1
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 1: At a Steve Tasker who has been all over the fields.

2
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

3
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:18,639
Speaker 1: player for you, Steve, Steve a blimp. We're not even

4
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 1: in the straded beer of normalcy here. All right, let's

5
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 1: kick off week fifteen. Here, it's Tuesday, Chris Brown along

6
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 1: with Maddy Gleab here on One Bill's Live Tuesday edition.

7
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: Steve is out of town. He'll be back tomorrow. And

8
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 1: I know. I thank you yesterday Maddy for helping us out.

9
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:42,599
Speaker 1: We appreciate it here again today, so thanks again. Um.

10
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 1: We got to turn the page. We gotta turn the

11
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 1: page from Monday night, we really do, or Monday night

12
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 1: Sunday afternoon. I don't I don't want to talk about

13
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 1: refs anymore. I don't want to talk about the comeback

14
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 1: coming up short anymore. I just want to move on.

15
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 1: Let's talk a lot of care line it today. How

16
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: does that sound? That sounds great to me because I

17
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 1: don't want to complain anymore about the REVS. I am

18
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: done with it. I may not be over it, okay.

19
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: I feel everybody out there who is just as disappointed

20
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 1: as we are. But it's time to turn the page.

21
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: Just like the team is turning the page ont of

22
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers this week. I spend all morning digging

23
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 1: into the stats, so Brownie, I know you have too,

24
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 1: so we can kind of start to lay out the

25
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,320
Speaker 1: picture of what this game is going to look like today. Yeah,

26
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 1: and we will do some of that. We should bring

27
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 1: up the news and notes of the day for those

28
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: of you living under a rock who do not know yet.

29
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: Josh Allen is day to day with a sprained foot,

30
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: and coach expressed optimism that he would have a chance

31
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: to play on Sunday. And it's funny, mat because I

32
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: was rolling this around in my head saying to myself,

33
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: if he's iffy come the end of the week, do

34
00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: you play him or do you let him get hell

35
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: for the all important New England game. But right now,

36
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 1: each of these last four games is important. At seven

37
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: and six, with where they are, you, if he can play,

38
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: he's got to play, right yeah, one hundred percent. I

39
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: mean right now? What they're the seventh seeds, so they're

40
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: the last team in in the AFC, and they still

41
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: have a chance to add the division if they beat

42
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 1: the Patriots and beat the Jets to end the season.

43
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:28,119
Speaker 1: So it's hard to put more importance on one game

44
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: than another as we look at the rest of the

45
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 1: season here and knowing the type of quarterback that we

46
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: have in Josh Allen, if they give him even a

47
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: slight green light, Josh Allen is going to play. This

48
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 1: is a competitive guy. He does not want to sit

49
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: on the sidelines and watch his team play. If there's

50
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 1: a chance that he can be out there, this guy's

51
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 1: going to do everything he can to get ready for Sunday.

52
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 1: There is. The news is not as good for Emmanuel Sanders.

53
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: He was labeled as week to week by coach McDermott.

54
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:03,639
Speaker 1: And somebody gets that designation, it usually means they're going

55
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: to miss the next game. At least that's been the

56
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: history when the week to week designation is given to

57
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: a player. He's got a spraying knee, as we all know,

58
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 1: he left the game early last week. Gabriel Davis came

59
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 1: in performed admirably in his absence, and not that people

60
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 1: wanted to see Emmanuel Sanders get hurt, but people are

61
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: excited about the prospect of Gabriel Davis being one of

62
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: the top three wideouts in their eleven personnel going out

63
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: there this week. Steve and I have been talking about

64
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: it for weeks now that he needed to get on

65
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: the field more. It's a shame that it comes at

66
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: the expense of Emmanuel Sanders suffering an injury. But every

67
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: time he's on the field, good things happen, whether he's

68
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: blocking in the run game or finding a way to

69
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: the end zone and putting points on the board for

70
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 1: this team. If there's a position group that has someone

71
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: go down, I don't want any injuries on this team,

72
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: but having Emmanuel Sanders or whatever wide receiver were to

73
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: go down, I think this is the position group you

74
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: feel really good about the next man up. Not that

75
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: we don't have depth at all on this team. We

76
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: have depth in a lot of areas, but wide receiver

77
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: is one of our deepest position groups. And we've seen

78
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: what Gabriel Davis has done when the ball has been

79
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: given to him, when it's been put in his hands.

80
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 1: That fourth and four fourth down conversion by him was electric.

81
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: Was what the Bills needed on offense to help them

82
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: get into overtime. So I think this entire team feels

83
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: really confident about him. And Sean McDermott said it as

84
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 1: well yesterday when we heard from him, he was very

85
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: pleased with how Gabe Davis was rolled into the offense

86
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,119
Speaker 1: and what he was able to do when his number

87
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 1: was called. Yeah, we will get some comments from head

88
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 1: coach Sean McDermott and the coordinators Brian Dable and Leslie

89
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 1: Frazier a little bit later on in the show, made

90
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: themselves available to the media late yesterday afternoon, and as

91
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 1: we usually do on Tuesdays, we will share with you

92
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 1: some of their more notable comments about where they are

93
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: coming off the heels of the overtime lost to Tampa

94
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 1: Bay and looking ahead to Carolina. That'll be probably about

95
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: twenty five minutes from now. We'll get to some of

96
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 1: those comments and pass them along to you the Big

97
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 1: League News Maddie. A record thirty six players put on

98
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: COVID reserve Monday league wide. The Bills had one of

99
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:23,919
Speaker 1: their own in linebacker Tyrrel Dotson, and now the NFL

100
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: is requiring booster shots for all Tier one and two

101
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 1: NFL employees by December twenty seventh. I don't think this

102
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: is a surprise move by the league in light of

103
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: where things are headed going into the colder months. People

104
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: indoors more often, and the omicron variant already kind of

105
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: spreading to thirty three states in this country. So I think,

106
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 1: coming off the heels of Thanksgiving and an increase in

107
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: cases there, I don't think they even want to entertain

108
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 1: any of that stuff trickling in. But I realize it's

109
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: got to be collectively bargain, Maddie. But the players aren't

110
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 1: part of this initiative that the league is imposing. Yeah,

111
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,679
Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see when the players are required

112
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: to get that booster shot as well, because if you're

113
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: trying to keep everybody protected and safe, then the players

114
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: need to be wrapped into that conversation as well. Just

115
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: asking tier one and Tier two employees to get the

116
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,479
Speaker 1: booster as a step in the right direction, but the

117
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: players are also going to have to get it at

118
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: some point if that's what the CBA and the NFL

119
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: agree upon. I'm in Tier two this year, and a

120
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 1: lot of us have already gotten our booster shot. So

121
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 1: that's a good thing, is I would say inside our building,

122
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 1: most people who are Tier one and Tier two status

123
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 1: have already gone ahead and done that since it was

124
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 1: made available for everybody to do a couple weeks back. Yeah,

125
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 1: and we should mention two. With Tyrell Dootson on the

126
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 1: COVID reserve list, so too is linebacker AJ Kleine. I

127
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:56,159
Speaker 1: believe the tenth day for him will be Wednesday, you know,

128
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 1: when you hope, provided he's not still showing symptoms or

129
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: suffering from the effect of COD that he can come

130
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,600
Speaker 1: off the COVID reserve list. But that is very much

131
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: a weight end. See so if for some reason both

132
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: of those linebackers are not available come the end of

133
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: the week, then you could be in a situation where

134
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 1: Joe Giles Harris is brought up from the practice squad

135
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: again as he has been the last week or so.

136
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 1: With AJ Klein on the COVID reserve list, may have

137
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 1: to bring a second linebacker up in fact and see

138
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: where that goes. So that's something we're gonna have to

139
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: keep an eye on as the week on folds. The

140
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns got placed in advanced COVID protocols today they're

141
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 1: doing all their meetings virtually, so you know, as we've

142
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: always said, the virus kind of sets the agenda and

143
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 1: everybody else has to react to it. And that's what

144
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: the league's doing right now. And I hate to say it,

145
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: but I don't think the Browns are gonna be the

146
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 1: last team that's gonna have to step into advanced protocols

147
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: between now and the end of the regular season. Yeah,

148
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: I know with this new variant. I mean, good thing

149
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 1: that every but he already has a workplace set. They

150
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: know how to go online and work from home if

151
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: they need to go virtual since we all did it

152
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: last season, especially these teams. But at this point, I

153
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 1: think the NFL is hoping let's just get the season

154
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 1: in before anything else pops up, because this is definitely

155
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 1: something that could rain on some people's parades. And good

156
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: thing about Tyrell Dodson is he did post on Twitter

157
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 1: yesterday and said that he is asymptomatic and he is

158
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 1: hoping to have a couple negative tests and if so,

159
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 1: he said he's hopeful that he can play on Sunday. Yeah,

160
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: so he's not ruled out yet due to his status.

161
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:41,599
Speaker 1: So that's good. And you know, we talk about the

162
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 1: NFL dealing with this stuff. I know the NBA has

163
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 1: had to cancel a couple of games, a couple of

164
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 1: regular season or postpone them. I guess I should say

165
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: because of some COVID outbreaks with some of their rosters.

166
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 1: I know in hockey, the New York Islanders had to

167
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 1: postpone a couple of games because they had eleven players

168
00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 1: come up COVID positive. So yeah, it's it's something that

169
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 1: a lot of the leagues are still dealing with and

170
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: will probably continue to deal with, certainly through the winter months.

171
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 1: The broadcast team on television for Sunday's game, which by

172
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,679
Speaker 1: the way, is a Fox game. I know a lot

173
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 1: of Bills fans are used to seeing the Bills on CBS,

174
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:21,439
Speaker 1: this is a Fox Network game. Kenny Albert, former NFL

175
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 1: linebacker Jonathan Vilma, and Lindsay's Arniac will be on the

176
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: sidelines for this Fox Sunday broadcast of the Bills and

177
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: the Panthers. It was interesting, Mattie. I saw on Twitter

178
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: somebody brought up the last time the Bills and Panthers

179
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: played in this stadium, and it was twenty thirteen. EJ.

180
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 1: Manuel's rookie year, Week two, and with two seconds left,

181
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 1: he threw a game tying touchdown past to Stevie Johnson

182
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: and then Dan Carver to put the extra point up

183
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: and through growd was going nuts at the end. Of

184
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 1: that game. It was EJ. Manuel's second career game, and

185
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 1: people are like, oh, this guy's on his way, and

186
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:04,719
Speaker 1: as we know, that did not happen. But it was

187
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 1: still cool anyway, and I know a lot of people

188
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 1: remember that game. A lot of people love Stevie also,

189
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 1: So just kind of interesting that it's been that long.

190
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: But you know the rotational schedule, it's every eight years.

191
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 1: I'm sure nobody wants a nail biting finish like that

192
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: on Sunday. They would certainly take a more comfortable victory instead.

193
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 1: And this is a very interesting team, Mannie, because they

194
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,559
Speaker 1: started three and zero. Everybody's like, oh, Matt Rule, he's

195
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: got it together, Sam Darnold, blah blah blah. And then

196
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 1: they lose eight of their last ten, including the last

197
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 1: three in a row. They have a four game losing

198
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 1: streak and now a three game losing streak. It's it's

199
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 1: the wheels have fallen off down there. Yeah, it's tough.

200
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 1: It seemed like this team came out with the bang,

201
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,439
Speaker 1: especially on defense, and they still rank high in a

202
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: lot of defensive categories. But what stood out about this

203
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 1: team the beginning was their defense, and hey, could Sam

204
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,719
Speaker 1: Darnold kind of revive his career with this team and

205
00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:00,200
Speaker 1: the pieces that he was given, and the answers, oh,

206
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 1: at least for this year because he's he's on IR

207
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 1: and not playing. So now they've gone to Cam Newton

208
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 1: and p J Walker, who Matt Rule said on Monday

209
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: that we could see both of them. He said, I'm

210
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,199
Speaker 1: not I'm not gonna I'm not gonna tip my hand

211
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 1: to anything because I want the Buffalo Bills to prepare

212
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 1: for both quarterbacks. So the Bills are going to be

213
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 1: getting ready for both guys. And this is an offense

214
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 1: for the Panthers that has struggled. They're averaging under twenty

215
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 1: points a game, so they haven't had points come easily,

216
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 1: and they've also turned the ball over at a very

217
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 1: high rate. So one thing that I'll be looking at

218
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 1: is we know the Buffalo Bills are high in terms

219
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 1: of takeaways, but in the last four games, the Buffalo

220
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 1: Bills only have two takeaways. So hopefully they can get

221
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: back to multiple takeaways a game in this one. Yeah,

222
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 1: Leslie Fraser addressed that yesterday afternoon when he was asked

223
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: about that, and they do have to step it up,

224
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: and we heard Micah Hyde and Jordan Poor. You talk

225
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 1: about it after the game Sunday night. The interesting thing

226
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 1: about the quarterback situation in Carolina, Matt he was Sam

227
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 1: Darnold was placed on injured reserve and they said he, oh,

228
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: he'd be out at least four weeks. Well we're at

229
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 1: four weeks, but there doesn't seem to be any indication

230
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 1: that he's even remotely ready. For those that don't remember,

231
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 1: he suffered a fracture of his shoulder blade on his

232
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: right shoulder and got put on IR back on November twelfth,

233
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: so this would be about four weeks now, which was

234
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 1: the low end of the range that he was anticipated

235
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 1: to be out. Obviously, after three games, you're on IR,

236
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 1: you're eligible to come back. But it doesn't sound like

237
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:41,319
Speaker 1: physically he's even part of the conversation for Matt Rule.

238
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's basically p J. Walker and Cam Newton,

239
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: and last week Newton got seventy five percent of the snaps,

240
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 1: Walker got twenty five percent. I would anticipate probably a

241
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 1: similar breakdown. I don't know. It's you're kind of caught

242
00:12:58,120 --> 00:12:59,959
Speaker 1: between a rock and a hard place if you're Matt Rule,

243
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 1: because yes, you want to win because at six and seven,

244
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 1: they're still in the race in the NFCS. You're like,

245
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: all right, let's play the veteran Cam Newton. But he

246
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 1: has limitations, so you're like, Wow, p J. Walker gives

247
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 1: us a little more maybe a little more mobility. It

248
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 1: can't be an easy place to be. It's not an

249
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 1: easy seat to be in. I mean, it's good that

250
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:22,959
Speaker 1: they're still in the hunt, but what are you doing

251
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 1: at quarterback? Yeah? I think it's a it's a tough

252
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 1: decision to make. I mean, I would assume, you know,

253
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 1: they start with Cam Newton, as Matt Rule kind of

254
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 1: alluded to in his press conference, and then they go

255
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: from there. If Cam Newton is having some set, some success,

256
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 1: maybe they leave him in. But PJ. Walker has been

257
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 1: has been getting some time at quarterback. There's just one

258
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 1: game since Sam Darnold went on IR that Cam Newton

259
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 1: played the entire game himself and p J. Walker didn't

260
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 1: get any snaps. So I would guess that those two

261
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: will will still share some of the load. How much,

262
00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 1: I guess we'll see on Sunday afternoon. Yeah. And the

263
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,960
Speaker 1: other interesting thing to keep an eye on is when

264
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 1: the Carolina injury report comes out, and that's because they're

265
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 1: leading wide receiver. DJ Moore has a hamstring injury and

266
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 1: he was listed as day to day. They anticipate he

267
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 1: will be limited in practice. Hamstrings are tough, I mean,

268
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 1: especially for high impact a lot of running, a lot

269
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 1: of stop and start positions, you know, like corner and

270
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 1: wide receiver safety where you have to break cut, get

271
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 1: in and out because it's the acceleration that causes problems

272
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: for hamstring injuries. So I don't know. They don't have

273
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 1: him in an offense that's got enough problems, let alone

274
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 1: a new play caller after they fired Joe Brady a

275
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago. I mean this, we already said

276
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 1: the wheels are off in terms of wins and losses,

277
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 1: but at the same time they're still in the NFC race.

