00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 2: of weeks they've been out there. There was no need

7
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 2: to practice outside the last couple of weeks preparing for

8
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 2: playing at Sofi Stadium in la and then Ford Field

00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 2: and Detroit, so they had been in the field house

00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 2: for the better part of the last two weeks. Outdoors

11
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 2: today on their grass practice field, So kudos to our

12
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 2: local groundscrew for getting the grass cleared of snow and

13
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:14,759
Speaker 2: anything else.

14
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:16,759
Speaker 1: That's all they've been doing for a week and a half.

15
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 2: It's been snow removal here like round the clock. It's

16
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:25,319
Speaker 2: been crazy. But it's ready ready to roll and they're

Speaker 2: out there practicing. So remember, as soon as the media

18
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 2: viewing portion of practice ends, we will provide you with

19
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 2: practice updates, so we'll get those to you in short order.

20
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 1: We have back in that it used to this used

21
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 1: to be the dog days of the season. Man. Even

22
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:41,759
Speaker 1: when you're winning a bunch of games, you go out

23
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: and it's.

24
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 2: Just you guys had the practice bubble, right, wasn't here.

25
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: We never used it unless it was actively snowing at

26
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 1: the point we were going to practice, because we always

27
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: practiced down the old in the stadium in the bowl,

28
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: and the surface was different then and they could just

29
00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: sweep it off. They wouldn't have you didn't have the

30
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: what's in it about carp right, just it's yeah, it's concrete,

31
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 1: it's carpet over ashvillt So they just brush it off

32
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: and here we go. So we practiced in the stadium

33
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 1: almost exclusively, even in inclement weather, and yeah, it was

34
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 1: It's just it's not the it's not the fun part

35
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: about being a pro athlete.

36
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 2: Perhaps weather well, you know, yeah, that's kind of what

37
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:33,079
Speaker 2: you sign up for. Yeah, it's interesting because in England

38
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 2: and some of the other European leagues, their soccer seasons

39
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 2: go from August to May. They play through the winner.

40
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: Why do they do that?

41
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 2: That's a very good question.

42
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 1: Especially in Europe where it's you know, north.

43
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 2: Well, if you're in Spain, it's pretty nice all year, right,

44
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 2: even southern Italy you're not. You know, it's in the fifties,

45
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. So you're okay. But in England,

46
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,359
Speaker 2: Ireland's stand where they have all these leagues and they

47
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 2: play through the winter.

48
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 1: It doesn't really matter.

49
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're out there running around in.

50
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: Shorts and some the summer is winter.

51
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, so.

52
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 2: I don't know, but that's why a lot of those

53
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 2: newer soccer stadiums over there, because they only play on grass,

54
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 2: they don't play on turf. They have those heated coil

55
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 2: systems underneath the grass, so the ground never freezes and

56
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 2: the ground's crew can continue to grow the grass even

57
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 2: through the winter months, right, because I think if anybody

58
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 2: around here has a lawn, they know the grass stops

59
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 2: growing around Halloween, and if it's not growing, it's hard

60
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 2: to maintain the quality of the grass. So that's what

61
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 2: new Hi Mark Stadium's gonna have. They're gonna have a

62
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 2: heated coil system underneath the grass surface and it will

63
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 2: keep the ground from freezing number one, and by keeping

64
00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 2: it warm, they can extend the growing season all through

65
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 2: at least through the end of the NFL season, you know,

66
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 2: end of January. Over there in Europe they do it

67
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 2: year round.

68
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 3: They just keep it.

69
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 1: See some video of some stadiums and how they grow

70
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: the grass, and I think I don't. I don't think

71
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: it was fake. They had like tears of like one

72
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: end of the stadium would open up and there's.

73
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 2: A huge So you're thinking, yeah, you're thinking of Tottenham

74
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 2: Stadium where the Bills played last year, because they signed

75
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 2: up to be NFL compliant when they built the stadium.

76
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 2: So they have a turf field that they use for

77
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 2: American football, and then that goes down into a pit,

78
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 2: slides out, and the grass field slides out from under

79
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 2: the grand stand on one sideline. While it's under there,

80
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 2: hydroponic lamps exactly.

81
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: They got lamps for it. It grows grass in the dark.

82
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 2: A lot of money to do that.

83
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: Let's go.

84
00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 2: There. They are serious about playing on and I'll say.

85
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 1: This too that their grass surfaces are not fit for football.

86
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: I mean American will tear it up.

87
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 2: Football players would tear it up.

88
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: American football players and their games rip it apart because

89
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 1: they they clip it extremely close. It's cut short, short,

90
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 1: like it's not like Wimbledon's tennis courts, not like not

91
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: like a green. But it really does get ripped up

92
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: and in fact, you have to wear different I remember

93
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 1: when we went over to practice.

94
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 4: Uh.

95
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,359
Speaker 1: For when we played in Wimbley and in in Olympic

96
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 1: Stadium in Germany, you had to wear different shoes because

97
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 1: of the grass surface. It was we were sliding all

98
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 1: over the place.

99
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,039
Speaker 2: I will tell you there have been a handful of

100
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 2: soccer clubs who, when facing a team that they knew

101
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:54,279
Speaker 2: was faster than them, might skip a grass cutting or

102
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 2: two because it would slow the ball down and make

103
00:05:58,360 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 2: that team easier to defend.

104
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:01,039
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, gamesmanship.

105
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, it does happen in the beautiful in the beautiful game,

106
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 2: in the beautiful game.

107
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: Yes, wow, think about it.

108
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 2: So there you go.

109
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 1: Uh.

110
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 2: Moving forward, though, we got to talk about American football first.

111
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 2: I'll give you the lineup for today's show. Bottom of

112
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 2: the hour will be joined by ESPN NFL insider and

113
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 2: fantasy football analyst Field Yates with his ultimate fantasy lineup

114
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 2: for week sixteen. So we'll get that from him at

115
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 2: the bottom of the hour. Get his thoughts, probably too,

116
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 2: on Bill's Patriots. I mean he's living up there in

117
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 2: New England. He's got his ear to the ground on

118
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 2: New Englands. He might ask him a questions you about

119
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 2: that as well. Second hour of the show, the Hall

120
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 2: of Famer will be here Thurman Thomas, so we'll catch

121
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 2: up with Therm and he's got to be excited about

122
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 2: what the running backs did for this offense last week.

123
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 1: Huh, we're gonna huh, We're gonna sit here and listen

124
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 1: to this he's left. Because think about it too. The

125
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,359
Speaker 1: atmosphere like not only the Bills running backs carrying the

126
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: load against the number one NFC team in the league,

127
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 1: but also around the league with Saquon Barkley doing what

128
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: he's doing and Henry doing what he's doing. Them's gonna

129
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: be all fat and happy coming in here. Hey man.

130
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 2: James Cook has thirteen rushing touchdowns on the season. He

131
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 2: needs only three more to tie Oj Simpson for the

132
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 2: most rushing touchdowns in a single season. He has sixteen

133
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 2: and nineteen seventy five.

