1
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:10,559
Speaker 1: At a Steve Tasker who has been all over the field.

2
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:12,239
Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

3
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:18,800
Speaker 1: player for you see a blimp. We're not even in

4
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 1: the credit beer of normalcy. All right, Welcome to a

5
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 1: Thursday edition of One Bill's Live. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker

6
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:33,240
Speaker 1: with you as always, and we'll be dicing and chopping

7
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:37,560
Speaker 1: it up here today from two different locations. As Steve

8
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 1: is madly scrambling to get a pack that works and

9
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,480
Speaker 1: helps him here because he can't hear me right now

10
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: as he's scrambling to steal my pack in studio, I

11
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 1: am broadcasting from the home front here, as I shall

12
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 1: we say, was in the throws of the snow band

13
00:00:55,960 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: that came off Lake Erie this morning with a vengeance.

14
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 1: It was snowing here by my house at about a

15
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: rate of two to three inches an hour. I couldn't

16
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: see the houses across the street from me, so in

17
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 1: anticipation of the storm, I brought the remote equipment necessary

18
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,119
Speaker 1: to broadcast from the house. If that was in fact necessary,

19
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 1: we deemed it to be, or I should say I

20
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: deemed it to be. The brave souls that live in

21
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 1: the Southtowns apparently got absolutely nothing this morning, and I

22
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: don't know if it's even snowing there now, even slightly.

23
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 1: I would think it is a little bit, because the

24
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,400
Speaker 1: snow has tapered off a little bit here, although it

25
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:46,680
Speaker 1: is still coming down, and I can definitively say we've

26
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: got sixteen to eighteen inches on the ground right now

27
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: and it's still coming down. So we've been in I

28
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: guess what they would call or consider the persistent part

29
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 1: of the snow band, and it has not really moved

30
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: since overnight, about three to four in the morning. Because

31
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: I went out to my driveway seven thirty this morning,

32
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: under the anticipation of coming in to the studio, cleared

33
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: about six inches off my driveway, went upstairs, showered and shaved,

34
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: get ready to come to work. I look out my window.

35
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 1: Twenty minutes later, I can't see across the street, and

36
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: about an hour later the six inches I removed had

37
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 1: been replaced for an extra inch or two on top.

38
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 1: So that is why I am on the home front today.

39
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 1: Steve is in studio because he told me barely had

40
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 1: an inch on the ground, and so he, along with

41
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,079
Speaker 1: some of the other guys in the control room, did

42
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 1: not see nor have to deal with any of the

43
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 1: snow that some of us in other areas of Western

44
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: New York had. So I will be here on the

45
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: home front. We're eighteen inches of snow outside while Steve

46
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: is are you with us? Steve? Can you hear me? Now?

47
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: I am. I needed more, even more volume though, from

48
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: my boy Jay, oh boy. But we're doing good. No, yeah,

49
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: this was work. It was all this stuff was working

50
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: like an hour and a half ago. Yeah, welcome to

51
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: the show, Steve. It's good to have you with. Thanks

52
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 1: for having me. I'll be staying for the foreseeable future. Uh. So,

53
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: I was telling everybody about the eighteen inches of snow

54
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 1: that sits outside my home, which is one of the

55
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 1: reasons I am here is it was snowing anywhere from

56
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:27,679
Speaker 1: two to three inches an hour here for about three

57
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: hours straight, in the time I would normally be driving in.

58
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 1: I said, yeah, you know what, I'm probably not going

59
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: to deal with that today. Well, it's not about I

60
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 1: am here. You are there, You're done, well, I was, Yeah,

61
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: that was the bigger concern getting home, more so than

62
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: even getting in. But the visibility here was pretty poor.

63
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: I would say from about nine thirty to eleven thirty.

64
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 1: It was pretty bad. Um it has improved, but it's

65
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: it's still snowing here, so yeah, it's not as hard

66
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: as it was earlier, so it might be headed your way.

67
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: What do you guys got out there? Not much? Oh

68
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: my gosh, still a couple of inches. Not even look

69
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: at the field. Oh my gosh. The sun is out,

70
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: thank you? What the hell the sun? Let me just

71
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: say the sun always shines on high Mark bro Well, okay,

72
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 1: I don't know about always, but we're doing We're doing good.

73
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 1: I got up. The wind was bad, but we didn't

74
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: get any snow, you know. All right, During the next break,

75
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: I am taking a couple of photos and I am

76
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: sending it to the guys in the control room so

77
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: you can see what I'm dealing with. Yeah, it's bad

78
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 1: North and that is insane. Now for people who live

79
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 1: for people who are watching, most of our viewers and

80
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: listeners are from western New York. He had get all this,

81
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:46,919
Speaker 1: but let me just explain it to people, because I know,

82
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: like my mom and dad are watching in Kansas. I

83
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: know there's some other people around the country that watch

84
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 1: us or catch us. For those of you who don't

85
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 1: earn out natives of this region of the of the

86
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:01,359
Speaker 1: planet we call Western New York. If I live in

87
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: an easter or which is exactly north south right across,

88
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 1: it's straight east of high Mark Stadium, and Brownie lives

89
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: in Lancaster, which is what ten miles north, five miles north,

90
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: probably a little more, probably ten, that's all right. Say

91
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: we'll say it's ten miles an hour, ten ten miles

92
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,919
Speaker 1: north between my home, which has got maybe like a

93
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 1: dust like like powdered sugar on the ground, like on

94
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: top of like on top of a nice tasty cinnamon

95
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 1: roll or whatever. Okay, so you got that much on

96
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: the ground. But you can start driving north towards Brownie's house,

97
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: and at some point within a half a mile stretch

98
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: of road, you're gonna go from what I've got to

99
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,280
Speaker 1: like way over a foot of snow on the on

100
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: the ground. And it happens that fast. So Brownie's up

101
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 1: there being nanook of the north like hunkers down like

102
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 1: checking pipes, you know, checking his generator. I'm mowing my lawn. Basically,

103
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: that's what it's like. It's nuts. And the funny thing

104
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 1: is you go ten miles north of where I am

105
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: you know, you go up into Williamsville. Although Clarence was

106
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: getting some from what I had heard this morning, they

107
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: were getting it like we were. But you know, you

108
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: get to Lockport. Oh they got school today. Yeah they're

109
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: going to school. Yeah they're wearing they're wearing. They're wearing

110
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: flip flops to school. Oh boy, it's just the way

111
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 1: it is. When we when we go to break, I'll

112
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: take a couple of photos of road I'm looking at

113
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 1: outside my house. I'll send them into the guys in

114
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 1: the control room and you guys can put them up

115
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: if you like, sit them to a side by side

116
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 1: my backyard and high Mark Stadium. Yeah, it's insane. Yeah,

117
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 1: it's crazy that that's the way it is. And it

118
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 1: is unique to the Great Lakes. It's called it's called

119
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 1: Lake effects snow. We know, we all get it, we

120
00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,919
Speaker 1: all know what it is. But today we are getting

121
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 1: a textbook dose. Usually it's a little further south, right,

122
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 1: I mean, usually were the stadiums in the snow belt. Well, yeah,

123
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: you guys are quote unquote snow belt territory right, Like

124
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: I was telling you on the show yesterday, we are

125
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 1: right on the fringe. So if the wind's coming out

126
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 1: of the southwest just a little bit more than it

127
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 1: usually does. We'll get at least some of it. I

128
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 1: would say ninety percent of the time. We're getting at

129
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 1: least something. Maybe not as much as you guys typically get,

130
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: but we'll get something because we're that close to the

131
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 1: edge of it, right, You're just you're just on the

132
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: northern edge of what's typically the snow belt and we're

133
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 1: you know, down here now ope, we're you know, people

134
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 1: are living their lives and it's not a big deal.

135
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 1: Nothing's going on. I do, though, I do have to

136
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: go to the Sabers game tonight, so I gotta get

137
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 1: downtown tonight. By that ty is not good either. From right,

138
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: downtown is supposed to be a problem, but by tonight

139
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: they'll be on top of that. I'm confident that the

140
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: Sabers game was not in peril for me. Well, yeah, Plus,

141
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,679
Speaker 1: this thing is supposed to drift south towards you guys

142
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: later today, at least that was the forecast. Yeah, later

143
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: later in the day that we get the more it

144
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: was supposed to drift south towards you guys, But we

145
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 1: know that's sometimes been changed from right time to time

146
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: just decides it's gonna sit here. I guess we'll keep busy. Right.

147
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 1: Done the driveway twice already, You've got you've had to

148
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 1: seriously had to plow your driveway, to blow your driveway twice. Yeah,

149
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: well I've I mean, I've only got a five horsepower,

150
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,559
Speaker 1: so I really don't want it to get much more

151
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: than a foot and a half because if I do,

152
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 1: now I'm taxing that thing. And I'm just gonna be honest.

153
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:47,839
Speaker 1: My snowblower is we are. My snowblower is eighteen years old.

154
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 1: I've taken very good care of it. It's been very

155
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: good to me. Yeah, but you know, when you got

156
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 1: an old lady like that, you got to take care

157
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: of it. You don't want to overtax uh, the snowblower,

158
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 1: especially on a day like today, if we start talking

159
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:04,319
Speaker 1: about model numbers and the like the at five thousand

160
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 1: night the night the two thousand and four version of

161
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 1: the eight thousand snowblower, and everybody out on in buffaloes going, oh, yeah, yeah,

162
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:11,199
Speaker 1: I used to my dad had one of those, or

163
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 1: my brother has one of those. I've got the T

164
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 1: thirty two from Toroy, that's the one I like because

165
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 1: I you know, we're a half a step from that Brownie.

166
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 1: That's okay, we're like, you know, almost it's almost two

167
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: time exactly. Yeah. Yeah, so no, but my dad would

168
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: be very proud of me because that guy kept things

169
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 1: in immaculate condition and they lasted forever. That's been one

170
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 1: of the few things I've taken very good care of.

171
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: So I kind of baby it now that it's older.

172
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,559
Speaker 1: So anytime we get up around a foot, I'm out

173
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 1: there just to stay on top of it because I

174
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 1: don't need that thing whining and wincing and groaning about it. Fortunately,

175
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:54,680
Speaker 1: the snow that we have pretty light, powdery, you know,

176
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:56,679
Speaker 1: it's not a wet, heavy snow, So that's good, right,

177
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: that's the thing usually, and we haven't had much yet

178
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 1: this year, but it is late enough in the winter

179
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 1: where you know how you get those snows like we

180
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,719
Speaker 1: get once in one in October and early November, those

181
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 1: kind of things where that's that first snow of the year.

182
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 1: It weighs a thousand pounds and you know per cubic foot,

183
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 1: you know, it's really wet heavy snow. That's the kind

184
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: that's that's heart attack waiting to happen there when you

185
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 1: get out and try and shovel that off your walk. Right,

186
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 1: So this snow though after it's been if it happens

187
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 1: late in the season, it's usually snow like this. It's

188
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 1: easy to blow, easy to move around. It's not too

189
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,959
Speaker 1: tough to get off your lawn or off your sidewalk anyway.

190
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 1: All right, so I think we filled the quota for

191
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 1: snow talk today. If I get a photo over to

192
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 1: the guys, well, we'll have an update a little bit

193
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: later on in the show. But we do have football

194
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 1: to get to, and we've got a full slate for

195
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 1: you today. Bottom of the hour, we've got ESPN NFL

196
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 1: insider and fantasy football guru Field Yates with his Week

197
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: eighteen Ultimate Fantasy lineup, presented by fan Duel. It's been

198
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: doing a hang up job for everybody out out there

199
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 1: in fantasy football land all season long. He's got some

200
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: interesting picks this week. We'll go over those with him

201
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 1: in about twenty minutes time. Then second hour of the show,

202
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 1: we welcome back former Jet former Bill leege Doozable. It's

203
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:18,959
Speaker 1: going to kind of give us the lowdown on the Jets.

204
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: Who Steve you know, I was checking some numbers. Five

205
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 1: of their last seven games have been decided by seven

206
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 1: points or less, including the last three in a row.

207
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 1: And while they have only beaten the Texans and the

208
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:38,199
Speaker 1: Jaguars in that stretch, they're playing hard for slid down

209
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:42,719
Speaker 1: the stretch here. Yeah, they showed, they showed some some

210
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 1: real grit against the Buccaneers last week. It was it

211
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,719
Speaker 1: took a last minute drive by Tom Brady to beat him,

212
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 1: and they got beat You've probably all seen it, what

213
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: like a thirty two yard touchdown pass down the right

214
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,319
Speaker 1: sideline with forty three seconds that tom Brady's thrown it

215
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,439
Speaker 1: to some Like I said, some guy I've never heard of.

216
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 1: It took that to beat him this last Sunday. So

217
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 1: there's something in there that gives them some you know,

218
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 1: it gives you some pause. The Bills are like sixteen

219
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 1: point favorites in this game. Yeah, it's crazy. I was

220
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: thinking of I'm not a gambler at all, Brownie. That's

221
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,079
Speaker 1: hard to cover, particularly if the Bills get into the

222
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 1: deep in the third quarter and the Jets offense can't

223
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:34,679
Speaker 1: do anything, then they sit Josh down. You know, Trubisky's

224
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 1: in at halftime. The game's never in doubt, but it's

225
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: it's a double digit. It's like between whatever. You know,

226
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,200
Speaker 1: Jets score late on a defense that's got you know,

227
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,599
Speaker 1: the reserves play, and I don't think he'd cover a

228
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 1: sixteen point spread in Week eighteen. Were the other teams

229
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: just trying to stay healthy and get out of there

230
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 1: with an easy win? Of course? Uh, of course the

231
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 1: Bills played the Dolphins last year in Week seventeen, and

232
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 1: that was a winning in for the Dolphins. If I'm

233
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 1: all right, they might need a little bit of help.

234
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 1: Dolphins need They had a lot on they had a

235
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 1: lot on the line. The Bills blew them out of

236
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 1: the water and still sat people. Uh, even though the Dolphins. Uh,

237
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 1: well that you could argue the Dolphins gave up sooner

238
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,439
Speaker 1: than the Bills did in that game because the Bills

239
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: could take their foot off the gas because they were

240
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,199
Speaker 1: up by so many and then even the backups poured

241
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:28,079
Speaker 1: it on. Yeah, Matt Barkley almost threw for two hundred

242
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 1: yards in the second half. Yet And that's the thing too,

243
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 1: because once you put here, the rule of thumb is this,

244
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 1: and I know that you know every every play and

245
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:43,559
Speaker 1: every team's different. Most coaches, um, if they're gonna put

246
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,439
Speaker 1: their backups in, Like if like the whoever you know,

247
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 1: like the Cincinnati Bengals gonna wrest Joe Burrow, they're gonna

248
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 1: arrest them. Some of these teams are gonna wrest guys.

249
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 1: I get it, but you know what, the guys that

250
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 1: are in there, the coaching staff feels like and rightfully,

251
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 1: so hey, they gotta give those guys who chance to win.

252
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:02,199
Speaker 1: They gotta give him a chance to play. They're not

253
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 1: gonna go in there and have Mitch Trubisky come in

254
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 1: for the like for instance, if the Bills were gonna

255
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 1: rest Josh Allen, they had number one seed, the buy

256
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,959
Speaker 1: all sewed up. If they're gonna rest Josh Allen, they

257
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 1: put Mitch Trubisky in. They're gonna run the offense that

258
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 1: they're gonna run against the New York Jets. They're gonna

259
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 1: let Trubisky throw it thirty five times, they're gonna run

260
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 1: it twenty times, and they're gonna try and win the

261
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 1: game with those guys. So these teams that are resting guys,

262
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 1: or if in the midst of the game, the Bills

263
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 1: get to the point where they're gonna take Josh Allen out.

264
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 1: Trubisky is gonna get a full clip. You know, they're

265
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 1: gonna give him all the ammunition he needs to light

266
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 1: it up. They're not gonna like not. You know, they're

267
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 1: gonna mind their analytics, are gonna go for it on

268
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: fourth when they should. They're gonna give him a chance

269
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 1: to throw it on third and eight. You know, all

270
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: of that stuff. So there is that in there. So

271
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 1: I think that's I think that's the fun part for

272
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 1: the guys who actually have a chance to play, and

273
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 1: for the teams too. I mean, you know how fun

274
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 1: it was last year and we seventeen when the Bills

275
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 1: hung fifty six on the Dolphins. They weren't They went crazy,

276
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: They went crazy. I think, you know that's I think

277
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 1: that's what it should be. That's the way it should be.

278
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 1: If you're gonna give these guys a chance to play,

279
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 1: let them play well. And they did. I mean, Barclay's

280
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 1: dialing up a deep post to Gabriel Davis for a

281
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 1: forty plus yard touchdown the second half, and Antonio Williams

282
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 1: was running wild to the tune of two touchdowns in

283
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, and they win going away. I mean,

284
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 1: they never took their foot off the gas. Even when

285
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 1: the reserves went in, they just kept on rolling. So

286
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 1: I would anticipate the same if in fact comes to

287
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 1: that on Sunday, and you know, guys like Trubisky and

288
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 1: some of the other backups get in there and get

289
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 1: a chance to go right. Yeah, I'm I want to

290
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 1: see this game take take place. But you know, last year,

291
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 1: this week, this last week of the regular or season,

292
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 1: when the Bills were thirteen and three or twelve and

293
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: three at the time. You think back on it, you know, listen,

294
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 1: and last year at this time as well, the Jets

295
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 1: to the New York Football Jets. Where were they at

296
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 1: this time? Do you remember? Oh yeah, they got beat

297
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 1: twenty eight fourteen by the Patriots last year and weeks

298
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 1: on Week eighteen they finished up two and fourteen last year.

299
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 1: Not much has changed for the Jets. They'll have twice

300
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: as many wins. They've already got four. How about this,

301
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 1: If you're Robert Sala and you're trying to inspire your team,

302
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 1: maybe you go with you tell me what you think

303
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 1: of this. Guys got an opportunity here to beat our

304
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 1: third playoff team this season. This third playoff team has

305
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 1: a chance to win their division. We beat the Titans,

306
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 1: they're gonna win their division. We beat the Bengals, they're

307
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 1: gonna win their division. We beat the Bills, they may

308
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: not win their division, you know. I mean, I don't

309
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,199
Speaker 1: know what else you summon up to motivate them, but

310
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 1: that would seem to be a pretty attractive spoiler role

311
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 1: to play. Yeah, I mean, yes, that's true. There's a

312
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 1: lot on the line here for the Bills. Yeah, the

313
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 1: Bills need to win this game, no question about it.

