1
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 1: At a Steve Tasker who has been all over the field.

2
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:12,320
Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

3
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 1: players for Steve, Steve a blimp. We're not even in

4
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:26,279
Speaker 1: the straded beer of normalcy. Holy cow, the band's back together.

5
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 1: It's like a Beatles reunion, sup My gosh, Chris Brown,

6
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker in the Flesh, back from the Yukon Yukon

00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:47,840
Speaker 1: being at my desk again, here in my workspace. It's

10
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,879
Speaker 1: still trying to get back in the swing here. Tuesday

00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 1: edition of One Bills Live. Are you back on Eastern

12
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,279
Speaker 1: Time yet or no? Not quite? I'd we could lay

13
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,279
Speaker 1: the start of this for like twenty this we get

14
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: a nap and yeah, it's actually alasking time. It's nine am,

15
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: alasking time. So I'm still. It's gonna take me a

16
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 1: couple of days. Just double up on the coffee and yeah,

17
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: yeah it'll be fine. Oh yeah, a lot has happened,

18
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:23,119
Speaker 1: Steve who while you were away? Yeah, and the hive's

19
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: been buzzing, right, So I'm watching Monday night football last

20
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 1: night and my phone starts blowing up. Yeah. And the

21
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 1: John Gruden stuff, holy cow, just oh just ugly, ugly, ugly,

22
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 1: ugly stuff. Yeah. And I mean we were talking last

23
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 1: week about Urban Meyer and is off the field transgressions

24
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: and how that would make it more difficult for him

25
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: to lead a team and basically say, do as I say,

26
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: not as I do. But this one Trump's that I

27
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: think neither are good. And I guess arguing the degrees

28
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,799
Speaker 1: of bad really doesn't matter here because it's because both

29
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: of them are in a bad spot. But Gruden's in

30
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 1: such a bad spot he had to resign immediately and

31
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 1: probably knew it, and that's ultimately what happened. And now

32
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: the Raiders, who got off to a quick start at

33
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: the beginning of the season, what were they three and zero?

34
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: I think to begin the season, they are now Yeah,

35
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 1: now they are stumbling here and their head coaches out

36
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: the door. Rich Bisachia, the special team's coach veteran special

37
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: teams coach, will be the interim head coach going forward.

38
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: And a lot of times this is what we see

39
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 1: happen with an interim coaching situation, usually turned to the

40
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 1: special team's coach to be the interim because they touch

41
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: every player on the football team for the most part.

42
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: They have relationships with probably ninety to ninety five percent

43
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: of the roster, and so you want to pull the

44
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 1: ranks in tighter. Sometimes the special team's coach on staff

45
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: is the best way to go. Yeah, they've got a

46
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: nice they've got good people skills. They're good leaders because

47
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,399
Speaker 1: they got to lead defensive players, offensive players. They got

48
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: to bring guys together and make a group out of him,

49
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: making a force out of him. So that's you know,

50
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: special teams guys seem to have that quality about him.

51
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: And John Harbaugh last night's Monday Night football coach for Baltimore.

52
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: He came straight from being a special team's coach into

53
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: the head coaching ranks and has done obviously very very well.

54
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: But the guy's a veteran as well. Basacchi's a real veteran,

55
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: been around a long time. So this is not going

56
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: to be He's not gonna be in over his Hey,

57
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: you know, may not be it cut out for a

58
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 1: head coach, but he's not gonna be able. It's not

59
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: gonna be overwhelming for him. And you know, they got

60
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: a lot of football to play. I mean, there's twelve

61
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: games left in this season. It's a long way to go,

62
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: and they've still got a shot at all of this,

63
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: especially in that division. So they're all hearing a much

64
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: tougher division than maybe they even anticipated with the emergence

65
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: of the Chargers here four and one and Denver who

66
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 1: plays really tough defense. Yeah. So, but yeah, Gruden's ten. Gruden,

67
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: his time in Las Vegas was done. His position was untenable.

68
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 1: The language he used in the attitude that was displayed

69
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: in the in the emails and first purported to I

70
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 1: haven't read those emails. I've just heard some of the

71
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: reports about what was in them and some of the

72
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: specifics about what was said. Yeah, he can't live like

73
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: that in this league. You can't be a part of

74
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: this league and use the language he did. Forget, whether

75
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: you believe it or not, which his casual use of

76
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 1: it and repeated use of it over an eight year period,

77
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's yeah, he just can't do that well,

78
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 1: especially when a league is trying very hard to move

79
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: into the twenty first century, be inclusionary, whether it's hiring women,

80
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: whether it's accepting uh, gay players in this league who

81
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: you know, I mean Karl Nassis on John Gruden's roster

82
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: the only opening. I can't imagine what the league is

83
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,279
Speaker 1: on his roster. U. He had things to say about

84
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 1: gay players, He had things to say about females in

85
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 1: the league, both officiating. Uh and and he went after

86
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 1: the commission when after the commissioner, it was just one

87
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 1: thing after another. Now when he made all when he

88
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 1: did all that, well, it was all way up to

89
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 1: twenty and eighteen that the emails went. And I don't

90
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: know what kind of language is used in the later ones,

91
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: but there certainly in the early ones and all the

92
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: way back to two thousand and eleven was it was reprehensible.

93
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: He wasn't an employee or affiliated with the league except

94
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: for the you know, the Monday night football gig. So

95
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: all that stuff comes out, and as a head coach,

96
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 1: I don't know how you look at your players or

97
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,239
Speaker 1: I don't know what you could say to them to

98
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 1: make that go away. Yeah, not good And there could

99
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,919
Speaker 1: be ripple effects. Did that come from this because a

100
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: lot of these emails were directed towards Bruce Allen, who

101
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 1: was a team executive at the time, but the Washington

102
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 1: football team and there is talk now that Washington Football

103
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:42,279
Speaker 1: Team owner Daniel Snyder is somehow responsible for the culture

104
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 1: that went on between Gruden, who was not working for

105
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 1: the team, but some of his high ranking executives. And

106
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's going to stretch that far,

107
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: but there may be some pressure put on the league

108
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: to address this as it pertains to the Washington Football team.

109
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if an investigation is conducted to

110
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 1: see if the trail goes further, to see if there

111
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: are other participants on those email exchanges using similar language

112
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 1: that are still employed in this league. It's I don't

113
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: know that we've reached the end of this yet. Yeah,

114
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's this wide reaching, which obviously

115
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: it seems like it is. They've also done personal interviews.

116
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: Obviously there's a lot of people involved in what was

117
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: purported to be a very toxic work environment, and what

118
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 1: with the Washington Football team, I don't think it is.

119
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: If I get the impression, Brownie, that this thing is

120
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 1: just starting with the Washington Football team. They went through

121
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: all these emails, hundreds of thousands of emails, and I

122
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: think if if this comes out about Gruden, I'm what

123
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: are they going to find out about everything else that

124
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 1: was going on with the Washington football team. I don't know.

125
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: I mean this the results that we saw last night,

126
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 1: the resignation of John Gruten came on the heels of

127
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: an initially in a Wall Street Journal report, and then

128
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 1: the New York Times report pretty much blew the whole

129
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 1: thing out of the water and prompted him to resign.

130
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 1: The league hasn't conducted an investigation of any kind, but

131
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: I would think they would be prompted to do so

132
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: now to see how far the tentacles reach on these

133
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: email exchanges, because he's obviously conversing with someone we know,

134
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: Bruce Allen is one person who to my knowledge is

135
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,719
Speaker 1: not employed by the league right now. But does it

136
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 1: go further than that? Were there other participants? I think

137
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 1: it behooves the league to look into it and investigate it,

138
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 1: at the very least to see if you can root

139
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 1: out other people like this who at least it's clear

140
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: to me you don't want in your league. If they're

141
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 1: talking and discussing, as you mentioned, way too casually, talking

142
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 1: like this, addressing and labeling people the way they did.

143
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 1: I mean, they're trying to move this league forward to

144
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 1: be more of a league of inclusion. This flies completely

145
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 1: in the face of that. So if it exists elsewhere

146
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 1: and you have the ability through investigation to root it out,

147
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: then root it out. You're almost compelled to do so.

148
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 1: So I'm very interested to see where it goes from here.

149
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 1: Gruden has taken care of but now if it reaches

150
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: further than him, you're kind of obligated to investigate that.

151
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:42,199
Speaker 1: I think, Yeah, I don't know where this Washington Football

152
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 1: team investigations going. I haven't heard about it in a

153
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 1: long time. I know that it was going to be ongoing,

154
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 1: and it sounded like it was a gargantuan undertaking. Might

155
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 1: take some time, but you know that in the words

156
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: of Andrew Brant, who is used to run the Pack,

157
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: said there will be lawyers. That's already begun to happen

158
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 1: with the Washington football team. But John Gruden and the

159
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 1: Raiders have parted ways and he resigned, which is a

160
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: formality because if he didn't resign, Mark Davis would have

161
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 1: been incredibly an incredible amount of pressure to fire him,

162
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 1: which I don't know if Mark Davis would have succumbed

163
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: to that pressure or not, but it certainly would have. Yeah,

164
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:30,959
Speaker 1: he was just in an untenable situation. So well, it's

165
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 1: it's good for the league that the guys out wouldn't

166
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 1: know whether you're a Raiders fan or not, or John

167
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 1: Gruden fan or not. The NFL's better today than it

168
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 1: was yesterday. I think you got to make gestures like this.

169
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 1: I think it needs to happen. It's long been my assertion,

170
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: and I've talked to I've talked to my former teammates

171
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: about this as well. I've always thought that professional sports

172
00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 1: in general has always been at the forefront of racial

173
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: reconciliation because at its core, you've got guys of different races,

174
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:11,839
Speaker 1: economic and social backgrounds, geographical differences. They couldn't be more

175
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: diverse in an NFL locker room and on coaching staffs,

176
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: and those guys genuinely love and respect each other. They

177
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 1: earn it with their own character and with their own

178
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: actions and the way they become trustworthy, and they prove

179
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: themselves trustworthy and they prove themselves to be a good friend.

180
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,079
Speaker 1: You have to prove it to yourself to be there.

181
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 1: You have to earn everything you get in those locker

182
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 1: rooms and I think it's one of the most welcoming

183
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 1: and loving atmospheres that you could find in any industry

184
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: on this in this country or any other. Sports is

185
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 1: the one thing that breaks all that stuff down, and

186
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 1: those walls come down, and they have to be you

187
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: have to be willing to love and embrace and be friends.

188
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 1: And if you come in with any inconce misconceptions or

189
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 1: any ignorance or something, you see it firsthand and you

190
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:09,560
Speaker 1: experience how wrong you could be. And I think it's

191
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: always been, you know, something that the league has. You know,

192
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: they don't get any credit for it because we all

193
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 1: agree it's kind of the way it should be right well,

194
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: and so that you don't get any credit for it.

195
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: And I know that even though in a situation like this,

196
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 1: where you see the blemishes and how far the league

197
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: itself has to go, it's unfortunately you think, wow, how

198
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 1: if and that's where and if you accept the premise

199
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 1: that I put forth just now, and you may not,

200
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: and I get it, not everybody agrees with me. But

201
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 1: if you do accept the premise that the league is

202
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 1: and the professional sports in general are further down the

203
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 1: road of racial harmony than any other or most other industries,

204
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 1: you realize how far everybody else has to go, and

205
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 1: even the league has to go. We get a long

206
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:56,679
Speaker 1: way to go. But thankfully that that at least we're

207
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: at least where the point where it's not tolerated, right,

208
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 1: you know. And that sounds like a low bar, but

209
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 1: it's not that low. Yeah. And I think the other

210
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: thing that makes it difficult in sports leagues, as progressive

211
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 1: as they want to be, there is that common perception

212
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: that there is a locker room culture that exists that

213
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 1: runs against the grain of what maybe the at the

214
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 1: at the at the executive level of the league wants

215
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 1: to push forward. It's it's hampered or hindered sometimes by,

216
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 1: for lack of a better term, locker room culture where

217
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 1: they talk about things that they never talk about in public,

218
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like that kind of politically

219
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 1: incorrect topics, that kind of stuff. Yeah. I think that

220
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 1: stigma still exists for professional sports leagues just because of

221
00:13:55,080 --> 00:14:00,320
Speaker 1: how it's always been traditionally perceived. I don't believe leave

222
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 1: it exists in nearly the fashion that it did forty

223
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: years ago. Oh absolutely not. When I say it's a

224
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 1: low bar, I'm saying it's a bar that the league

225
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 1: has obviously cleared, so that I didn't when I said

226
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 1: it was actually a low bar. It is. But that's

227
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 1: the way it it's a given that somebody like this,

228
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 1: or somebody has this in their background, or has this

229
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 1: has been found out about, or can or shows it.

230
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 1: You can't tolerate. You can't. It's got to be zero

231
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: tolerance about that kind of stuff. And by doing that,

232
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 1: you'll understand it. On the other side of the equation,

233
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 1: the people who you're insulting and the groups that you're

234
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 1: insulting feel more, feel safer, and you can get a

235
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 1: chance to understand where they're coming from when you don't

236
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 1: force them to be quiet and silent and invisible. And

237
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 1: I think that's you know, what you get out of

238
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 1: calling this kind of behavior out and acting on it,

239
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 1: and you don't have a I don't have a problem

240
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 1: at all the way that that Gruden resigned on fire

241
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 1: or resign whatever, he's going away. Um, they can handle

242
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 1: that any way they want, but it needed to happen.

243
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 1: Um the league will be better for it. It's a

244
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: it's certainly a blemish on what the I think on

245
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 1: the league's track record and every day operating atmosphere in

246
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 1: most and this team other almost virtually every other team

247
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 1: UM has an atmosphere where that just that kind of language,

248
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 1: no kind of thing that just does not fly. It

249
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 1: does not fly. And I think the fact that this

250
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 1: happened and happened as quickly as it did within three

251
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 1: or four days of the of the first inklings and

252
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 1: first reporting, I think that's that's that's appropriate, it's appropriate

253
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 1: before we move forward to Bill's Titans Monday night, since

254
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 1: you haven't had an opportunity to chime in final thoughts

255
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 1: on thirty eight Chiefs twenty Bills were better. The Bills

256
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: were better, They forced a couple of turnovers even late.

257
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 1: The Chiefs never went away beat him by eighteen though.

258
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: And I know there's been a lot of chatter on

259
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 1: social media about the officials and the way they did it.

260
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 1: And you know, you'd be interested to know too that

261
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 1: Chiefs fans feel like about the refs like the way

262
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 1: the Bills feel about the refs. They thought they were

263
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 1: horrible and they thought they were lopsided. So that'll tell

264
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 1: you both sides of the story, you know that. And

265
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 1: I said this to you that, for instance, there was

266
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 1: a lot of there's some phantom holes, and there was

267
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 1: some holes that seemed obvious to on the broadcast that

268
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 1: they they weren't called, So that seemed inconsistent to me.

269
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 1: On both sides the roughing. The pastor called the one

270
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 1: on Ed Oliver. It was late, but he was coming in.

271
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 1: He came in low on the quarterback at at Mahome's feet.

272
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 1: That's always going to get called. And the one I

273
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 1: was shocked about was the Josh Allen And was it

274
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:04,920
Speaker 1: Frank Clark, Yeah, Frank Clark on Josh Allen. And everybody's

275
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 1: up in arms about how bad You know that they

276
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:10,120
Speaker 1: didn't think that was roughing the passer. I gotta tell

277
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 1: you you go back and look at the video that

278
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:16,439
Speaker 1: the NFL puts out about when when they made the

279
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:23,639
Speaker 1: roughing the passer rules. It's textbook roughing the passer. He

280
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:27,359
Speaker 1: dumped him, he gat him, gathered him, brought his legs

281
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:29,680
Speaker 1: out from underneath him, and landed his shoulder right in

282
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 1: the middle of his chest. That is textbook roughing the passer.

283
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 1: He gathered his leg on the bottom, dumped him over,

284
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 1: and stuck his shoulder into him. Um, the timing of

285
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:45,360
Speaker 1: it is irrelevant. Irrelevant. You can't gather his leg, dump

286
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:47,920
Speaker 1: him and jump on him and land with your weight

287
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 1: on him. Now he landed on him then raised his arm.

288
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:56,680
Speaker 1: That's that's always going to be called. You can't scoop

289
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 1: the quarterback and dump him. And that's that's exactly like

290
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 1: the at Oliver roughing the pastor. It's just a rule.

291
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 1: And I am not shocked at all that that call

292
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 1: on Clark was made. I'm not shocked at the ed

293
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:11,680
Speaker 1: Oliver call was made either. The holding calls all over

294
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 1: the field are the ones that were really frustrating, and

295
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,359
Speaker 1: the ones in the backfield, the defensive backfield on both sides.

296
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 1: And I saw the one that Travis Kelsey pass interference

297
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 1: on tradevious White. No question Tredevius was in on him,

298
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 1: but then you saw Kelsey had his hand over his

299
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 1: shoulder pulling him down on him. I get all that.

300
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 1: That's and it's hard for the officials to call that

301
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:40,160
Speaker 1: h but when you know and we're seeing it here

302
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 1: on ed Oliver and Russeau came in, they came in

303
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 1: low on Mahomes and you can't do that. That's that's

304
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 1: that's an easy call as well. But the call on

305
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 1: Josh that everybody was all that said it was soft

306
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 1: or whatever. That's you can't do that on Josh Allen

307
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 1: and you can't do that on Mahomes either. Both those

308
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:59,400
Speaker 1: I thought were okay calls. I mean, you know, it's

309
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,360
Speaker 1: the it's the air in which we live. I mean,

310
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 1: in the old days when I played, neither one of

311
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,679
Speaker 1: them would have even been a thought. Those don't even

312
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,399
Speaker 1: get called, But now they do, and they get called consistently.

