Speaker 2: All Right, it is a Tuesday here on One Bill's Live.

3
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 2: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you. Thanks for making us

4
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 2: a part of your afternoon.

5
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 3: Let's go.

6
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:46,240
Speaker 2: Good to be back with you after we were radio

7
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 2: only yesterday for our MSG viewers, welcome back. Good to

8
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,599
Speaker 2: be back with you as well. And we'll get to

9
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,279
Speaker 2: some Bills news and notes here shortly, because there are

10
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 2: some things that are percolating concerning Sunday's game and obviously

11
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 2: our topic of discussion. We'll be dealing with Sunday's game

12
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 2: as well as we kind of make our way through

13
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:10,399
Speaker 2: the long and storied history already between these two clubs

14
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 2: over the last pretty much five years, so not just

15
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:19,960
Speaker 2: regular season history, but post playoff history as well. So

16
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 2: we'll cover any and all of that through the course

17
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,680
Speaker 2: of today's show and probably the rest of the week.

18
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 2: This week's game and the proud sponsor of this year's

19
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 2: playoffs is Northtown Automotive Group. Whatever you're looking for, you'll

20
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 2: find it at Northtown, the official automotive dealer of the

21
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:42,320
Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills. Steve lived in Snowband Central last night. I, however,

22
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 2: am outside, said snowband. And I was just, you know,

23
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 2: shoveling off a couple of inches this morning, feel a

24
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 2: little bit different.

25
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 3: I did my driveway last and I think I had

26
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 3: just under a foot nah, ten inches, seven to eight

27
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 3: inches eight inches, let's say three qus that's actually three

28
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 3: quarters of a foot. But I did it twice and

29
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 3: the second one was a little bit more.

30
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 2: All right, so you probably got close to a foot

31
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 2: and a half.

32
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm thinking of foot and a half maybe, yeah,

33
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,799
Speaker 3: between fourteen and seventeen, you know, somewhere in there. Yeah,

34
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 3: foot and a half. And you know it, it snowed

35
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 3: a little bit this morning and stuff. I had to

36
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:19,959
Speaker 3: do it last night and I had to do it

37
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:25,239
Speaker 3: again today. And it's cold, man, it's so bad out. Yeah.

38
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 2: I was driving to work and my car said six

39
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 2: degrees last night, that's without the wind.

40
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 3: We were out and about doing some things last night,

41
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 3: and it was horrific on the roads last night. Horrific. Yeah.

42
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:38,399
Speaker 2: Down this way.

43
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 3: Down here, Yeah, south of Walden Avenue right is where

44
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,679
Speaker 3: it kind of started started and got worse and worse

45
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 3: the further south he came in it. But you know, maybe,

46
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 3: all right, we've got to handle on it. We'll outlast it.

47
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, the snowband right now is up north. It's north

48
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 2: of the city, right.

49
00:02:58,960 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 3: It swung north.

50
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 2: So it's funny because I'm like in in betweenville because

51
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 2: if the north town gets it, I might get the

52
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 2: fringes of that, and if the south towns get it,

53
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 2: I might get the.

54
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 3: Fringe of that, but you never get the bruns.

55
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 2: Well, sometimes I get blasted, but it's far less frequent

56
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 2: than you folks down here, that's for sure.

57
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 3: So it's oh, well, that's all right.

58
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 2: You know, I think I'm gonna get blasted this afternoon

59
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 2: by the looks of the forecast and the radar and

60
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 2: all that stuff, because I'm east of the city. So

61
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 2: if the city's getting it, I'm getting it. And the

62
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 2: city's supposed to get it this afternoon. I guess that

63
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 2: the afternoon commute is supposed to be, is it? Oodle?

64
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 3: Is it fun?

65
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 2: So make sure you got your weather app ready to

66
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 2: roll before you leave work and go.

67
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 3: Home town, depending on where you're not. For nothing, I

68
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 3: do it, and I feel like I feel like such

69
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 3: an old guy when I checking the weather, Like, oh,

70
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 3: I check the weather, but you got to shovel in

71
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 3: the car, got gloves, you got to you got stuff

72
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 3: you put in the car just in case, you know,

73
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 3: And that's not just today. I threw in a toasttrap

74
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 3: in case somebody, you know, I gotta pull somebody. I'm

75
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 3: a I'm a helper, but I do that. You gotta.

76
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 3: I have a vehicle that is it's a little probably

77
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 3: bad for me because I feel like I'm a little invincible.

78
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 3: It's big, it sits up high, it's got all like

79
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 3: the all Winter drive, it's got like five different four

80
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 3: wheel drive settings. It's got I got to get people

81
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 3: who take care of me in that. Yeah, So I'm right,

82
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 3: and it's man, I'm the last night we were out

83
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 3: and about I was like, yes, I was loving I

84
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 3: was actually loving it.

85
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 2: So it was like a Tim the tool Man Taylor.

86
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 3: But yeah, it's not for everybody, though. I had to

87
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 3: stop and help a person last night, check on a

88
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 3: person last night who was slid off into it off.

89
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 3: Could you couldn't see the edges of the road, you know, Yeah,

90
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 3: And it was bad. It was really bad. So if

91
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 3: you're out there today, I know the kids are out

92
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 3: of school for most places down in the region, so

93
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 3: I hope I hope they're all watching.

94
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 2: And if you do have to drive in it when

95
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 2: it's bad, to take your time. There's no reason to

96
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 2: be in a hurry. The most important thing is to

97
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 2: get from point A to point B safely. And we're

98
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 2: not nobody's timing you with a stop one any reading,

99
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 2: you know, So just be careful out there if you're

100
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 2: traveling around Western New York. Today, bills kind of practice

101
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 2: updates are presented by Lee Coom. They're not practicing yet,

102
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 2: but there were some injury updates. So Lake Erie College

103
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 2: of Osteopathic Medicine will help us take care of that

104
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 2: with you. And it begins here. First the good news,

105
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 2: and that concerns Taylor rap because as we know, he

106
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 2: got carted off with a hip injury last Sunday. But

107
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 2: head coach Sean McDermott actually said Taylor reps day to

108
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 2: day with his hip injury, which I think is a

109
00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 2: far better prognosis than any of us.

110
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, it looked like it was gonna be week to

111
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 3: week kind of thing. I mean, he looked like he

112
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 3: was in some serious pain when they when he came

113
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:09,839
Speaker 3: out of the Blue tent.

114
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was like a series or two after his interception.

115
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, and uh just yeah, you think, ah no, not

116
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 3: not again. We're gonna go to you know, We're gonna

117
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 3: go to Kansas City and have three guys healthy, you know. So,

118
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 3: but it looks like he's day to day. That's that's big.

119
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is good news, that is for sure. Cornerback

120
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 2: Christian Benford, however, is in the concussion protocol. It happened

121
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 2: during the on side's kick with a helmet to helmet collision,

122
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 2: So we'll see how he fares through the course of

123
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 2: the week. Every case is different, as we know with

124
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 2: people in concussion protocol. We saw Ray Davis make his

125
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 2: way through the five step returning to play protocol and

126
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 2: play last week. We're obviously hoping for the same for

127
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,720
Speaker 2: Christian Benford, who has an all two important piece.

128
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 3: That's a big loss if Benford can't go.

129
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 2: Also, Matt Mulano's status could be up in the air.

130
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 2: He missed the final defensive series of the game. Coach

131
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 2: mcderma was asked about it yesterday and really didn't have

132
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 2: any information on the veteran linebacker when he was addressed

133
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 2: on it by the media late Monday afternoon. So we'll

134
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 2: have to see what comes of that, And we probably

135
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 2: won't get any information until tomorrow when coach addresses the

136
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 2: media again. But it's something to keep an eye on

137
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 2: here going forward and we'll see, we'll see what it means. Yeah,

138
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 2: because he's been playing good football for this team the

139
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 2: last couple of games.

140
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, he has gotten back to his all pro form

141
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 3: in the last couple of games. So it's uh wow,

142
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 3: they've played along, they've played a lot without him, so

143
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 3: it's not catastrophic, but man, oh man, you want to

144
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 3: be your best, you know, Yeah, especially against the Kansas

145
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 3: City Chiefs.

146
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 2: The referee assignments and we'll probably file this under around

147
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 2: the NFL presented by Colida Health, so we'll do that here.

148
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 2: The referee assignments have been handed out for the AFC

149
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 2: and NFC Championship games. The AFC game will be handled

150
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 2: by Cleate Blakeman. Now we have to check to see

151
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 2: how many of his own assistants will be on the

152
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 2: crew Sunday. But Blakeman's crews are known to throw a

153
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 2: ton of flags. In fact, this season, Blakeman's crew through

154
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 2: the second most flags and tied for the league lead

155
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 2: in penalties assessed.

156
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 3: I don't know whether. And I get this because there's

157
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 3: this narrative going around about the Chiefs getting help from

158
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 3: the officials and they're all in it together, and I

159
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 3: get it. But I don't know that the Bills are

160
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 3: throwing a lot of flags. I don't know if that's

161
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 3: a bad thing or a good thing for Buffalo, because

162
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:45,679
Speaker 3: we've got a quarterback that kind of embellishes once in

163
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 3: a while too. Last week, the Bills were some beneficiaries

164
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 3: of a bad call to hold on Deon Dawkins, but

165
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 3: also they got the benefit of not getting a penalty

166
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 3: on Ed Oliver riding Lamar out of bounds. They got

167
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:03,439
Speaker 3: a benefit of tradavious White guarding Keon Coleman pass interference

168
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 3: that could have been a no call.

169
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 2: Jeffer's crew is known for you not throwing a lot

170
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 2: of fags, and if you look at the end of

171
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:10,959
Speaker 2: that game, they did not.

172
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 3: They didn't.

173
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 2: This is a game where we're looking at upwards of

174
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 2: twenty penalties. Amazing, and I'll say this thing too, it's

175
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 2: easily going to happen. It's been my my take. And

176
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 2: I don't mind them throwing a lot of flags if

177
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,199
Speaker 2: they're good calls or even ticky tack call, because you

178
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 2: got to have rules. We'll call it one way or

179
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 2: the other if you're going to be but here's my

180
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 2: crew that throws flags, do it the whole game.

181
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 3: I'm not. I'm not in this camp, and I know

182
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 3: I may be on an island here, and particularly Bill's Mavia,

183
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 3: They're they're trying to go down the middle. They're trying

184
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 3: to if it's a call here, they want to make

185
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 3: a call there. You know, if they're calling against one team,

186
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 3: they're going to try and call against the other team.

187
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 3: They're going to call it the same way. Some some

188
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 3: teams are good at using it to their advantage, some aren't.

189
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 3: I think you got to get a feel for how

190
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,040
Speaker 3: they're calling it and trust and I and I I

191
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,959
Speaker 3: do that. If they're gonna call it one way, they're

192
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,199
Speaker 3: gonna call it the other way as well, So you

193
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 3: got to play like that. I don't buy into this

194
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 3: they only call it against the Chiefs and not against

195
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 3: the Bills, or again they only call it against the

196
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 3: Chiefs and not against the Texans. I don't buy into

197
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 3: that because I've heard the conversations with these guys now

198
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 3: also too, and you mentioned this in your notes. These

199
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 3: are conglomerations of officiating cruise. What the NFL does for

200
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 3: the regular season, they say, here, you're on Clite Blakeman's

201
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 3: crew for the year. You're on Sean Hockeley's crew for

202
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 3: the year. In the playoffs, they elevate the guy like

203
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 3: they get the best field judge, the guy that grated

204
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 3: out the best, and they put him with Claite Blakeman.

205
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:44,319
Speaker 3: Then they get the best side judge and they put

206
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 3: him on with Clite Blakeman. And then they get the

207
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 3: best umpired they put him on with Cleite Blakeman.

208
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 2: So now last week, Carl Cheffer has had four of

209
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 2: his own assistants on his regular season crew. On his

210
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 2: playoff crew, he only had two other officials from different crews.

211
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 2: And we'll have to say, see how the assignments line

212
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 2: up for Blakeman's crew, to see how many of his

213
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 2: own assistants he has. But there will be a mix,

214
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 2: there will be a blend. On the NFC side. The

215
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 2: NFC game is being officiated by Sean Hockuly, which could

216
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 2: be equally as ugly in terms of flags. His crew

217
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 2: this season through the fourth most flags and had the

218
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 2: fifth most penalties assessed, And they just announced the Super

219
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 2: Bowl officiating crew. Ron Torboard is going to be the

220
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 2: head official and the head referee for the Super Bowl

221
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 2: down in New Orleans, So that got announced already. I

222
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 2: think if we got hockey lely this week, it would

223
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 2: have drawn a lot more ire from Bill's fans than

224
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 2: Cleete Blakeman, Yeah, because he is known as an over officiator.

225
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 2: But you take what you get and hopefully you can

226
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 2: make some of your own breaks to not allow an

227
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 2: officials call to magnify the outcome of a game.

228
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,559
Speaker 3: Yeah. Sometimes fans get enamored with the fact that the game,

229
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 3: they think the game is clean if if they don't

230
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 3: throw penalties, and I think, and I think there are

231
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 3: sometimes when that is it's not the way you want

232
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 3: it done. You gotta keep it's Then if you're not

233
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 3: gonna call penalties, it's just whoever cheats the best. You know,

234
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:17,680
Speaker 3: you've got to call it the same both ways. And

235
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 3: if this, if Cleete Blakeman, if he doesn't let the

236
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 3: Kansas City Chiefs offensive tackles leave early, and if they

237
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 3: don't let them line up in the backfield illegally before

238
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 3: the snap, that'll be enough for me.

239
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, Detroit offensive coordinator. Ben Johnson, new head coach of

240
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 2: the Chicago Bears, just arrived at the facility today with

241
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 2: his family. So the Lions OC stays in the division

242
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 2: in the NFC North. The Lions may also lose their

243
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 2: defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn. He has a second interview with

244
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 2: the Jets today and the word or there is they're.

245
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,200
Speaker 3: Not gonna let them leave the building. You know these lines,

246
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 3: you know?

247
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 2: Okay. The Saints are also interested in Aaron Glenn, but

248
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 2: they had to cancel their scheduled interviews for their head

249
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 2: coaching position due to the snow they're getting down in

250
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 2: New Orleans. Giants OC Mike Kafka is supposed to be

251
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 2: interviewed today along with Aaron Glenn and Miami defensive coordinator

252
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 2: Anthony Weaver, which is scheduled for Wednesday. So now interviews

253
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 2: are going to take place later in the week when

254
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 2: the weather moves out of the area. The Jaguars who

255
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 2: lost out on Ben Johnson because they wanted him to

256
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 2: be their head coach and he said, yeah, thank you. Next,

257
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 2: they're bringing several candidates in for second head coach interviews now,

258
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 2: including Bucks OC Liam Cohen, Raiders defensive coordinator Patrick Graham,

259
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 2: so Robert Salah also on their radar, so we'll see

260
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 2: how they narrow the field through the course of the week.

261
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 2: Down in Jacksonville, Cowboys are expected to interview their own

262
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 2: offensive coordinator, Brian Schottenheimer for their vacant head coaching job.

263
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 2: Lions offensive line coach Hank Fraley scheduled to interview in

264
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 2: person today with the Seahawks for their offensive coordinator position.

265
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 2: This will be the second interview for Frehley with the Seahawks,

266
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 2: so he seems to be a favorite for that job.

267
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 2: And with the National title game now over with Ohio

268
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 2: State defeating Notre Dame, the Bengals are going to make

269
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 2: a push, reportedly to highre Notre Dame defensive coordinator Al

270
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 2: Golden for their vacant defensive coordinator post. As you know,

271
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 2: last week they fired lou An Arumo and he has

272
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 2: since latched on with the Colts to be their DC.

273
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 3: So that's kind of.

274
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 2: Where the coaching carousel sits here in around the NFL.

275
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 3: Alcohol was in Cincinnati from in twenty twenty one. Yeah,

276
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 3: he had coached twenty twenty twenty twenty one.

277
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 2: As a linebackers coach, right.

278
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 3: He had coached like he has never been in the NFL.

279
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 2: He had coached under his Zach Taylor before, so there's

280
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 2: familiarity there. So it is it is a move that

281
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 2: would make a lot of sense. A topic of discussion

282
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 2: for you folks today obviously deals with Sunday's AFC title game,

283
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 2: and the question for you to answer is as follows,

284
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 2: how do you expect this game with the Chiefs to

285
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 2: be different from the week eleven matchup? You can give

286
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 2: us a call at eight h three oh five point

287
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 2: fifty one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty

288
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 2: the number to get on board, and we do have

289
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 2: open lines for you there right now. If you don't

290
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 2: have time to give us a call, you can always

291
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 2: hit us up on the tweet sheet at one. Bills

292
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 2: Live first and foremost. There're gonna be a lot of

293
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 2: different players in this game. Isaiah Pacheco did not play

294
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 2: for the Chiefs for that game, and I want to

295
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 2: say that both tight ends played, Travis Kelsey and Noah Gray.

296
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 2: In fact, no A Gray had two touchdowns in that game.

297
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 2: No A great, He had a great game against the

298
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 2: Bills in that matchup. But there are a lot of

299
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 2: things that are different now. Joe Tooney's playing left tackle

300
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 2: for the Chiefs, not left guard, so they've had some

301
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 2: line shuffling of late. So yeah, and Jalen Watson is

302
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 2: back from injury. They're starting corner who returned last week,

303
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 2: so you could argue that the Chiefs are a healthier bunch.

304
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 2: We'll see with Taylor Rapp this week.

