1
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:10,640
Speaker 1: At a Steve Tester who has been all over the fields.

2
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:12,320
Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

3
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:18,759
Speaker 1: player for you, Steve, Steve a blimp. We're not even

4
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 1: in the stratosphere of normalcy. Welcome to One Bills Live

5
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 1: Tuesday edition as we start dissecting this matchup between the

6
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 1: Bills and the Ravens, which figures to be a step

7
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 1: up in weight class for the Bills and probably for

8
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:43,839
Speaker 1: that matter, for the for the Ravens in terms of

9
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,239
Speaker 1: who they're facing as well. It's not discount that, but

10
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:52,480
Speaker 1: a very seasoned, experienced playoff roster that John Harbaugh brings

11
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 1: to Buffalo this week. Been there, done that kind of thing,

12
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,319
Speaker 1: although they had early eggsits each of the last two

13
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: years from the playoffs. But with last week's win, Steve

14
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 1: jarn Harbaugh has tied the NFL record for most road

15
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:13,400
Speaker 1: playoff victories by an NFL head coach. The other two

16
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: names on that list Tom Coughlin and Tom Landry. That's

17
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 1: a pretty big step for a head coach in this

18
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 1: league with as much history as eight playoff wins on

19
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 1: the road. So he's got a chance to win. Take

20
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: the NFL. He does historical lead against our team. He does,

21
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: he does, and I don't want to see it. So

22
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:35,759
Speaker 1: either he's a great coach and has had some obviously,

23
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 1: he's won a world championship with that crew, and they

24
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: they were the number one seed last year, they're in

25
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 1: this year. They're playing well this year. I yeah, I

26
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: think you talk about stepping up in weight class. I

27
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 1: think both these clubs got into a good fist fight

28
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: in week one round. Yeah. Then with Tennessee and the Bills.

29
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: Of course with Indianapolis, Indianapolis played a fantastic game against

30
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 1: the Bills and they were they looked like an eleven

31
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: win twelve win team, so U and I would expect

32
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 1: too that the expectations for next year's Indianapolis team would

33
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: be elevated greatly. Yes, I would say that's true. Of course,

34
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 1: the quarterback situation has to get figured out. I know

35
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: Frank Reich did say he would like to have Philip

36
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 1: Rivers as his quarterback next year as well. He's got

37
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: I think he's got football left, don't you. Yeah, I

38
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 1: mean yeah, I don't know. The arms starting to go

39
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: on him, I think, and it was never super strong

40
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: to begin with, but yeah, I mean yard passing season

41
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: is nothing to sneeze at. I'll give you that twenty

42
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: four touchdown passes productive and with that running game, you

43
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: can win with that. I don't know if you're going

44
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: all the way with that, but you can win with that.

45
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 1: But uh, yeah, you know, this matchup I think has

46
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of areas where Bill's fans

47
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: are a little bit concerned about some of the matchups.

48
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 1: And it's part of how we constructed our Twitter poll

49
00:02:58,480 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: today and we'll get to that in a little bit.

50
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 1: There are some NFL news and notes regarding the head

51
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 1: coaching vacancies that exist. Obviously, a seventh one opened up yesterday,

52
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: as we reported here on the show yesterday, with the

53
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 1: Eagles parting ways with Doug Peterson. And so a word

54
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: came down today that the Eagles have requested permission to

55
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 1: interview Niners defensive coordinator Roberts Allah and he is already

56
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: going to New York to have a second interview with

57
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,079
Speaker 1: the Jets and this will be of a face to

58
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: face variety. So it looks like he's the early frontrunner

59
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: for the Jets job, although you know, nothing is going

60
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: to be formally offered as if yet we would think,

61
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: but knowing the Eagles are interested in speaking to him

62
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: as well. You wonder if that prompts the Jets if

63
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: they like what they hear in this second interview, they say, hey,

64
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: job's yours if you want it. The question is does

65
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: Roberts allow take it? Because he is still in the

66
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: running for the Detroit job. Now he's being has to

67
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: talk to the Eagles. There's probably a situation that you

68
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: like there better than the others. I don't know which

69
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: one he might think it is. I think it's going

70
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: to come down to each individual head coach in Canada

71
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: in which opportunity they like the best. And I've heard

72
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,280
Speaker 1: as well that most of these candidates look at the surrounding,

73
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 1: not just that. What they really look at is the

74
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 1: ownership group. How stable is it, how savvy are they,

75
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: how willing to give you what you want? Means a

76
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 1: lot to these guys. And also, aside from that, what's

77
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: the division look like going forward? Right? That's a big

78
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 1: thing you talk about trying to find a quality coach

79
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:41,720
Speaker 1: to come into the AFC East. Over the last twenty years,

80
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 1: it's like, you know what, I'd rather play in the West,

81
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: you know, or I'd rather play in the South. I

82
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:47,280
Speaker 1: don't know if I want to go in an NFC

83
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: North as long as Aaron Rodgers is still playing, but

84
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: well he's yeah, he's the thirteenth year though. Yeah, so

85
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 1: you gotta, and you gotta. Maybe the timing could be right.

86
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: By the time you've got that Detroit team up and

87
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: running the way you want it, they might be bidding

88
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: farewell to Aaron Rodgers. The spot is Atlanta with Brady

89
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: and Breeze and the game this weekend. The ages of

90
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: the two quarterbacks is eighty five combined by eighty five,

91
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 1: So you gotta think at some point those guys are

92
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: gonna get to the end of the rainbow, right, So

93
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:24,919
Speaker 1: you know that'll open that up for you if you

94
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: can go into the NFC South. You got Teddy Bridgewater,

95
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,160
Speaker 1: and you got Matt Ryan. If you're going to take

96
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: the Atlanta job, and you got and you got a

97
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: little bit of space there if you can find a

98
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: replacement for Matt Ryan while he's still taking snaps and

99
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 1: then make the transition that way or whatever, build your

100
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: program in a division that's gonna be a little bit

101
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 1: quarterback poor in a year or two two years anyway, right, Yeah,

102
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't debate that. Um. As we know,

103
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: Brian Dable is in the running four Jets and Chargers,

104
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,919
Speaker 1: He's done virtue rule interviews with both clubs. We learned

105
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 1: yesterday that Leslie Frasier has been requested by the Houston Texans,

106
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: whose new GM Nick Kissario is just hitting the ground

107
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 1: running now and trying to fill his head coaching vacancy.

108
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 1: And it doesn't Leslie Frasier spoke with the Buffalo media

109
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 1: yesterday and he was just made aware of the request

110
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: for permission to interview him yesterday afternoon. So that obviously

111
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,839
Speaker 1: has not taken place yet. I don't know when it

112
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:31,039
Speaker 1: takes place now though, because now you're you're getting into

113
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: I mean, yesterday was probably well, I know, but what

114
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: if the Texans don't want to wait that long? You

115
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Like you're racing six other teams

116
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: right now for people they probably figured that, well, they

117
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 1: knew what they were asking. Actually I don't think they

118
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:48,479
Speaker 1: can now they knew I'm going to check the rules,

119
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 1: but I don't think they can. I think they have

120
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 1: to wait till the weekend. Right then they know what

121
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: they're asking, they know what the schedule is. For these guys,

122
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: and they've got other guys they want our interview, So

123
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 1: they've got plenty of time to get some other interviews

124
00:06:57,800 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: done before Leslie Frasier comes through the door to do

125
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,160
Speaker 1: his interview. They know the parameters of guys they ask them.

126
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 1: You know, think about Eric bi enemy, he's in the

127
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,720
Speaker 1: same boat as well. Right, So, yeah, they can't interview

128
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: anybody again. Who's still January twenty fifth, who's still working?

129
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: You mean, yes, that's right. So virtual interviews with coaches

130
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: whose team won a wild card game can begin for

131
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: head coaching positions, oh, through the conclusion of the divisional

132
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 1: games on January seventeenth. So that would make it sound

133
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: as though anytime this week that you have free time,

134
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: you can do a virtual interview. Yeah. I don't know,

135
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: but I don't think that's wise to ask a team

136
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: to you know what I mean, you're not you're stepping

137
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 1: into the practice week now. Oh yeah, you can't. You can't.

138
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 1: But there's plenty of here. My point is this, you're

139
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 1: gonna if unless you want to have it done by

140
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: the weekend, which I doubt so you think they'll probably

141
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 1: do him on Sunday. Yeah, they'll get they got Robert

142
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: Sala flying across the country from the Niners. They got

143
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 1: all you know, all these right, they got these other candis.

144
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: Jim calledwell, Marvin Lewis, you know all these guys that

145
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 1: are out there that are that are in them in

146
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: the pool of names. Um, yeah, the only ones you're

147
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: talking about now. And even Arthur Smith is off the

148
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: hook now now he can fly and interview wherever he

149
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: wants because he too has been requested by the Eagles.

150
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: So um, and the now that there's openings, I think

151
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 1: you're right, it does sprinkle on a little bit of well,

152
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 1: now you know, we better get our guy because now

153
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: there's another team that may pluck our guy. But there's

154
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 1: also a new hand a candidate too. Doug Peterson got

155
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 1: dropped into the pool of names available and he's won

156
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: a world championship in the last five years, so that

157
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 1: may be somebody you want to Now you got another

158
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 1: named interview too. Caasel is spinning and another person just

159
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 1: got on the ride in both areas, in the pool

160
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 1: of coaching candidates and in the pool of teams looking

161
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,199
Speaker 1: for a coach right in the Eagles and Patterson. So

162
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 1: it's gonna spin even a little there's anybody, and I

163
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:10,679
Speaker 1: don't know that there is. I couldn't say that there is.

164
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: I kind of doubt it. But think about this that

165
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 1: you know, if there's anybody on that's Eagle staff, correct,

166
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 1: they're also in the pool now right. So there is

167
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 1: some Bills news is as well. We learned from coach

168
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 1: McDermott late yesterday afternoon that Zach Moss will not play

169
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:33,959
Speaker 1: this week and we'll miss Saturday's game against the Ravens.

170
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: And there are also reports out there that veteran running

171
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 1: back Davonta Freeman will be signed by the Bills to

172
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 1: be added to their practice squad. Obviously an insurance move.

173
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 1: You know, with Zach Moss down, all you need is

174
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,679
Speaker 1: one more injury and then suddenly you're scrambling for a

175
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 1: running back and you'd rather get a guy in sooner

176
00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: rather than later to at least learn the basics of

177
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: your system and assignments and whatnot. Was with the Giants

178
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 1: earlier this season, didn't finish the season with them. So

179
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 1: there's that, and it also begs the question who is

180
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 1: up on Saturday for the Bills at running back. I

181
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 1: know we briefly discussed this yesterday and coach McDermott actually

182
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,559
Speaker 1: had an interesting comment about Antonio Williams, which we'll get

183
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 1: to in a little bit here. But I think that

184
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 1: there is a real possibility that if Antonio Williams can

185
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 1: serve a role on special team, Steve, I think there's

186
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 1: a good chance that he and t J. Yelden might

187
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 1: be up with Devin Singletary. Maybe it's only two, maybe

188
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 1: it's Singletary and one other guy, but I think there's

189
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: at least the possibility that they may dress three. Well,

190
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 1: we have Taiwan Jones. Oh yes, I forgot about Taiwan

191
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 1: ro So it's probably only two and so, but yeah,

192
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 1: you're right, they go with two. They've done that all year,

193
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 1: except Taiwan. Taiwan's the emergency guy in the game. I

194
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,559
Speaker 1: thought about this yesterday, Steve, after you and I had

195
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: the discussion about the running backs on the air, and

196
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:15,439
Speaker 1: I was thinking to myself, Okay, who fits better against

197
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: the Baltimore defense? And I thought to myself, what is

198
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: the one thing that Buffalo's running back contingent lacks in

199
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 1: terms of who is on the active roster. And I

200
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 1: would say it's explosion. We don't the Bill's roster. The

201
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 1: fifty active roster does not have an explosive back per se.

202
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: Taiwan Jones has speed, doesn't have a great deal of size,

203
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 1: but he does have burst. So I guess he would

204
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 1: be the only guy you would point to and say, yeah,

205
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: there's burst into his game. But what Antonio Williams showed

206
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 1: in week seventeen, he absolutely has burst. Now, that could

207
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 1: be a byproduct of just having much fresher legs than

208
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:54,839
Speaker 1: the rest of the guys running around out there that

209
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: have played sixteen weeks. Don't discount that. But that's a thing.

210
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 1: It's some thing. It was something to behold. I mean,

211
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 1: it was readily apparent he was. There was a spring

212
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: in his step that wasn't in anybody else's. He was. Yeah,

213
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 1: he was playing in the super Bowl. Everybody else was

214
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 1: on a Wednesday practice, Yeah he was. Yeah, that's what

215
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: it looked like with with him. And I'll tell you

216
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: it's hard to do. They the guy jumped, there's no

217
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 1: question about it. And I wonder if he gets a chance.

218
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: This is a big spot to put an undrafted rookie in.

219
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 1: But yeah, but you've you've had four months to look

220
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 1: at him every day and watch him and get to

221
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:33,959
Speaker 1: know what kind of guy he is. And you saw

222
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 1: him in live action in the game that counted to

223
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 1: the team that you were playing. He got in second

224
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 1: half and was lumping people up. But you're right, Brownie,

225
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: none of the guys were talking about or home run hitters.

226
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: You know, they're not going to snap off the eighty

227
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: yard run and the defense doesn't have to think about it.

228
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: I think I'm more I'm more concerned about the level

229
00:12:56,559 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 1: of respect the Ravens entire, our defense has for any

230
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 1: of our running backs, you know, our running game in particular.

231
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 1: Are they gonna you know, what are they gonna think

232
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,439
Speaker 1: about our running game? I certainly they They've got a

233
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 1: great deal of respect for josh Adden and these receivers. Yeah,

234
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 1: what's that gonna look like when they defend the run? Um,

235
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,680
Speaker 1: That's that's the real question. Are they gonna, you know,

236
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 1: like the Colts didn't play two guys over the top

237
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:21,680
Speaker 1: all day? Or are they gonna come down play some

238
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 1: of the man like they did last year? And just

239
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 1: because this is we were talking about our Twitter poll,

240
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 1: which we haven't gotten to yet. But you look at

241
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 1: this Bills team and this Ravens team, The Ravens are

242
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 1: kind of who they were last year. They've They've evolved

243
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 1: a little bit, no question about it. There They've done

244
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 1: a lot more things with their offense a little bit, right,

245
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: But this Bills team couldn't be more different than where

246
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 1: they were Week fourteen last year. They could not be

247
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,679
Speaker 1: more different. They had they had a top flight, elite

248
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: defense and an offense it was just kind of trying

249
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 1: to keep their head above water. And I went back

250
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:54,679
Speaker 1: and looked at some of that game from last year.

251
00:13:56,200 --> 00:14:00,959
Speaker 1: It's unrecognizable. It's unrecognizable. You think, is what seventeen to

252
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,719
Speaker 1: thirty nine? Yeah, what the Baltimore Ravens are doing defensively

253
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 1: to the Bills. You're going, ooh, that's gonna cost him.

254
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 1: And he's like, oh no, wait, this is last year

255
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 1: the Bills had no answers. Now the Bills can start

256
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 1: to ask you the questions. You know. That's that's what

257
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 1: their their thing is on offense. It could not be

258
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: a different game, more different game than it was in

259
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 1: Week fourteen a last year. And the other thing too,

260
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: is and most fans that have kind of kept their

261
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 1: ear to the ground probably have heard this already that

262
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens blitz at the highest rate in football,

263
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 1: over forty five percent of the time forty five and

264
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 1: a half percent of the time they blitz, they send

265
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 1: an extra rusher. And they're also third in the league

266
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 1: in first down blitz percentage. They blitz almost forty percent

267
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 1: of the time on first down, which might be an

268
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 1: unheard of stat ten years ago. And obviously with more

269
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 1: teams throwing on first down now than maybe ever before,

270
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 1: and the Bills are one of the top teams in

271
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 1: the league throwing on first down, you can kind of

272
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 1: understand why Baltimore has such a high number even on

273
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 1: first down with their blitz rate, But it begs the question, Steve,

274
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: how much are they gonna blitz? Josh Allen, So I

275
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 1: did do a little homework this morning to try to

276
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 1: assess that. So I looked first, Steve at who has

277
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 1: Baltimore blitz the most during the course of their regular season? Okay,

278
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 1: so the top five two? Yeah, the top five quarterbacks

279
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 1: who were blitz the most. Okay, we'll start it by Baltimore,

280
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: by Baltimore. Okay, Number five Joe Burrow, Okay, he was

281
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 1: blitzed fifty three point four percent of his snaps and

282
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: they killed him seven sacks seventeen quarterback hits. That's number five.

283
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 1: That's number five in terms of blitz rate, not success rate,

284
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: blitz rate. Ravens won that game twenty seven to three.

285
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 1: Number four Carson Wentz. They blitzed him at a rate

286
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 1: of fifty four point three percent. They sacked him six

287
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 1: times seventeen quarterback hits. Ravens won only by two thirty

288
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 1: to twenty eight. Number three on the list, Ryan Tannehill.

289
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: They blitzed him fifty six percent at the time, only

290
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 1: got two sacks, seven quarterback hits, and as you know,

291
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 1: they lost that game to the Titans in overtime. In

292
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 1: the regular season. Number two on the list, Daniel Jones

293
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 1: of the Giants, blitzed fifty nine point six percent of

294
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 1: the snaps. They got six sacks and eleven quarterback hits

295
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 1: on him. The Ravens won twenty seven thirteen and number one.

296
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 1: The most blitzed quarterback by the Ravens this year on

297
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 1: their regular season schedule. I guess, let me get weight,

298
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go to the I'm gonna go. Okay, here

299
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 1: we go. Let's say to save this for the numbers

300
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 1: game for our one Bill's Life podcast. You're gonna guess

301
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 1: what do you what do you say, Ben Roethlisberger. It

302
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 1: was not Ben roethlis Wait give you one more wait? Wait? Oh?

303
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 1: Was it? Who did they play? They played Dallas? Was

304
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 1: it like the nineteenth guy that was at Andy Dalton?

305
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:20,159
Speaker 1: It was not Andy Dalton? Who was it? Was it

306
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys? It was not the Dallas Wait stop,

307
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 1: this is gonna It was the guy. It was the

308
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 1: guy in Jacksonville. It was whoever that was Gardnerber not

309
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:40,719
Speaker 1: Jackson cam Newton. They blitzed him. Are you ready for this?

310
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 1: Sixty eight point four percent of the snaps they blitzed him,

311
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 1: had just one sack and three quarterback hits on him, though,

312
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 1: and the Patriots, and the Patriots won the game twenty

313
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 1: three seventeen. Wow. So what I did. First thing I

314
00:17:57,920 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 1: did was I went and looked at what they did

315
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 1: against the Titan last week in comparison to the first time.

316
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:06,120
Speaker 1: And they backed off in the game last week. So

317
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,879
Speaker 1: in the regular season, they blitzed Tannehill fifty six percent

318
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 1: of the time, lost the game in overtime. Last week,

319
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 1: they blitzed Tannehill only thirty fIF seven percent of the time,

320
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,719
Speaker 1: one sack, five quarterback hits. As we know, the Ravens

321
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 1: won the game, but Tannehill had only one hundred and

322
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 1: sixty five yards passing, one touchdown, one interception, so probably good.

323
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 1: So then what I did, Steve, was I said, Okay,

324
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 1: those are the quarterbacks they blitzed the most. Let's see

325
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 1: what quarterbacks who are comparable in skill set to Josh Allen.

326
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,399
Speaker 1: What did they do against those kinds of quarterbacks? What

327
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 1: did Baltimore do? So Baltimore played Patrick Mahomes and they

328
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:50,639
Speaker 1: played Deshaun Watson, who are probably the closest things that

329
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 1: I could find on the Ravens schedule to a Josh

330
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 1: Allen's skill set. Are you at least in the neighborhood

331
00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 1: of agreeing with me on that? So with Patrick Mahomes,

332
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 1: they blitzed him forty seven point six percent of the time,

333
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:11,879
Speaker 1: no sacks, four quarterback hits. Ravens lost by two touchdowns

334
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:17,399
Speaker 1: thirty four to twenty. Okay, Mahomes thirty one of forty

335
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 1: two for three hundred and eighty five yards and four touchdowns,

336
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,159
Speaker 1: also had four carries for twenty six yards and a

337
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 1: touchdown run. So Mahomes five touchdowns. That hello, that didn't

338
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 1: work Again, it was just Shawn's almost forty percent of

339
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 1: the time, or forty seven point six or staff the time,

340
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 1: forty seven point six percent. Deshaun Watson. Okay, Ravens against

341
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 1: the Texans, DeShawn Watson blitzed forty six point three percent

342
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 1: of the time, a comparable number for another mobile quarterback.

343
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:52,639
Speaker 1: Four sacks, thirteen quarterback hits. Watson two hundred and seventy

344
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 1: five yards passing, completed about seventy percent of his passes.

345
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,159
Speaker 1: What was his numbers? Twenty five to thirty six for

346
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,920
Speaker 1: two hundred and seventy five yards, touchdown in a pick

347
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 1: and the Ravens won going away thirty three to sixteen. Now,

348
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,199
Speaker 1: the Texans have a lot more problems than than we

349
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:13,880
Speaker 1: care to admit. Um, so I said. Okay, Now, let

350
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 1: me look at how Josh Allen did against the teams

351
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 1: that blitzed him the most this year. Okay, see how

352
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 1: he did. So these are the top five teams that

353
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 1: blitzed Josh Allen the most this season. Okay, all right,

354
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 1: Number five Miami. See if I can print this sheet

355
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 1: out and give it to you, don't have to know,

356
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,639
Speaker 1: I like writing it down. Okay, you remember, you're retained

357
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 1: it better. I'm a writer downer. Also, Miami number five,

358
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,679
Speaker 1: they blitz him at a rate of fifty percent, and

359
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,199
Speaker 1: that's over both games. And this is and this is

360
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 1: the team that Josh Allen had like eleven to seven touchdowns.

361
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 1: So that's that's number five. Number four, Kansas City blitz

362
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 1: him at a rate of fifty two percent. Arizona number

363
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 1: three blitz THEMITI rate of fifty five percent. Seattle number

364
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:10,120
Speaker 1: two blitz THEMITI rate of fifty seven point eight percent.

365
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 1: Now that number I thought was a little misleading, only

366
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 1: because they had no other choice. If you remember that

367
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:18,919
Speaker 1: Seattle game, it got to a point where if we

368
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:22,160
Speaker 1: don't blitz, we're not going to be able to do anything.

369
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 1: And even that had limited success as we know. And

370
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 1: the number one blitz team on Josh Allen this year

371
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:32,400
Speaker 1: in terms of frequency was Pittsburgh sixty two point two

372
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 1: percent of the time they blitzed him. So Josh Allen's

373
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 1: combined numbers against those five teams over six games, because

374
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 1: Miami's in there for two games, Josh Allen was one

375
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:52,919
Speaker 1: forty three for two seventeen that's a completion percentage of

376
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 1: sixty six percent, almost seventeen hundred yards, sixteen ninety eight,

377
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 1: sixteen touchdowns, five picks sacked, ten times, passer rating one

378
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:13,439
Speaker 1: oh four point five one loss rating two let me

379
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 1: see here, four and two, four and two, because miamis twice.

380
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 1: Miami's twice. So there there's a nutshell of what I

381
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 1: was Those are the numbers I was crunching this morning.

382
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,359
Speaker 1: Number was the number one scoring defense in the league.

383
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:31,439
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh at the time we played him, was number one

384
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 1: scoring defensive, were number one pass rush team in the league. So,

385
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:36,640
Speaker 1: now that I've spit out all those numbers, and there's

386
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 1: probably too many there. But now that I spit all

387
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:45,200
Speaker 1: those out, what do you think Baltimore does with this guy?

388
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:48,400
Speaker 1: Because even with Patrick Mahomes and Deshaun Watson, who were

389
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,880
Speaker 1: not in the top five of quarterbacks they blitzed the most.

390
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 1: They probably are most comparable in skill set in terms

391
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:58,400
Speaker 1: of mobility and passing ability to Josh Allen. They still

392
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,399
Speaker 1: blitz those guys over forty five percent of the time,

393
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 1: which is higher than their season average. Yeah, I'm wondering what.

394
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 1: But they lost one of those games Mahomes buy two

395
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:12,360
Speaker 1: touchdowns and one the other one convincingly over the Texans,

396
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 1: who are a bad football team. Yeah they were. They

397
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 1: didn't have any offensive one. I was hoping to get

398
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 1: more clarity crunching all these numbers as to what Baltimore

399
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,359
Speaker 1: might do with their blitz scheme, but I don't know

400
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 1: that I'm any closer to an answer. How much did that?

401
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 1: How much did Baltimore blitz over the course of the

402
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 1: entire season Forty five and a half percent of the time,

403
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,880
Speaker 1: leads the league. That's what you're gonna get. That's who

404
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 1: they are. But I'll say this, if the Bills are

405
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,479
Speaker 1: going to have to come up with protection schemes because

406
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:45,120
Speaker 1: if if they send they consistent, if you'll spread out

407
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 1: either go empty or with a back, you got five

408
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 1: offensive linemen and a back. If they bring six and

409
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:58,159
Speaker 1: don't go zero, which means if if the defense brings six,

410
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 1: you've got six blockers, you're running back, your five offensive linemen,

411
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 1: and then you're four wideouts or you're tight end and

412
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 1: you're running back whatever whichever tight end or running back

413
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 1: he releases. They're all manned up. They're all manned up.

414
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 1: The question is can you protect your guy before somebody

415
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,439
Speaker 1: getting before somebody gets open. And I've only watched a

416
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:21,639
Speaker 1: couple of Baltimore's games to this point. They don't send

417
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 1: six a lot. They only send five most of the

418
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 1: time when they, you know, send extra pressure. So it's

419
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 1: usual at least I'm only again, I've only seen two games,

420
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:36,439
Speaker 1: but it's usually five. Not for me, five should not

421
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 1: be enough. Yeah. Now Baltimore's got like Klais Campbell down inside.

422
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,640
Speaker 1: They got some guys down inside them. They can collapse,

423
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 1: they can collapse it, but they don't have you know,

424
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:54,879
Speaker 1: deforced Buckner. Yeah. I don't worry about interior pressure as

425
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 1: much with Josh because he'd prefer to roll out. So

426
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 1: I worry about those premier edge guys. You know, those

427
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 1: are the guys can worry about. You could, yeah, but here. Yeah,

428
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,920
Speaker 1: So here's the thing. We've got guys that are gonna

429
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:08,879
Speaker 1: get open. They can get open fast. You got Cole Beasley,

430
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,400
Speaker 1: you got John Brown and you know all the guys

431
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 1: we know him digs. So I just don't think they

432
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,440
Speaker 1: do a lot of that this game. Maybe they do.

433
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 1: The bills are crush, you're anticipating they commit to coverage

434
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:27,680
Speaker 1: rush four, drop seven, rush three, drop eight. Yeah, because

435
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:30,160
Speaker 1: they get the passing, they'll drop out of that. Because

436
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 1: I don't think they will fear Buffalo's running game, particularly

437
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 1: with Zach Moss out of the lineup. I think they'll

438
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 1: just say, listen, you're gonna run and go ahead. I

439
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 1: don't think we don't think you will. I will say

440
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary had a decent game against them last year.

441
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 1: Eighteen carries ninety five yards average five yards to carry.

442
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 1: So there's a part of me that says, I don't

443
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:55,360
Speaker 1: know if you want the straight ahead guy as your

444
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 1: main back in this game. Because they are so good

445
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,880
Speaker 1: at filling the holes and holding their ground, you may

446
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 1: want to make you make your miss guy like Devin is.

447
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:07,679
Speaker 1: You know he'll he'll leave somebody on the ground on

448
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 1: a wallet, phone, keys play where the guys are looking

449
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 1: for their wallet, their phone, and their keys because Devin

450
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 1: shook him out of their shoes. Right. We've seen that

451
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 1: a bunch. Yeah, it's it's going to be really interesting

452
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 1: because there's no question that Baltimore is not going to

453
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 1: get any help from last year's game about this year's game.

454
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:31,400
Speaker 1: The defense is different. Yeah, the offense is completely different,

455
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 1: and I think Baltimore is a lot of what they

456
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 1: were a year ago. They might be a year deeper

457
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 1: into it, but that's who they are. So not that

458
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 1: they haven't played anybody like the Bills or anything like that.

459
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 1: I'm just saying they haven't seen this Bill's team. Valid

460
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:55,639
Speaker 1: I was in. I was particularly intrigued by the amount

461
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,119
Speaker 1: of poise that Baltimore showed when they got off to

462
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 1: a rough start down ten nothing to Tennessee through a

463
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:07,399
Speaker 1: pick early. It's a bad pick. They didn't panic, they

464
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:10,359
Speaker 1: didn't panic at all. And then once Lamar ran for

465
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 1: that forty eight yard touchdown, you could kind of see

466
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 1: the energy come back into the team after that, and

467
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:20,120
Speaker 1: they kind of carried the day from there. Twitter poll

468
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:24,160
Speaker 1: today involves this game obviously, as we are asking you

469
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 1: which matchup is more important in Saturday's game with the

470
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:30,359
Speaker 1: Ravens and why is it the Ravens offense against the

471
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 1: Bills defense or is it the Bills offense against the

472
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 1: Ravens defense. Got two choices there. Let us know which

473
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:41,919
Speaker 1: matchup you feel is more important. And I know the

474
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:45,399
Speaker 1: voting was pretty mixed early on once we put this

475
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:49,240
Speaker 1: poll up on our Twitter account, at One Bills Live,

476
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 1: so be sure to respond there voting the poll and

477
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 1: then let us know why you feel that way, and

478
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 1: we'll go to the phones as well at eight three

479
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 1: five fifty see what you have to say there. Coming

480
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 1: up on the show today in about a half an

481
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:05,120
Speaker 1: hour's time, Kyle Brand for his weekly visit from Good

482
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 1: Morning Football. We'll talk to him, and I don't know

483
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:12,879
Speaker 1: if he's totally optimistic about the Bills this week against Baltimore,

484
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 1: but we'll check in with him and find out. And

485
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 1: then about an hour and a half from now, former

486
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 1: Bills lineman also played for a host of other teams

487
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:24,399
Speaker 1: in the league. Ross Tucker will be joining us as well,

488
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 1: so we'll check in with him about the playoff landscape

489
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:31,439
Speaker 1: as it currently stands in both the AFC and NFC

490
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 1: and get his take on that and his thoughts on

491
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 1: the Bills as well. We're gonna take a quick phone

492
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 1: call here as Brian and Buffalo has been waiting, and Brian,

493
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 1: what do you have for us? You're on One Bills Live. Hey, okay,

494
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 1: excuse me, thanks for taking my call. I always watched

495
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 1: Good Good Morning Football and you guys every day, and

496
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 1: I know Kyle Brand's a big Buffalo Bills backer. But

497
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 1: last week, I can't remember what day was, Thursday and Friday,

498
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 1: he sort of put Buffalo down because he was back

499
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 1: in the Colts. Actually I don't I don't remember who

500
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 1: he picked to win the game, but he was saying,

501
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 1: Buffalo better watch out because of this and this and this.

