1
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 1: This One Bill's Live, presented by Kalia Health. All right,

2
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:38,520
Speaker 1: here we are on a Friday.

3
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 2: Gearing up for Bill's Chiefs on Sunday. Chris Brown, Steve

4
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 2: Tasker with you. One Bill's Live is the program. Thanks

5
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,159
Speaker 2: for joining us players out on the practice field. The

6
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 2: base is pumping out there as a matter of fact,

7
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 2: and this is commonplace four road games. They try to

8
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 2: replicate what it's going to sound like in the visiting

9
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 2: stadium at practice during the week. We could hear it

10
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:04,320
Speaker 2: from our office space prior to coming into the studio

11
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:09,759
Speaker 2: here they're playing the Yeah, what's it called the war

12
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:11,400
Speaker 2: chant song or whatever.

13
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: Tomahawk chop or something.

14
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, we still talk about playing that out there.

15
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 4: The old guys, the Bruce is Jim Thurman andre that

16
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 4: we all talk about that song when we talk about

17
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 4: the cheese. We can all remember.

18
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 3: That's what resonates.

19
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:29,680
Speaker 4: Yes, that's what resonates.

20
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 3: Okay, bless their heart. It's it's a good it's a

21
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 3: staple for them. We know that good and good for this.

22
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:35,680
Speaker 1: It's like the shout.

23
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 4: Song here, sure, except it's more it plays shout song

24
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,119
Speaker 4: when we after scores, Yeah, and can't see they play

25
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:43,119
Speaker 4: that thing for a first down.

26
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 1: They don't care for a sack.

27
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 2: They you know, they'll do it whenever yever they feel good.

28
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 1: It's the button.

29
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like the it's like the shout song, but

30
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 4: it's also the train horn, the first that.

31
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: You know, it's all that. It's the.

32
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 4: Public play that tomawk chop song. It's like ubiquitous, it is.

33
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 4: It's their go to.

34
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: That's it.

35
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 4: They don't have like a theme song for a score.

36
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 4: It's all just tomawk Chop.

37
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 1: I think.

38
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, they don't really have too much other stuff. The

39
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 2: only other staple they have. And I remember the first

40
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 2: time I heard this, traveling to Arrowhead for the first time.

41
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 2: This was in the late nineties, had never been there before.

42
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 2: We're standing for the anthem, you know, the anthem's about to.

43
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 3: End, and the home of the entire stadium, jeeves.

44
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 2: It's not the home of the Brave. They all say

45
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 2: home of the Chiefs. And I was just like, oh,

46
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,799
Speaker 2: well that's something here, okay. And they still do it now.

47
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 4: They still do it. Yeah, the home of the Chiefs.

48
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 4: They the last brave. They say Chiefs cool, and I

49
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 4: know that's part of the fun.

50
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 5: The whole league.

51
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 4: Every stadium's got their own little thing, and they take

52
00:02:58,080 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 4: great pride in it, and they have fun with it,

53
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 4: and it's awesome.

54
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 1: It's really awesome.

55
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 2: We want to get to Bill's practice updates presented by LEECOM.

56
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 2: You're a Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine, and it

57
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 2: doesn't really have to do much with people out on

58
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 2: the practice field because the Bill's injury report is pretty

59
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 2: much clean as a whistle. It concerns the players on

60
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 2: injured reserve, namely Dawson Knox and Kyrie Elam. Both have

61
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 2: been practicing this week as their twenty one day practice

62
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 2: windows have been opened. That happened on Wednesday and now

63
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 2: here at the end of the week, Head coach Sean

64
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 2: McDermott essentially said that Dawson Knox has a good chance

65
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 2: to be activated for Sunday. They want to see how

66
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 2: he comes through today's practice, but all signs have been

67
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 2: positive to this point. So the anticipation is he's better

68
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 2: than a fifty to fifty shot to be up and

69
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 2: active for Sunday's game against the Chiefs. And on top

70
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 2: of that, they are not as optimistic about Kyer Elim

71
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 2: so Sean McDermott on WGR earlier today in his weekly appearance,

72
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 2: said it's he probably won't be activated off of IR,

73
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 2: so it looks like Dawston Knox has a chance to

74
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,359
Speaker 2: be up, but Kyrie Elam in all likelihood will be

75
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 2: down and remain on injured reserve this week anyway. So

76
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 2: we'll just have to see how it goes as he

77
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 2: makes his way through that twenty one day practice window,

78
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 2: and maybe he's up for next week's game against Dallas,

79
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 2: So that may have to wait another week for Kyer

80
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 2: Elam to return to the roster. There is big news

81
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 2: concerning the Chiefs injury report, which had up to four

82
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 2: starters on it. Steve not practicing for a second straight

83
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 2: day yesterday, were left tackle Donovan Smith, linebacker Drew Tranquil,

84
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 2: free safety Brian Cook, and running back Isaiah Pacheco. During

85
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,239
Speaker 2: the media viewing portion of practice out in Kansas City today,

86
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:07,479
Speaker 2: no Isaiah Pachecko for a third straight day due to

87
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 2: a shoulder injury, So it's gonna be very interesting to

88
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 2: see what his status is when the Kansas City injury

89
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 2: report comes out later this afternoon.

90
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 3: That's a biggie.

91
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:18,280
Speaker 5: That is a biggie.

92
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 4: Pachecko hurts them Bolton.

93
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:25,919
Speaker 1: Is a huge get for that.

94
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 2: Well, it's looking more and more like Nick Bolton their

95
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 2: original starting middle line.

96
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 4: But if you don't get Pa check Or, you're gonna

97
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 4: get Clyde Edwards Hilaire former first round draft pick. So

98
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 4: you know you choose your poison. Scare Well, he's sitting

99
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 4: down for a reason, no question.

100
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: But Pa Checko's pretty good.

101
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 3: So that you got Jered McKinnon.

102
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 4: There's a lot of guys who would sit down. But yeah,

103
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 4: how it changes the mix is really intriguing. Will it

104
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 4: change their philosophy of the run game? Will it change

105
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 4: their confidence in the run game? Will it change their

106
00:05:54,800 --> 00:06:00,719
Speaker 4: percentage of runs called because of Pachecko's not there? And

107
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 4: would that have changed anyway given the fact they're playing

108
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 4: the Bills defense as opposed to somebody else. Really interesting.

109
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:11,679
Speaker 4: We all know the Bills fans know what defensive injuries

110
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 4: look like to a team and how it affects it.

111
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:17,359
Speaker 4: I mean, we have firsthand knowledge of that. It'll be

112
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 4: interesting to see how it affects the Chiefs and if

113
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:20,799
Speaker 4: it affects them the same way as it did the Bills.

114
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, Nick Bolton, as we were saying, he went on

115
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 2: injured reserve about six weeks ago with a wrist injury,

116
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 2: not unlike Dawson Knox, it required surgery. He began practicing

117
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 2: last week as the Chiefs opened up his twenty one

118
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 2: day practice window, and he has been full go the

119
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 2: last couple of days. So he is certainly trending toward

120
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 2: being activated off IR and playing on Sunday. But we'll

121
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 2: have to wait and see when that designation and change

122
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,919
Speaker 2: in roster status comes down for him, because there was

123
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 2: some speculation that it still might take another week before

124
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 2: you know, he's fully to go and ready to play

125
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,359
Speaker 2: on Sunday. But in the potential absence of Drew trankwill

126
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 2: you know, who's in the concussion protocol and had been

127
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 2: starting at middle linebacker in Bolton's place, maybe they're like, hey,

128
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 2: let's let's get Bolton on the field here. It's we

129
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 2: need somebody in there.

130
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 4: Right, they've got to be wondering about They've got their

131
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,239
Speaker 4: own problems in Kansas City now. They you know, they're

132
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 4: they're managing to win games where the Bills are not

133
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 4: two games one where or the other. These close losses

134
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 4: the Bills have had, if any of them two of

135
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 4: them flip, these teams are in the same spot and

136
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 4: the chief you know, But the Chiefs have almost identical

137
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 4: problems to the Bills except for the one lost record,

138
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 4: And that's the frustrating gott to be the frustrating part

139
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 4: when you look at it as a Bills fan, where

140
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 4: you think, you know, they're struggling to score points.

141
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 1: They you know, and they're not getting rid.

142
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 4: Of their play caller, right they don't get a bump

143
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 4: from having a fresh set of eyes look at it,

144
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 4: and all of a sudden, now they are scoring thirty

145
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 4: points a week again. They you know, Andy Reed has

146
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 4: got to be doing it with trying to do it

147
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 4: with smoke and mirrors.

148
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: But these two.

149
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 4: Teams, like I said, aside from their from their one

150
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 4: loss record and the Chiefs managing to win two more

151
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 4: games than the Bills did, uh or man are kind

152
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 4: of going through the same thing right now. Injuries on defense,

153
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 4: especially this week for the Chiefs, injuries on defense and

154
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 4: an offense that has sputtered. Now the Bills seem to have,

155
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 4: you know, cleaned out the fuel line and kind of

156
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 4: got things clicking again offensively.

157
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 5: The Chiefs.

158
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 4: Not so much. But they're the ones that can still

159
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 4: manage to try and win games. They've lost three out

160
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 4: of their last five, so that's starting to run its course.

161
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 4: They're right in the midst of a win loss win, loss,

162
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 4: win loss stretch.

163
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 3: Yep, I mean after startout six and want how.

164
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 1: How stinking familiar does that sound?

165
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:54,199
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean.

166
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 4: You got I'll say this, both of both teams got

167
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 4: the best guy possible taking snaps.

168
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean they really do.

169
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 3: Two of the winningest guys, These two guys.

170
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 4: These two guys are the are the standard for the

171
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:12,839
Speaker 4: last five years. It's that well since twenty twenty, last

172
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 4: three hours, they're the cream of the crop.

173
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,680
Speaker 2: We do want to remind you that with today being Friday,

174
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 2: it's the OBL Friday fan mail Bag. It's any question

175
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:24,679
Speaker 2: you got on the team or the league at large,

176
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 2: feel free to fire it off at us at eight

177
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 2: h three h five fifty one eighty eight five fifty

178
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 2: two five fifty. We also want to make you aware

179
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 2: in case you've haven't had your ear to the ground

180
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 2: on this. Sean McDermott called an impromptu press conference late

181
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 2: yesterday afternoon after a character assassination piece was put out

182
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 2: on him and his coaching tenure here in Buffalo. And

183
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 2: he addressed a situation that he admitted at the time

184
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 2: was a mistake, and then reiterated that yesterday, using the

185
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 2: nine eleven terrorist attacks as a talking point about communication.

186
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 2: He corrected his error at the time back in twenty

187
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,680
Speaker 2: nineteen and explained how he did so again yesterday. He

188
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 2: addressed the media today and he was asked for further

189
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 2: questions on the character assassination piece on him, and his

190
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 2: comments were pretty poignant.

191
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 3: And I think if you.

192
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 2: If you're far enough away from this team to not

193
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,199
Speaker 2: know Sean McDermott the person, I encourage you to listen

194
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 2: to this because you'll get a greater sense of Sean

195
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 2: McDermott the person and Sean McDermott the coach with some

196
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 2: of his remarks today.

197
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 3: So let's turn to that.

198
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 5: Now.

199
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 3: Here's Sean McDermot addressing the media today.

200
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 6: Is there anything you need to see from Dawson specifically today?

201
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 6: Is that like catching?

202
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 7: You know, I feel like he's answered a lot of that,

203
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 7: Like with pads on yesterday and with no pads with

204
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 7: the catching on Wednesday, I think he's answered a lot

205
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 7: of that. It's just more or let's just take continue

206
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:03,680
Speaker 7: to take it one step at a time and see

207
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 7: how he handles today and how he feels afterwards. To

208
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 7: that that feedback is important.

209
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 8: What does Dawson bringing to your offense?

210
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 7: Yeah, Joe, I mean it's you know, we're just obviously

211
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 7: on the radio there talking about the blend really of

212
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 7: Dalton and Dawson, and Dalton has certainly shown us what

213
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 7: he's capable of and uh taking advantage of the opportunity

214
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 7: that he's that he's gotten, and so blending.

215
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 1: The two together.

216
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 7: Both are good football players, both a little bit different

217
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:41,079
Speaker 7: one from the other, and I think that blend is important.

218
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 7: Dawson's obviously I'm good at the point of attack, strong

219
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,079
Speaker 7: veteran player and uh and does a good job in

220
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 7: the past game in his own right as well, which

221
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 7: which I know Dalton does too, So, you know, blending

222
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 7: those two in the right capacity proportions. However you want

223
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 7: to say, it is horn Forest has.

224
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 8: He been gone long enough Dawson that entirely that bringing

225
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 8: him back and Dalton in his evolution and what we've

226
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 8: seen when you say blending, blending almost like two different

227
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,680
Speaker 8: players than when we saw them last together on the field.

228
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's him.

229
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 3: I think it's.

230
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 7: You know, we knew we knew some about Dalton then,

231
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 7: and now it's we know more about Dalton. And that's

232
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 7: kind of just the evolution of a rookie, the journey

233
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 7: of a of a rookie season. And so now it's

234
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 7: how do you how do you how do you coexist

235
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 7: in the right proportions to make sure we're as productive

236
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,720
Speaker 7: as we can be and maybe beyond what we've been

237
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 7: over the.

238
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 1: Last two weeks.

239
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,679
Speaker 7: And so that's that's a that's a balance, and that's

240
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 7: I'm not going to sit here and say that that's easy, right,

241
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 7: it's a good, good problem to have, and and it's

242
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 7: up to us as coaches and and and figuring that

243
00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,680
Speaker 7: out right and and and that may take a little

244
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,560
Speaker 7: bit of time, I'm and I think the other kind

245
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:04,679
Speaker 7: of challenge, if you want to call it challenge, is,

246
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 7: you know, Dawson's conditioning. He's been out to your point

247
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:11,199
Speaker 7: six weeks, So anytime you're back for your first game, it's, hey,

248
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,679
Speaker 7: how can you make the game slow down? And how

249
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 7: can you allow the game to come to you a

250
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 7: little bite.

251
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 8: Another part of the equation is Khalil, who seems every

252
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 8: time called upon makes place. What is then the balance

253
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:25,719
Speaker 8: of you're looking through two tight ends how to play then,

254
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 8: but not wanting to take away in earned opportunities of Khalil.

255
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 7: Yeah, and that's that's some of the blend, right is it's, uh,

256
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 7: you know, who do you want to be? Who do

257
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 7: you what proportion of what personnel groups do we want

258
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 7: out there? So some of that's game plan driven as well,

259
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 7: based on based on the opponent week two weeks. So

260
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 7: again somewhat of a good problem to have. But the

261
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 7: thing I love about all three of those guys that

262
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 7: you mentioned is they're selfless in their approach. So they've

263
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 7: been that way since since they've arrived.

264
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 8: Last we talked to you, you were getting ready for

265
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 8: the team meeting yesterday. I just was wondering, how did

266
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 8: that go?

267
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 9: What would then takeaways for the team.

268
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, I thought it went as good as

269
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 7: one could expect, as I could expect, And it was

270
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 7: important for me, Catherine, to address the players that are

271
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 7: new to us since twenty nineteen and may not have

272
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 7: been around that day, and so that they understood it

273
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 7: that situation and how it unfolded, and that based on

274
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 7: who I am and what they've seen, my hope and

275
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 7: how I try and do things and how I handled

276
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 7: that situation so it went well. Their support was clear

277
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 7: and much appreciated.

278
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 10: Did I feel like the bigger point about is the

279
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 10: newer players versus players who had been there for the.

280
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 7: Moment that that was part of the reason, a big

281
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 7: part of the reason why I did it, because having

282
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 7: everyone on the same page, and if I was a

283
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 7: new player, based on you know, how I've seen Sean,

284
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 7: I would expect them to think that that that doesn't

285
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 7: that's maybe you know, doesn't fit what I've seen. And

286
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 7: so again, just clear communication, accountability, and just you know,

287
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 7: trying to make sure everyone's on the same page.

288
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 11: You spoke to the specific part of the story you

289
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 11: said you hadn't read the rest of it. You know,

290
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 11: the main theme of the story seem to be surrounded

291
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 11: or surrounding your lack of accountability, at least in the

292
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 11: eyes of all the people that we're spoken to for

293
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 11: the story.

294
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 5: How do you respond to that?

295
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't. I know who I am. I know

296
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 7: how I try and do things. Am I am I

297
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 7: without flaw? No, I'm not without flaw. And I say

298
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 7: that humbly. I believe we try and do things right.

299
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 5: Here.

300
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 7: It doesn't mean that everything we do is is right.

301
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 7: People are going to have their own opinions.

302
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 1: I believe we've won a.

303
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 7: Lot of games here since we've arrived, and I'm confident

304
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 7: in that. I'm confident in this football team, and people

305
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 7: are going to have their opinions.

