1
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 1: At a Steve Tasker who has been all all over

2
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:11,760
Speaker 1: the fields. Kind of unique. He was kind of a

3
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 1: dual role players for State, Steve a blimp. We're not

4
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 1: even in the stratoire of normalcy. Time to get over

5
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 1: the hump. It's hump day on the way to the

6
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 1: AFC title Game, Chris Brown, Steve Tasker. Wednesday edition of

7
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: One Bills Live coming at you from our Seneca Studios

8
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 1: in Orchard Park in about fifty yards away from us.

9
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 1: The Bills are practicing indoors today, so we will not

10
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 1: have any practice participation updates for you during the show,

11
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,560
Speaker 1: but near the conclusion of the show, the injury report

12
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 1: will be released and we'll get a sense. We do

13
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 1: know based on coach McDermott's comments this morning in his

14
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:01,279
Speaker 1: press conference that Gabriel Davis and and Butler are not

15
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 1: practicing today. We know that Davis was dealing with an

16
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 1: ankle injury that he sustained on that touchdown pass. He

17
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,399
Speaker 1: was not able to come up with when he was

18
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 1: run over kind of from behind on the play by

19
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,839
Speaker 1: the defender and coverage and he was kind of limping

20
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: around on that the rest of the game. So hopefully

21
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:24,119
Speaker 1: he is only going to miss a day maybe two

22
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,639
Speaker 1: of practice and get back into the fold. And Vernon Butler,

23
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 1: we don't know the nature of his injury status, so

24
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: we'll have to wait and see when the Wednesday injury

25
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: report is released as to what he is dealing with.

26
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: On the chief side of the Ledger, Patrick Mahomes expected

27
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 1: to practice on a limited basis today. He remains in

28
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: concussion protocol, but if he is doing any kind of

29
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: football related activities, Steve, we know that means he is

30
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: already in step four of the five step returned to

31
00:01:55,920 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: play protocol, which would give strong indication that he's probably

32
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: going to get fully medically cleared by the end of

33
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: the week and be out of the protocol unless there's

34
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,359
Speaker 1: some kind of setback that we are not foreseeing at

35
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: this point in time. So that's kind of the injury

36
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: update for this game as we continue to wait with

37
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 1: anticipation as to what kind of game will unfold. And

38
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: Steve and I were talking about this yesterday. I think

39
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 1: we're both of the opinion that the Bills probably have

40
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 1: to play their very best game to get a win

41
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 1: there on the road from all three phases. Quite frankly,

42
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: I think people almost get desensitized to how dominant the

43
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: Chiefs have been. I mean, what are they twenty five

44
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 1: and one in their last twenty six games going back

45
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: to last year. They can talk about him as many

46
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: one score games as you want, Steve, Yeah, they just win.

47
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: They give you this sense that when you watch them

48
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 1: play and they want all those games. They're fourteen and

49
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: two this year, phenomenal season, and they put together all

50
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: those games. And when we went down the list in

51
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: the Bills have got eight double digit wins this year.

52
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: The Chiefs have zero. And yet you watch the Chiefs

53
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: and it's and it's like they play as hard as

54
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: they need to to win and let's move on. It

55
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: is almost it's laughable, how quickly they can score when

56
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: they're revved up, and how they turn it on when

57
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: they need it. They really give you the sense that

58
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: they are a team that has a gear nobody else's got.

59
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: And that's what you're up against, a team that's playing

60
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: with supreme confidence, with an MVP quarterback and some of

61
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: the most dangerous offensive weapons in the league. And you've

62
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: got to keep a lid on it. Somehow, it's hard

63
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: to do. It's hard to do and that's what and

64
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: so the Bills they're gonna have to play their best

65
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 1: and gets and make some plays at critical moments to

66
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 1: get out of them. This is a team that the

67
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: Chiefs animal character. Down fourteen points, they don't care to

68
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: if they're down fourteen points in the second half, they

69
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: are unaffected by it. They'll come out and start aaron

70
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: and out and catch up in a heartbeat. Yeah, that's

71
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: the way they've played, and that's the way. That's the

72
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: kind of vibe they've got coming off them. Right. The

73
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: double digit wins are since week nine, just to be clear.

74
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: And then the other thing that you know, I was

75
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 1: trying to kind of comb through the first matchup between

76
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 1: the two teams to try to pull some things out

77
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:29,039
Speaker 1: of it. Whether a we may see some of those

78
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 1: things again be where maybe either team is decidedly different. Obviously,

79
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 1: we've gone over how the Bills were dealing with a

80
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: handful of injuries, particularly on the defensive side of the ball,

81
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 1: where they did not have mad Milano, they did not

82
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: have Levi Wallace, and Tremaine Edmonds was still not one

83
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 1: hundred percent healthy trying to come back from a shoulder injury,

84
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: and John Brown wasn't one hundred percent healthy, just a

85
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: week removed from a knee injury suffered in the Tennessee game.

86
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: So we went over that. The most interesting thing that

87
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: I pulled out of that first game, Steve the Bills,

88
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 1: we know, sat back and invited them to hit the

89
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: soft underbelly of the defense for most of the game,

90
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,479
Speaker 1: and they took advantage of that, not only with running

91
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 1: the ball but taking shorter underneath passes and did that

92
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 1: with great success. I looked at it, and I couldn't

93
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: believe it when I saw it. The Bills did not

94
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: blitz Patrick Mahomes once in the entire game, in the

95
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 1: entire game zero And I looked at some other games

96
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: in terms of, you know who had some measure of

97
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:45,039
Speaker 1: success in at least holding the Chiefs down on the scoreboard. Right,

98
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: what was there defensive approach? Okay, So Mahomes was blitzed

99
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:58,479
Speaker 1: at the second lowest rate in the NFL this year.

100
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: He was blitzed the fourth fewest plays this season. The

101
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 1: blitz rate against him was twenty three point four percent. Meanwhile,

102
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 1: Josh Allen was blitzed at the second highest rate in

103
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: the league, over forty one percent of the time, and

104
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 1: he was blitzed for the most total plays in the NFL,

105
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 1: presumably because the ball the Bills do throw it so much,

106
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty four total plays. So so as

107
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,679
Speaker 1: we know, the Bills defense did not blitz Mahomes once

108
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:29,840
Speaker 1: in that game. Mahomes goes twenty one for twenty six

109
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: for two twenty five two touchdowns. He was sacked once,

110
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 1: passer rating of one twenty eight point four, converted nine

111
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: to fourteen on third down, and we're three to five

112
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: in the red zone. So they ran at forty six

113
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: times in that game and threw at twenty six times.

114
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 1: So there's that. So I said, all right, who held

115
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 1: them down on the scoreboard. So the Chargers in Week

116
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: two against the Chiefs, if you remember the game that

117
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 1: went to overtime that Bucker won on a fifty eight

118
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 1: yard field goal that he kicked probably three times before

119
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: it finally was approved to one the infamous game for

120
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: the Chiefs when Justin Herbert came in off the bench

121
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,479
Speaker 1: with ten seconds notice and got him to overtime, right

122
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: because Tyrod Taylor got a needle in his lung collapsed.

123
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 1: It don't get me started. Yeah, So the approach there.

124
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 1: The Chargers blitz Mahomes six percent of the time, just

125
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: two plays the whole game. Mahomes twenty seven to forty

126
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 1: seven for three hundred two yards, two touchdowns, a sack,

127
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 1: ninety point nine rating. Chiefs were seven to fifteen on

128
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: third down, one for two in the red zone. Chargers

129
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: lost by an overtime field goal. Okay, so then week sixteen,

130
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: Atlanta holds them to seventeen points, which is right. You

131
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: old this Chiefs team to seventeen points. You're doing something right,

132
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: you would think. And the Falcons have not been anything

133
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: to write home about defensively. But yeah, I get it,

134
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: but there's a lot in this that you gotta look

135
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: right now. They got their four, they're they're thirteen and

136
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: one at this point, right cruising You got it on

137
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: cruise control. Yeah, well, anyway, so indulge me here, all right,

138
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: go ahead. Falcons blitzed Mahomes forty two percent of the

139
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: time in the game, second most against Kansas City all

140
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 1: season long. Mahomes twenty four of forty four, two seventy eight,

141
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: two touchdowns, a pick, seventy nine and a half, rating

142
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,319
Speaker 1: five or thirteen on third down one for two in

143
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: the red zone, and Atlanta has the worst pass defense

144
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 1: in the NFL, which might be why they blitzed as

145
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 1: much as they did. You have a poor pass defense,

146
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:41,559
Speaker 1: you better get pressure or you're just gonna get carved

147
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:43,839
Speaker 1: up for five hundred yards. Forgot about two hundred and

148
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: seventy eight. But if you remember that game at all,

149
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: Steve falcons in position to kick a game tying field

150
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 1: goal at the end of the game, and the guy

151
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 1: stoinked it like he just hooked the thing and they

152
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: lost seventeen fourteen instead of pushing it to overtime. So

153
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: now you know it worked for them. Are looking for

154
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: a new head coach? Well, true, they were already using

155
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 1: their interim head coach, Ray Morris, who is who was

156
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:08,679
Speaker 1: their DC? So that was the game he was out

157
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: of the game with COVID right, Oh he might have been.

158
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 1: It might be right eight. You might be right. I

159
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:17,079
Speaker 1: forgot about that. How about that last one? Okay? Vic

160
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 1: Fangio Week thirteen, Denver against Kansas City. Casey won the

161
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 1: game by six points twenty five nineteen no, no, no no,

162
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 1: twenty two? Hold on, are you in the right year?

163
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 1: Steve Denver throws Week December sixth week thirteen, Yeah, nineteen,

164
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 1: says twenty two sixteen, oh, twenty two sixteen, Okay, my mistake.

165
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: Broncos blitzed him twenty nine percent of the time, an

166
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: equivalent of twelve plays in the game. Mahome twenty five

167
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: of forty three eighteen a sack of touchdown ninety five

168
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: point six rating. Chiefs were three of ten on third down.

169
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: This is a defense that did not have Von Miller

170
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: all season. Um over four in the red zone, over

171
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:03,439
Speaker 1: three in goal to go situations. That's big, Vic Fangio,

172
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 1: and they lost by six. That was before Vic Fangio

173
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:15,959
Speaker 1: brought his highly regarded defense into the Buffalo game. Well valid. Nevertheless,

174
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: I think one of the reasons Denver lost that game

175
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 1: as I think Drew Locke had two or three picks

176
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,959
Speaker 1: and he was a turnover machine this year. But that,

177
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: I mean, that looks like a pretty good defensive game

178
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 1: plan from a guy who's known for his defensive schemes.

179
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: Twenty nine point three percent blitz percentage. I wonder if

180
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 1: they're look you run down this list and Patrick Mahomes

181
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 1: is still doing Patrick Mahomes thing. His lowest passing yard

182
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 1: is total though was against the Bills in all of

183
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 1: these games that I listed here, which is two hundred

184
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 1: and twenty five yards passing, they ran for two forty five.

185
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 1: We get it right, So they had almost five hundred yards.

186
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 1: They'll almost had five, but they got down there. You get. Yeah,

187
00:10:55,200 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 1: the gaming gets the Chargers, the Patriots, the Bills, Broncos

188
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 1: and Falcons and the Chargers at the end of the year.

189
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 1: But you know, there was a lost because those are

190
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 1: the teams that kind of held them in the mid

191
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: twenties or in the teens. All the other times they're

192
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 1: scoring thirty and forty points, between thirty and forty five points.

193
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 1: So let me ask you this. You know, seeing all

194
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 1: these different approaches having limited success, does it behoove the

195
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 1: Bills to dramatically change their defensive scheme for this week's game?

196
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 1: Tweak it a little because they did hold the passing

197
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 1: yardage down, they didn't get killed on big plays. They

198
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:42,839
Speaker 1: forced the Chiefs to earn it. Do you just tweak it, Steve,

199
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:44,680
Speaker 1: or do you overhaul it? What do you what do

200
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 1: you think? Well, you look at what they do and

201
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 1: what they would give them problems, if anything, What have

202
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,079
Speaker 1: they struggled with? And that's what you give them. You

203
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 1: need to be that diverse in your defensive abilities, and

204
00:11:58,440 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 1: you know, if you need to, if you need to

205
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: pressure him, you got to send guys to pressure him.

206
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:04,959
Speaker 1: The Bills defense it's a much different Bills defense than

207
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: it was then. And I'm I'm not saying that they're

208
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:12,839
Speaker 1: not different, but it just is almost completely. So I

209
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: don't think you have to change what you do because

210
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,680
Speaker 1: you're doing it differently now. Anyway, Yeah, you know what

211
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Right, what do you think about this? Because

212
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 1: this is something that I have noticed with more of

213
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 1: the mobile quarterbacks. Leslie Frasier, when he chooses to blitz,

214
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 1: more often than not, has blitzed faster players, namely defensive

215
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 1: backs like Lamar Jackson. They were blitzing defensive backs, but's Tarin.

216
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 1: They blitzed Levi, and they blitzed Tredavius at different times. Correct,

217
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 1: And I think there's probably a hide pourer in there

218
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 1: as well somewhere, so you know, they did all of that.

219
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 1: But Levi Wallace got the first sack of the game

220
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 1: on a on a corner blitz. But I like the

221
00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 1: premise of that against faster mobile quarterbacks, throw a fast

222
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:04,839
Speaker 1: player at him, you know what I mean. Yeah, I

223
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: like that thought, Like, instead of trying to get a

224
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: defensive end free on a twister is stunt. I mean,

225
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: you're trying to do that anyway, but instead of making

226
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 1: a defensive end, you're free rusher. Get somebody who's just

227
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 1: as athletic as that guy, right, you know, and it's worked. Yeah,

228
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: it's where I like that approach. So it makes it

229
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 1: makes a ton of sense. I mean, you can blitz Tremaine,

230
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: Edmonds and Milano, which they do. Yeah, but if the

231
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,599
Speaker 1: guy breaks contain, you know, those guys are gonna have

232
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 1: a hard time catching a guy like Lamar Jackson, whereas

233
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 1: a corner's got a better chance if he's got an angle.

234
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think that is It does make sense

235
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 1: from that perspective of sending an athlete after an athlete.

236
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: But I think also too, I think that has as

237
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 1: much to do with XS and nose and where they're

238
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 1: vulnerable in certain protection schemes, downs, distance and personnel combinations

239
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 1: and more importantly, formations, you've got to outnumber them, and

240
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: to get into those outnumbered situations, you got to stretch

241
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: it thin someplace. Yeah, you gotta be vulnerable somewhere else.

242
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,960
Speaker 1: So I think that has as much to do with

243
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 1: it as picking. But they can. You know, they can

244
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 1: maneuver it, no question about it. But as as to

245
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: do with who's picking the blitz, who's coming on the blitz,

246
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 1: because let's face it, if they would have sent one

247
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: more eligible receiver to that side, Wallace can't come. Yeah, right,

248
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 1: so you can always be out flanked by them doing

249
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 1: something I expected, like sending a guy in motion changing

250
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 1: the strength of the formation. But then again, if if

251
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: you do that, it might have been Tremaine or Turnavius

252
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 1: coming from the other side. Yeah, you know, they might

253
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 1: have switched corner blitzes. But all of that's on the table.

254
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 1: And but I don't think it to your question, Brownie,

255
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: you do what you gotta do to win, right, You

256
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: don't worry about you don't worry about whether you can.

257
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 1: You know you're gonna put a plan in that you

258
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 1: think your guys can can execute, no question. I'm just

259
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 1: wondering how different is it going to look from the

260
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 1: first meeting. I think it will look different. Yeah, I'm

261
00:14:56,760 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 1: just wondering, like to what degree, dramatically different, slightly different.

262
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna curious as to the degree of change

263
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 1: we're gonna witness on their defensive side of the ball

264
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 1: on this and what kind of change they're gonna be.

265
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 1: Is it going to be different because the Bills are

266
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 1: playing better or is it going to be different because

267
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 1: they're doing something completely different? Yeah, And I guess I'm

268
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: asking more about the schematic end of the equation. They're

269
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 1: more than the personnel end. But and I don't know

270
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 1: if I don't know if we'll ever you know, we'll

271
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 1: have to white wait and see, because I think they

272
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: will do some of what they did the first meeting.

273
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 1: But I also think that I don't think they go

274
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 1: this game. I don't think they go sixty five seventy

275
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 1: snaps on offense and don't blitz any Yeah. I think they.

276
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 1: I think they mix it up, don't you. I think

277
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 1: they mix it up defensively their spots. Yeah. And here's

278
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 1: one thing we should not dismiss. It was clear in

279
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 1: that game when Patrick Mahomes was still in it that

280
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: his mobility was compromised by that toe injury. So I

281
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 1: would almost be inclined to blitz him early if he's

282
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 1: playing to see, hey, can he move around and get

283
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: away from pressure or is that toe bothering him to

284
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: a degree where his escape ability isn't what it normally is.

285
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 1: And if that's the case, send some guys even more often.

286
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 1: Not all the time, but you know what I'm saying,

287
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 1: Like you feel even better about blitzing him if you

288
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 1: know his mobility is compromised by that toe. Absolutely, absolutely,

289
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 1: I would test that early. Absolutely, Yeah, that's absolutely right.

290
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 1: If if you have a question about his ability to

291
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 1: play the way he wants to play or usually plays

292
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 1: or instinctively plays, and he can't do that, you're going

293
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 1: to force him to do that. Yeah, that's that's basic tactics.

294
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 1: And so that I think, and I think too, You

295
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 1: and I think agree on this. The concussion thing for

296
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: me is not even on the radar anymore. It doesn't

297
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 1: even I mean Andy Ready didn't even use the word

298
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: concussion in describing Mahome's condition on Monday. It is about

299
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 1: the toe. If you got a turf toe, yeah, that

300
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 1: doesn't just go away. And you and the guy's playing

301
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 1: in You're a Day used to suffer from it a

302
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 1: lot more than the guys do to day because the turf,

303
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 1: the AstroTurf is a lot well, it's not even AstroTurf anymore.

304
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 1: The turf surfaces, the artificial surfaces are a lot more

305
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,479
Speaker 1: friendly on the joints. It's amazing thing else, it's amazing

306
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:12,679
Speaker 1: to me now that they play on a natural surface

307
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:17,360
Speaker 1: and he got it. Yeah, that's that's hard to do. Yeah,

308
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:19,439
Speaker 1: so that maybe it may be that it's not like

309
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,679
Speaker 1: a turf toe, where a turf toe is. What it

310
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 1: is is the big the ball of your foot. That

311
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 1: joint gets dislocated and then pops back in real quick

312
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 1: and it doesn't stay just like but it's sprains that

313
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 1: joint and that's what turf toe is, your big toe.

314
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 1: That's and you know you can't if In football, the

315
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:42,679
Speaker 1: most annoying injury to have is a foot injury because

316
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,119
Speaker 1: to play, you gotta run. You need your wheels, you

317
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 1: gotta run. You can. I've played with a club on

318
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 1: my hand with a you know, cask where you got

319
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 1: a busted thumb. I can go out and cover kicks

320
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:55,160
Speaker 1: and it's like, I don't care, it's not even a consideration.

321
00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 1: But a toe injury, every step you take is painful.

322
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 1: It's in your it's banging into your brain saying, hey,

323
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 1: what are you doing. You know this ain't right. You're

324
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: not gonna You're limited. Don't run and tell me if

325
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 1: I'm wrong. But from players that I've talked, I remember

326
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 1: when Antoine Smith was here. He had a lot of

327
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 1: turf toe problems his first couple of years on the

328
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 1: old artificial surface that was here. And he told me

329
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 1: the two hardest things to do with a turf toe

330
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 1: are explode and stop. He said, those are the two

331
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:28,359
Speaker 1: most painful things to do with a turf toe. Explode

332
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 1: and then actually stop at the end of a run

333
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 1: or something. To think about it. You gotta you gotta

334
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 1: get up on your toe and push off that that

335
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: main joint, your big toe to take off. It's excruciating, yeah, excruciating.

336
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 1: They used to have these insoles that you put into

337
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 1: your shoe that was a metal plate on the front

338
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:50,679
Speaker 1: half of your right back, behind your back, behind your toes,

339
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:52,640
Speaker 1: behind the ball of your front just the front half

340
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 1: of the insole was a metal plate so that you

341
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 1: couldn't bend the shoe, so that your toe wouldn't ben

342
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,639
Speaker 1: because the shoe wouldn't bend, okay, And that's one of

343
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 1: the things they did too for therapy. They also have

344
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 1: special tape jobs where they tape the toe in play

345
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:11,199
Speaker 1: straight so it won't flex that. And then you know

346
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 1: there's the old time favorite, just shoot the thing with

347
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 1: novocaine to give you some help. And they they're they're

348
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 1: pretty adept at it. Outside the sand of La Chargers,

349
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 1: they're pretty adept at that kind of stuff because they

350
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 1: don't numb your foot. They don't numb the entire area. Yes,

351
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 1: they just in fact, they give it. I remember getting

352
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:39,200
Speaker 1: done to me. They give you the needle. It's like, yeah, okay, yeah,

353
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:40,919
Speaker 1: I can still feel that a little bit, you know how,

354
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 1: you know, like you need to hit it again, and

355
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:46,200
Speaker 1: they just still want to feel it a little bit though,

356
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,679
Speaker 1: right right, that's that they and they hit again. The

357
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 1: guy tests you on your shoulder, goes have a great

358
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 1: game and just leaves. So I'm like, you know it's there,

359
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:56,680
Speaker 1: but you can play right. It's like, you know, it's

360
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 1: like a hang you just want to dull the pain

361
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,119
Speaker 1: to where it's tolerable. It's like a hangnail rather than

362
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:04,399
Speaker 1: getting your finger chopped off, so you can play with

363
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,919
Speaker 1: a hangnail. Yeah, so that's what they do now, and

364
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 1: that's always an option. But here's the thing too. You

365
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:17,920
Speaker 1: know the name Dizzy Dean. Yes, that's what Pat Mahomes

366
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 1: is looking at right here. I mentioned this briefly yesterday.

367
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 1: You get a turf toe and all of a sudden,

368
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:28,400
Speaker 1: it becomes a chronic problem. It has ripple effects on

369
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 1: how you play, and how you play have ripple effects

370
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 1: on how risky it is for you to play. It

371
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:35,199
Speaker 1: puts you at a higher risk. If you have to

372
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 1: change your instinctive way you play, you're at higher risk

373
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 1: of being injured. I'm trying to remember if it's his

374
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 1: right foot or his left foot. I do not know,

375
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 1: Because if it's his right foot, I do not care.

376
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 1: He's got to stick that foot in the ground and

377
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 1: drive off of it when he throws the football. If

378
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:55,199
Speaker 1: you think about it, he's got to drive off that

379
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 1: back foot. It's flexing that toe on every throw, like

380
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 1: conceivably it's like you're throwing shoulder or non throwing shoulder, right, Yeah,

381
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 1: I mean that's that makes a difference, and that should

382
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 1: be listed on the injury report. For those of you

383
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:10,920
Speaker 1: who don't know, Dizzy Dean was a picture pitcher for

384
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:13,920
Speaker 1: was it the Yankees? No, he didn't pitch for the

385
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 1: yank didn't an old time pitcher. He got hit in

386
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 1: the toe by a line drive. And back in that day,

387
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 1: this is in the thirties, forties, I guess, or fifties

388
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 1: when it was Cardinals Cubs in Saint Louis Browns. Okay,

389
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 1: So he gets hit in the in the toe by

390
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 1: a line drive. And I know I'm gonna get tweets,

391
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:36,640
Speaker 1: but people are gonna be correcting me all over the place.

392
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:40,880
Speaker 1: Don't don't tweet me, just get my point. If not,

393
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:44,880
Speaker 1: if get my point, which is valid, if my facts aren't. Um,

394
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 1: he wanted to keep playing and back you know, back

395
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 1: then the sports science was like you know, taping aspirinto

396
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 1: rub dirt, right, rub a dirt on it. Um. He

397
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 1: changed his throwing motion because the toe wouldn't allow him

398
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:01,679
Speaker 1: to pitch properly. His arm was injured as a result

399
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 1: of the altered throwing motion, and he was never the

400
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:07,959
Speaker 1: same player. So because of all of that, you know,

401
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 1: you get this, these injuries and if Pat mahomes de sides,

402
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go because we're in a deep in a

403
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 1: playoff run in and every season is precious, I'm gonna

404
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:23,239
Speaker 1: try and go. Well, you run risks when you do that,

405
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 1: and like I said yesterday, his risk just isn't allow.

406
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:28,880
Speaker 1: You know, he might he might be you know, might

407
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 1: miss a day, or might do he's betting five hundred

408
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 1: million dollars that he's gonna get better from this. He's

409
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 1: gonna heal up, and it's not going to affect his throwing.

410
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:41,679
Speaker 1: What happens, hew, what happens if he throws out he

411
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:45,440
Speaker 1: tears his rotator cuff or his labor m because he's

412
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 1: throwing it. Of course, he throws it funky anyway all

413
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 1: the time. But you know what I mean, Yeah, yeah,

414
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 1: you're right. He lost his I'm reading up on one

415
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 1: dizzy Dean and so he broke his big toe on

416
00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,400
Speaker 1: a line drive back to the mound in the All

417
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 1: Star Game nineteen thirty seven, of all things, and changed

418
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 1: his pitching motion to avoid landing as hard on his

419
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 1: sword toe enough to effect his throwing mechanics. Then he

420
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 1: heard his arm, lost his fastball, and was pretty much

421
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 1: done after that. All right, that's that's the Patrick Mahomes scenario.

422
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 1: If you come, you know what I'm saying, and I

423
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:23,920
Speaker 1: know I'm I want the guy to play. I want

424
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 1: the Chiefs to play their best. I want the Bills

425
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 1: to play their best, and I want the Bills to win.

426
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 1: And you know, I'm I don't. I have not heard

427
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:34,680
Speaker 1: very many Bills fans say, Gosh, I hope Pat Mahomes

428
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 1: doesn't play. I don't. I don't care if he let

429
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 1: him play, let him, let's play work. This team in

430
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,200
Speaker 1: Buffalo is good enough to play with anybody and win.

431
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 1: So nobody's cheering against Pat Mahomes. But I do think

432
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 1: that's a huge story and a kind of an issue

433
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 1: that's outside the lines you kind of have to think about. Yeah,

434
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 1: I mean, the Mega Millions is at nine hundred and

435
00:23:56,840 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 1: thirty million, Brownie, do you buy it? Do you buy

436
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:06,120
Speaker 1: a ticket there? Or you know? Because that's what he's risking. Well,

437
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:09,400
Speaker 1: I'm buying one hundreds of millions. I'm buying. Well, I'm

438
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 1: buying a ticket because I'm looking to do the other thing.

439
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 1: I'm looking at cash in. I'm not looking to lose it,

440
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:17,439
Speaker 1: right right. But I know what you're yeah, I know

441
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 1: what you're saying. I do, but you're one game away

442
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 1: from the super Bowl, and we know how the here

443
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 1: and now often takes precedence over down the line. Yeah,

444
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 1: in many instances in professional sports, whether it's with injuries,

445
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:38,159
Speaker 1: whether it's um there's a whole myriad of things that

446
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 1: people try to weigh. But what almost always inevitably wins

447
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 1: the day is what what's on the table right now

448
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:54,120
Speaker 1: almost always wins and takes precedence. And for Patrick Mahomes,

449
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 1: I would imagine that he's in if if this really

450
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 1: is a questionable injury that could that could you know,

451
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:06,120
Speaker 1: damage him further, whether it's with his throwing arm because

452
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 1: he's adjusting his throwing mechanics or whatever. You would hope

453
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 1: that the people that genuinely have his best interests in mind,

454
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:20,640
Speaker 1: which is a long career, that he takes that into account.

455
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 1: I still don't think it's gonna change whether he plays

456
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 1: or not. I think if he can, the guy's gonna play.

457
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:27,440
Speaker 1: Go out on the field. He's going out on the field.

458
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,440
Speaker 1: The guy's gonna play. Even if he's eighty percent, seventy

459
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 1: five percent, whatever it is, any know what else, he's

460
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 1: gonna play pretty good too. Well. Yeah, yeah, I just

461
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 1: count on it. I think most people would take a

462
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:40,920
Speaker 1: seventy five percent Patrick Mahomes over about twenty eight other

463
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the league. We had. We had Kurt Warner

464
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,199
Speaker 1: on the show yesterday and he said, he says, in

465
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 1: his mind, even in the AFC, where he's got all

466
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 1: these hot shot young quarterbacks that we've been talking about,

467
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 1: even even it's Pat Mahomes and everybody else, still still yeah,

468
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 1: we saw that the speculation continues on one Deshaun Watson

469
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 1: as the equivalent of the football Hot Stove League is underway.

470
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:11,719
Speaker 1: You know, you hear about that in the baseball realm

471
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 1: in the offseason. Who's going where, what free agents are

472
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:18,159
Speaker 1: signing where. It's already started in earnest for Deshaun Watson,

473
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:21,119
Speaker 1: who many believe will not be back in Houston. And

474
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:25,119
Speaker 1: there have even been some reports out there that say

475
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:30,400
Speaker 1: the situation is irreparable and that the only way Watson

476
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 1: stays in Houston is if cal McNair sells the team,

477
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:36,719
Speaker 1: which I don't think is going to happen. So now

478
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 1: people are already formulating most likely destinations. Now we just

479
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 1: saw Philip Rivers retire today. There is no way Houston

480
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 1: is trading him in the division. As a matter of fact,

481
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 1: I'll go as far as saying I think it's unlikely

482
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:53,920
Speaker 1: they trade him in the conference. You know. I mean, obviously,

483
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 1: if you get the best deal from another team in

484
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:58,639
Speaker 1: your conference, you probably pull the trigger and do that.