502
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 1: You know, it was like he switched. And I want

503
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 1: to know if you guys can bring it up to

504
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 1: him or what or ask him about it. Yeah, I mean,

505
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 1: he wasn't wrong there for things to look out for

506
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 1: in that game. For sure. It was nail biting time

507
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 1: lait in that game. I'll say this, we give we

508
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 1: give Kyle a lot of a lot of leeway on

509
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 1: this show because he's he's working for a national outlet.

510
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 1: In Good Morning Football, they talk about the thirty two

511
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 1: teams in the league, and he knows all he's got

512
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 1: to handle on all of them. So we respect his

513
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 1: opinion because while he does like us, and he likes

514
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 1: the Bills and he's he loves the Mafia and all that,

515
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 1: he also has to kind of walk the fence a

516
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 1: lot because he's got to talk about all these teams

517
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 1: and guy for the whole league. Right, He's exactly, So, yeah,

518
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 1: he is not. He's not paid to be a Bills fan.

519
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 1: He's paid to be a fan of the NFL. So

520
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 1: if you hear him talking some night things about other teams,

521
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 1: it's just because there's some nice things to be talked

522
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 1: about other places. So yeah, and that's the game. We

523
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 1: don't live in a we don't live in a vacuum,

524
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 1: and certainly Kyle doesn't either. So we give Kyle as

525
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 1: an honorary member of the Bill's Mafia. We give him

526
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 1: a little bit of leeways as of the nice things

527
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 1: he can say about the upcoming opponents for the Bills.

528
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 1: All right, break time for us. When we come back,

529
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 1: we'll take some of your phone calls and your comments

530
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 1: on the tweet cheat as we're asking you which matchup

531
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 1: is more important in Saturday's game with the Ravens and

532
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 1: why Raven's offense against Bill's defense or Bill's offense against

533
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 1: Ravens defense. Tell us what you think and we'll get

534
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 1: to you next Here on One Bill's Live, presented by

535
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 1: Kalid to Health, This is Buffalo Bill's Radio. Thanks to

536
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 1: this week's game sponsor, Pepsi, the official soft drink of

537
00:30:57,080 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills, the game sponsor for Saturday's game with

538
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 1: the Ravens, a prime time affair forecasts, at least the

539
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 1: ones that I've seen. Steve, you can tell me if

540
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 1: you've seem different. There is a chance for some light

541
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 1: snow in the forecast, but it's not supposed to be

542
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 1: of any measurable accumulation, more of the flurry variety low

543
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 1: of around twenty eight. I did not see a wind forecast, though,

544
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 1: so I'll have to check again and see if we

545
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 1: can get one for that. But it doesn't look like

546
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 1: the weather will be compromising game plans, shall we say,

547
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 1: from what's forecast at this point, Yeah, I don't know it.

548
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 1: It's gonna be really bad for that to happen. Yeah,

549
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 1: I mean, like you need fifty mile an hour winds

550
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 1: and the goal posts waving around and all that kind

551
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 1: of stuff which we have seen here in over the

552
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 1: many years that we've watched Bills. What only ever happens?

553
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:00,479
Speaker 1: We said we would get back to the phones as

554
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 1: we are asking you at eight three oh five fifty

555
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 1: which matchup is more important in Saturday's game with the

556
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 1: Ravens and why Ravens offense against the Bills defense, Bills

557
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 1: offense against the Ravens defense. Tell us which one has

558
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 1: your stomach and knots, which one you feel good about?

559
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 1: Which one is more important? So let us know. At

560
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 1: eight oh three, oh five fifty we go to Brandon

561
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 1: all the way down in Texas. Brandon, what do you

562
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 1: have for us? You're on one Bills Live. Hey, good

563
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 1: afternoon guys. Um, It's definitely good to be on. I'm

564
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 1: a Ravens fan down here in Texas, but I've been

565
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 1: listening to your show this week. I think you gotta

566
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 1: do a great job. Just wanted to show you some love.

567
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 1: Thanks man. The game, Oh, no problem, No problem, m

568
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 1: I think that the key matchup is going to be

569
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 1: the Ravens all offense versus the Builds defense. And the

570
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 1: reason why I say that is I think that while

571
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 1: the Ravens the Bills have definitely progressed a lot since

572
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 1: the last matchup, and I agree with Um. I agree

573
00:32:58,040 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 1: with both of you. I don't think they'll be able

574
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 1: to see as Josh as much as they did last year.

575
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 1: I'm still confident that the Ravens secondary that's now fully

576
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 1: healthy can kind of limit just the hotline octame power

577
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 1: that the Bills offense had. I can see them kind

578
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 1: of keeping the Bills to between I say twenty four

579
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 1: and thirty points, especially if the weather gets a little bad.

580
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 1: But where I have my doubts about the Bills being

581
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 1: able to deal with the Ravens is in the trenches,

582
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 1: specifically on the d line. I don't think the Bills

583
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 1: have been great this year and stopping the run, and

584
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 1: I think that as the season has gone on, one

585
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 1: X factor for the Ravens is JK. Dobbins. I think

586
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 1: he provides the Ravens with a perimeter rush game that's

587
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 1: hard to defend. And I think that last week the

588
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 1: Ravens only unlocked a key to being able to defend

589
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 1: a defense that the Bills started against US last year,

590
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 1: and the Titan kind of took it to the next

591
00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 1: level and it was a tough matchup for US for

592
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:02,120
Speaker 1: a while. But I think that the Ravens kind of

593
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 1: we're able in the second half to unlock some keys

594
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:09,400
Speaker 1: to beating that defense that the Bills put together against

595
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:12,719
Speaker 1: US last year, and it's the flat passing game. I

596
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 1: think that being able to pass to our fullback or

597
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 1: card and even being able to use Andrews and Hollywood

598
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 1: Brown on the horizontal passing game. I think it's something

599
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:27,399
Speaker 1: to watch for this game. And I just really think

600
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:30,359
Speaker 1: that in the trenches one thing that's not maybe talked

601
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 1: about as much as Bills have a great defense, but

602
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:37,239
Speaker 1: they're small, they're not big, and I think that over

603
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:41,800
Speaker 1: the course of a four quarter game, having the tackle Dibings,

604
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:44,239
Speaker 1: having to deal with the North South running game with

605
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 1: Gus Edwards, who I think is an underrated running back,

606
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 1: I think that's gonna create some challenges in the second half,

607
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:52,840
Speaker 1: and I think that the Ravens may be able to

608
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:56,480
Speaker 1: wear them down. But give me, give me your thoughts. Yeah,

609
00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 1: I got one question for you, Brandon. It's nice to

610
00:34:58,080 --> 00:34:59,920
Speaker 1: have you on. Thanks for calling the show. We're very

611
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,960
Speaker 1: welcoming of other fans the other teams to call in.

612
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 1: What have you noticed about because we know Lamar was

613
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:09,360
Speaker 1: the MVP last year, and I know that you've probably

614
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 1: watched all their games and have heard all the commentary.

615
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:14,319
Speaker 1: And just tell our Bills fans here that are listening

616
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 1: to this show now listening to you what a Baltimore

617
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:21,239
Speaker 1: fan sees in Lamar this year that maybe he gives

618
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:23,239
Speaker 1: you prompt like he's getting better and better. What is

619
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:24,799
Speaker 1: he doing this year that he is and how's he

620
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:26,880
Speaker 1: evolved and how is he different than he wasn't his

621
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 1: MVP year a great question. I think for me, what

622
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:37,920
Speaker 1: I saw is his maturation. I think in most importantly,

623
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 1: I think he's starting to get a better connection with

624
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:45,440
Speaker 1: Hollywood Brown. I think one of the reasons why Lamar

625
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:50,839
Speaker 1: regressed a little bit, I say, especially midseason, his offensive

626
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:54,319
Speaker 1: line was in flux. Last year, Lamar had confidence in

627
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 1: the line. We had one of the best lines in

628
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:58,520
Speaker 1: the league. We had Stanley had left pack where we

629
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 1: had yonder future Hall of Guard and so Lamar could

630
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 1: step into his roles. But as the season went on

631
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 1: this year, some teams started really getting interior pressure on him.

632
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 1: We couldn't step into the rolls. And then when Stanley

633
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:16,359
Speaker 1: went down, it gave us an opportunity where we had

634
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:18,719
Speaker 1: to transition in the offensive line and kind of get

635
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 1: get that set. And so I think that, honestly, that's

636
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:25,480
Speaker 1: been the biggest reason for the I think the national

637
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:27,880
Speaker 1: narrative might be he regressed a little bit. I just

638
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 1: think the Ravens had to get an offensive line in

639
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:34,920
Speaker 1: front of him that could protect on the interiors. One

640
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 1: way you can get to Lamar is through interior pressure,

641
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 1: which I do think at Oliver and a couple of

642
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:43,319
Speaker 1: year detackles could have a big game if they can

643
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 1: do that. But honestly, that's been the thing I've seen

644
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 1: has been the Ravens offensive line, especially midseason, was in flux,

645
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:54,759
Speaker 1: and Lamar was not confident in that offensive line, and

646
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:58,919
Speaker 1: he was also trying to show the world I can

647
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:01,719
Speaker 1: be a pocket path, I can do this, and so

648
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:04,279
Speaker 1: what I've seen the last I think about the months

649
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:07,439
Speaker 1: or so since he came back from COVID, Lamar just said,

650
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:10,400
Speaker 1: you know what I'm gonna be Lamar. I Am going

651
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:12,799
Speaker 1: to throw the ball down field when it's there, but

652
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna try to get through first progression, second progression,

653
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:19,799
Speaker 1: third progression. If my first two reads aren't there, I'm

654
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:22,480
Speaker 1: gonna take off and I'm gonna run. And so I

655
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:25,440
Speaker 1: do think that one thing, and I wish the Raves

656
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:27,640
Speaker 1: would do this off season. They got to get him

657
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:29,759
Speaker 1: a number one receiver. I think you guys saw him

658
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:32,759
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. When you get a guy like Digs, it

659
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:35,560
Speaker 1: sets your whole receiving corps. And so now you have

660
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:37,799
Speaker 1: one of the best receiving cares in the league, and

661
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:39,840
Speaker 1: I think that's helped Josh a lot. I think the

662
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:43,120
Speaker 1: Rams need to use that template this year and I

663
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 1: think next year, if they can bring in a number

664
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:47,759
Speaker 1: one receiver, it will kind of set Hollywood up as

665
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 1: a number two. It will give Martin series more open

666
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:53,319
Speaker 1: field opportunities in the middle of the field because as

667
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 1: you guys know that the game playing on Lamar is

668
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 1: flood in the middle field and make him throw on

669
00:37:57,239 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 1: the edges. And so I don't think we have enough

670
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:03,719
Speaker 1: receivers and a big play receivers on outside right now.

671
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:07,440
Speaker 1: So I think that, um, that's the area where I think, um,

672
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:10,759
Speaker 1: the Raymond need to focus on an off season is

673
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:13,960
Speaker 1: getting him another receiver on the outside that will kind

674
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:16,440
Speaker 1: of we with a little bit more free space and

675
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 1: give Andrews a little more free all right, all right, now,

676
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:20,480
Speaker 1: that's awesome. I appreciate That's a good call. Thank you.

677
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:23,319
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. And I will agree. I will agree

678
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:26,080
Speaker 1: with brand on this and some of the things we

679
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:31,640
Speaker 1: let him go because it's funny people too. Yeah, I

680
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:33,960
Speaker 1: agree with him. I think the trenches are gonna dictate

681
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:35,400
Speaker 1: this game. This is a game that's you know, this

682
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:39,360
Speaker 1: is an NFAFC North team. They're gonna try and out physically.

683
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:41,839
Speaker 1: And I said this yesterday. Even in the secondary I've

684
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:44,239
Speaker 1: seen I've covered John Harbaugh teams all the way for

685
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:47,480
Speaker 1: the last fifteen twenty years. And one thing even back

686
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:49,840
Speaker 1: when Ray was there, and I talked to Ray Lewis

687
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:51,920
Speaker 1: when he was a rookie in the league as a broadcaster,

688
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:55,480
Speaker 1: so I was through that whole era. Their personality is

689
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:57,319
Speaker 1: that when they get into big moments, and I think

690
00:38:57,320 --> 00:38:59,319
Speaker 1: it's a it's a great way to do it. They

691
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 1: want a Super Bowl doing this in the big moments,

692
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:08,600
Speaker 1: they play more physical than you do, and they dare

693
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:11,400
Speaker 1: the officials to get involved in those big moments. Particularly

694
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:15,400
Speaker 1: I'll take you back to Super Bowl forty seven. It

695
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:17,880
Speaker 1: was the nine. It was the two hardball brothers. It

696
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:20,800
Speaker 1: was the Niners and the Ravens. The light Yeah, that

697
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 1: was the it was the blackout Super Bowl. The raven

698
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:26,000
Speaker 1: The Niners get back into that game because the lights

699
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 1: go out. There's a big delay and the Ravens are

700
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 1: trying to get the game over and the Niners got

701
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 1: their backs against the wall and they got you know,

702
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 1: Kaepernick and all this, and they're doing all. They get

703
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:34,840
Speaker 1: back in the game, they get down to crunch time

704
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:37,640
Speaker 1: and they've got a chance to go for a two

705
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:39,920
Speaker 1: point conversion to tie it up and get back in

706
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:43,960
Speaker 1: the game. And I'm telling you what, those Baltimore defensive

707
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 1: backs through the flag. If you want, they're not score scoring.

708
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:51,400
Speaker 1: We'll take another shot at it, but they're not scoring.

709
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 1: The guy that Kaepernick through the football too, was held,

710
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:58,719
Speaker 1: it was illegal contact and it was passed interference. All three,

711
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 1: no flag. Baltimore wins. And that's the way they that's

712
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:04,680
Speaker 1: the way there are, not just in the big moments,

713
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:07,799
Speaker 1: but down inside. They want to dominate up front, on

714
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:10,600
Speaker 1: defensive line and offensive line all the time. The only

715
00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:13,040
Speaker 1: point that Brandon made that I'll refute a little bit

716
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:15,560
Speaker 1: in terms of Buffalo's ability to defend it, and I

717
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:18,080
Speaker 1: did notice this and he brought it up, was how

718
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:22,040
Speaker 1: much they're using the flat passing game to help Lamar

719
00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 1: get in a passing rhythm. They used recard the fullback,

720
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 1: as he mentioned, and they used Hollywood brown out in

721
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 1: the flats on short, little flare routes, you know, just

722
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:36,000
Speaker 1: quick five yard pass and let the guy make some

723
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:38,520
Speaker 1: somebody miss in space or try to get some extra yardage.

724
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:42,680
Speaker 1: Ricard was an afterthought for Tennessee. They even cover him,

725
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:45,040
Speaker 1: he would just kind of block it the line of scrimmage,

726
00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:47,800
Speaker 1: leak out to the right, being little pass five to

727
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:51,080
Speaker 1: six yards, you know, second and four. They did that

728
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:54,480
Speaker 1: three or four times. They never they never covered him

729
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:56,759
Speaker 1: because I guess they figured out he's not running away

730
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:59,880
Speaker 1: from us. Make the tackle, Yeah, but you're giving up

731
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:02,719
Speaker 1: six yards every time. And then they did it with

732
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:05,719
Speaker 1: Hollywood Brown also, they ran some orbit motion with him,

733
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:07,799
Speaker 1: threw it to him behind the line of scrimmage, threw

734
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:10,360
Speaker 1: it to him at the line of scrimmage, quick little

735
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:13,959
Speaker 1: release pattern, like doesn't even take a step off the line,

736
00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:16,719
Speaker 1: runs horizontally and then just turns and looks over his

737
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:18,920
Speaker 1: shoulder for a quick pass. And they were getting four

738
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:21,239
Speaker 1: or five yards that way. Part of the reason that's

739
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:27,400
Speaker 1: successful is because Tennessee secondary sucks. It's awful. It's absolutely awful,

740
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:29,759
Speaker 1: not only in terms of coverage. They've got to be

741
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:32,680
Speaker 1: one of the worst tackling secondaries I have ever seen.

742
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:36,600
Speaker 1: They're ridiculously bad. And that will not happen against the bill.

743
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:38,960
Speaker 1: So I don't think those flat routes are going to

744
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:43,080
Speaker 1: be there for the Ravens to exploit in this match.

745
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:46,040
Speaker 1: It will be interesting because if if there's any sense,

746
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:52,040
Speaker 1: the Ravens are unbelievably slanted like no other team in

747
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:55,200
Speaker 1: the league. They're number one in the league in the

748
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:58,719
Speaker 1: rushing yards, yes, number one, by with a bullet, their

749
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:01,760
Speaker 1: number thirty two in past so their first and last.

750
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:04,720
Speaker 1: So that gives you an idea of what you're up against.

751
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:07,439
Speaker 1: When you start watching film on the Ravens about their

752
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:09,400
Speaker 1: commitment to the running game, you think you think your

753
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:11,120
Speaker 1: team's committed to the running game. You haven't seen the

754
00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:13,799
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens. They're committed to the running game. You think

755
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:15,799
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans are committed to the running game, Not

756
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 1: like the Baltimore Ravens are. Those guys run it and

757
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:21,240
Speaker 1: they dare you to stop it, and they're gonna pound

758
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:24,600
Speaker 1: on it. Like a caller Brandon from Texas said, over

759
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:29,000
Speaker 1: the course of four quarters, the sheer dedication of them

760
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:32,320
Speaker 1: handing the football off, or you trying to defend Lamar Jackson,

761
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:34,560
Speaker 1: who's who's a home run hit? Or a four three

762
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:37,239
Speaker 1: guy with the ball in his hands, you just get

763
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:40,600
Speaker 1: You just get worn out chasing him or trying to

764
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:43,279
Speaker 1: hem him in, and one wrong move is a home

765
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:46,279
Speaker 1: run for them. So it's it's pretty nerve racking to

766
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:50,320
Speaker 1: watch to defend this Baltimore Raven running game passing game.

767
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 1: I think what the most, what you really hope for

768
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:56,759
Speaker 1: in their passing game. Certainly you might get the occasional

769
00:42:57,160 --> 00:42:59,160
Speaker 1: pick if he goes deep and doesn't throw it well.

770
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:01,399
Speaker 1: But what you're really trying to do is just get

771
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:03,200
Speaker 1: the incompletion once in a while, so you can get

772
00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:06,520
Speaker 1: him into third and eight, third and nine. They're rarely there.

773
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:09,520
Speaker 1: They're rarely there. Break time for us. But the roster

774
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:11,759
Speaker 1: moves are official for the Bills, at least the ones

775
00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:15,239
Speaker 1: that were being reported. Zach Moss has been put on

776
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:19,440
Speaker 1: injured reserve. They've elevated offensive lineman Jordan Debby to the

777
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:22,400
Speaker 1: active roster. He was a practice squad call up for

778
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:24,920
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks this season, and signed to the

779
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 1: practice squad running back Devanta Freeman. We'll be back with

780
00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:30,600
Speaker 1: more here on One Bill's Live, including your phone calls

781
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 1: when we return back in a minute. With the new

782
00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:51,080
Speaker 1: X series of scratch offs from the New York Lottery,

783
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:54,040
Speaker 1: you can multiply your winnings up to one hundred times

784
00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:56,799
Speaker 1: the X Series from the New York Lottery. It's a

785
00:43:56,800 --> 00:43:59,279
Speaker 1: better way to multiply. Must be eighteen years or older

786
00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:03,680
Speaker 1: to purchase. Please play responsibly. Last season, the Bills were

787
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:06,439
Speaker 1: the only team to hold Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson under

788
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:10,200
Speaker 1: two hundred combined yards one hundred forty five passing forty rushing.

789
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:13,200
Speaker 1: Only two teams in twenty twenty limited Jackson to under

790
00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:16,239
Speaker 1: two hundred total yards, the Chiefs in Week three and

791
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:21,920
Speaker 1: the Bengals in Week five. So, Steve, we have to

792
00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:23,680
Speaker 1: get back to the phones here because we've got some

793
00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:26,640
Speaker 1: people waiting for us. All right, and we go to

794
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:28,960
Speaker 1: Tom in Depew, Tom, what do you have for us?

795
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:33,480
Speaker 1: You're on one Bills live hichs s Steve Hi. Tom.

796
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:41,719
Speaker 1: It to Steve. Scantastic players plays team and you should

797
00:44:41,719 --> 00:44:47,120
Speaker 1: be in the Hall of Fame. Thanks. Thanks. What do

798
00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:56,480
Speaker 1: you got? Tom? Um? Last year? I remember spistically, Oh, Glenda,

799
00:44:57,920 --> 00:45:04,239
Speaker 1: Lonzo Alexander. You just show him talking about UM how

800
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:15,719
Speaker 1: he had some speciful way of UM funding. Tom. Yeah, Tom,

801
00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:19,319
Speaker 1: I think you're talking about Lorenzo Alexander UM. But we're

802
00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:21,600
Speaker 1: gonna let you go there because we're having trouble hearing

803
00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:24,080
Speaker 1: you and understanding you. So I'm sorry about that. But

804
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:27,880
Speaker 1: I think Tom wanted to address Lorenzo Alexander's role in

805
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:31,120
Speaker 1: the defense last year, and he had a multiple, multifaceted role,

806
00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:33,680
Speaker 1: there's no question about that, and I think he's wondering

807
00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:38,239
Speaker 1: how they how they cross up Baltimore's offense now that

808
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:41,040
Speaker 1: he's no longer part of the equation. Um, they don't

809
00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:45,359
Speaker 1: really have somebody like Lorenzo this year, no to serve

810
00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:47,879
Speaker 1: that multifaceted role. They really don't. One of the things

811
00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:50,600
Speaker 1: I may be wrong about this, I can't really remember

812
00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:53,800
Speaker 1: too well. It seems like they were using Lorenzo and

813
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:56,080
Speaker 1: some pass rush moves as well. They were putting him

814
00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:59,760
Speaker 1: down inside to rush the pastor they would kick shackdown

815
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:02,239
Speaker 1: and right. So what would happen is you got the

816
00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:05,719
Speaker 1: Lorenzo out there, who's basically a weak side linebacker, but

817
00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:07,840
Speaker 1: then when he'd stepped down, you'd bring another guy in

818
00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:09,960
Speaker 1: off the bad. You didn't know the personnel combination that

819
00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:11,720
Speaker 1: they were gonna ut or how they're gonna use Lorenzo,

820
00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:14,920
Speaker 1: So it would give pause to the offense about what

821
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:17,200
Speaker 1: they were actually seeing in their defensive front. Was Lorenzo

822
00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:20,040
Speaker 1: gonna play defensive tackle with Jerry Hughes outside of him?

823
00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:22,319
Speaker 1: Or was he gonna come out of the ball, out

824
00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:24,319
Speaker 1: of the line of scrimmage and go back and cover.

825
00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:27,920
Speaker 1: So it gave the Bills some you know, some flexibility

826
00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:31,399
Speaker 1: that way and some you know, disguise ability that way.

827
00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:34,279
Speaker 1: I don't think they do that this year. What they

828
00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:38,399
Speaker 1: use is they use Edmonds and milano and they move

829
00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:41,719
Speaker 1: them around outside inside together through that double a gap

830
00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:44,600
Speaker 1: blitch you see once in a while, or they'll just

831
00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:46,560
Speaker 1: move them around. So that's how they do it this year.

832
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:48,960
Speaker 1: They just try to get the same effect with a

833
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:51,880
Speaker 1: different way, in a different way, using different players. Let's

834
00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:54,520
Speaker 1: go to Alex out in Webster. Alex, what do you

835
00:46:54,560 --> 00:46:57,680
Speaker 1: have for us? You're on one Bill's Live. Hey guys,

836
00:46:57,680 --> 00:46:59,440
Speaker 1: what's going on? Not too much? What do you have

837
00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:04,560
Speaker 1: for us? So I was wondering, we saw the Bills

838
00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:07,279
Speaker 1: game plan against the Chiefs, what's to basically take away

839
00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:09,440
Speaker 1: what they do best, which is passed the ball and

840
00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:12,000
Speaker 1: dare them to run. I was wondering if the Bills

841
00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:14,399
Speaker 1: would go the opposite way with the Ravens and make

842
00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:17,000
Speaker 1: them pass the ball and do as much as possible

843
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:21,040
Speaker 1: to stop the runs. Sounds good to me if it works.

844
00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:25,799
Speaker 1: I mean, the problem with that, and problem with a

845
00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:27,840
Speaker 1: lot of what you know we come up with, is

846
00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:29,520
Speaker 1: that we feel like if we do that one hundred

847
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:31,680
Speaker 1: percent of the time, we're gonna work one hundred percent

848
00:47:31,719 --> 00:47:35,759
Speaker 1: of the time. Those guys are on scholarship too, So

849
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:38,200
Speaker 1: you got to you gotta mix up your defensive look

850
00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:40,640
Speaker 1: and your defensive scheme or you're gonna pay the price.

851
00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:43,839
Speaker 1: So you've got to be in good enough at enough

852
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:48,200
Speaker 1: different things defensively and offensively so as not to let

853
00:47:48,239 --> 00:47:51,840
Speaker 1: them do the exact same thing snap after snap. They're

854
00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:54,600
Speaker 1: that good. Lamar Jackson is not going to let the

855
00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:58,479
Speaker 1: Bills line up with nine in the box, plays zero cover,

856
00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:01,680
Speaker 1: blitz and their running game and then not have an

857
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:03,520
Speaker 1: answer for that. They'll have an answer for that. So

858
00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:08,879
Speaker 1: if you do that all the time, you're gonna pay

859
00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:11,160
Speaker 1: for it. Events. You can't sell out and do anything

860
00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:13,879
Speaker 1: of it. Now, I get it. Advance. You can pick

861
00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:16,960
Speaker 1: your spots, certainly, Yes, you can certainly pick your spots

862
00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:18,560
Speaker 1: and do that. And I get what you're saying, and

863
00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:21,840
Speaker 1: you're right, there's gonna be times when the Baltimore Ravens

864
00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:23,840
Speaker 1: are gonna run it. The Bills know they're gonna run it,

865
00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:26,040
Speaker 1: and Brownie and I know they're gonna run it, and

866
00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:28,160
Speaker 1: the Baltimore raven fans know they're gonna run it, and

867
00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:30,480
Speaker 1: so do all the Bills fans. No, they're gonna run it.

868
00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:33,160
Speaker 1: That's when you kind of picked your spot to go. Yeah,

869
00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:35,600
Speaker 1: maybe we'll play zero and go go after the quarterback,

870
00:48:36,280 --> 00:48:38,400
Speaker 1: you know, stop the run on the way to the quarterback.

871
00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:44,200
Speaker 1: But that's not gonna work on a vast majority of snaps. Yeah, maybe,

872
00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:46,680
Speaker 1: like you say, maybe I'm thirty five percent of the

873
00:48:46,680 --> 00:48:49,160
Speaker 1: snaps or thirty percent of the snaps or whatever that is.

874
00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:51,799
Speaker 1: You can't do the same thing over and over. That's

875
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:53,600
Speaker 1: all there is too. But yes, I agree with you.

876
00:48:53,680 --> 00:48:55,600
Speaker 1: That's you gotta make them do that. It's gonna be

877
00:48:55,719 --> 00:48:59,239
Speaker 1: very interesting because I don't think any of us are

878
00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:01,880
Speaker 1: anticipating that the Ravens will have a whole lot of

879
00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:05,960
Speaker 1: respect for Buffalo's rushing attack. I wonder how much respect

880
00:49:06,080 --> 00:49:08,680
Speaker 1: the Bills are going to have for the Ravens passing attack,

881
00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:10,600
Speaker 1: knowing it's it's last in the league. It's not like

882
00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:13,680
Speaker 1: they can't do it, but they don't have a tremendous

883
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:16,640
Speaker 1: amount of success doing it. So you wonder how you

884
00:49:16,680 --> 00:49:19,719
Speaker 1: balance those things in terms of where do we be

885
00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:23,760
Speaker 1: aggressive at the expense of maybe leaving that open knowing

886
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:26,000
Speaker 1: it's not a strength of their kind of thing. That's

887
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:28,200
Speaker 1: what I wonder with the cat and Mouse game and everything.

888
00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:30,480
Speaker 1: Break time for us. But when we come back from

889
00:49:30,520 --> 00:49:33,080
Speaker 1: Good Morning Football, It's Kyle Brandt will be making his

890
00:49:33,160 --> 00:49:36,400
Speaker 1: weekly visit. We'll see what he thinks about this divisional

891
00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:40,319
Speaker 1: playoff in prime time on Saturday night. Kyle brand coming

892
00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:43,000
Speaker 1: up next here on One Bill's Live, presented by Kalida Health,

893
00:49:43,040 --> 00:49:59,399
Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. Healo Bills Radio Network, Sports Your

894
00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:01,680
Speaker 1: Sports up to from One Bill's Drive. Bill's back on

895
00:50:01,680 --> 00:50:04,440
Speaker 1: the practice field as they get ready for Saturday's Division

896
00:50:04,480 --> 00:50:07,239
Speaker 1: around playoff game with the Ravens. Would get a participation

897
00:50:07,320 --> 00:50:10,719
Speaker 1: update later this afternoon. Head coach Sean McDermott ruled out

898
00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:13,960
Speaker 1: running back Zach Moss, who was placed on injured reserve today.

