1
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:10,640
Speaker 1: At a Steve Tasker who has been all over the fields.

2
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

3
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 1: player for you, Steve a blimp. We're not even in

4
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 1: the strated here of normalcy here. Let's dial it up

5
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 1: for a game day Monday edition of one Building Days Baby.

6
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 1: Look at all where the people on MSG you're seeing it.

7
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 1: The field is set up for a game. Look at it? Yeah,

8
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 1: and we can talk. We can talk about the field

9
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 1: in a second, because there was a detail that was

10
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:43,599
Speaker 1: performed on the field to prevent a problem that had

11
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 1: happened in some of the earlier home games. We'll get

12
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:48,159
Speaker 1: to that in a second. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you,

13
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:51,319
Speaker 1: broadcasting from the Seneca Studios here in Orchard Park, just

14
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: steps away from Bill Stadium, where there will be a

15
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: game at five pm. Yeah, between the Bills and the Chiefs,

16
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 1: two of the teams off to a better start in

17
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: the AFC than most, although we still have some undefeated

18
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 1: teams in this conference, namely the Tennessee Titans, who came

19
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 1: back to win yesterday and the Pittsburgh Steelers, who who

20
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: probably have the best combination of offense and defense going

21
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 1: right now. They just flattened the Browns who were never

22
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 1: in the game. The their ability to stop the run,

23
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 1: rush the passer is really all it takes right now

24
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Baker Mayfield had no chance to get

25
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 1: settled in at quarterback yesterday. And I'm telling you it,

26
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: Browns could not run it on those guys. Nope, they

27
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 1: were stuffed and that that was a crusher for the Browns.

28
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,040
Speaker 1: And that was in that game. That game got out

29
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 1: of hand. I think quick it looked like, you know,

30
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: the Browns, Listen, the Browns have got some talent, but

31
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:52,279
Speaker 1: for they could not get anything done against the Pittsburgh defense.

32
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: And that's saying something this year in the NFL, it

33
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: really is. You can say what you want about the

34
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins shutting out their opponent, but those just don't

35
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: happen in the NFL. Right, it's the Jets, right, we

36
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: can say that. Right. So it's hard to play good

37
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 1: defense this year. It's hard. And the Steelers look to

38
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: be the team that can really actually get it done.

39
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: They're playing both sides of the ball very very well

40
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 1: right now. And you know, as we have talked about

41
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: on this show several times, when you have a season

42
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: like this where defenses are having trouble stop in anybody,

43
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,359
Speaker 1: and the Steelers defense does not look all that changed

44
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:29,239
Speaker 1: from what it was last year when it was a

45
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: top five unit and you got Ben back and they're

46
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 1: rolling up points, you know, like it's a you know,

47
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: a Rollo Dex that you're just taken for a spin. Yeah,

48
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 1: it's they've had. That's not the only team that they've

49
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: won going away against this season. And the Browns, I

50
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: think thought, hey, you know what, it's finally time. Can

51
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 1: we just get rid of the moniker? You know, Steelers

52
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,639
Speaker 1: fans call this the Who's Your Daddy game, because the

53
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,519
Speaker 1: Steelers have owned the Browns for the better part of

54
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,359
Speaker 1: the last twenty years. Yeah, it's the Who's your Dad game?

55
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 1: I mean that's what it is for Steelers fans. And

56
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 1: they just they did it again, Who's your Daddy? And

57
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 1: it's it's it's changing across the league. We saw it.

58
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: We talked about it for the first month of the season,

59
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 1: how all these teams were lightning up on the scoreboard.

60
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 1: Now yesterday you've got the Panthers only scored sixteen, the

61
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: Jaguars only scored sixteen, the the Washington football team and

62
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 1: the New York Giants scored nineteen and twenty respectively. The

63
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 1: Patriots only scored twelve, the Browns only scored seven, the

64
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 1: Jets scored zero, the Packers with Aaron Rodgers scored ten,

65
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: the Rams, who we've who the Bills have seen, scored sixteen,

66
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: and the Niners in the winning efforts scored twenty four.

67
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: So the scores are starting to come down. Defenses are

68
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: getting a handle, they're starting to get a handle on it.

69
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: And not for nothing. I hope it don't start in

70
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: Buffalo tonight. You want an entertaining game, Yeah, I want to.

71
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: I'd like the team. I like the Bills to win.

72
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: But you know, I don't want to wait till Monday

73
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: at five pm after the scheduling scrambled that we've been

74
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: scrambler that we've been through. You know, I want to

75
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 1: see some. I want to see some, right, And that

76
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: is the good news that came out this morning, because

77
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: you know, you have this game, and then you have

78
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: Arizona playing tonight. Who are they playing again, Cowboys? Cowboys?

79
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: So you have Arizona and Dallas playing and no positive

80
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: tests for any of those four teams. So we're good

81
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: to go for this evening with football with this you know,

82
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: impromptu double header of sorts, and obviously all of our

83
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 1: eyes are focused on this Bill's Chiefs matchup, which is

84
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 1: a huge game in the AFC for early AFC seating.

85
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 1: I guess, for lack of a better term, because this

86
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: we know the conference record tiebreaker comes up, and I know, okay, Chris,

87
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 1: it's week six, what are we talking about here? But

88
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: this is your only crack to give yourself an edge

89
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 1: over a Chiefs team that's probably going to be there

90
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: at the end of the season's starting to look like

91
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: the division leaders are start starting to look like the SEC.

92
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 1: You get one loss and you're like, whoop, You're you're

93
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: in trouble not get into the playoff, right, So you

94
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,839
Speaker 1: don't want to drop down to two laws. Certainly nobody's

95
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: gonna you know, there's not gonna be multiple teams going

96
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 1: sixteen and zero or you know, even fifteen and one.

97
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: But that's what it's. It's a horse race. The top

98
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,119
Speaker 1: five teams in the conference all have one loss or less,

99
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: and the next two, next three have two, right, and

100
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 1: one of these two teams is gonna have two losses

101
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: after tonight, That's right, and slide back down even further

102
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: with the Ravens lead Frog and whoever that is. So, Yeah,

103
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 1: it's the jockeying for position has already begun. Do you

104
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: want to know what the most glaring thing is there?

105
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: There's three AFC North teams in the top seven right now. Well,

106
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,559
Speaker 1: they're gonna they're gonna start cross pollinating and one another

107
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: and we'll see one from the east. Yeah, there are

108
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: more AFC South teams in the playoff picture here right now.

109
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: If the season ended today, then the AFC East looks

110
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 1: like I think people expected the Titans to be there.

111
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 1: I know people were high on the Colts. And Philip

112
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 1: Rivers right at himself this week and had a monster game.

113
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:05,160
Speaker 1: He had two hundred and sixty seven yards passing at halftime. Yeah,

114
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 1: they were down big, I mean down big, two hundred

115
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: and sixty seven yards passing at halftime. Did you watch that?

116
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: Did you watch that? I thought I watched bits and

117
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 1: parts of it. I was flipping back and forth between

118
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 1: the frank keeping between the lines. Bro, you gotta get it,

119
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: and and he was that That game was really strange

120
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: because Philip Rivers came out throws a pick six, like right,

121
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,280
Speaker 1: off the bat right or it wasn't a pick six,

122
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 1: it was it was an interception. They turned it over

123
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:35,359
Speaker 1: and that you know the uh now who the Bengals.

124
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 1: And they came out and Joe Burrow did some things.

125
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: He came out and started playing really well. But man,

126
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 1: oh man, it looked it was it looked bad early

127
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 1: for the Colts and they got it righted and Philip

128
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: Rivers made some throws that were unbelievable. So we'll talk

129
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 1: more about some of the games that were yesterday, but

130
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: obviously the chief focus today, no pun intended. Look, I

131
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: didn't even know. I wasn't even trying to do that.

132
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: But the main focus is your key to a Bill's

133
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: victor tonight against the Chiefs. So tell us what you

134
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 1: believe that is for me. For me, Steve, it's player availability.

135
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: Tradavious White, Matt Milano, John Brown all questionable for tonight's game.

136
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 1: I'm not saying they absolutely have to have all three,

137
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 1: but I feel a whole lot better about them winning

138
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: this game if they do. And I'm genuinely concerned about

139
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: John Brown and the reason why was he was a

140
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: full participant on Thursday or Friday and then on Saturday,

141
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: he was limited. You know, he went, he was a

142
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: full participant on Friday, which was the most strenuous practice

143
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 1: of the week. And then he comes back Saturday and

144
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: he's limited in a gear down practice. So that concerns

145
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: me a little bit. And then of course he's listed

146
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 1: as questionable. So what happens there, I don't know. And

147
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: Tredavious White, I mean, he's practiced all week, went from

148
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 1: limited to full, so you're somewhat confident that he'll be

149
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 1: able to go. But again, I mean, these guys are

150
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 1: all up in the air, and you know, understandably with

151
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: a game of this magnitude, coach has been kind of

152
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: vague with this, and most coaches are. I mean, we

153
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 1: don't have an issue with that. We understand where they're

154
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: coming from. And Matt Mulano, I think some of us,

155
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 1: knowing he was initially given a week to week designation

156
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: by coach McDermott when the injury first occurred coming out

157
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 1: of the Raiders game, I think a lot of us

158
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 1: were of the opinion he was going to probably miss

159
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 1: a couple of games, maybe more, And now he's questionable.

160
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: He has a chance to play tonight, and so I

161
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 1: just look at that, and I say, Steve John Brown,

162
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 1: Matt Milano, Tredavious White. You can make the argument that

163
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 1: there are three of the top seven or eight players

164
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:48,679
Speaker 1: on the entire roster. Certainly they're on the defensive side

165
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: of the football. You can make that over argument. I

166
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: mean certainly, not just if you the best, they're the

167
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: most important, right. Yeah, you can throw poor yr and

168
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:59,079
Speaker 1: hide in there too, Josh and Josh of course, but

169
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 1: dig yeah, these are guys you need. And this is

170
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 1: the thing when you got when you got a team

171
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: with aspirations as high as the Bills do this season,

172
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:10,599
Speaker 1: it's it's a star driven league. Guys become stars in

173
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,079
Speaker 1: the league because they do things nobody else does. They

174
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 1: produce week to week to week to week. And the Keith,

175
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 1: you know, the key to this game tonight is player availability.

176
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: You need your guys out there when you're playing the

177
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: defending world champion. That's what I mean. That is it.

178
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: And on top of that too, it's a matchup league.

179
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 1: I think we all know that this is a matchup league,

180
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 1: especially with all the throwing that goes on now. And man,

181
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 1: if Milano's not playing and White's not playing, they don't

182
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 1: have an answer outside of Jordan Poyer for Travis Kelsey,

183
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 1: and I don't know if you can ask Poyer to

184
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: cover that guy the whole game. I don't know if

185
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 1: that's do you know what I mean? Like, I just

186
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: don't they like to mix and match, and if it's

187
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,319
Speaker 1: Poyer on Kelsey the whole game, I think that gives

188
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,679
Speaker 1: the Chiefs an unfair read on things. And knowing how

189
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: good Andy Reid is, he can scheme it up. You

190
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 1: know where if you if you're mixing and matching, you

191
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:04,959
Speaker 1: put tray white on him for a little bit, you

192
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 1: put milano on him for a little bit. It kind

193
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 1: of keeps them a little off balance and makes the

194
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 1: desire for Patrick Mahomes to go to Kelsey on a

195
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: money down maybe a little more hesitant. I don't know,

196
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 1: maybe not, But I just think if you have more

197
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: bullets in the chamber to use against Kelsey, who I

198
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 1: think is a gigantic key for the Chiefs, and tight

199
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 1: ends have squashed the bills this year. They've given up

200
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: I think the second for the most of us, most

201
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 1: of the most receiving yards to tight ends this year. Now,

202
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 1: obviously Mike Kasiki had over one hundred yards against them

203
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:42,440
Speaker 1: in week two, and then m John who Smith had

204
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 1: a touchdown last week. He didn't kill them in terms

205
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,839
Speaker 1: of yardage. Higbee from the Rams didn't play that ian.

206
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 1: He didn't do a whole lot point of either um.

207
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 1: But it makes you think of the other time without

208
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 1: Milano on there in the in the middle of the defense,

209
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 1: it makes you more predictable and what you're willing to

210
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 1: do to defend a guy like Kelsey. The the Raiders

211
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: tight end right Waller Waller went nuts on them. It

212
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 1: is really it's the worst thing possible is to become predictable,

213
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: because then not only can they stop what you're trying

214
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 1: to do, they can also take advantage of what you're

215
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: trying to do by getting turnovers defensively or getting touchdowns offensively.

216
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 1: And we talked to Greg Cosell about some of these

217
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 1: matchups last week, and not only that, how the Raiders

218
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:29,559
Speaker 1: defended the Chiefs because they would line Travis Kelsey up

219
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 1: on the short side of the field by himself and

220
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: they'd run three wides on the other side to get

221
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 1: some isolation stuff for him. And what the Raiders did

222
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:42,679
Speaker 1: to counter that is they would play man on Kelsey

223
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: and zone up the rest of the field on the

224
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 1: wide side and play that play that way, and it worked.

225
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 1: If you don't have Tradeavious White, I don't know if

226
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 1: you can do that, you know what I mean, Like,

227
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's an approach you can take.

228
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 1: You you're more limited now in terms of what you

229
00:11:56,679 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: can throw at them to counteract the matchup, you know, imbalance,

230
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: so to speak. Right, That's why I'm I would say

231
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 1: if those three, I'm hoping White places right because this

232
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,199
Speaker 1: is a track team and White's the guy that can

233
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: keep a lid on a defense at least take one

234
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 1: option away right now. The Chiefs are gonna be without

235
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins tonight. That's a plus for the for the Bills,

236
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 1: no question about it. Sammy can go. We all know

237
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: that here in Buffalo, as well as any other team

238
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: in the league outside the Chiefs. So that's a plus

239
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 1: for the Bills. But you're we're right back to where

240
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 1: we've said teams are with or with the Bills on

241
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 1: their offense. If they've got all their guys on the field,

242
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 1: you're stretched really thin in your ability to go man

243
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 1: to man and make it work. Yeah, And because They've

244
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 1: got more really good players than you have really good

245
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,319
Speaker 1: players to match up with them. And that's so that's

246
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,680
Speaker 1: a plus for the Bills. But it's only a plus

247
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 1: if Tradavius is on the field. Right, So even with

248
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 1: Levi Wallace hampered like he has been, he I mean

249
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 1: out of the game, you're still hampered. You know, you're

250
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 1: still not one hundred percent. So you got Yeah, player

251
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: availability for both these clubs is the story tonight. Yeah.

252
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 1: The Chiefs will be without Watkins, as Steve mentioned, they

253
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 1: will also be without their starting left guard, Collectio Semele,

254
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 1: who tore tendons in his knee last week and is

255
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 1: not ready to play. It'll be Mike Ramers, that is

256
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 1: the general consensus as to who will fill in for

257
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 1: him at left guard. A journeyman lineman that has played

258
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 1: for him a bunch of teams. He's I believe he

259
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:27,239
Speaker 1: even spent some time in Carolina, so this coach McDermott

260
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 1: probably knows him well and what can be used against him, hopefully,

261
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 1: But if he's in there, he is probably your week

262
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,680
Speaker 1: link because he is a backup and Ed Oliver go

263
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,680
Speaker 1: get him, man like, take advantage of that dude and

264
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 1: go make it happen. And it was interesting last week

265
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 1: that coach Frasier in his weekly press conference with the

266
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:50,199
Speaker 1: media was describing that Oliver, who had that knee injury

267
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 1: and had been playing with the knee brace for the

268
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: last few weeks, wasn't himself but wasn't fully healthy. He

269
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 1: was kind of playing at about seventy seventy five percent,

270
00:13:57,880 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 1: and that's why he wasn't making quite the impact on

271
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 1: games that people are hoping to get from him. So

272
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 1: he is of the opinion, because Ed shed the knee

273
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: brace last week, that they'll get more impactful play from

274
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 1: Ed going forward. So I think that would be a

275
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 1: welcome sign tonight in a matchup that would seem to

276
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 1: favor him getting some chances to make some splash plays,

277
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 1: as they call him. So hopefully that happens. And then

278
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 1: just with respect to the keys to the game here,

279
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: we need your keys. I mean, Steve and I kind

280
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 1: of told you what we're most focused on, But what

281
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 1: are your keys to victory for the Bills tonight? Eighth

282
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 1: three five fifty one eighty eight fifty two, five fifty

283
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 1: the number you get on board and let us know

284
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 1: or you can hit us up on the tweet sheet

285
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 1: at one Bills Live and let us know where you're

286
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 1: coming from there, and I will start with Jack on

287
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet, which is always is brought to you

288
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment moving company of

289
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. Jack says, I work from home and

290
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 1: work until four thirty. So I'm just going to make

291
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 1: sure the beer is cold, the pretzels and dipper in

292
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 1: the bulls, and the TV is turned on and SYNCD

293
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 1: with Murph and Steve. Then get ready to nervously pace

294
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 1: around my living room and annoy my girlfriend and dogs

295
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 1: with my ranting and raving. Okay, you do you working

296
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 1: till four thirties thing? And we are joking about this

297
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 1: about you know, any self respecting Buffalo business owner is

298
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 1: gonna say, like, hey, everybody. I know everybody wants to

299
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 1: watch the game, so we're gonna get off work early

300
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 1: or do this or half a day whatever, whatever, whatever.

301
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 1: And that I think that happened. That's happening a lot.

302
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 1: A lot of people are saying, listen, you gotta you know,

303
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 1: I gotta be home when the game starts. We have

304
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 1: a double tweet sheet today. I should have mentioned that

305
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: that's my fault. So obviously the first part is key

306
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 1: to a Bill's victory over the Chiefs. You can give

307
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 1: us that at eight oh three h five fifty or

308
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 1: on the tweet sheet. And we're also asking how will

309
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 1: you ensure that you don't miss kickoff? It's a five

310
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 1: pm kickoff, which you know, if you commute to work

311
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 1: like we do, it might be a little tight getting

312
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 1: home by kickoff. So you know, if you asked your boss, hey,

313
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 1: can I slide out of here about twenty minutes early?

314
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: You know, I think Buffalo for the most parts of

315
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 1: a twenty minute city, he can get just about anywhere

316
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 1: south sides to north towns in that amount of time.

317
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 1: So where are you at on that? So let us

318
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 1: know eight three five fifty one eighty eight fifty two

319
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 1: five fifty as far as a key to a Bill's

320
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 1: victory over the Chiefs from Max Defense, all caps, exclamation point,

321
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 1: come alive, already make an appearance Ed Oliver, who we

322
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 1: were just talking about. Coincidentally enough, I think Ed feels

323
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 1: as healthy as he did since the start of the season,

324
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 1: and so hopefully he can make an impact because they're

325
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 1: gonna need some some stuff happening up front, and there's

326
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 1: some other parts of this game that I want to

327
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 1: talk to you about on the offensive side to Steve

328
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 1: for the Bills, but we do want to go to

329
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 1: the phones and get those people involved as well. Open

330
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 1: line for you at eight oh three five fifty one

331
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:04,400
Speaker 1: eighty five fifty two, five fifty and we lead off

332
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 1: today on the phone lines with Paul in ken Moore. Paul,

333
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:09,880
Speaker 1: thanks for joining us. What do you have? Hey, Thanks,

334
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 1: as I just want to let you guys know, like

335
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 1: how excited I am just the fact that playing the

336
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 1: Chiefs and that we have like the opportunity to like

337
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:21,639
Speaker 1: to score with them, and for once in my thirty

338
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 1: nine years that I've watched the Bills, well let's say

339
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 1: thirty five because we said didn't watch them as a kids,

340
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 1: but that we've can score with these guys, That that

341
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 1: that I don't fear that that was scoring twenty in

342
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,640
Speaker 1: and us is gonna affect us. And I think that

343
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 1: as much as I'd like the defense to say better,

344
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:41,440
Speaker 1: I think that our offense can compete with them, and

345
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 1: it's just a great feeling to have. And whether we

346
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 1: lose forty two thirty five, thirty five thirty one. Whatever,

347
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,439
Speaker 1: it is the fact that we can actually score with

348
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:55,359
Speaker 1: a team that won the Super Bowl. I love it

349
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 1: and I'll hang up to listen. Thank you very much, guys.

350
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,479
Speaker 1: It's certainly, yeah, it certainly is a different position than

351
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 1: Bills fans have been in for a long long time,

352
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 1: no question about it. And it does feel good because

353
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 1: you feel like you've got a lot of engine under

354
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 1: the hood, you know what I mean. You feel like, hey,

355
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 1: if if they want to shift gears, so let's go.

356
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:14,640
Speaker 1: We got some more gears too. It's it's a lot

357
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 1: of fun to be in a game like this and

358
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 1: to think about it like this, and I want to

359
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 1: I don't want to change the subject, but it's something

360
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,680
Speaker 1: I talk about at the end of last year after

361
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,199
Speaker 1: it was such a fun ride, after we realized that

362
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:29,160
Speaker 1: this with this coaching staff and this front office, they've

363
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 1: been to the playoffs two out of the last three years.

364
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,399
Speaker 1: And it was hard to say goodbye to that game

365
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 1: last year, in the Houston game, the playoff game, and

366
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,120
Speaker 1: I can't believe the season ended like that and all

367
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 1: that that team last year, you got to kind of

368
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:43,880
Speaker 1: say goodbye to it. It was great, it was fun,

369
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 1: but this team this year, even with a lot of

370
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 1: the same guys, it is different. It is a completely

371
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 1: different animal. And that's why every you never know coming

372
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 1: into the season. We talk about it constantly and we

373
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 1: project our own opinions about these other teams or whatever.

374
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:00,440
Speaker 1: Even this team, Brownie, we thought this was going to

375
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,439
Speaker 1: be a kind of a fifty fifty split offense defense,

376
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 1: real balanced attack, really balanced team. You know, we're gonna

377
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, this offense flexes and

378
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,920
Speaker 1: there's they're like, yeah, bring the Chiefs on, We're gonna

379
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 1: score more than they do. We haven't been there, right,

380
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 1: It's a modern day NFL offense is truly uncharted territory.

381
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:25,199
Speaker 1: Well in every way shaping up there's a loaded sentence, right,

382
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:30,199
Speaker 1: but yeah, it's a modern day offense that is throwing

383
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,920
Speaker 1: the ball sixty two and a half percent of the time, which, oh,

384
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 1: by the way, is even more often than the Chiefs

385
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:38,919
Speaker 1: throw it. The Chiefs are a sixty forty team. The

386
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,920
Speaker 1: Bills are a sixty two and a half. Thirty seven

387
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:46,159
Speaker 1: and a half team passed a run. And that's another

388
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 1: part of the of what I want to bring up, Steve,

389
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,439
Speaker 1: I am wondering And I'm trying to read between the

390
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,159
Speaker 1: lines of what coach talked about this week. You know,

391
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 1: coming out of that Tennessee game this past week, he

392
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:01,400
Speaker 1: was disappointed that the run game was not more effective

393
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 1: against the seven man boxes they were facing with the

394
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 1: Titans playing as much Cover two as they did. And

395
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 1: I totally get it. And I'm thinking, in a game

396
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:16,680
Speaker 1: like this against the Chiefs, where your defense has had

397
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 1: a rough go of it in comparison to the previous

398
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:23,400
Speaker 1: two years, against a team that's twenty ninth in run defense,

399
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:26,159
Speaker 1: do you lean on the run game a little bit

400
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:30,679
Speaker 1: more tonight in the hopes of maybe controlling the clock

401
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 1: a little bit more, maybe given Pat Mahomes a little

402
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 1: bit less time with the football. Not that that always

403
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,679
Speaker 1: wins with Pat Mahomes because he can throw at sixty

404
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 1: yards and you have a two play scoring drive. So

405
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's the end all, be all answer,

406
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,880
Speaker 1: but I'm wondering if a ball can a little bit

407
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,639
Speaker 1: more ball control at times, especially if the game is

408
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:56,879
Speaker 1: relatively even early, can help in use your offense to

409
00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,359
Speaker 1: kind of help your defense stop Patrick Mahomes, If you

410
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, I think when you put this

411
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:02,640
Speaker 1: game plan together. You look at the film and you think,

412
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:06,680
Speaker 1: why are these guys not playing run defense? What's their problem?

413
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 1: What are they doing? Are they getting beat physically upfront?

414
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 1: Or are they just not gap sound? And you're talking

415
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:14,439
Speaker 1: about the Chiefs, the Chiefs, the Chiefs defense, that's what

416
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 1: you're doing. If you're the if you're Brian day Ball

417
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:20,160
Speaker 1: and you know and his crew, is there an opportunity? Yeah?

418
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 1: Is there an opportunity there? Are they? Are they weak

419
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:24,879
Speaker 1: when run defense? Because you know they don't care if

420
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 1: you run because they know their offense is going to

421
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,359
Speaker 1: take you out of that itself. There's a probably a

422
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 1: little bit of that. But I think also in everything

423
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:38,200
Speaker 1: that you do, you've got to be mindful that whatever

424
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 1: you do, whether you run it or pass it, predominantly

425
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,880
Speaker 1: you've got to keep up on the scoreboard. Yeah, and

426
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 1: so if if they get a quick score on you,

427
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 1: that's fine, if it's just one, But you can't fall

428
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,120
Speaker 1: behind to this crew. Otherwise then you're gonna start leaning

429
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 1: on turnovers and that kind of thing. But if you're

430
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 1: confident that you can move the ball, run or pass

431
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 1: and finish off the drives and keep paying on the scoreboard.

432
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 1: Then yeah, they'll they'll keep the run game really involved

433
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 1: because I think they'll get some benefit from it in

434
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,160
Speaker 1: future weeks as well when they established say hey, we're

435
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 1: willing to do this, we can do this, and we're

436
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:14,119
Speaker 1: gonna do this. So there and that'll be part of it.

437
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 1: And you have Zach Moss back, yeah, you know, he

438
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 1: was cleared on the injury report, good to go, So

439
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 1: for the first time in three weeks, they'll have him back.

440
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 1: And how much does that impact they're thinking and what

441
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:30,920
Speaker 1: to do with the game plan. Do you drift maybe

442
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 1: a little more with the percentages towards the run, where

443
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 1: maybe you are closer to sixty forty instead of sixty

444
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:38,880
Speaker 1: two and a half and thirty seven and a half.

445
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 1: It doesn't sound like much, but it's probably eight to

446
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 1: ten more carries in the game if they if they

447
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 1: lean that way a little bit more. We're not saying

448
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:50,879
Speaker 1: dramatic change, but maybe just enough to kind of, you know,

449
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 1: hang on to the ball a little bit more, stay

450
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 1: on schedule down in distance wise, milk some clock less

451
00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:00,440
Speaker 1: time for Patrick Mahomes with the football. I just wonder

452
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 1: if if they lean that way a little bit more.

453
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 1: Ever so, slightly, especially getting Moss back and available for

454
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 1: tonight's game. Yeah, and you think about it as well,

455
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 1: Moss's got twenty touches for the year twenty. Yeah, So

456
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 1: they don't know anything about him yet. The Chiefs don't,

457
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 1: and the Bills know just a hair more so, it's

458
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 1: Moss is a little bit of a wild card in

459
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 1: this game. How they're gonna use him. When they're gonna

460
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:27,439
Speaker 1: use him, what's it looked like when they do use him,

461
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 1: what's he good at? What's he not good at. I

462
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 1: don't think anybody knows yet, particularly on the chief sideline,

463
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:34,160
Speaker 1: because I don't think the Bills have a big hand

464
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 1: on where he's gonna do it. I went back and

465
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:41,879
Speaker 1: watched him and then the games that he was available,

466
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 1: and I saw a marked difference from game to game

467
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:51,879
Speaker 1: in him, in how he ran, in the emotion that

468
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 1: he brought to it. His first game, he ran hard,

469
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 1: he ran fast, but it looked to me in his

470
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 1: body language and things I see from all my experience,

471
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 1: he was running, he was thinking about things when he

472
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:03,719
Speaker 1: was running, okay, and it less and less of that

473
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 1: was occurring week in week two. And you know, so

474
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,440
Speaker 1: in every carry he had and particularly in a week

475
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:13,360
Speaker 1: to week basis, he was a different guy. Yeah, and

476
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 1: you could just tell the edginess with which he ran.

