00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 2: braved the roads today and found our way in Yesterday?

00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 3: Was worse today?

8
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 4: Was?

9
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 2: It? Was?

10
00:00:58,720 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 3: Him?

11
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 2: What is the What is the total at your home

12
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 2: in terms of snowfall, Steve?

13
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 3: I'm thinking right about two feet.

14
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I might be a little over that now, probably

15
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 2: somewhere between twenty eight and thirty.

16
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 3: It might be a hair why not, Yeah, at least

17
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 3: two feet.

18
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 2: It's this time of year, Steve, when I am reminded

19
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:26,759
Speaker 2: how much I loathe the amount of snow that's dropped

20
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:31,960
Speaker 2: in my driveway apron by the town plows. Oh man,

21
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,479
Speaker 2: you I'm just gonna tell you. My neighbor and I

22
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 2: we work tirelessly to clear as much snow from the

23
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 2: roadside to the left of our homes, knowing the plow

24
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 2: is going to come right back and just drop it

25
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 2: all on my driveway apron again. So there we are

26
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 2: hand shoveling that stuff because my snowblower is not strong

27
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 2: enough to throw the slush the garbage. So I'm there

28
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 2: lifting the heavy stuff with my shovel and we're trying

29
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 2: to throw it, you know, on the front lawn strip

30
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 2: there that you have, you know, between the sidewalk and

31
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 2: the street. And so I mean we're doing that for

32
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 2: you know, a half hour between my house and his,

33
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 2: between my house and my next neighbor's house. I mean,

34
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 2: we're just getting rid of all that slop so when

35
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 2: the plow comes through again, it doesn't get dropped in

36
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 2: my driveway apron. Right, this problem with that.

37
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 3: Gets drive in your neighbor's driveway. The problem is, Okay.

38
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 2: After we did all that, we got another six inches

39
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 2: of snow.

40
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 3: And here comes the plot.

41
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 2: So I wake up this morning and there's just this

42
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 2: giant First of all, he must have broke off a

43
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 2: hunk of some kind of frozen thing. I had a

44
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 2: snow boulder at the end of my apron this morning,

45
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 2: and so I'm just like, all right, So I'm getting

46
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 2: out there twenty minutes late for work now because I

47
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 2: gotta do that. And then my neighbor's son, who has

48
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 2: a plow on the front of his car. He just

49
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 2: pulled up and he saw me with a snowboulder and

50
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 2: he's like, step aside, let me take care of that.

51
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 2: Comes in and in one fell swoop just plows it

52
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,839
Speaker 2: up onto a pile. And I was just like, thank

53
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 2: you for saving twenty minutes of my life which would

54
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 2: have been spent over here doing this.

55
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 4: So I did the same thing. I couldn't even do

56
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 4: my entire drive, you know. I got that drive with

57
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 4: a circle on it, you know, and it comes. I

58
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 4: couldn't do the circle. I didn't have time I was

59
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 4: gonna so I just got out. I just plowed enough

60
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 4: so I could get out.

61
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:34,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was out.

62
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 3: I don't know if you I don't know if he

63
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 3: mentioned it. I didn't.

64
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 4: I didn't get a chance to listen to Sabers, you know,

65
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 4: Marty and Dufford this morning, just before us. But I

66
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 4: was out plowing my I'm, you know, pushing the snow

67
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 4: out off the end of my driveway because I got

68
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 4: a little machine right and pickup comes stops. He's waving

69
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 4: at me. I think, oh, hey, how you doing.

70
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 3: Who is it? And he stops. I was like, who

00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 3: big pick up with a blade on it.

00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 4: You know, we've all seen him gets out hits Marty bron.

74
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 3: Marty goes, hey, how you doing. I'm like, dude, what

00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:09,560

76
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 3: have known, I wouldn't be out here doing this myself.

77
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 3: Where's my brow?

78
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 5: No?

79
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 2: Did he plow your travel?

80
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 3: I got I was in No, I've got it. I

81
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 3: got it.

82
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 4: But he he was out doing because somebody had called

83
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,599
Speaker 4: him said hey can you and he flew over and

84
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 4: did it. Yeah, So I was I got to say

85
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 4: a chance to say hello to him. But this morning

86
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 4: I ran out of time. I had, you know, we

87
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 4: had stuff we were doing this morning. We were doing

88
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 4: bills by the numbers. This morning I had to get

89
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 4: in and I and I got a good night's sleep

90
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 4: last night, which I'm not going to waste by getting

91
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:43,279
Speaker 4: up early. So I had to hurry through my chores

92
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 4: this morning.

93
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 2: And fortunately most I think all the travel bands have

94
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 2: been lifted. At this time, there is still a travel advisory,

95
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 2: so just be careful out there because the snow is

96
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 2: still flying.

97
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 4: They're getting ahead of a snowband, but it's still you know,

98
00:04:56,440 --> 00:05:00,080
Speaker 4: there's still snow everywhere it is. It's slippery and all that.

99
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 4: So you gotta you know, Buffalo people know, you gotta beach,

100
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 4: slow down, take your times, leave a little bit of

101
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 4: space between you and the car ahead of you, and

102
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 4: make no cruise control ever, you know, stay away from

103
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 4: the plows. Just you know, play it safe. And it's

104
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:13,840
Speaker 4: got allow more time.

105
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 2: And it is all hands on deck here at one

106
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,600
Speaker 2: Bill's Drive. As far as snow removal efforts are concerned,

107
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,840
Speaker 2: I pulled in this morning an hill over here. I

108
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 2: pulled in this morning and there was like a sixty

109
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 2: foot mountain of snow that they were just loading into

110
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 2: trucks to drive off the property. Because you're trying to

111
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 2: have as many parking spaces as possible for the fans

112
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 2: that are coming on Sunday. The snow fell too late

113
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 2: in the week for them to fully accomplish that. I

114
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 2: think our good friend Andy Major so I think he

115
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 2: said they're eighty percent of the spots were available last

116
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 2: week because the snow just did not stop through the weekend.

117
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 2: They well, they yeah, it's not flying hard now, so

118
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 2: hopefully they can kind of get ahead of it and

119
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 2: get the snow out of here. But they're just throwing

120
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 2: it in dump trucks right now.

121
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 4: You saw it, you said it. I mean, it's all

122
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 4: hands on deck over here. They're out practicing right now.

123
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 4: The teams over there.

124
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 2: Practicing practice in the field house here and.

125
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 4: Then so they've got to actually can get a full

126
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 4: day in kind of normal, more normal for them. But outside,

127
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 4: and we've got machines moving everywhere.

128
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 2: Oh it looks like Grand Central.

129
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean you think that.

130
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 4: You think the construction site over there is busy. This

131
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 4: place over here now is.

132
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 3: And I'll say this too.

133
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 4: The property over there across the e sec south that

134
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 4: where they're putting the new stadium on that, they've got

135
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 4: a lot of space over there dump snow anyway. Yeah,

136
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 4: you know, so they at least I don't have to drive,

137
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 4: you know, fifteen minutes and find a Walmart parkt park parking,

138
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:39,840
Speaker 4: give it to that, give it to wall and let

139
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 4: the Target Walmart's parking lots take it.

140
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 3: They got their own snow. That's busy. We're it's going

141
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 3: to be a much different. I think.

142
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 2: I think it's gonna have to be that way the

143
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 2: rest of the week.

144
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 4: Yes, But I do think because of that, it's going

145
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,359
Speaker 4: to be a much different experience this weekend than it

146
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:54,279
Speaker 4: was last weekend.

147
00:06:54,480 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 2: Right, I mean the snow is supposed to completely by

148
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 2: the weekend, right, so hopefully that gives enough run up time, yeah,

149
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 2: to get the stuff out without anything else coming behind it.

150
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 4: It should be because I'll say this too, and we

151
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 4: heard this. I heard this from my family, my people

152
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 4: and all the people that I know that came to.

153
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 4: The traffic at certain times was as worse that they've

154
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 4: ever seen because you know, some of the lots weren't open.

155
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 4: You know, you couldn't get in them, and so that well,

156
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 4: your place you usually park, is like no, go.

157
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 3: Well, now what do I do it?

158
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 2: Because they got fifty less spots?

159
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, so now what do I do?

160
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 4: So it really caused some problems this last week and

161
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 4: hopefully that will be a little bit eased and people

162
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 4: will be able to you know, get their Plus, it's

163
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 4: a six thirty game, so you can come in and early,

164
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 4: early early and make it make it right.

165
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 2: Yeah. So hopefully, uh, life is easier for the people

166
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 2: in the lots now to remove everything and the snow

167
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 2: tapers off as we get close to Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

168
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 2: This game is a doozy though there are people out

169
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 2: there calling this the AFC title game, no offense to

170
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 2: the Baltimore Ravens, who are the number one seed.

171
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 3: It's not. It's not.

172
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 2: But you understand why some people think it's that because

173
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 2: people are excited about Alan and Mahomes squaring off in

174
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 2: the playoffs, because they remember what the last game was like.

175
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 2: That's why it's a thirty six seven combined touchdowns, no interceptions.

176
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 4: Twenty five points scored in the last two minutes of regulation,

177
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 4: not overtime regulation, three lead changes in the last two minutes. Dude,

178
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,959
Speaker 4: that that right there is why people are Here's the thing,

179
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 4: and I said this at the time. That game when

180
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 4: they start going back and forth, was like.

181
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 3: It was. It was like we were all addicted to it.

182
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 4: We were all like the junkie who couldn't get enough

183
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 4: of that game, so that when it was over they

184
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 4: were ticked. Not at the overtime, they were just mad

185
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 4: it was over.

186
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:12,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, general fans, fans that weren't na invested. They like

187
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 2: live ball.

188
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 3: Deep and we can't let no, we get a game

189
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 3: like that. We can't let it in.

190
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 4: We got to change the rules, right, I mean, come on,

191
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 4: it was amazing, so fun, exhilarate and what do I

192
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:30,119
Speaker 4: call it? Exhilar excruciatingly glorious.

193
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, so a lot has changed since then. And uh

194
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,199
Speaker 2: we actually got into that in this week's episode of

195
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 2: Bills by the Numbers, which should be out later today,

196
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 2: so be sure to check that out. We also caught

197
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 2: up with former NFL GM Mike Mayock, who's going to

198
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 2: be calling the game on Westwood one this week with

199
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:55,319
Speaker 2: Kevin Harlan. He had some good insight on the two teams,

200
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 2: so be sure to check that out when you get

201
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 2: a chance on whatever podcast platform you might use. But yeah,

202
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,319
Speaker 2: I think because of how the last one went, everyone

203
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 2: is expecting something similar and I don't know, I just

204
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:11,559
Speaker 2: have this feeling that the two defenses are going to

205
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 2: have something to say about that. I am not anticipating

206
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,320
Speaker 2: a game in the upper thirties or forties. I am

207
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 2: just not And I think Week fourteen is proof of that.

208
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 2: Twenty to seventeen, you know, was the final in Week fourteen,

209
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 2: won by Buffalo, as we know, thanks in part to

210
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:35,199
Speaker 2: a offside's pre snap penalty by one Kadarius Tony.

211
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 4: Remember that, Oh yeah, I get it.

212
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 3: I don't want to go into it again. Done.

213
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 4: I've rented already once about my officials rant for the season.

214
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 3: It was a good call.

215
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was the right call, and that's that's life

216
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 4: in life in the NFL.

217
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 3: Flag came out.

218
00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:02,680
Speaker 2: I tweeted this out yesterday. I am not going to

219
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:09,079
Speaker 2: make a positive or negative comment with this. But your

220
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 2: head referee for Sunday's game, i've heard is Sean Hockyly.

221
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 3: He's the intentional grounding in since no, he's not, he's not.

222
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 2: He's from the Philadelphia games.

223
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 3: Oh, the the not only.

224
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 2: Penalties tend to want in favor of the Bills.

225
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 4: That's where they horse collar Josh and then call a

226
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 4: penalty on Josh.

227
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,559
Speaker 2: Yep. Oh my gosh, that is your head referee.

228
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:34,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, dude, I'm just gonna don't worry about it.

229
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 4: Listen, don't get your don't get your you know, your

230
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 4: panties in a wad. It's just it's the way it's

231
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 4: gonna be. They're gonna they're gonna do the best they can.

232
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 4: They're they're in it to do it right, I promise

233
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 4: you it's gonna be.

234
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 2: I just yeah, I just feel like it's gonna be

235
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 2: a close game. It is gonna be to your point

236
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 2: that you've made on this show more than once. The

237
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:00,679
Speaker 2: reason that officials are under the micros go more than

238
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 2: ever is because we have so many one score games,

239
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 2: and when they do miss a call, it's magnified because

240
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 2: it can flip the game the other way. One bad

241
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 2: call in a one score game can flip the outcome

242
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 2: of the game, and then you've got irate people who

243
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 2: are ready to riot.

244
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 4: Right, yes, that's right, forget it, and it doesn't matter

245
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:24,839
Speaker 4: what happened on the fifty nine and a half minutes

246
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 4: before that. That call is the one that brushes the

247
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,559
Speaker 4: entire game, and everyone remember and everybody remembers.

248
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 3: So there you go. That's just the way. That's the

249
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 3: world we live in.

250
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 4: When you're going to get in these games with Pat

251
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,439
Speaker 4: Mahomes and Josh Allen, it's just going to be one

252
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 4: of those slugfests.

253
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 3: There you go.

254
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 2: This week's Divisional playoff game against the Chiefs is presented

255

Speaker 2: an easy one for some, for example people that have

266
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 2: to work third shift. That's a tough one. You know,

268

Speaker 2: on Twitter. They got back to us. We had the

273
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 2: one gentleman, I'm trying to remember what is issue you was,

274
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 2: and we came up with a solution for him, and

275
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 2: I remember him saying, you know, I never thought of that.

276
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 2: That's a great idea. I'm gonna do that, and then

277

290
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 2: in about fifteen sixteen minutes time, we're going to catch

291
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 2: up with former NFL quarterback Ryan Leaf, who was the

292
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 2: sideline reporter for Westwood one Radio this past week for

293
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 2: Bill Steelers, So we'll get his thoughts on the Bills

294
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 2: number one and then heading into the matchup with Bill's

295
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 2: Chiefs as well, so look forward to checking in with him.

296
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 2: Second hour of the show, we'll check in with former

297
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 2: Chiefs offensive lineman Mitchell Schwartz to find out what's going

298
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 2: on with the Chiefs this week. They are a healthier

299
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 2: group coming into this game, certainly than they were when

300
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 2: the Bills played him back in week fourteen. If you remember,

301
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 2: Isaiah Pacheco did not play in that game, among others.

302
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 4: Bill's had some guys out of that game as well,

303
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 4: And yeah, Daikwon Jo wasn't back yet and all that stuff.

304
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 4: And I don't even I can't even go back and

305
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 4: look at who played corner. It seems like was Rasul

306
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 4: Douglas on the field? Then yes, yeah, okay, so that's

307
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 4: probably a good thing for Buffalo having a game under

308
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 4: his belt.

309
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 3: But we'll see.

310
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 4: It's a lot of man, oh man, we've played these

311
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 4: this like, there's been six meaningful games for these club

312
00:15:56,240 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 4: regular season in playoffs, and it just feels like this

313
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 4: one feels way different than the others. First of all,

314
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 4: it's in Buffalo, and second of all, the.

315
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 3: Teams look different, really different.

316
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, you know, well whatever, I'm just let's go.

317
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 2: The Chiefs do have a long injury report, but more

318
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 2: than half of them were full participants on Wednesday. Here

319
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 2: are the players that are still in a little bit

320
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 2: of a question. You've got starting nose tackle Derek Noddy,

321
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 2: he did not practice with a tricep injury. Then you

322
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 2: have Sky Moore and Kadarius Tony along with Justin Ross.

323
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 2: All three of those receivers were limited in practice yesterday

324
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 2: with knee, hip, and hamstring injuries, respectively, and then Lajarius Sneave,

325
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 2: their top corner, was limited with a calf injury. So

326
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 2: those are the ones to keep an eye on as

327
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 2: we move into Thursday. Obviously, there an hour behind us

328
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 2: on Central Time, so we probably won't get much in

329
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 2: the way of a thirday injury report from them, and

330
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:05,159
Speaker 2: with the Bills just starting practice, we'll let our eyes

331
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 2: and ears out there on the practice field let us

332
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 2: know who is and who is not participating today when

333
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 2: the media viewing portion of practice concludes, So we'll get

334
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:21,119
Speaker 2: practice updates to you as soon as possible. I know

335
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:26,159
Speaker 2: I asked you this in the office, Steve, but of

336
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:29,680
Speaker 2: all the injured players that the Bills have on defense,

337
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 2: if you could pick one to definitely be back in

338
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 2: the lineup this week, who would you choose?

339
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 6: Well?

340
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:43,880
Speaker 2: Probably Terran, I think it's Tarran or Bernard right, Oh, yeah,

341
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 2: it's one of those two.

342
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 4: For Profaga and he's out. It might I might take Bernard,

343
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:54,120
Speaker 4: now I don't know. Yeah, I might take Bernard. Yeah, yeah,

344
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:55,440
Speaker 4: it's hard, that's right.

345
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 3: Can give me both? Can we have them both?

346
00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 7: Please?

347
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 3: Yeah? That's hard now And I didn't even think about

348
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,880
Speaker 3: him being her. Yeah, you're right now again, we know that.

349
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 2: Rasseeul Douglas told reporters after last week's game in the

350
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,640
Speaker 2: locker room, which he missed, that he would be good

351
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 2: to go this week. That would help. Tyrel Dodson did

352
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 2: not play this last week. If he can get back,

353
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 2: that would help. It would mitigate the losses to some degree.

354
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 2: It's not ideal, but it's certainly better than not having them.

355
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 3: Yeah.

356
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,159
Speaker 4: Yeah, but it's hard to believe you're gonna get all

357
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:31,880
Speaker 4: those guys. I mean, certainly Gabe's not.

358
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 3: Gonna be in.

359
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 2: You don't think so, I don't know.

360
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 3: I don't know.