899
00:50:13,960 --> 00:50:16,600
Speaker 1: He left last weekend's game against the Colts with an

900
00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:19,400
Speaker 1: ankle injury. To replace Moss on the active roster, the

901
00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:22,640
Speaker 1: Bills called up offensive lineman Jordan Devi from the practice squad.

902
00:50:22,960 --> 00:50:25,480
Speaker 1: They also added some insurance at the running back position

903
00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:28,640
Speaker 1: with the signing of former Giants running back Davante Freeman.

904
00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:31,279
Speaker 1: Freeman played in just five games in twenty twenty for

905
00:50:31,360 --> 00:50:33,399
Speaker 1: the Giants, who signed him after he spent the first

906
00:50:33,440 --> 00:50:36,200
Speaker 1: six years of his career with the Falcons. Giants cut

907
00:50:36,200 --> 00:50:40,200
Speaker 1: Freeman last week, clearing waivers, making him a free agent.

908
00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:43,759
Speaker 1: New York Stayed announced yesterday that fans will indeed be

909
00:50:43,800 --> 00:50:46,719
Speaker 1: able to attend Saturday night's game against the Ravens, and

910
00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:48,920
Speaker 1: soon after the team announced that those ticket sales have

911
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:52,160
Speaker 1: sold out, they expected to have sixty seven hundred fans

912
00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:55,799
Speaker 1: this weekend at Bill's Stadium. Much like last week's wildcard game,

913
00:50:56,280 --> 00:50:58,360
Speaker 1: Both of the Bills coordinators could be in line for

914
00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:01,920
Speaker 1: promotions elsewhere. Uston Texans have asked for permission to interview

915
00:51:01,960 --> 00:51:05,719
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator Leslie Frasier for their head coaching vacancy. This

916

Speaker 1: New York, and joining us for his weekly visit on

933
00:52:00,840 --> 00:52:05,040
Speaker 1: every Tuesday. Going up on a Tuesday is one Kyle Brandt,

934
00:52:05,280 --> 00:52:11,240
Speaker 1: who is ready to throw down on this Ravens Bills matchup. Kyle,

935
00:52:11,640 --> 00:52:14,279
Speaker 1: what say you? What did you think first blush when

936
00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:18,200
Speaker 1: this playoff matchup was set? I'm fired up. We got

937
00:52:18,239 --> 00:52:22,520
Speaker 1: the postseason preseason game over with the wildcard round. That's

938
00:52:22,560 --> 00:52:24,880
Speaker 1: that's done with the warm up, and now it's go time.

939
00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:28,279
Speaker 1: I do have to say, there's something that happened that's

940
00:52:28,320 --> 00:52:31,880
Speaker 1: bothering me as pertains to the Bills. It's like, on Saturday,

941
00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:35,320
Speaker 1: you win a home playoff game for the first time

942
00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:39,759
Speaker 1: and forever, and by the time Monday comes around, it's

943
00:52:39,920 --> 00:52:42,600
Speaker 1: all about the Cleveland Browns, Like the Bills didn't get

944
00:52:42,760 --> 00:52:45,120
Speaker 1: the Bill got twenty four hours to enjoy that win,

945
00:52:45,239 --> 00:52:47,400
Speaker 1: and then by the time the Monday news secums, Wow,

946
00:52:47,440 --> 00:52:48,960
Speaker 1: can you believe it? The brown they haven't won a

947
00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:51,319
Speaker 1: playoff game and forever. So the Bills won the first

948
00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:52,919
Speaker 1: playoff game in twenty five years. It's like they didn't

949
00:52:52,920 --> 00:52:54,800
Speaker 1: even win the weekend. So I would take that and

950
00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:56,359
Speaker 1: I would fuel it because I feel like they got

951
00:52:56,440 --> 00:52:59,000
Speaker 1: jobbed a little bit. Yeah, I don't think they're gonna

952
00:52:59,040 --> 00:53:03,919
Speaker 1: get any major pub or notoriety until if and when

953
00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:06,759
Speaker 1: they get to the RC title game. Yeah, when if

954
00:53:07,080 --> 00:53:10,360
Speaker 1: they somehow were able to beat the Ravens this weekend.

955
00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:13,200
Speaker 1: What happens in the championship round of the playoffs is

956
00:53:13,320 --> 00:53:16,520
Speaker 1: both teams their entire season, every rep starts to get

957
00:53:16,520 --> 00:53:19,640
Speaker 1: dissected and if you're worth it, you will get it.

958
00:53:19,680 --> 00:53:22,640
Speaker 1: So it's easy to say that now, and when it

959
00:53:22,680 --> 00:53:26,040
Speaker 1: doesn't happen after this week, maybe I'll be wrong. Well

960
00:53:26,080 --> 00:53:28,000
Speaker 1: I think about it, Steve. I think about it like

961
00:53:28,080 --> 00:53:31,120
Speaker 1: in the TV business. So Monday it starts and you

962
00:53:31,200 --> 00:53:34,400
Speaker 1: have what we call on our show the seven A topic,

963
00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:37,000
Speaker 1: which means our show starts at seven AM, and whatever

964
00:53:37,120 --> 00:53:39,480
Speaker 1: is Slider for seven is the biggest thing of the weekend.

965
00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:42,080
Speaker 1: So what would have to happen for the Bills to

966
00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:44,960
Speaker 1: be topics seven A this weekend? Because I gotta tell you,

967
00:53:45,160 --> 00:53:46,960
Speaker 1: if the Rams win and maybe at the back, it's

968
00:53:46,960 --> 00:53:49,680
Speaker 1: going to be them. If the Browns win, it's certainly

969
00:53:49,719 --> 00:53:52,040
Speaker 1: going to be them, and it might even be bucking

970
00:53:52,080 --> 00:53:54,879
Speaker 1: your Saints. So to your point, I don't know if

971
00:53:54,880 --> 00:53:57,040
Speaker 1: the Bills are going to be front row and oh

972
00:53:57,080 --> 00:53:59,279
Speaker 1: my god, look what they did this weekend until they

973
00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:02,200
Speaker 1: win a title game, and honestly, it might still be

974
00:54:02,200 --> 00:54:03,839
Speaker 1: about the NFC. They might have to win the whole

975
00:54:03,880 --> 00:54:05,719
Speaker 1: damn fact. Yeah, he might be right. They would have

976
00:54:05,760 --> 00:54:08,320
Speaker 1: to win by twenty this weekend and pick off Lamar

977
00:54:08,440 --> 00:54:10,759
Speaker 1: like three times. Yeah. I think also to have no

978
00:54:10,880 --> 00:54:12,880
Speaker 1: upsets yeah, I have no upsets at all. We've been

979
00:54:12,920 --> 00:54:14,960
Speaker 1: talking about this. I have to tell you. Go ahead,

980
00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:17,280
Speaker 1: God Gac Brownie. I'm so fired up for divisional weekend.

981
00:54:17,320 --> 00:54:18,719
Speaker 1: I'm all over the place. You're gonna have to rain

982
00:54:18,760 --> 00:54:21,800
Speaker 1: me in. I was, Steve. We were talking about how

983
00:54:21,840 --> 00:54:25,160
Speaker 1: tough the AFC bracket is and with all the young quarterbacks,

984
00:54:25,160 --> 00:54:26,880
Speaker 1: and how good it's gonna be for a while, and

985
00:54:26,880 --> 00:54:28,680
Speaker 1: how much better the AFC is and the and I

986
00:54:28,719 --> 00:54:31,239
Speaker 1: know it goes back and forth, and it's been, you know,

987
00:54:31,320 --> 00:54:34,480
Speaker 1: some years, the NFC's better some years. But this this conference,

988
00:54:34,719 --> 00:54:38,000
Speaker 1: with the seventh seed having eleven wins, you get through

989
00:54:38,040 --> 00:54:42,520
Speaker 1: this bracket, you are a good football team. You're really good.

990
00:54:42,800 --> 00:54:45,320
Speaker 1: And isn't it just wild you're talking about these quarterbacks,

991
00:54:45,360 --> 00:54:48,080
Speaker 1: Steve that it's almost like it was set up like

992
00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:51,839
Speaker 1: the boy banders and the Senior Tour. That's all it is.

993
00:54:52,080 --> 00:54:54,760
Speaker 1: You're you're either old as dirt or you're in diapers.

994
00:54:54,840 --> 00:54:59,520
Speaker 1: There is no like um, Matt Ryan types, Matt Stafford,

995
00:54:59,600 --> 00:55:03,320
Speaker 1: middle age guys. It's all like Rogers is the youngest

996
00:55:03,400 --> 00:55:06,120
Speaker 1: of the older tour. And then you got Grandpa Brady,

997
00:55:06,200 --> 00:55:09,440
Speaker 1: Grandpa Breeze on the other side. This is Josh and

998
00:55:09,600 --> 00:55:12,239
Speaker 1: Lamar and Baker and Mahomes. It's really cool like that.

999
00:55:12,760 --> 00:55:16,440
Speaker 1: Even even golf has considered super young. So we have

1000
00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:19,680
Speaker 1: a total total divide in this and one of the

1001
00:55:19,680 --> 00:55:21,640
Speaker 1: old guys are gonna get knocked off this weekend. So

1002
00:55:21,680 --> 00:55:23,960
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a lot of these young quarterbacks. Me,

1003
00:55:24,600 --> 00:55:27,480
Speaker 1: Steve and I were discussing this on the show yesterday,

1004
00:55:27,600 --> 00:55:33,239
Speaker 1: just the AFC landscape of quarterbacks and the young quarterbacks

1005
00:55:33,280 --> 00:55:36,680
Speaker 1: in this conference. I mean, up and down, left and

1006
00:55:36,800 --> 00:55:39,880
Speaker 1: right and sideways. You've got young quarterbacks in positions in

1007
00:55:39,960 --> 00:55:44,000
Speaker 1: a lot of these franchises, and there's only gonna be more.

1008
00:55:44,239 --> 00:55:47,040
Speaker 1: You're gonna get another one in Jacksonville and Trevor Lawrence.

1009
00:55:47,080 --> 00:55:49,560
Speaker 1: But I mean justin Herbert L. West. You know, even

1010
00:55:49,640 --> 00:55:52,640
Speaker 1: Derek Carr still isn't old yet. Joe and then I

1011
00:55:52,640 --> 00:55:55,960
Speaker 1: mean Joe Burrow, you know, run down the list to

1012
00:55:56,200 --> 00:56:00,239
Speaker 1: a Josh Baker, Patrick Mahomes, Arnold a number of young

1013
00:56:00,320 --> 00:56:06,880
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the AFCN. Yeah, I mean, it's it's insane.

1014
00:56:07,160 --> 00:56:09,879
Speaker 1: It's insane, and I mean it's just gonna That's why

1015
00:56:09,880 --> 00:56:13,000
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a very topsy turvy landscape

1016
00:56:13,080 --> 00:56:14,920
Speaker 1: even with as good as the Chiefs have been, I

1017
00:56:14,960 --> 00:56:18,600
Speaker 1: could see the competition level rising up to meet the

1018
00:56:18,680 --> 00:56:24,440
Speaker 1: Chiefs here very soon. Agree, And uh, Brownie, I have

1019
00:56:24,520 --> 00:56:26,400
Speaker 1: to talk about the one that's going to be coming

1020
00:56:26,719 --> 00:56:29,280
Speaker 1: to your part of your neck of the woods this weekend. Lamar.

1021
00:56:29,760 --> 00:56:32,120
Speaker 1: I've shot you guys straight all year. I hyped the

1022
00:56:32,120 --> 00:56:34,200
Speaker 1: Bills and I think they deserve it. I make big predictions,

1023
00:56:34,360 --> 00:56:36,239
Speaker 1: so I have to do it again. I don't love

1024
00:56:36,280 --> 00:56:39,120
Speaker 1: the matchup, I really don't. I was I was hoping

1025
00:56:39,160 --> 00:56:43,680
Speaker 1: that the Bills could draw Pittsburgh or draw Cleveland. Baltimore

1026
00:56:43,800 --> 00:56:45,520
Speaker 1: is very low on the list. I would want not

1027
00:56:45,560 --> 00:56:48,239
Speaker 1: just the Bills to play just anybody. I watched them

1028
00:56:48,239 --> 00:56:51,080
Speaker 1: in that second half. It's scary, man, I mean it

1029
00:56:51,200 --> 00:56:55,799
Speaker 1: really is, and it's it's Lamar obviously is intoxicating, and

1030
00:56:55,880 --> 00:56:58,600
Speaker 1: it's just the whoosh of talent and it's just so fast,

1031
00:56:58,640 --> 00:57:02,440
Speaker 1: and it's the Titans secondary. I have some really fast guys.

1032
00:57:02,719 --> 00:57:04,920
Speaker 1: Dori Jackson might be a top fifteen guy in the

1033
00:57:04,960 --> 00:57:07,560
Speaker 1: league in terms of footspeed. Nobody could catch them. And

1034
00:57:07,600 --> 00:57:10,359
Speaker 1: then it's just the defense, you know. I know, you guys.

1035
00:57:10,360 --> 00:57:12,759
Speaker 1: We'll talk about the matchup today and all week, like

1036
00:57:13,239 --> 00:57:15,920
Speaker 1: their corners are so good. I mean they really are.

1037
00:57:16,040 --> 00:57:18,880
Speaker 1: It's like Stefan Diggs has been on this ticker tape

1038
00:57:18,880 --> 00:57:21,280
Speaker 1: parade all year long and including last week, and he

1039
00:57:21,360 --> 00:57:25,120
Speaker 1: deserves it. He's been excellent. By Marlon Humphrey and Marcus Peters.

1040
00:57:25,160 --> 00:57:27,280
Speaker 1: This guys who have been in big games and big spots,

1041
00:57:27,320 --> 00:57:28,960
Speaker 1: and in the second half they took over. I do

1042
00:57:29,080 --> 00:57:32,240
Speaker 1: not love this matchup as it builds enthusiasts. I would

1043
00:57:32,240 --> 00:57:34,080
Speaker 1: have much rather see them get a couple of their teams.

1044
00:57:34,080 --> 00:57:37,320
Speaker 1: Steve hit him with your theory about how Baltimore plays

1045
00:57:37,520 --> 00:57:40,960
Speaker 1: and challenges officials to blow the whisp. I've I've watched

1046
00:57:40,960 --> 00:57:43,600
Speaker 1: Baltimore a ton. I was a CBS for all those years.

1047
00:57:43,640 --> 00:57:45,880
Speaker 1: I was on the sidelines close up to these big

1048
00:57:45,920 --> 00:57:49,160
Speaker 1: moments that Baltimore Ravens have, not only in the regular

1049
00:57:49,200 --> 00:57:52,520
Speaker 1: season but also in some championship games. And they their

1050
00:57:52,600 --> 00:57:54,600
Speaker 1: philosophy but all the way back foot and I said

1051
00:57:54,600 --> 00:57:56,320
Speaker 1: this to Brownie all the way back when ray Lewis

1052
00:57:56,360 --> 00:57:58,800
Speaker 1: was a rookie, all the way through his career, I

1053
00:57:58,840 --> 00:58:00,960
Speaker 1: was standing there for a lot of their big moments

1054
00:58:01,760 --> 00:58:07,400
Speaker 1: close and their philosophy is this when those big moments come.

1055
00:58:08,960 --> 00:58:11,440
Speaker 1: For instance, in the Super Bowl, in the blackout super

1056
00:58:11,480 --> 00:58:15,200
Speaker 1: Bowl in New Orleans, when we're playing the Niners, in

1057
00:58:15,200 --> 00:58:18,080
Speaker 1: that final moment, when Kaepernick has a chance to tie

1058
00:58:18,080 --> 00:58:20,080
Speaker 1: it up with a two point conversion or a touchdown,

1059
00:58:21,480 --> 00:58:23,680
Speaker 1: they're not going to let you score. And if the

1060
00:58:23,760 --> 00:58:26,360
Speaker 1: official wants to throw a flag on us, certainly he

1061
00:58:26,360 --> 00:58:28,840
Speaker 1: can do that. We'll take another rep. But sooner or

1062
00:58:28,920 --> 00:58:31,600
Speaker 1: later they will get tired of throwing the flag because

1063
00:58:31,680 --> 00:58:33,640
Speaker 1: we are not letting you score, even if we have

1064
00:58:33,680 --> 00:58:38,000
Speaker 1: to cheat to do it. And in a lot of instances,

1065
00:58:38,040 --> 00:58:40,160
Speaker 1: the officials are just like, that's close enough, I'm not

1066
00:58:40,200 --> 00:58:43,760
Speaker 1: gonna throw it. That is a great philosophy for a

1067
00:58:43,800 --> 00:58:46,760
Speaker 1: team to have in those moments, and because all it does,

1068
00:58:46,880 --> 00:58:49,480
Speaker 1: it just gives them one more chance and gives the

1069
00:58:49,520 --> 00:58:52,600
Speaker 1: officials one more obligation to throw a flag and do

1070
00:58:52,680 --> 00:58:55,160
Speaker 1: it again. And then it starts to so they just

1071
00:58:55,200 --> 00:58:57,320
Speaker 1: play it that way, and I think it's a great strategy.

1072
00:58:58,160 --> 00:59:02,000
Speaker 1: It is. Listen more to the point, go last weekend.

1073
00:59:02,360 --> 00:59:06,040
Speaker 1: Go last weekend to Tennessee versus Baltimore. Marlin Humphrey got

1074
00:59:06,080 --> 00:59:08,640
Speaker 1: beat in the end zone, quote unquote, beat by A. J. Brown,

1075
00:59:08,920 --> 00:59:10,920
Speaker 1: who it looked like he pushed off, and I think

1076
00:59:10,920 --> 00:59:12,840
Speaker 1: in week four of the season, week ten of the season,

1077
00:59:12,880 --> 00:59:16,480
Speaker 1: they would call it. The referees, especially now, do not

1078
00:59:16,600 --> 00:59:19,400
Speaker 1: want to keep making those calls. It's really tough. So

1079
00:59:19,520 --> 00:59:22,280
Speaker 1: Marlin Humphrey got pushed off. Even aj Brown after he

1080
00:59:22,320 --> 00:59:24,960
Speaker 1: caught it, looked to the referee before he started celebrating,

1081
00:59:25,080 --> 00:59:26,920
Speaker 1: he thought he pushed off. Yeah, so I think that

1082
00:59:26,960 --> 00:59:29,760
Speaker 1: there was any week that Humphrey was bound to be like, no,

1083
00:59:29,960 --> 00:59:32,800
Speaker 1: that's not happening to me. Again, it's probably this weekend.

1084
00:59:32,800 --> 00:59:36,000
Speaker 1: It's most likely against Dicks. I don't know if there's

1085
00:59:36,160 --> 00:59:39,400
Speaker 1: any one area that you like here for the Bills,

1086
00:59:39,480 --> 00:59:43,320
Speaker 1: but it seems that most fans are concerned about Baltimore's

1087
00:59:43,360 --> 00:59:45,920
Speaker 1: offense than they are about Baltimore's defense. As far as

1088
00:59:45,960 --> 00:59:48,480
Speaker 1: the matchups go, it's almost like, hey, they've got more

1089
00:59:48,520 --> 00:59:50,400
Speaker 1: We've got more faith that our passing game will be

1090
00:59:50,400 --> 00:59:53,040
Speaker 1: able to do what it does. But as you mentioned, Kyle,

1091
00:59:53,080 --> 00:59:57,760
Speaker 1: I mean, these are physical corners that will push the

1092
00:59:57,840 --> 01:00:01,760
Speaker 1: limits of what draws a flag and you know, try

1093
01:00:01,800 --> 01:00:04,160
Speaker 1: to get away with it, and they're gonna I expect

1094
01:00:04,200 --> 01:00:06,160
Speaker 1: them to try to rough up the Bills a whole

1095
01:00:06,200 --> 01:00:10,479
Speaker 1: lot and use their blitz packages because they're the number

1096
01:00:10,480 --> 01:00:14,280
Speaker 1: one blitzing team in the league. They are, And listen,

1097
01:00:14,920 --> 01:00:18,120
Speaker 1: this team, this Baltimore team, not the twenty twenty team,

1098
01:00:18,160 --> 01:00:21,320
Speaker 1: but this regime. They've been to Buffalo before, They've been

1099
01:00:21,320 --> 01:00:23,520
Speaker 1: to Buffalo late in the season before, they've won in

1100
01:00:23,560 --> 01:00:26,240
Speaker 1: Buffalo before. Listen, we had to do it this morning.

1101
01:00:26,280 --> 01:00:28,120
Speaker 1: I didn't. I didn't want to do it, but my

1102
01:00:28,200 --> 01:00:31,600
Speaker 1: job demanded it. We showed the Lamar versus Matt Mulano

1103
01:00:31,760 --> 01:00:34,240
Speaker 1: play from last year. I mean, they've seen the speed,

1104
01:00:34,440 --> 01:00:37,040
Speaker 1: they've seen the quickness, they've been there. It's another reason

1105
01:00:37,120 --> 01:00:38,800
Speaker 1: why I don't love the matchup. I'm not saying I

1106
01:00:38,840 --> 01:00:40,560
Speaker 1: think Baltimore is gonna walk in there and on the place.

1107
01:00:40,640 --> 01:00:44,320
Speaker 1: But it's just we can talk stats, x's nose. I

1108
01:00:44,360 --> 01:00:47,480
Speaker 1: love that stuff. But there's this stat called juice, and

1109
01:00:47,560 --> 01:00:50,520
Speaker 1: there's this off the charts right now. Everyone clutched their

1110
01:00:50,560 --> 01:00:53,560
Speaker 1: pearls and shielded their children's eyes after they danced on

1111
01:00:53,600 --> 01:00:56,479
Speaker 1: the logo and Lamar ran off the field. To each

1112
01:00:56,720 --> 01:01:00,480
Speaker 1: team its own personality, they are feeling themselves right now.

1113
01:01:00,640 --> 01:01:03,760
Speaker 1: They feel kind of angry, they feel disrespected, and I

1114
01:01:03,800 --> 01:01:06,120
Speaker 1: know the Bills do too, and the Bills have the horses.

1115
01:01:06,120 --> 01:01:08,400
Speaker 1: But I just think Baltimore comes in with a head

1116
01:01:08,400 --> 01:01:12,120
Speaker 1: of steam and they're gonna it's I know, there's gonna

1117
01:01:12,120 --> 01:01:13,480
Speaker 1: be a lot of energy in the stadium with the

1118
01:01:13,480 --> 01:01:15,840
Speaker 1: sixty seven hundred fans. I think Baltimore is gonna bring

1119
01:01:15,880 --> 01:01:18,360
Speaker 1: their own to me because guys, this is the four

1120
01:01:18,400 --> 01:01:21,760
Speaker 1: games this weekend. I think this is the most competitive game. Yeah,

1121
01:01:21,800 --> 01:01:23,400
Speaker 1: I would agree with that, and I think it is

1122
01:01:23,400 --> 01:01:25,000
Speaker 1: gonna be. I think it's gonna be a really good game.

1123
01:01:25,040 --> 01:01:26,640
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna go down to, you know, be

1124
01:01:26,720 --> 01:01:28,320
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, and it's gonna be one of

1125
01:01:28,320 --> 01:01:31,160
Speaker 1: those games where somebody's got to do something special. What

1126
01:01:31,280 --> 01:01:33,880
Speaker 1: about you know, because we talk about it, what did

1127
01:01:33,880 --> 01:01:36,360
Speaker 1: you think of the Bills victory over the Colts? I

1128
01:01:36,520 --> 01:01:40,040
Speaker 1: was I thought they were really The Colts played great,

1129
01:01:40,720 --> 01:01:43,280
Speaker 1: They had a great game plan, they executed it almost

1130
01:01:43,280 --> 01:01:45,960
Speaker 1: to perfection. And there's like, and I've we've been there,

1131
01:01:45,960 --> 01:01:48,080
Speaker 1: the Bills were there last year in Houston. There's like,

1132
01:01:48,960 --> 01:01:52,120
Speaker 1: you pick six plays if they didn't even go the

1133
01:01:52,160 --> 01:01:55,120
Speaker 1: other way, you win the game. And that's kind of

1134
01:01:55,120 --> 01:01:57,840
Speaker 1: the way the Colts have to feel today. I think

1135
01:01:57,880 --> 01:02:00,760
Speaker 1: so too. Can I give you my my my game ball?

1136
01:02:00,800 --> 01:02:02,600
Speaker 1: Who I give it to on the Buffalo Bills from

1137
01:02:02,640 --> 01:02:05,720
Speaker 1: last week. It's not the usual suspect. I wouldn't give it.

1138
01:02:05,960 --> 01:02:07,880
Speaker 1: Diggs was great. I wouldn't give it to him. Gave

1139
01:02:08,000 --> 01:02:09,800
Speaker 1: Davis was great. I wouldn't give it to him. The

1140
01:02:09,920 --> 01:02:12,280
Speaker 1: game ball. If I was there handing it out to

1141
01:02:12,320 --> 01:02:14,000
Speaker 1: one of the players, I would give it to right

1142
01:02:14,080 --> 01:02:20,080
Speaker 1: tackle Darryl Williams recovering the damn fumble that made everybody's

1143
01:02:20,240 --> 01:02:23,600
Speaker 1: esophagus jump up into their throat. I gotta tell you,

1144
01:02:24,280 --> 01:02:27,200
Speaker 1: Alan does the sugar high thing. He made a cameo

1145
01:02:27,600 --> 01:02:29,880
Speaker 1: where he's trying to break twenty six tackles on one

1146
01:02:29,920 --> 01:02:33,160
Speaker 1: play them. Now, this isn't just a recovery. This is

1147
01:02:33,200 --> 01:02:36,240
Speaker 1: about to be a scoop and score for Indianapolis before

1148
01:02:36,360 --> 01:02:39,760
Speaker 1: big Darryl Williams Boomer Sooner jumps on the thing. I

1149
01:02:39,880 --> 01:02:44,479
Speaker 1: was reminded, guys, same team, Indianapolis. Jerome Bettis is playing

1150
01:02:44,520 --> 01:02:46,360
Speaker 1: one of the last games of his career, going into

1151
01:02:46,400 --> 01:02:49,000
Speaker 1: the end zone. The ball flies out, Indianapolis scoops and

1152
01:02:49,040 --> 01:02:53,520
Speaker 1: scores almost and Roethlisbergers somehow makes the tackle. Daryl Williams

1153
01:02:53,960 --> 01:02:57,280
Speaker 1: might have saved the city with this recovery, because if

1154
01:02:57,320 --> 01:02:59,120
Speaker 1: the Colts get that thing in the middle of the

1155
01:02:59,160 --> 01:03:01,360
Speaker 1: field and they got a short field to work with it,

1156
01:03:01,360 --> 01:03:03,520
Speaker 1: it might be it. And that fumble might send you

1157
01:03:03,560 --> 01:03:05,600
Speaker 1: to the offseason. So the hell with might be's it

1158
01:03:05,640 --> 01:03:08,080
Speaker 1: didn't happen. I just want to hype the big man,

1159
01:03:08,520 --> 01:03:11,320
Speaker 1: Darryl Williams on a team was Stefan Daggs and Josh Allen, You,

1160
01:03:11,480 --> 01:03:14,280
Speaker 1: my friend, get the game ball and maybe the key

1161
01:03:14,320 --> 01:03:16,360
Speaker 1: to the city if you finish this thing. Yeah, that's

1162
01:03:16,400 --> 01:03:20,560
Speaker 1: that's absolutely true. That was Oh my god, that was Yeah,

1163
01:03:20,600 --> 01:03:23,960
Speaker 1: that was that was watching a catastrophe about to happen

1164
01:03:24,400 --> 01:03:26,600
Speaker 1: for all the Bills fans when that when that ball

1165
01:03:26,640 --> 01:03:29,280
Speaker 1: popped out of there. I know. And even it's ironic

1166
01:03:29,320 --> 01:03:33,560
Speaker 1: too because then later that weekend Ben Roethlisberger didn't jump

1167
01:03:33,600 --> 01:03:35,440
Speaker 1: on a fumble that happened on the first place. It

1168
01:03:35,480 --> 01:03:37,840
Speaker 1: was all the football God's coming together. And I told

1169
01:03:37,880 --> 01:03:39,320
Speaker 1: you I was all over the map. Today I'm going

1170
01:03:39,320 --> 01:03:41,720
Speaker 1: back to Indianapolis Buffalo. One of the things the three

1171
01:03:41,760 --> 01:03:43,439
Speaker 1: of you guys were the three of us have talked

1172
01:03:43,440 --> 01:03:47,720
Speaker 1: about was about mid season after the Arizona game, was

1173
01:03:47,840 --> 01:03:52,200
Speaker 1: I was terrified at the bills hail Married defense. I said,

1174
01:03:52,240 --> 01:03:54,240
Speaker 1: just run the Hail Mary every time against the Bills.

1175
01:03:54,280 --> 01:03:57,360
Speaker 1: They can't stop it. And sure enough Phil Rivers comes

1176
01:03:57,400 --> 01:03:59,760
Speaker 1: out and maybe the last play of his career, and

1177
01:04:00,400 --> 01:04:02,080
Speaker 1: I was terrified again. I said, they're gonna get it.

1178
01:04:02,120 --> 01:04:04,680
Speaker 1: They're gonna get it. Thank god they did not put

1179
01:04:04,720 --> 01:04:07,680
Speaker 1: Jacoby percent in, as the announcers were openly saying during

1180
01:04:07,680 --> 01:04:10,160
Speaker 1: the game, because Phil land of the thing on about

1181
01:04:10,160 --> 01:04:11,760
Speaker 1: the five yard and I think it was Poyer who

1182
01:04:11,840 --> 01:04:15,040
Speaker 1: knocked it down, or maybe was Hide. I was terrified again.