306
00:15:59,080 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 1: I can't control that.

307
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 12: You spoke with the team.

308
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 8: What sort of conversations beyond the players did you have

309
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 8: yesterday regarding the what was in the article?

310
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, just more follow up really from them

311
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 7: to me in terms of support, in terms of text messages,

312
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 7: guys seeking me out to say coach. I mean even

313
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 7: players that are no longer here that have mentioned you know,

314
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 7: other people, even staff, some in this room, some not

315
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 7: in this room, that know who I am, know how

316
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 7: I try and do things.

317
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 9: You know.

318
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 7: It was clearly attack on to me, an attack on

319
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 7: my character, and and that's important to me, very important

320
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 7: as much, if not more, very clearly more.

321
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 1: Than wins and losses.

322
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 7: Wins and losses are important, but what's more important to

323
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 7: me from day one is is how you handle yourself.

324
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 7: And again doesn't mean that I've uh been perfect. No

325
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 7: one's perfect. Doesn't mean that I've haven't been without flaw.

326
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 7: But to me, it's most important that for myself and

327
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 7: my family, my kids, that I handle this job the

328
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:10,120
Speaker 7: right way.

329
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:12,440
Speaker 6: Four hours.

330
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 7: Well, I think Joe, in any in any of our lives,

331
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 7: if this came up for any of us, something like this,

332
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 7: it's it definitely get your mind spinning, right, just being real,

333
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:39,360
Speaker 7: And it's been disappointing, it's been.

334
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:43,880
Speaker 5: Hurtful.

335
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 7: Right at the end of the day, I know who

336
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 7: I am at the end of the day, I know

337
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 7: how I handle myself. As I've said humbly, I'm I'm

338
00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:04,160
Speaker 7: I'm not without flaws, right. I wake up every morning

339
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 7: try and do the best job that I can to

340
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 7: win games for the fans of Buffalo Bills and do

341
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:16,160
Speaker 7: it the right way. And that's my main goal every day.

342
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 13: Sometimes we go through this world and we don't know

343
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 13: what people think of us, and I'm not saying the

344
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 13: negative stuff.

345
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:23,160
Speaker 5: I'm telling them to thinking about the.

346
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 13: People who you'd work with, the people that you're close with.

347
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:27,920
Speaker 8: But we don't always say it.

348
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 13: And I'm guessing that in the last twenty four hours

349
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 13: we've had a lot of people as you mentioned, indicated,

350
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 13: but has that been I don't want to put a

351
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 13: word out there, a relief or the appreciation of when

352
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 13: you hear those people come and say.

353
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:45,879
Speaker 1: We're with you.

354
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean absolutely, Timmy.

355
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 7: You know, we all go through adversity, right, There's lessons

356
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 7: in this.

357
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:55,159
Speaker 5: For me.

358
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 7: There's lessons in this for my children, my order to

359
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 7: in particular, who can understand a little bit more when

360
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 7: you get text messages, when you get people going out

361
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 7: of their way personally to come and see you, and

362
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 7: when you get notes on your desk in the morning,

363
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 7: messages from players who are no longer here that play

364
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 7: currently with other teams.

365
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 1: I'm not tampering.

366
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 7: It's it's it's it's support, and it's love, and it

367
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 7: it's it's affirming right that you are, because that's important,

368
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,399
Speaker 7: right to feel like you're trying to do things a

369
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 7: certain way and you want that to be to be.

370
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 5: Viewed that way.

371
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:42,439
Speaker 7: On the other end, right saying, hey, this is a

372
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 7: guy that you know, I think he's a good coach,

373
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:51,680
Speaker 7: and and beyond that, he's a he's a he tries

374
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:53,640
Speaker 7: to do things the right way. I think that's that's

375
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,680
Speaker 7: just very important to me. It's important to how I

376
00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:03,680
Speaker 7: was raised. And the focus right now is about needs

377
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,639
Speaker 7: to be about moving forward and getting myself focused on

378
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 7: this game and the challenge of the of the Kansas

379
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 7: City Chiefs.

380
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 1: And I owe that to.

381
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:16,640
Speaker 7: The team, and and and I'm super proud of them

382
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 7: in terms of how they've handled really the last two

383
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 7: weeks or or a week when some of this things

384
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 7: have come up, right, so they are steadfast and in

385
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 7: their approach in particular this week, and and the way

386
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:33,640
Speaker 7: that they've practiced.

387
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:37,199
Speaker 6: Is that to have to come compartmentalize kind of like

388
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 6: put this suicide and what's a game on Sunday kind

389
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 6: of with something that can take up a lot of

390
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 6: space in your mind, like how do how do you?

391
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 9: Maybe that's not there's.

392
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 12: Answer, Yeah, no it's not.

393
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 7: I mean, this is what this is what I get

394
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,479
Speaker 7: paid to do. In terms of it's it's it's what

395
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 7: I get paid to do, and that's what I owe

396
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:55,879
Speaker 7: to the team, it's what I owe to the fans

397
00:20:55,880 --> 00:21:00,160
Speaker 7: of the Buffalo Bills. And as I've alluded before and

398
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 7: earlier here, it's I don't take that responsibility lightly.

399
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 10: Lessons.

400
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 11: I know it's only been like twenty four hours, but

401
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:08,160
Speaker 11: what are some of your takeaways so far?

402
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 14: I'm just this experience yeah.

403
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 7: I mean we could probably take an hour to talk

404
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:21,399
Speaker 7: about him, Catherine. I mean just starting with you know,

405
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 7: you make every day count. You know, you take the

406
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 7: joy that you have when you get the job, and

407
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 7: it can ebb and flow through through experiences, through through

408
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 7: trials and tribulations and you and you don't want to

409
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 7: lose that right, you don't want to lose it. But

410
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 7: it gets tested as a person of faith. I think

411
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,919
Speaker 7: that's important. I'm gonna say it is that I know

412
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 7: who I walk with or I try and walk with

413
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 7: daily again, not that I'm nothing, I'm without flaws so character.

414
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,439
Speaker 11: This week, early in the week with Bond, there's a

415
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 11: lot of fans that are uncomfortable with what happened last

416
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,919
Speaker 11: week and then potentially seeing him playing on Sunday. I

417
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,879
Speaker 11: know you addressed it and Brandon addressed it, but do

418
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:17,160
Speaker 11: you feel comfortable at this point playing him knowing everything's gone?

419
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 7: And Matt, I one understand, I get it, I understand

420
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 7: this is not an easy situation and I you know,

421
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 7: it's the hardest part for us is I'm a football coach,

422
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,640
Speaker 7: I'm not an investigator, and we only have so much

423
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 7: information at this point.

424
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:37,160
Speaker 1: So we're doing the.

425
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:40,120
Speaker 7: Best job we can with what we have or don't have.

426
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:44,680
Speaker 7: Mostly in this case, I can promise those out there

427
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 7: that we have looked into every last thing.

428
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 1: We jumped on a call.

429
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 7: Sunday night again and I said, let's everyone get together

430
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 7: and say what do we know?

431
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 5: What do we know? What do we know?

432
00:22:56,359 --> 00:23:00,680
Speaker 7: And and there are multiple people on that call that

433
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 7: represent different parts of our organization who have expertise in

434
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 7: these areas, and this is where we're at. I wish

435
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 7: I had a better answer for those people. I can

436
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:13,439
Speaker 7: promise you we're always going to try and do the

437
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 7: best thing number one for doing what's right beyond the

438
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 7: football field. In this case, this is where we're at.

439
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 7: And I think for me and for them, it's we

440
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 7: have to continue to take it one day at a

441
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 7: time and see what more comes forward.

442
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 4: If you will something.

443
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 6: That you say taking it one day a time that

444
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 6: there's a constant conversation about like if something new comes in,

445
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 6: is it like okay, is this change anything? Like how's

446
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 6: I guess how's that working going forward?

447
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 7: From your Yeah, it hasn't been you know, initially obviously

448
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 7: there was a l information, but there was a lot

449
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 7: of things I don't know, you know, just just things

450
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 7: out there. I don't know if I can call that

451
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:57,200
Speaker 7: information because is it fact?

452
00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 5: Is it not? I I don't know.

453
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 7: Right so, there was a lot of things coming out,

454
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 7: I guess I should say early recently that's been rather

455
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:09,400
Speaker 7: quiet in terms of information from the sources we need

456
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,879
Speaker 7: the information from, and that's really what we're at this

457
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 7: point waiting on, so we know more going forward.

458
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:21,120
Speaker 13: Last one here, John, given the last twenty four hours,

459
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 13: the ongoing situation rabon.

460
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:25,199
Speaker 15: After you had the players meeting with the team yesterday,

461
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:27,880
Speaker 15: did you feel going into that did you have any

462
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 15: concerns about those teams buy instill and recognition of the

463
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 15: culture you've established, And after that, did you feel reaffirm

464
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 15: that everybody was still on the same page and things

465
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 15: were going in the direction culture wise that you have

466
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 15: envisioned so far.

467
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 1: Yes, I do, you know, I do.

468
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:48,200
Speaker 7: I feel strongly that the looks in their eyes yesterday,

469
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 7: the looks in their eyes when they came back here,

470
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 7: you know, they were back Monday. I didn't really have

471
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 7: we didn't have a team meeting. They conditioned Monday, but

472
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 7: we'd have a team meeting till wednesday. Excuse me. They

473
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 7: seem like they are are strong and focused on the

474
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:08,920
Speaker 7: Kansas City Chiefs, and the leadership of our team, led

475
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 7: by guys like Micah Hyde, were very evident this week

476
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 7: and much appreciated.

477
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,880
Speaker 5: I know, Scott, Yeah, all.

478
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 2: Right, So that's Coach McDermot, who addressed the media today

479
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 2: was asked several questions about why he felt it necessary

480
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,399
Speaker 2: to respond to the character assass anation piece that was

481
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 2: written yesterday, And I think he laid it out, and

482
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 2: I think he effectively laid out how important this job

483
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 2: is to him. He recognizes the responsibility of it, and

484
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:36,919
Speaker 2: he's committed to doing things the right way, in a

485
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 2: principled way, and that has never wavered.

486
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 3: And it was.

487
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:47,440
Speaker 2: Basically the attacks on his accountability and taking personal responsibility

488
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 2: for any and all shortcomings that have happened during his

489
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 2: tenure that I think stuck with him the most, and

490
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 2: just the fact that he addressed it immediately, I think

491
00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 2: only re emphasizes the character he has as the head

492
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 2: coach of this football team.

493
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:05,679
Speaker 4: Yes, and uh yeah, I think most people get it

494
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:09,439
Speaker 4: at that. You know, I mean, pick a target, a

495
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 4: prominent target that everybody knows and has some interest in

496
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:15,879
Speaker 4: assassinate them. And then profit off the destruction of another

497
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:19,680
Speaker 4: man's life and livelihood. And we've seen it before. I've

498
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 4: seen it before. There you go, that's what it was.

499
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:27,879
Speaker 4: And then and and you know, that's that's why the

500
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,119
Speaker 4: thing was written. That's why it was done in the

501
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:35,399
Speaker 4: first place. It was done for personal profit at another

502
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:38,679
Speaker 4: person's expense. And that's you know, so you got you

503
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:40,199
Speaker 4: know that it's that is what it is.

504
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 6: Uh.

505
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 4: And he handled I thought he handled the press conference

506
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 4: very great, because listen, there's two two things in this

507
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:49,119
Speaker 4: week have been popped up. This article and then you

508
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:52,640
Speaker 4: know the von Miller stuff is ongoing. Uh, and ADS,

509
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:58,359
Speaker 4: which he also addressed. Yeah, the people who work in

510
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:03,680
Speaker 4: the building, even even the ones who were well not quoted,

511
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 4: but whose information was used in the article, would probably

512
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 4: concede how good a coach he is and what he's

513
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 4: trying to do here and what he has done, and

514
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 4: the monumental job he has done in not only taking

515
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 4: what was once considered a Siberia in the NFL into

516
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:30,639
Speaker 4: and destination for high quality free agents. Yeah, it's been remarkable.

517
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 4: So he handled it, I thought very well. And unfortunately,

518
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 4: you gotta put up with stuff like that when you

519
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 4: are reach a certain level of fame and accomplishment.

520
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 3: You're a public facing figure, yeah.

521
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, and somebody's gonna take a swipe at you like that.

522
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 1: Yeah.

523
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 2: So we just felt it was necessary to bring that

524
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:53,720
Speaker 2: to everyone's attention in case you did not hear it.

554
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:29,040

555
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 16: a minute and a half. Okay, all right, listen, I'm

556
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 16: sixty years old. I've been going to these games since

557
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 16: I'm eight years old. I'm a diehard, built fan like

558
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 16: everybody else out there. But what has been going around

559
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 16: social media, the media the last few weeks about McDermott

560
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 16: is just so disturbing. There's so many people here who

561
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 16: have lost faith in him. And I scratched my head

562
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 16: and say, why. This guy's a god erry man. He's

563
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 16: a damn good coach. He doesn't disrespect anybody. He never

564
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 16: throws his players under the bus in public, his coaches

565
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 16: and some guy writes a report and they want to

566
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 16: talk about him like he's some bozo. I don't understand

567
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 16: what's going on out there. All I hear is he's

568
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 16: not Andy Reid, he's not Tyle Shanahan. He's not this

569
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 16: guy or that guy. No, we haven't won the big

570
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 16: one yet. But let me just say this this. I

571
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:31,479
Speaker 16: stand behind this guy, and I'm gonna stand behind him

572
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 16: until it's evident that he can't bring home a winner.

573
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 16: But he's he's a good man, and people that talk

574
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 16: about him and put him down, it's really disturbing for

575
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 16: all that he's done here because for seventeen years we

576
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 16: are in the desert looking for the damn date tree,

577
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:52,960
Speaker 16: and we finally the date tree shows up. And now

578
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 16: people want to go, oh, we don't like that day tree,

579
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 16: get rid of them. I don't understand it. I really don't.

580
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 16: And I'm just here to say that I know there's

581
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:04,880
Speaker 16: a lot of people out there. My own son, he's

582
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 16: twenty five, he's a big athlete. Oh he's too conservative, dat,

583
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 16: it'll never take us to the next level. We may

584
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 16: not make the playoffs this year. We may, we may not.

585
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 16: If we don't make it, we don't fire him. We

586
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 16: add to what we have. We have a great organization,

587
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 16: one of the greatest and pro football and people just

588
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 16: want to canonize Bean McDermott. Everybody open your eyes and

589
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:30,239
Speaker 16: realize that we've got a good thing going here and

590
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 16: that it just needs to be tweaked a little bit.

591
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 16: And that's what I think.

592
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:39,200
Speaker 2: All right, thanks very call, Steve, appreciate it. Yeah, it is, Uh,

593
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 2: we understand as much as the next person. It's a

594
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 2: what have you done for me lately? Type operation in

595
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 2: the NFL. I mean, we see half a dozen coaches

596
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:51,719
Speaker 2: get fired every year for lack of performance. You know,

597
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 2: it's it's a performance based job. We all understand that

598
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 2: there's only one other team that's got more wins than

599
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:00,240
Speaker 2: the Bills over the last three years.

600
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:01,640
Speaker 3: It's the Chiefs, that's it.

601
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 2: Chiefs and the Bills are the only two teams with

602
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 2: ten wins or more in each of the last three seasons.

603
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 2: The record kind of speaks for itself. And I think

604
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 2: the most important thing that Sean McDermott said today is

605
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 2: I'm not without flaws. The guy's is self aware as

606
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 2: anybody that he's not perfect. And in this league where

607
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 2: competition is the stiffest it is. Maybe in any league,

608
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 2: if you're not perfect, sometimes you pay for it.

609
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 4: But nobody's perfect, yeah, and particularly when you get thrown

610
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 4: stuff that you really I mean, these guys spend like

611
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 4: McDermott's no different than all the coaches on his staff.

612
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 4: They're on their own path as well. They spend years

613
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 4: and years and years, decades sometimes getting ready to be

614
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 4: a head coach and earning their stripes and getting qualified

615
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 4: to be a guy in this seat, and then something like,

616
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 4: let's face it, something like the von Miller thing gets

617
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 4: dropped in his life. That's not what he's trained to do.

618
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 4: And I thought the way he handled von Miller questions

619
00:32:56,760 --> 00:33:00,719
Speaker 4: in today's press conference was stellar because he was pretty transparent.

620
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 4: They they are seeking knowledge, and I know that there

621
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 4: are people and certainly and to Steve in Orchard Parks.

622
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:13,200
Speaker 4: You know, then people on social media like I will

623
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 4: never watch this team again, as if von Miller is

624
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 4: actually living on the team or employed by the club,

625
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 4: I'll never watch another game for the Buffalo Bills ever

626
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 4: in the history of the world because they've got this guy.

