12
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:49,240
Speaker 1: that kind of lightned our load a little bit. We

13
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,520
Speaker 1: hosted last year, but we kind of rotate a little

14
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 1: bit amongst my wife's siblings. So you have a bunch

15
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 1: of siblings, a bunch of kids running around the house. Yep,

00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,680
Speaker 1: Do you have like ranging in age? Is there ranging

19
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: in age from six to twenty five? So it's a

20
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 1: wide So is it like a big enough house for

21
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: that kind of thing or probably not, but you know,

22
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 1: we may make it work. You know, you get the

23
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: different rooms with different tables, or you either extend the

24
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 1: table from the dining room way out into the living

25
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: table and the kid table. Right and and there are

26
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,119
Speaker 1: people that are coming and going because you know, they've

27
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 1: got other sides of the family and you know, other tasks,

28
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: so they're you know, they're making pit stops. You got

29
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 1: pit stop people, and you got people in for the

30
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 1: long haul. So yeah, the in law balance to struck.

31
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 1: You've got a big group right doing it tonight, our

32
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: kids and there and the little ones are coming over

33
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: to our house tonight. So they were all at their

34
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 1: in laws and their own they're okay. So they did

35
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: all that yesterday and we were it was just me,

36
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: my wife, and our young our youngest who's twenty one.

37
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: The three of us kind of had a leisurely day,

38
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: had little that's kind of unique. You know. We had

39
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: this big converse sation about the holidays, right, because there's

40
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: all kinds of holidays and we've all had good ones,

41
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: you know, rough ones, and let's face the holidays aren't

42
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 1: great for some people. And I understand that. I don't

43
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: want to I don't want to make light of that.

44
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 1: But for us, we had a really good one yesterday,

45
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: just really low key. You know, for us, you can

46
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:19,399
Speaker 1: imagine sometimes it's like, you know, the huddled, the unwashed

47
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 1: masses are at our place, right. I mean, we got

48
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 1: like fifteen thousand people showing up at our joint, right,

49
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: all family members. So yesterday it was just the three

50
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: of us, so we could just it was marked around

51
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: in pajamas. We did great. That's what I would do

52
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: because it was you know, it was no work right

53
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 1: because we were all on autopilot. You know, it's like

54
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: we ate together. We had it. In fact, one of

55
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 1: the co workers, you know, everybody brings in get baked goods.

56
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: So one of the guys here had brought cinnamon rules.

57
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: I don't want to mention his name. Cinnamon rules were great.

58
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: So that was our breakfast yesterday. Heat those up, cinema.

59
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: Then later on we had pancakes and bag and that

60
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: was all. You know, Yeah, eat like a horse on Christmas,

61
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: don't you. Yeah? Man, I have such a pig. Me too.

62
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: I'm a I'm a foodie to begin with, and right,

63
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: portion size is off the grid on Christmas, Thanksgiving, yeah,

64
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 1: you know, there's no just you know, keep on trucking.

65
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: It's kind of my my apro. I had a slice

66
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 1: of blueberry pie, and then I also had a slice

67
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 1: of my wife's cinnamon chocolate chipcake, which is cinnamon chocolate chips.

68
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: She wasn't happy with it, but it was still good

69
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 1: enough for me. Yeah, she said it was only a

70
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 1: six or seven on her ten scale. And when in'to

71
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 1: ten like it's gone in ten minutes. The big goods

72
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: are for everybody, right, and that's what does it to you, right,

73
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: But I was just saying, you know, we had that

74
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: low key thing and then, but it's also good when

75
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: all the kids, all the spouse and all the grand

76
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,839
Speaker 1: at this point of frost, all the grandkids are in town.

77
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: The whole house is busy all the time. You got

78
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: a gear up. You had to save up some energy

79
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: yesterday for today because today's when you get I was

80
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: gonna ask permission to have a little scotch here on

81
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 1: set with a little ready for tonight. You're right, might

82
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: show to you right, just to get us through to

83
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: this afternoon until we get home. Yeah, you got you

84
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 1: gotta low key this boxing day for you though, Right,

85
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: it's unwinding. Yeah, I gotta be honest. Like before I

86
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: moved up here permanently some twenty five years ago from

87
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: Long Island, um, Boxing Day was not even a blip

88
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,919
Speaker 1: on the radar. But I think our proximity to Canada

89
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: here kind of makes it more of a thing. Right,

90
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 1: wouldn't you say that? Because I didn't know Boxing Day

91
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:29,919
Speaker 1: from a hole in the head. I had heard about it,

92
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 1: and but it's still for me, it's I guess it's

93
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 1: a big Canadian and a gigantic English holiday. It's also

94
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: a big deal for the retailers around here because everybody goes,

95
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:42,479
Speaker 1: you know, gift the big thing with a gift returning

96
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: day too, doing that tomorrow. My wife and son around

97
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: doing that today, getting some stuff fixed and getting some

98
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 1: Christmas presents installed kind of thing and right sizes, size

99
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 1: corrections and all of that stuff. Everybody's doing that today.

100
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 1: So everybody's listening to us, probably driving around from store

101
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 1: to store. Right, I want yes? Now, I I meant

102
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 1: to ask you, did you watch any of the AFC

103
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 1: title game? Last we went to the Star Wars movie?

104
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: You did? At Okay, so no, we were You can't

105
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 1: d you couldn't dv are the thing I couldn't figure out.

106
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: Do you know what, Well, the reason I thought of

107
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 1: you was because I completely forgot this part of the game.

108
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 1: Al Edwards gets bell Ron and you came in. You

109
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 1: had to come in for him on offense like the

110
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 1: first time ever, not really the first time. Yeah, So

111
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: that I mean there are things that you kind of

112
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 1: forget over the years. And I think I was only

113
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 1: a sophomore in college when that game was played, But

114
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: that was one thing I had that had completely gone

115
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: out of the memory bank that you had. You had

116
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 1: come in and we ended up leaving where we were

117
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: at halftime, at halftime of the game on as it

118
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: was re racked yesterday on Channel four. I think it

119
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 1: was so but it was cool to watch it. The

120
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,799
Speaker 1: thing and Steve, this is no insult to you watching

121
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: the game, even though your guy's offense went so fast

122
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:05,799
Speaker 1: and we were it was fun because we were keeping

123
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: clock like real time and it was fifteen eighteen seconds.

124
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 1: We were getting a playoff, and it was fast, like

125
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:15,359
Speaker 1: it's even fast by today's standards. Um, but the speed

126
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: of the athletes. Do you think that it's a faster

127
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 1: game now than it was then? Well, what is your

128
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 1: interpretation of that, because we were watching it and I'm

129
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 1: we were talking to people in the room saying, you know,

130
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: thirty years have gone by, there's been a lot of

131
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: technology helping athletes these days as opposed to when you played.

132
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: And I don't know what it is, but it just

133
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: seemed like the game moves faster now. And I don't

134
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 1: know if that's because of the quality of the broadcast.

135
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: We're watching it on no HD. Yeah, you know, maybe

136
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 1: it doesn't appear that way. And I'm not trying to

137
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: say you guys were a bunch of slow polks. No,

138
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 1: we had some real No, we had some some incredible

139
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:58,840
Speaker 1: Here's here's the thing that you can get when we

140
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 1: were when you run place asked during the play after snap,

141
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: it's slower because everybody's gassed, right, that becomes a thing

142
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: and it takes the rads were calling time out. Guys disappear, Yeah,

143
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: the pass rush disappears. And I used to think, ken

144
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: Hole goes listen, we can get one first down to

145
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,679
Speaker 1: get into fourth, fifth play really fast. The defensive lineman

146
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 1: just start leaning on us because this is what you know.

147
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: This was the general consensus in the room watching the

148
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 1: game back, and there were all enough people in the

149
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: room were old enough who saw it the first time

150
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: live and they were saying, man, Jim's got all the

151
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: time in the world back there. That's what's that thing.

152
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: And that's a good point that you bring up, because

153
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: that defense was so gas and they couldn't can't rush,

154
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 1: they couldn't substitute. So those guys were in there. Now

155
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 1: you got eight guys running through there, and that was

156
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 1: it was an important as an important part of every

157
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 1: defense's rotation. But you get the guys out there, and

158
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: that was part of the reason they went fast paced

159
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: because they couldn't substitute and we had matchup. We gave

160
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 1: the matchup problems in our base people either James Lofton

161
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: as an Olympick sprinter, or Andre Reid is a six

162
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:07,119
Speaker 1: one six two hundred and fifteen pound power back running

163
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 1: out of the slot, and then or a speedy guy

164
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 1: like uh well Don was hurt but like Al Edwards

165
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 1: or somebody over on the ouside. Then Thurman, they got

166
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: a Hall of Fame running back and Keith mccup, so

167
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: we had some matchup problems. So whoever they put out there,

168
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 1: we would go and to go fast and Jim would

169
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 1: start to exploit a matchup and they were they were cooked.

170
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: It was funny because one of my wife's cousins, who

171
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 1: was too young to know that game. I think he

172
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: was alive, but he was a kid like two or three.

173
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,199
Speaker 1: He's watching the first drive by the Raiders, which was

174
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: a field goal drive, and he goes, are you guys

175
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 1: telling me this is all the scoring they did for

176
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:41,559
Speaker 1: the rest of the game, because there was like eight

177
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 1: minutes left in the first quarter they played. And I

178
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,719
Speaker 1: was like, good, yeah, that's about it. That was it

179
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,839
Speaker 1: six interceptions later. So we go to the game, we

180
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 1: go to the movie, we get back and we just

181
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: walking in. Just as we walked in the door of

182
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: my wife was, oh my gosh, we didn't ring. Ah,

183
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: she starts losing. And it was nice too because they

184
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 1: got rid of the commercial breaks, the breaks in the action,

185
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 1: you know, between a kick return and the start of

186
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: a series. They cut all of that out, so they

187
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: really kind of streamlined the game, which made it even better.

188
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 1: Walsh was the announcer and Dickberg yeah back in the day. Yeah,

189
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 1: but and it was crazy. Both of those guys are gone,

190
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,079
Speaker 1: and there were some there were some guys on our sideline.

191
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 1: That Ken Hole was on our sidelines, Mitch Frods on

192
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 1: our sidelines, both those guys in the past. There was

193
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 1: you know, Bruce de Haven was on the sidelines. He

194
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 1: passed Elijah Pitts Ralph Elijah Pitts um. So it's been

195
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: a long time. It's been a long time. But yeah,

196
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: that was you're right, and I hadn't thought about that.

197
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 1: And you're when you look at that game and you

198
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: see late in the how we go fast, we go fast.

199
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 1: Everybody didn't run a little slower because man, oh man, yeah,

200
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: you know, a seven player eight played nine. I'm just like, man,

201
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: you're just to watch these guys Like I cut that

202
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 1: forty six yard passed down the near sideline, which the

203
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: only past maybe the second pass I caught of the year,

204
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 1: and I had to I was like, dude, I was

205
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: like waving to get me out. I'm done. I played

206
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:08,079
Speaker 1: like three plays. Yeah, you know, And it's a weird phenomenon.

207
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 1: Most players will tell you it's it's what happened. It's

208
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 1: it's the truth. If you if you're standing over there

209
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 1: and you don't play much, you get in there and

210
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 1: the adrenaline starts pumping, you get gassed, like right now,

211
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 1: you run one play and you're just absolutely gassed. And

212
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 1: I was it's the same thing when you play soccer,

213
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: believe it or not. The first four or five minutes

214
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 1: there is a long adjustment, yeah, where you're like, oh

215
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: my god, how am I tired already? After four or

216
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 1: five minutes, But you just have to kind of push

217
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 1: through it, and then after that you're fine. Now, it's

218
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 1: so much different than football because football is played in

219
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: like six and seven second increments, right, zero percent? Yeah,

220
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,199
Speaker 1: And if hens down to zero percent between the plays,

221
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 1: if you only go to eighty percent, you're running back

222
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 1: to the huddle because you're adrenaline is pumping. Then you

223
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 1: run back out to get lined up. Then you run

224
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: your round and run back. You know, all of a sudden,

225
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:04,559
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, you're two guys doing more running anybody, right,

226
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 1: But yeah, no, I'm glad you you expertly explain that,

227
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 1: because I'm like, man, Jim has a ton of time

228
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: back there. There is zero pass rushing here. That's because

229
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,199
Speaker 1: those guys are completely worn out already. Yeah, And that

230
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,679
Speaker 1: and that's why some teams don't want to do it,

231
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 1: because there is a risk if you don't get a

232
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 1: first down and get five plays in or six plays in,

233
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: or if you get a first down on first down

234
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 1: and then go one, two, three and out, you're you're

235
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 1: out there for you know, sixty seconds off the clock

236
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: of the game, you know, right. And it's not just that,

237
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 1: there's a there's a cumulative effect to that too. If

238
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,439
Speaker 1: you get one or two scoring drives at that pace,

239
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: that defense isn't the same the rest of the game though.

240
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: Forget about just those series, right, It changes a lot

241
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 1: of things. And it's and we were good enough, you know,

242
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:54,559
Speaker 1: really to stay on the field. But it is a risk,

243
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 1: there's no question about it, because you risk coming off

244
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 1: the field, you know, and you risk sitting down. And

245
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 1: our defense one year, I don't know whether it was

246
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 1: that year or one of the Super Bowl years, they

247
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 1: defended more plays than any defense in the league because

248
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: we moved it so fast and we scored fast. And

249
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 1: I think it's probably the next year ninety ninety one

250
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: regular season headed into the ninety two Super Bowl super

251
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,199
Speaker 1: Bowl twenty six that I think our defense saw more

252
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,199
Speaker 1: plays than any team in the league, but we were

253
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 1: scored we scored four hundred and ninety points that year.

254
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 1: I mean we were off the charts. Yeah. Well, yeah,

255
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:28,719
Speaker 1: you guys were a machine that Yeah, that's when it was.

256
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 1: It was ridiculous. But you mentioned, you know some people

257
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 1: that were in that game or around that game, you

258
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 1: know that are no longer with us. We have other

259
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,839
Speaker 1: sad news to pass along too, So from the Bills family,

260
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 1: and I'll say they'll just read this. Fifty years ago

Speaker 1: anniversary of that day, one of the players that played

267

Speaker 1: in that game, Albert Golden Wheels Debinion, passed this morning

268
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 1: at eighty six. Yeah. Dubie was drafted by the Cleveland

269
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: Browns in the fourteenth round of the nineteen fifty nine draft.

270
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: He was released by the Browns and signed with Buffalo.

271
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 1: Went on to have a stellar nine year career in

272
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 1: the AFL. He was a three time All AFL selection.

273
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 1: A two time AFL champion, and of course he's a

274
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 1: Bill's Wall of Fame member. He was known for his

275
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 1: long ball abilities. He always will and will forever hold

276
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 1: the distinction of catching the longest pass in AFL playoff history.

277
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 1: Albert Debinion has passed away this morning at age eighty seven.

278
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 1: He had he because I was just writing the o

279
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: bit up this morning for Buffalo bills dot com. So

280
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: if people want to kind of read up more on this,

281
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: if you're a younger fan and maybe you don't know

282
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: about him or are familiar with him, do yourself a favor.

283
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 1: Read the obit at Buffalo Bills dot com. This is

284
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 1: a guy that was one of the reasons the AFL

285
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 1: was as entertaining as it was. You know, the NFL

286
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: at that time was three yards in a cloud of dust,

287
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 1: and AFL said, if we're gonna steal viewers away from

288
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: NFL from the NFL, we're gonna chuck this ball all

289
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 1: over the field. Now they ran the football. Also, Cookie

290
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 1: Gilchrist was essential part of this team in nineteen sixty

291
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:15,680
Speaker 1: four that won the title. But they also threw it deep,

292
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 1: and the guy they threw it to was Dubinion. He

293
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 1: still has the franchise record for receiving average. He had

294
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 1: eleven hundred and thirty nine receiving yards, seven forty two receptions,

295
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: twenty seven point one yards per catch over forty two receptions,

296
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 1: and ten touchdowns of the forty two. I mean, nobody's

297
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 1: nobody's touching that. Yeah, and that one team his phenomenal

298
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 1: years his second year in the league, that was his

299
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 1: career year. Yeah. And I'll tell you this the story

300
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 1: I met him, and I'll give myself a little credit.

301
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 1: My wife and I were traveling. We're down in the

302
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 1: Atlanta Airport. You've been through it, right, Yeah, with the

303
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 1: train that goes from Terminal Termus. I get on the

304
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: train and there's a guy standing there with an Atlanta

305
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 1: Falcon duffel bag was obviously the scout and I and

306
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 1: it was Albert Opinion, and I said he was in

307
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 1: scouting even with the bills for a time exactly. So

308
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 1: I I said hello to him and I called him

309
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 1: Golden Wheels. He kind of laughed, he goes, he goes,

310
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 1: you must he goes, because I he goes, I know

311
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 1: you're from Buffalo. He goes, you know. He kind of

312
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 1: laughed that I knew who he was, and I introduced

313
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 1: myself and he knew who I was because he was

314
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 1: an NFL scout. Yeah, I said hello to him. We

315
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 1: had a nice little conversation. Yeah. Unfortunately for him and

316
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 1: for his family, he had been battling Parkinson's and Alzheimer's

317
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 1: for several years. And that's those are just two very

318
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: cruel diseases. There aren't any good ones, but those are

319
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 1: especially cruel and and probably almost harder on the family sometimes. Yeah,

320
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 1: um than the people themselves. Not that the people themselves

321
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 1: aren't dealing with a lot too. They get frustrated as

322
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 1: well because of what the effects of those two diseases are.

323
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 1: But um so where you're past that, but very you know,

324
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 1: you never want to lose anybody from the Bill's family.

325
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 1: But how poetic that, you know, he passes on the

326
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 1: day that he and his teammates won the nineteen sixty

327
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 1: four AFL championship. You know, you always think that, you know,

328
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 1: there's always there's always a reason for why things happen,

329
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 1: and you kind of wonder, um, you know, day after

330
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 1: Christmas AFL title, career year, career year for him, led

331
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 1: that team in scoring, I mean, he had more points

332
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 1: scored than Cookie Gilchrist, who did just about everything for

333
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 1: that football team that he kicked off, for God's sakes.

334
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 1: So just uh, and you know you talked to the

335
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: guys on those teams, you know, you talked to Booker

336
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 1: and other guys. Elbert was a revered player, a revered talent.

337
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 1: Came into the league at a later age. He was

338
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: twenty six sixteen out of Bluffton College in Ohio and

339
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 1: fourteenth round draft pick of the Cleveland Browns. Didn't make

340
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 1: a run, Yeah, and he was, he was He typified

341
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 1: what the what the NFL and AFL were going through

342
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 1: at that time. The NFL was kind of sticking with

343
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 1: teams like guys from like Notre Dame and USC and

344
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 1: Alabama and the big kind of big time conference schools,

345
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:08,880
Speaker 1: and the AFL went down to schools like Bluffton and

346
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,439
Speaker 1: you know, historical players and historically black colleges where they

347
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: would they would recruit out of there and they would

348
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:17,439
Speaker 1: get guys out of there and find good players that

349
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 1: the NFL would would not have. And Cookie gil Chris

350
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 1: all these guys. Now, Albert was drafted by the Cleveland Browns,

351
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 1: but he didn't make it, yeah, because he wasn't a

352
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:27,399
Speaker 1: highly touted process, and that was a hard team to

353
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 1: make the right that they were winning championships every other year.

354
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 1: Auto Graham was still there probably at that time, and that's,

355
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:36,639
Speaker 1: you know, part of the deal. So so we got drafted,

356
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 1: got released by the Browns. They ended up here in Buffalo,

357
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 1: played nine years here. At later in life, I think

358
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:43,199
Speaker 1: he was like a twenty six, twenty seven year old

359
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:48,880
Speaker 1: rookie and uh, that's great and uh sad to pass

360
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 1: along the news of his passing this morning at age

361
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:54,959
Speaker 1: eighty six. But Albert Debinion Wall of Fame member here

362
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:56,880
Speaker 1: for the Buffalo Bills went on the Wall of Fame

363
00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 1: in ninety five. I want to say, yeah, yeah, that

364
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,959
Speaker 1: was Yeah, it was quite a team. That was a

365
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:07,120
Speaker 1: team that, as you can imagine, twenty five years after

366
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 1: it was almost the identical stretch of time between the

367
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:14,440
Speaker 1: nineties era and that sixty five team, twenty five year

368
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 1: kind of period. And so we got to know kind

369
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 1: of all those guys and the Paul mcguires and al

370
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:24,679
Speaker 1: B Miller's, all the old guys, Mike Stratton and all that,

371
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,399
Speaker 1: and Mike Stratton. This was the day that Mike Stratton

372
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:30,679
Speaker 1: had made the hit Keith Lincoln that was today in

373
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 1: this game, in the rock pile down on Buffalo. So

374
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:35,159
Speaker 1: all that stuff coming together, kind of a mix of

375
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 1: memories here at this holiday time and Steve Task along

00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 1: put out on the Twitter and it's out already and

381
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 1: we're getting some feedback about it, and it's it's an

382
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 1: open ended question. There's no poll today. This is just

383
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 1: a question. If you want to answer it, please do.

384
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 1: You can tweet at us or call us and well

385
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 1: we can put you on the air. We've got phone

386
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 1: lines open. And the question is this, what question do

387
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:08,639
Speaker 1: you want answer? Does the Bills head into the playoffs?

388
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,440
Speaker 1: What question do you want answered? As the Bills head

389
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 1: into the playoffs. There's a lot going on this week

390
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:17,880
Speaker 1: because of this week seventeen thing. Thurman has come out

391
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,120
Speaker 1: with a plan and I agree with it. I think

392
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 1: Thurmant I give Thermant credit. I think it's a great idea.

393
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,399
Speaker 1: If you're on the orchestrator. Nobody's if you get, if

394
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 1: you get these games like this one for the Bills

395
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,160
Speaker 1: and for some of these other teams, that it will

396
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,159
Speaker 1: not affect their ability to get into or out of

397
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 1: the playoffs, or the team you're playing doesn't have any

398
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 1: effect on their ability to get into or out of

399
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 1: the playoffs, like the Bills Jets this week, and the

400
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,479
Speaker 1: Bills are in, they're locked at five. Jets are out

401
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:47,879
Speaker 1: and they're not going anywhere. Should there be a place

402
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 1: where you your practice squad players you can elevate them

403
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 1: onto the active roster, play them all, deactivate some guys

404
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,639
Speaker 1: without having to cut and do all. You know what

405
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 1: I mean. Just give these guys a chance to play

406
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:03,400
Speaker 1: who've been on the practice squad all year. Uh I

407
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 1: give him a roster spot of like what ten guys

408
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 1: give the ten guys on the practice squad. If you

409
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:09,879
Speaker 1: want to elevate any of them, play them, go ahead

410
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 1: and do it. No roster just for this one game,

411
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 1: um and let it be done. And are we saying

412
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 1: only in games that don't have an impact on the season,

413
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,959
Speaker 1: either team, either team, both teams and the game. Teams

414
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 1: have to have no skin in the game. That's right.

415
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 1: It had to be a game like Bills Jets, and

416
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 1: that can't be a game like say, for instance, if

417
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, who could move up or down the pecking

418
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 1: order of place, were playing Yeah, or playing the Arizona Cardinals,

419
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:41,119
Speaker 1: who are out of it. The Cardinals couldn't do it

420
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 1: and the Chiefs couldn't do it, okay, or maybe maybe

421
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:45,879
Speaker 1: the maybe it would hate that maybe the bad teams

422
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 1: could do it. Yeah, well I would know what I mean.

423
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:50,640
Speaker 1: I would think some of the bad teams would want

424
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 1: to do it. Quite frankly, there'd be a motivation there

425
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 1: exactly because as you get to the end of your

426
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: regular teams do it right, they gotta go with the

427
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 1: same guys. Yeah, yeah, two teams that don't have something invested. No, no,

428
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 1: I do because you know, there's been a lot of

429
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:09,360
Speaker 1: believe me, there's been a lot of lean years here,

430
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 1: and there were times where previous coaching regimes would promote

431
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,679
Speaker 1: a guy or two from the practice squad in the

432
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,639
Speaker 1: final week or two. I are a guy who's had

433
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,120
Speaker 1: a nagging injury for three or four weeks, I are

434
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 1: him call up a kid that's been you know, busting

435
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 1: his tail on the practice squad to get a longer

436
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 1: look at him against bona fide NFL competition in a

437
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 1: regular season setting, to get a better feel for the

438
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 1: kid and what he can do. And very often that

439
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 1: would sometimes convince, you know, the Bills or whoever might

440
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,719
Speaker 1: be involved in that kind of a practice, you know what,

441
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 1: we are going to sign this kid to a reserve

442
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 1: future free agent contract to bring him back in January

443
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 1: and have him here on the roster for all of

444
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 1: the next off season. So a lot of times that

445
00:21:56,359 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 1: can make a difference in an evaluation. They've had the

446
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 1: kid around all year, but he's running, you know, plays

447
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 1: off cards and all week and all season and hasn't

448
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 1: really had the reps in our offense. How well does

449
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,400
Speaker 1: he know our offense? How well they got a kid

450
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,639
Speaker 1: like Nick Beasley on their roster and the practice squad,

451
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 1: a wide receiver Nick Easily, Nick Easily, Nick Easy, Nick Easley. Yeah,

452
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 1: and you know I like him too. He's a good player, right,

453
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 1: kind of a cold Beasley type, which is why you're

454
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:24,880
Speaker 1: just trying to find a way to find to get

455
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,200
Speaker 1: on the roster. And now he's behind all these other guys,

456
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 1: Robert Fosters and Day Roberts of the world and the

457
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 1: Duke Williams of the world. Um, Duke Williams is a

458
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:35,919
Speaker 1: guy who's perfect for this. You know you've been with

459
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:39,920
Speaker 1: people have been clamoring to see him play. Tommy Sweeney, Uh,

460
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:43,440
Speaker 1: guys like that, TJ. Yelden and Sonoras Perry, all the

461
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 1: running backs. You could sit you know, those guys down.

462
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 1: But those guys are on the active roster, so they

463
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 1: you know, this is nothing from them. The question is

464
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 1: what about the guys on the practice squad? And you

465
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 1: have to all right, I'll have that. I kind of

466
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 1: like that. We'll get him in here and let him

467
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 1: do a show and then we're gonna We're gonna be

468
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,440
Speaker 1: here till three o'clock. Steve Task on, Chris Brown on

469
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:06,880
Speaker 1: One Bills Live. Let's take are we got a guy

470
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:10,199
Speaker 1: on here who's been he called in he's been holding

471
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 1: for twenty minutes now, Zaire from Buffalo, and he's got

472
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 1: something that's bugging him about Sean McDermott not going forward

473
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 1: on fourth down against the Patriots. Zire's last week. We're

474
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:24,119
Speaker 1: still I know, Zire. My advice is to let it go,

475
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 1: but go ahead. What's on your mind, how are you

476
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 1: doing that? Actually wasn't why I called. I actually was

477
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,159
Speaker 1: called because I'm looking for I was been looking at

478
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 1: this season. I was coming to a close and just

479
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 1: looking at this offense, and I think that this offense

480
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 1: is just a Josh Allen off season away from being

481
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:46,679
Speaker 1: very prolistic. And I think that in free agency, we

482
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 1: need to go and definitely grab a Marie Cooper from

483
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,680
Speaker 1: out of Dallas, because that is a sinking ship and

484
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,680
Speaker 1: weed to bring him over here, and this offense would

485
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 1: be other worldly of Maria. Think. Yeah, that's That's one

486
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 1: of the main themes that we've been hearing from a

487
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:03,639
Speaker 1: lot of people. Everybody thinks they need a big time,

488
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:07,439
Speaker 1: big size, good sized wide receiver, quality wide receiver. And

489
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 1: I hear it. They've got the money to spend in

490
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:11,639
Speaker 1: the free agent market, no question about it. They'll probably

491
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:13,919
Speaker 1: make an effort to get better there. They'll probably make

492
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,120
Speaker 1: an effort to bolster their offensive line some more. They're

493
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 1: gonna have to address their defensive line. They got some

494
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 1: guys whose contracts are gonna be up. Lorenzo Alexander, they're

495
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 1: gonna bring him back or not. They've got that gap

496
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 1: to fill. He's a starter and he's a special team stud.

