00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 3: No, I think it's more than that, is it. It's

31
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 3: probably closer to eight to ten. Okay, yeah, I would say, I.

34
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 1: big difference.

35
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, But it was camped out. It was

36
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,760

37
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,920

Speaker 1: you left.

40
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 3: My wife texted me about an hour before we were

41
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 3: off the air and she said, we're getting slammed. So

42
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 3: we got about another The roads were the side streets

43
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 3: were bad on my way home yesterday because they had

44
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 3: yet to be cleared and we were getting one to

45
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 3: two inches an hour.

46
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: So it was, uh, it was a little squirrely.

47
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 3: But you nothing, you can navigate, you just go slower.

48
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 1: You park in in the garage, yesh, okay, right, Oh yes,

49
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: my cars are garage kept twelve months out of the year.

50
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 3: I am not gonna leave it out in the driveway

51
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 3: guy at all, especially this time.

52
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 4: He right.

53
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 1: I mean really, it's one of the things, like.

54
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, the only thing that I keep having trouble with.

55
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 3: And I'm really jealous in my neighbor. So my neighbor

56
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 3: has a garage floor with a drainage thing right down

57
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:17,079
Speaker 3: the middle.

58
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: Oh, you don't have a drainage thing in your garage.

59
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: Not in my garage pad. You have no drainage. So

60
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,799
Speaker 1: you raised, I got it. Well, it wasn't my choice.

61
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: I didn't build the dang house. Oh my god.

62
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 3: But uh so I have water from the melted snow

63
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 3: off my cars just sitting in a giant puddle in

64
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 3: my garage. So like every day now I'm squeegeying that

65
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 3: stuff out of my garage into the driveway. It's just

66
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 3: it's a small inconvenience. I'm not I'm not complaining. I

67
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 3: just wish I had a drainage system. In there, and

68
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 3: I shuddered to think what it would cost to install one.

69
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: Kind of sounds like you're complaining. Yeah, probably probably a

70
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: little bit.

71
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 3: I'll jump into grumpy old man mode for a second here,

72
00:03:58,640 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 3: but yeah, it's just.

73
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: Every so often. Yeah, I look at myself going.

74
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 3: You discussed, and your garage floor is just it's disgusting

75
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 3: because all of the black snow that your tires kick

76
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 3: up and sit in your wheel wells. You pull in

77
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 3: at night it's forty degrees in the garage, it melts out.

78
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 3: Now you got black dirt and road grime all over

79
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 3: your garage floor. Yeah, it's well one of the minor

80
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 3: inconveniences we deal with this time of year.

81
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: That's where we're at. It's where at. But I'm I'm

Speaker 1: they want to care. All they care about is the snow.

95
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: What it was it going to be like? You know,

96
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 1: that's you got to give him this weather report and

97
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: you start talking about it and you start using this

98
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: lake effecting one and you forget that. They don't know

99
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 1: what that, no idea what that is. They're like, what

100
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 1: do you miss lake effect? Does that mean that? No?

101
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 3: We had Ryan Leaf on the show yesterday and he

102
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 3: said he learned what lake effects snow was based on

103
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 3: the four days he got stuck.

104
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: Here, right, he had never heard of it before. He's

105
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 1: from Montana, that's right. So so I was on today

106
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 1: with the Chiefs people, and you know, there it really is.

107
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 1: You get the feeling and great, great folks out there,

108
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: and you know, but you can understand how it's been

109
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: this way for other franchise as well. It was probably

110
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 1: this way for New England when they were going every

111
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: year and all that stuff. There is such a calm

112
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 1: expectation for how this season goes for them. I remember

113
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: I did it I did a game early in the

114
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: season when Tom Brady was in New England and they

115
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: were playing the Dolphins. I was a sideline reporter for

116
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:07,919
Speaker 1: CBS and the Dolphins go out seventeen to three or

117
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 1: something in this game in the first half, and the

118
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 1: fans in New England didn't. They were like, they didn't

119
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: even play. They were like, well, come on, let's go.

120
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: They weren't. There was no complaining, they weren't drinking. Yeah,

121
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 1: they let's go. This is gonna be great. And sure

122
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: enough come back and sure enough they you know, they

123
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:28,599
Speaker 1: came back and it was And it's kind of like

124
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 1: way in Kansas City now, I get the vibe where

125
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: you call talking they're like, eh, you know, well we'll

126
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: you know, we're just making plans for the AFC Championship

127
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,479
Speaker 1: in Baltimore kind of thing, you know, kind of that

128
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: feeling like they're doing what they're waiting to see. They

129
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:42,479
Speaker 1: think this is gonna be a good game, all that stuff,

130
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:44,600
Speaker 1: but they just kind of you just kind of get

131
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 1: this feeling like this and yeah, listen, we're good. Yeah,

132
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:53,720
Speaker 1: there's no I don't get any angst. Yeah, Buffalo people

Speaker 1: and none of that from the Chiefs, you know, kind

137
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,840

Speaker 3: of that. Do not come in any Red Bill's paraphernalia.

157
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 3: Blue blue, blue, blue, blue, And I think the Bills

158
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 3: are wearing their home blues this week anyway.

159
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: Is it blue on blue or blue with white paint?

160
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 3: That I didn't see the official an uniform choice.

161
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:38,439
Speaker 1: Usually that that was kind of a big deal during

162
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,079
Speaker 1: the regular season is kind of the secondary.

163
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm wondering if the Chiefs are gonna go white

164
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:46,199
Speaker 3: jersey red pants, or if that's old that's old school,

165
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 3: or if they're going.

166
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 1: To go all white. I think they go kind of

167
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:50,719
Speaker 1: they're all white, you know. I'm a big fan of

168
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: the old white.

169
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 3: Yeah.

170
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 1: I like those two even they look good on Buffalo

171
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 1: too correct. Yeah, the Stormtrooper.

172
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 3: Look, I mean, the Chiefs have a red helmet, so

173
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 3: it kind of chops it up a little bit.

174
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 1: Bills.

175
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 3: When they go all white with that stormtrooper, he looks

176
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 3: pretty cool. So yeah, all blue is the edict for

177
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 3: Sunday's game. A couple of news and notes concerning the

178
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 3: Bills end this game on Sunday.

179
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 1: In case you hadn't heard.

180
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 3: Hall of Famer Bruce Smith is this weekend's bfl o

181
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 3: Store Legend of the Game when the Bills host the Chiefs,

182
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 3: so much like Steve did last week, He'll be down

183
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,959
Speaker 3: on the field right after the national Anthem, firing you

184
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:32,319
Speaker 3: folks up for kickoff, So we look forward to that.

185
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 3: We saw an honor bestowed upon Bill's rookie offensive lineman

186
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 3: Osiris Torrance. He was named to the All Rookie Team,

187
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 3: the NFL's All Rookie Team by NFL Network's Bucky Brooks,

188
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 3: who puts that list together every year at NFL dot Com.

189
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 3: So congrats to Osiris or Cybo, as his teammates call him.

190
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 3: Kind of a cool recognition for him. And then there

191
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 3: are the practice update. Steve Bill's practice updates presented by

192
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 3: leecom your Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine head coach

193
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 3: Sean McDermott earlier today ruled out the following players for

194
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 3: Sunday's game against the Chiefs. Wide receiver Game Davis, safety

195
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 3: tailor rap cornerback Christian Benford, and linebacker Baylon Specter. Everyone

196
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 3: else on the injury report has a chance to play

197
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 3: on Sunday. Coach McDermott characterized most of those players as

198
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 3: game time decisions. Terrell Bernard is not practicing in this

199
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 3: Friday walkthrough today, but he is not yet ruled out

200
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 3: for Sunday's game, coach McDermott saying he wanted to see

201
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 3: how he looks on Saturday and even Sunday morning. Now,

202
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,439
Speaker 3: let's not forget you got all day Sunday too, because

203
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 3: kickoffs not until six thirty, So there's some extra time

204
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:00,080
Speaker 3: there as well.

205
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, there is, but the extra time was used up

206
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 1: on the other end. You only got six days correct

207
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: the game, So yeah, it tough to get back. He could,

208
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 1: and believe me, the fact that he's got a chance

209
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 1: is way better than we thought we were going to

210
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 1: be when he went down.

211
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 3: Ahead h carl I thinking season ending.

212
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it'll be interesting to see how fast he

213
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 1: does get back, even if it's not this week, and

214
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,959
Speaker 1: if the Bills can find a way to get a victory,

215
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: maybe he has a chance for next week. So yeah,

216
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:31,839
Speaker 1: keeping a close eye on that.

217
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,719
Speaker 3: The other new development was Stefan Diggs was added to

218
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 3: the injury report yesterday for veteran rest and a foot ailment,

219
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 3: and he is limited in practice again today as he

220
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 3: was yesterday. Coach McDermott kind of described this as something

221
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 3: that has cropped up as more of an issue through

222
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 3: the course of the practice week, so he was added

223
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 3: to the injury report. As we know, nobody's really one

224
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,680
Speaker 3: hundred percent, so presumably he was a less less than

225
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 3: one hundred percent coming out of the game, and then

226
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:04,719
Speaker 3: through the course of the week this foot got to

227
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 3: a point where he had to be listed on the

228
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:10,719
Speaker 3: injury report. That is a concern. Receivers don't have their wheels,

229
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 3: it's hard to perform. So hopefully he's getting the right

230
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 3: treatment and can get himself on the field and more

231
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 3: importantly be effective on someday.

232
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 1: There's nothing more important than your than your legs when

233
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: you're a wide receiver. I mean it's I remember thinking

234
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 1: to myself, there's nothing worse for a wide out than

235
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 1: a foot injury because you can't do what you're supposed

236
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 1: to be able to do, and that's run and move

237
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: and cut and catch and all of that stuff. You

238
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 1: can't even get to the ball to catch it. So

239
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: it's a yeah, that's that's a tough development for for Diggs.

240
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 3: And then Sam Martin the punter, who sustained the hamstring

241
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:52,439
Speaker 3: injury last week against Pittsburgh, practiced on a limited basis yesterday,

242
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 3: so he has not yet been ruled out either.

243
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 1: But this is a really tricky spot, Steve.

244
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 3: It's it's not like you can go into a game

245
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 3: and say, well, let's see how far he gets through

246
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 3: the game, and then if he can't finish, we'll just

247
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 3: plug somebody else.

248
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 1: And it's not like linebacker, you know what I mean.

249
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 3: It's a one it's a one man position. You gotta

250
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 3: be confident he's gonna be able to get through the game.

251
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's and it's not so much. I mean, everybody

252
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: grows up punting the football. It's not like nobody could

253
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,079
Speaker 1: do it, but there is an art to it, and

254
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,079
Speaker 1: to be good at it, you gotta practice it. None

255
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 1: of these other guys practice it. The secondary thing is,

256
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 1: I guess he could probably still hold for a few

257
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:35,959
Speaker 1: goals and extra points.

258
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 3: But yeah, but you're not wasting a roster spot on

259
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:40,439
Speaker 3: a holder and a punter.

260
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: Right exactly. That's what I'm saying. Though, if you get

261
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 1: into the game, he goes, he can still hold if

262
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 1: he's not punting, and you got somebody else to punt.

263
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 1: But you know, what are they gonna do? Hold emergency

264
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: punter tryouts? Would they do that once in a while,

265
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 1: But I don't know. I think that. I think the

266
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 1: emergency punter was like inspector, who's out?

267
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, and you signed Matt Hawk to the practice squad,

268
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 3: so he's sitting there, yeah, but ready in wait.

269
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 1: There's no easy way around this because it's a one

270
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 1: man position. Yes, it's a one man position and another

271
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 1: position depends solely on it. You got to have somebody

272
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: to hold for Tyler Bass, which means Matt Hawk's got

273
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 1: to do it. Now. He's done it before and it's

274
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: not but I did it for a whole season. But yeah,

275
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: can yeah that one? You know this is due or

276
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 1: do you? You can't mess that up?

277
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 3: No, And that's why I think if there's any question

278
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 3: about Martin being able to get through the game, let

279
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 3: alone punt effectively, they probably have to go with Hawk.

280
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 1: They got Sunday. Yes, Hawk and Tyler Bass should be

281
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 1: taken rep after rep after rep after rep, getting that

282
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 1: thing well oiled.

283
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 3: And as we said, you know he was Buffalo's punter

284
00:14:56,520 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty one and held for Bass the entire season,

285
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 3: So he's worked with Reid Ferguson and Tyler Bass.

286
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 1: For an entire year.

287
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 3: I think it's one of the main reasons why he's

288
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 3: even here right now, because there is that familiarity and

289
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 3: past work experience.

290
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 1: Because to your point, game's too dang important.

291
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 3: You got to have somebody that is familiar with the operation,

292
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 3: knows what the kicker likes, et cetera, et cetera. So

293
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 3: you know, I think a week is enough time to

294
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 3: kind of get back on that horse and have a

295
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 3: firm working relationship with the operation.

296
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 1: So yeah, we'll have to see.

297
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 3: The other interesting thing is Matt Hack is a lefty punter.

298
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 1: I noticed that he's a lefty punter. I did notice that.

299
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: And the ball.

300
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 3: Spins differently right for returners.

301
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's it can be tricky sometimes. Yeah, it

302
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: is tricky, and it's something that punt returners aren't used

303
00:15:54,680 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 1: to and you start getting into and it's weird. There's

304
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 1: no question it's weird. You get into a windy situation,

305
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 1: you could get some benefit out of it if the

306
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 1: guy drops or muffs a punt because it moves differently

307
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 1: than he's used to. I get all that, but you

308
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: still need somebody can boom it down there. I'll tell

309
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 1: you what is a crusher too, because you think about it.

310
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 1: Sam Martin was the Special Teams Player of the month.

311
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 1: He was he was killing it.

312
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, just dropping him inside the tent with alarming regularity,

313
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 3: flipping the field.

314
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 1: That would have been so nice.

315
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 3: So we'll see what the end result is when the

316
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 3: Friday injury report comes out. But I think if there's

317
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 3: even a shadow of a doubt as to Martin being

318
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 3: able to get through the game, I think it's probably

319
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 3: hot on Sunday punting and holding for Tyler Bass. We

320
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 3: want to remind you here on Friday, as we do

339
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,680
Speaker 3: we check in with our good friend Greg Cosell, senior

340
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:00,920
Speaker 3: producer from NFL Films and co host of ESPN's NFL

341
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 3: Matchup Show. You know, I mentioned you know how the

342
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:08,639
Speaker 3: NFL Matchup Show is good for fans that may not

343
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 3: know all the x'es and o's and the jargon and

344
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 3: all that stuff because they kind of sift it out

345
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 3: for you and explain it pretty in a pretty straightforward

346
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:17,879
Speaker 3: way on the Matchup Show.

347
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 1: I got two tweets back.

348
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 3: From fans saying, oh my gosh, thank you for pointing

349
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 3: me in the direction of the NFL Matchup Show on ESPN.

350
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,920
Speaker 1: It's unbelievable. Yeah, they're great because they.

351
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 3: Do it in a straightforward way that doesn't make you

352
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 3: feel dumb if you yeah, that don't know the exs

353
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 3: and nice intimately.

354
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 1: It's nice to have somebody explain the in a way

355
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 1: that doesn't use the jargon so much. And then these

356
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,639
Speaker 1: guys do a great job there. Yeah, well you can.

357
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,440
Speaker 1: We get a ton of attention when Greg comes on

358
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 1: on Fridays. He comes in because he's first of all,

359
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 1: he's totally middle of the road.

360
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,880
Speaker 3: Now he does he does not a big opinion guy.

361
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:58,399
Speaker 1: Yes, he's nice to the bills, and he does not

362
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:00,080
Speaker 1: going to come out and say one team of the

363
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 1: other stinks. But he is straight down the middle, says, listen,

364
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 1: you got it. You know I'm I'm interested in this

365
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 1: and that you can when he speaks, he studied it,

366
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 1: and he's dispassionate about it, you know what I mean.

367
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 1: He's not pulling for anybody to win. He's emotionless. Yes,

368
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 1: he enjoys the process, right, rather than the outcome.

369
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,440
Speaker 3: Let's go to the phones though at eight oh three

370
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,120
Speaker 3: five point fifty one eight eight eight five fifty two,

371
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 3: five point fifty and we lead off today with Jim

372
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 3: in Penfield. Way you offer us, Jim, you're on one

373
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:31,360
Speaker 3: Bill's Live.

