1
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 1: This This one Bill's Live presented by Calida Health.

2
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 2: Well, how the heck are you here on this Thursday?

3
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 2: Chris Brown Steve Casper with you. That was a dramatic

4
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 2: glasses removal there. I like that.

5
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 1: That went great meaning behind it.

6
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 2: Can you turn the sound off of your Microsoft surface please,

7
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 2: we're trying to do a radio show.

8
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 1: I'm watching the Ravens Dolphins game.

9
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 2: I know you're you're doing work. You're doing work.

10
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: I get it. Let me just say that. Well, I'm

11
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: not gonna say it. I'm you want to say I do.

12
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say it. There's a couple of plays

13
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,400
Speaker 1: in pole in glasshouses kind of thing. Yes, exactly a

14
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 1: little bit. There's a couple of plays in there. I was.

15
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: I was shocked at how awkward. Yeah, some of the

16
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,959
Speaker 1: players are looking just a couple of games. And the

17
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:19,680
Speaker 1: top two had got in the pocket one time and

18
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 1: he looked like like he was doing something else, like

19
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:25,960
Speaker 1: he was, you know, like he was in the kitchen

20
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: stepping over spilt milk or something. I don't know what

21
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: it was. I'm gonna tack on the play and.

22
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go the other way here because I watched

23
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 2: that game too. I'm through about three quarters. I should

24
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 2: say I didn't watch the whole thing. Lamar Jackson could

25
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,400
Speaker 2: have set up a folding chair in the pocket, cracked

26
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 2: open a beer, and then thrown the football. There was

27
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 2: zero pass rush last week, and that was with Chubbs still.

28
00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:00,080
Speaker 1: Healthy, right for most of the game, Steve, I, he.

29
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 2: Counted, and I went and looked at next gen stats

30
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 2: to make sure I wasn't dreaming. Lamar Jackson had eight

31
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 2: snaps in which he had almost six seconds to throw

32
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 2: the ball. Do you want to know what he did

33
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 2: with those six seconds? On each of them? He was

34
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 2: seven for eight for one hundred and ninety seven yards

35
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 2: and two touchdowns. I think that.

36
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:24,639
Speaker 1: Take many plays.

37
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 2: So Steve that evidence alone, because I know. We talked

38
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 2: to Dan Orlovski on Tuesday and he said, mark my words,

39
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 2: Vic Fangio is going to rush three and drop eight

40
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 2: and force Josh to be patient, because blitzing Josh is

41
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:45,239
Speaker 2: a mistake in most cases. Right, But after last week

42
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 2: getting fifty six hung on them and zero pass rush,

43
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 2: I can't believe in my heart of hearts that Vic

44
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 2: Fangio and all of his NFL football wisdom is going

45
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 2: to rush three and drop eight for most of this game.

46
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 2: It's suicide.

47
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 1: He'll do it once in a while for sure, but

48
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 1: he'll also bring six, right, so.

49
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,920
Speaker 2: He's got to blitz at least a little bit. Yeah,

50
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 2: because that was that was like death by getting carved

51
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 2: up by a spoon. I mean it was painful. It

52
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,799
Speaker 2: was a it was a quick death, but paint in

53
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 2: the most painful way possible.

54
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, and think about it. So you're you're Vic Fangio

55
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,639
Speaker 1: and you get fifty fifty six. They got hung on them. Yes,

56
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: they get fifty six.

57
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 2: They still didn't blitz in the fourth quarter when the

58
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 2: game was over, Bradley Chubbs out of the game. They

59
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 2: scored three more touchdowns in like the last five minutes.

60
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: Yeah.

61
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 2: Now there was a vendetta there too because of the

62
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 2: Week two. If you remember Week we will come back

63
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 2: at Baltimore. That was the comeback game for Miami. I

64
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 2: think they were down thirty, came back and won the game,

65
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 2: and we're dancing all over Baltimore's field. Last year, Well

66
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 2: here we are. You know, fast forward a year and

67
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 2: a half later and they said, okay, we're gonna drop

68
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 2: fifty six on your head and see how you feel.

69
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: But I think think about this, and this is where

70
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: we at, and this is where you and I kind

71
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: of live our space here. We're you're VIC fan, We

72
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 1: think of ourselves. We're vic Fangio. Okay, So we just

73
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: got fifty six hung on us by Baltimore and Lamar,

74
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 1: and we got a team coming in here who is

75
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: who is like that? And we've seen b like that,

76
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: maybe not in the last month or so, cause they've

77
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 1: been spiderling. They dropped forty eight on us, but they

78
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 1: did drop yeah, forty eight. Right, So now we don't

79
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:34,559
Speaker 1: have Chubb, Jalen Phillips, Jalen Phillips, we do have Howard,

80
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 1: we do have Jalen Ramsey. So what are we gonna

81
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 1: do with this? With Josh Allen, this offensive line, these receivers,

82
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: what are we gonna do here? I mean, do you

83
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: do you force Josh to sit back and pick you apart?

84
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 1: Because maybe maybe you don't think Diggs is as good

85
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: as Odell Beckham Junior, and you think, you know, can

86
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: Haig's not as good as likely you know, those kind

87
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: of things. Bateman Davis isn't Bakeman Flowers, Jay Flowers, all

88
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: those guys. So you don't think the weapons in Buffalo

89
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 1: are as good as maybe they are in Baltimore. But

90
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: Josh has owned you this season. What are you thinking,

91
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: if you're Vic Fangio, how you're going to attack this

92
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: group of guys coming in here now?

93
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 2: Often maybe we need to go back and look at

94
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:29,840
Speaker 2: Week four Bill's Dolphins. Granted the two teams have changed considerably,

95
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 2: but what was the defensive approach in that game? Because

96
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 2: whatever it.

97
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: Was, it didn't work.

98
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 2: They had Cohu on digs, they had a coverage issue

99
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 2: that was a problem. They had no Ramsey, They had

100
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 2: no Ramsey, but they had Howard, but Cohu was playing

101
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 2: at outside corner and basically got undressed. Now they've got

102
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 2: Ramsey and they had justin Bethel as the nickel, which

103
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 2: is where cater Coho usually plays. So I believe what

104
00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:00,359
Speaker 2: they're going to do is they're gonna put Eli Apple

105
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 2: outside as Howard's replacement, Ramsey outside, Kohu in the slot

106
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 2: where he probably is best suited to play, and they

107
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 2: go that way. Yeah, maybe, but that's I don't think

108
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 2: they have a choice, right, They got an Apple is

109
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 2: not a great answer on the outside, make no mistake

110
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 2: about it.

111
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, they their past rush is gonna be hin hampered,

112
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 1: or you would think that it's gonna be hampered because

113
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: of Chubb's absence. They're gonna come into this game with

114
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: Christian Wilkins, Ray Kwan Davis and Zach Siler Seiler Sealer,

115
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 1: and then they got Van geekon Van Ginkel, I apologize,

116
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: I got to like that better. No, Van Ginkel, I

117
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: like Van Ginkle. He's a good player, Yeah, Duke Riley,

118
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,359
Speaker 1: David Long and then probably who's it going to be?

119
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: Cameron Good or Agba?

120
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 2: From what I've heard, Ogba is in the coach's doghouse.

121
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,040
Speaker 1: So okay, so it's Cameron.

122
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 2: Good, could be Cameron Good, could be, could be So

123
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 2: it's God gone it. Where are those numbers I had?

124
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 2: I got too many papers? I know.

125
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 1: I just think this this it's really intriguing because Vic

126
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 1: Fangio knows what he's doing over there. You know, he

127
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: makes he makes chicken salad.

128
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 2: He's gonna have to this week because he's really shorthanded.

129
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: And it's uh, it's it's a really an unknown. I

130
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: think you know that we all know that. You know

131
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 1: their offense is high powered and high flying, and two

132
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: is going to drop back and the ball is going

133
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 1: to be gone. Bills have had a pretty good answer

134
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 1: for that at times, you know, coming into this. But

135
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: I mean, Tyreek's out, Tyreek's probably gonna play waddle. Maybe

136
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: maybe not. I don't know. It's a it's I think

137
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 1: this is really going to be a good game, and

138
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 1: I think it's all hands on deck for Miami. I

139
00:07:55,600 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 1: don't I don't buy into you know, let's we're in

140
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Let's get ready. You got to get home field.

141
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: If you're the Dolphins.

142
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 2: Steve, you weren't here yesterday, so I didn't get to

143
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:14,239
Speaker 2: share this with you. My son's only home from college

144
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 2: for another few days, so we're just trying to do

145
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 2: a couple of things and then before he heads back

146
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 2: to school this weekend, so we decide to go to

147
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 2: a Tuesday night trivia at a local establishment, shall we

148
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 2: say so. It's me, my son, and my wife, and

149
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 2: we're game players, like we're big, you know, don't worry,

150
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 2: we're not super over the top competitive. Although my wife's

151
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,559
Speaker 2: family's probably laughing at me right now. I have a

152
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 2: little problem. But any event, we go to this Tuesday

153
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 2: night trivia and my son is the geography and history buff. Okay,

154
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 2: I'm obviously sports, right, and then my wife helps with

155
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 2: movies and TV that kind of stuff. Right, So you've

156
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 2: got so we have a well rounded team. You've got

157
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 2: least three genres cutings. So we're slowly through the rounds

158
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 2: moving up the leader board. You know, we missed a

159
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 2: few here, you know, but we but we're getting most

160
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 2: of them. Okay, and you get to the last question,

161
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 2: and the last question, if you answer it correctly, you

162
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:33,319
Speaker 2: double whatever your point total is.

163
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 1: Oh okay.

164
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 2: If you don't answer it correctly, you lose all your points.

165
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 2: So it is an all or nothing last answer.

166
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: So the last answer, So it's dolphin Bill's Week eighteen,

167
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:45,559
Speaker 1: game two.

168
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 2: So it's the last question, okay, and we're leading. We're

169
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 2: at the top of the leaderboard, but only by I

170
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 2: think twenty points. Twenty or thirty points were upright, And

171
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 2: this last question, uestion is worth everything you got, so

172
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:04,680
Speaker 2: it's like final Jeopardy, you know.

173
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I'm with you.

174
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 2: The question was what popular national landmark was named after

175
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 2: a famous New York lawyer. I looked at my wife,

176
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:28,719
Speaker 2: my son. We don't even have a fathom of an.

177
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 1: Idea named after a famous New Yorker, new.

178
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 2: York lawyer, New York national landmark. It's not like a

179
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 2: landmark that's in New York State. It's a national popular

180
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 2: national landmark. And for the life of us, we could not.

181
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 2: And they also said, built in the nineteen twenties.

182
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: I know Hoover Dan.

183
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 2: It is not Hoover Dale.

184
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 1: Oh Man, Okay, go ahead. So he was a president,

185
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: but they always so we had no clue.

186
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 2: But now we're thinking, well, dang it, we're only up

187
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 2: the three thirty points. Do we do we take a

188
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 2: swing here? Or is discretion the better part of valor

189
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 2: do we just sit it out? Because you can sit

190
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 2: it out and not answer and just take your points

191
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 2: and hope it's enough.

192
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: I think if yeah, if you're in yeah, it might

193
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: have been. And we were thinking it might have been

194
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 1: the move right, thinking.

195
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 2: If this questions hard for us, it's gotta be pretty

196
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 2: hard for everybody else too, you know, unless we got

197
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 2: some Because I'm looking at my wife, who's an attorney,

198
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 2: she has no idea, right, So we choose famous, we

199
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 2: choose not to answer, and and and nobody else got it,

200
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 2: so we ended up winning.

201
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 1: So and it's okay. So what was the The answer.

202
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 2: Is Mount Rushmore. It's Mount Rushmore, Like would you have

203
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 2: ever guessed that?

204
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 1: No, Mount Rushmore is named after a famous New York lawyer.

205
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 2: It is named after attorney Charles E. Rushmore, who was

206
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 2: instrumental in surveying the land out there. It's the bad Lands, right,

207
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 2: is that right?

208
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:08,199
Speaker 1: Yes, battle in the Dakota South Dakota, North Dakota.

209
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 2: So he surveyed a lot of that land in the

210
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 2: eighteen eighties, and I guess they felt it had to

211
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:16,679
Speaker 2: be named after him.

212
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: Why would a lawyer go out and survey That's an

213
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 1: excellent question.

214
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 2: Steve didn't go that deep into it, and our listeners

215
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 2: probably don't want us to either, But it was a

216
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 2: question that I had hadn't the foggiest idea. And I

217
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 2: have spent my whole life living in New York State. Yeah,

218
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 2: you know, as a resident.

219
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 1: I could not.

220
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I never earn heard of that guy, Charles E. Rushmore.

221
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 1: I haven't either, now I have. Now there you go, stunning.

222
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 1: I'll file away from absolutely stunning.

223
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 2: Hoover damn. You know he was a president obviously, but

224
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:50,680
Speaker 2: sometimes they do that to you New York State.

225
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 1: But I didn't know.

226
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, Roosevelt is right. Both Roosevelt's actually Rockefeller.

227
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 1: All right, Yeah, so I yeah, I always thought that

228
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: they always give you one qualification. Everybody's famous for something else, right.

229
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:06,839
Speaker 2: So hold on, let me give you the best part.

230
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:11,680
Speaker 2: So we win it. So it's like, all right, but

231
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 2: what did we win?

232
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: What did you win?

233
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 2: We win a thirty dollars gift card to the same

234
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:25,679
Speaker 2: place we're at. Oh, and it must be used that night,

235
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:26,839
Speaker 2: next Tuesday only.

236
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 1: Oh, next tuesday.

237
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 2: We got to come back.

238
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 1: You gotta defend your title. That's all right, that's how

239
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 1: I get it.

240
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 2: Uh, but it was a good time, so we probably

241
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 2: will go back. But yeah, that that one, I was stumped.

242
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 2: I had no clue, no clue, and apparently nobody else

243
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 2: did either. So it was a really hard question. But

244
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 2: I guess the last one for all the marbles should

245
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 2: be right as well.

246
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 1: It should be.

247
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 2: So we we escaped?

248
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 1: How do we get on? How do we get into

249
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:51,439
Speaker 1: the weeds?

250
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 3: There?

251
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: How did that?

252
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 2: I told you about something we did with for fun,

253
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 2: a little leisure time? All right, So I apologize that

254
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 2: took far longer than it's needed to. Bill's practice is

255
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 2: taking place right now in the field house today due

256
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 2: to some of the snowfall and frozen ground that we

257
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 2: have on the grass fields, because you know how coach

258
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 2: McDermot would prefer to play and practice on grass, especially

259
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 2: when your game is on grass. Yeah, so I don't

260
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 2: know what the reasons were, but in any event, they're

261
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 2: inside practicing on the turf. It's just started ten minutes ago.

262
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 2: So we'll try to get you a practice update as

263
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 2: best we can as to who is participating and who

264
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 2: might be on the side, although everybody was participating yesterday,

265
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 2: so there were a couple of veteran rest guys. But

266
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 2: for all intents and purposes, we will get you an

267
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 2: update as soon as one is available. We'll also try

268
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 2: to check the social media channels for the Dolphins reporters

269
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 2: because their injury report is far worse than Buffalo as

270
00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 2: a matter of fact, and I tweeted this out yes

271
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 2: esterday when the Wednesday injury report for the Dolphins was released.

272
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 2: Steve Yep, I don't know if you saw this, but

00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 2: linebacker trying to come back from injury. Lester Cotton, starting guard,

288
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 2: Liam Eikenberg, starting center, Tyreek Hill, starting receiver, Javon Holland,

289
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 2: starting safety, Robert Hunt's starting guard, Austin Jackson, starting right tackle,

290
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 2: David Long starting inside linebacker, and Duke Riley starting in

291
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 2: place of Jerome Baker at linebacker.

292
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, Holy crow, And that's the Bills have only insane

293
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 1: and the Bills have five guys listed, Leonard, Floyd and Vaughan.

294
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 1: Those they didn't practice because there was veteran rest day,

295
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 1: and then Floyd's got the rib thing he's dealing with.

296
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 1: Then you got Damar Micah. They were limited, yeah, and

297
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 1: Josh they were all limited. Josh was full.

298
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 2: But that's nuts.

299
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 1: Dolphins got a long list and a lot of teams

300
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: do at this point. The Bills have been there in

301
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,719
Speaker 1: different years. But you know, they got all their hit

302
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:13,199
Speaker 1: they got they got hit early. That.

303
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's that's a tough way to go into a

304
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 2: foot Yeah, I mean, I know that was only Wednesday's report.

305
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 2: Maybe it gets considerably better today. Maybe you're just giving

306
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 2: guys an extra day after that. Would Baltimore you.

307
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 1: Know, yeah, and you knew that too when you could

308
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 1: see that game when Baltimore kind of got up on

309
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 1: him as like thirty five thirteen or something like that,

310
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:40,119
Speaker 1: and Bolt and then Miami scored to make it a

311
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 1: little closer, and Baltimore just put their foot on the

312
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:43,640
Speaker 1: gas and just.

313
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 2: Oh there was no let up. There was no letter

314
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,400
Speaker 2: there that was personal. Oh yeah, that was personal.

315
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's personal but I'll say this thing.

316
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 1: All those guys remembered the game from last year. They

317
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:57,160
Speaker 1: probably talked about it at length during the lead up,

318
00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 1: And that was a message from John Harbaugh, not to

319
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel the Dolphins. It was a John Harborough's team

320
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 1: say let's go, you know, let's not do you know

321
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 1: what I mean. It was a little therapeutic probably message

322
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 1: for John Harbaugh sent to his team. You knew there

323
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: was absolutely no pushback from anybody. I heard like two

324
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 1: people on social like, wow, they're throwing it at late

325
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 1: in a Yeah, they're throwing it late in the game. Yeah,

326
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: you remember what happened last year. Yeah, there's no way

327
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 1: Baltimore was letting up on those guys at all. So,

328
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,120
Speaker 1: and I think a lot of people understood the sentiment

329
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 1: behind it.