497
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 1: I mean, he's got he makes big contributions. I wouldn't

498
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 1: be surprised if they try and talk him into stay

499
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 1: in for in a lesser role. We'll see. But guys

500
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:38,879
Speaker 1: like that you got to figure out. But they got

501
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,719
Speaker 1: money to do it. There's no question the wide receivers

502
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 1: probably on their list of places where they want to upgrade.

503
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 1: But by the same token, I agree with you a

504
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,879
Speaker 1: lot of it's about Josh and his offseason, what happens.

505
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 1: He's gone from fifty three or fifty two percent completion

506
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:56,959
Speaker 1: rate up to about a fifty eight or something. I

507
00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 1: think I would look for him to make an cremental

508
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 1: jump like that again this next year. And if you

509
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,119
Speaker 1: watch film, a lot of it has to do with

510
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 1: coming off one receiver and going to one who's open,

511
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 1: getting off his primary, getting off his primary he's making

512
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 1: He's to make better decisions. That's one of the things

513
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 1: we had Brownie coming into this year. It's not just

514
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 1: about his accuracy of his arm. It's about decision making

515
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 1: and take umpteen number of times he thinks it's a

516
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,880
Speaker 1: decision making thing also, and he's made strides in that area.

517
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any question. And you know, Brian

518
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 1: Dable and Ken Dorsey deserve a lot of credit for

519
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 1: helping to mold Josh's Josh's short to intermediate game as

520
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 1: far as passing goes this season, and I think, yeah,

521
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:48,879
Speaker 1: now the next step is internal clock so we can

522
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:52,160
Speaker 1: avoid more sacks and internal clock so he can go

523
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 1: from one to two to three through his progressions in

524
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 1: a time in a more timely fashion, on a more

525
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 1: consistent basis. There are times when he reads the play beautifully,

526
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:04,439
Speaker 1: gets all the way through his progressions and makes the

527
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:08,120
Speaker 1: right decision either a extend the play and find somebody

528
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 1: or be you know, a BBC come back, make the throw.

529
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 1: I just think he has to do that with more consistency,

530
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:17,879
Speaker 1: and I think that quite frankly, just comes with repetition

531
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:21,160
Speaker 1: and experience, and hopefully that proves to be the case.

532
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,119
Speaker 1: Is it's going to happen next year? I think with

533
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 1: the path that he's currently on, I'm encouraged that he can.

534
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 1: But as we all know the proofs in the pudding,

535
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 1: it's got to happen. Well, it takes reps and more practice.

536
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you this too, with a huge part

537
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 1: about it for me is the fact that he's in

538
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 1: the same offense and he's gotten down that right. He's

539
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:45,639
Speaker 1: getting Continuity's highly underrated. So what thanks for the calls.

540
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 1: They appreciate it. What's what's the question do you want answer?

541
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 1: Does the Bills head into the playoff? What question do

542
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 1: you want answered? As the Bills head into the playoffs?

00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 1: for a minute, So got that coming up on the show.

557
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 1: We've also got a question out there, what question do

558
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 1: you want to answer? Does the bill's head into the playoffs?

559
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:50,399
Speaker 1: You can call us or tweet at us and Brownie,

560
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 1: what do you think? Is there anything that you want

561
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:54,639
Speaker 1: to that comes to your mind at the top of

562
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 1: the list for me, yeah, it's it's basically offensive consistency.

563
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 1: Can they can they string together enough possessions and series

564
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 1: where maybe they're not necessarily putting up Juggernaut type points,

565
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 1: but at least given their defense a break handling time

566
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,919
Speaker 1: of possession, being on the field long enough to at

567
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 1: least flip the field to give a long field to

568
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:20,400
Speaker 1: the opponent. You can't have the three and outs that

569
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:25,440
Speaker 1: have seemed to plague them for certain stretches of games

570
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:27,919
Speaker 1: of late. You know, last week, you know against the

571
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 1: Patriots is a perfect example. And you look at their

572
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 1: statistics for the season, and these are the troubling numbers

573
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:37,359
Speaker 1: over the course of the year. Okay, so three and

574
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 1: out drives. This is the percentage of three and outs

575
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 1: a little over twenty three percent of the time they

576
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 1: go three and out. That ranks twenty third in the league.

577
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 1: It's got to be better than that drive scoring efficiency.

578
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 1: You know how many drives do you score on percentage wise?

579
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 1: For the Bills, it's a little over thirty one percent.

580
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 1: That ranks twenty fourth in the league. That's got to

581
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 1: be better. In the playoffs, you look at success in

582
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 1: the red zone. You know, they're thirtieth in the league

583
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:10,960
Speaker 1: in play success percentage in the red zone, which and

584
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 1: success is described as a play that gets your four

585
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 1: yards or more. That's harder down there. So I don't

586
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 1: know if I totally buy into that stat but even

587
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 1: yards after the catch, Steve, they've got a little under

588
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 1: fourteen hundred yards after the catch on the season, that

589
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 1: ranks thirty first in the league. You've got to get

590
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 1: more of those yards after the catch. And that's also

591
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 1: that's also ball location, because if the ball's not in

592
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 1: the right place, you jeopardize your receiver's opportunity for yards

593
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 1: after the catch. Has got to slow down reach back

594
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 1: for the ball, defense gets to close, and now you're

595
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 1: getting few yards after the catch and scoring plays of

596
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 1: twenty yards or more. They got one last week with

597
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 1: John Brown. They have three all season. And so these

598
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: are areas where you want to see them, maybe not

599
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 1: do better in all of those categories, but some of

600
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 1: those have to have somewhat of an UPTI if you're

601
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 1: going to see this team stay on the field longer

602
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 1: on offense, and you say, well, that's all well and

603
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 1: good to want those things, but they're also going to

604
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 1: be playing against better defenses in the playoffs. What encourages this, Yeah,

605
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 1: what encourages me is the caliber of defense they've gone

606
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 1: against the over the last month. And the Jets are

607
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 1: not going to be any exception. They're number two in

608
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 1: the league run defense. It's all going to have them,

609
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 1: hopefully battle tested for the postseason. The offense I'm talking about,

610
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 1: so hopefully going against strong defenses over this last month

611
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 1: and the regular season has them primed to face those

612
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 1: kinds of defenses when they get to the postseason. All

613
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 1: the Bills have faced the New England Patriots, the Baltimore Ravens,

614
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 1: and the Pittsburgh Steelers. They are three of the top

615
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 1: four defenses in the National Football League. We just ran

616
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 1: that gauntlet. The Bills are the second best. So all

617
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 1: four of the AFC except for the Steelers not getting

618
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 1: in or maybe they still have a chance of chance. Right,

619
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:56,479
Speaker 1: So the Patriots are number one, the Bills are number two,

620
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 1: the Ravens are number three, Steelers are number four, then

621
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 1: the chief are number seven, and they've played really well

622
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 1: they've gotten over the last month. I think I saw

623
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 1: a statistic over the last month, the Chiefs defense is

624
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 1: allowing less than ten points per game. Now, I didn't

625
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 1: take the time to look at all the teams that

626
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 1: they've played to know if they're playing high caliber offenses

627
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 1: or not. But I don't care who you're playing in

628
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 1: the NFL. If you can hold four straight opponents to

629
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 1: under ten points per game, you're doing something right. And

630
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 1: I think that that defense has finally hit its stride

631
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 1: and maybe not caught up to the Chiefs offense, but

632
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 1: has certainly made them a more complete team. How many

633
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 1: games the last four, right, Yeah, it was Raiders, the Patriots,

634
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 1: the Broncos, and the Bears. Yeah, they held the Patriots

635
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 1: to sixteen and everybody else pretty much got held to

636
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 1: single digits, right, right, So I get and so that, yeah,

637
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,240
Speaker 1: the and those you get back to those defenses and

638
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 1: the rankings and the stats you go all the way

639
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 1: down to you get the Kanzas City Chiefs at seven

640
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 1: and then you go down the Titans or thirteen. But

641
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 1: right now, what the bill were looking at are the

642
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 1: Houston Texans. They're one of the weakest eight defenses out there,

643
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 1: and so if you had your druthers, you'd probably want

644
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 1: them right now, it's over Kansas City. If you're looking

645
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 1: at just paper, you know, and everything changes, all right,

646
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 1: JJ Watts back in their lineup now that that'll change

647
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 1: for them the things for the positive. But by the

648
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 1: same time, that seems like a better matchup for the Bills.

649
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 1: I would agree. And we were having this big discussion

650
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:26,480
Speaker 1: Jay Harris and I before the show about is the

651
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:30,960
Speaker 1: road really a bad thing? Going on the road? Well,

652
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 1: I mean, the Bills have been a good road team

653
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 1: this season, so has everybody, especially the playoff team, right

654
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 1: with because of the defenses. Yes, I would agree with that. Yeah,

655
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 1: probably are seven and one on the road. The Patriots

656
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 1: are six and two, the Chiefs are seven and one,

657
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 1: the Bills are six and two, and then you've got

658
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 1: the Texans and Titans who are fighting it out. The

659
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 1: Titans are four and three and the Texans are five

660
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 1: and three. Yeah, still all winning road teams, and that

661
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 1: is impressive. I wonder how many times that's happened. I

662
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:00,239
Speaker 1: don't know, you don't going to the postseason, and I

663
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 1: and you know you mentioned, we mentioned how you got

664
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 1: to win a lot of games. We mentioned how the

665
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 1: Steelers still have a chance to back their way in. Uh,

666
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 1: the NFL scheduled people did not help them out though.

667
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:18,239
Speaker 1: They left the Chiefs game at one o'clock and the

668
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 1: Texans are playing at four o'clock. So Bill O'Brien, the

669
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 1: head coach of the Texans, says, we're playing our starters.

670
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 1: But are you telling me that if the Chiefs win

671
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 1: and the Titans know they can't improve their playoffs, or

672
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 1: the Texans know they can't improve their playoff position, that

673
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 1: they're gonna leave all their starters out there right. I

674
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 1: don't know. DeAndre Hopkins is not playing the whole game.

675
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 1: If they write and the Steelers need the Texans to

676
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 1: beat the Titans to get into playoffs, they're not doing

677
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 1: the Steelers any favors. The Steelers need that game, Yeah,

678
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:55,719
Speaker 1: that's they need that game. That's kind of a rough one.

679
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 1: They've got it, but they've got a team they're they're

680
00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 1: depending on to win. That doesn't really Yeah, bad spot.

681
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:02,240
Speaker 1: To be in. Yeah, that's tough, but yeah, you know,

682
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 1: you made your own bed. Now you gotta lie in it. Yeah,

683
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 1: that's your championship. You gotta go win it. And then

684
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 1: you know it's a division. It's like the NFC East

685
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 1: a little bit. You get into a dog fight with

686
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:13,240
Speaker 1: two teams who try to hand it to each other. Yeah,

687
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 1: who wants it less? Right exactly? Now, the Texans did

688
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:17,880
Speaker 1: beat the Titans two weeks ago, and it was a

689
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,239
Speaker 1: drag at that. It was a barn and I would

690
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 1: expect the same this week between those two teams. It's

691
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:25,399
Speaker 1: kind of a fascinating end to the season for those

692
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 1: two clubs. Obviously, the Texans have less to play for

693
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 1: because they're already in. They're just talking about the difference

694
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:34,440
Speaker 1: between the four or the three seed in terms of

695
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 1: the division winner seedings in the AFC, Well, it's a

696
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:40,239
Speaker 1: home game. Yeah, Titans have a lot more to play for.

697
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:42,680
Speaker 1: They're playing for their life. So is it right? Four

698
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:44,319
Speaker 1: in the three seeds a home game anyway, They just

699
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:46,839
Speaker 1: don't get a buy So it depends on who they're

700
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 1: going to play, right, Well, No, the three and the

701
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:52,719
Speaker 1: four play the wild card teams. It's just playing. They're

702
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 1: both at home. Know whether if they're the three or

703
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 1: the four, they're both eat their game is going to

704
00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 1: home game, right, So that's yeah, So that's like, you

705
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 1: know what you mean, who do you like better? You know,

706
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:03,880
Speaker 1: do you want the Bills or do you want to

707
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:09,840
Speaker 1: tighten Slash Steelers? It's the Slash Raiders at the Raiders

708
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 1: can somehow still crawl in if five more things happened.

709
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 1: The Raiders needed ten things to happen over the final

710
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 1: two weeks. Five of them have taken place already, which

711
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:22,799
Speaker 1: is crazy. Hey, it's not crazy, but they do need

712
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 1: I think you do need both the teams in every

713
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:28,799
Speaker 1: game to play like they've played so far this year.

714
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:30,400
Speaker 1: You can't have a team taken a day off and

715
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 1: have it go the way you think it's gonna go right,

716
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:36,600
Speaker 1: which may fly, which may be the fly in the

717
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:38,759
Speaker 1: ointment of Thurman's argument, which we'll get into a one

718
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 1: o'clock But why don't we take some calls? All right,

719
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 1: let's go, let's let's take a call from Ralph in

720
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:47,799
Speaker 1: Long Island. He wants to talk about. I don't know, Ralph,

721
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 1: what do you want to talk about? From Long On?

722
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:51,799
Speaker 1: He was Stephen Brownie, what's going on? How are you

723
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 1: yet happy holidays? I actually wanted to talk about the

724
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 1: Path game real quick. I know it's long gone and

725
00:35:57,200 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter too much at this point, but there

726
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 1: was a leave. It was seventeen thirteen. There was fourth

727
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 1: in one. Granted it was in our own territory. I

728
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 1: think it was like, maybe you're on the thirty five,

729
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 1: But I wish I had written it down, but I didn't.

730
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:12,840
Speaker 1: It was their own half of the field. I remember it. Yeah,

731
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 1: it was a little risky, no doubt if they would

732
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:16,360
Speaker 1: have went for it, but I just felt like we

733
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 1: had such momentum at that point, and with a team

734
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 1: like that. The reason why I bring it up is

735
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 1: because you kind of have to be aggressive going into

736
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:25,839
Speaker 1: the playoffs, as you guys noted, did you think there's

737
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 1: a shot of going for it at that point? Brown

738
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 1: one half of the field with a lot of game left. Man,

739
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:34,960
Speaker 1: I don't know. Not to mention the way the Patriots

740
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 1: had been running the ball at that point in time,

741
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 1: I mean they had been pretty effective running it, and man,

742
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 1: your own half of the field, your defense has already

743
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 1: got their plate full. I don't know if you want

744
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:48,799
Speaker 1: to hand them a short field on top of it.

745
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 1: Plus the other thing to remember here too was through

746
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 1: the first thirty minutes of the game, Buffalo's defense had

747
00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:59,000
Speaker 1: been on the field for twenty one of those minutes.

748
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 1: So now here's an you can have either way. You

749
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:03,759
Speaker 1: can say, well, yeah, that's why they should have gone

750
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 1: for it, to try to keep their offense on the field.

751
00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:10,080
Speaker 1: But the other side of it is, if we don't

752
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:12,920
Speaker 1: get it here, they're gassed and they're defending thirty five yards,

753
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:18,280
Speaker 1: we're giving them points and we're up four. So, knowing

754
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:22,520
Speaker 1: how coach McDermott thinks, up four, he would prefer to

755
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 1: give his defense a long field rather than a short one,

756
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:27,879
Speaker 1: especially when you have the lead, which they had at

757
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:30,440
Speaker 1: that time, and they had it even after they punted

758
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 1: it away because I think the pagers came down and

759
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 1: they held them to a field goal and it was

760
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:36,880
Speaker 1: seventeen sixteen after that, if memory serves, and I'll tell

761
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 1: you this too, Ralph, that you know they had a

762
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:42,400
Speaker 1: conversation about it. That's the one thing that you have

763
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:44,919
Speaker 1: to know about this coaching staff. They'll talk about it. Yeah,

764
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 1: Coach McDermott does not ignore the end, does not ignore

765
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,399
Speaker 1: them at all. He's got a guy crunching numbers live

766
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 1: during the game to help them out with those decisions.

767
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:59,400
Speaker 1: And so when probability I'm sure was calculated at that

768
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 1: very moment. You know, what's our win probability if we

769
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:04,880
Speaker 1: get this first down? Is what's our win probability if

770
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 1: we don't? And I will I will almost guarantee you

771
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:12,120
Speaker 1: those things were weighed out in real time as that

772
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:14,800
Speaker 1: decision was made. All right, thanks for the call, Ralph, appreciate.

773
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:17,960
Speaker 1: Let's go to Gary in Wheatfield. Gary, you're on with

774
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:24,759
Speaker 1: Stephen Brown and go ahead, Gary. Gary's not there anymore. Gary.

775
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:28,160
Speaker 1: I hope I didn't cut him off. I heard somebody there.

776
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:31,520
Speaker 1: I'm here. How are you okay? Good? Good? Hope y'all

777
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 1: had a good Christmas and got everything you needed. Hey, Um,

778
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:37,480
Speaker 1: I don't want to really change the subject. Well, first

779
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:39,480
Speaker 1: of all, the Bills need an identity on offense. I

780
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:41,880
Speaker 1: think that's the biggest thing. They need to create an identity,

781
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:44,359
Speaker 1: you know, running, passing, whatever they're gonna do. They really

782
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:46,880
Speaker 1: kind of have a mixed bag. But the question I

783
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 1: had for you is this kickoff thing. Now, I don't

784
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:52,359
Speaker 1: know if it's an easy answer or what. But the

785
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:54,640
Speaker 1: National Football League seems to want to make things always

786
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:56,960
Speaker 1: very complicated. Well, I don't think they need to be.

787
00:38:57,600 --> 00:38:59,600
Speaker 1: Why doesn't the home team just have a choice and

788
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:04,480
Speaker 1: no coin toss. You've the home team the choice, no

789
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 1: coin toss. Yeah, because everybody would be even. It would

790
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:14,279
Speaker 1: be eight and eight, right, Yeah, yeah, I don't know

791
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 1: how I feel about that. I mean argue. I mean,

792
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:19,319
Speaker 1: it's nothing but tradition. I mean, yeah, make a rule.

793
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:21,040
Speaker 1: They could do whatever they want. It would be fair

794
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:25,359
Speaker 1: and it both teams. Yeah, you're right, I think, uh yeah,

795
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 1: right now, there's only one reason they do it. It's tradition. Yeah,

796
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:34,160
Speaker 1: that's it. In the playoffs, does that impact you either way?

797
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:35,880
Speaker 1: You tell you care a little bit more about you

798
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:39,000
Speaker 1: toss for the playoffs. I'll tell you a story. And

799
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 1: what happens in overtime in nineteen something something I can't remember,

800
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:47,279
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos. We're fourteen and oh coming into Buffalo late

801
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:50,240
Speaker 1: in the season, and we went to overtime with that team,

802
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:52,840
Speaker 1: and I went out for the coin flip with Chris

803
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:57,279
Speaker 1: Spielman and John Elway was their team, and they won

804
00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 1: the toss, and he said, we'll kick off and take

805
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:05,120
Speaker 1: the wind. And I didn't think anything of it, right,

806
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:08,719
Speaker 1: I just said, all right, we're gonna we'll receive, you know,

807
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 1: because that's you get a choice. Now. If I had

808
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:13,719
Speaker 1: said we'll defend this in he said kick off, I

809
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:16,400
Speaker 1: said we'll defend this in they would have now they

810
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:18,920
Speaker 1: beat us in overtime. They probably wouldn't have had I

811
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:22,759
Speaker 1: got both and I and the the official. After we all,

812
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:25,440
Speaker 1: I said let's go. You know, I said, well, we'll

813
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:29,400
Speaker 1: receive the ball. Had I stayed out there and said, listen,

814
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:31,600
Speaker 1: we want to defend that, he's gonna kick off, we're

815
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:33,359
Speaker 1: gonna defend that in. If I'd have said that, we've

816
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:36,560
Speaker 1: gotten that strong, a big head wind, and we'd probably

817
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:38,600
Speaker 1: won the game, it's not all that different from what

818
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:41,759
Speaker 1: Dad's exactly what happened to Dak press because Dak said,

819
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:46,360
Speaker 1: what did he say? He said we're gonna kick He

820
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:51,640
Speaker 1: did not say we're going to defer, right. So who

821
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:53,560
Speaker 1: the heck were they playing that week? They were playing

822
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:59,480
Speaker 1: um Philly or something nose before Phil, the Packers. No,

823
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:02,040
Speaker 1: not the Packers. I can't, oh, the Rams. They were

824
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:05,520
Speaker 1: playing the Rams. So the Rams said, that's good by us,

825
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 1: we'll take the ball, you know, And so Dallas deferred.

826
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:16,600
Speaker 1: They didn't defer, they said we're going to kick kick off.

827
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:20,360
Speaker 1: So they made a choice. That's right. So now the

828
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:22,480
Speaker 1: Rams are getting the ball in the first half, and

829
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:24,919
Speaker 1: they have their choice for the second half. And then

830
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:26,960
Speaker 1: for some reason, the head of a full river n

831
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:30,080
Speaker 1: jumps in and decides to flex his muscles and do

832
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:34,319
Speaker 1: something that's illegal. Dumb. It's dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb. All right,

833
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:36,919
Speaker 1: there we go. That was an interesting story. I didn't

834
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:39,879
Speaker 1: know that it's true. It's true. Um, all right. We've

835
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:41,640
Speaker 1: got Thurman Thomas coming up at the top of the hour.

836
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:43,440
Speaker 1: What question do you want answer? Is the Bill's head

837
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:45,640
Speaker 1: into the playoffs. We've also got Dawson Knox coming on

838
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:48,680
Speaker 1: this show after practice, so you can hear the bass

839
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 1: pumping out there. They're still on the practice field. You

840
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:52,760
Speaker 1: were Steve Tasker and Chris Brown the day after Christmas,

841
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 1: One Bill's Live, presented by Kalida Health from One Bill's

842
00:41:55,760 --> 00:42:10,440
Speaker 1: Drive and this is Buffalo Bill's Radio. Welcome back to

843
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:13,000
Speaker 1: One Bill's Live. Chris Brown, here was Steve Tasker, who's

844
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:17,160
Speaker 1: got a mouthful of turkey chowing luncheon between the break, Boy,

845
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:22,800
Speaker 1: you missed time that one there, fella, Steve, clear your throat,

846
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:25,480
Speaker 1: just an ill timed final bite of that sandwich. Yeah,

847
00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:30,920
Speaker 1: there you go. It's good though. Good. So we're talking

848
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:35,000
Speaker 1: the question you want answered as the Bills head into

849
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:37,720
Speaker 1: the playoffs here. Obviously they have the regular season finale

850
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:41,719
Speaker 1: on Sunday, but I think the vast majority of everyone's

851
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:44,280
Speaker 1: focus is on who they're going to wind up playing,

852
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:46,840
Speaker 1: whether it's Kansas City or Houston, first and foremost, and

853
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:50,440
Speaker 1: then second, you know, is this a team that is

854
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:52,680
Speaker 1: going to be able to put it all together to

855
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:56,480
Speaker 1: get a playoff victory on the road, And let's be honest,

856
00:42:56,600 --> 00:43:00,000
Speaker 1: and coach mcdermotty even said it on Wednesday or Tuesday

857
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:02,279
Speaker 1: this week. You know, this is a team that still

858
00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:03,640
Speaker 1: has a lot of work to do. And I think

859
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:06,560
Speaker 1: most people would say the majority of the work is

860
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:08,960
Speaker 1: on the offensive side of the ball in terms of

861
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:14,680
Speaker 1: tightening things up, being more consistent, being more productive. Yeah,

862
00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:19,520
Speaker 1: quite frankly. So that's where my questions lie. Can this team,

863
00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:22,520
Speaker 1: in the span of two weeks time kind of tighten

864
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:25,719
Speaker 1: things up on offense, be a more consistent group, have

865
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 1: few or three and outs, I'm not even talking about,

866
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:31,399
Speaker 1: you know, racking up points like crazy, although that would

867
00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:33,360
Speaker 1: be nice. I just want them to stay on the

868
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:36,560
Speaker 1: field longer, give their defense a little bit of a break,

869
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:40,080
Speaker 1: give their defense longer fields, and then when those crunch

870
00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:46,959
Speaker 1: time opportunities arise to cash in, cash in. Yeah, it's

871
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:49,480
Speaker 1: exactly what I think. And I think it's a fun

872
00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:51,520
Speaker 1: spot for us to be in, for the Bills fans

873
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:54,279
Speaker 1: based to be in and the team because you know,

874
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:57,720
Speaker 1: because we've seen flashes of it, it's in our tank somewhere.

875
00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 1: They can pull off these big plays. They can throw

876
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:02,600
Speaker 1: the ball deep, they can do that. Josh can throw

877
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:04,720
Speaker 1: the football wherever he wants. You can make all the throws.

878
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:07,520
Speaker 1: We've got the talented We've got talented enough players on

879
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 1: offense to be productive. We've got guys running open. Josh

880
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:14,440
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes misses the mark or doesn't see him.

881
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:17,000
Speaker 1: All of that stuff is on the table. But that's

882
00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:20,440
Speaker 1: the fun part about this is for Bills fans, is

883
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:22,320
Speaker 1: you can see it right in front of you. Is

884
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:24,839
Speaker 1: this team is good enough to beat any of these

885
00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:28,200
Speaker 1: teams in this tournament. And the fun part about it

886
00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:31,680
Speaker 1: is we've seen other teams and this team at times too,

887
00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:35,320
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, go oh wow, clicks it clicked

888
00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:39,040
Speaker 1: for gag, you catch fire. And I would love it

889
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:41,520
Speaker 1: if that happened to this team. If the Bills went

890
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:43,720
Speaker 1: on a run like they like the New York Giants

891
00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:46,640
Speaker 1: did twice with Eli Manning, where they were they were okay,

892
00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:49,160
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, you know, they find a

893
00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:51,360
Speaker 1: little something in their game plan and their momentum and

894
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:54,480
Speaker 1: they end up, you know, scoring twenty eight thirty points

895
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:57,080
Speaker 1: a game with a really stellar defense, and that's I

896
00:44:57,120 --> 00:44:58,839
Speaker 1: think it's a fun thing to think about. You can

897
00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:00,759
Speaker 1: see this team doing that. I mean, that's not off

898
00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:02,880
Speaker 1: them out of the round. Now, certainly they don't do it.

899
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:05,239
Speaker 1: They're not didn't do it consistently enough this year, but

900
00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:07,319
Speaker 1: we've seen flashes enough of all the good things that

901
00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:11,680
Speaker 1: we look for that if that all pops out with

902
00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:14,440
Speaker 1: this defense to add there, you're not gonna beat them.

903
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:16,719
Speaker 1: And that's the fun part about this whole scenario. So

904
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:18,360
Speaker 1: let's go to the tweet sheet and see what you

905
00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:21,160
Speaker 1: have to say about what question you want answered as

906
00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:26,600
Speaker 1: the Bills head into the playoffs. By moving system, the

907
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:29,120
Speaker 1: official movers of the Buffalo Bills, the tweet sheet go

908
00:45:29,160 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 1: ahead Brownie from Dave go ahead and read that time. Yeah,

909
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:33,640
Speaker 1: he says, can the offense keep up with opposing teams?

910
00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:35,759
Speaker 1: Can we score enough points? I know our defense is

911
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:37,719
Speaker 1: good enough, but what about our offense? And that kind

912
00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:40,640
Speaker 1: of sums it up. Runs parallel to what Steve and

913
00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:45,200
Speaker 1: I have been discussing. And that's the thing too, Like

914
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:47,280
Speaker 1: I think people are like, can we score enough points?

915
00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:49,480
Speaker 1: We have to remember they're gonna be going against the

916
00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:53,279
Speaker 1: same caliber of defenses that they've largely seen through the

917
00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:55,840
Speaker 1: final month of the regular season. Scored seventeen points a

918
00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:58,080
Speaker 1: game on those teams, right, And so you say, well,

919
00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:00,239
Speaker 1: can they score more? Well, I don't know. Maybe you

920
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:03,640
Speaker 1: can have a catch fire kind of thing like Steve's describing,

921
00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:05,920
Speaker 1: and yeah, maybe one week in the playoffs you can

922
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:09,320
Speaker 1: do that and survive in advance. But in the event

923
00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:11,719
Speaker 1: that you can't, I think you at least need your

924
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:16,360
Speaker 1: offense to string some drives together. If you're not getting

925
00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:18,440
Speaker 1: in the end zone, you're putting it between the uprights.