134
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: He's near the league leaders anyways, right behind Henry.

135
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, right behind Derek. Henry tied for second in the

136
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 2: league with.

137
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: Thirteen, so he's hanging right there with him. Yeah, it's

138
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: been great.

139
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 2: Of course, Josh is sneaking up too, because he's got eleven.

140
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 1: Now right we're running. The Bills are running for a

141
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: ton of.

142
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, they have touchdown I think they have twenty eight

143
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 2: rushing touchdowns this year, which leads the league. So they

144
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 2: are crushing it on the ground in the red zone

145
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 2: because most of those have been in in close. I mean,

146
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 2: Cook has a forty nine yarder, the forty one yarder

147
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 2: last week, and a sixty five yard are on the

148
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 2: ground against the Niners, so he's got three long ones,

149
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 2: but most of them have been from in close, most

150
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 2: of them. Josh had the twenty six yarder against the

151
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 2: Chiefs at the end of the game on fourth and two,

152
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 2: but a lot of them have been in the low red.

153
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: Zone this season, so that's probably only the numbers I'm

154
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: looking at. Derrick Henry's got fifteen touchdowns, but thirteen of

155
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: them are rushing. Cook has fourteen tds, thirteen of them

156
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: are also rushing, and Josh is tied for fourth in

157
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: the league behind Cook with twelve. He and Josh has

158
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 1: as many as Joe Mixon does. So gid y up,

159
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 1: let's go, Let's go, and then you go all the

160
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 1: way down the list, and then way down the list

161
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 1: is Ray Days with five. He's tied four twenty ninth.

162
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 2: But every I think every Bill's running back has at

163
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 2: least one receiving touchdown.

164
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,079
Speaker 1: Mc collins got five touchdowns.

165
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:13,679
Speaker 2: But every Bill's running back has at least one receiving

166
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 2: touchdown too, so that's kind of cool. This week's game

172
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 2: we will get you some practice updates here shortly. But

173
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 2: there was a roster transaction today on the practice squad

174
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 2: side of the roster. They re signed Casey two Hill

175
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 2: to the practice squad and released defensive tackle Ilianku to

176
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 2: make room for him there. If you remember, earlier in

177
00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 2: the week, Casey two Hill was released from the active

178
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 2: roster to make room for rookie offensive tackle Tyland Grabil,

179
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 2: who was healthy and ready to come off injured reserve,

180
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,719
Speaker 2: where he had been all season long. Practically, he got

181
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 2: hurt back in Week three against the Jaguars when he

182
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 2: got some playing time. Because the Bills were so far

183
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 2: up on the Jags, they took a lot of their

184
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 2: starters out of the game. He came in and played

185
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 2: and then suffered a core muscle injury which I believe

186
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 2: required surgery. So he had been out since late September

187
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 2: and finally comes back here in mid December.

188
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: You think the stuff they're doing with Ankou two Hill

189
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:43,959
Speaker 1: has anything to do with with our boy Solomon, I

190
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 1: think so.

191
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 2: I mean Dwan Smooth is back too, right, he came

192
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 2: back off ir So they're a little heavy at defensive

193
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 2: end and can move, and I think I think they

194
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 2: want a little more depth at defensive tax. So if

195
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 2: you look at their roster and how it's currently constituted,

196
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 2: you've got day Kwon Jones, Ed Oliver, Jordan Phillips, Dwayne Carter,

197
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 2: and you also have Quentin Jefferson and Austin Johnson. So

198
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 2: you've got six defensive tackles now, and I don't think

199
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:25,719
Speaker 2: that's by accident and because of that, and you still

200
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 2: you still have five defensive ends if you count Von

201
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 2: Miller in the group. He's listed as a linebacker, but

202
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 2: he plays defensive end. So yeah, you've got twelve or sorry,

203
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 2: eleven defensive linemen on the roster right now, if you

204
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 2: count Vaughn who's listed as a linebacker, but we all

205
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 2: know where he lines up in place. So eleven defensive

206
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 2: linemen on the roster twelve is a little too fat,

207
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 2: and I think that's why two Hill was moved off

208
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 2: the roster. And I think on offense, you'd like to

209
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 2: have The Bills went into the season in Week one

210
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 2: with four offensive tackles. You know Grabel at the beginning

211
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 2: of the season, for those that don't remember, he won

212
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 2: the swing tackle job, beat out Ryan Vandermark for that,

213
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,680
Speaker 2: and then Ryan Vandermark was your fourth tackle that was

214
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:20,080
Speaker 2: on the roster. So they're back to four tackles now. Fortunately,

215
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 2: they had gotten through this last three months with only

216
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 2: three true offensive tackles. Now they have four again, which

217
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 2: is where the roster was at the beginning of the year.

218
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:32,559
Speaker 2: So I can promise you Aaron Kromer, the offensive line coach,

219
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 2: is all too happy that he's got his full complement

220
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:39,440
Speaker 2: of depth on the edges now with four offensive tackles.

221
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 1: And plus the guys that they thought they were going

222
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:45,079
Speaker 1: to start the season with in there. Yeah, Tyland Grabel

223
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 1: is an interesting story right now. He's back on that

224
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 1: they waited on him. I mean, yeah, they liked what

225
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 1: they saw early on in this camp.

226
00:12:56,640 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 2: He's an extraordinary athlete, you know. For his six foot

227
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 2: six player that plays out on the edge of tackle.

228
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 2: He's got great feet. This is a guy who was

229
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 2: a former high school quarterback. So right, just to kind

230
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 2: of paint the picture a little bit, we also have

231
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 2: this to pass along to you. The legend of the

232
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 2: game for Sunday's four to twenty five start is former

233
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 2: Bills defensive end Marcellus Wiley, better known as Wild Style.

234
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 2: That was his nickname. Anyway, this week's legend of the game.

235
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 2: So the legend of the game is presented by the

236
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:39,079
Speaker 2: BFLO Store and official retailer of the Buffalo Bills. And

237
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 2: for those that are too young to remember Marcellus Wiley's.

238
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 1: Career, a teammate of mind is a.

239
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,959
Speaker 2: Teammate of yours just starting his career when yours was

240
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 2: wrapping up. I want to say it was the ninety yes,

241
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 2: ninety six draft, I believe. So he was second round

242
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 2: pick in the ninety sixth draft out of Columbia where

243
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 2: he was defensive end. And I'll never forget I had

244
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 2: a conversation with him as a young player and I said,

245
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 2: how are you learning, you know, from Bruce Smith about

246
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 2: the art of rushing the passer? And he said, well,

247
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,680
Speaker 2: I've learned some helpful things from Bruce. He goes, but

248
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 2: there are some things that Bruce does that I tried

249
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 2: to do and I fall on the ground. He is saying,

250
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 2: you know, Bruce, when he runs the hoop, you know,

251
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 2: and he basically is at a forty five degree angle

252
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 2: and looks like a motorcyclist going around to turn in

253
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 2: a race. He goes, I can't do that. I fall

254
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 2: down when I try to do that. So there were

255
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 2: certain things that Marcella's just realized, well, that's all well

256
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 2: and good Bruce, but you're one of one. I can't

257
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 2: do that. I'm going to try something else.

