1 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:36,240 Speaker 1: This is one Bill's Live presented by called Light a Health. 2 00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:43,720 Speaker 2: Where else would you rather be? I've asked that question 3 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:51,280 Speaker 2: so many times. To me, it's not just the mantra, 4 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 2: it's a mindset. This time of the year, it doesn't 5 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 2: matter where your feet are, it's about where your mind is. 6 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:02,639 Speaker 3: Play for each other. 7 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 2: The great teams have the will to win anywhere, at 8 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:09,520 Speaker 2: home or on the road. 9 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:10,319 Speaker 3: Journey of a season. 10 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,839 Speaker 4: Right here highs Lows. I still did. 11 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 2: But it takes a special team playing together to prepare 12 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 2: to win. 13 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 3: They just don't have enough difference making players. You don't 14 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:26,400 Speaker 3: have a defense that's going to help you. 15 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 4: You don't have enough weapons. 16 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,040 Speaker 3: I'm talking about individuals that a game changes. Right. There's 17 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:34,040 Speaker 3: seven or eight great rosters in this league. Buffalo is 18 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:34,760 Speaker 3: not one of them. 19 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 2: Every setback is a chance for growth. Every loss is 20 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,759 Speaker 2: a lesson after all, as a wise man once said, 21 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 2: adversity is an opportunity for heroism. 22 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,640 Speaker 1: That's old fashion Josh Allen's football. 23 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 2: This is the time of year that it all comes together. 24 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 2: This city raving a championship that was the next level, 25 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 2: this team into. 26 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 1: The moment defense turns to offense for the Bills. 27 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 2: This story still unridden football airplace. So as this era 28 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 2: comes to a close, and no matter where this journey 29 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 2: takes a let's rise and fight again. 30 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 3: It's away for the defender. He's up the time. 31 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 2: It's the playoff. So let me ask you one more time, 32 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 2: where else would you rather be than right here, right now? 33 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 3: All right? What other better way to start this show 34 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 3: on a Friday? Holy cow, one hundred year old Hall 35 00:02:55,240 --> 00:03:01,080 Speaker 3: of Fame head coach Marv Levy on the hype train today. Hello, 36 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,520 Speaker 3: Oh my wow, that was great. 37 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 5: The guy can still do it. He can still get 38 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:10,079 Speaker 5: an entire fan base hyped up. I remember when our 39 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 5: video staff was figuring out, okay, what do we want 40 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 5: to do for that playoff hype video this year, and 41 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 5: we kept going back to Marv Levy, the meaning behind 42 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 5: the final season at Hei Mark Stadium. 43 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 6: It just made sense having Marv a part of it all. 44 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 3: Oh man, that was great. I just hope I'm breathing 45 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 3: at one hundred forget about doing all that stuff that 46 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,360 Speaker 3: Marv's doing. My goodness, it's getting people fired up for 47 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 3: playoff football.

Any question you've got 66 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 3: about the playoff matchup this weekend, some of the other 67 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:36,160 Speaker 3: playoff matchups, maybe about the Bills roster, who we're expecting 68 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 3: to play, who's an injury question mark right now? What's 69 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,160 Speaker 3: the kicker situation going to be? Whatever's on your mind, 70 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 3: Fire away, and we'll do our best to give you 71 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,919 Speaker 3: a quality answer in the OBL Friday fan mailbag. So 72 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 3: all your questions are fair game. 73 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:56,119 Speaker 5: Did anything surprise you today from Sean McDermott's injury report, No, 74 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 5: not really. 75 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 3: I guess I was supp to see Joshua Palmer is 76 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 3: not gonna practice again today, but is still gonna have 77 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:10,720 Speaker 3: a questionable designation. Usually you don't practice the whole week, 78 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,720 Speaker 3: you're not really a consideration for the game. But maybe 79 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,279 Speaker 3: that's an indication of how much they want to put 80 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 3: as much speed on the field as possible. I don't know. 81 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:25,279 Speaker 3: It's an interesting situation there with him, and you know 82 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 3: he's been dogged by this ankle slash foot thing for 83 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:33,279 Speaker 3: weeks now. And if you remember, Manny on Wednesday, coach 84 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 3: McDermott didn't even mention him as one of the non participants. 85 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 3: He was expecting to be sidelined for practice on Wednesday. 86 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 3: Then the Wednesday injury report comes out and bang, there 87 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 3: he is. So I'm not saying the coach was surprised 88 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 3: by that. He probably just neglected to mention him. But 89 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,279 Speaker 3: still for fans, it's like, oh no again, Like it's 90 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 3: just been this series of guys in and out of 91 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,840 Speaker 3: the lineup at the receiver position all season long, and 92 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 3: people say, Wow, what's the big deal. Well, it is 93 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,720 Speaker 3: a big deal because the receivers all have different skill sets, 94 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:09,599 Speaker 3: as you know, and for Joe Brady, there's been very 95 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 3: little continuity at the position and that impacts your game planning. 96 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 3: It's like, you put the game plan in on Tuesday, 97 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 3: who are we gonna have half the time, they don't know. 98 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 3: I mean they know maybe one, two, and three, but 99 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,600 Speaker 3: who's four, who's five? And how are we going to 100 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 3: incorporate them? So it's another exercise in that they've had 101 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 3: so much practice this year. I think it's probably just 102 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 3: easy peasy at this point in time. It's like, yeah, 103 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 3: we'll just do what we got to do and manage 104 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:37,679 Speaker 3: how we have to manage. 105 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:38,039 Speaker 6: Yeah. 106 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 5: I think the foot and ankle injury for Palmer has 107 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 5: really affected his ability to continue to grow the chemistry 108 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:48,720 Speaker 5: with this quarterback, Josh Allen. I mean, in the last 109 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:53,719 Speaker 5: four games he's had just one catch. Think about putting, 110 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 5: you know, putting in the work together for the final 111 00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 5: few weeks of the season to be able to make 112 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 5: a playoff run. Bummer to see that he has not 113 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 5: practiced at all this week questionable for Sunday, as you said, 114 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 5: but just a newer receiver to the roster who's kind 115 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 5: of been in and out of lineup every in the 116 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 5: entire season, I should say, I mean starting in October 117 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 5: is when that really started to become a nagging injury 118 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 5: for him, and he would have hoped to see him 119 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 5: finish the season strong in terms of the targets that 120 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 5: were being thrown his way and in terms of his health, 121 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 5: and it just hasn't worked out that way for Palmer. 122 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 5: He signed a three year contract with Buffalo back in 123 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 5: the offseason, so we'll see where that connection goes once 124 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 5: the group kind of gets back together for next season. 125 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 5: Hopefully Palmer can be a part of the lineup in 126 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 5: the playoffs at some point as the Bills make a 127 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:50,720 Speaker 5: deep playoff runt. I did think the question to McDermott 128 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 5: about possibly having two kickers elevated for this game was 129 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 5: an interesting one because it is something you gotta believe 130 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 5: the coaching staff is figuring out and talking about in 131 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 5: case Prater goes out of the lineup, which we saw 132 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 5: happen in Week eighteen against the Jets. He couldn't finish 133 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 5: that game to the dude to the right quad injury, 134 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 5: and Petter said, you know, I think it was the 135 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 5: cold weather. It kind of just tightened up on me. 136 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 5: Now they don't have to worry about that in Jacksonville, 137 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 5: at least with the weather. But you want to make 138 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 5: sure you have every chance at beating the Jacksonville Jaguars. 139 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 5: And if you're without your kicker for part of the game, 140 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 5: that really changes what you can do. 141 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 3: What happens if you got to kick a fifty four 142 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 3: yard or to win the game and he's like, yeah, 143 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 3: I can't do it. My leg's not good enough, Like 144 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,840 Speaker 3: I can't rear back and let it rip. I just 145 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 3: I think if you're if there is any shred of 146 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 3: doubt that he can't do anything and everything you expect 147 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 3: him to do in a game, you got to pivot 148 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 3: to Matthew Wright. I think you do. And I don't 149 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 3: know if you can afford to gobble up two game 150 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 3: day roster spots with two kickers who are going to 151 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 3: play come, you know, a total of twelve plays. Like 152 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 3: that's all hard for me to stomach, knowing you could 153 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,680 Speaker 3: have an injury in the first quarter and you need somebody, 154 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 3: you know, a defensive back or a linebacker or something, 155 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,439 Speaker 3: and you don't have that guy because you dressed a 156 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,840 Speaker 3: second kicker. I just I think you just go with 157 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 3: the healthiest guy you have, if you're even if you 158 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:18,840 Speaker 3: even have an ounce of doubt that praterer's not going 159 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 3: to be able to do everything. But let's get to 160 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 3: the Bills. Practice updates, which are presented by leecom your 161 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 3: Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine and head coach Sean 162 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 3: McDermott on WGR this morning and then later with the media, 163 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 3: confirmed that cornerback Max Harston and linebacker Torel Bernard will 164 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 3: be out for Sunday's game. I don't think that's much 165 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 3: of a surprise the way it was heading coach even 166 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 3: said on Monday Harston was unlikely to play with the 167 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 3: ankle injury. Safety DeMar Hamlin, who remains on injured reserve. 168 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 3: He had his practice window open this week in his 169 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 3: return from a torn pectoral muscle, but not ready to 170 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:59,839 Speaker 3: return from injured reserve, so he will stay there for now. 171 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 3: We already talked about Palmer not practicing today, but is 172 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 3: going to be listed as questionable for the game. As 173 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 3: for Prader, he said he will not practice today, but 174 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:13,839 Speaker 3: that isn't uncommon for kickers to not do anything on 175 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:17,679 Speaker 3: a Friday. Yesterday was his big day. Coach said that 176 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 3: Prater did some good things. They'll have to see how 177 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,199 Speaker 3: he trends going into the weekend, but he is also 178 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 3: going to be listed as questionable. I think the biggest 179 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,080 Speaker 3: one on this list, Mattie is running back Ty Johnson. 180 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,640 Speaker 3: He's going to participate in practice today. They'll see how 181 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 3: he does and determine his game status. He has not 182 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 3: practiced Wednesday or Thursday, practicing today coming back from that 183 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,200 Speaker 3: ankle injury that he suffered in the Jets game. I 184 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:45,720 Speaker 3: was encouraged because I saw when he tweaked the ankle. 185 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 3: It was midway through the game and he was out 186 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 3: for a little bit, but he did finish the game 187 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 3: against the Jets, so I was encouraged by that. And 188 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 3: then to see him not practice Wednesday Thursday, I was like, oh, jeez, 189 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 3: maybe it was a little more severe than we thought. 190 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 3: They need him He's critical to what they do, not 191 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 3: only on third down, but to spell James exactly in 192 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:11,559 Speaker 3: the pass game. And I think with the pass rush 193 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 3: and the two edge rushers that the Jags have, I 194 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,839 Speaker 3: know their numbers aren't great in terms of sacking quarterbacks. 195 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 3: I just want to know that Ty Johnson can be 196 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,720 Speaker 3: there as a safety valve receiving option. 197 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly. 198 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 5: I think Johnson can be a little bit of a 199 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:29,679 Speaker 5: secret weapon for this team in the playoffs. He's not 200 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,680 Speaker 5: somebody who has a heavy amount of carries or targets 201 00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 5: in every single game, but I really like the way 202 00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,960 Speaker 5: that Joe Brady schemes for him in certain matchups when 203 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 5: he does have those favorable matchups on the field. And 204 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,440 Speaker 5: thinking about going up against the best run defense in 205 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 5: the league and the Jaguars allowing just eighty six rushing 206 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,960 Speaker 5: yards per game during the regular season, you might want 207 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:51,960 Speaker 5: to go at it with a group approach, right, James 208 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:53,840 Speaker 5: Cook the best running back in the league this year 209 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:57,680 Speaker 5: in terms of rushing yards, winning that rushing title. But 210 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 5: I would believe that Ty Johnson and Ray Davis have 211 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 5: some type of role in this game if they want to, 212 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 5: and they believe that they can run on Jacksonville. 213 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, and look, I know people have tried to slice 214 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 3: the Jags run defense seven different ways to Sunday, and yes, 215 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 3: they are the number one run defense in football, but 216 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 3: teams that they've played against have also fallen far behind 217 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,079 Speaker 3: on the scoreboard and have had to throw. The Jaguars 218 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 3: have faced the fewest rushing attempts in the league this year, 219 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 3: so their number is going to be low naturally, not 220 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 3: trying to take anything away from their run stopping ability, 221 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,600 Speaker 3: but that's something you've got to factor into that equation 222 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 3: when assessing just how good their run defense is. The 223 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 3: only other injury note, linebacker Shaq Thompson is going to 224 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,439 Speaker 3: be limited in practice today. He is also going to 225 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,560 Speaker 3: be listed as questionable. Coach McDermott did say though he 226 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 3: expects him to be good to go for a game. 227 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:52,720 Speaker 3: Before the game, he's been dealing with a little bit 228 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 3: of a neck injury that he suffered a couple of 229 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:58,680 Speaker 3: weeks ago, and his presence in the lineup is critical. 