627
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 5: On their team.

628
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 1: It's not that simple.

629
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 4: And I think Sean McDermott gave you an idea of

630
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 4: what the team is going through behind the scenes to

631
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 4: try and sort that situation out and find out what

632
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 4: happened and what's going on. I thought it was stellar

633
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 4: the way he handled it, and it was insightful, transparent,

634
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 4: and handled with a lot of grace and mercy for

635
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 4: all involved.

636
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 1: So I I.

637
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 4: You know, I And that speaks to what Steve from

638
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 4: Orchard Park was saying about the kind of head coach

639
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 4: the Bills have.

640
00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 1: He is he perfect? No self admitted that he's not

641
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:01,960
Speaker 1: are the team.

642
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 4: Is the team struggling this year? Absolutely, it's not the

643
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:06,959
Speaker 4: well struggling. They're five hundred compared to where they've been

644
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:10,640
Speaker 4: in the last three years. Yeah, it's a struggle, but

645
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:15,840
Speaker 4: I I am far from I am far from hopeless

646
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 4: about the way this team is going to turn out

647
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:21,799
Speaker 4: this year and in respect to that, and respect to that,

648
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 4: even in subsequent years after this one, going forward with

649
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 4: this guy as a head coach, I have no qualms

650
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 4: about doing that. I've seen what he can do, and

651
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:33,799
Speaker 4: from his press conference you can tell the level of

652
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:37,880
Speaker 4: commitment they have towards solving the issues.

653
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 1: That follow them.

654
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:39,880
Speaker 5: So there you go.

655
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm kind of with you.

656
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 5: Steve on that.

657
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 4: Ye from Orchard Park, not me.

658
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:47,439
Speaker 2: As well, said let's go check back in with Jim

659
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 2: and Lockport.

660
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 3: Jim, are you there now?

661
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:51,480
Speaker 9: Yes, I'm here. Can you hear me?

662
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:51,839
Speaker 5: Yes?

663
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:57,719
Speaker 9: Great? Say my prediction for the Bills. They're gonna win

664
00:34:57,760 --> 00:34:59,360
Speaker 9: out the last five games.

665
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:02,840
Speaker 3: Okay. And what makes you so confident.

666
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:07,920
Speaker 9: Jim, Because I'm seventy years old and I'm kind of facetious.

667
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 9: But the league wants to make money. It's all about money,

668
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 9: and everybody wants to see the Bills in the playoff,

669
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:16,440
Speaker 9: especially the NFL, and the referees are going to do

670
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:18,480
Speaker 9: whatever they could do to make the Bills win.

671
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:19,920
Speaker 3: Wow.

672
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 1: Wow, Well they certainly.

673
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 2: I have never heard a Bills fan convinced that they

674
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:29,920
Speaker 2: have the full support of the officials to get them

675
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 2: to a playoff.

676
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 1: Absolute refreshing take right there, buddy.

677
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:35,240
Speaker 3: That might be the most unique one I've ever heard.

678
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 1: Wow is I'll tell you what. The crew and Philly

679
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 1: did not get that memo.

680
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 2: They did not because the penalties were ten to one

681
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:44,400
Speaker 2: in favor of the Eagles.

682
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:46,880
Speaker 3: And that was just at halftime. Oh I finished eleven

683
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:47,319
Speaker 3: to four.

684
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:48,799
Speaker 1: Bless your heart, Jim.

685
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:52,360
Speaker 2: If there's a turnaround like that, Jim, more power to you.

686
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:54,920
Speaker 2: Let's go to Maureene and Clarence. What do you got

687
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 2: for US Marine?

688
00:35:56,680 --> 00:36:04,120
Speaker 17: Hi, guys, I really appreciate your showing Shawn's press conference today.

689
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:10,439
Speaker 17: From the time this man arrived on our scene, he's

690
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 17: always been of interest to me, and I've gone back

691
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 17: and read articles written in the hometown papers from where

692
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:24,920
Speaker 17: he's from and his upbringing, everything that brought him to

693
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:28,439
Speaker 17: this point in his life has been nothing more than

694
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 17: hard work, values, good family, and his faith. The article

695
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 17: was absolutely disgusting and the way it was, the way

696
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:50,440
Speaker 17: they portrayed him, it really almost brought tears to my

697
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:54,759
Speaker 17: eyes because I mean, I don't know him, you know

698
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:58,840
Speaker 17: in person, obviously, but I said, everything he has shown

699
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:04,040
Speaker 17: this city through the work that he's done, uh in

700
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:09,840
Speaker 17: bringing this team, this organization, UH back to credibility.

701
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:10,759
Speaker 16: Uh.

702
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 17: The fact that he talks to mars Levy, I think

703
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:19,959
Speaker 17: just about every week. They're of the same h love

704
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 17: for this team. And you can tell, you can tell

705
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 17: how this had to This had to be a dagger,

706
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:30,800
Speaker 17: a dagger in his heart, that this kind of stuff

707
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 17: is going around. When you when you listen to the

708
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 17: players talk about him, when you listen to anybody that

709
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 17: knows him, he is loved. He has loved and it's

710
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:45,960
Speaker 17: it's a it's pitiful that this article could garner up

711
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:51,240
Speaker 17: so much, so much stuff on social media. It's sickening.

712
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:54,560
Speaker 17: The one thing that I often thought of last year

713
00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:58,400
Speaker 17: after that whole the whole year had so many issues,

714
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 17: from the time the season started with Kim Pegoula's health

715
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 17: issues and then the weather problems that the team faced,

716
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:12,840
Speaker 17: and how he, how Brandon being, how they brought this

717
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:18,440
Speaker 17: team through the most difficult season, the most difficult season.

718
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:20,919
Speaker 17: To me, he should have been Coach of the Year

719
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:23,839
Speaker 17: just for the guidance that he was able to keep

720
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:27,839
Speaker 17: this team steady and going. You know, people focus on

721
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 17: such stupid things instead of looking at the big picture.

722
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:34,440
Speaker 17: And in my mind, this man should never leave. He

723
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:37,479
Speaker 17: should always be He should always be a coach here

724
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 17: in Buffalo until he wants to retire. Well, I'm sick

725
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 17: of I'm sick of listening to all these people calling

726
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 17: for his head after one loss here or one loss there.

727
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 17: It just people just don't get it. They just don't

728
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:50,839
Speaker 17: get it.

729
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:53,400
Speaker 4: Thank you for the call. I appreciate it. It's awesome

730
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:57,480
Speaker 4: stuff to say. I'll say this and I you know

731
00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:00,560
Speaker 4: you people probably can't guess how I feel about and

732
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:04,319
Speaker 4: all that. But even Marv ran his course and he

733
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:07,400
Speaker 4: did retire, no question, he walked away and got a

734
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:11,360
Speaker 4: chance to do that. Nobody is guaranteed a lifetime contract

735
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:13,279
Speaker 4: in the NFL. Sean mcdermot's one of them. You got

736
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:15,759
Speaker 4: to earn it, no question about it. I would say this,

737
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:18,520
Speaker 4: though there are so many coaches in this and the

738
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 4: head coaches aside and alike. It's and the head coach

739
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:25,840
Speaker 4: is important as he is. So is the ownership Terry Pagoula,

740
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:27,839
Speaker 4: so is the general manager, and Brandon Bean so are

741
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:31,759
Speaker 4: the staff that Sewan assembles and tinkers with year after year.

742
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 4: Like most NFL staffs get tinkered with year after year.

743
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:39,480
Speaker 4: Nobody gets a free pass for as long as they want,

744
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:43,440
Speaker 4: no matter what, because you gotta win games. Sean McDermott

745
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:46,759
Speaker 4: and this crew win a lot of games, a ton

746
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:51,840
Speaker 4: of games, and that's why he deserves to stay on

747
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:56,080
Speaker 4: as head coach. Certainly, we've had some bitter disappointments in

748
00:39:57,239 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 4: this franchise's history. I've been a part of a ton

749
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:05,560
Speaker 4: of the big ones. But in order to be bitterly disappointed,

750
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:09,319
Speaker 4: you have to have high expectations and a reason to

751
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:13,040
Speaker 4: think you have a right to expect to be in

752
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:17,319
Speaker 4: that spot. That Super Bowl, the AFC Championship Game, the playoffs,

753
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:21,080
Speaker 4: the division title, the wild card round. You have to

754
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:24,920
Speaker 4: reach a level that gives you a chance to be disappointed.

755
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:29,960
Speaker 4: Quite frankly, this coach and this regime, all of them.

756
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:32,040
Speaker 4: It's not just Sean McDermott, and he'll be the first

757
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:33,799
Speaker 4: to tell you that it's not. It's all those guys,

758
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:36,160
Speaker 4: even the ones that are bitterly disappointed that we're in

759
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:37,920
Speaker 4: the article, the ones that were here for a minute

760
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 4: now gone, they're all a part of it. They all

761
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:45,840
Speaker 4: would agree that they have a hand in trying to

762
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:48,759
Speaker 4: get there and give themselves a chance to be in

763
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 4: position to.

764
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 1: Get over that.

765
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 4: That, in and of itself is what this is all about,

766
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 4: giving yourself a chance all the time to be the

767
00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:00,719
Speaker 4: kind of franchise that is always in the competent, is

768
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 4: always in the conversation, always, And that's what it has

769
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:08,760
Speaker 4: been virtually since Sean McDermott took the Reins, he took

770
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:13,440
Speaker 4: the drought Bills and Tyrod Taylor to the playoffs.

771
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:17,680
Speaker 1: He can coach, he can coach.

772
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:22,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then did it for the next five years playoffs.

773
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:24,279
Speaker 3: We've got to take a break here.

Speaker 2: Com slash t s Tasker. This week's question comes from Brett,

789
00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:25,760
Speaker 2: who says, Steve, what is the biggest thing you learned

790
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 2: while playing under Marv Levy.

791
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:33,160
Speaker 4: I learned more than one thing, obviously, but one of

792
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 4: the important things I learned from Marv was integrity. It's

793
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:40,520
Speaker 4: interesting we picked this to It just came out of

794
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:43,520
Speaker 4: the blue and it was interesting that it came today,

795
00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:45,600
Speaker 4: this question came to It hadn't come in weeks before

796
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:49,920
Speaker 4: Marv had You know, we had guys on our staff,

797
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:52,120
Speaker 4: and Marv had the same coaching staff for a long time. Now,

798
00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:55,480
Speaker 4: Teddy Marsha Broda got hired away, Nick Nikolau got hired away,

799
00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:58,600
Speaker 4: you know, because they went and got better opportunity. They

800
00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:02,319
Speaker 4: got a coordinatorship and a head coaching jobs. But most

801
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 4: of the time that the staff was pretty intact. He

802
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:08,799
Speaker 4: brought Chuck Dickerson in and Chuck was a pretty good coach,

803
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:12,319
Speaker 4: and he liked it. And then and Marv was full

804
00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:15,240
Speaker 4: of He was as honest as the day is long.

805
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:18,520
Speaker 4: He told the truth to my knowledge, as long as

806
00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:20,200
Speaker 4: I know him. He still does when he's now that

807
00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:24,719
Speaker 4: he's ninety eight. And I learned that that was really

808
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:27,920
Speaker 4: important because at a certain point something happened in our

809
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:32,480
Speaker 4: team where the coach I mentioned left the team was fired,

810
00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 4: and it came out that he had been going sub

811
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:41,600
Speaker 4: sabotaging Marv's head coach, head coaching from within by talking

812
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:45,800
Speaker 4: to the owner behind Marv's back and trying to position

813
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:50,120
Speaker 4: himself as the head coach of the Buffalo bills. Marv

814
00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:54,799
Speaker 4: did nothing at the time, but when the when the guy,

815
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:57,959
Speaker 4: he gave the guy enough rope to hang himself, which

816
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:00,319
Speaker 4: he did, Marv released him and fired him. And then

817
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 4: the guy completed the betrayal by going on this radio

818
00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:05,839
Speaker 4: station years and years ago, you know, twenty five years

819
00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:10,000
Speaker 4: ago and assassinating the character of Marv and the coaching

820
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:12,400
Speaker 4: staff and the player. He completely betrayed all of us

821
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:16,319
Speaker 4: in this building with his everyday radio show.

822
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:18,560
Speaker 1: And he affected your job too, because you.

823
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:20,080
Speaker 4: Were working for the station back then too, and it

824
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:24,120
Speaker 4: was possible for you, right so, and Marv, I think

825
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:27,239
Speaker 4: he responded when when the media it was so outrageous

826
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:29,040
Speaker 4: that things the guy was saying and Marv wasn't would

827
00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:32,240
Speaker 4: not comment on. And finally Marv gave a short reply

828
00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:36,160
Speaker 4: to you know, ques the media question. The media was

829
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:39,240
Speaker 4: relentless and wanting Marv to fire back, and Marv refused

830
00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:41,799
Speaker 4: and refused and refuse to refuse, and finally he did

831
00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:46,040
Speaker 4: and gave a speech about, you know, defending himself.

832
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:47,120
Speaker 1: And so.

833
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:54,240
Speaker 4: That to me was the biggest lesson in character, perseverance,

834
00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:58,400
Speaker 4: and integrity I've ever witnessed, in the face of absolute

835
00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:01,840
Speaker 4: personal attack for no other reason than it was a

836
00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 4: personal vendetta, and for another reason that it was a

837
00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:09,160
Speaker 4: hugely public and an attempt to humiliate a really good man,

838
00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:15,359
Speaker 4: publicly humiliate him and really sabotage his career and his

839
00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:18,759
Speaker 4: life and the whole thing, His wife, his daughter, the

840
00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:21,520
Speaker 4: whole thing. They were after all of it, and he

841
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 4: refused to buckle and fight back and with anything but integrity, grace,

842
00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:29,600
Speaker 4: and forgiveness. I'll never forget it. It was something that really,

843
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:32,560
Speaker 4: for the longest time, and even to this day, I've

844
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:34,880
Speaker 4: never really spoken like this publicly about what happened to

845
00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:40,560
Speaker 4: Marv and Chuck Dickerson's attacks and the totally unfounded nature

846
00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:44,200
Speaker 4: of all of it. I've never really spoken publicly about it.

847
00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:49,440
Speaker 4: But I've never witnessed a greater example of character and

848
00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:54,440
Speaker 4: fortitude and courage and grace and mercy as well than

849
00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:56,000
Speaker 4: that that I did with Marv Leven when he was

850
00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 4: attacked in the same way the Chahn was yesterday. Marv

851
00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:03,160
Speaker 4: was at outstanding and Sean fell right into that mold

852
00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:07,520
Speaker 4: today at his press conference he spoke about himself, not

853
00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:12,960
Speaker 4: anybody else. It was an absolute great example of how

854
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:14,839
Speaker 4: all of us should be and strive to be better.

855
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:16,600
Speaker 4: It's difficult in the day and age in which we

856
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:19,640
Speaker 4: live now thirty years later, when social media it's all

857
00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:22,000
Speaker 4: one hundred percent one way or one hundred percent the other.

858
00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:25,839
Speaker 4: To see my head coach Marv.

859
00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:27,560
Speaker 5: Be that.

860
00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:33,839
Speaker 4: Resolute and full of grace and mercy and forgiveness and

861
00:46:35,719 --> 00:46:38,400
Speaker 4: just being above it all in the face of what

862
00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:45,479
Speaker 4: was an unbridled, farcical attack on his character. I thought

863
00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:49,080
Speaker 4: was maybe his greatest accomplishment as a coach. Even if

864
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:50,880
Speaker 4: he'd won four Super Bowls, it might have been his

865
00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:55,839
Speaker 4: greatest accomplishment and maybe his most important. So that's what

866
00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:57,680
Speaker 4: I learned. One of the things I learned from Marv

867
00:46:57,800 --> 00:47:01,200
Speaker 4: is integrity wins the day every time. And we got

868
00:47:01,239 --> 00:47:03,680
Speaker 4: an we got another reminder of that today in the

869
00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:05,759
Speaker 4: press conference that Sean McDermott did as well. So I

870
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:09,160
Speaker 4: was it was we never we'd never gotten a a

871
00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:11,799
Speaker 4: question like that in this no and it came out

872
00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:13,239
Speaker 4: and I thought, you know, this is a perfect time

873
00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:15,479
Speaker 4: for it. So that's what I learned it from Marv

874
00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:17,120
Speaker 4: and I and he still does. I had dinner with

875
00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:18,880
Speaker 4: him this last offseason in Chicago.

876
00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:20,040
Speaker 1: What a guy.

877
00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:27,000
Speaker 4: Uh, He's still the same humorous honest, full of integrity guy.

878
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:28,680
Speaker 4: He's one of the top five human beings you'll ever

879
00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:30,359
Speaker 4: get a chance to meet if you can indeed do it.