314
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,119
Speaker 1: New England is going to crush the Miami Dolphins tomorrow

315
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:37,119
Speaker 1: on Sunday. I think the Bills have got to do

316
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 1: the same to the Jets and win the division. I mean,

317
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 1: if they don't, all of a sudden, they end up

318
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 1: going the game the next week will probably be in

319
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 1: New England. It will be the Bills in New England

320
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:50,359
Speaker 1: rather than the Bills against New England in Buffalo. I mean,

321
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 1: that's what it looks like, right unless, well unless the

322
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:58,199
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals, resting Joe Burrow, get it handed to him

323
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, the winner of the

324
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,360
Speaker 1: Buffalo New England two games. If it's Buffalo, the Buffalo

325
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 1: Bills go to the three seat. Yes, and they'll probably

326
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:14,159
Speaker 1: end up playing the Indianapolis Colts here, right, depending on

327
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,679
Speaker 1: what happens, right, I mean if yeah, if the Colts

328
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,959
Speaker 1: beat if the Colts beat the Raiders, or if the

329
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:27,680
Speaker 1: Colts beat the Jaguars. Yeah, and then you got to

330
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:31,160
Speaker 1: see how how those last couple of seeds play out.

331
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:33,400
Speaker 1: But I'm I'm interested if I'm the bill isn't going

332
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 1: from four to three. Yeah, And the Bengals are pretty

333
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 1: much offering it up to you with Burrows sitting down,

334
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 1: And they got a bunch of players on their COVID

335
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 1: list right now that they don't know if they're gonna

336
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 1: be available either. Some starting offensive lineman, their main pass rusher,

337
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 1: Trey Hendrickson went on the COVID nineteen list, so they

338
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:54,679
Speaker 1: don't know if they're getting him back, and maybe they

339
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 1: don't really care. They're like, look, we won the division,

340
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 1: we're in at worst were the four, Let's just save

341
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 1: it all up for the postseason. You know, I could

342
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:07,119
Speaker 1: understand that to a certain extent, but I'd want to

343
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:10,120
Speaker 1: get the best seed I can because if things fall

344
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 1: a certain way and you're the three and you're facing

345
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 1: the four, you got a home game right for you know,

346
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,439
Speaker 1: based on how certain things might fall. I mean, the

347
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 1: four if they win, and the two and the three

348
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 1: win as long as you anyway, but particularly in the

349
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: conference the way it's constituted this year and the way

350
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 1: things have happened, any team that keeps winning has a chance.

351
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 1: Except for the seven seed, every team has a chance

352
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 1: to get the AFC Championship game in their building, every

353
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,200
Speaker 1: single one of them. Because there's in a seam. There's

354
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 1: none of these teams that don't think they can beat

355
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 1: any other team in this tournament. On the Anati feels

356
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 1: pretty good about beating Kansas City after just doing it. Yeah,

357
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,399
Speaker 1: you don't. I mean, I'm telling you everybody from the

358
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 1: Chargers all the way to the Titans feel like they

359
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 1: can beat anybody. The Chargers can score with anybody. Indianapolis

360
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 1: can run the football and play defense with anybody. New

361
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:07,640
Speaker 1: England and Buffalo, of course, they feel like they can

362
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 1: play with anybody. Cincinnati, Kansas City, and Tennessee's the one seed.

363
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,679
Speaker 1: All of those teams are gonna feel like. You know,

364
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 1: any team above the seventh seed, if they can get there,

365
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 1: has got an outside chance of any of those other

366
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:25,719
Speaker 1: teams knocking the top seeds out. Yeah, and with it

367
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,919
Speaker 1: as tightly packed as it is, I don't think anybody's

368
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 1: being unrealistic with that viewpoint quite frankly, right. I mean,

369
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 1: you look at it for several weeks. Now, if Buffalo

370
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:40,199
Speaker 1: is the three seed, there's two teams right behind it,

371
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,679
Speaker 1: New England and Indeed that have beaten us. You know,

372
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:46,879
Speaker 1: you're beating the Bills so and Tennessee above them has

373
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 1: beaten Buffalo. So all of those teams feel like they've got,

374
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 1: you know, shot at knocking that team out. So I

375
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 1: just think you gotta play hard at this week eighteen.

376
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:02,359
Speaker 1: You got to get as high as seed as you

377
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,719
Speaker 1: can and get as many home games as you can

378
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 1: get because there's every possible the Buffalo is the three seed.

379
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,640
Speaker 1: You can't tell me that Kansas City in Tennessee are

380
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:17,359
Speaker 1: you know, aren't gonna They're gonna have tough games to

381
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 1: get to get to win two games to get there

382
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 1: to the AFC Championship. Some NFL News and Notes don't

383
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 1: want to spend too much time on this, but Antonio

384
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 1: Brown was finally formally released by the Buccaneers after his

385
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 1: run off the field shirtless episode at Medlife Stadium last weekend.

386
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,639
Speaker 1: He claims that the Bucks pressured him to play with

387
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:47,919
Speaker 1: a severe ankle injury and accuses them of what he

388
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 1: termed an ongoing cover up. The Bucks naturally refuted that

389
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 1: claim and said that Antonio does did have an ankle injury,

390
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 1: but was cleared by doctors to play in the game

391
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:06,120
Speaker 1: and did not voice any inability to play at any

392
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:10,679
Speaker 1: point during that game. I have to say, and I

393
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 1: know I'm probably not alone in this. Antonio Brown isn't

394
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 1: scoring high on the credibility meters, so this claim is

395
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 1: really not going to gain a lot of traction as

396
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 1: much as he would probably want, right, I mean, he's

397
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 1: got there was some screen grabs from text messages and stuff.

398
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,119
Speaker 1: Here's the thing that it boils down to if it

399
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 1: depends on what was said as well when he actually

400
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 1: showed up to play. Now, there was a text conversation

401
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 1: with him and Bruce Arians about hey, we need y'all,

402
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 1: we need you all in and everything, and Antonio Brown

403
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:46,360
Speaker 1: said I'm all in. I want to go. I want

404
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 1: to play. So if he shows up and had told them, hey,

405
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 1: I'm all in, I am ready to go, and certainly

406
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:53,919
Speaker 1: right there as he runs off the field, jogs off.

407
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 1: Doesn't look like his ankles hurting too bad to me.

408
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:59,239
Speaker 1: But now that being said, if he showed up and said, hey,

409
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,200
Speaker 1: I'm good to go, and then out of the blue,

410
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, just said nah, I ain't going, well,

411
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 1: you know, they got every right to be miffed in

412
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:15,400
Speaker 1: a game they needed to win. So you know, if

413
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:17,120
Speaker 1: he just if he showed up and said yeah, I'm

414
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:20,359
Speaker 1: all in and then says no, I'm out, it's too

415
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 1: late then, particularly the game they're trailing the New York

416
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 1: Jets and he finally said, you know what, I'm good.

417
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna sit out. What do you mean you go

418
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:32,200
Speaker 1: sit out? And he can say all he wants about

419
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 1: having this bad ankle. I get it, But the simple

420
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:39,160
Speaker 1: fact of the matter is it's not. You can't tell

421
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 1: him you're good and then tell him you're not after

422
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:44,399
Speaker 1: they've committed to you. You gotta be honest up front.

423
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:48,159
Speaker 1: And if and if he wasn't totally honest, and I

424
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 1: get it, Guys, say, listen, you get out there and

425
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:51,879
Speaker 1: you say, hey, I'm gonna give it a try, and

426
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 1: you go out and say, yeah, I want to try it.

427
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try it and give it a shot. You

428
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 1: gotta give him a shot across the bat and say, listen,

429
00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try it, but it doesn't feel great. And

430
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 1: then you come back said I cannot go. You gotta

431
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 1: tell somebody you cannot go. You can't just all of

432
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,440
Speaker 1: a sudden come up and say I don't want to

433
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 1: go in Yeah, I don't know. I get all that now.

434
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 1: If none of that happened and they're over there, and

435
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 1: they literally are, it's like North Dallas four to the

436
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 1: old nineteen seventies football movie where they're saying, hey, you

437
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:27,399
Speaker 1: either you either get in there or you're done. You know,

438
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:30,159
Speaker 1: we're gonna cut you. I don't care if your ankle's

439
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 1: hurt or not. You know, take a shot or whatever,

440
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 1: take a painkiller. They get on the If they're being

441
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 1: ruthless like that, okay, let me just say this in

442
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 1: today's NFL, I doubt it. I doubt it because if

443
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 1: they're doing that to Antonio Brown, they're probably doing it

444
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 1: to other guys and that just does not fly. You know,

445
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 1: I don't think they singled out Antonio Brown and to

446
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 1: make an example of him, or got so fed up

447
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 1: with him. They're gonna say, hey, that's it. If you

448
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,640
Speaker 1: ain't that, if you know, if you're gonna go, you're

449
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 1: gonna go. We don't care if you're healthy or not. Go.

450
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:07,159
Speaker 1: They're not gonna do that. It's against what they do.

451
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:11,120
Speaker 1: It's against you know, it's against the it's against the

452
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:16,399
Speaker 1: norms of the National Football League, that's for sure. So yeah,

453
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 1: there's it's a situation that stinks to high heaven. And

454
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:21,920
Speaker 1: the simple fact of the matter is that Antonio Brown,

455
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 1: over the last two years, has been in about four

456
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:29,679
Speaker 1: situations like this that have stunk to high heaven, and

457
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:34,879
Speaker 1: he's the only common denominator. Of course, now everybody's worried

458
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,919
Speaker 1: that he's gonna sign with another contending team like the

459
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:43,680
Speaker 1: Chiefs or somebody like that. I'm not one hundred percent

460
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 1: certain that's gonna happen right now. I don't know. You

461
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:50,199
Speaker 1: gotta be insane to sign that guy now, like right

462
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 1: this minute, to help with a playoff push. You gotta

463
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 1: be nuts. I don't know that anybody is in such

464
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:02,160
Speaker 1: a desperate situation that they feel they would need it. Um.

465
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:04,119
Speaker 1: You know, people are like, oh, he's gonna go to

466
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,439
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, and look, I wouldn't rule anything out with

467
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. They've got enough people of questionable background already

468
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 1: on that roster. Right And but but if you've watched

469
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 1: the Chiefs the last few weeks, Byron Pringle has come

470
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 1: on as a receiver for them. He's been a bigger

471
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:22,679
Speaker 1: factor in their passing game of late. He would he

472
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 1: had a huge game when Kelsey was out recently, so

473
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 1: he's played well. They've got supporting role players to help

474
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 1: Hill and Kelsey in that passing game. I just I

475
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:38,680
Speaker 1: don't know. Maybe maybe I'm just being naive, but I'm

476
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 1: with you. I don't think they pick him up. I'm

477
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 1: with you. The Chiefs struggle for about for six weeks

478
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 1: of the season, right, I mean they were like two

479
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:48,439
Speaker 1: and four or something like that. They caught for you,

480
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:50,680
Speaker 1: and then they they caught fire. And now they got

481
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:54,119
Speaker 1: they're not they gonna mess with that. Now they already

482
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 1: had the roster that was a favor to be a

483
00:26:56,640 --> 00:27:00,679
Speaker 1: contender already. They're gonna throw this this lay after they

484
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:02,880
Speaker 1: got this kind of thing going, this chemistry and all

485
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,119
Speaker 1: this stuff going, They're gonna throw that guy into the

486
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:08,400
Speaker 1: middle of it, particularly when he threw his last organization

487
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 1: under the bus. You're gonna sign up for that. You're

488
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:13,679
Speaker 1: gonna sign up for a guy who went to the

489
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:18,879
Speaker 1: Oakland Raiders before you trade, showed up just enough to

490
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,199
Speaker 1: be a part of that team, and then left just

491
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 1: flat left so he could get wall. He just went

492
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 1: a wall. You're gonna sign up for that, because because Brownie,

493
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 1: that's how it's gonna end. Somehow, some way, that guy's

494
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:38,199
Speaker 1: gonna detonate, and that's gonna be it. You don't know

495
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:40,639
Speaker 1: what's gonna look like. It could be an ankle injury

496
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 1: with the Tampa Bay, I get it. It was an

497
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 1: awall situation with the Raiders. It was an absolute clown

498
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 1: show with the Pittsburgh Steelers, and all of that in

499
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 1: his past, let alone, let alone the off the field

500
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:02,959
Speaker 1: allegations of actual him his conduct. So let's all just

501
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:09,679
Speaker 1: let's just sign up our playoff contending team for that. Yeah,

502
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:11,640
Speaker 1: I'd like all the playoff teams to make a pack

503
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 1: to not make him part of the equation this postseason.

504
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 1: I think we'd all do just fine without him. And

505
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 1: I know he's he could very well be dealing with

506
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 1: some issues, and I hope he gets the help that

507
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:23,880
Speaker 1: he needs, because clearly something is not right there. But

508
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:26,880
Speaker 1: I think we'd all be fine if the playoffs did

509
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 1: not include Antonio Brown. And he may that he's done

510
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:32,680
Speaker 1: to the last. He may. He may be there, Brown,

511
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 1: he may have some he may have mental health issues.

512
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 1: He may. I think it says a lot that his

513
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 1: behavior over the last two years has gotten almost everyone

514
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 1: who is in any way, shape or form familiar with

515
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 1: the subject and with his track record over the last

516
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 1: two years. Anybody who has had any slight association or

517
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 1: interest in what's been going with him over the last

518
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 1: two years, everybody says the exact same thing. They bring

519
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 1: up mental health issues. That says something. Are they all wrong?

520
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't think any of us know

521
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 1: him well enough to know. But we'll we'll see where

522
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 1: it goes. I'm sure people will do follow up stories

523
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 1: to see where where his career, whether his career ends now,

524
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 1: or where it goes from here with his personal life,

525
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 1: whatever it is. Hope he gets to help he needs.

526
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 1: We got to take a break here because when we

527
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 1: come back, it's time for ESPN NFL Insider and Fantasy

528
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 1: Football glugu Field Gates and his ultimate Fantasy lineup, presented

529
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 1: by FanDuel coming your way next here on One of

530
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 1: Builds Live, because anybody can lie to help its Buffalo Bills. Fright.

531
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 1: All right, welcome back to One Field's Live. Chris Brown,

532
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker with you, and it is that time in

533
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 1: the show where we get our ultimate fantasy lineup from

534
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 1: NFL insider and fantasy football guru Field Yates from ESPN,

535
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 1: And it is Week eighteen Field. As you know, in

536
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 1: this ultimate fantasy lineup presented by FanDuel, make every moment more.

537
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 1: For some, it is championship week. For some, it's an

538
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 1: opportunity to still submit a lineup and maybe if you

539
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 1: have weekly awards like high Points for the week you get,

540
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 1: you can still win a little bit of money in

541
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 1: your respective leagues here, so all is not lost if

542
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 1: you didn't win the title. That's right. We have some

543
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 1: opportunities here to enjoy your Week eighteen of football even

544
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 1: if you don't have a season long team in which

545
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 1: is why FanDuel does a great job providing you some

546
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 1: of these options. And before I reveal my line, I

547
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 1: want to note that what makes Week eighteen a little

548
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 1: little bit different and in some ways tricky, is that

549
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 1: Thursday conversations can change dramatically by Saturday or Sunday. We

550
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 1: are picking players based off of what we know or

551
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 1: believe will be how they are utilized on Sunday. But

552
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 1: as we learned on Wednesday, as an example, the Bengals

553
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 1: are resting Joe Burrow. We could find out tomorrow that,

554
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 1: you know, maybe who knows, maybe the Vikings are gonna

555
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 1: get Kellen Dmond a game of reps. I think that's unlikely.

556
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 1: I'm just using that as an example of player who

557
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 1: we don't think is going to play right now, but

558
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 1: who could play on Sunday because the Vikings are eliminated

559
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 1: from the playoffs. And if that happens, then we obviously

560
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 1: have to pivot. Which is one of the great things

561
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 1: about Week eighteen is that there are no games until

562
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 1: Saturday this year, so you should have ample time to

563
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 1: pivot and not be stuck in a situation where you

564
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 1: played somebody on Thursday and you're down an extra spot

565
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 1: in your lineup as a result of that, and it

566
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 1: also changes the considerations you have about matchups that are

567
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 1: meaningful versus of team whoever, and I can't even think

568
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 1: off at the top of my head, who was Cincinnati's

569
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 1: playing is that Cleveland. Yeah yeah, so Cincinnati is you know,

570
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 1: to exaggerate to make the point since Cincinnati's laying down,

571
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 1: so Cleveland players may get a bump, that's right, and

572
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:19,720
Speaker 1: they may end up playing against the Bengals second and

573
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 1: third ringers. This may be a fourth preseason game for Cincinnati,

574
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 1: and while Cleveland's not playing for the playoffs, in effect,

575
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 1: it could be a matchup where they are you know, ahead,

576
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 1: or they are potentially the favorites all of a sudden

577
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 1: in this game. So weird stuff happens in Week eighteen,

578
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 1: and obviously there's big playoff implications for Cincinnati and Buffalo.

579
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 1: Buffalo wins, Cincinnati loses, Buffalo goes to three seat as

580
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 1: an example. But we shall see whether or not other

581
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 1: teams followed the Cincinnati game plan and decide to use

582
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 1: Week eighteen is a de facto bye week as opposed

583
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 1: to a week where they can go out there and

584
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 1: improve their playoffs seating by one slot. I think what

585
00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 1: we've realized this year is that homeful to advantage in

586
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 1: the n FELL is not quite negligible, but it's a

587
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 1: lot closer to it compared to where it has been

588
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 1: in previous years, and that might be one of the

589
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 1: reasons why some of these teams are not as worried

590
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 1: about playing their guys in week eighteen. All right, so

591
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 1: let's jump into the lineup here, and I don't think

592
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 1: you have to worry about this guy sitting down that

593
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 1: you have at quarterback, especially in light of Mike Zimmer's

594
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 1: response when he was asked, Mike, you want to get

595
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 1: a look at Kellen Mond and he said, no, don't

596
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 1: need to, and somebody said why he said, I see

597
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 1: him every day. I was like, wow, I couldn't believe it.

