00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:10,560
Speaker 1: At a Steve Tasker who has been all over the fields.

2
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:12,240
Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

Speaker 1: player for you. Steve. Literally Steve a blimp. We're not

00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 1: him about the resurgent Bill's defensive line. You've certainly been

14
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: a part of that. Are you were? You all wrapped

15
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: up in the nostellar la of the Ben Roethlisberger years

16
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 1: last night Steve on Monday Night Football A little bit, Yeah,

17
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: I did. I did his first game as a starter,

18
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: No kidding. He had played a couple of times, you know,

19
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 1: he getting guys getting nicked up, and then they finally

20
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: got nicked up to the point where he was gonna

21
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: have to start, and I'm almost I'm a'm it was

22
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 1: a long time ago. I'm almost sure it was that

23
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: I did his first start. And yeah, it was typical

24
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 1: Ben back then. Yeah, he would stand back, drop back,

25
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 1: had no clue what he was looking at, wait till

26
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: the pressure got there, stiff arm and pushed the pressure

27
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:44,199
Speaker 1: off of him and roll out to the same side

28
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 1: as the pressure came from right or left and make

29
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: a play touchdown and you know, Steelers win. He the player,

30
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 1: I remember he came in and he moved out towards

31
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 1: the far side of the field to the to the

32
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: visitor's sideline and was over there and he was you know,

33
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: he he's literally he had he could throw it like

34
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: a ton, and he was. He had. He had an

35
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 1: NFL arm since he was sixteen. Right, he throws the

36
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: ball way down the field. The guy catches it well

37
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: right as he lets it go. This is back in

38
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: two thousand and four, so the player's safety wasn't the same.

39
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 1: He gets lit up right on the sidelines as he

40
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: lets it go. They light him up. I mean, he's bang.

41
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 1: He's laying there on the ground the catch it and

42
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 1: it's just on the two yard line and they almost

43
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 1: got you know, it's great play, you know, And he's

44
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: back here laying prone on the ground in front of

45
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 1: the visitors bench. His offensive lineman go over and helping him,

46
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 1: and he literally climbs to his feet, and they like,

47
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: they like it's like the Byron leftwitch back in Marshal

48
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: or wherever it was he went. You know, they were

49
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: like helping him up to the to the huddle. He

50
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: gets in the huddle and averything, okay, and I I

51
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: think I said it on there. I think he's gonna

52
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: hand this off because he's in no shape to throw it.

53
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: And course they call a bootleg. He rolls out to

54
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 1: his left and he's gonna they gotta pass called. He

55
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: gets about halfway through the rollout, touch the ball under

56
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 1: his arm and explodes into the all six five, you know,

57
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 1: two forties explodes into the ends. One carries two guys

58
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 1: in after getting laid out the play before, and rung up.

59
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 1: He bowls his way in for the touchdown on the

60
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,239
Speaker 1: next play. And I said, they're gonna be They're gonna

61
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:29,239
Speaker 1: be naming sandwiches atter this guy, which they did. They did,

62
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: and it was often running for him so it was

63
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: he I gotta you know, I covered him with CBS,

64
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: you know, quite a bit, particularly in the playoffs. So

65
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 1: when I was a sideline guy for Phil Simms and

66
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: Jim Nance, and yeah, it was. He had this thing

67
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 1: about a little bit of a like a high school

68
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: type mentality where he'd show up the day before the

69
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: game or the Friday before the games, and he'd be

70
00:03:55,240 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: like he'd be sick or he lost his voice, or

71
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 1: he's woke up and his ankle was sore, or he

72
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: stepped off the curve at the house and now he

73
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: can't hardly, he can barely walk. On Friday before the

74
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: Sunday game. Something would happen on a Friday or the

75
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: gate day or two before the game that made it

76
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: almost heroic that he could even show up and play.

77
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 1: He had that about him for a long time, and

78
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: he'd show up and overcome all these obstacles in order

79
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: to play and play well. I think he needed that

80
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: mentally once in a while. I saw his entire college

81
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: career from a pretty not up close every week, but

82
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: at arm's length, because I was doing the UB football

83
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: games on the radio at that time, and he was

84
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: during his Miami of Ohio, and you know, UB was

85
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,359
Speaker 1: in its infancy in Division one, so they really weren't

86
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: fair competition. But this guy was a man amongst boys.

87
00:04:55,400 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 1: Oh yeah. And two thousand and three Miami against UB

88
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 1: in Oxford, Ohio, which, if you've never been there, Steve

89
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: is in the middle of nowhere. You want to talk

90
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 1: about remote outposts for a college conference, The Mid American

91
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 1: Conference has it down, man, Yeah, they have it down.

92
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: So there we are in Oxford, Ohio, and we're not

93
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 1: anticipating a Buffalo victory. They lose fifty nine to three.

94
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: Do you be bulls d Yes. Roethlisberger goes twenty one

95
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: of thirty one for two sixty four and four touchdowns.

96
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: He also runs for two more tds, so six touchdowns.

97
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 1: It's a lot like you think about. It's a lot

98
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: like the career Josh had. Yeah, but he was very

99
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: highly publicized come his junior year and was you know,

100
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: I mean, it just it wasn't really fair for him.

101
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 1: Him playing quarterback in that conference was like shooting fish

102
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 1: in a barrel. And but he I mean, he had

103
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 1: a rocket arm for that cot and uh, you know,

104
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,799
Speaker 1: six six, two forty five. He was just a giant

105
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 1: in a conference like that, like a mid major conference.

106
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 1: He just stuck out, stuck out like a sore thumb, um,

107
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:25,479
Speaker 1: you know. And then the two thousand and four draft

108
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:29,039
Speaker 1: rolls around. The Bills had the thirteenth pick that year,

109
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,719
Speaker 1: and it was well known that the Steelers were very interested.

110
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: Tom Donahoe was the GM here and still had ties

111
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: to Pittsburgh where he might be able to beat the

112
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 1: Bushes a little bit and find out what their intentions were.

113
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: And he never traded up. There were some phone calls

114
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 1: made on Draft Day, I remember, but in the end

115
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: he ends up trading back into the bottom of round

116
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 1: one to take the fourth of the four top quarterbacks

117
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: that year because it was Rivers Manning. Roethlisberger lostman and

118
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 1: he traded up into the bottom around one to take

119
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: JP lost and just say oof yeah, double oof um. Yeah,

120
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 1: there was a lot that went into that um. But

121
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: you know, we see the three guys, the three guys

122
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: are in the whole of fame, well right, and Roethlisberger

123
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: wound up lasting the longest. Probably Philip Wood are going

124
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: to get in. Yeah, Roethlisberger's in and Manning is in

125
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: because probably going in because he played in New York

126
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: and he got two super Bowl and and not only that,

127
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 1: who he beat in the Super Bowl is going to

128
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: carry even extra cachet for the Super Bowl victory. Was

129
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: beating that, beating that eighteen nineteen to no Patriot team. Yeah,

130
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: I mean Phil Simms did not play in super Bowl

131
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: twenty five, he was injured, but was super Bowl MVP

132
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: in eighty six eighty seven when they beat the Broncos,

133
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 1: and was super Bowl MVP two. And he's not in

134
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: Phil Simms and he didn't play in the second super Bowl,

135
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: but part of a pretty successful era in Giants history. Yeah,

136
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 1: he's not a guy. And Phil played most of the

137
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 1: regular season to get the Giants in the super Bowl

138
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 1: because he got hurt in the Bills game in Week

139
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 1: fourteen of a sixteen week season. Is he Hall of Fame?

140
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 1: Whether he is in the Hall of very good Phil Simms,

141
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 1: it's interesting. He's kind of let me just say this, Yeah,

142
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: And he doesn't get really mentioned very much, right you

143
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 1: want to know why. I think it's because he wasn't

144
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 1: like super physically gifted. He was certainly good enough to

145
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 1: play in this league and be very productive in this league,

146
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:57,239
Speaker 1: but he wasn't like a John Elway, you know, athletic.

147
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 1: I think Phil is hurt by the fact he played

148
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 1: for Parcels, and Parcels gets the credit. Yeah. Um. And

149
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 1: also you know the second Super Bowl when he got

150
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 1: hurt after sending him to twelve and two or eleven

151
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 1: and two, but then watching it back then watching blows it.

152
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 1: Must it was more parselves. I think that hurt him. Um,

153
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:22,319
Speaker 1: I'm surprised that. And this is just me spouting off.

154
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 1: I'm you know, playing in New York is a boost

155
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 1: well because everybody gets more. People get it exposed to

156
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: your play on a regular basis. So I'm I'm a

157
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 1: little shocked that he doesn't get more. And I don't know.

158
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 1: I I gotta tell you, I don't know Phil's career stats.

159
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 1: I could not even begin to tell you what how

160
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 1: he ranks in there. Um. So you know, for a

161
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,599
Speaker 1: guy like Phil, I get it. But he here's a

162
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: guy who won a Super Bowl, um and got his

163
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 1: team largely in large major, got his team to another one.

164
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: And then you see a guy like Philip Rivers who

165
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,199
Speaker 1: had a longer career as all kinds of individual stats

166
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 1: and never made a single one. It's hard, It's apples

167
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,079
Speaker 1: and oranges. It's hard to it's hard to compare to

168
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:11,199
Speaker 1: two guys, you know. But Rivers right now, you would argue,

169
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 1: because Phil's only getting in by the Veterans Committee, if

170
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:18,679
Speaker 1: at all, right, Phillip's gonna have a look at it,

171
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers, maybe a first ballot, you think so, first ballot?

172
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,439
Speaker 1: Damn Dan Fouts got in. I don't know if he

173
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 1: was a first ballot, but think about it. I mean

174
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: that Philip Rivers. You put his numbers up against all

175
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 1: of these guys, and they're right, he's up in that area. Yeah, right,

176
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 1: I guess I don't know. That's a debate to have

177
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 1: at some point in time. Love to get one of

178
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame selectors on to discuss that a

179
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 1: little bit, weighing career numbers against the candidate that has

180
00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:00,120
Speaker 1: championships but maybe not quite the numbers. You know what

181
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 1: I mean, because there are candidates in both of those categories. Yeah,

182
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. It's like like Dan Fouts

183
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers. Yeah, ton of big time stat guys never

184
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 1: won anything, you know, and then you have other people

185
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: that won championships but don't have the numbers or maybe

186
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 1: the longevity, right, I mean, Terrell Davis played what seven years,

187
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: won two Super Bowls, a couple of two thousand yards seasons.

188
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,959
Speaker 1: He's in what he played seven years? Eight years. There've

189
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: been guys in the past have been that. Gail Sayers

190
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 1: played sixty four games, you know, sixty four that's three seasons.

191
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 1: It's it. I just it's an interesting discussion because you know,

192
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 1: I realize every case is different, but that's I don't know,

193
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,959
Speaker 1: eight year career, and he did some fantastic things in

194
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 1: eight years Terrell Davis, don't get me wrong, including a

195
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: couple of super Bowls. But I don't know. You've got

196
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,319
Speaker 1: a guy, guy who's in who's a finalist this year.

197
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,319
Speaker 1: Congratulations to him. As Tony Basselli he played six years

198
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 1: you know his career, say seven but the last year

199
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 1: he didn't play at all for Houst News on IR

200
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 1: played six years all for Jacksonville. You know, won an

201
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 1: AFC title, I believe with the Jaguars. No, no, no,

202
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 1: they didn't go to the Super Bowl. No, they got

203
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 1: beat in Denver, but a title games I believe. So. Um,

204
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,959
Speaker 1: But he's a you know, and that's an offensive lineman.

205
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 1: Forget about you know, quarterbacks, a guy like Mark Brunnell

206
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 1: who played extremely well while he was playing. He played

207
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 1: for a long time. Yeah played, Um yeah, you could

208
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 1: debate him a hundred different ways. I just find that

209
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 1: a very compelling conversation. It is short career championships versus

210
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 1: long career historic numbers. It's not about championships either. It's

211
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 1: about being a guy who is impossible to defend, you know, like, yeah,

212
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 1: you know, like a kind of a Bo Jackson kind

213
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 1: of career. You know, it comes in and plays a

214
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 1: half a second and a half of the season and

215
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 1: is like carries the entire team. M Yeah, it's well.

216
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 1: And that's another that's a whole other category. An absolute

217
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 1: freak of nature. We may have had his career cut,

218
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 1: you know, his career cut short by a career ending injury. Right,

219
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 1: doesn't have a big body of work, but he was

220
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: unbelievable when he played. Guy was like a human Jeet Code.

221
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 1: What do you do with that? Like, I don't know,

222
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 1: there's a lot of those interesting cases. I find I

223
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 1: always found it fun discussion. It's always fun, you know,

224
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,560
Speaker 1: because everybody, because we all have our perceptions about you know,

225
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 1: particularly guys. We didn't play with her against her, or

226
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 1: weren't on the team that we follow, because you always,

227
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 1: I think most reasonable fans kind of paint those guys

228
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 1: on the other team, like, for instance, Buffalo Bill sitting

229
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 1: here and looking at like guy like Barry Sanders, I mean,

230
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 1: you paint him. I think Bill's fans see him through

231
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 1: rose colored glass. I mean that guy could do no wrong.

232
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 1: He was like unstoppable, and yet you know, couldn't even

233
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 1: couldn't carry his team to a to a playoff Berth.

234
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 1: Same thing with a guy like Matt stafford Um and uh,

235
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 1: you know all those guys who have had great careers

236
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 1: who were you know, just couldn't get on a good

237
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 1: team or weren't on a good team, or weren't weren't

238
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 1: playing for a good organization. So the Steelers have to

239
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 1: go play the Ravens next week the Ravens Ravens still

240
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 1: have a chance to get in. They need a lot

241
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 1: of stuff to happen for that to go down. They

242
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 1: need to beat the Steelers. The Colts need to lose

243
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: to the Jaguars, which at least on the surface, seems unlikely.

244
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 1: And this is the best part, Steve. They need the

245
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 1: Chargers and Raiders not to tie. Yeah, okay, or I'm sorry?

246
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 1: Is this what? Yeah, the steel this is what the

247
00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 1: Steelers need Steelers Steelers. Um, yeah, they need the Monday

248
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 1: night game or Sunday night game. The last game of

249
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 1: the regular season can't be a tie from the Steelers game,

250
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 1: so they have to beat the Ravens. They need to

251
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 1: Colts to loose the jag Now here's though, and then

252
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 1: they can't have the Raiders in charge. Say that now,

253
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 1: but think about this now, if and this is what

254
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 1: I've heard and I think this is, or if the

255
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 1: Colts get beat by the Jaguars, mhm. If the Raiders

256
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 1: and Chargers then do tie, they both get in. They

257
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 1: both get in, and the Steelers are out. So if

258
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 1: the Colts lose, we may see the Chargers and Raiders

259
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 1: kneel down fifteen times apiece and both get in. Hey,

260
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 1: what do you say we call this a tie and

261
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 1: we'll see in the postseason fellas? Can we hands think

262
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 1: about it? That's that's crazy. That would be the ultimate

263
00:15:55,560 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: nightmare scenario for the NFL competition disappear. The two guys say,

264
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 1: let's play for the tie and think about it. Prime

265
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 1: time Sunday Night football, everybody watching, and al Michael's sitting there, gone, wow,

266
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 1: justin Herbert kneels down, Derek Carr kneels down. I can

267
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 1: see al michaels right now. Wow. We may as well

268
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 1: just play Heidi right now, because this one's gonna be

269
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: a tie. Think about it, And I think that's the scenario.

270
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 1: If the Colts get beat by the Jaguars, the nine

271
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 1: and seven Colts on the road in Jacksonville, and that

272
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 1: I think has to beat the Ravens, right, and that

273
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 1: game goes south and okay, and if the other thing happen,

274
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh bes rives, both the Chargers and the Raiders will

275
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 1: get in if they tie, and that's the last game

276
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 1: of the regular season. Otherwise, if any of that other

277
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 1: stuff doesn't happen, the winner of that game gets in anyway.

278
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 1: So it's a playoff game for both those teams. Right.

279
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 1: But if you tie, everybody's happy, everybody gets a ring,

280
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 1: and you don't you go play other people too. It's

281
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: not like you're playing each other the next week, right,

282
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 1: Can two It sounds like it's sitcom trailer, right, Can

283
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 1: two people more different division rivals come together to a

284
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 1: handshake agreement to better both of their futures together. Tune

285
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 1: in at eight pm on NBC. You're the Raid of

286
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:20,880
Speaker 1: the Exciting conclusion knelt Down for fourteen straight series. There's

287
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 1: two minutes left on the clock. During Carr fakes the

288
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 1: kneel down goes along, they win the game. Boom, touchdown,

289
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:31,680
Speaker 1: You're out, We're in. Wow. That would not go over well,

290
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 1: that would be it's a it's a tailor made trailer

291
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 1: for sitcom Central or drama Central in this case. You

292
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 1: know this too for the old odd couple intro can

293
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 1: two guys that are more different get along without driving

294
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 1: each other crazy? I could just see that kind of

295
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:55,360
Speaker 1: a trailer for Raiders Chargers, I mean two division rivals

296
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 1: I can't stand each other. The commissioner would undoubtedly call

297
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:05,399
Speaker 1: Mark Davis and Alex span Alex Spanos and say, listen,

298
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 1: you better make sure you guys keep their foot on

299
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 1: the gas. We can't we can't do that to our game.