313
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,879
Speaker 1: That one on Josh. I know he was in the

314
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 1: air and the guy hit him right away, but you

315
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:18,640
Speaker 1: can't dump him like that. You shouldn't in a Clark

316
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:22,119
Speaker 1: should never even have taken him down. Yeah, he should

317
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 1: have been so as he got there, he should have

318
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:25,880
Speaker 1: just pulled his arms back. That's right. And you can say, well,

319
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 1: he didn't know it was thrown. You know that. You know,

320
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:31,400
Speaker 1: tell that to your tell that to your therapist, because

321
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 1: that doesn't fly. He knew. And that's just the way

322
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,120
Speaker 1: it's gonna be. It's gonna be called like that every

323
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 1: time when you dump him. That's the way it's gonna happen.

324
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 1: It's gonna get called um so that Yeah, So the

325
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,400
Speaker 1: officials I thought were yes, inconsistent, particularly on the whole,

326
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 1: like the one right before this, and everybody's been talking

327
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:49,640
Speaker 1: about Josh Allen ran for a first down and got

328
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,879
Speaker 1: called back by Mitch Morris on a holding player that

329
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:56,680
Speaker 1: didn't exist on a on a bad holding call. I thought, um,

330
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 1: it was a fandom hold call. And so they you know,

331
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 1: they took the way a first down. Um, that was

332
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 1: a bad call. And then there was a couple of

333
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,160
Speaker 1: calls that you so and then well, Carl Scheffer's crew

334
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:11,199
Speaker 1: is known as an over offficiating crew. They throw a

335
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:14,479
Speaker 1: ton of flags. I think they average I think I

336
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,919
Speaker 1: read this they average twenty three flags a game. But

337
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 1: I think Bill's fans should Bill's fans should take a

338
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 1: little bit, you know, just take a deep breath. And

339
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 1: Chiefs fans as well, both fan bases after that game

340
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 1: were livid thinking they got the short end of the stick,

341
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: both fan bases and that. And and Chris collins Worth

342
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:39,200
Speaker 1: took a ton of heat for the way he broadcasts

343
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 1: the game. I listen, I've been on that too, So

344
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 1: it's he does sound like a front runner at times.

345
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 1: I will say that's easy to do. That's easy to

346
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 1: do because if you don't want to. If you don't

347
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 1: want to be one of those guys where nobody does

348
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:56,239
Speaker 1: anything right on either side, that's no fun. But if

349
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 1: you're not gonna do that, if you're gonna if you're

350
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:00,439
Speaker 1: not gonna do that, and you're gonna be a cheerer, gone,

351
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:04,399
Speaker 1: you're gonna be a front runner. I understand giving the

352
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 1: Chiefs their due respect. Two time defending AFC Champs, super

353
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 1: Bowl Champs two years ago, They've earned it. I think

354
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 1: what really gets under the skin of Bills fans is

355
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 1: the Bills aren't that far off. And I think there

356
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 1: were times where, just based on what I saw scrolling

357
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 1: through the social media and Bills fans being I rate

358
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:32,680
Speaker 1: is they never feel like the Bills get their just due.

359
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 1: Even when they make a play right, it's because of

360
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:39,640
Speaker 1: something the Chiefs didn't do right. I think in this

361
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:45,360
Speaker 1: game too, In this game, maybe more than any other

362
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:48,679
Speaker 1: primetime game that I can recall in recent memory, the

363
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:55,120
Speaker 1: Bills made the plays themselves. The coaching staff out coached

364
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:58,879
Speaker 1: the Chiefs coaching staff left right, center, offense, defense, and

365
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 1: special teams, and it wasn't even close. And there wasn't

366
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 1: a peep out of Collinsworth with the exception of giving

367
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 1: Leslie Frasier a little bit of credit by the end

368
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 1: of the third quarter. I mean, yeah, Steve, the Chiefs

369
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 1: in Patrick mahomes fifty one starts prior to Sunday Night

370
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 1: scored twenty points or less twice twice in fifty one

371
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 1: starts by Patrick Mahomes. Sunday Night was the third time,

372
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 1: and it took Chris Collinsworth three and a half quarters

373
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 1: to pat Leslie Frasier on the back. I mean, are

374
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 1: you kidding me? Yeah, And I'll say this. Think about

375
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:41,959
Speaker 1: it though, and I totally agree with you, and I

376
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 1: feel what Bills fans were feeling the other night. I

377
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 1: was watching the game as well, and I felt the

378
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 1: same thing. But you think about this too. It's kind

379
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 1: of been the personality of the Chiefs a little bit

380
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:57,879
Speaker 1: as well, to have games like that where all of

381
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,479
Speaker 1: a sudden they snap off twenty eight points and they

382
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 1: win the game. And the Bills got two turnovers deep

383
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 1: in their own end when the when the Chiefs were

384
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 1: gonna go in, they got the Rousseau tipped interception, and

385
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:12,959
Speaker 1: then at the end the Pat Mahomes had the fumbled

386
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:14,639
Speaker 1: snap where the snap was bad and he went back

387
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,119
Speaker 1: and that ended the drive and that was virtually the

388
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:20,399
Speaker 1: game right there. So they had two turnovers right at

389
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 1: the end. Down close. Um, all of that kind of

390
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 1: led to the fact that the Chiefs. Believe me, the

391
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:32,639
Speaker 1: Bills beat him by eighteen So it was not close.

392
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,200
Speaker 1: The Bills beat the Chiefs by more than the Chiefs

393
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:41,399
Speaker 1: beat the Bills in the championship game. But because of

394
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:44,639
Speaker 1: the personality and the history we have watching that team,

395
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:46,920
Speaker 1: it's easy to see why Collinsworth wasn't ready to throw

396
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 1: dirt on him. Yes, and so um in not throwing

397
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 1: dirt on them, certainly he'd he he didn't. He didn't,

398
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 1: you know, uncover what the Bills had done in that

399
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:02,879
Speaker 1: game and how well the Bills have played. So I

400
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,119
Speaker 1: think there's a little bit of that going on. Um

401
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,160
Speaker 1: the Chiefs and I went back and watched that game

402
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:14,919
Speaker 1: this morning. The Chiefs are still a formidable team on offense. Yes,

403
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:18,120
Speaker 1: off defense is a mess. Their defense is a train

404
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 1: wreck right now. Um, they can their safety. They got

405
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 1: one safe, Tyranne Matthew is a really good player. The

406
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:29,879
Speaker 1: other safety, Sorenson, can't play and he can't play a

407
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,159
Speaker 1: cover role. He's a box safety. That's what he is.

408
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:37,360
Speaker 1: He's not athletic enough. Um, he can't he can't outrun

409
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 1: our quarterback. I know that UM, and he can't cover.

410
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:45,399
Speaker 1: And their linebackers are not super athletic, right, so they

411
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 1: got some second level they don't have athleticism to cover

412
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 1: and they're saying one of their two safeties can't really

413
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:55,120
Speaker 1: cover beyond the thing. That's that's been their modus, even

414
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 1: last year when they well, you know, last year they

415
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 1: played extremely well. Their defense was very good, much different, different,

416
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 1: much great. It was good, and that has been the

417
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:08,399
Speaker 1: difference for them, and this year it's it's a different

418
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,640
Speaker 1: crew and they got some issues. But it's always been

419
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 1: about outscoring Kansas City and it's going to continue to

420
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:19,120
Speaker 1: be because their offense is still a handful, a real handful.

421
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 1: And I think that played into how that game was broadcast.

422
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,679
Speaker 1: I think it's the vibe that and cutlet's face at

423
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:29,119
Speaker 1: Collinsworth and Michaels have seen those guys a bunch, so

424
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 1: they've been down that road where they looked bad for

425
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:33,719
Speaker 1: a minute and then all of a sudden, Tyreek Hill

426
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 1: snaps off f four touchdowns like they did last year

427
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,640
Speaker 1: in the first half at Tampa Bay when they went

428
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:41,440
Speaker 1: in there and Tyreek Hill. You know, I had two

429
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,200
Speaker 1: hundred touchdown, two hundred yards and receiving in the first half.

430
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 1: So they've seen that, and I still think that doesn't

431
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,119
Speaker 1: I'll say this though, having said that about the Chiefs,

432
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 1: I still think you're right. And I think Bill's fans

433
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 1: feelings are justified in that the Bills haven't been an

434
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 1: elite team long enough for guys like Chris collins Worth

435
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 1: and Al Michaels and other fan bases and the national

436
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 1: consciousness at large. We haven't been up there long enough

437
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 1: for people to get a handle on what they think

438
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 1: Josh Allen is and what they can do. So until

439
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 1: that happens a little further down the road, maybe deeper

440
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 1: into this season, maybe it'll be next season, I don't know,

441
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:24,680
Speaker 1: but they're gonna say, okay, here, you know, the Chiefs,

442
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 1: I mean, the Bills are going to be one of

443
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 1: those teams where I don't know, I don't know what

444
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:30,439
Speaker 1: else you need. I mean, number one in scoring and

445
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,919
Speaker 1: number one in points allowed. Listen at the same they are.

446
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:39,640
Speaker 1: They are killing it, right, plus one oh eight point

447
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:43,680
Speaker 1: differential plus one oho eight. They're crushing it they are

448
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 1: absolutely humming. They got one hundred and seventy two points

449
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 1: in five games. And I'll say this, I've said this

450
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,399
Speaker 1: all offseason. And by the way, I'm before we get on,

451
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:56,639
Speaker 1: I'm remind me to talk about Dawson Knox. How I

452
00:26:56,640 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 1: call it like suan but thank you. This team is

453
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,640
Speaker 1: on the they're playing lights out. They're gonna be there.

454
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 1: But you know, you just can't get to the point where, um, oh,

455
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:20,439
Speaker 1: I know what it is the Tennessee game. This is

456
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:22,919
Speaker 1: also a kind of a revenge game, not because not

457
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 1: because they lost that game last year, but the way

458
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 1: it went down last year and all the stuff. I

459
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,120
Speaker 1: think it's stuff outside the lines. I think this game

460
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:34,239
Speaker 1: has a bigger motivational factor in the locker room than

461
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,159
Speaker 1: the Chiefs game, or as big as the Chiefs. I

462
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 1: think if you pulled the Bills locker room and asked

463
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 1: them which laws stuck in your craw more from last year,

464
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:49,200
Speaker 1: Chiefs or Titans regular season Chiefs or Titans, I'm willing

465
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:53,880
Speaker 1: to bet that locker room would say Titans game. Yeah,

466
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,919
Speaker 1: because all the bs around it, Oh we are playing them, No,

467
00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:59,359
Speaker 1: you're playing the other team. Oh no, you're playing these guys,

468
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 1: don't forget you're playing the Chiefs first, then you'll play

469
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 1: the Sorry, you're playing the Titans in Nashville in forty

470
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 1: eight hours, go get them. Forget and forget about. How

471
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:11,920
Speaker 1: about this the post game? Yeah, Taylor Lauan and oh

472
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 1: my gosh, that they were it was Yeah. Let me

473
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:21,199
Speaker 1: just say this, that kind of stuff is gas on

474
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:24,920
Speaker 1: a fire, man. I'm telling you, it is a gas

475
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:26,879
Speaker 1: gas on a fire. If you're if you were around

476
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 1: for that game last year, it was it was just

477
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 1: it was gross the way you felt after that Tennessee game,

478
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 1: and those guys are gonna remember it. I'm telling you.

479
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 1: So this game this week, I got high hopes for

480
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 1: how it's gonna go. That doesn't say how it's gonna go.

481
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 1: I'm because Tennessee is a good football team. But you

482
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 1: get a team like Buffalo's, playing like they are, who's

483
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 1: getting I think probably with Milana. If Milana comes back

484
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 1: on the they're getting healthier, all that stuff going on,

485
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 1: and you come in focused and motivated going into a

486
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 1: bye week, I smell a fifty burger because I'll tell

487
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 1: you what, You're not gonna We're not gonna take it

488
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:11,240
Speaker 1: out of gear on these guys because if you get

489
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 1: a chance to see him next later in the season,

490
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 1: lump that break their heart. Now, yeah, I'm all for it.

491
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 1: I don't like that team's demeanor anyway. With Lawan at

492
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 1: the front of the list, Twitter conversation for you today,

493
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:32,040
Speaker 1: we have seen different players parts of this football team

494
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 1: step to the forefront this year, making it a different

495
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 1: looking team than the one we saw last year. So

496
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 1: that's why our Twitter conversation today is as follows whose

497
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 1: emergence has impressed you the most through five games this season.

498
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 1: Choices are there for you at one Bills Live on Twitter,

499
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 1: or you can give us a call eight oh three

500
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 1: five fifty one eight eight eight five fifty two five

501
00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 1: fifty some other things to pass a law. And that

502
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 1: came out of that Chiefs game. We saw Clyde Edwards

503
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 1: Hilaire leave the game with a knee injury. Got kind

504
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 1: of twisted up in the pile. He suffered a sprained MCL.

505
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 1: He is expected to miss a few weeks of action.

506
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 1: Believe they just signed a running back to their practice

507
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 1: squad as some backup, so they know they're not going

508
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 1: to have Oh, Elijah McGuire. That's the running back they

509
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 1: signed to their practice squad formerly of the Jets. I

510
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 1: think it was with another club recently too, so he's

511
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 1: on their practice squad as depth at running back as

512
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 1: Darryl Williams will be taking over the starting running back

513
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 1: duties for the Chiefs going forward. So there's that. Josh

514
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 1: Allen is also up for NFL FedEx Air Player of

515
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 1: the Week after his three hundred and fifteen yard passing performance.

516
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 1: Of course, he's up against Justin Herbert who threw for

517
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 1: three ninety eight and Tom Brady, who threw for over

518
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 1: four hundred and five touchdowns. Lamar and that's not even

519
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 1: counting Lamar Jackson, who threw for four forty two and

520
00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 1: four touchdowns. He wasn't even lumped into the group because

521
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:02,479
Speaker 1: he hadn't played yet. Yeah, and I gotta say this

522
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 1: real quick because I know we gotta go to break

523
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 1: about Lamar Jackson. I'm watching him in the first half.

524
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 1: The guy cannot hit Marky's Brown on a ten yard

525
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 1: out in the end zone when he's won on the route,

526
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 1: he can't hit him with the football. And then in

527
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 1: the second half he goes bonkers. I don't get it.

528
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 1: He's so up and down like some of the simplest

529
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 1: places can't make One of the things I saw about

530
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 1: that game last night. Early on, they were he was

531
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 1: dropping back, the Colts were rushing four, and it was

532
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 1: obvious they were like they just did not believe he

533
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 1: could throw it that well, So they saying, listen, we're

534
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:40,720
Speaker 1: not even gonna come in and try and tackle you,

535
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 1: because we know you were losing. We're just gonna try

536
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 1: and collapse the pocket, keep contain and by the deeper

537
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 1: into the first half, and then in the second half,

538
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 1: Lamar said, oh, they're not trying to tackle me. They're

539
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 1: just wanting me to throw it. So he stood back

540
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 1: there and got more and more comfortable standing back there,

541
00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 1: knowing that the defensive linemen we're not going to be

542
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 1: able to get to him. So he wasn't so jittery

543
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 1: bucks busting out trying. Now he you know, he's extended

544
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 1: some plays and all that and took off running once

545
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 1: in a while. But he started to get comfortable standing

546
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 1: back there and throwing the football from the pocket, knowing

547
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 1: that the plan of the Colts was almost daring him

548
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 1: to do that. So we did, and you know, it

549
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 1: turned into a twenty five point comeback or twenty two

550
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 1: point comeback and a win, so good for him. Their

551
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 1: second win in overtime this year. They beat the Chiefs

552
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 1: and now they beat the Colts, both in overtime in

553
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:37,479
Speaker 1: prime time. Ravens are a mentally tough team. You think

554
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 1: about all the injuries they went through before they even

555
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 1: played a game this season. I still don't know who

556
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:45,800
Speaker 1: they are per se, but there is no doubting the

557
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 1: mental toughness of that football team. Another overtime win, come

558
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 1: from behind fashion, and they are firmly in the conversation

559
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 1: for the top tier in the AFC. Break time for

560
00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 1: us here when we come back, we'll hear from head

561
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 1: coach McDermott as well as defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier. They

562
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 1: addressed the media on Monday after we went off the air.

563
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 1: We want to bring you some of their more noteworthy comments.

564
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:10,880
Speaker 1: Next here on one Bills Live presented by Kalida Health.

565
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bills Radio. Inside the number is brought to

566
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 1: you by the New York Lottery. Get out there and play.

567
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:31,280
Speaker 1: Bill safety Micah Hyde at a twenty six yard interception

568
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 1: return for a touchdown and third quarter against the Chiefs

569
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 1: to give the Bills a thirty one thirteen lead touchdown

570
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 1: was the fifth of Hyde's career, first by an interception.

571
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 1: It was his first touchdown since a forty five yard

572
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 1: return of an onside kick against Miami in October of

573
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. You know one thing they didn't put in there, Steve.

574
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 1: It's his third interception in three games. Yeah, he's got

575
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 1: a three game interception streak. Yeah, he does. Why don't

576
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 1: we pump that up team? Yeah? That the defense has

577
00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 1: been so good of late. And I think, and we

578
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 1: said this back in and Sean mcdermot's first year, the

579
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 1: thing that drove them forward and got them into the

580
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:10,399
Speaker 1: playoffs was the early season quick start and the fact

581
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 1: that it was fueled by turnovers. They're back to doing

582
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:16,880
Speaker 1: that again, and I think part of that if you

583
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 1: think back, it was the first year they had Mark

584
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 1: Trent Murphy, Jerry Hughes was on the other side. They

585
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:25,320
Speaker 1: had some guys that were rushing the past are really well.