258
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 1: So Marcellus was an impressive looking dude. He had all

259
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 1: yeah physical tools. He was an absolute stud.

260
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 2: And fortunately for him, he had a ten sack season

261
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 2: in the last year of his rookie deal and made

262
00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 2: a pile of money signed with the Chargers, big money deal.

263
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 1: He is a smart obviously smart guy going to Columbia,

264
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: had all of that going for him. Big physical dude. Yeah,

265
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 1: he was a and he was a great teammate really

266
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 1: great teammates and hilarious. Yeah, he's a great guy. And

267
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 1: now you see him all he has a media presence

268
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: now obviously a national media presence. He's it's not he's

269
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 1: not all fluff. The guy could really play. And I'm

270
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 1: glad he's coming back. That'll be great.

271
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 2: Yes, him and Pat Williams were two of the younger

272
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 2: players in that locker room and they were thicke as thieves. Yeah,

273
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 2: that was a fun defensive line because you had some

274
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 2: veteran players like Phil Hansen and obviously Bruce Ted Washington,

275
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 2: and then you had some young guys like Pat Williams

276
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 2: and Marcellus Wiley. It was a good group. They had

277
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 2: a good group up front in that three four underweight Phillips.

278
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 2: So it was a fun It's a fun group for sure.

279
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 2: And you know, unfortunately they did not hang on to

280
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 2: marsw Wiley or Pat Williams. You know, Marcellus left for

281
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 2: a big money deal because the bills were really bad

282
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 2: up against the cap, trying to hold on to a

283
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 2: lot of the veterans and they couldn't afford Marcellus. And

284
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 2: then a couple of years later, Pat Williams left for Minnesota.

285
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 1: And have a fantastic career in Minnesota.

286
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 2: That's right. And after Bruce went to Washington, and that's

287
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 2: what led to the beginning of the Dark days because

288
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 2: for about ten years the Bills couldn't stop the run

289
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 2: or rush the passer because they let the young guys

290
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 2: that were up and coming sign big money deals elsewhere.

291
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 2: And then the veterans aged out, and boy we had

292
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 2: some We're wandering through a dark and stormy forest for years.

293
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 1: Large, very wide desert that the Bills.

294
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 2: Entered into that and there were no oasis to speak of.

295
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 2: What's the plural of oasis? Oases? Is that how you

296
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 2: would say itai? Es would be the plural, right, because

297
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 2: oasis is the singular.

298
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 1: We have ai for that.

299
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we're gonna have to. I want to

300
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:09,119
Speaker 2: check that. I was always curious.

301
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 1: Well, sure everybody's riveted to the multiple oases oases, and

302
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 1: it might be right.

303
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 2: It might be I think I might have that.

304
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 1: We'll find out in the break and if it's worth

305
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 1: telling you, we will not forget about.

306
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 2: And if I'm right, how proud will my English teacher

307
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 2: be of me? I mean, I'm just.

308
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 1: Saying, how proud will you be?

309
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 2: If you're well half the time, I'm a shot in

310
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 2: the dark with some of that.

311
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 1: That's right.

312
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 2: We have to go around the NFL, which is presented

313
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:39,399
Speaker 2: by Kalida Healthy, official healthcare system of the Buffalo Bills,

314
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:43,439
Speaker 2: and we'll begin with one of our favorite people, Steve

315
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:45,680
Speaker 2: good Old Aaron Rodgers.

316
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 1: I knew you were going to say that. I knew it.

317
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:53,919
Speaker 2: He stated that he is undecided on his future, but

318
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:58,399
Speaker 2: indicated his decision won't be influenced by the Jets plans.

319
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 2: I got news for you, Aaron going to be very

320
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 2: influenced by the Jets plans, because if they don't include you,

321
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 2: you're not gonna be there. Can he be that naive?

322
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,119
Speaker 1: I don't know, I think it. I don't think he

323
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:12,679
Speaker 1: was saying whether he plays for the Jets or not.

324
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:14,679
Speaker 1: I think he's saying whether he wants to continue his

325
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:15,199
Speaker 1: career or not.

326
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, he said he's not opposed to the idea of

327
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 2: helping develop a highly drafted quarterback. He said on the

328
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 2: Pat McAfee show this week, when they drafted Jordan Love

329
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 2: in Green Bay, I felt like I was one bad

330
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 2: stretch from being benched, and I won MVP A couple

331
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 2: of years in case you forgot. So that's the way

332
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 2: the league is. You have to prove he can play

333
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 2: every single week and through stretches. So if the Jets

334
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 2: asked me back and they drafted a guy, I'd mentor

335
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,120
Speaker 2: the halout of him if I was playing, and I'd

336
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:45,679
Speaker 2: try to play as well as I could to keep

337
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 2: him on the bench. So he's thinking, this is what

338
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:56,400
Speaker 2: he's thinking. If they keep me here, draft a quarterback

339
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 2: in round one, I'm still playing. I mean, that's what

340
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,679
Speaker 2: that sentence means. Oh, of course, absolutely, I'm still playing.

341
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:04,440
Speaker 2: And if they're gonna help him, I'll help him. But

342
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:04,879
Speaker 2: I'm playing.

343
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:08,200
Speaker 1: They let him play, They let him play. You've got it, Yes,

344
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 1: he's yes, in fact, you do everything you can to

345
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 1: help him play well, and you hope you hope he does.

346
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,639
Speaker 1: I mean, that's it. You're cheap on the cheap that

347
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 1: he's doing the right. He's right in this. That's his

348
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 1: best shot.

349
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 2: Now, well, yes, there are other teams that need quarterbacks.

350
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, he wants to stay right there in New

351
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,679
Speaker 1: York and he wants to mentor. He wants the Jets

352
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:40,680
Speaker 1: to get a guy he can mentor. So that makes

353
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 1: him useful because if they're gonna They're not gonna go

354
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 1: into next year with just him. And if he's already said, listen,

355
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:51,239
Speaker 1: I'm gonna help you make this guy successful. That's all

356
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 1: they want to hear. He's absolutely posturing.

357
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, you want to know why, because he's doing thirty

358
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 2: five million dollar option bonus in twenty twenty five.

359
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 1: Well, if the Jets are small, if they won't do that,

360
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,119
Speaker 1: I can't see them paying. No, they'll cut them and

361
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 1: then hey, you want to come back, we'll let you

362
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 1: come back.

363
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:07,359
Speaker 2: I think they're paying that. I mean, if the Jets,

364
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 2: I can't believe I'm saying this. If the Jets are smart,

365
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 2: I can't even say without laughing. If the Jets are smart,

366
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 2: they would just tear up the contract and release them

367
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 2: and say, look happy to sign you back at less money. Right,

368
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 2: but we can't do text. We can't do this, that's right.

