00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 3: Bills play on Saturday evening, So we will bring you

6
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 3: up to speed knowing that today, which is normally an

7
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 3: off day Tuesday, is a game install Wednesday for all

8
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 3: intent and purposes, so the Bills will be busy. Sean

9
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 3: McDermott addressing the media, we will bring that to you

10
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 3: as soon as it's available to us. Some early news

11
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 3: today is day Kwon Jones is opening up his twenty

12
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:25,399
Speaker 3: one day practice window as a player on injured reserve today,

13
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:29,680
Speaker 3: so that is encouraging news. Earlier this morning, he tweeted

14
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:33,039
Speaker 3: a smiley face and a picture of himself in practice gear,

15
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 3: you know, full practice gear. So he was kind of

16
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 3: giving us an indication that he would be back on

17
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 3: the practice field this week. All that being said, coach

18
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 3: McDermott said, it is unlikely he will play this week.

19
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 3: So the good news is he's on the road back

20
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 3: and you know, asked he had been asked about Day

21
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 3: Kwon's status last week, and he said, yeah, the light's

22
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 3: going from red to yellow. Now we have to get

23
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 3: from yellow to GREENO. He's put back on the active roster.

24
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 4: This is a huge step though.

25
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 5: We and we were talking a couple of weeks ago

26
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 5: when Dayek one's name started to pop up again and

27
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 5: how when coach said, it has always been day We

28
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 5: spoke to him, met him in the hallways out here

29
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 5: and he said, yeah, I'm And this.

30
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 2: Was when he was armed, was patched a couple of months.

31
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 4: It was months ago.

32
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 5: He goes, yeah, no, I'm He goes, I am gonna

33
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 5: be He wanted to and felt like he was absolutely

34
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 5: going to be back this season. So it's really neat

35
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 5: to see a guy, you know, kind of speak it

36
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 5: into existence from the torn peck that he got earlier

37
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:36,359
Speaker 5: in the season to come back and want to be

38
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,519
Speaker 5: contributing at the end of the season. A nice nice

39
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 5: job by him to get to this point.

40
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 2: So Coach mcdermot's addressing the media. Let's go there now, all.

41
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 6: Right, good afternoon. I'll give you an injury update here

42
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 6: as we get started. So first, first of all, Vaughn

43
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 6: is not here today. Von's tending uh to a family

44
00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 6: funeral that he has day Kwon jones Is window will

45
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 6: will open today. I don't expect him to play at

46
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 6: this point, but it's good to have him back starting

47
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 6: to work out there. Uh Kye And Justin Shorter's window

48
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 6: remains open, and then Jordan Phillips will not practice just

49
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 6: coming off that that risk surgery. Everyone else will practice

50
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 6: in some capacity.

51
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 7: I think it's like for Jordan and you guys NFL

52
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 7: kind of his trajectory.

53
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 8: I don't right now.

54
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 6: I just haven't had a chance to connect with Nate

55
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 6: just due to the short week here yet.

56
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 9: Certain idea of one bond may.

57
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 6: Return right now scheduled tonight. That'll be back in town tonight.

58
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 10: Sometimes, Hey, Sean, when he did when he did day

59
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 10: quon back out there, how can you assimulate some of

60
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 10: the things that sort of tests where he's at power

61
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 10: wise that he'll need to be game?

62
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 11: Uh?

63
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 6: I mean, excuse me, just today's a walkthrough, so it's

64
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 6: going to be tough today. You know, we'll just get

65
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 6: a better feel for probably tomorrow and he'll practice tomorrow

66
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 6: and get you know, get through the drill work individual

67
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 6: and take it from there.

68
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 12: It's Benson's uh November.

69
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,919
Speaker 11: Since we asked you about that is, there's still the

70
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:19,720
Speaker 11: chances aren't looking good at for you coming back at

71
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 11: your coming Yeah.

72
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, to my knowledge the information I have right now,

73
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 6: it's it's not looking good.

74
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 12: Did you mention Tid Johnson?

75
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 13: I missed.

76
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:28,919
Speaker 12: I wasn't listening.

77
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 8: I did not mention Ti.

78
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 9: What's his?

79
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:32,039
Speaker 13: He had the shoulder?

80
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 11: What's his?

81
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 6: Said?

82
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 14: Shoulder?

83
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, he'll be out there of practice today when.

84
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 12: It comes to change.

85
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 9: You look and if you can reflect back. I don't

86
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 9: even do the main scouting on him, but coming out

87
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,799
Speaker 9: of Georgia and knowing that he was, you know, involved

88
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 9: in that backfield, sharing the backfield there, what did you

89
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 9: see him and did you see the potential in him

90
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 9: coming out of college and after winning a natural championship?

91
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean Brandon and I were, you know, discussing

92
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 6: that leading up to the draft, and the scouts did

93
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 6: a good job and as did Brandon and identifying James

94
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 6: as a potential candidate for in particular that pass catching

95
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 6: and running back position when he when James came in

96
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 6: last season, we probably didn't get him enough targets in

97
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 6: that and that takes time, right, that takes work with

98
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 6: a quarterback and and wrap upon rep so now you're

99
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 6: starting to see some of that in addition to the

100
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 6: running game as well.

101
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 15: I think it maybe just to clarify with Matt, you're

102
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,039
Speaker 15: not referring just to the end of the regular season.

103
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 15: You'd be talking about any in all playoffs as well

104
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 15: for him.

105
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's hard for me to say because I have

106
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,919
Speaker 6: not asked that specifically, but the general information I've gotten

107
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 6: on on Matt Mallona, that's what you're talking about, right, Malona,

108
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 6: is that he will not return this year. That I

109
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 6: have not gotten any anything different up to up to

110
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 6: this point in regards to Matt's status.

111
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 13: How tricky is it for a quarterback who really hasn't

112
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 13: played much at all. You've got the one game too,

113
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 13: what's the challenge of that?

114
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, there's only so much There's only so much film

115
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 6: out there, you know. I really thought in the in

116
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 6: the game and a half that he's played this year,

117
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 6: give or take that, he's since done a really real

118
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,919
Speaker 6: nice job. I mean, another result against the Raiders was

119
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 6: the result, But I don't think that's indicative of who

120
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,279
Speaker 6: he is and and his his.

121
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 8: Uh, his talent level as a quarterback.

122
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 6: I mean, you see him in the pocket, he moves well,

123
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 6: he's athletic, he does some real nice things. He threw

124
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 6: smackerate balls, and so I think it's, uh, you know,

125
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 6: we need to be on our a game and have

126
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 6: our focus where it needs to be this week.

127
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 15: And how about the challenge of I know you maybe

128
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 15: addressed this yesterday a little bit, but it's pretty rare

129
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 15: to go up against a brand new coaching staff in

130
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,720
Speaker 15: season like this. What what kind of a challenge does

131
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 15: that present knowing you know nothing about how they call

132
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:53,599
Speaker 15: a game or anything like that.

133
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, you said it, there's there's gonna be a lot

134
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,479
Speaker 6: of unknowns when we had out there, So we've got

135
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 6: to make sure again that we are playing good team football.

136
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 6: We're all disciplined the way we need to be disciplined

137
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 6: and focused where we need to be focused. And I

138
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 6: think that's a that's a big part of the challenge

139
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 6: this week.

140
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 15: Can you can elaborate a little bit on your philosophy

141
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 15: of going up against number one receivers? You talked a

142
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 15: little bit yesterday about how you know, if you take

143
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 15: them away, that eliminates you know, one of one way

144
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 15: to get beat. But just you know, is that a weekend,

145
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 15: week out thing for this defense to to say we've

146
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 15: got to focus on whoever their top target is and

147
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 15: try to take them away as much as possible.

148
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 6: Well, that's what you're trying to do. You're not always

149
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 6: successful with it, you know. I think if your eys

150
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 6: had done a good job to this point managing that,

151
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 6: and I think that's you know, the quickest way to

152
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 6: get beat is usually with the number one, number one receiver,

153
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 6: at least through the air, obviously, so you know we've tried.

154
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 6: We tried pretty intentional about that in twenty twenty one.

155
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 9: And I may be wrong on this, but your path

156
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 9: to the playoffs was clear or went out and you're in.

157
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 9: It's not so clear right now the way things are muddled.

158
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 9: How does the uncertainty or does it change anything? Just

159
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 9: not knowing that your path is not guaranteed.

160
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 8: We're just focused on the chargers right now.

161
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 6: We can't control anything that's outside of our control, and

162
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 6: we just have to focus on the charges right now

163
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 6: because if we don't handle that, and then all that

164
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 6: other stuff is not going to matter.

165
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 13: Is there a dame that danger not the way the

166
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 13: best word, but a team that lost the way they

167
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,559
Speaker 13: lost the last do you have to consider that at all,

168
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 13: that's going to be a team that's like Denver got

169
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 13: killed and they came back and won their next game.

170
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 13: Is this something you got to think about with the

171
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 13: Chargers coming off the loss like that.

172
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 6: Well, this is the NFL, so you have to take

173
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 6: every measure each week to play your best football, whether

174
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 6: it's last week or this week, because if you're not

175
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 6: on your a game, it shows up rather quickly and

176
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 6: then you go you head to the buses with with uh,

177
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 6: you know, sour faces and everything. So you know there's

178
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 6: there's a way to get the results in this league,

179
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 6: and it starts with putting in the work and earning

180
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 6: the right to win.

181
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,679
Speaker 16: Sean, what does a win like the Dallas game, you know,

182
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 16: this weekend do to maybe solidify that.

183
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 11: It's one thing to be confident. It's nothing to go.

184
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 16: Out and execute the way you guys did in all

185
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 16: phases against the Cowboys at this point in the year,

186
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 16: especially given what this team has been through. How much

187
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 16: is that, whether it's build with confidence or whatever, how

188
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 16: do you view what that game.

189
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 9: Can do to propel you down?

190
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think it's it should should help confidence number one.

191
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:46,559
Speaker 6: Beyond that, though, you know the good teams do it,

192
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:48,079
Speaker 6: do it more than once.

193
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 8: And and I think.

194
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,319
Speaker 6: That's where our focus has to be this week is

195
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:57,359
Speaker 6: is doubling down on the focus, doubling down on the execution,

196
00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 6: the really the preparation that leads to the execution, that

197
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 6: details we have.

198
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 8: To have on game day.

199
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:07,439
Speaker 6: And and I mean, listen, it's a short week for us,

200
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 6: right They're coming off of you know, nine ten days

201
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 6: rest roughly, and we're coming off of six days rest.

202
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 8: So you know, we've got to have a good week

203
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 8: of preparation.

204
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,199
Speaker 17: Here, John, going into the season, Middle live Ack, Who's

205
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 17: a story a lot that we talked about a lot.

206
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 17: Has Treill Bernard maybe exceeded even your expectations not only

207
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 17: playing but just leading your defense.

208
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 6: I mean to come in and do what he's done

209
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 6: a as a.

210
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 8: Player, be as a leader of our of our defense.

211
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,839
Speaker 6: That's that's a big piece of the job, right when

212
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 6: you can it's probably really fifty to fifty part leadership.

213
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 6: The other fifty percent is is making your own plays.

214
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:50,079
Speaker 6: And and he's done well in both both of those areas,

215
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 6: and he knows and he wants to as much as

216
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 6: anybody improve continue to improve his game and really for

217
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 6: us as an as an entire football team, that's our

218
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 6: that's our goal is get better every week.

219
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 11: What what it stood out about?

220
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 10: Dodd said that, you know, he's been able to sort

221
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 10: of solidify that role by the defense.

222
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 6: He stepped up his game, he really has, and and

223
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:16,439
Speaker 6: that's been fun to watch. The week that there was

224
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 6: a week after Matt went down and then well the

225
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,199
Speaker 6: game even Matt went down, and we kind of went

226
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 6: back and forth between uh Tyrrell and and I believe

227
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 6: it was doring at the time, and then for maybe

228
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 6: a few weeks or one or two weeks after that,

229
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 6: and then to t Dot's credit, he stepped up and

230
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 6: and became very consistent.

231
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 8: Uh, and he's done that ever since.

232
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 6: So it's, uh, it's been fun to watch and I'm

233
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 6: extremely extremely proud of him.

234
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,319
Speaker 15: What's your view on Khalil Knack and hasn't really to

235
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 15: continue to put up the production he does to step

236
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:44,839
Speaker 15: in his career.

237
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:45,679
Speaker 8: Yeah.

238
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 6: You talk about different difference makers in the NFL, He's

239
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:50,959
Speaker 6: one of them, and he's been doing it for a

240
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 6: long time.

241
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 8: And that he turned the tape on, that hasn't changed.

242
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 9: You talk You talked about identity and how long it

243
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 9: takes for a team finance identity. Given the fact to

244
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 9: this part of the season and how the team's played

245
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 9: over the past couple of weeks with its backs against

246
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 9: the wall, is the identity of this team coming more today?

247
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 8: I believe it is. Yeah, I believe it is.

248
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 6: And it starts with days like this and goes right

249
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:19,959
Speaker 6: on taking it one day at a time and one

250
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,319
Speaker 6: week at a time. We've got to be very intentional

251
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 6: about what we're trying to do and how we're trying

252
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 6: to get it done this week.

253
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:28,559
Speaker 2: Nice message, all right.

254
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 3: So that's head coach Jean mcduran addressing the media prior

255
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 3: to today's walk through practice on a short week, Rest

256
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 3: in the legs, rest in the bodies. Especially to Shawn's points, Steve,

257
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 3: the Chargers are coming off a mini buy here, which

258
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 3: is probably why ownership felt comfortable making a change they

259
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 3: felt was necessary at this point in time. Give the

260
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 3: interim coach, give Smith and the respective play callers a

261
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,319
Speaker 3: little extra time to get their feet under them in

262
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 3: their new roles, to prepare a football team for a

263
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 3: game this week.

264
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,839
Speaker 2: So there is that.

265
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 3: I want to ask you this though, because I asked

266
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 3: Mitch Morse after the game on Sunday, and he didn't

267
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 3: really he kind of downplayed it a little bit. How

268
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 3: much will it help the bill starters that they didn't

269
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 3: have to play the fourth quarter of the game last

270
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,959
Speaker 3: Sunday going into this game off six days rest, five

271
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 3: days rest, Really it'll help?

272
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, no question about it. I mean to what degree

273
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,599
Speaker 4: you can less sore? I don't know. You know, you

274
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 4: know what I mean.

275
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,559
Speaker 2: He's taking like fifteen twenty hits off your body.

276
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,439
Speaker 5: Well, here's the thing. You don't twist your ankle and

277
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:38,079
Speaker 5: you're not out for the game. When you're standing on

278
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 5: the sidelines, you know, nobody got hurt.

279
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 4: They didn't.

280
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,199
Speaker 5: Their injury list didn't get longer and longer as they

281
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 5: as they come through this game. You know, it's like,

282
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 5: oh my god, you know you lose, you got That's

283
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 5: why people take it for granted, those kneel downs at

284
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 5: the end of the game. Nobody's looking to bang heads anymore,

285
00:13:56,559 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 5: you know, so you do dodge any unforeseen and unpredictable

286
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 5: injury inner injuries that will happen. But yeah, I think

287
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:10,079
Speaker 5: the stress relief is as much as is as important

288
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,320
Speaker 5: as the injury relief. You know, where you know the

289
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 5: game's in hand. He's like, Wow, it's the first time

290
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 5: all week you can take a deep breath and kind

291
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 5: of relax. Yeah, it's it does help all right.

292
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 3: Now, Now couple these two things together for me, new

293
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 3: interim coach. We know about the interim coach bump, but

294
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 3: then couple that with getting completely embarrassed on national television

295
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 3: in your last game.

296
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 2: How much more self.

297
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 3: Motivated do you anticipate this Chargers team to be coming

298
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 3: out on the field Saturday night this week at home.

299
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 5: There's a There's there's a lot in that because I

300
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 5: don't know what the Chargers locker rooms, Like Joey Bosa

301
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 5: is not there, so one of their leaders is not around.

302
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 5: Their quarterback is not in the in the room, you know,

303
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 5: like he has been. You know, is this guy Eastern Stick?

304
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 5: Is he a guy they rally around. It's like, okay,

305
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 5: come on, man, yeah, I want I want the best,

306
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 5: you know that kind of thing. Uh, You've got an

307
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 5: interim head coach that, even from the East Coast where

308
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 5: we're at, has no shot at being their head coach

309
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 5: at the end of this whole thing none.

310
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 4: So there's that too.

311
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 5: So there's a lot of things in this that are

312
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 5: like going these these guys are trying to get to

313
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 5: the beach. You know they're done, but they did get embarrassed,

314
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 5: and there's something in that. You do have a shot

315
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 5: to take a big swing at you can see you know,

316
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 5: finger quotes a heavyweight. You know, take a big swing

317
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 5: and go down, you know, go down hard. You know,

318
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 5: take your Haymaker shot at these guys coming in here.

319
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 5: And the Bills are on a short week and they're

320
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 5: on a long week. So there's you know, there's both

321
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 5: sides that there's a lot of context here and I

322
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 5: can't tell you what the Chargers are gonna look, but

323
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 5: let me just say this. It's not like they're a

324
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 5: championship caliber team who has been to the super Bowl

325
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 5: in the playoffs and they're doing all this great stuff.

326
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 5: They got a lot of pride, They got some guys

327
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 5: who have really made their bones and are famous for

328
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 5: being great players. No, the Charger they got the playoffs

329
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 5: last year and absolutely vomited on their own shoes in

330
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 5: that game. So this is not a team with a

331
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 5: rich championship heritage that is like, okay, guys, we're gonna

332
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 5: do this because you know, once a Charger are always

333
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 5: a Charger kind of thing. There ain't none of that

334
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 5: going on out there.

335
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 2: Okay, So it's my it's my belief that.

336
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 3: The Bills have to kind of weather the first ten

337
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 3: minutes of this football game. You know, the first ten

338
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 3: minutes off the clock. The Chargers are gonna be juiced up.

339
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 3: They're gonna be, as you said, swinging haymakers, taking chances,

340
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 3: being aggressive. You get through all that and you'll and

341
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 3: you're no worse for wear, maybe even have a lead.

342
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 3: I could see that Chargers team saying, eh, nothing's really

343
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,919
Speaker 3: changed here. Why are we gonna bother laying it all?