1183
01:04:15,400 --> 01:04:18,040
Speaker 1: So my gosh, it was a great win. But my

1184
01:04:18,160 --> 01:04:20,760
Speaker 1: reaction to the game was it was a white knuckler

1185
01:04:20,760 --> 01:04:22,720
Speaker 1: in the second half. The Colts really had a good

1186
01:04:22,760 --> 01:04:26,840
Speaker 1: game plan. Steve, you're right, And then moving on to

1187
01:04:26,960 --> 01:04:29,360
Speaker 1: some of these other matchups from the past weekend, you

1188
01:04:29,480 --> 01:04:32,320
Speaker 1: gotta tell me what's in the water in Pittsburgh in

1189
01:04:32,360 --> 01:04:35,560
Speaker 1: the receiver's room, because whether you want to go, I mean,

1190
01:04:35,680 --> 01:04:37,920
Speaker 1: run down the list of receivers that have gone awry,

1191
01:04:38,040 --> 01:04:41,160
Speaker 1: There's there's plenty to choose from. But now Chase Claypool

1192
01:04:41,160 --> 01:04:44,160
Speaker 1: has decided to follow in Juju's wake. I mean, I

1193
01:04:44,240 --> 01:04:47,080
Speaker 1: just don't get it, like you lost the damn game.

1194
01:04:47,200 --> 01:04:50,240
Speaker 1: Why are you fanning flames here? It blows my mind?

1195
01:04:50,320 --> 01:04:54,440
Speaker 1: You got you want to make entertails of that one. No, neither.

1196
01:04:54,880 --> 01:04:58,040
Speaker 1: I would just say that aside from going on social

1197
01:04:58,040 --> 01:05:00,640
Speaker 1: media at TikTok and talking after the game, it was

1198
01:05:00,680 --> 01:05:03,280
Speaker 1: just a really bad take because what you're saying is

1199
01:05:03,720 --> 01:05:08,800
Speaker 1: his Chase Claypool said, well, Cleveland's gonna get destroyed this weekend. Well,

1200
01:05:08,840 --> 01:05:11,640
Speaker 1: Cleveland destroyed you, Chase, So what does that say about you?

1201
01:05:11,680 --> 01:05:13,720
Speaker 1: If the team that destroyed you gets destroyed? Are you

1202
01:05:13,800 --> 01:05:15,680
Speaker 1: the worst team in the league. It's it doesn't even

1203
01:05:15,720 --> 01:05:18,520
Speaker 1: make sense adding up and as it's a point to

1204
01:05:18,600 --> 01:05:22,880
Speaker 1: the bigger issue with Pittsburgh. Here's the thing, Juju won't

1205
01:05:22,920 --> 01:05:25,800
Speaker 1: shut up, I won't apologize. Chase Claypool puts his foot

1206
01:05:25,840 --> 01:05:28,560
Speaker 1: in it. And guess who's playing this weekend? And Tonio

1207
01:05:28,640 --> 01:05:30,800
Speaker 1: Brown and Levian Bell will both be in the field

1208
01:05:30,840 --> 01:05:35,439
Speaker 1: for playoff games this weekend, New atmosphere, new teams. Both

1209
01:05:35,480 --> 01:05:37,040
Speaker 1: of them have a really good look at getting to

1210
01:05:37,120 --> 01:05:39,080
Speaker 1: the super Bowl. And that was supposed to be the

1211
01:05:39,120 --> 01:05:43,080
Speaker 1: exodus that cleaned up Pittsburgh and get the troublemakers out

1212
01:05:43,080 --> 01:05:46,040
Speaker 1: of here allegedly and now will be fine. No, now, listen,

1213
01:05:46,320 --> 01:05:48,600
Speaker 1: I don't think that just because they're the Pittsburgh Steelers

1214
01:05:48,800 --> 01:05:51,200
Speaker 1: that everybody needs to act like me and Joe Green

1215
01:05:51,240 --> 01:05:53,640
Speaker 1: and Jack Lambert. I don't care. You could have new generations,

1216
01:05:53,680 --> 01:05:56,160
Speaker 1: do whatever you want. But god, they looked dumb. And

1217
01:05:56,280 --> 01:05:58,440
Speaker 1: Mike Tomins at what point does he throw a chair

1218
01:05:58,640 --> 01:06:00,919
Speaker 1: and say enough of this? BS tired of it? Because

1219
01:06:00,920 --> 01:06:03,040
Speaker 1: he's a really bad look right now. And they just

1220
01:06:03,080 --> 01:06:06,760
Speaker 1: got absolutely hammered on their home field. And we were

1221
01:06:06,760 --> 01:06:09,840
Speaker 1: talking about the young quarterbacks. They've got Ben Roethlisberger, who

1222
01:06:10,120 --> 01:06:12,560
Speaker 1: he threw for five h one in the game, And

1223
01:06:15,400 --> 01:06:18,640
Speaker 1: how do you look like you're finished and throw for

1224
01:06:18,760 --> 01:06:22,280
Speaker 1: five hundred and one yards? I know that's I think

1225
01:06:22,320 --> 01:06:25,080
Speaker 1: he's I think he threw like sixty eight passes to you.

1226
01:06:25,120 --> 01:06:27,480
Speaker 1: I mean it was. It was absolutely insane because they

1227
01:06:27,520 --> 01:06:29,960
Speaker 1: just started chucking it. And look, I was swinging out

1228
01:06:29,960 --> 01:06:32,000
Speaker 1: of my shoes Monday morning after the game as I

1229
01:06:32,040 --> 01:06:35,240
Speaker 1: was wearing a Sioni Taki Takie jersey, my favorite Browns player.

1230
01:06:35,800 --> 01:06:39,280
Speaker 1: I sat here and listen, I don't work sources. I

1231
01:06:39,360 --> 01:06:41,480
Speaker 1: just I watched the games and I have my intuition

1232
01:06:41,480 --> 01:06:44,080
Speaker 1: and it served me well. I think this was Roethlisberger's

1233
01:06:44,120 --> 01:06:46,120
Speaker 1: last football game. I looked at him at the end

1234
01:06:46,120 --> 01:06:48,960
Speaker 1: of that game. He looked completely miserable. And I have

1235
01:06:49,080 --> 01:06:52,080
Speaker 1: to tell you, I thought Roethlisberger looked miserable when they

1236
01:06:52,080 --> 01:06:54,600
Speaker 1: were eleven and oh, I don't even know if he's

1237
01:06:54,680 --> 01:06:58,680
Speaker 1: enjoying being out there. Emotional, proud guy. Don't get me wrong,

1238
01:06:58,960 --> 01:07:01,720
Speaker 1: total respect for his career. But I watched him play

1239
01:07:01,760 --> 01:07:03,800
Speaker 1: and I see him as a man with a young

1240
01:07:03,880 --> 01:07:06,520
Speaker 1: family and a beat up body. I have a feeling

1241
01:07:06,600 --> 01:07:08,440
Speaker 1: that is his last game. I really do. I think

1242
01:07:08,440 --> 01:07:10,200
Speaker 1: that's the end of it. Yeah, and I get it too.

1243
01:07:10,200 --> 01:07:12,880
Speaker 1: There's always we always have to talk about the financial hit.

1244
01:07:12,960 --> 01:07:15,480
Speaker 1: When you talk about that, he's forty one million against

1245
01:07:15,480 --> 01:07:18,680
Speaker 1: the cap. If he stays, he's only twenty one, he's

1246
01:07:18,720 --> 01:07:21,160
Speaker 1: forty two. If he stays forty one, twenty one. If

1247
01:07:21,160 --> 01:07:27,560
Speaker 1: he leaves that one, that has twenty one mineezing at

1248
01:07:27,600 --> 01:07:30,160
Speaker 1: twenty one million. Well, I mean that's a different it's

1249
01:07:30,520 --> 01:07:33,800
Speaker 1: half of that if I and that's still a fat number.

1250
01:07:33,880 --> 01:07:38,560
Speaker 1: It is now The problem is this never I if

1251
01:07:38,640 --> 01:07:40,480
Speaker 1: I'm a coach or GM or an owner, for sure,

1252
01:07:40,640 --> 01:07:44,520
Speaker 1: I never move on unless I have a proper replacement.

1253
01:07:44,840 --> 01:07:48,280
Speaker 1: They have nothing there. Mason Rudolph is not the answer.

1254
01:07:48,600 --> 01:07:50,960
Speaker 1: They have nobody on that roster that can that can

1255
01:07:51,000 --> 01:07:55,520
Speaker 1: do it. What do they do well? We might have

1256
01:07:55,600 --> 01:07:58,120
Speaker 1: the exact same question for the Indianapolis Colts that might

1257
01:07:58,120 --> 01:08:00,160
Speaker 1: have been fills last game. I mean that they those

1258
01:08:00,160 --> 01:08:04,280
Speaker 1: guys might go out together. Listen. I think this offseason

1259
01:08:04,320 --> 01:08:08,440
Speaker 1: with quarterbacks is going to be bonkers. I really do.

1260
01:08:08,560 --> 01:08:12,360
Speaker 1: Because you not only have the sexy quarterback draft, of

1261
01:08:12,400 --> 01:08:14,480
Speaker 1: which maybe in won every three or four years is

1262
01:08:14,480 --> 01:08:16,559
Speaker 1: one of them. We got it this year. You just

1263
01:08:16,600 --> 01:08:18,880
Speaker 1: got guys who I don't predict the future, but I

1264
01:08:18,960 --> 01:08:21,920
Speaker 1: know that when you have new coaches, as you do

1265
01:08:22,000 --> 01:08:25,639
Speaker 1: in places like Detroit, in places like Atlanta, those guys

1266
01:08:25,760 --> 01:08:27,920
Speaker 1: might say, listen, we're gonna start fresh. I don't know

1267
01:08:27,960 --> 01:08:30,000
Speaker 1: if I want to go back in with Matt Stafford

1268
01:08:30,080 --> 01:08:32,920
Speaker 1: or Matt Ryan or mister Bisky or Sam Darnold. I

1269
01:08:32,920 --> 01:08:35,360
Speaker 1: mean it's a really long list. I don't even know

1270
01:08:35,600 --> 01:08:38,200
Speaker 1: there's more names to it. So if you look at someone,

1271
01:08:38,240 --> 01:08:40,840
Speaker 1: if you believe things like oh, Indianapolis is going to

1272
01:08:40,920 --> 01:08:43,040
Speaker 1: make the power move for Carson Wentz, Well twenty four

1273
01:08:43,080 --> 01:08:45,400
Speaker 1: hours ago that made sense, and then Doug Pearson got fired.

1274
01:08:45,640 --> 01:08:48,280
Speaker 1: So my point is, if you're Pittsburgh and Ben hangs

1275
01:08:48,320 --> 01:08:50,280
Speaker 1: them up, I agree with you, Steve. I think that

1276
01:08:50,360 --> 01:08:52,160
Speaker 1: Tomin has made it pretty clear what he thinks about

1277
01:08:52,200 --> 01:08:55,200
Speaker 1: Mason Rudolph and it's not a ton. I think that

1278
01:08:54,720 --> 01:08:57,200
Speaker 1: they could be players. And whether it's one of these

1279
01:08:57,280 --> 01:08:59,519
Speaker 1: veterans or they go and trade up in the draft,

1280
01:08:59,720 --> 01:09:02,000
Speaker 1: there's about twelve teams who might have a say in

1281
01:09:02,040 --> 01:09:04,160
Speaker 1: this thing. The super Bowl is gonna happen in Tampa,

1282
01:09:04,240 --> 01:09:05,960
Speaker 1: and then the Quarterback super Bowl is gonna happen in

1283
01:09:06,000 --> 01:09:09,360
Speaker 1: the spring, right, last one for me, Kyle. I think

1284
01:09:09,439 --> 01:09:12,479
Speaker 1: Josh to a great degree carried this team to victory

1285
01:09:12,600 --> 01:09:14,360
Speaker 1: last week when a lot of other elements of the

1286
01:09:14,400 --> 01:09:16,880
Speaker 1: team were not at their best. We know that coach

1287
01:09:16,960 --> 01:09:20,720
Speaker 1: McDermott is good at course correction with his players the

1288
01:09:20,720 --> 01:09:23,679
Speaker 1: following week after what might be perceived as a down

1289
01:09:23,720 --> 01:09:26,840
Speaker 1: performance or a performance that's not up to standards. But

1290
01:09:26,920 --> 01:09:28,599
Speaker 1: I still think Josh is going to have to come

1291
01:09:28,680 --> 01:09:31,720
Speaker 1: up with some special plays kind of like he did

1292
01:09:31,840 --> 01:09:36,040
Speaker 1: last week. So how much of that is realistic to

1293
01:09:36,120 --> 01:09:39,720
Speaker 1: be an equalizer this weekend? Against a Ravens team that,

1294
01:09:39,800 --> 01:09:41,599
Speaker 1: as you've even admitted, is going to be a tough

1295
01:09:41,680 --> 01:09:45,160
Speaker 1: row to hoe for the Bills. It's a great question, Brownie.

1296
01:09:45,200 --> 01:09:47,840
Speaker 1: And obviously he's got to be great, because I mean,

1297
01:09:47,920 --> 01:09:50,840
Speaker 1: Lamar has an unbelievably frustrating thing where he could play

1298
01:09:51,760 --> 01:09:54,400
Speaker 1: three and a half average or bad quarters and still

1299
01:09:54,439 --> 01:09:56,840
Speaker 1: take your breath away and end your season with half

1300
01:09:56,880 --> 01:09:59,920
Speaker 1: a quarter. I think the key to this game obviously

1301
01:10:00,200 --> 01:10:02,280
Speaker 1: Josh Ess to be great. It's a starting quarterback. I

1302
01:10:02,439 --> 01:10:05,400
Speaker 1: think this game will be won and loss on offense

1303
01:10:05,479 --> 01:10:09,080
Speaker 1: for the Buffalo Bills by the likes of Gabriel Davis,

1304
01:10:09,280 --> 01:10:13,120
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox, John Brown, maybe Cole Beasley. I think Diggs

1305
01:10:13,200 --> 01:10:14,960
Speaker 1: is gonna have his hands full as good as he's been,

1306
01:10:15,360 --> 01:10:18,280
Speaker 1: this is the game you win with your complimentary of

1307
01:10:18,320 --> 01:10:21,120
Speaker 1: players on offense. I need huge catches from those guys,

1308
01:10:21,160 --> 01:10:22,840
Speaker 1: and I know you got it from Davis last week.

1309
01:10:23,200 --> 01:10:24,920
Speaker 1: I just don't know it. This is the game you

1310
01:10:24,960 --> 01:10:26,519
Speaker 1: can count on one hundred and ten yards and a

1311
01:10:26,560 --> 01:10:29,080
Speaker 1: touchdown from Diggs. Their corners are too good. I just

1312
01:10:29,160 --> 01:10:31,120
Speaker 1: think I'm looking for those guys to step up over

1313
01:10:31,200 --> 01:10:33,280
Speaker 1: in Green Bay, they say the same thing about the

1314
01:10:33,320 --> 01:10:35,640
Speaker 1: guys around Davante Adams. When are we gonna get the

1315
01:10:35,680 --> 01:10:38,760
Speaker 1: Marquez Beeldez Scantling game or the Robert Tonyan game. I

1316
01:10:38,880 --> 01:10:41,799
Speaker 1: think that is this game for Buffalo. Yeah, that sounds

1317
01:10:43,120 --> 01:10:48,040
Speaker 1: sounds amazingly well thought out and logical. We'll see or

1318
01:10:48,120 --> 01:10:50,160
Speaker 1: it maybe just Stefon Diggs goes for one hundred and

1319
01:10:50,240 --> 01:10:52,400
Speaker 1: ninety yards and they wint by twenty god willing. Yeah,

1320
01:10:52,439 --> 01:10:57,280
Speaker 1: what do we do? All Right, I'm done, You're you're

1321
01:10:57,360 --> 01:11:00,479
Speaker 1: you're good done. Wow, he's good, He's heard enough. Hey, Steve,

1322
01:11:00,840 --> 01:11:03,360
Speaker 1: are you are you emotional this week? Are you nervous?

1323
01:11:03,560 --> 01:11:06,719
Speaker 1: He was nervous last week? He couldn't even sleep last

1324
01:11:06,760 --> 01:11:10,320
Speaker 1: You should go back and listen to the radio call

1325
01:11:10,479 --> 01:11:15,160
Speaker 1: for the game at the moment when what's that receiver's

1326
01:11:15,240 --> 01:11:17,920
Speaker 1: name for them that he got up and followed the

1327
01:11:18,280 --> 01:11:22,000
Speaker 1: Pascal when Pascal caught it, went down, got back. Go

1328
01:11:22,120 --> 01:11:23,840
Speaker 1: back and listen to the radio call of me and

1329
01:11:23,960 --> 01:11:26,360
Speaker 1: Murph on that I was climbing the wall. It was

1330
01:11:26,439 --> 01:11:30,799
Speaker 1: like Ruth Bader Ginsberg on al River was beside myself

1331
01:11:31,479 --> 01:11:35,120
Speaker 1: and oh yeah, I got I probably deserve to be

1332
01:11:35,200 --> 01:11:39,200
Speaker 1: sent to the principal's office for it. But still that's

1333
01:11:39,360 --> 01:11:42,680
Speaker 1: now I got to hear it. Yeah, he went, he

1334
01:11:42,760 --> 01:11:44,880
Speaker 1: went trying to calm you down or jail send it

1335
01:11:44,920 --> 01:11:48,120
Speaker 1: to you. But yeah, it was I was. It was

1336
01:11:48,160 --> 01:11:50,040
Speaker 1: like nothing I've ever done before on the air. Yeah,

1337
01:11:50,080 --> 01:11:52,240
Speaker 1: he went Homer with a capital H O M E R.

1338
01:11:52,400 --> 01:11:55,360
Speaker 1: So yeah, I did. Well, you didn't want to go

1339
01:11:55,479 --> 01:11:57,519
Speaker 1: down like that. If you lose, you lose. But you

1340
01:11:57,560 --> 01:11:59,760
Speaker 1: didn't want to go down exactly. That's correct. Yeah, And

1341
01:12:00,680 --> 01:12:03,280
Speaker 1: and we've done it. It's happened before, so I know,

1342
01:12:03,520 --> 01:12:05,880
Speaker 1: I know. That's why the scab is a one you

1343
01:12:05,920 --> 01:12:08,960
Speaker 1: don't want to pick, especially with Steve. But thank you

1344
01:12:09,040 --> 01:12:11,360
Speaker 1: as always for the time, Kyle. Another great segment with

1345
01:12:11,400 --> 01:12:14,280
Speaker 1: Good Morning Football's Kyle Brandt. Kyle, it's been really fun

1346
01:12:14,360 --> 01:12:17,440
Speaker 1: talking Bills with you every week. You're basically an honorary

1347
01:12:17,600 --> 01:12:20,160
Speaker 1: member of Bill's Mafia at this point. We'll see you

1348
01:12:20,240 --> 01:12:24,160
Speaker 1: next week. Thank you, Brownie, you're the best. Twenty seven

1349
01:12:24,680 --> 01:12:27,639
Speaker 1: twenty six Bills on a game winning kick by Tyler Bass.

1350
01:12:27,760 --> 01:12:33,360
Speaker 1: Oh look at that little more silly throughout there, a

1351
01:12:33,520 --> 01:12:37,000
Speaker 1: fifty seven yard or I don't know if twenty eight

1352
01:12:37,080 --> 01:12:40,200
Speaker 1: degrees do it. So that if you're gonna say it,

1353
01:12:40,320 --> 01:12:42,760
Speaker 1: say it, all right, I don't care. I hope it's

1354
01:12:42,840 --> 01:12:48,519
Speaker 1: eighteen yards, but a right, an eighteen yard field goals?

1355
01:12:48,520 --> 01:12:51,120
Speaker 1: All right, I'll give you that. Hey, you know what

1356
01:12:51,280 --> 01:12:55,599
Speaker 1: went by the board, Tyler bess Um fifty four yard

1357
01:12:55,680 --> 01:12:59,080
Speaker 1: or large longest rookie? Well, yes, longest field goal by

1358
01:12:59,080 --> 01:13:01,960
Speaker 1: a rookie. Now, I'm gonna now, I'm gonna not trust

1359
01:13:02,080 --> 01:13:05,920
Speaker 1: my own memory. He had a tackle on a on

1360
01:13:06,040 --> 01:13:09,439
Speaker 1: a return. Was that Was that the playoff game? Or

1361
01:13:09,479 --> 01:13:12,519
Speaker 1: was that the Miami game? In week that one? He

1362
01:13:12,680 --> 01:13:16,160
Speaker 1: knifed across and like submarine, the guy made a tackle.

1363
01:13:16,400 --> 01:13:17,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to look it up. It might have

1364
01:13:17,720 --> 01:13:20,080
Speaker 1: been week seven. Sematic. I don't. I don't trust my

1365
01:13:20,200 --> 01:13:24,000
Speaker 1: memory anymore. So bass kicker did that, Yes, Basmatic, he

1366
01:13:24,080 --> 01:13:28,080
Speaker 1: looked great. Tyler kicks. He threw himself in there. What

1367
01:13:28,160 --> 01:13:29,639
Speaker 1: are the names do I have for that guy? Murph

1368
01:13:29,640 --> 01:13:31,000
Speaker 1: and I have gone back and forth. Oh my god.

1369
01:13:31,040 --> 01:13:33,519
Speaker 1: I an eagle was dialing it up in Arizona when

1370
01:13:33,520 --> 01:13:37,760
Speaker 1: he had the he had Bassmatic Athematic and he said, Man,

1371
01:13:37,880 --> 01:13:43,720
Speaker 1: that's good bass. That's good bass bass kicker, Yeah, Bassematic,

1372
01:13:45,000 --> 01:13:48,160
Speaker 1: Tyler kicking bass. I just call him tea Bass tea Bass,

1373
01:13:48,320 --> 01:13:50,880
Speaker 1: just like they used to do with Sebastian Janetkowski. Remember

1374
01:13:50,920 --> 01:13:53,320
Speaker 1: they called him Sea Bass. Yeah, I call him tea Bass.

1375
01:13:53,560 --> 01:13:56,240
Speaker 1: But who am I to say. I'm checking to see

1376
01:13:56,240 --> 01:13:59,360
Speaker 1: if he had a special teams tackle last week. You're

1377
01:13:59,439 --> 01:14:02,040
Speaker 1: proud of it. I'm not seeing it, but oh, yes,

1378
01:14:02,200 --> 01:14:04,600
Speaker 1: there it is Special Teams. It was last week. It

1379
01:14:04,760 --> 01:14:08,160
Speaker 1: was on a return and the guy came up, yeah,

1380
01:14:08,439 --> 01:14:11,320
Speaker 1: pretty far up the field, like almost midfield, and he

1381
01:14:11,479 --> 01:14:13,599
Speaker 1: just kind of knifed in. I think he was hiding behind,

1382
01:14:14,080 --> 01:14:16,519
Speaker 1: you know, one of the trailing guys covering the kick,

1383
01:14:16,760 --> 01:14:19,040
Speaker 1: and the returner never saw him, and by the time

1384
01:14:19,080 --> 01:14:21,120
Speaker 1: he was on him, he was kind of, you know,

1385
01:14:21,240 --> 01:14:24,160
Speaker 1: going submarine with the shoulder kind of thing and totally

1386
01:14:24,240 --> 01:14:27,280
Speaker 1: upended the guy. It was a great play for a kicker.

1387
01:14:27,439 --> 01:14:29,960
Speaker 1: It was a nice play. Let it go, Tider Bass.

1388
01:14:30,360 --> 01:14:32,760
Speaker 1: Another reason he's one of my favorite. I mean, he

1389
01:14:32,920 --> 01:14:34,439
Speaker 1: was I'll put it to you this way. He was

1390
01:14:34,640 --> 01:14:38,160
Speaker 1: more aggressive then I was anticipating. You know, sometimes the

1391
01:14:38,280 --> 01:14:41,639
Speaker 1: kickers just try to latch on and hang on or yeah,

1392
01:14:41,720 --> 01:14:43,720
Speaker 1: or just kind of latch on or something. It just

1393
01:14:45,560 --> 01:14:47,720
Speaker 1: as somebody else will come take him down. But man,

1394
01:14:47,800 --> 01:14:50,040
Speaker 1: he just knifed right in there. He's super aggressive. I

1395
01:14:50,479 --> 01:14:53,400
Speaker 1: loved it. Yeah, I love when kickers go against the norm.

1396
01:14:53,439 --> 01:14:55,920
Speaker 1: It was great. All right, good segment with Kyle Brandt.

1397
01:14:55,960 --> 01:14:57,760
Speaker 1: We'll take a break. But when we come back, your

1398
01:14:57,840 --> 01:15:02,320
Speaker 1: phone calls as we're asking you basically today about this

1399
01:15:02,520 --> 01:15:05,639
Speaker 1: matchup on Saturday, which is more important in Saturday's game

1400
01:15:05,920 --> 01:15:08,360
Speaker 1: with the Ravens and why their offense against the Bills

1401
01:15:08,400 --> 01:15:11,360
Speaker 1: defense or the Bills offense against the Ravens defense. Tell

1402
01:15:11,479 --> 01:15:15,080
Speaker 1: us what's you're concerned about, confident with and let us

1403
01:15:15,120 --> 01:15:17,040
Speaker 1: know why. We'll be back in a moment here on

1404
01:15:17,120 --> 01:15:19,240
Speaker 1: One Bills Live presented by Kalid to Health, It's Buffalo

1405
01:15:19,280 --> 01:15:34,880
Speaker 1: Bills Radio. Welcome image, the One Bills Live. Chris Browns

1406
01:15:34,920 --> 01:15:38,840
Speaker 1: stage Yeah to reveal second half of the program under way,

1407
01:15:39,880 --> 01:15:43,080
Speaker 1: and well, Kyle brand thinks it's going to be tight.

1408
01:15:43,880 --> 01:15:46,760
Speaker 1: It doesn't like the matchup. Matchup. This is I told

1409
01:15:46,800 --> 01:15:50,240
Speaker 1: you this, Brownie. There have been about of the sixteen

1410
01:15:50,360 --> 01:15:53,120
Speaker 1: seventeen of the seventeen games we've played, I bet you

1411
01:15:54,040 --> 01:15:59,920
Speaker 1: I've had serious doubts in half of them. Over under

1412
01:16:00,040 --> 01:16:03,519
Speaker 1: he's eight and a half six eight and a half games.

1413
01:16:03,560 --> 01:16:06,400
Speaker 1: I said before the playoffs matchups were even said, I

1414
01:16:06,439 --> 01:16:11,000
Speaker 1: don't want Baltimore early, right, That's why I was rooting

1415
01:16:11,040 --> 01:16:14,000
Speaker 1: for Pittsburgh. They're playing we can handle. I was too,

1416
01:16:14,160 --> 01:16:16,880
Speaker 1: without an issue. Yeah, but once you get to this point,

1417
01:16:17,560 --> 01:16:20,040
Speaker 1: there are no games really going to be everybody's good

1418
01:16:20,120 --> 01:16:22,120
Speaker 1: I mean good grief, but there it is. But that's

1419
01:16:22,200 --> 01:16:24,559
Speaker 1: and you would think too that you know you're gonna

1420
01:16:24,920 --> 01:16:28,200
Speaker 1: at sometime crash into you know, the Baltimore Ravens, the

1421
01:16:28,280 --> 01:16:30,840
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs, or you know the Tennessee Titans, whoever

1422
01:16:31,320 --> 01:16:35,000
Speaker 1: you know those those to me Bill's Chiefs, and then

1423
01:16:35,000 --> 01:16:39,400
Speaker 1: it'd be you know, Titans, Baltimore, Baltimore Titans in the

1424
01:16:39,640 --> 01:16:41,720
Speaker 1: this playoff round is are the ones. But then I

1425
01:16:41,840 --> 01:16:44,559
Speaker 1: found out the Colts deserved to be in that conversation too.

1426
01:16:44,640 --> 01:16:46,240
Speaker 1: I think the Colts were much better team than the

1427
01:16:46,280 --> 01:16:49,120
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers this year. The way I would agree with that,

1428
01:16:49,200 --> 01:16:50,720
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, I would agree with a

1429
01:16:50,840 --> 01:16:54,680
Speaker 1: much better foot balanced team team. When you think about this,

1430
01:16:54,920 --> 01:16:58,120
Speaker 1: if the if the Indianapolis Colts don't drop a flop

1431
01:16:58,200 --> 01:17:01,439
Speaker 1: of a game on opening Day, they're twelve and four,

1432
01:17:02,280 --> 01:17:04,640
Speaker 1: they win the division. They win the division. Well, then

1433
01:17:04,640 --> 01:17:08,800
Speaker 1: they're playing in Baltimore. But so, I mean, I don't

1434
01:17:08,800 --> 01:17:10,960
Speaker 1: know if they're beating them either. Think about it. I mean,

1435
01:17:11,000 --> 01:17:14,800
Speaker 1: they're they're really there. They would be an incredible that

1436
01:17:14,840 --> 01:17:17,439
Speaker 1: would be an incredible story. And we would have been

1437
01:17:17,479 --> 01:17:19,519
Speaker 1: playing who who would we have been We've been playing, uh,

1438
01:17:20,600 --> 01:17:23,960
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh or Baltimore. We would Cleveland or Cleveland. Yeah, we

1439
01:17:24,080 --> 01:17:27,160
Speaker 1: want But anyway, that's you know, that's that team in

1440
01:17:27,240 --> 01:17:32,600
Speaker 1: Indianapolis to me is you know, top six team in

1441
01:17:32,640 --> 01:17:35,840
Speaker 1: the in the league. They were really good. They were

1442
01:17:35,840 --> 01:17:37,600
Speaker 1: a good team. And I and I'm not surprised that

1443
01:17:37,640 --> 01:17:41,600
Speaker 1: they want Philip Rivers back. Why why go out on

1444
01:17:41,640 --> 01:17:43,599
Speaker 1: the limb, Like we said, he threw for forty one

1445
01:17:43,680 --> 01:17:47,560
Speaker 1: hundred yards, twenty four touchdowns, ten picks, the picks of

1446
01:17:47,800 --> 01:17:50,920
Speaker 1: diagnosing defenses. There's nothing he hasn't seen. But they got

1447
01:17:51,080 --> 01:17:53,280
Speaker 1: and they got a team around him. I think if

1448
01:17:53,280 --> 01:17:54,800
Speaker 1: you bring in a guys, think about this. If you

1449
01:17:54,920 --> 01:17:56,560
Speaker 1: bring in a guy like say they go out and

1450
01:17:56,640 --> 01:18:00,360
Speaker 1: they get Matt Stafford from Detroit, Detroit's gonna wipe the slate.