477
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 1: He was much more confident. So and I think there's

478
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 1: you know, there's he's going to take another two or

479
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 1: three or ten steps. Yeah, you know, before he even

480
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 1: really becomes his full self. I'm sure eight oh three

481
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 1: five fifty one eighty five fifty two, five fifty to

482
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 1: join us, we go to uh Anthony and Buffalo Anthony,

483
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:35,120
Speaker 1: you're on one Bills Live. Thanks for joining us. Yeah,

484
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 1: I'm stead. How are you doing doing good? What do

485
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 1: you have for us? I'm a huge Bills saying I

486
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:46,639
Speaker 1: love the Bills, and and I was I was thinking.

487
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:50,160
Speaker 1: I was talking about the Bills all day long. And

488
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 1: um me, me and my staff was watching the Bills

489
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:57,439
Speaker 1: game from Tuesday. Try don't listen to the radio, just

490
00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 1: talk to us. We watched the Bills game and Josh

491
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 1: Allen mess up the whole whole thing, and Josh just

492
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 1: and he Annie, Anthony, Anthony, turn your radio down the

493
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,880
Speaker 1: radio one? All right, Okay, thanks Anthony for the call.

494
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 1: I don't think he messed up the whole game. He

495
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 1: had two turnovers? Yes, um one was off a deflected pass.

496
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 1: As we all know by now, Josh did not play

497
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 1: a bad game. He didn't get a lot of help

498
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 1: last week. I think that's fair to say, just bass

499
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 1: drop passes. Uh, defense not stopping anybody, mistakes, pre snap penalties,

500
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 1: misques on special teams. It was a it was a

501
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:47,640
Speaker 1: three phase effort. Last was a systemic, systemic problem. Um,

502
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:49,360
Speaker 1: not knowing when the game was going to be played,

503
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 1: not being able to get themselves mentally ready, completely out

504
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 1: of their routine. Uh, their emotion was flat coming into

505
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,160
Speaker 1: that game, and they were facing a team whose emotions

506
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 1: were sky high high and that and you can say

507
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:06,159
Speaker 1: what you want about the preparation of the days or whatever.

508
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 1: There's only these teams are. Every team has great players,

509
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,440
Speaker 1: Every team has good players. Every team has players they'd

510
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:15,360
Speaker 1: like to would like to play better. They all match up,

511
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 1: and the league is even in a lot of ways,

512
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:24,160
Speaker 1: it's very very parody driven. So the difference between each

513
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 1: team on any given week is only about, you know,

514
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 1: two to four percent of the total of what they

515
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 1: put into that game. But inside that two to four

516
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:36,440
Speaker 1: percent is all the emotional impact is. When one team

517
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 1: shows up flat and the other team shows up sky high.

518
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:43,399
Speaker 1: That is an exaggerated difference that manifests itself in a

519
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 1: ton of ways that a team that sky high takes

520
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 1: advantage of. You had four drops in the first half.

521
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 1: I think they're all in the first half by four

522
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:54,120
Speaker 1: different guys, and Josh ends up twenty seven to forty one.

523
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 1: It should have been thirty one to forty one without

524
00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 1: those drops, and the game is different. Now I'm not

525
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,439
Speaker 1: saying they win it, but I'll tell you this. They

526
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 1: don't turn it over three times. They might even if

527
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:08,359
Speaker 1: they turn it over twice, one of them will directly

528
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:10,439
Speaker 1: led directed to a touchdown on the first and ten

529
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 1: on the twelve. They don't lose by twenty six, and

530
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 1: that changes. That ripple effect goes all the way down

531
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 1: the line. Plus, if you start making plays against a

532
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 1: team and you are efficient and you do that, you

533
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:25,680
Speaker 1: get into it. You do raise your level during the game.

534
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 1: The Bills fought that flat start for three and a

535
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 1: half quarters. They were fighting themselves as much as they

536
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 1: were fighting the type. So that's why those players said

537
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:36,399
Speaker 1: they beat themselves after the game, because in a lot

538
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 1: of ways they did. Yeah, absolutely, and that's true. So

539
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,879
Speaker 1: you know, you can Yes, Josh Allen's gonna make a

540
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,160
Speaker 1: mistake now and again, and it's gonna be more magnified

541
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:47,879
Speaker 1: because he's the guy with the hand ball in his

542
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 1: hands on the ball every play. I get that that

543
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 1: comes with playing quarterback. But you can't you can't hang

544
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 1: the Tennessee loss on Josh Allen. So um they all.

545
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:02,159
Speaker 1: I mean, there's forty seven eleven guys who have a

546
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 1: hand in that deal. Right at coaches too, the same

547
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 1: thing eight oh three oh five fifty to join us.

577
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:50,200

00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:18,480
Speaker 1: for the first time in last entire lifetime. Yeah, it is.

587
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 1: It's a little bit of a change. There's a whole

588
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 1: generation of Bills fans that are just warming up to

589
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 1: the fact that the Bills belong in the NFL. Yeah.

590
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:30,480
Speaker 1: I'm thirty. I've been living out West for a while

591
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 1: and you know, so too young to the Super Bowls.

592
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 1: They're always here from the old people and stuff, right right,

593
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 1: I get you, I get you. There's um you gotta

594
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:42,240
Speaker 1: be I think what you gotta be like almost thirty

595
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 1: five or forty to have been old enough to be

596
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 1: a real fan, you know, and then have lived through

597
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 1: the the two decades of early two thousand, closer to forty, right,

598
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 1: you gotta almost be forty. So there's a whole range

599
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 1: of fans. Aaron, how old are you, I'm thirty. Okay, yeah,

600
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 1: missed it, Yeah you miss missed the window, bro. So

00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 1: Allen's dead. Okay, there you go. So he's like a

604
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,240
Speaker 1: new found Bills fan in California is always commenting on it.

605
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:15,520

606
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 1: on the truck. Always be on and out, Josh Allen,

607

608
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 1: of quality Bills backers bars all over the country, and

609
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 1: there's a ton of them in California. How they're operating

610
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 1: now though, a miss COVID is a difference, yeah, La.

611
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 1: And then I was actually looking around. There's one in

612
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 1: Puerto Rico. Was at one in Quarter ric Yeah, yeah,

613
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 1: I knew. There used to be one in San Diego. Yeah. Yeah,

614
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:39,719
Speaker 1: they're still going to that one, man, I've been there.

615
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 1: Let's go all over the place. We also went to one.

616
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:43,480
Speaker 1: We got went to one of the thanks for the

617
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 1: one ac in South Carolina when we were down Yeah,

618
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 1: we were down in the joint practices with the Panthers

619
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 1: and then we drove a little ways. Though it wasn't

620
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 1: in Spartanburg. It was north. I can't remember the town.

621
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 1: I think it was an Aikin, right. Was it Aikin South?

622
00:31:57,640 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 1: I can't. It seems like I don't know, though I'm

623
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:03,000
Speaker 1: guessing JK. Well, there's a the owner of the bar

624
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 1: gave us a nice letter. We'll go back out there

625
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 1: and check it out. We'll read it during the break

626
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 1: and tell you where it was. But we went there

627
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 1: during training camp. Yeah, I can't remember. For the life

628
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 1: of me, I can't remember happening. But there's a bunch

629
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 1: of them are out there and it's it's kind of

630
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 1: fun to take in the game like that. Although with

631
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 1: the pandemic, you know, every nothing in the doors, nothing's

632
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:22,600
Speaker 1: the same. It's just different. Mike and Orchard Park, Welcome

633
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 1: to the show. What do you have for us? Mike, Hey,

634
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 1: good afternoon, guys. How's everybody all right? Good? Yeah, we're

635
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:32,360
Speaker 1: just good good. I'm tonight. I would just say about

636
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 1: the game, I would not I would not call us

637
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 1: a must win, but I would certainly say that we

638
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 1: must play well, not only because of the quality of

639
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 1: our opponent, but for our collective psyche as a team,

640
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 1: I mean to go out there and put together four

641
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 1: solid quarters of football UM in every aspect of the game. Offense, defense,

642
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 1: special teams, UM no no penalty or not penalty free

643
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 1: or minimum penalty, no dump penalties anyway, just for us

644
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 1: to go out there and put together a solid effort

645
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:08,960
Speaker 1: and play a quality opponent so that you know, you

646
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 1: look back and you know that after last week's debacle,

647
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 1: that we just we shook it off and we put

648
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 1: it together and we got back in the driver's seat

649
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 1: and we got this thing back on the right track.

650
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 1: Because for me, you know, as a fan, I know

651
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 1: the football players and the coach will on really talk

652
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 1: about being focused on the task in hand, but you

653
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 1: glance in that rear view mirror and you see the

654
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 1: way the Miami Dolphins are playing football. To me, there's

655
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 1: they got fire shooting out of their tailpipe. That Fitz

656
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 1: has got them playing at a level where they would

657
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 1: they just like playing for this guy, and he's got

658
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:44,840
Speaker 1: them playing quality football and he's letting it all hang out.

659
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 1: For me, there's nothing more dangerous than a football team

660
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 1: that's playing with everything hanging out, having fun, you know,

661
00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 1: and they're dangerous, and to me, they're a bigger threat

662
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 1: right now than the Patriots. Yeah, well, let's you know what,

663
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 1: You're right, Mike, You're right, they probably are this weekend anyway.

664
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 1: But you know, let's let's think about the Chiefs, uh

665
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 1: and and you can think about the Dolphins all you want,

666
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 1: and they are we're gonna we're gonna get up a

667
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:12,920
Speaker 1: chance at those guys again. But I think you're right

668
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:16,440
Speaker 1: your point about this game tonight for the Bills. It

669
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:21,799
Speaker 1: is about mistakes the Bills, and call it debacle, call

670
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 1: it a stumble, call it, you know, an aberration, whatever

671
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:27,480
Speaker 1: you want to call. Last week's game again against Tennessee,

672
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:31,840
Speaker 1: there were four drop passes, you turned it over three times,

673
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:35,920
Speaker 1: you had ten penalties, and they were all pre snapped.

674
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:39,880
Speaker 1: So all of that stuff was a team that was

675
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,680
Speaker 1: not It was not the Buffalo and it was focused.

676
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:45,319
Speaker 1: It was no Buffalo Bill's team, Sean mcdermots ever put

677
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 1: on the you know what I mean, I mean, they

678
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 1: just looked like somebody else emotionally and execution wise and

679
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:55,080
Speaker 1: all that. They just didn't look sharp. And so I

680
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 1: would think they're gonna be a much better football team

681
00:34:57,239 --> 00:35:00,680
Speaker 1: tonight but if but that would look like no turnovers,

682
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 1: it looked like no penalties, it looked like no drop passes.

683
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 1: And you take all those three things off of that

684
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:08,399
Speaker 1: game last week and they don't get beat by twenty five.

685
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:10,879
Speaker 1: They might have got beat because that's a pretty good

686
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 1: team in Tennessee, but they don't get beat by twenty five.

687
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 1: So you're right, Mike. I think you're right. It starts

688
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 1: tonight's game. Doesn't start with the Chiefs. If you're the Bills,

689
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:22,839
Speaker 1: it starts with the Bills. They got to play like

690
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:26,799
Speaker 1: they can play and let the chips fall where they make.

691
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:29,480
Speaker 1: It's not a must win game, but it's a must

692
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 1: perform game because if you don't perform up to the

693
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:36,920
Speaker 1: level of capability that you've demonstrated you're able to play

694
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:43,600
Speaker 1: at through the first four weeks, then explaining away the

695
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 1: week five performance as an anomaly or just a clunker

696
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 1: becomes more difficult, even if you are playing a team

697
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:53,279
Speaker 1: the caliber of the Chiefs, because if you come out

698
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:57,880
Speaker 1: tonight and you have some of the same lack of focus,

699
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:03,480
Speaker 1: mental errors, and again you contribute to beating yourselves, then

700
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:05,880
Speaker 1: it's it's gonna be a lot harder to explain away

701
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:09,000
Speaker 1: the stinker you played against the Titans. You have to

702
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 1: perform tonight to show, hey, we are a four and

703
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:15,360
Speaker 1: one team for a reason, because we can hang with

704
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:18,920
Speaker 1: the defending Super Bowl champions. Um, it's a must perform

705
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:22,239
Speaker 1: game if it's not and that, you know, we all

706
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 1: know what that looks like. That means it's got to

707
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 1: be close very late. You know, it's got to be

708
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 1: one of those you know, down to the wire games.

709
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:29,759
Speaker 1: And I don't care. It could be one of those

710
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:31,839
Speaker 1: games players who's got the ball ass right, And I'm

711
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 1: much if the Rams game, I don't care if it's

712
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:37,399
Speaker 1: fifty to forty nine or ten to nine. It's got

713
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 1: to be close at the end. And that's that's when

714
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 1: you know you can play with whatever. You know, teams

715
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:45,719
Speaker 1: can be dished up. And I've I've been saying this

716
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:49,719
Speaker 1: to people, you know, like you everybody come across they hey,

717
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 1: what do you think are these tame? And my my

718
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:55,880
Speaker 1: take on this team, this Bill's team is kind of

719
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 1: the same take that I would have on about the Chiefs.

720
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:02,240
Speaker 1: Both of these teams, they're gonna line up and play everybody,

721
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:04,360
Speaker 1: and they're gonna be a handful. They're gonna be a

722
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:07,160
Speaker 1: handful for everybody because of these two offenses and these

723
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 1: two quarterbacks. So I'm both these teams know they're in

724
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 1: a tussle tonight, and you just want to see both

725
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:16,440
Speaker 1: teams show up and play their best and then let's

726
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 1: just see how that comes out. I mean, that's where

727
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 1: you want to do. You want to measure up. Let's

728
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:21,839
Speaker 1: go to Mike and coref you. Mike, you're on one

729
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 1: Bill's Live. Thanks for joining us. What do you have

730
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 1: for us? Hey, guys, good afternoon. How you doing doing?

731
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:31,239
Speaker 1: Good man, it's good Mikey's in the game tonight. Are

732
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 1: special teams. We're gonna need a big contribution from these folks.

733
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:40,360
Speaker 1: It would be nice to win the turnovers ratio or

734
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:42,799
Speaker 1: at least be balanced out where we have the same

735
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 1: turnovers or the same zero turnovers. But I think Josh

736
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 1: has to threaten with his feat. He's got to be

737
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:55,200
Speaker 1: the defense has to respect that Josh running. Josh Allen

738
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 1: can run, and I don't like it when he runs,

739
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:01,319
Speaker 1: but he's effective when he runs. But the two big

740
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:04,399
Speaker 1: keys to me, they have to run the ball, which

741
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:07,680
Speaker 1: they haven't done in any game. It seems like the

742
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:11,280
Speaker 1: pass is opening up the run. And when they pass

743
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:14,440
Speaker 1: and they go three and out or they're unsuccessful, they

744
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:17,839
Speaker 1: rely on the run. It's forecasted that they're gonna run

745
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 1: and they can't run. So maybe it's offensive line play

746
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:25,919
Speaker 1: for the run and the key to the deepense. You've

747
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:28,440
Speaker 1: got to stop the run, get them off the field,

748
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:31,920
Speaker 1: and those are my keys. I'll sit back and hear

749
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 1: what you guys say. Yeah, I would, I would say this.

750
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 1: I agree with you on the turnover thing. I mean

751
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 1: that's obvious. That's every week, but maybe this week more

752
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 1: than any other, because you cannot give Patrick Mahomes in

753
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:48,160
Speaker 1: that offense extra possessions. You're just you're asking just to

754
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 1: take an arrow straight through your heart. If you give

755
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:53,399
Speaker 1: them two or three extra possessions, it's just like just

756
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:56,279
Speaker 1: stand there and just take them right to the heart.

757
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 1: You're playing, you're playing in traffic. Yeah, it's just not

758
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:04,360
Speaker 1: a good idea. So that's first second. I agree with

759
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:07,080
Speaker 1: you on the run point, but I think there is

760
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 1: I think what we're looking for here is just enough

761
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:16,760
Speaker 1: running to keep the chiefs honest and to at least

762
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:21,799
Speaker 1: have in their head the threat that you know it's

763
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:25,239
Speaker 1: second and four, second and five. You know these guys

764
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:27,399
Speaker 1: aren't going to throw it all over the yard. There

765
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 1: could be a run here, do you know what I mean?

766
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 1: Like from a play calling perspective, you're sixty two and

767
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:35,880
Speaker 1: a half percent pass on the year. It's almost as

768
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:40,399
Speaker 1: if they've drifted, maybe ever so slightly too far over

769
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:42,719
Speaker 1: to the passing game. And believe me, I understand why

770
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:45,320
Speaker 1: Josh has been lightening it up. It's hard to argue

771
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:48,400
Speaker 1: with what he has done predominantly through the course of

772
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:50,880
Speaker 1: this season. I don't I'm not gonna argue with it

773
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:55,200
Speaker 1: at all. He's been fantastic, But there is a danger

774
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:59,239
Speaker 1: sometimes where you get away from being balanced to the

775
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:03,279
Speaker 1: point where you be come too predictable. And I I'm

776
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:05,560
Speaker 1: not gonna claim to be an analytics guy at all

777
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:07,520
Speaker 1: and be able to crunch these numbers to define what

778
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:10,759
Speaker 1: predictable is. But I think they have to run the

779
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:14,279
Speaker 1: ball a little bit better, a little bit more effectively,

780
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 1: and maybe a little bit more often to at least

781
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:20,680
Speaker 1: keep the chiefs guessing ever so slightly as to what

782
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 1: could become. Yeah, I mean, I don't want to restate

783
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 1: what you just said, but that's exactly right. You've got

784
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:26,960
Speaker 1: to run it well enough so they got to think

785
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:29,520
Speaker 1: about it. Yeah, because right now put it in their head. Yeah,

786
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:32,399
Speaker 1: I don't think the defense of the Chiefs is thinging. Man, Okay,

787
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:33,920
Speaker 1: we got to start by stopping them. We know what

788
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:37,520
Speaker 1: the Bill's offensive identity is, so I I that's where

789
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:40,560
Speaker 1: I'm at as well just run it effectively so that

790
00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:42,279
Speaker 1: the Chiefs have got to say, well, you know what,

791
00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 1: they may run this here here and they're pretty we

792
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:46,680
Speaker 1: gotta you know, you've got to either you've got to

793
00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 1: get them thinking about it. And right now, I don't

794
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 1: think it's even a consideration for any of the teams

795
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:52,600
Speaker 1: of the Bills have played. They have not had to

796
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:54,400
Speaker 1: consider now. They've done a nice job against I'm not

797
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:56,799
Speaker 1: saying they were totally you know, backing out of there,

798
00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:59,680
Speaker 1: but they were not threatened by the Bills. Run game

799
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:04,640
Speaker 1: eight three five fifty line open for you there, folks.

Speaker 1: sec Here on one Bills Live, presented by Kalid to Health.

809
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 1: This is Buffalo Bill's Radio Back on One Bills Live

810
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:44,479
Speaker 1: Game Day edition with Bill's chiefs Tonight at five, Chris Brown,

811
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:46,640
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker with you, and right back to the phones

812
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 1: we go, and we lead it off with Dave in Michigan. Dave,

813
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:54,720
Speaker 1: you're on one Bills Live. What do you have for us? Sir? Hey, guys,

814
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:58,200
Speaker 1: thank you for taking my call. Sure, I am kind

815
00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:00,279
Speaker 1: of equeen with a lot of other people have been saying,

816
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 1: I'm been a fan of this team for so long.

817
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:07,040
Speaker 1: I go into this game. Sure, I'd like to be

818
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:09,640
Speaker 1: talking about an upset tomorrow or a big win tomorrow.

819
00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:12,560
Speaker 1: But honestly, Um, there is such a thing as a

820
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:18,840
Speaker 1: good loss in in in relation to they do they belong?

821
00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:20,960
Speaker 1: And I think they can show they belong win or

822
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:24,840
Speaker 1: lose tonight in the conversation with the elite teams, and

823
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:28,400
Speaker 1: that's what I'm looking for. Um. Last week was what

824
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:31,800
Speaker 1: it was. But Steve, I think about that nineties team

825
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:33,640
Speaker 1: and I'm showing my age, but I've been a fan

826
00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:35,879
Speaker 1: for a long time. That nineties team, in my mind

827
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 1: was the best Bills team of all the four Super

828
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:41,759
Speaker 1: Bowl teams. And I remember you guys getting blown out

829
00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:44,600
Speaker 1: at home by Miami like Game two of that year

830
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:47,399
Speaker 1: and bounce back and went to the Super Bowl. So

831
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:52,480
Speaker 1: one game does not, you know, dictate a season, and

832
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:55,920
Speaker 1: I think it's just how how we lose or a

833
00:42:55,960 --> 00:43:01,000
Speaker 1: win tonight is important. Yeah, I think I got a

834
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:05,040
Speaker 1: lot of faith in the culture and the program and

835
00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:07,960
Speaker 1: the institution and whatever you want to call it that

836
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:12,160
Speaker 1: they've implanted here in Buffalo, with Sean McDermott Brandon being

837
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:14,800
Speaker 1: the coaching staff, and the players and the veteran players

838
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:16,680
Speaker 1: and the key players that are here with Kim and

839
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:19,440
Speaker 1: Terry Pagoula as well, and the investments they've made and

840
00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:22,680
Speaker 1: the culture they've created and cultivated. I've got a lot

841
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:26,440
Speaker 1: of faith in that it's real, that it's tangible, that

842
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 1: the professionalism and the level and the bar on a

843
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:32,560
Speaker 1: weekly and daily basis has been raised to such a

844
00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:35,440
Speaker 1: level that you have a right to expect that this

845
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:37,279
Speaker 1: is a team that is going to show up now,

846
00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:40,080
Speaker 1: certainly due to And I've said this before, that game

847
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:48,080
Speaker 1: last week was not normal for the Bills and it

848
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:51,680
Speaker 1: wasn't even normal for the Titans. And the outcome of

849
00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:56,319
Speaker 1: that game, in the way it looked, reflected that. So

850
00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:58,560
Speaker 1: I think you're going to get much more of a

851
00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:01,000
Speaker 1: Bills team that we have seen over the last eighteen

852
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 1: months than you are the team that we saw last week.

853
00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:05,440
Speaker 1: This is a team is going to show up and

854
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:07,279
Speaker 1: play well. They're gonna do some things. And I got

855
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:09,959
Speaker 1: news for You're right, you want to see your team

856
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:12,760
Speaker 1: play really well against really good football teams and occasionally

857
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:19,920
Speaker 1: beat them. This team, in my opinion, that bar is

858
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:23,239
Speaker 1: way higher than that, and I think Bills fans have

859
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:26,480
Speaker 1: been conditioned a little bit to be really happy when

860
00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:31,760
Speaker 1: their team is respected around the league. The Bills players

861
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:34,360
Speaker 1: and coaches at a point now or their bars a

862
00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:38,879
Speaker 1: little higher than that. They want teams to know they've

863
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:40,600
Speaker 1: got to bring it or they're gonna get beat and

864
00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:44,120
Speaker 1: beat bad. They want they want those teams to think, man,

865
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:45,680
Speaker 1: this is a team to can beat us if they

866
00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:48,120
Speaker 1: play well. And that's where the bar is for the

867
00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:51,400
Speaker 1: guys in the locker room and the and the coaching staff.

868
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:54,160
Speaker 1: So I think that's where they are, and I think

869
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:56,680
Speaker 1: that's where I have confidence they're gonna be tonight. It

870
00:44:56,719 --> 00:44:58,880
Speaker 1: doesn't mean they're gonna win because they're playing against a

871
00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 1: team that's the world champions, But every team in the league,

872
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:05,320
Speaker 1: there's been one team in the history of the league

873
00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:10,160
Speaker 1: that didn't take a bad loss in a season. Yeah,

874
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:12,880
Speaker 1: everybody else takes it, takes it, takes it on the

875
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:17,279
Speaker 1: chin once, maybe usually more than once. So, yeah, that

876
00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:19,759
Speaker 1: was a bad game last week, and they looked bad

877
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:22,960
Speaker 1: doing it. But the Bills looked bad, not because of

878
00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:25,759
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans, but because of the situation of what

879
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:27,560
Speaker 1: they were in were They came out flat and they

880
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:29,880
Speaker 1: didn't they didn't play well. Yeah, they just they just

881
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:33,600
Speaker 1: didn't play well. They're too good, and their culture is

882
00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:36,080
Speaker 1: such that you would expect and have it right to

883
00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:39,439
Speaker 1: expect that that's not gonna happen. Too. They're not gonna happen.

884
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:41,120
Speaker 1: That's not gonna happen two weeks in early I don't

885
00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:44,279
Speaker 1: mean they're gonna win this game going away, but I

886
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:46,479
Speaker 1: have every reason to believe they're gonna play and play

887
00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:50,279
Speaker 1: well against a very good football ten in it and

888
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:53,000
Speaker 1: be in it and be in it. Yeah, eight three,

889
00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:56,240
Speaker 1: five fifty John and Tonawanda is next. John, You're on

890
00:45:56,280 --> 00:46:00,920
Speaker 1: What Bills Live? What do you have for us? Johnny

891
00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:03,879
Speaker 1: with us, sir? Oh yeah here, I am sorry, Yeah,

892
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:05,959
Speaker 1: no problem when you got for us? Fame is coming

893
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:07,719
Speaker 1: soon to you, buddy. I just want to say that

894
00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:13,400
Speaker 1: all the fame is coming soon to you, Steve. Okay,

895
00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:15,560
Speaker 1: go ahead, John, what else you got? You better turn

896
00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:18,520
Speaker 1: your radio your TV down. I think we have to

897
00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:23,360
Speaker 1: uh have the running game going really good tonight with

898
00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:27,360
Speaker 1: Zach and Devin, because if we can keep my homes

899
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:30,240
Speaker 1: off the field, that's the key to winning this game,

900
00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:33,960
Speaker 1: you know, because it's obvious if he's out there with

901
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:36,880
Speaker 1: all those weapons, he's going to score. You know, no

902
00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:38,960
Speaker 1: matter how good our d plays, you can't just hold

903
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:40,960
Speaker 1: them down. So I think we have to have a

904
00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:43,880
Speaker 1: running game going. Get fifty one hundred and seventy yards

905
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:46,920
Speaker 1: between the two guys, and I think that all work

906
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:50,319
Speaker 1: for us. You know, we'll be at whatever winner. Yeah.

907
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:52,480
Speaker 1: I think I get what you're saying. And you want

908
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:54,759
Speaker 1: to shorten the game, make everybody instead of having like

909
00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:59,640
Speaker 1: twelve or fourteen or probably fourteen to sixteen possessions during

910
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:02,359
Speaker 1: the game. Game. You want him to have like eight

911
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:04,960
Speaker 1: or ten possessions during the game. But my point would

912
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:08,759
Speaker 1: be more like this, whatever happens, don't give them a

913
00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:13,160
Speaker 1: free possession with a fumble or whatever. And on all

914
00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:15,640
Speaker 1: your possessions, you got to end it with points, hopefully

915
00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:18,720
Speaker 1: touchdowns at least field goals. You got to score every

916
00:47:18,760 --> 00:47:21,120
Speaker 1: possession you get it and try and get them to

917
00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:24,359
Speaker 1: skip one and then you got a chance. Yeah, no

918
00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:26,759
Speaker 1: matter how many possessions there end up being. He's kind

919
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:28,440
Speaker 1: of in the same boat as me. Though, maybe use

920
00:47:28,520 --> 00:47:32,400
Speaker 1: the run game just enough to kind of kill run

921
00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:36,239
Speaker 1: some clock, you know, keep that other defense on the

922
00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:38,840
Speaker 1: field so that Patrick Mahomes is not on the field,

923
00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:41,440
Speaker 1: because I think there's a healthy respect, clearly from the

924
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:44,279
Speaker 1: callers we've heard from already, there's a healthy respect for

925
00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:47,719
Speaker 1: what he and that offense is capable of doing. I mean,

926
00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:50,640
Speaker 1: the guy's two years removed from an MVP, one year

927
00:47:50,719 --> 00:47:54,040
Speaker 1: removed from a Super Bowl MVP. I mean, the guy's

928
00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:58,040
Speaker 1: the real deal. Even in games where people think he

929
00:47:58,080 --> 00:48:01,640
Speaker 1: did not play well, for example, last week, he still

930
00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:04,040
Speaker 1: scores thirty two points. He helps his offense score thirty

931
00:48:04,080 --> 00:48:07,399
Speaker 1: two points. So they're gonna get theirs. They're good enough

932
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:10,399
Speaker 1: to get theirs no matter how good you are. So

933
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:13,000
Speaker 1: if you can keep him off the field and he's

934
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:14,840
Speaker 1: got fewer plays to run, all the better as I

935
00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:16,520
Speaker 1: see it. All right, we have to take a break,

936
00:48:16,520 --> 00:48:20,360
Speaker 1: but when we come back in just about five minutes time,

937
00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:23,920
Speaker 1: we'll be joined by Chiefs Radio Network analyst Dane and Hughes,

938
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:25,759
Speaker 1: former wide receiver for the Chiefs in the mid to

939
00:48:25,800 --> 00:48:28,920
Speaker 1: late nineties. He'll be joining us next to give us

940
00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:32,000
Speaker 1: the lowdown on what is going on with the KC

941
00:48:32,239 --> 00:48:34,880
Speaker 1: team as they are now in town and ready to

942
00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:37,480
Speaker 1: play the Bills in about four hours time. That's when

943
00:48:37,560 --> 00:48:40,319
Speaker 1: kickoff is happening. He's coming up next here on One

Speaker 1: Watkins to Buffalo put on hold as he won't play

952
00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:19,520

953
00:49:19,520 --> 00:49:22,960
Speaker 1: will also be without starting left guard Collectio Semele. The

954
00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:26,239
Speaker 1: New York Jets fire sale continues. According to reports, New

955
00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:29,600
Speaker 1: York has traded veteran defensive tackle Steve McClendon to Tampa

956
00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:32,719
Speaker 1: Bay along with the seventh round pick in twenty twenty three,

957

Speaker 1: in exchange for a sixth round pick in twenty twenty two.

