00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:35,600
Speaker 1: These One Bills Live presented by called Light of Health.

2
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 1: Who Doggie. Welcome to One Bills Live First Brown Steve

3
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 1: Tasker with you as we take another step closer to

4
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 1: the divisional playoff Bills Bengals at high Mark Stadium mid

5
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 1: afternoon starts. Steve, it's gonna be hard to wait that long. Nah.

6
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 1: We just started getting used to the one o'clocks and

7
00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: now we're going to three. I'm all right with it.

8
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: I'm not complaining. It's just sometimes it's a little harder

9
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 1: to wait that. The problem is the other end o

10
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: the back end of the back end. You know, it's dark,

11
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: it's dark, you know, Yeah, it'll be dark before the

12
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: game's over. Yeah. Yeah, so that's kind of a bummer.

13
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: But still, Um, have you looked at the weather forecast yet?

14
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 1: I have not. I must admit there is a chance

15
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 1: of snow. I've heard not a lot of measurable, nothing

16
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: significantly measurable. I've heard these rumblings about chance of snow

17
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: on Sunday, and let me see if they have it

18
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 1: down to the hours. One o'clock is the peak chance

19
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 1: for snow, it appears, um, so yeah, we shall see.

20
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: And they're I think they're only saying an inch or two,

21
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: so that you were talking about dusting, you know this

22
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: little snow actions like low of thirty nine and high

23
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: of forty three? Is that what you're seeing? Wait? Wait,

24
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: hold on, I don't think it was about it's the

25
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: wrong city here. What's going on? What are you doing

26
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: over there? What are you doing? It's computer stuff. It

27
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: confuses and scares me. Well, we've tried to help you

28
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 1: with that. Tried. Yeah, Okay, there we go. Now I'm

29
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 1: back on this, back in it. Yeah. Yeah, so it's

30
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: you know, it's typical January weather here. As a matter

31
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:29,839
Speaker 1: of fact, you think about last week's game, slice ahead,

32
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: thirty eight degrees, sunshine, blue skies. However, do we see

33
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 1: blue skies here in January? That just doesn't It flat

34
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,119
Speaker 1: out doesn't happen. Yeah, it was lucky if you see

35
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: the sun once every couple of weeks. Right. It was

36
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 1: a great day, fun game, closer than what people thought.

37
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 1: But I know, I look back on it. I mean,

38
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: the Bills were the better team and showed it. Um,

39
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: they kind of messed around, you know, the sack strip

40
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 1: fumble was a huge play, and even then after that

41
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: they came back and got a ten point lead. Yeah

42
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 1: that if you look back on it from this end

43
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,399
Speaker 1: of it, it's like was never really in doubt even

44
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: when they took the lead. So yeah, it was a

45
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 1: fun day, although people were nauseous over watching it. Look well,

46
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: they were wringing their hands a little bit. Yes, yeah,

47
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 1: I'll give you that absolutely. I tweeted it out yesterday

48
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 1: late in the afternoon because the Wednesday injury report for

49
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 1: the Bengals came out way late yesterday, significantly later than

50
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: the Bills put theirs out. And I'll give you what

51
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: the report says, and then I'll add a little bit

52
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: more based on what some Bengals reporters we're talking about

53
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: concerning some of their injured players. So Jonah Williams, the

54
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: left tack who who went out with the dislocated kneecaps

55
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: Sunday night, did not practice yesterday. We should tell you

56
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: that he also dislocated this kneecap in Week five and

57
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: played the next week. So I don't know if we're

58
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: ready to just definitively say the Bengals are going to

59
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: be without their left tackle. Will know more based on

60
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: his availability in practice today. Then you have starting right

61
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: guard Alex Kappa, who missed last week's game with an

62
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 1: ankle injury, and according to reporters in Cincinnati, it is bad.

63
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: One of the reporters said they saw the Bengals starting

64
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: right guard on a scooter, like he's got his leg

65
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 1: up on it. You know those push scooters that those

66
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,840
Speaker 1: guys where you put your one leg on there and

67
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: you pass with the other knee. Yeah. Yeah, So he's

68
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 1: got one of those. He was seen in the locker

69
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: room with that yesterday. That certainly doesn't bode well for

70
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: his availability on Sunday. And then the other injury that

71
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 1: I think is slipping under the radar a bit is

72
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: their dime defensive back, Trey Flowers. The Bengals don't play

73
00:04:58,040 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: a ton of dime, but they play a little bit

74
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: more than most teams these days, and Trey Flowers is

75
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 1: their dime defensive back. He's their sixty B on the

76
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: field when they go to that package. He's got a

77
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 1: hamstring injury, which as we know, is difficult to come

78
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 1: back from, so be interesting to see if he's not

79
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: part of the equation, do they scrap dime all together

80
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: as an option Defensively, We know lu Ana Rumo the

81
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator for the Bengas, likes to disguise coverage mixed pressures.

82
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:28,280
Speaker 1: He's big on variety. And you wonder if Trey Flowers

83
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,479
Speaker 1: is not available for Sunday's game and he has that

84
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: taken away from him, does Anna Rumo just scrap the

85
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: dime package all together or does he have a guy

86
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 1: that he thinks could be a suitable replacement. I'm not

87
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: so sure that he does. On a Rumo is so

88
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: good at adjustments, and that's what everybody says. If you

89
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: if you're limited with your personnel, you're limited with your

90
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: adjustments as well. That doesn't mean he can't scheme it

91
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 1: up still, But yeah, these are these injuries for Cincinnati

92
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 1: are they have got to be concerning from the Kappa

93
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: and Jonah Williams don't go. They've already lost Lyle Collins,

94
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 1: their right tackle. It's it's rough, and it's only been

95
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 1: a few weeks. Like week fifteen is when the last guy.

96
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: That's when the first first guy went. Next week, another

97
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 1: guy goes down on the next week, and other guy's

98
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 1: been three weeks and they haven't had their five guys

99
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 1: back on the field yet since. So it's and if

100
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: anybody watched that Sunday night game Ravens Bengals after Jonah

101
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,359
Speaker 1: Williams went out and now they had three the equivalent

102
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 1: of three backups in the game, they couldn't move the ball. Yeah,

103
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 1: they couldn't run it, and they couldn't throw it. So

104
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,239
Speaker 1: the benefit for them is they have a whole week

105
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: to get it all lined up right then practice together.

106
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: But they better have their silent count ready. Jackson Carmen

107
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: came in at left tackle. Who is Carmen is listed

108
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:53,040
Speaker 1: as a guard right He played left tackle at Clemson.

109
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 1: Actually protected Trevor Lawrence his blindside in college, so it's

110
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: not like he's never played there. Of Course, the NFL

111
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,840
Speaker 1: is a little bit different animal than playing it in

112
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: the ACC. But he has snaps there. I guess you

113
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: would say he's not a foreigner to lining up with

114
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 1: his hand on the you know, out there on the

115
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: left side. So yeah, exactly, And he's you know, in

116
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: the SEC is going to go against some pretty quality

117
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 1: AC oh, that's right, ACC. So he's gone against some

118
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: pretty really good opponents at that level. So yeah, they're

119
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: not going to be bereft of somebody. Actually, the line

120
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 1: up out there I'm just very curious. And we talked

121
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: to Bengals radio color analyst Dave Lapham, who is a

122
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: former offensive lineman in the Bengals number one on our

123
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: podcast this week, Builds by the Numbers, which is out

124
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: by the way if you want to check it out,

125
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 1: and we had an interesting discussion with him. He is

126
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: really concerned about who they're going to have available on

127
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: the offensive line because he thinks it is a problem

128
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: and it's his anticipation they're gonna have to keep a

129
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 1: tight end in to Chip and a back to chip

130
00:07:55,840 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: at times. And he said, the key here is if

131
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 1: Buffalo's front four can get pressure against their five and

132
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: they have to keep extra people in, it's advantage Buffalo

133
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: because now you're dropping seven into coverage against what amounts

134
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 1: to four maybe five guys out and routes. Yeah. Yeah,

135
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 1: well you've got to take advantage of it if it's there,

136
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: if you're Buffalo, you've got to You've got to make

137
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 1: them pay for that. We'll see, Yeah, we'll see. So

138
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: we'll see what the Thursday injury report holds for the Bengals,

139
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: probably not until late in the day again, because they're

140
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 1: not in any hurry to get that out. It seems

141
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 1: practice as far as the Bills are concerned, and we

142
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 1: should tell you that Bills practice updates are presented by

143
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: Lee com Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine. The news

144
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: is pretty good on this front because we saw de

145
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: Quan Jones back out there practicing again today. He was

146
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,680
Speaker 1: limited yesterday and he was a new addition with a

147
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 1: calf injury on the injury report, first time I've seen

148
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 1: him on the injury report all season long. Better news

149
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 1: on Isaiah McKenzie, a full participant in practice yesterday, coming

150
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: off the hamstring injury that kept him out of last

151
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:21,319
Speaker 1: week's game against the Dolphins. So he is certainly trending up.

152
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 1: And it'll be interesting to see if the Bills decide

153
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 1: to go with five receivers on the active roster and

154
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 1: that's it, or if they elevate John Brown again this

155
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 1: week and go with six. They haven't had more than

156
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 1: five for the better part of the last six weeks.

157
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 1: For the first time in a long time, they've actually

158
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 1: got six healthy receivers. Are they going to dress six?

159
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 1: That's what I'm curious to see, because it hasn't been

160
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 1: more than five the last six weeks due to numbers

161
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 1: and injuries, right, and other considerations too. I mean, special

162
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: teams is always a thing. Now he hinds being the

163
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 1: return guy gives them an extra roster spot, although one less,

164
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,839
Speaker 1: I guess, because then you've got Nahem Hines playing mostly

165
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 1: special teams, maybe a handful of offensive snaps, and Taiwan

166
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: Jones as a running back. So now you got four

167
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: running backs with single Tarry not even counting Gilhook getting

168
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 1: Gilliam's five, that's five. So if you go five running backs,

169
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 1: that's why they only dress two tight ends though, because

170
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 1: Gilliam can kind of double there. Yes, exactly, but still,

171
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,679
Speaker 1: I mean you run out of spots pretty quickly when

172
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 1: you've got five running backs done, two of them are

173
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 1: special teams mostly, and then you've got what what are

174
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: you gonna get six? Five receivers maybe six? It's I

175
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 1: think it's a question of snaps. So if you think

176
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 1: John Brown is only going to get ten snaps on offense,

177
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 1: is that worth more to you than twenty snaps for

178
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,959
Speaker 1: Taiwan Jones on special teams? You know, so you have

179
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: to That's what they weigh out every week. Well, how

180
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:02,439
Speaker 1: often how much are we gonna use them, well, we

181
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 1: think we'll use him this much, and you know, they

182
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: just kind of weigh that out. So I'm curious to

183
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 1: see what direction they go in there, especially with the

184
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: way Shakier has flashed of late Steve. I mean, he

185
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 1: essentially plays the same position as McKenzie. Are you doubling

186
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 1: up there? I know that mackenzie can do other things

187
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 1: around the line of scrimmage, jet sweeps, those kinds of things.

188
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 1: He can line up in the backfield and do some

189
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 1: stuff for you there too, But with what Shaquier has

190
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 1: done the last two weeks, I'm very curious to see

191
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,319
Speaker 1: what the breakdown is in terms of the decisions they make,

192
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 1: because I mean, let's not make any mistake with this either.

193
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: Cole Beasley showed up too last week two big. I

194
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:45,200
Speaker 1: know he only had two receptions, but both of them

195
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 1: were big. One was for a touchdown, the other one

196
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 1: one for a catch and run of twenty nine yards.

197
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:53,559
Speaker 1: I mean that's not and you know, I love Isaiah,

198
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 1: but Beasley is more sure handed than him. He just

199
00:11:56,400 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: flat out is. So it's great that he's healthy. I

200
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:06,319
Speaker 1: just wonder if he's up this week eight running eight

201
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: eight offensive lineman, two quarterbacks, five running backs, two tight ends.

202
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 1: That's seventeen guys, not counting a lineman. No. Eight ol

203
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 1: count eight offensive lineman, two quarterbacks. Yeah, five running backs,

204
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 1: two tight ends. So that's like I said, that's seventeen guys.

205
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 1: So if you go twenty and if you got three

206
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 1: special teamers, that's twenty ten defensive backs, five linebackers, and

207
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:45,559
Speaker 1: eight defensive linemen, that's eighteen. That's twenty six there. Yeah,

208
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: and only and only seventeen. Yeah, they usually address five

209
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,199
Speaker 1: linebackers because they have three on specialty. That gives them

210
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 1: some that gives them like two or three guys to

211
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 1: play with. They could have they could go what my

212
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: point is. My point is they could go with five

213
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 1: wide receivers if they wanted, maybe six. Yeah. Yeah, it'll

214
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 1: be an interesting juggling act because it is every week,

215
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 1: especially when you're relatively healthy. Jordan Phillips, we saw it

216
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 1: back out there practicing as well today. He was limited

217
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 1: yesterday with the shoulders. You know, he didn't play last week.

218
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 1: They decided to give that nagging shoulder injury a break.

219
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 1: We'll see what the plan is for him this week.

220
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 1: Because you have guys in reserve on the practice squad,

221
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 1: like Brandon Bryant Elianku, who was called up last week

222
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 1: when Phillips was down. I wonder what kind of DT

223
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 1: they would choose to replace Jordan Phillips. You may want

224
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 1: a guy with a little more pass rush. Elianku made

225
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 1: sense last week because I think they were expecting the

226
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: Dolphins to run the tar out of the ball, knowing

227
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 1: they had a third string quarterback starting. So I understood

228
00:13:55,800 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 1: that move. This week with Burrow, you may want a

229
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 1: guide that gives you a little more pass rush, which

230
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 1: would be Brandon Bryant. I would think this is all

231
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 1: assuming Phillips doesn't play. If Phillips is good to go,

232
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 1: then that's a mood point. But I would think what

233
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,319
Speaker 1: you're looking for there is a little more pass rush

234
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 1: knowing how much the Bengals are gonna throw the thing, right,

235
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 1: I mean that's the way I would lean. Yeah, the

236
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: Bengals don't run it as as well as people might

237
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 1: think they do, so I don't know how much of

238
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 1: how afraid you are of that. Plus, if you're gonna

239
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 1: play complimentary football, bills are bills are gonna throw it?

240
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 1: And if you know, if if they're if the Bills

241
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 1: go out and light it up, the Bengals are gonna

242
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 1: have to keep up with it, and that means throwing it,

243
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: not running it. I'm with you, and maybe maybe instead

244
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 1: of four d tackles, or you go with three and

245
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 1: go with five defensive ends with knowing that one or

246
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 1: two of them may slide down inside on passing downs.

247
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 1: You know what I mean. Take the rotation that way. Yeah,

248
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 1: it's possible. I found I found this quote. You know,

249
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: I'm cruising around and doing research for the game and whatever.

250
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 1: Saw this quote from Jamar Chase yesterday. Just want to

251
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 1: get your thoughts on it. He says, we'll get to

252
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 1: see what we really are in this game. People already

253
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 1: know what we're capable of. They've got a good defense,

254
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 1: but their offense is what holds them up. They live

255
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 1: through their offense. They have good players on defense, They've

256
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 1: got dbs that stand out. They'll be good matchups. But

257
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 1: this is going to be an offensive game. The offense

258
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 1: will have to put up points on both sides if

259
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 1: you want to get a victory. That's the main goal.

260
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 1: That's Jamar Chase's take on this game. Now, you could

261
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 1: create a little bulletin board material there if you wanted

262
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 1: for the defense that this guy thinks they're just going

263
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 1: to come out and light them up put points on

264
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 1: the board. I don't think he meant anything derogatory, buy it.

265
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 1: I think he was just of the opinion that these

266
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 1: are two teams who have offenses that carry them to victories.

267
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 1: And after you watch last week's tape where the Bills

268
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 1: escape with a thirty four thirty one victory, I could

269
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 1: understand why you would think that way if you're Jamar Chase.

270
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 1: Although the two defense got put in ridiculous circumstances last week,

271
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 1: and in my opinion, as I stated earlier in the week,

272
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 1: the defense ended up closing out the game. They won

273
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 1: the game, gave Bills four points, the offense gave up

274
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 1: seven of them. Oh right, fumble return for they gave

275
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 1: up twenty four points to the Grefins, and eighteen of

276
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 1: them were on short fields because of eighteen off staring

277
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 1: over they gave it. They gave it to him on

278
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 1: the eighteen yard line, at thirty eight yard line, and

279
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 1: the twenty three, twenty three yard line. So the defense

280
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 1: did pretty well. So that yeah, he's right, He's right

281
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 1: in a lot of ways. We've all looked at these

282
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 1: two quarterbacks and the weapons that they have in the

283
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 1: way the Bills have been scoring points and the Bengals

284
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 1: what they're capable of. We've seen him. He's right. Everybody

285
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 1: does kind of have this idea that this may be

286
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:09,439
Speaker 1: attract me. And the Bills defense is good compared to

287
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 1: the compared to the Cincinnati defense, the Bills is better

288
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:17,879
Speaker 1: in a lot in some ways, not significantly skyrocketing ahead better. No,

289
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 1: they're very close in a lot of ways, yes, but

290
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 1: against a dilapidated offensive line of Cincinnati, it tilts in

291
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 1: Buffalo's favor. So he may be right, but you're anytime

292
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 1: there's that long of a quote from a player on

293
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 1: the other team, it draws eyeballs because the best way

294
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 1: to handle situations like this is just used to shut up,

295
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 1: because anything you say can be construed or taken out

296
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 1: of context and stuck right up on the bulletin board.