1451
01:18:01,000 --> 01:18:03,639
Speaker 1: You get a Matt Stafford. I like Stafford better than Rivers.

1452
01:18:03,680 --> 01:18:08,040
Speaker 1: Oh I do too, do do they have the weapons

1453
01:18:08,120 --> 01:18:11,680
Speaker 1: outside for Matt Stafford to be successful, or do they

1454
01:18:11,720 --> 01:18:14,599
Speaker 1: ask or do they ask him to throw the dink

1455
01:18:14,640 --> 01:18:18,040
Speaker 1: and dunk thing like they do Philip Rivers, I wouldn't

1456
01:18:18,240 --> 01:18:19,560
Speaker 1: because there were a lot of rep There were some

1457
01:18:19,640 --> 01:18:25,519
Speaker 1: reps in that game on Saturday. No eligible receiver for

1458
01:18:25,560 --> 01:18:28,120
Speaker 1: the Colts was fifteen more than fifteen yards down the field. Yeah,

1459
01:18:28,120 --> 01:18:31,320
Speaker 1: and you could tell the Bills defensive backs were not

1460
01:18:31,560 --> 01:18:34,599
Speaker 1: respecting any threat of getting the ball thrown over their

1461
01:18:34,640 --> 01:18:38,280
Speaker 1: heads at any point in time, So they were squatting

1462
01:18:38,320 --> 01:18:42,960
Speaker 1: on stuff. And yeah, it's it limits you. I mean,

1463
01:18:43,160 --> 01:18:45,800
Speaker 1: as much as Rivers gives you, there are also those

1464
01:18:45,880 --> 01:18:48,800
Speaker 1: limitations that are very right and that every defense in

1465
01:18:48,840 --> 01:18:51,920
Speaker 1: the league are all too aware of. Right. So if

1466
01:18:51,960 --> 01:18:54,080
Speaker 1: you can coach around it, great, If not, well then

1467
01:18:54,120 --> 01:18:55,880
Speaker 1: you got to figure it out. Let's get back to

1468
01:18:55,920 --> 01:18:57,880
Speaker 1: the phones. We go to Tom and cheek o waga. Tom,

1469
01:18:57,920 --> 01:19:00,960
Speaker 1: what do you have for us? You're on one Bills live. Uh.

1470
01:19:01,320 --> 01:19:03,599
Speaker 1: First of all, no one wants to play the Fellows

1471
01:19:03,640 --> 01:19:08,120
Speaker 1: and nobody wants to play the Ravens. I think whoever

1472
01:19:08,240 --> 01:19:11,560
Speaker 1: wins this game Saturday is going to go to the

1473
01:19:11,640 --> 01:19:15,599
Speaker 1: super Bowl and win. If we could hold it, runaway

1474
01:19:15,720 --> 01:19:18,960
Speaker 1: freight train Lamar Jackson and play our regular game. We

1475
01:19:19,080 --> 01:19:21,479
Speaker 1: got a chance to win. But I think these are

1476
01:19:21,560 --> 01:19:26,280
Speaker 1: the two most probably gifted teams in the league. And

1477
01:19:27,360 --> 01:19:29,720
Speaker 1: I may be wrong, but if if Ravens win, they're

1478
01:19:29,760 --> 01:19:32,000
Speaker 1: gonna win the super Bowl. Buffalo wins, I think they'll

1479
01:19:32,040 --> 01:19:34,439
Speaker 1: go all the way to what you think? What about

1480
01:19:34,479 --> 01:19:39,000
Speaker 1: Kansas City? Oh, Kansas City is not as great as

1481
01:19:39,080 --> 01:19:41,599
Speaker 1: you think they are. They're then that as potent. I mean,

1482
01:19:41,680 --> 01:19:44,000
Speaker 1: the last couple of games, they're a great team. They're

1483
01:19:44,000 --> 01:19:47,200
Speaker 1: a great team. But I think Lamar for cran No,

1484
01:19:47,320 --> 01:19:50,559
Speaker 1: I don't know one can stap him. Yeah he's uh.

1485
01:19:51,040 --> 01:19:53,439
Speaker 1: I hope it's not a nerve racking game like last

1486
01:19:53,479 --> 01:19:56,320
Speaker 1: week because I can't take any of those. Well, you better,

1487
01:19:56,479 --> 01:20:00,200
Speaker 1: you better strap in Tom, because Tom, it's all this lead.

1488
01:20:00,240 --> 01:20:01,960
Speaker 1: Or when you win those though, that's the way it goes,

1489
01:20:02,040 --> 01:20:04,240
Speaker 1: you feel like you beat somebody special. You may want

1490
01:20:04,240 --> 01:20:06,800
Speaker 1: to take your blood pressure medication before you watch this

1491
01:20:06,880 --> 01:20:10,040
Speaker 1: one because I think it's gonna be tight too. I

1492
01:20:10,040 --> 01:20:12,120
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be really tight. I think the bill,

1493
01:20:12,200 --> 01:20:14,000
Speaker 1: I think both teams are gonna be stressed, and I

1494
01:20:14,040 --> 01:20:16,760
Speaker 1: think that's a good thing for the Bills because I

1495
01:20:16,880 --> 01:20:19,880
Speaker 1: think most people outside of Buffalo in Western New York

1496
01:20:19,920 --> 01:20:22,040
Speaker 1: are of the opinion that if it's not closed, Baltimore

1497
01:20:22,120 --> 01:20:24,040
Speaker 1: is ahead comfortably. I think that's what a lot of

1498
01:20:24,080 --> 01:20:28,880
Speaker 1: the outside observers believe will happen if it's not a

1499
01:20:28,960 --> 01:20:33,240
Speaker 1: close game. So if it's close, I don't mind that.

1500
01:20:33,920 --> 01:20:35,479
Speaker 1: I don't mind that. If they're right in it, I

1501
01:20:35,479 --> 01:20:40,799
Speaker 1: don't mind that because I quite honestly will be surprised

1502
01:20:40,840 --> 01:20:43,759
Speaker 1: if either one of these teams runs away from the other. Obviously,

1503
01:20:43,840 --> 01:20:45,800
Speaker 1: if one team has a bad day with turnovers, that

1504
01:20:45,880 --> 01:20:49,960
Speaker 1: could happen. But I see this as a nip and

1505
01:20:50,000 --> 01:20:52,519
Speaker 1: tuck game, and I really think it's a fifty fifty.

1506
01:20:52,800 --> 01:20:54,920
Speaker 1: It's a coin toss game. I really think. Yeah, even

1507
01:20:54,960 --> 01:20:57,320
Speaker 1: if even being in Buffalo, I think it's a coin

1508
01:20:57,400 --> 01:21:05,680
Speaker 1: toss game. Yeah, it's yeah, you've and I think it

1509
01:21:05,680 --> 01:21:07,080
Speaker 1: should be that way. When you get to the division

1510
01:21:07,160 --> 01:21:09,040
Speaker 1: round of the NFL playoffs, you should be in a

1511
01:21:09,360 --> 01:21:11,320
Speaker 1: game against somebody that you you got a lot of

1512
01:21:11,360 --> 01:21:12,880
Speaker 1: respect for and you know you got to play well

1513
01:21:12,920 --> 01:21:14,519
Speaker 1: to be That's the way it should be, and that's

1514
01:21:14,520 --> 01:21:17,519
Speaker 1: where the Bills find themselves. That's and it's someplace where

1515
01:21:17,560 --> 01:21:19,600
Speaker 1: Bills fans. We haven't been for twenty five years, so

1516
01:21:19,800 --> 01:21:22,360
Speaker 1: it's it's new to a lot of us and hard

1517
01:21:22,439 --> 01:21:25,760
Speaker 1: to remember for the rest of us. For our board up,

1518
01:21:25,800 --> 01:21:27,360
Speaker 1: I'm not sure who we've got an erie, So if

1519
01:21:27,360 --> 01:21:28,720
Speaker 1: we could get a name up there, we can get

1520
01:21:28,760 --> 01:21:30,439
Speaker 1: to him next. But in the meantime we'll go to

1521
01:21:30,600 --> 01:21:33,080
Speaker 1: Roy in Arcade. Roy, what do you have for us?

1522
01:21:33,120 --> 01:21:36,880
Speaker 1: You're on one Bills live. Hey, just real quickly. I

1523
01:21:37,000 --> 01:21:39,800
Speaker 1: went to the first game that the rock pile in

1524
01:21:39,960 --> 01:21:42,479
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty and I've been a fan ever since then,

1525
01:21:42,760 --> 01:21:46,920
Speaker 1: and except when I was overseas. Second thing, the Bills

1526
01:21:47,000 --> 01:21:52,439
Speaker 1: have to focus on getting to the quarterback norther than

1527
01:21:52,479 --> 01:21:54,800
Speaker 1: they've done in any other game, because I saw him

1528
01:21:54,840 --> 01:22:00,200
Speaker 1: on Prussure last week and the offensive wine scoot. The

1529
01:22:00,280 --> 01:22:03,200
Speaker 1: defensive lines gotta get to the quarterback one way or

1530
01:22:03,240 --> 01:22:07,040
Speaker 1: the other and contain him. They can contain him, they

1531
01:22:07,080 --> 01:22:09,880
Speaker 1: can win the game. I No, I have plenty of

1532
01:22:09,960 --> 01:22:12,760
Speaker 1: confidence in the offense. I think the offense has to

1533
01:22:12,880 --> 01:22:19,400
Speaker 1: focus on first downs, not thirty yard passes, and avoid

1534
01:22:19,520 --> 01:22:25,040
Speaker 1: those third, long, third and fourth situations. All right, that

1535
01:22:25,120 --> 01:22:28,519
Speaker 1: sounds good to me. Roy, I will say that while

1536
01:22:28,520 --> 01:22:31,120
Speaker 1: the pass rush is important, you have to be supremely

1537
01:22:31,200 --> 01:22:36,200
Speaker 1: disciplined in how you rush Lamar Jackson. The Titans found

1538
01:22:36,240 --> 01:22:38,599
Speaker 1: that out the hard way last week because they had

1539
01:22:38,680 --> 01:22:41,200
Speaker 1: him back there for three or four seconds, and I

1540
01:22:41,280 --> 01:22:43,439
Speaker 1: think he was even on a seven step drop, which

1541
01:22:43,439 --> 01:22:46,200
Speaker 1: you don't even see that often anymore, and then he

1542
01:22:46,320 --> 01:22:49,040
Speaker 1: stepped up in the pocket. Guys ran past him and

1543
01:22:49,200 --> 01:22:51,840
Speaker 1: off he goes, and he's scooting forty eight yards to

1544
01:22:51,920 --> 01:22:57,120
Speaker 1: the end zone. So the number one word for defense

1545
01:22:57,240 --> 01:22:59,640
Speaker 1: this week is discipline, not only in terms of your

1546
01:22:59,720 --> 01:23:02,519
Speaker 1: rush lanes when you're trying to get after Lamar Jackson,

1547
01:23:03,000 --> 01:23:05,360
Speaker 1: but discipline in terms of all the eye candy that's

1548
01:23:05,400 --> 01:23:07,519
Speaker 1: flashing in front of you with these guys pretty snap.

1549
01:23:07,960 --> 01:23:10,479
Speaker 1: You have to be supremely disciplined this week on the

1550
01:23:10,520 --> 01:23:12,720
Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball, have your eyes in the

1551
01:23:12,840 --> 01:23:16,080
Speaker 1: right place so you can execute your assignments. And the

1552
01:23:16,200 --> 01:23:19,439
Speaker 1: Bills have been, for the most part, pretty good with that.

1553
01:23:21,840 --> 01:23:25,080
Speaker 1: Lamar obviously adds another dimension to the discipline you have

1554
01:23:25,240 --> 01:23:28,479
Speaker 1: to have here, but man, it's you're gonna have to

1555
01:23:28,560 --> 01:23:30,760
Speaker 1: mind your p's and q's on every single snap because

1556
01:23:30,760 --> 01:23:33,040
Speaker 1: if you fall asleep for one play, it could be

1557
01:23:33,160 --> 01:23:34,680
Speaker 1: the big play that means a difference in the game,

1558
01:23:34,760 --> 01:23:37,320
Speaker 1: and Tennessee fell prey to that about Well, it was

1559
01:23:37,360 --> 01:23:40,000
Speaker 1: just a handful of plays. And that's the way. That's

1560
01:23:40,040 --> 01:23:43,800
Speaker 1: why it's so difficult to defend Baltimore for four quarters. Yeah,

1561
01:23:44,160 --> 01:23:47,280
Speaker 1: you do a great job for sixty one of sixty

1562
01:23:47,320 --> 01:23:49,600
Speaker 1: five offensive plays, and the four plays you miss are

1563
01:23:49,600 --> 01:23:53,479
Speaker 1: all touchdowns. And you know they can be as long

1564
01:23:53,560 --> 01:23:55,559
Speaker 1: as eighty five yards or they may be as short

1565
01:23:55,600 --> 01:23:59,080
Speaker 1: as eight eight inches one way or the other. Lamar

1566
01:23:59,200 --> 01:24:01,400
Speaker 1: is gonna make you pay for work. Yeah, so you

1567
01:24:01,520 --> 01:24:04,400
Speaker 1: gotta that's the field you gotta defend. Yeah, let's go

1568
01:24:04,520 --> 01:24:07,000
Speaker 1: to Adam in Erie. Adam, what do you have for us?

1569
01:24:07,040 --> 01:24:10,599
Speaker 1: You're on One Bill's Live. Hey, guys, I gotta tell

1570
01:24:10,600 --> 01:24:12,439
Speaker 1: you it's a it's a thrill to be on the show.

1571
01:24:12,439 --> 01:24:14,120
Speaker 1: I listen to you guys all the time, and I'm

1572
01:24:14,120 --> 01:24:15,960
Speaker 1: always afraid to call him, So I'm pumped to be on.

1573
01:24:16,040 --> 01:24:21,080
Speaker 1: You guys are great. Well, I just got I mean,

1574
01:24:21,120 --> 01:24:23,120
Speaker 1: obviously it's hard to follow Kyle Brant and I'll do

1575
01:24:23,200 --> 01:24:25,800
Speaker 1: my best. Um, I gotta say I love what you

1576
01:24:25,920 --> 01:24:28,200
Speaker 1: said about you know, a lot of people are coming

1577
01:24:28,240 --> 01:24:31,400
Speaker 1: in saying that the important matchup is argue versus their offense.

1578
01:24:31,479 --> 01:24:34,200
Speaker 1: But I think it's very much so our offense versus

1579
01:24:34,240 --> 01:24:37,720
Speaker 1: their defense, because we've seen Lamar struggle before when he's

1580
01:24:37,720 --> 01:24:39,560
Speaker 1: got to come back from big leads, you know, like

1581
01:24:39,720 --> 01:24:43,479
Speaker 1: over ten or more points, because he struggles when he's

1582
01:24:43,479 --> 01:24:45,240
Speaker 1: got to throw every down. And I think that I

1583
01:24:45,320 --> 01:24:47,360
Speaker 1: know our defense is different than it was last year,

1584
01:24:47,400 --> 01:24:50,360
Speaker 1: but I think a great example of why it's more

1585
01:24:50,400 --> 01:24:55,639
Speaker 1: important to put up more points than because Lamar's playmaking ability.

1586
01:24:55,680 --> 01:24:59,160
Speaker 1: He's gonna make plays. We saw the three big, biggest

1587
01:24:59,160 --> 01:25:03,200
Speaker 1: plays from last year, obviously when he threw the touchdown

1588
01:25:03,240 --> 01:25:05,240
Speaker 1: on the goal line, falling off his backflow with the

1589
01:25:05,320 --> 01:25:08,000
Speaker 1: guy right in his face, touchdown, Like he's gonna make

1590
01:25:08,080 --> 01:25:10,080
Speaker 1: plays like that, like he did against Tennessee where he

1591
01:25:10,160 --> 01:25:13,600
Speaker 1: scrambled for a yard touchdown. Everybody's breath taken away. I

1592
01:25:13,680 --> 01:25:17,000
Speaker 1: just think that it's so important for our offense against

1593
01:25:17,000 --> 01:25:20,439
Speaker 1: a very good Ravens defense to put up those points

1594
01:25:20,479 --> 01:25:22,600
Speaker 1: to keep pressure on them because if they can have

1595
01:25:22,760 --> 01:25:24,559
Speaker 1: a lead or even be in the game, they're gonna

1596
01:25:24,640 --> 01:25:28,000
Speaker 1: run all down our throats the whole game. Yeah, it's

1597
01:25:28,000 --> 01:25:30,560
Speaker 1: a good point. And certainly the Bills have shown the

1598
01:25:30,600 --> 01:25:34,800
Speaker 1: ability to do that. Josh has got four touchdown games

1599
01:25:34,880 --> 01:25:37,559
Speaker 1: against a lot of the top defenses in the league.

1600
01:25:37,600 --> 01:25:40,000
Speaker 1: I mean, the Bills aren't shouldn't be scared of that.

1601
01:25:40,120 --> 01:25:43,800
Speaker 1: They've done a nice job scoring points on teams with

1602
01:25:44,000 --> 01:25:48,240
Speaker 1: really good defenses. And the Ravens defense for the regular

1603
01:25:48,280 --> 01:25:50,519
Speaker 1: season through you know, throughout the year, their number seven

1604
01:25:50,560 --> 01:25:53,200
Speaker 1: and given up yards a game. They're number eight against

1605
01:25:53,280 --> 01:25:56,400
Speaker 1: the run, their number six against the pass. They're number

1606
01:25:56,439 --> 01:25:59,439
Speaker 1: two on third down defense, they're number nine and fourth

1607
01:25:59,520 --> 01:26:03,600
Speaker 1: down defense, and their number one in point differential, and

1608
01:26:03,720 --> 01:26:06,679
Speaker 1: their second in points allout and their second in points allout.

1609
01:26:06,760 --> 01:26:11,120
Speaker 1: So it's hard to score on them. And they score.

1610
01:26:11,280 --> 01:26:13,720
Speaker 1: They score, but not not They don't play out of

1611
01:26:13,760 --> 01:26:16,880
Speaker 1: the water every week, but they score consistently enough. Now

1612
01:26:17,040 --> 01:26:20,559
Speaker 1: I will say this, you get a hefty lead on them,

1613
01:26:21,240 --> 01:26:24,360
Speaker 1: you know, I'm talking fourteen seventeen points. I don't know

1614
01:26:24,439 --> 01:26:26,800
Speaker 1: that that necessarily changes the course of who they are,

1615
01:26:26,920 --> 01:26:31,120
Speaker 1: because they really can't change. That's what I think their offense.

1616
01:26:31,320 --> 01:26:34,360
Speaker 1: Their offense is what it is. Yeah, and I think, yeah,

1617
01:26:34,400 --> 01:26:36,400
Speaker 1: that's the book that Adam's trying to make. If you

1618
01:26:36,479 --> 01:26:40,439
Speaker 1: get up fourteen seventeen points. The Ravens are going to

1619
01:26:40,479 --> 01:26:45,320
Speaker 1: be hard pressed to catch up in time, knowing the

1620
01:26:45,479 --> 01:26:50,919
Speaker 1: methodical way that they usually play offense, absent the amazing

1621
01:26:51,040 --> 01:26:53,920
Speaker 1: play that Lamar Jackson could turn in every now and then.

1622
01:26:54,120 --> 01:26:56,000
Speaker 1: I mean, you think about the game last year. Here,

1623
01:26:56,800 --> 01:27:00,400
Speaker 1: Lamar is not doing anything right and then the sixty

1624
01:27:00,439 --> 01:27:03,320
Speaker 1: one yard pass comes and it's like, oh, the son

1625
01:27:03,400 --> 01:27:05,479
Speaker 1: of a gun, Like, what the hell do we have

1626
01:27:05,560 --> 01:27:08,720
Speaker 1: to do to stop this guy? Because he may not

1627
01:27:08,840 --> 01:27:11,160
Speaker 1: do anything, as Steve said, for two and a half quarters,

1628
01:27:11,600 --> 01:27:14,160
Speaker 1: and then that one play is a gigantic play that

1629
01:27:14,280 --> 01:27:16,760
Speaker 1: swings the course of the game. If you're up seventeen,

1630
01:27:17,200 --> 01:27:20,000
Speaker 1: you can still get one of those and be okay.

1631
01:27:21,040 --> 01:27:23,760
Speaker 1: And it's interesting too, what would they're off. You don't

1632
01:27:23,800 --> 01:27:26,000
Speaker 1: get a chance to see it because even in this

1633
01:27:26,120 --> 01:27:28,240
Speaker 1: last game they were down ten points to Tennessee this

1634
01:27:28,360 --> 01:27:30,800
Speaker 1: last weekend, but it was it was like in the

1635
01:27:31,080 --> 01:27:34,599
Speaker 1: first quarter, so they knew they had plenty of time

1636
01:27:35,280 --> 01:27:36,960
Speaker 1: to bat out and just do be who they are.

1637
01:27:37,080 --> 01:27:40,160
Speaker 1: Now you the trick, and it's a trick every game. Obviously,

1638
01:27:40,200 --> 01:27:43,080
Speaker 1: you want to be up by seventeen deep in the

1639
01:27:43,200 --> 01:27:47,760
Speaker 1: third where they're gonna have to have three possessions at

1640
01:27:47,840 --> 01:27:49,599
Speaker 1: least to get back in it and then hold you off.

1641
01:27:49,880 --> 01:27:51,680
Speaker 1: You know you that's where you want to because that's

1642
01:27:51,720 --> 01:27:54,200
Speaker 1: the only way they change. They're not going to change.

1643
01:27:54,240 --> 01:27:57,639
Speaker 1: If they're trading by ten or fourteen in the first half,

1644
01:27:57,760 --> 01:28:00,559
Speaker 1: that will that will not phase them because they feel

1645
01:28:00,600 --> 01:28:02,439
Speaker 1: like they can make that up being who they are.

1646
01:28:02,760 --> 01:28:04,880
Speaker 1: If you want to get them out of it, it's

1647
01:28:04,920 --> 01:28:06,200
Speaker 1: got to get out of hand like it did for

1648
01:28:06,640 --> 01:28:09,040
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh against Cleveland this last week. You gotta start turning

1649
01:28:09,080 --> 01:28:10,840
Speaker 1: it over and they gotta get down twenty eight nothing

1650
01:28:10,920 --> 01:28:14,080
Speaker 1: or thirty five seven at half. Then you get them

1651
01:28:14,120 --> 01:28:16,040
Speaker 1: out of it. But nobody does that to these guys.

1652
01:28:16,080 --> 01:28:18,639
Speaker 1: I mean, that's crazy, Todd. Usually that's crazy talk break

1653
01:28:18,680 --> 01:28:20,240
Speaker 1: time for us. When we come back, we'll get to

1654
01:28:20,320 --> 01:28:22,280
Speaker 1: more of your phone calls. Jeff and Buffalo, Tom and

1655
01:28:22,320 --> 01:28:24,720
Speaker 1: san Antonio. Hang tight, we'll get to you when we return. Here.

1656
01:28:24,760 --> 01:28:26,640
Speaker 1: On one Bill's Live, presented by Collid to Health, It's

1657
01:28:26,680 --> 01:28:43,640
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills Radio nine four Reads Milestones, Reads Gens, the

1658
01:28:43,720 --> 01:28:46,960
Speaker 1: official jeweler the Buffalo Bills. Bills quarterback Josh Allen became

1659
01:28:47,240 --> 01:28:50,559
Speaker 1: the only NFL player ever to throw for three hundred

1660
01:28:50,560 --> 01:28:54,479
Speaker 1: plus yards, have a seventy plus completion percentage, and rush

1661
01:28:54,520 --> 01:28:58,640
Speaker 1: for fifty plus yards in a playoff game. How about that.

1662
01:29:00,000 --> 01:29:01,519
Speaker 1: We want to get right back to the phone calls

1663
01:29:01,520 --> 01:29:03,360
Speaker 1: because we don't have a ton of time here, and

1664
01:29:03,680 --> 01:29:05,720
Speaker 1: we go to Jeff in Buffalo. Jeff, what do you

1665
01:29:05,760 --> 01:29:10,080
Speaker 1: have for us? You're on one Bill's Live. Hi, am

1666
01:29:10,160 --> 01:29:13,000
Speaker 1: I on? You are on, Jeff? Go ahead, Jeff Great.

1667
01:29:14,120 --> 01:29:20,440
Speaker 1: I have a question guys about running back. In week seventeen,

1668
01:29:20,560 --> 01:29:24,479
Speaker 1: came in in the second half, Antonio Williams, yep, came in,

1669
01:29:24,720 --> 01:29:27,519
Speaker 1: and I thought he looked great. He you know, he

1670
01:29:27,680 --> 01:29:30,240
Speaker 1: blasted through the line. He gave him something different than

1671
01:29:30,680 --> 01:29:34,080
Speaker 1: Moss and single Tarry give him. And I thought he

1672
01:29:34,160 --> 01:29:36,600
Speaker 1: did a really nice job in week seventeen. And I

1673
01:29:36,640 --> 01:29:39,360
Speaker 1: guess he's back on the practice squad now I'm imagining

1674
01:29:39,920 --> 01:29:42,800
Speaker 1: and I'm wondering now with Moss out, why not why

1675
01:29:42,880 --> 01:29:45,439
Speaker 1: not bringing him up and give him you know, I mean,

1676
01:29:45,520 --> 01:29:48,080
Speaker 1: he can see. He seems to be able to make

1677
01:29:48,200 --> 01:29:52,519
Speaker 1: his own holes, which is something that you know, I mean,

1678
01:29:52,640 --> 01:29:55,519
Speaker 1: you know, the offensive line, our line, I don't know

1679
01:29:55,680 --> 01:29:58,559
Speaker 1: that our run blocking I don't think is the greatest

1680
01:30:00,040 --> 01:30:03,080
Speaker 1: and guys are just not getting a little bit of

1681
01:30:03,160 --> 01:30:06,000
Speaker 1: air single time him. A little bit of air could

1682
01:30:06,000 --> 01:30:09,679
Speaker 1: be great, but he's not getting the air. He's running

1683
01:30:09,680 --> 01:30:11,759
Speaker 1: into guys and not being able to get through. Whereas

1684
01:30:11,800 --> 01:30:14,240
Speaker 1: Williams looked like he was blown. He was blowing through

1685
01:30:14,360 --> 01:30:17,040
Speaker 1: guys and he looked great. And I'm just wondering why,

1686
01:30:17,439 --> 01:30:19,720
Speaker 1: you know, he hasn't been in the consideration for them.

1687
01:30:20,360 --> 01:30:22,960
Speaker 1: Well he is, Yeah, They just they're not going to

1688
01:30:23,040 --> 01:30:25,439
Speaker 1: make that move until they have to. They're not going

1689
01:30:25,479 --> 01:30:28,280
Speaker 1: to tell the Baltimore Ravens what their plans are and

1690
01:30:28,400 --> 01:30:32,040
Speaker 1: what they did. They signed DeVante Freeman off the street,

1691
01:30:32,160 --> 01:30:35,320
Speaker 1: who was with the Giants this year. He was waved

1692
01:30:35,439 --> 01:30:39,240
Speaker 1: injured from them. Uh they and so you still have

1693
01:30:39,720 --> 01:30:42,479
Speaker 1: you still have t J. Yeldon as well. So and

1694
01:30:42,640 --> 01:30:45,960
Speaker 1: I know that t J. Yelden doesn't turn heads, you

1695
01:30:46,000 --> 01:30:47,360
Speaker 1: know in Buffalo, because he's been here for a while

1696
01:30:47,360 --> 01:30:49,920
Speaker 1: and he hasn't gotten on the field. But a lot

1697
01:30:49,960 --> 01:30:52,800
Speaker 1: of people are worried wondering about Antonio Williams and what

1698
01:30:52,960 --> 01:30:54,960
Speaker 1: he can bring because of the great game he did

1699
01:30:55,040 --> 01:30:59,040
Speaker 1: have on on Week seventeen against the Dolphins. Right, so

1700
01:30:59,479 --> 01:31:03,400
Speaker 1: they're there were some roster moves today. But when Sean

1701
01:31:03,479 --> 01:31:09,559
Speaker 1: McDermott was asked, he mentioned three names. He mentioned Antonio Williams,

1702
01:31:09,800 --> 01:31:13,280
Speaker 1: t J. Yelden, and Christian Wade. He mentioned Christian Wade,

1703
01:31:13,320 --> 01:31:17,000
Speaker 1: but Wade is not eligible to play, but you know,

1704
01:31:17,439 --> 01:31:19,559
Speaker 1: and they got Taiwan Jones as well, So what they're

1705
01:31:19,600 --> 01:31:22,280
Speaker 1: really worried about is just making sure they have enough

1706
01:31:22,320 --> 01:31:24,360
Speaker 1: bodies that if something happens, they got enough somebody who

1707
01:31:24,400 --> 01:31:25,720
Speaker 1: can finish the game. But they want that guy to

1708
01:31:25,760 --> 01:31:29,960
Speaker 1: be as good as he can get. If Antonio Williams

1709
01:31:30,080 --> 01:31:35,479
Speaker 1: is elevated, it's in large part to me, Brownie, because

1710
01:31:35,520 --> 01:31:38,280
Speaker 1: of Week seventeen. Well, yeah, and we actually have a

1711
01:31:38,360 --> 01:31:40,439
Speaker 1: comment from coach McDermot that I want to play now.