926
00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:22,000
Speaker 1: If you're not even doing that, at least you're spending

927
00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:23,960
Speaker 1: time on the field to give your defense a break,

928
00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:26,280
Speaker 1: and maybe you're flipping the field to give your defense

929
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:29,400
Speaker 1: a long field, because with the top five defense sometimes

930
00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:31,839
Speaker 1: that can be enough. Just giving them a break and

931
00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:34,280
Speaker 1: giving them a long field to defend can be the difference.

932
00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:38,160
Speaker 1: It's interesting too, because the yeah, they could catch fire.

933
00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:40,480
Speaker 1: But that's why it's going to be this year. This year,

934
00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:42,839
Speaker 1: it's gonna be You're gonna have to categorize this. If

935
00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:44,840
Speaker 1: they do make a run and their offense gets catches

936
00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:47,480
Speaker 1: fire and scores twenty eight thirty points a game throughout

937
00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:50,040
Speaker 1: the playoffs and makes a deep run, you're gonna have

938
00:46:50,040 --> 00:46:51,840
Speaker 1: to say, Wow, they caught fire at the right time.

939
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:57,080
Speaker 1: That spells good things for next year. But I think

940
00:46:57,120 --> 00:46:58,359
Speaker 1: next year you want to get to the point where

941
00:46:58,400 --> 00:46:59,920
Speaker 1: it's not catching fire. That's the way you run your

942
00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:02,919
Speaker 1: But this year, yeah, you're gonna have to categorize as Listen,

943
00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:05,359
Speaker 1: they were okay, they scored seventeen points for the last

944
00:47:05,400 --> 00:47:07,360
Speaker 1: month of the season every game, and then all of

945
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:10,279
Speaker 1: a sudden they scored twenty eight throughout the playoffs and

946
00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:12,319
Speaker 1: got deep. That's the way I think it will have

947
00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:14,480
Speaker 1: to be characterized. If you're if you're a Buffalo Bills

948
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:18,560
Speaker 1: fan and I'm by I'll take it right. Also from

949
00:47:18,560 --> 00:47:20,719
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet, what question he wants answered? Does the

950
00:47:20,719 --> 00:47:23,359
Speaker 1: Bills heading the playoffs? Jack says, this can allan show.

951
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:27,200
Speaker 1: He's the franchise quarterback we have sought after, and since

952
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:30,080
Speaker 1: Jim Kelly retired, he's had ups and downs. This year,

953
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:32,360
Speaker 1: he showed he can deliver in the clutch at times,

954
00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:35,840
Speaker 1: but also has suffered from slow starts, inconsistency, and still

955
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:40,680
Speaker 1: yet to have that big marquee game or passing performance. Yeah,

956
00:47:40,719 --> 00:47:43,120
Speaker 1: you know, I still think there's a lot made about

957
00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:46,880
Speaker 1: the three hundred yard passing game. And how you know

958
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:50,200
Speaker 1: Josh really I think he's got one in his career.

959
00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:52,560
Speaker 1: I don't even know. He doesn't know he doesn't have one.

960
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:55,000
Speaker 1: It hasn't been. The last one is the last one

961
00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:56,880
Speaker 1: the team had his over forty games ago. I think

962
00:47:56,880 --> 00:47:59,120
Speaker 1: it was Tyrod and the overtime lost to Miami in

963
00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:03,600
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen. So I just think a lot is made

964
00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:05,560
Speaker 1: of the three hundred yard passing game. A lot of

965
00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:10,280
Speaker 1: guys that throw for three hundred yards loose for various reasons.

966
00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:12,399
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's because you're throwing at the end of a game,

967
00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:15,000
Speaker 1: your rack up statistics and you're behind and you don't win.

968
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:18,279
Speaker 1: But there are other guys that I'd love to see

969
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:21,800
Speaker 1: the overall record of quarterbacks that have had three hundred

970
00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:24,279
Speaker 1: yard passing games collectively what the record is, because I

971
00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:27,600
Speaker 1: would venture to guess it's at or around five hundred.

972
00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:32,600
Speaker 1: So I don't think that is a necessary precursor or

973
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:36,240
Speaker 1: prerequisite to winning consistently. It certainly makes you more productive,

974
00:48:37,560 --> 00:48:39,759
Speaker 1: but I think it depends on your total team as

975
00:48:39,760 --> 00:48:43,640
Speaker 1: to whether that's a successful formula all the time, just

976
00:48:43,680 --> 00:48:45,759
Speaker 1: because of the winning percentage that I've seen attached to

977
00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:52,480
Speaker 1: those kinds of games. As far as consistency ups and downs, yes,

978
00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:54,640
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any question that Josh has had

979
00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:56,880
Speaker 1: his ups and downs, and he has had slow starts.

980
00:48:57,080 --> 00:48:59,319
Speaker 1: Last week as an example of that, four for his

981
00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:04,200
Speaker 1: first ten passing just flat out missing people, bad ball location.

982
00:49:04,760 --> 00:49:06,839
Speaker 1: Sometimes it takes him a little bit to warm up.

983
00:49:07,239 --> 00:49:09,879
Speaker 1: And Josh even addressed that after the game last week.

984
00:49:09,920 --> 00:49:12,000
Speaker 1: He said, look, I know I've got to be better

985
00:49:12,040 --> 00:49:14,400
Speaker 1: at the start of games. I gotta take some easy completions,

986
00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:17,040
Speaker 1: you know, make the easy play kind of thing. And

987
00:49:17,560 --> 00:49:22,120
Speaker 1: it's it's good that Josh has the self awareness right

988
00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:25,359
Speaker 1: after the game. Hasn't seen the film, you know, it's

989
00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:28,239
Speaker 1: not Monday. He hasn't gone through it in the film

990
00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:31,279
Speaker 1: room with his coach. He knew after that game he

991
00:49:31,320 --> 00:49:33,400
Speaker 1: had to be better in the beginning and had to

992
00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:36,680
Speaker 1: take some of the easy completions instead of, you know,

993
00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:40,359
Speaker 1: trying to make the fifty yard play, make the eight

994
00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:43,800
Speaker 1: yard play and stay on schedule. And he still battles

995
00:49:43,840 --> 00:49:47,160
Speaker 1: his own competitive nature sometimes with that. And it's good

996
00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:49,680
Speaker 1: that he has that kind of self awareness and knows

997
00:49:49,719 --> 00:49:51,600
Speaker 1: he has to be better for the sake of his

998
00:49:51,680 --> 00:49:55,600
Speaker 1: team's success going forward. So those are all good things,

999
00:49:55,719 --> 00:49:57,920
Speaker 1: and these are all lessons that he's putting in the

1000
00:49:57,960 --> 00:50:00,520
Speaker 1: memory bank and then hopefully, you know, you don't see

1001
00:50:00,520 --> 00:50:08,239
Speaker 1: that stuff resurface. Um clutch, He's absolutely clutch. I think

1002
00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:11,040
Speaker 1: he is. I said this on Your Guys Show earlier

1003
00:50:11,040 --> 00:50:16,040
Speaker 1: in the season. He's never gonna be the sixty eight

1004
00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:18,640
Speaker 1: percent completion quarterback in this league. I don't think he's

1005
00:50:18,680 --> 00:50:21,080
Speaker 1: ever gonna get there. I think he's gonna be somewhere

1006
00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:24,400
Speaker 1: when he's got his peak and reaches his ceiling, and

1007
00:50:24,440 --> 00:50:26,520
Speaker 1: he's gonna think he's gonna be somewhere between sixty two

1008
00:50:26,520 --> 00:50:30,120
Speaker 1: and sixty five percent completion. But he is gonna be

1009
00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:34,200
Speaker 1: one a crunch time quarterback. And you know what, I'd

1010
00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:37,080
Speaker 1: rather have the crunch time guy than the sixty eight

1011
00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:40,120
Speaker 1: completion percentage guy who doesn't win me as many games. Yeah,

1012
00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:45,280
Speaker 1: I mean, he's uh, he's got what is it, twenty touchdown?

1013
00:50:45,360 --> 00:50:47,200
Speaker 1: How what's he got touchdown? I think he's accounted for

1014
00:50:47,239 --> 00:50:50,040
Speaker 1: twenty seven touchdowns on the year, rushing and passing, and

1015
00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:53,960
Speaker 1: ten turnovers or something like that. He's uh, he's he's

1016
00:50:53,960 --> 00:50:55,600
Speaker 1: really up to his game. We're gonna take a break.

1017
00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:58,040
Speaker 1: Thurman Thomas is coming right after the break. He's in studio,

1018
00:50:58,360 --> 00:51:01,200
Speaker 1: gonna be a studio with us, Steve Tasker, Chris Brown.

1073
00:54:13,640 --> 00:54:16,920
Speaker 1: over there around No, No, Yeah, they tried to come

1074
00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:18,640
Speaker 1: over this year. That's just a lot of them. There's

1075
00:54:18,640 --> 00:54:20,000
Speaker 1: a lot of them. Yeah, they tried to come over

1076
00:54:20,080 --> 00:54:21,799
Speaker 1: this year. I was like, no, I'm not having got

1077
00:54:21,800 --> 00:54:25,160
Speaker 1: that big extended family here in Western New York. We

1078
00:54:25,239 --> 00:54:29,520
Speaker 1: have a capacity fire Marshal gets involved man, right, Yeah, yeah,

1079
00:54:29,920 --> 00:54:31,920
Speaker 1: we've been talking about it and we were giving you

1080
00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:34,200
Speaker 1: all kinds of credit for this this idea bounce around.

1081
00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:37,360
Speaker 1: You're saying, what, um, there's a thing going out these

1082
00:54:37,400 --> 00:54:40,040
Speaker 1: teams playing in these Week seventeen matchups that don't mean anything.

1083
00:54:40,800 --> 00:54:43,359
Speaker 1: I could have sworn your on your show, on your

1084
00:54:43,719 --> 00:54:46,680
Speaker 1: visit last week, you said, there's a great idea, and

1085
00:54:46,800 --> 00:54:49,279
Speaker 1: let them activate the practice squad guys on these games

1086
00:54:49,320 --> 00:54:51,200
Speaker 1: in week seventeen that don't mean anything for either team

1087
00:54:51,239 --> 00:54:53,319
Speaker 1: and won't affect their standings, and you you came in

1088
00:54:53,360 --> 00:54:56,600
Speaker 1: today going, yeah, I can't take credit ignorant. It was something. Yeah,

1089
00:54:56,600 --> 00:54:59,080
Speaker 1: it was something that somebody else said. Yeah, with something

1090
00:54:59,120 --> 00:55:02,520
Speaker 1: that somebody else, Do you like it like that? Like

1091
00:55:02,600 --> 00:55:04,320
Speaker 1: the idea. I mean, the guy's been on the practice

1092
00:55:04,320 --> 00:55:06,520
Speaker 1: squad all year along, haven't really got involved in a

1093
00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:11,080
Speaker 1: real time games Christmas bonus too, Yeah, to get a

1094
00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:15,080
Speaker 1: game check, right, So yeah, I thought it was a

1095
00:55:15,080 --> 00:55:16,880
Speaker 1: great idea at the time when this person told me that,

1096
00:55:16,880 --> 00:55:19,040
Speaker 1: I was like. I did get some feedback though from

1097
00:55:19,080 --> 00:55:21,080
Speaker 1: some of the fans. They gonna listen though, even though

1098
00:55:21,840 --> 00:55:25,120
Speaker 1: it doesn't mean anything for this year's UH playoffs and

1099
00:55:25,200 --> 00:55:28,600
Speaker 1: it's not going to affect the standings or anything effectively

1100
00:55:28,719 --> 00:55:31,560
Speaker 1: for the regular season. They didn't make an mention though

1101
00:55:31,600 --> 00:55:34,759
Speaker 1: that these games do still mean something for the draft order, right,

1102
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:38,200
Speaker 1: But there's also and I get that, but my my

1103
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:41,279
Speaker 1: counter argument to that is, I listen you've got a

1104
00:55:41,320 --> 00:55:43,440
Speaker 1: guy on your team you still want to find out about,

1105
00:55:43,640 --> 00:55:45,440
Speaker 1: and that may affect the guy you want to even

1106
00:55:45,520 --> 00:55:47,359
Speaker 1: draft in the first place, which position. So if you

1107
00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:48,880
Speaker 1: put him in there and he knocks it dead and

1108
00:55:48,880 --> 00:55:50,120
Speaker 1: he does everything, you want to be said, well, you

1109
00:55:50,160 --> 00:55:53,279
Speaker 1: know what, we don't have to draft a guy there.

1110
00:55:53,560 --> 00:55:57,080
Speaker 1: So I think I think that right here, finding out

1111
00:55:57,080 --> 00:56:00,200
Speaker 1: about the guys you're already paying right makes more sense

1112
00:56:00,239 --> 00:56:03,560
Speaker 1: then going out and making whether you're gonna draft thirty

1113
00:56:03,560 --> 00:56:05,920
Speaker 1: second or thirty third, you know, the last pick of

1114
00:56:05,960 --> 00:56:08,000
Speaker 1: the first or the first pick of the second. It's

1115
00:56:08,040 --> 00:56:09,960
Speaker 1: nothing like that, But you know what I mean, I

1116
00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:13,480
Speaker 1: think that would make you. I think it's just as

1117
00:56:13,520 --> 00:56:15,880
Speaker 1: big an argument for it as against it. Yeah, but

1118
00:56:15,880 --> 00:56:18,320
Speaker 1: I think when you when you talk about the Buffalo Bills,

1119
00:56:18,320 --> 00:56:22,759
Speaker 1: you talk about I mean, where is their weakest link?

1120
00:56:23,400 --> 00:56:25,799
Speaker 1: There's not a lot. I don't think, No, there's not

1121
00:56:25,840 --> 00:56:27,760
Speaker 1: a lot. I don't think they have built this team

1122
00:56:27,840 --> 00:56:30,960
Speaker 1: from three years ago to right now, and pretty much

1123
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:35,480
Speaker 1: every position is strong at this point. So that's when

1124
00:56:35,480 --> 00:56:38,400
Speaker 1: you're involved. It could be trades involved or whatever, but

1125
00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:40,839
Speaker 1: this is a strong football team. And all the teams

1126
00:56:40,840 --> 00:56:42,759
Speaker 1: that you see going into the playoffs. Right now, they're

1127
00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:46,879
Speaker 1: strong and it was almost every position, so their need

1128
00:56:47,040 --> 00:56:49,239
Speaker 1: might not be as much as a team that's picking

1129
00:56:49,280 --> 00:56:51,480
Speaker 1: way up at one, two, three, and four, right right,

1130
00:56:51,480 --> 00:56:54,239
Speaker 1: And I get that. I mean that, but by the

1131
00:56:54,280 --> 00:56:57,239
Speaker 1: same tokeny, a lot of team free agency happens, and

1132
00:56:57,239 --> 00:56:59,960
Speaker 1: that's where these teams try to get to before the draft.

1133
00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:01,680
Speaker 1: They get to where they can draft the best player

1134
00:57:01,719 --> 00:57:05,720
Speaker 1: available rather than you know, they got no white outs

1135
00:57:05,760 --> 00:57:08,000
Speaker 1: and they gotta find somebody, so they picked whatever is

1136
00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:10,040
Speaker 1: available in the end, and for the Bill, that's where

1137
00:57:10,080 --> 00:57:11,759
Speaker 1: you get in trouble. And for the Bills, forget about

1138
00:57:11,760 --> 00:57:13,759
Speaker 1: the practice squad. They still probably want to find out

1139
00:57:13,760 --> 00:57:16,360
Speaker 1: a little bit more about guys on the roster. Duke Williams,

1140
00:57:16,920 --> 00:57:20,560
Speaker 1: Corey Thompson, the linebacker, Nick Easley. I know when when

1141
00:57:20,640 --> 00:57:23,480
Speaker 1: Duke first got his first action in Tennessee, Tennessee, I

1142
00:57:23,560 --> 00:57:25,200
Speaker 1: thought we were we would at this point we would

1143
00:57:25,320 --> 00:57:27,440
Speaker 1: know more about dude. Played in one more game, right,

1144
00:57:27,560 --> 00:57:30,520
Speaker 1: and one got six targets on the season, right, So

1145
00:57:30,880 --> 00:57:33,360
Speaker 1: you know, I was kind of looking at Robert Foster's

1146
00:57:33,400 --> 00:57:35,680
Speaker 1: got fourteen targets, and I thought we found out about

1147
00:57:35,760 --> 00:57:37,760
Speaker 1: him last year. We found out about him last year.

1148
00:57:37,800 --> 00:57:40,600
Speaker 1: So yeah, there's there's players on those guys are on

1149
00:57:40,600 --> 00:57:44,760
Speaker 1: the active roster, right about the practice squad guys on

1150
00:57:44,800 --> 00:57:47,040
Speaker 1: the active roster. You're trying to find out about these

1151
00:57:47,040 --> 00:57:50,760
Speaker 1: guys and you don't know, You really don't know, because

1152
00:57:50,880 --> 00:57:53,360
Speaker 1: they can see him practice. And that does tell these

1153
00:57:53,400 --> 00:57:55,479
Speaker 1: guys a lot. And I think one of the things

1154
00:57:55,480 --> 00:57:58,800
Speaker 1: that and one of the reasons we take calls all

1155
00:57:58,840 --> 00:58:00,760
Speaker 1: the time about why is and Will he's playing? Why

1156
00:58:00,760 --> 00:58:05,200
Speaker 1: Isn'tdke Will? And here's the and I don't know, but

1157
00:58:05,360 --> 00:58:09,160
Speaker 1: I do know this. They watch him every day. They're

1158
00:58:09,160 --> 00:58:11,400
Speaker 1: in meetings with him every day, they watch him on

1159
00:58:11,440 --> 00:58:13,640
Speaker 1: the practice field every day. He gets coached by the

1160
00:58:13,680 --> 00:58:16,600
Speaker 1: strength conditioning guys. Every day, he has interactions with the

1161
00:58:17,720 --> 00:58:21,000
Speaker 1: wide receivers, coach, the offensive coordinator, quarterbacks, coach, the players.

1162
00:58:21,360 --> 00:58:24,480
Speaker 1: They watch him and everybody else on the roster every day,

1163
00:58:24,560 --> 00:58:27,560
Speaker 1: how they interact. Is he working hard enough? Is he

1164
00:58:27,600 --> 00:58:30,680
Speaker 1: doing everything we want him to do? Is has he

1165
00:58:31,120 --> 00:58:33,720
Speaker 1: made it impossible for us not to activate him? You

1166
00:58:33,760 --> 00:58:38,800
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying? Is he? Yeah? Is he lining upright?

1167
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:40,400
Speaker 1: Is he running the right route? Is he making the

1168
00:58:40,480 --> 00:58:42,680
Speaker 1: right adjustment? All that stuff goes into the mix, and

1169
00:58:42,720 --> 00:58:44,160
Speaker 1: it's easy for us to sit here and go, let

1170
00:58:44,200 --> 00:58:45,680
Speaker 1: the guy caught a touchdown his first game out, you

1171
00:58:45,680 --> 00:58:47,960
Speaker 1: got to put him back in right. You know, you

1172
00:58:48,040 --> 00:58:50,360
Speaker 1: get excited he catches a tough catch, you know it,

1173
00:58:50,400 --> 00:58:52,560
Speaker 1: and you know it's like, okay, well, you know you

1174
00:58:52,600 --> 00:58:54,320
Speaker 1: need to play. Well, there's a little more to it

1175
00:58:54,360 --> 00:58:57,520
Speaker 1: than that. It seems evident to me just based on

1176
00:58:58,240 --> 00:59:03,640
Speaker 1: how the roster on game day has remained largely the same. Yea,

1177
00:59:03,960 --> 00:59:05,640
Speaker 1: the Bills have used one of the fewest number of

1178
00:59:05,640 --> 00:59:08,680
Speaker 1: players in the NFL fifty seven guys. What that says

1179
00:59:08,720 --> 00:59:11,120
Speaker 1: to me, at least in terms of the personnel they're

1180
00:59:11,160 --> 00:59:14,520
Speaker 1: putting on the field at receiver, is they believe there

1181
00:59:14,520 --> 00:59:17,600
Speaker 1: are more effective offense with more speed on the field,

1182
00:59:18,320 --> 00:59:22,080
Speaker 1: not more side. I wonder if the conversation would be

1183
00:59:22,240 --> 00:59:25,520
Speaker 1: different if they didn't have a six five rookie running

1184
00:59:25,520 --> 00:59:28,760
Speaker 1: around a tight end like Dawson Knox or even Tyler

1185
00:59:28,800 --> 00:59:32,120
Speaker 1: Croft in the lineup. Maybe they feel that those guys

1186
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:36,760
Speaker 1: check the box for size in the passing games, and

1187
00:59:36,840 --> 00:59:40,080
Speaker 1: let's use our speed at receiver. Could you see that

1188
00:59:40,160 --> 00:59:42,960
Speaker 1: being their line of thinking. I could see that. I mean,

1189
00:59:43,200 --> 00:59:46,280
Speaker 1: just years ago, New England did it when Gronkowski and

1190
00:59:46,840 --> 00:59:51,600
Speaker 1: I think these two guys are metro problems. Yeah, Tyler,

1191
00:59:51,720 --> 00:59:55,720
Speaker 1: especially when he's healthy, and Knox, I think he's I

1192
00:59:55,760 --> 00:59:57,440
Speaker 1: think it's a good tight end there, but I think

1193
00:59:57,440 --> 01:00:00,880
Speaker 1: they're metro problems for a lot of teams around the leagues.

1194
01:00:01,600 --> 01:00:03,600
Speaker 1: But when you have to look at that, who are

1195
01:00:03,640 --> 01:00:06,760
Speaker 1: we playing, Yeah, you have to look at that situation first,

1196
01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:09,479
Speaker 1: two tight ends. Yeah, if they're going to get certain

1197
01:00:09,520 --> 01:00:12,080
Speaker 1: linebackers that they think that they can beat, you put

1198
01:00:12,120 --> 01:00:15,080
Speaker 1: them out there. And that's been kind of their offense

1199
01:00:15,160 --> 01:00:18,560
Speaker 1: for fifteen out of sixteen games, and that's got to

1200
01:00:18,600 --> 01:00:21,080
Speaker 1: be how they're looking at it. And you know, I

1201
01:00:21,120 --> 01:00:27,080
Speaker 1: think too that if the size receiver on their roster

1202
01:00:28,280 --> 01:00:30,360
Speaker 1: was a five or a six year veteran with some

1203
01:00:30,480 --> 01:00:35,160
Speaker 1: proven production in his career, we would probably see that

1204
01:00:35,200 --> 01:00:39,600
Speaker 1: guy active more often. No knock on Duke Williams, but

1205
01:00:40,040 --> 01:00:42,480
Speaker 1: he's a guy with enormous production in the CFL, but

1206
01:00:42,600 --> 01:00:44,480
Speaker 1: is just getting his feet wet in the NFL. And

1207
01:00:44,520 --> 01:00:48,600
Speaker 1: I think that also has a contributing effect to it too.

1208
01:00:49,480 --> 01:00:52,040
Speaker 1: You know, if he was heading shoulders a better option

1209
01:00:52,080 --> 01:00:54,880
Speaker 1: than whatever size guy they have a tight end, he

1210
01:00:54,960 --> 01:00:57,760
Speaker 1: probably would be active more often. I think I think

1211
01:00:57,800 --> 01:01:01,800
Speaker 1: I'm just just throwing it out here. I think maybe

1212
01:01:01,960 --> 01:01:06,640
Speaker 1: if they play Baltimore again, he could be active. Yep.

1213
01:01:06,760 --> 01:01:10,800
Speaker 1: I would agree with that because we saw what happened,

1214
01:01:11,120 --> 01:01:16,280
Speaker 1: what happened the car out of the smaller. So if

1215
01:01:16,320 --> 01:01:19,960
Speaker 1: that comes we have a situation, Yeah, it will. I

1216
01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:21,959
Speaker 1: think it will happen, right, and you know, we gotta

1217
01:01:21,960 --> 01:01:25,200
Speaker 1: think about two. He's on the practice squad, well, the

1218
01:01:25,400 --> 01:01:27,680
Speaker 1: duke in prectic squad, right, Yeah, No, he's he's on

1219
01:01:27,760 --> 01:01:31,840
Speaker 1: an active rocket. He like you said earlier, he's they're

1220
01:01:31,840 --> 01:01:35,320
Speaker 1: watching him every single day. If he's not doing a job,

1221
01:01:35,400 --> 01:01:39,920
Speaker 1: he's gone. You just don't keep guys like Cody Dermott

1222
01:01:39,960 --> 01:01:43,440
Speaker 1: and his personnel department. They like churning the bottom three

1223
01:01:43,800 --> 01:01:47,720
Speaker 1: to six spots on the roster and the practice squad too.

1224
01:01:47,960 --> 01:01:50,320
Speaker 1: It kind of settles down as the year goes along,

1225
01:01:50,360 --> 01:01:53,120
Speaker 1: but that first half of a year people are on

1226
01:01:53,160 --> 01:01:54,920
Speaker 1: and on trying to get You're trying to get better

1227
01:01:54,920 --> 01:01:58,400
Speaker 1: in two ways. Athletically obviously, you're trying to get a bigger, stronger, faster,

1228
01:01:58,520 --> 01:02:00,960
Speaker 1: more athletic guy. And then you're trying to hit it

1229
01:02:01,160 --> 01:02:03,000
Speaker 1: where guys like all of a sudden it picks up

1230
01:02:03,040 --> 01:02:06,320
Speaker 1: for him. He works hard at it, he's smart enough,

1231
01:02:06,560 --> 01:02:08,760
Speaker 1: starts to acclimate a little bit better, turns out to

1232
01:02:08,760 --> 01:02:10,400
Speaker 1: be the right kind of guy for the locker room,

1233
01:02:10,440 --> 01:02:11,680
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, you now you found one

1234
01:02:11,720 --> 01:02:14,160
Speaker 1: of those guys. He stopped rotating that spot, and then

1235
01:02:14,160 --> 01:02:16,120
Speaker 1: you're only rotating there. He has There hasn't been a

1236
01:02:16,160 --> 01:02:18,000
Speaker 1: lot of guys running in and out of here. They've

1237
01:02:18,080 --> 01:02:22,200
Speaker 1: used half of the season. They have been like I mean,

1238
01:02:22,200 --> 01:02:26,000
Speaker 1: you look, they've been extraordinarily healthy too. That's been the

1239
01:02:26,080 --> 01:02:29,080
Speaker 1: key for me. I think throughout the entire season. You

1240
01:02:29,120 --> 01:02:31,800
Speaker 1: remember a couple of years ago, Black before McDermott got here. Yeah,

1241
01:02:31,880 --> 01:02:34,080
Speaker 1: twenty guys on arm before and theyn't got a halfway

1242
01:02:34,080 --> 01:02:36,760
Speaker 1: through the season. Yeah, and now that you had, I

1243
01:02:36,880 --> 01:02:40,600
Speaker 1: tell you what that weight room over what they got man, Well, yeah,

1244
01:02:43,040 --> 01:02:46,880
Speaker 1: definitely helped them. Steve Tasker and Chris Brown on One

01:03:56,200 --> 01:03:59,080

1275
01:04:13,520 --> 01:04:15,520
Speaker 1: the game, I knew every player. I knew everything was

1276
01:04:15,560 --> 01:04:17,400
Speaker 1: gonna happen. Everything. And my kids were looking at me,

01:04:25,440 --> 01:04:27,200
Speaker 1: want because we went to a movie, came back and

1281
01:04:27,200 --> 01:04:28,600
Speaker 1: I said, well, I caught the last five minutes of

1282
01:04:28,600 --> 01:04:33,040
Speaker 1: the game. And you forget they say, the no huddling,

1283
01:04:33,120 --> 01:04:36,760
Speaker 1: all this, this all this mystique and this nostalgia about

1284
01:04:36,800 --> 01:04:39,040
Speaker 1: the no huddling, how great it was. You forget how

1285
01:04:39,160 --> 01:04:43,560
Speaker 1: fast that offense went. It was play play play play play,

1286
01:04:43,640 --> 01:04:45,280
Speaker 1: and and he noted it, and I said, this is

1287
01:04:45,280 --> 01:04:47,080
Speaker 1: the reason, you know. He says, wow, they didn't. Everybody

1288
01:04:47,080 --> 01:04:49,160
Speaker 1: look kind of slow. Jim had watching time. We're all

1289
01:04:49,200 --> 01:04:51,920
Speaker 1: sitting there watching it last. Everybody was gassed. Like Jim's

1290
01:04:51,920 --> 01:04:53,480
Speaker 1: got all the time in the world back there. Look

1291
01:04:53,520 --> 01:04:55,520
Speaker 1: at him, He's he's got half an hour to throw

1292
01:04:55,520 --> 01:04:57,200
Speaker 1: the ball, he could have it. You could sit down

1293
01:04:57,200 --> 01:04:59,240
Speaker 1: and have a six pack in a picnic. What is

1294
01:04:59,280 --> 01:05:01,320
Speaker 1: going on? And ste like broke it down in about

1295
01:05:01,360 --> 01:05:04,000
Speaker 1: ten seconds. Yeah, because we went so fact if you

1296
01:05:04,000 --> 01:05:05,440
Speaker 1: could stay on the field and get a first down

1297
01:05:05,480 --> 01:05:08,200
Speaker 1: the first down and Kent used to say this, he

1298
01:05:08,240 --> 01:05:12,280
Speaker 1: goes by the by the second first down, those guys

1299
01:05:12,480 --> 01:05:14,600
Speaker 1: and they just started eating on us. They rushing the past.