369
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,399
Speaker 2: And then and then if he says why, I would say,

370
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 2: did you see how you look last season?

371
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,160
Speaker 1: We're not going to you're a bridge quarterback now, We're

372
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:32,879
Speaker 1: not going to pay you that kind of money. We

373
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:34,199
Speaker 1: appreciate what you've done for.

374
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 2: I want to get more.

375
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 1: Find somebody else appreciate the effort. You've put forth force

376
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 1: even though it came to nothing. And if you want

377
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:42,399
Speaker 1: to come back and help us mentor this guy awesome,

378
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:44,360
Speaker 1: we'd love to have you do it, but you better

379
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:45,879
Speaker 1: play good or he's playing in front of you.

380
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 2: And just to give you an idea on what a

381
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 2: mess the Jets are at the very top of the organization,

382
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:57,479
Speaker 2: there was a report out from a Jets reporter this

383
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:04,400
Speaker 2: week that said last offseason, Joe Douglas then GM he's

384
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 2: since been fired, had a deal in the works with

385
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 2: the Denver Broncos to acquire wide receiver Jerry Judy for

386
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 2: the Jets offense, and Joe Douglas brings it to owner

387
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:25,400
Speaker 2: Woody Johnson. He nixes the deal, reportedly because Jerry Judy's

388
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:32,439
Speaker 2: wait for it, Madden rating was too low. The owner

389
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 2: of the Jets is determining whether trades should be consummated

390
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:40,959
Speaker 2: based on the Madden rating of a player. The Madden

391
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 2: rating that's maddening is what that is? Gosh, that's called

392
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 2: a meddling owner, and meddling owners usually deep six their

393
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 2: team because they don't know enough about player personnel to

394
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:02,679
Speaker 2: make informed decisions. More often than not. Now you know

395
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 2: I would say Jerry Jones, back in his heyday, having

396
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:09,920
Speaker 2: played college football himself, you know, as a guard at Arkansas,

397
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 2: you know, has some semblance of a feel for what

398
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:17,679
Speaker 2: makes a good player, particularly an offensive lineman per se

399
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 2: Woody Johnson. I don't even know if he's ever thrown

400
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:22,120
Speaker 2: a football.

401
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 1: Well, also in his backyard. And one of the things

402
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,119
Speaker 1: about that, when Jerry got started in Dallas, he had

403
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:32,439
Speaker 1: his buddy, you know, Jimmy Johnson, who did know, and

404
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:34,440
Speaker 1: said here's how we're going to do it. And Jerry said, okay,

405
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:36,199
Speaker 1: let's go. And that was the way it went for

406
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 1: a long time. And that's why they split up because

407
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 1: Jerry started to learn more and no more and have

408
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 1: more stronger opinions. I knew everything, and yeah, and then

409
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 1: those two split up. But uh, this is not that.

410
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 2: No, it's not.

411
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:52,119
Speaker 3: He hired me.

412
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 2: You hire general managers to be your personnel experts.

413
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:57,199
Speaker 1: That's correct.

414
00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:59,640
Speaker 2: Yes, they should come to you just for to get

415
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:01,679
Speaker 2: you to say off and approve on it. Ask a

416
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 2: question or two if you want to, and if you're

417
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:08,680
Speaker 2: vehemently against it for some other reason besides their ability

418
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:13,640
Speaker 2: to play football, then weigh in. But other than that,

419
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:18,400
Speaker 2: you hired those guys to make your team better. Let them,

420
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:22,159
Speaker 2: and he does not at every turn seemingly. And if

421
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 2: he's relying on Madden ratings, I think it's a strong

422
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 2: indication that he does not know anything about the quality

423
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:30,879
Speaker 2: of personnel around the league or even on his own roster.

424
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:35,879
Speaker 1: Yes, and I'm not Yeah, I mean I can't. We

425
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:39,639
Speaker 1: can't get into I mean, yes, there's no reason to

426
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 1: take video ratings videos on your personnel decisions in real life.

427
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 2: Can you believe you just said that sentence.

428
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 1: I can't believe I had to listen. Here's the thing.

429
00:23:56,680 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 1: It's fun. There's no doubt about it is fun. All

430
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:02,879
Speaker 1: of us do it because it is fun. All of

431
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 1: us sit out there and say, well, we should have

432
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 1: gotten this guy now. I mean we we got a

433
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 1: whole show around that in the offseason, people saying, wet's

434
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 1: draft this guy, Let's do this, Let's take this guy,

435
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,199
Speaker 1: Let's make this guy look like that guy. Let's take

436
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,680
Speaker 1: this guy because he's better than that guy. That's what

437
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 1: we was fun. It's and it's also fun even if

438
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 1: you're worth a bunch of billions of dollars, it's still fun.

439
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 1: The problem is.

440
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 2: He can actually make those changes.

441
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 1: He can make those changes and they happen in reality,

442
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 1: or that he can stop them from happening. You know,

443
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:39,359
Speaker 1: well we see. I mean, look, I mean, look at

444
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears there. The NFC North is going to

445
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 1: set the NFL record for the highest winning percentage of

446
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 1: an entire division's teams the Bears and the Bears are

447
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 1: four and they're four and ten.

448
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:58,399
Speaker 2: We're gonna set this record despite the fact that we

449
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 2: have to do the Bears d right, the Bears are

450
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 2: and they you know, it's just so horrible.

451
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 1: So, yeah, the Jets are yet again getting absolutely dragged

452
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:20,199
Speaker 1: in social media and popular media and sports media and

453
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:22,360
Speaker 1: any other kind of social media you want to get.

454
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:26,239
Speaker 1: They are absolutely getting dragged today for the way for

455
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 1: what has been reported about how they're making decisions over there.

456
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:34,200
Speaker 1: It is just yeah, it's so I mean, Brownie and

457
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,160
Speaker 1: I talk about this so much. It's all. I'm almost

458
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 1: the point where it's like, wow, man, I feel bad

459
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 1: for their fans, you know. I mean, it's one thing

460
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 1: to go through a drought like the Bills did, where

461
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 1: you get the idea, at least they're doing doing as

462
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,880
Speaker 1: much as they can with what they got. I mean

463
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 1: you said it self sabotage is their mascot.

464
00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:59,880
Speaker 2: What what should that look like? What should the self

465
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 2: sabotage mascot looked like?

466
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 1: It would look like a like a wily coyote dynamite plunger.

467
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 2: That is an excellent judge.

468
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 1: Just when he you got everything they set, they set

469
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 1: the explosives. They're waiting for him to come by, and

470
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 1: they've got it all set up. It's gonna be perfect.

471
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 1: And when he pushes the plunger, the plunger blows up,

472
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 1: not the dynamite.