1712
01:31:41,080 --> 01:31:44,639
Speaker 1: This was his comment about the running backs he's gotten

1713
01:31:44,680 --> 01:31:47,320
Speaker 1: left to choose from. This was before the DeVante Freeman

1714
01:31:47,400 --> 01:31:50,120
Speaker 1: pick up on the practice squad obviously, and what he

1715
01:31:50,240 --> 01:31:55,040
Speaker 1: thought of Antonio Williams Week seventeen performance. It doesn't always

1716
01:31:55,160 --> 01:31:57,160
Speaker 1: work out like that, but we're fortunate that it is.

1717
01:31:57,200 --> 01:32:00,439
Speaker 1: So we can take a look at Antonio and certainly

1718
01:32:01,040 --> 01:32:03,200
Speaker 1: he's certainly popped, you know, in terms of when you

1719
01:32:03,240 --> 01:32:05,160
Speaker 1: looked at the film and when you felt them down

1720
01:32:05,200 --> 01:32:08,599
Speaker 1: there on game days, so great experience for a young

1721
01:32:08,680 --> 01:32:11,560
Speaker 1: man that has worked. He really worked hard, and I

1722
01:32:11,640 --> 01:32:13,400
Speaker 1: thought that was one of the cool pieces about that

1723
01:32:13,439 --> 01:32:14,960
Speaker 1: week was we were able to give some guys that

1724
01:32:15,040 --> 01:32:17,960
Speaker 1: have busted their tails all season long and chance to

1725
01:32:19,000 --> 01:32:20,639
Speaker 1: go out there and show us with what they got.

1726
01:32:20,840 --> 01:32:22,800
Speaker 1: And we've got a lot of confidence in TJ as well,

1727
01:32:22,880 --> 01:32:24,439
Speaker 1: and he's played in a lot of games of the

1728
01:32:24,479 --> 01:32:26,639
Speaker 1: course of his career and rightfully so it's a good

1729
01:32:26,680 --> 01:32:28,720
Speaker 1: back and we've got a lot of trust in Paith,

1730
01:32:30,240 --> 01:32:34,240
Speaker 1: so I think he's giving both guys consideration. And as

1731
01:32:34,280 --> 01:32:36,960
Speaker 1: Steve and I said on this show yesterday, the guy

1732
01:32:37,040 --> 01:32:40,360
Speaker 1: that's up could very well come down to who performed

1733
01:32:40,400 --> 01:32:43,400
Speaker 1: better in practice this week, who knew all the blitz pickups,

1734
01:32:43,479 --> 01:32:46,519
Speaker 1: who knew the past protections, who knew that stuff. Now,

1735
01:32:47,160 --> 01:32:49,640
Speaker 1: it's probably going to be Devin Singletary in a lot

1736
01:32:49,720 --> 01:32:53,479
Speaker 1: of those obvious passing down situations, because he is pretty

1737
01:32:53,520 --> 01:32:57,080
Speaker 1: good at that. But I think the guy that performs

1738
01:32:57,120 --> 01:32:59,520
Speaker 1: better in practice this week may very well get the opportunity.

1739
01:32:59,560 --> 01:33:02,400
Speaker 1: And if they're is one thing in Antonio Williams skill

1740
01:33:02,520 --> 01:33:05,640
Speaker 1: set that is not in TJ. Eldon's skill set it

1741
01:33:05,840 --> 01:33:10,920
Speaker 1: is explosiveness. He does have an explosive first step and

1742
01:33:11,040 --> 01:33:12,840
Speaker 1: he gets through the hole a little bit quicker than

1743
01:33:13,000 --> 01:33:15,840
Speaker 1: him or Singletary. So if that's what they feel they

1744
01:33:15,920 --> 01:33:19,360
Speaker 1: need in this particular matchup this week, it's not out

1745
01:33:19,400 --> 01:33:22,080
Speaker 1: of the realm of possibility. And it may be as well.

1746
01:33:22,560 --> 01:33:25,160
Speaker 1: They usually go with just three running backs. It's just

1747
01:33:25,760 --> 01:33:28,760
Speaker 1: Zach Moss, Motor Singletary, and Taiwan Jones. And of course

1748
01:33:28,800 --> 01:33:31,240
Speaker 1: Taiwan Jones is Special Team's ace and he's very good

1749
01:33:31,280 --> 01:33:34,880
Speaker 1: at it. It may be that if they feel the

1750
01:33:35,040 --> 01:33:38,679
Speaker 1: need to activate another running back, can go with four

1751
01:33:40,080 --> 01:33:43,240
Speaker 1: or go with three with Zach Moss. It may be

1752
01:33:43,360 --> 01:33:45,760
Speaker 1: if it is whether Antonio Williams can play special teams

1753
01:33:45,760 --> 01:33:49,000
Speaker 1: a little bit, Yeah, because t J. Eldon doesn't, right,

1754
01:33:49,120 --> 01:33:52,280
Speaker 1: t J. Yeldonses not. That's what hurts him. So because

1755
01:33:52,320 --> 01:33:56,200
Speaker 1: of all of that, there's a lot going on. Certainly,

1756
01:33:57,439 --> 01:33:59,599
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens are going to be aware that Antonio Williams

1757
01:33:59,640 --> 01:34:01,760
Speaker 1: could be activated, but they'll also be aware that he's

1758
01:34:01,760 --> 01:34:03,840
Speaker 1: a rookie and he's undrafted, and they're gonna get it.

1759
01:34:04,200 --> 01:34:05,920
Speaker 1: You know. They'll probably give him something to think about

1760
01:34:06,400 --> 01:34:08,479
Speaker 1: if he's on there in a passing down. They'll probably

1761
01:34:08,520 --> 01:34:11,120
Speaker 1: blitz him see if he can pass pro um that

1762
01:34:11,280 --> 01:34:13,880
Speaker 1: kind of thing, because that's really the question. So all right,

1763
01:34:13,920 --> 01:34:16,280
Speaker 1: break time for us. But when we come back, one

1764
01:34:16,439 --> 01:34:20,000
Speaker 1: Ross Tucker we'll be joining us as we get his

1765
01:34:20,120 --> 01:34:23,320
Speaker 1: thoughts on the a f C, n NFC playoff landscape.

1766
01:34:23,600 --> 01:34:26,800
Speaker 1: We have eight teams remaining. We'll talk to us next

1767
01:34:26,840 --> 01:34:28,680
Speaker 1: here on one Bill's Line, presented by Kalid to Health.

1768
01:34:28,720 --> 01:34:49,559
Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bill's Radio at a Steve Tasker who has

1769
01:34:49,640 --> 01:34:51,960
Speaker 1: been all over the fields. Kind of unique. He was

1770
01:34:52,040 --> 01:34:55,719
Speaker 1: kind of a dual role player for you, Steve, Steve

1771
01:34:57,200 --> 01:35:01,480
Speaker 1: a blimp. We're not even in the stret year of normalcy.

1772
01:35:03,520 --> 01:35:06,800
Speaker 1: Our number three of the program, and without any further ado,

1773
01:35:07,680 --> 01:35:10,440
Speaker 1: we bring in the man who has been waiting patiently

1774
01:35:10,560 --> 01:35:14,479
Speaker 1: through the break through the update and it is one

1775
01:35:14,800 --> 01:35:18,200
Speaker 1: Ross Tucker who was joining us now and we want

1776
01:35:18,240 --> 01:35:20,160
Speaker 1: to get a lay of the land from Ross on

1777
01:35:20,280 --> 01:35:25,360
Speaker 1: the playoff landscape. And uh, you know, he's kind of

1778
01:35:25,400 --> 01:35:26,880
Speaker 1: taken in the rest of the league. He's also going

1779
01:35:26,920 --> 01:35:28,840
Speaker 1: to do the game this week for Westwood One. This

1780
01:35:28,920 --> 01:35:30,559
Speaker 1: is a second week in a row, isn't it? Ross?

1781
01:35:32,160 --> 01:35:35,400
Speaker 1: It is? Yeah, was able to do the Colts Bills game,

1782
01:35:35,479 --> 01:35:38,200
Speaker 1: which was awesome. This is the second week in a

1783
01:35:38,320 --> 01:35:41,120
Speaker 1: row where I think the Bills game is the game

1784
01:35:41,160 --> 01:35:42,880
Speaker 1: of the week. I mean, last week I thought the

1785
01:35:42,960 --> 01:35:46,679
Speaker 1: two best games were the two one o'clock games Colts

1786
01:35:46,760 --> 01:35:50,360
Speaker 1: Bills and Titans Ravens. Now the winners of those two

1787
01:35:50,439 --> 01:35:53,400
Speaker 1: games play against each other Saturday night. Again, I think

1788
01:35:53,439 --> 01:35:55,080
Speaker 1: it's the best game. Second week in a row where

1789
01:35:55,080 --> 01:35:57,360
Speaker 1: I think I got the best game. Yeah, this is

1790
01:35:57,400 --> 01:36:01,680
Speaker 1: a game that we're over here in Western New York

1791
01:36:01,680 --> 01:36:05,360
Speaker 1: and the team has played well. The offense has been gangbusters. Certainly,

1792
01:36:05,880 --> 01:36:08,360
Speaker 1: the Colts had a phenomenal game plan. The Bills couldn't

1793
01:36:08,360 --> 01:36:10,280
Speaker 1: get the football, couldn't get any field position in the

1794
01:36:10,320 --> 01:36:12,519
Speaker 1: first half, still managed to go in with the lead,

1795
01:36:13,160 --> 01:36:16,320
Speaker 1: and Brownie, I've been talking about it A little under

1796
01:36:16,360 --> 01:36:19,559
Speaker 1: the radar in that game was how well Josh Allen

1797
01:36:19,680 --> 01:36:23,280
Speaker 1: played and how much the entire team depended on him

1798
01:36:23,320 --> 01:36:26,960
Speaker 1: to make it go. Yeah. I mean, I tweeted I

1799
01:36:27,080 --> 01:36:30,680
Speaker 1: think Steve at halftime at Ross Tucker NFL that the

1800
01:36:30,840 --> 01:36:36,120
Speaker 1: Colts were dominating ten to fourteen, right, I mean they

1801
01:36:36,200 --> 01:36:39,000
Speaker 1: really were. I mean, they were totally controlling the action

1802
01:36:40,200 --> 01:36:42,560
Speaker 1: I still can't believe on third and one at the

1803
01:36:42,640 --> 01:36:45,439
Speaker 1: goal line, with that interior old line and with Jonathan

1804
01:36:45,520 --> 01:36:49,320
Speaker 1: Taylor that Frank Reich or whoever called a toss crack,

1805
01:36:49,800 --> 01:36:51,720
Speaker 1: I'll never get over that. Then fourth down or I

1806
01:36:51,800 --> 01:36:54,120
Speaker 1: think kicked the field goal, then they throw it. I mean,

1807
01:36:54,439 --> 01:36:57,240
Speaker 1: it's hard for me to imagine that the Colts would

1808
01:36:57,240 --> 01:36:59,800
Speaker 1: not have scored a touchdown if they ran the ball

1809
01:36:59,840 --> 01:37:01,519
Speaker 1: at John than Taylor up the middle on third and

1810
01:37:01,640 --> 01:37:05,479
Speaker 1: fourth down, but they didn't. So you know, it's one

1811
01:37:05,479 --> 01:37:07,840
Speaker 1: of those things, guys, where you can look at it

1812
01:37:07,880 --> 01:37:10,240
Speaker 1: and say, man, the Colts were the better team. The

1813
01:37:10,360 --> 01:37:13,720
Speaker 1: Colts dominated the action, but they didn't win. And what

1814
01:37:13,880 --> 01:37:16,200
Speaker 1: matters is whether or not you win. And the Bills won.

1815
01:37:16,800 --> 01:37:19,760
Speaker 1: And I'm not sure we can take all that much

1816
01:37:20,280 --> 01:37:23,200
Speaker 1: from last week and extrap laid to this week. And

1817
01:37:23,280 --> 01:37:26,920
Speaker 1: I say that because in the six games prior, the

1818
01:37:27,080 --> 01:37:29,240
Speaker 1: Bills had won every game by at least ten points,

1819
01:37:29,400 --> 01:37:32,000
Speaker 1: and the Colts really didn't look that great, and their

1820
01:37:32,080 --> 01:37:36,080
Speaker 1: last six quarters against the Steelers and then that Jags game,

1821
01:37:36,160 --> 01:37:38,680
Speaker 1: and yet it didn't matter for that one day on Saturday,

1822
01:37:39,160 --> 01:37:41,360
Speaker 1: I thought the Colts got the better of the action,

1823
01:37:41,520 --> 01:37:44,439
Speaker 1: but they lost, So I don't know how much stock

1824
01:37:44,560 --> 01:37:47,519
Speaker 1: we can put in how the team's played last weekend

1825
01:37:47,680 --> 01:37:50,920

1831
01:38:08,240 --> 01:38:12,479
Speaker 1: looking at this weekend, Ross, if you're a Bills fan,

1832
01:38:13,000 --> 01:38:15,360
Speaker 1: let's just say, hypothetically, you're a Bills fan looking at

1833
01:38:15,400 --> 01:38:18,760
Speaker 1: this thing, what would give you the greatest consternation with

1834
01:38:18,960 --> 01:38:24,120
Speaker 1: the matchup? Probably that the Bills defense could not slow

1835
01:38:24,200 --> 01:38:27,479
Speaker 1: down the Colts really at all, and the Ravens offense

1836
01:38:27,640 --> 01:38:30,759
Speaker 1: is better, and the Ravens are running the people, running

1837
01:38:30,800 --> 01:38:33,439
Speaker 1: over people at will at this point, Man, this is

1838
01:38:33,479 --> 01:38:36,519
Speaker 1: a tough matchup for the Bills. I gotta tell you,

1839
01:38:36,800 --> 01:38:40,080
Speaker 1: you know, I really did not think Cleveland would beat Pittsburgh.

1840
01:38:40,640 --> 01:38:43,720
Speaker 1: I thought this game would be Steelers Bills. Yeah, And

1841
01:38:43,840 --> 01:38:46,400
Speaker 1: I thought the Chiefs would have a tough matchup with

1842
01:38:46,640 --> 01:38:49,800
Speaker 1: the Ravens because for the last few weeks guys. People

1843
01:38:49,880 --> 01:38:52,280
Speaker 1: have been saying, hey, Ross, game may beat the Chiefs.

1844
01:38:52,320 --> 01:38:54,680
Speaker 1: Game may beat the Chiefs. My answer has been, Yeah,

1845
01:38:54,880 --> 01:38:57,439
Speaker 1: the Bills and the Ravens. The Bills and the Ravens

1846
01:38:57,479 --> 01:38:59,920
Speaker 1: are the two hottest teams in the NFL. They're bill

1847
01:39:00,320 --> 01:39:03,320
Speaker 1: murdering people in the month of December, and now they

1848
01:39:03,400 --> 01:39:05,519
Speaker 1: got to play against each other. So second year in

1849
01:39:05,560 --> 01:39:09,280
Speaker 1: a row where the Chiefs really greatly benefit from the

1850
01:39:09,360 --> 01:39:12,400
Speaker 1: way things play out because now they're ten point favorites

1851
01:39:12,400 --> 01:39:15,320
Speaker 1: against the Browns. Rather than having to play the Bills

1852
01:39:15,439 --> 01:39:17,040
Speaker 1: or the Ravens, they don't have to play either one

1853
01:39:17,600 --> 01:39:21,280
Speaker 1: until the conference championship game. The Ravens are playing at

1854
01:39:21,320 --> 01:39:25,280
Speaker 1: a really high level. I mean, their defense has been outstanding.

1855
01:39:25,960 --> 01:39:28,160
Speaker 1: They're running the ball so much better. They were doing

1856
01:39:28,200 --> 01:39:31,400
Speaker 1: a lot of zone scheme stuff earlier, it had kind

1857
01:39:31,439 --> 01:39:34,000
Speaker 1: of bobbed down. They went to more of a gap scheme.

1858
01:39:34,560 --> 01:39:37,360
Speaker 1: So what really makes me nervous more than anything else, Chris,

1859
01:39:37,600 --> 01:39:41,280
Speaker 1: is just whether or not the Bills will be able

1860
01:39:41,320 --> 01:39:44,280
Speaker 1: to slow down the Ravens rushing attack, which is a

1861
01:39:44,439 --> 01:39:47,360
Speaker 1: very tall task that nobody's been able to do since

1862
01:39:47,439 --> 01:39:51,799
Speaker 1: like November. Yeah, the Bills really did roll into the playoffs.

1863
01:39:51,840 --> 01:39:53,680
Speaker 1: Do you how much do you think that takes that

1864
01:39:53,920 --> 01:39:57,120
Speaker 1: game against Indianapolis as close as it was. How much

1865
01:39:57,160 --> 01:39:59,519
Speaker 1: does that take the shine off of what the Bills

1866
01:39:59,600 --> 01:40:01,719
Speaker 1: did the last two weeks at two months of the season,

1867
01:40:01,760 --> 01:40:03,840
Speaker 1: where they were, you know, winning by twenty nine twenty

1868
01:40:03,920 --> 01:40:06,840
Speaker 1: nine thirty? Does it take the shine off? Are they

1869
01:40:06,880 --> 01:40:11,599
Speaker 1: still the same team down deep? Well, it definitely takes

1870
01:40:11,640 --> 01:40:14,679
Speaker 1: a little bit of the shine off. Fortunately, Josh Allen's

1871
01:40:14,680 --> 01:40:17,680
Speaker 1: still the same quarterback, and so that is the thing

1872
01:40:17,800 --> 01:40:22,080
Speaker 1: that's so encouraging is the way he played and the way, really,

1873
01:40:22,200 --> 01:40:26,320
Speaker 1: let's be honest, he carried and willed that team to

1874
01:40:26,479 --> 01:40:30,560
Speaker 1: that victory. Between Allan and Diggs and Gabriel Davis with

1875
01:40:30,680 --> 01:40:34,360
Speaker 1: those sideline catches. The thing I think that is maybe

1876
01:40:34,479 --> 01:40:40,360
Speaker 1: concerning is they needed Allen to play almost perfectly to

1877
01:40:40,600 --> 01:40:44,599
Speaker 1: barely win, right, to barely beat the Colts, and arguably

1878
01:40:44,640 --> 01:40:47,519
Speaker 1: if it wasn't for some questionable decisions by Frank Reich

1879
01:40:48,520 --> 01:40:51,760
Speaker 1: or a misschip shot field goal, they still would have

1880
01:40:51,840 --> 01:40:55,120
Speaker 1: lost the game. So that's the part of it that's concerning.

1881
01:40:55,200 --> 01:40:57,800
Speaker 1: And I would say this, you know, if I were

1882
01:40:57,880 --> 01:41:00,400
Speaker 1: the Bills, you know, there's nothing you can do about it.

1883
01:41:01,320 --> 01:41:04,920
Speaker 1: But I'd rather play almost anybody other than the Ravens.

1884
01:41:05,439 --> 01:41:09,360
Speaker 1: Like I would say, I'm talking AFC or NFC. I'd

1885
01:41:09,439 --> 01:41:12,080
Speaker 1: rather play anybody. I think you can make the argument

1886
01:41:12,120 --> 01:41:14,680
Speaker 1: with the Chiefs and the Packers certainly, but I'd rather

1887
01:41:14,800 --> 01:41:17,680
Speaker 1: play the Bucks. I'd rather play, you know, any of

1888
01:41:17,720 --> 01:41:21,919
Speaker 1: these other teams, the Rams. The Ravens are playing almost

1889
01:41:22,000 --> 01:41:24,920
Speaker 1: like they were last year when they were fourteen and two,

1890
01:41:25,000 --> 01:41:27,160
Speaker 1: when Lamar Jackson was the MVP of the league. That's

1891
01:41:27,160 --> 01:41:29,360
Speaker 1: how well they're playing right now. Even though they got

1892
01:41:29,439 --> 01:41:32,200
Speaker 1: down ten points to the Titans, they're able to battle

1893
01:41:32,280 --> 01:41:34,519
Speaker 1: back and really dominate the game after that. I think

1894
01:41:34,560 --> 01:41:38,880
Speaker 1: I saw where the Titans had like eighty seven yards

1895
01:41:38,960 --> 01:41:42,120
Speaker 1: after the first quarter, eighty seven yards after the first

1896
01:41:42,200 --> 01:41:45,479
Speaker 1: quarter last week? Yeah, what is what does the path

1897
01:41:45,640 --> 01:41:48,560
Speaker 1: to victory look like for the Buffalo Bills? What do

1898
01:41:48,640 --> 01:41:50,720
Speaker 1: they gotta do? What's this game gonna look like when

1899
01:41:50,760 --> 01:41:53,280
Speaker 1: it's all said and done. What's going to have happened

1900
01:41:53,280 --> 01:41:56,719
Speaker 1: in this game if the Bills win? So two things.

1901
01:41:57,439 --> 01:42:00,599
Speaker 1: One is it'll probably look a lot off psively, at

1902
01:42:00,680 --> 01:42:03,880
Speaker 1: least like it does when the Chiefs have beaten the Ravens.

1903
01:42:04,360 --> 01:42:06,560
Speaker 1: Which is that the Ravens have a lot of confidence

1904
01:42:06,640 --> 01:42:09,719
Speaker 1: in their corners to play man to man. The Bills

1905
01:42:09,800 --> 01:42:13,040
Speaker 1: receivers have to win. Diggs has to win like Tyree

1906
01:42:13,200 --> 01:42:16,639
Speaker 1: Hill does. You know, they need to win all across

1907
01:42:16,720 --> 01:42:19,160
Speaker 1: the board, beasy on the underneath stuff. You know, this

1908
01:42:19,320 --> 01:42:21,599
Speaker 1: isn't gonna be a lot of zone like the Colts played.

1909
01:42:21,680 --> 01:42:24,919
Speaker 1: This will be man to man and they need Diggs

1910
01:42:25,080 --> 01:42:28,639
Speaker 1: and John Brown and these guys. They need those guys

1911
01:42:28,680 --> 01:42:31,639
Speaker 1: to win their one on one matchups like the Chiefs

1912
01:42:31,680 --> 01:42:35,679
Speaker 1: do when they play against the Ravens. Defensively, they're gonna

1913
01:42:35,720 --> 01:42:39,080
Speaker 1: have to be very aggressive early down in distance to

1914
01:42:39,200 --> 01:42:42,679
Speaker 1: try to get some negative yardage plays. You know, bring

1915
01:42:42,760 --> 01:42:45,760
Speaker 1: Matt Mulane on those blitzes, do what they do to

1916
01:42:45,920 --> 01:42:48,040
Speaker 1: try to get a loss of one, loss of two,

1917
01:42:48,120 --> 01:42:52,240
Speaker 1: whatever they can to get the Ravens into into plays

1918
01:42:52,280 --> 01:42:54,600
Speaker 1: where they have to throw the ball. Then obviously you

1919
01:42:54,640 --> 01:42:57,240
Speaker 1: can't let Lamar scramble. But that's the key to me.

1920
01:42:57,320 --> 01:43:00,320
Speaker 1: I'd say would be early down in distance, dee fence,

1921
01:43:00,760 --> 01:43:03,400
Speaker 1: and then the receivers, because nobody throws the receivers more

1922
01:43:03,439 --> 01:43:05,920
Speaker 1: than the Bills. They gotta win. They gotta win. All

1923
01:43:05,960 --> 01:43:08,680
Speaker 1: the time goes without saying Josh Allen's got to play

1924
01:43:08,760 --> 01:43:12,040
Speaker 1: like he has all year. I just that doesn't bother me,

1925
01:43:12,200 --> 01:43:15,080
Speaker 1: like I think that's achievable. I mean this, We looked

1926
01:43:15,080 --> 01:43:16,840
Speaker 1: at some of the teams that the Bills have seen

1927
01:43:16,880 --> 01:43:19,240
Speaker 1: a lot of man coverage against, Miami being one of them.

1928
01:43:19,280 --> 01:43:24,920
Speaker 1: They carved that team up twice. I mean, Josh seven touchdowns,

1929
01:43:25,000 --> 01:43:27,559
Speaker 1: one pick through for almost six hundred and fifty yards

1930
01:43:27,600 --> 01:43:30,920
Speaker 1: in two games. And you know they only played a

1931
01:43:30,960 --> 01:43:35,320
Speaker 1: half in the second one. What makes them so good

1932
01:43:35,400 --> 01:43:37,920
Speaker 1: in man coverage? Are they just more physical than everybody else?

1933
01:43:37,960 --> 01:43:40,880
Speaker 1: And that's what makes those Baltimore corners better in man

1934
01:43:41,000 --> 01:43:43,760
Speaker 1: than most because the Bills have had no problem their

1935
01:43:43,800 --> 01:43:46,519
Speaker 1: receivers haven't facing man covers. They run those deep overs

1936
01:43:46,560 --> 01:43:50,200
Speaker 1: and they're getting open. Yeah, it's a good point. And

1937
01:43:50,320 --> 01:43:52,479
Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, I'm sure the Dolphins would tell

1938
01:43:52,520 --> 01:43:55,120
Speaker 1: you that they think they have better corners than the Ravens. Yeah.

1939
01:43:56,520 --> 01:43:59,600
Speaker 1: But and listen, that's why I just said. You know,

1940
01:43:59,680 --> 01:44:02,320
Speaker 1: the Ves when they've played the Ravens the last two years,

1941
01:44:02,720 --> 01:44:04,799
Speaker 1: they've been able to beat that man to man coverage.

1942
01:44:04,840 --> 01:44:06,880
Speaker 1: They've been able to do it, and even a J.

1943
01:44:07,080 --> 01:44:10,040
Speaker 1: Brown did at times last week for the Tennessee Tits.

1944
01:44:10,080 --> 01:44:12,719
Speaker 1: And he might have pushed off on the touchdown anything,

1945
01:44:12,840 --> 01:44:15,960
Speaker 1: but he did. But you're right, the Bills have been

1946
01:44:16,800 --> 01:44:20,320
Speaker 1: unbelievable against man to man coverage this year. Almost makes

1947
01:44:20,360 --> 01:44:24,080
Speaker 1: you wonder if if Wink Martindale, the decordinator for the Ravens,

1948
01:44:24,200 --> 01:44:26,640
Speaker 1: does break out a little bit more zone. But they

1949
01:44:26,760 --> 01:44:30,240
Speaker 1: like their guys, I mean, they like Marlon Humphrey, Marcus Peters,

1950
01:44:30,600 --> 01:44:33,960
Speaker 1: Jimmy Smith. They pay them all well, they're all there

1951
01:44:34,040 --> 01:44:37,120
Speaker 1: for a reason, and the reasons not really to play zone.

1952
01:44:37,360 --> 01:44:39,519
Speaker 1: I don't think I think they're gonna try to play man.

1953
01:44:39,640 --> 01:44:42,160
Speaker 1: Now we'll be I'll be curious. Maybe they'll say, hey,

1954
01:44:42,240 --> 01:44:44,599
Speaker 1: we don't want to give up the explosives, let's play

1955
01:44:44,640 --> 01:44:47,240
Speaker 1: a little bit more zone, because those guys can be

1956
01:44:47,360 --> 01:44:50,519
Speaker 1: physical as well. But based on what you're saying, Chris,

1957
01:44:50,600 --> 01:44:52,280
Speaker 1: I would agree, I think it ends up being a

1958
01:44:52,840 --> 01:44:56,559
Speaker 1: fairly high scoring game. You know, just given what Josh

1959
01:44:56,600 --> 01:44:58,200
Speaker 1: Allen and the Bills are done against man to man

1960
01:44:58,280 --> 01:45:01,280
Speaker 1: coverage this year, I feel like, you know, twenty seven

1961
01:45:01,439 --> 01:45:04,200
Speaker 1: twenty four, maybe at a minimum similar to the last

1962
01:45:04,240 --> 01:45:06,120
Speaker 1: week's score, but that might be the minimum. Maybe they

1963
01:45:06,200 --> 01:45:09,120
Speaker 1: even get into the thirties. If you talked about how

1964
01:45:09,160 --> 01:45:11,200
Speaker 1: the Ravens are back to where they were a year ago,

1965
01:45:11,240 --> 01:45:13,400
Speaker 1: where they were going fourteen and two and they were

1966
01:45:13,439 --> 01:45:15,680
Speaker 1: the one seat and all that, and they got to

1967
01:45:15,760 --> 01:45:19,160
Speaker 1: buy on the first week of the playoffs. But how

1968
01:45:19,280 --> 01:45:22,120
Speaker 1: has this team, this offense for the Ravens, has it

1969
01:45:22,280 --> 01:45:24,800
Speaker 1: changed at all from them, even though it's playing very

1970
01:45:24,840 --> 01:45:29,200
Speaker 1: well now? Is it has it come? Is it different

1971
01:45:29,240 --> 01:45:31,000
Speaker 1: now than it was in Week fourteen of last year

1972
01:45:31,040 --> 01:45:34,599
Speaker 1: when these two teams played. Yes, So the two things

1973
01:45:34,640 --> 01:45:38,000
Speaker 1: that jump out to me maybe three. But one is,

1974
01:45:38,400 --> 01:45:40,400
Speaker 1: you know, earlier in the year, they were trying to

1975
01:45:40,400 --> 01:45:43,000
Speaker 1: do all this zone scheme stuff and then they realized

1976
01:45:43,360 --> 01:45:46,879
Speaker 1: they didn't have Yonda anymore. They didn't have Ronnie Stanley.

1977
01:45:46,960 --> 01:45:50,679
Speaker 1: He got hurt. They're doing more gap scheme read stuff

1978
01:45:50,760 --> 01:45:54,439
Speaker 1: with Lamar Jackson, and teams just don't see that very often.

1979
01:45:54,560 --> 01:45:57,080
Speaker 1: They really struggled with it, really struggled with it. That's

1980
01:45:57,160 --> 01:45:59,559
Speaker 1: number one. Number two, I think they realized as much

1981
01:45:59,560 --> 01:46:03,360
Speaker 1: as they mark Ingram JK. Dobbins and Gus Edwards are better.