1300
01:05:15,200 --> 01:05:17,640
Speaker 1: They're just holding the hand up. We were, I mean,

1301
01:05:17,680 --> 01:05:21,200
Speaker 1: we were, we're we're in pretty good shape. But you know,

1302
01:05:21,720 --> 01:05:24,720
Speaker 1: for me, it was totally different because I was running

1303
01:05:24,720 --> 01:05:26,600
Speaker 1: pass routs down the field and I come back and

1304
01:05:26,640 --> 01:05:28,520
Speaker 1: I was looking for Kiddy Davids after about four or

1305
01:05:28,520 --> 01:05:30,800
Speaker 1: five player, can I get a breath over here? But

1306
01:05:30,920 --> 01:05:34,480
Speaker 1: the Raiders they were gash. I mean that first drive

1307
01:05:34,560 --> 01:05:37,680
Speaker 1: that we had and that's a big called they called.

1308
01:05:37,960 --> 01:05:41,959
Speaker 1: And I think dick Enberg said, that's a basketball time out. Yeah,

1309
01:05:42,000 --> 01:05:45,600
Speaker 1: where everything they just called a twenty right quick the momentum,

1310
01:05:45,640 --> 01:05:47,520
Speaker 1: and that's exactly what the Raiders do. And there was

1311
01:05:47,560 --> 01:05:50,040
Speaker 1: some conversation about that going in because other teams had

1312
01:05:50,080 --> 01:05:51,960
Speaker 1: done that leading up to it, and they had said, hey,

1313
01:05:52,000 --> 01:05:53,160
Speaker 1: what do you got? You know, the teams are calling

1314
01:05:53,200 --> 01:05:55,560
Speaker 1: timeouts just to get it catch their breath for a minute,

1315
01:05:55,800 --> 01:05:57,400
Speaker 1: and the Raiders go nine nine, Now we're going to

1316
01:05:57,440 --> 01:05:59,600
Speaker 1: do that because we because once you lie, you know,

1317
01:05:59,640 --> 01:06:01,760
Speaker 1: they lit lined up. If we can just get lined up,

1318
01:06:01,760 --> 01:06:03,320
Speaker 1: we're gonna be all right. We match up with him,

1319
01:06:03,320 --> 01:06:05,000
Speaker 1: we'll be fine. We're just gonna match up, and we

1320
01:06:05,080 --> 01:06:09,280
Speaker 1: gotta and first drive, they were like time timeout, and

1321
01:06:09,360 --> 01:06:13,080
Speaker 1: I still and I saw this closer to the end

1322
01:06:13,200 --> 01:06:14,880
Speaker 1: midway through the second quarter. I think you guys were

1323
01:06:14,880 --> 01:06:17,520
Speaker 1: already up twenty one three. You get down near the

1324
01:06:17,560 --> 01:06:21,120
Speaker 1: goal line and you run three goal line plays right quick,

1325
01:06:21,720 --> 01:06:24,600
Speaker 1: and then you'll there's a brief discussion on the sideline

1326
01:06:24,640 --> 01:06:26,600
Speaker 1: about whether to go for it on fourth and goal,

1327
01:06:27,440 --> 01:06:31,920
Speaker 1: and you guys ran three goal line plays fast, and

1328
01:06:32,000 --> 01:06:34,560
Speaker 1: the Raiders ended up calling time out when they come

1329
01:06:34,600 --> 01:06:37,080
Speaker 1: up to the line for fourth down, and Butch rolls

1330
01:06:37,120 --> 01:06:40,760
Speaker 1: on the end of the formation. He's like, yeah, we

1331
01:06:40,800 --> 01:06:43,000
Speaker 1: got him to call it another timeout, like he's all

1332
01:06:43,000 --> 01:06:45,080
Speaker 1: fired up about the time out, and then he ran

1333
01:06:45,120 --> 01:06:47,720
Speaker 1: it in on fourth and goal there, but um oh no,

1334
01:06:47,840 --> 01:06:51,240
Speaker 1: Kenny Davis. Davis ran down four and you were you

1335
01:06:51,280 --> 01:06:57,880
Speaker 1: were fantasy football nightmare. You'd have liked the vulture touchdown.

1336
01:06:58,000 --> 01:07:00,840
Speaker 1: Call him the Vulture, the one year the Vulture of

1337
01:07:00,920 --> 01:07:03,600
Speaker 1: running back. That's what it was, was coach Marve. Believe

1338
01:07:04,160 --> 01:07:08,240
Speaker 1: it was save you for other things. I gotta tell you.

1339
01:07:08,600 --> 01:07:13,680
Speaker 1: Um watching Marv with the headset and the hat, he

1340
01:07:13,720 --> 01:07:16,439
Speaker 1: needed somebody to help him on the sideline. Mar his hat,

1341
01:07:17,840 --> 01:07:21,200
Speaker 1: I'm not he had the headset on. He's he's over here.

1342
01:07:22,080 --> 01:07:25,000
Speaker 1: He's at about eleven o'clock with the hat brim. You know,

1343
01:07:25,040 --> 01:07:27,640
Speaker 1: it was either eleven o'clock or it was one o'clock.

1344
01:07:27,760 --> 01:07:30,600
Speaker 1: It was no twelve o'clock. Marv did more high fives.

1345
01:07:32,120 --> 01:07:34,720
Speaker 1: He was over here, you know, just a little bit.

1346
01:07:34,760 --> 01:07:36,320
Speaker 1: But the headset, you know, he's the just in his

1347
01:07:36,400 --> 01:07:38,280
Speaker 1: then and it's like, oh, Mark, straighten that out. Man.

1348
01:07:38,640 --> 01:07:41,400
Speaker 1: Come on. They taking shots at the coach on the sideline,

1349
01:07:41,400 --> 01:07:43,800
Speaker 1: you know, fifteen twenty times a game. Every time they

1350
01:07:43,840 --> 01:07:46,160
Speaker 1: came back, it's like, oh my god, somebody's straightening the

1351
01:07:46,160 --> 01:07:48,760
Speaker 1: poor man's head out. Mar Marv did have a bad

1352
01:07:48,800 --> 01:07:53,440
Speaker 1: sideline look going. He had no hat game. It was right.

01:08:13,520 --> 01:08:15,560
Speaker 1: you want the Bills to answer as they head into

1362
01:08:15,560 --> 01:08:18,439
Speaker 1: the playoffs? What question do you want answered about the team? Like?

1363
01:08:18,520 --> 01:08:20,879
Speaker 1: What about the team do you need to see answered

1364
01:08:21,200 --> 01:08:23,519
Speaker 1: as they head into the postseason? A lot of it,

1365
01:08:23,640 --> 01:08:25,320
Speaker 1: A lot of it has to do for Brownie. Now

1366
01:08:25,320 --> 01:08:27,960
Speaker 1: we've been talking about offensive inconsistency, Josh making the right

1367
01:08:28,000 --> 01:08:31,120
Speaker 1: throw and I and I said, for us, for this team,

1368
01:08:31,600 --> 01:08:33,439
Speaker 1: if they come on and all of a sudden, if

1369
01:08:33,479 --> 01:08:36,519
Speaker 1: they can do what the Giants did in their two

1370
01:08:36,520 --> 01:08:39,360
Speaker 1: Super Bowl runs with ELI, they just get hot. And

1371
01:08:39,439 --> 01:08:41,200
Speaker 1: I think it's in the tank for them to do that.

1372
01:08:42,040 --> 01:08:45,080
Speaker 1: I see enough talent on this offense. You see guys

1373
01:08:45,120 --> 01:08:47,800
Speaker 1: running open, Josh just misses it or doesn't or throw

1374
01:08:47,800 --> 01:08:51,200
Speaker 1: it to somebody, hands primary too long where he misses

1375
01:08:51,200 --> 01:08:53,160
Speaker 1: an opportunity or misses a guy in the back of

1376
01:08:53,160 --> 01:08:54,920
Speaker 1: the ends Dawson knocks in the back of the end zone.

1377
01:08:55,200 --> 01:08:58,680
Speaker 1: It's in there. And if they get hot and they

1378
01:08:58,680 --> 01:09:00,760
Speaker 1: can score twenty eight, thirty point to game, you know,

1379
01:09:00,760 --> 01:09:05,080
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, they plow through the playoffs pretty quick.

1380
01:09:06,760 --> 01:09:11,599
Speaker 1: I'll take twenty one to twenty four. Okay, you're talking

1381
01:09:11,640 --> 01:09:14,479
Speaker 1: two plays a game, right right. Yeah, the Dawson knocks

1382
01:09:14,479 --> 01:09:16,840
Speaker 1: the back the end zone and the John Brown miss

1383
01:09:16,880 --> 01:09:19,240
Speaker 1: missplay when he stuck hung on Cole Beasley too much,

1384
01:09:19,280 --> 01:09:22,800
Speaker 1: and then this John you miss you you hit on

1385
01:09:22,880 --> 01:09:27,880
Speaker 1: those you score twice more, you're thirty you're thirty two. Yeah,

1386
01:09:27,920 --> 01:09:30,400
Speaker 1: I guarantee you they're they're they're running those plays over

1387
01:09:30,439 --> 01:09:33,240
Speaker 1: and over again in practice right now, and that's getting

1388
01:09:33,240 --> 01:09:35,559
Speaker 1: that mental your thoughts? Is that the question you want

1389
01:09:35,560 --> 01:09:37,320
Speaker 1: to answered? Can they catch lightning in a bottle? I

1390
01:09:37,320 --> 01:09:42,240
Speaker 1: hope so, I think. I mean, if it propels them

1391
01:09:42,240 --> 01:09:44,320
Speaker 1: into the Super Bowl, it's gonna be half to done

1392
01:09:44,320 --> 01:09:46,760
Speaker 1: by the offense. Yeah, it's gonna be half to be

1393
01:09:46,840 --> 01:09:49,200
Speaker 1: done by the offense. I think the defense is fine

1394
01:09:49,200 --> 01:09:52,360
Speaker 1: no matter who they match up against, Kansas City, Texas

1395
01:09:53,000 --> 01:09:55,639
Speaker 1: Baltimore again. I mean, I'd like to see that match

1396
01:09:55,720 --> 01:09:57,960
Speaker 1: up again. But so They're only gonna go as far

1397
01:09:58,000 --> 01:10:00,439
Speaker 1: as this offense can take them, exactly, And offense has

1398
01:10:00,439 --> 01:10:02,040
Speaker 1: got to play better than the half. They have three

1399
01:10:02,120 --> 01:10:05,040
Speaker 1: straight games seventeen points. It's not gonna be. Yeah, though,

1400
01:10:05,080 --> 01:10:07,439
Speaker 1: those times where you go out there and when you

1401
01:10:07,520 --> 01:10:10,040
Speaker 1: always like on our text match, we need a first down.

1402
01:10:10,280 --> 01:10:12,439
Speaker 1: We can't go one two three punt. You know, we

1403
01:10:13,800 --> 01:10:15,800
Speaker 1: you know, and and I have to look at it

1404
01:10:15,880 --> 01:10:22,439
Speaker 1: as okay, d as offensive coordinator, your best athlete is

1405
01:10:22,479 --> 01:10:28,559
Speaker 1: the quarterback. Throw the football. Don't throw it on first

1406
01:10:28,560 --> 01:10:31,120
Speaker 1: down and didn't run it on second down. You throw

1407
01:10:31,160 --> 01:10:33,200
Speaker 1: it first, you threw a second, you throw a third.

1408
01:10:33,320 --> 01:10:36,519
Speaker 1: It gives you, it gives you the best chance to win. Yeah,

1409
01:10:36,600 --> 01:10:38,000
Speaker 1: you can go all the way back to Week one.

1410
01:10:38,040 --> 01:10:41,120
Speaker 1: Remember they were doing that against the Jets line of scrimmage.

1411
01:10:41,240 --> 01:10:44,280
Speaker 1: There's they're going no huddle and Josh throwing a lot

1412
01:10:44,280 --> 01:10:47,679
Speaker 1: of short stuff everywhere. Yeah, it was time throw throw

1413
01:10:47,800 --> 01:10:50,480
Speaker 1: throw throws the first eight nine play first. Yeah exactly.

1414
01:10:50,800 --> 01:10:52,559
Speaker 1: I think go back to that. I think you have

1415
01:10:52,600 --> 01:10:58,759
Speaker 1: a more successful played. More importantly, it would get Josh

1416
01:10:58,760 --> 01:11:00,680
Speaker 1: in a in a rhythm fast, which has been a

1417
01:11:00,720 --> 01:11:03,759
Speaker 1: bugaboo of his. Also, yes, it has been we've floateiced

1418
01:11:03,800 --> 01:11:05,479
Speaker 1: that in the last couple of games. Now, what do

1419
01:11:05,520 --> 01:11:07,400
Speaker 1: you make of the fact that this last month of

1420
01:11:07,400 --> 01:11:10,080
Speaker 1: the season, and I'd said, seventeen points three straight games

1421
01:11:10,080 --> 01:11:12,760
Speaker 1: and they scored twenty six against Dallas, they scored twenty

1422
01:11:12,760 --> 01:11:18,559
Speaker 1: against him. Baltimore raven defense, Pittsburgh Steeler defense, New England

1423
01:11:18,600 --> 01:11:22,600
Speaker 1: Patriot defense. They've played three of the top defenses in

1424
01:11:22,640 --> 01:11:26,360
Speaker 1: the league, top five they're the top Yeah, the other

1425
01:11:26,439 --> 01:11:29,280
Speaker 1: four of the top five defenses, it's Bills at number two,

1426
01:11:29,280 --> 01:11:31,639
Speaker 1: and then those other three teams to the top four defenses, right,

1427
01:11:31,800 --> 01:11:35,320
Speaker 1: and the Bills have played all of them, right, and

1428
01:11:35,360 --> 01:11:38,360
Speaker 1: then before that to Dallas Cowboy, Denver Broncos and Dallas Cowboys.

1429
01:11:38,400 --> 01:11:40,200
Speaker 1: Denver had a top five defense at the time they

1430
01:11:40,200 --> 01:11:42,360
Speaker 1: played it. Now there's still a top seven defense with

1431
01:11:42,520 --> 01:11:47,080
Speaker 1: points allowed. So they faced some really stout defenses on

1432
01:11:47,120 --> 01:11:50,600
Speaker 1: the way into these playoffs. So how well is that

1433
01:11:50,640 --> 01:11:52,360
Speaker 1: going to serve them? And they kind of struggled a

1434
01:11:52,360 --> 01:11:55,760
Speaker 1: little bit. They're not scoring po nobody's scoring points on

1435
01:11:55,800 --> 01:11:58,920
Speaker 1: those teams. But that should make three four plays away

1436
01:11:59,080 --> 01:12:01,280
Speaker 1: from breaking that game. I'd open all those teams that

1437
01:12:01,320 --> 01:12:03,880
Speaker 1: you name that we played, all those teams that you

1438
01:12:03,960 --> 01:12:06,040
Speaker 1: put that we played, they play. It's one or two,

1439
01:12:06,120 --> 01:12:08,439
Speaker 1: three or four players that that that will separate those

1440
01:12:08,479 --> 01:12:11,000
Speaker 1: games right there, And I think you probably have at

1441
01:12:11,080 --> 01:12:13,360
Speaker 1: least one or two more wins right now. So to me,

1442
01:12:13,760 --> 01:12:17,280
Speaker 1: like the win that the loss that still hurts me

1443
01:12:17,360 --> 01:12:21,240
Speaker 1: the most is that Cleveland loss. Yeah, that that bugs

1444
01:12:21,280 --> 01:12:24,840
Speaker 1: me bugs And that's one of time where we should

1445
01:12:24,840 --> 01:12:27,040
Speaker 1: have made some plays on the offensive side of the ball. Right,

1446
01:12:27,200 --> 01:12:29,760
Speaker 1: it was there and he didn't take a vent. And

1447
01:12:29,800 --> 01:12:32,559
Speaker 1: it's the playoffs now, it's one and done right right. Yeah.

1448
01:12:32,640 --> 01:12:35,400
Speaker 1: So I mean, you got a young quarterback, young running back,

1449
01:12:35,520 --> 01:12:39,479
Speaker 1: you got veteran receiver. I'm looking. I'm looking to make

1450
01:12:39,479 --> 01:12:43,360
Speaker 1: a run, right, I am looking too. I think this

1451
01:12:43,360 --> 01:12:45,120
Speaker 1: team is gonna step it up and they they'll step

1452
01:12:45,160 --> 01:12:46,920
Speaker 1: it up and notch in the playoffs. I think Josh's

1453
01:12:46,920 --> 01:12:48,639
Speaker 1: got that in him. I think guys will follow him.

1454
01:12:48,680 --> 01:12:50,479
Speaker 1: I think this coaching staff will take a step a

1455
01:12:50,600 --> 01:12:53,880
Speaker 1: notch up. The matchup is gonna be tantamount. I think

1456
01:12:54,080 --> 01:12:56,400
Speaker 1: I think they can go into Houston and win. They

1457
01:12:56,400 --> 01:12:59,679
Speaker 1: can go into Kansas City, but man, oh man, that's

1458
01:12:59,760 --> 01:13:03,479
Speaker 1: that's a different animal. It's tough. It'd be tough. It

1459
01:13:03,560 --> 01:13:06,559
Speaker 1: could be snowing in Kansas City. That could be equal

1460
01:13:06,640 --> 01:13:12,439
Speaker 1: for both teams. That homes didn't look too well. You uh,

1461
01:13:14,520 --> 01:13:16,000
Speaker 1: the game. You're gonna beat the Bills game this weekend

1462
01:13:16,000 --> 01:13:18,519
Speaker 1: and Jet game? Absolutely the game. Do you have any

Speaker 1: movers of the Buffalo Bills. From William, he says, can

1509
01:15:44,960 --> 01:15:47,479
Speaker 1: the offense put up twenty four points a game? Can

1510
01:15:47,600 --> 01:15:50,680
Speaker 1: Josh complete more deep balls? Hopefully there's a whole other

1511
01:15:50,720 --> 01:15:52,840
Speaker 1: playbook that we can unleash in the playoffs. I would

1512
01:15:52,920 --> 01:15:55,439
Speaker 1: rather keep it the same against Houston if we play them,

1513
01:15:55,479 --> 01:15:58,280
Speaker 1: if we advanced to Baltimore or New England, what new

1514
01:15:58,439 --> 01:16:02,160
Speaker 1: things do we do? Yeah? I get the twenty four

1515
01:16:02,240 --> 01:16:05,759
Speaker 1: points thing. And one of the reasons why William's probably

1516
01:16:05,800 --> 01:16:09,080
Speaker 1: thinking that way is because historically, probably over the last

1517
01:16:09,120 --> 01:16:12,320
Speaker 1: to ten, ten to twelve years, teams that qualify for

1518
01:16:12,400 --> 01:16:16,479
Speaker 1: the playoffs typically average twenty four points per game on

1519
01:16:16,800 --> 01:16:18,040
Speaker 1: you know, those are the ones that make a deep

1520
01:16:18,120 --> 01:16:21,640
Speaker 1: run too. Yeah, and you know, the Bills are not

1521
01:16:21,840 --> 01:16:25,439
Speaker 1: that right now, they're not that. Can they be that

1522
01:16:27,360 --> 01:16:30,759
Speaker 1: maybe against the eighteenth ranked defense, which is the Texans.

1523
01:16:31,680 --> 01:16:32,920
Speaker 1: I don't know if you can do it against the

1524
01:16:32,960 --> 01:16:35,640
Speaker 1: top five defense, you know, like the Bills or the

1525
01:16:35,720 --> 01:16:39,920
Speaker 1: Ravens or one of those clubs, or even the Patriots.

1526
01:16:39,960 --> 01:16:43,240
Speaker 1: So right now, the Buffalos are twenty third one game,

1527
01:16:43,360 --> 01:16:46,200
Speaker 1: maybe for one game. I think they might be able

1528
01:16:46,280 --> 01:16:49,880
Speaker 1: to do that consistently. I don't know if they're they're

1529
01:16:49,960 --> 01:16:52,200
Speaker 1: quite there yet in terms of having all the ducks

1530
01:16:52,240 --> 01:16:55,519
Speaker 1: in a row where they're just a they're just humming.

1531
01:16:55,720 --> 01:16:58,759
Speaker 1: You know. The Bills are averaging twenty point five points

1532
01:16:58,840 --> 01:17:01,559
Speaker 1: per game. That's not far off twenty third in the league.

1533
01:17:01,760 --> 01:17:04,760
Speaker 1: Of course, the Ravens are thirty three points a game,

1534
01:17:04,840 --> 01:17:08,280
Speaker 1: San Francisco thirty. And that's an example of an offense

1535
01:17:08,360 --> 01:17:10,920
Speaker 1: that's a machine, right, you know, and they've got and

1536
01:17:11,000 --> 01:17:13,640
Speaker 1: they've got the defense that compliments that their defense is

1537
01:17:13,720 --> 01:17:16,760
Speaker 1: a beast. And even they were nine points below that

1538
01:17:16,840 --> 01:17:19,880
Speaker 1: average against the playoff defense and the Bills. They scored

1539
01:17:19,960 --> 01:17:23,200
Speaker 1: what twenty four in the game against the Bills, right

1540
01:17:23,680 --> 01:17:27,640
Speaker 1: the Ravens did the ravenscore against the Buffalo team? I

1541
01:17:27,680 --> 01:17:30,479
Speaker 1: think they scored, Uh well, I can tell you right now.

1542
01:17:30,560 --> 01:17:34,400
Speaker 1: They scored twenty four. Yeah, twenty four, nine points below

1543
01:17:34,439 --> 01:17:36,160
Speaker 1: the nine points below the average. And I think that's

1544
01:17:36,160 --> 01:17:39,439
Speaker 1: an example of what's going to happen probably in the playoffs.

1545
01:17:39,479 --> 01:17:44,040
Speaker 1: Two to a large degree, games get tighter, margins get narrower.

1546
01:17:44,720 --> 01:17:47,880
Speaker 1: So you know, if you have a top five defense,

1547
01:17:47,920 --> 01:17:50,719
Speaker 1: which the Bills do, and you can narrow that margin,

1548
01:17:51,680 --> 01:17:54,160
Speaker 1: you know, you can reduce the burden on the offense.

1549
01:17:54,400 --> 01:17:57,800
Speaker 1: That's what you can do. So hopefully the defense can

1550
01:17:57,920 --> 01:18:00,479
Speaker 1: keep on keeping on, you know, and then the offense

1551
01:18:00,560 --> 01:18:04,040
Speaker 1: can maybe make an extra play or two here or there.

1552
01:18:04,200 --> 01:18:06,720
Speaker 1: Well as as we anticipated just a couple minutes ago,

1553
01:18:06,760 --> 01:18:08,360
Speaker 1: we told you Dawson Knox is gonna come in and visit.

1554
01:18:08,439 --> 01:18:10,599
Speaker 1: Come on in and sit down, Dawson. Wheel it up, man,

1555
01:18:10,720 --> 01:18:13,280
Speaker 1: wheel it up, pull it up onto the set um.

1556
01:18:13,680 --> 01:18:15,880
Speaker 1: We just had Thurman Thomas on. We were talking about

1557
01:18:16,080 --> 01:18:18,559
Speaker 1: some of the things, and here we have the big question.

1558
01:18:18,640 --> 01:18:20,400
Speaker 1: What's the big question people want to answer about this

1559
01:18:20,520 --> 01:18:22,759
Speaker 1: team that you're on before they head to the playoffs,

1560
01:18:22,800 --> 01:18:24,280
Speaker 1: and you know, kind of focus on your side of

1561
01:18:24,320 --> 01:18:25,920
Speaker 1: the ball, the offense. I love to see you guys score,

1562
01:18:26,240 --> 01:18:28,479
Speaker 1: you know, one more touchdown a game or you know,

1563
01:18:28,520 --> 01:18:30,280
Speaker 1: get up into the high twenties and stuff. What are

1564
01:18:30,280 --> 01:18:32,160
Speaker 1: you guys, What are your guys thoughts about? You know,

1565
01:18:32,240 --> 01:18:34,800
Speaker 1: how your offense is progressing, because there's no doubt it's

1566
01:18:34,920 --> 01:18:37,599
Speaker 1: way different than it was in the beginning of the year. Yeah.

1567
01:18:37,640 --> 01:18:40,200
Speaker 1: I just think as we get more and more reps, um,

1568
01:18:40,640 --> 01:18:42,679
Speaker 1: like with the receivers and the tight ends with Josh,

1569
01:18:42,760 --> 01:18:44,720
Speaker 1: I mean that timing in that chemistry just gets better

1570
01:18:44,760 --> 01:18:47,439
Speaker 1: and better as the season goes. Our lines are doing

1571
01:18:47,439 --> 01:18:49,720
Speaker 1: a good job protecting them too. Um. So I just

1572
01:18:49,800 --> 01:18:51,639
Speaker 1: think it's a rep thing. You know. Since we've gotten

1573
01:18:51,680 --> 01:18:53,720
Speaker 1: more reps, it's gotten a little cleaner, um and it's

1574
01:18:53,760 --> 01:18:55,760
Speaker 1: just gonna keep getting better too. I think, how how

1575
01:18:55,920 --> 01:18:59,320
Speaker 1: different are you now than you were three months ago?

1576
01:18:59,320 --> 01:19:01,920
Speaker 1: I mean, how field and have more comfortable you know

1577
01:19:01,920 --> 01:19:04,200
Speaker 1: what I mean, because you gotta be your headspace has

1578
01:19:04,200 --> 01:19:06,559
Speaker 1: got to be in a completely different spot now. Oh yeah,

1579
01:19:06,640 --> 01:19:08,720
Speaker 1: my head was spinning when I got to camp. When

1580
01:19:08,760 --> 01:19:10,639
Speaker 1: we were going through OTAs it was like a brand

1581
01:19:10,680 --> 01:19:13,960
Speaker 1: new world football, and now I feel like it's starting

1582
01:19:14,000 --> 01:19:16,479
Speaker 1: to slow down a little bit for me, just after

1583
01:19:16,840 --> 01:19:19,200
Speaker 1: doing all the plays all year, you know, kind of

1584
01:19:19,600 --> 01:19:22,120
Speaker 1: just building up that rep count, it's starting to become

1585
01:19:22,160 --> 01:19:24,760
Speaker 1: a little a little bit like second nature. And like

1586
01:19:24,920 --> 01:19:27,519
Speaker 1: I said, that timing thing with Josh is just getting

1587
01:19:27,520 --> 01:19:29,599
Speaker 1: a little better every day, So I think it's it's

1588
01:19:29,640 --> 01:19:32,160
Speaker 1: gotten a lot. The game's starting to slow down a

1589
01:19:32,200 --> 01:19:34,640
Speaker 1: little bit for me. I know, Coach has been adamant

1590
01:19:34,720 --> 01:19:37,720
Speaker 1: that let's go one and oh every week, and it's

1591
01:19:37,760 --> 01:19:41,360
Speaker 1: the same kind of daily process every week that you

1592
01:19:41,479 --> 01:19:44,320
Speaker 1: do that, and the NFL is kind of a routine

1593
01:19:44,400 --> 01:19:46,719
Speaker 1: type sport, especially with the way the weeks are worked

1594
01:19:46,720 --> 01:19:50,080
Speaker 1: out here. But this week's a little different because I

1595
01:19:50,160 --> 01:19:52,160
Speaker 1: think a lot of people, at least on the outside,

1596
01:19:53,080 --> 01:19:56,240
Speaker 1: view this game as kind of a tune up for

1597
01:19:56,479 --> 01:19:58,840
Speaker 1: the playoffs and like an on ramp kind of game.