374
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 4: How you doing, guys? Happy New Year, Chris and Steve.

375
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 5: Chris, I want to compliment you on your broadcasting skills

376
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:44,159
Speaker 5: on the radio. You are absolutely excellent. I love the

377
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 5: way you paint the picture, tell him exactly, and it's

378
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 5: so much easier to follow the game when you do

379
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:53,400
Speaker 5: that than rather than listening to listening to somebody like Nance.

380
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 4: Or Oh God, Romo. Anyway, thank you, you're excellent. You

381
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:01,400
Speaker 4: guys are really good. Number two I think people should

382
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 4: leave him alone. Continuity is what counts. Look at Pittsburgh,

383
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:07,679
Speaker 4: look at all the teams that have had coaches for

384
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 4: the last ten twelve years. They are constantly excellent, excellent, excellent.

385
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:17,159
Speaker 4: Number three Von Miller. I think he's gonna shine. I

386
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 4: think he's going to do really well this weekend. He's

387
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:22,640
Speaker 4: going to surprise that woman who's constantly looking to dump him.

388
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:26,919
Speaker 4: And Number three playoff the Stormtrooper reference. Those are the

389
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 4: bad guys in the movie. They're not the heroes. That's

390
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 4: how I got to say, guys.

391
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:35,639
Speaker 3: Take care all right, fair enough, Jim Jim bringing the

392
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 3: takes today. But he's in your boat on Von Miller.

393
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 3: He thinks something's going to happen this week.

394
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he's still got gas in the tank,

395
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:44,680
Speaker 1: and I think this is a perfect time for him

396
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 1: to do it, you know. And I'm not saying he's

397
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,400
Speaker 1: been waiting for his chance. I think he's playing hard

398
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,119
Speaker 1: and trying to get better, and I think he is.

399
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 1: He was very close last game a couple of times.

400
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 1: Couple of times. Yeah, and I think he's This Chiefs

401
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:02,119
Speaker 1: matchup might be the tonic that he needs to get

402
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:06,199
Speaker 1: him over the top. I'll say this too. It's a

403
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 1: good question, and we used to have the debate about

404
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,880
Speaker 1: what came first. Do great teams win because they love

405
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,879
Speaker 1: each other? Do they love each other because they win games?

406
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 1: A little bit of that is like this continuity thing.

407
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,400
Speaker 1: He says with Sean McDermott. Do you have continuity because

408
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 1: you're winning games? Or do you win games because you

409
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 1: have continuity? You don't get to stick around as a

410
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,120
Speaker 1: head coach unless you're winning a ton of games. Mike

411
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 1: McCarthy's winning twelve games a year, and he's getting into

412
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 1: the fourth year of his Connor fifth year of his contract,

413
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:41,399
Speaker 1: and they're sticking with him. Winning twelve games in the NFL.

414
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 1: Double digit games the NFL year after year is really tough,

415
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 1: and I think not all of them, but there's a

416
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 1: lot of owners out there who realize how difficult it

417
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 1: is to win. Those have done it for five straight seasons.

418
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:58,360
Speaker 1: That's right, And you've got to you gotta give yourself

419
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:01,239
Speaker 1: a chance to get in. And you can say what

420
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 1: you want about the early exit of the Steelers or

421
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 1: the Dolphins or the Cowboys for that matter, all these

422
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:09,679
Speaker 1: whatever team you picked that that could get there and

423
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 1: couldn't get another thing. That is a good They are

424
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 1: good football teams who want to take a shot at it.

425
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 1: And and I had this conversation on the radio and

426
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 1: in this morning in a Kansas radio station about listen,

427
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 1: you get you get into this point like where the

428
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 1: Bills are now, You're looking across there, and all you

429
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 1: see over there is either Pat Mahomes or Lamar Jackson,

430
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 1: right or Joe Burrow. I mean, you're you get good

431
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 1: at the same time other teams do. That's all you see.

432
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 1: That's why your rivalry is what it is. They got

433
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 1: good players. You got good players. You got to get

434
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 1: a chance and take a swing at it. Some teams

435
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 1: can't compete with Josh Patrick, Joe or Lamar. They can't

436
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:53,160
Speaker 1: get can't get it done, and that's why coaches lose

437
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 1: their jobs, players get cut, they trade quarterbacks, all of

438
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 1: that stuff. So I get yeah, and I agree with you.

439
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 1: They have done a masterful job here, Brandon Bean and

440
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,959
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott, of course, of putting this team on the

441
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 1: map and winning a lot of games and giving themselves

442
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 1: a swing at the championship every single year. You're not

443
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 1: always gonna do it, and who knows how this is

444
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 1: going to turn out this year, But I'm not you know,

445
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 1: I'm one of those guys I'm with I'm with Jim.

446
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 1: I'm not throwing anybody over the boat who's going to

447
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 1: the playoffs and winning a playoff game every single year.

448
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 1: The Bills are winning a game every single year.

449
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, it certainly is worth noting because there aren't

450
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 3: many teams doing that getting to the Elite eight every year.

451
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 3: The Bills are doing that the better part of the

452
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 3: last three seasons. And thanks Jim for the kind words.

453
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:49,919
Speaker 3: We appreciate it for our radio broadcast group. Try to

454

456
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 3: in Depew next. What do you got for us Eddie.

457
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 6: Hey, you guys were talking about place kicker holders, and

458
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 6: it reminded me of something. Wasn't there a time where

459
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:10,640
Speaker 6: the backup qb used to hold the Yeah, hold the ball? Yeah,

460
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 6: you're right, and just wondering why they don't, why they

461
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 6: don't do that anymore? And I had another question while

462
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:17,399
Speaker 6: I'm on the phone. I didn't mean to ask you

463
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 6: guys all season, why do receivers and dbacks wear mouthpieces

464
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 6: and let them dangle? Has this become a fashion thing?

465
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 6: Because I noticed in one game there was a I

466
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 6: don't know who it was. I think they had two

467
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:34,879
Speaker 6: different colors on even but they never put them in

468
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 6: their mouths.

469
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,120
Speaker 1: Yes, a little bit of it is fashion and all

470
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:41,639
Speaker 1: that stuff. I know this Steph Diggs, that's his dangle.

471
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:45,400
Speaker 1: He wears one and then lets another one dangle. I've

472
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 1: seen that happen. Yeah, it's yes, it is a thing

473
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:54,639
Speaker 1: like that, the backup quarterback. You're right. They used to

474
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 1: have the backup quarterbacks hold because then if they drop

475
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 1: the snap or something bad happens, we've got a quarterback

476
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 1: picking the ball up and he can throw it. That

477
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 1: was the thought behind it. A quarterbacks used to handling

478
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 1: the ball when something goes wrong. Everybody changed when the

479
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 1: kicker and the snapper got specialized and they wanted somebody

480
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,399
Speaker 1: that was available to go practice with them, like for

481
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 1: the whole for the whole practice. Backup quarterback can't do that.

482
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,399
Speaker 1: That's got to run scout team and other stuff. Backup

483
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 1: quarterbacks time is too is cut up too much time.

484
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:34,119
Speaker 1: They can't practice enough. They don't just show up and

485
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 1: do this stuff. They they go rep after rep after

486
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,479
Speaker 1: rep after rep. And the backup quarterback can't do that.

487
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 1: He's over there throwing footballs to the to the scout

488
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 1: team defense or to the to the starting defense with

489
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:48,640
Speaker 1: a scout team offense. So you know, that's that's why

490
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:50,880
Speaker 1: that changed over the years. That's first of all, that's

491
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,440
Speaker 1: why they did it. They put the backup quarterback because

492
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 1: he's not going to break a finger and then not

493
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 1: be able to do it late in the game. You mean,

494
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 1: if he's a holder, If he's a holder, and then

495
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:04,360
Speaker 1: and plus you can throw it if something bad happens.

496
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 1: But because of the practice time and the time constraints

497
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:11,640
Speaker 1: and what's expected the backup quarterback, the time won't allow

498
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,680
Speaker 1: it during the week. Yeah, I figured as much.

499
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 3: I never got that fully confirmed, but I assumed it

500
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 3: was because you needed somebody to go off with the

501
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,639
Speaker 3: with the snappers kicker for the balance of practice, and

502
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 3: a backup quarterback doesn't have the time so much more.

503
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 1: When they when the when the when the NFL rosters expanded,

504
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 1: so did responsibilities and the expertise of the specialists. You know,

505
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:39,199
Speaker 1: that's you know, all this stuff about you know, the

506
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:41,200
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame and stuff that that I go through.

507
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 1: The old timers are like going, you know, they used

508
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 1: to cover all the Hall of Famers used to the

509
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 1: old guys used to cover kicks. So they're like going,

510
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 1: what do you can go to the you know we

511
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 1: never did you know that was that was a playoff

512
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 1: for us. Well when the league, when the rosters expanded,

513
00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:59,959
Speaker 1: so did the game. And now more and more guys,

514
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 1: guys like me have a chance to contribute in a

515
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:08,240
Speaker 1: meaningful way on plays that used to be throwaways. And

516
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,200
Speaker 1: you know, some of the old timers don't like it.

517
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:13,640
Speaker 1: I get it, you know, it's not it's a different game.

518
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 1: But they, let's face it too, those guys were animals.

519
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:19,479
Speaker 1: There were thirty six guys on a roster. Well, yeah,

520
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 1: they were some of them playing both ways? Yeah, they

521
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 1: were crazy, you know they were. They had huge burdens

522
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 1: on them. And so you know, now the game's expanded,

523
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:32,920
Speaker 1: everything has become more and more specializing. Guys are better

524
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 1: and better at the smaller parts of the game. Let's

525
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:37,920
Speaker 1: go to Don in Rochester next. What's up Don?

526
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 7: Hey, guys, love your show.

527
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:41,399
Speaker 1: By the way, thanks.

528
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 7: Just wondering what's the verdict on Jordan Phillips coming back?

529
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 7: And I was wondering if people like Charnavish White and

530
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:52,679
Speaker 7: Matt Malonald do they ever come to the games and

531
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 7: are they on the sidelines at all? And it's just wondering.

532
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:59,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, So to answer the second question, first, yes, as

533
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 3: a matter of fact, I I'm Amalano on the sidelines

534
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 3: last week, so yes, they do generally attend the games.

535
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:08,919
Speaker 3: They're usually in sweats on the side a lot of

536
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:10,399
Speaker 3: times this time of year, with a hood or a

537
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:12,680
Speaker 3: hat on, so it's tough to identify him, but yes,

538
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:16,400
Speaker 3: they are there. And then regarding your first question about

539
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:20,159
Speaker 3: Jordan Phillips, coach McDermott said this week that while he

540
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:24,159
Speaker 3: has fulfilled the four game minimum on injured reserve and

541
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:26,880
Speaker 3: could come off at any time. He is not yet

542
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 3: ready to come back from risk surgery, so eligible to

543
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 3: return as soon as he's medically cleared, but medical clearance

544
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 3: hasn't happened yet, so he is not an option for

545
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 3: them in terms of bringing him back onto the active roster.

546
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 3: We have to step aside here when we come back.

565
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 3: could replay one playoff game that you've been in, which

566
00:29:59,160 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 3: one would it be?

567
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 1: And why go Bills? If I could replay, here's the thing,

568
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 1: would it be If I could change the outcome? That's

569
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 1: one thing I'd probably do. Well, let's play it that

570
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 1: way if you could. If I could change the outcome,

571
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 1: and probably be one of the Super Bowls, right, which

572
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 1: was twenty five. I don't know if I'd changed super Bowl,

573
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 1: probably the last one, the last one, Yeah, because you

574
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 1: go to three and then change out on top. Okay,

575
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 1: so then it'd be special.

576
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 3: But yeah, that a game you would replay, one that

577
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 3: you enjoyed, maybe more than any other, and you you

578
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 3: could redo it all over again.

579
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, live it again. Fifty one three is pretty fun. Yeah,

580
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 1: that's that was kind of a no brain. Yeah, that

581
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 1: was that was so fun. I mean because there was

582
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 1: a lot.

583
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 3: Because that was the first time when you guys knew.

584
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 1: You were going going to the Super Bowl. Big gift

585
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 1: for us, the players, and I think the fans too

586
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 1: here in Western New York. It was a huge gift

587
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 1: for all of us. And I'll say this too, we

588
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 1: didn't know how good we were going to be at

589
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 1: that point, right, you know, how did you know? We

590
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 1: knew we were good, but we'd lost two years before

591
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 1: that in the championship game in Cincinnati, and and then

592
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 1: to go in and just roll into the Super Bowl

593
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 1: like that, it was an absolute blast. What a place.

594
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 1: This whole region was just on fire. That was a

595
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 1: fun game to be a part of the players. I mean,

596
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 1: you got five Hall of famers, plus Kent Hull who

597
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 1: should be in the Hall of Fame, and Cornelius Bennett

598
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 1: who should be in the Hall of Fame. You got

599
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 1: just tremendous fans. We were rolling Hall of Fame head coach.

600
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 1: That was just a blast to be on that field

601
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 1: because you know, it was over at you know, far

602
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:45,480
Speaker 1: be from me, but it was over at halftime. It's

603
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 1: forty one to three at half forty one. It wasn't

604
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 1: like at the same the party started. Yeah, yeah, it

605
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 1: wasn't twenty eight to three. Like it wasn't the Super

606
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 1: Bowl for the Patriots Atlanta. It was forty one to three.

607
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 1: They got Marv goodwe the bucket. I forgot that. Yeah

608
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 1: it man, did they get him good? Like the whole thing?

609
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 1: Yeah it was. That was a fun game, and I

610
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 1: think and but the fact that also it was at

611
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 1: home against the Raiders who we had played, we had

612
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 1: played a couple of times, and we're going to play

613
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 1: subsequently after that because they stayed good as well. Oh

614
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 1: that is the whole thing down his back. Wow. Marv

615
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 1: wasn't happy about that either. He was that's funny. But

616
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 1: that was a day that was just too awesome to

617
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 1: put into words. So if I had to replay it,

618
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 1: that was one I would probably took part in. Another

619
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 1: one that was I'll say this too, the new England

620
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 1: playoff game here in Buffalo two three years ago was

621
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 1: I mean all seven seventeen was.

622
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 3: Well, she was saying, one playoff game you've been in

623
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 3: that was. I know she wouldn't mind reliving that yet

624
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 3: I think a lot of people would sign up.

625
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 1: That was a fun one. But literally cold now you

626
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 1: can but I that that fifty one to three game

627
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 1: was really special. I don't think I would want to

628
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 1: relive the comeback game too much stress. Well, it was

629
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 1: you know, spent a good fortune of the game being

630
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 1: like humh. And it was fun. It was a nice run.

631
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:22,960
Speaker 3: We had two Super Bowl Then the exhilaration coming off

632
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 3: the field.

633
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, high as a kite. Yeah, it was unbelievable feeling,

634
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 1: and it was and it really had that feel. I

635
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 1: know a lot of it. And I mentioned this earlier,

636
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 1: about maybe a month ago. We were talking about stuff

637
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 1: like this. The comeback game felt supernatural. At the very

638
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 1: end of it, it felt like you had witnessed something supernatural,

639
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 1: much like last year's playoff game against New England or No.

640
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:56,520
Speaker 1: Week eighteen game against New England when they came back

641
00:33:56,640 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 1: in Naheim, Hinz returned it opening kickoff for a touchdown

642
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 1: after DeMar had been resuscitated the week before. That felt

643
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 1: you know, other world miraculous. Other Yeah, felt transformative almost right.

644
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 1: So there were some of those things going on, and

645
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:17,120
Speaker 1: you think about some of the stuff that's happened in

646
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:20,839
Speaker 1: that stadium across the way, Yeah, some of it has

647
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:27,320
Speaker 1: been really unbelievable, really unbelievable. So I think the fifty

648
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:30,280
Speaker 1: one to three game was awesome. The comeback game was

649
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 1: was great. I don't want I don't want to replay

650
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 1: the comeback game. Even though it turned out great, it

651
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:37,879
Speaker 1: stunk for three quarters. Man.

652
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:41,280
Speaker 3: I had never seen that footage before of you literally

653
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:42,720
Speaker 3: choking out Steve Christy.

654
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 1: After all, they were hold him up on his shoulders.