361
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 4: Maybe, but you got like Benford, good grief, man. There's

362
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 4: a ton of dudes.

363
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 2: There are, There's no question about it.

364
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, just get some of them back, all right, Like

365
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 4: Leonard Floyd and Vonn they're gonna be in. It looks

366
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:00,440
Speaker 4: like Raeull Douglas is going to be in. That's that's

367
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 4: really big. I think Rasull Douglas being in, and of

368
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,199
Speaker 4: course Poyer and High Poyer and Hide being on the

369
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:08,160
Speaker 4: field is gonna be all right.

370
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 3: That's good.

371
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,919
Speaker 4: The front, the front seven is probably gonna be, you know,

372
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 4: completely healthy and ready to go with Linval, Joseph Daikwon

373
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 4: Jones ed down inside along with probably what's gonna be

374
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 4: probably Tim Settle down inside with those guys in the edge,

375
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 4: So all those guys are gonna be fine, and the

376
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,440
Speaker 4: back end Dodson comes back. I think that's big. I

377
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:35,159
Speaker 4: think it's a really big Yeah.

378
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 2: So he was limited in the walk through yesterday, Rasuell

379
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:41,200
Speaker 2: Douglas limited in the walk through yesterday, and Tarren Johnson

380
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 2: limited in the walk through yesterday, still in concussion protocol.

381
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 2: So if there's a way he can get he can

382
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:49,399
Speaker 2: clear the protocol by the end of the week, that

383
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:54,879
Speaker 2: would be a major boon to Buffalo's defensive player availability,

384
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 2: knowing how important he is to the whole ball of wax.

385
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, because here's the thing too, you don't want you

386
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 4: and the Bills are smart for doing it, particularly like

387
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 4: in this case with Rasul Douglas, he felt like he

388
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 4: wanted to go, He's gonna go, and the team said

389
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:13,359
Speaker 4: not just get get better, you know, get completely better,

390
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 4: get right. So he's done that an extra an extra

391
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 4: week is huge for a player. But you got a

392
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 4: guy like Taron Johnson, you got you know, Terrell Bernard. Say,

393
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,399
Speaker 4: those guys can get there, can't get back, get on

394
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:28,199
Speaker 4: the field, and all of a sudden, after one series

395
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 4: they can't go. You know, well, then not only are

396
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,119
Speaker 4: they not helping you, now they've already used up a

397
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 4: roster spot as well, and you don't have any depth

398
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 4: behind him. Now you're stuck again. So it's a smart

399
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 4: way to go because if those guys go out there

400
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 4: and they're not one hundred percent and they are more fragile,

401
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 4: Yeah you need you need do you need forty nine

402
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:52,200
Speaker 4: really good bodies?

403
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,679
Speaker 2: You know, forty nine really good bodies. I like the

404
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:59,919
Speaker 2: way you phrased that. Yeah, player availability counts.

405
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 3: It is.

406
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:02,639
Speaker 2: I mean, it's a battle of attrition. It really is,

407
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,639
Speaker 2: especially knowing that, you know, the last few years, teams

408
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 2: are playing one more regular season game than they used to.

409
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 2: Even if you're a top back. When you were in

410
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 2: the playoffs, Steve, you're on the top two playoff seeds,

411
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 2: you get the bye, and now it's just the top

412
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 2: playoff seed that gets the huge advantage.

413
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, it really is a big advantage for those teams,

414
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:26,400
Speaker 3: and which.

415
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 2: We may witness this week because the bye week teams

416
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 2: will be up this week, and if they lay the

417
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 2: wood to the other teams, you'll know they've been sitting

418
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 2: down for two weeks.

419
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:36,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's real.

420
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 2: You'll see a difference.

421
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:41,119
Speaker 4: You talk about two again, literally fourteen day or thirteen

422
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:44,199
Speaker 4: days off, it feels like a month. I mean you

423
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,680
Speaker 4: feel you feels so good after coming back from a

424
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:47,160
Speaker 4: bye week.

425
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 3: Oh my goodness.

426
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:50,879
Speaker 4: That's why some like these games. These teams that come

427
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 4: in there fly into the playoffs, like the Green Bays

428
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 4: and Houston and Buffalo too, all these teams that won

429
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 4: over the weekend, just rolling it right through a regular season.

430
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 4: You get in there with a team that's not only

431
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 4: rolling and playing well, but fresh at home.

432
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:11,200
Speaker 2: Let's quickly go around the NFL presented by Kalida Health,

433
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 2: the official healthcare system of the Buffalo Bills, and first

434
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 2: and foremost, it looks like Mike McCarthy is going to

435
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 2: retain his job. He's been the head coach of the

436
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 2: Dallas Cowboys since twenty twenty, but has never made it

437
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:30,399
Speaker 2: past the divisional round of the playoffs. Didn't make it

438
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 2: past the wild card round this year, but in a

439
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:38,719
Speaker 2: statement released by owner Jerry Jones, he said, there are

440
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 2: benefits to retaining our head coach going forward. It will

441
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:45,959
Speaker 2: benefit us here in the short run next year. So

442
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:50,400
Speaker 2: he has retained as head coach. That went over in

443
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:54,360
Speaker 2: some places like a lead balloon, namely Dallas where there

444
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 2: are a lot of fickle Cowboys fans. But I will

445
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 2: say this five, what are you going to McCarthy has

446
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 2: his flaws. I don't think there's any question about that.

447
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 2: But he took over play calling duties this year and

448
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 2: turned Dak Prescott into an MVP candidate for a minute

449
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 2: he did, which you can't well until he got to

450
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:17,919
Speaker 2: the playoffs. But you can't say that about Kellen Moore's

451
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 2: work with That's right, Dak Prescott the two years prior.

452
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 4: Or the or the work he did in LA this

453
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:28,439
Speaker 4: year with Justin Herbert coaching matters, no question about it.

454
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:32,639
Speaker 4: And and let's let's compare. Let's compare for a minute

455
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:34,919
Speaker 4: where we've been with Sean McDermott this year after you know,

456
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,159
Speaker 4: the hit piece was done on him and and he's

457
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 4: the thing about that's different that strike and I don't

458
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,439
Speaker 4: it may not be different, but it seems different right

459
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 4: from our million miles away. McDermott has always preached, and

460
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:50,639
Speaker 4: to you know, to the testimony of others who are

461
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 4: around him and in our own experience with him, he's

462
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 4: about getting back and learning tough lessons. You know, he's

463
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:58,879
Speaker 4: about getting better. This growth mindset we've all heard it

464
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:00,920
Speaker 4: is kind of part of his mont as a human being,

465
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 4: let alone a coach. So you think when you transpose

466
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 4: that onto what the Bills have done, you feel like

467
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:09,400
Speaker 4: you've got a guy that keep getting better, and when

468
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,199
Speaker 4: he does something wrong, he gets better from it and

469
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,639
Speaker 4: learns from it and does something different the next time.

470
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 4: I don't know if I see that in Mike McCarthy,

471
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 4: you know, some of these other guys McCarthy. And maybe

472
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 4: it's the way he looks. Maybe it's like Gret curmudging.

473
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 4: I'm not sure it's my way of the kind of guy, right,

474
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 4: You never like that, but he kind of comes off

475
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:28,920
Speaker 4: like that, right. Is he gonna learn from a twelve

476
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 4: and five room thinking, Wow, it was just one game.

477
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:32,440
Speaker 4: We're all right, let's just keep going on, keep doing

478
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 4: what we're doing. Well, not all the time, you know.

479
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 2: So.

480
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,200
Speaker 4: There's got to be something in there where, and certainly

481
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:42,920
Speaker 4: he's got an owner who's going to do this, say hey,

482
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 4: why didn't you know? What are you doing here? What's

483
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:46,680
Speaker 4: going Let's change this up a little bit. So there's

484
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 4: a little bit of that going on. I've said this

485
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:52,440
Speaker 4: all through this season, and whenever there's been a rough

486
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 4: patch for this club, we always go through it. Do

487
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 4: you want to bring in a new coach that has

488
00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 4: stuff that he's got to learn and get rid of

489
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,399
Speaker 4: the guy who's already learned tough lessons, who's going to

490
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 4: use him for your advantage?

491
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:06,679
Speaker 2: And I think that's the approach that Jerry Jones is

492
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:11,160
Speaker 2: taking here. Speaking of the Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn,

493
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 2: a lot of requests have been put in for him

494
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 2: to interview him as a head coaching candidate, and he

495
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:21,119
Speaker 2: had his first head coaching interview Wednesday night with the

496
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 2: Tennessee Titans. There are more to follow, so it looks

497
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 2: like he has a very good chance to land somewhere else. Then.

498
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 2: A small roster note for this weekend. Dalvin Cook, who

499
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 2: you remember, was signed to Baltimore's practice squad a week

500
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,880
Speaker 2: or so ago after he was released by the Jets.

501
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 2: Is now on their active roster. They waived veteran running

502
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 2: back Melvin Gordon to make room for Dalvin Cook, who

503
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:49,399
Speaker 2: will be on the postseason roster. So if the Bills

504
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,399
Speaker 2: win and the Ravens win, it could be a Cook

505
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:57,400
Speaker 2: versus Cook Reunigo. So you go, Yeah, that'll be interesting

506
00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 2: if that comes to pass. But yeah, I would imagine

507
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:01,920
Speaker 2: to get a little work, not the bulk of the work.

508
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 2: But he'll be I think he'll be up on Sunday

509
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:07,640
Speaker 2: against the Texans. We'll have to wait and see. As

510
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 2: we mentioned, the football Relationship hotline is open and ready

511
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 2: for you, and we're gonna go to the phones to

512
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 2: try to help somebody here. We lead off today with

513
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 2: Rick and Hamburg. What do you got for us?

514
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 3: Rick?

515
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 8: Hey, guys, So here's my situation. So I've got three kids,

516
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:30,120
Speaker 8: two boys and a girl. The boys are twelve and ten.

517
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 8: The daughter is eight and two. Oliver and in athletics.

518
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 8: Took the two boys and the wife of the game

519
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 8: last week. They had a blast, loved the whole snow

520
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 8: scene everything. I took them the Miami playoff game last

521
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:48,200
Speaker 8: year as well, but only their second, you know, real

522
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:51,719
Speaker 8: game they've been to and I've got another four tickets

523
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 8: for this week, the four of us, we're gonna plan

524
00:26:55,280 --> 00:27:00,360
Speaker 8: on going again. What my daughter has a gymnastics competition

525
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:05,159
Speaker 8: at three o'clock in Niagara Falls. Don't know if you're

526
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:10,399
Speaker 8: familiar these gymnetics competitions. This was news to me because

527
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 8: she just started this year. They lasted a solid three

528
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 8: plus hours. So if I go to that, I'm not

529
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,400
Speaker 8: even getting out of the Falls until after six o'clock

530
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 8: and probably missing kickoffs. So try telling my daughter, hey, look,

531
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 8: huge game. I don't think I'm going to be able

532
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:32,399
Speaker 8: to make it. She burst into tears, start saying you

533
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 8: gotta be there. Put in contact too. She's only had

534
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 8: three competitions. This is her third competition all year and

535
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 8: the last one and with the.

536
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:49,160
Speaker 9: Two boys she's from, Oh, you're breaking up on us here,

537
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:52,359
Speaker 9: all right?

538
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,199
Speaker 2: I think I have the general gist rick, But we

539
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:59,360
Speaker 2: lost you there with some bad sale service. You got

540
00:27:59,359 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 2: to go to the gym.

541
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 4: You gotta go to the gymnastic age and then and

542
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:04,719
Speaker 4: then go and then sprint to the stadium.

543
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 2: I mean, if you want to try to make the game,

544
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 2: try to do that. Turnaround as best you can. Send

545
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:13,359
Speaker 2: your wife and sons to the game ahead of time.

546
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:18,399
Speaker 2: And then if you there's a part of me that says,

547
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 2: don't even worry about being at the game in person.

548
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 2: I think, I think you gotta go with the game

549
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 2: on your phone or yeah, bring out iPad with you

550
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 2: or something.

551
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:28,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, well you could do.

552
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:30,399
Speaker 4: Get your get your daughter taken care of, get her

553
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,640
Speaker 4: squared away, sprint to the stadium, and if you can

554
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:36,359
Speaker 4: uber to the stadium so you can ride home with

555
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 4: your wife and kids, you know, get it somehow. Get

556
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 4: you're gonna be cause you're gonna have two vehicles there.

557
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 4: Send your wife, by the way, by all means, send

558
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 4: your wife and the boys early. Let them go because

559
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 4: they had such a great time. And you get there

560
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 4: when you can. Because think about this, even if you

561
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 4: missed the first quarter, the chances are this is going.

562
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 3: To be a barn burner anyway. You want to be

563
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 3: there for the end of it.

564
00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:00,080
Speaker 4: So and even so, even if it's a big win

565
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 4: or win it if any kind, you want to be

566
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 4: there at the end of the game to celebrate.

567
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 3: So that's what I would do, And I.

568
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 2: Would probably have your wife and kids, wife and boys

569
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 2: uber to the game. You drive right to the game

570
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 2: from Niagara Falls because that way they can go early.

571
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 2: When the gymnastics meets over, you just hop in the

572
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 2: car and go. You're not waiting for an uber to

573
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 2: show up and all that stuff. You just hop in

574
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:20,960
Speaker 2: the car and go.

575
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 4: Plus, if you're like me, you know, I me and

576
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 4: my bride are five children.

577
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 3: I have.

578
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 4: I have been pummeled my entire married life about being impatient,

579
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 4: and it's true. So if it's me going to the game,

580
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 4: I can hurry better than anybody. And I know you're

581
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 4: probably like most husbands can they don't they they they go,

582
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 4: they can focus. Most people can't focus like a dad

583
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 4: or a husband. So you're gonna be able to cover

584
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 4: that when you get when you get your daughter taken

585
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 4: care of her, and when you do our turn to

586
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:00,080
Speaker 4: loose for the game, You're you're gonna be able to

587
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 4: get in there faster than anybody else.

588
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 3: So don't Yeah, you'll be all right.

589
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 4: Because you're you're gonna be able to You know, you're

590
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 4: gonna be locking the doors, you're running away from the car,

591
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 4: You're gonna be running through the gates. You're gonna be

592
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 4: up there. You're trust me, you'll come through like that

593
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 4: I will.

594
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 2: I will just say this, as Steve and I say

595
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 2: all the time, planning ahead is critical.

596
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 3: Yeah.

597
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 2: So number one, if that's what you're gonna do, you

598
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 2: got to get obviously, get a ride home for your daughter.

599
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 2: Number two, I would talk to the gymnasis coach and

600
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 2: see if you can get a rundown for the event schedule,

601
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:37,719
Speaker 2: Know what events your daughter is in, and then promise

602
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 2: your daughter I will be there for every single one

603
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:44,960
Speaker 2: of your events, and then we'll regroup at home after the.

604
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 3: Bills game to review every that's good idea.

605
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 2: And that way you know if your daughter is not

606
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 2: doing the uneven bars and the vault, which are two

607
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 2: of the last events, you're out of there.

608
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, you've got a chance.

609
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 2: So plan ahead, know what the schedule is so, and

610
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 2: know where your daughter is and is not participating too so,

611
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 2: and then you give yourself a fighting chance. Otherwise, just

612
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 2: enjoy the afternoon with your watching your daughter compete. Because

613
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna tell you I miss watching my kids compete.

614
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 3: Yeah I did too.

615
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 4: I didn't get to watch some lot of micros those

616
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 4: years go fast. I didn't get a chance to watch

617
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 4: my boys play football a lot because I was doing

618
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 4: games and all gone weekends. You'll you'll and make sure

619

Speaker 2: We all got that. Those are one of That's one

622
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 2: of the few exceptions that Steve and I have on

623
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 2: the Football Relationship Hotline. You gotta you gotta be there

624
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 2: for the kids.

625
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 4: You'll remember that. You'll remember it if she gets the

626
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 4: gold medal more than you will.

627
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 2: Or if she sticks a landing on a vault or

628
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 2: something like that. It does at flip on the beam,

629
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 2: remember that forever be present. Yeah, gotta take a break here.

630
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 2: We'll take more of those calls on the Football Relationship Hotline.

631
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 2: But when we come back, we've got Ryan Leaf joining

632
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 2: us here to talk Bill Steeler wild card result because

633
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:03,760

Speaker 2: As you're with you here on a Thursday, and please

638
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 2: to be joined now by a guy that was all

639
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:46,960
Speaker 2: layered up on the sidelines yesterday or last week, i

640
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 2: should say, at the wild card game between the Bills

641
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 2: and the Steelers for Westwood One. It's former NFL quarterback

642
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 2: Ryan Leif joining us and Ryan, why don't you, why

643
00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 2: don't you give me your impressions of Buffalo weather in

644
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 2: the evening in January.

645
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,719
Speaker 11: I mean, I'm from Montana, so it Oh yeah, that's right,

646
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 11: And it was like minus thirty two where I was from.

647
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 11: My dad sent me a snapshot of it and he said,

648
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 11: you know it's you got it easy there. Well, the

649
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 11: difference in Buffalo and I was educated. You know a

650
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 11: lot this week was lake effect snow. Okay, didn't didn't

651
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 11: understand it, didn't know what it meant. I fully understand

652
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 11: it now. I got to see the lovely city of

653
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 11: Buffalo for four and a half days. Yeah, to call

654
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 11: that game, so yeah, it wasn't too cold. I forgot

655
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 11: about playing football in the cold too a little bit.

656
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:43,960
Speaker 11: You know, I've been I think I've been spoiled a

657
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 11: little bit over the last few years. But I tell

658
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 11: you what what warm Jeopardy Quick was Josh Allen and

659
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 11: how he played in that game.

660
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:54,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, that game came down to Josh. They got out

661
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 4: to the quick lead and then you know it was

662
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 4: twenty one nothing kind of wow. The Steelers were not

663
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,080
Speaker 4: built to get back into that game, although they climbed

664
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 4: back within seven points.

665
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 3: They never had the ball trailing seven.