300
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 1: And what if Mark Davis says he didn't do me

301
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:23,120
Speaker 1: any favors this year, so you can take a hike. Roger, Yeah, thanks, yeah, right,

302
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:27,439
Speaker 1: because he feels like his head coach got scapegoaded right

303
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 1: wrong or indifferent right right emails aside he felt like

304
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:37,360
Speaker 1: he was his head coach was targeted. Yeah, I don't

305
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 1: know if that's a phone call that would even be answered.

306
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 1: It's not gonna happen. I mean, that scenario probably won't unfold.

307
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 1: But man, if he did, probably wouldn't. But man and man,

308
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,119
Speaker 1: oh man, think about it. The first time you go

309
00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:00,399
Speaker 1: to a seventeen game schedule, this to keep this from happening,

310
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 1: it might be that, you know what, we need an

311
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:07,919
Speaker 1: eighteenth game. They're gonna I mean, it's gonna happen anyway.

312
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 1: I mean this, This seventeen game schedule is gonna be

313
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 1: gone in less than a handful of years. Now, it's

314
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 1: gonna be a couple of years. It will be an

315
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,399
Speaker 1: eighteen game schedule before you two preseason games, let's go.

316
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,119
Speaker 1: They're still gonna do the Tasker plan. They're gonna go.

317
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 1: They're gonna start it two weekends before Labor Day. Take

318
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: the whole league will take a buye over the Labor

319
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,440
Speaker 1: Day holiday, and then you'll they'll crank back in with

320
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:32,879
Speaker 1: a sixteen game schedule right through with buys and stuff.

321
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 1: That's what's gonna happen. Yeah, eighteen game regular season. It

322
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 1: will be interesting, that is for sure. We wanted to

323
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 1: get into a little bit of a playoff discussion. We're

324
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,199
Speaker 1: not trying to get ahead of ourselves here by any way,

325
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 1: shape or form, because the Bills do have the Jets

326
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:54,119
Speaker 1: on Sunday, but they've already clinched a playoff birth. We

327
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:57,160
Speaker 1: hope another victory on Sunday gets them the division title,

328
00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:01,879
Speaker 1: which it would so provided they take care of business.

329
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:06,880
Speaker 1: We're asking you for a preference come wild Card weekend.

330
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 1: Which team, in your estimation is the ideal wild card

331
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 1: matchup for the Bills and why eight oh three five

332
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 1: fifty one eight eight eight five fifty two, five fifty

333
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 1: or you can hit us up on the tweet sheet

334
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:25,159
Speaker 1: at one Bills Live. There are still a half dozen

335
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:32,400
Speaker 1: teams in the mix. They could play the Patriots, the Colts,

336
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 1: the Chargers, the Raiders, the Steelers, or the Ravens. So

337
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 1: they really can't play Cincinnati Kansas City at Tennessee because

338
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 1: we're assuming the Bills win this week, win the division,

339
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 1: so they're one of the top four seeds. Yeah, the

340
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 1: issue is if Tennessee, Kansas City or Cincinnati lose, the

341
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,679
Speaker 1: Bills win and then all those other teams like Indie,

342
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 1: La Vega, Pittsburgh, Baltimore and all those win, lose, win

343
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:06,159
Speaker 1: lose in some sort of combination, everything's going to get

344
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 1: jumbled up. Well, right, we should mention the two seed

345
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 1: is still out there. Right for the Bills. It's a

346
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:15,439
Speaker 1: low percentage. Looking at some of the people that project

347
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 1: these things out and do all the simulations, there's about

348
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,680
Speaker 1: an eleven percent chance. Right. That means kans Bills get

349
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 1: the two seed. Kansas City Cincinnaate both have to lose,

350
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: correct and the Bills wins one scenario. There are a

351
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 1: couple of others that I'm not going to get into

352
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,400
Speaker 1: because it involves it's head far more permutations and things

353
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 1: would have to unfold in a certain way. The easiest

354
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 1: way for the Bills to get to the two seed

355
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:40,160
Speaker 1: is Kansas City and Cincinnati lose, they win, they leap

356
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:44,160
Speaker 1: frog Cincinnati based on overall record one loss, and then

357
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: they lead out Kansas City by virtue of their head

358
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 1: to head victory back in week six. That's the easiest

359
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 1: way to the two seed for the Bills in terms

360
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:55,639
Speaker 1: of the scenarios that would have to unfold this coming weekend.

361
00:21:55,760 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 1: There are others, but they are far more unlikely. Kansas team,

362
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:03,119
Speaker 1: for those that are wondering, are at Denver, and Cincinnati

363
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:08,400
Speaker 1: is at Cleveland, who's been eliminated from playoff contention last night,

364
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 1: so too is Denver. Denver is also out of playoff content. Correct.

365
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 1: So you've got a Chiefs team playing a Denver team

366
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 1: that's out of the playoffs, and you have a Cincinnati

367
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 1: team playing. We talk about this at the beginning of

368
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,719
Speaker 1: the year. We had all these scenarios and how great

369
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 1: Cleveland's roster looked, and we thought, wow that you know,

370
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 1: this is their year. The quarterbacks killing him. Yeah, quarterback

371
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 1: is absolutely killing him. He's got nine interceptions in his

372
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 1: last seven games. He has been an absolute death knell

373
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 1: to that team. And you can say, and I don't know,

374
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 1: his off shoulder is injured. He's gonna have to have

375
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 1: it surgically repaired. And he had a heel problem that

376
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 1: he was playing through. I give him credit for playing

377
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 1: through the injuries, but certainly, but I'm telling you what, Yeah,

378
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 1: he was he was the killer for him. He was

379
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:55,880
Speaker 1: the killer. And that's and he may not even play

380
00:22:55,920 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 1: next week now that they're out of playoff contention. Yeah,

381
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 1: what could be looking at? Now? What do they do

382
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 1: this yet? This offseason? I don't know what are they

383
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 1: going to do. He doesn't seem like the answer to me.

384
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 1: I understand he wasn't healthy, But guy's been in this

385
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,880
Speaker 1: offense for two years now, and I think you could

386
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 1: argue he's gone backwards. Yeah, this year certainly was a

387
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:25,440
Speaker 1: rough year for him and injuries and all that. Um

388
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:30,400
Speaker 1: they lost O b j Um. I get that he

389
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 1: wasn't helping him anyway. But you got a really good

390
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:37,359
Speaker 1: offensive line. You've got a defense that should be better.

391
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:42,359
Speaker 1: I mean, they're a top ten defense, but there's seventeenth

392
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 1: and points allowed. I don't know top ten. Sim shocked

393
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 1: at how their season went. Well, they they've underachieved. Yes,

394
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 1: I mean, do you remember when they were all loaded

395
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 1: for Bear and people were like, this team's breaking the playoffs?

396
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,919
Speaker 1: Droute They went seven, seven and one I think, And

397
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 1: then the next year they go to the playoffs almost

398
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 1: beat Kansas City. Yes, and now this year and Stefanski

399
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 1: was coach of the Year, and now this year it's

400
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 1: like now they did have a hard schedule. You know,

401
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 1: their their own division is a bear. Yes, that number one.

402
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 1: Think about that division, now, that's number one. And then

403
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:22,480
Speaker 1: they had AFC West, NFC West. So you're playing the Chiefs,

404
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 1: You're playing the Rams, you know what I mean. You're

405
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 1: playing all these high flying teams, right, same division the

406
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 1: Bills played last year, by the way, Yeah, the Bills

407
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 1: play the North, the NFC North next year, and the

408
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:42,359
Speaker 1: and the AFC North North or is it the West?

409
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 1: You know so North? So North and North North and North.

410
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:49,919
Speaker 1: Yeah that's yeah. So there you go, which you know

411
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:53,199
Speaker 1: will be a mix of four very good teams in

412
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 1: the North and possibly one good team in the NFC North.

413
00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:02,120
Speaker 1: Provided Rogers is still there. That division, that division could

414
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 1: be that divisions that dumpster fire without Aaron Rodgers. Think

415
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 1: about it. That division is horrible without Aaron Rodgers. Horrible.

416
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:22,400
Speaker 1: It's bad. It's really bad. Does that I don't him?

417
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,639
Speaker 1: We get into all that stuff, well, you cannot ask.

418
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 1: It's a dumpster fire. The Bears, the Packers, the Bears,

419
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 1: not the pack the Bears, the Vikings and the Lions.

420
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, give me that division with two Hall of

421
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 1: Fame quarterbacks back to back, no wonder, no, come on,

422
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 1: it's amazing. The Bears won the division in twenty eighteen.

423
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 1: That that got that The fact that they played against

424
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 1: the Vikings, the Bears, and the Lions is exactly the

425
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:55,119
Speaker 1: only reason Mike McCarthy is head coach of the Dallas Cowboys.

426
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 1: If he would have been in any other division, Aaron

427
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 1: Rodgers would have had him fired after three years. Yeah,

428
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 1: his head coaching tenure would have been half as long

429
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 1: as it was a third. Now, speaking of horrible Steve,

430
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 1: we've got horrible Harry coming up now. Harrison Phillips, Buffalo

431
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 1: Bill's defensive tackle, is going to join us here next.

432
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:22,920
Speaker 1: Talk about the defensive resurgence upfront, as the pass pressure

433
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:26,359
Speaker 1: has seen a spike in production, as has the run

434
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:28,639
Speaker 1: stuffing ability, and he's been right in the middle of that.

435
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 1: We'll talk to Harrison next here on One Bills Live,

436
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:45,199
Speaker 1: presented by Kalota Health. It's Buffalo Bills Radio. All right,

437
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 1: welcome back to One Bills Live. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker

438
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 1: with you, and please to be joined now by the

439
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:53,439
Speaker 1: man who had an awful lot of crooked numbers in

440
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 1: the defensive stat column last week. Four tackles, a sack,

441
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 1: well else you have here three quarterback hits and a

442
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:04,680
Speaker 1: fumble recovery. It's Harrison Phillips joining us now fresh off

443
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 1: the field interviews brought to you by Austin Air, the

444
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:09,239
Speaker 1: official clean air provider of the Buffalo Bills. Harrison, how

445
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:11,719
Speaker 1: you're doing, man? Would you call that the best crooked

446
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:13,399
Speaker 1: number game of the season for you? You had a

447
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:15,440
Speaker 1: lot of digits there and a lot of those categories.

448
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:17,119
Speaker 1: I know it's not the stats, it's the win for you,

449
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:19,679
Speaker 1: but still at all nice one. You can kind of

450
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:23,879
Speaker 1: produce that way, right, Yeah, I mean I think, yeah,

451
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:25,680
Speaker 1: I guess if you're going to check as many boxes

452
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 1: as you can, that probably showed up in a few

453
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:31,719
Speaker 1: of the different stat columns there. I think I had

454
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,399
Speaker 1: some more productive games in terms of just tackles and

455
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 1: stuff like that in TFLs. But yeah, like you said,

456
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 1: most importantly, we got a great win, put ourselves in

457
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 1: a fantastic position to clinch the AFC East at home

458
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:47,359
Speaker 1: this week. But yeah, obviously it was a great feeling

459
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:49,120
Speaker 1: to show up in big time moments and make big

460
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 1: time plays. And you know, our defense played a great,

461
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 1: great football game, and so it's good to be playing

462
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 1: at this level at this point in the season. Again,

463
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:00,879
Speaker 1: with the season going the way it has with COVID

464
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 1: and all the guys in and out with injuries, You've

465
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 1: really got a chance, I think, to really get a

466
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 1: lot more snaps something. The rotation has been probably had

467
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:11,119
Speaker 1: a wrench thrown into it five different times during your

468
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:13,920
Speaker 1: regular season. How has this season and the number of

469
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 1: reps you've been getting of late help you, particularly since

470
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 1: you feel it you really look more like you did

471
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 1: two years ago before you had that last knee injury.

472
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:24,920
Speaker 1: Give us a little, you know, a big picture look

473
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 1: about how you feel physically after that surgery and how

474
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:32,199
Speaker 1: this season's going with the reps you're getting. Yeah, you know,

475
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 1: you know looked like twenty nineteen was going real well

476
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 1: had the injury. Twenty twenty came back in and I

477
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 1: finally put together a stretch of three or four solid

478
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 1: games towards the end of the year and into the playoffs.

479
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 1: And then coming back this year for twenty twenty one,

480
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 1: had a little knee thing again, But once I got

481
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 1: back into the rotation. You know, so much about this

482
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 1: league as opportunities and so just being able to be

483
00:28:56,760 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 1: out there with the guys and be out there crucial

484
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 1: times of the game, you know, been able to find

485
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 1: myself a little more productive, and it's been a very

486
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 1: fun season, to say the least. I know that, you know,

487
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 1: we haven't been able to talk to you guys face

488
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 1: to face for a long time now with this pandemic

489
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 1: dragon on. But I remember a conversation I had with

490
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 1: you pre pandemic just about calling the pass rush games

491
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 1: up front, and you were trying to learn at the

492
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,720
Speaker 1: elbow of Kyle Williams on how to do all of

493
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 1: that stuff, and you really had worked to have a

494
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 1: feel for it, recognize offensive fronts and formations, and call

495
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 1: the things accordingly. My question is, you know, since I

496
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 1: talked to you, you've got a new D line coach,

497
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 1: a new assistant D line coach. I know Coach Frasier

498
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 1: is still here, but have they entrusted you with those

499
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 1: responsibilities now? Like I mean, we know Kyle's you know,

500
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 1: retired a couple of years already. Are you kind of

501
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 1: the guy to call that stuff? Yeah? So we don't

502
00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:00,200
Speaker 1: still implement the exact system that Kyle had. I was

503
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 1: very intricating, it's kind of his thing. But Coach Washington

504
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 1: came in and the short answer is, yes, I'm still

505
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 1: like the caller when I'm out there if we don't

506
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 1: have something coming in from the sidelines that we you know,

507
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 1: pre plan. But even further than that, I think the

508
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 1: growth being able to help our young guys just every

509
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 1: downing distance, you know, football one on one and so

510
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 1: we get out there. You know, hey, Worth the logo

511
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 1: this is after a turnover. Hey, guys, be alert for

512
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 1: a max protection and they're gonna throw a shot here,

513
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 1: or we get them behind the sticks in a second

514
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 1: and long and I'm I'm letting Greg know or Boogie

515
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 1: or Ed letting like guys around me. Hey, let's be

516
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 1: alert for a screen or a draw or something to

517
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 1: get them back on track. Here, Ed, they like to

518
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 1: trap us down to the red zone, be alert for this,

519
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:45,959
Speaker 1: or Hey, I think we're gonna get hard count Cadence here.

520
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 1: We're backed up. They have nothing to lose. So more

521
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 1: so than just call them the pass rush games, more

522
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:54,240
Speaker 1: the other chess game that's going on during a football game.

523
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 1: I'm trying to help out the young guys as best

524
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 1: as I can. You know, on Sundays in the battlefield,

525
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 1: it's the first time in the NFL history they've had

526
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 1: a seventeen game regular season and you're throwing the buys.

527
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 1: You've got an eighteen week stretch here, it's the longest

528
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 1: season ever. How have you helped those young guys like Boogie,

529
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 1: like Rousseau and the young guys even like aj you know,

530
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 1: get him through and say listen, he'said grind. And a

531
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 1: lot of people have thought, well, why don't you know

532
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 1: the rookies are going to hit a rookie wall that

533
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 1: kind of thing. Is that conversation gone on in the

534
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 1: locker room with you and the young guys and I

535
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:29,959
Speaker 1: know it's it's been the longest season ever for just

536
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 1: about everybody in the regular season. How have those conversations

537
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 1: gone about how to handle the length of the season

538
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 1: as well as the time off and now headed into

539
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 1: the playoffs when everything's really important. Yeah, I think the

540
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 1: most important thing has been the staff that we have here.

541
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 1: So our sports science are strength staff, are athletic trainers.

542
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 1: They have a full team that they've put on to

543
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 1: figure out what is the best way that we can

544
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 1: be in our best shape come come game day. We've

545
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 1: had Monday night games, Thursday night games, Sunday games, one

546
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 1: o'clock's night games, the whole work and every week they

547
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 1: go in and figure out how can our team be

548
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 1: the most fresh, and so that's help with these the

549
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 1: quote unquote rookie wall that you guys see is us

550
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 1: trying to have a plan and a routine and then

551
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 1: also them taking care of us a little bit. So

552
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 1: as you guys have seen later in the season, now

553
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 1: our Wednesday practices aren't exactly what they used to be,

554
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 1: and that's because of everyone's dealing with something. Everyone's that

555
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:33,480
Speaker 1: part of the season. So I think that just collectively,

556
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 1: our our whole plan from their their standpoint has helped

557
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:38,240
Speaker 1: us in our rookies and then just the leaders in

558
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 1: each individual room, us taking time one on one with

559
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:43,160
Speaker 1: the rookies to see where they're at and what they

560
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 1: can the older guys can help them out with. Oh

561
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 1: of late, you and ED have been kind of a

562
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 1: fun combo to watch there on the interior. You know,

563
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 1: I know, you see all of these ratings and efficiencies

564
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 1: that are put out there with advanced metrics. I saw that,

565
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:00,040
Speaker 1: you know, they've got you eighth in the league and

566
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 1: stop win rate at like forty one percent. Edd's pretty

567
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:06,960
Speaker 1: high in pass rush win win rate for an interior defender.