655
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:46,799
Speaker 1: I reached up grabb him by, grabbed him by the

656
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:47,479
Speaker 1: back down.

657
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 3: It's the first time I've ever seen that part of

658
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:50,920
Speaker 3: that footage.

659
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 1: I was fighting to Oh my god, you like ripped

660
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:57,720
Speaker 1: him off the pile I did. It was fun. Uh, awesome,

661
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:01,919
Speaker 1: awesome moment in Bill's history. And to see Frank play

662
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:02,799
Speaker 1: the way he played in.

663
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 3: That's as fired up as I ever saw Frank at

664
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:07,239
Speaker 3: any point on the field. Yeah, he was pretty low

665
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 3: key guy, you know. Yeah, that was as animated as

666
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:14,320
Speaker 3: I have ever seen Frank Ryk on a football field

667
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 3: coming on.

668
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:16,840
Speaker 1: It was great. It was great, and I I so

669
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:20,239
Speaker 1: there's there's that's a small handful of the plays or

670
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:22,479
Speaker 1: the games. I remember. If I was going to change

671
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 1: the outcome, it would have been probably the.

672
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:27,200
Speaker 3: Fourth Super Bowl because twenty eight.

673
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:29,279
Speaker 1: Twenty eight, because then we would have been to three

674
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 1: in a row and won the fourth one. That would

675
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:32,840
Speaker 1: have been that would have been a legendary well, it

676
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:35,200
Speaker 1: already is legendary in some places, but it would have

677
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 1: been unbelievable moment. But then, if you're not going to

678
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 1: change the outcome of any of the games, it would

679
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 1: have been the fifty one to three game. That's an

680
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 1: easy one.

681
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:47,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, Emily, Well, congrats, The premium mystery box

686
00:35:57,880 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 3: But I got any question on your mind about the Bills,

687
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 3: the play offs, the league at large, you let us

688
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:07,359
Speaker 3: know and we will go next to Frank down in Woodstock.

689
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:08,240
Speaker 3: What's up, Frank?

690
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:14,239
Speaker 8: Hey, guys, great show, Love it. Steve, You're always going

691
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:19,120
Speaker 8: to be my Hall of Famer. A couple things cook

692
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:26,400
Speaker 8: the kincaid and knocks key to the game besides the defense.

693
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:30,160
Speaker 8: I am one hundred percent sure we are going to

694
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:32,800
Speaker 8: take them and they are going to see the rafts

695
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:36,480
Speaker 8: of player from the Bills mafia and get a taste

696
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:39,879
Speaker 8: of their own medicine on the road. I know it's

697
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:43,239
Speaker 8: got to be difficult to play when you have the

698
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 8: fans that the Bills have. And just one more thing,

699
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 8: can I say a shout out to my friends in Rochester,

700
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:54,920
Speaker 8: New York. I used to live there. I miss it.

701
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:59,840
Speaker 8: And that's it, guys. I'm looking forward to a great game.

702
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 8: And Steve again, you should be a Hall of Famer.

703
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:08,359
Speaker 8: I've been a Bills fan for thirty five years or more,

704
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:11,799
Speaker 8: and uh, we're gonna do it. This is our year,

705
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:16,440
Speaker 8: Oh Steve. So the guys ever go to Josh and

706
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:20,160
Speaker 8: say and have a talk with him, like, listen, we

707
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:22,239
Speaker 8: can do this. You don't have to put all this

708
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:25,480
Speaker 8: on your shoulders or you know, I don't know, some

709
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 8: kind of talk like that. And that's it. Guys. Love

710
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:32,120
Speaker 8: the show and Chris, you're pretty good yourself.

711
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:36,399
Speaker 1: Enjoy the wee said, Thanks Frank, Thanks Frank, enjoy the game.

712
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:38,839
Speaker 1: First of all, thanks for all that. Yeah you're yeah,

713
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:42,359
Speaker 1: Cook Kincaid knocks. Those guys are key, Yeah, no question,

714
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:46,879
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, yes, there are a lot of conversation going.

715
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 1: Here's the thing. It's like you're it's like you're in

716
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 1: doing something with your best bud and if something happens,

717
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:56,759
Speaker 1: you think you can help him. Or fire him up

718
00:37:56,840 --> 00:38:00,400
Speaker 1: or give him a thought process. Yes, absolutely those conversations

719
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 1: take place. They absolutely do. But you also know the

720
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 1: guy better than anybody, and you know what he knows.

721
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:07,879
Speaker 1: I mean. So there's not as much of that as

722
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:10,239
Speaker 1: you would think, because you know, as fans, we don't

723
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 1: know who Josh is. We don't play with him, we

724
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:14,920
Speaker 1: don't we don't spend time with him, we don't practice

725
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 1: every day. We're not sitting in meetings with him. Some

726
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 1: of the stuff that a lot of fans would say

727
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 1: not even wouldn't even be knowledgeable enough to be the

728
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:29,400
Speaker 1: right subject, let alone have it affect Josh. But the

729
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:32,359
Speaker 1: players who know him the best, who know the conversations

730
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 1: and the vocabulary and whatever whatever like. For instance, you know,

731
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 1: there's been time when I got a chance to play

732
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 1: a little bit wide out. There was a time when

733
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:43,200
Speaker 1: I say, listen, if thirty five comes down on me

734
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:46,880
Speaker 1: and he's got me, he can't stay with me. You know,

735
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:49,319
Speaker 1: if this guy comes down, he can't cover me, give

736
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 1: me a chance. So that kind of stuff happens. Yes,

737
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:57,120
Speaker 1: So yeah, all those conversations happen, and Josh has those

738
00:38:57,120 --> 00:39:00,160
Speaker 1: conversations with other guys too, So it works, all that

739
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 1: all that works. You're all in this. You're all down

740
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:05,800
Speaker 1: there on the sidelines and the coaches, they're all there together,

741
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:08,000
Speaker 1: and they all have info and they're all trying to

742
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:11,440
Speaker 1: help each other play their best. So yes, it is

743
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:16,400
Speaker 1: a it is an environment that is ripe for conversations

744
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:20,319
Speaker 1: that are both emotional and technical. Let's go to Mark

745
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 1: and Ken Moore next. What's up Mark?

746
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:25,279
Speaker 9: Yeah, Hi, this is the first time I've followed, and

747
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:28,600
Speaker 9: I just feel compelled to. Primarily, I guess called Steve

748
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:33,440
Speaker 9: because he's been talking about the officiating this year as

749
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:36,080
Speaker 9: being basically as good as it ever has been, and

750
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:40,000
Speaker 9: that the games are so tight that one or two

751
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:42,680
Speaker 9: calls can mean everything and if it goes against you,

752
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:44,399
Speaker 9: then you're not happy, and that type of thing.

753
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 10: But I'm just a.

754
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:50,360
Speaker 9: Little concerned or questioning Sean Hockley being the referee, given

755
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 9: some history there with Buffalo and k C and that

756
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:58,200
Speaker 9: I've read that he did the Philly game and correct.

757
00:39:57,920 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 11: That was the horse collar that.

758
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 9: Wasn't ye, and then the phantom grounding the pass and

759
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:08,399
Speaker 9: then the AJ Brown fumble that wasn't and he called

760
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:12,040
Speaker 9: eleven penalties for eighty yards against US and I guess

761
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:14,279
Speaker 9: in the last four games, he's called three hundred forty

762
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:17,080
Speaker 9: seven yards and penalties against US, which is almost eighty

763
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:20,880
Speaker 9: seven yards a game, and he's eight and two I

764
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:24,719
Speaker 9: guess in chiefs games that he's refereed. So I just

765
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:27,279
Speaker 9: was hoping and what your thoughts are whether we're going

766
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:30,239
Speaker 9: to get a neutral referee when all is said and done.

767
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:32,560
Speaker 9: That's that's all. I don't know, there's really no answer

768
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:33,760
Speaker 9: to it, but it's just a concern.

769
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it's it's interesting how and sometimes at

770
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:42,799
Speaker 1: first glance you wonder why the league is so transparent.

771
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 1: You know what, Well, here's your guy, and they give

772
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:48,279
Speaker 1: the statistics are out there and there's you know, they

773
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:50,560
Speaker 1: don't they don't hide from it. That's one of the

774
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:52,600
Speaker 1: things I've always liked about the NFL. They do not

775
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 1: hide from who they are, their imperfections and their flaws

776
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:58,319
Speaker 1: as well as their triumphs. I mean, they're the eight

777
00:40:58,440 --> 00:40:59,719
Speaker 1: hundred pound gorilla.

778
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:00,080
Speaker 8: And and.

779
00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:03,920
Speaker 1: This this officiating is one of those times where you're

780
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 1: kind of other in other leagues shy away from this

781
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 1: kind of conversation. But I'll say this, I've had it,

782
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:15,840
Speaker 1: and of course, you know, comically I'm the guy that

783
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:18,320
Speaker 1: got tossed out of his last game for for bumping

784
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 1: an official, beefing a call with an official, and I

785
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:23,800
Speaker 1: was and I itself admittedly was as bad as anybody

786
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 1: in the NFL when it came to baiting officials. I

787
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:29,759
Speaker 1: was on them all the time. I mean I was

788
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:35,560
Speaker 1: relentless and and so to have me sit here and say,

789
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:38,600
Speaker 1: during my broadcast career of a couple of decades, now

790
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:42,640
Speaker 1: I've come to know and realize how professional they are

791
00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:47,440
Speaker 1: and how they they are a special group of guys

792
00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:51,279
Speaker 1: who who view football differently than everybody else on the planet.

793
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:55,320
Speaker 1: They have their own way of evaluating and watching and

794
00:41:56,600 --> 00:42:01,520
Speaker 1: observing games, and they're very good at it. They don't

795
00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:04,480
Speaker 1: get it right all the time. There's a more so

796
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:06,320
Speaker 1: than we all of us will ever like to admit.

797
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:09,440
Speaker 1: There is a ton of gray area that they have

798
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:13,400
Speaker 1: to navigate and they only get one chance at lightning

799
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:16,960
Speaker 1: speed to get it right. Now. The league has helped them.

800
00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:19,560
Speaker 1: The league has helped them with review and all of

801
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:24,479
Speaker 1: that stuff. But I don't have any qualms about any

802
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:27,960
Speaker 1: officiating crew coming in and doing the Bills Chiefs game.

803
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:31,040
Speaker 1: They're all gonna give it their best shot. That doesn't

804
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:33,839
Speaker 1: mean they're gonna get everything right, But as long as

805
00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:35,960
Speaker 1: you know they're gonna they're gonna try their best, and

806
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:39,600
Speaker 1: they're not gonna favor either team or the other. That's

807
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:41,960
Speaker 1: all you can ask for, and that's and I'm sure

808
00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:42,959
Speaker 1: that's what we're gonna get.

809
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:46,760
Speaker 3: I just know that Bills fans are a little nervous

810
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:51,520
Speaker 3: because the past history is not good, right, and this

811
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:57,120
Speaker 3: is a crew that routinely over officiates, right.

812
00:42:57,800 --> 00:42:59,400
Speaker 1: And I don't have a problem with that because the

813
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:01,880
Speaker 1: Bills aren't one of those teams who pushed the envelope.

814
00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:03,680
Speaker 1: To me, they're not one of those time.

815
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:05,520
Speaker 3: How the hell did they get ten penalties called on

816
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:08,120
Speaker 3: them in the first half of the Eagles game. Well,

817
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:11,359
Speaker 3: I'll say, I'm just saying, yeah, it was ten to

818
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:12,280
Speaker 3: one at halftime.

819
00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:15,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they made some bad calls and they missed some.

820
00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:18,000
Speaker 1: In fact, the one that's comically bad was That's why

821
00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:21,319
Speaker 1: there was the horse collar tackle on Josh that got

822
00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:24,880
Speaker 1: called intentional grounding, and then the intentional grounding in the

823
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:27,399
Speaker 1: Cincinnati game where Josh throws at thirty five yards down

824
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:31,760
Speaker 1: the field, Gabe hooks up, it goes right almost directly

825
00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:34,359
Speaker 1: over his head. That was Alex Kemp's crew. Yeah, well

826
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:36,759
Speaker 1: see that's a different crew. So yeah, So to me

827
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:40,320
Speaker 1: and I always I always told him this, you know you,

828
00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:43,359
Speaker 1: what are you doing about this call? And he goes,

829
00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:45,319
Speaker 1: that's not my job, that's the other guy, jumb And

830
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:51,920
Speaker 1: to me, I go, forget it, you're all the same guy.

831
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:53,840
Speaker 1: I treat him like they're all the same guy. You

832
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:57,959
Speaker 1: got to make that call and you know so, yeah,

833
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:00,680
Speaker 1: I get it. It's it's out of your control. I

834
00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:03,600
Speaker 1: have full faith that. Listen, they're doing playoff games this

835
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 1: deep because they got a lot of calls, right right,

836
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 1: So take heart in that. The number trust the process,

837
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:10,840
Speaker 1: and the.

838
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:13,080
Speaker 3: Number one thing is if you're the team in that game,

839
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:15,960
Speaker 3: I've said it all the time, you've got to make

840
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:19,200
Speaker 3: your own breaks and put yourself in a position where

841
00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:23,000
Speaker 3: one bad call doesn't cost you the game. Get yourself

842
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:26,319
Speaker 3: in a position where you're so far ahead or comfortably

843
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:30,239
Speaker 3: up in a game where a bad call doesn't absolutely

844
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:32,600
Speaker 3: kill you and mean the difference between winning and losing.

845
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:34,880
Speaker 3: Because we know the reps are not going to be perfect.

846
00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:38,680
Speaker 3: They are imperfect, they're human. So with that in mind,

847
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:41,200
Speaker 3: make your own breaks. So you're in position to win

848
00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:44,600
Speaker 3: the game despite a bad call or two or three.

849
00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:45,959
Speaker 1: Got to take a break.

850
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:48,520
Speaker 3: Here back with more of your questions in the OBL

851
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:51,000
Speaker 3: Friday fan mail bag at eight h three oh five fifty.

852
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:53,040
Speaker 3: We'll catch up with more of your calls next here

853
00:44:53,080 --> 00:45:08,200
Speaker 3: on One Bill's Live. Stay tuned, all right, Welcome back

854
00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:08,920
Speaker 3: to One Bill's Live.

855
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:10,440
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you.

856
00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:12,840
Speaker 3: I don't know if you heard the call, but it

857
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:17,120
Speaker 3: went out for snow shovelers late yesterday and they are

858
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:20,760
Speaker 3: hard at work across the parking lot from us, clearing

859
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:23,200
Speaker 3: the snow out of the stadium a section at a time,

860
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:27,120
Speaker 3: and our MSGI viewers are seeing some of the live

861
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:29,600
Speaker 3: progress they've probably beside highmark stadiums.

862
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:32,040
Speaker 1: What maybe with us both sides of maybe a third

863
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:34,960
Speaker 1: of the lower bowl shoveled, right.

864
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:37,480
Speaker 3: I would say a third is a good percentage of.

865
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:41,759
Speaker 1: That piece over there. Yeah, that third, and yeah, it's

866
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:45,120
Speaker 1: going to be a very different environment than it was yeah,

867
00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:47,560
Speaker 1: weatherwise anyway.

868
00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:50,640
Speaker 3: Maybe the most important thing is it's not snowing right now,

869
00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:53,759
Speaker 3: which allows them to kind of catch up with what

870
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:56,960
Speaker 3: has fallen. That's probably the most important part. But you

871
00:45:57,040 --> 00:45:59,239
Speaker 3: kind of see these guys. It is like a conveyor

872
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:03,719
Speaker 3: belt of snow removal. It's pretty amazing. So great job

873
00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:06,880
Speaker 3: by our stadium ops crew and every one of the

874
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:10,080
Speaker 3: volunteers that has come out to help remove the snow

875
00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:12,560
Speaker 3: from the stadium. Good luck the rest of the weekend.

876
00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:15,680
Speaker 3: Let's get back to the phones though. At eighth three

877
00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:18,319
Speaker 3: five point fifty one eight eight eight five fifty two,

878
00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:20,480
Speaker 3: five fifty the number to get on board with any

879
00:46:20,520 --> 00:46:23,600
Speaker 3: question you might have about the bills, the playoffs, the

880
00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:27,319
Speaker 3: NFL at large, et cetera. We go to Andrew down

881
00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:28,400
Speaker 3: in our nation's capital.