230 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 3: You do not have Bernard. Shaq Thompson's your middle linebacker 231 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,560 Speaker 3: on Sunday, So hopefully he can play from start to 232 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:09,720 Speaker 3: finish and not have any issues crop up with his neck, 233 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:14,960 Speaker 3: because otherwise you're probably looking at Joe Andreeson and then 234 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 3: Bayle Inspector is probably a call up from the practice 235 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 3: squad to play on special teams in Andresen's place. Yeah, 236 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,679 Speaker 3: that's probably what you'd be looking at if Thompson has 237 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 3: to exit the game for whatever reason. 238 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,960 Speaker 5: Thompson's availability is critical based on his skill set, based 239 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:31,439 Speaker 5: on the fact that Bernard is not going to be 240 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,600 Speaker 5: a part of lineup on Sunday, But I think also 241 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:37,040 Speaker 5: from a veteran leadership standpoint, Shaq Thompson has meant so 242 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,079 Speaker 5: much to Buffalo's locker room this season. I've been going 243 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 5: around talking to guys in locker room this week just 244 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,719 Speaker 5: about the type of grit that this team has had 245 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 5: throughout the entire season, kind of fighting with their backs 246 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,200 Speaker 5: against the wall and a lot of those big second 247 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 5: half comebacks, And you ask them about a player who's 248 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 5: kind of represented the grit, and a lot of guys 249 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 5: go back to Thompson and just what he's offered to 250 00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:01,840 Speaker 5: this team. The times that he's spoken up in team 251 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 5: meetings and really helped inject some life into the. 252 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 6: Group in the second half of the season. 253 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,320 Speaker 5: Yeah, he's definitely a juice guy, and speaking to him yesterday, 254 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 5: he said, Maddie, I play with the mindset that I 255 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 5: play to get hurt, because if you play out there 256 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 5: thinking I don't want to get hurt, I don't want 257 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 5: to put my body on the line, then then what 258 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 5: happens is you usually end up getting hurt because you're 259 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 5: trying not to. He says, I go at it with 260 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 5: one hundred and ten percent effort and if an injury happens, 261 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 5: it happens. But I'm going to put my body online 262 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 5: for the team. He also said I haven't been in 263 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 5: the playoffs in seven or eight seasons. He said, a 264 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,280 Speaker 5: lot of people wait for an opportunity like this, and 265 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 5: I'm so excited to be back there. He was in 266 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:47,080 Speaker 5: the playoffs with Cam Newton at Carolina and is really 267 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 5: pumped to be there with Josh Allen this year. 268 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 3: Taking a look at the Jaguars injury report, I would 269 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 3: say the biggest potential absence for them is their left 270 00:14:56,480 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 3: tackle cole Van Lannon has not practiced at all this week, 271 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 3: and the early Friday report was that he was working 272 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 3: on the side, so still not practicing with the team today. 273 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 3: He has a knee injury, So if he does not play, 274 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 3: Walker Little would be the guy that steps in for him. 275 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 3: Walker Little used to be this team's left tackle, but 276 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,320 Speaker 3: they felt they could do better with Van Lannon and 277 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 3: they've moved Little to guard and he's played more at 278 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 3: guard than tackle. So we'll see what they ultimately decide 279 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 3: to do there come Sunday, and we'll see when the 280 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 3: Jaguars Friday report comes out. The guard they picked up 281 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 3: in free agency from Baltimore, Patrick McCarey, also dealing with 282 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,520 Speaker 3: a back injury. He's been limited in practice this week. 283 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 3: And then a couple of members of their secondary have 284 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 3: been nicked up. Greg Newsom's been fighting through a shoulder injury. 285 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 3: He's been limited in practice. I would expect him to play, 286 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 3: but you know, he makes the wrong tackle with that shoulder, 287 00:15:56,640 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 3: he could reaggravate that pretty easily. And then monter Rick Brown, 288 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 3: the other corner, has been dealing with a neck injury himself. 289 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,320 Speaker 3: He's been limited in practice. So we'll see what the 290 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:11,480 Speaker 3: final injury report holds for the Jags when they release 291 00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 3: it later this afternoon. I've got to go around the NFL, 292 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 3: which is presented by Kalida Health, the official Healthcare System 293 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 3: of the Buffalo Bills, and according to the NFL Network, 294 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 3: the Ravens have now requested to interview Bills OC Joe 295 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 3: Brady for their head coaching position. He can interview after 296 00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:37,760 Speaker 3: Buffalo plays this weekend. If Buffalo wins, he would interview 297 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:43,000 Speaker 3: virtually and those can begin starting on Tuesday. The Ravens 298 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 3: also reported that they have completed a head coaching interview 299 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 3: with Seattle OC Clint Kubiak, which is no surprise. He's 300 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 3: a hot commodity right now in coaching circles and with 301 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:57,360 Speaker 3: Seattle on the by, he was able to interview this week. 302 00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 3: So I think we were all kind of expecting Joe 303 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 3: Brady to be in the interview cycle again this year, 304 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:04,000 Speaker 3: much like he was last year. 305 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:08,000 Speaker 5: Yeah, not a shock to anybody, based on the fact 306 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:11,520 Speaker 5: of what type of offense he's put together last two seasons. 307 00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,440 Speaker 5: I mean, the Bills finishes a top ten offense averaging 308 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,520 Speaker 5: about twenty eight points per game, So it makes sense 309 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:19,520 Speaker 5: that Brady would be a part of some of those 310 00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:24,240 Speaker 5: head coaching interviews as well. And just remembering what Brady 311 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:26,639 Speaker 5: had to say about the process last year and the 312 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 5: fact that it did come during the playoffs. Brady made 313 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:32,840 Speaker 5: sure to say, you know, my eyes are on this team. 314 00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:37,160 Speaker 5: My preparation is getting this team into the playoffs and 315 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:41,159 Speaker 5: through the playoffs. These interviews, while they are important, my 316 00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,480 Speaker 5: focus is on Buffalo Bills football right now. 317 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, so we'll see where it goes. I would expect 318 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:48,880 Speaker 3: other teams to come forward. I mean we were talking 319 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,720 Speaker 3: about it yesterday on the show MANNY. A quarter of 320 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:53,920 Speaker 3: the league is looking for a head coach right now. Yeah, 321 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:58,080 Speaker 3: eight open jobs. So there are a lot of open 322 00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:01,240 Speaker 3: positions and a lot of other assistant roles to be 323 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,880 Speaker 3: filled here. So I think a lot of teams are 324 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 3: going to see members of their current staff getting plucked away. 325 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:12,480 Speaker 3: Across the league, the Miami Dolphins are zeroing in on 326 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:17,280 Speaker 3: Packers vice president of player Personnel Joe Eric Sullivan to 327 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:20,359 Speaker 3: be their new general manager. That has led to speculation 328 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 3: on head coaching candidates, as Sullivan has ties to Mike McCarthy, 329 00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:29,639 Speaker 3: Jags defensive coordinator Anthony Campanelli, Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley, 330 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:33,439 Speaker 3: and Green Bay offensive coordinator Adam Stenovich. So they're already 331 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:36,879 Speaker 3: trying to build a list for head coaching candidates. They 332 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:41,480 Speaker 3: may request if In fact, Joe Eric Sullivan is named 333 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,120 Speaker 3: the new general manager. Officially, nothing official yet, but that's 334 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:48,119 Speaker 3: what the reports are indicating. Cleveland Browns have requested to 335 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:52,639 Speaker 3: interview Chargers defensive coordinator Jesse Minter for their head coaching vacancy. 336 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:56,880 Speaker 3: Titans have put in requests to interview Chargers defensive coordinator 337 00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:01,200 Speaker 3: Jesse Minter as well, along with Rams defensive coordinator Chris Shula. 338 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:06,440 Speaker 3: Cowboys are looking for a new defensive coordinator and interviews 339 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,879 Speaker 3: are going to begin with Vikings defensive pass game coordinator 340 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:13,760 Speaker 3: Deronte Jones, brown safety's coach f from Banda, and they're 341 00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:17,400 Speaker 3: also going to speak with Broncos defensive pass game coordinator 342 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:21,679 Speaker 3: and former Bill Jim Leonard tomorrow. So good for Jimmy. 343 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 3: That guy is as sharp as attack. I remember when 344 00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:27,480 Speaker 3: he was here as a safety. He basically taught George 345 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 3: Wilson how to play safety as he made the transition 346 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:34,680 Speaker 3: from wide receiver to safety as a pro, and ironically 347 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 3: George ended up taking his job. But Jim is just 348 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:42,199 Speaker 3: an unbelievable teacher and a student of the game. So 349 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 3: if Dallas is smart, they would hire Jimmy Leonard. Bear's 350 00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:49,880 Speaker 3: wide receiver Roma Dunze Maddie expected to return to the lineup, 351 00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,440 Speaker 3: looking like he's coming back from that foot injury. He's 352 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 3: had a stress fracture in his foot basically since late October. 353 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:00,840 Speaker 3: The last time he tried to play through it was 354 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 3: in week thirteen, but looks like he is going to play. 355 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 3: It was a full participant in practice yesterday. Doesn't have 356 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 3: an injury designation, so hoping to play against the Packers. 357 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 3: Just give us a census to That's like Bill's Dolphins 358 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,360 Speaker 3: in the playoffs, right, Bears Packers?

I should say Bears fans do not like 361 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:27,960 Speaker 5: the Packers. My family is really excited about the matchup. 362 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 5: Being from Chicago, I can't wait for the Bears to 363 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:33,680 Speaker 5: beat the Packers and Bears move on the playoffs. 364 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:34,240 Speaker 3: Saturday. 365 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:36,120 Speaker 6: Yeah, Saturday Night on Prime. 366 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:37,720 Speaker 3: NFC is all Saturday games. 367 00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:39,960 Speaker 5: I will be sat and ready to watch that one 368 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:41,080 Speaker 5: from start to finish. 369 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 6: I cannot wait.

But let us take your phone calls 381 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,399 Speaker 3: from the obl Friday fan mail bag at eight O 382 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 3: three oh five fifty one eighty eight five fifty two, 383 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:20,560 Speaker 3: five fifty and we're gonna lead off with Steve and 384 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:22,200 Speaker 3: Orchard Park. Steve, what do you got for us? You're 385 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 3: on one Bill's Live. 386 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:27,920 Speaker 7: All right, good afternoons. Just a couple of things. 387 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:28,960 Speaker 8: Uh. 388 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:34,399 Speaker 7: The national narrative around this game is I'd say it's 389 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 7: a little bit of the negative on the Bills, and 390 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:40,400 Speaker 7: they're pretty gun hole on the Jaguars. But I think 391 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:46,159 Speaker 7: there's two things and that why I like the Bills. First, 392 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 7: I am their playoff experience. They've been in the big 393 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 7: game before. They know what to expect. If things start 394 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:55,680 Speaker 7: going sideways a little bit, I don't think you'll see 395 00:21:55,760 --> 00:22:00,879 Speaker 7: panic because they've been there before. Second, second thing is 396 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:02,639 Speaker 7: and I know, Chris, people have been talking to you 397 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 7: this week about the Jaguars and in their schedule the 398 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:11,240 Speaker 7: last seven eight games, not exactly the NFL elite. I 399 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 7: know they've done well against them, but it does matter 400 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,879 Speaker 7: who you play. You know, iron sharpens iron, and we 401 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 7: have played some really good teams this year, so that 402 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:27,439 Speaker 7: booies my confidence in our team. And one last thing 403 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:31,640 Speaker 7: I'd like to say, Chris. Greg Krusel is on your 404 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,040 Speaker 7: show a lot, and he's a great I love when 405 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:38,800 Speaker 7: he's on. But before the Philly game, he was on 406 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,280 Speaker 7: a podcast and of course everyone talks about our run 407 00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:45,120 Speaker 7: defense and lack of receivers, which is you know, which 408 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:48,520 Speaker 7: is legit. He just made a comment and at the 409 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:50,240 Speaker 7: end he goes at the end he told the guy, 410 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,439 Speaker 7: he goes, listen, this Buffalo Bills team. They are not 411 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:56,800 Speaker 7: a good football team. And I was like, WHOA, I 412 00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:00,720 Speaker 7: has taken it back by that, because I think we 413 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,160 Speaker 7: are a good football team. We haven't played our best 414 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:06,119 Speaker 7: ball game in and game out, but make no mistake 415 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 7: about it, we are a good football team. And when 416 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,200 Speaker 7: he said that, I kind of like was like, wow, 417 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,439 Speaker 7: I can't believe he said that, but just was wondering 418 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:16,400 Speaker 7: your thoughts on that. Thanks, I'll hang. 419 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:19,439 Speaker 3: Up yeah, like yeah, hard for me to say, not 420 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:25,200 Speaker 3: knowing the context of that comment. I know, even with us, 421 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 3: he has commented on the talent level of the roster, 422 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 3: and I think he's of the belief that there isn't 423 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,919 Speaker 3: that the roster isn't flush with elite talent. But I 424 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 3: think as a team it is one of the better 425 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:43,159 Speaker 3: teams in football. And last I check, football is a 426 