880
00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:34,880
Speaker 4: And I was really reminded starkly of that today when

881
00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:37,440
Speaker 4: I saw Sean McDermott do the exact same thing that

882
00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:39,640
Speaker 4: I saw my coach do twenty five years ago, thirty

883
00:47:39,719 --> 00:47:40,080
Speaker 4: years ago.

884
00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:40,839
Speaker 3: Hey, we say it.

885
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:43,320
Speaker 2: We say it around here a lot. I mean, Marv's

886
00:47:43,320 --> 00:47:45,319
Speaker 2: an American treasure. I mean, the guy is like.

887
00:47:45,640 --> 00:47:47,160
Speaker 1: He's an icon maning him.

888
00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:51,319
Speaker 4: He is great, and you know you and I I'm

889
00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:54,000
Speaker 4: glad I got a chance to say that about him

890
00:47:55,080 --> 00:47:56,319
Speaker 4: when he went in the Hall of Fame. I said,

891
00:47:56,320 --> 00:47:58,440
Speaker 4: he's on a Hall of Fame or football pro football hall.

892
00:47:58,560 --> 00:47:59,799
Speaker 4: He's a human race hall of Fame.

893
00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:00,319
Speaker 5: Uh.

894
00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:03,799
Speaker 4: You's just that kind of guy. And I'm glad I

895
00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:06,160
Speaker 4: got a chance to say that about him, because it's

896
00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:10,400
Speaker 4: my calling to you and begin to view his integrity.

897
00:48:10,719 --> 00:48:14,919
Speaker 4: It also encapsulates the million other great lessons I learned

898
00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:17,520
Speaker 4: from him about how to handle people, how to be,

899
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:24,399
Speaker 4: how to think, how to keep your priorities straight and

900
00:48:24,600 --> 00:48:28,880
Speaker 4: work hard and prepare and all that. So yeah, I

901
00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:32,319
Speaker 4: appreciate the question. Thank you and and it was and

902
00:48:32,719 --> 00:48:34,400
Speaker 4: thank you for the question today and particularly on a

903
00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:36,440
Speaker 4: day then when it meant a lot. Uh, and it

904
00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:38,520
Speaker 4: was pretty pertinent to what's going on here.

905
00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:41,200
Speaker 2: Let's go back to the phones quickly before the break

906
00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:42,480
Speaker 2: and go to Steve and Amhurst.

907
00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:45,839
Speaker 3: What do you got for a Steve, Good afternoon, guys.

908
00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:48,400
Speaker 10: Thanks for taking my call. I appreciate you both, and

909
00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:50,560
Speaker 10: I appreciate all the stuff you've been weighing in here

910
00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:54,560
Speaker 10: on with McDermott and with Miller and everything. I want

911
00:48:54,560 --> 00:48:55,919
Speaker 10: to touch on a couple of things I've been holding

912
00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:57,480
Speaker 10: for like thirty minutes, so like I've heard a lot

913
00:48:57,480 --> 00:48:58,920
Speaker 10: of calls come in and I want to, you know,

914
00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:00,799
Speaker 10: some of the stuff I wanted to talk about might

915
00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:03,799
Speaker 10: have changed a little bit based on that, you know,

916
00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:06,600
Speaker 10: to touch base on what's going on with McDermott. You know,

917
00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:09,719
Speaker 10: I've always been a fan of his because of his integrity,

918
00:49:09,760 --> 00:49:12,960
Speaker 10: because of his faith, because of the way he handles himself.

919
00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:17,680
Speaker 10: And you can see not only what McDermott means to people,

920
00:49:17,719 --> 00:49:20,160
Speaker 10: but based on the last couple of callers, I believe

921
00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:24,560
Speaker 10: it was other Steven Orchard Park and Maureen and Clarence.

922
00:49:24,600 --> 00:49:27,880
Speaker 10: I think she's you can tell the love that Bill's

923
00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:30,839
Speaker 10: fans have for their team and a lot of them

924
00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:34,440
Speaker 10: for their coach, and McDermott is one of those guys

925
00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:36,440
Speaker 10: that I was gonna say, and you just said it,

926
00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:41,120
Speaker 10: Steve is McDermott exemplified. I haven't listened to every response

927
00:49:41,160 --> 00:49:44,320
Speaker 10: for McDermott, like word for work, but I don't believe

928
00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:47,600
Speaker 10: he's attacked or fought back to Dune Tyler don once.

929
00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:51,880
Speaker 10: I believe he's kept everything and owned it and apologized

930
00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:54,560
Speaker 10: and done what he's needed to do, and that to

931
00:49:54,680 --> 00:49:59,120
Speaker 10: me goes way further from anything. And when it regards

932
00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:03,400
Speaker 10: to social media, I feel like negativity in social media,

933
00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:07,440
Speaker 10: when it comes to stuff like this is magnified over

934
00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:11,239
Speaker 10: the positivity, you know, like McDermott owning this and all that.

935
00:50:11,600 --> 00:50:14,040
Speaker 10: You know, all the negative stuff gets way more magnified.

936
00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:17,840
Speaker 10: And social media magnifies everything tenfold nowadays compared to what

937
00:50:17,880 --> 00:50:20,520
Speaker 10: it used to be. So that's the one thing I

938
00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:24,040
Speaker 10: have on McDermott. I am behind McDermott and I'm glad

939
00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:26,319
Speaker 10: he's our coach, and I hope one day we can

940
00:50:26,320 --> 00:50:28,520
Speaker 10: put all this stuff behind us and focus on winning,

941
00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:30,600
Speaker 10: because that's obviously why we're all fans. We want to

942
00:50:30,600 --> 00:50:33,200
Speaker 10: see a super Bowl. And the last thing, it's just

943
00:50:33,200 --> 00:50:36,560
Speaker 10: a simple thing on Josh Allen. When the Bills started

944
00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:38,719
Speaker 10: the season, I remember hearing a lot of stuff how

945
00:50:38,719 --> 00:50:42,279
Speaker 10: they wanted to save Josh Allen, save him for the playoffs,

946
00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:45,399
Speaker 10: save him, you know, from getting injured. And we saw

947
00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:48,839
Speaker 10: what that did is it led to six losses, and

948
00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:50,439
Speaker 10: then it came down to the point where like, okay,

949
00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:53,120
Speaker 10: are we really like we have to make the playoffs

950
00:50:53,120 --> 00:50:56,200
Speaker 10: to be able to use Josh Allen, So let's stop

951
00:50:56,280 --> 00:50:58,440
Speaker 10: saving him. I mean, obviously, I feel like he has

952
00:50:58,480 --> 00:50:59,919
Speaker 10: just as much a chance to get injured in the pot

953
00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:03,040
Speaker 10: he does scrambling. So I'm really excited that they've kind

954
00:51:03,040 --> 00:51:06,120
Speaker 10: of unleashed him. And uh, I'm pumped to see them,

955
00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:08,200
Speaker 10: you know, win four for the next five games and

956
00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:10,440
Speaker 10: or maybe five of the next five games and make

957
00:51:10,440 --> 00:51:12,840
Speaker 10: a playoff run. So they are going to be a

958
00:51:12,880 --> 00:51:16,840
Speaker 10: scary team at the playoffs. And right now, like that

959
00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:19,560
Speaker 10: one guy said about the Bills being a money maker,

960
00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:23,640
Speaker 10: Quarterbacks draw a crowd, and not many other teams have

961
00:51:23,719 --> 00:51:26,520
Speaker 10: a starting quarterback right now going into the playoffs. So yes,

962
00:51:27,160 --> 00:51:29,520
Speaker 10: that's all I gotta say I, guys, I love the

963
00:51:29,560 --> 00:51:32,319
Speaker 10: show and I appreciate you guys handling everything the way

964
00:51:32,320 --> 00:51:35,239
Speaker 10: you do with your integrity as well. You guys are

965
00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:37,560
Speaker 10: class acts and I appreciate you more than anything.

966
00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:40,160
Speaker 4: So thanks, guys, Thanks, thanks, thanks for hanging in there.

967
00:51:40,200 --> 00:51:43,279
Speaker 4: I know that some people hang on forever. Yeah I know,

968
00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:47,879
Speaker 4: and I feel bad, but yeah, yeah, it's Brownie's fault

969
00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:50,760
Speaker 4: because I don't have the fun.

970
00:51:51,239 --> 00:51:51,800
Speaker 1: That's fine.

971
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:52,799
Speaker 3: I'll take the heat.

972
00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:54,759
Speaker 2: We got to take a break here because when we

973

Speaker 2: It's Buffalo Bill's Radio.

978
00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:54,799
Speaker 1: This is One Bill's Live presented by Kalida Health.

979
00:52:55,440 --> 00:52:57,760
Speaker 3: All right, here we are hour number two on a Friday.

980
00:52:57,800 --> 00:52:58,960
Speaker 3: That can only mean one thing.

981
00:52:59,120 --> 00:53:02,880
Speaker 2: Senior producer from NFL Films, Great Cosell, joining us and

982
00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:06,120
Speaker 2: Greg's appearance on the show, presented by Scott Lonyard, an

983
00:53:06,160 --> 00:53:08,120
Speaker 2: official commercial site work partner.

984
00:53:08,480 --> 00:53:09,720
Speaker 3: Of the Buffalo Bills.

985
00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:14,640
Speaker 2: Well Greg in the break, some developments concerning player availability

986
00:53:14,719 --> 00:53:17,759
Speaker 2: in this one Bills and Chiefs, the Chiefs are going

987
00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:23,120
Speaker 2: to be without four starters linebacker Drew Tranquill, safety Brian Cook,

988
00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:30,279
Speaker 2: left tackle Donovan Smith, and running back Isaiah Pachecocheck, greg

989
00:53:30,360 --> 00:53:32,440
Speaker 2: I don't have to tell you this, but for the

990
00:53:32,520 --> 00:53:36,680
Speaker 2: sake of this question, he has been instrumental in keeping

991
00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:40,600
Speaker 2: that offense on schedule. Knowing how much they have struggled

992
00:53:40,640 --> 00:53:43,959
Speaker 2: in the passing game to find consistency week to week,

993
00:53:44,440 --> 00:53:47,960
Speaker 2: how much could his absence mean in trying to keep

994
00:53:48,040 --> 00:53:49,320
Speaker 2: that offense on the rails.

995
00:53:50,920 --> 00:53:54,040
Speaker 12: That's a great point, Brownie, because the passing game has

996
00:53:54,080 --> 00:53:57,680
Speaker 12: been very up and down. Pachecko has been a real

997
00:53:57,840 --> 00:54:00,600
Speaker 12: sustaining element for this offense with the way in which

998
00:54:00,640 --> 00:54:04,200
Speaker 12: he runs. He is your classic sustaining back, the kind

999
00:54:04,239 --> 00:54:06,160
Speaker 12: of back that when it's blocked for three or four,

1000
00:54:06,280 --> 00:54:09,799
Speaker 12: gets seven or eight. He's physical, he's a tempo center.

1001
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:13,560
Speaker 12: He's that kind of back. So he's an attitude runner,

1002
00:54:13,640 --> 00:54:16,640
Speaker 12: and when past games are struggling and you really want

1003
00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:18,600
Speaker 12: to line up and try to move the football, you

1004
00:54:18,840 --> 00:54:21,439
Speaker 12: like to have an attitude runner, and he's that kind

1005
00:54:21,480 --> 00:54:24,200
Speaker 12: of back. Edwards Hilaire, who I assume will be his

1006
00:54:24,360 --> 00:54:26,640
Speaker 12: replacement is not that kind of player.

1007
00:54:27,600 --> 00:54:30,759
Speaker 4: What has been the issue with the Chiefs offense? We're

1008
00:54:30,840 --> 00:54:32,960
Speaker 4: used to seeing them hang thirty you know, and a

1009
00:54:33,040 --> 00:54:36,600
Speaker 4: half let alone thirty three times in a season. You know,

1010
00:54:36,680 --> 00:54:40,120
Speaker 4: what's the difference between Casey's offense this year as opposed

1011
00:54:40,160 --> 00:54:40,359
Speaker 4: to win?

1012
00:54:40,440 --> 00:54:41,600
Speaker 1: It was flying high.

1013
00:54:43,200 --> 00:54:46,560
Speaker 12: I think there's a number of factors involved, Steve, and

1014
00:54:47,040 --> 00:54:49,759
Speaker 12: you know, I can't get into Patrick Mahomes's head, but

1015
00:54:49,880 --> 00:54:53,400
Speaker 12: I will say this. I think, you know it's funny.

1016
00:54:53,719 --> 00:54:55,920
Speaker 12: Let me preface it this way. I spoke to a

1017
00:54:56,080 --> 00:54:59,520
Speaker 12: defensive coordinator, a former decoordinator who played against Mahomes for

1018
00:54:59,520 --> 00:55:02,040
Speaker 12: a number of years, and he volunteered to me. He said,

1019
00:55:02,080 --> 00:55:04,839
Speaker 12: you know, Mahomes is great, but Mahomes will always move

1020
00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:06,680
Speaker 12: when he doesn't have to move. That's just part of

1021
00:55:06,840 --> 00:55:09,239
Speaker 12: who he is and how he plays. And I think

1022
00:55:09,320 --> 00:55:12,680
Speaker 12: that that's even become worsened this year for this reason.

1023
00:55:12,920 --> 00:55:15,319
Speaker 12: Again without being in his head, but I don't think

1024
00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:19,239
Speaker 12: he's comfortable with the protection from his two offensive tackles. Now,

1025
00:55:19,360 --> 00:55:21,520
Speaker 12: Donovan Smith, you mentioned, is out this week, and we'll

1026
00:55:21,520 --> 00:55:24,080
Speaker 12: get to his replacement in a moment. But Donovan Smith

1027
00:55:24,120 --> 00:55:27,319
Speaker 12: and Jawan Taylor have not played particularly well in one

1028
00:55:27,360 --> 00:55:30,680
Speaker 12: on one pass protection, and my guess is he's very

1029
00:55:30,760 --> 00:55:34,480
Speaker 12: aware and very conscious of that, and so therefore, even

1030
00:55:34,560 --> 00:55:37,480
Speaker 12: though he's prone to move regardless even at his best,

1031
00:55:38,080 --> 00:55:42,800
Speaker 12: he's probably even more conscious. He's probably anticipating pressure and

1032
00:55:42,920 --> 00:55:46,200
Speaker 12: then perceiving pressure when it's not there. And he's been

1033
00:55:46,280 --> 00:55:50,120
Speaker 12: moving even more. And the special plays that have come

1034
00:55:50,200 --> 00:55:53,520
Speaker 12: off movement have not been as frequent this year because

1035
00:55:53,640 --> 00:55:56,320
Speaker 12: as look as you guys know, those plays do have

1036
00:55:56,440 --> 00:56:00,640
Speaker 12: an improvisation, random element to them. They're not strong shured plays,

1037
00:56:00,719 --> 00:56:03,799
Speaker 12: so there's no guarantee that they happen. Yeah, I also

1038
00:56:03,960 --> 00:56:06,840
Speaker 12: think I also think he's not been as sharp, just

1039
00:56:07,040 --> 00:56:10,000
Speaker 12: mentally in delivering the football when there are throws to

1040
00:56:10,120 --> 00:56:13,600
Speaker 12: be made. You know, keep in mind, for quarterbacks that

1041
00:56:13,760 --> 00:56:16,560
Speaker 12: move a lot, there's a very fine line. You see

1042
00:56:16,560 --> 00:56:19,640
Speaker 12: this with Josh Sometimes there's a very fine line between

1043
00:56:19,840 --> 00:56:23,480
Speaker 12: making second reaction movement plays and playing loose and at

1044
00:56:23,560 --> 00:56:26,720
Speaker 12: times without the discipline that's needed to play the position

1045
00:56:26,800 --> 00:56:30,640
Speaker 12: at a high level. And right now, Mahomes is leaving

1046
00:56:30,680 --> 00:56:32,200
Speaker 12: a few too many throws on the field.

1047
00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:35,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, no question about it. And it's evident you can

1048
00:56:35,560 --> 00:56:37,440
Speaker 2: see it. It's in their point production, it's in their

1049
00:56:37,440 --> 00:56:39,680
Speaker 2: completion percentage. I mean, run down the list of stats

1050
00:56:39,719 --> 00:56:41,759
Speaker 2: that you want. It's all there for you to chew on.

1051
00:56:42,160 --> 00:56:46,080
Speaker 2: What is ironic is Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes. Their

1052
00:56:46,160 --> 00:56:50,080
Speaker 2: two offenses are first and second in sacks allowed per play.