586
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 1: And now you know, four years later, they've got those

587
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:32,840
Speaker 1: guys back, and that that that that group has really

588
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:36,320
Speaker 1: elevated and started to turn into I think it's started

589
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 1: to turn into opportunities in the back end, because the

590
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 1: front end is a is a bigger problem than it's

591
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 1: been in the past few couple of years. Yeah, but

592
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 1: leading the league and takeaways with fifteen and they are

593
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 1: a plus eleven and they won the turnover battle Sunday

594
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:58,040
Speaker 1: night for enough plus eleven is unbelievable after five games. Yeah,

595
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 1: that's that's right, there is it. That's a championship kind

596
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:05,719
Speaker 1: of kind of stretch, right, I mean if you could

597
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:08,719
Speaker 1: do that, I mean you can win games without doing

598
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 1: it's just going even in the turnover. Hard to beat

599
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 1: the Chiefs when you're even, it's hard to beat the Chiefs.

600
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:16,840
Speaker 1: And think about it. I just said it in the

601
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:22,000
Speaker 1: last segment. You know, you got the the interception by

602
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:27,359
Speaker 1: Rousseau down deep that was headed for points. You got

603
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 1: the fumbled snap late in the game by Mahomes that

604
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:37,400
Speaker 1: led that took points off the board. And the and

605
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:39,360
Speaker 1: the one that didn't mean anything was the one that

606
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 1: happened first, the kickoff return that got popped up in

607
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 1: the air and the Bills went three and out or

608
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 1: got a field goal. No, they got that's the one

609
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 1: where Josh got the intentional grounding and they ended up

610
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:53,879
Speaker 1: punting it away after beating setting up in fueld goal range. Yeah,

611
00:35:53,880 --> 00:36:00,200
Speaker 1: they got nothing on they got nothing. So uh, that is,

612
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:04,440
Speaker 1: aside from the score. Turnover margin is the stat that'll

613
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:06,360
Speaker 1: give you an idea about who's gonna win games, no

614
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 1: question about it. Eight oh three fifty plus fifteen. They

615
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:14,720
Speaker 1: are plus fifteen right now. Oh no, they have fifteen takeaways.

616
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:20,319
Speaker 1: They're plus eleven. Unbelievable. That's a it's a fat number. Yeah,

617
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:22,959
Speaker 1: it is fat number. It's a fat number. We wanted

618
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,879
Speaker 1: to pass along some sound from the coaches as they

619
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:30,319
Speaker 1: addressed the media late yesterday afternoon after that turnaround from

620
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 1: a late arrival Monday morning from Kansas City and in

621
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:40,200
Speaker 1: Land till about five in the morning after that weather delay. Rough,

622
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 1: but coach McDermott commented on Leslie Frasier. Uh, he was

623
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:49,359
Speaker 1: kind of talking about how coach Frasier is kind of cool,

624
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 1: common collected, pretty level headed even on the sidelines, doesn't

625
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:55,759
Speaker 1: get bent out of shape too much. And so here

626
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:59,760
Speaker 1: is coach mcdermot's take on how coach Frasier's demeanor impacts

627
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:08,239
Speaker 1: that he's incredible and his consistent um call it graceful demeanor. Uh,

628
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:10,359
Speaker 1: and I mean that it's a I guess a word

629
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:12,480
Speaker 1: that's not always used from the football industry here, But

630
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:18,920
Speaker 1: he's just got unbelievable poise about him. And and uh

631
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:22,480
Speaker 1: he's he's the veteran leader on our on our staff

632
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 1: from that stamploy and uh, you know, he and I

633
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:30,280
Speaker 1: have been through a lot together and I really count

634
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:32,959
Speaker 1: on him for a lot um and what he gives

635
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:36,400
Speaker 1: us here on our on our football team. And I

636
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:40,759
Speaker 1: you know, you see coaches that are yellers and screamers

637
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:44,919
Speaker 1: and and then you see coaches like Leslie's Fraser, who's

638
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:49,200
Speaker 1: a teacher and uh cares about the the players, cares

639
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 1: about his coaches on his staff, and um, he's a

640
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:57,239
Speaker 1: great listener as well. So just so many great qualities

641
00:37:57,239 --> 00:38:00,600
Speaker 1: that Leslie has that um that I wish I had

642
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:03,440
Speaker 1: sometimes more of them. Right, So I think we're all

643
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:07,800
Speaker 1: better being around Leslie Frasier on a daily basis. Yeah,

644
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 1: not surprising. And just listening to Leslie Frasier's players, they

645
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 1: appreciate it. I thought. Peter King had a great note

646
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:20,440
Speaker 1: in his Football Morning in America column on Monday. He

647
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:24,880
Speaker 1: talked to coach Frasier, and Coach Frasier told him that

648
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:27,919
Speaker 1: he put two words at the top of his call

649
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:33,759
Speaker 1: sheet for the game Sunday night, stay patient, don't get

650
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:36,839
Speaker 1: carried away and say we gotta blitz Mahomes now, because that,

651
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:40,680
Speaker 1: as we have seen by several other defenses, is a mistake.

652
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:43,360
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes came into the game number one in the

653
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:47,720
Speaker 1: league against the Blitz. They wisely chose not to blitz.

654
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 1: They relied on their front four dropped seven into coverage

655
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 1: almost the whole day, and it was effective enough in

656
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:58,960
Speaker 1: neutralizing them to their third lowest point output. You know,

657
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes start at a fifty one total starts. They

658
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,960
Speaker 1: played very well. They played really well. Certainly, Um, you

659
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:08,800
Speaker 1: got to give them some credit for the for the turnovers,

660
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 1: and one of them was a fumbled snap, which you

661
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:12,360
Speaker 1: know you can get that bounce and that's that's the

662
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 1: way it goes. Um. But being on being covering up

663
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:19,040
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill and getting the tipped interception and the play

664
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:25,000
Speaker 1: by Rousseau certainly deserves a lot of credit. Um. Yeah,

665
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:27,719
Speaker 1: that's it's that's what you have to do if you're

666
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 1: gonna win a game like that. They wanted by eighteen. Um,

667
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 1: that's the one thing that I kind of goes unnoticed,

668
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 1: and I mentioned it. The Bills beat the Chiefs worse

669
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:42,919
Speaker 1: on Sunday Night Football than the Chiefs beat the Bills

670
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:47,000
Speaker 1: in the AFC Championship game, and everybody said as a blowout,

671
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:49,880
Speaker 1: the thirty two point swing from January. People said, hey,

672
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:52,319
Speaker 1: they don't even they were Bills are not there yet,

673
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 1: They're not that well. The Bills went in there and

674
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:57,879
Speaker 1: punch them in a mouth and absolutely dominated that game.

675
00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 1: Josh Allen the only and for there was a couple

676
00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 1: of times, maybe the vast majority of drives that stalled

677
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:08,840
Speaker 1: for the Buffalo Bills were Bills problems, not Chiefs defense.

678
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:14,759
Speaker 1: And so that's the Bills were the better team. They

679
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 1: were just the better team on Sunday Night football, and

680
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:22,600
Speaker 1: they were better by a wider margin than the Chiefs

681
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 1: were better at the AFC Championship game eight months ago.

682
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:29,200
Speaker 1: So you know, and and our Bills fans are right.

683
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:32,759
Speaker 1: The Bills aren't getting as much credit for that as

684
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 1: the Chiefs did when they beat the Bills. But you know,

685
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:39,240
Speaker 1: there's a lot of football to be played this season.

686
00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:42,120
Speaker 1: We'll see if they can put an exclamation point on that,

687
00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:46,440
Speaker 1: because I at this point, there's no question it's true. Yeah.

688
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:51,720
Speaker 1: Coach Frasier, we mentioned, decided not to blitz in the game,

689
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:57,120
Speaker 1: and so that obviously played out in the Bill's favor.

690
00:40:57,680 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 1: Here is Coach Frasier on his decision to make the

691
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:05,759
Speaker 1: bulk of the game plan not blitzing the Chiefs. I

692
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 1: don't know if I've ever been in a game where

693
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:12,480
Speaker 1: we didn't pressure at least once, so this was unusual.

694
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:15,960
Speaker 1: But for this opponent, it was the right thing to do.

695
00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 1: You know, when we when we studied and when we

696
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 1: studied Kansas City in our offense and just watching Mahomes

697
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:25,920
Speaker 1: and how he operated versus pressure. Man, it just created

698
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 1: a lot of problems for defenses because of his ability

699
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:32,440
Speaker 1: to be able to see things identified early and make

700
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:35,799
Speaker 1: you pay sometimes for bringing pressure. Now I'm not saying

701
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:38,600
Speaker 1: that'll always be the strategy, but for this game, that

702
00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:41,799
Speaker 1: was the right thing to do. Yeah, And that's got

703
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:44,600
Speaker 1: to be hard for a coordinator because you know, you

704
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:46,960
Speaker 1: want to mix things up. You don't always want to

705
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:52,480
Speaker 1: feel like you're giving the quarterback time to operate. He

706
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:55,240
Speaker 1: really had to put his faith in the front four

707
00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:59,360
Speaker 1: to at least move him off his spot disrupt the

708
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 1: timing of passing game. If they couldn't get him on

709
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:04,319
Speaker 1: the ground, and I think for the most part, the

710
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:06,720
Speaker 1: front four, which was a heavy rotation at eight guys,

711
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:11,640
Speaker 1: did that to his credit. I was watching the game

712
00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:13,600
Speaker 1: on the broadcast, and this is something that Chris collins

713
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:15,400
Speaker 1: Worth touched on when he spoken, and he put it

714
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:17,719
Speaker 1: in a really nice way that Leslie Fraser had told him.

715
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 1: You get you get into that chance, like in the

716
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:21,600
Speaker 1: AFC Championship game or whatever. You get your You call

717
00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:25,880
Speaker 1: a defense and you don't bring pressure, and your guys

718
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:28,040
Speaker 1: get in and it's working exactly the way you want it,

719
00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:30,040
Speaker 1: and you get a free guy and the guy breaks contain,

720
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:31,920
Speaker 1: goes out and then throws it, you know, and throws

721
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:33,319
Speaker 1: a good and gets a good gain out of it

722
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 1: and stuff. The defense called worked perfectly. And the guy

723
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:39,480
Speaker 1: just made a play against you. You can't let that

724
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:45,439
Speaker 1: the result of that play color. You're understanding of how

725
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:47,719
Speaker 1: good the call was and the fact that it actually works,

726
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 1: So you gotta kind of hang in there with it. Yeah,

727
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:51,800
Speaker 1: he made a play against you, but your defense is

728
00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:54,239
Speaker 1: the call of the defense is perfect. You know. He's

729
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:57,360
Speaker 1: just Patrick Mahomes. Yeah, So you gotta trust your guys

730
00:42:57,400 --> 00:42:59,080
Speaker 1: that they're gonna make a play once in a while,

731
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:03,680
Speaker 1: and defense of Lee one, you know, one place, you know,

732
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:06,520
Speaker 1: that's all you need, you know, get him off the field.

733
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:10,239
Speaker 1: So and that's hard to do, becauld you're sitting there

734
00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:12,600
Speaker 1: and you think, I gotta get him. I gotta get him.

735
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:15,359
Speaker 1: But you've got a guy running free on him a lot,

736
00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:18,560
Speaker 1: and he's just an athletic enough guy to get around it.

737
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:23,359
Speaker 1: You can't let that, you know, change the way your

738
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:25,839
Speaker 1: philosophy was put in there, and he does a great

739
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:29,239
Speaker 1: job of it and having the awareness to understand that

740
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:32,680
Speaker 1: and have the discipline not to call an extra pressure

741
00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:35,160
Speaker 1: when I changed my mind. We're doing it. Yeah, we

742
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:40,520
Speaker 1: gotta get him. It's it's really really a pro coach move.

743
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:43,000
Speaker 1: All right, break time for us here when we come back.

744
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:45,640
Speaker 1: A couple more comments from coach Frazier and coach Brian

745
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:49,120
Speaker 1: Dable as he talked about the chemistry between Josh Allen

746
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:52,279
Speaker 1: and Dawson Knox. Those comments are coming your way as

747
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:55,640
Speaker 1: well as Kyle Brandt in our number two Stay tuned

Speaker 1: over a man, dive forward, he's close to the first down.

752
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:19,799
Speaker 1: Did he get the first down? No signal yet, Yes,

753
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:24,160

Speaker 1: sometimes you gotta get. Lucky for him, you know, being

757

758
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:38,399
Speaker 1: hit low and in that situation, it looked out. I'll

759
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:41,160
Speaker 1: take him. Yeah, I'll take that first down. He can

760
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:43,759
Speaker 1: he can jump over me if he wants that first time.

761
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:49,120
Speaker 1: That is the Freedola Crunch time play the game. Freedo La,

Speaker 1: Every That is the play of that game. Well, it's

764
00:44:56,440 --> 00:45:03,440
Speaker 1: very symbolic, very emblematic, because it is probably the personification

765
00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:07,400
Speaker 1: of the Bills moving up and over the Chiefs in

766
00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:10,200
Speaker 1: the hierarchy of the AFC. Yeah, I mean they are

767
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:13,560
Speaker 1: literally leap frogging them in the pecking order of the

768
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:18,520
Speaker 1: AFC with that win. Yeah, and I'll say this to

769
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:21,640
Speaker 1: the Chiefs are still a good football team. But man,

770
00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:26,879
Speaker 1: oh Man two and three after five games. They don't

771
00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:35,640
Speaker 1: have that unbeatable mystique. Three conference losses, Steve, they got

772
00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:38,120
Speaker 1: some work to do. They still here's the thing, they

773
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:40,440
Speaker 1: still strike me as a playoff team because they do

774
00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:44,719
Speaker 1: have that offense. But think about it. They beat Cleveland.

775
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:50,080
Speaker 1: It what an overtime was it week one? It was no,

776
00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:51,879
Speaker 1: it was not overtime. They beat him in regulation, beat

777
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:55,000
Speaker 1: him in beat Cleveland lost to Baltimore and overtime lost

778
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:58,080
Speaker 1: the ball. Baltimore lost to buff Argers and lost to

779
00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:07,160
Speaker 1: the Chargers. The Chargers, Buffalo, Cleveland, but Baltimore, now you know,

780
00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:09,799
Speaker 1: then you've got and the standings are. Let's see, here

781
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:11,560
Speaker 1: we are. They're in the bottom of the AFC West,

782
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:16,319
Speaker 1: the division, the seven. The last team in the playoffs

783
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:20,799
Speaker 1: is there's I think Cincinnati's in there. So here are

784
00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:24,399
Speaker 1: their tough games. Okay, right. They got Washington this week,

785
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:32,239
Speaker 1: Tennessee Giants, then Green Bay, Las Vegas, Dallas, Denver, Las

786
00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:36,120
Speaker 1: Vegas again, the Chargers again, Steelers, Bengals, and then they

787
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:40,840
Speaker 1: finish up with Denver. Though the last three games you

788
00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:44,240
Speaker 1: got the four division leaders, the Chargers in Baltimore, Buffalo,

789
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:48,400
Speaker 1: and Tennessee. You know, the West the north, the East,

790
00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:51,680
Speaker 1: and the south. The last three teams are Number five

791
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:54,520
Speaker 1: is Cincinnati, Number six is Denver. Number seven's Las Vegas.

792
00:46:55,640 --> 00:47:01,279
Speaker 1: None of those teams strike me as playoff team, but

793
00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:03,799
Speaker 1: those who now are seventeen. Vegas is the last one

794
00:47:03,880 --> 00:47:08,440
Speaker 1: tennessee a Cincinnati, Denver in Vegas. But Cleveland, New England,

795
00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:14,200
Speaker 1: Kansas City, and I'll tell you this at fifteen, Indianapolis

796
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:17,000
Speaker 1: is a team I worry more about. Well, Carson Wentz

797
00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:18,960
Speaker 1: is starting to look like the old Carson Wentz. Now

798
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:20,960
Speaker 1: they took it from the four hundred yards last night.

799
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:22,480
Speaker 1: They took it on the chin. Last night they were

800
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:26,000
Speaker 1: one and four. But with seven teams in the playoffs,

801
00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:32,480
Speaker 1: if they go let's see fourty and nine, if they

802
00:47:32,600 --> 00:47:36,399
Speaker 1: go twelve and five, twelve and six, even so they

803
00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:39,439
Speaker 1: eleven six, you could be the seventh seed. At eleven,

804
00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:42,960
Speaker 1: ten and seven, it'd be close. But yeah, ten and

805
00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:45,319
Speaker 1: seven might probably get into some tiebreakers there. At ten

806
00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:49,480
Speaker 1: and seven, eleven and six, you're probably the seventh seed, right, Yeah,

807
00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:52,120
Speaker 1: I mean they can go do it. Absolutely, there's enough

808
00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:54,360
Speaker 1: time they've got and they've got a team that can

809
00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:56,040
Speaker 1: really do it too. They played really well in the

810
00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:57,960
Speaker 1: face They're one and four, though, so you can really

811
00:47:58,239 --> 00:47:59,960
Speaker 1: only lose in two more games the rest of the way.

812
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:01,759
Speaker 1: It's a tough row to home. I can't get my

813
00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:04,719
Speaker 1: mind around Cincinnati in Denver with the way their offense is,

814
00:48:04,760 --> 00:48:08,080
Speaker 1: they're the way they're well Cincinnati just because it's Cincinnati.