882
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:31,920
Speaker 12: What do you got Andrew, Hi, Christian Steve, thanks so

883
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:33,920
Speaker 12: much for having me on. I want to talk a

884
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:37,040
Speaker 12: little bit about the decision to drop Leonard Fournette from

885
00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:39,560
Speaker 12: the practice squad. It's a bit of a confusing use

886
00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:41,600
Speaker 12: for me. I understand we got to make room for

887
00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:44,480
Speaker 12: a second punner with Stan Martin potentially out. Don't get

888
00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:46,960
Speaker 12: me wrong, I totally see that, but it seems strange

889
00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:48,759
Speaker 12: to need to pick a guy that we know who

890
00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:52,400
Speaker 12: can rely on if going forward we might potentially have

891
00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:56,359
Speaker 12: some injuries in the backfield. Now, I'm just surprised because

892
00:46:56,360 --> 00:46:58,759
Speaker 12: it sees that there are some pretty good alternative positions

893
00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:00,759
Speaker 12: where we might want to let people go from the

894
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:03,600
Speaker 12: practice squad. I'm thinking maybe at tight end. You know,

895
00:47:03,719 --> 00:47:06,719
Speaker 12: Sean himself has already said he doesn't necessarily have the

896
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:09,400
Speaker 12: greatest amount of trust and guys like Joel Wilson, you know,

897
00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:11,959
Speaker 12: and we've already seen that if we get an injury

898
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:15,800
Speaker 12: at tight end, that we've been able to, you know, deal.

899
00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:17,880
Speaker 13: With it, as we did with the knocks injury. And

900
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:20,440
Speaker 13: so now I'm I'm surprised to see that we're dropping

901
00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:23,200
Speaker 13: a guy like Fournette who's got you know, is a

902
00:47:23,239 --> 00:47:25,880
Speaker 13: veteran with Super Bowl experience, and he seems to be

903
00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:27,600
Speaker 13: a real leader in the locker room when you watch

904
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:31,560
Speaker 13: interviews with say Latavius Murray and James Cook, and we're

905
00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:33,440
Speaker 13: dropping him going into the playoffs when I would think

906
00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:35,440
Speaker 13: we'd want more depth at running back. So I just

907
00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:37,600
Speaker 13: want to see what your guys' thoughts are on that.

908
00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:39,840
Speaker 13: Is it because of his age compared to the younger

909
00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:42,040
Speaker 13: guys we're keeping on the practice squad, Is it because

910
00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:44,560
Speaker 13: of some contract stuff or what's your take on why

911
00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:47,160
Speaker 13: the decision to go with Fournette to drop.

912
00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:49,839
Speaker 1: One fair it's a fair question because as of now,

913
00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:52,880
Speaker 1: there is no other running back on the practice squad.

914
00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:55,560
Speaker 1: There's nobody. So if anything happens to the top three guys,

915
00:47:57,560 --> 00:47:59,680
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to maybe they'll bring him back. But

916
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:03,719
Speaker 1: there you go. That's it's a good question. And I

917
00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:06,000
Speaker 1: knew people, you know, we're gonna lose their minds over

918
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:08,279
Speaker 1: it because they all have this this idea of an

919
00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:12,840
Speaker 1: infatuation with Yeah, and I get it. The guys he

920
00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:14,680
Speaker 1: and he saw a couple of snaps this year, but

921
00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:20,120
Speaker 1: it it's due to the injuries. And there are other

922
00:48:20,239 --> 00:48:24,000
Speaker 1: names on the practice squad that you know, you'd think, well,

923
00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:27,919
Speaker 1: who else were you gonna get rid of? And that's

924
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:30,960
Speaker 1: where I can't. I can't help you because I don't

925
00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:33,480
Speaker 1: know that a guy like a defensive tackle like Andrew

926
00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:39,080
Speaker 1: Brown or Kyron Brown, a cornerback, Cameron Klein, the defensive end,

927
00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:48,840
Speaker 1: Richard Grudge, Courage, the offensive garage, Yeah, Jermaine Efetti, JaMarcus Ingram,

928
00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:53,960
Speaker 1: h Ken Jarvis you know this is a J. Kleins

929
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:58,480
Speaker 1: there too, Greg mantz uh Trey McKitty is a tight end.

930
00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:02,120
Speaker 1: I mean, you go down the list, Norman Terrell, Shavers,

931
00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:04,719
Speaker 1: Brian Thompson. All these guys are on the on the

932
00:49:04,719 --> 00:49:07,839
Speaker 1: practice squad, and most people would probably line them all

933
00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:10,200
Speaker 1: up and only what maybe Andy Isabella would be the

934
00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:13,239
Speaker 1: only guy you could pick out that was more finger

935
00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:16,200
Speaker 1: quotes famous than Leonard Fournette, or at least at the

936
00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:18,480
Speaker 1: more close to the top of the list of Bill's

937
00:49:18,520 --> 00:49:21,600
Speaker 1: you know, Bill's fans knowing who he is, so I

938
00:49:21,719 --> 00:49:26,759
Speaker 1: get it, But there's guy. I mean, I just I

939
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:28,439
Speaker 1: just got to trust those guys know what they're doing.

940
00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:33,799
Speaker 3: My suspicion too, is they don't feel threatened that any

941
00:49:33,840 --> 00:49:36,680
Speaker 3: other team is just going to up and sign Leonard Fournette.

942
00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:39,520
Speaker 3: Thirty one other teams had the opportunity to do that

943
00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:42,760
Speaker 3: every week that Leonard Fournette was on the practice squad

944
00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:48,560
Speaker 3: and it didn't happen. So my suspicion is if and

945
00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:52,760
Speaker 3: when Sam Martin is healthy enough to punt, Leonard Fournette

946
00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:57,000
Speaker 3: could be right back on the practice squad maybe. And incidentally,

947
00:49:57,080 --> 00:49:59,320
Speaker 3: Joel Wilson is no longer on the practice squad, the

948
00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:00,680
Speaker 3: undrafted rook tight end.

949
00:50:00,719 --> 00:50:01,520
Speaker 1: He was released.

950
00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:03,720
Speaker 3: They do have a tight end on the practice squad.

951
00:50:03,719 --> 00:50:09,400
Speaker 3: Trey McKitty, former Georgia alum so. But yeah, it's a

952
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:11,879
Speaker 3: good point because they have three corners, they have four

953
00:50:11,920 --> 00:50:16,880
Speaker 3: offensive linemen and two defensive linemen on their practice squad

954
00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:19,799
Speaker 3: currently and four net to your point, was the only

955
00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:20,359
Speaker 3: running back.

956
00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:21,520
Speaker 1: So I understand the question.

957
00:50:22,320 --> 00:50:24,680
Speaker 3: My suspicion is they feel pretty confident they could get

958
00:50:24,719 --> 00:50:26,960
Speaker 3: him back as soon as if and when they need him.

959
00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:30,080
Speaker 3: Gotta take a break here, but when we return, it's

960
00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:32,799
Speaker 3: our weekly visit with senior producer from NFL Films, Greg

Speaker 3: presented by col Lot of Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio.

964
00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:29,160
Speaker 1: The One Bills Live presented by Kalita Health.

965
00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:32,080
Speaker 3: Our number two on a Friday can mean only one thing.

966
00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:35,400
Speaker 3: Senior producer from NFL Films, Greg Cosell, joining us in

967
00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:38,680
Speaker 3: Greg's appearance on the show is presented by Scott Lonyard,

968
00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:42,560
Speaker 3: an official commercial site work partner of the Buffalo Bills.

969
00:51:43,160 --> 00:51:46,160
Speaker 3: How are we doing, Greg? You're ready for divisional Weekend.

970
00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:50,240
Speaker 14: I'm really excited about it, and you know, they obviously

971
00:51:50,239 --> 00:51:52,680
Speaker 14: made this game the last one intentionally, and I'm really

972
00:51:52,680 --> 00:51:53,799
Speaker 14: looking forward to this one.

973
00:51:53,920 --> 00:51:57,400
Speaker 1: Well, hopefully it'll live up to the hype that it

974
00:51:57,480 --> 00:52:00,200
Speaker 1: has given us reason to believe it will. So we'll

975
00:52:00,239 --> 00:52:03,360
Speaker 1: see this they played earlier in the year, week fourteen.

976
00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:07,120
Speaker 1: In fact, it has been fairly recently, right, So yeah,

977
00:52:07,160 --> 00:52:11,320
Speaker 1: how does that game affect your mentality about this game?

978
00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:14,799
Speaker 14: Well, you know, Steve, I think these teams know each other,

979
00:52:14,840 --> 00:52:17,200
Speaker 14: well haven't They've played quite a bit over the last

980
00:52:17,280 --> 00:52:19,960
Speaker 14: number of years. So you know, again, I don't think

981
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:23,120
Speaker 14: that there's going to be a lot of mystery involved here.

982
00:52:24,200 --> 00:52:26,160
Speaker 14: You know, obviously there's certain things on each side of

983
00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:28,400
Speaker 14: the ball that you have to be prepared for. You know,

984
00:52:28,440 --> 00:52:30,760
Speaker 14: the Bills on offense are going to have to certainly

985
00:52:30,840 --> 00:52:34,359
Speaker 14: be prepared for Steve Spagnola blitzing. I mean, he's going

986
00:52:34,400 --> 00:52:36,160
Speaker 14: to do that, and he'll probably show a couple of

987
00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:40,640
Speaker 14: pressures that aren't exactly ones they've seen, you know before.

988
00:52:40,880 --> 00:52:44,040
Speaker 14: But we're actually looking at the touchdown to James Cook now, which,

989
00:52:44,080 --> 00:52:45,640
Speaker 14: believe it or not, as a play I broke down

990
00:52:45,680 --> 00:52:48,160
Speaker 14: in this week's Matchup show because it did come against

991
00:52:48,160 --> 00:52:50,520
Speaker 14: the blitz and it was a really cool concept by

992
00:52:50,560 --> 00:52:53,200
Speaker 14: the Bills and how they got to Cook on the

993
00:52:53,239 --> 00:52:57,000
Speaker 14: eight seam throw. But you know, I think you always

994
00:52:57,040 --> 00:52:59,040
Speaker 14: have to be aware you're going to get pressured. You

995
00:52:59,080 --> 00:53:01,080
Speaker 14: have to understand that, and you're going to have to

996
00:53:01,120 --> 00:53:02,720
Speaker 14: be able to beat it when you play a Steve

997
00:53:02,719 --> 00:53:05,920
Speaker 14: Spagnola defense, you know, on the other side of the ball,

998
00:53:06,160 --> 00:53:08,160
Speaker 14: you know, and again I'm just giving broad strokes and

999
00:53:08,160 --> 00:53:10,000
Speaker 14: you guys can then ask, you know, go any direction

1000
00:53:10,080 --> 00:53:14,080
Speaker 14: you want. You know, the Bills will likely play, which

1001
00:53:14,120 --> 00:53:16,400
Speaker 14: they normally do, a lot of man excuse me, z

1002
00:53:16,400 --> 00:53:19,640
Speaker 14: own coverage, and you're going to have to be really disciplined,

1003
00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:22,920
Speaker 14: play really smart with your eyes. Mahomes knows how to

1004
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:25,879
Speaker 14: move people, he knows how to move around and keep

1005
00:53:25,880 --> 00:53:28,200
Speaker 14: his eyes down field. So you have to play with

1006
00:53:28,239 --> 00:53:31,440
Speaker 14: great discipline. So you know, there's certain things that have

1007
00:53:31,480 --> 00:53:34,200
Speaker 14: to happen in this game in order for you know,

1008
00:53:34,239 --> 00:53:36,680
Speaker 14: on both sides, but obviously for the Bills to win,

1009
00:53:36,719 --> 00:53:38,160
Speaker 14: there's certain things that have to happen.

1010
00:53:38,840 --> 00:53:39,080
Speaker 1: Right.

1011
00:53:39,400 --> 00:53:41,560
Speaker 3: I want to begin with with one of the biggest

1012
00:53:41,640 --> 00:53:45,160
Speaker 3: changes in this matchup, which is the venue. And we

1013
00:53:45,239 --> 00:53:49,040
Speaker 3: know that the offensive tackles for the Chiefs have had

1014
00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:53,160
Speaker 3: their share of problems this season, particularly Jawan Taylor had

1015
00:53:53,200 --> 00:53:57,160
Speaker 3: two more penalties last week at home, and now he's

1016
00:53:57,160 --> 00:53:59,760
Speaker 3: going to be operating with silent count. So my question

1017
00:53:59,800 --> 00:54:03,920
Speaker 3: to you is, are there ways in which Sean McDermott

1018
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:08,160
Speaker 3: can scheme things up to ensure he gets one on

1019
00:54:08,160 --> 00:54:10,399
Speaker 3: one matchups on the edges because I think they can

1020
00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:10,879
Speaker 3: win there.

1021
00:54:12,280 --> 00:54:15,640
Speaker 14: Yes, and there's also things they can do, not only

1022
00:54:15,680 --> 00:54:18,920
Speaker 14: one on one matchups, Brownie, but with their fronts show

1023
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:22,440
Speaker 14: what look like stunts might be part of it as well,

1024
00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:27,120
Speaker 14: because the way offensive tackles are taught to deal with

1025
00:54:27,200 --> 00:54:31,040
Speaker 14: stunts is they stay inside for an extra step because

1026
00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:33,440
Speaker 14: it looks like it might be a stunt. So with

1027
00:54:33,520 --> 00:54:36,480
Speaker 14: the use of your fronts where you line people up,

1028
00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:40,560
Speaker 14: you can create problems for offensive tackles for sure. And

1029
00:54:40,800 --> 00:54:43,520
Speaker 14: even Donovan Smith, who was back last week at left tackle,

1030
00:54:43,680 --> 00:54:46,640
Speaker 14: he has struggled as well, Brownie, So you know this

1031
00:54:47,400 --> 00:54:49,600
Speaker 14: has to be an advantage for the Bills. They have

1032
00:54:49,719 --> 00:54:52,000
Speaker 14: to be able to Again we're not talking about getting

1033
00:54:52,080 --> 00:54:54,640
Speaker 14: nine sacks. We know that's not going to happen, but

1034
00:54:54,680 --> 00:54:57,359
Speaker 14: they have to be able to speed up Mahomes. They

1035
00:54:57,400 --> 00:54:59,759
Speaker 14: have to be able to win those matchups. And then

1036
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:02,520
Speaker 14: obviously we know Mahomes can move and make plays, so

1037
00:55:02,560 --> 00:55:04,640
Speaker 14: then you have to be able to respond to that.

1038
00:55:05,600 --> 00:55:07,200
Speaker 1: One of the things that has come out of this

1039
00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:10,120
Speaker 1: is that the Chiefs offensive tackles, I'm sorry, they got

1040
00:55:10,120 --> 00:55:12,080
Speaker 1: one tackle and I can't remember his name. The right

1041
00:55:12,120 --> 00:55:15,640
Speaker 1: tackle has been penalized. Juon Taylor. Jawan Taylor's been Yeah,

1042
00:55:15,760 --> 00:55:17,520
Speaker 1: I mean the penalties have been you know, he's the

1043
00:55:17,560 --> 00:55:21,120
Speaker 1: most penalized player in the league. Yes, so, and being

1044
00:55:21,200 --> 00:55:24,240
Speaker 1: on the road if I mean, certainly, as we've seen,

1045
00:55:24,640 --> 00:55:26,719
Speaker 1: offensive tackles like to back up a little bit off

1046
00:55:26,760 --> 00:55:28,560
Speaker 1: the lineup a little bit off the line of scrimmage

1047
00:55:28,600 --> 00:55:30,360
Speaker 1: and push it and push it and push it and

1048
00:55:30,440 --> 00:55:32,960
Speaker 1: then you know, but also when they can't hear the

1049
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:35,400
Speaker 1: snap count because of the crowd, which is this is

1050
00:55:35,440 --> 00:55:37,799
Speaker 1: going to be a new experience for the Chiefs in

1051
00:55:37,840 --> 00:55:41,000
Speaker 1: the in the Mahomes area, the road playoff game. I mean,

1052
00:55:41,040 --> 00:55:43,920
Speaker 1: it's it does make a difference over the course of

1053
00:55:44,040 --> 00:55:46,480
Speaker 1: four quarters, right, yeah, you.