278
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 1: I just don't know if Dj Moore is gonna be

279
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 1: able to drag himself out there, depending on the severity

280
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 1: of the hamstring injury. Yeah, and if it's not Dj Moore,

281
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 1: you're looking at Robbie Anderson as your go to guy

282
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 1: who has three hundred and seventy two receiving yards, and

283
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: then Amira Abdullah and Chubba Hubbard so he's got four

284
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 1: and sixty yards on the ground. They're decimated. I was

285
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 1: looking up, Okay, who are they throwing the ball to

286
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 1: right now? Who's getting yards? And it's a bunch of

287
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 1: no name guys. Does this mean they're gonna be no

288
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 1: name guys forever? No? But it hasn't been easy for

289
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers on offense this season. When you look

290
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 1: into the stats, when you look at what they've been

291
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 1: able to do, it's just been tough. I feel bad

292
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 1: for this group almost. Yeah. Sometimes you know, you have

293
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 1: these seasons where you're just bit by the injury bugg

294
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 1: and it just doesn't stop from start to finish. But

295
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 1: they're still in the race. That's the crazy thing. And

296
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 1: the NFC got even more tightly packed even at the

297
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 1: top with the Rams beating Arizona last night on Monday

298
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 1: Night Football. So yeah, it's I think the NFL has

299
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 1: officially achieved what it has wanted all along, just a

300
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 1: mashup of teams tightly packed together in both conferences. They

301
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 1: have achieved unequivocal parody in this league, and I think

302
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 1: I don't think they could be happier with where it is,

303
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 1: which is a conversation that I'm interested in having with

304
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 1: Kyle Brandt, who will be joining us in the second

305
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 1: hour of the program. Yes, we will go over as

306
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 1: hype speech leading into the Tampa Bay game, which was

307
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 1: fantastic and who knows it almost pushed him over the

308
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 1: top of the hill there Sunday afternoon, but they came

309
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 1: up a little bit short. But I you know, we

310
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 1: always check in on league goings on with Kyle just

311
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 1: for more of a national perspective, So I'll be interested

312
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 1: to talk to him about that because the race in

313
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 1: the NFC is quickly becoming almost as tight as it

314
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 1: is in the AFC, and people are gonna be fighting

315
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 1: tooth and nail for every single inch of grass on

316
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 1: the field, let alone wins and losses every Sunday. Yeah,

317
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 1: it's been a crapshoot. And listening to Good Morning Football

318
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 1: last week, they were trying to figure out, Okay, who's

319
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,919
Speaker 1: going to be the MVP this season, and all of

320
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,880
Speaker 1: them kind of agreed. Have we been at this place

321
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 1: in the season where week thirteen or week fourteen they

322
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 1: were talking about it where we really don't have a

323
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 1: true favorite who has been head and shoulders above everyone

324
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 1: and they all had different guys that they were trying

325
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:26,879
Speaker 1: to pick in terms of this guy is worthy of

326
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:31,400
Speaker 1: the MVP this year, and thinking back to their options,

327
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 1: they're just like, I cannot believe where at this point

328
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:36,160
Speaker 1: in the season, where where the MVP race is kind

329
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:39,159
Speaker 1: of still up in the air at this point. Yeah,

330
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 1: And you know, a lot of people were so high

331
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 1: on Kyler Murray for a while there through the middle

332
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 1: of the season, but then he missed like three games

333
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 1: due to injury, so did DeAndre Hopkins. They seem to

334
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 1: do fine without them, although Carolina did beat them pretty

335
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 1: handily thirty four to ten. When they didn't have Hopkins

336
00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,679
Speaker 1: or Murray in the lineup. They'd beat Cole McCoy and

337
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 1: company and got a big win. I think that's their

338
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 1: last victory though, because they lost three in a row

339
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 1: after that, I believe. I think that's right. So, yeah,

340
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 1: it till be interesting to see where it goes. I

341
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 1: can't remember a time when it was this tightly packed

342
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 1: with this many teams in both conferences, so it is

343
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 1: very telling. Every team seemingly has some kind awarts that's

344
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:25,159
Speaker 1: come up to bite them at the wrong time and

345
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 1: handed them losses and made the race tighter, so be

346
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,879
Speaker 1: an interesting conversation with Kyle in the second hour of

347
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:35,680
Speaker 1: the program. Twitter Poll conversation today for you which is

348
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 1: more critical to the success of the Bills offense going forward.

349
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 1: We've got choices for you on that. At one Bills Live,

350
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 1: a more use of Gabe Davis, b Josh Allen in

351
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:52,199
Speaker 1: the run game, see offensive line play, or d something else.

352
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 1: And true to form with Bills fans, they are all

353
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 1: in on offensive line play. Almost vote out of the

354
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 1: gate many dang they really want some offensive line played

355
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 1: an increase over the next couple of weeks. I thought

356
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:11,919
Speaker 1: it would be. I figured that was going to be

357
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 1: the favorite, but I thought that there would have been

358
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 1: a little bit more on maybe other or use of

359
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 1: Gabe Davis. But I understand it. Hey, if your offensive

360
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,920
Speaker 1: line isn't giving Josh Allen the protection that he needs,

361
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 1: if it isn't giving the run game the holes that

362
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 1: they need, it's it's tough to do stuff without a

363
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 1: good offensive line. And it's been tough for the Bills

364
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:38,200
Speaker 1: this season because the injuries have really decimated that line.

365
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 1: It's it's moved things around it. Guys have not been

366
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,879
Speaker 1: as comfortable with each other. And I think back to

367
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 1: the beginning of the year when they started to feel

368
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:51,200
Speaker 1: some of those injuries, and I just thought, it's gonna

369
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 1: be no big deal this year because last year the

370
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 1: same things happened. Guys shifted around and it worked for them.

371
00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:01,159
Speaker 1: This year, it's not the case. This year. They've they've

372
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 1: felt that loss of guys switching around and guys being

373
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: down due to injury. But hopefully John Feliciano can get

374
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 1: back up back in the lineup here and it can

375
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 1: stay the same five guys maybe to end the season,

376
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,359
Speaker 1: and hopefully that can make a difference for that group.

377
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 1: Because if that can, then I think a lot of

378
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 1: things can happen on offense positively coming forward. Yeah, And

379
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:29,679
Speaker 1: I mean, if there is one thing that the Bills

380
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,360
Speaker 1: have faced, you know, with their offense each and every week,

381
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 1: it's a healthy share of either a top ten total

382
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 1: defense or a top ten points allowed defense through the

383
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 1: course of the season. I mean New England, we know

384
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 1: is number one in the league in points allowed, number

385
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,880
Speaker 1: three in total defense. Kansas City, which was having problems

386
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,159
Speaker 1: when the Bills play them, they're now sixth in the

387
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 1: league in points allowed. As Steve Spagnolo has rounded that

388
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 1: unit back into form India top ten scoring defense, and

389
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:05,360
Speaker 1: I mean Tampa is a number three run defense, Washington

390
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 1: probably the outlier in there, and then there's Carolina. If

391
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 1: there's one thing that they have done well, it's performed

392
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 1: very well statistically on the defensive side of the ball.

393
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 1: Number two defense overall, eighth in points allowed and first

394
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 1: against the past, just ahead of Buffalo. So this is

395
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 1: a defense that could potentially give Buffalo some problems because

396
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 1: their strength is also Buffalo strength, which is the passing game.

397
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 1: So I don't know, and Josh's condition kind of complicates

398
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:39,200
Speaker 1: it for me a little bit. Maddie. I'm not saying

399
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 1: this is necessarily going to be a tight game because

400
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,719
Speaker 1: their offense is admittedly a mess, but I wouldn't be

401
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 1: surprised if Carolina is at least able to defensively hold

402
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 1: their team in the game for a while. Yeah, it

403
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 1: should be interesting to watch that part of the game.

404
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 1: I mean, like you said, it's definitely going to be

405
00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 1: strength on strength. They've allowed the second lowest amount of

406
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,880
Speaker 1: passing first downs as well, Buffalo's number one in terms

407
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 1: of allowing passing first downs. They haven't allowed too many

408
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:10,159
Speaker 1: big plays either only thirty seven plays of twenty or

409
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,880
Speaker 1: more yards that ranks fourth in the NFL. And oh,

410
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 1: by the way, they have Hassan Reddick who has ten

411
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 1: and a half sacks right now, which is top ten

412
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 1: in the league eight oh three, oh five, fifty one

413
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 1: eighty eight five fifty two, five fifty. If you want

414
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 1: to join us, which is more crucial to the success

415
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 1: of the Bills offense? Choices for you there at one

416
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 1: Bills Live on the tweet sheet, or just tell us

417
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 1: what you think. Maybe you've got a better idea in

418
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 1: terms of what's crucial to the success of the Bills

419
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:42,399
Speaker 1: offense going forward. The thing that I've noticed somewhat of

420
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:46,879
Speaker 1: a pattern with Maddie are the slow starts on offense.

421
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 1: I didn't look it up. I meant to before we

422
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 1: came on the air today and I ran out of time.

423
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:55,640
Speaker 1: The last time the Bills scored a touchdown on their

424
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:59,160
Speaker 1: opening drive of the game. I want to say it's

425
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:03,640
Speaker 1: been at least to a handful of games, and I'll

426
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 1: have to look it up in the break, but it

427
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:10,680
Speaker 1: just seems like first couple of series almost every week.

428
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 1: I don't want to say they're sleepwalking through it, but

429
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:17,399
Speaker 1: they're just not in sync. And then that puts undue

430
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 1: pressure on the defense, like, all right, we got to

431
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 1: hold this thing down here until the offense can kick

432
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 1: it into gear. Obviously, last week it took an entire half,

433
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:28,959
Speaker 1: and there have been other examples of that, the second

434
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 1: Miami game where it's three three and a half time

435
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 1: because the offense can't get it into gear until the

436
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 1: third quarter. And while you're maybe not as intimidated by

437
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:42,160
Speaker 1: this Carolina team because they're having their own problems on offense,

438
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:44,960
Speaker 1: you don't want to let teams that you know are

439
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 1: a lesser opponent than you hang around. That's when you

440
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 1: invite trouble. And that's that's the concern that I have

441
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 1: with respect to the offense, that the fast starts just

442
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 1: haven't been there of late. And I think that I

443
00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 1: didn't look up this before we got on air either,

444
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 1: but going into last week's game, I saw somebody tweet

445
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 1: when the Bills score on the first drive, I think

446
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:08,880
Speaker 1: they're five and zero or it was some stat where

447
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,439
Speaker 1: they've won several more games than lost games when they

448
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 1: score on that first drive of the game. And we

449
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,360
Speaker 1: talked about it leading into the Tampa Bay Bucks game

450
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 1: on our pregame show how important the rhythm is for

451
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 1: this offense and how important it is for Josh Allen

452
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:26,360
Speaker 1: to get in that rhythm, find those easy wins, script

453
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 1: a couple things out if you need to, so that

454
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 1: he can feel like he's in a place where his

455
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 1: confidence is high. To start the game and start piecing

456
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:38,920
Speaker 1: other things together, because the first couple drives of the game,

457
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 1: we're not helpful for the offense or for the defense.

458
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 1: They started to get that drive going. I can't remember

459
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 1: if it was a third or the fourth drive of

460
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 1: the first half where they completed a couple of big plays.

461
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,400
Speaker 1: It was Emmanuel Sanders had a play of more than

462
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 1: twenty two yards or twenty yards, and then it was

463
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,440
Speaker 1: Dave Davis and then Cole Beasley, and then Josh Allen

464
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 1: had a first down on the ground and it was like, Okay,

465
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:03,879
Speaker 1: here's the offense we're getting going now. But then the

466
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 1: next drive it was nothing after that, and finally in

467
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:08,879
Speaker 1: the second half they started to put things together. But

468
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,359
Speaker 1: when you get into the second half, it's almost too little,

469
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:14,400
Speaker 1: too late, especially when you're down twenty four to three.

470
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 1: It's about taking advantage of the opportunities you get right away.

471
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,639
Speaker 1: And I think you couple that the lack of rhythm

472
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 1: that they've had early on with the lack of the

473
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 1: defense's ability to take the ball away in the last

474
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,680
Speaker 1: couple of games, I mean two takeaways in the last

475
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:33,120
Speaker 1: four games compared to the first four games, this defense

476
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 1: had eleven takeaways and led the league in that statistics.

477
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:38,920
Speaker 1: So they were giving the ball back to the offense

478
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:42,399
Speaker 1: to have more opportunities to score and get that rhythm going.

479
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,160
Speaker 1: So I hope we've seen an uptick in these two

480
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 1: things because I think it's super important in terms of

481
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:52,159
Speaker 1: getting points on the scoreboard with the chance to win. Yeah,

482
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 1: and while it was good that, you know, they had

483
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:57,199
Speaker 1: a decent performance in the red zone, you know on

484
00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 1: Sunday going three for five down there, you know they

485
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:02,639
Speaker 1: want to be even a little bit better than that. Obviously,

486
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 1: you want to score a touchdown every time down there,

487
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 1: but going against a formidable defense like Carolina's, at least

488
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 1: on paper, you know, not only do you have to

489
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:16,119
Speaker 1: get into rhythm, you got to finish those drives, ideally

490
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 1: with touchdowns. And you know, I I hope they can

491
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 1: sustain some of what I felt they recaptured in the

492
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:27,680
Speaker 1: second half of the game Sunday, And I know some

493
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 1: people argue, and Steve sometimes argues this himself. He says, Oh, well,

494
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:35,440
Speaker 1: you know, every game is different. You can't really carry

495
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 1: momentum from one game into the next. Maybe in other

496
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 1: sports you can because you're playing every other day, or

497
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 1: you're playing three days in a row, you know, with

498
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 1: baseball and stuff. He's like, with football, it's different. It's

499
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 1: you know, it's once a week. So he's he's not

500
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 1: a big proponent of carrying momentum from one game into

501
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 1: the next. But still, in all you know, I'd like

502
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 1: to see the red zone success continue. But you look

503
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 1: at Carolina and their defense surprisingly is pretty far down

504
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:09,160
Speaker 1: the list in terms of red zone defense. I think

505
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,920
Speaker 1: they're tied for like twenty six or something. They're way

506
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 1: down the list, which is kind of odd when you

507
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:16,199
Speaker 1: think about how good they are in a lot of

508
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 1: other defensive categories. But when teams get inside there twenty

509
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:21,160
Speaker 1: they have trouble keeping them out of the end zone.

510
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:24,120
Speaker 1: So that's, I guess, is a good thing for Buffalo. Yeah,

511
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 1: that's one thing that I was looking at two and

512
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 1: was surprised about is their ability to let teams score

513
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 1: in the red zone. They love teams score touchdown sixty

514
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,680
Speaker 1: seven point six percent of the time, which does rank

515
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 1: for twenty six in the league right now. They're pretty

516
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 1: good on third down on limiting opponents on third down

517
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 1: only letting opponents convert thirty six point four percent at

518
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,879
Speaker 1: the time, which ranks top ten. But yeah, hopefully the

519
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:53,879
Speaker 1: Carolina's lack of ability to defend in the red zone

520
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:57,399
Speaker 1: lets the Buffalo Bills continue on with their success that

521
00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 1: they saw in the second half, and something carries over

522
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 1: from the second half, because there was that punch you

523
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 1: in the mouth type of football that they were playing,

524
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:09,640
Speaker 1: and you could see in their demeanor and their attitude.

525
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:12,879
Speaker 1: And I talked about that yesterday. It was like, Hello,

526
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 1: here are the Buffalo Bills. Here is the team that

527
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:19,679
Speaker 1: everybody loves and everybody remembers from points this season, but

528
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 1: a lot of last season. It was like they were

529
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:25,439
Speaker 1: unstoppable in the second half and things were working together

530
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 1: and they were firing on all cylinders. And I want

531
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 1: to believe that you can carry that over into this

532
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:34,639
Speaker 1: next game because that's what they need going forward, and

533
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 1: that's what they're gonna need to win playoff games, you've

534
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 1: got to have it all together. You can't just have

535
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 1: one side of the ball working and one side not working.

536
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 1: So I really hope that this version that we saw

537
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 1: in the second half is going to be the version

538
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 1: of this team that we see for the rest of

539
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:54,480
Speaker 1: the season into the playoffs. Yeah, and despite all that success,

540
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 1: you know, one of the numbers that popped out like

541
00:28:57,080 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 1: a sore thumb was going two for thirteen on third down. Like,

542
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 1: it didn't really compromise their ability to put points on

543
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 1: the board, but it did stall out some drives, most

544
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 1: notably in overtime where they had to punt despite winning

545
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 1: the coin toss. So they're gonna have to come up

546
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 1: with some better winners on third down as well to

547
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 1: up that conversion percentage because the last two weeks, Maddie,

548
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 1: the Bills are six for twenty six on third down.

549
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 1: That's just not going to get it done. Yeah, not

550
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 1: going to get it done, especially when you're not getting

551
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 1: the first down on second down, and when you need

552
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 1: those those third downs to convert into first downs. I mean,

553
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 1: that's so important. They were oh for five converting third

554
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 1: downs in the first half of the game against the

555
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 1: path of the game against the Buccaneers, and that's a

556
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 1: really important part of your game right there. They still

557
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 1: rank high, Like overall in the season, I think there's

558
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 1: still a top five team converting third downs. Yeah, their

559
00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 1: third averaging converting forty five point eight percent of the time.

560
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 1: But yeah, when you look at the stats over the

561
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 1: last two weeks, that has not been the story. And

562
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 1: if you want to get into the red zone, if

563
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 1: you want to move the ball down the field and

564
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 1: move the chains, third downs, converting is super important to

565
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 1: what this offense can do. Yeah, and for those of

566
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 1: you that can't do math on the fly like me,

567
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 1: that's only a twenty three percent success rate six out

568
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 1: of twenty six the last two weeks, granted against two

569
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 1: very good defenses in New England and Tampa. But you know,

570
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 1: this Buffalo offense wants to be decidedly better than that.