1053
00:56:50,440 --> 00:56:52,759
Speaker 2: So they're not getting they're not getting these guys on

1054
00:56:52,840 --> 00:56:55,600
Speaker 2: the ground. The Bills offensive line has been exemplary this

1055
00:56:55,719 --> 00:56:58,160
Speaker 2: year from a pass protection standpoint. You can't say the

1056
00:56:58,239 --> 00:57:01,560
Speaker 2: same for the Chiefs. And meanwhile, file Buffalo's defense is

1057
00:57:01,760 --> 00:57:04,319
Speaker 2: number one in sack percentage this year. So it's going

1058
00:57:04,360 --> 00:57:06,640
Speaker 2: to be a very interesting thing that we witness here.

1059
00:57:07,040 --> 00:57:09,520
Speaker 2: What can you tell us about the guy who's going

1060
00:57:09,560 --> 00:57:11,719
Speaker 2: to step in at left tackle, the rookie yan Ye

1061
00:57:11,840 --> 00:57:12,800
Speaker 2: Morris from Oklahoma.

1062
00:57:12,840 --> 00:57:14,680
Speaker 3: I believe he was a third round draft choice.

1063
00:57:15,680 --> 00:57:19,680
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean, few offensive tackle prospects in the twenty

1064
00:57:19,760 --> 00:57:22,960
Speaker 12: twenty three draft look the part more than Marris. I mean,

1065
00:57:23,040 --> 00:57:26,720
Speaker 12: this guy has prototypical size, Brownie. His arm length is

1066
00:57:26,840 --> 00:57:29,919
Speaker 12: over thirty five inches, He's got a wingspan of eighty

1067
00:57:30,040 --> 00:57:34,000
Speaker 12: five inches. I mean, his physical profile is absolutely off

1068
00:57:34,080 --> 00:57:37,800
Speaker 12: the charts. Keep in mind he came to the University

1069
00:57:38,360 --> 00:57:42,640
Speaker 12: of Tennessee as a big time five star recruit, and

1070
00:57:42,720 --> 00:57:45,160
Speaker 12: then he ended up transferring to Oklahoma where he played

1071
00:57:45,200 --> 00:57:48,320
Speaker 12: two years. So you're dealing with a guy that is

1072
00:57:48,400 --> 00:57:52,480
Speaker 12: really long limbed. He's powerful, he's flexible, he's got heavy hands.

1073
00:57:52,720 --> 00:57:55,120
Speaker 12: I mean, this is a guy that really looks like

1074
00:57:55,240 --> 00:57:58,800
Speaker 12: he could develop into a really good player, but there's

1075
00:57:58,840 --> 00:58:00,760
Speaker 12: a lot of technique ish shoes that he has to

1076
00:58:00,880 --> 00:58:03,520
Speaker 12: work through. He was often very late with his hands

1077
00:58:03,560 --> 00:58:07,040
Speaker 12: and task protection. He had some balance and body control issues.

1078
00:58:07,280 --> 00:58:10,440
Speaker 12: He didn't always play to the physical and athletic traits

1079
00:58:10,480 --> 00:58:13,720
Speaker 12: that he showed, but those physical and athletic traits were

1080
00:58:14,240 --> 00:58:17,160
Speaker 12: super high level. So he's probably not ready to be

1081
00:58:17,440 --> 00:58:20,080
Speaker 12: a big time player yet, but he certainly could develop

1082
00:58:20,120 --> 00:58:21,080
Speaker 12: into one down the road.

1083
00:58:21,400 --> 00:58:24,600
Speaker 4: And what else can you tell us about trends with

1084
00:58:24,720 --> 00:58:28,400
Speaker 4: this offense? Has Andy Reid, you know, started to evolve

1085
00:58:29,080 --> 00:58:31,680
Speaker 4: from where they've been in years past as a play caller,

1086
00:58:31,760 --> 00:58:35,960
Speaker 4: and you know, or is he kind of relegated to

1087
00:58:36,040 --> 00:58:38,160
Speaker 4: the personnel he's been dealt because of you know, the

1088
00:58:38,240 --> 00:58:39,800
Speaker 4: departures of Tyreek Hill and others.

1089
00:58:41,240 --> 00:58:43,920
Speaker 12: Yeah, you know, that's a very interesting question, Steve. I mean,

1090
00:58:44,400 --> 00:58:46,840
Speaker 12: you know it gets into that whole issue of how

1091
00:58:47,280 --> 00:58:52,680
Speaker 12: receivers impact the quarterback play. You know, and obviously you know,

1092
00:58:52,920 --> 00:58:55,680
Speaker 12: when a quarterback does not have receivers who are considered

1093
00:58:55,800 --> 00:58:57,880
Speaker 12: really good, you know, people like to say, well, the

1094
00:58:58,000 --> 00:59:01,400
Speaker 12: receivers are bad. You know, I think that's I don't

1095
00:59:01,400 --> 00:59:03,040
Speaker 12: want to say it's a cop out. I mean, there's

1096
00:59:03,160 --> 00:59:04,560
Speaker 12: some merit to that, but I think you have to

1097
00:59:04,600 --> 00:59:06,920
Speaker 12: be careful about making it seem as if that's the

1098
00:59:07,080 --> 00:59:11,959
Speaker 12: only reason. You know, you watched this offense. And again,

1099
00:59:12,040 --> 00:59:14,640
Speaker 12: I can't speak to how Mahomes feels about his receivers,

1100
00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:18,360
Speaker 12: but there's not many snaps here, Steve, in which Mahomes

1101
00:59:18,680 --> 00:59:21,040
Speaker 12: hits his back foot and delivers the ball within the

1102
00:59:21,080 --> 00:59:23,360
Speaker 12: structure of the play design. You don't see that a

1103
00:59:23,400 --> 00:59:27,320
Speaker 12: whole lot. So now you can become overly reliant on

1104
00:59:27,560 --> 00:59:30,640
Speaker 12: secondary action movement plays. And there's no question he can

1105
00:59:30,720 --> 00:59:34,000
Speaker 12: make those plays. And could he make five of them

1106
00:59:34,040 --> 00:59:36,440
Speaker 12: this week and be phenomenal. Sure he can. That can

1107
00:59:36,520 --> 00:59:40,800
Speaker 12: happen any given week. We know that, but those haven't

1108
00:59:40,880 --> 00:59:44,000
Speaker 12: happened with the frequency. So you know, one thing that

1109
00:59:44,120 --> 00:59:46,480
Speaker 12: happened it was two years ago. You guys may recall this.

1110
00:59:46,800 --> 00:59:48,840
Speaker 12: It was two years ago and Mahomes had a little

1111
00:59:48,880 --> 00:59:52,000
Speaker 12: bit of a rough stretch early in the season, and

1112
00:59:52,480 --> 00:59:56,760
Speaker 12: Andy Reid clearly went to a quick rhythm passing game

1113
00:59:57,000 --> 00:59:59,800
Speaker 12: to try to get him back playing with some sense

1114
01:00:00,200 --> 01:00:02,560
Speaker 12: of rhythmic timing, and it was effective and he got

1115
01:00:02,640 --> 01:00:05,840
Speaker 12: back on track. So we'll see if that's something that

1116
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:09,680
Speaker 12: they attempt to do. Don't forget this year. I mean,

1117
01:00:09,720 --> 01:00:11,560
Speaker 12: it's really been interesting about the Chiefs, and I'm not

1118
01:00:11,600 --> 01:00:15,160
Speaker 12: sure a lot of people are aware of this. Mahomes

1119
01:00:15,200 --> 01:00:18,560
Speaker 12: has the second most passing attempts of ten or less

1120
01:00:19,080 --> 01:00:21,400
Speaker 12: air yards in the NFL this year. They are not

1121
01:00:21,680 --> 01:00:24,840
Speaker 12: throwing the ball even at the intermediate levels, much less

1122
01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:25,680
Speaker 12: down the field.

1123
01:00:26,600 --> 01:00:29,480
Speaker 2: Let's flip it over to that Chiefs defense, which is

1124
01:00:29,560 --> 01:00:31,959
Speaker 2: playing very well and is probably the strength of their team.

1125
01:00:32,080 --> 01:00:35,000
Speaker 2: Now third in the league in points allowed, They're up

1126
01:00:35,040 --> 01:00:37,600
Speaker 2: in the top five in sacks. They play a very

1127
01:00:37,680 --> 01:00:41,440
Speaker 2: physical brand, particularly at the cornerback spots, jamming guys at

1128
01:00:41,480 --> 01:00:44,120
Speaker 2: the line of scrimmage. They like to beat up people's receivers.

1129
01:00:45,600 --> 01:00:48,760
Speaker 2: What is your assessment of their physical style of play

1130
01:00:48,800 --> 01:00:52,000
Speaker 2: in the way Spagnolo has them executing well.

1131
01:00:52,000 --> 01:00:53,920
Speaker 12: I'm glad you mentioned that Brownie, because that, to me

1132
01:00:54,200 --> 01:00:57,680
Speaker 12: is a critical piece. Coach Spags is a big believer

1133
01:00:58,120 --> 01:01:00,760
Speaker 12: in press. He does not want to get in today's

1134
01:01:00,840 --> 01:01:04,440
Speaker 12: NFL with so much quick game, so much timing and

1135
01:01:04,520 --> 01:01:06,800
Speaker 12: rhythm with the ball coming out in you know, one

1136
01:01:06,880 --> 01:01:10,040
Speaker 12: point five two seconds, he does not want to give

1137
01:01:10,160 --> 01:01:13,840
Speaker 12: those quick throws, those easy throws. So he believes that

1138
01:01:13,920 --> 01:01:18,360
Speaker 12: you disrupt by playing press, and that's his belief. They've

1139
01:01:18,360 --> 01:01:20,840
Speaker 12: been very, very good at it. Obviously. They made a

1140
01:01:20,880 --> 01:01:24,280
Speaker 12: big change this year where McDuffie has moved in and

1141
01:01:24,400 --> 01:01:28,720
Speaker 12: become the slot corner and Sneid stays outside. And McDuffie

1142
01:01:28,800 --> 01:01:31,640
Speaker 12: is a physical, competitive guy. He's very good in the

1143
01:01:31,720 --> 01:01:34,040
Speaker 12: slot and Sneid is one of the better corners in

1144
01:01:34,160 --> 01:01:38,680
Speaker 12: this league. So, and they're really good up front. I mean,

1145
01:01:39,240 --> 01:01:42,040
Speaker 12: that's where they're really good. They're very deep. They have

1146
01:01:42,120 --> 01:01:44,480
Speaker 12: a lot of good players, and they have players who

1147
01:01:44,480 --> 01:01:47,240
Speaker 12: are multi positional. So you know, Jones can line up

1148
01:01:47,280 --> 01:01:49,560
Speaker 12: inside or outside. He's lined up outside more this year

1149
01:01:49,640 --> 01:01:52,520
Speaker 12: than in previous years. Dan of fifty one line up

1150
01:01:52,560 --> 01:01:56,440
Speaker 12: inside or outside. Carl Loftus can line up anywhere. Omena

1151
01:01:56,480 --> 01:01:58,840
Speaker 12: who can line up anywhere. So they have a ton

1152
01:01:59,000 --> 01:02:04,040
Speaker 12: of positions, flexibility and versatility up front, and it's you know,

1153
01:02:04,480 --> 01:02:06,240
Speaker 12: they're a difficult team to play against.

1154
01:02:06,720 --> 01:02:10,400
Speaker 4: How does the Buffalo Bills offensive line matchup? They have

1155
01:02:10,480 --> 01:02:13,800
Speaker 4: played extremely well. They've played with five guys across the board,

1156
01:02:14,080 --> 01:02:18,120
Speaker 4: the same five all through the season. We noticed this

1157
01:02:18,280 --> 01:02:21,000
Speaker 4: last week the Bills their guard play has really been

1158
01:02:21,120 --> 01:02:23,960
Speaker 4: upgraded this year from a year ago. How does that

1159
01:02:24,120 --> 01:02:26,760
Speaker 4: match up work? And look to you, particularly since the

1160
01:02:26,800 --> 01:02:30,400
Speaker 4: Bill's under at least Joe Brady has started running the

1161
01:02:30,440 --> 01:02:31,960
Speaker 4: football really well.

1162
01:02:33,440 --> 01:02:35,600
Speaker 12: Yeah, and I think that has to me, that's been

1163
01:02:35,680 --> 01:02:38,840
Speaker 12: critical and to me, the next step in the evolution

1164
01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:41,280
Speaker 12: of this offense is to match the run game and

1165
01:02:41,320 --> 01:02:44,160
Speaker 12: the play action pass game even more, and then I

1166
01:02:44,200 --> 01:02:47,320
Speaker 12: think you really have something. But you know, we've talked

1167
01:02:47,400 --> 01:02:49,880
Speaker 12: for a number of years that they just needed to

1168
01:02:50,160 --> 01:02:52,240
Speaker 12: rely on the run game more and more volume. It

1169
01:02:52,320 --> 01:02:54,920
Speaker 12: can't be Josh Allen all the time, you know. And

1170
01:02:55,000 --> 01:02:57,520
Speaker 12: I think they played exceptionally well in their last game

1171
01:02:57,800 --> 01:02:59,919
Speaker 12: against an Eagles defense that has a lot of good

1172
01:03:00,160 --> 01:03:02,920
Speaker 12: players up front. So that, to me is where you

1173
01:03:02,960 --> 01:03:05,680
Speaker 12: could argue in this game, the rubber meets the road

1174
01:03:05,960 --> 01:03:08,640
Speaker 12: because this is a difficult defensive front to play against

1175
01:03:08,720 --> 01:03:10,840
Speaker 12: with the Chiefs, and the old line's going to have

1176
01:03:10,920 --> 01:03:13,760
Speaker 12: to be strong, not only strong in pass protection, but

1177
01:03:13,920 --> 01:03:15,720
Speaker 12: strong in the run game. They're going to need to

1178
01:03:15,880 --> 01:03:18,400
Speaker 12: run the ball to some degree. That doesn't mean they

1179
01:03:18,440 --> 01:03:20,280
Speaker 12: need to run for one hundred and seventy five yards

1180
01:03:20,760 --> 01:03:23,640
Speaker 12: or have forty a carries, but when they do run,

1181
01:03:23,680 --> 01:03:25,480
Speaker 12: they're going to need to have some success.

1182
01:03:25,840 --> 01:03:26,479
Speaker 5: It's a very.

1183
01:03:26,520 --> 01:03:30,080
Speaker 12: Difficult defense to play on third and long. Now, that

1184
01:03:30,280 --> 01:03:32,640
Speaker 12: might not sound like a brilliant statement, you know, because

1185
01:03:32,680 --> 01:03:34,960
Speaker 12: no defense obviously you don't want to be in third

1186
01:03:34,960 --> 01:03:38,560
Speaker 12: and long anytime. But Spags is a master on third

1187
01:03:38,600 --> 01:03:42,320
Speaker 12: and long. With all his late movement, all his disguised looks,

1188
01:03:42,560 --> 01:03:45,760
Speaker 12: and all of his pressures. He is a master at

1189
01:03:45,840 --> 01:03:50,280
Speaker 12: pressure and different kinds of pressure. That's difficult to account

1190
01:03:50,320 --> 01:03:52,120
Speaker 12: for and pick up, you know.

1191
01:03:52,360 --> 01:03:54,720
Speaker 2: And knowing that the Bills run game has seen a

1192
01:03:54,800 --> 01:03:57,520
Speaker 2: spike over the last three weeks, averaging one hundred and

1193
01:03:57,600 --> 01:04:01,440
Speaker 2: sixty five yards a game, that I mean Joe Brady

1194
01:04:01,480 --> 01:04:06,080
Speaker 2: has broken some tendencies of lag two here, Greg, because

1195
01:04:07,120 --> 01:04:09,000
Speaker 2: they're four hundred and ninety five yards of the last

1196
01:04:09,040 --> 01:04:11,480
Speaker 2: three games, second most in the league behind only Pittsburgh,

1197
01:04:11,600 --> 01:04:14,520
Speaker 2: and then they've led the league in rushing first downs

1198
01:04:14,560 --> 01:04:17,800
Speaker 2: over that stretch, number one, and then their third in

1199
01:04:18,080 --> 01:04:21,560
Speaker 2: rushing third down conversions when it was third and three

1200
01:04:22,320 --> 01:04:25,320
Speaker 2: or I mean this team was throwing the football. They

1201
01:04:25,400 --> 01:04:28,480
Speaker 2: broke some of those tendencies against Philadelphia two weeks ago.

1202
01:04:28,520 --> 01:04:30,000
Speaker 3: And got conversions.

1203
01:04:30,520 --> 01:04:33,560
Speaker 2: What does that do for an opposing defensive coordinator when

1204
01:04:33,600 --> 01:04:36,520
Speaker 2: they see tendency breakers like that in the previous game

1205
01:04:36,920 --> 01:04:39,160
Speaker 2: before they play an opponent. What is Spags thinking when

1206
01:04:39,200 --> 01:04:40,080
Speaker 2: he sees stuff like that.