473
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 2: That's pretty good. I'll give that to you, I think. Yeah,

474
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 2: I was thinking similarly.

475
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:35,639
Speaker 3: I was.

476
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:39,440
Speaker 2: I was picturing like a giant bomb with a fuse

477
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:44,359
Speaker 2: running low. That should be the mascot for the Jets

478
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:47,399
Speaker 2: going forward. We'll see, I mean, maybe they'll take submissions.

479
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:47,879
Speaker 1: Who knows.

480
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 2: The Kansas City Chiefs are activating Hollywood Brown, the wide

481
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 2: receiver who's been out since pretty much Week one with

482
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 2: a sternoclavical injury that required surgery. So he is back.

483
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 1: Sterno Claver stern O clovicular injury.

484
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 2: Sorry, I probably mispronounced that the first time. I am

485
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 2: not a doctor.

486
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 1: Stern clavicular. Yeah. Do I have one of those?

487
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:19,440
Speaker 2: I think we do. I hope so otherwise people might.

488
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,679
Speaker 1: I have a stern and a clavicle.

489
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,920
Speaker 2: And I think it's where it connects. That's a guest.

490
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:25,640
Speaker 1: Do they connect?

491
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 5: Yeah?

492
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:27,640
Speaker 1: I think so.

493
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 2: Your collar bone is your right you're clavical.

494
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 1: That sounds bad.

495
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:34,879
Speaker 2: Yeah. So that happened on the first play of the

496
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,920
Speaker 2: first preseason game way back in August. So he had

497
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,200
Speaker 2: surgery and has been in rehab since. But he practiced

498
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 2: last week and it looks like he's gonna get activated

499
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:44,119
Speaker 2: off injured reserve and he's going to play Saturday against

500
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:44,680
Speaker 2: the Texans.

501
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 1: So that's good.

502
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 2: We'll see what happens there with him and then Steve.

503
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:56,159
Speaker 2: Our favorite farce of the year, the Pro Bowl. The

504
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:59,119
Speaker 2: NFL is adding get ready are you ready for this?

505
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 2: The NFL is adding to some of the things we've

506
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 2: already seen, like a flag football game and a seven

507
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 2: on seven, they're adding a game show, a game, and

508
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:15,919
Speaker 2: a punting contest to its Pro Bowl skills competitions. In February,

509
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 2: the league announced the full list of challenges, including tug

510
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 2: of War and dodgeball. Dodgeball basically the Pro Bowl games

511
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 2: have turned into like a beach party. That's really what

512
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 2: it is.

513
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 1: I went to the Pro Bowl and got a busted

514
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:31,639
Speaker 1: bone in a Pro Bowl.

515
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 2: It's it's not what it used to be.

516
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, and played with it.

517
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 2: The games are taking place at the University of Central Florida.

518
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 1: We were we were so stupid in my day. What

519
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 1: were we doing. Then these guys are getting paid and

520
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 1: they're getting playing dodgeball? So the game I do and

521
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 1: covered kicks.

522
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 2: Well, I'm a dope, Well not really out of it.

523
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 1: You got a Pro Bowl MVP, right, and I still

524
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 1: got the little I got the acrylic trophy in my house. Yeah,

525
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 1: it's in my attic. That really didn't mean hit that.

526
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 2: So the game show, because I know you're wondering, it's

527
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 2: called Helmet Harmony. So it's a game show that's going

528
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 2: to test players knowledge of their teammates, riveting stuff.

529
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 1: So I'll say this. They they're trying, they're yes, you

530
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 1: need to come up with an idea that will be

531
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 1: that the players will want to be a part of.

532
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 1: It will be something that that's competitive. Obviously you don't.

533
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 1: They don't. They're done risking their bodies. They've been doing

534
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 1: it for four six months. I have long been a

535
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 1: proponent of like, you know, its just some like a

536
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 1: slow pitch softball game or a golf match, or even

537
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 1: if it's just a meet and greet a beach party.

538
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 1: You know.

539
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:56,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was like a little surf and turf, get.

540
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 1: Them all liquored up, and then see what they have

541
00:29:58,400 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 1: to say. You know what it's like when they're when

542
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 1: they're yards down, right, who can keep their wits about

543
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 1: them the long kind of like drunk history, right, do

544
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 1: something that is compelling to watch that might work or

545
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 1: you know.

546
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 2: Or I can't see the union signing off on that though.

547
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:20,959
Speaker 1: Just call me crazy man, maybe, but still it's hard

548
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 1: to because people forget and I remind you all the time.

549
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 1: I'm the guy who's like harps on this all the time. Man,

550
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 1: it's hard to play. It hurts, hurts, And they're done, man,

551
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 1: they're just done. Even and even teams like the Jets

552
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 1: and the Patriots who aren't going to be in the

553
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 1: playoffs and they've got a month to get off those guys.

554
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 1: Like I remember, we had a year or two of those.

555
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 1: I was in eighty ninety. Yeah, so a couple of

556
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 1: them where we were out and it was like, you

557
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 1: know what, I'm kind of yeah, I feel good. Let's

558
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 1: you know go. But I've been sitting around for a month,

559
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 1: you know, just working out. These guys are like they're

560
00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 1: they're still sore.

561
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:00,120
Speaker 2: Well, they're playing an extra regular season game now. Now,

562
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 2: then you guys played.

563
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 1: Well, I played in the Super Bowl and then went

564
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 1: straight to the Pro Bowl. Yeah, so that's different.

565
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 2: That is different.

566
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 1: So I understand that it's between the championship game and

567
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl's which is a plus. That's where it

568
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 1: should be. But they should put it in the super

569
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 1: Bowl city.

570
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 2: We got to take a break. That's around the NFL

587
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:22,040
Speaker 6: Happy holidays to you and everybody watching. Looking forward to

588
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 6: a great game on Sunday evening. Now a little rare

589
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 6: one to four twenty five flex. I feel like you

590
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 6: don't see it that often in the NFL, but I'm

591
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:34,960
Speaker 6: imagining the league once as many spotlight games. But we're

592
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,480
Speaker 6: Buffalo right now. Given the stakes of a team being

593
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 6: eleven to three.

594
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think with Josh being having the season he

595
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 1: is and being the front runner for that award, I think, yeah,

596
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 1: they want to show him off, and yeah it's easy

597
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 1: to see why.

598
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:52,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, yep, totally.

599
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 3: Yeah.

600
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 2: All right, Well, he's not the quarterback you're going to

601
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:58,200
Speaker 2: feature in your Week sixteen lineup, but this guy has

602
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 2: racked up a fair amount of points for fantasy owners

603
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 2: all season long. You're gonna stick him in your daily lineup?

604
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, I was gonna say, guys, you know, it's tempting

605
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 6: to just put Josh and you're a daily lineup every

606
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:11,480
Speaker 6: single week with the way that he is playing right now.

607
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 6: But in the interest of a couple of curve ball,

608
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 6: let's go to Baker Mayfield here, who was excellent last week.