344
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's you know what I mean.

345
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:10,880
Speaker 3: Like I kind of seen the psyche of the Chargers

346
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:12,120
Speaker 3: kind of unfolding that way.

347
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 5: It's an absolutely classic point of view going into this game.

348
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 5: If you if the Bills come out and have a

349
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 5: drive in the opening series like they did against the

350
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:27,679
Speaker 5: Dallas Cowboys, you you kind of get the feeling that that, okay, thanks,

351
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,360
Speaker 5: you know, they're done the Charger. Like when we can't

352
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 5: even I mean, you got this guy like like, for instance,

353
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 5: that we're gonna have Andrew Brandt on the show to

354
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 5: or Kyle Brant on the show today and he's gonna

355
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 5: do that.

356
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 4: You talk about it. Angry runs. They gave.

357
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 5: James Cook the angry run for the snowplow play. If

358
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 5: they come out and all eleven and they just push

359
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 5: the Chargers out of the way, Come on, bro, get

360
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,399
Speaker 5: me out of here. If I'm a Charger, Yeah, not

361
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 5: sign it up. Let's running clock, let's go. Yeah, the

362
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 5: early part of this game, We'll say how feisty the

363
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 5: Chargers feel like being.

364
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 4: Because maybe they do even the bigtually yeah, and even.

365
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 5: The biggest pep talk in the world, but pregame only

366
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 5: last year through the opening kickoff, you know. So Yeah,

367
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 5: there's that classic point of view where you think, listen,

368
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:21,120
Speaker 5: if we hit these guys in the mouth early, they're

369
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 5: gonna fold up and go home.

370
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 4: Don't know if it's true, We.

371
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 2: Will see on Saturday.

372
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:30,160
Speaker 3: We should mention the Bills, as we know, had two

373
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:34,400
Speaker 3: big afternoon window games at four to twenty five each

374
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 3: of the last two weeks. Two weeks ago at Kansas City,

375
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:41,439
Speaker 3: this past week here at home against Dallas, and the

376
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 3: Bills have been the NFL's most watched team over the

377
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 3: last two weeks based on their massive TV ratings in

378
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 3: each of those last two games, the Bills went over.

379
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 3: The Cowboys drew twenty six point three million viewers on Fox,

380
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 3: the highest rated game in Week fifteen and up twenty

381
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 3: four three percent over last week last year's Week fifteen game,

382
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 3: and then a week prior to that, twenty six point

383
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:11,200
Speaker 3: oh four million watched Buffalo beat Kansas City. That game,

384
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:14,440
Speaker 3: which was on CBS, also the highest rated game of

385
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:19,160
Speaker 3: the week across all networks. So you got a combined

386
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 3: audience of fifty two million over the last two weeks

387
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:23,119
Speaker 3: watching the Bills.

388
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 5: I'm not and listen, I'm like, yes, you're right. But

389
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 5: I'll say this too. The games that fall in those

390
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 5: windows four o'clock windows always draw bills, always kills, always

391
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:36,920
Speaker 5: kill it. That's why it's such a the four to

392
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 5: twenty five. It's not the night games. It's that four

393
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 5: to twenty five window on a Sunday afternoon. I'll say this, though,

394
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 5: you look back at those two games, the Cowboy game

395
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 5: and the Chiefs game. That Chiefs game, it's not the

396
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 5: same Chiefs Bills game we've seen in the past. But

397
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,199
Speaker 5: you know the thirteen second game or the you know,

398
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 5: all that stuff to go it's a but the way

399
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 5: that Chiefs game ended with Pat Mahomes throwing his helmet

400
00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 5: and you know the anger and the and the thrown

401
00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 5: of fit and all the controversy, all the I gotta say,

402
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 5: you could put the Bills Chiefs games on at midnight

403
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 5: and they draw a huge number. You gotta watch those

404
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 5: two jokers play. So there's a little bit of that

405
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 5: in there too. Plus Cowboys coming in the big NFC,

406
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 5: you know, the East, and they're playing lights out football

407
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:21,680
Speaker 5: and then the Bills lump them up. Yeah, those are

408
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 5: two marquee matchups in the biggest window of the week,

409
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,439
Speaker 5: and kudos are the Bills for being a part of

410
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 5: that because they deserved it. People want to see these

411
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 5: guys play, they want to see them, and they have

412
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 5: not disappointed.

413
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 3: They performed well in both of them. We've got a

414
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 3: jam packed show for you today. You already heard from

415
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:41,119
Speaker 3: head coach Sean McDermott.

416
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 4: Coming up in.

417
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:45,120
Speaker 3: About ten minutes time, we will have Kyle Brand from

418
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 3: Good Morning Football. Our good friend rejoins us to recap

419
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:53,120
Speaker 3: his angry Run segments this week because a Buffalo Bill

420
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 3: one angry run scepter here in week fifteen. So we'll

421
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,239
Speaker 3: catch up with Kyle to lay all that out for

422
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 3: you hour number two, As we do every Tuesday, we

423
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,919
Speaker 3: catch up with ESPN. NFL analyst Dan Orlovsky had a

424
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 3: great segment on NFL Live on ESPN about what the

425
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 3: Bills did in terms of what he calls hopping the

426
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,880
Speaker 3: back with James Cook pre snap moving him from one

427
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 3: side of Josh and the shotgun to the other to

428
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 3: change the run play and the direction it heads, which

429
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:28,120
Speaker 3: was most times away from Micah Parsons. And we'll dive

430
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 3: into that with him along with this upcoming matchup and

431
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:34,879
Speaker 3: what to expect from the Chargers, and then later on

432
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,919
Speaker 3: in hour number two, we will have post practice press

433
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 3: conferences from the players as they address the media in

434
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 3: Q and A sessions after practice is over today.

435
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 2: So we are chock.

436
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 3: Full of content for you here on Tuesday's edition of

437
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 3: the show. And just to recap, we'll do the Bills

438
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 3: practice updates, which are presented by Leecom Lake Erie College

439
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 3: of Osteopathic Medicine. After we got off the air yesterday,

440
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 3: coach McDermott addressed the media and informed everyone that Jordan

441
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 3: Phillips had to undergo risk surgery yesterday. He is labeled

442
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:13,879
Speaker 3: week to week, which would certainly indicate he's not going

443
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:17,160
Speaker 3: to play, especially on a short week against the Chargers

444
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 3: on Saturday night. That would all, for all intents and purposes,

445
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 3: mean that poona Ford will be up and active for

446
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 3: Saturday's game. Be the first time in a while for him.

447
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 3: I don't think he's dressed on game day in about

448
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 3: six seven weeks, so it'll be a welcome opportunity for

449
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 3: him to get some game action along with the other

450
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 3: defensive interior players in that rotation. We heard him, We

451
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 3: heard coach McDermott say that both Justin Shorter and Kyrie

452
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 3: Elam will continue to practice. Their windows remain open. They

453
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 3: don't have to make a decision on Kyrie Elam until

454
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:52,359
Speaker 3: next week.

455
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 2: They don't have to make.

456
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 3: A decision on Justin Shorter for another two weeks. They

457
00:22:57,640 --> 00:22:59,679
Speaker 3: have twenty one day practice windows, and at the end

458
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 3: of that window they have to make a decision whether

459
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 3: they add that player to the active roster. If they

460
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 3: leave them on injured reserve, they stay there the rest

461
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 3: of the season. So a decision to be made certainly

462
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:12,399
Speaker 3: on Kyrie Eland maybe even more so than Justin Shorter.

463
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 3: Depending on how thin or thick the ranks are in

464
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:23,120
Speaker 3: Buffalo's secondary come next week. And then beyond that, Ty

465
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,919
Speaker 3: Johnson is fine. We know he got his shoulder dinged

466
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 3: in the game on Sunday against the Cowboys. He did

467
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 3: return and finish the game, and he is going to

468
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 3: practice today as well. But we'll probably know a little

469
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 3: bit more when the injury report comes out, so I

470
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:40,639
Speaker 3: think that will be tomorrow though, even though it's a

471
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:42,680
Speaker 3: Saturday game. I could be wrong on that, but we'll

472
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 3: find out later this afternoon for sure. And then, as

473
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:48,400
Speaker 3: you heard at the top of the show, Dai Kwon

474
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 3: Jones is practicing. He's on injured reserve, but he opens

475
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 3: his twenty one day practice window today, so he's probably

476
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 3: not going to play this week according to coach mc dermott,

477
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 3: But we'll see what next week holds and the week

478
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 3: after that, and you know, hopefully he kind of gets

479
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:10,399
Speaker 3: back into the fold, because that would be a welcome return,

480
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 3: to say the least.

481
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 5: Absolutely crusher about Jordan Phillips going down with his wrist,

482
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:17,440
Speaker 5: although it doesn't one of his best games on you

483
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 5: he did played extremely well to bummer to see him

484
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 5: go down like that, but Linval, Joseph came in, took

485
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 5: some meaningful snaps, played well. So they've got some guys

486
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:32,640
Speaker 5: and it doesn't sound anything like Jordan Phillips has done.

487
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 4: For the year. He's just weak to week, So I'm.

488
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 2: Maybe it's just a clean up kind of thing where.

489
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:41,400
Speaker 5: Maybe I don't know who knows, but because you got

490
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 5: all those bones in your row, here's the thing. He

491
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 5: can certainly having your hands free and clear your wrists

492
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:53,399
Speaker 5: and all that helps. But as a defensive tackle, he

493
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:55,119
Speaker 5: can still go in there and be a big body

494
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:57,399
Speaker 5: and cause a big presence if he has, you know,

495
00:24:57,440 --> 00:24:59,439
Speaker 5: if they have to tape his wrist up.

496
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,399
Speaker 3: And last year he was a guy playing with one

497
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 3: arm with the shoulder problem that required surgery in the offseason.

498
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 4: That's true.

499
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,879
Speaker 5: So he'll if he can go. You know that Jordan

500
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 5: Phillips will go. But I think right now they're probably

501
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 5: protecting him from himself.

502
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:13,920
Speaker 9: A little bit.

503
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:14,679
Speaker 2: Don't know.

504
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:18,440
Speaker 3: If you heard Jerry Jones in his weekly radio appearance Steve.

505
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:19,359
Speaker 4: I did, I heard?

506
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 3: I didn't ask asked about the result in Buffalo and

507
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:31,440
Speaker 3: the game against the Bills on Sunday, and he indicated

508
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 3: that weather was a factor in the loss. He said

509
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 3: it was raining lightly in the first half, but it

510
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 3: rained much harder in the second half, and that compromised

511
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 3: the Cowboys' efforts. If rain is going to reduce your

512
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:49,879
Speaker 3: offense to ten points a game, you got no chance

513
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 3: in the playoffs. And here's why Steve, Philadelphia went loses yesterday.

514
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,360
Speaker 3: So there's still there's still dead It's still a heat

515
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,160
Speaker 3: at the top of the NFC East because both teams

516
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 3: are ten and five now or ten and no ten

517
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 3: and four, ten and four. So you've got a situation

518
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:17,919
Speaker 3: where home field advantage is going to be of the

519
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 3: utmost importance to the Dallas Cowboys. They are seven and

520
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 3: zero at home, three and four on the road. So

521
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 3: if there was ever a team that wanted to be

522
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 3: home for at least one or two playoff games, it's

523
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 3: the Dallas Cowboys because if they're worried about rain, wait

524
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 3: till what you got to see, you know, later on.

525
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:42,360
Speaker 5: And I'll say this, Dallas had to be doing cartwheels

526
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,439
Speaker 5: last night as Philly gives up a late touchdown to

527
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 5: lose to go ten and four and give Dallas the

528
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,480
Speaker 5: division lead right now with three games to play. As

529
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 5: an absolutely enormous outcome last night in Seattle when Drew

530
00:26:56,160 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 5: Locke throws a perfect throw down the side the ball

531
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,359
Speaker 5: on his own eight yard line and goes takes him

532
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:07,679
Speaker 5: on a perfect two minute drive ninety two yards for

533
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 5: a touchdown. Absolutely fantastic job by Drew Locke and the

534
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:15,439
Speaker 5: Seattle Seahawks. At home, they beat the Philadelphia Eagles, and

535
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:17,639
Speaker 5: if it weren't for a fifty nine yard or in

536
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:20,160
Speaker 5: a rainstorm, the Eagles would have lost four in a row,

537
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 5: not just three. So they drop it last night to

538
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 5: the Seahawks, and the Cowboys are now the NFC East leaders.

539
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:29,959
Speaker 3: In the clubhouse, break time for us here, but when

540
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 3: we come back, our good friend Kyle Brandt will join

541
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 3: us for a few minutes and review angry runs here

542
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:39,880
Speaker 3: for week fifteen, which has a Bills player as this

543
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 3: week's winner. We'll expand on that when we return here.

544
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 3: On One Bill's Live presented by Kalida Health, It's Buffalo

545
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:46,560

Speaker 20: Baby.

00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 18: Now, I would like a little better if the snowman

00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:21,680
Speaker 18: himself was a little bit bo He's kind of lagging behind,

560
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:22,119
Speaker 18: like he's.

561
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:23,400
Speaker 4: The foeman on the snowflow.

Speaker 21: Who called the snowflow.

563
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:25,400
Speaker 11: That is his name?

564
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 21: That name again, it is no snowplow.

565
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 18: Look at how many people we got here, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight,

566
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 18: night ten and in the middle, unfreezing, you got a

Speaker 11: Night they opened the restaurant.

570
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 22: You've got to get it.

571
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 11: Here's your list of angry cooks.

572
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 18: You got burn Ramsey, you got red at Twoey pulling

573
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 18: people's hair, and then you got Casey right back punching

574
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 18: out everybody on a battleship, and you got James Cook.

575
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 11: Now listen, this is the snowplow.

576
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 18: Some people Jamie don't like the scrum species of Angry Run.

577
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 4: I like them all and.

578
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 11: I love James cometun it to the.

579
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 18: Compost tone center tone, center tone, center.

580
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 2: All right, that's Kyle Brand for Good Morning Football.

581
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 3: Is kind enough to give us a few minutes today

582
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:14,479
Speaker 3: to kind of recap a segment where you know, he

583
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 3: often loses his oxygen supply and you know sometimes has

584
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 3: to go on a respirator after he's done, and this

585
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 3: week was no different.

586
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 2: But James Cook the Angry.

587
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 3: Runs winner, even though you can't you literally could not

588
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 3: see him in the footage, but he wins it anyway.

589
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 3: And I know, I know you have some dissenting voters

590
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 3: on your panel, Kyle, because Jamie Rdall is staunchly against

591
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 3: any group efforts in Angry Runs.

592
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 11: Yes, first of all, it's great to see you guys.

593
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 19: I love you, I miss you. I appreciate the invite.

594
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 19: I want you to know, Steve, that before I came.

595
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 23: On, I had to go into my wife's part of

596
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 23: the closet, like task Jersey, Listen, my wife Brooke has

597
00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 23: only owned one jersey in her life.

598
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 19: It's a Steve Tasker jersey. She's never on them before.

599
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 19: She never wants to own one.

600
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 21: Ever.

601
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 11: You gave it to her years ago. She was thrilled

602
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 11: by it.

603
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 19: So I wear it around where I live here in

604
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,720
Speaker 19: suburban New York, and every single person comes up to

605
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 19: me and goes, oh, Mark Bavaro, that's right.

606
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 11: Not at all.

607
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 4: I know.

608
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 5: I walk around, I do the same thing. Oh there's

609
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 5: a Mark Bavaro fan, and no, it's oh there you go.

610
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 5: I uh, yeah, it is a it's a It's been

611
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 5: a weird, uh roller coaster a year for the Bills,

612
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 5: but they do seem to be peaking at the right moment.

613
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 5: They're they're hot. They just beat a white hot Cowboys team.

614
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 5: I don't think that's indicative of how the Cowboys are.

615
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 5: I think they're a much better football team than they

616
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 5: were able to show in the rain storm the other night.

617
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:45,240
Speaker 5: But the Bills were better, no question about it. And

618
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 5: they absolutely bullied a team. It's a time where we

619
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 5: saw the Bills win a game in a very different fashion.

620
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 5: Josh was just hey, Josh turned into you know a name,

621
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 5: a quarterback who's a manager. You know, it was just

622
00:30:57,760 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 5: a caretaker.

623
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 11: Yeah, Town is a big Ryan Tannehill fans.

624
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 5: Off right, Josh Allen was Ryan Tannehill. It's it's looks

625
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 5: like the Bills are poised. Although right now they're in

626
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 5: ninth place. They need to get all the way to

627
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 5: seventh place if they can. But the Bills are in

628
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 5: a good spot.

629
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 11: They're in a great spot.

630
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 19: And it's like I said, I think I screamed at

631
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 19: five times in the clip you played Tonesetter, Tone Setter,

632
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 19: Tone Setter.

633
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 11: It's what brings us here today.

634
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 19: It's not a coincidence that that angry run was on

635
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 19: the first series of the game. It's almost my favorite

636
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 19: kind of anger run when they come early, James Cook

637
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 19: with the entire offensive line and the schnow plow. So

638
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 19: I I mean said it on Good Morning Football, but

639
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 19: I want to, I guess in our own world break

640
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 19: some news here today. We decided the Angry Runs Council

641
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 19: that we will have co winners this week. It will

642
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 19: not only be James Cook aka Jimbo Cook aka Himbo Cook.

643
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 19: It will be Dion Dawkins the Snowman, as well. We

644
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 19: are sending two scepters to Western New York. They'll be

645
00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 19: a Tomorrow homage. The company does our T shirts will

646
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 19: put two figures.

647
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 11: On the shirt. It's a rare thing that almost never

648
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 11: happens out.

649
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 19: But I had to give Dion some credit for the branding,

650
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 19: for the inspiration, and as I said, we're a little

651
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:15,720
Speaker 19: bit sick of the tush push to brotherly shove whatever.

652
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:17,720
Speaker 11: Plus, the Eagles haven't won a game in a damn month.

653
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 19: Now the snowplow is hot, and I set it on

654
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 19: the air.

655
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 11: Guys.

656
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 19: They will snowplow through the Chargers, they will snowplow through

657
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 19: the Patriots.

658
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 11: And they'll do what the hell they have to do.