571
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 1: We have to take a break here, but when we

572
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 1: come back, as promised, we are going to play. Some

573
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 1: of the more notable comments from head coach Sean McDermott,

574
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 1: as well as Brian Dable and Leslie Frazier, the coordinators

575
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 1: on the heels of the Tampa Bay loss and looking

576
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:46,959
Speaker 1: heads to Carolina. We'll get their thoughts next here on

577
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 1: One Bill's Line, presented by Kalid to Health. It's Buffalo

578
00:30:49,240 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 1: Bill's Radio. All right, Chris Brown, Maddy Glad you're here

579
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 1: on One Bills Live on a Tuesday, and we wanted

580
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 1: to pass along some of the comments from head coach

581
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott as well as Brian Dable and Leslie Frasier

582
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 1: on the heels of the Tampa game and heading into

583
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:18,240
Speaker 1: this Carolina game in week fifteen. It's not a conference game,

584
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 1: but it's pretty important now with this race as tightly

585
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 1: packed as it is in the AFC. Coach McDermott talked

586
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 1: about building off of the second half performance against the Buccaneers.

587
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 1: I think that those moments come in different forms every

588
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:37,960
Speaker 1: year for every team in terms of what galvanizes a

589
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 1: team a little bit that you can look back on

590
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 1: at at season's end and say, hey, that was that

591
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 1: was the moment. You know, there's and they're not always

592
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 1: just on the field. There's sometimes off the field. So

593
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 1: you know, it's just every season's a little bit different.

594
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 1: I mean, there's things that have happened in my career,

595
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 1: you know, I can think of an airplane ride, even

596
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 1: coming to Buffalo years ago, we're in Philadelphia and we

597
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 1: had it got pretty pretty bumpy, and I think we

598
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 1: were had struggled earlier in the year then and we

599
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 1: came and took this flight of it got pretty touch

600
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 1: and go, but I felt it come up here. We

601
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 1: won that game, and we had a little bit of

602
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 1: a different course of a year from there. So it's

603
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 1: just things that I think bring a team closer together,

604
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:29,960
Speaker 1: those shared experiences really nick that that can do that,

605
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 1: that can galvanize a team and just bring it that

606
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 1: much closer together. So it's just it comes in different

607
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 1: forms probably every season, all right. So Maddie, I'm not

608
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 1: going to try to I'm not trying to make light

609
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 1: of coach mcdermot's comments when I say this, But the

610
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 1: first time I'm listening to him yesterday, give that answer,

611
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 1: he finishes, and I'm thinking to myself, his coach indicating

612
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 1: that his team needs to have a near death experience

613
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 1: to have an amazing performance, because he's talking about that

614
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 1: plane like it was going to go down, like it

615
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 1: was touch and go, like it's wobbling all over the

616
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 1: place in the wind, which if you've lived in Buffalo

617
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 1: long enough him and you've flown in and out of

618
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 1: this city, you know what can happen. It happened when

619
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:11,320
Speaker 1: I was flying in yesterday with the windy conditions that

620
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 1: we had. So I heard that comment. I was like,

621
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 1: did I hear that? What is coach saying here? It

622
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 1: was kind of crazy. Yeah, he's got a smirk on

623
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 1: his face too. I'm like, where is this press conference

624
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 1: going right now? But I agree with him in the

625
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 1: fact that, like, if you have something that can bring

626
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 1: a team together, whether that be something on or off

627
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 1: the field, take it, run with it and keep it

628
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 1: going as much as you can. Whether that's a saying something.

629
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 1: I mean, Sean McDermott has had so many sayings, whether

630
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 1: it's fine a way or trust the process, that we've

631
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 1: heard him utter throughout the five years that he's been

632
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 1: a head coach here, and some people may think it's

633
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 1: gimmicky or lame, but it works inside of a team.

634
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 1: I mean, you can unite around one thing and believe

635
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 1: in that one thing and look to that one thing,

636
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 1: and if it's a second half performance against the Tampa

637
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 1: Bay Bucks, I'm all in because whatever whatever it is

638
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 1: that helps this team move on and go forward hopefully

639
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 1: getting four more wins and the regular season. Sign me

640
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 1: up for it. Yeah, And I mean there's no secret

641
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 1: that maybe NFL coach is more than any other. Coaches

642
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:25,440
Speaker 1: are always looking for anything that will motivate and summon

643
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:30,319
Speaker 1: up the enthusiasm in their team to really put it

644
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:32,479
Speaker 1: all out on the line every week, because, as Steve

645
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 1: has told us several times, the amount of emotional and

646
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 1: physical energy you have to summon to play at your

647
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:45,879
Speaker 1: best in a sport as violent as this is so

648
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 1: massive that doing it, you know, now, seventeen times in

649
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 1: a row in the regular season is a big ask.

650
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 1: So anything that a coach can latch onto that's going

651
00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:00,560
Speaker 1: to work and get the players to put their best

652
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:03,920
Speaker 1: out on the field on game day. You're taking it

653
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:07,440
Speaker 1: every day, every single opportunity. You're taking that to the

654
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:09,279
Speaker 1: bank if you know what's going to work, or even

655
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 1: if you think there's a good chance it'll work. Coach

656
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:17,960
Speaker 1: McDermott was asked, not surprisingly about Gabriel Davis stepping up

657
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:21,040
Speaker 1: in the absence of Emmanuel Sanders, and here's what coach

658
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 1: had to offer on Gabe's latest performance. You know, really

659
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 1: impressed with what Gabe did when he stepped in there.

660
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:32,960
Speaker 1: You know, I had some touches before before, but you know,

661
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:36,400
Speaker 1: obviously that game, his reps went way up, and I

662
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 1: thought it was very productive, very detailed in his approach,

663
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 1: and he was where he was supposed to be and

664
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 1: he made the place I mean at fourth that was

665
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 1: a that was a that was a big time to

666
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 1: play for us. I was in a critical moment and

667
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 1: that Josh. Josh trust him to be where he's supposed

668
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:58,239
Speaker 1: to be and they connected there. So I think he

669
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 1: saw something right there that and a good young player

670
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:06,400
Speaker 1: that's good, that's good outside to him here. Yeah. So

671
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people have been pining for

672
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:12,400
Speaker 1: more time for Gabriel Davis. Now he'll get it. And

673
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 1: I mean, Maddie, I think some people forget even in

674
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 1: spot duty last year. I mean, the guy had thirty

675
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 1: five receptions, seven of him winning for touchdowns and he

676
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:24,759
Speaker 1: had about three that got called back on penalty that

677
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:26,360
Speaker 1: would have gone for scores. I mean, he could have

678
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 1: been a ten touchdown rookie last year. Yeah, him and

679
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 1: Steph Diggs would have would go back and forth and

680
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:34,920
Speaker 1: argue about their touchdown total towards the end of the

681
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:37,439
Speaker 1: season because Gabe had so many that were called back.

682
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 1: But this is a receiver they trust. This is a

683
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:43,319
Speaker 1: receiver that was asked to learn every single position by

684
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:47,000
Speaker 1: Brian dave Ball in his rookie season. You talk to

685
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:51,120
Speaker 1: any offensive player on this roster, including Josh Allen. They

686
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:54,799
Speaker 1: are asking for him, wanting him to get more playing time.

687
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:58,760
Speaker 1: They understand, Hey, here's here's how it goes in terms

688
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:01,920
Speaker 1: of you know, a step Emmanuel and Cole and the

689
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:05,000
Speaker 1: touches and the targets they're getting because of their ability

690
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 1: to play and their ability to get first downs and

691
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:10,839
Speaker 1: play good football. But Gave Davis is right there with them,

692
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:14,560
Speaker 1: and Gabe has been when he's been asked about the

693
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:17,680
Speaker 1: said subjects. His answer has been, you know, it's tough,

694
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:19,880
Speaker 1: but I will be patient and wait my turn and

695
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:22,799
Speaker 1: wait for when my name is called. And here's his turn.

696
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:25,319
Speaker 1: His name has been called. Let's see what he can

697
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:28,840
Speaker 1: add in terms of a spark to this offense. Much

698
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:33,240
Speaker 1: was made of Buffalo's offensive approach in the first half

699
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:37,760
Speaker 1: Sunday in Tampa, especially when it was pretty much revealed

700
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:40,920
Speaker 1: on the halftime stat sheet that not a single running

701
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:43,719
Speaker 1: back carry had been made by the Bills. Josh had

702
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:46,400
Speaker 1: four carries for forty three yards I think it was

703
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 1: at a halftime, and three of those were scrambles, so

704
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:52,280
Speaker 1: arguably there was you know, there was only one run

705
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 1: play called the entire first half a design run for Josh.

706
00:37:56,600 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 1: So Brian Dable was asked about that plan in the

707
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 1: first half against the Bucks and why a running back

708
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 1: didn't touch the ball once out of the backfield. I

709
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 1: mean there's different ways to you know, you can turn

710
00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:13,840
Speaker 1: and hand it off and let them run into that

711
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage, which you know they were you know,

712
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 1: top two, if not the best on eighty yards. So again,

713
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:23,040
Speaker 1: you try to be creative and find ways to either

714
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 1: tire a line out or get the ball on a

715
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:29,759
Speaker 1: perimeter and use RPOs or quarterback run game or a

716
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 1: quick dropback or perimeter screens. So you know, we were

717
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:36,440
Speaker 1: going to be aggressive. Um, you know, that was the

718
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:40,160
Speaker 1: mindset going into it. You know, got behind the chains

719
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:43,239
Speaker 1: a little bit there on in the first half. Had

720
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 1: a couple really third and longs, but the guy's battle

721
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:48,319
Speaker 1: did a good job and you know, I think Josh

722
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 1: made good decisions in terms of the running game. Um,

723
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:54,640
Speaker 1: you know, went to throw it and went to hand

724
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:58,319
Speaker 1: it off. So I mean, even though on the statue,

725
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 1: Maddie it says year O Carrey's for running backs in

726
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:03,719
Speaker 1: the first half, which I think I saw it was

727
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:05,719
Speaker 1: the first time that's happened in an NFL game since

728
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:10,480
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety one, it sounds as though there were some

729
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:13,520
Speaker 1: RPOs you know, read pass options for Josh to make

730
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 1: the decision, and more often than not, obviously he chose

731
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 1: to throw the football, and I think against the Bucks defense,

732
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:25,399
Speaker 1: the riding was on the wall for how they would

733
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:28,239
Speaker 1: approach the run game in this one, the Bucks being

734
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:31,520
Speaker 1: a top three team in terms of stopping the run,

735
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:34,560
Speaker 1: only allowing I think just over eighty rushing yards a

736
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:38,800
Speaker 1: game going into that game, so I figured there wouldn't

737
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:40,640
Speaker 1: be much of a run game, but I did not

738
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:43,840
Speaker 1: think that they would A running back wouldn't run the

739
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:45,920
Speaker 1: ball in the first half, But in the second half,

740
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:49,120
Speaker 1: the running backs end up totaling sixty four rushing yards.

741
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:53,640
Speaker 1: I mean, Devin Singletary averages thirteen yards per carry, which

742
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:55,799
Speaker 1: is a pretty good number for him. He got loose

743
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 1: on a couple of those plays and also played a

744
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:00,600
Speaker 1: part in the passing game as well. All catching some

745
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:03,680
Speaker 1: of those short passes from Josh Allen. So we'll see

746
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:06,720
Speaker 1: what's ahead for this group. I mean, I wouldn't expect

747
00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 1: the same thing next game, because I do think there

748
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:12,920
Speaker 1: is some value into getting Devin Single, Terry, Zach Moss,

749
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:15,919
Speaker 1: Matt Brita involved, because I think we kind of saw

750
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:18,880
Speaker 1: how it opened up the offense in the second half.

751
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:22,000
Speaker 1: Maybe it wasn't the reason why the offense started to

752
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:24,240
Speaker 1: get going in the second half, but it surely played

753
00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:28,360
Speaker 1: a part. Yeah, No, I wouldn't debate that for a second. Meanwhile,

754
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:31,600
Speaker 1: on the other side of the ball, the defense also

755
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:34,760
Speaker 1: played better in the second half. They held the Bucks

756
00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:36,879
Speaker 1: two hundred and ten total net yards and just three

757
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:39,800
Speaker 1: points over the final two quarters before the overtime play.

758
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 1: So here is coach Frasier who said, you know, part

759
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:46,680
Speaker 1: of the reason why we struggled to give our offense

760
00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:49,239
Speaker 1: more opportunities because we didn't take the ball away. As

761
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:52,160
Speaker 1: Maddy pointed out, that's kind of dried up lately for

762
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 1: the Bills in their last few games. So here's coach

763
00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:58,520
Speaker 1: Frasier on the importance of getting back to take away

764
00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:02,239
Speaker 1: football on defense. That's something that we have talked about

765
00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:05,279
Speaker 1: as the staff earlier today, and we need to get

766
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 1: back to taking it away. It would have made a

767
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:10,000
Speaker 1: big difference yesterday and we got to find ways to

768
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:12,200
Speaker 1: get it done. You know, we'll continue to work under

769
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:14,719
Speaker 1: in practice, we'll continue to talk about it. And as

770
00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:17,080
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes they come in bunches and once you

771
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:19,840
Speaker 1: get a couple of get one, they kind of snowball

772
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 1: from there. So we're hoping that this coming weekend, you know,

773
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:25,640
Speaker 1: we can get back on track with taking a football

774
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 1: the way. This could be the weekend to get us started. Yeah,

775
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:34,759
Speaker 1: and you know, with I think there are advantages that

776
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:39,760
Speaker 1: the Bills can take here defensively and manifest them into takeaways.

777
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:42,640
Speaker 1: And what I mean by that, Mattie, is logic tells

778
00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:47,319
Speaker 1: you that whenever you're platooning quarterbacks and rotating them in

779
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:51,120
Speaker 1: and out of the lineup there, it can be more

780
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:56,240
Speaker 1: miscommunication and a disconnect between the quarterbacks and they're receiving targets,

781
00:41:56,360 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 1: you know, a miscommunication on a play. But wow, this

782
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:01,319
Speaker 1: guy's in now instead that guy, well, I feel more

783
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 1: comfortable with him. What does he mean? Is he giving

784
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:06,200
Speaker 1: me a look telling me to break this in because

785
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:09,319
Speaker 1: of how this guy's playing me leverage wise, So I

786
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:13,040
Speaker 1: think there are going to be greater opportunities for maybe

787
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:15,200
Speaker 1: a little bit of miscommunication out there on the field.

788
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:18,799
Speaker 1: With Carolina rotating quarterbacks, maybe that turns into more opportunities

789
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:22,560
Speaker 1: for the Bills DBS and I would hope so, because

790
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:25,719
Speaker 1: if you look at the stats, I mean, the Carolina

791
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:29,640
Speaker 1: Panthers have twenty three turnovers that ties for twenty ninth

792
00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:32,160
Speaker 1: in the NFL, So quite a high number right there.

793
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:35,600
Speaker 1: Their turnover margin is minus eight, which is twenty eighth

794
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:38,200
Speaker 1: in the NFL. So this is a team where if

795
00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:40,080
Speaker 1: you're going to take the ball away and do it

796
00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:43,839
Speaker 1: multiple times in a game. With the ability of them

797
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:49,759
Speaker 1: to rotate through quarterbacks here and their lack of weapons

798
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 1: that they have available right now, I mean, this defense

799
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:55,640
Speaker 1: should be able to take advantage of that situation. And

800
00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:59,080
Speaker 1: Dane Jackson had a good game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

801
00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:02,960
Speaker 1: I would expect him to also play good games going forward.

802
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:06,040
Speaker 1: He was close on a couple plays last game. Maybe

803
00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:09,920
Speaker 1: he can get an interception in this one. Yeah, hopefully

804
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 1: that is the case. We have to take a break here,

805
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:15,600
Speaker 1: but when we come back, what is Bill Belichick using

806
00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:19,800
Speaker 1: to get better prepared for the Indianapolis Colts this weekend,

807
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:23,480
Speaker 1: and a battle between the Buffalo and Tampa Bay Airport

808
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:27,080
Speaker 1: on social media. What in God's name is going on? Now?

809
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:29,719
Speaker 1: We'll let you know next Here on One Bill's Live

810
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:44,440
Speaker 1: presented by Kalid to Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio. Inside

811
00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:46,800
Speaker 1: the Numbers, brought to you by the New York Lottery.

812
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:50,400
Speaker 1: Go to Buffalo Bills dot com backslash prize pack sack

813
00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:53,520
Speaker 1: to win one hundred dollars in New York Lottery scratch

814
00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:57,600
Speaker 1: offs and assigned football. The Bills now have three hundred

815
00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:01,920
Speaker 1: sixty three points this season, the highest total through thirteen

816
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:07,200
Speaker 1: games played in franchise annals. Only years with more were

817
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:11,719
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy five, nineteen ninety one, nineteen sixty four, and

818
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:16,640
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety. So despite all of the criticism that this

819
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:19,400
Speaker 1: offense has faced through the course of the year, whether

820
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:23,960
Speaker 1: it's run game, red zone anything, somebody not playing like

821
00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:28,920
Speaker 1: gave Davis still fifth highest point total through thirteen games.