598
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 1: It was a great Mike Zimmer line. And one day

599
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 1: about Mike exammer, He's gonna call it how he sees it.

600
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 1: He's not going to mince words, and I actually thought

601
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 1: it was one of those lines. It actually is kind

602
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 1: of useful and instructive because there are times where a

603
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 1: young quarterback is stuck on the bench and we're all

604
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 1: sitting here saying, why aren't you playing that guy? As

605
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 1: a reminder, we don't see these guys every single day

606
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 1: in practice, Like maybe there's a reason why a guy

607
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 1: is stuck on the bench. And Kellen Mond played a

608
00:33:56,360 --> 00:34:00,160
Speaker 1: little bit last week and it wasn't pretty so I'll

609
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 1: be a reason why he won't play. On Sunday, Kirk

610
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 1: Cousins and the Vikings play at Chicago Bears. They play

611
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 1: at home. Whether it's not a concern, even though the

612
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 1: fact that's going to be like incredibly cold in Minnesota,

613
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:14,399
Speaker 1: like we're talking negative twenties some days around this time

614
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:17,360
Speaker 1: of the year just brutal. That being said, it should

615
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 1: be as there's no concerns when you're playing inside the

616
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:23,240
Speaker 1: beautiful Minnesota stadium. Good price point there for Kirk Cousins.

617
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:25,840
Speaker 1: Weird quarterback week this week because of the fact that

618
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:28,799
Speaker 1: there are so many guys that might play but only

619
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:30,360
Speaker 1: play a part of the game. Right, you might have

620
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:33,920
Speaker 1: a situation where a one o'clock game dictates that a

621
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 1: four o'clock game is less meaningful. So let's go with

622
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:38,880
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins. Keep it simple there, And that's going to

623
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 1: be the theme of my week is to try to

624
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:43,879
Speaker 1: find as many players who I know are going to play.

625
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:46,799
Speaker 1: I'm not concerned about them not playing because a playoff seeding, etc.

626
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:49,840
Speaker 1: So I'll roll right from their quarterback into the running backs.

627
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:52,960
Speaker 1: And Antonio Gibson for the Washington football team missed their

628
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:55,319
Speaker 1: game last week, but the four games prior to that,

629
00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:58,759
Speaker 1: he had at least fifteen carries and at least five

630
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:01,880
Speaker 1: catches in three of those four games. That's elite usage

631
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 1: at the running back spot, especially those five catches because

632
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 1: in PPR scoring, which is what FanDuel follows, those five

633
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:10,840
Speaker 1: catches right there get you a five point buffer. So

634
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 1: I expect a big workload again for Antonio Gibson against

635
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:17,279
Speaker 1: the New York Giants, and then my other running back

636
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:18,640
Speaker 1: spot is going to be filled by a guy who's

637
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 1: been a revelation recently. It's Rashad Penny. Priced at seventy

638
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:25,880
Speaker 1: eight hundred dollars for the Seattle Seahawks. Also elite usage.

639
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 1: He has at least one hundred and thirty rushing yards

640
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 1: in three of his past four games. And this week.

641
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:34,239
Speaker 1: You guys know that I typically don't spend as big

642
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 1: on my running backs. Just the way that the models

643
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 1: are working this year, it's more advantageous to pay up

644
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:42,359
Speaker 1: a wide receiver in my estimation, but Rashad Penny has

645
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:45,439
Speaker 1: been great. I would expect that this Seahawks team will

646
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:48,000
Speaker 1: play like they are trying to win. Just knowing the

647
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 1: culture of Pete Carroll, they would love to spoil Arizona's Sunday.

648
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 1: Not that Arizona's out of the playoffs or anything, but

649
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,880
Speaker 1: they could still win the division if they beat Seattle

650
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:00,960
Speaker 1: and the Los Angeles Rams lose to San Francisco forty

651
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,439
Speaker 1: nine or so. A lot of stake there for both

652
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:06,240
Speaker 1: sides and Rashad Penny. What a good story that's been, guys.

653
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 1: A reminder that it's not what you do with the

654
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:12,759
Speaker 1: first opportunity, it's what you do with all opportunities that

655
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:15,799
Speaker 1: follow there. It's interesting too, as you get down through

656
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:17,880
Speaker 1: those running backs, you go to your wide receivers. An

657
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:19,920
Speaker 1: interesting group this week. I know you spend a lot

658
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:21,720
Speaker 1: of money on it. It's the first time all season

659
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:26,280
Speaker 1: we've seen anybody I think worth ten grand. But Cooper

660
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:28,240
Speaker 1: Cup's got to be that guy. Yet for the first

661
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:30,799
Speaker 1: time I think I've remember you've got a buffalo bill

662
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 1: on your wide receiving corps and Stefan Diggs walk us

663
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 1: through the thought process of the three guys you've picked. Yeah, well,

664
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:40,480
Speaker 1: I've tried to weave the bills in there on occasion.

665
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:42,440
Speaker 1: I just try to be a little bit more mindful,

666
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 1: just because you know, we talk about the bills all

667
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:45,799
Speaker 1: the time on this show, so I know you guys

668
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:47,920
Speaker 1: are getting a lot of your conversation and discourse. I

669
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:50,239
Speaker 1: don't want to just bore you with more talk. I'm

670
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 1: player you guys have spent twenty minutes on anyways. But

671
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:55,200
Speaker 1: I'll go top to bottom there and I'll start with

672
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:57,719
Speaker 1: Marcus Kallaway for the same come on recently been a

673
00:36:57,800 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 1: nice player for them. He had a great preseason member

674
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 1: and then kind of started slow out of the gates

675
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:04,360
Speaker 1: during the regular season. But he's been really good recently.

676
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:07,440
Speaker 1: Price is just five nine hundred dollars. Steve, you mentioned

677
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:09,279
Speaker 1: at Cooper Cup, who's been our line up almost every

678
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:13,560
Speaker 1: single week recently. And in daily fantasy, there are two

679
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 1: different styles of daily fantasy. There are tournaments and then

680
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:20,799
Speaker 1: there are cash games. In a tournament, what you're trying

681
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 1: to do is finish in the top x number of places, three, five, ten, fifteen, twenty,

682
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:28,760
Speaker 1: because only twenty players or ten players or five players

683
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:32,120
Speaker 1: or three entrants make money off of the tournament. In

684
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:35,520
Speaker 1: cash games, it's a fifty fifty split. Fifty percent of

685
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 1: the people make money, fifty percent of the people don't

686
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:40,279
Speaker 1: make money. And if you are playing in a cash game.

687
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:42,879
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup has been money in the bank all year

688
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:46,160
Speaker 1: because the flour is high. Right, maybe spending a big price,

689
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:48,720
Speaker 1: but you're not going to have a three point seven

690
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:52,040
Speaker 1: point game or something ridiculous that costs you. Meanwhile, Stefon

691
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:53,840
Speaker 1: dis guys, he's been good all year. You know, the

692
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:56,600
Speaker 1: numbers aren't quite the same levels they were a last year,

693
00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:59,080
Speaker 1: but it's not like Stevan's been a lesser player. He's outstanding.

694
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 1: He's terrific, and the matchup really good on Sunday. The

695
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 1: Jets are playing scrappy defense. I'll give them credit for that,

696
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:06,959
Speaker 1: and this is a team that does not bow down,

697
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:10,560
Speaker 1: but they're overmatching the secondary. There's just not a guy

698
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:13,279
Speaker 1: on that roster that can contain st Fawn. I don't

699
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:15,480
Speaker 1: know what the weather looks like right now for Buffalo

700
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 1: on Sunday, but I'm not concerned about it. You know,

701
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 1: the Bills are capable of throwing in basically anywha. There's fundigs,

702
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:25,319
Speaker 1: really good player, seventy seven hundred dollars enough to make

703
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:27,400
Speaker 1: it worth your while, and wouldn't surprise me if you

704
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:29,600
Speaker 1: finished the season off in style. As we all know,

705
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:31,720
Speaker 1: the Bills I planned to play for at four twenty

706
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:35,320
Speaker 1: five on Sunday afternoon, and then tight end and flex.

707
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:38,319
Speaker 1: While I get the tight end pick, I have to

708
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:40,480
Speaker 1: admit I've been a little ignorant as to what's going

709
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 1: on in Jacksonville and who's kind of flashing coming on

710
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 1: here late, or maybe who might be a favorite target

711
00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:50,719
Speaker 1: of Trevor Lawrence. So maybe explain the flex pick more

712
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 1: than the tight end pick here field. Yeah, the tight

713
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:55,400
Speaker 1: end pick is Zakertz and not a lot of explanation

714
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 1: needed there, right, rock solid player for Arizona since he

715
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:01,359
Speaker 1: got traded there and they've they're gonna have to play

716
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:04,080
Speaker 1: for something on Sunday. They still want to win on Sunday.

717
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:07,560
Speaker 1: But the flex pick is Laquon Treadwell, which probably two

718
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:11,000
Speaker 1: ways to look at this. Laquon Treadwell has been good recently.

719
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:14,319
Speaker 1: He's also right now the Jaguar's best wide receiver at

720
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:18,560
Speaker 1: least most consistent. And here we could talk about Trevor Lawrence.

721
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:21,880
Speaker 1: You guys saw him once earlier on this year. He struggled.

722
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:25,360
Speaker 1: I would say, statistically this season, you just gotta wonder

723
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:27,839
Speaker 1: how much of this is Trevor Lawrence and how much

724
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 1: of this is the surroundings around him. I'm gonna be

725
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:34,839
Speaker 1: of the mind that this is more about the surroundings

726
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:36,880
Speaker 1: and it is Trevor. Like I'm not gonna come to

727
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:42,120
Speaker 1: any conclusion about Trevor Lawrence's outlook, positively or negatively after

728
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 1: this season to Mulligan tomorrow a golf term. But LaQuan

729
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 1: Treadwell has been pretty good player for him. He's been steady.

730
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:50,160
Speaker 1: He's been catching a ton of passes recently. A hard

731
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 1: part is that n score touchdowns, because the Jaguars rarely

732
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:55,839
Speaker 1: score touchdowns. So I've got Laquans Treadwell in there because

733
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:57,719
Speaker 1: his price very well for a guy who sees as

734
00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:01,799
Speaker 1: many targets as he does. Maybe maybe they find the

735
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 1: end zone on Sunday against the Colts, and maybe it's

736
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:06,279
Speaker 1: one of those where they're down by twenty two in

737
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:08,239
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, they score a touchdown and that's all

738
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:09,920
Speaker 1: you need to cash in. It's all you need to

739
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:13,920
Speaker 1: cash in the daily fantasy. So Laquon Treadwell gets my

740
00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:16,960
Speaker 1: pick there to bring things home. And of course then

741
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,399
Speaker 1: with the Atlanta like I think probably Bills fans will

742
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 1: be surprised that you're putting in the Atlanta Falcons defense

743
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:24,000
Speaker 1: on your team, although it's only thirty three hundred dollars.

744
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:30,000
Speaker 1: The Bills rung it up on the Falcons last week.

745
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:33,480
Speaker 1: After turning it over three times and costing themselves a

746
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:36,719
Speaker 1: bunch of points, they still beat the Falcons by two touchdowns.

747
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:41,160
Speaker 1: But it's all about the matchup because the New Orleans

748
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:43,680
Speaker 1: Saints are still going to be struggling offensively. Yeah, I'm

749
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:46,120
Speaker 1: sure Bills fans remember the matchup against the Saints was

750
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:48,440
Speaker 1: that Thanks Give Me night, right, it was Thanksgiving night

751
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:51,719
Speaker 1: and Taysom Hill for four interceptions, a guy who you know,

752
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:55,400
Speaker 1: he's a very fun, useful jack of all trades player,

753
00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 1: but he's not a polished quarterback. So that's the reason

754
00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 1: why I go with the Falcons defense. You know, they

755
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:05,840
Speaker 1: actually you know, I know they ended up really allowed

756
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:08,360
Speaker 1: twenty nine points, but I actually thought there were some

757
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:11,200
Speaker 1: pretty good fight shown by that Falcons defense last week.

758
00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:13,640
Speaker 1: All things considered, right, the Bills are obviously much much

759
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:16,359
Speaker 1: better than they are, but that Falcons defense has played tough.

760
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:18,640
Speaker 1: They've got guys like j Trell on the secondary who

761
00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:21,080
Speaker 1: are finding ways to make plays, and you know, they

762
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:23,000
Speaker 1: got a little bit of pressure on Josh not a

763
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 1: time but a little bit of pressure on Josh. So

764
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 1: I thought that was all useful and definitely the kind

765
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:30,719
Speaker 1: of you know that that's that's the kind of defense

766
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:32,960
Speaker 1: and play that you're looking for as you build towards

767
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 1: your future years. But the prices, again, I'm a punter

768
00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:38,160
Speaker 1: for the most part on defense, but the price is

769
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:40,440
Speaker 1: low enough that, hey, if I get eight points out

770
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:42,239
Speaker 1: of this defense, it's a win. If I get two

771
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:44,160
Speaker 1: points out of this defense, it's okay, because they didn't

772
00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:47,239
Speaker 1: spend any money on right, all right. So that is

773
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:50,800
Speaker 1: the ultimate fantasy lineup for Week eighteen from Field presented

774
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:52,920
Speaker 1: by Fandel make you every moment more last thing for

775
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:55,920
Speaker 1: your field. I you know, you mentioned how Burrow is

776
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:58,799
Speaker 1: sitting down this week, and I you know, maybe they

777
00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:00,600
Speaker 1: got a little skittish with the way that game and

778
00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:03,279
Speaker 1: did he got his knee dinged and protecting him has

779
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:05,719
Speaker 1: been an issue at times for them, So okay, I

780
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:09,160
Speaker 1: guess I can understand it from that point. But the

781
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:13,160
Speaker 1: Bengals actually have an outside look, granted unlikely, but an

782
00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:17,280
Speaker 1: outside look at the top scene and a bye, how

783
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:22,200
Speaker 1: surprised are you that with so much to gain, they're

784
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:24,360
Speaker 1: just saying, no, We're we're gonna nip it in the

785
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 1: bud here and take the pin out of the balloon here. Yeah.

786
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:30,640
Speaker 1: I was a little surprised, not super surprised, only because

787
00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:32,440
Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken, and you can correct me if

788
00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:35,520
Speaker 1: I'm wrong. Here, the number one seed possibility hinges upon

789
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:39,759
Speaker 1: Kansas City losing to Denver, which you know, I think

790
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:43,320
Speaker 1: Kansas City is more likely to win, right, Tennessee losing

791
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:48,080
Speaker 1: to Houston, which I believe is unlike And then if

792
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:51,239
Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken, Buffalo, No, they're they're head of the

793
00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:53,200
Speaker 1: bills right now. Yeah, those are the only two things

794
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:55,640
Speaker 1: that need to happen in addition to them winning. Yeah. Yeah,

795
00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:58,719
Speaker 1: I think it's probably one where they're just sort of

796
00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:00,960
Speaker 1: playing the odds here. And you're right that that hit

797
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:02,600
Speaker 1: at the end of the game last week, like we

798
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:06,279
Speaker 1: don't know how bad it was for Joe Burrow was

799
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:07,960
Speaker 1: at the end of the game, and like you know,

800
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:11,120
Speaker 1: practice reports this week not quite as vital because he's

801
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:12,959
Speaker 1: not going to play. I was surprised. I'm not gonna

802
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:15,840
Speaker 1: lie to you, but I think there is something to

803
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:18,239
Speaker 1: be said for having the bigger picture in mind right now.

804
00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:20,080
Speaker 1: And it seem that the Bengals taking the bigger picture

805
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:22,279
Speaker 1: in mind, or the keeping the bigger picture in mind,

806
00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:25,520
Speaker 1: and the possibility to play meaningful games with Joe Burrow

807
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:27,960
Speaker 1: at full strength as opposed to a game this Sunday

808
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:30,400
Speaker 1: that could be any meaningful could not be meaningful, and

809
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:33,480
Speaker 1: he could potentially risk further injury, especially a guy who

810
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:36,080
Speaker 1: got hurt a little over a year ago and obviously

811
00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:38,040
Speaker 1: had a major, major knee injury that he had to

812
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:40,840
Speaker 1: come back from. Yeah, and in fairness too, they've got

813
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:43,480
Speaker 1: a few players on the COVID reserve list, not the

814
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:45,400
Speaker 1: least of which are a couple of their own starting

815
00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:48,960
Speaker 1: offensive lineman who they may or may not have for

816
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:51,480
Speaker 1: this weekend's game. So I get it. I just found

817
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 1: it interesting with potentially something major to play for, which

818
00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:58,360
Speaker 1: is the only buy in the continent. So that's the

819
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:00,520
Speaker 1: only thing that struck me. Yeah, I think it'd be

820
00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:04,120
Speaker 1: a really interesting Sunday to follow in game how teams

821
00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:07,759
Speaker 1: are handling their roster decisions. And it may be that

822
00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:10,520
Speaker 1: teams that have a chance to clinch but need some

823
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:12,560
Speaker 1: help elsewhere play their guys in the first half and

824
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:14,719
Speaker 1: then say, you know what, we're gonna rest guys. We

825
00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:16,840
Speaker 1: need to be mindful of what's ahead, as we saw,

826
00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:19,359
Speaker 1: you know, with what just one buy available. I think

827
00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:22,919
Speaker 1: teams are realizing more and more that a. I think

828
00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:25,040
Speaker 1: every team is good in the AFC that's gonna make

829
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:27,879
Speaker 1: the playoffs. In my estimation, there's no cake matchup, right.