485
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 1: But I think they have a comparable deal with an

486
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:06,360
Speaker 1: NFC club. I think that is the more likely scenario.

487
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 1: And if you are an NFC team and you can

488
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 1: get a twenty five year old quarterback and pull him

489
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:15,400
Speaker 1: out of the AFC where there's like nine or ten

490
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:19,359
Speaker 1: of them, you bolt yourself to the front of the

491
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 1: line in the NFC pecking order very quickly. And he's

492
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,719
Speaker 1: fresh off a new contract, he's got an extension, so

493
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 1: he's under contract for a while. So you know, there's

494
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:30,680
Speaker 1: a couple of there's a couple of NFC East teams

495
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 1: that would probably be in the running for that. Let

496
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 1: me let me throw this one by ease. Help me

497
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:40,639
Speaker 1: what you think? What about San Francisco, Okay, not locked

498
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 1: into Garoppolo? They have an easy out this offseason. And

499
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:48,159
Speaker 1: who did Garoppolo have a previous relationship with the Patriots

500
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 1: and Nick Caserio who was part of the staff, the

501
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 1: scouting staff that drafted him. I wonder if you could

502
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 1: send Garoppolo to Houston along with obviously first round draft

503
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 1: voices and get Watson out of Houston for San Francisco's roster.

504
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:06,440
Speaker 1: You can add to that roster. They're the NFC favorite

505
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 1: from Philly with Carson Wentz for Deshaun Watson. That contracts

506
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 1: harder to move, though, you can get out from under

507
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 1: that Garoppolo contract the way the Niners structured that this offseason.

508
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 1: That's look around and say Matt Stafford for Deshaun Watson,

509
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 1: you could say, um, a ton of stuff, yeah, but

510
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:31,159
Speaker 1: Garoppolo all that stuff. I could see Garoppolo being attractive

511
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 1: to Houston along with draft picks coming because of Cassirio's

512
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 1: familiarity with him, and then it becomes you know what,

513
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 1: head coach, you're plugging again. But I think Garoppolo is

514
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 1: only twenty eight, so you could arguably get, you know,

515
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 1: another ten years out of that kid if you feel

516
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 1: you can, you know, you can salvage him, salvage his career.

517
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 1: That's a big if. But I just think with the

518
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 1: connections there, you know, from the New England ties with

519
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 1: CASSERI I wonder if that's something that gets about the

520
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears. I don't. I don't have enough confidence in

521
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 1: the Bears to pull that off. I just don't I'm sorry,

522
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 1: take Khalil Mack a draft pick for Dashawn. Yeah. I

523
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 1: don't know if they can take on Khalil's contract, do you.

524
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 1: He just signed for big money and that they already

525
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 1: have caps the way to get it, because if they

526
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 1: can get players instead of draft picks it or if

527
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 1: they can get draft picks, whichever you want to cut it,

528
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 1: I would say draft picks it is probably the way

529
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 1: they want to go. Yeah, but if they can fit

530
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 1: those guys under the cap, I don't know. We'll see. Yeah. Yeah,

531
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 1: that's interesting, very interesting break time for us. But coming

532
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 1: up next, we will have former Chiefs offensive lineman Joe

533

Speaker 1: At his one, Joe Valerio joining us on the line,

549
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 1: and Joe and Steve squared off a couple of moons ago,

550
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 1: you know, in the ANFC title game in ninety three.

551
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 1: We're back there again, guys, Bill's Chiefs. Hey, Chris, Hey Steve,

552
00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 1: how are you doing? Steve? I didn't even come close

553
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 1: to square and offer touching, Steve. I was covering punts

554
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 1: at the time as a long snapper, and car World

555
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 1: Gardner almost knocked me out of the game, Steve. When

556
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 1: I thought I had I was dreaming that a three

557
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 1: hundred pound long snapper was going to tackle you, stripped

558
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 1: the ball, pick it up and run it in for

559
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 1: a game tying touchdown. But those dream ended real fast

560
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 1: at the hands of number thirty five car World Garden.

561
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 1: Let me tell you that much. You gotta speak it

562
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 1: into existence, though, Joseph, I don't blame you for that. Hey,

563
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 1: you gotta If you can envision it, it can happen.

564
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 1: That's what it's where it starts. So right, we were

565
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 1: talking to you to believe it. What do you remember

566
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 1: about that? That game so long? I remember the thing

567
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,080
Speaker 1: I remember is about it. It It was Joe Montana's final

568
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 1: game as a pro football player. I know that. But

569
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 1: what do you guys remember about it? Well, I you know,

570
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,240
Speaker 1: I think, look, we went in there on a pretty

571
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 1: good high. I mean, you know, we were coming off

572
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 1: beating the Oilers in the House of Pain, you know,

573
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 1: after they had gone in an eleven game run. Joe

574
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 1: Montana was playing some of his best football, Marcus was peaking.

575
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 1: You know, I felt we felt like we had a

576
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 1: shot against you know, what was ann believable team of course, right,

577
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 1: I mean, you guys were the standard bearers for what

578
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 1: the NFL, you know, should be in an organization at

579
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 1: the time, and you know, we thought we had some

580
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 1: really good momentum going into that game, you know, having

581
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 1: done what we did, the overtime win against the Steelers,

582
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 1: the big road win against the Oilers, and we felt like,

583
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 1: you know, we had a shot, and we had won

584
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:22,480
Speaker 1: earlier in the season, right. I was watching that game

585
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 1: kind of in preparation, and h you know, granted that

586
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 1: was at Arrowhead, a little bit different circumstances, you know,

587
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 1: so we thought, hey, why not, right, why can it

588
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:33,480
Speaker 1: be us to unseat which A then you guys were

589
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 1: obviously the royalty of the AFC. Yeah, and I remember

590
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 1: too that what you did come and like always, you

591
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 1: get you don't get to this game. And I've been

592
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 1: talking about this all week and Chiefs fans know this too,

593
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 1: even today. You don't get to this game unless you've

594
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 1: come the long road. It is hard to win in

595
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 1: this in this league, and to get to the conference

596
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:57,479
Speaker 1: championship around where there's four teams left, not only are

597
00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 1: you talented and well coached, you're also hitting on all cylinders.

598
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 1: And the Chiefs, I've been watching them. I gotta tell you,

599
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs look to me like they have

600
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:11,959
Speaker 1: a gear nobody else has. They play as hard, They

601
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 1: have played as hard as they have needed to to

602
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 1: win games. They've you know, not very many blowouts, but man,

603
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 1: oh man, do they look like a team that has

604
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 1: not been pressed yet? Yeah? I mean there are. You know,

605
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 1: obviously off they're an offensive juggernaut, right, I mean Erician

606
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 1: Enemy and Andy Reid have put together a playbook that

607
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 1: really focuses on the strength of each of the players

608
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 1: that's out there. You saw that with you know what

609
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 1: Chad had he was able to do there at the

610
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 1: end of the game. Uh, you know, they stretched the

611
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 1: field vertically. They stretch it horizontally with their speed. You know,

612
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 1: they added Levion and Daryl and Williams is playing well,

613
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 1: and you know Clyde Edwards Hilaire was an unbelievable addition.

614
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 1: So look, they've got all the right tools offensively to

615
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 1: score points, put them up, come back from behind, run

616
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 1: the ball to control the clock, throw the ball to

617
00:33:57,360 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 1: come from behind. I mean, they do have really all

618
00:33:59,880 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 1: the tools, and they've got a creative playbook to go

619
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 1: with it. Obviously, their achilles heel is their defense. And

620
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 1: you see the teams that can they can run the

621
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 1: ball successfully, can win the time of possession, can hang

622
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:14,320
Speaker 1: with them. You know. Um so I think that's something

623
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 1: that every team you know has tried to do. And

624
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:19,839
Speaker 1: all the games that you know have that they've won

625
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:22,400
Speaker 1: this year against the teams they should have won, they've

626
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:24,879
Speaker 1: they've done that, but there have been some really tight

627
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:28,320
Speaker 1: games where teams can hang with with the Chiefs and

628
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:30,480
Speaker 1: you can stay in the game. And you look at

629
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 1: what the Saints did, You look at what the Raiders

630
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:34,759
Speaker 1: and beating them. You look at what the Chargers even did.

631
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:37,880
Speaker 1: You know, they're they're definitely they're definitely beatable if you

632
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 1: put the right game plan in place. But you're right,

633
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:43,440
Speaker 1: they are very explosive offensively, and that is really their strength. Joe,

634
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:46,320
Speaker 1: I'm kind of struck by this. You know, the Bill's

635
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:51,320
Speaker 1: defense has improved down the stretch this season, but they

636
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 1: and the Chiefs I think, have kind of hung their

637
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:58,760
Speaker 1: hat largely on being opportunistic and coming up with timely plays,

638
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:02,719
Speaker 1: you know, at critical junctures of the game. And you know,

639
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 1: I know Tyrne Matthews stands out in that area for

640
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:08,480
Speaker 1: the Chiefs defense. It seemingly has been a different player

641
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:11,480
Speaker 1: every week for the Bills defense. Would you agree that

642
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:15,280
Speaker 1: these are two defenses that thrive on making the timely plays.

643
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 1: They're not really those suffocating type defenses that just completely

644
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 1: shut you down. Yeah, it's a great that's a great one, Christen.

645
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 1: It reminds me brings me back to the eighties and

646
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 1: nineties and even in the two thousands when that term

647
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 1: ben don't break was popular. Right. You don't really hear

648
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:33,400
Speaker 1: about that kind of defensive strategy much anymore, but I know,

649
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:36,400
Speaker 1: me growing up and watching you know, the NFL throughout

650
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:38,760
Speaker 1: the seventies, eighties and getting to play in the nineties,

651
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 1: ben don't break was a popular type defensive strategy, right,

652
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:44,360
Speaker 1: And that's what it starts to make me think about

653
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:47,399
Speaker 1: when I see these two defenses. You know, my fear

654
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:50,479
Speaker 1: is obviously covering the Chiefs on the Believing podcast Believe

655
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:54,920
Speaker 1: in Chiefs podcast network. You know, my fear with this

656
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:57,719
Speaker 1: team and talking about them week after week is when

657
00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:00,640
Speaker 1: does the luck run out? You know, when don't you

658
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:03,400
Speaker 1: come up with the big plays? Is it luck? Is

659
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:07,359
Speaker 1: it preparation? Is its skill talent? That's where it's really

660
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:09,440
Speaker 1: hard to draw the line with this defense. You just,

661
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:12,000
Speaker 1: you know, you don't want to be you don't want

662
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 1: this to be the week obviously the AFC championship game

663
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 1: or a playoff game when it's one and done. You

664
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:18,000
Speaker 1: don't want that to be the week when you when

665
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:20,160
Speaker 1: you're quote you know not that you know, coach Ottenheimer

666
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 1: used to tell us in Kansas City, there's no luck

667
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:24,400
Speaker 1: in football, but you just don't want that luck to

668
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:26,920
Speaker 1: run out. And that and that's been my biggest fear

669
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:29,200
Speaker 1: as a fan of the Chiefs, covering the Chiefs and

670
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:31,879
Speaker 1: just a fan of football in general, when teams are

671
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:34,520
Speaker 1: taking that tact, you just you just don't want the

672
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 1: luck to run out. You know. I kind of saw

673
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 1: that with my I live in Philadelphia now and watching

674
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:41,960
Speaker 1: my my Eagles, you know, during that twenty seventeen run.

675
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 1: You know, just just please just let the luck keep going.

676
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:47,480
Speaker 1: And that's you know, that's hope, isn't a strategy. And

677
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:50,719
Speaker 1: I think that's what Chiefs fans should be wary of

678
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:54,880
Speaker 1: this week against a team in Buffalo that is super

679
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 1: talented and super and like you said, super opportunistic. Well,

680
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:02,600
Speaker 1: the Chiefs in the quarterback Pat Mahomes and everybody took

681
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:05,399
Speaker 1: a deep breath when he got up woozy from from

682
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:08,480
Speaker 1: the strange hit that he took in the Cleveland game.

683
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:11,719
Speaker 1: It seems a foregone conclusion that he's going to be

684
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 1: able to play this week because it seems like it

685
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 1: wasn't even a classic concussion type of impact that did it.

686
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:21,360
Speaker 1: It was more of a nerve damage thing. But be

687
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:23,359
Speaker 1: that as it may, and we feel like he's gonna play.

688
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 1: The thing that we've been talking about that is more

689
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 1: of a fact. It would be his toe rather than

690
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 1: the concussion. I think his mobility, if it's limited, it

691
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 1: could change his style of play and kind of change

692
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 1: the way that offense may look at times. Yeah, that's

693
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:43,600
Speaker 1: a really great point, Steve. You know, granted, were everybody,

694
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:45,920
Speaker 1: every Chief fan, I think every football fan you know

695
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 1: is hoping he comes back. Because you want to play

696
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:49,000
Speaker 1: your best, right, if you want to play the best.

697
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:50,399
Speaker 1: If the Bills are going to go out and win

698
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:53,719
Speaker 1: this game, which they are absolutely capable of doing, as

699
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:56,280
Speaker 1: any team that plays on a Sunday in the NFL,

700
00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:58,360
Speaker 1: you want to you want to beat the best, right,

701
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:00,239
Speaker 1: you don't want to say a little You don't want

702
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:02,080
Speaker 1: that asterisk next to it. You know, we didn't they

703
00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:04,840
Speaker 1: didn't have my homes. But but you bring up a

704
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:06,880
Speaker 1: really great point. I think he is going to play.

705
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:11,800
Speaker 1: You nailed it because I am way more worried about

706
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:15,440
Speaker 1: his fear and his trepidation and and call it gunshy

707
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:17,960
Speaker 1: nous or whatever you want to call it. With his

708
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:20,359
Speaker 1: ability to move up into the pocket. Right, We've never

709
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:22,600
Speaker 1: really the Chiefs over the last several years have never

710
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 1: really struggled with past protection, even when they've had some

711
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 1: reshuffling of the offensive line. Patrick number one, it's like

712
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:30,359
Speaker 1: he's got six eyes, two on the side of his head,

713
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:32,480
Speaker 1: two in the back, and two in the front. So

714
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 1: he has an uncanny way of getting up into the

715
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 1: pocket and finding those open spaces. If he loses that

716
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:42,239
Speaker 1: mobility and that ability to throw the ball, you know,

717
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 1: off his back foot, off his front foot running jogging walking,

718
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:49,160
Speaker 1: however he throws the ball under his through his legs,

719
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 1: over his head. You know, we don't want to lose that, right,

720
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 1: We don't do. The Chiefs fans don't want to see

721
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:57,799
Speaker 1: him not be able to use his whole arsenal. And that,

722
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 1: you're right, is probably the biggest fear that fan should have,

723
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:03,840
Speaker 1: more than what could have been a true concussion or

724
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:05,840
Speaker 1: not a concussion, or a pinch nerve or a loss

725
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:09,320
Speaker 1: of oxygen or or however it happened. Um, it's really

726
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 1: about that mobility that he has that makes him, you know,

727
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 1: really special, and that he is truly a drop back

728
00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:18,279
Speaker 1: quarterback that can that can be mobile. He's not you know,

729
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:21,880
Speaker 1: your classic running quarterback. He's a you know, Patrick Mahomes

730
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:25,239
Speaker 1: is a is a drop back quarterback. Um, and if

731
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:27,919
Speaker 1: he loses any of those skills, you know, that could

732
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:31,480
Speaker 1: put that chiefs or offense definitely in a disadvantage. Knowing

733
00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:35,440
Speaker 1: Josh Allen's competitive fire, from our end of things, it

734
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 1: stands to reason that he's going to be supremely motivated

735
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:41,239
Speaker 1: to make up for what was probably, in his mind

736
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:46,359
Speaker 1: a substandard performance back in Week six. Steve Spagnolo did

737
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:49,919
Speaker 1: a really good job of giving his corner safety help

738
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 1: in man coverage situations. He mixed it up a great

739
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:56,840
Speaker 1: deal on Josh. Even when he gave similar pre snap looks,

740
00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:58,680
Speaker 1: he changed it on the back end or what have you,

741
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 1: and really had Josh kind of put up for a

742
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:05,279
Speaker 1: good portion of that game. Should we anticipate a dramatically

743
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:08,839
Speaker 1: different approach from Spagnolo in this game or or a

744
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:11,440
Speaker 1: lot of the same where he just continually spins the

745
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:15,239
Speaker 1: dial on him. Now that's Chris, that's you know, that's

746
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:19,759
Speaker 1: what Steve has done. Coach Spagnola has any young quarterback, uh,

747
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:21,920
Speaker 1: you know, not to Josh is young anymore. But in

748
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:24,760
Speaker 1: the grand scheme of things. Right, He's not Tom Brady's

749
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 1: not Drew Brees. He still probably hasn't seen everything that

750
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:32,960
Speaker 1: an NFL quarterback will ultimately seem. You know, that's what

751
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:35,759
Speaker 1: coach Spaks does. He just throws the kitchen sink at

752
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:38,439
Speaker 1: you and tries to get these younger or i'll call them,

753
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:41,879
Speaker 1: less experienced quarterbacks, especially in a big game like this.

754
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:44,359
Speaker 1: He's gonna try to throw everything at them and get

755
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:46,160
Speaker 1: them off their game a little bit, right, get him

756
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:48,719
Speaker 1: to make a mistake and then kind of playing right

757
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:50,920
Speaker 1: back into your hands and what you had said earlier

758
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:55,319
Speaker 1: help that Chief's defense become more opportunistic. Right. That's that's

759
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:59,360
Speaker 1: why this Chiefs defense is known that way, right, because

760
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:03,320
Speaker 1: coach just throws things. He throws different looks, different blitz

761
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:07,799
Speaker 1: his corners, backers, he stunts up front with the defensive line. Look,

762
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:09,759
Speaker 1: you just saw a quick, you know, spin move there.

763
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:12,440
Speaker 1: You know, he's got that team well coached to get

764
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:16,760
Speaker 1: after quarterbacks. And that is what the Chiefs defense needs

765
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 1: to do to overcompensate for their ability to stop the

766
00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:24,080
Speaker 1: run at times and to not be the best in coverage.

767
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:26,279
Speaker 1: You know that that you would expect out of a

768
00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:29,799
Speaker 1: you know almost uh you know what is now three

769
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:33,000
Speaker 1: AFC championship team, you know, a Super Bowl champion, and

770
00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:36,120
Speaker 1: you know, you wouldn't expect that, you'd expect the defense

771
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 1: to have a little bit more than they have, but

772
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:39,719
Speaker 1: I think they do a lot of it with you know,

773
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:43,359
Speaker 1: smoking mirrors and putting talent in the right space at

774
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:46,520
Speaker 1: the right time. Joe, thanks very much for the time

775
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:48,399
Speaker 1: you gave us today. We're out of time on our end,

00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:50,239
Speaker 1: but we thank you for joining us and giving us

777
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:52,040
Speaker 1: a little more insight on the Chiefs. We appreciate it.

778
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:54,600
Speaker 1: Thanks Joe, my pleasure. Guys, thanks for having me. All right,

00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:03,720
Speaker 1: Break time for us, But when we come back, we'll

782
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:06,320
Speaker 1: set up the Twitter poll and see where the early

783
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 1: voting has your votes going. As we're asking which aspect

784
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 1: of the Bills game plan could have the biggest impact

785
00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:16,160
Speaker 1: against the Chiefs on Sunday and why so we'll get

786
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:18,319
Speaker 1: to that next Here on One Bill's Live, presented by

787
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:33,439
Speaker 1: Kalid to Health, This is Buffalo Bills Radio. Chris Brown,

788
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:38,440
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker one Bills Live Hump Day edition, and we

789
00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:41,719
Speaker 1: want to set the table on today's Twitter poll at

790
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:44,600
Speaker 1: this point in time of the show, as we'll be

791
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:46,960
Speaker 1: getting to your phone calls at eight oh three five

792
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:50,360
Speaker 1: fifty in the next hour, as we have an open

793
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:53,400
Speaker 1: hour for you, and we are asking which aspect of

794
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 1: the Bills game plan could have the biggest impact against

795
00:42:57,719 --> 00:43:00,640
Speaker 1: the Chiefs and why. And we're basically laying out Bills,

796
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:03,720
Speaker 1: pass game bills, run game bills, run defense, bills, pass defense.

797
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:07,319
Speaker 1: Those are your choices, so pick from there and we'll

798
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:10,040
Speaker 1: take it away. And we do want to get to

799
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:11,960
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet, which, as you know, is brought to

800
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:16,759
Speaker 1: you by Corrigan Moving Systems. That's the official equipment moving

801
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:20,960
Speaker 1: company of the Buffalo Bills, Clent Framp. And on the

802
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:24,680
Speaker 1: tweet sheet here as we begin the day, beast Mode

803
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 1: is the first one in and he or she says

804
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 1: grass field with a fifty percent chance of rain and

805
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:33,680
Speaker 1: tempts in the forties. Field conditions and ability to deal

806
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:36,560
Speaker 1: with it will be the deciding factor. Beast Mode brings

807
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:38,800
Speaker 1: up a good point, Steve, there is a fifty percent

808
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 1: chance of rain. The high on Sunday is supposed to

809
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:46,480
Speaker 1: be forty six. The low is thirty eight. This game

810
00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:49,640
Speaker 1: doesn't kick off until six's forty, so you would anticipate

811
00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:51,600
Speaker 1: it being closer to the low than the high at

812
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:58,160
Speaker 1: that point in time. So mid thirties rain, yuck, yuck.

813
00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:02,680
Speaker 1: That stinks, bear right, though I'm not worried. Both teams

814
00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:04,399
Speaker 1: got to play in it. Yeah, and I flop around

815
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:06,640
Speaker 1: and the Bills live in western New York gets an

816
00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:08,520
Speaker 1: improvement over what it's been. I mean, did you get

817
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:11,200
Speaker 1: any snow last night? We got a dusting, I got

818
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:13,200
Speaker 1: a six inches, I got like, yeah, I gotta. We're

819
00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:16,120
Speaker 1: at the very you know, in Lancaster. We're in the

820
00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:19,319
Speaker 1: very northern end of Like I will tell you this.

821
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:22,160
Speaker 1: There are times where I can look out my kitchen

822
00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:25,360
Speaker 1: window overlooking my backyard and we're kind of on a

823
00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:28,000
Speaker 1: ridge up there, so I can we get out onto

824
00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:31,160
Speaker 1: Transit Road and I can see the Boston Hills from

825
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:35,080
Speaker 1: my neighborhood. We're so high elevation wise, right, so when

826
00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:38,560
Speaker 1: I look out my back kitchen window, I can see

827
00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:41,799
Speaker 1: the snow belt that's hitting you guys exactly. Yeah, I'm

828
00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:45,600
Speaker 1: straight east of the stadium in East Aurora and right

829
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:48,759
Speaker 1: just right off twenty eight and uh, we got it

830
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:50,960
Speaker 1: was it came down hard last night at times, and

831
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:53,120
Speaker 1: it didn't come out not forever because we only got

832
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:56,520
Speaker 1: you know, six inches or seven inches over there. But

833
00:44:56,960 --> 00:45:00,200
Speaker 1: uh yeah, we got some serious So the guys even

834
00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:05,000
Speaker 1: in that, and so the Bills players, Yeah, it's gonna stink,

835
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:06,759
Speaker 1: but you know what that's you know, that's just another

836
00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:09,279
Speaker 1: day at the office. Yeah. A lot of times the

837
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:14,600
Speaker 1: advantage in poor field conditions favor the offense because they

838
00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:17,319
Speaker 1: obviously know where they're going, while defenders are playing in

839
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:20,360
Speaker 1: more of a reactionary mode and have to react to

840
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:22,960
Speaker 1: what the offensive players are doing. They don't know where

841
00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:25,600
Speaker 1: they're going. They're reacting to the offensive player who knows

842
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:28,160
Speaker 1: exactly where he's going, whether he's running route, stepping up

843
00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:32,719
Speaker 1: into protection, what have you. So that could lead to

844
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:37,040
Speaker 1: a higher scoring affair if the defensive ability to react

845
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:40,399
Speaker 1: is compromised by poor field conditions. So something to keep

846
00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:41,880
Speaker 1: in mind. Let's look at the next one on the

847
00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:43,840
Speaker 1: tweet sheet from Jack k. He says, the Bills have

848
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:46,480
Speaker 1: to keep Josh upright and the wide receivers have to

849
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:49,000
Speaker 1: get open no matter what they need to move the

850
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:51,480
Speaker 1: ball and be able to put points on the board.

851
00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:53,759
Speaker 1: The best way to win might be to boat race

852
00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. You can only contain them long. You can

853
00:45:57,239 --> 00:46:00,400
Speaker 1: only contain them long for so long. Got a score

854
00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:03,120
Speaker 1: along with them. You gotta have. You gotta pass to

855
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:05,400
Speaker 1: stay on the field. I kind of I'm kind of

856
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:09,239
Speaker 1: leaning towards jack jack a here. This is this is

857
00:46:09,239 --> 00:46:10,839
Speaker 1: a team. You gotta score points to win. You're gonna

858
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:13,640
Speaker 1: have to score in the hot at least in the

859
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:17,560
Speaker 1: mid to high twenties, probably in the thirties. Yeah, if

860
00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:19,880
Speaker 1: your defense comes this team, your defense comes up with

861
00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:21,960
Speaker 1: a couple of key turnovers and you can cash in.

862
00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:23,879
Speaker 1: Maybe you only need to get to twenty eight because

863
00:46:23,880 --> 00:46:28,040
Speaker 1: you're taking two possessions away from that Chiefs offense. But yeah,

864
00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:30,080
Speaker 1: if you don't do that, if it's a clean game

865
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:32,360
Speaker 1: and the ball is not flopping all over the fields

866
00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:34,880
Speaker 1: because it's wet or whatever, thirty point. This is the

867
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:39,319
Speaker 1: thirty point a piece game, yea somewhere in there, Yeah,

868
00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:41,359
Speaker 1: thirty eight, thirty five something in there. And you think

869
00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:45,680
Speaker 1: it could go even that high. Yeah, and yeah it could, Yes, Yes,

870
00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:47,239
Speaker 1: if the Bills come up and show up like they

871
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:49,360
Speaker 1: did earlier in the year against some of these top defenses.

872
00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:53,280
Speaker 1: You know, they're hanging forty four on the Seattle Seahawks

873
00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:55,879
Speaker 1: when they were playing really well. They hung thirty four

874
00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:59,280
Speaker 1: on the Rams when they were playing really well. Yeah,

875
00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:01,759
Speaker 1: this is a team in Buffalo that they can light

876
00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:03,920
Speaker 1: it up if they need to, So I think they

877
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:06,640
Speaker 1: may have to. From Brian, he says, I have faith

878
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:09,360
Speaker 1: in our secondary in spite of the Chief's offensive prowess,

879
00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:11,680
Speaker 1: But can they stop the run. At the same time

880
00:47:11,800 --> 00:47:14,560
Speaker 1: last meeting, the answer to that question was no. If

881
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:17,919
Speaker 1: they can change that, the rest should take care of itself. Well,

882
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:20,160
Speaker 1: that's the problem with the Chiefs. You try to take

883
00:47:20,239 --> 00:47:22,520
Speaker 1: one thing away and they have a capability of doing

884
00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:26,160
Speaker 1: something else. I mean, and Clyde Edwards Hilaire, at least

885
00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:29,600
Speaker 1: the early indications are he will be back in the lineup,

886
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:34,040
Speaker 1: and I think that's a major edge for the Chiefs

887
00:47:34,080 --> 00:47:36,200
Speaker 1: if he can play, because I don't think Levion Bell

888
00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:39,520
Speaker 1: is what he was or what he once was anymore.

889
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:43,640
Speaker 1: So Yeah, I mean, if they have Clyde Edwards Hilaire

890
00:47:43,760 --> 00:47:46,759
Speaker 1: to go with Williams in the backfield, and you're going

891
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:49,120
Speaker 1: to over commit to stopping their passing games so you

892
00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:51,359
Speaker 1: don't get beat over the top, which was somewhat which

893
00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:55,239
Speaker 1: was essentially the approach back in Week six. While I

894
00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:58,840
Speaker 1: do think the front seven is better than it was

895
00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:02,440
Speaker 1: in Week six for the Bills, where they wouldn't be

896
00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:04,520
Speaker 1: giving up two hundred and forty five yards rushing, I

897
00:48:04,520 --> 00:48:06,040
Speaker 1: still could see them given up a buck and a

898
00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:09,319
Speaker 1: half or a buck eighty five on the ground and

899
00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:11,680
Speaker 1: that could still be the difference in the game. And yeah,

900
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:15,560
Speaker 1: and they're versatile. Yes, they can run it and bit

901
00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:19,640
Speaker 1: and win. They can pass it and win. They are

902
00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:25,839
Speaker 1: totally clicking on all cylinders offense. And the Bills, as

903
00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:29,360
Speaker 1: good as their passing game has been, have not tried

904
00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:31,120
Speaker 1: to run it all that. Man, they didn't even try

905
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:35,759
Speaker 1: in the in the Baltimore game, they just came out

906
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:37,759
Speaker 1: and said, listen, we're going four wise, we're gonna throw it,

907
00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:40,239
Speaker 1: and you know, that was the way they won that game. Now,

908
00:48:40,239 --> 00:48:42,440
Speaker 1: they certainly struggled to get in the end zone in

909
00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:45,440
Speaker 1: the first half. Both teams did, and a lot of it,

910
00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:48,439
Speaker 1: and I think it's interesting. I think the win did

911
00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:50,239
Speaker 1: have something something to do with a lot of that.