297
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:52,640
Speaker 1: And those guys will have you know, the other team

298
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 1: has fire coming out of its ears. They're so hot.

299
00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 1: You know. It's just the way it is used the

300
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 1: best plan and it's just to be quiet. Yeah, I

301
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 1: get it. These guys can't help themselves. They're awfully confident.

302
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 1: You remember they were chipping, they were, they were chirping.

303
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,119
Speaker 1: They were chirping back in week seventeen. Yes, remember that, Yes,

304
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 1: they were. They're gonna We're no underdog to anybody. I wouldn't.

305
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,160
Speaker 1: We're the top dog in the AFC. Remember Joe Mixon

306
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 1: saying that, yeah, and that that game started out to

307
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:21,920
Speaker 1: be a little bit. It was a little chippy. Oh yeah,

308
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 1: they were. Yeah, Hendrickson leg whipping the josh after the play. Um,

309
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 1: all of that stuff. Hayden Hurst cleaning out Taron Johnson

310
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:31,919
Speaker 1: on a block and then hitting him again after he

311
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 1: was on the ground, on the ground, Um, yes, there

312
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,640
Speaker 1: didn't appreciate that some of that going on. Yeah. Um,

313
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 1: So I don't know. We'll see, we'll see. It hasn't

314
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 1: a chance to be like that. I think it might be. Maybe,

315
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 1: I think it might be. Um, So those are your

316
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 1: practice updates. We should go around the league now here briefly,

317
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:57,879
Speaker 1: as we tell you, around the NFL presented by collid

318
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 1: to Health, the official healthcare system of the buff Low Bills,

319
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 1: and the Bills are going across the pond next year, Steve.

320
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 1: They've got a game in London a Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

321
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 1: Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is the one that the Bills Stadium

322
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 1: is modeled bottled after. It's a it's a the new stadium,

323
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 1: the new one, the new one that's gonna be built.

324
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 1: Um interesting and makes a lot of sense to me.

325
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:28,400
Speaker 1: Let's get a look at it. You know, it's it's

326
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 1: pretty sick. I know, it's pretty nice. I've told you

327
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,920
Speaker 1: a few things about like one hundred and fifty foot

328
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:36,400
Speaker 1: bar that over the biggest bar walk that you can

329
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:38,359
Speaker 1: see the game while you're standing at the bar. The

330
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 1: reason why the game not not a screen, it's like

331
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 1: you're looking on the field. The main reason why is

332
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 1: you can't bring beer back to your seat. That's totally

333
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 1: buffalo right there. Man, come on, let's go. But in

334
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 1: some of the suites there they have the refillable cup.

335
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 1: You put the cup down on the on the cup

336
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 1: stand and there's a there's a plug bottom and you

337
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 1: hit the button and it refills your beer from the

338
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:08,439
Speaker 1: bottom of the glass and then the plug retracts and

339
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 1: you got a full beer. You didn't even move. Is

340
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 1: that pure gluttony or what that is? And then the

341
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 1: other cool thing about that stadium is the football. The

342
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 1: American football field is a turf field. The soccer field

343
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: is a grass pitch and it literally rotates out so

344
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:40,719
Speaker 1: it separates and there's a core belt underneath and it

345
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 1: comes up and the turf field all of a sudden

346
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,439
Speaker 1: is there to meet George. So the soccer field is

347
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 1: not the same field that they play American football games on.

348
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 1: It's a turf field for that. It's if you've ever

349
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 1: seen the mechanics behind it, it's like it's stupid, Like

350
00:20:56,520 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 1: just the engineering involved. It is an absolute masterpiece of

351
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 1: a stadium. They have that giant catwalk thing over one end.

352
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 1: It's it's like it's kind of like that thing they

353
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 1: have in New York City. The edge you can walk out.

354
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,400
Speaker 1: I've been there. It's similar to that in Tottenham Hotspur

355
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 1: Stadium at one end top we gonna be okay with

356
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 1: heights doing it. Could walk out there doing that. It's

357
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:27,920
Speaker 1: pretty sick. But yeah, that's where we know. The Bills

358
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 1: will play in Tottenham Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The last time

359
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 1: they played there was in Wembley because Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

360
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 1: had not been built yet. It was being built at

361
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,680
Speaker 1: that time, but it wasn't finished, and so they will

362
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:45,680
Speaker 1: play at the brand spanking new venue where NFL games

363
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,360
Speaker 1: are staged in London. Don't know who yet, We don't

364
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:51,640
Speaker 1: know who they're going to play. Jacksonville seems obvious. Don't

365
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 1: know if that's right. But here's the thing, Jacksonville's home stadium. Yeah,

366
00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 1: we do play Jacksonville next year and it is one

367
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:03,159
Speaker 1: of our home games, so I guess it's possible. But

368
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:08,400
Speaker 1: Jacksonville usually plays as a home team in London, and

369
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 1: when they do that, they play in Wembley. I'm not

370
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 1: saying that rules Jacksonville out, but it does make it interesting. Yeah, well,

371
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:18,639
Speaker 1: there were a number and there are a number of

372
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 1: teams on Buffalo's home schedule this year who played in

373
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 1: Europe last year. So I don't know if they want

374
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 1: to send one of those teams back to back overseas.

375
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,639
Speaker 1: And we had been talking about this for some time, Steve,

376
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:37,639
Speaker 1: because we knew the league stipulates that every NFL club

377
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 1: has to play at least one international game every eight years. Well,

378
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three is year eight from the last time

379
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:46,399
Speaker 1: the Bills played over there, which was back in twenty

380
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:51,399
Speaker 1: fifteen when they did play Jacksonville at Wembley, so it

381
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 1: was a foregone conclusion. It's just a matter of who

382
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 1: and when, and we'll know more of that. Actually, we'll

383
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:01,399
Speaker 1: probably know that day before we know the rest of

384
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 1: the Bills schedule when it's released in May, because they

385
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:09,360
Speaker 1: usually announce the NFL Europe Games dates, opponents, and times

386
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:13,919
Speaker 1: prior to the full release of a team schedules April,

387
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 1: a couple of days before, not like months. Might be April,

388
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,119
Speaker 1: late April, maybe right before the draft or something. I

389
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 1: don't know why that's sticking in my head. I couldn't

390
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 1: be wrong, but we'll know that date probably before any

391
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: of the others for here and on the road for

392
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 1: Buffalo's twenty twenty three schedule, still pretty cool. Jaguars, Chiefs, Patriots,

393
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:37,120
Speaker 1: Titans are also hosting NFL international games in twenty twenty three,

394
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 1: so I think because of that, Steve, so all those

395
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:45,879
Speaker 1: teams are losing home games, so I think it's Satans

396
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,679
Speaker 1: And yeah, so I think it's safe to say the

397
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 1: Bills are not playing the Jaguars for their Europe game.

398
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 1: They're not playing the Chiefs, who are also on their

399
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 1: schedule for their Europe game, and they're not playing the Patriots,

400
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 1: who are on their schedule for a Europe game because

401
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:06,360
Speaker 1: all of those teams are hosting. So that leaves the

402
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 1: Giants And they played in Europe just last year. Tampa,

403
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:15,879
Speaker 1: they played in Germany just last year. Las Vegas played

404
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 1: over there just last So did Denver could be the Cowboys?

405
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 1: Might be the Cowboy wow yaw Boys wo Wow. Yeah,

406
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 1: that would be a wow. That would be kind of

407
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 1: a wow. That would be a wow game, especially if

408
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:35,159
Speaker 1: they meet in the Super Bowl. Who Yeah, and you

409
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,159
Speaker 1: know the Chiefs are hosting a game over there, so

410
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 1: it's probably not them. Pretty crazy, pretty crazy stuff. Yeah.

411
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 1: We saw some NFL coaching news around the league, one

412
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 1: of which was Steeler's offensive coordinator Matt Canada is going

413
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 1: to return as OC, which I think is a good

414
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,880
Speaker 1: thing for Kenny Pickett more than anything else. So no

415
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,399
Speaker 1: change there. However, within their own division, there will be change.

416
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 1: One year left on Baltimore offensive coordinator Greg Roman's contract,

417
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:16,679
Speaker 1: he has stepped out as offensive coordinator according to reports.

418
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 1: So how much do you believe that is tied to

419
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 1: what Lamar Jackson's future is there in Baltimore? Does that

420
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 1: help them get him back? Under contract or do you

421
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:37,680
Speaker 1: think it hurts them? Wow, Greg Roman, he built an

422
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:43,359
Speaker 1: offensive system around Lamar Jackson. I think it hurts I

423
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 1: think it hurts the future if they sign him. Greg Roman.

424
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 1: His ability to design a run game was second to none.

425
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 1: It was absolutely the key ingredient to Lamar's MVP season.

426
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 1: And that's not the only place he's done at Steve.

427
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 1: He did it here in Buffalo they led the league

428
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 1: in rushing two years in a row. He did it

429
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 1: in San Francisco with Colin Kaepernick, they led the league.

430
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 1: And there's something going on behind the scenes with the

431
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,879
Speaker 1: coaching step with John Harbaugh and saying, listen, we need

432
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 1: we need to step it up in the passing or

433
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 1: they want to do that, and Lamar's clamoring say hey,

434
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 1: you gotta let me throw the football and get me

435
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 1: some weapons and all that. If they're clamoring to do

436
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 1: that to me, Pittsburgh fans, Cincinnati fans, and Cleveland fans

437
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 1: are doing cartwheels because they're a tough team to beat

438
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:33,440
Speaker 1: with Lamar doing that running offense like they have been.

439
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:38,680
Speaker 1: But let's be honest with where this league is going.

440
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:44,159
Speaker 1: That does limit you as an offense. That approach. I

441
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 1: think you can only to me, the Ravens and the

442
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 1: Titans are kind of the same animal. You can only

443
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:53,399
Speaker 1: go so far with that kind of offensive football in

444
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 1: this league? Can you get Are you good enough to

445
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 1: get to the playoffs? Yes? Are you winning the whole

446
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 1: Enchilada with that approach? You know, I think you are

447
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 1: not against the best. And I think the Baltimore Ravens

448
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 1: realize that. And that's that's my belief as to why

449
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:10,360
Speaker 1: those two IF parties are party. They're decided that that

450
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:16,359
Speaker 1: means no Lamar does it. Yes, he can't throw it

451
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,159
Speaker 1: well enough not to run that I would agree with that,

452
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 1: But do they do they believe they can find someone

453
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 1: and I'll say him a better passer. And I say

454
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:28,359
Speaker 1: this too. I heard some people call in, you know,

455
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 1: all all the radio stuff I listened to. I listen

456
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,119
Speaker 1: to talk radio sports radio a lot. This just in

457
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 1: and you've got people coming and saying, Hey, the Ravens

458
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:39,400
Speaker 1: didn't help him out. He didn't have any he doesn't

459
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 1: have any weapons. He doesn't like Yeah, you know why

460
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 1: he doesn't have any weapons because he can't throw. Free

461
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 1: agent wide receivers aren't going there to be a run blocker.

462
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 1: Do you think Steph dig is gonna go but put

463
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 1: a neck roll on and block for Lamar? Are you

464
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 1: kidding me? Nobody wants to play there as a wide

465
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 1: receiver because it's a running offense. Yeah, you don't get targets,

466
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:05,160
Speaker 1: you don't get opportunity, you don't get scheme for your number,

467
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 1: doesn't get called, not unless you're Mark Andrews. Right, So

468
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,440
Speaker 1: why they can't They either have to draft a guy

469
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 1: like that, which they are doing that well. They did

470
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 1: with Rashad Bateman. He was a first round and he's

471
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:19,679
Speaker 1: hurt because you know it was probably what run blocking.

472
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 1: I'm teasing, but yeah, maybe, but that's the thing. Maybe

473
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:27,440
Speaker 1: they and also not giving him anything they built their

474
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:29,959
Speaker 1: entire franchise around. Don't tell me this. They didn't give

475
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 1: him anything. They give him everything. They sold out for him.

476
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 1: They changed everything for him. Coaching, roster, wide receiver, roster,

477
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 1: defensive roster, philosophy, everything was changed for Lamar. Don't give

478
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 1: me this stuff. They didn't give him anything, and now

479
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 1: they their offensive coordinator says, I'm out, Well, you have

480
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:55,440
Speaker 1: to believe there's got to be a difference of philosophy there.

481
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 1: Maybe John Harbaugh and the other powers that be believe

482
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 1: that this offense has to be taken in a different

483
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 1: direction if they're going to compete with the best teams

484
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 1: in the conference. Look at all the quarterbacks that are left.

485
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,240
Speaker 1: I agree, they all throw the tar out of the ball.

486
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 1: Lamar's not that guy. He's not, but he's not right now.

487
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 1: Maybe in some way they believe they have a coordinator

488
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 1: that can make him look better. I mean, how bad

489
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 1: did Trevor Lawrence look last year and now look at

490
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 1: how good he looks with Doug Peterson this year. I

491
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 1: think Baltimore is going to be on the hunt for

492
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 1: somebody like that in the hopes they can fix Lamar

493
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 1: and then franchise Lamar, make him better, make him happy,

494
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 1: and then sign him to a long term deal after

495
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 1: next year. Okay, that's my guess as to what their

496
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,720
Speaker 1: plan is. Good luck well, I would say the same,

497
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 1: because he still can't throw outside the numbers. We have

498
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 1: to take a break here, but when we come back,

524
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 1: start time. Eric, How are you doing? What do you

525
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 1: What do you make of? What do you make of

526
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 1: the latest Bills playoff run? It got a little harry

527
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 1: last week, but they got through it. Yeah, that's what

528
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 1: the playoffs are made for. You know, Steve could tell

529
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:36,959
Speaker 1: you that. Man, every time you're in the playoffs, anything

530
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 1: can happen. It's a new season, the intensity, the level

531
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 1: of play goes up, so you gotta be ready to go.

532
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 1: Was it hard not to seeing it was Bill's Dolphins?

533
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 1: Was it hard not to remember the ninety eight playoff

534
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 1: when well, for lack of a better term, you went off. Yeah,

535
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 1: it reminded me a lot of that, you know, you know,

536
00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 1: I recently, you know, it's crazy. I recently before they

537
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 1: talked to our old coordinator Kevin gilbrid on the phone

538
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 1: and we were talking about the game that we had

539
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 1: in the stadium where we beat the Dolphins thirty three

540
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 1: twenty one, I think it was at score and the

541
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 1: yards that we put up, and that game came into

542
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 1: my mind, and also the playoffs games, So it was

543
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 1: anytime the Bills played the Dolphins. I have a lot

544
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 1: of memories. Yeah, it's it's one of those rivalries that

545
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 1: was on the back burner for a while because of

546
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 1: the success the Patriots had. But man with with the

547
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 1: way two has played, Mike McDaniel bringing the most out

548
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 1: of him, and Waddle and Tyreek Hill, and of course

549
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 1: all the things that are going on with the Buffalo Bills,

550
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:40,320
Speaker 1: it has really heated up that rivalry as of late. Yeah,

551
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 1: they got a pretty solid football team. They're they're scary,

552
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 1: they can score offensively, they have two dynamic receivers. That

553
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 1: defense has proved tremendously, so I think they built their

554
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 1: team to try to match our team. They went out

555
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 1: and traded for a pass rusher, got some guys in

556
00:32:57,520 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 1: the secondary, and got some really good coaches there. So

557
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 1: they really I think from what I see is they're

558
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 1: building their team to compete with the Buffalo Bills in

559
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 1: our division. Speaking of dynamic receivers, we're not going to

560
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 1: be short on them this week, Bills Bengals. So it's

561
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 1: kind of fitting that you're in the house, but digs

562
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:18,479
Speaker 1: Gabe Davis is waking up in the playoffs again, and

563
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 1: then you know they're three. You'd be hard pressed to

564
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 1: find a better trio of receivers than what the Bengals

565
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 1: can line up every week with Boyd, Higgins and Chase. Yeah,

566
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 1: they're very good. They're they're very solid. And the thing

567
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 1: when you look at we have three solid receivers, really

568
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 1: good receivers. Any one of them can have that type

569
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 1: of game where it's one hundred and fifty yard game

570
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 1: is one of those games that they can explode. I

571
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 1: think our job, as our defensive job is to do

572
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 1: this week is to try to slow them down. You're

573
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 1: not going to stop all three, but if you can

574
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 1: limit their big plays, you give you a chance to

575
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 1: give yourself a better chance of winning. You talk about

576
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 1: how these games are a little bit it's a new season,

577
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:01,080
Speaker 1: and I was just asking kind of describe what you

578
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 1: remember about the difference between regular season and playoff football.