830
00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:30,400
Speaker 1: I think the only matchup that to me strikes me

831
00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:35,279
Speaker 1: is potentially a softer one is if the Saints make

832
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:37,239
Speaker 1: it in the NFC. I am so impressed with what

833
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:39,080
Speaker 1: the Saints have done this year, but they're just They're

834
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:42,960
Speaker 1: a limited team offensively relative to what San Francisco would

835
00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:44,879
Speaker 1: be if they find a way into the playoffs. So

836
00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:47,080
Speaker 1: that's the only you know, But if the Chargers make

837
00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:49,040
Speaker 1: the playoffs, they can go anywhere and beat anybody, right,

838
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:53,080
Speaker 1: I mean, the Colts can beat anybody, Bills, Patriots, all

839
00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:54,839
Speaker 1: these teams are really good, and I think that goes

840
00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:58,160
Speaker 1: to both conferences. Yeah, and I think the last two

841
00:44:58,200 --> 00:45:00,920
Speaker 1: spots in the AFC you're going to be interested. Certainly

842
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:04,440
Speaker 1: Indianapolis is gonna has got their leg up on that.

843
00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:07,240
Speaker 1: But the La Vegas game, I think is the final

844
00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:09,960
Speaker 1: regular season game. I mean, that's when the playoffs begin,

845
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:13,040
Speaker 1: right there. Yeah, I can't wait to watch that one

846
00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:15,960
Speaker 1: on Sunday night, and you know two teams that if

847
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:17,759
Speaker 1: you had asked me a month ago whether I thought

848
00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:19,279
Speaker 1: they were going to make the playoffs, I would have

849
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:21,720
Speaker 1: said yes for the Chargers and no way for the Raiders.

850
00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:24,080
Speaker 1: Well now it could be that the reverse is true

851
00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:27,200
Speaker 1: if Vegas can hold Serve at home. Really looking forward

852
00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:30,080
Speaker 1: to this matchup, I think the Chargers need to find

853
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:33,440
Speaker 1: a way to like For them, it's about just checking

854
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:38,320
Speaker 1: the boxes, not self inflicting, not doing things to hurt yourself.

855
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:41,080
Speaker 1: For the Raiders need to play like really well. I

856
00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:43,400
Speaker 1: think the Chargers are a better team, especially on offense

857
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:46,400
Speaker 1: if Justin Herbert plays his very best. But the Chargers

858
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:48,960
Speaker 1: have been inconsistent times this year, and defensively they have

859
00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:51,560
Speaker 1: not tightened the screws and the moments they have needed to.

860
00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:53,080
Speaker 1: So looking forward to that one should be a very

861
00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:55,200
Speaker 1: competitive matchup and a great way to finish off the week.

862
00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:58,400
Speaker 1: Thank you, thanks for your help Paul this season. I

863
00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:02,160
Speaker 1: know our fantasy players have apreciated your input, and who knows,

864
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:05,000
Speaker 1: maybe there's some residuals coming your way for those that

865
00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:07,919
Speaker 1: have been able to win their fantasy leagues. You never know.

866
00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:10,120
Speaker 1: I'll take it. I don't know if i'd expect checks

867
00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:12,000
Speaker 1: in the mail, but I'm sure you'll get a healthy

868
00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:13,640
Speaker 1: thank you, So you may just have to take a

869
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:16,120
Speaker 1: hand shake in a beat on the back, I'll take

870
00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:18,719
Speaker 1: a gentlemen. I thank you both for the time every week,

871
00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:21,279
Speaker 1: and hope we're talking again sometime soon, perhaps as soon

872
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:23,319
Speaker 1: as next week. All right, we'll catch up with the field.

873
00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:26,920
Speaker 1: Take care now enjoy the playoffs. That's Field Yates, NFL

874
00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:30,520
Speaker 1: Insider for ESPN as well as Fantasy Football Guru. Will

875
00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:32,239
Speaker 1: take a break, be back with more and here in

876
00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:34,319
Speaker 1: a moment on One Bills Live presented by Collid of Health,

877
00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:49,880
Speaker 1: it's Buffalo Bills Radio. I want come back to One

878
00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:52,920
Speaker 1: Bills Live because perhaps the tasker with you, and we

879
00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:55,840
Speaker 1: wanted to mention this because this is something that I

880
00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:59,239
Speaker 1: had not heard even last year, that the NFL has

881
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:03,799
Speaker 1: alternate nights lined up for Super Bowl fifty six in

882
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:07,320
Speaker 1: case of COVID restrictions in LA. Now it's a mess

883
00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:11,120
Speaker 1: in LA right now, apparently with the COVID positives they're

884
00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:14,280
Speaker 1: getting each and every day. I guess there were two

885
00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:21,120
Speaker 1: thousand positive cases Tuesday in LA County alone, during a

886
00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:24,120
Speaker 1: spike of infections over the past couple of weeks. As

887
00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:26,239
Speaker 1: we know, Steve the Grammys, which was supposed to be

888
00:47:26,320 --> 00:47:29,080
Speaker 1: out there, got canceled. That's not until January thirty first,

889
00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:33,439
Speaker 1: they canceled them already. The Super Bowls only two weeks

890
00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:38,000
Speaker 1: after that. Yeah, yeah, I don't it doesn't look good.

891
00:47:39,040 --> 00:47:42,800
Speaker 1: That's uh yeah. I wonder how they'll handle that. I

892
00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:44,799
Speaker 1: guess some of the alternate sites are the obvious ones.

893
00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:48,160
Speaker 1: You'd take the thing to Florida where they don't have

894
00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:53,000
Speaker 1: any restrictions, either to Tampa Bay or to Miami. I mean,

895
00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:55,360
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to be flippant, but it makes you know, no,

896
00:47:55,520 --> 00:47:58,920
Speaker 1: I know, I know. They've already admitted that they reached

897
00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:02,080
Speaker 1: out to the Cowboys about the availability of AT and

898
00:48:02,120 --> 00:48:06,080
Speaker 1: T Stadium in Arlington, so that apparently is an option

899
00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:10,360
Speaker 1: that they are considering now. Brian McCarthy, who's the NFL

900
00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:14,759
Speaker 1: spokesman and has been for years, he was quoted as saying,

901
00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:17,360
Speaker 1: we plan on playing Super Bowl fifty six as scheduled.

902
00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:20,839
Speaker 1: That's Sofi Stadium in LA on Sunday, February thirteenth. It's

903
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:23,680
Speaker 1: part of our standard contingency planning process that we conduct

904
00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:26,560
Speaker 1: for all regular season in postseason games, We've contacted several

905
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:29,400
Speaker 1: clubs to ask about stadium availability in the event we

906
00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:31,960
Speaker 1: cannot play the Super Bowl as scheduled due to weather

907
00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:35,239
Speaker 1: related issues. Are unforeseen circumstances, Well, the thing's got a

908
00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:38,839
Speaker 1: roof on it, so short of an earthquake, there isn't

909
00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:41,640
Speaker 1: going to be a weather related issue in LA in February.

910
00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:46,280
Speaker 1: And four seen circumstances is the spike lasts into February.

911
00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:49,880
Speaker 1: I guess right, And I didn't realize they do this.

912
00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:52,000
Speaker 1: They do it for every Super Bowl, I guess. I

913
00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:54,080
Speaker 1: guess it kind of rings a bell that they did

914
00:48:54,080 --> 00:48:56,799
Speaker 1: this before, because if you get a storm rolling through

915
00:48:56,840 --> 00:49:00,799
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay, or an earthquake in southern California, or a

916
00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:04,080
Speaker 1: flood in New Orleans or what have you, they've got

917
00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:07,200
Speaker 1: to have a different a contingency because, let's face it,

918
00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:11,600
Speaker 1: they can't if all things being equal, they can't afford

919
00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:14,960
Speaker 1: not to have the game, so they'll put it somewhere

920
00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:21,759
Speaker 1: and because of the TV revenue. So I didn't realize it.

921
00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:24,040
Speaker 1: But this is not new. This is not just because

922
00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:25,719
Speaker 1: of COVID. They do this every year because of weather

923
00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:28,000
Speaker 1: stuff too. Although the COVID thing makes it, I think

924
00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:32,359
Speaker 1: this way more likely. Right. The thing that's peculiar to me, though,

925
00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:35,319
Speaker 1: is along those lines of the planning that you talk

926
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:37,839
Speaker 1: about for a game of this magnitude, with this much

927
00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:41,640
Speaker 1: money and revenue on the line, why aren't those phone

928
00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:46,839
Speaker 1: calls made, you know, September October at the latest. Why

929
00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:49,759
Speaker 1: are you making them now? That's the curious part about

930
00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:53,120
Speaker 1: this whole story. It sounds just like it sounds as

931
00:49:53,160 --> 00:49:56,919
Speaker 1: though these calls are just being made now, These contingency

932
00:49:56,960 --> 00:49:59,880
Speaker 1: plans are just being made now. It seems very reaction

933
00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:04,520
Speaker 1: for something that, as you pointed out Steve, is monumental

934
00:50:04,640 --> 00:50:09,280
Speaker 1: to the annual revenue with Elite. I would say this, Brownie,

935
00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:14,359
Speaker 1: and I don't know anything about anything. Let me just

936
00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:17,920
Speaker 1: say this. If you're going to make contingencies for a

937
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:21,880
Speaker 1: stadium the magnitude of AT and T or Raymond James

938
00:50:22,040 --> 00:50:28,680
Speaker 1: or hard Rock down in Miami, you probably gott to

939
00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:32,320
Speaker 1: write a check to make sure that thing stays open.

940
00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:37,000
Speaker 1: And they don't, Okay. I would imagine they wait as

941
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:42,440
Speaker 1: long as they can to write that check or to

942
00:50:42,520 --> 00:50:46,880
Speaker 1: make that possible. Yeah, I mean, I don't know what

943
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:50,600
Speaker 1: precludes you from just getting a written agreement with AT

944
00:50:50,719 --> 00:50:52,919
Speaker 1: and T Stadium, saying the super Bowl will be played

945
00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:55,920
Speaker 1: in LA on this date if for some artin four

946
00:50:55,960 --> 00:50:59,040
Speaker 1: sen circumstance it can't be played at and T Stadium

947
00:50:59,080 --> 00:51:02,840
Speaker 1: will host the event and will be compensated X to

948
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:06,279
Speaker 1: do so everybody signs off on it. I mean, you

949
00:51:06,280 --> 00:51:10,360
Speaker 1: could do that, you know, anytime, right. I find it

950
00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:16,600
Speaker 1: very interesting they're calling around now that maybe that's maybe

951
00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:18,799
Speaker 1: maybe that's the way it's done. I don't know. Maybe

952
00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:21,800
Speaker 1: maybe the time frame is like a month in advance

953
00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:25,200
Speaker 1: for something as a contingency, because I'm sure there and

954
00:51:25,239 --> 00:51:27,719
Speaker 1: I don't know anything. Like I said, I'm once again,

955
00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:29,719
Speaker 1: I don't know anything about anything. But I'm sure insurance

956
00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:33,200
Speaker 1: policies are involved as well, insurance premiums and stuff like that,

957
00:51:33,239 --> 00:51:37,680
Speaker 1: because they got to insure certain things happen. Plus, it's

958
00:51:37,719 --> 00:51:39,319
Speaker 1: also got to be in a place where they've got

959
00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:41,440
Speaker 1: enough hotel rooms and all that other stuff. It's got

960
00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:46,000
Speaker 1: to be an infrastructure ready city without having that doesn't

961
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:49,000
Speaker 1: have anything else going on in it. So yeah, I

962
00:51:49,440 --> 00:51:54,319
Speaker 1: don't Maybe an event the size of the Super Bowl

963
00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:57,319
Speaker 1: doesn't have to really clear the runway. All they have

964
00:51:57,400 --> 00:52:00,960
Speaker 1: to do is make a phone call. Yeah, but either

965
00:52:01,040 --> 00:52:04,440
Speaker 1: that or either that or Lennyan scheduling screwed up loyally

966
00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:07,000
Speaker 1: with contingency. I get I get your point, though, I mean, right,

967
00:52:07,040 --> 00:52:09,279
Speaker 1: don't you like don't you do? I get it right?

968
00:52:09,320 --> 00:52:12,080
Speaker 1: When the schedule comes out and you reward the super Bowl,

969
00:52:12,280 --> 00:52:16,279
Speaker 1: don't you start thinking about alternate sites like three years ago. Yeah,

970
00:52:16,440 --> 00:52:18,720
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. That's why it strikes me as strange.

971
00:52:18,719 --> 00:52:20,359
Speaker 1: But yeah, like I said, it could be a very

972
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:23,239
Speaker 1: simple clerical or Lenney and scheduling forgot to make the

973
00:52:23,320 --> 00:52:25,600
Speaker 1: calls and now they're scrambling to make them. All Right,

974
00:52:25,640 --> 00:52:27,480
Speaker 1: we gotta take a break here. When we come back,

975
00:52:27,800 --> 00:52:33,040

981
00:53:03,719 --> 00:53:05,560
Speaker 1: of unique. He was kind of a dual role player

00:53:05,640 --> 00:53:11,800
Speaker 1: for you, Steve a blimp. We're not even in the

983

Speaker 1: holiday in New year? Get get you off to the

990
00:53:39,120 --> 00:53:43,000
Speaker 1: right start here in twenty twenty two. Yeah, Chris, it's

991
00:53:43,040 --> 00:53:44,960
Speaker 1: good to see you when Steve again, And it's been

992
00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:46,759
Speaker 1: a medi since I've been on here with you guys.

993
00:53:46,760 --> 00:53:49,200
Speaker 1: I believe earlier in the season. I came on when

994
00:53:49,239 --> 00:53:51,600
Speaker 1: the Bills and Jets played earlier, right, But yeah, the

995
00:53:51,640 --> 00:53:53,759
Speaker 1: holiday season was great for me. Was able to spend

996
00:53:53,800 --> 00:53:56,600
Speaker 1: some time. But family, I know, we're all dealing with this,

997
00:53:56,680 --> 00:54:01,240
Speaker 1: you know, crazy COVID disease still in two and different

998
00:54:01,280 --> 00:54:03,799
Speaker 1: strands and things of that nature. So yeah, I kept

999
00:54:03,800 --> 00:54:06,839
Speaker 1: it real small, just intimate family setting. But it wasn't

1000
00:54:06,840 --> 00:54:10,319
Speaker 1: good holidays. How are your holidays around there up there

1001
00:54:10,320 --> 00:54:13,719
Speaker 1: in Buffalo? We did okay for the most part, I think, right, Yeah,

1002
00:54:13,719 --> 00:54:16,000
Speaker 1: we hung in Yeah, it was good. I had to

1003
00:54:16,040 --> 00:54:19,719
Speaker 1: be overall a big positive of course, the Bills are

1004
00:54:19,760 --> 00:54:21,400
Speaker 1: sitting at a different place than the Jets, and it

1005
00:54:21,440 --> 00:54:24,239
Speaker 1: was easy to kind of do these shows when the

1006
00:54:24,280 --> 00:54:25,880
Speaker 1: Bills are playing and going through a little bit of

1007
00:54:25,920 --> 00:54:29,640
Speaker 1: a wind streak. The Jets, we're watching them from a

1008
00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:32,000
Speaker 1: foreign Obviously, the Jets didn't win enough games this year.

1009
00:54:32,040 --> 00:54:34,600
Speaker 1: They want to win more than that, but Robert Salaz

1010
00:54:34,680 --> 00:54:37,880
Speaker 1: got them playing and they took the World champions to

1011
00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:41,680
Speaker 1: the wire last week. Tell us about the vibe that's

1012
00:54:41,680 --> 00:54:44,239
Speaker 1: coming out of the Jet organization right now about not

1013
00:54:44,280 --> 00:54:46,320
Speaker 1: only how this year's going and this week's gonna go

1014
00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:51,960
Speaker 1: against Buffalo, but going forward. Yeah, they believe the foundation

1015
00:54:52,080 --> 00:54:55,040
Speaker 1: has been set. They've had a really good rookie draft

1016
00:54:55,080 --> 00:54:58,160
Speaker 1: class this last year. Zach Wilson has come on as

1017
00:54:58,160 --> 00:55:01,240
Speaker 1: of Laton. You stated as the took the Super Bowl

1018
00:55:01,280 --> 00:55:04,120
Speaker 1: champs to the wire. I know the fourth and two

1019
00:55:04,280 --> 00:55:06,920
Speaker 1: talk down has talked about a lot this week of

1020
00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:09,080
Speaker 1: what happened on fourth and two because the Dutch had

1021
00:55:09,120 --> 00:55:11,520
Speaker 1: a potential to put that game away and beat the

1022
00:55:11,880 --> 00:55:15,160
Speaker 1: defending Super Bowl champs. But the foundation has been set.

1023
00:55:15,400 --> 00:55:18,640
Speaker 1: They've gotten great contributions from Michael Carter, the running back,

1024
00:55:18,680 --> 00:55:22,160
Speaker 1: Michael Carter the corner at the slot position. Brendon Eagles,

1025
00:55:22,160 --> 00:55:24,359
Speaker 1: a guy that was a sixth round pick, has had

1026
00:55:24,360 --> 00:55:26,320
Speaker 1: two picks and I believe the last three weeks, so

1027
00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:29,400
Speaker 1: he's come on strong. Bryce Hall is one of the

1028
00:55:29,440 --> 00:55:32,200
Speaker 1: top five corners and passes defended this year, and he

1029
00:55:32,239 --> 00:55:34,840
Speaker 1: had a really good battle with Mike Evans this past

1030
00:55:34,880 --> 00:55:38,000
Speaker 1: Sunday Verse the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. So and C. J.

1031
00:55:38,160 --> 00:55:41,160
Speaker 1: Mosey returned to Pro Bowl status form. We know he

1032
00:55:41,280 --> 00:55:43,680
Speaker 1: missed most of twenty nineteen, got hurt in that first

1033
00:55:43,680 --> 00:55:46,359
Speaker 1: half Verse the Bills, and then opted out last year,

1034
00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:49,080
Speaker 1: but he's come back. Lowsome weight has looked really good.

1035
00:55:49,400 --> 00:55:52,080
Speaker 1: I was voted a Pro Bowl alternate, so that shows

1036
00:55:52,080 --> 00:55:54,400
Speaker 1: you what his peers and coaches think about him. For

1037
00:55:54,480 --> 00:55:57,439
Speaker 1: a team that's only has won four games this year,

1038
00:55:57,719 --> 00:56:00,200
Speaker 1: Quinny Williams looks like he might be back this week.

