Speaker 4: up yesterday to plow the drive, which, by the way, now, Mike,

20
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 4: I could mow my lawn today. All the snow is

21
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 4: completely gone.

22
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 2: Doesn't look like we're gonna have a white Christmas here

23
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:16,680
Speaker 2: in most parts of western New York. I know, the

24
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 2: southern tiers the no so they might still have some.

25
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:20,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, what's the uh?

26
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,479
Speaker 4: What's the general feeling? I know the song and it's

27
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 4: all sentimental and have white Christmas? A thumbs up on it?

28
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 4: Or thumbs are like indifferent.

29
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 2: Like having one yeah. I think it adds to the

30
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 2: feel of Look at the.

31
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:39,400
Speaker 4: There's our stadium right there. Yeah, it's bright and sunny

32
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 4: and clear.

33
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 2: Yeah. And I don't get me wrong, I'll take a

34
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 2: sunny day any day of the week.

35
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:43,400
Speaker 5: We have.

36
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 2: Sunshine makes enough gray days here right winter exactly, So

37
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 2: I'll take the sunshine. I'm I'm welcoming that with open all.

38
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 4: I'm all about the sunshine.

39
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 2: But my wife is a big time stickler. Like, hey,

40
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 2: we live in Buffalo. We deal with winter, and a

41
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 2: lot of what dishes out for is the least winter

42
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 2: can do is give us a white Christmas for all

43
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 2: that we deal with here from November to April.

44
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,079
Speaker 4: For me, there's a there's a lot of things i'd

45
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 4: trade away, and white Christmas being one of them.

46
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 2: What does it exchange for.

47
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 4: When it's time for winter to be gone?

48
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:22,519
Speaker 6: Leave?

49
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,639
Speaker 4: That's it. It's when March and April we're only three

50
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 4: days and it goes and we get into six weeks

51
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 4: of thirty eight and raining, that's just go, just leave, right,

52
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 4: But you can keep your white Christmas if I get

53
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 4: a dry April, May and June.

54
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think, because you know what, that's because my

55
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 2: wife knows that's not going anywhere. That's not She says,

56
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 2: at least give us a white Christmas.

57
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 4: I could see that. Yeah, yeah, that's that's a small concession,

58
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 4: right for the six weeks of greatness we get in

59
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 4: the in the springtime. I was walking down the hallways.

60
00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 4: I think it was like late April, this last cold

61
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 4: Bishops in there.

62
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 3: Remember he was here.

63
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 4: I'm going, I go it's it's gonna leave pretty soon.

64
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 4: This is the part of the year that's really He's

65
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 4: looking at us going like does it.

66
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 2: You go, what's going on?

67
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 4: Like, what's the deal? His first year, first of Tree Georgia. Yeah,

68
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 4: it's his first off Season's like, oh man, he goes

69
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 4: It's like.

70
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 2: What's happening? He was bewildered. I was like, dude, well

71
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 2: the problem was you originally told him tax day, don't worry.

72
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 2: Don't worry, col By, tax Day will be free, and

73
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 2: clearly that's right. We get past draft weekend, right, and

74
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 2: it's still lousy here, right, And that's when we walked

75
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 2: in and he's he's sitting there, no this training with

76
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 2: tail rabb. He turns around, he goes, hey, what what's

77
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 2: going on?

78
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: Yeah?

79
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 4: I think it was even earlier, and that I think

80
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 4: I was telling him usually like I was telling him

81
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 4: like in two weeks, like it was like late March,

82
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 4: early April, and I was selling no, no. By Draft

83
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 4: Day usually were on. You gave him tax Day, I remember,

84
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 4: I know I did. I said I by tax Day,

85
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 4: it's gonna be nice. I was like telling him, Hey,

86
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 4: it's gonna be okay, and it wasn't.

87
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 2: So it was the next time he saw us, he

88
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 2: was like, what's going on? You told me like what

89
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 2: can I say?

90
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 4: What can I say? I'm in there with you. It

91
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 4: was bad. Yeah, last year was a particularly lingering winter.

92
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 4: H So that's what I would trade a white Christmas for.

93
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,799
Speaker 3: Just get out.

94
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:31,479
Speaker 4: Late March, early April, leave or earlier, and you can.

95
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 4: You can have I have a green Christmas. I don't care.

96
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 4: Just leave when it's time to leave.

97
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 2: You're like the heat miser of Western New York. He'll

98
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 2: take the green Christmas, that's right.

99
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:44,039
Speaker 4: But well, ever whatever, I'm happy to be here with

100
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 4: you on Christmas Eve three hours talking about the Bills.

101
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 4: Can I have I Grease on the show today? You know?

102
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 4: And that's a team that is a little bit like

103
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 4: the Bills in the sense that, you know, they're the

104
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 4: defending world champions, and they had high expectations of coming

105
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 4: back and having a really good year, and now they

106
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 4: put back to back division titles together. But it has

107
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:14,919
Speaker 4: been much much different than their run last year. SAQ

108
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 4: once barely at a thousand yards, you know what I mean.

109
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 4: Their defense has been out, they've been nicked up. They

110
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 4: haven't looked the same, and it's been that way a

111
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 4: little bit like the Bills. The Bills came in with

112
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 4: high expectations of course once again, and there have been

113
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 4: times when it just hasn't looked right and and we've.

114
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 2: Had to hear it.

115
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 4: So we'll have to talk grease about that and what's

116
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 4: like in phild Chills fans are notorious anyway, but still.

117
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,159
Speaker 2: Well, they were going through it during that three game

118
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,599
Speaker 2: losing streak. I mean, they wow that they didn't know

119
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 2: what to do. They were you know what I mean, Well,

120
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 2: they were beside themselves, yes they were, and and I

121
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 2: get it.

122
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 4: I mean it's late in the season. They lost the Cowboys,

123
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 4: the Bears, and the Chargers right in a row, all

124
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 4: close loss. They're kind of like the Bills. They lose

125
00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 4: close games and just couldn't get it together.

126
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 2: It is what it is.

127
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a rough gut. It's so hard to win.

128
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 2: We are going to have a little fun with you

129
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 2: folks today since it is Christmas Eve, and I'm going

130
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 2: to throw out the topic here early before we get

131
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 2: to practice notes and other items around the NFL. What

132
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:25,880

Speaker 2: five fifty one eighty eight five fifty two, five fifty

138
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 2: those are the numbers to join us. This week's game

139
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:48,039
Speaker 2: against the Eagles is presented by T Mark Hvac and Plumbing,

140
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 2: the official residential HVAC partner of the Buffalo Bills, And

141
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 2: right now, the Bills are a two and a half

142
00:06:56,320 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 2: point favorite in this game. They have only one loss

143
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 2: at home this season, that being the Patriots in Week five,

144
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 2: so we'll see if they can finish this thing on

145
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 2: a good note, and I think they were. They have

146
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,559
Speaker 2: nine home games this year, right so they would finish

147
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 2: seven eight and one eight and one, so they have

148
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 2: nine home games.

149
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 4: The last time these two teams played, it was in

150
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 4: Philly overtime game, overtime game thirty seven, thirty four. Josh

151
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 4: ran for two, threw for two. Jalen threw for three,

152
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 4: ran for two. It was a barn burner.

153
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was in a driving rain sat rainstorm.

154
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 4: That was when the guy hit the big kick.

155
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 3: Yeah.

156
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 2: Elliott hit a fifty nine yarder on a soggy, muddy field.

157
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 2: I could not believe it. Yeah, it was the kick

158
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 2: of the year. It's a heroic kick. They've won the

159
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 2: last Tyler vass Mista kicking.

160
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 4: The Eagles have won their last three matchups with the Bills. Yeah,

161
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 4: they haven't lost against Buffalo since two thousand.

162
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 2: Huh, they won the last three. I know that.

163
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 4: No, that's not right. Twenty eleven. I say Philly lost,

164
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 4: but at thirty one to twenty four here in Buffalo,

165
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 4: Andy Reid.

166
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 2: Was there then, I think that sounds right.

167
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, so it's been a minute.

168
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 2: Bill's practice updates are presented by Lee Coom. You're Lake

169
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 2: Erie College of Ostia Pathic Medicine. Bills are back on

170
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 2: the practice field today and we'll get an update as

171
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 2: today is more of a regular practice. Tuesday was just

172
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 2: a walkthrough for the players, but Josh Allen was among

173
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 2: the non participants due to his foot ailment suffered in

174
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,959
Speaker 2: last Sunday's game. We'll hear from him a bit later

175
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 2: in the show as he addressed the media, but did

176
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 2: say he'll be good to go on Sunday. Others who

177
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:55,559
Speaker 2: did not participate in the walk through Joey Bosa, Jordan Phillips,

178
00:08:55,880 --> 00:09:02,559
Speaker 2: Matt Prater, Jordan Poyerdikwon Jones, Dalton Cad and Cam Lewis.

179
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 2: So we'll check in with our eyes out there later

180
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:09,079
Speaker 2: to see who is practicing and who is not. A

181
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 2: couple of practice squad transactions, the Bills re signed MJ.

182
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 2: Devonshire back to the practice squad. After the Bills lost

183
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 2: Shane bouchell who was signed away to the Chief's active roster.

184
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 2: They're obviously down two quarterbacks and Bouchelle had played in

185
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one. In twenty twenty two, he was on

186
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 2: the Chiefs roster, so they brought him back because he

187
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 2: has familiarity with their offense. Then the Cleveland Browns signed

188
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 2: guard Kendrick Green off of Buffalo's practice squad to their

189
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 2: active roster as their short a few offensive linemen, and

190
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 2: the Bills filled that vacancy with offensive tackle Richard Garage

191
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 2: signing him today. Garage had been on the roster each

192
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 2: of the last two years, primarily on the team's practice squad,

193
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,599
Speaker 2: so he returns. And that's of the lay of the

194
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 2: land with the shuffling on the practice squad the last

195
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 2: couple of days here so been a little busy on

196
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:11,199
Speaker 2: the practice squad transaction wire for Buffalo. So we'll try

197
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 2: to get an update on practice participation a little bit

198
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 2: later on in the show. But let's go around the NFL,

199
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 2: which is presented by Kalida Health, the official healthcare system

200
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 2: of the Buffalo Bills. Packers. QB Jordan Love took the

201
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 2: first steps toward returning from the concussion he sustained and

202
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 2: last Saturday's lost to the Bears. He participated in meetings

203
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 2: and the walkthrough session Tuesday. Meanwhile, backup quarterback Malik Willis

204
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:43,319
Speaker 2: downplayed the severity of his throwing shoulder injury. Love remains

205
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 2: in concussion protocol. I got taken out of the first

206
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 2: half of the game on a helmet to helmet hit

207
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 2: from defensive end Austin Booker, who's probably in for a

208
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 2: steep fine via FedEx on Thursday. But Love was able

209
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 2: to take part in most of what the Packers did

210
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 2: during the first day of preparation for the upcoming Saturday

211
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 2: game against the Ravens. So we'll see if he is

212
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 2: able to re enter the lineup this week. That is

213
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 2: a Saturday game, so it's one fewer day he has

214
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 2: to recover. Meanwhile, Lamar Jackson's status for that same game

215
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 2: at Green Bay Saturday is up in the air because

216
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 2: he did not participate in Tuesday's walkthrough because of his

217
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 2: back contusion. He left last Sunday Night's game in the

218
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 2: first half and did not return as the Patriots stage

219
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 2: a comeback victory victory. So say what you will. I

220
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 2: realize this guy doesn't have a lot of meat on

221
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 2: his bone, Steve, But if you're upright.

222
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 4: I don't know.

223
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I got a hard I got a hard time

224
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 2: with this.

225
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:46,719
Speaker 4: He's having it.

226
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:47,079
Speaker 2: He had.

227
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 4: He has been a very very difficult season for the

228
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 4: Ravens and Lamar in particular. He's been He's been dealing

229
00:11:54,880 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 4: with like multiple needs, a toe, toe, now ribs, back,

230
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 4: just one thing after another for him. And it has

231
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 4: not gone well, and you get the feeling Deshaun plays.

232
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 4: There's marked difference when he doesn't feel his best. He

233
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 4: really doesn't feel play his best, you know what I mean.

234
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 4: He fights smart, he'll go yeah, Lamar, he'll go out

235
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 4: there and play and goes He's tough enough, but man,

236
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 4: it really hurts his production when he goes out there

237
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 4: and doesn't feel his best. And this you know, just

238
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 4: I've been there, man, I there's nothing worse than having

239
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 4: to play pro football when you feel bad physically, you

240
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 4: gotta something you're dragging, or maybe or multiple things you're dragging.

241
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 4: You just can't get away and just just no escape

242
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:50,079
Speaker 4: from it. So that's that is the story of their

243
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 4: season this year. If you know, if it looks and

244
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 4: it looks as though it's gonna be you know, the

245
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 4: end of it here as they you know, draw to

246
00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 4: a close and Lamar's not gonna be able to help him.

247
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 2: It's just we'll see if he plays this week. I mean,

248
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 2: they're still mathematically alive, but it's not great.

249
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 4: They got to hope that Steelers well lose to the

250
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 4: Browns this week and then the Baltimore Ravens have to

251
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:16,839
Speaker 4: beat the Steelers on Week eight ten for that to

252
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 4: go the other way.

253
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's still that's a division that is not yet clinched.

254
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 2: But Pittsburgh wins this week, they clinched the division.

255
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:29,679
Speaker 4: So yeah, and they're playing Cleveland.

256
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 2: Raiders are placing their all pro tight end Brock Bowers

257
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 2: on injured reserve. He's been dealing with a knee injury

258
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 2: since Week one, and with the playoffs not in the

259
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 2: cards for Las Vegas, they are shutting him down. He

260
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:45,680
Speaker 2: will be getting knee surgery this offseason, so you're looking

261
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 2: to get an early start on that. They are also

262
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 2: putting safety Jeremy Chin on IR as well. Raiders are

263
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 2: going nowhere. They've got two wins on the season, so

264
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 2: if you got guys that are headed to surgery in

265
00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 2: the offseason, why not get it done two weeks earlier,

266
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 2: so their rehab is that much faster, that's right.

267
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 4: And there's some of that going on, and you know,

268
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 4: the ownership is looking like, well, listen, we're the number

269
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 4: one team in the draft right now, let's just stay

270
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 4: there and get the next guy out. The problem is

271
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 4: they got a quarterback that's under contract. For a minute.

272
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 2: You know, Yeah, there's probably an out in there. They're

273
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 2: gonna be drafting high draft one. Well they're drafted with

274
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 2: the number one pick. Well, them and the Giants, they're

275
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 2: three and twelve. Giants are and you know le Vegas

276
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 2: is two and thirteen.

277
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 4: So they it's a race to the bottom. Oh my gosh.

278
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 2: And that's why the Raiders are throwing some of their

279
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 2: best players overboard too.

280
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 4: Well, just shutting them down, we're doing and that's you know,

281
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 4: they're you know, trying to look noble doing it. Yeah,

282
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 4: we're saving We're just doing it for their own good.

283
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 2: Carolina Panthers have opened the twenty one day practice window

284
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 2: of Pro Bowl guard Robert Hunt. Tour his by se

285
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 2: ten and back in Week two for a team in

286
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 2: the playoff. Hunt and currently atop the NFC South, could

287
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 2: be a big ad. They can get him off injured

288
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 2: reserve this week or next to ramp him up for

289
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 2: what could be a postseason run. They're currently the division

290
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 2: leader in the NFC South. It's not over yet, but

291
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 2: they're at the top at eight and seven. Both dk

292
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 2: Metcalf Denzel Perriman saw their two game suspensions from the

293
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 2: league upheld. Both appealed their suspensions However, the league is

294
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 2: still investigating whether the fan involved in the altercation with

295
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 2: Metcalf violated the Fan Code of Conduct in any way

296
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 2: after some of the claims contained in Metcalf's appeal. So

297
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 2: I think he made some claims about what was said

298
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 2: to him, and so the league is making sure that

299
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 2: either did or did not happen, because if it did,

300
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 2: it would violate the Fan Code of Conduct. Right justin,

301
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 2: Field's first season with the Jets, and quite possibly his last,

302
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 2: is officially over. The now former starting quarterback placed on

303
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 2: injured reserve and his first and maybe only year with

304
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 2: the Jets is now over. Fields was benched back on

305
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 2: November seventeenth. It's been bothering in recent weeks by what

306
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 2: the team called knee soreness. Returned to practice last week,

307
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 2: but did tell reporters he still wasn't healthy enough to play.

308
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 2: He was inactive for the last three games. It's a

309
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 2: big reason reason why Brady Cook has been starting their

310
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 2: third string quarterback. Forty nine Ers tight end George Kittle

311
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 2: suffered only a mid to low ankle sprain on Monday night,

312
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 2: avoiding the dreaded high ankle sprain. According to ESPN reports,

313
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 2: San Francisco is eleven and four, can still earn the

314
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 2: number one seed in the NFC if they win their

315
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 2: last two games against the Bears and the Seahawks. So

316
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 2: the NFC West not to sided yet.

317
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

318
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:04,919
Speaker 4: Well, the Seahawks games rough because they're the you know,

319
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 4: a man, I I got it.

320
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 2: We're I want to see where that last game is.

321
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,119
Speaker 2: I want to see if it's in Seattle or San Francisco.

322
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:20,880
Speaker 4: Let's see San Francisco. It's in San Francisco.

323
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:23,639
Speaker 2: Both games makes a different.

324
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 4: The Bears game this week and the Seahawks game next

325
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 4: week are in San Francisco. San Francisco is like the Bills.

326
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,920
Speaker 4: They end with two home games in the last two weeks.

327
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 2: And Seattle has a cross country trip this week. They're

328
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,640
Speaker 2: at Carolina, who's fighting to win their division.

329
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:42,360
Speaker 4: Seattle is absolutely gonna curb stump them. Curb stumped the

330
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,120
Speaker 4: Carolina Panthers in my opinion.

331
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 2: Your humble opinion. Okay, that's fair. Yeah, that is around

332
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 2: the NFL presented by Calida Health. I don't know who

333
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 2: has the Christmas Day game? Is it Netflix? Does Netflix

334
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 2: have three games? Actually? Right?

335
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 4: You think about this? We just talked about this before

336
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 4: we go on. I gotta I gotta mention this because

337
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 4: Jeff Coltenakt just alerted me. So, say San Francisco wins

338
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 4: against Chicago this weekend at home, then they beat Seattle.

339
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:26,159
Speaker 4: They are the one seed in the NFC at the

340
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:28,359
Speaker 4: stadium where the super Bowl is going to be played,

341
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:32,160
Speaker 4: So they could play at home at home, Bye Week

342
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 4: at home in the Divisional Roule Championship, and then the

343
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:41,400
Speaker 4: super Bowl. They would play like five straight games in

344
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 4: that same stadium at home, and play at home for

345
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:44,440
Speaker 4: the super Bowl.

346
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 3: Yeah.

347
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 2: So I think Amazon Prime has the night game on Christmas?

348
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 2: Is that correct?

349
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 4: There's three games tomorrow.

350
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:57,680
Speaker 2: Amazon Prime has the night game, which is Broncos Chiefs

351
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 2: with no Patrick Mahomes not even I have Gardner minshew. Yeah,

352
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 2: and then the one o'clock game Cowboys command Cowboys Commanders.

353
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:14,439
Speaker 2: Josh Johnson is starting at quarterback for the Commanders. They

354
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:16,640
Speaker 2: just announced you.

355
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 4: Compelling games here.

356
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 2: I mean the quarterback injuries have crushed the streaming services.

357
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 2: I mean, are you gonna watch Josh Johnson play the Cowboys?

358
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 4: Well, that's the only game on so yeah, probably.

359
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 2: You might watch it anyway. I don't know, I got

360
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 2: what am I gonna do.

361
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 4: I mean, it's Christmas, so yeah, I'm trying to. I mean, yeah,

362
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 4: maybe it'll be on the background. Lions Vikings will be

363
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 4: got if I have it on the backgrounds there's a off,

364
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:52,199
Speaker 4: the volumes off.

365
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's good.

366
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 4: All I gotta do is check the score button.

367
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna every one of these Christmas Day games

368
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 2: is missing a starting quarterback. Josh Johnson is starting for

369
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 2: the Commanders against the Cowboys, and then we saw yesterday

370
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 2: j JJ McCarthy's got a broken hand. He's not playing

371
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:14,160
Speaker 2: against the Lions, and Mahomes and minshew are out against

372
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 2: the Broncos. Is anyone even gonna show up in Kansas

373
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 2: City for that game on Christmas Day night, eight fifteen pm.

374
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:29,160
Speaker 4: I'll just say this day's over over the Traditionally, yes, traditionally,

375
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 4: if you think about it, it used to be before

376
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 4: this that like when you go on Christmas morning, you're

377
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 4: up and eat eat the bait, late dinner. Everybody used

378
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 4: to be it used to be attrition. Well, I think I

379
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 4: think Christmas Night was a big movie night in America.

380
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 4: People go out to the movie theaters because they would

381
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 4: look for something to doing. The days over let's go

382
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 4: to the movies, because there'd be a Christmas movie to

383
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 4: go see, right, I I mean like Santa Claus. I'm

384
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 4: talking about like die Hard or one of these you

385
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,919
Speaker 4: know these movies that are released on Christmas. It used

386
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 4: to be a thing. So now it's it's a foot

387
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 4: right in Kansas City. Yeah, and the fans, well the

388
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 4: fans in Missouri at Earrawhead Dug go and start thinking

389
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 4: about the fact that they don't have to pay for

390
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 4: the new stadium. It's going to be in Kansas for

391
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:14,200
Speaker 4: the Chiefs.

392
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 3: Yeah.

393
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 4: All that's going on.

394
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 2: That a tinge of nostalgia, a.

395
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:22,440
Speaker 4: Tinge of bitterness. The team's moving to camp across the

396
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 4: river maybe, but that, yeah, I think that's a thing.

397
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,120
Speaker 4: People will go to the game. I don't know though.