609
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 6: Fantastic for the Bucks in a big win over the Chargers.

610
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,479
Speaker 6: They just harved that defense up, and Baker had kind

611
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 6: of hit a little bit of a rut relative to

612
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:27,720
Speaker 6: where he was for the first let's call it ten

613
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:30,720
Speaker 6: weeks of the season, had a month where he wasn't

614
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 6: quite as productive. But great week last week, and what

615
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 6: a matchup it is on Sunday Night football.

616
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 7: The Cowboys playing.

617
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:40,720
Speaker 6: Better defensively for sure, but a banged up secondary that

618
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 6: of course, is without Trevon Diggs for the rest of

619
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 6: this season.

620
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 7: Good opportunity for Baker Mayfield.

621
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 6: With Mike Evans now back into the lineup and Jalen McMillan.

622
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 6: They're a rookie third round pick with thirteen targets over

623
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 6: the past two games, a couple of intriguing pieces around

624
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 6: Baker Mayfield to give this an opportunity to be a

625
00:33:57,600 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 6: big scoring night.

626
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 1: And Interestingly, as we you know, we do this every week.

627
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 1: You don't have any double ups for your quarterback wide receivers.

628
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, we're sticking away this week, but we do have

629
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 6: some interesting pix and running back, which is where we're

630
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 6: gonna start, and I'm spending this week and two guys

631
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 6: who might have an identical role on Sunday, Chase Brown

632
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:21,920
Speaker 6: from the Bengals and then also Jamiir Gibbs from the Lions.

633
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 6: So Baker was priced at eighty one hundred dollars, We're

634
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:26,680
Speaker 6: going to continue to pour some big money in early

635
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,399
Speaker 6: eighty two hundred bucks goes to Chase Brown and eighty

636
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:32,440
Speaker 6: three hundred dollars is the price for Jamier Gibbs. And

637
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:34,240
Speaker 6: as you guys know, Chase Brown has been a revelation

638
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 6: for Cincinnati this season. And it's not just because he's talented.

639
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:41,400
Speaker 6: It's also because he's been playing basically one hundred percent

640
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:46,000
Speaker 6: of the snaps for Cincinnati since the injury to Zach Moss.

641
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:48,799
Speaker 6: We have seen a ton of Chase Brown, both as

642
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 6: a runner and a receiver.

643
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:52,439
Speaker 7: He has been a.

644
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:53,879
Speaker 6: Full time starter for the Bengals for about a half

645
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 6: dozen games now. We've been a top ten scoring running

646
00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:58,799
Speaker 6: back in each of those games, so a great role there.

647
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:02,239
Speaker 6: And then you guys saw this Lion's team just last week,

648
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:05,600
Speaker 6: last Sunday, four days ago. That team obviously has a

649
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:07,480
Speaker 6: lot of talent, but a lot of talent has gone

650
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:10,839
Speaker 6: outdoor because of injury, including David Montgomery, who's now out

651
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:13,759
Speaker 6: for some period of time at least this week, and

652
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:15,800
Speaker 6: that means Shamir Gibbs is gonna be the busiest running

653
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:18,240
Speaker 6: back not named Chase Brown at all of fantasy football.

654
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:20,960
Speaker 6: Gibbs last year had three games in which there was

655
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:23,800
Speaker 6: no David Montgomery. One of them was early in the season,

656
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:26,600
Speaker 6: Week three. Then there were two late season games and

657
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:29,720
Speaker 6: basically by that point of the year, Detroit had earned

658
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:31,560
Speaker 6: the trust or he had earned the Troy the trust

659
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 6: of Detroit had Jamiir Gibbs, and he saw nearly thirty

660
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 6: carries or thirty touches per game in those two late

661
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:40,919
Speaker 6: season efforts. Well, here we are deja bou all over again.

662
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:44,160
Speaker 6: They're gonna need that from Jamiir Gibbs. And by the way,

663
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:47,720
Speaker 6: this team has not sealed anything, not just the number

664
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 6: one seed is not done, but the NFC North is

665
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 6: not done. So they're gonna need him to be as

666
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:53,920
Speaker 6: good as he possibly can.

667
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 2: All right, And then wide receivers, you got a Bill

668
00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:59,279
Speaker 2: in the lineup, and there actually is one double up

669
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 2: with there, but he looks like more of the budgetary

670
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:05,919
Speaker 2: choice as you went big spending right in the middle

671
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:07,240
Speaker 2: of your receiver line up here.

672
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:10,359
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's correct. We'll start with the Bill here, right,

673
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:12,920
Speaker 6: We've got to start with the Bill, and that's Whulshakir.

674
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:14,600
Speaker 7: And you know, you guys, we've.

675
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:18,840
Speaker 6: Been talking about this since preseason, right, that guy, Khalil

676
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 6: Shakir has just been awesome and underrated. He's just a

677
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:25,720
Speaker 6: fantastic player. And he has eight straight games with seven

678
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:28,799
Speaker 6: targets or more. It's clear he is the guy that

679
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 6: Josh trusts the most. Although these days Josh can throw

680
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:34,160
Speaker 6: it's probably me and find his way to three hundred

681
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:36,759
Speaker 6: passing yards any game. Kicking enough of the way that

682
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 6: Josh is playing right now. But Shakir so SETI so solid.

683
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 6: And this Patriots defense, you know, and I'm not going

684
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:45,719
Speaker 6: to tell you the Patriots are great these past couple

685
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:49,719
Speaker 6: of years, but you guys, tell me if this defense

686
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 6: without Bill Belichick scared you nearly as much as that

687
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 6: defense with Bell Belichick did because I'd argue done. So

688
00:36:57,600 --> 00:36:59,719
Speaker 6: I'm not scared of the matchup at all for kalishak

689
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:03,640
Speaker 6: Heir this upcoming weekend. Justin Jefferson is that wide receiver

690
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:05,760
Speaker 6: Brad that you're referring to, the high priced one ninety

691
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:08,279
Speaker 6: one hundred dollars. A good opportunity here against Seattle, the

692
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:11,520
Speaker 6: defense that has been a bit more vulnerable against receivers

693
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:14,320
Speaker 6: this year in fantasy. But ninety one hundred bucks, he

694
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 6: had a lot of money for Jefferson. He's playing a

695
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:19,400
Speaker 6: lot of It's been a lot. He's spent a lot

696
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:21,239
Speaker 6: of targets of late. Remember there was that that that

697
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:24,240
Speaker 6: five or six game stretch whe Jefferson had no touchdowns

698
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 6: and you're thinking of yourself, what's going on with this guy?

699
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:27,799
Speaker 7: He's back, he is back.

700
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 6: Looked great Monday night, had those seven catches, had the

701
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 6: receiving touchdown. Sam Darnold playing well for much of this season,

702
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:37,280
Speaker 6: should be locking on the Justin Jefferson again this upcoming

703
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:40,080
Speaker 6: Sunday in Seattle. And then finally, here is the second

704
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:42,440
Speaker 6: half of that stack. It is Janelen McMillan of the

705
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 6: Tampa Bay Buccaneers he's priced to just fifty eight hundred bucks.