330
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 2: We will be talking more Dolphins in our number two.

331
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:44,119
Speaker 2: We have NFL Networks Cameron Wolf, who you know covers

332
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,200
Speaker 2: the league at large, but spends most of his time

333
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 2: in South Florida covering the Dolphins because that's where he

334
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 2: kind of began his career covering them before he went

335
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:56,439
Speaker 2: to NFL Network. And he actually just tweeted this an

336
00:18:56,520 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 2: hour ago. Dolphins defensive coordinator Vic Fangie expects Eli Apple

337
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 2: to remain the starting outside corner opposite Jalen Ramsey, with

338
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 2: Xavian Howard likely out, which, as we suspected, leaves Peter

339
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 2: Coohu in the slot where he probably fits best. So

340
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:17,120
Speaker 2: that's how it's probably going to look on the back

341
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 2: end for the Dolphins come Sunday night. And that according

342
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:25,199
Speaker 2: to Cameron Wolf from NFL Network, who undoubtedly had some

343
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 2: interview time with Vic Fangio. Fangio said Ramsey will ask

344
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 2: to shadow top wide receivers. They haven't done it much

345
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 2: because when it's Ramsey and Howard, both of those guys

346
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:43,920
Speaker 2: could handle a number one receiver assignment. But when Xavi

347
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 2: and Howard last missed a game, which was against the

348
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 2: Jets earlier this season, they did have Jalen Ramsey follow

349
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 2: Garrett Wilson of the Jets, So it would seem that

350
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 2: that is at least a possibility this week that Ramsey

351
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 2: will follow Digs all over the field. Diggs has gotten

352
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 2: the best of Ramsey a couple of times, did it.

353
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 2: In twenty twenty, beat him on a touchdown up here

354
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:09,880
Speaker 2: in a game won in the final seconds by by

355
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 2: the Bills. Over the Rams, and then in the Week

356
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:16,479
Speaker 2: one opener last year, he torched him on a broken

357
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 2: play for a long touchdown in the thirty one to

358
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 2: ten winning Week one against the Rams last year.

359
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I wouldn't beat That wouldn't shock me.

360
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:28,399
Speaker 2: If they haven't followed Steph, I think I would, Yeah,

361
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 2: for somebody else to beat you.

362
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:34,639
Speaker 1: Force you know, force Shakir or Davis or Kinkaid to

363
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,119
Speaker 1: beat you or Cook. You know you've seen that, Like

364
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 1: my odds, you've seen that movie with Digs. You know

365
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 1: how that one ends. So don't let that happening in

366
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:45,919
Speaker 1: or are you looking at the film and going, you know, hey,

367
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 1: he's I don't think he can beat us now, right,

368
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 1: he's had a struggle with a month, and I think

369
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:55,879
Speaker 1: he's tired, looks tired. Let's let's let's cover up King

370
00:20:55,960 --> 00:21:00,159
Speaker 1: Caid and Cook instead of Digs. Right. Uh, maybe, but

371
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:01,879
Speaker 1: that's not what I would think is going to happen.

372
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:04,879
Speaker 1: Trade one for one and then let them see what

373
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 1: they can do with the rest.

374
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:10,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, that wouldn't shock me. Certainly wouldn't shock me either.

375
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 2: We've got a full slate here on the show today.

376
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 2: We also want to remind you it's Thursday, and that

377
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:21,639
Speaker 2: means the Football Relationship Hotline, presented by Pepsi is open

378
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 2: for you. And if you're new to the Football Relationship Hotline,

379
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 2: it's basically a public service from Steve and myself for you,

380
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 2: the Bills fan. We know that during football season, watching

381
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 2: football games is the number one priority, but your life,

382
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 2: your job, your family, and your friends can sometimes get

383
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 2: in the way of that. If you have a problem

384
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:48,159
Speaker 2: this weekend with the game being on Sunday night, you

385
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 2: let us know what the issue is that's getting in

386
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:53,880
Speaker 2: the way of you watching this game, and we will

387
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 2: give you a constructive solution. So I'll just tell you

388
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 2: right now, my wife has an early workday on Monday.

389
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 2: She was hoping like heck to not get the Sunday

390
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:12,640
Speaker 2: night game, and now she is in a quandary. She's

391
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:14,479
Speaker 2: probably gonna watch it with a couple of our friends,

392
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 2: but she may have to bail at halftime because she's

393
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:22,200
Speaker 2: got early Monday, right, and that might be something else

394
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:27,119
Speaker 2: that's affecting Bills fans. I think most are probably just

395
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,399
Speaker 2: going to say the hell with sleep. I can sleep

396
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:31,640
Speaker 2: when I'm dead. We've watching the rest of this game.

397
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 1: We've been like finger quotes victims of this all season.

398
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:36,920
Speaker 1: You and I we're sitting up there and we're getting

399
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 1: ready for these Sunday night games. The Bills have had

400
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 1: a couple of and Monday night games. And the game,

401
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,199
Speaker 1: the game's kicking at eight twenty and it's in you know,

402
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 1: late November, early in December. It's dark at four, so

403
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 1: it's been dark for four and a half hours before

404
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 1: the game. It feels like that thing kicks off at

405
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 1: two am. I mean, it's like, oh my gosh, and it's,

406
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 1: you know it, eight twenty. It feels like it's past midnight.

407
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,360
Speaker 2: Days are getting longer now, oh my gosh. Only about

408
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 2: a week and a half into that.

409
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:10,119
Speaker 1: It's we've all been all the Bills fans know it.

410
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:14,400
Speaker 1: We've lived through this, and it's a it's a balancing

411
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,440
Speaker 1: act we all, you know, it's a year by year thing.

412
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 1: A lot of people just give me the one o'clock

413
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,159
Speaker 1: Sunday afternoon game. And then when you do that, and

414
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:25,120
Speaker 1: then and your team's never on Monday night football, never

415
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,120
Speaker 1: on Sunday night football, is start to get like, hey,

416
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 1: you know, how about a little yea little exposure love,

417
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:32,199
Speaker 1: So they start doing it and all of a sudden,

418
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 1: we've got like, what eight of these things this year.

419
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is the seventh primetime game for the Bills

420
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 2: this Sunday. So there you go. That's I mean, it's

421
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:44,400
Speaker 2: almost half the schedule.

422
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's unprecedented. It's a lot, it's unprecedented. I mean, yeah,

423
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:56,400
Speaker 1: nobody gets that many. I don't think it's.

424
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 2: Definitely on the high end usually I think six is

425
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 2: usually the Yeah. But yeah, so that's kind of where

426
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 2: that's at. We told you. NFL Networks Cameron Wolf will

427
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:10,160
Speaker 2: join us in our number two to discuss the Dolphins.

428
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 2: That's in about forty minutes time. Also, in about twenty

429
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:18,120
Speaker 2: minutes or so, Buffalo Bills dot com content coordinator Alec

430
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 2: White will join us to give us the lowdown on

431
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 2: what the Dolphins are saying about this game this week

432
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:30,360
Speaker 2: and after practice. If it's over in time, we will

433
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:33,639
Speaker 2: bring you comment from the post practice podium. Among the

434
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 2: players expected to speak, Buffalo's two Pro Bowlers, Steve Dion

435
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 2: Dawkins and James Cook expected to address the media after

436
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 2: practice today, along with Captain Gabe Davis. So we look

437
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:52,919
Speaker 2: forward to those conversations. But congrats to James Cook and

438
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:57,920
Speaker 2: Dion Dawkins selected as starters on the AFC squad. Probably

439
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 2: your number one snub, Josh Allen, I don't know. I

440
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:05,120
Speaker 2: will say this, Steve.

441
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 1: Like an alternate or Steve or Steve.

442
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,640
Speaker 2: This could work to our advantage on Sunday Night. Absolutely

443
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 2: tell me somebody isn't sore that people like Tua were

444
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 2: selected for. I understand why Too was selected for the

445
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,640
Speaker 2: Pro bowler. Guy that leads the league in passing yards.

446
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,479
Speaker 2: He's near the top in passer rating. He's had a

447
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 2: super ultra productive season and a scheme that is perfect

448
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 2: for him. So I get it. I totally get it.

449
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 2: And he was the leading fan vote getter too for

450
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 2: like the longest time, I think the entire season wire

451
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:39,879
Speaker 2: to wire, he was the number one vote getter, And

452
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 2: I get it. You know, Dolphins fans are excited about

453
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 2: how productive he is.

454
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:45,719
Speaker 4: I get it.

455
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 2: Doesn't mean that Josh Allen doesn't have a right to

456
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 2: be sore about not being one of the three quarterbacks

457
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:51,880
Speaker 2: that was named. You know what I mean?

458
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 1: Josh Allen is the first guy after all the kickers

459
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 1: in the NFL. He leads the league in scoring outside

460
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 1: of the kicking position.

461
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 2: That is very true, Steve, It is very true, but

462
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:15,879
Speaker 2: he is not on the starting Pro Bowl roster. We

463
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 2: also found out Steve what the fire at Tyreek Hill's

464
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 2: home was caused by. Unfortunately, his kid was playing with

465
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:30,119
Speaker 2: a cigarette lighter, and we know that did not end well.

466
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 2: Fortunately nobody got hurt. Everybody got out of the home safely,

467
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 2: and you know, everybody's okay. But remember when you're remember

468
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 2: when you were a kid, used to see those public

469
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 2: service amounts all the time. Don't play with matches. Not

470
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 2: play with matches, And we're probably dating ourselves because who

471
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:51,119
Speaker 2: the hell uses matches any ration.

472
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,959
Speaker 1: The kids probably can't even use matches. They don't even know.

473
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 1: I don't know what they are. They don't even know

474
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 1: how to work a match.

475
00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 2: I think it's a game of pickup sticks. Yeah, so

476
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:05,679
Speaker 2: unfortunate that it happened, but fortunately there was not a

477
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:07,399
Speaker 2: bad outcome as a result of that.

478
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 1: That stinks, though, that guy's got that's the.

479
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 2: Last thing that guy wants to deal with this week

480
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 2: with this game.

481
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:17,119
Speaker 1: Like seriously, and he you know, oh, well, what are

482
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 1: you gonna do?

483
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, we have to take a break here because when

484
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:25,679
Speaker 2: we return it is the final ultimate Fantasy lineup for

485
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 2: the twenty twenty three season, Field Yates, our good friend

486
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:34,119
Speaker 2: from ESPN gonna help us out with the grand finale

487
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:37,120
Speaker 2: of lineups when we return here on One Bill's Live,

488
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 2: presented by Colid of Health, It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. Welcome

489
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 2: back to One Bill's Live, Chris Brown, Steve Casher. You

Speaker 2: Fantasy Lineup, presented by Fandel, an official partner of the

Speaker 2: more and here to do it as he does every

494
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 2: week ESPN NFL insider and Fantasy football analyst Field Yates.

495
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 2: And this is the Swan Song, Field and there are

496
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 2: some things to be concerned about this time of year, namely,

497
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 2: who really gives a hoot about their Week eighteen game

498
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 2: playing time, Who's in the lineup, who's out of the lineup?

499
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 2: A few extra variables to consider.

500
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,359
Speaker 5: Guys, this is the week that daily Fantasy was made for.

501
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 5: And by the way, sorry for the quirky accommodations this

502
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 5: week for those that are watching. It's We've got a

503
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 5: very buffalo like storm coming our way this weekend here

504
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 5: in Connecticut. So I've got some of actually in the

505
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 5: process of getting some things ready in the house outdoors

506
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 5: for the snow, and so I rushed upstairs to get

507
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 5: ready for a big segment here, which is neither here

508
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 5: nor there. But you are correct. This is the week

509
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 5: where players are playing more or less than we are

510
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 5: accustomed accustomed to them to so other than Buffalo and Miami,

511
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 5: there's a lot of unfamiliar names. They are gonna be

512
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 5: playing big roles this weekend. And we can start right

513
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 5: with the lineup that includes Nick Mullins, the Vikings quarterback

514
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 5: once again. Mullins, who's back in the lineup after a

515
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 5: half of Jaron Hall last week, and Minnesota has been

516
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 5: the league's largest carouselic quarterback other than the Cleveland Browns perhaps,

517
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 5: But Mullins will start on Sunday against Detroit, and we

518
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:32,040
Speaker 5: all remember what it looked like the last time these

519
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 5: two teams played. Mullins threw for over four hundred yards.

520
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 5: As you guys know, Detroit really can't stop the pass,

521
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 5: but they can stop the run. Right now, so Nick

522
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 5: Mullins finds his way into the lineup. He had four

523
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 5: interceptions the last time these two teams played. If he

524
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 5: just cut that in half, he'll end up paying off

525
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 5: his salary of seventy one hundred dollars.

526
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 1: Yeah. And then going to the running backs, you got

527
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay San Francisco guys Rashad White and Elijah Mitchell.

528
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 5: Yes, indeed, and these a couple of players who you know,

529
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 5: I think if you told me before the season, like

530
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 5: what are your expectations for Rashad White, you might say

531
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 5: he's surprised relative to those He's been outstanding all season.

532
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 5: But with Tampa we know that they have a lot

533
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 5: to play for. Right they are very much in the

534
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 5: driver's seed for the NFC South. If they win on

535
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 5: Sunday against Carolina, they win the division and Rashad White

536
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 5: gets a great matchup. You know, Carolina has actually been

537
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 5: pretty stingy in terms of limiting opposing wide receivers this year.

538
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 5: In part though, because teams just run the football against

539
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 5: Carolina all the time. Why Carolina can't score on offense.

540
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 5: The game script tends to favor the opponent that Carolina

541
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 5: is playing. Meanwhile, Elijah Mitchell guys as a player that

542
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 5: we know is pretty good number two seasons ago his

543
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 5: rookie year prior to the Christian McCaffrey trade. He was

544
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 5: This was the year prior to McCaffrey getting traded to

545
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 5: San Francisco. He was terrific for the forty nine ers.

546
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 5: But since then they've added, you know, the best running

547
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 5: back on the planet in McCaffrey, and Mitchell will start

548
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 5: this upcoming weekend with McCaffrey out because of that casstrain.

549
00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 5: Of course, the forty nine ers locked into that number

550
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 5: one seeds, so they can be pretty selective in terms

551
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 5: of who plays and who does not play for them

552
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 5: and their Week eight team matchup against the Rams. So

553
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 5: Mitchell at sixty six hundred dollars, that's a pretty darn

554
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 5: good value for a guy who could be in line

555
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 5: for twenty or twenty five opportunities.

556
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 2: Then you break the bank on your top receiver who's

557
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 2: also a part of a stack, which is something we've

558
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 2: seen from you a lot this season.

559
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 5: That is the twenty twenty three I guess now twenty

560
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 5: twenty four theme is stack them when you can. That

561
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 5: includes Justin Jefferson, who of course has been back for

562
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 5: a few weeks now, and guys, he's looked tremendous. Justin

563
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 5: Jefferson has and that includes two weeks ago when he

564
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 5: was terrific against the Lions in that game that was

565
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 5: played in Minnesota. You know, I don't know if we'll

566
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 5: talk about this too much because it won't really apply

567
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 5: to the Miami and Buffalo game on Sunday night. But

568
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 5: weather is a factor in several games this weekend, including

569
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 5: a couple being placed in the Northeast. Not an issue

570
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 5: whatsoever here in Detroit. Justin Jefferson and the Lions playing indoors,

571
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 5: excuse me, Justin Jefferson. The Vikings playing indoors against the Lions,

572
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 5: big opportunity there. Plus Jackson Smith in Jigba is wide

573
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 5: receiver two who obviously a lesser player so far than

574
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 5: Justin Jefferson, but has some talent. He found the end

575
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 5: zone last week for the Seahawks, did Jackson Smith in Jigba.

576
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 5: And this one's about the talent, guys, but also about

577
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 5: the matchup. The Cardinals are just a woeful secondary right now.

578
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 5: Don't tell the Eagles that because obviously the Eagles stumbled

579
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 5: against Arizona this past weekend. But at fifty seven hundred dollars,

580
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 5: Jackson Smith and Jigba does not need a whole bunch

581
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 5: of catches to pay off. He could do so with

582
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:34,720
Speaker 5: just three or four catches and a touchdown. Seattle has

583
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 5: lots of play for us. They're on the outside looking

584
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 5: in right now for the playoffs, but could clinch a

585
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 5: playoff spot this upcoming Sunday. And then finally, Calvin Ridley,

586
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 5: You're not exactly sure what to make of this season, guys.

587
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 5: It's been up and down and up and down. But

588
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 5: at sixty nine hundred dollars, the price is too good

589
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 5: to ignore Against a bad Tennessee secondary, Jacksonville has a

590
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 5: ton to play for and Trevor Lawrence is back now.

591
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 5: Christian Kirk could be back as well, which might mean

592
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 5: fewer total opportunities for Calvin Ridley, but if you can

593
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 5: look at his box score, ten or more targets has

594
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 5: become routine for Calvin Ridley kind of emerges that number

595
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 5: one wide receiver while Christian Kirk was on IR for

596
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 5: four seasons.

597
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 1: For four weeks, excuse me, and as we get down

598
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 1: to you know, the tight end and the flex position.