1054
00:55:46,480 --> 00:55:49,000
Speaker 14: Would think it would, you know, to me, one of

1055
00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:51,840
Speaker 14: the big questions in this game. And I'm not suggesting

1056
00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:53,560
Speaker 14: they're not going to put the ball in Mahomes hands.

1057
00:55:53,560 --> 00:55:56,840
Speaker 14: Obviously he's a great player, but they certainly have become

1058
00:55:56,920 --> 00:55:59,600
Speaker 14: quote unquote more balanced over the last month or so,

1059
00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:03,440
Speaker 14: you know, with Pacheco, and they've run the ball with

1060
00:56:03,520 --> 00:56:08,240
Speaker 14: some volume and with production. So you know, that's again

1061
00:56:08,320 --> 00:56:10,200
Speaker 14: we don't know how they're going to come out and

1062
00:56:10,239 --> 00:56:13,160
Speaker 14: play in this particular game, but you know that has

1063
00:56:13,239 --> 00:56:16,120
Speaker 14: certainly been an added dimension that we never thought a

1064
00:56:16,160 --> 00:56:19,600
Speaker 14: whole lot about prior that they're really a running football team.

1065
00:56:19,600 --> 00:56:22,560
Speaker 14: But Pacheco has had over twenty carries you know, at

1066
00:56:22,600 --> 00:56:25,400
Speaker 14: times in recent games, and he's a tough back. You

1067
00:56:25,480 --> 00:56:28,120
Speaker 14: got you got to get a lot of bodies to Pacheco.

1068
00:56:28,520 --> 00:56:31,760
Speaker 3: Right, And he did not play in the previous matchup

1069
00:56:31,800 --> 00:56:36,040
Speaker 3: between that is correct and Chiefs. So I don't know

1070
00:56:36,360 --> 00:56:38,719
Speaker 3: what to make of that, because they have leaned on

1071
00:56:38,840 --> 00:56:42,759
Speaker 3: him Healy heavily because of the disconnect that they've experienced

1072
00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:46,279
Speaker 3: in their passing game. Correct, so they've relied on him

1073
00:56:46,400 --> 00:56:50,040
Speaker 3: a lot more than we've seen Andy Reid offenses lean

1074
00:56:50,120 --> 00:56:56,200
Speaker 3: on backs in the recent past. How would you characterize

1075
00:56:57,000 --> 00:57:00,640
Speaker 3: the run plays in which they use him most frequently?

1076
00:57:00,719 --> 00:57:03,400
Speaker 3: Is it mostly between the tackle stuff or do they

1077
00:57:03,440 --> 00:57:05,920
Speaker 3: run some other run concepts with him?

1078
00:57:06,320 --> 00:57:07,200
Speaker 1: As Breton buck.

1079
00:57:07,080 --> 00:57:09,759
Speaker 14: He's mostly an inside runner, Brownie, I would say that

1080
00:57:10,880 --> 00:57:13,200
Speaker 14: to me and again, I don't know how they see

1081
00:57:13,200 --> 00:57:17,320
Speaker 14: it versus this particular defense. We know that the Bills

1082
00:57:17,360 --> 00:57:20,640
Speaker 14: are predominantly what we call an over front, which means

1083
00:57:20,640 --> 00:57:24,280
Speaker 14: they line up their defensive front to the strength of

1084
00:57:24,320 --> 00:57:27,520
Speaker 14: the offense to the tight end side. But they've been

1085
00:57:28,040 --> 00:57:30,560
Speaker 14: they like to run gap scheme with Pacheco, where they

1086
00:57:30,560 --> 00:57:34,080
Speaker 14: pull a guard because he's a downhill north south runner.

1087
00:57:34,240 --> 00:57:37,160
Speaker 14: He's not necessarily a guy that sort of picks his

1088
00:57:37,240 --> 00:57:39,680
Speaker 14: way and figures it out. That doesn't mean they never

1089
00:57:39,760 --> 00:57:42,560
Speaker 14: run zone, but you know, gap scheme is a little different.

1090
00:57:42,560 --> 00:57:44,640
Speaker 14: When you get that pulling guard, you can sort of

1091
00:57:44,680 --> 00:57:47,280
Speaker 14: follow him into the hole, and he hits that hole,

1092
00:57:47,520 --> 00:57:49,520
Speaker 14: and he's an angry runner. When he gets to the

1093
00:57:49,520 --> 00:57:52,960
Speaker 14: second and third level. He runs really really hard, and

1094
00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:55,479
Speaker 14: he's the kind of back that if it's blocked for five,

1095
00:57:55,560 --> 00:57:58,520
Speaker 14: he can get nine or ten. So gap scheme to me,

1096
00:57:58,840 --> 00:58:02,480
Speaker 14: is more the kind of run that he runs well

1097
00:58:02,680 --> 00:58:04,840
Speaker 14: and that they rely on with him well.

1098
00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:07,880
Speaker 1: And you're right, Pacheco is a something that's gonna be

1099
00:58:07,920 --> 00:58:10,560
Speaker 1: a kind of a wild card in this game because

1100
00:58:10,560 --> 00:58:12,160
Speaker 1: he didn't play in the first one and he's a

1101
00:58:12,160 --> 00:58:14,600
Speaker 1: difference maker for them. But they're just still gonna throw

1102
00:58:14,640 --> 00:58:18,040
Speaker 1: the football more probably than they run it. Give us

1103
00:58:18,040 --> 00:58:21,480
Speaker 1: an idea of where this sits. I mean, Kelsey had

1104
00:58:21,480 --> 00:58:24,160
Speaker 1: a couple of really prominent drops early in the game

1105
00:58:24,280 --> 00:58:31,080
Speaker 1: last week. And Rice has been really their only dependable

1106
00:58:31,120 --> 00:58:35,080
Speaker 1: wide receiver the rookie, although you know more, I don't know.

1107
00:58:35,280 --> 00:58:37,680
Speaker 1: I just it feels to me like Rice should be

1108
00:58:37,680 --> 00:58:39,360
Speaker 1: getting more targets and he's not.

1109
00:58:40,240 --> 00:58:42,720
Speaker 14: Yeah, he's And you're right about that, Steve, that he's

1110
00:58:42,720 --> 00:58:45,800
Speaker 14: the become the he's become their number one receiver, and

1111
00:58:45,800 --> 00:58:47,840
Speaker 14: and he's got good traits. I mean I did him

1112
00:58:47,840 --> 00:58:50,080
Speaker 14: coming out of college, and again I don't I often

1113
00:58:50,120 --> 00:58:52,320
Speaker 14: don't get caught up in number one number two unless

1114
00:58:52,320 --> 00:58:55,880
Speaker 14: the guy is truly special, you know. But but Rice has,

1115
00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:58,560
Speaker 14: he's got good size, he moves well, he's a little

1116
00:58:58,600 --> 00:59:01,880
Speaker 14: quicker than I think he think. He's starting to show

1117
00:59:01,920 --> 00:59:04,640
Speaker 14: a really good feel versus his own coverage as to

1118
00:59:04,880 --> 00:59:07,040
Speaker 14: how to uncover the play we're just looking at. Was

1119
00:59:07,080 --> 00:59:10,320
Speaker 14: a great example of that. So you know, he's a

1120
00:59:10,440 --> 00:59:14,240
Speaker 14: really he's become a really solid receiver. Now, last week

1121
00:59:14,280 --> 00:59:17,280
Speaker 14: the game was a little different because Vic Fangio decided

1122
00:59:17,320 --> 00:59:20,360
Speaker 14: to go really heavy with zero pressure, and I think

1123
00:59:20,440 --> 00:59:23,320
Speaker 14: they were probably in the twelve to fifteen play range

1124
00:59:23,400 --> 00:59:25,520
Speaker 14: of zero pressures, which is not going to happen. Of

1125
00:59:25,520 --> 00:59:29,160
Speaker 14: course with the Bills and Mahomes played I thought mentally

1126
00:59:29,240 --> 00:59:33,520
Speaker 14: and physically and unbelievably good game, given that they probably

1127
00:59:33,560 --> 00:59:36,440
Speaker 14: got things they did not expect as they prepared for

1128
00:59:36,520 --> 00:59:39,560
Speaker 14: that game. But Rice has kind to become his number

1129
00:59:39,560 --> 00:59:43,000
Speaker 14: one guy. Obviously Kelsey is always that guy to some extent,

1130
00:59:43,320 --> 00:59:45,560
Speaker 14: but they're there are two receivers that I think you

1131
00:59:45,640 --> 00:59:47,360
Speaker 14: have to be most concerned about.

1132
00:59:48,280 --> 00:59:51,160
Speaker 3: And then for the Chiefs defense, you know, James Cook

1133
00:59:51,240 --> 00:59:53,000
Speaker 3: kind of had his way with them the last time.

1134
00:59:53,040 --> 00:59:55,200
Speaker 3: He was not only their leading rusher, he was Buffalo's

1135
00:59:55,280 --> 01:00:00,840
Speaker 3: leading receiver. It's almost as if Spagnolo under estimated him

1136
01:00:00,880 --> 01:00:02,200
Speaker 3: to a certain extent.

1137
01:00:02,280 --> 01:00:03,360
Speaker 1: And never adjusted.

1138
01:00:03,800 --> 01:00:08,120
Speaker 3: How do you think Spagnola adjusts and tries to account

1139
01:00:08,120 --> 01:00:11,120
Speaker 3: for him and maybe make him more of a priority.

1140
01:00:12,360 --> 01:00:15,080
Speaker 14: Yeah, I don't know if that was the case, Brownie.

1141
01:00:15,120 --> 01:00:18,520
Speaker 14: I mean the touchdown he caught was a really brilliantly

1142
01:00:18,600 --> 01:00:22,440
Speaker 14: designed play, and they blitzed and they caught them. You know,

1143
01:00:22,480 --> 01:00:25,520
Speaker 14: they went well, we call four strong with Sherfield's motion

1144
01:00:25,600 --> 01:00:30,040
Speaker 14: across the formation and the safety reacted to Shurfield and

1145
01:00:30,080 --> 01:00:32,720
Speaker 14: they ended up catching them, and they ran a great route,

1146
01:00:33,120 --> 01:00:35,680
Speaker 14: a great route combination, and Cook gran what we call

1147
01:00:35,760 --> 01:00:38,120
Speaker 14: eight seam. The other play in which he caught a

1148
01:00:38,680 --> 01:00:41,440
Speaker 14: vertical route was a wheel if I'm not mistaken, and

1149
01:00:41,520 --> 01:00:44,520
Speaker 14: I think Gay busted the coverage, So I don't know

1150
01:00:44,560 --> 01:00:47,160
Speaker 14: if it's a question of underestimating Cook. I think it

1151
01:00:47,200 --> 01:00:50,520
Speaker 14: was a busted coverage. But they'll be absolutely aware of him.

1152
01:00:50,680 --> 01:00:54,000
Speaker 14: I mean, look, he's gotten down the field. Unfortunately, he's

1153
01:00:54,000 --> 01:00:56,640
Speaker 14: had a couple of drops, but he can get down

1154
01:00:56,760 --> 01:00:59,440
Speaker 14: the field as a receiver and they will have to

1155
01:00:59,480 --> 01:01:02,800
Speaker 14: definitely deal with that. The question is how much pressure

1156
01:01:02,840 --> 01:01:06,000
Speaker 14: will they try to put on the Bill's offense. Will

1157
01:01:06,040 --> 01:01:08,800
Speaker 14: it be a big pressure game? We know that Spags

1158
01:01:08,920 --> 01:01:11,760
Speaker 14: likes to do that. Will he do that in this game?

1159
01:01:12,600 --> 01:01:15,600
Speaker 14: You know, I think the Bills offense is it's become

1160
01:01:15,600 --> 01:01:18,040
Speaker 14: a little more efficient, a lot of quicker throws, a

1161
01:01:18,080 --> 01:01:20,920
Speaker 14: lot of more sustaining type throws. You know, if you

1162
01:01:21,000 --> 01:01:23,640
Speaker 14: feel that that's going to be more a foundation, those

1163
01:01:23,680 --> 01:01:26,040
Speaker 14: are the kinds of throws you don't blitz because you're

1164
01:01:26,080 --> 01:01:28,000
Speaker 14: not going to get there and then you're just wasting

1165
01:01:28,040 --> 01:01:29,560
Speaker 14: a player right.

1166
01:01:29,400 --> 01:01:32,160
Speaker 1: So give us an idea now, because we've we've had

1167
01:01:32,200 --> 01:01:34,200
Speaker 1: you on every week and we've talked about the Bills

1168
01:01:34,200 --> 01:01:36,320
Speaker 1: offense and how it's evolved. Joe Brady now called on

1169
01:01:36,400 --> 01:01:40,360
Speaker 1: the plays and it's become to the casual fan is

1170
01:01:40,360 --> 01:01:44,240
Speaker 1: spread it out more, Khalisha Kiir's catching balls, Kinka's catching balls.

1171
01:01:44,600 --> 01:01:46,959
Speaker 1: Diggs is still getting his share targets, Knox is getting

1172
01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:49,800
Speaker 1: them now Cook is involved. How you know, how does

1173
01:01:49,880 --> 01:01:54,120
Speaker 1: this offense now stack up or you know, what's its

1174
01:01:54,160 --> 01:01:57,280
Speaker 1: personality now compared to where it was maybe at the

1175
01:01:57,280 --> 01:01:59,040
Speaker 1: beginning of the year, what we've seen in the past,

1176
01:01:59,080 --> 01:02:00,960
Speaker 1: and and how does that match up with you know,

1177
01:02:01,240 --> 01:02:03,040
Speaker 1: what are the Chiefs going to look at when they

1178
01:02:03,160 --> 01:02:03,680
Speaker 1: when they see this?

1179
01:02:05,880 --> 01:02:08,560
Speaker 14: I'll answer that backwards. One thing that's Bags is a

1180
01:02:08,560 --> 01:02:11,240
Speaker 14: big believer in is press. He does not like to

1181
01:02:11,240 --> 01:02:13,880
Speaker 14: give receivers free access off the ball. I mean just

1182
01:02:14,320 --> 01:02:16,240
Speaker 14: not a believer in that. So you might have to

1183
01:02:16,240 --> 01:02:18,280
Speaker 14: see some more motion in this game to try to

1184
01:02:18,320 --> 01:02:20,840
Speaker 14: get free access off the ball. But then speaking about

1185
01:02:20,840 --> 01:02:23,439
Speaker 14: the Bills pass game, I think one of the things

1186
01:02:23,440 --> 01:02:26,360
Speaker 14: they've really done, and it's it's to help Josh because

1187
01:02:26,600 --> 01:02:29,480
Speaker 14: you know, I think Josh when he plays efficiently, Boy

1188
01:02:29,560 --> 01:02:32,320
Speaker 14: is it tough to defend. There's been a lot more

1189
01:02:32,400 --> 01:02:35,560
Speaker 14: quicker game throws. The ball's getting out, you know, they're

1190
01:02:35,600 --> 01:02:37,919
Speaker 14: taking on first down if it's a seven yard game,

1191
01:02:37,920 --> 01:02:40,360
Speaker 14: they're more than happy with that. You know, they might

1192
01:02:40,400 --> 01:02:42,959
Speaker 14: take a shot every once in a while, but they're

1193
01:02:43,000 --> 01:02:45,840
Speaker 14: not really pushing the ball down the field the way

1194
01:02:45,880 --> 01:02:47,960
Speaker 14: they used to. So you know, every once in a

1195
01:02:48,000 --> 01:02:51,400
Speaker 14: while they will. I mean, obviously when they get a coverage,

1196
01:02:51,400 --> 01:02:53,600
Speaker 14: they feel that, hey, we're going to get this coverage.