912
00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:56,080
Speaker 1: But nevertheless, you got to score points and the Bills

913
00:48:56,080 --> 00:48:58,520
Speaker 1: are gonna throw it to win this game. The Chiefs,

914
00:48:58,680 --> 00:49:01,920
Speaker 1: you think they've got enough for us to do to

915
00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:04,239

929
00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:56,400
Speaker 1: on the practice field today, but without Gabriel Davis and

930
00:49:56,480 --> 00:50:00,279
Speaker 1: Vernon Butler. Those two players not practicing today. Davis fring

931
00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:03,400
Speaker 1: an ankle injury in last week's game. Nowhord On Butler's injury.

932
00:50:03,719 --> 00:50:06,200
Speaker 1: We'll get the first injury report of the week later

933
00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:09,200
Speaker 1: this afternoon. Meanwhile, from the chief side of the ledger,

934
00:50:09,480 --> 00:50:13,400
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes expected to practice in a limited capacity today.

935
00:50:13,440 --> 00:50:16,520
Speaker 1: He remains in the concussion protocol. Will wait on the

936
00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:20,280
Speaker 1: chief's injury report for more details on that front. Stay

937
00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:23,680
Speaker 1: tuned at two pm to hear from the players after practice,

938
00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:26,759
Speaker 1: including quarterback Josh Allen, who will carry live here on

939
00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:30,160
Speaker 1: MSG and WGR and also stream on the various Buffalo

940
00:50:30,200 --> 00:50:34,120
Speaker 1: Bills social platforms. Philip Rivers is calling in quits after

941
00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:37,400
Speaker 1: seventeen seasons in the NFL. The former Chargers in Colts

942
00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:40,359
Speaker 1: QB told the San Diego Union Tribune that Tuesday night

943
00:50:40,400 --> 00:50:43,480
Speaker 1: that he is retiring. Drafted fourth overall in two thousand

944
00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:46,879
Speaker 1: and four draft, Rivers spent sixteen seasons but the San

945
00:50:46,920 --> 00:50:49,759
Speaker 1: Diego and Los Angeles Chargers. In his final campaign with

946
00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:52,560
Speaker 1: the Colts, he appeared in eight Pro Bowls. So the

947
00:50:52,640 --> 00:50:56,720
Speaker 1: last game of Philip Rivers' career played in Buffalo against

948
00:50:56,719 --> 00:51:00,239
Speaker 1: the Bills. In the immediate aftermath of the philadel Via

949
00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:03,680
Speaker 1: Eagles firing of Doug Peterson, one big question was whether

950
00:51:03,719 --> 00:51:05,920
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl winning coach would land another job. This

951
00:51:06,120 --> 00:51:09,280
Speaker 1: hiring cycle to date, the ex Eagles coach, hasn't generated

952
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:13,120
Speaker 1: much interest, and Peterson told the Philadelphia Inquirer in a

953
00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:16,480
Speaker 1: text that he's leaning toward taking the next year off

954
00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:20,520
Speaker 1: and preparing for next season. Trent Balky is back atop

955
00:51:20,560 --> 00:51:23,560
Speaker 1: the personnel department of an NFL club. The Jacksonville Jaguars

956
00:51:23,560 --> 00:51:26,520
Speaker 1: are expected to hire Balky as their GM. He has

957
00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:29,000
Speaker 1: been in Jacksonville for nearly a year, joining the team

958
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:31,840
Speaker 1: as director of Pro Personnel back in February, and was

959
00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:35,840
Speaker 1: then named interim GM after Dave Caldwell's firing in November.

960
00:51:36,239 --> 00:51:38,880
Speaker 1: Despite forty shots on goal, the Sabers fell to the

961
00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:41,479
Speaker 1: Flyers three nothing last night, splitting their two games stint

962
00:51:41,560 --> 00:51:44,480
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia. Brian Elliot recording a shutout for the Flyers

963
00:51:44,840 --> 00:51:47,480
Speaker 1: along to lost The Sabers lost goaltender Carter Hutton, who

964
00:51:47,480 --> 00:51:50,960
Speaker 1: was injured in the second period. Jonis Johansen finished the

965
00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:53,560
Speaker 1: game for Buffalo in Nette. The team returns to action

966
00:51:53,680 --> 00:51:57,680
Speaker 1: Friday when they play the Capitals in DC. That is

967
00:51:57,680 --> 00:52:01,040
Speaker 1: your sports update, Chris Brown, Steve Task. You're our number

968
00:52:01,040 --> 00:52:03,640
Speaker 1: two of a Wednesday Humpday edition of One Bills Live,

969
00:52:04,120 --> 00:52:06,360
Speaker 1: and we are going back to the phones where we

970
00:52:06,400 --> 00:52:08,560
Speaker 1: have been asking today which aspect of the Bills game

971
00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:12,480
Speaker 1: plan could have the biggest impact on the outcome against

972
00:52:12,520 --> 00:52:15,239
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. So we go to the phones and leading

973
00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:19,000
Speaker 1: us off as promised is one Steve in Orchard Park. Steve,

974
00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:22,359
Speaker 1: what do you have for us? You're on one Bills Live. Hey, guys,

975
00:52:22,360 --> 00:52:25,880
Speaker 1: how are you doing good? Just my thoughts are this.

976
00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:28,480
Speaker 1: I just want the team to go down there and

977
00:52:28,520 --> 00:52:31,319
Speaker 1: play balls in the walls. Football and that means, you know,

978
00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:35,239
Speaker 1: just throw everything that we have at them and not

979
00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:38,040
Speaker 1: worry about well we we want to take away their

980
00:52:38,040 --> 00:52:39,839
Speaker 1: pass or because we don't want to let them run.

981
00:52:39,920 --> 00:52:41,520
Speaker 1: You know, we're gonna have to defend the run, end

982
00:52:41,560 --> 00:52:45,080
Speaker 1: their paths, and you know, so much as being made

983
00:52:45,080 --> 00:52:47,560
Speaker 1: out of you know, it's going to be hard for

984
00:52:47,640 --> 00:52:50,480
Speaker 1: us to spaw them down. Granted, absolutely they got a

985
00:52:50,520 --> 00:52:55,879
Speaker 1: great offense, but guess what, so do we wereth the underdogs.

986
00:52:56,120 --> 00:52:59,040
Speaker 1: Nobody's giving us really much of a chance, you know,

987
00:52:59,239 --> 00:53:02,560
Speaker 1: national media. Let's just go out there and throw everything

988
00:53:02,600 --> 00:53:04,399
Speaker 1: at him, and hey, at the end of the day,

989
00:53:04,719 --> 00:53:06,920
Speaker 1: you could walk off the field and say, hey, we

990
00:53:07,480 --> 00:53:10,520
Speaker 1: we came here. You know, we blitzed Mahomes, We we

991
00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:13,480
Speaker 1: random ball we threw the ball. We you know, we

992
00:53:13,560 --> 00:53:15,400
Speaker 1: did whatever we have to do to win. If we

993
00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:18,160
Speaker 1: come up short, oh well, I don't want to play

994
00:53:18,360 --> 00:53:21,120
Speaker 1: death by a thousand cuts like last game. That's not

995
00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:23,640
Speaker 1: what the fancier want. They want us to go down

996
00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:28,279
Speaker 1: there with an arrogance, with almost a copyiness in bravado, like, Hey,

997
00:53:28,640 --> 00:53:30,680
Speaker 1: we're gonna beat these guys. We're not going to worry

998
00:53:30,680 --> 00:53:32,919
Speaker 1: about what they do. They better worry about what we're

999
00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:36,000
Speaker 1: gonna do. That's what the fans want. Yeah, I get it, Steve.

1000
00:53:36,080 --> 00:53:38,360
Speaker 1: You want to dictate play to your opponent, not react

1001
00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:41,359
Speaker 1: to them. And I totally respect all of that. And

1002
00:53:41,640 --> 00:53:44,880
Speaker 1: it makes me wonder because what we haven't seen in

1003
00:53:44,920 --> 00:53:47,480
Speaker 1: the last few weeks in the playoffs are any of

1004
00:53:47,520 --> 00:53:50,880
Speaker 1: those unconventional plays shall we say that Brian Dable has

1005
00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:53,320
Speaker 1: drawn up through the course of the season. You wonder

1006
00:53:53,320 --> 00:53:55,839
Speaker 1: if one of those comes out of the hat this

1007
00:53:55,880 --> 00:53:59,520
Speaker 1: weekend against the Chiefs, knowing you're probably going to have

1008
00:53:59,600 --> 00:54:02,520
Speaker 1: to sell how some way manage some kind of easy

1009
00:54:02,600 --> 00:54:05,279
Speaker 1: score if you will, I mean, you'll score anyway you can.

1010
00:54:06,040 --> 00:54:09,000
Speaker 1: But I think to beat this team you have to

1011
00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:11,879
Speaker 1: get a couple of those easier type scores, whether it's

1012
00:54:12,120 --> 00:54:15,239
Speaker 1: a three play scoring drive or some kind of trick

1013
00:54:15,280 --> 00:54:16,960
Speaker 1: play that you pull out of the hat that works

1014
00:54:16,960 --> 00:54:19,520
Speaker 1: for you and turns into a giant chunk play or

1015
00:54:19,560 --> 00:54:22,279
Speaker 1: even a scoring play. And I'm referencing stuff like the

1016
00:54:22,360 --> 00:54:26,000
Speaker 1: touchdown pass realize a McKenzie to Josh Allen against Arizona,

1017
00:54:27,280 --> 00:54:31,480
Speaker 1: the Philly special play from John Brown to Devin Singletary

1018
00:54:31,520 --> 00:54:34,760
Speaker 1: in the Thanksgiving game against Dallas touchdown, Like, I'm wondering

1019
00:54:34,800 --> 00:54:36,960
Speaker 1: if you have to draw up one of those get

1020
00:54:36,960 --> 00:54:40,440
Speaker 1: an easy score, so you're not, you know, going on

1021
00:54:40,440 --> 00:54:42,640
Speaker 1: these ten and twelve play drives just to get seven

1022
00:54:42,680 --> 00:54:46,040
Speaker 1: points on the board. Yeah, I agree with him offensively.

1023
00:54:46,680 --> 00:54:48,880
Speaker 1: Steve from Orchard Park, I think you got to go

1024
00:54:48,920 --> 00:54:52,560
Speaker 1: in there and play with reckless abandon Your discipline and

1025
00:54:52,600 --> 00:54:55,000
Speaker 1: your training are gonna keep you from doing stupid stuff.

1026
00:54:56,320 --> 00:54:58,399
Speaker 1: You're gonna You're gonna mind your p's and q's because

1027
00:54:58,400 --> 00:55:01,080
Speaker 1: that's how you get to these games. That's ingrained in

1028
00:55:01,160 --> 00:55:04,120
Speaker 1: you now, day after day of preparation. But their mindset

1029
00:55:04,200 --> 00:55:06,839
Speaker 1: has to be in there, has to be that you're

1030
00:55:06,840 --> 00:55:09,520
Speaker 1: cutting it up. There's nothing left in the table. You

1031
00:55:09,520 --> 00:55:11,520
Speaker 1: gotta go out and go You gotta you know, if

1032
00:55:11,560 --> 00:55:14,759
Speaker 1: you're gonna go for go for it, play hard and

1033
00:55:14,800 --> 00:55:17,680
Speaker 1: look for every opportunity. When the opportunities arise, don't hesitate,

1034
00:55:17,760 --> 00:55:19,920
Speaker 1: jump on them. Don't think like, well it's too much

1035
00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:21,799
Speaker 1: of a risk or anything. You may as well risk it,

1036
00:55:22,239 --> 00:55:24,719
Speaker 1: so go for it. So as much as you say that,

1037
00:55:25,680 --> 00:55:30,680
Speaker 1: how would you have characterized the approach in week six

1038
00:55:30,840 --> 00:55:33,840
Speaker 1: by the Bills? I mean, the game plan made sense

1039
00:55:33,920 --> 00:55:37,960
Speaker 1: in theory, but I think to some it may have

1040
00:55:38,080 --> 00:55:43,320
Speaker 1: looked a little bit what's the right word here, cautious?

1041
00:55:44,320 --> 00:55:47,720
Speaker 1: Maybe the defensive game plan was cautious, and with good reason.

1042
00:55:47,880 --> 00:55:50,120
Speaker 1: I mean, this team will beat you over the top

1043
00:55:50,120 --> 00:55:52,520
Speaker 1: and the blink of an eye, right, So you'll understand

1044
00:55:52,560 --> 00:55:55,720
Speaker 1: that the defensive game plan in week six held water

1045
00:55:55,800 --> 00:55:58,080
Speaker 1: as far as I was concerned. Soolutely. Here's the thing.

1046
00:55:58,120 --> 00:56:00,279
Speaker 1: It's not about the game plan, okay, at it. You

1047
00:56:00,320 --> 00:56:02,799
Speaker 1: don't like the fact that they were gonna keep Pat

1048
00:56:02,880 --> 00:56:06,839
Speaker 1: Mahomes handing the football off instead of throwing it. It's

1049
00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:11,040
Speaker 1: the game plan is one thing. Your mindset and and

1050
00:56:11,160 --> 00:56:14,799
Speaker 1: your attitude is another. You can go for it even

1051
00:56:14,840 --> 00:56:16,920
Speaker 1: if you're handing the ball off fifty five times and

1052
00:56:16,960 --> 00:56:20,040
Speaker 1: throwing it ten times. Or fifteen times. You can go

1053
00:56:20,160 --> 00:56:22,680
Speaker 1: for it on all the other and particularly on defense,

1054
00:56:23,600 --> 00:56:25,960
Speaker 1: you know you've got to You've got to go for

1055
00:56:26,080 --> 00:56:28,520
Speaker 1: it defensively too, which means punching the ball out, which

1056
00:56:28,560 --> 00:56:30,560
Speaker 1: means stop on the run, which means not letting these

1057
00:56:30,560 --> 00:56:34,120
Speaker 1: guys snap off thirty five forty yard runs. Yeah, if

1058
00:56:34,160 --> 00:56:36,600
Speaker 1: it's a conservative game plan that has nothing to do

1059
00:56:36,640 --> 00:56:39,719
Speaker 1: with the aggression with which you play it, that's more

1060
00:56:39,760 --> 00:56:46,160
Speaker 1: important to me. The game plan is formulated and thought up,

1061
00:56:47,320 --> 00:56:50,040
Speaker 1: giving your team the best chance to do what you

1062
00:56:50,160 --> 00:56:54,799
Speaker 1: do best and make them do take away what they

1063
00:56:54,840 --> 00:57:01,600
Speaker 1: do best your opponent, whether it's conservative or risky, is

1064
00:57:01,640 --> 00:57:07,200
Speaker 1: beside the point all execution and attitude. And you can

1065
00:57:07,280 --> 00:57:11,400
Speaker 1: go for broke whether you're running the ball sixty times

1066
00:57:11,800 --> 00:57:16,280
Speaker 1: or throwing at sixty times. That's and defensively, you know

1067
00:57:16,320 --> 00:57:20,240
Speaker 1: you got to defend everything anyway. But you know it's

1068
00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:23,400
Speaker 1: how you play within that game plan that is the difference.

1069
00:57:23,960 --> 00:57:26,240
Speaker 1: And you know coaches will tell you that, and you

1070
00:57:26,240 --> 00:57:28,240
Speaker 1: can come up with the best game plan of all time,

1071
00:57:28,480 --> 00:57:30,800
Speaker 1: but you got to execute it with some reckless abandon

1072
00:57:31,040 --> 00:57:33,640
Speaker 1: So don't get caught up in the are they gonna

1073
00:57:33,680 --> 00:57:36,360
Speaker 1: run here? They're gonna pass here? Are they gonna, you know,

1074
00:57:36,400 --> 00:57:38,320
Speaker 1: do this Ana? Are they gonna go for it on

1075
00:57:38,360 --> 00:57:40,600
Speaker 1: a fourth and two in their own end of the field.

1076
00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:43,480
Speaker 1: Are they gonna go for a block punt when they

1077
00:57:43,520 --> 00:57:45,840
Speaker 1: know that that is there to be had even though

1078
00:57:45,960 --> 00:57:48,520
Speaker 1: they're gonna get good feel position anyway? Or are they

1079
00:57:48,520 --> 00:57:51,000
Speaker 1: gonna give up a you know, a chance for to

1080
00:57:51,040 --> 00:57:53,920
Speaker 1: get pinned down on their own end? Are they gonna

1081
00:57:54,320 --> 00:57:59,640
Speaker 1: throw it when it's third and short and you're trying

1082
00:57:59,680 --> 00:58:02,040
Speaker 1: to run the clock out? You know, are they going

1083
00:58:02,120 --> 00:58:04,040
Speaker 1: to do that? Is that the kind of reckless abandon

1084
00:58:04,120 --> 00:58:06,440
Speaker 1: your time you're gonna play with and coach with. The

1085
00:58:06,520 --> 00:58:08,640
Speaker 1: game plan is what it is you do what gives

1086
00:58:08,640 --> 00:58:11,520
Speaker 1: you the best chance to win. It's how you execute

1087
00:58:11,520 --> 00:58:13,680
Speaker 1: that game plan and what kind of attitude you bring

1088
00:58:13,720 --> 00:58:16,120
Speaker 1: to it. That's the difference. Back to the phones and

1089
00:58:16,160 --> 00:58:18,480
Speaker 1: to Alex in Rochester, Alex, what do you have for us?

1090
00:58:18,520 --> 00:58:21,760
Speaker 1: You're on One Bill's Live. Hey guys, thanks for having

1091
00:58:21,760 --> 00:58:24,400
Speaker 1: me on. A big fan of the show, yeah, Steve.

1092
00:58:24,840 --> 00:58:28,080
Speaker 1: We my family growing up. Our dog was named Tasker

1093
00:58:28,120 --> 00:58:30,920
Speaker 1: and our our other dog was named Jail, So we're

1094
00:58:31,360 --> 00:58:36,480
Speaker 1: huge fans here. But listen, I think this game, you know,

1095
00:58:36,520 --> 00:58:39,280
Speaker 1: comes down to who has the edge, and I mean

1096
00:58:39,320 --> 00:58:42,240
Speaker 1: who has the edge the edge and it going into

1097
00:58:42,240 --> 00:58:44,800
Speaker 1: the game, and I just feel like whether or not

1098
00:58:44,920 --> 00:58:48,400
Speaker 1: Mahomes is playing, you know, I would say, you know

1099
00:58:48,480 --> 00:58:51,520
Speaker 1: from playing sports, and I love myself, he's definitely not

1100
00:58:51,560 --> 00:58:54,320
Speaker 1: going to be at one hundred percent. Um. I believe

1101
00:58:54,360 --> 00:58:56,360
Speaker 1: that to be a concussion. I suffered one and had

1102
00:58:56,520 --> 00:59:00,040
Speaker 1: very similar reactions where you're woozy, can't stand up, and

1103
00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:02,560
Speaker 1: it was weeks before I was ready to go back.

1104
00:59:02,560 --> 00:59:05,439
Speaker 1: Now I understand I'm not professional athlete he is, but

1105
00:59:05,680 --> 00:59:08,000
Speaker 1: you know, the brain is is I think the same

1106
00:59:08,040 --> 00:59:10,919
Speaker 1: for everybody in the way it can recover. Um, whether

1107
00:59:10,960 --> 00:59:12,880
Speaker 1: you're a professional athlete or not, you're gonna be affected

1108
00:59:12,920 --> 00:59:14,800
Speaker 1: the same way. So I think we have the edge

1109
00:59:14,800 --> 00:59:17,800
Speaker 1: in that. I think we're healthier and um, you know,

1110
00:59:17,880 --> 00:59:20,600
Speaker 1: we came out of the Baltimore Ravens game and in

1111
00:59:20,680 --> 00:59:24,040
Speaker 1: better shape, um, and with more confidence, especially on the

1112
00:59:24,080 --> 00:59:27,720
Speaker 1: defensive side, than than the Chiefs did coming out of

1113
00:59:27,720 --> 00:59:30,960
Speaker 1: that Browns game. So I think we've got the edge

1114
00:59:30,960 --> 00:59:33,760
Speaker 1: in this game. And the underdog thing I think plays

1115
00:59:33,800 --> 00:59:36,960
Speaker 1: into our favor. Uh, just gives up the ability to

1116
00:59:36,960 --> 00:59:40,200
Speaker 1: to really go into this game with confidence and um

1117
00:59:40,200 --> 00:59:42,240
Speaker 1: and hope, hopefully, you know, we'll come out with a victory.

1118
00:59:42,240 --> 00:59:45,800
Speaker 1: But this team's done everything that way over exceeded expectations.

1119
00:59:45,840 --> 00:59:48,480
Speaker 1: So it's been a great year. Thanks guys for covering

1120
00:59:48,480 --> 00:59:50,480
Speaker 1: all of it. It's been a great distraction for what's

1121
00:59:50,480 --> 00:59:53,680
Speaker 1: been going on outside of outside of footfall soil. Thanks.

1122
00:59:53,680 --> 00:59:58,880
Speaker 1: I'll take my take your comments office. Thanks. We were

1123
00:59:58,920 --> 01:00:01,840
Speaker 1: just talking about that last hour. We were talking about

1124
01:00:02,360 --> 01:00:07,840
Speaker 1: mahomes turf toe injury and how his mobility was clearly

1125
01:00:07,840 --> 01:00:10,640
Speaker 1: compromised in the game last week. It'll be interesting to

1126
01:00:10,640 --> 01:00:13,560
Speaker 1: see if it's compromised even this week, if in fact

1127
01:00:13,600 --> 01:00:15,920
Speaker 1: he does play. And that's why Steve and I were

1128
01:00:15,960 --> 01:00:19,240
Speaker 1: of the opinion that hey, blitz this guy early. Test

1129
01:00:19,320 --> 01:00:22,880
Speaker 1: his mobility, see if it's compromised by that toe injury,

1130
01:00:23,680 --> 01:00:25,840
Speaker 1: and if he can't move around like he usually does,

1131
01:00:26,360 --> 01:00:29,200
Speaker 1: that severely limits his ability to make plays off script.

1132
01:00:30,080 --> 01:00:32,280
Speaker 1: You can see it. I mean, he is not driving

1133
01:00:32,280 --> 01:00:34,200
Speaker 1: off that foot at all. He's still moving around, but

1134
01:00:34,640 --> 01:00:36,800
Speaker 1: not with nearly the speed that you're used to seeing

1135
01:00:36,840 --> 01:00:39,320
Speaker 1: from him. Yeah, he was really he was hampered. He

1136
01:00:39,320 --> 01:00:41,600
Speaker 1: got up and he was limping and in the MSG

1137
01:00:41,760 --> 01:00:45,160
Speaker 1: viewers are watching. He's significant. He's limping like Gabriel Davis

1138
01:00:45,160 --> 01:00:49,240
Speaker 1: did last week. You know it was significant. And when

1139
01:00:49,240 --> 01:00:52,880
Speaker 1: he runs, you can tell he is hobbled. So it's

1140
01:00:52,880 --> 01:00:54,600
Speaker 1: gonna be an issue because and I'll tell you and

1141
01:00:54,880 --> 01:00:56,880
Speaker 1: I get it too. They'll they'll fix him up and

1142
01:00:56,880 --> 01:00:58,520
Speaker 1: the week off is gonna help him, and we'll give

1143
01:00:58,560 --> 01:01:01,320
Speaker 1: him some particular and early boost in that game. And

1144
01:01:01,480 --> 01:01:04,240
Speaker 1: and they may they may give him a little shot

1145
01:01:04,840 --> 01:01:07,720
Speaker 1: to help him out. But um, you know, not being

1146
01:01:07,720 --> 01:01:12,320
Speaker 1: one hundred percent, you know he's they still got plenty

1147
01:01:12,320 --> 01:01:14,680
Speaker 1: of gas in the tank. The Bills are gonna have

1148
01:01:14,720 --> 01:01:16,120
Speaker 1: to play their best. They're gonna have to make some

1149
01:01:16,160 --> 01:01:19,080
Speaker 1: plays against him. He can beat you stand in the pocket,

1150
01:01:19,160 --> 01:01:21,840
Speaker 1: and the Bills have seen he can also. They can

1151
01:01:21,880 --> 01:01:23,880
Speaker 1: also beat the Bills. They just stand there and hand

1152
01:01:23,880 --> 01:01:27,320
Speaker 1: it off forty times forty six times in the game

1153
01:01:27,600 --> 01:01:30,360
Speaker 1: like they did uh the last time they played. So

1154
01:01:31,440 --> 01:01:38,400
Speaker 1: um yeah, Pat mahomes physical health is an issue. I

1155
01:01:38,400 --> 01:01:41,040
Speaker 1: don't think it's going to be the deciding factor. Let's

1156
01:01:41,040 --> 01:01:44,720
Speaker 1: go back to the phones. We go to Jeff in NYC. Jeff,

1157
01:01:44,720 --> 01:01:46,680
Speaker 1: what do you have for us? You're on one Bill's

1158
01:01:46,720 --> 01:01:51,400
Speaker 1: Live our question and a comment a tiscer a tasker.

1159
01:01:51,520 --> 01:01:55,120
Speaker 1: Do you miss start Stephen over? Oh yeah, no, it

1160
01:01:55,160 --> 01:01:57,440
Speaker 1: doesn't keep me up way at night waiting, you know,

1161
01:01:57,480 --> 01:02:01,840
Speaker 1: missing it, But no, go ahead. I think Hija McKenzie

1162
01:02:02,200 --> 01:02:07,000
Speaker 1: huld should be more part of the game plan, especially

1163
01:02:07,080 --> 01:02:13,000
Speaker 1: on a screenplays. Um, do you think that he's being

1164
01:02:13,080 --> 01:02:17,280
Speaker 1: kept off the plate chart for a reason? Well, I

1165
01:02:17,320 --> 01:02:20,560
Speaker 1: mean you're trying to once you get to the playoffs, Jeff,

1166
01:02:20,600 --> 01:02:22,600
Speaker 1: you're trying to win that game, and you're doing everything

1167
01:02:22,640 --> 01:02:24,680
Speaker 1: you can to win that game. You worry about next week,

1168
01:02:24,760 --> 01:02:27,400
Speaker 1: next week if you're fortunate enough to get there. So

1169
01:02:27,800 --> 01:02:31,760
Speaker 1: I don't I don't think they're they were necessarily hiding

1170
01:02:31,880 --> 01:02:34,360
Speaker 1: him each of the last two weeks. Per se, he

1171
01:02:34,440 --> 01:02:37,200
Speaker 1: only got four snaps against the Colts on offense eight

1172
01:02:37,200 --> 01:02:41,800
Speaker 1: snaps last week, which is sharply down from his usage now.

1173
01:02:42,160 --> 01:02:48,120
Speaker 1: As Steve pointed out earlier this week, Gabriel Davis, John Brown,

1174
01:02:48,680 --> 01:02:50,920
Speaker 1: we're both healthy. Everybody if there every one of their

1175
01:02:50,960 --> 01:02:53,960
Speaker 1: top four receivers was healthy or at least playing in

1176
01:02:54,000 --> 01:02:56,120
Speaker 1: the game. I think we can all agree Beasley isn't

1177
01:02:56,120 --> 01:02:59,800
Speaker 1: one hundred percent with the knee injury. But the fact

1178
01:03:00,040 --> 01:03:01,560
Speaker 1: means that all four of them are good enough to

1179
01:03:01,600 --> 01:03:05,880
Speaker 1: suit up and play, and that compromises mackenzie getting on

1180
01:03:05,960 --> 01:03:09,200
Speaker 1: the field unless you decide to go five wide receivers

1181
01:03:09,200 --> 01:03:11,480
Speaker 1: in an empty backfield, which I don't anticipate you are

1182
01:03:11,520 --> 01:03:14,959
Speaker 1: doing anytime soon. If Isaiah McKinsey's getting on the field,

1183
01:03:15,000 --> 01:03:18,480
Speaker 1: somebody has to come off, and that usually would mean

1184
01:03:18,600 --> 01:03:25,560
Speaker 1: Gabriel Davis or usually two people and Gabriel Davis and

1185
01:03:26,120 --> 01:03:30,560
Speaker 1: John Brown or Cole Beasley or Dawson Knox. But even so,

1186
01:03:30,960 --> 01:03:33,200
Speaker 1: you know they're gonna go four wide. They only go

1187
01:03:33,320 --> 01:03:35,480
Speaker 1: four wide. We only see him go four wide usually

1188
01:03:36,160 --> 01:03:40,680
Speaker 1: almost always with Gabriel Davis healthy. His health this week

1189
01:03:40,840 --> 01:03:42,360
Speaker 1: is going to be a big factor in how much

1190
01:03:42,480 --> 01:03:46,320
Speaker 1: in what happens now Isaiah McKenzie. You did get an

1191
01:03:46,400 --> 01:03:49,040
Speaker 1: idea of why he's on the team in Week seventeen

1192
01:03:49,120 --> 01:03:52,160
Speaker 1: against the Dolphins, no question about it. He did everything

1193
01:03:52,240 --> 01:03:54,840
Speaker 1: for the team. He was their go to number one target.