659
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 19: In Week eighteen against the Dolphins, the only game I

660
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 19: was concerned about was the Cowboys game. Once they won

661
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 19: that they're going. They're going to the playoffs, and God,

662
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:41,480
Speaker 19: God rests the soul of the division winner who has

663
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 19: to potentially welcome the Bills that they get in as

664
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 19: a wildcard. Can you imagine that you win your division,

665
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 19: you get your T shirt, and you gotta welcome Josh

666
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 19: and the Boys in for your home game.

667
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 11: That sucks, but the Bills will be going.

668
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, Kyle.

669
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 3: I bounced this off Steve because I kind of pay

670
00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 3: attention to the weekly stat of dates that come out

671
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 3: usually on Tuesdays after the Monday night game. How surprised

672
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 3: are you if I told you that James Cook is

673
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 3: now second in the league in total yards from scrimmage,

674
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 3: behind only Tyreek Hill.

675
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 11: Is that true?

676
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 4: Yes? True?

677
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 11: That's one of these things, Brownie, that you've done this

678
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 11: long enough.

679
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 19: Sometimes I am presented with statistics from our research team

680
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 19: and you say them on the air and you're terrified.

681
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:27,960
Speaker 11: You're like, there's no way this is right. There's no

682
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 11: way this kid screwed this up. He hung me out

683
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 11: to dry. I'm gonna look like a fool.

684
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 19: But if you're telling me that is right, it feels

685
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 19: like he has eighty percent of those yards in the

686
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 19: last few weeks. And I said this on the air yesterday.

687
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 19: I feel like I love Kendorsey and in a lot

688
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:46,880
Speaker 19: of ways I grew up watching him the Miami team

689
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 19: and the rise and everything.

690
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:49,480
Speaker 11: You have to make tough decisions in the middle of

691
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:49,959
Speaker 11: a season.

692
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 19: Everybody likes him as a person, A lot of people

693
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 19: liked him as a coordinator.

694
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:56,600
Speaker 11: The fact that they did that it couldn't have been fun.

695
00:33:56,920 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 19: And yet I'm watching this James Cook look like some

696
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 19: combination of I don't know, a Marshawn Lynch and Thurman

697
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 19: Thomas the last couple of weeks.

698
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 11: He was the best player in that game.

699
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 19: He was the best player in the game on either

700
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:12,880
Speaker 19: side of the ball, a game that has maybe some

701
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 19: future Hall of famers in it. It was incredible. Looked

702
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:17,839
Speaker 19: like a wildly different player. And he's been good, don't

703
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 19: get me wrong, but he looked like a superstar. And

704
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:21,560
Speaker 19: I give credit to the offense.

705
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, and it's absolutely the first time we've been talking

706
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 5: about this for a couple of weeks. I want to

707
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 5: get your take on it. I said that, you know,

708
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:28,600
Speaker 5: in the first quarter and a half of the first

709
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 5: half of the Chiefs game two weeks ago, and then

710
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:34,799
Speaker 5: of course the entire game against the Cowboys. It's the

711
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:39,879
Speaker 5: first time in six years that the Bills offense, their

712
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 5: offensive engine wasn't Josh Allen, it was James Cook. And

713
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,719
Speaker 5: now you still got Josh sitting there waiting to throw

714
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:49,319
Speaker 5: and able to do all the stuff he's able to do.

715
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 5: But now they become a real problem to prepare for

716
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:56,800
Speaker 5: for the Chargers, for the Patriots, for the Dolphins and

717
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 5: whoever else is on the schedule.

718
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:02,759
Speaker 19: Well, listen, I grew up, you know when you were

719
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:04,240
Speaker 19: playing Steve and I grew up in Chicago.

720
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 11: I was watching the Jordan Bulls and the first championship run.

721
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,920
Speaker 19: The first three of the six you would have nights

722
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:13,719
Speaker 19: when Michael would have twelve points and maybe Scotty was off,

723
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 19: but then out of nowhere, Horace Grant had eighteen rebounds

724
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:17,959
Speaker 19: and twenty two points.

725
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:20,359
Speaker 11: You're like, this is incredible, and they still won. And

726
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:21,680
Speaker 11: that's a luxury.

727
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 19: Because Michael can get fifty points whenever he wants, and

728
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:26,920
Speaker 19: Josh Allen could go for four hundred total yards whenever

729
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:29,800
Speaker 19: he wants. It's exhausting, though, and it's a lot to ask,

730
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 19: and frankly, we've seen that for the last few years. Inevitably,

731
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,840
Speaker 19: you need help, you need super friends. The other teams

732
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:40,480
Speaker 19: are too good. So that's why it's so exciting that

733
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:44,239
Speaker 19: I just remember, you know, when Elway finally got to

734
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:47,240
Speaker 19: Rell Davis and it's like, whoa, this is a totally

735
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 19: different deal and a totally terrifying team. And that was

736
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 19: really the end of Belwagh, that he was past his prime,

737
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:57,600
Speaker 19: not like Josh. Josh is in his prime and he's

738
00:35:57,640 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 19: got this running back who looks like a star all

739
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 19: of a sudden, and we haven't even had the big

740
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 19: Stefan Diggs game in a while.

741
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:05,399
Speaker 11: That's coming. It's just they look great right now.

742
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:08,319
Speaker 19: I just hope that the math doesn't kill him if

743
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:10,359
Speaker 19: you do something dumb and you lose one of these

744
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:13,799
Speaker 19: next two games, especially, and then you look at how

745
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:15,719
Speaker 19: the hell did we lose that Denver game? How the

746
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:18,000
Speaker 19: hell did we lose that in New England game. The

747
00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:19,759
Speaker 19: math is a little scary because they're a great team,

748
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 19: but the record's not great. I just love how they're playing.

749
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:25,000
Speaker 19: They just beat the bejesus out of what the Cowboys

750
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:26,799
Speaker 19: team that some thought was top three in the league.

751
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 11: They didn't even look top twenty.

752
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:31,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, and speaking of math, I will correct myself. He's

753
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 3: second in the AFC in total yards from scrimmage behind

754
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 3: Tyreek only hold on, hold on only, No, that's my fault.

755
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 3: Only McCaffrey is at he's at the top, then it's Tyreek.

756
00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:44,279
Speaker 4: Then it's cooked.

757
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:47,680
Speaker 3: So he's third in the NFL in total yards from scrimmage,

758
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 3: second in the AFC. But yeah, the Bills are in

759
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:55,319
Speaker 3: March madness mode now, Kyle. It's survive in advance. That's

760
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 3: where they're at. They're already playing playoff games. For all

761
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 3: intents and purposes. I hope you are a soothsayer, and

762
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:04,720
Speaker 3: I hope Week eighteen is for all the marbles, maybe

763
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:08,520
Speaker 3: even for the division. We'll wait and see, but yeah,

764
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 3: with baited breath, we will do that. And on that note,

765
00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:13,160
Speaker 3: we will let you go. We know your time is

766
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:15,799
Speaker 3: tight and precious, but thank you for joining us.

767
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:16,759
Speaker 2: We appreciate you.

768
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:19,880
Speaker 3: Popping in and saying hey. And we know that Jimbo

769
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:21,799
Speaker 3: is happy. He's getting a scepter.

770
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:26,799
Speaker 19: Jimbo Dion and I gotta plug it right now. In

771
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 19: about a half an hour, bills, fans, I'm sitting down

772
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:33,040
Speaker 19: with James Cook and Dan Hawkins and we're doing Angry Chats,

773
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:35,560
Speaker 19: the ongoing series where the Anger Run winner or winners

774
00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 19: in this case, sit down and we just talk about

775
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:40,080
Speaker 19: the run and Anger and running guys over. I'm doing

776
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:41,239
Speaker 19: it like a half an hour to be out an

777
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:44,320
Speaker 19: NFL plus probably tomorrow, guys.

778
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 11: Thank you for having me.

779
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:47,719
Speaker 19: I remember coming on this show six years ago when

780
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:50,680

00:37:57,120 --> 00:38:00,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, and a final ps, Kyle ask Dion about his

785
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:03,200
Speaker 3: twenty yard block because there was a run by James

786
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 3: down to the one yard line and Dion was right

787
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:09,320
Speaker 3: behind him taking dmone Clark on a twenty yard roller

788
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:12,200
Speaker 3: skating ride down to the one yard line also and

789
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 3: he pancaked him at the end on the goal line.

790
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:19,719
Speaker 19: I was added on Twitter roughly fifty thousand times with

791
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 19: that player. I've seen it more times than I've seen

792
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 19: my children this week, so I will definitely ask him

793
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:25,800
Speaker 19: about that brownie.

794
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:26,760
Speaker 11: You're all over it as always.

795
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:28,239
Speaker 2: Thank you, Merry Christmas to your family.

796
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:30,319
Speaker 11: All right, we'll catch you guys too, see you later.

797
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:32,719
Speaker 3: All right. That's Kyle Brandt joining us, just popping in

798
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 3: giving us the four one one on the Angry rounds.

799
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 2: That's pretty cool. He's getting a scepter for an old

800
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 2: lineman too.

801
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:37,959
Speaker 8: Yeah.

802
00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:41,600
Speaker 4: Nice, And you're right that pancake Bill.

803
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's unbelievable.

804
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:46,880
Speaker 5: It's unbelievable that the Bills offensive line that was the

805
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 5: We talked about it on the podcast last week, which

806
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:52,799
Speaker 5: is now now. I started thinking about we should pick

807
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 5: somebody that we need to play well every week to

808
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:58,839
Speaker 5: talk about on the podcast. But we talked about the

809
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 5: offensive line last week, and this game is the first

810
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:05,440
Speaker 5: game in a long long time, and there's probably been others,

811
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 5: but they kind of don't stand out like games. This

812
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:12,800
Speaker 5: offensive line really flexed. I mean they flexed.

813
00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:14,520
Speaker 4: It was outright bullyball.

814
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:19,160
Speaker 5: They were showing off almost and Joe Brady, to his credit,

815
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:23,360
Speaker 5: let him go turn them loose, and you know, it

816
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:26,359
Speaker 5: was It was fun to watch. It doesn't happen very

817
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 5: often in the NFL anywhere, let alone whoever your offensive

818
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 5: line is, but man, oh man, those guys did it

819
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:36,080
Speaker 5: on Sunday night against against the Cowboys, and it was

820
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 5: fun to see.

821
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:41,440
Speaker 3: But yes, James Cook is third in the NFL in

822
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:45,399
Speaker 3: total yards from scrimmage. The only players ahead of him

823
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:51,759
Speaker 3: are two MVP candidates, Christian McCaffrey Tyreek Hill. McCaffrey has

824
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:56,240
Speaker 3: eighteen hundred one total yards from scrimmage. Hill has fifteen

825
00:39:56,320 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty seven. Next after that is James Cook

826
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 3: at fourteen oh one. That's gotta be the quietest surge

827
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:07,279
Speaker 3: to the top of the total yards from scrimmage leader

828
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:08,640
Speaker 3: board we have ever seen.

829
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:11,720
Speaker 5: It's, like Kyle said, these last two or three weeks

830
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 5: have been phenomenal for Cook. I mean you go back to, well.

831
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:18,200
Speaker 3: He's got he's got a five game streak now, I

832
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:21,160
Speaker 3: think of one hundred yards from scrimmage or more each

833
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:22,000
Speaker 3: of the last.

834
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:23,440
Speaker 5: All live game, going all the way back to the

835
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:27,319
Speaker 5: Denver game. Yeah, so it's he's on a roll and

836
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:30,640
Speaker 5: he's closing the gap between those guys ahead of him.

837
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 5: It'll be interesting to see, well, you know, we don't

838
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:35,680
Speaker 5: know because we've never seen that. We have seen this

839
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:38,960
Speaker 5: for U it's all been, it's been every year's been. Josh, Josh, Josh, Josh, Josh, Josh, Josh.

840
00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:39,719
Speaker 4: It'll be interesting to.

841
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:42,640
Speaker 5: See Joe Brady come out and say, you know what,

842
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:46,239
Speaker 5: We're gonna keep feeding him. We're gonna keep doing it

843
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:48,120
Speaker 5: no matter what the you know, We're gonna give him

844
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:50,200
Speaker 5: opportunities and find a way to do it and take

845
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:51,680
Speaker 5: some of the pressure off Josh. And then if we

846
00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:53,320
Speaker 5: get into one of these games, maybe in the playoffs

847
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:55,480
Speaker 5: or late in the season, then we can turn Josh

848
00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 5: loose again.

849
00:40:56,840 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 2: But or more importantly, they are riding bad weather game.

850
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:04,399
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, you got an answer now, I mean you're

851
00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 5: looking at you. I mean, let's you gotta start thinking

852
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 5: like that. We can talk like that because we're not

853
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:10,400
Speaker 5: in the locker room, so we're gonna go ahead and

854
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:11,279
Speaker 5: talk to big.

855
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:13,480
Speaker 4: So you think, here's the thing.

856
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:19,160
Speaker 5: If Buffalo wins the division, they might well be yes,

857
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 5: of course, but they may well be the four seed,

858
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:23,799
Speaker 5: not the three seed, you know, or the two seed

859
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 5: like Miami's the two seed now. But they're ten and

860
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:29,640
Speaker 5: four now if they drop three games or two games,

861
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 5: they're ten and six Bills or eleven and six Bills.

862
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:34,279
Speaker 5: Eleven and six Bills win the division because of the

863
00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:38,280
Speaker 5: head to head. You know, Jacksonville may well be eleven

864
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:40,399
Speaker 5: and six as well, but they win Buffalo's and had

865
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:42,120
Speaker 5: head though they get the you know what I mean.

866
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:44,920
Speaker 5: And Kansas City's only got five losses, so all that

867
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:47,280
Speaker 5: stuff's in. So the Bills may be the four seed

868
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:49,759
Speaker 5: and may end up going to some place like Cleveland

869
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:52,560
Speaker 5: or having Cleveland come here. And you're right, if you

870
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:56,360
Speaker 5: get a home game, the ground game is gonna be

871
00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:57,759
Speaker 5: a different You know, you got to have it in

872
00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:00,600
Speaker 5: your pocket to use if you need it, because you

873
00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:02,160
Speaker 5: never know, you know, we all know, you know, what

874
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 5: we're gonna get weather wise might be chilling Jerry Jones,

875
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:09,080
Speaker 5: and I was already blamed the rain for the Cowboys

876
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:10,279
Speaker 5: getting it unbelievable.

877
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:12,120
Speaker 4: You know it was great.

878
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:14,640
Speaker 5: One of the guys on the timeline said, you know,

879
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:18,920
Speaker 5: making a making a joke about Jerry Jones nicknaming the

880
00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:24,440
Speaker 5: Bills offensive line rain because that's that's what costed the game,

881
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:28,479
Speaker 5: that rain. So we'll see, we got along. We got

882
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:30,960
Speaker 5: so much that's gonna happen in these last three weeks

883
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:31,560
Speaker 5: of the season.

884
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:32,160
Speaker 6: Uh.

885
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:33,840
Speaker 5: And we can talk about it out here, but in

886
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:36,279
Speaker 5: the locker room. As Sean McDermott said today in his

887
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:39,200
Speaker 5: comments we carried on the show, this is about the

888
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:42,239
Speaker 5: This is about the Chargers this week. They're on a

889
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:46,280
Speaker 5: long many bye week. Getna get an intim head coach bump,

890
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 5: little enthusiasm, and the Bill's got to be ready for it,

891
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:50,879
Speaker 5: particularly early in this game.

892
00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:53,760
Speaker 3: Not to mention the fact that Keenan Allen is tearing

893
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:58,799
Speaker 3: it up the AFC and receptions, receiving yards, third down receptions.

894
00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:02,480
Speaker 3: He's having a monster year this year despite the loss

895
00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:03,320
Speaker 3: of Justin Herbert.

896
00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:06,880
Speaker 5: Nobody is firing Keenan Allen in LA. That's right, So

897
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:08,680
Speaker 5: he's he's gonna show up.

898
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:11,319
Speaker 3: Break time for us here, Steve and I back with

899

Speaker 4: What do you got for us?

912
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:08,080
Speaker 22: Frank, Oh, good morning or afternoon, fellows. I enjoy the

913
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:11,880
Speaker 22: show so much, but my question is with the offense

914
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:14,600
Speaker 22: rolling the way it has been. We have that big

915
00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:17,240
Speaker 22: stud back there for net that we're not even dressing

916
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:20,440
Speaker 22: for the games. It's a little disturbing to me that,

917
00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:23,840
Speaker 22: you know, he's faster than Murray, he's stronger than Murray,

918
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:25,960
Speaker 22: he could block, he can catch out of the backfield,

919
00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:30,040
Speaker 22: and they're not putting him in the game at all,

920
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:32,600
Speaker 22: and it just things seemed like he'd be an asset

921
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:35,479
Speaker 22: to the offense as far as blocking ability and everything else.

922
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:38,839
Speaker 22: So I just wanted your guys take on it, and uh,

923
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:43,000
Speaker 22: merry Christmas, Steve and merry Christmas. Brown. I really enjoy

924
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:43,439
Speaker 22: your show.

925
00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:46,280
Speaker 5: Thanks, thanks, Frank, appreciate it. Thanks for calling in too.

926
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:48,359
Speaker 5: Everybody I get I know you get this too. When

927
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:50,319
Speaker 5: we go out places, people say, hey, listen to the show,

928
00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:52,120
Speaker 5: love it. And I always the thing I always tells, hey,

929
00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 5: go ahead and call in. Don't be shy. We can

930
00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:57,600
Speaker 5: always hang up on you, you know. So uh no,

931
00:44:58,080 --> 00:45:01,319
Speaker 5: but uh yeah, I'm with you. I think I find

932
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:04,680
Speaker 5: Leonard Fournette very intriguing. I've seen the guy play, as

933
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:07,480
Speaker 5: we all have, and we've seen him now in the building.