958
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:40,200
Speaker 1: Around the AFC East, Ryan Fitzpatrick continues his hot play

Speaker 1: three touchdown passes to lead the Dolphins to a twenty

960
00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:46,040

961
00:49:46,080 --> 00:49:48,520
Speaker 1: and three on the season, while the Jets drop to

962
00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:52,000
Speaker 1: o and six. It was a Bronco's defense that handled

963
00:49:52,080 --> 00:49:54,920
Speaker 1: Cam Newton and the Patriots, but the final, being eighteen

964
00:49:54,960 --> 00:49:58,359
Speaker 1: to twelve in favor of Denver, was Denver's first road

965
00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:00,760
Speaker 1: win in New England since two tho I was in six.

966
00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:02,960
Speaker 1: The Pats fall to two and three and now sit

967
00:50:03,040 --> 00:50:05,600
Speaker 1: third in the AFC East, the first time New England

968
00:50:05,640 --> 00:50:08,840
Speaker 1: has had a losing record in October or later since

969
00:50:08,920 --> 00:50:12,920
Speaker 1: two thousand and two. Steelers remain undefeated after a thumping

970
00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:16,080
Speaker 1: of the Browns thirty eight to seven. Titans forced overtime

971
00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:18,400
Speaker 1: with the Texans and a late touchdown to a J

972
00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:21,680
Speaker 1: Brown wanted for Tennessee in overtime. It's their first five

973
00:50:21,719 --> 00:50:23,440
Speaker 1: and o start since two thousand and eight, but they

974
00:50:23,480 --> 00:50:26,359
Speaker 1: did lose left tackle Taylor Lawan for the season. He

975
00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:29,880
Speaker 1: had suffered a torn acl in that game and a

976
00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:32,359
Speaker 1: wild day in Tampa as the Bucks handed Green Bay

977
00:50:32,360 --> 00:50:34,920
Speaker 1: their first loss of the season. Was the Bucks defense,

978
00:50:34,960 --> 00:50:37,759
Speaker 1: who gave Aaron Rodgers problems for the entire game in

979
00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:41,200
Speaker 1: their thirty eight to ten victory over the Packers. One

980
00:50:41,239 --> 00:50:43,759
Speaker 1: other game tonight on the Monday Night Football Slate. It's

Speaker 1: the Cardinals and Cowboys tonight at eight fifteen, and that

982
00:50:47,239 --> 00:50:50,239

990
00:51:09,200 --> 00:51:11,839
Speaker 1: Tasker with you get to see you? Man, Hey, what's

991
00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:13,920
Speaker 1: going on, fellows? I'm doing all right. It's waiting for

992
00:51:13,960 --> 00:51:16,960
Speaker 1: this game this yeah, kind of day night, but not

993
00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:20,319
Speaker 1: really Monday night game. Monday afternoon. Yeah for you guys,

994
00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:23,200
Speaker 1: it's Monday afternoon, right, Yeah, what are you what's the

995
00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:24,759
Speaker 1: vibe coming out of the Chiefs? I mean none. They

996
00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:27,600
Speaker 1: took one on the chin from the Raiders last week.

997
00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:32,000
Speaker 1: The Raiders, I've said all along, that was like the

998
00:51:32,320 --> 00:51:35,240
Speaker 1: season for the Raiders. Derek Card never won in Kansas

999
00:51:35,280 --> 00:51:38,080
Speaker 1: City in his career. John Gruden the same thing, that

1000
00:51:38,120 --> 00:51:40,200
Speaker 1: he wanted to make a statement against those guys. What

1001
00:51:40,239 --> 00:51:42,640
Speaker 1: was What's the vibe from the Kansas City Chiefs fans

1002
00:51:43,120 --> 00:51:46,960
Speaker 1: about that game last week and also from the team itself. Well,

1003
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:49,160
Speaker 1: I think there was some shock anytime you win ten

1004
00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:51,560
Speaker 1: of eleven against the team and they hadn't won here

1005
00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:55,320
Speaker 1: since two thousand and twelve. Yeah, I mean, you expect

1006
00:51:55,400 --> 00:51:58,359
Speaker 1: to win that game every even Steve knows, you know,

1007
00:51:58,680 --> 00:52:01,480
Speaker 1: any given Sunday, anything can happen. But in the back

1008
00:52:01,480 --> 00:52:03,719
Speaker 1: of your mind, when you know you're a better team,

1009
00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:07,520
Speaker 1: you're the defending Super Bowl champ. You expect to win

1010
00:52:07,560 --> 00:52:10,200
Speaker 1: that game is especially on your home turf, So I

1011
00:52:10,239 --> 00:52:13,000
Speaker 1: think it was a little bit of shock. But at

1012
00:52:13,040 --> 00:52:15,319
Speaker 1: the same time, I have to give credit to John

1013
00:52:15,360 --> 00:52:19,880
Speaker 1: Gruden and Derek Carr and their defense game plan. They

1014
00:52:19,960 --> 00:52:21,960
Speaker 1: came out and they played as well as they could,

1015
00:52:22,560 --> 00:52:26,440
Speaker 1: and in my eyes, the Chiefs didn't play anywhere near

1016
00:52:26,960 --> 00:52:29,960
Speaker 1: their capabilities and they still only lost by eight points.

1017
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:33,040
Speaker 1: So not that there's a moral victory or anything like that,

1018
00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:35,440
Speaker 1: but I think, yeah, you're right. It was the Raiders

1019
00:52:35,480 --> 00:52:38,080
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. They did a victory lap and their bustes

1020
00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:42,200
Speaker 1: around Arrowhead, and I always made the joke I said,

1021
00:52:42,200 --> 00:52:44,160
Speaker 1: they just couldn't figure out how to get out. It

1022
00:52:44,280 --> 00:52:46,120
Speaker 1: wasn't a victory lap, they just couldn't figure out how

1023
00:52:46,120 --> 00:52:47,920
Speaker 1: to get out of it. But yeah, it was a

1024
00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:49,880
Speaker 1: good game on that part. It was. It was a

1025
00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:53,400
Speaker 1: big win, but we'll take some learning experience from that,

1026
00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:57,719
Speaker 1: and we got a big loss. Like you mentioned, Collectiosemily out.

1027
00:52:57,840 --> 00:53:02,160
Speaker 1: He was kind of that heartbeat, the offensive line, the bulldog,

1028
00:53:02,840 --> 00:53:05,440
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be interesting to see how we are

1029
00:53:05,480 --> 00:53:08,480
Speaker 1: able to get guys back in the fold in that position.

1030
00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:12,719
Speaker 1: Talking to Dan and Hughes, Chiefs radio analyst and Dana

1031
00:53:12,719 --> 00:53:16,000
Speaker 1: and I was very interested in how the Raiders played

1032
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:19,120
Speaker 1: the Chiefs defensively, particularly in the second half, when they said, Hey,

1033
00:53:19,680 --> 00:53:22,000
Speaker 1: let's not blitz this guy. He kills people against the

1034
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:25,799
Speaker 1: blitz when he's under pressure. Let's drop into coverage here,

1035
00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:28,799
Speaker 1: let's only rush three maybe four, put a spy on him.

1036
00:53:29,160 --> 00:53:32,280
Speaker 1: And it seemed to work with a lot more success

1037
00:53:32,320 --> 00:53:35,040
Speaker 1: than trying to come after him. So how much are

1038
00:53:35,040 --> 00:53:38,080
Speaker 1: you expecting maybe the Bills to take a page out

1039
00:53:38,080 --> 00:53:41,640
Speaker 1: of that book as well as future opponents. Well, I

1040
00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:44,280
Speaker 1: think it's it's a smart approach. Now will it work

1041
00:53:44,440 --> 00:53:47,600
Speaker 1: every single week? I'm not sure. And it's interesting because

1042
00:53:47,640 --> 00:53:51,320
Speaker 1: when you talk about this matchup tonight, you have almost

1043
00:53:51,320 --> 00:53:56,120
Speaker 1: identical type of production against blitz versus not blitz. So

1044
00:53:56,560 --> 00:54:00,000
Speaker 1: each defensive coordinator is going to have to be crafty

1045
00:53:59,760 --> 00:54:02,960
Speaker 1: and how they're going to approach very talented quarterbacks this

1046
00:54:03,080 --> 00:54:07,279
Speaker 1: evening because guys Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes, they don't throw

1047
00:54:07,280 --> 00:54:10,279
Speaker 1: interceptions against the blitz. They seem to handle it very well.

1048
00:54:10,320 --> 00:54:14,080
Speaker 1: They're very mobile at the pocket. But you know as

1049
00:54:14,080 --> 00:54:15,839
Speaker 1: well as I do, we've been around the game for

1050
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:18,640
Speaker 1: a long time. If you can pressure a quarterback with

1051
00:54:18,760 --> 00:54:21,480
Speaker 1: three or four guys. I don't care what package you

1052
00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:24,000
Speaker 1: run on the back end, you're probably going to be

1053
00:54:24,040 --> 00:54:27,279
Speaker 1: successful more times than not. And you can go back

1054
00:54:27,320 --> 00:54:30,560
Speaker 1: to the Tampa Bay days when they had the Tampa

1055
00:54:30,600 --> 00:54:33,840
Speaker 1: two and Lawrence staff up front. They were able to

1056
00:54:33,920 --> 00:54:38,279
Speaker 1: rush without having the blitz. Good, really great defenses can

1057
00:54:38,360 --> 00:54:40,440
Speaker 1: do that. Now I'm not saying that the Raiders are

1058
00:54:40,440 --> 00:54:43,720
Speaker 1: a great defense. I think they just executed really well.

1059
00:54:43,760 --> 00:54:45,960
Speaker 1: But yeah, if you can get three guys at the

1060
00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:47,879
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage or four guys, and then you can

1061
00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:52,759
Speaker 1: have a fast linebacker buying and shadowing Patrick Mahomes or

1062
00:54:52,920 --> 00:54:57,759
Speaker 1: opposite Josh Allen, it'll make it very very difficult to

1063
00:54:57,840 --> 00:55:03,279
Speaker 1: have the stained distant production on your offense. So yeah,

1064
00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:06,799
Speaker 1: I think it's a copycat league to some extent. You know,

1065
00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:09,160
Speaker 1: there's a lot of coaches out there that looked at

1066
00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:11,960
Speaker 1: other people's success. They watched the film and they say,

1067
00:55:11,960 --> 00:55:14,960
Speaker 1: we can implement that. But at the same time, Andy

1068
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:19,360
Speaker 1: Reid a mad scientist. On offense, He's probably coached his

1069
00:55:19,520 --> 00:55:22,719
Speaker 1: coaches up and coached the players up on how to

1070
00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:25,919
Speaker 1: combat that so it doesn't happen again. So that's where

1071
00:55:25,960 --> 00:55:28,960
Speaker 1: that kind of game within the game comes about how

1072
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:31,960
Speaker 1: big a difference could Because you know Bill's fans up

1073
00:55:31,960 --> 00:55:34,160
Speaker 1: here in Buffalo, we know what Sammy Watkins can mean

1074
00:55:34,239 --> 00:55:36,520
Speaker 1: to an offense. How big a blow was that when

1075
00:55:36,520 --> 00:55:38,480
Speaker 1: he went down with a hamstring last week in the

1076
00:55:38,520 --> 00:55:42,200
Speaker 1: Raiders game. Maybe maybe they do win that game. If

1077
00:55:42,239 --> 00:55:45,080
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins doesn't go out so earlier, perhaps maybe it's

1078
00:55:45,080 --> 00:55:50,480
Speaker 1: at least closer. Yeah, I've always said, and people started

1079
00:55:50,520 --> 00:55:53,360
Speaker 1: to look at me crazy, especially with his how injury

1080
00:55:53,400 --> 00:55:55,960
Speaker 1: prone he's been. People looked at me crazy when I

1081
00:55:56,000 --> 00:55:58,960
Speaker 1: said he's the best wide receiver on our team. I

1082
00:55:59,040 --> 00:56:02,560
Speaker 1: still believe that. Now he's not the best playmaker. Syree

1083
00:56:02,640 --> 00:56:04,520
Speaker 1: Hill is the best playmaker, But as far as a

1084
00:56:04,640 --> 00:56:12,080
Speaker 1: complete wide receiver, physical after catch, blocking, route running, possession,

1085
00:56:12,400 --> 00:56:16,080
Speaker 1: also big playability, he's the best on this team. So

1086
00:56:16,120 --> 00:56:19,640
Speaker 1: he's gonna be sorely missed. And he has the most

1087
00:56:20,120 --> 00:56:23,480
Speaker 1: targets as well, So he's one of those guys that

1088
00:56:23,840 --> 00:56:26,360
Speaker 1: has garnered enough trust. And see if you know this

1089
00:56:26,520 --> 00:56:28,719
Speaker 1: like as a form of wide out as well, when

1090
00:56:28,719 --> 00:56:31,760
Speaker 1: you have the trust of a quarterback that is essential.

1091
00:56:32,520 --> 00:56:34,000
Speaker 1: You know you may not be able to be the

1092
00:56:34,040 --> 00:56:36,400
Speaker 1: fastest or run the best route or whatever. But your

1093
00:56:36,440 --> 00:56:39,080
Speaker 1: quarterback trust that you're gonna be where you're supposed to

1094
00:56:39,120 --> 00:56:41,400
Speaker 1: be when you're supposed to be there, and you're not

1095
00:56:41,440 --> 00:56:44,240
Speaker 1: going to allow anybody else to catch the ball if

1096
00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:47,520
Speaker 1: it's a contested throw. And that's what Sammy brought to

1097
00:56:47,560 --> 00:56:51,480
Speaker 1: this offense. So hopefully that hamstring injury heals soon and

1098
00:56:51,520 --> 00:56:53,919
Speaker 1: then he's back up to full speed because he's gonna

1099
00:56:53,920 --> 00:56:57,040
Speaker 1: be missed in this offense. And then are we expecting

1100
00:56:57,120 --> 00:56:59,600
Speaker 1: DeMarcus Robinson to slide in there? No one? They use

1101
00:56:59,680 --> 00:57:02,440
Speaker 1: me Hartman in different ways. You know. He kind of

1102
00:57:02,440 --> 00:57:05,120
Speaker 1: does a lot of the pre snap motion stuff and

1103
00:57:05,120 --> 00:57:08,800
Speaker 1: tries to stretch defense is horizontally. So are we should

1104
00:57:08,800 --> 00:57:11,560
Speaker 1: we expect to Marcus Robinson and Watkins spot and let

1105
00:57:11,560 --> 00:57:15,279
Speaker 1: Hartman still do what he does normally. I think it's

1106
00:57:15,280 --> 00:57:17,040
Speaker 1: gonna be a mixture. I don't think it's gonna be

1107
00:57:17,120 --> 00:57:20,560
Speaker 1: one guy that jumps in DeMarcus Robinson. He has become

1108
00:57:20,560 --> 00:57:23,760
Speaker 1: accustomed to stepping into that role. Last year, Tyreek Hill

1109
00:57:24,080 --> 00:57:26,240
Speaker 1: got hurt for a few games, d rob came in

1110
00:57:26,560 --> 00:57:29,240
Speaker 1: and played really well, especially against the Raiders. Last year.

1111
00:57:29,480 --> 00:57:33,120
Speaker 1: Mcole Hardman has shown it. He had big playability also,

1112
00:57:33,520 --> 00:57:36,520
Speaker 1: so it's gonna be a combination. But you're also at

1113
00:57:36,520 --> 00:57:40,040
Speaker 1: the factor in the tight end tight end position Deon

1114
00:57:40,200 --> 00:57:46,680
Speaker 1: Yelder or Kaiser or in addition to Travis Kelsey. There's

1115
00:57:46,720 --> 00:57:49,840
Speaker 1: gonna be a mixture, and so I don't think that

1116
00:57:49,920 --> 00:57:53,160
Speaker 1: there's any predictability with this offense tech. We saw Clyde

1117
00:57:53,240 --> 00:57:56,920
Speaker 1: Edward de Laire line up wide and stay in the

1118
00:57:57,040 --> 00:58:00,400
Speaker 1: wide receiver position and run Ralph from out wide as well,

1119
00:58:00,520 --> 00:58:03,480
Speaker 1: So it's not going to be a predictable situation. And

1120
00:58:03,520 --> 00:58:06,360
Speaker 1: I don't think it's gonna be just one clear cut

1121
00:58:06,360 --> 00:58:09,800
Speaker 1: guy that's gonna take the bulk of Sammy Watkins, missnap.

1122
00:58:10,280 --> 00:58:13,160
Speaker 1: How is there gonna be? We well knew it on

1123
00:58:13,280 --> 00:58:17,160
Speaker 1: draft day when they took Clyde Edwards Hilaire that he

1124
00:58:17,240 --> 00:58:18,960
Speaker 1: was going to be a force and it was exactly

1125
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:21,960
Speaker 1: the kind of piece that they were looking for in

1126
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:25,160
Speaker 1: the Chiefs offense. Are they How have they used him

1127
00:58:25,160 --> 00:58:27,240
Speaker 1: to this point and where do you think they're going

1128
00:58:27,280 --> 00:58:32,400
Speaker 1: to evolve him in the coming weeks. I think they've

1129
00:58:32,520 --> 00:58:35,600
Speaker 1: used them in great fashion, but they've allowed him to grow.

1130
00:58:35,720 --> 00:58:37,440
Speaker 1: If you go back to the beginning of the season

1131
00:58:37,720 --> 00:58:40,960
Speaker 1: first game against the Houston Texans, we didn't run any screen.

1132
00:58:41,560 --> 00:58:44,000
Speaker 1: We tried to run the ball downhill and you can

1133
00:58:44,040 --> 00:58:46,480
Speaker 1: tell that there was a concerted effort by Andy Reid

1134
00:58:46,520 --> 00:58:49,240
Speaker 1: and Eric the enemy. Hey, we didn't have any preseason.

1135
00:58:49,640 --> 00:58:52,680
Speaker 1: This running back has talent. Let's run the ball. Let's

1136
00:58:52,720 --> 00:58:54,840
Speaker 1: get on the ball in his hands. Because he has

1137
00:58:54,880 --> 00:58:57,680
Speaker 1: to be acclimated to the NFL game. He didn't have

1138
00:58:57,680 --> 00:59:00,480
Speaker 1: any preseason to do that. So they did that. It

1139
00:59:00,520 --> 00:59:03,560
Speaker 1: worked well early. Then you start to see them evolved

1140
00:59:03,920 --> 00:59:07,600
Speaker 1: with more screens in the last two couple of games,

1141
00:59:07,600 --> 00:59:10,880
Speaker 1: short routes out of the backfield, flitting him out wide

1142
00:59:11,160 --> 00:59:14,360
Speaker 1: and bringing a linebacker out there who doesn't want to

1143
00:59:14,400 --> 00:59:17,920
Speaker 1: play in that much space at the numbers, man to

1144
00:59:18,040 --> 00:59:23,160
Speaker 1: man against a running back. So creativity has been the key.

1145
00:59:23,240 --> 00:59:26,120
Speaker 1: And if you look at throughout history, even going back

1146
00:59:26,120 --> 00:59:29,840
Speaker 1: to Andy Reid's time in Philadelphia, he's always liked the

1147
00:59:29,880 --> 00:59:32,720
Speaker 1: one two punch. He's always liked the versatile running back,

1148
00:59:33,360 --> 00:59:37,600
Speaker 1: even from Kareem Hunt here to Damian Williams to Clyde

1149
00:59:37,680 --> 00:59:42,080
Speaker 1: Edwards a Layer, to Daryl Williams their Spencer Wear. Every

1150
00:59:42,160 --> 00:59:44,760
Speaker 1: running back that's been here, none of them have fit

1151
00:59:44,960 --> 00:59:48,840
Speaker 1: one type of bulldozing type of running back. They've all

1152
00:59:48,920 --> 00:59:52,680
Speaker 1: been very versatile, so Clyde Edwards Delaire fits into that mold.

1153
00:59:52,920 --> 00:59:55,040
Speaker 1: But I think they've done it in a smart fashion

1154
00:59:55,080 --> 00:59:58,360
Speaker 1: where they've allowed him to kind of grow into roles

1155
00:59:58,800 --> 01:00:02,200
Speaker 1: and not just be a guy that's gonna be one dimensional.

1156
01:00:02,560 --> 01:00:05,480
Speaker 1: And then just with the Chiefs defense, Dane and like

1157
01:00:05,640 --> 01:00:09,680
Speaker 1: last week, Derek Carr was able to take some deep shots.

1158
01:00:10,040 --> 01:00:12,600
Speaker 1: They were able to keep Frank Clark and Chris Jones

1159
01:00:12,680 --> 01:00:14,960
Speaker 1: off of car for the most part. He was able

1160
01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:18,320
Speaker 1: to step into a lot of those throws. What did

1161
01:00:18,360 --> 01:00:21,560
Speaker 1: the Raiders do there that kind of held Jones and

1162
01:00:21,640 --> 01:00:26,080
Speaker 1: Clark in check for the most part. Just great pass protection.

1163
01:00:26,160 --> 01:00:27,960
Speaker 1: I think it was probably one of the top games

1164
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:30,440
Speaker 1: that we've seen from the Raiders that stars pass pro

1165
01:00:31,120 --> 01:00:33,439
Speaker 1: and at least the last couple of years that I've

1166
01:00:33,440 --> 01:00:36,440
Speaker 1: watched them. They just did a nice job. When we

1167
01:00:36,520 --> 01:00:38,880
Speaker 1: called blitzes, they were able to pick them up. Good

1168
01:00:38,880 --> 01:00:42,720
Speaker 1: communication up front, and they were in our stadium with

1169
01:00:42,880 --> 01:00:46,800
Speaker 1: seventeen thousand spans, so it was noisy, but they were

1170
01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:50,120
Speaker 1: able to communicate in really good fashion and we just

1171
01:00:50,160 --> 01:00:52,440
Speaker 1: did not get hit on. Derek Carr. We didn't make

1172
01:00:52,520 --> 01:00:55,919
Speaker 1: him uncomfortable in the pocket at all. I counted less

1173
01:00:55,920 --> 01:00:59,720
Speaker 1: than five hits on Derek Carr in that game. And

1174
01:01:00,280 --> 01:01:02,720
Speaker 1: when you listen to Frank Clark during the week, you

1175
01:01:02,840 --> 01:01:05,919
Speaker 1: listen to Tyron Matthew during the week, Chris Jones, those

1176
01:01:05,960 --> 01:01:09,080
Speaker 1: guys recognize that they left some plays on the field

1177
01:01:09,080 --> 01:01:13,200
Speaker 1: and they should have been more consistent and been better

1178
01:01:13,280 --> 01:01:16,080
Speaker 1: at getting to the quarterback and not allowing those big

1179
01:01:16,120 --> 01:01:19,919
Speaker 1: plays over the top, because with blitz, you leave those

1180
01:01:19,960 --> 01:01:23,560
Speaker 1: guys severely on an island at the cornerback position in safety,

1181
01:01:23,880 --> 01:01:26,080
Speaker 1: and if you can't get home and get a hit

1182
01:01:26,120 --> 01:01:28,520
Speaker 1: on the quarterback or at least flush him out of

1183
01:01:28,520 --> 01:01:30,920
Speaker 1: the pocket, you make it a long day for your

1184
01:01:30,920 --> 01:01:34,080
Speaker 1: defensive back. And that's what the Raiders were able to accomplish.

1185
01:01:34,240 --> 01:01:37,240
Speaker 1: Give us a little assessment of the Raiders. The Chiefs,

1186
01:01:37,240 --> 01:01:40,760
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Chiefs run defense and then they I think

1187
01:01:40,760 --> 01:01:42,960
Speaker 1: they must get some benefit from the fact that their

1188
01:01:42,960 --> 01:01:46,480
Speaker 1: offense is so prolific. Teams just can't afford to hand

1189
01:01:46,520 --> 01:01:48,440
Speaker 1: the football off when they get down by a score.

1190
01:01:48,480 --> 01:01:51,120
Speaker 1: Here to score, there are two scores, because then you

1191
01:01:51,200 --> 01:01:54,400
Speaker 1: get into a math problem that you can't find the

1192
01:01:54,480 --> 01:01:58,439
Speaker 1: solution to right. So, is there run defense just an

1193
01:01:58,440 --> 01:02:00,760
Speaker 1: afterthought because they kind of so much faith in the

1194
01:02:00,800 --> 01:02:03,120
Speaker 1: fact they're going to score points. What's your assessment of

1195
01:02:03,160 --> 01:02:06,920
Speaker 1: those guys up front. No, those guys are focused on

1196
01:02:06,920 --> 01:02:10,800
Speaker 1: stopping the run. And here's why, because they believe that

1197
01:02:10,920 --> 01:02:13,800
Speaker 1: the best defense that any team can come in and

1198
01:02:13,840 --> 01:02:18,000
Speaker 1: combat our offense is an offensive run game was it

1199
01:02:18,040 --> 01:02:22,240
Speaker 1: was showed last year. They lost four of six games

1200
01:02:22,400 --> 01:02:25,120
Speaker 1: in the middle of the season, and part of it

1201
01:02:25,240 --> 01:02:27,880
Speaker 1: was they allowed the Colts to come in and run

1202
01:02:27,920 --> 01:02:31,800
Speaker 1: the ball very effectively. Carlo Tide and the Houston Texans

1203
01:02:31,840 --> 01:02:34,720
Speaker 1: came in and ran the ball very effectively. They went

1204
01:02:34,720 --> 01:02:38,520
Speaker 1: down to Tennessee last year and lost Derrick Henry rand

1205
01:02:38,520 --> 01:02:41,920
Speaker 1: the ball very effectively. So these guys, they understand that

1206
01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:45,240
Speaker 1: other teams are going to try to be physical, try

1207
01:02:45,280 --> 01:02:47,760
Speaker 1: to establish the line of scrimmage, and to try to

1208
01:02:47,840 --> 01:02:49,800
Speaker 1: run the ball so they can take a lot of

1209
01:02:49,800 --> 01:02:54,560
Speaker 1: time off the cloth. Last week, the Raiders Josh Jacob's

1210
01:02:54,680 --> 01:02:58,720
Speaker 1: rand pool twenty three carries for seventy seven yards doesn't

1211
01:02:58,760 --> 01:03:02,640
Speaker 1: seem like an eye popping sat but they were able

1212
01:03:02,680 --> 01:03:05,439
Speaker 1: to keep the ball on their side. They had two

1213
01:03:05,480 --> 01:03:09,360
Speaker 1: consecutive scoring drives where one took over eight minutes and

1214
01:03:09,440 --> 01:03:12,800
Speaker 1: another one took over five minutes, so almost a quarter

1215
01:03:13,200 --> 01:03:15,560
Speaker 1: of the game. In the second half of that game

1216
01:03:16,000 --> 01:03:18,080
Speaker 1: when we needed to have the ball on our side,

1217
01:03:18,160 --> 01:03:20,560
Speaker 1: we needed to kind of get out rhythm on offense.

1218
01:03:20,840 --> 01:03:24,880
Speaker 1: The Raiders were very successful in running the ball against them,

1219
01:03:25,160 --> 01:03:29,320
Speaker 1: So we understand the players understand. They speak about it.