579
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 1: They usually say it's like preseason, then there's regular season,

580
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:10,880
Speaker 1: and there's regular season, then there's the playoffs. Describe the

581
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 1: atmosphere and the differences in playoff football. I think for

582
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 1: me it's the intensity and the anxiety because you know

583
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:24,320
Speaker 1: if you lose your one and done. So every second,

584
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 1: every minute, every play counts. You want to limit your mistakes,

585
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:30,360
Speaker 1: and you don't want to be the team that turns

586
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 1: the ball over as much as the team you're playing.

587
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:34,759
Speaker 1: Now I can tell you back and then when we

588
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 1: played Miami that playoff game, we had Miami beat from

589
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 1: talking a lot of their players like Zach Thomas, that

590
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:42,799
Speaker 1: played a lot of their really good players in and

591
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 1: we turned the ball over five times that game. So

592
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 1: obviously the numbers were against us to win that football game.

593
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:50,880
Speaker 1: And I think that no matter what team is playing,

594
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:53,720
Speaker 1: whether it's the Buffalo Bills this week or Cincinnati Bingles

595
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 1: this week, whoever turns the ball over the most usually

596
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:00,360
Speaker 1: loses that game. So if we limit our turn overs,

597
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:02,920
Speaker 1: I think we give ourself an excellent, excellent chance to

598
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:05,759
Speaker 1: win this game. So that's that's what I recall from

599
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:08,719
Speaker 1: the playoffs. A lot of you obviously played with a

600
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:10,719
Speaker 1: quarterback who could chuck it around the yard and Drew

601
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,920
Speaker 1: bledsoe the Bills have a guy that can really throw

602
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:16,839
Speaker 1: it in Josh. And it was interesting watching the game

603
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 1: unfold last week, Eric, because they got Digs involved early

604
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 1: and then at halftime the Dolphins said, will hold on

605
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 1: a second, We're not gonna let this guy beat us anymore.

606
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 1: They completely put all of their attention on him, and

607
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:31,640
Speaker 1: then Gabe Davis goes off. Cole Beasley makes a few plays.

608
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 1: My question to you is, how did you and Peerless

609
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:38,880
Speaker 1: Price kind of work off each other in that way

610
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:41,719
Speaker 1: back during the O two season when you guys both

611
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 1: had I think it was over eleven hundred yards each,

612
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:46,799
Speaker 1: you know, and more than five I think each had

613
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:49,400
Speaker 1: like seven and nine touchdowns something like that. How did

614
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 1: you guys work the defenses, you know, and kind of

615
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 1: take advantage when you saw a coverage shift. Well, you

616
00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:00,040
Speaker 1: anytime you got two solid guys like Dave and you

617
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:02,719
Speaker 1: got Dicks, you gotta have a batman and Robin, and

618
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:05,360
Speaker 1: everybody has to know their role, but the role of

619
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:07,919
Speaker 1: that number two receivers to say, hey, if they take

620
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:10,799
Speaker 1: our main guy where you have to make plays no

621
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 1: matter who it is, if it's easily, if it's hikor

622
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:17,839
Speaker 1: if it's knocks, those guys have to take pressure off

623
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:19,640
Speaker 1: of Dicks because at the end of the day, every

624
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:22,520
Speaker 1: team that comes in to our stadium is gonna say, Okay,

625
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:26,440
Speaker 1: we cannot let Diggs beat us. So those guys have

626
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 1: to know that, and Josh knows that, So you know,

627
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:30,759
Speaker 1: you gotta be solid. You gotta give your number one

628
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 1: chance to make plays because Dick is a special talent.

629
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, it's about winning.

630
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:37,120
Speaker 1: So at times it's gonna be like, why they're not

631
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 1: getting the ball to Digs, But Diggs has to be patient.

632
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:42,600
Speaker 1: He'll get his touches. But it comes. It comes about,

633
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:44,800
Speaker 1: in my opinion, in this game, it's gonna be in

634
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:48,960
Speaker 1: a situation where chikor knocks in our running game with

635
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 1: single Terry and Cook, they're gonna be the keys. Doesn't

636
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:55,439
Speaker 1: win this game. Now you're gonna have some plays made

637
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:58,799
Speaker 1: by Davis and also Dick is gonna be Digs. But

638
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:01,239
Speaker 1: this game is gonna come down to those guys making

639
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:04,320
Speaker 1: plays and taking pressure off of Josh. So off our guys,

640
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 1: our guys that are not our batman, but our Robin

641
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:11,200
Speaker 1: guys make plays. We should be successful in this game. Yeah,

642
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:13,720
Speaker 1: I agree with you. Sometimes it's it's not your stars

643
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:15,440
Speaker 1: do show up and they're gonna be there when you

644
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:18,800
Speaker 1: need him and all that, But it's the quote others

645
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 1: that really put you over the top. In games like this,

646
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:22,920
Speaker 1: I was gonna ask you this. You got two quarterbacks.

647
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:26,239
Speaker 1: These are two guys, are unbelievable quarterbacks, Joe Burrow and

648
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. But they're very different. Joe Burrow is an

649
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:32,480
Speaker 1: in the pocket guy. He's athletic enough, but he really

650
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:37,399
Speaker 1: doesn't run very much. He's slippery enough, but man, oh man,

651
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:39,759
Speaker 1: he delivers the football. And Josh is a guy he's

652
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 1: like you know that, He's like a buffalo man. He'll

653
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 1: pound through people, He'll sling it all over the yard.

654
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:48,680
Speaker 1: You know what, as a receiver, what are the differences

655
00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 1: that playing with a guy like Josh and playing with

656
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 1: a guy like Joe. Well, I'll tell you what. I'll

657
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 1: give you, Guys. An example, I played with Doug Flutie

658
00:37:57,160 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 1: and Drew Blesso. Drew Blesso a similar to Joe Burrow,

659
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:03,839
Speaker 1: stays in the pocket. He's not gonna run very much.

660
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:06,640
Speaker 1: He's gonna deliver the ball where it's supposed to be. Now.

661
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:10,160
Speaker 1: Josh Shallon, on the other hand, is a little bit

662
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:13,359
Speaker 1: of both. He's the size of Drew Blesso but has

663
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:15,839
Speaker 1: the feet of Doug Clutey. So you have a guy

664
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:17,920
Speaker 1: that's gonna make plays with his arm, and also with

665
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:20,239
Speaker 1: his feet. So to give you an example of what

666
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:22,600
Speaker 1: I think about both of those quarterbacks, Joe Burrow at

667
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:24,920
Speaker 1: times will run, but he'd rather not run. He rather

668
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:28,040
Speaker 1: sit in the pocket and deliver the football, which makes

669
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 1: him extremely dangerous because receivers are gonna work to get

670
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:35,440
Speaker 1: open more for him. As as Josh can run and throw.

671
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:38,400
Speaker 1: He's a he's a he's a double threat, and he's

672
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:41,479
Speaker 1: the guy that we can't afford to not play well

673
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:45,319
Speaker 1: to win football games. All right, So a lot of

674
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:52,360
Speaker 1: people Eric believe this has the potential to be a shootout. Um, First,

675
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:54,080
Speaker 1: do you see it that way? Do you think it

676
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:57,759
Speaker 1: has that potential? And do you think it could be

677
00:38:57,800 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 1: a game where it comes down to you whoever has

678
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:04,719
Speaker 1: the ball? You know, honestly, I thought about it last night.

679
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:06,760
Speaker 1: I thought maybe it could be one of those games

680
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 1: that it's going to come down to who has the

681
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:11,560
Speaker 1: last possession. But then I thought, as I watched football

682
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:13,719
Speaker 1: over the years, and I watched the Bills growing up,

683
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:16,680
Speaker 1: I watched a lot of great teams with offensive grow

684
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 1: up and playing in this league for a long time,

685
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:21,440
Speaker 1: it could be one of those games that one of

686
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:23,239
Speaker 1: the teams to blow the other teams out. I think

687
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:26,320
Speaker 1: if we do what we're cable of doing, run the football,

688
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:29,439
Speaker 1: Josh makes the plays that he usually makes, and our

689
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:32,719
Speaker 1: defenses played solid, we'll blow this team out. I think

690
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:35,000
Speaker 1: that it's one of those games that I think could

691
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:37,439
Speaker 1: end up being a thirty eight to twenty one game.

692
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:40,759
Speaker 1: I think you look at when we play really well,

693
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:43,640
Speaker 1: we don't turn the ball over. When we let teams

694
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:45,879
Speaker 1: and games we turn the ball over. I think Cincinnati

695
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 1: is one of those teams that Joe Burrow is a

696
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:50,480
Speaker 1: guy that he has turned the ball over, but he's

697
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 1: a guy that's gonna make the plays that are there.

698
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 1: We take those plays away from Cincinnati early. I think

699
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:56,799
Speaker 1: it'll be one of those games where a lot of

700
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:58,920
Speaker 1: people in the country would be surprised, like while the

701
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:03,000
Speaker 1: Bills are really legit team m Yeah, I like that

702
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:05,839
Speaker 1: assessment a lot, and I hope you're right, because we'll

703
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:08,280
Speaker 1: all be My blood pressure will be a lot lower

723
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 1: a prime candidate for the Wall of Fame. Yeah, he

724
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:08,880
Speaker 1: he was. That dude was special. Was a tremendous player,

725
00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:10,840
Speaker 1: a tremendous player. He was one of the he's one

726
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 1: of the few guys. When I was his teammate for

727
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:17,960
Speaker 1: his first year man. He was tremendous, tremendous, really good player.

728
00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:21,480
Speaker 1: M fun to watch, just like you know you have

729
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:23,279
Speaker 1: those players that are just fun to watch. That guy

730
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:28,200
Speaker 1: was fun to watch. He really was um and you

731
00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:34,040
Speaker 1: know flutey for you know the pluses and minuses to

732
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:38,759
Speaker 1: his game. He was a guy that was smart enough

733
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:41,439
Speaker 1: to know, hey, I'm throwing at the malts. Yeah, any

734
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 1: chance he had, he was throwing at the malts. Yeah.

735
00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:45,759
Speaker 1: That was one of the biggest reasons why he had

736
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:49,440
Speaker 1: a hundred catch season and one hundred catch seasons weren't

737
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:53,600
Speaker 1: a dime a dozen back then. So I still remember

738
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:57,719
Speaker 1: a play he made against New England. It was a

739
00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:00,680
Speaker 1: night game. He's coming down the mid the field on

740
00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:04,239
Speaker 1: a deep post and the passes behind him and he

741
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:07,480
Speaker 1: catches it with one hand on his on his down

742
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:11,080
Speaker 1: on his upfield hip and never broke stride. He like

743
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:13,600
Speaker 1: twisted his upper body while he's still running towards the

744
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:16,000
Speaker 1: end zone, just turned, caught it on his with one

745
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:18,680
Speaker 1: hand on his back hip and just ran into the

746
00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:21,320
Speaker 1: end zone. It was it was stupid. People in the

747
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:24,359
Speaker 1: press box, whoa And you're not really supposed to cheer

748
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:26,040
Speaker 1: or say anything in the press box. But people were

749
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:28,080
Speaker 1: pretty amazed by that one. It was ridiculous. He was,

750
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:30,120
Speaker 1: and he had a lot like that. He was one

751
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:34,080
Speaker 1: of the most phenomenal in a game full of unbelievable athletes.

752
00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:41,600
Speaker 1: He was unbelievable. He was unbelievable. So, yeah, it was great. Yeah,

753
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:43,720
Speaker 1: it's a great player. And he deserves be a legend

754
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:45,880
Speaker 1: of the game, no question about it. Yeah, he deserves

755
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:48,439
Speaker 1: a lot. Yeah. He And you think you talk about

756
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:52,440
Speaker 1: going to the wrong team at the wrong time, He

757
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:54,839
Speaker 1: is a total example of that. And he did get

758
00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:56,239
Speaker 1: to the playoffs the first couple of years he was

759
00:42:56,280 --> 00:43:01,320
Speaker 1: in the league. But you know, for the quarterback carousel

760
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:05,000
Speaker 1: that he lived through and was destined to be a

761
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:06,919
Speaker 1: part of for most of his career. Man oh man,

762
00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:10,759
Speaker 1: what a player he was. So Eric Mole's legend of

763
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:12,799
Speaker 1: the game this week, and with that big base in

764
00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:14,520
Speaker 1: his booming voice, it should be good. He should be

765
00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:18,440
Speaker 1: getting the guys hyped, getting the fans hyped. Come Sunday afternoon,

766
00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:21,439
Speaker 1: we will take a break here. When we come back,

767
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:23,799
Speaker 1: we'll set the table on the topic of the day.

768
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:26,719
Speaker 1: We haven't gotten to that yet. It's pretty straightforward. We'll

769
00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:28,560
Speaker 1: tell you what it is next here on One Bill's Live,

Speaker 1: and you can also hit us up on the tweet

781
00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:12,200
Speaker 1: sheet at One Bill's Live. Good conversation there with Eric Molds.

782
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:16,360
Speaker 1: It's interesting he is not the only one who believes

783
00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:19,280
Speaker 1: that the Bills will handle the Bengals and surprise some people.

784
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:25,120
Speaker 1: Eric Wettele, former NFL safety, was doing an interview with

785
00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:27,719
Speaker 1: Kay Adams formerly of Good Morning Football. She now has

786
00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:31,040
Speaker 1: that up in Adams podcast, and he was saying he

787
00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:34,840
Speaker 1: thinks the Bengals are in trouble too, and man, I

788
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:37,920
Speaker 1: I kind of want to give the Bengals their due respect.

789
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:41,680
Speaker 1: I mean, not for nothing. Last year's playoff run. They

790
00:44:41,719 --> 00:44:45,440
Speaker 1: did come back beat the Titans, which shocked some people.

791
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:48,200
Speaker 1: They're really good at force and turnovers in the second

792
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:52,000
Speaker 1: half of football games. An rumo draws up some halftime stuff.

793
00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:55,600
Speaker 1: They come out in the second half and they confuse quarterbacks.

794
00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:57,759
Speaker 1: They're getting takeaways. And they did it again last week.

795
00:44:57,800 --> 00:45:00,200
Speaker 1: They get a fumble in the second half, take get

796
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:02,440
Speaker 1: back ninety eight yards and win the dang game. Like

797
00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 1: they're opportunistic in a way that I think deserves some respect.

798
00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:09,840
Speaker 1: I don't know it's true. Maybe I'm giving them too

799
00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:12,160
Speaker 1: much credit, and sometimes that can be the personality of

800
00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:16,560
Speaker 1: a team. I just don't know how you game plan

801
00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:20,439
Speaker 1: that in Yeah, you know, if you could game plan

802
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:23,719
Speaker 1: three second half turnovers, you do it every week, right,

803
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:26,359
Speaker 1: And if you don't and teams don't, shouldn't help, you know,

804
00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:29,840
Speaker 1: teams help them when they do that, obviously, you know.

805
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:32,160
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not so much about them or their

806
00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:34,799
Speaker 1: defense about the other team. What maybe they're in a

807
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:37,280
Speaker 1: close game, Maybe they're they keep teams close and teams

808
00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:39,160
Speaker 1: get desperate and turn it over. I can see that.

809
00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:41,879
Speaker 1: But you talk about Eric Weddle, who you know, thinks

810
00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:44,960
Speaker 1: the Bills could get away, and Eric Molds as well.

811
00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:50,200
Speaker 1: Most of those guys are talking about how the offensive

812
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:52,080
Speaker 1: line of the Bengals isn't what it should be right now,

813
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:54,719
Speaker 1: and we don't know that for sure. There's still a

814
00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 1: chance that Jonah Williams could come back and play left

815
00:45:57,239 --> 00:46:01,759
Speaker 1: tackle for him, Well, he did it before and even

816
00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:04,279
Speaker 1: though he's not practicing. I mean, at this point, how

817
00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:08,960
Speaker 1: many reps does he need? Right so he could not

818
00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:11,560
Speaker 1: practice all, we can still plug in and play at

819
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:14,439
Speaker 1: left tackle. They'll be fine, Kappa. From what you've heard

820
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:15,960
Speaker 1: and some of the reports that are getting out of

821
00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:18,640
Speaker 1: there that he's still a ways away. Okay, fine, but

822
00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:22,640
Speaker 1: they've been without him for a month so or almost

823
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:26,640
Speaker 1: that long. So yeah, their offensive line may not be

824
00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:30,719
Speaker 1: as hobbled as it could have been, but I think

825
00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:32,960
Speaker 1: it most of it hinges on Jonah Williams in his

826
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:35,040
Speaker 1: ability to get back on the field. That's what you

827
00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:37,480
Speaker 1: gotta watch, and that's where most people think. If their

828
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:42,239
Speaker 1: offensive line is compromised to that degree, you gotta give

829
00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:45,760
Speaker 1: the nod to the Bills in that situation, right, Yeah,

830
00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:49,960
Speaker 1: I mean I get that. I just they just seem opportunistic.

831
00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:52,800
Speaker 1: They may not even play better in a giving game,

832
00:46:53,239 --> 00:46:56,160
Speaker 1: and somehow they end up winning games. I guess that

833
00:46:56,239 --> 00:46:58,120
Speaker 1: kind of luck has to run out at some point,

834
00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:01,480
Speaker 1: and hopefully it does this way, But I don't know.