599
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:19,240
Speaker 1: Really the overriding theme here is fine teams that are

600
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 1: like right on the cusp of the playoff not really,

601
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 1: you know, you got one San Francisco guy Elijah Mitchell.

602
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 1: But most of these teams are like, really right on

603
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 1: the cusp, gotta play, gotta get in right.

604
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 5: That's right, And that applies to the Jaguars. We just

605
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 5: mentioned that with Calvin Ridley, So the same thing applies

606
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 5: for Evan Ingram, who has been terrific this season. I mean,

607
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 5: the guy's been unbelievable in terms of catch production. And

608
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 5: you play in PPR scoring, which of course FanDuel does,

609
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:48,880
Speaker 5: and it lends itself to guys who pile up the catches.

610
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 5: I mentioned the matchup not one that I'm fearful of.

611
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:54,400
Speaker 5: With the Titans not playing very good defense throughout this season,

612
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 5: at least against the past. Evan Ingram a good value

613
00:33:57,120 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 5: at sixty eight hundred dollars. And while flex Chuba Hubbard

614
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 5: doesn't have something to play for in the sense that

615
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 5: Carolina's seed has already clinched the very worst record in

616
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:08,719
Speaker 5: the NFL, and of course their pick goes to the

617
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 5: Chicago Bears, Hubbard does. A guy should have you know

618
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 5: they're playing for pride right now in Carolina. Heck, the

619
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 5: owner could do anything based off of what happens in

620
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 5: this result. On Sunday, against the Buccaneers, and this Bucks

621
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:21,879
Speaker 5: defense not the same that we have seen in prior years.

622
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:24,319
Speaker 5: They've come together a little bit more of late. They've

623
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:26,400
Speaker 5: been a little bit better on the ground of late.

624
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 5: But you know, last weekend, this was a curious performance

625
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:31,839
Speaker 5: from Tampa. Chuba Hubbard has been very busy. He's taken

626
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 5: over that starting job from Miles Sanders. Got a big

627
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 5: contract this offseason to go to Carolina, certainly a deal

628
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:40,840
Speaker 5: that they could probably if they could, they would undo

629
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 5: it because a season that has gone by the wayside

630
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:45,960
Speaker 5: down there in Charlotte for Miles Sanders.

631
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 1: And then of course the Las Vegas Raiders playing against Denver.

632
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 1: Do you think you know, because Denver's defense is playing

633
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 1: really well, is this going to be a low scoring game?

634
00:34:57,600 --> 00:34:59,240
Speaker 5: Yes, indeed, I think this could be a low scoring

635
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:02,279
Speaker 5: game because I think maybe things are opened up a

636
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 5: little bit Steve last week with Jared Sidham over Russell Wilson.

637
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:07,879
Speaker 5: But I gotta be honest with you guys, it still

638
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:10,840
Speaker 5: feels like Sean Payton thinks his team is best suited

639
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 5: to win by not turning the football over and running

640
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 5: the crap out of the ball. So that's why I

641
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:18,719
Speaker 5: have the Raiders on defense, they've been awesome, as we know,

642
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:21,880
Speaker 5: defensively last week not as much, but still, I mean

643
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:24,479
Speaker 5: take since Antonio Pierce took over, they've been a much

644
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:27,439
Speaker 5: much improved defense. They have faced some legitimate offenses too

645
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 5: during that time, and really I think shown well and

646
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 5: given Antonio Pierce, I think a real shot to become

647
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 5: their head coach in a permanent basis this offseason. So

648
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 5: the Raiders at thirty seven hundred bucks a team that

649
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:40,960
Speaker 5: I think is more than just a punt which is

650
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 5: a term that I often use talk about my daily

651
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 5: fantasy defense. They should be able to play comparably to

652
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:50,479
Speaker 5: how they have for much of the Antonio Pierce era.

653
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:54,320
Speaker 5: Against the Broncos. The Raiders have a shot at the playoffs,

654
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:57,360
Speaker 5: very narrow shot, but a team that should be motivated because,

655
00:35:57,560 --> 00:35:59,759
Speaker 5: as we have seen with Antonio Pierce, they have been

656
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:02,600
Speaker 5: paddled to the medal since the moments he became their

657
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:03,439
Speaker 5: interim head coach.

658
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 2: All Right, so we've got a big Sunday night showdown here.

659
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 2: Bill's Big one Dolphins for literally all the division marbles,

660
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:15,759
Speaker 2: and we've been knocking this around, so I want to

661
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:18,960
Speaker 2: kind of bounce it off you field. Mike McDaniel obviously,

662
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 2: if he had his brothers, would is gunning for the

663
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 2: division title. It means the two seed two home playoff games,

664
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 2: as opposed to for the Dolphins case, going to Kansas

665
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:28,960
Speaker 2: City and playing a wild card game at Arrowhead against

666
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 2: the defending Super Bowl champs not ideal, But at the

667
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 2: same time, he's got some injury issues to consider here.

668
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 2: Moster Waddle Hill Howard, I mean run down the list.

669
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 2: I mean it is a lengthy list of premium players

670
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:45,439
Speaker 2: that were instrumental in getting the team to where they are.

671
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:52,320
Speaker 2: I'm wondering what the line of demarcation is on whether

672
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:56,040
Speaker 2: to dress and play them or let them get healthy

673
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:59,080
Speaker 2: so you are a healthier team, knowing you're already going

674
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:02,279
Speaker 2: to the playoffs, knowing you could be sacrificing the chance

675
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:03,400
Speaker 2: at home playoff games.

676
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 5: I think a lot of demarcation is actually a little

677
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:10,400
Speaker 5: clearer than we might realize. Players who can play without

678
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 5: doing anything to further damage the injury. I think we'll

679
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:17,279
Speaker 5: play players where you can play but you are at

680
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 5: risk of doing further damage will become question marks, right,

681
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:23,239
Speaker 5: and we saw this. This is actually the case with

682
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:27,759
Speaker 5: Tyreek Hill when he was inactive two weeks ago. The

683
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:32,320
Speaker 5: worry was not that Tyreek Hill could make his ankle

684
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:35,560
Speaker 5: injury worse. There was no mechanism to make it worse.

685
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:38,439
Speaker 5: It was he healthy enough to be out there, and

686
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:41,040
Speaker 5: it was a decision that was put in the player's hands,

687
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:44,880
Speaker 5: and he, I guess, communicated the Dolphins that he was

688
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 5: concerned about taking a hit against the Jets. Now, he

689
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 5: did not end up mattering at all as the Dolphins

690
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:52,880
Speaker 5: waxed the Jets in that game. But that to me

691
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 5: is where you draw the line. If the guy can

692
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:58,360
Speaker 5: play and there's no further risk of injury, then you

693
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 5: expect to see him on the field on side night.

694
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:02,879
Speaker 5: It also wouldn't surprise me if some of the things

695
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 5: that took place last week from Miami were with a

696
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 5: bit of an eye towards this week, right, Guys that well, obviously,

697
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:12,440
Speaker 5: if they'd won that game last week against Baltimore, they

698
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:14,279
Speaker 5: would have been in the driver's seed for the number

699
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:17,160
Speaker 5: one seed in the AFC. Part of it might have been, Hey,

700
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:19,480
Speaker 5: if we put Rahem Mostart out there, Jell and Waddle

701
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:22,600
Speaker 5: out there this week, they could be re injured and

702
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 5: then be done for the rest of this season, however

703
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:27,759
Speaker 5: long that lasts for Miami, So wouldn't that surprise me

704
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:31,319
Speaker 5: if basically anybody that can avoid getting injured further is

705
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:32,600
Speaker 5: out there on Sunday night.

706
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:34,920
Speaker 1: I gotta admit to you feel I had a moment

707
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 1: this last weekend where I was thinking about you. My daughter,

708
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 1: who is also a new mother. Our daughter, who is

709
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:44,840
Speaker 1: also a new mother, won her fantasy league, and it

710
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:46,960
Speaker 1: also warmed my heart because what put her over the

711
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:49,239
Speaker 1: top was the Bills defense. So it was kind of

712
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 1: a nice, nice weekend for her. She won the championship

713
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:54,080
Speaker 1: of her league. She beat her husband.

714
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:55,319
Speaker 2: I was just gonna throw that in.

715
00:38:57,440 --> 00:38:58,839
Speaker 1: She beat her husband, but.

716
00:38:58,760 --> 00:38:59,920
Speaker 2: The family wins.

717
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:03,799
Speaker 1: This is second place, right, Yeah.

718
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:05,320
Speaker 5: Well I hope that the you know, the husband finishing

719
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:07,440
Speaker 5: in second place has to do like I don't know,

720
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 5: maybe like you know, diapers and nighttime feeds for about

721
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 5: two months straight or something.

722
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:12,920
Speaker 2: Wow months.

723
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:16,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go, something like that. But yeah, but

724
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:18,160
Speaker 1: absolutely that's awesome. So I was thinking about you.

725
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 5: Well, a major congratulations to her, you know, more importantly

726
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:24,520
Speaker 5: to both of them on the birth of their child.

727
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:26,719
Speaker 5: And there's no greater gift, as you guys both know

728
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:30,239
Speaker 5: very well, and we are savoring, and our second will

729
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:33,440
Speaker 5: be headed todaycare in the not too distant future, so

730
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:35,640
Speaker 5: we are cherishing some of these final moments with her

731
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 5: actually at home during the day, so while I'm at

732
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:40,120
Speaker 5: home as well. It's been nice to have some extra

733
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:43,319
Speaker 5: moments to take in some of the first because at

734
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:45,200
Speaker 5: this age, a little over six months, there are a

735
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:48,360
Speaker 5: lot of first that are coming up seemingly every single week.

736
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:49,400
Speaker 1: Awesome stuff.

737
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:51,839
Speaker 2: Thanks for thanks for all your health this season. I

738

751
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 1: So they've got this league. I don't know how many

752
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:35,040
Speaker 1: people have got to be twelve people in this league

753

Speaker 1: that she was telling me about. And she'll she'll chime

754
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:40,560
Speaker 1: with it. She'll ask me stuff like what about this

755
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:41,880
Speaker 1: guy and this guy and this guy, And I'll tell

756
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:44,239
Speaker 1: her what I know about the matchup, you know, And

757

758
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:51,200
Speaker 1: won the championship. Beat her, hubby.

759
00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 2: Love it when a plan comes together. Bragging rights for

760
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 2: a full year.

761
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 1: How about it? Pretty funny, that's outstanding.

762
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:03,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, we have to step aside here for a bit

763
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 2: because when we come back, we will have Buffalo Bills

764
00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 2: dot Com content coordinator Alec White joining us to hear

765
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:15,120
Speaker 2: what the Dolphins are saying about this game, some injury

766
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 2: updates obviously, and what toa thinks of this Buffalo defense.

767
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:22,680
Speaker 2: We'll cover all of that with Alec White when we

768
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:25,080
Speaker 2: return here on One Bill's Live presented by Kalida Health,

769
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:43,719
Speaker 2: It's Buffalo Bills Radio. This week's game against the Dolphins

770
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:48,680
Speaker 2: is presented by Ticketmaster, the official ticket marketplace of the NFL,

771
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:51,600
Speaker 2: and Speaking of the Dolphins, we have Buffalo Bills dot

772
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:54,920
Speaker 2: Com content coordinator Alec White joining us to give us

773
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:57,799
Speaker 2: the lowdown on just what the Dolphins are saying this

774
00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:01,360
Speaker 2: week about Sunday Nights showdown with the Bill for all

775
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 2: the division marbles. And I guess we should start with

776
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:09,520
Speaker 2: the injury updates first, Alec, because it is a laundry list.

777
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:12,800
Speaker 2: Like nine of their ten limited guys yesterday are starters.

778
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:16,640
Speaker 2: Six of their seven non participants yesterday starters. It's not

779
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:18,560
Speaker 2: a bunch of nobody's on this list. It's a lot

780
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:19,480
Speaker 2: of important people.

781
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:22,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, the injury bug is hitting Miami at the wrong

782
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:24,719
Speaker 3: time of the season. The Bills dealt with that, you know,

783
00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:28,240
Speaker 3: early on, and now they've kind of recovered the Miami's

784
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:32,479
Speaker 3: in the opposite direction there. So Bradley Chubb, of course,

785
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:34,319
Speaker 3: you know, he tore his ACL. He will not be

786
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:37,400
Speaker 3: playing in this game. It sounds like Xavi and Howard

787
00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:41,960
Speaker 3: their top corner alongside Jalen Ramsey. Howard is not expected

788
00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:45,719
Speaker 3: to play. They're kind of being quoi about his availability,

789
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:48,799
Speaker 3: but Mike McDaniel said yesterday that they are planning to

790
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:51,440
Speaker 3: play without him, so that opens up you know, an

791
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:55,760
Speaker 3: opportunity for the Bills. And then you've got Jerome Baker,

792
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:58,920
Speaker 3: their linebacker, who's been out on ir the last four games.

793
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:02,520
Speaker 3: His prack this window is open, but it doesn't sound

794
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:05,600
Speaker 3: like he's going to be back in time for this matchup.

795
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:09,000
Speaker 3: And so right now, the secondary for the Dolphins, it's

796
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:12,319
Speaker 3: looking like it's gonna be Jalen Ramsey, Eli Apple and

797
00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:16,120
Speaker 3: then Cater Kohu, who was a second year undrafted player.

798
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:20,200
Speaker 3: He's played well for them this year. But that wide

799
00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 3: receiver corps for Buffalo could have a game right.

800
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:24,920
Speaker 1: And it comes down to as well. I mean, one

801
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:27,920
Speaker 1: of the things they struggled with last week was a

802
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:30,560
Speaker 1: pass rush, even with Chubb in the in the game.

803
00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:34,239
Speaker 1: What are they saying, I know, Vic Fangio spoke after

804
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:36,640
Speaker 1: practice or something. What are they saying about the Bills

805
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:39,839
Speaker 1: from their end about you know, what they're seeing and

806
00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:43,080
Speaker 1: how they you know, after their game with Baltimore, we've

807
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:45,279
Speaker 1: talked about how this Bills team is a little bit

808
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 1: like Baltimore. They got this studed quarterback who can run

809
00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:51,040
Speaker 1: around and make some plays. What's Miami saying about Buffalo's offense?

810
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:54,360
Speaker 3: I mean, obviously they'ven't been impressed with it, and the

811
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:57,400
Speaker 3: key is going to be getting pass rush against Josh Allen,

812
00:43:57,400 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 3: I mean, Vic Vanjo. They like to blitz the heck

813
00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:01,800
Speaker 3: out of the courquarterback. They're tied for third and sacks

814
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:05,919
Speaker 3: this year first and QB hits. But Javon Holland talked

815
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:09,120
Speaker 3: yesterday and he said that their defense feels more confident

816
00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:13,080
Speaker 3: this time around facing Buffalo compared to Week four, because

817
00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:15,200
Speaker 3: it was, you know, only the fourth game under the

818
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:18,920
Speaker 3: Vic Fangio system. They were still as a unit figuring out, okay,

819
00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:21,920
Speaker 3: which guy who's our best blitzer, which guy is our

820
00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:24,480
Speaker 3: best cover guy? In terms of, you know, the scheme

821
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:27,360
Speaker 3: in this Now that they've even though they've been dealing

822
00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:30,400
Speaker 3: with these injuries, they feel like from a unit standpoint

823
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:33,840
Speaker 3: that the communication and the cohesion is better across the board.

824
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:36,800
Speaker 3: So they know the task at hand facing the Buffalo

825
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:40,200
Speaker 3: team that scored forty eight on them in Week four. Uh,

826
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:43,160
Speaker 3: but they seem ready, at least from what they're saying

827
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:44,799
Speaker 3: this week, that they're gonna be up to that.

828
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:47,520
Speaker 2: We were talking about that on our podcast this week.

829
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:51,120
Speaker 2: Bills by the Numbers, how the last time the Bills

830
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:53,240
Speaker 2: played them, they were in the twenties in the rankings

831
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:56,160
Speaker 2: in just about every defensive category. Now they're a top

832
00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:59,320
Speaker 2: ten defense, like almost across the board. And it's a

833
00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:00,879
Speaker 2: byproduct what you were just talking about.

834
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:00,920
Speaker 6: It.

835
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 2: I like the fact that they've got almost a full

836
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:05,600
Speaker 2: season now under their belt in this scheme and so

837
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:08,239
Speaker 2: guy and the fact that they're playing at home Sunday night.

838
00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:13,080
Speaker 2: Communication will be easier. Well maybe actually it won't because

839
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:18,680
Speaker 2: the loud Yeah so yeah, maybe maybe communication will be

840
00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:21,680
Speaker 2: more difficult because Dolphins fans will be trying to distract

841
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:22,760
Speaker 2: the offense.

842
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:24,320
Speaker 1: But we've seen that, and we were talking to the

843
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:26,600
Speaker 1: early part of this show about how you know, their

844
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:29,680
Speaker 1: defense has steadily gotten better and better. But man, oh man,

845
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:32,480
Speaker 1: and they and Fancio has done a great job with

846
00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:34,600
Speaker 1: the injuries that you say they've you know, you've noted

847
00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:38,319
Speaker 1: that they've gotten. But man, they're starting to run out

848
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:38,720
Speaker 1: of guys.

849
00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:41,840
Speaker 3: They are they are, and the secondary is going to

850
00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:45,200
Speaker 3: be thin. I think the best thing for Buffalo in

851
00:45:45,239 --> 00:45:47,839
Speaker 3: this matchup is that you know, Phillips and Shobb are out.

852
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:50,400
Speaker 3: You know, you never wish injuries, of course, but you

853
00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:52,919
Speaker 3: know those are the guys that can wreck a game.