1197
01:02:53,680 --> 01:02:56,720
Speaker 14: The touchdown to Kincaid this past week was a perfect

1198
01:02:56,760 --> 01:03:00,280
Speaker 14: example of that. I guarantee that was a game plan

1199
01:03:00,400 --> 01:03:03,440
Speaker 14: to play call that they felt pretty confident they were

1200
01:03:03,440 --> 01:03:06,240
Speaker 14: going to get that coverage in that situation because that

1201
01:03:06,320 --> 01:03:09,960
Speaker 14: was after a turnover, if I'm not mistaken. So as

1202
01:03:09,960 --> 01:03:11,800
Speaker 14: we're looking at the play, because there was a cover

1203
01:03:11,880 --> 01:03:14,640
Speaker 14: two play and it was a seam ball, and then

1204
01:03:14,680 --> 01:03:17,760
Speaker 14: that's how you attack middle open coverage. But I think

1205
01:03:17,800 --> 01:03:20,400
Speaker 14: everything has been quicker. You know, they want Josh to

1206
01:03:20,400 --> 01:03:22,680
Speaker 14: be rhythmic. They don't want him sitting in the pocket

1207
01:03:22,760 --> 01:03:25,320
Speaker 14: or fleeing out of the pocket for no reason. So

1208
01:03:25,440 --> 01:03:27,360
Speaker 14: the ball is getting out of his hand. I think

1209
01:03:27,360 --> 01:03:30,120
Speaker 14: that's one reason why Kincaid such a big factor, why

1210
01:03:30,120 --> 01:03:32,520
Speaker 14: Shakir has become more of a factor. And I think

1211
01:03:32,520 --> 01:03:34,960
Speaker 14: that's a good way to go. It gets him comfortable,

1212
01:03:35,080 --> 01:03:38,120
Speaker 14: it gets him into the game. All quarterbacks won early.

1213
01:03:38,320 --> 01:03:41,040
Speaker 14: And I've talked to quarterbacks about this are completions. They

1214
01:03:41,120 --> 01:03:44,320
Speaker 14: want to feel like, Hey, I'm out here, I'm completing balls.

1215
01:03:44,320 --> 01:03:46,360
Speaker 14: We're moving the ball right.

1216
01:03:46,960 --> 01:03:47,240
Speaker 1: We know.

1217
01:03:47,520 --> 01:03:51,680
Speaker 3: And we've talked to you about Buffalo's dime package defensively, Yeah,

1218
01:03:51,680 --> 01:03:54,200
Speaker 3: and you know, we kind of have a pretty good

1219
01:03:54,240 --> 01:03:58,320
Speaker 3: grasp on that. The Chiefs use dime at the fourth

1220
01:03:58,400 --> 01:04:00,800
Speaker 3: highest rate in the league, I mean even more than

1221
01:04:01,320 --> 01:04:04,640
Speaker 3: even more than the Bills do. And they have guys

1222
01:04:04,760 --> 01:04:07,280
Speaker 3: that can line up at a number of different spots,

1223
01:04:07,280 --> 01:04:11,000
Speaker 3: whether it's justin Reid or they're you know, subpackaged guy

1224
01:04:11,080 --> 01:04:14,400
Speaker 3: Shamari Connor who will come in. So you combine this

1225
01:04:14,600 --> 01:04:17,840
Speaker 3: dime package with two elite cover guys in Lagarius, Snead

1226
01:04:17,880 --> 01:04:22,280
Speaker 3: and McDuffie. Where and how do they use that most often?

1227
01:04:22,320 --> 01:04:22,640
Speaker 1: Against?

1228
01:04:22,680 --> 01:04:27,200
Speaker 3: What type of teams? And I'm assuming mostly on third down?

1229
01:04:28,640 --> 01:04:31,960
Speaker 14: Yeah, not mostly, not always, I mean, or not only

1230
01:04:32,000 --> 01:04:33,720
Speaker 14: I should say not only. Yes, they do it on

1231
01:04:33,800 --> 01:04:36,880
Speaker 14: third down. Now, keep one thing in mind. When they

1232
01:04:36,920 --> 01:04:40,280
Speaker 14: go dime and even when they go nickel, McDuffie comes inside,

1233
01:04:40,480 --> 01:04:43,680
Speaker 14: and it's normally Watson who goes outside, and you can

1234
01:04:43,720 --> 01:04:46,880
Speaker 14: attack Watson. If you remember last year when they played

1235
01:04:46,880 --> 01:04:49,400
Speaker 14: in Kansas City and the game that the Chiefs won,

1236
01:04:49,440 --> 01:04:51,200
Speaker 14: I believe last year's game was the game they won

1237
01:04:51,240 --> 01:04:53,480
Speaker 14: with Knox catch late in the game, if memory serves

1238
01:04:53,520 --> 01:04:56,040
Speaker 14: me correctly, and then the interception by Johnson right at

1239
01:04:56,040 --> 01:04:57,600
Speaker 14: the end of the game. Wasn't that last year?

1240
01:04:57,680 --> 01:04:58,560
Speaker 1: Yeah? That was Week six?

1241
01:04:58,680 --> 01:05:01,640
Speaker 14: Yep, Yeah, that was last year. But they threw two

1242
01:05:02,080 --> 01:05:05,480
Speaker 14: vertical touchdowns in that game, one to Diggs, one to Davis,

1243
01:05:05,560 --> 01:05:08,880
Speaker 14: and I'm almost sure both game against Watson. Watson is

1244
01:05:08,920 --> 01:05:12,120
Speaker 14: the corner you can go after, and you know, I

1245
01:05:12,160 --> 01:05:14,520
Speaker 14: think they will go after him, So we'll see how

1246
01:05:14,520 --> 01:05:16,880
Speaker 14: that plays out. But yeah, when they go to their

1247
01:05:16,920 --> 01:05:20,680
Speaker 14: sub package, mcduffee moves inside into the slot. So it

1248
01:05:20,800 --> 01:05:23,840
Speaker 14: used to be Snead. Snead now stays outside. And Sneid

1249
01:05:23,920 --> 01:05:27,560
Speaker 14: is a really good corner. He's very physical, he's very competitive,

1250
01:05:27,800 --> 01:05:29,320
Speaker 14: he's a tough guy to go against.

1251
01:05:30,280 --> 01:05:32,720
Speaker 1: So what do you think this is? This these two

1252
01:05:32,720 --> 01:05:40,360
Speaker 1: teams take the field. You've got Steve Spagnolo, Sean McDermott.

1253
01:05:40,600 --> 01:05:43,640
Speaker 1: This defense for the Chiefs has become and we didn't

1254
01:05:43,640 --> 01:05:45,200
Speaker 1: think I didn't think it was gonna be possible while

1255
01:05:45,200 --> 01:05:47,840
Speaker 1: and Pat Mahomes was taking snaps. But Steve Spagnola's got

1256
01:05:47,880 --> 01:05:51,520
Speaker 1: the Chiefs defense really is the anchor of the club

1257
01:05:51,640 --> 01:05:54,240
Speaker 1: right now. Now, question, they are the They are the

1258
01:05:54,440 --> 01:05:57,720
Speaker 1: engine that makes it go. And we've seen it with

1259
01:05:57,760 --> 01:06:02,600
Speaker 1: other places where in Green Bay Aaron Rodgers was a

1260
01:06:02,640 --> 01:06:08,120
Speaker 1: superstar quarterback, four time MVP, and they the organization got

1261
01:06:08,160 --> 01:06:10,520
Speaker 1: crushed for not giving him more and more weapons and

1262
01:06:10,560 --> 01:06:13,040
Speaker 1: more and more weapons. Well, what happened was the club

1263
01:06:13,480 --> 01:06:15,520
Speaker 1: just said, hey, we got this MVP. He's gonna make

1264
01:06:15,560 --> 01:06:19,080
Speaker 1: everybody else, all these mediocre guys better. Let's get a defense.

1265
01:06:20,040 --> 01:06:22,000
Speaker 1: Is that where the Chiefs are.

1266
01:06:25,280 --> 01:06:27,240
Speaker 14: Well, as I'm just looking at this tape, it was Williams,

1267
01:06:27,280 --> 01:06:30,000
Speaker 14: who also plays corner, who they went after on those

1268
01:06:30,040 --> 01:06:32,800
Speaker 14: two touchdowns last year. He's kind of the backup to Watson.

1269
01:06:32,840 --> 01:06:36,120
Speaker 14: But this team this year has been mostly built on

1270
01:06:36,440 --> 01:06:39,240
Speaker 14: the play of their defense. They've not had a great

1271
01:06:39,240 --> 01:06:41,600
Speaker 14: offensive year relative to what they've done in the past.

1272
01:06:42,000 --> 01:06:46,240
Speaker 14: They've got It's a really good combination guys of quality,

1273
01:06:46,360 --> 01:06:50,880
Speaker 14: quality players at all three levels, and scheme Spags is

1274
01:06:50,960 --> 01:06:54,120
Speaker 14: really really good. You know, their blitz packages are really

1275
01:06:54,160 --> 01:06:58,160
Speaker 14: difficult to figure out. He's really good with late coverage rotation.

1276
01:06:58,960 --> 01:07:01,360
Speaker 14: They have players who can win one on one as

1277
01:07:01,400 --> 01:07:03,680
Speaker 14: pass rushers. You're looking at one of them right now

1278
01:07:03,680 --> 01:07:07,280
Speaker 14: in Chris Jones, but he's not the only one. So

1279
01:07:07,720 --> 01:07:10,320
Speaker 14: you know, this is a difficult defense to play against,

1280
01:07:10,520 --> 01:07:13,200
Speaker 14: and it's a difficult defense to play against on third down.

1281
01:07:13,760 --> 01:07:16,640
Speaker 14: So you know this is not Look, they won the

1282
01:07:16,640 --> 01:07:19,080
Speaker 14: game obviously at Arrowhead, but it was not a high

1283
01:07:19,120 --> 01:07:23,080
Speaker 14: scoring game. Wasn't it twenty one to seventeen? I believe seventeen? Yeah,

1284
01:07:23,200 --> 01:07:25,400
Speaker 14: twenty seven? Yeah, So it was not a high scoring game,

1285
01:07:26,520 --> 01:07:30,040
Speaker 14: you know, So you know this is not Again, you

1286
01:07:30,160 --> 01:07:32,960
Speaker 14: never can protict turnovers or special teams plays, so I

1287
01:07:32,960 --> 01:07:35,120
Speaker 14: don't want to go there. But I think in just

1288
01:07:35,160 --> 01:07:38,080
Speaker 14: the normal course of this game, I would doubt this

1289
01:07:38,160 --> 01:07:39,840
Speaker 14: is going to be a thirty eight thirty five game.

1290
01:07:40,040 --> 01:07:43,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm I'm kind of thinking low twenties here. Yeah.

1291
01:07:43,400 --> 01:07:47,240
Speaker 3: With respect to the red zone, Greg, it's been a

1292
01:07:47,280 --> 01:07:50,880
Speaker 3: problem for the Chiefs offense. I mean They're five for

1293
01:07:50,960 --> 01:07:53,640
Speaker 3: their last fourteen trips in the red zone, two of

1294
01:07:53,720 --> 01:07:58,360
Speaker 3: six last week against a completely injury riddle Dolphins defense.

1295
01:07:59,160 --> 01:08:00,880
Speaker 3: What's going on there from what you've been able to

1296
01:08:00,880 --> 01:08:01,240
Speaker 3: see on.

1297
01:08:01,240 --> 01:08:05,200
Speaker 14: Team, Yeah, you know, normally they have some really cool plays, Brownie,

1298
01:08:05,240 --> 01:08:07,240
Speaker 14: and we just haven't seen those. And I don't know

1299
01:08:07,280 --> 01:08:11,480
Speaker 14: why those you know, those are play calls. But you know,

1300
01:08:12,160 --> 01:08:14,880
Speaker 14: in an odd way, Kelsey has really not been a

1301
01:08:14,920 --> 01:08:17,920
Speaker 14: factor over a good stretch of the last part of

1302
01:08:17,920 --> 01:08:20,920
Speaker 14: this season. And normally in the red zone he has

1303
01:08:21,000 --> 01:08:23,800
Speaker 14: been a killer, both in how they scheme him and

1304
01:08:23,920 --> 01:08:27,120
Speaker 14: winning one on one matchups, and that has not been

1305
01:08:27,160 --> 01:08:29,880
Speaker 14: the case. And I don't have a brilliant answer for that,

1306
01:08:30,040 --> 01:08:32,639
Speaker 14: but I just remember, over these past number of years,

1307
01:08:32,640 --> 01:08:34,720
Speaker 14: and I'm sure you do as well, it seemed like

1308
01:08:34,800 --> 01:08:38,200
Speaker 14: Kelsey was catching red zone touchdowns every single week and

1309
01:08:38,680 --> 01:08:40,880
Speaker 14: he's just not been a factor at all in the

1310
01:08:40,920 --> 01:08:41,599
Speaker 14: red zone.

1311
01:08:42,360 --> 01:08:45,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think that's been the surprising thing as well.

1312
01:08:45,160 --> 01:08:49,320
Speaker 1: This Chiefs team was it seemed was so creative and

1313
01:08:49,400 --> 01:08:53,880
Speaker 1: doing the shovel passes and the and the lateral movement

1314
01:08:54,240 --> 01:08:57,720
Speaker 1: in the backfield, so creative down in the red zone

1315
01:08:57,760 --> 01:09:01,599
Speaker 1: and particularly in goal to go situations. And I don't

1316
01:09:01,640 --> 01:09:03,920
Speaker 1: know whether it's a lack of opportunities this year where

1317
01:09:03,920 --> 01:09:06,360
Speaker 1: they haven't gotten down there as much, but you just

1318
01:09:06,439 --> 01:09:10,439
Speaker 1: have not seen that from them. And maybe it's Eric Banemy.

1319
01:09:10,560 --> 01:09:13,200
Speaker 1: Eric Banamy's been gone now he maybe perhaps he had

1320
01:09:13,320 --> 01:09:16,519
Speaker 1: a contribution that's that's lacking. But I have a hard

1321
01:09:16,560 --> 01:09:20,920
Speaker 1: time getting my mind around why the Chiefs have have

1322
01:09:21,360 --> 01:09:23,760
Speaker 1: we would find ourselves looking at the Chiefs offense like this,

1323
01:09:24,760 --> 01:09:25,920
Speaker 1: I know, and I agree with you.

1324
01:09:25,960 --> 01:09:29,320
Speaker 14: I mean, it's it's that to me is always a

1325
01:09:29,360 --> 01:09:31,800
Speaker 14: hard thing when a team struggles in an area they've

1326
01:09:31,840 --> 01:09:35,120
Speaker 14: been so good at. You know, I always find when

1327
01:09:35,120 --> 01:09:38,400
Speaker 14: I watch tape that I don't come across one reason

1328
01:09:38,439 --> 01:09:40,880
Speaker 14: where I can say, hey, this is the sexy reason

1329
01:09:40,920 --> 01:09:43,400
Speaker 14: why it happens. But you know, I do know that

1330
01:09:43,479 --> 01:09:46,600
Speaker 14: Kelsey's not been a factor at all. Those creative plays

1331
01:09:46,400 --> 01:09:49,720
Speaker 14: you've spoken about Steve, which they used to do seemingly

1332
01:09:49,760 --> 01:09:52,840
Speaker 14: every week, we haven't seen many of those, so you know,

1333
01:09:52,880 --> 01:09:55,559
Speaker 14: we don't know the reasons for this. I can tell

1334
01:09:55,600 --> 01:09:57,799
Speaker 14: you one thing. I don't think I'm not in mahomes

1335
01:09:57,880 --> 01:10:00,920
Speaker 14: his head, but I don't think he's real throwing too

1336
01:10:01,680 --> 01:10:06,479
Speaker 14: other receivers really besides Rice and probably Kelsey, but you know,

1337
01:10:06,600 --> 01:10:08,639
Speaker 14: I don't think they're getting much at all from their

1338
01:10:08,680 --> 01:10:11,919
Speaker 14: other receivers, not even in terms of volume it targets

1339
01:10:11,960 --> 01:10:12,960
Speaker 14: I'm talking about.

1340
01:10:12,920 --> 01:10:15,920
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, Greg, thanks as always for the breakdown. We

1341
01:10:15,960 --> 01:10:17,840
Speaker 3: appreciate it. We'll catch up with you next week. Enjoy

01:11:20,640 --> 01:11:22,799
Speaker 15: the field. We do not need to give the Chiefs

1367
01:11:22,800 --> 01:11:26,080
Speaker 15: extra three yards. Throw them up in the air through

1368
01:11:26,080 --> 01:11:28,360
Speaker 15: the little snow fireworks. I recalled it. I love seeing

1369

1370
01:11:30,560 --> 01:11:34,000
Speaker 15: three yards. Come on now, we're better than that. Were

1371
01:11:34,080 --> 01:11:36,320
Speaker 15: welcome for my homes and let's go.