835
00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:06,640
Speaker 1: It's I feel like I should give them the respect

836
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 1: they deserve as the defending AFC champions, and you know,

837
00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:13,040
Speaker 1: you look at their run last year. It was fueled

838
00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:17,640
Speaker 1: by takeaways. They got nine takeaways in four playoff games

839
00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:20,239
Speaker 1: last year, and almost all of them came in the

840
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:23,840
Speaker 1: second half. It was uncanny. And then they do it

841
00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:26,000
Speaker 1: again this past Sunday night, and I'm just like, well,

842
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:28,839
Speaker 1: hold on a second, they're gonna do it again. So

843
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:34,040
Speaker 1: it just has me wondering how that all will shake out.

844
00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:36,680
Speaker 1: It's here on Sunday. Yeah, I mean, it's an issue.

845
00:47:39,040 --> 00:47:41,880
Speaker 1: It's but I'll say this, it's hard to the Bills.

846
00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:45,600
Speaker 1: And I said it before. The Bills are that team

847
00:47:45,719 --> 00:47:49,560
Speaker 1: that have turned it over and it hasn't bothered them.

848
00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:51,440
Speaker 1: They're seven and two this season when they give the

849
00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:55,120
Speaker 1: ball away two times two plus times. They're four and

850
00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:57,680
Speaker 1: won this season when they turned the ball over three times.

851
00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:03,279
Speaker 1: All other teams in the league are twelve and sixty two.

852
00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:05,120
Speaker 1: When they turn it over three times, the bills are

853
00:48:05,120 --> 00:48:08,560
Speaker 1: four and one. Yeah, the bills are They're hard to

854
00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:11,440
Speaker 1: beat no matter what. Yeah. And the only way that

855
00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:13,640
Speaker 1: the teams beat them is when they help those teams

856
00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:17,400
Speaker 1: beat them, right, I mean that's all there is to it.

857
00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:19,799
Speaker 1: You can beat the bills, but you need their help,

858
00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:25,440
Speaker 1: that's right. Yeah. You put it on a bumper sticker. Yes,

859
00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:29,920
Speaker 1: fair enough. I'm a T shirt with that on it.

860
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:32,120
Speaker 1: Let's take a phone call real quick. We'll go to

861
00:48:32,239 --> 00:48:35,440
Speaker 1: Mark in West Seneca. What you got for us? Mark,

862
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:38,640
Speaker 1: You're on one bills? Live good afternoon, guys. Say two

863
00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:41,440
Speaker 1: things I wanted to chime in now, Lamar. But as

864
00:48:41,440 --> 00:48:44,560
Speaker 1: far as winning the game, I think this game falls

865
00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:48,400
Speaker 1: directly on the shoulders of Leslie Frasier in this respect,

866
00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:52,800
Speaker 1: with our situation in our defensive backfield, I don't believe

867
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:56,560
Speaker 1: we're good enough right now to line up and say,

868
00:48:57,719 --> 00:48:59,680
Speaker 1: you know how we play, you know what our coverage

869
00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:02,440
Speaker 1: is to complicularly our our guys are just gonna beat

870
00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:05,400
Speaker 1: your guys. Their guys are too good right now. I

871
00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:08,160
Speaker 1: think he's got to be very multiple in his coverages,

872
00:49:08,560 --> 00:49:10,040
Speaker 1: and I think he's got to come up with some

873
00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:12,640
Speaker 1: different kinds of things that's going to make Joe think

874
00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:15,959
Speaker 1: and maybe things he didn't expect the Bills to do

875
00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:19,360
Speaker 1: during the game. And I'm not saying get crazy exotic,

876
00:49:19,680 --> 00:49:22,960
Speaker 1: but I think he can't just be simplistic, do a

877
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:25,279
Speaker 1: couple of things on the defensive line and say we're

878
00:49:25,320 --> 00:49:29,319
Speaker 1: gonna beat you guys because Chase Boyd and Higgins are

879
00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:31,400
Speaker 1: just too good. They're just too good. And then the

880
00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:34,959
Speaker 1: other thing, the other thing I wanted to mention about

881
00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:37,080
Speaker 1: Lamar is there's always a lot to talk about Lamar.

882
00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:40,760
Speaker 1: And I try to look at this common sense wise,

883
00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:43,439
Speaker 1: and I look at the Baltimore Ravens and I say,

884
00:49:43,840 --> 00:49:48,160
Speaker 1: this is a great organization that perennially is always very

885
00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:54,319
Speaker 1: good at recognizing talent, drafting talent, developing talent. You've got

886
00:49:54,360 --> 00:50:00,120
Speaker 1: a great coach in Harbaugh, and he develops his play.

887
00:50:00,520 --> 00:50:03,080
Speaker 1: He's a super Bowl winning coach. He knows what it takes.

888
00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:06,880
Speaker 1: And they've had Lamar for what four years now? And

889
00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:09,719
Speaker 1: you're gonna tell me that this organization sees this guy

890
00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:13,360
Speaker 1: in practice every day and sees him throwing the ball

891
00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:16,359
Speaker 1: and tearing up is what is typically a very good

892
00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:19,719
Speaker 1: defense and then says to themselves, you know, we're not

893
00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:22,200
Speaker 1: going to give him talent. We're just gonna make him

894
00:50:22,200 --> 00:50:25,080
Speaker 1: just continue to run the ball. I mean, they see

895
00:50:25,120 --> 00:50:30,160
Speaker 1: this guy every single day. They're a good organization. If

896
00:50:30,200 --> 00:50:33,840
Speaker 1: they really believed in him as a thrower of the football,

897
00:50:34,360 --> 00:50:36,799
Speaker 1: not only would they have over the last maybe two

898
00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:39,520
Speaker 1: or three years ago went out and really tried to

899
00:50:39,560 --> 00:50:42,839
Speaker 1: get him top end talent, they would have signed him

900
00:50:42,920 --> 00:50:46,759
Speaker 1: number one already. And they also wouldn't share trade guys

901
00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:49,920
Speaker 1: way like Hollywood Brown and things with that nature. So

902
00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:52,759
Speaker 1: I think if you just look at it from a

903
00:50:52,840 --> 00:50:56,600
Speaker 1: distance and say, use common sense and connect the dots,

904
00:50:57,480 --> 00:51:01,359
Speaker 1: this organization doesn't really believe he's a thrower of the ball.

905
00:51:01,520 --> 00:51:05,440
Speaker 1: That's my take on it. So I appreciate the car.

906
00:51:05,719 --> 00:51:09,360
Speaker 1: That's a nice call. You're right, m Baltimore. I've I

907
00:51:09,480 --> 00:51:11,919
Speaker 1: said it earlier in the show that Baltimore has really

908
00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:17,759
Speaker 1: built that thing around Lamar, both outside and inside. They

909
00:51:17,880 --> 00:51:20,560
Speaker 1: got in Greg Roman who could really design run plays

910
00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:22,600
Speaker 1: and run a run game that would support him and

911
00:51:22,640 --> 00:51:27,120
Speaker 1: help him maximize his talents. Um and you're right, they

912
00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:30,000
Speaker 1: have not They have not been able to or have

913
00:51:30,080 --> 00:51:33,920
Speaker 1: not given him weapons on the outside, but see and

914
00:51:33,960 --> 00:51:36,319
Speaker 1: they see him every day. They know what he's capable of,

915
00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:38,120
Speaker 1: and what they do, what do they do? They build

916
00:51:38,160 --> 00:51:41,279
Speaker 1: it to what his strengths are. They try and maximize it.

917
00:51:42,160 --> 00:51:45,120
Speaker 1: You don't build your roster hoping your quarterback grows into it.

918
00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:48,120
Speaker 1: You build your roster of what your quarterback does well.

919
00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:51,359
Speaker 1: And they see him every day. And I think that's

920
00:51:51,360 --> 00:51:58,400
Speaker 1: a big point by you, Mark. With Roman now parting ways,

921
00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:00,520
Speaker 1: there might be a shift in fill if he's there

922
00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:03,560
Speaker 1: that they believe Lamar in that kind of an offense

923
00:52:03,600 --> 00:52:05,279
Speaker 1: can't get them over the top and to a super

924
00:52:05,280 --> 00:52:07,839
Speaker 1: Bowl because he can't stay healthy enough running the ball

925
00:52:07,880 --> 00:52:10,000
Speaker 1: that much. And if they don't want him as their

926
00:52:10,080 --> 00:52:12,839
Speaker 1: quarterback anymore, and they've already bounced Roman and they're gonna

927
00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:15,360
Speaker 1: sign somebody else, they're still smart enough to not let

928
00:52:15,400 --> 00:52:17,319
Speaker 1: him get away for nothing. They're gonna franchise the guy

929
00:52:17,400 --> 00:52:19,359
Speaker 1: signed him to a long term extension and trade him.

930
00:52:19,520 --> 00:52:21,680
Speaker 1: That's what they'll do. If they don't think he can

931
00:52:21,719 --> 00:52:26,560
Speaker 1: win them a super Bowl, that's what they'll do. I think, Yeah,

932
00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:34,000
Speaker 1: what I would do is draft his replacement, franchise him

933
00:52:34,680 --> 00:52:39,800
Speaker 1: for two years, and then let him go. Yeah, franchise

934
00:52:39,880 --> 00:52:42,239
Speaker 1: and for one year because you're not you can trade

935
00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:43,640
Speaker 1: him at the end of it. He could trade him

936
00:52:43,640 --> 00:52:46,000
Speaker 1: after off the franchise tag or whatever if he signs

937
00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:48,960
Speaker 1: it and just just let him go someplace and see

938
00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:51,560
Speaker 1: if they can do it. Then Yeah, Lamar to me,

939
00:52:51,719 --> 00:52:54,200
Speaker 1: and he's the MVP. I get it. But they're not

940
00:52:54,239 --> 00:52:56,759
Speaker 1: in the Baltimore is not in the business of helping

941
00:52:56,800 --> 00:53:00,719
Speaker 1: their quarterback win the MVP. They're in the business of

942
00:53:00,800 --> 00:53:04,480
Speaker 1: winning Super Bowls. They don't care for Lamar's the MVP

943
00:53:04,680 --> 00:53:06,480
Speaker 1: or if he's the number thirty two starting quarterback in

944
00:53:06,520 --> 00:53:08,200
Speaker 1: the league, if they win in the Super Bowl. It's

945
00:53:08,239 --> 00:53:11,560
Speaker 1: not about Lamar and his individual accomplishments, and they're having

946
00:53:11,560 --> 00:53:13,799
Speaker 1: a hard time getting over the hump with him as

947
00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:16,799
Speaker 1: their quarterback. Yeah, break time for us here. When we

948
00:53:16,920 --> 00:53:20,080
Speaker 1: come back, we're gonna talk a little Bills in Europe

949
00:53:20,360 --> 00:53:23,080
Speaker 1: since they have that game in London next year, and

950
00:53:23,239 --> 00:53:27,800
Speaker 1: who do we tap for that? NFL UK reporter Neil Reynolds.

951
00:53:27,880 --> 00:53:29,799
Speaker 1: Of course it's going to join us next here on

952
00:53:29,800 --> 00:53:40,960
Speaker 1: one Bills Live. Stay tuned, all right. Here we are

953
00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:43,760
Speaker 1: our number two on one Bills Live. Chris Brown, Steve

954
00:53:43,800 --> 00:53:48,360
Speaker 1: Tasker with you here on a Thursday, and we're going

955
00:53:48,400 --> 00:53:53,240
Speaker 1: to be joined shortly here by NFL UK reporter coverage

956
00:53:53,239 --> 00:53:55,520
Speaker 1: of the NFL in the United Kingdom. The one and

957
00:53:55,600 --> 00:53:58,040
Speaker 1: only Neil Reynolds will be joining us here momentarily to

958
00:53:58,239 --> 00:54:05,120
Speaker 1: discuss twenty twenty three regular season football in Europe. Total

959
00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:10,680
Speaker 1: of five teams set to play games overseas, the Jaguars

960
00:54:11,360 --> 00:54:15,399
Speaker 1: and the Bills in the UK and one of those

961
00:54:15,440 --> 00:54:18,200
Speaker 1: games at Wembley, the other at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, that

962
00:54:18,320 --> 00:54:22,759
Speaker 1: being the Bills game. And then beyond that you've got

963
00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:28,080
Speaker 1: the Chiefs playing over there along with who are the

964
00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:31,640
Speaker 1: other teams? I just lost my page, darnings. It was

965
00:54:32,719 --> 00:54:36,040
Speaker 1: the Bills, the Jaguars, the Chiefs, the Patriots, and the

966
00:54:36,080 --> 00:54:38,879
Speaker 1: Patriots and the Titans. Thank you, Steve. So all those

967
00:54:38,880 --> 00:54:42,240
Speaker 1: teams playing overseas, a couple of them in Germany, and

968
00:54:43,400 --> 00:54:46,560
Speaker 1: no teams will be playing in Mexico City next year

969
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:51,880
Speaker 1: because Stadio Azteca is undergoing renovations, so there will be

970
00:54:51,920 --> 00:54:56,160
Speaker 1: a one year hiatus in Mexico City. No games south

971
00:54:56,200 --> 00:55:02,120
Speaker 1: of the border next year. Bills were last in London

972
00:55:02,160 --> 00:55:06,400
Speaker 1: at Wembley Stadium in twenty fifteen, played against the Jaguars,

973
00:55:06,440 --> 00:55:09,760
Speaker 1: a game we would all like to forget. Heartbreaking finish

974
00:55:10,040 --> 00:55:13,320
Speaker 1: on a phantom pass interference call on Nickel Roby Coleman.

975
00:55:13,840 --> 00:55:16,840
Speaker 1: He didn't even touch the guy gets called for PI

976
00:55:17,440 --> 00:55:20,640
Speaker 1: on fourth down, fresh set of downs for the Jaguars

977
00:55:20,960 --> 00:55:24,000
Speaker 1: with the Bills up thirty one twenty eight, and Bortles

978
00:55:24,040 --> 00:55:26,280
Speaker 1: and company go on to score a game winning touchdown

979
00:55:26,680 --> 00:55:30,080
Speaker 1: thirty four thirty one the final Bortles and company. Oh

980
00:55:30,120 --> 00:55:34,920
Speaker 1: my gosh. Yeah, yeah, that's not fun, right, Yeah, it

981
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:38,480
Speaker 1: was brutal. Yeah, yeah, y'all remember all those plays, right,

982
00:55:38,520 --> 00:55:41,160
Speaker 1: they just give it to him. Well, my vantage point

983
00:55:41,239 --> 00:55:43,120
Speaker 1: in the stadium. First of all, we were an outdoor

984
00:55:43,160 --> 00:55:44,680
Speaker 1: press box, so that was kind of a new thing.

985
00:55:45,840 --> 00:55:47,920
Speaker 1: Open air, you know, which you don't really have too

986
00:55:47,920 --> 00:55:50,400
Speaker 1: often in the NFL. There are some stadiums that do

987
00:55:50,480 --> 00:55:51,960
Speaker 1: have it because of the time of year. We never

988
00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:56,480
Speaker 1: get that. Yeah, So that's part one, Part two. My

989
00:55:56,680 --> 00:55:59,319
Speaker 1: vantage point, where I happened to be sitting, gave me

990
00:55:59,360 --> 00:56:03,680
Speaker 1: the perfect angle on that play to see that there

991
00:56:03,800 --> 00:56:06,400
Speaker 1: was in fact separation between the kell Robie Coleman and

992
00:56:06,400 --> 00:56:08,480
Speaker 1: the intended receiver whose name is going to escape me

993
00:56:08,560 --> 00:56:12,440
Speaker 1: right now. And they call PI on fourth down on

994
00:56:12,520 --> 00:56:15,200
Speaker 1: the kel Robie Coleman, and there is no way you

995
00:56:15,239 --> 00:56:18,400
Speaker 1: can convince me there was past interference on that play,

996
00:56:18,680 --> 00:56:22,640
Speaker 1: but they called it spot foul first down and the

997
00:56:22,680 --> 00:56:26,840
Speaker 1: rest is history. It was just infuriating because EJ. Manuel

998
00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:30,360
Speaker 1: had a horrendous start. I think he had three turnovers

999
00:56:30,360 --> 00:56:34,520
Speaker 1: and ten snaps and they were down like twenty eight

1000
00:56:34,560 --> 00:56:39,440
Speaker 1: to three or something, and they staged this comeback. It

1001
00:56:39,560 --> 00:56:42,080
Speaker 1: was amazing, and they took the lead thirty one twenty

1002
00:56:42,080 --> 00:56:47,239
Speaker 1: eight and then the fanom call extends the Jacksonville drive

1003
00:56:47,280 --> 00:56:49,520
Speaker 1: and they win the game. So you want to talk

1004
00:56:49,560 --> 00:56:53,160
Speaker 1: about a long flight home, that was a long one. Yeah,

1005
00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:59,840
Speaker 1: that was a long one. So we do the technical difficulties.