305
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 3: So that I think the biggest difference in this matchup

306
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 3: this time, There's absolutely no question about it. There's the

307
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 3: biggest difference is the fact that it's going to be

308
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 3: an Arrowhead and not high Mark. There's there's no getting

309
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 3: around it. You saw what. You can make a case

310
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 3: and people have been doing it that the Ravens were

311
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 3: a much better football team top to bottom roster wise

312
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 3: than the Buffalo Bills. And you can get him on

313
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 3: the you get him on the road in an environment

314
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 3: like high Mark in the conditions they had to play

315
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 3: in and they couldn't pull it off. It's going to

316
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 3: be much the same in Kansas City. Although you know

317
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 3: Kansas City and Buffalo, the matchup's very different with how

318
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 3: those teams are built than it was with Buffalo, Buffalo,

319
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 3: Baltimore and Kansas City. Houston. It's going to be a

320
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 3: much different matchup forth both these teams, and Buffalo has

321
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 3: had a lot more experience coming into Kansas City than

322
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 3: Baltimore's had coming into Buffalo. They've done They've seen that movie,

323
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 3: so that does level it a little bit more. But

324
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 3: that's the biggest difference for me in this in this matchup.

325
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 3: Forget the players, forget all that. Both these teams are

326
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 3: playing at a high level, particularly on the offensive side

327
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:12,640
Speaker 3: of the ball, and they've got a lot a big

328
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 3: engine under the hood, and it's gonna come down to,

329
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 3: you know, I think it's gonna come down to these offenses.

330
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:22,440
Speaker 3: The one who plays, you know, with the fewest mistakes,

331
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:25,640
Speaker 3: it's gonna it's gonna be the one that walks out

332
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 3: of there. And we saw it this week with with

333
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 3: the Baltimore Ravens. You know, they made too many mistakes

334
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 3: to win that game and they lost by two. So

335
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 3: you know, you got to you gotta be prepared to

336
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 3: play mistake free football and play your best. I mean,

337
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:42,880
Speaker 3: you gotta be going for it. I think for me, Brownie,

338
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:45,199
Speaker 3: that's what this different this matchup is all about. It's

339
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 3: about can the Buffalo Bills offense communicate and execute at

340
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 3: a high enough level in that environment.

341
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 2: I think the defense is playing a lot different than

342
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:56,399
Speaker 2: they were back in Week eleven. They're playing a lot

343
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 2: more man coverage than they were earlier in the season.

344
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, they played more man coverage

345
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:03,639
Speaker 2: last week against the Ravens than in any game this season.

346
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:08,199
Speaker 2: And they also blitzed at the highest rate of the season,

347
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 2: it's forty eight percent.

348
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 3: Are they playing man because they want a blitzer? Are

349
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:13,679
Speaker 3: they blitzing so they have to play man? I mean,

350
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 3: that's the thing I think it might have been. Probably

351
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 3: the answer is both.

352
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 4: Yeah.

353
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:20,159
Speaker 3: I think it's a little bit of it's Lamar. I

354
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 3: think they wanted to puss pressure on Lamar.

355
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 2: But how much different it's how much different is it

356
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 2: with Mahomes? And here's the bottom line too, Steve, and

357
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,119
Speaker 2: I think Lamar. Here's the bottom line too that I

358
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 2: think we can both agree on. I think it has

359
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 2: less to do with Lamar and more to do with

360
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:35,400
Speaker 2: Buffalo's own pass rush because their four man pass rush

361
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 2: is not getting home. There's a lot consistently enough. And

362
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 2: I think because of that, Bot Babbage knows he has

363
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 2: to insert blitzman and I think Blitz.

364
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 3: You got to say it worked that twenty five twenty

365
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 3: five points. You would think if they're gonna score twenty

366
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 3: five on you might take that going into that game.

367
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 3: That's a lot like usually it's like twelve.

368
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 2: I'll take twenty five from the Chiefs too.

369
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,159
Speaker 3: At twenty five. Yeah, exactly, I'd take twenty five from

370
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:57,719
Speaker 3: the Chiefs. If you can hold the Chiefs to that,

371
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 3: you should win. You might have a chance. You feel

372
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 3: like with Josh and these guys.

373
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:05,920
Speaker 2: You want to know why because the run games even

374
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 2: better than it was in Week eleven.

375
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 3: That's right.

376
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 2: You can rely on Buffalo's run game to get yards

377
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 2: every single week. You just did it against the number

378
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 2: three run defense and the number one run defense in football.

379
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 2: Now the Chiefs are a top the Chiefs are a

380
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,360
Speaker 2: top ten run defense. Also, they're eighth in the league.

381
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,399
Speaker 3: When they're not top five, they're not top three.

382
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 2: But I think they can get yards on the three

383
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:26,680
Speaker 2: in top one.

384
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that's you know, and I'll say this too,

385
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,159
Speaker 3: Chris Jones isn't sacking Josh Allen when the Bills are

386
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,199
Speaker 3: running the ball, You know what I mean, He's not

387
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 3: He's not doing what he does best. I mean, he's

388
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 3: good run defender, don't get me wrong, but that's not

389
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:47,880
Speaker 3: that's no fun for him bearing up against Cybo and

390
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 3: Connor McGovern running that duo. Con I mean, dude, that

391
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 3: is zero fun. So I like where your head's at

392
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 3: slog Fest. You know, I'm we've gone in there and

393
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 3: tried to slinging around Josh throwing four touchdowns to Gabe

394
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 3: and doing all that stuffy. But yeah, I mean, maybe

395
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 3: twenty five is the number. Again. Let's go to the

396
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:14,400
Speaker 3: phones and see what you think.

397
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 2: You tell us how you expect this game with the

398
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,439
Speaker 2: Chiefs to be different from the week eleven matchup. To

399
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 2: the phones we go and to Joe on Grand Island.

400
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 2: What do you got for us?

401
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:23,160
Speaker 3: Joe?

402
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 5: Yeah?

403
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 6: How you guys doing whole question? Mostly I guess for

404
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 6: Steve being a former player, but I've always been baffled

405
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 6: by this is how I not much expect the game,

406
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:35,959
Speaker 6: but I would like the game to go. You know,

407
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 6: you hear all the time about these assistant coaches start

408
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:39,640
Speaker 6: working on the game plan as soon as their last

409
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,399
Speaker 6: game ends. They spend twenty hours a day looking at

410
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 6: tape and film, and yet no one defensive coordinator apparently

411
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 6: in the NFL has come up with a way to

412
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:53,640
Speaker 6: try to take Travis Kelcey either out of the game

413
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,399
Speaker 6: or just minimize him to the point where he can't

414
00:20:56,440 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 6: be Mahomes safety blanket. On every single play. He's wide open,

415
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 6: like all the time. And I saw her Edwards has

416
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:07,360
Speaker 6: a lot of experience say the exact same thing Sunday night.

417
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 6: So why can't anybody ever cover this guy? Why I

418
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:14,119
Speaker 6: can't pick him up with something to minimize his impact

419
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 6: on the field. He just is wide open whenever he

420
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,399
Speaker 6: wants to be and nobody can cover him. I'm just

421
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 6: curious for you guys have to say about that.

422
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 2: Valid concerned, I'll say that, yeah.

423
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:23,400
Speaker 3: I mean, well, first of all, he's really good. He's

424
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 3: got a great feel for it, and he's probably got

425
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 3: some freedom, some autonomy to do what he needs to

426
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 3: do to get open without having to say I needs

427
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:33,639
Speaker 3: you to run an out route at ten yards and

428
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:37,679
Speaker 3: get open, and I hope it's open. You know, they'll

429
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 3: they'll give him a little bit of some read routes

430
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 3: where he can go, he can hook it up, he

431
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:44,120
Speaker 3: can go deep, or he can you know, break out.

432
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 3: He's got like a triple read if he wants to

433
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 3: do that. So he's got some freedom to get open

434
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 3: wherever he needs to get open, so you call his

435
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 3: own defense. He can just pick the guy he wants

436
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 3: and run off of him, or go to the vacant

437
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:58,360
Speaker 3: area and just stand there. Also, he's got an elite

438
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 3: head coach play caller who can scheme him open a

439
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 3: little bit and make it tough on defenses to find him.

440
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 3: And he say, what do you mean? He's standing right there.

441
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 3: But when you motion him and you put him and

442
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:15,120
Speaker 3: they number receivers one, two and three, one two, three,

443
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 3: four and five if you were doing this, one two, three,

444
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 3: and so they split the field in half. At the quarterback.

445
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 3: The guy closest to the sideline is one, the next

446
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,639
Speaker 3: guy is two, the next guy is three. And you know,

447
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 3: you get three guys on one side. It's the guy

448
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 3: on the outside is one. You got one strong. So

449
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 3: the three guys on the side is of strong side.

450
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:37,159
Speaker 3: So you got number one, you got number two, you

451
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 3: got number three. What happens if they start going like

452
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 3: that moving around? Now the one is now the three,

453
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,159
Speaker 3: And what happens when the guy crosses over and they

454
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 3: do that? So he makes it hard for the defense

455
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 3: to keep track of who's number one, who's number two,

456
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,639
Speaker 3: who's number three on the strong side or the weak side.

457
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 3: So by doing that, head coaches or offensive coordinators can

458
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 3: make it difficult for the defense to communicate who's got who.

459
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,439
Speaker 3: And they watch enough film, they know what a defense

460
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 3: struggles with, and they know what they have seen or

461
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:13,120
Speaker 3: what they have not seen, particularly what they you have

462
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,400
Speaker 3: shown and what they have seen you do, so they'll

463
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 3: run through everything that you've done. When you see Travis

464
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 3: Kelcey motion like this, here's how we're gonna handle it.

465
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 3: When emotions like that, We're gonna handle it like that.

466
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 2: But at the same time, to your earlier point, I

467
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 2: think he has given an uncommon freedom to freelance out there.

468
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,680
Speaker 2: And the reason why he's given that freedom is because

469
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 2: as a veteran player, he can recognize defensive leverage and

470
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 2: coverage and react to it. And what he does, maybe

471
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:44,919
Speaker 2: better than any other tight end in the history of

472
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:49,119
Speaker 2: the league, is he'll take a defender, whether it's man

473
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 2: or zone, and he'll lead them in a certain direction

474
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,200
Speaker 2: because he knows where the soft spot is in the defense.

475
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,360
Speaker 2: He also knows when the other team is going to blitz,

476
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,159
Speaker 2: and he'll run three steps up the field, turn around

477
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 2: and post up, and he's big enough to wall off

478
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 2: a defender and give Patrick an outlet so he can

479
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 2: beat the blitz.

480
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:12,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's just he's really good. He's really, really, really smart.

481
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:19,439
Speaker 3: So is Mahomes, And they think exactly alike. Whatever Mahomes

482
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 3: thinks Kelsey should do, Kelsey is already doing it without

483
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 3: having called it. You know what I'm saying.

484
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 2: They just have to look at each other. Yeah, have

485
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 2: to say anything.

486
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,159
Speaker 3: It's it's one of those things. That's why you know,

487
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 3: chemistry is a thing, a relationship is a thing. Understanding

488
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,439
Speaker 3: each other's body language and what they see and what

489
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 3: the receipt. He what Mahomes sees Kelsey doing, Mahomes says, yeah,

490
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 3: I know exactly where he's gonna go, I think because

491
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 3: he's seen it. And it's that's why you know, in

492
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,439
Speaker 3: the regular season, teams will double him and all of that,

493
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:54,639
Speaker 3: and you know Mahomes will just throw it to somebody else.

494
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 3: But in the playoffs, when you really need it and

495
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 3: you've got a really good defense and you know their

496
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 3: teams are really you know, they're doing some stuff against

497
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 3: you you go to the guys you trust, and that's

498
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 3: just it. I mean, I've had so many conversations with

499
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,879
Speaker 3: quarterbacks over my career and since I left the league.

500
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:18,400
Speaker 3: I remember having quarterback with Jim Kelly, Frank Reig, Stan Gelba,

501
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 3: you know, and then others as well, Alex Van Pelt,

502
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 3: all the quarterbacks that ran through here in Buffalo, and

503
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 3: something that I can't name. They all talk about. Listen,

504
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:35,640
Speaker 3: I ran scout team with this guy and I'm thrown

505
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 3: at him every time because I just know where he's

506
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:41,200
Speaker 3: gonna be. It's no more complicated than that. And when

507
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 3: you get a guy who's an All Pro talent and

508
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 3: a quarterback who's an All Pro talent, and I mean

509
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:50,359
Speaker 3: they're not He's not throwing for anybody else. I know

510
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 3: where he's gonna be. I'm throwing it to him. It's

511
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 3: no more complicated than that. And you get a guy

512
00:25:56,160 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 3: giving the freedom, say Travis, get open between the numbers

513
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 3: and the other and the and the other hash go.

514
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 2: I'll fight and I'll find it.

515
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:07,719
Speaker 3: I'll find you, and he does and he does, and

516
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,440
Speaker 3: that's it's no more complicated than that. They're playing a

517
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 3: little bit of it's a little bit of school yard,

518
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 3: it's a little bit of drawing in the dirt. But

519
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:15,160
Speaker 3: it's more than that. It's more than just saying, hey,

520
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 3: go do it.

521
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,399
Speaker 2: But because it's not regimented is what makes it so

522
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 2: hard to prepare for it, because there is no clear

523
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 2: picture as to what it's going to look like from

524
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:24,120
Speaker 2: one series to the next.

525
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 3: You're going to cover him if he does this, well,

526
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 3: he knows he's going to do something else. Yeah, is

527
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 3: that simple. Let's go to and it's It's hard, man,

528
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 3: It's obviously hard. Let's go to Tom on the west side. Next.

529
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:36,880
Speaker 2: What's up, Tom?

530
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:40,639
Speaker 7: Good? Afternoon, John's A lot of snow was up, but

531
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 7: now it's coming down here. We're starting to get buried.

532
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:48,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, stay stay cleo, stay warm and dry.

533
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 7: I already set the kids out and shovel warm.

534
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:54,120
Speaker 2: There you go, keep him busy.

535
00:26:54,840 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 7: Okay, Uh, anyway, you guys just briefly scratched out. But

536
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:04,359
Speaker 7: one all four teams that are in the playoffs still

537
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 7: have not turned the ball over yet, So the main

538
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 7: thing is gonna be ball control. But after that, both

539
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 7: teams are pretty equal. I mean, we got a bunch

540
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:20,160
Speaker 7: of no names and we got a bunch of Okay,

541
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 7: you know our name, but we got to defend you.

542
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 7: So it's gonna be a battle. I think it's gonna

543
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 7: and Andy Reid is going to open the book with

544
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 7: Patrick Mahomes and they're gonna be doing trick plays. I

545
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 7: don't know if you'll see that when they were going

546
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:37,440
Speaker 7: in a circle.

547
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:42,159
Speaker 2: Before they want the preaping snow globe play, right.

548
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, I don't know that you're going to see that.

549
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:49,119
Speaker 7: One thing I don't know yet is the weather in

550
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:50,680
Speaker 7: Kansas City that day.

551
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:52,160
Speaker 3: It's actually supposed to be pretty nice.

552
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,399
Speaker 2: It might even be in the low forties and no

553
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 2: precipt from what we've seen here early. Obviously that can change,

554
00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 2: but it looks good for now.

555
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,920
Speaker 3: Cloudy and chili but not cold, you know, not bitter

556
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 3: like it was here on game time.

557
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:06,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that'll be good.

558
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:09,879
Speaker 3: Yeah. And I'll say this too. I saw this today.

559
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:11,880
Speaker 3: You're right. None of the teams have turned it over

560
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 3: and for the top team, and I sold this to Brownie.

561
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:19,200
Speaker 3: Four of the top teams, the four top teams that

562
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 3: are left in the playoffs Kansas City, Buffalo, Philadelphia, Washington.

563
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 3: They are four of the top five teams and fourth

564
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 3: down conversions on the year. Yeah, these are the guys

565
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 3: that convert fourth downs more than anybody else in the league.

566
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 3: These four teams, they're for the top five. The other

567
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 3: ones Detroit. There are four of the top five teams

568
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 3: that go forward on fourth town and get it the most.

569
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 3: Are the final four teams of the tournament.

570
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 2: Here's a stat from your good friends on CBS. There

571
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 2: have been two hundred and eighty turnovers in the NFL

572
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 2: since week twelve, Just since week twelve, right league wide,

573
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 2: the Chiefs have committed none of them. Eight straight games

574
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 2: without a turn over. It's the longest streak by any

575
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 2: team in the Super Bowl era, including playoffs. Now they're

576
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 2: going to meet the team that's second in the league and.

577
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 3: Takeaways, I know it's that is.

578
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 2: A team that got some on them the last time.

579
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 2: Bernard finished the game with a takeaway to seal it

580
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 2: on the interception. And there was another turnover in that

581
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 2: game too.

582
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 3: I can't remember if it was.

583
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 2: A fumble or any I think with a tip tip

584
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 2: pass that's what it was.

585
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, And here's the thing, and this is why. And

586
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 3: Bill's fans are like this too, and they know it

587
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 3: as well as I do. And what I'm about to say,

588
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 3: it's the one statistic you really can't count on. It's

589
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 3: so it's the most aside from the score and all,

590
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 3: that is the one thing that happens in football games

591
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 3: that you cannot like plan on. You know, even the

592
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 3: Bills who have turned it over more than anybody else

593
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 3: in the league, who got turnovers more than anybody else

594
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 3: in the league, and so consistently it's it's you you

595
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:55,239
Speaker 3: still can't count on that. You gotta play yep. And

596
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 3: it's and that's why it's like this and I get

597
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 3: it too, and the guys who talk about it, and

598
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 3: there's the there. We just saw the interceptions when Mahomes

599
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 3: was going down, you know, he just he hit that play.

600
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 3: That's the exact play that he just hit for a

601
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 3: touchdown for a touchdown against Houston last week. That's what

602
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 3: he threw that he threw the interception on early in

603
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 3: the game against Buffalo, and we can let there was.

604
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 2: The first play from scrimmage for them, first or second play.

605
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 2: It was on the first.

606
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 3: Series, So yeah, touchdown interception. It's the exact same thing

607
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 3: that happened. So it's yeah, it's easy to protect the football,

608
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 3: but sometimes when you protect the football, you don't score

609
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 3: like you think you should score either because you don't

610
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 3: put the ball in harms way. You gotta risk it.

611
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 3: You gotta throw it.