666
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 4: The Bills got the ball right back after they closed

667
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:09,319
Speaker 4: the seven and went down and scored that touchdown and

668
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:11,839
Speaker 4: put it away. What were your thoughts about how that

669
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:14,719
Speaker 4: game played out? You know, we knew coming in, Steelers

670
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:16,400
Speaker 4: wanted to keep it close, close to the vest and

671
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 4: the Bills, you know, who knew how they were going

672
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:20,120
Speaker 4: to come out and play. What were your thoughts about

673
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 4: how that game unfolded.

674
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 11: Well, we'll talking with Dalton Kincaid after the game a

675
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:28,400
Speaker 11: little bit and Joe Brady before it. There was some

676
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:30,600
Speaker 11: things that they saw on film that they felt like

677
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:33,360
Speaker 11: they could really take advantage of. And it was clear

678
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:36,880
Speaker 11: as day with the lack of linebacker depth for the Steelers,

679
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:39,839
Speaker 11: they were going to attack Miles Jack and they were

680
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:41,239
Speaker 11: going to use their tight ends to do it. And

681
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 11: who you know, easily you could see the seam down

682
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 11: the middle, touchdown to Dalton in the corner route to

683
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:50,800
Speaker 11: Dawson Knox and that was what was really special. And

684
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:53,239
Speaker 11: then clearly you know, Josh was going to use his legs.

685
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:56,359
Speaker 11: I loved how he used his eyes to dictate coverage too.

686
00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:59,799
Speaker 11: I mean, he he manipulated coverage with his eyes so well.

687
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:02,960
Speaker 11: I've watched a lot of NFL games this year now,

688
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:04,719
Speaker 11: I haven't been down on the field like I was

689
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 11: as a sideline reporter, but still watching it from the booth.

690
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 11: The way he uses his eyes, he's taken the next

691
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 11: jump right. He really has in understanding and applying and

692
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:22,319
Speaker 11: being successful from it. The biggest thing for me is

693
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 11: that he can be that player at all times. He

694
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:27,880
Speaker 11: doesn't have to necessarily take a lot of these chances

695
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 11: that he just it's just it's in his nature to do.

696
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:35,279
Speaker 11: So I gave him the stat now he's seventeen to

697
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:37,799
Speaker 11: zero as a starting quarterback when he doesn't turn the

698
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:40,720
Speaker 11: football over. I mean, they don't lose when he doesn't

699
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 11: turn it over. So they're going to need that on Sunday.

700
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:47,760
Speaker 11: But he's playing at a very very high level right now.

701
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:50,799
Speaker 2: So Ryan, these two teams have not played in the

702
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:54,479
Speaker 2: playoffs against one another for two seasons now. Obviously, they've

703
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 2: played the last several years in the regular season, which

704
00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 2: Buffalo has won more often than not. But I think

705
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:05,400
Speaker 2: we all remember how entertaining that divisional playoff was. In

706
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:08,239
Speaker 2: January twenty twenty two, forty two to thirty six goes

707
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:14,080
Speaker 2: to overtime. What do you think is most different? Because

708
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 2: it's you know, you know how much teams and players

709
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:19,560
Speaker 2: and rosters change year to year. What do you think

710
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 2: is most different about each of these two teams this

711
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 2: time around?

712
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:27,360
Speaker 11: Well, clearly no Tyreek Hill. I think that's a big

713
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 11: factor though you know it, it didn't stop the offense

714
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:36,800
Speaker 11: for Buffalo, and I would say, you know, Gabe Davis

715
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:39,360
Speaker 11: seems like a bit of an afterthought in comparison to

716
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:42,359
Speaker 11: catching four touchdowns in that game. So, I mean there's

717
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:44,719
Speaker 11: a lot different. The defense is different. There's so much

718
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 11: back end of the defense, injuries that Buffalo's dealing with.

719
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:51,440
Speaker 11: You know, who's going to step up at wide receiver

720
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 11: for the Kansas City Chiefs? You know what does that

721
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 11: look like? There's a lot that's different for as much

722
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:01,799
Speaker 11: as the same in the quarter back play of two

723
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:04,040
Speaker 11: of the best to do it in the AFC, there's

724
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 11: a lot that has changed. There's a lot of scar

725
00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:12,240
Speaker 11: tissue that Sean McDermott whear's a round. I hope this

726
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:16,800
Speaker 11: matchup in this you know, divisional round is not triggering

727
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 11: for him. I mean, because there's something to be said

728
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:23,400
Speaker 11: about what pressure and stress does to people. You just

729
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:26,240
Speaker 11: don't quite ever know how it's going to be applied

730
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 11: and what you're going to do and react from it.

731
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:30,320
Speaker 11: I mean, if you had those thirteen seconds over again,

732
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 11: he would do that much differently. Would you squipkick it?

733
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:36,279
Speaker 11: Would you boot it through? Would you just jump on

734
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 11: people as soon as the snaps do and get a hold.

735
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 11: I mean, just any way to bring down that thirteen

736
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 11: seconds and how different it is and how good they

737
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 11: were that year. I suspect they would host Cincinnati and

738
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:47,279
Speaker 11: beat them down and go to the super Bowl. And

739
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:48,920
Speaker 11: I don't I just don't see anybody getting in the

740
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 11: way the rest of the way through that year, actually,

741
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 11: And so that's something that may haunt him. And how

742
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:58,279
Speaker 11: does he respond when, let's say something negative goes And

743
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 11: this is this is a big moment for Sean McDermott,

744
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:03,920
Speaker 11: the head football coach for the Buffalo Bills. I love

745
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:06,480
Speaker 11: him to death. He's been a huge supporter of mine

746
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:10,319
Speaker 11: for some time now, and so I want to see

747
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 11: him have a chance. I picked the Bills to win

748
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 11: a super Bowl this year before the season started. I

749
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 11: have Bills San Francisco Super Bowl. I had a Bills

750
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 11: at Ravens AFC Championship before the season started. So everything's

751
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:24,440
Speaker 11: kind of playing out the way that I anticipated. I

752
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:26,839
Speaker 11: didn't anticipate him to be six and six going into

753
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:27,319
Speaker 11: the bye week.

754
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:28,840
Speaker 3: To get where they're at, that's for sure.

755
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:31,400
Speaker 4: One of the things that happened last week against the

756
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:33,239
Speaker 4: Pittsburgh Teeters. What were your thoughts as you stood on

757
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:35,759
Speaker 4: the sidelines and every other play it seemed like the

758
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 4: Bills were losing a guy to injury on the defensive

759
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:39,320
Speaker 4: side of the.

760
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 3: Of the ball.

761
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 4: They cobbled it together and got out of there with

762
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 4: a win. What were your thoughts about how that happens

763
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:48,320
Speaker 4: when the team, what it does to the sidelines and

764
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:49,920
Speaker 4: their prospects about going forward.

765
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 11: Well, I mean, there was a lot of stuff on

766
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:54,239
Speaker 11: the sideline. You know, there was some there was some

767
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:57,920
Speaker 11: you know, body language stuff. You know, when Martin's hamstring

768
00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 11: issue came up, they were like, you know, hunting is

769
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 11: gonna be a big part of this, you know, make

770
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:06,440
Speaker 11: make sure they don't have good field position, the defensive backfield.

771
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:08,839
Speaker 11: I mean that's a huge factor. The fact they held

772
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:12,840
Speaker 11: out Rasul Douglas I think made them feel pretty comfortable

773
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:13,920
Speaker 11: with what they were gonna be able to do in

774
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:16,759
Speaker 11: the passing game even if guys got banged up. Uh,

775
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:20,400
Speaker 11: and and expect to have him back this week. You know,

776
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:25,120
Speaker 11: the Bernard injury that looked bad doesn't sound like it's

777
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:28,640
Speaker 11: necessarily as as bad as what everybody felt like it

778
00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 11: was in the moment. Then you saw a Kleine step

779
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 11: up coming. You know, that's just an unbelievable story now,

780
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:38,000
Speaker 11: you know, talking with von Miller after the game, I

781
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:42,800
Speaker 11: was I was asking him some questions about the depth

782
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:47,279
Speaker 11: at edge and on the defensive front, and that was

783
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 11: the biggest thing that I think could be the difference

784
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:51,680
Speaker 11: maker in this game, the fact that they are struggling

785
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:54,640
Speaker 11: middle of the field, back end of the field on

786
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:57,719
Speaker 11: the defensive side, but where they're not, uh, they are

787
00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:00,360
Speaker 11: deep up front and they got to get to the corequarterback.

788
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 11: That's just how it's gonna have to be. You get

789
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:04,319
Speaker 11: to Patrick Mahomes, You make them feel you, You make

790
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:06,279
Speaker 11: them throw it a little bit early, a little bit late,

791
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:10,960
Speaker 11: Turnovers happened, guys, mispasses, all that stuff. So I like

792
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:13,799
Speaker 11: their chances because of how deep the defensive line is

793
00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:17,400
Speaker 11: and how they can rotate. I mean, heck, von Miler

794
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:18,840
Speaker 11: is the one coming and rushing the ends at the

795
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:20,640
Speaker 11: very end of the game, after sitting on the sideline

796
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:23,600
Speaker 11: all game long, cold and he still was getting pressures

797
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:25,960
Speaker 11: and getting after the quarterback Daikwon Jones being back, I

798
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:29,280
Speaker 11: think that's a huge deal that allowed for at Oliver,

799
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:32,080
Speaker 11: I think, to make a real impact early on in

800
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:37,399
Speaker 11: that game, and so I didn't. Russo's not six to six.

801
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:40,040
Speaker 11: Russo's like six ' nine. It feels like us. I'm

802
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:41,719
Speaker 11: six six, and I felt like I was looking up

803
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:44,720
Speaker 11: to him on the sideline. That dude's a giant, long arms,

804
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 11: long reach. I like their defensive front. I think that's

805
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:50,040
Speaker 11: gonna be the that's gonna what That's what we'll make

806
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:52,680
Speaker 11: up for those injuries on the back end, I do believe.

807
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:56,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, And taking that a step further, Ryan, the Chiefs

808
00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:59,000
Speaker 2: got to play this thing on the road. Their tackles

809
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:01,600
Speaker 2: have had problems all season long. They commit a lot

810
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 2: of penalties. What does coach McDermott have to do to

811
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:08,160
Speaker 2: make sure he gets the one on ones that he

812
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:12,359
Speaker 2: wants on the edges to take advantage of those matchups.

813
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:15,000
Speaker 2: To your point, well.

814
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:17,120
Speaker 11: Yeah, I think he probably got to come with some

815
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:22,320
Speaker 11: some different exotic blitzes, maybe utilize you know, Micah on

816
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:24,560
Speaker 11: the perimeter kind of bring him up into the gay gap.

817
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:24,880
Speaker 3: Maybe.

818
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:26,840
Speaker 11: I don't know, you know, there's a lot that could happen.

819
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:29,600
Speaker 11: Jordan Hoyer doing some different things where they can get

820
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:32,480
Speaker 11: some some double teams that have to squeeze where you

821
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:34,360
Speaker 11: get the one on ones on the outside there, and

822
00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 11: then I think you can run some games with them,

823
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:37,920
Speaker 11: you know, I think you can run some you know,

824
00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:42,200
Speaker 11: some some tackle unders and edges coming on the inside,

825
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:44,440
Speaker 11: trying to get some inside pressure with some of those

826
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:46,799
Speaker 11: long arm, big guys to make Patrick move.

827
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:48,200
Speaker 8: Big part of it, though.

828
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:49,759
Speaker 11: Third down, third down is going to be such a

829
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:53,000
Speaker 11: huge down, as it always is situationally in this league.

830
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:56,160
Speaker 11: But to make sure and keep him inside the pocket,

831
00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:58,000
Speaker 11: and if you do let him get outside of it,

832
00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 11: you gotta have somebody out there on the edge to

833
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:03,160
Speaker 11: funnel him back into the tacklers. You cannot let him

834
00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:06,720
Speaker 11: just run around and get on the perimeter and get

835
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:09,320
Speaker 11: and pick up those first downs because those are killers.

836
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:15,000
Speaker 11: Those are just absolutely monumental motivation and life sucking killers

837
00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:20,040
Speaker 11: that Patrick Mahomes has become a star at. Now Having

838
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:23,279
Speaker 11: said that, we have no idea what Patrick Mahomes on

839
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:26,399
Speaker 11: the road in the playoffs looks like ever, He's never

840
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:28,600
Speaker 11: done it. This will be the first time. It's going

841
00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:32,120
Speaker 11: to be cold, it's going to be loud, it's going

842
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 11: to be late Sunday, all of that, and so as

843
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:40,080
Speaker 11: much nerves as maybe Sean McDermott may have having a

844
00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:43,160
Speaker 11: divisional game against the Kansas City Chiefs once again, I

845
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:45,000
Speaker 11: think there's going to be a little bit of nerves

846
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:47,120
Speaker 11: for Patrick Mahomes after what the season has looked like,

847
00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:50,360
Speaker 11: the way people have ought, you know, the optics of

848
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:52,879
Speaker 11: him a little bit this year, and how he's dealt

849
00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:55,000
Speaker 11: with some things, and his first time on the road,

850
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:57,399
Speaker 11: how will he cope with that because we haven't seen

851
00:42:57,400 --> 00:42:57,800
Speaker 11: it before.

852
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:00,920
Speaker 3: Good stuff, Ryan, Thanks for doing it. I hope you

853
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:02,080
Speaker 3: enjoyed your time in Buffalo.

854
00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:03,920
Speaker 4: Hopefully you'll be back here for one of these games

855
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:05,959
Speaker 4: coming up, maybe even the championship game.

856
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:10,080
Speaker 11: Well, I'll be in Baltimore this weekend. So if if

857
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:12,879
Speaker 11: Houston pulls the upset, which I don't think they will,

858
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:15,600
Speaker 11: but if they do, yeah, I'll Uh. I don't think

859
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:17,600
Speaker 11: I'm going to San Francisco. I told my boss, I'm

860
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:20,080
Speaker 11: like I'm not flying across the country, but it took

861
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:22,480
Speaker 11: me just as long to fly to Buffalo and back

862
00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:24,880
Speaker 11: to New York as it probably would to get me

863
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:26,840
Speaker 11: to San Francisco with the with the lake effect.

864
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:29,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, we had some flight to ladies for sure. Ryan,

865
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:31,319

Speaker 12: Hey boys, I'm glad to be on with you today.

880
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:30,239
Speaker 12: My problem starts with I've been married for forty eight

881
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:33,840
Speaker 12: years to my husband, Jim, the same man, and we

882
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:37,080
Speaker 12: have been stuck in this house for six days now.

883
00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:41,560
Speaker 12: But he's complaining. He's complaining that I'm watching too much

884
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:44,840
Speaker 12: sports and too much football over the weekend because I

885
00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 12: watched all the playoff games. I want to just kind

886
00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:49,360
Speaker 12: of study to see who could be our you know,

887
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:53,000
Speaker 12: we could be our next opponents and things, and I'm

888
00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:55,880
Speaker 12: trying to stay on top of it. And I'm just

889
00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:57,840
Speaker 12: and I hear him laughing, so he must be on

890
00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:01,680
Speaker 12: the other line. I'm sorry about that, but I just

891
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:03,680
Speaker 12: don't know quite what to do about a man who

892
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:08,400
Speaker 12: had complained that his wife likes too much football.

893
00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:10,839
Speaker 2: And apparently likes to eavesdrop as well.

894
00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:15,279
Speaker 12: He wasn't in on this phone call, so I don't know.

895
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:16,560
Speaker 12: I don't know if that's okay.

896
00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:20,440
Speaker 7: But my side of the story is, you guys keep

897
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:23,080
Speaker 7: occupying because I got a project. He's looking over my

898
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:25,359
Speaker 7: back all the time. You know, I'm doing this wrong,

899
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:28,359
Speaker 7: that wrong. So she sits there and she just loves

900
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:30,839
Speaker 7: you guys, and I love you guys too, but she's

901
00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:32,920
Speaker 7: just sitting there. I just walk away and say, okay,

902
00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:36,839
Speaker 7: she's occupied. For a couple hours, Okay, that's not all

903
00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:37,239
Speaker 7: the time.

904
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:39,080
Speaker 12: He does a lot of complaining. And he's going to

905
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:40,560
Speaker 12: hang up now on the phone.

906
00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:41,600
Speaker 8: This is my call.

907
00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:44,400
Speaker 3: Well, I'll just say this. I'm going want to let

908
00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:46,040
Speaker 3: them say this isn't really a really.

909
00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:54,279
Speaker 4: Really serious problem you have anything here with him? For well,

910
00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:56,200
Speaker 4: I knew, I knew we're up against when you said

911
00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:58,359
Speaker 4: your your problem starts out that you've been married for

912
00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:02,080
Speaker 4: forty years to the same guy. That when your problem

913
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:04,120
Speaker 4: starts out like that, I I I know that we're

914
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:06,239
Speaker 4: we're going down a rabbit hole of brownie, and I

915
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:07,360
Speaker 4: may not be able to help you.

916
00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:12,239
Speaker 2: I will, I will say this. What is what is

917
00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:13,040
Speaker 2: your husband's name?

918
00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:13,319
Speaker 3: Barb?

919
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:16,120
Speaker 8: Jim, Jim Jim.

920
00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:19,960
Speaker 2: You've got it really good, dude. There. I can't tell

921
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:25,000
Speaker 2: you how many men who love sports would kill to

922
00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:29,560
Speaker 2: have a spouse like Barb loves watching football.

923
00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:33,399
Speaker 7: Like You're exactly right in some ways, but in other

924
00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:36,279
Speaker 7: ways it's like, you know, get out of my man

925
00:46:36,400 --> 00:46:37,600
Speaker 7: cave sometimes.

926
00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:42,440
Speaker 2: Oh so this is a territorial thing. Okay, now I

927
00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:44,520
Speaker 2: think I'm getting a better sense of what's what's in

928
00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:45,280
Speaker 2: play here.

929
00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:48,279
Speaker 12: Wait a minute, now, I'm the decorator of it. We

930
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:50,040
Speaker 12: have all our bill stuff all out.