822
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:33,560
Speaker 1: Not too shabby, Maddie. I don't know if you saw this,

823
00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:36,480
Speaker 1: but obviously after yesterday's show, which you were a part of,

824
00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:39,640
Speaker 1: you heard the full on angst of Bills fans with

825
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:42,880
Speaker 1: respect to the lack of penalty calls in favor of

826
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:45,720
Speaker 1: the Bills and the penalty calls that went against Buffalo

827
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:51,680
Speaker 1: in the overtime loss to Tampa Bay. Well, that spilled

828
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:57,640
Speaker 1: over into the Twitter handles of the Tampa Airport and

829
00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:02,320
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Airport. So this is Monday early, the Tampa

830
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:07,439
Speaker 1: International Airport says, oh, and safe flight home to all

831
00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:11,399
Speaker 1: the Bills fans with a slightly sad face, to which

832
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:16,240
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Airport responds, check your lost and found, Tampa Airport.

833
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:20,280
Speaker 1: All the penalty flags seem to have gone missing. Winky face,

834
00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:24,399
Speaker 1: So it's reached that level. I laughed out loud when

835
00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:27,359
Speaker 1: I saw it. That's a pretty good burn right there

836
00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:30,880
Speaker 1: by the Buffalo Airport. They're actually pretty active on Twitter

837
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:33,960
Speaker 1: and have some hilarious tweets. So if you have some

838
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:36,000
Speaker 1: time to spare, I would I would go check out

839
00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:39,840
Speaker 1: Buffalo Airport's Twitter account because it does bring some laughter

840
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:43,720
Speaker 1: into my life. Especially after seeing this tweet, I was like, oh,

841
00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:46,680
Speaker 1: did they just go there? They definitely went there, So yeah,

842
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:50,879
Speaker 1: way to go, Buffalo Airport protecting US bills people. Yeah, well,

843
00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:52,400
Speaker 1: I mean a lot of bills mafia are going in

844
00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:54,359
Speaker 1: and out of that airport during the season, So good

845
00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:57,360
Speaker 1: move on their part to kind of support the cause,

846
00:45:57,400 --> 00:46:00,239
Speaker 1: so to speak. This did not surprise me in the

847
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:03,359
Speaker 1: least in the least when I saw this, Maddie Bill

848
00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:10,360
Speaker 1: Belichick using Hard Knocks to prepare for the Colts. So

849
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:14,520
Speaker 1: obviously the Colts are having the first edition of Hard

850
00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:17,799
Speaker 1: Knocks in season. Most of the time it's done during

851
00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:20,240
Speaker 1: training camp, or every iteration of it before this done

852
00:46:20,520 --> 00:46:24,400
Speaker 1: has been during training camp. So they're Hard Knocks in season.

853
00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:28,839
Speaker 1: And there are more things that go on obviously during

854
00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:32,200
Speaker 1: the season behind the scenes that are probably more valuable

855
00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:36,480
Speaker 1: for opponents to maybe cling to and make some use

856
00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:40,080
Speaker 1: of when they play that team in a given week.

857
00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:43,640
Speaker 1: And Bill Belichick did not deny that he's got his

858
00:46:43,719 --> 00:46:49,480
Speaker 1: minions combing through each and every episode of the Colts

859
00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:54,839
Speaker 1: Hard Knocks series, and he said, we track most everything

860
00:46:55,160 --> 00:46:58,840
Speaker 1: any team that we play does. Depending on the relevance

861
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:02,200
Speaker 1: or importance of that information, at some point it gets

862
00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:06,719
Speaker 1: relaid down the line. We have somebody that studies each team.

863
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:10,360
Speaker 1: Any relevant comments or information that we think is relevant

864
00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:15,320
Speaker 1: to the preparation that could be shared, sure we will

865
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:19,200
Speaker 1: use it. They think of that is he going to

866
00:47:19,239 --> 00:47:22,160
Speaker 1: find out that like Carson Wentz like cinnamon toast crunched

867
00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:24,400
Speaker 1: for breakfast. So they're not going to have any of

868
00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:28,200
Speaker 1: that in the locker room for him. No, I think

869
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:32,640
Speaker 1: I think the root of this it comes in what

870
00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:36,880
Speaker 1: the players say and what certainly what frank Reich says,

871
00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:41,399
Speaker 1: because I know earlier in the season Jacksonville head coach

872
00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:47,560
Speaker 1: Urban Meyer, frank Reich actually took a comment that he

873
00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:51,879
Speaker 1: said in a press conference and took note of it

874
00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:55,920
Speaker 1: in terms of their preparation for the Jaguars defense. And

875
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:59,840
Speaker 1: what urban Meyer said was basically, we are slowly morph

876
00:48:00,239 --> 00:48:05,200
Speaker 1: into a zone principal defense. And when he heard that,

877
00:48:05,239 --> 00:48:08,000
Speaker 1: he's like, oh, red flag, all right, we might be

878
00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:10,719
Speaker 1: getting more zone going forward here from a defense that

879
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:13,440
Speaker 1: we thought might play a little more man. So we

880
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:16,160
Speaker 1: have to take that into consideration when formulating the game

881
00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:19,600
Speaker 1: plan and certainly the opening script of plays that frank

882
00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:22,120
Speaker 1: Wich makes use of. So I thought that was a

883
00:48:22,200 --> 00:48:26,719
Speaker 1: very interesting admission that you know that coach Reich is

884
00:48:26,719 --> 00:48:29,520
Speaker 1: admitting that, and I think that explains a lot of

885
00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:33,560
Speaker 1: the time why so many coaches are very guarded with

886
00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:35,360
Speaker 1: their comments during the week. You know, you hear the

887
00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:37,800
Speaker 1: media say sometimes I wish we got a better answer

888
00:48:37,800 --> 00:48:40,600
Speaker 1: on that. This is why, this is why we don't

889
00:48:40,600 --> 00:48:43,759
Speaker 1: get more forthcoming answers, because they're afraid they're spilling some

890
00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:48,880
Speaker 1: kind of state secret to the opponent. No bulletin board

891
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:53,080
Speaker 1: material coming out from anywhere this time of the year,

892
00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:57,160
Speaker 1: especially with how few weeks left are in this season.

893
00:48:57,239 --> 00:48:59,080
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean you hear our players say that

894
00:48:59,120 --> 00:49:02,320
Speaker 1: a lot when they're asked questions that an answer could

895
00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:05,680
Speaker 1: lead to the saying the wrong thing. And we've heard

896
00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:09,560
Speaker 1: players walk things back where they'll think they'll be like, actually,

897
00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:11,239
Speaker 1: I'm not even going to go there. I don't want

898
00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:14,160
Speaker 1: to give this team any bolton board material. So everybody's

899
00:49:14,200 --> 00:49:16,200
Speaker 1: pretty careful about what they say and what they do.

900
00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:21,319
Speaker 1: So I guess I get it, Bill Belichick. But whatever, Yeah,

901
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:23,440
Speaker 1: I'm not surprised in the least that those are the

902
00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:26,320
Speaker 1: lengths they go to. There were rumors over the years

903
00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:32,520
Speaker 1: that they would send a team rep to go scout

904
00:49:32,600 --> 00:49:37,280
Speaker 1: other teams training camp practices, because if admission is free,

905
00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:42,399
Speaker 1: you can send your minions, you know, somewhere else and

906
00:49:42,719 --> 00:49:45,320
Speaker 1: go take in the practice. And everybody's got a phone.

907
00:49:45,840 --> 00:49:47,880
Speaker 1: I mean, who knows what kind of video. They're shooting

908
00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:51,719
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. So yeah, this is small potatoes

909
00:49:51,719 --> 00:49:54,400
Speaker 1: compared to some of the other things that people suspect

910
00:49:54,440 --> 00:49:57,520
Speaker 1: the Patriots of doing. And they'll be coming up on

911
00:49:57,560 --> 00:49:59,719
Speaker 1: the schedule here in the not too distant future. We

912
00:49:59,800 --> 00:50:01,759
Speaker 1: have to take a break because coming up next is

913
00:50:01,760 --> 00:50:05,799
Speaker 1: the weekly appearance from Good Morning Football's Kyle Brandt. We'll

914
00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:10,160
Speaker 1: talk to him about his thoughts on formulating the hype

915
00:50:10,200 --> 00:50:14,120
Speaker 1: speech that aired on Sunday before the Bills Bucks game

916
00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:17,920
Speaker 1: when he called out Bill's Mafia to mount up once again,

917
00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:22,680
Speaker 1: and we'll get a feeling from him on this ultimate

918
00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:26,760
Speaker 1: parody season that the NFL is with jam pack playoff

919
00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:30,359
Speaker 1: races now in both the AFC and the NFC. It's

920
00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:33,000
Speaker 1: Kyle Brandt's coming up next here on One Bill's Live,

921
00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:52,080
Speaker 1: presented by Kalid to Health. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio at

922
00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:55,560
Speaker 1: a Steve Tasker who has been all over the fields.

923
00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:57,239
Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was out of a dual role

924
00:50:57,320 --> 00:51:03,799
Speaker 1: player for you see a blimp. We're not even in

925
00:51:03,840 --> 00:51:09,319
Speaker 1: the strategyre of normalcy here, all right. Kicking it off

926
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:13,120
Speaker 1: our number two Chris Brown, Mandy Glab with you, and

927
00:51:13,320 --> 00:51:16,640
Speaker 1: we are joined by Good Morning Footballs Kyle Brandt, as

928
00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:19,040
Speaker 1: we are every Tuesday, Kyle, good to have you here.

929
00:51:19,600 --> 00:51:23,040
Speaker 1: We first should applaud you for the yeoman's effort with

930
00:51:23,080 --> 00:51:26,799
Speaker 1: the hype speech over the weekend NFL on CBS. Well

931
00:51:26,840 --> 00:51:30,719
Speaker 1: done there, I think you wouldn't You inspired them apparently,

932
00:51:30,719 --> 00:51:34,160
Speaker 1: though they didn't watch it until halftime. Um. At least

933
00:51:34,160 --> 00:51:37,000
Speaker 1: that's the word we're getting um because I mean everything

934
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:39,520
Speaker 1: turned around after that. But yeah, just coming up a

935
00:51:39,960 --> 00:51:43,080
Speaker 1: wee bit short and uh, it's it's kind of a

936
00:51:43,360 --> 00:51:46,440
Speaker 1: heart ripper for Bills fans, especially those that made the

937
00:51:46,440 --> 00:51:48,080
Speaker 1: trip to get out of the weather up here and

938
00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:54,160
Speaker 1: enjoy some sunny days in Florida there. But good job. Yeah,

939
00:51:54,280 --> 00:51:58,640
Speaker 1: strange times, a strange emotional time for for a lot

940
00:51:58,680 --> 00:52:01,319
Speaker 1: of fan bases. But I would think for Buffalo too,

941
00:52:01,360 --> 00:52:03,640
Speaker 1: and I'll listen. I know you guys have be a

942
00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:07,560
Speaker 1: very specific perspective and the real authentic perspective Locally. I

943
00:52:07,600 --> 00:52:09,600
Speaker 1: can only sit from where I am and say, man,

944
00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:13,319
Speaker 1: these Bills fans are pissed off, really mad about a

945
00:52:13,360 --> 00:52:15,600
Speaker 1: lot of things. I think they're mad about how the

946
00:52:15,680 --> 00:52:20,240
Speaker 1: season's going. I think they're mad about the officiating. Personally,

947
00:52:20,239 --> 00:52:21,759
Speaker 1: it's a lot of them are mad at me. That

948
00:52:22,280 --> 00:52:24,760
Speaker 1: everybody's just mad and looking for a pound of flesh

949
00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:27,759
Speaker 1: somewhere and somebody to blame. So please be mad. You've

950
00:52:27,800 --> 00:52:29,640
Speaker 1: lost four out of six games, and if you ask

951
00:52:29,719 --> 00:52:32,160
Speaker 1: a lot of these fans, they didn't really lose this one.

952
00:52:32,440 --> 00:52:34,520
Speaker 1: It was taken from them. So I mean, we've got

953
00:52:34,640 --> 00:52:36,840
Speaker 1: to win. Brow have you been doing this thing about

954
00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:39,759
Speaker 1: three years now? It's been some good times. People are

955
00:52:39,920 --> 00:52:44,080
Speaker 1: pissed and there's four games left. We can work on it. Yeah,

956
00:52:44,120 --> 00:52:47,319
Speaker 1: they're ticked and it's it's not good. And you know,

957
00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:50,120
Speaker 1: Matty and I were both on the show yesterday and

958
00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:54,080
Speaker 1: the collective angst is palpable. You know, you can see it,

959
00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:56,160
Speaker 1: you can feel it, you can cut it with a knife.

960
00:52:56,480 --> 00:52:58,839
Speaker 1: I think the biggest issue. And then we'll stop talking

961
00:52:58,840 --> 00:53:00,880
Speaker 1: about officials here because I know you say that's the

962
00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:03,760
Speaker 1: talk of losers. The last thing we will say about

963
00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:06,720
Speaker 1: it is this argument. I think it's a decent theory

964
00:53:07,640 --> 00:53:11,480
Speaker 1: and I brought it up yesterday Stefan Diggs. I think

965
00:53:11,600 --> 00:53:16,200
Speaker 1: is considered an a one level receiver and those are

966
00:53:16,280 --> 00:53:20,080
Speaker 1: the kinds of players who more often than not get

967
00:53:20,120 --> 00:53:23,200
Speaker 1: the benefit of the doubt, and those kinds of calls,

968
00:53:23,680 --> 00:53:26,960
Speaker 1: and there were two chances for officials to get it

969
00:53:27,040 --> 00:53:29,480
Speaker 1: right and do right by him, and they did not.

970
00:53:29,600 --> 00:53:32,040
Speaker 1: And I think that sticks in the craw of Bills

971
00:53:32,080 --> 00:53:35,080
Speaker 1: fans maybe more than anything else. With regard to that conversation,

972
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:38,680
Speaker 1: It's two pronged, isn't it. It's one you didn't give

973
00:53:38,719 --> 00:53:41,879
Speaker 1: us the call, and two it's you insulted our guy

974
00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:44,480
Speaker 1: by insinuating that he's not a big enough star to

975
00:53:44,520 --> 00:53:47,520
Speaker 1: get the call. And with Davante Adams have gotten that call,

976
00:53:47,520 --> 00:53:50,440
Speaker 1: with Tyreek have got it, would would Grock or Kelsey

977
00:53:50,440 --> 00:53:55,920
Speaker 1: have gotten it? Probably the one that drove me crazy

978
00:53:55,800 --> 00:53:59,160
Speaker 1: that these ones the Diggs were bad enough. I mean

979
00:53:59,160 --> 00:54:02,439
Speaker 1: I only hated the one with the Mike Evans play

980
00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:05,640
Speaker 1: on the far sideline because Mike Evans did some crafty

981
00:54:05,680 --> 00:54:08,400
Speaker 1: nonsense there that the rest completely fell for, in which

982
00:54:08,920 --> 00:54:13,160
Speaker 1: he grabbed the defender, pulled him into him. It is

983
00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:15,520
Speaker 1: just like going like being a six year old and

984
00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:18,799
Speaker 1: taking someone's fist and pushing it into your face and

985
00:54:18,880 --> 00:54:21,160
Speaker 1: being like he punched me, No, I didn't you punched

986
00:54:21,200 --> 00:54:25,399
Speaker 1: yourself with me like that? It was the full clothesline,

987
00:54:25,600 --> 00:54:27,440
Speaker 1: drag it into me and then interfere, and it was

988
00:54:27,480 --> 00:54:33,520
Speaker 1: that terrible, thick, turgid pause before the flag came out,

989
00:54:33,840 --> 00:54:37,560
Speaker 1: like I'm thinking, I'm thinking, and I'm gonna throw it.