1207
01:04:41,600 --> 01:04:43,960
Speaker 12: Well, that changes the way you might go about playing

1208
01:04:44,040 --> 01:04:47,320
Speaker 12: third and let's say two to four. Because you know,

1209
01:04:47,600 --> 01:04:49,360
Speaker 12: one thing that we've seen, and this has been a

1210
01:04:49,400 --> 01:04:52,400
Speaker 12: little league wide brownie. One thing I've noticed watching tape

1211
01:04:52,520 --> 01:04:54,040
Speaker 12: is it used to be if it was let's say

1212
01:04:54,080 --> 01:04:57,720
Speaker 12: third and four or less, and Steve can certainly you

1213
01:04:57,760 --> 01:05:01,680
Speaker 12: know know this, is that it was almost almost one

1214
01:05:01,720 --> 01:05:04,520
Speaker 12: hundred percent man coverage. You know, we'd immediately say that's

1215
01:05:04,560 --> 01:05:07,520
Speaker 12: a man down. But you know, defenses have started to

1216
01:05:07,560 --> 01:05:11,680
Speaker 12: play a lot more zone in third and shorter yardage situations,

1217
01:05:12,600 --> 01:05:15,080
Speaker 12: and it'll be interesting to see if that's what you know,

1218
01:05:15,360 --> 01:05:18,600
Speaker 12: Spags may do, because basically, on third down, you get

1219
01:05:19,320 --> 01:05:21,880
Speaker 12: you get four coverages from the Chiefs. On third down,

1220
01:05:22,160 --> 01:05:25,160
Speaker 12: you get cover two, you get two man, you get

1221
01:05:25,240 --> 01:05:28,240
Speaker 12: cover one and cover one robber. Now, those are all

1222
01:05:28,320 --> 01:05:31,360
Speaker 12: situational depending on the down and distance to feel location.

1223
01:05:31,880 --> 01:05:35,520
Speaker 12: But you're going to get one of those four coverages

1224
01:05:35,600 --> 01:05:38,280
Speaker 12: on third down. Now, he may change the way he

1225
01:05:38,360 --> 01:05:41,360
Speaker 12: wants to play that given what you just said, Brownie.

1226
01:05:41,480 --> 01:05:43,520
Speaker 12: And and by the way, I love the fact that

1227
01:05:43,560 --> 01:05:46,040
Speaker 12: they're doing that, because again you know how I feel.

1228
01:05:46,080 --> 01:05:48,920
Speaker 12: I love Josh Allen, but it can't be him. You

1229
01:05:49,040 --> 01:05:51,840
Speaker 12: can't rely on him, although he was pretty damn good

1230
01:05:51,880 --> 01:05:55,800
Speaker 12: against the egos, but rely on him for everything.

1231
01:05:57,200 --> 01:06:03,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right. If you get this, this game does

1232
01:06:03,120 --> 01:06:03,640
Speaker 1: come down to it.

1233
01:06:03,680 --> 01:06:06,960
Speaker 4: And I want to ask you and now it used

1234
01:06:06,960 --> 01:06:10,680
Speaker 4: to be a man down because you wanted an extra

1235
01:06:10,840 --> 01:06:13,720
Speaker 4: guy to be able to go into the box to

1236
01:06:13,800 --> 01:06:15,840
Speaker 4: stop the run game on a third and two when

1237
01:06:15,840 --> 01:06:18,040
Speaker 4: they actually get it. Now teams are so good at

1238
01:06:18,080 --> 01:06:21,440
Speaker 4: stopping the run, is so disciplined that they feel more

1239
01:06:21,560 --> 01:06:25,240
Speaker 4: comfortable being able to drop a guy out and cover

1240
01:06:25,400 --> 01:06:27,840
Speaker 4: up a quick throw. What is the trend do you

1241
01:06:27,960 --> 01:06:31,520
Speaker 4: think now? Is it still wor's the line of demarcation?

1242
01:06:31,640 --> 01:06:32,840
Speaker 1: I guess? Is my next question.

1243
01:06:32,920 --> 01:06:35,800
Speaker 12: Yeah, I think I think you're seeing you know, I

1244
01:06:35,840 --> 01:06:38,000
Speaker 12: think the reason a lot of teams didn't play, you know,

1245
01:06:38,240 --> 01:06:40,760
Speaker 12: zone on third and short is because there's always a

1246
01:06:40,880 --> 01:06:42,800
Speaker 12: void and they just didn't want to give up, you know,

1247
01:06:42,880 --> 01:06:46,560
Speaker 12: a quick forty yard throw and to avoid in his zone. Now, obviously,

1248
01:06:46,640 --> 01:06:49,080
Speaker 12: when you play against the Josh Allens of the world,

1249
01:06:49,320 --> 01:06:52,560
Speaker 12: you also have to be careful about playing man because

1250
01:06:52,680 --> 01:06:54,720
Speaker 12: unless you're going to spy or unless you're going to

1251
01:06:54,840 --> 01:06:57,960
Speaker 12: do other things that go along with playing man, because

1252
01:06:58,080 --> 01:07:00,680
Speaker 12: you know, you play man and start having everybody turn

1253
01:07:00,760 --> 01:07:03,360
Speaker 12: their back with receivers, you run receivers off and he

1254
01:07:03,520 --> 01:07:06,040
Speaker 12: runs and he gets a first down. I mean, look

1255
01:07:06,080 --> 01:07:09,640
Speaker 12: how well he ran the ball against the Eagles, you know.

1256
01:07:09,680 --> 01:07:12,240
Speaker 12: And he's obviously a master at that. That's his deal.

1257
01:07:12,360 --> 01:07:14,160
Speaker 12: He's really really good and maybe the best in the

1258
01:07:14,200 --> 01:07:17,880
Speaker 12: league at it. So you know, it's hard to say

1259
01:07:17,960 --> 01:07:20,720
Speaker 12: what Spags might do in those situations. But just to

1260
01:07:20,800 --> 01:07:23,280
Speaker 12: make the larger point that Brownie was making, I think

1261
01:07:23,360 --> 01:07:25,760
Speaker 12: it's a really good thing that the offense has become

1262
01:07:26,320 --> 01:07:29,800
Speaker 12: less predictable on third down in those kinds of situations,

1263
01:07:30,000 --> 01:07:32,880
Speaker 12: there's more to have to deal with for a defensive coordinator.

1264
01:07:34,440 --> 01:07:37,400
Speaker 2: We know that Tranquill is out for this game, and

1265
01:07:38,560 --> 01:07:41,480
Speaker 2: Cochrane had to step in for him last week, a

1266
01:07:41,640 --> 01:07:44,160
Speaker 2: far more inexperienced player than Nick Bolton, who has a

1267
01:07:44,280 --> 01:07:47,000
Speaker 2: chance to come off of IR and step right back

1268
01:07:47,080 --> 01:07:51,520
Speaker 2: into the lineup at middle linebacker. My question for you

1269
01:07:51,800 --> 01:07:56,600
Speaker 2: is how limited might Spagnolo be with play calling if

1270
01:07:56,680 --> 01:07:59,120
Speaker 2: Bolton can't play either and he has to rely on

1271
01:07:59,200 --> 01:08:02,080
Speaker 2: the younger player Cochrane to be his communicator out there

1272
01:08:02,160 --> 01:08:04,160
Speaker 2: on the field. I mean, it's a home game. Communication

1273
01:08:04,200 --> 01:08:06,400
Speaker 2: shouldn't be an issue, you know, all of that. Well,

1274
01:08:06,440 --> 01:08:08,600
Speaker 2: maybe it will be actually because the crowd will be noisy.

1275
01:08:09,920 --> 01:08:12,560
Speaker 2: But anyway, I guess what I'm asking is, if Cochran

1276
01:08:12,640 --> 01:08:16,000
Speaker 2: has to play, does it limit Spagnolo in the calls

1277
01:08:16,080 --> 01:08:18,120
Speaker 2: at all, counting on him to read it?

1278
01:08:20,280 --> 01:08:23,160
Speaker 12: That's very possible. The other thing I'd add to that

1279
01:08:24,080 --> 01:08:27,559
Speaker 12: is Brian Cook. Okay, he's out as well. Correct. Yes, yes,

1280
01:08:28,760 --> 01:08:32,040
Speaker 12: they are a heavy dime team. They play almost thirty

1281
01:08:32,120 --> 01:08:36,280
Speaker 12: percent of their defensive snaps in dime six defensive backs

1282
01:08:36,720 --> 01:08:39,800
Speaker 12: and the dime has been read Cook and Edwards. Okay,

1283
01:08:40,320 --> 01:08:43,640
Speaker 12: now with Cook out, they have Connor. Connor has been

1284
01:08:43,640 --> 01:08:46,360
Speaker 12: playing sort of in their big nickel, but Connor could

1285
01:08:46,439 --> 01:08:49,000
Speaker 12: if they want to continue to play dime and stay

1286
01:08:49,080 --> 01:08:51,240
Speaker 12: with what they've done, not just this year, but even

1287
01:08:51,320 --> 01:08:54,559
Speaker 12: in previous years under spags, then you could see Connor

1288
01:08:54,880 --> 01:08:57,639
Speaker 12: as the third safety in dying, but he hasn't played

1289
01:08:57,760 --> 01:09:00,439
Speaker 12: in that role. So now you're going, you know, you're

1290
01:09:00,479 --> 01:09:03,080
Speaker 12: reaching into the depth chart and you're putting someone in

1291
01:09:03,160 --> 01:09:06,880
Speaker 12: a position that they've not been asked to play this year.

1292
01:09:07,400 --> 01:09:10,800
Speaker 12: So or they stay nickel, in which case they're going

1293
01:09:10,880 --> 01:09:13,320
Speaker 12: to do things on third down that they also haven't

1294
01:09:13,360 --> 01:09:16,360
Speaker 12: done much of this year. So you know, we don't

1295
01:09:16,360 --> 01:09:18,320
Speaker 12: know the answer to those questions because we're not in

1296
01:09:18,360 --> 01:09:21,439
Speaker 12: their meeting rooms, but it's going to be different for them.

1297
01:09:21,960 --> 01:09:24,839
Speaker 3: And who is and who is the dime linebacker? Typically

1298
01:09:24,960 --> 01:09:27,360
Speaker 3: is it Chanelle or is it is it somebody?

1299
01:09:27,439 --> 01:09:28,959
Speaker 12: The dime linebacker was Tranquil?

1300
01:09:29,520 --> 01:09:32,120
Speaker 3: Oh boy, well yeah, so I'm I'm wondering who that's

1301
01:09:32,160 --> 01:09:33,080
Speaker 3: gonna be now too.

1302
01:09:33,640 --> 01:09:36,240
Speaker 12: Because the dime linebacker was Bolton and then it was Tranquil.

1303
01:09:36,439 --> 01:09:40,920
Speaker 12: So you know, my guess is my guess is it'll

1304
01:09:40,960 --> 01:09:41,639
Speaker 12: be Willie Gay.

1305
01:09:42,120 --> 01:09:45,360
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, yeah, they got some juggling to do on

1306
01:09:45,439 --> 01:09:48,000
Speaker 3: that back end. There. That's why I'm kind of intrigued

1307
01:09:48,040 --> 01:09:48,280
Speaker 3: by it.

1308
01:09:48,880 --> 01:09:51,880
Speaker 2: There is a chance, there is a chance Greg that

1309
01:09:52,080 --> 01:09:55,639
Speaker 2: Dawson Knox comes off IR and returns to the lineup

1310
01:09:55,720 --> 01:09:59,400
Speaker 2: this week. Obviously, that would afford Joe Brady the opportunity

1311
01:09:59,439 --> 01:10:03,519
Speaker 2: to diversify the offense even further as he comes off

1312
01:10:03,600 --> 01:10:06,600
Speaker 2: riz surgery practiced all week. He is listed as questionable,

1313
01:10:06,960 --> 01:10:08,920
Speaker 2: but coach mc dermot said he has a good chance

1314
01:10:09,360 --> 01:10:12,800
Speaker 2: of being activated for Sunday. What kind of changes could

1315
01:10:12,840 --> 01:10:15,720
Speaker 2: Joe Brady, you know, implement with him back in the

1316
01:10:15,960 --> 01:10:16,439
Speaker 2: in the fray.

1317
01:10:17,400 --> 01:10:18,519
Speaker 5: Well, here's what I'd love to see.

1318
01:10:18,760 --> 01:10:21,920
Speaker 12: Let's remember that that Josh Allens had great success against

1319
01:10:21,920 --> 01:10:24,880
Speaker 12: the Chiefs defense for the majority of his career, and

1320
01:10:25,000 --> 01:10:27,439
Speaker 12: some of that success, you know, I even went back

1321
01:10:27,479 --> 01:10:29,160
Speaker 12: and looked at last year's game and they had some

1322
01:10:29,320 --> 01:10:32,240
Speaker 12: success at a base personnel on first down. That might

1323
01:10:32,320 --> 01:10:34,519
Speaker 12: be a good way to attack this defense. Get them

1324
01:10:34,560 --> 01:10:37,000
Speaker 12: in base. You know, maybe Cochrane's on the field, you

1325
01:10:37,040 --> 01:10:40,120
Speaker 12: get the three linebackers. You get Chanall who's more of

1326
01:10:40,200 --> 01:10:43,480
Speaker 12: a box linebacker, and he was a pass rusher at Wisconsin,

1327
01:10:43,760 --> 01:10:47,599
Speaker 12: so he's not really an athletic linebacker outside the box. Area.

1328
01:10:47,840 --> 01:10:49,840
Speaker 12: Maybe you get them in their base, you line up

1329
01:10:49,880 --> 01:10:52,639
Speaker 12: in twelve personnel, you throw the ball on first down.

1330
01:10:52,960 --> 01:10:55,240
Speaker 12: You know that might be an opportunity, you know, to

1331
01:10:55,640 --> 01:10:59,439
Speaker 12: have some explosive plays. I remember last year they had

1332
01:10:59,520 --> 01:11:02,160
Speaker 12: digs for over thirty yards on a first down, and

1333
01:11:02,240 --> 01:11:04,040
Speaker 12: I believe they had Gilliam in the game at the time.

1334
01:11:04,280 --> 01:11:06,479
Speaker 12: But I mean, you could certainly do that with twelve personnel.

1335
01:11:07,400 --> 01:11:07,960
Speaker 1: Good stuff.

1336
01:11:08,400 --> 01:11:11,320
Speaker 2: Thanks Greg, Greg, thanks as always, appreciate the time. We'll

1337
01:11:11,360 --> 01:11:12,880
Speaker 2: catch up with you next week and we'll look for

1338

1340
01:11:18,400 --> 01:11:20,160
Speaker 12: They are and d they are in the show. Hey,

1341
01:11:20,200 --> 01:11:23,280
Speaker 12: it's one of the big games. One might say that

1342
01:11:23,400 --> 01:11:25,160
Speaker 12: this is kind of an important game for the Bills,

1343
01:11:25,160 --> 01:11:25,559
Speaker 12: would you.

1344
01:11:25,520 --> 01:11:28,360
Speaker 1: Say just a little bit? Ye, it could be construed

1345
01:11:28,560 --> 01:11:31,880
Speaker 1: as important, Yes, all right, Thanks Greg.

1346
01:11:31,920 --> 01:11:33,200
Speaker 3: We'll catch up for the next week, guys.

1347
01:11:33,240 --> 01:11:33,840

Speaker 2: course brought to you by Gabe's Collision. Gabe's Collision, the

Speaker 2: official auto collision repair center of the Buffalo Bills. Get

1363
01:12:29,080 --> 01:12:32,720
Speaker 2: back in the game and this week's featured matchup is

1364
01:12:34,000 --> 01:12:37,479
Speaker 2: Chiefs pass rusher George car Loftis, who leads the team

1365
01:12:37,560 --> 01:12:41,000
Speaker 2: with eight sacks against Spencer Brown. That's who's going to

1366
01:12:41,040 --> 01:12:45,200
Speaker 2: be lining up against one another on Sunday, and you

1367
01:12:45,280 --> 01:12:47,639
Speaker 2: know we talked about it on our podcast this week.

1368
01:12:47,720 --> 01:12:50,160
Speaker 2: Steve Spencer Brown probably having his best season in a

1369
01:12:50,200 --> 01:12:54,080
Speaker 2: Bill's uniform, but he's going up against a formidable power

1370
01:12:54,200 --> 01:12:57,479
Speaker 2: rusher in car Lofts who, in his second season, former

1371
01:12:57,520 --> 01:12:59,960
Speaker 2: first round pick, is really come into his own.

