4
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 1: of this year about Josh Allen, how he rises to

5
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 1: the occasion. The clutch gene didn't happen last week against

6
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 1: the blitz on slot from the Ravens. But the Bills

7
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,520
Speaker 1: can use an improve game and improve performance from their quarterback. Tonight,

8
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,559
Speaker 1: Welcome to Hinesfield in Pittsburgh. It's the Bills and the

9
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers. We're getting set for the coin toss. Hodges

00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 1: again has some time, gonna heave it way down fields.

11
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 1: White Dresser beat on it and makes the interception. He

12
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 1: picks it off. Steelers say he didn't get it, but

13
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:50,200
Speaker 1: the referee says he did. Gosh, in an empty set,

14
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 1: here's the snap, Steelers fresh for Allen has time fires

15

00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 1: of hounds. He's got the first down. Gosh, Allen gonna

17
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: take the shotgun, Snap takes it, hands off, Singletary finds

18
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 1: blocks left side, gets down there, the tin stops and

19
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 1: starts inside the tent inside the five headed down near

20
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: the end zone. He is stopped at the one yard line.

21
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: John's gonna keep it himself. He will sail into the

22
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 1: end zone touchdown, touchdown Buffalo Josh Allen from one yard out.

23
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: Bills around the scoreboard early in the second quarter as

24
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 1: they flank Hodges White left. The snap is low, but

25
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 1: they scoop it up and the passes tipped around. Let's

26
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: see that the Bills come up with an interception down

27
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: around the ten yard line. They do Buffalo ball snap,

28
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,039
Speaker 1: you're gonna throw it, gonna throw it. The conner makes

29
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 1: the catch at the ten, gets by one. Tacker heads

30
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: towards the end zone. He is in touchdown Pittsburgh. Hodges

31
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: takes the shotgun snap, looks to his right, fires that way.

32
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: This one is picked off. It is picked off down

33
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 1: the first sideline. It is Trenamous White trying to head

34
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: to the end zone inside the twenty and he gets

35
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: knocked out of bounds. Finally offset eye formation, but Josh's

36
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: gonna throw off the snap looking for jomp Brown down

37
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,040

50
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 1: Wallace comes up with a pick that should do it.

51
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 1: Get ready, Buffalo, Merry Christmas. The Bills are going to

52
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: the playoffs for the second time in three years. Amazing.

53
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:46,679
Speaker 1: What a game. That's what it looked like. That's what

54
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 1: it sounded like. The game rewind presented by Toshiba, the

55
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 1: official copy or company of the Buffalo Bills. And good afternoon, everybody.

56
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show One Bills Live. John Murphy was

57
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: Team Tasker Comedy Live from Arsenica Studio in Orchard Park.

58
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: Just got back from Pittsburgh. What a great win that was,

59
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: What a great achievement that is Steve two playoff appearances

60
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: in the last three years. Amazing, it is. It's It's

61
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 1: not what this town is used to, unfortunately. And I

62
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,239
Speaker 1: think you got to tip your hat to Sean McDermott,

63
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 1: Brandon being of course, and after their first hire of

64
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: Rex Ryan three years ago, five years ago, you tip

65
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: your hat to Kim and Terry Pogoula for you know what,

66
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: that's a working pulled the plug real quick and then

67
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: hired the guy, went in on those jobsters, found these guys,

68
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: brought him in and have kind of turned them loose

69
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: and then supported him. I you know, you talked about

70
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers and how stable their franchise has been.

71
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: Three head coaches over the last fifty one years. I

72
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: asked Dan Rooney before he passed away a few years ago,

73
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 1: and I talked to him and he said, what do

74
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: you do? How do you pick these head coaches where

75
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: you only have three of them in fifty one years?

76
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: He says, listen, you hire the smartest guy you can find,

77
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: and you support him until he figures it out. That's

78
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: what this team has done. They hired some really quality

79
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: people and they're supporting them. This new buildings a testament

80
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 1: to that, and everything around this atmosphere has been a

81
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: testament to that, and it's starting to pay dividends. I mean,

82
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 1: this is a really good football team here in Buffalo,

83
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: and it's tough to beat. Man with a bright future.

84
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: Really when you look at the cap and it looks sustainable, Yeah,

85
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 1: it looks sustainable. Look at the Patriots faltering. I want

86
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: to say a couple of things that occurred to me

87
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: over the last well last twelve hours, I guess, you know,

88
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 1: returning home late last night to two am, just around

89
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 1: two am, and there they were like four or five

90
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,559
Speaker 1: hundred bills fans at the airport and they're so happy

91
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 1: and happy to see those players getting off the plane.

92
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: And we're getting off the plane, you know, alongside with them,

93
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,600
Speaker 1: and just watching the reactions. And I'd spent a lot

94
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 1: of time looking at the faces of all those people

95
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 1: up against the fence, and there are so many young people,

96
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 1: and of course it's two in the morning, you know,

97
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 1: and they're gonna be a twenty thirty years old and're

98
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 1: not going to be any people our age the right, right,

99
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: it's just so good. I thought, there's a whole new

100
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: generation now, and I said this on the show a

101
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago. Maybe after the Dallas came a

102
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: whole new, younger generation of Bills fans who know what

103
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: it was like in the nineties and have their own

104
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: team and their own memories and their own huge games

105
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 1: to celebrate, and their own victories and appearances at the

106
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: airport to welcome the team back. You know, they were

107
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 1: so loyal this group, and I'm talking about this young

108
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 1: group now. Anybody thirty five years or older doesn't remember

109
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 1: what it was like when the Bills were good and competitive.

110
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: Five years or younger, Yeah, it doesn't remember what it

111
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 1: was like thirty I say, thirty five yet older, Yeah,

112
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: thirty five or younger don't remember what it was like

113
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,839
Speaker 1: when the Bills were, you know, in contention and competitive

114
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: and could go to Pittsburgh and win a game and

115
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 1: clinch a playoff spot on their own without help. And

116
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: to have that group so loyal to this franchise for

117
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 1: so long, to weather the storm doing that seventeen year

118
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 1: playoffter out now to be rewarded, I think is really

119
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: a significant step forward for the franchise. You know, the

120
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: Bills aren't going anywhere right there here, they're locked in.

121
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: But now they have a whole new generation of fans

122
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,280
Speaker 1: who are enjoying this and seeing how good it can

123
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 1: be and will be bonded to this team for a

124
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 1: long time, if not forever. And I really think that's

125
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: an important part, kind of a you know, it's it's

126
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 1: kind of a touchy feely thing, but I think that's

127
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 1: an important part of what's been accomplished here so far.

128
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,359
Speaker 1: This certainly we know here in Buffalo, this town and

129
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,479
Speaker 1: this team is has a special relationship. The size of

130
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: the town, the history with the team, um, and you

131
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 1: know the fact that they've struggled in this century. Um.

132
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 1: Like my son was, we're texting back before he's thirty two.

133
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:29,839
Speaker 1: He goes, this is only second time in my adult

134
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: life that they've been to the playoffs. And this is

135
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: a kid who grew up in the locker room, right

136
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: he was with me and Bruce, Jim Thurman and all

137
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 1: that and their kids and all that. We had all

138
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: these guys in the locker room. They were kids then

139
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: though they were it was dad's thing, and they were

140
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 1: kind of swept up in and now it's their team, right. Yeah,

141
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 1: Like Drew Hall, Kent, Holl's son was on Twitter light.

142
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:56,160
Speaker 1: I watched him and he is down down in Mississippi airpump,

143
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: you know, trying to air pump and go like because

144
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 1: he didn't want to wake the kids. Right. So, you know,

145
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: you got all these kids of that generation who you know,

146
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: finally can get their arms around a team that's worth

147
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,039
Speaker 1: cheering for and say, you know, well we're good. You know,

148
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: we got some respect, we got you know, we're a force.

149
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: And it looks like going forward, we're gonna be there

150
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: for a while. We got some things in place. There's

151
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 1: no guarantee, you know, who knows, but still something to

152
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: be really proud of it. And you're right, a whole

153
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 1: generation of Western New Yorkers and Bills fans everywhere now

154
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: can say, okay, you know now we're now we're in

155
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 1: on it. They've been they've been buying in based on

156
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 1: faith for more than a decade, really fifteen years or more.

157
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: You know, I believe maybe they'll get better. Maybe this

158
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: is the coach will turning around. Maybe that draft pick

159
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 1: will be the right guy. Maybe that's the franchise quarterback

160
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: who now they have tangible reward for their loyalty, and

161
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: I think it's great. I think it's one of the

162
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 1: most significant things that has happened this year. With much

163
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: you know, there's still a story this year isn't even

164
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: fully written yet right after the playoff clinching yet, And

165
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 1: you know the gravy is that what we know about

166
00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 1: this team and its culture, they're kind of work worthy

167
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: of it, you know what I mean, at least in

168
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: their character, in their way they they feel about each other,

169
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 1: and the way the work that they put in and

170
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 1: this head, this coaching staff and this general manager. They

171
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: seem to be a team despite the one lost record,

172
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 1: this team to be a team with their character that's

173
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 1: worth getting your arms around and you know, and making

174
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 1: part of the family, which is as we all know,

175
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: that's what this team is here in Western New York.

176
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: If you're if you're a member of the Bill's Mafia,

177
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 1: Bills fan base and people here in Western New York,

178
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: they're kind of part of the family. You don't call

179
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 1: them by their full name. You call them like this

180
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 1: is Josh and it's motor smoke. You know, you know

181
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,679
Speaker 1: these guys Tremaine, You know you don't trade trade a

182
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:42,839
Speaker 1: you know you don't you call them by their first names.

183
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,199
Speaker 1: People don't need to use their jersey numbers or anything

184
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: like that because they are part of the family. And

185
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: this is to the credit of Brandon being and Sean

186
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 1: mcgerman's part of their plan for the football side of it,

187
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: it also spills over to the fan side of it.

188
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 1: Makes you proud of them, and certainly they're playing on

189
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 1: the on the field has been worthy of it as well.

190
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 1: I just wanted to start with a how half am

191
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 1: for the fans, especially the younger fans who have not

192
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 1: had the reward for their loyalty and h there were

193
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 1: a lot of them last night in Pittsburgh, and a

194
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 1: lot of them, as I said, four or five hundred

195
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,959
Speaker 1: maybe at the airport last night, and maybe less of

196
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 1: an esoteric viewpoint of last night's game, the game itself

197
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 1: in the twenty nineteen Bills themselves, so we knew they

198
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: were a good defense right going into the year. We

199
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 1: knew they were going to be a good defense. Steve,

200
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 1: I'm telling you they're better now than they were a

201
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 1: month ago. They're certainly better now than they were in September.

202
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: They are still third ranked defense in the NFL. They've

203
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: been there for a month or so, but now this

204
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 1: defense has taken the ball away right the takeaways last

205
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 1: night the Bills. It didn't just start last night. Bills

206
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 1: have ten takeaways in their last five games to a game,

207
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: and last night, yeah, up against a you know, a

208
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,439
Speaker 1: quarterback who's having a rough go and we anticipated he

209
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 1: would Devlin Hodges, but he threw it up for grabs

210
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,679
Speaker 1: and the Bills grabbed it. And you add the takeaways

211
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: to the solid defense that they play. I think the

212
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: Steelers had like thirteen possessions and there were five or

213
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: six three and out series. I mean, they're they're good,

214
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 1: and they're getting better. And I would think every team

215
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 1: you'd said it, they're hard to play, they're tough to beat.

216
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 1: Every team in the NFL now would say, well, Buffalo,

217
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to go against that defense and find

218
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 1: some answers. That was a really good defense, the Steelers

219
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 1: defense last night. I mean, the Steelers were the team

220
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: that came in leading the league in takeaways, leading the

221
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,199
Speaker 1: league in a number of sex. The Bills got three

222
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,199
Speaker 1: more takeaways in them. When the Bills got three more

223
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,199
Speaker 1: sex than them. The Bills were the better defense last

224
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: night against a really, really good Pittsburgh Steelers defense. And

225
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,199
Speaker 1: the defense is better now that it was even a

226
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 1: month ago, and I'm pretty excited. I think the thing

227
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 1: that gets lost in this because in the big picture

228
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 1: it's hard to kind of keep track of a Tredavious White.

229
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: It's a better player than he was two years ago.

230
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 1: Tremaine Edmonds is a better player than he was last year.

231
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 1: Josh Allen is obviously better. Ed Oliver is better at

232
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: the second half at this point of the year than

233
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: he was in the beginning of the year. Cody Ford

234
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: is better, Devin Singletarry is better, all these players. Jordan

235
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 1: Phillips has found himself. It's Shack Lawson is playing better.

236
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: You can go down. And one of the thing this

237
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 1: team has been able to do is have not just

238
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: individual players, although I just named a bunch of guys

239
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 1: who are it is true for they get better all

240
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 1: the time, and individually they get better, and of course

241
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: as collective they're also getting better. They're a different team

242
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 1: than they were a month ago. They were a different

243
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 1: team a month ago than they were two months ago.

244
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 1: It has been a steady climb and I think whatever

245
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: they have on their this process thing that we all

246
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 1: talk about, which seems you know, it's this big blanket term,

247
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 1: it's working in player development. And I think in this

248
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,199
Speaker 1: next offseason it's going to be a lot of fun

249
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: to see them sort through who they resign, who they extend,

250
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: who they bring back, because I think one of the

251
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 1: great lines from the entire offseason of the Buffalo Bills

252
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 1: was uttered by Brandon Bean in that series called Embedded.

253
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: He says, players are going to notice who we pay,

254
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: and this has got They've got a lot of guys

255
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 1: who have worked very hard to be that guy on

256
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 1: that list that the Bills want to keep. I don't

257
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 1: think the Bills will shy away from paying guys that

258
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,320
Speaker 1: are in it. Turdavious White, I mean, good grief, what

259
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 1: are you gonna do? Let that guy walk? There's no way.

260
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 1: I mean, They've got guys who have gotten better and

261
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 1: better and better. And the culture is a big part

262
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: of it, and the atmosphere of professionalism and that mindset

263
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 1: that we kind of make fun of Sean McDermott for

264
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 1: saying all the time, it's true and it shows up.

265
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 1: Sean says, growth mindset a lot and that's one of

266
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 1: the things that people would kind of shrug and say,

267
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 1: what the heck does that mean? Well, it's time display

268
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:34,679
Speaker 1: you see what it means. They're better now than they

269
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 1: were a month ago, better than they were two months ago.

270
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 1: That's the growth mindset. They played better this week they

271
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: did last week. I mean, that's a week to week league,

272
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 1: and they could take a step back anyway. And this

273
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 1: game this week is I mean, good grief. Nobody goes

274
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: into New England and beats him at this time of year.

275
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 1: But the Bills, you know, you gotta think, okay, let's go.

276
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 1: I want to play. I want to see him play,

277
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 1: you know, I want to see that game. And I

278
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 1: think this team is not going to shy away from it.

279
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 1: I think it's this is a team that from the

280
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 1: from the moment Josh Allen took over starting quarterback and

281
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 1: started playing and starting spread his wings, and this defense

282
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 1: showed up like it has over the past season and

283
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 1: half season and two thirds. I can't wait to see

284
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 1: this team play. Yep, and there's something to play for.

285
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 1: Two Let's take a look at the standings. Now. You know,

286
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 1: the Bills have clinched right. The Bills with the fifth seed.

287
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 1: They are locked into the fifth seed now in the AFC,

288
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 1: at least the fifth seed they can they can't finish

289
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 1: lower than fifth. I should say that they have Clinton

290
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 1: their playoff berth and now they're two games they had

291
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 1: of Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh with their eight and six record after

292
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 1: the loss last night. Top two teams the ones with

293
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 1: the buyers right now Baltimore and New England. But the

294
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: Bills can still catch New England. They gotta beat him twice.

295
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 1: And the Patriots have to lose to Buffalo obviously and

296
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 1: then lose to Miami in week seventeen. And I'm not

297
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 1: ruling that out. By the way, Steve, I can't think

298
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 1: of a more enjoyable pregame scenario pregame before the Bills.

299
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 1: Let me stop laugh because I heard this kind of

300
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 1: tickles me. What go the Bills go to the Jets

301
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 1: game or the Jets coming here. That's Sunday, December twenty nine,

302
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: two weeks away, and the Bills crush them and they

303
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 1: have to beat the Jets. And by the same time,

304
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 1: we watch Ryan Fitzpatrick and the Dolphins beat the Patriots.

305
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 1: Who would you rather root for to beat the Patriots?

306
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 1: Just smiled. He would make Andy Dalton and the celebration

307
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 1: about Andy Dalton look like a piker, right, Fitzpatrick, they

308
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: direct a statue at Niagaras Square if he could finish

309
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 1: that off. Again, we're two weeks ahead of ourselves. Bills

310
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 1: have to win first this Saturday at New England. But

311
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 1: I can't think of a more enjoyable scenario than being

312
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 1: there watching the Bills play the Jets and keeping an

313
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 1: eye on the Dolphins game for the Patriots, and rooting

314
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 1: for Ryan Fitzpatrick to do the Bills. It would be

315
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 1: the ultimate look all the love and goodwill that Ryan

316
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick has generated and has been shown him from Buffalo.

317
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 1: That would be the ultimate payback, wouldn't it for he

318
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 1: and his Dolphins teammates to go into New England and

319
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 1: win that game in Foxborold. But we're ahead of ourselves.

320
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 1: Bills in good shape, right, can do no worse than

321
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 1: a fifth seed and maybe jump up and you know

322
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 1: who knows, knock off the Patriots getting in there right now.

323
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 1: If the season ended today, the Bills would go to

324
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 1: Houston and play the nine and five Houston Texans, who

325
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 1: were still in a battle with Tennessee for the AFC

326
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 1: South Bills played pretty wild at Houston a year ago,

327
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 1: Steve with a much less of a team, by the way,

328
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 1: I might add, and they lost their quarterback in the

329
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 1: middle of that game at Houston a year ago. I'm

330
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 1: just saying that was the game. Peterman threw a pick six,

331
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 1: but the Bills were ahead. He threw a touchdown and

332
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 1: then a pick and a pick six. Bills had the lead.

333
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson was come down with a less than two

334
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 1: minutes to go. The Bills knocked the ball out of

335
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: his hands and if it weren't for a loose ball

336
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 1: in the field, that was a scramble for the Bills.

337
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 1: Couldn't come up with. The Bills win that game. Of course,

338
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans won on the late field goal. That's

339
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 1: the one I keep talking about. They were they were

340
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 1: two plays away from eight nights to the six and ten,

341
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 1: And yeah, I don't think the Bills are gonna flinch

342
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 1: going in there. You're right, Murph. I'm it's it's fun

343
00:15:55,320 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 1: to think about now because now it's like, all right now,

344
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 1: it's a whole new set of problems that we deal

345
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 1: with on a week toweek basis. Now with two weeks

346
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 1: left in the regular season. What a fun place to be.

347
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 1: It's a great place to be in this place right

348
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 1: here's a great place to be. One Bills Drive player's

349
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 1: day off today. There are some filtering around. We're running

350
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 1: get one of them in studio here in about fifteen minutes.

351
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 1: Jordan Phillips. Another big game for Jordan Phillips last night.

352
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 1: He'll be joining us live here in studio at twelve thirty.

353
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 1: Chris Brown will be in at one o'clock Bills inside

354
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 1: of Buffalo Bills dot com. I want to talk to

355
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 1: Chris about something that he has prominently mentioned over the

356
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 1: last several months, and it goes to your point about

357
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: where the Bills are and how this season has happened

358
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 1: in this player development. Look, you gotta draft, you gotta

359
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 1: scout players, you gotta draft the ones you think you're

360
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 1: gonna be players, and that's not the end of it.

361
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 1: And I think for too long here and maybe still

362
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 1: in many other NFL outposts, it's like, well, we use

363
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 1: a draft pick on this guy and he's not performing.

364
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 1: Let's get somebody else. This Bill's team, this Pills franchise

365
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 1: now is committed to player development, working with guys to

366
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 1: get them better. Tradevious White first round pick, is a

367
00:16:57,960 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 1: different player now than he was a couple of years

368
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 1: ago when he was drafted, and he's just one example

369
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 1: of player development. This has been a big topic for

370
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 1: Chris Brown. We're going to talk with him about it

371
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 1: when he joins us at one o'clock. Eric Woods going

372
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 1: to join us on the line at two o'clock. He

373
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 1: made his way from Pittsburgh. He's making his way. I'm

374
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 1: sure he's still in the car from Pittsburgh back to

375
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: his home in Louisville. And we'll talk with Eric, my

376
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,399
Speaker 1: partner on Sundays for the games. He'll be joining us

399
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,640
Speaker 1: that's the headline. But other than making the playoffs last

400
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,160
Speaker 1: night clinching the spot, what were you most excited about

401
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 1: from last night's game? Give it some thought and give

402
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 1: us a call. Eighth three fifty toll free one eight

404
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,280

00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:29,639
Speaker 1: almost half of you forty five percent say you were

406
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 1: most excited about to play the Buffalo defense. The defense

407
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 1: continues to get better. I don't think there's any doubt

408
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 1: about that. With the takeaways yesterday, the fact that they've

409
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 1: got ten in their last five games. The defense is

410
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 1: getting better. They are more complete, they're making plays. Forty

411
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 1: five percent of you think that's the thing to be

412
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:51,679
Speaker 1: most excited about, other than making the playoffs. Twenty eight

413
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 1: percent of you say the fact that the Bills are

414
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,119
Speaker 1: still alive for the AFC East tie to look. I

415
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 1: know it's a long shot, It's an incredible long shot, right.

416
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 1: They have to win two. Pat have to win two.

417
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 1: The Patriots finished at home against Miami. I get it.

418
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,159
Speaker 1: But they're still alive with two games to play for

419
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 1: an AFC East title, and they can still take a

420
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 1: big step forward on their own behalf with a win

421
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 1: on Saturday afternoon in Foxborough. I'm excited about that, and

422
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:16,400
Speaker 1: twenty eight percent of you agree with that. Twenty one

423
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:19,680
Speaker 1: percent of you say another fourth quarter comeback for Josh Allen.

424
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 1: The Bills put up ten points to finish that game

425
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 1: last night, and Josh Allen led the way. He wasn't great.

426
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 1: In fact, he had his worst in terms of yardage,

427
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,880
Speaker 1: produced his worst game of the season last night Josh

428
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 1: Allen going thirteen to twenty five for one hundred thirty

429
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 1: nine yards, but a ten point recovery in the fourth

430
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 1: quarter gives the Bills a win. Twenty eight percent of

431
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 1: you say that's what you're most excited about, five percent

432

00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 1: See what would you put is get you most excited?

439
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 1: I thought Josh on fourth quarter comeback. That's the thing

440
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 1: about this team that we worry about the most is

441
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 1: their ability to score points. And yeah, as we've said,

442
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:12,159
Speaker 1: even in the it seems crazy now, but in the

443
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:13,959
Speaker 1: Dallas game, going into the Dallas game without wow, it's

444
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:15,640
Speaker 1: going to be too big a stage, right, It's gonna

445
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:19,120
Speaker 1: be big time. It's about it's Dallas on Thanksgiving Day

446
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 1: in Dallas, who are the guys gonna cringe? Well, quite

447
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 1: the opposite. Josh had the game of the year and

448
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,920
Speaker 1: same thing. This Sunday night, the whole city. The game

449
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 1: got flexed. It's two playoff teams, even in Pittsburgh loss,

450
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 1: and there's still the sixth seed in the playoffs. I mean,

451
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,159
Speaker 1: these are two good ball team ball clubs. And to

452
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 1: have Josh step up and you know what, and and

453
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: win it, I think that's big. This team has everything

454
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 1: under and I've said it, I said it earlier this season.

455
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 1: We haven't got back. They got enough under the hood

456
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,120
Speaker 1: to go all the way, but they got to start

457
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 1: playing more efficiently on offense. And that's why I think

458
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 1: that fourth quarter comeback is so important. I mean, and

459
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 1: here's what I mean. For instance, when I say inefficiently,

460
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 1: I think this is what we're talking about. Out early

461
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:04,119
Speaker 1: in the game, the Cole Beasley dropped right over the middle.

462
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 1: Not the one that was a tipped interception. There was

463
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 1: one earlier on a short over the middle, like kind

464
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 1: of a juke route where Josh gunned it in there

465
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:14,440
Speaker 1: and it went off his hands incomplete. John Brown coming

466
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,159
Speaker 1: across the middle, got two hands on the ball. He

467
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 1: kind of short armed. He thought he was gonna get hit.

468
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 1: That ball's on the ground. And then a couple of

469
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 1: plays later Josh skyrockets a ball over. I think it's

470
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,640
Speaker 1: John Brown on a little out route, almost the same

471
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 1: play they converted on the fourth and six. So it's

472
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 1: these these misplays that drops the overthrows on short completions,

473
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:36,879
Speaker 1: things like that that are plays to be made that

474
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:40,359
Speaker 1: they don't make. That's called that's inefficient. The plays that

475
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 1: are should be easy to make good or there that

476
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 1: they take the ball comes out on time, it's there

477
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,680
Speaker 1: to an open receiver. Those are the plays they've got

478
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:50,160
Speaker 1: to start making. And if they do, that game goes

479
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 1: a little differently. I think that game goes way further

480
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 1: in favor of the Bills. And until the Bills offense

481
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 1: can do that consistently, you know there it's gonna be

482
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 1: the seventeen point win. But if they do do it,

483
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 1: then it turns into a twenty four, twenty seven thirty

484
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 1: point game for offensively. And then with this defense, you're

485
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 1: talking about a pretty good ball club. I want two

486
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 1: things I want to say about the Buffalo offense. One,

487
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 1: we're so deep into the season, I'm not saying they

488
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 1: have given up on them being as productive as you like.

489
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,199
Speaker 1: And yes, they could be more efficient and make a

490
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 1: couple of tweaks and score more points. But I think

491
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 1: this is who they are. I think they're a limited

492
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:27,639
Speaker 1: offense for a variety of reasons, having to do with

493
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 1: quarterback play, with passing game effectiveness. Yes, they can make

494
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 1: more plays, but we're so deep into the season now,

495
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,200
Speaker 1: I guess I'm haven't given up on them, but I've

496
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 1: given up. I'm thinking there's going to be an explosion

497
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 1: one of these weeks. I don't think there will be,

498
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 1: and this weekend up against a very good New England defense,

499
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 1: not likely to happen here as well. Number two about

500
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 1: the Buffalo offense, they changed things up last night. I

501
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 1: mean they went into the game. They had played four

502
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,199
Speaker 1: previous games starting with them a game at Miami, right,

503
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 1: what was that November tenth, November seventeenth at Miami won three,

504
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:02,399
Speaker 1: lost one, and we're primarily eleven personnel, no huddle. Um,

505
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 1: you know, three receivers, one tight end, one back. Totally

506
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 1: changed up last night for a variety of reasons, including

507
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,199
Speaker 1: the fact that the Steelers defense was so good. The

508
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,360
Speaker 1: Steelers had great threats on the outside Bud Dupree and

509
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 1: t J. Watt, and they probably thought eleven personnel is

510
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:19,479
Speaker 1: not going to do it for us here tonight, and

511
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 1: so right from the start they had different personnel packages.

512
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 1: I was looking it up. Lee Smith got in on

513
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 1: almost half the snaps last night, forty eight percent of

514
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:28,159
Speaker 1: the snaps as the extra tight end. Very rarely was

515
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:30,440
Speaker 1: he the only tight end in the roster on the field.

516
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,640
Speaker 1: Rather he so they about fifty percent of the time

517
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 1: they had two tight ends on the field. They had

518
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,359
Speaker 1: Pat de Marco in on what twenty eight percent of

519
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:43,159
Speaker 1: the snaps? Did I see DeMarco was yet percent. They

520
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 1: were in a two back set, yeah, and a lot

521
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 1: of a lot of offset I stuff and DeMarco's end

522
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:50,399
Speaker 1: thirty eight percent of the time. So they had a

523
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,400
Speaker 1: totally different offensive approach and they still made it work.

524
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 1: And I think that's encouraging. I think it's a sign

525
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 1: of good coaching, by the way, from Brian Dabole, whom

526
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,159
Speaker 1: who had had a lot of fun I know he

527
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 1: is challenge obviously, when you go up against the defense

528
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 1: like that very well coach defense defense, Pittsburgh defense producing

529
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 1: sacks and takeaways. I mean that was a good challenge

530
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:13,160
Speaker 1: for the Bills and the Bills offensive thinker Brian Dable

531
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 1: and he responded, favorite part of the night last night, Steve,

532
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:17,879
Speaker 1: And I think it can't you know where I'm going

533
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 1: with this, no renegade stick? Oh yeah, so I think

534
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 1: did it come across on TV? I didn't see any

535
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 1: of the TV. Oh yeah, yeah, But did they talk

536
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:28,200
Speaker 1: about it? So fourth quarter a little bit? Yeah, fourth

537
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:31,120
Speaker 1: quarter the Bills you talked about it all last week too,

538
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 1: you saw it coming. Bills tied it up ten apiece,

539
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,880
Speaker 1: and uh, the Steelers got the ball and they went

540
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 1: three and out. Essentially, so the Bills get it back.