815
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:13,560
Speaker 1: I'll admit to some bias there. Las Vegas just lost

816
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:18,399
Speaker 1: their head coach and they've lost two straight. Yeah, Denver

817
00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:22,320
Speaker 1: can't play offense, and they don't have a quarterback. I

818
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:26,000
Speaker 1: just those three teams, Cincinnati, Denver, Las Vegas. Man, they

819
00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:28,000
Speaker 1: just do not strike me as a team that's gonna

820
00:48:28,040 --> 00:48:31,240
Speaker 1: be there at the end. Cincinnati has a quarterback who's

821
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:33,360
Speaker 1: playing really well right now. They have to fix some

822
00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:37,759
Speaker 1: things on defense. Denver needs more consistency on offense, but

823
00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:40,360
Speaker 1: they just have to get healthy. They still don't have

824
00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:43,719
Speaker 1: Jerry Judy back in the lineup. J Hammler was lost

825
00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:47,600
Speaker 1: for the season, their slot receiver, So they've got they've

826
00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:49,680
Speaker 1: got to get healthy again, and then we have to

827
00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:51,759
Speaker 1: see what they are. New England's not out of it,

828
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:53,640
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh's not out of it, but New England, you know

829
00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:56,120
Speaker 1: they're gonna get better as the season rolls. On Pittsburgh's

830
00:48:56,120 --> 00:48:58,360
Speaker 1: in trouble Juju Smith Schuster could be lost for the

831
00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:01,520
Speaker 1: year with a shoulder injury. They still have offensive line

832
00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:03,919
Speaker 1: issues that can't run the football. Do you have any

833
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:06,280
Speaker 1: I've got the thirty first in the league and rushing.

834
00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:09,440
Speaker 1: There are two teams, two teams in our division, the

835
00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:12,240
Speaker 1: Bill's Division, that are one in four, Miami and the Jets.

836
00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:14,600
Speaker 1: Miami has the second easiest schedule in the league the

837
00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:17,080
Speaker 1: rest of the way, next to Buffalo. Let me just

838
00:49:17,160 --> 00:49:19,279
Speaker 1: say this, though, you and I sat right here and

839
00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:21,800
Speaker 1: said it and called it. The first five games of

840
00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:25,120
Speaker 1: the season brutal schedule for Miami. Brutal, And for some reason,

841
00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:29,760
Speaker 1: their defensive philosophy continues to be we have the corners

842
00:49:29,840 --> 00:49:32,759
Speaker 1: to play man defense. The problem is they don't have

843
00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:35,399
Speaker 1: a pass rush to save their lives. They're hanging their

844
00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:37,680
Speaker 1: corners out to dry every single week, asking them to

845
00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:40,600
Speaker 1: cover five or six seconds on every single play, and

846
00:49:40,680 --> 00:49:45,840
Speaker 1: they're wondering why they're getting torched. Torched it. There is

847
00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:50,360
Speaker 1: a core philosophy that is horribly miscalculated in Miami. I

848
00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:53,480
Speaker 1: don't get it. And they missed on the quarterback. All right,

849
00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:56,400
Speaker 1: we take a break, But when we come back our

850
00:49:56,560 --> 00:50:01,120
Speaker 1: number two and who's coming for his week appearance? One

851
00:50:01,239 --> 00:50:03,320
Speaker 1: Kyle Brand from Good Morning Football. You know want to

852
00:50:03,360 --> 00:50:06,239
Speaker 1: miss this one? You're on One Bill's Live, presented by

853
00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:25,320
Speaker 1: Kellid to Health. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio at a Steve

854
00:50:25,640 --> 00:50:28,880
Speaker 1: taster who has been all over the fields. Kind of unique.

855
00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:31,120
Speaker 1: He was kind of a dual role player for you, Steve,

856
00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:37,440
Speaker 1: Steve a blimp. We're not even in the stradit sphere

857
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:42,640
Speaker 1: of normalcy. You want to throw a quick store this

858
00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:46,120
Speaker 1: for Sunday night or No? Of course I do, Yeah, um,

859
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:48,880
Speaker 1: I have. I don't think about these things beforehand. I

860
00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:53,040
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be a h thirty seven to twenty

861
00:50:53,120 --> 00:50:57,319
Speaker 1: six Buffalo, Yeah, okay, thirty seven twenty six another recordings.

862
00:50:57,719 --> 00:50:59,800
Speaker 1: We can play it back. Yes, they're winning by a

863
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:02,480
Speaker 1: eleven points and all hell's going to break loose in

864
00:51:02,560 --> 00:51:05,280
Speaker 1: Kansas City. Thirty seven to twenty six playback next week. Wow,

865
00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:09,000
Speaker 1: that would be their fourth rate plus point victory the

866
00:51:09,120 --> 00:51:13,680
Speaker 1: Tattered Remains of the Chiefs. Pretty darn close he was.

867
00:51:14,520 --> 00:51:16,440
Speaker 1: He was only off by a touchdown, and if you

868
00:51:16,600 --> 00:51:19,279
Speaker 1: count the Mica Hyde interception return, that's the extra seven

869
00:51:19,360 --> 00:51:21,640
Speaker 1: points there that he probably didn't account for, but Kyle

870
00:51:21,719 --> 00:51:25,719
Speaker 1: Brandt was pretty close to being on the money. And

871
00:51:26,440 --> 00:51:29,760
Speaker 1: here we are, Kyle. I you know, they win by eighteen,

872
00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:32,399
Speaker 1: and as Steve pointed out earlier on our show, here

873
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:37,800
Speaker 1: it's a thirty two points swing from the AFC title

874
00:51:37,880 --> 00:51:40,839
Speaker 1: game that the Bills lost by fourteen to a win

875
00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:44,680
Speaker 1: in week five by eighteen. I know every year is different.

876
00:51:44,840 --> 00:51:47,440
Speaker 1: These two teams have changed, but as you mentioned last week,

877
00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:50,400
Speaker 1: you saw the Bills as still an ascending team. The

878
00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:52,759
Speaker 1: Chiefs have probably leveled off, although they're still in a

879
00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:56,000
Speaker 1: pretty good place. But where does this game leave you

880
00:51:56,880 --> 00:52:01,080
Speaker 1: in terms of your look at the AFC pecking order? Sorry,

881
00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:03,759
Speaker 1: that was a very long, windy question. That's okay. I

882
00:52:04,560 --> 00:52:07,640
Speaker 1: look at the Kansas City Chiefs much like I look

883
00:52:07,719 --> 00:52:10,359
Speaker 1: at Steve Tasker. It'd be nice if they show up

884
00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:12,520
Speaker 1: to work. Yeah, what are we doing here? How long

885
00:52:12,600 --> 00:52:15,399
Speaker 1: do we have to wait? Wow? I missed you. It's

886
00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:18,359
Speaker 1: great to see you. Congratulations and everything in your family life.

887
00:52:18,400 --> 00:52:20,960
Speaker 1: How are you? I'm awesome, man, I'm not as awesome

888
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:23,800
Speaker 1: as you are nailing the pick on you know before

889
00:52:23,840 --> 00:52:25,959
Speaker 1: it happens. I'm not on that kind of hot streak.

890
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:27,400
Speaker 1: But it's good to be back. It is thank you,

891
00:52:27,640 --> 00:52:30,840
Speaker 1: thank you. I listen, I'm not gonna take a victory

892
00:52:30,920 --> 00:52:33,440
Speaker 1: lab Brownie, and that I should say, go on an

893
00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:37,080
Speaker 1: apology tour to everyone on the Buffalo Bill's defense who

894
00:52:37,120 --> 00:52:39,560
Speaker 1: I insulted by saying they'd give up that many points

895
00:52:39,960 --> 00:52:42,680
Speaker 1: to what used to be the Chiefs, what really used

896
00:52:42,719 --> 00:52:45,840
Speaker 1: to be that team, guys. That was an annihilation that

897
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:49,680
Speaker 1: was never close. It was never in doubt. I thought

898
00:52:49,680 --> 00:52:51,120
Speaker 1: the Bills are gonna win that game. A lot of

899
00:52:51,160 --> 00:52:53,839
Speaker 1: people did, even on the national broadcast. I don't think

900
00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:56,520
Speaker 1: anybody thought they were gonna win by that much at

901
00:52:56,680 --> 00:52:58,680
Speaker 1: Arrowhead against that. I don't care how bad the Chiefs

902
00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:01,480
Speaker 1: D's playing. They got players, they got made guys. They

903
00:53:01,520 --> 00:53:02,640
Speaker 1: got guys that are gonna go to the Hall of

904
00:53:02,680 --> 00:53:06,080
Speaker 1: Fames someday. That was never in doubts, like bring me

905
00:53:06,200 --> 00:53:10,360
Speaker 1: out somebody, you mean Herbert or Mayfield or Davis Mills

906
00:53:10,480 --> 00:53:12,600
Speaker 1: or somebody who can give the Bills a challenge. That

907
00:53:12,719 --> 00:53:15,000
Speaker 1: was an annihilation. I mean, like if you want to

908
00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:19,239
Speaker 1: lit miss test or where an absolute annihilation. Even in

909
00:53:19,360 --> 00:53:21,719
Speaker 1: my wildest dreams, and you know I got some crazy ones,

910
00:53:21,880 --> 00:53:23,919
Speaker 1: I never thought that she wouldn't compete. I never thought

911
00:53:23,960 --> 00:53:27,279
Speaker 1: that game was in contest. Ever, Yeah, I would agree

912
00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:29,200
Speaker 1: with you. The Bills were the better team, no question,

913
00:53:29,520 --> 00:53:31,920
Speaker 1: even though it was it was a it was a

914
00:53:31,960 --> 00:53:35,560
Speaker 1: weird situation. Got another rain delay at lightning delay. The

915
00:53:35,680 --> 00:53:38,400
Speaker 1: game took forever to get finished. They'd finished in a

916
00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:42,520
Speaker 1: driving rainstorm. And we've been there's been some doubt raised

917
00:53:42,719 --> 00:53:45,840
Speaker 1: by you know, there's always critics out there, even of

918
00:53:45,920 --> 00:53:49,359
Speaker 1: the Bills. Josh Allen has played really well this year,

919
00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:50,719
Speaker 1: not as well as he did last year, but he

920
00:53:50,760 --> 00:53:54,640
Speaker 1: also had two games this year and driving rainstorms and

921
00:53:55,080 --> 00:53:58,319
Speaker 1: still is lighting people up with, you know, thirty eight

922
00:53:58,520 --> 00:54:02,000
Speaker 1: forty three points a game. We've thought talked about how

923
00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:03,920
Speaker 1: this offense really maybe isn't as good as it was

924
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:06,920
Speaker 1: last year, isn't as productive, But how much of that

925
00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:10,399
Speaker 1: goes into the conditions they faced And certainly they haven't

926
00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:14,640
Speaker 1: faced a daunting defense yet. But where do you think

927
00:54:14,680 --> 00:54:18,640
Speaker 1: this offense is right now? Certainly their defense is number one? Well, Steve,

928
00:54:18,840 --> 00:54:20,840
Speaker 1: I mean, nobody knows more about conditions than you, and

929
00:54:20,920 --> 00:54:23,719
Speaker 1: I looked at the play delay in that thing as

930
00:54:23,719 --> 00:54:27,439
Speaker 1: actually another test think about this, So let's go back.

931
00:54:27,600 --> 00:54:29,759
Speaker 1: You know, if There's been times that games have been

932
00:54:29,800 --> 00:54:32,520
Speaker 1: stopped and there's rain delays and power delays and all

933
00:54:32,520 --> 00:54:35,359
Speaker 1: that stuff, and the teams lose their energy, they lose

934
00:54:35,400 --> 00:54:37,800
Speaker 1: all their mojo. That was a gift to the Chiefs

935
00:54:37,880 --> 00:54:40,759
Speaker 1: that that happened. That was a gift because you're getting killed. Now,

936
00:54:40,840 --> 00:54:43,800
Speaker 1: let's let everybody relax. Everybody calmed down. No, no, like,

937
00:54:44,280 --> 00:54:47,040
Speaker 1: if anything, the Bills were emboldened by that. They came

938
00:54:47,080 --> 00:54:50,680
Speaker 1: out even better. I just I cannot believe I said

939
00:54:50,719 --> 00:54:53,760
Speaker 1: this afterwards. The defense of the Chiefs, of course, is pulp.

940
00:54:54,080 --> 00:54:57,000
Speaker 1: It's terrible. It really is very very bad, and I

941
00:54:57,080 --> 00:54:59,680
Speaker 1: don't think they're going to fix it. But my problem

942
00:54:59,719 --> 00:55:01,279
Speaker 1: with that game, and if you want to talk about

943
00:55:01,280 --> 00:55:04,319
Speaker 1: the Chiefs defense, that's the problem itself everyone is there's

944
00:55:04,360 --> 00:55:06,720
Speaker 1: was so much focus on the Chiefs after that games.

945
00:55:06,960 --> 00:55:09,560
Speaker 1: What's wrong with the Chiefs? Never mind the Chiefs for

946
00:55:09,560 --> 00:55:12,120
Speaker 1: a second, because because the scariest thing if you're a

947
00:55:12,200 --> 00:55:14,759
Speaker 1: Chiefs fan, and I've said this to them myself, that

948
00:55:14,920 --> 00:55:17,200
Speaker 1: there is nothing wrong with you, that you're just are

949
00:55:17,280 --> 00:55:19,360
Speaker 1: what you are, and the other teams are better. The

950
00:55:19,440 --> 00:55:22,000
Speaker 1: other team's gotten much better. Josh Allen is a much

951
00:55:22,040 --> 00:55:25,320
Speaker 1: better quarterback than he was two years ago. Justin Herbert Baker, Mayfield,

952
00:55:25,400 --> 00:55:28,640
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, all these guys were beating them. They're way

953
00:55:28,800 --> 00:55:31,879
Speaker 1: better than they were a month ago, a year ago.

954
00:55:32,080 --> 00:55:34,560
Speaker 1: So I don't know what the fixes for the Chiefs.

955
00:55:34,880 --> 00:55:37,359
Speaker 1: I don't really care. It's they're two and three team,

956
00:55:37,400 --> 00:55:39,040
Speaker 1: I think right now. I don't even know what their records.

957
00:55:39,040 --> 00:55:41,080
Speaker 1: I think it's two and three. The Bills are the

958
00:55:41,200 --> 00:55:43,440
Speaker 1: problem here for them, And it's not like I know

959
00:55:43,600 --> 00:55:45,080
Speaker 1: that they don't have the greatest defense in the world.

960
00:55:45,080 --> 00:55:47,680
Speaker 1: I don't care when you beat bad teams, like if

961
00:55:47,719 --> 00:55:50,000
Speaker 1: you're whether it's the Dolphins, whether it's the Texas, if

962
00:55:50,040 --> 00:55:52,360
Speaker 1: you punish them, then you get the due rewards, and

963
00:55:52,400 --> 00:55:55,160
Speaker 1: they punish the Chiefs. What do we It's not the

964
00:55:55,239 --> 00:55:57,759
Speaker 1: Bill's fault as to how their schedule lays out here,

965
00:55:57,800 --> 00:55:59,800
Speaker 1: and it's one of the easiest remaining schedules in the

966
00:56:00,120 --> 00:56:02,000
Speaker 1: entire league. You can't blame them for who they have

967
00:56:02,160 --> 00:56:05,479
Speaker 1: to play. But after five games, Kyle, they're already number

968
00:56:05,520 --> 00:56:07,800
Speaker 1: one in points four and number one in points against.

969
00:56:08,480 --> 00:56:11,560
Speaker 1: And after this Titans game, which always seems to be

970
00:56:11,640 --> 00:56:15,560
Speaker 1: a plucky affair with them, Dlphins Jags, Jets. I mean,

971
00:56:16,640 --> 00:56:19,400
Speaker 1: jeza yi. I mean they could be plus two hundred

972
00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:22,200
Speaker 1: in a point differential by the time they get through

973
00:56:22,239 --> 00:56:26,000
Speaker 1: these next four games. I think the Titans one's interesting, Brownie.

974
00:56:26,760 --> 00:56:30,080
Speaker 1: If someone were to say, all right, pick one thing

975
00:56:30,320 --> 00:56:32,480
Speaker 1: on the Bills, you know they're they're the best team

976
00:56:32,520 --> 00:56:34,000
Speaker 1: in the league. I think I think they're better than

977
00:56:34,040 --> 00:56:36,160
Speaker 1: the Cardinals, with due respect to the Cardinals record. And

978
00:56:36,239 --> 00:56:38,319
Speaker 1: I know today it's Power Ranking Tuesday, and all these

979
00:56:38,320 --> 00:56:40,120
Speaker 1: outlets are putting the Bills at number one, and I agree.

980
00:56:40,160 --> 00:56:41,680
Speaker 1: I think they're the best team out of thirty two.

981
00:56:42,280 --> 00:56:44,440
Speaker 1: Where if you can pick one thing that's just a

982
00:56:44,719 --> 00:56:47,920
Speaker 1: little concerning, like a little weakness in the armor on

983
00:56:48,120 --> 00:56:50,560
Speaker 1: this team, if I had to pick one, I would

984
00:56:50,560 --> 00:56:54,480
Speaker 1: say a team that just runs directly at them with

985
00:56:55,000 --> 00:56:57,080
Speaker 1: brute force, and it's not going to be the pretty

986
00:56:57,120 --> 00:56:59,560
Speaker 1: passing game and it's going to be someone like the

987
00:56:59,719 --> 00:57:02,920
Speaker 1: Raves or someone like the Titans. That's why I love

988
00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:06,000
Speaker 1: this matchup because I don't think anybody can throw with Buffalo.