1039
00:56:00,400 --> 00:56:03,160
Speaker 1: First the Buffalo Bills is also voted a Pro Bowl alternate,

1040
00:56:03,200 --> 00:56:05,680
Speaker 1: so they have some foundational pieces. There's a lot of

1041
00:56:05,719 --> 00:56:08,359
Speaker 1: excitement around this young team and they felt like the

1042
00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:11,880
Speaker 1: ground has been set for them to keep evolving and

1043
00:56:12,440 --> 00:56:15,359
Speaker 1: keep progressing for the years to come, and they plan

1044
00:56:15,480 --> 00:56:19,520
Speaker 1: to be playing meaningful games next year around December and January.

1045
00:56:20,280 --> 00:56:23,200
Speaker 1: So Zach Wilson comes back into the lineup after that

1046
00:56:23,280 --> 00:56:27,680
Speaker 1: knee injury, and you know it takes a few weeks,

1047
00:56:27,680 --> 00:56:29,359
Speaker 1: but it looks as though, and I know a lot

1048
00:56:29,400 --> 00:56:31,920
Speaker 1: of people down there watching the games every week, I

1049
00:56:32,080 --> 00:56:34,360
Speaker 1: feel that some of his past couple of weeks have

1050
00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:38,799
Speaker 1: been some of his more consistent football, down to down,

1051
00:56:38,920 --> 00:56:41,080
Speaker 1: series to series. I know he hasn't turned it over

1052
00:56:41,120 --> 00:56:43,120
Speaker 1: in four games, hasn't thrown a pick in one hundred

1053
00:56:43,120 --> 00:56:47,279
Speaker 1: and thirty six attempts. So what is better about his

1054
00:56:47,400 --> 00:56:49,640
Speaker 1: game now that maybe you didn't see first half of

1055
00:56:49,640 --> 00:56:53,279
Speaker 1: the season before the injury. Yeah, the thing about Zach

1056
00:56:53,320 --> 00:56:55,480
Speaker 1: Wilson and you have a rookie quarterback, you know there's

1057
00:56:55,520 --> 00:56:58,000
Speaker 1: going to be some highs and some lows. So beginning

1058
00:56:58,000 --> 00:57:00,640
Speaker 1: of the year, didn't really trust the pocket, was leaving

1059
00:57:00,680 --> 00:57:04,200
Speaker 1: the pocket too early, bailing out, relying on his athleticism

1060
00:57:04,200 --> 00:57:06,120
Speaker 1: in his big arm. But now he's starting to play

1061
00:57:06,239 --> 00:57:08,360
Speaker 1: within the offense. And he stated it he had the

1062
00:57:08,440 --> 00:57:10,319
Speaker 1: knee injury, so it took him about one or two

1063
00:57:10,320 --> 00:57:13,040
Speaker 1: weeks coming back from the knee injury. But this past

1064
00:57:13,239 --> 00:57:16,840
Speaker 1: game versus Tempa Bay Buccaneers was undoubtedly his best game

1065
00:57:16,840 --> 00:57:19,040
Speaker 1: of the season, Chris. He was on point with the

1066
00:57:19,040 --> 00:57:21,200
Speaker 1: football when it came to accuracy. And then this Michael

1067
00:57:21,240 --> 00:57:23,960
Speaker 1: Laflor's offense, So it's that backfoot hits, that ball has

1068
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:26,240
Speaker 1: to come out right. It's a timing based offense, and

1069
00:57:26,320 --> 00:57:28,160
Speaker 1: he know where to go with the football. But I

1070
00:57:28,160 --> 00:57:30,640
Speaker 1: think the thing that really stood out to me was

1071
00:57:30,680 --> 00:57:34,520
Speaker 1: his anticipation that took another step this past Sunday versus

1072
00:57:34,520 --> 00:57:36,600
Speaker 1: Tempa Bay Bucks. There was a couple throws in that

1073
00:57:36,640 --> 00:57:38,440
Speaker 1: game that were big time. I mean the third and

1074
00:57:38,480 --> 00:57:41,160
Speaker 1: ten pass to Kenny Yaboa down the scene where he

1075
00:57:41,200 --> 00:57:43,880
Speaker 1: threw it away from the safety to protect Kenny Yaboa,

1076
00:57:44,200 --> 00:57:46,440
Speaker 1: the pass on first and ten on the slam route

1077
00:57:46,560 --> 00:57:48,919
Speaker 1: to Braxon Burrios where he had to use a side

1078
00:57:49,040 --> 00:57:51,200
Speaker 1: arm angle to get it to where only Brexon Burrios

1079
00:57:51,360 --> 00:57:53,200
Speaker 1: held catch it. And then the throw right after that

1080
00:57:53,240 --> 00:57:55,840
Speaker 1: in the third quarter to Keila Cole the skinny post

1081
00:57:56,080 --> 00:58:00,200
Speaker 1: over the linebacker Devin White's fingertips before the safety hits

1082
00:58:00,280 --> 00:58:01,720
Speaker 1: him in stride and they get the ball down to

1083
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:05,320
Speaker 1: the one yard ward yard line and scored two plays later.

1084
00:58:05,440 --> 00:58:08,120
Speaker 1: So I just think his progression within the pocket has

1085
00:58:08,160 --> 00:58:10,160
Speaker 1: grown so much since the beginning of the year. In

1086
00:58:10,240 --> 00:58:12,120
Speaker 1: the beginning of the year, he just really relied on

1087
00:58:12,120 --> 00:58:14,720
Speaker 1: his athletic athletic ability. He went back out of the

1088
00:58:14,760 --> 00:58:17,440
Speaker 1: pocket instead of step up. But now he's trusting his

1089
00:58:17,480 --> 00:58:20,040
Speaker 1: offensive line, trusting the system, and he's getting that ball

1090
00:58:20,080 --> 00:58:22,720
Speaker 1: out of his hands really quick. Who else besides Zack

1091
00:58:22,800 --> 00:58:26,080
Speaker 1: Wilson has started to play better and emerge as a

1092
00:58:26,120 --> 00:58:30,160
Speaker 1: guy that's probably maybe a foundational piece going forward for

1093
00:58:30,200 --> 00:58:34,400
Speaker 1: the Jets. Well, we talked about Michael Carter earlier and

1094
00:58:34,400 --> 00:58:37,040
Speaker 1: he missed last or he got hurt with the concussion,

1095
00:58:37,040 --> 00:58:39,200
Speaker 1: but it looks like he may still play this week

1096
00:58:39,440 --> 00:58:42,960
Speaker 1: first the Buffalo Bills. I believe he's solidified himself as

1097
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:45,480
Speaker 1: the premier back for the New York Jets, one of

1098
00:58:45,480 --> 00:58:47,640
Speaker 1: the top backs as far as catching the ball out

1099
00:58:47,640 --> 00:58:50,520
Speaker 1: of the backfield and being able to run between the tackles. Now,

1100
00:58:50,520 --> 00:58:52,600
Speaker 1: he's not the biggest guy in the world, but this

1101
00:58:52,640 --> 00:58:55,840
Speaker 1: guy's contact balance is great. Like every time you see

1102
00:58:55,960 --> 00:58:58,280
Speaker 1: and turn on the film, he never goes down on

1103
00:58:58,320 --> 00:59:01,560
Speaker 1: first contact. He always bounces off the first defender, and

1104
00:59:01,600 --> 00:59:04,040
Speaker 1: then he is a mismatch in the passing games, more

1105
00:59:04,040 --> 00:59:07,120
Speaker 1: specifically on third down side of the backfields. That'll be

1106
00:59:07,160 --> 00:59:08,720
Speaker 1: something to watch. I know Matt Malone is one of

1107
00:59:08,760 --> 00:59:11,800
Speaker 1: the best covering linebackers in all of football, so if

1108
00:59:11,800 --> 00:59:13,800
Speaker 1: he's able to go this week, that'll be a matchup

1109
00:59:13,800 --> 00:59:15,600
Speaker 1: to watch on third down because they like to get

1110
00:59:15,680 --> 00:59:17,840
Speaker 1: him on some of those angle routs. And a guy

1111
00:59:17,840 --> 00:59:20,080
Speaker 1: that's really stepped up with all the injuries to receivers,

1112
00:59:20,080 --> 00:59:22,760
Speaker 1: it's Braxton Burials, and I believe the Deaths are already

1113
00:59:22,760 --> 00:59:25,080
Speaker 1: in talks with him as far as maybe getting him

1114
00:59:25,080 --> 00:59:27,440
Speaker 1: a new contract. He should have been voted in as

1115
00:59:27,480 --> 00:59:30,720
Speaker 1: the AFC Pro Bowler as a return specialist. This travesty

1116
00:59:30,800 --> 00:59:33,400
Speaker 1: that he wasn't. He was voted as a first team alternate.

1117
00:59:33,440 --> 00:59:35,480
Speaker 1: But he's come on Lake as a receiver. And I

1118
00:59:35,520 --> 00:59:38,200
Speaker 1: think the thing that goes with Braxton Burials is the

1119
00:59:38,200 --> 00:59:41,000
Speaker 1: word trust. I believe the coaching staff trust him. I

1120
00:59:41,040 --> 00:59:43,200
Speaker 1: believe Zack Wilson trust him. And you can see it

1121
00:59:43,480 --> 00:59:45,880
Speaker 1: in the game VERSH Jacksonville when the Deaths were trying

1122
00:59:45,920 --> 00:59:47,880
Speaker 1: to put the game away. The first two players are

1123
00:59:47,960 --> 00:59:51,160
Speaker 1: that that last drive went to Braxton Burials. One was

1124
00:59:51,160 --> 00:59:53,200
Speaker 1: an end a round and one was a screenplay. And

1125
00:59:53,240 --> 00:59:55,960
Speaker 1: that's because they trust him to make the plays an

1126
00:59:55,960 --> 00:59:57,960
Speaker 1: open field, and when there's a play that has to

1127
00:59:58,000 --> 01:00:01,000
Speaker 1: be made, that's where the coach staff goes with the football.

1128
01:00:01,040 --> 01:00:02,960
Speaker 1: Even on that fourth and two played, that play was

1129
01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:05,080
Speaker 1: supposed to go to Brexon Burials on the speed sleep club.

1130
01:00:05,120 --> 01:00:07,200
Speaker 1: That lets you know how much trust that they have

1131
01:00:07,280 --> 01:00:10,800
Speaker 1: in Brexon Burrios and then Leja. I know there's a

1132
01:00:10,840 --> 01:00:13,440
Speaker 1: little bit of an issue at left tackle. We already

1133
01:00:13,480 --> 01:00:15,440
Speaker 1: know Beckton's been out for the year with a season

1134
01:00:15,480 --> 01:00:19,480
Speaker 1: long injury that you ended up putting him on season

1135
01:00:19,600 --> 01:00:22,320
Speaker 1: ending injured reserve even though he was initially expected to

1136
01:00:22,360 --> 01:00:25,600
Speaker 1: be back mid season. Now you've got George Fant who

1137
01:00:25,600 --> 01:00:28,640
Speaker 1: goes down with the knee injury, he's on IRY. And

1138
01:00:28,640 --> 01:00:31,720
Speaker 1: then even Truma Adoga, who comes into the game last

1139
01:00:31,800 --> 01:00:34,440
Speaker 1: year now has popped up with an injury of his

1140
01:00:34,480 --> 01:00:37,960
Speaker 1: own didn't practice yesterday. Are we looking at former Bill

1141
01:00:38,080 --> 01:00:42,479
Speaker 1: Connor McDermott at left tackle on Sunday? You think we'll see,

1142
01:00:42,480 --> 01:00:45,240
Speaker 1: I mean Tuma came in last week and we'll see

1143
01:00:45,280 --> 01:00:48,520
Speaker 1: what you know, the injury status is going forward today

1144
01:00:48,520 --> 01:00:50,760
Speaker 1: and tomorrow whether he plays. But Connor McDermott is a

1145
01:00:50,800 --> 01:00:53,240
Speaker 1: guy that had to start the Miami game because George

1146
01:00:53,280 --> 01:00:55,760
Speaker 1: Fant was certain And it just sucks because George Fant

1147
01:00:55,920 --> 01:00:57,600
Speaker 1: had a Pro Bowl type yr. I believe he only

1148
01:00:57,600 --> 01:01:00,440
Speaker 1: gave up one sec this whole season. I think under

1149
01:01:00,480 --> 01:01:03,200
Speaker 1: fifteen pressures for the whole year, So he was playing

1150
01:01:03,200 --> 01:01:04,840
Speaker 1: at a very high level. And I know a lot

1151
01:01:04,840 --> 01:01:08,840
Speaker 1: of people were banking on, you know, McKay Beckton solidifying

1152
01:01:08,920 --> 01:01:11,080
Speaker 1: and stuff at the left tackle position, but I believe

1153
01:01:11,120 --> 01:01:13,880
Speaker 1: George fannas solidified itself as a left tackle for the

1154
01:01:13,960 --> 01:01:17,840
Speaker 1: Jets going forward. Honestly, I believe that McKay Beckton should

1155
01:01:17,880 --> 01:01:20,200
Speaker 1: move to a right tackle, especially in this system with

1156
01:01:20,520 --> 01:01:23,520
Speaker 1: this Michaelafore's zone scheme. I believe the right tackle right

1157
01:01:23,680 --> 01:01:26,200
Speaker 1: is more of your run blocking tight in your road grader.

1158
01:01:26,240 --> 01:01:29,200
Speaker 1: I believe mickay Beckton would fit perfectly in that situation.

1159
01:01:29,240 --> 01:01:35,160
Speaker 1: So McDermot could potentially slide into that left tackle spot.

1160
01:01:35,200 --> 01:01:37,160
Speaker 1: Now they use them a lot last week, and you

1161
01:01:37,200 --> 01:01:40,400
Speaker 1: know extra tackle situation, so like twelve team when we

1162
01:01:40,400 --> 01:01:43,320
Speaker 1: bring an extra offensive lineman in Konam, you know McDermott

1163
01:01:43,320 --> 01:01:44,920
Speaker 1: came in. So this is a guy that had to

1164
01:01:45,040 --> 01:01:47,440
Speaker 1: start the Miami game, had a little had some struggles

1165
01:01:47,480 --> 01:01:51,160
Speaker 1: in that game. But we'll see what Chuma and the

1166
01:01:51,560 --> 01:01:54,880
Speaker 1: injury designation is going, you know, forward for Thursday and

1167
01:01:54,920 --> 01:01:56,800
Speaker 1: Friday and Saturday. As we lead up to the game.

1168
01:01:56,960 --> 01:01:59,760
Speaker 1: I would say chumas start to be practices Friday. If not,

1169
01:01:59,840 --> 01:02:02,720
Speaker 1: I would probably lean towards Connor McDermot starting that left

1170
01:02:02,760 --> 01:02:05,120
Speaker 1: tackle for the Jets this Sunday versu the Bills. I

1171
01:02:05,160 --> 01:02:06,800
Speaker 1: know how you guys are. You're you're the same as

1172
01:02:06,920 --> 01:02:08,880
Speaker 1: you kind of suffer from. You know, you know a

1173
01:02:08,880 --> 01:02:10,520
Speaker 1: lot about the Jets, and we know a ton about

1174
01:02:10,560 --> 01:02:14,160
Speaker 1: the Bills. But from your perspective, you're the Jets coming

1175
01:02:14,200 --> 01:02:16,959
Speaker 1: into Buffalo. What what do you think the Jets see

1176
01:02:17,080 --> 01:02:19,760
Speaker 1: in Buffalo? With Josh Allen and this crew here headed

1177
01:02:19,760 --> 01:02:22,640
Speaker 1: into the playoffs, gonna try and win the division. How

1178
01:02:22,640 --> 01:02:24,920
Speaker 1: do you think this matchup's gonna look versus you know,

1179
01:02:24,920 --> 01:02:27,360
Speaker 1: with the strengths and weaknesses of the Jets up against

1180
01:02:27,400 --> 01:02:29,160
Speaker 1: the strengths and weaknesses of the Bills. What do you

1181
01:02:29,160 --> 01:02:31,520
Speaker 1: think this game will look like? Forget about the score.

1182
01:02:31,560 --> 01:02:35,120
Speaker 1: I just want to think tactically, Yeah, yeah, to me,

1183
01:02:35,200 --> 01:02:37,440
Speaker 1: it comes down to ken the Jets tackle in space

1184
01:02:37,480 --> 01:02:40,120
Speaker 1: with the offensive weapons the Bills have on the outside.

1185
01:02:40,160 --> 01:02:42,760
Speaker 1: That's gonna be the biggest issue in that first meeting.