612
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 2: No risk it, no biscuits.

613
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 3: You gotta sling it to be successful and score a

614
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 3: lot of points. I mean, josh Adam is a perfect example.

615
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 3: He's the MVP, but he's like, no, I threw too

616
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 3: many interceptions. He's scored in fifties, like six touchdowns. I

617
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 3: don't care. Nobody, nobody in Buffalo's complaining about the interceptions

618
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 3: at all. The guy's a factory, so nobody really cared.

619
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 3: But you gotta put it at risk if you're gonna

620
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 3: score that many touchdowns, you really do, you know. So

621
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 3: the Chiefs they got to the point where, okay, we're

622
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 3: gonna yeah, and they're hard to beat if you're not

623
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 3: gonna if they're not gonna put the ball at risk

624
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 3: and they're not gonna turn it over and you're not

625
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 3: gonna get an extra possession against that offense, they're just

626
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 3: too efficient to beat you. For a lot of teams.

627
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 2: Gotta take a break here. We'll get to more of

647
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 2: we're not even doing a show. Here's unbelievable quality control.

648
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:34,480
Speaker 3: I thought I'd try to do it real slow, but.

649
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 2: There's no way to do a silent can opening.

650
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 3: I think you're muted.

651
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 2: My mic there's two other microphones a foot away from you.

652
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 2: Come on, you're better than that.

653
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:43,720

654
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 2: You're a network guy.

655
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:46,600

00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 3: you know, Mad Girl gives us awards, all right.

659
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 2: So an interesting game, to say the least, a nail

660
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:02,160
Speaker 2: bier at the end. So I'm very curious to see

661
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 2: where these awards begin. What are we beginning with here?

662
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 9: We're starting with the tone setter, And the tone setter

663
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 9: was the three takeaways that Buffalo had on defense. It

664
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 9: was the second best offense and the Bill's going up

665
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 9: against the third best offense in the Ravens. So you

666
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 9: knew if you wanted to win this one, you were

667
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 9: gonna have to steal a few possessions and Buffalo defense.

668
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 9: Buffalo's defense did so right in the beginning of the game.

669
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:27,720
Speaker 9: On the second drive that the Ravens had, the Bills

670
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 9: come out and Taylor Rapp intercepts one of Jackson's passes.

671
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 3: And it stalls the drive.

672
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 9: And then on the next drive, Ravens are trying to

673
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 9: make something happen. The game is tied up here and

674
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 9: DeMar Hamlin sacks Jackson, grabs the fumble, strips the ball,

675
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 9: and thankfully von Miller is there to grab the fumble

676
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 9: and return at thirty nine yards. And then in the

677
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 9: fourth quarter, on another huge drive that Baltimore had going,

678
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 9: here comes Torell Bernard to force the ball out and

679
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 9: pick it up. It was awesome to see the attitude

680
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 9: that Buffalo's defense played with from the start. It was

681
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:08,879
Speaker 9: a mindset. We heard the defense of coaches and Sean

682
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 9: McDermott talking about it all week, the mindset they have

683
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 9: to get into to play against the offense like the

684
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:17,840
Speaker 9: Baltimore Ravens had, and they did it from the beginning.

685
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 9: Buffalo is all about these splash plays on defense, and

686
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 9: they did not falter against the Ravens.

687
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 2: Steve, You've seen a lot of force fumbles in your

688
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:29,800
Speaker 2: day that might have been in an open field situation.

689
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 2: I mean, that might have been the best force funble

690
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 2: I've ever seen.

691
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:36,280
Speaker 3: It was, yeah, because he was reached, he was fully extended.

692
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:39,839
Speaker 3: And I've had balls popped out like that too when

693
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:42,399
Speaker 3: I was returning kicks where you try and side you

694
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:44,719
Speaker 3: pull your arm out to pull your help yourself cut

695
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:46,960
Speaker 3: away from the defender. And when you do that, the

696
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:49,840
Speaker 3: balls in the right the arm away from the defender,

697
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:53,839
Speaker 3: which it was for Bernard Mark Andrews, you throw your

698
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:56,239
Speaker 3: arm out. It was great. Pull yourself away from the

699
00:34:56,280 --> 00:35:00,440
Speaker 3: defender and it leaves the ball free. It's exposed and

700
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 3: Bernard reached all the way out. It was Yeah, it

701
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:07,799
Speaker 3: was brilliant play. And it's the unpredictable nature of these turnovers.

702
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,360
Speaker 3: But you're right, Maddie, those three turnovers were the difference

703
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 3: in this game. Baltimore's offense was is too good not

704
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:17,720
Speaker 3: to steal some possessions. Stole three of them.

705
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:20,560
Speaker 9: And Bobby Babbitch talked about it yesterday when he met

706
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 9: with the media. He talked about the drills that the

707
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 9: defense does during practices to rip the ball out, to

708
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 9: punch the ball out, to grab interceptions. And it's so

709
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:33,479
Speaker 9: cool when something like that can just be a drill

710
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:36,399
Speaker 9: where you feel like you're going through the motions. It's

711
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 9: week twenty. We're just here, we're punching the ball out.

712
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 9: We're doing something we do every single day of practice,

713
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 9: and for them it has so much meaning because you

714
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 9: do it in practice, and it showed up on Sunday.

715
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:52,960
Speaker 9: All Right, the El Capitan Award El Capitan, It's going

716
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:55,880
Speaker 9: to Josh Allen. The vibes go through Josh Allen and

717
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 9: the vibes last week where we are tired of hearing

718
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:02,720
Speaker 9: what people have to say about this game. We're tired

719
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 9: of hearing people picking Baltimore. And what you got was

720
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:09,880
Speaker 9: a Josh Allen that was calm and collected in the pocket.

721
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:14,360
Speaker 9: His team followed him, no turnovers, two rushing touchdowns, a

722
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 9: seventy two percent completion percentage. They didn't have to put

723
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:19,759
Speaker 9: the game on Josh Allen, but he made some big

724
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 9: time plays to keep drives alive.

725
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:22,279
Speaker 4: He had that.

726
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:25,800
Speaker 9: Third and eight completion to Kalosha Kir for thirty four yards,

727
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 9: and then also that fourth and two conversion on the ground.

728
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:32,759
Speaker 9: He had that rushing touchdown that happened on a third down.

729
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:35,960
Speaker 9: Alan made enough plays to get his team the victory

730
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:37,040
Speaker 9: and that's all that mattered.

731
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:40,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I also heard he addressed the team at

732
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:46,760
Speaker 2: halftime and who had some interesting comments there just about

733
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:49,400
Speaker 2: nobody believes us. Yeah, nobody believes in us, and it

734
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:50,359
Speaker 2: kind of went that way.

735
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 3: So yeah, he's right, I mean there, he's right. This

736
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 3: Baltimore Ravens team was built for I'll say this, they

737
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:01,000
Speaker 3: were built for that kind of weather, even though it

738
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:05,000
Speaker 3: bit them. They were built to throw the football. They

739
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:06,799
Speaker 3: got a guy at quarterback who was playing at an

740
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:10,440
Speaker 3: elite level all year. They put up huge numbers. They

741
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:13,080
Speaker 3: got a generational running back, they got a they're.

742
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 2: Big rushing offense, and the number seven passing there.

743
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:20,799
Speaker 3: They're they're an all time offense, the only offense in

744
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:23,400
Speaker 3: history with a two thousand yard or a three thousand

745
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:25,640
Speaker 3: yard passer and a one thousand yard rusher or something

746
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:25,759
Speaker 3: like that.

747
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:29,720
Speaker 2: Tho, they had a two thousand yard rusher and.

748
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 3: A one thousand yard rusher. That's it.

749
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 2: I mean, they're an all time county playoffs.

750
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:35,920
Speaker 3: So everybody was saying, yeah, the Bills are you know,

751
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:38,439
Speaker 3: it's a nice season, but it was a rebuilding year.

752
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:40,840
Speaker 3: Buffalo didn't have any real star players, and you know,

753
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 3: Josh Allen was doing it with you know, he's making

754
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:45,719
Speaker 3: chicken salad out of chicken poop. You know, it is

755
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:47,640
Speaker 3: one of those kind of years. Good year, guys, way

756
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 3: to go, You're done, and they just didn't have it.

757
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 3: I mean, they weren't taken. Yeah, I get it. Man,

758
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:56,319
Speaker 3: they tried to climb back in. That is a good job,

759
00:37:56,360 --> 00:38:01,480
Speaker 3: but that is the one Disrespect is the one gasoline

760
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:06,640
Speaker 3: that will layer any team, any team, and whether whether

761
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 3: it's a soccer team, a girls' soccer team, an eight

762
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:14,840
Speaker 3: year old or a Super Bowl aspiring NFL team, or

763
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:19,560
Speaker 3: an NBA team or a junior high softball team, Man,

764
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:23,319
Speaker 3: it works. Disrespect is the gasoline that ignites the five.

765
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, we'll move on to the Mastermind.

766
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:30,240
Speaker 9: The Mastermind Award. It is going to builds defensive coordinator

767
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 9: Bobby Babbage. The Ravens are such a hard offense to

768
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:36,640
Speaker 9: scheme for. You have a running back in Derrick Henry

769
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:41,560
Speaker 9: who's two hundred and fifty pounds. He bulldozes opposing defenses,

770
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:43,399
Speaker 9: and then you have to account for a really good

771
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:46,919
Speaker 9: quarterback in Lamar Jackson. This is a type of game

772
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 9: plan that keeps you up at night trying to figure

773
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 9: out how do we stop these two guys. And you

774
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 9: have to get yourself into this mindset, kind of like

775
00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:59,600
Speaker 9: a crazy mindset, to be like, you know what, I've

776
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:01,359
Speaker 9: got the and we're gonna do it.

777
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:02,279
Speaker 3: They did so.

778
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:06,319
Speaker 9: They came out with attitude and aggressiveness. Two takeaways in

779
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 9: the first half. They limit Derrick Henry to just twenty

780
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:12,279
Speaker 9: one rushing yards on the ground. The defensive line had

781
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:15,080
Speaker 9: to play a big role in this game, and they

782
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:18,960
Speaker 9: came out acting tough and playing big. Ed Oliver had

783
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:22,440
Speaker 9: some great snaps in this game. You gotta play bully

784
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 9: ball against this type of offense, and Bobby Babbite was

785
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:27,239
Speaker 9: the leader in doing that.

786
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:29,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, you and I were talking about it earlier. They

787
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 2: blitzed forty eight percent craze.

788
00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 3: They were coming after.

789
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:36,760
Speaker 8: Him and Lamar Jackson is good against the Blitz. It's

790
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:39,480
Speaker 8: a pick your poison isn't gonna work. And I was

791
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 8: looking up stats for Okay, how many touchdowns has Josh

792
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 8: had against the Blitz And we were talking about if

793
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:47,160
Speaker 8: the Chiefs are going to try and do that against

794
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:51,240
Speaker 8: Josh Allen this week, and above Josh Allen is Lamar

795
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:54,919
Speaker 8: Jackson and passing touchdowns against the Blitz. So it's tough

796
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 8: when you decide, hey, we're gonna we think this works

797
00:39:57,760 --> 00:39:58,839
Speaker 8: and it actually did.

798
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:02,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's it says something about you know, Derrick

799
00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:06,160
Speaker 3: Henry had finished sixteen carries for eighty four yards. If

800
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 3: he had a long at seventeen so that'd be fifteen

801
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 3: for sixty seven. Then you're kind of getting back down

802
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:13,160
Speaker 3: into it. He's averaging five point three a carry. Hill

803
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:15,000
Speaker 3: was averaging eight point three a carry on the day.

804
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:16,480
Speaker 3: But they all had they both had a couple of

805
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:16,959
Speaker 3: long ones.

806
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:20,680
Speaker 2: But the Ravens are zher to five this season when

807
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 2: Henry has fewer than twenty carries and fewer than eighty

808
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:25,960
Speaker 2: five rushing yards. And at the end of this game.

809
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:29,280
Speaker 3: What does he have sixteen carries for eighty four rushing

810
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:32,000
Speaker 3: there's loss number six. Yeah, that's their six.

811
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:34,600
Speaker 2: Now, all of those games were one score losses, like

812
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:36,920
Speaker 2: seven points, five points, three points, and so they has

813
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:38,560
Speaker 2: two points. But it is a formula.

814
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:41,279
Speaker 3: Listen the Bills. I'll say it again. The Bills set

815
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:44,759
Speaker 3: an NFL record for forty three games before they lost

816
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:47,400
Speaker 3: by double digits or by more than one position possession.

817
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:48,919
Speaker 3: It's good. Teams are hard to beat.

818
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:52,880
Speaker 2: All right, we move on to the Young Hustler Awards.

819
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:56,320
Speaker 9: Young Hustler, it's going to our rookie running back Ray Davis.

820
00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:59,719
Speaker 9: Davis is playing in his first Divisional playoff game and

821
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:04,040
Speaker 9: he stood out. He had some important rushes in this game.

822
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:07,800
Speaker 9: He had a touchdown of his own his first career

823
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:11,799
Speaker 9: playoff touchdown. He showed that the moment wasn't too big

824
00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:14,200
Speaker 9: for him and going up against a defense like the

825
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:17,920
Speaker 9: Chiefs have, you're gonna need everybody on offense, and it

826
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:20,480
Speaker 9: was great to see him perform in a big time

827
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 9: playoff game.

828
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:24,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, especially coming out of concussion protocol. Yes, Like we

829
00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 2: were worndering right up until the inactive is whether he

830
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:28,440
Speaker 2: was going to play or not because we didn't know

831
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:30,399
Speaker 2: if he had cleared protocol yet.

832
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:32,960
Speaker 3: It was a huge, huge question mark coming in and

833
00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:35,319
Speaker 3: what he answered the question emphatically, good for him.

834
00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:39,399
Speaker 9: All Right, the on point award on point, it's going

835
00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:42,360
Speaker 9: to our wide receiver, Khalil Shakir. This has been a

836
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:46,239
Speaker 9: receiver that Josh Allen has trusted all season due to

837
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:49,279
Speaker 9: the chemistry that they have together. And in a big

838
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 9: playoff game, Alan relies on Shakir once again. He was

839
00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:57,360
Speaker 9: the leading receiver and did a great job six catches,

840
00:41:57,520 --> 00:42:01,520
Speaker 9: sixty seven receiving yards. And I love that Allen went

841
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:04,759
Speaker 9: to Khalil Shakir on that third and eight play where

842
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:07,440
Speaker 9: he had to convert it to keep the drive alive,

843
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:10,400
Speaker 9: and they go to Shakir on a longer route that

844
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:12,800
Speaker 9: he's not used to running all the time. Shakiir is

845
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:15,359
Speaker 9: known for being a guy who's your underneath guy, who's

846
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:17,839
Speaker 9: your slot receiver, who's grabbing short yards here and there

847
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:20,759
Speaker 9: and then gets those yak yards is what he's known for.

848
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:23,120
Speaker 9: But I love that Alan went to him in that

849
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:23,920
Speaker 9: type of moment.

850
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:28,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he's the leading receiver by far in this

851
00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:30,840
Speaker 2: game for the Bills, like one of the few guys

852
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:34,840
Speaker 2: that Josh went to consistently. To your point, all right.

853
00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:38,799
Speaker 9: Never a doubt, never a doubt, it's going to our

854
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:42,400
Speaker 9: head coach Sean McDermott. There was never a doubt with

855
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:45,239
Speaker 9: him at the helm. In this type of playoff game,

856
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:48,120
Speaker 9: you need to make sure your team is ready to

857
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:51,319
Speaker 9: go in a playoff game, and he did that. I mean,

858
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:53,279
Speaker 9: this is a coach who's been in the playoffs for

859
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 9: several seasons in a row now and he knows what

860
00:42:56,760 --> 00:43:01,359
Speaker 9: is needed out of his team mindset wise, and did

861
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:04,400
Speaker 9: that all week, made sure that hey, we're going to

862
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:05,879
Speaker 9: touch base here and we're going to make sure our

863
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:08,680
Speaker 9: team is ready to go. They finished the season ten

864
00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:12,080
Speaker 9: to zero at home, which is an incredible stat and

865
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:15,239
Speaker 9: McDermott has just been a great leader all season. We

866
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:17,600
Speaker 9: talk about Josh Allen a lot, we talk about Joe

867
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:20,440
Speaker 9: Brady and Bobby Babbage a lot, but this would not

868
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:23,799
Speaker 9: be possible without Sean McDermott. He's done such a great

869
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:26,279
Speaker 9: job of coaching these guys to get the most out

870
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:28,000
Speaker 9: of them, to get the best out of them on

871
00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:31,200
Speaker 9: offense and defense. And I think he's done a really

872
00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:35,759
Speaker 9: good job of helping Joe Brady and Bobby Babbage in

873
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:39,080
Speaker 9: their first year in Buffalo as an offensive coinerer and

874
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:40,400
Speaker 9: a defensive coordinator.

875
00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:44,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's yeah. They were great. I mean the end

876
00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:46,480
Speaker 3: of the first half, time management and the way they

877
00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:51,600
Speaker 3: handed was perfect, absolute perfection. And that tough decision to

878
00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:53,840
Speaker 3: go for the field goal or the fourth and three

879
00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:58,120
Speaker 3: or two plus to put it up nine, it worked out.

880
00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:00,160
Speaker 3: It was right because at the end of it, even

881
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:02,040
Speaker 3: if they would have scored and got the two point,

882
00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:05,560
Speaker 3: they end up with the ball and a minute thirty

883
00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:07,080
Speaker 3: one to two timeouts and all they need is a

884
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:09,919
Speaker 3: field goal to win it. It was beautifully hid, all right, Matta.

885
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:11,759
Speaker 2: We got thirty seconds quickly, the locked in.

886
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:14,719
Speaker 9: Award, quickly locked in. It's going to Tyler Bass. He

887
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:18,160
Speaker 9: batted a thousand and a huge playoff game against the

888
00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:21,160
Speaker 9: Ravens two field goals, made all of his extra point attempts.