568
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 1: How do you kind of work to build that kind

569
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 1: of chemistry, knowing that with the way they rotate you

570
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 1: guys in and out, you may not always be with

571
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 1: the same guy. I mean, I know it's you've been

572
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 1: lined up next to d a good deal the last

573
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 1: few weeks, and you want to build chemistry with everybody

574
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 1: on your roster. But at the same time, the changing

575
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 1: how much does that complicate it for you to get

576
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 1: in a rhythm working off you know your fellow interior player. Yeah,

577
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel fairly comfortable with a lot of

578
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 1: the guys I go out there with. Ed and I

579
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:47,960
Speaker 1: have built a really good chemistry here these last few weeks.

580
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 1: As our tandem happens to go out there a little

581
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 1: bit more often, but you know, me and Starr have

582
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 1: have gone out there together in some stop the run

583
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 1: situations and done a great job helping us get three

584
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 1: and outs. You know, the rotation is always kind of shifting,

585
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 1: but you know, Ed and I compliment each other really well.

586
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:07,720
Speaker 1: He trusts that if he's going to set the edge,

587
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:09,799
Speaker 1: I'll be there to help make you know, if it

588
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:12,239
Speaker 1: cuts back and vice versa. If I can set the

589
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 1: edge as a nose guard, he's gonna beat the backside

590
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:17,840
Speaker 1: tackle and we've proven that time and time again. And

591
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:21,880
Speaker 1: then you know, kind of what we mentioned earlier about

592
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:25,280
Speaker 1: letting people know around me the play before it's coming

593
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 1: type stuff. I'm able to let Ed or the rest

594
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 1: of the D line know if I'm if I think

595
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:31,800
Speaker 1: I'm getting the double team on a pass protection or

596
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:34,239
Speaker 1: if the protection is going to their side and they're

597
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:35,719
Speaker 1: gonna have the double team and we're gonna have the

598
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:39,160
Speaker 1: one on ones. So it's just been good and I'm

599
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:42,719
Speaker 1: super pumped for his success. Well, it's been two full

600
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:45,759
Speaker 1: months since you've seen the New York Jets, and you

601
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:47,880
Speaker 1: when you saw him last time, Zach Wilson was not

602
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 1: quarterback in form. And I know it's really early in

603
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 1: the week. What are your thoughts. I know Sean has

604
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:54,719
Speaker 1: probably put it in perspective, it's a chance to win

605
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:57,240
Speaker 1: the division if you go out and win this weekend.

606
00:34:57,680 --> 00:34:59,480
Speaker 1: What do you remember about the Jets and what's their

607
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 1: person that you kind of got to get ready for. Yeah, well,

608
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:06,279
Speaker 1: I think it's changed a little bit, uh these last

609
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:08,239
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. If you watch some of their last games.

610
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:10,359
Speaker 1: I just broke them down a little bit today. Um,

611
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:13,319
Speaker 1: I mean I watched the Tampa game too. They they're

612
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 1: throwing a lot of different things at you. It's not

613
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 1: a Manila. Here's what we're gonna do. UM A lot

614
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:22,400
Speaker 1: of trick plays, a lot of reverse double passed UM

615
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 1: Jets hawks. I mean, they're gonna move everything around and

616
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:30,160
Speaker 1: try to um mess with your eyes, mess with your assignments. Uh.

617
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:32,800
Speaker 1: And they had a lot of success doing that against Tampa.

618
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 1: It took him a while for them to adjust. So

619
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:38,720
Speaker 1: UM and Zach Wilson, you know, he also is UM,

620
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:41,560
Speaker 1: you know, very a very talented young player, and so

621
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 1: um our first chance to go against him. And I

622
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:46,880
Speaker 1: think their offense is is planned better than it was

623
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 1: two months ago when we saw them. So Um, you know,

624
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:52,359
Speaker 1: we're gonna We're not overlooking anybody, you know. I think

625
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:55,399
Speaker 1: that they're probably better than the record says. And like

626
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:57,479
Speaker 1: you said, there's a lot riding on the game because

627
00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:01,480
Speaker 1: we can win the division. How much I'm wondering what

628
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:05,239
Speaker 1: the difficulty level is when you face a quarterback one

629
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 1: week like a Matt Ryan, who you know, where he's

630
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 1: gonna be. He's gonna be in the pocket. I mean

631
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 1: he's not taken off and extending plays and then you

632
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 1: go to exact Wilson, who is quite literally the polar opposite,

633
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,640
Speaker 1: who loves to extend plays and has some feet to

634
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 1: do it. Do you just have to completely shift your

635
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 1: mindset in terms of who you're going against number one,

636
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:29,280
Speaker 1: but then number two, how long a play could actually last.

637
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:31,919
Speaker 1: We're not talking the usual four four and a half

638
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:34,520
Speaker 1: second play. You could have a seven second play out

639
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:37,959
Speaker 1: there with that guy. Yeah, I mean he definitely wants

640
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 1: to keep the ball live and you know, try to

641
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:43,440
Speaker 1: make plays. And that's you know, you'll see that a

642
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:46,360
Speaker 1: lot out of rookies. And yeah, I think our rotation,

643
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 1: like you already mentioned, and we rotate enough that those

644
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:50,759
Speaker 1: extra few seconds they do add up, especially when you're

645
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:53,880
Speaker 1: using rushing the passer and then our rush games. You know,

646
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 1: coordination is definitely gonna have to be a big point.

647
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:58,840
Speaker 1: So yes, when you when you face quarterbacks who are

648
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:01,000
Speaker 1: a little less more and is like to stand in

649
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 1: the pocket more, you might be able to get away

650
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:05,280
Speaker 1: with some running teams that they just don't take offen

651
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:08,360
Speaker 1: when we play mobile quarterbacks, all four of us or

652
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:10,880
Speaker 1: you know, for blitz and however it works out, we

653
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:13,319
Speaker 1: all need to have a coordinated rush so that all

654
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:16,719
Speaker 1: the pockets are you know, pockets collapse, but the edges

655
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 1: are set and there's no room for him to escape.

656
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 1: So that's something that we'll probably be working this week

657
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 1: in practice. And went back and look, the Jets actually

658
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:27,160
Speaker 1: one kind of bit by a big margin the time

659
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 1: of possession. Last time these two teams met. Of course,

660
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:32,359
Speaker 1: it was a different quarterback the Bill's offense. I mean,

661
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 1: you know, they went out and they hung forty five

662
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:36,879
Speaker 1: points on those guys. So it was one of those

663
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 1: games where the offense was scoring. Is that give you

664
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:42,040
Speaker 1: guys this team built? I guess is what I'm asking

665
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:44,440
Speaker 1: this team built to have your offense go out there

666
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:46,479
Speaker 1: and score. They're leading the league in points per game.

667
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 1: That's kind of your wheelhouse when you get that team

668
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 1: that's a little bit desperate to keep up with Josh

669
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 1: and those guys, and it sets you guys up for

670
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:57,719
Speaker 1: some success. Yeah. Absolutely. I mean, you guys know, as

671
00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:01,160
Speaker 1: a defensive lineman, if the offense is one dimensional, man,

672
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:03,279
Speaker 1: I can get in my best four point stance and

673
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:05,759
Speaker 1: I can just take off off the ball to try

674
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 1: to get after these guys. And so if we're up two, three,

675
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:11,680
Speaker 1: scores early. That is the definition of one dimensional and

676
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:13,560
Speaker 1: it's kind of hey, if they run the ball, good

677
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:16,480
Speaker 1: for them, but let's let's go get this guy. And

678
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:19,120
Speaker 1: so that's what having Josh and Digs and those guys

679
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:22,360
Speaker 1: on our offense, it's a great it's probably a huge

680
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:24,759
Speaker 1: attribute to why we're the number one defense right now.

681
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 1: So yeah, hopefully that that's the case again this week

682
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 1: and we can get up a few scores and we

683
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:33,440
Speaker 1: can all go, you know, go total red and go

684
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:36,160
Speaker 1: rush right. And I know, you know, nailing down the

685
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:38,880
Speaker 1: division title is job one here, Harrison, but there is

686
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:42,960
Speaker 1: something to be said about being the number one defense

687
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 1: in football. That's something that hasn't been done here since

688
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:48,080
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety nine. And you guys are going to get

689
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 1: a good look at it provided you take care of

690
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 1: business here this week. I know you probably won't revel

691
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:56,919
Speaker 1: in it much come the end of the regular season

692
00:38:56,960 --> 00:39:00,320
Speaker 1: because you got playoffs to worry about, but maybe come March,

693
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:03,840
Speaker 1: well that provided you guys finish the job here and

694
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 1: do what you're supposed to do come March, you're you know, April,

695
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:09,640
Speaker 1: when you reflect on the season, is that something that

696
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 1: you know you'll be able to say, hey, you know,

697
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 1: that's something nobody can take away from us. We were

698
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:18,080
Speaker 1: the number one defense in football in twenty twenty one. Yeah,

699
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 1: I think that that'll no matter how great all of

700
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:25,319
Speaker 1: our careers are on our team, on our defense, when

701
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 1: everyone's old and retired, I think that they'll look back

702
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 1: and say I was a part of something like that.

703
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:32,759
Speaker 1: If we do, you know, play a great game this

704
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:35,279
Speaker 1: weekend and that's how the cards fall, it's something that

705
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:36,719
Speaker 1: we'll remember for the rest of our lives and be

706
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:39,719
Speaker 1: able to tell our great grandkids about. So that's a

707
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:42,319
Speaker 1: definitely exciting feat. But again, you know, you never try

708
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:43,759
Speaker 1: to make a game too big, and you never want

709
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:45,799
Speaker 1: to overlook a game. So as long as we just

710
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 1: do what we do best and play our team defense,

711
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 1: the cards will will kind of fall where they may.

712
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:53,520
Speaker 1: But we're gonna do everything we can to make sure

713
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:55,839
Speaker 1: that happens, and it's a huge accomplishment if it does. Yeah,

714
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:58,239
Speaker 1: last one I've got for you because we remiss if

715
00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:00,880
Speaker 1: we didn't mention this. You're Buffalo Walter payment Man of

716
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 1: the Year nominee for the second consecutive year. First, congrats

717
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:05,440
Speaker 1: on that, because that's one of the biggest honors this

718
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 1: league offers. Believe it or not, there's odds on this.

719
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 1: You can have odds on anything. They already got odds

720
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:15,280
Speaker 1: out on Walter Payton Man of the Year league wide.

721
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:18,120
Speaker 1: You're fourth on the list for odds, So I think

722
00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:22,319
Speaker 1: that's pretty good, Harry. So, you know, kudos to you

723
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:24,240
Speaker 1: first of all for all you do in the community

724
00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 1: here and elsewhere, because I know you do it back

725
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:30,400
Speaker 1: home also and even sometimes out on the West Coast

726
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:34,120
Speaker 1: back from your Stanford days. I know that. I know

727
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:36,960
Speaker 1: winning the award is not what it's about for you,

728
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 1: but if that recognition does come down the pike, I

729
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 1: mean it seems like you have a healthy recognition of

730
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:48,000
Speaker 1: what that award represents because it is one of the

731
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:51,760
Speaker 1: highest honors that the entire league has to offer. Yeah,

732
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:54,880
Speaker 1: I've learned so much about it since, you know, I

733
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:57,200
Speaker 1: think actually I was on with you guys when I

734
00:40:57,239 --> 00:41:00,680
Speaker 1: was down there last year to accept the nomination, and

735
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:03,520
Speaker 1: I've learned a lot about the award through that process

736
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:06,120
Speaker 1: and how prestigious it is. It is a huge deal

737
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:09,239
Speaker 1: and a huge honor. And what I learned so much too,

738
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:11,400
Speaker 1: is it brings The best part about it is the

739
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:13,239
Speaker 1: awareness it brings to the people that I get to

740
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 1: work with. And so you know, after our playoff run,

741
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 1: when they did a segment on it, I got to

742
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 1: meet up with my playmakers for the first time and

743
00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:22,720
Speaker 1: to see the families and the kids who saw pictures

744
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:26,239
Speaker 1: of themselves on national television in the playoff and got

745
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:28,799
Speaker 1: to hear their stories in the videos of them on

746
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:33,640
Speaker 1: NFL dot Com. I mean, it's undescribable. They were they

747
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:35,960
Speaker 1: were the kings of their high schools and middle schools

748
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:37,400
Speaker 1: when they got to go back and say, yeah, that

749
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:41,640
Speaker 1: was me on TV. And then furthermore, there's also a

750
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:45,160
Speaker 1: financial contribution that comes from the foundation to the charity

751
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:48,439
Speaker 1: of my choice, which obviously is the Playmakers, And so

752
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 1: I got more funds to come right back into community

753
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:54,000
Speaker 1: here in Western New York, in my hometown in Omaha, Nebraska.

754
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:55,799
Speaker 1: So I was able to do even more events and

755
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:58,359
Speaker 1: do it and invite more kids and every one hundred

756
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:00,120
Speaker 1: percent free to all the kids and their families all

757
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:02,080
Speaker 1: the things that we do. But I think I did

758
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:05,920
Speaker 1: eight events in twenty twenty and was able to do

759
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 1: thirteen events in twenty twenty one because there's more funds

760
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:11,960
Speaker 1: coming in I can do more things, and more shopping

761
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:14,359
Speaker 1: sprees and holiday parties and David Busters and run out

762
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:16,759
Speaker 1: the drive in theater and all these great things. So

763
00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:20,120
Speaker 1: being nominated again just means that twenty twenty two gets

764
00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:22,080
Speaker 1: to have more of that come in. I know there's

00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:53,640

Speaker 1: one of the most prestigious honors that are out there,

787
00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:25,560

788
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:30,719
Speaker 1: financial award for the causes that he represents. So it's

789
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:34,680

790
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:38,040

Speaker 1: that's why it's hard to raise money. Don't you can't

796

Speaker 1: The records twenty one, so they were right there at

829
00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:56,919
Speaker 1: the end. They only missed it by a couple tie

830
00:45:56,920 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 1: in the record, so I wouldn't knelt down. Come on, well, yeah, yeah, no,

831
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:06,360
Speaker 1: it is. It is. Yeah. We want to get to

832
00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:10,080
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet here at one Bill's Live as we're

833
00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:14,200
Speaker 1: asking you which team is the ideal wild card matchup

834
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:18,160
Speaker 1: for the Bills and why? And tweet sheet brought to

835
00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:21,640
Speaker 1: you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment moving company

836
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:25,239
Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills. Jack says, ideally give me the

837
00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:28,520
Speaker 1: Raiders or the Chargers. Neither team is all that great

838
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:31,760
Speaker 1: to come into our house in January and win LA's

839
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:35,960
Speaker 1: d is rough. Vegas's quarterback and weapons are just met

840
00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:39,080
Speaker 1: not afraid of anyone. The Bills could play, but I

841
00:46:39,239 --> 00:46:43,360
Speaker 1: just as soon avoid the Colts. They present a bad matchup.

842
00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:47,080
Speaker 1: Go Bills now. Steve his contention kind of flies in

843
00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:50,759
Speaker 1: the face of your opinion that you stated on yesterday's show,

844
00:46:51,239 --> 00:46:54,919
Speaker 1: which was steer me clear of the quarterbacks that can

845
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:57,359
Speaker 1: really carry it. Don't want victory, You don't want any

846
00:46:57,600 --> 00:46:59,239
Speaker 1: I don't think any of these teams want any part

847
00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:03,280
Speaker 1: of a City Cincinnati or Buffalo because of mahomes Borough

848
00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:09,600
Speaker 1: and Josh Allen Tennessee, New England, Indie and the Chargers.

849
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:14,360
Speaker 1: Chargers maybe even part of that, but even the Chargers

850
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:16,520
Speaker 1: just getting in there. They're struggling to win games because

851
00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:20,680
Speaker 1: of their defense, and that those are the teams Kansas City, Cincinnati,

852
00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:22,759
Speaker 1: Buffalo have got the guy pulling the trigger that can

853
00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:26,239
Speaker 1: carry the whole thing. Tennessee is a good overall team

854
00:47:26,239 --> 00:47:28,919
Speaker 1: and they're well coached. What if Derick Henry comes back,

855
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:34,120
Speaker 1: how much does that change the conversation for you about Tennessee. Well,

856
00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:37,439
Speaker 1: if he comes back and he's like everything he's ever been, Yeah,

857
00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:39,920
Speaker 1: they're a problem, no question about it. They're a problem.