1598
01:20:00,640 --> 01:20:02,640
Speaker 1: How do you guys view it? Are you trying to

1599
01:20:02,760 --> 01:20:04,880
Speaker 1: look at it the same or is there a ramp

1600
01:20:05,000 --> 01:20:09,200
Speaker 1: up element to this week for next week? Well, I mean,

1601
01:20:09,560 --> 01:20:11,400
Speaker 1: our team just has a lot of competitors on it

1602
01:20:11,600 --> 01:20:14,439
Speaker 1: and we never like slowing down. We never like to lose.

1603
01:20:14,479 --> 01:20:15,800
Speaker 1: So I think we're just gonna treat it like any

1604
01:20:15,840 --> 01:20:17,320
Speaker 1: other game. We want to go out there and win.

1605
01:20:18,720 --> 01:20:20,400
Speaker 1: Like you said, that's kind of been the motto all year,

1606
01:20:20,439 --> 01:20:22,800
Speaker 1: just to go want to know this week. So I

1607
01:20:22,840 --> 01:20:26,080
Speaker 1: don't know how exactly it might be different, but even

1608
01:20:26,160 --> 01:20:28,760
Speaker 1: in practice, like we've been competing, playing hard, trying to

1609
01:20:28,800 --> 01:20:31,720
Speaker 1: win this week. How how far away does week one

1610
01:20:31,800 --> 01:20:34,479
Speaker 1: against the Jets in New York City? Yeah, like a

1611
01:20:34,520 --> 01:20:38,000
Speaker 1: different lifetime crazy right? Yeah, now you've seen them too.

1612
01:20:38,160 --> 01:20:40,240
Speaker 1: They're a different team cub as well. I mean if

1613
01:20:40,280 --> 01:20:42,200
Speaker 1: won five of their last seven, Right, they've started to

1614
01:20:42,240 --> 01:20:43,880
Speaker 1: kind of get it together a little bit, looked more,

1615
01:20:43,880 --> 01:20:45,200
Speaker 1: a little more like the team we thought they were

1616
01:20:45,240 --> 01:20:47,560
Speaker 1: going to be when the season began. What about you know,

1617
01:20:47,640 --> 01:20:49,240
Speaker 1: you're starting a game playing form, what do you what

1618
01:20:49,280 --> 01:20:52,160
Speaker 1: do you see? Yeah? So, M their defense has always

1619
01:20:52,200 --> 01:20:56,800
Speaker 1: been pretty M pretty well rounded. M. Obviously they've started

1620
01:20:56,880 --> 01:20:59,320
Speaker 1: making strives later in the season kind of like we have. UM,

1621
01:20:59,439 --> 01:21:02,519
Speaker 1: so we can underestimate anybody we play, especially in this league.

1622
01:21:02,520 --> 01:21:06,640
Speaker 1: Everybody's got talent, everybody's gonna play hard, especially in you know,

1623
01:21:06,720 --> 01:21:10,160
Speaker 1: an Endivision game. So you know, we're just gonna go

1624
01:21:10,160 --> 01:21:11,680
Speaker 1: out there with the same mindset, try to go one

1625
01:21:11,720 --> 01:21:14,080
Speaker 1: to know and try to win. Yeah, Coach talked about

1626
01:21:14,120 --> 01:21:16,920
Speaker 1: the balance, you know, with the outcome of this game

1627
01:21:17,000 --> 01:21:20,599
Speaker 1: not impacting your playoff seating. He talked about the long

1628
01:21:20,760 --> 01:21:24,080
Speaker 1: discussions that he and the other staff members had about

1629
01:21:24,400 --> 01:21:29,880
Speaker 1: weighing injury risk, weighing staying sharp as a team by

1630
01:21:30,040 --> 01:21:36,639
Speaker 1: playing versus rest, and given guys bodies a break. How

1631
01:21:36,760 --> 01:21:39,240
Speaker 1: has he kind of communicated all of that to you

1632
01:21:39,400 --> 01:21:42,680
Speaker 1: guys this week once he made the decision as to

1633
01:21:42,800 --> 01:21:45,080
Speaker 1: what the course of action was going to be, which,

1634
01:21:45,240 --> 01:21:47,000
Speaker 1: as we understand it for the most part, is going

1635
01:21:47,040 --> 01:21:49,280
Speaker 1: to be most of the guys you're up, you know

1636
01:21:49,320 --> 01:21:51,160
Speaker 1: what I mean? So how did I'm just curious how

1637
01:21:51,240 --> 01:21:55,559
Speaker 1: he communicated all of that processing to you. M Yeah,

1638
01:21:55,640 --> 01:21:59,080
Speaker 1: so earlier, earlier this week, we had a practice kind

1639
01:21:59,080 --> 01:22:03,200
Speaker 1: of structured just ones versus ones, twos versus two's, and

1640
01:22:03,320 --> 01:22:05,680
Speaker 1: less scouted look, so it was more of a competitive

1641
01:22:06,000 --> 01:22:09,120
Speaker 1: you know, we do our stuff, the defense says their stuff,

1642
01:22:09,160 --> 01:22:12,240
Speaker 1: and we just compete work on our fundamentals. So it's

1643
01:22:12,280 --> 01:22:13,640
Speaker 1: kind of working on the little things that we need

1644
01:22:13,680 --> 01:22:15,120
Speaker 1: to get better on both sides of the ball. At

1645
01:22:15,160 --> 01:22:18,920
Speaker 1: the same time, and it's he hasn't communicated whether it's

1646
01:22:18,920 --> 01:22:20,679
Speaker 1: going to be a rest week or not, but we've

1647
01:22:20,880 --> 01:22:22,439
Speaker 1: we've just had the message that we're gonna going and

1648
01:22:22,520 --> 01:22:24,120
Speaker 1: try to win this game and win though. Is this

1649
01:22:24,280 --> 01:22:26,240
Speaker 1: the first time you've kind of done that, maybe since

1650
01:22:26,280 --> 01:22:29,040
Speaker 1: training camp ones versus ones, two versus twos or having Yeah,

1651
01:22:29,040 --> 01:22:31,320
Speaker 1: there have been other practices this week this year like that.

1652
01:22:31,960 --> 01:22:34,719
Speaker 1: It's definitely been a while. We've probably had a couple,

1653
01:22:35,400 --> 01:22:38,880
Speaker 1: especially like during the bye week, makes sense, you know,

1654
01:22:38,920 --> 01:22:40,840
Speaker 1: there's been a couple of practices where we've kind of

1655
01:22:41,439 --> 01:22:43,840
Speaker 1: stripped it down to where it's no scout team, where

1656
01:22:43,880 --> 01:22:46,760
Speaker 1: it's just you know, our defense doing their stuff that

1657
01:22:46,800 --> 01:22:49,240
Speaker 1: they do during games and what we do during our games.

1658
01:22:49,280 --> 01:22:51,280
Speaker 1: And we still had we still have a script that

1659
01:22:51,320 --> 01:22:52,720
Speaker 1: we kind of went through to day of stuff that

1660
01:22:52,760 --> 01:22:54,920
Speaker 1: we're gonna play or stuff that we're gonna do against

1661
01:22:54,960 --> 01:22:58,760
Speaker 1: the Jets, Yeah, but just against our defenses. Look, so gotcha, yea,

1662
01:22:59,000 --> 01:23:00,840
Speaker 1: what you do for Christmas? You have any fun over there?

1663
01:23:00,880 --> 01:23:03,120
Speaker 1: Get a day off all that? Did you end up

1664
01:23:03,200 --> 01:23:05,040
Speaker 1: like you weren't over here? Right? I mean you didn't

1665
01:23:05,080 --> 01:23:07,160
Speaker 1: come into the stadium at all. No, So yesterday was

1666
01:23:07,200 --> 01:23:10,280
Speaker 1: completely off. It was nice. Christmas Eve. We had a

1667
01:23:10,320 --> 01:23:13,280
Speaker 1: little practice, you know, I had some meetings and all

1668
01:23:13,320 --> 01:23:15,360
Speaker 1: that good stuff. And then I actually went to Ghost

1669
01:23:15,400 --> 01:23:18,919
Speaker 1: Boris's house on Christmas Eve night and went to Leesmith's

1670
01:23:18,920 --> 01:23:22,080
Speaker 1: house last night. So it's a good little couple of days. Yeah,

1671
01:23:22,080 --> 01:23:24,160
Speaker 1: it's nice to get kind of catch a break and

1672
01:23:24,200 --> 01:23:28,880
Speaker 1: get off your Yeah, one day seems like eternity at

1673
01:23:28,960 --> 01:23:31,519
Speaker 1: this time, right, because you're such a routine oriented. It's

1674
01:23:31,520 --> 01:23:33,639
Speaker 1: such a routine oriented thing that you got the stuff

1675
01:23:33,680 --> 01:23:36,519
Speaker 1: you do every day morning tonight, and to pluck a

1676
01:23:36,600 --> 01:23:39,240
Speaker 1: whole section of that out really does do you good

1677
01:23:39,640 --> 01:23:41,880
Speaker 1: mentally more so than physically. Yeah. Yeah, it was good

1678
01:23:41,920 --> 01:23:44,840
Speaker 1: to reset, just kind of clear our minds, focus on

1679
01:23:45,200 --> 01:23:46,800
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously I don't have family in town, but

1680
01:23:46,920 --> 01:23:50,960
Speaker 1: Lee was able to you know, open gaints with his kids. Me, Tommy,

1681
01:23:51,000 --> 01:23:53,040
Speaker 1: and Nate Becker went over to his house last night.

1682
01:23:53,280 --> 01:23:55,960
Speaker 1: We all had a good dinner, right right, helped them

1683
01:23:56,000 --> 01:23:57,679
Speaker 1: set up some of their presents. One of his kids

1684
01:23:57,760 --> 01:24:01,519
Speaker 1: got the new PlayStation VR or whatever that Yeah, yeah

1685
01:24:01,720 --> 01:24:05,080
Speaker 1: that's too young for me, but um, but we helped

1686
01:24:05,120 --> 01:24:06,720
Speaker 1: them set it up, played some ping pong down in

1687
01:24:06,760 --> 01:24:10,519
Speaker 1: the basement, it was fun, right, is there? Um? Because

1688
01:24:10,640 --> 01:24:13,280
Speaker 1: human nature, you know, is a real thing. And as

1689
01:24:13,400 --> 01:24:15,719
Speaker 1: much as you guys are locked in on the Jets

1690
01:24:15,840 --> 01:24:19,760
Speaker 1: this week, is it gonna be hard knowing human nature

1691
01:24:19,800 --> 01:24:22,760
Speaker 1: as it is to not maybe at least take a

1692
01:24:22,800 --> 01:24:25,439
Speaker 1: peek up at the scoreboard, maybe see if the Chiefs

1693
01:24:25,479 --> 01:24:28,160
Speaker 1: are winning, because it's still it's Chiefs or Texans. You

1694
01:24:28,200 --> 01:24:30,800
Speaker 1: guys don't know yet, and what happens this weekend is

1695
01:24:30,840 --> 01:24:33,400
Speaker 1: going to largely determine who you guys are playing two

1696
01:24:33,439 --> 01:24:35,960
Speaker 1: weeks from now or a week and a half from now.

1697
01:24:36,000 --> 01:24:38,120
Speaker 1: At this point, is it is it hard not to

1698
01:24:38,200 --> 01:24:40,639
Speaker 1: let human nature creep in and just kind of don't

1699
01:24:40,680 --> 01:24:42,519
Speaker 1: let me just take a I wonder what the Chiefs

1700
01:24:42,560 --> 01:24:44,639
Speaker 1: are doing over there because they're playing at one two.

1701
01:24:44,760 --> 01:24:47,120
Speaker 1: I know the Texans aren't playing until four, but if

1702
01:24:47,160 --> 01:24:49,200
Speaker 1: the Chiefs win, then they stay in the three and

1703
01:24:49,320 --> 01:24:51,400
Speaker 1: you get Houston? Is it is it hard not to

1704
01:24:51,520 --> 01:24:53,639
Speaker 1: kind of take a look up there? But well, honestly,

1705
01:24:53,640 --> 01:24:57,200
Speaker 1: I tempted, right, yeah, Oh, absolutely tempting. I'm sure we're

1706
01:24:57,200 --> 01:25:00,280
Speaker 1: gonna have you know, scouts and everybody else looking at it. Um.

1707
01:25:00,360 --> 01:25:02,120
Speaker 1: I think just from the player's standpoint, we're gonna be

1708
01:25:02,160 --> 01:25:03,960
Speaker 1: focused on the game, and I honestly don't even know

1709
01:25:04,040 --> 01:25:07,080
Speaker 1: how anything can shake out at this point. It's best

1710
01:25:07,160 --> 01:25:11,559
Speaker 1: not to worry about it. Yeah, yeah, tell me, tell

1711
01:25:11,600 --> 01:25:13,760
Speaker 1: me when we know, right exactly. So I think all

1712
01:25:13,760 --> 01:25:15,639
Speaker 1: the players are just going to be, you know, locked

1713
01:25:15,640 --> 01:25:18,439
Speaker 1: in on the field. So yeah, And how is the

1714
01:25:18,640 --> 01:25:21,160
Speaker 1: vibe in the locker room right now? Because this last game,

1715
01:25:22,160 --> 01:25:25,600
Speaker 1: it's a it's a real game. It counts counts in

1716
01:25:25,640 --> 01:25:29,880
Speaker 1: your personal statistics, counts into your career. It's not going

1717
01:25:29,920 --> 01:25:32,160
Speaker 1: to affect anything in the standings though, and you're in

1718
01:25:32,200 --> 01:25:34,680
Speaker 1: the playoffs and you're gonna play beyond. So it's a

1719
01:25:34,760 --> 01:25:37,280
Speaker 1: kind of a weird situation in the locker room where

1720
01:25:37,880 --> 01:25:42,200
Speaker 1: you know, you don't this is inconsequential. You know, the

1721
01:25:42,479 --> 01:25:44,479
Speaker 1: consequences are not dire if you lose, you know, because

1722
01:25:44,479 --> 01:25:45,800
Speaker 1: you're you kind of feel like thrown up in your

1723
01:25:45,840 --> 01:25:47,559
Speaker 1: sink when you lose most of these games, because man,

1724
01:25:47,920 --> 01:25:52,639
Speaker 1: got right, Yeah, this was not like that. So it's, uh,

1725
01:25:53,040 --> 01:25:54,439
Speaker 1: what's the vibe like in the locker room? How you

1726
01:25:54,479 --> 01:25:56,720
Speaker 1: guys handled it internally? Yeah, So the weird thing for

1727
01:25:56,800 --> 01:25:58,680
Speaker 1: me is obviously this is my first year and so

1728
01:25:58,840 --> 01:26:00,720
Speaker 1: this you know, it's kind of normal for me. It's

1729
01:26:01,200 --> 01:26:04,880
Speaker 1: an right, So I think the vibe is like, you know,

1730
01:26:05,160 --> 01:26:07,200
Speaker 1: kind of like you said, we know we're still our

1731
01:26:07,240 --> 01:26:09,719
Speaker 1: goal is still out there no matter what the result

1732
01:26:09,840 --> 01:26:13,320
Speaker 1: is this weekend, So it is a little different. I

1733
01:26:13,400 --> 01:26:15,120
Speaker 1: guess it just feels a little different because we know,

1734
01:26:15,320 --> 01:26:18,880
Speaker 1: like we're we're guaranteed a playoff game. But at the

1735
01:26:18,960 --> 01:26:21,800
Speaker 1: same time, I think everybody, like I said earlier, like

1736
01:26:21,920 --> 01:26:24,680
Speaker 1: everybody has that competitive spirit that you know, no one

1737
01:26:24,800 --> 01:26:28,040
Speaker 1: likes losing. It might not be like, oh, the season's over,

1738
01:26:28,120 --> 01:26:30,719
Speaker 1: we lost, but it's still you know, no one likes losing,

1739
01:26:31,040 --> 01:26:33,519
Speaker 1: especially in this level. So sure, And I know earlier

1740
01:26:33,600 --> 01:26:36,120
Speaker 1: you were talking about, you know, things like getting on

1741
01:26:36,160 --> 01:26:38,800
Speaker 1: the same page with Josh even more so you know,

1742
01:26:38,880 --> 01:26:43,560
Speaker 1: as we get down to the postseason, what are the

1743
01:26:43,720 --> 01:26:47,920
Speaker 1: conversations like on the practice field, How might those differ

1744
01:26:48,760 --> 01:26:52,000
Speaker 1: from time spent in the film room. What is the

1745
01:26:52,120 --> 01:26:54,760
Speaker 1: give and take like, Because I don't think fans have

1746
01:26:54,960 --> 01:26:58,240
Speaker 1: a working knowledge of the kinds of conversations that goes

1747
01:26:58,320 --> 01:27:01,320
Speaker 1: on between plays. You know that you're running at practice

1748
01:27:01,680 --> 01:27:03,840
Speaker 1: or even sitting shoulder to shoulder in a film room

1749
01:27:04,240 --> 01:27:07,640
Speaker 1: watching things from practice tape or even game tape, how

1750
01:27:07,720 --> 01:27:11,000
Speaker 1: does that interaction kind of take place, and what are

1751
01:27:11,080 --> 01:27:13,040
Speaker 1: some of the things you guys are trying to get

1752
01:27:13,200 --> 01:27:16,200
Speaker 1: from each other so you see things the same way. Yeah,

1753
01:27:16,320 --> 01:27:19,680
Speaker 1: So even in practice today, we're working on a new

1754
01:27:19,760 --> 01:27:22,479
Speaker 1: play and I ran the route and Josh threw a

1755
01:27:22,520 --> 01:27:25,320
Speaker 1: great ball and it was a completion. But even after that,

1756
01:27:25,439 --> 01:27:27,519
Speaker 1: since it's a new play, we kind of when we're

1757
01:27:27,560 --> 01:27:29,880
Speaker 1: back on the sideline and you know, the twos or

1758
01:27:29,920 --> 01:27:31,840
Speaker 1: whoever else is going, me and Josh kind of talk

1759
01:27:31,880 --> 01:27:34,800
Speaker 1: about the timing. He tells me what he's looking for,

1760
01:27:35,080 --> 01:27:36,840
Speaker 1: so I can give him a better you know break

1761
01:27:36,880 --> 01:27:38,639
Speaker 1: at the top to give him an indicator of when

1762
01:27:38,680 --> 01:27:41,080
Speaker 1: to throw the ball. Just little stuff like that. After

1763
01:27:41,280 --> 01:27:44,880
Speaker 1: certain plays that are probably like particularly new to the

1764
01:27:44,960 --> 01:27:46,680
Speaker 1: game plan, so he might tell you to be like

1765
01:27:46,880 --> 01:27:50,040
Speaker 1: more demonstrative with your body language so he knows you're

1766
01:27:50,360 --> 01:27:52,760
Speaker 1: where you're headed or something like Yeah, because some routes

1767
01:27:52,840 --> 01:27:54,360
Speaker 1: we have, I could go one way or the other.

1768
01:27:55,000 --> 01:27:57,000
Speaker 1: So for a quarterback, he's looking for a you know,

1769
01:27:57,120 --> 01:27:58,880
Speaker 1: certain stick in the ground for me to go one

1770
01:27:58,880 --> 01:28:00,960
Speaker 1: way or the other. So it's kind of just those

1771
01:28:01,000 --> 01:28:03,400
Speaker 1: indicators that he's looking for so we just talk about

1772
01:28:03,439 --> 01:28:05,000
Speaker 1: those ins and outs. One last thing I got to

1773
01:28:05,040 --> 01:28:06,640
Speaker 1: ask you about before I let you go, appreciate you

1774
01:28:06,720 --> 01:28:10,559
Speaker 1: coming in AFC playoff teams this year, and we'll put

1775
01:28:10,600 --> 01:28:13,200
Speaker 1: the Titans in along with the Texans and then the

1776
01:28:13,280 --> 01:28:15,760
Speaker 1: other champions, Like say, the Ravens are in there seven

1777
01:28:15,840 --> 01:28:17,720
Speaker 1: and one on the road, the Patriots are six and

1778
01:28:17,800 --> 01:28:19,880
Speaker 1: two on the road, The Bills are six and two

1779
01:28:19,920 --> 01:28:21,960
Speaker 1: on the road, The Chiefs are seven and one on

1780
01:28:22,040 --> 01:28:24,920
Speaker 1: the road, The Texans are five and three, and the

1781
01:28:24,960 --> 01:28:27,120
Speaker 1: Titans are four and three. All these teams are winning

1782
01:28:27,160 --> 01:28:32,559
Speaker 1: on the road as a playoff team. Now you don't

1783
01:28:32,560 --> 01:28:37,280
Speaker 1: really do you worry about going on the road, Like, yeah,

1784
01:28:37,360 --> 01:28:39,840
Speaker 1: not at all. Does home field count what it used to?

1785
01:28:39,960 --> 01:28:42,599
Speaker 1: I mean, that's really kind of missed a question. Still

1786
01:28:42,680 --> 01:28:45,519
Speaker 1: are we would absolutely love to play at home with

1787
01:28:45,640 --> 01:28:47,840
Speaker 1: these fans. You know, everybody goes nuts in the stands.

1788
01:28:47,880 --> 01:28:49,800
Speaker 1: I've never played with a type of energy that we

1789
01:28:49,960 --> 01:28:52,559
Speaker 1: have here at this field. But I think anywhere we play,

1790
01:28:52,600 --> 01:28:55,240
Speaker 1: we're gonna you know, come out with you know, an

1791
01:28:55,280 --> 01:28:58,160
Speaker 1: equal chance to win, an expectation to win. Two right, Yeah,

1792
01:28:58,280 --> 01:29:01,400
Speaker 1: it's sometimes it's more going on the road in silencing

1793
01:29:01,479 --> 01:29:03,640
Speaker 1: or crowd, rather than playing at home and getting the

1794
01:29:03,680 --> 01:29:06,080
Speaker 1: crowd going. Pressure is kind off too, right, a little bit,

1795
01:29:06,280 --> 01:29:08,960
Speaker 1: a little bit because you know they're not they're not thinking,

1796
01:29:09,080 --> 01:29:11,080
Speaker 1: you know, home team's all jacked up. They're thinking, all right,

1797
01:29:11,160 --> 01:29:12,599
Speaker 1: let's get off to a fast start. And you hang

1798
01:29:12,680 --> 01:29:15,600
Speaker 1: seven on him early. It's like, oh okay, oh yeah, no,

1799
01:29:15,720 --> 01:29:17,920
Speaker 1: I think I think we're ready to play no matter

1800
01:29:17,960 --> 01:29:20,200
Speaker 1: where it is. Yeah, well, good luck man, Thanks for

01:29:52,240 --> 01:29:54,599
Speaker 1: my FB up, so I had to start again. Steve Task,

1809
01:29:54,640 --> 01:29:57,880
Speaker 1: along with Chris Brown, Murcer taking his time until the

1810
01:29:58,000 --> 01:30:00,559
Speaker 1: game on Sunday. He'll call the Jets Bills here Orchard Park.

1811
01:30:00,880 --> 01:30:02,720
Speaker 1: We had Thurman Thomas on at one o'clock, had a

1812
01:30:02,800 --> 01:30:04,640
Speaker 1: nice talk with him and then Dawson Knox right off

1813
01:30:04,640 --> 01:30:06,479
Speaker 1: the practice field came in and visited us as well.

1814
01:30:07,280 --> 01:30:11,400
Speaker 1: Sharp kid. I mean, you know, it's it's it's easy

1815
01:30:11,439 --> 01:30:13,160
Speaker 1: to see when these guys committing you talk to them

1816
01:30:13,200 --> 01:30:15,880
Speaker 1: why they're being successful. They got a lot of quality

1817
01:30:15,960 --> 01:30:18,080
Speaker 1: guys who were playing hard, and they seem prepared and

1818
01:30:19,120 --> 01:30:21,960
Speaker 1: just all in, you know, and they're also saying and

1819
01:30:22,040 --> 01:30:23,640
Speaker 1: doing the right set And I'd love to see this

1820
01:30:23,800 --> 01:30:26,560
Speaker 1: team make a deep playoff run just to be rewarded for.

1821
01:30:27,360 --> 01:30:29,800
Speaker 1: And I know every team can say this, but you know,

1822
01:30:29,880 --> 01:30:32,439
Speaker 1: we're in the building and you see the hard work

1823
01:30:32,520 --> 01:30:35,120
Speaker 1: these games are putting in, and it's it's extra and

1824
01:30:35,240 --> 01:30:38,080
Speaker 1: it's more than the disaster and the coaching staff, and

1825
01:30:38,920 --> 01:30:41,960
Speaker 1: they've got such a support crew in this building that

1826
01:30:42,240 --> 01:30:46,680
Speaker 1: is for this day and age is reminiscent of the

1827
01:30:46,720 --> 01:30:48,560
Speaker 1: support crew we had in my day and age. It

1828
01:30:48,600 --> 01:30:51,120
Speaker 1: certainly wasn't extensive as this because the league was different

1829
01:30:51,200 --> 01:30:55,960
Speaker 1: back then. But they all seem to be pulling in

1830
01:30:56,000 --> 01:30:59,040
Speaker 1: the exact same direction for the same reasons, with the

1831
01:30:59,120 --> 01:31:01,960
Speaker 1: same goal in and even the people who are you know,

1832
01:31:02,080 --> 01:31:04,800
Speaker 1: not involved with the direct football operations, you know, I mean,

1833
01:31:04,880 --> 01:31:07,639
Speaker 1: it's really really a vibe in this building that seems

1834
01:31:08,120 --> 01:31:10,599
Speaker 1: to be on the road to success. And in addition

1835
01:31:10,680 --> 01:31:16,840
Speaker 1: to that, the thing that strikes me about Dawson, Josh

1836
01:31:16,920 --> 01:31:21,320
Speaker 1: Allen players like that is how important the player development

1837
01:31:21,800 --> 01:31:24,840
Speaker 1: in this building is. For players like that. Josh Allen

1838
01:31:24,920 --> 01:31:28,080
Speaker 1: was a junior college guy, only got two years starting

1839
01:31:28,280 --> 01:31:33,240
Speaker 1: in a smaller conference Mountain West. Dawson Knox caught fifteen

1840
01:31:33,360 --> 01:31:38,080
Speaker 1: balls zero touchdown in his entire college career. These guys

1841
01:31:38,200 --> 01:31:43,760
Speaker 1: are literally learning on the job, you know what I mean.

1842
01:31:44,000 --> 01:31:48,640
Speaker 1: Their physical assets put them here, but they're learning on

1843
01:31:48,800 --> 01:31:51,120
Speaker 1: the job. And you know, I know Dawson has had

1844
01:31:51,200 --> 01:31:53,439
Speaker 1: some ups and downs with ball security and things like that,

1845
01:31:53,760 --> 01:31:57,519
Speaker 1: pulling passes and he's had some drops. Got fifteen passes

1846
01:31:57,560 --> 01:32:00,599
Speaker 1: in college, you know what I mean. So you try

1847
01:32:00,680 --> 01:32:03,719
Speaker 1: to try to process that and take that into account

1848
01:32:04,080 --> 01:32:09,080
Speaker 1: when you're thinking about Josh and why he's not getting

1849
01:32:09,080 --> 01:32:13,360
Speaker 1: off his primary more consistently, or why he doesn't come

1850
01:32:13,400 --> 01:32:17,439
Speaker 1: back to the backside, or why his ball location may

1851
01:32:17,479 --> 01:32:19,519
Speaker 1: not be on the money every single time, or why

1852
01:32:19,600 --> 01:32:22,280
Speaker 1: he may not make the right decision with where he's

1853
01:32:22,320 --> 01:32:25,120
Speaker 1: going with the ball on time. He might be a

1854
01:32:25,160 --> 01:32:30,920
Speaker 1: little laked. That's why because these guys are young in football,

1855
01:32:31,520 --> 01:32:37,080
Speaker 1: like young players not only in age, but in terms

1856
01:32:37,120 --> 01:32:40,719
Speaker 1: of experience, even at the college level, and it takes

1857
01:32:40,840 --> 01:32:45,920
Speaker 1: time to get that all ironed out, stamped on, whatever

1858
01:32:45,960 --> 01:32:50,000
Speaker 1: your analogy you want to use here, the flashes are enticing,

1859
01:32:50,240 --> 01:32:54,680
Speaker 1: they're encouraging when players like those two can put it

1860
01:32:54,760 --> 01:32:57,840
Speaker 1: all together, and they both have the work ethic to

1861
01:32:57,920 --> 01:33:01,080
Speaker 1: do so, from what we've seen, want to be good.