889
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:25,160
Speaker 9: He is four of four now on field goals of

890
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:28,759
Speaker 9: at least fifty yards in his postseason career. That's big time.

891
00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:31,480
Speaker 9: Last year in the divisional round, Bass did not make

892
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:34,000
Speaker 9: that forty four yard field goal attempt. This time around,

893
00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:36,640
Speaker 9: he does. The team could lean on him, and they're

894
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:37,880
Speaker 9: going to have to continue to do so.

895
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:39,640
Speaker 2: Going forward fifty one yard or in the snow is

896
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:41,640
Speaker 2: no easy task. He made it look easy, all right, Maddie,

897
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:44,160
Speaker 2: Thanks very much. Those are the Maddie Awards, presented by

898
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:45,799
Speaker 2: Energy Mark. We got to take a break back to

910
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:38,680
Speaker 2: game with the Chiefs to be different from their Week

911
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:42,239
Speaker 2: eleven matchup to Alex down in Charlotte. What do you

912
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:43,080
Speaker 2: got for us? Alex?

913
00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:48,400
Speaker 5: Hey, guys, thanks for having me on. Got a couple things. One, Chris,

914
00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:51,759
Speaker 5: You've you've mentioned how this Bills team is probably the

915
00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:55,320
Speaker 5: best team you've mentioned in all season. I've been saying

916
00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:59,000
Speaker 5: they remind me a lot of the Denver Nuggets championship

917
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:01,400
Speaker 5: team from a few years ago, where you have a superstar,

918
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:04,080
Speaker 5: you have a lot of role players and they played

919
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:06,280
Speaker 5: well within the system and they played well within the team.

920
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:10,440
Speaker 5: That's a big difference I see him this year's Buffalo Bills.

921
00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:14,040
Speaker 5: As far as the difference in the game, the topic

922
00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:16,320
Speaker 5: of the day to me, I think it's going to

923
00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:18,279
Speaker 5: come down to Chris Jones and how we handle them.

924
00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:21,800
Speaker 5: I remember in that first matchup they lined Chris Jones

925
00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:25,839
Speaker 5: across from O Sirens, torrents a lot and Cibo held

926
00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:28,680
Speaker 5: his own. I expect the Chiefs to make some adjustments

927
00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:31,960
Speaker 5: with him. Move Chris Jones around, put them on different matchups.

928
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:35,000
Speaker 5: I could see him lined up against Edwards or even

929
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:38,560
Speaker 5: right over the center. So I'll be interested to see

930
00:46:38,560 --> 00:46:41,000
Speaker 5: how we handle him. We know he can wreck the games,

931
00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:42,719
Speaker 5: but I think as long as we keep Josh klean,

932
00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:44,399
Speaker 5: that's it's going to help us in the long run.

933
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:46,160
Speaker 5: I'll hang up. Thanks for your time.

934
00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:48,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, they used them. The Chiefs used them last week

935
00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:52,440
Speaker 2: against the Texans right tackle because they saw the right

936
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:55,080
Speaker 2: tackle for the Texans as their weak link up front,

937
00:46:55,560 --> 00:46:57,319
Speaker 2: and that's often what they will do. They will put

938
00:46:57,320 --> 00:47:00,640
Speaker 2: their superstar on your weakest link in the chick. The

939
00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:02,799
Speaker 2: good news for the Bills is they're pretty solid all

940
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:05,520
Speaker 2: the way across. That's the good news I think. I mean,

941
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:06,640
Speaker 2: I don't know if you feel differently.

942
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:11,480
Speaker 3: No, They're they're big guard to guard, really big, and

943
00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:14,400
Speaker 3: it's it's hard to you know, because even if you

944
00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:18,040
Speaker 3: don't go through most times, they don't get bull rushed.

945
00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:20,919
Speaker 3: And a guy like Chris Jones that threat, he's got

946
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:24,319
Speaker 3: the threat of that, but he's also very slippery. When

947
00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:26,800
Speaker 3: you take that threat away just because of your size

948
00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:29,160
Speaker 3: and force him to go to some alternate moves, it

949
00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:31,920
Speaker 3: kind of it makes it harder on him.

950
00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:34,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're saying because Cybo is such a good anchor.

951
00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:36,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, Cybo's got an anchor. He's like trying to push

952
00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:39,279
Speaker 3: a tree stump. You know they got You can't move him.

953
00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:42,080
Speaker 3: And David Edwards is the same thing. He's just as big,

954
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:47,560
Speaker 3: So we'll see how that goes. Chris Jones is by

955
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:50,120
Speaker 3: trade a tackle, so he's down on the guards and

956
00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:53,160
Speaker 3: center most of the time and inside the offensive tackles

957
00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:54,719
Speaker 3: towards the ball.

958
00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:56,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, last week they had him on the edge, and

959
00:47:56,480 --> 00:47:58,040
Speaker 2: he's been on the edges through the course of the

960
00:47:58,040 --> 00:47:58,520
Speaker 2: season too.

961
00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:01,120
Speaker 3: Right, they do depending on mats like you do with

962
00:48:01,160 --> 00:48:04,400
Speaker 3: superstar pass rushers, and move them around and make the

963
00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:07,240
Speaker 3: offense try to find him and then adjust their protection,

964
00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:10,200
Speaker 3: which may free up somebody like Carl Loftis is no sloud.

965
00:48:10,239 --> 00:48:11,879
Speaker 2: That's why you had three sacks in the game last

966
00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:13,839
Speaker 2: Glad everybody's worried about Jones.

967
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:15,719
Speaker 3: Right, they got to slide everybody to the end where

968
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:18,040
Speaker 3: Jones is and then you know Carloft is over there

969
00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:18,520
Speaker 3: making hay.

970
00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:22,879
Speaker 2: Let's go to Marty in cheek Towaga. What's up, Marty?

971
00:48:23,360 --> 00:48:23,920
Speaker 10: Excuse me?

972
00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:24,360
Speaker 7: Uh?

973
00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:28,240
Speaker 10: I think this Sunday I noticed after the game against

974
00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:31,920
Speaker 10: the Ravens, the Bills only had one penalty, which I

975
00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:34,919
Speaker 10: thought was awesome. And I think going into Kansas City

976
00:48:34,960 --> 00:48:38,239
Speaker 10: with that loud crowd noise, I know communication is going

977
00:48:38,320 --> 00:48:40,879
Speaker 10: to be tough. But if we can't keep the penalties down.

978
00:48:41,040 --> 00:48:46,520
Speaker 10: I hate taunting penalties, unnecessary roughness or unsportsm like conduct,

979
00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:50,279
Speaker 10: the crowd has no effect on them. Those are to me,

980
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:52,680
Speaker 10: those are kind of like a little selfish in nature.

981
00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:56,200
Speaker 10: So if they can keep the legal procedure penalties down

982
00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:59,440
Speaker 10: and stuff like that to maybe three, I think we

983
00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:00,359
Speaker 10: got a great chance.

984
00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:03,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, But to your point, Marty, it's easier said than

985
00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:05,840
Speaker 2: done on the road, because even when you're going silent

986
00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:08,480
Speaker 2: count it's still difficult sometimes.

987
00:49:08,560 --> 00:49:11,120
Speaker 3: And I would say on average.

988
00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:13,560
Speaker 2: Teams commit more penalties when they're on the road than

989
00:49:13,600 --> 00:49:16,160
Speaker 2: at home for that very reason. Pre snap penalties become

990
00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:19,520
Speaker 2: a little bit more prevalent, just because of the atmosphere

991
00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:21,520
Speaker 2: and the conditions under which you try to operate.

992
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:23,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, and find it tough, that's you know, you're right.

993
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:26,040
Speaker 3: It was crucial in the game the other day that

994
00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:28,800
Speaker 3: you know, the Bills were working on a pretty thin margin.

995
00:49:29,560 --> 00:49:32,880
Speaker 3: They they could not make mistakes and beat that team.

996
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:36,000
Speaker 3: And they didn't one penalty, and it was a bad

997
00:49:36,040 --> 00:49:41,360
Speaker 3: call at that. They did get one, a defensive holding

998
00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:43,759
Speaker 3: penalty called on them that was declined because they had

999
00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:45,920
Speaker 3: completed the pass for a better yardage and better gain

1000
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:47,800
Speaker 3: in a first down, so they didn't need the penalty.

1001
00:49:48,040 --> 00:49:49,759
Speaker 3: Other than that, I can't remember I a penalty even

1002
00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:53,640
Speaker 3: being a factor. But I'll say this too. You don't

1003
00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:56,400
Speaker 3: want you said like three illegal percent. You shouldn't have

1004
00:49:56,480 --> 00:50:02,799
Speaker 3: any illegal procedure penalties noisy or not pre snap. You

1005
00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:06,120
Speaker 3: don't want to snap nothing. So those are unforced errors,

1006
00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:07,600
Speaker 3: so to stay And you're right.

1007
00:50:07,719 --> 00:50:10,240
Speaker 2: Sometimes the defensive line WI will bate an offensive lineman

1008
00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:11,399
Speaker 2: to move right.

1009
00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:15,760
Speaker 3: And you're right. The personal fouls, the taunting, unnecessary roughness stuff,

1010
00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:18,799
Speaker 3: that's all a little bit selfish in nature, and you

1011
00:50:18,800 --> 00:50:20,960
Speaker 3: know there's no really no tolerance for that either. So

1012
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:26,040
Speaker 3: you're right. I'll say it again, whoever, whichever offense plays

1013
00:50:26,040 --> 00:50:28,400
Speaker 3: the most mistake free is gonna win this game.

1014
00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:31,439
Speaker 2: Got to step aside for a break here, but when

1015
00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:33,879
Speaker 2: we come back, our number two is gonna be good.

1016
00:50:34,080 --> 00:50:37,920
Speaker 2: Begin with our weekly Visitor. On Tuesday's ESPN, NFL analyst

1017
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:41,880
Speaker 2: Dan Orlovsky going to talk to him about final thoughts

1018
00:50:41,880 --> 00:50:45,680
Speaker 2: on Bill's Ravens and get ready for Bill's Chiefs and

1019
00:50:45,719 --> 00:50:47,839
Speaker 2: his thoughts on that as well. Here on One Bill's Live,

1020
00:50:47,880 --> 00:52:15,680
Speaker 2: presented by Collidea Health, It's Buffalo Bill's Radio.

1024
00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:46,880
Speaker 2: as we are every Tuesday by ESPN NFL analyst Dan Orlofski,

1025

Speaker 2: an official mobile sports betting partner of the Buffalo Bills.

1027
00:51:55,760 --> 00:52:00,880
Speaker 3: All right, Dan, it happened by the Slim Margins.

1028
00:52:01,520 --> 00:52:04,600
Speaker 2: The Bills have advanced the AFC title game after eking

1029
00:52:04,640 --> 00:52:08,440
Speaker 2: out a win over the Ravens. And you touched on

1030
00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:10,719
Speaker 2: it when we talked to you last week. Bill's defense

1031
00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:13,480
Speaker 2: playing more man coverage here late in the season. That

1032
00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:18,520
Speaker 2: continued on Sunday night, and they blitzed at a rate

1033
00:52:18,640 --> 00:52:23,200
Speaker 2: of right around forty eight percent. Could you address the

1034
00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:27,040
Speaker 2: game called by Babbage against Lamar and this offense.

1035
00:52:28,800 --> 00:52:31,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was really impressive to make sure that at

1036
00:52:31,640 --> 00:52:34,600
Speaker 4: least you did everything you could from a defensive perspective

1037
00:52:34,680 --> 00:52:38,719
Speaker 4: to think one of two things. One, you tried to

1038
00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:41,600
Speaker 4: not expose yourself too much to what could be some

1039
00:52:41,760 --> 00:52:44,120
Speaker 4: schematic weakness. We saw a first snap of the game,

1040
00:52:44,640 --> 00:52:47,759
Speaker 4: base personnel, three linebackers were on the failed Taran was off,

1041
00:52:47,800 --> 00:52:50,080
Speaker 4: and they put Williams at the line of scrimmage to

1042
00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:51,879
Speaker 4: just try to get bodies there. And I do think

1043
00:52:51,920 --> 00:52:53,600
Speaker 4: that helped them a little bit early on in the

1044
00:52:53,680 --> 00:52:56,080
Speaker 4: run and then you know, try to take advantage of

1045
00:52:56,120 --> 00:52:58,080
Speaker 4: some of the things that might be their weaknesses with

1046
00:52:58,200 --> 00:53:00,719
Speaker 4: Zay Flowers out in Baltimore's offense, trying to play a

1047
00:53:00,719 --> 00:53:03,560
Speaker 4: little bit more man coverage, not having to have so

1048
00:53:03,640 --> 00:53:07,719
Speaker 4: many different people with eyes on in that zone structure

1049
00:53:07,760 --> 00:53:10,040
Speaker 4: and having to pay attention to too many things. So

1050
00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:12,200
Speaker 4: I thought it was really smart in that regard. I

1051
00:53:12,200 --> 00:53:13,680
Speaker 4: thought some of the stuff that they did in the

1052
00:53:13,719 --> 00:53:15,719
Speaker 4: red zone, you know, sneakily, really good.

1053
00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:15,920
Speaker 3: You know.

1054
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:19,080
Speaker 4: I go back to the after the big post to

1055
00:53:19,200 --> 00:53:23,919
Speaker 4: Bateman and them putting specifically on that third down, which

1056
00:53:23,960 --> 00:53:27,240
Speaker 4: is a little bit more of a pass obvious situation.

1057
00:53:27,320 --> 00:53:28,960
Speaker 4: I think it's third and goal from the three or

1058
00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:32,160
Speaker 4: four yard line. They only got three defensive linemen on

1059
00:53:32,200 --> 00:53:35,600
Speaker 4: the field and they got two backers and six dbs

1060
00:53:35,640 --> 00:53:38,680
Speaker 4: in that situation. That's a little normal that close to

1061
00:53:38,719 --> 00:53:41,200
Speaker 4: the goal line. And that's one of the huge plays

1062
00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:44,560
Speaker 4: in the game. Milano spies Lamar and you know, he

1063
00:53:44,640 --> 00:53:46,600
Speaker 4: enforces a little bit of a checkdown because they got

1064
00:53:46,600 --> 00:53:49,239
Speaker 4: so many people in coverage and then the bang bang

1065
00:53:49,280 --> 00:53:51,520
Speaker 4: played for Derrick Henry or on Derek Herrady to force

1066
00:53:51,560 --> 00:53:53,640
Speaker 4: that field goal is huge. And so I thought some

1067
00:53:53,680 --> 00:53:56,720
Speaker 4: of the scheme stuff that they did just personnel wise

1068
00:53:57,320 --> 00:54:00,400
Speaker 4: was super important to them to protect but also attack.

1069
00:54:01,040 --> 00:54:02,759
Speaker 3: And in this game, you knew it was gonna come down.

1070
00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:05,000
Speaker 3: I thought you were going to have to score thirty

1071
00:54:05,440 --> 00:54:08,200
Speaker 3: to win this game, even with the weather the way

1072
00:54:08,200 --> 00:54:13,560
Speaker 3: it was cold. But I thought whoever's going to play

1073
00:54:13,680 --> 00:54:15,360
Speaker 3: was going to have play more mistake free than the

1074
00:54:15,400 --> 00:54:17,799
Speaker 3: other guy, and certainly the Bills did that. They had

1075
00:54:17,800 --> 00:54:21,239
Speaker 3: one penalty for ten yards, one other penalty that was

1076
00:54:21,280 --> 00:54:24,520
Speaker 3: called that was declined. Baltimore had five for forty three

1077
00:54:24,600 --> 00:54:28,839
Speaker 3: and then of course the three turnovers were absolutely monumental

1078
00:54:28,880 --> 00:54:32,960
Speaker 3: in this yeah, and that's you know, the Bills offensive

1079
00:54:33,040 --> 00:54:37,000
Speaker 3: numbers were pedestrian or you know, they were mid Baltimore.

1080
00:54:37,080 --> 00:54:38,880
Speaker 3: You've got to be looking at themselves going, how do

1081
00:54:38,960 --> 00:54:40,919
Speaker 3: we do this to ourselves at the end of this game?

1082
00:54:42,560 --> 00:54:45,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, Steve, I think that what's been probably the most

1083
00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:49,600
Speaker 4: impressive thing, and it was probably the most obvious of

1084
00:54:49,719 --> 00:54:52,640
Speaker 4: last week, is how this has really become like an

1085
00:54:52,760 --> 00:54:59,759
Speaker 4: organizational change philosophically, the evolution and the growth of what

1086
00:54:59,800 --> 00:55:02,719
Speaker 4: the they used to be and kind of where they

1087
00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:04,600
Speaker 4: are in the middle of right now. It's not just

1088
00:55:04,719 --> 00:55:07,400
Speaker 4: Josh Allen. You know, if you just watch the team

1089
00:55:07,480 --> 00:55:10,719
Speaker 4: play this year and watch how the quarterback has played

1090
00:55:10,760 --> 00:55:12,719
Speaker 4: this year, and watch how the defense has played this year,

1091
00:55:12,719 --> 00:55:16,600
Speaker 4: it is this overall organizational philosophy of we've done it

1092
00:55:16,640 --> 00:55:19,720
Speaker 4: one way, you know, like and it was really awesome,

1093
00:55:19,800 --> 00:55:21,520
Speaker 4: you know, where they could throw it with anybody, and

1094
00:55:21,560 --> 00:55:24,359
Speaker 4: it's big play after big play after big play, and

1095
00:55:24,480 --> 00:55:26,920
Speaker 4: you know, then was it the best? You know, it

1096
00:55:26,960 --> 00:55:28,440
Speaker 4: was really good, but was it the best? Was it

1097
00:55:28,480 --> 00:55:30,120
Speaker 4: going to be the best way to maybe go try

1098
00:55:30,160 --> 00:55:32,440
Speaker 4: and win a Super Bowl? And you know, the evolution

1099
00:55:32,600 --> 00:55:35,840
Speaker 4: and growth of this offense is efficiency and owning the

1100
00:55:35,840 --> 00:55:39,280
Speaker 4: line of scrimmage and being able to control the football

1101
00:55:39,320 --> 00:55:43,000
Speaker 4: game and being able to play in a way that, however,

1102
00:55:43,160 --> 00:55:45,759
Speaker 4: defense tells you you have to play, you're capable of

1103
00:55:45,800 --> 00:55:48,440
Speaker 4: doing it. And the quarterback playing in this very mature

1104
00:55:48,600 --> 00:55:52,880
Speaker 4: and efficient and how you I mean they ran twenty

1105
00:55:52,920 --> 00:55:56,560
Speaker 4: six snaps the other night on offense, seventeen runs for

1106
00:55:56,640 --> 00:55:58,440
Speaker 4: four and a half yards a clip, and the quarterback

1107
00:55:58,480 --> 00:56:04,120
Speaker 4: was eight of nine screams efficiency. So the defense taking

1108
00:56:04,120 --> 00:56:08,000
Speaker 4: the football away, and it's the premise of we're really good,

1109
00:56:08,640 --> 00:56:12,520
Speaker 4: we're even better, and we're really hard to be beat

1110
00:56:12,680 --> 00:56:16,080
Speaker 4: by somebody if we don't beat ourselves. And I think

1111
00:56:16,120 --> 00:56:20,480
Speaker 4: that you're just seeing this overall kind of organizational shift,

1112
00:56:20,520 --> 00:56:22,840
Speaker 4: growth and development. It's got them back in the AFC title.