858
00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:42,319
Speaker 1: But I'll tell you this, the Bills went down there

859
00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:44,160
Speaker 1: and all of us were sitting there thinking they should

860
00:47:44,160 --> 00:47:47,920
Speaker 1: have beat that team. Yeah, so you know the thing.

861
00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:50,560
Speaker 1: The people are really scared and afraid of a matchup

862
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:55,200
Speaker 1: again with the Indianapolis Colts. And I'll say this, I'd

863
00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:57,640
Speaker 1: take our team over the Indianapolis Colts in their building

864
00:47:58,680 --> 00:48:00,600
Speaker 1: because then we throw the football all over the yard

865
00:48:00,600 --> 00:48:02,000
Speaker 1: and they got to keep up with us. I don't

866
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:04,040
Speaker 1: think the Colts can keep up with the Bills offensively.

867
00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:06,840
Speaker 1: Do you know what I think is underrated about the

868
00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:13,040
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans Their defensive line. Their defensive line was just

869
00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:16,040
Speaker 1: starting to come on when they played the Bills back

870
00:48:16,040 --> 00:48:20,680
Speaker 1: in Week five. Bud Dupree was not healthy. He is

871
00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:24,640
Speaker 1: healthy now and he's causing problems off the edge, and

872
00:48:24,719 --> 00:48:29,040
Speaker 1: he combined with Jeffrey Simmons, who is a game wrecker inside.

873
00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:32,840
Speaker 1: And now I think Denico Autry is healthy too. I

874
00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:35,920
Speaker 1: think that defensive line for Tennessee is underrated. They've got

875
00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:38,759
Speaker 1: some really elite players on both sides of the ball

876
00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:41,839
Speaker 1: when they're healthy. AJ Brown and Julio Jones are a

877
00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:44,520
Speaker 1: problem right, and Julio is getting healthy too. A J.

878
00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:47,520
Speaker 1: Brown is already back, and I just saw their offensive

879
00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:50,840
Speaker 1: coordinator said, we're looking forward to getting Julio back at practice,

880
00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:53,600
Speaker 1: if not this week, next week. So they've got yeah,

881
00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:55,680
Speaker 1: and that's the same thing with Derek Henry. They get

882
00:48:55,719 --> 00:48:57,640
Speaker 1: him back. So they got Julio Jones, AJ Brown and

883
00:48:57,640 --> 00:49:00,480
Speaker 1: then Derrick Henry getting back in the fold. Yeah. Ryan

884
00:49:00,520 --> 00:49:03,239
Speaker 1: Tannehill doesn't scare me. Those three guys do. We didn't

885
00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:05,239
Speaker 1: have to do anything right. Get the ball in the

886
00:49:05,239 --> 00:49:07,239
Speaker 1: hands of the people that can make a difference. That's right.

887
00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:11,960
Speaker 1: Vrabel could play quarterback for them. Yeah. So yeah, Tennessee

888
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:13,799
Speaker 1: is a problem with Derrick Henry back in the fold,

889
00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:15,799
Speaker 1: no question about it. But I still I will still

890
00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:18,360
Speaker 1: say this when push comes to show. The game is

891
00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:20,080
Speaker 1: about having a guy that can pull the trigger in

892
00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:23,080
Speaker 1: the pocket and beat you. And Cincinnati, Kansas City and

893
00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:26,520
Speaker 1: Buffalo got that guy. I don't know the New England, Indianapolis,

894
00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:30,839
Speaker 1: and Tennessee do break time for us here because when

895

Speaker 1: a running game, it's all job. Sound shut up, lower

917
00:51:22,440 --> 00:51:25,120
Speaker 1: that shoulder. He watched we gotta punches. He's taking this

918
00:51:25,160 --> 00:51:27,759
Speaker 1: guy go a little mac on them. Bam bam fat

919
00:51:27,880 --> 00:51:30,440
Speaker 1: he goes onto the rock, he runs over the tackler.

920
00:51:30,680 --> 00:51:35,120
Speaker 1: Sean Williams g out of the way. That is so good.

921
00:51:35,280 --> 00:51:38,080
Speaker 1: Low man wins right, this guy's down in the astroturfin

922
00:51:38,239 --> 00:51:40,920
Speaker 1: still goes down. We got a lot of pissed off

923
00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:43,800
Speaker 1: Bills fans last week who insisted, and by insist that

924
00:51:43,840 --> 00:51:47,320
Speaker 1: I mean threatened that Motor Singletary should have won WET

925
00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:50,560
Speaker 1: this week. Can you possibly I gotta tell you, Motor,

926
00:51:50,680 --> 00:51:53,279
Speaker 1: we love you. There's some beast coming up round. There

927
00:51:53,320 --> 00:51:58,040
Speaker 1: are some beast right now, dude, Yeah, there were some beasts, uh,

928
00:51:58,239 --> 00:52:03,320
Speaker 1: some some far more let's just say headline grabbing toss

929
00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:07,600
Speaker 1: aside angry runs by one Nagi Harris and even Nick Chubb,

930
00:52:08,040 --> 00:52:12,200
Speaker 1: who I thought may have I mean, Kyle, I know

931
00:52:12,239 --> 00:52:15,960
Speaker 1: you argued intent for Naji Harris, who was a two

932
00:52:16,040 --> 00:52:18,760
Speaker 1: time winner now this season for him in his rookie

933
00:52:18,840 --> 00:52:22,600
Speaker 1: year for angry runs. But man, Nick Chubb had a

934
00:52:22,640 --> 00:52:28,359
Speaker 1: guy looking like a surfboard full extension, like, I mean,

935
00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:29,799
Speaker 1: the guy looked like he might have been might as

936
00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:33,240
Speaker 1: well have been levitating or something. I might have gone

937
00:52:33,320 --> 00:52:35,560
Speaker 1: Chubb on that, but but you went Naji, and I

938
00:52:35,640 --> 00:52:39,600
Speaker 1: you know, I respect it, Rownnie. I have never claimed

939
00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:42,120
Speaker 1: to be a perfect man or an undefeated judger of

940
00:52:42,160 --> 00:52:46,759
Speaker 1: angry runs. I do appreciate you taking the wrath of

941
00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:50,920
Speaker 1: the Bills mafia away from the Devin's singletary and towards

942
00:52:50,960 --> 00:52:54,719
Speaker 1: the Nick Chubb because listen, I said it in the clip,

943
00:52:54,760 --> 00:52:59,600
Speaker 1: you reiterated it, Devin's singletaries due, He's really due. Tough category.

944
00:53:00,400 --> 00:53:03,200
Speaker 1: La Confidential was worthy of winning the Best Picture, but

945
00:53:03,239 --> 00:53:05,200
Speaker 1: it wasn't the same year as Titanic. I'm just I

946
00:53:05,239 --> 00:53:07,640
Speaker 1: don't control that. Yeah, but I will tell you that

947
00:53:07,719 --> 00:53:11,600
Speaker 1: in the twenty twenty season, Jonathan Taylor was nominated six

948
00:53:11,760 --> 00:53:16,080
Speaker 1: times before he won A true Susan Lucci has deal.

949
00:53:16,560 --> 00:53:18,880
Speaker 1: So Motors, just keep doing your thing, and I promise

950
00:53:18,960 --> 00:53:22,800
Speaker 1: we'll get it to you. Nick Chubb. I'm not necessarily

951
00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:25,680
Speaker 1: sure we got that one right, but let's again, tough category.

952
00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:27,840
Speaker 1: It's hard to do that, guys, is it? It's getting

953
00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:30,000
Speaker 1: tougher too, because now is the weather's turning, everybody's starting

954
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:31,680
Speaker 1: to run the ball more. Certainly, the Bills are running

955
00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:34,200
Speaker 1: the football more. With Devin singletary every other teams starting

956
00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:36,680
Speaker 1: to hand it off a little more. So it's gonna

957
00:53:36,680 --> 00:53:39,480
Speaker 1: get tougher and tougher to win that, I think going forward.

958
00:53:40,040 --> 00:53:41,960
Speaker 1: And by the way, I guess we should ask you,

959
00:53:42,600 --> 00:53:46,040
Speaker 1: so far, how's the new year going? Is it? You know,

960
00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:50,200
Speaker 1: markedly different? Is it? Are you happy it's twenty twenty two?

961
00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:53,160
Speaker 1: Is it? Is it just? Is it turning to the calendar?

962
00:53:53,320 --> 00:53:55,319
Speaker 1: Or is it something more than how's it gone? So far?

963
00:53:56,440 --> 00:53:59,120
Speaker 1: It's good? And you know what, Steve, thanks for asking

964
00:53:59,239 --> 00:54:01,880
Speaker 1: man that kids are good, Brooke. My wife is great.

965
00:54:01,920 --> 00:54:04,400
Speaker 1: I hope yours is as well. I think Larry David

966
00:54:04,440 --> 00:54:06,320
Speaker 1: puts it in what does he put in a brownie?

967
00:54:06,520 --> 00:54:08,840
Speaker 1: Is it January fourth? That you're no longer allowed to

968
00:54:08,840 --> 00:54:11,160
Speaker 1: say Happy New Year anymore? But he's a curmudgeon and

969
00:54:11,200 --> 00:54:13,000
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't subscribe to that theory. And the

970
00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:15,600
Speaker 1: new year is going great. And now we're coming down

971
00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:17,600
Speaker 1: the stretch of the longest NFL season of all time.

972
00:54:17,800 --> 00:54:20,200
Speaker 1: It's really really fun. Steve, Yeah, it is fun, and

973
00:54:20,360 --> 00:54:22,560
Speaker 1: I think it's it's I'm starting I will say this

974
00:54:22,600 --> 00:54:24,360
Speaker 1: though this I'm gonna point in my life whim is

975
00:54:24,360 --> 00:54:27,360
Speaker 1: starting to feel it late in the year. Um, yeah,

976
00:54:27,400 --> 00:54:30,600
Speaker 1: So I'm the rookie wall is real and I'm you know,

977
00:54:30,760 --> 00:54:32,120
Speaker 1: what do we call your will? I don't know the

978
00:54:32,200 --> 00:54:35,120
Speaker 1: veteran wall. I think it's an absolutely early retirement. But

979
00:54:35,239 --> 00:54:38,279
Speaker 1: it's like a mile marker twenty three out of time

980
00:54:38,360 --> 00:54:41,520
Speaker 1: that's just hit heart from the legs start cramping up

981
00:54:41,520 --> 00:54:44,439
Speaker 1: and the guys start I feel that we're Steve. Now

982
00:54:44,480 --> 00:54:47,480
Speaker 1: I understand the wavelength you're on, and yes, I'm fatigued

983
00:54:47,520 --> 00:54:49,360
Speaker 1: as hell. You know what it is. I start to

984
00:54:49,400 --> 00:54:51,680
Speaker 1: see like normally I'm like, oh, have a martini Friday

985
00:54:51,760 --> 00:54:55,080
Speaker 1: night and maybe some wine on Saturday. Now I'm like, Tuesday, sir,

986
00:54:55,440 --> 00:54:58,239
Speaker 1: let's pour some bourbon. Why not? So we got so

987
00:54:58,280 --> 00:55:01,320
Speaker 1: we got five of the AFC play off teams, all

988
00:55:01,400 --> 00:55:04,560
Speaker 1: locked in Tennessee, Kansas City, Cincinnati, Buffalo, New England. And

989
00:55:04,560 --> 00:55:07,640
Speaker 1: then at the point this point, it's Indianapolis and the

990
00:55:07,719 --> 00:55:11,439
Speaker 1: Chargers with Vegas and Pittsburgh. All these guys. I've said this,

991
00:55:11,960 --> 00:55:14,040
Speaker 1: and I'm actually to get your take on this, Kyle.

992
00:55:14,080 --> 00:55:18,040
Speaker 1: I've said this. Kansas City, Cincinnati, Buffalo are a little

993
00:55:18,080 --> 00:55:22,520
Speaker 1: bit different than Tennessee, New England and Indianapolis. Kansas City,

994
00:55:22,560 --> 00:55:28,000
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Buffalo have got Mahomes, Allen and Borrow. Tennessee's got Tannehill,

995
00:55:28,360 --> 00:55:33,000
Speaker 1: Mac Jones and Carson Wentz. At this point in the playoffs,

996
00:55:33,120 --> 00:55:36,840
Speaker 1: I'm really tending to think the teams with that guy

997
00:55:37,800 --> 00:55:39,319
Speaker 1: you kind of got to give the edge to, even

998
00:55:39,360 --> 00:55:42,000
Speaker 1: though Tennessee's the one seed, even though New England's got

999
00:55:42,040 --> 00:55:44,640
Speaker 1: you know, things going on in Indianapolis, got that run

1000
00:55:44,680 --> 00:55:47,640
Speaker 1: game that won't quit. I think ultimately, at this point

1001
00:55:47,640 --> 00:55:50,359
Speaker 1: of the season, you really want that guy that can

1002
00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:52,759
Speaker 1: pull the trigger and that points to the two, three

1003
00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:55,920
Speaker 1: and four seed rather than the one, five and six seed.

1004
00:55:57,440 --> 00:55:59,480
Speaker 1: I hear you, man, isn't it an interesting field? And

1005
00:55:59,520 --> 00:56:01,759
Speaker 1: if you're if you're on the Tennessee Titans, if you're

1006
00:56:01,760 --> 00:56:04,759
Speaker 1: a Titans player, this is just absolutely beautiful for you.

1007
00:56:05,040 --> 00:56:08,799
Speaker 1: This is perfect because they're the one. They've earned it

1008
00:56:08,920 --> 00:56:13,600
Speaker 1: under ridiculous circumstances, and yet I don't think anybody thinks

1009
00:56:13,600 --> 00:56:17,200
Speaker 1: they're anything. I've seen people try to estimate this is

1010
00:56:17,239 --> 00:56:20,600
Speaker 1: the worst one seed since fill in the blank, and

1011
00:56:20,800 --> 00:56:23,400
Speaker 1: this is the most beatable one seed since fill in

1012
00:56:23,400 --> 00:56:25,400
Speaker 1: the blank. Schraeger was on our show the other day

1013
00:56:25,400 --> 00:56:27,880
Speaker 1: and this is yesterday, So just after the Titans had

1014
00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:29,960
Speaker 1: become the one because the Chiefs lost, and he's just

1015
00:56:30,040 --> 00:56:33,360
Speaker 1: asking out loud. The Chiefs go to Tennessee, the Bills

1016
00:56:33,400 --> 00:56:37,440
Speaker 1: go to Tennessee. Is anybody taking the Titans. Here's what

1017
00:56:37,480 --> 00:56:40,920
Speaker 1: I would say. Those fan bases be very very careful

1018
00:56:40,920 --> 00:56:43,520
Speaker 1: of the Titans because they are heavily flawed and they're

1019
00:56:43,520 --> 00:56:45,960
Speaker 1: not as flash and not as fun. They got some

1020
00:56:46,160 --> 00:56:49,800
Speaker 1: really fat, impressive skins on the wall. This whole regime

1021
00:56:50,320 --> 00:56:52,640
Speaker 1: ended the Brady New England thing. They ended the Lamar

1022
00:56:52,719 --> 00:56:56,920
Speaker 1: Jackson raven season. They are a varsity team. There's some

1023
00:56:57,000 --> 00:57:00,840
Speaker 1: freshman in this squad. If the Bengals freshman, the Chargers

1024
00:57:00,840 --> 00:57:03,719
Speaker 1: of they get in freshmen. The Titans are not that

1025
00:57:03,800 --> 00:57:07,000
Speaker 1: cool or not that flashy, but man, they are tough

1026
00:57:07,040 --> 00:57:10,040
Speaker 1: as hell. And I think it's a fascinating way this

1027
00:57:10,160 --> 00:57:12,960
Speaker 1: is going. Because when everybody says one thing, oh, the

1028
00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:16,040
Speaker 1: Titans remminently beatable, I bet till the turnaround and surprise them,

1029
00:57:16,360 --> 00:57:18,920
Speaker 1: I would say absolutely. I've said they are the best

1030
00:57:19,040 --> 00:57:23,920
Speaker 1: win ugly team in football. They win ugly better than

1031
00:57:23,960 --> 00:57:26,240
Speaker 1: anybody I'll say. I'll say this too. I've got a

1032
00:57:26,240 --> 00:57:28,680
Speaker 1: lot of respect from Mike Vrabel and his staff because

1033
00:57:28,720 --> 00:57:30,840
Speaker 1: they never I mean, when you get down to it

1034
00:57:30,880 --> 00:57:33,160
Speaker 1: and there's and I say, I've never been very good

1035
00:57:33,200 --> 00:57:35,480
Speaker 1: at it. At game management, timeouts and stuff like that,

1036
00:57:35,600 --> 00:57:38,760
Speaker 1: they never miss. They take a time out when they

1037
00:57:38,800 --> 00:57:41,400
Speaker 1: need it. They save timeouts. I remember at the end

1038
00:57:41,440 --> 00:57:47,280
Speaker 1: of the Bills Titans game earlier this season, the Titans refused, refused, refused,

1039
00:57:47,320 --> 00:57:49,480
Speaker 1: refused to take a time out as the game was

1040
00:57:49,520 --> 00:57:52,600
Speaker 1: winding down, and all of a sudden, you realize the

1041
00:57:52,600 --> 00:57:55,280
Speaker 1: pressure was back on Buffalo. They gotta get this play in.