706
00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:49,000
Speaker 6: He's now the wide receiver two in Tampa thirteen targets

707
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,239
Speaker 6: over the past couple of games. He also has three

708
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 6: receiving touchdowns over these past two games. So give me

709
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 6: some Jalen McMillan is my last wide receiver option.

710
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:01,920
Speaker 1: And then of course the flex. You got a raider

711
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:06,120
Speaker 1: the tight end spot, yeah, the tightest spot, and on

712
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 1: the flex spot.

713
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:10,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, So tight end we're going to Brenton Strange. And

714
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:12,480
Speaker 6: you guys know, the Jaguars have been hit hard with

715
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 6: injuries as of a lot of teams during this time

716
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:17,960
Speaker 6: of the year. But Strange last week had eleven catches.

717
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:19,319
Speaker 7: He's been stepping in.

718
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 6: For Evan Ingram, who's now an injured reserve. He's got

719
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:24,320
Speaker 6: a torn labram. He's out for the rest of this season.

720
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 6: But Strange a second round pick on the Penn State

721
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:28,919
Speaker 6: So this is not nothing right. This is a player

722
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:32,200
Speaker 6: who they made a legitimate investment in last year. But

723
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:34,399
Speaker 6: he steps into that starting role. You know, he did

724
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:36,880
Speaker 6: play four games in places at Evan Ingram early on

725
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 6: in the season.

726
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:40,160
Speaker 7: He had just twelve catches in those four games.

727
00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 6: But this offense is very different with Mac Jones at

728
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:45,719
Speaker 6: the control panel as opposed to Trevor Lawrence, much more conservative,

729
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:50,720
Speaker 6: much more sort of centrally located on Brian Thomas Junior

730
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:53,640
Speaker 6: and whoever is left over in this passing game, including

731
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:55,960
Speaker 6: Brenton s Trange. So we'll go there, just fifty two

732
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 6: hundred bucks in a good matchup against the Raiders who

733
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:00,720
Speaker 6: have struggled against the posing tight end this season.

734
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:06,359
Speaker 2: Okay, so then flex is also the Las Vegas Jacksonville game,

735
00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:07,440
Speaker 2: as is your defense.

736
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 6: That's right, So let's go to a mir Abdullah as

737
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:13,560
Speaker 6: the flex option here, guys. And you know when there

738
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:18,480
Speaker 6: was no Zamir White and no Sincere McCormick playing a lot,

739
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 6: it was really the Alexander Madison show previously. But a

740
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:25,760
Speaker 6: mere Dula just keeps taking plays for this Raiders offense.

741
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:28,000
Speaker 6: So I think that Madison will lead them and carries,

742
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:30,799
Speaker 6: but anytime they are either in the third down or

743
00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 6: picking the pace up a bit, don't be surprising to

744
00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 6: mirror Abdullah on the field. So yes, I would just

745
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:40,640
Speaker 6: say generally a decent floor here for a mir Abdullah,

746
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:43,239
Speaker 6: And then you are correct, we are paying down on

747
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:45,279
Speaker 6: defense and just trying to get some skin in the

748
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:47,399
Speaker 6: game in this one. A mirordula, by the way, price

749
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:49,880
Speaker 6: at fifty one hundred bucks, which brings us to our defense.

750
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:52,240
Speaker 6: We've got three thousand, six hundred bucks left to spend,

751
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:54,440
Speaker 6: so we decided to go to the bargain bind and

752
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 6: continue to tap into that game with the Jaguars. D

753
00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:00,600
Speaker 6: you know you guys saw well you yes, I've seen

754
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:02,719
Speaker 6: both of these offenses all season, right, I don't want

755
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:05,359
Speaker 6: of them. Scare you, no, And so what you're trying

756
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 6: to avoid is an opposing offense going off for thirty

757
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 6: plus fantasy points.

758
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:10,200
Speaker 7: So we're doing exactly this.

759
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:12,880
Speaker 6: We're paying down, We're not too concerned about the price,

760
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:15,480
Speaker 6: about the matchup here, and feeling pretty good about the opportunity.

761
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:20,719
Speaker 2: All right, So we got a minute here field Bill's Patriots. Obviously,

762
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:23,799
Speaker 2: fans are concerned about a letdown after facing the top

763
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:26,400
Speaker 2: team in the NFC and getting a nice win on

764
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:31,799
Speaker 2: the road, but division games tend to kind of keep

765
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:35,719
Speaker 2: teams focused in general. I'm thinking this one might you know,

766
00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:38,200
Speaker 2: it might be a little tight early, but the Bill

767
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:40,480
Speaker 2: should pull away here based on what we've seen from

768
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 2: the Patriots.

769
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:44,960
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm not convinced on that one. Brownie.

770
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:45,239
Speaker 3: This one.

771
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 6: This one might be thirty five to three at halftime.

772
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 6: This Patriots team came up of a bye last week

773
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,400
Speaker 6: and went to Arizona, and they looked like they were

774
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:57,360
Speaker 6: ready for the off season. The preparation for this team

775
00:40:57,520 --> 00:41:02,480
Speaker 6: has been consistently unimpressive. I understand the Patriots under Bill

776
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:05,680
Speaker 6: Belichick in the last couple of years regress record wise

777
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:07,960
Speaker 6: last year specifically there were eight and nine a year prior.

778
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:10,920
Speaker 6: But you guys know, generally speaking, they came out ready

779
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:14,320
Speaker 6: generally speaking, right, and they were gonna give you some fits. Defensively,

780
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 6: Josh had to at least think not the same Patriots defense.

781
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:22,240
Speaker 6: The quarterback play is much improved. He's clearly the biggest

782
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:25,120
Speaker 6: reason for hope for the Patriots. But this one has

783
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 6: to me the makings of a Bills team that is

784
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:31,120
Speaker 6: laser focused and just steam rolls, not just this week

785
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:34,360
Speaker 6: but again in Week eighteen when they play in Julette Stadium.

00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:43,359
Speaker 1: Right? Good? All right?

831
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:44,600
Speaker 2: What's gonna end up in your mystery?

832
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:46,359
Speaker 1: What's the question? Well, this week's.

833
00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:49,840
Speaker 2: Winner is Michelle, who asks you the following. Steve is

834
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:53,040
Speaker 2: a former player. Does the strength of the opponent heading

835
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:55,560
Speaker 2: into the playoffs have any impact on how sharp the team?

836
00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:59,080
Speaker 2: How sharp the team is for the playoffs? Bills are

837
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:03,359
Speaker 2: playing really well right now. Could having three week opponents

838
00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:08,600
Speaker 2: down the stretch to the playoffs affect the Bills staying

839
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:09,680
Speaker 2: as sharp as they are?

840
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:14,080
Speaker 1: No, even even down opponents are enough to keep you sharp.