989
00:57:06,200 --> 00:57:08,040
Speaker 1: I think the secondary and the past rush are great.

990
00:57:08,239 --> 00:57:10,600
Speaker 1: I'm fascinated to see if in the first seven snaps

991
00:57:10,640 --> 00:57:12,959
Speaker 1: of this game, if Derrick Henry gets five carries because

992
00:57:13,040 --> 00:57:14,640
Speaker 1: let's just take a second. I know the game is

993
00:57:14,680 --> 00:57:18,160
Speaker 1: six days from now. I'm not here for the normalization

994
00:57:18,240 --> 00:57:20,360
Speaker 1: of Derrick Henry. Everyone seems to be well, he's just

995
00:57:20,480 --> 00:57:23,680
Speaker 1: gonna do what he does, and he's special. It's beyond special.

996
00:57:23,920 --> 00:57:26,280
Speaker 1: I've looked this up. In all the two thousand yard

997
00:57:26,360 --> 00:57:30,000
Speaker 1: rushers in history, I think there's eight all of them.

998
00:57:30,120 --> 00:57:32,200
Speaker 1: The highest they ever had the next year and the

999
00:57:32,280 --> 00:57:34,520
Speaker 1: next year is fourteen hundred and that was Barry Sanders.

1000
00:57:34,760 --> 00:57:38,040
Speaker 1: The smallest drop off is six heaven hundred yards. Derrick

1001
00:57:38,080 --> 00:57:39,840
Speaker 1: Henry is already doing one hundred and thirty yards a

1002
00:57:39,920 --> 00:57:42,280
Speaker 1: game this year. He's gonna go for twenty one hundred

1003
00:57:42,280 --> 00:57:44,480
Speaker 1: if he even kicks close to this over the last

1004
00:57:44,680 --> 00:57:47,160
Speaker 1: There's never been a forty game period in NFL history

1005
00:57:47,440 --> 00:57:49,360
Speaker 1: when any running backs had more game where yards than

1006
00:57:49,400 --> 00:57:52,280
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry over the last forty games. Not Jim Brown,

1007
00:57:52,440 --> 00:57:55,840
Speaker 1: not Eric Dickerson. He is truly an anomaly who is

1008
00:57:55,880 --> 00:57:58,760
Speaker 1: getting better and better. So do the Bills have the

1009
00:57:58,840 --> 00:58:00,640
Speaker 1: teeth for that? So they have the spine? Do they

1010
00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:02,480
Speaker 1: have the jaw? I know the secondary is great, the

1011
00:58:02,560 --> 00:58:05,240
Speaker 1: young pastors looks good. The offense is great. Can they

1012
00:58:05,400 --> 00:58:07,880
Speaker 1: play the slowdown game against the like the most powerful

1013
00:58:07,960 --> 00:58:10,040
Speaker 1: running back in the game. That's the only place I

1014
00:58:10,080 --> 00:58:12,680
Speaker 1: would point to be like, I'm not sure yet, and

1015
00:58:12,720 --> 00:58:14,800
Speaker 1: we'll find out next Monday. One of the things we've

1016
00:58:14,840 --> 00:58:16,960
Speaker 1: talked about here, Kyle, is the last year the team.

1017
00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:19,600
Speaker 1: It was the COVID game where Tennessee had nineteen guys

1018
00:58:19,640 --> 00:58:22,240
Speaker 1: on the COVID list. The game was gonna be pushed back,

1019
00:58:22,280 --> 00:58:23,960
Speaker 1: it was gonna be canceled, it was gonna be the

1020
00:58:24,040 --> 00:58:25,760
Speaker 1: eighteenth week. Then they brought it back and said, no,

1021
00:58:25,800 --> 00:58:28,320
Speaker 1: you're gonna play him, and you're gonna play him on Monday, Tuesday,

1022
00:58:28,320 --> 00:58:29,920
Speaker 1: and then Tuesday. And then he said, no, you're not

1023
00:58:29,920 --> 00:58:31,840
Speaker 1: gonna play him on Monday. You're gonna play the Chiefs.

1024
00:58:31,840 --> 00:58:34,080
Speaker 1: You're gonna move your Week six game. You're gonna move

1025
00:58:34,080 --> 00:58:36,080
Speaker 1: the Chiefs and you're gonna flip flop those games. Okay,

1026
00:58:36,080 --> 00:58:37,960
Speaker 1: then you're gonna go play Kansas season And they said,

1027
00:58:37,960 --> 00:58:39,560
Speaker 1: we'll wait a minute, we'll tell you exactly what. And

1028
00:58:39,640 --> 00:58:41,800
Speaker 1: then they moved it again, say you're gonna play the Titans,

1029
00:58:41,840 --> 00:58:44,400
Speaker 1: but you're gonna play him on Tuesday. So this game

1030
00:58:44,480 --> 00:58:47,400
Speaker 1: got yo yoed around, and the Titans played it like

1031
00:58:47,520 --> 00:58:49,960
Speaker 1: they got reprieve from death row, which is right they did.

1032
00:58:50,040 --> 00:58:52,080
Speaker 1: They were the pariet they were gonna get canceled from

1033
00:58:52,120 --> 00:58:53,680
Speaker 1: the league. They were the reason the league was gonna

1034
00:58:53,800 --> 00:58:56,760
Speaker 1: lose the entire season, and they got a chance to play,

1035
00:58:56,840 --> 00:58:58,880
Speaker 1: and the Bills were forced to go into this leper

1036
00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:02,440
Speaker 1: colony and play with these guys, right So, and then

1037
00:59:02,600 --> 00:59:06,320
Speaker 1: after the game, it was ugly, the rhetoric coming out

1038
00:59:06,360 --> 00:59:10,800
Speaker 1: of Tennessee. It was so Brownie, it's this is my belief.

1039
00:59:12,440 --> 00:59:14,720
Speaker 1: As much as the Chiefs game was a revenge game

1040
00:59:14,720 --> 00:59:17,440
Speaker 1: because of the FC championship game, this one there's a

1041
00:59:17,560 --> 00:59:21,440
Speaker 1: lot of bullets for ammo in, Sean McDermott and this

1042
00:59:21,520 --> 00:59:24,840
Speaker 1: coaching staff to get this team really really revved to

1043
00:59:24,960 --> 00:59:28,200
Speaker 1: play this Tennessee team who who laid it to them

1044
00:59:28,240 --> 00:59:30,080
Speaker 1: pretty good last year in a year where they played

1045
00:59:30,120 --> 00:59:34,720
Speaker 1: really and then talk smack afterwards. So it's my thought,

1046
00:59:34,760 --> 00:59:37,040
Speaker 1: and I told Brownie this, I'm I smell a forty

1047
00:59:37,080 --> 00:59:40,800
Speaker 1: burger from from Josh and this crew, because they're gonna

1048
00:59:40,800 --> 00:59:42,840
Speaker 1: go in there with a with a real particularly if

1049
00:59:42,880 --> 00:59:45,560
Speaker 1: it's a nice night for a change and they don't

1050
00:59:45,560 --> 00:59:48,120
Speaker 1: have to play in a rainstorm. Um, knowing what I

1051
00:59:48,200 --> 00:59:51,080
Speaker 1: know about NFL football teams, this is a perfect opportunity

1052
00:59:51,160 --> 00:59:55,040
Speaker 1: for them to flex. Yeah, a forty burger, fresh off

1053
00:59:55,080 --> 00:59:56,880
Speaker 1: the growth and tasker. I love it a lot to

1054
00:59:57,000 --> 01:00:00,360
Speaker 1: unpack there. First of all, when you were recapping last

1055
01:00:00,440 --> 01:00:03,360
Speaker 1: year and all that nonsense in this city, I had

1056
01:00:03,440 --> 01:00:05,720
Speaker 1: some sort of post traumatic almost fell off my chair

1057
01:00:05,880 --> 01:00:08,240
Speaker 1: about how stressful last season one is and what a

1058
01:00:08,400 --> 01:00:10,960
Speaker 1: mess it was. Now, isn't it nice to all we

1059
01:00:11,040 --> 01:00:13,240
Speaker 1: have to worry about now on the field at least,

1060
01:00:13,280 --> 01:00:15,760
Speaker 1: it's just nobody can make an extra point. I'll take

1061
01:00:15,920 --> 01:00:18,800
Speaker 1: that all day. I'll take kickers messing. I don't want

1062
01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:22,080
Speaker 1: to rescheduling and proximity this, proximity that. But now I'm

1063
01:00:22,080 --> 01:00:25,160
Speaker 1: starting to think more about Titans bills. A couple of

1064
01:00:25,240 --> 01:00:28,200
Speaker 1: things come to mind. I hadn't thought in a while

1065
01:00:28,360 --> 01:00:31,800
Speaker 1: about the infamous Josh Norman play, like I know he's

1066
01:00:31,840 --> 01:00:34,200
Speaker 1: moved on before I know he's moved on, But that

1067
01:00:34,320 --> 01:00:36,600
Speaker 1: one happened on the sideline the Titans chirped about that

1068
01:00:37,200 --> 01:00:39,800
Speaker 1: they Titans chirped last year. And then I don't know

1069
01:00:39,840 --> 01:00:42,120
Speaker 1: if you guys, Brownie, were you thinking about this last night?

1070
01:00:42,200 --> 01:00:45,960
Speaker 1: We're watching Colts Ravens and Darius Leonard picks up a

1071
01:00:46,040 --> 01:00:48,920
Speaker 1: fumble and laterals and they weren't sure if it was

1072
01:00:49,000 --> 01:00:51,400
Speaker 1: a forward or backward lateral, and they were measuring it

1073
01:00:51,480 --> 01:00:53,040
Speaker 1: and going to the replay, and I was thinking of

1074
01:00:53,120 --> 01:00:56,520
Speaker 1: white check all over again because you're getting the geometry

1075
01:00:56,600 --> 01:00:59,840
Speaker 1: out again, and there's Titans bills. It's all coming up. Yeah,

1076
01:01:00,040 --> 01:01:04,520
Speaker 1: that's right there. Yeah, Wow, you just threw the y

1077
01:01:04,680 --> 01:01:09,360
Speaker 1: checked out. That's like taboo, right well, I mean yeah,

1078
01:01:09,800 --> 01:01:13,000
Speaker 1: that is still that's still up for debate. Wade Phillips,

1079
01:01:13,040 --> 01:01:15,000
Speaker 1: the coach at the time, still calls at home run

1080
01:01:15,120 --> 01:01:18,880
Speaker 1: throw forward. Uh. There is a banner in a bar

1081
01:01:19,640 --> 01:01:22,920
Speaker 1: slash tavern that will remain nameless here in Buffalo. It

1082
01:01:23,160 --> 01:01:28,440
Speaker 1: is a blown up image of the lateral play with

1083
01:01:28,760 --> 01:01:31,920
Speaker 1: a red laser line printed on this thing. It's like

1084
01:01:32,080 --> 01:01:34,520
Speaker 1: six feet by five feet. It just hangs on the wall.

1085
01:01:34,560 --> 01:01:37,280
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's still there at this local establishment.

1086
01:01:37,600 --> 01:01:43,040
Speaker 1: And it says in all caps, red letters, not a lateral.

1087
01:01:43,480 --> 01:01:46,560
Speaker 1: So that is still a sore subject twenty one years later.

1088
01:01:46,960 --> 01:01:49,320
Speaker 1: But Uh, the one other thing I wanted to throw

1089
01:01:49,360 --> 01:01:51,680
Speaker 1: at you too. You talked about Derrick Henry deservedly. So.

1090
01:01:52,160 --> 01:01:53,960
Speaker 1: The guy's killing it right now, even though I think

1091
01:01:54,040 --> 01:01:56,320
Speaker 1: his offensive line isn't as good as it was last year.

1092
01:01:57,280 --> 01:02:01,120
Speaker 1: Nineteen carries fifty seven yards against the Bills. Last year

1093
01:02:01,680 --> 01:02:05,320
Speaker 1: um two touchdowns, but fifty seven yards on nineteen carries.

1094
01:02:05,560 --> 01:02:08,160
Speaker 1: I think the previous year when they won fourteen seven

1095
01:02:08,320 --> 01:02:12,400
Speaker 1: in Tennessee in twenty nineteen, Bills held him to like

1096
01:02:13,040 --> 01:02:15,760
Speaker 1: eighty five yards. I want to say they've done a

1097
01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:20,520
Speaker 1: pretty good job. They have star back who has already

1098
01:02:20,600 --> 01:02:23,440
Speaker 1: made a difference in this defensive front. I'm kind of

1099
01:02:23,560 --> 01:02:25,960
Speaker 1: leaning on Steve's side of the fence here. I think

1100
01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:29,200
Speaker 1: this is a behind the woodshed game for the Bills.

1101
01:02:29,280 --> 01:02:31,600
Speaker 1: I don't know why. I think maybe I'm maybe I'm

1102
01:02:31,600 --> 01:02:34,439
Speaker 1: puffing my chest. Mentally, I think the Bills are gonna

1103
01:02:34,440 --> 01:02:36,120
Speaker 1: be there. We'll see. They they still got to get

1104
01:02:36,160 --> 01:02:38,000
Speaker 1: it done. And the and the Tennessee Titans aren't going

1105
01:02:38,040 --> 01:02:39,680
Speaker 1: anywhere there. Oh they're not. They're a tough team. But

1106
01:02:39,760 --> 01:02:43,000
Speaker 1: I think mentally that's where you guys are intoxicated right

1107
01:02:43,040 --> 01:02:48,240
Speaker 1: now on the Bills. This might be a little harbea

1108
01:02:48,360 --> 01:02:50,160
Speaker 1: Kyle Brand to be the voice of reason. I might

1109
01:02:50,200 --> 01:02:52,720
Speaker 1: be I might be a little drunk on the kool Aid.

1110
01:02:52,880 --> 01:02:55,600
Speaker 1: I'm I'll admit to drink in the kool aid pretty heavily,

1111
01:02:55,680 --> 01:03:01,000
Speaker 1: but um mentally, I look for things for this team

1112
01:03:01,160 --> 01:03:02,880
Speaker 1: because this team's got a lot to fight against now.

1113
01:03:02,920 --> 01:03:05,680
Speaker 1: But everything this team now is looking at going forward

1114
01:03:05,680 --> 01:03:09,000
Speaker 1: after this Chiefs win is internal. They got to find

1115
01:03:09,040 --> 01:03:11,360
Speaker 1: a way to continue this good play for another three

1116
01:03:11,520 --> 01:03:14,280
Speaker 1: months before they actually get to another game than Matt.

1117
01:03:14,320 --> 01:03:16,000
Speaker 1: You know, they got to get to the playoffs. Now.

1118
01:03:16,440 --> 01:03:19,760
Speaker 1: They've got to stay healthy, They've got to stay motivated

1119
01:03:19,760 --> 01:03:22,320
Speaker 1: against teams that are coming in, like they gotta play Jacksonville.

1120
01:03:22,400 --> 01:03:25,000
Speaker 1: Jacksonville maybe over when they play him. I mean, there's

1121
01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:26,720
Speaker 1: a and you got to find a way to dredge

1122
01:03:26,800 --> 01:03:28,880
Speaker 1: up some emotion for that. And I think those of

1123
01:03:28,960 --> 01:03:30,400
Speaker 1: the battles are going to fight for the rest of

1124
01:03:30,440 --> 01:03:33,040
Speaker 1: the season. I think so too this dude, and listen,

1125
01:03:33,280 --> 01:03:34,840
Speaker 1: if that's the battle that they're going to fight with,

1126
01:03:34,920 --> 01:03:38,840
Speaker 1: then they just won the heavyweight title of pure bs

1127
01:03:39,000 --> 01:03:40,840
Speaker 1: in the media this last week. I have to give

1128
01:03:40,880 --> 01:03:44,120
Speaker 1: them a gold medal. That the amount of BS that

1129
01:03:44,240 --> 01:03:47,400
Speaker 1: they were spewing about. Oh this game and the Arrowhead

1130
01:03:47,480 --> 01:03:49,680
Speaker 1: just another game and one week at a time, like

1131
01:03:50,040 --> 01:03:52,640
Speaker 1: Josh Allen was Daniel day Lewis about that stuff I'm

1132
01:03:52,680 --> 01:03:55,440
Speaker 1: talking about before, I'm talking about after. He doesn't. He

1133
01:03:55,600 --> 01:03:57,600
Speaker 1: just won an Arrowhead by eighteen points. And you know

1134
01:03:57,760 --> 01:04:00,760
Speaker 1: this guy's adrenaline search this. He goes crazy and he's

1135
01:04:00,800 --> 01:04:02,920
Speaker 1: talking to the reporter. Yeah, well, you know, it's a

1136
01:04:02,960 --> 01:04:05,000
Speaker 1: long season. I'm like, Josh, you are it may be

1137
01:04:05,080 --> 01:04:06,960
Speaker 1: a better actor than you are a quarterback, because we

1138
01:04:07,200 --> 01:04:09,920
Speaker 1: know what that meant for him. I listen. I got

1139
01:04:10,000 --> 01:04:11,840
Speaker 1: to talk to him, as we know last spring for

1140
01:04:11,920 --> 01:04:14,560
Speaker 1: an hour and I said, dude, you guys lost in

1141
01:04:14,600 --> 01:04:16,680
Speaker 1: the title game at Arrowhead. How much do you think

1142
01:04:16,680 --> 01:04:19,960
Speaker 1: about it? And he didn't even hesitates every day every day.