934
00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:09,239
Speaker 5: He's in walking and he's getting ready to play, and

935
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:14,080
Speaker 5: he's yeah, the guy is you know, he's an absolute

936
00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:16,400
Speaker 5: monster with the ball in his hands. And I'll say this,

937
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:18,839
Speaker 5: I don't know that you know that they've I don't

938
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:21,279
Speaker 5: know what they promised him or told him, whether they say, hey,

939
00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:25,239
Speaker 5: just be ready, because you know, Latavius Murray, while he

940
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:27,640
Speaker 5: has played extremely well for the Bills and been really

941
00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:33,400
Speaker 5: solid and dependable. You know, he's thirty three, so maybe

942
00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:35,200
Speaker 5: he runs out of gas, or maybe he gets a

943
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:37,719
Speaker 5: tweak or whatever. And believe me, when I was at

944
00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:40,160
Speaker 5: age after playing in the league, as long as he has,

945
00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:42,200
Speaker 5: you know, you just don't bounce back fast enough. So

946
00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:45,279
Speaker 5: if they get into a push where they really need to,

947
00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:48,200
Speaker 5: you know, have be it hitting on all cylinders and

948
00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:51,879
Speaker 5: Murray is nicked up, or Ty Johnson gets nicked up,

949
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:59,000
Speaker 5: or heaven forbid, Cookie gets you know, nicked well, gosh,

950
00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:02,400
Speaker 5: this guy, you know, and I'll say this too, not

951
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:04,960
Speaker 5: for nothing. If I'm thinking trying to put myself in

952
00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:08,319
Speaker 5: Joe Brady and Sean McDermott shoes and.

953
00:46:08,360 --> 00:46:10,080
Speaker 4: Kelly Skipper and stuff.

954
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:15,640
Speaker 5: If Leonard Fournette gets on the field, you're gonna be

955
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:20,720
Speaker 5: feeding him the ball like like he's a starven animal.

956
00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:23,160
Speaker 5: I mean, just give him touches. I mean, because this

957
00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:26,520
Speaker 5: guy's is gonna be fresh. He's big as a house,

958
00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:29,919
Speaker 5: and he is fast. And he's also one of those

959
00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:32,439
Speaker 5: guys that I refer to all the time, brownie, who

960
00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:35,640
Speaker 5: everybody wants on their team because if there's a if

961
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:40,040
Speaker 5: there's a scuffle, he wants to be in it. You

962
00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:44,239
Speaker 5: need those guys that crave confrontation in the playoffs at

963
00:46:44,239 --> 00:46:44,560
Speaker 5: the end.

964
00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:45,000
Speaker 4: Of the year.

965
00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:47,920
Speaker 5: You're like, let's you know, He's like, yeah, let's go.

966
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:50,200
Speaker 5: You want some of that, Let's give me some. Let's go.

967
00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:53,560
Speaker 4: It's so I'm I'm kind of with Frank on this.

968
00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:55,799
Speaker 4: I'm waiting, but.

969
00:46:55,760 --> 00:46:57,480
Speaker 5: I don't want anything bad to happen to anybody. So

970
00:46:57,960 --> 00:46:59,400
Speaker 5: right now, let's face it. Right now, there ain't no

971
00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:00,960
Speaker 5: reason to switch out.

972
00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:04,479
Speaker 2: They're running the ball very well, as is number two.

973
00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:08,480
Speaker 3: I think what we started to witness last week was

974
00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:14,520
Speaker 3: Ty Johnson getting more opportunities behind James Cook than Latavius Murray.

975
00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:18,840
Speaker 3: He's about the same size as Latavius, and he offers

976
00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:24,200
Speaker 3: more explosion and power from a suddenness standpoint, I think

977
00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:27,160
Speaker 3: than Latavius. And that's no knocked on Latavious. He's good

978
00:47:27,160 --> 00:47:29,560
Speaker 3: in his own right with his own skill set. But

979
00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:34,919
Speaker 3: there's some explosiveness to Ty Johnson that's very intriguing and

980
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:37,239
Speaker 3: it's going to be very interesting to see how that

981
00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:40,880
Speaker 3: pecking order progresses through the last three games of the season.

982
00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:43,719
Speaker 3: Got to take a break here because in our number two,

983
00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:47,439

997
00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:11,080
Speaker 3: we saw you break it down on NFL Live earlier

998
00:49:11,120 --> 00:49:13,840
Speaker 3: this week, the hop the back move by the Bills,

999
00:49:14,200 --> 00:49:16,880
Speaker 3: and it worked to perfection. I guess the thing that

1000
00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:20,480
Speaker 3: shocked me the most was knowing how dangerous a player

1001
00:49:20,560 --> 00:49:22,960
Speaker 3: Micah Parsons is. I know you talked to us last

1002
00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:25,759
Speaker 3: week about how important it was to put him in conflict,

1003
00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:29,840
Speaker 3: and here they are they just leave him unblocked and

1004
00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:33,680
Speaker 3: run away from him. And I'm thinking, are you sure

1005
00:49:33,719 --> 00:49:35,800
Speaker 3: you can get away with that? Because the guy runs

1006
00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:36,840
Speaker 3: a four three nine?

1007
00:49:36,880 --> 00:49:37,600
Speaker 2: But it worked.

1008
00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:39,080
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1009
00:49:39,160 --> 00:49:40,839
Speaker 21: I mean, you couldn't get away with it if I

1010
00:49:40,960 --> 00:49:45,520
Speaker 21: was the quarterback, because you know, there's no threat of

1011
00:49:45,560 --> 00:49:49,080
Speaker 21: me being a potential runner or anybody in a lot

1012
00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:53,120
Speaker 21: of quarterbacks. But Josh's I think that they've shown the

1013
00:49:53,160 --> 00:49:55,080
Speaker 21: past couple of weeks to get back to doing that

1014
00:49:55,120 --> 00:49:57,879
Speaker 21: a little bit certainly helped. And then here's the thing

1015
00:49:57,880 --> 00:49:59,680
Speaker 21: when it comes because I actually had somebody text me

1016
00:49:59,680 --> 00:50:02,680
Speaker 21: about it yesterday and they said, what I don't understand

1017
00:50:02,719 --> 00:50:04,520
Speaker 21: is I watched the Lions try to do this to

1018
00:50:04,560 --> 00:50:08,359
Speaker 21: Max Crosby and and it was a disaster. You have

1019
00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:11,080
Speaker 21: to do it in the proper way. First of all,

1020
00:50:11,080 --> 00:50:13,080
Speaker 21: you have to you don't just line up.

1021
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:13,480
Speaker 11: And do it.

1022
00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:15,719
Speaker 21: You very rarely just line up and do it. You

1023
00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:19,200
Speaker 21: have to send different things at them and different looks

1024
00:50:19,239 --> 00:50:23,400
Speaker 21: at them and force them to think these unbelievable athletes.

1025
00:50:23,440 --> 00:50:26,440
Speaker 21: So while the hop to back certainly was part of

1026
00:50:26,520 --> 00:50:30,080
Speaker 21: the plan, that also changes the way that those defensive

1027
00:50:30,120 --> 00:50:34,160
Speaker 21: linemen think because if you're Mica and if he's to

1028
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:37,879
Speaker 21: Josh's right and the back is away from him. He's

1029
00:50:37,920 --> 00:50:41,560
Speaker 21: not necessarily thinking zone read his way at that moment.

1030
00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:44,520
Speaker 21: And then when you hop the back on the very

1031
00:50:44,560 --> 00:50:47,840
Speaker 21: last second, zone read then becomes a new thing that

1032
00:50:47,880 --> 00:50:50,080
Speaker 21: he has to think about. And so what are his

1033
00:50:50,239 --> 00:50:53,520
Speaker 21: rules given the defense for that potential zone read that

1034
00:50:53,560 --> 00:50:55,719
Speaker 21: he has to prepare for. So if he just lined up,

1035
00:50:55,760 --> 00:50:58,799
Speaker 21: saw it and say James was over there already, well

1036
00:50:58,840 --> 00:51:01,120
Speaker 21: Mike immediately goes, ok, I'm ready for his own read.

1037
00:51:01,560 --> 00:51:04,640
Speaker 21: But when it happened so late, that again puts it's

1038
00:51:04,640 --> 00:51:08,560
Speaker 21: not only conflict, it's doubt. It's confusion. It's making them

1039
00:51:08,600 --> 00:51:13,040
Speaker 21: play slow, and that's all attached to part of that. Again,

1040
00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:15,080
Speaker 21: you have to have the quarterback that has the ability

1041
00:51:15,120 --> 00:51:17,960
Speaker 21: to do something with it. Afterwards, I thought Josh did

1042
00:51:17,960 --> 00:51:20,120
Speaker 21: a nice job. Is sometimes like putting the ball in

1043
00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:22,720
Speaker 21: James's back and peeking over to the right and getting

1044
00:51:22,719 --> 00:51:25,319
Speaker 21: Mike at the drift that way. So it was a

1045
00:51:25,440 --> 00:51:28,960
Speaker 21: very clear plan. And not only that, you know they

1046
00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:31,880
Speaker 21: did the tackle traps that was really good, or the

1047
00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:34,160
Speaker 21: tackle pulls, but that's kind of what they've done all year,

1048
00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:37,480
Speaker 21: and I thought their pony twenty one good stuff was

1049
00:51:37,480 --> 00:51:39,319
Speaker 21: really really well prepared as well.

1050
00:51:39,719 --> 00:51:42,160
Speaker 5: So you get into this game and certainly, like like

1051
00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:44,560
Speaker 5: you've been describing, the plan has to be in place

1052
00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:45,080
Speaker 5: and all of that.

1053
00:51:45,120 --> 00:51:46,960
Speaker 4: But I don't think browniere.

1054
00:51:47,160 --> 00:51:49,120
Speaker 5: I thought the Bills would attempt to run on the

1055
00:51:49,160 --> 00:51:53,319
Speaker 5: Cowboys and see if they could bear up. But they

1056
00:51:53,400 --> 00:51:57,200
Speaker 5: absolutely manhandled the Cowboys front. The Bills offensive line was

1057
00:51:57,200 --> 00:52:01,000
Speaker 5: a massive flex all through the game, and they ran

1058
00:52:01,080 --> 00:52:07,080
Speaker 5: a ton of ball right at six defensive backs. I mean,

1059
00:52:07,120 --> 00:52:09,640
Speaker 5: they were playing dime all night. They refused to get

1060
00:52:09,680 --> 00:52:13,720
Speaker 5: out of it. So for all the x's and o's

1061
00:52:13,840 --> 00:52:17,480
Speaker 5: and all the strategy, they just pushed him out of

1062
00:52:17,520 --> 00:52:19,719
Speaker 5: the way. And I think that was a surprising to

1063
00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:20,480
Speaker 5: me as anything.

1064
00:52:21,760 --> 00:52:25,120
Speaker 21: Yeah, I think the three things that Steve outside of

1065
00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:28,240
Speaker 21: like those deep x's and o's, that I took away

1066
00:52:28,320 --> 00:52:30,600
Speaker 21: and I think Bill's fans should be fired up about

1067
00:52:30,640 --> 00:52:35,120
Speaker 21: is you know, last year, at this time I felt

1068
00:52:35,239 --> 00:52:37,840
Speaker 21: very confident that the flaw of the football team was

1069
00:52:37,880 --> 00:52:40,120
Speaker 21: the offensive line. I did not think it was going

1070
00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:42,080
Speaker 21: to be a unit that was going to be good

1071
00:52:42,160 --> 00:52:44,200
Speaker 21: enough to go into the playoffs and go on a run.

1072
00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:48,239
Speaker 21: And I don't feel that way this year. I think

1073
00:52:48,280 --> 00:52:51,560
Speaker 21: this offensive line has become a strength. It absolutely has,

1074
00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:54,320
Speaker 21: and I think that is such a good feeling.

1075
00:52:54,360 --> 00:52:54,480
Speaker 4: Now.

1076
00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:56,880
Speaker 21: Part of it, again is because the style of play

1077
00:52:56,920 --> 00:52:59,400
Speaker 21: that they're allowing these guys to play into. Instead of

1078
00:52:59,719 --> 00:53:03,400
Speaker 21: content being on their heels, there's the opportunity to impart

1079
00:53:03,440 --> 00:53:05,759
Speaker 21: their will on guys. I think that's step number one.

1080
00:53:06,280 --> 00:53:11,480
Speaker 21: Step number two is Joe Brady having the hardheadedness and

1081
00:53:11,520 --> 00:53:13,839
Speaker 21: the willingness to just continue to hand the ball off,

1082
00:53:14,440 --> 00:53:19,640
Speaker 21: you know, because so often really smart offensive coordinators that

1083
00:53:19,680 --> 00:53:24,360
Speaker 21: are really creative, that have a ton of perimeter talent

1084
00:53:24,400 --> 00:53:27,600
Speaker 21: and a quarterback like Josh, at some point they get

1085
00:53:27,600 --> 00:53:30,880
Speaker 21: in the way of themselves. Right now, I've run it

1086
00:53:30,880 --> 00:53:32,480
Speaker 21: three or four times in a row, Is this the

1087
00:53:32,560 --> 00:53:34,680
Speaker 21: time to go and try to take our shot or whatnot?

1088
00:53:34,719 --> 00:53:38,279
Speaker 21: And he just seemed to have the mindset of like,

1089
00:53:38,719 --> 00:53:41,520
Speaker 21: I don't have to overthink this and I show I

1090
00:53:41,560 --> 00:53:45,000
Speaker 21: think that shows tremendous discipline. And I think the last

1091
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:48,080
Speaker 21: part is and I always go back to this, sitting

1092
00:53:48,120 --> 00:53:51,200
Speaker 21: on that Monday night football game last year when they

1093
00:53:51,200 --> 00:53:54,640
Speaker 21: played Tennessee and Brandon being in the GM obviously sitting

1094
00:53:54,680 --> 00:53:56,640
Speaker 21: there saying, I got to make sure that I put

1095
00:53:56,760 --> 00:53:59,080
Speaker 21: enough people around Josh where he doesn't feel like he

1096
00:53:59,120 --> 00:54:02,520
Speaker 21: has to do it himself. You guys have been around

1097
00:54:02,719 --> 00:54:05,200
Speaker 21: a lot longer than I when it comes to Josh's

1098
00:54:05,320 --> 00:54:08,000
Speaker 21: Buffalo career, But this was one of those games, right

1099
00:54:09,040 --> 00:54:12,200
Speaker 21: I think for the first time felt, Oh, they don't

1100
00:54:12,239 --> 00:54:14,839
Speaker 21: need him to do it himself right now, And I

1101
00:54:14,880 --> 00:54:19,120
Speaker 21: think that is something that has got to be wildly encouraging.

1102
00:54:20,200 --> 00:54:23,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, on the flip side of it, Dan, you now

1103
00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:28,520
Speaker 3: have two number one scoring offenses that have come to

1104
00:54:28,560 --> 00:54:34,239
Speaker 3: Buffalo here week four against Miami last week Dallas and

1105
00:54:34,480 --> 00:54:39,080
Speaker 3: Sean McDermott, with two very different starting lineups due mainly

1106
00:54:39,120 --> 00:54:43,359
Speaker 3: to injury, has completely shut down both of those offenses.

1107
00:54:43,760 --> 00:54:47,760
Speaker 3: Twenty points allowed to Miami, ten points allowed to Dallas.

1108
00:54:48,480 --> 00:54:51,520
Speaker 3: And I know Tarren Johnsons was a focal point this

1109
00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:55,279
Speaker 3: week having most of those assignments on CD LAMB. But

1110
00:54:56,120 --> 00:54:59,759
Speaker 3: the takeaway we have about the Bills defense anyway, is

1111
00:54:59,800 --> 00:55:01,719
Speaker 3: that they're at a point now where it seems like

1112
00:55:01,800 --> 00:55:08,000
Speaker 3: they've successfully recalibrated after those season ending injuries to the

1113
00:55:08,120 --> 00:55:12,000
Speaker 3: likes of Daikwon Jones, Tredaevius White, and Matt Mulano.

1114
00:55:13,160 --> 00:55:16,520
Speaker 21: Take Away your strength, take away what you want to do, okay,

1115
00:55:16,560 --> 00:55:20,880
Speaker 21: I think in the word that stood out for me

1116
00:55:20,960 --> 00:55:23,160
Speaker 21: in this game was late. You know, if I go

1117
00:55:23,239 --> 00:55:27,000
Speaker 21: back to the Miami game and all their shifts and motions,

1118
00:55:27,440 --> 00:55:30,680
Speaker 21: they didn't overreact. They played in their two high shell

1119
00:55:31,440 --> 00:55:34,240
Speaker 21: and they just went to the spot of their drop,

1120
00:55:34,480 --> 00:55:37,960
Speaker 21: didn't pay attention to To his eyes, this game was

1121
00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:42,440
Speaker 21: about how late they could move so Dallas offensively, Dak

1122
00:55:42,719 --> 00:55:45,520
Speaker 21: is one of the best at the line of scrimmage quarterbacks.

1123
00:55:45,520 --> 00:55:47,600
Speaker 21: He wants to use cadence. He wants to figure out

1124
00:55:47,640 --> 00:55:49,279
Speaker 21: what you're in. He wants to know where to go

1125
00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:51,880
Speaker 21: with the football or get into a run check versus

1126
00:55:51,880 --> 00:55:54,920
Speaker 21: what your defense is doing. And there's like three or

1127
00:55:54,920 --> 00:55:56,880
Speaker 21: four examples I'm going to show them today an NFL

1128
00:55:56,920 --> 00:56:02,000
Speaker 21: Live where they moved so late where he has no

1129
00:56:02,440 --> 00:56:05,279
Speaker 21: chance to get them out of a bad play into

1130
00:56:05,320 --> 00:56:08,600
Speaker 21: a good one. One Tearn triggers off the edge tackle

1131
00:56:08,680 --> 00:56:12,240
Speaker 21: for loss equals a punt. One I think it's Taylor

1132
00:56:12,320 --> 00:56:15,080
Speaker 21: pressures off the edge, tackle for loss down in the

1133
00:56:15,120 --> 00:56:18,319
Speaker 21: red zone equals a field goal. Another one where they

1134
00:56:18,440 --> 00:56:21,359
Speaker 21: rotate super late from two high to one high. Dak

1135
00:56:21,440 --> 00:56:23,000
Speaker 21: doesn't know where to go with the football. And you

1136
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:25,279
Speaker 21: can see like he feels sped up because he's like

1137
00:56:25,520 --> 00:56:29,360
Speaker 21: his brain's telling him what I thought was happening isn't

1138
00:56:29,640 --> 00:56:31,600
Speaker 21: and he just takes a check down and Seedee Lamb's

1139
00:56:31,640 --> 00:56:34,919
Speaker 21: wide open on a deep, outbreaking route. And I think

1140
00:56:35,719 --> 00:56:38,759
Speaker 21: benefit of playing at home, but it's also the awareness

1141
00:56:38,760 --> 00:56:40,440
Speaker 21: of who Dallas is and who they want to be,

1142
00:56:40,719 --> 00:56:43,560
Speaker 21: and they played to that strength we've talked about.