398
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 4: Chiefs are six and nine.

399
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,719
Speaker 2: They've been spoiled out out there. It's the first time

400
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:34,400
Speaker 2: they're not making the play six.

401
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 4: Yeah. Most fan bases have been there at some point

402
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:41,879
Speaker 4: where you know, you've had big expectations and a lot

403
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 4: of success and then all of a sudden it goes

404
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 4: away and it's like, I mean that happened if you

405
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:50,400
Speaker 4: remember the comeback game here and it was then Ralph

406
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:55,160
Speaker 4: Wilson Stadium or no, it was a rich stadium high Mark.

407
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 4: They didn't sell that playoff game out.

408
00:21:57,960 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 2: I remember it was.

409
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 4: So because the team had looked, you know, struggled down

410
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 4: the stretch. It was different cast of characters and and

411
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 4: the you know, and then the comeback happened. So maybe, yeah,

412
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 4: that might be a tough sell in Kansas City to

413
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:14,120
Speaker 4: get people to go to that game tomorrow night.

414
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 2: I don't think it'll be the same sell out that

415
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 2: we're used to seeing there. Maybe I'm wrong, but we'll

416
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:24,160
Speaker 2: see that'll be. Let's get to the phones at aight

427
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:48,879
Speaker 3: Buddy?

428
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 8: You bet uh I got? I want to get your

429
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,160
Speaker 8: respective and then I'll hang up and listen to you

430
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 8: all the AFC games will be played and will be

431
00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:59,359
Speaker 8: complete by the time the Bills play their four to

432
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 8: twenty five game. Based on those results, well the Bills

433
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:10,159
Speaker 8: played the games out and considering Cook's passable rushing title

434
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:12,160
Speaker 8: or will they rest them.

435
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:19,160
Speaker 4: It has been their practice DJ that if a guy's

436
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 4: got something he wants to play for, they'll let him go.

437
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:25,879
Speaker 4: They'll let him play, whether it's incentives. A rushing title

438
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 4: would certainly in my view, fall into the category of yeah,

439
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:33,879
Speaker 4: let's let's try and get it for him. You know,

440
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 4: I'm I mean, they sat Josh down in Week eighteen

441
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 4: two years ago, but he wasn't in the thick of

442
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 4: the MVP race, right.

443
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:45,119
Speaker 2: Well, he sat last year in Week eighteen, he.

444
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:48,880
Speaker 4: Sat there you go, he came out for that. Josh

445
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:52,159
Speaker 4: might be Josh might be a little bit of a

446
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:58,399
Speaker 4: different animal, but that I would have a hard time

447
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 4: sitting James week seventeen. Then you got Week eighteen. Yeah,

448
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:03,880
Speaker 4: they're gonna come out, I think and play and play hard.

449
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,119
Speaker 2: I think they're gonna play because there's stuff to play

450
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 2: for people. Yeah, Like, you can talk about the division

451
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:13,439
Speaker 2: all you want, but you can improve your seating in

452
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 2: the wild card if you keep winning. I mean, the

453
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 2: three wild card teams are all right next to each other,

454
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 2: jammed up, and the Chargers play the Texans this week.

455
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:26,679
Speaker 2: So right now it's Chargers in the five hole, Bills

456
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 2: in the six hole, Texans in the seven hole, and

457
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 2: the Chargers play the Texans. Now, if you win and

458
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 2: the Texans win, you move up to number five.

459
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:42,160
Speaker 4: We skip ahead of the Texans.

460
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 2: Do we know we're already? Ah, we win and the

461
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:46,160
Speaker 2: Texans win, you.

462
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 7: Move up to five.

463
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:48,159
Speaker 2: That's not nothing.

464
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 4: That's not nothing.

465
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:54,200
Speaker 2: So I think you're playing for that. You would rather

466
00:24:54,320 --> 00:25:01,119
Speaker 2: play if you're you would rather play the perceived weakest

467
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 2: division winner, the four seed, and if you're the five

468
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 2: seed you get to do that. I think you're playing

469
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 2: for stuff here. So resting starters right now, to me

470
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:14,719
Speaker 2: does not compute. You're trying to win games here. You

471
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 2: got to You gotta keep on winning. Pick your head

472
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 2: up at the end and see where you're at. Yeah.

473
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 2: I think if you lock yourself in and you can't

474
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,639
Speaker 2: improve your position or worse than your position, that's the

475
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 2: time to maybe look at sitting people down.

476
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:30,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, and that is rare that you can't go up

477
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 4: or down. But the seven teams are pretty much. If

478
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 4: Pittsburgh wins this weekend, the seven teams are set. It's

479
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:41,359
Speaker 4: over whatever, And then do you worry about the pecking

480
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,200
Speaker 4: order for five six and for five six and seven.

481
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:47,400
Speaker 4: But if if Pittsburgh wins, Baltimore's out of the mix,

482
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 4: and that's it's all over. Indianapolis has an outside chance,

483
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:53,679
Speaker 4: but no they're not. Houston's not gonna lose both of

484
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 4: its final games, or if if they do, Indianapolis has

485
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:03,919
Speaker 4: to win. And Indianapolis this just in Indianapolis is playing

486
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 4: Jacksonville this week, So yeah, Indianapolis is done. Stick a

487
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:09,520

Speaker 2: Yeah, do you too?

510
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,680
Speaker 11: Uh, this is the best gift. So I'm in California.

511
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 11: We live in the Josh Allen location. My daughter went

512
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:38,360
Speaker 11: to school with her and was on his swim team

513
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 11: when they were just young. So we're on the Josh

514
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 11: Allen ben wagon. I'm not like most of the callers.

515
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 11: I've been a Bills fan my whole life. We've only

516
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 11: been a Bills fen since Josh was there. And I'm

517
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 11: in Raider country in forty nine er country, and it's

518
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 11: awesome being a Bills fan. So the best gift was

519
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 11: in twenty three when they came to Los Angeles against

520
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:02,159
Speaker 11: the Rams. My wife, it's a family. I have a

521
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,199
Speaker 11: family of three, my mother in law, my sisters, my

522
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:07,639
Speaker 11: mom and dad. We all bought tickets to that game,

523
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 11: club level seats, kind of splurge it on that and

524
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,440
Speaker 11: my wife and I bought Josh Allen jerseys for everybody

525
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 11: and we had the best time there. Because you don't

526
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:25,160
Speaker 11: realize how well the Bills travel, and it's fun. It's

527
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:29,159
Speaker 11: fun being in California and rooting for the Bills because

528
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:32,400
Speaker 11: other Bills fans embrace you. They all talk to you,

529
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 11: and we all have something in common. That dad twenty three,

530
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 11: it was on December twenty third, twenty three. It was

531
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 11: so much fun. That was the best gift for all

532
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 11: of us. We still talk about it.

533
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 12: To this day.

534
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 11: My families are Bills fans now. We all watched every game,

535
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 11: whether we have to steal it from the Internet or

536
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 11: or somebody buys it off something, you know, we all

537
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 11: get together her to watch it. So maybe maybe the

538
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 11: local Bills fans don't realize what they have, but it

539
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 11: is something and it's neat to look at, and there

540
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 11: are a lot of fun fans. A lot of fun

541
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 11: people and so that's it.

542
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 4: All right, awesome.

543
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 2: Ruben's gift is basically experiencing Bill's mafia for the first

544
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 2: time for him and his family. That's kind of cool.

545
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 4: I get it. And he's right there, Josh, you know

546
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 4: cut Josh has cut a wide swath, right, so all

547
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 4: the people out in Wyoming, all the people from fireball

548
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 4: in that region who have who knew him and you know,

549
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 4: and are Bills fans. Because of that, you have to

550
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 4: feel guilty about just jumping on now. I mean it,

551
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 4: that's what it is. You pick the team you pick

552
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 4: and to go down to the Rams game was that?

553
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 4: Did the Bills win that game?

554
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 2: Or did they did?

555
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 6: It?

556
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 2: Was Ed Oliver made a big sack at the end

557
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 2: of that game. That's when they were playing the backup

558
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 2: quarterback Easton Stick. That was the game. So that was

559
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 2: twenty And.

560
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 4: To go out and to go to these far and

561
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 4: wide stadiums and see how many Bills fans show up,

562
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 4: it is pretty cool. It's very cool. So good for you,

563
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 4: rub And that is a good gift, getting tickets and

Speaker 9: Lots are tailgate.

580

Speaker 13: Yes, the tailgate that is so much fun to watch.

581
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 13: I felt bad today that that Steve was sick and

582
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 13: he couldn't be there for that family that had the

583
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 13: all the Steve Taskers stuff there. But you know, you

584
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 13: do a great program. I love your explanations and your guests.

585
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 13: Uh it really it really broadens the information that a

586
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 13: fan can have about, you know, what other people are

587
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 13: thinking or saying or doing about the bills. I just

588
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 13: I really do appreciate you. You've really been my saving grace

589
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 13: over these last few months. So you're my You're my

590
00:31:56,040 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 13: Christmas present, and I appreciate that. I would for I

591
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 13: would prefer that the NFL not do any games on Christmas.

592
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 13: I think they should follow the Hockey League has a

593
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 13: three day window where they don't have any games, because

594
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:18,360
Speaker 13: I think Christmas is the time you should be with

595
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 13: your family. And as much as football is great on Thanksgiving,

596
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 13: I don't think it should be part of Christmas. It

597
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 13: never was for a long time, and I think I

598
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 13: think it, you know, I think it's kind of backfired

599
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 13: on him this year because the games I don't think

600
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 13: are going to be the attraction you know, they were hoping.

601
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 13: But I think it's a day to be with your

602
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 13: family and to celebrate the fact that you do have

603
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 13: your family.

604
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:49,479
Speaker 14: You know.

605
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:53,720
Speaker 13: It's if I've grown older. Things like that mean a

606
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 13: lot to me. And it's the one day that I

607
00:32:56,560 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 13: don't care much care as much about football. Bills were playing. Yes,

608
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 13: I'd watched the game, but they're not. They're not, and

609
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 13: you know, you guys could all have off as well.

610
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 13: But I do appreciate, I do appreciate everything you do

611
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 13: to make your program such a wonderful way to listen to,

612
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 13: you know, things that are happening.

613
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 2: Thanks for that. Your compliments are our Christmas gift.

614
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 7: So that was very sweet of you to say that.

615

Speaker 2: Thank you very much. Those those words mean a lot,

616
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:33,760
Speaker 2: and thanks for listening, and best of luck with your rehabilitation.

617
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 2: Hopefully you'll be back to one hundred percent of a

618
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 2: healthy distant future. And Steve is going to try to

619
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 2: track down the tailgaters that he missed that are the

620
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 2: biggest tasker fans we've kind of this season.

621
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:46,360

624
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 4: may be the first home game I've missed in a

625
00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 4: long time, first game at all I've missed in a

626
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 4: long long time. And I couldn't get out out of

627
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 4: the bed. And it was the day we go to

628
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 4: this tailgate and they've got three trucks with number eighty

629
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 4: nine the whole I was gonna make it out last

630
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:09,880
Speaker 4: home game and we got caught up and I couldn't

631
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:11,880
Speaker 4: make it over there. So I'm gonna try and make

632
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:14,800
Speaker 4: a special trip over to the to the Southwestern and

633
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:18,799
Speaker 4: Abbot lot and see if I can see I don't know, text,

00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:20,239
Speaker 4: you know, tweet.

635
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:22,359

00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:24,359
Speaker 4: See if you're gonna be there. If you're not gonna

637
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 4: be there, I won't go over. But if you're gonna

638
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:27,200
Speaker 4: be there, I'm gonna try and make it over. I

639
00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:30,839
Speaker 4: can't promise it because I we got tailgate tag along

640
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:33,359
Speaker 4: stuff to do, So once we finished that, I'll try

641
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 4: and make it over there.

642
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:36,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, you've got free time before it kick out.

643
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:42,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right. And she's right that it has been

644
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 4: of late where they start putting games on Christmas. It

645
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:50,279
Speaker 4: has been in the past that Christmas was an NBA

646
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 4: and they have three games on it and they've got

647
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:57,879
Speaker 4: three days. I'm I'm okay with that. I'm you're right.

648
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:02,360
Speaker 4: It has become so quickly, it becomes so ingrained that

649
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 4: you think, Okay, we're gonna just it's going to be

650
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 4: that way forever. But you're right that the matchups are

651
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 4: less than compelling.

652
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 2: Because of the chiefly because of the injury quarterback injuries.

653
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:16,920
Speaker 2: Let's go to Liz in Buffalo.

654
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 6: What's up, Liz, Good afternoon, gentlemen, and happy holidays. I

655
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 6: had received two early Christmas presents. One was a hand

656
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:34,400
Speaker 6: crocheted coverlet bed coverlet and red, white and blue true

657
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 6: Bilks colors, and I thought that was so sweet. And

658
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 6: the other was a Christmas wreath with a snowman holding

659
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:49,840
Speaker 6: a buffalo Bills insignat of football and a paraphernalia with

660
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 6: the ornaments with Bill's logo on it. I think it's

661
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:56,960
Speaker 6: so sweet. And it's got white lights and red and

662
00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:59,880
Speaker 6: blue ornaments and I'll treasure it.

663
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:00,400

678
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:46,279
Speaker 10: Just as far as my Bills gets go, I has

679
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:48,280
Speaker 10: at the kind of thing my mother in law actually

680
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:51,400
Speaker 10: for two of them. I'm uh. She bought me a

681
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 10: bill sweatshirt, a zip on Puddy, probably about ten years ago.

682
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:58,919
Speaker 10: It's like the brightest Bill's blue I've ever seen, and

683
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:02,000
Speaker 10: I've enjoyed wearing it last about ten years. I always

684
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 10: wear it the Monday after a game, especially if we

685
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 10: get a win, just to rep the build things, sort

686
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 10: of a ritual mind. I enjoyed doing that just to say, hey,

687
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 10: we won yesterday and kind of if anybody has a

688
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:14,160
Speaker 10: problem with you can kind of throw it in their

689
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 10: face because it's so bright.

690
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:16,759
Speaker 3: So that's one gift.

691
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:21,600
Speaker 10: My other ones yet to come, just because I'm one

692
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:23,760
Speaker 10: of those people that my birthday is very close to Christmas.

693
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:26,520
Speaker 10: My birthday is actually on the twenty eighth of this month,

694
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:30,320
Speaker 10: and we're playing the Eagles. I'm gonna use my seasons.

695
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:32,439
Speaker 10: And my mother in law went again stepped in because

696
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:34,880
Speaker 10: I said, you know, what do you want for your birthday?

697
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 10: Said could you please watch my kids? So I go

698
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:39,000
Speaker 10: to the Bill's Eagles game, and that's gonna be.

699
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:40,399
Speaker 3: My uh next gift.

700
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:45,839
Speaker 10: So she's great to listen Hamburg. We travel in Uh,

701
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:47,759
Speaker 10: she can my kids can stay with her, and me

702
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:49,000
Speaker 10: and my wife can go to the game. So it's

703
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:50,920
Speaker 10: great she helps us out that all the time, so

704
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:53,840
Speaker 10: I got to thank her for that. That's that's my

705
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 10: other great gift is they get to go to the

706
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 10: game this weekend, and maybe we'll go to the last

707
00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 10: game of High Marks following weekend as well. So my uh,

708
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:04,920
Speaker 10: then I go to a couple of actually football questions.

709
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:08,719
Speaker 10: So I'm actually a little bit concerned about Josh's foot.

710
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:10,439
Speaker 10: I know we haven't really gotten into that a whole

711
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:12,480
Speaker 10: lot yet, and I'm sure we'll be updated as the

712
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 10: week goes on. I guess my main concern I was

713
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:18,240
Speaker 10: looking for your guys comments on it. In my opinion,

714
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:22,600
Speaker 10: just as far as Josh is compared to Jalen Hurts,

715
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:25,320
Speaker 10: I think Jalen Hurts is a good quarterback, but I

716
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 10: would kind of categorize him as more as like a

717
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 10: good executioner quarterback, just he executes well when he has

718
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 10: the right play. He's very athletic. I think he's I

719
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:35,960
Speaker 10: think he's a very good player, but I would see

720
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 10: Josh is more on the creative side, obviously, because he

721
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 10: can use his legs the greatest scrambling. I have some

722
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:43,759
Speaker 10: definite concerns that if that foot is really bothering him

723
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:45,960
Speaker 10: and might hurt his mobility, which is going to take

724
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:47,719
Speaker 10: away kind of a big aspect of his game, which

725
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:50,040
Speaker 10: I think he's gonna need. I think we're gonna need

726
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 10: because he might have think it a little creative to

727
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:56,360
Speaker 10: beat their defense a few times here with his scrambling

728
00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:57,920
Speaker 10: and to be able to use his legs. So I

729
00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:01,080
Speaker 10: was looking for your comments on that had update and

730
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:02,840
Speaker 10: I can hang up a list of Go Bills and

731
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:03,640
Speaker 10: Merry Christmas.

732
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:06,879
Speaker 4: Yet, Yeah, that's we don't know the extent of it.

733
00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:09,920
Speaker 4: We know he's he was limited yesterday or maybe didn't.

734
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 2: Participate participate in the walk through yesterday.

735
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 14: Uh.

736
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:16,720
Speaker 4: And you can imagine how cautious they're being with Josh

737
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:17,320
Speaker 4: and his health.

738
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:18,600
Speaker 2: Uh.

739
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:21,799
Speaker 4: And you're right, we there's no way for us to

740
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 4: know how serious that is, whether it is or it isn't.

741
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 4: He may just come out and they just may be

742
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:28,800
Speaker 4: giving him some rest here at this point of the season,

743
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:32,719
Speaker 4: or he may they may just decide, you know what,

744
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:37,640
Speaker 4: let's just wait. We don't know. But yes, the success

745
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:40,560
Speaker 4: of the Bills offense depends greatly on Josh's ability to

746
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 4: play his best.

747
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:43,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we'll have Josh's press conference a little bit

748
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 2: later on. You can hear from him. He insists he's

749
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:49,319
Speaker 2: going to be good to go uh for Sunday. But

750
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:52,680
Speaker 2: you know some people have raised this and it's it's

751
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:56,279
Speaker 2: a it's a noteworthy point. You know what the Patriots

752
00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 2: will have done because they're playing at one o'clock. Bills

753
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:03,239
Speaker 2: don't play until four twenty five on Sunday. So if

754
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:06,359
Speaker 2: they win again, I mean, yes, there is still week

755
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:10,360
Speaker 2: eighteen where they have another division game, but it's Miami

756
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:14,719
Speaker 2: up in New England. If Josh is not right, I

757
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 2: think your point is well taken because this is a

758
00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 2: team that knows how to sack the quarterback. They have

759
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:22,279
Speaker 2: a great defensive line, and if Josh can't use his

760
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:25,759
Speaker 2: own mobility to escape issues in the pocket or out

761
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:29,120
Speaker 2: in the open, you may want to protect him by

762
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:32,320
Speaker 2: sitting him down if his mobility is that compromise.

763
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:38,400
Speaker 4: If the Patriots lose to the Jets in MetLife this weekend,

764
00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:43,759
Speaker 4: you may and it is a question as to how

765
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:46,399
Speaker 4: good Josh could be without unless he gets a little

766
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:49,359
Speaker 4: more rest, you might sit him down this week knowing

767
00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:53,399
Speaker 4: that next week is a must win or it could

768
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:55,400
Speaker 4: be or could be a must win because if the

769
00:40:55,440 --> 00:41:00,120
Speaker 4: Patriots lose against the Jets, the Bills would then be

770
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:05,160
Speaker 4: at the top of the division if they win against Philly.

771
00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:09,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you wonder if that factors into the decision

772
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:12,800
Speaker 2: making that it'll be interesting to see. Gotta take a

773
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:14,640
Speaker 2: break here, more of your phone calls when we get

774
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:16,879
Speaker 2: back on this special Christmas Eve edition of One Bill's Live.

775
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:32,240
Speaker 7: Stay with us.

776
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:35,560
Speaker 2: All right back here on One Bill's Live. Chris Brown,

777
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:39,719
Speaker 2: Steve Tasker getting right back to the phones where we're

778
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:41,920
Speaker 2: asking you today on this Christmas Eve, what is the

779
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:48,480
Speaker 2: best Bills related Christmas gift you have either given or received?

780
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:52,520
Speaker 2: To Ron in Tonawanda, what's up Ron? Hi?

781
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:53,399
Speaker 16: How are you all doing?

782
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:53,960
Speaker 2: Great?

783
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:59,920
Speaker 16: Happy holidays. I've been a pill span since nineteen six.

784
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:04,320
Speaker 16: See I'm an oldie, but goodie. And finally in eighty

785
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:07,600
Speaker 16: six we got seasoned tickets when I had a job

786
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:10,360
Speaker 16: that I was going to be off every weekend, so

787
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:13,040
Speaker 16: we had them through twenty ten. So we went through

788
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:18,520
Speaker 16: the greatest then greatest years of the Bills. My favorite

789
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:24,080
Speaker 16: Bills player is Therman Thomas, and all of a sudden,

790
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:28,640
Speaker 16: on Christmas nineteen ninety, my wife gave me a real

791
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:33,719
Speaker 16: Derman Thomas Jersey. I never had any other Bills attire

792
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:38,240
Speaker 16: before that, and that had to be the greatest gift.

793
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:42,080
Speaker 16: In fact, I wear it for the opening game every year.

794
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 4: That's awesome. Awesome, man, we're gon we're gonna have Thermion

795
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:49,600
Speaker 4: with us in about ten minutes. Yeah, Thermis coming on

796
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:49,960
Speaker 4: a minute.

797
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:53,120
Speaker 16: I know I watch I watch it every time. I

798
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:57,120
Speaker 16: love seeing them on it. And now I'm so happy

799
00:42:57,239 --> 00:43:00,480
Speaker 16: that we bought our seat licenses, so we'll be starting

800
00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:02,960
Speaker 16: back again his seasons ticket holders next year.