1042
00:57:55,320 --> 00:57:57,720
Speaker 1: They gotta decide, they gotta go. They're not getting a

1043
00:57:57,760 --> 00:58:00,200
Speaker 1: break from the Tennessee Titans. And it ends up they

1044
00:58:00,240 --> 00:58:02,800
Speaker 1: hustle a plate in, somebody slips and falls, and the

1045
00:58:02,840 --> 00:58:06,440
Speaker 1: game is over. Mike Vrabel deserves a lot of credit

1046
00:58:06,480 --> 00:58:10,960
Speaker 1: for the way he handles game management, timeouts, clock management,

1047
00:58:11,080 --> 00:58:13,400
Speaker 1: end of game, end of half, all of the stuff

1048
00:58:13,400 --> 00:58:17,520
Speaker 1: that falls into coach's feet that sometimes slips through the cracks,

1049
00:58:17,640 --> 00:58:20,280
Speaker 1: he and his staff really tend to get right every

1050
00:58:20,280 --> 00:58:22,160
Speaker 1: single time. I gotta tip my hat to him. They're

1051
00:58:22,200 --> 00:58:24,919
Speaker 1: really good at that. You should, Steve do we see

1052
00:58:24,960 --> 00:58:27,439
Speaker 1: what happened at the end of the Cowboys Cardinals game.

1053
00:58:27,800 --> 00:58:30,920
Speaker 1: The Cowboys cause a fumble, it's right there on the ground,

1054
00:58:30,960 --> 00:58:33,440
Speaker 1: they recover it, the referees don't call it a fumble.

1055
00:58:33,720 --> 00:58:36,520
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy can't challenge it because he has no timeouts left.

1056
00:58:36,720 --> 00:58:39,560
Speaker 1: There's out of timeouts. It's an obvious fumble that could

1057
00:58:39,640 --> 00:58:42,600
Speaker 1: change the entire game. And there's that tiny little nuance

1058
00:58:42,680 --> 00:58:44,840
Speaker 1: that I think Rabel is really good at. And to

1059
00:58:44,960 --> 00:58:47,240
Speaker 1: make it even more interesting, like I don't know if

1060
00:58:47,320 --> 00:58:48,800
Speaker 1: Zach Taylor is going to be good at that in

1061
00:58:48,840 --> 00:58:52,440
Speaker 1: the playoffs, or if it's Brandon Staley or Rich Besaccia

1062
00:58:52,560 --> 00:58:55,160
Speaker 1: who might be coaching one of these playoff teams. I

1063
00:58:55,200 --> 00:58:57,040
Speaker 1: don't know how we've gotten this far in the conversation

1064
00:58:57,080 --> 00:58:59,840
Speaker 1: either without saying you guys have probably seen it. And

1065
00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:01,920
Speaker 1: this is the all I want from the playoffs. I

1066
00:59:01,920 --> 00:59:03,439
Speaker 1: don't care who wins the Super Bowl, who wins a FC.

1067
00:59:03,560 --> 00:59:05,760
Speaker 1: I want one thing, and it goes like this, all right,

1068
00:59:06,080 --> 00:59:09,640
Speaker 1: So the Steelers beat the Ravens. Next week they went out,

1069
00:59:10,400 --> 00:59:13,080
Speaker 1: then the Jaguars flipped the table and beat the cause

1070
00:59:14,520 --> 00:59:17,000
Speaker 1: the scenario Sunday night, here we go and go ahead,

1071
00:59:17,120 --> 00:59:20,080
Speaker 1: So here we go. If anybody is listening or watching

1072
00:59:20,120 --> 00:59:22,400
Speaker 1: has not heard this. It is the craziest thing ever. Again,

1073
00:59:22,720 --> 00:59:27,520
Speaker 1: Steelers beat Ravens pretty feasible. Jaguars beat Colts gonna be tough,

1074
00:59:27,760 --> 00:59:30,800
Speaker 1: but the Colts have not won in Jackson Wilson's twenty fourteen.

1075
00:59:30,920 --> 00:59:34,080
Speaker 1: If both of those things happen, then the Sunday nighter

1076
00:59:34,160 --> 00:59:38,960
Speaker 1: on NBC the national game, which is Raiders Chargers. The

1077
00:59:39,120 --> 00:59:42,360
Speaker 1: scenario is, it's sure it's a win in in. However,

1078
00:59:43,080 --> 00:59:45,680
Speaker 1: if the game were to end in a tie between

1079
00:59:45,720 --> 00:59:50,160
Speaker 1: the Raiders and Chargers, both teams get into the playoffs.

1080
00:59:50,480 --> 00:59:54,560
Speaker 1: Both get in, which means if the Steelers win earlier

1081
00:59:54,560 --> 00:59:57,280
Speaker 1: in that day against the Ravens and if the Jaguars

1082
00:59:57,320 --> 00:59:59,320
Speaker 1: went early that day against the Colts, it would be

1083
00:59:59,400 --> 01:00:03,520
Speaker 1: mutually beneficial for both the Chargers and Raiders, huge rivals,

1084
01:00:03,560 --> 01:00:07,280
Speaker 1: to say, hey, let's both get in here. Why what

1085
01:00:07,400 --> 01:00:10,240
Speaker 1: are we thinking. Let's both punch our ticket by any

1086
01:00:10,320 --> 01:00:13,000
Speaker 1: means necessary. Now, I don't know how you would do that,

1087
01:00:13,560 --> 01:00:15,840
Speaker 1: sort of just running the ball into the line every

1088
01:00:15,840 --> 01:00:18,760
Speaker 1: time we're taking a knee. But I've never seen that before,

1089
01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:21,160
Speaker 1: and I want to see it Sunday. Well, yeah, yeah,

1090
01:00:21,200 --> 01:00:24,040
Speaker 1: And Steve and I talked about this already on the show,

1091
01:00:24,040 --> 01:00:25,400
Speaker 1: and we were going to ask you about it, but

1092
01:00:25,640 --> 01:00:28,320
Speaker 1: good on you for running it up the flagpole already.

1093
01:00:28,880 --> 01:00:34,400
Speaker 1: And Steve openly wondered if the scenario unfolds, there's obviously

1094
01:00:34,440 --> 01:00:37,720
Speaker 1: four hours before the game with you know, a tie,

1095
01:00:37,800 --> 01:00:41,800
Speaker 1: and they're both in available to them. Does the commissioner

1096
01:00:41,920 --> 01:00:45,920
Speaker 1: lob a phone call to both owners? And if he does,

1097
01:00:46,680 --> 01:00:48,920
Speaker 1: I don't know. If Mark Davis is picking it up,

1098
01:00:49,800 --> 01:00:52,760
Speaker 1: what kind of favor is he gonna do Roge right

1099
01:00:52,800 --> 01:00:56,760
Speaker 1: now after feeling his head coach got scapegoaded and railroaded

1100
01:00:56,800 --> 01:01:00,160
Speaker 1: out of the league, He's not even picking up the phone.

1101
01:01:01,080 --> 01:01:04,760
Speaker 1: That's fascinating because they got beef allegedly. I'm sure it's

1102
01:01:04,800 --> 01:01:07,520
Speaker 1: not real warm and rosy. So then do you because

1103
01:01:07,520 --> 01:01:09,600
Speaker 1: it has to be both of them? Yeah, you got

1104
01:01:09,880 --> 01:01:12,200
Speaker 1: you gotta get both of them on the phone. And

1105
01:01:12,200 --> 01:01:14,280
Speaker 1: so what you got a four hour gap in which,

1106
01:01:14,520 --> 01:01:17,160
Speaker 1: oh my god, the Jaguars won. What are we gonna do?

1107
01:01:17,200 --> 01:01:19,360
Speaker 1: You gotta call those teams and be like, don't you

1108
01:01:19,520 --> 01:01:24,320
Speaker 1: dare on NBC do some nonsense results in the tie. However, I,

1109
01:01:24,800 --> 01:01:26,640
Speaker 1: as a fan of the game and as an agent

1110
01:01:26,720 --> 01:01:30,160
Speaker 1: of chaos, would really like the theater of watching these

1111
01:01:30,160 --> 01:01:32,720
Speaker 1: two rival teams trying to figure out how to tie Steve.

1112
01:01:32,800 --> 01:01:36,240
Speaker 1: Can you even begin to venture? Let's say this hypothetical

1113
01:01:36,280 --> 01:01:38,440
Speaker 1: where they say, you know what, behind closed doors, damn it,

1114
01:01:38,680 --> 01:01:41,840
Speaker 1: we're gonna tie. Shake hands. We agree, the owners are

1115
01:01:41,840 --> 01:01:43,919
Speaker 1: on board, the coaches on board. How would you even

1116
01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:49,120
Speaker 1: execute that. I would kneel down every play. I would

1117
01:01:49,160 --> 01:01:51,720
Speaker 1: make it as every time. Then that's just rubbing the

1118
01:01:51,760 --> 01:01:55,800
Speaker 1: league and obvious as it can possibly be. I would

1119
01:01:55,880 --> 01:02:01,240
Speaker 1: kneel down fifteen consecutive possessions both sides. We'll punt it

1120
01:02:01,240 --> 01:02:02,960
Speaker 1: down to your end, so you know, we'll put it

1121
01:02:03,000 --> 01:02:04,680
Speaker 1: down to you so you're out of field goal range.

1122
01:02:05,160 --> 01:02:06,960
Speaker 1: But as long as you're we'll just do it well.

1123
01:02:07,040 --> 01:02:08,680
Speaker 1: And we won't feel to punt. We won't do it.

1124
01:02:08,720 --> 01:02:10,880
Speaker 1: We'll no turnovers, none of that stuff. Will let every

1125
01:02:10,920 --> 01:02:15,760
Speaker 1: punt bounce and that'll be it. And this is coming

1126
01:02:15,840 --> 01:02:18,920
Speaker 1: from a man Kyle, who, in his eighteen years at

1127
01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:22,000
Speaker 1: CBS would tell the producers whenever they were putting up

1128
01:02:22,000 --> 01:02:25,440
Speaker 1: playoffs scenarios, would shout at them and say, don't you

1129
01:02:25,520 --> 01:02:28,000
Speaker 1: dare put ties up there on the scenarios. I don't

1130
01:02:28,000 --> 01:02:29,800
Speaker 1: want to see them. I don't want to look at

1131
01:02:29,880 --> 01:02:31,760
Speaker 1: them and nothing. You know what it's like when they

1132
01:02:31,760 --> 01:02:33,959
Speaker 1: do the playoffs scenarios, they say, well, if this team wins,

1133
01:02:33,960 --> 01:02:35,760
Speaker 1: this team loses, this team wins. It now if they

1134
01:02:35,840 --> 01:02:38,400
Speaker 1: if this team ties, I said, no, throw the ties

1135
01:02:38,440 --> 01:02:41,640
Speaker 1: out because it turns it into a phone book trying

1136
01:02:41,640 --> 01:02:43,680
Speaker 1: to read the graphic on the screen. For first thing.

1137
01:02:44,120 --> 01:02:46,920
Speaker 1: Second thing is the second thing is if it ties,

1138
01:02:47,600 --> 01:02:49,960
Speaker 1: nobody's gonna remember what it means anyway. So we'll go

1139
01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:52,600
Speaker 1: back and fix it. Just give me the wins losses.

1140
01:02:52,760 --> 01:02:56,640
Speaker 1: And I told them, but this is this is it

1141
01:02:56,720 --> 01:03:03,520
Speaker 1: opens the door too. You know something that is outside

1142
01:03:03,560 --> 01:03:06,600
Speaker 1: the control of everybody involved. Yeah, right, you're gonna put

1143
01:03:06,640 --> 01:03:09,440
Speaker 1: the Raiders. You'll put the Raiders and Chargers. You they

1144
01:03:09,520 --> 01:03:11,400
Speaker 1: gotta deal with it. You can say whatever you want,

1145
01:03:11,400 --> 01:03:12,919
Speaker 1: you gotta do this. You get, but they got They're

1146
01:03:12,920 --> 01:03:15,480
Speaker 1: the ones that are in have got there. That's their

1147
01:03:15,480 --> 01:03:17,880
Speaker 1: skin in the game, not yours. But this is Defcon

1148
01:03:18,120 --> 01:03:21,360
Speaker 1: five for the very fabric of the league in terms

1149
01:03:21,360 --> 01:03:23,800
Speaker 1: of its competitive nature. I mean this right, I mean

1150
01:03:23,840 --> 01:03:27,760
Speaker 1: the alarm bells are going on who Park Avenue? If

1151
01:03:27,800 --> 01:03:29,640
Speaker 1: this is the scenario that sits in front of them

1152
01:03:29,680 --> 01:03:32,360
Speaker 1: with four hours before let me say this too, how

1153
01:03:32,640 --> 01:03:37,200
Speaker 1: you don't think Jimmers saying Frank Reich and the Indianapolis

1154
01:03:37,280 --> 01:03:41,640
Speaker 1: Colds would absolutely have their heads explode because they're the

1155
01:03:41,640 --> 01:03:45,440
Speaker 1: ones that are out. Yeah, they're done, So they'd be

1156
01:03:45,480 --> 01:03:47,960
Speaker 1: freaking out. And even if they were even if they

1157
01:03:48,000 --> 01:03:50,840
Speaker 1: were an attempt to start it, meaning the Raiders and

1158
01:03:50,960 --> 01:03:53,280
Speaker 1: the Chargers, and let's say they're trying to be slick

1159
01:03:53,320 --> 01:03:56,120
Speaker 1: about it and it's just you know, run left, run right,

1160
01:03:56,160 --> 01:03:59,360
Speaker 1: and they got at halftime, there would be some sort

1161
01:03:59,360 --> 01:04:01,760
Speaker 1: of intervention or at the quarter, or there would be threats,

1162
01:04:01,840 --> 01:04:04,760
Speaker 1: or they would be promises like it would be truly

1163
01:04:05,000 --> 01:04:08,160
Speaker 1: like a World War three of competitiveness. And I've never

1164
01:04:08,200 --> 01:04:11,000
Speaker 1: been a bigger Jaguars fan in my life. Sorry coach, Right,

1165
01:04:11,160 --> 01:04:14,880
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor, great season with you. And then I need

1166
01:04:14,920 --> 01:04:16,880
Speaker 1: the theater of Sunday night, and I want to take

1167
01:04:16,880 --> 01:04:20,360
Speaker 1: it one step further. The game is the game is

1168
01:04:20,360 --> 01:04:23,640
Speaker 1: in Las Vegas, right, Yes, it's in Las Vegas. What

1169
01:04:23,800 --> 01:04:30,400
Speaker 1: the hell of the odds makers doing, Mama baby? Yeah, no,

1170
01:04:30,560 --> 01:04:32,520
Speaker 1: this is the Super Bowl. I never minded the win

1171
01:04:32,600 --> 01:04:37,120
Speaker 1: in LA and worry Chargers Raiders on Week eighteen and Sunday,

1172
01:04:37,200 --> 01:04:39,240
Speaker 1: that's the Super Bowl. We're going I gotta go, this

1173
01:04:39,280 --> 01:04:41,840
Speaker 1: is the best game. Nothing to nothing, you'd have to

1174
01:04:41,880 --> 01:04:44,040
Speaker 1: I mean the odd you'd almost have to take that

1175
01:04:44,120 --> 01:04:46,160
Speaker 1: game off the board. If if you think they would,

1176
01:04:46,400 --> 01:04:48,920
Speaker 1: I think they'd take it off the board. Yeah, And

1177
01:04:49,000 --> 01:04:51,040
Speaker 1: I don't know, Steve, honestly do respect. I don't know

1178
01:04:51,080 --> 01:04:53,200
Speaker 1: if I liked the idea of punts, because if a

1179
01:04:53,280 --> 01:04:55,520
Speaker 1: snap goes over somebody's head, that could be a safety

1180
01:04:55,600 --> 01:04:58,040
Speaker 1: or something like. We might just have to knee take

1181
01:04:58,040 --> 01:05:01,320
Speaker 1: a knee on fourth, go for it, maybe just change

1182
01:05:01,360 --> 01:05:04,400
Speaker 1: possessions eventually, But if you took enough knees starting at

1183
01:05:04,400 --> 01:05:06,240
Speaker 1: the twenty five, I think eventually you'd be back in

1184
01:05:06,320 --> 01:05:08,200
Speaker 1: the end zone. We have to do this right, How

1185
01:05:08,240 --> 01:05:10,360
Speaker 1: about this? You can you can do it both ways.