1143
00:56:43,640 --> 00:56:47,360
Speaker 5: You know, it's still despite the game and the stretch

1144
00:56:47,400 --> 00:56:49,680
Speaker 5: here that the Bills offensive had with James Cook, it's still

1145
00:56:49,680 --> 00:56:53,279
Speaker 5: a throwing league. But one of the reasons, and I

1146
00:56:53,360 --> 00:56:55,840
Speaker 5: said this going into the game against Dallas, and the

1147
00:56:55,880 --> 00:56:59,000
Speaker 5: same thing is true with the Dolphins. Both these teams,

1148
00:56:59,040 --> 00:57:02,719
Speaker 5: those two teams play this week. Both those clubs seem

1149
00:57:02,800 --> 00:57:06,600
Speaker 5: to me as elite front runners. Man, they get out

1150
00:57:06,600 --> 00:57:09,480
Speaker 5: in front, you can't catch them. I mean, they're gonna score, score, score,

1151
00:57:09,480 --> 00:57:11,160
Speaker 5: and they don't take their foot off the gas.

1152
00:57:11,440 --> 00:57:13,200
Speaker 4: They love it, and that's where they thrive.

1153
00:57:13,880 --> 00:57:16,439
Speaker 5: The reason Buffalo was able to hand the ball off

1154
00:57:16,480 --> 00:57:19,800
Speaker 5: to James Cook somebody, they had fourteen point lead, I mean,

1155
00:57:19,840 --> 00:57:23,200
Speaker 5: they scored early, had some success and they weren't forced

1156
00:57:23,240 --> 00:57:27,920
Speaker 5: by Dak and Ceedee Lamb and Ferguson to throw the

1157
00:57:27,960 --> 00:57:28,680
Speaker 5: football to.

1158
00:57:28,720 --> 00:57:31,800
Speaker 4: Stay in it. How important, you know, I get it.

1159
00:57:31,800 --> 00:57:34,760
Speaker 5: It's the Northeast, and I don't want to overstate something

1160
00:57:34,800 --> 00:57:37,320
Speaker 5: that's kind of trite, but the weather's going to get

1161
00:57:37,360 --> 00:57:42,080
Speaker 5: bad everywhere, not just in Buffalo. And for Dallas on

1162
00:57:42,120 --> 00:57:45,400
Speaker 5: a team like Miami, both those things come into play,

1163
00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:48,600
Speaker 5: maybe not this week against each other. But Buffalo was

1164
00:57:48,640 --> 00:57:50,959
Speaker 5: able to hand it off because you know, it's easy

1165
00:57:50,960 --> 00:57:51,600
Speaker 5: when you're leading.

1166
00:57:53,040 --> 00:57:58,200
Speaker 21: Yeah, yeah, you steve that. Dallas is built to hunt.

1167
00:57:58,600 --> 00:58:01,280
Speaker 21: That's just what they and they're great at it. Yeah,

1168
00:58:01,320 --> 00:58:03,920
Speaker 21: they're great at it. And if you if you get

1169
00:58:03,760 --> 00:58:06,360
Speaker 21: let if you let them sit on first strike fastballs,

1170
00:58:06,800 --> 00:58:10,480
Speaker 21: ball's gonna go over defence a lot. But you gotta

1171
00:58:10,520 --> 00:58:13,160
Speaker 21: you gotta paint corners versus them. And that's kind of

1172
00:58:13,160 --> 00:58:16,080
Speaker 21: what Buffalo is capable of doing. And you know, I

1173
00:58:16,120 --> 00:58:19,680
Speaker 21: think it's specific to Miami Miami, you know, when it

1174
00:58:19,720 --> 00:58:24,000
Speaker 21: comes to their defense, Miami, Like, here's here's why I

1175
00:58:24,240 --> 00:58:27,040
Speaker 21: think Week eighteen, I think it's gonna come down to

1176
00:58:27,040 --> 00:58:30,400
Speaker 21: the division. I think it's a great matchup for Buffalo.

1177
00:58:30,680 --> 00:58:32,960
Speaker 21: I love Miami. I would say this if I was

1178
00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:37,600
Speaker 21: doing something with the Miami Dolphins, they're awesome. The way

1179
00:58:37,640 --> 00:58:41,080
Speaker 21: to attack their defenses to not throw at Jalen and Xavian,

1180
00:58:41,800 --> 00:58:44,960
Speaker 21: it's to throw to your tight ends and backs. Who

1181
00:58:45,080 --> 00:58:47,640
Speaker 21: seems to be having good tight ends and backs as

1182
00:58:47,640 --> 00:58:52,680
Speaker 21: Pats catchers Buffalo, So that that's a benefit because Buffalo

1183
00:58:52,800 --> 00:58:55,720
Speaker 21: all the Miami all they want to do is cover

1184
00:58:55,840 --> 00:58:59,120
Speaker 21: everybody and get sacks. They don't pressure you. It's not exotic,

1185
00:58:59,200 --> 00:59:03,120
Speaker 21: they're not. But if you're just playing completion driven football

1186
00:59:03,120 --> 00:59:05,600
Speaker 21: and you're creating matchups, that's hard to do. And then

1187
00:59:05,600 --> 00:59:08,600
Speaker 21: their offense, you know, when their offense doesn't get to

1188
00:59:11,360 --> 00:59:14,680
Speaker 21: you know, Miami's offense isn't all that different than Dallas,

1189
00:59:15,160 --> 00:59:17,240
Speaker 21: you know, with their check with Me's and Tua trying

1190
00:59:17,280 --> 00:59:20,080
Speaker 21: to get in and out of the right stuff. And

1191
00:59:20,160 --> 00:59:24,680
Speaker 21: if their game flow doesn't allow that tempo for them,

1192
00:59:24,880 --> 00:59:26,080
Speaker 21: that's when they bogged down.

1193
00:59:26,400 --> 00:59:30,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's talk Chargers here a little bit, Dan, because

1194
00:59:30,560 --> 00:59:33,240
Speaker 3: it's a team that I think it would be kind

1195
00:59:33,320 --> 00:59:35,760
Speaker 3: to say is in a state of flux here, you know,

1196
00:59:35,880 --> 00:59:40,360
Speaker 3: interim head coach, interim GM. I think they changed their

1197
00:59:40,760 --> 00:59:45,200
Speaker 3: one of their coordinators as well, and a backup quarterback

1198
00:59:45,200 --> 00:59:47,200
Speaker 3: in Easton stick with Herbert out for the year with

1199
00:59:47,240 --> 00:59:50,240
Speaker 3: the busted finger. They are coming off of Minie Buy.

1200
00:59:51,080 --> 00:59:53,920
Speaker 3: We all hear all the time about the interim coach bump.

1201
00:59:54,040 --> 00:59:55,880
Speaker 3: You know, the head coach lost his job. I don't

1202
00:59:55,920 --> 00:59:58,120
Speaker 3: want to be next. I'm putting good film out there

1203
00:59:58,160 --> 00:59:59,920
Speaker 3: so I have my job next season.

1204
01:00:00,280 --> 01:00:01,600
Speaker 2: I mean, that's what players think.

1205
01:00:02,800 --> 01:00:03,160
Speaker 4: I guess.

1206
01:00:03,160 --> 01:00:06,160
Speaker 3: First question, have you ever been through an interim coach

1207
01:00:06,240 --> 01:00:09,560
Speaker 3: situation in your playing days? And if so, what was

1208
01:00:09,600 --> 01:00:12,560
Speaker 3: that week like and did you see a bump in play?

1209
01:00:13,040 --> 01:00:18,360
Speaker 3: And then second, what should the Bills be most concerned

1210
01:00:18,400 --> 01:00:21,800
Speaker 3: about that The Chargers still have to offer out there,

1211
01:00:21,840 --> 01:00:23,120
Speaker 3: whether it's offense or defense.

1212
01:00:23,160 --> 01:00:24,000
Speaker 2: You can take your pick.

1213
01:00:25,440 --> 01:00:28,400
Speaker 21: Played for intern coaches probably too many times. That's because

1214
01:00:28,400 --> 01:00:32,240
Speaker 21: I was on bad teams. Never really saw a bump,

1215
01:00:32,480 --> 01:00:35,640
Speaker 21: you know, my rookie year, they fired Steve Mariucci on

1216
01:00:35,680 --> 01:00:40,120
Speaker 21: Thanksgiving weekend. I don't remember seeing a bump.

1217
01:00:40,840 --> 01:00:40,960
Speaker 14: Uh.

1218
01:00:43,120 --> 01:00:48,760
Speaker 21: Mid season they fired our play caller in Detroit. I

1219
01:00:48,800 --> 01:00:51,760
Speaker 21: saw a bump after a couple of games. I think

1220
01:00:51,760 --> 01:00:54,600
Speaker 21: it's this, you know, with the situation that's in LA.

1221
01:00:56,280 --> 01:00:58,840
Speaker 21: I think there's one thing that is the most important

1222
01:00:58,880 --> 01:01:01,480
Speaker 21: part for Buffalo. This you gotta jump on them early,

1223
01:01:01,640 --> 01:01:05,280
Speaker 21: like like the Raiders did. I'll never use the Q word.

1224
01:01:05,720 --> 01:01:09,320
Speaker 21: That's that has four letters in it. But it's hard

1225
01:01:09,360 --> 01:01:11,720
Speaker 21: to watch that game and that tape and and and

1226
01:01:11,760 --> 01:01:15,439
Speaker 21: not see that kind of start to seep its way out.

1227
01:01:16,160 --> 01:01:17,920
Speaker 21: And this is one of those games where you just

1228
01:01:18,040 --> 01:01:20,760
Speaker 21: jump on them and you you you get this team

1229
01:01:20,840 --> 01:01:25,080
Speaker 21: to you know, start thinking about vacation plans. Buffalo obviously

1230
01:01:25,160 --> 01:01:27,000
Speaker 21: has a bigger purpose to go and try and chase

1231
01:01:27,040 --> 01:01:30,880
Speaker 21: down So is there much to be concerned about here?

1232
01:01:30,880 --> 01:01:34,520
Speaker 21: Here's the thing. There's no vertical juice on their offense. None.

1233
01:01:34,640 --> 01:01:38,280
Speaker 21: I don't know if Keenan will play, Mike Williams obviously hurt,

1234
01:01:38,360 --> 01:01:42,560
Speaker 21: Quinton Johnston hasn't performed this year. There's no vertical speed.

1235
01:01:42,720 --> 01:01:45,840
Speaker 21: So you sit there and go, Okay, the ball is

1236
01:01:45,880 --> 01:01:48,840
Speaker 21: not gonna go over our heads. And then defensively, you know,

1237
01:01:48,960 --> 01:01:51,560
Speaker 21: really it's you could create a lot of blown coverages.

1238
01:01:51,600 --> 01:01:54,960
Speaker 21: They blow a lot of coverages in LA and I

1239
01:01:55,000 --> 01:01:57,200
Speaker 21: think Joe will take advantage of that. And I think

1240
01:01:57,320 --> 01:02:00,520
Speaker 21: I think they come out guns of blazing on Sunday Day.

1241
01:02:00,680 --> 01:02:02,120
Speaker 4: We had talked about that as well.

1242
01:02:02,200 --> 01:02:06,120
Speaker 5: I mean, it's important, I think for the Bills to yeah,

1243
01:02:06,200 --> 01:02:08,880
Speaker 5: come out fast and see if you can get them

1244
01:02:08,880 --> 01:02:14,760
Speaker 5: to go home early. But having said that, I went

1245
01:02:14,800 --> 01:02:16,840
Speaker 5: through all the layers of guys can can go through.

1246
01:02:16,880 --> 01:02:18,920
Speaker 5: When you got you're an interim coach, you're you know,

1247
01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:20,360
Speaker 5: you don't want to be the guy that. You don't

1248
01:02:20,360 --> 01:02:23,400
Speaker 5: want to be another guy out the door as a player, Uh,

1249
01:02:23,480 --> 01:02:24,840
Speaker 5: you don't want it to get out on film that

1250
01:02:24,880 --> 01:02:27,760
Speaker 5: you're the guy that quit. But then again, you play

1251
01:02:27,840 --> 01:02:32,920
Speaker 5: with a backup quarterback nobody knows about. There's plenty of

1252
01:02:34,360 --> 01:02:36,520
Speaker 5: blame to go around for what's wrong with Sandy with

1253
01:02:36,800 --> 01:02:40,040
Speaker 5: La Rather than just pointing at the at the corners

1254
01:02:40,160 --> 01:02:42,320
Speaker 5: or the safeties or whatever. There's a lot of things

1255
01:02:42,360 --> 01:02:46,080
Speaker 5: before you get down to that point of it. That

1256
01:02:46,240 --> 01:02:49,040
Speaker 5: is a tough, tough situation to be in as a player.

1257
01:02:49,080 --> 01:02:52,520
Speaker 5: And I've been on bad football teams as well. And

1258
01:02:52,600 --> 01:02:54,240
Speaker 5: I know, you know you just said you have to

1259
01:02:55,280 --> 01:02:58,240
Speaker 5: kind of give us some insight as to how these

1260
01:02:58,280 --> 01:03:00,480
Speaker 5: guys go through their week. I mean, I've got my

1261
01:03:00,480 --> 01:03:01,920
Speaker 5: own ideas, but I want to hear what you have

1262
01:03:01,960 --> 01:03:03,920
Speaker 5: to say about how tough it is in the end

1263
01:03:03,920 --> 01:03:05,440
Speaker 5: of a very very long season.

1264
01:03:06,760 --> 01:03:07,040
Speaker 12: Steve.

1265
01:03:07,080 --> 01:03:09,960
Speaker 21: I think it's really difficult when you're a younger player

1266
01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:13,760
Speaker 21: that hasn't hasn't made its money or its career. That's

1267
01:03:13,800 --> 01:03:16,120
Speaker 21: the truth. I think when you're an older player and

1268
01:03:16,160 --> 01:03:19,520
Speaker 21: the Chargers have a decent amount of them that have

1269
01:03:19,760 --> 01:03:22,240
Speaker 21: made their careers and made their money, and I don't

1270
01:03:22,280 --> 01:03:25,720
Speaker 21: think that those guys get to that point and start

1271
01:03:25,760 --> 01:03:28,800
Speaker 21: to freak out over about, uh, you know, where am

1272
01:03:28,840 --> 01:03:30,840
Speaker 21: I going to be next year. I'm trying to prove

1273
01:03:30,880 --> 01:03:34,000
Speaker 21: myself for whoever's here next year. Once you like in

1274
01:03:34,080 --> 01:03:37,880
Speaker 21: many ways, have made your career in your name and

1275
01:03:37,960 --> 01:03:41,200
Speaker 21: made your money, when you get into a situation like this,

1276
01:03:41,960 --> 01:03:45,080
Speaker 21: it's a little bit about, Okay, how much personal pride

1277
01:03:45,120 --> 01:03:47,960
Speaker 21: do I have? What do I view as my future?

1278
01:03:48,240 --> 01:03:51,440
Speaker 21: Am I willing to risk the potential of injury for

1279
01:03:51,520 --> 01:03:54,200
Speaker 21: that future? For these two or three games in a

1280
01:03:54,280 --> 01:03:56,919
Speaker 21: situation that, you know, is it one that I want

1281
01:03:56,920 --> 01:03:58,600
Speaker 21: to be a part of hasn't gone its way? And

1282
01:03:58,640 --> 01:03:59,720
Speaker 21: I don't know if I'm going to be a part

1283
01:03:59,760 --> 01:04:03,360
Speaker 21: of a future whereas a younger player, you're sitting there

1284
01:04:03,440 --> 01:04:07,880
Speaker 21: going I have no idea that this was the NFL,

1285
01:04:08,200 --> 01:04:10,200
Speaker 21: you know, for think about it. If you're a first

1286
01:04:10,320 --> 01:04:12,640
Speaker 21: or second year guy, your dream is to go be

1287
01:04:12,680 --> 01:04:14,920
Speaker 21: a part of the NFL. And and then you go

1288
01:04:15,480 --> 01:04:17,600
Speaker 21: and be a part of this. When your coach gets fired,

1289
01:04:17,640 --> 01:04:21,120
Speaker 21: you get sixty something or seventy points hung on you

1290
01:04:21,200 --> 01:04:24,480
Speaker 21: on national TV. You're just trying to figure out day

1291
01:04:24,520 --> 01:04:26,880
Speaker 21: to day you know, how to go, do about it,

1292
01:04:27,120 --> 01:04:30,320
Speaker 21: go about it the best way possible. And as much

1293
01:04:30,320 --> 01:04:33,680
Speaker 21: as you think about, you know, the now, you start

1294
01:04:33,720 --> 01:04:35,520
Speaker 21: to think about, oh my gosh, what's this mean for

1295
01:04:35,600 --> 01:04:36,200
Speaker 21: my career?

1296
01:04:36,720 --> 01:04:36,840
Speaker 12: Uh?

1297
01:04:37,320 --> 01:04:40,400
Speaker 21: You know, and and it's very difficult for a young

1298
01:04:40,440 --> 01:04:42,680
Speaker 21: player to try to put themselves in the situation of

1299
01:04:43,200 --> 01:04:46,360
Speaker 21: all right, I got three games left and they don't

1300
01:04:46,600 --> 01:04:49,040
Speaker 21: mean anything, but they matter a whole heck of a lot.

1301
01:04:49,120 --> 01:04:51,680
Speaker 21: It's almost like the preseason in many ways for young

1302
01:04:51,720 --> 01:04:52,840
Speaker 21: guys all over again.

1303
01:04:53,200 --> 01:04:55,520
Speaker 3: Before we let you go, Dan, just a quick scouting

1304
01:04:55,560 --> 01:04:58,920
Speaker 3: report if you could on Easton Stick. I realize he's

1305
01:04:58,960 --> 01:05:01,040
Speaker 3: only played a game and a hand here, but just

1306
01:05:01,120 --> 01:05:04,120
Speaker 3: your early impressions of what he has to offer or

1307
01:05:04,520 --> 01:05:06,760
Speaker 3: what Bill the Bill should be mindful of in terms

1308
01:05:06,760 --> 01:05:07,560
Speaker 3: of his skill set.