1194
01:03:55,640 --> 01:03:58,120
Speaker 1: He played extremely well. He did he did everything for

1195
01:03:58,240 --> 01:04:00,600
Speaker 1: him and he came through with three tds. It was

1196
01:04:00,680 --> 01:04:05,600
Speaker 1: awesome he did that because the guys they really want

1197
01:04:05,640 --> 01:04:10,600
Speaker 1: to help them win this game. We're resting. Yeah, that's

1198
01:04:10,720 --> 01:04:13,160
Speaker 1: that's all there is to it. The Bills like the

1199
01:04:13,280 --> 01:04:16,560
Speaker 1: skill set of the guys ahead of Isaiah more than Isaiah.

1200
01:04:16,720 --> 01:04:19,640
Speaker 1: Isaiah must be more limited than they are. Certainly he's

1201
01:04:19,680 --> 01:04:23,680
Speaker 1: done some great things. And this is like we've seen

1202
01:04:23,800 --> 01:04:27,160
Speaker 1: before with these the old nineties teams and this team

1203
01:04:27,200 --> 01:04:29,000
Speaker 1: and other teams around the league that are very good.

1204
01:04:31,000 --> 01:04:33,280
Speaker 1: They're really good players that cannot get on the field

1205
01:04:33,320 --> 01:04:35,600
Speaker 1: because you're sued so deep, but at that position, so

1206
01:04:35,760 --> 01:04:40,120
Speaker 1: you wonder, you know. I think that's a long way

1207
01:04:40,160 --> 01:04:43,520
Speaker 1: of saying Gabriel Davis's availability this week could very well

1208
01:04:44,000 --> 01:04:48,080
Speaker 1: determine how much or how little time Isaiah Mackenzie sees

1209
01:04:48,560 --> 01:04:53,160
Speaker 1: on the field. And I still say, even if Gabriel

1210
01:04:53,240 --> 01:04:55,920
Speaker 1: Davis does play this weekend and is healthy enough to go,

1211
01:04:57,360 --> 01:04:59,280
Speaker 1: I still think there are areas where you can make

1212
01:04:59,440 --> 01:05:03,400
Speaker 1: use of Kenzie, whether it's a short yardage situation and

1213
01:05:03,520 --> 01:05:06,280
Speaker 1: getting him on you know, one of those jet sweep

1214
01:05:06,360 --> 01:05:08,720
Speaker 1: type of plays down in the red zone. He's been

1215
01:05:08,760 --> 01:05:11,680
Speaker 1: effective down there, very quietly, scored five touchdowns for this

1216
01:05:11,840 --> 01:05:15,600
Speaker 1: offense this season. So there are packages that you can

1217
01:05:15,680 --> 01:05:18,160
Speaker 1: put into the game plan for him, even if you

1218
01:05:18,320 --> 01:05:22,600
Speaker 1: have those four receivers healthy, especially knowing that Cole Beasley

1219
01:05:22,680 --> 01:05:25,560
Speaker 1: is laboring out there, maybe you cut back a little

1220
01:05:25,560 --> 01:05:28,200
Speaker 1: bit on Beasley's time to save his legs for the

1221
01:05:28,280 --> 01:05:30,760
Speaker 1: downs where you really need him third down, you know,

1222
01:05:31,000 --> 01:05:33,120
Speaker 1: red zone, and they did that and yeah, and then

1223
01:05:33,240 --> 01:05:36,640
Speaker 1: maybe incorporate McKenzie when you have Beasley off the field.

1224
01:05:36,680 --> 01:05:40,280
Speaker 1: That might be a solution for the offensive staff this week.

1225
01:05:40,600 --> 01:05:43,320
Speaker 1: Let's go to Conrad and Olean Conrad, what do you

1226
01:05:43,440 --> 01:05:45,840
Speaker 1: have for us? You're on one Bill's Live. Thanks for

1227
01:05:45,920 --> 01:05:48,360
Speaker 1: having me, Steve. I'm a big fan. I've been a

1228
01:05:48,400 --> 01:05:51,320
Speaker 1: fan of the Bill since I was sixteen. So but

1229
01:05:51,680 --> 01:05:53,800
Speaker 1: first thing is the defense. They got to play as

1230
01:05:53,880 --> 01:05:56,480
Speaker 1: good or at least better than they did against the Ravens.

1231
01:05:56,800 --> 01:05:59,280
Speaker 1: And somehow they got to put spy or got to

1232
01:05:59,360 --> 01:06:03,560
Speaker 1: know exactly where Mahomes is at all times, because otherwise

1233
01:06:03,600 --> 01:06:05,240
Speaker 1: we're going to be in trouble. We can't give him

1234
01:06:05,240 --> 01:06:08,520
Speaker 1: the ten or fourteen yards around the corner, around the ends.

1235
01:06:09,440 --> 01:06:12,320
Speaker 1: And then also on offense, I think we have to

1236
01:06:12,520 --> 01:06:15,400
Speaker 1: get the run going. That's going to change it. Open

1237
01:06:15,520 --> 01:06:18,000
Speaker 1: up Josh and the receivers because the receivers aren't been

1238
01:06:18,040 --> 01:06:20,880
Speaker 1: pretty tight last week. They couldn't get loose better get

1239
01:06:20,920 --> 01:06:23,280
Speaker 1: the running game, and I don't think Yeldon as a

1240
01:06:23,360 --> 01:06:26,880
Speaker 1: backup is the answer. He hasn't been every time they

1241
01:06:26,960 --> 01:06:31,280
Speaker 1: put him in. I think, if you remember they put

1242
01:06:31,360 --> 01:06:34,840
Speaker 1: Williams in back in the Dolphins game, why can't we

1243
01:06:34,960 --> 01:06:37,840
Speaker 1: try him again? He looked pretty tough, he looked pretty rugged.

1244
01:06:38,360 --> 01:06:41,400
Speaker 1: What do you think on that? Yeah, thanks for the call, Conrad,

1245
01:06:41,440 --> 01:06:44,240
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Yeah. I mean we went over this a

1246
01:06:44,320 --> 01:06:46,760
Speaker 1: little bit last week leading up to the game. Antonio

1247
01:06:46,800 --> 01:06:48,920
Speaker 1: Williams was called up from the practice squad, but they

1248
01:06:49,000 --> 01:06:51,800
Speaker 1: ultimately decided to go with t. J. Yelden, and I

1249
01:06:51,920 --> 01:06:55,080
Speaker 1: think the decision to do that is largely based on

1250
01:06:55,240 --> 01:07:00,560
Speaker 1: two things. One, Antonio williams lack of experience is undrafted

1251
01:07:00,640 --> 01:07:04,520
Speaker 1: rookie who played in the second half of a throwaway

1252
01:07:04,640 --> 01:07:07,600
Speaker 1: game when the Dolphins were running for the bus. So

1253
01:07:08,000 --> 01:07:10,920
Speaker 1: while I think he did pop on film in the

1254
01:07:10,960 --> 01:07:13,000
Speaker 1: way he ran the football, because the kid ran hard,

1255
01:07:13,040 --> 01:07:15,480
Speaker 1: I'm not taking that away from him, but you wonder

1256
01:07:15,520 --> 01:07:19,160
Speaker 1: about the level of competition and willingness to lay it

1257
01:07:19,240 --> 01:07:21,200
Speaker 1: on the line by the Dolphins. At that point in time.

1258
01:07:21,280 --> 01:07:24,680
Speaker 1: This game was already game, set, match, it was done.

1259
01:07:25,080 --> 01:07:27,600
Speaker 1: The Dolphins were already warming up the bus. So I'm

1260
01:07:27,640 --> 01:07:29,880
Speaker 1: not saying they made life easier for Williams, but I

1261
01:07:29,880 --> 01:07:33,560
Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised if they did. Right with the way

1262
01:07:33,600 --> 01:07:35,800
Speaker 1: the Bills were racking up points, you know, like it

1263
01:07:35,920 --> 01:07:38,720
Speaker 1: was going out of style. That's number one. Number two

1264
01:07:39,680 --> 01:07:43,520
Speaker 1: t J. Eldon has paid his dues here. He's a

1265
01:07:43,680 --> 01:07:45,800
Speaker 1: really good receiver out of the backfield. I think he's

1266
01:07:45,800 --> 01:07:48,280
Speaker 1: still underrated in that area. He had a season in Jackson.

1267
01:07:48,400 --> 01:07:51,240
Speaker 1: He caught fifty five passes as the backup to Leonard

1268
01:07:51,280 --> 01:07:54,640
Speaker 1: Fournette and was largely their third down back. Like we

1269
01:07:54,720 --> 01:07:58,520
Speaker 1: saw last week, it was pretty much eighty percent Singletary

1270
01:07:59,360 --> 01:08:02,520
Speaker 1: and twenty twenty percent Yelden and Yeldon only came in

1271
01:08:02,560 --> 01:08:04,880
Speaker 1: the game at the end because Singletary was getting a

1272
01:08:04,880 --> 01:08:09,240
Speaker 1: hamstring cramp. So I think, no matter who you want

1273
01:08:09,320 --> 01:08:13,640
Speaker 1: in there, the strong likelihood is going to be that

1274
01:08:13,800 --> 01:08:18,160
Speaker 1: the number two guy barely plays anyway. Um I anticipated

1275
01:08:18,200 --> 01:08:21,800
Speaker 1: will again be a lot of Singletary. Yeldon had two

1276
01:08:21,840 --> 01:08:23,880
Speaker 1: carries for four yards, and that was at the end

1277
01:08:23,960 --> 01:08:26,840
Speaker 1: of the game when Singletary left with with hamstring cramp.

1278
01:08:27,000 --> 01:08:30,240
Speaker 1: Don't and I don't. I don't have any way to

1279
01:08:30,320 --> 01:08:32,120
Speaker 1: say this that whether it's right, except for what I

1280
01:08:32,200 --> 01:08:33,760
Speaker 1: see and how I know it kind of works in

1281
01:08:34,280 --> 01:08:35,760
Speaker 1: the way I think it works in this building. You

1282
01:08:35,840 --> 01:08:38,560
Speaker 1: get what you earn on the roster. Yeldon earned his

1283
01:08:38,640 --> 01:08:42,240
Speaker 1: spot he did. He didn't play in week seventeen because

1284
01:08:42,320 --> 01:08:47,400
Speaker 1: he had COVID, not not necessarily because Antonio Williams outperformed him. Um,

1285
01:08:47,720 --> 01:08:51,760
Speaker 1: And don't discount t J. Yelden because you haven't seen

1286
01:08:51,880 --> 01:08:55,240
Speaker 1: him play, and you have seen Antonio Williams play recently

1287
01:08:55,280 --> 01:09:00,439
Speaker 1: and play very well. So don't don't discount what TJ.

1288
01:09:00,560 --> 01:09:03,120
Speaker 1: Yelden was not allowed to show you for what you

1289
01:09:03,200 --> 01:09:05,040
Speaker 1: were allowed to see of another player, because t J.

1290
01:09:05,120 --> 01:09:07,400
Speaker 1: Elden might have played even better than Antonio Williams in

1291
01:09:07,439 --> 01:09:09,320
Speaker 1: the same spot in week seven. And I will submit this,

1292
01:09:09,479 --> 01:09:11,080
Speaker 1: and I think Steve will agree with me when I

1293
01:09:11,160 --> 01:09:15,720
Speaker 1: say this. There is one thing that coaches love in

1294
01:09:15,880 --> 01:09:21,920
Speaker 1: players even more than their talent. Trust. They value being

1295
01:09:22,000 --> 01:09:25,479
Speaker 1: able to trust a player even over the talent a

1296
01:09:25,600 --> 01:09:29,080
Speaker 1: player brings to the field at times. So if the

1297
01:09:29,240 --> 01:09:34,320
Speaker 1: difference in talent is marginal between TJ. Elden and Antonio Williams,

1298
01:09:34,680 --> 01:09:37,320
Speaker 1: but the trust factor in TJ. Eldon from having seen

1299
01:09:37,439 --> 01:09:40,320
Speaker 1: him on the field more, and knowing he's been here more,

1300
01:09:40,720 --> 01:09:45,719
Speaker 1: knowing he has the system down, protection assignments, blitz, pick up, etc.

1301
01:09:46,520 --> 01:09:49,160
Speaker 1: They're gonna play t J. Elden or dress him anyway

1302
01:09:49,400 --> 01:09:51,560
Speaker 1: for the game. That's just probably how it's gonna go.

1303
01:09:52,600 --> 01:09:54,560
Speaker 1: One more call here before the break, we go to

1304
01:09:54,720 --> 01:09:57,200
Speaker 1: Jim in op Jim, what do you have for us?

1305
01:09:57,240 --> 01:10:02,360
Speaker 1: You're one one Bills live in good afternoon. I got

1306
01:10:02,479 --> 01:10:06,439
Speaker 1: two things. Number One, do we try to tone Josh

1307
01:10:06,560 --> 01:10:08,960
Speaker 1: down as far as the running, as far as him

1308
01:10:09,040 --> 01:10:12,840
Speaker 1: running just due to not want to get him injured

1309
01:10:13,680 --> 01:10:16,680
Speaker 1: and trying to play Barkley in a very important game.

1310
01:10:17,960 --> 01:10:22,240
Speaker 1: Number Two, I watched that Browns game probably from start

1311
01:10:22,280 --> 01:10:25,880
Speaker 1: to finish, and I believe that the Bills have a

1312
01:10:25,920 --> 01:10:28,880
Speaker 1: lot better offense than the Browns, and the Browns stuck

1313
01:10:28,960 --> 01:10:31,360
Speaker 1: with the Casey, you know, until that last drive. So

1314
01:10:32,320 --> 01:10:34,080
Speaker 1: I'll hang up to listen to hear what you guys

1315
01:10:34,120 --> 01:10:36,760
Speaker 1: have to say. Yeah, I mean, I would agree that

1316
01:10:37,000 --> 01:10:39,040
Speaker 1: the Bills passing game is superior to that of the

1317
01:10:39,120 --> 01:10:41,559
Speaker 1: Browns due in part to the fact that people kind

1318
01:10:41,600 --> 01:10:44,120
Speaker 1: of forget this. They lost Odell Beckham Junior do a

1319
01:10:44,200 --> 01:10:46,320
Speaker 1: season ending injury, so they have they've been without their

1320
01:10:46,400 --> 01:10:48,160
Speaker 1: number one receiver for the better part of the second

1321
01:10:48,160 --> 01:10:51,719
Speaker 1: half of the season. I mean that's like the Bills

1322
01:10:51,760 --> 01:10:54,400
Speaker 1: going out there without Digs, so that that should not

1323
01:10:54,520 --> 01:10:57,280
Speaker 1: be discounted. I do think that Cleveland Browns have a

1324
01:10:57,320 --> 01:11:01,919
Speaker 1: better rushing attack than than the Bills, and their offensive

1325
01:11:01,960 --> 01:11:04,799
Speaker 1: line is probably better at run blocking than Buffalo's. Ball Buffalo,

1326
01:11:04,840 --> 01:11:07,320
Speaker 1: i would argue, is better in pass protection as an

1327
01:11:07,320 --> 01:11:11,599
Speaker 1: offensive line. UM. So there there's some given take there.

1328
01:11:12,320 --> 01:11:15,280
Speaker 1: I do think the Bills offense has been certainly more

1329
01:11:15,360 --> 01:11:18,840
Speaker 1: consistent this season than the Cleveland offense, so logic would

1330
01:11:18,840 --> 01:11:21,639
Speaker 1: say they should fare better than the Browns did. Um

1331
01:11:21,920 --> 01:11:25,960
Speaker 1: this Sunday, But every week is it's different in this league.

1332
01:11:25,960 --> 01:11:27,680
Speaker 1: You know what you're getting. We used to be an

1333
01:11:27,680 --> 01:11:29,519
Speaker 1: old addage. It doesn't matter if you couldn't stop the

1334
01:11:29,600 --> 01:11:31,760
Speaker 1: run last week, because it's in the professional game. They

1335
01:11:31,840 --> 01:11:33,519
Speaker 1: fix a couple of things and now they're the best

1336
01:11:33,640 --> 01:11:36,160
Speaker 1: run defense in the league this week. That's just the

1337
01:11:36,200 --> 01:11:38,200
Speaker 1: way it goes. As we saw the Bills do that

1338
01:11:38,479 --> 01:11:40,840
Speaker 1: from from the Colts game to the Ravens game. Right

1339
01:11:41,320 --> 01:11:45,200
Speaker 1: in contrast, you said, should they tone Josh down running

1340
01:11:45,240 --> 01:11:48,759
Speaker 1: the football? They don't call very many Josh Allen runs anymore.

1341
01:11:49,400 --> 01:11:51,360
Speaker 1: They call a quarterback draw once in a while now.

1342
01:11:51,520 --> 01:11:53,760
Speaker 1: And then he saw in the Colt game they ran

1343
01:11:53,880 --> 01:11:56,000
Speaker 1: him maybe a handful of times. That was as much

1344
01:11:56,040 --> 01:11:59,920
Speaker 1: as he's running too long time. Yeah, but I don't.

1345
01:12:00,240 --> 01:12:02,240
Speaker 1: I think what the Bills will do with Josh is

1346
01:12:02,360 --> 01:12:04,000
Speaker 1: use them in the best way they can to make

1347
01:12:04,080 --> 01:12:06,640
Speaker 1: as much yardage and score as many points as they can.

1348
01:12:06,720 --> 01:12:09,280
Speaker 1: If that means Josh runs at twenty times, you can

1349
01:12:09,360 --> 01:12:13,360
Speaker 1: bet Josh's gonna wear his mouthpiece. Um, I think he's

1350
01:12:13,400 --> 01:12:15,719
Speaker 1: gonna They'll do it. I don't think they the risk

1351
01:12:16,400 --> 01:12:19,680
Speaker 1: that you're talking about. I get it, but that's what

1352
01:12:19,800 --> 01:12:22,240
Speaker 1: these guys are paid for. You gotta go play and

1353
01:12:22,320 --> 01:12:24,360
Speaker 1: if the game plan and the game and the matchup

1354
01:12:24,400 --> 01:12:26,600
Speaker 1: says you got to run the ball, you hand it

1355
01:12:26,640 --> 01:12:28,880
Speaker 1: to the guy and you block for him. That's all

1356
01:12:28,880 --> 01:12:31,479
Speaker 1: there is to it. Um, you don't. You don't play scared,

1357
01:12:32,280 --> 01:12:35,960
Speaker 1: because what happens if you keep Josh healthy and you

1358
01:12:36,040 --> 01:12:39,439
Speaker 1: lose the game. You know, the old adage for in

1359
01:12:39,520 --> 01:12:41,639
Speaker 1: the locker room is there's plenty of time to heal

1360
01:12:41,760 --> 01:12:45,000
Speaker 1: up after February. You know. Uh No, I don't think

1361
01:12:45,040 --> 01:12:48,240
Speaker 1: you and that doesn't mean you do it automatically. But

1362
01:12:48,320 --> 01:12:50,880
Speaker 1: you don't shy away from anything in this game. Usually

1363
01:12:50,880 --> 01:12:52,880
Speaker 1: if you think it's gonna help you, you go. You

1364
01:12:53,520 --> 01:12:55,640
Speaker 1: you throw, and like one of our callers that you

1365
01:12:55,760 --> 01:12:58,760
Speaker 1: go all out. You throw everything at him, everything you

1366
01:12:58,880 --> 01:13:01,479
Speaker 1: can to win this game, all of it or no

1367
01:13:01,640 --> 01:13:06,120
Speaker 1: holds barred. Nothing's off the table. Offensive lineman catching touchdowns,

1368
01:13:06,200 --> 01:13:08,760
Speaker 1: offensive lineman lining up the backfield and running the ball,

1369
01:13:10,120 --> 01:13:15,000
Speaker 1: you know, throwback passes, you know, flee flickers, triple reverse,

1370
01:13:15,720 --> 01:13:19,000
Speaker 1: all of that stuff, or handing it off straight handoffs

1371
01:13:19,120 --> 01:13:22,240
Speaker 1: fifty times and throwing it ten times. All that stuff

1372
01:13:22,320 --> 01:13:25,680
Speaker 1: is on the table. And there is absolutely nothing that

1373
01:13:25,840 --> 01:13:28,080
Speaker 1: you will not do and put in the game plan

1374
01:13:28,240 --> 01:13:31,080
Speaker 1: or have ready to win this game. So you don't.

1375
01:13:31,240 --> 01:13:36,120
Speaker 1: You don't worry about you know, you know, Josh getting hurt.

1376
01:13:36,160 --> 01:13:40,400
Speaker 1: You don't worry about little Johnny, you know, pulling a muscle. Yeah,

1377
01:13:40,880 --> 01:13:42,720
Speaker 1: I think you gotta you turn them loose and you

1378
01:13:42,800 --> 01:13:44,680
Speaker 1: tell him to play and they will. I think what

1379
01:13:44,880 --> 01:13:49,160
Speaker 1: has been consistent with Josh Allen's rushing exploits is the

1380
01:13:49,360 --> 01:13:53,559
Speaker 1: times he's been asked to run week after week after week.

1381
01:13:53,800 --> 01:13:56,479
Speaker 1: When it does happen it's consistently in the red zone

1382
01:13:56,800 --> 01:14:00,160
Speaker 1: because that is another threat that defenses have to do with,

1383
01:14:00,320 --> 01:14:02,479
Speaker 1: and it's harder to cover everything in the red zone

1384
01:14:02,680 --> 01:14:06,080
Speaker 1: when you have a quarterback who can execute design runs

1385
01:14:06,120 --> 01:14:08,599
Speaker 1: like Josh Allen, So if he's gonna run anywhere, it's

1386
01:14:09,120 --> 01:14:11,040
Speaker 1: most likely going to be in the red zone. If

1387
01:14:11,120 --> 01:14:13,080
Speaker 1: he's not doing it all that much between the twenties,

1388
01:14:13,120 --> 01:14:15,960
Speaker 1: you can anticipate that will still happen because that's been

1389
01:14:16,000 --> 01:14:18,599
Speaker 1: the case most weeks and it's made them an effective

1390
01:14:19,160 --> 01:14:22,200
Speaker 1: red zone offense. So I would say it's safe to

1391
01:14:22,400 --> 01:14:25,400
Speaker 1: anticipate that break time for us. But when we come back,

1392
01:14:25,479 --> 01:14:27,360
Speaker 1: more of your phone calls, more of your comments on

1393
01:14:27,520 --> 01:14:30,080
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet. We remind you that coming up in

1394
01:14:30,200 --> 01:14:33,240
Speaker 1: just over a half an hour, we will have post

1395
01:14:33,280 --> 01:14:37,000
Speaker 1: practice comments from the players as they hold their press

1396
01:14:37,040 --> 01:14:40,719
Speaker 1: conferences on Zoom. We'll be airing that here on MSG

1397
01:14:40,920 --> 01:14:43,439
Speaker 1: as well as w GR, and we'll be streaming in

1398
01:14:43,520 --> 01:14:46,080
Speaker 1: on our platforms as well. Stay tuned for that. It's

1399
01:14:46,120 --> 01:14:48,200
Speaker 1: all coming up next here on One Bill's Live, presented

1400
01:14:48,200 --> 01:15:03,720
Speaker 1: by Kalad of Health. It's Buffalo Bills Radio. Second half

1401
01:15:03,760 --> 01:15:05,960
Speaker 1: of the show under way, and we're also about a

1402
01:15:06,000 --> 01:15:10,040
Speaker 1: half hour away from post practice comments from the players

1403
01:15:10,160 --> 01:15:12,439
Speaker 1: Josh Allens to Fawn Diggs, Jordan Poyer and the like.

1404
01:15:12,760 --> 01:15:15,400
Speaker 1: Going to stream that stuff live. Yeah, we'll always be

1405
01:15:15,520 --> 01:15:17,479
Speaker 1: here on MSG. I'll be on gr But if you

1406
01:15:17,520 --> 01:15:20,160
Speaker 1: can't get to a radio or a TV, you can

1407
01:15:20,439 --> 01:15:22,439
Speaker 1: check out our streaming platforms. We'll have it there for

1408
01:15:22,600 --> 01:15:29,080
Speaker 1: you as well. Our technological prowess live live. It confuses

1409
01:15:29,120 --> 01:15:36,760
Speaker 1: and scares me. Technology. We're getting your comments on the

1410
01:15:36,800 --> 01:15:39,599
Speaker 1: tweet sheet today, where we have been asking you which

1411
01:15:39,640 --> 01:15:41,519
Speaker 1: aspect of the Bill's game plan could have the biggest

1412
01:15:41,520 --> 01:15:44,439
Speaker 1: impact against the Chiefs. We have the choices for you there.

1413
01:15:45,000 --> 01:15:47,479
Speaker 1: Tiffany on the tweet sheet says, the pass game has

1414
01:15:47,520 --> 01:15:49,479
Speaker 1: been our bread and butter all season. I can't imagine

1415
01:15:49,520 --> 01:15:52,559
Speaker 1: anything changing for the championship game. I would line up

1416
01:15:52,600 --> 01:15:54,360
Speaker 1: three and four wide all day with my foot on

1417
01:15:54,400 --> 01:15:56,680
Speaker 1: the gas pedal. Twenty eight plus points is the key

1418
01:15:56,720 --> 01:15:58,640
Speaker 1: to victory. In each red zone visit has to end

1419
01:15:59,040 --> 01:16:02,720
Speaker 1: with a touchdown. Hard to disagree with any of that.

1420
01:16:03,200 --> 01:16:04,559
Speaker 1: That's how you have to go into it. I mean,

1421
01:16:04,640 --> 01:16:05,960
Speaker 1: you might get a break, he might be able to,

1422
01:16:06,160 --> 01:16:07,560
Speaker 1: you know, come away with a couple of with a

1423
01:16:07,640 --> 01:16:10,280
Speaker 1: field goal or two if the Chiefs do that as well,

1424
01:16:10,400 --> 01:16:11,960
Speaker 1: or if you can get the Chiefs off the field

1425
01:16:12,040 --> 01:16:13,639
Speaker 1: or on a three and out or off the field

1426
01:16:13,680 --> 01:16:16,400
Speaker 1: on a third down and they're into the field. So yeah,

1427
01:16:16,920 --> 01:16:18,519
Speaker 1: you gotta go in thinking you're gonna have to be

1428
01:16:18,600 --> 01:16:22,320
Speaker 1: really efficient in the red zone. You cannot squander. I mean,

1429
01:16:22,400 --> 01:16:25,439
Speaker 1: you can't do like what happened to the Ravens. You

1430
01:16:25,479 --> 01:16:27,760
Speaker 1: get down there and you go fourth down, either throw

1431
01:16:27,800 --> 01:16:30,639
Speaker 1: a pick six or come off the field and miss

1432
01:16:31,560 --> 01:16:35,519
Speaker 1: two field goals. Yea, Now the Bills did that as well.

1433
01:16:35,560 --> 01:16:38,559
Speaker 1: I mean Bass missed a couple as well. One right

1434
01:16:38,600 --> 01:16:40,960
Speaker 1: and one got blown. It was interesting. The first one

1435
01:16:41,040 --> 01:16:44,280
Speaker 1: got blown and it got blown sideways off to the right.

1436
01:16:44,760 --> 01:16:47,000
Speaker 1: Then the next one came in and went he banged

1437
01:16:47,040 --> 01:16:50,120
Speaker 1: it at the left upright and it went left and

1438
01:16:50,280 --> 01:16:53,759
Speaker 1: it it eased out of the left side. Here, welcome

1439
01:16:53,800 --> 01:16:57,800
Speaker 1: to Buffalo. Be looking at it going. That's why I

1440
01:16:57,920 --> 01:17:01,160
Speaker 1: still love to this day. Mike Hollis's approach. Mike Hollis,

1441
01:17:01,160 --> 01:17:03,040
Speaker 1: who only kicked here for one year in two thousand

1442
01:17:03,040 --> 01:17:05,759
Speaker 1: and two. Five foot set. I mean he's my size,

1443
01:17:05,920 --> 01:17:08,040
Speaker 1: like he is not a big guy, but he had

1444
01:17:08,040 --> 01:17:11,200
Speaker 1: a good leg and he said, I'm asking about all

1445
01:17:11,200 --> 01:17:12,600
Speaker 1: the wind conditions. You know, you're here in Buffalo. We

1446
01:17:12,600 --> 01:17:13,880
Speaker 1: can get tricky here of this, that and the other.

1447
01:17:13,920 --> 01:17:15,920
Speaker 1: What's your approach? What are your planning to do? He goes, Dude,

1448
01:17:16,680 --> 01:17:18,040
Speaker 1: I just run up to the thing and kick it

1449
01:17:18,040 --> 01:17:20,640
Speaker 1: as hard as I Damn well, Ken, whatever happens after that,

1450
01:17:20,800 --> 01:17:24,280
Speaker 1: what happens? And I think he just he subscribed to

1451
01:17:24,360 --> 01:17:27,520
Speaker 1: just dumbing the whole thing down. He didn't. He didn't. Can't.