1006
00:56:59,840 --> 00:57:01,319
Speaker 1: New Reynolds isn't going to be able to be on

1007
00:57:01,400 --> 00:57:03,800
Speaker 1: with us at stinks. That does stink. So it was

1008
00:57:03,800 --> 00:57:05,880
Speaker 1: good to talk to Neil. He did have a column

1009
00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:09,760
Speaker 1: in which he put together Steve his divisional round power rankings.

1010
00:57:09,760 --> 00:57:12,879
Speaker 1: Did you see this? I did, So I'll start from

1011
00:57:12,880 --> 00:57:16,000
Speaker 1: the bottom and go to the top. Number eight, he

1012
00:57:16,080 --> 00:57:20,040
Speaker 1: had the New York Giants, number seven. He had the

1013
00:57:20,120 --> 00:57:30,919
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars six, the Dallas Cowboys five, the Philadelphia Eagles five. Wow. Wow,

1014
00:57:31,240 --> 00:57:41,000
Speaker 1: nobody's done that. No. Four, Cincinnati, three, Buffalo two, Kansas

1015
00:57:41,040 --> 00:57:44,320
Speaker 1: City and checking in at number one for Neil Reynolds

1016
00:57:44,400 --> 00:57:49,800
Speaker 1: the San Francisco forty nine ers. So there you go.

1017
00:57:51,440 --> 00:57:53,640
Speaker 1: I was surprised he had the Eagles at five. I

1018
00:57:53,680 --> 00:57:57,000
Speaker 1: think they're pretty good all around roster top to bottom.

1019
00:57:57,600 --> 00:58:02,080
Speaker 1: Not a ton of playoff experience, but you know, they

1020
00:58:02,120 --> 00:58:03,680
Speaker 1: got some vets on there that are still from that

1021
00:58:03,760 --> 00:58:07,800
Speaker 1: Super Bowl team back in seventeen, So that's not that's

1022
00:58:07,840 --> 00:58:10,800
Speaker 1: not lost on me. But five, that was That was

1023
00:58:10,800 --> 00:58:15,480
Speaker 1: a surprising one. Yeah. Yeah, Philly is a well rounded

1024
00:58:15,800 --> 00:58:22,600
Speaker 1: pass rush. Seventy sacks this year, seventy that's hard to

1025
00:58:22,640 --> 00:58:27,640
Speaker 1: game plan for right there. That's a number, fat number God,

1026
00:58:27,800 --> 00:58:32,720
Speaker 1: Lijia Williker. Seventy sacks. It's tied for third most in

1027
00:58:32,880 --> 00:58:36,200
Speaker 1: NFL history in a single season with the eighty seven Bears.

1028
00:58:36,880 --> 00:58:40,240
Speaker 1: The eighty four Bears are the record holder with seventy two,

1029
00:58:41,080 --> 00:58:43,040
Speaker 1: and then I think the eighty five Bears might be

1030
00:58:43,200 --> 00:58:48,600
Speaker 1: second in sacks um. But man, is that a lot

1031
00:58:48,640 --> 00:58:54,240
Speaker 1: of sacks. Seventy It's been a while since that's happened,

1032
00:58:54,440 --> 00:58:57,720
Speaker 1: So that was impressive. Um, you know, and then they

1033
00:58:57,800 --> 00:59:01,480
Speaker 1: got no Davante Smith and aj Brown on the outside.

1034
00:59:01,480 --> 00:59:03,680
Speaker 1: They've got Miles Sanders who can run the ball. Obviously,

1035
00:59:03,760 --> 00:59:07,160
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts runs it around. I guess people are on

1036
00:59:07,240 --> 00:59:09,960
Speaker 1: the NFC side of things. They're concerned about Jalen Hurts

1037
00:59:10,400 --> 00:59:13,120
Speaker 1: injured throwing shoulder because all it's gonna take is one

1038
00:59:13,200 --> 00:59:17,840
Speaker 1: knock and then you could have a problem. Yeah, and

1039
00:59:17,840 --> 00:59:23,920
Speaker 1: then it's the Gardner Minshew Show, which has its detractors. Well,

1040
00:59:23,960 --> 00:59:26,120
Speaker 1: I mean that's the way it is for every team.

1041
00:59:28,160 --> 00:59:29,840
Speaker 1: That's the way it is for every team. But you

1042
00:59:29,920 --> 00:59:35,919
Speaker 1: don't know, you know, because he's fragile, has been hurt.

1043
00:59:35,920 --> 00:59:37,320
Speaker 1: You don't know how good he's gonna come back and

1044
00:59:37,320 --> 00:59:39,080
Speaker 1: how sturdy he is once he does come back. The

1045
00:59:39,160 --> 00:59:41,200
Speaker 1: same thing he said for all of these teams. You know,

1046
00:59:41,280 --> 00:59:43,320
Speaker 1: case Keenom is gonna win the Super Bowl? For the Bills,

1047
00:59:44,480 --> 00:59:48,200
Speaker 1: probably not. You know, same thing in Cincinnati, same you know,

1048
00:59:48,280 --> 00:59:53,920
Speaker 1: same thing in San Francisco. Who's behind Brock Purdy was

1049
00:59:53,960 --> 00:59:56,960
Speaker 1: the bottom rung of the ladder. Josh Johnson is your

1050
00:59:57,000 --> 00:59:59,960
Speaker 1: backup quarterback in San Francisco. He of the fifteen different

1051
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:02,840
Speaker 1: Pro football teams that would be correct wowsers, Well, you know,

1052
01:00:03,240 --> 01:00:09,040
Speaker 1: there you go. Is Henny still behind Pat Mahomes Chad Henny.

1053
01:00:10,080 --> 01:00:12,960
Speaker 1: I will have to double check. I am not on that.

1054
01:00:13,600 --> 01:00:15,800
Speaker 1: I'm not either. I'll take a look for you. I'm

1055
01:00:15,840 --> 01:00:20,480
Speaker 1: gonna find out here. But yeah, it's it's unbelievable. What

1056
01:00:20,520 --> 01:00:22,240
Speaker 1: would happen, if any, to these of these teams. So

1057
01:00:22,240 --> 01:00:24,440
Speaker 1: you can't really go in thinking that. And I get it.

1058
01:00:24,440 --> 01:00:29,240
Speaker 1: I'm Brock Purdy is the story of the playoffs because

1059
01:00:29,280 --> 01:00:35,000
Speaker 1: of it is Chad Henney. Yeah, yeah, it is. So

1060
01:00:36,800 --> 01:00:39,919
Speaker 1: that guy. He's got a hell of a fourth down

1061
01:00:39,960 --> 01:00:42,400
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. Brown. He's as old as you,

1062
01:00:43,480 --> 01:00:48,600
Speaker 1: ain't as old as me probably could be. So if

1063
01:00:48,600 --> 01:00:51,400
Speaker 1: anything happens to these guys, think of and I look

1064
01:00:51,400 --> 01:00:53,640
Speaker 1: at the NFC. In the AFC and the difference between

1065
01:00:53,640 --> 01:01:00,360
Speaker 1: these quarterbacks, You've got Lawrence Mahomes, Alan and Burrow. In

1066
01:01:00,440 --> 01:01:05,600
Speaker 1: the NFC, it's Daniel Jones, Daniel Jones, Brilon, Hurts, Jail Hurds,

1067
01:01:05,640 --> 01:01:10,520
Speaker 1: Brock Purdy, dare Dak Prescott. Which one of those, if any,

1068
01:01:12,120 --> 01:01:14,160
Speaker 1: would be ranked in the top four of all eight

1069
01:01:16,440 --> 01:01:19,720
Speaker 1: in the NFC? I mean no, in the in the playoffs,

1070
01:01:19,800 --> 01:01:22,240
Speaker 1: lay in the bracket left the eight teams left. Oh,

1071
01:01:22,320 --> 01:01:25,760
Speaker 1: the top four quarterbacks are all in the AFC, including

1072
01:01:25,920 --> 01:01:29,439
Speaker 1: including Trevor Lawrence over Dak Prescott. I would okay, yeah,

1073
01:01:29,680 --> 01:01:33,440
Speaker 1: I would too. We knew it coming into this season.

1074
01:01:33,480 --> 01:01:34,960
Speaker 1: We looked at the look at the roster. Now we

1075
01:01:35,000 --> 01:01:37,600
Speaker 1: didn't know Matt Ryan and Russell Wilson. We're gonna you know,

1076
01:01:38,800 --> 01:01:42,640
Speaker 1: melt for lack of a better way to put it,

1077
01:01:42,760 --> 01:01:47,120
Speaker 1: it happened. But Justin Herbert was right there. Ye, Lamar's

1078
01:01:47,160 --> 01:01:51,280
Speaker 1: team was there, although he was not correct. Yeah, the

1079
01:01:51,360 --> 01:01:55,000
Speaker 1: oldest quarterback in the playoffs right now is Dak Prescott,

1080
01:01:55,080 --> 01:02:00,920
Speaker 1: twenty nine. It's the oldest guy. That's pretty amazing. That's

1081
01:02:00,960 --> 01:02:05,040
Speaker 1: pretty amazing. Good, Yeah, hey good. Everybody else is twenty

1082
01:02:05,080 --> 01:02:07,520
Speaker 1: seven and under. And yeah, and even in the you know,

1083
01:02:07,560 --> 01:02:10,520
Speaker 1: if Miami's foot quarterback was healthy, I mean it's you're

1084
01:02:10,520 --> 01:02:12,600
Speaker 1: looking at you know, Skyler Thompson, but it was Tuah

1085
01:02:13,560 --> 01:02:15,400
Speaker 1: and then the rest of those guys we've already talked

1086
01:02:15,400 --> 01:02:19,440
Speaker 1: about Mahomes, Alan Burrow and Lawrence. And then you go

1087
01:02:19,480 --> 01:02:23,680
Speaker 1: to the NFC, it's Jalen Hurts, who actually you know

1088
01:02:23,800 --> 01:02:26,440
Speaker 1: he's the guy. I mean, you think Jalen Hurt's going

1089
01:02:26,480 --> 01:02:31,440
Speaker 1: to be there ten years um and I think the

1090
01:02:31,560 --> 01:02:36,320
Speaker 1: only thing that would keep that from happening contract contract

1091
01:02:36,560 --> 01:02:41,720
Speaker 1: and or injury. I worry about his durability, as we've

1092
01:02:41,760 --> 01:02:44,160
Speaker 1: already seen. If he's going to continue to run it

1093
01:02:44,280 --> 01:02:47,040
Speaker 1: that much, durability is a concern for me. He is

1094
01:02:47,080 --> 01:02:50,240
Speaker 1: not a big man, so you've got barely six one,

1095
01:02:52,200 --> 01:02:56,120
Speaker 1: and he's not big framed. I mean he's not bryce young,

1096
01:02:57,080 --> 01:03:00,320
Speaker 1: but he's not a big guy. So you've got Hurts

1097
01:03:00,920 --> 01:03:04,240
Speaker 1: brock Purdy. Then of course Kirk Cousins, who's out of

1098
01:03:04,280 --> 01:03:06,800
Speaker 1: the playoffs already, and then the forty five year old

1099
01:03:06,920 --> 01:03:12,560
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, Tom Brady at forty five, Dak Prescott, Daniel Jones,

1100
01:03:12,640 --> 01:03:19,960
Speaker 1: and Gino. I love it, Gino baby, the comeback hit.

1101
01:03:20,040 --> 01:03:21,520
Speaker 1: He might get a comeback Player of the Year this

1102
01:03:21,640 --> 01:03:24,960
Speaker 1: year if you're a free agent, right, Yeah, I think

1103
01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:28,760
Speaker 1: it's he don't know, it wasn't injured. I think it's

1104
01:03:28,760 --> 01:03:32,040
Speaker 1: got to be maybe McCaffrey because he was injured. Gino

1105
01:03:32,200 --> 01:03:34,960
Speaker 1: was just wasn't good enough. He was just on the shelf. Yeah,

1106
01:03:35,120 --> 01:03:37,480
Speaker 1: he wasn't good enough to get on the field. How

1107
01:03:37,600 --> 01:03:43,760
Speaker 1: is that coming back coming back to play? Right? He

1108
01:03:43,880 --> 01:03:46,240
Speaker 1: still hasn't recovered from his broken jaw eight years ago.

1109
01:03:46,560 --> 01:03:52,280
Speaker 1: That team with him, Um, that's if you're if you're

1110
01:03:52,280 --> 01:03:56,040
Speaker 1: a free agent. I mean you got Aaron Rodgers finished

1111
01:03:56,240 --> 01:04:00,479
Speaker 1: tenth in the NFC this year, the Green Bay Packers tenth. Yeah,

1112
01:04:00,880 --> 01:04:03,200
Speaker 1: they were the ten seed. They stripped too much of

1113
01:04:03,240 --> 01:04:09,240
Speaker 1: it away. That's the problem. That was the problem they had. Yeah,

1114
01:04:09,800 --> 01:04:11,960
Speaker 1: it's a different era. Man. It's all about the young

1115
01:04:12,080 --> 01:04:15,720
Speaker 1: quarterbacks now. There's no oldies and they're all they're all

1116
01:04:15,800 --> 01:04:17,480
Speaker 1: in the AFC. If you're a free age, I mean,

1117
01:04:18,040 --> 01:04:21,080
Speaker 1: doesn't that attract like the say, for instance, you got

1118
01:04:21,080 --> 01:04:23,120
Speaker 1: these guys who are free agents whoever they are, big

1119
01:04:23,240 --> 01:04:26,240
Speaker 1: time wideouts. Isn't the a f C where you're gonna

1120
01:04:26,240 --> 01:04:29,320
Speaker 1: be if you want your numbers to look at right,

1121
01:04:29,360 --> 01:04:36,200
Speaker 1: You're not gonna go over and play in Carolina, New Orleans, Atlanta, Chicago,

1122
01:04:36,360 --> 01:04:40,360
Speaker 1: even with Fields, I mean maybe I don't know, he

1123
01:04:40,440 --> 01:04:45,200
Speaker 1: didn't throw it well, Washington and I get it too.

1124
01:04:45,240 --> 01:04:49,040
Speaker 1: I mean all these other teams like Houston, Indianapolis, Vegas,

1125
01:04:49,440 --> 01:04:56,000
Speaker 1: you know who's gonna play there, Cleveland, Tennessee, and then

1126
01:04:56,040 --> 01:04:59,440
Speaker 1: the Jets, New England, Pittsburgh, all those I mean New England,

1127
01:04:59,600 --> 01:05:03,200
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh is going to get better. Yes they will, They'll

1128
01:05:03,200 --> 01:05:06,320
Speaker 1: be better. Yes year. We're asking you today, what's your

1129
01:05:06,400 --> 01:05:08,720
Speaker 1: key to a Bill's playoff win over the Bengals. You

1130
01:05:08,720 --> 01:05:10,720
Speaker 1: can let us know. At eighth three, five fifty one,

1131
01:05:10,840 --> 01:05:13,920
Speaker 1: eight fifty two, five fifty we go to the phones

1132
01:05:14,040 --> 01:05:16,560
Speaker 1: and to Bill in cheek to Wagan. Next we got

1133
01:05:16,600 --> 01:05:21,600
Speaker 1: for his bill. Hey, how are you doing, guys? Good?

1134
01:05:22,080 --> 01:05:26,120
Speaker 1: Can a little story about Eric Moles? Here's a goal.

1135
01:05:26,160 --> 01:05:30,640
Speaker 1: When he was playing, he was at the bank that

1136
01:05:30,760 --> 01:05:32,880
Speaker 1: I was doing my bank and what there was a

1137
01:05:32,920 --> 01:05:36,480
Speaker 1: little feller in the foyer selling candy bars fir peewee

1138
01:05:36,560 --> 01:05:39,800
Speaker 1: football team, And as we were leaving together, he stopped

1139
01:05:39,840 --> 01:05:41,640
Speaker 1: and talked to the kids for a minute, ask him

1140
01:05:42,160 --> 01:05:44,360
Speaker 1: what the name of his team was, what position he played,

1141
01:05:44,960 --> 01:05:48,440
Speaker 1: and took a couple of candy bars out of the

1142
01:05:48,520 --> 01:05:51,160
Speaker 1: box and handed that a little seller one hundred dollars

1143
01:05:51,360 --> 01:05:55,360
Speaker 1: bill and said he was Eric Moles and his way

1144
01:05:55,440 --> 01:05:58,520
Speaker 1: he went, And I'll tell you and only was he

1145
01:05:58,640 --> 01:06:01,240
Speaker 1: a good football player, he was a good man. Also.

1146
01:06:01,520 --> 01:06:05,160
Speaker 1: Just a nice little story for you. Appreciate thanks, thanks

1147
01:06:05,200 --> 01:06:08,200
Speaker 1: for sharing it. Yeah, Eric was a good dude. He

1148
01:06:08,360 --> 01:06:12,360
Speaker 1: was a good dude for sure. Um. He was as

1149
01:06:12,400 --> 01:06:14,440
Speaker 1: serious as a heart attack on a football field, though.