1309
01:05:08,640 --> 01:05:12,000
Speaker 21: Yeah, I think he's uh has some physical talent to

1310
01:05:12,040 --> 01:05:14,959
Speaker 21: hang around in the NFL. He's smart, he's he's gonna

1311
01:05:15,000 --> 01:05:16,680
Speaker 21: go to the football, go to the right place with

1312
01:05:16,720 --> 01:05:20,600
Speaker 21: the football. He's gonna know the coverages. Not overly aggressive,

1313
01:05:21,000 --> 01:05:23,320
Speaker 21: very risk averse, is not going to try to push

1314
01:05:23,320 --> 01:05:25,800
Speaker 21: the football down the field. We'll just try to get

1315
01:05:25,840 --> 01:05:28,919
Speaker 21: the ball out of his hands and make sure don't

1316
01:05:29,000 --> 01:05:33,640
Speaker 21: hurt the football team. Not great when it comes to

1317
01:05:33,720 --> 01:05:37,200
Speaker 21: pocket feel. You know that pass rush that has become

1318
01:05:37,200 --> 01:05:39,360
Speaker 21: one of the better third down pass rushes in the league.

1319
01:05:40,440 --> 01:05:42,520
Speaker 21: You can get him to start to hold the ball

1320
01:05:42,600 --> 01:05:44,560
Speaker 21: or bring his eyes down and try to avoid the

1321
01:05:44,680 --> 01:05:47,720
Speaker 21: rush instead of hanging in there and seeing things happen downfield. So,

1322
01:05:48,400 --> 01:05:50,760
Speaker 21: you know, I think this is a you know, as

1323
01:05:50,800 --> 01:05:54,120
Speaker 21: long as they continue to play sound on the defensive side,

1324
01:05:55,480 --> 01:05:57,720
Speaker 21: this defensive line has the chance on third down to

1325
01:05:57,760 --> 01:05:58,520
Speaker 21: create some havoc.

1326
01:05:59,280 --> 01:06:02,320
Speaker 5: Last one for me, then I know that we're kind

1327
01:06:02,320 --> 01:06:05,040
Speaker 5: of neck deep in the Buffalo Bills and what they've

1328
01:06:05,080 --> 01:06:06,720
Speaker 5: got to do to get in the playoffs. They're at

1329
01:06:06,760 --> 01:06:08,440
Speaker 5: the nine seed now, they're trying to get to the

1330
01:06:08,440 --> 01:06:10,200
Speaker 5: seventh seed, trying to get to the five seed, trying

1331
01:06:10,200 --> 01:06:13,400
Speaker 5: to win the division still with whatever happens to Miami.

1332
01:06:13,800 --> 01:06:15,560
Speaker 5: But there's a game happening this weekend. I want to

1333
01:06:15,560 --> 01:06:18,600
Speaker 5: get your take on it's the Baltimore and San Francisco game.

1334
01:06:18,640 --> 01:06:21,560
Speaker 5: To me, that's a game I would pay money to

1335
01:06:21,560 --> 01:06:24,160
Speaker 5: go see two teams that are playing at a high level.

1336
01:06:24,520 --> 01:06:27,320
Speaker 5: San Francisco playing at a high level and Baltimore with Lamar,

1337
01:06:27,480 --> 01:06:29,480
Speaker 5: who is to me, one of the most exciting football

1338
01:06:29,520 --> 01:06:34,320
Speaker 5: players maybe of all time. The guy's unbelievable. What are

1339
01:06:34,360 --> 01:06:36,240
Speaker 5: your thoughts on this game coming down what it means?

1340
01:06:36,280 --> 01:06:38,200
Speaker 5: And I mean, and you know what's again to the

1341
01:06:38,280 --> 01:06:39,600
Speaker 5: ripple effect coming around it?

1342
01:06:41,080 --> 01:06:47,680
Speaker 21: You're talking about the Baltimore game. Yes, I mean the

1343
01:06:47,760 --> 01:06:52,520
Speaker 21: Baltimore Ravens are so unique because I think you can

1344
01:06:52,560 --> 01:06:54,560
Speaker 21: make the case, at least for the majority of the season,

1345
01:06:54,920 --> 01:06:57,640
Speaker 21: they got the best coordinator combination in the NFL right now,

1346
01:06:58,000 --> 01:07:01,840
Speaker 21: Mike McDonald that defensive coordinator Monkt and offensive coordinator Steve

1347
01:07:02,400 --> 01:07:05,520
Speaker 21: I think the really unique thing about them is I

1348
01:07:05,520 --> 01:07:08,360
Speaker 21: don't necessarily have a beat on them, like I don't.

1349
01:07:09,040 --> 01:07:11,120
Speaker 21: I don't go into every game because they do so

1350
01:07:11,280 --> 01:07:13,720
Speaker 21: much so well, you know, like I go into San

1351
01:07:13,760 --> 01:07:16,280
Speaker 21: Francisco games and I know who they are are, and

1352
01:07:16,280 --> 01:07:19,440
Speaker 21: and I go into Miami Dolphin games and I know

1353
01:07:19,480 --> 01:07:21,000
Speaker 21: who they are and what they're gonna try to do,

1354
01:07:21,120 --> 01:07:24,160
Speaker 21: and you know, Baltimore just does so much stuff on

1355
01:07:24,240 --> 01:07:27,520
Speaker 21: both sides of the ball, but does it well. You know, Philadelphia,

1356
01:07:28,560 --> 01:07:30,960
Speaker 21: I don't know who they are and they don't do

1357
01:07:31,040 --> 01:07:33,560
Speaker 21: much well right now. Jacksonville's the same way. So I

1358
01:07:33,600 --> 01:07:37,200
Speaker 21: think Baltimore is so intriguing because just it's hard to

1359
01:07:37,200 --> 01:07:40,520
Speaker 21: get a beat on exactly who they are, and there's

1360
01:07:40,560 --> 01:07:43,240
Speaker 21: so much that you have to handle and so many

1361
01:07:43,240 --> 01:07:45,720
Speaker 21: people that you have to handle. So they're a really

1362
01:07:45,720 --> 01:07:47,640
Speaker 21: interesting team right now. The only thing that I think

1363
01:07:47,640 --> 01:07:51,440
Speaker 21: could catch them up, Steve is this, there's moments of

1364
01:07:51,480 --> 01:07:56,160
Speaker 21: sloppy play there is, and it's a little stylistic. You know,

1365
01:07:56,240 --> 01:08:01,520
Speaker 21: Lamar is so creativit creative centric and it's unbelievable. But

1366
01:08:01,600 --> 01:08:05,800
Speaker 21: there are moments offensively where there's just sloppy play. Is

1367
01:08:05,840 --> 01:08:08,440
Speaker 21: that going to be the thing that catches them? That's

1368
01:08:08,840 --> 01:08:11,680
Speaker 21: like the reason why I get just a part of

1369
01:08:11,720 --> 01:08:15,600
Speaker 21: me just hesitates a ton on putting all my money

1370
01:08:15,640 --> 01:08:16,720
Speaker 21: on Baltimore type of thing.

1371
01:08:17,439 --> 01:08:19,640
Speaker 3: Dan, thanks as always for the time. We'll catch up

1372
01:08:19,640 --> 01:08:21,320
Speaker 3: with you next week and take care of that.

1373
01:08:21,320 --> 01:08:24,559
Speaker 21: Cold, all right, Thanks guys, Merry Christmas, I wish it

1374
01:08:24,600 --> 01:08:25,040
Speaker 21: was a cold.

1375
01:08:25,120 --> 01:08:25,320
Speaker 14: Yeah.

1376
01:08:25,439 --> 01:08:26,280
Speaker 2: Herd Christmas to you.

1377
01:08:26,880 --> 01:08:29,639
Speaker 3: That's Dan Orlowski joining us as he does every week

Speaker 3: addressing the media at the post practice podium. We'll hear

1381
01:08:39,000 --> 01:08:40,800
Speaker 3: what he has to say about this upcoming game against

1382
01:08:40,840 --> 01:08:43,280
Speaker 3: the Chargers when we return here on one Bill's Live.

1383
01:08:43,320 --> 01:08:44,160

Speaker 2: All right back here on one Bill's Live on a Tuesday.

1385
01:08:54,640 --> 01:08:57,360
Speaker 3: Bill's had a walk through practice today on this shortened

1386
01:08:57,400 --> 01:09:00,599
Speaker 3: practice week with the game being on Saturday night in La,

1387
01:09:00,800 --> 01:09:05,080
Speaker 3: travel day being Friday. They are done and players are

1388
01:09:05,240 --> 01:09:10,280
Speaker 3: addressing the media post practice. First up, Bill's quarterback Josh Allen.

1389
01:09:10,880 --> 01:09:12,680
Speaker 21: I need carry over what you're able to do in

1390
01:09:12,680 --> 01:09:14,439
Speaker 21: the last couple of weeks and they keep this great.

1391
01:09:15,280 --> 01:09:17,960
Speaker 24: Yeah, just continue to have the same mindset, trusting each other,

1392
01:09:18,040 --> 01:09:22,200
Speaker 24: having a good week of practice, putting as much effort

1393
01:09:22,240 --> 01:09:25,280
Speaker 24: into preparation as we can. And you know it's gonna

1394
01:09:25,320 --> 01:09:27,920
Speaker 24: take all three phases again this next game.

1395
01:09:28,960 --> 01:09:30,960
Speaker 12: But again, Saturday Night's the only thing on our mind

1396
01:09:31,000 --> 01:09:32,960
Speaker 12: right now. Coach can't really look at the.

1397
01:09:32,960 --> 01:09:34,559
Speaker 19: Stand games and things like that, because you know what

1398
01:09:34,600 --> 01:09:36,599
Speaker 19: you're up cancer it's just about you guys winning at

1399
01:09:36,600 --> 01:09:36,920
Speaker 19: this point.

1400
01:09:37,520 --> 01:09:40,120
Speaker 24: Yeah, that's what it comes down to, you know, and

1401
01:09:41,560 --> 01:09:43,160
Speaker 24: again just trusting the guys in this locker room. I

1402
01:09:43,200 --> 01:09:46,519
Speaker 24: feel like it's a situation we've been in before and

1403
01:09:46,640 --> 01:09:49,719
Speaker 24: just using that previous experience that we have to carry

1404
01:09:49,800 --> 01:09:50,080
Speaker 24: us over.

1405
01:09:50,560 --> 01:09:53,160
Speaker 20: Coach talked about, you know, focusing it off at the

1406
01:09:53,160 --> 01:09:55,000
Speaker 20: task of hand. It's always the leak of the leak, right,

1407
01:09:55,040 --> 01:09:57,479
Speaker 20: But this point of time in the season, you know,

1408
01:09:57,760 --> 01:09:59,280
Speaker 20: got to bring you a game because the B game

1409
01:09:59,280 --> 01:10:01,880
Speaker 20: ain't good enough. So what do you think are some

1410
01:10:02,000 --> 01:10:05,160
Speaker 20: of the requirements of having that certain type of focus.

1411
01:10:05,520 --> 01:10:08,080
Speaker 24: Yeah, I mean I think again number one is practice,

1412
01:10:08,400 --> 01:10:11,760
Speaker 24: making sure that we're we're straining and taking care of

1413
01:10:11,840 --> 01:10:15,479
Speaker 24: all the small details that sometimes get overlooked. That's the

1414
01:10:15,479 --> 01:10:17,599
Speaker 24: fundamentals of the game, you know. That's that's something Coach

1415
01:10:17,640 --> 01:10:23,120
Speaker 24: McDermott preaches all the time, is fundamentals, mob security, and mentality.

1416
01:10:23,200 --> 01:10:24,600
Speaker 24: So I think that all kind of wraps up in

1417
01:10:24,640 --> 01:10:27,680
Speaker 24: the same category for me, and I think a lot

1418
01:10:27,680 --> 01:10:30,280
Speaker 24: of guys would feel the same way about that. But again,

1419
01:10:30,360 --> 01:10:31,840
Speaker 24: just lean into the experience that we have.

1420
01:10:32,200 --> 01:10:34,960
Speaker 16: What is having a game, you know, most recently like

1421
01:10:35,000 --> 01:10:38,360
Speaker 16: the Dallas kind of the all around dominating performance. To

1422
01:10:38,439 --> 01:10:41,080
Speaker 16: have that to maybe build on going down the stretch.

1423
01:10:41,120 --> 01:10:42,880
Speaker 16: I know you've been through this before, but that has

1424
01:10:42,920 --> 01:10:44,639
Speaker 16: to validate a lot of what.

1425
01:10:44,640 --> 01:10:45,360
Speaker 11: We're talking about.

1426
01:10:45,560 --> 01:10:49,640
Speaker 24: Yeah, I mean, I think you talk about December and

1427
01:10:49,720 --> 01:10:53,240
Speaker 24: January football games, weather, it could be could be a

1428
01:10:53,240 --> 01:10:55,679
Speaker 24: part of that equation and to go out there and

1429
01:10:55,680 --> 01:10:59,200
Speaker 24: and trust the run game and trust our offensive lineman

1430
01:10:59,280 --> 01:11:00,680
Speaker 24: up front to go get a job done. And they

1431
01:11:00,680 --> 01:11:02,760
Speaker 24: did it so well this last game. And you know,

1432
01:11:02,840 --> 01:11:05,519
Speaker 24: that wasn't a that was a really good interior that

1433
01:11:05,560 --> 01:11:08,360
Speaker 24: we faced. You know, so credit to our guys for

1434
01:11:08,360 --> 01:11:10,400
Speaker 24: for working hard and communicating well and going out there

1435
01:11:10,400 --> 01:11:13,800
Speaker 24: and executing. But you know, not many teams I think

1436
01:11:13,840 --> 01:11:18,360
Speaker 24: could can change your game plan like that midway through

1437
01:11:18,360 --> 01:11:21,280
Speaker 24: a game and just attack the run. You know, something

1438
01:11:21,280 --> 01:11:23,240
Speaker 24: that was good to see from our guys, and you know,

1439
01:11:23,280 --> 01:11:25,519
Speaker 24: it was good to see Joe just continuing to calling it.

1440
01:11:27,000 --> 01:11:29,320
Speaker 12: And that's something we're gonna need down the stretch. Gotchaallenge

1441
01:11:29,520 --> 01:11:30,080
Speaker 12: you guys should.

1442
01:11:32,520 --> 01:11:36,000
Speaker 24: Yeah, he's he's still one of the more premier pass

1443
01:11:36,080 --> 01:11:39,320
Speaker 24: rushlers in this league. You know, he's got fifteen I

1444
01:11:39,320 --> 01:11:43,200
Speaker 24: think on the year. A guy that can be extremely dominant.

1445
01:11:43,439 --> 01:11:45,559
Speaker 24: You know, he played at UB so I think there's

1446
01:11:45,600 --> 01:11:49,439
Speaker 24: some probably extra motivation going against the Bills. And you know,

1447
01:11:49,479 --> 01:11:51,280
Speaker 24: he's a he's a fantastic player. But they got some

1448
01:11:51,320 --> 01:11:53,880
Speaker 24: other guys on that defense too that fly around, that

1449
01:11:53,920 --> 01:11:57,000
Speaker 24: can make some plays. And you know, I couldn't tell

1450
01:11:57,000 --> 01:11:59,080
Speaker 24: you what's going on in their minds right now with

1451
01:11:59,080 --> 01:12:01,639
Speaker 24: with coaching change and this and that, but I can

1452
01:12:01,640 --> 01:12:02,960
Speaker 24: tell you one thing that they're going to be ready

1453
01:12:03,000 --> 01:12:04,960
Speaker 24: to play come Saturday night. So we had to put

1454
01:12:05,000 --> 01:12:07,719
Speaker 24: on our game face and prepare to play a sixty

1455
01:12:07,800 --> 01:12:08,320
Speaker 24: minute battle.

1456
01:12:08,400 --> 01:12:10,439
Speaker 7: If you talk about giving Joe credit to keep going

1457
01:12:10,479 --> 01:12:12,360
Speaker 7: to the run, but when things start rolling like that,

1458
01:12:13,320 --> 01:12:15,800
Speaker 7: your communication with Joe, do you get on the headset

1459
01:12:15,840 --> 01:12:18,520
Speaker 7: at all and say like, hey, keep feeding Jimbo.

1460
01:12:18,360 --> 01:12:19,559
Speaker 12: Like this is working.

1461
01:12:19,840 --> 01:12:21,800
Speaker 24: Well, yeah, I think it was at halftime. Just hey,

1462
01:12:21,840 --> 01:12:24,439
Speaker 24: just keep keep going it. And you know, credit to

1463
01:12:24,479 --> 01:12:28,120
Speaker 24: our offensive assistant coaches on there too for like trying

1464
01:12:28,120 --> 01:12:32,439
Speaker 24: to keep going a seat because you know, coordinators they

1465
01:12:32,520 --> 01:12:34,040
Speaker 24: want to throw the ball too. Don't don't get to

1466
01:12:34,080 --> 01:12:35,639
Speaker 24: this and you want to be able to be balanced

1467
01:12:35,680 --> 01:12:39,439
Speaker 24: and throwing some wrinkles and have the splash plays but again,

1468
01:12:39,479 --> 01:12:43,679
Speaker 24: when something's working so well, to go away from it,

1469
01:12:43,680 --> 01:12:45,240
Speaker 24: it's very hard to do and it's probably not the

1470
01:12:45,280 --> 01:12:47,360
Speaker 24: smart thing to do. So again, kudos to him and

1471
01:12:47,360 --> 01:12:49,600
Speaker 24: our staff are just trusting the guys at front and

1472
01:12:49,640 --> 01:12:52,599
Speaker 24: trusting Jimbo and in our run game and just continuing

1473
01:12:52,640 --> 01:12:53,160
Speaker 24: to attack it.

1474
01:12:53,479 --> 01:12:54,040
Speaker 12: Leader on this.

1475
01:12:54,040 --> 01:12:56,800
Speaker 7: Offense, say, do you get a say on which offensive

1476
01:12:56,800 --> 01:12:59,320
Speaker 7: lineman gets a spike after a big touchdown?

1477
01:12:59,439 --> 01:13:01,280
Speaker 21: Or is that by committee?