801
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:06,719
Speaker 2: That's awesome. Yeah, that'll be great. And the Bills have

802
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:09,320
Speaker 2: a running back who's almost as good.

803
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:12,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's having a great year, an all time year

804
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:17,560
Speaker 4: for a Bill's running back. And he says it on

805
00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:20,440
Speaker 4: the two, but off the air, he's loving it. Uh,

806
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 4: Thurm's loving watching James Cook run. Yeah, he's cheering for him.

807
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:27,440
Speaker 4: And it's really cool to see a legendary player like

808
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:31,960
Speaker 4: Thurman cheer for a guy who plays his position the

809
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:33,680
Speaker 4: whole thing. It's pretty cool to see.

810
00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:35,440
Speaker 2: So Ron, thanks for the call. Didn't mean to cut

811
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:36,759
Speaker 2: you off, but we got a lot of people waiting,

812
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:38,120
Speaker 2: so we got to move along here. So have a

813
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:41,440
Speaker 2: merry Christmas and on to Cameron in West Seneca. What's up, Cameron?

814
00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:43,960
Speaker 17: All the New One guys married Christmas?

815
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:45,480
Speaker 4: Ry Christmas.

816
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:49,960
Speaker 17: Speaking of running backs, I got a president I think

817
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:54,000
Speaker 17: it was four or five years ago, and Fred Jackson

818
00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:56,080
Speaker 17: it was the last time he played, and it was

819
00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:59,880
Speaker 17: about twenty players that signed one hat and I still

820
00:43:59,880 --> 00:44:02,719
Speaker 17: have it to this day in a glass case. And

821
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:05,480
Speaker 17: my girlfriend tells me I should sell it, and I'm like,

822
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:09,080
Speaker 17: I will never sell this ever, but yeah, that's my gift.

823
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:11,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it. Did you get all those autographs yourself?

824
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:13,400
Speaker 1: Or did No?

825
00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:16,759
Speaker 17: My dad he got it for me for my Oh

826
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:17,759
Speaker 17: awesome Christmas.

827
00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:20,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean awesome. That was a team that

828
00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:25,520
Speaker 2: you know, obviously never made the playoffs. But I still say,

829
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:32,480
Speaker 2: like in the drought era, that fits Fred Jackson, Stevie Johnson.

830
00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:37,839
Speaker 2: You know that crew is still beloved. Like I just

831
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:42,080
Speaker 2: think that that team as far as the drought era

832
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:46,200
Speaker 2: is concerned, all seventeen years, that group there between like

833
00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:51,600
Speaker 2: twenty ten to twenty twelve is easily during the drought era,

834
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:56,120
Speaker 2: the most beloved team of that stretch. People still talk

835
00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:59,840
Speaker 2: about those players fondly because they played hard and I

836
00:44:59,840 --> 00:45:01,760
Speaker 2: think I think they were the first group that really

837
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:06,040
Speaker 2: interacted with the fan base in a way that we

838
00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:08,960
Speaker 2: had not seen before. That was the dawn of social media,

839
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:14,080
Speaker 2: and so I just think that group really just connected

840
00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:17,279
Speaker 2: in a special way with the fan base, even though

841
00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:20,120
Speaker 2: they weren't any more successful really than any of the

842
00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:26,000
Speaker 2: other drought era teams. Yeah, they're remembered. Finally, to Bobby

843
00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:28,120
Speaker 2: and Buffalo, let's punch him up here. What do you

844
00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:28,960
Speaker 2: got for his Bobby?

845
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:31,279
Speaker 18: Hey, how you doing, guys?

846
00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:31,400
Speaker 5: Go?

847
00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:34,480
Speaker 18: First of all, I want to beat you guys. Blessings

848
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:38,759
Speaker 18: and holiday greetings from myself to you guys family. That's

849
00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:41,720
Speaker 18: number one and number two the answer to the question,

850
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:49,440
Speaker 18: I have two Builds related gifts that I've received. First

851
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:53,839
Speaker 18: of all, number one, back in nineteen ninety Okay, in

852
00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:56,680
Speaker 18: the month of February, because my birthday is in February,

853
00:45:57,760 --> 00:46:03,080
Speaker 18: I got a surprise birthday present from my mother, Okay,

854
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:05,960
Speaker 18: and my mother handed me an envelope and said, open

855
00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:09,600
Speaker 18: up the envelope, okay, and inside the envelope. Back in

856
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:14,799
Speaker 18: nineteen ninety, I received Buffalo Bill's season tickets. This is

857
00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:17,120
Speaker 18: the very first year that the Bills went to the

858
00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:21,240
Speaker 18: Super Bowl. When they went to Super Bowl twenty five. Okay,

859
00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:24,600
Speaker 18: that was my first. That was my first gift. The

860
00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:29,560
Speaker 18: second gift I received about I would say about maybe

861
00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:33,720
Speaker 18: two years ago from the pastor of my church. Okay.

862
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:37,120
Speaker 18: The pastor of my church is a huge Bills fan,

863
00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:42,520
Speaker 18: huge Okay, and the present he gave me. I opened

864
00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:47,000
Speaker 18: up the gift and it was an authentic Buffalo Bills

865
00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:49,400
Speaker 18: in Victor watch.

866
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:50,160
Speaker 7: Wow.

867
00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:53,560
Speaker 18: This is the very first time I ever seen of

868
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:58,279
Speaker 18: Buffalo Bills in Victor Watch. Okay. And to this day

869
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:02,520
Speaker 18: I still have that watch. I wear it. I wear

870
00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:06,319
Speaker 18: it almost all the time. Yeah, okay, And those are

871
00:47:06,440 --> 00:47:09,920
Speaker 18: my best Bills related Christmas gifts that I've ever received.

872
00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:13,680
Speaker 18: Very nice, all right, God bless guys. Merry Christmas.

873
00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:16,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, Mary, thanks Bobby and your family too. Bobby, appreciate that.

874
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:19,360
Speaker 2: Let's go to Dale in Ontario next. What do you

875
00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:20,040
Speaker 2: offer as Dale?

876
00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:25,680
Speaker 19: Hey, guys, appreciate you guys, and Merry Christmas and all

877
00:47:25,719 --> 00:47:32,120
Speaker 19: the best. In twenty twenty six, the best gift I've

878
00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:37,719
Speaker 19: received was a VHS tape called in Christ Alone The

879
00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:41,920
Speaker 19: Story behind the Song, and it's a story about Frank

880
00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:47,719
Speaker 19: Wright at the comeback game against Houston, and he recited

881
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:50,160
Speaker 19: he made a bout on the way to the stadium

882
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:54,560
Speaker 19: that day, he says to share the words of that

883
00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:55,760
Speaker 19: song with someone.

884
00:47:56,680 --> 00:47:57,080
Speaker 5: And so.

885
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:02,160
Speaker 19: As the game was uping away from the Bills that day,

886
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:08,080
Speaker 19: he was pacing the sidelines reciting the words to that song,

887
00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:17,000
Speaker 19: and the comeback happened. He's asked to come to the mic,

888
00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:22,320
Speaker 19: and he recited the words to that song after the game.

889
00:48:22,520 --> 00:48:27,279
Speaker 19: And it's the story of Frank Reich what the song

890
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:31,920
Speaker 19: meant to Frank Reich and Michael English, the singer of

891
00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:36,960
Speaker 19: that song, Uh and apprised. Uh, you know part of

892
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:43,760
Speaker 19: the that collection. I guess I have a question about

893
00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:49,759
Speaker 19: the defense. So the season starts with I know, the

894
00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:56,160
Speaker 19: Bills brought in a couple coaches who were more manned

895
00:48:56,160 --> 00:48:57,560
Speaker 19: A man a.

896
00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:01,400
Speaker 2: Related yeah, for the defensive.

897
00:49:01,320 --> 00:49:05,120
Speaker 19: All the season goes on and I have found this

898
00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:11,719
Speaker 19: season frustrating, just you know, with the defense. So you know,

899
00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:15,840
Speaker 19: the Kansas City game, I know they confused Mahomes and

900
00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:21,200
Speaker 19: won that game, good job, But during that time of

901
00:49:21,239 --> 00:49:28,000
Speaker 19: the season, I saw players shrugged their shoulders at one

902
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:32,920
Speaker 19: another like they don't know what they're doing, and the

903
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:37,000
Speaker 19: defense just doesn't seem the same. Can you help me understand,

904
00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:41,000
Speaker 19: Like what has happened with this defense.

905
00:49:43,040 --> 00:49:47,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, fair enough, Dale, we're up against the break. We'll

906
00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:49,680
Speaker 2: try to address it in the next segment for you.

907
00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:52,120
Speaker 2: I actually think the defense has kind of tightened things

908
00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:55,000
Speaker 2: up to some extent. I think they've done better job

909
00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:58,520
Speaker 2: of tackling although last week probably not so much. It

910
00:49:58,600 --> 00:50:02,560
Speaker 2: kind of slipped a little bit. I think they've been

911
00:50:02,840 --> 00:50:06,200
Speaker 2: dramatically short on manpower all season long due to injury

912
00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:10,080
Speaker 2: that has compromised not only their effectiveness but their consistency

913
00:50:10,120 --> 00:50:12,680
Speaker 2: of play from week to week. But we can get

914
00:50:12,719 --> 00:50:14,680
Speaker 2: into some more of the details when we come back,

915
00:50:14,719 --> 00:50:17,000
Speaker 2: because our number two are gonna begin with the Hall

916
00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:19,200
Speaker 2: of Famer Thurmon Thomas. We'll do that when we return

917
00:50:19,239 --> 00:50:20,160
Speaker 2: here on One Bill's Live.

918

00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:46,240
Speaker 20: Because I pretty much okay, oh yeah, but I already

933
00:51:46,320 --> 00:51:48,640
Speaker 20: liked today. Yeah, I already have my stuff like picked out.

00:51:50,680 --> 00:51:52,319

936
00:51:52,320 --> 00:51:52,680
Speaker 20: looking for.

937
00:51:52,760 --> 00:51:56,000
Speaker 2: I was telling Steve yesterday one of my friend's dads

938
00:51:56,520 --> 00:52:01,320
Speaker 2: every year would wait until Christmas Eve then start shopping

939
00:52:01,719 --> 00:52:05,120
Speaker 2: like he liked the pressure. I was like, I don't

940
00:52:05,120 --> 00:52:07,160
Speaker 2: know if I'm living that way. Aren't you supposed to

00:52:14,080 --> 00:52:17,680

Speaker 4: All right, Yeah I thought you might like that.

Speaker 20: Yeah, she does all of that, She handles all of that,

949
00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:33,040
Speaker 20: and man, it's wow.

950
00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:34,560
Speaker 4: Yes, I thank you.

951
00:52:36,040 --> 00:52:38,719
Speaker 2: One guy who has done a heck of a good

952
00:52:38,800 --> 00:52:42,080
Speaker 2: job of giving everybody a lot of smiles. Among Bill's

953
00:52:42,080 --> 00:52:45,440
Speaker 2: mafia is one James Cook, who is now up over

954
00:52:45,680 --> 00:52:50,640
Speaker 2: fifteen hundred rushing yards in just fifteen games. There it's

955
00:52:50,680 --> 00:52:53,200
Speaker 2: not like this is a guy that's, you know, benefiting

956
00:52:53,200 --> 00:52:56,080
Speaker 2: from two extra games. He had fifteen hundred and fifteen

957
00:52:56,160 --> 00:52:57,440
Speaker 2: games games.

958
00:52:57,920 --> 00:52:59,439
Speaker 3: He's been unbelievable, man.

959
00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:02,800
Speaker 20: And I mean it's you know, obviously you know Josh

960
00:53:02,920 --> 00:53:05,160
Speaker 20: is the guy, but I mean he has held his

961
00:53:05,239 --> 00:53:07,720
Speaker 20: own this year with you know, when stacking up against

962
00:53:07,760 --> 00:53:09,560
Speaker 20: other running backs in the National Football League.

963
00:53:09,760 --> 00:53:12,440
Speaker 3: First it with Jonathan Taylor, and you know, I.

964
00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:13,359
Speaker 2: Thought he was past him.

965
00:53:13,400 --> 00:53:14,920
Speaker 20: Now, yeah, I thought he was gonna run away with

966
00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:18,560
Speaker 20: the Russian title, you know. So, but that's when he

967
00:53:19,320 --> 00:53:21,799
Speaker 20: when he had Daniel Jones, everything was going smooth. And

968
00:53:21,840 --> 00:53:26,600
Speaker 20: after that defense box just hating the box and uh so, yeah,

969
00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:29,560
Speaker 20: I mean he's done an outstanding job, man, and uh

970
00:53:29,800 --> 00:53:30,759
Speaker 20: just so proud of him.

971
00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:30,920
Speaker 3: Man.

972
00:53:30,960 --> 00:53:33,759
Speaker 20: He's you know, he doesn't say too much, but I

973
00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:36,880
Speaker 20: did see some type of article where he's been more

974
00:53:37,440 --> 00:53:40,520
Speaker 20: more of a leader, and I think that's I think

975
00:53:40,560 --> 00:53:43,000
Speaker 20: that's really because the other guys are seeing him like

976
00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:44,360
Speaker 20: he's coming out of his shell.

977
00:53:44,560 --> 00:53:47,080
Speaker 3: Like, this is not something that we usually see.

978
00:53:47,120 --> 00:53:50,799
Speaker 20: So as a player, as a teammate, I'm like, man,

979
00:53:50,920 --> 00:53:53,600
Speaker 20: if he's going and he's fired up like that, you know,

980
00:53:53,680 --> 00:53:55,640
Speaker 20: it goes along to the other players.

981
00:53:55,640 --> 00:53:58,040
Speaker 2: Through just having been at every game home and away.

982
00:53:58,239 --> 00:54:02,759
Speaker 2: There will be times during broadcast timeouts where I will

983
00:54:02,760 --> 00:54:04,680
Speaker 2: see you know, and the offenses on the field waiting

984
00:54:04,680 --> 00:54:05,960
Speaker 2: for the TV time out to get like you know

985
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:10,960
Speaker 2: what I mean, And I will see James like demonstrably

986
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:13,400
Speaker 2: talking to guys in the huddle there or you know,

987
00:54:13,440 --> 00:54:15,920
Speaker 2: smacking a guy on a bud or whatever. And then

988
00:54:16,480 --> 00:54:19,480
Speaker 2: if we remember back to the Pittsburgh game where Ryan

989
00:54:19,600 --> 00:54:23,879
Speaker 2: Vandermark and Alec Anderson had to start a tackle, they

990
00:54:24,280 --> 00:54:27,479
Speaker 2: mentioned that the night before or the morning of the game,

991
00:54:27,520 --> 00:54:32,719
Speaker 2: I think it was, James texted both of them and said,

992
00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:36,840
Speaker 2: let's go get this win. I believe in you. Like

993
00:54:37,320 --> 00:54:40,000
Speaker 2: three years ago, that was unheard of from James Cook,

994
00:54:40,600 --> 00:54:42,640
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. So I think you're right

995
00:54:42,680 --> 00:54:44,360
Speaker 2: he has grown into it.

996
00:54:44,480 --> 00:54:46,880
Speaker 20: And the fact that you know, these are two guys

997
00:54:46,920 --> 00:54:51,080
Speaker 20: who are getting their first starts and he's texting them,

998
00:54:51,520 --> 00:54:56,040
Speaker 20: I mean, so pretty much everybody everybody's number, yeah to

999
00:54:56,880 --> 00:54:59,000
Speaker 20: you know, just to send a text message would admit

1000
00:54:59,160 --> 00:55:02,359
Speaker 20: a lot to those guys, you know, so now they're

1001
00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:04,680
Speaker 20: ready to go and like, yeah, let's do this, and yeah,

1002
00:55:04,680 --> 00:55:08,680
Speaker 20: I mean he's he's become an unbelievable quiet leader, you know.

1003
00:55:08,880 --> 00:55:10,439
Speaker 3: Yeah uh so uh yeah.

1004
00:55:10,600 --> 00:55:13,080
Speaker 20: But you know to have that guy in Josh on

1005
00:55:13,120 --> 00:55:15,759
Speaker 20: your on your side, like the top two leaders, you know,

1006
00:55:15,840 --> 00:55:18,600
Speaker 20: on offense, and they're going like that, I mean that

1007
00:55:18,840 --> 00:55:19,400
Speaker 20: it's awesome.

1008
00:55:21,320 --> 00:55:23,560
Speaker 3: I've been saying it for a number of years.

1009
00:55:23,560 --> 00:55:27,600
Speaker 20: Man, Like this guy special, Like even from him coming

1010
00:55:27,600 --> 00:55:30,480
Speaker 20: from the University of Georgia, like, I've seen what type

1011
00:55:30,520 --> 00:55:32,480
Speaker 20: of player that he was. When we got him, I

1012
00:55:32,560 --> 00:55:35,960
Speaker 20: was like, oh my, I'm telling you, like this guy is.

1013
00:55:36,520 --> 00:55:39,160
Speaker 3: He's been amazing and.

1014
00:55:38,360 --> 00:55:40,600
Speaker 4: He's been better for the Bills than he was for

1015
00:55:40,680 --> 00:55:43,080
Speaker 4: the Georgia Bulldog. Yeah, he was well, well Georgia, they

1016
00:55:43,080 --> 00:55:45,560
Speaker 4: had everybody well and they got like two hundred guys

1017
00:55:45,560 --> 00:55:48,600
Speaker 4: on the ross. You know, it's like five got five

1018
00:55:48,680 --> 00:55:51,120
Speaker 4: running backs they rotate. But he has been way better

1019
00:55:51,120 --> 00:55:52,880
Speaker 4: for the Buffalo Bills than he was even as a

1020
00:55:52,880 --> 00:55:55,160
Speaker 4: as a running back for the Bulldogs. And I think

1021
00:55:55,320 --> 00:55:58,040
Speaker 4: to this year too, because of the opportunities. Of course,

1022
00:55:59,280 --> 00:56:02,480
Speaker 4: you've got a chance to see what it's like when

1023
00:56:02,480 --> 00:56:04,359
Speaker 4: he does carry the way he's up.

1024
00:56:04,520 --> 00:56:05,319
Speaker 3: He's up to.

1025
00:56:05,440 --> 00:56:08,080
Speaker 4: We had questions, right, he's one hundred ninety pounds. He's

1026
00:56:08,160 --> 00:56:10,080
Speaker 4: kind of a scat back. He's more of a receiving

1027
00:56:10,800 --> 00:56:13,239
Speaker 4: he carries a load, carries a load.

1028
00:56:13,320 --> 00:56:15,920
Speaker 20: Yeah, And I think it's when and as you go

1029
00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:18,600
Speaker 20: back and you watch some of the games or whatever, like, man,

1030
00:56:18,640 --> 00:56:23,280
Speaker 20: you like this guy never falls backwards. He's always falling forward,

1031
00:56:23,800 --> 00:56:27,200
Speaker 20: always falling forward all the time. And uh, I think

1032
00:56:27,200 --> 00:56:30,880
Speaker 20: that's you know, he's really kind of put the physicality

1033
00:56:30,880 --> 00:56:32,719
Speaker 20: in that one hundred and ninety pound body here.

1034
00:56:32,760 --> 00:56:34,680
Speaker 3: I mean, he's been playing really tough this year.

1035
00:56:34,760 --> 00:56:35,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, all season long.

1036
00:56:35,920 --> 00:56:38,480
Speaker 20: And it's not just been the twin it's been the

1037
00:56:38,560 --> 00:56:40,920
Speaker 20: three and four yeard games where you know, at the

1038
00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:44,000
Speaker 20: end of the run, you know he's you know, he's yeah,

1039
00:56:44,040 --> 00:56:46,279
Speaker 20: he's knocking it a little extra on it to the

1040
00:56:46,280 --> 00:56:48,239
Speaker 20: defensive backs and the linebackers of the show.

1041
00:56:48,320 --> 00:56:49,400
Speaker 3: So that's that's awesome.

1042
00:56:49,520 --> 00:56:52,040
Speaker 2: What do you What do you make of the game

1043
00:56:52,080 --> 00:56:54,720
Speaker 2: this weekend? Because Philadelphia, to try to get their offense

1044
00:56:54,800 --> 00:56:58,759
Speaker 2: back on track, has leaned more on Saquon Barkley right

1045
00:56:58,880 --> 00:57:02,960
Speaker 2: to kind of carry the load for them. Are you

1046
00:57:03,040 --> 00:57:06,000
Speaker 2: expecting this to be a rock fight where these two

1047
00:57:06,040 --> 00:57:07,960
Speaker 2: teams are just mashing on each other with the run

1048
00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:08,800
Speaker 2: game here early?

1049
00:57:08,920 --> 00:57:11,640
Speaker 3: Or I mean I would love to see it.

1050
00:57:15,080 --> 00:57:16,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, this exciting game.

1051
00:57:16,920 --> 00:57:22,280
Speaker 20: Yeah, I mean yeah. Let the running backs have like

1052
00:57:22,360 --> 00:57:27,600
Speaker 20: thirty five Carris right up here, right, you are a

1053
00:57:27,640 --> 00:57:28,960
Speaker 20: horrible football fan.

1054
00:57:29,080 --> 00:57:36,000
Speaker 1: Oh my god, gold on that run around fifty four.

1055
00:57:36,200 --> 00:57:38,080
Speaker 4: Hold on, now, I'll do past team with the ball

1056
00:57:38,160 --> 00:57:39,160
Speaker 4: wins it and it's us.

1057
00:57:39,640 --> 00:57:42,880
Speaker 2: I'll defend Thurman here a little bit because I think

1058
00:57:42,880 --> 00:57:46,320
Speaker 2: we know these two running backs, these two running backs

1059
00:57:46,800 --> 00:57:49,880
Speaker 2: in the course of a game, are probably going to

1060
00:57:49,920 --> 00:57:52,320
Speaker 2: bust a thirty forty yard you know, So it's not

1061
00:57:52,480 --> 00:57:55,240
Speaker 2: just going to be three four yards all day long.