1186
01:05:10,440 --> 01:05:12,760
Speaker 1: Just say, hey, this opening kickoff, we're gonna let you

1187
01:05:12,840 --> 01:05:16,680
Speaker 1: run it to midfield, and then what we're gonna run down,

1188
01:05:16,840 --> 01:05:19,160
Speaker 1: You're gonna go down and we'll trade kneel downs through

1189
01:05:19,160 --> 01:05:22,200
Speaker 1: this first half right at midfield. Or take knee, take

1190
01:05:22,320 --> 01:05:25,240
Speaker 1: knees on first, second, and third down, and then run

1191
01:05:25,240 --> 01:05:28,000
Speaker 1: it forward five yards on fourth down, turnover on downs

1192
01:05:28,000 --> 01:05:29,760
Speaker 1: and now you go and do the same thing, right,

1193
01:05:30,280 --> 01:05:33,040
Speaker 1: But the table is set. Let me get this the kickoff,

1194
01:05:33,200 --> 01:05:34,720
Speaker 1: and then you're gonna have kickers gonna run to the

1195
01:05:34,800 --> 01:05:38,080
Speaker 1: fifty and fall down at the fifty yard trip there. Yeah,

1196
01:05:38,080 --> 01:05:40,960
Speaker 1: you'll trip and no, it won't even fall down, creating

1197
01:05:41,040 --> 01:05:43,400
Speaker 1: me like practice. You'll run into a crowd. They'll stand

1198
01:05:43,480 --> 01:05:46,680
Speaker 1: him up forward, progress, whistle, nobody goes down. Everybody's health.

1199
01:05:46,720 --> 01:05:48,920
Speaker 1: I would only say this to my bosses. You know,

1200
01:05:48,920 --> 01:05:50,680
Speaker 1: I'm an NFL employe. I shoul probably shut the hell

1201
01:05:50,720 --> 01:05:53,560
Speaker 1: up right now, but I would only say huge ratings.

1202
01:05:53,720 --> 01:05:56,040
Speaker 1: Everyone will turn in to watch this. Good point, because

1203
01:05:56,040 --> 01:05:58,160
Speaker 1: if nothing attracts a crowd like a crowd, you might

1204
01:05:58,200 --> 01:06:00,560
Speaker 1: be like, well NBC will no, no, no, BC would

1205
01:06:00,560 --> 01:06:03,120
Speaker 1: have the craziest, weirdest football game ever played. I think

1206
01:06:03,160 --> 01:06:05,840
Speaker 1: it's actually a good thing. Yeah, yeah, unless they decide

1207
01:06:05,880 --> 01:06:11,320
Speaker 1: to go to Heidi or something that no charges raiders.

1208
01:06:11,400 --> 01:06:12,680
Speaker 1: I don't want to be the guy in the booth

1209
01:06:12,760 --> 01:06:16,000
Speaker 1: trying to make and make entertainment of it. Wow, but well, yeah,

1210
01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:18,280
Speaker 1: this is gonna be Counsworth and and I would think

1211
01:06:18,280 --> 01:06:23,560
Speaker 1: almad tariko, they gotta go to work. They yeah, season game,

1212
01:06:23,560 --> 01:06:27,280
Speaker 1: it is really all about it. I I think you're

1213
01:06:27,360 --> 01:06:31,120
Speaker 1: right everybody would watch it. I'd like to see the

1214
01:06:31,200 --> 01:06:35,240
Speaker 1: highlight reel from the game. The postgame press conferences, they

1215
01:06:35,280 --> 01:06:38,760
Speaker 1: asked these guys, so, what were you thinking there in

1216
01:06:38,800 --> 01:06:42,960
Speaker 1: the third quarter? Be so much? Oh at halftime? Coach,

1217
01:06:43,000 --> 01:06:46,480
Speaker 1: what do you need from your team? That's it. It's

1218
01:06:46,480 --> 01:06:51,720
Speaker 1: just go on and on there that I think it's

1219
01:06:51,720 --> 01:06:54,600
Speaker 1: really intriguing. I think, um, yeah, we've talked so much

1220
01:06:54,600 --> 01:06:56,400
Speaker 1: about it though now it's not gonna happen yet. You

1221
01:06:56,400 --> 01:07:00,200
Speaker 1: know what, We're in the middle of a pandemic. It Yeah,

1222
01:07:00,200 --> 01:07:03,440
Speaker 1: on a more important subject, Kyle, Yeah, the thing we're

1223
01:07:03,480 --> 01:07:07,400
Speaker 1: knocking around with our listeners today is is there an

1224
01:07:07,440 --> 01:07:10,360
Speaker 1: ideal matchup in your mind for wild card round for

1225
01:07:10,400 --> 01:07:14,280
Speaker 1: the Bills in the playoffs? And obviously there's six possible

1226
01:07:14,320 --> 01:07:20,280
Speaker 1: teams it could still be, but you know, Indie, Chargers, Raiders,

1227
01:07:20,720 --> 01:07:26,440
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Baltimore, New England. Does one tickle your fancy as

1228
01:07:26,480 --> 01:07:30,360
Speaker 1: a good matchup to help the Bills advance? All right, well,

1229
01:07:30,480 --> 01:07:32,640
Speaker 1: let's definitely take Indie out of the mix. We don't

1230
01:07:32,640 --> 01:07:37,080
Speaker 1: want any part of them right now. That's not pretty. Listen,

1231
01:07:37,440 --> 01:07:39,000
Speaker 1: some of these are the ones you're listening or we

1232
01:07:39,000 --> 01:07:41,120
Speaker 1: don't even know if they're in to take the Chargers

1233
01:07:41,160 --> 01:07:43,480
Speaker 1: all day long. The Chargers are heavily flawed and really

1234
01:07:43,520 --> 01:07:46,480
Speaker 1: bad on defense, and Justin Herbert is God's gift, but

1235
01:07:46,800 --> 01:07:48,520
Speaker 1: you know, I guess, but he's a sub five hundred

1236
01:07:48,560 --> 01:07:50,800
Speaker 1: quarterback in his career. I would take the Chargers any day,

1237
01:07:51,120 --> 01:07:53,600
Speaker 1: a realistic one. And this is not a hot take.

1238
01:07:54,760 --> 01:07:57,360
Speaker 1: If I'm a Bills fan. I got no fear in

1239
01:07:57,360 --> 01:07:59,880
Speaker 1: New England right now. Damn it. I got no fear.

1240
01:08:00,240 --> 01:08:03,240
Speaker 1: They handled them fine in a real game played on

1241
01:08:03,280 --> 01:08:07,880
Speaker 1: the planet Earth in regular semiregular conditions. I think that

1242
01:08:07,920 --> 01:08:10,880
Speaker 1: the mac Jones experience is kind of peaked. I really do.

1243
01:08:11,080 --> 01:08:13,360
Speaker 1: I think the defense the Patriots is kind of peaked now.

1244
01:08:13,400 --> 01:08:15,440
Speaker 1: Granted they put up fifty points last week, I get it,

1245
01:08:15,440 --> 01:08:17,800
Speaker 1: but it was on like a COVID ravage Jacksonville team.

1246
01:08:17,800 --> 01:08:19,840
Speaker 1: It doesn't count. I'm not afraid of New England at all.

1247
01:08:19,840 --> 01:08:21,599
Speaker 1: I would answer your question only that way. The teams

1248
01:08:21,840 --> 01:08:24,800
Speaker 1: more that you don't want to play no on any

1249
01:08:24,840 --> 01:08:29,040
Speaker 1: part of Indianapolis. And I actually don't love the Tennessee

1250
01:08:29,040 --> 01:08:32,360
Speaker 1: matchup eventually, especially if what you're hearing about Henry getting back,

1251
01:08:32,439 --> 01:08:35,519
Speaker 1: and especially if they have a buy to get him back.

1252
01:08:35,520 --> 01:08:37,800
Speaker 1: I don't like those two teams because we've seen that

1253
01:08:37,800 --> 01:08:40,160
Speaker 1: movie already this year. Right, Yeah, I would agree with

1254
01:08:40,240 --> 01:08:44,479
Speaker 1: Yovo any of these teams. If Buffalo is click, they

1255
01:08:44,520 --> 01:08:46,040
Speaker 1: got the number one defense in the league, and they're

1256
01:08:46,040 --> 01:08:49,040
Speaker 1: scoring more points than anybody. They're the best put differential team.

1257
01:08:49,080 --> 01:08:51,000
Speaker 1: I mean, the Bills are a team. I don't I

1258
01:08:51,080 --> 01:08:55,439
Speaker 1: think that if teams are looking around, this is not

1259
01:08:55,560 --> 01:08:57,280
Speaker 1: The Bills are not high on the list of anybody

1260
01:08:57,320 --> 01:08:59,200
Speaker 1: else to be wanting to come down. Even if if

1261
01:08:59,240 --> 01:09:01,800
Speaker 1: you get him in your I don't think Indiannapolis would

1262
01:09:01,840 --> 01:09:04,240
Speaker 1: want to be part of Buffalo in their building in

1263
01:09:04,320 --> 01:09:06,320
Speaker 1: great conditions. You can say what you want about the

1264
01:09:06,360 --> 01:09:08,360
Speaker 1: run defense. It's not the same run defense it was

1265
01:09:08,400 --> 01:09:13,600
Speaker 1: a month ago. And this offense in great weather or

1266
01:09:13,680 --> 01:09:15,920
Speaker 1: in a dome we haven't seen this year. Well, that

1267
01:09:15,960 --> 01:09:18,120
Speaker 1: game would be here, it wouldn't be right. But yeah,

1268
01:09:18,600 --> 01:09:21,559
Speaker 1: you're saying, And I gotta tell you, guys, I'm gonna

1269
01:09:21,560 --> 01:09:23,280
Speaker 1: put cards on the table. I have to come clean.

1270
01:09:23,680 --> 01:09:26,400
Speaker 1: I two timed you, guys. I was I was invited

1271
01:09:26,840 --> 01:09:30,720
Speaker 1: onto Chiefs Radio and I accepted the invitation, and I

1272
01:09:30,760 --> 01:09:32,680
Speaker 1: want you to know that I stayed real, and I

1273
01:09:32,680 --> 01:09:34,519
Speaker 1: don't just go around saying every team is the greatest.

1274
01:09:34,560 --> 01:09:36,479
Speaker 1: They said right now, this was a couple of days ago,

1275
01:09:37,040 --> 01:09:39,400
Speaker 1: after these last games, and who do you think is

1276
01:09:39,400 --> 01:09:41,120
Speaker 1: the best team they have seen? I said the Bills.

1277
01:09:41,320 --> 01:09:43,160
Speaker 1: I think it's the Bills. I absolutely do. And they

1278
01:09:43,200 --> 01:09:45,400
Speaker 1: all get out of here and all these Twitter fans

1279
01:09:45,400 --> 01:09:47,960
Speaker 1: just killing me for saying the Bills. I'll say it again.

1280
01:09:48,160 --> 01:09:51,000
Speaker 1: I think this season hit rock bottom, not in the

1281
01:09:51,320 --> 01:09:53,960
Speaker 1: first New England game. At halftime of the Tampa game,

1282
01:09:54,160 --> 01:09:55,760
Speaker 1: I think that it was all the seat. I feel

1283
01:09:55,760 --> 01:09:57,719
Speaker 1: like the whole thing, all the dreams were being shattered.

1284
01:09:57,720 --> 01:09:59,920
Speaker 1: It was awful. The team that came out of that

1285
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:01,960
Speaker 1: halftime locker room has been the best team in football

1286
01:10:01,960 --> 01:10:03,720
Speaker 1: for two and a half weeks. I have not and

1287
01:10:03,760 --> 01:10:06,080
Speaker 1: that includes the Packers, and I have full respect for

1288
01:10:06,120 --> 01:10:09,479
Speaker 1: the Packers, but I'm talking not the afcast, not the FC,

1289
01:10:09,600 --> 01:10:11,800
Speaker 1: the whole deal. I have not seen a better team

1290
01:10:11,800 --> 01:10:13,799
Speaker 1: than the Buffalo Bills. And I think you're right, Steve.

1291
01:10:14,400 --> 01:10:16,280
Speaker 1: I know the Coast game was ugly. I know the

1292
01:10:16,320 --> 01:10:18,679
Speaker 1: Titans game was low ugly. It was a few months ago.

1293
01:10:18,720 --> 01:10:20,920
Speaker 1: Though this team right now is I just think Buffalo

1294
01:10:21,040 --> 01:10:23,880
Speaker 1: is awesome right now, Kyle, just because we live with

1295
01:10:23,960 --> 01:10:26,799
Speaker 1: scar tissue and we are concerned about just about everything.

1296
01:10:26,840 --> 01:10:30,240
Speaker 1: This past week's game against the Falcons, Josh has his

1297
01:10:30,360 --> 01:10:34,360
Speaker 1: lowest passer rating of his career in a game seventeen,

1298
01:10:34,880 --> 01:10:38,439
Speaker 1: with three interceptions and four pass attempts. Now, granted, he

1299
01:10:38,439 --> 01:10:40,280
Speaker 1: helps the team with his legs, runs for a couple

1300
01:10:40,320 --> 01:10:43,280
Speaker 1: of touchdowns, finds a way to help this team despite

1301
01:10:43,760 --> 01:10:46,799
Speaker 1: having three turnovers and a fumble on a punt return,

1302
01:10:47,320 --> 01:10:50,599
Speaker 1: essentially four turnovers and twelve points against. As a result,

1303
01:10:50,600 --> 01:10:55,080
Speaker 1: they still win by fourteen. Is that a good thing?

1304
01:10:55,560 --> 01:10:59,479
Speaker 1: Or is that variance in play where Josh arguably plays

1305
01:10:59,520 --> 01:11:01,320
Speaker 1: his best start to finish game of the year against

1306
01:11:01,320 --> 01:11:05,760
Speaker 1: the Patriots followed by this one? Is that a concern?

1307
01:11:06,000 --> 01:11:08,760
Speaker 1: Or should it be this late in the season as

1308
01:11:08,760 --> 01:11:12,880
Speaker 1: this team prepares for the playoffs. It's a philosophical way

1309
01:11:12,920 --> 01:11:15,679
Speaker 1: of looking at it. We've talked for three years about

1310
01:11:15,680 --> 01:11:17,360
Speaker 1: the sugar Hi Josh. I don't know how he gets

1311
01:11:17,360 --> 01:11:20,519
Speaker 1: excited and make some mistakes. I can't sit here and

1312
01:11:20,640 --> 01:11:23,559
Speaker 1: say how he played in the biggest game of his life,

1313
01:11:24,160 --> 01:11:26,599
Speaker 1: in the biggest regular season game of his life. Maybe

1314
01:11:26,960 --> 01:11:30,000
Speaker 1: at New England was amazing, the second half at Tampa

1315
01:11:30,120 --> 01:11:34,719
Speaker 1: was amazing, and played a sloppy game at home against

1316
01:11:34,720 --> 01:11:37,400
Speaker 1: the who cares Falcons in a very flat vibe like

1317
01:11:37,800 --> 01:11:39,760
Speaker 1: I'm I'm not actually going to cast a whole bunch

1318
01:11:39,760 --> 01:11:41,880
Speaker 1: of judgment on that. I knew that turnovers were there,

1319
01:11:42,200 --> 01:11:45,160
Speaker 1: and I know he had a red zone turnover. He

1320
01:11:45,280 --> 01:11:47,439
Speaker 1: was so good for a couple of weeks, and if

1321
01:11:47,439 --> 01:11:49,519
Speaker 1: he had done a game like that against New England,

1322
01:11:49,560 --> 01:11:52,880
Speaker 1: or if he had done it against the Buccaneers fine Atlanta,

1323
01:11:53,160 --> 01:11:55,840
Speaker 1: I don't know's I'm not gonna pass a lot of

1324
01:11:55,920 --> 01:11:57,839
Speaker 1: judgment of how he played in that game. It's always

1325
01:11:57,840 --> 01:12:00,160
Speaker 1: the concern a little bit, but I really do you

1326
01:12:00,160 --> 01:12:01,960
Speaker 1: feel like he's matured? And I just don't see him

1327
01:12:01,960 --> 01:12:04,240
Speaker 1: having a playoff game like that. That's all anybody cares about. Yeah,

1328
01:12:04,240 --> 01:12:06,800
Speaker 1: I mean he does rise to the occasion. The higher

1329
01:12:06,840 --> 01:12:10,200
Speaker 1: the stakes usually the better he plays. I just wanted

1330
01:12:10,200 --> 01:12:11,880
Speaker 1: to throw that out there to see if it's something

1331
01:12:11,920 --> 01:12:14,920
Speaker 1: that you got. Is we don't have We don't have

1332
01:12:15,000 --> 01:12:18,479
Speaker 1: the objective viewpoint. It's Bill's myopia year. So we need

1333
01:12:18,560 --> 01:12:20,760
Speaker 1: to consult people like you for these answers. Kyle, do

1334
01:12:20,800 --> 01:12:22,559
Speaker 1: you have any I don't know. This is I don't

1335
01:12:22,600 --> 01:12:23,920
Speaker 1: want to come out of left field. Do you have

1336
01:12:23,960 --> 01:12:26,439
Speaker 1: any New Year's resolutions that you're thinking about or you've

1337
01:12:26,439 --> 01:12:29,559
Speaker 1: already cost you know, kick to the curb like I had.