541
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:43,199
Speaker 1: Ten minutes ago, Buffalo in Pittsburgh tied to ten and

542
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 1: they start playing their theme song, Renegade by Sticks and

543
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:48,880
Speaker 1: the place goes nuts. It does every time I thought

544
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 1: they might do it going into the fourth quarter. It's

545
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,440
Speaker 1: a great little it's a great terrible song, a great tradition,

546
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,440
Speaker 1: and the place goes bananas. So what does Brian Dable do.

547
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 1: He dials up the long ball, a forty yard passed

548
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 1: to John Brown down the left sideline, and rennegade was over.

549
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:06,879
Speaker 1: The threat was over, and it was great. And talking

550
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:08,920
Speaker 1: to him afterwards, I think you got a big kick

551
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 1: out of that too, by the way, saying well that

552
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 1: was enough for Renegade. I guess that didn't last song.

553
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 1: That momentum they got from the plane that that stupid

554
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,119
Speaker 1: song was shut down by a forty yard pass from

555
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,919
Speaker 1: Josh Allen to John Brown. It was great, My favorite

556
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 1: part of the game. Listen, you're interesting too. McDermott and

557
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:29,200
Speaker 1: those coaching staff played that song during practice all last week,

558
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 1: so they got used to here and they and they

559
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 1: kind of prepared him for that moment and then when

560
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 1: it comes on, you're like, yeah, let's it was. It

561
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 1: was a reverse, right, so they used it for motivation

562
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,920
Speaker 1: for their own for their own team. They prepared him

563
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,919
Speaker 1: for Renegade. In Pittsburgh when that comes on, you know,

564
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:49,879
Speaker 1: let's turn the lights on, let's go. That's pretty crafty

565
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:52,399
Speaker 1: for a coaching staff to play that. And they played

566
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 1: that song Black and Yellow as well. The song that

567
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers use also is a hype song. That's

568
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 1: that's preparation for a team. And it's a preparation not

569
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 1: XS and os. It's preparation emotionally, it's preparation mindset, it's

570
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 1: it's preparation inspirational, and that's that's pretty cool. The players

571
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 1: noticed it. Josh Allen mentioned it in his postgame said, listen,

572
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 1: when that came on, it was it was for us,

573
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 1: it wasn't for them, And that was pretty cool to

574
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:28,159
Speaker 1: be ready for that. Yeah, that was great. All right,

575
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:29,640
Speaker 1: So we got a lot to talk about. We're gonna

576

Speaker 1: We're gonna take a break care when we come back.

582
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 1: Jordan Phillips is going to join us Bills defensive tackle.

00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:48,360
Speaker 1: Another big game for him. That's coming back. That's coming

Speaker 1: Just getting rolling One Bill's Live presented by Kalida Health

586
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 1: Life from the Seneca Studio, Seneca Resorts in Casino. Nothing

587
00:26:56,160 --> 00:27:12,399
Speaker 1: comes close in the stamp. I just cocked his arm,

588
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 1: fixed the throw, wrapped up and dropped. He is sacked

589
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 1: by Jordan Phillips back around the thirty four yard line.

590
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:21,680
Speaker 1: Big play, another big play over the Buffalo defense last

591
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 1: night in the winter for Pittsburgh and joining us the

592
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 1: author of that big play. Happy to have defensive tackle

593
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 1: Jordan Phillips and studied with us. Thanks for coming by, Jordan,

594
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 1: Thanks for having me. You're tired, right, Alou's are tired, right,

595
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,399
Speaker 1: a little tired. But you know when you get that

596
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 1: vitamin W you feel a little bit better, you know

597
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 1: what I mean. I mentioned Stevens. I don't know if

598
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,199
Speaker 1: you agree with this or not. I think this defense

599
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 1: is Buffalo defense is better now than you were a

600
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 1: month ago or at the beginning of the season. You

601
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:46,359
Speaker 1: guys have been better and you've been good all year

602
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 1: by the way, too, right, I mean, we appreciate it.

603
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 1: We still got a big task ahead of us this week.

604
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 1: It should be fun in New England. Yeah, there still

605
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:56,639
Speaker 1: is a lot on the table. There's got to be conversations.

606
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:58,920
Speaker 1: Probably on the plane back last night, you're talking about

607
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 1: what's left in front of you. A couple of weeks

608
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 1: in regular season and a chance to get into to

609
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:06,920
Speaker 1: get the AFC East, to get the divisions till maybe

610
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,879
Speaker 1: if you get the AFCAS, you get a home field game.

611
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 1: You know, that's that's that's a great apple to have

612
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:14,439
Speaker 1: out in front of you, to try and get one

613
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:16,399
Speaker 1: percent you know, but we're still going looking at it

614
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:19,159
Speaker 1: one game at a time, going, uh want to know

615
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 1: every week We've done some special things this year, but

616
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 1: nobody's satisfied. The defense has done a lot of good

617
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 1: things all year long, and now you're taking it away

618
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 1: right five last night's game. Ten takeaways by the Buffalo

619
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,399
Speaker 1: defense in the last five games. Did something change? Is

620
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:37,680
Speaker 1: there a change in mentality or focused trying to get

621
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 1: the ball out, the ball out, getting the ball out

622
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 1: of work? I don't, I don't know if was that it? Uh,

623
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 1: last night was just really personal for us. We felt challenged,

624
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 1: we felt disrespected. Um he came out and said that

625
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 1: we weren't anything special, you know, we were just just

626
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 1: another defense. What was it? I think it was my

627
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 1: have been Friday, And as soon as we heard that,

628
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 1: we knew what we needed to go do and I'm

629
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 1: happy we got that done. Jack Lawson was talking about

630
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 1: that in the locker room yesterday. And did anybody say

631
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 1: anything to Hodges after the game about that comment or

632
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 1: about how it motivated you? Uh? Not really. I think

633
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 1: as a name spoken enough for himself last night. Duck

634
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 1: and Cover. Yeah, but that deef that Pittsburgh team for

635
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 1: what they've been through and going in the game with

636
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 1: a quarterback like that, you still got a tip. That's

637
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 1: a really good team. They're still in the playoff mix

638
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 1: as well. Outside chance you could see him again and

639
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 1: you got that on you got that on the burner.

640
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 1: But really you're all about you got two games left

641
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 1: this week. You got a division game against the New

642
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 1: England Patriots. What do you remember about your first meeting?

643
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 1: I mean we had a showdown in Battle. It was

644
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 1: a defensive game and uh, I think they had what

645
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 1: they have four turnovers against us, and they played a

646
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 1: heck of a game and they came to to a

647
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 1: new era and put on a show. So hopefully we

648
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 1: can go to New England and uh do do kind

649
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:08,720
Speaker 1: of the same thing. What did you think of the atmosphere?

650
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 1: Had you ever played there when you were with the Dolphins.

651
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 1: Had you ever played in Pittsburgh before? Uh? Yeah, yes

652
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 1: I did. Um we made the playoffs. We played them

653
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 1: in the playoffs and got ran through. So it was

654
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 1: nice to go through that, to go back and get

655
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 1: a win. And what what do you think of the

656
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 1: atmosphere there? There were some Buffalo fans, but it's pretty

657
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 1: loud pretty raucous crowd there in Pittsburgh. R Oh yeah.

658
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 1: I mean they do a good job, but they're nothing

659
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 1: like Bill's mafia. And uh, they had their towels going.

660
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 1: We had our towels going. You know, hey done with them?

661
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 1: Um after the game Bill's GM. Brandon Bean, I want

662
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 1: you to hear this too. Brandon Bean was being interviewed

663
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 1: and you interrupted the interview that the Buffalo Bills. Listen

664
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 1: to this. This is Brandon being the Bills GM last night.

665
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 1: This man right here, Brandon Bean. He doesn't get enough credit. Man,

666
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 1: This is this is the man I put everything together

667
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 1: and helped us out. He's a hell of a guy,

668
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 1: hell of a leader. Did you walked right in and

669
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 1: broke up his little press conference? There? Is that your

670
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 1: first of the negotiation for the new deal? No, you know,

671
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 1: he's a behind the scenes kind of guy. He doesn't.

672
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 1: He's humble and you know, I am on a new

673
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 1: contract or I want a new contract all that. But

674
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 1: it's way further than that he did. He did. He

675
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 1: does the way him and Sean put this roster together

676
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 1: and put these people together and put all the people

677
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 1: in power the way that they did, and everything and

678
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 1: I've never seen him before, and he's relatable. You can

679
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 1: go talk to him whenever you need to. He is

680
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 1: does a remarkable job of of of everything that he does.

681
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 1: He's the guy who brought you here fourteen months ago.

682
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 1: Your your second round pick of the Dolphins. Released by

683
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 1: the Dolphins and claimed by the Bills early October twenty eighteen.

684
00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 1: Do you recall what your mindset was? Did you know

685
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 1: what you were walking into up here in Buffalo when

686
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 1: they claimed you? Where you're like, oh man, I'm going

687
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:06,560
Speaker 1: to Buffalo. That was my exact mindset, especially coming from Miami.

688
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 1: You know, the Bills and the Dolphins don't get along,

689
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 1: so I wasn't happy about it. But this place has

690
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 1: changed my career, has changed my outlook on Western New York.

691
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 1: It's made me love everybody in Buffalo. Was there a

692
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 1: game or a turning point that kind of flipped your

693
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 1: thoughts about playing here? Would something happened last year that

694
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 1: maybe you thought, Okay, it wasn't anything to really do

695
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 1: with football. About why I started loving Buffalo. The way

696
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 1: our room is, the way our team is, and how

697
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 1: everybody has just jailed with each other and love each other.

698
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 1: You don't get that everywhere. I mean, last night we

699
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 1: got back too am, and there's so many people out

700
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 1: there yelling, screaming that I was telling at all over

701
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 1: last night said bro enjoy this man. This doesn't come

702
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 1: around often. This doesn't this doesn't happen. You don't get

703
00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 1: love like this from from other places. This is a

704
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 1: special place. That's one of the things that about being

705
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 1: on this team this year and then under this coaching staff,

706
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 1: is it so much of it is about making it

707
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:11,960
Speaker 1: an attractive place to play and to attractive team to

708
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 1: be a part of us. It's about the city, but

709
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 1: it's also about the atmosphere they've created inside the locker

710
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 1: room and inside the building and what they provide for

711
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 1: you with his weight room and the recovery stuff and

712
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 1: the staff, and it's a kind of a total package

713
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 1: that makes this a lot more attractive than maybe it

714
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 1: was a handful of years ago. Yeah, I mean they

715
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 1: did the Pegoula's did a heck of a job with

716
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 1: the new weight rooms, the facilities, the training staff, the

717
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 1: training room, everything, everything here's top notch. If you look

718
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 1: at I can't even say that if you look at

719
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 1: coming to Buffalo, you have to look at look more

720
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 1: into just the city, you know what I mean. You

721
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 1: gotta look at the people, you gotta look at the atmosphere.

722
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:01,360
Speaker 1: You gotta you just really gotta buy into it, and

723
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 1: you'll get so much in return for it. Well, your

724
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 1: play is certainly reflected that you got nine and a

725
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:09,240
Speaker 1: half sacks. You're second in the league amongst the defensive tackles.

726
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 1: You only had five in your whole career in Miami.

727
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:16,280
Speaker 1: What's been the difference for you? Internally? Buffalo just finally

728
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 1: gave me a chance. This is the first time in

729
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:21,840
Speaker 1: my career I've ever been on the third down rush team,

730
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 1: and it's paid dividends to my career. And just the

731
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 1: way that they've used me. I don't have to have

732
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:33,719
Speaker 1: fifty sixty snaps again to be effective, you know what

733
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 1: I mean? And Sharon snaps what what ed? Keeps me fresh,

734
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 1: keeps me active, and they do a great job. Got

735
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,360
Speaker 1: a few more minutes with Bill's defensive tackle. Jordan Philip,

736
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:45,320
Speaker 1: you've been on the show before, Jordan. It always strikes

737
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 1: me how how calm and measured and low key you

738
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:49,960
Speaker 1: are in the show, and we watch you play on

739
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 1: Sundays and you're kind of a wild man, Yeah, tell

740
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:55,719
Speaker 1: me about that transformation that that you have on game

741
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:57,800
Speaker 1: day and what's going through you're at. It's just a

742
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 1: jackal and hide. You know, you got a let's see,

743
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 1: the loud ones are normally never that good, you know

744
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:09,279
Speaker 1: what I mean. So you let your play do the

745
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 1: talking and you bring the juice while you're out there,

746
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 1: and when you're outside of those lines, just become cool

747
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 1: and collected and do what you do. There was a

748
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:19,920

00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:20,719
Speaker 1: You know, and you've through the first half of the

766
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 1: season when people are like, well they haven't played anybody.

767
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 1: They're beating teams with losing records. Well, you beat when

768
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:26,919
Speaker 1: in In on Thanksgiving Day, and you'd beat a pretty

769
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:28,719
Speaker 1: good Dallas team, and then last night you beat the

770
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:31,279
Speaker 1: team with a winning record who had probably is the

771
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:34,160
Speaker 1: most dynamic defense at least playmaking, all the takeaways and

772
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 1: all the sacks and all of that, and you beat them.

773
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:39,439
Speaker 1: Do you guys get caught up in what other people

774
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 1: outside think about you? I mean, certainly hear the rhetoric,

775
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:44,240
Speaker 1: and and like you say, Duck said, you're just another

776
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:47,800
Speaker 1: defense you can internalize and use some as some motivation.

777
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 1: But what kind of effect does that have on your

778
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 1: guys and your quest to be as good as you

779
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 1: can be? I'm not for sure. I can't I can't

780
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 1: speak on how good this defense has been in the

781
00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 1: past just the last two years, but since Sean's taken over,

782
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:05,160
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure he's had one of the best defenses

783
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:07,759
Speaker 1: in the league. And it's year in and year out,

784
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 1: and it's the same player as doing it. And it's

785
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:15,279
Speaker 1: just crazy how when you do it over and over

786
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:17,840
Speaker 1: and over again and people still don't start to notice.

787
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 1: That's when it starts to you need to say, you

788
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 1: need to start humbling people. And that's what we're trying

789
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:26,919
Speaker 1: to go out there and do. He Jordan Bills took

790
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:29,319
Speaker 1: eight penalties last night, some of them costly. You took

791
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:33,400
Speaker 1: a offside penalty and I watched your tweets today you

792
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:36,239
Speaker 1: weren't too You didn't agree with some nimes to say

793
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:39,239
Speaker 1: it right, don't get in trouble here. But what do

794
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 1: you think? Um? I mean, you can see it right there.

795
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:46,959
Speaker 1: There's I've done it multiple times this year and every

796
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:49,879
Speaker 1: time I haven't been off And I told told them

797
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 1: last night, I said, did you see the replay because

798
00:37:54,960 --> 00:38:00,200
Speaker 1: there is no way that that was offsides? And see

799
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:01,359
Speaker 1: if I can do it again and see if they

800
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 1: call it. Yeah, yeah, no, you didn't look offside. We

801
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:08,359
Speaker 1: have a closer up, close up view on MSG right

802
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:11,719
Speaker 1: Now that's just quickness, right yeah, I and you you

803
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 1: kind of and I back when I played, and I

804
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:16,799
Speaker 1: would do it with a long snapper, I'd go, I'd

805
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:19,359
Speaker 1: sneak over and kind of watch him practice and warm up,

806
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:21,880
Speaker 1: and you get a tell on whether how he holds

807
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 1: his hand, what the muscles in his forearm, the way

808
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:26,839
Speaker 1: his feed. You know that you can kind of feed,

809
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:28,680
Speaker 1: you kind of get into a rhythm with what they're

810
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 1: doing and what and even the most subtle things you

811
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:32,759
Speaker 1: start to pick up on. And that's kind of what

812
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:34,719
Speaker 1: allows you to get a jump like that, right, yep,

813
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:39,960
Speaker 1: it's just especially you. I don't play nose very often,

814
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:42,960
Speaker 1: so I get to I get to watch star and

815
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:46,640
Speaker 1: uh VT. Yesterday they are just going, going, going, and

816
00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:49,320
Speaker 1: they weren't giving us to some too much variation and

817
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:52,040
Speaker 1: the cadence. So I said, here, here's my chance. Let's

818
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:55,959
Speaker 1: take a shot. And so I did, and it should

819
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 1: have worked out, but it didn't. And this next time

820
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:03,080
Speaker 1: I do it, it's it's gonna work out. Three weeks ago,

821
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:05,920
Speaker 1: Cowboys game, it was a very short week, very abbreviated

822
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:08,919
Speaker 1: practice schedule. This week is a shorter week, but I'm

823
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:11,719
Speaker 1: guessing it won't affect preparation that much. Is there a

824
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:13,920
Speaker 1: recovery time that you'll miss a day, you know, a

825
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:16,480
Speaker 1: day sooner that you'll be playing. Uh yeah, that's why

826
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 1: I was important to get in today, get your body right.

827
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:22,759
Speaker 1: What you do today, just this maintenance, a little body work,

828
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:26,239
Speaker 1: come in, watch film, review the game from yesterday, make

829
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 1: the adjustments we need to do. And this is a

830
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:32,959
Speaker 1: different monster that we're playing this week. So you can't

831
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:35,680
Speaker 1: have that off day. You can't have. We couldn't even

832
00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 1: really enjoy our victory last night. You know what I mean.

833
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:42,279
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, he's the best to ever do it, and

834
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:44,560
Speaker 1: you got to treat him like it isn't You can't

835
00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 1: be lacks. A day is a cooal. You can't gump

836
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:49,759
Speaker 1: come in and say, oh we're playing good, because we'll

837
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:53,360
Speaker 1: go into Foxborough or New England and get embarrassed. You

838
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:56,759
Speaker 1: have to get some sleep. Yeah, yes I do. Yeah, thanks,

839
00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 1: jorybody does. That's great. Congratulations, Jordan, thank you, thank you

840
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 1: for coming. Jordan Phillips. Bills Defensive Tackles Team and I

841
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:04,719
Speaker 1: Coming Back One Bills Live presented by Kalada Health from

842
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:24,120
Speaker 1: the Seneca Studio on Buffalo Bills radio show about ONeill

843
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 1: five or coming in from One Bill's Drive from the

844
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:28,719
Speaker 1: Seneca studio. Drumber. He was team tasker, a lot to

845
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 1: talk about a lot to celebrate the playoff spot second

846
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:33,520
Speaker 1: time in three years. Steeve, I think I do want

847
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 1: to get the calls here, But just I was texting.

848
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:38,920
Speaker 1: I got a million texts last night after the game,

849
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:41,280
Speaker 1: including one from a buddy who works in the league

850
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:45,160
Speaker 1: who was talking about how really the player it was

851
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:47,920
Speaker 1: dead two years ago the playoff drought, but now it's

852
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:50,480
Speaker 1: dead and buried. Right, you make the playoffs twice in

853
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:52,640
Speaker 1: the three year span. We don't have to think about

854
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:55,279
Speaker 1: the drought or the impact of the drought. Right, may

855
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:57,280
Speaker 1: get twice in a three year span with a completely

856
00:40:57,280 --> 00:41:02,040
Speaker 1: different roster, Yeah, almost completely this time. Claim it yourself,

857
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:05,400
Speaker 1: not need help from you know, do it two weeks early. Yeah,

858
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:07,719
Speaker 1: and do it two weeks early. Yeah. It's that's a

859
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:11,040
Speaker 1: part of ancient Bills history. Now it happened. It was terrible,

860
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:14,640
Speaker 1: but it is, it's gone. It's in the rear view mirror,

861
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 1: far back in the rearview mirror. I think, yeah, yeah,

862
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:22,000
Speaker 1: you're right, and people still think about it because it

863
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:25,840
Speaker 1: was a long time. It was awful, But you know,

864
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:32,920
Speaker 1: it's different leadership, different ownership, different players, different mindset, different results,

865
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:37,320
Speaker 1: and some discipline with the plan. They don't get outside

866
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:40,640
Speaker 1: the lines and they stay in their lane when it

867
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:45,400
Speaker 1: comes to the big picture. You know, they don't believe

868
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:48,600
Speaker 1: that there's that one player out there that's gonna put

869
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:50,480
Speaker 1: them over there, that little you know, like we all say,

870
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:52,759
Speaker 1: the shiny object on the shelf that they just they

871
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:55,840
Speaker 1: just pay this one guy, you know it's gonna put them.

872
00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:58,839
Speaker 1: They know better than that, and they're right, and it's

873
00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 1: proven to be a winning formula so far. It's it's

874
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:05,440
Speaker 1: you gotta tip your hat to this team because it

875
00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:09,680
Speaker 1: I'll say it again, they got enough guys in the

876
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:11,640
Speaker 1: house right now to go as far as they want.

877
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:15,160
Speaker 1: They really do, but they gotta, you know, they're gonna

878
00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:17,960
Speaker 1: have to play better than they did offensively last night

879
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:20,839
Speaker 1: to do that. One more text message I got last

880
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:22,200
Speaker 1: night that I really want to mention because this is

881
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:24,440
Speaker 1: one of my favorite people in the league. Bob Sochi

882
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:26,560
Speaker 1: is the play by play voice of the New England Patriots.

883
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:28,560
Speaker 1: He's a native of Upstate New York, Auburn, New York,

884
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:30,400
Speaker 1: and I get a text from him last night at

885
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:33,919
Speaker 1: eleven thirty nine, ten minutes after the game's over. He says,

886
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:37,279
Speaker 1: congrat see you Saturday. He's a great guy. I just

887
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:39,040
Speaker 1: wanted to say, I love Bob Sochi. I don't like

888
00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:41,759
Speaker 1: the Patriots, but their play by play guy is an

889
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:43,360
Speaker 1: awesome guy and that really meant a lot to me.

890
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:45,600
Speaker 1: Guy who they live in the playoffs? Right, And then

891
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:47,560
Speaker 1: he continued to say, can you send me some video

892
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:52,680
Speaker 1: of their coaching? Just kidding, we'll talk about that. You

893
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:54,840
Speaker 1: and I got into an argument about it this morning.

894
00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:57,480
Speaker 1: I'm trying to and I'm trying to enjoy the winning

895
00:42:57,480 --> 00:42:59,840
Speaker 1: the playoff clenching, and Steve immediately turns the table to

896
00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:02,040
Speaker 1: talk about the Patriot. Well, the video came out. Of

897
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:04,799
Speaker 1: the video came out, So yeah, well you'll find him.

898
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:06,960
Speaker 1: We'll find time. What it doesn't even have to be

899
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:09,439
Speaker 1: on the air. I don't care. As long as we fight,

900
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:12,160
Speaker 1: I don't care if it's on the air, right other

901
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:14,520
Speaker 1: than punching the playoffs spot, what were you most excited

908
00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:34,080
Speaker 1: That you know, I'm twenty nine years old. My mom

909
00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:36,399
Speaker 1: actually grew up in Leota. My grandparents still lived there,

910
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:38,280
Speaker 1: But you are the reason that we grew up Bill fans.

Speaker 1: who don't know, and there's no reason you should. Leota,

916
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:55,799
Speaker 1: Kansas is a dot on the map somewhere between Wichita,

917
00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:59,080
Speaker 1: Kansas and Denver, Colorado. And I believe believe me, folks,

918
00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:02,000
Speaker 1: it's a dot. But that's where I grew up, my

919
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:05,080
Speaker 1: wife grew up. Um, we still have family that lives

920
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:08,279
Speaker 1: back there. There are about fifteen hundred people in the

921
00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:13,759
Speaker 1: entire county and uh it it's you know, it's a

922
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 1: one of a kind place. So there you go. I'm

923
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:18,640
Speaker 1: thank you for calling Jordan. That's wonderful. Tell your family

924
00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:22,440
Speaker 1: I send in my regards. Yeah, I'm sure you remember

925
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:26,440
Speaker 1: my my grandfather used to own the dairy king there.

926
00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:28,080
Speaker 1: But I want to talk about you guys. Did open

927
00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:30,800
Speaker 1: the show talking about, you know, a new generation of

928
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:32,799
Speaker 1: bill fans and how you fit right into that too, Jordan,

929
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:35,560
Speaker 1: don't you know it's it's it's it's different. You know,

930
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:37,920
Speaker 1: we this isn't our first time going to the playoffs.

931
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:39,040
Speaker 1: You know, we did it two years ago, but this

932
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:41,640
Speaker 1: is just different. You know, it's last year or two

933
00:44:41,719 --> 00:44:44,279
Speaker 1: years ago kind of backed in with a roster that

934
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:45,960
Speaker 1: we all knew that Tyrod Taylor wasn't going to be

935
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:47,719
Speaker 1: the quarterback going forward. We knew they were going to

936
00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:49,799
Speaker 1: blow up the roster. It was cool to make it,

937
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:52,440
Speaker 1: but this one's just different. They built this thing from

938
00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:54,759
Speaker 1: the ground up the right way, and the biggest thing

939
00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:58,239
Speaker 1: is this is a sustainable deal going forward. But you know,

940
00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:00,040
Speaker 1: this isn't just one year of this that I I

941
00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:02,440
Speaker 1: really feel this is going to be a decade or more,

942
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:04,560
Speaker 1: hopefully of you know, a lot more of this to come.

943
00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:06,040
Speaker 1: So it's it's a great day to be a Buffalo

944
00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:08,279
Speaker 1: fanthas one of the reasons Jordan, this is different. This

945
00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:11,319
Speaker 1: year's one, you feel like they deserve to be in

946
00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:13,399
Speaker 1: the playoffs. They earned it. And two, it's you could

947
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:15,560
Speaker 1: see it coming. You could see it coming for a

948
00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:18,040
Speaker 1: long time. This team has been good from the beginning

949
00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:19,880
Speaker 1: of the season all the way through that it's certainly

950
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:22,400
Speaker 1: the one loss you can point to that was like, wow,

951
00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:26,439
Speaker 1: maybe they're not that is the Philadelphia game. But every

952
00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:29,360
Speaker 1: other game in this season the Bills have been tooth

953
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:33,600
Speaker 1: and nail in and one not ten of them. This

954
00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:37,160
Speaker 1: is a team that absolutely is good enough to deserve

955
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:39,080
Speaker 1: a spot in the playoffs and they and they wrapped

956
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:41,799
Speaker 1: it up pretty early in the season here in the

957
00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:44,200
Speaker 1: last month. So it's you're right, this is a different

958
00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:46,560
Speaker 1: feel to it than the one two years ago. Hey, Jordan,

959
00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:50,239
Speaker 1: you're in Charlotte, North Carolina, right, Yes, sir, did you

960
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:52,319
Speaker 1: go to the preseason game down there when the Bills played?

961
00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:54,799
Speaker 1: I did, actually took my four years old for his

962
00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:56,960
Speaker 1: first Bill And here's the question I really want to

963
00:45:56,960 --> 00:45:58,919
Speaker 1: ask you. Did you make it down to Spartanburg for

964
00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:03,120
Speaker 1: the practices at all? Unfortunately I didn't. I had to

965
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:05,120
Speaker 1: work that weekend. You know, Here's why I asked because

966
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:07,520
Speaker 1: Lee Smith said something postgame last night. Somebody asked, the

967
00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:10,440
Speaker 1: Bills are what six and one? Right? Yeah, six and

968
00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:12,400
Speaker 1: one on the road and how did that happen? And

969
00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:14,680
Speaker 1: I'm standing right there and doing the interview part of

970
00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:18,000
Speaker 1: the interview, and Lee Smith's pointed to the Carolina trip

971
00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:21,000
Speaker 1: as the kind of the reason why they're so good

972
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:23,360
Speaker 1: on the road. And when they write the story of

973
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:25,960
Speaker 1: the twenty nineteen Buffalo Bills and somebody will, maybe you

974
00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:30,200
Speaker 1: or I should that Carolina trip. What three days in Spartanburg,

975
00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:32,359
Speaker 1: a couple of days in Charlotte, I think was big

976
00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:34,520
Speaker 1: for this team. At least that's what Lee Smith led

977
00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:37,160
Speaker 1: me to believe last night, just that the bonding that

978
00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:39,359
Speaker 1: went on the fact that they felt like a road

979
00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:41,440
Speaker 1: team down there in the middle of the Panthers training

980
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:44,480
Speaker 1: camp practicing with the Panthers, and we saw a lot

981
00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:46,560
Speaker 1: of those There were two days of practice. They were

982
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:50,279
Speaker 1: going head to head pretty hard against simultaneous Yeah, two

983
00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:53,000
Speaker 1: different fields. Something happened there, and I'd like to maybe

984
00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:54,960
Speaker 1: talk about that a couple of times with some more

985
00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:57,840
Speaker 1: Bills players. Something happened on that what was it, second

986
00:46:57,840 --> 00:47:00,480
Speaker 1: week of August trip to Carolina, right, and you don't.

987
00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:02,360
Speaker 1: It's one of those things where you don't know it

988
00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:04,600
Speaker 1: when it's happening, but now as you look back, Yeah,

989
00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:07,800
Speaker 1: it was the week of August tenth, I guess twelfth.