854
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:56,440
Speaker 3: We saw Jalen Phillips last year in the AFC Wildcard

855
00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:59,480
Speaker 3: round turn the tide with you know, the sack and

856
00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:02,680
Speaker 3: the fumble to lead to a Dolphins touchdown really turned

857
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:05,640
Speaker 3: that game back in Miami's favor before Buffalo was able

858
00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:08,600
Speaker 3: to pull away. So, you know, Josh Allen, having that

859
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:11,600
Speaker 3: extra time is going to be critical. But back to

860
00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:15,600
Speaker 3: your point about Miami's defense, you know Baltimore game, notwithstanding,

861
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:18,800
Speaker 3: they've allowed twenty one or fewer points in nine of

862
00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:19,840
Speaker 3: their last twelve games.

863
00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:23,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're doing a lot better, even though people might

864
00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:26,200
Speaker 2: not recognize it because the headlines all the time are

865
00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:28,680
Speaker 2: too in the offense and I get why. So that

866
00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:31,880
Speaker 2: Pro Bowl quarterback Tua what did he say this week

867
00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:35,239
Speaker 2: addressing the media about this game? And you know the

868
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:37,920
Speaker 2: task he has in going against this Bill's defense, which

869
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:39,120
Speaker 2: is a little bit healthier now.

870
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:41,719
Speaker 3: Well, he was a little feisty about one thing in particular,

871
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:44,120
Speaker 3: because you know, everyone kind of knew that he had

872
00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:46,520
Speaker 3: a shoulder injury coming out of the Ravens game, But

873
00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:48,759
Speaker 3: what a lot of people didn't know was that his

874
00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:52,040
Speaker 3: throwing thumb had been dealing with some soreness coming out

875
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:55,440
Speaker 3: of the Cowboys game and either on this week's episode

876
00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:57,839
Speaker 3: of Hard Knocks or last week's. The Hard Knocks crew

877
00:46:57,920 --> 00:47:01,480
Speaker 3: showed to a expressing discomfort in the thumb, and I

878
00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:04,279
Speaker 3: don't think he was he realized that was gonna come

879
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:06,719
Speaker 3: out in the media or in Hard Knocks, because he

880
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:09,200
Speaker 3: was asked about it by a reporter this week and

881
00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:12,360
Speaker 3: he was pretty taken back that people knew he was

882
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:13,759
Speaker 3: dealing with some thumb soreness.

883
00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:17,960
Speaker 1: M Yeah, well so again.

884
00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:20,000
Speaker 3: On his throwing hand.

885
00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:20,279
Speaker 2: Yep.

886
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:24,120
Speaker 3: But you know he's he said, the Bills defense is

887
00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:27,520
Speaker 3: fundamentally sound. That's the thing that you know, a lot

888
00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:29,799
Speaker 3: of teams have said about this Bill's defense over over

889
00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:32,800
Speaker 3: the course of this season. Fundamentally they're pretty sound.

890
00:47:33,160 --> 00:47:33,279
Speaker 2: Uh.

891
00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:35,080
Speaker 3: They don't allow a lot of big plays. Over the

892
00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:38,480
Speaker 3: last you know month, the Bills are top three and

893
00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:44,360
Speaker 3: explosive plays allowed defensively, and to us said, the probably

894
00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:47,960
Speaker 3: one of the best things besides you know, their coverage

895
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:51,719
Speaker 3: is mixing up the blitzes and mixing up you know,

896
00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:55,040
Speaker 3: one high safety, too high safety, just not giving away

897
00:47:55,080 --> 00:47:56,600
Speaker 3: the cues until the last second.

898
00:47:56,680 --> 00:47:59,600
Speaker 1: Yeah. Sean McDermott has done a really masterful job and

899
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:01,759
Speaker 1: that's why he was such a good defensive coordinator. He

900
00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:04,640
Speaker 1: does have a feel for play calling defensively where it's

901
00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:08,479
Speaker 1: a little unexpected those when to knows when to change

902
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:10,040
Speaker 1: it up and how to change it up to give him,

903
00:48:10,200 --> 00:48:14,200
Speaker 1: you know, something they're not expecting. And I think this

904
00:48:14,239 --> 00:48:16,640
Speaker 1: Bill's defense is different than the one the Dolphins have

905
00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:19,200
Speaker 1: faced under Sean McDermot when Leslie Fraser was doing it

906
00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:22,399
Speaker 1: was because it's more of a splash play defense. It's

907
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:24,920
Speaker 1: more of a defense that's a playmaking defense rather than

908
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:27,560
Speaker 1: a solid like you got to go the long way defense,

909
00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:30,839
Speaker 1: you know, a little dink and dunk or whatever. This

910
00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:33,319
Speaker 1: is a defense that can snatch the ball away. And

911
00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:35,879
Speaker 1: you know last week notwithstanding, I mean they can come

912
00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:37,560
Speaker 1: in bunches, they do.

913
00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:42,160
Speaker 2: One last thing that we got on social media. This

914
00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:45,760
Speaker 2: happened while you joined us. Alec Chris Perkins, who covers

915
00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:49,360
Speaker 2: the Dolphins, said Vic Fangio said, Josh Allen is like

916
00:48:49,440 --> 00:48:52,759
Speaker 2: John Elway on steroids, then clarified that he was not

917
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:53,840
Speaker 2: speaking literally.

918
00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:57,560
Speaker 3: It was not suggesting that Josh Allen is on stare.

919
00:48:57,600 --> 00:48:59,239
Speaker 2: But that is not the first time that we have

920
00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:02,840
Speaker 2: heard that. Remember, we had Steve's former teammate, Cornelius Bennett

921
00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:05,600
Speaker 2: on the show and we asked him who Josh Allen

922
00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:08,080
Speaker 2: reminds him of as a defensive player, you know, and

923
00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:09,960
Speaker 2: he said, he reminds me of John Elway. So that's

924
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:12,319
Speaker 2: not the last, probably not the first, and certainly not

925
00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:15,160
Speaker 2: the last time that Josh is going to be compared

926
00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:18,960
Speaker 2: to the Hall of Famer. Alec, appreciate the time. We

927
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:21,040
Speaker 2: know you'll be strapped in on Buffalo Bills dot com

928
00:49:21,080 --> 00:49:24,600
Speaker 2: for all the coverage after the game is over and

929
00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:26,520
Speaker 2: leading up to the game obviously how to watch and

930
00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:28,839
Speaker 2: all of that stuff so people are out in it's

931
00:49:28,840 --> 00:49:30,560
Speaker 2: a nationally televised game, pretty easy.

932
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:33,120
Speaker 1: Huge, good stuff.

933
00:49:33,120 --> 00:49:36,080
Speaker 2: But I appreciate the time as that's Alec White, content

934
00:49:36,120 --> 00:49:38,600
Speaker 2: coordinator for Buffalo Bills dot Com go there for all

935
00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:41,680
Speaker 2: of your post game and pregame needs leading up to

936
00:49:41,719 --> 00:49:43,759
Speaker 2: this big one here in week eight, team, we'll take

937
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:46,240
Speaker 2: a break be back with our number two when Cameron

938
00:49:46,239 --> 00:49:48,960
Speaker 2: Wolf from NFL Network joins us to talk more Dolphins

939
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:50,759
Speaker 2: in a second here on One Bill's Live presented by

Speaker 2: welcome to our number two here on a Thursday, Chris Brown,

944
00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:43,280
Speaker 2: Steve Tasker with you and please to be joined now

945
00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:47,359
Speaker 2: by NFL Network reporter Cameron Wolf. And you can see

946
00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:51,359
Speaker 2: Cameron on NFL Network's NFL Game Day Morning Sunday at

947
00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:54,680
Speaker 2: nine a m. Eastern time. That's gonna make for a

948
00:50:54,719 --> 00:50:56,920
Speaker 2: pretty long day for you, Cameron, if you're starting at

949
00:50:57,000 --> 00:50:59,239
Speaker 2: nine and this game kicks off at eight twenty by man,

950
00:50:59,239 --> 00:50:59,759
Speaker 2: how you doing?

951
00:51:00,880 --> 00:51:02,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, man, it's gonna be a long day.

952
00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:03,440
Speaker 2: How you guys doing. I'm gonna have to take a

953
00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:04,279
Speaker 2: nap in between them.

954
00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:07,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, we talked about it too up here, and at

955
00:51:07,320 --> 00:51:08,960
Speaker 1: this time of year, it gets dark at about four

956
00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:11,480
Speaker 1: point thirty in the afternoon, and it's it feels like

957
00:51:11,520 --> 00:51:14,239
Speaker 1: you kick it off about one am. But and then

958
00:51:14,320 --> 00:51:16,000
Speaker 1: you know post game and all of that. I mean,

959
00:51:16,080 --> 00:51:18,520
Speaker 1: it's it's an all nighter. It's like being back in college.

960
00:51:18,640 --> 00:51:20,800
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts about the early goings? The Dolphins

961
00:51:20,880 --> 00:51:23,600
Speaker 1: kind of limp into this, but by the same token,

962
00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:25,319
Speaker 1: they're kind of in the driver's seat at home with

963
00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:27,520
Speaker 1: the chance to win the division. Is kind of what

964
00:51:27,560 --> 00:51:29,360
Speaker 1: you'd sign up for at the beginning of the season.

965
00:51:30,360 --> 00:51:32,360
Speaker 7: Yeah, And that was Mike mcdanigel's point this week. You know,

966
00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:34,440
Speaker 7: they got blown out of the water by the Ravens

967
00:51:34,440 --> 00:51:38,319
Speaker 7: this past week, and so it's hard to recalibrate on, hey,

968
00:51:38,360 --> 00:51:40,480
Speaker 7: we could still win the division after you get embarrassed

969
00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:43,200
Speaker 7: like that. But the reality is this Dolphins team would

970
00:51:43,200 --> 00:51:45,560
Speaker 7: have taken this in Week one. They would have taken

971
00:51:45,560 --> 00:51:47,480
Speaker 7: the chance to win the division against the Bills at

972
00:51:47,480 --> 00:51:50,000
Speaker 7: home week one. But it's hard not to look back

973
00:51:50,040 --> 00:51:51,920
Speaker 7: and say, a month ago they were up three games

974
00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:54,160
Speaker 7: with five left, and they let the Bills kind of

975
00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:56,480
Speaker 7: creep right to coep their way back into this division race.

976
00:51:56,520 --> 00:51:58,760
Speaker 7: And so this game is going to be really intriguing

977
00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:01,680
Speaker 7: because although the Dolphins are at home, the Bills are favors,

978
00:52:01,880 --> 00:52:04,040
Speaker 7: and I think they should be because of how we

979
00:52:04,120 --> 00:52:06,400
Speaker 7: just saw the Dolphins play, some of their injuries catching

980
00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:09,440
Speaker 7: up to them, and honestly, the Bills and Josh Allen's

981
00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:12,319
Speaker 7: dominance over them in past history. He's ten and two

982
00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:16,279
Speaker 7: including the playoffs against him thirty six touchdowns to five interceptions.

983
00:52:16,480 --> 00:52:19,040
Speaker 7: And it's sort of that little brother, big brother thing

984
00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:21,920
Speaker 7: where you got to beat big brother for you ultimately

985
00:52:22,280 --> 00:52:24,440
Speaker 7: to overcome it. And so I've talked to a lot

986
00:52:24,520 --> 00:52:26,760
Speaker 7: of guys in that Dolphins locker room who just said, man,

987
00:52:26,880 --> 00:52:28,399
Speaker 7: I just want to beat the Bills. I just want

988
00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:30,799
Speaker 7: to show that we can do it, and they're with

989
00:52:30,920 --> 00:52:32,480
Speaker 7: that opportunity, but it won't be easy.

990
00:52:33,160 --> 00:52:37,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, and maybe handicap this as best you can, Cameron,

991
00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:41,319
Speaker 2: in terms of player availability, in terms of how it's

992
00:52:41,360 --> 00:52:44,960
Speaker 2: looking right now, how much more difficult does that task become?

993
00:52:45,320 --> 00:52:47,160
Speaker 2: You already know they don't have Chubb, it's looking like

994
00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:49,840
Speaker 2: they're not gonna have Xavier and Howard on the defensive side.

995
00:52:50,280 --> 00:52:53,760
Speaker 2: It doesn't quite look like Jerome Baker's may be ready

996
00:52:53,800 --> 00:52:58,360
Speaker 2: to return. He just started practicing yesterday and then offensive

997
00:52:58,400 --> 00:53:02,920
Speaker 2: side second straight day. No hill Waddle Moister did practice,

998
00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:06,320
Speaker 2: So handicap that if you could. How much more difficult

999
00:53:06,320 --> 00:53:09,200
Speaker 2: does the task become with those guys? Kind of questionable

1000
00:53:09,239 --> 00:53:09,720
Speaker 2: at best?

1001
00:53:10,719 --> 00:53:13,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's hard, man. It's a complete contrast from Miami

1002
00:53:13,960 --> 00:53:16,880
Speaker 7: and Buffalo's injury report. You look at Buffalo's in new reports,

1003
00:53:16,880 --> 00:53:18,880
Speaker 7: it looks like week one they've got maybe two or

1004
00:53:18,920 --> 00:53:21,200
Speaker 7: three guys on there, and so I think, you know,

1005
00:53:21,280 --> 00:53:23,400
Speaker 7: just kind of rattling down the names you mentioned, xaviing

1006
00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:25,560
Speaker 7: Howard is going to be out and he's their top

1007
00:53:25,600 --> 00:53:28,959
Speaker 7: corner outside of Jalen Ramsey. And I think that's key

1008
00:53:29,040 --> 00:53:32,359
Speaker 7: because if you remember Week four matchup when Buffalo played them,

1009
00:53:32,880 --> 00:53:35,759
Speaker 7: Jalen Ramsey wasn't there and so cater Coo, who their

1010
00:53:35,800 --> 00:53:38,799
Speaker 7: slot corner, played a lot against Stefon Diggs. Diggs went

1011
00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:40,960
Speaker 7: off for one hundred and twenty yards and three touchdowns.

1012
00:53:41,080 --> 00:53:43,960
Speaker 7: Alan had an amazing day and you'll see Eli Apple

1013
00:53:44,040 --> 00:53:47,480
Speaker 7: this week as the other corner opposite Jalen Ramsey. I'm

1014
00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:50,280
Speaker 7: really eager to see if vig Vangio decides to shadow

1015
00:53:50,280 --> 00:53:53,120
Speaker 7: Stephan Diggs. He's been reluctant to do that this year.

1016
00:53:53,480 --> 00:53:55,920
Speaker 7: Diggs hasn't been hot the last month, so maybe that

1017
00:53:56,000 --> 00:53:59,600
Speaker 7: factors in and those considerations. But they're gonna have to

1018
00:53:59,640 --> 00:54:02,279
Speaker 7: do something to slow up this passing attack because I'd

1019
00:54:02,280 --> 00:54:04,279
Speaker 7: imagine Buffalo is gonna want to attack them the same

1020
00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:06,600
Speaker 7: way Lamar did on the offensive side of the ball.

1021
00:54:06,680 --> 00:54:09,160
Speaker 7: Jayalen Waddle, he's got a shot. He didn't do much

1022
00:54:09,160 --> 00:54:12,040
Speaker 7: in practice. He kind of rehabbed. It's they calling it

1023
00:54:12,080 --> 00:54:14,480
Speaker 7: a high ankle sprain, but it's a little bit more

1024
00:54:15,160 --> 00:54:17,239
Speaker 7: of a traditional high ankle sprain, just on the higher

1025
00:54:17,360 --> 00:54:19,719
Speaker 7: end of it. And so Friday will be a big

1026
00:54:19,800 --> 00:54:22,480
Speaker 7: key for him if he can go. Raheem was a

1027
00:54:22,480 --> 00:54:24,839
Speaker 7: surprise last week. They thought he was gonna be able

1028
00:54:24,920 --> 00:54:27,439
Speaker 7: to go. He's got ankle and knee injuries he's dealt

1029
00:54:27,480 --> 00:54:30,399
Speaker 7: with all season, but he couldn't cut the way he wonted.

1030
00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:32,440
Speaker 7: So if he plays, i'd expect him to be using

1031
00:54:32,520 --> 00:54:36,080
Speaker 7: a limited capacity regardless. And so a lot of key

1032
00:54:36,120 --> 00:54:40,879
Speaker 7: injuries for Miami overall, but their mantraal season has been,

1033
00:54:41,160 --> 00:54:43,480
Speaker 7: you know, we got to overcome a versity. Adversity is

1034
00:54:43,520 --> 00:54:45,520
Speaker 7: an opportunity, and so I don't think they're going to

1035
00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:46,719
Speaker 7: use that as an excuse.

1036
00:54:46,920 --> 00:54:48,640
Speaker 1: They's got to play with the guys they got. What

1037
00:54:48,719 --> 00:54:51,279
Speaker 1: has Mike McDaniel said about this matchup, not only is

1038
00:54:51,320 --> 00:54:54,040
Speaker 1: his as him being the offensive play called, but also

1039
00:54:54,080 --> 00:54:54,640
Speaker 1: the head coach.