1372

Speaker 4: Man.

1373
01:11:36,640 --> 01:11:39,400
Speaker 15: We've been asking for this for how long? We bought

1374
01:11:39,439 --> 01:11:42,080
Speaker 15: von Miller here for this reason, for this game. We

1375
01:11:42,200 --> 01:11:46,280
Speaker 15: finally got the Chiefs at home in Buffalo. A man,

1376
01:11:46,439 --> 01:11:49,000
Speaker 15: I don't know why I'm not as worried as I was,

1377
01:11:49,040 --> 01:11:51,439
Speaker 15: because I know when the Steelers game came up, I

1378
01:11:51,479 --> 01:11:53,559
Speaker 15: was nervous. But this game, I am pumped.

1379
01:11:53,600 --> 01:11:54,280
Speaker 8: I am ready.

1380
01:11:54,520 --> 01:11:58,000
Speaker 15: Bill's Mafia stand up, Let's get this dub Josh Allen

1381
01:11:58,080 --> 01:12:01,800
Speaker 15: go off, and let's make this happen. Man, one week

1382
01:12:01,800 --> 01:12:03,360
Speaker 15: at a time, one game at a time. But this

1383
01:12:03,520 --> 01:12:06,760
Speaker 15: is the game, this is the game. Man, let's just

1384
01:12:06,760 --> 01:12:08,320
Speaker 15: do it. Let's make it happen. It's gonna be tough,

1385
01:12:08,360 --> 01:12:10,639
Speaker 15: it's gonna be a roller coaster, but let's stay strung

1386
01:12:10,680 --> 01:12:12,080
Speaker 15: and let's get this dug go builds.

1387
01:12:12,080 --> 01:12:14,519
Speaker 3: All right, let's let's get Julian in the locker room pregame.

1388
01:12:14,520 --> 01:12:15,439
Speaker 1: Man, he's I hear him.

1389
01:12:15,360 --> 01:12:18,920
Speaker 3: Clapping there and wherever he is, he's claud he's pounding

1390
01:12:18,960 --> 01:12:20,080
Speaker 3: his fists, he's ready to go.

1391
01:12:20,560 --> 01:12:24,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it was good. And you're right, I'm yeah.

1392
01:12:24,520 --> 01:12:27,080
Speaker 1: You don't want to send anybody snowball any nobody throws.

1393
01:12:27,080 --> 01:12:30,680
Speaker 1: Don't throw snowballs on the field. And wear blue to

1394
01:12:30,760 --> 01:12:33,599
Speaker 1: the game. Don't wear your red stuff, wear the blue stuff.

1395
01:12:35,840 --> 01:12:40,200
Speaker 1: And you know, yeah, just cheer for your team. This

1396
01:12:40,360 --> 01:12:42,320
Speaker 1: is a big game. It's gonna be awesome. I know.

1397
01:12:43,320 --> 01:12:45,879
Speaker 1: This is one of those where it it feels different

1398
01:12:46,800 --> 01:12:48,720
Speaker 1: having the game in Orchard Park, I think, and I

1399
01:12:48,760 --> 01:12:52,240
Speaker 1: don't know whether it. Most people are like more calm

1400
01:12:52,280 --> 01:12:55,439
Speaker 1: and less nervous about this game because it's in Orchard

1401
01:12:55,439 --> 01:12:58,759
Speaker 1: Park rather than Kansas City. But there does not seem

1402
01:12:58,800 --> 01:13:01,639
Speaker 1: to be the level of ank with Bill's Mafia about

1403
01:13:01,680 --> 01:13:03,680
Speaker 1: playing at home rather than going to Kansas City, like

1404
01:13:03,760 --> 01:13:06,200
Speaker 1: I get that sense too. I don't know why that is,

1405
01:13:06,240 --> 01:13:08,640
Speaker 1: because I'll say it again, I've said I got a

1406
01:13:08,840 --> 01:13:11,639
Speaker 1: Brandy's got a T shirt. I can't find mine. Brandy's

1407
01:13:11,640 --> 01:13:12,880
Speaker 1: got a T shirt that says, you got to play

1408
01:13:12,880 --> 01:13:15,920
Speaker 1: well on that day. You don't win this game just

1409
01:13:15,960 --> 01:13:18,800
Speaker 1: because you're at home. You got to play and you

1410
01:13:18,840 --> 01:13:21,679
Speaker 1: got to play well because that other team probably will.

1411
01:13:22,640 --> 01:13:26,240
Speaker 3: Defending Super Bowl champs, never underestimate the heart of a champion.

1412
01:13:27,080 --> 01:13:29,880
Speaker 3: I've said it before. I'll say it again, never underestimate it.

1413
01:13:30,200 --> 01:13:32,080
Speaker 3: Let's go to Butch in Buffalo next.

1414
01:13:32,080 --> 01:13:32,679
Speaker 1: What's up, Butch?

1415
01:13:33,680 --> 01:13:35,720
Speaker 15: My guys, My guys, that takes so much to take

1416
01:13:35,880 --> 01:13:36,240
Speaker 15: my call?

1417
01:13:38,560 --> 01:13:42,519
Speaker 1: Are you there? Did we lose you, Butch? Butch? Ah right,

1418
01:13:42,560 --> 01:13:44,800
Speaker 1: we lost Butch. Let me put him on hold.

1419
01:13:44,840 --> 01:13:46,439
Speaker 3: I don't know what happened there because he's still on

1420
01:13:46,479 --> 01:13:49,519
Speaker 3: the line, but we for some reason can't hear you, Butcher.

1421
01:13:49,600 --> 01:13:51,320
Speaker 3: So just hang tight because we actually got to get

1422
01:13:51,320 --> 01:13:54,240
Speaker 3: to break anyway. We'll take a break here. But taking

1423

Speaker 1: Bill's Live.

1431
01:14:26,360 --> 01:14:28,599
Speaker 3: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you, and it is time

1432
01:14:28,800 --> 01:14:34,439
Speaker 3: for Collision Course, brought to you by GABS Collision. GABS Collision,

1433
01:14:34,479 --> 01:14:37,000
Speaker 3: the official auto collision repair center of the Buffalo Bills.

1434
01:14:37,040 --> 01:14:39,800
Speaker 3: Get back in the game, and our collision course this

1435
01:14:39,880 --> 01:14:44,880
Speaker 3: week is Isaiah Pachecko against Buffalo's run defense. As we

1436
01:14:44,960 --> 01:14:48,800
Speaker 3: mentioned earlier, Pachecko out with a shoulder injury in that

1437
01:14:48,840 --> 01:14:52,799
Speaker 3: Week fourteen matchup, did not play and the Chiefs managed

1438
01:14:52,840 --> 01:14:55,840
Speaker 3: just eighty two yards on the ground in total in

1439
01:14:55,880 --> 01:14:59,000
Speaker 3: the bills twenty to seventeen victory. But he is back

1440
01:14:59,439 --> 01:15:03,200
Speaker 3: and in the playoffs he has had over seventy five

1441
01:15:03,320 --> 01:15:08,080
Speaker 3: yards from scrimmage in his I think four career playoff games.

1442
01:15:08,760 --> 01:15:15,320
Speaker 3: So he's got jackhammer feet, you know, active high knee runner.

1443
01:15:16,479 --> 01:15:20,240
Speaker 3: Bill's are really gonna have to kind of hem him in, yeah,

1444
01:15:20,280 --> 01:15:24,120
Speaker 3: and not let him get outside. He's usually between the tackles.

1445
01:15:24,200 --> 01:15:24,439
Speaker 1: Runner.

1446
01:15:24,479 --> 01:15:27,360
Speaker 3: We heard, you know, Greg co cell tell us last

1447
01:15:27,360 --> 01:15:30,600
Speaker 3: segment how they kind of utilize a gap scheme with him.

1448
01:15:30,960 --> 01:15:34,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a tackle breaker, he's a north south runner.

1449
01:15:34,760 --> 01:15:38,559
Speaker 3: First guy's got wrap up, he's got great, great burst.

1450
01:15:38,640 --> 01:15:40,479
Speaker 1: He can get to the edge. But they they run

1451
01:15:40,560 --> 01:15:42,800
Speaker 1: him right up between the tackles man and they're very

1452
01:15:42,840 --> 01:15:45,920
Speaker 1: good at it. So four three eight speed. They're like

1453
01:15:45,960 --> 01:15:50,120
Speaker 1: we've been talking about all week that the interior, the

1454
01:15:50,160 --> 01:15:54,719
Speaker 1: guard to guard offensive line of the Chiefs is better

1455
01:15:54,760 --> 01:15:56,519
Speaker 1: than they are at the edges. So they kind of

1456
01:15:56,640 --> 01:15:59,680
Speaker 1: use those guys. They get up inside and they can

1457
01:15:59,760 --> 01:16:03,760
Speaker 1: get the second level and then move people around. It's yeah,

1458
01:16:03,800 --> 01:16:05,960
Speaker 1: it's a good group up inside there, so they're gonna

1459
01:16:06,040 --> 01:16:09,719
Speaker 1: use it. That's the what do we say, collision course.

1460
01:16:10,080 --> 01:16:12,639
Speaker 1: That is our collision course. There we are a matchup

1461
01:16:12,640 --> 01:16:13,080
Speaker 1: of the week.

1462
01:16:13,880 --> 01:16:18,200
Speaker 3: We pivot from collision Course to Tailgate Friday, which is

1463
01:16:18,240 --> 01:16:20,879
Speaker 3: presented by high marked Blue Cross, Blue Shield, the official

1464
01:16:20,920 --> 01:16:24,640
Speaker 3: healthcare plan of the Buffalo Bills. And I want to

1465
01:16:24,640 --> 01:16:26,519
Speaker 3: see what you're cooking up in the lots on this

1466
01:16:26,640 --> 01:16:31,639
Speaker 3: wintry Sunday, and we first see what Jason has to offer.

1467
01:16:31,680 --> 01:16:35,759
Speaker 3: He says, yet another late game for the Scottish Bills Mafia.

1468
01:16:35,840 --> 01:16:38,559
Speaker 3: Although eleven thirty pm is way better than last week.

1469
01:16:39,000 --> 01:16:42,879
Speaker 3: Maybe have an early night, but we'll probably watch Lions Bucks.

1470
01:16:43,280 --> 01:16:46,479
Speaker 3: There will be a celebratory whiskey with a Bills win,

1471
01:16:46,920 --> 01:16:50,160
Speaker 3: then a few hours of sleep, then work go Bills.

1472
01:16:50,320 --> 01:16:53,559
Speaker 3: So that's a Scottish bills mafia watching on the other side.

1473
01:16:53,400 --> 01:16:54,919
Speaker 1: Like Scotland sometime.

1474
01:16:56,960 --> 01:17:00,880
Speaker 3: If it's nay Scottish, it's craps, right, and that what

1475
01:17:00,920 --> 01:17:01,280
Speaker 3: we say.

1476
01:17:01,960 --> 01:17:02,280
Speaker 1: Uh.

Speaker 3: watching the game from my patio like I always do.

1479
01:17:08,720 --> 01:17:12,840
Speaker 3: Because it is unseasonably freezing cold in southern Tennessee. I

1480
01:17:12,880 --> 01:17:14,599
Speaker 3: wanted something on the menu to warm me up.

1481
01:17:14,720 --> 01:17:15,479
Speaker 1: I'm going with.

1482

01:19:39,439 --> 01:19:43,400
Speaker 3: Yea Andrew says, gonna cook a nice pork tenderloin with

1525
01:19:43,520 --> 01:19:47,880
Speaker 3: garlic mash and some cheddar cheese garlic biscuits. O.

1526
01:19:48,040 --> 01:19:50,000
Speaker 1: What can I say? I love? What can I say?

1527
01:19:50,040 --> 01:19:53,680
Speaker 1: I love garlic? Lol? I like garlic too. I love

1528
01:19:53,720 --> 01:19:56,280
Speaker 1: all this stuff. And that's good submissions this week It'll

1529
01:19:56,280 --> 01:19:58,880
Speaker 1: be because I'll say this. I came in last week.

1530
01:19:58,960 --> 01:20:01,760
Speaker 1: It was a fourth thirty game right on Monday night,

1531
01:20:02,520 --> 01:20:06,920
Speaker 1: and I got here early, and I was I drove

1532
01:20:07,040 --> 01:20:09,679
Speaker 1: right in without an issue. I mean there was no

1533
01:20:10,360 --> 01:20:13,120
Speaker 1: nothing all the way in. I got here about ten

1534
01:20:13,200 --> 01:20:15,280
Speaker 1: to thirty or eleven or whatever it was, sailed in

1535
01:20:15,800 --> 01:20:20,120
Speaker 1: sailed in and then then it hit the traffic was

1536
01:20:20,280 --> 01:20:22,400
Speaker 1: it was bad. Yeah. Even the veteran people who come

1537
01:20:22,400 --> 01:20:23,640
Speaker 1: to all the games are like going, wow, it was

1538
01:20:23,680 --> 01:20:26,120
Speaker 1: awful because you know, you can we all imagine all

1539
01:20:26,160 --> 01:20:28,080
Speaker 1: the private lots were all closed up because they couldn't

1540
01:20:28,080 --> 01:20:29,680
Speaker 1: move the snow. Some of them were closing it. So

1541
01:20:29,720 --> 01:20:32,320
Speaker 1: what a lot. You know, thousands of people who have

1542
01:20:32,400 --> 01:20:37,120
Speaker 1: a normal routine parking spot were displaced. We're out, and

1543
01:20:37,240 --> 01:20:42,000
Speaker 1: so traffic was an absolute atrocity. So think about that

1544
01:20:42,040 --> 01:20:43,559
Speaker 1: when you're getting ready to come to the game. Games

1545
01:20:43,600 --> 01:20:47,880
Speaker 1: at six thirty were blue and come very very early

1546
01:20:48,560 --> 01:20:50,160
Speaker 1: and layered up and layered up.

1547
01:20:50,760 --> 01:20:53,360
Speaker 3: If you're sitting outside, let's go back to the phones

1548
01:20:53,479 --> 01:20:55,280
Speaker 3: and to Mark in Jersey City.

1549
01:20:55,280 --> 01:20:59,960
Speaker 10: What do you got for us, Mark, Good afternoon, gentlemen. Yeah, case,

1550
01:21:00,080 --> 01:21:03,280
Speaker 10: see four hundred yards for the first time since week

1551
01:21:03,360 --> 01:21:08,879
Speaker 10: seven last week against a mass unit at home on offense,

1552
01:21:09,439 --> 01:21:13,200
Speaker 10: and they're no sky more in this game. Who's pretty

1553
01:21:13,240 --> 01:21:19,559
Speaker 10: much Josh Reed former Bill same guy, uh and Kaid

1554
01:21:19,680 --> 01:21:23,519
Speaker 10: and Shakir did not feature at all in the first game.

1555
01:21:23,600 --> 01:21:27,000
Speaker 10: It was knock his first game back on the road.

1556
01:21:27,200 --> 01:21:29,439
Speaker 10: Like you said yesterday, they don't turn the ball over

1557
01:21:29,520 --> 01:21:31,840
Speaker 10: on defense because I think if they play so much

1558
01:21:31,880 --> 01:21:34,599
Speaker 10: press sticky man, that the dbs are really never playing

1559
01:21:34,680 --> 01:21:40,719
Speaker 10: the quarterback. They're just staying on the receivers hip. Then

1560
01:21:41,160 --> 01:21:44,320
Speaker 10: under a turnover zero point seventy five on the road,

1561
01:21:44,640 --> 01:21:48,160
Speaker 10: only six all year, and the offense almost two turnovers

1562
01:21:48,160 --> 01:21:51,720
Speaker 10: on the road. So I think that's what it's going

1563
01:21:51,760 --> 01:21:54,280
Speaker 10: to come down to. And they're home, they're away opponents,

1564
01:21:54,680 --> 01:21:59,000
Speaker 10: I mean Jaguars, and I'm talking about the environment more

1565
01:21:59,040 --> 01:22:01,839
Speaker 10: than anything. The environment they're going to face on Sunday.

1566
01:22:02,080 --> 01:22:05,519
Speaker 10: Jaguars Chargers, Yeah, Patriots Packer.