931
00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:52,520
Speaker 2: Okay. So so it may be a man cave, but

932
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:57,240
Speaker 2: it was a team effort in putting it together. Okay,

933
00:46:57,440 --> 00:46:59,520
Speaker 2: So I mean you got you gotta give a little

934
00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:02,680
Speaker 2: leeway to the you know, the assistant foreman on the

935
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:03,319
Speaker 2: job here.

936
00:47:03,640 --> 00:47:06,440
Speaker 4: I'll say this, and I say, we appreciate you calling.

937
00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:09,759
Speaker 4: This is awesome to hear from you, Jim, Barb. But

938
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:11,640
Speaker 4: you've been together forty eight years. I don't know that

939
00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:13,799
Speaker 4: Brownie and I have any wisdom more waking that you

940
00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:14,279
Speaker 4: have not.

941
00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:18,960
Speaker 2: Figured it out this long. All I can say is

942
00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:22,240
Speaker 2: keep on keeping on, Yeah, keep on keeping on. Maybe

943
00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:26,719
Speaker 2: exercise maybe exercise a little bit more tolerance, because I'm

944
00:47:26,719 --> 00:47:29,040
Speaker 2: telling you right now, I can. I mean I can

945
00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:31,880
Speaker 2: count off the top of my head ten guys that

946
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:34,200
Speaker 2: I know that would kill to have a spouse that

947
00:47:34,239 --> 00:47:38,640
Speaker 2: watches that much football. You got it pretty good, Jim.

948
00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:42,839
Speaker 2: Count your blessings. Count your blessings more than anything else.

949
00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:46,399
Speaker 2: All right, take care and thanks Barb for calling in.

950
00:47:47,160 --> 00:47:50,600
Speaker 2: You are well within your rights, especially this time of year,

951
00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:53,480
Speaker 2: to watch as much football as you damn well please.

952
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:56,200
Speaker 3: Because it's not you know, you got three more weekends.

953
00:47:57,239 --> 00:47:57,560
Speaker 3: That's it.

954
00:47:57,840 --> 00:48:02,160
Speaker 2: That is a first on the football relationship. One member

955
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:05,200
Speaker 2: of the household calling about the other with the other

956
00:48:05,360 --> 00:48:07,160
Speaker 2: eavesdropping on the other phone.

957
00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:07,400
Speaker 3: In the house.

958
00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:10,919
Speaker 2: That is a new one. And I mean we were

959
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:13,440
Speaker 2: doing double double couples therapy.

960
00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:16,360
Speaker 4: And and a wife being told she watches too much TV.

961
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:18,359
Speaker 2: That's a new one for that is good.

962
00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:22,840
Speaker 3: Bless their heart. Complaints coming all sizes and shapes, Brownie.

963
00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:27,480
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, and as you said right at the top,

964
00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:28,800
Speaker 2: this is a minor issue.

965
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:31,480
Speaker 3: This does it sound like a deal breaker.

966
00:48:31,520 --> 00:48:35,480
Speaker 2: It's a minor issue. I mean he even said he

967
00:48:35,560 --> 00:48:39,440
Speaker 2: even said she watches our show all the time. He said,

968
00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:41,600
Speaker 2: that's great for me because then I got two hours

969
00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:43,239
Speaker 2: to go work on a project, right, I want to

970
00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:45,799
Speaker 2: take care of So he sounds like a tinkerer. He's

971
00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:48,000
Speaker 2: probably down in his workshop all the time. He should

972
00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:51,360
Speaker 2: be happy. Barb's watching football keeping herself busy. That's awesome

973
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:54,719
Speaker 2: to me. There's a solution within the problem as I

974
00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:57,360
Speaker 2: see it. I don't know, maybe I'm talking out of

975
00:48:57,400 --> 00:49:01,960
Speaker 2: school because I haven't been married that long, but I mean,

976
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:04,520
Speaker 2: that's good for you. Forty eight years, God, bless you.

977
00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:07,239
Speaker 2: Hope you hope you have another forty eight and Barb,

978
00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:09,279
Speaker 2: watch as much football as you damn well please. That's

979
00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:11,960
Speaker 2: all I'm gonna say. We could take more of your

980
00:49:11,960 --> 00:49:15,799
Speaker 2: phone calls in the second hour of the show. But

981
00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:19,960
Speaker 2: coming up next, we're gonna check in on the Chiefs

982
00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:24,640
Speaker 2: with former Chiefs offensive lineman Mitchell Schwartz. Played five seasons

983
00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:28,080
Speaker 2: in Kansas City. We'll check in with him on what's

984
00:49:28,120 --> 00:49:30,239
Speaker 2: going on with Kansas City as they get ready for

985
00:49:30,320 --> 00:49:35,040
Speaker 2: their first road playoff game in the Patrick Mahomes era.

986
00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:37,360
Speaker 2: We'll do that next here on One Bill's Live presented

987
00:49:37,400 --> 00:51:10,200
Speaker 2: by co Lot of Health. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio.

988
00:50:25,920 --> 00:50:30,040
Speaker 1: The One Bills Live presented by Kaleida Health.

989
00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:32,879
Speaker 2: All Right, hour number two here on a Thursday, Chris Brown,

990
00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:35,920
Speaker 2: Steve Tasker with you, and I'm gonna talk some Chiefs

991
00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:39,040
Speaker 2: now with a guy who's worn the uniform, former Chiefs

992
00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:43,400
Speaker 2: offensive lineman Mitchell Schwartz, nine year offensive lineman in the NFL,

993
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:46,319
Speaker 2: also won Super Bowl fifty four with the Chiefs and

994
00:50:46,600 --> 00:50:48,760
Speaker 2: kind of keeps an eye on that football team now

995
00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:52,520
Speaker 2: and Mitchell, thanks for joining us. Number one number two,

996
00:50:52,560 --> 00:50:56,600
Speaker 2: I'm going to start in your wheelhouse first road playoff

997
00:50:56,640 --> 00:51:00,600
Speaker 2: game in the Mahomes era, and I would say the

998
00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:04,520
Speaker 2: biggest task probably falls on the two offensive tackles for

999
00:51:04,719 --> 00:51:07,680
Speaker 2: Kansas City, and we know one of them, Juwan Taylor,

1000
00:51:07,680 --> 00:51:09,960
Speaker 2: has been flagged an awful lot this season. And I

1001
00:51:09,960 --> 00:51:12,480
Speaker 2: don't have to tell you how much more difficult communication,

1002
00:51:13,040 --> 00:51:15,320
Speaker 2: silent count and all that stuff gets on the road.

1003
00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:19,200
Speaker 2: Has that been talked about it all, you know amongst

1004
00:51:19,239 --> 00:51:20,080
Speaker 2: the Chiefs this week?

1005
00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:20,359
Speaker 3: Yet?

1006
00:51:22,600 --> 00:51:22,759
Speaker 11: Oh?

1007
00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:23,040
Speaker 13: Yeah?

1008
00:51:23,120 --> 00:51:25,560
Speaker 5: And I think it's a huge coaching point for Juwan

1009
00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:28,600
Speaker 5: in particular because he likes the timeout betsnap count as

1010
00:51:28,680 --> 00:51:31,160
Speaker 5: quickly as he can, and you know, the Chiefs don't

1011
00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:34,480
Speaker 5: necessarily have the most rhythmic cadence as well, so I

1012
00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:36,399
Speaker 5: think that kind of plays into why he's jumping off

1013
00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:38,560
Speaker 5: sides a little more often on the road. And so

1014
00:51:38,719 --> 00:51:40,680
Speaker 5: you go into Buffalo and this is going to be

1015
00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:43,000
Speaker 5: probably the one of the loudest crowds these guys have

1016
00:51:43,080 --> 00:51:46,040
Speaker 5: ever seen. And it's you know, going to be cold,

1017
00:51:46,040 --> 00:51:47,719
Speaker 5: it's going to be frustrating at times, and you're going

1018
00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:50,359
Speaker 5: to have to keep your composure. And my biggest thing,

1019
00:51:50,360 --> 00:51:53,040
Speaker 5: aside from just those two tackles is what's the operation

1020
00:51:53,120 --> 00:51:54,640
Speaker 5: going to look like? You know, is pat going to

1021
00:51:54,719 --> 00:51:57,000
Speaker 5: have enough time breaking the huddle, to get to the line,

1022
00:51:57,080 --> 00:51:59,040
Speaker 5: to get into you know, getting through all his checks,

1023
00:51:59,080 --> 00:52:01,120
Speaker 5: to read the defense, to shifts and the motions, and

1024
00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:03,239
Speaker 5: to not be pushing up against the play clock. And

1025
00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:05,200
Speaker 5: then all of a sudden, those defensive lignment you know,

1026
00:52:05,239 --> 00:52:06,520
Speaker 5: I'm sure Vaughn's been teaching them.

1027
00:52:06,640 --> 00:52:07,480
Speaker 3: You know, three to.

1028
00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:10,120
Speaker 5: One, you can start to get that a little bit

1029
00:52:10,120 --> 00:52:11,440
Speaker 5: of a jump because you know the ball has to

1030
00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:14,680
Speaker 5: be snapped. And so that's to me the biggest part

1031
00:52:14,800 --> 00:52:18,160
Speaker 5: what the rhythm of the game looks like. Are the

1032
00:52:18,160 --> 00:52:20,000
Speaker 5: play calls you getting into pad, is he getting the

1033
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:22,719
Speaker 5: guys to the line, And then obviously offensive line wise,

1034
00:52:22,719 --> 00:52:24,640
Speaker 5: are those two tackles getting off the ball and are

1035
00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:28,080
Speaker 5: they getting to their spots comfortably? Because if you you know,

1036
00:52:28,120 --> 00:52:29,840
Speaker 5: feel like you're not getting to that spot at the

1037
00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:33,840
Speaker 5: right depth and the right quickness, that's when uncomfortability and

1038
00:52:33,880 --> 00:52:37,440
Speaker 5: your own technique tends to happen, and that's when you lose,

1039
00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:39,319
Speaker 5: regardless of what you're doing out there.

1040
00:52:39,480 --> 00:52:40,920
Speaker 4: One of the things I went back and watched a

1041
00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:43,200
Speaker 4: little bit of the first game that these two teams

1042
00:52:43,239 --> 00:52:45,400
Speaker 4: played back in It's only week fourteen, it wasn't that

1043
00:52:45,480 --> 00:52:48,000
Speaker 4: long ago, but it's one of the things that happens

1044
00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:51,160
Speaker 4: that and you know this too. You get away with

1045
00:52:51,200 --> 00:52:53,279
Speaker 4: as much as you can get away with, right, So

1046
00:52:53,880 --> 00:52:56,080
Speaker 4: sometimes when you see tackles go on the road and

1047
00:52:56,239 --> 00:52:59,160
Speaker 4: the Bills do this and the Chiefs do this, if

1048
00:52:59,160 --> 00:53:02,239
Speaker 4: you can't hear the snap count, like, give us an

1049
00:53:02,280 --> 00:53:05,080
Speaker 4: idea of where a tackle's eyes would be, and also

1050
00:53:05,360 --> 00:53:08,080
Speaker 4: about how what happens if he starts to edge away

1051
00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:10,160
Speaker 4: from the line of scrimp, you know, lining up as

1052
00:53:10,160 --> 00:53:12,080
Speaker 4: a wing back rather than a tackle kind of things,

1053
00:53:12,160 --> 00:53:14,239
Speaker 4: because they want to get a jump on the edge rusher. Right,

1054
00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:17,000
Speaker 4: So give us some insight as to all the mindset

1055
00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:19,640
Speaker 4: and what you can get away with. How far are

1056
00:53:19,680 --> 00:53:21,640
Speaker 4: the officials will let you go before they either say

1057
00:53:21,640 --> 00:53:23,680
Speaker 4: something to you or where they just throw the flag.

1058
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:26,680
Speaker 4: Give us some insight as to how all that mechanism works.

1059
00:53:28,280 --> 00:53:30,799
Speaker 5: Yeah, in terms of alignment, you're typically lining up off

1060
00:53:30,920 --> 00:53:32,879
Speaker 5: the guard. You know, he's the one that gets set

1061
00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:35,360
Speaker 5: next to the center, and then you have a certain

1062
00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:37,480
Speaker 5: width away from him that you want to be and

1063
00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:40,279
Speaker 5: then you have a certain depth depending on you know,

1064
00:53:40,280 --> 00:53:41,680
Speaker 5: if your guard is a guy that likes to line

1065
00:53:41,719 --> 00:53:44,120
Speaker 5: up more on the ball, then the tackle will be

1066
00:53:44,200 --> 00:53:46,759
Speaker 5: more behind him if he likes to be deeper. You know,

1067
00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:49,000
Speaker 5: old school Marshal Yonda, he was crazy off the ball

1068
00:53:49,040 --> 00:53:51,520
Speaker 5: and he and his right tackle were always head to

1069
00:53:51,560 --> 00:53:53,480
Speaker 5: head because Yonda was so far off the ball, the

1070
00:53:53,480 --> 00:53:56,640
Speaker 5: tackle couldn't be anymore further back from him. And so

1071
00:53:57,239 --> 00:53:59,560
Speaker 5: that's the starting point. Now in silent, you have to

1072
00:53:59,560 --> 00:54:01,719
Speaker 5: be able to see the center's you know, head, if

1073
00:54:01,719 --> 00:54:03,440
Speaker 5: it's the head, and some teams use an arm or

1074
00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:04,920
Speaker 5: some other things, but for the most part, it's the

1075
00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:07,680
Speaker 5: tackle or the center's head that is the mechanism for

1076
00:54:07,719 --> 00:54:10,319
Speaker 5: the snapcount. So in a normal sense, if you have

1077
00:54:10,360 --> 00:54:12,279
Speaker 5: a guard that's a little bit more on the line,

1078
00:54:12,320 --> 00:54:14,719
Speaker 5: the tackles a little further back. If you're at home

1079
00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:16,720
Speaker 5: and it's verbal and you're just listening to the quarterback

1080
00:54:16,760 --> 00:54:18,840
Speaker 5: behind you, it doesn't matter if you can see the

1081
00:54:18,880 --> 00:54:21,160
Speaker 5: center's head or not, because that's not an indicator. But

1082
00:54:21,360 --> 00:54:23,360
Speaker 5: on the road, and with how light it's going to

1083
00:54:23,360 --> 00:54:25,200
Speaker 5: be this weekend, you know, the tackles are going to

1084
00:54:25,280 --> 00:54:27,120
Speaker 5: have to be able to align in a position to

1085
00:54:27,160 --> 00:54:29,960
Speaker 5: see the center's head. And so from there, your eyes,

1086
00:54:30,239 --> 00:54:32,760
Speaker 5: you know, have to be inside because that's the mechanism

1087
00:54:32,840 --> 00:54:34,640
Speaker 5: you have to be able to see what the center's doing.

1088
00:54:34,920 --> 00:54:37,480
Speaker 5: And so some guys, you know, old school Green Bay,

1089
00:54:37,520 --> 00:54:41,879
Speaker 5: they would stare inside really aggressively and their timing would

1090
00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:44,919
Speaker 5: basically be to like turn their heads as they were

1091
00:54:44,960 --> 00:54:47,080
Speaker 5: getting out of the their cadence. Green Bay had a

1092
00:54:47,080 --> 00:54:49,680
Speaker 5: relatively quick, silent cadence, but they were really good at

1093
00:54:49,719 --> 00:54:51,759
Speaker 5: doing a lot of fakes and so they could time

1094
00:54:51,800 --> 00:54:53,960
Speaker 5: it up really well. Most guys kind of keep their

1095
00:54:53,960 --> 00:54:56,520
Speaker 5: head pointing straight ahead. Their eyes will be inside, so

1096
00:54:56,640 --> 00:54:58,759
Speaker 5: there's not as much head movement. You know, some guys

1097
00:54:58,800 --> 00:55:00,839
Speaker 5: feel like if their heads and and then their heads

1098
00:55:00,840 --> 00:55:03,040
Speaker 5: going outside at the snap, that opens them up where

1099
00:55:03,040 --> 00:55:05,000
Speaker 5: that pulls their technique away from where they need to be.

1100
00:55:05,800 --> 00:55:08,399
Speaker 5: So those are the mechanism and so what you're looking

1101
00:55:08,440 --> 00:55:10,120
Speaker 5: at offensive line wise, and this is where you know

1102
00:55:10,160 --> 00:55:12,759
Speaker 5: Buffalo is going to have an advantage Defensively. You can

1103
00:55:12,840 --> 00:55:15,880
Speaker 5: kind of move guys around before that snapcout happens because

1104
00:55:16,200 --> 00:55:18,080
Speaker 5: you know, tackles their eyes are inside. And if you're

1105
00:55:18,120 --> 00:55:21,720
Speaker 5: running five man protections and you have certain blitz responsibilities

1106
00:55:21,760 --> 00:55:23,680
Speaker 5: where you have to break off a passet because a

1107
00:55:23,680 --> 00:55:26,960
Speaker 5: linebacker is blitzing. You know, usually when you're at home

1108
00:55:27,000 --> 00:55:29,120
Speaker 5: you can stare at that linebacker and you're gonna have

1109
00:55:29,440 --> 00:55:32,479
Speaker 5: every indicator knowing what's his body language, is the honest hose?

1110
00:55:32,520 --> 00:55:35,160
Speaker 5: Does you feel like a threat to blitz on this play?

1111
00:55:35,520 --> 00:55:38,520
Speaker 5: And so sometimes in those empty protections where tackles have

1112
00:55:38,560 --> 00:55:41,799
Speaker 5: to sift, that's where the defense has an advantage when

1113
00:55:41,840 --> 00:55:44,160
Speaker 5: they're the home team because the tackle is looking inside

1114
00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:46,880
Speaker 5: and then they're so used to all right, timing it up.