1113
00:56:23,200 --> 00:56:26,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, So tell me your thoughts on this,

1114
00:56:26,800 --> 00:56:30,080
Speaker 2: because in the last two weeks, this Bill's run game

1115
00:56:30,120 --> 00:56:32,440
Speaker 2: has hung three hundred and fifty seven yards on the

1116
00:56:32,520 --> 00:56:35,280
Speaker 2: number three run defense and the number one run defense

1117
00:56:35,320 --> 00:56:38,240
Speaker 2: in football, and now they're facing a Chiefs run defense.

1118
00:56:38,239 --> 00:56:40,440
Speaker 2: It's also top ten, they're number eight. But it seems

1119
00:56:40,480 --> 00:56:43,560
Speaker 2: like the Bill's run game with this offensive line is

1120
00:56:43,640 --> 00:56:46,880
Speaker 2: at a place where they can get yards whenever the

1121
00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:49,680
Speaker 2: hell they want, and no one has been able to

1122
00:56:49,680 --> 00:56:52,320
Speaker 2: tell them different. Are you expecting much of the same

1123
00:56:52,360 --> 00:56:52,880
Speaker 2: this week.

1124
00:56:54,200 --> 00:56:57,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think there's one really specific way that you

1125
00:56:57,480 --> 00:57:00,319
Speaker 4: can have success running the football against the Chiefs is well,

1126
00:57:01,480 --> 00:57:04,920
Speaker 4: you know, but I think that the thing that Buffalo

1127
00:57:04,960 --> 00:57:06,640
Speaker 4: has done such a good job of and they did

1128
00:57:06,680 --> 00:57:10,200
Speaker 4: another good job of it last week, is they very

1129
00:57:10,360 --> 00:57:14,400
Speaker 4: rarely don't get the runs started. More often than not,

1130
00:57:14,600 --> 00:57:18,400
Speaker 4: the run play gets started. And you know we've talked

1131
00:57:18,440 --> 00:57:21,320
Speaker 4: about it, really good blocking wide receivers, the sixth offensive

1132
00:57:21,320 --> 00:57:24,480
Speaker 4: linemen on there, so consistently you know the vision by

1133
00:57:24,600 --> 00:57:28,160
Speaker 4: Cook and Davis, and so you're you're calling these runs

1134
00:57:28,600 --> 00:57:31,720
Speaker 4: and I hate to keep going back to this word,

1135
00:57:31,720 --> 00:57:35,760
Speaker 4: but you're consistently efficient in doing so. And then some

1136
00:57:35,840 --> 00:57:37,600
Speaker 4: of these two or three four yard runs are going

1137
00:57:37,640 --> 00:57:40,960
Speaker 4: for like eight, nine eleven yards, and so I think

1138
00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:43,200
Speaker 4: their ability to control the line of scrimmage has been

1139
00:57:43,240 --> 00:57:46,720
Speaker 4: paramount I think it will be again. I think they're capable.

1140
00:57:46,280 --> 00:57:46,680
Speaker 2: Of doing it.

1141
00:57:46,680 --> 00:57:48,760
Speaker 4: You know, Kansas City's defense is not what it was

1142
00:57:48,840 --> 00:57:51,280
Speaker 4: last year in a couple of different ways. And one

1143
00:57:51,280 --> 00:57:54,160
Speaker 4: of the ways is if you motion and run the

1144
00:57:54,200 --> 00:57:56,840
Speaker 4: football at them, they get displaced a little bit at

1145
00:57:56,840 --> 00:57:59,960
Speaker 4: the second level. And so I would expect run game wise,

1146
00:58:00,160 --> 00:58:03,040
Speaker 4: that would be something to pay attention to. I'd always

1147
00:58:03,120 --> 00:58:04,640
Speaker 4: I would also say this, and we're going to do

1148
00:58:04,680 --> 00:58:07,760
Speaker 4: this on NFL Live this week, But when you watch

1149
00:58:07,840 --> 00:58:10,760
Speaker 4: Kansas City defensively and you see a six or seven

1150
00:58:10,840 --> 00:58:13,440
Speaker 4: yard run, one of the things I just mentioned was

1151
00:58:13,480 --> 00:58:16,040
Speaker 4: some of that motion stuff. And then one of the

1152
00:58:16,040 --> 00:58:18,200
Speaker 4: things that you see more than you did in the

1153
00:58:18,240 --> 00:58:22,680
Speaker 4: past is well, where's number ninety five. He's not on

1154
00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:25,720
Speaker 4: the field, And I think that is something that is

1155
00:58:25,800 --> 00:58:28,280
Speaker 4: showing a little bit more. I don't know why, but

1156
00:58:28,400 --> 00:58:30,800
Speaker 4: when he's not on the field, Chris Jones, who's an

1157
00:58:30,800 --> 00:58:35,520
Speaker 4: al timer, I think that teams are automatically checking into

1158
00:58:35,600 --> 00:58:38,680
Speaker 4: running the football because when he's not on the field,

1159
00:58:39,360 --> 00:58:44,240
Speaker 4: you are much more capable of creating some pretty darn

1160
00:58:44,320 --> 00:58:46,640
Speaker 4: good runs. Not two three, four runs, but seven eight,

1161
00:58:46,720 --> 00:58:47,360
Speaker 4: nine yarders.

1162
00:58:47,480 --> 00:58:50,280
Speaker 2: Yeah. And so we know that the Bills were far

1163
00:58:50,280 --> 00:58:52,400
Speaker 2: more effective running the football in the first half against

1164
00:58:52,400 --> 00:58:54,040
Speaker 2: the Ravens than they were in the second half when

1165
00:58:54,040 --> 00:58:55,919
Speaker 2: Baltimore made some defensive adjustments.

1166
00:58:56,360 --> 00:58:57,520
Speaker 3: Can Kansas City go to.

1167
00:58:57,480 --> 00:58:59,920
Speaker 2: School on any of that in terms of what Baltimore

1168
00:59:00,040 --> 00:59:01,520
Speaker 2: put out there in the second half to kind of

1169
00:59:01,560 --> 00:59:03,240
Speaker 2: neutralize that run game a little bit?

1170
00:59:06,680 --> 00:59:10,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think so. I mean, they're so different philosophically,

1171
00:59:10,640 --> 00:59:14,400
Speaker 4: they're so different structurally. You know, you guys know this,

1172
00:59:14,480 --> 00:59:16,200
Speaker 4: when you play against that team, you've got to be

1173
00:59:16,240 --> 00:59:18,200
Speaker 4: ready for a run blitz and a pass blitz on

1174
00:59:18,240 --> 00:59:20,800
Speaker 4: every play because they can come at any moment. That's

1175
00:59:20,800 --> 00:59:25,760
Speaker 4: not necessarily who Baltimore is and or was. I thought,

1176
00:59:25,800 --> 00:59:28,520
Speaker 4: you know, they were much better at handling the interior

1177
00:59:28,560 --> 00:59:31,360
Speaker 4: of the offensive line, Baltimore being in the second half.

1178
00:59:31,400 --> 00:59:34,320
Speaker 4: So I don't think that there's a I mean, you

1179
00:59:34,400 --> 00:59:36,560
Speaker 4: got to win your blocks. I don't think that there's

1180
00:59:36,600 --> 00:59:40,040
Speaker 4: a ton schematically that I would say Kansas City would

1181
00:59:40,120 --> 00:59:43,080
Speaker 4: steal from Baltimore. And I would go back to the

1182
00:59:43,160 --> 00:59:46,320
Speaker 4: last time these two teams played. It really wasn't the

1183
00:59:46,400 --> 00:59:48,440
Speaker 4: run game. It really was the past game. It really

1184
00:59:48,520 --> 00:59:51,320
Speaker 4: was them being so ready for some of those zero

1185
00:59:51,360 --> 00:59:54,200
Speaker 4: blitzes from Kansas City. And I think the question has

1186
00:59:54,240 --> 00:59:57,200
Speaker 4: to get posed to Kansas City of are they going

1187
00:59:57,240 --> 00:59:59,760
Speaker 4: to attack the way that they did last time?

1188
01:00:00,200 --> 01:00:02,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that's the real question, and what can

1189
01:00:02,080 --> 01:00:05,240
Speaker 3: the Bills do against the pressure. The Chiefs really showed

1190
01:00:05,320 --> 01:00:07,640
Speaker 3: up big in their pass rush with Carl Loftis and

1191
01:00:07,720 --> 01:00:10,080
Speaker 3: Chris Jones. Carl Loftis showed up huge, I mean three

1192
01:00:10,120 --> 01:00:13,320
Speaker 3: sacks and they got a ton of pressure. What what?

1193
01:00:13,680 --> 01:00:17,760
Speaker 3: And we noticed too they moved Chris Jones around yep,

1194
01:00:18,840 --> 01:00:20,760
Speaker 3: more so than usual. What do you make of that?

1195
01:00:22,040 --> 01:00:23,920
Speaker 4: Well, one, I would tell you Houston's offensive line is

1196
01:00:23,920 --> 01:00:26,880
Speaker 4: not even in the same galaxy as Buffalo's. So that's

1197
01:00:26,920 --> 01:00:30,040
Speaker 4: part of, you know, why the performance was last week.

1198
01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:35,000
Speaker 4: You know, the the one benefit that Buffalo had last

1199
01:00:35,040 --> 01:00:37,040
Speaker 4: time was they were at home and there was so

1200
01:00:37,240 --> 01:00:42,480
Speaker 4: much shifting in motioning. So they have to one figure

1201
01:00:42,480 --> 01:00:47,160
Speaker 4: out if they can operate in that capacity on the road, arrowhead, clock, noise,

1202
01:00:47,240 --> 01:00:50,960
Speaker 4: all that, and then a the plan for if they can't,

1203
01:00:51,120 --> 01:00:53,480
Speaker 4: And if they can't, what is going to be the answer?

1204
01:00:53,520 --> 01:00:55,080
Speaker 4: Is it going to be a little bit of tempo,

1205
01:00:55,160 --> 01:00:56,400
Speaker 4: Is it going to be a little bit of no

1206
01:00:56,480 --> 01:00:59,960
Speaker 4: huddle obviously being really good on early downs and minimize

1207
01:01:00,160 --> 01:01:03,200
Speaker 4: is the amount that Kansas City could get after that

1208
01:01:03,400 --> 01:01:06,400
Speaker 4: or into that stuff. But if you can, if you

1209
01:01:06,440 --> 01:01:08,840
Speaker 4: can continue to control the line of scrimmage, you can

1210
01:01:08,880 --> 01:01:11,440
Speaker 4: minimize some of the Star Wars pressures you'll see.

1211
01:01:12,480 --> 01:01:15,880
Speaker 2: And then with respect to the Chiefs running game, Pacheck

1212
01:01:15,920 --> 01:01:17,600
Speaker 2: go back in the fold. He did not play in

1213
01:01:17,640 --> 01:01:20,040
Speaker 2: the week eleven game. As we know, he did not

1214
01:01:20,320 --> 01:01:24,320
Speaker 2: look like he's back to his old self just yet,

1215
01:01:24,360 --> 01:01:26,240
Speaker 2: and maybe part of that is because of the long

1216
01:01:26,320 --> 01:01:29,080
Speaker 2: layoff from Christmas Day, which was really the last time

1217
01:01:29,080 --> 01:01:31,920
Speaker 2: a lot of those chief starters had last played. Are

1218
01:01:31,960 --> 01:01:35,200
Speaker 2: you expecting better from him this week? Just from a

1219
01:01:35,320 --> 01:01:39,160
Speaker 2: Russ standpoint, because it didn't look like the Isaiah, the

1220
01:01:39,240 --> 01:01:41,760
Speaker 2: explosive Isaiah Pichecko that we're used to seeing.

1221
01:01:42,920 --> 01:01:45,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would. I would expect him another. But I

1222
01:01:45,840 --> 01:01:49,560
Speaker 4: think the the two things. You know, these run games

1223
01:01:49,600 --> 01:01:52,920
Speaker 4: are kind of similar, you know, philosophy wise, Kansas City's

1224
01:01:52,960 --> 01:01:55,480
Speaker 4: not going to run four or five different runs at you.

1225
01:01:55,480 --> 01:01:57,960
Speaker 4: You're gonna get two different runs, you know, if you're

1226
01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:00,680
Speaker 4: if you are the Bills, more often than not, you're

1227
01:02:00,680 --> 01:02:02,720
Speaker 4: gonna get very similar like four by one. We've talked

1228
01:02:02,720 --> 01:02:04,480
Speaker 4: about that, a little bit of the zone read, you'll

1229
01:02:04,480 --> 01:02:07,040
Speaker 4: get that. And so double team's got to be really good,

1230
01:02:07,080 --> 01:02:08,840
Speaker 4: and you got to shut it down on the backside,

1231
01:02:08,840 --> 01:02:11,480
Speaker 4: and then you'll get their split flow, which is everybody'

1232
01:02:11,560 --> 01:02:13,640
Speaker 4: zoning one side and somebody coming back across from the

1233
01:02:13,720 --> 01:02:15,760
Speaker 4: other out a twelve person one back two tight end.

1234
01:02:16,040 --> 01:02:18,240
Speaker 4: So I think those are the two things that they've

1235
01:02:18,240 --> 01:02:21,000
Speaker 4: got to really hone in on defensively against Kansas City.

1236
01:02:21,320 --> 01:02:23,520
Speaker 4: But I do think that some of the you know,

1237
01:02:23,600 --> 01:02:26,840
Speaker 4: the the hunt is as big as a deal for

1238
01:02:26,920 --> 01:02:30,160
Speaker 4: me Chris as a Pacheco like, he just continues to

1239
01:02:30,360 --> 01:02:34,400
Speaker 4: churn out positive yards against defenses and while you're not

1240
01:02:34,480 --> 01:02:38,560
Speaker 4: maybe getting the huge chunks. This is the most efficient

1241
01:02:38,840 --> 01:02:41,920
Speaker 4: ball control ten plus play drive offense in the league.

1242
01:02:42,040 --> 01:02:45,240
Speaker 4: So you know, getting him to not making a you know,

1243
01:02:45,920 --> 01:02:47,920
Speaker 4: a two yard run into a four yard run, I

1244
01:02:47,920 --> 01:02:50,800
Speaker 4: think is just as big as minimizing some of the explosives.

1245
01:02:51,080 --> 01:02:52,320
Speaker 3: What do you think is going to be the big

1246
01:02:52,320 --> 01:02:54,400
Speaker 3: difference for this Chiefs offense? Now they've got you know,

1247
01:02:54,480 --> 01:02:59,000
Speaker 3: Travis Kelce is obviously stepped up in this playoff in

1248
01:02:59,040 --> 01:03:02,680
Speaker 3: this last playoff game. He had an okay regular season,

1249
01:03:02,720 --> 01:03:06,160
Speaker 3: But when the Chips are down, the Chiefs are, you know,

1250
01:03:06,440 --> 01:03:09,160
Speaker 3: it's Pat Mahomes, it's Travis Kelce and it's Andy Reid,

1251
01:03:09,200 --> 01:03:11,080
Speaker 3: and it's hard to get him off the field, particularly

1252
01:03:11,080 --> 01:03:14,200
Speaker 3: when they've got a guy like Pacheco there and the

1253
01:03:14,240 --> 01:03:17,360
Speaker 3: other tight end as well. So I'm in this game.

1254
01:03:18,720 --> 01:03:22,920
Speaker 3: In this game, I think the third down offense of

1255
01:03:23,000 --> 01:03:26,080
Speaker 3: the Chiefs is really going to be critical because of

1256
01:03:26,240 --> 01:03:30,080
Speaker 3: the Bills want probably to obviously get him off the field,

1257
01:03:30,120 --> 01:03:32,680
Speaker 3: but also do the same thing to the Chiefs. Stay

1258
01:03:32,720 --> 01:03:35,520
Speaker 3: on the field, shorten the game, be efficient, score every

1259
01:03:35,600 --> 01:03:39,560
Speaker 3: drive if you can, and then you know, just out

1260
01:03:39,600 --> 01:03:41,400
Speaker 3: distance the Chiefs like they did in Buffalo.