1186
01:02:42,800 --> 01:02:44,720
Speaker 1: You know, Brandon Eakles got hurt pretty early in that

1187
01:02:44,800 --> 01:02:48,120
Speaker 1: game and Girdre came in and Josh Allen and Stefan

1188
01:02:48,200 --> 01:02:50,680
Speaker 1: Diggs took full advantage of that. So we'll see this

1189
01:02:50,720 --> 01:02:53,200
Speaker 1: week will they move Rice Hall to Stefan Diggs and

1190
01:02:53,240 --> 01:02:56,000
Speaker 1: get him the one on one situation. Robert Sala hasn't

1191
01:02:56,040 --> 01:02:58,280
Speaker 1: routinely done that. He doesn't do that in the system,

1192
01:02:58,520 --> 01:03:00,600
Speaker 1: But I think it's something too. Maybe I on this week,

1193
01:03:00,640 --> 01:03:02,680
Speaker 1: just because it's the last week of the season. I

1194
01:03:02,720 --> 01:03:05,919
Speaker 1: thinks Brysall has kind of exerted itself as a number

1195
01:03:05,960 --> 01:03:08,400
Speaker 1: one corner on this defense. Now, the thing about Bryce

1196
01:03:08,440 --> 01:03:09,880
Speaker 1: Hall is you just want him to be able to

1197
01:03:09,880 --> 01:03:12,280
Speaker 1: take the ball away more does a great job knocking

1198
01:03:12,320 --> 01:03:13,800
Speaker 1: the ball down. You just want him to steal a

1199
01:03:13,840 --> 01:03:17,040
Speaker 1: couple opportunities for the defense. So to me, that's gonna

1200
01:03:17,040 --> 01:03:19,960
Speaker 1: be a major issue. Right, can the Jets tackle in

1201
01:03:20,040 --> 01:03:22,720
Speaker 1: space verse these pass catchers on the outside for the

1202
01:03:22,720 --> 01:03:25,160
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills, And we all know the Jets of struggles

1203
01:03:25,200 --> 01:03:27,320
Speaker 1: stopping the run, But the thing is the Bills having

1204
01:03:27,360 --> 01:03:29,800
Speaker 1: a routinely run the ball that effectively throughout the year. Now,

1205
01:03:29,880 --> 01:03:32,600
Speaker 1: last week they showed really well, you know, Devin Singletary

1206
01:03:32,640 --> 01:03:34,680
Speaker 1: had a really good game running the football, and then

1207
01:03:34,720 --> 01:03:36,960
Speaker 1: games when they've been close, like the Tampa Bay game

1208
01:03:36,960 --> 01:03:39,040
Speaker 1: in the second half, when the Bills got going, it's

1209
01:03:39,040 --> 01:03:41,920
Speaker 1: because of the run game with Matt Breeder, with Singletary

1210
01:03:41,960 --> 01:03:44,280
Speaker 1: and even Josh Allen using his legs. So I want

1211
01:03:44,280 --> 01:03:46,880
Speaker 1: to see if Brian day Ball will insert more of

1212
01:03:46,920 --> 01:03:49,560
Speaker 1: the run game this week because they had so much

1213
01:03:49,560 --> 01:03:53,440
Speaker 1: success last week with the weather elements versus Atlanta, with

1214
01:03:53,560 --> 01:03:56,400
Speaker 1: potential weather elements this week, will they be able to

1215
01:03:56,480 --> 01:03:59,400
Speaker 1: run the ball versus this Jets defense who has struggled

1216
01:03:59,560 --> 01:04:01,160
Speaker 1: in the run game, so that could be an issue

1217
01:04:01,200 --> 01:04:03,400
Speaker 1: as well. Yeah, that was gonna be my next question

1218
01:04:03,440 --> 01:04:07,080
Speaker 1: because the Bill's best yards per carry average this season

1219
01:04:07,280 --> 01:04:09,640
Speaker 1: in games where they've had at least twenty carries was

1220
01:04:09,680 --> 01:04:13,560
Speaker 1: in Week ten against the Jets, and they didn't just

1221
01:04:13,720 --> 01:04:16,440
Speaker 1: use the backs. They were using Emmanuel Sanders and Isaiah

1222
01:04:16,520 --> 01:04:19,400
Speaker 1: McKenzie on those end of rounds and the Jets sweeps

1223
01:04:19,480 --> 01:04:22,520
Speaker 1: one win for a touchdown that Isaiah McKenzie had from

1224
01:04:22,520 --> 01:04:25,600
Speaker 1: eight yards out. So my question was gonna be has

1225
01:04:25,640 --> 01:04:29,560
Speaker 1: the Jets defense improved to any degree since that time?

1226
01:04:29,680 --> 01:04:31,920
Speaker 1: Have they have they been able to tie anything down?

1227
01:04:33,200 --> 01:04:35,160
Speaker 1: I defin played better the last two weeks versus the

1228
01:04:35,200 --> 01:04:37,840
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Bucks team who didn't have Linen for a net,

1229
01:04:37,840 --> 01:04:39,800
Speaker 1: they played really well against the run. Now, they were

1230
01:04:39,920 --> 01:04:42,240
Speaker 1: up big in that game fourteen, I believe in the

1231
01:04:42,320 --> 01:04:44,640
Speaker 1: third quarter, and then Tom Brady kind of took over

1232
01:04:44,880 --> 01:04:46,800
Speaker 1: and they kind of went away from the run. But

1233
01:04:46,960 --> 01:04:49,520
Speaker 1: you know, Jackson Village, Jacksonville, you guys played them earlier

1234
01:04:49,560 --> 01:04:51,920
Speaker 1: this year. We know that that team has struggled this

1235
01:04:52,000 --> 01:04:54,600
Speaker 1: year in passing and running the ball, but the Jets

1236
01:04:54,600 --> 01:04:56,840
Speaker 1: showed well in that game too. So it'll be a

1237
01:04:56,880 --> 01:04:58,800
Speaker 1: true test, right because you stated at Chris that was

1238
01:04:58,840 --> 01:05:01,080
Speaker 1: one of the best games from the Bills as far

1239
01:05:01,120 --> 01:05:03,200
Speaker 1: as running the ball, and they didn't just run it

1240
01:05:03,200 --> 01:05:05,160
Speaker 1: from the running back position right the end the rounds

1241
01:05:05,160 --> 01:05:07,440
Speaker 1: And this goes back to me saying, can the Jets

1242
01:05:07,440 --> 01:05:10,360
Speaker 1: tackle in space? Right? Because they got Isaiah McKenzie on

1243
01:05:10,400 --> 01:05:13,360
Speaker 1: their edge, because they got Emanuel Sanders on the edge,

1244
01:05:13,440 --> 01:05:16,000
Speaker 1: will the Jets be able to tackle some of these

1245
01:05:16,040 --> 01:05:19,080
Speaker 1: athletes in space? It's gonna be a big determining factor

1246
01:05:19,120 --> 01:05:21,600
Speaker 1: in this game on the opposite side right. Zach Wilson

1247
01:05:21,640 --> 01:05:24,240
Speaker 1: didn't play the Bills the first time they played against

1248
01:05:24,280 --> 01:05:27,000
Speaker 1: Mike White and were able to get four interceptions off them.

1249
01:05:27,080 --> 01:05:29,720
Speaker 1: So this will be the first time that Zack Wilson

1250
01:05:29,760 --> 01:05:32,360
Speaker 1: gets to see this defense. Now, this defense man pre

1251
01:05:32,520 --> 01:05:35,200
Speaker 1: snap disguises, There's none like it in the NFL. They

1252
01:05:35,280 --> 01:05:37,680
Speaker 1: do such a great job with Jordan Employer and Mike

1253
01:05:38,040 --> 01:05:41,160
Speaker 1: and Michael Hide being able to hide in disguise what

1254
01:05:41,280 --> 01:05:43,280
Speaker 1: they're doing on defense. They'd like to play a lot

1255
01:05:43,320 --> 01:05:45,160
Speaker 1: of cover too, but the way they get to cover

1256
01:05:45,280 --> 01:05:47,640
Speaker 1: too is so masterful. Just want to give a shout

1257
01:05:47,640 --> 01:05:50,040
Speaker 1: out to my former coach Leslie Fraser. You know he

1258
01:05:50,080 --> 01:05:52,520
Speaker 1: has done a masterful job on defense as far as

1259
01:05:52,600 --> 01:05:55,080
Speaker 1: you know, being able to have these his guys pre

1260
01:05:55,160 --> 01:05:57,520
Speaker 1: snap disguise. What you see before the snap is not

1261
01:05:57,560 --> 01:05:59,720
Speaker 1: which is you're gonna see after the stamp at all.

1262
01:05:59,840 --> 01:06:02,080
Speaker 1: I think that's gonna be a big challenge for Zach

1263
01:06:02,120 --> 01:06:05,440
Speaker 1: Wilson in this game, being able to decipher what the Jets,

1264
01:06:05,520 --> 01:06:07,800
Speaker 1: i mean, what the Bills are gonna do on defense

1265
01:06:07,880 --> 01:06:09,680
Speaker 1: post nap, and being able to get that ball out

1266
01:06:09,720 --> 01:06:11,520
Speaker 1: of your hand because if not, it's gonna be a

1267
01:06:11,520 --> 01:06:13,240
Speaker 1: long game. Yeah, I know that. I know that. The

1268
01:06:13,320 --> 01:06:15,600
Speaker 1: last game forty five seventeen, it got out of hand.

1269
01:06:15,600 --> 01:06:17,160
Speaker 1: But one of the reasons it got out of hands

1270
01:06:17,160 --> 01:06:19,360
Speaker 1: because Mike White turned it over five times. I mean,

1271
01:06:19,400 --> 01:06:22,120
Speaker 1: we had four different gas with interception, you had a

1272
01:06:22,160 --> 01:06:24,840
Speaker 1: fumble recovery, They had five guys in the secondary that

1273
01:06:24,920 --> 01:06:29,240
Speaker 1: all got a turnover. That's a much different game if

1274
01:06:29,280 --> 01:06:32,439
Speaker 1: those turnovers don't happen and you and you plug Zach

1275
01:06:32,480 --> 01:06:34,800
Speaker 1: Wilson in in place of Mike White, and if Zach

1276
01:06:34,840 --> 01:06:37,800
Speaker 1: Wilson has a you know, better arm, more live arm,

1277
01:06:37,800 --> 01:06:41,040
Speaker 1: and doesn't turn it over, this is a This is

1278
01:06:41,040 --> 01:06:43,280
Speaker 1: gonna be a very different football game than it was

1279
01:06:43,280 --> 01:06:44,760
Speaker 1: in Week ten? Is that the way you see it?

1280
01:06:44,760 --> 01:06:49,680
Speaker 1: As well? All got you got the Jets coming in.

1281
01:06:49,920 --> 01:06:51,959
Speaker 1: This is their super Bowl, right They're playing this game

1282
01:06:52,200 --> 01:06:53,880
Speaker 1: as if they need to win to get and we

1283
01:06:53,960 --> 01:06:55,680
Speaker 1: know the Bills have a lot to play for it.

1284
01:06:55,680 --> 01:06:58,800
Speaker 1: They're trying to get the AFC East Divisional crown this

1285
01:06:58,840 --> 01:07:01,480
Speaker 1: week by by winning against the Jets. So this is

1286
01:07:01,480 --> 01:07:04,480
Speaker 1: a different team that played the Bills earlier in this season.

1287
01:07:04,480 --> 01:07:07,600
Speaker 1: For one, Zach Wilson wasn't there. I think his continuity

1288
01:07:07,600 --> 01:07:09,640
Speaker 1: and the offense has grown over the last month of

1289
01:07:09,720 --> 01:07:12,080
Speaker 1: the season, and this is a totally different office now.

1290
01:07:12,120 --> 01:07:14,200
Speaker 1: The thing is, the Jets are really beat up at

1291
01:07:14,240 --> 01:07:16,920
Speaker 1: the wide receiver position. We'll see if Elijah More can go.

1292
01:07:17,240 --> 01:07:19,280
Speaker 1: I believe he practiced on the side last week. We'll

1293
01:07:19,280 --> 01:07:22,840
Speaker 1: see what his status is after today's practice in Friday's practice.

1294
01:07:23,320 --> 01:07:25,480
Speaker 1: But they're going to get some help back on defense.

1295
01:07:25,560 --> 01:07:28,320
Speaker 1: And Tyler Croft I believe, who's an ex Bill, if

1296
01:07:28,360 --> 01:07:31,360
Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken, he comes back this week as well.

1297
01:07:31,440 --> 01:07:33,400
Speaker 1: So they're gonna get some help at the tight end position.

1298
01:07:33,400 --> 01:07:35,320
Speaker 1: They're gonna get some help back on the defensive side

1299
01:07:35,360 --> 01:07:37,840
Speaker 1: of the ball. So this is a game the Jets

1300
01:07:37,840 --> 01:07:39,800
Speaker 1: are treating like their Super Bowl, and you're a team

1301
01:07:39,840 --> 01:07:42,720
Speaker 1: saying that all the time, right, trying to play spoiler

1302
01:07:42,960 --> 01:07:45,400
Speaker 1: to a team that's in the playoffs. Well, the Bills

1303
01:07:45,400 --> 01:07:47,080
Speaker 1: don't need to win this game to get into the playoffs.

1304
01:07:47,080 --> 01:07:48,640
Speaker 1: They need to win this game so they can get

1305
01:07:48,640 --> 01:07:51,120
Speaker 1: a home field advantage game in the playoffs. So this

1306
01:07:51,200 --> 01:07:53,920
Speaker 1: is a big game for both teams. The Jets are

1307
01:07:53,960 --> 01:07:56,120
Speaker 1: a team that wants to set a president, wants to

1308
01:07:56,120 --> 01:07:58,600
Speaker 1: set their identity, and they want to you know, get

1309
01:07:58,600 --> 01:08:00,560
Speaker 1: this win going into next year, and the Bills are

1310
01:08:00,560 --> 01:08:03,960
Speaker 1: trying to win this game to solidify the AFC's crowd.

1311
01:08:04,920 --> 01:08:07,360
Speaker 1: All right, leg is always thanks for the input and

1312
01:08:07,400 --> 01:08:09,000
Speaker 1: getting us up to speed on the Jets and what

1313
01:08:09,040 --> 01:08:12,360
Speaker 1: they're doing lately. We appreciate it. We'll catch up with

1314
01:08:12,400 --> 01:08:17,559
Speaker 1: you probably sometime in the off season. Thanks very much. Yeah, appreciate, appreciate.

1315
01:08:17,600 --> 01:08:21,280
Speaker 1: All right. That's Leger Douzable, Jets color analyst on the

1316
01:08:21,360 --> 01:08:25,400
Speaker 1: Jets radio network. We have to go to the practice

1317
01:08:25,439 --> 01:08:29,360
Speaker 1: field where the players are addressing the media via zoom.

1318
01:08:29,360 --> 01:08:31,760
Speaker 1: We have Mitch Morse who is ready to go. Here

1319
01:08:31,840 --> 01:08:34,640
Speaker 1: is Mitch addressing the media's questions through the ups and

1320
01:08:34,680 --> 01:08:37,720
Speaker 1: downs of the season. You know, we check in with

1321
01:08:37,760 --> 01:08:40,559
Speaker 1: you guys in the bad times the good times. You know,

1322
01:08:40,760 --> 01:08:44,639
Speaker 1: what what's it like in the building right now, knowing

1323
01:08:45,520 --> 01:08:48,280
Speaker 1: kind of the adversity that you guys have faced this year,

1324
01:08:48,360 --> 01:08:50,719
Speaker 1: some of those down moments, and how you've come together

1325
01:08:50,800 --> 01:08:53,080
Speaker 1: as as a group, what's the vibe like in the

1326
01:08:53,120 --> 01:08:57,280
Speaker 1: building right now? Um, that's a great question. Yeah. I

1327
01:08:57,320 --> 01:09:00,960
Speaker 1: mean every season has ebbed some flows, just seems that

1328
01:09:01,360 --> 01:09:04,400
Speaker 1: this one's ebbs and flows were exacerbated because it either

1329
01:09:04,439 --> 01:09:06,760
Speaker 1: came certain wins came at certain times, a certain loss

1330
01:09:06,800 --> 01:09:10,880
Speaker 1: came to a a certain time. You know, every season is long,

1331
01:09:11,000 --> 01:09:13,920
Speaker 1: especially this one with an extra extra game involved, and

1332
01:09:13,960 --> 01:09:17,839
Speaker 1: there's just such an emotional roller coaster. But the teams

1333
01:09:17,880 --> 01:09:20,960
Speaker 1: that can really learn, I mean, there's a sense of urgency,

1334
01:09:21,040 --> 01:09:24,839
Speaker 1: right but they can learn from their mistakes, stay even keeled,

1335
01:09:24,840 --> 01:09:27,840
Speaker 1: but understand that it was time to correct those. There

1336
01:09:27,880 --> 01:09:31,200
Speaker 1: has to be like I said, that urgency. The vibe

1337
01:09:31,280 --> 01:09:34,160
Speaker 1: right now is that we're not gonna try. We understand

1338
01:09:34,200 --> 01:09:37,080
Speaker 1: the stakes of this game, but the last thing we

1339
01:09:37,080 --> 01:09:39,800
Speaker 1: want to do is change the whole script. You know,

1340
01:09:40,520 --> 01:09:44,080
Speaker 1: we understand what's been working for us lately, We understand

1341
01:09:44,160 --> 01:09:47,679
Speaker 1: that the template, and just trying to stay even keeled

1342
01:09:47,680 --> 01:09:49,280
Speaker 1: as much as possible, which is hard to do in

1343
01:09:49,439 --> 01:09:52,679
Speaker 1: a very emotional sport. So for us, it's just learning

1344
01:09:52,680 --> 01:09:56,479
Speaker 1: from our mistakes and also understand what we've been doing well,

1345
01:09:56,680 --> 01:09:58,720
Speaker 1: trying to double down on those, not lose those, and

1346
01:09:58,760 --> 01:10:02,320
Speaker 1: go from there. Speaking of staying even keeled, how are

1347
01:10:02,360 --> 01:10:04,639
Speaker 1: you doing that this week? As you kind of pushed

1348
01:10:04,640 --> 01:10:08,639
Speaker 1: towards the playoffs, and obviously you got some personal exciting

1349
01:10:09,040 --> 01:10:12,840
Speaker 1: things to come here. Yeah, yeah, it was, you know

1350
01:10:12,920 --> 01:10:15,920
Speaker 1: it's it's yeah. I would say this week for me

1351
01:10:16,000 --> 01:10:19,040
Speaker 1: is a microcose in the Bowl season, right, trying and

1352
01:10:19,160 --> 01:10:23,120
Speaker 1: we were inducing Monday morning. So after the Sunday game,

1353
01:10:23,160 --> 01:10:26,640
Speaker 1: I'll be making a trip out to Kansas City to

1354
01:10:26,640 --> 01:10:29,160
Speaker 1: celebrate the birth of we don't know what, but it

1355
01:10:29,240 --> 01:10:34,040
Speaker 1: would be very exciting. But also understanding that it's real

1356
01:10:34,120 --> 01:10:36,599
Speaker 1: easy in this league to let things off the field

1357
01:10:38,200 --> 01:10:40,479
Speaker 1: distract you from on the field, and first and foremost

1358
01:10:40,520 --> 01:10:42,960
Speaker 1: I want to be a great father, but I also

1359
01:10:43,080 --> 01:10:45,679
Speaker 1: want to be a professional and accountable to my guys.