990
00:54:37,560 --> 00:54:40,800
Speaker 1: It's unbelievably frustrating. So you know how I feel, Brownie

991
00:54:40,800 --> 00:54:43,440
Speaker 1: and Maddie about this. I think you have your moment

992
00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:45,680
Speaker 1: of shock and anger when the calls don't happen or

993
00:54:45,719 --> 00:54:48,400
Speaker 1: they do happen, But then you got to turn that

994
00:54:48,440 --> 00:54:51,960
Speaker 1: officiating page. It is. It is unbecoming as as a

995
00:54:51,960 --> 00:54:56,160
Speaker 1: fan base, as a human species to sit there and

996
00:54:56,280 --> 00:55:00,120
Speaker 1: wine and moan about the officiating. It never helps anybody

997
00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:03,800
Speaker 1: point to someone who spends an entire off season saying, man,

998
00:55:04,360 --> 00:55:06,839
Speaker 1: the officials just did us in, and I will show

999
00:55:06,840 --> 00:55:09,920
Speaker 1: you a loser. That is the lament of the loser

1000
00:55:10,280 --> 00:55:13,760
Speaker 1: to sit around initially get mad fun, but to dwell

1001
00:55:13,840 --> 00:55:15,920
Speaker 1: on it and dwell on it and just man, if

1002
00:55:15,920 --> 00:55:18,400
Speaker 1: you've just gotten a few calls, the bill's got housed

1003
00:55:18,560 --> 00:55:20,880
Speaker 1: in the first half. I believe that's the reason they

1004
00:55:21,560 --> 00:55:23,680
Speaker 1: losing this game, because they just they didn't have enough

1005
00:55:23,680 --> 00:55:26,759
Speaker 1: at the end. So I could not feel a more

1006
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:28,879
Speaker 1: body language coming from you, Browne that you are so

1007
00:55:28,920 --> 00:55:32,200
Speaker 1: sick of talking about the officiating. I've now puked it

1008
00:55:32,280 --> 00:55:35,400
Speaker 1: all over the show again. To move on, Maddie, if

1009
00:55:35,440 --> 00:55:37,840
Speaker 1: you are maybe we should all take our own advice

1010
00:55:37,840 --> 00:55:40,399
Speaker 1: and move on. Right, let's turn the page. I am

1011
00:55:40,480 --> 00:55:44,360
Speaker 1: doing it. No more complaining and whining about what happened

1012
00:55:44,520 --> 00:55:47,160
Speaker 1: in week fourteen, because after the season is over, are

1013
00:55:47,160 --> 00:55:49,120
Speaker 1: we going to look back and be like, well, remember

1014
00:55:49,239 --> 00:55:52,040
Speaker 1: week for keeping in the rip, suked against the news

1015
00:55:52,160 --> 00:55:55,120
Speaker 1: and we win the games where we're not going to

1016
00:55:55,160 --> 00:55:58,200
Speaker 1: say that. So, based on what you saw of the

1017
00:55:58,280 --> 00:56:01,560
Speaker 1: Bill's last game against the Buccaneers, first half, second half,

1018
00:56:01,640 --> 00:56:04,359
Speaker 1: we saw a different team. Do you still have faith

1019
00:56:04,440 --> 00:56:07,880
Speaker 1: that the Bills can be contenders in the playoffs following

1020
00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:10,759
Speaker 1: the loss to the Bucks? Absolutely, because they have one

1021
00:56:10,760 --> 00:56:13,479
Speaker 1: of the Avengers a quarterback, and this is a quarterback league.

1022
00:56:13,600 --> 00:56:15,960
Speaker 1: I remember we talked last week and we were saying,

1023
00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:18,840
Speaker 1: you know, should they just say screw it to this

1024
00:56:18,920 --> 00:56:22,320
Speaker 1: whole running game? They just kiss it off. It's a

1025
00:56:22,360 --> 00:56:24,239
Speaker 1: square peg in a round hole. And we've sat here

1026
00:56:24,280 --> 00:56:26,279
Speaker 1: for thirteen weeks saying to the Bills have a running game,

1027
00:56:26,640 --> 00:56:30,239
Speaker 1: maybe they just say don't run. And then, miraculously, for

1028
00:56:30,320 --> 00:56:32,560
Speaker 1: the first time in like thirty years, they went a

1029
00:56:32,600 --> 00:56:35,399
Speaker 1: whole first half without any running back runs. Alan looked

1030
00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:39,120
Speaker 1: incredible running it. I honestly think they found something. There

1031
00:56:39,280 --> 00:56:42,759
Speaker 1: is no tablet, no stone tablet that comes down from

1032
00:56:42,880 --> 00:56:45,680
Speaker 1: the Mount NFL that said you must have a running game.

1033
00:56:45,719 --> 00:56:48,239
Speaker 1: You must. I know it's ideal and it helps. They've

1034
00:56:48,280 --> 00:56:51,120
Speaker 1: tried for thirteen weeks. They can't run it. When they

1035
00:56:51,200 --> 00:56:53,920
Speaker 1: decided to stop running it outside of Alan, they went

1036
00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:56,399
Speaker 1: up and down the field against the world champs. So yes,

1037
00:56:56,480 --> 00:56:58,879
Speaker 1: I still believe in them. They have a quarterback who

1038
00:56:58,920 --> 00:57:00,600
Speaker 1: can go for three hundred and one hundred. He's the

1039
00:57:00,640 --> 00:57:02,560
Speaker 1: top five guy in the league. I think might Eve

1040
00:57:02,600 --> 00:57:05,879
Speaker 1: even have found an identity in the second half and listen.

1041
00:57:05,960 --> 00:57:07,479
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's enough to win the Super Bowl.

1042
00:57:07,480 --> 00:57:08,640
Speaker 1: I don't know if you can win three or four

1043
00:57:08,680 --> 00:57:11,840
Speaker 1: playoff games in January outside atmospheres without much running. But

1044
00:57:11,960 --> 00:57:14,080
Speaker 1: I know you can beat the Carolina Panthers. I know

1045
00:57:14,200 --> 00:57:16,360
Speaker 1: you can beat the Falcons, and I think you can

1046
00:57:16,400 --> 00:57:19,240
Speaker 1: beat the Patriots unless they play the Patriots again and

1047
00:57:19,360 --> 00:57:22,400
Speaker 1: it's seemingly two hundred mile an hour wins. I still

1048
00:57:22,480 --> 00:57:24,320
Speaker 1: think they're a better team with a better quarterback. I

1049
00:57:24,400 --> 00:57:26,920
Speaker 1: think that's how it's gonna go yeah. And that's and

1050
00:57:27,040 --> 00:57:31,280
Speaker 1: that's the thing. While you may not subscribe to Josh

1051
00:57:31,360 --> 00:57:37,000
Speaker 1: Allen doing everything as a long term sustainable approach on offense,

1052
00:57:37,680 --> 00:57:40,960
Speaker 1: you gotta do it now. You gotta win games, and

1053
00:57:41,040 --> 00:57:43,520
Speaker 1: you only got four left here. So the margin, the

1054
00:57:44,240 --> 00:57:48,080
Speaker 1: margins forever, they're gone. You gotta do anything you can

1055
00:57:48,280 --> 00:57:51,800
Speaker 1: to scrape, claw and everything else to win a football game.

1056
00:57:51,920 --> 00:57:54,400
Speaker 1: He is your best player. The problem is he's now

1057
00:57:54,520 --> 00:57:57,680
Speaker 1: got a sprained foot and might be a little iffy

1058
00:57:57,760 --> 00:58:01,320
Speaker 1: through the week. I mean, coach expressed timism that he'd

1059
00:58:01,400 --> 00:58:03,800
Speaker 1: have a chance to play on Sunday, but that that

1060
00:58:03,960 --> 00:58:07,400
Speaker 1: could throw a whole wrench in the works. Well, I

1061
00:58:07,520 --> 00:58:10,760
Speaker 1: look at it this way. If if you're gonna go down,

1062
00:58:11,120 --> 00:58:13,640
Speaker 1: if that does happen, and I still think that they'll win.

1063
00:58:13,680 --> 00:58:15,280
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna probably win three out of four

1064
00:58:15,280 --> 00:58:17,440
Speaker 1: to ficial season. I really do. If you're gonna go down,

1065
00:58:17,800 --> 00:58:19,840
Speaker 1: do you want to go down with Josh Allen going crazy,

1066
00:58:19,920 --> 00:58:21,080
Speaker 1: or do you want to go down? Hand it to

1067
00:58:21,120 --> 00:58:24,560
Speaker 1: single Parry and Matt Breda and two respects of those guys.

1068
00:58:24,640 --> 00:58:27,160
Speaker 1: Those are good pros and talented guys. I think we

1069
00:58:27,200 --> 00:58:30,040
Speaker 1: saw something in that second half, that you have a

1070
00:58:30,200 --> 00:58:32,960
Speaker 1: seminal player here with an incredible talent. I don't even

1071
00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:34,560
Speaker 1: care if he isn't the walking goog. I still think

1072
00:58:34,600 --> 00:58:37,400
Speaker 1: that's their best offense. I really do. How frustrating has

1073
00:58:37,440 --> 00:58:39,760
Speaker 1: it been to see them slog through this running thing?

1074
00:58:40,200 --> 00:58:43,800
Speaker 1: Wasn't the second half intoxicating and refreshing? And every of

1075
00:58:43,840 --> 00:58:45,960
Speaker 1: the football gods are shaking their finger on it and saying,

1076
00:58:46,160 --> 00:58:49,080
Speaker 1: how dare you do this? You must establish the runs

1077
00:58:49,120 --> 00:58:51,080
Speaker 1: through you like we're trying to win here, We're down

1078
00:58:51,160 --> 00:58:53,880
Speaker 1: three touchdown, we have a great quarterback. Why wouldn't we run?

1079
00:58:54,160 --> 00:58:57,160
Speaker 1: We're not going to I've come fully. I think I

1080
00:58:57,240 --> 00:58:59,320
Speaker 1: don't care if it's sustainable for the next year or

1081
00:58:59,360 --> 00:59:02,120
Speaker 1: the next decade. How about the next six weeks. I

1082
00:59:02,200 --> 00:59:03,960
Speaker 1: just unleashed the guy and just have him hook out.

1083
00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:06,120
Speaker 1: I think we can. I think a lot of people

1084
00:59:06,200 --> 00:59:09,600
Speaker 1: walk away from the Bucks loss not feeling too bad

1085
00:59:09,760 --> 00:59:11,920
Speaker 1: because of how this team played in the second half

1086
00:59:11,960 --> 00:59:14,360
Speaker 1: and the type of team we saw in the second half.

1087
00:59:14,400 --> 00:59:17,320
Speaker 1: I mean, inject that into my veins. With what the

1088
00:59:17,400 --> 00:59:20,760
Speaker 1: Buffalo offense and defense was able to do. And there's

1089
00:59:20,800 --> 00:59:23,560
Speaker 1: a lot of talk about taking this momentum into the

1090
00:59:23,640 --> 00:59:26,040
Speaker 1: rest of the season. Do you believe a team can

1091
00:59:26,120 --> 00:59:29,840
Speaker 1: take a sort of momentum or approach or or mental

1092
00:59:30,120 --> 00:59:34,560
Speaker 1: mindset into several games after what they did in one game.

1093
00:59:35,360 --> 00:59:37,080
Speaker 1: I hope so, And I think the sort of answer

1094
00:59:37,200 --> 00:59:39,040
Speaker 1: is yes, Mattie. I was listening to I just saw

1095
00:59:39,080 --> 00:59:41,200
Speaker 1: a clip fro Dawson Knox, who was my favorite player

1096
00:59:41,240 --> 00:59:43,080
Speaker 1: on the team and who looked amazing and who I

1097
00:59:43,120 --> 00:59:45,080
Speaker 1: thought was going to score on that catch and run

1098
00:59:45,120 --> 00:59:47,280
Speaker 1: at the end of the game, and he was just

1099
00:59:48,000 --> 00:59:51,200
Speaker 1: he was just singing about number seventeen. That's our general,

1100
00:59:51,560 --> 00:59:54,960
Speaker 1: that's our fearless leader. We believe in him. Listen. It

1101
00:59:55,120 --> 00:59:58,000
Speaker 1: could be that in that second half, despite the loss,

1102
00:59:58,480 --> 01:00:01,320
Speaker 1: they pushed the World Champs and shocked them like Brady

1103
01:00:01,400 --> 01:00:03,840
Speaker 1: was shooking that and Mulano was all over him. He's

1104
01:00:03,840 --> 01:00:06,160
Speaker 1: thrown bad in completions and he made a play at

1105
01:00:06,200 --> 01:00:08,720
Speaker 1: the end, and he's Brady and he's great. They pushed

1106
01:00:08,800 --> 01:00:11,400
Speaker 1: the champs to overtime. Brady doesn't blow leads like that.

1107
01:00:11,560 --> 01:00:14,120
Speaker 1: He doesn't blow twenty one point leads. They did it.

1108
01:00:14,480 --> 01:00:17,080
Speaker 1: And if you can take something from a loss about man,

1109
01:00:17,160 --> 01:00:19,200
Speaker 1: we might have found something today and that was maybe

1110
01:00:19,320 --> 01:00:21,760
Speaker 1: like the most badass loss we've seen by this team

1111
01:00:21,800 --> 01:00:23,919
Speaker 1: in the last ten years. Maybe they can and maybe

1112
01:00:23,960 --> 01:00:25,880
Speaker 1: they open up a forty point went on Carolina. I

1113
01:00:25,960 --> 01:00:30,040
Speaker 1: don't know, but it's Carolina and then it's go to Foxboro.

1114
01:00:30,400 --> 01:00:32,400
Speaker 1: So that's there's no rest for this team. I do

1115
01:00:32,560 --> 01:00:34,840
Speaker 1: believe they found something in that second half, though, and

1116
01:00:34,960 --> 01:00:37,080
Speaker 1: I think that they were inspired as out I was watching.

1117
01:00:37,360 --> 01:00:39,680
Speaker 1: So you look at the five and a Carolina Panthers

1118
01:00:39,800 --> 01:00:42,320
Speaker 1: losers have eight of their last ten, currently on a

1119
01:00:42,400 --> 01:00:46,000
Speaker 1: three game losing streak. Their offenses and shambles their platooning quarterbacks,

1120
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:49,000
Speaker 1: they're firing coordinators and you're like, all right, is it

1121
01:00:49,120 --> 01:00:51,520
Speaker 1: you know, Ripe for the taking? What do they have

1122
01:00:51,600 --> 01:00:53,800
Speaker 1: to play for? They're still in the playoff race in

1123
01:00:53,880 --> 01:00:57,360
Speaker 1: the NFC and then Arizona loses last night to tighten

1124
01:00:57,480 --> 01:01:03,280
Speaker 1: things up over there, Kyle, have the NFL executives achieved

1125
01:01:03,400 --> 01:01:07,520
Speaker 1: the ultimate in NFL parody because I cannot remember a

1126
01:01:07,640 --> 01:01:11,720
Speaker 1: time going into Week fifteen that we only had what

1127
01:01:12,040 --> 01:01:15,520
Speaker 1: four teams eliminated from playoff contention in the entire league

1128
01:01:15,600 --> 01:01:19,120
Speaker 1: in Week fifteen. It's amazing, and that's you know what

1129
01:01:19,160 --> 01:01:22,000
Speaker 1: I like most about it. There's gonna be like an

1130
01:01:22,080 --> 01:01:25,320
Speaker 1: asinine team that makes the playoffs. I like an uncunch

1131
01:01:25,400 --> 01:01:27,880
Speaker 1: rule team will be in the playoffs. And I'm looking

1132
01:01:27,920 --> 01:01:30,440
Speaker 1: at eat like we could have the Eagles in the playoffs.

1133
01:01:30,520 --> 01:01:32,960
Speaker 1: We could have the Saints, we could have the Raiders,

1134
01:01:33,080 --> 01:01:35,840
Speaker 1: we could have the Dolphins. Yeah, like the laughing stock

1135
01:01:35,880 --> 01:01:39,080
Speaker 1: of the league. It could happen, and it never mind

1136
01:01:39,120 --> 01:01:41,320
Speaker 1: could It's going to happen. There is going to be

1137
01:01:41,440 --> 01:01:44,640
Speaker 1: a hilarious team in the playoffs. And not just hilarious

1138
01:01:44,640 --> 01:01:46,760
Speaker 1: because we've seen you know, the seven and nineteen that

1139
01:01:46,840 --> 01:01:49,280
Speaker 1: gets in, we'ven't seen them win, but just like a

1140
01:01:49,440 --> 01:01:53,880
Speaker 1: woe begone awful Jay Leno monologue punchline type team from

1141
01:01:53,920 --> 01:01:56,960
Speaker 1: September on October will be in the playoffs this year.

1142
01:01:57,240 --> 01:01:59,040
Speaker 1: And it's just been the wheel and pick which one

1143
01:01:59,440 --> 01:02:02,840
Speaker 1: I like. For example, I still think like the Vikings

1144
01:02:02,920 --> 01:02:04,640
Speaker 1: have a thing to say in this the NFC because

1145
01:02:04,680 --> 01:02:09,240
Speaker 1: their ceiling is so high. I'm fascinated to see how

1146
01:02:09,280 --> 01:02:11,040
Speaker 1: the Eagles are going to be coming off of ye

1147
01:02:11,120 --> 01:02:12,840
Speaker 1: like they run the ball well and like they got

1148
01:02:12,880 --> 01:02:15,400
Speaker 1: this kind of cookie coach. They believe in the Eagles,

1149
01:02:15,520 --> 01:02:17,880
Speaker 1: and the Vikings like the Vikings lost them the Lions,

1150
01:02:17,960 --> 01:02:20,520
Speaker 1: and I still think they can make the playoffs. And

1151
01:02:20,640 --> 01:02:22,560
Speaker 1: I want to take this point a step further. A

1152
01:02:22,600 --> 01:02:25,240
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago on Good Morning Football, you guys

1153
01:02:25,280 --> 01:02:28,240
Speaker 1: were talking about the MVP race and how at Week

1154
01:02:28,360 --> 01:02:31,040
Speaker 1: thirteen or Week twelve, whenever it was, you guys were like,

1155
01:02:31,280 --> 01:02:34,400
Speaker 1: this thing is still wide open. I cannot remember one

1156
01:02:34,520 --> 01:02:37,640
Speaker 1: point or one year where we were heading into Week

1157
01:02:37,760 --> 01:02:41,960
Speaker 1: thirteen and we couldn't crown a true MVP guy right

1158
01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:45,320
Speaker 1: now because of how wide open it is. Maybe because

1159
01:02:45,440 --> 01:02:48,120
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray went out for a couple of weeks, or

1160
01:02:48,200 --> 01:02:50,720
Speaker 1: because the up and down play the quarterbacks, but this

1161
01:02:50,960 --> 01:02:53,160
Speaker 1: year has has just kind of been all over the place.