1220
01:03:29,360 --> 01:03:32,600
Speaker 1: Coach Spag talked about it as well. Run game and

1221
01:03:32,720 --> 01:03:36,760
Speaker 1: run stoppage is optimum for the success of this defense,

1222
01:03:36,840 --> 01:03:39,400
Speaker 1: forcing team to be one dimensional, and the teams that

1223
01:03:39,440 --> 01:03:42,040
Speaker 1: have had some success against the Chiefs have been the

1224
01:03:42,040 --> 01:03:44,600
Speaker 1: teams that have run the ball effectively. Yeah, she's only

1225
01:03:44,640 --> 01:03:47,000
Speaker 1: scored eight points a second half last week. It's not

1226
01:03:47,120 --> 01:03:50,920
Speaker 1: much time. Are you anticipating, then, Danan, that the Bills

1227
01:03:50,920 --> 01:03:53,080
Speaker 1: are at least gonna try to do that. Zach Moss,

1228
01:03:53,080 --> 01:03:55,160
Speaker 1: their rookie back, is back in the lineup to team

1229
01:03:55,160 --> 01:03:59,680
Speaker 1: with Devin Singletary back from a toe injury tonight. I

1230
01:03:59,680 --> 01:04:01,800
Speaker 1: don't know if you've seen this, but the Bills are

1231
01:04:01,800 --> 01:04:03,680
Speaker 1: actually throwing the ball more than the Chiefs are, Like

1232
01:04:03,760 --> 01:04:07,320
Speaker 1: sixty two and a half percent pass to the chief

1233
01:04:07,400 --> 01:04:09,680
Speaker 1: sixty percent pass, so throwing it even a little bit

1234
01:04:09,680 --> 01:04:12,080
Speaker 1: more than the Chiefs are right now. I'm wondering if

1235
01:04:12,160 --> 01:04:15,200
Speaker 1: that drifts back ever so slightly and they try to

1236
01:04:15,280 --> 01:04:19,120
Speaker 1: run the ball as you suggest, Are you anticipating that well?

1237
01:04:19,160 --> 01:04:21,120
Speaker 1: I think so. I think it'd be a smart approach

1238
01:04:21,120 --> 01:04:23,040
Speaker 1: for any team to come in, try to run the

1239
01:04:23,040 --> 01:04:26,080
Speaker 1: ball and then try to run play action, especially when

1240
01:04:26,080 --> 01:04:29,400
Speaker 1: you have an athletic, very strong arm quarterback like Josh Allen.

1241
01:04:29,720 --> 01:04:32,480
Speaker 1: I mean to me, it's not rocket science. You can

1242
01:04:32,560 --> 01:04:35,040
Speaker 1: run the ball downhill and then you can set up

1243
01:04:35,080 --> 01:04:37,760
Speaker 1: the pass with play action. And you have a team

1244
01:04:37,800 --> 01:04:39,600
Speaker 1: that likes to play man a man and you have

1245
01:04:39,760 --> 01:04:44,400
Speaker 1: targets down the field like Stefon Digg and Cole Beasley

1246
01:04:44,400 --> 01:04:47,880
Speaker 1: in the slot, John Brown if he's healthy and he's back,

1247
01:04:48,360 --> 01:04:52,040
Speaker 1: and you can run some rub routes, you can run

1248
01:04:52,160 --> 01:04:55,280
Speaker 1: some wheel routes and try to take the top off

1249
01:04:55,280 --> 01:04:57,800
Speaker 1: of defenses or at least expose them a little bit.

1250
01:04:58,640 --> 01:05:01,880
Speaker 1: That would be definitely a recipe to put you in

1251
01:05:01,880 --> 01:05:05,200
Speaker 1: the best position for success. So the Chiefs, the linebackers

1252
01:05:05,240 --> 01:05:07,880
Speaker 1: have to be fundamentally sound. They have to be able

1253
01:05:07,880 --> 01:05:11,520
Speaker 1: to be willing to stop the run but not be

1254
01:05:11,640 --> 01:05:14,200
Speaker 1: fooled so much on the run that they give up

1255
01:05:14,240 --> 01:05:19,000
Speaker 1: those intermediate passes over the middle. That's where last week

1256
01:05:19,040 --> 01:05:21,440
Speaker 1: we saw against the Raiders where they were somewhat successful

1257
01:05:21,440 --> 01:05:25,240
Speaker 1: with their tight end running crossing route. So it's a

1258
01:05:25,400 --> 01:05:27,640
Speaker 1: it's a I set a whole lot. It's almost like

1259
01:05:27,680 --> 01:05:30,120
Speaker 1: the defense has to do everything, but at the same

1260
01:05:30,160 --> 01:05:32,200
Speaker 1: time they have to focus on something. And I think

1261
01:05:32,240 --> 01:05:34,600
Speaker 1: that's going to be the run game the last one

1262
01:05:34,680 --> 01:05:38,760
Speaker 1: for me, Dan. And it seems like a hallmark of

1263
01:05:38,840 --> 01:05:40,680
Speaker 1: some of these teams that are really, really good. They

1264
01:05:40,680 --> 01:05:42,680
Speaker 1: all seem to have this tight end that is a

1265
01:05:42,680 --> 01:05:45,320
Speaker 1: real matchup problem. Kelsey has been that for the Chiefs.

1266
01:05:45,400 --> 01:05:48,560
Speaker 1: He's he's a big wide receiver. He's you know, he's

1267
01:05:48,600 --> 01:05:50,680
Speaker 1: a quality guy. I mean, he's red zone target, he's

1268
01:05:50,680 --> 01:05:52,600
Speaker 1: an in the field target, he's a deep threat target.

1269
01:05:52,640 --> 01:05:55,920
Speaker 1: He's a possession target. What have you seen from teams

1270
01:05:55,920 --> 01:05:57,640
Speaker 1: who come in to play the Chiefs? What is the

1271
01:05:58,240 --> 01:05:59,919
Speaker 1: what are the teams do to try and take Kelly

1272
01:06:00,040 --> 01:06:02,000
Speaker 1: see away? Given the fact that Chiefs have so many

1273
01:06:02,000 --> 01:06:07,480
Speaker 1: other weapons, what's the go to move for opposing defenses? Yeah,

1274
01:06:07,800 --> 01:06:10,880
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey is an automatic mismatch And I know we'd

1275
01:06:10,880 --> 01:06:13,560
Speaker 1: like to throw that around when we've seen Gronkowski in

1276
01:06:13,560 --> 01:06:16,720
Speaker 1: the past, and you see what Darren Waller is doing

1277
01:06:16,760 --> 01:06:20,640
Speaker 1: with the Raiders. But he is truly an automatic mismatch

1278
01:06:20,680 --> 01:06:23,080
Speaker 1: because you can line him up out wide, and you

1279
01:06:23,120 --> 01:06:25,640
Speaker 1: can line him up in sight, run in motion, and

1280
01:06:25,880 --> 01:06:29,440
Speaker 1: he's taken some direct snacks as well. So he's very personal.

1281
01:06:29,800 --> 01:06:33,040
Speaker 1: But what I've seen when teams have been successful against him,

1282
01:06:33,040 --> 01:06:35,240
Speaker 1: it's been because they banged him at the line of

1283
01:06:35,240 --> 01:06:38,720
Speaker 1: scrimmage and they used linebackers at the line of scrimmage

1284
01:06:38,760 --> 01:06:43,040
Speaker 1: and then a safety to bracket him. And the New

1285
01:06:43,040 --> 01:06:47,400
Speaker 1: England Patriots were pretty pretty solid against Travis Kelsey. And

1286
01:06:47,440 --> 01:06:51,120
Speaker 1: you can look through the matchup in recent years against

1287
01:06:51,200 --> 01:06:54,800
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots and Travis Kelsey hasn't had his

1288
01:06:55,000 --> 01:06:57,920
Speaker 1: best days most of the time because they made a

1289
01:06:57,960 --> 01:07:01,280
Speaker 1: considered effort to try to stop him. Now, how you

1290
01:07:01,360 --> 01:07:04,080
Speaker 1: loosen that up is that you're able to split out

1291
01:07:04,280 --> 01:07:08,240
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey a little bit more from the interior, which

1292
01:07:08,320 --> 01:07:14,360
Speaker 1: makes it a defense very very tough for defense. We

1293
01:07:14,400 --> 01:07:24,240
Speaker 1: went for a minute, you go finish up about Kelsey. Yeah, so, yeah,

1294
01:07:24,320 --> 01:07:26,560
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey. I think it's versatile if you can split

1295
01:07:26,680 --> 01:07:30,440
Speaker 1: him out. It makes defense is very tough to to defend,

1296
01:07:30,800 --> 01:07:34,840
Speaker 1: specifically in a combo coverage. So he has that versatility

1297
01:07:34,880 --> 01:07:38,280
Speaker 1: and Andy and Eric the enemy know how to utilize him. Uh.

1298
01:07:38,400 --> 01:07:42,080
Speaker 1: He runs really good crossing rounds, and he's excellent with

1299
01:07:42,240 --> 01:07:45,320
Speaker 1: yards after catch. And that's where I think you know

1300
01:07:45,440 --> 01:07:49,600
Speaker 1: he can devastate another defense is by after he catches

1301
01:07:49,640 --> 01:07:52,760
Speaker 1: the ball, getting yards after the catch. He's been really

1302
01:07:52,760 --> 01:07:55,280
Speaker 1: really good at that throughout his whole career. And you

1303
01:07:55,400 --> 01:07:59,720
Speaker 1: and you got hide back there in your safety position. Uh.

1304
01:08:00,040 --> 01:08:04,160
Speaker 1: Former college corner who is physical enough to play safety.

1305
01:08:04,360 --> 01:08:07,840
Speaker 1: He's a former Hawkeye, so I know him obviously, and

1306
01:08:08,640 --> 01:08:12,560
Speaker 1: he can be a guy that could match up well

1307
01:08:13,000 --> 01:08:15,520
Speaker 1: against Travis Kelsey. But he's probably going to need some

1308
01:08:15,600 --> 01:08:18,519
Speaker 1: help just like everyone else. All Right, Dana, listen, thanks

1309
01:08:18,520 --> 01:08:20,439
Speaker 1: for the insight on the chief side of the ledger here.

1310
01:08:20,520 --> 01:08:22,840
Speaker 1: Enjoy this game tonight, all right, guys, hey man, take care.

1311
01:08:23,600 --> 01:08:25,559
Speaker 1: I enjoy the game as well. Guy, Thanks for having me.

1312
01:08:26,000 --> 01:08:28,360
Speaker 1: Dan and Hughes from the Chiefs Radio Network form a

1313
01:08:28,400 --> 01:08:30,360
Speaker 1: wide receiver for them. In the mid to late nineties,

1314
01:08:30,680 --> 01:08:32,840
Speaker 1: a lot of special teams play by him. He was

1315
01:08:32,840 --> 01:08:34,960
Speaker 1: like a fourth or fifth wide out. I want to say,

1316
01:08:34,960 --> 01:08:37,000
Speaker 1: on those rosters back and the mid to late nineties,

1317
01:08:37,120 --> 01:08:40,120
Speaker 1: I saw a little bit of him during that. Yeah, yeah,

1318
01:08:40,120 --> 01:08:43,599
Speaker 1: that's right, But yeah, he feels the same. It's interesting

1319
01:08:43,600 --> 01:08:47,200
Speaker 1: that he feels the same about teams needing to incorporate

1320
01:08:47,280 --> 01:08:50,519
Speaker 1: just enough of a running game to keep this Chiefs

1321
01:08:50,560 --> 01:08:53,200
Speaker 1: defense honest. And I hope the Bills try to employ

1322
01:08:53,240 --> 01:08:55,880
Speaker 1: that to some degree tonight, not to the point where

1323
01:08:55,880 --> 01:08:58,720
Speaker 1: it takes away from their offensive identity, but just enough

1324
01:08:58,760 --> 01:09:01,519
Speaker 1: to keep the Chiefs thinking about it where they're not

1325
01:09:01,560 --> 01:09:03,960
Speaker 1: just like, let's go get Josh Allen, you know what

1326
01:09:03,960 --> 01:09:06,920
Speaker 1: I mean. So hopefully that happens, and with Zach Moss

1327
01:09:06,960 --> 01:09:09,160
Speaker 1: back in the lineup, I would think the odds are

1328
01:09:09,160 --> 01:09:13,439
Speaker 1: pretty good that it does happen. You know, to what degree,

1329
01:09:13,439 --> 01:09:15,280
Speaker 1: We'll just have to wait and see, because obviously time

1330
01:09:15,280 --> 01:09:18,000
Speaker 1: and score comes into play with that also that impacts

1331
01:09:18,000 --> 01:09:20,840
Speaker 1: your play calling. But I think from the outset, if

1332
01:09:20,920 --> 01:09:23,960
Speaker 1: the playing field is relatively even in terms of the scoreboard,

1333
01:09:24,720 --> 01:09:26,360
Speaker 1: I think we could see a little bit more of it,

1334
01:09:26,439 --> 01:09:28,679
Speaker 1: not to any great degree, but I think a little

1335
01:09:28,680 --> 01:09:30,840
Speaker 1: bit more just to try to hold haunt to the

1336
01:09:30,880 --> 01:09:32,519
Speaker 1: ball as long. I mean, if you think about what

1337
01:09:32,560 --> 01:09:34,800
Speaker 1: the Raiders did last week, Steve, I mean the Chiefs

1338
01:09:34,840 --> 01:09:37,280
Speaker 1: barely hit the football. They didn't score any points in

1339
01:09:37,320 --> 01:09:40,519
Speaker 1: the third quarter. It's had one possession, one possession. The

1340
01:09:40,640 --> 01:09:43,920
Speaker 1: Chiefs are ranked thirty first in run defense. They give

1341
01:09:44,000 --> 01:09:46,320
Speaker 1: up one hundred and almost one hundred and sixty yards

1342
01:09:46,320 --> 01:09:50,640
Speaker 1: a game and five point two per rush. If the

1343
01:09:50,680 --> 01:09:52,880
Speaker 1: Bills can do that, just do that. If that's their

1344
01:09:52,920 --> 01:09:54,960
Speaker 1: average and the Bills can rush for one hundred and

1345
01:09:55,000 --> 01:09:58,760
Speaker 1: fifty seven yards at five point rush, the Bills will

1346
01:09:58,760 --> 01:10:03,360
Speaker 1: win a game. It should mean less opportunity for Patrick

1347
01:10:03,400 --> 01:10:06,920
Speaker 1: Mahomes and less opportunity for him should translate into less

1348
01:10:06,960 --> 01:10:09,320
Speaker 1: points eight oh three oh five fifty. We gotta get

1349
01:10:09,320 --> 01:10:11,320
Speaker 1: to some people that I've been waiting patiently on hold.

1350
01:10:11,360 --> 01:10:14,200
Speaker 1: Here we go to Brian and Chautauqua. Brian, you're on

1351
01:10:14,200 --> 01:10:15,920
Speaker 1: one Bill's Live. Thanks for waiting for us. What do

1352
01:10:15,920 --> 01:10:21,880
Speaker 1: you have? Hey? Absolutely, thanks guys. Um. First of all,

1353
01:10:22,400 --> 01:10:28,160
Speaker 1: Steve love watching you guys in the nineties and especially

1354
01:10:28,760 --> 01:10:31,479
Speaker 1: you know ninety five ninety six season where you're making

1355
01:10:31,479 --> 01:10:35,840
Speaker 1: all those great catches. And also just like to say

1356
01:10:35,920 --> 01:10:38,639
Speaker 1: that for the age of the Bill saying you talk

1357
01:10:38,680 --> 01:10:42,759
Speaker 1: about that earlier. I'm thirty five years old. I remember

1358
01:10:42,800 --> 01:10:47,519
Speaker 1: where I was when Scott Nor missed that kick and

1359
01:10:47,600 --> 01:10:50,360
Speaker 1: where my family was at the same time too, So

1360
01:10:51,479 --> 01:10:53,479
Speaker 1: you know, just to put that in perspructive and I

1361
01:10:54,400 --> 01:10:59,479
Speaker 1: really think, you know, getting the healthy wide receiver quarterback

1362
01:10:59,520 --> 01:11:06,240
Speaker 1: tonight hopefully and getting the defense back in in our rhythm,

1363
01:11:06,720 --> 01:11:09,519
Speaker 1: I think eventually it's going to come back into into place.

1364
01:11:10,080 --> 01:11:14,240
Speaker 1: Don't we really have a good shot to win this game. So, um,

1365
01:11:14,360 --> 01:11:16,479
Speaker 1: that's all I got. Thanks a lot, guys, All right,

1366
01:11:16,479 --> 01:11:19,800
Speaker 1: thanks Brian. Yeah, I mean John Brown is still questionable

1367
01:11:20,520 --> 01:11:22,920
Speaker 1: for tonight's game. I'm a little concerned. No, when he

1368
01:11:23,000 --> 01:11:28,840
Speaker 1: was limited on Saturday before getting the questionable designation and

1369
01:11:28,920 --> 01:11:32,000
Speaker 1: it's a knee injury. It was a calf injury going

1370
01:11:32,040 --> 01:11:34,559
Speaker 1: into the Titans game and he didn't play. Then he

1371
01:11:34,600 --> 01:11:37,679
Speaker 1: came back on the practice field. He was limited last

1372
01:11:37,720 --> 01:11:40,720
Speaker 1: week and it was described as a knee injury and

1373
01:11:40,720 --> 01:11:42,559
Speaker 1: he was wearing a knee brace on the practice field

1374
01:11:42,600 --> 01:11:47,559
Speaker 1: and all of that. So it's, uh, it's gonna be

1375
01:11:47,600 --> 01:11:51,960
Speaker 1: interesting to see, I think, against all the weapons that

1376
01:11:52,040 --> 01:11:54,000
Speaker 1: the Chiefs have on offense, if you have John Brown

1377
01:11:54,040 --> 01:11:57,200
Speaker 1: in your lineup, it's it's a big, big help. Yeah,

1378
01:11:57,240 --> 01:11:59,599
Speaker 1: we're starting to get some inklings of you know, some

1379
01:11:59,640 --> 01:12:02,639
Speaker 1: things are gonna be different tonight. It's being reported by

1380
01:12:02,680 --> 01:12:07,120
Speaker 1: Tom Pella Sero of NFL Network that Trent Murphy and

1381
01:12:07,200 --> 01:12:12,160
Speaker 1: Harrison Phillips may be healthy scratches tonight in an effort

1382
01:12:12,200 --> 01:12:16,360
Speaker 1: to shake things up on the defensive line. That'll be

1383
01:12:16,400 --> 01:12:20,000
Speaker 1: an interesting development. Uh, nobody's anticipated that. I hadn't thought

1384
01:12:20,000 --> 01:12:23,479
Speaker 1: about that. Well, remember what Leslie Frasier said last Monday,

1385
01:12:23,920 --> 01:12:26,320
Speaker 1: up the rotation. You talked about tightening up the rotation

1386
01:12:26,400 --> 01:12:30,000
Speaker 1: and putting the best pass rushers on the field more often. Now,

1387
01:12:30,160 --> 01:12:32,360
Speaker 1: if they do that and those two guys are in

1388
01:12:32,400 --> 01:12:37,080
Speaker 1: fact healthy scratches, now you're only going with seven active,

1389
01:12:37,920 --> 01:12:42,080
Speaker 1: which you know they've been going with nine active probably

1390
01:12:42,680 --> 01:12:44,800
Speaker 1: three of the last four games. There was one game

1391
01:12:44,800 --> 01:12:47,320
Speaker 1: in there where they only went eight active defensive linemen.

1392
01:12:47,680 --> 01:12:51,559
Speaker 1: But they're going with seven, and that would be noticeably tightening,

1393
01:12:52,479 --> 01:12:55,000
Speaker 1: tightening it up in terms of the rotation you're gonna go,

1394
01:12:55,240 --> 01:12:58,719
Speaker 1: you know, you're gonna go very young. I mean Darryl Johnson,

1395
01:12:58,760 --> 01:13:01,639
Speaker 1: A j Epenesa, and At Oliver all be active and up.

1396
01:13:02,040 --> 01:13:05,320
Speaker 1: Those are three of the youngest guys on the team. Yeah,

1397
01:13:05,360 --> 01:13:09,559
Speaker 1: they're gonna get only three defensive tackles on the field

1398
01:13:09,840 --> 01:13:14,120
Speaker 1: or available, Vernon Butler, Quentin Jefferson and At Oliver of course,

1399
01:13:14,120 --> 01:13:18,160
Speaker 1: and then you got Addison Hughes, Darryl Johnson, a J. F. Panessa.

1400
01:13:18,240 --> 01:13:22,240
Speaker 1: That's that's interesting because you know, they like Harrison Phillips,

1401
01:13:22,280 --> 01:13:23,880
Speaker 1: they like what he brings to the table and all that,

1402
01:13:23,960 --> 01:13:26,360
Speaker 1: but certainly he's coming off an acl he maybe and

1403
01:13:26,400 --> 01:13:29,639
Speaker 1: they've said that he hasn't been one hundred percent back yet.

1404
01:13:29,640 --> 01:13:34,479
Speaker 1: Trent Murphy maybe, don't know. Maybe they don't like the

1405
01:13:34,479 --> 01:13:36,280
Speaker 1: way he set the edge of the defense or whatever.

1406
01:13:36,400 --> 01:13:40,479
Speaker 1: But certainly this is to to if those guys are

1407
01:13:40,600 --> 01:13:45,559
Speaker 1: healthy scratches. That says something about their commitment to getting

1408
01:13:45,600 --> 01:13:48,320
Speaker 1: guys on who are producing, and we'll see what kind

1409
01:13:48,320 --> 01:13:51,320
Speaker 1: of message that sends. And that also affords you two

1410
01:13:51,479 --> 01:13:56,000
Speaker 1: more open spots for your active game day roster. Where

1411
01:13:56,040 --> 01:13:59,120
Speaker 1: do they Where do they use those two extra spots?

1412
01:13:59,400 --> 01:14:03,759
Speaker 1: Do they three running backs tonight? Do you address Zach Moss,

1413
01:14:03,800 --> 01:14:06,040
Speaker 1: t J. Eldon? Well, they already got Taiwan Jones. Do

1414
01:14:06,040 --> 01:14:08,719
Speaker 1: you address four um? Do you have t J. Eldon,

1415
01:14:08,840 --> 01:14:11,920
Speaker 1: Zach Moss Devin Singletary and Taiwan Jones up? Do you

1416
01:14:12,000 --> 01:14:14,400
Speaker 1: have four tight ends? Is Lee Smith active? Because you

1417
01:14:14,400 --> 01:14:16,360
Speaker 1: want to run the ball more? You know, these are

1418
01:14:16,439 --> 01:14:19,320
Speaker 1: where you know you have to make those game dates

1419
01:14:19,320 --> 01:14:21,320
Speaker 1: and Knoxes down? So Lee Smith maybe up and he'll

1420
01:14:21,320 --> 01:14:24,080
Speaker 1: be up anyway, right, he's starting to talk to me.

1421
01:14:24,160 --> 01:14:26,800
Speaker 1: It starts to but you got Reggie Gilliam too, so yeah,

1422
01:14:26,800 --> 01:14:32,400
Speaker 1: and it starts to also point towards dbs that stay up, uh,

1423
01:14:32,920 --> 01:14:36,000
Speaker 1: or maybe an extra dB, maybe Davis White plays. Does

1424
01:14:36,000 --> 01:14:38,960
Speaker 1: he get through the whole game exactly? All of that

1425
01:14:39,080 --> 01:14:41,760
Speaker 1: stuff becomes in And these are all considerations that are

1426
01:14:41,760 --> 01:14:43,840
Speaker 1: behind the scenes we have no idea about. But you're right,

1427
01:14:43,920 --> 01:14:47,479
Speaker 1: if you're gonna if those guys are healthy scratches, who's not? Yeah,

1428
01:14:47,479 --> 01:14:50,280
Speaker 1: you know, so interesting to see what the roster juggling

1429
01:14:50,280 --> 01:14:54,480
Speaker 1: looks like when the inactives come out, uh, later this afternoon,

1430
01:14:54,640 --> 01:14:59,080
Speaker 1: probably around three thirty ish, is uh when the inactives

1431
01:14:59,080 --> 01:15:01,000
Speaker 1: will come out. So he'll be interes to see what

1432
01:15:01,120 --> 01:15:03,920
Speaker 1: the ultimate decisions are as to who is up. Knowing

1433
01:15:03,960 --> 01:15:07,519
Speaker 1: this Tom Pellisero report just came down again if in

1434
01:15:07,560 --> 01:15:10,439
Speaker 1: case you missed it. He was saying a surprise. These

1435
01:15:10,439 --> 01:15:13,800
Speaker 1: are Tom Pellisero's words on twitter. Bill's defensive van Trean

1436
01:15:13,840 --> 01:15:16,400
Speaker 1: Murphy and defensive tackle Harrison Phillips expected to be healthy

1437
01:15:16,439 --> 01:15:21,479
Speaker 1: scratches against the Chiefs, according to sources. So it runs

1438
01:15:21,479 --> 01:15:24,680
Speaker 1: in line with some of what coach Fraser said last

1439
01:15:24,720 --> 01:15:27,280
Speaker 1: week when he addressed the media, which was, you know,

1440
01:15:27,320 --> 01:15:29,600
Speaker 1: we were having meetings as a defensive staff as to

1441
01:15:29,680 --> 01:15:32,760
Speaker 1: who we feel our best pass rushers are. And then

1442
01:15:32,800 --> 01:15:37,800
Speaker 1: we talked about perhaps reducing the level of rotation on

1443
01:15:37,840 --> 01:15:40,640
Speaker 1: the defensive line because it's been a heavy rotation. I

1444
01:15:40,680 --> 01:15:44,080
Speaker 1: think very few and far between have there been players

1445
01:15:44,080 --> 01:15:47,040
Speaker 1: getting more than sixty two percent of the snaps. Jerry

1446
01:15:47,120 --> 01:15:49,880
Speaker 1: Hughes Mario Addison had been getting probably about sixty two

1447
01:15:49,880 --> 01:15:51,920
Speaker 1: percent of the snaps per week, and that's at the

1448
01:15:52,000 --> 01:15:56,559
Speaker 1: high end. So that might go higher tonight with two

1449
01:15:56,560 --> 01:15:58,280
Speaker 1: fewer guys in the rotation. All right, we have to

1450
01:15:58,280 --> 01:16:00,200
Speaker 1: take a break, but when we come back, more your

1451
01:16:00,200 --> 01:16:02,439
Speaker 1: phone calls at eight oh three, oh five fifty and

1452
01:16:02,600 --> 01:16:05,759
Speaker 1: more of your comments on the tweet sheet when we return.

1453
01:16:05,840 --> 01:16:07,920
Speaker 1: Here on One Bills Live presented by Collid to Health

1454
01:16:08,160 --> 01:16:24,760
Speaker 1: is Buffalo Bill's Radio. It's not going to define who

1455
01:16:24,760 --> 01:16:26,280
Speaker 1: we are. You gonna win one game is not going

1456
01:16:26,320 --> 01:16:28,360
Speaker 1: to define we are were four on one. We got

1457
01:16:28,360 --> 01:16:30,599
Speaker 1: the defending Super Bowl champs coming into our house next week,

1458
01:16:30,640 --> 01:16:32,280
Speaker 1: and we got to defend our dirt and find a

1459
01:16:32,320 --> 01:16:34,240
Speaker 1: way to put our best foot forward and try to

1460
01:16:34,240 --> 01:16:39,519
Speaker 1: find a wind still with it now fires down in

1461
01:16:39,600 --> 01:16:47,880
Speaker 1: the end Gon, it is cock cuck touchdown Buffalo, take

1462
01:16:47,960 --> 01:16:49,679
Speaker 1: a look down for you kind of man white overhen

01:16:49,680 --> 01:16:56,519
Speaker 1: They just caught touchdown Gabriel David's touchdown Buffalo, which she

1464
01:16:56,760 --> 01:16:58,439
Speaker 1: is right fires that way. He's got a man Derek

Speaker 1: Cole basically make waw and he is in the caps

1466
01:17:01,280 --> 01:17:20,759
Speaker 1: down all right again, everybody hyped up for the game,

1467
01:17:20,840 --> 01:17:23,760
Speaker 1: which is about what are we at here? Three eight

1468
01:17:23,840 --> 01:17:25,800
Speaker 1: and a half hours away, a little bit less than

1469
01:17:25,840 --> 01:17:29,640
Speaker 1: that before the five o'clock kick off, two hours from inactives,

1470
01:17:29,840 --> 01:17:32,880
Speaker 1: two hours from inactives, and Tom Pello Sero from NFL

1471
01:17:32,960 --> 01:17:35,719
Speaker 1: Network already reporting that a couple of healthy scratches tonight

1472
01:17:36,120 --> 01:17:40,519
Speaker 1: will be defensive end Trent Murphy and defensive tackle Harrison Phillips.