1040
00:54:55,719 --> 00:54:57,640
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think their big key has been trying to

1041
00:54:57,680 --> 00:55:00,680
Speaker 7: slow down of Buffalo Bill's front. If you remember that

1042
00:55:00,719 --> 00:55:03,280
Speaker 7: Week four battle, the Bills had a lot of pressure

1043
00:55:03,360 --> 00:55:05,480
Speaker 7: up front and they didn't have the blitz, and so

1044
00:55:05,600 --> 00:55:07,920
Speaker 7: the key for them is to try to protect to

1045
00:55:08,440 --> 00:55:10,239
Speaker 7: so he can have the time to get the ball

1046
00:55:10,320 --> 00:55:13,360
Speaker 7: to a Tyreek or Wattle if he plays. And so

1047
00:55:13,719 --> 00:55:16,239
Speaker 7: I think a premium focus is like respect for this

1048
00:55:16,280 --> 00:55:19,239
Speaker 7: Bills team. We noted the fact that the Dolphins are

1049
00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:22,120
Speaker 7: seven and one at home this season, and that seems

1050
00:55:22,160 --> 00:55:24,600
Speaker 7: to be somewhat an advantage for him, but he said, hey, look,

1051
00:55:24,600 --> 00:55:26,480
Speaker 7: the Buffalo Bills don't care about that. They're going to

1052
00:55:26,520 --> 00:55:29,719
Speaker 7: come in here trying to take our lunch money. And

1053
00:55:30,040 --> 00:55:32,800
Speaker 7: as Bills fans will note, the last time they played

1054
00:55:32,840 --> 00:55:36,120
Speaker 7: here in Miami, although Miami won, it was one hundred

1055
00:55:36,120 --> 00:55:38,759
Speaker 7: and ten degrees outside. It's going to be sixties on

1056
00:55:38,840 --> 00:55:41,879
Speaker 7: Sunday night, and so weather won't be a factor at all.

1057
00:55:41,920 --> 00:55:45,480
Speaker 7: And so although the Dolphins have the home advantage, I

1058
00:55:45,480 --> 00:55:47,960
Speaker 7: think Buffalo has a lot more advantages when it comes

1059
00:55:47,960 --> 00:55:50,759
Speaker 7: to injuries, and as we saw in Week four, the

1060
00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:51,600
Speaker 7: overall matchup.

1061
00:55:51,800 --> 00:55:54,319
Speaker 2: At the same time, Cameron, you know, Buffalo has won

1062
00:55:54,360 --> 00:55:57,399
Speaker 2: four in a row, but they've they've been grinded out

1063
00:55:57,560 --> 00:56:00,920
Speaker 2: type victories. It's not a lot of high flying Bill's

1064
00:56:00,920 --> 00:56:03,279
Speaker 2: offensive football. Maybe with the exception of the win over

1065
00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:05,200
Speaker 2: Dallas when they just ran the tar out of the

1066
00:56:05,200 --> 00:56:07,840
Speaker 2: ball to the two to two hundred and sixty six yards,

1067
00:56:08,239 --> 00:56:12,240
Speaker 2: they probably haven't played their best quote unquote game either

1068
00:56:12,480 --> 00:56:16,840
Speaker 2: of late There's something though about Miami that seems to

1069
00:56:16,840 --> 00:56:19,480
Speaker 2: bring out the best in these guys. I haven't even

1070
00:56:19,480 --> 00:56:21,080
Speaker 2: been able to put my finger on it, but for

1071
00:56:21,120 --> 00:56:24,280
Speaker 2: some reason, these guys get up to play this team,

1072
00:56:24,360 --> 00:56:26,160
Speaker 2: whether it's up here or down there.

1073
00:56:27,239 --> 00:56:27,479
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1074
00:56:27,520 --> 00:56:29,319
Speaker 7: So Vic Vangio had what I thought was one of

1075
00:56:29,360 --> 00:56:31,640
Speaker 7: maybe the quote of the month earlier today saying that

1076
00:56:31,880 --> 00:56:35,080
Speaker 7: he thinks Josh Allen is John Elway on steroids, and

1077
00:56:35,080 --> 00:56:37,479
Speaker 7: then he paused and said, I don't think that Josh

1078
00:56:37,560 --> 00:56:40,960
Speaker 7: Allen's on steroids. I'm just trying to compare his cannon harm,

1079
00:56:41,280 --> 00:56:43,239
Speaker 7: his ability to run the ball, all the things that

1080
00:56:43,320 --> 00:56:46,080
Speaker 7: John Elway did excellent. I think that's the core of

1081
00:56:46,120 --> 00:56:49,200
Speaker 7: the team. The danger that Josh Allen brings, Like whether

1082
00:56:49,480 --> 00:56:51,160
Speaker 7: you know he has a stat line like he's had

1083
00:56:51,200 --> 00:56:53,480
Speaker 7: the last few weeks where the numbers aren't there, he

1084
00:56:53,560 --> 00:56:56,760
Speaker 7: still brings the fear and defenses that at any point

1085
00:56:56,880 --> 00:57:00,239
Speaker 7: he could make that miraculous sixty yard bomb or or

1086
00:57:00,280 --> 00:57:02,759
Speaker 7: run somebody over for a twenty yard run. I think

1087
00:57:02,800 --> 00:57:05,640
Speaker 7: that has to keep teams honest. And Vic Fangio mentioned

1088
00:57:05,680 --> 00:57:08,840
Speaker 7: just kind of the dilemma of keeping a linebacker or

1089
00:57:08,880 --> 00:57:11,640
Speaker 7: safety in a shadow. Josh Allen so he doesn't kill

1090
00:57:11,680 --> 00:57:14,399
Speaker 7: you with his legs, and you mentioned it. I think

1091
00:57:14,400 --> 00:57:17,800
Speaker 7: the renewed run game also presents an element that Buffalo

1092
00:57:17,880 --> 00:57:20,440
Speaker 7: hasn't had just being transparent the last few years. Like

1093
00:57:20,880 --> 00:57:22,920
Speaker 7: Vic Vangiel also made he was in the mood for

1094
00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:25,600
Speaker 7: making cops. He said that James Cook is the best

1095
00:57:25,640 --> 00:57:28,240
Speaker 7: Bills running backs in Thurman Thomas, which I don't think

1096
00:57:28,360 --> 00:57:30,440
Speaker 7: is accurate. But you know, I'm not gonna I'm not

1097
00:57:30,440 --> 00:57:33,080
Speaker 7: gonna tell Vicky's he's wrong.

1098
00:57:33,160 --> 00:57:35,120
Speaker 1: James Cook's having a great year. You know. I let him.

1099
00:57:35,200 --> 00:57:36,640
Speaker 1: I let him ride at that cop.

1100
00:57:36,760 --> 00:57:39,240
Speaker 7: But I think there's a lot of respect for what

1101
00:57:39,480 --> 00:57:43,240
Speaker 7: Buffalo can do offensively, even if the numbers haven't translated

1102
00:57:43,480 --> 00:57:45,280
Speaker 7: the last few weeks. And I guess the final thing

1103
00:57:45,320 --> 00:57:47,920
Speaker 7: I would say is the Bills offensive line has been

1104
00:57:47,960 --> 00:57:51,560
Speaker 7: remarkably healthy, which I think has helped them continuity wise.

1105
00:57:51,920 --> 00:57:54,280
Speaker 7: And as we talk about a Dolphins defensive line that

1106
00:57:54,720 --> 00:57:58,120
Speaker 7: has lost Bradley Phillips, Bradley Chubb and Jalen Phillips in

1107
00:57:58,160 --> 00:58:00,280
Speaker 7: the last month, they're gonna have to figure out way

1108
00:58:00,320 --> 00:58:02,920
Speaker 7: to get past rusher or or Josh Allen's going to

1109
00:58:02,960 --> 00:58:05,040
Speaker 7: be back there. Reading a newspaper, and so I think

1110
00:58:05,080 --> 00:58:07,720
Speaker 7: they know the challenge at hand, and there's a lot

1111
00:58:07,720 --> 00:58:09,200
Speaker 7: of respect for Buffalo down here.

1112
00:58:09,400 --> 00:58:11,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was just thinking about the front line of Buffalo.

1113
00:58:11,520 --> 00:58:14,200
Speaker 1: The Bills have started the same offensive line for sixteen

1114
00:58:14,280 --> 00:58:18,640
Speaker 1: games and the Dolphins have had eleven different starting combinations

1115
00:58:18,680 --> 00:58:20,920
Speaker 1: on their side. And of course you just mentioned the

1116
00:58:21,280 --> 00:58:25,280
Speaker 1: recent injuries that the Dolphins have suffered on their front

1117
00:58:25,280 --> 00:58:28,040
Speaker 1: line defensively and the Bills defensively. On their front line.

1118
00:58:28,080 --> 00:58:31,560
Speaker 1: They suffered their injuries early and now they're getting Daikwon

1119
00:58:31,680 --> 00:58:35,000
Speaker 1: Jones back in the fold ed Oliver's been playing extremely well.

1120
00:58:35,040 --> 00:58:37,840
Speaker 1: They signed lyn Vaal Joseph since Week four now he's

1121
00:58:37,840 --> 00:58:40,919
Speaker 1: in the fold. And their defensive ends, while a couple

1122
00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:44,720
Speaker 1: of them have injuries, they're not missing practice because of them.

1123
00:58:44,720 --> 00:58:48,880
Speaker 1: So both lines of scrimmage seem to favor in health

1124
00:58:48,880 --> 00:58:52,959
Speaker 1: wise anyway, the Buffalo team. But it's easy to say,

1125
00:58:53,000 --> 00:58:56,000
Speaker 1: but you know, the Buffalo wins that matchup, but they

1126
00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:57,880
Speaker 1: haven't been playing well the last month. I mean, the

1127
00:58:57,880 --> 00:59:00,640
Speaker 1: Bills have won some games, but they're sputtering. What are

1128
00:59:00,680 --> 00:59:02,280
Speaker 1: the thoughts that when you look at this team from

1129
00:59:02,280 --> 00:59:04,600
Speaker 1: your end of this matchup, you got a team in

1130
00:59:04,640 --> 00:59:07,480
Speaker 1: Buffalo that looks like on paper they're a tough matchup,

1131
00:59:07,480 --> 00:59:10,080
Speaker 1: but man oh man, they're not that impressive when the

1132
00:59:10,120 --> 00:59:10,880
Speaker 1: curtain comes up.

1133
00:59:11,800 --> 00:59:13,560
Speaker 7: Yeah, if you look at this game, and we've talked

1134
00:59:13,560 --> 00:59:15,680
Speaker 7: a lot about what Buffalo has advantage wise, and I

1135
00:59:15,680 --> 00:59:17,840
Speaker 7: think there's the reason their favorite. But if I'm like,

1136
00:59:17,960 --> 00:59:20,320
Speaker 7: why does Miami win this game? If they win this game,

1137
00:59:20,560 --> 00:59:22,360
Speaker 7: I look at it this way. This is a team

1138
00:59:22,480 --> 00:59:25,320
Speaker 7: in the Dolphins that when they jump on teams, they

1139
00:59:25,360 --> 00:59:28,000
Speaker 7: get going. And so if we see that Buffalo offense

1140
00:59:28,280 --> 00:59:31,560
Speaker 7: sputter early, I think that's where Miami can take advantage.

1141
00:59:31,600 --> 00:59:34,360
Speaker 7: They do have a red hot offense. Even last week

1142
00:59:34,400 --> 00:59:38,120
Speaker 7: against Baltimore, they came out and scored two touchdowns pretty

1143
00:59:38,160 --> 00:59:40,160
Speaker 7: early and they ended up going neck and neck with

1144
00:59:40,240 --> 00:59:43,479
Speaker 7: Baltimore and then Oltimately Baltimore just had too much for them.

1145
00:59:44,040 --> 00:59:47,240
Speaker 7: I think that the key will be seeing how the

1146
00:59:47,280 --> 00:59:50,560
Speaker 7: Bills respond to maybe that early jolt. I'd imagine that

1147
00:59:50,600 --> 00:59:54,520
Speaker 7: there's gonna be a lot of momentum playing at home, energy, excitement.

1148
00:59:54,760 --> 00:59:56,920
Speaker 7: I would be shocked if the Dolphins offense didn't come

1149
00:59:56,960 --> 00:59:59,480
Speaker 7: out there and maybe have an early scoring drive in

1150
00:59:59,520 --> 01:00:02,880
Speaker 7: those first two series. How does Buffalo respond, Can they

1151
01:00:03,320 --> 01:00:06,680
Speaker 7: punch back immediately? That's that's really the key. You know,

1152
01:00:06,880 --> 01:00:09,600
Speaker 7: I mentioned earlier some of the injuries to the defensive

1153
01:00:09,640 --> 01:00:11,760
Speaker 7: back group. That doesn't really matter if you can't get

1154
01:00:11,760 --> 01:00:14,360
Speaker 7: Stefan Diggs on the field and active. I know his

1155
01:00:14,720 --> 01:00:17,280
Speaker 7: percentages of snaps has been down the last few weeks.

1156
01:00:17,440 --> 01:00:18,520
Speaker 1: This is the week to play them.

1157
01:00:18,560 --> 01:00:21,240
Speaker 7: You know, Buffalo knows the situation. I think it'll be

1158
01:00:21,280 --> 01:00:23,360
Speaker 7: a lot more clear about Sunday night whether or not

1159
01:00:23,400 --> 01:00:26,080
Speaker 7: they need to win to get in. But this isn't

1160
01:00:26,080 --> 01:00:28,800
Speaker 7: the time to hold anyone back, and so I think

1161
01:00:28,880 --> 01:00:31,640
Speaker 7: I'm really intrigued to see, particularly what I just mentioned

1162
01:00:31,880 --> 01:00:34,560
Speaker 7: the usage of Stefon Diggs. If what has been happening

1163
01:00:34,600 --> 01:00:37,640
Speaker 7: with him for the last month or two, can they

1164
01:00:37,760 --> 01:00:40,920
Speaker 7: figure that out and have him back to that ninety

1165
01:00:40,920 --> 01:00:44,360
Speaker 7: plus percis snap guy who has dominated the Dolphins in

1166
01:00:44,640 --> 01:00:45,480
Speaker 7: recent matchups.

1167
01:00:45,920 --> 01:00:49,040
Speaker 2: And you know, Steve mentioned it how the eleven different

1168
01:00:49,080 --> 01:00:52,200
Speaker 2: line combinations for Miami's OL line has kind of been

1169
01:00:52,240 --> 01:00:56,440
Speaker 2: a constant shuffle all season long. I know they're hoping

1170
01:00:56,480 --> 01:00:59,160
Speaker 2: they get Robert Hunt back this week at the guard spot,

1171
01:00:59,640 --> 01:01:02,400
Speaker 2: but I mean the Bills are tied with Miami for

1172
01:01:02,440 --> 01:01:05,120
Speaker 2: third in the league in sacks, their fourth and quarterback

1173
01:01:05,200 --> 01:01:08,280
Speaker 2: hits with eighty three. And I've seen of late, you know,

1174
01:01:08,320 --> 01:01:11,400
Speaker 2: two has been sacked twelve times in the last four games.

1175
01:01:11,760 --> 01:01:14,120
Speaker 2: He had only been sacked twelve times over the previous

1176
01:01:14,160 --> 01:01:17,480
Speaker 2: eighth before that, So it have they really kind of

1177
01:01:17,520 --> 01:01:20,600
Speaker 2: struggled of late to keep it tied together so the

1178
01:01:20,720 --> 01:01:22,360
Speaker 2: two A has time to get the ball out.

1179
01:01:23,320 --> 01:01:25,240
Speaker 7: Yeah, his injury, the injuries on the O line have

1180
01:01:25,280 --> 01:01:28,640
Speaker 7: started to catch up on him. You mentioned eleven different commendations.

1181
01:01:28,880 --> 01:01:32,480
Speaker 7: They're on their backup center. They've used multiple guards at

1182
01:01:32,480 --> 01:01:35,000
Speaker 7: different spots. Toront Armstead has been in and out of

1183
01:01:35,040 --> 01:01:37,440
Speaker 7: the lineup with the left tackle spot, and so there

1184
01:01:37,480 --> 01:01:39,720
Speaker 7: just has not been a lot of continuity. And if

1185
01:01:39,760 --> 01:01:42,680
Speaker 7: you watch the Dolphins, you know their offense is timing base.

1186
01:01:43,120 --> 01:01:44,880
Speaker 7: Their goal is to get the ball out of two

1187
01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:47,120
Speaker 7: his hands in two and a half seconds or less.

1188
01:01:47,280 --> 01:01:49,880
Speaker 7: It's first or second read and get it out quickly.

1189
01:01:49,920 --> 01:01:52,240
Speaker 7: That's how they function. And teams have done a really

1190
01:01:52,280 --> 01:01:55,680
Speaker 7: good job playing cover two, dropping in those zones and

1191
01:01:55,720 --> 01:01:58,160
Speaker 7: really making two I have to hesitate for a second

1192
01:01:58,440 --> 01:02:00,920
Speaker 7: and giving that defensive front of chance to catch up,

1193
01:02:01,000 --> 01:02:02,920
Speaker 7: and so I think that matchup is going to be

1194
01:02:02,960 --> 01:02:06,439
Speaker 7: so huge. You know, can Buffalo Bill's defensive front get

1195
01:02:06,480 --> 01:02:09,480
Speaker 7: home with four because as we saw in Week four,

1196
01:02:09,560 --> 01:02:12,320
Speaker 7: they have the linebackers and the safeties to be able

1197
01:02:12,320 --> 01:02:15,160
Speaker 7: to play that zone coverage to drop into those lanes

1198
01:02:15,400 --> 01:02:18,400
Speaker 7: and make too hesitate. Can they hold up as far

1199
01:02:18,480 --> 01:02:20,640
Speaker 7: as an offensive line. I do think they'll get Robert

1200
01:02:20,720 --> 01:02:22,960
Speaker 7: Hunt back this week, which should help them both in

1201
01:02:23,040 --> 01:02:25,320
Speaker 7: pass pro and being able to run the ball. But

1202
01:02:25,400 --> 01:02:27,880
Speaker 7: I think the matchups that I really want to key

1203
01:02:27,920 --> 01:02:30,800
Speaker 7: in on is how the edge rushers toront Armstead and

1204
01:02:30,840 --> 01:02:33,600
Speaker 7: Austin Jackson do against some of the Bills guys off

1205
01:02:33,600 --> 01:02:36,000
Speaker 7: the edge, Greg Russau in particular. I think, you know

1206
01:02:36,200 --> 01:02:38,680
Speaker 7: that's going to decide the matchup if they can hound

1207
01:02:38,760 --> 01:02:41,760
Speaker 7: to a and get him down and get him frustrated,

1208
01:02:41,800 --> 01:02:43,760
Speaker 7: get him off his game, his timing golf, and I

1209
01:02:43,800 --> 01:02:44,920
Speaker 7: think the Bills win this game.