1452
01:17:27,640 --> 01:17:31,760
Speaker 1: You can't out think something you can't see. And I've

1453
01:17:31,800 --> 01:17:34,200
Speaker 1: always said, you know what they should do some days,

1454
01:17:34,439 --> 01:17:38,800
Speaker 1: like the coaching staff or the stadium operations staff coming

1455
01:17:38,880 --> 01:17:41,040
Speaker 1: here on a day when it's windy, when the wind's

1456
01:17:41,080 --> 01:17:44,519
Speaker 1: coming out of a what a direction, B direction, C direction,

1457
01:17:44,680 --> 01:17:48,320
Speaker 1: D direction lights some smoke lights, some smoke bombs up

1458
01:17:48,320 --> 01:17:49,760
Speaker 1: in the corners of the stadium, and watch what that

1459
01:17:49,800 --> 01:17:53,439
Speaker 1: stuff does and get an idea. Bring your kickers in here,

1460
01:17:53,560 --> 01:17:55,120
Speaker 1: let them look at let them watch how that smoke

1461
01:17:55,240 --> 01:17:57,840
Speaker 1: moves around bombs I like it, and get an idea

1462
01:17:57,880 --> 01:18:00,200
Speaker 1: of where it was. We sat there one day, and

1463
01:18:00,320 --> 01:18:02,519
Speaker 1: this time of year in the playoffs, Art still was

1464
01:18:02,560 --> 01:18:05,200
Speaker 1: standing there. We were, and it was when Marv would

1465
01:18:05,240 --> 01:18:07,160
Speaker 1: put it was so cold. We had no place else

1466
01:18:07,160 --> 01:18:12,400
Speaker 1: to practice. The bubble was was not good enough. So

1467
01:18:12,520 --> 01:18:15,120
Speaker 1: we practiced in the stadium almost all the time. And

1468
01:18:15,960 --> 01:18:18,120
Speaker 1: they put the heated benches out there because it was

1469
01:18:18,160 --> 01:18:20,360
Speaker 1: so cold, and the offense would work out there and

1470
01:18:20,360 --> 01:18:22,120
Speaker 1: then they'd come up, the offense would come off, the

1471
01:18:22,160 --> 01:18:24,120
Speaker 1: defense would go out, you know, so they'd stay warm.

1472
01:18:25,000 --> 01:18:27,280
Speaker 1: And we're standing there and Art still, I'm standing there

1473
01:18:27,320 --> 01:18:30,720
Speaker 1: with Art, you know, sixty seven. Yeah, big dude, big

1474
01:18:31,040 --> 01:18:34,000
Speaker 1: one of the old time tremendous guys. He's got a

1475
01:18:34,040 --> 01:18:35,920
Speaker 1: piece of pre rap And for those of you don't know,

1476
01:18:36,000 --> 01:18:39,360
Speaker 1: pre wrap is a little sponge strip that you wrap

1477
01:18:39,439 --> 01:18:41,800
Speaker 1: around your foot before you tape it so you don't

1478
01:18:41,880 --> 01:18:43,840
Speaker 1: rip all your legs, hair, don't rip your skin off

1479
01:18:43,880 --> 01:18:46,040
Speaker 1: when with the tape right. It's just it's just it's

1480
01:18:46,200 --> 01:18:48,280
Speaker 1: literally foam rubber that's stretchy and all that and you

1481
01:18:48,320 --> 01:18:50,599
Speaker 1: can kind of see through is very thin, but it's foam.

1482
01:18:51,160 --> 01:18:54,800
Speaker 1: And he's got a piece about you know, foot foot

1483
01:18:54,840 --> 01:18:57,880
Speaker 1: to sixteen inches long and he holds it and he's

1484
01:18:57,960 --> 01:18:59,280
Speaker 1: you know, he's six to seven, so he holds it

1485
01:18:59,320 --> 01:19:01,080
Speaker 1: way up ahead and standing right in front of the

1486
01:19:01,120 --> 01:19:04,799
Speaker 1: home bench. He holds it and it's blowing like straight

1487
01:19:05,000 --> 01:19:10,799
Speaker 1: straight up. He lets it go. This piece of fabric

1488
01:19:11,760 --> 01:19:15,800
Speaker 1: goes up up towards the press box, up and goes

1489
01:19:16,280 --> 01:19:19,840
Speaker 1: right towards the scoreboard end of the stadium, the scoreboard end. Yeah,

1490
01:19:20,439 --> 01:19:22,400
Speaker 1: it goes out, and we're we can see it. I

1491
01:19:22,439 --> 01:19:24,720
Speaker 1: mean we're standing there. Watch it goes up around the

1492
01:19:24,760 --> 01:19:28,519
Speaker 1: scoreboard end, goes around the entire length of the stadium

1493
01:19:28,560 --> 01:19:31,679
Speaker 1: on the far side, past the administration, across the end zone,

1494
01:19:31,720 --> 01:19:37,400
Speaker 1: and comes back up over our heads, goes back down

1495
01:19:37,439 --> 01:19:40,439
Speaker 1: to the scoreboard end, goes back over to the far side,

1496
01:19:40,479 --> 01:19:42,639
Speaker 1: and goes out over the top of the far side,

1497
01:19:42,680 --> 01:19:45,559
Speaker 1: after making an entire loop and a half around the stadium.

1498
01:19:46,280 --> 01:19:49,760
Speaker 1: So wait, so the best part is, by the time

1499
01:19:49,840 --> 01:19:54,080
Speaker 1: this thing goes out, we are mesmerized. I mean we're

1500
01:19:54,120 --> 01:19:58,320
Speaker 1: like hypnotized by this little piece of garbage that's flying

1501
01:19:58,360 --> 01:20:01,519
Speaker 1: around the stadium. And of of course you can imagine

1502
01:20:01,920 --> 01:20:06,840
Speaker 1: the thing goes out and we're sitting there dumbfounded, and

1503
01:20:06,920 --> 01:20:11,720
Speaker 1: it's like the whistable, what are you jackass of doing

1504
01:20:11,800 --> 01:20:15,400
Speaker 1: over there? We're all standing there like cows mouths a gap,

1505
01:20:16,000 --> 01:20:19,400
Speaker 1: like right, like we've seen a light in the sky

1506
01:20:19,520 --> 01:20:23,480
Speaker 1: and we're standing there right and like why are you jackass?

1507
01:20:23,520 --> 01:20:26,760
Speaker 1: And let's go like it's like you know, you're like

1508
01:20:27,360 --> 01:20:30,479
Speaker 1: miss my rep like grab your helmet and run out.

1509
01:20:30,720 --> 01:20:33,320
Speaker 1: It was. It was unbelievable. But I always thought that

1510
01:20:33,400 --> 01:20:35,920
Speaker 1: was an idea field test. Put some smoke out there,

1511
01:20:36,080 --> 01:20:38,320
Speaker 1: let them see the wind patterns and look at them

1512
01:20:38,439 --> 01:20:42,200
Speaker 1: on a day when it's right and and say, Okay,

1513
01:20:42,240 --> 01:20:45,040
Speaker 1: here's what's happening today. Here's the wind conditions. That's one

1514
01:20:45,120 --> 01:20:47,000
Speaker 1: game day you come out, it's supposed to be these conditions.

1515
01:20:47,080 --> 01:20:49,400
Speaker 1: Do we have a day like that, Yeah, here's what happened.

1516
01:20:51,320 --> 01:20:53,160
Speaker 1: Tell me that's not It does swirl down there. I

1517
01:20:53,200 --> 01:20:56,960
Speaker 1: don't think there's any question about the swirl. Whirlpool. You

1518
01:20:57,080 --> 01:20:59,559
Speaker 1: put your head in the toilet and flush it, that's swirl. Yeah.

1519
01:20:59,640 --> 01:21:04,240
Speaker 1: This is more of you know, typhoon kind of sad. Yes,

1520
01:21:04,400 --> 01:21:06,880
Speaker 1: this is more like you know, a monsoon season down there,

1521
01:21:06,920 --> 01:21:09,680
Speaker 1: because it's and I remember this too. Marks first came

1522
01:21:09,720 --> 01:21:14,560
Speaker 1: a head coach November. The game was iced because of

1523
01:21:14,640 --> 01:21:18,720
Speaker 1: that exact wind. The Steelers got a guy open down

1524
01:21:18,800 --> 01:21:22,200
Speaker 1: the down the scoreboard end on the visitor's side, headed

1525
01:21:22,240 --> 01:21:24,439
Speaker 1: into the corner and I don't know who it was

1526
01:21:24,560 --> 01:21:30,559
Speaker 1: it was. Who the quarterback was Bubby Bubby Maybe I don't.

1527
01:21:30,600 --> 01:21:32,880
Speaker 1: I don't know if Bubby is quite there anyway, whatever,

1528
01:21:33,280 --> 01:21:37,639
Speaker 1: the quarterback zips it out there, guys behind us, ball

1529
01:21:37,720 --> 01:21:40,960
Speaker 1: goes out and does just like what borkeez is Punk

1530
01:21:41,080 --> 01:21:44,680
Speaker 1: did last week. It just like just like loses steams

1531
01:21:45,000 --> 01:21:49,200
Speaker 1: and it starts to flutter drops in intercepted game over,

1532
01:21:49,320 --> 01:21:53,479
Speaker 1: Mark Malone, Mark Malone, Mark Malone. He throws it out

1533
01:21:53,520 --> 01:21:56,720
Speaker 1: there and that ball just gets knocked cold deads and

1534
01:21:56,800 --> 01:21:59,280
Speaker 1: it flutters right down and it drops like I think

1535
01:21:59,280 --> 01:22:02,439
Speaker 1: it's Donnie Henderson. Is that Is that a name from

1536
01:22:02,439 --> 01:22:05,040
Speaker 1: the past. I don't know, but he catches it. We

1537
01:22:05,160 --> 01:22:07,519
Speaker 1: win game over, and it was all because of that wind.

1538
01:22:08,840 --> 01:22:11,960
Speaker 1: Let's go to the phones. We go to Jim in Cannondegua. Jim,

1539
01:22:12,000 --> 01:22:15,000
Speaker 1: what do you have for us? You're on one Bill's Live. Yes,

1540
01:22:15,160 --> 01:22:18,639
Speaker 1: all right, gentlemen. I had a question Brian du Ball there.

1541
01:22:19,520 --> 01:22:22,240
Speaker 1: Did he lose a head coaching gab you'd think because

1542
01:22:22,320 --> 01:22:26,800
Speaker 1: of the poort play of the offense the last two games. No, No,

1543
01:22:26,960 --> 01:22:30,479
Speaker 1: do we become one dimensional? Like how he would Brown

1544
01:22:30,560 --> 01:22:35,360
Speaker 1: complained about the Ravens. We are one dimensional team. So yeah,

1545
01:22:35,400 --> 01:22:38,280
Speaker 1: the difference is where they both teams score a lot

1546
01:22:38,320 --> 01:22:40,840
Speaker 1: of points doing what they do most of the time.

1547
01:22:41,080 --> 01:22:44,679
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think a seventeen point showing granted

1548
01:22:44,720 --> 01:22:48,000
Speaker 1: one offensive touchdown against you know, one of the top

1549
01:22:48,120 --> 01:22:51,719
Speaker 1: two defenses in football, is going to change people's opinion

1550
01:22:51,800 --> 01:22:54,800
Speaker 1: of Brian Dable as an offensive play caller. I think

1551
01:22:54,880 --> 01:22:58,840
Speaker 1: he was more hamstrung by his team winning and advancing

1552
01:23:00,400 --> 01:23:02,759
Speaker 1: because you can't hire a head coach until their season

1553
01:23:02,920 --> 01:23:05,720
Speaker 1: is over with their current club. I mean, you can

1554
01:23:05,800 --> 01:23:08,320
Speaker 1: back channel it and say hey, we're waiting for you.

1555
01:23:08,479 --> 01:23:10,880
Speaker 1: You're our guy. You know. I'm sure there's a way

1556
01:23:10,880 --> 01:23:14,960
Speaker 1: to communicate that if you want to wait. But as

1557
01:23:15,040 --> 01:23:18,400
Speaker 1: we heard from Diana Rossini, who we had on the

1558
01:23:18,400 --> 01:23:22,960
Speaker 1: show yesterday, in the conversation she has with front office

1559
01:23:23,000 --> 01:23:28,559
Speaker 1: people around the league, these people owners, front office guys,

1560
01:23:28,960 --> 01:23:32,439
Speaker 1: they cannot hold their water and wait. If they have

1561
01:23:32,520 --> 01:23:35,000
Speaker 1: a candidate that they are happy with and they can

1562
01:23:35,080 --> 01:23:37,280
Speaker 1: get them in the building sooner rather than later, they're

1563
01:23:37,320 --> 01:23:40,840
Speaker 1: taking that candidate. They don't want to feel like they're

1564
01:23:40,920 --> 01:23:44,800
Speaker 1: behind everybody else in assembling staff because there's a race

1565
01:23:44,880 --> 01:23:47,559
Speaker 1: to staff Also that's going on when you have multiple

1566
01:23:47,600 --> 01:23:51,160
Speaker 1: teams filling head coaching vacancies, and your staff is important.

1567
01:23:51,200 --> 01:23:53,200
Speaker 1: I think we can all agree on that actually important.

1568
01:23:53,280 --> 01:23:55,879
Speaker 1: So you don't want to lose out on getting quality

1569
01:23:56,000 --> 01:23:59,479
Speaker 1: guys to add to your staff because you waited so

1570
01:23:59,600 --> 01:24:02,519
Speaker 1: long on the head coach. So there's a lot of

1571
01:24:02,600 --> 01:24:05,200
Speaker 1: elements at work there, but I think that's the number

1572
01:24:05,280 --> 01:24:08,280
Speaker 1: one element. Here's the thing I agree with you, Brownie.

1573
01:24:08,320 --> 01:24:13,080
Speaker 1: I think it's crazy for ownership groups general managers or

1574
01:24:13,160 --> 01:24:16,000
Speaker 1: ownership groups hiring general manager or whatever to get antsy

1575
01:24:16,200 --> 01:24:20,360
Speaker 1: about waiting an extra two weeks to find the guy

1576
01:24:20,439 --> 01:24:25,320
Speaker 1: that they want. I think that is absolute crazy. Those

1577
01:24:25,400 --> 01:24:30,639
Speaker 1: two weeks are gonna mean nothing less than nothing if

1578
01:24:30,680 --> 01:24:33,639
Speaker 1: it's the right guy. If you're waiting on the right guy,

1579
01:24:33,840 --> 01:24:36,080
Speaker 1: find the right guy and hire him when you find him.

1580
01:24:37,080 --> 01:24:39,320
Speaker 1: Don't hire a guy because you're too aunty to wait

1581
01:24:39,400 --> 01:24:42,040
Speaker 1: on a guy that may be even better. Find the

1582
01:24:42,120 --> 01:24:44,280
Speaker 1: guy talked to everybody you have to talk to to

1583
01:24:44,360 --> 01:24:47,479
Speaker 1: find the right guy. Don't worry about the extra two

1584
01:24:47,520 --> 01:24:49,800
Speaker 1: weeks or three weeks you have to wait. And this

1585
01:24:49,960 --> 01:24:54,760
Speaker 1: stuff about staff hiring, some of that is true, but

1586
01:24:55,280 --> 01:24:57,559
Speaker 1: from most of these first time head coaches or even

1587
01:24:57,680 --> 01:25:00,160
Speaker 1: former head coaches. They got a list a mile along

1588
01:25:00,200 --> 01:25:02,120
Speaker 1: of guys that are candidates, and a lot of them.

1589
01:25:02,200 --> 01:25:03,680
Speaker 1: If you're gonna say listen, I want this is The

1590
01:25:03,760 --> 01:25:06,479
Speaker 1: coordinators are huge. If that guy's my coordinator, that guy's

1591
01:25:06,479 --> 01:25:08,519
Speaker 1: a coordinator. If they're not a coordinator right now, you

1592
01:25:08,560 --> 01:25:10,680
Speaker 1: don't have anything to worry about because you're gonna give

1593
01:25:10,680 --> 01:25:14,920
Speaker 1: them a job, they're gonna take it. So it's nuts

1594
01:25:15,960 --> 01:25:18,160
Speaker 1: to think you got to hire a guy before somebody

1595
01:25:18,200 --> 01:25:21,519
Speaker 1: else gets a guy, or because we haven't taught, we

1596
01:25:21,600 --> 01:25:24,360
Speaker 1: can't wait on this guy to get done. That's crazy talk.

1597
01:25:24,479 --> 01:25:26,799
Speaker 1: Get the right guy, and the two weeks it longer

1598
01:25:26,880 --> 01:25:29,000
Speaker 1: it takes you to get him, it means nothing when

1599
01:25:29,040 --> 01:25:30,760
Speaker 1: it's all said. That's what the forty nine ers did.

1600
01:25:30,800 --> 01:25:34,000
Speaker 1: They waited until after the Super Bowl to hire Kyle Shanahan.

1601
01:25:35,040 --> 01:25:38,439
Speaker 1: Worked out pretty well for them. So because they waited

1602
01:25:38,479 --> 01:25:40,000
Speaker 1: to get the guy they thought would be the best

1603
01:25:40,040 --> 01:25:43,479
Speaker 1: fit for them, some teams take one a instead of

1604
01:25:43,600 --> 01:25:47,559
Speaker 1: one and they suffer because of it. We'll see if

1605
01:25:47,880 --> 01:25:51,360
Speaker 1: some teams suffer from that kind of fate. Break time

1606
01:25:51,439 --> 01:25:53,720
Speaker 1: for us. But when we come back, more of your

1607
01:25:53,720 --> 01:25:55,800
Speaker 1: phone calls more of your comments on the tweet sheet,

1608
01:25:55,840 --> 01:25:58,320
Speaker 1: as we are about fifteen minutes away from getting some

1609
01:25:58,439 --> 01:26:02,519
Speaker 1: post practice comments from Josh Alan, Stefan Diggs and others.

1610
01:26:03,120 --> 01:26:06,840
Speaker 1: As we'll be having some live Q and A with

1611
01:26:07,040 --> 01:26:09,400
Speaker 1: the players in the media on our show here in

1612
01:26:09,520 --> 01:26:12,120
Speaker 1: our number three. Stay tuned for that. We're back in

1613
01:26:12,200 --> 01:26:15,120
Speaker 1: a moment here on One Bills Live presented by Kalida Health,

1614
01:26:15,160 --> 01:26:30,240
Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bills Radio. We are back one Bills Live

1615
01:26:30,560 --> 01:26:34,479
Speaker 1: decast the fifth round with you talking about which aspect

1616
01:26:34,520 --> 01:26:36,559
Speaker 1: of the Bills game plan could have the biggest impact

1617
01:26:36,600 --> 01:26:38,679
Speaker 1: on the game against the Chiefs on Sunday and why.

1618
01:26:39,520 --> 01:26:42,960
Speaker 1: And we are also taking your comments on the tweet sheet,

1619
01:26:43,080 --> 01:26:46,679
Speaker 1: and we are up to Nate, who shares the thoughts

1620
01:26:46,720 --> 01:26:51,400
Speaker 1: of an earlier caller says, the Bills have to bring everything.

1621
01:26:52,000 --> 01:26:55,320
Speaker 1: The offense only scored ten points in the last game.

1622
01:26:56,080 --> 01:26:59,639
Speaker 1: I believe if the same Buffalo defense had played last

1623
01:26:59,680 --> 01:27:02,040
Speaker 1: week aginst the Ravens, and the same offense that put

1624
01:27:02,120 --> 01:27:05,160
Speaker 1: up fifty six points against Miami shows up Sunday, they

1625
01:27:05,320 --> 01:27:08,360
Speaker 1: will dominate the Chiefs. Well. If ifs and butts were

1626
01:27:08,400 --> 01:27:10,280
Speaker 1: candy and nuts, we'd all have a merry Christmas. You

1627
01:27:10,360 --> 01:27:12,400
Speaker 1: have to remember you don't get to It doesn't work

1628
01:27:12,479 --> 01:27:13,920
Speaker 1: that way, you know. You know what, Let's pick the

1629
01:27:14,000 --> 01:27:17,920
Speaker 1: fifty nine point offensive output from week seventeen, and let's

1630
01:27:17,960 --> 01:27:20,160
Speaker 1: take the one from last week's win over the Ravens. Three.

1631
01:27:20,520 --> 01:27:23,200
Speaker 1: Stick them together. Boom, We're going to the Super Bowl.

1632
01:27:23,320 --> 01:27:27,400
Speaker 1: Chiefs have nothing to say about it, Yes, Patrick Mahomes

1633
01:27:27,479 --> 01:27:32,280
Speaker 1: has nothing to say. Andy Reid, then shut up in

1634
01:27:32,360 --> 01:27:35,080
Speaker 1: fantasy land. Exactly. Doesn't work, all right, though, Hey, I

1635
01:27:35,200 --> 01:27:36,880
Speaker 1: like where your head's at. You're right, it's in there

1636
01:27:36,920 --> 01:27:38,640
Speaker 1: on both sides of the ball. You gotta find it

1637
01:27:38,960 --> 01:27:40,679
Speaker 1: and put it together on both sides of the ball.

1638
01:27:41,080 --> 01:27:43,599
Speaker 1: From Nick t I think the key to winning will

1639
01:27:43,640 --> 01:27:45,560
Speaker 1: be Allen in the pass game. Other elements of the

1640
01:27:45,560 --> 01:27:47,639
Speaker 1: team have stepped up lately in the playoffs, but against

1641
01:27:47,680 --> 01:27:50,920
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, I think we'll need one of those multi touchdown,

1642
01:27:51,360 --> 01:27:54,000
Speaker 1: three hundred yard passing games from Alan like we saw

1643
01:27:54,560 --> 01:27:58,639
Speaker 1: in the regular season. I mean he's had some four hundies.

1644
01:28:00,280 --> 01:28:03,080
Speaker 1: You know. They won forty four thirty four over the Seahawks.

1645
01:28:03,200 --> 01:28:05,000
Speaker 1: That was a four hundred yard passing game, what was it,

1646
01:28:05,080 --> 01:28:08,080
Speaker 1: thirty five thirty two against the Rams, that was the

1647
01:28:08,160 --> 01:28:10,080
Speaker 1: other one, and then there was one against the Dolphins.

1648
01:28:11,240 --> 01:28:14,479
Speaker 1: So yeah, in Week two that was a four hundred

1649
01:28:14,520 --> 01:28:18,040
Speaker 1: yard passing and they won thirty one twenty eight after

1650
01:28:18,120 --> 01:28:23,280
Speaker 1: the Dolphins scored late. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, So yeah, I'm

1651
01:28:23,439 --> 01:28:29,080
Speaker 1: probably that that's probably right, Nick T. You're probably correct.

1652
01:28:29,120 --> 01:28:31,680
Speaker 1: They need probably a three hundred yard passing day out

1653
01:28:31,680 --> 01:28:33,600
Speaker 1: of Josh. It's going to take some points, to a

1654
01:28:33,720 --> 01:28:36,240
Speaker 1: lot of points to beat the Chiefs because they that's

1655
01:28:36,360 --> 01:28:39,800
Speaker 1: their modus operandi. They're they're better than anybody. Now, forget

1656
01:28:39,840 --> 01:28:43,920
Speaker 1: about what you've seen. They're like the sixth highest scoring offense,

1657
01:28:43,960 --> 01:28:46,839
Speaker 1: and the Bills are three packers or Bills are two packers,

1658
01:28:46,920 --> 01:28:49,360
Speaker 1: are one all that stuff, I get it. But the

1659
01:28:49,479 --> 01:28:53,200
Speaker 1: Chiefs score a lot of points, and they score about

1660
01:28:53,200 --> 01:28:55,439
Speaker 1: as many as they need to win. And then you know,

1661
01:28:56,120 --> 01:28:57,519
Speaker 1: they're a little bit like the Bills were in the

1662
01:28:57,560 --> 01:29:00,360
Speaker 1: early season. They're you know, keeping teet letting teams hang around.

1663
01:29:00,640 --> 01:29:03,280
Speaker 1: And maybe that's the thing the Bills need to think

1664
01:29:03,280 --> 01:29:05,640
Speaker 1: about as well. You got to make the most of

1665
01:29:05,680 --> 01:29:09,439
Speaker 1: the opportunities you've got. But this Chief's team, it's gonna

1666
01:29:09,479 --> 01:29:13,439
Speaker 1: take a lot of points to beat them. And there's

1667
01:29:13,479 --> 01:29:16,120
Speaker 1: just you can say what you want. That's just the

1668
01:29:16,160 --> 01:29:19,760
Speaker 1: way it's gonna be. I agree with you. I said

1669
01:29:19,800 --> 01:29:22,200
Speaker 1: the passing game as well. It's the strength of the

1670
01:29:22,240 --> 01:29:24,320
Speaker 1: Bills and you got to beat them with your strength.

1671
01:29:24,360 --> 01:29:26,000
Speaker 1: And if they think they can take it away from him,

1672
01:29:26,000 --> 01:29:27,400
Speaker 1: and you've got to prove to them that they can.

1673
01:29:28,200 --> 01:29:31,760
Speaker 1: So I'm with him. Yeah, I think this is a

1674
01:29:31,800 --> 01:29:33,559
Speaker 1: team that you got to cut it loose and throw

1675
01:29:33,640 --> 01:29:37,760
Speaker 1: it all out there and all guns blazing. Break time

1676
01:29:37,840 --> 01:29:40,679
Speaker 1: for us, But when we return, we will have post

1677
01:29:40,880 --> 01:29:44,800

01:29:44,880 --> 01:29:47,960
Speaker 1: others as they tell us how the practice week has

1679
01:29:48,000 --> 01:29:51,040
Speaker 1: begun and the preparations they're making for the Chiefs. We

01:29:51,080 --> 01:29:53,720
Speaker 1: will have their comments here live as their Q and

1681

1684
01:30:20,280 --> 01:30:22,600
Speaker 1: been all over the fields. Kind of unique. He was

1685
01:30:22,680 --> 01:30:25,320
Speaker 1: kind of a dual role player for you, Steve, a

1686
01:30:25,560 --> 01:30:30,679
Speaker 1: little Steve a blimp. We're not even in the straged

1687

Speaker 1: bear of normalcy. Welcome to our number three of a

1688
01:30:37,479 --> 01:30:40,439

1689
01:30:40,560 --> 01:30:44,400
Speaker 1: with you as we are awaiting the Bills players to

1690
01:30:44,640 --> 01:30:47,559
Speaker 1: get off the practice field and they will be setting

1691
01:30:47,680 --> 01:30:51,480
Speaker 1: up for their various zoom call, Q and A interviews

Speaker 1: Steve and I are here every Monday to Friday on

1695
01:31:04,560 --> 01:31:07,639

1696
01:31:08,200 --> 01:31:11,080
Speaker 1: On this program we call One Bills Live. And it'd

1697
01:31:11,120 --> 01:31:16,160
Speaker 1: be interesting to hear Josh Allen's comments, Steve, especially in

1698
01:31:16,240 --> 01:31:19,320
Speaker 1: the wake of our interview with Hall of Famer Kurt

1699
01:31:19,400 --> 01:31:23,200
Speaker 1: Warner yesterday when we were talking to him about Josh

1700
01:31:24,040 --> 01:31:27,400
Speaker 1: and preparing for a game of this magnitude, you know,

1701
01:31:27,560 --> 01:31:32,280
Speaker 1: first time through. And we heard coach McDermott this morning

1702
01:31:32,400 --> 01:31:37,400
Speaker 1: in his press conference basically say, this is the next step.

1703
01:31:38,080 --> 01:31:40,479
Speaker 1: You know, you've won a playoff game now too. In fact,

1704
01:31:41,400 --> 01:31:44,040
Speaker 1: this is the next step. It's the Final four, it's

1705
01:31:44,160 --> 01:31:49,880
Speaker 1: Championship weekend. It's the next step in the growth model

1706
01:31:50,600 --> 01:31:53,120
Speaker 1: for a young quarterback like this. Yeah, no question, and

1707
01:31:53,200 --> 01:31:55,920
Speaker 1: it's not so much about for a guy and I

1708
01:31:56,080 --> 01:31:58,280
Speaker 1: get it. People say, well, he lost this game. It

1709
01:31:58,800 --> 01:32:01,599
Speaker 1: wins are not quarterback stat I mean, if he plays

1710
01:32:01,640 --> 01:32:03,760
Speaker 1: well and the team loses and the defense gives up

1711
01:32:03,840 --> 01:32:05,800
Speaker 1: nine thousand, You're not gonna blame the quarterback for that.

1712
01:32:06,880 --> 01:32:09,240
Speaker 1: I'm exaggerating, obviously, to make a point it Josh needs

1713
01:32:09,280 --> 01:32:12,479
Speaker 1: to play well. When you're in these games, your best

1714
01:32:12,560 --> 01:32:14,600
Speaker 1: players have to play well. It doesn't mean they have to,

1715
01:32:14,800 --> 01:32:17,479
Speaker 1: you know, have a you know, four hundred and fifty

1716
01:32:17,560 --> 01:32:20,080
Speaker 1: yards passing, six touchdowns and no picks. But you gotta

1717
01:32:20,080 --> 01:32:21,840
Speaker 1: play well, and you gotta make plays that are there.