990
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:09,040
Speaker 1: You know, you know what I mean. It's one of

991
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:10,960
Speaker 1: those things where at the time you're like, oh, this

992
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:12,960
Speaker 1: is kind of fun. That's pretty cool. Practice with the

993
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:15,399
Speaker 1: Panthers played. The Panthers were on site here for four

994
00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:17,080
Speaker 1: or five days, and we're in our own little world.

995
00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:18,920
Speaker 1: But when you talk at Lee Smith, I think is

996
00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:21,680
Speaker 1: a pretty smart observer of kind of a team concept.

997
00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:23,400
Speaker 1: And he said that trip, that four or five day

998
00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:26,319
Speaker 1: trip to South Carolina and to Charlotte meant something, meant

999
00:47:26,320 --> 00:47:28,759
Speaker 1: a great deal to this team and their success this year. Yeah,

1000
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:30,799
Speaker 1: I agree. I think you had to take their word

1001
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:33,200
Speaker 1: for something change for him, and it was evident. Jordan,

1002
00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:37,120
Speaker 1: do you have anything else? Jordan's gone, okay, Yeah, I

1003
00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:40,800
Speaker 1: can't believe I got a call from somebody with nobody

1004
00:47:40,840 --> 00:47:43,440
Speaker 1: has Let right, let's go to one more call here,

1005
00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:45,640
Speaker 1: Rob from Orchard Park. Hello, Rob, welcome, you're on the

1006
00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:52,400
Speaker 1: ear I John and Steve Hi. Great day to be

1007
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:57,160
Speaker 1: a Bills fan. Yes it is. I wanted to say that.

1008
00:47:57,239 --> 00:48:02,040
Speaker 1: I was so excited about Tyler Croft catching that touchdown

1009
00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:04,600
Speaker 1: pass in the end zone. I don't know if you

1010
00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:08,480
Speaker 1: guys remember, but I've been calling you guys for weeks

1011
00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:12,560
Speaker 1: asking where Tyler Croft is, Why aren't they using them?

1012
00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:16,480
Speaker 1: And I jumped out of my chair when he caught

1013
00:48:16,520 --> 00:48:20,880
Speaker 1: that touchdown and said, finally, finally, one target one catches

1014
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:24,680
Speaker 1: that enough for him to you, Well, no, I'm hoping

1015
00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:28,839
Speaker 1: that they start using him more because teams are going

1016
00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:32,160
Speaker 1: to be shutting down the things that we're doing, and

1017
00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:34,840
Speaker 1: every week you got to come up with something different.

1018
00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:37,839
Speaker 1: And I think if we start using our tight ends

1019
00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:45,040
Speaker 1: more and maybe develop a screen pass mentality a little bit,

1020
00:48:45,040 --> 00:48:49,600
Speaker 1: it would help. Also, I was intrigued by the way

1021
00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:57,319
Speaker 1: the coaching staff has incorporated a plug and play attitude

1022
00:48:57,560 --> 00:49:02,600
Speaker 1: into things like the New England Patriots STU. I mean,

1023
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:06,000
Speaker 1: Jerry Hughes is a better pass rusher than he is

1024
00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:10,200
Speaker 1: a run stuffer, so they started check Lawson because he

1025
00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:13,239
Speaker 1: plays better against the run. They were doing the same

1026
00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:19,040
Speaker 1: with Oliver and Jordan Phillips, and they do the same

1027
00:49:19,120 --> 00:49:30,319
Speaker 1: with Eli Wallace and and Kevin Johnson the other cornerback. God. Yeah,

1028
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:34,920
Speaker 1: now Jerry Hughes didn't start last night, right, you know that? Yeah? Yeah,

1029
00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:37,480
Speaker 1: all right, thanks, got a breakcare. We're coming back with

1030
00:49:37,560 --> 00:49:39,960
Speaker 1: more Steve Tansker, John Murphy. When we come back, Chris

1031
00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:43,279
Speaker 1: Brown will join US Bills Insider from Buffalo Bills dot Com.

1032
00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:45,759
Speaker 1: It's One Bills Live presented by Kalida Health Line from

1033
00:49:45,760 --> 00:50:00,880
Speaker 1: the Seneca Studio on Buffalo Bills Radio, Bills Radio Network

1034
00:50:01,360 --> 00:50:05,160
Speaker 1: Sports Day from One Bill Drive. Players Day off today.

1035
00:50:05,160 --> 00:50:07,399
Speaker 1: Bills players kind of filtering through for their own work,

1036
00:50:07,440 --> 00:50:09,400
Speaker 1: maybe some film study, but they do not have to

1037
00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:13,040
Speaker 1: report to work officially until tomorrow. For the second time,

1038
00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:15,160
Speaker 1: only the second time in the last twenty years, the

1039
00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:17,920
Speaker 1: Bills earned the postseason, second time in the last three

1040
00:50:17,960 --> 00:50:20,759
Speaker 1: They are playoff bound after they're seventeen to ten win

1041
00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:24,240
Speaker 1: over the Pittsburgh Steelers last night, John mcdermot's second playoff

1042
00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:26,839
Speaker 1: berth in three seasons in Buffalo. The Bills, of course,

1043
00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:28,840
Speaker 1: they had the long playoff drought. They come up with

1044
00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:31,040
Speaker 1: the big win last night in Pittsburgh to do it.

1045
00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:33,800
Speaker 1: It's the earliest in the season the Bills have secured

1046
00:50:33,800 --> 00:50:36,800
Speaker 1: a playoff spot since nineteen ninety one, when they clinched

1047
00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:39,640
Speaker 1: the division title. In Week fourteen. The Bills now six

1048
00:50:39,640 --> 00:50:41,759
Speaker 1: and one in road games this season, the fourth time

1049
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:45,719
Speaker 1: in franchise history with six or more road wins. The

1050
00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:48,920
Speaker 1: Bills got through it. It appears relatively injury free. McDermott

1051
00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:51,279
Speaker 1: will meet with the media later this afternoon and have

1052
00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:53,680
Speaker 1: an update on that, and again they return to practice.

1053
00:50:53,680 --> 00:50:55,840
Speaker 1: They've got the Patriots coming up. The Bills still alive

1054
00:50:56,160 --> 00:50:59,000
Speaker 1: for a potential AFC East Division title. They need things

1055
00:50:59,040 --> 00:51:01,000
Speaker 1: to break their way and need win out, but they

1056
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:04,239
Speaker 1: played the Patriots this Saturday afternoon four thirty in Foxborough.

1057
00:51:04,480 --> 00:51:07,080
Speaker 1: The San Francisco forty nine ers playoff route is over

1058
00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:09,759
Speaker 1: for the first time since twenty thirteen. The Niners are

1059
00:51:09,760 --> 00:51:12,879
Speaker 1: headed to the postseason. They needed to wait after their

1060
00:51:12,880 --> 00:51:15,600
Speaker 1: twenty nine twenty two loss to the Falcons last night.

1061
00:51:15,640 --> 00:51:17,480
Speaker 1: The loss made the Niners the first team to win

1062
00:51:17,600 --> 00:51:20,080
Speaker 1: ten games in the season and also lose at least

1063
00:51:20,080 --> 00:51:23,400
Speaker 1: three games in the final ten seconds of regulation or

1064
00:51:23,440 --> 00:51:26,600
Speaker 1: overtime since the Eagles did it in two thousand. Final

1065
00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:29,200
Speaker 1: game at home in Oakland for the Raiders last night,

1066
00:51:29,520 --> 00:51:33,360
Speaker 1: and the fans booed Derek Cars he came off the field.

1067
00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:37,520
Speaker 1: The Raiders lost a twenty to sixteen to the Jacksonville Jaguars.

1068
00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:40,160
Speaker 1: The Raiders, moving to Las Vegas in twenty twenty, shot

1069
00:51:40,200 --> 00:51:42,440
Speaker 1: out in the second half of that game last night.

1070
00:51:42,600 --> 00:51:45,560
Speaker 1: The Buffalo Sabers practice today. They had to Toronto to

1082
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:19,160
Speaker 1: short sleep for like another day or two, Like really Wednesday,

1083
00:52:19,160 --> 00:52:20,480
Speaker 1: it might hit me. I'd be like, why do I

1084
00:52:20,520 --> 00:52:24,440
Speaker 1: feel so overtired? And that's when it'll hit me. It

1085
00:52:24,440 --> 00:52:26,239
Speaker 1: never hits me the first day. I don't know why. Yeah,

1086
00:52:26,239 --> 00:52:28,279
Speaker 1: I woke up at I mean I was in bed

1087
00:52:28,280 --> 00:52:30,200
Speaker 1: at four. I was up at eight, and I don't know,

1088
00:52:30,280 --> 00:52:32,400
Speaker 1: I was jumped right out of bed. I wasn't a

1089
00:52:32,440 --> 00:52:34,479
Speaker 1: spring daisy, but I was, you know, I was ready

1090
00:52:34,520 --> 00:52:36,640
Speaker 1: to go. So I don't know. I don't get it.

1091
00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:38,640
Speaker 1: My body works in weird ways. Chris Brown is with

1092
00:52:38,719 --> 00:52:40,719
Speaker 1: us to talk about yesterday's game and what lines ahead

1093
00:52:40,719 --> 00:52:42,919
Speaker 1: for the Bills. You're welcome to join us. Eighth three

1094
00:52:43,120 --> 00:52:45,720
Speaker 1: five fifty toll free one eight eight eight five fifty

1095
00:52:45,719 --> 00:52:48,200
Speaker 1: two five fifty. Can I bounce this off you this way?

1096
00:52:48,239 --> 00:52:51,720
Speaker 1: I started the show with Steve playoff Berth is huge.

1097
00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:54,480
Speaker 1: A win at Pittsburgh, it's huge, much more to talk

1098
00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:56,919
Speaker 1: about in this game, but and a bigger sense, Chris,

1099
00:52:56,920 --> 00:52:59,840
Speaker 1: and kind of an esoteric sense. And it hit me.

1100
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:02,360
Speaker 1: And I saw those faces on those on the fans

1101
00:53:02,680 --> 00:53:04,279
Speaker 1: at the airport last night. What do you think four

1102
00:53:04,360 --> 00:53:07,480
Speaker 1: hundred maybe five hundred fans? It might be a little generous,

1103
00:53:07,520 --> 00:53:11,319
Speaker 1: three or four hundred, yeah, but it hit me looking

1104
00:53:11,360 --> 00:53:14,319
Speaker 1: at those people, their age, their demeanor. I thought, this

1105
00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:16,839
Speaker 1: is a whole new generation of Bills fans who have

1106
00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:20,160
Speaker 1: not enjoyed this kind of a run, and they've been patient,

1107
00:53:20,239 --> 00:53:23,120
Speaker 1: they've been loyal. Good for them. This franchise needed that

1108
00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:26,759
Speaker 1: to engage that generation of Bills fans who've waited so

1109
00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:29,800
Speaker 1: long for this kind of success. Makes last night clinching

1110
00:53:29,840 --> 00:53:32,480
Speaker 1: the playoff I think huge. I think it's a significant

1111
00:53:32,719 --> 00:53:35,399
Speaker 1: step forward for the team to have fans of that age.

1112
00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:37,080
Speaker 1: And I guess I'm Steve and I were talking about

1113
00:53:37,120 --> 00:53:40,399
Speaker 1: how we both have boys children that age who've been

1114
00:53:40,480 --> 00:53:42,759
Speaker 1: loyal Bills fans that have never enjoyed this kind of run,

1115
00:53:42,840 --> 00:53:44,880
Speaker 1: and I'm so happy for him. Look at the faces

1116
00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:48,239
Speaker 1: on those folks. Yeah, and my son's fifteen and he's

1117
00:53:48,280 --> 00:53:50,520
Speaker 1: lived in too, Maybe not quite as long as some

1118
00:53:50,560 --> 00:53:53,360
Speaker 1: of these other people in their early twenties, but yeah,

1119
00:53:53,400 --> 00:53:57,880
Speaker 1: they And I'm just gonna say this, can't tell me

1120
00:53:57,880 --> 00:54:00,000
Speaker 1: it wasn't a lot of nervous sweating last night. Sure,

1121
00:54:00,160 --> 00:54:04,239
Speaker 1: which makes some nervous sweating. And the reason why is

1122
00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:07,200
Speaker 1: because there have been too many times where the team

1123
00:54:07,239 --> 00:54:11,440
Speaker 1: hasn't come through and you know, left Bills fans standing

1124
00:54:11,520 --> 00:54:16,759
Speaker 1: at the altar, and even this year, even this year,

1125
00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:19,920
Speaker 1: there have been some tight games where Bills fans need

1126
00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:23,520
Speaker 1: to see three zeros on the clock before they exhale

1127
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:26,440
Speaker 1: because they've been disappointed so many times in the past,

1128
00:54:26,560 --> 00:54:30,560
Speaker 1: and it's taken a while for this team to convince

1129
00:54:30,600 --> 00:54:36,200
Speaker 1: them that they are capable of winning Nippentuck games, close

1130
00:54:36,280 --> 00:54:39,400
Speaker 1: games that's still not over. I was not text from

1131
00:54:39,440 --> 00:54:42,120
Speaker 1: guys last night. I say, listen, we're gonna lose this game.

1132
00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:43,960
Speaker 1: I've seen this movie too many times. Here you get

1133
00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:46,280
Speaker 1: this bad you get the offsides penalty or drop pastor

1134
00:54:46,280 --> 00:54:48,399
Speaker 1: of penalty, whatever, bad things. And I get the same

1135
00:54:48,440 --> 00:54:50,919
Speaker 1: Twitter snark during the game. Well yeah, Twitter is big,

1136
00:54:50,960 --> 00:54:53,640
Speaker 1: but I was getting direct text from buddies of mine

1137
00:54:53,880 --> 00:54:55,560
Speaker 1: would say we're gonna you know, we can't, we can't

1138
00:54:55,560 --> 00:54:58,160
Speaker 1: win it. And it's just a mindset, I confess. And

1139
00:54:58,239 --> 00:55:01,719
Speaker 1: my wife, my wife this morning, I'm shaving season. When

1140
00:55:01,760 --> 00:55:04,160
Speaker 1: did you settle down and figure they had it? I said,

1141
00:55:04,840 --> 00:55:07,120
Speaker 1: I think there were six seconds on the clock. You

1142
00:55:07,160 --> 00:55:10,560
Speaker 1: know it took that. I mean, I'm thinking all the way. Yeah,

1143
00:55:11,160 --> 00:55:14,920
Speaker 1: I'm still there. And I don't verbalize it, especially not

1144
00:55:14,960 --> 00:55:17,080
Speaker 1: on the broadcast, but let's face it, in the back

1145
00:55:17,120 --> 00:55:19,640
Speaker 1: of my mind, many times, this could go wrong, this

1146
00:55:19,640 --> 00:55:21,560
Speaker 1: could go hard. It's not like we've seen it for

1147
00:55:21,600 --> 00:55:23,960
Speaker 1: a year or two. I mean, right, we've watched it

1148
00:55:24,080 --> 00:55:26,000
Speaker 1: for the better part of a decade and a half,

1149
00:55:26,200 --> 00:55:28,319
Speaker 1: right for this team, yet you also around the league.

1150
00:55:28,360 --> 00:55:32,080
Speaker 1: I mean, it's self stuff yesterday. It happens every team,

1151
00:55:32,120 --> 00:55:35,680
Speaker 1: and as a fan, it's self preservation mode. I mean,

1152
00:55:35,760 --> 00:55:39,239
Speaker 1: let's be hot, that's what it is. It's self preservation

1153
00:55:39,320 --> 00:55:44,280
Speaker 1: mode where you go into this line of thinking because

1154
00:55:44,880 --> 00:55:47,799
Speaker 1: I hate to say it, you've almost been conditioned to

1155
00:55:47,960 --> 00:55:52,160
Speaker 1: think that way. You're protecting yourself, you know. And whether

1156
00:55:52,200 --> 00:55:54,880
Speaker 1: it's a fan at home leaving the room to go

1157
00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:57,279
Speaker 1: up and to go away from the television for a

1158
00:55:57,280 --> 00:56:00,480
Speaker 1: while before something else exciting happens to pull them back.

1159
00:56:00,520 --> 00:56:03,520
Speaker 1: It's like al Pacino when Godfather three. Every time I

1160
00:56:03,640 --> 00:56:05,520
Speaker 1: try to get they pull me back in, you know.

1161
00:56:06,080 --> 00:56:10,279
Speaker 1: But this year is different because they are persevering through

1162
00:56:10,320 --> 00:56:13,040
Speaker 1: the garbage or through the bad stuff that's going to

1163
00:56:13,120 --> 00:56:15,560
Speaker 1: happen in any NFL game. There are going to be

1164
00:56:15,560 --> 00:56:18,319
Speaker 1: peaks and valleys in any NFL game. But to be

1165
00:56:18,840 --> 00:56:22,200
Speaker 1: coming out of it on the good side ten times

1166
00:56:23,080 --> 00:56:26,759
Speaker 1: in fourteen games is an accomplishment. It may not sound

1167
00:56:26,840 --> 00:56:31,800
Speaker 1: like much to people across the league, but for people

1168
00:56:31,800 --> 00:56:34,000
Speaker 1: who live and die the Bills every week, this is

1169
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:36,520
Speaker 1: a big thing for fans. It is, and it does

1170
00:56:36,560 --> 00:56:38,319
Speaker 1: seem and we've been talking about a little bit during

1171
00:56:38,360 --> 00:56:40,640
Speaker 1: the show that it seems they're doing it in the

1172
00:56:40,800 --> 00:56:43,319
Speaker 1: right way now that it's not gonna be like, wow,

1173
00:56:43,360 --> 00:56:45,640
Speaker 1: we now we gotta pay these contracts that we've We've

1174
00:56:45,640 --> 00:56:48,600
Speaker 1: signed these guys and it's sustainable. They've got ninety million

1175
00:56:48,600 --> 00:56:51,480
Speaker 1: bucks to spend next year. They've got a chance to

1176
00:56:51,480 --> 00:56:53,960
Speaker 1: sift through this roster and really pay the guys they

1177
00:56:53,960 --> 00:56:56,640
Speaker 1: think are really crucial, bring back whoever they want or

1178
00:56:56,680 --> 00:56:59,280
Speaker 1: to feel they need to, and going they got another

1179
00:56:59,360 --> 00:57:04,320
Speaker 1: draft classman, you know. They they seemed to be building

1180
00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:05,880
Speaker 1: it in a way that it's not going to go

1181
00:57:05,960 --> 00:57:09,359
Speaker 1: away for another decade. Well right, And that was the

1182
00:57:09,360 --> 00:57:14,880
Speaker 1: whole vision that Sean McDermott laid out. And it's some

1183
00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:17,280
Speaker 1: of the stuff that I covered in the column I

1184
00:57:17,320 --> 00:57:19,480
Speaker 1: wrote today on Buffalo bills dot com and I just

1185
00:57:19,520 --> 00:57:22,080
Speaker 1: plug that real quick. Chris is up on bills dot com.

1186
00:57:22,640 --> 00:57:25,120
Speaker 1: It went up with six seven forty five this morning. Wow,

1187
00:57:25,160 --> 00:57:28,040
Speaker 1: you did come from you? How Sean McDermott cultivated a

1188
00:57:28,080 --> 00:57:30,280
Speaker 1: culture that created a playoff caliber team. What did you

1189
00:57:30,320 --> 00:57:32,760
Speaker 1: write about, not just last night's game, right, No, but

1190
00:57:33,080 --> 00:57:35,520
Speaker 1: I think last night was kind of the realization of

1191
00:57:35,560 --> 00:57:38,960
Speaker 1: it for a lot of fans and maybe even for

1192
00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:41,480
Speaker 1: players in that locker room, because I was talking. We

1193
00:57:41,480 --> 00:57:43,520
Speaker 1: were talking to Tradevious White at length a bunch of

1194
00:57:43,520 --> 00:57:47,640
Speaker 1: media members, and I said to him, you know, you

1195
00:57:47,680 --> 00:57:51,520
Speaker 1: were here in twenty seventeen when this team surprised people

1196
00:57:51,640 --> 00:57:55,040
Speaker 1: and found a way into the postseason. I said, this year,

1197
00:57:56,160 --> 00:57:58,320
Speaker 1: you guys earned it all on your own. You didn't

1198
00:57:58,320 --> 00:58:01,439
Speaker 1: need help from anybody else. You got to ten wins

1199
00:58:01,560 --> 00:58:03,959
Speaker 1: after fourteen games, and you earned it on your own.

1200
00:58:04,440 --> 00:58:07,520
Speaker 1: How does that feel different? And he said, this is

1201
00:58:07,600 --> 00:58:14,040
Speaker 1: gigantic for us. It's gigantic because it is a realization

1202
00:58:15,120 --> 00:58:20,200
Speaker 1: of coach McDermott's trust the process, This is the result

1203
00:58:21,160 --> 00:58:29,320
Speaker 1: and why he insists on subscribing to daily self improvement,

1204
00:58:30,720 --> 00:58:34,440
Speaker 1: taking every day at work, whether it's week one on

1205
00:58:34,480 --> 00:58:38,000
Speaker 1: a Thursday or week sixteen when your body's hanging on

1206
00:58:38,120 --> 00:58:45,160
Speaker 1: a Wednesday, and applying the same approach physically mentally. And

1207
00:58:45,960 --> 00:58:49,400
Speaker 1: he's done that. And I mean, I got to give

1208
00:58:49,520 --> 00:58:51,680
Speaker 1: credit to coach McDermott. And I said this in the

1209
00:58:51,680 --> 00:58:58,920
Speaker 1: piece that I wrote to be able to add love

1210
00:58:59,800 --> 00:59:04,000
Speaker 1: and togetherness, camaraderie like we haven't seen in that locker

1211
00:59:04,120 --> 00:59:07,360
Speaker 1: room in a long time in the league that is

1212
00:59:07,400 --> 00:59:12,960
Speaker 1: as cutthroat as the NFL and transient too. That's an achievement.

1213
00:59:13,120 --> 00:59:17,360
Speaker 1: That is a feat the way these guys love each other,

1214
00:59:17,440 --> 00:59:19,640
Speaker 1: and you see it on the field, we get to

1215
00:59:19,640 --> 00:59:21,600
Speaker 1: see it in the locker room also, whether they're messing

1216
00:59:21,600 --> 00:59:23,880
Speaker 1: around with each other or you know, cracking jokes on

1217
00:59:23,920 --> 00:59:26,720
Speaker 1: each whatever it is, or even on the plane you know,

1218
00:59:26,760 --> 00:59:29,600
Speaker 1: one guy given another a hard time, you know, buster chops,

1219
00:59:29,680 --> 00:59:32,439
Speaker 1: all of that stuff. That's all that love that coach

1220
00:59:32,520 --> 00:59:37,360
Speaker 1: McDermott tried to build into this whole foundation to where

1221
00:59:37,360 --> 00:59:40,600
Speaker 1: we are now. And to see that, knowing, as you said,

1222
00:59:40,600 --> 00:59:43,880
Speaker 1: how transient this league is, how cutthroat this league can

1223
00:59:43,920 --> 00:59:47,280
Speaker 1: be with the business side of this league, that's a

1224
00:59:47,320 --> 00:59:49,440
Speaker 1: feat for That might be as biggest feat so far.

1225
00:59:50,360 --> 00:59:53,120
Speaker 1: Did you make anything of mcdermot's comments last night when

1226
00:59:53,880 --> 00:59:55,880
Speaker 1: he alluded the fact that there were people in his

1227
00:59:55,920 --> 00:59:57,760
Speaker 1: life or that he knew that gave him the word

1228
00:59:57,800 --> 00:59:59,320
Speaker 1: that said listen, you're not gonna get it turned around

1229
00:59:59,320 --> 01:00:01,600
Speaker 1: in Buffalo? I was. I think that's a big statement

1230
01:00:01,600 --> 01:00:04,040
Speaker 1: for him, because there was that sentiment out there that

1231
01:00:04,480 --> 01:00:06,200
Speaker 1: you can't do it in Buffalo. And that's why I

1232
01:00:06,200 --> 01:00:08,800
Speaker 1: think last night was the realization of it, because it

1233
01:00:08,880 --> 01:00:11,240
Speaker 1: wasn't just the players in the locker room. It was

1234
01:00:11,280 --> 01:00:16,800
Speaker 1: coach stamping stamping it and saying, yeah, I had a vision,

1235
01:00:17,440 --> 01:00:21,080
Speaker 1: I had a plan. The plan has been realized, stamp it.

1236
01:00:21,240 --> 01:00:23,560
Speaker 1: We got it turned around. Now. Where it goes from

1237
01:00:23,560 --> 01:00:29,040
Speaker 1: here remains to be seen. But the heavy lifting and

1238
01:00:29,160 --> 01:00:33,400
Speaker 1: the painful decisions, and I even said it in the piece,

1239
01:00:33,560 --> 01:00:37,360
Speaker 1: sometimes the right decisions are the unpopular ones. Trading Sammy Watkins,

1240
01:00:37,560 --> 01:00:40,320
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Training Ronald Darby, clearing out

1241
01:00:40,360 --> 01:00:43,880
Speaker 1: bad contracts of talented players that maybe didn't subscribe to

1242
01:00:44,040 --> 01:00:46,840
Speaker 1: the daily self improvement model that he wants everyone to

1243
01:00:46,840 --> 01:00:52,000
Speaker 1: subscribe to. Here, the internal player driven leadership that he

1244
01:00:52,040 --> 01:00:55,640
Speaker 1: talks about. He knew going into this season that he

1245
01:00:55,720 --> 01:01:00,600
Speaker 1: had and he gave me a number two. We've got

1246
01:01:00,680 --> 01:01:02,919
Speaker 1: ninety percent of the right guys on the bus right now,

1247
01:01:03,440 --> 01:01:06,640
Speaker 1: and I think he felt that that was enough to

1248
01:01:06,760 --> 01:01:09,320
Speaker 1: achieve what this team has achieved this season to this point.

1249
01:01:09,480 --> 01:01:11,600
Speaker 1: Chris Brown is with us. He has got us post

1250
01:01:11,680 --> 01:01:14,280
Speaker 1: up there and at Buffalo bills dot Com about Sean

1251
01:01:14,360 --> 01:01:17,440
Speaker 1: McDermott cultivating the culture here. In one bills driving you

1252
01:01:17,440 --> 01:01:21,400
Speaker 1: mentioned I'll never forget um first pregame interview I did

1253
01:01:21,440 --> 01:01:24,800
Speaker 1: with coach McDermott two years ago, first preseason game, and

1254
01:01:24,800 --> 01:01:27,600
Speaker 1: we're doing the interview down at Fisher right We're in preseason.

1255
01:01:27,880 --> 01:01:31,080
Speaker 1: He starts talking about love and I thought, what are

1256
01:01:31,080 --> 01:01:33,000
Speaker 1: you talking about? And I asked him after the interview,

1257
01:01:33,080 --> 01:01:35,640
Speaker 1: five minute radio interview, I said, what does what does

1258
01:01:35,680 --> 01:01:37,880
Speaker 1: love have to do with it? Right? And he explained

1259
01:01:37,880 --> 01:01:40,680
Speaker 1: what Tina Turner on him there? What's love got to

1260
01:01:40,680 --> 01:01:42,680
Speaker 1: do with it? But he's got a he's got a plan.

1261
01:01:43,080 --> 01:01:45,240
Speaker 1: It was part of well the culture, and a lot

1262
01:01:45,360 --> 01:01:47,680
Speaker 1: was made of how he would have players get up

1263
01:01:48,200 --> 01:01:51,200
Speaker 1: and get in front of everybody and tell their story.

1264
01:01:51,600 --> 01:01:55,160
Speaker 1: And some guys out and out spilled their guts, but

1265
01:01:55,720 --> 01:01:59,200
Speaker 1: it brought the whole group closer together. It's kind of like,

1266
01:01:59,760 --> 01:02:02,840
Speaker 1: tell everybody something we don't know about you, you know

1267
01:02:02,880 --> 01:02:05,880
Speaker 1: what I mean? And it's humanized everybody in the locker room.