1062
00:57:56,280 --> 00:57:59,480
Speaker 2: We know the struggles the Bills have on defense stopping

1063
00:57:59,520 --> 00:58:02,400
Speaker 2: the run, and and the Eagles not for nothing. I mean,

1064
00:58:02,600 --> 00:58:05,240
Speaker 2: they're twenty first in the league against the run. They've

1065
00:58:05,280 --> 00:58:07,640
Speaker 2: got elite talent on that side of the ball, but

1066
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:10,439
Speaker 2: they've had guys in and out of the lineup, and

1067
00:58:10,680 --> 00:58:14,200
Speaker 2: they just have not been consistent week to week. So

1068
00:58:15,560 --> 00:58:16,800
Speaker 2: I think they can get got too.

1069
00:58:17,440 --> 00:58:21,880
Speaker 20: Let's let's throw away the Jalen Hurts versus Josh Allen,

1070
00:58:22,360 --> 00:58:26,560
Speaker 20: thing and be Sakwon Bart Barkley and James Hook because

1071
00:58:26,600 --> 00:58:28,640
Speaker 20: that's that's come on.

1072
00:58:28,960 --> 00:58:31,600
Speaker 3: Two physical football team. That's what you want to see.

1073
00:58:31,880 --> 00:58:33,640
Speaker 4: I know you you're gonna say yes, but I'm gonna

1074
00:58:33,640 --> 00:58:36,640
Speaker 4: ask you anyway, yes at this point in history, because

1075
00:58:36,640 --> 00:58:38,919
Speaker 4: we know the game evolves, and for a long time

1076
00:58:38,960 --> 00:58:40,400
Speaker 4: it was you got to have a big you know,

1077
00:58:41,080 --> 00:58:45,080
Speaker 4: the guy outside, and certainly the Eagles do in aj Brown.

1078
00:58:45,120 --> 00:58:46,800
Speaker 4: The Bills have been you know, they don't have a

1079
00:58:46,800 --> 00:58:50,600
Speaker 4: big ex receiver. They're looking for one. And is it

1080
00:58:50,680 --> 00:58:53,120
Speaker 4: at this point in history? Is it more important or

1081
00:58:53,160 --> 00:58:57,280
Speaker 4: as important or because but these two teams had real

1082
00:58:57,360 --> 00:59:01,440
Speaker 4: high expectations running back quarterback in the league that throws

1083
00:59:01,480 --> 00:59:05,560
Speaker 4: the football. Uh, these two teams having those two guys

1084
00:59:05,600 --> 00:59:08,360
Speaker 4: on each side of the you know, them having Jalen

1085
00:59:08,800 --> 00:59:12,640
Speaker 4: and Saquon and the Bills having Cook and Allen, do

1086
00:59:12,680 --> 00:59:14,680
Speaker 4: you think it says something about what it takes to

1087
00:59:14,720 --> 00:59:17,439
Speaker 4: be successful in the league. I mean, because these two

1088
00:59:17,440 --> 00:59:19,080
Speaker 4: teams are right there, and you look at other teams

1089
00:59:19,080 --> 00:59:22,400
Speaker 4: that are successful, not all of them, right, not all.

1090
00:59:22,320 --> 00:59:24,280
Speaker 3: Of them have it, No, not all of them.

1091
00:59:24,400 --> 00:59:27,080
Speaker 20: I mean it's it's almost kind of like what we're

1092
00:59:27,120 --> 00:59:29,439
Speaker 20: going to do. It's it's almost kind of like we're

1093
00:59:29,440 --> 00:59:31,600
Speaker 20: going back to the early nineties.

1094
00:59:31,880 --> 00:59:36,760
Speaker 2: Well, it's the league is cyclical, as we know, right, Like,

1095
00:59:37,120 --> 00:59:40,040
Speaker 2: you know, you got an offense out there that's spreading

1096
00:59:40,080 --> 00:59:43,040
Speaker 2: people out, so defenses react to that and get small

1097
00:59:43,080 --> 00:59:44,400
Speaker 2: and fast guys out there to.

1098
00:59:44,520 --> 00:59:45,120
Speaker 3: Cover every cover.

1099
00:59:45,720 --> 00:59:48,400
Speaker 2: And then the offense says, well, we got all these

1100
00:59:48,440 --> 00:59:51,040
Speaker 2: fast guys out there, let's beef up, you know, and

1101
00:59:51,120 --> 00:59:52,880
Speaker 2: let's start pounding the heck out of them. And then

1102
00:59:52,920 --> 00:59:55,000
Speaker 2: the defense goes, but wait, let's get some big guys.

1103
00:59:55,000 --> 00:59:56,000
Speaker 4: We need big guys.

1104
00:59:56,320 --> 00:59:58,320
Speaker 2: And I think we're kind of in that transition.

1105
00:59:59,360 --> 01:00:01,080
Speaker 20: Yeah, And I think I said that a couple of

1106
01:00:01,160 --> 01:00:03,200
Speaker 20: years ago because I mean, just think about if we're

1107
01:00:03,200 --> 01:00:06,400
Speaker 20: coming off the Drew Brees, Tom Brady Peyton Manner just

1108
01:00:06,760 --> 01:00:09,600
Speaker 20: throwing the football, so you're trying to get those guys.

1109
01:00:09,880 --> 01:00:13,280
Speaker 3: Out the field and for six thousands, right exactly.

1110
01:00:13,520 --> 01:00:16,720
Speaker 20: So now guys still have those type of like I

1111
01:00:16,800 --> 01:00:19,480
Speaker 20: used to call him, like Jason Taylor type guys out there,

1112
01:00:19,880 --> 01:00:22,480
Speaker 20: and now he's going against a left tackle who's three

1113
01:00:22,640 --> 01:00:25,280
Speaker 20: thirty making work over there.

1114
01:00:25,360 --> 01:00:27,120
Speaker 3: There's a problem over there. And I think that's why.

1115
01:00:27,200 --> 01:00:30,720
Speaker 20: Yeah, because the league change and now it's going back

1116
01:00:30,760 --> 01:00:33,000
Speaker 20: to being like, okay, well we got to get some

1117
01:00:33,080 --> 01:00:36,520
Speaker 20: guys who are like maybe like a Cornadian's Bennet that

1118
01:00:36,960 --> 01:00:40,000
Speaker 20: can't run and cover a guy but also play the run.

1119
01:00:39,920 --> 01:00:45,520
Speaker 4: Very well, give me six of those, right, right exactly.

1120
01:00:47,000 --> 01:00:51,280
Speaker 4: But you're right, it is to the point where it's

1121
01:00:51,520 --> 01:00:54,680
Speaker 4: always and always will be a matchup league. So when

1122
01:00:54,720 --> 01:00:57,720
Speaker 4: you get so many teams out there that have two

1123
01:00:57,800 --> 01:01:01,440
Speaker 4: hundred and twenty five pounds line and you got three

1124
01:01:01,520 --> 01:01:05,280
Speaker 4: hundred and thirty five pound guards, yeah, there's there's one

1125
01:01:05,280 --> 01:01:07,400
Speaker 4: thing you got to try every game, right, But this

1126
01:01:07,560 --> 01:01:12,920
Speaker 4: also comes guys like Jalen Carter, who's you know, fifteen

1127
01:01:13,080 --> 01:01:15,160
Speaker 4: six six three fifteen, you know, one of those dudes

1128
01:01:16,360 --> 01:01:20,720
Speaker 4: to protect those light linebackers. It just becomes a it's

1129
01:01:20,760 --> 01:01:23,120
Speaker 4: always a match up league. And when you can win

1130
01:01:23,200 --> 01:01:26,680
Speaker 4: more and more matchups throughout an eighteen game regular season,

1131
01:01:26,720 --> 01:01:28,840
Speaker 4: I mean that's you know, that's the trend you see

1132
01:01:28,840 --> 01:01:29,360
Speaker 4: in the league.

1133
01:01:29,560 --> 01:01:31,360
Speaker 20: And you know what, but in a couple of years

1134
01:01:31,400 --> 01:01:33,520
Speaker 20: it might be flipped back the other way.

1135
01:01:34,080 --> 01:01:35,640
Speaker 3: It might be flipped back the other way.

1136
01:01:35,840 --> 01:01:38,240
Speaker 4: That's why. Yeah, that's right. And when the league does

1137
01:01:38,240 --> 01:01:40,120
Speaker 4: that a couple of years. I mean, when you get

1138
01:01:40,160 --> 01:01:42,200
Speaker 4: guys that and that's always been the trump card for

1139
01:01:42,320 --> 01:01:45,160
Speaker 4: respect in the locker rooms, right, the long if you

1140
01:01:45,160 --> 01:01:49,360
Speaker 4: can play a long time, young players coming in go wow, man,

1141
01:01:49,400 --> 01:01:52,520
Speaker 4: how how do you sur what do you do? What

1142
01:01:52,560 --> 01:01:55,240
Speaker 4: do you do? They just watch them, watch them, And

1143
01:01:55,240 --> 01:01:56,840
Speaker 4: when that guy say, you know, when you get a

1144
01:01:56,840 --> 01:02:00,200
Speaker 4: guy like you know there's played a long time, and

1145
01:02:00,640 --> 01:02:02,960
Speaker 4: they said, well, here's what I'm thinking about is that,

1146
01:02:03,000 --> 01:02:04,960
Speaker 4: And all guys are like you can hear a pin drop,

1147
01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:08,760
Speaker 4: people like, you know, how'd you do it? I remember

1148
01:02:08,800 --> 01:02:12,240
Speaker 4: we had Art Still come to our team. Art Still,

1149
01:02:12,640 --> 01:02:14,880
Speaker 4: Art Still came to our team as eleven or twelve

1150
01:02:15,000 --> 01:02:20,120
Speaker 4: year guy and from Kansas City Chiefs and Big six

1151
01:02:20,280 --> 01:02:28,000
Speaker 4: eight dudes. Dude, yeah right, and everybody's like, wow, Art,

1152
01:02:28,040 --> 01:02:29,920
Speaker 4: how long are you gonna play? How long? And he

1153
01:02:29,960 --> 01:02:31,880
Speaker 4: was always playing it off right, and then finally they

1154
01:02:31,920 --> 01:02:33,640
Speaker 4: go Art, how long? And he goes, well, he goes,

1155
01:02:33,640 --> 01:02:35,600
Speaker 4: I'll tell you how long. He goes, here's how long

1156
01:02:35,640 --> 01:02:38,520
Speaker 4: you have to play? And everything got really quiet. Was

1157
01:02:38,520 --> 01:02:41,560
Speaker 4: on a plane and Art said you play as long

1158
01:02:41,840 --> 01:02:48,160
Speaker 4: as you possibly can, and then played one more year. Yeah,

1159
01:02:48,240 --> 01:02:50,000
Speaker 4: you play as long as you possibly can and then

1160
01:02:50,800 --> 01:02:53,760
Speaker 4: one more year. Yeah, that's what that's the lot it.

1161
01:02:53,760 --> 01:02:57,040
Speaker 4: It really is about survival. But you get guys who

1162
01:02:57,040 --> 01:02:59,280
Speaker 4: are get to enact for and I don't mean just

1163
01:02:59,280 --> 01:03:02,800
Speaker 4: being tough enough to live through it, but figuring it out,

1164
01:03:02,840 --> 01:03:04,720
Speaker 4: figuring it out the way to stay in the league

1165
01:03:04,760 --> 01:03:05,440
Speaker 4: and be productive.

1166
01:03:05,560 --> 01:03:09,320
Speaker 2: Absolutely, last thing on James Cook before we move on

1167
01:03:09,400 --> 01:03:12,440
Speaker 2: to end of season and when to play guys, when

1168
01:03:12,480 --> 01:03:16,120
Speaker 2: to rest them for playoffs. Steve and I discussed this

1169
01:03:16,200 --> 01:03:19,320
Speaker 2: on our podcast last week. Bills by the numbers, the

1170
01:03:19,360 --> 01:03:25,040
Speaker 2: merits of Cook's numbers for Offensive Player of the Year consideration. He's,

1171
01:03:25,280 --> 01:03:27,480
Speaker 2: as we know, leading the league in rushing right now,

1172
01:03:28,240 --> 01:03:31,280
Speaker 2: fourth in the league in total yards from scrimmage. Among

1173
01:03:31,400 --> 01:03:34,920
Speaker 2: the candidates considered for Offensive Player of the Year, Cook,

1174
01:03:35,400 --> 01:03:39,480
Speaker 2: Jonathan Taylor, and then there are some other players like

1175
01:03:39,600 --> 01:03:43,280
Speaker 2: Christian McCaffery who has a boatload of receiving yards. Bjeon

1176
01:03:43,400 --> 01:03:46,120
Speaker 2: Robinson just went over two thousand total yards from scrimmage

1177
01:03:46,160 --> 01:03:48,440
Speaker 2: last week, but he plays on a crumby team. And

1178
01:03:48,480 --> 01:03:51,200
Speaker 2: then there's Jackson Smith and Jigba out in Seattle who's

1179
01:03:51,280 --> 01:03:54,000
Speaker 2: rolling up receiving yardage like it's going out of style.

1180
01:03:54,160 --> 01:03:57,919
Speaker 2: So what do you think the chances are for Cook here,

1181
01:03:58,240 --> 01:04:00,360
Speaker 2: especially if he can finish as the rushing leader.

1182
01:04:00,760 --> 01:04:03,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think his chances are good for it.

1183
01:04:03,440 --> 01:04:06,800
Speaker 20: Yeah, I love the chances because I mean, you have

1184
01:04:07,200 --> 01:04:12,160
Speaker 20: a guy who's putting up numbers against and he's playing

1185
01:04:12,160 --> 01:04:14,600
Speaker 20: with the MVP of the league last year, and he's

1186
01:04:14,600 --> 01:04:17,280
Speaker 20: putting up these numbers way better than any numbers that

1187
01:04:17,360 --> 01:04:19,720
Speaker 20: he had last year, you know, So they really have

1188
01:04:19,880 --> 01:04:24,240
Speaker 20: put the offense on his shoulders, as to say, and uh, yeah, hey,

1189
01:04:24,240 --> 01:04:28,800
Speaker 20: look if he doesn't win some type of award this year, yeah,

1190
01:04:29,320 --> 01:04:32,520
Speaker 20: I don't know, but in my book, and I think

1191
01:04:32,520 --> 01:04:36,960
Speaker 20: and everybody didn't, that's a Bill's mafia. They know what

1192
01:04:37,000 --> 01:04:39,360
Speaker 20: they have. Yeah, yeah, and they would love to see it.

1193
01:04:39,360 --> 01:04:41,440
Speaker 20: I mean certainly think I would love for him to

1194
01:04:41,440 --> 01:04:43,720
Speaker 20: get it. I certainly think he's in the All Pro.

1195
01:04:44,600 --> 01:04:46,960
Speaker 20: He's definitely gonna be first team All proa Yeah, so

1196
01:04:47,120 --> 01:04:50,840
Speaker 20: that snailed down Pro Bowl has already been settled. But yeah,

1197
01:04:51,120 --> 01:04:53,760
Speaker 20: offensive Player of the Year like the guy in Seattle

1198
01:04:53,840 --> 01:04:54,480
Speaker 20: scares me too.

1199
01:04:56,120 --> 01:04:58,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, because they throwed him. Yeah, they don't matter. They

1200
01:04:58,960 --> 01:05:00,480
Speaker 4: throwed him on the bus, right.

1201
01:05:00,880 --> 01:05:03,800
Speaker 2: So yeah, and he had that big comeback. I mean

1202
01:05:03,960 --> 01:05:06,640
Speaker 2: the comeback effort they had last week. That's one of

1203
01:05:06,640 --> 01:05:08,680
Speaker 2: the only guys they were throwing to, right, you know,

1204
01:05:08,720 --> 01:05:13,760
Speaker 2: when they came back on the Rams. He's a special player.

1205
01:05:14,720 --> 01:05:16,760
Speaker 2: Theurm where you got two games left in the regular

1206
01:05:16,880 --> 01:05:21,840
Speaker 2: season and there's still some things to chase, like the

1207
01:05:21,880 --> 01:05:25,600
Speaker 2: best seed in the wild card. The division title is

1208
01:05:25,760 --> 01:05:28,200
Speaker 2: a little slim in terms of the hopes of getting

1209
01:05:28,240 --> 01:05:32,680
Speaker 2: that because they need help. But the AFC wildcard race

1210
01:05:32,760 --> 01:05:35,560
Speaker 2: is very tight right now. The Chargers are ahead of

1211
01:05:35,560 --> 01:05:38,040
Speaker 2: the Bills on tiebreaker. They're the fifth seed, Bills of

1212
01:05:38,080 --> 01:05:40,200
Speaker 2: the sixth seed, and the Texans are right behind the

1213
01:05:40,200 --> 01:05:42,880
Speaker 2: Bills one game back at ten and five, and as

1214
01:05:42,920 --> 01:05:44,960
Speaker 2: we know, they have the head to head tiebreaker on

1215
01:05:45,040 --> 01:05:49,760
Speaker 2: the Bills, having beaten them earlier this season. So you're

1216
01:05:49,840 --> 01:05:53,600
Speaker 2: still full steam ahead this week, right you.

1217
01:05:53,720 --> 01:05:54,160
Speaker 3: Have to be.

1218
01:05:54,400 --> 01:05:57,680
Speaker 20: Yeah, that means I think it started at New England week,

1219
01:05:58,240 --> 01:06:01,080
Speaker 20: really full steam ahead. I mean that's kind of where

1220
01:06:01,080 --> 01:06:02,720
Speaker 20: you look at it. But yeah, I mean coming here

1221
01:06:02,760 --> 01:06:04,960
Speaker 20: against the Philly team. I know people might say it

1222
01:06:04,960 --> 01:06:07,280
Speaker 20: could be a super Bowl matchup or whatever it may be.

1223
01:06:07,360 --> 01:06:09,920
Speaker 20: So now and you know how Philly's gonna play, So

1224
01:06:10,880 --> 01:06:14,520
Speaker 20: from here on out. Really, you know, still in the

1225
01:06:14,560 --> 01:06:17,640
Speaker 20: mindset of, yeah, we just have to keep continuing to

1226
01:06:17,640 --> 01:06:20,480
Speaker 20: play it, just keep playing physical football and now football,

1227
01:06:20,520 --> 01:06:22,920
Speaker 20: because I mean, we're not gonna get a break. We're

1228
01:06:22,920 --> 01:06:25,800
Speaker 20: gonna run right into this playoff thing, yeah, you know,

1229
01:06:25,840 --> 01:06:27,360
Speaker 20: because we can't get the number one seed.

1230
01:06:27,440 --> 01:06:31,439
Speaker 3: So mindset. So you see it. And I think they're

1231
01:06:31,480 --> 01:06:34,400
Speaker 3: getting more healthier now than they probably.

1232
01:06:34,160 --> 01:06:36,040
Speaker 2: Ever to some degree. Josh's got a little bit of

1233
01:06:36,080 --> 01:06:39,640
Speaker 2: a gimpy foot. We know they're managing Kincaid's knee here

1234
01:06:39,760 --> 01:06:42,280
Speaker 2: through the rest of the year, so he's fresh as

1235
01:06:42,320 --> 01:06:45,040
Speaker 2: possible for the playoffs. And there's other guys that are

1236
01:06:45,080 --> 01:06:49,600
Speaker 2: a little nicked up. Nothing major, it appears, but they

1237
01:06:49,720 --> 01:06:52,440
Speaker 2: you don't want Josh getting worse. Like we don't know

1238
01:06:52,480 --> 01:06:55,439
Speaker 2: what the nature of this foot ailment is. He said

1239
01:06:55,480 --> 01:06:57,960
Speaker 2: after the game. It hurt at first, he tweaked it,

1240
01:06:58,040 --> 01:07:01,600
Speaker 2: the pain subsided, he was fine, but then he didn't

1241
01:07:01,600 --> 01:07:04,800
Speaker 2: participate in the walk through yesterday. We'll have to see

1242
01:07:04,800 --> 01:07:07,200
Speaker 2: what the injury report says today when it comes out

1243
01:07:07,320 --> 01:07:10,640
Speaker 2: in terms of what his level of participation is or

1244
01:07:10,760 --> 01:07:15,160
Speaker 2: is not. We don't know. That's that guy is a

1245
01:07:15,160 --> 01:07:21,400
Speaker 2: little bit of a different case like, right, yeah, because

1246
01:07:21,560 --> 01:07:27,600
Speaker 2: you play you play the long game with him, right, yeah, exact,

1247
01:07:27,880 --> 01:07:29,600
Speaker 2: play the long game to make sure he's healthy for

1248
01:07:29,640 --> 01:07:29,919
Speaker 2: the player.

1249
01:07:30,000 --> 01:07:31,560
Speaker 3: Absolutely, that's what you're having to do.

1250
01:07:31,680 --> 01:07:34,000
Speaker 20: And and I think that's what we should be looking at,

1251
01:07:34,040 --> 01:07:37,720
Speaker 20: like it's it's him, it's Josh Allen.

1252
01:07:38,440 --> 01:07:41,680
Speaker 3: We need him to be the best when this playoffs.

1253
01:07:41,920 --> 01:07:45,120
Speaker 4: You're talking, it's it sounds like we're almost talking out

1254
01:07:45,160 --> 01:07:46,560
Speaker 4: of both sides of our mouths, so that you got

1255
01:07:46,640 --> 01:07:48,440
Speaker 4: to play hard. You gotta win these games then. But

1256
01:07:49,680 --> 01:07:54,680
Speaker 4: unless it's Josh, can the Bills beat the Philadelphia Eagles

1257
01:07:54,720 --> 01:07:58,760
Speaker 4: without with Mitch Trubisky? That's the question, right, And I

1258
01:07:58,760 --> 01:08:00,720
Speaker 4: don't even with this maybe a moot point because Josh

1259
01:08:00,800 --> 01:08:02,760
Speaker 4: might be sitting you know, I can't wait for game time.