1718
01:32:22,680 --> 01:32:25,000
Speaker 1: You've got to make plays off the page. You've got

1719
01:32:25,120 --> 01:32:27,759
Speaker 1: to play the way you have played in the regular season,

1720
01:32:28,520 --> 01:32:31,880
Speaker 1: and you can't take a step backwards. Certainly, no matter

1721
01:32:31,960 --> 01:32:34,519
Speaker 1: how this game goes, Josh is going to continue to

1722
01:32:34,560 --> 01:32:39,920
Speaker 1: have critics unless he does light it up. But Sean's right.

1723
01:32:40,880 --> 01:32:45,800
Speaker 1: The quarterback position, more so than any other in the game,

1724
01:32:47,280 --> 01:32:49,560
Speaker 1: is about how deep you can carry your team, and

1725
01:32:49,640 --> 01:32:52,439
Speaker 1: if you play well and give him a chance, that's

1726
01:32:52,520 --> 01:32:55,679
Speaker 1: when you become kind of above the wins and losses.

1727
01:32:55,720 --> 01:32:58,720
Speaker 1: A guy's like Aaron. Nobody thinks Aaron Rodgers anything but

1728
01:32:58,720 --> 01:33:00,760
Speaker 1: a great quarterback, but he's been to you know, been

1729
01:33:00,800 --> 01:33:02,800
Speaker 1: to a super Bowl and won it, and he hasn't.

1730
01:33:02,840 --> 01:33:05,559
Speaker 1: He's been to one, right, I think that's right. He's

1731
01:33:05,600 --> 01:33:08,680
Speaker 1: been to one super Bowl, but he's continually year after

1732
01:33:08,800 --> 01:33:11,479
Speaker 1: year a tremendous quarterback because he gives his team a chance.

1733
01:33:12,200 --> 01:33:13,920
Speaker 1: That's where Josh has to get and he has to

1734
01:33:14,000 --> 01:33:17,960
Speaker 1: stay there year after year, game after game. These kind

1735
01:33:18,040 --> 01:33:20,760
Speaker 1: of games are the yardstick by which that comes about. Yeah,

1736
01:33:21,240 --> 01:33:23,600
Speaker 1: we're getting word that Josh is on his way to

1737
01:33:23,920 --> 01:33:25,920
Speaker 1: his media Q and A, so we'll get to that

1738
01:33:26,120 --> 01:33:28,880
Speaker 1: very shortly, So stay tuned for that as he takes

1739
01:33:29,000 --> 01:33:32,400
Speaker 1: questions from the local and the Kansas City media, because

1740
01:33:32,720 --> 01:33:35,360
Speaker 1: once we get to this step in the playoff picture,

1741
01:33:36,200 --> 01:33:39,880
Speaker 1: national media comes in as well as visiting media. So

1742
01:33:40,040 --> 01:33:45,080
Speaker 1: we'll go to Josh Allen right now in your pro

1743
01:33:45,360 --> 01:33:52,000
Speaker 1: career at handling pressure situations on bigger stages. Yeah, I mean,

1744
01:33:52,080 --> 01:33:54,400
Speaker 1: it's it's one of those things where you just try

1745
01:33:54,479 --> 01:33:56,040
Speaker 1: not to think about it and not trying to put

1746
01:33:56,080 --> 01:34:00,240
Speaker 1: it anything more than it needs to be to make

1747
01:34:00,240 --> 01:34:01,920
Speaker 1: it a bigger dealing it needs to be. And you

1748
01:34:02,000 --> 01:34:04,800
Speaker 1: know that's that's coming with you know, the coaching staff

1749
01:34:04,880 --> 01:34:08,360
Speaker 1: here day Will and um door seeing just they've been

1750
01:34:08,400 --> 01:34:10,920
Speaker 1: in situations like this and just tell me like what

1751
01:34:11,120 --> 01:34:14,200
Speaker 1: to expect, um, how to handle myself. And obviously, you

1752
01:34:14,280 --> 01:34:16,000
Speaker 1: know I've played in a few big games and as

1753
01:34:16,080 --> 01:34:18,240
Speaker 1: we go on here, every every game's a bigger game

1754
01:34:18,280 --> 01:34:21,360
Speaker 1: than the last one. And um, you know, it's still

1755
01:34:21,560 --> 01:34:23,720
Speaker 1: still the same game of football, and we don't need

1756
01:34:23,760 --> 01:34:27,200
Speaker 1: to reinvent anything on our offense. Um, We've got to

1757
01:34:27,240 --> 01:34:28,599
Speaker 1: go up there and try to execute a game plan

1758
01:34:28,680 --> 01:34:30,920
Speaker 1: and trying to be the best versions of ourselves we

1759
01:34:31,000 --> 01:34:35,240
Speaker 1: can be, specifically when facing the Chiefs. How beneficial and

1760
01:34:35,320 --> 01:34:37,760
Speaker 1: what did you learn from what you guys and what

1761
01:34:37,880 --> 01:34:42,080
Speaker 1: you specifically saw the first time around earlier this season? Well, yeah,

1762
01:34:42,080 --> 01:34:43,800
Speaker 1: I mean they showed a couple of different things on

1763
01:34:43,920 --> 01:34:48,040
Speaker 1: defense and stuff we probably weren't expecting. Um, you know,

1764
01:34:48,160 --> 01:34:50,840
Speaker 1: and I think we've we've gotten a lot better since

1765
01:34:50,960 --> 01:34:53,559
Speaker 1: that game. Um, you know, they can say the same thing,

1766
01:34:53,680 --> 01:34:56,200
Speaker 1: and it's just two good teams that are gonna go

1767
01:34:56,280 --> 01:34:58,200
Speaker 1: out out there and compete and it's gonna be a

1768
01:34:58,280 --> 01:35:00,439
Speaker 1: four quarter dog fight. We know that win. Stand that

1769
01:35:01,040 --> 01:35:02,600
Speaker 1: we got to do everything in our power to, like

1770
01:35:02,640 --> 01:35:05,479
Speaker 1: I said, put our best foot forward, and um, not

1771
01:35:05,640 --> 01:35:09,160
Speaker 1: make dumb, not make dumb mistakes and put the ball

1772
01:35:09,200 --> 01:35:10,679
Speaker 1: where it needs to be if they go their zone

1773
01:35:10,760 --> 01:35:12,320
Speaker 1: or if they play man. We gotta win our matchups

1774
01:35:12,360 --> 01:35:14,960
Speaker 1: outside and get our run game established and uh, you know,

1775
01:35:15,040 --> 01:35:21,439
Speaker 1: play really good complimentary football. Thanks a lot, Josh. Hey Josh.

1776
01:35:21,439 --> 01:35:24,120
Speaker 1: You know when when we were all kids, way back

1777
01:35:24,200 --> 01:35:27,080
Speaker 1: from me compared to you, we played sports. We visualize

1778
01:35:27,080 --> 01:35:29,479
Speaker 1: ourselves doing something, winning a championship with you, I mean

1779
01:35:29,640 --> 01:35:31,840
Speaker 1: maybe hitting at three pointer to win it, or you know,

1780
01:35:32,040 --> 01:35:33,800
Speaker 1: throwing a touchdown, passing the Super Bowl? What was it

1781
01:35:33,880 --> 01:35:35,680
Speaker 1: for you? What was the vision? You played a lot

1782
01:35:35,720 --> 01:35:37,880
Speaker 1: of sports, you know, what was the visualization for you

1783
01:35:38,000 --> 01:35:40,240
Speaker 1: to be on top of the mountain? Well, I mean yeah,

1784
01:35:40,240 --> 01:35:42,880
Speaker 1: I mean everyone's a little kid. Footballs been my favorite.

1785
01:35:42,920 --> 01:35:45,360
Speaker 1: So it's it's winning that Super Bowl. It's being on

1786
01:35:45,560 --> 01:35:48,280
Speaker 1: on the stage and um, celebrate with my teams and

1787
01:35:48,400 --> 01:35:51,840
Speaker 1: going into locker room and spraying champagne everywhere. And it's

1788
01:35:51,880 --> 01:35:53,680
Speaker 1: just one of those things that not many people get

1789
01:35:53,720 --> 01:35:56,360
Speaker 1: to do. Um, you know, and we're a long way

1790
01:35:56,400 --> 01:35:59,479
Speaker 1: from that point. Um, and uh, you know, I hate

1791
01:35:59,520 --> 01:36:02,280
Speaker 1: thinking about stuff like that, but um, you know, our

1792
01:36:02,320 --> 01:36:04,799
Speaker 1: our goal is Sunday night against the Kansas City Chiefs

1793
01:36:05,439 --> 01:36:07,720
Speaker 1: in the Arrowhead Stadium and um, we know it's gonna

1794
01:36:07,720 --> 01:36:09,519
Speaker 1: be a loud Like I said, we know it's a

1795
01:36:09,720 --> 01:36:11,280
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a dog fight. It's a really good

1796
01:36:11,320 --> 01:36:13,880
Speaker 1: team we're playing, and um, you know we gotta go

Speaker 1: Chief's team has going to where they've been in the

1800
01:36:20,160 --> 01:36:22,200
Speaker 1: last three years. Andy Reid, of course, you guys got

1801
01:36:22,200 --> 01:36:23,760
Speaker 1: a lot of experience in your coaching staff, maybe not

1802
01:36:23,800 --> 01:36:26,120
Speaker 1: as much as players, you know, on the coaching staff.

1803
01:36:26,160 --> 01:36:27,920
Speaker 1: How how much is that a comfort for you guys

Speaker 1: especially just the tidbits that they they shared with him

1813
01:36:50,680 --> 01:36:55,360
Speaker 1: back in the day. And again it's it's just trying

1814
01:36:55,360 --> 01:36:56,720
Speaker 1: not to make it bigger than one needs to be.

1815
01:36:56,840 --> 01:36:59,040
Speaker 1: It's a it's another game, it's the next one, and

1816
01:36:59,120 --> 01:37:01,280
Speaker 1: it's the most important one because it is the next one,

1817
01:37:01,360 --> 01:37:04,320
Speaker 1: and we can't think about anything past that. We got

1818
01:37:04,439 --> 01:37:06,960
Speaker 1: to focus on. Like I said Sunday night at six o'clock,

1819
01:37:07,479 --> 01:37:12,560
Speaker 1: Thanks Josh, Hey, Josh. A lot of people say that

1820
01:37:12,800 --> 01:37:14,759
Speaker 1: at this point, when you make it to the AFC

1821
01:37:15,000 --> 01:37:17,600
Speaker 1: or the NFC Championship game, it's the locker rooms that

1822
01:37:17,680 --> 01:37:20,639
Speaker 1: are the closest that have the best bet making it there,

1823
01:37:20,680 --> 01:37:23,280
Speaker 1: of course with talent on the side. But how much

1824
01:37:23,400 --> 01:37:25,200
Speaker 1: truth do you think there is that? And why do

1825
01:37:25,240 --> 01:37:27,800
Speaker 1: you think there's truth to that? And I believe that's

1826
01:37:27,800 --> 01:37:33,120
Speaker 1: an extremely powerful message, and the reason being, you know,

1827
01:37:33,280 --> 01:37:35,400
Speaker 1: you just you trust the guys, You want to play

1828
01:37:35,439 --> 01:37:37,160
Speaker 1: for him, and you don't want to let them down.

1829
01:37:37,200 --> 01:37:38,600
Speaker 1: And that's what we got in this locker room. A

1830
01:37:38,640 --> 01:37:41,400
Speaker 1: lot of love for each other. Guys that go out

1831
01:37:41,400 --> 01:37:43,800
Speaker 1: there and embust their tails each and every day, Guys

1832
01:37:43,840 --> 01:37:46,600
Speaker 1: that continue to hold each other accountable, you know. And

1833
01:37:46,640 --> 01:37:49,840
Speaker 1: that's set from the top, that's Kim and Terry and

1834
01:37:50,280 --> 01:37:52,479
Speaker 1: the president that they've set from the front office. To

1835
01:37:52,600 --> 01:37:55,480
Speaker 1: the head coach, you know, down through everybody in this organization.

1836
01:37:55,640 --> 01:37:58,200
Speaker 1: So we're all pulling for one thing. You know, we're

1837
01:37:58,240 --> 01:38:00,360
Speaker 1: beating with one heartbeat right now, and it's a it's

1838
01:38:00,360 --> 01:38:02,639
Speaker 1: a good feeling. We all, like I said, trust each

1839
01:38:02,640 --> 01:38:04,519
Speaker 1: other and we're out in the field, we've got each

1840
01:38:04,520 --> 01:38:06,920
Speaker 1: other's backs. Do you think there's a little bit more

1841
01:38:07,040 --> 01:38:09,880
Speaker 1: ease to this week because you trust each other and

1842
01:38:09,960 --> 01:38:12,759
Speaker 1: because you have each other's back to a certain degree,

1843
01:38:13,000 --> 01:38:16,760
Speaker 1: feeling a little bit more loose or relaxed in the moment. Yeah,

1844
01:38:16,800 --> 01:38:18,360
Speaker 1: I mean, we're not We're not going to change who

1845
01:38:18,400 --> 01:38:21,680
Speaker 1: we are. Like I said, it's it's obviously the biggest game,

1846
01:38:22,000 --> 01:38:24,040
Speaker 1: like I said, because it's the next one, but we

1847
01:38:24,160 --> 01:38:27,120
Speaker 1: understand that we don't have to be anyone different than

1848
01:38:27,200 --> 01:38:29,559
Speaker 1: who we are. And if we can go out there

1849
01:38:29,600 --> 01:38:31,960
Speaker 1: and execute and play the game the right way and

1850
01:38:32,040 --> 01:38:35,240
Speaker 1: trust each other and play complimentary football, um, you know,

1851
01:38:35,479 --> 01:38:37,080
Speaker 1: all the other results are gonna be pretty good. But

1852
01:38:37,720 --> 01:38:40,400
Speaker 1: you know, it goes there's goes a lot into it. Um.

1853
01:38:40,560 --> 01:38:41,720
Speaker 1: You know, they get paid on that side of the

1854
01:38:41,800 --> 01:38:44,080
Speaker 1: ball too. And uh, like I said, they're a really

1855
01:38:44,120 --> 01:38:48,040
Speaker 1: good team. They're defending chaps, They understand how this game goes.

1856
01:38:48,200 --> 01:38:50,880
Speaker 1: They've been in it in the last couple of years. Um,

1857
01:38:51,640 --> 01:38:53,680
Speaker 1: you know, they got one of the best, if not

1858
01:38:53,760 --> 01:38:55,960
Speaker 1: the best quarterback in the league and um, one of

1859
01:38:56,000 --> 01:38:58,040
Speaker 1: the best young players to ever play the game. So,

1860
01:38:58,960 --> 01:39:00,400
Speaker 1: like I said, on the offensive out of the ball,

1861
01:39:00,439 --> 01:39:02,200
Speaker 1: it's it's holding on the football and making sure that

1862
01:39:02,240 --> 01:39:04,840
Speaker 1: we're not making any mistakes and execute when we need

1863
01:39:04,840 --> 01:39:10,439
Speaker 1: to execute. Thanks Josh, Hey, Josh maple Bay here. I

1864
01:39:10,560 --> 01:39:13,800
Speaker 1: know this is something that happens every single week with

1865
01:39:13,920 --> 01:39:17,280
Speaker 1: it being a quarterback driven league league. Last week gets

1866
01:39:17,360 --> 01:39:20,599
Speaker 1: Lamar versus Josh. This week it's Josh first, probably Patrick,

1867
01:39:20,960 --> 01:39:22,880
Speaker 1: and I know it's just one game at a time,

1868
01:39:22,920 --> 01:39:25,160
Speaker 1: But does that motivate you at all a little bit more?

1869
01:39:25,320 --> 01:39:27,759
Speaker 1: Knowing the company of the quarterbacks that's still left standing,

1870
01:39:28,960 --> 01:39:32,640
Speaker 1: I mean not really, And again I'm just trying to

1871
01:39:32,680 --> 01:39:34,600
Speaker 1: be the best version of myself and not trying to

1872
01:39:35,439 --> 01:39:38,880
Speaker 1: compare to the other you know, three guys who arguably,

1873
01:39:39,120 --> 01:39:41,160
Speaker 1: you know, it's some of the best guys that ever

1874
01:39:41,240 --> 01:39:44,920
Speaker 1: played the game that are left and it's good company

1875
01:39:44,960 --> 01:39:46,920
Speaker 1: to being for sure, But again, I'm just focused on

1876
01:39:47,120 --> 01:39:49,080
Speaker 1: what I can do for the Buffalo Bills. And how

1877
01:39:49,240 --> 01:39:51,200
Speaker 1: I can help this office move the ball and post

1878
01:39:51,240 --> 01:39:54,040
Speaker 1: in good situations. Josh, A couple of weeks ago, you

1879
01:39:54,120 --> 01:39:56,160
Speaker 1: told us that you ended up where you're supposed to be,

1880
01:39:56,560 --> 01:39:58,600
Speaker 1: being obviously Buffalo, and I was just wondering if you

1881
01:39:58,600 --> 01:40:01,760
Speaker 1: could elaborate on that a little bit. Um, I mean,

1882
01:40:05,040 --> 01:40:07,439
Speaker 1: just the feeling, the sense that I get here. Um,

1883
01:40:08,160 --> 01:40:09,840
Speaker 1: you know, it feels like home, and you know, I

1884
01:40:10,000 --> 01:40:16,360
Speaker 1: wouldn't want to be anywhere else. Thanks, Josh, appreciate man. Hey, Josh,

1885
01:40:16,680 --> 01:40:18,880
Speaker 1: I'm doing a story on Dion Dawkins this week. And

1886
01:40:19,439 --> 01:40:21,160
Speaker 1: you know, every time you see the guy talk, I

1887
01:40:21,240 --> 01:40:24,720
Speaker 1: mean he's so full of energy and um, obviously he's

1888
01:40:24,760 --> 01:40:26,680
Speaker 1: so well liked in the locker room. What makes him

1889
01:40:26,880 --> 01:40:29,479
Speaker 1: so special not only as a player, but as a

1890
01:40:29,520 --> 01:40:31,000
Speaker 1: guy in the room that you know, it just seems

1891
01:40:31,040 --> 01:40:33,880
Speaker 1: like everybody kind of gravitates towards him. Yeah, I mean,

1892
01:40:33,920 --> 01:40:36,680
Speaker 1: he's just he's a vibrant guy. His personality kind of

1893
01:40:36,720 --> 01:40:39,479
Speaker 1: just speaks for himself. Um, you know, he doesn't change

1894
01:40:39,520 --> 01:40:41,559
Speaker 1: who he is. He's a he's a big old kid

1895
01:40:41,640 --> 01:40:44,200
Speaker 1: and we all love him for it. And um, you know,

1896
01:40:44,280 --> 01:40:47,360
Speaker 1: he just he just does the right things, you know,

1897
01:40:47,400 --> 01:40:49,400
Speaker 1: and he's one of the leaders in the locker room.

1898
01:40:49,400 --> 01:40:51,439
Speaker 1: He's got the captain on his chest for a reason. Um,

1899
01:40:51,600 --> 01:40:54,320
Speaker 1: one of like, you know, closest buddies here. And I

1900
01:40:54,439 --> 01:40:57,200
Speaker 1: love that guy. And you know he's he's a fantastic

1901
01:40:57,240 --> 01:41:00,360
Speaker 1: athlete and a fantastic player, and it's one of the

1902
01:41:00,439 --> 01:41:04,120
Speaker 1: many reasons why we love them. And unselfishness for this team.

1903
01:41:04,200 --> 01:41:06,800
Speaker 1: I mean that's not a new story, but you know,

1904
01:41:06,880 --> 01:41:08,720
Speaker 1: you go back to last game and how many times

1905
01:41:08,800 --> 01:41:11,080
Speaker 1: you guys were throwing the ball and for offensive line

1906
01:41:11,120 --> 01:41:13,120
Speaker 1: and sometimes that could be frustrating because they want to

1907
01:41:13,120 --> 01:41:15,360
Speaker 1: get out and run block. What does it say about

1908
01:41:15,400 --> 01:41:17,680
Speaker 1: this group that they're so willing to do whatever the

1909
01:41:17,840 --> 01:41:20,360
Speaker 1: you know, the team needs. Yeah, I mean that's again

1910
01:41:21,760 --> 01:41:25,560
Speaker 1: to the guys themselves, our front office for bringing the

1911
01:41:25,640 --> 01:41:28,599
Speaker 1: right guys in m Dable for trusting what he's calling,

1912
01:41:28,680 --> 01:41:31,200
Speaker 1: and us for trusting Dable for what he's calling. And again,

1913
01:41:31,240 --> 01:41:33,479
Speaker 1: we're whether we throw sixty times a game, we run

1914
01:41:33,520 --> 01:41:35,800
Speaker 1: sixty times a game, you know we're gonna try to

1915
01:41:35,840 --> 01:41:39,240
Speaker 1: do whatever puts us in the best situation to score

1916
01:41:39,280 --> 01:41:41,720
Speaker 1: points and help this team in football games. And you

1917
01:41:41,800 --> 01:41:43,439
Speaker 1: know that's what it's been all all year long, and

1918
01:41:43,479 --> 01:41:47,720
Speaker 1: that's what it's going to continue to be. Thank Jack, Hey,

1919
01:41:47,840 --> 01:41:50,760
Speaker 1: Josh stan Fates in Rochester. I like the playoff, Beard man, Um,

1920
01:41:51,120 --> 01:41:54,360
Speaker 1: thank you. I know you don't face the Chiefs offense.

1921
01:41:54,400 --> 01:41:56,120
Speaker 1: I know you don't go up against Patrick Mahomes, But

1922
01:41:56,200 --> 01:41:59,360
Speaker 1: what type of pressure does that offense put on your

1923
01:41:59,439 --> 01:42:01,680
Speaker 1: guys off and knowing that they can score points in

1924
01:42:01,800 --> 01:42:05,080
Speaker 1: such a hurry. Well, the pressure is to win the game.

1925
01:42:05,120 --> 01:42:08,280
Speaker 1: You gotta score more than them. Um, That's exactly what

1926
01:42:08,400 --> 01:42:10,479
Speaker 1: it is. And they do such a good job of

1927
01:42:10,600 --> 01:42:12,920
Speaker 1: moving the ball and scorn and it could be two

1928
01:42:13,000 --> 01:42:15,320
Speaker 1: plays over the top where it could be a fifteen

1929
01:42:15,360 --> 01:42:17,840
Speaker 1: play drive where you know, Patrick's just finding his his

1930
01:42:17,960 --> 01:42:20,680
Speaker 1: outlets and they're using their RPOs and um, you know

1931
01:42:21,000 --> 01:42:23,320
Speaker 1: I've watched enough games of him this, you know, this year,

1932
01:42:24,080 --> 01:42:27,760
Speaker 1: just as a spectator at home on the couch while

1933
01:42:27,760 --> 01:42:29,439
Speaker 1: they're playing on one to night or something night, whatever

1934
01:42:29,479 --> 01:42:32,320
Speaker 1: the case is. M you know, and they just they

1935
01:42:32,360 --> 01:42:34,560
Speaker 1: play really good football. It's a team that seems like

1936
01:42:34,600 --> 01:42:36,560
Speaker 1: they really care about each other too. And they, like

1937
01:42:36,600 --> 01:42:39,120
Speaker 1: I said, they've been in the situation before, so um,

1938
01:42:39,600 --> 01:42:41,080
Speaker 1: you know, their sides are the same as ours and

1939
01:42:42,000 --> 01:42:44,280
Speaker 1: one team's gonna win, one team's gonna go home. So, um,

1940
01:42:44,479 --> 01:42:46,200
Speaker 1: you know, we gotta everything in our power to make

1941
01:42:46,240 --> 01:42:50,599
Speaker 1: sure that we're the team surviving. I believe Arrowhead's gonna

1942
01:42:50,640 --> 01:42:53,160
Speaker 1: have about seventeen thousand fans, something guys haven't had to

1943
01:42:53,200 --> 01:42:56,519
Speaker 1: deal with this season. It's not new having to deal

1944
01:42:56,600 --> 01:42:58,639
Speaker 1: with crowd noise. You guys did it last year. Houston

1945
01:42:58,800 --> 01:43:02,160
Speaker 1: was very loud, But how different is it when you

1946
01:43:02,280 --> 01:43:05,960
Speaker 1: haven't felt that atmosphere of a road game in over

1947
01:43:06,040 --> 01:43:10,680
Speaker 1: a year. Yeah, it's definitely gonna be and adjust when

1948
01:43:10,720 --> 01:43:13,479
Speaker 1: we get the kind of thing. Um, we're preparing for it,

1949
01:43:14,120 --> 01:43:15,880
Speaker 1: but until year, in that moment, you're you're not really

1950
01:43:15,920 --> 01:43:18,680
Speaker 1: sure what to expect. And I've never played Narrowhood, but

1951
01:43:18,720 --> 01:43:20,720
Speaker 1: everybody tells me the fans are right on top of

1952
01:43:20,840 --> 01:43:24,360
Speaker 1: it and it's gonna get extremely loud with seventeen thousand people. Um,

1953
01:43:24,680 --> 01:43:29,360
Speaker 1: you know they're extremely energetic fan base. Um, you know,

1954
01:43:29,479 --> 01:43:31,160
Speaker 1: and again when when they get things wrong and it

1955
01:43:31,200 --> 01:43:34,439
Speaker 1: gets super loud in there. So you know, we're practicing

1956
01:43:34,479 --> 01:43:35,880
Speaker 1: for it, but until we get in the game, we

1957
01:43:35,920 --> 01:43:41,120
Speaker 1: won't know. Thanks. I think it him by Josh. It's

1958
01:43:41,200 --> 01:43:43,479
Speaker 1: Jay with the Buffalo news. How he is going up

1959
01:43:43,479 --> 01:43:47,320
Speaker 1: against Tradevious White every day in practice sharpened your skills.

1960
01:43:48,400 --> 01:43:50,720
Speaker 1: I mean, Trey is obviously one of the if not

1961
01:43:50,840 --> 01:43:54,040
Speaker 1: the best corner of the game. Just as smarts. You know,

1962
01:43:54,080 --> 01:43:55,479
Speaker 1: how is he able to flip his hips? You know,

1963
01:43:55,520 --> 01:43:57,720
Speaker 1: he's not obviously not the biggest guy, but the way

1964
01:43:57,800 --> 01:43:59,400
Speaker 1: that he can jam our guys at the line and

1965
01:43:59,640 --> 01:44:02,519
Speaker 1: get out and still run with him. Um, he's impressive

1966
01:44:02,600 --> 01:44:06,439
Speaker 1: to watch, you know, and um, just to see his eyes.

1967
01:44:06,479 --> 01:44:08,600
Speaker 1: And he's an extremely smart player. He knows when to

1968
01:44:08,640 --> 01:44:10,680
Speaker 1: fall off in his owns. He knows when to jump

1969
01:44:10,760 --> 01:44:12,720
Speaker 1: on things. So it's just kind of made me very

1970
01:44:12,800 --> 01:44:15,320
Speaker 1: wary of you know, guys that are playing at a

1971
01:44:15,400 --> 01:44:17,519
Speaker 1: high level and what to throw and what not to

1972
01:44:17,600 --> 01:44:19,280
Speaker 1: throw on them. He's one of those guys where you

1973
01:44:19,360 --> 01:44:21,599
Speaker 1: really don't want to throw anything at him. So, um,

1974
01:44:22,240 --> 01:44:23,759
Speaker 1: you know, he's just one of those guys that, again,

1975
01:44:24,000 --> 01:44:25,720
Speaker 1: he wants this team to be the best that can

1976
01:44:25,800 --> 01:44:29,200
Speaker 1: be and he practices extremely hard. And we all know

1977
01:44:29,240 --> 01:44:31,120
Speaker 1: he got paid this offseason, but you know, his work

1978
01:44:31,160 --> 01:44:33,439
Speaker 1: ethic hasn't changed and that's been that's been great. He's

1979
01:44:33,479 --> 01:44:34,640
Speaker 1: one of the you know, like I said, one of

1980
01:44:34,640 --> 01:44:36,880
Speaker 1: the best guys in the locker room, and um, he

1981
01:44:37,000 --> 01:44:40,519
Speaker 1: goes out there and he just competes and performs every week.