00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:47,480 Speaker 3: team sport, and I think that's why the national narrative 427 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:50,080 Speaker 3: is what it is, because people look at the roster 428 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,480 Speaker 3: and they don't see enough household names, Like you look 429 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:57,600 Speaker 3: at the Eagles roster and there are recognizable household names 430 00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:01,159 Speaker 3: up and down the thing for offense defense teams. I mean, 431 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,479 Speaker 3: they got a bunch of Pro Bowl All Stars littered 432 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,160 Speaker 3: up and down that roster. I get why people love 433 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,399 Speaker 3: the Eagles because they have recognizable players with track records 434 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 3: of success, and the Bills don't have a lot of 435 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:16,960 Speaker 3: those guys. I get it, But I think the Bills 436 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,560 Speaker 3: are one of the better teams at playing team football, 437 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:24,720 Speaker 3: particularly on defense, where I think very quietly their level 438 00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:28,320 Speaker 3: of play has improved down the stretch. Here, I think 439 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:32,960 Speaker 3: Bobby Babbage and coach McDermott have found a nice formula 440 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:36,400 Speaker 3: to execute a pass rush that works. I saw Dan 441 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:39,360 Speaker 3: Orlovsky on NFL Live yesterday, who's on our show once 442 00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:42,480 Speaker 3: a week, and he was talking about some of the 443 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:46,639 Speaker 3: blitz packages that they devise, and he was showing some 444 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,679 Speaker 3: of the clips from the Eagles game where Jalen Hurts 445 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:54,160 Speaker 3: has no idea what he is looking at, and Orlovsky 446 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:56,919 Speaker 3: described it as are you looking at this? This is 447 00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:00,359 Speaker 3: Star Wars type stuff here, And even the guys sitting 448 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,199 Speaker 3: next to him on the set was like whoa Like 449 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:06,280 Speaker 3: he clearly had not seen that play. But basically, three 450 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:10,000 Speaker 3: linebackers all up in gaps looking to blitz. They all drop, 451 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:13,800 Speaker 3: A corner comes off the one edge, a safety comes 452 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,600 Speaker 3: from depth and blitzes off the other edge, and Jalen 453 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:18,840 Speaker 3: Hurts is running for his life because he has no 454 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:20,960 Speaker 3: idea what he's looking at. And I'm just gonna say, 455 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,280 Speaker 3: in week fifteen, in the second half against New England, 456 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:27,400 Speaker 3: Drake may looked exactly the same. So I just think 457 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:31,720 Speaker 3: the defense is underrated because people haven't paid close enough 458 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:35,359 Speaker 3: attention to how it has improved in the final month 459 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:37,720 Speaker 3: and a half of the season, and I think it'll 460 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 3: show up on Sunday, and Josh is coming off a 461 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,520 Speaker 3: game against the Eagles where he did not play very 462 00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 3: well in terms of key decision making at key times. 463 00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:51,280 Speaker 3: Josh Allen doesn't play two stinkers in a row. 464 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:53,800 Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly, ever so exactly. 465 00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:58,680 Speaker 5: I think about the defense and their second half of 466 00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,680 Speaker 5: the season, and you may those blitz packages. I've talked 467 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,560 Speaker 5: to Trey White about this multiple times and he says, 468 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:08,000 Speaker 5: you know, we can do things like this because we've 469 00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:10,400 Speaker 5: been together for so many years. If you were looking 470 00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,760 Speaker 5: at Bill's defense, who was flushed with new players, you 471 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,439 Speaker 5: would not be seeing this at this point of the season. 472 00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:18,919 Speaker 5: I think there's very few teams that have the capability 473 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:22,439 Speaker 5: of doing this because there's newness to a roster. And 474 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:24,960 Speaker 5: I think because the veterans that you have on that 475 00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:27,320 Speaker 5: defense and the coaches that you have that have been 476 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 5: here for some time, I think you're able to do 477 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:33,480 Speaker 5: things like this. And you see it having success on 478 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:37,240 Speaker 5: the field. You see it confusing quarterbacks like Jalen Hurts 479 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:41,360 Speaker 5: and Drake May. Trevor Lawrence has thrown interceptions this year. 480 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,520 Speaker 5: Trevor Lawrence has been sacked more than Josh Allen. I 481 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,040 Speaker 5: think he is gettable with the right scheme that's been 482 00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:50,040 Speaker 5: thrown at him. I don't think he's this quarterback who 483 00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:53,399 Speaker 5: is untouchable. Yes, the Jaguars have been on a heater 484 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:56,520 Speaker 5: in the last eight weeks. Yes they're averaging like thirty 485 00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,360 Speaker 5: three points per game, But I don't think they're unstoppable 486 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:00,160 Speaker 5: by any means. 487 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, and to the caller's point, and we got to 488 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:04,959 Speaker 3: get to a break here. But to the caller's point, 489 00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:07,960 Speaker 3: in six of the last eight games, the Jaguars have 490 00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:11,399 Speaker 3: faced either a backup quarterback or a rookie quarterback. On 491 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:14,000 Speaker 3: their eight game winning streak, they played the Colts twice 492 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:17,959 Speaker 3: and faced Riley Leonard both times. I mean Daniel Jones played, 493 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:21,440 Speaker 3: He threw seven passes and then had his season ending 494 00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:24,080 Speaker 3: injury in the first game against the Jags and obviously 495 00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,600 Speaker 3: didn't play in the second. Cam Ward's on that list. 496 00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,400 Speaker 3: I mean, there's a slew of guys. Even Justin Herbert 497 00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,639 Speaker 3: had to leave the game injured in the second half 498 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,760 Speaker 3: against the Jaguars, although the Jags were up comfortably twenty 499 00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:39,200 Speaker 3: eight to six. Got to take a break here when 500 00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:42,640 Speaker 3: we come back. More of your phone calls, including our 501 00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:46,520 Speaker 3: examination of collision course. But we're here at Northtown Toyota 502 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,840 Speaker 3: eleven thirty five Millersport Highway and Amherst. We're here till three. 503 00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,399 Speaker 3: Stop by and see us on One Bills Live presented 504 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:53,080 Speaker 3: by Kalida Health. 505 00:27:53,080 --> 00:28:11,120 Speaker 9: It's Buffalo Bills Radio. 506 00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:15,760 Speaker 3: Back here on a Friday edition of One Bill's Live, 507 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:19,760 Speaker 3: and it's time for Collision. Course was ended by Gabe's 508 00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:23,800 Speaker 3: Collision Your Car's best defense, and this one's pretty straightforward. 509 00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:26,800 Speaker 3: It's the Bill's number one rushing attack against the jags 510 00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:31,440 Speaker 3: number one run defense. And really, the guy you've got 511 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:35,000 Speaker 3: to account for in this is a Luocan. This guy's 512 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:38,360 Speaker 3: got his sixth consecutive season of over one hundred tackles. 513 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:41,160 Speaker 3: I think he's got one hundred and forty three. Guy 514 00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:44,000 Speaker 3: is all over the field. I still remember him from 515 00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:47,400 Speaker 3: the London game a couple of years ago. He's just 516 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:51,720 Speaker 3: sidelined to sideline, making plays everywhere at all three levels 517 00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:55,760 Speaker 3: of the defense. Super duper athlete. I think he's underrated. 518 00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:58,280 Speaker 3: We were talking to Mitch Morse earlier this week. Obviously 519 00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:00,760 Speaker 3: he played with him last year, and he's like, yeah, 520 00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:03,080 Speaker 3: he's a very underrated player, So I think if you 521 00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:06,800 Speaker 3: can find a way to get a hat on him, 522 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:10,000 Speaker 3: I think your run game can have pretty consistent success. 523 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:13,560 Speaker 5: Yeah, that defense is loaded with talent who's been drafted 524 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,000 Speaker 5: in the early rounds, something you definitely have to account 525 00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:18,720 Speaker 5: for when game planning for how you're going to find 526 00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:22,000 Speaker 5: those holes in the Jags defense. Even though the Jags 527 00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:23,880 Speaker 5: are the best in the league and haven't allowed a 528 00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:27,920 Speaker 5: seventy five yard rusher this season, Buffalo, I do think, 529 00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:30,240 Speaker 5: is going to try to run the football. It's the 530 00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:32,840 Speaker 5: best way to be an opponent is with a balanced attack, 531 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:34,720 Speaker 5: and I think they're going to try to do both. 532 00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:38,120 Speaker 5: I think, don't Kinkaid being healthy in this game is 533 00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:43,000 Speaker 5: a big, big upside for Buffalo, just knowing that they 534 00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:44,160 Speaker 5: can have him on the field. 535 00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:46,440 Speaker 6: I think he's a real cheat code for this offense. 536 00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:50,160 Speaker 5: I think the offense really operates how it should operate 537 00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:51,840 Speaker 5: when you have Kinkaid a part of the lineup. 538 00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:54,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, he's actually going into this game with no injury 539 00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:57,480 Speaker 3: designation for the first time in a long time, which 540 00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:00,520 Speaker 3: is encouraging. And I believe if I remember read it right, 541 00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:04,400 Speaker 3: the Jags defense has given up the sixth most yards 542 00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:08,720 Speaker 3: this season two opposing tight ends, so that is obviously encouraging, 543 00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:12,480 Speaker 3: and I think I believe the approach of the Bills 544 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:14,040 Speaker 3: is going to be to stick with that run. To 545 00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 3: your point, Mattie, like they call those like one in 546 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,640 Speaker 3: two yard runs that they might have early in the game, 547 00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:23,680 Speaker 3: they call those bloody runs. They don't mind having some 548 00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,480 Speaker 3: of those, and I don't think they get discouraged when 549 00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:29,960 Speaker 3: they only have two or three yard runs from James 550 00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:33,640 Speaker 3: Cook or whoever's starring in the football. They believe that 551 00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:36,520 Speaker 3: with the passage of time through the course of the game, 552 00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:38,800 Speaker 3: those two and three yard runs are going to become 553 00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,440 Speaker 3: five and six yard runs in the third and the 554 00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:44,480 Speaker 3: fourth quarter. You just hope the game is in a 555 00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:47,959 Speaker 3: place where they can continue to do that and not 556 00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:52,560 Speaker 3: have to go to the air as much. Although it's 557 00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:54,720 Speaker 3: hard not to think about the game last year in 558 00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:57,680 Speaker 3: Week three, because a lot of the personnel for Jacksonville 559 00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:01,080 Speaker 3: on defense is the same was last year. Now, last 560 00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,360 Speaker 3: year they played a lot more man coverage and the 561 00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:06,840 Speaker 3: Bill slice and dice man coverage. The defense under Campanelli 562 00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:10,360 Speaker 3: is much more zone coverage based, so that is a difference. 563 00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:14,000 Speaker 3: But I know that if they decide to go match up. 564 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,680 Speaker 3: The Bills feel confident in what they have it at 565 00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,680 Speaker 3: the receiving positions and tight end obviously to make some 566 00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:23,760 Speaker 3: plays there too as well if necessary. So I know 567 00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:25,880 Speaker 3: everybody's talking about the run game and the run defense, 568 00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:27,200 Speaker 3: but I think there are gonna be a lot more 569 00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:28,560 Speaker 3: layers to this game than that. 570 00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:30,600 Speaker 5: One thing that I did think was interesting that you 571 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,040 Speaker 5: brought up when we were taping Buffalo Bill's Weekly about 572 00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:36,520 Speaker 5: the run game was James Cook's ability this season to 573 00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,640 Speaker 5: bounce runs on the outside and one way that that's 574 00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:42,800 Speaker 5: made him such a good running back this season, and 575 00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:44,840 Speaker 5: that he might not be able to do that as 576 00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:48,440 Speaker 5: much against the Jaguars defense, knowing the two defensive ends 577 00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:48,960 Speaker 5: that they have. 578 00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:52,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, tall, long rangey, so and they're going to be 579 00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,200 Speaker 3: looking for that because he's done that a lot this season. 580 00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:57,920 Speaker 3: So you know, maybe James has a counter for that, 581 00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:00,360 Speaker 3: like maybe bend it and make it look like you're 582 00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:02,240 Speaker 3: going back, get the guy to jump this way and 583 00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:05,719 Speaker 3: then cut inside him and just you know, shortest distance 584 00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:07,640 Speaker 3: between two points is a straight line kind of deal, 585 00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:10,400 Speaker 3: and maybe just get what you can get to stay 586 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:12,760 Speaker 3: in favorable down in distance. But let's get back to 587 00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:16,640 Speaker 3: the phones on this OBL Friday fan mail bag. As 588 00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:19,720 Speaker 3: we are at Northtown Toyota eleven thirty five Miller'sport Highway 589 00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:23,240 Speaker 3: in Amherst for today's show, and we go to Lee 590 00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:28,400 Speaker 3: in Buffalo next. What's up Lee? Yeah? How you doing good? 591 00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:29,600 Speaker 1: Yeah? 592 00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:33,000 Speaker 10: I got a few things. The one thing I would 593 00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:36,160 Speaker 10: like to say is my first thing is I think 594 00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:39,400 Speaker 10: this is McDermott's best coaching year. I'm not saying he's 595 00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:41,560 Speaker 10: not a bad coach, but the other year is. But 596 00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:44,240 Speaker 10: this year, I think he's been doing a fantastic job, 597 00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:50,280 Speaker 10: especially with all the injuries. My second thing is, with 598 00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:55,160 Speaker 10: Joshua Palmer possibly not playing, can this be a Gabe 599 00:32:55,240 --> 00:33:00,560 Speaker 10: Davis revenge game? I mean, let's he's it seems to 600 00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:04,200 Speaker 10: come out in the playoffs, like I'm sure everybody still 601 00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:08,520 Speaker 10: remembers a few years ago. And you know, even against Pittsburgh, 602 00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:11,600 Speaker 10: when the Bills played in Buffalo against Pittsburgh, he still 603 00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:15,280 Speaker 10: had a good game. And my third thing is, Chris, 604 00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:17,800 Speaker 10: I got to give you a lot of I got 605 00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:20,400 Speaker 10: to give you a good applause for your sendoff on 606 00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:23,680 Speaker 10: the radio the other night. I'm one of those guys 607 00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:27,000 Speaker 10: that practically almost grew up at high Mark Stadium because 608 00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:30,720 Speaker 10: my father had season tickets for years and years, and 609 00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:33,360 Speaker 10: that was a beautiful sendoff. I just wanted to say. 610 00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:37,240 Speaker 3: That, Well, thanks for that. I appreciate you saying that. Lee. Yeah, 611 00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:40,840 Speaker 3: I wanted to make sure we hit all the right notes, 612 00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:43,120 Speaker 3: and hopefully we did. For a lot of people out there. 