1260
01:08:02,920 --> 01:08:05,800
Speaker 20: Right, come on, can you imagine Josh not going out

1261
01:08:05,800 --> 01:08:06,840
Speaker 20: there for a twenty five game?

1262
01:08:06,960 --> 01:08:10,400
Speaker 2: Well, right, Josh is going on that and.

1263
01:08:10,280 --> 01:08:12,640
Speaker 3: He is going out there to play to win football game.

1264
01:08:12,640 --> 01:08:15,880
Speaker 2: And he's got a consecutive start streak that he cares about.

1265
01:08:16,760 --> 01:08:19,519
Speaker 20: And the thing about that McDermott and everybody else cares

1266
01:08:19,560 --> 01:08:20,240
Speaker 20: about that too.

1267
01:08:20,560 --> 01:08:20,760
Speaker 3: Yes.

1268
01:08:21,240 --> 01:08:24,080
Speaker 2: At the same time, though he's the kind of guy

1269
01:08:24,120 --> 01:08:26,880
Speaker 2: you got to protect from himself, like if he can't

1270
01:08:26,880 --> 01:08:31,080
Speaker 2: be mobile enough to avoid hits and stuff like he

1271
01:08:31,160 --> 01:08:34,400
Speaker 2: normally is, because the foot's a little gimpy, Like you're

1272
01:08:34,479 --> 01:08:35,879
Speaker 2: kind of putting him at risk a little.

1273
01:08:35,640 --> 01:08:40,719
Speaker 4: Bit A good ways, right, what if do you manage

1274
01:08:40,800 --> 01:08:43,559
Speaker 4: James Cook's workload?

1275
01:08:43,600 --> 01:08:43,920
Speaker 22: Just let it?

1276
01:08:44,640 --> 01:08:47,720
Speaker 3: He wants to let him keep the Russian ty. He's

1277
01:08:47,800 --> 01:08:49,000
Speaker 3: right there for it. Come on, man, you know how

1278
01:08:49,040 --> 01:08:50,360
Speaker 3: hard it is to win a Russian title.

1279
01:08:50,680 --> 01:08:54,599
Speaker 4: No, I don't. I just assume that it is.

1280
01:08:54,880 --> 01:08:57,160
Speaker 20: Yeah, it is, especially when you got him and Barrier

1281
01:08:57,160 --> 01:08:59,160
Speaker 20: on the other side, or there's hard to try to

1282
01:08:59,200 --> 01:08:59,639
Speaker 20: win one.

1283
01:08:59,600 --> 01:09:00,360
Speaker 4: Room got you.

1284
01:09:01,000 --> 01:09:05,920
Speaker 2: But yeah, so James Cook is like he plays no matter.

1285
01:09:05,720 --> 01:09:08,360
Speaker 3: What he plays. Yeah, he plays. Yeah.

1286
01:09:08,479 --> 01:09:10,479
Speaker 20: I mean, I mean, if you're gonna sit James Cook,

1287
01:09:10,520 --> 01:09:12,920
Speaker 20: you might will start plucking out offensive lineman if you

1288
01:09:12,920 --> 01:09:14,760
Speaker 20: want to do that. But no, I mean, I think

1289
01:09:14,760 --> 01:09:18,599
Speaker 20: it's the playoffs you're going against atball team.

1290
01:09:18,640 --> 01:09:20,800
Speaker 3: Man, you want to be out there playing. I think

1291
01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:24,320
Speaker 3: Cook is going to play this week. And I don't

1292
01:09:24,320 --> 01:09:25,519
Speaker 3: even know, like what the game.

1293
01:09:25,400 --> 01:09:26,880
Speaker 2: Is going to mean the follow.

1294
01:09:27,120 --> 01:09:29,960
Speaker 3: Nobody knows yet. But you know, the mindset is, you

1295
01:09:30,000 --> 01:09:31,960
Speaker 3: know what we're in the playoffs right now. That's it.

1296
01:09:32,240 --> 01:09:36,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, THEURM. Thanks for the time. As always, we appreciate it.

1297
01:09:36,920 --> 01:09:40,680
Speaker 2: We'll see Christmas, Christmas, Yeah, Christmas. We'll see everybody. We'll

1303
01:09:51,479 --> 01:10:08,160
Speaker 2: we return. Stay tuned. Heating Up and Cooling Down presented

1304
01:10:08,160 --> 01:10:12,000
Speaker 2: by T Mark Hvac and Plumbing. The official residential h

1305
01:10:12,080 --> 01:10:15,680
Speaker 2: VAC partner of the Buffalo Bills and Heating Up right

1306
01:10:15,720 --> 01:10:20,120
Speaker 2: now is se Kwan Barkley. The Eagles offense was not

1307
01:10:20,240 --> 01:10:23,120
Speaker 2: doing too well during a three game losing streak. They

1308
01:10:23,200 --> 01:10:27,280
Speaker 2: decide to turn to the reigning offensive player, and off

1309
01:10:27,320 --> 01:10:31,120
Speaker 2: he goes, running rough shot over the Raiders and Commanders

1310
01:10:31,160 --> 01:10:34,120
Speaker 2: not great run defenses, but this just in. The Bills

1311
01:10:34,120 --> 01:10:37,640
Speaker 2: don't rank very highly in run defense either, so Barkley's

1312
01:10:37,640 --> 01:10:38,240
Speaker 2: coming in hot.

1313
01:10:38,280 --> 01:10:40,320
Speaker 4: Their offense is getting a little bit healthier as well

1314
01:10:40,360 --> 01:10:43,960
Speaker 4: around him. And yeah, I mean the guy still, I mean,

1315
01:10:44,040 --> 01:10:47,920
Speaker 4: look at this run. Good grief Quadzilla. He's running through

1316
01:10:47,960 --> 01:10:52,120
Speaker 4: like nine guys one, two, three, Yeah, five guys, six

1317
01:10:52,160 --> 01:10:56,000
Speaker 4: guys and he gets in the end zone. That's hard.

1318
01:10:56,520 --> 01:11:01,439
Speaker 4: So he had the monster year last year and there's still.

1319
01:11:01,280 --> 01:11:06,080
Speaker 2: Some gas in the tank cooling down. The production in

1320
01:11:06,120 --> 01:11:09,200
Speaker 2: the Bills pass game didn't even get to one hundred

1321
01:11:09,200 --> 01:11:13,759
Speaker 2: and fifty yards in passing offense last week against the Browns.

1322
01:11:13,760 --> 01:11:17,360
Speaker 2: You know it's under the hood, but you haven't seen it.

1323
01:11:17,360 --> 01:11:20,720
Speaker 2: It's in there somewhere week to week bases consistently.

1324
01:11:21,360 --> 01:11:25,759
Speaker 4: That's and that's been the conversation for twenty twenty five

1325
01:11:26,000 --> 01:11:29,519
Speaker 4: is the passing game production. Certainly, Josh has made some

1326
01:11:29,560 --> 01:11:32,639
Speaker 4: outstanding throws, and they've had some games where they lit

1327
01:11:32,680 --> 01:11:35,160
Speaker 4: it up when they needed to light it up. But

1328
01:11:36,920 --> 01:11:39,280
Speaker 4: you go out week one, Josh throws for like three

1329
01:11:39,439 --> 01:11:42,960
Speaker 4: ninety four. Let me think here we go, Well, not

1330
01:11:43,040 --> 01:11:43,479
Speaker 4: so much.

1331
01:11:43,680 --> 01:11:46,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, And the offense has been the passing offense has

1332
01:11:46,960 --> 01:11:49,840
Speaker 2: been funneled more through the tight ends and the backs

1333
01:11:49,840 --> 01:11:52,639
Speaker 2: of late. But even they did not have a ton

1334
01:11:52,680 --> 01:11:55,920
Speaker 2: of production this past week against the Browns, due in

1335
01:11:55,960 --> 01:11:57,839
Speaker 2: part to the fact that the run game was working

1336
01:11:58,360 --> 01:12:00,479
Speaker 2: very well, especially in the first half for that game.

1337
01:12:00,560 --> 01:12:04,759
Speaker 2: Last week. I think when people see it go away,

1338
01:12:04,800 --> 01:12:09,400
Speaker 2: they get nervous. They think it's disappeared forever, and they

1339
01:12:09,439 --> 01:12:12,560
Speaker 2: need reassurance that it's still there and can be productive

1340
01:12:12,640 --> 01:12:15,080
Speaker 2: when the team needs it. And I get it.

1341
01:12:15,160 --> 01:12:19,400
Speaker 4: You can. You can be suspicious that it's not as

1342
01:12:19,439 --> 01:12:22,799
Speaker 4: dependable as it is when you see it every week, weekend,

1343
01:12:22,840 --> 01:12:25,679
Speaker 4: week out, And that's a fair that's a fair question.

1344
01:12:26,960 --> 01:12:31,280
Speaker 4: But you know the bills are you know, he got

1345
01:12:31,320 --> 01:12:33,519
Speaker 4: seventeen taken snaps. He's going to be able to make

1346
01:12:33,560 --> 01:12:34,559
Speaker 4: something happen out of it.

1347
01:12:35,240 --> 01:12:37,439

Speaker 12: christ Alone with Frank Wich, you know, human back and

1385
01:14:38,439 --> 01:14:42,479
Speaker 12: forth the lyrics of the Christ Alone and then show

1386
01:14:42,560 --> 01:14:47,599
Speaker 12: that in the press conference and also the VHS tape

1387
01:14:47,600 --> 01:14:50,240
Speaker 12: the twenty five greatest comeback in NFL history. And then

1388
01:14:50,280 --> 01:14:55,599
Speaker 12: Paul McQuire was hosting it and had the Bills at

1389
01:14:55,600 --> 01:14:59,880
Speaker 12: the end, and there was just a incredible gifts and

1390
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:02,920
Speaker 12: and I just had questions about what do you see

1391
01:15:02,960 --> 01:15:08,600
Speaker 12: in the nineties bills characteristics to these bills and the

1392
01:15:08,640 --> 01:15:17,639
Speaker 12: casting characters of the Bills of the nineties like with Thurman, Bruce, yourself, Andre,

1393
01:15:17,960 --> 01:15:21,720
Speaker 12: and then you had the other guys like BB the

1394
01:15:21,800 --> 01:15:29,840
Speaker 12: messalas Kelso Hanson and how it you need everyone in

1395
01:15:29,960 --> 01:15:32,400
Speaker 12: the on the team to be able to encourage one

1396
01:15:32,400 --> 01:15:34,320
Speaker 12: another to put it to another level.

1397
01:15:35,080 --> 01:15:37,120
Speaker 2: Oh, I just wanted to go question Jason. Thanks for

1398
01:15:37,200 --> 01:15:39,160
Speaker 2: it and thanks for the call. Merry Christmas to you.

1399
01:15:40,520 --> 01:15:43,400
Speaker 2: That's a good one. See what what characteristics do you

1400
01:15:43,439 --> 01:15:46,519
Speaker 2: think this current Bills team has that might parallel would

1401
01:15:46,560 --> 01:15:47,439
Speaker 2: yours had, if any?

1402
01:15:47,920 --> 01:15:50,200
Speaker 4: I think they're a really close knit group. I think

1403
01:15:50,240 --> 01:15:52,519
Speaker 4: they like each other. I think the culture in the

1404
01:15:52,560 --> 01:15:59,439
Speaker 4: building has been built really well. That was something that happened.

1405
01:15:59,520 --> 01:16:02,720
Speaker 4: Happened organically back when we played. There was no free

1406
01:16:02,760 --> 01:16:06,120
Speaker 4: agency during those early years, and so you kind of

1407
01:16:07,080 --> 01:16:10,000
Speaker 4: you know, you're kind of stuck with the team you're on, right,

1408
01:16:10,040 --> 01:16:11,920
Speaker 4: you can't leave. There was no free agency, and when

1409
01:16:11,960 --> 01:16:13,720
Speaker 4: your contract was up, it didn't matter. You still came

1410
01:16:13,760 --> 01:16:19,120
Speaker 4: back to the same team. Having said that, I think

1411
01:16:19,320 --> 01:16:22,559
Speaker 4: this team in the current its current form, it's easy

1412
01:16:22,600 --> 01:16:24,519
Speaker 4: because we know so much about the nineties teams that

1413
01:16:24,560 --> 01:16:27,080
Speaker 4: we have yet to find out about this team. And

1414
01:16:27,160 --> 01:16:29,559
Speaker 4: I'm not saying just because that team in the nineties

1415
01:16:29,600 --> 01:16:31,479
Speaker 4: went all went to the Super Bowls and stuff, that

1416
01:16:31,520 --> 01:16:33,720
Speaker 4: they would were automatically a better team and all that.

1417
01:16:33,800 --> 01:16:38,040
Speaker 4: Yet you know, because you know the last the last

1418
01:16:38,040 --> 01:16:40,519
Speaker 4: two Super Bowls we went to, there was an enormous

1419
01:16:40,560 --> 01:16:43,479
Speaker 4: amount of good fortune that happened to that team that

1420
01:16:43,720 --> 01:16:47,080
Speaker 4: helped them get back there. On the other side of

1421
01:16:47,120 --> 01:16:52,200
Speaker 4: that good fortune were a bunch of Hall of famers

1422
01:16:52,200 --> 01:16:57,920
Speaker 4: on that roster, Jim Bruce Thurman, Andre James Lofton, Marv

1423
01:16:58,040 --> 01:17:01,559
Speaker 4: Levy and the owner Ralph Wilson and Bill Pollian built

1424
01:17:01,600 --> 01:17:04,519
Speaker 4: the club for the first two Super Bowls before he left,

1425
01:17:05,920 --> 01:17:09,800
Speaker 4: So you know, there's a ton of all time great

1426
01:17:10,160 --> 01:17:13,639
Speaker 4: people involved in that. And even those people like Bruce

1427
01:17:13,720 --> 01:17:17,599
Speaker 4: and Andre and Thurman who was just here, James lofton Jim,

1428
01:17:17,680 --> 01:17:19,439
Speaker 4: they'll all tell you and they'll be able to go

1429
01:17:19,520 --> 01:17:22,720
Speaker 4: down the roster and they'll pick certain people that you

1430
01:17:22,800 --> 01:17:26,439
Speaker 4: may not even remember, but they'll pick certain contributions from

1431
01:17:26,479 --> 01:17:28,840
Speaker 4: each and every person on the roster. So like this

1432
01:17:29,000 --> 01:17:34,080
Speaker 4: current team, it you get contributions from everywhere. You know,

1433
01:17:34,800 --> 01:17:38,080
Speaker 4: aj Panessa kept catching a tipped pass, you know the

1434
01:17:38,600 --> 01:17:41,479
Speaker 4: you know, Jordan Poyer catching a tip pass, somebody doing

1435
01:17:41,520 --> 01:17:45,040
Speaker 4: a pass breakup, Cole Bishop recognizing a playing, tackling a

1436
01:17:45,080 --> 01:17:48,479
Speaker 4: guy for a loss. You recognize contributions from guys all

1437
01:17:48,479 --> 01:17:52,400
Speaker 4: over the roster. You know, the great players recognize it.

1438
01:17:52,479 --> 01:17:55,840
Speaker 4: So there's a lot of that. There's a lot of

1439
01:17:55,840 --> 01:17:58,639
Speaker 4: similarities because they're both really good football teams and they're

1440
01:17:58,680 --> 01:18:04,800
Speaker 4: playing the same sport, you know, mostly given the fact

1441
01:18:04,840 --> 01:18:08,800
Speaker 4: that it's it's evolved thirty five years away from where

1442
01:18:08,840 --> 01:18:14,280
Speaker 4: it was in the early nineties, so there are some similarities. Certainly,

1443
01:18:14,360 --> 01:18:18,840
Speaker 4: Josh is a Hall of Fame caliber player James Cooks

1444
01:18:18,880 --> 01:18:22,640
Speaker 4: having a kind of Hall of Fame caliber season. If

1445
01:18:22,640 --> 01:18:24,439
Speaker 4: he could string a bunch of those together, he'd be

1446
01:18:24,600 --> 01:18:28,280
Speaker 4: right there as well. So there are some similarities. And

1447
01:18:28,320 --> 01:18:30,799
Speaker 4: I think when you talk about what makes teams different,

1448
01:18:30,880 --> 01:18:33,080
Speaker 4: you'll get this from all the great teams, from the

1449
01:18:33,120 --> 01:18:35,360
Speaker 4: Cowboys of the nineties that beat us in the Super Bowl,

1450
01:18:35,439 --> 01:18:37,960
Speaker 4: the Redskins that beat us in the Super Bowl, to

1451
01:18:38,240 --> 01:18:40,920
Speaker 4: the eighties teams that the forty nine ers had that

1452
01:18:40,960 --> 01:18:44,240
Speaker 4: won all those Super Bowls. The thing that'll get that's

1453
01:18:44,240 --> 01:18:46,400
Speaker 4: almost universal is the fact of how much they loved

1454
01:18:46,400 --> 01:18:49,120
Speaker 4: each other, how cool it was to be on that team.

1455
01:18:50,000 --> 01:18:54,000
Speaker 4: So culture makes a difference, you can say. And that's

1456
01:18:54,000 --> 01:18:57,080
Speaker 4: the big question. It's the chicken in the egg. Do

1457
01:18:57,120 --> 01:19:01,160
Speaker 4: you win because you have culture or does winning create

1458
01:19:01,240 --> 01:19:03,479
Speaker 4: the culture that makes you, you know, love each other

1459
01:19:03,560 --> 01:19:08,760
Speaker 4: like that? Maybe both maybe an equal equal distribution.

1460
01:19:09,120 --> 01:19:15,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think there were definitely more Hall of Fame players.

1461
01:19:15,840 --> 01:19:17,800
Speaker 2: And that's easy to say now because that team's three

1462
01:19:17,880 --> 01:19:19,680
Speaker 2: years the past. We don't know every duck did and

1463
01:19:19,680 --> 01:19:21,840
Speaker 2: in try. Yeah, we don't know anything about this team.

1464
01:19:21,840 --> 01:19:24,559
Speaker 2: We don't know all that about this team yet. Yeah,

1465
01:19:24,640 --> 01:19:28,080
Speaker 2: that is true. Let's go to Missy and cheek towagan X.

1466
01:19:28,200 --> 01:19:29,920
Speaker 2: What's that Missy?

1467
01:19:29,920 --> 01:19:31,880
Speaker 23: Guys, Merry Christmas you too.

1468
01:19:32,800 --> 01:19:34,960
Speaker 24: So I just wanted to let you know that my

1469
01:19:35,160 --> 01:19:37,640
Speaker 24: favorite Christmas CAFT bills related that I ever got was

1470
01:19:37,680 --> 01:19:42,040
Speaker 24: about five years ago. My husband got me a blue

1471
01:19:43,320 --> 01:19:47,560
Speaker 24: autographed might be Chili jersey and it started my tailgate.

1472
01:19:47,880 --> 01:19:51,840
Speaker 2: Wow, look at that I got? What a blue it

1473
01:19:51,920 --> 01:19:52,960
Speaker 2: might be Chili shirt?

1474
01:19:53,080 --> 01:19:53,240
Speaker 4: Well?

1475
01:19:53,240 --> 01:19:56,480
Speaker 2: There you go? Was that autographed?

1476
01:19:56,479 --> 01:19:56,759
Speaker 7: Missy?

1477
01:19:57,840 --> 01:19:59,040
Speaker 24: Yeah, it's it's autographed.

1478
01:19:59,080 --> 01:19:59,519
Speaker 25: We missed it.

1479
01:19:59,560 --> 01:20:01,800
Speaker 24: I at the ta gates, Steve, we had Brownie and

1480
01:20:01,840 --> 01:20:04,920
Speaker 24: Gen come and you aren't feeling too hot?

1481
01:20:05,120 --> 01:20:06,640
Speaker 23: So yeah, we are you gonna be there?

1482
01:20:06,760 --> 01:20:07,040
Speaker 2: Missy?

1483
01:20:07,080 --> 01:20:08,360
Speaker 4: Are you gonna be there this week?

1484
01:20:09,160 --> 01:20:10,880
Speaker 2: Of course we are, all right, I might, I might.

1485
01:20:10,920 --> 01:20:11,800
Speaker 2: We'm gonna try and stop.

1486
01:20:11,840 --> 01:20:13,360
Speaker 4: I can't promise it because I'm gonna you know, we

1487
01:20:13,400 --> 01:20:14,720
Speaker 4: got a lot of stuff going on, there's a lot

1488
01:20:14,720 --> 01:20:16,240
Speaker 4: of moving parts. But I'm gonna try and drop by

1489
01:20:16,280 --> 01:20:18,720
Speaker 4: to say hello, because I cannot believe that of all

1490
01:20:18,760 --> 01:20:23,519
Speaker 4: the games that I missed, I missed one agreed with

1491
01:20:23,520 --> 01:20:27,639
Speaker 4: with like nine people wearing Steve Tasker jerseys. All right,

1492
01:20:28,280 --> 01:20:30,040
Speaker 4: there you go, thank you, Missy. That's awesome.

1493
01:20:30,240 --> 01:20:32,960
Speaker 24: We will be there probably nine am, so if you

1494
01:20:33,040 --> 01:20:35,880
Speaker 24: head in early, you can stop by and say hi.

1495
01:20:35,960 --> 01:20:39,200
Speaker 24: But that was definitely my favorite Bill's Christmas present. And

1496
01:20:39,320 --> 01:20:41,760
Speaker 24: now I have three of them and all the colors,

1497
01:20:41,920 --> 01:20:45,479
Speaker 24: and as you saw, my tailgate is all eighty nine

1498
01:20:45,520 --> 01:20:46,559
Speaker 24: and all might be chilli.

1499
01:20:46,720 --> 01:20:51,760
Speaker 4: Well I'll say this, I I have signed more it

1500
01:20:51,840 --> 01:20:54,479
Speaker 4: might be chili stuff over the last three or four

1501
01:20:54,560 --> 01:20:58,160
Speaker 4: years than I've signed anything else. So act that hype

1502
01:20:58,280 --> 01:21:00,920
Speaker 4: video from back in the day made the rounds and.