1982
01:44:41,240 --> 01:44:43,479
Speaker 1: What was the reaction like when you guys watch film

1983
01:44:43,560 --> 01:44:45,639
Speaker 1: of that game and you see him out there serving

1984
01:44:45,720 --> 01:44:48,800
Speaker 1: as Terrence lead blocker and you know, getting getting the

1985
01:44:48,840 --> 01:44:51,599
Speaker 1: block out Lamar. That really makes sure he gets into

1986
01:44:51,640 --> 01:44:53,400
Speaker 1: the end zone. I mean, what a what an effort

1987
01:44:53,479 --> 01:44:55,240
Speaker 1: play for a guy that you know he didn't make

1988
01:44:55,280 --> 01:44:57,400
Speaker 1: the interception, but he's down there making sure his teammate

1989
01:44:57,439 --> 01:44:59,519
Speaker 1: gets in. You guys must have loved that right on

1990
01:44:59,640 --> 01:45:03,240
Speaker 1: his bird birthday too, which is even better. And uh now,

1991
01:45:03,240 --> 01:45:05,639
Speaker 1: I mean it takes eleven guys out in the field

1992
01:45:05,680 --> 01:45:07,840
Speaker 1: and um, like I said, what we preach here, what

1993
01:45:07,920 --> 01:45:10,920
Speaker 1: coach Dimick preaches is one eleventh and you know, finding

1994
01:45:11,000 --> 01:45:13,479
Speaker 1: work and doing your job. And um, you know that's

1995
01:45:13,800 --> 01:45:16,120
Speaker 1: that one played just going to bepitomizes of how this

1996
01:45:16,200 --> 01:45:18,400
Speaker 1: team really feels about each other. And you might not

1997
01:45:18,520 --> 01:45:20,519
Speaker 1: be the one scorn or get in the end zone,

1998
01:45:20,600 --> 01:45:23,000
Speaker 1: but I think if I can help my brother get

1999
01:45:23,120 --> 01:45:25,679
Speaker 1: in the end zone, I'm gonna do it. Appreciate your time, Josh,

2000
01:45:27,720 --> 01:45:30,519
Speaker 1: Josh Tom Cannavan with the AP. How are you, I'm good.

2001
01:45:30,520 --> 01:45:33,080
Speaker 1: How are you doing good? Um, I've talked to a

2002
01:45:33,160 --> 01:45:36,400
Speaker 1: lot of defensive coordinators in my career and they also

2003
01:45:36,720 --> 01:45:39,439
Speaker 1: they'll say, I can take out any receiver I want.

2004
01:45:39,760 --> 01:45:41,519
Speaker 1: But if you look at the guys who have reached

2005
01:45:41,560 --> 01:45:49,320
Speaker 1: this round, like Kelsey and Digs and and uh Adams,

2006
01:45:49,439 --> 01:45:51,680
Speaker 1: and I mean these guys are all catching over one

2007
01:45:51,760 --> 01:45:57,280
Speaker 1: hundred passes a year, is that theory out the window? Yeah?

2008
01:45:57,560 --> 01:45:59,880
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I think we've got a guy.

2009
01:46:00,000 --> 01:46:01,920
Speaker 1: There's a few other guys in the league that it

2010
01:46:02,000 --> 01:46:03,680
Speaker 1: doesn't really matter what you do. If you roll a

2011
01:46:03,720 --> 01:46:05,680
Speaker 1: safety over the top, if you try to double team them,

2012
01:46:06,160 --> 01:46:09,880
Speaker 1: creates work for other guys. But UM, it's it's hard

2013
01:46:09,920 --> 01:46:12,280
Speaker 1: and you go post high and a guy that can

2014
01:46:12,360 --> 01:46:15,000
Speaker 1: consistently win, you know, that's that's a huge weapon for

2015
01:46:15,080 --> 01:46:17,720
Speaker 1: an offense. But UM, you know, not only do we

2016
01:46:17,800 --> 01:46:19,960
Speaker 1: have staff, we've got John Brown and Cole Beasley and

2017
01:46:20,520 --> 01:46:23,200
Speaker 1: UM a couple other guys that just that are just

2018
01:46:23,439 --> 01:46:26,519
Speaker 1: athletic freaks and um can do different things that not

2019
01:46:26,640 --> 01:46:28,920
Speaker 1: many people can this league. And UM, you know, I

2020
01:46:29,000 --> 01:46:31,080
Speaker 1: trust our guys to go out there and do their job.

2021
01:46:31,160 --> 01:46:34,200
Speaker 1: And UM, they've constantly been performing and The thing is

2022
01:46:34,200 --> 01:46:36,240
Speaker 1: if you take a safety and double stuff and you're

2023
01:46:36,600 --> 01:46:38,519
Speaker 1: leaving another guy one on one or leaving the other

2024
01:46:38,560 --> 01:46:41,920
Speaker 1: side of the field pretty empty. So um, it helps

2025
01:46:41,960 --> 01:46:43,160
Speaker 1: when you got a bunch of guys that can go

2026
01:46:43,160 --> 01:46:49,200
Speaker 1: out there and make place consistently. Thank you. Hey, Josh,

2027
01:46:49,240 --> 01:46:51,600
Speaker 1: It's Michael Katz from the Laramie boomerang. How are you.

2028
01:46:52,040 --> 01:46:54,280
Speaker 1: I'm good. How are you doing. I'm doing well, doing well.

2029
01:46:54,720 --> 01:46:59,880
Speaker 1: Obviously Laramie is pretty excited about everything with your sixth

2030
01:47:00,080 --> 01:47:03,600
Speaker 1: us is right now. Everybody here is intimately familiar with

2031
01:47:03,760 --> 01:47:06,360
Speaker 1: your story and kind of where you've come from, and

2032
01:47:06,640 --> 01:47:09,680
Speaker 1: I know that Wyoming is still really special to you,

2033
01:47:09,960 --> 01:47:11,519
Speaker 1: and so I kind of have the two part question.

2034
01:47:11,640 --> 01:47:15,719
Speaker 1: One what does Larmie and in the University of Wyoming

2035
01:47:15,840 --> 01:47:20,000
Speaker 1: football program mean to you personally? And two have you

2036
01:47:20,160 --> 01:47:23,880
Speaker 1: had a moment where you thought to yourself, a couple

2037
01:47:23,920 --> 01:47:26,599
Speaker 1: of years ago, I was playing Northern Illinois and Air Force,

2038
01:47:27,080 --> 01:47:31,640
Speaker 1: and now I'm one game away from the Super Bowl. Yeah, well,

2039
01:47:31,720 --> 01:47:34,560
Speaker 1: Laramie means so much to me, just the fact that

2040
01:47:34,640 --> 01:47:38,120
Speaker 1: that coaching staff was the one and only team to

2041
01:47:38,160 --> 01:47:41,679
Speaker 1: offer me a scholarship and allow me to continue playing football.

2042
01:47:43,960 --> 01:47:47,080
Speaker 1: The things that I learned there obviously carried on and think,

2043
01:47:47,120 --> 01:47:49,280
Speaker 1: if I don't use a coach Bowl quote every day

2044
01:47:49,280 --> 01:47:51,920
Speaker 1: of my life, I don't know what I'm doing, you know.

2045
01:47:52,240 --> 01:47:54,360
Speaker 1: You just these constant ten bits that he would say,

2046
01:47:54,800 --> 01:47:56,760
Speaker 1: just some of the things that stick in my head. Um,

2047
01:47:56,840 --> 01:47:59,760
Speaker 1: you know. And I'd still talk to Vegan in ball

2048
01:47:59,800 --> 01:48:03,040
Speaker 1: every once in a while. Um, you know. So the

2049
01:48:03,320 --> 01:48:07,080
Speaker 1: guys that are just forever I'm I'm forever indebted to them, um,

2050
01:48:07,520 --> 01:48:10,680
Speaker 1: you know. And Larry is a special place, really is.

2051
01:48:10,760 --> 01:48:13,559
Speaker 1: And everybody asked me how my time was it. Why.

2052
01:48:13,600 --> 01:48:15,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I just I can't say how much enough

2053
01:48:15,320 --> 01:48:17,800
Speaker 1: that I loved it because it is a small town field,

2054
01:48:17,840 --> 01:48:20,160
Speaker 1: it is at college town. I was just you know,

2055
01:48:20,240 --> 01:48:22,920
Speaker 1: it's just fun to be a part of. And I

2056
01:48:23,040 --> 01:48:27,280
Speaker 1: do miss it for sure. All Right, Josh, that's off today, man,

2057
01:48:27,920 --> 01:48:31,560
Speaker 1: I guess all right. So that's Josh Allen meeting with

2058
01:48:31,640 --> 01:48:34,200
Speaker 1: the media after practice today. I was kind of struck

2059
01:48:34,240 --> 01:48:38,160
Speaker 1: the most Steve by how the coaching staff has already

2060
01:48:38,200 --> 01:48:40,240
Speaker 1: clearly delivered the message to him and the rest of

2061
01:48:40,320 --> 01:48:44,640
Speaker 1: the players keep the magnitude of this game in perspective.

2062
01:48:44,720 --> 01:48:46,719
Speaker 1: Just go out and play your best, don't do anything

2063
01:48:46,840 --> 01:48:48,920
Speaker 1: special that isn't true to who you guys are as

2064
01:48:48,960 --> 01:48:52,519
Speaker 1: a football team, identity wise, offense, defense, special teams. Exactly right.

2065
01:48:52,560 --> 01:48:55,120
Speaker 1: You're when you're in this game, you're special. You don't

2066
01:48:55,160 --> 01:48:57,760
Speaker 1: have to do anything special to win it. Just be

2067
01:48:57,920 --> 01:49:00,920
Speaker 1: who you are. That'll be good enough. You are best self,

2068
01:49:01,720 --> 01:49:04,080
Speaker 1: You're You're gonna roll. Don't worry about it. Just play.

2069
01:49:04,640 --> 01:49:07,600
Speaker 1: And it's a great it's a great place. You know,

2070
01:49:07,640 --> 01:49:09,600
Speaker 1: it's a great way to get your guys in the

2071
01:49:09,720 --> 01:49:11,639
Speaker 1: right mindset. You got to take all that stress off

2072
01:49:11,920 --> 01:49:14,120
Speaker 1: for him and just let him play free. The other

2073
01:49:14,200 --> 01:49:17,280
Speaker 1: thing that came across I had forgotten this, Josh Allen

2074
01:49:17,360 --> 01:49:19,680
Speaker 1: has never played in Arrowhead Stadium. The last time the

2075
01:49:19,720 --> 01:49:22,080
Speaker 1: Bills were there, We're in twenty seventeen. That was Dredevious

2076
01:49:22,160 --> 01:49:25,400
Speaker 1: White's rookie year. Tredevious obviously making a big second half

2077
01:49:25,439 --> 01:49:28,320
Speaker 1: interception to clinch a victory there. I believe the final

2078
01:49:28,400 --> 01:49:31,560
Speaker 1: was sixteen to ten. But yes, Alan has not experienced

2079
01:49:31,920 --> 01:49:35,240
Speaker 1: that stadium as of yet. But let's go now to

2080
01:49:35,600 --> 01:49:38,759
Speaker 1: Cole Beasley, who is meeting the media for his question

2081
01:49:38,800 --> 01:49:42,000
Speaker 1: and answer session. Ryan dave Ball was telling us the

2082
01:49:42,040 --> 01:49:45,080
Speaker 1: other day that UM in the locker room. Even though

2083
01:49:45,160 --> 01:49:48,000
Speaker 1: you didn't have a catch in the game, you were

2084
01:49:48,040 --> 01:49:50,800
Speaker 1: like the happiest guy there all smiles. Okay, can you

2085
01:49:51,280 --> 01:49:55,120
Speaker 1: reflect back on that moment what you were thinking. Yeah,

2086
01:49:55,160 --> 01:49:59,439
Speaker 1: I mean I told the White House all week or

2087
01:50:00,240 --> 01:50:03,920
Speaker 1: pretty much you know all playoffs that you know, it

2088
01:50:03,960 --> 01:50:07,160
Speaker 1: doesn't matter where it comes from. Um, I said, I

2089
01:50:07,160 --> 01:50:09,320
Speaker 1: don't care if zero zero catches or a hundred and

2090
01:50:09,439 --> 01:50:10,800
Speaker 1: give them all and I'm gonna do what I gotta

2091
01:50:10,840 --> 01:50:13,960
Speaker 1: do to help us win. So I don't care how

2092
01:50:14,000 --> 01:50:15,240
Speaker 1: we have to do it. You know, that's not the

2093
01:50:15,280 --> 01:50:18,040
Speaker 1: most important thing. The most important things, you know, just

2094
01:50:18,240 --> 01:50:19,960
Speaker 1: getting here, all of your play and doing the best

2095
01:50:20,040 --> 01:50:21,640
Speaker 1: you can. You can't control with the ball goes all

2096
01:50:21,680 --> 01:50:24,160
Speaker 1: the time. So um, you know the goal is still

2097
01:50:24,280 --> 01:50:27,479
Speaker 1: to make an impact. Um. You know that's a I

2098
01:50:27,520 --> 01:50:29,000
Speaker 1: mean a lot of people don't understand that you can.

2099
01:50:29,080 --> 01:50:31,080
Speaker 1: You can make an impact in the game without catching

2100
01:50:31,120 --> 01:50:33,439
Speaker 1: the ball, whether it's strong and coverage, and you know,

2101
01:50:33,479 --> 01:50:37,320
Speaker 1: they have to worry about me underneath either way. So

2102
01:50:37,800 --> 01:50:41,120
Speaker 1: you know, if they're bringing more attention to me in

2103
01:50:41,280 --> 01:50:43,439
Speaker 1: some areas and that's gonna open up or free somebody

2104
01:50:43,520 --> 01:50:46,800
Speaker 1: up down the field. You know, so um, I don't

2105
01:50:46,800 --> 01:50:50,320
Speaker 1: really care. I told told steps, I don't care about

2106
01:50:50,400 --> 01:50:52,000
Speaker 1: zero catches or a hundred. As long as you win,

2107
01:50:52,280 --> 01:50:54,720
Speaker 1: I'm happy as well. So let's just do that, do

2108
01:50:54,840 --> 01:50:58,800
Speaker 1: what we gotta do, cool for what it's worth. And

2109
01:50:58,840 --> 01:51:00,519
Speaker 1: I don't think you should care what I think. I'm

2110
01:51:00,520 --> 01:51:02,880
Speaker 1: always impressed by your zooms. I lurk, even though I

2111
01:51:02,920 --> 01:51:04,960
Speaker 1: don't always ask you a question. I'm here and I

2112
01:51:05,120 --> 01:51:08,120
Speaker 1: listen to them every week, And your perspective is so

2113
01:51:08,280 --> 01:51:11,880
Speaker 1: impressive to me. Have you always had that perspective or

2114
01:51:11,960 --> 01:51:14,400
Speaker 1: have you grown into it now? I had to grow

2115
01:51:14,479 --> 01:51:17,200
Speaker 1: into that, you know, it took a lot um. You know,

2116
01:51:17,240 --> 01:51:19,560
Speaker 1: in the in the age of social media and all that.

2117
01:51:19,800 --> 01:51:22,400
Speaker 1: You know, there's there's so many things pulling you away

2118
01:51:22,520 --> 01:51:26,680
Speaker 1: from from what's important, what matters the most. And you know,

2119
01:51:26,800 --> 01:51:29,439
Speaker 1: early in my career I cared too much about the

2120
01:51:29,520 --> 01:51:32,560
Speaker 1: opinions of other people. I would let it frustrate me

2121
01:51:32,640 --> 01:51:35,479
Speaker 1: because they didn't they were saying things that weren't true

2122
01:51:35,960 --> 01:51:41,120
Speaker 1: and it was based off just something statistical or or whatever.

2123
01:51:41,240 --> 01:51:45,519
Speaker 1: And you know, you don't have to have fifteen hundred

2124
01:51:45,640 --> 01:51:47,720
Speaker 1: receiving yards every year to be one of the best

2125
01:51:47,800 --> 01:51:50,680
Speaker 1: to do it. You know, it's really more important to

2126
01:51:50,760 --> 01:51:53,920
Speaker 1: me when my teammates think, when my wife thinks, and

2127
01:51:54,000 --> 01:51:57,760
Speaker 1: my kids think, um, and the people that actually know me. Um,

2128
01:51:58,160 --> 01:51:59,639
Speaker 1: you know, it took me a long time to kind

2129
01:51:59,640 --> 01:52:02,480
Speaker 1: of get to that point and get away from perception

2130
01:52:02,640 --> 01:52:05,519
Speaker 1: of the public and all that stuff. So but I'm

2131
01:52:05,600 --> 01:52:07,680
Speaker 1: happy I did. It changed a lot of things for me,

2132
01:52:07,760 --> 01:52:10,000
Speaker 1: and it kind of gave me the freedom to play

2133
01:52:10,080 --> 01:52:12,160
Speaker 1: free and do what I do and become a better

2134
01:52:12,240 --> 01:52:15,600
Speaker 1: player because of it. Thank you very much. Cool, Yes, no,

2135
01:52:17,200 --> 01:52:19,479
Speaker 1: think cool, Good to see you, let me see you.

2136
01:52:19,560 --> 01:52:22,880
Speaker 1: But um, post mcdarrett, Frazier, and Dable have coached in

2137
01:52:22,960 --> 01:52:26,960
Speaker 1: the combined eighteen championships with a relatively young roster with

2138
01:52:27,120 --> 01:52:29,919
Speaker 1: some bedroom players like yourself on this team. How important

2139
01:52:30,000 --> 01:52:32,600
Speaker 1: is it to have multiple coaches with years of experience

2140
01:52:32,760 --> 01:52:37,960
Speaker 1: playing in championship weekend? Um, it's important because they can

2141
01:52:38,080 --> 01:52:41,800
Speaker 1: relay the message that it's not anything different than what

2142
01:52:41,960 --> 01:52:44,840
Speaker 1: it's always been. Um, it's still football at the end

2143
01:52:44,840 --> 01:52:49,840
Speaker 1: of the day. Um, there shouldn't be any added pressure you.

2144
01:52:49,920 --> 01:52:52,000
Speaker 1: No matter how you think about a game, you're gonna

2145
01:52:52,040 --> 01:52:55,080
Speaker 1: you're either gonna win or lose, you know, no matter

2146
01:52:55,160 --> 01:52:58,920
Speaker 1: how you go into it, Um, you know, with how

2147
01:52:58,960 --> 01:53:01,880
Speaker 1: you're thinking in your mind, and so you know, I

2148
01:53:02,000 --> 01:53:03,519
Speaker 1: kind of think about it that way. It's easy for

2149
01:53:03,600 --> 01:53:05,120
Speaker 1: me to relax and go play because at the end

2150
01:53:05,120 --> 01:53:07,160
Speaker 1: of the day, it's just football and I'm gonna give

2151
01:53:07,320 --> 01:53:08,760
Speaker 1: my best effort. You know what else can I do.

2152
01:53:08,880 --> 01:53:12,040
Speaker 1: There's no reason to overthink things and kind of adding

2153
01:53:12,040 --> 01:53:16,200
Speaker 1: any pressure upon yourself. I know I am as a player.

2154
01:53:16,240 --> 01:53:19,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna trust in myself and you know, do the

2155
01:53:19,360 --> 01:53:21,680
Speaker 1: best things that I can to help the team win.

2156
01:53:21,760 --> 01:53:24,519
Speaker 1: And that's it. And that's that's enough. If we've known wins,

2157
01:53:24,680 --> 01:53:27,479
Speaker 1: I mean, it is what it is, you know, so

2158
01:53:28,000 --> 01:53:29,640
Speaker 1: you just go out there and give it your best

2159
01:53:29,680 --> 01:53:32,800
Speaker 1: shot and there's no regrets. Absolutely, thank you and good

2160
01:53:32,880 --> 01:53:38,120
Speaker 1: luck this weekend. Thank you. I call Matt Fairburn here. Um.

2161
01:53:39,040 --> 01:53:41,200
Speaker 1: You know, kind of any way you look at it,

2162
01:53:41,479 --> 01:53:44,240
Speaker 1: whether it's four wide receiver sets or how often you

2163
01:53:44,280 --> 01:53:46,560
Speaker 1: guys throw the ball or play action or going for

2164
01:53:46,640 --> 01:53:49,760
Speaker 1: it on fourth down, this is an aggressive offense. Um.

2165
01:53:50,439 --> 01:53:54,240
Speaker 1: What's it like to play in such an aggressive offense

2166
01:53:54,320 --> 01:53:57,840
Speaker 1: where we're coach Dable really trust you guys to make

2167
01:53:58,080 --> 01:54:00,760
Speaker 1: make those types of place. Well, I've been on the

2168
01:54:00,840 --> 01:54:02,880
Speaker 1: other side of it, and there's really no other way

2169
01:54:03,520 --> 01:54:06,960
Speaker 1: you know, you would want it. It's it's so much fun, um,

2170
01:54:08,439 --> 01:54:11,880
Speaker 1: you know. And it also establishes a mentality throughout to

2171
01:54:11,960 --> 01:54:15,080
Speaker 1: the whole team as well. And you know he's going

2172
01:54:15,160 --> 01:54:19,080
Speaker 1: to be aggressive. Um, so that kind of his mindset

2173
01:54:19,160 --> 01:54:21,519
Speaker 1: and travels through our mind as well, and we're going

2174
01:54:21,560 --> 01:54:23,960
Speaker 1: in the same way. It's almost at this point to

2175
01:54:24,000 --> 01:54:25,920
Speaker 1: where we're if we're not aggressive, you know, we're probably

2176
01:54:25,960 --> 01:54:28,960
Speaker 1: be upset about it. So um, you know we have.

2177
01:54:29,360 --> 01:54:31,160
Speaker 1: It all comes down to having confidence and who you

2178
01:54:31,320 --> 01:54:34,080
Speaker 1: have one on the team. Um, you have confidence in

2179
01:54:34,160 --> 01:54:37,080
Speaker 1: your players, you can be aggressive and you know, him

2180
01:54:37,120 --> 01:54:41,760
Speaker 1: being aggressive shows and we feel that confidence. Mum through him.

2181
01:54:41,840 --> 01:54:44,440
Speaker 1: That gives us the ability to play free and play

2182
01:54:44,520 --> 01:54:48,320
Speaker 1: relaxed and you know, play with confidence as well. All right,

2183
01:54:48,360 --> 01:54:51,080
Speaker 1: that's Cole Beasley addressing the media and his Q and

2184
01:54:51,160 --> 01:54:55,879
Speaker 1: A this afternoon following practice as a team was practicing indoors.

2185
01:54:56,240 --> 01:54:57,880
Speaker 1: And I don't know how many fans are aware of this,

2186
01:54:58,000 --> 01:55:03,000
Speaker 1: but Cole Beasley recently just moved himself completely from social media.

2187
01:55:03,920 --> 01:55:06,520
Speaker 1: I want to say it was before the season even started.

2188
01:55:06,920 --> 01:55:09,840
Speaker 1: He just had had enough of it. He realized that

2189
01:55:10,480 --> 01:55:16,400
Speaker 1: it was impacting his thoughts too much, affecting him personally

2190
01:55:16,640 --> 01:55:18,520
Speaker 1: too much. He was taking it too personally, and so

2191
01:55:19,640 --> 01:55:21,800
Speaker 1: he just said, I gotta get away from the trolls

2192
01:55:21,880 --> 01:55:24,720
Speaker 1: and the naysayers and the doubters and the haters, and

2193
01:55:24,880 --> 01:55:28,080
Speaker 1: he just completely unplugged from social media. Says the best

2194
01:55:28,120 --> 01:55:31,800
Speaker 1: thing he's done for his career. And I think he's

2195
01:55:31,840 --> 01:55:35,240
Speaker 1: playing with a lot freer conscience this year. And you know,

2196
01:55:35,320 --> 01:55:37,280
Speaker 1: he's had the best season of his career. I'm not

2197
01:55:37,320 --> 01:55:40,120
Speaker 1: saying that's because he got off social media, but being

2198
01:55:40,200 --> 01:55:43,840
Speaker 1: away from that negativity I think has helped him. Yeah,

2199
01:55:43,920 --> 01:55:47,600
Speaker 1: I would agree, it's got you gotta manage your life

2200
01:55:47,640 --> 01:55:50,520
Speaker 1: away from the field so it can be enhance your

2201
01:55:50,600 --> 01:55:53,360
Speaker 1: life on the field. And by taking steps like that,

2202
01:55:53,480 --> 01:55:56,240
Speaker 1: it's It's critical, There's no question about it. And I

2203
01:55:56,320 --> 01:55:59,000
Speaker 1: know other guys did that. You know, obviously social media

2204
01:55:59,040 --> 01:56:02,080
Speaker 1: was nothing when I was It didn't exist. Other guys

2205
01:56:02,120 --> 01:56:06,360
Speaker 1: did certain you know, stuff like you make decisions based

2206
01:56:06,440 --> 01:56:08,120
Speaker 1: on how it makes you feel during the day, what

2207
01:56:08,240 --> 01:56:10,440
Speaker 1: it demands of you away from the field, all of

2208
01:56:10,520 --> 01:56:13,840
Speaker 1: that stuff, and some of them are hard decisions, but

2209
01:56:14,680 --> 01:56:17,400
Speaker 1: you know, for god, like Beasley, Obviously, it seemed like

2210
01:56:17,680 --> 01:56:19,680
Speaker 1: at least one of the decisions he got right this

2211
01:56:19,800 --> 01:56:21,920
Speaker 1: year because he had his best year of his career.

2212
01:56:22,400 --> 01:56:25,280
Speaker 1: More player comments for you now here on this stream

2213
01:56:25,360 --> 01:56:28,360
Speaker 1: and on gr and MSG. We bring you now Micah

2214
01:56:28,440 --> 01:56:32,640
Speaker 1: hide Bill safety. Now. I think the point that we're playing, um,

2215
01:56:33,760 --> 01:56:36,800
Speaker 1: it's kind of hard to overlook this team. Um, you

2216
01:56:36,920 --> 01:56:39,560
Speaker 1: kind of gotta live in the moment and pair accordingly.

2217
01:56:40,080 --> 01:56:44,000
Speaker 1: You know, my message to to anybody who asks is just, um,

2218
01:56:44,120 --> 01:56:47,480
Speaker 1: watch more film, you know, focus, focus a little more.

2219
01:56:48,200 --> 01:56:51,320
Speaker 1: This is a huge opportunity for us. Um. You know,

2220
01:56:51,400 --> 01:56:52,920
Speaker 1: it is one game away from the super Bowl, but

2221
01:56:53,160 --> 01:56:55,080
Speaker 1: we have to get past this team. This team is uh,

2222
01:56:55,680 --> 01:56:57,880
Speaker 1: a very good football team. So you got to prepare

2223
01:56:57,920 --> 01:57:01,840
Speaker 1: for this, for this team and for this up. Hey Micah,

2224
01:57:02,000 --> 01:57:06,520
Speaker 1: it's Kim Jones from NFL Network. You guys, great, how

2225
01:57:06,600 --> 01:57:10,120
Speaker 1: are you. It's good to see you. It seems to

2226
01:57:10,200 --> 01:57:13,400
Speaker 1: me it's really hard to make improvements in the midst

2227
01:57:13,440 --> 01:57:15,840
Speaker 1: of a season. I just think it would be you know,

2228
01:57:15,960 --> 01:57:18,320
Speaker 1: you're in that grind mode and here you are having

2229
01:57:18,400 --> 01:57:22,480
Speaker 1: to improve. Yet your defense has certainly done that this year.

2230
01:57:23,000 --> 01:57:27,520
Speaker 1: What was the key to making those improvements? Micah? Um well,

2231
01:57:27,560 --> 01:57:29,840
Speaker 1: I think we we understood that we have to be

2232
01:57:29,880 --> 01:57:32,960
Speaker 1: playing our best ball come you know, in the December

2233
01:57:33,000 --> 01:57:36,320
Speaker 1: and January. Um, you know, everything that was happening, Earl,

2234
01:57:36,400 --> 01:57:38,360
Speaker 1: the season was an ideal. We didn't we didn't want

2235
01:57:38,360 --> 01:57:41,800
Speaker 1: to be given up, you know, Um, the yards that

2236
01:57:41,840 --> 01:57:44,800
Speaker 1: we were giving up touchdowns in the red zone. Um,

2237
01:57:45,040 --> 01:57:46,480
Speaker 1: you know, it's name a few. We didn't. We don't

2238
01:57:46,480 --> 01:57:47,920
Speaker 1: want to be doing that stuff. But we understood that

2239
01:57:48,200 --> 01:57:50,200
Speaker 1: as long as we keep working at it and practicing

2240
01:57:50,240 --> 01:57:52,320
Speaker 1: at it, then, um, you know, eventually we're gonna get better.

2241
01:57:52,360 --> 01:57:54,840
Speaker 1: And that's kind of the mindset around here, you know,

2242
01:57:55,000 --> 01:57:57,840
Speaker 1: just continuing to work on something you know, each and

2243
01:57:57,880 --> 01:58:01,080
Speaker 1: every day and um and hopefully you playing your best

2244
01:58:01,120 --> 01:58:03,920
Speaker 1: baltwards in the season. And if I could just ask

2245
01:58:04,000 --> 01:58:10,160
Speaker 1: one more, I interviewed Tarran and and Tredavious after that

2246
01:58:10,320 --> 01:58:12,840
Speaker 1: game Saturday, and I believe you were one of the

2247
01:58:12,920 --> 01:58:15,680
Speaker 1: defensive acts who initially came over to that group, and

2248
01:58:16,040 --> 01:58:19,200
Speaker 1: I just thought, Mica, you know, I believe in this stuff.

2249
01:58:19,360 --> 01:58:22,000
Speaker 1: I thought that said so much about the Bills and

2250
01:58:22,160 --> 01:58:24,560
Speaker 1: who all of you are and you are all in

2251
01:58:24,640 --> 01:58:27,520
Speaker 1: it together. And I've covered teams not in Buffalo, but

2252
01:58:27,760 --> 01:58:29,920
Speaker 1: who haven't been in it together. Like I recognize that.