1338
01:12:29,640 --> 01:12:32,639
Speaker 1: Oh man, Yeah, you know mine typically most of mine,

1339
01:12:32,720 --> 01:12:36,320
Speaker 1: Steve and they fall under the parenting umbrella. But it's

1340
01:12:36,320 --> 01:12:39,439
Speaker 1: just it's it's to try to be on the phone less.

1341
01:12:39,439 --> 01:12:41,679
Speaker 1: Like everybody's got a certain degree of self on addiction.

1342
01:12:41,720 --> 01:12:43,800
Speaker 1: Mine's getting out of control and like some sort of

1343
01:12:43,840 --> 01:12:45,760
Speaker 1: fiend for the thing. I can't tell you how many

1344
01:12:45,800 --> 01:12:47,640
Speaker 1: conversations I had in twenty twenty one with my kid

1345
01:12:47,720 --> 01:12:49,840
Speaker 1: while I'm looking at the phone and they're talking to me.

1346
01:12:50,160 --> 01:12:52,280
Speaker 1: So I'm trying to put it down. And here's the test.

1347
01:12:52,320 --> 01:12:54,479
Speaker 1: Here's how you know your real sell phone addict. And

1348
01:12:54,640 --> 01:12:56,760
Speaker 1: you guys, let me know if you do this. Yeah,

1349
01:12:56,800 --> 01:12:59,240
Speaker 1: you go to sleep at night, and let's say you

1350
01:12:59,240 --> 01:13:00,800
Speaker 1: got to get up at you know, one thirty in

1351
01:13:00,840 --> 01:13:02,920
Speaker 1: the morning to go to the bathroom. You go to

1352
01:13:02,960 --> 01:13:04,680
Speaker 1: the bathroom. When you get up and go to the

1353
01:13:04,680 --> 01:13:07,000
Speaker 1: bathroom in the dark. Do you check your phone in

1354
01:13:07,040 --> 01:13:09,120
Speaker 1: the middle of the night. I was checking it for

1355
01:13:09,160 --> 01:13:11,360
Speaker 1: a while and I felt like an absolute savage. So

1356
01:13:11,360 --> 01:13:13,840
Speaker 1: that's step one, all right, Yeah, yeah, that's right for me.

1357
01:13:13,960 --> 01:13:17,439
Speaker 1: I'll actually get I'm at a really nice place in

1358
01:13:17,479 --> 01:13:20,680
Speaker 1: my life now where I'm almost sixty and after you know,

1359
01:13:20,880 --> 01:13:23,080
Speaker 1: a nice long career in the NFL and you know,

1360
01:13:23,400 --> 01:13:26,120
Speaker 1: my share of concussions. There are times when I forget

1361
01:13:26,200 --> 01:13:28,840
Speaker 1: that I actually own a phone. We'll walk off without it,

1362
01:13:28,880 --> 01:13:30,559
Speaker 1: and so I think it's an actually a good thing

1363
01:13:30,600 --> 01:13:32,960
Speaker 1: to me. It's a great side effect of being old

1364
01:13:33,000 --> 01:13:39,640
Speaker 1: and c nine. I've walked that. I've walked off and

1365
01:13:39,760 --> 01:13:42,880
Speaker 1: left my phone somewhere in my house without having it

1366
01:13:43,240 --> 01:13:45,920
Speaker 1: for like an hour and forgot I, you know, should

1367
01:13:45,920 --> 01:13:48,559
Speaker 1: have it with me. So it's I'm actually getting a

1368
01:13:48,640 --> 01:13:50,720
Speaker 1: nice side effect. Kyle. We want to finish with this

1369
01:13:50,880 --> 01:13:53,639
Speaker 1: because to me, this falls into your line of humor,

1370
01:13:53,680 --> 01:13:56,120
Speaker 1: and you have good humor on the show obviously every week.

1371
01:13:56,680 --> 01:14:00,200
Speaker 1: So we had Lee Smith on last week and there

1372
01:14:00,240 --> 01:14:04,920
Speaker 1: was a jersey swap argument between Dawson Knox and John Feliciano,

1373
01:14:04,960 --> 01:14:06,960
Speaker 1: two of his closest teammates when he was here with

1374
01:14:07,000 --> 01:14:10,000
Speaker 1: the Bills. Obviously now with the Falcons coming back, and

1375
01:14:10,200 --> 01:14:13,360
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox got first dibbs on doing the jersey swap

1376
01:14:13,360 --> 01:14:15,880
Speaker 1: with him at the end of the game. So Lee Smith,

1377
01:14:15,920 --> 01:14:19,520
Speaker 1: in his generous way, decided he would accommodate John Feliciano

1378
01:14:19,880 --> 01:14:23,400
Speaker 1: by signing his jock strap for him, and apparently he

1379
01:14:23,520 --> 01:14:26,439
Speaker 1: felt it necessary to tweet it out after mentioning it

1380
01:14:26,520 --> 01:14:31,040
Speaker 1: here on one Bills Live. How out of the realm

1381
01:14:32,080 --> 01:14:35,000
Speaker 1: of kouthness is this do you think? Or is this

1382
01:14:35,040 --> 01:14:40,280
Speaker 1: football players being football players? It's not terribly koothy real

1383
01:14:40,479 --> 01:14:43,400
Speaker 1: the real outside the realm landing spot, Brownie would be.

1384
01:14:43,640 --> 01:14:45,920
Speaker 1: As you know, a lot of these players, once they

1385
01:14:45,960 --> 01:14:48,920
Speaker 1: get the jersey signed, they then take it to their

1386
01:14:48,920 --> 01:14:51,120
Speaker 1: home office and frame it and bring him up into

1387
01:14:51,200 --> 01:14:54,840
Speaker 1: the wall. Will there be a framed jock strap that

1388
01:14:55,080 --> 01:14:57,559
Speaker 1: is like over his souldier for future interviews? Because I

1389
01:14:57,600 --> 01:15:00,559
Speaker 1: have to say it, couldn't it have been the pants

1390
01:15:01,000 --> 01:15:06,080
Speaker 1: or the socks or the gloves. That's not least smooth. Now,

1391
01:15:06,479 --> 01:15:08,679
Speaker 1: the guys who play the old line, the d line,

1392
01:15:08,840 --> 01:15:11,639
Speaker 1: whether it be at the peewee level or Hall of Famers,

1393
01:15:11,880 --> 01:15:14,200
Speaker 1: are some of the most physically vile people I've ever

1394
01:15:14,240 --> 01:15:16,599
Speaker 1: come across, and they just indulge in that stuff. So

1395
01:15:16,800 --> 01:15:20,880
Speaker 1: they just love any kind of bodily function, any kind

1396
01:15:20,920 --> 01:15:23,360
Speaker 1: of reference like that. So and for you and me

1397
01:15:23,840 --> 01:15:28,040
Speaker 1: wildly uncouth, for the big men just just pretty much couth.

1398
01:15:28,320 --> 01:15:30,760
Speaker 1: It is. It is a savage kingdom in there, no

1399
01:15:30,880 --> 01:15:33,360
Speaker 1: question about it. I will say this, the great comeback

1400
01:15:33,360 --> 01:15:36,800
Speaker 1: of all time was John Feliciano, upon getting the said

1401
01:15:36,840 --> 01:15:40,440
Speaker 1: gift that we said, said he thought that the jockstrap

1402
01:15:40,479 --> 01:15:45,200
Speaker 1: would be bigger, um so perfect. Yeah right, I thought

1403
01:15:46,640 --> 01:15:49,519
Speaker 1: a whole savage comeback on a on a was great,

1404
01:15:49,760 --> 01:15:53,800
Speaker 1: great gift. So there you go, Kyle, Thanks as always. Uh,

1405
01:15:53,840 --> 01:15:55,679
Speaker 1: we're not even going to ask you for a score

1406
01:15:55,680 --> 01:15:58,519
Speaker 1: prediction for Bill's Jets. I mean, the game means something

1407
01:15:58,520 --> 01:16:01,320
Speaker 1: because the division titles on the line, but we're confident

1408
01:16:01,360 --> 01:16:03,040
Speaker 1: in the Bills taking care of business. I take it

1409
01:16:03,040 --> 01:16:05,120
Speaker 1: you are. I remember last time around, Brownie, it was you.

1410
01:16:05,600 --> 01:16:07,920
Speaker 1: I remember. I remember the Jets. I always playing the

1411
01:16:07,960 --> 01:16:10,280
Speaker 1: Bills tough, and then they went by like four touchdowns,

1412
01:16:10,360 --> 01:16:12,720
Speaker 1: So I think we're over that. Then, to your point,

1413
01:16:12,720 --> 01:16:14,320
Speaker 1: even though you didn't ask for it, I'm gonna give

1414
01:16:14,320 --> 01:16:18,800
Speaker 1: you thirty seven to thirteen for the Buffalo Bills, and

1415
01:16:19,040 --> 01:16:21,200
Speaker 1: the Bills fans are helping me with myself on addiction,

1416
01:16:21,200 --> 01:16:23,320
Speaker 1: because I don't check anymore, because all it is is

1417
01:16:23,360 --> 01:16:25,920
Speaker 1: them threatening me for not giving motor singles. Well, we'll

1418
01:16:25,920 --> 01:16:27,400
Speaker 1: see if we can. We'll see if we can get

1419
01:16:27,400 --> 01:16:29,240
Speaker 1: to work and tamp that down for you a little bit.

1420
01:16:29,920 --> 01:16:33,559
Speaker 1: And and yes, stro guys didn't pay the bill. Gotta

1421
01:16:33,600 --> 01:16:41,320
Speaker 1: go here, Kyle, thanks, that's outstand. I love it. You

1422
01:16:41,520 --> 01:16:43,880
Speaker 1: gotta pay the bill. Gotta go like love the Strobe

1423
01:16:43,920 --> 01:16:46,400
Speaker 1: light effect. That was fantas great. Something happened in his

1424
01:16:46,439 --> 01:16:50,120
Speaker 1: house thirty seven thirteen over the Jets is his prediction.

1425
01:16:50,160 --> 01:16:53,160
Speaker 1: In case you missed it, we will What was his prediction?

1426
01:16:53,240 --> 01:16:57,200
Speaker 1: Bills falcons Uh, he had the Bills winning. I'm not

1427

Speaker 1: gonna remember. I'm not gonna remember it's Yeah. That'll give

1428
01:17:01,160 --> 01:17:02,559
Speaker 1: you an idea of how important it is that we

1429
01:17:02,640 --> 01:17:06,400
Speaker 1: all get our prognostications in just in case. So break

1430
01:17:06,439 --> 01:17:08,719
Speaker 1: time for us here when we come back, your thoughts

1431
01:17:08,720 --> 01:17:12,760
Speaker 1: on the tweet sheet, your ideal wildcard playoff matchup for

1432
01:17:12,800 --> 01:17:15,439
Speaker 1: the Bills based on the candidates that are sitting out

1433
01:17:15,439 --> 01:17:18,559
Speaker 1: there that could be the possible opponent in wild Card

1434
01:17:18,600 --> 01:17:21,160
Speaker 1: weekend for Buffalo. We'll get to those next Here on

1435
01:17:21,160 --> 01:17:23,400
Speaker 1: one Bills Live presented by Collot of health. It's Buffalo

1436
01:17:23,400 --> 01:17:36,519
Speaker 1: Bills Radio. All Right, welcome back to One Bills Live.

1437
01:17:36,600 --> 01:17:39,280
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve Chasker Lived. You want to get some

1438
01:17:39,360 --> 01:17:41,240
Speaker 1: of your thoughts on the tweet sheet as to your

1439
01:17:41,360 --> 01:17:45,920
Speaker 1: version of the best ideal playoff opponent. But before we

1440
01:17:45,960 --> 01:17:50,080
Speaker 1: do that, we remind you that it's time for reads Milestones,

1441
01:17:50,160 --> 01:17:52,040
Speaker 1: brought to you by Red's Gen's the official jeweler of

1442
01:17:52,040 --> 01:17:55,080
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. With six rushing touchdowns this season, Josh

1443
01:17:55,080 --> 01:17:57,720
Speaker 1: Allen became the first QB in NFL history to have

1444
01:17:57,800 --> 01:18:02,080
Speaker 1: six or more rushing tds in each of his four

1445
01:18:02,640 --> 01:18:06,880
Speaker 1: consecutive seasons in the league. So we knew he could

1446
01:18:06,880 --> 01:18:10,240
Speaker 1: do it. He's doing it again, no surprise. He's a

1447
01:18:10,240 --> 01:18:14,879
Speaker 1: red zone demon for sure. I believe if I remember

1448
01:18:14,960 --> 01:18:18,240
Speaker 1: looking through the stats this week, he may now be

1449
01:18:19,160 --> 01:18:24,240
Speaker 1: the number one quarterback in fourth quarter quarterback rating. He's

1450
01:18:24,280 --> 01:18:26,080
Speaker 1: been up near the top for most of the season.

1451
01:18:26,760 --> 01:18:28,880
Speaker 1: I think he vaulted himself to the top of the list.

1452
01:18:29,479 --> 01:18:32,880
Speaker 1: I still believe he's got no turnovers in the fourth

1453
01:18:32,960 --> 01:18:37,400
Speaker 1: quarter this season. Ah, he's second to Matthew Stafford first

1454
01:18:37,400 --> 01:18:40,760
Speaker 1: in the AFC. Yeah, the offense is playing really well.

1455
01:18:40,760 --> 01:18:42,280
Speaker 1: I think they're number one with twenty eight and a

1456
01:18:42,280 --> 01:18:44,599
Speaker 1: half points a game. They're a third in the league

1457
01:18:44,640 --> 01:18:46,439
Speaker 1: and score third in the league. Yeah, they're first in

1458
01:18:46,439 --> 01:18:51,519
Speaker 1: the AFC. A lot of stuff's going on. Their defense

1459
01:18:51,680 --> 01:18:55,479
Speaker 1: is oh my gosh. It's second in points per game,

1460
01:18:55,640 --> 01:18:58,679
Speaker 1: first in total yards per game, first in yards per

1461
01:18:58,760 --> 01:19:02,519
Speaker 1: play for first in passing yards per game, first in

1462
01:19:02,680 --> 01:19:09,040
Speaker 1: yards per pass attempt, first in opponent's completion percentage, first

1463
01:19:09,080 --> 01:19:13,479
Speaker 1: in a PA and opponent's passer rating. First in h

1464
01:19:13,880 --> 01:19:18,679
Speaker 1: with only eleven TD passes allowed, first in first downs

1465
01:19:18,720 --> 01:19:20,800
Speaker 1: allowed per game. Yeah, that would be a team record,

1466
01:19:20,840 --> 01:19:22,559
Speaker 1: by the way, if they can finish the season with

1467
01:19:22,680 --> 01:19:27,040
Speaker 1: eleven passing touchdowns allowed. Yeah, that's with Tradevious White missing

1468
01:19:27,040 --> 01:19:29,559
Speaker 1: the last four or five games. Yeah. That they Their

1469
01:19:29,600 --> 01:19:31,400
Speaker 1: defense is playing well. And we always you know, we

1470
01:19:31,479 --> 01:19:35,320
Speaker 1: take it happened yesterday, Um you take we take calls

1471
01:19:35,360 --> 01:19:37,840
Speaker 1: all the time. They're talking about, you know, they about

1472
01:19:37,880 --> 01:19:39,519
Speaker 1: how they don't have a pass and they're they're like

1473
01:19:39,560 --> 01:19:41,800
Speaker 1: seventeenth in the league and passed in sacks or something.

1474
01:19:41,800 --> 01:19:44,000
Speaker 1: They only have thirty three sacks on the on the year,

1475
01:19:44,280 --> 01:19:49,080
Speaker 1: which is less than what to a game. But their

1476
01:19:49,200 --> 01:19:52,280
Speaker 1: number one in all points per game. They're they're not

1477
01:19:52,360 --> 01:19:55,799
Speaker 1: as remarkable that they're number one in pass defense despite

1478
01:19:55,840 --> 01:19:58,240
Speaker 1: not having a top flight pass rush. I mean, that's

1479
01:19:58,280 --> 01:20:03,920
Speaker 1: amazing to me and resolutely amazing. And Tremaine Edmonds takes

1480
01:20:03,920 --> 01:20:06,960
Speaker 1: a lot of flak from Bill's fans about how he plays,

1481
01:20:07,000 --> 01:20:11,479
Speaker 1: and he's he's in the middle of this defense leading tackler. Again,

1482
01:20:11,640 --> 01:20:15,080
Speaker 1: he's the middle of the defense. Um, and I just

1483
01:20:15,360 --> 01:20:20,840
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's amazing. This defense is as good

1484
01:20:20,880 --> 01:20:23,400
Speaker 1: as any in the league, better than most of them.