1115
00:55:46,880 --> 00:55:49,120
Speaker 5: I'm gonna go look at my defensive end and oh, man,

1116
00:55:49,160 --> 00:55:51,560
Speaker 5: I just missed the linebacker. He's already fired and you're

1117
00:55:51,600 --> 00:55:53,960
Speaker 5: too late to pick it up. So there's a lot

1118
00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:55,600
Speaker 5: of stuff that goes on in terms of you know,

1119
00:55:55,640 --> 00:55:57,440
Speaker 5: even just getting a line where your eyes are all

1120
00:55:57,440 --> 00:55:59,279
Speaker 5: the different things you have to be aware of. You know,

1121
00:55:59,320 --> 00:56:02,560
Speaker 5: as an offensive well, is that slot guy maybe we're

1122
00:56:02,560 --> 00:56:04,799
Speaker 5: sliding to the right, but is that slot guy got

1123
00:56:04,800 --> 00:56:07,080
Speaker 5: a safety use rotating over him late? You have no

1124
00:56:07,200 --> 00:56:09,760
Speaker 5: chance of seeing late safety rotation as an offensive tackle

1125
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:11,399
Speaker 5: when you're on the road and you're having to look

1126
00:56:11,400 --> 00:56:14,400
Speaker 5: at the center's cadence. So being clued into oh that

1127
00:56:14,400 --> 00:56:16,439
Speaker 5: guy's gonna blitz, now I know my defensive end's gonna

1128
00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:18,279
Speaker 5: spike inside and maybe I can be more prepared for

1129
00:56:18,360 --> 00:56:20,640
Speaker 5: that on you know, a second and eight run blitz

1130
00:56:20,640 --> 00:56:23,200
Speaker 5: where they're coming off the edge. So all those things

1131
00:56:23,239 --> 00:56:25,400
Speaker 5: you got to try to find a way to be

1132
00:56:25,440 --> 00:56:27,320
Speaker 5: as aware as you can. But at the end of

1133
00:56:27,360 --> 00:56:29,640
Speaker 5: the day, your eyes have to be inside on the center.

1134
00:56:30,080 --> 00:56:32,080
Speaker 2: That might have been the most comprehensive breakdown I have

1135
00:56:32,160 --> 00:56:34,200
Speaker 2: ever heard of that in terms of the road I

1136
00:56:34,200 --> 00:56:36,879
Speaker 2: did no home field advantages. That was fantastic. Yeah, I'm

1137
00:56:36,880 --> 00:56:38,680
Speaker 2: glad we asked an offensive tackle for that.

1138
00:56:38,760 --> 00:56:40,680
Speaker 3: I gotta be honest, I didn't know what I was asking.

1139
00:56:44,239 --> 00:56:47,680
Speaker 2: Let's take that a step further, Mitchell, because as you know,

1140
00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:51,520
Speaker 2: the offense for the Chiefs, particularly in the passing game,

1141
00:56:51,640 --> 00:56:56,360
Speaker 2: has had some measure of disconnect this season. It hasn't

1142
00:56:56,400 --> 00:56:59,560
Speaker 2: been the well oiled machine that we are accustomed to

1143
00:56:59,680 --> 00:57:02,480
Speaker 2: seeing it be for the last several years, going all

1144
00:57:02,480 --> 00:57:04,279
Speaker 2: the way back to even when you were lining up

1145
00:57:04,280 --> 00:57:09,000
Speaker 2: and protecting Patrick. So with that in mind and some

1146
00:57:09,040 --> 00:57:13,120
Speaker 2: of the road challenges that you just outlined, you know,

1147
00:57:13,200 --> 00:57:16,680
Speaker 2: this is an offense that has leaned on Pachecko, maybe

1148
00:57:16,720 --> 00:57:19,040
Speaker 2: more than they've leaned on running backs in the past.

1149
00:57:19,880 --> 00:57:23,200
Speaker 2: How much do you anticipate them leaning on him early

1150
00:57:23,800 --> 00:57:26,120
Speaker 2: to kind of settle some of that stuff down and

1151
00:57:26,200 --> 00:57:27,440
Speaker 2: hope he's productive.

1152
00:57:29,880 --> 00:57:31,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, I do think they might lean on him a

1153
00:57:31,920 --> 00:57:34,240
Speaker 5: little bit more than normal. But I think, you know,

1154
00:57:34,400 --> 00:57:37,440
Speaker 5: last week, we saw the weather, the conditions aren't going

1155
00:57:37,480 --> 00:57:39,440
Speaker 5: to slowly and you read from throwing the ball, and

1156
00:57:39,560 --> 00:57:42,880
Speaker 5: so you know, I almost felt like that game forced

1157
00:57:42,920 --> 00:57:47,320
Speaker 5: him into a kind of play calling rhythm that maybe

1158
00:57:47,320 --> 00:57:49,480
Speaker 5: he wouldn't have normally done. But it's really beneficial to

1159
00:57:49,520 --> 00:57:51,160
Speaker 5: the Chiefs where maybe you do have you know, two

1160
00:57:51,280 --> 00:57:53,160
Speaker 5: or three more runs in the first quarter for Pacheco,

1161
00:57:53,240 --> 00:57:55,600
Speaker 5: another couple, you know, before the two minute warning in

1162
00:57:55,640 --> 00:57:58,360
Speaker 5: the second quarter, and you're feeding that offensive line a

1163
00:57:58,360 --> 00:58:01,000
Speaker 5: bit more and you're taking away few of the passes,

1164
00:58:02,200 --> 00:58:03,600
Speaker 5: and so I do think that will be a point

1165
00:58:03,600 --> 00:58:06,840
Speaker 5: of emphasis. But you know, even when Pacheco has his

1166
00:58:06,920 --> 00:58:09,600
Speaker 5: best games, it's still not eight nine yeards a game.

1167
00:58:09,640 --> 00:58:11,800
Speaker 5: It's not like you know, those Miami guys when things

1168
00:58:11,800 --> 00:58:15,400
Speaker 5: are rolling and a chans you know, averaging twelve years

1169
00:58:15,400 --> 00:58:17,560
Speaker 5: of carry and most starts averaging eight nine years of carry.

1170
00:58:17,600 --> 00:58:20,960
Speaker 5: It's still a good rushing offense, you know, statistically great

1171
00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:23,600
Speaker 5: rushing offense when it's at its best. But compared to

1172
00:58:23,640 --> 00:58:25,280
Speaker 5: what a pass game can look like at its best

1173
00:58:25,280 --> 00:58:27,000
Speaker 5: and what and Andy Reid is used to, you know,

1174
00:58:27,040 --> 00:58:28,959
Speaker 5: the pass game is still going to offer a little

1175
00:58:28,960 --> 00:58:31,840
Speaker 5: bit more explosiveness and a little bit more durability. But

1176
00:58:32,720 --> 00:58:35,320
Speaker 5: I think the Chiefs offensive line is going to be

1177
00:58:35,320 --> 00:58:39,040
Speaker 5: the key indicator towards success for really the whole game.

1178
00:58:39,480 --> 00:58:41,760
Speaker 5: You know, I think Buffalo's defensive front is you know,

1179
00:58:41,800 --> 00:58:44,600
Speaker 5: the best unit, especially health wise for them right now

1180
00:58:44,640 --> 00:58:46,720
Speaker 5: on the defensive side of the ball. And that was

1181
00:58:47,080 --> 00:58:48,920
Speaker 5: to me as a Chiefs fan. The most encouraging thing

1182
00:58:48,920 --> 00:58:51,080
Speaker 5: from last week is the way the offensive line responded

1183
00:58:51,120 --> 00:58:53,400
Speaker 5: and playoff football and in the elements and you know

1184
00:58:53,440 --> 00:58:55,280
Speaker 5: how physical they were at the point of attack, and

1185
00:58:55,320 --> 00:58:59,480
Speaker 5: so they can you carry that physicality, carry that mentality

1186
00:58:59,480 --> 00:59:02,520
Speaker 5: and toughness to this week. I do think that that's

1187
00:59:02,520 --> 00:59:05,480
Speaker 5: the best chance forward. And when the when the online

1188
00:59:05,560 --> 00:59:08,640
Speaker 5: is protecting as well, the past game usually looks pretty good.

1189
00:59:08,720 --> 00:59:11,320
Speaker 5: There aren't too many times where the offensive line is

1190
00:59:11,320 --> 00:59:14,160
Speaker 5: playing a really great game and the pass game is disjointed.

1191
00:59:14,560 --> 00:59:16,360
Speaker 5: Is that they're a given pant that extra half second,

1192
00:59:16,360 --> 00:59:19,600
Speaker 5: that extra you know, full second. Even guys who aren't

1193
00:59:19,600 --> 00:59:21,720
Speaker 5: the best at getting open will eventually get open. It's

1194
00:59:21,720 --> 00:59:23,600
Speaker 5: just too hard to be a defensive back in this league.

1195
00:59:23,720 --> 00:59:25,760
Speaker 4: What do you think is what's the rhetoric coming out

1196
00:59:25,800 --> 00:59:27,840
Speaker 4: of the Chiefs building? You know, this week as a

1197
00:59:27,840 --> 00:59:31,640
Speaker 4: as a you know, a convincing win over Miami, they've

1198
00:59:31,640 --> 00:59:33,919
Speaker 4: got to be feeling really good about the direction they're

1199
00:59:33,960 --> 00:59:37,600
Speaker 4: headed and about how they're finishing this season and coming

1200
00:59:37,600 --> 00:59:40,440
Speaker 4: into Buffalo. Certainly it's it's a new animal, different animal

1201
00:59:40,480 --> 00:59:42,320
Speaker 4: coming in on the road, like we've been talking about.

1202
00:59:42,440 --> 00:59:45,120
Speaker 4: But what's the message out of you know, the Chiefs

1203
00:59:45,120 --> 00:59:48,000
Speaker 4: building about what their thought process is about this game?

1204
00:59:50,400 --> 00:59:52,520
Speaker 5: I think a continuation of what we saw last week.

1205
00:59:52,560 --> 00:59:55,720
Speaker 5: I mean defensively, especially that clip of sneed Jami Tirig

1206
00:59:55,800 --> 00:59:57,640
Speaker 5: at the line is making its rounds and you know

1207
00:59:57,640 --> 00:59:59,520
Speaker 5: there's a big hit by McDuffie on a little swing

1208
00:59:59,560 --> 01:00:02,120
Speaker 5: past the Timerek as well, But bringing that kind of

1209
01:00:02,280 --> 01:00:05,640
Speaker 5: physicality that kind of you know, fit the point of attack.

1210
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:09,040
Speaker 5: You know, you go on against an awesome quarterback, probably

1211
01:00:09,040 --> 01:00:12,000
Speaker 5: the most physically imposing quarterback we've had in the NFL

1212
01:00:12,080 --> 01:00:14,840
Speaker 5: in a really long time and definitely right now, and

1213
01:00:14,960 --> 01:00:16,920
Speaker 5: so you're gonna have to bring the toughness to him

1214
01:00:16,920 --> 01:00:18,960
Speaker 5: because you know, he likes to dish it out. He's

1215
01:00:18,960 --> 01:00:20,600
Speaker 5: not going to go down easy, he's not going to slide,

1216
01:00:20,600 --> 01:00:22,400
Speaker 5: he's not going to run out of bounds, especially in

1217
01:00:22,400 --> 01:00:24,600
Speaker 5: the playoffs in a game of this magnitude. And so,

1218
01:00:24,960 --> 01:00:28,000
Speaker 5: you know, matching physicality from the Chiefs perspective on defense

1219
01:00:28,240 --> 01:00:30,120
Speaker 5: of what they saw last week and also what Josh

1220
01:00:30,160 --> 01:00:32,320
Speaker 5: Allen is going to bring to the table, I think

1221
01:00:32,400 --> 01:00:34,680
Speaker 5: is a huge point of emphasis. And you know, not

1222
01:00:34,840 --> 01:00:37,720
Speaker 5: feeling comfortable that, Okay, we played really well against this

1223
01:00:37,760 --> 01:00:41,080
Speaker 5: explosive Miami team. You know we need to now continue

1224
01:00:41,080 --> 01:00:43,400
Speaker 5: that progression. And you know, that's one of the hallmarks

1225
01:00:43,440 --> 01:00:47,160
Speaker 5: of a Steve Spagnolo defense is historically, you know, we

1226
01:00:47,200 --> 01:00:48,760
Speaker 5: were pretty bad at the beginning of the year, to

1227
01:00:48,760 --> 01:00:50,520
Speaker 5: be fair, and then kind of round it into form,

1228
01:00:50,520 --> 01:00:52,480
Speaker 5: and then the playoffs are able to turn it on

1229
01:00:52,760 --> 01:00:54,640
Speaker 5: just a little bit, and you know, you turn into

1230
01:00:54,840 --> 01:00:57,120
Speaker 5: a top twelve defense, a top you know ten defense.

1231
01:00:57,880 --> 01:00:59,800
Speaker 5: Well this year it's a top five defense, and now

1232
01:00:59,800 --> 01:01:01,480
Speaker 5: they're ratching it up to a top two to a

1233
01:01:01,520 --> 01:01:04,480
Speaker 5: top one defense in the playoffs, and so continuing that

1234
01:01:04,520 --> 01:01:08,400
Speaker 5: push defensively that kind of allows the offense to have

1235
01:01:08,640 --> 01:01:12,280
Speaker 5: the turnover or you know, the dawn holding call that

1236
01:01:12,360 --> 01:01:14,640
Speaker 5: takes them out of a drive, or a Kelsey drop

1237
01:01:14,800 --> 01:01:17,720
Speaker 5: or you know Cadarius Toni drop. These are the things

1238
01:01:17,720 --> 01:01:20,360
Speaker 5: that the Chiefs used to be able offensively to overcome

1239
01:01:20,400 --> 01:01:22,720
Speaker 5: in the course of a drive. But this year, you know,

1240
01:01:22,960 --> 01:01:24,680
Speaker 5: it hasn't been quite as clean, and so one of

1241
01:01:24,680 --> 01:01:27,320
Speaker 5: those errors typically stalls a drive. Well that's okay now

1242
01:01:27,360 --> 01:01:29,040
Speaker 5: because the other team isn't scoring as much as they

1243
01:01:29,120 --> 01:01:29,840
Speaker 5: used to either.

1244
01:01:30,280 --> 01:01:32,960
Speaker 2: Right, and I and Steve and I even said this

1245
01:01:33,080 --> 01:01:36,160
Speaker 2: prior to the regular season meeting with the Chiefs. The

1246
01:01:36,640 --> 01:01:40,240
Speaker 2: defense is the strength of their team now. Clearly, not

1247
01:01:40,320 --> 01:01:42,800
Speaker 2: that their offense is bad, but I think the defense

1248
01:01:42,840 --> 01:01:46,080
Speaker 2: and their week to week performance has surpassed what we've

1249
01:01:46,120 --> 01:01:49,760
Speaker 2: seen from the Chiefs offense this season. All that being said,

1250
01:01:50,280 --> 01:01:53,480
Speaker 2: is it a little perplexing to you that the Chiefs

1251
01:01:53,480 --> 01:01:55,880
Speaker 2: are near the bottom of the league in takeaways? I mean,

1252
01:01:55,880 --> 01:01:58,720
Speaker 2: they're so good at keeping points off the board. They

1253
01:01:58,760 --> 01:02:02,040
Speaker 2: are a top ten red zone defense, They're really good

1254
01:02:02,080 --> 01:02:05,080
Speaker 2: against the past, they're top five there. I think they

1255
01:02:05,120 --> 01:02:06,880
Speaker 2: get off the field on third down at a top

1256
01:02:06,920 --> 01:02:10,040
Speaker 2: ten rate as well. What's up with the lack of

1257
01:02:10,120 --> 01:02:12,600
Speaker 2: takeaways for them because it would seem to be a

1258
01:02:12,680 --> 01:02:15,000
Speaker 2: natural thing to fold in with everything else they do.

1259
01:02:15,080 --> 01:02:20,040
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, it is an interesting stat I think just defensively,

1260
01:02:20,120 --> 01:02:22,320
Speaker 5: and when you look at the defensive backs, they're not

1261
01:02:22,360 --> 01:02:25,960
Speaker 5: necessarily risk takers. You know, going back Chiefs football five

1262
01:02:26,040 --> 01:02:28,120
Speaker 5: six years ago, Marcus Peters, you know, he was leading

1263
01:02:28,120 --> 01:02:31,640
Speaker 5: the league and interceptions. He would gamble, he would take risks,

1264
01:02:31,640 --> 01:02:33,800
Speaker 5: and you know sometime until get burnt on double moves.

1265
01:02:34,080 --> 01:02:35,960
Speaker 5: You look at you know these Cowboys guys that are

1266
01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:38,840
Speaker 5: getting all these interceptions and these pick sixes. Well, one

1267
01:02:38,840 --> 01:02:40,800
Speaker 5: week they have two interceptions in a pick six and

1268
01:02:40,840 --> 01:02:42,800
Speaker 5: the next week they're giving up two hundred yards because

1269
01:02:42,800 --> 01:02:45,960
Speaker 5: they're gambling for turnovers. And I think the Chiefs defense

1270
01:02:46,040 --> 01:02:50,360
Speaker 5: just plays incredibly fundamentally sound defense. And that might be

1271
01:02:50,560 --> 01:02:51,960
Speaker 5: all right, I'm just going to cover my guy so

1272
01:02:52,000 --> 01:02:54,240
Speaker 5: the quarterback can't throw it, or I'm going to have

1273
01:02:54,320 --> 01:02:56,120
Speaker 5: such tight coverage that the best I can do is

1274
01:02:56,120 --> 01:02:58,920
Speaker 5: get a hand up. You know, it's not necessarily playing

1275
01:02:59,000 --> 01:03:03,280
Speaker 5: for turnovers. And you know every team the emphasis is turnovers.