1473
01:17:40,920 --> 01:17:45,120
Speaker 1: As Uh. The rotation tightens a bit on that defensive line,

1474
01:17:45,120 --> 01:17:48,000
Speaker 1: which coach Fraser hinted at last week when he addressed

1475
01:17:48,000 --> 01:17:51,280
Speaker 1: the media, so probably getting a little few more details

1476
01:17:51,280 --> 01:17:54,519
Speaker 1: as to how that might look come tonight against the

1477
01:17:54,600 --> 01:17:56,639
Speaker 1: Chiefs team that puts it in the air about sixty

1478
01:17:56,680 --> 01:17:59,000
Speaker 1: percent of the time. We are going to go back

1479
01:17:59,000 --> 01:18:01,080
Speaker 1: to the phones. We got some people waiting patiently. There

1480
01:18:01,080 --> 01:18:04,160
Speaker 1: we go to Mark and Buffalo to lead us off. Here, Mark,

1481
01:18:04,200 --> 01:18:05,679
Speaker 1: what do you have for us? Welcome to the show?

1482
01:18:06,240 --> 01:18:10,080
Speaker 1: Hey Chris, Hey Steve, how are you? A couple of points?

1483
01:18:10,720 --> 01:18:14,120
Speaker 1: Not real deep ones. But first of all, the fans.

1484
01:18:14,160 --> 01:18:17,280
Speaker 1: I think this is the one game that the team's

1485
01:18:17,320 --> 01:18:19,599
Speaker 1: gonna miss the fans the most, because when I saw

1486
01:18:19,640 --> 01:18:22,560
Speaker 1: the schedule come out and everything went before the pandemic

1487
01:18:22,560 --> 01:18:24,640
Speaker 1: and that, I was like, we're really gonna need the

1488
01:18:24,680 --> 01:18:27,200
Speaker 1: crowd against Casey, but now we don't have it. So

1489
01:18:27,479 --> 01:18:30,439
Speaker 1: and I don't think Mahomes has ever faced a crowd

1490
01:18:31,040 --> 01:18:33,960
Speaker 1: like he would have seen in Buffalo when we have

1491
01:18:34,000 --> 01:18:36,080
Speaker 1: a good team. I mean, I think he would have

1492
01:18:36,080 --> 01:18:39,600
Speaker 1: been nuts there tonight. The other point I have is

1493
01:18:40,080 --> 01:18:44,680
Speaker 1: offensively on the field. Now, I was disappointed, especially in

1494
01:18:44,720 --> 01:18:47,800
Speaker 1: the first half, how the offense and the lack of

1495
01:18:47,840 --> 01:18:50,479
Speaker 1: spreading the ball around last week. I mean, I know

1496
01:18:50,560 --> 01:18:55,040
Speaker 1: we didn't have John Brown. There's no excuse for easily

1497
01:18:55,080 --> 01:18:57,559
Speaker 1: not getting to a touch in the first half and

1498
01:18:58,360 --> 01:19:01,800
Speaker 1: Singletary not being a major part of the offense in

1499
01:19:01,880 --> 01:19:04,680
Speaker 1: the first half. And if it's my perception, but that's

1500
01:19:04,720 --> 01:19:07,280
Speaker 1: what I saw watching the game. I mean, we have

1501
01:19:07,400 --> 01:19:11,479
Speaker 1: enough weapons that and they've been the most successful spreading

1502
01:19:11,520 --> 01:19:14,479
Speaker 1: that ball around all over the field play to play

1503
01:19:14,520 --> 01:19:17,439
Speaker 1: to play, so the defense never knows who they're going

1504
01:19:17,479 --> 01:19:21,280
Speaker 1: to hit next. And I hope they do that again tonight.

1505
01:19:21,400 --> 01:19:24,400
Speaker 1: I know that Casey is not good against the run,

1506
01:19:24,479 --> 01:19:28,040
Speaker 1: but I hope they don't lose sight of that by

1507
01:19:28,280 --> 01:19:31,799
Speaker 1: trying to force the run tonight. The run's important, visited

1508
01:19:31,880 --> 01:19:34,160
Speaker 1: one of you, Ken, But don't lose your identity. Keep

1509
01:19:34,200 --> 01:19:37,000
Speaker 1: spreading that ball around the field. Yeah, you bring up

1510
01:19:37,000 --> 01:19:41,400
Speaker 1: an interesting point mark from the perspective of distribution, because

1511
01:19:41,920 --> 01:19:44,400
Speaker 1: through these first four wins that the Bills have had

1512
01:19:44,439 --> 01:19:46,840
Speaker 1: Steve As you know, they've been thrown it just to

1513
01:19:46,920 --> 01:19:49,200
Speaker 1: the open guy. I mean, you've got ten different guys

1514
01:19:49,200 --> 01:19:52,280
Speaker 1: that have caught touchdowns already in five games. I mean,

1515
01:19:52,439 --> 01:19:55,679
Speaker 1: Reggie Gilliam has a touchdown, Gabriel Davis has a touchdown.

1516
01:19:55,760 --> 01:19:59,360
Speaker 1: I mean guys that you probably wouldn't have expected. Yeah,

1517
01:19:59,400 --> 01:20:01,760
Speaker 1: the guys through the first five weeks that have caught

1518
01:20:01,800 --> 01:20:05,200
Speaker 1: touchdown passes Smith Smith. I mean there are guys that

1519
01:20:05,240 --> 01:20:09,800
Speaker 1: have Tyler Croft has two. So you know, I think

1520
01:20:09,800 --> 01:20:14,320
Speaker 1: the distribution makes this defense harder to defend because you

1521
01:20:14,360 --> 01:20:18,000
Speaker 1: can't key on any one guy. Now, last week without

1522
01:20:18,080 --> 01:20:23,080
Speaker 1: John Brown, they targeted Stefon Diggs a ton and understandably

1523
01:20:23,120 --> 01:20:25,920
Speaker 1: so he was getting open and that's all they tell Josh,

1524
01:20:25,960 --> 01:20:28,559
Speaker 1: just throw it to the open guy. Someone will get open.

1525
01:20:28,880 --> 01:20:30,880
Speaker 1: But I think the way that he has been able

1526
01:20:30,920 --> 01:20:34,120
Speaker 1: to effectively spread their ball all across the field really

1527
01:20:34,160 --> 01:20:35,880
Speaker 1: makes it tough for a defense to key in on

1528
01:20:35,960 --> 01:20:39,200
Speaker 1: any one guy. For example, you know how Belichick, he

1529
01:20:39,240 --> 01:20:42,120
Speaker 1: wants to take your best weapon away. As Dan and

1530
01:20:42,200 --> 01:20:45,200
Speaker 1: Hughes was telling us earlier this hour, they would bracket

1531
01:20:45,200 --> 01:20:48,360
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey. He was viewed as the biggest threat for them. Well,

1532
01:20:48,520 --> 01:20:51,000
Speaker 1: if you have the ball going to eight different targets

1533
01:20:51,000 --> 01:20:54,479
Speaker 1: and a half of a football game, you're bracketting somebody.

1534
01:20:54,479 --> 01:20:57,880
Speaker 1: They're throwing it to seven other guys. Stop that, right,

1535
01:20:57,960 --> 01:21:00,160
Speaker 1: I don't know how you do. Yeah, it's right, And

1536
01:21:00,200 --> 01:21:02,720
Speaker 1: I don't know the ins and outs of why he's right.

1537
01:21:03,720 --> 01:21:06,479
Speaker 1: I like that call from Mark from Buffalo. He's right.

1538
01:21:07,200 --> 01:21:09,120
Speaker 1: It's bad that Cole Beasley didn't get a target in

1539
01:21:09,120 --> 01:21:10,640
Speaker 1: the first half. Now he came made up for it

1540
01:21:10,680 --> 01:21:12,439
Speaker 1: in the second half, and I get all that. I

1541
01:21:12,479 --> 01:21:14,720
Speaker 1: think Josh gotta talking to it at halftime, saying, hey,

1542
01:21:14,760 --> 01:21:16,600
Speaker 1: let's get the slot guy involved here so we can

1543
01:21:16,680 --> 01:21:18,400
Speaker 1: kind of Nickel and Diamond a little bit. They're giving

1544
01:21:18,439 --> 01:21:22,320
Speaker 1: us underneath stuff. Right, So you're right, everybody needs to

1545
01:21:22,320 --> 01:21:25,120
Speaker 1: get involved in this league. With the offenses the way

1546
01:21:25,120 --> 01:21:28,080
Speaker 1: they're playing, with this team that you're playing tonight, everybody's

1547
01:21:28,120 --> 01:21:29,880
Speaker 1: got to chip in. Everybody's got to do that what

1548
01:21:29,920 --> 01:21:31,760
Speaker 1: they can to get open and it's up to your guy,

1549
01:21:32,240 --> 01:21:34,639
Speaker 1: a quarterback, to find the open guy. But you're right,

1550
01:21:35,080 --> 01:21:38,000
Speaker 1: everybody's got to be a viable target, and you got

1551
01:21:38,000 --> 01:21:40,519
Speaker 1: to make them think that. That's how you think you

1552
01:21:40,600 --> 01:21:42,400
Speaker 1: got to make him see you're willing to throw the

1553
01:21:42,439 --> 01:21:45,800
Speaker 1: football to anybody you know across the board, no matter

1554
01:21:45,840 --> 01:21:50,520
Speaker 1: what personnel combination, no matter what grouping or formation. Everybody

1555
01:21:50,680 --> 01:21:54,200
Speaker 1: is a viable option for this quarterback. I think there's

1556
01:21:54,200 --> 01:21:56,200
Speaker 1: a lot of things that happened in that game last

1557
01:21:56,280 --> 01:21:59,200
Speaker 1: week in Tennessee. I hesitate to even use it as

1558
01:21:59,240 --> 01:22:02,280
Speaker 1: any kind of exam ample, but the fact that you

1559
01:22:02,320 --> 01:22:04,280
Speaker 1: know Beasley didn't get a target in the first half

1560
01:22:04,439 --> 01:22:07,800
Speaker 1: says something, Yeah, it would. That game to me was

1561
01:22:07,840 --> 01:22:10,680
Speaker 1: an aberration in a lot of ways, not just you know,

1562
01:22:10,720 --> 01:22:13,920
Speaker 1: the way their offense looked. But but I think he's

1563
01:22:14,000 --> 01:22:16,240
Speaker 1: right if he wants to use of having all these weapons.

1564
01:22:16,280 --> 01:22:18,439
Speaker 1: If you're only gonna throw the two of them, you

1565
01:22:18,479 --> 01:22:21,479
Speaker 1: know you need to throw to all of them. Eight

1566
01:22:21,520 --> 01:22:25,320
Speaker 1: oh three, five fifty one, eight fifty two, five fifty two.

1567
01:22:25,439 --> 01:22:27,479
Speaker 1: Michael in Buffalo, Michael, what do you have for us?

1568
01:22:27,479 --> 01:22:32,400
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show. Thank you, Oh thanks for taking

1569
01:22:32,439 --> 01:22:37,679
Speaker 1: my call. I see one thing I see evenly matched

1570
01:22:37,760 --> 01:22:41,680
Speaker 1: teams offensively, very explosive. I think the one thing that

1571
01:22:41,840 --> 01:22:45,400
Speaker 1: Buffalo needs to bring to the table this morning, coming

1572
01:22:45,400 --> 01:22:47,920
Speaker 1: out for the game and coming back out at halftime

1573
01:22:48,600 --> 01:22:52,679
Speaker 1: is an attitude. And that attitude has to be nobody

1574
01:22:52,760 --> 01:22:56,320
Speaker 1: comes into our house and pushes us around. I'd like

1575
01:22:56,400 --> 01:23:00,519
Speaker 1: to see the offensive line get a little meaner, and

1576
01:23:00,720 --> 01:23:04,320
Speaker 1: the defensive line get mean and get pressure up front,

1577
01:23:05,360 --> 01:23:09,960
Speaker 1: and they Patrick Mahomes Moover's feet. I think those are

1578
01:23:09,960 --> 01:23:13,160
Speaker 1: the keys to the game. All right, Mike, we appreciate

1579
01:23:13,200 --> 01:23:15,559
Speaker 1: the call. Thanks for chiming in. I will say this,

1580
01:23:16,680 --> 01:23:19,240
Speaker 1: Mahomes is pretty damn good against pressure. At least the

1581
01:23:19,280 --> 01:23:21,400
Speaker 1: numbers have bared that. You know. I've borne that out

1582
01:23:21,439 --> 01:23:23,920
Speaker 1: through the course of this season. He's one of the

1583
01:23:23,960 --> 01:23:27,719
Speaker 1: highest rated passers against blitz and again and went under pressure,

1584
01:23:28,439 --> 01:23:31,200
Speaker 1: which is why the Raiders took the approach that they

1585
01:23:31,280 --> 01:23:34,960
Speaker 1: did last week. In the second half of that game,

1586
01:23:35,280 --> 01:23:39,360
Speaker 1: they rushed three spied Mahomes with a linebacker and dropped

1587
01:23:39,400 --> 01:23:42,040
Speaker 1: seven into coverage and it made life more difficult in

1588
01:23:42,120 --> 01:23:44,280
Speaker 1: terms of him finding his targets in the passing game,

1589
01:23:44,760 --> 01:23:47,599
Speaker 1: and they used a ball control offense in the second half.

1590
01:23:48,000 --> 01:23:50,639
Speaker 1: As we hear Dan Hughes say earlier this hour, our

1591
01:23:50,640 --> 01:23:54,400
Speaker 1: guest who's a Chief radio Chiefs radio analyst, he said, look,

1592
01:23:54,840 --> 01:23:56,680
Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs didn't kill him. He had like twenty three

1593
01:23:56,760 --> 01:24:00,760
Speaker 1: carries for seventy eight yards. I mean that not impressive

1594
01:24:01,040 --> 01:24:03,840
Speaker 1: from a yards per carry average, but they mixed it

1595
01:24:03,840 --> 01:24:06,000
Speaker 1: in with a passing game and we're able to stay

1596
01:24:06,040 --> 01:24:08,600
Speaker 1: on schedule enough with down in distance to stay on

1597
01:24:08,680 --> 01:24:12,040
Speaker 1: the field, choose some clock. And the Chiefs went scoreless

1598
01:24:12,040 --> 01:24:14,200
Speaker 1: in the third quarter in that game last week, because

1599
01:24:14,200 --> 01:24:15,799
Speaker 1: they only got I think they only have one possession

1600
01:24:15,800 --> 01:24:19,000
Speaker 1: in the entire quarter because the chief the Raiders held

1601
01:24:19,000 --> 01:24:21,599
Speaker 1: on to it for thirteen minutes in the third quarter,

1602
01:24:21,720 --> 01:24:25,439
Speaker 1: thirteen plus just by using ball control. And so I

1603
01:24:25,479 --> 01:24:28,000
Speaker 1: wouldn't be averse to the Bills and turn into that

1604
01:24:28,040 --> 01:24:30,400
Speaker 1: page in the playbook and say, and you know, we

1605
01:24:30,439 --> 01:24:33,240
Speaker 1: may only get three and a half yard to pop here,

1606
01:24:33,800 --> 01:24:36,040
Speaker 1: but at least it has the Chiefs thinking about it,

1607
01:24:36,439 --> 01:24:38,519
Speaker 1: and we may be able to use play action even

1608
01:24:38,520 --> 01:24:41,080
Speaker 1: more effectively than we have. Yeah, and here's two. You

1609
01:24:41,120 --> 01:24:42,679
Speaker 1: got to have some faith in what you do well.

1610
01:24:42,920 --> 01:24:45,040
Speaker 1: And I know that every game is different, but the

1611
01:24:45,080 --> 01:24:47,640
Speaker 1: Bills are leading the league by a long shot in

1612
01:24:47,720 --> 01:24:50,400
Speaker 1: third down conversions. So they have the ability to get

1613
01:24:50,439 --> 01:24:52,840
Speaker 1: into a third and shorter or third and medium and think, okay,

1614
01:24:52,880 --> 01:24:54,880
Speaker 1: we'll pick that up. You know, sixty percent of the time,

1615
01:24:56,080 --> 01:24:59,880
Speaker 1: when you have a confidence like that, you can make

1616
01:25:00,080 --> 01:25:03,240
Speaker 1: sent an extra runner to knowing that you're gonna be

1617
01:25:03,240 --> 01:25:04,640
Speaker 1: able to pick it up. If you don't get the

1618
01:25:04,640 --> 01:25:08,320
Speaker 1: first down on second down or first down, you're gonna

1619
01:25:08,360 --> 01:25:10,080
Speaker 1: be able to stay on the field on third down.

1620
01:25:10,160 --> 01:25:12,560
Speaker 1: So there's a little bit of that in there as well.

1621
01:25:12,800 --> 01:25:14,880
Speaker 1: But by the same token, if you miss one of

1622
01:25:14,880 --> 01:25:16,639
Speaker 1: those third downs, you're punting it back to the team

1623
01:25:16,640 --> 01:25:19,599
Speaker 1: with you know, one of the highest octane offenses. You know. Ever,

1624
01:25:21,160 --> 01:25:26,160
Speaker 1: so all of this goes in the mix. But I

1625
01:25:26,280 --> 01:25:28,599
Speaker 1: kind of get I kind of like what Mike from

1626
01:25:28,640 --> 01:25:32,040
Speaker 1: Buffalo said. You know, if you take these offenses as

1627
01:25:32,040 --> 01:25:33,840
Speaker 1: being a little bit equal, and I know that's a

1628
01:25:33,840 --> 01:25:35,960
Speaker 1: big statement putting Buffalo up on that echelon with the

1629
01:25:36,000 --> 01:25:40,880
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs, but that running game. What you said

1630
01:25:40,880 --> 01:25:42,880
Speaker 1: about the third quarter, If if the Chiefs give up

1631
01:25:42,920 --> 01:25:44,920
Speaker 1: forty two points, which they did to the Raiders last week,

1632
01:25:44,960 --> 01:25:49,400
Speaker 1: you can't score that many points in three and three

1633
01:25:49,479 --> 01:25:53,160
Speaker 1: quarters of a game. So, you know, the time that

1634
01:25:53,240 --> 01:25:55,799
Speaker 1: the Raiders took off the clock in that third quarter

1635
01:25:55,920 --> 01:25:59,000
Speaker 1: and limited the number of possessions that we're going to happen. Subsequently,

1636
01:25:59,400 --> 01:26:01,439
Speaker 1: there just wasn't enough time in the game for the

1637
01:26:01,479 --> 01:26:04,080
Speaker 1: chief to climb back into it. When the Raiders are

1638
01:26:04,080 --> 01:26:07,439
Speaker 1: finishing off their drives with touchdowns and also nicking them

1639
01:26:07,439 --> 01:26:10,280
Speaker 1: for big plays for touchdowns, the Chiefs just didn't have

1640
01:26:10,400 --> 01:26:14,040
Speaker 1: enough chances to score that many points. And there's something

1641
01:26:14,080 --> 01:26:15,559
Speaker 1: to be said for that. That comes back to your

1642
01:26:15,600 --> 01:26:18,280
Speaker 1: running game and the fact that the Chiefs do give

1643
01:26:18,360 --> 01:26:21,559
Speaker 1: up five yards a rush. Yeah, rich In orshar Park,

1644
01:26:21,600 --> 01:26:23,240
Speaker 1: Hank Tight, we'll get to you. We have to take

1645
01:26:23,280 --> 01:26:26,240
Speaker 1: a break here. Eight oh three five fifty line open

1648
01:26:30,280 --> 01:26:33,120
Speaker 1: over the Chiefs, or if you are in a work

1649
01:26:33,280 --> 01:26:36,880

1650

Speaker 1: for kickoff, tell us what your solution is. You may

1651
01:26:39,680 --> 01:26:41,360
Speaker 1: be helping out some of your other Bills fans who

1652
01:26:41,360 --> 01:26:43,120
Speaker 1: are in a bit of a quandary on how the

1653
01:26:43,160 --> 01:26:44,639
Speaker 1: heck they're going to get out of work in time

1654
01:26:44,880 --> 01:26:47,840
Speaker 1: to get home for kickoff. Eighth three, five fifty one,

Speaker 1: of the program, and we're gonna do it with a

1660
01:27:12,640 --> 01:27:16,160
Speaker 1: phone call as we go to rich In Orchard Park,

1661
01:27:16,320 --> 01:27:20,200
Speaker 1: rich what do you have for us? Welcome to the show. Hey, thanks,

1662
01:27:20,200 --> 01:27:22,840
Speaker 1: just a second to what a previous Choler says, it

1663
01:27:22,960 --> 01:27:25,040
Speaker 1: was awesome watching you catch the ball. My dad and

1664
01:27:25,080 --> 01:27:26,519
Speaker 1: I it was like our favorite memories is when you

1665
01:27:26,520 --> 01:27:28,559
Speaker 1: actually got on there as a receiver. I'm not going

1666
01:27:28,600 --> 01:27:30,920
Speaker 1: to Canton to visit until you're in there. But the

1667
01:27:30,920 --> 01:27:34,759
Speaker 1: two question I got for you is from the mindset

1668
01:27:34,760 --> 01:27:38,000
Speaker 1: of a player, not one that's current, because they always

1669
01:27:38,040 --> 01:27:40,479
Speaker 1: have some sort of you know, faith that they have

1670
01:27:40,560 --> 01:27:44,479
Speaker 1: to put on. But when we were really great back

1671
01:27:44,479 --> 01:27:46,720
Speaker 1: in the nineties and we are like a thirteen and

1672
01:27:46,760 --> 01:27:49,000
Speaker 1: three team and we lost to the Colts, it wasn't

1673
01:27:49,000 --> 01:27:50,840
Speaker 1: really worried about it. They weren't a great team. But

1674
01:27:50,880 --> 01:27:53,240
Speaker 1: when we lost the Chiefs on Monday night, like thirty

1675
01:27:53,280 --> 01:27:55,960
Speaker 1: three to six, like oh cramp, we lost to a

1676
01:27:56,000 --> 01:27:58,920
Speaker 1: really good team, and that was the kind of loss

1677
01:27:58,920 --> 01:28:01,720
Speaker 1: who were worried about. Does a player really feel the

1678
01:28:01,760 --> 01:28:03,960
Speaker 1: same way, Like it doesn't really bother you as much

1679
01:28:04,040 --> 01:28:05,960
Speaker 1: when you lose to like a lesser opponent because you

1680
01:28:05,960 --> 01:28:07,760
Speaker 1: just kind of like shake it off and go, you know,

1681
01:28:07,840 --> 01:28:09,600
Speaker 1: that's not us, that's not our game. We don't have

1682
01:28:09,680 --> 01:28:15,160
Speaker 1: to worry about it. And a linked question is, like

1683
01:28:15,280 --> 01:28:18,200
Speaker 1: the Chiefs this week they lost to a team that's

1684
01:28:18,200 --> 01:28:20,760
Speaker 1: obviously lesser than them when they played the Chargers and

1685
01:28:20,800 --> 01:28:22,439
Speaker 1: it went to overtime, they played a team that was

1686
01:28:22,520 --> 01:28:25,320
Speaker 1: lesser than them when they played the Raiders, or Apartment

1687
01:28:25,360 --> 01:28:27,400
Speaker 1: when they played the Ravens, they beat the knot out

1688
01:28:27,400 --> 01:28:29,400
Speaker 1: of them. They're a team that's supposed to be in

1689
01:28:29,439 --> 01:28:33,000
Speaker 1: their ballpark and they just pummel them. How much do

1690
01:28:33,040 --> 01:28:36,519
Speaker 1: you think a player at the professional level really gears

1691
01:28:36,640 --> 01:28:40,320
Speaker 1: up for that big game as compared to a lesser opponent,

1692
01:28:40,400 --> 01:28:42,640
Speaker 1: Like how much do you really feel someone plays up

1693
01:28:42,680 --> 01:28:44,479
Speaker 1: to or plays down to their opponent? And I'll let

1694
01:28:44,479 --> 01:28:47,960
Speaker 1: you go, thank that's a good question, Richard. By the way, thanks, Yeah,

1695
01:28:48,080 --> 01:28:50,240
Speaker 1: ninety five was a fun year because there was a

1696
01:28:50,280 --> 01:28:54,120
Speaker 1: bus crash and I actually got a play. So anyway,

1697
01:28:54,400 --> 01:28:58,000
Speaker 1: I'm teasing, there is a difference, and here's the difference,

1698
01:28:58,000 --> 01:29:01,040
Speaker 1: and and you can link it to a little bit

1699
01:29:01,040 --> 01:29:03,200
Speaker 1: to last week a little like I say, in a

1700
01:29:03,240 --> 01:29:05,120
Speaker 1: lot of ways, last week's an aberration. But here's what

1701
01:29:05,160 --> 01:29:08,000
Speaker 1: happens when a team loses to a good team. It's

1702
01:29:08,720 --> 01:29:11,240
Speaker 1: you still get if you're a good team and lose

1703
01:29:11,240 --> 01:29:14,400
Speaker 1: to a good team. There are still aspects in the

1704
01:29:14,439 --> 01:29:16,000
Speaker 1: film room that say, you know, we should have done

1705
01:29:16,000 --> 01:29:17,800
Speaker 1: this and this, and we would have won that game,

1706
01:29:17,840 --> 01:29:21,280
Speaker 1: particularly in a close game, if you get your if

1707
01:29:21,280 --> 01:29:23,800
Speaker 1: you get your head caved in, you know, if you

1708
01:29:23,840 --> 01:29:26,840
Speaker 1: lose badly, then it's like why you were never in it,

1709
01:29:26,880 --> 01:29:28,840
Speaker 1: and everything's different because you knew, you know, you were

1710
01:29:28,880 --> 01:29:30,479
Speaker 1: trying to get something going and couldn't you and you

1711
01:29:30,479 --> 01:29:32,080
Speaker 1: were out of your element and that kind of thing.

1712
01:29:32,120 --> 01:29:36,640
Speaker 1: But here's what makes teams. Good teams bounce back the

1713
01:29:36,680 --> 01:29:38,800
Speaker 1: way I think the Chiefs and the Bills will bounce

1714
01:29:38,840 --> 01:29:42,040
Speaker 1: back tonight. What happens is when you lose a game

1715
01:29:42,080 --> 01:29:44,439
Speaker 1: like the Bills did last week, that's got it. It

1716
01:29:44,520 --> 01:29:49,920
Speaker 1: was particularly frustrating because they just you know, they were embarrassed.

1717
01:29:50,040 --> 01:29:52,320
Speaker 1: They came up flat, and they have nobody to blame

1718
01:29:52,439 --> 01:29:57,200
Speaker 1: but themselves for losing that game. The Chiefs lost to

1719
01:29:57,240 --> 01:30:01,280
Speaker 1: a Raider team that played really well against them, and

1720
01:30:01,439 --> 01:30:05,520
Speaker 1: they didn't play their best. That's frustrating. So the frustration,

1721
01:30:06,040 --> 01:30:09,160
Speaker 1: it's not about tonight. The frustration is about the next

1722
01:30:09,240 --> 01:30:12,559
Speaker 1: day after the game, when you come back in and

1723
01:30:12,600 --> 01:30:17,840
Speaker 1: you're angry about how that game went, and so you

1724
01:30:17,960 --> 01:30:19,800
Speaker 1: turn it around and say, all right, I'm not gonna

1725
01:30:19,800 --> 01:30:21,639
Speaker 1: be that angry this week because we're gonna play better.

1726
01:30:22,160 --> 01:30:25,000
Speaker 1: And you go out to practice on last week Wednesday

1727
01:30:25,680 --> 01:30:29,040
Speaker 1: and you've got that attitude, and Thursday you've got that attitude,

1728
01:30:29,080 --> 01:30:31,559
Speaker 1: and Friday you've got that attitude about I'm not going

1729
01:30:31,600 --> 01:30:33,519
Speaker 1: to get embarrassed again. I am not going to lose

1730
01:30:33,560 --> 01:30:35,920
Speaker 1: a game where I don't play at least my best.