613 00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:46,800 Speaker 3: The feedback from everybody has been wonderful, and I do 614 00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:49,760 Speaker 3: appreciate that. I was just trying to send that place 615 00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:52,720 Speaker 3: out on the right note because I'd spent more. I 616 00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:54,880 Speaker 3: spent about thirty years of my career driving out to 617 00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:57,360 Speaker 3: that place, whether I was working for the team or 618 00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:00,560 Speaker 3: covering the team, so I felt that I had at 619 00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:06,680 Speaker 3: least enough of an experience to encapsulate it as best 620 00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:08,520 Speaker 3: I could for everybody that's been going out there for 621 00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:11,279 Speaker 3: countless number of weekends to experience it. So, yeah, thank you. 622 00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:16,800 Speaker 3: I appreciate that. Gabe Davis Maddie, I looked it up yesterday, 623 00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:19,520 Speaker 3: so we know that in the regular season his career 624 00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:22,239 Speaker 3: catch rate is fifty percent, not a great number. In 625 00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:25,359 Speaker 3: the playoffs it's ten percent higher, it's sixty percent, So 626 00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:29,719 Speaker 3: I was encouraged. I know it's the Jets defense. It's 627 00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:32,080 Speaker 3: a run for the Bus game, but the way he 628 00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:36,360 Speaker 3: moss the one defender in the end zone, made another tight, 629 00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:39,759 Speaker 3: window contested catch on a slant in the red zone 630 00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:42,160 Speaker 3: at the other end of the field later in the game. 631 00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:46,560 Speaker 3: I know people are calling it a revenge game. I 632 00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:49,400 Speaker 3: just think Gabe in the playoffs raises his level of 633 00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:51,040 Speaker 3: play no matter who he's playing against. 634 00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:53,960 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think Gabe Davis will be targeted by Josh 635 00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:57,640 Speaker 5: Allen in this game. Again, their rapport is very good. 636 00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:00,000 Speaker 5: You could see it in the game against the Jets. 637 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:03,239 Speaker 5: That's Josh trusting Gave Davis in the end zone for 638 00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:06,000 Speaker 5: that touchdown, going over a defender to make that grab. 639 00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:07,879 Speaker 6: That was incredible. And games like that. 640 00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:10,319 Speaker 5: Yes, like you said, it's a run for the bus game, 641 00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:12,560 Speaker 5: but a game like that, it does help a player's 642 00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:15,000 Speaker 5: confidence when you have two of those big time catches 643 00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:18,520 Speaker 5: in important moments in the game. And he played for 644 00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:21,080 Speaker 5: the Jacksonville Jaguars last year, Like I do think there 645 00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:24,719 Speaker 5: is a little bit of I want to prove why 646 00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:27,640 Speaker 5: you guys shouldn't have have let me go, Like I 647 00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:30,919 Speaker 5: am still a good talented receiver, and I think Gave 648 00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:32,680 Speaker 5: Davis is going to be motivated to do so in 649 00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:33,040 Speaker 5: this game. 650 00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:36,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, and look, he knows their personnel. He's gone against 651 00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:39,080 Speaker 3: him in practice accountless number of times. You can also 652 00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:42,160 Speaker 3: argue they know him. But I think there are some 653 00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:45,680 Speaker 3: cues that he can also give his fellow receivers, like, hey, 654 00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:47,640 Speaker 3: if you see this guy in this kind of a stance, 655 00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:50,160 Speaker 3: he's going to bail, you know, break your route off, 656 00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:53,440 Speaker 3: you know whatever, whatever, So I think there's something to 657 00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:56,320 Speaker 3: be taken from that. I don't think we should dismiss 658 00:35:56,360 --> 00:36:00,959 Speaker 3: the fact that senior defensive assistant Ryan neils and knows 659 00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:04,560 Speaker 3: their defensive personnel intimately well to having coached there just 660 00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:07,960 Speaker 3: last year. So there there is some intel here, I 661 00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:11,359 Speaker 3: think to be gained from both Davis, you know, and 662 00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:14,960 Speaker 3: Nielsen and Darnell Savage for that matter, who played for 663 00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,640 Speaker 3: the Jags last year, who's a reserve safety now for 664 00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:21,000 Speaker 3: the Bills. What was the second thing that he wanted 665 00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:24,239 Speaker 3: to know? He gave Davis the sendoff, and then he 666 00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:30,920 Speaker 3: had oh Shawn's coaching. So I would say, Sean, I 667 00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:35,840 Speaker 3: will give him full marks and kudos for doing more 668 00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:40,640 Speaker 3: with less this season. I think we can all agree 669 00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:43,920 Speaker 3: the shortage of manpower on the defensive side of the 670 00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:48,960 Speaker 3: ball has been monumental this year, and while there were hiccups, 671 00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:52,520 Speaker 3: I would say through from like week four to week 672 00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:55,959 Speaker 3: nine or ten, you know, they were trying to recalibrate 673 00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:59,800 Speaker 3: and figure it all out. Once this coaching staff figured 674 00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:02,839 Speaker 3: out how to deploy all the pieces they had left 675 00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:06,440 Speaker 3: at their disposal, we saw a big difference. And I 676 00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:09,120 Speaker 3: still don't think the national media has caught on No. 677 00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:13,200 Speaker 3: Two the strides this defense has made in the last 678 00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:16,200 Speaker 3: month and a half of the season. And I'm hoping 679 00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:19,040 Speaker 3: to hell it shows up on Sunday because I just 680 00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:22,520 Speaker 3: want to stuff it down the national media's throat and say, look, 681 00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:24,719 Speaker 3: this defense is better than you're giving it credit for. 682 00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:26,200 Speaker 3: So I hope it shows. 683 00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,560 Speaker 5: Up not littered with stars, but you know who cares. 684 00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:32,319 Speaker 5: Their numbers since week twelve, I think are some of 685 00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:34,719 Speaker 5: the best, second best in the league, allowing like two 686 00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:37,280 Speaker 5: hundred and fifty total yards per game, top ten run defense, 687 00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:40,080 Speaker 5: they're allowing just nineteen points per game since week twelve. 688 00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:42,560 Speaker 5: I mean, these are big time numbers that they've been 689 00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:45,080 Speaker 5: putting up. And it figured out a way to kind 690 00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:48,000 Speaker 5: of come together, have the Russian coverage work a lot 691 00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:51,320 Speaker 5: better together, and you've been seeing that in these games. 692 00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:54,680 Speaker 5: Speaking to Sean McDermott and the coach he's been this season, 693 00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:58,680 Speaker 5: this coaching staff has always put really good game game 694 00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:00,920 Speaker 5: plans together in the play and I think they're going 695 00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:03,839 Speaker 5: to do so against the Jacksonville Jaguars. I also think 696 00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:06,719 Speaker 5: that's a big reason why the locker room feels the 697 00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:09,440 Speaker 5: way it does right now. Just speaking to players throughout 698 00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:11,759 Speaker 5: the week, they feel like they're in a really good 699 00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:12,959 Speaker 5: place leading. 700 00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:13,480 Speaker 6: Into this game. 701 00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:16,240 Speaker 5: I think part of it that is also the veteran 702 00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:19,560 Speaker 5: leadership that's in the locker room, the playoff experience that 703 00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:22,480 Speaker 5: so many of these guys have, and they feel like 704 00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:26,200 Speaker 5: this isn't going to be the highest of highs or 705 00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:28,520 Speaker 5: the lowest of lows in this game because they know 706 00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:31,520 Speaker 5: how to be in a playoff game. Also, a lot 707 00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:33,600 Speaker 5: of these guys like the game plan for this week. 708 00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:36,879 Speaker 5: I've spoken to multiple players who say they feel really 709 00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:39,200 Speaker 5: good about the game plan going into this game and 710 00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:41,319 Speaker 5: they like what their coaches have put together for them. 711 00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:44,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, no question about it. Let's get back to the phones. 712 00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:45,840 Speaker 3: We'll go to Mark and West Seneca. 713 00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:48,040 Speaker 7: What's up Mark, Hey, get after you, guys. 714 00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:51,880 Speaker 8: A couple of quick comments and I have a question also, 715 00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:54,799 Speaker 8: but I'd be remiss if I didn't start out by 716 00:38:54,800 --> 00:39:00,319 Speaker 8: saying applause to your producers. God bless I hope knows 717 00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:04,479 Speaker 8: how much he means to Buffalo, not just football fans, 718 00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:06,880 Speaker 8: but the Buffalo in general. So God bless that man. 719 00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:10,839 Speaker 8: I just absolutely love him. As far as talking, your 720 00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:13,480 Speaker 8: comments about Sean McDermott sort of lead into one of 721 00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:17,880 Speaker 8: my comments. I believe when you look at this roster 722 00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:21,520 Speaker 8: and what this roster has been through injury wise this year, 723 00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:26,240 Speaker 8: it's absolutely amazing and mind boggling that they won twelve 724 00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:30,000 Speaker 8: games this year. It is absolutely one of the best 725 00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:34,600 Speaker 8: coaching jobs that's been done in the league. And as 726 00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:37,640 Speaker 8: far as you guys are talking about spinning the dial 727 00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:41,800 Speaker 8: and all these new kind of blitz packages and everything, 728 00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:45,200 Speaker 8: and I guess Maddy alluded to Tradevius saying, well, we've 729 00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:48,399 Speaker 8: been able to do that because of our experience back there. Well, 730 00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:51,120 Speaker 8: if you look at it, really the only guys that 731 00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:54,239 Speaker 8: have played together in any way, shape or form are 732 00:39:55,440 --> 00:40:02,359 Speaker 8: Karen mister White himself and maybe Milano. After that, everybody's new, 733 00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:04,319 Speaker 8: and that includes a lot of the guys on the 734 00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:07,880 Speaker 8: defensive line. So I want to give the coaching staff 735 00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:11,000 Speaker 8: the praise. It was an experience and these guys being 736 00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:14,800 Speaker 8: together for all these years, like when we had Poyer 737 00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:17,920 Speaker 8: and Hide back there, and they just were just amazing 738 00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:20,399 Speaker 8: because they played together for so long. This has been 739 00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:23,960 Speaker 8: a teaching process by our coaching staff through the whole season, 740 00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:26,920 Speaker 8: and now it's starting to really show that it's gaining 741 00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:31,520 Speaker 8: some traction. And then my question is I have a 742 00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:33,879 Speaker 8: friend and we were talking about, like we always do 743 00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:36,960 Speaker 8: different things about the Bills, and of course the passing 744 00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:40,080 Speaker 8: game comes up, and he says to me, well, the 745 00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:43,520 Speaker 8: Bills used to run about twenty percent twenty five percent 746 00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:47,400 Speaker 8: crossing routes in their passing game, and now these days 747 00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:53,600 Speaker 8: they're running like seventy percent crossing routes, which doesn't make 748 00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:56,120 Speaker 8: sense to me, because when I watched the games, I 749 00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:58,840 Speaker 8: think they have a very vertical passing game with a 750 00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:01,839 Speaker 8: lot of outbreakers. That's the feeling and what I see 751 00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:06,120 Speaker 8: most of the time, not that they never run crossing routes, 752 00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:10,239 Speaker 8: but if they were so predominantly running crossing routes. And 753 00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:13,400 Speaker 8: when I say crossing routes, I'm thinking under ten yards 754 00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:16,399 Speaker 8: across the face of Josh Allen, the ball would come 755 00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:20,640 Speaker 8: out a lot sooner on more often than it actually does, 756 00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:22,920 Speaker 8: but he sees to hold the ball looking for deeper 757 00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:26,040 Speaker 8: routes or at least in immediate routes. So I was 758 00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:29,800 Speaker 8: curious if you guys got a handle on how they're 759 00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:33,760 Speaker 8: actually running their games these days, because it seems contradictory 760 00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:37,960 Speaker 8: and he's getting his information supposedly from the All twenty two. 761 00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:40,360 Speaker 8: So that's my question. Thanks guys. 762 00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:46,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, sure thing, Mark, Yeah, kudos to the coaching staff. 763 00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:48,920 Speaker 3: Player development has always been a strength of this staff, 764 00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:51,520 Speaker 3: and I think you've seen it again this season with 765 00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:54,879 Speaker 3: the development of Cole Bishop, with the development of Dion 766 00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:58,200 Speaker 3: Walker up front. So yeah, you've seen it in certain 767 00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:01,759 Speaker 3: areas of this football team. Jackson Hawes tight end has 768 00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:05,759 Speaker 3: had a great rookie season. As for you know, the 769 00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:08,560 Speaker 3: number of inbreaking routes and outbreaking routes, I'm not gonna 770 00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:12,440 Speaker 3: cut it that fine. I think the inbreaking routes are 771 00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:16,319 Speaker 3: largely in Shakir and the tight ends department. If you're 772 00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:18,640 Speaker 3: playing if you're playing against a team that uses a 773 00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:21,919 Speaker 3: lot of man coverage, more of your outside receiver routes 774 00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:26,120 Speaker 3: are gonna work on inbreakers just to get separation. Easier 775 00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:29,239 Speaker 3: to get separation cutting in because there's more field to run, 776 00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:32,400 Speaker 3: you know, and create separation than if you break your 777 00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:35,000 Speaker 3: route outside towards the sideline, you're gonna run out of space. 