1360
01:10:45,800 --> 01:10:49,559
Speaker 1: So trying to remove church and state here, be ever

1361
01:10:49,640 --> 01:10:52,240
Speaker 1: present in this building to the best teammate I can be,

1362
01:10:52,280 --> 01:10:55,519
Speaker 1: and then off the field, trying to get ready for

1363
01:10:55,880 --> 01:10:59,320
Speaker 1: an amazing moment in my family's life. Well enjoy it,

1364
01:10:59,400 --> 01:11:04,559
Speaker 1: my friend. Thank you very much. Thanks Matt K Mitch,

1365
01:11:04,800 --> 01:11:08,040
Speaker 1: congratulations in advance. By the way, thank you very much.

1366
01:11:09,200 --> 01:11:11,519
Speaker 1: I was curious, you know something Sean has brought up

1367
01:11:11,560 --> 01:11:13,080
Speaker 1: a lot, and I was curious if you've seen this

1368
01:11:13,200 --> 01:11:15,960
Speaker 1: is how he feels like Josh as a leader. Kind

1369
01:11:16,000 --> 01:11:18,519
Speaker 1: of stuff we don't get to see away from the field.

1370
01:11:19,000 --> 01:11:21,479
Speaker 1: He's kind of stepped up especially in that way this year.

1371
01:11:21,560 --> 01:11:24,360
Speaker 1: Is there anything you've noticed him doing this year that

1372
01:11:24,479 --> 01:11:27,240
Speaker 1: has stood out maybe in terms of that leader role?

1373
01:11:28,800 --> 01:11:35,799
Speaker 1: Great question. I think he has always showed those strong

1374
01:11:35,960 --> 01:11:40,439
Speaker 1: leadership traits off the field, and I think when you

1375
01:11:40,479 --> 01:11:45,440
Speaker 1: gain more confidence in yourself as a professional, which he has,

1376
01:11:45,560 --> 01:11:48,240
Speaker 1: and understand what it takes to kind of go through

1377
01:11:48,360 --> 01:11:53,000
Speaker 1: the year ebbs and flows and understand the position you're

1378
01:11:53,000 --> 01:11:56,480
Speaker 1: at here at quarterback in the samness of this franchise

1379
01:11:56,600 --> 01:12:00,160
Speaker 1: that's just signed on for a few more years. You know. Um,

1380
01:12:00,200 --> 01:12:02,840
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say there's a huge change. I think he's

1381
01:12:02,920 --> 01:12:05,680
Speaker 1: just taking that elevation that every person does as you

1382
01:12:05,800 --> 01:12:09,200
Speaker 1: progress in the NFL. UM and he's just a good dude.

1383
01:12:09,720 --> 01:12:12,080
Speaker 1: He gets along with the guys. It's easy to communicate with.

1384
01:12:12,240 --> 01:12:14,920
Speaker 1: He's easy to to vibe with, and that makes it

1385
01:12:14,960 --> 01:12:17,800
Speaker 1: a lot easier as well to um. You know, when

1386
01:12:17,840 --> 01:12:20,760
Speaker 1: he speaks, you listen, because if there's a dude who's

1387
01:12:20,800 --> 01:12:23,040
Speaker 1: doing one thing and then does another somewhere else, or

1388
01:12:23,080 --> 01:12:25,880
Speaker 1: it's just not easy to get along with and you

1389
01:12:25,960 --> 01:12:27,479
Speaker 1: take everything to say with a grain of salt. But

1390
01:12:27,520 --> 01:12:30,240
Speaker 1: that couldn't be more opposite with Josh it's just a

1391
01:12:30,280 --> 01:12:32,679
Speaker 1: great dude. And I think, like I've said before, great

1392
01:12:32,720 --> 01:12:36,320
Speaker 1: people correlate to usually great leaders and great football players. Um.

1393
01:12:36,360 --> 01:12:38,840
Speaker 1: And then on a related note, I was curious, what

1394
01:12:39,000 --> 01:12:41,519
Speaker 1: is do you have a handshake with Josh? And what

1395
01:12:41,800 --> 01:12:47,680
Speaker 1: is it? If you do? Uh? I do? That's not

1396
01:12:47,760 --> 01:12:53,439
Speaker 1: appropriate for for um, for zoom, okay, but we do,

1397
01:12:53,960 --> 01:13:00,280
Speaker 1: and it's it's yeah, we're done. It's it's you about

1398
01:13:00,280 --> 01:13:01,879
Speaker 1: to tell me? What is there? I feel like that obviously,

1399
01:13:01,880 --> 01:13:03,519
Speaker 1: But did he come up with it? Did you come

1400
01:13:03,560 --> 01:13:05,760
Speaker 1: up with there? Is it a combined effort? It might

1401
01:13:05,800 --> 01:13:09,160
Speaker 1: have been a collaboration, okay? Um. And then one other question,

1402
01:13:09,200 --> 01:13:12,280
Speaker 1: if I was curious about having a younger guy like

1403
01:13:12,400 --> 01:13:14,840
Speaker 1: Spencer on the line and obviously need to play a

1404
01:13:14,920 --> 01:13:19,360
Speaker 1: key role with the playoffs upcoming, do you say anything too?

1405
01:13:19,600 --> 01:13:21,240
Speaker 1: We've had to talk to a lot of people about

1406
01:13:21,320 --> 01:13:23,320
Speaker 1: do you say something to younger guys? Do not? How

1407
01:13:23,320 --> 01:13:27,320
Speaker 1: do you approach that kind of thing? Well, it's it's um,

1408
01:13:28,080 --> 01:13:34,679
Speaker 1: there's an amazing experience, your first playoff experience. It's also

1409
01:13:34,760 --> 01:13:36,719
Speaker 1: easy to get lost in the fact that you feel

1410
01:13:36,760 --> 01:13:38,439
Speaker 1: like you have to do so much more because the

1411
01:13:38,479 --> 01:13:41,600
Speaker 1: stakes are higher, whereas the stakes are always high in

1412
01:13:41,640 --> 01:13:45,880
Speaker 1: this league. You stick to the template that works, understand

1413
01:13:45,920 --> 01:13:50,080
Speaker 1: that there's you know, there's as much room for error,

1414
01:13:50,080 --> 01:13:52,680
Speaker 1: but that doesn't mean you to change anything. So for us,

1415
01:13:52,720 --> 01:13:56,320
Speaker 1: it's just staying even keeled and you know the cliches

1416
01:13:56,320 --> 01:13:58,960
Speaker 1: are around for a reason, you know, trusting the process,

1417
01:13:59,520 --> 01:14:04,759
Speaker 1: and um, yeah, I think he's done such a great job.

1418
01:14:04,800 --> 01:14:08,400
Speaker 1: And your rookie years are very hard on players, and

1419
01:14:09,160 --> 01:14:11,040
Speaker 1: I thought like he's has risen to the occasion through

1420
01:14:11,080 --> 01:14:13,880
Speaker 1: the apps and flows of his personal you know, year

1421
01:14:13,960 --> 01:14:18,040
Speaker 1: as well as as team. So, um no, we won't

1422
01:14:18,080 --> 01:14:20,080
Speaker 1: make anything too big of a deal. If anything, we

1423
01:14:20,080 --> 01:14:22,280
Speaker 1: would say, just do you think, pal, we got your back?

1424
01:14:22,320 --> 01:14:25,400
Speaker 1: And um, you know, when everything else around you seems

1425
01:14:25,439 --> 01:14:28,120
Speaker 1: like it's tire strung, there's no need for you to

1426
01:14:28,160 --> 01:14:33,920
Speaker 1: be awesome. Thanks niche too awesome. Hey, MIT's Jerry with

1427
01:14:33,920 --> 01:14:37,160
Speaker 1: the Buffalo News. One thing Sean has brought up a

1428
01:14:37,200 --> 01:14:39,639
Speaker 1: couple of times the last few weeks without even really

1429
01:14:39,640 --> 01:14:42,799
Speaker 1: being asked, is the challenge of backing up a season

1430
01:14:42,880 --> 01:14:46,120
Speaker 1: like you guys had last year with a similar season.

1431
01:14:46,439 --> 01:14:49,479
Speaker 1: Um so, I'm just wondering what you've noticed about that challenge,

1432
01:14:50,400 --> 01:14:52,479
Speaker 1: if that's something that he's brought up with you guys,

1433
01:14:52,520 --> 01:14:54,840
Speaker 1: and how you think your team has responded to that.

1434
01:14:56,760 --> 01:15:01,920
Speaker 1: I know he hasn't brought it up with us. U. Yeah.

1435
01:15:02,000 --> 01:15:06,320
Speaker 1: I mean when when you when you have success, there's

1436
01:15:06,400 --> 01:15:09,799
Speaker 1: pressure to repeat it and you also set a standard.

1437
01:15:11,080 --> 01:15:14,400
Speaker 1: So for us that standards never changed. Regardless of wins

1438
01:15:14,400 --> 01:15:17,360
Speaker 1: and losses this year. Um, you know there's only one

1439
01:15:17,400 --> 01:15:21,000
Speaker 1: winner in this league, right, it was a special year

1440
01:15:21,120 --> 01:15:25,599
Speaker 1: last year. Every team is different, every team's identity is different,

1441
01:15:25,640 --> 01:15:31,519
Speaker 1: every team's trials and tribulations are different. But I mean,

1442
01:15:32,040 --> 01:15:34,240
Speaker 1: we do know what we are capable of. We've dot

1443
01:15:34,280 --> 01:15:38,439
Speaker 1: it before, but that doesn't mean anything to help you

1444
01:15:38,479 --> 01:15:40,920
Speaker 1: the next year. If anything, there's a target on your back.

1445
01:15:41,560 --> 01:15:45,320
Speaker 1: So yeah, for us, like I said before, we understand

1446
01:15:45,400 --> 01:15:47,680
Speaker 1: the stakes of every game from now on. I think

1447
01:15:47,680 --> 01:15:50,360
Speaker 1: we could say that the last five weeks and going

1448
01:15:50,720 --> 01:15:52,120
Speaker 1: one play at a time, one day at a time,

1449
01:15:52,160 --> 01:15:54,720
Speaker 1: and when you stacked those together, good things usually work out.

1450
01:15:57,280 --> 01:16:00,680
Speaker 1: That was Mitch Morrise helping us out with get a

1451
01:16:00,720 --> 01:16:03,680
Speaker 1: little a little sound after practice. Mitch has always been

1452
01:16:03,680 --> 01:16:05,600
Speaker 1: one of those articulate guys, Brownie, and I know that

1453
01:16:06,160 --> 01:16:08,880
Speaker 1: you know we've we've watched him and we heard about

1454
01:16:08,920 --> 01:16:11,400
Speaker 1: you know how he's got a secret handshake with Josh.

1455
01:16:11,400 --> 01:16:15,479
Speaker 1: He doesn't want to share with anybody. Um, I get that,

1456
01:16:15,720 --> 01:16:20,360
Speaker 1: but yeah, I don't know what did you take anything

1457
01:16:20,360 --> 01:16:24,040
Speaker 1: away from Mitch's Mitch's comments that, you know, kind of

1458
01:16:24,080 --> 01:16:28,040
Speaker 1: stuck with you. No. I mean I think he, as

1459
01:16:28,080 --> 01:16:33,160
Speaker 1: a veteran player, is confident that even the young players

1460
01:16:33,200 --> 01:16:37,760
Speaker 1: on the roster. No, it's it's due or die time.

1461
01:16:38,240 --> 01:16:40,920
Speaker 1: I mean, Josh even said it last week. Every game

1462
01:16:40,960 --> 01:16:42,800
Speaker 1: for us from here on out it's a playoff game.

1463
01:16:43,880 --> 01:16:47,559
Speaker 1: They knew they had to keep winning to clinch the division.

1464
01:16:47,680 --> 01:16:50,040
Speaker 1: Even after beating New England he said after that game,

1465
01:16:50,080 --> 01:16:52,519
Speaker 1: every game is a playoff game. And you know so

1466
01:16:52,600 --> 01:16:54,519
Speaker 1: they won last week, got to win again this week

1467
01:16:54,560 --> 01:16:57,280
Speaker 1: and then it's win or go home time. Yeah. And

1468
01:16:57,400 --> 01:17:00,160
Speaker 1: it seems to me, based on coach McDermott's comment it's

1469
01:17:00,160 --> 01:17:02,760
Speaker 1: earlier this week and some of the comments of the

1470
01:17:02,840 --> 01:17:07,280
Speaker 1: veteran players yesterday and today, that it's been effectively communicated

1471
01:17:07,760 --> 01:17:10,960
Speaker 1: to even the young players on this roster it's go

1472
01:17:11,160 --> 01:17:16,120
Speaker 1: time now. Do not leave anything to chance, don't fail

1473
01:17:16,200 --> 01:17:18,320
Speaker 1: in putting in the extra work when there's time to

1474
01:17:18,400 --> 01:17:23,240
Speaker 1: do so. So you are completely prepared knowing the magnitude

1475
01:17:23,240 --> 01:17:26,080
Speaker 1: of these games coming up. So hopefully that is the case.

1476
01:17:26,240 --> 01:17:29,720
Speaker 1: From guy number one to guy number sixty nine at

1477
01:17:29,720 --> 01:17:31,760
Speaker 1: the end of the practice squad. I think it's I

1478
01:17:31,760 --> 01:17:33,880
Speaker 1: think it's the big key for these guys is to

1479
01:17:33,920 --> 01:17:35,920
Speaker 1: stay mentally sharp. I mean, if they come out and

1480
01:17:35,920 --> 01:17:38,280
Speaker 1: get slopping and start turning it over like they did

1481
01:17:38,320 --> 01:17:41,360
Speaker 1: against the Atlanta Falcons, I think the Jets are better

1482
01:17:41,360 --> 01:17:43,080
Speaker 1: than the Falcons. I think their defense is better, and

1483
01:17:43,080 --> 01:17:46,840
Speaker 1: they have a more live arm quarterback. To be quite

1484
01:17:46,840 --> 01:17:51,080
Speaker 1: honest with you, certainly not as experienced, but they got

1485
01:17:51,120 --> 01:17:53,040
Speaker 1: a fresh new head coach and they're gonna they want

1486
01:17:53,040 --> 01:17:54,800
Speaker 1: to end this season on a high note. And they

1487
01:17:54,920 --> 01:17:57,680
Speaker 1: just took the World champions, and they just took the

1488
01:17:57,680 --> 01:18:00,960
Speaker 1: World champions to the wire. I think the Jets played

1489
01:18:00,960 --> 01:18:03,479
Speaker 1: better and last week's game against Tampa Bay than the

1490
01:18:03,520 --> 01:18:06,040
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons did against the Buffalo Bills. Here in Buffalo,

1491
01:18:06,479 --> 01:18:07,960
Speaker 1: you don't want to be part of turning it over

1492
01:18:07,960 --> 01:18:10,679
Speaker 1: and giving this game to a Jet team that wants

1493
01:18:10,720 --> 01:18:12,519
Speaker 1: it worse than you do while you're waiting on the

1494
01:18:12,560 --> 01:18:15,920
Speaker 1: playoffs to start. Yeah, I don't think there's any question

1495
01:18:15,960 --> 01:18:18,800
Speaker 1: about that, and you look at every one of Buffalo's

1496
01:18:18,800 --> 01:18:22,080
Speaker 1: losses this season, turnovers have played a major role in

1497
01:18:22,200 --> 01:18:24,559
Speaker 1: each and every one of them. Hold onto the ball,

1498
01:18:24,880 --> 01:18:27,200
Speaker 1: you're probably winning the game. On Sunday, we have to

1499
01:18:27,240 --> 01:18:29,720
Speaker 1: take a break here. When we come back, it'll be

1500
01:18:29,760 --> 01:18:32,880
Speaker 1: time for a little Coffee with the Bills. We'll see

1501
01:18:32,880 --> 01:18:35,120

Speaker 1: here with Tommy Sweeney and Dawson Knox. Got a couple

1511
01:19:16,080 --> 01:19:18,360
Speaker 1: of questions to see. How will you two know each other?

1512
01:19:18,479 --> 01:19:21,040
Speaker 1: Which I don't think I'm gonna stump you. Number one?

1513
01:19:21,520 --> 01:19:25,360
Speaker 1: What is Dawson's dream sporting event? He wants to attend

1514
01:19:25,880 --> 01:19:33,840
Speaker 1: World Cup. I didn't even give you the options, Tommy,

1515
01:19:34,040 --> 01:19:38,840
Speaker 1: You are right. I grew up playing soccer. It's like

1516
01:19:38,960 --> 01:19:42,360
Speaker 1: my first sport that I really loved, and it's like

1517
01:19:42,439 --> 01:19:46,000
Speaker 1: the world's favorite sport. So in America it's not even close.

1518
01:19:46,400 --> 01:19:50,920
Speaker 1: Number two, Who is Tommy's favorite superhero? Is it Thor

1519
01:19:51,439 --> 01:20:01,400
Speaker 1: Captain America or Superman? Tommy Captain America? Your bio says

1520
01:20:01,479 --> 01:20:06,960
Speaker 1: Tho rag Rock Raggerrock problem. What's number one on Dawson's

1521
01:20:07,080 --> 01:20:12,280
Speaker 1: bucket list? Skydiving, learning how to fly a plane, or

1522
01:20:12,720 --> 01:20:15,640
Speaker 1: hiking mount at wrist. I think it's fun. I think

1523
01:20:15,680 --> 01:20:19,080
Speaker 1: it's fun. I think I put skydiving. I knew it

1524
01:20:19,120 --> 01:20:22,040
Speaker 1: was skyd I don't know. Everyone that's ever gone has

1525
01:20:22,040 --> 01:20:25,000
Speaker 1: said it's just like the greatest thing ever ever. Will

1526
01:20:25,080 --> 01:20:27,960
Speaker 1: Smith did like a five minute video talking about skydiving

1527
01:20:28,120 --> 01:20:30,559
Speaker 1: that really convinced me. But I might have to lose

1528
01:20:30,640 --> 01:20:32,719
Speaker 1: some weight because I feel like there's a weight women,

1529
01:20:33,040 --> 01:20:34,840
Speaker 1: and if I'm even close to the white women, I'm not.

1530
01:20:36,120 --> 01:20:42,320
Speaker 1: What is Tommy's pet peeve? Is it double dippers people

1531
01:20:42,439 --> 01:20:48,320
Speaker 1: who are always late to things, or slow walkers slow walkers.