1731
01:30:35,960 --> 01:30:37,800
Speaker 1: I don't care if we lose, but I'm not going

1732
01:30:37,840 --> 01:30:40,479
Speaker 1: to play like I did last week. And you go

1733
01:30:40,560 --> 01:30:43,360
Speaker 1: through the entire week leading up to the game with

1734
01:30:43,439 --> 01:30:48,040
Speaker 1: that attitude. And it's, like I've said a multitude of

1735
01:30:48,040 --> 01:30:50,400
Speaker 1: times on this show, you don't win games like on

1736
01:30:50,560 --> 01:30:53,400
Speaker 1: Monday night at five o'clock for the Bills, you win

1737
01:30:53,479 --> 01:30:57,559
Speaker 1: them Wednesday through Sunday this last week. When you're getting

1738
01:30:57,560 --> 01:30:59,760
Speaker 1: ready to play, when you hit when you hit the

1739
01:30:59,760 --> 01:31:02,080
Speaker 1: fel that's just the results of what you've already done

1740
01:31:02,120 --> 01:31:05,040
Speaker 1: to win that game. That's how NFL games are won.

1741
01:31:05,160 --> 01:31:07,680
Speaker 1: That's why coaches talk about listen. Every day is the same.

1742
01:31:07,720 --> 01:31:09,960
Speaker 1: We've got a routine, we've got a culture. This is

1743
01:31:10,000 --> 01:31:12,479
Speaker 1: the standard, this is our process. We got to go

1744
01:31:12,520 --> 01:31:14,439
Speaker 1: through the process and do it the way we do it.

1745
01:31:14,600 --> 01:31:17,840
Speaker 1: Because when you get to Sunday the fruit of that

1746
01:31:17,920 --> 01:31:22,120
Speaker 1: process is a win or at least a really good

1747
01:31:22,160 --> 01:31:24,719
Speaker 1: performance on the field. Yeah, the ball may bounce away,

1748
01:31:24,840 --> 01:31:26,800
Speaker 1: you may get a bad call, you may get a

1749
01:31:26,800 --> 01:31:30,360
Speaker 1: bad review, but your play is where you want it

1750
01:31:30,400 --> 01:31:33,560
Speaker 1: to be. That's what happens when these teams rebound and

1751
01:31:33,600 --> 01:31:35,400
Speaker 1: don't rebound when they lose to a bad team or

1752
01:31:35,400 --> 01:31:37,920
Speaker 1: a good team or whatever, however the game goes. When

1753
01:31:37,920 --> 01:31:41,400
Speaker 1: they hit the next week frustrated and angry about how

1754
01:31:41,439 --> 01:31:45,120
Speaker 1: that game went and how they looked, that's when you

1755
01:31:45,160 --> 01:31:47,519
Speaker 1: get a chance to rebound and play well the next week,

1756
01:31:47,720 --> 01:31:51,520
Speaker 1: whether you win or lose. That's how it works. Yeah,

1757
01:31:51,560 --> 01:31:54,960
Speaker 1: and you know, the Chiefs are a little bit hard

1758
01:31:55,000 --> 01:31:59,080
Speaker 1: to figure out. But after winning the Super Bowl last year,

1759
01:31:59,120 --> 01:32:01,479
Speaker 1: you'll hear this all the time. Do they have the

1760
01:32:01,560 --> 01:32:04,000
Speaker 1: hunger anymore? They climbed the mountain, they got to the top,

1761
01:32:04,080 --> 01:32:06,559
Speaker 1: they won the title. Are they still a hungry team?

1762
01:32:06,840 --> 01:32:09,519
Speaker 1: Are they as hungry as a Titans team that's probably

1763
01:32:09,560 --> 01:32:12,479
Speaker 1: still smarting from blowing a lead to the Chiefs in

1764
01:32:12,520 --> 01:32:16,760
Speaker 1: the AFC title game? Probably not. So they play the

1765
01:32:16,840 --> 01:32:19,479
Speaker 1: Ravens and everybody's like, oh, the Ravens are the next

1766
01:32:19,479 --> 01:32:22,560
Speaker 1: best team after the Chiefs in the AFC. Oh, yeah,

1767
01:32:22,600 --> 01:32:24,840
Speaker 1: I mean the Chiefs are motivated to prove otherwise and

1768
01:32:24,880 --> 01:32:27,679
Speaker 1: they did. I mean they waxed the Ravens, but then

1769
01:32:28,720 --> 01:32:32,559
Speaker 1: they lose to the Raiders, a division opponent who hasn't

1770
01:32:32,600 --> 01:32:36,479
Speaker 1: won in Kansas City since twenty twelve, and so yeah,

1771
01:32:36,520 --> 01:32:39,360
Speaker 1: it does defy logic a little bit. But that's part

1772
01:32:39,400 --> 01:32:42,120
Speaker 1: of the emotional part of this game that Steve was

1773
01:32:42,160 --> 01:32:44,439
Speaker 1: talking about at the top of the show. It can

1774
01:32:44,439 --> 01:32:48,040
Speaker 1: ebb and flow and impact that two to four percent

1775
01:32:48,080 --> 01:32:50,400
Speaker 1: difference that he was talking about and how a game

1776
01:32:50,439 --> 01:32:53,280
Speaker 1: is supposed to turn out and it makes a difference.

1777
01:32:53,600 --> 01:32:56,800
Speaker 1: Instead of being two to four percent, maybe that emotional

1778
01:32:56,840 --> 01:32:59,799
Speaker 1: wave brings it up to nine or ten percent difference.

1779
01:33:00,080 --> 01:33:03,519
Speaker 1: Now you're talking about some there's a gap there now,

1780
01:33:03,920 --> 01:33:06,240
Speaker 1: a noticeable one, and you say, well, how the heck

1781
01:33:06,240 --> 01:33:09,240
Speaker 1: did they lose by twenty six when you have seven

1782
01:33:09,280 --> 01:33:14,479
Speaker 1: three STA penalties turnovers. Yes, it's mistakes. It adds up

1783
01:33:14,520 --> 01:33:17,840
Speaker 1: and it's it compounds itself very quickly. In this league.

1784
01:33:18,800 --> 01:33:20,680
Speaker 1: It is an emotional sport, maybe one of the more

1785
01:33:20,760 --> 01:33:23,519
Speaker 1: emotional that you can have in pro sports. Just by

1786
01:33:23,520 --> 01:33:26,160
Speaker 1: the way that wave come comes crashing down on a

1787
01:33:26,200 --> 01:33:28,800
Speaker 1: team and they can't get their momentum back. They can't

1788
01:33:28,800 --> 01:33:32,200
Speaker 1: find it. They're grasping its straws, and they've seen nothing's working.

1789
01:33:32,280 --> 01:33:35,479
Speaker 1: You've seen so many teams this year get caught with

1790
01:33:35,520 --> 01:33:37,920
Speaker 1: a big lead and blow it, so many teams and

1791
01:33:38,160 --> 01:33:41,200
Speaker 1: Bill did in Week three. And the only difference is

1792
01:33:41,200 --> 01:33:44,040
Speaker 1: the emotional content at that stretch of the game where

1793
01:33:44,080 --> 01:33:47,120
Speaker 1: you think the Bills think we're up by twenty, they're

1794
01:33:47,160 --> 01:33:49,320
Speaker 1: twenty five on the Rams. It's like, you know what,

1795
01:33:49,320 --> 01:33:51,160
Speaker 1: they're just sitting enough time. You know what, We've got

1796
01:33:51,160 --> 01:33:53,640
Speaker 1: another game. It's a long season. Let's get out of

1797
01:33:53,680 --> 01:33:56,200
Speaker 1: this healthy, hold these guys off, and move on to

1798
01:33:56,320 --> 01:33:58,519
Speaker 1: next week. And the Rams, on the other hand, are

1799
01:33:58,520 --> 01:33:59,960
Speaker 1: going to listen, we're not going to get in better.

1800
01:34:00,080 --> 01:34:02,200
Speaker 1: Let's go. Let's so they start trying some things, and

1801
01:34:02,200 --> 01:34:06,000
Speaker 1: they're they're talented, and they start doing some desperate things

1802
01:34:06,040 --> 01:34:07,600
Speaker 1: and pulling some things they didn't really think they were

1803
01:34:07,600 --> 01:34:10,720
Speaker 1: gonna have to pull, and they start clicking and the

1804
01:34:11,200 --> 01:34:14,200
Speaker 1: Bills are caught like, oh man, wow, they scolds rolling down.

1805
01:34:14,240 --> 01:34:16,400
Speaker 1: He'll scored once. Okay, Well that's cool, you know, let's

1806
01:34:16,439 --> 01:34:18,640
Speaker 1: just still you know, we're okay, whoa they did it,

1807
01:34:18,880 --> 01:34:20,760
Speaker 1: you know, all of a sudden you can't turn it

1808
01:34:20,760 --> 01:34:27,880
Speaker 1: back on. That happens regularly, Yeah, regularly, this sea every week.

1809
01:34:27,960 --> 01:34:31,400
Speaker 1: Somebody's blowing a double digit lead every single week and

1810
01:34:31,439 --> 01:34:36,320
Speaker 1: it has nothing to do with anything except emotional content.

1811
01:34:37,120 --> 01:34:39,160
Speaker 1: That's it. And one of the only teams that's been

1812
01:34:39,200 --> 01:34:41,559
Speaker 1: able to avoid those pitfalls more than any other is

1813
01:34:41,560 --> 01:34:43,720
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots over the last twenty years. And

1814
01:34:43,800 --> 01:34:45,880
Speaker 1: you see what the results are because of it. All Right,

1815
01:34:45,880 --> 01:34:47,560
Speaker 1: we have to take a break because we're at the

1816
01:34:47,600 --> 01:34:50,200
Speaker 1: top of the hour here. When we come back, more

1856
01:36:59,400 --> 01:37:02,559
Speaker 1: as we bring you our number three of a game

1857
01:37:02,640 --> 01:37:05,880
Speaker 1: day edition of One Bills Live Here on a Monday,

1858
01:37:05,960 --> 01:37:09,200
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you. And one thing Steve

1859
01:37:09,200 --> 01:37:11,680
Speaker 1: that I mentioned in the first hour completely slip my

1860
01:37:11,720 --> 01:37:14,599
Speaker 1: mind forgot to get back to it was the field

1861
01:37:14,640 --> 01:37:17,240
Speaker 1: conditions for tonight. Yes, we know it's raining here in

1862
01:37:17,400 --> 01:37:20,000
Speaker 1: Orchard Park on and off, and there is a chance

1863
01:37:20,000 --> 01:37:22,800
Speaker 1: of rain through the first half of tonight's game, but

1864
01:37:23,240 --> 01:37:27,800
Speaker 1: coach McDermott in his Saturday morning press conference with the media,

1865
01:37:27,920 --> 01:37:30,519
Speaker 1: with which a day with which the game being a

1866
01:37:30,640 --> 01:37:33,639
Speaker 1: day later. It's usually his Friday press conference. It got

1867
01:37:33,640 --> 01:37:36,559
Speaker 1: moved to Saturday because the whole thing has moved back

1868
01:37:36,560 --> 01:37:39,519
Speaker 1: a day with the schedule and the game being on Monday.

1869
01:37:40,080 --> 01:37:44,680
Speaker 1: He was asked the footing for home games has not

1870
01:37:44,760 --> 01:37:46,599
Speaker 1: been good. We've seen a lot of guys just wipe

1871
01:37:46,600 --> 01:37:50,080
Speaker 1: out all by themselves without any contact from an opposing player.

1872
01:37:50,600 --> 01:37:54,280
Speaker 1: We noticed it particularly in the Rams game here when

1873
01:37:54,560 --> 01:37:58,479
Speaker 1: Rams players and Bills players were losing their footing. And

1874
01:37:58,840 --> 01:38:04,200
Speaker 1: what the operations staff and stadium crew did, in conjunction

1875
01:38:04,680 --> 01:38:08,559
Speaker 1: with the coaching staff and presumably GM Brandon Bean had

1876
01:38:09,200 --> 01:38:11,880
Speaker 1: you know, some input on this as well, was they

1877
01:38:11,960 --> 01:38:16,760
Speaker 1: provided more rubber infill to the turf and basically those

1878
01:38:16,760 --> 01:38:19,800
Speaker 1: little rubber pellets that are in the field turf. They

1879
01:38:19,880 --> 01:38:25,040
Speaker 1: added more to provide better footing for the players. So

1880
01:38:25,080 --> 01:38:28,200
Speaker 1: we'll see if it makes a difference tonight. Hopefully it does. Yeah,

1881
01:38:28,200 --> 01:38:32,599
Speaker 1: it's basically black rubber sand. Yeah that goes in, you know,

1882
01:38:32,600 --> 01:38:36,200
Speaker 1: to these long fat fibers. And I'm sure too. I mean,

1883
01:38:36,240 --> 01:38:37,639
Speaker 1: the first thing they did was pick up the phone

1884
01:38:37,640 --> 01:38:39,439
Speaker 1: and call the company and say, hey, what can we

1885
01:38:39,479 --> 01:38:41,880
Speaker 1: do and they said do this, yeah, and that's what

1886
01:38:41,920 --> 01:38:43,519
Speaker 1: you and that. So they did press and they change

1887
01:38:43,640 --> 01:38:46,799
Speaker 1: and they do have those tractors with the big brushes

1888
01:38:46,840 --> 01:38:49,680
Speaker 1: on them that they'll run through the turf field to

1889
01:38:49,720 --> 01:38:52,680
Speaker 1: try to fluff up the rubber infill and get the

1890
01:38:52,720 --> 01:38:55,639
Speaker 1: blades of the synthetic turf. Yeah, they could stand back

1891
01:38:55,760 --> 01:38:58,280
Speaker 1: up again. There's all kinds of miss getting matt Yeah,

1892
01:38:58,280 --> 01:39:01,519
Speaker 1: there's all kinds of machine they can run over this. Obviously,

1893
01:39:01,520 --> 01:39:04,880
Speaker 1: this this technology is fairly new in the last decade

1894
01:39:04,960 --> 01:39:09,599
Speaker 1: or three decade or two, and they're getting better at

1895
01:39:09,640 --> 01:39:14,120
Speaker 1: also refurbishing it while you without replacing containing right, so

1896
01:39:14,200 --> 01:39:17,240
Speaker 1: that there's playings. There's tined rakes that they can bring on.

1897
01:39:17,320 --> 01:39:18,960
Speaker 1: They used to brush it. Now they can rake it

1898
01:39:19,000 --> 01:39:20,960
Speaker 1: and they can drag it that kind of stuff. So

1899
01:39:21,000 --> 01:39:22,840
Speaker 1: there's all kinds of things that make it better. But

1900
01:39:22,920 --> 01:39:26,360
Speaker 1: you're right, we saw it a number of times in

1901
01:39:26,400 --> 01:39:28,679
Speaker 1: the first couple of home games where you know, players

1902
01:39:28,720 --> 01:39:32,080
Speaker 1: just go down, the foot gives away and slip, They

1903
01:39:32,120 --> 01:39:36,559
Speaker 1: slip and fall. Can't have that, right, and so the rubber,

1904
01:39:36,640 --> 01:39:40,280
Speaker 1: the rubber infill acts like dirt. I guess on a

1905
01:39:40,320 --> 01:39:44,400
Speaker 1: grass field it's kind of the same deal. And when

1906
01:39:44,479 --> 01:39:49,080
Speaker 1: it gets matted down too much, then the synthetic grass,

1907
01:39:49,320 --> 01:39:52,479
Speaker 1: which is essentially some kind of plastic he kind of

1908
01:39:52,520 --> 01:39:56,600
Speaker 1: fiber green fibers, it's very slick when rubber is not

1909
01:39:56,880 --> 01:39:59,719
Speaker 1: enough of a percentage of the surface on which you're running,

1910
01:40:00,320 --> 01:40:04,720
Speaker 1: and on a day like today, when it's wet on

1911
01:40:04,800 --> 01:40:07,439
Speaker 1: top of it, I think it would only compound the problem.

1912
01:40:07,520 --> 01:40:10,360
Speaker 1: So it's good to know that late last week they

1913
01:40:10,400 --> 01:40:13,840
Speaker 1: filled that in before the team practice on it on Saturday,

1914
01:40:14,200 --> 01:40:16,439
Speaker 1: and hopefully the reviews were good in terms of the

1915
01:40:16,479 --> 01:40:20,080
Speaker 1: sureness of the footing they'll have, you know, I'm yeah,

1916
01:40:20,120 --> 01:40:22,919
Speaker 1: and I would imagine two that like they brought no question,

1917
01:40:23,760 --> 01:40:26,120
Speaker 1: Tyler Bascos out there and kicks on that he's kicked

1918
01:40:26,120 --> 01:40:28,880
Speaker 1: on it, and what it is if you look at

1919
01:40:28,880 --> 01:40:34,640
Speaker 1: it in the components of these fibers and picture you know,

1920
01:40:34,720 --> 01:40:39,200
Speaker 1: shag carpet with very long it's like grass grown out

1921
01:40:39,200 --> 01:40:42,639
Speaker 1: of a blanket that's like five four or five inches long.

1922
01:40:42,680 --> 01:40:45,080
Speaker 1: I mean it's very long, very long, and then they

1923
01:40:45,160 --> 01:40:48,679
Speaker 1: fill it up with rubbery, so it's it's about first

1924
01:40:48,680 --> 01:40:50,320
Speaker 1: and a half to four inches, right, it's like three

1925
01:40:50,439 --> 01:40:53,360
Speaker 1: or four inches of rubber infill. It's what I call

1926
01:40:54,400 --> 01:40:56,880
Speaker 1: rubber dirt, and it goes all the way up until

1927
01:40:56,920 --> 01:40:58,760
Speaker 1: the grass just barely sticks out the top and it

1928
01:40:58,800 --> 01:41:02,479
Speaker 1: just gives it a green color. Most of it is rubber.

1929
01:41:03,240 --> 01:41:05,640
Speaker 1: And then so what happens is, like you say, that

1930
01:41:05,680 --> 01:41:08,920
Speaker 1: stuff settles down or gets you know, works its way

1931
01:41:08,960 --> 01:41:11,280
Speaker 1: out of the water, washes it to the sides of

1932
01:41:11,280 --> 01:41:13,800
Speaker 1: the field or whatever, and after a while you need

1933
01:41:13,840 --> 01:41:17,160
Speaker 1: to either put more fill in there or refurbish it

1934
01:41:17,240 --> 01:41:18,840
Speaker 1: or fluff it up in some way. And they have

1935
01:41:18,880 --> 01:41:20,800
Speaker 1: ways to do that, which they've been working on doing

1936
01:41:20,880 --> 01:41:23,439
Speaker 1: since they added a lot of rubber, new rubber pellets

1937
01:41:23,439 --> 01:41:25,479
Speaker 1: to kind of make it a little deeper and make

1938
01:41:25,520 --> 01:41:28,800
Speaker 1: the surface a little more, a little softer, I think,

1939
01:41:28,840 --> 01:41:31,040
Speaker 1: to absorb the cleats so that there can be a

1940
01:41:31,080 --> 01:41:34,559
Speaker 1: better foothold for the players when they're cutting, you know,

1941
01:41:34,600 --> 01:41:37,439
Speaker 1: trying to cut on a dime, you know, to avoid

1942
01:41:37,720 --> 01:41:39,840
Speaker 1: a would be tackler or defender or something, or to

1943
01:41:39,880 --> 01:41:42,040
Speaker 1: go make a play. So we'll see how it plays

1944
01:41:42,080 --> 01:41:44,519
Speaker 1: out tonight. We do want to get back to the

1945
01:41:44,560 --> 01:41:46,719
Speaker 1: tweet sheet because we have two topics on the table

1946
01:41:46,760 --> 01:41:50,200
Speaker 1: for you there. The first is your keys to a

1947
01:41:50,240 --> 01:41:53,160
Speaker 1: Bill's victory over the Chiefs tonight. The other is how

1948
01:41:53,160 --> 01:41:56,280
Speaker 1: will you ensure you don't miss kickoff? If you know,

1949
01:41:56,479 --> 01:41:59,280
Speaker 1: if you're a working person like Steve and I, you

1950
01:41:59,320 --> 01:42:01,400
Speaker 1: know you're thinking yourself, and you know you're working nine

1951
01:42:01,439 --> 01:42:02,600
Speaker 1: to five, You're like, how the heck am I going

1952
01:42:02,680 --> 01:42:05,639
Speaker 1: to get home in time for kickoff? You know, whether

1953
01:42:05,680 --> 01:42:08,760
Speaker 1: you're slipping out a back door or asking your boss, hey,

1954
01:42:08,800 --> 01:42:10,640
Speaker 1: can I get out twenty minutes early so I can

1955
01:42:10,680 --> 01:42:12,840
Speaker 1: get home by the time they're kicking this thing off.

1956
01:42:12,880 --> 01:42:14,599
Speaker 1: So we go to the tweet sheet, which is brought

1957
01:42:14,640 --> 01:42:17,479
Speaker 1: to you by Carrying and Moving Systems, the official equipment

1958
01:42:17,479 --> 01:42:21,400
Speaker 1: moving company of the Buffalo Bills, and with respect to

1959
01:42:22,439 --> 01:42:25,519
Speaker 1: getting home in time to ensure they don't miss kickoff

1960
01:42:25,600 --> 01:42:30,040
Speaker 1: from Sean, I'm gonna miss kickoff, So I have the

1961
01:42:30,160 --> 01:42:34,040
Speaker 1: DVR set I get off at two thirty Vegas time,

1962
01:42:34,760 --> 01:42:38,920
Speaker 1: which would mean five thirty here home by three which

1963
01:42:38,920 --> 01:42:42,960
Speaker 1: would be six, and hopefully I'm caught up and live

1964
01:42:43,439 --> 01:42:46,439
Speaker 1: by the start of the third quarter. Also, phone is

1965
01:42:46,479 --> 01:42:49,400
Speaker 1: going to be turned off at kickoff. He doesn't want

1966
01:42:49,439 --> 01:42:52,680
Speaker 1: tweets or updates or notifications or anything and that's the

1967
01:42:52,720 --> 01:42:55,840
Speaker 1: battle you wage when you DVR a game. Well, like

1968
01:42:56,080 --> 01:42:58,280
Speaker 1: you gotta put your phone over here because you got

1969
01:42:58,280 --> 01:43:00,360
Speaker 1: your buddies going. Did you just say that that was

1970
01:43:00,400 --> 01:43:02,439
Speaker 1: unbelievable and you're like, son of a gun, him DVR

1971
01:43:02,479 --> 01:43:04,599
Speaker 1: and the damn thing, I'm at work right now. Exactly.

1972
01:43:04,880 --> 01:43:06,800
Speaker 1: That's what you pick your battles. So Sean does that,

1973
01:43:06,840 --> 01:43:08,640
Speaker 1: He's got his DVR, said he's gonna sync it up

1974
01:43:08,640 --> 01:43:10,200
Speaker 1: and do all this stuff and get live as he

1975
01:43:10,280 --> 01:43:11,840
Speaker 1: watched it close to the Yeah, because once you get

1976
01:43:11,880 --> 01:43:14,160
Speaker 1: to halftime, you can just blow through the halftime and

1977
01:43:14,200 --> 01:43:15,840
Speaker 1: the commercials to catch up to the list. That's the

1978
01:43:15,880 --> 01:43:18,519
Speaker 1: battle Sean chooses to fight. Dave says, yeah, I'm just

1979
01:43:18,520 --> 01:43:22,760
Speaker 1: gonna be working pretty hard to getting fired. So so

1980
01:43:22,880 --> 01:43:25,080
Speaker 1: he's gonna be home, right, He'll be home for the game, right,

1981
01:43:25,120 --> 01:43:27,280
Speaker 1: So how too hard can that be? But yeah, you're

1982
01:43:27,360 --> 01:43:30,680
Speaker 1: right people, And let's face it, it's a it's a

1983
01:43:30,720 --> 01:43:32,960
Speaker 1: great day, a great age in which we live. When

1984
01:43:33,040 --> 01:43:35,599
Speaker 1: you can watch it on your phone live, you can

1985
01:43:35,680 --> 01:43:37,439
Speaker 1: watch it, you know, you can listen to it live

1986
01:43:37,479 --> 01:43:39,400
Speaker 1: on your phone or work. You can watch it on

1987
01:43:39,520 --> 01:43:45,320
Speaker 1: different than you know who all this stuff you can

1988
01:43:45,360 --> 01:43:49,040
Speaker 1: get it. The thing is, you know, you remember what

1989
01:43:49,040 --> 01:43:50,360
Speaker 1: it used to be like it was. If you're not

1990
01:43:50,400 --> 01:43:52,559
Speaker 1: in front of your TV at home, you ain't catching

1991
01:43:52,560 --> 01:43:54,759
Speaker 1: it and you're not getting updates. You have no idea.

1992
01:43:54,840 --> 01:43:58,840
Speaker 1: There's no social media, none of your friends can text you.

1993
01:43:59,000 --> 01:44:03,040
Speaker 1: Nobody had a phone. This is a bunch for all

1994
01:44:03,040 --> 01:44:06,360
Speaker 1: the problems we have because of it. There's really no excuse.

1995
01:44:06,760 --> 01:44:09,000
Speaker 1: If you want to watch the game without knowing what happened,

1996
01:44:09,880 --> 01:44:12,640
Speaker 1: it's your own fault if it doesn't happen. It's not

1997
01:44:12,720 --> 01:44:17,800
Speaker 1: easy though, sometimes this era of you know, instant updates, man, like,

1998
01:44:17,840 --> 01:44:21,559
Speaker 1: you gotta get away from your phone otherwise the whole

1999
01:44:21,560 --> 01:44:23,479
Speaker 1: thing's ruined. Like there's just no way to do it.

2000
01:44:23,520 --> 01:44:26,040
Speaker 1: Turn it off, well yeah, or just get away the world.

2001
01:44:26,120 --> 01:44:28,200
Speaker 1: The world will stop. The world will not stop spinning

2002
01:44:28,200 --> 01:44:29,640
Speaker 1: if you turn your phone. I know that I know

2003
01:44:30,360 --> 01:44:33,360
Speaker 1: from Nick. He says, I own a veterinary hospital with

01:45:27,479 --> 01:45:29,519
Speaker 1: only had about six days to play with. You had

2023
01:45:29,600 --> 01:45:32,160
Speaker 1: six days, and if you know, if you can't get

2024
01:45:32,160 --> 01:45:34,240
Speaker 1: around it in six days, I mean, that's hard. I

2029
01:45:46,760 --> 01:45:48,800
Speaker 1: It's not like he's got a legion of Bills fans

2030
01:45:48,840 --> 01:45:53,679
Speaker 1: that he works with everybody. Everybody's echoing the same sentiment, right, Yeah,

2031
01:45:53,840 --> 01:45:55,800
Speaker 1: if he's out of town, I think he's got a

2032
01:45:55,840 --> 01:45:58,200
Speaker 1: better chance of finding somebody couldn't give a dang about

2042
01:46:22,880 --> 01:46:25,719
Speaker 1: and it's a teammare. It takes a village sometimes. Well,

2043

Speaker 1: she's doing everything. Yeah, she's pre cooked the dinner, she's

2047
01:46:39,640 --> 01:46:43,439
Speaker 1: way it is every place. No, no, no chimes in.

2048
01:46:44,560 --> 01:46:46,719
Speaker 1: All right, Okay, here we go. Me and my crew

2049
01:46:46,880 --> 01:46:49,280
Speaker 1: from Jay Mills, Me and my crew worked a six

2050
01:46:49,320 --> 01:46:53,160
Speaker 1: to six shift. We decided to take time this morning

2051
01:46:53,200 --> 01:46:55,719
Speaker 1: to find a good radio station, a good radio signal

2052
01:46:55,760 --> 01:46:58,400
Speaker 1: for the game. Pretty sure. The boss is aware that

2053
01:46:58,640 --> 01:47:01,880
Speaker 1: no work will be complete. He's a Jets fan, so

2054
01:47:01,960 --> 01:47:04,960
Speaker 1: he has his own issues. And we're only talking about

2055
01:47:04,960 --> 01:47:07,240
Speaker 1: an hour. It's the last hour the shift. These guys

2056
01:47:07,240 --> 01:47:10,720
Speaker 1: are working six to six. Game starts at five. I mean,

2057
01:47:10,720 --> 01:47:12,360
Speaker 1: if they put in a good day, man, just give

2058
01:47:12,400 --> 01:47:15,200
Speaker 1: him an hour a loudspeaker key an hour. Yeah, and

2059
01:47:15,280 --> 01:47:17,280
Speaker 1: I mean they can conceivably keep where I mean, I

2060
01:47:17,320 --> 01:47:19,800
Speaker 1: don't know what these guys do, but conceivably they can

2061
01:47:19,880 --> 01:47:22,280
Speaker 1: keep working while the radio's on. You know, hopefully they

2062
01:47:22,320 --> 01:47:25,680
Speaker 1: don't work for like a power utility or h yeah, right,

2063
01:47:25,720 --> 01:47:29,639
Speaker 1: something from Pete. I'm a mailman. I'll be working until

2064
01:47:29,680 --> 01:47:32,719
Speaker 1: at least seven, and our mail trucks have no radio.