1268
01:02:06,440 --> 01:02:09,000
Speaker 1: And so when you're a teammate of that guy and

1269
01:02:09,040 --> 01:02:11,240
Speaker 1: you see him grinding out there at a practice on

1270
01:02:11,280 --> 01:02:14,760
Speaker 1: a Friday when you're working on you know, third down

1271
01:02:14,880 --> 01:02:16,919
Speaker 1: or short yardage or whatever it is. And you see

1272
01:02:16,920 --> 01:02:20,040
Speaker 1: this guy grinding and he's probably guy fifty one on

1273
01:02:20,080 --> 01:02:23,360
Speaker 1: the roster, but you also know he's got four kids

1274
01:02:23,360 --> 01:02:26,080
Speaker 1: at home that he's got a feed every week. You

1275
01:02:26,200 --> 01:02:28,520
Speaker 1: think a little bit differently about that teammate and you

1276
01:02:28,640 --> 01:02:31,560
Speaker 1: respect him more and you want to take up for

1277
01:02:31,640 --> 01:02:33,800
Speaker 1: him and not let him down when it's your turn

1278
01:02:33,880 --> 01:02:36,240
Speaker 1: to go make a play. Am I right? Right? It's

1279
01:02:36,240 --> 01:02:40,480
Speaker 1: exactly right. You become and it's very quickly becomes something

1280
01:02:40,560 --> 01:02:43,560
Speaker 1: where it's bigger than just you know, the guys in

1281
01:02:43,560 --> 01:02:45,560
Speaker 1: the locker room is bigger than just you and your

1282
01:02:45,760 --> 01:02:49,160
Speaker 1: your career and all your you know, becomes your team

1283
01:02:49,160 --> 01:02:51,120
Speaker 1: becomes greater than the sum of its parts. And I

1284
01:02:51,160 --> 01:02:53,560
Speaker 1: know that's an old saying, but it really is true.

1285
01:02:53,840 --> 01:02:56,800
Speaker 1: You get a higher production out of less talent. You

1286
01:02:56,880 --> 01:03:00,200
Speaker 1: get guys making plays out of the blue, like a

1287
01:03:00,280 --> 01:03:03,480
Speaker 1: Tyler Croft one target, one touchdown. The guy's ready. Well,

1288
01:03:03,480 --> 01:03:05,720
Speaker 1: what's everybody talking about in the locker room after the

1289
01:03:05,760 --> 01:03:08,800
Speaker 1: game With Tyler? They're talking about everything he's been through,

1290
01:03:08,880 --> 01:03:12,360
Speaker 1: breaking his foot two times in the last two years,

1291
01:03:12,720 --> 01:03:15,080
Speaker 1: and then ready to play his former team in his

1292
01:03:15,120 --> 01:03:17,280
Speaker 1: first game in the Bills uniform, and he suffers a

1293
01:03:17,320 --> 01:03:20,280
Speaker 1: high ankle spraining and practice on Thursday, can't play and

1294
01:03:20,320 --> 01:03:23,160
Speaker 1: has to sit out another four weeks. And then they

1295
01:03:23,640 --> 01:03:27,240
Speaker 1: so they know the journey. And so when he scores

1296
01:03:27,280 --> 01:03:30,680
Speaker 1: that touchdown yesterday, there's four guys on top of him

1297
01:03:30,760 --> 01:03:33,840
Speaker 1: in about five seconds, and two of them are offensive lineman,

1298
01:03:34,040 --> 01:03:37,120
Speaker 1: Quintin Spain and Mitch Morrise. They're all over and Devin

1299
01:03:37,200 --> 01:03:39,320
Speaker 1: Singletary is the next guy on the scene. I mean

1300
01:03:39,360 --> 01:03:43,120
Speaker 1: that is and the thing that I would say is

1301
01:03:43,160 --> 01:03:47,280
Speaker 1: the most different about this team based on previous Bills teams,

1302
01:03:47,800 --> 01:03:52,000
Speaker 1: is I think it's easy to get a unit bonded together.

1303
01:03:52,120 --> 01:03:55,800
Speaker 1: You know, the offensive group, they're tight, they're bonded offensive line.

1304
01:03:55,960 --> 01:03:58,920
Speaker 1: That's an easy group to pull together. This crosses sides

1305
01:03:58,960 --> 01:04:03,200
Speaker 1: of the ball, its phases of the team, and I

1306
01:04:03,240 --> 01:04:06,160
Speaker 1: don't know that we've seen that to this degree with

1307
01:04:06,240 --> 01:04:09,600
Speaker 1: a lot of previous Bill squats. Chris Brown is in

1308
01:04:09,640 --> 01:04:11,480
Speaker 1: studio with us for the next couple of minutes. We'll

1309
01:04:11,480 --> 01:04:13,080
Speaker 1: get to your phone calls for Chris in a moment

1310
01:04:13,160 --> 01:04:14,920
Speaker 1: or two. I don't want to dwell on this, but

1311
01:04:15,000 --> 01:04:16,480
Speaker 1: this came up in the last segments Eve and I

1312
01:04:16,560 --> 01:04:18,880
Speaker 1: were talking and Lee Smith said something last night, Chris,

1313
01:04:18,880 --> 01:04:21,560
Speaker 1: they got me thinking about They was asked about while

1314
01:04:21,600 --> 01:04:23,080
Speaker 1: you're six and one on the road and how did

1315
01:04:23,080 --> 01:04:25,800
Speaker 1: that happen? And he mentioned the Carolina trip second week

1316
01:04:25,840 --> 01:04:29,280
Speaker 1: of August and training camp trip, practices at Spartanburg and

1317
01:04:29,360 --> 01:04:31,040
Speaker 1: a game in Charlotte by the end of the week.

1318
01:04:33,200 --> 01:04:34,919
Speaker 1: I can't put my finger on it, but I've heard

1319
01:04:34,920 --> 01:04:36,880
Speaker 1: it a couple times from players. Something happened to this

1320
01:04:36,920 --> 01:04:39,240
Speaker 1: team during that week on the road. I mean, I'm

1321
01:04:39,280 --> 01:04:41,120
Speaker 1: thinking to remember when they stopped for ice cream right

1322
01:04:41,160 --> 01:04:45,000
Speaker 1: on the way from Spartanburg to Charlotte. Yeah, stop, shake too,

1323
01:04:45,120 --> 01:04:47,920
Speaker 1: did you? They were good? But you know what I mean,

1324
01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:51,640
Speaker 1: Something happened in a team bonding chemistry since that week

1325
01:04:51,680 --> 01:04:54,240
Speaker 1: in Carolina South and North Carolina. Yeah, I think it.

1326
01:04:54,800 --> 01:05:00,280
Speaker 1: I think it galvanized and cemented the bond that had

1327
01:05:00,320 --> 01:05:03,720
Speaker 1: been established for the most part over the first two

1328
01:05:03,720 --> 01:05:09,120
Speaker 1: seasons under McDermott. But this was, especially on the offensive

1329
01:05:09,120 --> 01:05:12,440
Speaker 1: side of the ball, a completely new group and so

1330
01:05:13,280 --> 01:05:16,680
Speaker 1: there was there were new bonds that had to take

1331
01:05:16,800 --> 01:05:21,880
Speaker 1: route and get cemented, especially on that side of the ball.

1332
01:05:21,960 --> 01:05:25,840
Speaker 1: And I think training camp had its purpose going away there.

1333
01:05:25,880 --> 01:05:28,280
Speaker 1: But I think just being around each other twenty four

1334
01:05:28,280 --> 01:05:31,680
Speaker 1: to seven for four or five days and being in

1335
01:05:31,760 --> 01:05:35,040
Speaker 1: it and kind of suffering through the heat because I

1336
01:05:35,080 --> 01:05:37,480
Speaker 1: think we all remember how wicked hot it was down there,

1337
01:05:38,120 --> 01:05:42,600
Speaker 1: and I think going through all of those things together

1338
01:05:43,760 --> 01:05:47,760
Speaker 1: served a purpose. And I think because of that, it

1339
01:05:47,920 --> 01:05:52,560
Speaker 1: accelerated the togetherness. And I think the guys on the

1340
01:05:52,600 --> 01:05:57,200
Speaker 1: offense knew with nine new starters, it's going to be

1341
01:05:57,240 --> 01:05:59,240
Speaker 1: a heavy lift. We either do it together or it

1342
01:05:59,280 --> 01:06:01,880
Speaker 1: ain't gonna happen. It's just not gonna happen. And even

1343
01:06:02,000 --> 01:06:05,600
Speaker 1: with that approach, guys, it took about half the season.

1344
01:06:05,760 --> 01:06:09,200
Speaker 1: It still took half the season for that to become

1345
01:06:10,240 --> 01:06:14,320
Speaker 1: a more effective group. And I don't think and they're

1346
01:06:14,360 --> 01:06:16,920
Speaker 1: still not there yet. They're not there, yeah, but I

1347
01:06:16,920 --> 01:06:20,240
Speaker 1: would think that there is. Certainly it's in there somewhere.

1348
01:06:20,240 --> 01:06:22,880
Speaker 1: They got to find it. And I alluded to this earlier.

1349
01:06:22,920 --> 01:06:24,840
Speaker 1: This offense needs to be more efficient. And what I

1350
01:06:25,200 --> 01:06:27,920
Speaker 1: said when I met Brownie was like, for instance, in

1351
01:06:27,960 --> 01:06:31,600
Speaker 1: that first half last night, you saw Josh step up

1352
01:06:31,600 --> 01:06:33,760
Speaker 1: in the pocket and Cole Beasley was covered, and he

1353
01:06:33,840 --> 01:06:40,240
Speaker 1: broke to Josh's left and Beasley's right and Josh gunned

1354
01:06:40,240 --> 01:06:42,360
Speaker 1: it in and Beasley dropped it. Then there was the

1355
01:06:42,480 --> 01:06:45,320
Speaker 1: high ball to John Brown on a big deep dig

1356
01:06:45,400 --> 01:06:46,880
Speaker 1: route over the middle where he jumped up kind of

1357
01:06:46,880 --> 01:06:48,680
Speaker 1: alligator armed it and Kit didn't come down when he

1358
01:06:48,760 --> 01:06:50,640
Speaker 1: dropped that. And then there was a real quick out

1359
01:06:50,640 --> 01:06:53,560
Speaker 1: to John Brown where Josh threw it sky high over

1360
01:06:53,600 --> 01:06:56,240
Speaker 1: his head. Three plays like that, and there are others

1361
01:06:56,320 --> 01:06:59,520
Speaker 1: like that throughout the game where they're easy completions. Maybe

1362
01:06:59,520 --> 01:07:03,600
Speaker 1: not easy, but certainly they're to be made, positive plays

1363
01:07:03,600 --> 01:07:05,760
Speaker 1: to be made that they miss on that if you

1364
01:07:05,880 --> 01:07:08,280
Speaker 1: catch those, the Cohold game, you know, spins positive. And

1365
01:07:09,360 --> 01:07:12,080
Speaker 1: that's been a troubling statistic for them. They went into

1366
01:07:12,120 --> 01:07:14,160
Speaker 1: the game last night second in the league and drop

1367
01:07:14,200 --> 01:07:17,520
Speaker 1: passes with twenty They probably had safe to say, three

1368
01:07:17,560 --> 01:07:22,000
Speaker 1: more yesterday and that's got to get fixed. But Josh

1369
01:07:22,040 --> 01:07:28,480
Speaker 1: on him to me, he was jacked up, you know,

1370
01:07:28,600 --> 01:07:32,880
Speaker 1: Sunday night football, bright lights, big stage. He gets up

1371
01:07:32,880 --> 01:07:35,400
Speaker 1: for those, which I think is a good thing. But

1372
01:07:35,760 --> 01:07:38,360
Speaker 1: he's got he's got to turn the dial down on

1373
01:07:38,440 --> 01:07:42,120
Speaker 1: his arm. Because there were a couple well, and the

1374
01:07:42,160 --> 01:07:44,160
Speaker 1: one that resulted in the interception. I know a lot

1375
01:07:44,160 --> 01:07:47,000
Speaker 1: of people are putting that on Beasley. But that was

1376
01:07:47,040 --> 01:07:50,160
Speaker 1: a high ball to your shortest receiver on the team,

1377
01:07:50,640 --> 01:07:52,440
Speaker 1: and he's still trying to make a play on it

1378
01:07:52,520 --> 01:07:55,400
Speaker 1: for you in the middle where people can get wrecked,

1379
01:07:55,760 --> 01:07:59,400
Speaker 1: as you know, and it goes into a tip drill

1380
01:07:59,440 --> 01:08:03,440
Speaker 1: turnover for the Steelers. But Josh gotta take I know

1381
01:08:03,520 --> 01:08:05,920
Speaker 1: he's trying to stick it in there, but it can't

1382
01:08:05,920 --> 01:08:08,200
Speaker 1: be at eleven. It's got to be at eight or nine.

1383
01:08:08,960 --> 01:08:10,960
Speaker 1: And then maybe it doesn't sail on him as much,

1384
01:08:10,960 --> 01:08:12,800
Speaker 1: because I thought it sailed on him a little bit.

1385
01:08:12,840 --> 01:08:15,520
Speaker 1: He strided. He took a big stride on that throw,

1386
01:08:16,080 --> 01:08:18,120
Speaker 1: and when you overstride sometimes it sails on you a

1387
01:08:18,160 --> 01:08:21,000
Speaker 1: little bit. It didn't sail, but for a five eight receiver,

1388
01:08:21,080 --> 01:08:23,840
Speaker 1: it was high. Yeah. I think both John Brown and

1389
01:08:23,960 --> 01:08:25,880
Speaker 1: Cole Beasley knew they were kind of hung out on that.

1390
01:08:26,080 --> 01:08:29,720
Speaker 1: And I even on the tip pass, Beasley felt Fitzpatrick

1391
01:08:29,800 --> 01:08:32,880
Speaker 1: come and Fitzpatrick didn't hit him but ran right by

1392
01:08:32,960 --> 01:08:35,479
Speaker 1: him after the ball was tipped, and it was it

1393
01:08:35,680 --> 01:08:38,720
Speaker 1: was see, you know, Fitzpatrick kind of let him come down.

1394
01:08:39,200 --> 01:08:41,840
Speaker 1: That was a that was a crusher of a catch,

1395
01:08:41,880 --> 01:08:43,920
Speaker 1: and I think John Brown also had the same kind

1396
01:08:43,920 --> 01:08:46,080
Speaker 1: of thing. Happened to him. Josh hung him out a

1397
01:08:46,120 --> 01:08:48,800
Speaker 1: little bit. And and and this is gonna be This

1398
01:08:48,880 --> 01:08:54,280
Speaker 1: is the next step for Josh. It's about consistent ball location.

1399
01:08:54,439 --> 01:08:58,200
Speaker 1: Oh sure, consistent ball location and this and this was

1400
01:08:58,240 --> 01:09:00,320
Speaker 1: the concern of a lot of people coming out because

1401
01:09:00,320 --> 01:09:04,320
Speaker 1: you can see it's there. The ability to make those

1402
01:09:04,360 --> 01:09:07,760
Speaker 1: plays is in him now. He just has to get

1403
01:09:07,800 --> 01:09:11,840
Speaker 1: to a point where the ball location is consistent. And

1404
01:09:11,880 --> 01:09:13,519
Speaker 1: like we said last week, I said it right here

1405
01:09:13,600 --> 01:09:17,560
Speaker 1: last week, He's never gonna be Aaron Rodgers right or

1406
01:09:17,680 --> 01:09:19,920
Speaker 1: Drew Brees. He's never going to be a sixty eight

1407
01:09:19,920 --> 01:09:23,280
Speaker 1: to seventy percent completion guy. Ever, no matter how good

1408
01:09:23,280 --> 01:09:25,000
Speaker 1: he gets, I don't think he's ever going to be that.

1409
01:09:25,000 --> 01:09:27,679
Speaker 1: That's not who he is. You need him to get

1410
01:09:27,720 --> 01:09:31,200
Speaker 1: to somewhere between sixty three and sixty five percent. If

1411
01:09:31,200 --> 01:09:35,080
Speaker 1: he can get there, he can be a winning quarterback

1412
01:09:35,680 --> 01:09:38,120
Speaker 1: perennially in this league. With Chris Brown, He's got a

1413
01:09:38,120 --> 01:09:40,040
Speaker 1: few minutes left with us, and got a couple of

1414
01:09:40,080 --> 01:09:42,040
Speaker 1: other things to talk about with you, Chris. Going into

1415
01:09:42,080 --> 01:09:44,600
Speaker 1: that game the Steeler last night, the Steelers were the

1416
01:09:44,640 --> 01:09:47,080
Speaker 1: team with all the takeaways and the Bills got three

1417
01:09:47,120 --> 01:09:49,120
Speaker 1: more than they got. The Steelers were the team with

1418
01:09:49,200 --> 01:09:51,000
Speaker 1: all the sacks, and Bills got three more sacks than

1419
01:09:51,040 --> 01:09:55,040
Speaker 1: they got Buffalo's. The Bills are better defensively now than

1420
01:09:55,040 --> 01:09:57,120
Speaker 1: they were even a month ago. They've got ten takeaways

1421
01:09:57,360 --> 01:10:00,000
Speaker 1: in the last five games and they're plus five now. Yeah,

1422
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:02,640
Speaker 1: the plus five. Now, they're better now. And let's just

1423
01:10:02,960 --> 01:10:06,120
Speaker 1: let's just for a minute pause and think about the

1424
01:10:06,200 --> 01:10:09,479
Speaker 1: mountain they had to climb to get into plus turnover

1425
01:10:09,560 --> 01:10:13,559
Speaker 1: margin territory. After the start that Josh had with what

1426
01:10:13,600 --> 01:10:17,800
Speaker 1: was it eight turnovers in ten ten in the first

1427
01:10:17,800 --> 01:10:20,360
Speaker 1: four games, I mean that put them in a gigantic

1428
01:10:20,439 --> 01:10:22,880
Speaker 1: hole where they were on the minus side for most

1429
01:10:22,920 --> 01:10:25,400
Speaker 1: of the season, and they finally got their head above water.

1430
01:10:25,439 --> 01:10:27,280
Speaker 1: I want to say three weeks ago they went plus

1431
01:10:27,320 --> 01:10:32,240
Speaker 1: one and now now they're plus five, and uh, I

1432
01:10:32,280 --> 01:10:34,240
Speaker 1: think they made the case that they are a better

1433
01:10:34,280 --> 01:10:36,559
Speaker 1: defense than the Steeler to defense that was getting so

1434
01:10:36,680 --> 01:10:41,479
Speaker 1: badly hood and and trumpeted as this, uh team saver

1435
01:10:41,800 --> 01:10:44,400
Speaker 1: and it's why the Steelers are, you know, seven and

1436
01:10:44,479 --> 01:10:46,439
Speaker 1: five or eight and five whatever they were going into

1437
01:10:46,520 --> 01:10:50,880
Speaker 1: last night's game. And that's not inaccurate, that's correct, But

1438
01:10:52,200 --> 01:10:55,160
Speaker 1: I think the Bills proved even though they may not

1439
01:10:55,280 --> 01:10:59,800
Speaker 1: have a true star like a T. J. Watt Um.

1440
01:11:00,040 --> 01:11:03,479
Speaker 1: He's not in the front seven, right, they are a

1441
01:11:03,520 --> 01:11:08,200
Speaker 1: better team defense than the Steelers are. And I think

1442
01:11:08,280 --> 01:11:11,759
Speaker 1: that is that is the identity of the Bills defense.

1443
01:11:12,120 --> 01:11:14,960
Speaker 1: They're an eleven man defense. They're not a two or

1444
01:11:15,040 --> 01:11:23,240
Speaker 1: three players. They got start White, Trey is there, um,

1445
01:11:23,320 --> 01:11:26,000
Speaker 1: Micah Hyde's been to a Pro Bowl. And then you've

1446
01:11:26,000 --> 01:11:29,720
Speaker 1: got emerging players like Milano Edmunds, Jordan Phillips. You've got

1447
01:11:29,720 --> 01:11:33,960
Speaker 1: emerging players, even Shack. I mean Shack is having a

1448
01:11:34,000 --> 01:11:40,680
Speaker 1: career years. Not just as a pass rusher, Shack is

1449
01:11:40,720 --> 01:11:45,679
Speaker 1: a really improved run defender. I mean he has put

1450
01:11:45,800 --> 01:11:48,960
Speaker 1: it all together. And is it? Is it because it's

1451
01:11:48,960 --> 01:11:51,640
Speaker 1: a contract here, I'm sure that's part of it. And

1452
01:11:51,760 --> 01:11:54,360
Speaker 1: same thing for Jordan Phillips. These guys want to make

1453
01:11:54,400 --> 01:11:58,040
Speaker 1: money on a big second contract. I get it. Nothing wrong,

1454
01:11:58,439 --> 01:12:00,439
Speaker 1: nothing wrong with that. We've talked about it as well.

1455
01:12:01,080 --> 01:12:03,639
Speaker 1: That and it doesn't get as much credit we talked

1456
01:12:03,640 --> 01:12:06,519
Speaker 1: about a little earlier. The player development. I mean all

1457
01:12:06,560 --> 01:12:10,519
Speaker 1: the way down the roster. Players continue to get better weekend,

1458
01:12:10,560 --> 01:12:12,680
Speaker 1: week out, month in, month out in this season from

1459
01:12:12,720 --> 01:12:15,320
Speaker 1: last year to this year, everybody gets better and that

1460
01:12:15,920 --> 01:12:18,080
Speaker 1: you don't see that a lot in the NFL or

1461
01:12:18,120 --> 01:12:20,480
Speaker 1: not everywhere in the NFL. And that's why coach McDermott

1462
01:12:20,560 --> 01:12:24,280
Speaker 1: is always quick to credit his assistant coaches, whether it's

1463
01:12:24,600 --> 01:12:29,360
Speaker 1: game plan from the coordinators, whether it's individual player excelling

1464
01:12:29,880 --> 01:12:32,920
Speaker 1: for whatever reason. We're Ack was Shack loss and three

1465
01:12:33,000 --> 01:12:37,320
Speaker 1: years ago he was a wayward player, always hurt, nicked up,

1466
01:12:37,600 --> 01:12:41,040
Speaker 1: not taking care of his body. And McDermott and his

1467
01:12:41,080 --> 01:12:45,680
Speaker 1: staff come in. He's a different player. He's a completely

1468
01:12:45,880 --> 01:12:49,920
Speaker 1: revolutionized player. He looks like a first round draft pick now.

1469
01:12:50,000 --> 01:12:52,400
Speaker 1: And they didn't discard him, which would have been was

1470
01:12:52,439 --> 01:12:55,160
Speaker 1: the expectation for many. Well, they would have if he

1471
01:12:55,200 --> 01:12:57,960
Speaker 1: didn't buy in. Yeah, and to Shacks, because Shack deserves

1472
01:12:58,000 --> 01:13:01,200
Speaker 1: some credit here too. He bought in because he watched

1473
01:13:01,200 --> 01:13:03,800
Speaker 1: that twenty seventeen playoff game from his couch. He was

1474
01:13:03,840 --> 01:13:06,960
Speaker 1: out injured, he was on IR and he said, I'm

1475
01:13:06,960 --> 01:13:09,800
Speaker 1: never letting this happen again. And now here he is

1476
01:13:09,800 --> 01:13:13,960
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen, and he is a preeminent player on

1477
01:13:13,960 --> 01:13:16,639
Speaker 1: that defensive front. I mean, you could make the argument

1478
01:13:17,400 --> 01:13:19,559
Speaker 1: if he's not the best defensive end on the team,

1479
01:13:19,600 --> 01:13:25,120
Speaker 1: He's second. He's second being I mean in terms yet

1480
01:13:25,160 --> 01:13:28,400
Speaker 1: to being an all around player, and Jerry's Jerry's having

1481
01:13:28,439 --> 01:13:32,880
Speaker 1: a tough time right now. I wonder about that groin injury.

1482
01:13:33,240 --> 01:13:36,160
Speaker 1: I really do. I don't know anything. I don't know anything,

1483
01:13:36,520 --> 01:13:38,960
Speaker 1: but he's been dealing with a nagging groin injury since

1484
01:13:39,000 --> 01:13:42,840
Speaker 1: about mid season, and just watching the way he plays,

1485
01:13:43,960 --> 01:13:46,640
Speaker 1: I think he's he's fighting through it right now, and

1486
01:13:46,680 --> 01:13:48,680
Speaker 1: I think people are like, well, why is Jerry Hugh

1487
01:13:48,680 --> 01:13:51,439
Speaker 1: struggling so much? I think there's a there's a groin

1488
01:13:51,600 --> 01:13:56,799
Speaker 1: problem there that is compromising his level of play, because

1489
01:13:57,760 --> 01:14:01,960
Speaker 1: I think we all know that Jerry is of more

1490
01:14:02,000 --> 01:14:04,600
Speaker 1: than we're seeing from him. And it's not because his

1491
01:14:04,840 --> 01:14:08,120
Speaker 1: skills are eroding by any means. I think it's I

1492
01:14:08,160 --> 01:14:11,519
Speaker 1: think it's tied to a groin issue that I think

1493
01:14:11,600 --> 01:14:13,639
Speaker 1: is going to nag him the rest of the year. Unfortunate,

1494
01:14:13,640 --> 01:14:15,519
Speaker 1: we've seen him get some days off during the week.

1495
01:14:15,880 --> 01:14:18,080
Speaker 1: Did not preach two last week rest? Yeah, I mean

1496
01:14:18,120 --> 01:14:21,400
Speaker 1: that's that and probably more this week. It's a short week.

1497
01:14:21,479 --> 01:14:23,760
Speaker 1: Really telling, I think, Chris, um, we gotta let you

1498
01:14:23,800 --> 01:14:25,920
Speaker 1: go here because you got work to do. But um,

1499
01:14:25,960 --> 01:14:28,160
Speaker 1: how do we approach these final two regular season games,

1500
01:14:28,160 --> 01:14:31,160
Speaker 1: playoff birth in their back pocket, a chance still an

1501
01:14:31,160 --> 01:14:34,600
Speaker 1: outside remote chance at a division title. What is the

1502
01:14:34,640 --> 01:14:36,400
Speaker 1: approach for the Bills? What's your approach going to be

1503
01:14:36,400 --> 01:14:40,960
Speaker 1: these final two regular seasons? I think offensively, you have

1504
01:14:41,040 --> 01:14:43,719
Speaker 1: to leave everybody on the field, whether you've got stuff

1505
01:14:43,800 --> 01:14:46,479
Speaker 1: locked up or your playoffs. Even a week seventeen, I

1506
01:14:46,520 --> 01:14:48,760
Speaker 1: think you have to. Are you sure? I'll talk about

1507
01:14:48,800 --> 01:14:53,200
Speaker 1: that next week. I think there's there's ground. The amount

1508
01:14:53,240 --> 01:14:56,400
Speaker 1: of ground that this offense has to cover to be

1509
01:14:56,520 --> 01:15:01,720
Speaker 1: playoff ready, I think necessitates that they play these last

1510
01:15:01,760 --> 01:15:05,639
Speaker 1: two weeks in totality. If you want to, I'll make

1511
01:15:05,680 --> 01:15:08,479
Speaker 1: a couple of exceptions. Okay, you want to rest John

1512
01:15:08,520 --> 01:15:13,200
Speaker 1: Brown in week seventeen, I'll buy that for a dollar.

1513
01:15:13,680 --> 01:15:16,080
Speaker 1: But I think Josh Allen has to play. I think

1514
01:15:16,160 --> 01:15:19,120
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary has to play. I think some of these

1515
01:15:19,160 --> 01:15:21,639
Speaker 1: younger guys, are you talking about this week or next week?

1516
01:15:21,720 --> 01:15:23,920
Speaker 1: I'm talking the rest of the regular season because they're

1517
01:15:23,960 --> 01:15:27,439
Speaker 1: too see. I think they're two different decisions. I think

1518
01:15:27,439 --> 01:15:30,759
Speaker 1: they are. This week I think is paramount. Everybody plays,

1519
01:15:30,800 --> 01:15:33,599
Speaker 1: Everybody goes hard, and you try with the slight chance

1520
01:15:33,640 --> 01:15:35,880
Speaker 1: they have to win the division. That's your goal. But

1521
01:15:35,960 --> 01:15:38,160
Speaker 1: if things don't work out, or if things well, if

1522
01:15:38,160 --> 01:15:40,760
Speaker 1: things work out, then everybody plays Week seventeen too. I've

1523
01:15:40,760 --> 01:15:44,920
Speaker 1: always been in favor of playing. Now, if someone's fighting

1524
01:15:45,000 --> 01:15:47,960
Speaker 1: through an injury, like Jerry Hughes probably is with his groin,

1525
01:15:48,920 --> 01:15:52,200
Speaker 1: you sit him. Okay, those those are the exceptions to

1526
01:15:52,240 --> 01:15:55,880
Speaker 1: the rule. But I think we just said it two

1527
01:15:55,920 --> 01:15:58,519
Speaker 1: minutes ago with the ground that this offense still has

1528
01:15:58,560 --> 01:16:02,479
Speaker 1: to cover to be playoff. This kind of offense is

1529
01:16:02,479 --> 01:16:04,320
Speaker 1: not going to win in the playoffs. You can't score

1530
01:16:04,360 --> 01:16:06,760
Speaker 1: seventeen points and be the playoff team. And I said this,

1531
01:16:06,840 --> 01:16:08,439
Speaker 1: and I don't. We gotta get you out of here.

1532
01:16:08,479 --> 01:16:11,320
Speaker 1: But did I say the same the air? Did I

1533
01:16:11,320 --> 01:16:13,360
Speaker 1: say it in the other room? Might have been show

1534
01:16:14,040 --> 01:16:15,960
Speaker 1: I'm not giving up on this offense. But I think

1535
01:16:16,080 --> 01:16:17,680
Speaker 1: this is who they are. Yeah I say that in

1536
01:16:17,680 --> 01:16:19,320
Speaker 1: the air, Yeah he did. This is who they are,

1537
01:16:19,800 --> 01:16:22,600
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. They're a defensive team that struggles.