1143
01:04:20,320 --> 01:04:22,960
Speaker 1: The Chiefs are what the Patriots used to be. We

1144
01:04:23,160 --> 01:04:24,840
Speaker 1: have to go through them and take them out to

1145
01:04:24,840 --> 01:04:25,880
Speaker 1: get to where we need to go. I mean, it

1146
01:04:25,960 --> 01:04:28,920
Speaker 1: was the perfect answer. Is but then, man, does he

1147
01:04:29,000 --> 01:04:30,880
Speaker 1: have a way of locking it in? And I guess

1148
01:04:30,920 --> 01:04:35,400
Speaker 1: that's that McDermott factor of every SoundBite was just like

1149
01:04:35,560 --> 01:04:39,840
Speaker 1: a corpse. There was no emotion, no nothing, assassin like

1150
01:04:40,040 --> 01:04:42,920
Speaker 1: and I totally respect it, and yet I'm totally calling

1151
01:04:43,040 --> 01:04:45,360
Speaker 1: bs on it because we knew that one was special, right,

1152
01:04:45,720 --> 01:04:48,680
Speaker 1: Yeah that yeah, just McDermott is better and going full

1153
01:04:48,720 --> 01:04:52,360
Speaker 1: blown skeletor you know, um yeah, podium after the game.

1154
01:04:52,440 --> 01:04:55,760
Speaker 1: He is, he is like Robert Parish. But they're gonna

1155
01:04:55,760 --> 01:04:57,680
Speaker 1: need it. To Steve's point, like they're gonna need that

1156
01:04:58,080 --> 01:05:00,480
Speaker 1: that that tool throughout the year, because what do we

1157
01:05:00,520 --> 01:05:03,760
Speaker 1: got twelve games left and you've got ten, Like Jacksonville

1158
01:05:03,840 --> 01:05:06,000
Speaker 1: really scares you. I mean, they're good. They're very good

1159
01:05:06,040 --> 01:05:08,160
Speaker 1: players and very good act They're not even at Halloween.

1160
01:05:08,320 --> 01:05:10,000
Speaker 1: What do you think? Give me just give me a

1161
01:05:10,080 --> 01:05:12,439
Speaker 1: thumbnail about the AFC right now, because you got the charge.

1162
01:05:12,480 --> 01:05:14,160
Speaker 1: The Chargers have come and we thought they might be

1163
01:05:14,240 --> 01:05:17,000
Speaker 1: good this year, but they're better than that. They're very good.

1164
01:05:18,520 --> 01:05:21,080
Speaker 1: Tennessee's at the top of their division. The Bills are

1165
01:05:21,080 --> 01:05:25,040
Speaker 1: at the top of the East. Baltimore an impressive comeback

1166
01:05:25,080 --> 01:05:29,000
Speaker 1: win yesterday and Lamar really, I mean, we talked about

1167
01:05:29,120 --> 01:05:31,640
Speaker 1: Josh Allen haters for a long time. He was so polarizing.

1168
01:05:31,800 --> 01:05:35,760
Speaker 1: Lamar Man, you talked about putting a muzzle on some hate.

1169
01:05:35,960 --> 01:05:38,760
Speaker 1: Last night throw throwing for over four hundred yards and

1170
01:05:38,800 --> 01:05:41,840
Speaker 1: four touchdowns and come back win unbelievable In overtime. So

1171
01:05:42,600 --> 01:05:45,040
Speaker 1: this is the AFC has got some guys throwing the

1172
01:05:45,080 --> 01:05:50,960
Speaker 1: football now that with Mahomes, Josh Herbert Herbert, Joe Burrow,

1173
01:05:51,360 --> 01:05:56,280
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, h Trevor Lawrence when he takes another step forward,

1174
01:05:56,600 --> 01:06:01,640
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield. I mean, goodness, gracious, it's awesome. It is awesome.

1175
01:06:01,800 --> 01:06:04,240
Speaker 1: It is awesome. It's we wake up every single morning

1176
01:06:04,320 --> 01:06:06,760
Speaker 1: and we're like a cat chasing a laser pointer on

1177
01:06:06,840 --> 01:06:09,440
Speaker 1: the carpet. We don't know which a FC quarterback to

1178
01:06:09,600 --> 01:06:12,320
Speaker 1: it is the best. And let's bear in mind a

1179
01:06:12,400 --> 01:06:14,560
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, like their car looked like he

1180
01:06:14,680 --> 01:06:17,560
Speaker 1: was the MVP. You keep going and going, and you know,

1181
01:06:17,680 --> 01:06:20,919
Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater was three and oh so I don't look.

1182
01:06:21,200 --> 01:06:23,280
Speaker 1: Who knows if these guys will have to stay in power.

1183
01:06:23,400 --> 01:06:25,800
Speaker 1: But it's starting to feel like it did back in

1184
01:06:25,880 --> 01:06:28,880
Speaker 1: the eighties when it was all these great AFC quarterbacks

1185
01:06:28,960 --> 01:06:31,360
Speaker 1: every single weekday go against I mean, Steve, you were there,

1186
01:06:31,920 --> 01:06:33,440
Speaker 1: and it's I don't know who to throw in with.

1187
01:06:33,560 --> 01:06:36,880
Speaker 1: We had a conversation this morning, the stupidest, easiest conversation,

1188
01:06:36,960 --> 01:06:38,920
Speaker 1: and good morning football. Just pull up up our stool

1189
01:06:38,960 --> 01:06:41,960
Speaker 1: and just say, okay, who's the best quarterback in the league.

1190
01:06:42,040 --> 01:06:44,760
Speaker 1: Just who's the best? Take that anyway you want, who's

1191
01:06:44,840 --> 01:06:47,320
Speaker 1: playing the best? Who's the best? Ever? If you had

1192
01:06:47,360 --> 01:06:49,200
Speaker 1: to win one game, which would you want? And it

1193
01:06:49,320 --> 01:06:52,600
Speaker 1: was all these different answers, and it was, well, Brady,

1194
01:06:52,840 --> 01:06:54,520
Speaker 1: he's the greatest ever, but a whold lot of second.

1195
01:06:54,760 --> 01:06:57,160
Speaker 1: Schrager says, I think Josh Allen is the best quarterback

1196
01:06:57,200 --> 01:06:59,120
Speaker 1: in the league. And I said, it's Josh Shellen better

1197
01:06:59,200 --> 01:07:02,240
Speaker 1: than Rogers. I don't know, And then some Kyler Murray

1198
01:07:02,280 --> 01:07:05,160
Speaker 1: looks amazing, Like, we don't know what to do with ourselves.

1199
01:07:05,560 --> 01:07:08,720
Speaker 1: We can't. We're supposed to have five great quarterbacks and

1200
01:07:08,800 --> 01:07:11,440
Speaker 1: the rest of them were they're terrible or midlian. It's

1201
01:07:11,480 --> 01:07:14,040
Speaker 1: like we have twelve. We're not even you know how

1202
01:07:14,080 --> 01:07:16,760
Speaker 1: good Deck Prescott's been this year. He's been amazing, and

1203
01:07:17,160 --> 01:07:19,840
Speaker 1: he doesn't even find his way into the conversation. You're

1204
01:07:19,880 --> 01:07:22,160
Speaker 1: talking just the young AFC guys, and they're great. I

1205
01:07:22,200 --> 01:07:23,919
Speaker 1: don't know how we're gonna get through the playoffs. It's

1206
01:07:23,960 --> 01:07:26,520
Speaker 1: like gonna be the most stacked field we've had in years. Yeah,

1207
01:07:26,960 --> 01:07:30,160
Speaker 1: And meanwhile, at the bottom of the conference is three

1208
01:07:30,280 --> 01:07:33,320
Speaker 1: quarters of the AFC East which has quickly become like

1209
01:07:33,920 --> 01:07:37,720
Speaker 1: the Division of Reclamation projects aside from the Bills. And

1210
01:07:38,240 --> 01:07:40,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I'll take every opportunity to dump on the

1211
01:07:40,640 --> 01:07:44,800
Speaker 1: Dolphins every chance I get. But this their defensive philosophy,

1212
01:07:44,920 --> 01:07:48,360
Speaker 1: Kyle defies any and all logic because they say to themselves,

1213
01:07:48,560 --> 01:07:51,320
Speaker 1: we got Xavier Howard, we got Byron Jones. We're playing

1214
01:07:51,360 --> 01:07:54,120
Speaker 1: man to man defense the whole game. I don't care

1215
01:07:54,240 --> 01:07:56,560
Speaker 1: what quarterback we're going it. We're playing man to man.

1216
01:07:57,280 --> 01:08:00,400
Speaker 1: Memo to the Dolphins, you don't have a pass rush.

1217
01:08:00,800 --> 01:08:02,919
Speaker 1: You can't play man to man for a whole game.

1218
01:08:03,200 --> 01:08:05,480
Speaker 1: When you have to have guys cover for six and

1219
01:08:05,600 --> 01:08:10,400
Speaker 1: seven seconds, it is football suicide. And yet they continue

1220
01:08:10,400 --> 01:08:12,400
Speaker 1: to do what they gets Brady for three and a

1221
01:08:12,440 --> 01:08:15,600
Speaker 1: half quarters, and he torched them just like every other quarter.

1222
01:08:15,800 --> 01:08:18,320
Speaker 1: Somebody explained to me, what the hell is going on

1223
01:08:18,400 --> 01:08:21,000
Speaker 1: in Miami aside from missing on the quarterback in the

1224
01:08:21,080 --> 01:08:23,960
Speaker 1: first place. You know what it is, Brownie Like, it's

1225
01:08:24,000 --> 01:08:26,720
Speaker 1: a stubbornness, And I think it's almost a belichicky and

1226
01:08:26,760 --> 01:08:30,040
Speaker 1: stubbornness coming from Flores. Last year they won eleven games

1227
01:08:30,240 --> 01:08:32,800
Speaker 1: because they would always have a defensive touchdown. They would

1228
01:08:32,800 --> 01:08:34,639
Speaker 1: always have a scoop and score or a pick six,

1229
01:08:34,760 --> 01:08:37,439
Speaker 1: and they just kept lucking into these things. They would

1230
01:08:37,439 --> 01:08:40,400
Speaker 1: have these create a block punt return for a Touchdow'm like, no,

1231
01:08:40,560 --> 01:08:42,719
Speaker 1: we have a thing that works here, and our defense

1232
01:08:42,880 --> 01:08:45,920
Speaker 1: is opportunistic a lot of times. Opportunistic is just a

1233
01:08:46,000 --> 01:08:48,559
Speaker 1: word for a crappy defense that gets lucky. They were

1234
01:08:48,720 --> 01:08:51,400
Speaker 1: very opportunistic last year, and this year they are not.

1235
01:08:51,800 --> 01:08:54,240
Speaker 1: They don't look like they make any sort of impact

1236
01:08:54,280 --> 01:08:57,720
Speaker 1: at all nationally. The Jets obviously are probably going to

1237
01:08:57,760 --> 01:08:59,800
Speaker 1: be maybe a two or three win team, and then

1238
01:08:59,840 --> 01:09:02,080
Speaker 1: I don't know. If I'm a Bills fan, I want

1239
01:09:02,120 --> 01:09:04,320
Speaker 1: the Patriots dead and out of it. I wanted them

1240
01:09:04,400 --> 01:09:06,920
Speaker 1: losing that game to the Texans. I'm not afraid of them,

1241
01:09:07,080 --> 01:09:09,880
Speaker 1: We've handled them. But if I want them mathematically out

1242
01:09:09,920 --> 01:09:12,040
Speaker 1: of the equation, and I still think that they're sort

1243
01:09:12,080 --> 01:09:14,639
Speaker 1: of lurking, there's a ton of two and three teams

1244
01:09:15,000 --> 01:09:18,160
Speaker 1: that sort of matter, I want those guys out of them. Yeah. Plus,

1245
01:09:18,200 --> 01:09:19,840
Speaker 1: because you know the Patriots are going to be better

1246
01:09:19,920 --> 01:09:22,559
Speaker 1: in November and December like they always want under Belichick. Yeah,

1247
01:09:22,560 --> 01:09:24,000
Speaker 1: I agree, I agree with you. I don't think the

1248
01:09:24,040 --> 01:09:26,080
Speaker 1: Patriots are going anywhere and I think the last three

1249
01:09:26,160 --> 01:09:29,080
Speaker 1: teams in the standings in the AFC Cincinnati, Denver, Las Vegas.

1250
01:09:29,160 --> 01:09:33,960
Speaker 1: If the playoffs started today, Cincinnati, Denver, Las Vegas. Vegas

1251
01:09:34,360 --> 01:09:37,519
Speaker 1: has a big arrow pointing down right now because of

1252
01:09:37,560 --> 01:09:41,599
Speaker 1: the Gruden situation. The Coyote team Cleveland is right there

1253
01:09:41,600 --> 01:09:44,360
Speaker 1: there at number eight. New England is number nine, Pittsburgh

1254
01:09:44,400 --> 01:09:47,040
Speaker 1: in Kansas City are ten and eleven. All of four

1255
01:09:47,080 --> 01:09:51,840
Speaker 1: of those teams think they're getting there. Cincinnati interesting to

1256
01:09:51,960 --> 01:09:54,479
Speaker 1: me three and two. I don't know how long it'll last,

1257
01:09:54,520 --> 01:09:57,240
Speaker 1: particularly in that division, but I think right now i'd

1258
01:09:57,240 --> 01:09:59,840
Speaker 1: take Cincinnati over Pittsburgh, which is where they're sitting in

1259
01:09:59,840 --> 01:10:02,400
Speaker 1: the standings. Oh yeah, it's gonna be interesting to see

1260
01:10:02,439 --> 01:10:05,040
Speaker 1: how good Cincinnati can get in one year, and how

1261
01:10:05,120 --> 01:10:07,519
Speaker 1: good Joe Burrow can be if if you get another

1262
01:10:07,600 --> 01:10:11,080
Speaker 1: guy like Joe. I mean, it's amazing to the quarterback

1263
01:10:11,200 --> 01:10:19,120
Speaker 1: situation is ye Carson Wentz one d and they're the

1264
01:10:19,200 --> 01:10:23,639
Speaker 1: fifteenth ranked team in the conference. You're right, You're right.

1265
01:10:23,960 --> 01:10:26,720
Speaker 1: I don't know. I look at Cincinnati like, um, they're

1266
01:10:26,760 --> 01:10:29,800
Speaker 1: one of these one of these cryptocurrencies, Like you're hearing

1267
01:10:29,840 --> 01:10:32,000
Speaker 1: about it and they're saying like it's gonna be huge

1268
01:10:32,040 --> 01:10:34,400
Speaker 1: and just wait and wait, and they're like, wow, it

1269
01:10:34,520 --> 01:10:36,719
Speaker 1: is kind of exciting and sexy and maybe I should

1270
01:10:36,760 --> 01:10:38,599
Speaker 1: invest in this. And the young people in my life

1271
01:10:38,640 --> 01:10:41,320
Speaker 1: tell me it's going everywhere. I don't know, we'll see.

1272
01:10:41,520 --> 01:10:43,640
Speaker 1: There's still a lot of risk involved and a lot

1273
01:10:43,680 --> 01:10:46,880
Speaker 1: of injury risks. Whereas I think the team in that division, look,

1274
01:10:46,920 --> 01:10:49,599
Speaker 1: Baltimore looked great last night. If I'm a Bills fan,

1275
01:10:49,840 --> 01:10:52,240
Speaker 1: I'm looking very closely at Cleveland some of the same

1276
01:10:52,360 --> 01:10:55,240
Speaker 1: things I mentioned. First of all, they have the thoroughbreads

1277
01:10:55,240 --> 01:10:57,719
Speaker 1: in the past, rush like they could get after Josh

1278
01:10:58,200 --> 01:11:00,320
Speaker 1: as we saw in Week one with the Steelers did it.

1279
01:11:00,640 --> 01:11:02,280
Speaker 1: And then they just like they have the best running

1280
01:11:02,280 --> 01:11:04,200
Speaker 1: game in the league. I think those guys are crazy.

1281
01:11:04,439 --> 01:11:07,679
Speaker 1: I don't think you can beat the Bills with Odell

1282
01:11:07,720 --> 01:11:10,880
Speaker 1: Beckham and Baker Mayfield, but Man Chubb and Hunt and

1283
01:11:11,280 --> 01:11:13,640
Speaker 1: Clowney and Garrett Like, that's the kind of stuff that

1284
01:11:13,760 --> 01:11:15,559
Speaker 1: keeps me up at that. I think Cleveland is still

1285
01:11:15,680 --> 01:11:18,320
Speaker 1: very scary, even though they lost this weekend to LA. Yeah,

1286
01:11:18,479 --> 01:11:21,840
Speaker 1: Cleveland was the first team in NFL history to score

1287
01:11:21,880 --> 01:11:25,200
Speaker 1: over forty points, have no turnovers and loose it was

1288
01:11:25,320 --> 01:11:28,200
Speaker 1: four oh one and oh and now it is four

1289
01:11:28,280 --> 01:11:30,800
Speaker 1: oh one and one. That was a very Brownsian thing

1290
01:11:30,920 --> 01:11:34,040
Speaker 1: to do last week. Yea by Cleveland, no question about it.

1291
01:11:34,520 --> 01:11:37,800
Speaker 1: Where do you come down on because everybody's talking about

1292
01:11:37,880 --> 01:11:41,640
Speaker 1: Josh and the offense, but the Bill's defense is like

1293
01:11:42,080 --> 01:11:45,240
Speaker 1: number one in like seven categories. I know they've played

1294
01:11:45,240 --> 01:11:48,800
Speaker 1: against three backup quarterbacks. I get it, but they just

1295
01:11:48,880 --> 01:11:52,040
Speaker 1: played against Mahomes. He scored the third few his points

1296
01:11:52,120 --> 01:11:54,280
Speaker 1: in his fifty one starts of his career. It's only

1297
01:11:54,360 --> 01:11:56,439
Speaker 1: the third time it was twenty points or less for KC.