2065
01:47:33,400 --> 01:47:36,000
Speaker 1: I have my phone, which I won't be able to

2066
01:47:36,040 --> 01:47:40,800
Speaker 1: listen to either. I'm freaking miserable right now. Ugh, that's

2067
01:47:40,800 --> 01:47:45,480
Speaker 1: a tough one, man. Um United States Postal Service. UM,

2068
01:47:46,000 --> 01:47:51,639
Speaker 1: I thought Postal service was strictly nine to five, you know, surprise, Yeah,

2069
01:47:51,720 --> 01:47:54,200
Speaker 1: but they know, they they just those have to be

2070
01:47:54,200 --> 01:47:57,759
Speaker 1: the distribution the us, they handle us from. Those aren't

2071
01:47:57,800 --> 01:48:00,840
Speaker 1: the door Those are not the the door to door

2072
01:48:00,840 --> 01:48:03,759
Speaker 1: guys doing the people. Those are the behind the scenes

2073
01:48:03,800 --> 01:48:10,360
Speaker 1: shipping terminal. Yeah, they're going. Yeah, because I'll tell you what, Um,

2074
01:48:12,120 --> 01:48:14,679
Speaker 1: I'll be happy to talk to any company, you know, whatever,

2075
01:48:14,800 --> 01:48:16,240
Speaker 1: you know, you can kind of make your mens. But

2076
01:48:16,520 --> 01:48:18,840
Speaker 1: the federal government I'm standing away from all. Just I

2077
01:48:18,880 --> 01:48:22,439
Speaker 1: don't know if you can even find one of these anywhere.

2078
01:48:23,479 --> 01:48:25,599
Speaker 1: But I mean, Steve, you and I are old enough

2079
01:48:25,640 --> 01:48:29,240
Speaker 1: to remember transistor radios. I don't know. I think they

2080
01:48:29,520 --> 01:48:32,160
Speaker 1: under a rock somewhere that you can find and just

2081
01:48:32,280 --> 01:48:34,960
Speaker 1: drop in your mail truck. Think about that. I don't

2082
01:48:35,000 --> 01:48:36,880
Speaker 1: even think you can buy. I don't know if you

2083
01:48:36,920 --> 01:48:40,400
Speaker 1: can find them anymore. Maybe somebody's got him online somewhere,

2084
01:48:40,800 --> 01:48:42,599
Speaker 1: like an old time radio, that's what I mean, Like

2085
01:48:42,640 --> 01:48:46,800
Speaker 1: a battery powered transistor radio that you can pull in

2086
01:48:46,840 --> 01:48:51,200
Speaker 1: the signal. Maybe. Um here, I've just been exalting this

2087
01:48:51,280 --> 01:48:54,680
Speaker 1: age in which we live, and where poor guy in

2088
01:48:54,680 --> 01:48:57,360
Speaker 1: to mail truck with the radio. He's got no radio.

2089
01:48:58,360 --> 01:49:00,920
Speaker 1: That's terrible. You can't even have an obsolete he can't

2090
01:49:00,920 --> 01:49:04,040
Speaker 1: even find an obsolete piece of electronics. Yeah. Wow, we're

2091
01:49:04,040 --> 01:49:06,840
Speaker 1: also asking for your keys to the game at eight

2092
01:49:06,840 --> 01:49:08,760
Speaker 1: oh three oh five fifty. Got an open line for

2093
01:49:08,760 --> 01:49:13,679
Speaker 1: you there one eight two five fifty. And I don't

2094
01:49:13,680 --> 01:49:16,960
Speaker 1: think we finished the first half of the tweet sheet

2095
01:49:17,040 --> 01:49:19,639
Speaker 1: with respect to keys to a builds victory. So I'm

2096
01:49:19,640 --> 01:49:21,360
Speaker 1: gonna go back to the top of the list there.

2097
01:49:21,920 --> 01:49:26,759
Speaker 1: And Adam says, the Bill secondary has to, if not stop,

2098
01:49:27,560 --> 01:49:32,360
Speaker 1: at least minimize the Chief's power down field. Otherwise Josh

2099
01:49:32,600 --> 01:49:34,880
Speaker 1: can have the game of his life and it still

2100
01:49:34,920 --> 01:49:37,320
Speaker 1: won't matter. I don't know if Josh has the game

2101
01:49:37,320 --> 01:49:41,120
Speaker 1: of his life it will matter. Yeah, but yeah, I

2102
01:49:41,160 --> 01:49:43,759
Speaker 1: get it. Yeah, I think I think some Bills fans

2103
01:49:43,760 --> 01:49:46,559
Speaker 1: are a little alarmed after seeing, you know, the forty

2104
01:49:46,600 --> 01:49:48,880
Speaker 1: two points getting hung on him. But there were some

2105
01:49:48,960 --> 01:49:52,600
Speaker 1: extenuating circumstances. I think we have to remember that the

2106
01:49:52,680 --> 01:49:57,960
Speaker 1: Titans scored three of their touchdowns on drive starts that

2107
01:49:58,080 --> 01:50:02,280
Speaker 1: started inside the Bill's red zone, right, I mean, yet,

2108
01:50:02,320 --> 01:50:06,040
Speaker 1: eighteen fourteen and twelve yards to go, it was on

2109
01:50:06,200 --> 01:50:09,120
Speaker 1: three scoring drive a minimum, it was nine points right away,

2110
01:50:09,240 --> 01:50:11,400
Speaker 1: and but they all turned them all into twenty one

2111
01:50:11,479 --> 01:50:13,840
Speaker 1: and four of their drives started at the Bill's thirty

2112
01:50:13,920 --> 01:50:16,000
Speaker 1: yard liner. Better and all of those were touched. That's

2113
01:50:16,040 --> 01:50:18,400
Speaker 1: twenty eight to the forty two points that they had. Yeah,

2114
01:50:18,439 --> 01:50:23,080
Speaker 1: so yes, there were some deficiencies on the defensive side

2115
01:50:23,120 --> 01:50:27,120
Speaker 1: of the ball and fingers and toes crossed that. You know,

2116
01:50:27,200 --> 01:50:30,320
Speaker 1: either Matt Milano or Trudavious White, who are both questionable

2117
01:50:30,439 --> 01:50:36,240
Speaker 1: entering this game, can somehow perform tonight. But we don't

2118
01:50:36,240 --> 01:50:39,479
Speaker 1: know it's it's it's a fifty fifty shot, so we'll

2119
01:50:39,520 --> 01:50:41,599
Speaker 1: have to see where it comes down and we'll probably

2120
01:50:41,600 --> 01:50:45,000
Speaker 1: find out in about an hour's time, a little over

2121
01:50:45,040 --> 01:50:46,960
Speaker 1: an hour's time, who the inactives are going to be

2122
01:50:47,240 --> 01:50:49,240
Speaker 1: for the Bills for this game tonight. Yeah. We also

2123
01:50:49,320 --> 01:50:51,200
Speaker 1: got some keys of the game for a Bill's victory

2124
01:50:51,240 --> 01:50:53,519
Speaker 1: from Adam l And this is an interesting take. I'd

2125
01:50:53,520 --> 01:50:56,439
Speaker 1: love a stonewall defensive performance, but I don't think great defense.

2126
01:50:56,800 --> 01:51:00,320
Speaker 1: Defensive play is this team's identity. The key to winning

2127
01:51:00,360 --> 01:51:02,320
Speaker 1: for me is Josh taking what the defense gives him.

2128
01:51:02,360 --> 01:51:06,920
Speaker 1: No throws to digs in triple coverage, slow methodical drives

2129
01:51:06,960 --> 01:51:09,680
Speaker 1: to keep Kansas City's offense off the field. And you

2130
01:51:09,760 --> 01:51:11,920
Speaker 1: forget too that if you're got to throw the ball

2131
01:51:11,920 --> 01:51:13,679
Speaker 1: sixty percent of time, you've got to complete a high

2132
01:51:13,680 --> 01:51:15,680
Speaker 1: percentage of him and stay on the football field. You

2133
01:51:15,720 --> 01:51:18,920
Speaker 1: can burn up just as much clock throwing the football

2134
01:51:18,960 --> 01:51:22,799
Speaker 1: as you do running it. I think whichever team plays

2135
01:51:22,840 --> 01:51:26,120
Speaker 1: the most mistake free is gonna win the football game,

2136
01:51:27,240 --> 01:51:30,479
Speaker 1: and then that goes I think with every game, because

2137
01:51:30,520 --> 01:51:33,679
Speaker 1: I do think, particularly in this case, these two teams

2138
01:51:33,840 --> 01:51:38,840
Speaker 1: are pretty evenly matched talent wise. I know that Pat

2139
01:51:38,840 --> 01:51:40,960
Speaker 1: Mahomes has been an MVP of the league and also

2140
01:51:41,000 --> 01:51:43,880
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl MVP in two different years, and Josh

2141
01:51:43,920 --> 01:51:47,960
Speaker 1: Allen has only just burst onto that conversation. But that's

2142
01:51:48,000 --> 01:51:52,800
Speaker 1: where he's at. The first this season that Josh is

2143
01:51:52,840 --> 01:51:57,880
Speaker 1: put together in twenty twenty is almost identical in statistics

2144
01:51:58,080 --> 01:52:02,840
Speaker 1: to mahomes season when he was MPP, So that's where

2145
01:52:02,840 --> 01:52:05,799
Speaker 1: they're at. So these two teams are pretty evenly matched.

2146
01:52:05,840 --> 01:52:08,120
Speaker 1: They're constructed kind of the same way. They both have

2147
01:52:08,520 --> 01:52:10,840
Speaker 1: dominant offenses where you know all of that stuff. So

2148
01:52:10,880 --> 01:52:14,800
Speaker 1: I think you're right. You can if you stay on

2149
01:52:14,800 --> 01:52:18,880
Speaker 1: the field offensive, whether you run it fifty fifty or

2150
01:52:18,920 --> 01:52:22,080
Speaker 1: sixty forty or throw it fifty fifty or sixty forty,

2151
01:52:22,960 --> 01:52:26,479
Speaker 1: the key is to finish drives, stay on the field,

2152
01:52:26,720 --> 01:52:30,120
Speaker 1: and minimize the other team's opportunity. From David on the

2153
01:52:30,160 --> 01:52:32,320
Speaker 1: tweet sheet, he says, the key has got to be

2154
01:52:32,360 --> 01:52:34,440
Speaker 1: Trey White. If he locks it up in our secondary

2155
01:52:34,439 --> 01:52:37,240
Speaker 1: puts together a solid game, we can win. Let me

2156
01:52:37,280 --> 01:52:41,240
Speaker 1: ask you this, Steve. Okay, we know that starting players

2157
01:52:41,680 --> 01:52:45,640
Speaker 1: Trudevious White, John Brown, Matt Milano, all of them are

2158
01:52:45,760 --> 01:52:49,000
Speaker 1: questionable for tonight's game. If you could only have one

2159
01:52:49,040 --> 01:52:52,880
Speaker 1: of those guys for tonight's game and they play wire

2160
01:52:52,920 --> 01:52:56,280
Speaker 1: to wire, are you picking Trey White, Matt Milano or

2161
01:52:56,360 --> 01:53:02,479
Speaker 1: John Brown? That's easy, But who do you think is

2162
01:53:02,520 --> 01:53:07,800
Speaker 1: most critical to helping the Bills win tonight? Gosh, isn't

2163
01:53:07,800 --> 01:53:10,760
Speaker 1: that tough? I'd almost It's really hard. I'm gonna say

2164
01:53:11,080 --> 01:53:13,040
Speaker 1: I get I see for me, it's either Trey White

2165
01:53:13,160 --> 01:53:16,000
Speaker 1: or John Brown, Okay, And I'm gonna I think I

2166
01:53:16,040 --> 01:53:18,720
Speaker 1: will say John Brown because I think that because you're

2167
01:53:18,760 --> 01:53:20,599
Speaker 1: thinking about keeping pace with it, I think you gotta

2168
01:53:20,640 --> 01:53:23,080
Speaker 1: keep pace with him. And I think this offense, given

2169
01:53:23,120 --> 01:53:25,320
Speaker 1: what it's done already in the league and this season,

2170
01:53:26,360 --> 01:53:28,000
Speaker 1: has every right to think, yeah, we can do that.

2171
01:53:28,920 --> 01:53:31,720
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna say John Brown. As you think, even

2172
01:53:31,760 --> 01:53:35,880
Speaker 1: if Tradavious White eliminates Tyreek Hill from the equation Chiefs

2173
01:53:35,880 --> 01:53:38,920
Speaker 1: can still score points. Matt Milano's in the game and

2174
01:53:38,960 --> 01:53:42,040
Speaker 1: he takes out Travis Kelsey, they still have other weapons

2175
01:53:42,080 --> 01:53:45,439
Speaker 1: to score points. So give me the other bullet in

2176
01:53:45,439 --> 01:53:48,200
Speaker 1: the chamber for the offense so we can keep pace

2177
01:53:48,280 --> 01:53:50,000
Speaker 1: with them on the scoreboard. That's kind of how you're

2178
01:53:50,000 --> 01:53:54,799
Speaker 1: seeing it. I was thinking that way too, um, because

2179
01:53:54,840 --> 01:53:57,520
Speaker 1: this is this is shaping up to be a shootout

2180
01:53:57,600 --> 01:54:01,040
Speaker 1: type game, so you might as well have have all

2181
01:54:01,080 --> 01:54:06,040
Speaker 1: your bullets on offense. And I think it's defense in

2182
01:54:06,080 --> 01:54:08,639
Speaker 1: this game is going to be about making one one play.

2183
01:54:08,840 --> 01:54:10,559
Speaker 1: You know, your whole night is going to be made

2184
01:54:10,560 --> 01:54:12,439
Speaker 1: by each guy on the team's gonna you know, he's

2185
01:54:12,479 --> 01:54:14,400
Speaker 1: gonna have that one tackle that saves a touchdown. He's

2186
01:54:14,400 --> 01:54:16,400
Speaker 1: gonna have that one tipped past that makes an interception

2187
01:54:16,520 --> 01:54:19,480
Speaker 1: or that makes an interception, or just a plane incompletion

2188
01:54:19,560 --> 01:54:21,760
Speaker 1: on a third down that you know that it could

2189
01:54:21,800 --> 01:54:25,760
Speaker 1: be that. I mean the guy who's the guys who

2190
01:54:25,800 --> 01:54:27,760
Speaker 1: look like they're gonna have the easy go away night,

2191
01:54:27,840 --> 01:54:29,960
Speaker 1: you know, like put their feet up, or the punters,

2192
01:54:31,320 --> 01:54:33,840
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, yeah, as long as you as

2193
01:54:33,840 --> 01:54:37,200
Speaker 1: long as Corey Burke has gets the laces away from

2194
01:54:37,240 --> 01:54:40,680
Speaker 1: the guy's foot. We're good. Let me throw this one

2195
01:54:40,720 --> 01:54:46,200
Speaker 1: at you. Okay, let's say Tredavious White plays tonight. Do

2196
01:54:46,240 --> 01:54:53,480
Speaker 1: you think cam Lewis could platoon with Josh Norman in

2197
01:54:53,640 --> 01:54:57,400
Speaker 1: light of the way he played last week against the Titans, which,

2198
01:54:57,440 --> 01:55:01,200
Speaker 1: by most accounts, including the defensive staff, was an encouraging

2199
01:55:01,280 --> 01:55:05,919
Speaker 1: performance from the first year player. I wouldn't be surprised

2200
01:55:06,000 --> 01:55:09,320
Speaker 1: if if, yeah, if he gets some snaps for Josh Norman.

2201
01:55:09,960 --> 01:55:12,120
Speaker 1: But I wouldn't say it's going to be the majority

2202
01:55:12,120 --> 01:55:13,720
Speaker 1: of s because the only reason I say that is

2203
01:55:13,760 --> 01:55:17,200
Speaker 1: if you remember, the plan for the Raiders game was

2204
01:55:17,240 --> 01:55:19,760
Speaker 1: for Levi Wallace to play two series and then Josh

2205
01:55:19,760 --> 01:55:22,080
Speaker 1: Norman plays one, so it was like a two thirds

2206
01:55:22,160 --> 01:55:27,360
Speaker 1: one third type divvy. The Chiefs are a little bit

2207
01:55:27,360 --> 01:55:29,080
Speaker 1: different animal. I think we can all agree to that.

2208
01:55:30,520 --> 01:55:33,800
Speaker 1: I'm just wondering, like cam Lewis got, I think he

2209
01:55:33,880 --> 01:55:36,800
Speaker 1: earned some stripes in that Titans game. From a run

2210
01:55:36,880 --> 01:55:39,880
Speaker 1: support perspective and from a coverage perspective, to a certain extent,

2211
01:55:39,920 --> 01:55:42,000
Speaker 1: he did not get undressed out there. He did not

2212
01:55:42,040 --> 01:55:44,320
Speaker 1: look like he did not belong. He did show up

2213
01:55:44,360 --> 01:55:45,920
Speaker 1: to me in the run game. I was like, wow,

2214
01:55:46,000 --> 01:55:48,400
Speaker 1: look at that. So he came up, and he came

2215
01:55:48,480 --> 01:55:52,240
Speaker 1: up with an attitude, an aggression, and fast. He got

2216
01:55:52,280 --> 01:55:54,160
Speaker 1: there quick. A couple of times in the run game

2217
01:55:54,160 --> 01:55:57,000
Speaker 1: where he flashed, I was like, wow, okay, because he's

2218
01:55:57,000 --> 01:56:00,440
Speaker 1: played with some confidence. If they can accentuate his ability

2219
01:56:00,440 --> 01:56:03,600
Speaker 1: to feel confident in what they're asking him to do. Yeah,

2220
01:56:03,640 --> 01:56:06,280
Speaker 1: I mean he's a hard nose kid from the tray. Yeah,

2221
01:56:06,400 --> 01:56:08,960
Speaker 1: it could be right. It could be that he does

2222
01:56:09,000 --> 01:56:12,800
Speaker 1: get one series to to Jordan to uh Norman's two

2223
01:56:13,000 --> 01:56:15,640
Speaker 1: you know like that. Yeah, and who knows, you know

2224
01:56:15,680 --> 01:56:18,680
Speaker 1: if if Trey even plays, does he play seventy plays

2225
01:56:18,760 --> 01:56:21,120
Speaker 1: or does he play forty five? They just want, you know,

2226
01:56:21,160 --> 01:56:23,520
Speaker 1: what if if something happened, if Trey can't go because

2227
01:56:23,520 --> 01:56:25,560
Speaker 1: it's that back you know, it's the back disease, right,

2228
01:56:25,600 --> 01:56:27,520
Speaker 1: I mean, who knows when that thing's gonna you know

2229
01:56:27,560 --> 01:56:28,800
Speaker 1: what I mean? You've had, right, have you ever had

2230
01:56:28,840 --> 01:56:32,360
Speaker 1: back problems? Like not terrible, but on a couple of occasions,

2231
01:56:32,400 --> 01:56:35,760
Speaker 1: it is debilitating. It's debilitating when it hurts, and it's

2232
01:56:35,800 --> 01:56:41,880
Speaker 1: also it just it's also feels you're full of anxiety

2233
01:56:41,920 --> 01:56:43,600
Speaker 1: because you don't know if the thing's gonna pop out

2234
01:56:43,600 --> 01:56:47,680
Speaker 1: again if it does right, well, yeah, you're if you

2235
01:56:47,760 --> 01:56:51,520
Speaker 1: haven't really had chronic back problems, you're just trying to

2236
01:56:51,520 --> 01:56:53,600
Speaker 1: go about your day and you don't realize how much

2237
01:56:53,600 --> 01:56:56,880
Speaker 1: you use your back right and going upstairs turning the

2238
01:56:57,720 --> 01:57:00,160
Speaker 1: sub most subtle movement lifting a leg to go up

2239
01:57:00,160 --> 01:57:03,560
Speaker 1: a step right, like right down to one knee right.

2240
01:57:03,600 --> 01:57:07,960
Speaker 1: So that's yeah, that could be. And I'm sure that

2241
01:57:08,000 --> 01:57:10,520
Speaker 1: they've had these conversations with Tredevis. That's why you get

2242
01:57:10,560 --> 01:57:14,080
Speaker 1: to this point. If Cam Louise is up because Tredavious White,

2243
01:57:14,480 --> 01:57:16,560
Speaker 1: you know, is afraid day he's gonna tweak it again,

2244
01:57:17,560 --> 01:57:20,720
Speaker 1: then that's the reason he's up, not because he's gonna,

2245
01:57:20,960 --> 01:57:23,880
Speaker 1: you know, start taking over for Josh Norman. From Steve

2246
01:57:24,080 --> 01:57:27,040
Speaker 1: on the tweet sheet, there is a janitor's key chain

2247
01:57:27,160 --> 01:57:29,320
Speaker 1: full of keys to this game. But if I have

2248
01:57:29,400 --> 01:57:32,720
Speaker 1: to pick one, it would be not turning the ball over.

2249
01:57:33,080 --> 01:57:36,040
Speaker 1: We saw what happened against the Titans when turning the

2250
01:57:36,080 --> 01:57:41,320
Speaker 1: ball over. Well, that is true. I think it was

2251
01:57:41,400 --> 01:57:43,520
Speaker 1: compounded by the fact that the Bills didn't get any

2252
01:57:43,520 --> 01:57:47,720
Speaker 1: turnovers of their own. Takeaways. I mean, if your quarterback

2253
01:57:47,920 --> 01:57:51,120
Speaker 1: or one of your offensive players makes a mistake and

2254
01:57:51,280 --> 01:57:54,200
Speaker 1: loses the ball and the other team comes down and

2255
01:57:54,240 --> 01:57:56,560
Speaker 1: puts points on the board, which the Chiefs are pretty

2256
01:57:56,600 --> 01:58:00,280
Speaker 1: darn good at. You gotta get some of your own

2257
01:58:00,440 --> 01:58:04,000
Speaker 1: to try to even the even the score there and

2258
01:58:04,080 --> 01:58:06,480
Speaker 1: give your offense a couple of extra opportunities to make

2259
01:58:06,560 --> 01:58:10,120
Speaker 1: up for it. So, yes, turnovers are a key every week.

2260
01:58:10,120 --> 01:58:11,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that goes without saying. It is

2261
01:58:11,800 --> 01:58:17,040
Speaker 1: the single It is the single greatest equalizer or difference

2262
01:58:17,080 --> 01:58:20,920
Speaker 1: maker in NFL football. I mean the numbers bear that

2263
01:58:21,000 --> 01:58:25,200
Speaker 1: out every single year. It's the turnovers, a catastrophic mistake

2264
01:58:25,280 --> 01:58:29,960
Speaker 1: that always bites you. And yeah, especially with offenses of

2265
01:58:30,040 --> 01:58:32,720
Speaker 1: this caliber tonight, it's yeah, if if either one of

2266
01:58:32,720 --> 01:58:35,800
Speaker 1: these teams turns it over, it gets minus two on

2267
01:58:35,840 --> 01:58:39,240
Speaker 1: the turnover chart, they're gonna They're gonna lose. They're gonna lose.

2268
01:58:39,400 --> 01:58:40,840
Speaker 1: All Right, We have to take a break. But when

2269
01:58:40,840 --> 01:58:42,680
Speaker 1: we return more of your comments on the tweet sheet

2270
01:58:42,720 --> 01:58:46,120
Speaker 1: and maybe a little bit of NFL true false, as

2271
01:58:46,640 --> 01:58:50,640
Speaker 1: we might be assessing who the greatest threat to the

2272
01:58:50,680 --> 01:58:53,760
Speaker 1: Bills in the AFC East might be, and the answer

2273
01:58:53,840 --> 01:58:56,400
Speaker 1: may not be who you think it is. We'll talk

2274
01:58:56,440 --> 01:58:58,800
Speaker 1: about that when we return here on One Bills Live,

2275
01:58:58,880 --> 01:59:01,320
Speaker 1: presented by Collid of Health. This is Buffalo Bills Radio,

2276
01:59:12,960 --> 01:59:16,120
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker, final half hour of a game

2277
01:59:16,240 --> 01:59:20,240
Speaker 1: day edition of One Bills Live. Kick off for the

2278
01:59:20,280 --> 01:59:24,240
Speaker 1: Bills and Chiefs two and a half hours away and

2279
01:59:24,600 --> 01:59:28,000
Speaker 1: ticking down as people are pretty fired up for this game,

2280
01:59:28,000 --> 01:59:30,680
Speaker 1: and you can understand why a lot of people expecting

2281
01:59:30,720 --> 01:59:34,800
Speaker 1: a shootout type affair, although hopefully the Bills defense has

2282
01:59:34,840 --> 01:59:37,920
Speaker 1: something to say about that. But back to the tweet

2283
01:59:37,960 --> 01:59:40,560
Speaker 1: sheep brought to you by Corrigan moving systems from Butch

2284
01:59:41,120 --> 01:59:43,760
Speaker 1: on the east Side. He says, the Bills need to

2285
01:59:43,800 --> 01:59:47,960
Speaker 1: play their style of play. Don't be scared about the Chiefs.

2286
01:59:48,400 --> 01:59:51,680
Speaker 1: Let them be scared of you, screen them to death

2287
01:59:51,680 --> 01:59:55,600
Speaker 1: and play defensive end. Daryl Johnson, you will win. Love

2288
01:59:55,640 --> 02:00:00,280
Speaker 1: you guys, Daryl Johnsons, Darryl Johnson, Steve getting a shout

2289
02:00:00,280 --> 02:00:02,520
Speaker 1: out from Bam Johnson. I'm telling you, like if the

2290
02:00:02,560 --> 02:00:05,520
Speaker 1: Tom Pella Sero report is accurate and Trent Murphy and

2291
02:00:05,600 --> 02:00:09,520
Speaker 1: he's Harrison Phillips, are you know healthy scratches and inactive

2292
02:00:09,560 --> 02:00:13,400
Speaker 1: tonight Daryl Johnson will get more playing too. Who plays

2293
02:00:13,480 --> 02:00:18,960
Speaker 1: for Daryl for Trent Murphy on rundowndowns. I think it's

2294
02:00:18,960 --> 02:00:22,040
Speaker 1: AJ and then I think Darryl rotates in in some

2295
02:00:22,120 --> 02:00:25,320
Speaker 1: of the past rush packages. Yeah, I think that's probably

2296
02:00:25,360 --> 02:00:28,120
Speaker 1: how it goes, right. Yeah, I mean from what we

2297
02:00:28,160 --> 02:00:31,640
Speaker 1: saw last week though, he's a little sturdier. He's two sixty. Yeah,

2298
02:00:31,680 --> 02:00:34,960
Speaker 1: he's big. He's they say to say he's listed two

2299
02:00:34,960 --> 02:00:39,240
Speaker 1: eighty five at Iowa. Yeah. Um, I think this is

2300
02:00:39,240 --> 02:00:42,000
Speaker 1: a It's a game where if your Buffalo bills after

2301
02:00:42,000 --> 02:00:43,760
Speaker 1: you went through what you went through last Tuesday night

2302
02:00:43,800 --> 02:00:45,360
Speaker 1: and all the stuff leading up to it, and the

2303
02:00:45,440 --> 02:00:47,440
Speaker 1: uncertainty is whether you're even going to play or not,

2304
02:00:47,480 --> 02:00:49,120
Speaker 1: and all you want to come out and you want

2305
02:00:49,120 --> 02:00:54,920
Speaker 1: to execute and just not get seven pre snap penalties.