778 00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:39,359 Speaker 3: And I think for the most part they faced more 779 00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:44,000 Speaker 3: zone defensive coverage schemes on the whole. I would say 780 00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:47,480 Speaker 3: I'm generalizing because I don't have the specifics in front 781 00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:51,000 Speaker 3: of me right now. To me, I know he's watching 782 00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:53,080 Speaker 3: the All twenty two and we all have the opportunity 783 00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:56,760 Speaker 3: to do that. But every game is different in terms 784 00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:59,040 Speaker 3: of what they feel is going to work for them, 785 00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:01,719 Speaker 3: and then as are made as the game unfold. So 786 00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:04,640 Speaker 3: to put a percentage on it, I think it's a 787 00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:08,520 Speaker 3: little might be a little misguided, and it's going to 788 00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:12,520 Speaker 3: change from game to game anyway. I'm sure people will 789 00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:14,759 Speaker 3: try to pin down the bills passing game and what 790 00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:16,960 Speaker 3: it likes to do the most, and they can find 791 00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:21,800 Speaker 3: tendencies and strengths. But I don't know if I'm willing 792 00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:24,080 Speaker 3: to go as far as your friend did in terms 793 00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:27,520 Speaker 3: of how many inbreakers and outbreakers and whether they do 794 00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:30,239 Speaker 3: this or that anymore, I don't know. I don't I 795 00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:32,959 Speaker 3: don't really have a good answer number one, but number two, 796 00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:36,280 Speaker 3: I don't know if it's It makes a tremendous difference, 797 00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:38,200 Speaker 3: especially entering this game. 798 00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:40,759 Speaker 5: I think one way they've been different this season too 799 00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:43,399 Speaker 5: that's affected the passing game a bit is the fact 800 00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:46,000 Speaker 5: that they've run the football more like second in the league, 801 00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:49,000 Speaker 5: with fifty point six percent of their plays being run 802 00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:51,359 Speaker 5: plays on offense. That is going to change how your 803 00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:54,200 Speaker 5: passing game looks in ways. But we hear from offensive 804 00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:57,960 Speaker 5: coordinator Joe Brady all the time when reporters do try 805 00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:01,440 Speaker 5: to pinpoint certain things. Brady is always quick to answer 806 00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:04,120 Speaker 5: it is a matchup based game and every game is 807 00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:07,160 Speaker 5: going to be different for us. Every game plan is 808 00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:10,000 Speaker 5: going to have different things compared to the previous week 809 00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:12,960 Speaker 5: because of what type of defenses that we're facing. 810 00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:15,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, and knowing that a lot of teams play this 811 00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:19,480 Speaker 3: offense top down and don't give you anything deep. A 812 00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:21,880 Speaker 3: lot of times the stuff that is open is in 813 00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:24,320 Speaker 3: the short to intermediate area in the middle of the field, 814 00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:27,600 Speaker 3: So you're almost by taking what the defense gives you. 815 00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:29,560 Speaker 3: You're going to that area of the field more often 816 00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:32,279 Speaker 3: as well. Got to take a break here.

You know 884 00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:23,840 Speaker 12: what I'm saying. It's like this man, Mahomes is gone, 885 00:48:24,280 --> 00:48:28,360 Speaker 12: Jackson is gone, and Burrow is gone, you know, and 886 00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:31,279 Speaker 12: Mahomes was in our way for years, you know what 887 00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:34,759 Speaker 12: I mean. So Josh is left with you know, it 888 00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:37,560 Speaker 12: seems like the other teams are new, but the Charger's 889 00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:40,839 Speaker 12: been here, Houston been here, Denver been here, Krischer been here. 890 00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:43,080 Speaker 12: So the new teams is like New England and the 891 00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:46,960 Speaker 12: team we're playing. We can't lose to them, man, we 892 00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:50,040 Speaker 12: cannot lose. We got to run this course. 893 00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:50,239 Speaker 8: Man. 894 00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:52,640 Speaker 12: I'm just trying to give encouragement to my team now 895 00:48:52,680 --> 00:48:55,239 Speaker 12: because now is the time, you know. That's all I 896 00:48:55,280 --> 00:48:55,759 Speaker 12: want to say. 897 00:48:56,600 --> 00:49:00,640 Speaker 3: Thank you, all right, very good, Milton, thank you for that. Yeah. 898 00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:03,680 Speaker 3: I think a lot of people feel that way. I 899 00:49:03,719 --> 00:49:07,520 Speaker 3: don't know if it's totally fair, because sometimes you get 900 00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:11,400 Speaker 3: young upstarts that don't care who's got playoff experience and 901 00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:13,440 Speaker 3: who doesn't. They want it just as bad as you do, 902 00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:17,080 Speaker 3: so you better bring it and bring it all. And 903 00:49:17,440 --> 00:49:20,799 Speaker 3: I'm confident that the Bills will do that. I don't 904 00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:22,880 Speaker 3: know what it is, Maddie, but this week I feel 905 00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:25,880 Speaker 3: like the O line feels as though they've still not 906 00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:29,720 Speaker 3: gotten the respect they feel they deserve, and I'm hoping 907 00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:33,439 Speaker 3: that that spurs them on even more in the game 908 00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:36,359 Speaker 3: on Sunday, because much has been made of the number 909 00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:40,200 Speaker 3: one run defense down there in Jacksonville, and nobody seems 910 00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:43,399 Speaker 3: to be giving Buffalo's offensive line much credit. For having 911 00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:45,319 Speaker 3: the leading rusher and football on their team. 912 00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:48,080 Speaker 6: So come on now, put some respects on their name. 913 00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:51,760 Speaker 5: I love a motivated offensive line going into this matchup 914 00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:52,760 Speaker 5: feeling like they got. 915 00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:55,239 Speaker 9: A little bit more to prove the disrespect. 916 00:49:55,360 --> 00:49:58,359 Speaker 3: Come on, because it only amps them up even more. 917 00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:00,799 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, we are up again. It's the clock here, 918 00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:02,840 Speaker 3: so we have to take a break. But our number 919 00:50:02,880 --> 00:50:06,120 Speaker 3: two of our show here from Northtown Toyota at eleven 920 00:50:06,160 --> 00:50:09,239 Speaker 3: thirty five Millisport Highway will begin in just a few 921 00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:12,320 Speaker 3: minutes after we get back from break with senior producer 922 00:50:12,320 --> 00:50:15,359 Speaker 3: from NFL Films, Greg Cosell, who's going to join us 923 00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:18,719 Speaker 3: on the line, and we will talk Bill's Jags and 924 00:50:18,800 --> 00:50:21,640 Speaker 3: some of the more intriguing matchups in this wild card game. 925 00:50:21,680 --> 00:50:23,839 Speaker 3: Next here on One Bill's Live presented by Kill Out 926 00:50:23,840 --> 00:51:26,080 Speaker 3: of Health, It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. 927 00:51:00,200 --> 00:51:04,320 Speaker 1: These One Bills Live presented by Kalida Health. 928 00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:09,280 Speaker 3: All right, our number two on a Friday, Chris Brown, 929 00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:12,160 Speaker 3: Maddy Glab with you, and please to welcome in now 930 00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:15,279 Speaker 3: senior producer from NFL Films, Greg co Seal, joining us 931 00:51:15,280 --> 00:51:18,040 Speaker 3: as he does every week, and Greg co Sale's weekly 932 00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:22,040 Speaker 3: appearance on One Bill's Live is presented by Pepsi. Pepsi 933 00:51:22,120 --> 00:51:25,000 Speaker 3: is the official soft drink of the Buffalo Bills. Food 934 00:51:25,680 --> 00:51:30,680 Speaker 3: deserves Pepsi. All right, Greg, we finally reached the postseason, 935 00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:33,880 Speaker 3: and the Bills, for the first time in six seasons, 936 00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:37,160 Speaker 3: are going to begin their playoff road on playoff path 937 00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:41,360 Speaker 3: on the road at Jacksonville, a team that is streaking 938 00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:46,800 Speaker 3: right now, winners of eight in a row. I'm curious, 939 00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:51,239 Speaker 3: how do you look at what many people have talked 940 00:51:51,280 --> 00:51:55,120 Speaker 3: about the strength on strength matchup with Buffalo's number one 941 00:51:55,160 --> 00:51:59,960 Speaker 3: rushing attack going against a Jaguars number one ranked run defense. 942 00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:04,399 Speaker 3: I thought it was worth noting that no one has 943 00:52:04,440 --> 00:52:08,239 Speaker 3: faced fewer rushing attempts than the Jaguars this season because 944 00:52:08,239 --> 00:52:11,760 Speaker 3: they've gotten up on teams. So I'm wondering how much 945 00:52:12,360 --> 00:52:15,680 Speaker 3: credence we give to that number one run defense ranking. 946 00:52:15,719 --> 00:52:16,360 Speaker 3: What do you think? 947 00:52:17,520 --> 00:52:20,120 Speaker 4: Well, I would say this. I would say, with very 948 00:52:20,239 --> 00:52:23,040 Speaker 4: very few exceptions, the Bills have essentially run the ball 949 00:52:23,080 --> 00:52:26,480 Speaker 4: against everybody. I mean, there's there's not really, I mean 950 00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:30,239 Speaker 4: I can't remember every specific game, Brownie. Maybe you might 951 00:52:30,280 --> 00:52:34,239 Speaker 4: know more offhand immediately, but theres really have not been 952 00:52:34,280 --> 00:52:36,840 Speaker 4: many games where their run game has been shut down. 953 00:52:37,280 --> 00:52:40,160 Speaker 4: I mean, obviously that's a relative term. Are you going 954 00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:41,840 Speaker 4: to run for you know, one eighty every week? Of 955 00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:45,400 Speaker 4: course not. But I don't really recall games where I 956 00:52:45,400 --> 00:52:49,319 Speaker 4: felt like they couldn't run it at all. So, you know, 957 00:52:49,400 --> 00:52:51,640 Speaker 4: I think that the Bills are going to do what 958 00:52:51,719 --> 00:52:56,760 Speaker 4: they do, and my guess is that they'll have meaningful success. 959 00:52:58,000 --> 00:52:59,680 Speaker 4: You know, now you get into the context of a 960 00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:02,919 Speaker 4: whole game and whether you can stay with the run game, 961 00:53:03,560 --> 00:53:06,040 Speaker 4: whether you know, Cook is going to get you know, 962 00:53:06,200 --> 00:53:09,160 Speaker 4: sixteen carries or twenty five carries. You know, then there's 963 00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:12,359 Speaker 4: other factors that play into that. But for the most part, 964 00:53:12,440 --> 00:53:15,719 Speaker 4: they've been able to pretty much run the ball against 965 00:53:16,080 --> 00:53:18,680 Speaker 4: every opponent, even opponents you didn't I mean, I remember 966 00:53:18,680 --> 00:53:21,120 Speaker 4: when they played the Chiefs and everybody talked about the 967 00:53:21,160 --> 00:53:23,719 Speaker 4: fact that, you know, the Chiefs run defense was really good, 968 00:53:24,160 --> 00:53:26,239 Speaker 4: and they you know, they people didn't think they could 969 00:53:26,280 --> 00:53:28,840 Speaker 4: run the ball, and they ran it really, really well. 970 00:53:29,160 --> 00:53:31,959 Speaker 4: I mean, nothing tells me that they won't be able 971 00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:37,759 Speaker 4: to run it based on watching them and watching the Jaguars. 972 00:53:39,520 --> 00:53:43,239 Speaker 5: Taking that match up a step further, where within the 973 00:53:43,360 --> 00:53:48,279 Speaker 5: Jaguars run defense will Buffalo have success And where could 974 00:53:48,320 --> 00:53:51,120 Speaker 5: the Jaguars limit Buffalo's rushing offense. 975 00:53:53,600 --> 00:53:57,160 Speaker 4: Well, you know, again, this is an Aaron Cromer thing, 976 00:53:57,160 --> 00:53:59,640 Speaker 4: and he's really really good at designing run games that 977 00:53:59,680 --> 00:54:04,799 Speaker 4: are pacific two opponents. You know, the Bills have been 978 00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:08,520 Speaker 4: very multiple with their run concepts throughout the season, and 979 00:54:09,200 --> 00:54:14,600 Speaker 4: they've done different things depending on the opponent. I and 980 00:54:14,640 --> 00:54:16,520 Speaker 4: I could be dead wrong on this, believe me. I'm 981 00:54:16,520 --> 00:54:18,600 Speaker 4: certainly not Aaron Cromer, nor do I know as much 982 00:54:18,640 --> 00:54:21,280 Speaker 4: about how to design a run game the way he does. 983 00:54:21,640 --> 00:54:24,719 Speaker 4: But you know, I've always felt that Devin Lloyd was 984 00:54:24,719 --> 00:54:28,879 Speaker 4: a very reactive player. I think misdirection elements would get him, 985 00:54:28,960 --> 00:54:31,719 Speaker 4: you know, being a little overreactive. I think he's a 986 00:54:31,760 --> 00:54:34,120 Speaker 4: good player, and he's he's one of those see a 987 00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:34,920 Speaker 4: trigger guys. 988 00:54:35,360 --> 00:54:35,520 Speaker 7: Uh. 989 00:54:35,560 --> 00:54:39,120 Speaker 4: And he's a very athletic guy. But you know, I 990 00:54:39,360 --> 00:54:42,239 Speaker 4: would think that you'd like to get him, uh, you know, 991 00:54:42,320 --> 00:54:45,200 Speaker 4: messing with his eye discipline a little bit. Alulacon is 992 00:54:45,239 --> 00:54:48,240 Speaker 4: just a really good player. He's a solid player all around. 993 00:54:49,600 --> 00:54:53,640 Speaker 4: You know, they're pretty strong. I think they're reasonably strong 994 00:54:53,640 --> 00:54:57,360 Speaker 4: on the edges, but I would look for them to 995 00:54:57,440 --> 00:55:00,040 Speaker 4: try to, you know, play with the with the the 996 00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:03,279 Speaker 4: I discipline at the second level players and see if 997 00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:06,439 Speaker 4: that's functional as opposed to just lining up and saying 998 00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:07,080 Speaker 4: here we come. 999 00:55:07,200 --> 00:55:07,359 Speaker 7: Now. 1000 00:55:07,400 --> 00:55:10,880 Speaker 4: Of course, in a run game, you've run multiple concepts. 1001 00:55:10,920 --> 00:55:14,040 Speaker 4: It's not just one thing. But that's just something that 1002 00:55:14,120 --> 00:55:16,800 Speaker 4: I would think of watching the Jaguars defense. 1003 00:55:18,760 --> 00:55:21,680 Speaker 3: Last year, and I understand last year was last year, 1004 00:55:21,719 --> 00:55:25,920 Speaker 3: but the Bills sliced and diced this Jaguars defense, which 1005 00:55:26,040 --> 00:55:29,719 Speaker 3: was under different leadership at that time, and they were 1006 00:55:29,880 --> 00:55:32,760 Speaker 3: largely a man cover scheme and a lot of blitzing. 1007 00:55:33,440 --> 00:55:37,560 Speaker 3: Now under Campanelli, they're more zone based. But how do 1008 00:55:37,600 --> 00:55:42,080 Speaker 3: you assess the matchups with a different scheme involved, knowing 1009 00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:45,520 Speaker 3: that the personnel on that side of the ball for 1010 00:55:45,640 --> 00:55:49,840 Speaker 3: Jacksonville is largely unchanged, with the exception of maybe Newsome. 1011 00:55:51,440 --> 00:55:53,839 Speaker 4: Well, it's funny you say that because I look back 1012 00:55:54,280 --> 00:55:57,200 Speaker 4: at Jacksonville and there have been games where they've played 1013 00:55:57,360 --> 00:56:00,480 Speaker 4: a higher percentage of man. Now, I would say that overall, 1014 00:56:00,520 --> 00:56:03,120 Speaker 4: you're right, Brownie, that if you had to say what 1015 00:56:03,160 --> 00:56:06,560 Speaker 4: they are foundationally, you'd say they lean towards zone as 1016 00:56:06,560 --> 00:56:09,439 Speaker 4: their foundation. But there have been games this year where 1017 00:56:09,440 --> 00:56:12,759 Speaker 4: they played more man, and that raises the question of 1018 00:56:12,800 --> 00:56:16,560 Speaker 4: whether they might do that against the Bills. Of course, 1019 00:56:16,600 --> 00:56:19,359 Speaker 4: if you're going to play Man in certain critical situations, 1020 00:56:19,560 --> 00:56:21,520 Speaker 4: you have to feel that you can handle Josh Allen. 1021 00:56:21,680 --> 00:56:25,600 Speaker 4: But they do have athleticism at the second level, I 1022 00:56:25,640 --> 00:56:29,680 Speaker 4: think Campanelli. And again, I didn't know Buffalo was going 1023 00:56:29,719 --> 00:56:31,880 Speaker 4: to play Jacksonville. Obviously, none of us knew that until 1024 00:56:31,920 --> 00:56:35,239 Speaker 4: last week. But I think he's done a really good 1025 00:56:35,320 --> 00:56:38,759 Speaker 4: job and I love what he does. I think he's 1026 00:56:38,800 --> 00:56:43,279 Speaker 4: a fascinating mix of almost and I've been trying to 1027 00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:45,319 Speaker 4: think of the best way to describe it. I think 1028 00:56:45,360 --> 00:56:47,719 Speaker 4: he's kind of a fascinating mix of almost like a 1029 00:56:47,800 --> 00:56:51,760 Speaker 4: Vic Fangio scheme, where it's aggressive but in a passive 1030 00:56:51,800 --> 00:56:54,680 Speaker 4: type of way in terms of they don't blitz a ton. 1031 00:56:55,640 --> 00:56:58,520 Speaker 4: But then he also has elements of guys that are 1032 00:56:58,560 --> 00:57:02,040 Speaker 4: pressure guys, and there's a lot of dropping out guys 1033 00:57:02,160 --> 00:57:06,000 Speaker 4: underneath from the first level, and that always not always, 1034 00:57:06,040 --> 00:57:08,839 Speaker 4: but that can post problems. So, you know, I think 1035 00:57:08,880 --> 00:57:11,520 Speaker 4: that he's done a really, really good job. I think 1036 00:57:11,560 --> 00:57:15,279 Speaker 4: it's a tough defense to play against. And your question 1037 00:57:15,400 --> 00:57:18,480 Speaker 4: about man versus own, I'm fascinated to see how he 1038 00:57:18,560 --> 00:57:22,600 Speaker 4: chooses to go about that, because you know, I think 1039 00:57:22,640 --> 00:57:24,560 Speaker 4: that when you look at the Bills, you probably feel 1040 00:57:24,600 --> 00:57:27,000 Speaker 4: like you can match up to their wide receivers. 1041 00:57:28,760 --> 00:57:31,280 Speaker 5: In terms of another weapon that could be targeted on 1042 00:57:31,360 --> 00:57:34,560 Speaker 5: the field. In Buffalo's offense, the stats say that the 1043 00:57:34,640 --> 00:57:38,320 Speaker 5: Jaguars struggle against tight ends, allowing the sixth most tight 1044 00:57:38,400 --> 00:57:39,720 Speaker 5: end yards in the league. 1045 00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:42,680 Speaker 6: When watching the Jags film, does that show up on tape? 1046 00:57:42,720 --> 00:57:45,840 Speaker 6: And if so, where, Yeah? 1047 00:57:45,880 --> 00:57:48,760 Speaker 4: I mean, because they don't necessarily match up, you know, 1048 00:57:48,840 --> 00:57:52,320 Speaker 4: a ton man to man. Although I and what strikes 1049 00:57:52,320 --> 00:57:55,080 Speaker 4: me is interesting about that, Matty, is they actually have 1050 00:57:55,120 --> 00:57:57,640 Speaker 4: a safety in Murray who was a corner in college. 1051 00:57:57,880 --> 00:58:01,720 Speaker 4: But you know so in some ways because when they 1052 00:58:01,720 --> 00:58:04,440 Speaker 4: play man, he is normally the tight end matchup, not 1053 00:58:04,440 --> 00:58:09,360 Speaker 4: one hundred percent, but normally. So my guess is, without 1054 00:58:09,400 --> 00:58:12,480 Speaker 4: knowing numbers, they're probably hurting more in zone versus tight 1055 00:58:12,600 --> 00:58:14,479 Speaker 4: ends than they are with the times they play man. 1056 00:58:15,320 --> 00:58:20,520 Speaker 4: But it'll be interesting to see. Because you know Kinkaid Kinkaid, 1057 00:58:20,920 --> 00:58:23,600 Speaker 4: You could certainly make the argument that Kinkaid is the 1058 00:58:23,680 --> 00:58:27,880 Speaker 4: best best man beater that the that the Bills have. 1059 00:58:29,120 --> 00:58:32,720 Speaker 4: You know, I think Shakir can win versus man as well, 1060 00:58:33,040 --> 00:58:35,760 Speaker 4: but you know, Kinkaid is he might be sort of 1061 00:58:35,760 --> 00:58:39,120 Speaker 4: the wildcard chess piece in this matchup because he can 1062 00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:42,240 Speaker 4: win and you can move him all around the formation. 