1567
01:22:05,560 --> 01:22:08,160
Speaker 16: I mean, the Packers is probably the closest thing they've

1568
01:22:08,160 --> 01:22:11,439
Speaker 16: had faced all year, and that matters. And another thing

1569
01:22:11,479 --> 01:22:13,960
Speaker 16: I want to point out, Dawkins Dion was very very

1570
01:22:14,000 --> 01:22:17,680
Speaker 16: poignant yesterday talking about we're home, We're in our routine,

1571
01:22:17,760 --> 01:22:20,559
Speaker 16: We're in our beds, we're in our facility, we're in

1572
01:22:20,600 --> 01:22:24,439
Speaker 16: our rehab. You know, if I eat McDonald's or do this,

1573
01:22:24,600 --> 01:22:27,920
Speaker 16: it's still my routine. These guys are on the road

1574
01:22:28,320 --> 01:22:30,840
Speaker 16: and I think that makes up for that extra day

1575
01:22:30,920 --> 01:22:34,559
Speaker 16: missed when you're sleeping in a foreign bed, when you're

1576
01:22:34,600 --> 01:22:37,439
Speaker 16: sleeping in a and you're not eating the same food,

1577
01:22:37,520 --> 01:22:40,559
Speaker 16: you can't prehab and rehab the same way before you know,

1578
01:22:40,640 --> 01:22:43,000
Speaker 16: before the game, you don't have your setup. And they're

1579
01:22:43,120 --> 01:22:46,439
Speaker 16: used to that environment on the road, and I'm sorry,

1580
01:22:46,520 --> 01:22:49,040
Speaker 16: at home in Arrowhead in the playoffs, so this is

1581
01:22:49,640 --> 01:22:52,200
Speaker 16: completely alien. I don't care how many times they've been

1582
01:22:52,200 --> 01:22:54,480
Speaker 16: at home for the playoffs.

1583
01:22:55,320 --> 01:22:57,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's been a while since they've had probably a

1584
01:22:57,439 --> 01:23:00,080
Speaker 1: tough crowd to play in front of. They were they

1585
01:23:00,120 --> 01:23:02,400
Speaker 1: were at Los Angeles, which as we all know, is

1586
01:23:02,760 --> 01:23:05,160
Speaker 1: it's a neutral crowd, A neutral crowd at best. The

1587
01:23:05,200 --> 01:23:07,439
Speaker 1: Patriots on a late in the year when they were

1588
01:23:07,439 --> 01:23:10,559
Speaker 1: having a down year, not a really raucous crowd. At

1589
01:23:10,600 --> 01:23:13,840
Speaker 1: green Bay. Maybe they lost by eight points to green

1590
01:23:13,880 --> 01:23:17,320
Speaker 1: Bay in green Bay. At the Vegas Raiders they win there.

1591
01:23:17,439 --> 01:23:20,640
Speaker 1: Vegas is a neutral crowd probably as well. It can

1592
01:23:20,680 --> 01:23:23,760
Speaker 1: get fired up in there, especially for the Chiefs, the rival. Yeah,

1593
01:23:23,800 --> 01:23:26,000
Speaker 1: that's true. And they were at Denver that's a tough

1594
01:23:26,040 --> 01:23:29,120
Speaker 1: crowd to a tough place to play always, and then

1595
01:23:29,200 --> 01:23:33,160
Speaker 1: at Minnesota at the Jets and at Jacksonville way back

1596
01:23:33,160 --> 01:23:36,000
Speaker 1: in the day. You're right, their road schedule was not

1597
01:23:36,160 --> 01:23:39,080
Speaker 1: one that is littered with a lot of tough places,

1598
01:23:39,080 --> 01:23:43,879
Speaker 1: although Minnesota's got a great defense. Yeah, Vegas and Denver

1599
01:23:45,280 --> 01:23:49,759
Speaker 1: are tough, tough road venues, but not in the playoffs,

1600
01:23:49,800 --> 01:23:51,400
Speaker 1: and not here in Orchard Park when it's going to

1601
01:23:51,479 --> 01:23:56,439
Speaker 1: be six or nineteen degrees or whatever it's going to be. Yeah,

1602
01:23:56,439 --> 01:23:59,639
Speaker 1: it'll be a different feel. And for all the marbles,

1603
01:23:59,640 --> 01:24:03,240
Speaker 1: they've never Mahome's never done this, So we'll see. He may,

1604
01:24:03,560 --> 01:24:05,160
Speaker 1: we don't know. He may hit it out of the park.

1605
01:24:05,200 --> 01:24:08,559
Speaker 1: He may play awesome. He may number down his.

1606
01:24:08,560 --> 01:24:12,000
Speaker 3: Playoff numbers in neutral site games, which are obviously the

1607
01:24:12,040 --> 01:24:13,920
Speaker 3: Super Bowls. Those are the closest thing he's played to

1608
01:24:13,960 --> 01:24:18,479
Speaker 3: her old venue. His completion percentage comes down about six percent.

1609
01:24:18,880 --> 01:24:22,040
Speaker 3: His yards per attempt come down, his touchdown to interception

1610
01:24:22,160 --> 01:24:24,719
Speaker 3: ratio comes down, and his passer rating comes down as well.

1611
01:24:25,120 --> 01:24:26,960
Speaker 3: So we'll see if that holds to form in a

1612
01:24:27,040 --> 01:24:30,960
Speaker 3: road venue. On Sunday to Paul in Rome next, what's up, Paul?

1613
01:24:31,720 --> 01:24:33,760
Speaker 11: Hey, how you guys doing this afternoon?

1614
01:24:33,880 --> 01:24:34,160
Speaker 1: Great?

1615
01:24:35,040 --> 01:24:35,439
Speaker 4: Awesome?

1616
01:24:35,479 --> 01:24:37,559
Speaker 11: Hey, I got a question in regards to I've been

1617
01:24:37,560 --> 01:24:42,160
Speaker 11: watching von huge supporter of Von Miller and the defense.

1618
01:24:42,520 --> 01:24:45,400
Speaker 11: My question is, and maybe they haven't shown it, because

1619
01:24:45,400 --> 01:24:47,559
Speaker 11: I'm sure as a great coach does they don't show

1620
01:24:47,600 --> 01:24:50,160
Speaker 11: all their cards. But why aren't they sliding him into

1621
01:24:50,240 --> 01:24:52,519
Speaker 11: the middle and blitzing him up to the middle. You

1622
01:24:52,560 --> 01:24:56,479
Speaker 11: know we're depleted at the middle linebacker right now. My

1623
01:24:56,640 --> 01:25:00,000
Speaker 11: thought is, blitz them every play, bring him in every

1624
01:24:59,720 --> 01:25:02,439
Speaker 11: di get you don't know what gap he's coming through.

1625
01:25:02,720 --> 01:25:05,360
Speaker 11: He can run a straight line, he just can't get

1626
01:25:05,680 --> 01:25:08,160
Speaker 11: you get a three hundred and fifty pounds seventy pound whatever,

1627
01:25:08,240 --> 01:25:11,840
Speaker 11: big guy leaning on you. You don't have that lateral

1628
01:25:12,479 --> 01:25:16,120
Speaker 11: explosion anymore. Straight liner. I think he could blow up

1629
01:25:16,160 --> 01:25:19,519
Speaker 11: their running game, like crazy? What what say you guys?

1630
01:25:19,680 --> 01:25:21,519
Speaker 1: You're talking about moving Vaughn around all that?

1631
01:25:21,560 --> 01:25:21,680
Speaker 7: Ya?

1632
01:25:21,760 --> 01:25:24,599
Speaker 1: He wants him up the middle. I get it, Okay, Well, yeah,

1633
01:25:24,640 --> 01:25:28,200
Speaker 1: here's the thing. Yeah, I mean you can do that.

1634
01:25:28,360 --> 01:25:30,080
Speaker 1: I don't know that Vaughn is that kind of player.

1635
01:25:30,080 --> 01:25:32,160
Speaker 1: He's never done that in his career, and I don't

1636
01:25:32,160 --> 01:25:35,439
Speaker 1: think you need to reinvent them. Yeah, you're not gonna

1637
01:25:35,479 --> 01:25:37,400
Speaker 1: you're not gonna flip over the apple cart that's gotten

1638
01:25:37,439 --> 01:25:39,639
Speaker 1: you to the divisional round of the NFL playoffs. You've

1639
01:25:39,640 --> 01:25:43,120
Speaker 1: got some confidence in the guys around in that around

1640
01:25:43,280 --> 01:25:46,800
Speaker 1: Vaughn that have played very well in their spots. You're

1641
01:25:46,800 --> 01:25:49,040
Speaker 1: not gonna, I don't. I don't think it's is it

1642
01:25:49,479 --> 01:25:52,000
Speaker 1: a time for you? I don't think anybody on this

1643
01:25:52,080 --> 01:25:56,200
Speaker 1: defense or at a point where you want to focus

1644
01:25:56,280 --> 01:25:58,640
Speaker 1: the entire game plan around them in their pass rush. Now,

1645
01:25:58,680 --> 01:26:01,040
Speaker 1: certainly Vaughn's gonna get his chance to rush rush the passer,

1646
01:26:01,080 --> 01:26:02,519
Speaker 1: but he's gonna do it like he always does it,

1647
01:26:03,080 --> 01:26:06,360
Speaker 1: and so is Greg Russeau, so is aj A Panessa,

1648
01:26:06,439 --> 01:26:09,160
Speaker 1: so is Shaq Laws and all those guys at Oliver.

1649
01:26:10,000 --> 01:26:11,920
Speaker 1: So I'm not going I'm not one. You may throw

1650
01:26:11,960 --> 01:26:15,720
Speaker 1: that in there like as a change up, but you're

1651
01:26:15,760 --> 01:26:18,559
Speaker 1: not gonna do that as a game plan. Yeah, a

1652
01:26:18,600 --> 01:26:21,320
Speaker 1: staple of your game plan. Yeah, certainly you can do

1653
01:26:21,360 --> 01:26:24,680
Speaker 1: it once in a while, but you don't want to

1654
01:26:24,920 --> 01:26:27,880
Speaker 1: change up everything you've done because once you put Vaughan there,

1655
01:26:28,120 --> 01:26:30,120
Speaker 1: well who's gonna take the spot where Vaughn lined up?

1656
01:26:30,120 --> 01:26:31,479
Speaker 1: And who's gonna take you know, what are you gonna

1657
01:26:31,479 --> 01:26:34,160
Speaker 1: do with the linebacker that was lined up there? Who

1658
01:26:34,120 --> 01:26:35,920
Speaker 1: are you gonna put it. You know, who are you

1659
01:26:35,920 --> 01:26:39,000
Speaker 1: gonna take off the field if he changes positions with

1660
01:26:39,040 --> 01:26:40,840
Speaker 1: the guy and all of a sudden, now instead of

1661
01:26:40,880 --> 01:26:43,479
Speaker 1: just Vaughn rushing at a different spot, now you've got

1662
01:26:43,479 --> 01:26:46,960
Speaker 1: three guys that are doing something different. So it's you know,

1663
01:26:47,000 --> 01:26:48,280
Speaker 1: I'm not I don't know if I'm a fan of

1664
01:26:48,280 --> 01:26:48,760
Speaker 1: that at all.

1665
01:26:49,760 --> 01:26:52,600
Speaker 3: We have to step aside. Here, one more segment to go.

1666
01:26:52,680 --> 01:26:54,400
Speaker 3: We'll try to squeeze in a couple of phone calls

1667
01:26:54,439 --> 01:26:57,479
Speaker 3: when we come back here. On an obl Friday fan

1675
01:27:36,000 --> 01:27:39,960
Speaker 3: about the new vision correction options available for me.

1676
01:27:40,000 --> 01:27:41,640
Speaker 1: Steve, I think the D.

1677
01:27:41,800 --> 01:27:45,000
Speaker 3: Line has to dominate, and what I mean by that

1678
01:27:45,160 --> 01:27:47,080
Speaker 3: is they've got to find a way to scheme one

1679
01:27:47,120 --> 01:27:49,920
Speaker 3: on ones on the edges. We know Sean McDermott has

1680
01:27:50,000 --> 01:27:53,519
Speaker 3: done some expert scheming in terms of scheming guys into

1681
01:27:53,560 --> 01:27:57,439
Speaker 3: one on one opportunities with simulated pressures, blitz packages, people

1682
01:27:57,479 --> 01:28:00,839
Speaker 3: coming from different places. I think these op defensive tackles

1683
01:28:00,880 --> 01:28:03,720
Speaker 3: can be had in one on one matchups. Whether it's

1684
01:28:03,760 --> 01:28:09,200
Speaker 3: Greg Russo, aj Epanessa, shack lost him, I mean, anybody

1685
01:28:09,280 --> 01:28:13,320
Speaker 3: out there, Von Miller, Leonard Floyd. It's a win, a win,

1686
01:28:13,560 --> 01:28:16,040
Speaker 3: a win, and a win eight ways to Sunday. I

1687
01:28:16,040 --> 01:28:18,360
Speaker 3: think they got to make that happen. And I'm not

1688
01:28:18,400 --> 01:28:20,880
Speaker 3: saying to Greg co sales point they're gonna get five

1689
01:28:20,960 --> 01:28:23,479
Speaker 3: sacks in the game, but move them off his spot,

1690
01:28:23,600 --> 01:28:27,559
Speaker 3: make them uncomfortable, hurry some decisions with his throwing and

1691
01:28:28,240 --> 01:28:30,320
Speaker 3: give him to throw it away, give him some opportunities

1692
01:28:30,360 --> 01:28:31,839
Speaker 3: on the back end to get some takeaways.

1693
01:28:31,880 --> 01:28:33,800
Speaker 1: I'll say that, yeah, and I'll agree with that too.

1694
01:28:33,800 --> 01:28:36,439
Speaker 1: And I'll also say that I think their ability, the

1695
01:28:36,439 --> 01:28:39,000
Speaker 1: offensive line of the Buffalo Bills ability to handle Chris

1696
01:28:39,320 --> 01:28:41,519
Speaker 1: Jones is huge in this game, and I think one

1697
01:28:41,560 --> 01:28:42,720
Speaker 1: of the reasons they can do that. One of the

1698
01:28:42,720 --> 01:28:44,599
Speaker 1: ways they can do that is to run right at him.

1699
01:28:44,920 --> 01:28:48,320
Speaker 1: Playing defensive tackle, Just beat him up, push him around,

1700
01:28:48,400 --> 01:28:51,160
Speaker 1: don't give him a chance to rush the passer. You know,

1701
01:28:51,840 --> 01:28:53,960
Speaker 1: I think this is an offensive line of the Bills

1702
01:28:53,960 --> 01:28:56,400
Speaker 1: that can push those guys there. They're out with one

1703
01:28:56,400 --> 01:28:58,559
Speaker 1: of their guys is out, the defensive tackles is out.

1704
01:28:58,800 --> 01:29:02,080
Speaker 1: Their run defense to take sickly looks weaker, way weaker

1705
01:29:02,120 --> 01:29:05,600
Speaker 1: than their pass defense. James Cook might be able to

1706
01:29:05,600 --> 01:29:10,320
Speaker 1: carry the day here for the Buffalo Bills. I think

1707
01:29:10,400 --> 01:29:12,519
Speaker 1: their ability to handle Chris Jones in the passing game

1708
01:29:12,560 --> 01:29:14,120
Speaker 1: and then run right at him in the run game

1709
01:29:14,479 --> 01:29:16,400
Speaker 1: and just you know, make it a long day for

1710
01:29:16,520 --> 01:29:19,160
Speaker 1: him might give the Bills a chance to win as well.

1711
01:29:19,520 --> 01:29:23,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's had a hell of a season though, not

1712
01:29:23,360 --> 01:29:27,280
Speaker 3: for nothing. Chris Jones thirteen tackles for loss, ten and

1713
01:29:27,320 --> 01:29:32,400
Speaker 3: a half sacks, and twenty nine quarterback pressures twenty nine.

1714
01:29:32,400 --> 01:29:35,200
Speaker 1: You don't pressure the quarterback when you're tackling a running back. Yea,

1715
01:29:35,560 --> 01:29:36,120
Speaker 1: that is true.

1716
01:29:36,160 --> 01:29:38,639
Speaker 3: We'll see enjoy the game, Steve, and I'll be back

1717
01:29:38,680 --> 01:29:40,200
Speaker 3: on Monday to wrap it all up at noon.

1718
01:29:40,240 --> 01:29:40,720
Speaker 1: We'll see you that