1150
01:06:14,840 --> 01:06:17,840
Speaker 1: Man he was. He was one of the few wide

1151
01:06:17,920 --> 01:06:20,440
Speaker 1: receivers you see other guys like Steve Smith was a

1152
01:06:20,520 --> 01:06:23,080
Speaker 1: little bit like this, although Eric was much more. Steve

1153
01:06:23,160 --> 01:06:25,960
Speaker 1: Smith was an angry elf. Yes he was angry. Um,

1154
01:06:26,360 --> 01:06:31,680
Speaker 1: Eric wasn't angry. He was. I don't know. He was

1155
01:06:31,760 --> 01:06:36,120
Speaker 1: just he was just totally he was just he was

1156
01:06:36,200 --> 01:06:40,680
Speaker 1: big and bad man, Yeah he was. He was an intimidator. Um,

1157
01:06:41,200 --> 01:06:45,880
Speaker 1: he wasn't bluster and he could really play. He was

1158
01:06:45,960 --> 01:06:51,560
Speaker 1: a big That guy was like a big wide receiver.

1159
01:06:51,720 --> 01:06:54,400
Speaker 1: One man. He was. He was all that. He was

1160
01:06:54,440 --> 01:06:57,880
Speaker 1: a great player, truly a great player. Certainly was the

1161
01:06:58,040 --> 01:07:02,240
Speaker 1: shame of his career. Finished five yards short of ten

1162
01:07:02,400 --> 01:07:06,960
Speaker 1: thousand receiving yards for his career, nine thousand, nine hundred

1163
01:07:07,600 --> 01:07:12,720
Speaker 1: ninety five receiving yards. That would bother me. That would

1164
01:07:12,800 --> 01:07:16,320
Speaker 1: bother me. Can't catch one pass for five yards? Help

1165
01:07:16,400 --> 01:07:18,320
Speaker 1: a man out, you know what I mean. Sign me

1166
01:07:18,400 --> 01:07:21,960
Speaker 1: for a week. Let me just catch a pass and

1167
01:07:22,080 --> 01:07:26,320
Speaker 1: then I'll walk right out after that, I promise. Some

1168
01:07:26,560 --> 01:07:31,160
Speaker 1: coaching news, offensive coordinator candidates are being interviewed in New

1169
01:07:31,200 --> 01:07:35,720
Speaker 1: England and the Patriots have reportedly this. According to NFL

1170
01:07:35,760 --> 01:07:41,200
Speaker 1: Network's Ian Rappaport interviewed Alabama offensive coordinator Bill O'Brien today

1171
01:07:41,280 --> 01:07:44,840
Speaker 1: for their vacant OC job. He had been there serving

1172
01:07:44,920 --> 01:07:47,960
Speaker 1: as that as the team's offensive coordinator in the past.

1173
01:07:48,400 --> 01:07:50,840
Speaker 1: In his first stop through New England. Does he go

1174
01:07:50,960 --> 01:07:54,160
Speaker 1: back for a second stint. We'll wait and see. Apparently

1175
01:07:54,440 --> 01:07:58,520
Speaker 1: they are also going to interview Vikings wide receivers coach

1176
01:07:58,600 --> 01:08:02,080
Speaker 1: Keenan McCardell for the offensive coordinator job. That's going to

1177
01:08:02,200 --> 01:08:06,040
Speaker 1: happen on Thursday, and it sounds as though that's going

1178
01:08:06,120 --> 01:08:09,760
Speaker 1: to be their last interview for that post. So a

1179
01:08:09,880 --> 01:08:14,320
Speaker 1: decision might be done by the weekend. If you're laying odds,

1180
01:08:14,320 --> 01:08:18,040
Speaker 1: you're on O'Brien, right, that's what they do. Bring back

1181
01:08:18,120 --> 01:08:25,439
Speaker 1: the retreads. Yes, nobody else. I hate myself for muting mine. Yeah,

1182
01:08:25,520 --> 01:08:28,840
Speaker 1: nobody else is inside their circle of trust. You know,

1183
01:08:30,640 --> 01:08:33,880
Speaker 1: you know how I feel about them. That's why I asked.

1184
01:08:35,439 --> 01:08:38,880
Speaker 1: They can't let that. They can't let anybody who doesn't

1185
01:08:38,920 --> 01:08:42,040
Speaker 1: know how they do business back inside the building. Yeah.

1186
01:08:42,200 --> 01:08:46,240
Speaker 1: So we heard that Byron Leftwich was probably going to

1187
01:08:46,320 --> 01:08:49,320
Speaker 1: be let go by the Bucks as offensive coordinator. That

1188
01:08:49,520 --> 01:08:53,960
Speaker 1: has happened. They have also canned eight other assistants, so

1189
01:08:54,200 --> 01:08:57,360
Speaker 1: Todd Bowles, who took over as head coach late in

1190
01:08:57,439 --> 01:09:02,599
Speaker 1: the game last year, when in a strange, weird move,

1191
01:09:02,680 --> 01:09:05,599
Speaker 1: Bruce Arians stepped out of the coach's box and went

1192
01:09:05,680 --> 01:09:09,519
Speaker 1: upstairs as a consultant in the off season. Some believe

1193
01:09:09,600 --> 01:09:14,519
Speaker 1: that happened to get Brady back. Right, whether that's right, wrong,

1194
01:09:14,640 --> 01:09:18,320
Speaker 1: or indifferent, Now, Bulls is going to get a chance

1195
01:09:18,360 --> 01:09:21,080
Speaker 1: to really kind of shape his coaching staff. He inherited

1196
01:09:21,160 --> 01:09:24,360
Speaker 1: that coaching staff. Now he fires the OC along with

1197
01:09:24,400 --> 01:09:26,960
Speaker 1: eight other assistants. He's got some hiring to do now,

1198
01:09:27,000 --> 01:09:30,840
Speaker 1: and he's gonna be able to hire his own people. Yeah,

1199
01:09:30,920 --> 01:09:34,160
Speaker 1: that's interesting and that do you think that's also a

1200
01:09:34,320 --> 01:09:40,800
Speaker 1: concession to Brady's wishes? I suppose it's possible. But to me,

1201
01:09:41,000 --> 01:09:43,920
Speaker 1: I think that's more about Bulls because I think about it.

1202
01:09:44,479 --> 01:09:47,839
Speaker 1: Bulls had to pick up the baton in the eleventh

1203
01:09:48,320 --> 01:09:51,679
Speaker 1: that March. He got he got named to the post

1204
01:09:51,760 --> 01:09:56,200
Speaker 1: in March. No, it was was it before after Brady

1205
01:09:56,240 --> 01:10:01,160
Speaker 1: came back, because Brady was hired for forty days. Right.

1206
01:10:01,240 --> 01:10:03,520
Speaker 1: They got knocked down in the playoffs in mid January.

1207
01:10:03,960 --> 01:10:06,880
Speaker 1: He's retired for forty days. I want to say that

1208
01:10:07,000 --> 01:10:09,920
Speaker 1: Todd Bowles was named the head coach after they kicked

1209
01:10:09,920 --> 01:10:12,040
Speaker 1: the arians upstairs, and I want to say that was

1210
01:10:12,120 --> 01:10:17,559
Speaker 1: like early March, like late February. I could be wrong

1211
01:10:17,640 --> 01:10:20,519
Speaker 1: on the dates, but he didn't have time to assemble

1212
01:10:20,600 --> 01:10:22,760
Speaker 1: his staff. It was too late. Oh yeah, everybody that

1213
01:10:22,920 --> 01:10:25,360
Speaker 1: was worth anything was hired already, so he had to

1214
01:10:25,479 --> 01:10:27,200
Speaker 1: go with the guys he had. It might have been

1215
01:10:27,280 --> 01:10:29,000
Speaker 1: that they said, hey, you got to keep the staff

1216
01:10:29,200 --> 01:10:32,920
Speaker 1: intact for continuity's sake and let's go forward. But yeah,

1217
01:10:33,280 --> 01:10:35,720
Speaker 1: that's changing now, and maybe that's a little bit of

1218
01:10:35,800 --> 01:10:40,080
Speaker 1: a reaction to how the season went. Certainly offensively, they

1219
01:10:40,120 --> 01:10:43,160
Speaker 1: were nothing to write home about. They couldn't they didn't

1220
01:10:43,200 --> 01:10:45,439
Speaker 1: run the ball and they couldn't run the ball at all,

1221
01:10:45,560 --> 01:10:47,320
Speaker 1: and so they just stopped trying alf the time. Yeah,

1222
01:10:47,320 --> 01:10:50,000
Speaker 1: they didn't even try to. That's why I think Brady

1223
01:10:50,080 --> 01:10:52,200
Speaker 1: led the league in pass attempts or it was either

1224
01:10:52,280 --> 01:10:53,960
Speaker 1: him or mahaw No. He did, and I think he

1225
01:10:54,040 --> 01:10:56,840
Speaker 1: said a record. I know he broke his own personal

1226
01:10:56,920 --> 01:11:03,120
Speaker 1: record of like six hundred attempts for the man who

1227
01:11:03,439 --> 01:11:06,519
Speaker 1: it was crazy. The cults have announced they just finished

1228
01:11:06,600 --> 01:11:10,920
Speaker 1: interviewing interim head coach Jeff Saturday for the full time

1229
01:11:11,000 --> 01:11:15,439
Speaker 1: head coaching position, so they continue to interview candidates there.

1230
01:11:16,840 --> 01:11:21,800
Speaker 1: I wonder when that wheel will stop. May not matter, Yeah,

1231
01:11:23,400 --> 01:11:26,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. They just seem all out of whack.

1232
01:11:26,560 --> 01:11:29,080
Speaker 1: They obviously need a quarterback. They have to get a

1233
01:11:29,120 --> 01:11:36,720
Speaker 1: head coach. I don't know. I really don't like you

1234
01:11:36,880 --> 01:11:39,599
Speaker 1: had like a feeling that with Chris Ballard and Frank

1235
01:11:39,680 --> 01:11:42,360
Speaker 1: Reich there was some sense of stability there, even if

1236
01:11:42,400 --> 01:11:45,080
Speaker 1: you didn't have it at the ownership level. And then

1237
01:11:46,080 --> 01:11:49,080
Speaker 1: Frank gets kicked to the curb. Ballard's going to stay,

1238
01:11:49,640 --> 01:11:52,840
Speaker 1: and now they're still interviewing head coaching candidates. They don't

1239
01:11:52,880 --> 01:11:58,080
Speaker 1: have a quarterback. I don't know. They got to make

1240
01:11:58,080 --> 01:11:59,559
Speaker 1: a move. They gotta get a They have to get

1241
01:11:59,560 --> 01:12:02,439
Speaker 1: a quarterback in the draft. They have to. They can't

1242
01:12:02,520 --> 01:12:05,880
Speaker 1: keep going down the veteran retread route like they did

1243
01:12:05,960 --> 01:12:08,720
Speaker 1: the last five years in a row at quarterback. Well,

1244
01:12:08,760 --> 01:12:13,040
Speaker 1: they're gonna do it. Well, they're gonna do that anyway.

1245
01:12:13,080 --> 01:12:15,120
Speaker 1: They're gonna bring a guy in. They're gonna draft a

1246
01:12:15,160 --> 01:12:18,599
Speaker 1: guy and bring a guy in. If I'm always I've

1247
01:12:18,600 --> 01:12:21,599
Speaker 1: always been a proponent and a fan of the John

1248
01:12:21,680 --> 01:12:26,040
Speaker 1: Elway school of finding a quarterback. Draft one every year,

1249
01:12:26,320 --> 01:12:28,640
Speaker 1: sign a bunch every year, and sift through him and

1250
01:12:28,680 --> 01:12:30,360
Speaker 1: find the best guy. And if he's not the guy,

1251
01:12:30,439 --> 01:12:32,160
Speaker 1: you do the same thing again next year with five

1252
01:12:32,240 --> 01:12:34,559
Speaker 1: completely different guys. You don't keep a guy around who

1253
01:12:34,600 --> 01:12:38,439
Speaker 1: can't play for any length of time. Elway knew what

1254
01:12:38,520 --> 01:12:41,240
Speaker 1: he was looking at. He played the position, was coached

1255
01:12:41,280 --> 01:12:44,080
Speaker 1: by a number of different guys, won the Super Bowl twice,

1256
01:12:45,800 --> 01:12:48,400
Speaker 1: brought Peyton Manning in, got he knows what he looked like.

1257
01:12:48,600 --> 01:12:50,720
Speaker 1: What they did with Peyton Manning, especially at the end

1258
01:12:50,760 --> 01:12:52,760
Speaker 1: where they sat him for five or six weeks, get

1259
01:12:52,840 --> 01:12:54,599
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, and then let him finish his career

1260
01:12:54,680 --> 01:12:57,880
Speaker 1: with a with a win. All of that stuff. That's

1261
01:12:57,920 --> 01:13:01,679
Speaker 1: the way you find a quarterback. You cast a wide net,

1262
01:13:03,040 --> 01:13:05,000
Speaker 1: I mean a wide net, and you give up what

1263
01:13:05,080 --> 01:13:06,680
Speaker 1: it takes to get one. Now, this last thing, I

1264
01:13:06,720 --> 01:13:10,240
Speaker 1: don't always not involved anymore. And they traded the farm

1265
01:13:11,000 --> 01:13:13,720
Speaker 1: for Russell Wilson. I wonder what Elway thought about that

1266
01:13:13,800 --> 01:13:16,800
Speaker 1: before it happened. Certainly now it's like easy to say,

1267
01:13:17,200 --> 01:13:20,560
Speaker 1: but I don't think he would have gone for that.

1268
01:13:23,080 --> 01:13:25,000
Speaker 1: But what do I know. Maybe it was his idea

1269
01:13:25,040 --> 01:13:26,360
Speaker 1: in the beginning. I don't know. Maybe he had been

1270
01:13:26,439 --> 01:13:28,320
Speaker 1: talking about it. I don't know. All I'm saying is

1271
01:13:28,640 --> 01:13:30,720
Speaker 1: I'm a big fan of what John Elway did with

1272
01:13:30,800 --> 01:13:32,360
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks in Denver. And you say, well, they never

1273
01:13:32,400 --> 01:13:33,960
Speaker 1: found Yeah, they never found one. It wasn't from the

1274
01:13:34,040 --> 01:13:37,880
Speaker 1: lack of trying. They brought everybody in. They traded for

1275
01:13:38,080 --> 01:13:41,640
Speaker 1: traded bad guys for better guys, sifted through that, and

1276
01:13:41,720 --> 01:13:45,240
Speaker 1: that's what happens. You know what we were, this franchise

1277
01:13:45,400 --> 01:13:48,439
Speaker 1: was there, The Bills were there for decade and a

1278
01:13:48,560 --> 01:13:53,479
Speaker 1: half looking for a guy, drafting him free agents. If

1279
01:13:53,520 --> 01:13:58,120
Speaker 1: you don't have the quarterback, everybody you can't move. You

1280
01:13:58,240 --> 01:14:01,479
Speaker 1: can't move ahead. If if you don't have that guy,

1281
01:14:01,600 --> 01:14:05,519
Speaker 1: you can't move. Your franchise is stuck until you get it.

1282
01:14:06,280 --> 01:14:08,280
Speaker 1: And that's where Indianapolis has found them solve. Now they

1283
01:14:09,280 --> 01:14:12,280
Speaker 1: to their credit, they've got signed a pretty good veteran guy.

1284
01:14:12,439 --> 01:14:15,519
Speaker 1: But they think about it. They went from the playoffs

1285
01:14:15,560 --> 01:14:17,640
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers and the playoffs, well, at first it was

1286
01:14:18,160 --> 01:14:22,680
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck, then it was Jacoby Brissett by default. Then

1287
01:14:22,760 --> 01:14:26,960
Speaker 1: they went Philip Rivers playoffs. Hey that's pretty good. Then

1288
01:14:27,040 --> 01:14:31,519
Speaker 1: after that it was somebody Carson Wentz who injured and

1289
01:14:31,840 --> 01:14:33,439
Speaker 1: had a bad game at the end of the year

1290
01:14:33,520 --> 01:14:36,160
Speaker 1: in the to get in. He had a bad play,

1291
01:14:36,600 --> 01:14:40,080
Speaker 1: a bad game, three interceptions, and the owner blew his

1292
01:14:40,200 --> 01:14:44,919
Speaker 1: top and fired him. Okay, right, so right, So instead

1293
01:14:44,920 --> 01:14:47,400
Speaker 1: of having a play and in playoff game, you get

1294
01:14:47,479 --> 01:14:50,519
Speaker 1: rid of the guy and you step take a step back.

1295
01:14:50,600 --> 01:14:55,120
Speaker 1: Now you get Matt Ryan who is done. Yeah, and

1296
01:14:55,240 --> 01:14:58,600
Speaker 1: the rest of your and your offensive line stinks, so

1297
01:14:58,800 --> 01:15:01,479
Speaker 1: now you really can't play. And now here they are.