1063 00:58:42,680 --> 00:58:44,600 Speaker 4: And you know they're gonna have to be able to 1064 00:58:44,640 --> 00:58:46,760 Speaker 4: throw the ball to some degree obviously, no matter how 1065 00:58:46,800 --> 00:58:49,959 Speaker 4: well they run it. So uh, you know, I would 1066 00:58:49,960 --> 00:58:52,680 Speaker 4: I would really look to Kinkaid and they played Knox 1067 00:58:52,720 --> 00:58:55,720 Speaker 4: obviously a lot more all amazingly enough, They're not a 1068 00:58:55,800 --> 00:58:59,720 Speaker 4: high percentage twelve personnel offense, So I don't know, you know, 1069 00:58:59,760 --> 00:59:01,960 Speaker 4: if they are going to do that in this game, 1070 00:59:02,320 --> 00:59:04,800 Speaker 4: but maybe it makes sense in this game, maybe try 1071 00:59:04,840 --> 00:59:06,960 Speaker 4: to keep them in their base defense and use the 1072 00:59:07,160 --> 00:59:08,000 Speaker 4: both tight ends. 1073 00:59:09,600 --> 00:59:14,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, it would seem that in certain games where Jacksonville's 1074 00:59:14,680 --> 00:59:18,160 Speaker 3: defense has given up yards and points, it's been against 1075 00:59:18,200 --> 00:59:22,280 Speaker 3: some of the heavier personnel offenses. Yeah, you know, the 1076 00:59:22,360 --> 00:59:26,640 Speaker 3: Rams come to mind here, among others. I wouldn't be 1077 00:59:26,720 --> 00:59:32,160 Speaker 3: surprised if the Bills lean into twelve and thirteen personnel offensively. 1078 00:59:33,360 --> 00:59:37,680 Speaker 4: You know, it's funny, I'm they there's zones and they 1079 00:59:37,760 --> 00:59:41,880 Speaker 4: predominantly played zone there. Zones really got shredded against the 1080 00:59:42,280 --> 00:59:45,040 Speaker 4: Denver Broncos earlier this season. I don't know if you 1081 00:59:45,280 --> 00:59:48,320 Speaker 4: happen to notice sad Brownie. But they won the game. 1082 00:59:48,600 --> 00:59:50,680 Speaker 4: You know, it was close game until late, but they 1083 00:59:50,720 --> 00:59:53,720 Speaker 4: won the game. But you know, knicks through for a 1084 00:59:53,760 --> 00:59:56,040 Speaker 4: lot of yards. There were a lot of voids in 1085 00:59:56,080 --> 00:59:59,200 Speaker 4: that coverage that day, and I would imagine that the Bills, 1086 00:59:59,280 --> 01:00:02,919 Speaker 4: you know that Joe Brady and staff have probably taken 1087 01:00:02,960 --> 01:00:05,440 Speaker 4: a good look at that game to see the kinds 1088 01:00:05,440 --> 01:00:07,920 Speaker 4: of things that the Broncos did, because when I watched 1089 01:00:07,920 --> 01:00:11,080 Speaker 4: that tape, I just thought that there were major voids 1090 01:00:11,120 --> 01:00:13,440 Speaker 4: that could be exploited, and I think the Bills are 1091 01:00:13,440 --> 01:00:14,520 Speaker 4: going to have to be able to do that. 1092 01:00:16,560 --> 01:00:19,480 Speaker 5: We know Trevor Lawrence has been on a heater as 1093 01:00:19,520 --> 01:00:21,760 Speaker 5: of late with their eight straight wins. The offense is 1094 01:00:21,800 --> 01:00:25,360 Speaker 5: averaging thirty three points per game over those games. But 1095 01:00:25,440 --> 01:00:28,760 Speaker 5: when looking at the Jaguars offense at large, where are 1096 01:00:28,800 --> 01:00:31,120 Speaker 5: some of those weaknesses that Buffalo. 1097 01:00:30,720 --> 01:00:34,760 Speaker 4: Can attack, Well, I think you have to look at 1098 01:00:34,760 --> 01:00:36,760 Speaker 4: their strengths first. One of the things that has really 1099 01:00:36,760 --> 01:00:39,560 Speaker 4: stood out is and this is Liam Cohen because he 1100 01:00:39,640 --> 01:00:42,200 Speaker 4: came from McVeigh and that school of thought. You're seeing 1101 01:00:42,240 --> 01:00:45,880 Speaker 4: a lot of reduced splits. You're seeing Trevor Lawrence working 1102 01:00:45,920 --> 01:00:48,800 Speaker 4: between the numbers, better than he ever has in his career. 1103 01:00:49,680 --> 01:00:52,440 Speaker 4: He's been very decisive because he's seeing it clearly with 1104 01:00:52,480 --> 01:00:56,960 Speaker 4: the route concepts. You know, I think that this, I 1105 01:00:57,000 --> 01:01:01,320 Speaker 4: think that both safety's ployer players going right. He's he practiced, 1106 01:01:01,840 --> 01:01:06,040 Speaker 4: he's supposed to go. Yeah, So Poyer and Bishop, I think, 1107 01:01:06,280 --> 01:01:08,720 Speaker 4: you know, I think they have to really read the 1108 01:01:08,840 --> 01:01:11,640 Speaker 4: routes and understand their route concepts and combinations well in 1109 01:01:11,680 --> 01:01:14,680 Speaker 4: the game because they have working so well between the 1110 01:01:14,760 --> 01:01:17,800 Speaker 4: numbers since they got to Kobe Meyers. He's been really 1111 01:01:17,880 --> 01:01:20,080 Speaker 4: because that's who he is. You know, he's been working 1112 01:01:20,120 --> 01:01:24,919 Speaker 4: really effectively there. They their past game has been very, 1113 01:01:25,040 --> 01:01:28,080 Speaker 4: very good, and Lawrence looks like really a different player 1114 01:01:28,120 --> 01:01:30,280 Speaker 4: than he has for much of his career. He's been 1115 01:01:30,320 --> 01:01:31,320 Speaker 4: really decisive. 1116 01:01:32,400 --> 01:01:32,600 Speaker 3: You know. 1117 01:01:32,640 --> 01:01:35,640 Speaker 4: The question is can they pressure because Lawrence has always 1118 01:01:35,840 --> 01:01:38,320 Speaker 4: had a little bit of a tendency Maddie to just 1119 01:01:38,440 --> 01:01:40,840 Speaker 4: and less so now because he's he's playing with more 1120 01:01:41,000 --> 01:01:44,320 Speaker 4: confidence and comfort, but he does have a tendency at 1121 01:01:44,320 --> 01:01:46,600 Speaker 4: times to speed up when there's pressure. 1122 01:01:47,280 --> 01:01:47,440 Speaker 3: Now. 1123 01:01:47,480 --> 01:01:49,320 Speaker 4: The other factor, too, is and we're looking at him 1124 01:01:49,400 --> 01:01:52,400 Speaker 4: run right now, is his legs are a factor. I mean, 1125 01:01:52,480 --> 01:01:55,360 Speaker 4: he is, you know, he's not quite Josh, but his 1126 01:01:55,480 --> 01:01:58,360 Speaker 4: legs are a are a factor. You cannot discount that. 1127 01:02:01,160 --> 01:02:04,000 Speaker 3: Speaking of you know, Buffalo's defense and what they've done 1128 01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:06,120 Speaker 3: over the last month and a half is they have 1129 01:02:06,200 --> 01:02:10,040 Speaker 3: found really good pass rush productivity out of their three 1130 01:02:10,160 --> 01:02:14,640 Speaker 3: three five nickel package, deploying linebackers as pass rushers. And 1131 01:02:15,400 --> 01:02:18,880 Speaker 3: I don't know that I've seen the same look twice 1132 01:02:19,240 --> 01:02:22,760 Speaker 3: from this defense in like a four game stretch. I 1133 01:02:22,800 --> 01:02:25,720 Speaker 3: mean from the time they had Drake May crossed up 1134 01:02:26,080 --> 01:02:28,200 Speaker 3: and not knowing what he was looking at to Jalen 1135 01:02:28,280 --> 01:02:31,680 Speaker 3: Hurts not knowing what he was looking at. I'm fully 1136 01:02:31,720 --> 01:02:34,520 Speaker 3: expecting that to be deployed in some form or fashion, 1137 01:02:35,080 --> 01:02:40,240 Speaker 3: you know, against Trevor Lawrence in Company two. What why 1138 01:02:40,320 --> 01:02:43,400 Speaker 3: are there? Why are they able to create so much 1139 01:02:43,600 --> 01:02:46,760 Speaker 3: variation out of that personnel. 1140 01:02:46,280 --> 01:02:52,080 Speaker 4: Grouping because the three linebackers, that extra linebackers different than alignment. 1141 01:02:52,160 --> 01:02:55,480 Speaker 4: That linebacker becomes a wildcard player, you don't know. It 1142 01:02:55,520 --> 01:02:58,480 Speaker 4: gives them so many more options, Brownie, with what they 1143 01:02:58,520 --> 01:03:01,360 Speaker 4: can do in terms of number one pressure and number 1144 01:03:01,440 --> 01:03:05,800 Speaker 4: two dropping people out as what I've heard Peyton mannacoll 1145 01:03:05,920 --> 01:03:10,040 Speaker 4: rat defenders, so it just slows down the quarterback. We 1146 01:03:10,080 --> 01:03:13,320 Speaker 4: saw that it was very clear with Drake May. Drake 1147 01:03:13,360 --> 01:03:16,360 Speaker 4: May up until that game, in that second half, I mean, 1148 01:03:16,440 --> 01:03:20,040 Speaker 4: it seems like he hadn't been hesitant at all for 1149 01:03:20,320 --> 01:03:22,720 Speaker 4: you know, months prior to that, and then all of 1150 01:03:22,760 --> 01:03:24,800 Speaker 4: a sudden in the second half, it just seemed like 1151 01:03:25,080 --> 01:03:27,720 Speaker 4: and you know, it just takes a millisecond, and if 1152 01:03:27,720 --> 01:03:30,200 Speaker 4: you're late or you don't see it, it doesn't work. 1153 01:03:30,560 --> 01:03:33,160 Speaker 4: So it's just there's so many more things you can 1154 01:03:33,200 --> 01:03:36,480 Speaker 4: do when you've got the three three five. Now, obviously 1155 01:03:36,560 --> 01:03:39,000 Speaker 4: you don't have the big guy who's maybe a one 1156 01:03:39,040 --> 01:03:41,800 Speaker 4: on one winner as a pass rusher, but it just 1157 01:03:41,880 --> 01:03:45,360 Speaker 4: gives you so much more versatility in what you can 1158 01:03:45,400 --> 01:03:49,160 Speaker 4: do from a pressure and coverage standpoint, particularly with underneath 1159 01:03:49,200 --> 01:03:52,479 Speaker 4: coverage where the quarterback just might not see a guy 1160 01:03:52,760 --> 01:03:56,480 Speaker 4: dropping out, or maybe he sees him late. So it's 1161 01:03:56,480 --> 01:03:59,720 Speaker 4: been really effective and one of the things I think 1162 01:03:59,760 --> 01:04:02,760 Speaker 4: Sean has done really really well over the last month. 1163 01:04:02,840 --> 01:04:04,480 Speaker 4: And a couple of points about their defense, this one 1164 01:04:04,480 --> 01:04:07,440 Speaker 4: I'll make first. You know, I think that they've really 1165 01:04:08,120 --> 01:04:12,919 Speaker 4: made nice adjustments in the second half. Now, whether those 1166 01:04:12,960 --> 01:04:15,520 Speaker 4: adjustments came in half or that they were built to 1167 01:04:15,560 --> 01:04:17,640 Speaker 4: a game plan right from the start, none of us 1168 01:04:17,720 --> 01:04:19,480 Speaker 4: know the answer to that, but I think they've done 1169 01:04:19,520 --> 01:04:22,120 Speaker 4: some really good things in the second half. And the 1170 01:04:22,200 --> 01:04:25,480 Speaker 4: other thing I think, well, their run defense has at 1171 01:04:25,480 --> 01:04:28,600 Speaker 4: times been uneven. I think it's been much better when 1172 01:04:28,640 --> 01:04:32,440 Speaker 4: Shaq Thompson plays. And I think Shaq Thompson has really 1173 01:04:32,480 --> 01:04:35,920 Speaker 4: solidified on defense, and you know, assuming he's good to 1174 01:04:35,960 --> 01:04:39,000 Speaker 4: go and could play meaningful snaps. Because the one thing 1175 01:04:39,040 --> 01:04:42,240 Speaker 4: about the Jaguars is I wouldn't say they were a 1176 01:04:42,280 --> 01:04:45,720 Speaker 4: great running team, but they can be an explosive running team. 1177 01:04:46,160 --> 01:04:50,040 Speaker 4: And the last thing you want, you know, you know, 1178 01:04:50,320 --> 01:04:52,080 Speaker 4: is for them to be in the Bills, to be 1179 01:04:52,080 --> 01:04:55,160 Speaker 4: in a situation where you know, atn breaks off a 1180 01:04:55,160 --> 01:04:58,560 Speaker 4: fifty yard touchdown because he's capable of that. So and 1181 01:04:58,840 --> 01:05:00,920 Speaker 4: Tooton can run. I mean, they've got guys who can 1182 01:05:00,920 --> 01:05:04,200 Speaker 4: break him off. So but to me, what Thompson's been 1183 01:05:04,200 --> 01:05:06,080 Speaker 4: in there, they've been a much better run defense. 1184 01:05:07,680 --> 01:05:07,880 Speaker 7: Yeah. 1185 01:05:07,880 --> 01:05:11,080 Speaker 5: Shaq Thompson was limited this week in practices with a 1186 01:05:11,240 --> 01:05:14,400 Speaker 5: neck injury, but Sean McDermott said he should be good 1187 01:05:14,440 --> 01:05:16,520 Speaker 5: to go for this game. We know that linebacker Trel 1188 01:05:16,560 --> 01:05:19,600 Speaker 5: Bernard will not play in this game. Has been ruled 1189 01:05:19,640 --> 01:05:20,680 Speaker 5: out by McDermott. 1190 01:05:21,320 --> 01:05:23,600 Speaker 6: So good to know that Shaq Thompson. 1191 01:05:23,280 --> 01:05:25,840 Speaker 5: Should be a part of the mix because he's been 1192 01:05:25,920 --> 01:05:28,640 Speaker 5: so good when on the field. We've talked about a 1193 01:05:28,640 --> 01:05:31,240 Speaker 5: lot of different facets of this game, but what is 1194 01:05:31,320 --> 01:05:34,480 Speaker 5: an area that you think is not being talked about 1195 01:05:34,560 --> 01:05:37,320 Speaker 5: a lot or we haven't touched yet that could play 1196 01:05:37,320 --> 01:05:40,120 Speaker 5: a big factor in how this one plays out. 1197 01:05:41,720 --> 01:05:43,440 Speaker 4: Well, it might be crazy to say, Maddy, but we 1198 01:05:43,480 --> 01:05:46,440 Speaker 4: really haven't talked about the Bills passing game. And you know, 1199 01:05:46,480 --> 01:05:47,720 Speaker 4: I think that that's going to have to be a 1200 01:05:47,760 --> 01:05:49,720 Speaker 4: factor in the game. And I don't mean it's just 1201 01:05:49,760 --> 01:05:52,120 Speaker 4: a compliment. And I'm not suggesting that Josh needs to 1202 01:05:52,200 --> 01:05:54,840 Speaker 4: drop back forty five times, that's not my point. But 1203 01:05:56,040 --> 01:05:57,680 Speaker 4: you know, they've had a lot of games this year 1204 01:05:57,680 --> 01:06:00,520 Speaker 4: where they've run the ball exceptionally well, you guys know, 1205 01:06:00,600 --> 01:06:02,440 Speaker 4: and Josh has not had to throw a lot and 1206 01:06:02,480 --> 01:06:06,120 Speaker 4: you win, and that's you know, that's great. And obviously 1207 01:06:06,240 --> 01:06:09,600 Speaker 4: we don't know what what the Jaguars offense will do. 1208 01:06:09,880 --> 01:06:13,320 Speaker 4: But my sense is, and I'm Brownie, you I assume 1209 01:06:13,360 --> 01:06:14,800 Speaker 4: you would agree. I don't think we're gonna be looking 1210 01:06:14,840 --> 01:06:17,640 Speaker 4: at a thirteen to ten game here, But the point 1211 01:06:17,760 --> 01:06:19,720 Speaker 4: is is I think the Past game is gonna have 1212 01:06:19,760 --> 01:06:22,800 Speaker 4: to be a factor and whatever that means. In other words, 1213 01:06:22,840 --> 01:06:24,760 Speaker 4: I guess my point is I don't think they can 1214 01:06:24,800 --> 01:06:27,280 Speaker 4: win this game, you know, with Josh Allen going you know, 1215 01:06:27,360 --> 01:06:29,720 Speaker 4: twelve for nineteen fo one hundred and twenty five yards. 1216 01:06:29,960 --> 01:06:32,840 Speaker 4: That would be my sense. Could I be dead wrong? 1217 01:06:32,880 --> 01:06:35,120 Speaker 4: Of course, you never know. But I think that the 1218 01:06:35,160 --> 01:06:38,280 Speaker 4: Past game is gonna have to be a little more aggressive, 1219 01:06:38,320 --> 01:06:40,720 Speaker 4: a little more assertive, and they're gonna have to find 1220 01:06:40,760 --> 01:06:44,040 Speaker 4: ways to get to those voids in the zone coverage 1221 01:06:44,120 --> 01:06:46,840 Speaker 4: and and and be able to have some intermediate throws 1222 01:06:46,880 --> 01:06:50,280 Speaker 4: and you know, and and have it be a factor. 1223 01:06:50,600 --> 01:06:53,960 Speaker 4: You know, So you know, that would be my sense. 1224 01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:55,920 Speaker 4: I mean, we always look, Josh Allen is such a 1225 01:06:55,960 --> 01:06:57,960 Speaker 4: great player, you know, and you know the way this 1226 01:06:58,040 --> 01:07:00,000 Speaker 4: game has talked about, you know, oh Josh Allen just 1227 01:07:00,080 --> 01:07:02,840 Speaker 4: going to make Josh Allen plays, and he's capable of 1228 01:07:02,880 --> 01:07:05,840 Speaker 4: that at any given time obviously, But in terms of 1229 01:07:05,840 --> 01:07:09,120 Speaker 4: I'm talking about schematics, I think schematically the Past game 1230 01:07:09,320 --> 01:07:11,000 Speaker 4: is going to have to be able to find those 1231 01:07:11,080 --> 01:07:13,480 Speaker 4: voids and have a sustaining feel to it. 1232 01:07:15,840 --> 01:07:18,200 Speaker 3: Greg, thanks as always for the time we appreciate it. 1233 01:07:18,240 --> 01:07:21,760 Speaker 3: Hopefully we're talking about a divisional playoff matchup next week 1234 01:07:21,800 --> 01:07:23,000 Speaker 3: for the Bills. Thanks for the time. 1235 01:07:23,600 --> 01:07:25,560 Speaker 4: It would be great. It would be great. Guys, Hope 1236 01:07:25,600 --> 01:07:27,040 Speaker 4: I'm with you next week. Thanks so much. 1237 01:07:28,200 --> 01:07:31,440 Speaker 3: All right, take care. That's great Cosel joining us as 1238 01:07:31,480 --> 01:07:34,960 Speaker 3: he does every week. Bill's Mafia. It's tailgating season and 1239 01:07:35,000 --> 01:07:38,320 Speaker 3: there's nothing better than Pepsi zero sugar to pair with 1240 01:07:38,360 --> 01:07:42,680 Speaker 3: your favorite tailgating food rituals before the game. As the 1241 01:07:42,800 --> 01:07:46,840 Speaker 3: Great Josh Allen once said, Bills fans deserve Pepsi. Make 1242 01:07:46,880 --> 01:07:50,280 Speaker 3: sure that you stock up for game day. Go Bills. 1243 01:07:50,520 --> 01:07:52,120 Speaker 3: We do want to get back to the phones here 1244 01:07:52,160 --> 01:07:54,640 Speaker 3: real quick. On the OBL Friday fan mail bag and 1245 01:07:55,000 --> 01:07:58,160 Speaker 3: waiting patiently, there is Judy in Buffalo. What do you 1246 01:07:58,160 --> 01:07:59,640 Speaker 3: got for us? Judy? 1247 01:08:00,120 --> 01:08:02,480 Speaker 11: Well, you know, I think the Bills have two hidden 1248 01:08:02,560 --> 01:08:07,200 Speaker 11: assets and both of them are named Davis. I think 1249 01:08:07,320 --> 01:08:09,560 Speaker 11: Ray Davis can be a real threat in this game, 1250 01:08:10,400 --> 01:08:13,880 Speaker 11: in the return game, in the run game, and actually 1251 01:08:13,920 --> 01:08:17,880 Speaker 11: he is an underappreciated receiver. He has made some very 1252 01:08:17,960 --> 01:08:20,680 Speaker 11: nice catches and I can see him coming out of 1253 01:08:20,720 --> 01:08:24,880 Speaker 11: the backfield and making a difference. And other callers have 1254 01:08:25,479 --> 01:08:30,519 Speaker 11: mentioned Gabe Davis, and I think that this could be 1255 01:08:31,080 --> 01:08:34,479 Speaker 11: a stellar game for him, and I want to They've 1256 01:08:34,520 --> 01:08:37,519 Speaker 11: mentioned other times when he has come through, but I 1257 01:08:37,560 --> 01:08:42,640 Speaker 11: will never forget the thirteen second game avtomy where he 1258 01:08:42,760 --> 01:08:49,280 Speaker 11: had two hundred yards in reception. Wouldn't that be nice? 1259 01:08:50,400 --> 01:08:52,840 Speaker 3: It would be hard to argue with that. Judy, thanks 1260 01:08:52,840 --> 01:08:56,360 Speaker 3: for the call. And Ray had an inspiring performance last 1261 01:08:56,360 --> 01:08:59,000 Speaker 3: week as he got a front line roll over one 1262 01:08:59,040 --> 01:09:02,599 Speaker 3: hundred and fifty yards on them. And if Ty Johnson 1263 01:09:02,840 --> 01:09:07,120 Speaker 3: is a little gimpy and can assume his normal workload, 1264 01:09:07,560 --> 01:09:10,759 Speaker 3: a lot of that will fall to Ray. Ty Johnson 1265 01:09:10,800 --> 01:09:13,479 Speaker 3: may be up, but they may decide, Look, let's not 1266 01:09:13,520 --> 01:09:16,000 Speaker 3: give him his full compliment of playing time here because 1267 01:09:16,000 --> 01:09:19,240 Speaker 3: he's a little gimpy. Let's supplement Ray in there a 1268 01:09:19,240 --> 01:09:21,760 Speaker 3: little bit more, you know. And based on the way 1269 01:09:21,760 --> 01:09:24,080 Speaker 3: he played last week, I don't see any reason why not. 1270 01:09:24,360 --> 01:09:27,240 Speaker 5: I love that that's how Ray Davis finished out the season, 1271 01:09:27,520 --> 01:09:30,920 Speaker 5: being primarily a returner this year for Buffalo and finding 1272 01:09:31,000 --> 01:09:33,680 Speaker 5: a nice new home for himself. I love that the 1273 01:09:33,720 --> 01:09:38,519 Speaker 5: Bills allowed him to turn on that running back muscle 1274 01:09:38,800 --> 01:09:41,200 Speaker 5: again an average seven point two yards per carry against 1275 01:09:41,240 --> 01:09:44,000 Speaker 5: the Jets, he was Trey White's Dog of the Week 1276 01:09:44,120 --> 01:09:48,040 Speaker 5: for his performance against the Jets and finishes as. 1277 01:09:47,840 --> 01:09:50,599 Speaker 6: The leader in kick return yards average. 1278 01:09:50,600 --> 01:09:53,599 Speaker 5: And speaking with Ray this week, Ray said, Hey, I 1279 01:09:53,760 --> 01:09:56,200 Speaker 5: like our plan on special teams against this team. 1280 01:09:56,479 --> 01:09:59,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, and it is going to be a special team's battle. 1281 01:09:59,080 --> 01:10:01,880 Speaker 3: As we know, the Jags have a giant leg kicker 1282 01:10:02,240 --> 01:10:04,639 Speaker 3: who's got the two longest field goals in NFL history. 1283 01:10:04,680 --> 01:10:08,080 Speaker 3: He kicked a sixty eight yarder in Las Vegas inside 1284 01:10:08,360 --> 01:10:11,200 Speaker 3: and then kicked a sixty seven yarder last week. Those 1285 01:10:11,200 --> 01:10:14,320 Speaker 3: are the two longest field goals ever in NFL history, 1286 01:10:15,200 --> 01:10:18,400 Speaker 3: and he's got both of them. And then you've got 1287 01:10:18,400 --> 01:10:21,880 Speaker 3: a return man in Parker Washington who has two punt 1288 01:10:21,920 --> 01:10:25,760 Speaker 3: returns for touchdowns this season for Jacksonville. Obviously, we know 1289 01:10:25,880 --> 01:10:28,200 Speaker 3: Ray's got the one kick return against Houston for ninety 1290 01:10:28,240 --> 01:10:31,760 Speaker 3: seven that went for a touchdown. So they're going to 1291 01:10:31,800 --> 01:10:34,640 Speaker 3: be matching wits here in the special teams game, and 1292 01:10:34,960 --> 01:10:36,960 Speaker 3: it's going to be important for the Bills to find 1293 01:10:36,960 --> 01:10:39,760 Speaker 3: that hidden yardage in the special teams phase of the 1294 01:10:39,800 --> 01:10:42,799 Speaker 3: game to make life a little bit easier for their offense. 1295 01:10:42,840 --> 01:10:46,960 Speaker 3: The crazy thing is, you think about Jacksonville all the time, 1296 01:10:47,920 --> 01:10:50,880 Speaker 3: and we think about the coin toss. If Jacksonville wins 1297 01:10:50,920 --> 01:10:53,519 Speaker 3: the coin toss into furs and they have the ball 1298 01:10:53,560 --> 01:10:56,320 Speaker 3: at the end of the half and their drive is 1299 01:10:56,360 --> 01:10:59,599 Speaker 3: stopped at the fifty yard line and there's three seconds 1300 01:10:59,680 --> 01:11:02,400 Speaker 3: left bringing their kicker out because he can kick it 1301 01:11:02,439 --> 01:11:03,839 Speaker 3: from that for which is crazy. 1302 01:11:03,960 --> 01:11:06,320 Speaker 5: That is a very good point. Field position is going 1303 01:11:06,400 --> 01:11:09,920 Speaker 5: to be of the utmost importance in this game. It'll 1304 01:11:09,920 --> 01:11:12,719 Speaker 5: be fun to see who has the advantage in terms 1305 01:11:12,760 --> 01:11:13,759 Speaker 5: of return yardage. 1306 01:11:13,920 --> 01:11:16,760 Speaker 3: Gotta take a break here.