1862
01:33:03,200 --> 01:33:05,240
Speaker 1: You really marvel at what those two could be in

1863
01:33:05,479 --> 01:33:07,400
Speaker 1: two or three years. And it's not just them, as

1864
01:33:07,479 --> 01:33:09,400
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary and the other guys too had all of

1865
01:33:09,439 --> 01:33:12,000
Speaker 1: her All of these guys you think and talk about

1866
01:33:12,080 --> 01:33:14,919
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox, he had fifteen catches in college, zero touchdowns

1867
01:33:14,960 --> 01:33:17,120
Speaker 1: his senior year, and now he's got one year, he's

1868
01:33:17,120 --> 01:33:19,280
Speaker 1: got twenty eight catches for three and eighty eight yards

1869
01:33:19,360 --> 01:33:21,800
Speaker 1: at the highest level of football. Downs. Yeah, and he's

1870
01:33:21,800 --> 01:33:24,519
Speaker 1: still learning. You're right. I think that's one of the

1871
01:33:24,640 --> 01:33:28,360
Speaker 1: things that has been overlooked is the steady progression of

1872
01:33:28,439 --> 01:33:31,840
Speaker 1: this roster. And we said earlier I saw the stat

1873
01:33:31,920 --> 01:33:33,560
Speaker 1: and I can't even remember where I saw it, but

1874
01:33:33,680 --> 01:33:35,320
Speaker 1: the Bills are one of the top teams in the

1875
01:33:35,439 --> 01:33:38,439
Speaker 1: league or bottom of the league, whichever you want to

1876
01:33:38,439 --> 01:33:40,920
Speaker 1: look at. They've used the fewest number of players on

1877
01:33:40,960 --> 01:33:43,320
Speaker 1: their active roster. They're one of the fewest teams in

1878
01:33:43,360 --> 01:33:45,439
Speaker 1: the league. They have fifty seven guys who have suited

1879
01:33:45,520 --> 01:33:47,280
Speaker 1: up for them on game day this year. Then you've

1880
01:33:47,320 --> 01:33:50,640
Speaker 1: got teams like the Jets and some of the other

1881
01:33:50,680 --> 01:33:53,240
Speaker 1: teams that have struggled, like the Dolphins, They've got like

1882
01:33:53,320 --> 01:33:55,599
Speaker 1: in the seventies and eighties, the number of guys they've

1883
01:33:55,680 --> 01:33:57,360
Speaker 1: used on game day that actually have come in and

1884
01:33:57,439 --> 01:34:01,560
Speaker 1: taken snaps for him, it's a huge, huge difference. And

1885
01:34:01,720 --> 01:34:05,800
Speaker 1: I think it's that limited number of guys actually getting

1886
01:34:05,840 --> 01:34:08,640
Speaker 1: on the field for this team and the ability of

1887
01:34:08,680 --> 01:34:12,479
Speaker 1: this team to get young players like Devin Singletary and

1888
01:34:12,560 --> 01:34:17,720
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox to develop. I think it's huge. I think

1889
01:34:17,760 --> 01:34:19,560
Speaker 1: it's I think it's a big part of why this

1890
01:34:19,640 --> 01:34:21,439
Speaker 1: team has gotten better and better over the course of

1891
01:34:21,479 --> 01:34:25,920
Speaker 1: this twelve Yeah, they might be getting another player back

1892
01:34:26,040 --> 01:34:29,559
Speaker 1: because Maddie glab who was watching practice for US today

1893
01:34:30,120 --> 01:34:33,720
Speaker 1: and heard from coach after practice, tie and sack. He

1894
01:34:33,840 --> 01:34:36,840
Speaker 1: did practice today. I don't know what his designation was,

1895
01:34:37,000 --> 01:34:39,800
Speaker 1: or an intrigue goal participant or a limited participant, but

1896
01:34:39,920 --> 01:34:44,360
Speaker 1: he was back at practice today. Coach after practice said

1897
01:34:44,400 --> 01:34:46,120
Speaker 1: they'll see how the rest of the week goes to

1898
01:34:46,200 --> 01:34:48,880
Speaker 1: determine whether or not he is up on Sunday or not.

1899
01:34:49,720 --> 01:34:52,800
Speaker 1: I think the good news is this almost ensures that

1900
01:34:52,960 --> 01:34:55,560
Speaker 1: he will be back for the postseason, which is a

1901
01:34:55,680 --> 01:34:58,080
Speaker 1: valuable piece to add to that offensive line. We're going

1902
01:34:58,160 --> 01:35:00,320
Speaker 1: to talk about that and more. It's two o'clock hour.

1903
01:35:00,360 --> 01:35:02,679
Speaker 1: We're gonna start the final hour of the show. Steve Tasker,

Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz continues to deal with

1910
01:35:30,320 --> 01:35:33,679
Speaker 1: a rib injury. Coach Doug Peterson said Thursday that Ertz

1911
01:35:33,680 --> 01:35:35,880
Speaker 1: would sit out of practice, but noted the tight ends

1912
01:35:35,960 --> 01:35:39,439
Speaker 1: progressing in hopes of playing in Sunday's season finale against

1913
01:35:39,479 --> 01:35:42,639
Speaker 1: the New York Giants. Running Back Jordan Howard is meeting

1914
01:35:42,720 --> 01:35:45,200
Speaker 1: with doctors today and hopes he's cleared for contact. The

1915
01:35:45,320 --> 01:35:47,720
Speaker 1: running back hasn't played since November third due to a

1916
01:35:47,840 --> 01:35:52,760
Speaker 1: shoulder injury. Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said quarterback Dak Prescott

1917
01:35:52,760 --> 01:35:55,320
Speaker 1: will be limited in practice with a shoulder injury. Dallas

1918

1921
01:36:06,160 --> 01:36:09,879
Speaker 1: of Thursday's practice. Both backs missed the Vikings week sixteen

1922
01:36:09,960 --> 01:36:13,400
Speaker 1: loss to the Packers. Raiders running back Josh Jacobs underwent

1923
01:36:13,479 --> 01:36:18,040
Speaker 1: surgery Wednesday, according to posts on his Instagram story. Jacobs

1924
01:36:18,120 --> 01:36:20,040
Speaker 1: has missed two of the raiders last three games with

1925
01:36:20,120 --> 01:36:23,000
Speaker 1: a fractured right shoulder, and the rookie running back ranks

1926

Speaker 1: eighth in the NFL this season with eleven hundred and

1927
01:36:25,320 --> 01:36:29,880
Speaker 1: fifty rushing yards despite playing in only thirteen games. The

1928

Speaker 1: Raiders are still alive for the postseason entering the final

1929
01:36:32,880 --> 01:36:35,400
Speaker 1: weekend of the season, but they need a lot of help.

Speaker 1: The IHF World Junior Championship began today in the Czech Republic.

1931

1933
01:36:46,360 --> 01:36:49,080
Speaker 1: James aggravated a nagging groin injury and could miss some

1934
01:36:49,200 --> 01:36:52,599
Speaker 1: time moving forward for the Lakers. James collided with Patrick

1935
01:36:52,680 --> 01:36:54,679

1939
01:37:04,280 --> 01:37:07,120
Speaker 1: Jets game coming up, the playoffs scenario. We're getting questions

1940
01:37:07,240 --> 01:37:10,280
Speaker 1: and our question answered from you as to what question

1941
01:37:10,920 --> 01:37:13,320
Speaker 1: you want answered as the Bills head into the playoffs?

1942
01:37:13,320 --> 01:37:15,960
Speaker 1: And that makes sense, it didn't, but it's a little convoluted.

1943
01:37:16,400 --> 01:37:18,639
Speaker 1: You got there. What question do you want answered before

1944
01:37:18,680 --> 01:37:21,160
Speaker 1: the Bill's head in or as they head into the playoffs.

1945

1951

Speaker 1: on your mind? Steve fell asleep on the line of

1952
01:37:40,640 --> 01:37:43,720
Speaker 1: Steve Steve, he was holding up. I gotta I gotta

1953
01:37:43,720 --> 01:37:45,320
Speaker 1: be honest with you. He was holding for over an hour,

1954
01:37:45,400 --> 01:37:48,439
Speaker 1: so I'm gone, probably long gone. Thanks anyway, Steve, We'll

1955

Speaker 1: What's on your mind? Dan? Are you there New York?

1958
01:37:59,160 --> 01:38:03,120
Speaker 1: H Yeah, I'm hoping that they don't play Josh Allen

1959
01:38:03,200 --> 01:38:05,880
Speaker 1: in this game. You know, the guy that took our

1960
01:38:06,000 --> 01:38:09,799
Speaker 1: kicker out last year. Our kicker hasn't been the same since,

1961
01:38:10,680 --> 01:38:13,679
Speaker 1: and then the same guy gave a couple of cheap

1962
01:38:13,760 --> 01:38:18,400
Speaker 1: shots to Josh Ellen and this year, I'm pretty concerned

1963
01:38:18,439 --> 01:38:20,479
Speaker 1: about that guy being on the field with any of

1964
01:38:20,520 --> 01:38:24,760
Speaker 1: our first stringers. Yeah. Fortunately, Henry Anderson's the guy you're

1965
01:38:24,800 --> 01:38:27,600
Speaker 1: talking about, the defensive end who is known as a

1966
01:38:27,680 --> 01:38:30,080
Speaker 1: cheap shot artist and has some history against the Bills.

1967
01:38:31,320 --> 01:38:34,559
Speaker 1: After he hit Ryan Lindell. I was going to say,

1968
01:38:34,960 --> 01:38:38,839
Speaker 1: after he hit Stephen Houshka from behind on a turnover

1969
01:38:38,960 --> 01:38:43,400
Speaker 1: play last year and injured Houshka, and then yeah, he

1970
01:38:43,479 --> 01:38:45,840
Speaker 1: took a cheap shot at Josh. Fortunately it didn't result

1971
01:38:45,880 --> 01:38:49,240
Speaker 1: an injury. Back in Week one, Anderson's nursing an injury

1972
01:38:49,280 --> 01:38:51,840
Speaker 1: of his own, so a little bit of karma there.

1973
01:38:51,920 --> 01:38:55,280
Speaker 1: I'm assuming he will be up in play. We'll have

1974
01:38:55,320 --> 01:38:57,880
Speaker 1: to see what the Jets injury report says today, but

1975
01:38:58,280 --> 01:39:01,120
Speaker 1: he's dealing with an injury himself. Whether or not that

1976
01:39:01,280 --> 01:39:03,679
Speaker 1: keeps him from acting like a jerk on the field,

1977
01:39:03,720 --> 01:39:08,280
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I understand the concern, and you know,

1978
01:39:08,360 --> 01:39:11,080
Speaker 1: Coach McDermott kind of talked about that earlier in the

1979
01:39:11,160 --> 01:39:13,719
Speaker 1: week where he said, yeah, we're weighing all of those things.

1980
01:39:14,040 --> 01:39:19,640
Speaker 1: We're weighing injury, we're weighing staying sharp with our execution,

1981
01:39:20,439 --> 01:39:22,560
Speaker 1: and we're weighing flat out rest at the end of

1982
01:39:22,600 --> 01:39:25,200
Speaker 1: the season when a lot of guys need it, quite frankly,

1983
01:39:25,800 --> 01:39:29,040
Speaker 1: so we can go into the playoffs fresh. It's a

1984
01:39:29,080 --> 01:39:32,320
Speaker 1: difficult balance and I don't know if there's a one

1985
01:39:32,479 --> 01:39:37,679
Speaker 1: perfect formula for it, but I'll say this, when Coach

1986
01:39:37,800 --> 01:39:41,560
Speaker 1: McDermott said a majority of the guys will play, I

1987
01:39:41,760 --> 01:39:46,280
Speaker 1: was okay with it, especially for the offensive players, including Josh, because,

1988
01:39:46,640 --> 01:39:49,760
Speaker 1: as we've discussed for most of this show, I think

1989
01:39:49,840 --> 01:39:53,040
Speaker 1: there is an element of consistency that is still missing

1990
01:39:53,120 --> 01:39:56,960
Speaker 1: from the offense, and I think they can benefit even

1991
01:39:57,120 --> 01:39:59,600
Speaker 1: if you only have them out there for three or

1992
01:39:59,640 --> 01:40:04,000
Speaker 1: four possessions. I think just getting those reps in in

1993
01:40:04,120 --> 01:40:08,519
Speaker 1: a live regular season setting is beneficial for them going

1994
01:40:08,560 --> 01:40:11,439
Speaker 1: into the playoffs, as opposed to not stepping on the

1995
01:40:11,520 --> 01:40:14,439
Speaker 1: field in any way, shape or form and then coming

1996
01:40:14,479 --> 01:40:17,479
Speaker 1: back two weeks removed from the New England game and saying,

1997
01:40:17,800 --> 01:40:20,760
Speaker 1: all right, let's be on point here, go get them right.

1998
01:40:20,840 --> 01:40:23,160
Speaker 1: What do you think? I agree, there's there's something to

1999
01:40:23,240 --> 01:40:25,160
Speaker 1: be said. And I told you this early in the week.

2000
01:40:25,160 --> 01:40:26,800
Speaker 1: I didn't know if they would play him or not,

2001
01:40:26,920 --> 01:40:29,200
Speaker 1: and this before the announcement was made. I know this.

2002
01:40:30,200 --> 01:40:32,920
Speaker 1: You certainly don't stop practicing. You know, you've got to

2003
01:40:33,080 --> 01:40:36,360
Speaker 1: You've got to keep you know, preparing for it. I

2004
01:40:36,400 --> 01:40:38,120
Speaker 1: don't know how much the live reps are gonna make

2005
01:40:38,120 --> 01:40:39,680
Speaker 1: because I'm telling you this. And we've got another call

2006
01:40:39,760 --> 01:40:42,000
Speaker 1: coming up as well about people asking about what the

2007
01:40:42,080 --> 01:40:43,600
Speaker 1: game plan would be in a game like this. This

2008
01:40:43,760 --> 01:40:45,519
Speaker 1: is game plan is going to be completely different than

2009
01:40:45,520 --> 01:40:47,439
Speaker 1: the one they're gonna have in two weeks against Houston

2010
01:40:47,560 --> 01:40:49,599
Speaker 1: or Kansas City. It's gonna be a different one they

2011
01:40:49,640 --> 01:40:53,400
Speaker 1: have if they're lucky enough to win against Baltimore, New England,

2012
01:40:53,439 --> 01:40:56,400
Speaker 1: whichever whoever wins those games or whoever you advances, So

2013
01:40:56,960 --> 01:41:03,200
Speaker 1: it is no doubt. Um, you know, it's part of

2014
01:41:03,240 --> 01:41:06,800
Speaker 1: the routine of going into preparing, but you know with

2015
01:41:06,880 --> 01:41:09,240
Speaker 1: a particularly offensively like you said, you need these guys

2016
01:41:09,280 --> 01:41:11,240
Speaker 1: to take reps. Dawson Knocks alluded to it when he

2017
01:41:11,320 --> 01:41:12,960
Speaker 1: was here just at the bottom of the last hour.

2018
01:41:13,080 --> 01:41:15,400
Speaker 1: Is it, Listen, the reps really count, they really matter.

2019
01:41:15,720 --> 01:41:18,680
Speaker 1: And I think it's coaching staff agrees with you. Right Well,

2020
01:41:18,880 --> 01:41:20,960
Speaker 1: I'm assuming that. I don't know that, but I just

2021
01:41:21,080 --> 01:41:25,720
Speaker 1: think that there's there's some some benefit in getting them

2022
01:41:25,760 --> 01:41:27,640
Speaker 1: on the field. And there's a mindset thing here too,

2023
01:41:27,800 --> 01:41:30,920
Speaker 1: isn't there Steve. I mean, if you're the starting quarterback

2024
01:41:31,800 --> 01:41:34,840
Speaker 1: and your coaching staff comes up to you and says

2025
01:41:35,040 --> 01:41:39,920
Speaker 1: on Tuesday, this week, hey, you know you're not playing

2026
01:41:40,000 --> 01:41:43,120
Speaker 1: this week. You're you're going to be the backup. You know,

2027
01:41:43,240 --> 01:41:46,160
Speaker 1: are you right? Your mindset, human nature, your mindset just

2028
01:41:46,360 --> 01:41:49,680
Speaker 1: changes a little bit. You know, you're not you're not

2029
01:41:49,800 --> 01:41:52,800
Speaker 1: on a high alert, you know, every day getting ready

2030
01:41:52,840 --> 01:41:55,479
Speaker 1: for the game. And I don't think that coach wants

2031
01:41:55,560 --> 01:41:58,439
Speaker 1: any of his players to get away from that mode.

2032
01:41:58,640 --> 01:42:01,439
Speaker 1: That we're alert every day because that's when you show

2033
01:42:01,520 --> 01:42:03,640
Speaker 1: up next in your flat, you know, right, show up

2034
01:42:04,680 --> 01:42:06,680
Speaker 1: trying to protect against that too a little bit. It's

2035
01:42:06,800 --> 01:42:09,519
Speaker 1: it's where you're ad mentally. I think that makes the difference.

2036
01:42:09,560 --> 01:42:12,200
Speaker 1: Let's take another call, Patrick in Los Angeles. Patrick here

2037
01:42:12,240 --> 01:42:15,160
Speaker 1: on with Steven Brownie. What's on your mind? Hey, thanks

2038
01:42:15,160 --> 01:42:17,560
Speaker 1: for taking my call. Guys. Sure, I just feel like

2039
01:42:18,320 --> 01:42:19,920
Speaker 1: the Bills are in a good place and I want

2040
01:42:20,000 --> 01:42:23,200
Speaker 1: the fans to stop being so negative on Twitter. I

2041
01:42:23,320 --> 01:42:25,280
Speaker 1: feel like day ball is holding back a little bit,

2042
01:42:25,320 --> 01:42:28,280
Speaker 1: and I think we saw that in the New England game. Um,

2043
01:42:28,479 --> 01:42:30,960
Speaker 1: there's a couple of plays where Allen just didn't see

2044
01:42:31,040 --> 01:42:33,160
Speaker 1: the right read. There was another one where Brown could

2045
01:42:33,160 --> 01:42:35,080
Speaker 1: have had another long touchdown that was brought up on

2046
01:42:35,160 --> 01:42:38,720
Speaker 1: Twitter where he was wide open and Burne Gilmore and Um.

2047
01:42:38,760 --> 01:42:41,320
Speaker 1: I also want to say that losing the Jets game

2048
01:42:41,400 --> 01:42:44,439
Speaker 1: actually helps the Bills. It will improve the draft pick

2049
01:42:44,600 --> 01:42:48,240
Speaker 1: and it will also let it will lower the Jets

2050
01:42:48,320 --> 01:42:51,880
Speaker 1: draft pick. So just you know, I'll hang up and listen. Yeah, yeah,

2051
01:42:51,920 --> 01:42:54,679
Speaker 1: I'm not really worried about moving up or down one position.

2052
01:42:55,080 --> 01:42:56,840
Speaker 1: You're gonna be down in the low. You're gonna be

2053
01:42:56,840 --> 01:43:00,320
Speaker 1: down in the twenties. Um. And I think Brandon being

2054
01:43:00,360 --> 01:43:03,559
Speaker 1: has shown you his ability to move around the board

2055
01:43:03,600 --> 01:43:08,040
Speaker 1: pretty seamlessly via trade, and whether he stands pat or

2056
01:43:08,080 --> 01:43:11,080
Speaker 1: he moves around on the whole, he's picked the right

2057
01:43:11,120 --> 01:43:13,800
Speaker 1: guy anyway. So where you're picking, I think matters a

2058
01:43:13,840 --> 01:43:15,679
Speaker 1: whole lot less now than it used to be. Yeah,

2059
01:43:15,720 --> 01:43:18,080
Speaker 1: I agree. I think I'm not too worried about what's

2060
01:43:18,120 --> 01:43:19,800
Speaker 1: going to happen with draft order and all that so

2061
01:43:19,920 --> 01:43:22,680
Speaker 1: much as it is out of your hands as an organization.

2062
01:43:22,760 --> 01:43:24,320
Speaker 1: But and I do trust that they're going to have

2063
01:43:24,400 --> 01:43:26,880
Speaker 1: a you know, a plan going into that draft, no

2064
01:43:26,960 --> 01:43:29,640
Speaker 1: matter where they're drafting. Plus this, for me, this is

2065
01:43:29,680 --> 01:43:32,960
Speaker 1: about this run this year. Never bail out on an

2066
01:43:32,960 --> 01:43:35,120
Speaker 1: opportunity to get into the playoffs and make a run

2067
01:43:35,160 --> 01:43:37,160
Speaker 1: and maybe get deep and go to the super Bowl

2068
01:43:37,240 --> 01:43:39,400
Speaker 1: and win that thing and all of that stuff. Never

2069
01:43:40,120 --> 01:43:42,280
Speaker 1: never think that this year, while you were just happy

2070
01:43:42,320 --> 01:43:44,840
Speaker 1: to be and we don't really know, make a run.

2071
01:43:45,040 --> 01:43:46,720
Speaker 1: And that's the way you've got to be. That's why

2072
01:43:46,840 --> 01:43:49,120
Speaker 1: being sharp when you head into that first playoff game

2073
01:43:49,200 --> 01:43:51,560
Speaker 1: is so important. And I think that's why some of

2074
01:43:51,680 --> 01:43:53,479
Speaker 1: what we've been talking about here in the last minute

2075
01:43:53,520 --> 01:43:55,880
Speaker 1: or two is so important going into this week. You

2076
01:43:56,080 --> 01:43:59,400
Speaker 1: gotta stay with your You got to keep your nose

2077
01:43:59,439 --> 01:44:02,040
Speaker 1: on the grind stone, headed in there. And that's the

2078
01:44:02,080 --> 01:44:05,600
Speaker 1: way coach McDermot kind of operates as a matter of philosophy.

2079
01:44:05,680 --> 01:44:08,040
Speaker 1: Before you pick up that next phone call, just really

2080
01:44:08,120 --> 01:44:09,760
Speaker 1: quick from the tweets you because I wanted to get

2081
01:44:09,800 --> 01:44:12,240
Speaker 1: this one out from Corrigan Moving Systems, this one from Nick.

2082
01:44:12,600 --> 01:44:15,680
Speaker 1: Can the Bills beat a top tier team? That's the

2083
01:44:15,800 --> 01:44:18,960
Speaker 1: question he wants answered as the Bills head into the playoffs.

2084
01:44:19,160 --> 01:44:21,280
Speaker 1: We came so close, and we're so competitive against the

2085
01:44:21,320 --> 01:44:23,880
Speaker 1: Pats and Ravens, but we have yet to actually beat

2086
01:44:24,000 --> 01:44:26,439
Speaker 1: any of the elite teams in the NFL. I'm very

2087
01:44:26,520 --> 01:44:29,200
Speaker 1: optimistic for the future, but I really want to see

2088
01:44:29,280 --> 01:44:31,599
Speaker 1: us knock off an AFC powerhouse. That's a really good

2089
01:44:31,720 --> 01:44:34,960
Speaker 1: That's a good question, and he's right, certainly, we play

2090
01:44:35,040 --> 01:44:37,599
Speaker 1: We went in. The Bills went in played really well

2091
01:44:37,640 --> 01:44:40,639
Speaker 1: against Dallas at a time when Dallas thought, you thought,

2092
01:44:40,680 --> 01:44:44,200
Speaker 1: and maybe the Dallas Cowboys would beat one of those

2093
01:44:44,240 --> 01:44:46,639
Speaker 1: teams that we're gonna buy for a high playoff spot.

2094
01:44:46,640 --> 01:44:50,240
Speaker 1: Now they're struggling to win their division. You got in again.

2095
01:44:50,360 --> 01:44:53,000
Speaker 1: You beat Pittsburgh, but Pittsburgh was the same kind of game.

2096
01:44:53,320 --> 01:44:56,280
Speaker 1: New England Baltimore. You couldn't get it done. I couldn't

2097
01:44:56,280 --> 01:44:58,679
Speaker 1: get it done against the Browns and the Eagles hate

2098
01:44:58,720 --> 01:45:00,840
Speaker 1: your right in the mouth. You know that's the real

2099
01:45:01,200 --> 01:45:03,599
Speaker 1: that's the real one black eye this entire schedule has

2100
01:45:04,560 --> 01:45:07,080
Speaker 1: and it's only one. But that's a good question. You'd

2101
01:45:07,160 --> 01:45:10,599
Speaker 1: like to see this team pull one of those one

2102
01:45:10,680 --> 01:45:12,680
Speaker 1: score games out against an elite. It's been on the

2103
01:45:12,800 --> 01:45:15,120
Speaker 1: razor's edge at the end with some of those teams,

2104
01:45:15,200 --> 01:45:16,760
Speaker 1: but haven't been able to get over the hump. And

2105
01:45:16,880 --> 01:45:18,640
Speaker 1: that's the hump they got to get over, especially if

2106
01:45:18,680 --> 01:45:21,400
Speaker 1: they want to make a run here. They lost to

2107
01:45:21,400 --> 01:45:23,760
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens seventeen to twenty four. They lost to

2108
01:45:23,760 --> 01:45:26,160
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots seventeen to twenty four. Both those

2109
01:45:26,200 --> 01:45:29,000
Speaker 1: games are identical losses. One was at home, one was

2110
01:45:29,080 --> 01:45:31,240
Speaker 1: on the road, and that's you know, those are the

2111
01:45:31,280 --> 01:45:34,040
Speaker 1: teams you need to get around. You need to get around.

2112
01:45:34,080 --> 01:45:35,720
Speaker 1: I think I said it earlier when Thurman was on

2113
01:45:35,760 --> 01:45:38,240
Speaker 1: the show earlier today, they're gonna go as far as

2114
01:45:38,280 --> 01:45:41,240
Speaker 1: this offense goes. If their offense can catch lightning in

2115
01:45:41,280 --> 01:45:43,960
Speaker 1: a bottle. Even for one game, they're gonna win. They're

2116
01:45:43,960 --> 01:45:47,280
Speaker 1: gonna win that game. If they get an unexpected touchdown,

2117
01:45:47,760 --> 01:45:49,439
Speaker 1: they're gonna win the game. They're gonna win that game.

2118
01:45:50,240 --> 01:45:52,280
Speaker 1: They're gonna win that game. That's the kind of defense

2119
01:45:52,320 --> 01:45:57,559
Speaker 1: you've got here. Yeah. So yeah, that's that's how close

2120
01:45:57,600 --> 01:46:01,280
Speaker 1: they are to being better than anybody else they're going

2121
01:46:01,320 --> 01:46:03,120
Speaker 1: to play in these playoffs. All right, let's get back

2122
01:46:03,120 --> 01:46:04,519
Speaker 1: to the phone. All right, here, we will take one

2123
01:46:04,520 --> 01:46:06,160
Speaker 1: more call. They we're gonna do what's for lunch. This

2124
01:46:06,360 --> 01:46:10,760
Speaker 1: is a call from Dave in Florida. Dave, you've got

2125
01:46:10,800 --> 01:46:12,560
Speaker 1: something to say about Tie and Seki getting healthy for

2126
01:46:12,640 --> 01:46:15,200
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Go ahead, Yes, I am. I want to

2127
01:46:15,240 --> 01:46:18,639
Speaker 1: know if I see he's on back on a practice field,

2128
01:46:18,680 --> 01:46:22,080
Speaker 1: I went off, he's gonna be ready for the playoffs. Yeah.

2129
01:46:22,160 --> 01:46:26,240
Speaker 1: So what coach told us today after practice because he

2130
01:46:26,400 --> 01:46:28,240
Speaker 1: was asked is he going to be up on Sunday?