1298
01:15:01,680 --> 01:15:05,240
Speaker 1: They're fifteenth in the AFC, two years after being a

1299
01:15:05,320 --> 01:15:09,439
Speaker 1: team nobody wanted to face. There is a Bengals practice

1300
01:15:09,560 --> 01:15:12,640
Speaker 1: update that we have for you. According to reporters in Cincinnati,

1301
01:15:13,479 --> 01:15:17,840
Speaker 1: no Jonah Williams, no Alex Kappa at practice for the

1302
01:15:17,960 --> 01:15:20,600
Speaker 1: second straight day, so they're two starting offensive line in

1303
01:15:20,640 --> 01:15:23,360
Speaker 1: the left tackle on the right guard. Not practicing again

1304
01:15:23,520 --> 01:15:27,679
Speaker 1: here on Thursday for Cincinnati. We will take a break

1305
01:15:27,760 --> 01:15:29,680
Speaker 1: here when we come back, we'll get some of your

1306
01:15:29,720 --> 01:15:32,040
Speaker 1: thoughts on the tweet sheet as far as what you

1307
01:15:32,160 --> 01:15:34,439
Speaker 1: believe is your key to a Bill's playoff win over

1308
01:15:34,479 --> 01:15:38,679
Speaker 1: the Bengals, and in studio are fresh off the field.

1309
01:15:38,800 --> 01:15:42,120
Speaker 1: Interview of the Week, it's niheim Hines. He'll be in

1310
01:15:42,160 --> 01:15:47,280
Speaker 1: studio next year on One Bill's Live. All right, welcome

1311
01:15:47,320 --> 01:15:49,600
Speaker 1: back to One Bill's Live. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with

1312
01:15:49,720 --> 01:15:52,639
Speaker 1: you and join in studio now, fresh off the field,

1313
01:15:52,680 --> 01:15:57,439
Speaker 1: it's niheim Hines. After another practice today. All right, nahem,

1314
01:15:57,479 --> 01:15:59,200
Speaker 1: it's been about half a season. Do you kind of

1315
01:15:59,240 --> 01:16:02,360
Speaker 1: feel settled in now or do you have you know,

1316
01:16:02,439 --> 01:16:05,400
Speaker 1: there's always that catch up and acclamation period. But I know,

1317
01:16:05,600 --> 01:16:07,320
Speaker 1: like these guys in this locker room, they put their

1318
01:16:07,400 --> 01:16:09,800
Speaker 1: arms around anybody that's new. I'm sure it was no

1319
01:16:09,920 --> 01:16:13,560
Speaker 1: different for you. Do you feel settled comfortable? I do.

1320
01:16:13,720 --> 01:16:16,920
Speaker 1: I do feel settled. I joke around a lot more today.

1321
01:16:16,920 --> 01:16:18,760
Speaker 1: I'm not well, not today, but I joke around a

1322
01:16:18,800 --> 01:16:20,479
Speaker 1: lot more because you know, I don't have to focus

1323
01:16:20,560 --> 01:16:23,040
Speaker 1: on the plays. Is hard. So I hear the plays

1324
01:16:23,080 --> 01:16:25,280
Speaker 1: every day in the meetings and stuff, and they don't

1325
01:16:25,320 --> 01:16:28,040
Speaker 1: sound like another foreign language to me. So I've been

1326
01:16:28,080 --> 01:16:29,960
Speaker 1: adjusting well. And those guys like you said to put

1327
01:16:30,000 --> 01:16:31,960
Speaker 1: their arms around me and welcome me. So I'm very

1328
01:16:32,120 --> 01:16:35,120
Speaker 1: very welcome, dear. And you've also you're getting a handful

1329
01:16:35,320 --> 01:16:37,880
Speaker 1: of snaps every game on offense, but you're taking all

1330
01:16:37,880 --> 01:16:41,360
Speaker 1: the kick returns and the punt returns. How's that mix going?

1331
01:16:42,479 --> 01:16:44,400
Speaker 1: When I returned kicks, I said, don't make me cover.

1332
01:16:44,560 --> 01:16:47,519
Speaker 1: I mean, just give me less to do because the

1333
01:16:47,600 --> 01:16:49,360
Speaker 1: whole team can be playing great and I could really

1334
01:16:49,400 --> 01:16:52,240
Speaker 1: screw it up, right, you know, right? Yeah, And that's

1335
01:16:52,360 --> 01:16:55,960
Speaker 1: that's that mix. Um, it's it's great. I think. The

1336
01:16:56,120 --> 01:16:58,800
Speaker 1: first thing is my teammates, those guys believing in me

1337
01:16:58,880 --> 01:17:01,200
Speaker 1: since my first day, and guys like Serrand Neil, you know,

1338
01:17:01,280 --> 01:17:04,600
Speaker 1: Tyler Madakevich, Taiwan Jones, those guys and those leaders on

1339
01:17:04,680 --> 01:17:07,160
Speaker 1: special teams have really had my back, so they made

1340
01:17:07,200 --> 01:17:10,200
Speaker 1: it really really easy for me to be back there.

1341
01:17:10,240 --> 01:17:12,120
Speaker 1: And then coach Smiley has been great. But like I said,

1342
01:17:12,160 --> 01:17:14,720
Speaker 1: it's just those guys believing in me, and like how

1343
01:17:14,760 --> 01:17:16,000
Speaker 1: you said, we can really screw up a game, we

1344
01:17:16,000 --> 01:17:17,320
Speaker 1: can really win a game too, and that's how we

1345
01:17:17,400 --> 01:17:19,120
Speaker 1: look at it, and that's what my goal is. To

1346
01:17:19,160 --> 01:17:20,800
Speaker 1: go back there and make sure the offense possesses the

1347
01:17:20,840 --> 01:17:24,320
Speaker 1: ball and do what I do after that. Against Miami

1348
01:17:24,560 --> 01:17:27,519
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago, or sorry, the Patriots a

1349
01:17:27,560 --> 01:17:31,040
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, did you when you're in there

1350
01:17:31,120 --> 01:17:32,720
Speaker 1: when you run through the back of the end zone

1351
01:17:32,720 --> 01:17:35,640
Speaker 1: on the opening kick, did you have full plans to

1352
01:17:35,760 --> 01:17:39,320
Speaker 1: jump into the stands or was that just very organic,

1353
01:17:39,600 --> 01:17:43,719
Speaker 1: natural and just spur the moment. It was organic, I said,

1354
01:17:44,000 --> 01:17:45,800
Speaker 1: I've always said when I scored here, I wanted to

1355
01:17:45,880 --> 01:17:48,680
Speaker 1: jump into the crowd. Okay, you know it just really

1356
01:17:48,720 --> 01:17:50,880
Speaker 1: goes to show bills, how Bill great Bills, My fia

1357
01:17:50,960 --> 01:17:52,559
Speaker 1: is when we're out there, we felt like rock stars,

1358
01:17:52,600 --> 01:17:54,640
Speaker 1: so you know it's only right to stage dive, and uh,

1359
01:17:55,640 --> 01:17:57,200
Speaker 1: it was just great. I didn't plan it. I just

1360
01:17:57,280 --> 01:17:58,840
Speaker 1: saw the crowd and I just saw everybody and I

1361
01:17:58,960 --> 01:18:00,439
Speaker 1: was just thinking, and it was a thing. They came

1362
01:18:00,439 --> 01:18:02,400
Speaker 1: into my mind. So it was the organic. What are

1363
01:18:02,479 --> 01:18:06,799
Speaker 1: fans usually yelling in your ear or are they just screaming?

1364
01:18:07,160 --> 01:18:09,920
Speaker 1: In general? I've always been curious, like, you guys jump

1365
01:18:10,000 --> 01:18:12,880
Speaker 1: in and they're all fired up. They're patting you on

1366
01:18:12,920 --> 01:18:14,760
Speaker 1: the helmet, they're whacking you on the pads, and they're

1367
01:18:14,800 --> 01:18:18,760
Speaker 1: all excited. But are they saying anything that's even even understandable.

1368
01:18:19,080 --> 01:18:23,759
Speaker 1: I didn't hear anything, honestly. No, you just hear everybody

1369
01:18:23,840 --> 01:18:25,639
Speaker 1: hitting you on the head. You hear a lot of screams,

1370
01:18:25,640 --> 01:18:27,560
Speaker 1: you hear a lot of cheers, and really people just

1371
01:18:27,600 --> 01:18:29,320
Speaker 1: pour water on you. That's right. That's one thing I

1372
01:18:29,360 --> 01:18:31,800
Speaker 1: posted Instagram and there's like somebody just pouring water right

1373
01:18:31,880 --> 01:18:33,280
Speaker 1: on my leg. But that's really I got out of

1374
01:18:33,320 --> 01:18:35,360
Speaker 1: their wet So that was probably the only thing I

1375
01:18:35,400 --> 01:18:37,479
Speaker 1: can think of. And remember, yeah, Plus you know the

1376
01:18:37,520 --> 01:18:39,000
Speaker 1: guys that are there, it's with you. They come in,

1377
01:18:39,439 --> 01:18:41,600
Speaker 1: you get there first, obviously, then you jump in and

1378
01:18:41,640 --> 01:18:44,920
Speaker 1: then there's like nine of your teammates jumping in and hugging.

1379
01:18:45,280 --> 01:18:48,080
Speaker 1: It's it's an awesome feeling, no question about it. What

1380
01:18:48,280 --> 01:18:52,000
Speaker 1: did you you know? After that? And you're gonna go

1381
01:18:52,080 --> 01:18:56,040
Speaker 1: back and return another kick, and the same thing happens.

1382
01:18:56,120 --> 01:18:58,120
Speaker 1: You take this one. Actually this one's longer, it's one

1383
01:18:58,160 --> 01:19:02,040
Speaker 1: oh two. What you know? It was a different call,

1384
01:19:02,160 --> 01:19:06,080
Speaker 1: different return, yep, and you end up running really free

1385
01:19:06,160 --> 01:19:08,559
Speaker 1: for sixty yards. You didn't make that tack guy breaks

1386
01:19:08,600 --> 01:19:12,920
Speaker 1: the tackles. That's it. It's over. You know what's Matt

1387
01:19:12,960 --> 01:19:15,000
Speaker 1: Smiley say? What are you guys saying the meetings? I mean,

1388
01:19:15,200 --> 01:19:17,760
Speaker 1: how did that happen? And what were you saying about

1389
01:19:17,760 --> 01:19:19,800
Speaker 1: the exs and those of those returns and how they

1390
01:19:19,840 --> 01:19:22,160
Speaker 1: worked well. The first return, it was a great return.

1391
01:19:22,240 --> 01:19:24,840
Speaker 1: Got to bounce it outside and you know, use my speed.

1392
01:19:24,920 --> 01:19:27,000
Speaker 1: But the second one, it was actually very interesting. I

1393
01:19:27,000 --> 01:19:28,800
Speaker 1: actually said something to Smile, like, hey, let's go to

1394
01:19:28,800 --> 01:19:31,519
Speaker 1: the opposite of the way we just went, and then

1395
01:19:31,680 --> 01:19:33,240
Speaker 1: I told him when I was thinking about how to

1396
01:19:33,240 --> 01:19:35,680
Speaker 1: set the return. And then actually at halftime, Smiley went

1397
01:19:35,680 --> 01:19:37,559
Speaker 1: and drew it up, and he went and drew it up,

1398
01:19:37,560 --> 01:19:39,000
Speaker 1: and they were a little bit of questions and he

1399
01:19:39,040 --> 01:19:41,080
Speaker 1: showed everybody the return and then we went out there

1400
01:19:41,120 --> 01:19:43,840
Speaker 1: and executed. So it was it was crazy. It's crazy

1401
01:19:43,880 --> 01:19:45,479
Speaker 1: when you know, like when you draw something up perfect,

1402
01:19:45,560 --> 01:19:48,040
Speaker 1: especially on the return unit to score. Notice you didn't

1403
01:19:48,040 --> 01:19:50,360
Speaker 1: even like rep that during the week that the second one.

1404
01:19:50,520 --> 01:19:52,360
Speaker 1: So the second one we had another return like that,

1405
01:19:52,520 --> 01:19:54,880
Speaker 1: but since we had a certain block on the first return,

1406
01:19:54,960 --> 01:19:57,080
Speaker 1: we switched it up and we had different blocking responsibilities.

1407
01:19:57,080 --> 01:19:58,439
Speaker 1: So my guys out there had to go out there

1408
01:19:58,439 --> 01:20:00,960
Speaker 1: and I noticed he caught that two yards deep and

1409
01:20:01,040 --> 01:20:03,400
Speaker 1: you kind of ran back, you veered towards the middle

1410
01:20:03,439 --> 01:20:05,920
Speaker 1: of the field. I always tell people that it really

1411
01:20:06,040 --> 01:20:10,200
Speaker 1: makes a big difference when the returner takes off and

1412
01:20:10,320 --> 01:20:12,200
Speaker 1: goes one way and then veers back the other way

1413
01:20:12,200 --> 01:20:14,439
Speaker 1: because when you're covering, you know, you cover those things,

1414
01:20:14,479 --> 01:20:16,439
Speaker 1: you're like going, okay, here we go. And then when

1415
01:20:16,479 --> 01:20:19,479
Speaker 1: he slams it back before you even he runs into traffic,

1416
01:20:19,840 --> 01:20:21,439
Speaker 1: it really sets up the blocks well. And that's what

1417
01:20:21,479 --> 01:20:23,920
Speaker 1: happened on that second return absolutely, And that's the one

1418
01:20:23,960 --> 01:20:25,880
Speaker 1: thing that you know, just as a returner, you have

1419
01:20:25,920 --> 01:20:28,720
Speaker 1: to know just tracks. Really, if you can have a

1420
01:20:28,760 --> 01:20:30,200
Speaker 1: good track, you can really set up a lot of

1421
01:20:30,240 --> 01:20:32,479
Speaker 1: the blocks and give your guys great angles because you

1422
01:20:32,600 --> 01:20:34,640
Speaker 1: just those guys are aggressive and they know they think

1423
01:20:34,680 --> 01:20:36,760
Speaker 1: they know where the ball is going. So, like I said,

1424
01:20:36,760 --> 01:20:38,080
Speaker 1: I set it up great enough of that I had

1425
01:20:38,120 --> 01:20:39,840
Speaker 1: to break one tackle and that just goes to show

1426
01:20:39,840 --> 01:20:42,040
Speaker 1: the other ten guys blocking for me. Right when you

1427
01:20:42,320 --> 01:20:46,120
Speaker 1: have a hidden yard and it wasn't very hidden yard.

1428
01:20:46,160 --> 01:20:48,439
Speaker 1: It just they both went for scores. But you always

1429
01:20:48,479 --> 01:20:51,160
Speaker 1: hear about the hidden yards that exist on special teams

1430
01:20:51,720 --> 01:20:54,160
Speaker 1: that you know the casual fan may not always see.

1431
01:20:54,400 --> 01:20:57,400
Speaker 1: For you know, they're focusing on offensive defense because it's

1432
01:20:57,439 --> 01:20:58,960
Speaker 1: just what's in front of the most of the game.

1433
01:21:00,640 --> 01:21:04,559
Speaker 1: Does coach Smiley have like a hidden yardage goal every week? Like, Hey,

1434
01:21:04,720 --> 01:21:08,719
Speaker 1: let's try to have eighty five hidden yards in our favor,

1435
01:21:08,840 --> 01:21:10,880
Speaker 1: or let's try to be plus eighty five compared to

1436
01:21:10,920 --> 01:21:12,800
Speaker 1: their hidden yards. You know what I mean, finish your

1437
01:21:12,840 --> 01:21:14,560
Speaker 1: head in that category. But I didn't know if he

1438
01:21:14,640 --> 01:21:16,600
Speaker 1: had like a benchmark that he wants you guys to

1439
01:21:16,640 --> 01:21:19,360
Speaker 1: try to hit everybody. No, it's not a benchmark is benchmark.

1440
01:21:19,400 --> 01:21:21,880
Speaker 1: It's really just have more than them, have a better

1441
01:21:22,000 --> 01:21:24,479
Speaker 1: average drive, start with them, and really after that, it's

1442
01:21:24,520 --> 01:21:26,800
Speaker 1: play longer and harder than whoever we play. So play

1443
01:21:26,880 --> 01:21:29,880
Speaker 1: longer and harder this week for the Bengals, and that's

1444
01:21:29,920 --> 01:21:31,960
Speaker 1: what we do. We just try to change field position,

1445
01:21:32,000 --> 01:21:33,680
Speaker 1: have better fool position than play longer and harder than

1446
01:21:33,680 --> 01:21:36,719
Speaker 1: our opponent. Yeah. Rule one for all special teams plays

1447
01:21:36,800 --> 01:21:40,160
Speaker 1: even when you're covering a punt or a kickoff. Rule

1448
01:21:40,200 --> 01:21:41,880
Speaker 1: one is, Hey, the best part is we got to

1449
01:21:41,960 --> 01:21:43,679
Speaker 1: end the play with the ball, even when you're kicking

1450
01:21:43,720 --> 01:21:45,400
Speaker 1: it to them. You know what I mean, it's always

1451
01:21:45,880 --> 01:21:48,760
Speaker 1: the ball is always at risk in these games. What

1452
01:21:48,960 --> 01:21:52,120
Speaker 1: does you know? What is your philosophy about ending the

1453
01:21:52,160 --> 01:21:54,320
Speaker 1: play with the ball always? You know, particularly when you're

1454
01:21:54,320 --> 01:21:57,360
Speaker 1: catching it, obviously, but you know what does some of

1455
01:21:57,400 --> 01:21:59,479
Speaker 1: the other guys say, and what's the attitude of the

1456
01:21:59,520 --> 01:22:01,880
Speaker 1: whole team when you know, you know, job one is

1457
01:22:01,920 --> 01:22:03,880
Speaker 1: pretty easy, just catch it and hang on to it,

1458
01:22:04,320 --> 01:22:06,920
Speaker 1: and everything else is a little bit gravy. Well, I

1459
01:22:06,960 --> 01:22:08,599
Speaker 1: think I think that's a I think, like you said,

1460
01:22:08,640 --> 01:22:10,240
Speaker 1: the one, the job that you said is the easiest,

1461
01:22:10,240 --> 01:22:12,360
Speaker 1: really the hardest catching the ball and possessing it. And

1462
01:22:12,479 --> 01:22:14,640
Speaker 1: that's especially in Buffalo. That's where people like you know,

1463
01:22:14,720 --> 01:22:16,240
Speaker 1: and they even tell you they send punters up here

1464
01:22:16,280 --> 01:22:19,519
Speaker 1: to die. And that's really what I've really just taken taken.