Jack says, heading to my cousin's house 1340 01:13:17,840 --> 01:13:21,800 Speaker 3: for the game, whipping up a hot banana pepper dip 1341 01:13:21,960 --> 01:13:26,680 Speaker 3: with spicy sausage and cheese, served with tortillas and baguettes 1342 01:13:26,720 --> 01:13:30,040 Speaker 3: for dippers. I tell you, guys, I think the tight 1343 01:13:30,160 --> 01:13:33,000 Speaker 3: Ends will have a day. McDermott will have a plan 1344 01:13:33,080 --> 01:13:36,639 Speaker 3: on d and the Bills get it done, win by 1345 01:13:36,840 --> 01:13:40,439 Speaker 3: ten Go Bills, Oh Jacks signing up? 1346 01:13:41,040 --> 01:13:41,919 Speaker 6: That would be amazing. 1347 01:13:42,000 --> 01:13:43,040 Speaker 3: I'll buy that for a dollar. 1348 01:13:43,200 --> 01:13:46,080 Speaker 5: The tight Ends are gonna be the hot banana pepper dip. 1349 01:13:45,880 --> 01:13:46,439 Speaker 6: Of this game. 1350 01:13:46,520 --> 01:13:52,320 Speaker 3: Wow, look at that? Look at what yeah. Andrew says, 1351 01:13:52,439 --> 01:13:53,720 Speaker 3: as much as I would love to go down to 1352 01:13:53,840 --> 01:13:56,519 Speaker 3: Jacksonville for the game, just not gonna happen. So I'm 1353 01:13:56,560 --> 01:13:59,720 Speaker 3: gonna try my best to recreate one of their signatures 1354 01:13:59,720 --> 01:14:03,519 Speaker 3: sam which is down there called a camel Rider sandwich. 1355 01:14:03,680 --> 01:14:06,160 Speaker 3: Never tried it before, but willing to give it a 1356 01:14:06,200 --> 01:14:09,759 Speaker 3: shot in case you're wondering what it is, I am. 1357 01:14:09,880 --> 01:14:15,240 Speaker 3: It's a popular peda pocket sandwich, say that, typically stuffed 1358 01:14:15,280 --> 01:14:20,520 Speaker 3: with Deli meats, ham, salami, baloney, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, mayonnaise, 1359 01:14:20,520 --> 01:14:27,719 Speaker 3: and a generous drizzle of creamy Italian dressing. That's a lot. 1360 01:14:28,720 --> 01:14:33,240 Speaker 3: That's a lot to get into pita like sounds more 1361 01:14:33,280 --> 01:14:35,600 Speaker 3: like a muffletta sandwich than it does a pita. Like, 1362 01:14:35,600 --> 01:14:39,080 Speaker 3: How are you getting all that in a pita? That's aggressive? 1363 01:14:39,760 --> 01:14:42,880 Speaker 3: Like you need like a like a battering ram to 1364 01:14:42,920 --> 01:14:45,760 Speaker 3: get it all in there. Best of luck to you 1365 01:14:45,840 --> 01:14:51,080 Speaker 3: in recreating the camel Rider whatever it would. 1366 01:14:50,840 --> 01:14:52,400 Speaker 6: Be all over the place if I ate that thing. 1367 01:14:52,520 --> 01:14:55,080 Speaker 3: Best of luck to you Andrew in your efforts in 1368 01:14:55,160 --> 01:14:58,240 Speaker 3: recreating that. I might just pack it in and just 1369 01:14:58,360 --> 01:15:00,759 Speaker 3: grill a couple of pieces of bread and just smack 1370 01:15:00,800 --> 01:15:03,160 Speaker 3: it all together. That way be a lot easier than 1371 01:15:03,200 --> 01:15:04,519 Speaker 3: trying to stuff it in a pede. But what do 1372 01:15:04,560 --> 01:15:08,639 Speaker 3: I know? We want to pivot from the Tailgate tag 1373 01:15:08,680 --> 01:15:12,080 Speaker 3: along tweet sheet to the Friday fan mail Bag tweets 1374 01:15:12,080 --> 01:15:15,040 Speaker 3: sheet to check out some of your questions there and 1375 01:15:15,200 --> 01:15:17,840 Speaker 3: bar basks totally unrelated to the game. But if you 1376 01:15:17,880 --> 01:15:20,680 Speaker 3: have time, can you address what will happen to the 1377 01:15:20,680 --> 01:15:24,439 Speaker 3: Bills field house going forward? Will that still be used 1378 01:15:24,439 --> 01:15:26,960 Speaker 3: for practice in training or is everything going over to 1379 01:15:27,000 --> 01:15:30,439 Speaker 3: the new stadium. Yes, the field house is staying put. 1380 01:15:30,479 --> 01:15:34,960 Speaker 3: The administration building is staying put. The training center is 1381 01:15:35,040 --> 01:15:39,160 Speaker 3: remaining intact. I mean, the pagoul has just spent eighteen 1382 01:15:39,200 --> 01:15:43,519 Speaker 3: million dollars on that training facility just seven years ago. 1383 01:15:44,280 --> 01:15:46,479 Speaker 3: They're not tearing that down. They're going to make full 1384 01:15:46,560 --> 01:15:48,920 Speaker 3: use of that now. I think there will be times 1385 01:15:49,520 --> 01:15:52,600 Speaker 3: where coach will want the team to practice in the 1386 01:15:52,640 --> 01:15:55,000 Speaker 3: stadium on say a Friday, as they're wont to do 1387 01:15:55,920 --> 01:15:58,599 Speaker 3: from time to time, but the vast majority of their 1388 01:15:58,600 --> 01:16:02,559 Speaker 3: practice preparations during the week will still be in its 1389 01:16:02,600 --> 01:16:05,839 Speaker 3: current spot, with the two and a half grass fields 1390 01:16:05,840 --> 01:16:09,320 Speaker 3: that they have and the indoor turf field at their disposal. Yeah, 1391 01:16:09,479 --> 01:16:11,080 Speaker 3: those are not going anywhere on campus. 1392 01:16:11,160 --> 01:16:11,400 Speaker 6: Yeah. 1393 01:16:11,400 --> 01:16:13,720 Speaker 5: That's where all the meeting rooms are as well too, 1394 01:16:13,760 --> 01:16:17,080 Speaker 5: so a lot happens in that training facility building. They 1395 01:16:17,080 --> 01:16:19,559 Speaker 5: also have their locker room in there, and that's where 1396 01:16:19,640 --> 01:16:20,519 Speaker 5: the players call home. 1397 01:16:20,760 --> 01:16:23,839 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's kind of the nerve center of their weekly operation. 1398 01:16:24,560 --> 01:16:29,200 Speaker 3: Greg asks with Kincaid healthy, should we expect the Bills 1399 01:16:29,240 --> 01:16:32,439 Speaker 3: to use three tight end formations more frequently? I think 1400 01:16:32,479 --> 01:16:35,160 Speaker 3: it's a possibility. I think it's a possibility. Maddy and 1401 01:16:35,200 --> 01:16:39,439 Speaker 3: I have talked today about how Jacksonville's Jacksonville's defense has 1402 01:16:39,479 --> 01:16:45,519 Speaker 3: had more difficulty with the heavy personnel offenses than the lighter, 1403 01:16:45,600 --> 01:16:48,639 Speaker 3: speedier ones. So the Rams, which have used a lot 1404 01:16:48,640 --> 01:16:52,040 Speaker 3: of twelve and thirteen personnel, gave them problems. San Francisco 1405 01:16:52,280 --> 01:16:54,240 Speaker 3: was a little bit troublesome in that area. They don't 1406 01:16:54,240 --> 01:16:56,840 Speaker 3: play quite as much twelve and thirteen, but they do 1407 01:16:56,960 --> 01:16:58,439 Speaker 3: use a tight end in a full back a lot, 1408 01:16:58,479 --> 01:17:02,200 Speaker 3: so a lot of twenty one personnel, and so they 1409 01:17:02,240 --> 01:17:05,439 Speaker 3: caused problems for the Jacksonville defense as well. So I 1410 01:17:05,479 --> 01:17:07,400 Speaker 3: would expect the Bills to lean into that. 1411 01:17:07,720 --> 01:17:10,400 Speaker 5: You could see a healthy dose of Reigie gilliam on 1412 01:17:10,439 --> 01:17:12,519 Speaker 5: the field as well. He's been a big part of 1413 01:17:12,560 --> 01:17:15,200 Speaker 5: Buffalo's offense in terms of doing the dirty work. 1414 01:17:15,240 --> 01:17:17,360 Speaker 6: I would assume he does so again on Sunday. 1415 01:17:18,000 --> 01:17:22,280 Speaker 3: Jacob asks. In the days of Brad Deluiso, the Bills 1416 01:17:22,360 --> 01:17:24,800 Speaker 3: had two kickers active on game day, Yes they did. 1417 01:17:25,160 --> 01:17:28,360 Speaker 3: Should the Bills consider having the new kicker right do 1418 01:17:28,560 --> 01:17:32,880 Speaker 3: kickoffs and Prater just field goals? Seems worth the roster 1419 01:17:32,960 --> 01:17:36,080 Speaker 3: spot this week. The other options are too much of 1420 01:17:36,120 --> 01:17:41,160 Speaker 3: a gamble going in with either kicker. I think they'll 1421 01:17:41,160 --> 01:17:45,320 Speaker 3: give it consideration. I think it's gonna hinge on how 1422 01:17:45,400 --> 01:17:48,519 Speaker 3: healthy the rest of the roster is if they think 1423 01:17:48,560 --> 01:17:53,120 Speaker 3: they might need an extra player at say linebacker, because 1424 01:17:53,120 --> 01:17:56,479 Speaker 3: they already know Bernard's not playing and Thompson's coming back 1425 01:17:56,520 --> 01:18:00,360 Speaker 3: from a neck injury, they may need that extra roster 1426 01:18:00,439 --> 01:18:03,479 Speaker 3: spot for a linebacker position on a practice squad elevation 1427 01:18:03,600 --> 01:18:07,840 Speaker 3: or what have you, or maybe some other position where 1428 01:18:07,840 --> 01:18:10,960 Speaker 3: they're a little shorthanded, maybe running back. If Ty Johnson 1429 01:18:11,040 --> 01:18:13,559 Speaker 3: is able to play but not one hundred percent, do 1430 01:18:13,640 --> 01:18:16,080 Speaker 3: they want an extra running back available? Is Frank Gore 1431 01:18:16,120 --> 01:18:19,559 Speaker 3: a practice squad elevation, for example, So I think they 1432 01:18:19,600 --> 01:18:23,439 Speaker 3: have to juggle that before they determine whether or not 1433 01:18:23,479 --> 01:18:27,519 Speaker 3: they can dress two kickers, because dressing two kickers is 1434 01:18:27,600 --> 01:18:31,360 Speaker 3: more of a luxury than a necessity. And I think 1435 01:18:31,360 --> 01:18:33,519 Speaker 3: if push comes to shove and they don't feel they 1436 01:18:33,520 --> 01:18:36,120 Speaker 3: have the room on the roster to dress to they're 1437 01:18:36,160 --> 01:18:38,679 Speaker 3: probably just going to put right up there, knowing, let's 1438 01:18:38,760 --> 01:18:41,519 Speaker 3: just go with the healthy kicker so we don't run 1439 01:18:41,560 --> 01:18:43,320 Speaker 3: into a problem where we don't have a kicker at all, 1440 01:18:43,560 --> 01:18:44,960 Speaker 3: which is what happened last week. 1441 01:18:45,200 --> 01:18:47,360 Speaker 5: At this point, with what we know about who's out, 1442 01:18:47,400 --> 01:18:50,759 Speaker 5: who's questionable, is there a position group on the roster 1443 01:18:50,800 --> 01:18:53,559 Speaker 5: where you feel like they're healthy enough to carry one 1444 01:18:53,680 --> 01:18:55,839 Speaker 5: less if they were to go with two kickers. 1445 01:18:57,000 --> 01:18:59,880 Speaker 3: Maybe it's defensive end. You know, maybe you know you 1446 01:19:00,800 --> 01:19:04,719 Speaker 3: but like even Javon Solomon, he's important on special teams. 1447 01:19:04,880 --> 01:19:08,760 Speaker 3: So that's why people think it's an easy decision, and 1448 01:19:08,800 --> 01:19:12,040 Speaker 3: it's not because there's so much roster juggling and it's 1449 01:19:12,080 --> 01:19:15,280 Speaker 3: not just about offense and defense. It's about your special teams, 1450 01:19:15,280 --> 01:19:19,719 Speaker 3: coverage units, and you know, kickoff and punt units as well. 1451 01:19:19,800 --> 01:19:23,880 Speaker 3: So there's a lot to sift through before you can 1452 01:19:23,920 --> 01:19:26,680 Speaker 3: even get to that and say do we have the 1453 01:19:26,800 --> 01:19:31,679 Speaker 3: roster game day flexibility to have to up and active. 1454 01:19:32,040 --> 01:19:35,000 Speaker 3: So it's going to be a very interesting decision because 1455 01:19:35,200 --> 01:19:38,439 Speaker 3: just listening to coach McDermott today, it's very clear that 1456 01:19:38,479 --> 01:19:40,680 Speaker 3: there are a lot of moving parts that are going 1457 01:19:40,720 --> 01:19:43,240 Speaker 3: to have to be sorted out and sifted through before 1458 01:19:43,280 --> 01:19:44,800 Speaker 3: they decide all right, these are going to be our 1459 01:19:44,840 --> 01:19:50,080 Speaker 3: people who are up on game day. Connor asks who 1460 01:19:50,479 --> 01:19:54,240 Speaker 3: on defense do you think needs to have the biggest 1461 01:19:54,320 --> 01:19:57,160 Speaker 3: impact for the Bills to come away with a victory. 1462 01:19:57,200 --> 01:20:02,519 Speaker 3: My two are Bosa and Benford. Pressure on Lawrence is critical. Benford, 1463 01:20:02,520 --> 01:20:05,320 Speaker 3: I would imagine will be lined up against Myers, who 1464 01:20:05,400 --> 01:20:09,000 Speaker 3: has been a difference maker for them. Yeah, I'm curious 1465 01:20:09,000 --> 01:20:12,559 Speaker 3: to see because while Myers has been a difference maker 1466 01:20:13,800 --> 01:20:17,559 Speaker 3: for their passing game, I don't know if he falls 1467 01:20:17,560 --> 01:20:21,679 Speaker 3: into the category of you know, alpha male number one 1468 01:20:22,240 --> 01:20:25,000 Speaker 3: wide receiver. You know, he's he's an inside receiver, but 1469 01:20:25,040 --> 01:20:29,360 Speaker 3: he's not like Amen Ross Saint Brown for example. He's 1470 01:20:29,360 --> 01:20:32,760 Speaker 3: been great for them, don't get me wrong, but I 1471 01:20:32,800 --> 01:20:36,880 Speaker 3: don't know if he's so dynamic that the Bills don't 1472 01:20:36,920 --> 01:20:40,080 Speaker 3: feel you know, a Tarren Johnson could handle him, or 1473 01:20:40,080 --> 01:20:43,040 Speaker 3: a Tradevius White can handle him. So I don't know 1474 01:20:43,080 --> 01:20:47,639 Speaker 3: if he's the guy they have Benford keon and follow 1475 01:20:47,720 --> 01:20:49,280 Speaker 3: around the whole game, per se. 1476 01:20:49,400 --> 01:20:54,720 Speaker 5: I could be wrong, Yeah, I mean looking at the 1477 01:20:55,200 --> 01:20:58,640 Speaker 5: Jack's numbers with wide receivers, Jacobe Myers has led the 1478 01:20:58,640 --> 01:21:01,880 Speaker 5: team in reception since he came to the Jaguars at 1479 01:21:01,880 --> 01:21:04,519 Speaker 5: the trade deadline, but Parker Washington is the one who's 1480 01:21:04,560 --> 01:21:08,040 Speaker 5: put up bigger numbers in terms of receiving yards over 1481 01:21:08,160 --> 01:21:10,600 Speaker 5: that stretch of time. So they have these two receivers 1482 01:21:10,640 --> 01:21:14,559 Speaker 5: who have been important to their win streak, and yeah, 1483 01:21:14,640 --> 01:21:17,360 Speaker 5: it'll be interesting to see how they kind of look 1484 01:21:17,360 --> 01:21:20,000 Speaker 5: at those two wide receivers and who they deploy to 1485 01:21:20,920 --> 01:21:21,960 Speaker 5: guard each one of them. 1486 01:21:22,040 --> 01:21:26,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, because in many ways, the Jaguars receiving corps is 1487 01:21:26,800 --> 01:21:28,880 Speaker 3: not all that different from that of the Bills. There 1488 01:21:28,880 --> 01:21:33,080 Speaker 3: really isn't a true like standout that's their number one guy, like, 1489 01:21:33,160 --> 01:21:35,800 Speaker 3: no doubt about it. This guy is the alpha male 1490 01:21:35,920 --> 01:21:40,280 Speaker 3: and everything flows behind him. You could say the same 1491 01:21:40,280 --> 01:21:43,200 Speaker 3: thing about the Bills. There really isn't a true number 1492 01:21:43,200 --> 01:21:47,800 Speaker 3: one alpha per se. It's largely Shakir, who plays a 1493 01:21:47,840 --> 01:21:51,200 Speaker 3: similar role in the Bills passing game to that of 1494 01:21:51,320 --> 01:21:56,519 Speaker 3: Myers for Jacksonville. So their receiving corps are strikingly similar 1495 01:21:56,640 --> 01:22:00,639 Speaker 3: in a lot of ways, including how they're pecking order works. 