1485
01:20:23,520 --> 01:20:26,320
Speaker 1: Number one in the league. And last year we saw

1486
01:20:27,080 --> 01:20:31,280
Speaker 1: Brian Dable win Assistant Coach of the Year. I think

1487
01:20:31,400 --> 01:20:33,720
Speaker 1: Leslie Fraser could win Assistant Coach of the Year this year.

1488
01:20:34,040 --> 01:20:38,799
Speaker 1: They might. But this, yeah, it's it's it's been amazing

1489
01:20:38,920 --> 01:20:43,519
Speaker 1: this defense with with zero stars on it. I mean,

1490
01:20:43,520 --> 01:20:46,080
Speaker 1: you have no superstars on this defense. Davious White, it's

1491
01:20:46,120 --> 01:20:48,400
Speaker 1: not playing. They are truly as some of their parts

1492
01:20:48,400 --> 01:20:52,519
Speaker 1: defense right, unbelievable. It's a complete, no name bunch of deal.

1493
01:20:52,560 --> 01:20:54,840
Speaker 1: I mean, look at they got. Tremaine is like a

1494
01:20:54,920 --> 01:21:00,760
Speaker 1: second team pro bowler. I mean that's it. And they're

1495
01:21:00,920 --> 01:21:03,160
Speaker 1: number one in the league. I'll still maintain player should

1496
01:21:03,160 --> 01:21:05,479
Speaker 1: have gone to the profoule, of course a joke, but

1497
01:21:05,640 --> 01:21:08,679
Speaker 1: still and they'll have and they've got and they're getting contributed.

1498
01:21:08,760 --> 01:21:10,400
Speaker 1: You say they're the eleven guys on the field, there

1499
01:21:10,400 --> 01:21:12,799
Speaker 1: are some of their parts. There's like twenty guys rotating

1500
01:21:12,840 --> 01:21:17,879
Speaker 1: on this defense. Yeah, like twenty, like eight defensive linemen

1501
01:21:19,960 --> 01:21:23,840
Speaker 1: and what it's just it's some different dbs through. If

1502
01:21:23,880 --> 01:21:26,000
Speaker 1: you know there's a heavy personnel groups, arand Neil will

1503
01:21:26,000 --> 01:21:28,000
Speaker 1: come out on the field, sometimes a J. Klein if

1504
01:21:28,000 --> 01:21:33,240
Speaker 1: it's a heavy run thing. So yeah, it's tarn Johnson

1505
01:21:33,360 --> 01:21:35,360
Speaker 1: is probably as good as slot corners you're gonna find

1506
01:21:35,360 --> 01:21:38,360
Speaker 1: in the league anywhere. Um, it just kudos to the

1507
01:21:38,400 --> 01:21:40,720
Speaker 1: defense and the way they're playing and how they've put

1508
01:21:40,760 --> 01:21:43,880
Speaker 1: it together. They pitched an entire shutout in the second

1509
01:21:43,920 --> 01:21:46,599
Speaker 1: half of the game against the Falcons. They they gave

1510
01:21:46,680 --> 01:21:50,320
Speaker 1: up two touchdowns because well no, they gave up yeah,

1511
01:21:50,400 --> 01:21:53,960
Speaker 1: touchdown and a safety. Two touchdowns and a safety that

1512
01:21:53,960 --> 01:21:56,479
Speaker 1: they didn't give up. Um gave up a field goal

1513
01:21:56,520 --> 01:21:58,200
Speaker 1: to the Bucks in the second half of that game,

1514
01:21:58,400 --> 01:22:03,080
Speaker 1: right it was. So they're just playing really well and

1515
01:22:04,520 --> 01:22:07,439
Speaker 1: they're difference makers. They're difference makers. So this is a

1516
01:22:07,479 --> 01:22:10,640
Speaker 1: team right now in Buffalo that if if they hit

1517
01:22:10,720 --> 01:22:13,599
Speaker 1: on all cylinders, they are the best team in football.

1518
01:22:13,600 --> 01:22:17,479
Speaker 1: Like Kyle Brandt has asserted to the Chiefs radio, um,

1519
01:22:18,439 --> 01:22:20,439
Speaker 1: they have got it going on when they but you know,

1520
01:22:20,640 --> 01:22:24,360
Speaker 1: putting it all together seems to be the difficult part.

1521
01:22:24,720 --> 01:22:27,920
Speaker 1: Now they haven't played You could argue they haven't played

1522
01:22:27,960 --> 01:22:31,440
Speaker 1: their best games start to finish yet. The second Patriots

1523
01:22:31,439 --> 01:22:34,719
Speaker 1: matchup is probably a good example, maybe their best example,

1524
01:22:34,720 --> 01:22:37,000
Speaker 1: and maybe the Chiefs game Chiefs first, because they're probably

1525
01:22:37,040 --> 01:22:43,360
Speaker 1: their two best start to finish three phase performances this season.

1526
01:22:43,400 --> 01:22:47,040
Speaker 1: Wouldn't you say Chiefs and second game. I'm not I'm

1527
01:22:47,080 --> 01:22:50,559
Speaker 1: not just trying to talk junk, but I'll say this.

1528
01:22:50,720 --> 01:22:53,639
Speaker 1: I thought the first game against Tennessee when they lost

1529
01:22:53,640 --> 01:22:57,280
Speaker 1: thirty one thirty four, scored thirty thirty one thirty four,

1530
01:22:57,280 --> 01:23:01,800
Speaker 1: they lost, and you know that, you know, that was

1531
01:23:01,840 --> 01:23:04,240
Speaker 1: a pretty good football game against a team that's really

1532
01:23:04,280 --> 01:23:07,080
Speaker 1: playing well offensively at that point, with Derrick Henry playing

1533
01:23:07,120 --> 01:23:13,280
Speaker 1: and all that. So I'm yeah, they've even in losses,

1534
01:23:14,280 --> 01:23:19,240
Speaker 1: they're really tough, really tough, and so I you know

1535
01:23:19,320 --> 01:23:22,719
Speaker 1: they if this team can put it together and play

1536
01:23:22,800 --> 01:23:24,599
Speaker 1: well on both sides, they'll play their best on both

1537
01:23:24,600 --> 01:23:28,200
Speaker 1: sides of the ball. There's no doubt their championship caliber team,

1538
01:23:29,080 --> 01:23:33,080
Speaker 1: but they're they're inconsistency and their inability to do that

1539
01:23:33,120 --> 01:23:36,479
Speaker 1: week to week has been the problem. Which team is

1540
01:23:36,479 --> 01:23:39,280
Speaker 1: the ideal wildcard matchup for the Bills and why? To

1541
01:23:39,320 --> 01:23:41,599
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet we go, where Dean says the Raiders

1542
01:23:41,640 --> 01:23:43,680
Speaker 1: for sure would be the ideal matchup. I know the

1543
01:23:43,720 --> 01:23:45,519
Speaker 1: Bills are a better team, and they have been even

1544
01:23:45,600 --> 01:23:48,960
Speaker 1: more inconsistent than the Bills. Nobody on their roster scares

1545
01:23:49,040 --> 01:23:51,920
Speaker 1: me other than Max Crosby, who was their primary pass rusher.

1546
01:23:52,760 --> 01:23:56,479
Speaker 1: Jay Lish says Patriots, because knocking them out of the

1547
01:23:56,479 --> 01:24:00,439
Speaker 1: playoffs after winning the division would be poetic justice. So

1548
01:24:00,760 --> 01:24:03,360
Speaker 1: jay Lish has an AX to grind, Yeah, which would

1549
01:24:03,360 --> 01:24:07,479
Speaker 1: prompt the best fine. Dinah says it depends on how

1550
01:24:07,520 --> 01:24:09,840
Speaker 1: well they play. But going to say the Colts because

1551
01:24:09,840 --> 01:24:12,000
Speaker 1: I'd like a rematch against a team that beat us.

1552
01:24:12,640 --> 01:24:14,920
Speaker 1: Let's get some Bills fans with an AX to grind here,

1553
01:24:16,000 --> 01:24:18,200
Speaker 1: give me the page. It's that time of year, man,

1554
01:24:18,640 --> 01:24:22,240
Speaker 1: Let's get some revenge. Got past the holidays, and you know,

1555
01:24:22,760 --> 01:24:27,000
Speaker 1: being good to your good will towards that's out the

1556
01:24:27,040 --> 01:24:32,000
Speaker 1: window now. Yeah, Joe says, give me New England. If

1557
01:24:32,040 --> 01:24:33,840
Speaker 1: you want to be the best, you have to beat

1558
01:24:33,880 --> 01:24:36,400
Speaker 1: the best. New England has been a thorn in our

1559
01:24:36,439 --> 01:24:39,479
Speaker 1: side for the past ten or so years. Let's shut

1560
01:24:39,520 --> 01:24:41,439
Speaker 1: the New England fans up and go for it all.

1561
01:24:41,800 --> 01:24:46,280
Speaker 1: Buffalo versus Cincinnati in the AFC Championship Game. Buffalo wins

1562
01:24:46,280 --> 01:24:52,760
Speaker 1: at twenty seven seventeen. Go Bills. Joe's already got Bill says,

1563
01:24:52,800 --> 01:24:55,200
Speaker 1: I'm terrified to the Colts or the Chargers. Those would

1564
01:24:55,200 --> 01:24:57,200
Speaker 1: be tough to face any other team. I think Buffalo

1565
01:24:57,240 --> 01:25:01,120
Speaker 1: wins easy. John says, in my opinion, we're the best

1566
01:25:01,120 --> 01:25:02,960
Speaker 1: team in the AFC. I don't care who we play

1567
01:25:03,400 --> 01:25:06,400
Speaker 1: and the court Jester says Raiders are Chargers because they'd

1568
01:25:06,400 --> 01:25:10,360
Speaker 1: have to travel the farthest. Assuming the Bills handle the Jets,

1569
01:25:10,640 --> 01:25:15,440
Speaker 1: is there any team that you know? The Chiefs, the Titans,

1570
01:25:16,080 --> 01:25:19,640
Speaker 1: and the Bengals are off the table if the Bills win. Now,

1571
01:25:19,640 --> 01:25:21,800
Speaker 1: if the Bills lose, the odds are very strong that

1572
01:25:21,800 --> 01:25:24,320
Speaker 1: they're going to Kansas City Wildcard round, which is really

1573
01:25:24,360 --> 01:25:27,880
Speaker 1: not what you want in the first round. So let's

1574
01:25:27,880 --> 01:25:32,000
Speaker 1: assume they beat the Jets win the division. Besides those

1575
01:25:32,040 --> 01:25:35,040
Speaker 1: other three teams, the other division winners Kansas City, Tennessee

1576
01:25:35,040 --> 01:25:39,240
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati. Is there another team that puts any degree

1577
01:25:39,240 --> 01:25:41,160
Speaker 1: of fear in you as far as the matchup with

1578
01:25:41,200 --> 01:25:45,400
Speaker 1: Buffalo is concerned, any of those other six teams? Well,

1579
01:25:45,439 --> 01:25:48,040
Speaker 1: I think if the only one that does give me

1580
01:25:48,520 --> 01:25:51,479
Speaker 1: some concern is Indianapolis because of their ability to run

1581
01:25:51,479 --> 01:25:53,639
Speaker 1: the football. And we don't know what kind of conditions

1582
01:25:53,680 --> 01:25:57,599
Speaker 1: you're going to get here on that day. Like I said,

1583
01:25:57,600 --> 01:25:59,200
Speaker 1: and I'll say this again, I kind of wish if

1584
01:25:59,360 --> 01:26:01,799
Speaker 1: if we get Indianapolis in the first round of the playoffs,

1585
01:26:01,840 --> 01:26:04,400
Speaker 1: let's just let's say, hey, can we play to your place? Yeah?

1586
01:26:05,439 --> 01:26:11,480
Speaker 1: In perfect conditions, I'll just say this outright, In perfect conditions,

1587
01:26:12,400 --> 01:26:19,360
Speaker 1: nobody Nobody hangs with the Bills. Nobody, not Chiefs, nobody,

1588
01:26:19,520 --> 01:26:24,400
Speaker 1: not even the Packers. Nobody Why the defense is too

1589
01:26:24,400 --> 01:26:26,200
Speaker 1: good and the offense is too good. They got too

1590
01:26:26,200 --> 01:26:28,519
Speaker 1: many guys, they got too much going on, They're too

1591
01:26:28,520 --> 01:26:31,679
Speaker 1: good all over the play Nobody hangs with them under

1592
01:26:31,680 --> 01:26:35,200
Speaker 1: perfect conditions. The problem is they're playing in Buffalo for

1593
01:26:35,240 --> 01:26:37,200
Speaker 1: a couple of these games. Yeah, I'm telling you right,

1594
01:26:37,439 --> 01:26:40,760
Speaker 1: And that's that's my pronouncement of the day. If under

1595
01:26:40,800 --> 01:26:44,599
Speaker 1: perfect conditions weather and all of that health and everything.

1596
01:26:45,120 --> 01:26:48,519
Speaker 1: Nobody hangs with the Bills. They're too good, they score

1597
01:26:48,560 --> 01:26:50,720
Speaker 1: too much, and their defense is too hard to move

1598
01:26:50,760 --> 01:26:53,719
Speaker 1: the football on. And we already know the NFC playoffs

1599
01:26:53,720 --> 01:26:56,800
Speaker 1: are going through Green Bay, so whether it will be

1600
01:26:56,800 --> 01:26:59,360
Speaker 1: a factor on that side of the ledger as well,

1601
01:26:59,479 --> 01:27:02,000
Speaker 1: presumable break. Time for us here, Steve and I to

1602
01:27:02,040 --> 01:27:04,040
Speaker 1: close things up next on one Bill's Line presented by

1612
01:27:45,000 --> 01:27:48,559
Speaker 1: Don and Holland who wants to weigh in on the

1613
01:27:48,960 --> 01:27:52,559
Speaker 1: proposed tie scenario between the Raiders and Chargers that could

1614
01:27:52,680 --> 01:27:57,320
Speaker 1: unfold Sunday night. What do you have for us? John? Yeah? Hi?

1615
01:27:57,439 --> 01:27:59,240
Speaker 1: How are you doing us? First? Time I ever call.

1616
01:27:59,520 --> 01:28:03,720
Speaker 1: Thanks for it, Um. I heard you say that if

1617
01:28:03,760 --> 01:28:09,679
Speaker 1: the Chargers and Narrators tie, they'll both get into the playoffs. Well,

1618
01:28:09,720 --> 01:28:14,679
Speaker 1: I looked into the breakdown of scenarios for ties and

1619
01:28:14,920 --> 01:28:18,800
Speaker 1: there's like twelve different scenarios all the way down to

1620
01:28:18,880 --> 01:28:22,639
Speaker 1: a coin toss. So are you telling me they're tied?

1621
01:28:23,120 --> 01:28:26,160
Speaker 1: You're no. What we're what we're telling. What we're telling you, John,

1622
01:28:26,240 --> 01:28:29,479
Speaker 1: is this has to happen. The Steelers have to beat

1623
01:28:29,520 --> 01:28:32,760
Speaker 1: the Ravens. The Colts have to lose to the Jaguars,

1624
01:28:32,880 --> 01:28:36,519
Speaker 1: and in that scenario, if those two teams on Sunday

1625
01:28:36,600 --> 01:28:44,320
Speaker 1: Night football tie, they are both in the playoffs. All right, Well,

1626
01:28:44,360 --> 01:28:49,599
Speaker 1: according to what the NFL says, the break ties they

1627
01:28:49,680 --> 01:28:53,400
Speaker 1: have all those Yeah, we're not talking about tie. We're

1628
01:28:53,400 --> 01:28:55,559
Speaker 1: not talking about ties to get into the playoffs. Down,

1629
01:28:55,720 --> 01:28:58,040
Speaker 1: we're talking about the game ending in a tie on

1630
01:28:58,080 --> 01:29:02,479
Speaker 1: Sunday night. I understand that, But how do they get

1631
01:29:02,520 --> 01:29:05,560
Speaker 1: into the playoffs. They've got to choose one. No, no,

1632
01:29:05,640 --> 01:29:07,719
Speaker 1: they both would get in as the sixth and the seventh.

1633
01:29:07,720 --> 01:29:09,360
Speaker 1: One would get in as the sixth seed, the other

1634
01:29:09,360 --> 01:29:11,000
Speaker 1: would get in as the seventh seed, and then they

1635
01:29:11,000 --> 01:29:14,760
Speaker 1: would decide then which one was which, but they both get.

1636
01:29:15,000 --> 01:29:17,120
Speaker 1: The point is both of them get in the playoffs.

1637
01:29:17,600 --> 01:29:20,200
Speaker 1: So it's highly unlikely, but it's fun to think about.

1638
01:29:20,720 --> 01:29:22,640
Speaker 1: We'll see you tomorrow when we have Peter king on

1639
01:29:22,720 --> 01:29:28,960
Speaker 1: with us. We'll see it one