1162
01:02:53,840 --> 01:02:56,520
Speaker 1: It's really fun and we actually, I think we got

1163
01:02:56,600 --> 01:03:00,640
Speaker 1: a little dollar of clarity last night. I mean breaking news.

1164
01:03:00,680 --> 01:03:02,800
Speaker 1: Kylomo is not one of the MVP. It's a fun story.

1165
01:03:02,880 --> 01:03:05,080
Speaker 1: He's a really fun player to watch and he's crazy talented.

1166
01:03:05,560 --> 01:03:07,600
Speaker 1: In a couple of Nashally televised game, he threw a

1167
01:03:07,680 --> 01:03:10,000
Speaker 1: game ending interception against the Packers, then he threw two

1168
01:03:10,040 --> 01:03:12,520
Speaker 1: against the Rams. He's young, he hasn't put his time

1169
01:03:12,560 --> 01:03:14,760
Speaker 1: in quote unquote. I don't think they're gonna voe for him.

1170
01:03:14,760 --> 01:03:16,360
Speaker 1: I think he lost it last night. Great player. I

1171
01:03:16,440 --> 01:03:18,040
Speaker 1: don't relish say it, but I think he lost it,

1172
01:03:18,240 --> 01:03:22,360
Speaker 1: which means you have the Rogers thing, which very deserving,

1173
01:03:22,560 --> 01:03:24,480
Speaker 1: very excellently. When he was out for one game, the

1174
01:03:24,520 --> 01:03:26,840
Speaker 1: Packers completely fell apart. But I think there's gonna be

1175
01:03:26,840 --> 01:03:29,800
Speaker 1: a huge voter prejudice against him for a narriat of reasons,

1176
01:03:30,200 --> 01:03:32,680
Speaker 1: all of which are off the field. And then you got,

1177
01:03:32,880 --> 01:03:36,520
Speaker 1: you know, the golden boy in Tampa who also has

1178
01:03:36,600 --> 01:03:39,000
Speaker 1: I think, kind of the Michael Jordan factory working against them,

1179
01:03:39,000 --> 01:03:40,960
Speaker 1: where it's like, we're gonna give it to this guy.

1180
01:03:41,160 --> 01:03:44,360
Speaker 1: Like again, I think he might be deserving, but how

1181
01:03:44,440 --> 01:03:45,920
Speaker 1: many times do I have to vote for it? He

1182
01:03:46,080 --> 01:03:48,000
Speaker 1: might win it because I don't. I've never bought the

1183
01:03:48,080 --> 01:03:50,320
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor thing. The running backs my favorite position in

1184
01:03:50,360 --> 01:03:51,960
Speaker 1: the league, but I just don't think it's short of

1185
01:03:52,000 --> 01:03:53,920
Speaker 1: a you know, a two thousand yards season on a

1186
01:03:54,040 --> 01:03:56,520
Speaker 1: runaway playoff favorite, neither of which is gonna happen for

1187
01:03:56,560 --> 01:03:58,800
Speaker 1: the Colts. T J. Watt seems to be hurt. I

1188
01:03:58,800 --> 01:04:01,880
Speaker 1: don't think that's happening. I look, I'm very charmed and

1189
01:04:02,000 --> 01:04:06,080
Speaker 1: supportive of the Cooper Cup thing. It's really cool. But again,

1190
01:04:06,560 --> 01:04:08,080
Speaker 1: I think for him to do it, it would have

1191
01:04:08,200 --> 01:04:10,520
Speaker 1: to be like, oh, the Rams are fifteen and two,

1192
01:04:10,680 --> 01:04:13,760
Speaker 1: Andy broke Terry Rice's record. Maybe he deserves it, just

1193
01:04:13,840 --> 01:04:15,760
Speaker 1: a matter whether he'll be getting it. So I guess

1194
01:04:15,800 --> 01:04:18,000
Speaker 1: that's my long way of saying, good God. I think

1195
01:04:18,040 --> 01:04:20,600
Speaker 1: it might be Brady again. I don't vote, but I

1196
01:04:20,760 --> 01:04:23,320
Speaker 1: only read the tea leaves and I think it might

1197
01:04:23,400 --> 01:04:25,720
Speaker 1: be him again. I'm sorry, but yeah, sorry. You dance

1198
01:04:25,760 --> 01:04:27,120
Speaker 1: around it for a while, and I know why you

1199
01:04:27,200 --> 01:04:29,520
Speaker 1: did that because you're on Buffalo airwaves. I totally get it.

1200
01:04:29,640 --> 01:04:33,000
Speaker 1: Nice job, Kyle, that was I supposed to do. Poor Juice.

1201
01:04:34,440 --> 01:04:36,400
Speaker 1: Put some lemon juice on it, have fun storm in

1202
01:04:36,440 --> 01:04:39,560
Speaker 1: the castle. I do think though, in our in our

1203
01:04:39,640 --> 01:04:43,160
Speaker 1: very candid conversation here, we came up with a with

1204
01:04:43,280 --> 01:04:45,240
Speaker 1: a show idea for you guys. So you're gonna have

1205
01:04:45,280 --> 01:04:47,800
Speaker 1: to talk to your producers about this. I seriously think

1206
01:04:48,400 --> 01:04:50,680
Speaker 1: you should spin the playoff wheel of fun. You should

1207
01:04:50,680 --> 01:04:53,640
Speaker 1: just get a giant wheel, spin it and just have

1208
01:04:54,360 --> 01:04:57,280
Speaker 1: silly team makes the playoffs, and then one each of

1209
01:04:57,360 --> 01:05:01,920
Speaker 1: you discuss the merits of why it's not impossible for

1210
01:05:02,440 --> 01:05:06,720
Speaker 1: team ABC d X to get in Spin, Wheel Spin,

1211
01:05:06,800 --> 01:05:10,280
Speaker 1: bring say Jack in if you need to. Brownie, you

1212
01:05:10,320 --> 01:05:12,040
Speaker 1: know how we were saying that the Bills fans should

1213
01:05:12,040 --> 01:05:14,280
Speaker 1: be offended the Sefon Diggs does not get the star calls.

1214
01:05:14,640 --> 01:05:16,760
Speaker 1: I'm offended. Do you think the Good Morning Football program

1215
01:05:16,840 --> 01:05:19,960
Speaker 1: does not have a bedrock of hard news, very serious coverage,

1216
01:05:19,960 --> 01:05:22,000
Speaker 1: and that we would result to high jinks like a

1217
01:05:22,120 --> 01:05:25,080
Speaker 1: spinning wheel. It's actually a great idea and I'm gonna

1218
01:05:25,280 --> 01:05:26,960
Speaker 1: email the producers right now. We should do it. I'll

1219
01:05:26,960 --> 01:05:29,200
Speaker 1: give you credit, Brownie. Spin Wheel Spin, I mean, just

1220
01:05:29,400 --> 01:05:31,920
Speaker 1: let it go. I mean, heck, you got who was

1221
01:05:31,960 --> 01:05:34,520
Speaker 1: it Rachel Bonetta and football pads to cute you for

1222
01:05:34,720 --> 01:05:38,320
Speaker 1: angry runs? I mean a wheel, a wheel with potential

1223
01:05:38,480 --> 01:05:41,440
Speaker 1: crazy playoff teams. I mean that's that's like two degrees

1224
01:05:41,800 --> 01:05:43,760
Speaker 1: better than that, like in terms of crazy. And you

1225
01:05:43,840 --> 01:05:46,000
Speaker 1: know who we got now, have you, guys? Yes, we

1226
01:05:46,080 --> 01:05:49,600
Speaker 1: got Brian Baumgartner's in at the table like the Kevin

1227
01:05:49,840 --> 01:05:52,920
Speaker 1: from the office the accountant is in today. He's in tomorrow,

1228
01:05:52,960 --> 01:05:54,840
Speaker 1: and not like as a guest. He's sitting there in

1229
01:05:54,880 --> 01:05:56,880
Speaker 1: the burliston seat, like giving his thoughts on the Rams

1230
01:05:56,960 --> 01:05:59,240
Speaker 1: running game. And he's excellent. Yeah, he's good. I'm just

1231
01:05:59,480 --> 01:06:01,320
Speaker 1: you know, I just think it should have been a

1232
01:06:01,400 --> 01:06:04,760
Speaker 1: prerequisite that chili had. You guys had to be laughing

1233
01:06:04,800 --> 01:06:06,800
Speaker 1: up chili on set at least for one segment. I

1234
01:06:06,880 --> 01:06:10,760
Speaker 1: mean at least one point, I know. And somebody made

1235
01:06:10,840 --> 01:06:13,960
Speaker 1: the terrible joke that Kevin's chili is what really gives

1236
01:06:13,960 --> 01:06:15,760
Speaker 1: you the angry runs. I said, how dare you? How

1237
01:06:15,880 --> 01:06:19,600
Speaker 1: dare you defy my segment like that? It's disgusting and

1238
01:06:19,720 --> 01:06:23,560
Speaker 1: deplorable and literal potty humor. So there's lots of ideas bouncing.

1239
01:06:23,600 --> 01:06:26,560
Speaker 1: All right. Oh my gosh, I've got to say, I

1240
01:06:26,640 --> 01:06:29,680
Speaker 1: do watch that chili scene any any time I'm filling down.

1241
01:06:29,880 --> 01:06:32,480
Speaker 1: You just queue it up on YouTube. It definitely makes

1242
01:06:32,480 --> 01:06:35,920
Speaker 1: you laugh. But since we're talking about just how crazy

1243
01:06:36,000 --> 01:06:38,040
Speaker 1: this NFL season has been, do you do you have

1244
01:06:38,120 --> 01:06:42,240
Speaker 1: a crazy take to take us into the last four

1245
01:06:42,360 --> 01:06:47,200
Speaker 1: weeks of football that we're going to see. M Well,

1246
01:06:47,280 --> 01:06:52,520
Speaker 1: I guess, Maddie, the last four weeks the crazy take

1247
01:06:52,680 --> 01:06:55,320
Speaker 1: would be, well, it's kind of kind of have to

1248
01:06:55,360 --> 01:06:58,440
Speaker 1: probably reference to that just wild AFC that we've been

1249
01:06:58,480 --> 01:07:01,080
Speaker 1: looking at that you know what, the two teams that

1250
01:07:01,160 --> 01:07:02,840
Speaker 1: are most fascinating to me. And I don't know how

1251
01:07:02,920 --> 01:07:04,920
Speaker 1: crazy to take this is it's just two teams and

1252
01:07:04,960 --> 01:07:07,080
Speaker 1: they're twin brothers and it's the same team just with

1253
01:07:07,160 --> 01:07:09,280
Speaker 1: different colors. That it's the Chargers and the Bengals. Like

1254
01:07:09,640 --> 01:07:12,880
Speaker 1: they're very, very and amusing and entertaining to me because

1255
01:07:13,360 --> 01:07:16,800
Speaker 1: both of them just feel like they're a little like prepubescent.

1256
01:07:16,880 --> 01:07:19,680
Speaker 1: They're in their adolescents, that they're not quite adults yet.

1257
01:07:19,920 --> 01:07:21,880
Speaker 1: You can see that they're talented and if you watch

1258
01:07:21,960 --> 01:07:24,240
Speaker 1: them work out in the gym, they got those huge

1259
01:07:24,320 --> 01:07:25,840
Speaker 1: feet and you know they're gonna grow into them when

1260
01:07:25,840 --> 01:07:27,600
Speaker 1: they're gonna like they have versity. Coach, like keep an

1261
01:07:27,600 --> 01:07:30,120
Speaker 1: eye on those Bengals and those Chargers, but they're just

1262
01:07:30,200 --> 01:07:33,400
Speaker 1: not ready. There's there's so mistake prone, they're so erratic.

1263
01:07:33,480 --> 01:07:35,800
Speaker 1: They kind of got that like wild Labrador field to them.

1264
01:07:36,200 --> 01:07:40,360
Speaker 1: So I guess the craziest take would be one of these,

1265
01:07:40,520 --> 01:07:42,320
Speaker 1: one of those figures that out in the next month

1266
01:07:42,440 --> 01:07:44,560
Speaker 1: and like has some like I wonder if we're gonna

1267
01:07:44,560 --> 01:07:46,680
Speaker 1: be sitting here when in the AFC title Game happens

1268
01:07:47,120 --> 01:07:49,360
Speaker 1: and someone blows our mind that they're playing in it.

1269
01:07:49,520 --> 01:07:51,840
Speaker 1: You know, never mind Buffalo or Kansas City or any

1270
01:07:51,880 --> 01:07:54,320
Speaker 1: of these other teams. Like, could we be sitting here

1271
01:07:54,400 --> 01:07:58,160
Speaker 1: and Cleveland is in the title game? I doubt it.

1272
01:07:58,360 --> 01:08:01,680
Speaker 1: But the AFC is so strange, and it's such a

1273
01:08:01,760 --> 01:08:04,840
Speaker 1: bizarre mix of ups and downs that I think somebody

1274
01:08:05,320 --> 01:08:07,760
Speaker 1: again asked a nine to seem mean, like the Chargers

1275
01:08:07,840 --> 01:08:09,760
Speaker 1: could be in the title game this year. I don't know. Yeah,

1276
01:08:09,880 --> 01:08:12,840
Speaker 1: I would say the Chargers and Bengals, even though you

1277
01:08:12,880 --> 01:08:14,720
Speaker 1: put the image in my head that you're just learning

1278
01:08:14,760 --> 01:08:20,040
Speaker 1: how to shave. Yeah, they have quarterbacks that can do it.

1279
01:08:20,240 --> 01:08:24,160
Speaker 1: I mean between Joe Cool and Justin Herbert throwing rocket

1280
01:08:24,200 --> 01:08:28,080
Speaker 1: ball sixty yards in the air. They have that. The

1281
01:08:28,240 --> 01:08:32,679
Speaker 1: Browns don't. I'm sorry. I mean, Baker Mayfield's toughest nails

1282
01:08:32,760 --> 01:08:36,120
Speaker 1: kind of player, but to me, he's just not it.

1283
01:08:36,360 --> 01:08:40,040
Speaker 1: They have everything else that they need. I don't know

1284
01:08:40,200 --> 01:08:44,519
Speaker 1: that they have the quarterback. The asting north is so hard.

1285
01:08:45,040 --> 01:08:46,840
Speaker 1: I was asked that question on the show yesterday. Who's

1286
01:08:46,840 --> 01:08:49,000
Speaker 1: the I don't know. I have no idea. What do

1287
01:08:49,080 --> 01:08:51,200
Speaker 1: you think? Here's where I go, though. If you can't

1288
01:08:51,240 --> 01:08:54,719
Speaker 1: pick a team, and I can't, you gotta start eliminating teams.

1289
01:08:54,960 --> 01:08:56,519
Speaker 1: Try to do it that way, so I look at

1290
01:08:56,560 --> 01:08:59,519
Speaker 1: it this way. The Steelers defense against the Vikings the

1291
01:08:59,560 --> 01:09:01,040
Speaker 1: other night was the worst I've seen it in my

1292
01:09:01,320 --> 01:09:03,519
Speaker 1: entire adult life, maybe my entire life. It was just

1293
01:09:03,840 --> 01:09:06,040
Speaker 1: they didn't even show up and T J. Watts banged up.

1294
01:09:06,479 --> 01:09:09,559
Speaker 1: I can't pick Pittsburgh because of that. Um I'm looking

1295
01:09:09,560 --> 01:09:12,080
Speaker 1: at Baltimore. Lamar seems to be banged up, and even

1296
01:09:12,080 --> 01:09:14,680
Speaker 1: if he's not, If Lamar is at ninety five, I

1297
01:09:14,760 --> 01:09:16,720
Speaker 1: think that's a problem because he just does everything for

1298
01:09:16,800 --> 01:09:18,439
Speaker 1: that team. I need him on a hundred. So put

1299
01:09:18,520 --> 01:09:22,360
Speaker 1: Baltimore out. Cincinnati just lost two straight home games in December.