1532
01:20:50,400 --> 01:20:53,360
Speaker 1: He's almost late to everything. So that can't really be

1533
01:20:53,439 --> 01:20:55,519
Speaker 1: a pet pie. But he's never been late. We have

1534
01:20:55,640 --> 01:20:57,840
Speaker 1: a meeting at eight thirty and it will be eight

1535
01:20:58,000 --> 01:21:01,400
Speaker 1: twenty nine and thirty eight seconds. Toby on time. I

1536
01:21:01,439 --> 01:21:05,960
Speaker 1: mean he is on time every time from New Jersey.

1537
01:21:06,000 --> 01:21:08,080
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's an issue of fun. What is

1538
01:21:08,080 --> 01:21:10,240
Speaker 1: your favorite thing about each other? Talk each other up.

1539
01:21:10,280 --> 01:21:13,719
Speaker 1: You got to be music interests. If any song comes

1540
01:21:13,800 --> 01:21:18,840
Speaker 1: on anywhere, he'll like immediately notice what it is. He'll

1541
01:21:18,920 --> 01:21:21,960
Speaker 1: tell me why it was written, who wrote it, where

1542
01:21:22,000 --> 01:21:23,720
Speaker 1: they were when they wrote it, and a lot of

1543
01:21:23,800 --> 01:21:26,439
Speaker 1: it's very interesting. But sometimes you just got to be like,

1544
01:21:26,560 --> 01:21:29,439
Speaker 1: all right, let's just show at the music Info. I

1545
01:21:29,560 --> 01:21:31,519
Speaker 1: was gonna say the same thing would because we lived

1546
01:21:31,520 --> 01:21:33,800
Speaker 1: together our first year after we got drafted here got

1547
01:21:33,800 --> 01:21:35,840
Speaker 1: a new country. But you know, like I didn't know it,

1548
01:21:35,920 --> 01:21:38,519
Speaker 1: and especially like these new people like Cody Jenks, Pilot

1549
01:21:38,600 --> 01:21:41,439
Speaker 1: Childers who really put me onto those and really rounded

1550
01:21:41,520 --> 01:21:44,360
Speaker 1: me out. Make the case for why tight ends are

1551
01:21:44,520 --> 01:21:48,120
Speaker 1: a secret weapon to an offense. The versatility of the

1552
01:21:48,200 --> 01:21:50,960
Speaker 1: position is kind of unlike any other position on the field.

1553
01:21:51,640 --> 01:21:53,760
Speaker 1: We gotta go block guys that are bigger than us

1554
01:21:54,000 --> 01:21:58,040
Speaker 1: and then go run routes and create separation against guys

1555
01:21:58,040 --> 01:22:00,400
Speaker 1: that are smaller and faster than us. There's a lot

1556
01:22:00,439 --> 01:22:02,920
Speaker 1: of dynamic pieces that can livolve around me in a

1557
01:22:02,960 --> 01:22:05,840
Speaker 1: tight end they can use on offense. All right, guys,

1558
01:22:05,920 --> 01:22:08,519
Speaker 1: thanks for showing us how well you know each other.

1559
01:22:09,080 --> 01:22:15,840
Speaker 1: He really set up perfectly with the first one. Tommy Joint.

1560
01:22:15,960 --> 01:22:18,680
Speaker 1: Another episode of Coffee with Bills presented by its importons

1561
01:22:20,160 --> 01:22:24,920
Speaker 1: sick As, Steve, Steve, I'm right, Sweeney, and Dawson Knox. Yeah.

1562
01:22:25,280 --> 01:22:27,519
Speaker 1: I did that when I was a I roomed with

1563
01:22:27,560 --> 01:22:29,760
Speaker 1: a linebacker and it's amazing what you find out about

1564
01:22:29,800 --> 01:22:32,040
Speaker 1: people when you live with him, and especially when you're

1565
01:22:32,280 --> 01:22:34,880
Speaker 1: it's like going to college your first freshman year. You

1566
01:22:35,000 --> 01:22:38,400
Speaker 1: get meat like six brand new people, and four months

1567
01:22:38,520 --> 01:22:41,759
Speaker 1: later they're like your lifelong best friends of all time.

1568
01:22:42,360 --> 01:22:45,479
Speaker 1: And uh, you know right, that's what it's like being

1569
01:22:45,520 --> 01:22:47,679
Speaker 1: a rookie. It's like going to freshman year of college

1570
01:22:47,680 --> 01:22:50,600
Speaker 1: all over again. And it's even better because most of

1571
01:22:50,640 --> 01:22:52,519
Speaker 1: you guys are making a ton of cash and you're

1572
01:22:52,560 --> 01:22:54,479
Speaker 1: famous too, so it's pretty cool. It's like being big

1573
01:22:54,520 --> 01:22:57,840
Speaker 1: man on campus as a freshman in college. Plus those

1574
01:22:57,920 --> 01:23:00,720
Speaker 1: guys came in together, same draft class, the whole thing,

1575
01:23:00,880 --> 01:23:03,120
Speaker 1: play the same pie. Did you notice this, Tonano? It's

1576
01:23:03,120 --> 01:23:06,439
Speaker 1: just me. They look alike. They could be kind of

1577
01:23:06,479 --> 01:23:09,800
Speaker 1: resemble each other, kind of resemble each other. They're kind

1578
01:23:09,800 --> 01:23:12,120
Speaker 1: of like an old couple. They're the same freaking guy.

1579
01:23:12,280 --> 01:23:15,240
Speaker 1: Start to say, you know when when you know, long

1580
01:23:15,360 --> 01:23:17,720
Speaker 1: time married couple start getting older, they say that, they

1581
01:23:17,760 --> 01:23:22,120
Speaker 1: start looking like, look there, guys, look like it's Brownnie.

1582
01:23:22,160 --> 01:23:26,920
Speaker 1: They're identical. They're six five, the same moppy hair, same beard,

1583
01:23:27,360 --> 01:23:33,160
Speaker 1: same build. They're the same guy. Tommy Sweeney could play

1584
01:23:33,240 --> 01:23:37,719
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox in a movie and vice versa. Yeah, I would.

1585
01:23:38,120 --> 01:23:41,160
Speaker 1: I'm sure they'd like that. It's unbelievable. They I've thought

1586
01:23:41,200 --> 01:23:44,040
Speaker 1: that since since week one of their rookie season. I

1587
01:23:44,120 --> 01:23:48,040
Speaker 1: was like, wow, they are like eighty nine. I you know,

1588
01:23:48,200 --> 01:23:50,439
Speaker 1: for a minute, I couldn't which one number away from

1589
01:23:50,439 --> 01:23:53,559
Speaker 1: each other? Right, which one's which? You know? I remember

1590
01:23:53,600 --> 01:23:56,439
Speaker 1: because Sweeney's wearing my old numbers. That's how I remember them.

1591
01:23:57,520 --> 01:24:00,360
Speaker 1: But they are that. They look so much alike. It's amazing.

1592
01:24:00,360 --> 01:24:03,080
Speaker 1: And they're I mean even their they could be twins.

1593
01:24:03,400 --> 01:24:09,719
Speaker 1: They really, they could come off as twins. Yeah, mannerisms, everything, everything, everything,

1594
01:24:09,800 --> 01:24:12,080
Speaker 1: it's that was a good That was a good coffee

1595
01:24:12,200 --> 01:24:14,600
Speaker 1: with the Bills. We did want to get to the

1596
01:24:14,640 --> 01:24:17,920
Speaker 1: tweet sheet before we wrapped up for the day. Can

1597
01:24:18,040 --> 01:24:21,439
Speaker 1: the Bills sustain their run game through the playoffs? Was

1598
01:24:21,479 --> 01:24:25,080
Speaker 1: our Twitter conversation today and tweet sheet brought to you

1599
01:24:25,120 --> 01:24:29,080
Speaker 1: by Corrigan Moving Systems, the officials moving equipment company of

1600
01:24:29,160 --> 01:24:31,560
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills, and Matt leads. As Offen says, the

1601
01:24:31,640 --> 01:24:33,760
Speaker 1: Bills may need to go more pass heavy against some

1602
01:24:33,840 --> 01:24:36,320
Speaker 1: of the teams they would encounter in the playoffs, but

1603
01:24:36,439 --> 01:24:38,240
Speaker 1: as long as the old line keeps playing as well

1604
01:24:38,280 --> 01:24:40,519
Speaker 1: as it has been recently, the Bills should be able

1605
01:24:41,000 --> 01:24:45,280
Speaker 1: to continue running the ball well once the playoffs start. Steve,

1606
01:24:45,400 --> 01:24:47,840
Speaker 1: do you think that is fool's gold only? And the

1607
01:24:47,920 --> 01:24:50,519
Speaker 1: only reason I say that is some of their more

1608
01:24:50,640 --> 01:24:55,479
Speaker 1: successful running days came against the Carolina Panthers twentieth against

1609
01:24:55,520 --> 01:24:59,160
Speaker 1: the run, the Falcons last week twenty second against the run,

1610
01:24:59,240 --> 01:25:02,599
Speaker 1: and if they have six here on Sunday, I don't

1611
01:25:02,600 --> 01:25:04,240
Speaker 1: know that it carries a lot of weight either. Because

1612
01:25:04,280 --> 01:25:07,240
Speaker 1: the Jets are twenty ninth against the run, you know

1613
01:25:07,479 --> 01:25:11,960
Speaker 1: they're gonna be facing better run defenses in the playoffs. Well,

1614
01:25:11,960 --> 01:25:14,120
Speaker 1: when you when you have success against teams who aren't

1615
01:25:14,120 --> 01:25:16,280
Speaker 1: good against the runs because and they make it easier

1616
01:25:16,320 --> 01:25:18,200
Speaker 1: to execute your run game. When you get used to

1617
01:25:18,280 --> 01:25:21,080
Speaker 1: executing it properly, you get better at it, even against

1618
01:25:21,160 --> 01:25:26,880
Speaker 1: better people. So there's a there's that. I think this, Yes,

1619
01:25:27,040 --> 01:25:28,800
Speaker 1: they may run the ball better than they did a

1620
01:25:28,880 --> 01:25:31,880
Speaker 1: year ago in the playoffs where they won two playoff games.

1621
01:25:32,840 --> 01:25:36,120
Speaker 1: They don't need to they need to they what they

1622
01:25:36,200 --> 01:25:37,599
Speaker 1: really need to do is throw the football the way

1623
01:25:37,600 --> 01:25:39,760
Speaker 1: they're capable of throwing it and not turning it over.

1624
01:25:40,000 --> 01:25:43,439
Speaker 1: If they don't turn it over, they're gonna they're gonna

1625
01:25:43,479 --> 01:25:46,400
Speaker 1: win some playoff games. I think what it comes down

1626
01:25:46,479 --> 01:25:50,839
Speaker 1: to run game or not, because they're never gonna completely

1627
01:25:51,040 --> 01:25:53,000
Speaker 1: get rid of it, and they're gonna have confidence they

1628
01:25:53,040 --> 01:25:54,599
Speaker 1: can pick up a third and ten. If they run

1629
01:25:54,680 --> 01:25:56,559
Speaker 1: it on first, run it on second and get zero,

1630
01:25:57,439 --> 01:25:59,240
Speaker 1: they're still gonna be confident they can pick it up

1631
01:25:59,280 --> 01:26:01,599
Speaker 1: on third and ten. And that's how good they are

1632
01:26:01,640 --> 01:26:04,000
Speaker 1: in the passing game. So as long as their running

1633
01:26:04,080 --> 01:26:08,639
Speaker 1: game is present and their offense is moving the football,

1634
01:26:09,040 --> 01:26:12,040
Speaker 1: you know, just they can run, they're get positive yards.

1635
01:26:12,280 --> 01:26:14,400
Speaker 1: Singletary is very good at making it even if it's

1636
01:26:14,520 --> 01:26:17,800
Speaker 1: second and eight or second and seven is still better

1637
01:26:17,880 --> 01:26:21,080
Speaker 1: than you know, second and ten or second and twelve.

1638
01:26:21,640 --> 01:26:24,839
Speaker 1: So whether they run it better or not, they've proven

1639
01:26:25,000 --> 01:26:27,720
Speaker 1: their commitment to keeping it in the game plan. And

1640
01:26:27,720 --> 01:26:29,600
Speaker 1: as long as they do that, that's all they need.

1641
01:26:29,640 --> 01:26:34,280
Speaker 1: Their running game four. Anything over that it's gravy, right,

1642
01:26:34,360 --> 01:26:36,160
Speaker 1: And that's kind of what Josh says. Yes, we can.

1643
01:26:36,240 --> 01:26:38,800
Speaker 1: If our offense plays like it does, and the threat

1644
01:26:38,840 --> 01:26:40,800
Speaker 1: for Josh to keep the ball on the option play,

1645
01:26:41,240 --> 01:26:44,200
Speaker 1: it will keep defenses guessing. I think they do like

1646
01:26:44,760 --> 01:26:47,599
Speaker 1: some of the read option stuff and how Josh more

1647
01:26:47,640 --> 01:26:50,280
Speaker 1: often than not makes the right decision there. I agree

1648
01:26:50,280 --> 01:26:51,960
Speaker 1: with you. I think you just keep the off to

1649
01:26:52,120 --> 01:26:55,439
Speaker 1: keep the run game functional and it's enough to keep

1650
01:26:55,520 --> 01:26:58,240
Speaker 1: defenses honest, so they're not loading up and trying to

1651
01:26:58,280 --> 01:27:00,920
Speaker 1: tee off on Josh against pass. We gotta take a

1652
01:27:00,960 --> 01:27:02,920
Speaker 1: break here. We'll get a couple of more thoughts on

1653
01:27:03,000 --> 01:27:05,599
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet before we sign off for the day.

1654
01:27:05,640 --> 01:27:07,599
Speaker 1: It's One Bill's Live presented by a lot of Health.

1655
01:27:07,640 --> 01:27:25,080
Speaker 1: This is Buffalo Bill's Raiding, all right. Welcome back to

1656

1657
01:27:27,360 --> 01:27:29,840
Speaker 1: couple more comments on the tweet sheet as we are

1658
01:27:29,960 --> 01:27:32,519
Speaker 1: asking you can the Bill sustain their run game through

1659
01:27:32,680 --> 01:27:36,200
Speaker 1: the playoffs, Jack says, I believe they can. Old line

1660
01:27:36,200 --> 01:27:39,360
Speaker 1: has finally started to get healthy and Gel hopefully Bates

1661
01:27:39,439 --> 01:27:42,120
Speaker 1: has a fast recovery motor has changed the way he

1662
01:27:42,280 --> 01:27:45,560
Speaker 1: runs with less shimmy and more crash, and seventeen is

1663
01:27:45,560 --> 01:27:48,120
Speaker 1: always a threat with his size, speed and athleticisms. It

1664
01:27:48,280 --> 01:27:50,960
Speaker 1: seems to have come together at the right time. You

1665
01:27:51,080 --> 01:27:55,280
Speaker 1: do feel like it's a momentum building thing here, Steve. Yeah,

1666
01:27:55,840 --> 01:27:57,280
Speaker 1: and the more And when you say it like that,

1667
01:27:57,680 --> 01:28:00,600
Speaker 1: I get it. They went wind law win loss for

1668
01:28:00,680 --> 01:28:02,679
Speaker 1: two months and now they've got a little win streak

1669
01:28:02,760 --> 01:28:04,880
Speaker 1: going here, and they're doing some things they hadn't done

1670
01:28:05,400 --> 01:28:07,960
Speaker 1: during that stretch where they were alternating wins and losses.

1671
01:28:09,000 --> 01:28:12,040
Speaker 1: I think the boost the run game has given them,

1672
01:28:12,160 --> 01:28:14,280
Speaker 1: along with the fact that if they don't turn it over,

1673
01:28:14,680 --> 01:28:17,000
Speaker 1: that they have no turnovers in a game. This is

1674
01:28:17,040 --> 01:28:18,959
Speaker 1: where they want to be sitting headed into the playoffs.

1675
01:28:19,920 --> 01:28:22,280
Speaker 1: The ability to run the football and run it effectively

1676
01:28:23,479 --> 01:28:27,240
Speaker 1: and don't turn and then not turn it over. Yeah,

1677
01:28:27,360 --> 01:28:30,600
Speaker 1: that's that's a pretty good recipe for this team. Going

1678
01:28:30,720 --> 01:28:34,599
Speaker 1: a long way during these playoffs. Those two things. Yeah,

1679
01:28:34,920 --> 01:28:38,719
Speaker 1: the real JP says they need to with the run game,

1680
01:28:38,800 --> 01:28:41,080
Speaker 1: and yes they can because their whole line is at

1681
01:28:41,120 --> 01:28:44,439
Speaker 1: full strength and deep, when the opposite would have been

1682
01:28:44,479 --> 01:28:46,639
Speaker 1: said just a few weeks ago. Those boys are ready

1683
01:28:46,680 --> 01:28:49,160
Speaker 1: to maul some guys. I think it is safe to

1684
01:28:49,240 --> 01:28:53,040
Speaker 1: say there's been somewhat of a transformation upfront. Their execution

1685
01:28:53,200 --> 01:28:56,320
Speaker 1: is better. We've acknowledged that, but I think there's an

1686
01:28:56,320 --> 01:28:59,240
Speaker 1: attitude adjustment that's happened there as well. They finally got

1687
01:28:59,280 --> 01:29:01,320
Speaker 1: a little stability the upfront and they found a little

1688
01:29:01,520 --> 01:29:03,880
Speaker 1: They found a little recipe with Baits at left guard

1689
01:29:04,400 --> 01:29:06,960
Speaker 1: and everybody else moved into their regular spots with both

1690
01:29:07,000 --> 01:29:12,200
Speaker 1: tackles with Brown and and Dawkins at the tackles with

1691
01:29:12,479 --> 01:29:15,520
Speaker 1: Williams and Morrison. It seems like they got some stability

1692
01:29:15,640 --> 01:29:17,920
Speaker 1: and it has made a difference like we thought it

1693
01:29:18,000 --> 01:29:21,040
Speaker 1: would when we couldn't get it. So we'll see if

1694
01:29:21,080 --> 01:29:25,200
Speaker 1: it can continue. Big Show Tomorrow is always on Friday.