2253
01:58:30,000 --> 01:58:32,800
Speaker 1: So if you would take me back to that moment,

2254
01:58:32,840 --> 01:58:34,520
Speaker 1: if you don't think I'm crazy with all of this.

2255
01:58:35,080 --> 01:58:39,040
Speaker 1: Does do moments like that matter when it comes to teamwork,

2256
01:58:39,160 --> 01:58:41,480
Speaker 1: when it comes to winning, and when it comes to culture,

2257
01:58:41,880 --> 01:58:44,680
Speaker 1: Oh for sure, for sure. Yeah, I remember exactly we're

2258
01:58:44,720 --> 01:58:46,240
Speaker 1: talking about. You know, we were going off the field,

2259
01:58:46,280 --> 01:58:50,240
Speaker 1: your interviewing tearing. Um, you know, I think that we're

2260
01:58:50,320 --> 01:58:55,320
Speaker 1: we even that play happened. Obviously, it's going viral. When

2261
01:58:55,360 --> 01:58:58,760
Speaker 1: I just tackled Tarran into the screen. I was just

2262
01:58:58,880 --> 01:59:04,000
Speaker 1: extremely happy for Like, that's that's stuff that, Um, I

2263
01:59:04,120 --> 01:59:05,960
Speaker 1: could say if he got another pick six like that,

2264
01:59:06,000 --> 01:59:08,040
Speaker 1: I'm probably gonna do it again because I'm I was

2265
01:59:08,120 --> 01:59:10,560
Speaker 1: that excited for him. Um. You know, I know the

2266
01:59:10,680 --> 01:59:14,360
Speaker 1: hard work and the film as much films as he watches,

2267
01:59:14,480 --> 01:59:16,840
Speaker 1: and UM, for it to pay off like that in

2268
01:59:17,000 --> 01:59:20,680
Speaker 1: the divisional round of the playoffs, huge play, honestly, you know,

2269
01:59:20,720 --> 01:59:24,440
Speaker 1: that's the play probably the reason why we won the game. Um.

2270
01:59:24,800 --> 01:59:28,440
Speaker 1: Just just a huge momentum shift. Um. And so after

2271
01:59:28,480 --> 01:59:30,200
Speaker 1: the game when you were interviewing him, you know, we

2272
01:59:30,280 --> 01:59:31,840
Speaker 1: all just saw him and we like to mess you

2273
01:59:31,880 --> 01:59:35,000
Speaker 1: tearing a little bit. That's our that's our that's our boy.

2274
01:59:35,480 --> 01:59:37,920
Speaker 1: And you know we were just um right there messing

2275
01:59:38,000 --> 01:59:40,240
Speaker 1: with him. But I think that's just a not just

2276
01:59:40,400 --> 01:59:43,080
Speaker 1: the defensive backs or the defense of the offense or

2277
01:59:43,120 --> 01:59:46,760
Speaker 1: special teams. That's just how people are around here. The organization. Um,

2278
01:59:47,440 --> 01:59:50,120
Speaker 1: I think you know, being and Sean, they hand picked

2279
01:59:50,160 --> 01:59:52,520
Speaker 1: guys to to be in this and to be in

2280
01:59:52,560 --> 01:59:56,040
Speaker 1: this locker room, and um, you know we were a

2281
01:59:56,120 --> 01:59:58,920
Speaker 1: tight knit group. Um when that you know, even when

2282
01:59:58,960 --> 02:00:02,280
Speaker 1: it comes down to the the janitors, the equipment staff,

2283
02:00:03,080 --> 02:00:07,120
Speaker 1: training room, the cafeteria ladies, um, the cafeteria man. Sorry

2284
02:00:07,360 --> 02:00:11,080
Speaker 1: sorry Bill, Um, you know whoever it is, that's that's

2285
02:00:11,080 --> 02:00:13,400
Speaker 1: in our building. Uh. You know, we're having fun, We're

2286
02:00:13,400 --> 02:00:16,040
Speaker 1: appreciate each other, and that just correlates us on the

2287
02:00:16,040 --> 02:00:23,960
Speaker 1: football field. You remain, Michael, thank you. Probably a little

2288
02:00:24,000 --> 02:00:25,760
Speaker 1: bit of a lame question here, Micha, how are you?

2289
02:00:25,840 --> 02:00:29,880
Speaker 1: By the way, Um, but but how fun was Saturday?

2290
02:00:30,160 --> 02:00:32,160
Speaker 1: I mean, you guys, we've been talking to you guys

2291
02:00:32,200 --> 02:00:34,640
Speaker 1: for three years about the build up to this moment

2292
02:00:35,000 --> 02:00:37,840
Speaker 1: and then to have that, you know, huge not that

2293
02:00:37,920 --> 02:00:39,880
Speaker 1: they haven't all been very big wins this year, but

2294
02:00:40,280 --> 02:00:43,840
Speaker 1: how much fun was that in the momentum? Winning is

2295
02:00:43,880 --> 02:00:47,320
Speaker 1: always fun. Winning is is the reason why you play

2296
02:00:47,400 --> 02:00:50,360
Speaker 1: the game, Um, the reason why I play, the reason

2297
02:00:50,360 --> 02:00:52,760
Speaker 1: why you know a lot of it. I would like

2298
02:00:52,840 --> 02:00:55,360
Speaker 1: to think that majority of people play is to win.

2299
02:00:55,880 --> 02:00:59,080
Speaker 1: So anytime you're doing that, it's fun. Um. But at

2300
02:00:59,120 --> 02:01:02,360
Speaker 1: the same time, you know, uh, we realized certainly after

2301
02:01:02,440 --> 02:01:05,520
Speaker 1: the victory that there's another big one coming up, so

2302
02:01:07,120 --> 02:01:11,040
Speaker 1: this would be even will this will be you know,

2303
02:01:11,360 --> 02:01:13,800
Speaker 1: top knots. This will be a real fun game to

2304
02:01:14,080 --> 02:01:17,680
Speaker 1: go out there and win. All right. That's Micah Hyde

2305
02:01:17,680 --> 02:01:20,480
Speaker 1: addressing the media and his question and answer session following

2306
02:01:20,560 --> 02:01:23,320
Speaker 1: practice Today are thanks to those of you who joined

2307
02:01:23,440 --> 02:01:26,160
Speaker 1: us on the live stream. We will end it here

2308
02:01:26,240 --> 02:01:29,520
Speaker 1: for you. For those of you on MSG or listening

2309
02:01:29,600 --> 02:01:31,280
Speaker 1: on the radio, we'll be back in a moment here

2310
02:01:31,320 --> 02:01:33,440
Speaker 1: on One Bills Live, presented by Kalid to Health. It's

2311
02:01:33,480 --> 02:01:50,480
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's Radio. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you final

2312
02:01:50,560 --> 02:01:53,360
Speaker 1: half hour of a Wednesday edition of One Bills Live,

2313
02:01:53,480 --> 02:01:55,919
Speaker 1: and there is there are some news and notes concerning

2314
02:01:56,000 --> 02:02:01,040
Speaker 1: Sunday's game. Patrick Mahomes, according to head coach Andy took

2315
02:02:01,240 --> 02:02:04,960
Speaker 1: all the snaps in practice with the first team offense.

2316
02:02:05,400 --> 02:02:09,040
Speaker 1: His quote, he feels good. He does remain in the

2317
02:02:09,120 --> 02:02:14,160
Speaker 1: concussion protocol, so he is presumably in step four of

2318
02:02:14,240 --> 02:02:17,240
Speaker 1: the five step return to participation protocol that the league

2319
02:02:17,320 --> 02:02:22,440
Speaker 1: has in place. And so what Andy Reid did say

2320
02:02:23,440 --> 02:02:25,840
Speaker 1: was that tomorrow will be a big day. And the

2321
02:02:25,920 --> 02:02:30,160
Speaker 1: reason why is after all of this activity on the

2322
02:02:30,200 --> 02:02:33,800
Speaker 1: practice field today, he will get another test tomorrow when

2323
02:02:33,840 --> 02:02:35,960
Speaker 1: he comes in the door and they will have to

2324
02:02:36,040 --> 02:02:39,560
Speaker 1: see if any of his symptoms from last weekend return.

2325
02:02:39,920 --> 02:02:41,960
Speaker 1: If he's back to his baseline and he doesn't move

2326
02:02:42,040 --> 02:02:44,240
Speaker 1: and he feels fine, he's one hundred percent ago, and

2327
02:02:44,280 --> 02:02:47,200
Speaker 1: that he's in this will be at stage four. He's

2328
02:02:47,240 --> 02:02:50,360
Speaker 1: in step four right now. Five is full medical clear

2329
02:02:50,480 --> 02:02:53,720
Speaker 1: right goodbye. So so we're at Wednesday and he's already

2330
02:02:53,720 --> 02:02:56,160
Speaker 1: at step four, which is the same thing that happened

2331
02:02:56,200 --> 02:02:58,680
Speaker 1: to Josh Allen last year. For those that may have forgotten,

2332
02:02:59,000 --> 02:03:01,840
Speaker 1: Josh Allen actually gets a real concussion in Week four

2333
02:03:02,440 --> 02:03:06,200
Speaker 1: against the New England Patriots, doesn't finish the game, but

2334
02:03:06,360 --> 02:03:09,400
Speaker 1: then the following Wednesday, the first day of the practice field,

2335
02:03:09,440 --> 02:03:13,400
Speaker 1: he's participating in practice, albeit on a limited basis. He

2336
02:03:13,440 --> 02:03:15,520
Speaker 1: didn't take every snap that day, but he was already

2337
02:03:15,560 --> 02:03:18,920
Speaker 1: in Stage four of the return to concussion protocol on

2338
02:03:19,000 --> 02:03:22,520
Speaker 1: a Wednesday as well, so this is not unprecedented the

2339
02:03:22,600 --> 02:03:26,160
Speaker 1: step that Patrick Mahomes took today. Clyde Edwards a Laire

2340
02:03:26,280 --> 02:03:29,440
Speaker 1: also participated in practice, although we do not know to

2341
02:03:29,600 --> 02:03:32,800
Speaker 1: what level of participation he was. He's coming back from

2342
02:03:32,880 --> 02:03:36,000
Speaker 1: hip and ankle problems, did not play last week in

2343
02:03:36,040 --> 02:03:38,920
Speaker 1: the playoffs, but the anticipation was that he would be

2344
02:03:39,000 --> 02:03:41,720
Speaker 1: healthy enough to do so this week, so that's something

2345
02:03:41,800 --> 02:03:44,520
Speaker 1: to keep an eye on. Sammy Watkins also in practice.

2346
02:03:44,880 --> 02:03:47,600
Speaker 1: So we'll get the injury report from Kansas City probably

2347
02:03:47,600 --> 02:03:49,800
Speaker 1: a little bit later in the afternoon, knowing there an

2348
02:03:49,840 --> 02:03:52,560
Speaker 1: hour behind us on the clock, and we are still

2349
02:03:52,600 --> 02:03:56,960
Speaker 1: awaiting the official injury report from the Bills, which usually

2350
02:03:57,040 --> 02:04:00,600
Speaker 1: comes out around three three fifteen in the afternoon. We'll

2351
02:04:00,640 --> 02:04:03,280
Speaker 1: wait for that, but we do know that Gabriel Davis

2352
02:04:03,520 --> 02:04:06,040
Speaker 1: with the ankle injury, and Vernon Butler, the defensive tackle,

2353
02:04:06,120 --> 02:04:09,080
Speaker 1: did not practice today. So that's kind of where we're

2354
02:04:09,120 --> 02:04:12,880
Speaker 1: at so the world. So the anticipation that Patrick Mahomes

2355
02:04:12,960 --> 02:04:17,200
Speaker 1: will play, I think was only strengthened by today's practice report. Right,

2356
02:04:17,640 --> 02:04:21,200
Speaker 1: And yeah, we have to report on it, but most

2357
02:04:21,280 --> 02:04:24,400
Speaker 1: of it is formality. I think at this point, Yes,

2358
02:04:24,480 --> 02:04:26,280
Speaker 1: I think there's no question Pat Mahomes is going to

2359
02:04:26,280 --> 02:04:28,080
Speaker 1: be the quarterback the Chiefs on Sunday, and there's no

2360
02:04:30,040 --> 02:04:33,200
Speaker 1: reason to believe that the concussion or the concussion protocol

2361
02:04:33,280 --> 02:04:35,200
Speaker 1: is going to go anything but smoothly for him and

2362
02:04:35,280 --> 02:04:38,560
Speaker 1: his transition back on the field. We were talking to

2363
02:04:38,800 --> 02:04:42,040
Speaker 1: his other injury, which is a turf toe injury or

2364
02:04:42,080 --> 02:04:45,880
Speaker 1: a toe injury that hobbled him greatly during the Cleveland game,

2365
02:04:46,160 --> 02:04:48,360
Speaker 1: is a bigger concern to you and I for him

2366
02:04:48,440 --> 02:04:50,560
Speaker 1: and his will being his ability to play normally. He

2367
02:04:50,720 --> 02:04:54,360
Speaker 1: was limping significantly during that game and and you know

2368
02:04:54,480 --> 02:04:59,600
Speaker 1: that doesn't just go away now. He certainly could, you know,

2369
02:05:00,800 --> 02:05:04,040
Speaker 1: could get some some medication on that that would help it.

2370
02:05:04,240 --> 02:05:09,000
Speaker 1: But you know, you're you're going down. That's a that's

2371
02:05:09,040 --> 02:05:13,440
Speaker 1: a slippery slope, right, you know. So we'll see. But yeah,

2372
02:05:13,480 --> 02:05:15,520
Speaker 1: Pat Mahomes gonna be taking snaps for the Chiefs. It's

2373
02:05:15,520 --> 02:05:17,200
Speaker 1: going to be on the same grass field that they

2374
02:05:17,280 --> 02:05:21,520
Speaker 1: played on last week against Cleveland, and I'm all about it.

2375
02:05:21,560 --> 02:05:23,640
Speaker 1: I thought it's awesome. I'm glad the Chiefs got their

2376
02:05:23,680 --> 02:05:27,360
Speaker 1: guy in there, and at this point of the season,

2377
02:05:27,400 --> 02:05:30,000
Speaker 1: I think everybody's dragging around some aches and pains. I'm

2378
02:05:30,040 --> 02:05:31,600
Speaker 1: just glad Pat Mahomes is going to have all his

2379
02:05:31,680 --> 02:05:34,280
Speaker 1: faculties and at least whatever physical capability he brings to

2380
02:05:34,320 --> 02:05:38,000
Speaker 1: the table, which you're significant anyway. There is also news

2381
02:05:38,320 --> 02:05:43,400
Speaker 1: on the awards for twenty twenty UM. It looks as

2382
02:05:43,480 --> 02:05:46,680
Speaker 1: though Derrick Henry has been named NFL Offensive Player of

2383
02:05:46,720 --> 02:05:49,000
Speaker 1: the Years. I saw Diana Rassini tweeting that it was

2384
02:05:49,040 --> 02:05:52,240
Speaker 1: just on our show yesterday and Henry was a guy

2385
02:05:52,320 --> 02:05:54,480
Speaker 1: that was in the running for league MVP, as we know,

2386
02:05:55,840 --> 02:05:58,760
Speaker 1: very often a guy that some feel are deserving but

2387
02:05:59,240 --> 02:06:02,600
Speaker 1: has candidates that have outshined him. This is usually the

2388
02:06:03,160 --> 02:06:06,360
Speaker 1: award that they're handed almost as a consolation prize offensive

2389
02:06:06,400 --> 02:06:08,840
Speaker 1: Player of the Year. I was hopeful that Josh might

2390
02:06:08,880 --> 02:06:10,720
Speaker 1: be in the running for Offensive Player of the Year,

2391
02:06:11,080 --> 02:06:14,440
Speaker 1: knowing the MVP is likely to go to Aaron Rodgers,

2392
02:06:14,560 --> 02:06:17,440
Speaker 1: but that's off the table now, it seems, with Derrick

2393
02:06:17,480 --> 02:06:20,320
Speaker 1: Henry getting it, and understandably so. I mean, the eight

2394
02:06:20,440 --> 02:06:22,360
Speaker 1: player in the NFL history to run for two thousand

2395
02:06:22,440 --> 02:06:25,800
Speaker 1: yards in a seasons. The MVP is the Quarterback award

2396
02:06:25,960 --> 02:06:29,160
Speaker 1: and the offensive which they should probably change that, right

2397
02:06:30,160 --> 02:06:32,560
Speaker 1: they well, they didn't. It's not set in stone. I mean,

2398
02:06:32,600 --> 02:06:34,640
Speaker 1: I'm just saying it's that should be like a designated

2399
02:06:34,680 --> 02:06:39,120
Speaker 1: award for quarterbacks. You would also, yeah, and then from

2400
02:06:39,160 --> 02:06:42,640
Speaker 1: there have the Offensive Player of the Year and stipulate

2401
02:06:42,720 --> 02:06:45,320
Speaker 1: that it can't be a quarterback, you know, that thereby

2402
02:06:45,400 --> 02:06:48,600
Speaker 1: opening the door to every other offensive player besides quarterbacks,

2403
02:06:48,880 --> 02:06:51,240
Speaker 1: you know, and then you'd have people in the running

2404
02:06:51,280 --> 02:06:54,880
Speaker 1: like Stefan Diggs for example, along with Derek Henry and

2405
02:06:55,040 --> 02:06:58,240
Speaker 1: other non quarterbacks who had special seasons. That would be

2406
02:06:58,680 --> 02:07:00,560
Speaker 1: an easy way to fix that, I would think. So,

2407
02:07:01,520 --> 02:07:07,240
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's uh, you can debate that spose

2408
02:07:07,840 --> 02:07:09,960
Speaker 1: still with the behest of the voters anyway, no matter what,

2409
02:07:10,080 --> 02:07:15,800
Speaker 1: We've got some NFL analysts from NFL Network who have

2410
02:07:15,920 --> 02:07:20,000
Speaker 1: already put in their playoff picks for the AFC title game,

2411
02:07:20,880 --> 02:07:24,080
Speaker 1: and I don't think too many people are going to

2412
02:07:24,160 --> 02:07:28,120
Speaker 1: be happy with some of these picks. So Cynthia Freeland

2413
02:07:28,240 --> 02:07:32,320
Speaker 1: went Chiefs thirty to twenty five, Maurice Jones Drew went

2414
02:07:32,400 --> 02:07:36,440
Speaker 1: thirty three twenty Chiefs. Greg Rosenthal from NFL dot Com

2415
02:07:36,520 --> 02:07:40,120
Speaker 1: when twenty seven, twenty three chiefs. Adam Rank another writer

2416
02:07:40,240 --> 02:07:43,640
Speaker 1: thirty five thirty one chiefs, Nick Shook thirty one, twenty

2417
02:07:43,680 --> 02:07:48,200
Speaker 1: six chiefs, Daniel Jeremiah thirty eight, twenty eight Chiefs, Dan

2418
02:07:48,360 --> 02:07:52,760
Speaker 1: Hansas thirty one thirty chiefs. The only ones that picked

2419
02:07:52,800 --> 02:07:57,520
Speaker 1: the Bills were Mark Sessler fifty nine fifty six in

2420
02:07:57,720 --> 02:08:02,720
Speaker 1: double overtime, with that be the end of the universe,

2421
02:08:02,920 --> 02:08:07,440
Speaker 1: my god, fifty nine fifty six and double ot that

2422
02:08:07,520 --> 02:08:10,760
Speaker 1: would be like the best game ever played. Could you

2423
02:08:10,880 --> 02:08:14,600
Speaker 1: imagine that? Ye? Plus, he's got the Bills winning, So

2424
02:08:14,720 --> 02:08:17,160
Speaker 1: I'm I'd sign up for that double overtime. I mean

2425
02:08:17,200 --> 02:08:21,160
Speaker 1: we'd be exhausted, but could you imagine that? You'd be

2426
02:08:21,240 --> 02:08:23,480
Speaker 1: on the floor by then? You wouldn't make it through

2427
02:08:23,560 --> 02:08:27,760
Speaker 1: that game. You'd have three heart attacks. Um, Murph would beat.

2428
02:08:27,840 --> 02:08:31,440
Speaker 1: Murph would sound like a you know, grizzle, like his voice,

2429
02:08:31,600 --> 02:08:34,760
Speaker 1: Oh my god, he'd be gravel right. Uh. And then

2430
02:08:34,960 --> 02:08:37,880
Speaker 1: I forgive me, I'm only getting the first initial in

2431
02:08:38,000 --> 02:08:40,880
Speaker 1: last names here. So m Grant also picked the Bills

2432
02:08:41,480 --> 02:08:46,040
Speaker 1: thirty three thirty. Um, so let me see that's out

2433
02:08:46,080 --> 02:08:52,320
Speaker 1: of ten NFL dot Com Slash NFL Network playoff expert picks.

2434
02:08:53,280 --> 02:08:56,920
Speaker 1: Only two out of the ten picked the Bills, So

2435
02:08:57,680 --> 02:09:02,440
Speaker 1: so there it is officially underdogs. So there's that. And

2436
02:09:03,040 --> 02:09:06,760
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody anticipated it would be all that different.

2437
02:09:08,920 --> 02:09:14,000
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers, Steve obviously retiring today, announcing his retirement today

2438
02:09:14,680 --> 02:09:24,560
Speaker 1: after seventeen solid seasons in the NFL. First question, hall

2439
02:09:24,640 --> 02:09:28,920
Speaker 1: of Famer yes or no? Yes? And and a Hall

2440
02:09:28,960 --> 02:09:33,600
Speaker 1: of Famer because what he played for a incredibly inept

2441
02:09:33,960 --> 02:09:36,320
Speaker 1: organization and was at the top of the It was

2442
02:09:36,360 --> 02:09:39,160
Speaker 1: the top of his game year after year. Eight Pro Bowls,

2443
02:09:40,720 --> 02:09:42,880
Speaker 1: never won the big one. But I would submit this,

2444
02:09:43,360 --> 02:09:45,440
Speaker 1: this is what you if you're presenting the case for

2445
02:09:45,520 --> 02:09:48,920
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers to the Hall of Fame selectors. The way

2446
02:09:48,960 --> 02:09:51,160
Speaker 1: I would do it is, I would say, guy went

2447
02:09:51,200 --> 02:09:53,360
Speaker 1: to eight Pro Bowls. I don't know what his winning

2448
02:09:53,360 --> 02:09:56,240
Speaker 1: percentage was, he did play in one AFC title game lost.

2449
02:09:57,400 --> 02:10:01,400
Speaker 1: I would submit to them the man aid during the

2450
02:10:01,640 --> 02:10:06,560
Speaker 1: Manning Brady era in the AFC. It's true. I mean,

2451
02:10:06,720 --> 02:10:09,320
Speaker 1: do you need to say anything else? I don't know

2452
02:10:09,360 --> 02:10:14,880
Speaker 1: if you do. Manning Brady Roethlisberger, Well right so, but

2453
02:10:15,000 --> 02:10:17,000
Speaker 1: chiefly those two guys, I mean, that would be your

2454
02:10:17,360 --> 02:10:19,920
Speaker 1: That would be what you submit to the voters. When

2455
02:10:20,120 --> 02:10:22,960
Speaker 1: people are doubting whether Philip Rivers is Hall of Fame

2456
02:10:23,000 --> 02:10:24,800
Speaker 1: worth it, I mean, and his final season the league,

2457
02:10:24,800 --> 02:10:27,440
Speaker 1: he throws for almost forty two hundred yards. I'm yeah,

2458
02:10:27,520 --> 02:10:31,000
Speaker 1: he's a tremendously gifted player. He got the most out

2459
02:10:31,040 --> 02:10:33,640
Speaker 1: of his career. He was, like I say, he was

2460
02:10:33,680 --> 02:10:38,600
Speaker 1: with a perennial losing franchise that moved and couldn't get there,

2461
02:10:39,360 --> 02:10:43,040
Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, And perhaps the more interesting question you

2462
02:10:43,080 --> 02:10:45,840
Speaker 1: overcome obstacles like that with the actual company that you're

2463
02:10:45,880 --> 02:10:48,960
Speaker 1: working for. That says something about how good you were.

2464
02:10:49,160 --> 02:10:52,240
Speaker 1: And maybe the more operative question going forward is where

2465
02:10:52,280 --> 02:10:54,600
Speaker 1: do the Colts go from here at the quarterback position.

2466
02:10:55,400 --> 02:10:58,680
Speaker 1: That that'll be a task for Chris Pallard and Frank Wright.

2467
02:10:58,760 --> 02:11:01,920
Speaker 1: I just this offseason Shawn Watson or Carson while they're

2468
02:11:01,960 --> 02:11:03,720
Speaker 1: not getting him there, there's no way the Texans are

2469
02:11:03,760 --> 02:11:06,560
Speaker 1: trading him within the division. That would be Oh my god,

2470
02:11:06,680 --> 02:11:12,800
Speaker 1: no way, no way, that, no, no way. I don't

2471
02:11:12,840 --> 02:11:16,840
Speaker 1: think so, I don't think so break time for us, Steve,

2472
02:11:16,920 --> 02:11:19,560
Speaker 1: and you can knock me over with a feather if

2473
02:11:19,600 --> 02:11:22,600
Speaker 1: that happens. We got a break here, but we'll be

2474
02:11:22,680 --> 02:11:24,680
Speaker 1: back to close it up, You're on One Bill's Live,

2475
02:11:24,760 --> 02:11:27,240
Speaker 1: presented by Kalid to Health. This is Buffalo Bills Radio

2476
02:11:43,200 --> 02:11:46,840
Speaker 1: Time for what have we learned? Brought to you by Skyworks,

2477
02:11:46,880 --> 02:11:50,720
Speaker 1: the official construction equipment rental company of the Buffalo Bills.

2478
02:11:51,320 --> 02:11:53,640
Speaker 1: I think, for the most part, Steve, we got the

2479
02:11:53,720 --> 02:11:56,760
Speaker 1: sense from the players today that they're treating this very

2480
02:11:56,840 --> 02:11:59,680
Speaker 1: much like just another game. And we also got word

2481
02:12:00,200 --> 02:12:04,960
Speaker 1: that Tredavious White, in passing the zoom press conference off

2482
02:12:05,000 --> 02:12:08,800
Speaker 1: to Stefon Diggs, gave him a rousing introduction, calling him

2483
02:12:08,840 --> 02:12:11,920
Speaker 1: the Rolls Royce drive in private jet flying first team

2484
02:12:12,000 --> 02:12:16,040
Speaker 1: all pro Stefan Diggs. So, I think it's safe to

2485
02:12:16,080 --> 02:12:19,800
Speaker 1: say the guys are loose this week. Yeah, I think that. Yeah.

2486
02:12:19,840 --> 02:12:22,880
Speaker 1: I think they're having an absolute blast and and God

2487
02:12:22,920 --> 02:12:24,880
Speaker 1: bless them, you know, I hope they hope they enjoy

2488
02:12:24,960 --> 02:12:29,240
Speaker 1: every minute of it. These these like like brand Dables said,

2489
02:12:29,280 --> 02:12:31,320
Speaker 1: these games are hard to get into. Enjoy it while

2490
02:12:31,320 --> 02:12:32,960
Speaker 1: you can, because you never know if you ever reached

2491
02:12:32,960 --> 02:12:35,600
Speaker 1: another one. It's it's awesome. And I and I said

2492
02:12:35,600 --> 02:12:40,280
Speaker 1: it yesterday, Bills have a reason to be loose. The

2493
02:12:40,440 --> 02:12:43,480
Speaker 1: Chiefs are I just read off eight out of ten

2494
02:12:43,560 --> 02:12:46,520
Speaker 1: picks from the NFL network. They're all picking the Chiefs

2495
02:12:46,640 --> 02:12:48,680
Speaker 1: and the pressure is on them to win, and the

2496
02:12:48,960 --> 02:12:50,840
Speaker 1: and the ones that picked the Bills are like thirty

2497
02:12:50,880 --> 02:12:54,520
Speaker 1: one double overtime. Right, you're barely gonna win and you're

2498
02:12:54,520 --> 02:12:57,120
Speaker 1: gonna get nineteen breaks. Yeah, okay, all right, thanks, So

2499
02:12:57,720 --> 02:13:01,240
Speaker 1: I think you're going in there. It was. And also

2500
02:13:01,280 --> 02:13:02,880
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, I don't know if you said this, I

2501
02:13:02,960 --> 02:13:06,600
Speaker 1: think you did that. The that the Chiefs downtown Kansas

2502
02:13:06,640 --> 02:13:08,920
Speaker 1: City are starting to make plans for Super Bowl parade.

2503

2504

Speaker 1: Bowl Championship parade has already been planned in Kansas City, Missouri.

2505
02:13:14,520 --> 02:13:16,560
Speaker 1: Think that should be mentioned somewhere in the locker room

2506
02:13:16,640 --> 02:13:19,080
Speaker 1: this week. Yeah, that's the Bill's locker room, that is.

2507
02:13:19,200 --> 02:13:20,640
Speaker 1: And I get it. You gotta get out ahead of

2508
02:13:20,680 --> 02:13:22,440
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. You don't just quit one of

2509
02:13:22,480 --> 02:13:25,440
Speaker 1: those things together. But you don't let that leave. You

2510
02:13:25,440 --> 02:13:29,280
Speaker 1: don't want that. Yeah, yeah, you know, I know they

2511