1298
01:11:57,960 --> 01:12:01,920
Speaker 1: Is this defense going to get credit because it's not

1299
01:12:02,080 --> 01:12:06,799
Speaker 1: a sexy We got seventy five sacks defense in a season.

1300
01:12:07,240 --> 01:12:09,160
Speaker 1: You know, they take the ball away, they're good at that.

1301
01:12:09,920 --> 01:12:12,280
Speaker 1: I just don't know if they're gonna get there just too,

1302
01:12:12,280 --> 01:12:15,120
Speaker 1: because they're gonna get overshadowed by Josh in this passing game.

1303
01:12:16,040 --> 01:12:17,519
Speaker 1: No they are, and they're not gonna get there just

1304
01:12:17,600 --> 01:12:18,920
Speaker 1: d I'll break it to you right now, and that's

1305
01:12:18,960 --> 01:12:21,240
Speaker 1: not gonna happen. In fact, I already saw it unraveling.

1306
01:12:21,280 --> 01:12:24,240
Speaker 1: After the Chiefs game. Mahomes has three Toner overs, including

1307
01:12:24,280 --> 01:12:27,760
Speaker 1: two interceptions, and it's well, you know one was off

1308
01:12:28,120 --> 01:12:30,840
Speaker 1: Tyreek's hands, Well, maybe Tyreek thought he was gonna get hit.

1309
01:12:31,040 --> 01:12:32,960
Speaker 1: Did that look like a Tyree play? And the other

1310
01:12:33,040 --> 01:12:35,439
Speaker 1: one was on a deflected pass a whole lot of second.

1311
01:12:35,760 --> 01:12:38,000
Speaker 1: The other one was on a rookie playing in his

1312
01:12:38,160 --> 01:12:40,439
Speaker 1: fifth game ever, who stared in the face of the

1313
01:12:40,600 --> 01:12:43,120
Speaker 1: number one rated player in the NFL, as voted by

1314
01:12:43,160 --> 01:12:46,479
Speaker 1: his peers, deflected the ball, had the wherewithal to catch

1315
01:12:46,560 --> 01:12:50,160
Speaker 1: it like that was an incredible play. Give Groot all

1316
01:12:50,240 --> 01:12:53,000
Speaker 1: the credit for this. This is If this was t J. Watt,

1317
01:12:53,000 --> 01:12:55,240
Speaker 1: everyone would be throwing it up in the rafters and saying,

1318
01:12:55,280 --> 01:12:57,439
Speaker 1: this is an NFL Hall of Fame play. Put him

1319
01:12:57,479 --> 01:13:01,280
Speaker 1: first ballot. That was an awesome play by a neophite

1320
01:13:01,360 --> 01:13:03,720
Speaker 1: player in the NFL against the guy who's supposed to

1321
01:13:03,800 --> 01:13:06,400
Speaker 1: run the whole league. So they should get their credit.

1322
01:13:06,680 --> 01:13:10,280
Speaker 1: I saw multiple I worked with multiple people who were saying, well,

1323
01:13:10,360 --> 01:13:14,080
Speaker 1: they weren't real interceptions from homes. Yes, they were shut up,

1324
01:13:14,640 --> 01:13:17,719
Speaker 1: that's your answer, though they won't until they start shutting

1325
01:13:17,760 --> 01:13:19,840
Speaker 1: out more people. I don't know when's the last time

1326
01:13:19,880 --> 01:13:22,000
Speaker 1: a team had three shutouts in an NFL season. I

1327
01:13:22,080 --> 01:13:23,840
Speaker 1: bet you have to go back a long way. They

1328
01:13:23,880 --> 01:13:26,559
Speaker 1: have two in five games. I think it's pretty good. Yeah,

1329
01:13:26,560 --> 01:13:28,599
Speaker 1: I think it's probably the team that I remember having

1330
01:13:28,640 --> 01:13:30,519
Speaker 1: so many shutouts was the two thousand Ravens, where the

1331
01:13:30,880 --> 01:13:33,120
Speaker 1: last two in the first four games. Yeah, I think

1332
01:13:33,160 --> 01:13:35,880
Speaker 1: it's a company. One years ago, I think they had

1333
01:13:36,120 --> 01:13:38,200
Speaker 1: five for the season. Maybe I'll go back and check.

1334
01:13:38,240 --> 01:13:40,120
Speaker 1: But yeah, you're right, it's not. It's hard to do.

1335
01:13:40,800 --> 01:13:43,479
Speaker 1: I mean, because you think you take it out of

1336
01:13:43,520 --> 01:13:46,800
Speaker 1: gear defensively as well, you started playing soft. You're often

1337
01:13:46,880 --> 01:13:49,400
Speaker 1: scores whatever, you get up by triple, by double digits,

1338
01:13:49,439 --> 01:13:52,160
Speaker 1: by three scores, and you don't care if they get

1339
01:13:52,200 --> 01:13:54,720
Speaker 1: a field goal. So shutting out a team is really

1340
01:13:54,800 --> 01:13:58,200
Speaker 1: hard to do. And yeah, and the way the Bill's

1341
01:13:58,240 --> 01:14:01,280
Speaker 1: team is playing well there plus eleven and takeaways, which

1342
01:14:01,360 --> 01:14:06,080
Speaker 1: is unbelievable. It's one hundred and plus point plus one

1343
01:14:06,120 --> 01:14:13,240
Speaker 1: away differential. It's we are, we are. Here's a drunk Kyle. Sorry,

1344
01:14:13,880 --> 01:14:15,720
Speaker 1: did you predict they're gonna try They're gonna shut out

1345
01:14:15,720 --> 01:14:19,200
Speaker 1: the Titans on Monday Night? But I'll say this their

1346
01:14:19,280 --> 01:14:25,479
Speaker 1: biggest their biggest problem now is sustaining it for another

1347
01:14:25,600 --> 01:14:28,519
Speaker 1: three months. It's a long season. It's longer than it's

1348
01:14:28,520 --> 01:14:33,320
Speaker 1: ever been. And to play this good, this early, speaks

1349
01:14:33,360 --> 01:14:35,800
Speaker 1: to me that man, you get to the end, it's like, wow,

1350
01:14:36,439 --> 01:14:38,960
Speaker 1: I don't know. Okay, all right, so give us the score, Kyle,

1351
01:14:39,040 --> 01:14:41,000
Speaker 1: before we let you go here, all right, So on

1352
01:14:41,080 --> 01:14:44,000
Speaker 1: the way, do the score with My last rhetorical question

1353
01:14:44,200 --> 01:14:47,559
Speaker 1: is do they have the are they at the mental

1354
01:14:47,640 --> 01:14:49,559
Speaker 1: makeup this team where one of these weeks they're gonna

1355
01:14:49,560 --> 01:14:52,280
Speaker 1: get caught and they're gonna, to your point, drink the

1356
01:14:52,360 --> 01:14:54,760
Speaker 1: kool aid and hubrists will kick in and say, oh

1357
01:14:54,840 --> 01:14:57,960
Speaker 1: where the bills? Everyone has this number one? I don't

1358
01:14:58,000 --> 01:15:00,519
Speaker 1: know yet. Well that's a McDermott thing, and we will

1359
01:15:00,560 --> 01:15:03,799
Speaker 1: find out. However, I'm gonna zag do your guys zigging.

1360
01:15:04,280 --> 01:15:06,360
Speaker 1: I think that they are going to beat the Tennessee

1361
01:15:06,520 --> 01:15:11,960
Speaker 1: Titans twenty one to twenty low scoring, a little bit sloppy,

1362
01:15:12,320 --> 01:15:14,960
Speaker 1: maybe overconfident, and they will have a key field goal

1363
01:15:15,000 --> 01:15:16,400
Speaker 1: at the end of the game. But twenty one to

1364
01:15:16,560 --> 01:15:20,280
Speaker 1: twenty the Titans play them very tough. Tyler Bassmatic with

1365
01:15:20,400 --> 01:15:22,960
Speaker 1: the win, I'm going to make a prediction of my own,

1366
01:15:23,280 --> 01:15:25,960
Speaker 1: Kyle Brandt for your ten questions, you threw out the

1367
01:15:26,040 --> 01:15:29,479
Speaker 1: billionaire choices Yeah, what do you got? I don't know.

1368
01:15:29,600 --> 01:15:33,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try to read into the kind of entertainer

1369
01:15:33,240 --> 01:15:35,280
Speaker 1: you try to be, and I think you're gonna go

1370
01:15:35,520 --> 01:15:38,160
Speaker 1: off the rails. I'm going with Balmer here because he's

1371
01:15:38,160 --> 01:15:40,639
Speaker 1: a wild man. That's my pick. We'll see if I'm

1372
01:15:40,640 --> 01:15:44,040
Speaker 1: writer that brownie. The question was tomorrow on the ten

1373
01:15:44,160 --> 01:15:48,800
Speaker 1: Questions podcast on Spotify. I have a billionaire, outspoken billionaire owner.

1374
01:15:49,400 --> 01:15:52,519
Speaker 1: Is it Mark Cuban, the owner of the Mavericks, Jerry Jones,

1375
01:15:52,560 --> 01:15:55,160
Speaker 1: the owner of the Cowboys, or your selection Steve Baumber,

1376
01:15:55,240 --> 01:15:57,560
Speaker 1: the owner of the La Clippers. Of that joins me

1377
01:15:57,640 --> 01:15:59,880
Speaker 1: for an hour tomorrow, what do you do you think?

1378
01:16:00,000 --> 01:16:04,000
Speaker 1: Who do you think stupid? I'm going with Jerry Jerry.

1379
01:16:04,160 --> 01:16:08,920
Speaker 1: I'll go with Jerry because hard knocks. I just think

1380
01:16:08,960 --> 01:16:13,600
Speaker 1: that Jerry's Jerry would be, you know, would acquiesce to

1381
01:16:13,680 --> 01:16:15,760
Speaker 1: a thing like that that's his that's in his wheelhouse.

1382
01:16:16,040 --> 01:16:18,799
Speaker 1: I think he's more like Now, Cuban is obvious. Cuban

1383
01:16:18,920 --> 01:16:22,679
Speaker 1: is a guy who That's why that's Cuban is Cuban

1384
01:16:22,760 --> 01:16:25,479
Speaker 1: seems the easy answer. Yeah, that's why I went Balmer.

1385
01:16:25,520 --> 01:16:28,160
Speaker 1: I kind of went with the outlier. I went with

1386
01:16:28,240 --> 01:16:30,800
Speaker 1: the outlier because he's excitable, he's a little nutty. Yeah,

1387
01:16:30,840 --> 01:16:32,760
Speaker 1: all three of them. I think anyone Kyle could have

1388
01:16:32,800 --> 01:16:34,960
Speaker 1: a blast with one of those three or any all

1389
01:16:35,000 --> 01:16:37,040
Speaker 1: of them would be great interviews. I'm sure it'd be.

1390
01:16:37,160 --> 01:16:39,080
Speaker 1: That'd be a lot of fun. Congratulations you can't I'm

1391
01:16:39,080 --> 01:16:41,920
Speaker 1: gonna look forward to it. Thank you guys always, Kyle,

1392
01:16:41,960 --> 01:16:44,519
Speaker 1: We'll catch up with you next week. That's Kyle Brandt

1393
01:16:44,520 --> 01:16:46,759
Speaker 1: from a Good Morning Football joining us here on Tuesday,

1394
01:16:46,800 --> 01:16:49,840
Speaker 1: as he always does. And uh, I do look forward

1395
01:16:49,880 --> 01:16:52,120
Speaker 1: to that. And I'm telling you right now, if it's Balmer,

1396
01:16:53,439 --> 01:16:55,719
Speaker 1: Kyle could turn that guy in any number of directions

1397
01:16:55,760 --> 01:16:57,840
Speaker 1: and he would go bananas. Have you ever seen that guy,

1398
01:16:57,920 --> 01:16:59,880
Speaker 1: Steve Balmer, the owner of the Clippers. I don't know.

1399
01:17:00,000 --> 01:17:02,800
Speaker 1: He's a little wacky. He is a little wacky. So

1400
01:17:03,040 --> 01:17:07,439
Speaker 1: he signs Paul George and Kawhi Leonard in free agency

1401
01:17:08,120 --> 01:17:10,519
Speaker 1: and he's there at the press conference to introduce them,

1402
01:17:11,360 --> 01:17:14,280
Speaker 1: and he's so excited he lets out one of those

1403
01:17:14,920 --> 01:17:19,960
Speaker 1: who kind of things at the press conference. I was like, okay, guys,

1404
01:17:21,160 --> 01:17:24,080

1405
01:17:24,240 --> 01:17:27,400
Speaker 1: this morning or something he was I mean, he's he's

1406
01:17:27,439 --> 01:17:30,040
Speaker 1: out there, dude. He is like a very animated like

1407
01:17:30,160 --> 01:17:32,840
Speaker 1: you think Cubans animated. At the Dallas Mavericks games on

1408
01:17:32,880 --> 01:17:35,599
Speaker 1: the sidelines, you know, in his courtside seats. This guy's

1409
01:17:35,640 --> 01:17:39,000
Speaker 1: like that. Time's five and he's a big dude too,

1410
01:17:39,240 --> 01:17:42,360
Speaker 1: Like big dude, he's like six six, I think, big fellow. Yeah,

1411
01:17:43,760 --> 01:17:45,640
Speaker 1: and all of them are made of money. So there

1412
01:17:45,680 --> 01:17:48,040
Speaker 1: it is. We have to take a break here. We're

1413

01:19:22,760 --> 01:19:26,880
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Clyde Edwards Hilaire No Surprise was placed

1440
01:19:26,960 --> 01:19:29,280
Speaker 1: on injured reserve, so he's going to miss at least

1441
01:19:29,320 --> 01:19:32,680
Speaker 1: the next three games. With that spring, mcl suffered in

1442
01:19:32,760 --> 01:19:35,840
Speaker 1: the Sunday night game against the Bills. Wanted to get

1443
01:19:35,920 --> 01:19:38,439
Speaker 1: to the tweet sheet as we have yet to do

Speaker 1: five games for the Bills thus far this season. Eric

1447
01:19:48,400 --> 01:19:49,920
Speaker 1: on the tweet sheet, which is brought to you by

1448
01:19:50,000 --> 01:19:52,760
Speaker 1: Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment moving provider of the

1449
01:19:52,800 --> 01:19:56,920
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills, says the defensive line, the consistent play of

1450
01:19:57,000 --> 01:19:59,640
Speaker 1: rookies Rousseau and more recently bash him have made it

1451
01:19:59,720 --> 01:20:01,760
Speaker 1: easy to switch in and out players on the line.

1452
01:20:01,920 --> 01:20:05,840
Speaker 1: Guys are staying fresh, and Oliver Star and Zimmer have

1453
01:20:06,000 --> 01:20:08,920
Speaker 1: been more than solid. Steve, let me ask you this

1454
01:20:09,000 --> 01:20:13,320
Speaker 1: about the defensive line. Okay, inactives this past week, Vernon

1455
01:20:13,400 --> 01:20:17,040
Speaker 1: Butler and Harrison Phillips healthy and actives. They dressed nine,

1456
01:20:17,400 --> 01:20:24,040
Speaker 1: rotated him pretty heavily. Do they change their contingent this

1457
01:20:24,200 --> 01:20:28,000
Speaker 1: week against a Derek Henry led offense and is obviously

1458
01:20:28,040 --> 01:20:30,360
Speaker 1: going to run between the tackles, presumably a good deal.

1459
01:20:30,880 --> 01:20:32,679
Speaker 1: Do they put a little more beef in the lineup

1460
01:20:32,720 --> 01:20:35,639
Speaker 1: this week? I might I might be surprised if both

1461
01:20:36,560 --> 01:20:41,320
Speaker 1: Butler and Harrison Phillips are They probably have one of

1462
01:20:41,320 --> 01:20:43,120
Speaker 1: those guys active right for a little more beef in

1463
01:20:43,160 --> 01:20:45,759
Speaker 1: the middle. Need some bigger bodies in there. Vernon Butler

1464
01:20:45,880 --> 01:20:49,519
Speaker 1: might be the first guy. Um because Obada was the

1465
01:20:49,600 --> 01:20:52,360
Speaker 1: fourth defensive tackle in the game on Sunday night. It

1466
01:20:52,479 --> 01:20:54,960
Speaker 1: all depends we're trying to use his length, right, And

1467
01:20:55,080 --> 01:21:00,519
Speaker 1: I get that, and yeah, I think that, Yes, I

1468
01:21:00,760 --> 01:21:02,439
Speaker 1: think there'll be a change up front because of the

1469
01:21:02,520 --> 01:21:05,880
Speaker 1: way they'll match up with these guys offensively. I don't

1470
01:21:05,920 --> 01:21:09,120
Speaker 1: know what they'll do a defensive end, but I would

1471
01:21:09,160 --> 01:21:12,280
Speaker 1: imagine one of those guys will be switched out for

1472
01:21:12,280 --> 01:21:14,240
Speaker 1: a bigger body. I kind of think they're gonna need

1473
01:21:14,280 --> 01:21:17,559
Speaker 1: some beef inside for sure. Cole says, we all thought

1474
01:21:17,680 --> 01:21:19,760
Speaker 1: Rousseau would be a project and wouldn't make much of

1475
01:21:19,800 --> 01:21:22,599
Speaker 1: an impact until the year two or three. He's flipped

1476
01:21:22,640 --> 01:21:25,439
Speaker 1: that narrative and been a big impact player through five weeks.