1276
01:03:03,280 --> 01:03:05,480
Speaker 5: That's they say. The first stat the head coach shows

1277
01:03:05,520 --> 01:03:08,400
Speaker 5: you is what's the biggest indicator of winning success in

1278
01:03:08,400 --> 01:03:10,840
Speaker 5: the NFL winning the turnover battle. So of course they

1279
01:03:10,840 --> 01:03:13,600
Speaker 5: want the turnovers, but they're playing fundamental defense and they're

1280
01:03:13,640 --> 01:03:17,280
Speaker 5: playing at you know, extremely high level. You could almost

1281
01:03:17,520 --> 01:03:21,440
Speaker 5: argue that they should probably have more turnovers given how

1282
01:03:21,480 --> 01:03:24,440
Speaker 5: good of a defense they are. And so if you know,

1283
01:03:24,520 --> 01:03:27,280
Speaker 5: the luck almost reverses and they get a couple more

1284
01:03:27,320 --> 01:03:29,600
Speaker 5: turnovers each of these next few games and kind of

1285
01:03:29,600 --> 01:03:31,640
Speaker 5: balances out to where you would think a defense that

1286
01:03:31,720 --> 01:03:35,280
Speaker 5: good would be turnover wise, then you have even more

1287
01:03:35,400 --> 01:03:37,720
Speaker 5: reason to be optimistic about the Chiefs because of the defense.

1288
01:03:37,760 --> 01:03:39,800
Speaker 5: Is this is good without getting turnovers? You know, if

1289
01:03:39,840 --> 01:03:41,480
Speaker 5: they get the two turnovers a game that you would

1290
01:03:41,480 --> 01:03:44,360
Speaker 5: expect them to, now you're looking at like a historically

1291
01:03:44,360 --> 01:03:45,120
Speaker 5: dominant defense.

1292
01:03:45,880 --> 01:03:48,000
Speaker 4: Has there been anybody on the defensive side of the

1293
01:03:48,000 --> 01:03:50,080
Speaker 4: ball that has been a pleasant surprise this year?

1294
01:03:52,880 --> 01:03:55,040
Speaker 5: I think one for the Chiefs just because he's a

1295
01:03:55,080 --> 01:03:58,160
Speaker 5: new signing against Charles lemene who and the versatility he

1296
01:03:58,200 --> 01:04:01,320
Speaker 5: brings the defensive line. You know, Spags has a bunch

1297
01:04:01,320 --> 01:04:04,080
Speaker 5: of guys who can play in different spots defensive line wise.

1298
01:04:04,160 --> 01:04:06,240
Speaker 5: You know, we saw the Chris Joins the defensive end

1299
01:04:06,280 --> 01:04:09,120
Speaker 5: experiment a few years ago and as every down player

1300
01:04:09,160 --> 01:04:11,880
Speaker 5: out there, it didn't go so well, but we see

1301
01:04:11,920 --> 01:04:14,440
Speaker 5: him rushing at defensive end and for him to be

1302
01:04:14,480 --> 01:04:17,640
Speaker 5: able to have the success he does that the size

1303
01:04:17,680 --> 01:04:19,560
Speaker 5: he does and so basically, you know, Chris can line

1304
01:04:19,600 --> 01:04:21,200
Speaker 5: up in any of the four spots, Charles can line

1305
01:04:21,240 --> 01:04:23,400
Speaker 5: up in any of the four spots. Carlo Loftus can

1306
01:04:23,440 --> 01:04:26,560
Speaker 5: basically do the same. Mike Dana, who's you know, the smallest,

1307
01:04:26,720 --> 01:04:29,000
Speaker 5: shortest for sure out of the defensive lineman, is almost

1308
01:04:29,040 --> 01:04:31,760
Speaker 5: a better rusher at three tech on passing downs, and

1309
01:04:31,840 --> 01:04:35,800
Speaker 5: so the versatility those guys bring together is just tremendous.

1310
01:04:35,840 --> 01:04:38,120
Speaker 5: And you know, you look at one of the clips

1311
01:04:38,120 --> 01:04:40,160
Speaker 5: make in the rounds this past week from you know

1312
01:04:40,200 --> 01:04:43,120
Speaker 5: the Spags defense, was that too high look to where

1313
01:04:43,120 --> 01:04:45,240
Speaker 5: they rotated to single high and they rotated back to

1314
01:04:45,240 --> 01:04:47,560
Speaker 5: too high and oh my god, they're you know, doing

1315
01:04:47,600 --> 01:04:49,720
Speaker 5: all this crazy stuff and Tua doesn't know what's going on.

1316
01:04:50,080 --> 01:04:51,680
Speaker 5: Well two has the guy wide open in the middle

1317
01:04:51,680 --> 01:04:54,040
Speaker 5: of the field, but Charles Amena who's beating the left guard,

1318
01:04:54,080 --> 01:04:56,280
Speaker 5: and Tua can't step into it, and he sails the throw.

1319
01:04:56,680 --> 01:04:59,480
Speaker 5: And so that interior pass rush, that that ability to

1320
01:04:59,560 --> 01:05:03,320
Speaker 5: get to the quarterback has been really key for this

1321
01:05:03,840 --> 01:05:07,920
Speaker 5: Chiefs team, and to me that's the biggest thing this game.

1322
01:05:08,240 --> 01:05:10,560
Speaker 5: Do they compromise that with you know, a three men

1323
01:05:10,720 --> 01:05:13,480
Speaker 5: Russian maybe having to drop a guy to spy Josh.

1324
01:05:13,640 --> 01:05:15,360
Speaker 5: Do they get away from being able to play as

1325
01:05:15,360 --> 01:05:17,800
Speaker 5: many two high looks and having to go into you know,

1326
01:05:17,840 --> 01:05:19,640
Speaker 5: cover one looks because they want to still rush there

1327
01:05:19,640 --> 01:05:21,360
Speaker 5: for but then have a guy, you know, maybe a

1328
01:05:21,400 --> 01:05:23,680
Speaker 5: Willie Gay type at the linebacker level, who's who's got

1329
01:05:23,680 --> 01:05:25,960
Speaker 5: some juice to him, who can spy Josh a little bit.

1330
01:05:26,000 --> 01:05:28,800
Speaker 5: So how do they attack those third down packages knowing

1331
01:05:29,040 --> 01:05:30,840
Speaker 5: the kind of rushing threat that the Josh has.

1332
01:05:31,560 --> 01:05:34,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's certainly going to be fascinating X and O

1333
01:05:34,920 --> 01:05:38,920
Speaker 2: chess match. You know, it's it's enough alone that you

1334
01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:43,520
Speaker 2: got Andy Reid going against his protege in McDermott head

1335
01:05:43,560 --> 01:05:45,880
Speaker 2: to head in terms of play calling, offense, defense, But

1336
01:05:45,960 --> 01:05:48,680
Speaker 2: then you know spags against Joe Brady is going to

1337
01:05:48,720 --> 01:05:51,840
Speaker 2: be just as appealing. Can't wait for this one. I

1338
01:05:51,840 --> 01:05:53,640
Speaker 2: know you can't either, Mitchell, Thanks for the time. I

1339
01:05:53,720 --> 01:05:57,720
Speaker 2: really appreciate it. Great breakdown too on what the offensive

1340
01:05:57,720 --> 01:05:59,560
Speaker 2: tackles coming in here with the Chiefs are facing as

1341
01:05:59,560 --> 01:06:00,760
Speaker 2: wellpreciate the time.

1342
01:06:02,400 --> 01:06:04,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, great to be here, looking forward to this game.

1343
01:06:04,160 --> 01:06:04,920
Speaker 5: It's gonna be a good one.

1344
01:06:05,000 --> 01:06:05,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, thanks Mitchell.

1345
01:06:05,840 --> 01:06:08,880
Speaker 2: It's Mitchell Schwartz, former Chiefs offensive lineman joining us. I

1346
01:06:08,920 --> 01:06:11,280
Speaker 2: figure that's where we it made sense to start there.

1347
01:06:11,640 --> 01:06:14,760
Speaker 2: I mean, that's the real challenge for the Chiefs offense.

1348
01:06:14,800 --> 01:06:18,000
Speaker 2: Their two offensive tackles have not been great this year.

1349
01:06:18,080 --> 01:06:20,440
Speaker 2: Their strength of their offensive line is guard to guard,

1350
01:06:21,080 --> 01:06:23,760
Speaker 2: and those two guys on the edges have had their problems.

1351
01:06:23,760 --> 01:06:26,360
Speaker 2: I mean, Jowan Taylor's been one of the most penalized

1352
01:06:26,400 --> 01:06:29,840
Speaker 2: offensive tackles in the entire league this year, not only

1353
01:06:29,840 --> 01:06:34,200
Speaker 2: because he routinely leaves early prior to the snap, but

1354
01:06:34,600 --> 01:06:38,480
Speaker 2: he's had holding calls, all kinds of stuff, false starts.

1355
01:06:39,160 --> 01:06:43,520
Speaker 2: So yeah, they're walking into it this week and it's

1356
01:06:43,560 --> 01:06:46,680
Speaker 2: going to be very interesting to see how they handle it,

1357
01:06:46,880 --> 01:06:51,240
Speaker 2: especially when they're in obvious passing situations, you know, third

1358
01:06:51,280 --> 01:06:54,840
Speaker 2: and eight, you know, second and twelve, that kind of stuff.

1359
01:06:54,880 --> 01:06:57,360
Speaker 2: How are they going to handle that? And that was

1360
01:06:57,400 --> 01:06:59,600
Speaker 2: a fantastic breakdown, fantastic.

1361
01:06:59,680 --> 01:07:02,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's a lot going on, and you know, he'll

1362
01:07:02,920 --> 01:07:05,000
Speaker 4: give you some insight as to how complicated it is

1363
01:07:05,040 --> 01:07:08,120
Speaker 4: to play that spot he's talking about. Listen, you've got

1364
01:07:08,160 --> 01:07:11,160
Speaker 4: as a tackle, you're thinking about watching the safeties rotate

1365
01:07:11,280 --> 01:07:13,800
Speaker 4: because if the safety rotates to your side, he's got

1366
01:07:13,840 --> 01:07:16,800
Speaker 4: to be covering somebody so somebody else can rush. That

1367
01:07:16,880 --> 01:07:19,240
Speaker 4: kind of stuff's going on, and if you can't watch that,

1368
01:07:19,360 --> 01:07:21,640
Speaker 4: you're late to doing every you know, to do everything

1369
01:07:21,680 --> 01:07:23,440
Speaker 4: you're supposed to be doing, or maybe even doing the

1370
01:07:23,480 --> 01:07:23,960
Speaker 4: wrong thing.

1371
01:07:24,920 --> 01:07:26,720
Speaker 3: Huge problem when you go on the road.

1372
01:07:26,760 --> 01:07:29,760
Speaker 4: And yeah, Mitchell Schwartz broke it down beautifully, we have

1373
01:07:29,800 --> 01:07:30,480
Speaker 4: to repost.

1374
01:07:30,600 --> 01:07:34,960
Speaker 2: That's that was really good. Wow, Like that is PhD

1375
01:07:35,160 --> 01:07:38,600
Speaker 2: level stuff. I mean he just mentioned probably two or

1376
01:07:38,600 --> 01:07:41,840
Speaker 2: three things that I wasn't even aware of that at

1377
01:07:41,840 --> 01:07:44,360
Speaker 2: tackle I was thinking about in that instance, and the

1378
01:07:44,440 --> 01:07:48,760
Speaker 2: fact that you know, you know, defensive lineman when they

1379
01:07:48,760 --> 01:07:53,360
Speaker 2: study film, they're always looking for little tells from an

1380
01:07:53,400 --> 01:07:56,440
Speaker 2: offensive lineman. Some of the basic ones are is the

1381
01:07:56,480 --> 01:07:59,280
Speaker 2: guy heavy on his hands prior to his snap and

1382
01:07:59,400 --> 01:08:01,000
Speaker 2: is that a tell that he's going to fire off

1383
01:08:01,000 --> 01:08:02,680
Speaker 2: the ball and it's a run play, or is he

1384
01:08:02,800 --> 01:08:04,800
Speaker 2: light on his hands he's got like two fingertips on

1385
01:08:04,800 --> 01:08:06,720
Speaker 2: the ground. You know he's going into a pass set

1386
01:08:06,880 --> 01:08:09,720
Speaker 2: because he's not heavy on his hand. Those are the

1387
01:08:09,760 --> 01:08:13,080
Speaker 2: most basic ones that defensive linemen have looked for since

1388
01:08:13,120 --> 01:08:17,599
Speaker 2: the seventies. There are other ones that are more intricate

1389
01:08:17,680 --> 01:08:20,719
Speaker 2: and harder to uncover, and he brought up one of those,

1390
01:08:20,760 --> 01:08:23,800
Speaker 2: which is some linemen will not turn their head to

1391
01:08:23,840 --> 01:08:27,120
Speaker 2: look at the center because they don't First of all,

1392
01:08:27,160 --> 01:08:28,960
Speaker 2: they don't want to ruin their peripheral vision, knowing they

1393
01:08:29,000 --> 01:08:30,960
Speaker 2: got to bring their head back out here. But then

1394
01:08:31,000 --> 01:08:33,880
Speaker 2: he's saying they want to keep their head in alignment

1395
01:08:33,920 --> 01:08:37,240
Speaker 2: and just use their eyeballs to look inside because they

1396
01:08:37,640 --> 01:08:39,800
Speaker 2: feel if they turn their head they're going to compromise

1397
01:08:39,840 --> 01:08:43,639
Speaker 2: their pass pro technique. I mean, this is how fine

1398
01:08:44,439 --> 01:08:46,759
Speaker 2: these guys cut it at this level. It's amazing.

1399
01:08:47,800 --> 01:08:49,680
Speaker 4: I hate to say it. I'll say it because none

1400
01:08:49,720 --> 01:08:51,439
Speaker 4: of my offensive line buddies are here, but I want

1401
01:08:51,439 --> 01:08:53,679
Speaker 4: to pay him a compiment. Those guys as a group,

1402
01:08:54,040 --> 01:08:58,040
Speaker 4: generally as being are really highly intelligent and amazing despite

1403
01:08:58,080 --> 01:09:00,640
Speaker 4: what you see on television, interview use or what some

1404
01:09:00,640 --> 01:09:04,559
Speaker 4: of these guys. Dion Doc is a great example. They're

1405
01:09:04,600 --> 01:09:08,040
Speaker 4: highly intelligent and they communicate extremely well with each other

1406
01:09:08,080 --> 01:09:11,360
Speaker 4: because they spend so much time with each other. They

1407
01:09:12,680 --> 01:09:15,479
Speaker 4: they can cut their communications to the just to the

1408
01:09:15,520 --> 01:09:18,599
Speaker 4: bare bones where a little bit says an awful lot.

1409
01:09:19,200 --> 01:09:23,200
Speaker 4: And you know, the intelligence mixed with the physical abilities,

1410
01:09:23,240 --> 01:09:27,400
Speaker 4: mixed with the communication skills, it's it's an entity. The

1411
01:09:27,400 --> 01:09:30,120
Speaker 4: offensive line that you know, it doesn't do it just

1412
01:09:30,160 --> 01:09:33,960
Speaker 4: to say, well, offensive line's got to play well, dude,

1413
01:09:34,120 --> 01:09:37,439
Speaker 4: it is. There's a million layers to it down inside.

1414
01:09:37,439 --> 01:09:39,840
Speaker 4: And those guys never get the credit for being as

1415
01:09:39,840 --> 01:09:43,800
Speaker 4: intelligent as they are, as skilled as they are, and

1416
01:09:44,360 --> 01:09:47,320
Speaker 4: let it let alone the being genetically set aside as

1417
01:09:47,360 --> 01:09:50,880
Speaker 4: being a behemoth of a human being as well. So

1418
01:09:52,560 --> 01:09:55,280
Speaker 4: to hear Mitchell Schwartz go into depth about what it

1419
01:09:55,320 --> 01:09:58,679
Speaker 4: takes and what's going on before the snap even comes,

1420
01:10:00,520 --> 01:10:01,960
Speaker 4: I mean, it's unbelievable.

1421
01:10:02,040 --> 01:10:04,360
Speaker 2: Like I said, that's why I said it was PhD level.

1422
01:10:04,360 --> 01:10:06,320
Speaker 3: I know I said it I was joking about. I'm

1423
01:10:06,320 --> 01:10:09,200
Speaker 3: not joking. I didn't know what I was asking. I mean,

1424
01:10:09,479 --> 01:10:13,280
Speaker 3: how that's how high levels. That's amazing. Good stuff man there. Yeah,

1425
01:10:13,320 --> 01:10:14,760
Speaker 3: really thanks to Mitchell for coming on.

1426
01:10:14,880 --> 01:10:19,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, really good insight from him, for sure. I'm also

1427
01:10:21,760 --> 01:10:26,080
Speaker 2: I'm also trying to figure out where the edge, you know,

1428
01:10:26,200 --> 01:10:28,960
Speaker 2: is going to be we've talked about, you know how

1429
01:10:29,000 --> 01:10:31,320
Speaker 2: Buffalo's defensive line is really going to have to dominate

1430
01:10:31,360 --> 01:10:34,479
Speaker 2: to help make up for the guys behind them who

1431
01:10:34,520 --> 01:10:38,320
Speaker 2: figured to be reserves here and there, because I don't

1432
01:10:38,320 --> 01:10:40,880
Speaker 2: think they're getting everybody back this week. Here's your and

1433
01:10:41,080 --> 01:10:43,160
Speaker 2: and we should get to this before we go to break,

1434
01:10:43,200 --> 01:10:45,040
Speaker 2: and then we'll get to some phone calls as well,

1435
01:10:47,560 --> 01:10:50,919
Speaker 2: but we've got to get to Bill's practice updates. Practice

1436
01:10:50,960 --> 01:10:54,320
Speaker 2: was a little bit later today, and Bill's practice updates,

1437
01:10:54,400 --> 01:10:57,479
Speaker 2: as always, are brought to you by Lee Coop your

01:11:02,400 --> 01:11:07,720
Speaker 2: rundown not practicing today, Stefan Diggs for veteran rest and

1444
01:11:26,600 --> 01:11:31,280
Speaker 2: all practicing in some capacity. Johnson is still wearing a

1445
01:11:31,400 --> 01:11:36,560
Speaker 2: red non contact jersey and is presumably still in concussion protocol,

1446
01:11:36,840 --> 01:11:39,240
Speaker 2: so that is kind of the Rundown for practices. It

1447
01:11:39,360 --> 01:11:42,719

Speaker 2: for us, Carol.