1372
01:13:00,240 --> 01:13:02,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I'll say this. I didn't realize this, but

1373
01:13:04,120 --> 01:13:06,000
Speaker 4: Greg Cosel just told us in the last segment. The

1374
01:13:06,080 --> 01:13:07,840
Speaker 4: Chiefs front is a lot like the Bill's front. They

1375
01:13:07,920 --> 01:13:10,640
Speaker 4: move guys around a lot. Even Chris Jones is now

1376
01:13:10,720 --> 01:13:13,439
Speaker 4: moving playing some outside rather than just insight, he's playing

1377
01:13:13,439 --> 01:13:15,800
Speaker 4: outside a lot more so, Spencer Brown could be up

1378
01:13:15,800 --> 01:13:21,360
Speaker 4: against Chris Jones, Carl Loftis, others, So that's something to

1379
01:13:21,479 --> 01:13:22,439
Speaker 4: be really wary of.

1380
01:13:23,000 --> 01:13:24,280
Speaker 1: The Bills offensive.

1381
01:13:23,920 --> 01:13:26,040
Speaker 4: Line is as good as any in the NFL right now,

1382
01:13:26,360 --> 01:13:30,040
Speaker 4: playing really well. Like you said, Spencer Brown, who might have,

1383
01:13:30,200 --> 01:13:35,160
Speaker 4: even with Osiris Torrents being a rookie, Spencer Brown might

1384
01:13:35,200 --> 01:13:37,120
Speaker 4: have been considered the weak link coming into the season.

1385
01:13:37,160 --> 01:13:38,760
Speaker 1: He's played great. He's played very well.

1386
01:13:39,360 --> 01:13:43,920
Speaker 4: And so they've had the same five guys for fourteen

1387
01:13:43,960 --> 01:13:47,920
Speaker 4: straight weeks two which is unusual. So they're a good

1388
01:13:47,960 --> 01:13:52,040
Speaker 4: group in their own right. That matchup, you're right, is huge.

1389
01:13:52,280 --> 01:13:54,559
Speaker 4: And the fact that Spencer Brown is out there against

1390
01:13:54,600 --> 01:13:58,240
Speaker 4: Carl Loftis, who's actually having a breakout year, Yeah, it

1391
01:13:58,280 --> 01:14:00,280
Speaker 4: says a lot. I think how that matchup was on

1392
01:14:00,360 --> 01:14:02,559
Speaker 4: that side of the ball. The Bills offensive line against

1393
01:14:02,560 --> 01:14:07,280
Speaker 4: the Chiefs defensive front is the matchup of this game.

1394
01:14:07,560 --> 01:14:09,599
Speaker 4: Certainly you can you know their their offense and then

1395
01:14:09,640 --> 01:14:11,479
Speaker 4: against their defensive line whatever.

1396
01:14:11,800 --> 01:14:14,640
Speaker 1: But this is the one. It's strength on strength and

1397
01:14:16,040 --> 01:14:18,200
Speaker 1: you know that's where these games are won to lost.

1398
01:14:18,680 --> 01:14:22,040
Speaker 3: So that is Collision Course brought to you by Gabe's

1399

Speaker 4: and to have a appeal. Yeah, personal peel.

1419

1434
01:16:02,600 --> 01:16:07,679
Speaker 2: general manager Brandon Bean at the close of practice today,

1435
01:16:08,240 --> 01:16:10,840
Speaker 2: just met with the media on the fly. Felt it

1436
01:16:10,960 --> 01:16:14,000
Speaker 2: necessary to address, you know, some of the things the

1437
01:16:14,120 --> 01:16:18,519
Speaker 2: character assassination piece on Sean McDermott and how coach McDermott

1438
01:16:18,520 --> 01:16:22,560
Speaker 2: handled it subsequently. So here is Bill's general manager, Brandon.

1439
01:16:22,320 --> 01:16:25,479
Speaker 19: Be Sean yesterday and maybe if you could just your

1440
01:16:25,600 --> 01:16:29,720
Speaker 19: reaction as one of the leaders in this organization.

1441
01:16:29,920 --> 01:16:32,760
Speaker 5: As far as what Sean had to say, okay.

1442
01:16:32,640 --> 01:16:35,599
Speaker 19: Yesterday, and and you know, obviously his comments going back,

1443
01:16:35,760 --> 01:16:36,880
Speaker 19: you know this is four years now.

1444
01:16:37,160 --> 01:16:40,880
Speaker 20: Yeah, Now, obviously you know, when you're in leadership positions,

1445
01:16:41,880 --> 01:16:43,200
Speaker 20: you got a lot of people looking up to you,

1446
01:16:43,280 --> 01:16:46,040
Speaker 20: and none of us are perfect. Okay, And I think

1447
01:16:46,080 --> 01:16:48,599
Speaker 20: Sean acknowledged that. I thought, you know, I went into

1448
01:16:48,640 --> 01:16:50,160
Speaker 20: the team meeting yesterday. I think he talked to you

1449
01:16:50,200 --> 01:16:53,920
Speaker 20: guys first went in the team meeting, and I thought

1450
01:16:53,960 --> 01:16:57,200
Speaker 20: it was very authentic. I thought the guys all saw

1451
01:16:57,280 --> 01:16:59,320
Speaker 20: that and felt that. And no, Sean for who he is.

1452
01:16:59,680 --> 01:17:02,040
Speaker 20: And think you guys that have been around here some

1453
01:17:02,240 --> 01:17:06,160
Speaker 20: years know who Sean's character is. And and I'll stand

1454
01:17:06,200 --> 01:17:07,479
Speaker 20: by his character every day of the week.

1455
01:17:08,280 --> 01:17:10,560
Speaker 11: You know, the big assertion in this story, I'm not

1456
01:17:10,640 --> 01:17:12,880
Speaker 11: sure that if you read it, but you know, Sean

1457
01:17:13,040 --> 01:17:15,240
Speaker 11: indicated that it was an attack on his character, but

1458
01:17:15,439 --> 01:17:19,160
Speaker 11: twenty five former players coaches that basically the theme of

1459
01:17:19,240 --> 01:17:21,560
Speaker 11: it was, there's been a lack of accountability within the

1460
01:17:21,680 --> 01:17:22,719
Speaker 11: organization from Sean.

1461
01:17:23,280 --> 01:17:25,600
Speaker 5: Has that been your experience with him? No, No, no,

1462
01:17:25,760 --> 01:17:26,200
Speaker 5: not at all.

1463
01:17:27,160 --> 01:17:30,040
Speaker 20: Listen, this is a tough business and in the positions

1464
01:17:30,120 --> 01:17:34,080
Speaker 20: that we're in, sometimes people don't leave here, you know,

1465
01:17:34,200 --> 01:17:36,120
Speaker 20: thrilled with the reason or agree with the reason, and

1466
01:17:37,280 --> 01:17:40,080
Speaker 20: you know it's just you know, it's unfortunate. You would

1467
01:17:40,160 --> 01:17:42,920
Speaker 20: love for everyone to leave here smiling and happy and

1468
01:17:43,439 --> 01:17:46,600
Speaker 20: and it's a competitive business. And again sometimes you have

1469
01:17:46,680 --> 01:17:47,639
Speaker 20: to agree to disagree.

1470
01:17:48,200 --> 01:17:52,639
Speaker 5: But no, that's that's that's not how I would categorize Sean.

1471
01:17:52,439 --> 01:17:54,719
Speaker 6: In my eyes, Brandon, what have you seen from Sean

1472
01:17:54,840 --> 01:17:57,040
Speaker 6: kind of in the last day, like his reaction to it, Like,

1473
01:17:57,240 --> 01:17:59,360
Speaker 6: what have those conversations been like between the two.

1474
01:17:59,720 --> 01:18:03,800
Speaker 20: Yeah, I mean he's hurt and he's human, and you know,

1475
01:18:04,520 --> 01:18:06,840
Speaker 20: just like when your family members down or something's happened,

1476
01:18:06,880 --> 01:18:09,559
Speaker 20: that's you just put your arms around and support him

1477
01:18:09,560 --> 01:18:12,719
Speaker 20: and support his family and and just trying.

1478
01:18:12,479 --> 01:18:14,960
Speaker 5: To work through this. It's it's obviously been a tough week.

1479
01:18:16,120 --> 01:18:18,840
Speaker 20: Vaughn had his situation that we were working through and

1480
01:18:18,920 --> 01:18:22,240
Speaker 20: then you know, this just dropped yesterday, and so we'll

1481
01:18:22,280 --> 01:18:22,800
Speaker 20: just work through it.

1482
01:18:23,120 --> 01:18:25,920
Speaker 5: You know, we're kind of used in this business dealing with.

1483
01:18:25,960 --> 01:18:29,600
Speaker 20: Adversity, and I think we've had our fair share. I

1484
01:18:29,640 --> 01:18:31,760
Speaker 20: think we're ready to move on and play football. And

1485
01:18:31,800 --> 01:18:33,639
Speaker 20: I know the guys are excited to get to Kansas

1486
01:18:33,680 --> 01:18:34,360
Speaker 20: City on Sunday.

1487
01:18:34,520 --> 01:18:37,360
Speaker 2: How much has Terry been involved in this challenging week

1488
01:18:37,439 --> 01:18:38,080
Speaker 2: in those.

1489
01:18:38,000 --> 01:18:40,960
Speaker 20: Conversations, Yeah, Sean and I talked to him regularly, and

1490
01:18:41,080 --> 01:18:44,120
Speaker 20: so he's very up to speed, from the minute we

1491
01:18:44,240 --> 01:18:48,040
Speaker 20: learned about the situation with Vaughn to to when Derek

1492
01:18:48,120 --> 01:18:50,760
Speaker 20: let us know about this yesterday, and we got on

1493
01:18:50,840 --> 01:18:52,280
Speaker 20: the horn with Terry right away, and so.

1494
01:18:52,640 --> 01:18:55,759
Speaker 5: He's very involved and and he's up to speed.

1495
01:18:56,000 --> 01:18:58,120
Speaker 19: Were you aware of these comments from Sean during this

1496
01:18:58,240 --> 01:18:59,960
Speaker 19: meeting priority yesterday?

1497
01:19:00,439 --> 01:19:04,439
Speaker 20: No, I had heard about something offhand, but I really

1498
01:19:04,479 --> 01:19:07,479
Speaker 20: I don't. I'm not in the team meetings. And by

1499
01:19:07,560 --> 01:19:10,880
Speaker 20: the time I heard something you know, was said or whatever,

1500
01:19:11,320 --> 01:19:16,000
Speaker 20: he had already called him together and and kind of,

1501
01:19:16,720 --> 01:19:19,639
Speaker 20: you know, try to repair it and apologize. However he did,

1502
01:19:19,760 --> 01:19:21,800
Speaker 20: so I didn't. I was not at the meeting, and

1503
01:19:21,840 --> 01:19:25,240
Speaker 20: I did not hear the apology then talking Yes.

1504
01:19:25,680 --> 01:19:28,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, were you in the meeting yesterday at all, which

1505
01:19:28,280 --> 01:19:29,400
Speaker 6: Ching addressed the team came?

1506
01:19:29,520 --> 01:19:30,400
Speaker 11: What was that like?

1507
01:19:30,800 --> 01:19:33,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, That's what I was saying earlier. He's he was

1508
01:19:33,360 --> 01:19:33,840
Speaker 5: very authentic.

1509
01:19:33,880 --> 01:19:35,160
Speaker 20: I mean, I don't want to get into the words,

1510
01:19:35,200 --> 01:19:40,519
Speaker 20: but very real, as as he generally is with the guys.

1511
01:19:40,560 --> 01:19:45,760
Speaker 20: And yeah, same thing. Just you know, when something comes

1512
01:19:45,800 --> 01:19:47,880
Speaker 20: out like this, a lot of players were not here.

1513
01:19:47,960 --> 01:19:50,640
Speaker 20: We know, the roster turns over, so I think he

1514
01:19:50,760 --> 01:19:53,599
Speaker 20: just kind of went back through that situation to make

1515
01:19:53,680 --> 01:19:56,479
Speaker 20: sure and offered up, does anyone have any questions?

1516
01:19:56,800 --> 01:20:00,320
Speaker 5: And he was very vulnerable, and you know, I know that, guys.

1517
01:20:01,360 --> 01:20:04,559
Speaker 20: I think it, you know, without speaking to every single player,

1518
01:20:04,880 --> 01:20:08,240
Speaker 20: I think it resonated and and like like this team

1519
01:20:08,280 --> 01:20:10,000
Speaker 20: always does, the guys are gonna rally around him.

1520
01:20:10,600 --> 01:20:13,920
Speaker 19: You referenced earlier the week that it's been, it's been,

1521
01:20:14,439 --> 01:20:16,960
Speaker 19: there's been a lot going on here. How much of

1522
01:20:16,960 --> 01:20:19,200
Speaker 19: a distraction is this for the team And how confident

1523
01:20:19,280 --> 01:20:21,400
Speaker 19: are you that this locker room and the players in

1524
01:20:21,439 --> 01:20:23,920
Speaker 19: there still believe in their head coach?

1525
01:20:24,280 --> 01:20:26,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, No, I think they very much believe.

1526
01:20:26,160 --> 01:20:30,599
Speaker 20: And if there was a bunch of questions or back

1527
01:20:30,680 --> 01:20:33,200
Speaker 20: and forth yesterday, I've been in team meetings where not

1528
01:20:33,320 --> 01:20:36,840
Speaker 20: everyone's on the same page and when it's an open forum,

1529
01:20:38,439 --> 01:20:41,160
Speaker 20: and there was there was none of that, And there

1530
01:20:41,240 --> 01:20:43,240
Speaker 20: was none of that coming out of the meeting. No

1531
01:20:43,360 --> 01:20:45,800
Speaker 20: one was, you know, grabbing me on the side or

1532
01:20:45,880 --> 01:20:48,920
Speaker 20: coming to my office separately or anything like that. You know,

1533
01:20:49,000 --> 01:20:53,720
Speaker 20: I think he he handled a very tough situation, you know,

1534
01:20:53,880 --> 01:20:56,000
Speaker 20: owned up to you know, the mistake of it.

1535
01:20:56,160 --> 01:20:59,600
Speaker 5: And I thought he was very vulnerable, which you know,

1536
01:20:59,680 --> 01:21:00,560
Speaker 5: people respect that.

1537
01:21:01,000 --> 01:21:03,920
Speaker 20: And if you can't sit up there and read off

1538
01:21:03,960 --> 01:21:06,720
Speaker 20: of a card or a statement, that's you can, but

1539
01:21:06,840 --> 01:21:10,639
Speaker 20: I don't think it's as genuine. And so my comments

1540
01:21:10,680 --> 01:21:13,560
Speaker 20: to him afterward were just to support him, and and

1541
01:21:13,680 --> 01:21:14,559
Speaker 20: I know it's tough.

1542
01:21:14,479 --> 01:21:17,360
Speaker 21: And I thought you handled the best you could going

1543
01:21:17,400 --> 01:21:19,160
Speaker 21: off that in lights of the comments, I mean, where

1544
01:21:19,200 --> 01:21:22,960
Speaker 21: was there people in the organization that have felt differently

1545
01:21:22,960 --> 01:21:23,479
Speaker 21: about Sean?

1546
01:21:23,520 --> 01:21:23,600
Speaker 5: Now?

1547
01:21:23,680 --> 01:21:25,639
Speaker 21: Do you still feel like people in this organization look

1548
01:21:25,720 --> 01:21:27,840
Speaker 21: to Sean as the head coach of the Buffalo Bill,

1549
01:21:27,920 --> 01:21:30,280
Speaker 21: someone they can trust as well people outside the locker rooms,

1550
01:21:30,680 --> 01:21:35,880
Speaker 21: specifically people front staff members, people will work around the

1551
01:21:35,920 --> 01:21:38,280
Speaker 21: facility who you know are invested in this team just

1552
01:21:38,320 --> 01:21:39,200
Speaker 21: as much as you guys are.

1553
01:21:39,560 --> 01:21:44,400
Speaker 20: No, it's I think everyone understands that we're all human

1554
01:21:44,800 --> 01:21:49,160
Speaker 20: and I've made mistakes. You know, if you're in these

1555
01:21:49,200 --> 01:21:52,120
Speaker 20: positions long enough, you're going to do things or lead

1556
01:21:52,160 --> 01:21:54,599
Speaker 20: people or say something that you're like, you know, damn,

1557
01:21:54,640 --> 01:21:56,280
Speaker 20: I wish I wish I had that back.

1558
01:21:56,560 --> 01:21:59,600
Speaker 5: And you know, I think it's how you handle it

1559
01:22:00,000 --> 01:22:01,040
Speaker 5: if people are going to follow you.

1560
01:22:01,320 --> 01:22:04,479
Speaker 20: And if if Sean was deflecting it onto someone else

1561
01:22:04,600 --> 01:22:07,920
Speaker 20: and not himself, then maybe maybe it wouldn't be the

1562
01:22:07,960 --> 01:22:11,000
Speaker 20: same response. But I have no doubt that the players

1563
01:22:11,080 --> 01:22:14,160
Speaker 20: and the staff and support staff that you're talking about

1564
01:22:14,680 --> 01:22:17,800
Speaker 20: are all behind him and behind this team, all right.