1538
01:16:23,120 --> 01:16:25,880
Speaker 1: I don't think there's an explosion, an offensive explosion. A way,

1539
01:16:25,920 --> 01:16:28,080
Speaker 1: there's an offensive explosion, but I think they have to

1540
01:16:28,080 --> 01:16:31,240
Speaker 1: find a way to get from seventeen to twenty three

1541
01:16:31,360 --> 01:16:35,200
Speaker 1: or twenty four for twenty playoff teams in the NFL

1542
01:16:35,400 --> 01:16:38,960
Speaker 1: over the last ten years, on average score twenty four

1543
01:16:38,960 --> 01:16:43,680
Speaker 1: points a game. And that's considering that most of the

1544
01:16:43,680 --> 01:16:47,160
Speaker 1: teams in the playoffs are somewhere between the top ten

1545
01:16:47,200 --> 01:16:51,879
Speaker 1: and top fifteen in the league defensively. Now, fortunately for Buffalo,

1546
01:16:52,320 --> 01:16:56,680
Speaker 1: Houston's an outlier, they're twenty eighth in defense. That's a

1547
01:16:56,680 --> 01:16:59,360
Speaker 1: team you want to play because that helps your offense

1548
01:17:00,080 --> 01:17:02,400
Speaker 1: get to twenty three or twenty four points, and then

1549
01:17:02,439 --> 01:17:04,680
Speaker 1: your defense has to be good enough to hold that

1550
01:17:04,720 --> 01:17:06,920
Speaker 1: opponent down. And under that, I got two things. One,

1551
01:17:07,040 --> 01:17:10,400
Speaker 1: if if you beat New England this weekend, you're going

1552
01:17:10,479 --> 01:17:13,360
Speaker 1: gangbusters trying to beat the Jets on Week seventeen. If

1553
01:17:13,400 --> 01:17:15,400
Speaker 1: if somehow you go in lose a close one to

1554
01:17:15,439 --> 01:17:19,400
Speaker 1: New England, Week seventeen is a bye week, playoff bye

1555
01:17:19,400 --> 01:17:22,400
Speaker 1: week that you didn't get by when the vision I've

1556
01:17:22,439 --> 01:17:25,439
Speaker 1: never I've never been a fan of taking your foot

1557
01:17:25,479 --> 01:17:27,679
Speaker 1: offers as you have been in Miss seventeen. Car wrecks

1558
01:17:27,880 --> 01:17:31,400
Speaker 1: right right, and and there are exceptions. There are exceptions

1559
01:17:31,479 --> 01:17:33,479
Speaker 1: now like your team and then there's only fifty three

1560
01:17:33,520 --> 01:17:35,120
Speaker 1: guys on the roster, so there's one so much you

1561
01:17:35,160 --> 01:17:37,559
Speaker 1: can do. Right, But John, you were you were a

1562
01:17:37,600 --> 01:17:39,640
Speaker 1: part of a veteran team that knew what it was

1563
01:17:39,680 --> 01:17:41,320
Speaker 1: like to win in the playoffs. You had been to

1564
01:17:41,360 --> 01:17:44,960
Speaker 1: the playoffs perennially, and you essentially played five seasons in

1565
01:17:45,040 --> 01:17:47,880
Speaker 1: four we had with all your playoff games, we had

1566
01:17:48,120 --> 01:17:51,200
Speaker 1: as as a culture like this one though, Right, But

1567
01:17:51,200 --> 01:17:53,599
Speaker 1: but you were. You were a veteran team that knew

1568
01:17:53,600 --> 01:17:55,800
Speaker 1: how to get there, knew what to do in the playoffs.

1569
01:17:56,280 --> 01:17:58,880
Speaker 1: I don't know that you can't say this about this

1570
01:17:58,920 --> 01:18:03,120
Speaker 1: team because the playoff experience isn't there. So my inclination

1571
01:18:03,520 --> 01:18:05,720
Speaker 1: is keep your foot on the gas all the way

1572
01:18:05,760 --> 01:18:10,000
Speaker 1: through the end, so you're that much more ready for

1573
01:18:10,080 --> 01:18:12,120
Speaker 1: what playoff football is gonna be. What was going through

1574
01:18:12,160 --> 01:18:17,280
Speaker 1: your mind when Turdevious White stayed down with the shoulder? Uh? Yeah,

1575
01:18:17,320 --> 01:18:19,639
Speaker 1: I gasped a little bit. A week off, you take

1576
01:18:19,680 --> 01:18:22,200
Speaker 1: a week off, you're not gonna have I said, there

1577
01:18:22,200 --> 01:18:25,160
Speaker 1: are exceptions. I mean, you want to see Jerry toe

1578
01:18:25,200 --> 01:18:29,200
Speaker 1: against the Jets and a thirty one point blowout, I

1579
01:18:29,240 --> 01:18:31,920
Speaker 1: mean you give him the week off because this is

1580
01:18:32,080 --> 01:18:34,519
Speaker 1: this is a crew that has not been is not

1581
01:18:34,640 --> 01:18:37,360
Speaker 1: a crew that's full of guys like Odell Beckham Junior

1582
01:18:37,720 --> 01:18:40,680
Speaker 1: and who's gonna go down to a fishing boat on

1583
01:18:40,760 --> 01:18:43,320
Speaker 1: the off week? You know what I'm saying, This group's

1584
01:18:43,320 --> 01:18:44,840
Speaker 1: gonna show up and they're gonna be in it together.

1585
01:18:44,880 --> 01:18:46,880
Speaker 1: And plus when I say bye week, listen, there's only

1586
01:18:46,880 --> 01:18:48,760
Speaker 1: fifty three guys on the roster. She's gonna change out.

1587
01:18:48,800 --> 01:18:54,120
Speaker 1: What six guys? You sit? Josh, you sit, Motor, you

1588
01:18:54,200 --> 01:18:57,280
Speaker 1: sit Frank Gore, you t j Yelden and Snorris Perry

1589
01:18:57,320 --> 01:19:00,400
Speaker 1: play the game? Uh? You know that kind of thing.

1590
01:19:00,520 --> 01:19:02,160
Speaker 1: If that's if you don't have a chance to win

1591
01:19:02,200 --> 01:19:04,080
Speaker 1: the division, have you got any kind of if you

1592
01:19:04,120 --> 01:19:08,240
Speaker 1: beat the Patriots this weekend? The Jets get punched right

1593
01:19:08,240 --> 01:19:11,160
Speaker 1: in the mouth with everybody guns blazing and we're all

1594
01:19:11,240 --> 01:19:16,800
Speaker 1: cheering for Ryan Fitzpatrick. All right, magic is absolutely fits

1595
01:19:17,280 --> 01:19:22,160
Speaker 1: last final act, final act. That's the funnest part of

1596
01:19:22,160 --> 01:19:26,400
Speaker 1: this week if the statue. Can you imagine how fun

1597
01:19:26,439 --> 01:19:29,760
Speaker 1: that would be watching that? If you win out, if

1598
01:19:29,760 --> 01:19:32,720
Speaker 1: the Beards, if the Bills went out and get a

1599
01:19:32,800 --> 01:19:36,200
Speaker 1: chance to watch Ryan Fitzpatrick play against the Patriots in Foxborough.

1600
01:19:36,280 --> 01:19:39,240
Speaker 1: It's like it's just it's just you could probably you

1601
01:19:39,280 --> 01:19:42,000
Speaker 1: could probably sneak it that fits bust into city Hall.

1602
01:19:42,040 --> 01:19:44,120
Speaker 1: I mean he almost looks like a Grover Cleveland, that

1603
01:19:44,200 --> 01:19:49,840
Speaker 1: doesn't It looks like so what we'd all have to

1604
01:19:49,920 --> 01:19:52,080
Speaker 1: watch that right in there, people be walking right by

1605
01:19:52,120 --> 01:19:53,720
Speaker 1: it there. That would be the that would be the

1606
01:19:53,720 --> 01:19:55,960
Speaker 1: absolute best watch party of all times. Well, you got

1607
01:19:56,000 --> 01:19:58,240
Speaker 1: this afternoon, you got sewn at four coordinators of fright

1608
01:19:58,520 --> 01:20:00,920
Speaker 1: for that, we're gonna have our noteworthy numbers out and

1609
01:20:01,080 --> 01:20:04,280
Speaker 1: are accelerated. Yeah, today about three thirty, we'll have it

1610
01:20:04,360 --> 01:20:08,920
Speaker 1: up there, and I'll leave you with this. This will

1611
01:20:08,960 --> 01:20:13,040
Speaker 1: be contained in the noteworthy numbers Kylin this afternoon. There

1612
01:20:13,040 --> 01:20:18,160
Speaker 1: are two defensive players on the roster that have a

1613
01:20:18,240 --> 01:20:24,719
Speaker 1: crooked number in every single defensive categories. Only two. So

1614
01:20:25,320 --> 01:20:31,240
Speaker 1: obviously season statistics. Defensively, they've got production in every defensive category.

1615
01:20:31,400 --> 01:20:36,479
Speaker 1: Obviously everybody's got tackles, but I'm talking about sacks, tackles

1616
01:20:36,479 --> 01:20:42,000
Speaker 1: for loss, forced fumbles and stumble recoveries, interceptions, pass breakups.

1617
01:20:42,240 --> 01:20:45,240
Speaker 1: They've got numbers in every one of those categories, and

1618
01:20:45,280 --> 01:20:48,880
Speaker 1: there are only two. I'll let you chew on that one.

1619
01:20:48,920 --> 01:20:52,160
Speaker 1: I'll let you chew on those ahead and guess Trent

1620
01:20:52,240 --> 01:20:56,800
Speaker 1: Murphy's one of them really yep, wow, and it's two

1621
01:20:56,800 --> 01:21:00,400
Speaker 1: of the more unheralded players on defense and they deserve rops.

1622
01:21:02,200 --> 01:21:04,960
Speaker 1: I don't know, it might be shock, Nope, not check

1623
01:21:05,360 --> 01:21:07,240
Speaker 1: look for that at three thirty guests. Chris got a

1656
01:22:51,479 --> 01:22:55,479
Speaker 1: Why does New England win the East if we built

1657
01:22:55,479 --> 01:22:59,080
Speaker 1: both finished twelve and four. It's common opponents. They have

Speaker 1: They've got. Let's I'll just tell you the Bills got

1665
01:23:31,000 --> 01:23:33,719
Speaker 1: by the Eagles. So they've got two wins of common

1666
01:23:33,760 --> 01:23:39,000
Speaker 1: opponents that Bills that the Bills lost to. Thanks for Corling.

1667
01:23:39,120 --> 01:23:41,639
Speaker 1: Let's go to John and Jupiter, Florida. Hello, John, Welcome

1668
01:23:41,640 --> 01:23:47,559
Speaker 1: to the show. Are you there John? Are you going John?

1669
01:23:47,800 --> 01:23:50,040
Speaker 1: I think we launched John? How about John and Lockport? John?

1670
01:23:50,040 --> 01:23:53,000
Speaker 1: Are you still there? Yeah, I'm still here, guys. Good.

1671
01:23:54,439 --> 01:23:56,280
Speaker 1: I got a couple of things. The first off, let's

1672
01:23:56,280 --> 01:23:59,280
Speaker 1: go baby, we're playoff bounds. But I also want to

1673
01:23:59,640 --> 01:24:02,680
Speaker 1: say on the Twitter poll, I mean, obviously making the

1674
01:24:02,680 --> 01:24:04,599
Speaker 1: playoffs is good, but I think, well, my main thing

1675
01:24:04,680 --> 01:24:06,760
Speaker 1: is I'm only twenty five, so you know, I've been

1676
01:24:07,400 --> 01:24:09,519
Speaker 1: you know, through it all all the stuff that I've

1677
01:24:09,520 --> 01:24:12,080
Speaker 1: been going on. It's nice to see a double digit

1678
01:24:12,160 --> 01:24:14,880
Speaker 1: win season, not you know, squeaking in at a nine

1679
01:24:14,920 --> 01:24:17,639
Speaker 1: win you know, with some help. So it just feels

1680
01:24:17,640 --> 01:24:19,680
Speaker 1: good at finally. You know, I'm twenty five, so I've

1681
01:24:19,720 --> 01:24:21,559
Speaker 1: never seen a double digit season in my life, so

1682
01:24:21,600 --> 01:24:24,120
Speaker 1: that's awesome to clinch with two weeks from mating. Yeah,

1683
01:24:24,160 --> 01:24:27,719
Speaker 1: but I also want to say, what were your guys

1684
01:24:27,760 --> 01:24:31,040
Speaker 1: thoughts on going our last drive afore halftime? We had

1685
01:24:31,080 --> 01:24:33,920
Speaker 1: a minute and thirty six seconds left and two timeouts,

1686
01:24:34,360 --> 01:24:36,120
Speaker 1: and we kind of pretty much just took it in

1687
01:24:36,160 --> 01:24:38,880
Speaker 1: the halftime. I just felt like, you know, a lot

1688
01:24:38,880 --> 01:24:42,679
Speaker 1: of the great teams in the NFL, like Patriots, Green Bay, Seattle,

1689
01:24:42,840 --> 01:24:44,800
Speaker 1: there always seems like, you know, they're gonna try and

1690
01:24:44,840 --> 01:24:47,880
Speaker 1: win their two minute offense no matter what the score is,

1691
01:24:47,880 --> 01:24:49,160
Speaker 1: you know, just going in a half time. I just

1692
01:24:49,240 --> 01:24:51,479
Speaker 1: wanted to think what you guys thought. A couple of things. John,

1693
01:24:51,520 --> 01:24:53,160
Speaker 1: we talked about it, Eric Wood and I talked about

1694
01:24:53,280 --> 01:24:56,320
Speaker 1: Eric was quite vocal about it on the broadcast last night.

1695
01:24:56,320 --> 01:24:58,519
Speaker 1: There was a minute fifty three and they started at

1696
01:24:58,520 --> 01:25:00,880
Speaker 1: their own nine yard line. I think was the problem right,

1697
01:25:01,439 --> 01:25:04,360
Speaker 1: And the last possession ended up in an interception the

1698
01:25:04,400 --> 01:25:07,080
Speaker 1: pass it was tipped to Nelson, and so I think

1699
01:25:07,120 --> 01:25:09,479
Speaker 1: all of that I'm sorry they were. Yeah, there was

1700
01:25:09,479 --> 01:25:12,000
Speaker 1: a minute fifty three. After the fumble recovery by Poyer

1701
01:25:12,200 --> 01:25:14,280
Speaker 1: a minute fifty three, they had three timeouts and they

1702
01:25:14,320 --> 01:25:16,880
Speaker 1: started their own nine. I think Sean McDermott looked at

1703
01:25:16,920 --> 01:25:20,000
Speaker 1: and thought, this is a defensive battle, and I'm okay

1704
01:25:20,000 --> 01:25:21,840
Speaker 1: with that. And the game is seven to three, we're

1705
01:25:21,880 --> 01:25:24,160
Speaker 1: on top. I'm okay with that. Well, I get what

1706
01:25:24,200 --> 01:25:26,280
Speaker 1: you're saying. It was very conservative not to do anything

1707
01:25:26,280 --> 01:25:28,760
Speaker 1: with it, but yeah, anywhere else on the field, I

1708
01:25:28,760 --> 01:25:31,840
Speaker 1: think Steve and that's John. I'll tell you this too.

1709
01:25:31,920 --> 01:25:36,000
Speaker 1: I watched teams. You can say the Patriots this, and

1710
01:25:36,040 --> 01:25:38,799
Speaker 1: the Patriots that and all that. Anybody with an offense

1711
01:25:38,840 --> 01:25:41,639
Speaker 1: that's challenged like Buffalo's has been would do the same thing.

1712
01:25:41,680 --> 01:25:45,800
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the way it's hand. I've the Patriots

1713
01:25:45,800 --> 01:25:47,840
Speaker 1: have walked off the field at halftime without doing that

1714
01:25:47,880 --> 01:25:49,720
Speaker 1: too this year. Now, they don't do it in the

1715
01:25:49,720 --> 01:25:51,760
Speaker 1: past years, but this year they're they've done and I've

1716
01:25:51,800 --> 01:25:54,960
Speaker 1: I've I've watched them do it. So it's not just

1717
01:25:55,040 --> 01:25:58,360
Speaker 1: a Buffalo thing. You you don't want to make a

1718
01:25:58,439 --> 01:26:01,240
Speaker 1: mistake and give points right away by turning it over

1719
01:26:01,280 --> 01:26:03,479
Speaker 1: and doing something. But I get it. It is kind

1720
01:26:03,479 --> 01:26:05,719
Speaker 1: of frustrating in a game where you've got a chance

1721
01:26:05,760 --> 01:26:08,160
Speaker 1: with three time outs and all that. I just don't

1722
01:26:08,200 --> 01:26:10,960
Speaker 1: think it's that this team feels it's a smart play

1723
01:26:11,040 --> 01:26:13,000
Speaker 1: to lean on an offense that's up against one of

1724
01:26:13,040 --> 01:26:15,719
Speaker 1: the more dynamic defenses in the league. What else you got, John?

1725
01:26:16,439 --> 01:26:18,200
Speaker 1: I also wanted to say, I call it last week

1726
01:26:18,400 --> 01:26:20,640
Speaker 1: about what the brothers that would get snubbed, you know,

1727
01:26:20,720 --> 01:26:23,679
Speaker 1: by their parents with the jersey. Last night they showed

1728
01:26:23,760 --> 01:26:26,559
Speaker 1: on TV the mom actually had a split jersey, so

1729
01:26:26,600 --> 01:26:28,200
Speaker 1: that was pretty cool. I've never seen that, you know,

1730
01:26:28,479 --> 01:26:30,639
Speaker 1: half steel, it's half Bill's jersey, and the dad had

1731
01:26:30,680 --> 01:26:32,519
Speaker 1: on Trey, So I thought that was pretty cool. Till

1732
01:26:32,520 --> 01:26:34,160
Speaker 1: I wanted to say, all right, thanks you, I miss

1733
01:26:34,200 --> 01:26:36,160
Speaker 1: I missed the broadcast obviously, how what did they miss?

1734
01:26:36,920 --> 01:26:39,519
Speaker 1: They did a significant amount of gave it a significant

1735
01:26:39,560 --> 01:26:42,639
Speaker 1: amount of attention. They had family pictures on and stuff,

1736
01:26:42,680 --> 01:26:45,080
Speaker 1: and they showed the family in the stands as well.

1737
01:26:45,120 --> 01:26:48,880
Speaker 1: And he's right, the Edmunds family came off very well,

1738
01:26:48,880 --> 01:26:50,920
Speaker 1: and well they should have. There there's a great bunch

1739
01:26:52,200 --> 01:26:55,360
Speaker 1: it was. They had this line of the mother said,

1740
01:26:55,439 --> 01:26:58,960
Speaker 1: the football's a family business, you know, and it's funny

1741
01:26:59,000 --> 01:27:03,439
Speaker 1: too because Chris Collinsworth said, yeah, football is the family business,

1742
01:27:03,479 --> 01:27:05,760
Speaker 1: and business is good. They got two sons that were

1743
01:27:05,800 --> 01:27:07,800
Speaker 1: first round draft picks. Another son is playing on the

1744
01:27:07,840 --> 01:27:10,599
Speaker 1: same team as the other one, so yeah, it's really good.

1745
01:27:10,640 --> 01:27:15,680
Speaker 1: So I was the congratulations to the Edmunds family. They

1746
01:27:15,760 --> 01:27:18,160
Speaker 1: came off very well last night in the broadcast and

1747
01:27:18,160 --> 01:27:20,479
Speaker 1: they deserved quick break. Here we're back when more one.

1748
01:27:20,479 --> 01:27:22,360
Speaker 1: Bill's Live coming to you from the Seneca Studio in

Speaker 1: clinching the playoff spot asking you the question today, what

1760
01:28:06,520 --> 01:28:09,240
Speaker 1: do you think of that playoff clinching? Obviously that's the

1761
01:28:09,280 --> 01:28:11,519
Speaker 1: biggest thing that happened last night. But what's the next

1762
01:28:11,520 --> 01:28:13,680
Speaker 1: best thing that happened to the Bills last night in

1763
01:28:13,760 --> 01:28:16,720
Speaker 1: your estimation, other than clinching the playoff spot, what were

1764
01:28:16,720 --> 01:28:19,320
Speaker 1: you most excited about from last night's game. We'll take

1765
01:28:19,320 --> 01:28:23,160
Speaker 1: a few more phone calls this hour. Let's go to

1766
01:28:23,320 --> 01:28:27,240
Speaker 1: a guy in Depew. Hello, guy, welcome, How are you

1767
01:28:27,280 --> 01:28:33,120
Speaker 1: doing today? Great? Good yest night. Yeah, I'm sixty one

1768
01:28:33,160 --> 01:28:36,000
Speaker 1: years old. I've been around for the whole whole Bills thing.

1769
01:28:36,200 --> 01:28:38,800
Speaker 1: You know. I'm a dedicated Bills fan. I was one

1770
01:28:38,800 --> 01:28:41,800
Speaker 1: of the lucky ones to be at all the home

1771
01:28:41,840 --> 01:28:45,439
Speaker 1: games during the playoffs. And the only thing that I

1772
01:28:45,479 --> 01:28:48,560
Speaker 1: see going on now is that our tallest receiver is

1773
01:28:48,600 --> 01:28:52,040
Speaker 1: like five nine and Josh Allen being so tall, do

1774
01:28:52,080 --> 01:28:54,360
Speaker 1: you think that has something to do with the problem

1775
01:28:54,360 --> 01:28:57,840
Speaker 1: with his passing? And that's all I gotta say, and

1776
01:28:57,920 --> 01:29:00,400
Speaker 1: go Bills, hopefully we make the playoff. In the football

1777
01:29:00,840 --> 01:29:03,400
Speaker 1: I would say, no, I don't think that's a problem.

1778
01:29:03,479 --> 01:29:08,160
Speaker 1: That's like all the time, you know, No, Josh is

1779
01:29:08,400 --> 01:29:12,320
Speaker 1: the problem with Josh's passing and the receivers is Josh

1780
01:29:12,520 --> 01:29:16,960
Speaker 1: not not the receivers. Everybody's got small receivers on their

1781
01:29:17,040 --> 01:29:19,040
Speaker 1: roster these days, and then they throw to all of

1782
01:29:19,120 --> 01:29:21,640
Speaker 1: them equally, and it's it's it's not an issue now,

1783
01:29:21,640 --> 01:29:24,400
Speaker 1: it's the size, generally speaking, doesn't it's you know how

1784
01:29:24,439 --> 01:29:26,880
Speaker 1: good you can throw it, um, and Josh will tell you,

1785
01:29:26,880 --> 01:29:29,720
Speaker 1: and we know this, Josh gotta throw it more accurately. Uh,

1786
01:29:29,760 --> 01:29:31,880
Speaker 1: certainly you can throw it more accurately on the deep ball,

1787
01:29:32,160 --> 01:29:34,759
Speaker 1: and there's always one or two passes where he tried.

1788
01:29:34,920 --> 01:29:38,599
Speaker 1: I think we're talking about this movie. Josh is jacked

1789
01:29:38,680 --> 01:29:40,960
Speaker 1: up for these big games, for the Sunday night football,

1790
01:29:41,040 --> 01:29:43,400
Speaker 1: for the Thanksgiving Day games, and once in a while

1791
01:29:43,439 --> 01:29:44,960
Speaker 1: he gets the best of him and the ball sails

1792
01:29:44,960 --> 01:29:46,800
Speaker 1: on him. He shoots it out of the stadium or

1793
01:29:46,840 --> 01:29:49,360
Speaker 1: over the guy's head. And on those deep balls, I

1794
01:29:49,360 --> 01:29:51,240
Speaker 1: think he's a little gun shy of getting it picked

1795
01:29:51,280 --> 01:29:54,760
Speaker 1: off because he knows that this team, if they don't

1796
01:29:54,760 --> 01:29:57,880
Speaker 1: if if this team doesn't turn it over, the Bills

1797
01:29:57,880 --> 01:30:00,559
Speaker 1: are really hard to beat. So he's very sensitive to

1798
01:30:00,600 --> 01:30:03,400
Speaker 1: throw and picks, so he throws him too deep. Sometimes

1799
01:30:03,439 --> 01:30:04,920
Speaker 1: I think he's a little too safe with it. So,

1800
01:30:06,120 --> 01:30:08,360
Speaker 1: but no, I don't think the size of the receivers

1801
01:30:08,560 --> 01:30:12,519
Speaker 1: is an issue that makes the offense passing game less effective.

1802
01:30:12,600 --> 01:30:14,479
Speaker 1: You know, that too deep thing and how they have

1803
01:30:14,560 --> 01:30:18,160
Speaker 1: trouble connecting on deep passes. I feel like that that

1804
01:30:18,320 --> 01:30:20,560
Speaker 1: problem may have been solved, Steven, Here's what I was

1805
01:30:20,560 --> 01:30:22,080
Speaker 1: thinking too, lan Eric and I talked about it on

1806
01:30:22,120 --> 01:30:25,599
Speaker 1: the game last night. Now they're getting some passive afference

1807
01:30:25,640 --> 01:30:28,280
Speaker 1: calls because Josh has adjusted a little bit, thrown it

1808
01:30:28,360 --> 01:30:30,920
Speaker 1: not quite as deep, forcing defensive backs to make a

1809
01:30:30,960 --> 01:30:33,000
Speaker 1: play on the ball or the man, and that's sort

1810
01:30:33,000 --> 01:30:36,720
Speaker 1: of getting some defensive PI calls. And again, as the

1811
01:30:36,760 --> 01:30:40,880
Speaker 1: growth mindset, you know, continues, Josh Allen I think makes adjustments.

1812
01:30:41,080 --> 01:30:44,200
Speaker 1: Twenty five NFL starts, he gets a little bit better.

1813
01:30:44,520 --> 01:30:46,680
Speaker 1: Not a steady uptick, but he gets a little bit

1814
01:30:46,680 --> 01:30:48,680
Speaker 1: better most weeks, and I think he's gotten better in

1815
01:30:48,720 --> 01:30:50,280
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. Yeah. I mean, he brings

1816
01:30:50,320 --> 01:30:52,120
Speaker 1: something to the table every week that's a little different.

1817
01:30:52,160 --> 01:30:54,719
Speaker 1: Some days. Some weeks he doesn't play as well because

1818
01:30:54,720 --> 01:30:57,640
Speaker 1: of the team they're playing against or the guys around him.

1819
01:30:57,680 --> 01:30:59,880
Speaker 1: I mean, the Baltimore Ravens game was a step backward.

1820
01:31:00,040 --> 01:31:03,200
Speaker 1: Philadelphia game was probably a step backward. But for most part,

1821
01:31:03,520 --> 01:31:06,160
Speaker 1: he brings something a little bit more to the table.

1822
01:31:06,200 --> 01:31:08,360
Speaker 1: Every week, and certainly sometimes when we said this early

1823
01:31:08,400 --> 01:31:10,040
Speaker 1: in this season, when it seemed like there was a

1824
01:31:10,040 --> 01:31:12,200
Speaker 1: stretch there where he kind of plateaued that some of

1825
01:31:12,200 --> 01:31:16,240
Speaker 1: the improvements that he makes probably aren't evident to just

1826
01:31:16,600 --> 01:31:19,599
Speaker 1: regular fans like you and me. It's where his eyes

1827
01:31:19,640 --> 01:31:22,840
Speaker 1: are after the snap, despite wherever the ball is thrown

1828
01:31:22,960 --> 01:31:26,519
Speaker 1: or whatever happens to him in the pocket, where his

1829
01:31:26,560 --> 01:31:28,599
Speaker 1: eyes go right after the snap, and if they're going

1830
01:31:28,640 --> 01:31:31,000
Speaker 1: to the right spot every time, or if he reads

1831
01:31:31,040 --> 01:31:33,720
Speaker 1: the defense correctly, it doesn't execute correctly. You know, for

1832
01:31:33,760 --> 01:31:38,000
Speaker 1: a long time that was really an improvement that needed

1833
01:31:38,040 --> 01:31:39,639
Speaker 1: to be made, and he's made some of that. So

1834
01:31:40,120 --> 01:31:42,599
Speaker 1: we went through that stretch during this season where sometimes

1835
01:31:42,600 --> 01:31:45,320
Speaker 1: that we felt like there must have been times where

1836
01:31:45,400 --> 01:31:48,519
Speaker 1: he was getting better that we just couldn't see it,

1837
01:31:48,600 --> 01:31:51,080
Speaker 1: but the coaching staff could see it and witness it.