1454
01:11:59,200 --> 01:12:02,799
Speaker 14: You know, Brownie and Steve Buffalo fans are the greatest

1455
01:12:02,840 --> 01:12:05,000
Speaker 14: and most creative people in the world, and we don't

1456
01:12:05,040 --> 01:12:09,440
Speaker 14: let anybody keep anything keep us down. Here's one for you, Brownie.

1457
01:12:09,600 --> 01:12:13,080
Speaker 14: Here's another use for a Buffalo table. I'm a nurse.

1458
01:12:13,120 --> 01:12:14,920
Speaker 14: I had to get up early in the morning, and

1459
01:12:14,960 --> 01:12:17,080
Speaker 14: I lived on the corner house and we get about

1460
01:12:17,080 --> 01:12:21,320
Speaker 14: three feet of snow ice chunks in my driveway, real deep.

1461
01:12:21,920 --> 01:12:24,400
Speaker 14: So I said, enough of this. I'm not going to

1462
01:12:24,479 --> 01:12:26,640
Speaker 14: be doing this every day. So I pulled out a

1463
01:12:26,760 --> 01:12:30,559
Speaker 14: huge wooden folding table that I had a party table,

1464
01:12:31,000 --> 01:12:33,000
Speaker 14: and I went and I put it in my driveway.

1465
01:12:33,280 --> 01:12:35,880
Speaker 14: The plows come by, I'd only get about a foot

1466
01:12:35,880 --> 01:12:38,360
Speaker 14: of ice in my driveway, which was enough to let

1467
01:12:38,360 --> 01:12:41,439
Speaker 14: me drive through. So there's another use for a Buffalo

1468
01:12:41,479 --> 01:12:45,559
Speaker 14: Bill table anyway, go Bill, I love ya. We got

1469
01:12:45,600 --> 01:12:50,400
Speaker 14: this and going to the game, and that's a go Bill.

1470
01:12:50,640 --> 01:12:54,400
Speaker 2: Thanks by thanks Cheryl, Thanks enjoying the game. Okay, I

1471
01:12:54,400 --> 01:12:56,759
Speaker 2: think she's coming up with a solution for my driveway

1472
01:12:56,760 --> 01:12:59,719
Speaker 2: apron the aprons in the dilemma. Yeah, puts a table

1473
01:12:59,720 --> 01:13:00,280
Speaker 2: out there there.

1474
01:13:00,680 --> 01:13:01,080
Speaker 3: Wow.

1475
01:13:01,720 --> 01:13:06,040
Speaker 4: I was talking to I was listening to Mitchell Schwartz

1476
01:13:06,080 --> 01:13:07,840
Speaker 4: about his you know what the I asked him what

1477
01:13:07,880 --> 01:13:09,360
Speaker 4: the message coming out was, and they said, you know,

1478
01:13:09,439 --> 01:13:13,080
Speaker 4: the physicality they brought to the Miami Dolphins was a

1479
01:13:13,080 --> 01:13:15,400
Speaker 4: difference maker. And he's right, Uh, the stuff they were

1480
01:13:15,400 --> 01:13:17,680
Speaker 4: doing with Tyreek banging him at the line of scrimmage

1481
01:13:17,680 --> 01:13:20,800
Speaker 4: and hard tackles on screen passes, all of that. And

1482
01:13:20,840 --> 01:13:24,479
Speaker 4: he also said that their their offensive line really played

1483
01:13:24,520 --> 01:13:27,320
Speaker 4: physical and well against the Miami front. I was thinking,

1484
01:13:27,360 --> 01:13:29,400
Speaker 4: I say, yeah, they did, and I think and then

1485
01:13:29,560 --> 01:13:34,200
Speaker 4: remember Miami didn't have they didn't have any of their

1486
01:13:34,240 --> 01:13:39,680
Speaker 4: defensive ends playing well and six right, So no, Jalen Phillips,

1487
01:13:39,760 --> 01:13:44,479
Speaker 4: if they gave If that Miami defensive front gave Kansas

1488
01:13:44,479 --> 01:13:48,160
Speaker 4: City confidence, they should.

1489
01:13:47,800 --> 01:13:50,680
Speaker 3: Be in for a rude awakening here in Buffalo.

1490
01:13:50,439 --> 01:13:52,120
Speaker 2: Not only because they're on the road. But because the

1491
01:13:52,160 --> 01:13:54,599
Speaker 2: caliber of players that are going to be hunting their

1492
01:13:54,640 --> 01:13:57,479
Speaker 2: quarterback or are better noticeably, and.

1493
01:13:59,080 --> 01:14:02,080
Speaker 4: We'll see if that's a difference maker, certainly, And he's

1494
01:14:02,160 --> 01:14:05,679
Speaker 4: right to the offensive tackles of the Chiefs, and particularly

1495
01:14:05,680 --> 01:14:08,200
Speaker 4: their right tackle has been struggling. They line up in

1496
01:14:08,240 --> 01:14:11,680
Speaker 4: the backfield, and you can bet the Buffalo Bills are

1497
01:14:11,680 --> 01:14:13,960
Speaker 4: going to be all over it trying to tell the

1498
01:14:14,000 --> 01:14:15,080
Speaker 4: officials that's illegal.

1499
01:14:15,200 --> 01:14:16,920
Speaker 2: Well, I don't think that's going to be an issue

1500
01:14:16,960 --> 01:14:19,400
Speaker 2: based on what Mitchell Schwartz said, because he said their

1501
01:14:19,439 --> 01:14:21,599
Speaker 2: head has to be in a place where they can

1502
01:14:21,680 --> 01:14:25,080
Speaker 2: see the silent count signal. Now, well, so I don't

1503
01:14:25,080 --> 01:14:27,400
Speaker 2: know if he can beat as far back if he

1504
01:14:27,479 --> 01:14:29,800
Speaker 2: can't seize, you know, with his head on the hip

1505
01:14:30,560 --> 01:14:32,840
Speaker 2: of the guard next to him, you know what I mean.

1506
01:14:32,920 --> 01:14:33,840
Speaker 3: Like, I get it.

1507
01:14:33,880 --> 01:14:35,400
Speaker 4: But they're going to push it as far as they can,

1508
01:14:35,439 --> 01:14:37,439
Speaker 4: and they'll they'll make adjustments and they'll tell the guard

1509
01:14:37,479 --> 01:14:39,320
Speaker 4: and the sense they'll they'll do all it. But they've

1510
01:14:39,320 --> 01:14:42,479
Speaker 4: got me. If it's me, I am all over it.

1511
01:14:42,520 --> 01:14:44,599
Speaker 4: If I'm the Bill's coaching staff talking to the league

1512
01:14:44,640 --> 01:14:47,559
Speaker 4: before the game and the officiating Crubbage pregame about getting

1513
01:14:47,560 --> 01:14:51,720
Speaker 4: the offensive lineman on the line of scrimmage. Certainly, when

1514
01:14:51,760 --> 01:14:53,479
Speaker 4: you do that, it's a double edged sword, because then

1515
01:14:53,479 --> 01:14:54,559
Speaker 4: they're going to be looking at yours.

1516
01:14:55,120 --> 01:14:59,479
Speaker 3: Right, But that's you're at home. Yeah, you're at home.

1517
01:14:59,520 --> 01:15:00,200
Speaker 3: Its's little.

1518
01:15:01,760 --> 01:15:03,719
Speaker 4: Their offensive lineman. I mean, there was a couple of times,

1519
01:15:03,720 --> 01:15:06,000
Speaker 4: even the Miami game, when I thought that the Chiefs

1520
01:15:06,160 --> 01:15:09,720
Speaker 4: were the tackles were backing out a tenth or two

1521
01:15:09,760 --> 01:15:13,720
Speaker 4: tenths of a second too early early. Yeah, Oh well,

1522
01:15:13,840 --> 01:15:16,960
Speaker 4: we'll see. Uh, it's gonna be tough. It's gonna be tough,

1523
01:15:17,000 --> 01:15:18,280
Speaker 4: and it's you know, it's gonna be up to the

1524
01:15:18,520 --> 01:15:20,639
Speaker 4: Bill's Mafia to do their part, and I'm sure they will.

1525
01:15:21,960 --> 01:15:24,400
Speaker 4: It's this is it's a it's a new animal when

1526
01:15:24,400 --> 01:15:26,240
Speaker 4: you got the Chiefs on the road in playoffs.

1527
01:15:26,760 --> 01:15:28,800
Speaker 2: Break time for us here, but we'll take more of

Speaker 2: what's up Tim?

1537
01:15:58,800 --> 01:16:02,960
Speaker 15: Well, thank you afternoon. To follow a great show. I'm

1538
01:16:03,000 --> 01:16:06,679
Speaker 15: trying to buffo Bill's history. My cousin was the guy

1539
01:16:06,760 --> 01:16:10,080
Speaker 15: that threw the rocket belt between the goal posts in

1540
01:16:10,080 --> 01:16:12,720
Speaker 15: the early sixties, and I believe it was against the

1541
01:16:12,800 --> 01:16:16,440
Speaker 15: Kansas City game. If you've ever seen that video.

1542
01:16:17,000 --> 01:16:22,320
Speaker 2: I have not. Can you give us some context? Oh?

1543
01:16:22,400 --> 01:16:24,280
Speaker 15: Well, no, he worked for Bell and he was one

1544
01:16:24,320 --> 01:16:28,519
Speaker 15: of the initial pilots of a test pilots of the

1545
01:16:28,560 --> 01:16:30,280
Speaker 15: rocket belt, and he was at one of the Bills

1546
01:16:30,280 --> 01:16:32,160
Speaker 15: games where he threw between the goal posts.

1547
01:16:32,240 --> 01:16:34,040
Speaker 2: Gotcha the rocket pack? I remember those?

1548
01:16:34,120 --> 01:16:35,160
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Yes.

1549
01:16:37,400 --> 01:16:39,240
Speaker 15: We can't get him out because he's in his eighties

1550
01:16:39,280 --> 01:16:41,439
Speaker 15: and they just they don't do that program anymore. But

1551
01:16:41,479 --> 01:16:46,120
Speaker 15: it was pretty cool, all right, fair enough, Okay, thank you, Yeah, no.

1552
01:16:46,000 --> 01:16:48,799
Speaker 2: Problem, Jim, Thanks for the call. Let's go to Sue

1553
01:16:48,920 --> 01:16:51,879
Speaker 2: on a sale next. What do you got for a Sue?

1554
01:16:52,160 --> 01:16:52,760
Speaker 12: Hi?

1555
01:16:53,640 --> 01:16:57,160
Speaker 16: I need some advice for my grandson and his teacher

1556
01:16:57,200 --> 01:17:00,840
Speaker 16: at school. My grandson lives in North Carolina and he's

1557
01:17:00,880 --> 01:17:04,919
Speaker 16: an avid Bills fan. He's also an A plus student.

1558
01:17:05,360 --> 01:17:08,320
Speaker 16: The problem is, for the first time ever, he got

1559
01:17:08,360 --> 01:17:12,040
Speaker 16: a word marked wrong on his spelling test, and it

1560
01:17:12,120 --> 01:17:17,400
Speaker 16: was the word believe. He's spelt it b I L

1561
01:17:17,640 --> 01:17:21,280
Speaker 16: L I e ve e, and his teacher just doesn't

1562
01:17:21,400 --> 01:17:24,479
Speaker 16: understand that's how it's spelt in Western New York.

1563
01:17:25,040 --> 01:17:27,200
Speaker 2: Oh boy, you know what.

1564
01:17:29,080 --> 01:17:31,439
Speaker 3: Loyalty comes with sacrifice? What can I say?

1565
01:17:31,760 --> 01:17:33,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, I got to give a lot of credit to

1566
01:17:33,560 --> 01:17:38,559
Speaker 2: your grandchild for being willing to take a knock on

1567
01:17:38,640 --> 01:17:42,520
Speaker 2: his grade to stick by his Bills. That's pretty admirable.

1568
01:17:43,280 --> 01:17:45,640
Speaker 2: And you can tell him we said that. So he

1569
01:17:46,600 --> 01:17:49,160
Speaker 2: may not have gotten a one hundred on his spelling test,

1570
01:17:49,640 --> 01:17:53,080
Speaker 2: but he aced his test as a Bills fan, So

1571
01:17:53,200 --> 01:17:54,920
Speaker 2: be sure to pass that along to him for us,

1572
01:17:54,960 --> 01:18:00,000
Speaker 2: because that's fantastic. And let's tell the teacher to lighten up, Franks.

1573
01:18:00,280 --> 01:18:00,760
Speaker 2: How about that?

1574
01:18:03,439 --> 01:18:03,760
Speaker 12: Thank you?

1575
01:18:03,960 --> 01:18:07,240

Speaker 3: Yeah, you're up, Bob, okay Roches.

1592
01:18:45,960 --> 01:18:48,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just got to read what's on the board here.

1593
01:18:48,560 --> 01:18:49,000
Speaker 2: They may have.

1594
01:18:48,960 --> 01:18:53,320
Speaker 13: Misheard knowing and it's fun. Hey, thanks saving the call.

1595
01:18:53,400 --> 01:18:57,479
Speaker 13: A couple of quick quick comments. I'm looking forward to

1596
01:18:57,479 --> 01:19:01,920
Speaker 13: the game obviously about Josh and is run, which is

1597
01:19:01,960 --> 01:19:07,880
Speaker 13: still being criticized online, uh for faking a slide and

1598
01:19:07,920 --> 01:19:11,040
Speaker 13: to me, having watched it at least a dozen times,

1599
01:19:11,240 --> 01:19:15,040
Speaker 13: he deeped him, he deemed him and that's and that's

1600
01:19:15,040 --> 01:19:17,439
Speaker 13: something that yeah.

1601
01:19:16,920 --> 01:19:17,840
Speaker 3: I've been watching.

1602
01:19:17,960 --> 01:19:19,400
Speaker 4: I've got a lot of that on my on my

1603
01:19:19,479 --> 01:19:21,439
Speaker 4: timeline too. Bob, I just got one thing to say.

1604
01:19:21,439 --> 01:19:23,840
Speaker 4: It doesn't matter if he fakes slid or not. It's legal,

1605
01:19:24,360 --> 01:19:26,120
Speaker 4: and they can whine only want about, oh, how you're

1606
01:19:26,160 --> 01:19:28,639
Speaker 4: gonna play defense? If the guy gives himself up and well,

1607
01:19:28,640 --> 01:19:31,519
Speaker 4: you know what, crying your soup. It's legal to fake side.

1608
01:19:31,680 --> 01:19:34,439
Speaker 4: He didn't heed him, and I get all of that.

1609
01:19:34,600 --> 01:19:37,360
Speaker 4: It's yeah, it's sour grapes. The guy made a great play.

1610
01:19:37,720 --> 01:19:39,320
Speaker 4: You can say what you want about it looking like

1611
01:19:39,360 --> 01:19:42,599
Speaker 4: whatever it looked like. It's irrelevant because there's nothing against

1612
01:19:42,680 --> 01:19:45,360
Speaker 4: any Even what they're accusing him of doing is leading.

1613
01:19:45,360 --> 01:19:49,519
Speaker 8: Right, right, I know, So don't worry about it.

1614
01:19:48,479 --> 01:19:50,880
Speaker 13: Is you know, I I watched a lot of the

1615
01:19:50,960 --> 01:19:55,040
Speaker 13: zone defense and I understand why it's done a lot.

1616
01:19:55,600 --> 01:19:58,720
Speaker 13: But you know, if if I wish it makes up

1617
01:19:58,760 --> 01:20:01,480
Speaker 13: a little more man the man's especially if they start

1618
01:20:01,120 --> 01:20:06,880
Speaker 13: splitting the zone there as as I think Kansas City

1619
01:20:06,920 --> 01:20:10,400
Speaker 13: will try to do, especially with the back that they got,

1620
01:20:11,360 --> 01:20:13,280
Speaker 13: I'd like to make sure they mix it up and

1621
01:20:13,320 --> 01:20:14,920
Speaker 13: don't don't make a meal out of the zone.

1622
01:20:15,280 --> 01:20:15,479
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1623
01:20:15,520 --> 01:20:17,040
Speaker 13: I feel about that.

1624
01:20:17,160 --> 01:20:20,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I get what you're saying, Bob. I will say

1625
01:20:20,120 --> 01:20:24,760
Speaker 2: that coach McDermott has been more aggressive this season, sometimes

1626
01:20:24,800 --> 01:20:26,960
Speaker 2: out of necessity due to the lack of players he's

1627
01:20:27,000 --> 01:20:31,960
Speaker 2: had due to injury, and has played more cover zero

1628
01:20:32,000 --> 01:20:34,599
Speaker 2: than I've seen this team play in the past. Uh

1629
01:20:34,920 --> 01:20:38,240
Speaker 2: More cover one more man coverage, not to a great degree,

1630
01:20:38,640 --> 01:20:42,519
Speaker 2: but a little bit more. It's kind of funny. I

1631
01:20:42,520 --> 01:20:46,000
Speaker 2: think people are still in this mindset that the Bills

1632
01:20:46,080 --> 01:20:48,640
Speaker 2: defense is to sit back, keep everything in front of

1633
01:20:48,680 --> 01:20:51,960
Speaker 2: you defense, and I think Sean McDermott has changed that

1634
01:20:52,080 --> 01:20:54,360
Speaker 2: narrative a bit with the way he's called it, whether

1635
01:20:54,400 --> 01:20:57,519
Speaker 2: it's by necessity due to injury, or because he wants

1636
01:20:57,560 --> 01:21:00,840
Speaker 2: to philosophically be more aggressive no matter who he has

1637
01:21:00,920 --> 01:21:02,880
Speaker 2: and does not have in the lineup in a given week.

1638
01:21:03,000 --> 01:21:06,120
Speaker 2: So I would argue he's been more aggressive with his

1639
01:21:06,200 --> 01:21:09,080
Speaker 2: man coverage calls this season, more than we've seen in

1640
01:21:09,120 --> 01:21:10,880
Speaker 2: the past, and I think that might be one of

1641
01:21:10,880 --> 01:21:13,599
Speaker 2: the reasons we saw the change that we did at

1642
01:21:13,640 --> 01:21:16,599
Speaker 2: defensive coordinator. There might have been some differing philosophies there.