1496 01:22:01,439 --> 01:22:04,640 Speaker 3: Steven asks, I'm nervous for this game. I'm tired of 1497 01:22:04,680 --> 01:22:07,839 Speaker 3: hearing how good the Jags are. Give me three reasons 1498 01:22:07,880 --> 01:22:11,360 Speaker 3: why the Bills can win without Josh Allen and James 1499 01:22:11,360 --> 01:22:13,760 Speaker 3: Cook as your answers, So I'm not supposed to use 1500 01:22:13,800 --> 01:22:16,560 Speaker 3: two with the strength of the football. 1501 01:22:16,240 --> 01:22:18,559 Speaker 6: Tie your hands behind your back and tell us why the. 1502 01:22:18,520 --> 01:22:19,160 Speaker 9: Bills will win. 1503 01:22:19,280 --> 01:22:22,240 Speaker 3: I would say the way the Bills have improved on 1504 01:22:22,360 --> 01:22:25,960 Speaker 3: defense over the last month and a half makes them 1505 01:22:25,960 --> 01:22:28,559 Speaker 3: a better side than I think they're getting credit for, 1506 01:22:29,520 --> 01:22:32,360 Speaker 3: knowing Shaq Thompson is in the middle of that defense 1507 01:22:32,720 --> 01:22:35,720 Speaker 3: or is expected to be anyway on Sunday. I think 1508 01:22:35,720 --> 01:22:39,759 Speaker 3: their run defense will do a good job of keeping 1509 01:22:39,960 --> 01:22:46,320 Speaker 3: explosive runs to a minimum. And then I'll say their 1510 01:22:47,320 --> 01:22:50,920 Speaker 3: nickel package I think will have Trevor Lawrence crossed up 1511 01:22:50,920 --> 01:22:55,800 Speaker 3: at times. So those things encourage me, and then I 1512 01:22:55,840 --> 01:23:00,879 Speaker 3: gotta think of something else. I'll just say they're offensive line. 1513 01:23:01,080 --> 01:23:03,439 Speaker 3: I think the Bills have a top three offensive line 1514 01:23:03,920 --> 01:23:08,040 Speaker 3: in football, and I still don't think that group's getting 1515 01:23:08,120 --> 01:23:13,479 Speaker 3: enough credit. I think they've largely gone unrecognized the entire season, 1516 01:23:13,960 --> 01:23:18,960 Speaker 3: even with the number one rushing offense in football. And 1517 01:23:19,000 --> 01:23:20,960 Speaker 3: I hope they're angry about it. I hope they go 1518 01:23:21,000 --> 01:23:23,080 Speaker 3: into this game angry about it. So that's what I 1519 01:23:23,120 --> 01:23:25,320 Speaker 3: would give you anything else that I'm missing here. 1520 01:23:25,320 --> 01:23:28,080 Speaker 5: I know we've spoken about the Jaguars special teams unit, 1521 01:23:28,200 --> 01:23:31,960 Speaker 5: and they're great kicker and Cam Little and Washington who's 1522 01:23:32,000 --> 01:23:36,280 Speaker 5: had a couple touchdowns in special teams or on special teams. 1523 01:23:36,920 --> 01:23:39,200 Speaker 5: I think our special teams unit feels like they have 1524 01:23:39,280 --> 01:23:41,479 Speaker 5: something to prove in this matchup. I talked to Sam 1525 01:23:41,520 --> 01:23:43,960 Speaker 5: Franklin Junior, who is kind of like the tone setter 1526 01:23:44,040 --> 01:23:47,439 Speaker 5: on Buffalo Special teams. This is his first playoff game 1527 01:23:47,520 --> 01:23:50,920 Speaker 5: of his NFL career, which is crazy to think about. 1528 01:23:50,960 --> 01:23:52,960 Speaker 5: Just being a part of this team since twenty nineteen. 1529 01:23:53,000 --> 01:23:55,080 Speaker 5: The playoffs is kind of all we know. It's just 1530 01:23:55,160 --> 01:23:58,760 Speaker 5: something that happens for this team because Josh Allen and 1531 01:23:58,800 --> 01:24:02,719 Speaker 5: their offense and defense have been so good, and people 1532 01:24:02,760 --> 01:24:06,200 Speaker 5: like Franklin are really really excited and amped up about 1533 01:24:06,200 --> 01:24:09,120 Speaker 5: this opportunity if it is your first playoff game, and 1534 01:24:09,520 --> 01:24:11,720 Speaker 5: I think he's going in there feeling like I want 1535 01:24:11,720 --> 01:24:14,120 Speaker 5: to set the tone on special teams. I want us 1536 01:24:14,120 --> 01:24:16,080 Speaker 5: to really be able to help out our offense. I 1537 01:24:16,120 --> 01:24:19,200 Speaker 5: want to inject life into this team when we're out there. 1538 01:24:19,640 --> 01:24:22,240 Speaker 5: So I would say the special teams unit is one 1539 01:24:22,280 --> 01:24:24,479 Speaker 5: reason why I feel like they're They ended the season 1540 01:24:24,560 --> 01:24:27,879 Speaker 5: in a good place. Ray Davis, I think, is happy 1541 01:24:27,920 --> 01:24:30,519 Speaker 5: with this new home that he found himself and leading 1542 01:24:30,560 --> 01:24:33,800 Speaker 5: the NFL and kick return yards average. I also think 1543 01:24:33,880 --> 01:24:36,599 Speaker 5: the vibe in the locker room is in a really 1544 01:24:36,640 --> 01:24:38,839 Speaker 5: good place right now. I feel like the guys feel 1545 01:24:39,439 --> 01:24:42,479 Speaker 5: level headed about this matchup, not too high, not too low, 1546 01:24:43,520 --> 01:24:46,600 Speaker 5: not really anxious. I feel like being in the process 1547 01:24:46,640 --> 01:24:50,280 Speaker 5: that Sean McDermott talks about is really how they're going 1548 01:24:50,360 --> 01:24:53,080 Speaker 5: through their week and how they're going through every single day, 1549 01:24:53,640 --> 01:24:56,800 Speaker 5: not sweating the small stuff, not getting too worried or 1550 01:24:56,840 --> 01:24:59,559 Speaker 5: nervous about what's down the road, really just looking at 1551 01:24:59,560 --> 01:25:02,799 Speaker 5: the game in front of them. So those are two reasons, 1552 01:25:02,800 --> 01:25:05,240 Speaker 5: and then a third reason. I think this team has 1553 01:25:05,240 --> 01:25:07,799 Speaker 5: done a better job of taking care of the football 1554 01:25:07,840 --> 01:25:10,280 Speaker 5: on offense down the stretch. In the last four games, 1555 01:25:10,280 --> 01:25:12,799 Speaker 5: they just have one turnover that ties for the lowest 1556 01:25:13,080 --> 01:25:14,840 Speaker 5: in the league. And then if you look at the 1557 01:25:14,880 --> 01:25:16,880 Speaker 5: defense in the second half of the season, they've been 1558 01:25:16,920 --> 01:25:19,680 Speaker 5: forcing more takeaways down the stretch, and I think that's 1559 01:25:19,720 --> 01:25:20,679 Speaker 5: going to play a factor too. 1560 01:25:21,120 --> 01:25:23,679 Speaker 3: There you go. Hopefully that's satisfy as you there, Steven 1561 01:25:24,760 --> 01:25:27,280 Speaker 3: and makes you feel a little bit better and breathing 1562 01:25:27,280 --> 01:25:28,880 Speaker 3: a little bit easier. Although we know a lot of 1563 01:25:28,920 --> 01:25:31,080 Speaker 3: Bills fans are just going to be biting their fingernails 1564 01:25:31,280 --> 01:25:34,320 Speaker 3: from start to finishing this thing. But man, it would 1565 01:25:34,320 --> 01:25:35,920 Speaker 3: be nice if they could get up on them and 1566 01:25:36,400 --> 01:25:39,519 Speaker 3: coast to victory. But that's not usually what happens when 1567 01:25:39,600 --> 01:25:41,800 Speaker 3: you get to the playoffs. We've got to take a 1568 01:25:41,800 --> 01:25:44,719 Speaker 3: break here. One segment to go at Northtown, Toyota eleven 1569 01:25:44,760 --> 01:25:48,720 Speaker 3: thirty five Miller's Port Highway here in Amherst, and we'll 1570 01:25:48,800 --> 01:25:54,120 Speaker 3: throw some potential records that could be set like that 1571 01:25:54,960 --> 01:25:58,320 Speaker 3: NFL historical marks that Josh Allen could set before his 1572 01:25:58,400 --> 01:26:01,200 Speaker 3: thirtieth birthday will out line some of those few. Next 1573 01:26:01,240 --> 01:26:10,360 Speaker 3: here on one, Bill's Live Vision to victory is presented 1574 01:26:10,360 --> 01:26:12,600 Speaker 3: by wall Ike here, the official eye care provider of 1575 01:26:12,600 --> 01:26:15,960 Speaker 3: the Buffalo Bills. And for me, Maddie, I just think 1576 01:26:16,280 --> 01:26:18,960 Speaker 3: for the Bills to get a win on the road 1577 01:26:19,000 --> 01:26:22,360 Speaker 3: here in the playoffs, their run game just has to 1578 01:26:22,400 --> 01:26:26,760 Speaker 3: be functional enough to keep the offense on schedule. And 1579 01:26:26,920 --> 01:26:29,479 Speaker 3: I think James Cook is an expert at making something 1580 01:26:29,520 --> 01:26:32,080 Speaker 3: out of nothing. We hear Joe Brady call them the 1581 01:26:32,120 --> 01:26:34,559 Speaker 3: bloody runs, the one in two yard runs. I think, 1582 01:26:34,880 --> 01:26:37,639 Speaker 3: just at least get to get to second and eight 1583 01:26:37,960 --> 01:26:41,240 Speaker 3: so you're at least relatively on schedule, second and seven, 1584 01:26:41,320 --> 01:26:44,680 Speaker 3: Second and six is obviously better, but don't be discouraged 1585 01:26:44,680 --> 01:26:48,519 Speaker 3: by two yard runs early. They will materialize into bigger 1586 01:26:48,560 --> 01:26:52,240 Speaker 3: gains as you go on. And then defensively, no explosives 1587 01:26:52,280 --> 01:26:55,320 Speaker 3: particularly on the ground. We heard Greg Cosel talk about 1588 01:26:55,320 --> 01:26:58,960 Speaker 3: how Travis Etn and even bash All Tutin can break 1589 01:26:59,000 --> 01:27:03,360 Speaker 3: off runs no explosive runs, and then hey, if you 1590 01:27:03,400 --> 01:27:06,160 Speaker 3: can get a takeaway, great, you know, kind of feed 1591 01:27:06,200 --> 01:27:08,760 Speaker 3: into that and maybe give Jacksonville a taste to their 1592 01:27:08,800 --> 01:27:11,840 Speaker 3: own medicine and give your offense a couple of extra possessions. 1593 01:27:11,840 --> 01:27:14,080 Speaker 3: You do that, I think you're in pretty good shape 1594 01:27:14,080 --> 01:27:15,400 Speaker 3: without making any mistakes here on. 1595 01:27:15,600 --> 01:27:18,920 Speaker 5: Yeah, Jacksonville leads the league in points off turnovers and 1596 01:27:19,000 --> 01:27:23,040 Speaker 5: they have top three I want to say offensive drives 1597 01:27:23,080 --> 01:27:27,639 Speaker 5: because they've gotten so many extra possessions because their defense 1598 01:27:27,680 --> 01:27:30,080 Speaker 5: has been so good at taking away the football. But yeah, 1599 01:27:30,120 --> 01:27:32,720 Speaker 5: I'm looking out our defense to force a takeaway in 1600 01:27:32,800 --> 01:27:34,840 Speaker 5: this one. I think it'll be really important when you 1601 01:27:34,880 --> 01:27:38,080 Speaker 5: look at that turnover margin for Buffalo to win that number. 1602 01:27:38,360 --> 01:27:43,920 Speaker 5: And after James Cook won that rushing title that he 1603 01:27:44,080 --> 01:27:46,760 Speaker 5: was up for sixteen twenty one is what James Cook 1604 01:27:46,760 --> 01:27:49,559 Speaker 5: finishes with. He posts on Instagram right after with a 1605 01:27:49,560 --> 01:27:51,559 Speaker 5: bunch of pictures of him throughout the season and the 1606 01:27:51,640 --> 01:27:54,720 Speaker 5: caption more to go. I think James Cook has some 1607 01:27:54,760 --> 01:27:57,400 Speaker 5: stuff left in that bag and he's saving it for 1608 01:27:57,439 --> 01:27:59,920 Speaker 5: the playoffs. I'm excited to see what the rushing offense 1609 01:28:00,080 --> 01:28:02,040 Speaker 5: does against a really good run defense. 1610 01:28:01,720 --> 01:28:04,839 Speaker 3: So that is vision to victory the Bills. Friday injury 1611 01:28:04,880 --> 01:28:08,200 Speaker 3: report is out and really no surprises here, a lot 1612 01:28:08,240 --> 01:28:10,559 Speaker 3: of what we told you at the top of the show. Bernard, 1613 01:28:10,600 --> 01:28:15,120 Speaker 3: Hairston out as expected, Johnson, Palmer, Prater, and Thompson all 1614 01:28:15,200 --> 01:28:19,640 Speaker 3: listed as questionable, though McDermott said he expects Thompson to 1615 01:28:19,680 --> 01:28:22,200 Speaker 3: be good to go for the game and presumably he'll 1616 01:28:22,200 --> 01:28:26,719 Speaker 3: start a middle linebacker. Knowing Bernard is out for this one, 1617 01:28:27,040 --> 01:28:31,200 Speaker 3: I wanted to share a couple of potential records that 1618 01:28:31,360 --> 01:28:34,559 Speaker 3: Josh Allen could tie. He needs one passing touchdown in 1619 01:28:34,560 --> 01:28:37,160 Speaker 3: the postseason to break a tie with Hall of Famer 1620 01:28:37,200 --> 01:28:40,839 Speaker 3: Brett Favre and Joe Flacco for second most playoff passing 1621 01:28:40,880 --> 01:28:44,720 Speaker 3: touchdowns prior to age thirty in NFL history. The only 1622 01:28:44,760 --> 01:28:49,120 Speaker 3: guy with more than him Patrick Mahomes, who's got significantly more, 1623 01:28:49,160 --> 01:28:51,439 Speaker 3: having played in more playoff games having gone to five 1624 01:28:51,479 --> 01:28:55,280 Speaker 3: Super Bowls. And then Allen needs one rushing touchdown to 1625 01:28:55,400 --> 01:28:58,479 Speaker 3: tie Steve Young, Hall of Famer for second most playoff 1626 01:28:58,520 --> 01:29:01,880 Speaker 3: rushing touchdowns by a quarterback in NFL history. The only 1627 01:29:01,920 --> 01:29:04,840 Speaker 3: guy he would be behind is Jalen Hurts, who has 1628 01:29:04,920 --> 01:29:10,479 Speaker 3: ten so little carrots out there to chase after. But 1629 01:29:10,560 --> 01:29:12,960 Speaker 3: that'll do it for us here at Northtown Toyota eleven 1630 01:29:13,040 --> 01:29:16,320 Speaker 3: thirty five Millersport Highway in Amherst. Whatever you're looking for, 1631 01:29:16,360 --> 01:29:19,680 Speaker 3: you'll find it at Northtown. Maddie, thanks for helping us 1632 01:29:19,680 --> 01:29:22,639 Speaker 3: out here on a Friday. Enjoy the game, everybody, Mattie. 1633 01:29:22,640 --> 01:29:25,479 Speaker 3: You'll have postgame coverage with Steve on Sunday. We'll have 1634 01:29:25,520 --> 01:29:27,960 Speaker 3: a full show at noon on Monday. Let's hope for 1635 01:29:28,000 --> 01:29:32,479 Speaker 3: a win, everybody,