1503
01:21:00,880 --> 01:21:02,360
Speaker 23: I'm it's sure dead.

1504
01:21:02,439 --> 01:21:05,200
Speaker 24: All right, you have a white wine. We ended up

1505
01:21:05,240 --> 01:21:08,479
Speaker 24: getting a white Tasker jersey that we got might be

1506
01:21:08,560 --> 01:21:10,840
Speaker 24: chilli put on the back for the white Out game,

1507
01:21:11,920 --> 01:21:15,080
Speaker 24: and I might need that one signed though, if I come.

1508
01:21:14,920 --> 01:21:17,320
Speaker 2: By, I'll do it. I got a lifetime supply of signatures.

1509
01:21:17,360 --> 01:21:20,000
Speaker 2: All right, thanks, missie, appreciate it. Having Merry Christmas, and

1510
01:21:20,360 --> 01:21:23,720
Speaker 2: hopefully Steve will see you on Sunday. Let's go to

1511
01:21:24,080 --> 01:21:25,240
Speaker 2: Jack and Ken Moore. What's up?

1512
01:21:25,320 --> 01:21:28,759
Speaker 9: Jack saying to tell.

1513
01:21:33,040 --> 01:21:33,519
Speaker 5: You got it?

1514
01:21:34,439 --> 01:21:34,559
Speaker 26: Uh?

1515
01:21:34,960 --> 01:21:36,160
Speaker 9: Do you have any idea?

1516
01:21:36,160 --> 01:21:37,600
Speaker 23: You guys have any idea.

1517
01:21:37,360 --> 01:21:40,639
Speaker 9: If if ninety one is going to start practicing next week,

1518
01:21:41,240 --> 01:21:43,640
Speaker 9: does he have a shot to play in the playoffs.

1519
01:21:43,680 --> 01:21:45,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we're we're looking at post I think

1520
01:21:45,600 --> 01:21:48,840
Speaker 2: we're looking at postseason Ed four or four Ed Jack.

1521
01:21:49,280 --> 01:21:53,000
Speaker 2: That's probably what we're looking at. Coach McDermott has not

1522
01:21:53,080 --> 01:21:57,200
Speaker 2: put a definitive timetable on him, but if we go

1523
01:21:57,280 --> 01:22:00,240
Speaker 2: by guys that have had similar injuries, most notably Matt

1524
01:22:00,320 --> 01:22:03,200
Speaker 2: Mulono last year had a bicep injury just like Ed's.

1525
01:22:03,800 --> 01:22:07,240
Speaker 2: He got hurt right before the season started and then

1526
01:22:07,320 --> 01:22:10,640
Speaker 2: got back by week thirteen or fourteen. I want to

1527
01:22:10,680 --> 01:22:15,040
Speaker 2: say Ed got hurt in week six, so if you

1528
01:22:15,200 --> 01:22:19,160
Speaker 2: extrapolate that out thirteen weeks, you get to week nineteen,

1529
01:22:19,320 --> 01:22:21,720
Speaker 2: which is wild card week. So I would say the

1530
01:22:21,760 --> 01:22:27,280
Speaker 2: hope is he's good to come back that week. Anything

1531
01:22:27,560 --> 01:22:30,840
Speaker 2: before might be premature, but I'm not a doctor. We'll

1532
01:22:30,840 --> 01:22:33,439
Speaker 2: have to see. I mean, I think maybe they would

1533
01:22:33,439 --> 01:22:35,719
Speaker 2: want him to get a ramp up regular season game

1534
01:22:35,800 --> 01:22:40,400
Speaker 2: before the playoffs rather than coming in cold. But it's

1535
01:22:40,439 --> 01:22:43,880
Speaker 2: going to largely be predicated on the strength and integrity

1536
01:22:43,880 --> 01:22:45,200
Speaker 2: of that bicep tender.

1537
01:22:44,960 --> 01:22:48,880
Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, And certainly Ed is working hard to get back.

1538
01:22:48,920 --> 01:22:51,080
Speaker 2: But oh, we see him in the fieldhouse here all

1539
01:22:51,120 --> 01:22:53,880
Speaker 2: the time. We're rehs strength and conditioning. He's rehabbing hard.

1540
01:22:54,000 --> 01:22:57,960
Speaker 4: So but it's like everything, it's a race to it's

1541
01:22:57,960 --> 01:22:58,840
Speaker 4: a race against time.

1542
01:22:59,120 --> 01:23:02,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's squeeze in Paul in Boston.

1543
01:23:02,400 --> 01:23:08,840
Speaker 15: Here, what's up, Paul, Chris, Steve, Merry Christmas. I have

1544
01:23:09,120 --> 01:23:11,880
Speaker 15: what I considered to be a very important story about

1545
01:23:11,920 --> 01:23:15,200
Speaker 15: Frank Reich and a Christmas present that he gave someone.

1546
01:23:16,320 --> 01:23:20,679
Speaker 15: And what happened was my wife's cousin was terminally ill

1547
01:23:21,800 --> 01:23:27,320
Speaker 15: and she was going to die before Christmas, and we

1548
01:23:27,360 --> 01:23:30,080
Speaker 15: wanted the only thing she wanted. She loved Frank Wright.

1549
01:23:30,520 --> 01:23:32,840
Speaker 15: The only thing she wanted was an autograph football from

1550
01:23:32,880 --> 01:23:36,360
Speaker 15: Frank with his name, And I should say so. I

1551
01:23:36,400 --> 01:23:40,040
Speaker 15: went to the stadium, players were coming out from practice.

1552
01:23:40,680 --> 01:23:44,400
Speaker 15: I wrote a letter to Frank explain the situation, and

1553
01:23:44,439 --> 01:23:49,200
Speaker 15: I gave it to the big tight end. I apologize, Yes,

1554
01:23:49,560 --> 01:23:51,360
Speaker 15: I gave it to him. He looked at me kind

1555
01:23:51,360 --> 01:23:53,000
Speaker 15: of funny, but I had my son with me, so

1556
01:23:53,640 --> 01:23:55,960
Speaker 15: he took it. I didn't know what would happen with

1557
01:23:56,080 --> 01:24:00,320
Speaker 15: but he gave it to Frank. And Frank called one

1558
01:24:00,400 --> 01:24:04,240
Speaker 15: wife's cousin house and he talked to her husband. He

1559
01:24:04,280 --> 01:24:07,240
Speaker 15: thought it was a cruel joke, but it was. It

1560
01:24:07,280 --> 01:24:12,120
Speaker 15: was Frank And a few days later he came to

1561
01:24:12,240 --> 01:24:17,960
Speaker 15: the house with an autograph football. It had every member

1562
01:24:18,040 --> 01:24:23,200
Speaker 15: of the Bill's name, including here Steve signature on it. Football.

1563
01:24:23,479 --> 01:24:23,799
Speaker 4: Wow.

1564
01:24:24,120 --> 01:24:26,880
Speaker 15: I mean, he's just he was just a wonderful man.

1565
01:24:27,320 --> 01:24:28,559
Speaker 15: We appreciate it so much.

1566
01:24:28,720 --> 01:24:30,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a great thank you, Paul, thanks for that.

Speaker 2: Never merry Christmas. Yeah, I mean Steve, Frank's want of

1568
01:24:35,640 --> 01:24:38,479
Speaker 2: Steve's best friends. So yeah, you're not telling Steve anything

1569
01:24:38,520 --> 01:24:41,280
Speaker 2: he doesn't know. And I've got a chance to know

1570
01:24:41,320 --> 01:24:43,800
Speaker 2: Frank over the last few years, so that does not

1571
01:24:43,920 --> 01:24:47,800
Speaker 2: surprise either of us at all. So nice story there.

01:26:39,960 --> 01:26:42,200
Speaker 27: Hi, guys, thanks for working. It's so close to a

1599
01:26:42,240 --> 01:26:46,599
Speaker 27: holiday today. I appreciate it. My best experience was in

1600
01:26:46,680 --> 01:26:49,920
Speaker 27: nineteen ninety three. My brother was living in LA and

1601
01:26:50,000 --> 01:26:53,200
Speaker 27: somehow he got me a ticket to your Super Bowl, Steve,

1602
01:26:54,000 --> 01:26:55,800
Speaker 27: and all had to do was fly out there and

1603
01:26:55,840 --> 01:26:58,519
Speaker 27: stay with him. I think he got it through some

1604
01:26:58,560 --> 01:27:00,720
Speaker 27: sort of broker called Murray's Tickets or.

1605
01:27:00,640 --> 01:27:02,919
Speaker 2: Something sounds very official.

1606
01:27:03,800 --> 01:27:07,000
Speaker 27: Yeah, well I got it was an official ticket and

1607
01:27:07,080 --> 01:27:09,639
Speaker 27: a couple of quick things. While I was during the game,

1608
01:27:09,760 --> 01:27:12,160
Speaker 27: a guy a few seats down to me was really smart.

1609
01:27:12,200 --> 01:27:14,719
Speaker 27: He was calling all the fowls even before the reps.

1610
01:27:15,400 --> 01:27:18,000
Speaker 27: And I saw some people asking for his autograph, so

1611
01:27:18,360 --> 01:27:20,880
Speaker 27: I didn't recognize him, so I shoved a piece of

1612
01:27:20,920 --> 01:27:23,040
Speaker 27: paper down and got it back and it was it

1613
01:27:23,080 --> 01:27:26,120
Speaker 27: was Kellen Winslow from the San Diego Chargers. There you go,

1614
01:27:27,160 --> 01:27:29,599
Speaker 27: but I mean, no one compares to you, Steve, of course.

1615
01:27:29,680 --> 01:27:39,880
Speaker 27: But last smart thing I did was the halftime show

1616
01:27:40,040 --> 01:27:42,599
Speaker 27: was Michael Jackson, and I guess they had a bunch.

1617
01:27:42,880 --> 01:27:45,240
Speaker 27: They had a bunch of fake Michael Jackson's popping up

1618
01:27:45,240 --> 01:27:47,680
Speaker 27: on the roof. But that's exactly when I went to

1619
01:27:47,720 --> 01:27:51,599
Speaker 27: the bathroom, no waiting, no lines. You look at that,

1620
01:27:52,520 --> 01:27:54,360
Speaker 27: But thank you, Steve for a great I know we

1621
01:27:54,400 --> 01:27:56,759
Speaker 27: didn't win but thank you for such a great career

1622
01:27:56,880 --> 01:27:58,960
Speaker 27: and entertaining me at that Super Bowl. It was the

1623
01:27:59,000 --> 01:28:00,439
Speaker 27: best experience of my life.

1624
01:28:00,640 --> 01:28:01,160
Speaker 5: That's awesome.

1625
01:28:01,400 --> 01:28:05,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, Mary you, Paula, thanks for retelling that

1626
01:28:05,200 --> 01:28:08,080
Speaker 2: story for us. That's pretty cool. Kellen Winslow and Michael

1627
01:28:08,160 --> 01:28:10,240
Speaker 2: Jackson all in and all in an afternoon.

1628
01:28:10,680 --> 01:28:14,600
Speaker 4: That's the touch. That's the Super Bowl. I blocked a

1629
01:28:14,640 --> 01:28:19,479
Speaker 4: punt in that's right. I'm twenty Pasadena super Bowl right. Yeah.

01:31:05,200 --> 01:31:08,120
Speaker 4: broadcast boosts. Have those two big time suites that are there.

1688
01:31:08,200 --> 01:31:10,880
Speaker 4: One is one is the M and T suite that's

1689
01:31:10,960 --> 01:31:13,960
Speaker 4: right there on the forty yard line or something, and

1690
01:31:14,760 --> 01:31:17,559
Speaker 4: she's the door person for that.

1691
01:31:17,840 --> 01:31:18,320
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1692
01:31:19,400 --> 01:31:20,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, so there it is.

1693
01:31:20,840 --> 01:31:24,479
Speaker 4: So we have our certainly our handshake kind of thing.

1694
01:31:24,640 --> 01:31:27,720
Speaker 2: Right, Let's go to Dave and Missouri next. What do

1695
01:31:27,760 --> 01:31:28,479
Speaker 2: we got, Dave.

1696
01:31:30,240 --> 01:31:33,960
Speaker 14: Hey, great show. Love listening to you guys. I live

1697
01:31:34,000 --> 01:31:36,880
Speaker 14: an hour and a half from Chief Stadium, which is

1698
01:31:37,000 --> 01:31:40,519
Speaker 14: rough from Lakewood, New York outside Jamestown. First, I got

1699
01:31:40,560 --> 01:31:44,280
Speaker 14: a quick Bill's mafia story here. It's so well organized.

1700
01:31:44,680 --> 01:31:47,479
Speaker 14: When we played Bills at Chief a couple of years ago,

1701
01:31:47,600 --> 01:31:51,759
Speaker 14: it was a three twenty five afternoon game. We organized

1702
01:31:51,760 --> 01:31:54,840
Speaker 14: and lined up about three miles of cars at seven

1703
01:31:54,880 --> 01:31:58,280
Speaker 14: am and drove it into the gate which opened at eleven.

1704
01:31:58,720 --> 01:32:01,599
Speaker 14: At seven point fifteen, the traffic was blocked, so guess

1705
01:32:01,680 --> 01:32:04,600
Speaker 14: what they let all of us Bill's fans in. We

1706
01:32:04,680 --> 01:32:07,720
Speaker 14: had a beautiful tailgate setup right next to the stadium

1707
01:32:07,920 --> 01:32:11,000
Speaker 14: four hours before the Chiefs got there. So that was epic.

1708
01:32:11,439 --> 01:32:14,439
Speaker 14: And then my favorite memory at Christmas, my uncle gifted

1709
01:32:14,479 --> 01:32:17,920
Speaker 14: my dad and I, who had had some major heart problems,

1710
01:32:18,360 --> 01:32:23,360
Speaker 14: tickets to the Bills Miami Dolphins game, really cold playoff

1711
01:32:23,439 --> 01:32:27,599
Speaker 14: game there. We sent Don Shula to his retirement. After

1712
01:32:27,640 --> 01:32:31,280
Speaker 14: that game. On the way back, we stopped at Aldritch's

1713
01:32:31,360 --> 01:32:34,080
Speaker 14: Garry in Dunkirk. If you go in and sing the

1714
01:32:34,120 --> 01:32:37,680
Speaker 14: Bills Shout song, you get a free milkshake, and my

1715
01:32:37,760 --> 01:32:40,000
Speaker 14: dad and I sang that along with the rest of

1716
01:32:40,040 --> 01:32:42,840
Speaker 14: the fans there, and that was epic. I just lost

1717
01:32:42,880 --> 01:32:45,320
Speaker 14: my dad, he passed away about a year and a

1718
01:32:45,320 --> 01:32:47,400
Speaker 14: half ago, and I got a great picture, but that

1719
01:32:47,560 --> 01:32:48,679
Speaker 14: was my epic memory.

1720
01:32:48,800 --> 01:32:52,320
Speaker 2: That's awesome. Now that's a couple of great ones. That's great.

1721
01:32:52,400 --> 01:32:56,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, the game you met, the Shula playoff game. That

1722
01:32:56,360 --> 01:32:58,439
Speaker 4: was John Don Shula's final game as head coach in

1723
01:32:58,479 --> 01:33:00,800
Speaker 4: Biomy Dolphins, after a Hall of Fame career and more

1724
01:33:00,840 --> 01:33:04,000
Speaker 4: wins than anybody else in league history. So yeah, that

1725
01:33:04,080 --> 01:33:04,639
Speaker 4: was a good one.

1726
01:33:04,720 --> 01:33:05,160
Speaker 3: That's great.

1727
01:33:05,200 --> 01:33:07,160
Speaker 2: Thanks for sharing that, Dave, and Glad you have those

1728
01:33:07,200 --> 01:33:10,640
Speaker 2: memories of your dad to hold on to. Got to

1729
01:33:10,680 --> 01:33:13,679
Speaker 2: take a break here. We will take more phone calls

1730
01:33:13,760 --> 01:33:15,720
Speaker 2: in the third hour, but we do also have to

1731
01:33:15,760 --> 01:33:23,040
Speaker 2: catch up with Mike Reese, the Philadelphia radio reporter for

1732
01:33:24,000 --> 01:33:25,880
Speaker 2: the Eagles, so we'll catch up with him. He's also

1733
01:33:25,880 --> 01:33:28,320
Speaker 2: a former NFL safety, he played seven years for the Eagles,

1734
01:33:28,600 --> 01:33:31,120
Speaker 2: so we'll get his perspective on how the season has

1735
01:33:31,200 --> 01:33:34,479
Speaker 2: unfolded for Philadelphia. When we return here on One Bill's

1736
01:33:34,479 --> 01:34:08,280
Speaker 2: Live presented by a Lot of Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio.

1737
01:34:12,720 --> 01:34:16,840
Speaker 1: The One Bill's Live presented by Kalia Health.

1738
01:34:18,600 --> 01:34:20,960
Speaker 2: Welcome back to One Bill's Live. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker

Speaker 2: with you, and please to be joined now by for

1740
01:34:23,080 --> 01:34:27,559
Speaker 2: NFL linebacker. Nine seasons in the NFL, seven for the Eagles,

1741
01:34:27,560 --> 01:34:32,160
Speaker 2: two for the Falcons, and also on w IP in Philadelphia,

1742
01:34:32,160 --> 01:34:34,559
Speaker 2: it's Ike Reaes joining us, and Ike thanks for the time,

1743
01:34:34,640 --> 01:34:38,280
Speaker 2: especially on Christmas Eve. We appreciate it. I guess I

1744
01:34:38,320 --> 01:34:41,639
Speaker 2: want to start here because the Eagles are ten and five,

1745
01:34:41,680 --> 01:34:45,080
Speaker 2: they've already clinched the division, and fans are still shouting

1746
01:34:45,080 --> 01:34:49,160
Speaker 2: from the rooftops. What does what does the Eagles performance

1747
01:34:49,920 --> 01:34:53,080
Speaker 2: here late in the season, Why does it not look

1748
01:34:53,160 --> 01:34:56,000
Speaker 2: right to Eagles fans? What's the problem?

1749
01:34:56,360 --> 01:34:58,080
Speaker 28: Well, it's been a little bit of a struggle all

1750
01:34:58,160 --> 01:35:02,479
Speaker 28: year for us. You know, they've had moments where they've

1751
01:35:02,479 --> 01:35:04,479
Speaker 28: looked good and then they've had moments where it looks

1752
01:35:04,520 --> 01:35:07,519
Speaker 28: like they regress and there's no development, particularly on the

1753
01:35:07,560 --> 01:35:11,519
Speaker 28: offensive side involved. So you know, ideas the defense is

1754
01:35:11,560 --> 01:35:13,960
Speaker 28: pretty much you know, held down their part and been

1755
01:35:13,960 --> 01:35:15,080
Speaker 28: doing their job ball year.

1756
01:35:15,120 --> 01:35:17,040
Speaker 22: The offense has been a little bit up and down.

1757
01:35:17,600 --> 01:35:20,760
Speaker 28: So you know, we as Eagles fans, you know, uh,

1758
01:35:20,880 --> 01:35:24,640
Speaker 28: standards are high just based on just based on the

1759
01:35:24,680 --> 01:35:27,000
Speaker 28: success that that that the team has had, and you

1760
01:35:27,040 --> 01:35:29,320
Speaker 28: look at the amount of talent that they had, you

1761
01:35:29,360 --> 01:35:32,439
Speaker 28: can understand why the expectations are high. So uh, Steve

1762
01:35:32,439 --> 01:35:35,000
Speaker 28: would tell you, you know, as a former player, a

1763
01:35:35,080 --> 01:35:36,519
Speaker 28: winner is a win in my book.

1764
01:35:36,600 --> 01:35:38,320
Speaker 22: I mean, you win and then you try to find

1765
01:35:38,320 --> 01:35:39,400
Speaker 22: things you want to correct.

1766
01:35:39,400 --> 01:35:42,800
Speaker 28: But I'm sure for the fans, uh, that's not the

1767
01:35:42,840 --> 01:35:44,320
Speaker 28: case a lot of times.

1768
01:35:44,360 --> 01:35:44,960
Speaker 22: And I'll tell you this.

1769
01:35:45,080 --> 01:35:48,280
Speaker 28: The last couple of weeks, they're starting to sort of

1770
01:35:49,040 --> 01:35:52,400
Speaker 28: hopefully round their round themselves into form and they're looking

1771
01:35:52,439 --> 01:35:55,360
Speaker 28: a little bit more like last year's Super Bowl team

1772
01:35:55,920 --> 01:35:58,479
Speaker 28: and we're hoping that that can continue.

1773
01:35:58,479 --> 01:36:01,160
Speaker 22: But this week is the uh the tests.

1774
01:36:01,320 --> 01:36:04,040
Speaker 28: No, no disrespect to the Raiders and the Commanders, but

1775
01:36:04,840 --> 01:36:07,040
Speaker 28: those are games that the Eagles should have won.

1776
01:36:07,479 --> 01:36:07,559
Speaker 10: Uh.

1777
01:36:07,680 --> 01:36:10,320
Speaker 28: This will be a real test on the road against

1778
01:36:10,360 --> 01:36:13,040
Speaker 28: a team that has the same aspirations that the Eagles have.

1779
01:36:13,720 --> 01:36:17,800
Speaker 4: You said it, it really is about the way it looks, right.

1780
01:36:17,840 --> 01:36:20,360
Speaker 4: I Mean, the win is a win, but it doesn't

1781
01:36:20,400 --> 01:36:23,439
Speaker 4: give fans confidence when they're going out and they're they're

1782
01:36:23,439 --> 01:36:27,080
Speaker 4: squeaking by or it looks in fact, forget about it.