1565
01:22:17,840 --> 01:22:21,240
Speaker 2: So that's general manager Brandon Bean just voicing his support

1566
01:22:21,320 --> 01:22:25,679
Speaker 2: and basically confirming that, you know, Sean after he addressed

1567
01:22:25,680 --> 01:22:27,880
Speaker 2: the media late yesterday afternoon, went right into a team

1568
01:22:27,920 --> 01:22:30,240
Speaker 2: meeting and addressed the team about that very subject as well,

1569
01:22:30,360 --> 01:22:33,240
Speaker 2: just to make sure everybody understood what the whole situation

1570
01:22:33,439 --> 01:22:35,840
Speaker 2: was about and how he chose to handle it. And

1571
01:22:36,800 --> 01:22:39,599
Speaker 2: by Brandon's a County handled it with flying colors.

1572
01:22:39,840 --> 01:22:42,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've you'd imagine.

1573
01:22:42,439 --> 01:22:44,200
Speaker 4: I'm I don't want to make light of it at

1574
01:22:44,240 --> 01:22:47,320
Speaker 4: all because it's serious, but I can imagine some of

1575
01:22:47,360 --> 01:22:48,800
Speaker 4: the new guys that are here that weren't here in

1576
01:22:48,800 --> 01:22:50,080
Speaker 4: two thousand and night here and go what what did

1577
01:22:50,080 --> 01:22:50,360
Speaker 4: he say?

1578
01:22:50,400 --> 01:22:51,439
Speaker 11: What? You know?

1579
01:22:51,520 --> 01:22:54,280
Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, okay, yeah, what are we talking about?

1580
01:22:54,360 --> 01:22:54,599
Speaker 3: Listen?

1581
01:22:54,640 --> 01:22:57,360
Speaker 4: I that's fine, but I got to I'm getting ready

1582
01:22:57,360 --> 01:22:59,080
Speaker 4: for the Chiefs. You know, I think it's a little

1583
01:22:59,080 --> 01:23:01,839
Speaker 4: bit like that for most of these guys. But nevertheless,

1584
01:23:01,960 --> 01:23:04,840
Speaker 4: it's important to put a drisks because most of these guys,

1585
01:23:04,920 --> 01:23:06,400
Speaker 4: you know, you're gonna go home and you're gonna run

1586
01:23:06,439 --> 01:23:08,320
Speaker 4: into the guy at the seven eleven. He's gonna, hey,

1587
01:23:08,360 --> 01:23:09,800
Speaker 4: what about this? You know, and he's got to have

1588
01:23:09,800 --> 01:23:13,000
Speaker 4: an answer. You want to prepare these guys for everything

1589
01:23:13,000 --> 01:23:15,120
Speaker 4: they're gonna face when they go out and talk to

1590
01:23:15,160 --> 01:23:20,519
Speaker 4: their wives, kids and people they know. Plus postgame comments,

1591
01:23:20,640 --> 01:23:23,559
Speaker 4: pregame comments. Some of these guys have media responsibilities they

1592
01:23:23,560 --> 01:23:26,360
Speaker 4: got to answer to, and they want to be prepared

1593
01:23:28,200 --> 01:23:34,439
Speaker 4: with with a real answer for all their responsibilities as well.

1594
01:23:34,520 --> 01:23:38,519
Speaker 4: So and it runs the whole spectrum. And Brandon's right,

1595
01:23:39,120 --> 01:23:41,760
Speaker 4: most of the guys are like sitting there. Nobody's like

1596
01:23:41,920 --> 01:23:43,639
Speaker 4: raising their hands saying, hey what about what about?

1597
01:23:43,680 --> 01:23:45,160
Speaker 5: What about? Coach?

1598
01:23:45,360 --> 01:23:50,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's like, yeah, exactly, And so that's that's and

1599
01:23:50,560 --> 01:23:52,960
Speaker 4: that's what Sean alluded to when he said the feedback

1600
01:23:53,000 --> 01:23:55,959
Speaker 4: I got was supportive, supportive.

1601
01:23:56,040 --> 01:23:59,240
Speaker 3: So yeah, let's squeeze in a phone call here real quick.

1602
01:23:59,280 --> 01:24:01,240
Speaker 3: We'll go to christiph thank for in Rochester. What do

1603
01:24:01,280 --> 01:24:01,519
Speaker 3: you got for?

1604
01:24:01,560 --> 01:24:05,720
Speaker 14: As Christopher Hey, never called you guys before, but two

1605
01:24:05,800 --> 01:24:08,080
Speaker 14: words for your show. You guys are a class act.

1606
01:24:09,240 --> 01:24:11,680
Speaker 14: I am calling in as a lifelong Lions fan, so

1607
01:24:11,800 --> 01:24:14,080
Speaker 14: I know all about misery and we got perfection of

1608
01:24:14,160 --> 01:24:17,479
Speaker 14: going over this season before everybody else did. But I

1609
01:24:17,560 --> 01:24:20,960
Speaker 14: grew up with a Bills family. Sean McDermott is simply

1610
01:24:21,200 --> 01:24:23,760
Speaker 14: the best thing to happen to the Bills since Marv Leeby,

1611
01:24:24,520 --> 01:24:28,040
Speaker 14: and I just I felt compelled to call in because again,

1612
01:24:28,080 --> 01:24:30,000
Speaker 14: I've got no skin in the game, so to speak,

1613
01:24:30,080 --> 01:24:32,920
Speaker 14: but I've seen the Bills history and I'm sitting there

1614
01:24:32,960 --> 01:24:37,320
Speaker 14: going you have the guy who turned everything around and

1615
01:24:37,439 --> 01:24:41,920
Speaker 14: brought you back in the right direction. He's an example

1616
01:24:41,960 --> 01:24:43,880
Speaker 14: of welcome adversity as a test of your resolve. I

1617
01:24:43,960 --> 01:24:46,200
Speaker 14: had a chance to meet him at a lacrosse tournament.

1618
01:24:46,280 --> 01:24:48,840
Speaker 14: His son and one of our sons were playing. The

1619
01:24:48,960 --> 01:24:52,920
Speaker 14: guy is true blue, genuine. I would just love to

1620
01:24:53,000 --> 01:24:55,559
Speaker 14: see everybody just kind of hey, take a step back,

1621
01:24:55,600 --> 01:24:58,559
Speaker 14: appreciate who in what you have, and let the man.

1622
01:24:58,520 --> 01:24:59,000
Speaker 16: Do his job.

1623
01:24:59,360 --> 01:24:59,559
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1624
01:25:00,080 --> 01:25:01,559
Speaker 14: Yeah, I think it's genuine as they come.

1625
01:25:01,880 --> 01:25:03,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, thanks, and I would agree with that.

1626
01:25:03,960 --> 01:25:07,080
Speaker 4: I here's the thing I get the let's move on

1627
01:25:07,160 --> 01:25:09,360
Speaker 4: because we don't think this guy's got that little extra

1628
01:25:09,439 --> 01:25:11,479
Speaker 4: bit at the end. And I would I continue to

1629
01:25:11,560 --> 01:25:15,519
Speaker 4: go back to this. Neither did Andy Reid in Philly. Yeah,

1630
01:25:16,960 --> 01:25:20,080
Speaker 4: these guys are ever evolving human beings as we all are.

1631
01:25:20,760 --> 01:25:24,639
Speaker 4: And McDermott's personal mantra has always been humble and hungry,

1632
01:25:24,720 --> 01:25:28,200
Speaker 4: trying to get better, trying to and you know, I

1633
01:25:28,280 --> 01:25:31,400
Speaker 4: would hate to And I've said this before, you're gonna

1634
01:25:31,520 --> 01:25:34,439
Speaker 4: if you if you do make a change, the new

1635
01:25:34,520 --> 01:25:36,880
Speaker 4: guy's gonna have a completely different set of lessons he's

1636
01:25:36,880 --> 01:25:38,479
Speaker 4: gonna need to learn in order to get to the

1637
01:25:38,560 --> 01:25:39,240
Speaker 4: next step.

1638
01:25:40,000 --> 01:25:40,360
Speaker 1: Nobody.

1639
01:25:40,680 --> 01:25:43,960
Speaker 4: It's rare that a guy comes in fully polished and ready,

1640
01:25:44,000 --> 01:25:47,320
Speaker 4: even if he's a veteran head coach, different ownership, different GM,

1641
01:25:47,439 --> 01:25:50,360
Speaker 4: different players, it's all different. He's got a even if

1642
01:25:50,400 --> 01:25:53,400
Speaker 4: he's a championship winning head coach. It's hard to transfer

1643
01:25:53,479 --> 01:25:56,920
Speaker 4: that over. And I would say, do you do that

1644
01:25:57,240 --> 01:25:59,240
Speaker 4: and take the chances on that the lessons the next

1645
01:25:59,280 --> 01:26:01,560
Speaker 4: guys are gonna has to learn are so small that

1646
01:26:01,600 --> 01:26:03,800
Speaker 4: he's gonna put you over the top right away. Or

1647
01:26:05,280 --> 01:26:09,439
Speaker 4: do you work with this guy knowing how far he's

1648
01:26:09,479 --> 01:26:12,000
Speaker 4: brought you, knowing how much different he is now, knowing

1649
01:26:12,080 --> 01:26:14,719
Speaker 4: all the outstanding stuff he has done to this point,

1650
01:26:15,080 --> 01:26:17,320
Speaker 4: do you try and get that last little bit out

1651
01:26:17,320 --> 01:26:21,960
Speaker 4: of him just to get over that's what you're talking about.

1652
01:26:22,040 --> 01:26:23,960
Speaker 4: And as we see, you know from our callers that

1653
01:26:24,040 --> 01:26:25,760
Speaker 4: one's like, I just don't think he's the and even

1654
01:26:25,800 --> 01:26:27,280
Speaker 4: on social media, I don't know if he's the guy,

1655
01:26:27,400 --> 01:26:29,760
Speaker 4: but he doesn't deserve this that kind of stuff. I

1656
01:26:29,760 --> 01:26:31,960
Speaker 4: don't know if he's the guy, but I don't know

1657
01:26:32,000 --> 01:26:34,120
Speaker 4: how you walk away from the success that the team

1658
01:26:34,160 --> 01:26:38,120
Speaker 4: has had under his watch. That's the question where this

1659
01:26:38,320 --> 01:26:38,800
Speaker 4: comes down to.

1660
01:26:38,920 --> 01:26:40,679
Speaker 2: And oh, by the way, we still have five games

1661
01:26:40,760 --> 01:26:42,960
Speaker 2: left to play, Like the season has not been etched

1662
01:26:43,000 --> 01:26:45,800
Speaker 2: in stone yet they have they underachieved at six and six.

1663
01:26:45,920 --> 01:26:48,280
Speaker 2: I think by most accounts, yes they have, But there's

1664
01:26:48,280 --> 01:26:51,000
Speaker 2: still five games to make it right, So let's let

1665
01:26:51,040 --> 01:26:52,760
Speaker 2: the five games play out, and then if you want

1666
01:26:52,800 --> 01:26:54,720
Speaker 2: to make your assessments from there, you have a right

1667
01:26:54,800 --> 01:26:55,400
Speaker 2: to your opinion.

1668
01:26:55,760 --> 01:26:56,720
Speaker 3: Let's take a break here.

1669
01:26:56,800 --> 01:26:58,640
Speaker 2: Steve and I wrap it up next with Vision to

1670
01:26:58,720 --> 01:27:00,880
Speaker 2: Victory on One Bill's Live, centered by Coalida Health.

1671
01:27:00,920 --> 01:27:18,160
Speaker 3: It's Buffalo Bills Radio. Visions of Victory.

1672
01:27:17,960 --> 01:27:21,720
Speaker 2: Presented by Atwell eyecare the official eye care provider of

1673
01:27:21,920 --> 01:27:25,040
Speaker 2: the Buffalo Bills. For me, obviously, you want to make

1674
01:27:25,120 --> 01:27:27,680
Speaker 2: this Chiefs team one dimensional on offense, and I think

1675
01:27:27,760 --> 01:27:31,000
Speaker 2: that task is a little bit easier now with Isaiah

1676
01:27:31,040 --> 01:27:34,040
Speaker 2: Pacheco out of this football game. I think the Bills

1677
01:27:34,120 --> 01:27:37,960
Speaker 2: can you know, kind of neutralize their run game. And

1678
01:27:38,520 --> 01:27:40,479
Speaker 2: I know it's crazy to say put it on Patrick,

1679
01:27:40,560 --> 01:27:42,720
Speaker 2: but his receivers have not come through for him. They

1680
01:27:42,840 --> 01:27:46,280
Speaker 2: lead the league in drops. It's not a good situation

1681
01:27:47,160 --> 01:27:49,479
Speaker 2: for them. So I think if they can do that

1682
01:27:49,840 --> 01:27:52,120
Speaker 2: and the offense gets some early points, now their pass

1683
01:27:52,200 --> 01:27:55,240
Speaker 2: rush can start chernin and get Patrick on the run.

1684
01:27:55,400 --> 01:27:57,679
Speaker 4: Yeah, the Chiefs were six and one in the first

1685
01:27:57,720 --> 01:27:59,880
Speaker 4: seven weeks of the season. They're two and three in

1686
01:27:59,880 --> 01:28:02,439
Speaker 4: the last five weeks, so they've started to sputter a

1687
01:28:02,479 --> 01:28:04,120
Speaker 4: little bit and it started to catch up to them.

1688
01:28:04,840 --> 01:28:07,120
Speaker 4: I do think their defense has been the strength of it,

1689
01:28:07,200 --> 01:28:10,000
Speaker 4: but they are hamstrung this week their offensive tackle. The

1690
01:28:10,040 --> 01:28:11,880
Speaker 4: Bills have to win the line of scrimmage on both

1691
01:28:11,920 --> 01:28:14,800
Speaker 4: sides of the ball, and if they do that, they'll

1692
01:28:14,840 --> 01:28:18,160
Speaker 4: be able to score enough points to out distance the Chiefs.

1693
01:28:19,080 --> 01:28:21,320
Speaker 4: And you could see now with the guys that they

1694
01:28:21,400 --> 01:28:24,720
Speaker 4: have on the sidelines. The Chiefs are gonna be hamstrung

1695
01:28:25,600 --> 01:28:27,920
Speaker 4: and the Bills have to get on top of them

1696
01:28:27,960 --> 01:28:31,960
Speaker 4: because of it. A fast start would go a long

1697
01:28:32,080 --> 01:28:34,160
Speaker 4: way in this game for either team.

1698
01:28:34,800 --> 01:28:37,200
Speaker 3: I don't want them to get into a field goal game.

1699
01:28:37,400 --> 01:28:41,680
Speaker 3: I mentioned this the other day. Harrison Butker perfect on

1700
01:28:41,840 --> 01:28:45,880
Speaker 3: the season twenty two of twenty two. His long this

1701
01:28:46,040 --> 01:28:52,120
Speaker 3: season steve sixty yards. Yeah, that's he's got a candy.

1702
01:28:52,200 --> 01:28:54,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I listen. I'm a big Tyler Bass fan.

1703
01:28:55,120 --> 01:28:57,200
Speaker 4: That doesn't scare me. What scares me is the fact

1704
01:28:57,240 --> 01:28:58,760
Speaker 4: that you get into a field goal game and all

1705
01:28:58,800 --> 01:29:00,800
Speaker 4: of a sudden somebody falls down. Well, now you're in

1706
01:29:00,840 --> 01:29:01,679
Speaker 4: a touchdown game.

1707
01:29:01,520 --> 01:29:03,400
Speaker 2: And we're only two weeks removed from a fifty nine

1708
01:29:03,479 --> 01:29:05,840
Speaker 2: yard game tying field goal. I don't need to live

1709
01:29:05,880 --> 01:29:06,240
Speaker 2: that again.

1710
01:29:07,080 --> 01:29:08,960
Speaker 3: I know exactly what you mean, and it has nothing

1711
01:29:09,000 --> 01:29:10,759
Speaker 3: to do with Tyler basks when it has everything.

1712
01:29:10,560 --> 01:29:12,360
Speaker 4: To do with But when you're in those field goal games,

1713
01:29:12,360 --> 01:29:14,960
Speaker 4: they're always tight, they're very closely contested, and then it

1714
01:29:15,040 --> 01:29:18,280
Speaker 4: comes down to a non call or a bad call,

1715
01:29:18,760 --> 01:29:20,840
Speaker 4: or a drop pass or a slip and fall and

1716
01:29:20,960 --> 01:29:25,919
Speaker 4: bad turf and you lose We've seen that a gazillion

1717