1838
01:31:51,280 --> 01:31:53,400
Speaker 1: And then, of course, now every so often you get

1839
01:31:53,479 --> 01:31:56,760
Speaker 1: a game where, yeah, okay, there's our guy right two

1840
01:31:56,800 --> 01:32:00,040
Speaker 1: games ago he completed seventy percent of his passes. I

1841
01:32:00,040 --> 01:32:02,120
Speaker 1: don't have two games ago. Let me just go back

1842
01:32:02,120 --> 01:32:06,120
Speaker 1: and make sure I got this right. Um to uh,

1843
01:32:06,280 --> 01:32:10,000
Speaker 1: let's see. Yeah, it was the win against either Dallas

1844
01:32:10,400 --> 01:32:12,120
Speaker 1: I think it was Dallas or maybe Denver where he

1845
01:32:12,160 --> 01:32:15,439
Speaker 1: completed seventy percent of his passes. Um. You know, every

1846
01:32:15,439 --> 01:32:16,840
Speaker 1: once in a while he'll throw one of those up

1847
01:32:16,880 --> 01:32:19,840
Speaker 1: there and look pretty good doing it. So it's I

1848
01:32:19,840 --> 01:32:22,320
Speaker 1: think it was the Dallas game maybe, Um that was

1849
01:32:22,360 --> 01:32:25,760
Speaker 1: the game of the year for Cowboys pass Yeah, so,

1850
01:32:25,880 --> 01:32:28,920
Speaker 1: I mean he'll throw one of those in there. Yeah.

1851
01:32:28,960 --> 01:32:31,640
Speaker 1: And and the and the improvements he's made that we

1852
01:32:31,800 --> 01:32:35,240
Speaker 1: couldn't note or couldn't notice kind of show up in

1853
01:32:35,240 --> 01:32:37,479
Speaker 1: the statistics for once. One more call this hour, let's

1854
01:32:37,479 --> 01:32:39,519
Speaker 1: go to Dan and Lackawanna. Hello, Dan, welcome, you're in

1855
01:32:39,560 --> 01:32:42,360
Speaker 1: the air of this. Oh yeah, hi guys. I just

1856
01:32:42,400 --> 01:32:46,000
Speaker 1: want to know why coach McDermott isn't even being talked

1857
01:32:46,000 --> 01:32:48,800
Speaker 1: about for the Coach of the Year. I mean, he

1858
01:32:48,880 --> 01:32:52,280
Speaker 1: stands up there against Tomlin, he beats them, and they're

1859
01:32:52,280 --> 01:32:54,360
Speaker 1: all talking about Tomlin. Why aren't they talking? Why Why

1860
01:32:54,400 --> 01:32:56,880
Speaker 1: doesn't no one talk about the Bills. Yeah, that's a

1861
01:32:56,880 --> 01:32:59,920
Speaker 1: good question. And it's a crowded field because there's some

1862
01:33:00,080 --> 01:33:02,599
Speaker 1: a lot of surprising and results in the league this year.

1863
01:33:03,320 --> 01:33:06,160
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any question that the Baltimore Ravens

1864
01:33:06,400 --> 01:33:09,080
Speaker 1: were an unknown commodity coming in. Lamar Jackson was an

1865
01:33:09,120 --> 01:33:13,360
Speaker 1: unknown and John Harbaugh transformed his team into something unique

1866
01:33:13,360 --> 01:33:15,920
Speaker 1: and special and maybe the number one seed in the conference.

1867
01:33:15,960 --> 01:33:19,479
Speaker 1: I think that deserves some attention. There's some other things

1868
01:33:19,520 --> 01:33:22,200
Speaker 1: going around. Mike Tomlin certainly does need deserve to be

1869
01:33:22,240 --> 01:33:24,600
Speaker 1: in the credit because they're down to their fourth quarterback

1870
01:33:24,640 --> 01:33:27,559
Speaker 1: and they're in the playoffs as it stands right now.

1871
01:33:28,040 --> 01:33:30,639
Speaker 1: Certainly Sean McDermott from what we've seen, and I think

1872
01:33:30,720 --> 01:33:34,080
Speaker 1: one thing that may work against Sean so the fact

1873
01:33:34,080 --> 01:33:36,600
Speaker 1: that he's been doing it for three years. You know,

1874
01:33:36,640 --> 01:33:38,680
Speaker 1: you can't lump it all into this year as the

1875
01:33:38,720 --> 01:33:41,160
Speaker 1: fruition of the three years of planning. But there's no

1876
01:33:41,240 --> 01:33:43,599
Speaker 1: doubt that this team is sitting where it's at because

1877
01:33:43,600 --> 01:33:45,439
Speaker 1: of the work he's put in the last three years,

1878
01:33:45,439 --> 01:33:48,799
Speaker 1: not just this year. This year seems like a logical

1879
01:33:48,840 --> 01:33:51,320
Speaker 1: step from where they were a year ago after they

1880
01:33:51,400 --> 01:33:53,200
Speaker 1: revamped and had all the money to spend in free

1881
01:33:53,240 --> 01:33:55,400
Speaker 1: agency and did all that. Certainly, Sean has done a

1882
01:33:55,439 --> 01:33:58,280
Speaker 1: wonderful job and everybody would concede that, but it's a

1883
01:33:58,280 --> 01:34:02,960
Speaker 1: crowded field at that Kyle Shanahan and San Francisco's got

1884
01:34:02,960 --> 01:34:04,960
Speaker 1: that team at playing extremely well. You can make a

1885
01:34:04,960 --> 01:34:09,640
Speaker 1: case for a number of coaches who have exceeded expectations,

1886
01:34:09,680 --> 01:34:12,559
Speaker 1: and you know Sean's on the list. But you're right.

1887
01:34:12,840 --> 01:34:15,439
Speaker 1: I'm he does deserve some credit for it and some

1888
01:34:15,640 --> 01:34:18,040
Speaker 1: attention for it and to be in that conversation. But

1889
01:34:18,080 --> 01:34:20,200
Speaker 1: it is a crowded field a little bit. Thanks for

1890
01:34:20,280 --> 01:34:22,320
Speaker 1: your call, Eric Wood, stand anybody to join us my

1891

Speaker 1: partner on Sunday's Bills broadcast. Eric Wood joins us next hour.

1892
01:34:25,800 --> 01:34:27,760
Speaker 1: Maddi Glad joins us next hour. We'll go around the

1893
01:34:27,760 --> 01:34:29,840
Speaker 1: locker room in the next hour. We're just getting warmed

1894
01:34:29,880 --> 01:34:31,400
Speaker 1: up and we got one hour to go. Come on back.

1895
01:34:31,400 --> 01:34:34,639
Speaker 1: One Bill's Live, presented by Kalida Health from the Seneca Studio.

1896
01:34:34,760 --> 01:34:48,559
Speaker 1: This is Buffalo Bills Radio. Hello, Bills Radio Network story

1897
01:34:49,560 --> 01:34:51,880
Speaker 1: the update from One Bill's Drive. Bills players off today,

1898
01:34:51,920 --> 01:34:53,880
Speaker 1: They'll be back tomorrow. I have a short week getting

1899
01:34:53,920 --> 01:34:57,040
Speaker 1: set for a Saturday afternoon game four thirty pm kickoff

1900
01:34:57,080 --> 01:34:59,879
Speaker 1: Saturday in Foxboro against the Patriots. The Bills have their playoffs.

1901
01:35:00,360 --> 01:35:02,479
Speaker 1: They locked it down last night with a seventeen ten

1902
01:35:02,560 --> 01:35:05,360
Speaker 1: win over the Steelers. On Sunday night, football. The Bills

1903
01:35:05,360 --> 01:35:08,519
Speaker 1: now on Sunday night eleven wins and ten losses all time.

1904
01:35:08,800 --> 01:35:10,840
Speaker 1: Next week to ten and four, Bills face eleven and

1905
01:35:10,880 --> 01:35:13,880
Speaker 1: three New England. There's a chance to tie for the

1906
01:35:13,880 --> 01:35:16,640
Speaker 1: AFC East Division lead next week. That would be the

1907
01:35:16,680 --> 01:35:19,240
Speaker 1: latest in any season that the AFC East lead will

1908
01:35:19,240 --> 01:35:21,880
Speaker 1: be contested head to head since two thousand and eight.

1909
01:35:22,080 --> 01:35:24,800
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott, with the win last night, his regular season

1910
01:35:24,880 --> 01:35:27,160
Speaker 1: record now twenty five wins twenty one losses, now the

1911
01:35:27,200 --> 01:35:30,280
Speaker 1: fifth most wins by a head coach enfranchise history. Bills

1912
01:35:30,280 --> 01:35:32,719
Speaker 1: came out of it relatively injury free. It would appear

1913
01:35:33,080 --> 01:35:35,240
Speaker 1: they've got their playoffs spout. They've got two games left

1914
01:35:35,240 --> 01:35:37,679
Speaker 1: to play. McDermott talks about it with the media today

1915
01:35:37,720 --> 01:35:40,040
Speaker 1: when he meets with them at four o'clock. Coordinators meet

1916
01:35:40,080 --> 01:35:42,639
Speaker 1: with the media later on at four thirty forty nine.

1917
01:35:42,680 --> 01:35:45,800
Speaker 1: Ers ended their playoff drought yesterday for the first time

1918
01:35:45,840 --> 01:35:49,519
Speaker 1: since two thirteen. They're headed the postseason. They lost to

1919
01:35:49,560 --> 01:35:52,240
Speaker 1: Atlanta twenty nine twenty two, so they needed some help.

1920
01:35:52,320 --> 01:35:54,639
Speaker 1: They clinched a playoff spot by virtue of the Rams

1921
01:35:54,640 --> 01:35:57,679
Speaker 1: lost to the Cowboys. See Adeline Green Bay also clinched

1922
01:35:57,680 --> 01:36:00,519
Speaker 1: playoff spots, where their victories yesterday come buying. With the

1923
01:36:00,600 --> 01:36:03,680
Speaker 1: Rams loss Raiders final game in Oakland as they get

1924
01:36:03,720 --> 01:36:05,680
Speaker 1: set to move to Las Vegas. They were booed off

1925
01:36:05,680 --> 01:36:09,360
Speaker 1: the field, especially quarterback Derek Carr, as the Raiders suffered

1926
01:36:09,360 --> 01:36:12,879
Speaker 1: at last minute twenty sixteen loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars.

1927
01:36:12,880 --> 01:36:15,479
Speaker 1: The Raiders moved to Las Vegas next year. Shut out

1928
01:36:15,520 --> 01:36:17,519
Speaker 1: in the second half, he gave up two touchdowns in

1929
01:36:17,560 --> 01:36:20,759
Speaker 1: the final five minutes or so. Sabers at the leaves tomorrow.

1930
01:36:20,760 --> 01:36:23,920
Speaker 1: Buffalo has picked up points in five straight games. Picked

1931
01:36:24,000 --> 01:36:26,200
Speaker 1: up a point Saturday in a three two overtime loss

1932
01:36:26,240 --> 01:36:29,200
Speaker 1: to the New York Nitors. Jack Hichel extended his NHL

1933
01:36:29,280 --> 01:36:31,840
Speaker 1: best point street to sixteen games. He had a goal

1934
01:36:31,920 --> 01:36:34,479
Speaker 1: and an assist in that game. Roster moved yesterday, The

Speaker 1: We got to help back about an hour or so ago.

1946
01:37:03,920 --> 01:37:05,839
Speaker 1: And I read on Twitter that you found it difficult

1947
01:37:05,840 --> 01:37:08,720
Speaker 1: to pass by all the Skyline chili stops in Cincinnati

1948
01:37:08,760 --> 01:37:11,320
Speaker 1: when you drove through. There is that, right, I mean

1949
01:37:11,560 --> 01:37:16,840
Speaker 1: every other sign is Skyline, the Roses, United Dairy Farmers.

1950
01:37:16,880 --> 01:37:19,479
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's tough to pass through those. Those

1951
01:37:19,520 --> 01:37:22,519
Speaker 1: bring back some good childhood memories that it reminds me

1952
01:37:22,560 --> 01:37:24,280
Speaker 1: of how I got up to three hundred and ten

1953
01:37:24,360 --> 01:37:26,479
Speaker 1: pounds to get to my plane weight. Yeah. I mean

1954
01:37:26,479 --> 01:37:28,439
Speaker 1: that's the way you come off those planes after a

1955
01:37:28,439 --> 01:37:30,360
Speaker 1: long after a win and Stuff's like first thing you

1956
01:37:30,360 --> 01:37:32,439
Speaker 1: want to do is just pull through a drive through,

1957
01:37:32,520 --> 01:37:34,640
Speaker 1: no matter where it is, right, I mean, it's just

1958
01:37:34,840 --> 01:37:40,040
Speaker 1: it's like the American Way. Yeah, absolutely, Eric, As we said,

1959
01:37:40,080 --> 01:37:42,160
Speaker 1: we just talked to you, but we had a good

1960
01:37:42,160 --> 01:37:44,599
Speaker 1: broadcast last night. I'll pat ourselves on the back and

1961
01:37:44,640 --> 01:37:48,240
Speaker 1: I felt like, um, you know, we know the defense

1962
01:37:48,280 --> 01:37:50,439
Speaker 1: has been the story and kind of the you know,

1963
01:37:50,479 --> 01:37:53,760
Speaker 1: the power pack for the Bills season so far. Get

1964
01:37:53,800 --> 01:37:57,200
Speaker 1: to their ten wins and unbelievably, I think this defense

1965
01:37:57,360 --> 01:37:59,720
Speaker 1: finding ways to get better. They've got ten takeaways in

1966
01:37:59,760 --> 01:38:02,120
Speaker 1: the US five games now, five of them last night.

1967
01:38:02,120 --> 01:38:05,680
Speaker 1: They are amazing. They continue to improve. I think they

1968
01:38:05,680 --> 01:38:08,280
Speaker 1: have improved as the season went on and has gone on.

1969
01:38:08,360 --> 01:38:10,479
Speaker 1: And you know, a couple of weeks it was the

1970
01:38:10,560 --> 01:38:14,639
Speaker 1: rush defense and that coincided with that Harrison Phillips injury

1971
01:38:14,720 --> 01:38:18,000
Speaker 1: and you know, some teams finding some weakness there. Now

1972
01:38:18,040 --> 01:38:20,639
Speaker 1: in recent weeks they've really shared up the run defense,

1973
01:38:21,240 --> 01:38:25,040
Speaker 1: holding Pittsburgh to fifty one yards last night. Incredible effort

1974
01:38:25,280 --> 01:38:28,160
Speaker 1: in a game where they they assumed that the Pittsburgh

1975
01:38:28,160 --> 01:38:30,639
Speaker 1: Steelers were going to come in. You know, they got

1976
01:38:30,640 --> 01:38:33,519
Speaker 1: an experienced offensive line, especially on the interior, and then

1977
01:38:33,560 --> 01:38:37,800
Speaker 1: they add Zach Banner as an extra alignment at the

1978
01:38:37,840 --> 01:38:40,919
Speaker 1: tight end position six eight, three hundred and sixty pounds,

1979
01:38:40,920 --> 01:38:43,559
Speaker 1: and you know, you would assume with a two hundred

1980
01:38:43,560 --> 01:38:45,840
Speaker 1: and thirty couple two hundred and thirty pound running backs

1981
01:38:46,760 --> 01:38:49,439
Speaker 1: in James Connor and Benny Snell you know that was

1982
01:38:49,520 --> 01:38:51,120
Speaker 1: going to be the big matchup in the game. Could

1983
01:38:51,120 --> 01:38:54,000
Speaker 1: the Bills rush defense hold up And for the second

1984
01:38:54,080 --> 01:38:58,479
Speaker 1: secutive week did an incredible job against the run. And

1985
01:38:59,160 --> 01:39:02,439
Speaker 1: the Bills defense in this four or five game stretch

1986
01:39:02,479 --> 01:39:05,880
Speaker 1: has really improved their sacked numbers on the season. You know, statistically,

1987
01:39:05,960 --> 01:39:08,479
Speaker 1: they were really good through the first eight or nine

1988
01:39:08,520 --> 01:39:11,760
Speaker 1: games of the season, but the sacks weren't necessarily there

1989
01:39:11,760 --> 01:39:14,519
Speaker 1: and the turnovers weren't there. Well, now they're forcing turnovers

1990
01:39:14,520 --> 01:39:16,680
Speaker 1: at a higher rate. The sacks are coming in at

1991
01:39:16,880 --> 01:39:21,120
Speaker 1: an incredible rate right now, and it's scary how good

1992
01:39:21,160 --> 01:39:26,160
Speaker 1: this defense is getting and still continuing to peak at

1993
01:39:26,160 --> 01:39:27,720
Speaker 1: the end of the season. Well, you can look to

1994
01:39:27,760 --> 01:39:30,280
Speaker 1: it as well. This coaching staff has gotten guys to

1995
01:39:30,439 --> 01:39:33,000
Speaker 1: get better weekend week out, and you look at the

1996
01:39:33,400 --> 01:39:36,320
Speaker 1: player that even the defensive tackles Ed Oliver has gotten better,

1997
01:39:36,360 --> 01:39:39,000
Speaker 1: certainly in the second half of the season. Jordan Phillips

1998
01:39:39,160 --> 01:39:41,799
Speaker 1: is having a career year for him. He's almost doubled

1999
01:39:42,120 --> 01:39:44,840
Speaker 1: his entire career sack total when he was at Miami

2000
01:39:44,880 --> 01:39:47,360
Speaker 1: Dolphin here in Buffalo, and this in his second full

2001
01:39:47,439 --> 01:39:51,960
Speaker 1: year here. This is those two guys are indicative of

2002
01:39:52,040 --> 01:39:55,200
Speaker 1: how things have taken an uptick on the defensive side

2003
01:39:55,200 --> 01:39:58,760
Speaker 1: of the ball. Absolutely, both those guys are playing great.

2004
01:39:58,960 --> 01:40:01,800
Speaker 1: What's impressed me about at Oliver all year long is

2005
01:40:01,840 --> 01:40:05,880
Speaker 1: his hustle plays and even last night a screenplay where

2006
01:40:05,880 --> 01:40:08,680
Speaker 1: he tracks it down from the defensive tackle position. I

2007
01:40:08,720 --> 01:40:12,280
Speaker 1: believe for no gain that was a screen pass in

2008
01:40:12,360 --> 01:40:15,120
Speaker 1: the first half. That those little plays really impressed me.

2009
01:40:15,160 --> 01:40:17,479
Speaker 1: From the rookie at Oliver. Jordan Phillips is a guy

2010
01:40:17,520 --> 01:40:19,719
Speaker 1: who I faced when he was in Miami his rookie

2011
01:40:19,840 --> 01:40:24,439
Speaker 1: year and was a really productive player. Never imagined he

2012
01:40:24,439 --> 01:40:26,559
Speaker 1: would develop into a nine and a half sack guy.

2013
01:40:27,280 --> 01:40:31,160
Speaker 1: Him and Shack Loss and putting up really really productive

2014
01:40:31,160 --> 01:40:35,680
Speaker 1: seasons from a perspective. I mentioned yesterday during the broadcast

2015
01:40:35,800 --> 01:40:38,920
Speaker 1: that Bud Dupree, one of their defensive ends, he was

2016
01:40:38,960 --> 01:40:43,120
Speaker 1: only averaging five sacks a year coming into this coming

2017
01:40:43,160 --> 01:40:45,720
Speaker 1: into this year, and now this year he's over that

2018
01:40:45,760 --> 01:40:47,600
Speaker 1: eight mark. I think he's right around nine sacks on

2019
01:40:47,680 --> 01:40:50,840
Speaker 1: the season. Who's he's in a contractor year? Shack and

2020
01:40:51,040 --> 01:40:54,519
Speaker 1: Jordan Phillips, they're both in contractor years. Maybe the key

2021
01:40:54,680 --> 01:40:57,639
Speaker 1: is littering a defensive line with a bunch of guys

2022
01:40:57,680 --> 01:41:00,599
Speaker 1: and contractor years, because those guys seem to show up

2023
01:41:01,479 --> 01:41:04,000
Speaker 1: in those contractor years. I was joking with John as

2024
01:41:04,000 --> 01:41:06,880
Speaker 1: well yesterday that when we used to do breakdowns on

2025
01:41:06,960 --> 01:41:11,000
Speaker 1: defensive lineman and defensive line units each week in preparation

2026
01:41:11,080 --> 01:41:13,280
Speaker 1: for a game, we would always say, Hey, keep in mind,

2027
01:41:13,320 --> 01:41:15,800
Speaker 1: this guy's in a contract a year and every sack

2028
01:41:15,880 --> 01:41:19,200
Speaker 1: he gets is extra money in his pocket. So this

2029
01:41:19,240 --> 01:41:21,559
Speaker 1: guy is going to be rushing the pastor the entire

2030
01:41:21,640 --> 01:41:23,879
Speaker 1: game on the line with Eric Wood, Bills color analysts

2031
01:41:23,880 --> 01:41:26,479
Speaker 1: on the Bills Radio Network, Eric, not much left to

2032
01:41:26,479 --> 01:41:29,519
Speaker 1: be said about Tradevious White. But he is a former

2033
01:41:29,520 --> 01:41:31,680
Speaker 1: teammate of yours, and you were his teammate when he

2034
01:41:31,760 --> 01:41:34,200
Speaker 1: was he was just breaking into the league. He has

2035
01:41:34,200 --> 01:41:37,439
Speaker 1: grown leaps and bounds over where he was a tremendous

2036
01:41:37,479 --> 01:41:39,960
Speaker 1: athlete when he started here. But man, that guy can

2037
01:41:40,000 --> 01:41:43,160
Speaker 1: play and he gets better on almost a weekly basis.

2038
01:41:43,960 --> 01:41:47,840
Speaker 1: He does. He's phenomenal his statistically, he's just having an

2039
01:41:47,840 --> 01:41:50,840
Speaker 1: absolutely incredible year. And when you think about now that

2040
01:41:50,960 --> 01:41:53,640
Speaker 1: he's leading the league tip to the league leading and

2041
01:41:53,720 --> 01:41:58,400
Speaker 1: interceptions is phenomenal in that a lot of quarterbacks haven't

2042
01:41:58,439 --> 01:42:02,200
Speaker 1: targeted his guy that much because he's so productive. You know,

2043
01:42:02,760 --> 01:42:06,040
Speaker 1: I talked to Ryan Fitzpatrick prior to the Dolphins game

2044
01:42:06,720 --> 01:42:09,600
Speaker 1: in Orchard Park this year and he had said, you know,

2045
01:42:09,680 --> 01:42:12,200
Speaker 1: Tradavious White, I mean, you got to throw away from him.

2046
01:42:12,200 --> 01:42:14,400
Speaker 1: He's so good. And when we saw in that game

2047
01:42:14,720 --> 01:42:17,599
Speaker 1: they were going at in the first Dolphins game, they

2048
01:42:17,600 --> 01:42:21,439
Speaker 1: were went at Preston Williams a lot, mainly because Trey

2049
01:42:21,479 --> 01:42:24,240
Speaker 1: White wasn't on him. And you know, when you look

2050
01:42:24,240 --> 01:42:27,080
Speaker 1: at that kind of production, because he's not even getting

2051
01:42:27,080 --> 01:42:29,200
Speaker 1: the amount of balls to his side that a lot

2052
01:42:29,240 --> 01:42:32,720
Speaker 1: of guys will get. So yes, he is absolutely phenomenal.

2053
01:42:32,920 --> 01:42:35,280
Speaker 1: I loved him. You know, he came in as a

2054
01:42:35,360 --> 01:42:38,760
Speaker 1: rookie and was I was impressed with him just immediately.

2055
01:42:39,400 --> 01:42:42,639
Speaker 1: A guy who wore the number eighteen at LSU, who's

2056
01:42:42,720 --> 01:42:45,439
Speaker 1: given to the hardest work, or the guy with the

2057
01:42:45,439 --> 01:42:49,280
Speaker 1: best reputation of the team, and just a guy that

2058
01:42:50,240 --> 01:42:52,160
Speaker 1: just a home run of the draft pick for the

2059
01:42:52,160 --> 01:42:56,320
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills a few years ago. This game really went

2060
01:42:56,400 --> 01:42:59,639
Speaker 1: according to script. Two great defenses. Dynamic defense is too

2061
01:42:59,640 --> 01:43:02,400
Speaker 1: often is that that you know, don't put a lot

2062
01:43:02,400 --> 01:43:04,719
Speaker 1: of points on the board playing against those good defenses.

2063
01:43:04,760 --> 01:43:06,120
Speaker 1: So you knew it was going to be a game

2064
01:43:06,160 --> 01:43:09,040
Speaker 1: like it turned out to be seventeen ten M. Is

2065
01:43:09,080 --> 01:43:12,960
Speaker 1: there anything about this game, either a Bill's offense, Bill's defense,

2066
01:43:13,000 --> 01:43:18,400
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh offense, Pittsburgh's defense, anything that surprised you about this game?

2067
01:43:20,040 --> 01:43:22,120
Speaker 1: Not a whole lot. I sent Chris Brown in salth

2068
01:43:22,160 --> 01:43:24,920
Speaker 1: capaccio a text after the game last night. I was

2069
01:43:25,000 --> 01:43:27,639
Speaker 1: asking them why they didn't congratulate me when I when

2070
01:43:27,680 --> 01:43:31,439
Speaker 1: I guessed the score exactly right in our pregame roundtable. Um,

2071
01:43:31,920 --> 01:43:35,760
Speaker 1: so it kind of went as I expected. Um, you know,

2072
01:43:36,160 --> 01:43:39,960
Speaker 1: and and and no. I both defenses both performed well

2073
01:43:40,040 --> 01:43:42,479
Speaker 1: last night. The Buffalo Bill's offense was just able to

2074
01:43:42,479 --> 01:43:45,360
Speaker 1: make more plays in the Buffalo Bill's defense was able

2075
01:43:45,360 --> 01:43:49,840
Speaker 1: to force uh five turnovers as well. So incredible job

2076
01:43:50,120 --> 01:43:54,000
Speaker 1: obviously by the defense. As I mentioned earlier, Um, you know,

2077
01:43:54,439 --> 01:43:57,559
Speaker 1: not surprising to me again that Josh Allen in some

2078
01:43:57,600 --> 01:44:00,639
Speaker 1: of the biggest moments of the game play his best

2079
01:44:00,640 --> 01:44:06,080
Speaker 1: football ad hinz Field Sunday night football tie ball game,

2080
01:44:06,400 --> 01:44:10,000
Speaker 1: they just play renegade by sticks. Well, let's dial up

2081
01:44:10,000 --> 01:44:12,280
Speaker 1: a play action because he'll probably throw his best ball

2082
01:44:12,400 --> 01:44:14,679
Speaker 1: the night, maybe of the season on that go route

2083
01:44:15,200 --> 01:44:18,200
Speaker 1: to John Brown, loved that he gave him a chance

2084
01:44:18,240 --> 01:44:20,000
Speaker 1: to come back to the ball. You know, this is

2085
01:44:20,040 --> 01:44:22,439
Speaker 1: a receiver, Steve. When you get that defensive back in

2086
01:44:22,520 --> 01:44:26,040
Speaker 1: a trail position a ball that's slightly underthrown, it won

2087
01:44:26,320 --> 01:44:28,840
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a PI nine out of ten times

2088
01:44:28,840 --> 01:44:31,240
Speaker 1: because this guy is gonna run into the receiver. They

2089
01:44:31,280 --> 01:44:33,400
Speaker 1: did get the flag and John Brown was able to

2090
01:44:33,439 --> 01:44:37,000
Speaker 1: come back through the contact and make the play. Also

2091
01:44:37,120 --> 01:44:40,599
Speaker 1: love they went right back to him. Josh under throws

2092
01:44:40,640 --> 01:44:43,360
Speaker 1: it slightly again, not a terrible ball. Steven Nelson a

2093
01:44:43,439 --> 01:44:46,400
Speaker 1: much better position this time, and John Brown then plays

2094
01:44:46,439 --> 01:44:48,800
Speaker 1: defensive back and bats that ball away. We what that

2095
01:44:48,840 --> 01:44:51,639
Speaker 1: does is now for the remainder of the year, Josh

2096
01:44:51,680 --> 01:44:54,320
Speaker 1: Allen knows, Hey, one on one situations, I can throw

2097
01:44:54,360 --> 01:44:56,880
Speaker 1: it up to smoke because if I do throw a

2098
01:44:57,040 --> 01:44:59,840
Speaker 1: not perfect ball, He's not gonna let that be a pick.