1261
01:03:43,000 --> 01:03:45,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean this this game screams, first of all,

1262
01:03:45,960 --> 01:03:48,760
Speaker 4: it's heavyweight after heavyweight, And how awesome is this that

1263
01:03:48,840 --> 01:03:51,680
Speaker 4: we as football fans get this. You know, it's a

1264
01:03:51,720 --> 01:03:54,200
Speaker 4: guy that has gone toe to toe against Patrick twice

1265
01:03:54,200 --> 01:03:56,400
Speaker 4: in the playoffs, and Patrick's knocked him out or kept

1266
01:03:56,480 --> 01:03:58,720
Speaker 4: him out, and he's having an all time great, historical

1267
01:03:58,760 --> 01:04:00,760
Speaker 4: best season of his career, and he's trying to go

1268
01:04:00,760 --> 01:04:02,959
Speaker 4: on the road to be the guy that doesn't lose

1269
01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:06,040
Speaker 4: there and he's done, you know, the precipice of history

1270
01:04:06,560 --> 01:04:09,160
Speaker 4: in and of itself. And so how awesome is that

1271
01:04:09,200 --> 01:04:12,960
Speaker 4: as football fans? This game screams of who gets the

1272
01:04:13,000 --> 01:04:15,520
Speaker 4: ball last, or who has the ball with you know,

1273
01:04:15,560 --> 01:04:17,840
Speaker 4: a huge play late in the game, or who doesn't

1274
01:04:17,840 --> 01:04:20,760
Speaker 4: make that critical mistake late in the game. Both quarterbacks

1275
01:04:20,760 --> 01:04:22,800
Speaker 4: have done a really good job of that. Josh all season,

1276
01:04:22,880 --> 01:04:26,280
Speaker 4: Patrick very much so of late. You know, I'd say

1277
01:04:26,400 --> 01:04:31,160
Speaker 4: it's the it's it's the what was the issue five, six,

1278
01:04:31,280 --> 01:04:34,960
Speaker 4: seven years ago just feels like the issue again in

1279
01:04:35,040 --> 01:04:41,360
Speaker 4: those huge moments. How do you one stop Kelsey while

1280
01:04:41,440 --> 01:04:44,960
Speaker 4: also not exposing other parts of your defense because everyone

1281
01:04:44,960 --> 01:04:47,480
Speaker 4: that sits there and says, well double them. You only

1282
01:04:47,520 --> 01:04:51,320
Speaker 4: get eleven. So that sounds great, but you only get

1283
01:04:51,320 --> 01:04:54,800
Speaker 4: eleven and there are other people that they're going to

1284
01:04:54,920 --> 01:04:57,800
Speaker 4: Tyreek Hill no, but they can still hurt you after

1285
01:04:58,000 --> 01:05:00,400
Speaker 4: five or six throws. You know, it's it's maybe not

1286
01:05:00,480 --> 01:05:03,640
Speaker 4: the seventy yarder, but it's four or five straight completions

1287
01:05:03,680 --> 01:05:06,440
Speaker 4: that get sixty yards and then also the legs of

1288
01:05:06,480 --> 01:05:09,720
Speaker 4: the quarterback. And so you got to try to throw

1289
01:05:09,880 --> 01:05:12,800
Speaker 4: off the timing of those two guys while also letting

1290
01:05:13,040 --> 01:05:16,280
Speaker 4: an edge player like an Epinessa or a Rousseau or

1291
01:05:16,280 --> 01:05:19,520
Speaker 4: even a Vaughan like wear out some of those tackles.

1292
01:05:19,520 --> 01:05:22,320
Speaker 4: And if you can do that, it goes a huge,

1293
01:05:22,600 --> 01:05:24,560
Speaker 4: huge way to help in your defense.

1294
01:05:24,600 --> 01:05:24,800
Speaker 3: Play.

1295
01:05:24,840 --> 01:05:27,320
Speaker 2: Well, that's a good segue into my last one for you, Dan.

1296
01:05:27,640 --> 01:05:30,200
Speaker 2: They've moved Joe Tooney from left guard to left tackle

1297
01:05:30,240 --> 01:05:32,240
Speaker 2: to try to shore up some pass protection issues. On

1298
01:05:32,280 --> 01:05:37,080
Speaker 2: the edge, where, if at all, has that compromised their

1299
01:05:37,120 --> 01:05:39,800
Speaker 2: offensive line play. Are they just as sound as they've

1300
01:05:39,840 --> 01:05:41,000
Speaker 2: always been in the run game?

1301
01:05:41,120 --> 01:05:41,920
Speaker 3: Has it been.

1302
01:05:41,800 --> 01:05:44,720
Speaker 2: Compromised because guard to guard they're not the same anymore.

1303
01:05:45,040 --> 01:05:47,040
Speaker 2: Maybe just kind of shed some light on what you've

1304
01:05:47,080 --> 01:05:49,160
Speaker 2: seen since that switch has been made.

1305
01:05:50,280 --> 01:05:52,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, One, they don't get up to the backers as

1306
01:05:52,480 --> 01:05:54,760
Speaker 4: consistently in the run game as they did, nor did

1307
01:05:55,280 --> 01:05:58,520
Speaker 4: do they displace the defensive tackles as much. I mean it,

1308
01:05:58,840 --> 01:06:01,200
Speaker 4: Kansas City really had to figure out which way they

1309
01:06:01,240 --> 01:06:03,360
Speaker 4: were going to prioritize trying to run the football or

1310
01:06:03,360 --> 01:06:07,440
Speaker 4: trying to protect Patrick. They obviously protected prioritize protecting Patrick,

1311
01:06:07,520 --> 01:06:10,800
Speaker 4: probably rightfully so, but you know, they're they're not running.

1312
01:06:10,960 --> 01:06:13,439
Speaker 4: You know, this is one of the best interior three

1313
01:06:13,880 --> 01:06:16,160
Speaker 4: no offensive lines in the NFL with the guards Tray

1314
01:06:16,160 --> 01:06:18,240
Speaker 4: Smith and Toney as long as well as Creed Humphrey

1315
01:06:18,240 --> 01:06:20,440
Speaker 4: at center. So it's not as dominant. It's still a

1316
01:06:20,480 --> 01:06:23,040
Speaker 4: good unit, but not as dominant. Also in the past

1317
01:06:23,040 --> 01:06:26,440
Speaker 4: protection game, you know, they they're the twist games on

1318
01:06:26,480 --> 01:06:28,920
Speaker 4: the inside have become a little bit more of an issue.

1319
01:06:29,000 --> 01:06:31,400
Speaker 4: Rather than having to chip and help that tackle on

1320
01:06:31,440 --> 01:06:34,800
Speaker 4: the outside, So you know, you're talking about an interior

1321
01:06:34,840 --> 01:06:37,800
Speaker 4: pastor situation that probably has to wreak a little bit

1322
01:06:37,840 --> 01:06:39,440
Speaker 4: more havoc than it has for Buffalo.

1323
01:06:40,520 --> 01:06:42,480
Speaker 3: Good stuff, Dan, Appreciate you man.

1324
01:06:42,760 --> 01:06:43,760
Speaker 2: We'll talk to you about it next.

1325
01:06:43,800 --> 01:06:44,000
Speaker 7: Thanks.

1326
01:06:44,080 --> 01:06:46,160
Speaker 3: Yes, and enjoy you too.

1327
01:06:46,200 --> 01:06:46,480
Speaker 6: All right.

1328
01:06:46,480 --> 01:06:51,040
Speaker 2: That's Dan Orlowski joining us as he does every Tuesday appearances.

1329
01:06:51,080 --> 01:06:53,320
Speaker 3: Brought to you by Caesar's Sportsbook.

1330
01:06:53,360 --> 01:06:57,479
Speaker 2: And yeah, that that offensive line for Kansas City.

1331
01:06:57,520 --> 01:06:59,480
Speaker 3: They've had to do some shuffling through the course of

1332
01:06:59,480 --> 01:06:59,760
Speaker 3: the year.

1333
01:06:59,760 --> 01:07:02,440
Speaker 2: They've had to roll in different tackles on the edges

1334
01:07:02,480 --> 01:07:05,439
Speaker 2: to try to find a better combination. Ultimately, here near

1335
01:07:05,440 --> 01:07:08,240
Speaker 2: the end of the season, they determined we don't have it.

1336
01:07:08,240 --> 01:07:11,160
Speaker 2: It's not good enough, and so they take an all

1337
01:07:11,200 --> 01:07:13,439
Speaker 2: pro guard in Joe Tooney and put him at left

1338
01:07:13,440 --> 01:07:15,720
Speaker 2: tackle now and they have one of their backup guards

1339
01:07:15,760 --> 01:07:18,520
Speaker 2: lining up in there inside. I believe it's Caliendo.

1340
01:07:18,840 --> 01:07:21,080
Speaker 3: This is not new to Kansas City. They've had these

1341
01:07:21,080 --> 01:07:23,800
Speaker 3: offensive line issues going into playoffs late in the playoffs

1342
01:07:23,960 --> 01:07:27,440
Speaker 3: year after year. Yeah, but my point is Holmes has

1343
01:07:27,440 --> 01:07:28,040
Speaker 3: overcome them.

1344
01:07:28,080 --> 01:07:32,600
Speaker 2: Guard to guard. They've been all world Tooney, Oh yeah,

1345
01:07:32,680 --> 01:07:36,000
Speaker 2: I mean Tooney, Humphrey Smith. Those three guys are one

1346
01:07:36,040 --> 01:07:39,080
Speaker 2: of the constants of these last two Super Bowl runs,

1347
01:07:39,480 --> 01:07:42,960
Speaker 2: and now you've disrupted that by putting Tony out on

1348
01:07:42,960 --> 01:07:46,320
Speaker 2: the edge to try to shore up edge protection. And

1349
01:07:46,400 --> 01:07:48,680
Speaker 2: there's a trickle down effect that Dan just pointed out.

1350
01:07:48,680 --> 01:07:50,440
Speaker 2: That's why I asked him that question. He watches a

1351
01:07:50,440 --> 01:07:52,400
Speaker 2: lot more film than we do of the whole league.

1352
01:07:52,480 --> 01:07:54,560
Speaker 2: You know, we're watching Bill's stuff all the time, not

1353
01:07:54,720 --> 01:07:56,560
Speaker 2: Chiefs every week. So that's why I asked him that

1354
01:07:56,640 --> 01:07:59,440
Speaker 2: because I wanted to know, like, Okay, they feel like

1355
01:07:59,480 --> 01:08:01,280
Speaker 2: they've plugged the hole in the dike here on the

1356
01:08:01,360 --> 01:08:04,080
Speaker 2: edge at left tackle, but what other cracks are showing

1357
01:08:04,160 --> 01:08:06,280
Speaker 2: up now? And they can't get to the second level

1358
01:08:06,320 --> 01:08:09,120
Speaker 2: consistently in the run game, and they're getting victimized by

1359
01:08:09,120 --> 01:08:11,560
Speaker 2: stunts and twists because the guy playing left card has

1360
01:08:11,600 --> 01:08:13,160
Speaker 2: only been in there for two games.

1361
01:08:12,960 --> 01:08:15,600
Speaker 3: Right, I think the problem Think about those two games

1362
01:08:15,600 --> 01:08:18,800
Speaker 3: he's been in for. He had Week eighteen against a

1363
01:08:18,840 --> 01:08:23,240
Speaker 3: Denver team that he Mahomes wasn't playing, and the playoff game.

1364
01:08:23,360 --> 01:08:26,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's it. Yeah, I mean he might

1365
01:08:26,920 --> 01:08:28,559
Speaker 2: have I think Tuney might have gone out there in

1366
01:08:28,560 --> 01:08:32,320
Speaker 2: Week seventeen a couple of times in that Christmas Day game.

1367
01:08:32,920 --> 01:08:37,200
Speaker 3: But yeah, that's I don't want to say it speaks

1368
01:08:37,240 --> 01:08:40,360
Speaker 3: of courageous coaching or desperation. You can take a pick.

1369
01:08:40,400 --> 01:08:41,240
Speaker 2: I think it's the ladder.

1370
01:08:41,360 --> 01:08:42,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean.

1371
01:08:41,960 --> 01:08:43,960
Speaker 2: They knew they had to fix it because Patrick wasn't

1372
01:08:44,000 --> 01:08:46,519
Speaker 2: have enough time to throw and it was a problem

1373
01:08:46,600 --> 01:08:49,240
Speaker 2: last week even with Tuny a tackle. Now the Texans

1374
01:08:49,280 --> 01:08:53,479
Speaker 2: have two premiere edge rushers and Daniel Hunter and Will Anderson.

1375
01:08:53,920 --> 01:08:56,759
Speaker 2: The Bills don't have that. But you got a guard

1376
01:08:56,840 --> 01:08:59,639
Speaker 2: in Tony who's very good and is a serviceable left tackle.

1377
01:08:59,680 --> 01:09:02,080
Speaker 2: Otherwise they want to put him out there, but I'd

1378
01:09:02,080 --> 01:09:04,439
Speaker 2: be putting Greg Russou out there. Put the long guy

1379
01:09:04,520 --> 01:09:06,479
Speaker 2: against the guard and go.

1380
01:09:06,400 --> 01:09:11,160
Speaker 3: To work over there. Use some leverage and long line. Yeah,

1381
01:09:10,880 --> 01:09:15,200
Speaker 3: I'm it's interesting. It's we talk about it every time,

1382
01:09:15,240 --> 01:09:19,439
Speaker 3: and certainly the chiefs of you know, with Mahomes there,

1383
01:09:19,439 --> 01:09:21,840
Speaker 3: they've got they've got a large margin of error. He

1384
01:09:21,880 --> 01:09:24,080
Speaker 3: gives it to him. It's like Josh. You know, Josh

1385
01:09:24,120 --> 01:09:26,320
Speaker 3: is hard to sack. Whether you can protect him or not.

1386
01:09:27,040 --> 01:09:29,040
Speaker 3: They still got to bring the guy down. He's six five,

1387
01:09:29,080 --> 01:09:33,400
Speaker 3: two forty. You know, Corner's going to make a business

1388
01:09:33,400 --> 01:09:35,320
Speaker 3: decision before he comes in and lays one on him.

1389
01:09:35,320 --> 01:09:38,559
Speaker 3: So you know, they're both hard to sack to begin with,

1390
01:09:38,800 --> 01:09:42,679
Speaker 3: and you know, you the more time you give him,

1391
01:09:43,160 --> 01:09:45,200
Speaker 3: the worse it is. And this offensive line of the

1392
01:09:45,240 --> 01:09:48,599
Speaker 3: Chiefs has been a chronic issue for them. They they

1393
01:09:48,680 --> 01:09:53,080
Speaker 3: drafted Creed Humphrey early and he has really helped him.

1394
01:09:53,400 --> 01:09:54,280
Speaker 3: He was he.

1395
01:09:54,320 --> 01:09:55,160
Speaker 2: Replaced Mitch Morse.

1396
01:09:55,240 --> 01:09:57,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was it was either that or the year.

1397
01:09:57,600 --> 01:09:59,759
Speaker 3: Maybe it's one year later. It was a guy in between.

1398
01:09:59,760 --> 01:10:02,639
Speaker 3: There's one guy in between, but yeah, but Creed Humphrey

1399
01:10:02,640 --> 01:10:04,439
Speaker 3: has been an absolute rock in there for him and

1400
01:10:04,479 --> 01:10:09,120
Speaker 3: he's really good. But the edges have always been an

1401
01:10:09,160 --> 01:10:10,200
Speaker 3: issue for Kansas City.

1402
01:10:10,280 --> 01:10:12,320
Speaker 2: And they've tried to address it with draft choices they

1403
01:10:12,360 --> 01:10:13,280
Speaker 2: just have to hand out.

1404
01:10:13,400 --> 01:10:17,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, and we'll see it sooner or later. You need

1405
01:10:17,600 --> 01:10:20,400
Speaker 3: to get good enough to take advantage of teams who

1406
01:10:20,439 --> 01:10:21,439
Speaker 3: struggled in that spot.

1407
01:10:22,080 --> 01:10:23,920
Speaker 2: Topic of discussion, how do you expect this game with

1408
01:10:23,960 --> 01:10:25,960
Speaker 2: the Chiefs to be different from the week eleven matchup?

1409
01:10:26,040 --> 01:10:29,439
Speaker 2: Let's get back to the phones and to Mike and Alec. Oh, sorry,

1410
01:10:29,479 --> 01:10:32,000
Speaker 2: we got Brent and Oregon there. Brent, what do you

1411
01:10:32,000 --> 01:10:33,200
Speaker 2: got for us here? On one Bill's Live.

1412
01:10:34,400 --> 01:10:39,360
Speaker 11: Yeah, I'm very concerned about our day management and our

1413
01:10:39,439 --> 01:10:43,599
Speaker 11: play calling, such as you know, the failure to do

1414
01:10:43,680 --> 01:10:47,280
Speaker 11: the double push push push on Josh to get us

1415
01:10:47,320 --> 01:10:51,040
Speaker 11: twelve instead of eight point lead, which really hurt us

1416
01:10:51,040 --> 01:10:54,800
Speaker 11: there at the end. We got lucky with that mistauch

1417
01:10:55,400 --> 01:11:00,000
Speaker 11: and the other missed two point conversion, So I'm very

1418
01:11:00,200 --> 01:11:00,960
Speaker 11: concerned with that.

1419
01:11:01,840 --> 01:11:03,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I understand.