1300
01:09:22,680 --> 01:09:25,200
Speaker 1: Like playoff teams don't do that. They just don't, um

1301
01:09:25,800 --> 01:09:28,599
Speaker 1: So Brownie. Like, I'm sitting here, I'm trying to think

1302
01:09:28,600 --> 01:09:31,479
Speaker 1: of why Cleveland would be the team. They have Garrett

1303
01:09:31,479 --> 01:09:33,360
Speaker 1: and they have Clowney, and both of them look ferocious

1304
01:09:33,479 --> 01:09:35,960
Speaker 1: last week, and it's like they that that game last week,

1305
01:09:35,960 --> 01:09:37,519
Speaker 1: it looked like they had two t J. Watts. And

1306
01:09:37,720 --> 01:09:40,400
Speaker 1: I know Bakers totally flawed. They run and they have

1307
01:09:40,479 --> 01:09:43,799
Speaker 1: a pass rush, and so just by default, which feels

1308
01:09:43,880 --> 01:09:47,479
Speaker 1: feels so lame and backhanded, I have to pick Cleveland. Wow. Yeah,

1309
01:09:47,520 --> 01:09:50,720
Speaker 1: it's interesting because I yeah, I can see how you

1310
01:09:50,800 --> 01:09:53,519
Speaker 1: get there. Who do you like, who's your champion in

1311
01:09:53,640 --> 01:09:59,599
Speaker 1: the afc AC North. I'm a Borough guy. I'm on board. Man.

1312
01:10:00,320 --> 01:10:02,719
Speaker 1: If they're flawed, I mean there's no question they're flawed.

1313
01:10:03,680 --> 01:10:05,559
Speaker 1: Protection is still an issue. I mean they can't even

1314
01:10:05,640 --> 01:10:07,880
Speaker 1: protect him well and he's still doing all of this.

1315
01:10:09,160 --> 01:10:11,640
Speaker 1: And I think their defense is a little better if

1316
01:10:11,680 --> 01:10:14,320
Speaker 1: Hendrickson's out for I mean I think it was just

1317
01:10:14,439 --> 01:10:16,640
Speaker 1: backspas him, So I think he's bad. I think they

1318
01:10:16,680 --> 01:10:19,280
Speaker 1: have a better pass rush than they get credit for.

1319
01:10:19,880 --> 01:10:23,040
Speaker 1: And to me, Burrows burrow his nails when when the

1320
01:10:23,160 --> 01:10:26,680
Speaker 1: game gets tight, I mean he's he's looses a goose man.

1321
01:10:26,840 --> 01:10:31,000
Speaker 1: So I just like his moxie. I think it lifts

1322
01:10:31,120 --> 01:10:34,200
Speaker 1: the level of play of the guys around him. And

1323
01:10:34,439 --> 01:10:37,519
Speaker 1: while I agree with you, I think they are, you know,

1324
01:10:37,640 --> 01:10:40,720
Speaker 1: the big labrador puppy that has not grown into it.

1325
01:10:41,240 --> 01:10:43,360
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're smart enough to realize they're

1326
01:10:43,400 --> 01:10:45,040
Speaker 1: not supposed to be there, if you know what I mean,

1327
01:10:46,000 --> 01:10:47,840
Speaker 1: I do. Sometimes you see those young teams are like,

1328
01:10:47,840 --> 01:10:50,360
Speaker 1: what the hell are you guys doing here? I just think, look,

1329
01:10:51,200 --> 01:10:54,679
Speaker 1: they've all too straight. Then we love them and it's exciting.

1330
01:10:54,800 --> 01:10:57,160
Speaker 1: I feel like the Bengals have this optics thing what's

1331
01:10:57,200 --> 01:10:59,160
Speaker 1: great for them. It's like they're like a fast and

1332
01:10:59,240 --> 01:11:01,840
Speaker 1: the furious look like it's really exciting and we've got

1333
01:11:01,920 --> 01:11:04,120
Speaker 1: great highlights and sexy people, but like, is it that

1334
01:11:04,240 --> 01:11:06,519
Speaker 1: good really? I I don't really know. It's like a

1335
01:11:06,560 --> 01:11:10,040
Speaker 1: Mountain Dew commercial or something that energy you gotta win

1336
01:11:10,439 --> 01:11:13,519
Speaker 1: either that if they're driving off the cliff. Yeah, like

1337
01:11:13,560 --> 01:11:15,560
Speaker 1: whether they're jumping out with a parachute or something like,

1338
01:11:15,640 --> 01:11:18,040
Speaker 1: it's it's a lot of that. Like they're very exciting,

1339
01:11:18,080 --> 01:11:19,920
Speaker 1: but like we gotta get some winds here in December

1340
01:11:19,960 --> 01:11:22,320
Speaker 1: and more than exciting. Well, listen, Kyle, I think we've

1341
01:11:22,840 --> 01:11:25,240
Speaker 1: we've we've allotted our time with you, so we thank

1342
01:11:25,320 --> 01:11:28,120
Speaker 1: you for it. And um, yeah give give the Buffalo

1343
01:11:28,160 --> 01:11:31,599
Speaker 1: Airport Twitter or follow. I know Maddie follows them. They're

1344
01:11:31,600 --> 01:11:34,920
Speaker 1: pretty entertaining. Um and as long as football season's going on,

1345
01:11:35,000 --> 01:11:37,000
Speaker 1: they'll probably have something of interest for you, so so

1346
01:11:37,160 --> 01:11:39,800
Speaker 1: keep an eye out for them. That's great. I didn't

1347
01:11:39,800 --> 01:11:42,559
Speaker 1: know airports could be funny. I'll be looking forward. Look

1348
01:11:42,600 --> 01:11:45,200
Speaker 1: at that buffaler, check your lost and found all the

1349
01:11:45,280 --> 01:11:48,760
Speaker 1: penalty flags seem to have gone missing Winkmoji and I

1350
01:11:48,920 --> 01:11:52,439
Speaker 1: just can't wait until the local DMB starts weighing with

1351
01:11:52,520 --> 01:11:55,320
Speaker 1: their one liners. Then we know we've really arrived. Thank you. Well, yeah,

1352
01:11:55,360 --> 01:11:57,960
Speaker 1: we will have jumped the shark at that point in time. Kyle,

1353
01:11:58,040 --> 01:12:01,200
Speaker 1: always a pleasure. We'll catch up with Christmas week, get

1354
01:12:01,240 --> 01:12:05,000
Speaker 1: your shopping done, and we'll see you next Tuesday. All right,

1355
01:12:05,040 --> 01:12:07,000
Speaker 1: my friends, go Bill, see you later. Yeah, we'll see it.

1356
01:12:07,080 --> 01:12:10,360
Speaker 1: That's Kyle Brandt joining us here on One Bill's Live,

1357
01:12:10,680 --> 01:12:14,200
Speaker 1: as he does each and every Tuesday. How are you doing,

1358
01:12:14,280 --> 01:12:19,680
Speaker 1: Maddie with your with your Christmas shopping? Because I'm I'm

1359
01:12:19,720 --> 01:12:21,880
Speaker 1: in good shape for the most part. I am not

1360
01:12:22,080 --> 01:12:26,000
Speaker 1: in good shape. I'm in terrible shape. I realized how

1361
01:12:26,080 --> 01:12:29,640
Speaker 1: much I have to accomplish this weekend. I'm not excited

1362
01:12:29,640 --> 01:12:33,160
Speaker 1: about it. I'm trying to be good and do like

1363
01:12:33,280 --> 01:12:36,400
Speaker 1: all my shopping locally, so that means that I need

1364
01:12:36,439 --> 01:12:38,519
Speaker 1: to go in and out of a lot of stores

1365
01:12:38,680 --> 01:12:42,280
Speaker 1: this weekend and find some winners. So we'll see, we'll

1366
01:12:42,280 --> 01:12:44,080
Speaker 1: see how I do. You're better than me. I'm an

1367
01:12:44,120 --> 01:12:47,200
Speaker 1: online shopper one hundred percent. But we have to take

1368
01:12:47,240 --> 01:12:49,840
Speaker 1: a break here as we leave you with the AFC

1369
01:12:50,000 --> 01:12:52,599
Speaker 1: playoff picture, which is very jumbled and it is very

1370
01:12:52,640 --> 01:12:55,679
Speaker 1: troubling to see Miami at six and seven. I thought

1371
01:12:55,720 --> 01:12:58,000
Speaker 1: we had left them for dead, but here we are

1372
01:12:58,200 --> 01:13:00,880
Speaker 1: in week fifteen and it's still very tight race with

1373
01:13:01,040 --> 01:13:06,000
Speaker 1: Miami just a game out. Unbelievable. I like, I don't

1374
01:13:06,040 --> 01:13:08,840
Speaker 1: think you could have asked a thousand people in week

1375
01:13:09,040 --> 01:13:12,040
Speaker 1: nine when they were like two and seven and they

1376
01:13:12,080 --> 01:13:14,040
Speaker 1: would have said, no way, Jose. But here they are

1377
01:13:14,080 --> 01:13:17,920
Speaker 1: at six and seven, a game behind Buffalo. Just absolutely nuts.

1378
01:13:18,160 --> 01:13:20,760

Speaker 1: of Coffee with the Bills, presented by Tim Horton's Guys.

1398
01:14:41,280 --> 01:14:43,760
Speaker 1: I have a couple questions to see how well you

1399
01:14:43,880 --> 01:14:46,760
Speaker 1: know each other since we've got the Pittsburgh connection here.

1400
01:14:47,080 --> 01:14:49,080
Speaker 1: When did you guys meet for the first time and

1401
01:14:49,560 --> 01:14:52,439
Speaker 1: what has the relationship been like since you guys first

1402
01:14:52,560 --> 01:14:54,639
Speaker 1: met and then went to school together too. Right, we're

1403
01:14:54,680 --> 01:14:56,160
Speaker 1: from the same side of town, but there's like a

1404
01:14:56,280 --> 01:14:58,800
Speaker 1: there's two teams over there. They played for Stow Rocks,

1405
01:14:58,800 --> 01:15:02,880
Speaker 1: I play for Watch Pittsburgh and they came over to

1406
01:15:03,040 --> 01:15:05,519
Speaker 1: It's like literally like a little small bridge that you

1407
01:15:05,640 --> 01:15:08,000
Speaker 1: cross over and our field is right there and their

1408
01:15:08,040 --> 01:15:10,000
Speaker 1: field is right on the other side. But like they

1409
01:15:10,120 --> 01:15:11,960
Speaker 1: came over and we had a scrimmage that and I

1410
01:15:12,040 --> 01:15:13,519
Speaker 1: think that was one of the first times we met.

1411
01:15:13,760 --> 01:15:15,800
Speaker 1: Were you guys friends before that or was it really

1412
01:15:15,920 --> 01:15:17,920
Speaker 1: once you started playing at pit together that you're like,

1413
01:15:18,000 --> 01:15:20,400
Speaker 1: all right, yeah, our side of town is really like

1414
01:15:20,600 --> 01:15:22,400
Speaker 1: it's not that big, so you pretty much know a

1415
01:15:22,479 --> 01:15:25,000
Speaker 1: lot of people that's that's from that side of town.

1416
01:15:25,080 --> 01:15:27,439
Speaker 1: So we knew each other pretty much since that. And

1417
01:15:27,640 --> 01:15:30,000
Speaker 1: on getting the pit, he was a year ahead of me,

1418
01:15:30,120 --> 01:15:33,640
Speaker 1: so just happening him there just basically being able to

1419
01:15:33,720 --> 01:15:35,439
Speaker 1: like show me the rope, just what to do, what

1420
01:15:35,600 --> 01:15:39,479
Speaker 1: not to do. Um. Just also the same processes. Were

1467
01:18:24,320 --> 01:18:29,120

01:18:39,240 --> 01:18:43,160
Speaker 1: Buffalo because hot and Buffalo is like hot hot, It's

1472

Speaker 1: not like just hot, you know what I mean? Yeah,

1473
01:18:45,400 --> 01:18:48,639
Speaker 1: see that, I'm gonna stay far away from that over there.

1474
01:18:48,880 --> 01:18:52,120
Speaker 1: Actually I started a wing review series that I did

1475
01:18:52,200 --> 01:18:54,799
Speaker 1: one episode though so far. Did you have another comment

1476
01:18:54,880 --> 01:18:57,240
Speaker 1: on on? Yeah, I gotta tell the people back home

1477
01:18:57,360 --> 01:18:59,720
Speaker 1: that he's becoming a blue cheese guy. So y'all gotta

1478
01:18:59,760 --> 01:19:03,639
Speaker 1: w Yeah, I gotta watch out for this dude. He's

1479
01:19:03,680 --> 01:19:05,880
Speaker 1: a blue cheese guy. Are you blue cheese guy? Now?

1480
01:19:06,000 --> 01:19:10,120
Speaker 1: Dane Never, Maddie Never. I started off as a ranch

1481
01:19:10,240 --> 01:19:15,880
Speaker 1: gall myself, but the blue cheese tastes different here. You

1482
01:19:15,960 --> 01:19:18,479
Speaker 1: can't lie, so the same thing. We'll finish off with

1483
01:19:18,560 --> 01:19:22,000
Speaker 1: this question, what's the best part now being teammates here

1484
01:19:22,160 --> 01:19:25,840
Speaker 1: in Buffalo? I think the best part for me is

1485
01:19:25,920 --> 01:19:28,320
Speaker 1: just like the history we got, you know. I mean,

1486
01:19:28,439 --> 01:19:31,800
Speaker 1: that's that's that's obvious. But it's like just coming up

1487
01:19:31,840 --> 01:19:34,280
Speaker 1: with somebody. You grew up with, somebody from the same

1488
01:19:34,320 --> 01:19:37,160
Speaker 1: side of town. You your high schools wasn't that far

1489
01:19:37,320 --> 01:19:39,080
Speaker 1: from each other, You went to the same college, and

1490
01:19:39,200 --> 01:19:42,000
Speaker 1: now you're on the same NFL team. Like that stuff

1491
01:19:42,000 --> 01:19:44,000
Speaker 1: people dream of, you know, like they talk about that

1492
01:19:44,080 --> 01:19:46,320
Speaker 1: as little as little kids, and not for us to

1493
01:19:46,400 --> 01:19:48,240
Speaker 1: really do it, you know, even though I'm a year

1494
01:19:48,240 --> 01:19:51,280
Speaker 1: ahead of him. It's like it's a dream come true. Honestly, really,

1495
01:19:51,360 --> 01:19:53,400
Speaker 1: just a lot of people really don't even get to

1496
01:19:53,560 --> 01:19:55,680
Speaker 1: have this opportunity that we have coming from where we

1497
01:19:55,760 --> 01:19:58,880
Speaker 1: come from, so to even be able to be here together,

1498
01:19:59,200 --> 01:20:03,360
Speaker 1: like just in that surreal moment like together, it's just

1499
01:20:03,760 --> 01:20:06,760
Speaker 1: it's really like something you couldn't even dream. It's like

1500
01:20:06,800 --> 01:20:09,160
Speaker 1: straight out of a book, for real, for real, DeMar Dane,

1501
01:20:09,200 --> 01:20:11,400
Speaker 1: you guys pass the test. You know each other well.

1502
01:20:11,720 --> 01:20:13,759
Speaker 1: I don't know if somebody gave you the answers before,

1503
01:20:14,040 --> 01:20:17,080
Speaker 1: but you guys are true friends, which I love to see.

1504
01:20:17,240 --> 01:20:20,040
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us on another episode of Coffee with

1505

Speaker 1: the Bills, presented by Tim Horton's all right, Dan Jackson

1506
01:20:23,760 --> 01:20:26,720
Speaker 1: and DeMar Hamlin. Maddie, I'd like somebody to, you know,

1507
01:20:27,000 --> 01:20:32,519
Speaker 1: an advanced mathematician, to give us how astronomical the odds

1508
01:20:32,600 --> 01:20:36,599
Speaker 1: are to have not two guys from the same college.

1509
01:20:36,640 --> 01:20:38,759
Speaker 1: You do see that from time to time. I wouldn't

1510
01:20:38,800 --> 01:20:42,240
Speaker 1: call that on common, but two guys from essentially the

1511
01:20:42,320 --> 01:20:46,160
Speaker 1: same hometown be good enough athletes to make it to

1512
01:20:46,320 --> 01:20:50,400
Speaker 1: the highest level of football, play in the NFL and

1513
01:20:51,240 --> 01:20:53,479
Speaker 1: play on the same team. On top of that, I mean,

1514
01:20:53,560 --> 01:20:56,640
Speaker 1: the number of permutations there to get there, I mean

1515
01:20:56,720 --> 01:20:59,400
Speaker 1: that's got to be I don't know, maybe is it

1516
01:20:59,479 --> 01:21:03,559
Speaker 1: in the million, Like it's gotta be. Yeah, I agree.

1517
01:21:03,640 --> 01:21:06,080
Speaker 1: We were talking about it this morning, actually, me and

1518
01:21:06,160 --> 01:21:10,120
Speaker 1: a group of our media people just how slim the

1519
01:21:10,240 --> 01:21:12,360
Speaker 1: chances are to see these guys who grew up together,

1520
01:21:12,439 --> 01:21:14,120
Speaker 1: went to school together, and now are and the Buffalo

1521
01:21:14,200 --> 01:21:16,880
Speaker 1: Bills together. And both of them say they feel very

1522
01:21:17,000 --> 01:21:19,080
Speaker 1: lucky to come out of the town that they did

1523
01:21:19,439 --> 01:21:21,320
Speaker 1: and be at the place that they are. They have

1524
01:21:21,479 --> 01:21:24,600
Speaker 1: some friends that weren't so lucky, and they're big on

1525
01:21:25,040 --> 01:21:32,040
Speaker 1: wanting to provide a of view, a good vibe around

1526
01:21:32,200 --> 01:21:34,400
Speaker 1: how people can come out of where they came out

1527
01:21:34,479 --> 01:21:36,960
Speaker 1: of and make it the way that they had. So

1528
01:21:37,240 --> 01:21:39,720
Speaker 1: I really respect those two. They're two great guys, and

1529
01:21:40,000 --> 01:21:41,960
Speaker 1: it's cool to see them playing together right now. Yeah,

1530
01:21:42,040 --> 01:21:44,560
Speaker 1: no question about it. So a good job there by you.