2099
01:45:00,200 --> 01:45:02,960
Speaker 1: Which is something I think Josh Allen got shot shot

2100
01:45:02,960 --> 01:45:05,439
Speaker 1: away from some of the deep balls. You know, I

2101
01:45:05,520 --> 01:45:08,320
Speaker 1: think back to the skills like a lifetime ago now,

2102
01:45:08,640 --> 01:45:13,200
Speaker 1: but the Zay Jones interception against the Patriots earlier in

2103
01:45:13,200 --> 01:45:14,639
Speaker 1: the season, when it was a one on one ball

2104
01:45:14,640 --> 01:45:16,840
Speaker 1: down in the field and Zay didn't knock that ball

2105
01:45:16,840 --> 01:45:19,200
Speaker 1: away from the defensive back and end up being an interception. Well,

2106
01:45:19,240 --> 01:45:21,320
Speaker 1: we talked about Josh not throwing the ball down the

2107
01:45:21,360 --> 01:45:23,960
Speaker 1: field love, Well, sometimes you can shy away from it

2108
01:45:23,960 --> 01:45:26,240
Speaker 1: if your guy's not gonna defend it. And then man,

2109
01:45:26,280 --> 01:45:29,559
Speaker 1: that ball he threw on third and nine in a

2110
01:45:29,640 --> 01:45:32,040
Speaker 1: tie ball game when everyone thought, and me and John

2111
01:45:32,040 --> 01:45:33,720
Speaker 1: were talking about on the broadcast, Hey, maybe they're just

2112
01:45:33,760 --> 01:45:37,040
Speaker 1: gonna run another drawl, take the three points and assume

2113
01:45:37,320 --> 01:45:39,519
Speaker 1: that Pittsburgh won't be able to get another score. Well,

2114
01:45:40,200 --> 01:45:42,080
Speaker 1: towards the end of the game, they got down where

2115
01:45:42,200 --> 01:45:44,120
Speaker 1: a field goal would have been a possibility, so could

2116
01:45:44,120 --> 01:45:46,920
Speaker 1: have tied it up, setting it overtime. Nope, Josh Allen

2117
01:45:47,160 --> 01:45:49,560
Speaker 1: throws a rifle to Tyler Croft in the corner of

2118
01:45:49,600 --> 01:45:51,960
Speaker 1: the end zone and one of the best throws I've

2119
01:45:51,960 --> 01:45:53,920
Speaker 1: seen him to make as a pro. We're on in

2120
01:45:53,920 --> 01:45:56,439
Speaker 1: the Lane with Eric Wood, radio color analyst signed the

2121
01:45:56,560 --> 01:45:59,280
Speaker 1: Bills Radio Network, former Bills center. Let's talk about the

2122
01:45:59,280 --> 01:46:02,040
Speaker 1: Buffalo off Buffalo offense for a second. Eric, and you

2123
01:46:02,120 --> 01:46:04,200
Speaker 1: wrote about it today and your story on the website.

2124
01:46:04,200 --> 01:46:07,000
Speaker 1: We talked about it last night. It was well, two things.

2125
01:46:07,000 --> 01:46:09,680
Speaker 1: It was a very conservative approach by the Bills that

2126
01:46:09,840 --> 01:46:11,640
Speaker 1: sequence at the end of the first half when they

2127
01:46:11,640 --> 01:46:13,760
Speaker 1: elected just to run it a few times and take

2128
01:46:13,760 --> 01:46:15,519
Speaker 1: a three what was at a three point lead, seven

2129
01:46:15,560 --> 01:46:17,840
Speaker 1: to three lead into the locker room and number two.

2130
01:46:18,280 --> 01:46:20,160
Speaker 1: You know, they came out of what they had been

2131
01:46:20,200 --> 01:46:23,759
Speaker 1: doing successfully for about a month. The no huddle, eleven

2132
01:46:23,800 --> 01:46:26,240
Speaker 1: personnel approached, they were willing to mix it up a

2133
01:46:26,240 --> 01:46:28,080
Speaker 1: little bit in deference to the defense who are playing.

2134
01:46:28,080 --> 01:46:30,639
Speaker 1: Can you talk about those two elements, Yeah, for sure,

2135
01:46:30,800 --> 01:46:32,679
Speaker 1: And Brian day Balls talked about it in his press

2136
01:46:32,680 --> 01:46:35,519
Speaker 1: conferences that yes, they have had success with the eleven

2137
01:46:35,520 --> 01:46:39,439
Speaker 1: personnel and the no huddle, but that is that came

2138
01:46:39,439 --> 01:46:42,200
Speaker 1: as a boy product of trying to attack teams weaknesses.

2139
01:46:42,280 --> 01:46:44,040
Speaker 1: So last night they put the fullback in there a

2140
01:46:44,080 --> 01:46:45,760
Speaker 1: little bit more, knowing that they wanted to be a

2141
01:46:45,760 --> 01:46:48,360
Speaker 1: little bit more conservative last night, run the football more.

2142
01:46:48,680 --> 01:46:52,479
Speaker 1: They did run it effectively. Devin Singletary over four yards

2143
01:46:52,479 --> 01:46:57,400
Speaker 1: per carry again, so productive, and I think at times

2144
01:46:57,520 --> 01:47:00,600
Speaker 1: and me and John we're crell at the end of

2145
01:47:00,600 --> 01:47:02,800
Speaker 1: the first half. But you know, you got to give

2146
01:47:02,800 --> 01:47:05,000
Speaker 1: credit to Sean McDermott. I think back to a very

2147
01:47:05,040 --> 01:47:09,720
Speaker 1: conservative deal and twenty seven team. When we broke the

2148
01:47:09,720 --> 01:47:13,400
Speaker 1: playoff drought in the snow game, Sean McDermott elected the

2149
01:47:13,479 --> 01:47:17,200
Speaker 1: punt in overtime and I came up to Sean on

2150
01:47:17,240 --> 01:47:19,840
Speaker 1: the sideline. I said, Sean, if we punt it, we're

2151
01:47:19,880 --> 01:47:22,559
Speaker 1: gonna tie in our seasons over. He said, no, we're

2152
01:47:22,560 --> 01:47:24,439
Speaker 1: gonna get the ball back and we're gonna win. And sure,

2153
01:47:24,479 --> 01:47:26,800
Speaker 1: and hope we did so. At some point I'm going

2154
01:47:26,840 --> 01:47:29,759
Speaker 1: to stop questioning Sean mcdermot's decisions. And there's a reason

2155
01:47:29,800 --> 01:47:32,840
Speaker 1: he makes that much money to make decisions, and I'm

2156
01:47:32,880 --> 01:47:36,880
Speaker 1: calling the game from the booth, so we will at

2157
01:47:36,920 --> 01:47:38,640
Speaker 1: some point, I'll be less critical of some of the

2158
01:47:38,640 --> 01:47:41,880
Speaker 1: conservative nature of some of the play calls. But you

2159
01:47:41,880 --> 01:47:44,040
Speaker 1: could see that throughout the game last night. Hey, we

2160
01:47:44,120 --> 01:47:46,240
Speaker 1: are not going to blow this on defense, because our

2161
01:47:46,360 --> 01:47:49,840
Speaker 1: defense can truly shut the Steeler's offense down. And it

2162
01:47:49,960 --> 01:47:51,760
Speaker 1: paid off for him. But at the end of the

2163
01:47:51,760 --> 01:47:54,559
Speaker 1: first half, with almost two minutes to go in three

2164
01:47:54,600 --> 01:47:56,920
Speaker 1: time mounts, I would have loved to seeing them just

2165
01:47:57,000 --> 01:48:00,920
Speaker 1: because of how well Josh Allen's done, especially in two situations.

2166
01:48:01,080 --> 01:48:03,240
Speaker 1: I would have loved to seeing them take a shot

2167
01:48:03,240 --> 01:48:05,920
Speaker 1: at going down the field, but that came right on

2168
01:48:05,960 --> 01:48:09,400
Speaker 1: the heels of the turnover at midfield, on the throne

2169
01:48:09,400 --> 01:48:11,320
Speaker 1: of cold easily. Yeah. And I think one of the

2170
01:48:11,360 --> 01:48:14,080
Speaker 1: things too, it's intuitive, and I think it's a genetic trait.

2171
01:48:14,240 --> 01:48:18,240
Speaker 1: Maybe defensive coaches have that they're they're unafraid to trust

2172
01:48:18,280 --> 01:48:21,200
Speaker 1: their defense. They don't mind the other team having the ball.

2173
01:48:21,320 --> 01:48:25,200
Speaker 1: Is not necessarily the end of the world as we

2174
01:48:25,240 --> 01:48:27,080
Speaker 1: know it. You know, for all of us fans out

2175
01:48:27,120 --> 01:48:30,160
Speaker 1: here and former offensive players like you and I, it's like, well,

2176
01:48:30,200 --> 01:48:32,880
Speaker 1: we can't win if we don't have the ball, and

2177
01:48:34,120 --> 01:48:37,320
Speaker 1: defensive coaches don't think that way we can. They think

2178
01:48:37,560 --> 01:48:39,800
Speaker 1: we still can win even if the other team has

2179
01:48:39,840 --> 01:48:43,400
Speaker 1: the ball. And that's hard for fans and offensive players

2180
01:48:43,400 --> 01:48:45,559
Speaker 1: to get your mind around. But this defense has proven

2181
01:48:45,560 --> 01:48:49,280
Speaker 1: it's worthy of that. Yeah, you're absolutely right. And and

2182
01:48:49,520 --> 01:48:53,200
Speaker 1: like I said, Sean McDermott knows the situations. He understands everything.

2183
01:48:53,240 --> 01:48:56,800
Speaker 1: I was concerned that the Pittsburgh Steelers are gonna get

2184
01:48:56,800 --> 01:48:59,200
Speaker 1: the ball to start the second half. You know, let's

2185
01:48:59,479 --> 01:49:02,200
Speaker 1: let's try and get a two score lead here heading

2186
01:49:02,200 --> 01:49:06,080
Speaker 1: into the second half. But like I just mentioned, you know,

2187
01:49:06,439 --> 01:49:09,560
Speaker 1: when you're the head coach you know, all the decisions

2188
01:49:09,600 --> 01:49:12,000
Speaker 1: go back to you, and Sean McDermott knows what he

2189
01:49:12,040 --> 01:49:16,479
Speaker 1: has and knows what an asset his defense is to

2190
01:49:16,560 --> 01:49:19,559
Speaker 1: this organization. Eric would joined us a couple of minutes left.

2191
01:49:19,560 --> 01:49:22,080
Speaker 1: I want to talk about one more item that you

2192
01:49:22,400 --> 01:49:24,679
Speaker 1: brought up in the posts that you wrote for Buffalo

2193
01:49:24,680 --> 01:49:28,520
Speaker 1: Bills dot com Erican. You know, the playoff clinching is significant.

2194
01:49:28,520 --> 01:49:31,439
Speaker 1: It's an important milepost in the in the length of

2195
01:49:31,439 --> 01:49:33,439
Speaker 1: a season, and you point out in your post and

2196
01:49:33,520 --> 01:49:36,120
Speaker 1: watch it. If you can't elaborate about this clinching the

2197
01:49:36,120 --> 01:49:39,479
Speaker 1: playoffs last night, two games to play is indicative of

2198
01:49:39,520 --> 01:49:42,000
Speaker 1: what you call the complete culture change here at One

2199
01:49:42,040 --> 01:49:44,559
Speaker 1: Bill's Drive. The headline says Sean McDermott and Brandon Mean

2200
01:49:44,920 --> 01:49:47,680
Speaker 1: have officially changed the culture at One Bills Drive, Right

2201
01:49:47,680 --> 01:49:51,000
Speaker 1: They put their stamp on it last night. Yeah. Absolutely.

2202
01:49:51,240 --> 01:49:54,280
Speaker 1: You know year three of the we'll call it the process.

2203
01:49:54,600 --> 01:49:57,960
Speaker 1: You know, they inherit a team with a salary cap nightmare.

2204
01:49:58,800 --> 01:50:02,200
Speaker 1: A number of guys that are approaching free agency in

2205
01:50:02,240 --> 01:50:04,400
Speaker 1: the next couple of years have to make decisions on them.

2206
01:50:04,439 --> 01:50:08,519
Speaker 1: They trade Sammy Watkins, they trade Ronald Darby, they trade

2207
01:50:08,560 --> 01:50:11,639
Speaker 1: Marcel Darius and I mean a couple of years ago,

2208
01:50:11,680 --> 01:50:15,000
Speaker 1: the Bills had sixty million dollars in dead cap money.

2209
01:50:16,280 --> 01:50:18,680
Speaker 1: Part of Bush I could be to blame for. I

2210
01:50:18,800 --> 01:50:22,520
Speaker 1: was going to bring that up. I was afraid to. Yeah,

2211
01:50:22,560 --> 01:50:25,519
Speaker 1: I did account for twenty or so percent of that.

2212
01:50:25,600 --> 01:50:29,880
Speaker 1: I apologize, and again again I apologize. I did not

2213
01:50:29,920 --> 01:50:32,960
Speaker 1: want to get hurt. Now I'm just kidding. But what

2214
01:50:33,000 --> 01:50:35,839
Speaker 1: they've been able to do in building through the draft

2215
01:50:36,040 --> 01:50:39,680
Speaker 1: and making prudent decisions in free agency to bring in

2216
01:50:39,760 --> 01:50:43,439
Speaker 1: guys that can complement your first round middle linebacker in

2217
01:50:43,520 --> 01:50:46,160
Speaker 1: Tremade Emmons, your first round corner in Trade White, your

2218
01:50:46,200 --> 01:50:49,679
Speaker 1: first round quarterback and Josh Allen, these guys that they've

2219
01:50:49,720 --> 01:50:52,879
Speaker 1: built around. And then you you like I just mentioned

2220
01:50:53,120 --> 01:50:57,000
Speaker 1: prudent decisions of free agency, not getting not going out

2221
01:50:57,000 --> 01:51:00,719
Speaker 1: and getting the Rolls Royce, but getting a bunch of quality,

2222
01:51:01,000 --> 01:51:04,400
Speaker 1: quality football players that aren't going to mortgage of the

2223
01:51:04,439 --> 01:51:08,240
Speaker 1: franchise for short term success. So now, um, you know this,

2224
01:51:08,240 --> 01:51:11,639
Speaker 1: this team, now they're having success, they expect to win.

2225
01:51:11,960 --> 01:51:14,439
Speaker 1: They go to Pittsburgh and win on Sunday Night Football

2226
01:51:14,439 --> 01:51:17,439
Speaker 1: to clinch it. And it wasn't a surprise to anybody

2227
01:51:17,439 --> 01:51:20,120
Speaker 1: in that locker room wasn't a surprise to the fans anymore.

2228
01:51:20,360 --> 01:51:22,519
Speaker 1: It wasn't a surprise to us calling the game. You know,

2229
01:51:22,520 --> 01:51:24,439
Speaker 1: I was excited after the game last night, but the

2230
01:51:24,479 --> 01:51:28,360
Speaker 1: last thing I was was surprised. So so that that

2231
01:51:28,600 --> 01:51:32,080
Speaker 1: is a true culture change. And now you have a

2232
01:51:32,080 --> 01:51:34,320
Speaker 1: team that clinches the playoffs with two weeks to go

2233
01:51:34,640 --> 01:51:37,559
Speaker 1: in the regular season, an outside chance of winning the division.

2234
01:51:37,960 --> 01:51:40,000
Speaker 1: And you're coming up on an off season where I

2235
01:51:40,000 --> 01:51:43,519
Speaker 1: believe you have eighty million dollars and cat money to spend.

2236
01:51:43,560 --> 01:51:45,720
Speaker 1: You have all of your draft picks and then some.

2237
01:51:46,240 --> 01:51:51,719
Speaker 1: It's just it's unbelievable what they've done. And I've I've

2238
01:51:51,720 --> 01:51:54,960
Speaker 1: said this to them personally. You know what Sean and

2239
01:51:55,080 --> 01:51:59,760
Speaker 1: Brandon have done by simply sticking to their guns. And

2240
01:52:00,360 --> 01:52:02,400
Speaker 1: you know, at the trade deadline this year, how easy

2241
01:52:02,400 --> 01:52:04,360
Speaker 1: it would have been for them to say, let's go

2242
01:52:04,400 --> 01:52:07,120
Speaker 1: take a one year flyer on somebody. Yeah, maybe we'll

2243
01:52:07,160 --> 01:52:09,280
Speaker 1: give up a first round draft pick, but hey, the

2244
01:52:09,320 --> 01:52:13,599
Speaker 1: fans will love it. Uh, you know, it'll create more excitement.

2245
01:52:13,760 --> 01:52:17,000
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe it helps us get a push. But they've

2246
01:52:17,080 --> 01:52:20,160
Speaker 1: drafted so well. You can't you can't give up one

2247
01:52:20,160 --> 01:52:23,240
Speaker 1: of your first rounders, you know, And so I just

2248
01:52:23,320 --> 01:52:27,799
Speaker 1: compliment them for sticking to their guns and just trusting

2249
01:52:27,840 --> 01:52:30,639
Speaker 1: their own process. I'll say, well, you said that this

2250
01:52:30,720 --> 01:52:32,800
Speaker 1: season rolls on. You got two games left. The New

2251
01:52:32,840 --> 01:52:35,960
Speaker 1: England Patriots are next, and there is an outside chance

2252
01:52:35,960 --> 01:52:38,000
Speaker 1: of the Bills could win the division. It would take

2253
01:52:38,680 --> 01:52:41,280
Speaker 1: a win this week on Saturday at four thirty in

2254
01:52:41,280 --> 01:52:44,920
Speaker 1: the afternoon in New England against the Patriots, and the

2255
01:52:45,040 --> 01:52:47,000
Speaker 1: next week the Patriots would have to get beat by

2256
01:52:47,080 --> 01:52:51,720
Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick in the three and eleven Miami Dolphins. Fun scenario,

2257
01:52:51,840 --> 01:52:55,479
Speaker 1: cheering for fits on week seventeen, if you get if,

2258
01:52:55,920 --> 01:52:57,960
Speaker 1: if indeed the Bills can go into New England and win.

2259
01:52:58,080 --> 01:53:01,200
Speaker 1: But you know, there's still a lot in play here

2260
01:53:01,240 --> 01:53:04,360
Speaker 1: for Buffalo, even though they've got at least the five

2261
01:53:04,439 --> 01:53:08,760
Speaker 1: seed locked up. Nevertheless, this is a game I think

2262
01:53:08,760 --> 01:53:11,080
Speaker 1: you gotta go in and you gotta you gotta win

2263
01:53:11,160 --> 01:53:14,439
Speaker 1: this one. Oh, I think so. In New England's more

2264
01:53:14,520 --> 01:53:16,840
Speaker 1: vulnerable than I've seen them in a long long time.

2265
01:53:17,240 --> 01:53:19,639
Speaker 1: And um, you know, I could eat my words, but

2266
01:53:20,160 --> 01:53:22,040
Speaker 1: I checked earlier and they have us at a six

2267
01:53:22,080 --> 01:53:24,840
Speaker 1: and a half point dog already. It'll be interesting to

2268
01:53:24,880 --> 01:53:27,920
Speaker 1: see what that line does throughout the week. But you know,

2269
01:53:28,000 --> 01:53:30,200
Speaker 1: in my opinion, this is a game that the Buffalo

2270
01:53:30,240 --> 01:53:33,559
Speaker 1: Bills need to go in and go after. And not

2271
01:53:33,720 --> 01:53:36,800
Speaker 1: that they wouldn't, but but this is maybe the most

2272
01:53:37,560 --> 01:53:41,559
Speaker 1: winnable game at Foxboro since the deflate Gate year when

2273
01:53:41,560 --> 01:53:45,400
Speaker 1: we faced Jacoby Brisette with a hurt thumb. So um,

2274
01:53:46,080 --> 01:53:47,960
Speaker 1: you know for this is this is a big game

2275
01:53:48,040 --> 01:53:49,840
Speaker 1: and if the Bills can go out and win this

2276
01:53:49,880 --> 01:53:53,200
Speaker 1: one in Foxboro be a statement to be a confidence builder.

2277
01:53:53,520 --> 01:53:56,720
Speaker 1: Uh And and I'll say this, if if we could

2278
01:53:56,760 --> 01:53:59,200
Speaker 1: have done this week, I'll get fitz Magic in the

2279
01:53:59,280 --> 01:54:02,920
Speaker 1: right spot to win and you'll take care of that. Okay,

2280
01:54:03,160 --> 01:54:05,679
Speaker 1: that's good to know, Eric, thanks for this every great week.

2281
01:54:05,680 --> 01:54:07,439
Speaker 1: Could work last night, could work today. We'll talk to

2282
01:54:07,479 --> 01:54:11,000
Speaker 1: you again. Thank you. Yeah, my pleasure. Guys. Eric Wood,

2283
01:54:11,120 --> 01:54:13,479
Speaker 1: radio analyst on the Bills Radio network, does a great

2284
01:54:13,520 --> 01:54:14,880
Speaker 1: job there. He's a lot of fun to work with

2285
01:54:14,960 --> 01:54:18,400
Speaker 1: and I would put him in charge of Ryan Fitzpatrick

2286
01:54:18,479 --> 01:54:21,000
Speaker 1: to be honest with you, if the scenario plays out,

2287
01:54:21,240 --> 01:54:24,680
Speaker 1: you talk to Fits, all right. Let Eric Wood talk

2288
01:54:24,720 --> 01:54:26,200
Speaker 1: to Fits see if he can get his mind right

2289
01:54:26,240 --> 01:54:30,320
Speaker 1: so we can so we can beat the Patriots in Foxborough.

2290
01:54:30,360 --> 01:54:33,480
Speaker 1: He would be immortalized in Buffalo history. In a game

2291
01:54:33,520 --> 01:54:36,320
Speaker 1: where the Patriots could clinch the division, they won't show

2292
01:54:36,400 --> 01:54:38,880
Speaker 1: up right thanks to Eric for joining this. So they

2293
01:54:38,880 --> 01:54:41,240
Speaker 1: were talking and talking a lot and had some interesting

2294
01:54:41,320 --> 01:54:43,880
Speaker 1: things to say in the Bills locker room late last night.

2295
01:54:43,960 --> 01:54:46,200
Speaker 1: I was in there, so we're a couple of other reporters.

2296
01:54:46,360 --> 01:54:48,240
Speaker 1: Let's take a listen. Let's go around the locker room,

2297
01:54:48,280 --> 01:54:51,600
Speaker 1: brought to you by Connect Life Blood and organ Donor Network.

2298
01:54:51,600 --> 01:54:56,480
Speaker 1: Around the locker room, head coach Sean McDermott. I'm clinching

2299
01:54:56,520 --> 01:54:59,280
Speaker 1: the playoff spot with the win, thank god. I mean,

2300
01:54:59,320 --> 01:55:00,880
Speaker 1: it's just it's just feels good to win a game.

2301
01:55:00,920 --> 01:55:02,440
Speaker 1: It's hard to win a game, you know. And then

2302
01:55:02,440 --> 01:55:06,120
Speaker 1: when you talk about playoffs to you know, being here

2303
01:55:06,200 --> 01:55:08,560
Speaker 1: three years, to uh, to be in at two out

2304
01:55:08,560 --> 01:55:11,320
Speaker 1: of three years, we're a blessing. Um just you know,

2305
01:55:11,400 --> 01:55:15,360
Speaker 1: but just feel like it's all people, It really is.

2306
01:55:15,360 --> 01:55:17,640
Speaker 1: It's all the people behind me in that locker room,

2307
01:55:17,800 --> 01:55:20,960
Speaker 1: all the people back home at one Bill's Drive, all

2308
01:55:21,000 --> 01:55:23,480
Speaker 1: of our fans, I mean, the fans tonight again in

2309
01:55:23,520 --> 01:55:28,920
Speaker 1: a place like Pittsburgh unreal and unreal. So um, just

2310
01:55:29,200 --> 01:55:32,480
Speaker 1: I'm humbled by it, and and yet we're hungry to

2311
01:55:32,560 --> 01:55:36,880
Speaker 1: continue to grow and get better. Quarterback Tradavias White. The

2312
01:55:36,920 --> 01:55:39,120
Speaker 1: importance of a win over the Steelers and getting into

2313
01:55:39,160 --> 01:55:42,760
Speaker 1: the playoffs anytime you can go into the playoffs no

2314
01:55:42,800 --> 01:55:45,360
Speaker 1: matter how or but clinching it and being in a

2315
01:55:45,400 --> 01:55:48,160
Speaker 1: position to come in here and win. I'm winning the

2316
01:55:48,200 --> 01:55:52,120
Speaker 1: last time we want here seventy five. So, I mean

2317
01:55:52,160 --> 01:55:54,680
Speaker 1: it's big for us. And just we know we're not

2318
01:55:54,760 --> 01:55:57,200
Speaker 1: connected to to the past. This team is not connected

2319
01:55:57,240 --> 01:55:59,120
Speaker 1: to the past, but we just want to be that

2320
01:55:59,200 --> 01:56:01,640
Speaker 1: team to pretty much break down those barriers and break

2321
01:56:01,640 --> 01:56:03,600
Speaker 1: those bounties. And we've been doing a great job all

2322
01:56:03,680 --> 01:56:05,880
Speaker 1: year and it's just just sponded to versus in just

2323
01:56:06,400 --> 01:56:09,880
Speaker 1: you know, just playing total team football. Heaydn Lee Smith

2324
01:56:10,040 --> 01:56:12,120
Speaker 1: did he imagine this type of season when he signed

2325
01:56:12,160 --> 01:56:15,680
Speaker 1: with Buffalo in the spring. I would have cut Kyle

2326
01:56:15,680 --> 01:56:17,640
Speaker 1: Williams car tires if it wouldn't turned out this way.

2327
01:56:17,680 --> 01:56:19,680
Speaker 1: He promised me this place was special, and I listened,

2328
01:56:20,400 --> 01:56:22,080
Speaker 1: and along with a lot of other people, I called.

2329
01:56:22,280 --> 01:56:23,720
Speaker 1: You know, I've been here before. I knew a lot

2330
01:56:23,760 --> 01:56:25,640
Speaker 1: of faces in the building, you know, the Pat de

2331
01:56:25,720 --> 01:56:28,200
Speaker 1: Marco's and other people that I'm around, you know, union

2332
01:56:28,200 --> 01:56:30,720
Speaker 1: meetings and this and that, and because everybody raved about

2333
01:56:30,720 --> 01:56:32,440
Speaker 1: it from you know, what did Googlers have done since

2334
01:56:32,480 --> 01:56:35,560
Speaker 1: I left? You know the coach and staff Sean, you

2335
01:56:35,560 --> 01:56:37,680
Speaker 1: know his process, how consistent he is every day. So

2336
01:56:38,240 --> 01:56:40,040
Speaker 1: it's just it's just a special, special place. We have

2337
01:56:40,040 --> 01:56:42,520
Speaker 1: a great young quarterback that gets better every week, and

2338
01:56:42,560 --> 01:56:44,240
Speaker 1: it's just it's just awesome and it's just so cool.

2339
01:56:44,480 --> 01:56:47,640
Speaker 1: Quarterback John Shannon on the game winning scoring drive started

2340
01:56:47,640 --> 01:56:50,280
Speaker 1: by John Brown's forty yard catch, a huge play for US.

2341
01:56:50,280 --> 01:56:54,000
Speaker 1: Scott us down into really points territory. Um allowed us

2342
01:56:54,040 --> 01:56:57,200
Speaker 1: to you know, be aggressive on third down and you know, um,

2343
01:56:57,680 --> 01:56:59,400
Speaker 1: I want to give a shout out to Tyler Cross

2344
01:56:59,480 --> 01:57:01,920
Speaker 1: for sure and other the things that he's had to

2345
01:57:01,960 --> 01:57:03,920
Speaker 1: go through in his football career, in his life and

2346
01:57:04,000 --> 01:57:06,440
Speaker 1: last year or two m to come out and to

2347
01:57:06,480 --> 01:57:08,360
Speaker 1: be resilient and to be a team first guy and

2348
01:57:08,400 --> 01:57:10,640
Speaker 1: not to worry about stats. And then when his numbers called,

2349
01:57:10,680 --> 01:57:12,600
Speaker 1: he made a huge play for US. So, UM, I

2350
01:57:12,680 --> 01:57:15,080
Speaker 1: get the chills thinking about it. He's just one of

2351
01:57:15,120 --> 01:57:16,920
Speaker 1: those guys that just continues to work and that kind

2352
01:57:16,920 --> 01:57:20,280
Speaker 1: of really depitifies this team and what we are and

2353
01:57:20,320 --> 01:57:23,360
Speaker 1: who we are and how we do things defensive tackled

2354
01:57:23,400 --> 01:57:27,800
Speaker 1: Jordan Phillips on the Buffalo defense defense. I mean, how

2355
01:57:27,840 --> 01:57:31,960
Speaker 1: many what was the score? Seventeen? Tun We had four turnovers,

2356
01:57:32,280 --> 01:57:34,640
Speaker 1: Trey Wye had two picks. Lee Way Wallace had to pick.

2357
01:57:34,760 --> 01:57:38,440
Speaker 1: Who else how to pick? We have five takeaways. I

2358
01:57:38,440 --> 01:57:39,960
Speaker 1: don't know who else got the one, but that's five

2359
01:57:39,960 --> 01:57:44,960
Speaker 1: one on Sunday night. What else do y'all want? You?