1420
01:11:03,400 --> 01:11:05,120
Speaker 2: I know there's some people out there that thought they

1421
01:11:05,160 --> 01:11:09,960
Speaker 2: got a little conservative. I would argue that they recognized

1422
01:11:10,240 --> 01:11:12,439
Speaker 2: the flow of that game in the second half, and

1423
01:11:12,479 --> 01:11:15,559
Speaker 2: I think it's somewhat contributed to the play calling. I

1424
01:11:15,560 --> 01:11:18,200
Speaker 2: think they felt that they had to continue to control

1425
01:11:18,280 --> 01:11:21,599
Speaker 2: clock because Baltimore's offense had made some adjustments, they were

1426
01:11:21,640 --> 01:11:24,559
Speaker 2: running the ball more effectively in the second half, and

1427
01:11:24,640 --> 01:11:27,639
Speaker 2: the Buffalo defense was having trouble stopping them and getting

1428
01:11:27,640 --> 01:11:30,000
Speaker 2: off the field, and so I think it became more

1429
01:11:30,680 --> 01:11:34,519
Speaker 2: incumbent upon Buffalo's offense to keep trying to run the

1430
01:11:34,520 --> 01:11:38,400
Speaker 2: football and run clock, hold on to the ball, and

1431
01:11:39,080 --> 01:11:41,759
Speaker 2: move the ball down the field steadily, rather than trying

1432
01:11:41,800 --> 01:11:44,600
Speaker 2: to go to the air score quickly put points on

1433
01:11:44,640 --> 01:11:47,320
Speaker 2: the board. I think they felt, as long as we

1434
01:11:47,360 --> 01:11:50,600
Speaker 2: have the ball Baltimore can't score, that's right, And I

1435
01:11:50,640 --> 01:11:52,840
Speaker 2: felt like that was their approach there in the second half,

1436
01:11:52,880 --> 01:11:55,240
Speaker 2: even though their run game was admittedly less effective than

1437
01:11:55,280 --> 01:11:56,000
Speaker 2: it wasn't the first time.

1438
01:11:56,040 --> 01:11:58,559
Speaker 3: I'll say this, I did not love the third down

1439
01:11:58,640 --> 01:12:01,040
Speaker 3: call in that spot either. I didn't love it. He

1440
01:12:01,080 --> 01:12:02,880
Speaker 3: was in shotgun and they ran a quarter they were

1441
01:12:02,880 --> 01:12:04,240
Speaker 3: gonna run a court. It looked like they were gonna

1442
01:12:04,280 --> 01:12:06,880
Speaker 3: toss it, throw it, you know, which I don't know

1443
01:12:06,880 --> 01:12:08,479
Speaker 3: if I would buy it if I was Baltimore, because

1444
01:12:08,520 --> 01:12:12,560
Speaker 3: they're they were looking at the clock too. They knew Buffalo.

1445
01:12:13,320 --> 01:12:15,160
Speaker 3: I mean, it even looked almost in the first down

1446
01:12:15,160 --> 01:12:18,040
Speaker 3: player maybe it was a second down play. Josh wasn't

1447
01:12:18,040 --> 01:12:19,920
Speaker 3: even trying to score, like he came him up short

1448
01:12:19,960 --> 01:12:21,800
Speaker 3: and slid in on the on his stomach like he

1449
01:12:21,800 --> 01:12:25,680
Speaker 3: almost went down he got tripped. But it looked like

1450
01:12:25,840 --> 01:12:28,320
Speaker 3: the Bills were fine with letting the clock run right there.

1451
01:12:28,880 --> 01:12:32,479
Speaker 3: And so then you line and then you line up

1452
01:12:32,479 --> 01:12:35,439
Speaker 3: in shotgun. I don't know if I buy that. And

1453
01:12:35,840 --> 01:12:37,400
Speaker 3: he ran that quarterback dry, I get it, But then

1454
01:12:37,400 --> 01:12:40,080
Speaker 3: he got stuff for a minus one one point five yards.

1455
01:12:40,760 --> 01:12:42,360
Speaker 3: Now you're on the three. It's like a Now you

1456
01:12:42,400 --> 01:12:44,800
Speaker 3: can't do the tush push. Yeah, you're too far out.

1457
01:12:44,840 --> 01:12:47,479
Speaker 3: You're too far out. So then they got stuck. But

1458
01:12:47,520 --> 01:12:49,559
Speaker 3: that's and so that's why I can listen to the

1459
01:12:49,720 --> 01:12:53,639
Speaker 3: to the play selection on the third down call because

1460
01:12:53,640 --> 01:12:55,559
Speaker 3: of you know obviously how it went, and they'd had

1461
01:12:55,600 --> 01:12:58,000
Speaker 3: some success during the game twice at least where he

1462
01:12:58,040 --> 01:13:01,639
Speaker 3: did the tush push and at worked. So I'm kind

1463
01:13:01,640 --> 01:13:04,200
Speaker 3: of with you on that. But going for the field

1464
01:13:04,240 --> 01:13:08,200
Speaker 3: goal there, that was right, absolutely the right call because

1465
01:13:08,240 --> 01:13:11,880
Speaker 3: of and even though it didn't go the Ravens way,

1466
01:13:12,040 --> 01:13:13,960
Speaker 3: they scored the touchdown but missed the two points, so

1467
01:13:13,960 --> 01:13:16,479
Speaker 3: they were down and now they were done. If they

1468
01:13:16,560 --> 01:13:19,640
Speaker 3: had gotten the two point, the Bills still have a

1469
01:13:19,680 --> 01:13:22,719
Speaker 3: minute thirty one and two timeouts and Josh Allen probably

1470
01:13:22,760 --> 01:13:25,519
Speaker 3: getting the ball at a thirty and he's got to

1471
01:13:25,520 --> 01:13:27,880
Speaker 3: get forty yards to get to a forty eight yard

1472
01:13:27,880 --> 01:13:30,280
Speaker 3: field goal in a in a tie ball game, right,

1473
01:13:30,800 --> 01:13:34,479
Speaker 3: So I liked that chances there too, But I'm with you.

1474
01:13:34,680 --> 01:13:36,600
Speaker 3: The play that I didn't like the entire game. The

1475
01:13:36,640 --> 01:13:38,400
Speaker 3: only one I didn't like was that shotgun on third

1476
01:13:38,439 --> 01:13:40,120
Speaker 3: and short on the goal line.

1477
01:13:40,800 --> 01:13:42,840
Speaker 2: We have to step aside, take a break here, But

1478
01:13:42,880 --> 01:13:45,200
Speaker 2: more of your phone calls when we return, So Phil

1479
01:13:45,240 --> 01:13:47,880
Speaker 2: and Sloan, Vincent and North Evans stay where you are.

1480
01:13:47,960 --> 01:13:49,400
Speaker 2: We'll get to you when we return. Here on One

1481
01:13:49,439 --> 01:14:03,000
Speaker 2: Bill's Live, presented by Colida Health, It's Buffalo Bill's Radio.

1482
01:14:05,360 --> 01:14:08,040
Speaker 2: Eating Up and Cooling Down is presented by Team Mark

1483
01:14:08,160 --> 01:14:10,639
Speaker 2: h Back and Plumbing, calling the home team Trust Team Mark,

1484
01:14:10,680 --> 01:14:13,960
Speaker 2: You're Plumbing h Back and Electric Expert, an official partner

1485
01:14:14,400 --> 01:14:18,559
Speaker 2: of the Buffalo Bills. Heating up Buffalo's turnover margin after

1486
01:14:18,600 --> 01:14:21,479
Speaker 2: their three takeaways and the divisional playoff against the Ravens

1487
01:14:22,080 --> 01:14:25,680
Speaker 2: and no turnovers, there were plus three in the postseason.

1488
01:14:26,200 --> 01:14:29,639
Speaker 2: And Steve pointed this out earlier. It's no secret that

1489
01:14:30,120 --> 01:14:33,439
Speaker 2: you got your final teams that are standing right now.

1490
01:14:34,200 --> 01:14:37,600
Speaker 2: The turnover margin for the final four teams in the

1491
01:14:37,720 --> 01:14:42,400
Speaker 2: NFL playoffs they are a plus fifteen and none of

1492
01:14:42,439 --> 01:14:46,360
Speaker 2: them have given the ball away in the playoffs so far.

1493
01:14:46,840 --> 01:14:49,760
Speaker 3: The Bills are obviously plus three. There were zero zero

1494
01:14:50,000 --> 01:14:52,800
Speaker 3: on the turnover margin with Denver. It was dead even

1495
01:14:52,880 --> 01:14:56,840
Speaker 3: and then got plus three. You look at the postseason statistics,

1496
01:14:56,880 --> 01:15:00,400
Speaker 3: all encompassing, and you talk about cooling down, Josh is

1497
01:15:00,439 --> 01:15:03,439
Speaker 3: averaging less than two hundred yards a game in the

1498
01:15:03,479 --> 01:15:07,000
Speaker 3: playoffs passing, but they've only thrown it forty eight times

1499
01:15:07,760 --> 01:15:10,200
Speaker 3: or drop back to throw it twenty eight forty eight times,

1500
01:15:10,200 --> 01:15:12,080
Speaker 3: and he's completed thirty six of him his seventy five

1501
01:15:12,080 --> 01:15:17,599
Speaker 3: percent completion. I mean, it's not that they're not doing

1502
01:15:17,640 --> 01:15:19,960
Speaker 3: it within no success, they're just not getting chunks of

1503
01:15:20,040 --> 01:15:22,960
Speaker 3: yards and they are absolutely settling for the short stuff.

1504
01:15:24,320 --> 01:15:26,680
Speaker 3: Maybe conditions that this last game had a little something

1505
01:15:26,720 --> 01:15:27,960
Speaker 3: to do with that, but I think it had more

1506
01:15:27,960 --> 01:15:31,040
Speaker 3: to do with you know, a good Baltimore defense still

1507
01:15:31,040 --> 01:15:36,080
Speaker 3: hasn't thrown an interception in the playoffs. But even so,

1508
01:15:37,120 --> 01:15:40,080
Speaker 3: when push comes to shove, they're going to need to

1509
01:15:40,120 --> 01:15:42,880
Speaker 3: throw the football to win games here deep in the playoffs,

1510
01:15:42,880 --> 01:15:45,840
Speaker 3: and you'd like to see him have a little bit

1511
01:15:45,880 --> 01:15:47,080
Speaker 3: more momentum doing it.

1512
01:15:47,240 --> 01:15:50,400
Speaker 2: So, even though cooling down is Buffalo's pass game, we

1513
01:15:50,439 --> 01:15:53,000
Speaker 2: don't expect that to continue this week. I'm gonna have

1514
01:15:53,040 --> 01:15:54,880
Speaker 2: to throw the ball and stay balanced if you're going

1515
01:15:54,920 --> 01:15:55,840
Speaker 2: to beat this Chiefs team.

1516
01:15:55,880 --> 01:15:58,720
Speaker 3: It never really scares me, particularly when you're completing seventy two,

1517
01:15:59,000 --> 01:16:01,760
Speaker 3: you know, seventy plus percent to the throws. You're gonna

1518
01:16:01,760 --> 01:16:03,559
Speaker 3: be fine if you can do that and I'll say

1519
01:16:03,560 --> 01:16:06,200
Speaker 3: this to Josh didn't look his best against Baltimore. He

1520
01:16:06,240 --> 01:16:09,400
Speaker 3: missed Mac Collins on the whole shot. Uh, he's short

1521
01:16:09,520 --> 01:16:12,040
Speaker 3: armed ay or maybe off a back foot to Kincaid

1522
01:16:12,080 --> 01:16:13,760
Speaker 3: in the first drive of the second half that would

1523
01:16:13,800 --> 01:16:14,920
Speaker 3: have extended that drive.

1524
01:16:16,479 --> 01:16:18,639
Speaker 2: Also made a couple of wrong calls on some read.

1525
01:16:18,439 --> 01:16:20,559
Speaker 3: Options options too. Yeah, that's a little more.

1526
01:16:20,720 --> 01:16:22,960
Speaker 2: We'll checked into a wrong play with Dawson Knox on

1527
01:16:22,960 --> 01:16:24,320
Speaker 2: the screenplay.

1528
01:16:23,920 --> 01:16:28,479
Speaker 3: Right, So, I don't know if Josh was sharp. He'll

1529
01:16:28,479 --> 01:16:31,040
Speaker 3: be better this week. He'll be laser focused this week. Yeah,

1530
01:16:31,080 --> 01:16:34,440
Speaker 3: I think this is These are the kind of games, unfortunately,

1531
01:16:34,439 --> 01:16:37,400
Speaker 3: this kind of unfortunately for Kansas City's the kind of

1532
01:16:37,400 --> 01:16:40,040
Speaker 3: games where Josh does kind of elevate in these big moments.

1533
01:16:40,439 --> 01:16:44,320
Speaker 3: Unfortunately for Buffalo, it's where Pat Mahomes elevates any moment. Yeah,

1534
01:16:44,520 --> 01:16:46,160
Speaker 3: and that's what makes it. That's why these guys are

1535
01:16:46,160 --> 01:16:48,840

Speaker 3: Thanks.

1547
01:17:07,560 --> 01:17:10,519
Speaker 12: I wanted to bring up a point. About two hours

1548
01:17:10,560 --> 01:17:14,720
Speaker 12: before kickoff, a weather alert came out through the parking lot.

1549
01:17:14,920 --> 01:17:17,479
Speaker 12: It was like a siren went off. Yeah, it got

1550
01:17:17,560 --> 01:17:20,080
Speaker 12: quiet as could be. Then it just turned into a

1551
01:17:20,200 --> 01:17:21,479
Speaker 12: raving charge of.

1552
01:17:21,520 --> 01:17:22,840
Speaker 13: Let's go buffalow.

1553
01:17:23,479 --> 01:17:25,840
Speaker 12: I've never experienced I'm I'm a season ticket holder for

1554
01:17:25,880 --> 01:17:28,280
Speaker 12: quite a few years now, and I never heard her

1555
01:17:28,320 --> 01:17:31,400
Speaker 12: seeing anything like that happen like that. It was fantastic.

1556
01:17:32,000 --> 01:17:34,400
Speaker 12: I just couldn't believe it. And that was outside of

1557
01:17:34,400 --> 01:17:36,599
Speaker 12: the stadium, not even inside. I bet you could hear

1558
01:17:36,600 --> 01:17:37,519
Speaker 12: it for miles around.

1559
01:17:37,840 --> 01:17:39,439
Speaker 2: My phone went off too, I mean I was on

1560
01:17:39,479 --> 01:17:41,240
Speaker 2: the air doing a pregame show and it went off.

1561
01:17:41,240 --> 01:17:42,519
Speaker 2: Everybody's phones were going off.

1562
01:17:42,600 --> 01:17:43,000
Speaker 7: Yeah.

1563
01:17:43,080 --> 01:17:45,040
Speaker 2: And the crazy thing was it's for It was for

1564
01:17:45,120 --> 01:17:48,000
Speaker 2: a lake effect snow warning that didn't begin until one am.

1565
01:17:48,840 --> 01:17:49,960
Speaker 12: Yeah, one am.

1566
01:17:50,000 --> 01:17:53,479
Speaker 2: And it's like, you gotta tell us that that was that.

1567
01:17:53,520 --> 01:17:56,040
Speaker 12: Polling cars trying to give us an extra shot in

1568
01:17:56,040 --> 01:17:58,760
Speaker 12: the army, making that mindset into Baltimore's head.

1569
01:17:59,520 --> 01:18:03,919
Speaker 3: I don't doubt it, but nevertheless, the atmosphere was fantastic.

1570
01:18:03,960 --> 01:18:06,640
Speaker 3: You're right with her. Without the weather warning, the atmosphere

1571
01:18:06,640 --> 01:18:12,679
Speaker 3: in that stadium was unbelievable. It was absolutely fantastic. Albert

1572
01:18:12,680 --> 01:18:15,720
Speaker 3: Breer wrote something in his notes on dot Com on

1573
01:18:15,840 --> 01:18:18,200
Speaker 3: SI dot com that he tipped his hat to the

1574
01:18:18,240 --> 01:18:21,479
Speaker 3: Buffalo fans. He said, the electricity in the stadium was

1575
01:18:21,520 --> 01:18:25,400
Speaker 3: absolutely fantastic. He said, the fans were there, they were loud, totally.

1576
01:18:25,479 --> 01:18:28,280
Speaker 3: He goes in what a league that has become and

1577
01:18:28,400 --> 01:18:32,200
Speaker 3: some games and some venues that have become largely corporate events.

1578
01:18:32,760 --> 01:18:36,400
Speaker 3: This seemed like a community event. The fans were on

1579
01:18:36,479 --> 01:18:40,200
Speaker 3: their feet and engage the entire game. And we kind

1580
01:18:40,200 --> 01:18:42,479
Speaker 3: of sometimes take that for granted here in Buffalo because

1581
01:18:42,479 --> 01:18:45,600
Speaker 3: it's part of the way it works. But you know,

1582
01:18:45,640 --> 01:18:49,519
Speaker 3: there noted that some Buffalo Bills fans would be happy

1583
01:18:49,560 --> 01:18:51,960
Speaker 3: to find out that there are people who notice a

1584
01:18:52,000 --> 01:18:54,880
Speaker 3: difference and who go to a lot of football games.

1585
01:18:54,960 --> 01:18:56,720
Speaker 3: It was it's a different kind of atmosphere here in

1586
01:18:56,760 --> 01:19:00,800
Speaker 3: Buffalo and his and to his point, he hopes it

1587
01:19:00,840 --> 01:19:03,200
Speaker 3: continues in the next the next place across the street,

1588
01:19:03,200 --> 01:19:04,439
Speaker 3: and I think it really will.

1589
01:19:04,680 --> 01:19:08,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's go to Vincent in North Evans. What's that Vincent?

1590
01:19:09,320 --> 01:19:09,799
Speaker 7: Hello?

1591
01:19:10,360 --> 01:19:14,559
Speaker 13: I'm the same, no positive Buffalo. Every week we stressed

1592
01:19:14,600 --> 01:19:17,800
Speaker 13: from week to week with every game. So this week,

1593
01:19:17,840 --> 01:19:21,439
Speaker 13: instead of saying, let's go Buffalo, we should relax for

1594
01:19:21,560 --> 01:19:25,040
Speaker 13: going to the conference champs. Let's glow Buffalo.

1595
01:19:25,640 --> 01:19:26,759
Speaker 11: How do you like that one?

1596
01:19:27,040 --> 01:19:28,840
Speaker 2: Okay, little play on words there.

1597
01:19:29,800 --> 01:19:30,840
Speaker 7: I just had to throw that in.

1598
01:19:30,920 --> 01:19:34,080
Speaker 13: We got to relax a little bit, and I feel relaxed.

1599
01:19:34,120 --> 01:19:35,360
Speaker 2: So, oh that's good.