1465
01:22:20,479 --> 01:22:22,120
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of the word I've taken a

1466
01:22:22,200 --> 01:22:25,879
Speaker 1: lot of responsibility in And because you know I'm in Buffalo,

1467
01:22:26,000 --> 01:22:28,320
Speaker 1: I have to be loud with my hot calls, my

1468
01:22:28,360 --> 01:22:31,080
Speaker 1: Peter calls. There is a lot of wind, and even

1469
01:22:31,160 --> 01:22:32,880
Speaker 1: sometimes there have been times where I knew I was

1470
01:22:32,920 --> 01:22:34,519
Speaker 1: gonna catch the ball on the ball bounced towards me,

1471
01:22:34,640 --> 01:22:36,479
Speaker 1: and even though it's affecting my average, I try to

1472
01:22:36,520 --> 01:22:37,880
Speaker 1: get them the ball and make sure it doesn't roll

1473
01:22:37,920 --> 01:22:39,920
Speaker 1: all the way back to the one. And that's really

1474
01:22:40,080 --> 01:22:41,880
Speaker 1: what my goal is. What I try to do is

1475
01:22:42,080 --> 01:22:43,439
Speaker 1: if I know I'm not going to return it, try

1476
01:22:43,479 --> 01:22:44,760
Speaker 1: to make sure the offense doesn't have the ball on

1477
01:22:44,800 --> 01:22:47,280
Speaker 1: the one or two, and after that, I feel like

1478
01:22:47,320 --> 01:22:49,000
Speaker 1: I had a great job and like you can see

1479
01:22:49,040 --> 01:22:51,400
Speaker 1: Taiwan with me. There's I've always got guys with me

1480
01:22:51,600 --> 01:22:56,519
Speaker 1: to have my back, do you when you I don't know,

1481
01:22:56,640 --> 01:23:01,080
Speaker 1: it's weird, Like your scores as a return man have

1482
01:23:01,280 --> 01:23:03,280
Speaker 1: largely come in bunches. I mean, you had a game

1483
01:23:03,320 --> 01:23:05,240
Speaker 1: with two punt returns for a touchdown. Now you have

1484
01:23:05,280 --> 01:23:07,760
Speaker 1: a game with two kick returns for touchdowns in the

1485
01:23:07,840 --> 01:23:09,840
Speaker 1: same game. You're the only player in NFL history to

1486
01:23:09,920 --> 01:23:13,600
Speaker 1: have that. What is it? Just? Does it amaze you?

1487
01:23:13,840 --> 01:23:16,400
Speaker 1: Do you find it weird? Like that it happened that way?

1488
01:23:17,040 --> 01:23:19,040
Speaker 1: You know that? Why not? Why is it not weird?

1489
01:23:19,120 --> 01:23:21,280
Speaker 1: What's I've done it before? I did in high school?

1490
01:23:21,560 --> 01:23:23,519
Speaker 1: You did it? She had games in high school with

1491
01:23:23,600 --> 01:23:26,680
Speaker 1: multiple score games. Yeah. I mean, if I remember my

1492
01:23:26,800 --> 01:23:28,800
Speaker 1: junior year when one time they went three and out,

1493
01:23:29,000 --> 01:23:30,960
Speaker 1: returned it for a touchdown, then returned to get in

1494
01:23:31,000 --> 01:23:33,040
Speaker 1: the third quarter, kind of like the Patriots. So wow,

1495
01:23:33,280 --> 01:23:35,040
Speaker 1: this is I've done it in middle school. I've done

1496
01:23:35,040 --> 01:23:36,920
Speaker 1: it just about every moment in my life, and even

1497
01:23:36,960 --> 01:23:39,000
Speaker 1: in college, I didn't have two back to back returns,

1498
01:23:39,080 --> 01:23:40,920
Speaker 1: but I had an eight yard breakaway. They go three

1499
01:23:40,920 --> 01:23:43,600
Speaker 1: and out in the ninetyar punt return. So I've learned that.

1500
01:23:43,840 --> 01:23:46,400
Speaker 1: You know, I feel like my nickname that I was given, Nightmare,

1501
01:23:46,479 --> 01:23:47,960
Speaker 1: is very suiting. And I feel like I'm lightning in

1502
01:23:47,960 --> 01:23:50,120
Speaker 1: the bottle. So I feel like lightning can struck it anytime. Wow,

1503
01:23:50,320 --> 01:23:54,840
Speaker 1: give us an idea? Worked twice. Yeah, let's let's spend ahead.

1504
01:23:54,920 --> 01:23:57,400
Speaker 1: Just one last question about this game coming up, certainly

1505
01:23:57,479 --> 01:24:01,120
Speaker 1: a game that was suspended three weeks ago when because

1506
01:24:01,160 --> 01:24:04,120
Speaker 1: of DeMar, DeMar's now back in the building, you see him,

1507
01:24:04,120 --> 01:24:05,640
Speaker 1: everything's kind of like you take a deep breath and

1508
01:24:05,720 --> 01:24:08,160
Speaker 1: like move ahead. It's great, and it's great, right, And

1509
01:24:08,280 --> 01:24:11,040
Speaker 1: now the game comes around this time in Buffalo and

1510
01:24:11,160 --> 01:24:13,920
Speaker 1: it's the playoffs. Well, I mean, you know what's funny

1511
01:24:14,000 --> 01:24:16,000
Speaker 1: is I have a friend on the team and I

1512
01:24:16,120 --> 01:24:17,679
Speaker 1: kind of was like, hey, you guys are a great team,

1513
01:24:17,720 --> 01:24:19,840
Speaker 1: and we'll see you guys again. And that's kind of

1514
01:24:19,880 --> 01:24:22,439
Speaker 1: just how it works out with some situations in an importance,

1515
01:24:22,560 --> 01:24:26,080
Speaker 1: unfortunate situation that happened. But for whatever reason, ever since

1516
01:24:26,200 --> 01:24:28,240
Speaker 1: that game has happened has been suspended. In my head,

1517
01:24:28,240 --> 01:24:29,639
Speaker 1: I've just had a feeling we were going to see

1518
01:24:29,680 --> 01:24:32,680
Speaker 1: them again, So I'm super excited for that. You know,

1519
01:24:32,720 --> 01:24:34,840
Speaker 1: we're gonna start out and go out there and play

1520
01:24:34,920 --> 01:24:36,759
Speaker 1: play our football, and I'm gonna do my one eleven

1521
01:24:36,760 --> 01:24:38,040
Speaker 1: to make sure we can help this team win and

1522
01:24:38,120 --> 01:24:41,200
Speaker 1: go to the advance on the next round. Well, listen, name,

1523
01:24:41,240 --> 01:24:43,519
Speaker 1: thanks for stopping by. We appreciate you giving us some time,

1524
01:24:43,600 --> 01:24:45,280
Speaker 1: giving the fans some time to get to know you

1525
01:24:45,280 --> 01:24:49,000
Speaker 1: a little better. You're always welcome back. And uh, you know,

1526
01:24:49,160 --> 01:24:51,040
Speaker 1: if somewhere down the line here you want to get

1527
01:24:51,040 --> 01:24:52,519
Speaker 1: another two in the end zone, I'm not going to

1528
01:24:52,640 --> 01:24:56,320
Speaker 1: argue with you for one second. Lightning strikes twice, as

1529
01:24:56,720 --> 01:24:59,400
Speaker 1: Niheim says, So I'm all about that, and I'll go

1530
01:24:59,479 --> 01:25:02,080
Speaker 1: with nightmare or too. I'll have to remember that because

1531
01:25:02,080 --> 01:25:06,759
Speaker 1: I was the guy going bananas on those that one. Okay, okay,

1532
01:25:07,000 --> 01:25:10,200
Speaker 1: fair enough. Nahim Hines joining us here. Good luck on Sunday.

1533
01:25:10,479 --> 01:25:12,599
Speaker 1: All right, that's Nihim Hies joining us here on One

1534
01:25:12,640 --> 01:25:15,040
Speaker 1: Bills Live. Will take a break here, be back with more,

1535
01:25:15,080 --> 01:25:17,040
Speaker 1: including your thoughts on the tweet sheet. Next on one

1536
01:25:17,080 --> 01:25:19,719
Speaker 1: Bills Live, presented by Kalida Health, It's Buffalo Bill's Radio

1537
01:25:28,439 --> 01:25:30,519
Speaker 1: All right here we are on one bills live Chris Brown,

1538
01:25:30,600 --> 01:25:33,400
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker. We know that the New England Patriots are

1539
01:25:33,439 --> 01:25:36,000
Speaker 1: looking for an offensive coordinator, the New York Jets are

1540
01:25:36,040 --> 01:25:38,759
Speaker 1: looking for an offensive coordinator, and now the Miami Dolphins

1541
01:25:38,800 --> 01:25:41,840
Speaker 1: will be looking for a defensive coordinator. NFL Networks ian

1542
01:25:41,920 --> 01:25:46,120
Speaker 1: Rappidport reporting the Dolphins have parted ways with DC Josh Boyer.

1543
01:25:47,000 --> 01:25:49,839
Speaker 1: Coach Mike McDaniel now said to hire his own defensive

1544
01:25:49,880 --> 01:25:54,080
Speaker 1: coordinator and some new defensive staffers as well. If you remember,

1545
01:25:54,520 --> 01:25:58,360
Speaker 1: McDaniel inherited Josh Boyer. They wanted to keep that side

1546
01:25:58,400 --> 01:26:02,439
Speaker 1: of the ball intact for continuity purposes, and now they'll

1547
01:26:02,479 --> 01:26:06,080
Speaker 1: be starting over. The question there is, Steve, do you

1548
01:26:06,400 --> 01:26:08,479
Speaker 1: do you only hire a guy that's going to play

1549
01:26:08,520 --> 01:26:12,320
Speaker 1: a three four, knowing that that's what your players were

1550
01:26:12,360 --> 01:26:14,160
Speaker 1: playing in the better part of the last two years,

1551
01:26:14,280 --> 01:26:16,960
Speaker 1: or do you flip it and just start from scratch?

1552
01:26:17,080 --> 01:26:19,679
Speaker 1: Know when it could set you back. They learning curve

1553
01:26:19,760 --> 01:26:22,439
Speaker 1: and all all some key starters to injuries and stuff.

1554
01:26:22,560 --> 01:26:25,880
Speaker 1: But you got to think this too. If they're standing

1555
01:26:25,920 --> 01:26:27,880
Speaker 1: out there looking for guys, all of a sudden, they

1556
01:26:28,520 --> 01:26:31,160
Speaker 1: see they're not really sure about Josh Barriory thing and

1557
01:26:31,320 --> 01:26:33,600
Speaker 1: all out, and then they find out that Vic Fangio

1558
01:26:33,760 --> 01:26:37,200
Speaker 1: is out doing interviews and a thinking maybe maybe we'll

1559
01:26:37,280 --> 01:26:40,120
Speaker 1: jump in on that. That's what I would say, is

1560
01:26:40,320 --> 01:26:43,080
Speaker 1: the fact that you know they got and yeah they

1561
01:26:43,200 --> 01:26:46,200
Speaker 1: lost out on the well, not that they would if

1562
01:26:46,200 --> 01:26:48,040
Speaker 1: I was going to say some of the other defensive

1563
01:26:48,120 --> 01:26:51,160
Speaker 1: names that were out there, like Brian Flores, he's not

1564
01:26:51,200 --> 01:26:53,160
Speaker 1: going to go back to mine. I just love the turnover.

1565
01:26:53,240 --> 01:26:55,599
Speaker 1: But they'll keep churning and everybody else in the division

1566
01:26:55,600 --> 01:26:58,920
Speaker 1: here keep just churning it. And now it's coordinators as

1567
01:26:59,000 --> 01:27:02,879
Speaker 1: often it more coredators then head coaches these days. That's amazing.

1568
01:27:03,320 --> 01:27:05,760
Speaker 1: It's different. This is a different year for that, right

1569
01:27:06,360 --> 01:27:09,080
Speaker 1: I think. So, I mean there's five head coach openings,

1570
01:27:09,120 --> 01:27:11,920
Speaker 1: but usually there's more coordinators. Usually there's ape and now

1571
01:27:11,960 --> 01:27:15,320
Speaker 1: there's six days everywhere that are they're looking for job

1572
01:27:15,439 --> 01:27:17,800
Speaker 1: key to a playoff win over the Bengals. Tweet cheat

1573
01:27:17,840 --> 01:27:20,160
Speaker 1: comments brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official

1574
01:27:20,160 --> 01:27:23,280
Speaker 1: equipment moving company of the Buffalo Bills. James says defense

1575
01:27:23,840 --> 01:27:25,879
Speaker 1: the D line needs to take advantage of the patchwork

1576
01:27:25,920 --> 01:27:28,200
Speaker 1: since the O line to pressure Burrow Gregor Rousseau is

1577
01:27:28,240 --> 01:27:30,920
Speaker 1: ready to back down passes and Reek Havoc, Milano and

1578
01:27:31,040 --> 01:27:33,240
Speaker 1: Edmonds will play at their elite level, and defensive backs

1579
01:27:33,320 --> 01:27:35,439
Speaker 1: need to play a hell of a game. Josh won't

1580
01:27:35,479 --> 01:27:39,960
Speaker 1: be stopped. I like Greg Russeau kicking inside. The Ravens

1581
01:27:40,320 --> 01:27:43,920
Speaker 1: used Ota Fao way down inside. He's usually their edge

1582
01:27:44,000 --> 01:27:46,280
Speaker 1: rusher and he caused a lot of problems down inside.

1583
01:27:46,320 --> 01:27:48,840
Speaker 1: I think Greg Rusau can have similar success. The Bills

1584
01:27:48,840 --> 01:27:52,880
Speaker 1: have never done that, though they've kicked him inside sometimes. Yeah, well,

1585
01:27:53,000 --> 01:27:54,680
Speaker 1: through the course of this year and last year for

1586
01:27:54,760 --> 01:27:56,920
Speaker 1: the I don't want to turn over the capel cart,

1587
01:27:57,240 --> 01:28:01,080
Speaker 1: but yeah, if they if they're the offensive lineman since

1588
01:28:01,160 --> 01:28:04,760
Speaker 1: week fifteen, you got it. First of all, you gotta

1589
01:28:04,800 --> 01:28:06,120
Speaker 1: go straight up and say, all right, let's see what

1590
01:28:06,160 --> 01:28:10,280
Speaker 1: they can do first and then adjust from there. Certainly

1591
01:28:10,320 --> 01:28:12,960
Speaker 1: have that stuff in your bag. But yeah, this is

1592
01:28:13,000 --> 01:28:16,240
Speaker 1: a game where maybe ed Oliver just explodes again like

1593
01:28:16,960 --> 01:28:18,880
Speaker 1: giving and like he does it every once in a while,

1594
01:28:19,280 --> 01:28:22,360
Speaker 1: j Oliver does it. Gigi says, score even if you

1595
01:28:22,439 --> 01:28:24,559
Speaker 1: have to dink and dunk while long balls are exciting,

1596
01:28:24,640 --> 01:28:27,840
Speaker 1: what's his percentage of a completion? Thomas says, first off,

1597
01:28:27,880 --> 01:28:29,560
Speaker 1: We need to establish the line of scrimmage on the

1598
01:28:29,600 --> 01:28:32,040
Speaker 1: old line. Last week, they were in seventeen's face all day,

1599
01:28:32,080 --> 01:28:35,160
Speaker 1: which led to turnovers and sloppy play. Finally, special teams.

1600
01:28:35,200 --> 01:28:37,880
Speaker 1: As much as we got the touchdown returns this season,

1601
01:28:38,200 --> 01:28:40,280
Speaker 1: we had a few plays that result in bad field

1602
01:28:40,320 --> 01:28:44,000
Speaker 1: position and turnovers. So more consistency on special teams, Thomas wants,

1603
01:28:44,439 --> 01:28:46,960
Speaker 1: all right, I mean I'll sign up for that. That's kind.

1604
01:28:47,560 --> 01:28:49,800
Speaker 1: We got a big show for you tomorrow, as we

1605
01:28:49,920 --> 01:28:54,240
Speaker 1: do every Friday from NFL Films, Greg Coo, Sell and