2360
01:57:45,480 --> 01:57:47,840
Speaker 1: The locker room brought you back Connect Life Blood and

2361
01:57:47,920 --> 01:57:51,600
Speaker 1: Oregon Donor Network. Sean McDermot the first SoundBite there. Steve

2362
01:57:51,680 --> 01:57:54,440
Speaker 1: said something that, to be honest, it made me remember

2363
01:57:55,120 --> 01:57:57,040
Speaker 1: Dick Duran used to say this. Sean just said it

2364
01:57:57,120 --> 01:57:58,760
Speaker 1: the last night. He said it's hard to win a

2365
01:57:58,800 --> 01:58:01,160
Speaker 1: game in the NFL. Now, for some reason, when Dick

2366
01:58:01,200 --> 01:58:03,520
Speaker 1: Guron said it, I would get livid, like, don't say that.

2367
01:58:03,920 --> 01:58:06,920
Speaker 1: Sean says it, and I'm like, well, you're right, you

2368
01:58:06,960 --> 01:58:09,560
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Because Duron didn't win enough. Sean wins,

2369
01:58:09,640 --> 01:58:11,160
Speaker 1: and for him to say it's hard to win a game,

2370
01:58:11,200 --> 01:58:13,600
Speaker 1: I think he's right. Duron probably thought the same thing,

2371
01:58:13,600 --> 01:58:15,280
Speaker 1: but it just didn't sound the same coming out of

2372
01:58:15,320 --> 01:58:20,640
Speaker 1: his mouth. More impossible, right, unbelievable. All right, we're gonna

2373
01:58:20,640 --> 01:58:22,760
Speaker 1: talk more with you about last night's game. We gotta

2374
01:58:22,800 --> 01:58:24,680
Speaker 1: get to the tweet sheet and you can let us

2375
01:58:24,720 --> 01:58:26,560

01:58:26,600 --> 01:58:29,760
Speaker 1: clinching the playoff spot. What's the best part about last

2394
01:59:37,600 --> 01:59:40,160
Speaker 1: got up at eight thirty. Yeah, I'm all right. How

2395
01:59:40,280 --> 01:59:41,880
Speaker 1: was up? Where I was the one at home? You

2396
01:59:41,920 --> 01:59:46,960
Speaker 1: have issues? We know this. Maddy welcome. I'm glad you're here.

2397
01:59:47,480 --> 01:59:49,320
Speaker 1: This is your first year with the Bills. They're in

2398
01:59:49,320 --> 01:59:51,240
Speaker 1: the playoffs. You probably think this is this is the

2399
01:59:51,240 --> 01:59:54,000
Speaker 1: way it goes. Like Dean Dawkins said in this postgame

2400
01:59:54,720 --> 01:59:57,680
Speaker 1: media availability, this is normal now, I know, I know

2401
01:59:57,800 --> 02:00:02,360
Speaker 1: nothing else. The Bills just make the playoffs. That happened

2402
02:00:02,600 --> 02:00:05,120
Speaker 1: you a post up on Buffalo bills dot com just

2403
02:00:05,280 --> 02:00:07,480
Speaker 1: kind of decay and exactly where they sit and what's

2404
02:00:07,520 --> 02:00:11,040
Speaker 1: to come, right, Yeah, So it was kind of hashing out.

2405
02:00:11,080 --> 02:00:14,600
Speaker 1: If the playoff picture was decided today, this was what

2406
02:00:14,640 --> 02:00:17,240
Speaker 1: would happen. So obviously we would be the fifth seed

2407
02:00:17,320 --> 02:00:20,400
Speaker 1: and likely playing the Houston Texans. Now there's two weeks

2408
02:00:20,480 --> 02:00:23,080
Speaker 1: left in the regular season, so the Bills are still

2409
02:00:23,360 --> 02:00:28,040
Speaker 1: fighting for that AFC East title spot. You know, they'd

2410
02:00:28,080 --> 02:00:30,720
Speaker 1: have to be the Patriots and win their last game

2411
02:00:30,720 --> 02:00:33,720
Speaker 1: in the season. Patriots would have to lose out but Hey,

2412
02:00:34,000 --> 02:00:37,040
Speaker 1: this can happen. Yeah, oh yeah, And here's the thing.

2413
02:00:37,200 --> 02:00:40,080
Speaker 1: If Buffalo is locked in to the fifth seed unless

2414
02:00:40,080 --> 02:00:41,680
Speaker 1: they win the division, that's the only way it's going

2415
02:00:41,720 --> 02:00:45,240
Speaker 1: to go. So it's gonna be either. Is it gonna

2416
02:00:45,240 --> 02:00:49,600
Speaker 1: be either Houston in Houston or Kansas probably Kansas City,

2417
02:00:49,680 --> 02:00:52,680
Speaker 1: Kansas City in Kansas City. Yeah, do you have one

2418
02:00:52,680 --> 02:00:54,840
Speaker 1: you'd rather face? Well? I like Houston. I think it's

2419
02:00:54,880 --> 02:00:57,480
Speaker 1: a better matchup for the Bills. Their defense is number

2420
02:00:57,520 --> 02:00:59,600
Speaker 1: twenty eight in the league ranked right, and that's the

2421
02:00:59,600 --> 02:01:01,160
Speaker 1: one you kind of would like a shot out with

2422
02:01:01,200 --> 02:01:05,240
Speaker 1: his offense. Kansas City now their defense is getting better,

2423
02:01:05,680 --> 02:01:07,560
Speaker 1: but it's still the weak spot of their team as well.

2424
02:01:07,600 --> 02:01:09,640
Speaker 1: But going into Kansas City late in the year with

2425
02:01:09,720 --> 02:01:11,960
Speaker 1: that offense, I mean, I like our chances with our

2426
02:01:12,000 --> 02:01:16,120
Speaker 1: defense against anybody. But I think I think Houston would

2427
02:01:16,120 --> 02:01:17,880
Speaker 1: be the lower seed for a reason. And I think

2428
02:01:17,880 --> 02:01:19,600
Speaker 1: that's the one you want. Yeah, And we went and

2429
02:01:19,640 --> 02:01:22,040
Speaker 1: played very well in Houston last year despite getting beat

2430
02:01:22,480 --> 02:01:26,000
Speaker 1: so I want to see Houston too too. Would also

2431
02:01:26,040 --> 02:01:28,880
Speaker 1: be nice to win the next two games. Have New

2432
02:01:28,920 --> 02:01:31,320
Speaker 1: England dropped the next two games and then be sitting

2433
02:01:31,440 --> 02:01:36,280
Speaker 1: here with nothing to do on wild Car. I would

2434
02:01:36,280 --> 02:01:39,240
Speaker 1: love that Maddie is here. You bring certain trophy which

2435
02:01:39,280 --> 02:01:43,000
Speaker 1: is amazing work of art, and Maddie presents the Maddies.

2436
02:01:43,000 --> 02:01:46,080
Speaker 1: How you familiar with this? After a Buffalo victory, Maddie

2437
02:01:46,080 --> 02:01:49,520
Speaker 1: Glad presents the Maddie's our own version of the Oscars

2438
02:01:49,520 --> 02:01:52,000
Speaker 1: where she goes through the game and through some other

2439
02:01:52,280 --> 02:01:54,400
Speaker 1: issues around the NFL with the war. So you got

2440
02:01:54,400 --> 02:01:57,160
Speaker 1: the Maddies. So we got the Maddies. I don't have

2441
02:01:57,200 --> 02:01:59,520
Speaker 1: a big sparkly address, so I've got my one Bills

2442
02:01:59,560 --> 02:02:03,080
Speaker 1: Live pull over on which is good enough. So we'll

2443
02:02:03,120 --> 02:02:05,720
Speaker 1: go with offensive MVP first. I think that goes to

2444
02:02:05,840 --> 02:02:08,920
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. This offense got on the board first with

2445
02:02:08,960 --> 02:02:11,160
Speaker 1: a rushing touchdown by Josh Allen. I thought that was

2446
02:02:11,200 --> 02:02:15,120
Speaker 1: important going up against the fifth ranked defense in the Steelers. Now,

2447
02:02:15,360 --> 02:02:17,600
Speaker 1: it was slow through the second and the third quarter,

2448
02:02:17,640 --> 02:02:19,800
Speaker 1: stringing to play together, but you got to look at

2449
02:02:19,840 --> 02:02:23,680
Speaker 1: that fourth quarter drive that Josh Allen orchestrated, that big

2450
02:02:23,720 --> 02:02:26,200
Speaker 1: pass play to John Brown, going to John Brown again,

2451
02:02:26,320 --> 02:02:28,960
Speaker 1: even though it was an incompletion, he found Devin's singletary

2452
02:02:29,000 --> 02:02:32,400
Speaker 1: for fifteen yard game a short John Brown pass and

2453
02:02:32,400 --> 02:02:35,320
Speaker 1: then to the end zone to Tyler Croft. You couldn't

2454
02:02:35,360 --> 02:02:38,120
Speaker 1: have done that better. And I think that just speaks

2455
02:02:38,120 --> 02:02:40,640
Speaker 1: to what this offense has done this season. Josh Allen

2456
02:02:40,760 --> 02:02:45,480
Speaker 1: is a fourth quarter bawler. He has ten fourth quarter

2457
02:02:45,560 --> 02:02:52,120
Speaker 1: comebacks I believe, so pretty good on him. Yeah, defensive MVP,

2458
02:02:52,280 --> 02:02:53,960
Speaker 1: this is a no brainer. If you get this wrong,

2459
02:02:54,040 --> 02:02:58,000
Speaker 1: Maddie year out, defensive MVP has to go to Trey

2460
02:02:58,280 --> 02:03:01,240
Speaker 1: White for his two inner set options. I was gonna

2461
02:03:01,240 --> 02:03:07,320
Speaker 1: say Jordan Phillips, but oh, we're gonna talk about h

2462
02:03:07,960 --> 02:03:10,800
Speaker 1: It's gotta go to Trey White because of what he's

2463
02:03:10,880 --> 02:03:13,640
Speaker 1: able to do. That secondary had such a great game

2464
02:03:13,960 --> 02:03:16,400
Speaker 1: and I think Trey Wright what really started it for

2465
02:03:16,520 --> 02:03:20,360
Speaker 1: the secondary. That first interception came on a third down play.

2466
02:03:20,560 --> 02:03:24,040
Speaker 1: He almost housed the second one, Unfortunately defender got in

2467
02:03:24,080 --> 02:03:26,200
Speaker 1: the way. He had to go h an offensive player

2468
02:03:26,200 --> 02:03:28,040
Speaker 1: got in the way, he had to go out of bounds.

2469
02:03:28,080 --> 02:03:30,400
Speaker 1: But I mean, come on the season that this guy's

2470
02:03:30,440 --> 02:03:33,960
Speaker 1: having six interceptions total. That leads the league for most

2471
02:03:34,000 --> 02:03:37,920
Speaker 1: interceptions so far this season. He is a great player

2472
02:03:37,960 --> 02:03:40,520
Speaker 1: to have on this team. I love his personality. I

2473
02:03:40,600 --> 02:03:43,160
Speaker 1: love that he said Trey White goalie academy when he

2474
02:03:43,240 --> 02:03:46,360
Speaker 1: was introducing himself on the broadcast. Just a great player

2475
02:03:46,360 --> 02:03:48,960
Speaker 1: to have. I hope he stays in Buffalo forever. Any

2476
02:03:49,040 --> 02:03:51,600
Speaker 1: word on post game? Do anybody ask him about his shoulder?

2477
02:03:52,160 --> 02:03:54,520
Speaker 1: I was, I did the other interviews. Brownie was over there.

2478
02:03:54,560 --> 02:03:56,920
Speaker 1: I'm sure you're hearing. I did not hear, because he

2479
02:03:57,080 --> 02:03:59,800
Speaker 1: seemed like he looks like he bounced back pretty good.

2480
02:04:00,160 --> 02:04:02,440
Speaker 1: H He came back and had the pick for the

2481
02:04:02,880 --> 02:04:07,640
Speaker 1: big long return after the shoulders, So uh, I guess

2482
02:04:07,680 --> 02:04:10,280
Speaker 1: he's okay. Although maybe that shoulder had an idea is

2483
02:04:10,320 --> 02:04:12,360
Speaker 1: White didn't cut back in and accept some contact and

2484
02:04:12,360 --> 02:04:13,920
Speaker 1: try and get a little few more yards out of it.

2485
02:04:13,960 --> 02:04:16,960
Speaker 1: That was I'm interested to see that because I know

2486
02:04:17,040 --> 02:04:20,440
Speaker 1: this the whole everybody who's cheering for the Bills when

2487
02:04:20,480 --> 02:04:23,640
Speaker 1: he went down stayed down with his shoulder. That was.

2488
02:04:24,560 --> 02:04:27,000
Speaker 1: That was a big scary moment for for the Bills

2489
02:04:27,000 --> 02:04:29,240
Speaker 1: fans because they know this defense makes everything go and

2490
02:04:29,560 --> 02:04:32,360
Speaker 1: Trey White makes the defense. Definitely, it's a good Maddie

2491
02:04:32,360 --> 02:04:34,440
Speaker 1: Maddie award there. He really did this moving through the

2492
02:04:34,480 --> 02:04:37,880
Speaker 1: maddies And you have the best quote of the game. Yeah,

2493
02:04:37,800 --> 02:04:39,960
Speaker 1: we've sound on it. So let's let's take a listen

2494
02:04:40,000 --> 02:04:43,400
Speaker 1: to Maddie's best quote of the game last night. That's

2495
02:04:43,400 --> 02:04:53,080
Speaker 1: a heck of a winning boys. I'm gonna tell you what, man,

2496
02:04:53,120 --> 02:04:55,280
Speaker 1: they can't they can talk to us and tell us

2497
02:04:55,280 --> 02:04:57,440
Speaker 1: how small we are, how we're not fast enough, how

2498
02:04:57,440 --> 02:04:59,400
Speaker 1: we're not big enough. If they got no idea, how

2499
02:04:59,440 --> 02:05:08,280
Speaker 1: big a heart, resilient football team right here, Matt, Hey,

2500
02:05:08,560 --> 02:05:18,000
Speaker 1: let's go. Let's keep roade. Sean mcdermot's postgame would you

2501
02:05:18,040 --> 02:05:19,600
Speaker 1: like that one? I love that he talks about the

2502
02:05:19,680 --> 02:05:21,320
Speaker 1: character in the heart of the team because I think

2503
02:05:21,360 --> 02:05:23,600
Speaker 1: that's one thing that makes this team so special and

2504
02:05:23,680 --> 02:05:26,560
Speaker 1: so talented. When you love your coach and you love

2505
02:05:26,560 --> 02:05:29,080
Speaker 1: the players on your team, Steve, you can probably speak

2506
02:05:29,120 --> 02:05:30,720
Speaker 1: to this more than I can. You're going to run

2507
02:05:30,720 --> 02:05:33,640
Speaker 1: through brick wall for that person, for that player next

2508
02:05:33,640 --> 02:05:35,600
Speaker 1: to you, that teammate next to you. And I think

2509
02:05:35,640 --> 02:05:38,160
Speaker 1: that's what's going on here in Buffalo and what Sean

2510
02:05:38,320 --> 02:05:40,800
Speaker 1: and Brandon mean have done in the last three years here.

2511
02:05:40,880 --> 02:05:43,560
Speaker 1: They've changed the culture. They've made it something unique, something

2512
02:05:43,600 --> 02:05:47,160
Speaker 1: that is not the norm on every single NFL team. Yeah,

2513
02:05:47,240 --> 02:05:49,720
Speaker 1: I think you're right, and I'll give you an example.

2514
02:05:49,880 --> 02:05:52,200
Speaker 1: You've got to what happens is when the best players

2515
02:05:52,200 --> 02:05:54,879
Speaker 1: on the team, like the Dredavious Whites and Josh Allen's

2516
02:05:55,480 --> 02:05:57,480
Speaker 1: um and you can down the list, Tremaine Edmonds, all

2517
02:05:57,520 --> 02:06:01,640
Speaker 1: the quality veteran leaders that you have on that team,

2518
02:06:01,680 --> 02:06:07,080
Speaker 1: when they start acknowledging and accepting and including the bottom

2519
02:06:07,120 --> 02:06:09,560
Speaker 1: of the roster, When the coach calls out the bottom

2520
02:06:09,560 --> 02:06:12,560
Speaker 1: of the roster for being contributors, it elevates them. And

2521
02:06:12,600 --> 02:06:15,240
Speaker 1: when the bottom of your roster elevates, so does the

2522
02:06:15,280 --> 02:06:20,880
Speaker 1: top and you start hitting on getting plays from everywhere.

2523
02:06:21,040 --> 02:06:23,280
Speaker 1: Tyler Croft showing up from nowhere, it gets one target

2524
02:06:23,320 --> 02:06:25,840
Speaker 1: gets a touchdown when he had his chance. He executed

2525
02:06:25,880 --> 02:06:28,000
Speaker 1: exactly what he was supposed to do. It wasn't like, well,

2526
02:06:28,000 --> 02:06:29,920
Speaker 1: I've been sitting on the sidelines, I don't know if

2527
02:06:29,920 --> 02:06:32,200
Speaker 1: I'm ready for he gets his number called. That's the

2528
02:06:32,280 --> 02:06:34,560
Speaker 1: kind of play that happens when your culture is what

2529
02:06:34,600 --> 02:06:36,800
Speaker 1: it is. When a guy's called on whenever it is,

2530
02:06:37,640 --> 02:06:40,080
Speaker 1: he's ready because he doesn't want to not be ready

2531
02:06:40,120 --> 02:06:41,600
Speaker 1: for the guys in the locker room, and that's what

2532
02:06:41,640 --> 02:06:47,600
Speaker 1: culture does for you. Yeah, Maddi's continue. The best celebration

2533
02:06:47,840 --> 02:06:51,919
Speaker 1: did not occur in Pittsburgh. Lass, I didn't know it. Yeah,

2534
02:06:51,960 --> 02:06:55,000
Speaker 1: it occurred out about two am, when everybody should have

2535
02:06:55,000 --> 02:06:58,120
Speaker 1: been sleeping. But come on, it's it's Buffalo. Of course

2536
02:06:58,160 --> 02:07:00,960
Speaker 1: the fans are going to be at the airport welcoming

2537
02:07:01,120 --> 02:07:04,720
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills players and staff and support staff back

2538
02:07:04,760 --> 02:07:07,880
Speaker 1: into Buffalo after they get the dub in Pittsburgh, which

2539
02:07:07,920 --> 02:07:11,040
Speaker 1: clinches a spot in the playoffs. I mean, it wasn't

2540
02:07:11,120 --> 02:07:13,720
Speaker 1: like there's just a few people. There was a good

2541
02:07:13,760 --> 02:07:17,600
Speaker 1: amount of people at two in the morning, going crazy

2542
02:07:17,720 --> 02:07:21,960
Speaker 1: welcoming these people. They were allowed, like way to go

2543
02:07:22,040 --> 02:07:26,200
Speaker 1: bills most two different police so cool experts in crowd control.

2544
02:07:26,240 --> 02:07:28,400
Speaker 1: How many people here tonight? They said four or five hundred.

2545
02:07:28,600 --> 02:07:31,480
Speaker 1: I said, that looks about right there they're listening. Yeah,

2546
02:07:31,520 --> 02:07:34,760
Speaker 1: it looks like a good amount of And there's some

2547
02:07:35,080 --> 02:07:37,440
Speaker 1: you can see spring there's some, but those are all

2548
02:07:37,520 --> 02:07:41,800
Speaker 1: those are all twenty something, eighteen year old college something.

2549
02:07:41,920 --> 02:07:44,960
Speaker 1: Because nobody my age was out there, Are you sure?

2550
02:07:45,280 --> 02:07:47,880
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, because that's a little I mean I was,

2551
02:07:48,480 --> 02:07:50,640
Speaker 1: I was up and out there. I was up. But

2552
02:07:51,080 --> 02:07:53,080
Speaker 1: my voice is starting to go now because of it.

2553
02:07:53,120 --> 02:07:58,080
Speaker 1: But it was a moment that you don't get very often.

2554
02:07:58,200 --> 02:08:02,800
Speaker 1: Nobody gets it very often because to sew up a

2555
02:08:02,840 --> 02:08:05,240
Speaker 1: playoff spot so early in the scene with two weeks

2556
02:08:05,280 --> 02:08:08,240
Speaker 1: to play, yeah, is rare. And plus it's the five seeds,

2557
02:08:08,280 --> 02:08:11,480
Speaker 1: not even just getting in. It's the five seed. The

2558
02:08:11,560 --> 02:08:14,800
Speaker 1: Bills really distanced themselves from the second tier pete teams

2559
02:08:14,800 --> 02:08:16,680
Speaker 1: in the conference. Yeah, the second time in three years

2560
02:08:16,680 --> 02:08:18,480
Speaker 1: making it to the playoffs. You got a shout out

2561
02:08:18,480 --> 02:08:20,520
Speaker 1: in the manties, I got. I got two shout outs.

2562
02:08:20,720 --> 02:08:23,240
Speaker 1: We're gonna do an offensive shout out and defensive shout out.

2563
02:08:23,280 --> 02:08:26,520
Speaker 1: We'll start with the defense. Jordan Phillips nine and a a

2564
02:08:26,560 --> 02:08:28,640
Speaker 1: half sacks on the season, the season that he is

2565
02:08:28,680 --> 02:08:31,200
Speaker 1: having is just something special. And the pressure that the

2566
02:08:31,280 --> 02:08:33,600
Speaker 1: defensive line was able to create. I mean, that's why

2567
02:08:33,600 --> 02:08:37,000
Speaker 1: the secondary had such a great game, was because of

2568
02:08:37,040 --> 02:08:39,440
Speaker 1: the pressure that the defensive line, that the front seven

2569
02:08:39,480 --> 02:08:42,880
Speaker 1: we're putting on Hodges and his options to go to,

2570
02:08:42,960 --> 02:08:45,400
Speaker 1: whether it was a receiver or a running back. I mean,

2571
02:08:45,520 --> 02:08:49,879
Speaker 1: that's why these these corners, these safeties were picked off passes.

2572
02:08:50,160 --> 02:08:52,440
Speaker 1: It's good shout out. Last thing, man, I told you

2573
02:08:52,560 --> 02:08:54,440
Speaker 1: this is my favorite moment of the game. Last night.

2574
02:08:54,680 --> 02:08:56,760
Speaker 1: Steelers thought they were in it. They thought they got

2575
02:08:56,760 --> 02:09:01,000
Speaker 1: back into it right, they scored the early quarter. They

2576
02:09:01,000 --> 02:09:03,960
Speaker 1: have this tradition to playing this crazy nineteen seventies a

2577
02:09:04,320 --> 02:09:08,440
Speaker 1: song that Steve Tasker used to in Leota, Kansas, Renegade

2578
02:09:08,440 --> 02:09:12,320
Speaker 1: by sticks right, Yeah, you want to do a little

2579
02:09:12,960 --> 02:09:16,920
Speaker 1: and it was yeah. And I think the best part

2580
02:09:17,000 --> 02:09:19,960
Speaker 1: was on Sunday Night Football on the broadcast, they're breaking

2581
02:09:19,960 --> 02:09:23,879
Speaker 1: down this song and explaining why it's so specials to

2582
02:09:24,200 --> 02:09:26,880
Speaker 1: the Steelers, they said. They said, they played all the time,

2583
02:09:27,000 --> 02:09:29,360
Speaker 1: the fans get going, and so you see all the

2584
02:09:29,440 --> 02:09:32,400
Speaker 1: rally towels and people are singing it. But they what

2585
02:09:32,520 --> 02:09:35,880
Speaker 1: they didn't show was the Bill's bench and here's Matt

2586
02:09:35,880 --> 02:09:39,160
Speaker 1: Barkley and a bunch of guys on defense singing the song,

2587
02:09:39,280 --> 02:09:41,760
Speaker 1: getting amped up to the song. And what happens on

2588
02:09:41,800 --> 02:09:45,120
Speaker 1: the field. The Bills go down and they score so renegade.

2589
02:09:46,960 --> 02:09:48,520
Speaker 1: I said this earlier in the show. You got to

2590
02:09:48,560 --> 02:09:50,560
Speaker 1: give a shout out to the coaching staff. They played

2591
02:09:50,560 --> 02:09:52,560
Speaker 1: that song during practice and said here's what you're gonna hear.

2592
02:09:52,640 --> 02:09:56,440
Speaker 1: Make use it. Uh, don't just let the Steelers take

2593
02:09:56,480 --> 02:09:58,240
Speaker 1: this song and run with it, get all the momentum,

2594
02:09:58,520 --> 02:10:00,400
Speaker 1: feel it and use it for fuel. You're gonna expect it,

2595
02:10:00,400 --> 02:10:04,400
Speaker 1: You're gonna be prepared for it, and they were, and

2596
02:10:04,480 --> 02:10:06,360
Speaker 1: they responded to it in a way that you don't

2597
02:10:06,400 --> 02:10:07,720
Speaker 1: do if you have it's the first time you think

2598
02:10:07,720 --> 02:10:09,680
Speaker 1: about it is that night when it comes out. Oh

2599
02:10:09,720 --> 02:10:12,040
Speaker 1: that's I remember that old song. Yeah, okay, And then

2600
02:10:12,200 --> 02:10:14,440
Speaker 1: you know, now they were prepared for it, they were

2601
02:10:14,520 --> 02:10:17,640
Speaker 1: ready for it, and when it showed up, they used it.

2602
02:10:17,720 --> 02:10:21,640
Speaker 1: And that's that's a really nice small detail that didn't

2603
02:10:21,680 --> 02:10:25,000
Speaker 1: get by the Bills. You, Maddie, thanks, these are great, Yeah,

2604
02:10:25,160 --> 02:10:27,960
Speaker 1: no problem, my pleasure. It was fun. Maddie glab with

2611
02:10:59,560 --> 02:11:02,240
Speaker 1: defensive tackle, another big game for him. We asked him

2612
02:11:02,240 --> 02:11:04,600
Speaker 1: about his decision to come to Buffalo and how his

2613
02:11:04,760 --> 02:11:07,560
Speaker 1: perspective changed after he was a wavery claimed by the Bills.

2614
02:11:07,600 --> 02:11:13,640
Speaker 1: Back in October of twenty eighteen. It wasn't anything to

2615
02:11:13,680 --> 02:11:16,560
Speaker 1: really do with football about why I saw a loving Buffalo.

2616
02:11:17,040 --> 02:11:19,320
Speaker 1: The way our room is, the way our team is,

2617
02:11:19,360 --> 02:11:21,880
Speaker 1: and how everybody has just jailed with each other and

2618
02:11:22,000 --> 02:11:24,520
Speaker 1: love each other. You don't get that everywhere. I mean,

2619
02:11:24,720 --> 02:11:28,560
Speaker 1: last night we got back two am and there's so

2620
02:11:28,720 --> 02:11:35,480
Speaker 1: many people out there yelling, screaming. I was telling at

2621
02:11:35,520 --> 02:11:38,920
Speaker 1: all over last night, sat Bro enjoy this, man. This

2622
02:11:39,080 --> 02:11:42,200
Speaker 1: doesn't come around often. This doesn't this doesn't happen. You

2623
02:11:42,280 --> 02:11:45,000
Speaker 1: don't get love like this from from other places. This

2624
02:11:45,160 --> 02:11:48,800
Speaker 1: is a special place. Jordan Phillips Chris Brown on the

2625
02:11:48,840 --> 02:11:51,280
Speaker 1: show Bills Insider from Buffalo bills dot com as well,

2626
02:11:51,640 --> 02:11:53,400
Speaker 1: Chris talked about and he wrote about it too. It's

2627
02:11:53,440 --> 02:11:56,400
Speaker 1: a post up at Buffalo bills dot com. The culture

2628
02:11:56,480 --> 02:11:59,360
Speaker 1: change that Jean McDermott has affected here in Buffalo over

2629
02:11:59,440 --> 02:12:03,400
Speaker 1: almost three years. Here now here's Chris Brown to be

2630
02:12:03,560 --> 02:12:12,480
Speaker 1: able to add love and togetherness camaraderie like we haven't

2631
02:12:12,520 --> 02:12:14,840
Speaker 1: seen in that locker room in a long time. In

2632
02:12:14,960 --> 02:12:19,520
Speaker 1: the league that is as cutthroat as the NFL, that's

2633
02:12:19,560 --> 02:12:22,480
Speaker 1: in the chief. That is a feat the way these

2634
02:12:22,600 --> 02:12:26,000
Speaker 1: guys love each other, and you see it on the field.

2635
02:12:26,480 --> 02:12:28,120
Speaker 1: We get to see it in the locker room also,

2636
02:12:28,160 --> 02:12:30,200
Speaker 1: whether they're messing around with each other or you know,

2637
02:12:30,360 --> 02:12:33,120
Speaker 1: cracking jokes on each whatever it is. That's all that

2638
02:12:33,320 --> 02:12:37,320
Speaker 1: love that coach McDermott tried to build into this whole

2639
02:12:37,400 --> 02:12:40,560
Speaker 1: foundation to where we are now and to see that

2640
02:12:41,320 --> 02:12:44,080
Speaker 1: knowing as you said, how transient this league is, how

2641
02:12:44,200 --> 02:12:47,000
Speaker 1: cutthroat this league can be with the business side of

2642
02:12:47,080 --> 02:12:52,400
Speaker 1: this league, that's a feat. Chris Brown, as we wrap