1478
01:13:01,920 --> 01:13:04,880
Speaker 24: It's large and part of whatever one's down there when

1479
01:13:04,920 --> 01:13:08,040
Speaker 24: you score. But Dion, I think the previous or two

1480
01:13:08,040 --> 01:13:11,640
Speaker 24: plays before that had that big pancake block and I

1481
01:13:11,720 --> 01:13:13,080
Speaker 24: got off and I looked for him and he happen

1482
01:13:13,080 --> 01:13:16,120
Speaker 24: to be right there. So we try to practice that

1483
01:13:16,200 --> 01:13:19,040
Speaker 24: and get everybody a spike. Mitch doesn't typically like to

1484
01:13:19,080 --> 01:13:21,519
Speaker 24: spec the ball, you know, He's just like high five

1485
01:13:21,560 --> 01:13:22,720
Speaker 24: and get me off this field and then we go

1486
01:13:22,760 --> 01:13:26,759
Speaker 24: sit down. But we'll get him one this week.

1487
01:13:27,360 --> 01:13:29,800
Speaker 21: Do you owe Kyle Allen anything for helping you out

1488
01:13:29,800 --> 01:13:30,479
Speaker 21: with the wristband?

1489
01:13:30,840 --> 01:13:33,760
Speaker 24: Yeah, yeah, that's I don't I don't know if you

1490
01:13:33,840 --> 01:13:36,200
Speaker 24: saw the video stuck to my shirt on the back,

1491
01:13:37,040 --> 01:13:39,680
Speaker 24: I was running and somehow got ripped off and I

1492
01:13:40,040 --> 01:13:41,560
Speaker 24: got up and I couldn't find it anywhere. I just

1493
01:13:41,600 --> 01:13:43,360
Speaker 24: assumed that one of the Cowboys guys picked it up

1494
01:13:43,400 --> 01:13:45,920
Speaker 24: and threw it to their sideline, because that's what defenders

1495
01:13:45,960 --> 01:13:48,880
Speaker 24: will typically do. The next play, I felt something like

1496
01:13:49,479 --> 01:13:51,160
Speaker 24: hitting my little back and I'm like, what the heck

1497
01:13:51,240 --> 01:13:53,679
Speaker 24: is that? And I ripped it off my shirt and yeah,

1498
01:13:53,720 --> 01:13:55,559
Speaker 24: but Kyle was ready. He was a tent And that's

1499
01:13:55,760 --> 01:13:57,880
Speaker 24: it's a good sign of a number two right there.

1500
01:13:58,960 --> 01:14:03,240
Speaker 12: Why you guys watch that film? What's it like in

1501
01:14:04,479 --> 01:14:06,880
Speaker 12: all right? Yeah, he guess the juice is flowing. I'll

1502
01:14:06,880 --> 01:14:07,200
Speaker 12: tell you that.

1503
01:14:07,360 --> 01:14:08,840
Speaker 24: A lot of a lot of guys left seeing that.

1504
01:14:12,520 --> 01:14:17,599
Speaker 24: It's it's one of the more fun plays I think

1505
01:14:17,600 --> 01:14:19,320
Speaker 24: I've ever watched. That's a run play. I mean, for

1506
01:14:19,400 --> 01:14:22,639
Speaker 24: him to go do that twenty plus yards downfield, right

1507
01:14:22,680 --> 01:14:25,800
Speaker 24: at the goal line. Yeah, and watching it back on tape,

1508
01:14:25,920 --> 01:14:27,519
Speaker 24: watching it live was awesome because I was kind of

1509
01:14:27,560 --> 01:14:29,439
Speaker 24: right there, was like the first guy there watching it

1510
01:14:29,439 --> 01:14:29,840
Speaker 24: on tape.

1511
01:14:30,280 --> 01:14:31,080
Speaker 12: Just as good too.

1512
01:14:32,520 --> 01:14:33,320
Speaker 11: Of a receiver.

1513
01:14:33,560 --> 01:14:35,560
Speaker 21: Is that something that he's improved this here and he

1514
01:14:35,680 --> 01:14:36,320
Speaker 21: gained more trusted?

1515
01:14:36,479 --> 01:14:37,920
Speaker 12: Is there anything specifically.

1516
01:14:37,439 --> 01:14:41,320
Speaker 24: He's gone, He's he's worked extremely hard, you know on

1517
01:14:41,360 --> 01:14:46,519
Speaker 24: the jugs, machines before and after practice, running routes in practice,

1518
01:14:46,520 --> 01:14:48,559
Speaker 24: making sure that we're getting a lot of reps on those.

1519
01:14:49,760 --> 01:14:52,120
Speaker 24: But again, just trusting his ability to go out there

1520
01:14:52,120 --> 01:14:54,160
Speaker 24: and make some plays. And he's been providing for us,

1521
01:14:54,160 --> 01:14:56,120
Speaker 24: and you know we're gonna continue to go back to him.

1522
01:14:56,120 --> 01:14:57,479
Speaker 12: That's that's what you know.

1523
01:14:57,560 --> 01:15:01,799
Speaker 24: Coach Brady talks about the the greatest measure of success

1524
01:15:01,880 --> 01:15:04,280
Speaker 24: is the opportunity to do more. And he's gotten the

1525
01:15:04,280 --> 01:15:06,680
Speaker 24: opportunity to do more because again he's been doing his

1526
01:15:06,800 --> 01:15:11,040
Speaker 24: job and making some some unbelievable plays. And that caps

1527
01:15:11,080 --> 01:15:12,600
Speaker 24: that he made in the end zone, that's that's not

1528
01:15:12,640 --> 01:15:14,320
Speaker 24: an easy catch. You can ask any receiver. That's a

1529
01:15:14,360 --> 01:15:17,120
Speaker 24: tough one ball. The nose of the ball is going

1530
01:15:17,160 --> 01:15:18,840
Speaker 24: down and away from you and to stick out your

1531
01:15:18,840 --> 01:15:20,519
Speaker 24: hands and catch it with your hands, it's not easy

1532
01:15:20,560 --> 01:15:20,800
Speaker 24: to do.

1533
01:15:20,880 --> 01:15:22,400
Speaker 12: So credit to him on that one.

1534
01:15:22,520 --> 01:15:24,880
Speaker 21: Oh Ie. Not usually group that gets some love to shine,

1535
01:15:24,920 --> 01:15:27,439
Speaker 21: but say the way this group has been successful, especially

1536
01:15:27,439 --> 01:15:29,240
Speaker 21: if office last game, what is it like to see

1537
01:15:29,240 --> 01:15:30,160
Speaker 21: that group altogether?

1538
01:15:30,280 --> 01:15:34,960
Speaker 24: Seems that's awesome. You know, they they they work extremely hard.

1539
01:15:35,040 --> 01:15:37,400
Speaker 24: I got a lot of love for those guys and

1540
01:15:37,479 --> 01:15:40,240
Speaker 24: I've been here with Mitch for quite some time now,

1541
01:15:40,280 --> 01:15:43,320
Speaker 24: and in terms of just collective group, it's it's the

1542
01:15:43,320 --> 01:15:47,120
Speaker 24: best I've ever been around. Guys care about each other.

1543
01:15:47,160 --> 01:15:50,080
Speaker 24: They work hard to communicate well, and you're starting to

1544
01:15:50,120 --> 01:15:52,040
Speaker 24: see that payoff during games. But I mean, I've been

1545
01:15:52,040 --> 01:15:54,920
Speaker 24: seeing it all year and they haven't gotten nearly enough

1546
01:15:54,920 --> 01:15:58,479
Speaker 24: credit they deserve, and again down the stretch here that

1547
01:15:58,479 --> 01:16:00,800
Speaker 24: we're gonna need to ride them and rely on them,

1548
01:16:00,840 --> 01:16:01,759
Speaker 24: and they're.

1549
01:16:01,600 --> 01:16:06,560
Speaker 12: Up for the task. Thee Christmas, Yeah, it's.

1550
01:16:06,600 --> 01:16:09,880
Speaker 24: It's getting a little crazy now, So I gotta I

1551
01:16:09,960 --> 01:16:12,000
Speaker 24: think I started off too strong. I think I should

1552
01:16:12,000 --> 01:16:14,360
Speaker 24: have continued to casually build my way up.

1553
01:16:14,400 --> 01:16:17,759
Speaker 6: But they deserve it, Josh on and off the field,

1554
01:16:17,800 --> 01:16:20,240
Speaker 6: what is Dion Dawkins meant to this team this season?

1555
01:16:20,240 --> 01:16:24,479
Speaker 24: He's playing out Yeah, mindset, mentality wise, it's it's the

1556
01:16:24,520 --> 01:16:28,439
Speaker 24: best he's ever had. You know, the ways that he

1557
01:16:28,479 --> 01:16:30,960
Speaker 24: takes care of his body, you know, the transition that

1558
01:16:30,960 --> 01:16:33,240
Speaker 24: he's done over the last year and a half mentally

1559
01:16:33,840 --> 01:16:36,840
Speaker 24: is unbelievable. I got a lot of love with for him,

1560
01:16:36,880 --> 01:16:39,400
Speaker 24: a lot of respect for him, because that's not easy

1561
01:16:39,439 --> 01:16:41,799
Speaker 24: to do, especially being kind of deep into your career.

1562
01:16:42,080 --> 01:16:45,400
Speaker 24: Uh to kind of change your entire process, and he's

1563
01:16:45,439 --> 01:16:48,519
Speaker 24: done it. It's been working out for him. And again

1564
01:16:48,600 --> 01:16:50,840
Speaker 24: he's the Walter Payton Man of the Year for us.

1565
01:16:51,400 --> 01:16:53,439
Speaker 24: So in terms of off the field, just making sure

1566
01:16:53,479 --> 01:16:55,880
Speaker 24: that you know he I mean, he's doing everything right.

1567
01:16:57,360 --> 01:17:02,360
Speaker 24: His attention to details outstanding and uh again he's having

1568
01:17:02,360 --> 01:17:03,920
Speaker 24: the best year of his career because of that.

1569
01:17:03,960 --> 01:17:06,120
Speaker 12: And love the guy, Josh.

1570
01:17:06,200 --> 01:17:08,200
Speaker 20: How humbling is it to know that as good as

1571
01:17:08,200 --> 01:17:11,639
Speaker 20: this team is, your knife in the AFC, How hungry

1572
01:17:11,720 --> 01:17:12,559
Speaker 20: does that make you get.

1573
01:17:12,400 --> 01:17:13,040
Speaker 12: Where you need to do?

1574
01:17:15,840 --> 01:17:18,320
Speaker 24: Yeah, I mean that part does suck, don't don't get

1575
01:17:18,360 --> 01:17:20,840
Speaker 24: me wrong, But again we're not we're not paying much

1576
01:17:20,840 --> 01:17:23,120
Speaker 24: attention to that. You know, we gotta we gotta control

1577
01:17:23,160 --> 01:17:28,080
Speaker 24: what we can control, and that's Saturday night against the Chargers.

1578
01:17:27,200 --> 01:17:30,160
Speaker 7: Coming off two big wins, still understanding what's ahead. Do

1579
01:17:30,240 --> 01:17:33,679
Speaker 7: you still feel like this is a team that plays desperate?

1580
01:17:33,840 --> 01:17:35,680
Speaker 7: Still feel like guts backs, you're still against the.

1581
01:17:35,640 --> 01:17:37,960
Speaker 24: Wall absolutely every every game from here on now, it's

1582
01:17:37,960 --> 01:17:39,920
Speaker 24: a playoff game for us. That's the mentality that we have.

1583
01:17:40,040 --> 01:17:44,920
Speaker 24: It's essentially winner go home. So again, we we got

1584
01:17:45,040 --> 01:17:47,639
Speaker 24: to be prepared for every every punch that the Chargers

1585
01:17:47,640 --> 01:17:49,879
Speaker 24: can throw at us and and be able to respond

1586
01:17:49,880 --> 01:17:51,479
Speaker 24: and adjust accordingly in game.

1587
01:17:53,800 --> 01:17:55,080
Speaker 12: So yeah, we gotta we gotta be ready.

1588
01:17:57,200 --> 01:17:57,519
Speaker 4: All right.

1589
01:17:57,560 --> 01:18:01,000
Speaker 3: That's Josh Allen addressing the media. Steve, We've just have

1590
01:18:01,160 --> 01:18:04,439
Speaker 3: one little thing here that I saw on social It's

1591
01:18:04,479 --> 01:18:09,320
Speaker 3: a little analytics metric and it projects the relevancy of

1592
01:18:09,439 --> 01:18:14,080
Speaker 3: week eighteen based on the first fifteen weeks and the

1593
01:18:14,120 --> 01:18:18,559
Speaker 3: subsequent results from those games. So it says, using results

1594
01:18:18,600 --> 01:18:22,320
Speaker 3: through week fifteen, here is the probability that each team

1595
01:18:22,360 --> 01:18:26,960
Speaker 3: will be playing for seating or playoffs, meaning not locked

1596
01:18:26,960 --> 01:18:32,559
Speaker 3: into their current playoff spot or not mathematically eliminated entering

1597
01:18:32,600 --> 01:18:35,920
Speaker 3: week eighteen. The game at the top of the board,

1598
01:18:36,680 --> 01:18:40,320
Speaker 3: Buffalo at Miami, has an eighty seven percent chance, based

1599
01:18:40,360 --> 01:18:45,439
Speaker 3: on their simulations, to have both teams still playing for

1600
01:18:45,600 --> 01:18:49,720
Speaker 3: something entering the final week of the season. Should we

1601
01:18:49,920 --> 01:18:51,479
Speaker 3: just lock them into Sunday Night?

1602
01:18:51,600 --> 01:18:53,439
Speaker 4: Now, I don't know. I don't They won't.

1603
01:18:53,479 --> 01:18:57,559
Speaker 5: They'll probably go on Saturday because if they go on Sunday,

1604
01:18:57,640 --> 01:19:00,600
Speaker 5: there are gonna be some games that will affect the

1605
01:19:00,680 --> 01:19:04,639
Speaker 5: meaning of their game. Okay, So like if prime time, right,

1606
01:19:05,320 --> 01:19:07,360
Speaker 5: it's a prime time yes, I would think are the

1607
01:19:07,360 --> 01:19:09,160
Speaker 5: four thirty game, if there's a if there's a triple

1608
01:19:09,160 --> 01:19:11,160
Speaker 5: header on Saturday, they may be that fourth or whatever

1609
01:19:11,200 --> 01:19:14,000
Speaker 5: it is. They don't want, like say, the Baltimore game,

1610
01:19:14,080 --> 01:19:16,360
Speaker 5: to happen before the Bills Miami game, because if Baltimore

1611
01:19:16,360 --> 01:19:18,240
Speaker 5: wins and they get the one seed locked up, right,

1612
01:19:18,960 --> 01:19:22,880
Speaker 5: if that, if that, Baltimore goes into their game thinking, well,

1613
01:19:22,920 --> 01:19:25,160
Speaker 5: if we lose, Miami gets them, or Buffalo gets the

1614
01:19:25,160 --> 01:19:27,200
Speaker 5: one seed or the two seed or whatever it is

1615
01:19:27,800 --> 01:19:31,320
Speaker 5: we got, we gotta go. So I think that that

1616
01:19:31,520 --> 01:19:36,040
Speaker 5: Bills Miami game will probably happen early as they can make.

1617
01:19:35,920 --> 01:19:39,160
Speaker 3: It, because Saturday instead of Sunday, because that's an interesting look.

1618
01:19:39,080 --> 01:19:42,000
Speaker 5: Because it will be affected by other outcome, you know,

1619
01:19:42,080 --> 01:19:44,880
Speaker 5: like Houston, Cleveland, Indianapolis, all those teams that have been

1620
01:19:44,880 --> 01:19:47,800
Speaker 5: ahead of Buffalo that are gonna be right there, Jacksonville,

1621
01:19:47,800 --> 01:19:51,719
Speaker 5: eleveland right, They're all gonna be right there. So Buffalo

1622
01:19:52,960 --> 01:19:56,559
Speaker 5: might be greatly affected plus or minus by those games.

1623
01:19:56,600 --> 01:19:59,479
Speaker 5: So they'll play Buffalo first against Miami.

1624
01:19:59,520 --> 01:20:00,840
Speaker 2: I don't know if I completely.

1625
01:20:01,240 --> 01:20:04,639
Speaker 3: I think if the division is in play for each

1626
01:20:04,680 --> 01:20:06,400
Speaker 3: of those teams, I think it goes to Sunday night

1627
01:20:06,439 --> 01:20:10,360
Speaker 3: football because if the division is in play. Whatever else

1628
01:20:10,400 --> 01:20:12,000
Speaker 3: happens doesn't matter.

1629
01:20:12,560 --> 01:20:15,000
Speaker 5: Well, it kind of does, because if they if if

1630
01:20:15,040 --> 01:20:18,400
Speaker 5: Baltimore gets their heads handed to them by San Francisco,

1631
01:20:19,320 --> 01:20:21,280
Speaker 5: and then you know, and okay, so you're saying they

1632
01:20:21,280 --> 01:20:23,519
Speaker 5: come back to the package, right and if and if

1633
01:20:24,000 --> 01:20:28,720
Speaker 5: Jacksonville drops two and you know the other the other

1634
01:20:29,160 --> 01:20:31,040
Speaker 5: Kansas City, Kansas City faulted.

1635
01:20:31,160 --> 01:20:32,800
Speaker 2: I see where you're going. I see where you're going.

1636
01:20:32,840 --> 01:20:34,600
Speaker 3: But I guess I'm just thinking of it in a

1637
01:20:34,600 --> 01:20:36,439
Speaker 3: standalone Yeah, you're doing it.

1638
01:20:36,479 --> 01:20:38,000
Speaker 4: Let me say a full view capacity.

1639
01:20:38,040 --> 01:20:40,000
Speaker 5: If you get to the point where either one of

1640
01:20:40,000 --> 01:20:42,559
Speaker 5: those teams, Buffalo or Miami winner that game, could get

1641
01:20:42,560 --> 01:20:46,000
Speaker 5: the two seed or the one seed, even you, you

1642
01:20:46,040 --> 01:20:48,320
Speaker 5: may very well be right that it's going to be

1643
01:20:48,400 --> 01:20:49,439
Speaker 5: the game of the week.