1643
01:21:16,680 --> 01:21:19,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I'll say this too, depending on the health

1644
01:21:19,840 --> 01:21:22,639
Speaker 4: of the guys involved in the defense this week, who's

1645
01:21:22,680 --> 01:21:25,280
Speaker 4: going to be in, who's going to be out, depending

1646
01:21:25,320 --> 01:21:27,560
Speaker 4: on what works best in any to given situation. I

1647
01:21:27,600 --> 01:21:29,679
Speaker 4: don't think Sean McDermott's going to hesitate to do man

1648
01:21:29,760 --> 01:21:31,959
Speaker 4: ar zone. I think it's going to be a completely

1649
01:21:32,160 --> 01:21:34,800
Speaker 4: situational decision. He's not going to go in there this thing, Well,

1650
01:21:34,840 --> 01:21:36,880
Speaker 4: we can't run this, we can. He can run whatever

1651
01:21:36,880 --> 01:21:38,800
Speaker 4: he wants. He's gonna feel confident he can run whatever

1652
01:21:38,840 --> 01:21:41,760
Speaker 4: he wants, and he's gonna run the defense that he

1653
01:21:41,840 --> 01:21:45,000
Speaker 4: thinks has a chance to win. I don't think he's

1654
01:21:45,040 --> 01:21:47,160
Speaker 4: afraid to call man. I don't think he's afraid to

1655
01:21:47,200 --> 01:21:51,840
Speaker 4: call zone now, Like I said, unless the personnel on

1656
01:21:51,880 --> 01:21:54,439
Speaker 4: the field gives him a better feeling about one or

1657
01:21:54,439 --> 01:21:58,360
Speaker 4: the other. At this point of the season, you're down

1658
01:21:58,400 --> 01:22:00,240
Speaker 4: to the final eight teams in the league.

1659
01:22:01,880 --> 01:22:02,599
Speaker 3: These guys will do.

1660
01:22:02,680 --> 01:22:05,759
Speaker 4: These guys are gonna feel confident calling whatever they want

1661
01:22:06,439 --> 01:22:08,880
Speaker 4: with the guys they have on the field. If they're

1662
01:22:09,000 --> 01:22:10,880
Speaker 4: if you know, if they're totally healthy, if they have

1663
01:22:10,880 --> 01:22:13,600
Speaker 4: the guys in there, they're gonna know U. So I

1664
01:22:13,640 --> 01:22:15,640
Speaker 4: think when you start saying, well, they can't run zone here,

1665
01:22:15,640 --> 01:22:17,840
Speaker 4: they can't. They're gonna run both. They're gonna run man

1666
01:22:17,880 --> 01:22:19,920
Speaker 4: and zone all through the game, and they'll sprinkle it

1667
01:22:19,960 --> 01:22:22,679
Speaker 4: in there. You may see this game go heavy man,

1668
01:22:23,320 --> 01:22:25,160
Speaker 4: or you may see it go heavy zone. But it's

1669
01:22:25,160 --> 01:22:28,719
Speaker 4: gonna be a specific game plan, a specific reason because

1670
01:22:28,720 --> 01:22:30,639
Speaker 4: of the team they're playing. I don't know what that's

1671
01:22:30,680 --> 01:22:34,080
Speaker 4: gonna be, but they do, and so that how this

1672
01:22:34,160 --> 01:22:35,960
Speaker 4: game looks is gonna be what they see on film

1673
01:22:35,960 --> 01:22:37,680
Speaker 4: and how they feel they match up. So I don't

1674
01:22:37,680 --> 01:22:39,519
Speaker 4: think they're gonna be afraid to do either one or

1675
01:22:39,520 --> 01:22:39,800
Speaker 4: the other.

1676
01:22:40,560 --> 01:22:43,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, And and just to kind of give you an idea,

1677
01:22:43,600 --> 01:22:46,920
Speaker 2: So the Bills have played man coverage twenty two percent

1678
01:22:46,960 --> 01:22:49,559
Speaker 2: of the time this season. That ranks twenty fourth in

1679
01:22:49,600 --> 01:22:52,800
Speaker 2: the NFL. Now, the Chiefs play man coverage at the

1680
01:22:52,840 --> 01:22:55,640
Speaker 2: seventh highest rate in the NFL. They do it at

1681
01:22:55,680 --> 01:22:59,479
Speaker 2: thirty five percent. The difference between the twenty fourth ranked

1682
01:22:59,479 --> 01:23:03,600
Speaker 2: team and the seventh ranked team is fourteen percent or

1683
01:23:03,640 --> 01:23:04,519
Speaker 2: thirteen percent.

1684
01:23:04,400 --> 01:23:06,320
Speaker 3: One out of every ten snaps.

1685
01:23:06,600 --> 01:23:10,120
Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean it's not a wide swath from

1686
01:23:10,160 --> 01:23:11,559
Speaker 2: the top to the bottom of the league.

1687
01:23:11,640 --> 01:23:12,680
Speaker 3: Not a big bandwidth.

1688
01:23:12,760 --> 01:23:17,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, in terms of man coverage frequency. Just something to

1689
01:23:17,560 --> 01:23:20,320
Speaker 2: think about, you know, when you're thinking about aggressiveness of

1690
01:23:20,320 --> 01:23:23,800
Speaker 2: a defense or you know the philosophy of these They

1691
01:23:24,120 --> 01:23:26,960
Speaker 2: have a lot of similarities. Some are more aggressive than others.

1692
01:23:26,960 --> 01:23:29,960
Speaker 2: We know that, but the variance is not as wide

1693
01:23:29,960 --> 01:23:33,120
Speaker 2: as you might think. Let's go to Tim in Rochester next.

1694
01:23:33,120 --> 01:23:36,519
Speaker 2: We got for us, Tim Hi, Chris Brown.

1695
01:23:36,560 --> 01:23:39,760
Speaker 6: I just think you're the encyclopedia of Buffalo Bills, and

1696
01:23:39,760 --> 01:23:43,000
Speaker 6: I appreciate that, and Steve Faster eighty nine here the legend.

1697
01:23:43,840 --> 01:23:46,120
Speaker 6: But the last six weeks of the season, the way

1698
01:23:46,160 --> 01:23:48,880
Speaker 6: the Bills have played, I just do not see them

1699
01:23:48,920 --> 01:23:49,679
Speaker 6: losing this game.

1700
01:23:49,720 --> 01:23:50,360
Speaker 8: They're at home.

1701
01:23:50,479 --> 01:23:52,240
Speaker 6: I wanted to see what you guys thought about that,

1702
01:23:52,400 --> 01:23:55,760
Speaker 6: and also what Steve said about Baltimore in the week off.

1703
01:23:55,880 --> 01:23:57,720
Speaker 6: I mean, I looked at it from the other perspective

1704
01:23:57,760 --> 01:24:01,880
Speaker 6: that having that week off can be a detriment. The

1705
01:24:01,880 --> 01:24:04,760
Speaker 6: Bills are in the zone right now, and just want

1706
01:24:04,800 --> 01:24:05,719
Speaker 6: to see what you guys.

1707
01:24:05,520 --> 01:24:06,000
Speaker 8: Think about that.

1708
01:24:07,000 --> 01:24:09,200
Speaker 4: I get what you're saying about the detriment being you know,

1709
01:24:09,400 --> 01:24:13,360
Speaker 4: being like the finger quotes rust. I've never been one

1710
01:24:13,400 --> 01:24:16,240
Speaker 4: to buy into that, particularly with teams like the Ravens,

1711
01:24:16,240 --> 01:24:20,360
Speaker 4: who are experienced postseason participants. Most they spend a lot

1712
01:24:20,400 --> 01:24:22,519
Speaker 4: of time in the postseason. They know how to how

1713
01:24:22,560 --> 01:24:24,160
Speaker 4: to be ready to play, and I think when when

1714
01:24:24,160 --> 01:24:26,320
Speaker 4: you show up in a game after being on a

1715
01:24:26,320 --> 01:24:30,040
Speaker 4: bye week, you're not gonna forget how to play. Certainly

1716
01:24:30,040 --> 01:24:32,880
Speaker 4: you're gonna feel better physically. I think the one thing

1717
01:24:33,840 --> 01:24:36,200
Speaker 4: you run the risk of is maybe a slow start,

1718
01:24:36,680 --> 01:24:40,400
Speaker 4: you know, but you're not gonna and when you start

1719
01:24:40,439 --> 01:24:42,200
Speaker 4: slow against a good team like one of the final

1720
01:24:42,240 --> 01:24:44,360
Speaker 4: eight that you're playing against, yeah, that could be a

1721
01:24:44,400 --> 01:24:47,240
Speaker 4: little too much. I doubt that will be the case

1722
01:24:47,920 --> 01:24:51,479
Speaker 4: for the Ravens because of the veteran leadership. I mean,

1723
01:24:51,520 --> 01:24:54,240
Speaker 4: they've been down this road before. Lamar's been down this

1724
01:24:54,360 --> 01:24:56,960
Speaker 4: road before. Their key players have been down this road before.

1725
01:24:57,000 --> 01:24:59,400
Speaker 4: So yeah, I think what you're saying has some merit

1726
01:24:59,520 --> 01:25:03,040
Speaker 4: in certain situations. I don't know that Baltimore falls into that,

1727
01:25:03,560 --> 01:25:07,639
Speaker 4: but yeah, I get it. I'm telling you this, though.

1728
01:25:09,360 --> 01:25:12,320
Speaker 4: You dangle a bye week in front of the final

1729
01:25:12,400 --> 01:25:15,639
Speaker 4: eight teams that are in this thing right now, all

1730
01:25:15,680 --> 01:25:18,560
Speaker 4: of them would say yes, all of them, And that

1731
01:25:19,040 --> 01:25:19,960
Speaker 4: should tell you something.

1732
01:25:21,160 --> 01:25:24,840
Speaker 2: We've got a response to a football relationship call we

1733
01:25:24,920 --> 01:25:27,880
Speaker 2: took earlier from a gentleman who had tickets to this

1734
01:25:27,920 --> 01:25:31,400
Speaker 2: weekend's game, but also as his daughter's gymnastics meet up

1735
01:25:31,400 --> 01:25:34,400
Speaker 2: in Niagara Falls got canceled, and they will know they

1736
01:25:34,439 --> 01:25:36,760
Speaker 2: will conflict with one another. So he said, look, you

1737
01:25:36,760 --> 01:25:39,599
Speaker 2: got to go to your daughter's gymnastics meet and then

1738
01:25:39,680 --> 01:25:41,280
Speaker 2: just cut out of there as quick as you can

1739
01:25:42,200 --> 01:25:46,200
Speaker 2: and maybe preemptively see what events she is participating in,

1740
01:25:46,360 --> 01:25:48,479
Speaker 2: and as soon as you know she's done for the day,

1741
01:25:48,479 --> 01:25:50,760
Speaker 2: make sure she has her ride home and then head

1742
01:25:50,800 --> 01:25:54,839
Speaker 2: to the game. So Tim on the tweets sheet asks,

1743
01:25:54,960 --> 01:25:57,880
Speaker 2: does that apply for grandkids too? If they have an

1744
01:25:57,880 --> 01:26:00,320
Speaker 2: event during a Bill's game. Now this is a little

1745
01:26:00,320 --> 01:26:04,320
Speaker 2: different because if you are a grandparent and you happen

1746
01:26:04,400 --> 01:26:08,240
Speaker 2: to be that child's primary caregiver, then yes you do

1747
01:26:08,360 --> 01:26:12,439
Speaker 2: have to attend. But if they have two capable parents,

1748
01:26:13,160 --> 01:26:19,040
Speaker 2: their priority is their son or daughter, you you can.

1749
01:26:18,880 --> 01:26:22,280
Speaker 3: Skate right right.

1750
01:26:22,439 --> 01:26:25,080
Speaker 2: As long as they have capable and willing parents, they

1751
01:26:25,120 --> 01:26:27,479
Speaker 2: gotta go. Yeah you've already been there and done that.

1752
01:26:27,680 --> 01:26:32,280
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, you can make it.

1753
01:26:32,479 --> 01:26:34,559
Speaker 2: I'm root for you, honey. I'll just be doing it

1754
01:26:34,600 --> 01:26:37,880
Speaker 2: in section one thirty eight at high Mark Stadium.

1755
01:26:38,080 --> 01:26:39,600
Speaker 3: Here's my here's my gift go to.

1756
01:26:39,720 --> 01:26:42,519
Speaker 4: If you're not if you're not the one responsible for

1757
01:26:42,560 --> 01:26:46,519
Speaker 4: getting them there, yeah you can skate. I would though, however,

1758
01:26:46,920 --> 01:26:51,920
Speaker 4: like make a gesture, yeah, like, uh, you know, buy

1759
01:26:51,960 --> 01:26:54,080
Speaker 4: them a new two to two, make them something, make

1760
01:26:54,120 --> 01:26:58,719
Speaker 4: them a sign something, yeah, or give them a little

1761
01:26:59,040 --> 01:27:01,120
Speaker 4: gift pre meet.

1762
01:27:01,080 --> 01:27:02,599
Speaker 2: Or even write them a little note in a car,

1763
01:27:02,720 --> 01:27:04,840
Speaker 2: write them a note, lead leave it, leave it in

1764
01:27:04,920 --> 01:27:05,160
Speaker 2: the car.

1765
01:27:05,280 --> 01:27:07,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, put it in their little little gymnastics duffel bag

1766
01:27:08,479 --> 01:27:10,280
Speaker 4: and tell them you're thinking about them, that kind of thing.

1767
01:27:10,400 --> 01:27:12,639
Speaker 4: Just you know, make it nice, something that they'll remember

1768
01:27:12,680 --> 01:27:15,280
Speaker 4: that and it'll be like you were there when you

1769
01:27:15,439 --> 01:27:16,400
Speaker 4: were actually at the game.

1770
01:27:17,080 --> 01:27:19,439
Speaker 2: Break time for us. Here for a few more phone

1771
01:27:19,479 --> 01:27:22,200
Speaker 2: calls when we're done. Somebody's got an angle to play on.

1772
01:27:22,320 --> 01:27:23,280
Speaker 3: That is the best.

1773
01:27:24,479 --> 01:27:27,120
Speaker 2: Some good calls on the Football Relationship Hotline today. Thank

1774
01:27:27,120 --> 01:27:28,960
Speaker 2: you for participating. We'll try to wrap up with a

1775
01:27:29,000 --> 01:27:43,120

Speaker 2: Yeah?

1785
01:28:07,840 --> 01:28:12,200
Speaker 17: Oh hey guys, Well love the show, totally addicted to it.

1786
01:28:12,720 --> 01:28:16,519
Speaker 17: Appreciate what you guys do every day, Steve. Going back

1787
01:28:16,560 --> 01:28:18,599
Speaker 17: a few weeks ago when they talked about you see

1788
01:28:18,640 --> 01:28:21,720
Speaker 17: in your jersey in the stands. I was a cheerleader

1789
01:28:21,720 --> 01:28:24,439
Speaker 17: in the nineties. You were kind enough to sign my

1790
01:28:24,640 --> 01:28:29,200
Speaker 17: task for jersey at one of Jim Kelly's parties at

1791
01:28:29,240 --> 01:28:33,120
Speaker 17: his house. Appreciate that. Think you're the best. I also

1792
01:28:33,400 --> 01:28:36,880
Speaker 17: want to know what you think the differences and the

1793
01:28:36,960 --> 01:28:41,679
Speaker 17: similarities are to our playoff Bills of the nineties versus

1794
01:28:41,720 --> 01:28:48,720
Speaker 17: the guys today. And lastly, gon bar comment the one

1795
01:28:48,720 --> 01:28:53,000
Speaker 17: where her husband was eavesdropping. I my husband. I'm a

1796
01:28:53,040 --> 01:28:57,599
Speaker 17: diehard Bills fan, go crazy every week, and my son

1797
01:28:57,800 --> 01:29:01,280
Speaker 17: and my husband tend to lead the house because they

1798
01:29:01,520 --> 01:29:04,840
Speaker 17: think that I'm like the craziest Bills fan, But little

1799
01:29:04,880 --> 01:29:07,559
Speaker 17: do they know there's millions of us out there. Yeah,

1800
01:29:07,640 --> 01:29:10,040
Speaker 17: so I'll hang up and listen to what you guys

1801
01:29:10,040 --> 01:29:10,679
Speaker 17: got to say.

1802
01:29:10,720 --> 01:29:12,559
Speaker 2: Thank you, all right, thanks to Diane.

1803
01:29:13,200 --> 01:29:18,680
Speaker 4: Biggest similarities similarities I think they have great. Obviously, the

1804
01:29:18,920 --> 01:29:20,840
Speaker 4: nineties Bills team has been proven. They had great Hall

1805
01:29:20,840 --> 01:29:23,160
Speaker 4: of Fame caliber players. I think there's a chance that

1806
01:29:23,200 --> 01:29:25,519
Speaker 4: a couple of guys on this team get in that

1807
01:29:25,560 --> 01:29:29,800
Speaker 4: conversation pretty quick when they quit. So there's that great

1808
01:29:29,800 --> 01:29:33,960
Speaker 4: players make great teams and great coaches make great teams.

1809
01:29:34,000 --> 01:29:36,160
Speaker 3: As well. It takes a bunch of good stuff.

1810
01:29:36,600 --> 01:29:39,240
Speaker 2: And never be shy, Diane about screaming your head off

1811
01:29:39,240 --> 01:29:41,160
Speaker 2: for your football team. You do it the way you

1812
01:29:41,200 --> 01:29:43,880
Speaker 2: see fit and to me, that's loud and proud. That's

1813
01:29:43,880 --> 01:29:46,920
Speaker 2: how I do it, So do the same. Thanks for watching, everybody,

1814
01:29:46,920 --> 01:29:47,679
Speaker 2: We'll catch you tomorrow.

1815
01:29:47,720 --> 01:29:48,000
Speaker 3: And one