1982
01:46:03,520 --> 01:46:06,280
Speaker 1: I mean, they're just better. There's a reason why the

1983
01:46:06,400 --> 01:46:09,160
Speaker 1: Ravens average six yards to carry or JK. Dobbins six

1984
01:46:09,240 --> 01:46:12,120
Speaker 1: yards to carry. Those guys are better, So that's been

1985
01:46:12,280 --> 01:46:14,880
Speaker 1: very helpful as well. And I think the last thing

1986
01:46:15,000 --> 01:46:18,000
Speaker 1: is I think they've got more confidence in and they're

1987
01:46:18,120 --> 01:46:21,200
Speaker 1: using Hollywood Brown better than they were a year ago.

1988
01:46:21,640 --> 01:46:23,759
Speaker 1: You know, they had Mark Andrews doing all that stuff

1989
01:46:23,880 --> 01:46:26,960
Speaker 1: last year, and so that's about the same. But you

1990
01:46:27,080 --> 01:46:29,160
Speaker 1: watched that Titans game. He had over one hundred yards

1991
01:46:29,240 --> 01:46:33,639
Speaker 1: receiving seven catches. Hollywood Brown was a major difference maker

1992
01:46:33,760 --> 01:46:36,439
Speaker 1: in that game for the Ravens last week. Last one

1993
01:46:36,479 --> 01:46:38,040
Speaker 1: I got for you, Ross, because I know your time

1994
01:46:38,120 --> 01:46:41,720
Speaker 1: is short. The AFC landscape. We have a ten win

1995
01:46:41,840 --> 01:46:45,280
Speaker 1: team that didn't even make the playoffs. Every playoff participant

1996
01:46:45,360 --> 01:46:47,639
Speaker 1: was at least eleven wins this year in the AFC.

1997
01:46:48,400 --> 01:46:52,080
Speaker 1: And now you're gonna have even more young quarterbacks coming

1998
01:46:52,120 --> 01:46:55,320
Speaker 1: into the mix. Jacksonville probably gonna draft Trevor Lawrence. And

1999
01:46:55,439 --> 01:46:57,720
Speaker 1: then you look at all of the young quarterbacks in

2000
01:46:57,800 --> 01:47:02,720
Speaker 1: the AFC. How intense competitive is this gonna be for

2001
01:47:02,800 --> 01:47:05,879
Speaker 1: the next several years. I mean, yes, Mahomes is probably

2002
01:47:05,880 --> 01:47:08,120
Speaker 1: at the top of the mountain right now, but justin

2003
01:47:08,280 --> 01:47:13,280
Speaker 1: Herbert and Tua and Joe Burrow and Josh Allen, Lamar Baker.

2004
01:47:13,640 --> 01:47:16,680
Speaker 1: I mean, they're all in the Acawn Watson, they're all

2005
01:47:16,720 --> 01:47:21,240
Speaker 1: in the AFC ross. You know, I hadn't thought of

2006
01:47:21,280 --> 01:47:24,000
Speaker 1: it that way. And when you say that, I go

2007
01:47:24,200 --> 01:47:28,080
Speaker 1: right to the NFC, and I'm thinking the Old Freeze

2008
01:47:28,200 --> 01:47:31,960
Speaker 1: is old, Aaron Rodgers is up there in years. It

2009
01:47:32,160 --> 01:47:35,519
Speaker 1: is an interesting and a stark contrast. I mean, there's

2010
01:47:35,560 --> 01:47:37,280
Speaker 1: nothing you can do about it as a Bills fan,

2011
01:47:37,439 --> 01:47:39,519
Speaker 1: but it would be nice if you were like the

2012
01:47:39,640 --> 01:47:43,280
Speaker 1: one team in the NFC that had the young stud quarterback.

2013
01:47:43,720 --> 01:47:47,160
Speaker 1: Unfortunately it really doesn't work that way. But yeah, man,

2014
01:47:47,680 --> 01:47:50,200
Speaker 1: you are right, Chris. You know I'm gonna be using

2015
01:47:50,320 --> 01:47:53,080
Speaker 1: that on all these radio hits. I do like this

2016
01:47:53,240 --> 01:47:55,880
Speaker 1: one when they asked me, like, what's the best head

2017
01:47:55,920 --> 01:47:59,479
Speaker 1: coaching job? Which head coaching job should you take? I

2018
01:47:59,640 --> 01:48:01,600
Speaker 1: might I might steal that from you, Chris, because that

2019
01:48:01,720 --> 01:48:04,320
Speaker 1: is a pretty good point that the AFC is going

2020
01:48:04,360 --> 01:48:06,720
Speaker 1: to be rough and the NFC might be a little

2021
01:48:06,720 --> 01:48:08,960
Speaker 1: bit of a softer landing over the next three or

2022
01:48:09,000 --> 01:48:11,519
Speaker 1: four years. At Land is the spot with two forty

2023
01:48:11,600 --> 01:48:13,920
Speaker 1: year old quarterbacks in the division that'll be gone pretty

2024
01:48:13,960 --> 01:48:17,599
Speaker 1: soon and Teddy Bridgewater. So yeah, I think at Land

2025
01:48:17,680 --> 01:48:19,920
Speaker 1: is the spot. All right, have a good broadcast this weekend,

2026
01:48:20,040 --> 01:48:22,920
Speaker 1: Ross doing the game, all right, all right, see you guys,

2037
01:48:52,320 --> 01:48:54,599
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. But always good to talk

2038
01:48:54,640 --> 01:48:57,080
Speaker 1: to Ross. I still remember covering him as a player

2039
01:48:57,160 --> 01:48:58,920
Speaker 1: here in the locker room. He's a really good early

2040
01:48:59,000 --> 01:49:02,760
Speaker 1: two thousands, he was a trip man and he had

2041
01:49:02,800 --> 01:49:04,880
Speaker 1: aspirations to do what he's doing now, So good on

2042
01:49:05,000 --> 01:49:07,280
Speaker 1: him for making that happen. And he'll be on the

2043
01:49:07,320 --> 01:49:09,840
Speaker 1: Westwood one broadcast. On the radio side, I think he's

2044
01:49:09,880 --> 01:49:12,080
Speaker 1: doing it with Tom Tom McCarthy. I think he might be.

2045
01:49:12,240 --> 01:49:15,880
Speaker 1: He always that right. Yeah. Maybe Tom's a great guy.

2046
01:49:15,920 --> 01:49:17,800
Speaker 1: I know he's a friend of yours. Great dude, worked

2047
01:49:17,800 --> 01:49:21,880
Speaker 1: a couple of years with Tom's got tremendous pipes. Te's great. Yeah,

2048
01:49:22,240 --> 01:49:24,679
Speaker 1: you know those guys that just have the voice. He's great.

2049
01:49:24,720 --> 01:49:28,519
Speaker 1: He's got it his voice, He's got it in spades. Um, Steve,

2050
01:49:28,600 --> 01:49:30,760
Speaker 1: let's take a look at the tweet sheet here. Um,

2051
01:49:31,200 --> 01:49:33,400
Speaker 1: but before we do that, we gotta somebody holding for

2052
01:49:33,439 --> 01:49:37,040
Speaker 1: a while. Here's Tom in San Antonio. Tom, what do

2053
01:49:37,120 --> 01:49:39,720
Speaker 1: you have for us? You're on one Bill's Live. Hey,

2054
01:49:39,840 --> 01:49:41,720
Speaker 1: thanks for picking up. I know I've been on for

2055
01:49:41,720 --> 01:49:44,120
Speaker 1: about an hour twenty minutes. Sorry about that that you

2056
01:49:44,240 --> 01:49:48,320
Speaker 1: just had, Ross Tucker, because I'm also known as Major Tucker.

2057
01:49:49,080 --> 01:49:51,120
Speaker 1: He's sitting in the army for the last nineteen years

2058
01:49:51,160 --> 01:49:54,080
Speaker 1: and finishing up down here in San Antonio, lifelong billspan

2059
01:49:54,240 --> 01:49:58,800
Speaker 1: on their canesius grad um. So thanks for taking my call.

2060
01:49:59,000 --> 01:50:03,240
Speaker 1: Yeah sure, awesome, thanks for your service. So thank You're welcome,

2061
01:50:03,520 --> 01:50:07,160
Speaker 1: missus tester. So to me, the key for today's for

2062
01:50:07,240 --> 01:50:10,679
Speaker 1: this weekend's game, um is going to really be field position.

2063
01:50:10,760 --> 01:50:14,040
Speaker 1: And I say that because if you give Allen you

2064
01:50:14,080 --> 01:50:16,760
Speaker 1: know fifty yards to score. You know, we probably have

2065
01:50:17,320 --> 01:50:20,640
Speaker 1: two extra touchnots last week, and so, you know, the

2066
01:50:21,000 --> 01:50:23,880
Speaker 1: return game was really something that I thought really fell

2067
01:50:24,000 --> 01:50:26,680
Speaker 1: off last week. You know, what are you what are

2068
01:50:26,720 --> 01:50:29,720
Speaker 1: your thoughts on, you know, receiving the ball in the

2069
01:50:29,840 --> 01:50:32,880
Speaker 1: touchback strategy, getting at least to the twenty five to start,

2070
01:50:33,320 --> 01:50:35,559
Speaker 1: and then opening up with field position because I think

2071
01:50:35,600 --> 01:50:38,479
Speaker 1: if you you shorten that field for the Bills, you know,

2072
01:50:38,560 --> 01:50:40,680
Speaker 1: we got the quick strike offense, we can go up

2073
01:50:40,800 --> 01:50:44,080
Speaker 1: quick and then have Baltimore trying to chase us all day.

2074
01:50:44,120 --> 01:50:46,760
Speaker 1: I think that's the position we'd want to be in.

2075
01:50:46,880 --> 01:50:49,080
Speaker 1: So what's your take on that? Yeah, I mean I'm

2076
01:50:49,120 --> 01:50:51,559
Speaker 1: probably gonna let Steve handle most of this answer here.

2077
01:50:51,560 --> 01:50:55,080
Speaker 1: I'll just quickly say that Andre Roberts is a supreme talent.

2078
01:50:55,680 --> 01:50:58,240
Speaker 1: So if the circumstances are right, I think you give

2079
01:50:58,320 --> 01:51:01,720
Speaker 1: him the opportunity, but if he's more than three yards

2080
01:51:01,760 --> 01:51:03,880
Speaker 1: deep in the end zone, take the knee so you

2081
01:51:03,920 --> 01:51:06,960
Speaker 1: don't fall into the same trap you did last week. Now,

2082
01:51:07,000 --> 01:51:09,639
Speaker 1: they were penalties also that pinned them back, but their

2083
01:51:09,680 --> 01:51:13,719
Speaker 1: first five possession, Steve owned fifteen on eleven own six

2084
01:51:13,920 --> 01:51:16,080
Speaker 1: O four own three yard line I mean that is

2085
01:51:16,120 --> 01:51:19,080
Speaker 1: a killer. Yeah, the only mistake changes your play calling too, right,

2086
01:51:19,120 --> 01:51:21,439
Speaker 1: The only mistake Andre made last weeks he couldn't get

2087
01:51:21,479 --> 01:51:24,679
Speaker 1: there to feel about the first one. Yeah, he couldn't

2088
01:51:24,680 --> 01:51:26,000
Speaker 1: get up there. He had to just fall on it

2089
01:51:26,080 --> 01:51:27,880
Speaker 1: because it was flopping around on the ground. He couldn't

2090
01:51:27,880 --> 01:51:29,759
Speaker 1: even sprint to get there, and that was a problem.

2091
01:51:30,080 --> 01:51:31,680
Speaker 1: But other than that, you got to give him the

2092
01:51:31,760 --> 01:51:33,280
Speaker 1: chance to do it if he feels it and needs

2093
01:51:33,360 --> 01:51:35,880
Speaker 1: could trust him, no question. That field position was a

2094
01:51:36,040 --> 01:51:38,200
Speaker 1: huge factor in the first half of last week's game,

2095
01:51:38,240 --> 01:51:39,439
Speaker 1: and the Bills were on the wrong end of it.

2096
01:51:39,800 --> 01:51:42,400
Speaker 1: And still you're right. You give them the kind of

2097
01:51:42,439 --> 01:51:46,080
Speaker 1: field position you're talking about with the Colts that they

2098
01:51:46,160 --> 01:51:49,400
Speaker 1: had in this last game for the Bills, and yeah,

2099
01:51:50,560 --> 01:51:52,760
Speaker 1: that's gonna put the Baltimore Ravens in the hole. And

2100
01:51:53,280 --> 01:51:55,599
Speaker 1: the short field for the Buffalo Bills has been very

2101
01:51:55,720 --> 01:52:00,439
Speaker 1: kind to them this year. And but special to the kicker, Listen,

2102
01:52:01,240 --> 01:52:05,400
Speaker 1: Justin Tucker does not miss his miss, notwithstanding last week

2103
01:52:05,439 --> 01:52:07,320
Speaker 1: it was the first winning Bay can remember, so that

2104
01:52:07,360 --> 01:52:09,200
Speaker 1: means he's probably not gonna miss another one for another

2105
01:52:09,280 --> 01:52:12,960
Speaker 1: fifty attempts, right, So he's just that good but I

2106
01:52:13,120 --> 01:52:15,519
Speaker 1: like our guy as well. I think Tyler Bass is

2107
01:52:16,200 --> 01:52:19,120
Speaker 1: having a fantastic year. He's hitting it with a lot

2108
01:52:19,160 --> 01:52:22,360
Speaker 1: of confidence. And Borkez, I was watching today and I'd

2109
01:52:22,400 --> 01:52:24,360
Speaker 1: forgotten about it. I was watching the Rams game from

2110
01:52:24,360 --> 01:52:26,000
Speaker 1: earlier in the season. It's the one where he had

2111
01:52:26,000 --> 01:52:30,240
Speaker 1: the seventy two yard punt. Yeah, field position is crucial

2112
01:52:30,320 --> 01:52:32,479
Speaker 1: and ninety percent of it starts with your special teams.

2113
01:52:32,479 --> 01:52:34,200
Speaker 1: So yeah, the Bills special teams do need to have

2114
01:52:34,280 --> 01:52:36,400
Speaker 1: a good day. Let's go to the tweet sheet brought

2115
01:52:36,400 --> 01:52:39,000
Speaker 1: to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment moving

2116
01:52:39,000 --> 01:52:41,439
Speaker 1: company of the Buffalo Bills. Which match up more important

2117
01:52:41,479 --> 01:52:44,920
Speaker 1: in Saturday's game with the Ravens and why from Max?

2118
01:52:45,000 --> 01:52:46,560
Speaker 1: He says to me, it's a no brainer. On the

2119
01:52:46,640 --> 01:52:49,439
Speaker 1: second choice, the Bills defense will hold this offense to

2120
01:52:49,560 --> 01:52:52,400
Speaker 1: twenty four points or less if they play them well.

2121
01:52:52,600 --> 01:52:55,439
Speaker 1: Ravens offense isn't scary. It just possesses the ball a

2122
01:52:55,479 --> 01:52:58,040
Speaker 1: long time. As long as the Bills put points up,

2123
01:52:58,160 --> 01:53:04,000
Speaker 1: it's over man. Max is confident. While I'll agree that

2124
01:53:04,400 --> 01:53:10,599
Speaker 1: the Ravens aren't plentiful in their big play ability, Lamar

2125
01:53:10,720 --> 01:53:13,200
Speaker 1: Jackson is a big play waiting to happen at any

2126
01:53:13,280 --> 01:53:16,439
Speaker 1: given time. He's got them. You can't like Steph Diggs,

2127
01:53:16,840 --> 01:53:18,680
Speaker 1: even if he gets open, somebody's got to throw him

2128
01:53:18,680 --> 01:53:21,000
Speaker 1: the football. Lamar Jackson gets the ball handed to him

2129
01:53:21,040 --> 01:53:27,439
Speaker 1: every single play. That's a problem. Yeah, for Bill's defense, simply, Yes,

2130
01:53:27,680 --> 01:53:31,920
Speaker 1: that's a problem. And yeah if yea, if the Bills

2131
01:53:31,920 --> 01:53:33,920
Speaker 1: put up points, if they go in there and have

2132
01:53:34,040 --> 01:53:37,000
Speaker 1: a two halves like they put together against the Seahawks

2133
01:53:37,080 --> 01:53:39,640
Speaker 1: or against the Rams, or against the forty nine ers

2134
01:53:39,760 --> 01:53:42,120
Speaker 1: or you name it, yeah, this this game will get

2135
01:53:42,160 --> 01:53:45,080
Speaker 1: out of hand and they'll be fine. But this is

2136
01:53:45,120 --> 01:53:49,360
Speaker 1: a really, really good defense they're playing. You kind of

2137
01:53:49,439 --> 01:53:52,880
Speaker 1: hope that the Ravens are confident in their corners coming

2138
01:53:52,960 --> 01:53:56,160
Speaker 1: in here because the Bills versus man demand Yeah, give

2139
01:53:56,200 --> 01:53:58,800
Speaker 1: it to me. I'm not I'm okay with I want

2140
01:53:58,840 --> 01:54:00,960
Speaker 1: to see that matchup that'll be and I think if

2141
01:54:01,040 --> 01:54:02,840
Speaker 1: the Ravens feel like they can do it, they will.

2142
01:54:03,640 --> 01:54:06,920
Speaker 1: But teams have not fared well against the Bills, and

2143
01:54:07,000 --> 01:54:08,760
Speaker 1: that now I was having said that they go man,

2144
01:54:08,800 --> 01:54:11,320
Speaker 1: they can also send five six guys. If they do that,

2145
01:54:12,160 --> 01:54:14,160
Speaker 1: they got a chance if they can get home right.

2146
01:54:14,400 --> 01:54:16,759
Speaker 1: But of course Josh can also escape, and with everybody's

2147
01:54:16,800 --> 01:54:20,639
Speaker 1: back turned there could be yardage opportunities too from Marty

2148
01:54:20,720 --> 01:54:23,720
Speaker 1: our offense versus their defense. They have good talent at

2149
01:54:23,760 --> 01:54:26,320
Speaker 1: every level, and last week they adjusted from blitz to zone.

2150
01:54:26,720 --> 01:54:28,640
Speaker 1: I see them doing the same against Josh. If we

2151
01:54:28,680 --> 01:54:31,479
Speaker 1: can eliminate turnovers and keep the pressure on them by

2152
01:54:31,560 --> 01:54:34,360
Speaker 1: starting fast and grabbing a league, I feel we can

2153
01:54:34,520 --> 01:54:40,600
Speaker 1: keep Lamar uncomfortable. That's kind of a big ask. You're

2154
01:54:40,680 --> 01:54:45,160
Speaker 1: doing a lot there. Yeah, it's I think with Lamar,

2155
01:54:45,560 --> 01:54:47,880
Speaker 1: if you're playing you almost you invite him to throw.

2156
01:54:49,400 --> 01:54:51,840
Speaker 1: But the problem is you're trying to cover them too.

2157
01:54:52,280 --> 01:54:54,080
Speaker 1: So if you cover them up you invite him to throw,

2158
01:54:54,120 --> 01:54:55,800
Speaker 1: he's going to stand back there for through one or

2159
01:54:55,840 --> 01:54:57,440
Speaker 1: two reads and he's gonna take off. Well, then what

2160
01:54:57,520 --> 01:55:01,160
Speaker 1: are you gonna do? What are you gonna do? Yeah,

2161
01:55:01,440 --> 01:55:04,320
Speaker 1: And that's that's where that's the conundrum. That's the conundrum.

2162
01:55:05,120 --> 01:55:07,360
Speaker 1: If he decides he's not gonna throw it and everybody

2163
01:55:07,400 --> 01:55:09,240
Speaker 1: else thinks it's a past play, he's just gonna he's

2164
01:55:09,240 --> 01:55:11,200
Speaker 1: just gonna run. He's gonna be like a fifteen year

2165
01:55:11,240 --> 01:55:12,880
Speaker 1: old playing with a bunch of ten year olds. Yeah,

2166
01:55:14,040 --> 01:55:17,880
Speaker 1: from Sir Choco, interesting name. Not having Star on the

2167
01:55:17,960 --> 01:55:20,760
Speaker 1: field will be a factor. He definitely was a difference maker.

2168
01:55:21,120 --> 01:55:24,440
Speaker 1: Who now on our roster will step up to stop

2169
01:55:24,640 --> 01:55:30,920
Speaker 1: the Ravens run game. It's a good question, and they

2170
01:55:31,000 --> 01:55:35,400
Speaker 1: are very liberal with their frontline rotation, and so you're

2171
01:55:35,480 --> 01:55:38,800
Speaker 1: looking to guys like Harrison Phillips or Vernon Butler to

2172
01:55:39,000 --> 01:55:42,200
Speaker 1: be that guy, and it's been a chore. I don't

2173
01:55:42,240 --> 01:55:45,040
Speaker 1: think anybody has played up to the level of Star

2174
01:55:45,560 --> 01:55:49,000
Speaker 1: to this point this season in that role, and that's

2175
01:55:49,000 --> 01:55:51,800
Speaker 1: why they paid Star the money they did to get

2176
01:55:51,920 --> 01:55:55,240
Speaker 1: him here in the first place. I think Harrison Phillips

2177
01:55:55,360 --> 01:55:58,480
Speaker 1: is still coming on to getting back to his full

2178
01:55:59,400 --> 01:56:02,760
Speaker 1: play level. I thought Vernon Butler had a good second

2179
01:56:02,800 --> 01:56:05,520
Speaker 1: half of the season. I just don't know if they're

2180
01:56:06,200 --> 01:56:10,760
Speaker 1: dominantly stout enough and against an offensive line of this caliber,

2181
01:56:10,840 --> 01:56:12,640
Speaker 1: it's it's gonna be a tough task. Yeah, I mean,

2182
01:56:12,640 --> 01:56:14,920
Speaker 1: if you get Ed Oliver and Justin Zimmer on the

2183
01:56:14,960 --> 01:56:18,320
Speaker 1: field at the same time, they're just a little light. Yeah.

2184
01:56:18,840 --> 01:56:21,120
Speaker 1: You know, you can't put those two out there together

2185
01:56:21,360 --> 01:56:23,960
Speaker 1: with against this group. You gotta have Vernon Butler, you

2186
01:56:24,040 --> 01:56:26,320
Speaker 1: gotta have you know, Mario Addison's gotta be out there,

2187
01:56:26,520 --> 01:56:28,640
Speaker 1: Quentin Jefferson, you know, you gotta have some guys with

2188
01:56:28,760 --> 01:56:31,920
Speaker 1: some girth to withstand that, you know, that push. So

2189
01:56:33,960 --> 01:56:36,440
Speaker 1: that's I think that's a crucial element to this game.

2190
01:56:36,560 --> 01:56:38,360
Speaker 1: Is the is the battle up front on both sides

2191
01:56:38,360 --> 01:56:40,400
Speaker 1: of the ball, both Bills offensive line and the Bill's

2192
01:56:40,440 --> 01:56:46,120
Speaker 1: defensive line against this Ravens fronts on both sides. So, um, yeah,

2193
01:56:46,280 --> 01:56:49,320
Speaker 1: this is gonna be a game where it's It's gonna

2194
01:56:49,320 --> 01:56:52,000
Speaker 1: be interesting to see early on how the Bill's offense

2195
01:56:52,120 --> 01:56:55,360
Speaker 1: fares against the raven defense. Because if the Bill's offense

2196
01:56:55,440 --> 01:56:57,480
Speaker 1: can move it and play really well against a good

2197
01:56:57,560 --> 01:57:02,760
Speaker 1: Ravens defense like they have against other ten defenses, that

2198
01:57:02,960 --> 01:57:05,040
Speaker 1: changes things for Baltimore in away that I don't think

2199
01:57:05,040 --> 01:57:07,760
Speaker 1: they've had it changed lately. Let's go back to the phones.

2200
01:57:07,800 --> 01:57:09,920
Speaker 1: We go to Gary in West Seneca. Gary, what do

2201
01:57:09,960 --> 01:57:12,640
Speaker 1: you have for us? You're on one Bill's Live gentlemen,

2202
01:57:12,680 --> 01:57:14,320
Speaker 1: How are you good? What do you got for us?

2203
01:57:15,360 --> 01:57:18,200
Speaker 1: Do you think they only go are tree lined ackers?

2204
01:57:19,480 --> 01:57:23,360
Speaker 1: But aj in there, that's really not who they are.

2205
01:57:23,960 --> 01:57:28,400
Speaker 1: Their most popular defensive formation this season, by a wide margin,

2206
01:57:28,680 --> 01:57:31,080
Speaker 1: is the nickel package with arn Johnson on the field.

2207
01:57:31,120 --> 01:57:34,160
Speaker 1: In most cases. They have run that upwards of eighty

2208
01:57:34,200 --> 01:57:37,080
Speaker 1: five percent of the time on their defensive snaps this season,

2209
01:57:37,200 --> 01:57:39,600
Speaker 1: So I don't know if they're necessarily going to change

2210
01:57:39,640 --> 01:57:43,280
Speaker 1: their spots. I suppose if you know the opposing personnel

2211
01:57:43,360 --> 01:57:46,400
Speaker 1: grouping dictates it, they might. I mean, I know Baltimore

2212
01:57:46,480 --> 01:57:49,720
Speaker 1: runs a lot of twenty one with Ricard, so maybe

2213
01:57:49,720 --> 01:57:51,960
Speaker 1: you bring Marlow on the field instead of Arran. The

2214
01:57:52,040 --> 01:57:54,720
Speaker 1: Bills did a little bit of that against the Patriots

2215
01:57:54,760 --> 01:57:57,760
Speaker 1: in the second matchup. They brought a J. Klein on

2216
01:57:57,880 --> 01:58:00,000
Speaker 1: with Milano and Edmonds and they kind of went head

2217
01:58:00,120 --> 01:58:03,320
Speaker 1: because of Cam Newton and the and the Patriots disdain

2218
01:58:03,440 --> 01:58:05,480
Speaker 1: for throwing the football in any way, shape or form,

2219
01:58:06,200 --> 01:58:11,440
Speaker 1: and they won that game big um. They Yeah, it'll

2220
01:58:11,480 --> 01:58:13,320
Speaker 1: be interesting to see what they do with that. They

2221
01:58:13,400 --> 01:58:15,440
Speaker 1: may feel like they need a heavier body in there

2222
01:58:15,480 --> 01:58:18,880
Speaker 1: to do it, but also, I mean the field to

2223
01:58:19,000 --> 01:58:21,240
Speaker 1: contain Lamar. It's one of the things about it. Maybe

2224
01:58:21,280 --> 01:58:23,560
Speaker 1: they put the linebackers in there and and go with

2225
01:58:23,680 --> 01:58:26,120
Speaker 1: a lighter lineup up fronts just for the simple fact

2226
01:58:26,160 --> 01:58:28,240
Speaker 1: that you want to pursue I don't know, but I

2227
01:58:28,360 --> 01:58:30,120
Speaker 1: think he's still got to hold the line of scrimmage

2228
01:58:30,120 --> 01:58:34,960
Speaker 1: and they're running people over and there's there's still rolling people. Uh, okay,

2229
01:58:35,080 --> 01:58:36,840
Speaker 1: break time for us. We'll get back to more of

2230
01:58:36,880 --> 01:58:39,480
Speaker 1: your calls when we get back. So Chris and Baltimore,

2231
01:58:39,560 --> 01:58:42,120
Speaker 1: Dick and Webster, hang on. We'll get to you when

2232
01:58:42,240 --> 01:58:44,800
Speaker 1: we come back. Here on One Bill's Live, presented by

2233
01:58:44,840 --> 01:59:00,480
Speaker 1: a Collid of Health, It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. Lug it

2234
01:59:00,520 --> 01:59:03,520
Speaker 1: back to One Bill's Live. Wanted to share with you

2235
01:59:04,680 --> 01:59:06,840
Speaker 1: in case you missed it on the radio broadcast this

2236
01:59:06,960 --> 01:59:12,680
Speaker 1: past Saturday. One Steve Tasker's reaction when there was no

2237
01:59:13,000 --> 01:59:16,640
Speaker 1: booth review at the outset on the Zach Pascal play

2238
01:59:16,760 --> 01:59:19,480
Speaker 1: when he caught the football, went to the ground, came

2239
01:59:19,560 --> 01:59:22,480
Speaker 1: back up, re established himself as a runner, and Jordan

2240
01:59:22,560 --> 01:59:24,720
Speaker 1: Poyer punched the ball out for a clear and obvious

2241
01:59:24,840 --> 01:59:28,200
Speaker 1: fumble and it was not ruled as such on the field.

2242
01:59:28,320 --> 01:59:32,480
Speaker 1: So take it away, Steve Tasker, How can you not

2243
01:59:32,680 --> 01:59:36,080
Speaker 1: review that play? New York is asleep at the wheel.

2244
01:59:36,520 --> 01:59:38,760
Speaker 1: That play was so close and there was a turnover.

2245
01:59:38,920 --> 01:59:42,280
Speaker 1: How do you not review that play? That is an outrage.

2246
01:59:42,800 --> 01:59:45,440
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott's letting him see that guy was off the

2247
01:59:45,560 --> 01:59:48,560
Speaker 1: ground and they forced the fumble. That is a total

2248
01:59:48,760 --> 01:59:51,680
Speaker 1: miss by not only the officials on the field but

2249
01:59:51,800 --> 01:59:55,000
Speaker 1: also New York. If they don't review that, that is

2250
01:59:55,040 --> 01:59:58,080
Speaker 1: an outrage. It's after review, the lent on the field

2251
01:59:58,120 --> 02:00:02,400
Speaker 1: stands Suckalo is not charged to time out as the

2252
02:00:02,480 --> 02:00:07,400
Speaker 1: replay official stopped the play. That is that is totally wrong,

2253
02:00:09,040 --> 02:00:12,840
Speaker 1: totally wrong. I think my favorite partlet my favorite part

2254
02:00:12,880 --> 02:00:16,400
Speaker 1: of this whole thing is Murf tries to step in

2255
02:00:16,520 --> 02:00:19,560
Speaker 1: and comment as well, and Steve just the only reason

2256
02:00:19,640 --> 02:00:22,880
Speaker 1: he paused is to take another breath. And so Murf

2257
02:00:22,960 --> 02:00:25,640
Speaker 1: almost says, Okay, I'm gonna step over here, go ahead.