1783
01:36:27,080 --> 01:36:29,479
Speaker 4: It looks different than it did when they won the

1784
01:36:29,479 --> 01:36:33,440
Speaker 4: World Championship last year, and that gives fans some some hesitation,

1785
01:36:33,600 --> 01:36:34,280
Speaker 4: right at least.

1786
01:36:34,520 --> 01:36:39,439
Speaker 28: Yeah, yes, and and listen, we uh you know, as

1787
01:36:39,600 --> 01:36:45,639
Speaker 28: as a radio station down here, we like to help

1788
01:36:45,720 --> 01:36:49,680
Speaker 28: facilitate that and and and allow for fans to be

1789
01:36:49,720 --> 01:36:51,360
Speaker 28: able to vent their frustrations.

1790
01:36:52,360 --> 01:36:53,240
Speaker 22: And that's okay.

1791
01:36:53,439 --> 01:36:55,960
Speaker 28: I've been in this city for twenty eight years, right

1792
01:36:56,000 --> 01:36:59,160
Speaker 28: since I got drafted as a player. I understood it.

1793
01:36:59,240 --> 01:37:01,519
Speaker 28: You know, my old quarterback, of my old head coach,

1794
01:37:01,800 --> 01:37:05,000
Speaker 28: they called a lot of flack. We didn't play well.

1795
01:37:05,040 --> 01:37:08,400
Speaker 28: And it's just that way. So the fans aren't going

1796
01:37:08,479 --> 01:37:11,000
Speaker 28: to change. I tell the players all the time. You know,

1797
01:37:11,760 --> 01:37:14,040
Speaker 28: I'm like, listen, these fans aren't going to change. They

1798
01:37:14,040 --> 01:37:16,040
Speaker 28: were here before us, and they'll be here long after

1799
01:37:16,040 --> 01:37:16,840
Speaker 28: we're done playing.

1800
01:37:16,880 --> 01:37:20,720
Speaker 22: So it just comes with the territory of playing in Philadelphia.

1801
01:37:21,200 --> 01:37:23,000
Speaker 28: And you know, you got to be able to have

1802
01:37:23,080 --> 01:37:26,679
Speaker 28: thick skint and block some of that stuff out.

1803
01:37:27,600 --> 01:37:30,519
Speaker 2: I know there's a chance that Jalen Carter could be

1804
01:37:30,560 --> 01:37:32,960
Speaker 2: back in the lineup this week, and I mean, he's

1805
01:37:33,040 --> 01:37:37,599
Speaker 2: arguably your best defensive player. What is the deal with

1806
01:37:38,040 --> 01:37:41,679
Speaker 2: the two shoulders and what do you feel about whether

1807
01:37:41,840 --> 01:37:45,280
Speaker 2: or not he has been the same difference making player

1808
01:37:45,400 --> 01:37:47,400
Speaker 2: this year in comparison to last year.

1809
01:37:48,200 --> 01:37:51,599
Speaker 22: Well, I mean, this is no slight to Jalen.

1810
01:37:51,640 --> 01:37:54,960
Speaker 28: It's just how phenomenal he is as a player when

1811
01:37:54,960 --> 01:37:57,559
Speaker 28: he's healthy, and he displayed that last year.

1812
01:37:58,200 --> 01:38:00,840
Speaker 22: This year, he's just not been healthy. You know.

1813
01:38:01,439 --> 01:38:03,519
Speaker 28: He tried to sort of fight through it and play

1814
01:38:03,560 --> 01:38:06,600
Speaker 28: through it through the early portions of the season, and

1815
01:38:06,640 --> 01:38:08,600
Speaker 28: then reports came out that he had some sort of

1816
01:38:08,600 --> 01:38:12,080
Speaker 28: procedure to sort of alleviate some pain from his shoulders,

1817
01:38:12,280 --> 01:38:12,639
Speaker 28: and then.

1818
01:38:12,560 --> 01:38:16,080
Speaker 22: They realized that rest would be the best way to

1819
01:38:16,160 --> 01:38:16,680
Speaker 22: go for him.

1820
01:38:16,720 --> 01:38:20,120
Speaker 28: So to his credit, he tried to gut it out

1821
01:38:20,160 --> 01:38:22,720
Speaker 28: and be out there playing every snap. He hasn't been

1822
01:38:22,720 --> 01:38:26,120
Speaker 28: the same effective player consistently that we that we're accustomed

1823
01:38:26,160 --> 01:38:28,000
Speaker 28: to seeing. And I think a lot of it does

1824
01:38:28,080 --> 01:38:30,960
Speaker 28: have to do with him not being one hundred percent healthy.

1825
01:38:31,240 --> 01:38:33,000
Speaker 28: I know he's itching to get back out there, but

1826
01:38:33,040 --> 01:38:35,320
Speaker 28: they wanted him to take that time off so that

1827
01:38:35,400 --> 01:38:35,879
Speaker 28: he can.

1828
01:38:35,800 --> 01:38:37,360
Speaker 22: Have this playoff push.

1829
01:38:37,400 --> 01:38:40,519
Speaker 28: And so hopefully he's gonna be back this week because

1830
01:38:40,560 --> 01:38:42,880
Speaker 28: you held against that that that Buffalo offense in the

1831
01:38:42,960 --> 01:38:44,759
Speaker 28: run game, we're gonna need him out there.

1832
01:38:45,520 --> 01:38:48,040
Speaker 4: So and one of the differences this year. You know,

1833
01:38:48,120 --> 01:38:51,479
Speaker 4: Jalen Carter has been nicked up, and I say this,

1834
01:38:51,600 --> 01:38:53,160
Speaker 4: you can kind of see it coming down the pike.

1835
01:38:55,280 --> 01:38:57,559
Speaker 4: Saquon Barkley, you knew he wasn't gonna rush for another

1836
01:38:57,600 --> 01:38:59,920
Speaker 4: two thousand. You just haven't seen that. So you knew

1837
01:38:59,920 --> 01:39:02,160
Speaker 4: he would probably take a step back to the mean

1838
01:39:02,600 --> 01:39:05,320
Speaker 4: this season, and that in and of itself has changed

1839
01:39:05,360 --> 01:39:07,599
Speaker 4: the way their offense has. But they have still found

1840
01:39:07,680 --> 01:39:09,880
Speaker 4: ways to score enough points to win. And I know

1841
01:39:10,400 --> 01:39:13,559
Speaker 4: they went to a three game winning losing streak. You

1842
01:39:13,600 --> 01:39:15,760
Speaker 4: know three weeks ago they were coming off and that's all.

1843
01:39:15,880 --> 01:39:19,559
Speaker 4: That's tough for everybody in the whole building. Uh, how

1844
01:39:19,840 --> 01:39:21,760
Speaker 4: what do you think the tone of their locker room

1845
01:39:21,960 --> 01:39:24,439
Speaker 4: is now? Certainly the Commanders and the Raiders will get

1846
01:39:24,479 --> 01:39:27,000
Speaker 4: you back on track, but where's their locker.

1847
01:39:26,880 --> 01:39:33,360
Speaker 28: Room and getting those wins start to breathe positivity and

1848
01:39:33,360 --> 01:39:36,599
Speaker 28: in the in the uh, in the in the building.

1849
01:39:37,080 --> 01:39:41,240
Speaker 28: And you guys mentioned it, listen, Losing one game in

1850
01:39:41,240 --> 01:39:43,400
Speaker 28: this city is bad enough. You lose two in a row,

1851
01:39:43,600 --> 01:39:46,080
Speaker 28: three in a row, Yeah, we can't handle that. So

1852
01:39:46,680 --> 01:39:48,719
Speaker 28: and so, yeah, it was it was a pretty tough

1853
01:39:48,760 --> 01:39:51,680
Speaker 28: time there for those three or four weeks and the

1854
01:39:51,760 --> 01:39:56,479
Speaker 28: last couple of weeks, I gotta admit the the messaging

1855
01:39:56,600 --> 01:39:58,840
Speaker 28: coming out of the locker room has been a lot

1856
01:39:58,960 --> 01:40:03,519
Speaker 28: more uh unified and supportive of each other, and it

1857
01:40:03,600 --> 01:40:05,880
Speaker 28: seems like they're getting back on the right track.

1858
01:40:06,040 --> 01:40:10,519
Speaker 22: And you mentioned Saquon see physically, I'm.

1859
01:40:10,360 --> 01:40:14,240
Speaker 28: Sure he'll tell you there's no difference, but we see

1860
01:40:14,280 --> 01:40:17,360
Speaker 28: that there's a slight difference in what we saw last year.

1861
01:40:17,720 --> 01:40:20,280
Speaker 28: But I would say that the bigger issue has been

1862
01:40:20,320 --> 01:40:25,080
Speaker 28: the offensive line and them not being completely healthy all

1863
01:40:25,200 --> 01:40:28,280
Speaker 28: year long and not being as effective as they were

1864
01:40:28,400 --> 01:40:30,559
Speaker 28: last year. They're starting to get it going down the

1865
01:40:30,600 --> 01:40:33,200
Speaker 28: last couple of weeks. You know, they run the ball

1866
01:40:33,240 --> 01:40:35,080
Speaker 28: pretty well. Last week they ran it for over two

1867
01:40:35,160 --> 01:40:38,280
Speaker 28: hundred yards. So it's starting to look like the twenty

1868
01:40:38,320 --> 01:40:41,080
Speaker 28: twenty four Eagles compared to what we saw earlier. I

1869
01:40:41,080 --> 01:40:43,960
Speaker 28: mean those first man, those first ten to twelve games,

1870
01:40:44,040 --> 01:40:47,080
Speaker 28: running the ball, it was I mean, I don't know

1871
01:40:47,080 --> 01:40:49,400
Speaker 28: if Saquan was averaging three yards and carried, I mean,

1872
01:40:49,400 --> 01:40:50,320
Speaker 28: that's how bad it was.

1873
01:40:50,400 --> 01:40:50,960
Speaker 9: It was.

1874
01:40:51,040 --> 01:40:51,960
Speaker 22: It was pretty tough.

1875
01:40:52,360 --> 01:40:54,400
Speaker 28: And they're starting to get back to doing that, and

1876
01:40:54,439 --> 01:40:58,080
Speaker 28: I think that's where they want to be as an identity.

1877
01:40:58,360 --> 01:41:00,240
Speaker 28: They want to run the football. They want to trying

1878
01:41:00,280 --> 01:41:02,679
Speaker 28: to run the football. That sets up the passing game.

1879
01:41:04,000 --> 01:41:06,559
Speaker 28: Jalen being a part of the running game has also

1880
01:41:06,720 --> 01:41:10,080
Speaker 28: helped over the last couple of weeks. So they're starting

1881
01:41:10,160 --> 01:41:13,040
Speaker 28: to get back to being where they were last year.

1882
01:41:13,040 --> 01:41:15,000
Speaker 22: And I think it's because we're starting to get a little.

1883
01:41:14,760 --> 01:41:17,800
Speaker 2: Healthier on the defensive side. I mean, I know I

1884
01:41:17,840 --> 01:41:20,479
Speaker 2: mentioned Carter already, but you know, the two corners get

1885
01:41:20,560 --> 01:41:23,160
Speaker 2: named to the Pro Bowl. I mean young players, I

1886
01:41:23,160 --> 01:41:25,840
Speaker 2: mean still on their rookie contracts, but I mean you

1887
01:41:25,840 --> 01:41:28,880
Speaker 2: look at some of their numbers pass breakups alone. You know,

1888
01:41:29,000 --> 01:41:33,519
Speaker 2: between de Jine and Mitchell, like these guys, if they

1889
01:41:33,520 --> 01:41:35,599
Speaker 2: don't have a ton of picks, they are getting their

1890
01:41:35,640 --> 01:41:39,000
Speaker 2: hands in passing lanes an awful lot. Like how hard

1891
01:41:39,080 --> 01:41:40,640
Speaker 2: is it to throw on this team?

1892
01:41:41,720 --> 01:41:44,960
Speaker 28: It's it's it's been a great pleasure to watch the

1893
01:41:45,040 --> 01:41:47,280
Speaker 28: last two years. I mean, both of these young guys

1894
01:41:47,880 --> 01:41:52,519
Speaker 28: had phenomenal rookie seasons and then you know, they took

1895
01:41:52,560 --> 01:41:55,240
Speaker 28: their game to the next level coming back to second year.

1896
01:41:55,560 --> 01:41:57,840
Speaker 22: Even after all the success they had last year and

1897
01:41:57,840 --> 01:41:58,519
Speaker 22: winning the Super Bowl.

1898
01:41:58,600 --> 01:42:00,840
Speaker 28: Sometimes you just don't know what young players and how

1899
01:42:00,880 --> 01:42:03,479
Speaker 28: they're gonna come back to next year. These two were

1900
01:42:03,680 --> 01:42:08,320
Speaker 28: tremendously hard this offseason. Quinnyon, I'll start with him. He

1901
01:42:08,640 --> 01:42:10,880
Speaker 28: doesn't get a whole lot of opportunities over there because

1902
01:42:10,880 --> 01:42:15,000
Speaker 28: he's just want to throw to his side. He's taken

1903
01:42:15,040 --> 01:42:17,519
Speaker 28: his game to the next level because this year he's

1904
01:42:17,640 --> 01:42:20,040
Speaker 28: traveled with the top receivers a lot.

1905
01:42:20,200 --> 01:42:21,000
Speaker 22: So whether it's.

1906
01:42:20,920 --> 01:42:24,200
Speaker 28: Left, right, slad or what have you, Quinyon has traveled

1907
01:42:24,240 --> 01:42:27,680
Speaker 28: with those guys. And outside of Patrick certain in the

1908
01:42:27,720 --> 01:42:31,679
Speaker 28: second I think Quinnon mitchell is is an all pro corner.

1909
01:42:31,760 --> 01:42:34,600
Speaker 28: He's the top two corner in this league with his abilities.

1910
01:42:34,840 --> 01:42:37,960
Speaker 28: And Cooper Dejeen, who I loved coming out of college.

1911
01:42:38,280 --> 01:42:40,120
Speaker 28: I wanted to equals to take him in the first round.

1912
01:42:40,760 --> 01:42:42,840
Speaker 28: Last year they got him lucky enough to get him

1913
01:42:42,880 --> 01:42:45,519
Speaker 28: in the second round. I just think he's a complete

1914
01:42:45,520 --> 01:42:47,920
Speaker 28: football player. You can line him up inside, you can

1915
01:42:47,960 --> 01:42:50,280
Speaker 28: line him up outside, you can put him in that

1916
01:42:50,360 --> 01:42:52,840
Speaker 28: box as a quasi linebacker.

1917
01:42:53,160 --> 01:42:54,360
Speaker 22: He's a short tackler.

1918
01:42:55,640 --> 01:42:58,280
Speaker 28: I just love watching him both play two young guys,

1919
01:42:58,400 --> 01:43:03,240
Speaker 28: very humble, very confident, and you look at that defense

1920
01:43:03,320 --> 01:43:05,720
Speaker 28: with those young players over there, including Jalen Carter and

1921
01:43:05,840 --> 01:43:06,679
Speaker 28: Jordan Davis.

1922
01:43:07,160 --> 01:43:08,840
Speaker 22: The future is right for young guys.

1923
01:43:08,880 --> 01:43:12,559
Speaker 28: So we're happy to see those young guys get get

1924
01:43:12,560 --> 01:43:15,000
Speaker 28: the Pro Bowl nod this year because they certainly have

1925
01:43:15,040 --> 01:43:15,880
Speaker 28: played at that level.

1926
01:43:16,400 --> 01:43:18,519
Speaker 4: Mike, We've had some narrative here in Buffalo about the

1927
01:43:18,560 --> 01:43:21,519
Speaker 4: AFC bracket being a little bit more wide open. Mahomes

1928
01:43:21,520 --> 01:43:23,320
Speaker 4: is out of the playoffs, Lamar's out of the playoffs,

1929
01:43:23,360 --> 01:43:25,160
Speaker 4: Joe Burrow's out of the playoffs, and it's a little

1930
01:43:25,240 --> 01:43:27,640
Speaker 4: looks a little bit at first glance like that's the

1931
01:43:27,720 --> 01:43:30,080
Speaker 4: case in the NFC. Seattle is a team going there,

1932
01:43:30,160 --> 01:43:32,639
Speaker 4: haven't been there in a while. Chicago, of course, hasn't

1933
01:43:32,680 --> 01:43:35,120
Speaker 4: been there in a while. In Carolina, the three other

1934
01:43:35,200 --> 01:43:39,480
Speaker 4: divisional leaders, they don't seem to have very much playoff experience.

1935
01:43:39,840 --> 01:43:42,000
Speaker 4: But the Philadelphia Eagles, you guys, you know you're the

1936
01:43:42,000 --> 01:43:44,759
Speaker 4: first repeat champion of the NFC East in twenty one years.

1937
01:43:45,880 --> 01:43:49,720
Speaker 28: Yeah, you know where it's funny because when you are

1938
01:43:49,840 --> 01:43:53,800
Speaker 28: defending champions, right, you're you're sort of judged diffinitely. So

1939
01:43:54,360 --> 01:43:57,519
Speaker 28: we went from being sort of expected to be there

1940
01:43:57,640 --> 01:44:02,479
Speaker 28: and repeat, and because it hasn't looked as good to

1941
01:44:02,560 --> 01:44:05,960
Speaker 28: a lot of people who are analyzing the team.

1942
01:44:06,520 --> 01:44:09,559
Speaker 22: We've almost slid into an underdog role.

1943
01:44:10,280 --> 01:44:13,400
Speaker 28: It's almost like the Rams and Seattle have been talked

1944
01:44:13,400 --> 01:44:13,880
Speaker 28: about more.

1945
01:44:14,160 --> 01:44:15,040
Speaker 22: Especially the Rams.

1946
01:44:15,040 --> 01:44:17,200
Speaker 28: You know they have they won a Super Bowl four

1947
01:44:17,320 --> 01:44:21,040
Speaker 28: years ago, Matthew Stafford is playing at an MVP level.

1948
01:44:21,680 --> 01:44:22,200
Speaker 21: This year.

1949
01:44:22,560 --> 01:44:25,960
Speaker 28: They seem to be clicking on all cylinders. So we've

1950
01:44:26,000 --> 01:44:29,760
Speaker 28: gotten more of can you beat the Rams? And you know,

1951
01:44:29,840 --> 01:44:32,360
Speaker 28: can you beat the Rams this year? And so that's

1952
01:44:32,439 --> 01:44:35,120
Speaker 28: kind of I can appreciate that because we've kind of

1953
01:44:35,160 --> 01:44:39,240
Speaker 28: performed better in the underdog role. It's tough when everybody

1954
01:44:39,280 --> 01:44:41,519
Speaker 28: expects us to win and we don't handle that very well.

1955
01:44:41,840 --> 01:44:45,120
Speaker 28: So I think the narrative we've been getting this, are

1956
01:44:45,160 --> 01:44:47,519
Speaker 28: you guys going to be good enough to beat the Rams?

1957
01:44:47,520 --> 01:44:50,080
Speaker 22: The Rams are the team to beat in the NFC.

1958
01:44:50,439 --> 01:44:52,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was a tight playoff game between you two

1959
01:44:53,160 --> 01:44:55,920
Speaker 2: Tess last year. I mean, you guys kind of narrowly

1960
01:44:56,040 --> 01:44:58,880
Speaker 2: escaped and then pulled away at the end. I have

1961
01:44:58,920 --> 01:45:02,200
Speaker 2: an offensive question for you, Ike, because we know all

1962
01:45:02,240 --> 01:45:05,120
Speaker 2: the angst and the back and forth with AJ Brown

1963
01:45:05,200 --> 01:45:07,280
Speaker 2: that looks to have been smoothed over here in the

1964
01:45:07,439 --> 01:45:10,759
Speaker 2: in recent weeks. My question to you is about Dallas Goddard.

1965
01:45:10,840 --> 01:45:13,439
Speaker 2: We know he's battled injuries in the past, He's had

1966
01:45:13,479 --> 01:45:16,880
Speaker 2: trouble staying healthy. This year, he not only leads the

1967
01:45:16,920 --> 01:45:19,559
Speaker 2: team with ten receiving touchdowns, he leads all tight ends

1968
01:45:19,560 --> 01:45:24,000
Speaker 2: in football with ten touchdowns this year. What has been

1969
01:45:24,600 --> 01:45:29,400
Speaker 2: the secret to his sharp spike in production from a

1970
01:45:29,439 --> 01:45:33,679
Speaker 2: scoring perspective, and how has Jalen and he connected most?

1971
01:45:33,760 --> 01:45:35,960
Speaker 2: Is it strictly red zone stuff or is it more

1972
01:45:36,320 --> 01:45:37,080
Speaker 2: varied than that.

1973
01:45:38,200 --> 01:45:39,680
Speaker 28: A lot of it is in the red zone, but

1974
01:45:39,800 --> 01:45:41,920
Speaker 28: it's certainly out in the open field.

1975
01:45:43,360 --> 01:45:45,400
Speaker 22: I love that they have finally connected. You know.

1976
01:45:45,479 --> 01:45:47,960
Speaker 28: Part of it is, you know Dallas has missed time

1977
01:45:48,040 --> 01:45:50,679
Speaker 28: over the last couple of years. You know, he'll miss

1978
01:45:50,760 --> 01:45:53,160
Speaker 28: three or four games here at three or four games there,

1979
01:45:53,600 --> 01:45:57,040
Speaker 28: and so that rhythm wasn't necessary. It seems like this

1980
01:45:57,160 --> 01:46:01,000
Speaker 28: year they found that connection, especially down in the red zone.

1981
01:46:01,040 --> 01:46:02,759
Speaker 22: We've been screaming about that for years.

1982
01:46:02,560 --> 01:46:05,479
Speaker 28: Like youse, Dallas got it six', Five you got that

1983
01:46:05,560 --> 01:46:10,439
Speaker 28: big body's very, athletic and they connected early and, often

1984
01:46:10,520 --> 01:46:13,200
Speaker 28: And i'm glad they've sort of stuck with. It happy For,

1985
01:46:13,320 --> 01:46:16,760
Speaker 28: dallas he's he's BEEN i think this is eighth or

1986
01:46:16,920 --> 01:46:18,000
Speaker 28: ninth year with The.