1477
01:21:25,880 --> 01:21:32,080
Speaker 1: His ceiling is scary good, that's true. I think Russeau

1478
01:21:32,160 --> 01:21:34,360
Speaker 1: has surprised been a really pleasant surprise. And I think

1479
01:21:34,439 --> 01:21:38,479
Speaker 1: even in the broadcast, Chris Collinsworth and now Michaels were

1480
01:21:38,520 --> 01:21:40,519
Speaker 1: talking about it and they had, you know, during their

1481
01:21:40,560 --> 01:21:44,680
Speaker 1: production meetings with Leslie Frasier, Brian Dave All, Sean McDermott.

1482
01:21:45,360 --> 01:21:49,560
Speaker 1: They both you know, made. You know, mentioned conversations that

1483
01:21:51,120 --> 01:21:55,120
Speaker 1: the coaching staff had about Rousseau, and while they were

1484
01:21:55,240 --> 01:21:56,600
Speaker 1: not just that he was gonna make the team, but

1485
01:21:56,720 --> 01:21:59,679
Speaker 1: you know, you can't set the guy down. You gotta

1486
01:21:59,720 --> 01:22:01,439
Speaker 1: have him on the field every chance you get. He

1487
01:22:01,560 --> 01:22:06,720
Speaker 1: has really played extremely well both through preseason and through

1488
01:22:06,760 --> 01:22:11,160
Speaker 1: the first month of the season, and you're right, you can't.

1489
01:22:11,360 --> 01:22:14,160
Speaker 1: I mean, this isn't the best football he's ever gonna play,

1490
01:22:14,320 --> 01:22:19,439
Speaker 1: I don't think, and he's playing extremely well. It's a

1491
01:22:19,479 --> 01:22:21,200
Speaker 1: lot of fun to think about, a lot of fun

1492
01:22:21,280 --> 01:22:23,080
Speaker 1: to think about. But I agree he has been a

1493
01:22:23,200 --> 01:22:26,640
Speaker 1: real pleasant surprise with his productivity this early in his

1494
01:22:27,080 --> 01:22:30,200
Speaker 1: crashing down five games in just crashing down on that

1495
01:22:30,400 --> 01:22:33,439
Speaker 1: run play and pursuing backside for a tackle for loss

1496
01:22:33,479 --> 01:22:35,479
Speaker 1: on Daryl Williams. That was a third down stop that

1497
01:22:35,560 --> 01:22:38,000
Speaker 1: got them off the field. I mean, the interception wasn't

1498
01:22:38,080 --> 01:22:40,479
Speaker 1: his only playing the game. The players on the team,

1499
01:22:40,560 --> 01:22:42,800
Speaker 1: you know, Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde after the game

1500
01:22:42,840 --> 01:22:45,519
Speaker 1: and the postgame press conference, the funny thing is they're

1501
01:22:45,640 --> 01:22:47,639
Speaker 1: they're messing with him, saying, why did he just go down?

1502
01:22:47,720 --> 01:22:50,120
Speaker 1: Why didn't he run? I mean, this is a former

1503
01:22:50,240 --> 01:22:52,759
Speaker 1: high school receiver Yeah, who was to say he couldn't

1504
01:22:52,760 --> 01:22:54,720
Speaker 1: have busted it to the sideline. Who's catching that guy

1505
01:22:54,800 --> 01:22:57,200
Speaker 1: with eight foot strides. There was also a play where

1506
01:22:57,240 --> 01:22:59,479
Speaker 1: he set the edge of the defense and made the

1507
01:22:59,560 --> 01:23:02,240
Speaker 1: tackle two yards inside the sideline for a one or

1508
01:23:02,280 --> 01:23:04,080
Speaker 1: two yard game on a on a sweep run play

1509
01:23:04,200 --> 01:23:06,040
Speaker 1: right to his side. He had the edge of the defense,

1510
01:23:06,840 --> 01:23:09,680
Speaker 1: held the edge and tackle the guy for a one

1511
01:23:09,760 --> 01:23:12,680
Speaker 1: yard game almost to the sideline at his defensive in

1512
01:23:12,800 --> 01:23:16,240
Speaker 1: spot and bash him. In the last two games, has flashed,

1513
01:23:16,680 --> 01:23:19,800
Speaker 1: He has flashed. He has made an impact inactive the

1514
01:23:19,880 --> 01:23:23,599
Speaker 1: first two games. Kind of coming on here the last

1515
01:23:23,640 --> 01:23:26,280
Speaker 1: three games another guy to consider in that rotation. I'm

1516
01:23:26,320 --> 01:23:28,880
Speaker 1: with you though, in this game it'll be interesting to see.

1517
01:23:28,960 --> 01:23:30,600
Speaker 1: I think they will change it up a little bit

1518
01:23:30,680 --> 01:23:33,240
Speaker 1: because they've got so many guys on the roster. They're

1519
01:23:33,240 --> 01:23:37,360
Speaker 1: playing d line, both defensive tackle and defensive They want

1520
01:23:37,400 --> 01:23:39,400
Speaker 1: to do that, and they had a ton of guys active.

1521
01:23:40,120 --> 01:23:44,760
Speaker 1: I think that'll continue. But those those two inactives this year,

1522
01:23:44,800 --> 01:23:47,920
Speaker 1: it was this week it was Butler and Phillips. They're

1523
01:23:47,960 --> 01:23:53,200
Speaker 1: both defensive tackles almost one hundred percent against Derrick Henry

1524
01:23:53,600 --> 01:23:55,639
Speaker 1: and the running tack and all that, I think maybe

1525
01:23:56,000 --> 01:23:59,120
Speaker 1: maybe those guys don't are on the field. I think

1526
01:23:59,200 --> 01:24:01,840
Speaker 1: both of them could be at least one. Yeah, at

1527
01:24:01,920 --> 01:24:05,400
Speaker 1: least one. I think, yeah, maybe both. Steve on the

1528
01:24:05,439 --> 01:24:08,800
Speaker 1: tweet sheet, says Tarn Johnson. Tarn has become a key

1529
01:24:08,880 --> 01:24:11,080
Speaker 1: cog in this Bill's defense. He has the ability to

1530
01:24:11,200 --> 01:24:14,719
Speaker 1: make flash plays and create turnovers. So my vote would

1531
01:24:14,720 --> 01:24:18,599
Speaker 1: be knocks on offense, Tarn Johnson on defense. Taron Johnson

1532
01:24:18,680 --> 01:24:20,920
Speaker 1: of the new three year contract extension, by the way,

1533
01:24:21,320 --> 01:24:28,280
Speaker 1: signed last Saturday. Now in the fold going forward, he

1534
01:24:28,520 --> 01:24:31,800
Speaker 1: was he was sharp on Sunday night. I mean he

1535
01:24:31,880 --> 01:24:34,760
Speaker 1: got matched up with Tyreek Hill sometimes in the slot there.

1536
01:24:35,400 --> 01:24:36,960
Speaker 1: He got matched up a few times on some of

1537
01:24:37,000 --> 01:24:40,120
Speaker 1: those other speed receivers kind of held him all in check.

1538
01:24:42,320 --> 01:24:44,120
Speaker 1: It was funny because again I go back to Mica

1539
01:24:44,200 --> 01:24:47,080
Speaker 1: Hudd and Jordan Poyter in the postgame press conference and

1540
01:24:49,120 --> 01:24:53,639
Speaker 1: they're being asked about Tarn Johnson. They're like, guy got

1541
01:24:53,720 --> 01:24:57,200
Speaker 1: that bag, he got that bag bag of money. But

1542
01:24:57,400 --> 01:24:59,920
Speaker 1: Mike is like, now that he's got his financial secure,

1543
01:25:00,120 --> 01:25:02,960
Speaker 1: that guy's out there just playing free, right, just playing free.

1544
01:25:03,600 --> 01:25:06,600
Speaker 1: That's that's part of the art form. I think that

1545
01:25:06,960 --> 01:25:10,920
Speaker 1: Brandon Bean has been so good at UM. Certainly we've

1546
01:25:10,960 --> 01:25:13,240
Speaker 1: seen players be changed by the fact that they signed

1547
01:25:13,280 --> 01:25:18,360
Speaker 1: a big contract and not always positive UM their ability

1548
01:25:18,439 --> 01:25:20,320
Speaker 1: to know these guys and get him and find out

1549
01:25:20,360 --> 01:25:22,599
Speaker 1: which guys are gonna be helped by it and which

1550
01:25:22,640 --> 01:25:26,080
Speaker 1: guys might have a problem handling it, and Tarn Johnson

1551
01:25:26,160 --> 01:25:28,200
Speaker 1: seems to be one of those guys that's motivated by it.

1552
01:25:28,280 --> 01:25:30,559
Speaker 1: I remember one of the great interviews I ever saw

1553
01:25:30,680 --> 01:25:33,280
Speaker 1: from Peyton Manning. He signed at the time, as in

1554
01:25:33,360 --> 01:25:38,320
Speaker 1: norma a fifty million dollar deal, right, and the interviewer

1555
01:25:38,439 --> 01:25:39,880
Speaker 1: is like, well, what are you gonna do with that?

1556
01:25:40,040 --> 01:25:41,640
Speaker 1: He goes, He goes, I'm gonna go out and earn it.

1557
01:25:42,640 --> 01:25:44,400
Speaker 1: You know that's and which is you know, that's the

1558
01:25:44,479 --> 01:25:47,120
Speaker 1: kind of mind frame. It makes it trouble. Yeah, awesome,

1559
01:25:47,200 --> 01:25:48,519
Speaker 1: you know that you got to do that. That's the

1560
01:25:48,600 --> 01:25:50,439
Speaker 1: mindset you gotta have. I'm gonna go out there and

1561
01:25:50,520 --> 01:25:52,519
Speaker 1: earn it. Most guys are gonna say, well, I'm gonna

1562
01:25:52,560 --> 01:25:54,240
Speaker 1: do this. I'm gonna do that. He I'm gonna earn

1563
01:25:54,280 --> 01:25:57,080
Speaker 1: it that and that's kind of what you know, Taron

1564
01:25:57,160 --> 01:25:59,200
Speaker 1: Johnson happened to him. You want to go out there

1565
01:25:59,200 --> 01:26:01,320
Speaker 1: and justify, and that's a lot of fun for a

1566
01:26:01,360 --> 01:26:03,080
Speaker 1: fan base to see guys that are that have their

1567
01:26:03,120 --> 01:26:06,080
Speaker 1: head on straight like that. I will just tell you

1568
01:26:06,200 --> 01:26:07,800
Speaker 1: since we don't have enough time to read them all.

1569
01:26:08,320 --> 01:26:11,360
Speaker 1: The next three comments on the tweet sheet from Alex

1570
01:26:11,600 --> 01:26:16,559
Speaker 1: Vito and Jack All say Dawson Knox and I don't

1571
01:26:16,600 --> 01:26:19,960
Speaker 1: think there's any question that his emergence has been crucial

1572
01:26:20,720 --> 01:26:24,280
Speaker 1: to this offense sustaining its level of points scoring ability.

1573
01:26:24,520 --> 01:26:27,040
Speaker 1: People want to focus on Stefon Diggs and Cole Beasley

1574
01:26:27,080 --> 01:26:30,559
Speaker 1: and hold them down. Emmanuel Sanders and Dawson Knox are

1575
01:26:30,600 --> 01:26:33,080
Speaker 1: gonna kill you. And if you haven't been convinced yet,

1576
01:26:33,120 --> 01:26:35,280
Speaker 1: I don't know what else you need. After nine touchdowns

1577
01:26:35,320 --> 01:26:37,040
Speaker 1: between the two of them in the last four weeks,

1578
01:26:37,520 --> 01:26:40,840
Speaker 1: that speaks volumes, and it's gonna vacillate. It's gonna swing

1579
01:26:40,920 --> 01:26:43,000
Speaker 1: back the other way now right now, they're gonna account

1580
01:26:43,040 --> 01:26:45,680
Speaker 1: for Sanders, try to shut down Knox, and then all

1581
01:26:45,680 --> 01:26:47,559
Speaker 1: of a sudden, Diggs and Beasley are gonna go off.

1582
01:26:47,760 --> 01:26:49,680
Speaker 1: It's gonna happen. I can't cover them all. And I

1583
01:26:49,760 --> 01:26:52,439
Speaker 1: think the atmosphere is such too in a good way

1584
01:26:52,520 --> 01:26:55,559
Speaker 1: that it's not like the Bills don't have anybody. They're

1585
01:26:55,560 --> 01:26:57,160
Speaker 1: not forcing the ball like some teams. He gott to

1586
01:26:57,200 --> 01:27:00,880
Speaker 1: force the ball to DK Metcalf. He's gotta because the

1587
01:27:00,960 --> 01:27:03,240
Speaker 1: other guys can't hold there into the bargain up as well.

1588
01:27:03,920 --> 01:27:05,560
Speaker 1: The Bills spread it around, and I think it's you

1589
01:27:05,640 --> 01:27:07,680
Speaker 1: know there their fourm one as a result, and they're

1590
01:27:07,680 --> 01:27:10,120
Speaker 1: scoring thirty five points over at least thirty five points

1591
01:27:10,120 --> 01:27:12,040
Speaker 1: in the last four games, and it's it's a good

1592
01:27:12,040 --> 01:27:14,200
Speaker 1: spot to be in. Break time for us. Here, Steve

1593
01:27:14,280 --> 01:27:16,000
Speaker 1: and I will close it up next here on One

1594
01:27:16,040 --> 01:27:18,599
Speaker 1: Bill's Live presented by Kalida Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio.

1595
01:27:29,600 --> 01:27:33,200
Speaker 1: In his touchdown against the Chiefs, Dawson Knox became the

1596
01:27:33,280 --> 01:27:35,479
Speaker 1: first Bills tight end to have four straight games with

1597
01:27:35,600 --> 01:27:40,680
Speaker 1: a receiving touchdown, first player of any Bill to have

1598
01:27:40,840 --> 01:27:43,519
Speaker 1: a four game streak since Sammy Watkins in twenty fifteen.

1599
01:27:43,600 --> 01:27:45,760
Speaker 1: Knocks also at one hundred and seventeen receiving yards in

1600
01:27:45,800 --> 01:27:47,920
Speaker 1: the game, which was the most yards for a Bills

1601
01:27:48,000 --> 01:27:51,799
Speaker 1: tight end since Paul Costa had one hundred and sixty

1602
01:27:51,880 --> 01:27:55,800
Speaker 1: three against Oakland in nineteen sixty seven. That's brought to

1603
01:27:55,840 --> 01:27:58,759
Speaker 1: you by Reid's Gen's the official jeweler or the Buffalo

1604
01:27:58,840 --> 01:28:03,560
Speaker 1: Bills as that is reads milestones of the week. I

1605
01:28:03,720 --> 01:28:06,639
Speaker 1: think plenty to choose from. We've had flashes from Dawson

1606
01:28:06,720 --> 01:28:11,519
Speaker 1: in the past, but now it's every week we've seen him.

1607
01:28:11,520 --> 01:28:13,479
Speaker 1: Do you know the catch in the end zone against

1608
01:28:13,560 --> 01:28:17,360
Speaker 1: I believe Washington, a couple like three catches against Kansas

1609
01:28:17,400 --> 01:28:21,800
Speaker 1: City that we're phenomenal, just great catches, the touchdown, of course,

1610
01:28:22,160 --> 01:28:24,160
Speaker 1: and the one on the sidelines that was, you know,

1611
01:28:25,520 --> 01:28:29,839
Speaker 1: just I think the consistency is the thing that really

1612
01:28:29,960 --> 01:28:31,920
Speaker 1: really gives you some hope that this is not just

1613
01:28:32,280 --> 01:28:34,120
Speaker 1: a couple of, you know, one week kind of thing.

1614
01:28:34,200 --> 01:28:37,240
Speaker 1: So I knew he was gonna have a good year.

1615
01:28:37,320 --> 01:28:38,880
Speaker 1: I knew if he can, if he can stay healthy

1616
01:28:38,920 --> 01:28:41,880
Speaker 1: and stay available, things are going to go well for him.

1617
01:28:41,920 --> 01:28:43,840
Speaker 1: And right now, Dawson Knox is playing as good as

1618
01:28:43,840 --> 01:28:48,800
Speaker 1: any tight end in the league. He is, and I'm

1619
01:28:48,880 --> 01:28:54,240
Speaker 1: really interested to see where the offense goes from here

1620
01:28:54,479 --> 01:28:57,439
Speaker 1: because how our defense is going to adjust with Knox

1621
01:28:57,520 --> 01:29:00,599
Speaker 1: tearing it up Sanders tearing it up. You can't ignore

1622
01:29:00,640 --> 01:29:02,720
Speaker 1: the nine touchdowns those two players have scored in the

1623
01:29:02,800 --> 01:29:06,280
Speaker 1: last four weeks. They're they're gonna have to remain nimble

1624
01:29:06,360 --> 01:29:08,639
Speaker 1: to be ready to adjust to what defenses are seeing.

1625
01:29:08,720 --> 01:29:11,360
Speaker 1: Gotta be ready to pivot for sure. All right, all right,

1626
01:29:11,439 --> 01:29:13,479
Speaker 1: we're done for today, but we'll be all right back

1627
01:29:13,520 --> 01:29:16,280
Speaker 1: here tomorrow for a midweek look as we begin to

1628
01:29:17,240 --> 01:29:20,200
Speaker 1: take a closer dive into what the Titans are doing.

1629
01:29:20,520 --> 01:29:22,519
Speaker 1: We'll get to that tomorrow here on One Bills Live.

1630
01:29:22,560 --> 01:29:23,040
Speaker 1: We'll see that