2258
02:00:27,320 --> 02:00:29,840
Speaker 1: I let me wait. I know I sugarcoated all that,

2259
02:00:30,000 --> 02:00:32,080
Speaker 1: So let me just tell exactly where I really felt

2260
02:00:32,080 --> 02:00:35,360
Speaker 1: about that. Right. Wow, I was hot, I was climbing,

2261
02:00:35,400 --> 02:00:37,320
Speaker 1: I was almost I was almost standing up on the

2262
02:00:37,600 --> 02:00:39,560
Speaker 1: I would have fully expected to jump right out of

2263
02:00:39,560 --> 02:00:43,600
Speaker 1: the radio. They still didn't get it right, They still

2264
02:00:43,680 --> 02:00:47,280
Speaker 1: messed it up. It's an absolute joke. Yeah, and I

2265
02:00:47,440 --> 02:00:49,840
Speaker 1: and I listen, I've been going over films of these games,

2266
02:00:49,880 --> 02:00:53,760
Speaker 1: and you forget all. Yeah, the tyler Croft interception and

2267
02:00:55,240 --> 02:00:59,960
Speaker 1: the Rams tyler Croft interception was that was like delay

2268
02:01:00,000 --> 02:01:05,400
Speaker 1: liberately cheating. Yeah, I was unbelievable. How do they how

2269
02:01:05,480 --> 02:01:08,800
Speaker 1: they did that? Maybe we should be And then maybe

2270
02:01:08,840 --> 02:01:12,160
Speaker 1: we should be buoyed by the fact that in these

2271
02:01:12,280 --> 02:01:15,400
Speaker 1: games with these bad calls, the Bills won the games anyway,

2272
02:01:15,560 --> 02:01:18,240
Speaker 1: Maybe that's the one thing we should cling to as

2273
02:01:18,240 --> 02:01:23,360
Speaker 1: a last bastion of hope. That yes, because it's patently

2274
02:01:23,400 --> 02:01:27,080
Speaker 1: evident to me that if you are a team still

2275
02:01:27,120 --> 02:01:31,680
Speaker 1: playing in these playoffs, you unquestionably will have to make

2276
02:01:31,720 --> 02:01:35,320
Speaker 1: your own breaks to win football games. Yes, but you

2277
02:01:35,360 --> 02:01:40,000
Speaker 1: don't need to overcome challenges of well, that's what I'm saying.

2278
02:01:40,040 --> 02:01:43,000
Speaker 1: You may have to, they have to. Those are the

2279
02:01:43,560 --> 02:01:46,320
Speaker 1: stakes we're seeing at some points in this season. Is

2280
02:01:47,240 --> 02:01:50,400
Speaker 1: they happen all the time, but there's a system in

2281
02:01:50,440 --> 02:01:53,800
Speaker 1: place to fix them, right, And every time you go

2282
02:01:53,920 --> 02:01:57,880
Speaker 1: to New York, it's it's a roll of the dice

2283
02:01:58,000 --> 02:02:01,320
Speaker 1: as to whether they deem in the replay review of

2284
02:02:01,520 --> 02:02:03,880
Speaker 1: in New York, as to whether, well, gosh, because of

2285
02:02:03,920 --> 02:02:05,760
Speaker 1: the call on the field, we really can't get this

2286
02:02:05,880 --> 02:02:11,760
Speaker 1: one right. Yeah, And it's going that's stabbed us in

2287
02:02:11,880 --> 02:02:16,240
Speaker 1: the back more than one, more than once, and it's

2288
02:02:16,560 --> 02:02:22,320
Speaker 1: it's absolutely incredibly frustrating when the video shows it. When

2289
02:02:22,360 --> 02:02:24,320
Speaker 1: there's no when there's two different angles of the exact

2290
02:02:24,360 --> 02:02:27,600
Speaker 1: same play, everyone can see. Everybody can see it. And

2291
02:02:27,800 --> 02:02:33,040
Speaker 1: because forward progress was called, or because the play was

2292
02:02:33,120 --> 02:02:37,360
Speaker 1: blown dead, or because whatever, they can't get it right.

2293
02:02:37,840 --> 02:02:41,240
Speaker 1: And that is incredibly frustrating when it goes against you. Yeah,

2294
02:02:41,240 --> 02:02:43,040
Speaker 1: because there's nothing that should stand in the way of

2295
02:02:43,120 --> 02:02:46,040
Speaker 1: getting the call right. So that's what's wrong with some

2296
02:02:46,200 --> 02:02:50,240
Speaker 1: of the esoteric things that are contained within certain kinds

2297
02:02:50,280 --> 02:02:53,840
Speaker 1: of plays on that prevent film review from overturning the call.

2298
02:02:53,920 --> 02:02:56,680
Speaker 1: It's preposterous based on how it's called on the field,

2299
02:02:56,720 --> 02:02:59,560
Speaker 1: you can't do a certain review or reversal. It's insane.

2300
02:03:00,040 --> 02:03:03,440
Speaker 1: Just get it right. Yeah. And on the Tyler that

2301
02:03:03,520 --> 02:03:08,080
Speaker 1: you're talking about, they call an interception, which I don't

2302
02:03:08,080 --> 02:03:10,520
Speaker 1: know how they call an interception on the field. At

2303
02:03:10,840 --> 02:03:16,360
Speaker 1: the at the very least, it's dual dual controls, dual possession,

2304
02:03:16,880 --> 02:03:21,200
Speaker 1: and and New York decides to go, we'll let it stand.

2305
02:03:21,640 --> 02:03:24,640
Speaker 1: And when you know, and and that's because they don't

2306
02:03:24,680 --> 02:03:27,440
Speaker 1: have a camera that's between the two bodies to see

2307
02:03:27,440 --> 02:03:30,600
Speaker 1: that it's dual control. Your guy goes up, brings it

2308
02:03:30,720 --> 02:03:34,600
Speaker 1: into his chest. Then the other guy comes in and

2309
02:03:35,240 --> 02:03:36,800
Speaker 1: on the ground. Well he did it while they were

2310
02:03:36,840 --> 02:03:38,400
Speaker 1: in the air, but they go to the ground together.

2311
02:03:38,920 --> 02:03:42,280
Speaker 1: You never see the guy gained control of it. And

2312
02:03:42,440 --> 02:03:44,920
Speaker 1: yet so it's it's one thing after another like that

2313
02:03:45,080 --> 02:03:49,120
Speaker 1: that that they will tell you in their explanation that

2314
02:03:49,200 --> 02:03:51,440
Speaker 1: their hands are tied by the way the rules are

2315
02:03:51,800 --> 02:03:56,480
Speaker 1: are construed to me hiding behind. But then you have

2316
02:03:56,640 --> 02:03:59,800
Speaker 1: them parachute in and go off the page and outside

2317
02:03:59,800 --> 02:04:02,840
Speaker 1: the rules to give the Houston Texans the ball back

2318
02:04:02,920 --> 02:04:05,400
Speaker 1: after they fumble away a kickoff returning their own end zone.

2319
02:04:05,760 --> 02:04:08,840
Speaker 1: Because you'll go out the rules in that situation, but

2320
02:04:08,960 --> 02:04:10,760
Speaker 1: you won't go outside the rules in a regular down

2321
02:04:10,800 --> 02:04:16,840
Speaker 1: and distance play. It's completely arbitrary and it's completely wrong

2322
02:04:17,200 --> 02:04:19,720
Speaker 1: the way they do it. And that's the problem. There's

2323
02:04:19,760 --> 02:04:22,360
Speaker 1: no consistency. All right, I think we've set our piece on.

2324
02:04:22,480 --> 02:04:24,040
Speaker 1: So you got me going a guy, I can't believe.

2325
02:04:24,040 --> 02:04:27,360
Speaker 1: I'm still yeah, let's escalate. Let's go to the phone.

2326
02:04:27,440 --> 02:04:29,360
Speaker 1: Let's see if Chris and Balls and Moore can change

2327
02:04:29,400 --> 02:04:31,440
Speaker 1: the conversation. Here. Chris, you're on one bills live. What

2328
02:04:31,480 --> 02:04:34,600
Speaker 1: do you have for us? Hey, good afternoon, you too.

2329
02:04:34,640 --> 02:04:36,280
Speaker 1: I'm sorry that was the first time I heard that call,

2330
02:04:36,360 --> 02:04:39,440
Speaker 1: so I kind of have to chuckle, Um, weeks ago,

2331
02:04:39,600 --> 02:04:42,960
Speaker 1: so you can do it. Um, Yeah, I'm a Builds fan.

2332
02:04:43,000 --> 02:04:44,839
Speaker 1: I live down here in Baltimore. I'm actually a firefighter

2333
02:04:44,880 --> 02:04:47,080
Speaker 1: here in Baltimore, so nice to go along with Steve.

2334
02:04:47,160 --> 02:04:50,080
Speaker 1: When I worked Saturday, I tried everything, actually to get

2335
02:04:50,120 --> 02:04:52,320
Speaker 1: off the game. I couldn't get a swap from guys.

2336
02:04:52,360 --> 02:04:53,800
Speaker 1: So I'm like, maybe we'll be lucky, we'll be able

2337
02:04:53,800 --> 02:04:57,400
Speaker 1: to watch the game. So step on dig scores. It's

2338
02:04:57,480 --> 02:05:00,720
Speaker 1: twenty four ten and we get a building fires I'm

2339
02:05:00,760 --> 02:05:02,600
Speaker 1: gone for about two hours from the firehouse. I have

2340
02:05:02,680 --> 02:05:05,040
Speaker 1: no idea what's going on in the game. I get back,

2341
02:05:05,160 --> 02:05:08,080
Speaker 1: it's my phone. My father had texted me, and he goes, Oh,

2342
02:05:08,480 --> 02:05:10,480
Speaker 1: he goes, I almost had a heart attack. I can't handle, like,

2343
02:05:10,600 --> 02:05:12,560
Speaker 1: what happened? What happened? You know? So it's kind of

2344
02:05:12,560 --> 02:05:15,080
Speaker 1: funny to hear that account of it, because I wasn't

2345
02:05:15,120 --> 02:05:18,480
Speaker 1: really pretty to it in real time. Yeah, about the

2346
02:05:18,560 --> 02:05:22,800
Speaker 1: matchup in particular, All last week, you know, everyone was

2347
02:05:22,880 --> 02:05:24,400
Speaker 1: kind of like, how do we want this to play out?

2348
02:05:24,440 --> 02:05:26,840
Speaker 1: Who do we want to play? And I kind of

2349
02:05:27,000 --> 02:05:29,760
Speaker 1: came to my own opinion that I really like our guys.

2350
02:05:29,840 --> 02:05:33,400
Speaker 1: I think we're good. They're not a perfect team, the Bills,

2351
02:05:34,040 --> 02:05:36,480
Speaker 1: but when it matters, he's seeming to get it done.

2352
02:05:37,200 --> 02:05:38,880
Speaker 1: And part of me almost feels like we have to

2353
02:05:39,000 --> 02:05:41,360
Speaker 1: be the Ravens for people to have taken us serious

2354
02:05:41,400 --> 02:05:43,280
Speaker 1: this year. I feel like we have to be the

2355
02:05:43,400 --> 02:05:45,640
Speaker 1: Chiefs for people to believe that we are that good

2356
02:05:45,680 --> 02:05:48,640
Speaker 1: of a team. So while I'm nervous about the matchup,

2357
02:05:49,160 --> 02:05:50,680
Speaker 1: I actually feel this is a road we got to

2358
02:05:50,720 --> 02:05:53,200
Speaker 1: do to show people that we are We're back. Bufflow

2359
02:05:53,400 --> 02:05:55,720
Speaker 1: is here to stay. We were here to meet it,

2360
02:05:55,840 --> 02:05:58,120
Speaker 1: and I'm looking forward in matchup. It's it's a nerve wracking,

2361
02:05:58,200 --> 02:05:59,800
Speaker 1: but I think we'll be able to get it done

2362
02:05:59,840 --> 02:06:02,360
Speaker 1: this week. All right, good Chris. You can't tend to

2363
02:06:02,400 --> 02:06:04,400
Speaker 1: forget how good a season your guys have had and

2364
02:06:04,480 --> 02:06:07,240
Speaker 1: how many big moments they've they've met, right and all

2365
02:06:07,280 --> 02:06:09,400
Speaker 1: of that. So yeah, and they've been I mean, the

2366
02:06:09,480 --> 02:06:12,160
Speaker 1: way they played down the stretch, they were very deserving of,

2367
02:06:12,680 --> 02:06:15,600
Speaker 1: you know, complete and other trust and belief in them.

2368
02:06:17,560 --> 02:06:20,040
Speaker 1: Then the nail biter kind of shakes your confidence a

2369
02:06:20,040 --> 02:06:22,840
Speaker 1: little bit. Understandably so as far as the fan base,

2370
02:06:22,960 --> 02:06:25,640
Speaker 1: is concerned. And then knowing that Baltimore, I think, in

2371
02:06:26,120 --> 02:06:28,760
Speaker 1: most people's opinion is one of the top three teams

2372
02:06:28,800 --> 02:06:33,440
Speaker 1: in the conference, it makes you wonder, like, can they

2373
02:06:33,480 --> 02:06:37,680
Speaker 1: handle this test. I said it on Monday and I'll

2374
02:06:37,680 --> 02:06:40,600
Speaker 1: say it again. I expect the Bills to play a

2375
02:06:40,920 --> 02:06:43,720
Speaker 1: much better game this week than they did last week.

2376
02:06:43,760 --> 02:06:47,560
Speaker 1: And I'm talking in terms of total team performance. Josh

2377
02:06:47,640 --> 02:06:50,960
Speaker 1: Allen played very well last week. He carried this team and,

2378
02:06:51,120 --> 02:06:53,360
Speaker 1: as Ross Tucker said, willed them to a victory. I

2379
02:06:53,480 --> 02:06:57,920
Speaker 1: believe that wholeheartedly he did. He was the difference this week.

2380
02:06:58,160 --> 02:07:01,000
Speaker 1: I expect a better total, full team effort from this

2381
02:07:01,080 --> 02:07:04,240
Speaker 1: team because they know collectively they did not meet the

2382
02:07:04,320 --> 02:07:06,960
Speaker 1: standard that their head coach holds them too. And I

2383
02:07:07,080 --> 02:07:09,520
Speaker 1: think they will be laser focused this week and I

2384
02:07:09,600 --> 02:07:12,000
Speaker 1: think they will play better this week as a collective.

2385
02:07:12,320 --> 02:07:14,960
Speaker 1: I really believe that. Yeah, and it's going to be

2386
02:07:14,960 --> 02:07:18,200
Speaker 1: a completely different type of game I think than it

2387
02:07:18,320 --> 02:07:21,600
Speaker 1: was a week ago. Now. Certainly the Ravens may have,

2388
02:07:22,040 --> 02:07:27,400
Speaker 1: you know, looking at the Colt game, may say, you know, yeah,

2389
02:07:27,920 --> 02:07:30,160
Speaker 1: we may let's do that. Let's hang onto the ball,

2390
02:07:30,280 --> 02:07:32,280
Speaker 1: keep them off the field, trying shorten the game I'll

2391
02:07:32,280 --> 02:07:35,120
Speaker 1: say this. You have to play like the Colts did

2392
02:07:35,680 --> 02:07:38,600
Speaker 1: last week. You got to play a perfect game to

2393
02:07:39,040 --> 02:07:42,160
Speaker 1: make that happen, because if you don't, you know, you

2394
02:07:42,320 --> 02:07:46,160
Speaker 1: end up going in a halftime after dominating down four points.

2395
02:07:47,000 --> 02:07:49,520
Speaker 1: That's what happened to the Colts last week. So you

2396
02:07:49,600 --> 02:07:51,920
Speaker 1: can't hang onto the ball all the time. And with

2397
02:07:52,000 --> 02:07:54,040
Speaker 1: an offense like the Bills, if you if you mess

2398
02:07:54,160 --> 02:07:56,640
Speaker 1: up on one of your possessions, which the Colts really

2399
02:07:56,720 --> 02:07:59,280
Speaker 1: never did, if you mess up on one of your possessions,

2400
02:08:00,120 --> 02:08:03,120
Speaker 1: now you're down two scores. So and that's what happened

2401
02:08:03,120 --> 02:08:05,480
Speaker 1: to the Colts. Yeah, and then they had to climb

2402
02:08:05,560 --> 02:08:07,480
Speaker 1: back into it. They were down two touchdowns at the

2403
02:08:07,480 --> 02:08:09,440
Speaker 1: beginning of the fourth quarter and they almost got it done.

2404
02:08:09,680 --> 02:08:13,960
Speaker 1: So it's a It shortens the game, but it also

2405
02:08:14,320 --> 02:08:17,520
Speaker 1: makes it makes shortens your margin of error because every

2406
02:08:17,600 --> 02:08:20,600
Speaker 1: play is so precious. You gotta stay on the field.

2407
02:08:20,600 --> 02:08:22,080
Speaker 1: You gotta hang onto the ball. You can want to

2408
02:08:22,280 --> 02:08:24,680
Speaker 1: you want to keep the ball, but not necessarily score

2409
02:08:24,760 --> 02:08:28,000
Speaker 1: real fast, you know that kind of thing. You gotta

2410
02:08:28,000 --> 02:08:30,360
Speaker 1: play field position or what happens and one play goes

2411
02:08:30,440 --> 02:08:33,600
Speaker 1: against you, well, then it hamstrings your ability to execute

2412
02:08:33,640 --> 02:08:36,240
Speaker 1: your game plan. Let's go over the phones one more time.

2413
02:08:36,280 --> 02:08:38,000
Speaker 1: We go to Dick and Webster. Dick, what do you

2414
02:08:38,080 --> 02:08:41,040
Speaker 1: have for us here on One Bill's Live. First of all,

2415
02:08:41,080 --> 02:08:42,600
Speaker 1: I want to see you guys are doing a great

2416
02:08:42,680 --> 02:08:46,320
Speaker 1: job as always. I'm calling about the Pittsburgh Cleveland game.

2417
02:08:46,360 --> 02:08:49,040
Speaker 1: The first snap and they got a question with me

2418
02:08:49,600 --> 02:08:55,160
Speaker 1: be more towards Steve when the ball when Tony sniffed

2419
02:08:55,200 --> 02:08:58,000
Speaker 1: the ball over Robson's Burger's head, rather than the two

2420
02:08:58,080 --> 02:09:01,960
Speaker 1: guys go back and try this corral the ball, what

2421
02:09:02,080 --> 02:09:03,800
Speaker 1: would have happened if they kicked it out of the

2422
02:09:03,960 --> 02:09:07,360
Speaker 1: end zone, could about a bounce and maintained possession. No,

2423
02:09:07,440 --> 02:09:09,320
Speaker 1: it would have been a safety and they would have kicked.

2424
02:09:09,400 --> 02:09:11,520
Speaker 1: They would have got given two points to the Browns,

2425
02:09:11,600 --> 02:09:13,200
Speaker 1: and then they would have punted to the Browns from

2426
02:09:13,200 --> 02:09:15,760
Speaker 1: their twenty. So it would have been a better result

2427
02:09:15,800 --> 02:09:21,480
Speaker 1: than the touchdown that the Browns got. Yes, no question, right, Yeah,

2428
02:09:21,600 --> 02:09:24,040
Speaker 1: that would have been That would have been the other

2429
02:09:24,120 --> 02:09:26,480
Speaker 1: option I suppose. I suppose, if you're good enough, you

2430
02:09:26,520 --> 02:09:28,080
Speaker 1: could have tried to kick it out of bounds over

2431
02:09:28,160 --> 02:09:30,800
Speaker 1: the sideline and then you would get the ball back.

2432
02:09:31,560 --> 02:09:34,160
Speaker 1: Right in that scenario, But yeah, you kick it through

2433
02:09:34,200 --> 02:09:36,160
Speaker 1: the end zone. It's a safety your own end zone,

2434
02:09:36,160 --> 02:09:39,120
Speaker 1: that's right. So the sideline. If they kicked it out

2435
02:09:39,160 --> 02:09:41,200
Speaker 1: of the sideline, then it would have been an out

2436
02:09:41,240 --> 02:09:44,120
Speaker 1: of bounds. Yeah, but that things sitting in the middle

2437
02:09:44,120 --> 02:09:45,920
Speaker 1: of the field. You're talking about a twenty five yard

2438
02:09:46,040 --> 02:09:47,680
Speaker 1: kick to get it over the sideline, you better be

2439
02:09:47,840 --> 02:09:49,480
Speaker 1: I mean, unless you're kickers out there. I don't know

2440
02:09:49,480 --> 02:09:51,800
Speaker 1: if you feel too confident in alignment doing that right

2441
02:09:52,360 --> 02:09:55,080
Speaker 1: or Ben Roethlisberger doing it. Yeah, so yeah, that's true,

2442
02:09:55,120 --> 02:09:57,280
Speaker 1: and I think you know, people are teasing like that

2443
02:09:57,400 --> 02:09:59,280
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger or whatever didn't want to do it. What

2444
02:09:59,360 --> 02:10:03,720
Speaker 1: happens is as a player, you know, Bend I think

2445
02:10:03,760 --> 02:10:05,440
Speaker 1: did the right thing. He was gonna let his running

2446
02:10:05,440 --> 02:10:07,240
Speaker 1: back cover it because running backs kind of used to

2447
02:10:07,280 --> 02:10:08,760
Speaker 1: doing that kind of thing. You know, he kind of

2448
02:10:08,840 --> 02:10:11,080
Speaker 1: rough and tumble, and you don't want to both jump

2449
02:10:11,160 --> 02:10:13,560
Speaker 1: on it because then you keep it away from each other,

2450
02:10:14,120 --> 02:10:16,080
Speaker 1: and you know, the worst happens. Well, you know, the

2451
02:10:16,160 --> 02:10:19,320
Speaker 1: worst actually ended up happening anyway, when the running back

2452
02:10:19,360 --> 02:10:22,040
Speaker 1: couldn't corral the thing because he was you know, his

2453
02:10:22,160 --> 02:10:25,040
Speaker 1: heart was in his throat too, So that was a

2454
02:10:25,240 --> 02:10:28,160
Speaker 1: catastrophic start to that game and never got any better.

2455
02:10:28,280 --> 02:10:31,640
Speaker 1: And those kinds of plays puts everybody on edge, especially

2456
02:10:31,680 --> 02:10:33,520
Speaker 1: at the beginning of a game. You know, it's a

2457
02:10:33,560 --> 02:10:35,600
Speaker 1: playoff game, you know it's winning, go home, and even

2458
02:10:35,640 --> 02:10:38,560
Speaker 1: though there's fifty nine minutes left in the game, fifty

2459
02:10:38,640 --> 02:10:40,840
Speaker 1: nine and a half, it just puts everybody on edge.

2460
02:10:41,000 --> 02:10:43,880
Speaker 1: And from the jump and it was yeah, he does,

2461
02:10:43,920 --> 02:10:45,800
Speaker 1: and I believe me, I've got I've got some experience

2462
02:10:45,880 --> 02:10:49,160
Speaker 1: in that kind of stuff. It almost from that moment

2463
02:10:49,640 --> 02:10:53,400
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh had to question whether they were mentally ready to

2464
02:10:53,480 --> 02:10:57,200
Speaker 1: play the game. It makes you question everything and say,

2465
02:10:57,280 --> 02:10:58,600
Speaker 1: what's going on? Are we you know, are come on,

2466
02:10:58,720 --> 02:11:02,200
Speaker 1: let's go, guys going on? Right? You start questioning it? Yeah,

2467
02:11:02,240 --> 02:11:04,480
Speaker 1: And that's that's when the doubt creeps in. That's when

2468
02:11:04,520 --> 02:11:06,600
Speaker 1: your doubts creep in about That's when you're in trouble paired.

2469
02:11:06,640 --> 02:11:08,400
Speaker 1: You were are we you know? Are these you know?

2470
02:11:08,520 --> 02:11:10,720
Speaker 1: That kind of and then it just they never recovered

2471
02:11:10,760 --> 02:11:13,560
Speaker 1: from there. And that's that's the danger of having a

2472
02:11:13,600 --> 02:11:17,360
Speaker 1: play like that happened. So, which is why execution is

2473
02:11:17,400 --> 02:11:19,960
Speaker 1: so important. Break time for us, when we come back,

2474
02:11:20,000 --> 02:11:23,320
Speaker 1: we'll close things up with what have we learned? So

2475
02:11:23,440 --> 02:11:26,320
Speaker 1: stay tuned for that. Steve and I with more along

2476
02:11:26,360 --> 02:11:29,280
Speaker 1: with maybe some final thoughts here next on one Bills

2477
02:11:29,320 --> 02:11:32,480
Speaker 1: Live presented by Kalid to Health, It's Buffalo Bills or Radio.

2478
02:11:47,800 --> 02:11:50,680
Speaker 1: What have we learned from today's show? Brought to you

2479
02:11:50,800 --> 02:11:54,800
Speaker 1: by Skyworks, the official construction equipment rental company of the

2480
02:11:54,880 --> 02:11:57,600
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. We've learned that the Jets are moving ever

2481
02:11:57,760 --> 02:12:03,520
Speaker 1: closer to a potential decision on a head coach. Robert Salah,

2482
02:12:03,600 --> 02:12:06,720
Speaker 1: the Niners defensive coordinator, flown in today for his second

2483
02:12:06,760 --> 02:12:10,200
Speaker 1: interview to our knowledge, the first such candidate of the

2484
02:12:10,320 --> 02:12:13,320
Speaker 1: Jets for their head coaching vacancy to get a second interview.

2485
02:12:13,720 --> 02:12:16,240
Speaker 1: And now there is words Steve that the Eagles are

2486
02:12:16,320 --> 02:12:19,680
Speaker 1: interested in interviewing Silah for there now vacant head coaching

2487
02:12:19,800 --> 02:12:22,960
Speaker 1: job as well. Do you think it prompts the Jets

2488
02:12:23,560 --> 02:12:30,880
Speaker 1: to offer him the job today? That's a jetsy thing

2489
02:12:30,960 --> 02:12:33,000
Speaker 1: to do. It is a jetsy thing to do, but

2490
02:12:33,080 --> 02:12:35,560
Speaker 1: the Jets don't have a whole lot to sell. That's

2491
02:12:35,600 --> 02:12:39,080
Speaker 1: tremendously appealing. That's like, hey, welcome to the division to

2492
02:12:39,160 --> 02:12:42,400
Speaker 1: be our head coach. Have fun defending Josh Allen for

2493
02:12:42,480 --> 02:12:45,920
Speaker 1: the next ten years. You got a solution for them. Yeah,

2494
02:12:46,080 --> 02:12:49,440
Speaker 1: coaching against Bill Belichick and Floors and those guys to

2495
02:12:49,680 --> 02:12:53,080
Speaker 1: ten win teams plus prefer Philadelphia Plane. In that division

2496
02:12:53,120 --> 02:12:57,240
Speaker 1: you might win faster. Maybe NFC East you may win

2497
02:12:57,360 --> 02:12:59,440
Speaker 1: faster there. It's a big stage two. You know, on

2498
02:12:59,480 --> 02:13:01,840
Speaker 1: the Big four markets. You always you repair the relationship

2499
02:13:01,920 --> 02:13:04,839
Speaker 1: with Wentz. You find an offensive mind that you respect.

2500
02:13:05,880 --> 02:13:08,200
Speaker 1: The big talk is he's gonna bring Lafleur's brother with

2501
02:13:08,360 --> 02:13:11,600
Speaker 1: him to be his offensive coach. Who's out there in

2502
02:13:11,680 --> 02:13:17,440
Speaker 1: San France? All right? Another Sean McVay. Yes, guy who

2503
02:13:17,480 --> 02:13:20,200
Speaker 1: had a cup of coffee with Sean mcvayh you had

2504
02:13:20,240 --> 02:13:23,000
Speaker 1: many cups of coffee with Sean McVay. I'm sure. I mean,

2505
02:13:23,720 --> 02:13:25,520
Speaker 1: I don't know, yes, but that is a Jetsy thing

2506
02:13:25,560 --> 02:13:29,040
Speaker 1: to do. Hire it before somebody else does. Just offer

2507
02:13:29,120 --> 02:13:31,880
Speaker 1: him the job now in case nobody else wants him.

2508
02:13:32,800 --> 02:13:36,640
Speaker 1: You ever thought of that? He is in demand. Detroit

2509
02:13:36,760 --> 02:13:39,320
Speaker 1: likes him, So you got this. So the Jets have

2510
02:13:39,400 --> 02:13:40,920
Speaker 1: this young quarterback. They want to get things going on,

2511
02:13:41,000 --> 02:13:44,800
Speaker 1: so they hire a defensive guy. That's Jetsy. That's the

2512
02:13:44,920 --> 02:13:47,560
Speaker 1: Jets way to do it. Well, they tried it the

2513
02:13:47,600 --> 02:13:49,400
Speaker 1: other way. They didn't go out so far so well,

2514
02:13:49,480 --> 02:13:51,960
Speaker 1: so I don't Well, they've tried, they've tried it both ways.

2515
02:13:52,000 --> 02:13:54,680
Speaker 1: Todd Bowles was the coach, Adam Gase was the coach.

2516
02:13:55,280 --> 02:13:57,320
Speaker 1: They might be flipping back to defense again. Who the

2517
02:13:57,360 --> 02:13:59,920
Speaker 1: heck knows what they're doing. Nobody knows, all right, they

2518
02:14:00,280 --> 02:14:02,080
Speaker 1: don't even know. We'll talk about that tomorrow. We can

2519
02:14:02,120 --> 02:14:04,560
Speaker 1: talk about it tomorrow. Join us tomorrow noon to three.