1600
01:19:35,400 --> 01:19:38,800
Speaker 3: Well, there has been some some tar and listen, the

1601
01:19:38,840 --> 01:19:45,000
Speaker 3: Bills have proven all the all the pundits in the

1602
01:19:45,080 --> 01:19:50,759
Speaker 3: league on ESPN, on the NFL Network, on Fox, CBS, NBC,

1603
01:19:51,400 --> 01:19:55,320
Speaker 3: none of the guys who commentate on Buffalo and or

1604
01:19:55,439 --> 01:19:58,360
Speaker 3: commentate on the NFL pick Buffalo to do anything this year.

1605
01:19:58,360 --> 01:20:00,200
Speaker 3: They thought they were gonna get third in the Vision.

1606
01:20:00,240 --> 01:20:01,960
Speaker 3: They didn't think they would win the division again for

1607
01:20:02,000 --> 01:20:02,720
Speaker 3: a fifth straight to.

1608
01:20:02,840 --> 01:20:05,160
Speaker 2: People have predicted them to be single digit win team.

1609
01:20:05,240 --> 01:20:07,479
Speaker 3: They thought they would lose. They didn't think they would

1610
01:20:07,479 --> 01:20:09,479
Speaker 3: they might even have a losing season. They just thought,

1611
01:20:09,720 --> 01:20:12,600
Speaker 3: there's no way this team is going to be anywhere

1612
01:20:12,640 --> 01:20:18,960
Speaker 3: near the conference championship game. And to your point, it

1613
01:20:19,160 --> 01:20:22,920
Speaker 3: is for the no stress for a ton of people,

1614
01:20:22,920 --> 01:20:25,639
Speaker 3: and some fans. I think too. Man, they're on house

1615
01:20:25,680 --> 01:20:29,880
Speaker 3: money right now. The expectations have already been exceeded. They're

1616
01:20:29,960 --> 01:20:34,479
Speaker 3: further than they've been since twenty twenty and early twenty

1617
01:20:34,479 --> 01:20:37,960
Speaker 3: twenty one, and you know, people are really feeling good

1618
01:20:37,960 --> 01:20:43,120
Speaker 3: about it. I don't know that I can get there yet.

1619
01:20:44,520 --> 01:20:48,320
Speaker 3: These opportunities while this team and Josh and Sean and

1620
01:20:48,479 --> 01:20:51,880
Speaker 3: Brandon and the dudes on the team are going to

1621
01:20:51,920 --> 01:20:53,680
Speaker 3: continue to play at a high level as long as

1622
01:20:53,680 --> 01:20:55,880
Speaker 3: they're here in Buffalo and coach at a high level

1623
01:20:55,920 --> 01:21:00,200
Speaker 3: and be GM at a high level, these opportunities you

1624
01:21:00,240 --> 01:21:01,920
Speaker 3: got to save them, and you got to make sure

1625
01:21:01,960 --> 01:21:03,880
Speaker 3: you maximize everyone. And that doesn't mean you're going to

1626
01:21:03,920 --> 01:21:06,000
Speaker 3: go to the super Bowl every single year, and the

1627
01:21:06,040 --> 01:21:08,720
Speaker 3: Bills have yet to do that under Sean McDermott. But man,

1628
01:21:08,720 --> 01:21:11,000
Speaker 3: oh man, they're getting a lot of shots on goal,

1629
01:21:11,720 --> 01:21:13,799
Speaker 3: and sooner or later you're gonna get one that dribbles

1630
01:21:13,840 --> 01:21:17,080
Speaker 3: across the line. You didn't get there, and this year

1631
01:21:17,320 --> 01:21:20,080
Speaker 3: is this is the best opportunity because it's the one

1632
01:21:20,080 --> 01:21:22,479
Speaker 3: you got right now, all you got to do is

1633
01:21:22,479 --> 01:21:27,919
Speaker 3: play well on Sunday. It's simple, but not easy.

1634
01:21:28,760 --> 01:21:31,560

1674
01:23:21,040 --> 01:23:22,840
Speaker 3: big cleansing breath and say, now we got this.

1675
01:23:23,479 --> 01:23:24,719

1676
01:23:24,800 --> 01:23:26,880
Speaker 3: We know well, I've yeah, I've been through that. I've

1677
01:23:26,920 --> 01:23:28,360
Speaker 3: been one of those guys sitting in the locker room,

1678
01:23:28,400 --> 01:23:30,920
Speaker 3: and I know how much goes into it. And and

1679
01:23:31,200 --> 01:23:34,800
Speaker 3: some of the quirkiest most unpredictable stuff gets in the way.

1680
01:23:34,840 --> 01:23:39,480
Speaker 2: Sometimes back to the phones and to Rocco in Sarasota.

1681
01:23:39,520 --> 01:23:40,360
Speaker 2: What do you got for us? Rock?

1682

1684
01:23:48,040 --> 01:23:51,040
Speaker 15: Two things I'm coaching. One on the offense. I thought

1685
01:23:51,080 --> 01:23:54,400
Speaker 15: that mister Brady, who I really do appreciate and like,

1686
01:23:55,640 --> 01:23:58,040
Speaker 15: really almost cast us the game once I saw that

1687
01:23:58,240 --> 01:24:03,280
Speaker 15: eye formation starting off the second half. It almost killed us.

1688
01:24:03,320 --> 01:24:05,160
Speaker 15: That killed our momentum. We had what we were doing

1689
01:24:05,200 --> 01:24:07,320
Speaker 15: in the first half. And then the second thing before

1690
01:24:07,320 --> 01:24:12,120
Speaker 15: I hang up, why do we have Quinton Jefferson on

1691
01:24:12,160 --> 01:24:15,800
Speaker 15: the last play that he threw the touchdown as one

1692
01:24:15,840 --> 01:24:19,000
Speaker 15: of our people? First of all, why are we only

1693
01:24:19,120 --> 01:24:21,920
Speaker 15: rushing three? And I understand we have a spy at

1694
01:24:21,960 --> 01:24:25,920
Speaker 15: the fourth, but that was the coaching almost cast us

1695
01:24:25,920 --> 01:24:26,200
Speaker 15: the game.

1696
01:24:27,000 --> 01:24:29,320
Speaker 3: Thanks guys, all right, thanks very well to know the

1697
01:24:29,320 --> 01:24:31,960
Speaker 3: opposite way. I think coaching actually helped win the game.

1698
01:24:32,439 --> 01:24:34,479
Speaker 2: And this made the right decision on the field goal

1699
01:24:34,479 --> 01:24:35,400
Speaker 2: at the end to go up eight.

1700
01:24:35,520 --> 01:24:38,400
Speaker 3: And I'll say this too, Lamar made a fantastic play

1701
01:24:38,680 --> 01:24:40,840
Speaker 3: rush three. It's hard for to stand back there as

1702
01:24:40,840 --> 01:24:44,080
Speaker 3: a quarterback rushing three or rushing four. Lamar wasn't having it.

1703
01:24:44,120 --> 01:24:45,720
Speaker 3: He was not gonna throw that, he was not going

1704
01:24:45,800 --> 01:24:48,320
Speaker 3: to run it, and he wanted to throw it. And

1705
01:24:49,200 --> 01:24:52,320
Speaker 3: that was a great play by a great quarterback. You

1706
01:24:52,400 --> 01:24:54,240
Speaker 3: got to tip your hat Josh. You know we'd be

1707
01:24:54,280 --> 01:24:57,240
Speaker 3: giving kudos to Josh over that play that he threw

1708
01:24:57,320 --> 01:25:02,200
Speaker 3: to was likely in the end zone. It's a great

1709
01:25:02,200 --> 01:25:06,360
Speaker 3: play by Lamar, and the Bills wanted him to throw

1710
01:25:06,400 --> 01:25:08,599
Speaker 3: it on time, and you know, they just couldn't make

1711
01:25:08,640 --> 01:25:10,120
Speaker 3: him do it with a three man rush. I get it.

1712
01:25:10,160 --> 01:25:12,719
Speaker 2: I agree with Roco. The three man rush never works.

1713
01:25:13,000 --> 01:25:13,839
Speaker 2: It never works.

1714
01:25:14,400 --> 01:25:16,880
Speaker 3: That was almost counting on Lamar making a mistake.

1715
01:25:17,520 --> 01:25:20,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, three man rush does not work, especially at the

1716
01:25:20,240 --> 01:25:21,200
Speaker 2: end of a football game.

1717
01:25:21,240 --> 01:25:23,840
Speaker 3: You can you want to commit eight to coverage, you.

1718
01:25:23,840 --> 01:25:25,840
Speaker 2: Know, in between the twenties, I'm okay with that, but

1719
01:25:26,160 --> 01:25:30,679
Speaker 2: when they're in scoring territory, the three man rush, it's tough,

1720
01:25:30,920 --> 01:25:32,680
Speaker 2: Like you don't get there. He's got all day to

1721
01:25:32,680 --> 01:25:35,080
Speaker 2: throw and even if you got eight guys in coverage,

1722
01:25:35,160 --> 01:25:37,519
Speaker 2: they can't cover for ten seconds. Nobody in this league

1723
01:25:37,520 --> 01:25:40,799
Speaker 2: can cover that long, right, So I'm of the opinion

1724
01:25:40,880 --> 01:25:44,479
Speaker 2: that get after the quarterback and rush him make him

1725
01:25:44,600 --> 01:25:47,840
Speaker 2: do something faster rather than rely on coverage to cover

1726
01:25:47,960 --> 01:25:50,840
Speaker 2: for ten seconds. And the reason Quentin Jefferson and Javon

1727
01:25:50,920 --> 01:25:53,639
Speaker 2: Solomon were on the field was because the regular guys

1728
01:25:53,640 --> 01:25:56,000
Speaker 2: were gassed. That's the seventh play of the drive. It's

1729
01:25:56,040 --> 01:25:59,320
Speaker 2: all hurry up, no huddle, They're going fast. At least

1730
01:25:59,320 --> 01:26:01,880
Speaker 2: they were fresh, yeah, and that that was the only

1731
01:26:01,920 --> 01:26:04,320
Speaker 2: reason they were in the game, because they're the fresh legs.

1732
01:26:04,439 --> 01:26:04,759
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1733
01:26:04,800 --> 01:26:07,920
Speaker 2: So in an ideal world, you're off the field after

1734
01:26:08,040 --> 01:26:10,439
Speaker 2: four plays and you don't have to go deeper into

1735
01:26:10,479 --> 01:26:10,800
Speaker 2: your betch.

1736
01:26:10,880 --> 01:26:14,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, but three man rush or not, I'd go the

1737
01:26:14,520 --> 01:26:21,000
Speaker 3: other way. Coaching won that game in large measure. I

1738
01:26:21,000 --> 01:26:23,439
Speaker 3: don't think it really And you know, they are going

1739
01:26:23,520 --> 01:26:26,040
Speaker 3: to take some risks and offense and defense, and sometimes

1740
01:26:26,040 --> 01:26:28,759
Speaker 3: they pay off and sometimes they don't. Joe Brady's calling

1741
01:26:28,760 --> 01:26:31,920
Speaker 3: that third and short that God, Josh stuffed out a shotguns.

1742
01:26:32,160 --> 01:26:34,280
Speaker 3: You know, I was obviously, if it doesn't work, you

1743
01:26:34,280 --> 01:26:36,400
Speaker 3: should have done the other thing. But I'm the first

1744
01:26:36,400 --> 01:26:40,840
Speaker 3: guy to say that. But you know, those guys, those

1745
01:26:40,880 --> 01:26:43,680
Speaker 3: guys coached extremely well and effect they were effective in

1746
01:26:43,720 --> 01:26:48,240
Speaker 3: this game. Clock management, game management, all of that, and

1747
01:26:48,280 --> 01:26:52,040
Speaker 3: certainly no coaching staff will ever tell you they called

1748
01:26:52,040 --> 01:26:55,400
Speaker 3: a perfect game ever, even if they win at all,

1749
01:26:56,280 --> 01:26:58,720
Speaker 3: So you get a you know you're not going to

1750
01:26:58,760 --> 01:27:01,920
Speaker 3: bat a thousand there anyway. So I'm it worked and

1751
01:27:02,000 --> 01:27:04,760
Speaker 3: I know this sounds it's Revision's history. It worked out

1752
01:27:05,200 --> 01:27:08,200
Speaker 3: and they made the right decisions to get them to

1753
01:27:08,200 --> 01:27:10,920
Speaker 3: that point. So I'm not gonna I think you got

1754
01:27:10,960 --> 01:27:13,200
Speaker 3: to give the coaching staff their flowers on this game,

1755
01:27:13,280 --> 01:27:16,800
Speaker 3: not not criticize them for that, because that they were

1756
01:27:17,240 --> 01:27:18,920
Speaker 3: above and beyond in this one.

1757
01:27:19,080 --> 01:27:20,840
Speaker 2: Break time for us. We'll see if we can squeeze

1758
01:27:20,840 --> 01:27:22,439
Speaker 2: a phone call in when we get back here on

1759
01:27:22,439 --> 01:27:24,400
Speaker 2: One Bill's Live on a Tuesday, stay with us.

1760
01:27:39,920 --> 01:27:41,439
Speaker 3: All right back here on One Bill's Live.

1761
01:27:41,400 --> 01:27:44,599
Speaker 2: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you, and uh, we're gonna

1762
01:27:44,640 --> 01:27:46,160
Speaker 2: try to squeeze one more phone call in.

1763
01:27:46,240 --> 01:27:47,160
Speaker 3: It's Brian on his cell.

1764
01:27:47,240 --> 01:27:47,920
Speaker 2: What do you got for us?

1765
01:27:47,920 --> 01:27:48,160
Speaker 3: Brian?

1766
01:27:49,720 --> 01:27:52,799
Speaker 13: Yeah, gentlemen. First of all, it's really easy for someone

1767
01:27:52,800 --> 01:27:55,639
Speaker 13: to say, you know, the coaching staff let them down,

1768
01:27:55,680 --> 01:27:58,200
Speaker 13: but they're not on the field. They're not there, they're

1769
01:27:58,200 --> 01:28:01,439
Speaker 13: eating the bowl of corn chips couch. They're not there

1770
01:28:01,479 --> 01:28:03,720
Speaker 13: when it's live. But my question for you guys, I

1771
01:28:03,840 --> 01:28:06,439
Speaker 13: just wanted to throw that in because this is how

1772
01:28:06,520 --> 01:28:09,200
Speaker 13: I am. I've been in mind cannon for a long time.

1773
01:28:09,479 --> 01:28:13,920
Speaker 13: I'm back home. Uh here's my thinking about this ship.

1774
01:28:14,240 --> 01:28:17,559
Speaker 13: Excuse me think about this stuff. What do you think

1775
01:28:17,600 --> 01:28:21,439
Speaker 13: about the Jordan Tooyer Micah Hyde backfield? You think that

1776
01:28:21,520 --> 01:28:23,000
Speaker 13: was a mistake. Let them guys go.

1777
01:28:23,360 --> 01:28:28,559
Speaker 3: No, No, they're much more athletic back there. And and

1778
01:28:28,640 --> 01:28:34,200
Speaker 3: it was time. Even Micah knew who's back in the building. Uh,

1779
01:28:34,240 --> 01:28:37,000
Speaker 3: it's not the plan is for him not to play. Uh,

1780
01:28:37,040 --> 01:28:39,400
Speaker 3: they're doing that because he can help and mentor. He's

1781
01:28:39,439 --> 01:28:42,040
Speaker 3: more of a of a quasi coach with a practice

1782
01:28:42,040 --> 01:28:46,360
Speaker 3: squad spot designation than anything. He's not he's not gonna play.

1783
01:28:46,400 --> 01:28:48,720
Speaker 2: And Poyer has has lost a step. And if you

1784
01:28:48,760 --> 01:28:51,240
Speaker 2: needed convincing, go back to week two and watch James

1785
01:28:51,240 --> 01:28:55,439
Speaker 2: Cook out angle Jordan Poyer on a forty nine yard touchdown.

1786
01:28:55,520 --> 01:28:55,880
Speaker 6: Yeah.

1787
01:28:55,960 --> 01:28:59,160
Speaker 3: I mean, Jordan is a great player, but he's he's

1788
01:28:59,240 --> 01:29:00,760
Speaker 3: long in the tooth and it's hard to do that

1789
01:29:00,840 --> 01:29:02,639
Speaker 3: when you can't run like you should.

1790
01:29:02,800 --> 01:29:06,160
Speaker 2: And look, those two guys were cornerstone players for what

1791
01:29:06,280 --> 01:29:09,400
Speaker 2: Sean McDermott has built here. They will be remembered here

1792
01:29:09,439 --> 01:29:11,960
Speaker 2: for a long time. He fondly for the cornerstones they

1793
01:29:12,080 --> 01:29:17,400
Speaker 2: laid for this franchise. Absolutely, so nothing lasts forever, unfortunately. Yeah,

1794
01:29:17,439 --> 01:29:20,160
Speaker 2: even the things that you like. So that's just kind

1795
01:29:20,200 --> 01:29:22,240
Speaker 2: of the way it goes. And look, they got capable

1796
01:29:22,240 --> 01:29:25,879
Speaker 2: guys right now playing good football. Taylor Rapp, DeMar Hamlin,

1797
01:29:26,200 --> 01:29:30,519
Speaker 2: even Cole Bishop is showing some promise here. So we

1798
01:29:30,560 --> 01:29:33,240
Speaker 2: will see where things go once the team gets back

1799
01:29:33,280 --> 01:29:36,599
Speaker 2: on the practice field tomorrow, we'll have full practice updates

1800
01:29:36,600 --> 01:29:40,080
Speaker 2: for you along with comments from coach McDermott with an

1801
01:29:40,080 --> 01:29:43,639
Speaker 2: injury update. See what the situation is there and get

1802
01:29:43,680 --> 01:29:46,240
Speaker 2: ready because we're a day closer to this game tomorrow.

1803
01:29:46,280 --> 01:29:47,320
Speaker 3: We'll see you tomorrow.