1644
01:20:49,880 --> 01:20:52,720
Speaker 3: Back to the post practice podium where Mitch Morse is

1645
01:20:52,760 --> 01:20:53,599
Speaker 3: addressing the media.

1646
01:20:53,680 --> 01:20:54,200
Speaker 4: Let's go there.

1647
01:20:55,840 --> 01:20:58,599
Speaker 3: Josh, just talking a little bit about playing the backs

1648
01:20:58,760 --> 01:21:01,880
Speaker 3: against the wall, that everybek is playing off.

1649
01:21:02,840 --> 01:21:04,200
Speaker 10: If you says that also in.

1650
01:21:04,439 --> 01:21:09,120
Speaker 14: The room, Yeah, I think that's been the mantra. I mean,

1651
01:21:09,160 --> 01:21:12,400
Speaker 14: i'd say the last three two weeks. You know, uh,

1652
01:21:12,439 --> 01:21:15,479
Speaker 14: we understand where we're at, but we also don't dwell

1653
01:21:15,520 --> 01:21:19,479
Speaker 14: on that. We just try to compound these moments, like

1654
01:21:19,520 --> 01:21:22,960
Speaker 14: I've talked about it nauseum, right, And when you compound

1655
01:21:22,960 --> 01:21:27,080
Speaker 14: those moments come Sunday or Saturday in this case, you've

1656
01:21:27,120 --> 01:21:32,880
Speaker 14: you've got a good reserve and and uh, you just

1657
01:21:32,880 --> 01:21:34,519
Speaker 14: go out and just do your best you can with

1658
01:21:35,000 --> 01:21:37,200
Speaker 14: all your focus and all your energy and then let

1659
01:21:37,200 --> 01:21:51,080
Speaker 14: the chips follow where they may. All right, Oh yeah, absolutely,

1660
01:21:51,120 --> 01:21:57,439
Speaker 14: I think uh, Spencer Brown's always taking pride and being

1661
01:22:00,240 --> 01:22:04,960
Speaker 14: accountable and being relied upon. And you know, I think

1662
01:22:05,400 --> 01:22:08,800
Speaker 14: these past two years have not been the easiest for

1663
01:22:08,880 --> 01:22:13,160
Speaker 14: him with his health and that certainly affected his play.

1664
01:22:14,240 --> 01:22:17,560
Speaker 14: Excuse me not having that you know, training camp. And

1665
01:22:17,840 --> 01:22:21,479
Speaker 14: now he's really taken onus of his craft and being

1666
01:22:21,560 --> 01:22:25,840
Speaker 14: a professional and understanding what that means to him, you know,

1667
01:22:25,880 --> 01:22:27,680
Speaker 14: because everyone kind of tries to find out how to

1668
01:22:27,760 --> 01:22:30,000
Speaker 14: be a professional, and he tried to emulate other guys's

1669
01:22:30,040 --> 01:22:33,439
Speaker 14: techniques and stuff, and sometimes that's just not right for you.

1670
01:22:33,520 --> 01:22:35,599
Speaker 14: And I'm not saying that he was doing anything wrong.

1671
01:22:35,640 --> 01:22:38,120
Speaker 14: I think he just found what worked for him, and

1672
01:22:38,240 --> 01:22:42,240
Speaker 14: he's sticking to his routine and he's he's being accountable

1673
01:22:42,240 --> 01:22:44,880
Speaker 14: and he's taken the coaching and it's just been such

1674
01:22:44,880 --> 01:22:47,720
Speaker 14: a privilege to see him kind of lock down that

1675
01:22:47,800 --> 01:22:50,479
Speaker 14: right tackle position where I know he's been getting a

1676
01:22:50,520 --> 01:22:51,639
Speaker 14: lot of flak in the past.

1677
01:22:52,840 --> 01:22:55,320
Speaker 9: What are you expecting a team that's fired up in

1678
01:22:55,400 --> 01:22:57,519
Speaker 9: the Chargers given what's going on in their organization.

1679
01:22:57,960 --> 01:22:58,120
Speaker 12: Yeah.

1680
01:22:58,120 --> 01:23:02,040
Speaker 14: Absolutely. You know, they're professionals, and they take pride in

1681
01:23:02,080 --> 01:23:04,479
Speaker 14: their work and and they take pride and showing up

1682
01:23:04,520 --> 01:23:08,080
Speaker 14: on their respective game days and playing. And they got

1683
01:23:08,080 --> 01:23:11,400
Speaker 14: a good team, they do. And anyone else who's trying

1684
01:23:11,400 --> 01:23:14,120
Speaker 14: to talk you out of it is just living in

1685
01:23:14,160 --> 01:23:17,160
Speaker 14: a fantasyland. These guys have a great team, and they

1686
01:23:17,160 --> 01:23:21,439
Speaker 14: have amazing talent on their team, and so for us,

1687
01:23:21,520 --> 01:23:23,720
Speaker 14: we'll just be matching that and kind of coming in

1688
01:23:23,760 --> 01:23:25,360
Speaker 14: like we have the last few weeks and just in

1689
01:23:25,400 --> 01:23:28,640
Speaker 14: our preparation and try to come out Saturday and just

1690
01:23:29,080 --> 01:23:30,320
Speaker 14: be as competitive as we can.

1691
01:23:31,400 --> 01:23:34,200
Speaker 7: What has impressed you about Dion's played this season.

1692
01:23:35,479 --> 01:23:39,679
Speaker 14: Well, I think he's uh, it's just he's just taking

1693
01:23:40,040 --> 01:23:43,599
Speaker 14: that next step in his professional career, which is kind

1694
01:23:43,600 --> 01:23:46,799
Speaker 14: of scary to see, right, And it's he's just always

1695
01:23:46,840 --> 01:23:51,160
Speaker 14: been physically imposing and then just brutally good football player.

1696
01:23:51,240 --> 01:23:54,280
Speaker 14: But you know, he's he's taking on us on the

1697
01:23:54,320 --> 01:23:56,760
Speaker 14: little things, the minute details, the ins and outs of

1698
01:23:56,800 --> 01:23:59,439
Speaker 14: every play of his technique and how to take care

1699
01:23:59,479 --> 01:24:02,639
Speaker 14: of himself and and uh. And he's another guy who

1700
01:24:02,800 --> 01:24:05,639
Speaker 14: prides himself on being accountable and being there for his guys.

1701
01:24:05,720 --> 01:24:09,479
Speaker 14: I think Dion's of all the players I've played with

1702
01:24:09,520 --> 01:24:12,720
Speaker 14: in my past, he's up there in regards to what

1703
01:24:12,760 --> 01:24:16,880
Speaker 14: it means to him to have the guys around his

1704
01:24:16,920 --> 01:24:19,360
Speaker 14: back like he he fights for the guys around him.

1705
01:24:19,360 --> 01:24:22,760
Speaker 14: And uh, you know, he's taken a point of pride

1706
01:24:22,800 --> 01:24:24,920
Speaker 14: in that and that's shown on the on Sundays and

1707
01:24:25,400 --> 01:24:26,439
Speaker 14: respective game days.

1708
01:24:27,200 --> 01:24:29,360
Speaker 6: I need to see him take this next step of his.

1709
01:24:29,400 --> 01:24:30,920
Speaker 8: Career, this late in his career.

1710
01:24:32,160 --> 01:24:34,200
Speaker 14: Oh, I mean, it's not to say that he was

1711
01:24:34,439 --> 01:24:36,479
Speaker 14: it's just it was just the next step. It was

1712
01:24:36,479 --> 01:24:39,439
Speaker 14: the next leap. I think, you know, he was already

1713
01:24:39,479 --> 01:24:42,519
Speaker 14: a very good football player, and he'd already made the

1714
01:24:42,560 --> 01:24:45,719
Speaker 14: steps that he needed to take to kind of progress

1715
01:24:45,760 --> 01:24:47,599
Speaker 14: to that point. And now he's taken the next one.

1716
01:24:48,200 --> 01:24:50,800
Speaker 14: And uh, and it's just exciting to see. And so

1717
01:24:50,880 --> 01:24:54,880
Speaker 14: it's a good question, and it's also kind of independent

1718
01:24:54,920 --> 01:24:55,439
Speaker 14: to the person.

1719
01:24:56,760 --> 01:24:57,360
Speaker 12: What's it like for you?

1720
01:24:57,400 --> 01:24:57,519
Speaker 9: Good?

1721
01:24:57,680 --> 01:25:00,400
Speaker 7: Just as at halftime, the conversation was, Hey, we're gonna

1722
01:25:00,439 --> 01:25:02,360
Speaker 7: keep punting, call like, we're gonna ride the offensive line.

1723
01:25:02,400 --> 01:25:04,960
Speaker 7: What's it like for you, as a again position that

1724
01:25:04,960 --> 01:25:06,599
Speaker 7: doesn't get a ton of attention to say we're gonna

1725
01:25:06,640 --> 01:25:08,200
Speaker 7: ride these guys to finish line.

1726
01:25:08,479 --> 01:25:10,439
Speaker 14: Yeah, I think he asked the guys in the offensive line.

1727
01:25:10,439 --> 01:25:14,160
Speaker 14: No one really cares about getting attention. Not we care

1728
01:25:14,160 --> 01:25:19,679
Speaker 14: about winning the game. And at that moment, the run

1729
01:25:19,720 --> 01:25:22,360
Speaker 14: game was being effective and so we were just sticking

1730
01:25:22,360 --> 01:25:26,320
Speaker 14: to it. And then, like Josh kind of alluded to,

1731
01:25:26,680 --> 01:25:29,000
Speaker 14: I think krudos goes to Joe because it wasn't the

1732
01:25:29,040 --> 01:25:33,439
Speaker 14: sexiest game for receivers or coordinators, but in the end,

1733
01:25:33,439 --> 01:25:35,360
Speaker 14: it was about getting the win. And I think more

1734
01:25:35,400 --> 01:25:37,559
Speaker 14: than anything, it gave us time of possession to give

1735
01:25:37,560 --> 01:25:40,400
Speaker 14: our defense an opportunity to rest as well as put

1736
01:25:40,439 --> 01:25:41,960
Speaker 14: them in a position where they had to throw the

1737
01:25:41,960 --> 01:25:44,800
Speaker 14: ball and let our guys hunt. And it also gave

1738
01:25:44,880 --> 01:25:47,400
Speaker 14: us an opportunity to not have to pass pro that

1739
01:25:47,520 --> 01:25:52,160
Speaker 14: much against an extremely talented pass rushing unit. So it

1740
01:25:52,240 --> 01:25:55,120
Speaker 14: was just it was a something that we weren't totally

1741
01:25:55,120 --> 01:25:57,760
Speaker 14: planning on running it that many times, but it was

1742
01:25:57,800 --> 01:25:59,559
Speaker 14: just kind of go with the flow, and I think

1743
01:25:59,640 --> 01:26:01,320
Speaker 14: the coach is it a great job of making those

1744
01:26:01,360 --> 01:26:03,639
Speaker 14: in game adjustments, and once we understood what the task

1745
01:26:03,760 --> 01:26:07,639
Speaker 14: was at hand, the guys kind of stuck to it.

1746
01:26:09,360 --> 01:26:09,720
Speaker 4: All right.

1747
01:26:09,760 --> 01:26:13,000
Speaker 3: So that's Mitch Morse and encouraging to hear that he

1748
01:26:13,200 --> 01:26:15,400
Speaker 3: and the rest of the team are taking the Chargers

1749
01:26:15,439 --> 01:26:18,760
Speaker 3: seriously despite the upheaval with the organization. Over the course

1750
01:26:18,800 --> 01:26:22,400
Speaker 3: of the past week, interim coach some new play callers

1751
01:26:22,880 --> 01:26:27,799
Speaker 3: backup quarterback. Mitch says, hey, they're professionals, and he expects

1752
01:26:27,840 --> 01:26:31,360
Speaker 3: them to be out there playing for some pride, especially

1753
01:26:31,400 --> 01:26:35,040
Speaker 3: after getting embarrassed the week before by their division rival team,

1754
01:26:35,520 --> 01:26:38,160
Speaker 3: the Las Vegas Raiders. Steve and I have to take

1755
01:26:38,160 --> 01:26:40,439
Speaker 3: a break here. When we come back, we'll close it up,

1756
01:26:40,439 --> 01:26:45,640
Speaker 3: including some news about Aaron Rodgers. The guy that loves

1757
01:26:45,720 --> 01:26:49,599
Speaker 3: attention has successfully garnered even more for himself. We'll explain

1758
01:26:49,640 --> 01:26:51,920
Speaker 3: when we return. Here on One Bill's Live presented by

1759
01:26:52,000 --> 01:27:00,600
Speaker 3: Kalida Help, It's Buffalo Bills Radio. Here on One of

1760
01:27:00,600 --> 01:27:03,720
Speaker 3: Bills Live, Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you, and there

1761
01:27:03,760 --> 01:27:06,840
Speaker 3: is some Aaron Rodgers news. Essentially appearing on the Pat

1762
01:27:06,920 --> 01:27:10,479
Speaker 3: McAfee show. He basically confirmed he's not gonna be playing

1763
01:27:10,520 --> 01:27:12,479
Speaker 3: again this season. He said there would have been a

1764
01:27:12,520 --> 01:27:17,880
Speaker 3: conversation about playing if the Jets won against Miami last week,

1765
01:27:17,960 --> 01:27:21,400
Speaker 3: but now since they are eliminated and he's not truly

1766
01:27:21,400 --> 01:27:24,720
Speaker 3: one hundred percent healthy, he won't be playing this year.

1767
01:27:24,720 --> 01:27:26,000
Speaker 2: It is officially a lost year.

1768
01:27:26,040 --> 01:27:28,360
Speaker 3: I thought it would have been enormously risky for him

1769
01:27:28,400 --> 01:27:29,479
Speaker 3: to try to play in a game.

1770
01:27:29,560 --> 01:27:31,439
Speaker 2: I mean, did you even think it was gonna happen?

1771
01:27:31,560 --> 01:27:32,280
Speaker 4: Absolutely not.

1772
01:27:32,920 --> 01:27:36,200
Speaker 5: I never believed for one single moment that Aaron Rodgers

1773
01:27:36,240 --> 01:27:38,840
Speaker 5: would play for the New York Jets this season at all, period,

1774
01:27:38,960 --> 01:27:41,320
Speaker 5: end of story. Even though they reported last week that

1775
01:27:41,360 --> 01:27:43,360
Speaker 5: he had a chance to get medically cleared this week,

1776
01:27:43,680 --> 01:27:44,680
Speaker 5: there's no way.

1777
01:27:45,479 --> 01:27:50,120
Speaker 4: Come on, that's yeah. And it for the crazy talk,

1778
01:27:50,720 --> 01:27:52,200
Speaker 4: well that's putting it mildly.

1779
01:27:53,000 --> 01:27:59,160
Speaker 5: That's either a Aaron attention seeking or the Jets gamesmanship

1780
01:27:59,200 --> 01:28:01,840
Speaker 5: thinking Okay, he's got to think, okay, they gotta you know.

1781
01:28:03,040 --> 01:28:06,880
Speaker 5: And I don't think the Jets gain anything by tantalizing

1782
01:28:06,920 --> 01:28:09,160
Speaker 5: their fans or anybody else that Aaron's gonna come back,

1783
01:28:09,400 --> 01:28:13,880
Speaker 5: particularly their opponents. If you're the Jets, you want to think, yeah,

1784
01:28:14,000 --> 01:28:16,200
Speaker 5: we're gonna start Zach Wilson and we are not taking

1785
01:28:16,280 --> 01:28:18,519
Speaker 5: him out of the game. That would that gives your

1786
01:28:18,520 --> 01:28:20,760
Speaker 5: opponents like less to play for. I mean, they got

1787
01:28:20,760 --> 01:28:24,160
Speaker 5: to that guy stinks. So you don't want to tantalize

1788
01:28:24,200 --> 01:28:26,040
Speaker 5: anybody with thinking, Hey, the Jets's gonna come out here

1789
01:28:26,080 --> 01:28:27,720
Speaker 5: with a bunch of life because Aaron's coming to the

1790
01:28:27,760 --> 01:28:31,360
Speaker 5: rescue later in the year. So I think it's one

1791
01:28:31,439 --> 01:28:34,040
Speaker 5: hundred percent Aaron just deciding to insert himself into the

1792
01:28:34,080 --> 01:28:34,639
Speaker 5: news cycle.

1793
01:28:34,720 --> 01:28:36,599
Speaker 3: He said it was always his plan to play two

1794
01:28:36,680 --> 01:28:38,880
Speaker 3: years for the Jets, so he will be back in

1795
01:28:39,000 --> 01:28:43,639
Speaker 3: twenty twenty four. He obviously gave a vote of support

1796
01:28:43,720 --> 01:28:47,080
Speaker 3: for GM Joe Douglas, head coach Robert Sala and Hacket,

1797
01:28:48,560 --> 01:28:50,720
Speaker 3: which you know his opinion is gonna matter.

1798
01:28:50,840 --> 01:28:51,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's not gonna want to.

1799
01:28:51,960 --> 01:28:53,960
Speaker 5: Go through a new coaching stat He's not gonna come back,

1800
01:28:53,960 --> 01:28:55,720
Speaker 5: say twenty twenty fours my last year because it's a

1801
01:28:55,760 --> 01:28:58,320
Speaker 5: lame duck year and everything's all magnifized. He's got to say, hey,

1802
01:28:58,320 --> 01:28:59,679
Speaker 5: this isn't the end of it for him. We're gonna

1803
01:28:59,760 --> 01:29:01,840
Speaker 5: keep going with this, So it'll it'll be an ongoing

1804
01:29:01,920 --> 01:29:03,559
Speaker 5: saga even in the end of.

1805
01:29:03,520 --> 01:29:05,400
Speaker 2: Tory t get him more attention, which is just what

1806
01:29:05,439 --> 01:29:05,880
Speaker 2: he's after.

1807
01:29:06,880 --> 01:29:09,760
Speaker 3: We will see you tomorrow at one probably the most

1808
01:29:09,800 --> 01:29:12,439
Speaker 3: stringent practice of the bills, so we'll have that covered

1809
01:29:12,439 --> 01:29:15,960
Speaker 3: with practice updates and post practice sound We'll see you

1810
01:29:16,000 --> 01:29:16,040
Speaker 3: that