1210
01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:48,360
Speaker 1: Thanks so much, Cameron, appreciate it's good talking to see

1211
01:02:48,920 --> 01:02:50,720
Speaker 1: what you covering this game. Are you gonna be on

1212
01:02:50,720 --> 01:02:51,640
Speaker 1: the sidelines for this.

1213
01:02:52,480 --> 01:02:54,520
Speaker 7: I will, I will, I'll be up sidelines. I'll be

1214
01:02:54,600 --> 01:02:57,920
Speaker 7: up there n nine am to one pm for a

1215
01:02:57,960 --> 01:03:00,720
Speaker 7: game day morning and then we'll do preview closer to

1216
01:03:00,760 --> 01:03:03,400
Speaker 7: the start of the game six six point thirty, right

1217
01:03:03,400 --> 01:03:05,960
Speaker 7: before the game, so I'll be there and I can't wait.

1218
01:03:06,040 --> 01:03:07,880
Speaker 2: All right, we'll see you on NFL Network. We'll keep

1219
01:03:07,880 --> 01:03:10,000
Speaker 2: an eye out for you. Thanks Camera, Thanks Cameron, appreciate it.

1220
01:03:10,600 --> 01:03:11,480
Speaker 1: Appreciate you, fellas.

1221
01:03:11,480 --> 01:03:14,360
Speaker 2: All right, that's Cameron Well from NFL Network. Spends a

1222
01:03:14,360 --> 01:03:16,360
Speaker 2: lot of time in South Florida covering the Dolphins. He'll

1223
01:03:16,400 --> 01:03:19,640
Speaker 2: be doing that for the game this weekend, with full

1224
01:03:19,640 --> 01:03:22,439
Speaker 2: coverage on NFL Network through the course of the day

1225
01:03:23,080 --> 01:03:27,800
Speaker 2: as it is playoff seeding weekend for all intents and purposes,

1226
01:03:28,520 --> 01:03:31,080
Speaker 2: with all the teams that are still alive in the

1227
01:03:31,120 --> 01:03:35,520
Speaker 2: playoff on both on the AFC and NFC side of

1228
01:03:35,560 --> 01:03:39,160
Speaker 2: the ledger. You know, people think it's a tight race

1229
01:03:39,560 --> 01:03:41,800
Speaker 2: in the AFC with four teams at nine and seven.

1230
01:03:42,560 --> 01:03:43,480
Speaker 2: Go look at the NFC.

1231
01:03:43,920 --> 01:03:44,400
Speaker 1: It is a.

1232
01:03:44,400 --> 01:03:48,240
Speaker 2: Shmazzle of teams. It's crazy. You got three teams that

1233
01:03:48,280 --> 01:03:52,040
Speaker 2: can win the AFC South in the last week. It's nuts,

1234
01:03:52,080 --> 01:03:56,919
Speaker 2: absolutely nuts. We do have to pivot though, and get

1235
01:03:56,960 --> 01:03:59,480
Speaker 2: back to our topic at hand, which is the football

1236

1240
01:04:11,360 --> 01:04:15,400

01:04:15,760 --> 01:04:18,120

1246

1247
01:04:31,320 --> 01:04:32,160
Speaker 2: What do you got for Cindy?

1248
01:04:33,160 --> 01:04:37,720
Speaker 6: Hi, guys, Happy New Year? And I have a comment

1249
01:04:37,880 --> 01:04:38,600
Speaker 6: and a question.

1250
01:04:38,760 --> 01:04:39,040
Speaker 2: Sure.

1251
01:04:39,600 --> 01:04:46,479
Speaker 6: My comment is that the eight o'clock games are They're

1252
01:04:46,560 --> 01:04:50,800
Speaker 6: horrible because my husband and I are retired, but we

1253
01:04:50,960 --> 01:04:56,280
Speaker 6: get the family and friends together, but everybody's got a

1254
01:04:56,320 --> 01:05:00,200
Speaker 6: work on Monday, so nobody comes. I don't like that.

1255
01:05:00,960 --> 01:05:02,200
Speaker 2: I thought you were going to tell me that you

1256
01:05:02,280 --> 01:05:04,080
Speaker 2: got everybody over there, and by the time you're done

1257
01:05:04,080 --> 01:05:05,960
Speaker 2: cleaning up, it's two in the morning. I thought that's

1258
01:05:05,960 --> 01:05:07,560
Speaker 2: where you were going. You totally fooled me.

1259
01:05:08,640 --> 01:05:12,400
Speaker 6: No, no, nobody comes because they all have to work

1260
01:05:12,760 --> 01:05:13,640
Speaker 6: on Monday morning.

1261
01:05:13,840 --> 01:05:14,360
Speaker 1: I get you.

1262
01:05:14,680 --> 01:05:23,480
Speaker 6: My question is, is Brady's going to change up his

1263
01:05:23,480 --> 01:05:31,080
Speaker 6: his running? Like I see that Cook is running up

1264
01:05:31,120 --> 01:05:35,040
Speaker 6: the middle like every play and he should be going

1265
01:05:35,240 --> 01:05:41,640
Speaker 6: out of the route left right and I just off

1266
01:05:41,760 --> 01:05:45,440
Speaker 6: tackle like everybody's got his number.

1267
01:05:46,040 --> 01:05:49,600
Speaker 2: So is he going to change well, I mean I

1268
01:05:49,640 --> 01:05:52,280
Speaker 2: think they're There are always tweaks to a game plan,

1269
01:05:52,520 --> 01:05:55,640
Speaker 2: and you know, you often will try to run outside

1270
01:05:55,680 --> 01:05:58,200
Speaker 2: if you believe your back is superior to who they

1271
01:05:58,240 --> 01:06:00,400
Speaker 2: have at the second level, and if you feel that

1272
01:06:00,720 --> 01:06:02,680
Speaker 2: the other team isn't good at setting the edge and

1273
01:06:02,720 --> 01:06:04,800
Speaker 2: you feel like your back can get the corner similar

1274
01:06:04,880 --> 01:06:06,920
Speaker 2: to the way he did against Dallas. I mean, he

1275
01:06:07,000 --> 01:06:10,640
Speaker 2: got the corner routinely, even though that's a fast defense,

1276
01:06:10,920 --> 01:06:12,840
Speaker 2: because it was schemed up well. They were doing their

1277
01:06:12,840 --> 01:06:15,080
Speaker 2: pulling tackle scheme and it worked all night, so they

1278
01:06:15,120 --> 01:06:18,280
Speaker 2: just kept doing it. That's not gonna work every single week,

1279
01:06:19,560 --> 01:06:21,760
Speaker 2: so you do have to mix it up. But Steve,

1280
01:06:21,760 --> 01:06:22,920
Speaker 2: I don't know if you have any thoughts on it.

1281
01:06:23,000 --> 01:06:24,960
Speaker 1: Well, there may be a chance for that this week

1282
01:06:25,000 --> 01:06:27,840
Speaker 1: because the guys playing the edges for the Dolphins are

1283
01:06:28,400 --> 01:06:31,920
Speaker 1: not our backups. Also, one of the things they do

1284
01:06:32,040 --> 01:06:34,760
Speaker 1: is they've got this You've seen you know, Dion Dawkins

1285
01:06:34,760 --> 01:06:37,280
Speaker 1: come across the formation and Cook's gonna follow that guy

1286
01:06:37,320 --> 01:06:41,280
Speaker 1: wherever he goes. They'll probably continue to do that and

1287
01:06:41,400 --> 01:06:44,040
Speaker 1: see how the Dolphins are going to defend it. We

1288
01:06:44,080 --> 01:06:47,400
Speaker 1: saw the Patriots do a little something different than teams

1289
01:06:47,960 --> 01:06:50,840
Speaker 1: before this and that the guy who was at the

1290
01:06:50,920 --> 01:06:52,840
Speaker 1: end of the line of scrimmage where Dion Dawkins comes

1291
01:06:52,880 --> 01:06:54,840
Speaker 1: across and kicks out the defensive end or in this

1292
01:06:54,880 --> 01:06:57,920
Speaker 1: case it'll be an outside linebacker, the guy he kicks out.

1293
01:06:57,960 --> 01:07:00,480
Speaker 1: What that guy does if he senses it that's coming,

1294
01:07:00,560 --> 01:07:03,840
Speaker 1: if the tackle he's over, the right tackle blocks down

1295
01:07:04,040 --> 01:07:06,440
Speaker 1: and you can see big Deon Dawkins coming towards him.

1296
01:07:06,480 --> 01:07:09,960
Speaker 1: What he did was he ran towards Dawkins and took

1297
01:07:10,040 --> 01:07:14,160
Speaker 1: him out and let the guys behind him, the inside linebackers,

1298
01:07:15,080 --> 01:07:18,280
Speaker 1: scrape and come and set the edge of the defense

1299
01:07:18,280 --> 01:07:22,240
Speaker 1: and get there. That's how the Patriots defended that tackle

1300
01:07:22,280 --> 01:07:25,480
Speaker 1: pulling play. They had the defense of the outside linebackers

1301
01:07:25,480 --> 01:07:28,240
Speaker 1: spill the play to the outside instead of having that

1302
01:07:28,280 --> 01:07:31,840
Speaker 1: guy set the edge knock Dawkins knock him outside and

1303
01:07:31,880 --> 01:07:34,680
Speaker 1: the and cook cuts it back up inside. They did

1304
01:07:34,760 --> 01:07:37,640
Speaker 1: just the opposite of that. I think you can see

1305
01:07:37,720 --> 01:07:40,280
Speaker 1: you can imagine that Joe Brady's gonna find out how

1306
01:07:40,280 --> 01:07:44,000
Speaker 1: the Dolphins are gonna play it. Uh. The Patriots did

1307
01:07:44,040 --> 01:07:44,800
Speaker 1: a nice job of it.

1308
01:07:45,560 --> 01:07:45,680
Speaker 2: Uh.

1309
01:07:45,800 --> 01:07:49,960
Speaker 1: They they stuffed the run pretty good. So, yes, if

1310
01:07:49,960 --> 01:07:51,880
Speaker 1: they're gonna do something, they're gonna do something. If they're

1311
01:07:51,880 --> 01:07:55,280
Speaker 1: gonna do something different, they're gonna probably experiment to see

1312
01:07:55,280 --> 01:07:59,000
Speaker 1: how the Dolphins are gonna defend it, because there's multiple

1313
01:07:59,000 --> 01:08:03,000
Speaker 1: ways you can depending on that, we'll see, will depend

1314
01:08:03,040 --> 01:08:04,160
Speaker 1: on how much of it you see.

1315
01:08:04,560 --> 01:08:08,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we'll see what Joe Brady decides to draw

1316
01:08:08,800 --> 01:08:11,840
Speaker 2: up for the run game this week. Let's go to

1317
01:08:12,080 --> 01:08:15,280
Speaker 2: joe In Snyder next on the Football Relationship Hotline. What

1318
01:08:15,280 --> 01:08:15,800
Speaker 2: do you got for us?

1319
01:08:15,840 --> 01:08:16,120
Speaker 1: Joe?

1320
01:08:17,000 --> 01:08:18,240
Speaker 8: Hey, guys, how you doing.

1321
01:08:18,320 --> 01:08:20,120
Speaker 1: Happy New Year's Yeah too too.

1322
01:08:20,240 --> 01:08:22,880
Speaker 8: Let me get your let me get your opinion on this.

1323
01:08:23,640 --> 01:08:28,000
Speaker 8: My brother married into this large family way out west,

1324
01:08:28,640 --> 01:08:32,160
Speaker 8: and my brother's a big Buffalo Bills fan. And the

1325
01:08:32,200 --> 01:08:34,960
Speaker 8: way he speaks is, Oh, we had a tough game

1326
01:08:35,040 --> 01:08:38,559
Speaker 8: this week, but I thought we played really well. Yeah,

1327
01:08:38,640 --> 01:08:41,479
Speaker 8: we took some injuries, but I thought we had a

1328
01:08:41,640 --> 01:08:46,800
Speaker 8: good practice the other day. Well, this family he married into,

1329
01:08:46,880 --> 01:08:50,920
Speaker 8: they're not football fans. Anyways, they had an intervention on

1330
01:08:51,040 --> 01:08:54,200
Speaker 8: my brother. There's nine of them there, and they sit

1331
01:08:54,280 --> 01:08:58,679
Speaker 8: them down and they say, you know, you're not actually

1332
01:08:58,720 --> 01:09:01,640
Speaker 8: a Buffalo bill. You're just a back guy sitting on

1333
01:09:01,720 --> 01:09:06,879
Speaker 8: the college trinking beer, eating nachos. Uh, what's your opinion

1334
01:09:06,960 --> 01:09:07,240
Speaker 8: on that?

1335
01:09:07,680 --> 01:09:11,639
Speaker 2: So they they took issue with him with the way

1336
01:09:11,680 --> 01:09:13,840
Speaker 2: he commented about the football.

1337
01:09:13,400 --> 01:09:17,880
Speaker 8: Team, right, I keep speaking like he says.

1338
01:09:17,680 --> 01:09:22,720
Speaker 2: We like, Yeah, I don't know if I would have

1339
01:09:22,720 --> 01:09:25,960
Speaker 2: had an intervention on that, but he's a fan of

1340
01:09:26,000 --> 01:09:29,160
Speaker 2: the team. What the hell is the problem with that?

1341
01:09:29,160 --> 01:09:30,280
Speaker 8: That's what I said.

1342
01:09:30,800 --> 01:09:33,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a weird one.

1343
01:09:33,920 --> 01:09:37,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a little weird one. And obviously he didn't

1344
01:09:37,160 --> 01:09:41,439
Speaker 1: vet the family before he married into it, so good boy.

1345
01:09:42,160 --> 01:09:49,840
Speaker 1: I would say this if it was me who got interventioned,

1346
01:09:50,479 --> 01:09:53,400
Speaker 1: who got intervened on because I was a fan of

1347
01:09:53,439 --> 01:09:57,479
Speaker 1: a of a football team, I would question their ability

1348
01:09:57,520 --> 01:10:02,000
Speaker 1: to have passion about anything. I'm certainly football is not

1349
01:10:02,040 --> 01:10:03,880
Speaker 1: the be all end all of anybody's life unless you're

1350
01:10:03,880 --> 01:10:07,679
Speaker 1: getting a paycheck from the from the league or somebody

1351
01:10:07,680 --> 01:10:10,280
Speaker 1: affiliated with it. Unless you're getting paid for it. Everybody

1352
01:10:10,280 --> 01:10:14,320
Speaker 1: else is just for entertainment purposes, right, So if they

1353
01:10:14,360 --> 01:10:17,519
Speaker 1: don't get the reference of everybody being in on it,

1354
01:10:17,960 --> 01:10:20,320
Speaker 1: like our team and we and I or not that,

1355
01:10:20,560 --> 01:10:22,360
Speaker 1: I don't know what to tell you. I don't know

1356
01:10:22,439 --> 01:10:26,280
Speaker 1: that whether they've been living on you say out west.

1357
01:10:27,000 --> 01:10:29,439
Speaker 1: Certainly there are some rural spots out west, but I

1358
01:10:29,439 --> 01:10:32,360
Speaker 1: don't think there's any place that doesn't get internet or

1359
01:10:32,360 --> 01:10:34,240
Speaker 1: it doesn't know about or doesn't know about football.

1360
01:10:34,320 --> 01:10:37,280
Speaker 2: I will say this, Joe, I think you and your

1361
01:10:37,320 --> 01:10:40,400
Speaker 2: family need to mobilize, and I think you need to

1362
01:10:40,400 --> 01:10:45,080
Speaker 2: have a counter intervention as to the importance of Bill's

1363
01:10:45,080 --> 01:10:48,080
Speaker 2: football to anybody from the eight counties of Western New

1364
01:10:48,160 --> 01:10:52,759
Speaker 2: York and beyond. I think they need to understand your

1365
01:10:52,800 --> 01:10:57,160
Speaker 2: brother's fandom and what it means. Yeah, because they're clearly

1366
01:10:57,200 --> 01:10:58,920
Speaker 2: out to lunch on any and all of it.

1367
01:10:59,000 --> 01:11:01,439
Speaker 1: They all need to come to a aim. I mean,

1368
01:11:01,479 --> 01:11:02,200
Speaker 1: that's what you need to do.

1369
01:11:02,200 --> 01:11:04,600
Speaker 2: They need to come to Orchard Park, Orchard.

1370
01:11:04,320 --> 01:11:08,120
Speaker 1: Park and get them to a game and maybe then

1371
01:11:08,840 --> 01:11:10,479
Speaker 1: just give them a whole give them a big trip

1372
01:11:10,520 --> 01:11:13,360
Speaker 1: with all the bills and whistles and and alert the

1373
01:11:13,400 --> 01:11:16,280
Speaker 1: Bills mafia that they're coming and they'll never be the same.