2131
01:46:28,960 --> 01:46:31,160
Speaker 1: And he said, we haven't made that determination yet. We're

2132
01:46:31,160 --> 01:46:33,759
Speaker 1: gonna have to see what kind of progress he makes. Again,

2133
01:46:33,960 --> 01:46:36,439
Speaker 1: I think this is a decision that has to be

2134
01:46:36,600 --> 01:46:41,360
Speaker 1: made as to how with the amount of time that

2135
01:46:41,439 --> 01:46:44,000
Speaker 1: Inseci has had off. He's been out since Week eleven,

2136
01:46:44,200 --> 01:46:45,760
Speaker 1: so he's been out for a month and a half.

2137
01:46:46,520 --> 01:46:49,640
Speaker 1: I would like to think that if they feel he

2138
01:46:49,880 --> 01:46:52,720
Speaker 1: is healthy enough and capable, that they put him out

2139
01:46:52,760 --> 01:46:56,479
Speaker 1: there for some reps on Sunday so he can kind

2140
01:46:56,520 --> 01:46:59,920
Speaker 1: of get knocked the rust off, get back up to speed,

2141
01:47:00,160 --> 01:47:02,599
Speaker 1: because that's a long layoff. You're off, you're out six weeks,

2142
01:47:02,640 --> 01:47:05,080
Speaker 1: and he'd come back to regular season football, it's like whoa.

2143
01:47:05,479 --> 01:47:08,599
Speaker 1: Then if his first game back is playoff football, there's

2144
01:47:08,600 --> 01:47:12,439
Speaker 1: another notch there, right. So I would tend to think

2145
01:47:12,520 --> 01:47:15,120
Speaker 1: that if they believe he's good to go, they will

2146
01:47:15,160 --> 01:47:18,160
Speaker 1: try to get him some playing time on Sunday so

2147
01:47:18,320 --> 01:47:20,720
Speaker 1: that he's all the more prepared and kind of back

2148
01:47:20,800 --> 01:47:22,720
Speaker 1: into the swing and has knocked the rustoff so he's

2149
01:47:22,720 --> 01:47:25,000
Speaker 1: ready for the postseason. That's how I think it'll play out.

2150
01:47:25,000 --> 01:47:27,160
Speaker 1: But we're gonna have to probably wait until tomorrow when

2151
01:47:27,200 --> 01:47:30,160
Speaker 1: the final designations come out. If he's listed as questionable,

2152
01:47:30,680 --> 01:47:34,200
Speaker 1: it's probably less likely that he's going to see time

2153
01:47:34,240 --> 01:47:35,920
Speaker 1: on Sunday. They'll just wait and get him ready for

2154
01:47:35,960 --> 01:47:38,960
Speaker 1: the playoff game. But if he's not questionable, and you

2155
01:47:39,040 --> 01:47:41,760
Speaker 1: know he's taken off the injury report. Yeah, I think

2156
01:47:41,800 --> 01:47:43,680
Speaker 1: he gets sprinkled in for some playing time just to

2157
01:47:43,720 --> 01:47:46,080
Speaker 1: get him back up to speed. Yeah he's not. Listen,

2158
01:47:46,280 --> 01:47:50,559
Speaker 1: He's still the guy's thirty four years old, so it's

2159
01:47:50,600 --> 01:47:52,920
Speaker 1: not like he's you know, he's young though he doesn't

2160
01:47:52,960 --> 01:47:54,519
Speaker 1: have a lot of games under his belt. It's a

2161
01:47:54,560 --> 01:47:56,400
Speaker 1: young thirty. But we knew this going in, and I

2162
01:47:56,479 --> 01:47:58,679
Speaker 1: thought we were saying this the full half of the season.

2163
01:47:58,760 --> 01:48:02,400
Speaker 1: Thanks for the call, Dave, appreciate appreciate it. But Titus

2164
01:48:02,560 --> 01:48:04,599
Speaker 1: and Secki was a guy, and I think this offensive

2165
01:48:04,640 --> 01:48:06,760
Speaker 1: line was better with him in there. I'll say that.

2166
01:48:07,160 --> 01:48:10,160
Speaker 1: Now Cody Ford has taken some strides, no question about it.

2167
01:48:11,240 --> 01:48:13,599
Speaker 1: But when in Seki was at right tackle and Ford

2168
01:48:13,680 --> 01:48:16,040
Speaker 1: was at right guard, I felt they ran the football

2169
01:48:16,080 --> 01:48:18,680
Speaker 1: a lot better than they have recently. And I'll say

2170
01:48:18,720 --> 01:48:21,439
Speaker 1: this too. I knew then too. They were just trying

2171
01:48:21,479 --> 01:48:24,400
Speaker 1: to get Insecki to this point. He was taking days

2172
01:48:24,439 --> 01:48:27,240
Speaker 1: off early in the season. He was they were nursing

2173
01:48:27,360 --> 01:48:30,439
Speaker 1: him along. They didn't right, and they were doing it

2174
01:48:30,960 --> 01:48:33,040
Speaker 1: double with him because he was it was bothering his

2175
01:48:33,120 --> 01:48:34,920
Speaker 1: knee was bothering him and it was now he got

2176
01:48:34,960 --> 01:48:37,840
Speaker 1: his ankle rolled on. So they are just happy he's

2177
01:48:37,960 --> 01:48:40,840
Speaker 1: here and hopefully one hundred percent for these playoff games.

2178
01:48:40,880 --> 01:48:42,800
Speaker 1: And I think if they do get him back in

2179
01:48:42,880 --> 01:48:45,920
Speaker 1: and get him some reps uh this week, I think

2180
01:48:45,960 --> 01:48:48,360
Speaker 1: you can bet he'll be on the field, particularly against

2181
01:48:48,400 --> 01:48:50,479
Speaker 1: the Houston team with JJ Watt back in the lineup,

2182
01:48:50,800 --> 01:48:53,400
Speaker 1: So all that is on the table and he's it's

2183
01:48:53,680 --> 01:48:55,360
Speaker 1: It's a good way to look at him too. I

2184
01:48:55,439 --> 01:48:59,240
Speaker 1: think they're getting better, They're getting healthier at this point

2185
01:48:59,560 --> 01:49:01,160
Speaker 1: with some of the players that have helped him a

2186
01:49:01,240 --> 01:49:03,320
Speaker 1: great deal in the in the regular season. You want

2187
01:49:03,320 --> 01:49:05,160
Speaker 1: to do what's for lunch with us? Yeah, let's do it,

2188
01:49:05,320 --> 01:49:07,639
Speaker 1: all right, what's fun here? You're gonna pick some things

2189
01:49:07,680 --> 01:49:10,640
Speaker 1: off the menu and um and see if we can

2190
01:49:11,439 --> 01:49:13,080
Speaker 1: see what you like and see what I like. All Right,

2191
01:49:13,080 --> 01:49:16,519
Speaker 1: you got some some questions come down to two choices

2192
01:49:16,560 --> 01:49:18,800
Speaker 1: on each question. And here's what it is for most

2193
01:49:19,000 --> 01:49:22,560
Speaker 1: most NFL's most disappointing team in twenty nineteen. Are you

2194
01:49:23,120 --> 01:49:26,960
Speaker 1: taking the Rams or the Browns as the most disappointing

2195
01:49:26,960 --> 01:49:28,880
Speaker 1: team in the NFL? Yeah, I mean I would say

2196
01:49:28,920 --> 01:49:31,720
Speaker 1: outside perception, it's got to be the Browns. Everybody had

2197
01:49:31,760 --> 01:49:35,280
Speaker 1: the Browns in the Super Bowl U in March or April,

2198
01:49:35,920 --> 01:49:39,639
Speaker 1: and I was not on that train. I just thought

2199
01:49:39,680 --> 01:49:41,720
Speaker 1: there were too many new pieces coming together with a

2200
01:49:41,800 --> 01:49:44,280
Speaker 1: brand new head coach who hadn't done it before, and

2201
01:49:44,760 --> 01:49:47,760
Speaker 1: league history tells you those teams typically do not make

2202
01:49:47,800 --> 01:49:49,600
Speaker 1: the playoffs. So I thought they were going to be

2203
01:49:49,640 --> 01:49:52,240
Speaker 1: around a five hundred team, and that's what they've proven

2204
01:49:52,280 --> 01:49:54,880
Speaker 1: to be. So I will go with the Rams only

2205
01:49:54,960 --> 01:49:59,599
Speaker 1: because even though the NFC West proved to be maybe

2206
01:49:59,640 --> 01:50:01,800
Speaker 1: the tough his division top to bottom in the National

2207
01:50:01,840 --> 01:50:04,760
Speaker 1: Football League this year, I still thought they could be

2208
01:50:04,880 --> 01:50:07,840
Speaker 1: better than that. Now, in their defense, they've had they

2209
01:50:07,920 --> 01:50:11,080
Speaker 1: have had some pretty critical injuries. Robert Woods is miss time,

2210
01:50:11,120 --> 01:50:14,839
Speaker 1: Cooper Cups miss time, so you know they've been fighting

2211
01:50:14,920 --> 01:50:16,519
Speaker 1: that all year. They didn't know what to do with

2212
01:50:16,640 --> 01:50:19,320
Speaker 1: Gurley and how soon to work them, how long to

2213
01:50:19,400 --> 01:50:22,479
Speaker 1: wait all of that jazz. But they should have been

2214
01:50:22,560 --> 01:50:24,200
Speaker 1: better than where they are. So I'm going with the

2215
01:50:24,280 --> 01:50:26,400
Speaker 1: Rams online. I'm gonna take the Browns because of the

2216
01:50:26,560 --> 01:50:28,840
Speaker 1: expectations attached to them and the fact that the Rams

2217
01:50:28,880 --> 01:50:30,599
Speaker 1: were in the Super Bowl last year after a long

2218
01:50:31,920 --> 01:50:34,800
Speaker 1: after just kind of getting back in the saddle. I

2219
01:50:35,080 --> 01:50:37,360
Speaker 1: know how hard it is to get back to the

2220
01:50:37,400 --> 01:50:39,519
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. And if that's what your expectations are now,

2221
01:50:39,560 --> 01:50:40,880
Speaker 1: I don't know if they expected if we get back

2222
01:50:40,880 --> 01:50:42,960
Speaker 1: to the super Bowl. I thought they'd be more than

2223
01:50:43,040 --> 01:50:46,960
Speaker 1: a game over five hundred. Yeah. Yeah, I remember watching

2224
01:50:47,000 --> 01:50:48,840
Speaker 1: that Monday night game when the Ravens went out there

2225
01:50:48,880 --> 01:50:51,000
Speaker 1: to play them. I mean, it wasn't even a game.

2226
01:50:51,720 --> 01:50:54,240
Speaker 1: It's like the Ravens were playing chess and Rams were

2227
01:50:54,280 --> 01:50:58,040
Speaker 1: playing checkers. It's forty five to six. I mean, think

2228
01:50:58,040 --> 01:51:00,880
Speaker 1: about the Bills team and how they played him. It's

2229
01:51:00,920 --> 01:51:03,400
Speaker 1: not like the Rams don't have a defense. Do you

2230
01:51:03,479 --> 01:51:06,760
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying? I know, like five to six.

2231
01:51:07,000 --> 01:51:09,800
Speaker 1: That's emotional, man, That's that's not a physical loss. That's

2232
01:51:10,360 --> 01:51:12,400
Speaker 1: a loss that you didn't show up to play. Yeah.

2233
01:51:12,479 --> 01:51:14,599
Speaker 1: So I'm taking the Browns. You're taking the Rams, all right?

2234
01:51:14,680 --> 01:51:18,280
Speaker 1: Next thing on the menu for what's for lunch? NFL's Wait,

2235
01:51:18,320 --> 01:51:20,320
Speaker 1: who's gonna have more of an impact on their return?

2236
01:51:20,439 --> 01:51:22,439
Speaker 1: Is it gonna be Jj Watt for the Houston Texans

2237
01:51:22,520 --> 01:51:25,840
Speaker 1: or Marshawn Lynch for the Seattle Seahawks. Yeah, I'm talking

2238
01:51:25,880 --> 01:51:28,240
Speaker 1: about We're talking about I think we're gonna stick it

2239
01:51:28,320 --> 01:51:30,920
Speaker 1: to this weekend. Don't say long term, but because J J.

2240
01:51:31,080 --> 01:51:32,960
Speaker 1: Watt may not have to play this weekend very much.

2241
01:51:33,240 --> 01:51:37,719
Speaker 1: Marshawn Lynch Oh the playoffs, Okay, throughout the playoffs, who's

2242
01:51:37,720 --> 01:51:40,519
Speaker 1: gonna have the bigger Who's gonna have the bigger impact?

2243
01:51:40,640 --> 01:51:44,120
Speaker 1: JJ Watt or Marshawn Lynch. So we're going with a

2244
01:51:44,240 --> 01:51:50,240
Speaker 1: rehabbing guy and a couch potato who spend two weeks

2245
01:51:50,320 --> 01:51:55,800
Speaker 1: getting into shape with a boxing coach. I don't know

2246
01:51:55,880 --> 01:51:58,120
Speaker 1: if Watt's gonna be right with a torn peck. He's

2247
01:51:58,160 --> 01:52:00,600
Speaker 1: coming back from a torn peck. He doing that so

2248
01:52:00,760 --> 01:52:04,040
Speaker 1: fast he can't be one hundred percent right. He can't

2249
01:52:04,080 --> 01:52:08,960
Speaker 1: be I don't I'm gonna say I don't know who's

2250
01:52:08,960 --> 01:52:13,320
Speaker 1: gonna have a bigger impact. Knowing that the Seahawks have

2251
01:52:13,800 --> 01:52:18,840
Speaker 1: no one at running back left who's healthy, I'm gonna

2252
01:52:18,880 --> 01:52:23,760
Speaker 1: go with Marshawn Lynch um because the opportunity's gonna get Yeah,

2253
01:52:24,360 --> 01:52:26,360
Speaker 1: he's gonna he's gonna have to carry the ball. Well,

2254
01:52:26,680 --> 01:52:28,840
Speaker 1: hopefully he can do it. He's gonna have to carry

2255
01:52:28,840 --> 01:52:31,080
Speaker 1: the ball twenty times. That boxing coach better be really

2256
01:52:31,160 --> 01:52:34,960
Speaker 1: really good, because Marshawn's gonna be really really busy, although

2257
01:52:35,000 --> 01:52:38,479
Speaker 1: they did sign Robert Turbin, also another former Seahawk. UM.

2258
01:52:38,800 --> 01:52:41,760
Speaker 1: But I'm going Marshawn. I'm gonna go with Marshawn as well.

2259
01:52:41,920 --> 01:52:45,719
Speaker 1: I think JJ Watt will come back. He was doing

2260
01:52:46,240 --> 01:52:49,800
Speaker 1: pretty good at the beginning of the season, but you know,

2261
01:52:49,920 --> 01:52:53,280
Speaker 1: j JJ's had trouble staying healthy. There's no there's no

2262
01:52:53,320 --> 01:52:54,880
Speaker 1: reason to think he's gonna be able to stay healthy

2263
01:52:54,920 --> 01:52:57,560
Speaker 1: coming back. Um with a torn pack and all that,

2264
01:52:57,720 --> 01:53:02,040
Speaker 1: and Marshawn Lynch, he's just and I don't know how

2265
01:53:02,080 --> 01:53:03,680
Speaker 1: good a shape he's got to be to have him

2266
01:53:03,720 --> 01:53:05,880
Speaker 1: handing the ball, have him running for take a couple

2267
01:53:05,920 --> 01:53:07,599
Speaker 1: of reps and come over and stand there for a minute.

2268
01:53:07,680 --> 01:53:09,240
Speaker 1: Let Turban take a couple of reps and come back

2269
01:53:09,240 --> 01:53:11,400
Speaker 1: in the game. I think they're gonna feed him the ball. Yeah,

2270
01:53:11,439 --> 01:53:13,760
Speaker 1: So I think he's gonna have a bigger impact, and

2271
01:53:13,880 --> 01:53:16,719
Speaker 1: he doesn't. And they got Russell Wilson. The team's constructed

2272
01:53:16,760 --> 01:53:18,760
Speaker 1: differently than it was back when he left him in

2273
01:53:18,800 --> 01:53:21,640
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen. So I think he's you know, he'll be

2274
01:53:21,680 --> 01:53:23,840
Speaker 1: able to play his role and make a significant contric

2275
01:53:24,720 --> 01:53:27,639
Speaker 1: motivation there on his part too, Like he doesn't say much.

2276
01:53:27,720 --> 01:53:29,320
Speaker 1: But he said one of the reasons he came back,

2277
01:53:29,360 --> 01:53:32,280
Speaker 1: it's because they have unfinished business there and he's referring

2278
01:53:32,320 --> 01:53:34,920
Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl they lost and they didn't hand

2279
01:53:35,040 --> 01:53:38,439
Speaker 1: him the ball. Yeah, all right, another thing for lunch.

2280
01:53:38,439 --> 01:53:40,840
Speaker 1: Who's gonna make the bigger impact in the playoffs as

2281
01:53:40,880 --> 01:53:43,400
Speaker 1: a rookie? Nick Bosa pass rusher for the forty nine

2282
01:53:43,479 --> 01:53:46,840
Speaker 1: ers or DK Metcalf wide receiver for these This is

2283
01:53:46,920 --> 01:53:51,840
Speaker 1: Seattle's easy, this is Bosa for me. Um He's out

2284
01:53:51,880 --> 01:53:56,040
Speaker 1: there every play. Metcalf might get targeted, what four times

2285
01:53:56,080 --> 01:53:59,360
Speaker 1: in the game, maybe five. I mean, he's not even

2286
01:53:59,360 --> 01:54:04,040
Speaker 1: the number one there, So I think, to me, it's

2287
01:54:04,080 --> 01:54:06,280
Speaker 1: gotta people. I think Bosa has a greater chance to

2288
01:54:06,360 --> 01:54:09,000
Speaker 1: have to impact games just by virtue of the position

2289
01:54:09,080 --> 01:54:11,439
Speaker 1: that he plays as opposed to Metcalf. Yeah, so I'm

2290
01:54:11,479 --> 01:54:14,760
Speaker 1: going Bosa. I'm gonna say Bosa too because I can't.

2291
01:54:14,800 --> 01:54:17,360
Speaker 1: I agree with you, because he's gonna be out there,

2292
01:54:17,400 --> 01:54:20,519
Speaker 1: and I think playoffs is a time in the National

2293
01:54:20,560 --> 01:54:25,120
Speaker 1: Football League when defense matters, and he's gonna have something

2294
01:54:25,160 --> 01:54:28,760
Speaker 1: to say about how well the Niners play. And that

2295
01:54:28,960 --> 01:54:33,360
Speaker 1: guy is a beast. He's JJ Watt J J. Watt

2296
01:54:33,400 --> 01:54:35,400
Speaker 1: five years ago when he was defensive MVP. I mean,

2297
01:54:35,440 --> 01:54:38,560
Speaker 1: this guy, Bosa is an amazing athlete. I think he's

2298
01:54:38,600 --> 01:54:40,880
Speaker 1: gonna and like you said, DK, Metcalf is just not

2299
01:54:40,920 --> 01:54:42,880
Speaker 1: gonna get that many opportunities. Yeah, it's time. I mean,

2300
01:54:43,120 --> 01:54:45,839
Speaker 1: the passing game largely goes through Tyler Lockett in Seattle,

2301
01:54:46,600 --> 01:54:49,880
Speaker 1: So I mean it's not like Metcalf I won't to

2302
01:54:49,880 --> 01:54:51,720
Speaker 1: have a chance to, you know, make a big play.

2303
01:54:51,840 --> 01:54:54,640
Speaker 1: He is their field stretcher. But I just don't think

2304
01:54:54,680 --> 01:54:57,440
Speaker 1: he's gonna get as many opportunities as Bosa will to

2305
01:54:57,520 --> 01:55:00,280
Speaker 1: impact the game. All right, all right, so we both

2306
01:55:00,320 --> 01:55:02,520
Speaker 1: take bos out on that one. Another one better way?

2307
01:55:02,560 --> 01:55:04,400
Speaker 1: What's the better way of building a defense? This is

2308
01:55:04,480 --> 01:55:07,000
Speaker 1: the next item on the lunch menu. What's the better

2309
01:55:07,040 --> 01:55:09,960
Speaker 1: way of building a defense? Back to front or front

2310
01:55:10,000 --> 01:55:14,680
Speaker 1: to back? Yeah, this one's more of a quandary. But

2311
01:55:14,920 --> 01:55:17,120
Speaker 1: I thought about this during the break, knowing it was

2312
01:55:17,200 --> 01:55:21,640
Speaker 1: coming up. And I think for me, I think if

2313
01:55:21,640 --> 01:55:26,000
Speaker 1: you talked about football twenty years ago, you would have

2314
01:55:26,000 --> 01:55:28,680
Speaker 1: said front to back. It wouldn't have even been a question, right,

2315
01:55:29,240 --> 01:55:31,480
Speaker 1: But I think I've flipped on it. I think I'm

2316
01:55:31,600 --> 01:55:35,640
Speaker 1: back to front because you look at the best defenses

2317
01:55:35,760 --> 01:55:43,560
Speaker 1: in football. Okay, the best ones in football this year. Okay, Baltimore, Buffalo, Baltimore, Buffalo,

2318
01:55:43,720 --> 01:55:46,040
Speaker 1: New England. Is there a premier pass rusher on any

2319
01:55:46,120 --> 01:55:48,880
Speaker 1: one of those defenses? There isn't, But there's a premier

2320
01:55:48,960 --> 01:55:51,560
Speaker 1: corner on every one of them got a corner and

2321
01:55:51,720 --> 01:55:54,760
Speaker 1: Baltimore has three. We had this new thing in this offseason,

2322
01:55:54,760 --> 01:55:56,320
Speaker 1: when Murph and I were sitting here talking about the

2323
01:55:56,400 --> 01:56:00,520
Speaker 1: same things every day for four months. We had this analytics.

2324
01:56:00,600 --> 01:56:08,000
Speaker 1: Guys will tell you coverage trump's pressure because the quarterback

2325
01:56:08,040 --> 01:56:10,240
Speaker 1: can always avoid pressure for one play even if you

2326
01:56:10,280 --> 01:56:12,080
Speaker 1: get if a guy running free, the guy makes a

2327
01:56:12,120 --> 01:56:14,160
Speaker 1: miss or whatever, and now you still got guys running free.

2328
01:56:14,200 --> 01:56:18,440
Speaker 1: But coverage is coverage, and you can keep fresh pass

2329
01:56:18,520 --> 01:56:20,720
Speaker 1: rushers on the game, on the field and rotate them through.

2330
01:56:21,960 --> 01:56:25,160
Speaker 1: So I'm a big back to front guy. If if

2331
01:56:25,480 --> 01:56:27,840
Speaker 1: that's the best in this day, at this point in history,

2332
01:56:27,880 --> 01:56:29,480
Speaker 1: that's the way you do. And if you think about it,

2333
01:56:29,600 --> 01:56:34,160
Speaker 1: all three of those defenses are largely built to stop

2334
01:56:34,280 --> 01:56:38,360
Speaker 1: the pass with premium secondary talent, right and they're paying

2335
01:56:38,440 --> 01:56:40,200
Speaker 1: them and they're one, what are they two, three, and

2336
01:56:40,280 --> 01:56:42,280
Speaker 1: four in the league or one three and four, one

2337
01:56:42,320 --> 01:56:44,320
Speaker 1: two and three or one two and four or something

2338
01:56:44,400 --> 01:56:48,680
Speaker 1: like that and points allowed. So yeah, it's I agree,

2339
01:56:48,680 --> 01:56:50,640
Speaker 1: it's real. I think it's back to front these days,

2340
01:56:50,680 --> 01:56:52,760
Speaker 1: all right, number, next amount item on the menu. It's

2341
01:56:52,760 --> 01:56:55,160
Speaker 1: about ear old friend Terrello And should he or should

2342
01:56:55,200 --> 01:56:58,440
Speaker 1: he not be upset about not making the NFL's top

2343
01:56:58,560 --> 01:57:01,440
Speaker 1: one hundred I think top ten lists, right, or he's

2344
01:57:01,440 --> 01:57:03,640
Speaker 1: in the top one hundred, isn't he? Well they were

2345
01:57:03,680 --> 01:57:09,040
Speaker 1: doing their one hundredth anniversary all tip top ten wide receivers, right,

2346
01:57:09,080 --> 01:57:12,160
Speaker 1: so he didn't make the top ten wide receivers. Should

2347
01:57:12,200 --> 01:57:18,080
Speaker 1: he or should he not be upset? Um? I mean

2348
01:57:18,160 --> 01:57:21,160
Speaker 1: there's a lot of good receivers over the history of

2349
01:57:21,200 --> 01:57:24,680
Speaker 1: the league. I didn't even see the whole list to

2350
01:57:24,760 --> 01:57:29,080
Speaker 1: see who made it and who didn't. I'm sure he

2351
01:57:29,160 --> 01:57:32,480
Speaker 1: could be upset. He's got fantastic numbers that you know

2352
01:57:32,520 --> 01:57:36,200
Speaker 1: are up among the top numbers in the annals of Football.

2353
01:57:36,680 --> 01:57:39,720
Speaker 1: So from a pure production standpoint, sure you could say it.

2354
01:57:40,160 --> 01:57:42,760
Speaker 1: I mean that guy could take over games, which is

2355
01:57:42,800 --> 01:57:44,920
Speaker 1: hard to do with the receiver position, but he could

2356
01:57:44,960 --> 01:57:50,000
Speaker 1: do it. So yeah, I mean, I guess he can

2357
01:57:50,040 --> 01:57:51,880
Speaker 1: be upset about it. I don't know if he's right,

2358
01:57:52,680 --> 01:57:56,160
Speaker 1: but he can be upset about it. Sure, you have

2359
01:57:56,200 --> 01:57:58,120
Speaker 1: the right to be upset about anything you want, right,

2360
01:57:58,960 --> 01:58:01,480
Speaker 1: you know, right, your feelings are irrelevant, but you can

2361
01:58:01,560 --> 01:58:04,600
Speaker 1: have him. So there you go. I agree. I yeah,

2362
01:58:04,680 --> 01:58:07,200
Speaker 1: if he's you knew he was gonna be right. But

2363
01:58:07,280 --> 01:58:09,960
Speaker 1: I'm surprised he wasn't on there because because of the

2364
01:58:10,080 --> 01:58:14,720
Speaker 1: numbers he put up. Obviously being a type of personality

2365
01:58:14,800 --> 01:58:17,760
Speaker 1: that he is, that that counts. I think Randy Moss

2366
01:58:17,840 --> 01:58:21,720
Speaker 1: made the list. Um, Randy, Yeah, absolutely, Jerry Rice made

2367
01:58:21,760 --> 01:58:24,560
Speaker 1: the list. I'm wondering what old timers are on there.

2368
01:58:24,640 --> 01:58:26,920
Speaker 1: You know, it's like Lance Allworth on there is um,

2369
01:58:28,120 --> 01:58:31,000
Speaker 1: you know someone like that. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah,

2370
01:58:31,000 --> 01:58:33,320
Speaker 1: there's a bunch of old timers on there are always okay, yeah,

2371
01:58:33,360 --> 01:58:35,480
Speaker 1: I didn't see the list myself. All right, Well, another

2372
01:58:35,520 --> 01:58:37,440
Speaker 1: thing on the lunch menu. We'll go. Say he can

2373
01:58:37,480 --> 01:58:40,360
Speaker 1: be upset if he was like, oh yeah, we got

2374
01:58:40,440 --> 01:58:42,680
Speaker 1: one more after this, Okay, here we go. Better quarterback

2375
01:58:42,800 --> 01:58:45,520
Speaker 1: Christmas gift. The quarterbacks always give gifts. Oh yeah yeah.