2306
02:00:55,280 --> 02:00:58,080
Speaker 1: You don't want a tipped interception, you don't want to

2307
02:00:58,160 --> 02:01:03,080
Speaker 1: coughed up kick return. You start there, yeah, and you

2308
02:01:03,080 --> 02:01:05,920
Speaker 1: don't want four dropped passes in the first half. If

2309
02:01:05,960 --> 02:01:07,800
Speaker 1: you start there and get do away with all of

2310
02:01:07,840 --> 02:01:10,400
Speaker 1: that stuff, you're off to a much better start. You're

2311
02:01:10,400 --> 02:01:11,920
Speaker 1: gonna have a much better result than you did a

2312
02:01:11,920 --> 02:01:15,000
Speaker 1: week ago. And this just came down. They've elevated two

2313
02:01:15,040 --> 02:01:18,480
Speaker 1: defensive linemen from the practice squad, Brian Cox Junior and

2314
02:01:18,800 --> 02:01:23,120
Speaker 1: Justin Zimmer. Justin Zimmers played already, yes, he was up

2315
02:01:23,160 --> 02:01:26,760
Speaker 1: early in the season. Then moving down to the practice sack, right,

2316
02:01:27,240 --> 02:01:30,160
Speaker 1: Brian Cox, who I thought had a really good training camp,

2317
02:01:31,920 --> 02:01:35,040
Speaker 1: has been called up as well. So they may in

2318
02:01:35,120 --> 02:01:39,560
Speaker 1: fact have nine defensive lineman dressed after all. Otherwise, why

2319
02:01:39,560 --> 02:01:42,760
Speaker 1: are you calling those guys up from the practice squad? Right? Yeah,

2320
02:01:42,920 --> 02:01:48,920
Speaker 1: And and think about this brownie and I'm not I'm no, well,

2321
02:01:49,200 --> 02:01:53,560
Speaker 1: not anything. Think about the attitude that Brian Cox Junior

2322
02:01:53,640 --> 02:01:55,720
Speaker 1: is gonna have coming into this game, that Justin Zimmer's

2323
02:01:55,720 --> 02:01:58,000
Speaker 1: gonna have coming into this game. You talk about getting

2324
02:01:58,040 --> 02:02:01,280
Speaker 1: guys who are energized about an opportunity against the world champions.

2325
02:02:01,880 --> 02:02:04,720
Speaker 1: That's it. And if you want to make a statement

2326
02:02:04,800 --> 02:02:07,600
Speaker 1: about where your team was a week ago mentally, and

2327
02:02:07,760 --> 02:02:11,240
Speaker 1: plug in some guys who will absolutely be out of

2328
02:02:11,280 --> 02:02:14,280
Speaker 1: the mouth. They will be out of their minds tonight.

2329
02:02:15,200 --> 02:02:17,480
Speaker 1: Bring some guys off the practice squad, plugging me in

2330
02:02:17,480 --> 02:02:21,160
Speaker 1: and say, guys, you're going against a depleted offensive line.

2331
02:02:21,160 --> 02:02:24,480
Speaker 1: They've got their starting guards out of the game. This

2332
02:02:24,560 --> 02:02:28,640
Speaker 1: is your chance. Go. I think it's Brian Cox is

2333
02:02:28,640 --> 02:02:30,879
Speaker 1: gonna be playing like his Harizon Fire. It's a pretty

2334
02:02:31,000 --> 02:02:32,840
Speaker 1: good move if you ask me, if those guys are

2335
02:02:32,840 --> 02:02:35,120
Speaker 1: actually active well. And this is something that we saw

2336
02:02:35,240 --> 02:02:38,680
Speaker 1: certainly more of in year one under Sean McDermott, where

2337
02:02:38,760 --> 02:02:43,480
Speaker 1: that bottom of the roster churn was happening. You know,

2338
02:02:43,560 --> 02:02:47,600
Speaker 1: the fifty first through fifty third player on the roster.

2339
02:02:47,680 --> 02:02:49,560
Speaker 1: They were churning a lot of those players. Now there's

2340
02:02:49,600 --> 02:02:52,200
Speaker 1: a lot less of that turnover now as the roster

2341
02:02:52,280 --> 02:02:55,280
Speaker 1: has become more talented and more established, but they're still

2342
02:02:55,320 --> 02:02:58,600
Speaker 1: giving some opportunities to practice squad players. And this is

2343
02:02:58,600 --> 02:03:01,480
Speaker 1: the first instance we've seen a season where they're doing

2344
02:03:01,520 --> 02:03:03,880
Speaker 1: it despite the fact that they have more than enough

2345
02:03:03,920 --> 02:03:07,120
Speaker 1: healthy players at that position and guys who have played

2346
02:03:07,160 --> 02:03:09,080
Speaker 1: pretty well at times. For this, I mean, they're looking

2347
02:03:09,120 --> 02:03:13,440
Speaker 1: for different answers. Clear Harrison Phillips and Trent Murphy. I mean,

2348
02:03:13,440 --> 02:03:15,960
Speaker 1: those are two guys that have been when they were healthy,

2349
02:03:16,520 --> 02:03:21,600
Speaker 1: absolute in they were on the field, they were never scratted,

2350
02:03:21,720 --> 02:03:26,240
Speaker 1: healthy scratches. Yeah, So yeah, that says something about it,

2351
02:03:26,240 --> 02:03:28,560
Speaker 1: and it also maybe does that give us for all

2352
02:03:28,560 --> 02:03:31,120
Speaker 1: the rabbit holes we've been going down today about what

2353
02:03:31,200 --> 02:03:33,800
Speaker 1: may happen when might not happen. What's it say about

2354
02:03:33,840 --> 02:03:36,120
Speaker 1: Tradavious White's health? You know, what's it say about all

2355
02:03:36,160 --> 02:03:38,240
Speaker 1: these other guys? That's saying these guys are gonna be

2356
02:03:38,320 --> 02:03:40,320
Speaker 1: if they are going to go with nine defensive linemen

2357
02:03:40,400 --> 02:03:43,880
Speaker 1: like they have been, if they're gonna if they are

2358
02:03:44,000 --> 02:03:47,800
Speaker 1: gonna tighten up their rotation on the defensive line, why

2359
02:03:47,800 --> 02:03:50,240
Speaker 1: are they bringing two defensive linemen up, two different ones.

2360
02:03:51,400 --> 02:03:53,760
Speaker 1: Maybe they're just gonna change it, you know. So I

2361
02:03:53,960 --> 02:03:56,800
Speaker 1: don't know what this says about where they're going here,

2362
02:03:56,840 --> 02:04:00,160
Speaker 1: because when we saw the report from Town Pelaser that

2363
02:04:00,200 --> 02:04:03,240
Speaker 1: Tren Murphy and Harrison Phillips were going to be healthy scratches,

2364
02:04:03,720 --> 02:04:07,160
Speaker 1: we thought, okay, maybe they only go seven dressed and

2365
02:04:07,440 --> 02:04:09,960
Speaker 1: tighten up the right up the rotation. But now you've

2366
02:04:09,960 --> 02:04:12,320
Speaker 1: brought up two from the practice squad and Brian Cox

2367
02:04:12,400 --> 02:04:15,360
Speaker 1: Junior and Justin Zimmer and you're not doing that unless

2368
02:04:15,360 --> 02:04:19,840
Speaker 1: they're dressing so right, So you're probably gonna have nine.

2369
02:04:20,320 --> 02:04:23,160
Speaker 1: The question is do they not play as much? And yeah,

2370
02:04:23,160 --> 02:04:24,920
Speaker 1: the thought was they got some guys nicked up like

2371
02:04:24,960 --> 02:04:27,120
Speaker 1: Matt Milano, and they got to Tdavious White who are

2372
02:04:27,200 --> 02:04:29,240
Speaker 1: questioned marks and John Brown who are question marks, So

2373
02:04:29,280 --> 02:04:31,680
Speaker 1: you thought, if they were gonna deactivate those guys, who

2374
02:04:31,680 --> 02:04:34,080
Speaker 1: were they going to activate in case one of those

2375
02:04:34,160 --> 02:04:36,320
Speaker 1: questionable guys went for a minute and then was out

2376
02:04:36,440 --> 02:04:38,840
Speaker 1: for the rest of the game. So all of that

2377
02:04:38,960 --> 02:04:40,440
Speaker 1: was a lot of moving parts. Yeah, there's a lot

2378
02:04:40,440 --> 02:04:41,760
Speaker 1: of moving parts that we're gonna have to wait for

2379
02:04:41,760 --> 02:04:44,160
Speaker 1: the inactives to come down to see exactly where the

2380
02:04:44,200 --> 02:04:46,280
Speaker 1: state of the Bill's roster is, because at this point

2381
02:04:47,240 --> 02:04:49,880
Speaker 1: there's a lot of question marks about guys who could

2382
02:04:49,920 --> 02:04:53,600
Speaker 1: really really contribute but who may not be able to

2383
02:04:53,760 --> 02:04:56,880
Speaker 1: fully or who may be given it a shot, and

2384
02:04:57,640 --> 02:04:59,360
Speaker 1: they're worried about being able to make it for a

2385
02:04:59,400 --> 02:05:01,720
Speaker 1: full sixty minutes, and they need somebody to cover for

2386
02:05:01,800 --> 02:05:04,720
Speaker 1: him if they indeed cannot. From James on the tweet,

2387
02:05:04,760 --> 02:05:07,240
Speaker 1: she'd hit Mahomes or at least make him feel uncomfortable

2388
02:05:07,240 --> 02:05:10,120
Speaker 1: in the pocket. Josh needs to keep his emotions in check.

2389
02:05:10,480 --> 02:05:12,680
Speaker 1: The Bills that he needs some turnovers to give the

2390
02:05:12,720 --> 02:05:15,880
Speaker 1: offense some short fields. You know, I was watching when

2391
02:05:15,960 --> 02:05:18,440
Speaker 1: I was watching that Titans game and how it unfolded,

2392
02:05:18,840 --> 02:05:21,160
Speaker 1: you know, with the turnovers and what it did to

2393
02:05:21,240 --> 02:05:25,680
Speaker 1: the scoreboard. The first game I thought of was the

2394
02:05:25,840 --> 02:05:29,000
Speaker 1: game in Minnesota a couple of years ago. That was

2395
02:05:29,000 --> 02:05:31,919
Speaker 1: the Josh Allen Hurdle game. Yeah, but if you remember,

2396
02:05:32,600 --> 02:05:37,360
Speaker 1: the Bills sacked Kirk Cousins, forced to fumble on two

2397
02:05:37,360 --> 02:05:39,880
Speaker 1: of the first three possessions, and they had two touchdowns

2398
02:05:39,880 --> 02:05:43,240
Speaker 1: off short fields and it was like fourteen seventeen, nothing

2399
02:05:43,360 --> 02:05:46,480
Speaker 1: like ten minutes into the game, and it was just done,

2400
02:05:46,520 --> 02:05:49,240
Speaker 1: deal Lucille, like just game over already. And that was

2401
02:05:49,280 --> 02:05:52,240
Speaker 1: an owing two Bills team going there, and they were

2402
02:05:52,240 --> 02:05:56,360
Speaker 1: owing two, like seventy two to three or something like that. Right,

2403
02:05:56,560 --> 02:06:00,919
Speaker 1: It just magnifies how quickly the game turns on turnovers,

2404
02:06:01,000 --> 02:06:03,360
Speaker 1: especially when you commit him deep in your own territory.

2405
02:06:03,400 --> 02:06:05,120
Speaker 1: And that was the first game that came to mind.

2406
02:06:05,440 --> 02:06:07,440
Speaker 1: Just watching that Titans game go the wrong way for

2407
02:06:07,480 --> 02:06:09,280
Speaker 1: the Bills, I was like, you know what, this is

2408
02:06:09,280 --> 02:06:11,920
Speaker 1: a lot like that Minnesota game where they forced those

2409
02:06:11,920 --> 02:06:14,360
Speaker 1: fumbles early, got up on a scoreboard, you know, Josh

2410
02:06:14,440 --> 02:06:18,240
Speaker 1: running in a touchdown, hitting the pylon, you know, and

2411
02:06:18,240 --> 02:06:20,480
Speaker 1: then they come out and they get another sack fumble

2412
02:06:20,520 --> 02:06:23,400
Speaker 1: and you know, Cousins costs the ball up again, and

2413
02:06:23,400 --> 02:06:25,640
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, the Bills are rolling and there

2414
02:06:25,680 --> 02:06:28,800
Speaker 1: was no way from Minnesota to stop that train. Same

2415
02:06:28,880 --> 02:06:30,680
Speaker 1: kind of thing. So yeah, if the Bills defense can

2416
02:06:30,720 --> 02:06:34,480
Speaker 1: do that, I'm all for it. Tonight from Rick turnovers,

2417
02:06:34,640 --> 02:06:36,800
Speaker 1: tonight's weather forecast could cause a lot of fumbles and

2418
02:06:36,840 --> 02:06:38,920
Speaker 1: bad passes a good point. It's been wet weather. The

2419
02:06:39,000 --> 02:06:40,520
Speaker 1: more we can keep the homes off the field, the

2420
02:06:40,520 --> 02:06:44,720
Speaker 1: better our chances of winning. From Joe, better offensive balance,

2421
02:06:45,160 --> 02:06:47,200
Speaker 1: activate Lee Smith to help the run game, I'm in

2422
02:06:47,240 --> 02:06:50,000
Speaker 1: favor of that, which in turn could help the run

2423
02:06:50,040 --> 02:06:52,200
Speaker 1: game and in turn help the play action pass game.

2424
02:06:52,840 --> 02:06:56,440
Speaker 1: And from Bill's backpack, I think a key to today's

2425
02:06:56,440 --> 02:06:58,960
Speaker 1: game is sitting back and playing more zone. Saw the

2426
02:06:59,000 --> 02:07:01,280
Speaker 1: Raiders defense throw. I've been sitting back and taking away

2427
02:07:01,280 --> 02:07:03,480
Speaker 1: in a home's deep ball. The Bills last week played

2428
02:07:03,480 --> 02:07:05,320
Speaker 1: a lot of man, and I think it hurt us. Yeah,

2429
02:07:05,320 --> 02:07:08,200
Speaker 1: they did play a surprising amount of man last week.

2430
02:07:08,280 --> 02:07:11,120
Speaker 1: Without your Davious White and without Levi Wallace. You had

2431
02:07:11,120 --> 02:07:13,800
Speaker 1: your third and fourth corners out there filling first and

2432
02:07:13,880 --> 02:07:16,520
Speaker 1: second roles, and you played a lot of man. Even still,

2433
02:07:17,040 --> 02:07:18,920
Speaker 1: that did surprise me a little bit. Yeah, it did

2434
02:07:18,920 --> 02:07:20,600
Speaker 1: me too, And I thought they probably did it as

2435
02:07:20,600 --> 02:07:22,919
Speaker 1: a response to trying to get pressure on Ryan Tannehill

2436
02:07:22,960 --> 02:07:25,080
Speaker 1: to make him a little bit more uncomfortable. And just

2437
02:07:25,280 --> 02:07:27,560
Speaker 1: if you couldn't, they couldn't get home, which may be

2438
02:07:27,640 --> 02:07:30,960
Speaker 1: why they're shuffling the defensive line this week. If you

2439
02:07:31,000 --> 02:07:33,000
Speaker 1: do if you do one thing, you're gonna have to

2440
02:07:33,000 --> 02:07:35,480
Speaker 1: get some help in another area. It means if if

2441
02:07:35,520 --> 02:07:37,680
Speaker 1: you're gonna go man, it means you have extra guys

2442
02:07:37,680 --> 02:07:40,480
Speaker 1: to pressure. If you're not gonna do get the pressure

2443
02:07:41,240 --> 02:07:45,160
Speaker 1: with extra guys. Yeah, yeah, you better cover better so

2444
02:07:47,240 --> 02:07:49,400
Speaker 1: that get Like I say that that game last week,

2445
02:07:50,000 --> 02:07:51,360
Speaker 1: I kind of have to throw it out of my

2446
02:07:51,400 --> 02:07:54,160
Speaker 1: evaluation of both the Titans and the Bills because of

2447
02:07:54,200 --> 02:08:00,720
Speaker 1: the differences about it and the you know, the uniqueness

2448
02:08:00,800 --> 02:08:03,560
Speaker 1: of the situation that they ended up playing on a Tuesday. Yeah,

2449
02:08:03,720 --> 02:08:06,520
Speaker 1: So I'll just I'll just reserve judgment on the Titans

2450
02:08:06,520 --> 02:08:09,000
Speaker 1: and the Bills in regards to the ten Tennessee game.

2451
02:08:09,080 --> 02:08:11,040
Speaker 1: Let's do a little NFL True Falls here while we

2452
02:08:11,040 --> 02:08:13,120
Speaker 1: have a few minutes brought to you by Yancy's Fancy,

2453
02:08:13,240 --> 02:08:16,640
Speaker 1: Yancey's Fancy, New York's artists and Cheese Steve. The Dolphins

2454
02:08:16,640 --> 02:08:18,560
Speaker 1: are the biggest threat to the Bills in the AFC

2455
02:08:18,760 --> 02:08:21,560
Speaker 1: he's true or false. They are now three and three

2456
02:08:21,640 --> 02:08:24,360
Speaker 1: on the season after their twenty four nothing shut out

2457
02:08:24,400 --> 02:08:27,760
Speaker 1: of the hapless Jets, the windless Jets. Where do you

2458
02:08:27,840 --> 02:08:31,600
Speaker 1: stand on that one? This week? I say true. This week,

2459
02:08:31,640 --> 02:08:34,360
Speaker 1: you gotta say true. They're playing better they of course

2460
02:08:34,360 --> 02:08:36,400
Speaker 1: the Yeah, I know it's the Jets, and we can all,

2461
02:08:36,560 --> 02:08:39,160
Speaker 1: you know, chuckle under our breath at the misfortunes to

2462
02:08:39,160 --> 02:08:43,560
Speaker 1: that franchise. Whatever, Dolphins are playing better every week. They

2463
02:08:43,560 --> 02:08:48,880
Speaker 1: are playing better every week, and that is not by chance.

2464
02:08:48,960 --> 02:08:51,640
Speaker 1: They did that last week. They finished last year. They

2465
02:08:51,680 --> 02:08:53,920
Speaker 1: finished the season a much better football team than they

2466
02:08:53,960 --> 02:09:00,400
Speaker 1: started it and fits as he's quintessentially playing the way

2467
02:09:00,440 --> 02:09:02,680
Speaker 1: he has always played, getting the most out of the

2468
02:09:02,680 --> 02:09:07,680
Speaker 1: guys around him. And I think Brian Flores is a

2469
02:09:07,720 --> 02:09:11,640
Speaker 1: really good coach. So coach, yeah, I think right now,

2470
02:09:11,680 --> 02:09:14,840
Speaker 1: I say yes, this week that is true. I would

2471
02:09:14,840 --> 02:09:17,320
Speaker 1: say true as well. They're ahead of the Patriots in

2472
02:09:17,320 --> 02:09:21,480
Speaker 1: the standings, and they played the Bills tough in that

2473
02:09:21,600 --> 02:09:24,040
Speaker 1: first game. They didn't have it all together. They didn't

2474
02:09:24,040 --> 02:09:26,800
Speaker 1: have an answer trying to play man coverage against the Bills,

2475
02:09:26,840 --> 02:09:29,880
Speaker 1: but they were right there. Second one, Patriots lack of

2476
02:09:30,040 --> 02:09:34,520
Speaker 1: star power Steve at wide receiver is hurting them the

2477
02:09:34,640 --> 02:09:37,800
Speaker 1: most true or false. Lack of star power and wide

2478
02:09:37,800 --> 02:09:42,000
Speaker 1: receiver the biggest Patriots problem, I'd say false. I think

2479
02:09:42,040 --> 02:09:44,760
Speaker 1: the biggest problem is their offensive line is and the

2480
02:09:44,800 --> 02:09:48,280
Speaker 1: fact that their defensive got gutted from the talented guys

2481
02:09:48,320 --> 02:09:50,600
Speaker 1: they had on it a year ago. They haven't been

2482
02:09:51,120 --> 02:09:53,560
Speaker 1: they haven't been below five hundred since two thousand and two,

2483
02:09:53,600 --> 02:09:55,160
Speaker 1: this deep end of the season. Yeah, I know, I

2484
02:09:55,240 --> 02:09:58,640
Speaker 1: was surprising to see and I you know, we've we've

2485
02:09:58,640 --> 02:10:00,680
Speaker 1: seen him. We've all been first hand witness to it.

2486
02:10:00,760 --> 02:10:02,920
Speaker 1: So I think there is some There are some issues

2487
02:10:02,920 --> 02:10:05,560
Speaker 1: in New England, but I'm not sticking a fork in

2488
02:10:05,640 --> 02:10:08,320
Speaker 1: those guys yet. No, when they get some guys healthy

2489
02:10:08,320 --> 02:10:10,600
Speaker 1: and their offensive line comes together, Cam Newton will play

2490
02:10:10,600 --> 02:10:12,120
Speaker 1: a lot better and they'll be tough to be there

2491
02:10:12,280 --> 02:10:14,680
Speaker 1: like they always are. There is an alarming lack though

2492
02:10:15,160 --> 02:10:19,640
Speaker 1: of separation talent at the receiver position. Guys are just

2493
02:10:20,000 --> 02:10:24,400
Speaker 1: flat out not getting open. The old line is a problem. Andrews.

2494
02:10:24,400 --> 02:10:26,920
Speaker 1: Their center was out yesterday. Joe Thuney, the guard had

2495
02:10:26,960 --> 02:10:29,800
Speaker 1: to fill in for him, and he had a snap

2496
02:10:29,840 --> 02:10:32,240
Speaker 1: over Cam's head that he had to go run down,

2497
02:10:33,400 --> 02:10:35,840
Speaker 1: but guys are not getting open and it's impacting the

2498
02:10:35,880 --> 02:10:39,800
Speaker 1: pass protection because there's no separation. There's nowhere to Cam

2499
02:10:39,880 --> 02:10:43,520
Speaker 1: to throw the football. So in this particular instance, it's

2500
02:10:43,520 --> 02:10:46,840
Speaker 1: a chicken and egg thing. I'm gonna say yes, because

2501
02:10:46,880 --> 02:10:51,600
Speaker 1: outside of Julian Edelman, nobody has really shown an ability

2502
02:10:51,680 --> 02:10:54,360
Speaker 1: to get open on a consistent basis, and they are

2503
02:10:54,400 --> 02:10:57,040
Speaker 1: sorely lacking a talent a tight end as well. And

2504
02:10:57,120 --> 02:11:00,800
Speaker 1: if you notice, over the history of the Patriots drafting,

2505
02:11:01,520 --> 02:11:05,920
Speaker 1: they have been largely unsuccessful in drafting receiver talent. Most

2506
02:11:05,920 --> 02:11:08,960
Speaker 1: of their most recent receiver talent has been acquired via

2507
02:11:09,120 --> 02:11:15,160
Speaker 1: trade for free agent signing. So, yeah, they say struggle

2508
02:11:15,200 --> 02:11:18,640
Speaker 1: with that position identifying what they need. They steal talent

2509
02:11:18,760 --> 02:11:21,120
Speaker 1: more than they drafted, you know what I mean, especially

2510
02:11:21,160 --> 02:11:23,520
Speaker 1: at wide receiver. Right, they get guys with a little

2511
02:11:23,560 --> 02:11:25,560
Speaker 1: something left in the tank who's got a certain skill

2512
02:11:25,600 --> 02:11:28,000
Speaker 1: set that they like and they exploit it. Now, certainly

2513
02:11:28,080 --> 02:11:31,280
Speaker 1: Tom Brady helped them do that more so, probably than

2514
02:11:31,400 --> 02:11:34,200
Speaker 1: what Cam Newton would give you in that regard, But

2515
02:11:34,360 --> 02:11:38,360
Speaker 1: they have been very good at getting the most out

2516
02:11:38,400 --> 02:11:41,200
Speaker 1: of guys who have been thrown to the scrap heap

2517
02:11:41,320 --> 02:11:43,680
Speaker 1: by somebody else. All right, that's NFL true false. We're

2518
02:11:43,720 --> 02:11:45,360
Speaker 1: back with What If We Learned? Next here on One

2519
02:11:45,400 --> 02:11:48,200
Speaker 1: Bill's Live, presented by Kalida Health. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio

2520
02:12:03,000 --> 02:12:05,560
Speaker 1: Time for What If We Learned? Brought to you by Skyworks,

2521
02:12:05,600 --> 02:12:09,600
Speaker 1: the official construction equipment rental company of the Buffalo Bills.

2522
02:12:09,640 --> 02:12:13,400
Speaker 1: We had Chiefs radio analyst Dane and Hughes on today

2523
02:12:13,640 --> 02:12:15,680
Speaker 1: to kind of give us the four one one on

2524
02:12:15,800 --> 02:12:18,480
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. Here's what he had to say about tonight's game.

2525
02:12:19,600 --> 02:12:23,280
Speaker 1: When you talk about this matchup tonight, you have almost

2526
02:12:23,360 --> 02:12:28,120
Speaker 1: identical type of production against blitz versus not Blitz. So

2527
02:12:28,560 --> 02:12:31,640
Speaker 1: each defensive coordinator is going to have to be crafty

2528
02:12:31,800 --> 02:12:35,480
Speaker 1: and how they're gonna approach very talented quarterbacks this evening

2529
02:12:35,520 --> 02:12:39,920
Speaker 1: because guys Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes, they don't throw interceptions

2530
02:12:39,920 --> 02:12:42,320
Speaker 1: against the Blitz. They've seen to handle it very well.

2531
02:12:42,360 --> 02:12:46,080
Speaker 1: They're very mobile at the pocket. But you know as

2532
02:12:46,080 --> 02:12:47,800
Speaker 1: well as I do, we've been around the game for

2533
02:12:48,000 --> 02:12:50,600
Speaker 1: a long time. If you can pressure a quarterback with

2534
02:12:50,760 --> 02:12:53,520
Speaker 1: three or four guys, I don't care what package you

2535
02:12:53,600 --> 02:12:56,000
Speaker 1: run in the back end, you're probably going to be

2536
02:12:56,040 --> 02:13:01,280
Speaker 1: successful more times than not that was Dan and hughes Ane. Yeah,

2537
02:13:01,320 --> 02:13:05,600
Speaker 1: and it's interesting that the numbers for Alan and for

2538
02:13:05,760 --> 02:13:09,400
Speaker 1: Mahomes against the Blitz are pretty comparable. Both of them

2539
02:13:09,520 --> 02:13:12,680
Speaker 1: handle it very well, and it's obviously due in part

2540
02:13:12,720 --> 02:13:15,160
Speaker 1: to their mobility and their arm strength. I mean, even

2541
02:13:15,200 --> 02:13:16,800
Speaker 1: when they have to throw off their back foot or

2542
02:13:16,800 --> 02:13:19,120
Speaker 1: something because somebody's all up in their kitchen, they can

2543
02:13:19,160 --> 02:13:21,040
Speaker 1: still get a pass to where it's supposed to go. Well.

2544
02:13:21,080 --> 02:13:22,960
Speaker 1: They have that. They both have that arm strength, and

2545
02:13:23,560 --> 02:13:28,240
Speaker 1: it serves them well because in this game, everybody throws

2546
02:13:28,240 --> 02:13:30,640
Speaker 1: off balance and off platform. Plus, the thing, the key

2547
02:13:30,680 --> 02:13:33,640
Speaker 1: thing to watch for in this game, also, Brownie, is

2548
02:13:33,680 --> 02:13:37,080
Speaker 1: the plays that are extended by these two quarterbacks. Plays

2549
02:13:37,120 --> 02:13:41,040
Speaker 1: off script, off script plays both these teams, the Bills

2550
02:13:41,080 --> 02:13:43,360
Speaker 1: are getting better at The Chiefs are phenomenal at it,

2551
02:13:44,040 --> 02:13:46,440
Speaker 1: and the Bills are getting better at it. That when

2552
02:13:46,480 --> 02:13:49,520
Speaker 1: the quarterback snaps off some pressure, steps up into the

2553
02:13:49,520 --> 02:13:51,400
Speaker 1: pocket and rolls out to one way or his writer

2554
02:13:51,600 --> 02:13:54,160
Speaker 1: is left. The guys out there that are running around

2555
02:13:54,160 --> 02:13:56,040
Speaker 1: trying to get open for him, how are learning how

2556
02:13:56,080 --> 02:13:58,760
Speaker 1: to do that really well? The Chiefs get it and

2557
02:13:58,800 --> 02:14:01,040
Speaker 1: the Bills are getting to that point point. Watch that tonight.

2558
02:14:01,120 --> 02:14:03,160
Speaker 1: It's because that's going to be crucial. That's it for

2559
02:14:03,240 --> 02:14:05,200
Speaker 1: us here. We're on the roundtable next