1374
01:11:16,560 --> 01:11:19,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, reverse intervention, that's my solution. Joe.

1375
01:11:21,680 --> 01:11:23,840
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what though, Joe, do it. Listen, Joe,

1376
01:11:24,160 --> 01:11:25,880
Speaker 1: you got to extend the olive branch. You gotta do

1377
01:11:25,920 --> 01:11:27,519
Speaker 1: it with love and affection. You got to bring him

1378
01:11:27,560 --> 01:11:29,280
Speaker 1: and say, hey, listen, come here. Do you guys need

1379
01:11:29,280 --> 01:11:31,040
Speaker 1: to find out about this? You need to be in

1380
01:11:31,280 --> 01:11:32,880
Speaker 1: need to be you need to be part of the family.

1381
01:11:32,920 --> 01:11:34,680
Speaker 1: So come here, let me give you let it. Let

1382
01:11:34,720 --> 01:11:37,360
Speaker 1: the mafia give you a big hug and bring him

1383
01:11:37,360 --> 01:11:37,960
Speaker 1: out to a game.

1384
01:11:38,600 --> 01:11:41,519
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's a good plan. Thank you, guys.

1385
01:11:41,560 --> 01:11:45,120
Speaker 2: All right, good luck turning them, Joe, good luck. Yeah,

1386
01:11:45,160 --> 01:11:47,879
Speaker 2: a reverse intervention is totally called for in that situation.

1387
01:11:47,920 --> 01:11:49,760
Speaker 2: In my opinion, let me yeah, and just do like

1388
01:11:49,880 --> 01:11:50,679
Speaker 2: you're a sad listen.

1389
01:11:51,080 --> 01:11:52,960
Speaker 1: You're right, everybody, You're right. I am kind of deep

1390
01:11:53,000 --> 01:11:54,920
Speaker 1: in this. But let me tell you how. Let's go.

1391
01:11:55,200 --> 01:11:57,479
Speaker 1: Let me just show you what you're up against. Yeah, here,

1392
01:11:57,840 --> 01:12:00,479
Speaker 1: you know, so so get Let me.

1393
01:12:00,439 --> 01:12:03,160
Speaker 2: Suck you into the experience that I deal with every week.

1394
01:12:03,240 --> 01:12:07,400
Speaker 1: Yes, let me inoculate you against your non passionate approach

1395
01:12:07,439 --> 01:12:08,160
Speaker 1: to the bills.

1396
01:12:08,240 --> 01:12:14,320
Speaker 2: Vaccine uh eight oh three five eight five fifty two

1397
01:12:14,360 --> 01:12:16,000
Speaker 2: five fifty the number to get on board. If you

1398
01:12:16,040 --> 01:12:17,920
Speaker 2: have a problem, you can hit us up there on

1399
01:12:17,960 --> 01:12:21,720
Speaker 2: the Football Relationship Hotline presented by PEPSI. But we'll take

1400
01:12:21,720 --> 01:12:23,800
Speaker 2: any and all calls on the Bills in this gigantic

1401
01:12:23,840 --> 01:12:27,240
Speaker 2: matchup on Sunday night against the Dolphins, which will be

1402
01:12:27,640 --> 01:12:33,400
Speaker 2: for the AFC East title. Uh I will say that

1403
01:12:33,479 --> 01:12:39,639
Speaker 2: the updates today are slightly better for the Dolphins. Zach Sealer,

1404
01:12:39,640 --> 01:12:41,760
Speaker 2: who missed practiced yesterday due to illness, one of their

1405
01:12:41,760 --> 01:12:47,200
Speaker 2: starting defensive lineman, was back at practice today, so too

1406
01:12:47,400 --> 01:12:51,720
Speaker 2: was Tron Armstead, so he's battling injuries every week for

1407
01:12:51,760 --> 01:12:57,960
Speaker 2: the last three years. But Hill, Waddle, Mostert and Howard.

1408
01:12:58,240 --> 01:13:02,280
Speaker 2: Howard's not really expected to play misspractice for a second

1409
01:13:02,320 --> 01:13:05,479
Speaker 2: straight day. And it was interesting that Cameron Wolf told

1410
01:13:05,520 --> 01:13:09,519
Speaker 2: us Steve that most Are, though he may dress in play,

1411
01:13:10,479 --> 01:13:14,240
Speaker 2: may be used more in a backup role. So you

1412
01:13:14,360 --> 01:13:17,439
Speaker 2: might see Devon a Chan have the primary role in

1413
01:13:17,479 --> 01:13:21,320
Speaker 2: the backfield with most are taking maybe a number two

1414
01:13:21,360 --> 01:13:25,000
Speaker 2: type role to keep his rep count down for his

1415
01:13:25,080 --> 01:13:26,160
Speaker 2: knee and ankle injuries.

1416
01:13:26,439 --> 01:13:29,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, they'll have some adjustments if they need to have them.

1417
01:13:29,800 --> 01:13:33,800
Speaker 1: But if I think that comes what it comes down

1418
01:13:33,800 --> 01:13:36,080
Speaker 1: to is really when those guys are on in there,

1419
01:13:36,479 --> 01:13:39,880
Speaker 1: how much do you think through film study has it

1420
01:13:40,040 --> 01:13:42,840
Speaker 1: changed their offense when they've been in and out. So

1421
01:13:43,040 --> 01:13:44,560
Speaker 1: certainly there's a lot of things they like to do

1422
01:13:44,600 --> 01:13:46,400
Speaker 1: with Most and some other stuff they do with a Chan,

1423
01:13:46,520 --> 01:13:49,640
Speaker 1: or maybe they are interchangeable. If they're interchangeable, then it

1424
01:13:49,680 --> 01:13:52,639
Speaker 1: becomes easier to defend because you have any extra stuff

1425
01:13:52,680 --> 01:13:53,200
Speaker 1: to worry about.

1426
01:13:53,240 --> 01:13:55,559
Speaker 2: Right, well, ah, chan is I mean most eight's four

1427
01:13:55,680 --> 01:13:57,400
Speaker 2: three eight, a Chan's four to three to two.

1428
01:13:57,640 --> 01:13:59,720
Speaker 1: Both of them bring a lot of speed to the to.

1429
01:13:59,680 --> 01:14:01,720
Speaker 2: The and he was a problem here in week four

1430
01:14:01,760 --> 01:14:03,720
Speaker 2: if you remember, he had like seven carries for one

1431
01:14:03,760 --> 01:14:08,040
Speaker 2: hundred and fourteen yards, and on the season, a Jan

1432
01:14:08,240 --> 01:14:13,760
Speaker 2: averages eight yards a carry, right, eight Right, that's a

1433
01:14:13,800 --> 01:14:14,439
Speaker 2: fat number.

1434
01:14:14,840 --> 01:14:18,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, so they've got so you how much those guys

1435
01:14:18,840 --> 01:14:21,400
Speaker 1: play and how their deployed is going to be a problem.

1436
01:14:21,520 --> 01:14:24,439
Speaker 1: But you've both of them played extensively throughout the season,

1437
01:14:24,479 --> 01:14:25,800
Speaker 1: so you kind of got to handle on what the

1438
01:14:25,800 --> 01:14:29,439
Speaker 1: how they use them. We'll see though. Yeah, certainly when

1439
01:14:29,479 --> 01:14:32,400
Speaker 1: you get both of them, if they're both one hundred percent,

1440
01:14:32,760 --> 01:14:34,719
Speaker 1: it's a problem. Yeah, it's a problem.

1441
01:14:35,240 --> 01:14:37,000
Speaker 2: We have to take a break here, but we'll get

Speaker 1: Thanks.

1462
01:15:42,240 --> 01:15:46,120
Speaker 9: And my question isn't really about the game itself. It's

1463
01:15:46,160 --> 01:15:48,840
Speaker 9: about how they travel. You know, they have to go

1464
01:15:48,880 --> 01:15:52,000
Speaker 9: a day ahead of time. They fly down to this hotel,

1465
01:15:52,800 --> 01:15:55,519
Speaker 9: and how do they sleep? How can you sleep for

1466
01:15:55,640 --> 01:15:56,360
Speaker 9: a game like that?

1467
01:15:57,000 --> 01:15:57,200
Speaker 2: You know?

1468
01:15:57,240 --> 01:15:59,519
Speaker 9: And do they have roommates? They get their own room

1469
01:16:00,280 --> 01:16:02,360
Speaker 9: and then they have all the next day to prepare.

1470
01:16:02,479 --> 01:16:03,880
Speaker 9: So what do they have to go through?

1471
01:16:04,560 --> 01:16:07,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll let Steve handle that since he did that

1472
01:16:07,080 --> 01:16:07,840
Speaker 2: for thirteen years.

1473
01:16:07,920 --> 01:16:12,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, the way, they have a walk through meetings here

1474
01:16:12,920 --> 01:16:17,200
Speaker 1: at the stadium on Saturday. They'll get some last minute

1475
01:16:17,240 --> 01:16:20,400
Speaker 1: stuff in then, you know, just meetings, walk through, couple

1476
01:16:20,439 --> 01:16:23,120
Speaker 1: of lists of money, do a game. Well, let's say, okay,

1477
01:16:23,120 --> 01:16:25,719
Speaker 1: for here we go, opening kickoff, Okay, offense on the field,

1478
01:16:25,760 --> 01:16:28,040
Speaker 1: defense on the that kind of thing. They just walk

1479
01:16:28,120 --> 01:16:31,760
Speaker 1: through some logistical stuff and then they they shower up.

1480
01:16:31,800 --> 01:16:34,720
Speaker 1: But everybody gets them to the airport is like what

1481
01:16:36,360 --> 01:16:40,479
Speaker 1: report got to be there? Reported in like one, depending

1482
01:16:41,280 --> 01:16:44,760
Speaker 1: depending on how far the flight is. So then they

1483
01:16:45,360 --> 01:16:48,840
Speaker 1: all hop on the same plane. It's the same jet,

1484
01:16:48,960 --> 01:16:52,600
Speaker 1: the same stewardesses, same pilots, everything's the same. It's a

1485
01:16:52,680 --> 01:16:57,760
Speaker 1: routine hop on the plane. Everybody settles in. There's I

1486
01:16:57,800 --> 01:16:59,599
Speaker 1: don't know, two hundred people on the plane, two hundred

1487
01:16:59,600 --> 01:17:01,760
Speaker 1: and fifty pe on the plane on a plane that

1488
01:17:01,840 --> 01:17:04,920
Speaker 1: probably holds three hundred people. It's a big wide body jet.

1489
01:17:06,080 --> 01:17:10,040
Speaker 1: Fly to Miami. You get off the plane, walk down

1490
01:17:10,040 --> 01:17:12,559
Speaker 1: onto the tarmac and there's five buses there. The players

1491
01:17:12,600 --> 01:17:14,559
Speaker 1: get on three or four of them. The media and

1492
01:17:14,600 --> 01:17:17,519
Speaker 1: the crew get on one, staff and the staff and

1493
01:17:17,600 --> 01:17:20,120
Speaker 1: the equipment guys get on a fifth, and they go

1494
01:17:20,200 --> 01:17:23,240
Speaker 1: to the stadium and they get the locker room set

1495
01:17:23,280 --> 01:17:25,920
Speaker 1: up for the game that night. Yet Saturday night, everybody

1496
01:17:25,920 --> 01:17:27,920
Speaker 1: else goes straight to the airport, I mean straight to

1497
01:17:27,960 --> 01:17:31,559
Speaker 1: the hotel. You get into the hotel, walk in, there's

1498
01:17:31,560 --> 01:17:33,360
Speaker 1: a big table there. They don't check in or anything.

1499
01:17:33,360 --> 01:17:34,920
Speaker 1: You just have an envelope with your name on it

1500
01:17:34,960 --> 01:17:37,240
Speaker 1: and your room number. You grab the envelope with your

1501
01:17:37,360 --> 01:17:39,080
Speaker 1: name on it, open it up, and there's your room key.

1502
01:17:39,120 --> 01:17:42,840
Speaker 1: You go up Presto chango. Most teams now have a

1503
01:17:42,880 --> 01:17:45,720
Speaker 1: policy where you don't have a roommate. You get your

1504
01:17:45,720 --> 01:17:47,880
Speaker 1: own room. Some guys do have roommates. I think some

1505
01:17:47,920 --> 01:17:51,639
Speaker 1: teams might. Veteran guys don't that kind of thing. Quarterbacks

1506
01:17:51,680 --> 01:17:53,280
Speaker 1: get their own room, that kind of stuff. There's a

1507
01:17:53,320 --> 01:17:55,879
Speaker 1: hierarchy there in some way, shape or form. Most places

1508
01:17:56,120 --> 01:17:58,040
Speaker 1: and some places you get your everybody gets their own

1509
01:17:58,120 --> 01:18:00,400
Speaker 1: room however, they do it. That's what you get. You

1510
01:18:00,439 --> 01:18:03,679
Speaker 1: go up, relax, kick back in the room. Some teams

1511
01:18:03,720 --> 01:18:05,320
Speaker 1: will let you go out to dinner on your own,

1512
01:18:05,360 --> 01:18:07,639
Speaker 1: so if you're going back to your hometown, you can

1513
01:18:07,680 --> 01:18:09,759
Speaker 1: go get your dinner with your friends or your family.

1514
01:18:10,120 --> 01:18:12,000
Speaker 1: If you have teammates on the other team that are

1515
01:18:12,040 --> 01:18:14,720
Speaker 1: former teammates or family members or something, you go out

1516
01:18:14,760 --> 01:18:16,920
Speaker 1: to dinner with them. You touch base with your own

1517
01:18:16,960 --> 01:18:20,320
Speaker 1: group until you get to about nine o'clock at night.

1518
01:18:20,360 --> 01:18:22,720
Speaker 1: You get you get into like three or four in

1519
01:18:22,760 --> 01:18:24,920
Speaker 1: the afternoon. You have all that time, you have like

1520
01:18:24,960 --> 01:18:27,599
Speaker 1: five hours to kill before like a nine o'clock meeting

1521
01:18:27,640 --> 01:18:30,920
Speaker 1: that night. Head coach comes out, says a few words,

1522
01:18:30,960 --> 01:18:32,920
Speaker 1: you watch a little film, type up some loose ends,

1523
01:18:33,520 --> 01:18:37,320
Speaker 1: any anything else you want to go over. They do it.

1524
01:18:37,360 --> 01:18:41,040
Speaker 1: They they put the game to bed. Maybe there'll be

1525
01:18:41,080 --> 01:18:44,120
Speaker 1: a late night snack available at that point too. Then

1526
01:18:44,160 --> 01:18:46,719
Speaker 1: everybody goes up. There's a curfew at probably they probably

1527
01:18:46,760 --> 01:18:49,920
Speaker 1: come check at ten thirty or eleven at night. Coach

1528
01:18:49,960 --> 01:18:52,040
Speaker 1: comes around or a staff member comes around, just checks

1529
01:18:52,040 --> 01:18:55,879
Speaker 1: everybody's room, make sure everybody's there, no problems. They'll sometimes

1530
01:18:55,920 --> 01:18:59,280
Speaker 1: have the training staff come by and say hey, you need.

1531
01:18:59,479 --> 01:19:01,600
Speaker 2: Well, they have te eve the rooms set up downstairs

1532
01:19:01,600 --> 01:19:03,920
Speaker 2: in the ball room, right, so if there's players that

1533
01:19:03,960 --> 01:19:06,599
Speaker 2: are nursing injuries trying to get ready for Sunday, they'll

1534
01:19:06,600 --> 01:19:09,479
Speaker 2: continue that process on Saturday on site right with the

1535
01:19:09,520 --> 01:19:11,280
Speaker 2: athletic training staff and the medical staff.

1536
01:19:11,280 --> 01:19:13,760
Speaker 1: They'll also have maybe a trainer, maybe even one of

Speaker 1: the team doctors up. They'll go back and check on

1538
01:19:15,760 --> 01:19:17,960

1540
01:19:19,720 --> 01:19:22,960
Speaker 1: need that? What is okay? What that kind of thing?

1541
01:19:23,040 --> 01:19:24,880

1553
01:19:56,880 --> 01:19:58,680
Speaker 1: later than that, and then another bus that goes a

1554
01:19:58,680 --> 01:20:01,080
Speaker 1: little later than that, and they'll have the final bus

1555
01:20:01,160 --> 01:20:02,439
Speaker 1: or however many buses are.

1556
01:20:02,680 --> 01:20:03,320
Speaker 2: They're staggered.

1557
01:20:03,360 --> 01:20:05,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're staggered buses. So if guys want to go early,

1558
01:20:05,880 --> 01:20:07,880
Speaker 1: they can. If they don't, they can wait till the

1559
01:20:07,960 --> 01:20:10,719
Speaker 1: last minute. Everybody has to be at the stadium about

1560
01:20:10,760 --> 01:20:13,840
Speaker 1: two hours before the game. That's the that's the last

1561
01:20:13,880 --> 01:20:17,760
Speaker 1: they want you there because of traffic another considerations, and

1562
01:20:17,800 --> 01:20:21,920
Speaker 1: they'll stagger that bus. So it's gonna be there two

1563
01:20:21,960 --> 01:20:24,799
Speaker 1: hours early. So sometimes you have to leave three hours

1564
01:20:24,800 --> 01:20:27,200
Speaker 1: early or like that because it's a long driver or

1565
01:20:27,200 --> 01:20:28,320
Speaker 1: the traffic or whatever. Whatever.