2376
01:58:45,960 --> 01:58:50,400
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson gave our Rolex watches pretty good. Josh Allen

2377
01:58:50,480 --> 01:58:55,800
Speaker 1: gave out these big grills. Yeah, the big he gave. Yeah,

2378
01:58:55,880 --> 01:58:57,680
Speaker 1: and they came with all the stuff that you gotta

2379
01:58:57,760 --> 01:59:00,880
Speaker 1: put in it. Like, he even got them the specialty

2380
01:59:01,640 --> 01:59:06,879
Speaker 1: the pickery wood pellets and stuff, and h prepped everything

2381
01:59:07,000 --> 01:59:10,120
Speaker 1: for him. Um, there were a couple other guys, So

2382
01:59:10,200 --> 01:59:13,200
Speaker 1: what do you use more the grill of the watch? Well,

2383
01:59:13,360 --> 01:59:15,640
Speaker 1: certainly watch. It's got to be more expensive, right, let

2384
01:59:15,720 --> 01:59:18,760
Speaker 1: me just say this, Uh, and I'm not knocking any

2385
01:59:18,840 --> 01:59:22,080
Speaker 1: gifts here because I know I believe Jamis Winston got

2386
01:59:22,200 --> 01:59:27,120
Speaker 1: his guys those um those green pellet looking grills. Yeah,

2387
01:59:27,280 --> 01:59:29,720
Speaker 1: green Eggs, Green egg That's what it is. He got

2388
01:59:29,800 --> 01:59:33,040
Speaker 1: them those. Oh yeah, and then he also got him

2389
01:59:33,080 --> 01:59:37,640
Speaker 1: like a gift card to uh stakes for the grills.

2390
01:59:37,720 --> 01:59:41,200
Speaker 1: So that was good. That was good foresight there. Um,

2391
01:59:43,360 --> 01:59:46,120
Speaker 1: you can't go wrong with the Rolex. I mean, and

2392
01:59:46,280 --> 01:59:49,320
Speaker 1: you're going high end, but you're saying, I mean, Lamar

2393
01:59:49,440 --> 01:59:51,520
Speaker 1: Jackson is setting the bar awfully high as a first

2394
01:59:51,880 --> 01:59:54,960
Speaker 1: first year starter. What the hell's he doing next year? Right?

2395
01:59:55,200 --> 01:59:58,000
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Guys like guys only there's

2396
01:59:58,040 --> 01:59:59,720
Speaker 1: no where to go but down from there unless you're

Speaker 1: a roll out Maserati's for everybody, right, there's a there's

2398
02:00:02,880 --> 02:00:05,240
Speaker 1: a yeah, a lot of a lot of gift giving,

2399
02:00:05,280 --> 02:00:08,720
Speaker 1: of course. Um, but let's just see I might have

2400
02:00:08,880 --> 02:00:11,600
Speaker 1: it up. I don't think I have it up the

2401
02:00:13,080 --> 02:00:15,760
Speaker 1: the gifts some other guys, some other guys got yeah,

2402
02:00:15,800 --> 02:00:17,640
Speaker 1: because I saw Jameis Winston. He kind of went the

2403
02:00:17,680 --> 02:00:20,080
Speaker 1: same route as Josh did, getting grills for those guys.

2404
02:00:20,600 --> 02:00:22,600
Speaker 1: You got guys that cook out, well then yeah, I

2405
02:00:22,640 --> 02:00:24,760
Speaker 1: mean that's a no brainer. Yeah. I mean you've got

2406
02:00:24,840 --> 02:00:27,920
Speaker 1: guys given a lot of grills being out out there,

2407
02:00:28,960 --> 02:00:32,040
Speaker 1: which was big now and you're figuring, you know, a

2408
02:00:32,160 --> 02:00:36,440
Speaker 1: lineman appetite, big eaters, you know, get him a smoker

2409
02:00:36,560 --> 02:00:40,000
Speaker 1: or something, right, all right, but the rolex is tough

2410
02:00:40,040 --> 02:00:42,640
Speaker 1: to top. I mean, there is an alignment in the

2411
02:00:42,720 --> 02:00:44,560
Speaker 1: league that isn't over the moon for one of those

2412
02:00:45,120 --> 02:00:47,440
Speaker 1: what's the better storyline for last one we got for lunch?

2413
02:00:47,560 --> 02:00:50,560
Speaker 1: What's the better storyline Week seventeen? The Raiders make the playoffs,

2414
02:00:51,000 --> 02:00:54,400
Speaker 1: making the playoffs their chances or the NFC East winner.

2415
02:00:55,920 --> 02:00:58,240
Speaker 1: Oh my god, it's probably the Raiders. I think the

2416
02:00:58,360 --> 02:01:01,040
Speaker 1: Raiders more fun. Yeah. Well, like we were saying earlier,

2417
02:01:01,160 --> 02:01:03,440
Speaker 1: ten things had to happen over these last two weeks

2418
02:01:03,480 --> 02:01:07,440
Speaker 1: and half of them have happened so far, and you

2419
02:01:07,520 --> 02:01:12,160
Speaker 1: know what, we're gonna need to get um some kind

2420
02:01:12,200 --> 02:01:17,240
Speaker 1: of math whiz on that to determine and calculate how

2421
02:01:17,400 --> 02:01:20,280
Speaker 1: long the odds were for all ten of those things

2422
02:01:20,360 --> 02:01:22,240
Speaker 1: to happen, because it's gonna have to be in like

2423
02:01:22,360 --> 02:01:26,600
Speaker 1: the quadrillions, don't you think like all of those ten

2424
02:01:26,760 --> 02:01:28,800
Speaker 1: things that had to happen or miss gee viewers are

2425
02:01:28,800 --> 02:01:30,760
Speaker 1: getting to look at it. Last week that the Raiders

2426
02:01:30,800 --> 02:01:33,440
Speaker 1: had to win, the Baltimore Ravens had to win, the

2427
02:01:33,600 --> 02:01:35,720
Speaker 1: Jets had to win, the Saints had to win, and

2428
02:01:35,800 --> 02:01:37,760
Speaker 1: the Colts had to win. All five of those games

2429
02:01:37,800 --> 02:01:41,200
Speaker 1: went the Raiders ways. Now this this week, the Raiders

2430
02:01:41,240 --> 02:01:43,440
Speaker 1: got to win again against the Broncos. The Browns have

2431
02:01:43,520 --> 02:01:45,560
Speaker 1: got to beat the Bengals. You can see that happening.

2432
02:01:46,080 --> 02:01:49,760
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens gotta beat the steel Steelers. Sitting everybody you have,

2433
02:01:49,800 --> 02:01:54,440
Speaker 1: they're sitting everybody. And Houston's Houston's got to beat Tennessee

2434
02:01:54,600 --> 02:01:56,320
Speaker 1: and they may sit some people depending on how the

2435
02:01:56,360 --> 02:01:58,800
Speaker 1: four o'clock the one o'clock game goes, and the Colts

2436
02:01:58,840 --> 02:02:02,240
Speaker 1: will probably beat Jackson Bans Jaguars already warming up the bus.

2437
02:02:02,520 --> 02:02:06,920
Speaker 1: So that's not off. This is gonna be insane if

2438
02:02:07,960 --> 02:02:10,320
Speaker 1: they back into the playoffs with all of that. Yeah,

2439
02:02:11,520 --> 02:02:13,320
Speaker 1: don't you think it's got to be like I mean,

2440
02:02:13,360 --> 02:02:15,400
Speaker 1: all of these things happening in the last two weeks,

2441
02:02:15,440 --> 02:02:17,400
Speaker 1: you gotta be in the quadrillions for the chances of

2442
02:02:17,480 --> 02:02:19,520
Speaker 1: that happen. All Right, we're gonna take a break. We're

2443
02:02:19,520 --> 02:02:21,440
Speaker 1: gonna be right back. Steve task On with Chris Brown

2448
02:02:46,800 --> 02:02:51,280
Speaker 1: our One Bills Live studio talking about the Bills game

2449
02:02:51,360 --> 02:02:53,240
Speaker 1: on and the Jets game And we're asking you the

2450
02:02:53,360 --> 02:02:55,800
Speaker 1: question what do you want? What question you want answered?

2451
02:02:55,880 --> 02:02:57,480
Speaker 1: Is the Bill's head into the playoffs. We all got.

2452
02:02:57,520 --> 02:02:59,840
Speaker 1: So we also have some people waiting on the line.

2453
02:03:00,560 --> 02:03:03,760
Speaker 1: I've been waiting and lets yeah, Mike from Buffalo has

2454
02:03:03,800 --> 02:03:05,840
Speaker 1: been waiting quite a while. Mike, thanks for hanging on.

2455
02:03:05,920 --> 02:03:08,600
Speaker 1: You're with Steven Brownie. What's on your mind? How are

2456
02:03:08,600 --> 02:03:11,840
Speaker 1: you doing? Guys, Okay, happy healthy Christmas. We did, Thank you.

2457
02:03:14,040 --> 02:03:18,160
Speaker 1: My biggest takeaway for the season has been my impression.

2458
02:03:18,200 --> 02:03:20,000
Speaker 1: You guys can correct me if I'm wrong, And I

2459
02:03:20,120 --> 02:03:22,640
Speaker 1: understand this is probably not Josh's game at this point,

2460
02:03:23,120 --> 02:03:28,000
Speaker 1: but to develop a three step drop game throughout a game,

2461
02:03:28,720 --> 02:03:31,080
Speaker 1: everything to me seems to me mainly five and seven

2462
02:03:31,160 --> 02:03:34,040
Speaker 1: step drops. And I thought when we brought in Beasley,

2463
02:03:34,640 --> 02:03:37,040
Speaker 1: we would use him in that three step drop game,

2464
02:03:37,200 --> 02:03:40,360
Speaker 1: especially on early downs, to put us in better down

2465
02:03:40,480 --> 02:03:43,160
Speaker 1: in distances. It doesn't, you know, the five six seven

2466
02:03:43,240 --> 02:03:47,080
Speaker 1: yard pass routes, and I see him consistently further down

2467
02:03:47,200 --> 02:03:50,640
Speaker 1: field in his routes, and I'm wondering, has that consciously

2468
02:03:50,760 --> 02:03:54,720
Speaker 1: been something they haven't done? Is it not something they

2469
02:03:54,760 --> 02:03:58,040
Speaker 1: feel Josh can do at this point in time. I'm

2470
02:03:58,320 --> 02:04:02,040
Speaker 1: very curious or am I just completely wrong because I

2471
02:04:02,080 --> 02:04:03,800
Speaker 1: don't I'm not a stats guy. I don't know how

2472
02:04:03,840 --> 02:04:06,240
Speaker 1: many times he actually does it during game. My perception

2473
02:04:06,400 --> 02:04:09,720
Speaker 1: is that it's very rare. Yeah, it's interesting point because

2474
02:04:09,880 --> 02:04:11,760
Speaker 1: we saw like he had a big highlight of it

2475
02:04:11,920 --> 02:04:13,800
Speaker 1: last week. Tom Brady gets rid of the ball really

2476
02:04:13,880 --> 02:04:17,080
Speaker 1: quickly and fast because his offensive line is struggled in

2477
02:04:17,120 --> 02:04:19,480
Speaker 1: front of him. I think this is a team that maybe,

2478
02:04:21,160 --> 02:04:23,200
Speaker 1: you know, going from back to last year, when their

2479
02:04:23,240 --> 02:04:26,720
Speaker 1: offensive line was worse than any offensive line in the league,

2480
02:04:27,920 --> 02:04:30,840
Speaker 1: they couldn't drop back and do it. Now, when they've

2481
02:04:30,840 --> 02:04:35,360
Speaker 1: got their offensive line, you know, kind of way upgraded

2482
02:04:35,440 --> 02:04:37,080
Speaker 1: from where it was a year ago, now they can

2483
02:04:37,160 --> 02:04:38,680
Speaker 1: do it. Maybe they do it more than they would

2484
02:04:38,680 --> 02:04:41,440
Speaker 1: have otherwise. It's a good question because you're right, my

2485
02:04:41,600 --> 02:04:44,080
Speaker 1: perception is yours. I don't see them doing a lot

2486
02:04:44,120 --> 02:04:46,880
Speaker 1: of quick release, quick drop back passes outside of the

2487
02:04:46,960 --> 02:04:50,240
Speaker 1: one step drop now route kind of right, the quick

2488
02:04:50,240 --> 02:04:52,840
Speaker 1: swip screen stuff. Yeah, I see that, but you're right,

2489
02:04:53,280 --> 02:04:54,760
Speaker 1: it's not part of their eye and it may be

2490
02:04:54,880 --> 02:04:58,000
Speaker 1: something that Josh doesn't do well. But it's a good

2491
02:04:58,080 --> 02:04:59,720
Speaker 1: question because you see a lot of teams do it.

2492
02:05:00,200 --> 02:05:02,560
Speaker 1: But it could be yeah, and it could be a

2493
02:05:02,640 --> 02:05:06,320
Speaker 1: byproduct of you know, the offensive staff wants depth in

2494
02:05:06,440 --> 02:05:09,640
Speaker 1: his drops because they feel that lends to better success

2495
02:05:09,760 --> 02:05:12,320
Speaker 1: rate on completions in terms of trajectory and all that

2496
02:05:12,400 --> 02:05:15,280
Speaker 1: stuff projected onto what we know about him. If you're

2497
02:05:15,320 --> 02:05:18,120
Speaker 1: gonna drop back zing it three, you need the windows

2498
02:05:18,160 --> 02:05:21,960
Speaker 1: are small. That's not Josh's strength. He comes back, drops

2499
02:05:22,000 --> 02:05:25,080
Speaker 1: back and his strength is pushing the ball down the field,

2500
02:05:25,120 --> 02:05:26,720
Speaker 1: which means you got to give your receiver a chance

2501
02:05:26,760 --> 02:05:30,040
Speaker 1: to get down there. The things he does well, you know,

2502
02:05:30,320 --> 02:05:32,920
Speaker 1: are down the field and in the intermediate passing game

2503
02:05:33,000 --> 02:05:35,920
Speaker 1: of putting it into two windows, you know, fifteen twenty

2504
02:05:36,000 --> 02:05:38,440
Speaker 1: yards down the field, his forte is not being able

2505
02:05:38,480 --> 02:05:41,120
Speaker 1: to put it, you know, in a key hole from

2506
02:05:41,280 --> 02:05:43,480
Speaker 1: ten yards away, right, And that's what you got is

2507
02:05:43,520 --> 02:05:45,760
Speaker 1: better at dropping it over a linebacker than he is.

2508
02:05:45,800 --> 02:05:48,080
Speaker 1: It's sticking it between a safety in a corner on

2509
02:05:48,160 --> 02:05:51,160
Speaker 1: a slant, yeah, that's yeah. So the ball if he

2510
02:05:51,240 --> 02:05:53,360
Speaker 1: comes up and you're doing these quick release patterns and

2511
02:05:53,640 --> 02:05:55,920
Speaker 1: he comes back and he's and he misses by two feet,

2512
02:05:55,960 --> 02:05:57,880
Speaker 1: it's a pick. Yeah. So so I would say that

2513
02:05:58,200 --> 02:06:01,880
Speaker 1: the logical hypothesis, That's what I'm saying too, is that

2514
02:06:01,960 --> 02:06:04,000
Speaker 1: they're trying to cater to the things that he does

2515
02:06:04,080 --> 02:06:06,520
Speaker 1: well and avoid the things that he doesn't. And in

2516
02:06:06,600 --> 02:06:10,280
Speaker 1: the three step drop game, some of those weaknesses might

2517
02:06:10,400 --> 02:06:13,200
Speaker 1: rear their ugly head more often. Right, Let's try to

2518
02:06:13,240 --> 02:06:15,720
Speaker 1: take one more call from Joel in New Hampshire. Joel,

2519
02:06:15,760 --> 02:06:17,680
Speaker 1: thanks for winning. I just cut him off, so he

2520
02:06:17,840 --> 02:06:22,680
Speaker 1: just jo no he's longer. Just as I pushed that

2521
02:06:22,760 --> 02:06:25,920
Speaker 1: button to take that call, job gave up. That was

2522
02:06:25,960 --> 02:06:28,080
Speaker 1: a hard time to pull the rip cord. Joel. Now

2523
02:06:28,320 --> 02:06:30,240
Speaker 1: that's these things happen. What can you say? We did

2524
02:06:30,320 --> 02:06:32,240
Speaker 1: have one more on the tweet sheet those Steves go ahead,

2525
02:06:32,240 --> 02:06:34,160
Speaker 1: you read the tweet sheet out to you by Corrigan

2526
02:06:34,240 --> 02:06:36,320
Speaker 1: Moving Systems. The question you want to answered as the

2527
02:06:36,360 --> 02:06:40,400
Speaker 1: Bill's head into the playoffs from Zach do they still

2528
02:06:40,520 --> 02:06:43,640
Speaker 1: have the pieces to not just make the playoffs but

2529
02:06:43,880 --> 02:06:47,840
Speaker 1: win this wild card game? Man, I went all in

2530
02:06:48,000 --> 02:06:51,240
Speaker 1: on the Houston playoff trip. Hope that eight point four

2531
02:06:51,360 --> 02:06:55,240
Speaker 1: percent casey playoff possibility doesn't come true. We have a

2532
02:06:55,320 --> 02:06:58,240
Speaker 1: better chance of beating Houston. I would agree they do

2533
02:06:58,360 --> 02:06:59,960
Speaker 1: have a better chance of beating Houston. Like we were

2534
02:07:00,040 --> 02:07:01,720
Speaker 1: saying at the top of the show, with the way

2535
02:07:01,800 --> 02:07:04,920
Speaker 1: that Kansas City defense is playing right now, playing some

2536
02:07:05,000 --> 02:07:07,320
Speaker 1: of their best ball of the season. Steve Spagnola has

2537
02:07:07,360 --> 02:07:10,040
Speaker 1: got them humming right now. On the defensive side of

2538
02:07:10,080 --> 02:07:12,240
Speaker 1: the ball. For the Chiefs, I think I last four

2539
02:07:12,320 --> 02:07:14,160
Speaker 1: games they've given up nine and a half points per

2540
02:07:14,240 --> 02:07:17,880
Speaker 1: game on average. So the Chiefs as they come down

2541
02:07:18,000 --> 02:07:21,200
Speaker 1: the stretch here are a much more complete team than

2542
02:07:21,240 --> 02:07:22,920
Speaker 1: they were last year. And I think they're going to

2543
02:07:23,000 --> 02:07:25,240
Speaker 1: be a tougher out because of it, because their defense

2544
02:07:25,320 --> 02:07:27,080
Speaker 1: has been playing so well. Yeah, I agree with you.

2545
02:07:27,280 --> 02:07:29,600
Speaker 1: I agree with you totally. And you know, and what'd

2546
02:07:29,600 --> 02:07:32,120
Speaker 1: you say? The Houston defense is eighteenth overall, eighteenth that

2547
02:07:32,160 --> 02:07:35,280
Speaker 1: points allowed, points allowed, points allowed. I think overall they're

2548
02:07:35,320 --> 02:07:38,640
Speaker 1: even worse. Points allowed they are. Let's see, here we go,

2549
02:07:38,800 --> 02:07:42,000
Speaker 1: points per game this, hold on, hold on, let me

2550
02:07:42,080 --> 02:07:45,160
Speaker 1: get it. The defense so eighteenth and points per per game,

2551
02:07:46,400 --> 02:07:48,680
Speaker 1: but in total yards, I think they were even lower

2552
02:07:48,720 --> 02:07:55,600
Speaker 1: than that. Right here we go, Yeah, NFL. The Chiefs

2553
02:07:55,800 --> 02:07:58,879
Speaker 1: are overall in the NFL. A hold on, points allowed.

2554
02:07:59,120 --> 02:08:02,720
Speaker 1: We're looking at this. This is so Houston points per game.

2555
02:08:02,800 --> 02:08:08,320
Speaker 1: Here we go, Houston at points per game is eighteenth. Yeah,

2556
02:08:08,840 --> 02:08:12,680
Speaker 1: at yards per game they are, they're in the twenties,

2557
02:08:14,280 --> 02:08:21,040
Speaker 1: they're twenty eight. Yeah. I like that matchup. Then let's

2558
02:08:21,080 --> 02:08:24,480
Speaker 1: play then. Yeah, I'm with Zach on that right all

2559
02:08:24,560 --> 02:08:27,560
Speaker 1: the way. But yeah, let's see. You know, his question is,

2560
02:08:27,680 --> 02:08:30,600
Speaker 1: let's let's not just get there, Let's win a game. Yeah,

2561
02:08:30,600 --> 02:08:32,880
Speaker 1: you're gonna win. You gonna win. Then you can go

2562
02:08:33,000 --> 02:08:37,400
Speaker 1: into Baltimore or New England and uh and go from there. Yeah,

2563
02:08:37,400 --> 02:08:40,160
Speaker 1: it's gravy after that, right, Yeah, yeah, I agree. I

2564
02:08:40,240 --> 02:08:42,200
Speaker 1: think that's where you want to be. And if if

2565
02:08:42,880 --> 02:08:45,640
Speaker 1: ye and I'd like I'd kind of like to see

2566
02:08:45,680 --> 02:08:48,640
Speaker 1: the team. I picked him to go eleven eleven and five,

2567
02:08:48,760 --> 02:08:50,280
Speaker 1: so I want to win to see him win. Okay,

2568
02:08:50,520 --> 02:08:52,920
Speaker 1: but I told Murf, I'm making the case. What are

2569
02:08:52,920 --> 02:08:54,600
Speaker 1: you talking about his game's meeting? Does he mean thing?

2570
02:08:54,640 --> 02:08:57,240
Speaker 1: It's like a win, you know, because it doesn't hurt

2571
02:08:57,320 --> 02:09:03,120
Speaker 1: or help you. Yeah, what do you think Murf said that? Yeah? Like,

2572
02:09:03,320 --> 02:09:06,240
Speaker 1: no way, No, I agree, all right, but I still think, hey,

2573
02:09:06,280 --> 02:09:08,840
Speaker 1: get into a level. He wants to sit everybody this week. Yeah,

2574
02:09:08,960 --> 02:09:12,680
Speaker 1: and well listen, he's not alone, right, I mean listen,

2575
02:09:12,720 --> 02:09:16,200
Speaker 1: they're going to They're gonna sit everybody. Nobody's gonna play

2576
02:09:16,240 --> 02:09:18,400
Speaker 1: this game like they normally would play this game. Josh

2577
02:09:18,520 --> 02:09:20,440
Speaker 1: is not gonna take four quarters of snaps. They're not

2578
02:09:20,480 --> 02:09:21,960
Speaker 1: gonna get into a tuss, you know what I mean.

2579
02:09:23,360 --> 02:09:25,760
Speaker 1: They had a backup kicker that guy'd be playing, you know.

2580
02:09:25,920 --> 02:09:29,800
Speaker 1: I mean, so I'm totally on down with that. I'm

2581
02:09:30,600 --> 02:09:32,920
Speaker 1: rest when you can rest, do it when it's smart.

2582
02:09:33,000 --> 02:09:35,400
Speaker 1: Get these guys ready to get them sharp. But I'm

2583
02:09:35,480 --> 02:09:39,040
Speaker 1: kind of envisioning Sunday's game to look like, you know,

2584
02:09:39,080 --> 02:09:42,240
Speaker 1: the first or second preseason game. Starters come out, they

2585
02:09:42,320 --> 02:09:46,000
Speaker 1: get three or four drives, the majority of them get yanked.

2586
02:09:46,040 --> 02:09:48,760
Speaker 1: I want to see Matt Barkley and Duke Williams and

2587
02:09:48,960 --> 02:09:52,400
Speaker 1: t J. Yelden and Tommy Sweeney. I want to see

2588
02:09:52,440 --> 02:09:54,120
Speaker 1: these guys play. I want to see him play, and

2589
02:09:54,120 --> 02:09:55,640
Speaker 1: I want to see him play well. All right, let's

2590
02:09:55,680 --> 02:09:57,600
Speaker 1: take a break. We're gonna be back. Steve Tasker, Chris

2591
02:09:57,720 --> 02:10:01,240
Speaker 1: Brown here at one Bills I presented by Kalida Health

2592
02:10:01,320 --> 02:10:04,520
Speaker 1: live from the Seneca Studio. We'll be back right after this.

2593
02:10:19,880 --> 02:10:22,440
Speaker 1: What have we learned? Brought to you by Skyworks. Skyworks,

2594
02:10:22,520 --> 02:10:25,600
Speaker 1: the official construction equipment rental company of the Buffalo Bills.

2595
02:10:25,640 --> 02:10:27,400
Speaker 1: We had Thurman Thomas, Hall of Fame, running back for

2596
02:10:27,400 --> 02:10:29,640
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills on our show earlier. We asked him

2597
02:10:29,920 --> 02:10:32,920
Speaker 1: the question that we asked you, what question do you

2598
02:10:33,040 --> 02:10:35,200
Speaker 1: want answered by the Buffalo Bills as they head into

2599
02:10:35,240 --> 02:10:37,360
Speaker 1: the playoffs. And here's what Thurman Thomas had to say.

2600
02:10:38,840 --> 02:10:41,200
Speaker 1: If it propels them into the super Bowl, it's going

2601
02:10:41,280 --> 02:10:43,200
Speaker 1: to be happy to be done by the offense. I

2602
02:10:43,280 --> 02:10:45,320
Speaker 1: think the defense is fine no matter who they match

2603
02:10:45,400 --> 02:10:49,680
Speaker 1: up again, Kansas City, Texas Baltimore again. I mean, I'd

2604
02:10:49,800 --> 02:10:52,160
Speaker 1: like to see that matchup again. And I have to

2605
02:10:52,280 --> 02:10:58,360
Speaker 1: look at it as Okay, Dabs, offensive coordinator, your best

2606
02:10:58,440 --> 02:11:04,960
Speaker 1: athlete is the quarterback. Now throw the football. Don't throw

2607
02:11:04,960 --> 02:11:07,120
Speaker 1: it on first down. It didn't run it on second down.

2608
02:11:07,720 --> 02:11:09,760
Speaker 1: You threw it first, you threw a second, you threw

2609
02:11:09,800 --> 02:11:12,200
Speaker 1: it thirty. It gives you the best chance to win.

2610
02:11:13,560 --> 02:11:15,760
Speaker 1: That's what Thurman Thomas had to say. We also had

2611
02:11:16,800 --> 02:11:19,400
Speaker 1: the rookie tight end Dawson Knox out of Old miss

2612
02:11:19,520 --> 02:11:22,200
Speaker 1: On putting together a nice season for the Buffalo Bills,

2613
02:11:22,240 --> 02:11:24,160
Speaker 1: and we asked him what it was like going into

2614
02:11:24,320 --> 02:11:27,840
Speaker 1: seven week seventeen knowing you're already the number five seat.

2615
02:11:27,920 --> 02:11:29,600
Speaker 1: Here's what the rookie tight end for the Buffalo Bills,

2616
02:11:29,680 --> 02:11:33,160
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox had to say, You know, we're still our

2617
02:11:33,200 --> 02:11:35,680
Speaker 1: goal is still out there no matter what the result

2618
02:11:35,800 --> 02:11:39,280
Speaker 1: is this weekend. So it is a little different. I

2619
02:11:39,360 --> 02:11:41,080
Speaker 1: guess it just feels a little different because we know,

2620
02:11:41,280 --> 02:11:44,840
Speaker 1: like we were guaranteed a playoff game. But at the

2621
02:11:44,920 --> 02:11:47,760
Speaker 1: same time, I think everybody like I said earlier, like

2622
02:11:47,880 --> 02:11:50,640
Speaker 1: everybody has that competitive spirit that you know, no one

2623
02:11:50,720 --> 02:11:54,000
Speaker 1: likes losing. It might not be like, oh the season's over,

2624
02:11:54,080 --> 02:11:56,640
Speaker 1: we lost, but it's still you know, no one likes losing,

2625
02:11:57,000 --> 02:12:00,920
Speaker 1: especially in this level. That was Dawsons the official and

2626
02:12:01,040 --> 02:12:02,880
Speaker 1: that was what have we learned? Brought to you by

2627

Speaker 1: the first time since week eleven, So that's an encouraging

2633
02:12:19,120 --> 02:12:22,720
Speaker 1: development there. Shack Lawson looks pretty iffy for Sunday though

2634
02:12:22,760 --> 02:12:24,720
Speaker 1: at this point, so we'll have the details on that

2635

2636
02:12:28,960 --> 02:12:30,720
Speaker 1: a look at the Jets, who are a much different

2637
02:12:30,760 --> 02:12:33,080
Speaker 1: team than the one they faced in week one, So

2638
02:12:33,200 --> 02:12:35,640
Speaker 1: we'll have a breakdown of some critical matchups and where

2639
02:12:35,640 --> 02:12:38,720
Speaker 1: the Jets are excelling right now and where they're still

2640
02:12:38,760 --> 02:12:41,080
Speaker 1: struggling a bit. They're not a complete team by any means,

2641
02:12:41,160 --> 02:12:43,040
Speaker 1: but playing a lot better than they used to do.

2642