1987
01:46:18,040 --> 01:46:19,719
Speaker 22: Eagles so it's.

1988
01:46:19,600 --> 01:46:22,800
Speaker 28: Good to see he's, finally you, know planning to that

1989
01:46:22,880 --> 01:46:25,320
Speaker 28: level that everybody expects him to sort of play. To

1990
01:46:25,880 --> 01:46:29,600
Speaker 28: and in this, offense it can't be easy when you

1991
01:46:29,680 --> 01:46:31,880
Speaker 28: have so many different mouths that have to be. Fed

1992
01:46:32,000 --> 01:46:34,799
Speaker 28: you Got Davonte, smith you got Aj, brown you Got Sakuon,

1993
01:46:34,920 --> 01:46:37,400
Speaker 28: barkley so you have to make the most of your

1994
01:46:37,439 --> 01:46:41,160
Speaker 28: opportunities when they. Come AND i think for whatever, Reason

1995
01:46:41,240 --> 01:46:45,400
Speaker 28: jalen has found that comfort level With dallas working the hash,

1996
01:46:45,479 --> 01:46:48,719
Speaker 28: marks working him outside the, numbers and like you, said

1997
01:46:48,760 --> 01:46:51,599
Speaker 28: more importantly down in their red, zone that big body

1998
01:46:51,640 --> 01:46:53,960
Speaker 28: down in the red. Zone you know a lot of

1999
01:46:53,960 --> 01:46:58,360
Speaker 28: those Touchdowns dallas has covered and you Know jalen has

2000
01:46:58,400 --> 01:47:00,519
Speaker 28: just put it up there And dallas pulls it out

2001
01:47:00,560 --> 01:47:04,280
Speaker 28: of the. Sky so he has been a pleasure to

2002
01:47:04,320 --> 01:47:07,120
Speaker 28: watch this. Year we always knew that the ability was.

2003
01:47:07,160 --> 01:47:09,360
Speaker 28: There it's just a matter of him playing to that.

2004
01:47:09,439 --> 01:47:13,280
Speaker 4: Level last one for, ME i think you Mentioned Saquon.

2005
01:47:13,320 --> 01:47:15,080
Speaker 4: Barkley we knew he'd take a step back a little,

2006
01:47:15,080 --> 01:47:16,840
Speaker 4: bit and he said the offensive line hasn't been as.

2007
01:47:16,840 --> 01:47:19,559
Speaker 4: Productive how big a difference Would Lane johnson make if

2008
01:47:19,600 --> 01:47:21,680
Speaker 4: he is indeed back in the lineup this. Week you

2009
01:47:21,720 --> 01:47:23,800

2010
01:47:23,840 --> 01:47:27,080
Speaker 4: he is one of the all. TIMERS i, mean can

2011
01:47:27,120 --> 01:47:29,640
Speaker 4: getting a guy like, that not just the, production but

2012
01:47:29,680 --> 01:47:32,439
Speaker 4: also the voice and the presence back in the. Huddle

2013
01:47:32,479 --> 01:47:34,760
Speaker 4: how big a difference could that make going down the.

2014
01:47:34,800 --> 01:47:37,160
Speaker 28: STRETCH i THINK i think it makes a big. Difference

2015
01:47:37,760 --> 01:47:40,599
Speaker 28: he's one of the elder statess on the. Team, well

2016

2018
01:47:49,400 --> 01:47:51,880

2019
01:47:51,880 --> 01:47:55,840
Speaker 28: there that whole group, collectively they just feel more.

2020
01:47:55,880 --> 01:47:58,759
Speaker 22: Confident they know the greatness in Which lane.

2021
01:47:58,800 --> 01:48:01,559
Speaker 28: Brings you're talking to about a guy that can get

2022
01:48:01,600 --> 01:48:04,680
Speaker 28: out on the perimeter and. Block he's very, athletic And

2023

Speaker 22: Lane he's just not the athlete That lane.

2026
01:48:11,560 --> 01:48:14,559
Speaker 28: Is When lane gets in the open, field so and

2027
01:48:14,560 --> 01:48:17,639
Speaker 28: they're running those stretch plays down the. Field so we'll

2028
01:48:17,680 --> 01:48:20,880
Speaker 28: certainly be excited when he comes. Back hoping it's this,

2029

2031
01:48:26,360 --> 01:48:26,919
Speaker 28: a collective.

2032
01:48:27,000 --> 01:48:30,160
Speaker 22: UNIT i think in the run game they're, awesome but probably.

2033
01:48:29,880 --> 01:48:33,080
Speaker 28: More, importantly in the passing, game you almost don't even

2034
01:48:33,080 --> 01:48:36,280
Speaker 28: have to worry about putting anybody over there to Help

Speaker 28: lane lank and take care of whomever he has to

2036
01:48:38,360 --> 01:48:40,439

2059
01:49:59,880 --> 01:50:02,720
Speaker 2: a start to either send a challenge to players to.

2060
01:50:02,760 --> 01:50:07,960
Speaker 4: PREPARE i think the differences are. OBVIOUS i mean the different.

Speaker 4: eight o'clock, game you gotta flop around and just kind

2063
01:50:12,479 --> 01:50:14,400
Speaker 4: of hang out for an entire day before we even

2064
01:50:14,439 --> 01:50:19,360
Speaker 4: go to the. Stadium. Right IT'S i think most people realize,

2065
01:50:19,360 --> 01:50:23,840
Speaker 4: this but in THE, nfl it is really comforting to

2066
01:50:23,960 --> 01:50:29,280
Speaker 4: have a. Routine sunday's at one. O'clock you Got, mondays

2067

2070
01:50:39,000 --> 01:50:43,080

2071
01:50:43,320 --> 01:50:47,320
Speaker 4: Routine is what players really thrive, on particularly given the

2072
01:50:47,360 --> 01:50:49,559
Speaker 4: fact AND i allude to this all the, time AND

2073
01:50:50,720 --> 01:50:52,320
Speaker 4: i don't know IF i don't know if most people

2074
01:50:52,320 --> 01:50:57,320
Speaker 4: can relate to. It when you're under physical pain and

2075
01:50:57,439 --> 01:51:03,640
Speaker 4: under physical. Stress team is really really. Comforting you know

2076
01:51:03,680 --> 01:51:05,920
Speaker 4: how much time you have to get. Ready you can

2077
01:51:06,080 --> 01:51:08,040
Speaker 4: formulate in your mind how long it's gonna take you

2078
01:51:08,120 --> 01:51:11,000
Speaker 4: to get, ready what it might feel like two days from,

2079
01:51:11,000 --> 01:51:12,640
Speaker 4: now so you can kind of give your coaches and

2080
01:51:12,680 --> 01:51:15,080
Speaker 4: your teammates and idea is like CAN i go this?

2081

01:51:29,760 --> 01:51:33,840
Speaker 4: Season anything that you do to disrupt that bothers you

2088
01:51:33,880 --> 01:51:37,519
Speaker 4: as a football player and as a team. Collectively now

2089
01:51:38,800 --> 01:51:41,759
Speaker 4: the thing that nobody gets IF i can just humanize

2090
01:51:41,760 --> 01:51:48,080
Speaker 4: the game, Further these guys got wives and, kids and It's, christmas.

2091
01:51:48,479 --> 01:51:53,400
Speaker 4: Yep and you know the people talk about the sac

2092
01:51:54,040 --> 01:51:55,760
Speaker 4: these are kind of some of the sacrifices you make

2093
01:51:55,800 --> 01:52:00,799
Speaker 4: personally to do the. Job, certainly your compensate it handsomely

2094
01:52:00,840 --> 01:52:03,479
Speaker 4: to do, it but your, mom your kid's never signed

2095
01:52:03,520 --> 01:52:06,559
Speaker 4: up for. That you, know your wife kind of gets.

2096
01:52:06,640 --> 01:52:11,400
Speaker 4: It but there are times when you're just absent for

2097
01:52:11,479 --> 01:52:13,759
Speaker 4: no other reason than you're in at the stadium standing

2098
01:52:13,760 --> 01:52:18,320
Speaker 4: around with your friends on a football. Field and the

2099
01:52:18,360 --> 01:52:22,040
Speaker 4: attitude that you bring to work is typical of everybody's.

2100
01:52:22,080 --> 01:52:24,760
Speaker 4: Attitude you're working on a, holiday everybody's looking sideways at

2101
01:52:24,760 --> 01:52:26,880
Speaker 4: each other like what are we doing? Here you, know,

2102

2103
01:52:30,640 --> 01:52:34,720
Speaker 4: mean nobody else is, working, Right so all of that

2104
01:52:34,760 --> 01:52:37,720
Speaker 4: goes into the stew of how well you play and

2105
01:52:37,720 --> 01:52:43,200
Speaker 4: what it means to you and how much you like your. Job, so,

2106
01:52:43,320 --> 01:52:46,880
Speaker 4: yeah it's a lot more difficult anytime they mess with the.

2107
01:52:47,000 --> 01:52:49,960
Speaker 4: Routine and when you throw holidays in personal time and

2108
01:52:50,000 --> 01:52:53,080
Speaker 4: families on top of, that that's another.

2109
01:52:52,800 --> 01:52:54,720

Speaker 2: off when we're supposed, to and it's like it's just

2196
01:57:04,360 --> 01:57:06,720
Speaker 2: one thing After at that, point, though you're just so

2197
01:57:06,880 --> 01:57:09,960

02:01:29,680 --> 02:01:32,880
Speaker 29: have that backs against the wall mentality and you, know

2289
02:01:33,000 --> 02:01:34,480
Speaker 29: try to play our best football going into.

2290
02:01:34,520 --> 02:01:38,360
Speaker 30: It print the last couple of weeks in terms of

2291
02:01:38,400 --> 02:01:41,920
Speaker 30: your guys performance and production on the road as compared to.

2292
02:01:41,920 --> 02:01:47,520
Speaker 29: Earlier this, season well, security, yeah not putting ourselves in bad.

2293
02:01:47,520 --> 02:01:50,560
Speaker 29: Situations he's finding a.

2294
02:01:50,640 --> 02:01:53,960
Speaker 2: Hole from your, perspective what's that like to watch year after.

2295
02:01:54,040 --> 02:01:56,800
Speaker 29: Year it's so. Fun you, know you become a fan

2296
02:01:56,920 --> 02:01:59,480
Speaker 29: because there's really nothing you can do once he skirts

2297
02:01:59,480 --> 02:02:02,760
Speaker 29: past you yards because you Know i'm not catching him

2298
02:02:02,880 --> 02:02:06,160
Speaker 29: and typically the defenses aren't. Either so it's fun to

2299
02:02:06,280 --> 02:02:08,080
Speaker 29: kind of hand it, off turn, around put my hands

2300
02:02:08,120 --> 02:02:09,320
Speaker 29: up in the, air and just kind of watch him

2301
02:02:09,360 --> 02:02:12,560
Speaker 29: go to. Work and you, know he's having a fantastic

2302
02:02:12,640 --> 02:02:14,840
Speaker 29: year for, us and, uh you, know super glad he's

2303
02:02:14,840 --> 02:02:15,080

2304
02:02:15,080 --> 02:02:17,240
Speaker 25: Team valuable has he been to this?

2305
02:02:17,320 --> 02:02:21,800
Speaker 29: Team extremely. Valuable he makes our offense go and you

2306
02:02:21,840 --> 02:02:24,960
Speaker 29: know it's not just in the run, game it's it's

2307
02:02:25,000 --> 02:02:27,280
Speaker 29: in the past game. Too AND i, think you, know

2308
02:02:27,360 --> 02:02:29,480
Speaker 29: you watch him as a, teammate how selfless he is

2309
02:02:29,560 --> 02:02:32,080
Speaker 29: and one of the first ones to Celebrate Ti johnson

2310
02:02:32,080 --> 02:02:34,600
Speaker 29: when he gets in the end. Zone you, know all

Speaker 29: he cares about is team. Success and you, KNOW i

2312
02:02:37,160 --> 02:02:40,000

2313
02:02:40,000 --> 02:02:43,040
Speaker 29: success because you know he's not really driven by. That

2314
02:02:43,080 --> 02:02:46,160

Speaker 29: to continue to work hard and getting on the same

2345
02:04:13,960 --> 02:04:18,160
Speaker 29: page and right in that. Ship and you, know when

2347
02:04:21,080 --> 02:04:22,400
Speaker 29: faith at we're going to make.

2348
02:04:22,440 --> 02:04:25,760
Speaker 30: Those the league has a funny way of going through

2349
02:04:25,800 --> 02:04:29,120
Speaker 30: cycles of offensive, trends defensive, trends and a couple of

2350
02:04:29,160 --> 02:04:31,720
Speaker 30: years ago it was, all you, know spread everybody, out you,

2351
02:04:31,760 --> 02:04:35,000
Speaker 30: know especially this. Offense you know treader about now it's

2352
02:04:35,160 --> 02:04:38,040
Speaker 30: you're doing a lot more under, center great tight ends

2353
02:04:38,160 --> 02:04:40,600
Speaker 30: play action that maybe you've done more so in your.

2354
02:04:40,640 --> 02:04:43,640
Speaker 30: Career can you just kind of share the evolution OF

2355
02:04:45,080 --> 02:04:49,120
Speaker 30: i guess just there are new trends in terms of football,

2356
02:04:49,120 --> 02:04:51,560
Speaker 30: stematics but they're maybe new to this offense and you

2357
02:04:51,720 --> 02:04:54,200
Speaker 30: to think that you haven't always leaned.

2358
02:04:53,960 --> 02:04:54,360
Speaker 7: On in your.

2359
02:04:54,400 --> 02:04:58,120
Speaker 29: Career, YEAH i, mean it's, uh it's crazy to be

2360
02:04:58,160 --> 02:05:00,760
Speaker 29: a part of just the cycles of like you, said football.

2361
02:05:00,760 --> 02:05:05,480
Speaker 29: Evolution and when guys on defense get really fast and

2362
02:05:05,680 --> 02:05:08,400
Speaker 29: side to side, speed the offense is typically get some

2363
02:05:08,440 --> 02:05:10,840
Speaker 29: bigger bodies and start going a little more downhill and

2364
02:05:10,840 --> 02:05:13,560
Speaker 29: then when defense try to combat, that they get bigger

2365
02:05:13,560 --> 02:05:16,800
Speaker 29: guys inside and then you want to spread them. Out so, it's, uh,

2366
02:05:17,800 --> 02:05:21,640
Speaker 29: yeah it's it's just again just figuring out ways to

2367
02:05:21,680 --> 02:05:24,840
Speaker 29: win football games and to be successful, offense and you,

2368
02:05:24,840 --> 02:05:28,040
Speaker 29: know trusting our offensive staff of finding new ways to

2369
02:05:29,120 --> 02:05:31,960
Speaker 29: uh new. Ways, right they're they're all old, ways but

2370
02:05:33,120 --> 02:05:36,040
Speaker 29: new ways for us to to be a good offense

2371
02:05:36,080 --> 02:05:38,200
Speaker 29: and doing what it takes to win football. Games so

2372
02:05:39,200 --> 02:05:41,040
Speaker 29: at this, point it's again it's whatever it takes to.

2438
02:08:55,520 --> 02:08:58,640
Speaker 4: from him production wise or not enough anyway production, wise

2439
02:08:58,680 --> 02:09:00,560
Speaker 4: and you don't see him on the stat sheet as a,

2440
02:09:00,600 --> 02:09:03,440
Speaker 4: receiver what are we? Doing and maybe somebody else can

2441
02:09:03,480 --> 02:09:05,200
Speaker 4: get more out of, him or you can convince him

2442
02:09:05,240 --> 02:09:08,240
Speaker 4: that convince other teams that he'd be better with them

2443
02:09:08,280 --> 02:09:12,760
Speaker 4: than he is with. You sure that conversation has been

2444
02:09:12,800 --> 02:09:16,680
Speaker 4: brought up to us on the. Show and anytime you

2445
02:09:16,720 --> 02:09:20,160
Speaker 4: get a young player who seemingly has the gifts That

2446
02:09:20,320 --> 02:09:24,400
Speaker 4: keon does and he's not on the, field, yeah you

2447
02:09:24,480 --> 02:09:27,480
Speaker 4: got to question why and what that means for his. Future.

2448
02:09:28,800 --> 02:09:31,520
Speaker 2: Yeah and at the same time you have to assess

2449
02:09:31,960 --> 02:09:36,080
Speaker 2: what is his rate of development and is this offseason

2450
02:09:36,200 --> 02:09:38,240
Speaker 2: rolling into next season going to make a difference in

2451
02:09:38,280 --> 02:09:40,680
Speaker 2: his game and what he can offer them on a

2452
02:09:40,680 --> 02:09:42,640
Speaker 2: week two week. BASIS i, Mean steve would be the

2453
02:09:42,640 --> 02:09:45,240
Speaker 2: first to tell You Eric moles didn't explode until his

2454
02:09:45,280 --> 02:09:49,440
Speaker 2: third season After steve hung him. Up steve Saw eric

2455
02:09:49,480 --> 02:09:52,760
Speaker 2: moles first two years in A bill's. Uniform he was

2456
02:09:52,800 --> 02:09:55,160
Speaker 2: a glorified kick. Returner as a, rookie he couldn't even

2457
02:09:55,200 --> 02:09:57,000
Speaker 2: get on the field, offensively.

2458
02:09:56,760 --> 02:09:59,040
Speaker 4: And that was a little bit of the head Coach

2459
02:09:59,160 --> 02:10:02,680
Speaker 4: marv didn't. Like wasn't fond of play in young, players

2460
02:10:04,920 --> 02:10:08,480
Speaker 4: and he got some pressure From jim to play an

2461
02:10:08,480 --> 02:10:11,240
Speaker 4: old special teams player at slot instead of putting a

2462
02:10:11,280 --> 02:10:14,360
Speaker 4: young first round draft pick on The there's all kinds

2463
02:10:14,400 --> 02:10:17,640
Speaker 4: of dynamics that work. There But eric was an elite

2464
02:10:17,720 --> 02:10:21,320
Speaker 4: athlete who did, emerge who had A hall Of fame,

2465
02:10:21,360 --> 02:10:24,600
Speaker 4: ability and his problem was the timing of his career

2466
02:10:24,600 --> 02:10:26,360
Speaker 4: for the organization he was a part. Of for a

2467
02:10:26,400 --> 02:10:28,720
Speaker 4: large measure of the productive part of his, career he

2468
02:10:28,760 --> 02:10:33,040
Speaker 4: was in a drought with The bills playoff. Drought so,

2469
02:10:34,120 --> 02:10:38,520
Speaker 4: yeah it can take some time for some. Players we've

2470
02:10:38,560 --> 02:10:42,040
Speaker 4: seen it happen here a number of. TIMES i think

2471
02:10:42,080 --> 02:10:46,280
Speaker 4: in this day and, age particularly in this, building you

2472
02:10:46,400 --> 02:10:49,040
Speaker 4: tend to see development a lot faster for some guys

2473
02:10:49,120 --> 02:10:54,680
Speaker 4: rather than. Others Like Christian, benford he developed in like six,

2474
02:10:54,800 --> 02:11:01,440
Speaker 4: weeks you, KNOW i, mean think about, It Terre Tarren,

2475
02:11:01,520 --> 02:11:04,520
Speaker 4: Johnson Matt. Mulano these guys went from mid round picks

2476
02:11:04,520 --> 02:11:07,680
Speaker 4: and all of a sudden they're in this environment and

2477
02:11:07,960 --> 02:11:12,000
Speaker 4: they get good. Fast other, guys it doesn't work for

2478
02:11:12,080 --> 02:11:16,760
Speaker 4: it doesn't. Happen and to, me you put that on the,

2479
02:11:16,760 --> 02:11:20,520
Speaker 4: player not really on the culture or the coaching. STAFF i,

2480
02:11:20,560 --> 02:11:24,040
Speaker 4: mean this coaching staff is really good at. Development you've

2481
02:11:24,040 --> 02:11:27,880
Speaker 4: seen it year after year after year after. Year and

2482
02:11:28,080 --> 02:11:30,080
Speaker 4: if they get a guy who's not getting it or

2483
02:11:30,120 --> 02:11:32,640
Speaker 4: can't get it or, whatever you're never GONNA i think

2484
02:11:32,720 --> 02:11:35,000
Speaker 4: you're probably never gonna see a guy go someplace else

2485
02:11:35,040 --> 02:11:39,000
Speaker 4: and play. Better there's some, exceptions but not very.

2517
02:13:20,000 --> 02:13:24,280
Speaker 2: Right in the late, nineties that's WHEN i think the

2518
02:13:24,280 --> 02:13:27,360
Speaker 2: the fear of the team moving had reached its. Peak

2519
02:13:27,920 --> 02:13:30,400
Speaker 2: in the late, nineties that's when they had to organize

2520
02:13:30,400 --> 02:13:33,760
Speaker 2: the business, backs The Bills committee to try to get you,

2521
02:13:33,800 --> 02:13:40,400
Speaker 2: know local business mobilized to raise money and to invest

2522
02:13:41,120 --> 02:13:44,400
Speaker 2: and you know sell out the dugout suites and luxury

2523
02:13:44,440 --> 02:13:48,000
Speaker 2: suites and all of that. Real and FORTUNATELY fluti had

2524
02:13:48,040 --> 02:13:50,520
Speaker 2: AN nfl Comeback player of The year type season and

2525
02:13:50,560 --> 02:13:53,680
Speaker 2: that filled the seats pretty easily and helped drive all

2526
02:13:53,760 --> 02:13:57,840
Speaker 2: that because there was a real fear that the team

2527
02:13:57,920 --> 02:13:58,480
Speaker 2: was going to be on the.

2528
02:13:58,480 --> 02:14:00,720

2529

02:14:01,160 --> 02:14:02,360