1566
01:20:28,400 --> 01:20:29,360
Speaker 2: They're all police.

1567
01:20:29,560 --> 01:20:30,920
Speaker 1: They have a police escort. But if you go to

1568
01:20:30,960 --> 01:20:34,760
Speaker 1: a place like San Jose where the Niners, if you're

1569
01:20:34,760 --> 01:20:37,200
Speaker 1: staying in San Francisco, it's forty five minute drive, or

1570
01:20:37,240 --> 01:20:39,200
Speaker 1: if you're in Miami and you're staying at the beach

1571
01:20:39,800 --> 01:20:41,880
Speaker 1: and it's a you know, it's a thirty five minute drive.

1572
01:20:41,920 --> 01:20:44,240
Speaker 1: That kind of stuff. That's all worked into the schedule

1573
01:20:44,680 --> 01:20:46,519
Speaker 1: and then you go to the game. You tee it

1574
01:20:46,600 --> 01:20:49,320
Speaker 1: up and play. As soon as the game's over everybody

1575
01:20:49,360 --> 01:20:53,080
Speaker 1: kind of lount you know, pros game, you shower, postgame media,

1576
01:20:53,320 --> 01:20:58,439
Speaker 1: all of that. You're usually the rule of thumb is

1577
01:20:58,520 --> 01:21:01,280
Speaker 1: that game kicks off of one in the afternoon. It's

1578
01:21:01,320 --> 01:21:04,839
Speaker 1: the same for an eight twenty. If it's one o'clock kickoff,

1579
01:21:04,960 --> 01:21:08,280
Speaker 1: you usually can count on being on the plane, wheels

1580
01:21:08,560 --> 01:21:13,080
Speaker 1: up off the ground five hours later, five hours later,

1581
01:21:13,320 --> 01:21:16,200
Speaker 1: so they're on the ground, they're in the airport, wheels

1582
01:21:16,320 --> 01:21:20,320
Speaker 1: up at about six pm eight So do the math.

1583
01:21:20,360 --> 01:21:25,599
Speaker 1: If it's an eight twenty, you're talking wheels up at

1584
01:21:25,640 --> 01:21:29,600
Speaker 1: what two twenty one, twenty one, twenty am and a

1585
01:21:29,640 --> 01:21:35,040
Speaker 1: flight back. That's it. That's the routine, and they keep

1586
01:21:35,080 --> 01:21:37,479
Speaker 1: it like that as much as they can. The only

1587
01:21:37,520 --> 01:21:41,080
Speaker 1: time that changes, and particularly if you're going to a

1588
01:21:41,120 --> 01:21:43,160
Speaker 1: team that you've played before or played before on a

1589
01:21:43,200 --> 01:21:45,720
Speaker 1: regular basis, if you lose a game, you're staying at

1590
01:21:45,720 --> 01:21:47,599
Speaker 1: a different hotel the next time you go to that town.

1591
01:21:48,040 --> 01:21:50,760
Speaker 1: It's that's just the way it is. They don't mess

1592
01:21:50,800 --> 01:21:54,800
Speaker 1: it around. I'm not saying we're superstitious. We're a little stitious.

1593
01:21:55,120 --> 01:21:58,160
Speaker 1: We're not staying at that hotel again. So sometimes you'll

1594
01:21:58,160 --> 01:22:00,720
Speaker 1: stay at the hotel, you'll lose, you stay at a

1595
01:22:00,760 --> 01:22:03,160
Speaker 1: different hotel the next time, and then you go back

1596
01:22:03,160 --> 01:22:05,240
Speaker 1: to the regular hotel the next time, just because it's

1597
01:22:05,720 --> 01:22:09,400
Speaker 1: it's better convenient. It's convenient, so it doesn't last long.

1598
01:22:09,520 --> 01:22:10,880
Speaker 1: That's that's how they travel.

1599
01:22:10,960 --> 01:22:14,519
Speaker 2: There are some final evening meetings from Saturday night into Sunday,

1600
01:22:14,560 --> 01:22:18,840
Speaker 2: but usually they do have dinner hours on their own,

1601
01:22:19,280 --> 01:22:21,439
Speaker 2: as Steve said, with family and friends. But yeah, that's

1602
01:22:21,479 --> 01:22:26,040
Speaker 2: that's kind of it in a nutshell. And difficulty sleeping.

1603
01:22:26,400 --> 01:22:29,679
Speaker 2: I mean, these guys' bodies are hanging by this time. Yeah,

1604
01:22:29,720 --> 01:22:32,400
Speaker 2: and I understand they they're probably thinking about the game

1605
01:22:32,439 --> 01:22:35,000
Speaker 2: and execute. They all visualizing and all that stuff.

1606
01:22:35,040 --> 01:22:37,400
Speaker 1: They'll have no problems to hey that when they that's

1607
01:22:37,439 --> 01:22:39,320
Speaker 1: part of what they mean when they say, hey, just

1608
01:22:39,560 --> 01:22:41,960
Speaker 1: stay in your process. Everybody's got a way to go

1609
01:22:42,000 --> 01:22:45,120
Speaker 1: to sleep. Everybody's got a different technique. Either they take

1610
01:22:45,200 --> 01:22:46,440
Speaker 1: some a little melatonin.

1611
01:22:46,760 --> 01:22:48,040
Speaker 2: They can sleep in too.

1612
01:22:48,000 --> 01:22:50,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they can sleep in or they'll you know whatever.

1613
01:22:50,880 --> 01:22:54,679
Speaker 2: One o'clock game first buses eight am.

1614
01:22:54,760 --> 01:22:57,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're taking they'll take an ambient whatever and the

1615
01:22:57,680 --> 01:22:59,360
Speaker 1: and the doctors will help me if they ask for it,

1616
01:22:59,479 --> 01:23:04,160
Speaker 1: you know, if they can. So you're right. Rest is hard.

1617
01:23:05,080 --> 01:23:07,040
Speaker 1: There were time when night you struggle to get to

1618
01:23:07,040 --> 01:23:11,679
Speaker 1: sleep because man o, man, it's for the division. Yeah.

1619
01:23:12,360 --> 01:23:16,360
Speaker 2: We mentioned that James Cook and Dion Dawkins are Buffalo's

1620
01:23:17,040 --> 01:23:21,639
Speaker 2: Pro Bowl starters. They were selected, which was announced last

1621
01:23:21,720 --> 01:23:25,160
Speaker 2: night on NFL Network at eight pm. And I know

1622
01:23:25,240 --> 01:23:29,000
Speaker 2: there were some people sore at the fact that Josh

1623
01:23:29,080 --> 01:23:33,080
Speaker 2: Allen was not one of the three quarterbacks selected for

1624
01:23:33,280 --> 01:23:39,800
Speaker 2: the Pro Bowl squad. So on NFL dot com they

1625
01:23:39,920 --> 01:23:45,400
Speaker 2: listed the top ten Pro Bowl Games snups for this year.

1626
01:23:46,600 --> 01:23:50,559
Speaker 2: In the top ten, Steve, where would you guess? I

1627
01:23:50,600 --> 01:23:53,600
Speaker 2: can tell you Josh is on the list? Where is he?

1628
01:23:53,800 --> 01:23:56,320
Speaker 2: Do you think in the rankings list? In the top

1629
01:23:56,360 --> 01:23:58,839
Speaker 2: ten for Pro Bowl snups?

1630
01:24:00,840 --> 01:24:04,280
Speaker 1: He's in top three at least maybe one.

1631
01:24:04,680 --> 01:24:05,160
Speaker 2: He is not.

1632
01:24:05,720 --> 01:24:06,240
Speaker 1: Oh, he's not.

1633
01:24:06,320 --> 01:24:07,639
Speaker 2: I'm going to give you the top three.

1634
01:24:07,720 --> 01:24:08,200
Speaker 1: All right.

1635
01:24:08,280 --> 01:24:10,639
Speaker 2: This is because I get it. This is just one

1636
01:24:10,680 --> 01:24:11,400
Speaker 2: person's opinion.

1637
01:24:11,439 --> 01:24:13,400
Speaker 1: There's some guys. There's some people who.

1638
01:24:13,640 --> 01:24:16,120
Speaker 2: Says, Kevin Patra the around the NFL writer.

1639
01:24:16,360 --> 01:24:18,559
Speaker 1: I can't keep track of every position in that's right.

1640
01:24:19,320 --> 01:24:25,960
Speaker 2: So number three is Brandon Ayuk for San Francisco. He's

1641
01:24:26,080 --> 01:24:33,600
Speaker 2: got thirteen hundred receiving yards in fifteen games, productive productive players.

1642
01:24:33,760 --> 01:24:37,160
Speaker 2: But he's on a team with Christian McCaffrey, Deebo Samuel

1643
01:24:37,160 --> 01:24:40,800
Speaker 2: and George Kittle and who all made this the Pro Bowl.

1644
01:24:41,320 --> 01:24:44,080
Speaker 2: Nine Niners made the Pro Bowl was a league high

1645
01:24:44,160 --> 01:24:51,000
Speaker 2: for one team. Number two snub Legerious Sneid, who moved outside,

1646
01:24:51,080 --> 01:24:54,040
Speaker 2: became a number one corner for a top three defense

1647
01:24:54,120 --> 01:24:58,280
Speaker 2: in Kansas City this year. Does have does have a

1648
01:24:58,320 --> 01:25:01,360
Speaker 2: lot of penalty though, seventeen on the year. He's grabby,

1649
01:25:01,400 --> 01:25:04,080
Speaker 2: He's very grabby. He kind of takes the Baltimore approach

1650
01:25:04,160 --> 01:25:07,680
Speaker 2: to cornerback play. I'm going to keep holding people and

1651
01:25:07,720 --> 01:25:09,679
Speaker 2: grabbing them because you can't call me for a penalty

1652
01:25:09,680 --> 01:25:17,000
Speaker 2: on every single snap. Number one though Antwine Winfield, junior

1653
01:25:17,280 --> 01:25:18,880
Speaker 2: of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

1654
01:25:19,640 --> 01:25:24,679
Speaker 1: So well, oh, he's a corner. He's a safety, a safety.

1655
01:25:24,920 --> 01:25:30,880
Speaker 2: One hundred and seventeen tackles, five sacks, seven quarterback hits,

1656
01:25:31,120 --> 01:25:37,880
Speaker 2: five forced fumbles, four fumble recoveries, three interceptions, twelve pass breakups.

1657
01:25:38,360 --> 01:25:44,360
Speaker 2: I mean, who made it, well, NFC safeties. I didn't

1658
01:25:44,400 --> 01:25:45,080
Speaker 2: look at the NFC.

1659
01:25:45,160 --> 01:25:48,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, here's the thing. It's it's like corner

1660
01:25:48,479 --> 01:25:52,760
Speaker 1: when when you made like when Tredavius made it. There

1661
01:25:52,840 --> 01:25:56,120
Speaker 1: may not be a more An All Pro is way

1662
01:25:56,160 --> 01:25:59,439
Speaker 1: more prestigious than the Pro Bowl because you got fans

1663
01:25:59,520 --> 01:26:03,519
Speaker 1: voting on, you know, on the Pro Bowl, and it's

1664
01:26:03,560 --> 01:26:07,960
Speaker 1: it's skewed in that way. But All Pro is guys

1665
01:26:07,960 --> 01:26:12,280
Speaker 1: who watch and study the league and and finger quotes

1666
01:26:12,320 --> 01:26:14,479
Speaker 1: don't have any biases in this. You know, they're they're

1667
01:26:14,520 --> 01:26:16,960
Speaker 1: going for the best gets. It's a real vote by

1668
01:26:17,000 --> 01:26:20,280
Speaker 1: guys who know what they're talking about. At least that's

1669
01:26:20,320 --> 01:26:23,320
Speaker 1: the idea. So pro all pro is tough. And when

1670
01:26:23,439 --> 01:26:25,840
Speaker 1: you get to be an All Pro like Tredavious White

1671
01:26:26,400 --> 01:26:30,120
Speaker 1: at corner in the NFL, you're talking about two guys

1672
01:26:31,720 --> 01:26:34,800
Speaker 1: amongst sixty four of the most elite athletes you'll ever

1673
01:26:34,880 --> 01:26:41,040
Speaker 1: come across. It's it's hard, man, because they're the safe,

1674
01:26:41,160 --> 01:26:44,640
Speaker 1: crowded field up there. Because there's a lot of great players, really.

1675
01:26:44,360 --> 01:26:49,240
Speaker 2: Great safeties for the NFC. Buddha Baker Arizona, Jesse Bates Atlanta,

1676
01:26:49,640 --> 01:26:54,800
Speaker 2: Julian Love Seattle, all good players. Josh Allen incidentally was

1677
01:26:54,880 --> 01:26:59,680
Speaker 2: ranked fourth on the top ten snub list so to

1678
01:27:00,520 --> 01:27:07,000
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes obviously made it from the AFC side. So yeah,

1679
01:27:07,120 --> 01:27:10,559
Speaker 2: it's a, there's only three spots. There's a lot of

1680
01:27:10,560 --> 01:27:11,360
Speaker 2: good quarterbacks.

1681
01:27:11,400 --> 01:27:11,920
Speaker 1: I get it.

1682
01:27:13,120 --> 01:27:15,240
Speaker 2: I just know a lot a lot of Bill's fans

1683
01:27:15,280 --> 01:27:20,439
Speaker 2: on social media. We're pretty hot. But yeah, Tua, Lamar

1684
01:27:20,479 --> 01:27:24,439
Speaker 2: and Patrick so not bad company. Gotta take a break here.

1685
01:27:24,439 --> 01:27:26,439
Speaker 2: Steve and Ida close things up when we return here

1686
01:27:26,439 --> 01:27:28,320
Speaker 2: on One Bill's Live, presented by Colida of Health. It's

1687
01:27:28,320 --> 01:27:46,639
Speaker 2: Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right back here on One Bill's Live,

1688
01:27:46,720 --> 01:27:49,800
Speaker 2: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you, and don't know if

1689
01:27:49,800 --> 01:27:54,679
Speaker 2: you notice this. Steve today would have been coach Don

1690
01:27:54,800 --> 01:28:01,120
Speaker 2: Shula's ninety fourth birthday today. Obviously ill the winningest coach

1691
01:28:01,160 --> 01:28:04,760
Speaker 2: in NFL history, although Bill Belichick is in pursuit. I

1692
01:28:04,800 --> 01:28:09,120
Speaker 2: think he's still thirteen or fourteen wins away from Don Shula.

1693
01:28:09,200 --> 01:28:14,040
Speaker 2: But figured that was worth noting, you know, with this

1694
01:28:14,160 --> 01:28:18,559
Speaker 2: being a Bill's Dolphins game. The other thing was, I

1695
01:28:18,640 --> 01:28:21,080
Speaker 2: do have the alternates for the Bills for the Pro Bowl?

1696
01:28:21,080 --> 01:28:21,559
Speaker 2: Are you ready?

1697
01:28:21,600 --> 01:28:22,200
Speaker 1: Yeah? I'm ready?

1698
01:28:22,240 --> 01:28:25,280
Speaker 2: So we know James Cook and Dion Dawkins made it

1699
01:28:25,280 --> 01:28:29,080
Speaker 2: as starters for the AFC squad. Congrats to them. First

1700
01:28:29,120 --> 01:28:37,000
Speaker 2: alternates Stefan Diggs and Josh Allen. Second alternates Mitch Morse

1701
01:28:37,520 --> 01:28:46,320
Speaker 2: and Leonard Floyd. Third alternates Ed Oliver, Dalton Kincaid, and

1702
01:28:46,360 --> 01:28:50,000
Speaker 2: there's a fifth alternate, Dawson Knox, who missed half the season.

1703
01:28:51,840 --> 01:28:57,680
Speaker 2: But that's kind of the rundown for Buffalo's roster, you know,

1704
01:28:58,479 --> 01:29:03,280
Speaker 2: three actually just two two on the defensive side of

1705
01:29:03,320 --> 01:29:07,400
Speaker 2: the ball, Floyd and Oliver offense the rest of the way,

1706
01:29:07,520 --> 01:29:10,479
Speaker 2: daltonkin Kate third alternate. Not bad for a rookie. Sam

1707
01:29:10,560 --> 01:29:13,519
Speaker 2: Laporta and the other rookie tight end made the starting

1708
01:29:13,520 --> 01:29:16,960
Speaker 2: lineup for the NFC. He's had a monster year for him.

1709
01:29:17,400 --> 01:29:20,920
Speaker 2: He's really lit it up for the Lions this season.

1710
01:29:20,960 --> 01:29:23,360
Speaker 2: He's had a super productive rookie season.

1711
01:29:23,840 --> 01:29:27,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's yeah, congratulations of those guys. I know a

1712
01:29:27,120 --> 01:29:29,080
Speaker 1: lot of guys are kind of disappointed in their heart

1713
01:29:29,080 --> 01:29:30,960
Speaker 1: that they didn't go. Some of them are angry about it,

1714
01:29:31,000 --> 01:29:32,880
Speaker 1: and there's always some of that stuff going around. But

1715
01:29:33,920 --> 01:29:36,600
Speaker 1: used to fuel you come out and play like it,

1716
01:29:36,720 --> 01:29:39,360
Speaker 1: you know, big Friday show to get you ready for

1717
01:29:39,400 --> 01:29:40,400
Speaker 1: the game on Sunday night.

1718
01:29:40,439 --> 01:29:42,400
Speaker 2: Greg Coas will be with us tomorrow. Don't you miss it.

1719
01:29:42,400 --> 01:29:44,440
Speaker 2: We'll see it one