1531
01:21:44,960 --> 01:21:48,320
Speaker 1: We turn now though to the tweet sheet, which is

1532
01:21:48,360 --> 01:21:51,040
Speaker 1: brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment

1533
01:21:51,120 --> 01:21:54,000
Speaker 1: moving company of the Buffalo Bills, where we were asking

1534
01:21:54,040 --> 01:21:56,960
Speaker 1: you today on the poll, which is more crucial to

1535
01:21:57,120 --> 01:22:01,160
Speaker 1: the success of the Bills offense going forward. Max says

1536
01:22:01,560 --> 01:22:03,719
Speaker 1: more of what they did in the second half Sunday,

1537
01:22:04,160 --> 01:22:06,920
Speaker 1: sprinkle in the runs and play action while using the

1538
01:22:06,960 --> 01:22:09,519
Speaker 1: short passes and screens as another run play to suit

1539
01:22:09,560 --> 01:22:12,280
Speaker 1: your strengths and back off the pass rush. The problem

1540
01:22:12,439 --> 01:22:14,840
Speaker 1: is they show signs of this and then go away

1541
01:22:14,920 --> 01:22:17,720
Speaker 1: from it again. Keep on it, and coach Dabele did

1542
01:22:17,800 --> 01:22:20,920
Speaker 1: address that yesterday when you know he was asked about

1543
01:22:21,160 --> 01:22:23,200
Speaker 1: not running at all in the first half and he

1544
01:22:23,360 --> 01:22:25,960
Speaker 1: was explaining, well, first series we did this, second series

1545
01:22:26,000 --> 01:22:27,880
Speaker 1: we backed him off with some screenplays, and in the

1546
01:22:28,000 --> 01:22:31,160
Speaker 1: third series we did this. So they are mixing it

1547
01:22:31,280 --> 01:22:35,240
Speaker 1: up in the passing game to almost double as a

1548
01:22:35,400 --> 01:22:37,640
Speaker 1: run game to try to keep these defenses honest and

1549
01:22:37,760 --> 01:22:41,280
Speaker 1: not trying to tee off on Josh. And in terms

1550
01:22:41,320 --> 01:22:44,360
Speaker 1: of play action, I mean, this team has been successful

1551
01:22:44,640 --> 01:22:46,960
Speaker 1: a lot when they used play action and when they

1552
01:22:47,080 --> 01:22:49,680
Speaker 1: let Josh Allen kind of decide what he wants to

1553
01:22:49,760 --> 01:22:52,000
Speaker 1: do based on what he sees in the defense, whether

1554
01:22:52,080 --> 01:22:54,960
Speaker 1: that's hand it off to somebody or take it himself

1555
01:22:55,080 --> 01:22:58,160
Speaker 1: or throw it to one of his receivers that's open.

1556
01:22:58,360 --> 01:23:01,439
Speaker 1: So I think it'll be interesting to see how they

1557
01:23:01,560 --> 01:23:05,200
Speaker 1: scheme up these next few teams especially. I mean, it's

1558
01:23:05,240 --> 01:23:06,760
Speaker 1: not like the game plan is going to be any

1559
01:23:07,000 --> 01:23:09,600
Speaker 1: any of the same against the Patriots just because of

1560
01:23:09,680 --> 01:23:12,320
Speaker 1: the weather conditions that they saw against the Patriots on

1561
01:23:12,479 --> 01:23:14,840
Speaker 1: Monday night. But I'm really interested to see how they

1562
01:23:14,920 --> 01:23:17,720
Speaker 1: scheme up against such good defense down the road here

1563
01:23:17,760 --> 01:23:20,599
Speaker 1: when they face the Patriots again. Kevin on the tweet

1564
01:23:20,640 --> 01:23:23,080
Speaker 1: sheet says, I think Allan's run game will help the

1565
01:23:23,160 --> 01:23:26,479
Speaker 1: rest of the offense. Click keeps defense is honest and

1566
01:23:26,720 --> 01:23:31,000
Speaker 1: is the biggest notable difference from last year. The fly

1567
01:23:31,160 --> 01:23:33,840
Speaker 1: in the ointment here Maddie, obviously, is his sprained foot.

1568
01:23:34,640 --> 01:23:37,640
Speaker 1: Even if he's able to play, is he able to

1569
01:23:37,800 --> 01:23:40,280
Speaker 1: run in the fashion that we're used to seeing him run.

1570
01:23:41,120 --> 01:23:43,880
Speaker 1: That could kind of gob up the works a little

1571
01:23:43,880 --> 01:23:47,720
Speaker 1: bit in terms of having that kind of game plan. Yeah,

1572
01:23:47,800 --> 01:23:49,599
Speaker 1: it's a it's a tough thing to way. I mean,

1573
01:23:50,120 --> 01:23:54,080
Speaker 1: he is so good taking it himself and finding those

1574
01:23:54,200 --> 01:23:58,040
Speaker 1: holes when they're there, I mean, over one hundred rushing

1575
01:23:58,120 --> 01:24:01,439
Speaker 1: yards in last week's game, but you know at what

1576
01:24:01,640 --> 01:24:05,439
Speaker 1: costs too. We saw him with the foot spring in

1577
01:24:05,600 --> 01:24:08,920
Speaker 1: that game, and it could affect him going forward in

1578
01:24:09,000 --> 01:24:11,240
Speaker 1: the next couple of weeks with how they use him

1579
01:24:11,560 --> 01:24:14,160
Speaker 1: in the run game and how they use him in

1580
01:24:14,240 --> 01:24:18,280
Speaker 1: the RPO game, depending on how he feels, how he

1581
01:24:18,800 --> 01:24:21,479
Speaker 1: receives treatment this week. So I would love to say,

1582
01:24:22,160 --> 01:24:23,920
Speaker 1: let him do whatever the heck he wants to do

1583
01:24:24,040 --> 01:24:26,680
Speaker 1: for the rest of the season. But is that the

1584
01:24:26,800 --> 01:24:30,439
Speaker 1: safest option for your most important player on your offense. Yeah,

1585
01:24:30,600 --> 01:24:33,719
Speaker 1: it's a tough balance for sure. Dinah on the tweet

1586
01:24:33,760 --> 01:24:36,920
Speaker 1: sheet says, oh, line, it's not the worst line, but

1587
01:24:37,080 --> 01:24:39,960
Speaker 1: it's not the best line. Anyone thinking Josh auld run

1588
01:24:40,040 --> 01:24:42,880
Speaker 1: more needs to remember he showed up after the game

1589
01:24:43,000 --> 01:24:45,120
Speaker 1: in a walking boot. And I think this is the

1590
01:24:45,200 --> 01:24:48,080
Speaker 1: concern that Bill's fans have, Maddie. They know he's the

1591
01:24:48,120 --> 01:24:50,880
Speaker 1: most important player on the team, and they also know

1592
01:24:51,160 --> 01:24:53,200
Speaker 1: that if you run him as often as you do

1593
01:24:53,960 --> 01:24:58,000
Speaker 1: in last week's game, week after week, the odds are

1594
01:24:58,040 --> 01:25:00,640
Speaker 1: probably going to go up that he might get an

1595
01:25:00,640 --> 01:25:03,240
Speaker 1: injury that doesn't allow him to finish a game, let

1596
01:25:03,280 --> 01:25:06,240
Speaker 1: alone miss another game after that, which they can't have

1597
01:25:06,439 --> 01:25:09,680
Speaker 1: right now. Yeah, and you don't want to do the

1598
01:25:09,840 --> 01:25:12,840
Speaker 1: same thing every single game because defenses are going to

1599
01:25:12,920 --> 01:25:15,840
Speaker 1: catch on. If they're gonna let Josh do what he

1600
01:25:15,920 --> 01:25:18,800
Speaker 1: wants to do in terms of on the ground, defenses

1601
01:25:18,800 --> 01:25:21,719
Speaker 1: are going to start scheming for that. So it doesn't

1602
01:25:21,800 --> 01:25:25,400
Speaker 1: take too long for a defense to figure out, Okay,

1603
01:25:25,479 --> 01:25:27,599
Speaker 1: here's what the team has done the last three weeks,

1604
01:25:27,680 --> 01:25:30,360
Speaker 1: here's what they're usually going to do in this situation

1605
01:25:30,520 --> 01:25:33,240
Speaker 1: or scenario when they see this front or this coverage.

1606
01:25:33,920 --> 01:25:36,280
Speaker 1: So they're gonna have to continue to mix it up.

1607
01:25:36,320 --> 01:25:38,519
Speaker 1: And Sean McDermott talked about that at the end of

1608
01:25:38,560 --> 01:25:41,000
Speaker 1: the game. After the game, he said he liked the

1609
01:25:41,120 --> 01:25:44,160
Speaker 1: variety of the offense and several different players at the

1610
01:25:44,280 --> 01:25:46,639
Speaker 1: end of the game touch the ball, had their hands

1611
01:25:46,680 --> 01:25:49,920
Speaker 1: on the ball, caught passes. So I think that's what

1612
01:25:50,080 --> 01:25:52,439
Speaker 1: we've seen too, is this offense is at its best

1613
01:25:52,800 --> 01:25:56,120
Speaker 1: when we see it be at its most variety, when

1614
01:25:56,160 --> 01:25:59,040
Speaker 1: we see the most guys weaved into it, whether that's

1615
01:25:59,120 --> 01:26:02,560
Speaker 1: running the ball or catching the ball. Jeremy says, the

1616
01:26:02,680 --> 01:26:07,760
Speaker 1: connection between Gabe and Josh is absolutely gorgeous. He needs

1617
01:26:07,800 --> 01:26:10,000
Speaker 1: to be a starter and on the field often. I

1618
01:26:10,040 --> 01:26:13,519
Speaker 1: think we've covered this ground here even on today's show,

1619
01:26:13,600 --> 01:26:16,920
Speaker 1: So we'll move along to Herb who says, I want

1620
01:26:16,960 --> 01:26:20,679
Speaker 1: Alan to run some I get concerned about injuries. Gabe

1621
01:26:20,760 --> 01:26:23,800
Speaker 1: Davis on the field turns into six. He makes those

1622
01:26:23,880 --> 01:26:26,519
Speaker 1: hard catches, he blocks well, he's an awesome route runner.

1623
01:26:26,560 --> 01:26:29,759
Speaker 1: And good things seemed to happen with Gabe on the field,

1624
01:26:30,200 --> 01:26:32,479
Speaker 1: no question about it. And you know, Maddie and I

1625
01:26:32,640 --> 01:26:35,400
Speaker 1: kind of covered this earlier in the show. I thought

1626
01:26:36,120 --> 01:26:37,760
Speaker 1: when we looked at the poll at the outset of

1627
01:26:37,800 --> 01:26:40,679
Speaker 1: the show, Manny I said to myself, well, I thought

1628
01:26:40,760 --> 01:26:43,080
Speaker 1: Gabe was going to get a lot of traction there.

1629
01:26:43,160 --> 01:26:46,479
Speaker 1: But I think with some fans knowing Emmanuel Sanders is

1630
01:26:46,479 --> 01:26:49,720
Speaker 1: probably not going to play this week again, people are like, ah,

1631
01:26:50,120 --> 01:26:51,600
Speaker 1: he's gonna be in the lineup anyway. I don't need

1632
01:26:51,640 --> 01:26:53,280
Speaker 1: to vote for him in this poll. I'm going to

1633
01:26:53,360 --> 01:26:55,160
Speaker 1: vote for the offensive line. And then that's why we

1634
01:26:55,200 --> 01:26:58,920
Speaker 1: saw the lopsided vote that we did. Yeah, but Gabe

1635
01:26:59,040 --> 01:27:02,120
Speaker 1: is important to this offense. Emmanuel Standards is important to

1636
01:27:02,200 --> 01:27:05,000
Speaker 1: this offense. They have some really good pieces at wide

1637
01:27:05,040 --> 01:27:07,880
Speaker 1: receiver who can help in different ways. And I know

1638
01:27:08,080 --> 01:27:11,000
Speaker 1: Isaam McKenzie. I think only caught one pass, but I

1639
01:27:11,200 --> 01:27:13,639
Speaker 1: was happy to see him look back into the offense

1640
01:27:14,040 --> 01:27:16,120
Speaker 1: because I think he's I thought he was a big

1641
01:27:16,240 --> 01:27:18,880
Speaker 1: part of it last year, and I understand him being

1642
01:27:18,960 --> 01:27:21,400
Speaker 1: the returner. You don't want to weave him into the

1643
01:27:21,520 --> 01:27:24,200
Speaker 1: offense because then that gives him a chance to possibly

1644
01:27:24,280 --> 01:27:26,400
Speaker 1: get hurt. And if he's your guy there, you want

1645
01:27:26,479 --> 01:27:27,840
Speaker 1: him to be your guy there for the rest of

1646
01:27:27,880 --> 01:27:30,680
Speaker 1: the season. But now that we've seen Marquis Stevenson and

1647
01:27:31,040 --> 01:27:33,040
Speaker 1: him kind of split the job there, we'll see what

1648
01:27:33,120 --> 01:27:36,600
Speaker 1: happens going forward. But I love Ayaza McKenzie in the

1649
01:27:36,720 --> 01:27:39,160
Speaker 1: offense as well, so it'll be interesting to see if

1650
01:27:39,240 --> 01:27:42,360
Speaker 1: he's used in games going forward to great time for

1651
01:27:42,479 --> 01:27:44,120
Speaker 1: us here, Maddie and I will close it up next

1652
01:27:44,200 --> 01:27:58,800
Speaker 1: here on One Deal's Live. Stay tune well, Maddie. As

1653
01:27:58,840 --> 01:28:01,000
Speaker 1: we mentioned at the top of the show, the Cleveland

1654
01:28:01,040 --> 01:28:05,800
Speaker 1: Browns have already entered into advanced COVID protocols, and we

1655
01:28:05,880 --> 01:28:07,920
Speaker 1: said they probably won't be the last team we didn't

1656
01:28:08,000 --> 01:28:11,280
Speaker 1: get to the end of the show. The Rams have

1657
01:28:11,600 --> 01:28:16,240
Speaker 1: now closed their training facility, they have entered the NFL's

1658
01:28:16,400 --> 01:28:19,599
Speaker 1: intensive protocols, and they just got back from a game

1659
01:28:19,760 --> 01:28:22,760
Speaker 1: last night, so it's pretty crazy to think about what

1660
01:28:23,560 --> 01:28:26,200
Speaker 1: tripped them up and triggered this for them to go

1661
01:28:26,320 --> 01:28:28,519
Speaker 1: the intensive protocols. I mean, they weren't even around the

1662
01:28:28,600 --> 01:28:30,640
Speaker 1: facility on Monday. They were playing in a game. So

1663
01:28:31,439 --> 01:28:35,680
Speaker 1: you have to wonder if Arizona could be impacted just

1664
01:28:35,800 --> 01:28:38,280
Speaker 1: by virtue of being around them. I know, you know, really,

1665
01:28:38,320 --> 01:28:40,960
Speaker 1: transmission on the field hasn't happened, but it is an

1666
01:28:41,000 --> 01:28:43,480
Speaker 1: indoor facility. I don't know if that changes the conversation.

1667
01:28:43,560 --> 01:28:46,200
Speaker 1: It's just I don't like the way this is headed

1668
01:28:46,560 --> 01:28:49,760
Speaker 1: for the league. Yeah, and I wonder what starts to

1669
01:28:49,840 --> 01:28:52,479
Speaker 1: happen in the playoffs or as we close out the

1670
01:28:52,560 --> 01:28:55,880
Speaker 1: season here, because remember last year it was basically like

1671
01:28:56,000 --> 01:28:58,439
Speaker 1: the playoffs started and the teams went into a true

1672
01:28:58,520 --> 01:29:03,120
Speaker 1: bubble scenario. I wonder if that's in the conversation here

1673
01:29:03,200 --> 01:29:05,880
Speaker 1: this season, because as we've seen, a lot of the

1674
01:29:06,000 --> 01:29:09,640
Speaker 1: spread has occurred outside of the facility rather than inside

1675
01:29:09,920 --> 01:29:13,280

01:29:16,040 --> 01:29:18,800

Speaker 1: around the corner, people are going to be with friends,

1680
01:29:24,920 --> 01:29:28,320
Speaker 1: with family members, and we know that this can spread

1681
01:29:28,400 --> 01:29:32,360

1682
01:29:32,680 --> 01:29:35,519

01:29:35,640 --> 01:29:35,800