841
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:18,160
Speaker 1: You gotta, I think the only benefit you get out

842
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:20,239
Speaker 1: of having it wrapped up so early. Although the one

843
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:22,640
Speaker 1: seed is still in the in the mix for the Bills,

844
00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:25,799
Speaker 1: they're gonna play as hard as they can, but they're

845
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:29,040
Speaker 1: only gonna do enough. I say, only do enough to win.

846
00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:31,680
Speaker 1: But if the if the Patriots don't show up and

847
00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:33,200
Speaker 1: the Bills are way out in front, you can bet

848
00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:36,719
Speaker 1: they'll start sitting people now on. They're not gonna give

849
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:38,640
Speaker 1: up the game, but they gotta win these games. They

850
00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:42,080
Speaker 1: have to win these games. That's tantamount. And that's what

851
00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:45,840
Speaker 1: they're gonna play like. They're gonna they're gonna do that.

852
00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:48,799
Speaker 1: That in and of itself keeps them sharp because it's

853
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:51,560
Speaker 1: all about preparating that they're gonna be sharp through Monday

854
00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:55,399
Speaker 1: through Saturday, and Sundays will be the evidence that they're

855
00:44:55,440 --> 00:45:00,239
Speaker 1: preparing well. The only the real that's enough to keep

856
00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:04,880
Speaker 1: you sharp. The benefits of having the one seed is

857
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:09,759
Speaker 1: the bye week. If there's no risk that if the

858
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:11,560
Speaker 1: Bills have got the two seed and they can't get

859
00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:13,680
Speaker 1: to the one seed in Week eighteen because the Chiefs

860
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:15,480
Speaker 1: have won out and they are two games ahead and

861
00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:17,759
Speaker 1: the Bills can't catch them, but they can still and

862
00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:21,000
Speaker 1: they're still gonna keep the two seed. You can bet

863
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:23,840
Speaker 1: that you know Mitch Trubisky is gonna get some playing time.

864
00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:28,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean Brownie might be returning kicks, right, So, uh,

865
00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:31,439
Speaker 1: they'll have they'll have practice squad players elevated. They'll they'll

866
00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:33,640
Speaker 1: do a ton of stuff to get some rest for

867
00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:38,080
Speaker 1: as many key players as they can, and they won't

868
00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:40,920
Speaker 1: mind doing that. They'll still feel like they're gonna be sharp.

869
00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:45,520
Speaker 1: So that's really the only inkling I get. Any any

870
00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:47,719
Speaker 1: opponent you play in the NFL is gonna keep you

871
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:50,960
Speaker 1: sharp because they're gonna be going hard and you're gonna

872
00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:52,880
Speaker 1: have to play and the Bills need to win these games.

873
00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:55,879
Speaker 1: So yes, these three week opponents, if you're talking about

874
00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:59,680
Speaker 1: the Patriots, the Jets, the Patriots, yes, the Bills will

875
00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:04,799
Speaker 1: stay very sharp against those opponents in this season. I'm

876
00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:09,600
Speaker 1: hard pressed to think of anybody that wouldn't be that

877
00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:13,279
Speaker 1: for any NFL team, if you're going into a real game,

878
00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:15,359
Speaker 1: you're gonna stay sharp or you're gonna get your head

879
00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:18,400
Speaker 1: handed to you. That's just the that's the level of

880
00:46:18,440 --> 00:46:22,200
Speaker 1: the league they play in. When you have a problem

881
00:46:22,239 --> 00:46:25,440
Speaker 1: with it, and when you start to get unsharp is

882
00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:30,640
Speaker 1: when you have zero to play for, and then it

883
00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:34,600
Speaker 1: starts to spiral down. But yeah, the Bills have plenty

884
00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:39,239
Speaker 1: to play for. The games are important, and whether the

885
00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:41,480
Speaker 1: opponent is who it is or whether it's you know,

886
00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:44,520
Speaker 1: the Lions and the Chiefs and the Niners and the Rams,

887
00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:48,360
Speaker 1: they're they're gonna stay sharp playing those teams. I promise

888
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:50,080
Speaker 1: you they're gonna stay sharp playing those teams.

889
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:53,120
Speaker 2: So that is excuse me, mister tasker. We pivot now

890
00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:57,040
Speaker 2: to the phones where we're asking you what will be

891
00:46:57,320 --> 00:47:02,920
Speaker 2: the key factor in a victory over the Patriots on Sunday.

892
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:05,279
Speaker 2: So to the phones we go, and leading us off

893
00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:08,280
Speaker 2: today is Ryan in Toronto. What do you got fir Us, Ryan,

894
00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:09,760
Speaker 2: Chris Steve?

895
00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:12,600
Speaker 8: You know what, playing on Sunday's game is going to

896
00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:14,880
Speaker 8: be a big one. I think the Bills have to

897
00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:20,200
Speaker 8: win this game. I honestly don't think Casey's gonna lose

898
00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:23,319
Speaker 8: three games or two games that to be honest, and

899
00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:28,040
Speaker 8: it's the way fact Mahomes is playing. And secondly, Patriots

900
00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:30,799
Speaker 8: are playing with house money. They're playing lose. They got

901
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:32,640
Speaker 8: nothing to play for. Bills are everything to play for

902
00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:35,839
Speaker 8: Number one see first of all and Romas eyes last

903
00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:38,960
Speaker 8: season Bill for one and one against the Patriots and

904
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:40,520
Speaker 8: one on one again to get and those are two

905
00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:44,239
Speaker 8: points coming up in the next three. Bills have to

906
00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:46,799
Speaker 8: like they have to make sure that they you.

907
00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:48,920
Speaker 9: Know, I don't know if you blow them out, but

908
00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:50,680
Speaker 9: just to keep it close over and just get the

909
00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:53,239
Speaker 9: double lest because they played they play Packers v K

910
00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:55,879
Speaker 9: if you both, if you go them out to embarrass him,

911
00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:57,920
Speaker 9: they may have that chip of the shot on K

912
00:47:58,080 --> 00:47:59,759
Speaker 9: ten that might decide number one.

913
00:47:59,880 --> 00:48:02,400
Speaker 1: Mud, it's a good point.

914
00:48:03,160 --> 00:48:06,560
Speaker 2: He's not wrong. You're right, But man, Ryan, I don't

915
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:08,760
Speaker 2: know if there's any other caller we have that worries

916
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:11,920
Speaker 2: as much as Ryan does. He's so worried. It's not

917
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:14,480
Speaker 2: even about this game. He's already thinking about Week eighteen.

918
00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:17,920
Speaker 1: He's right, though, You're right. I'll say this though, too, Ryan.

919
00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:22,359
Speaker 1: If it's week eighteen, if you if you stomp him

920
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:25,680
Speaker 1: this week, if you thirty eight to nothing, right, forty

921
00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:29,680
Speaker 1: two to nothing this weekend. When they come back in

922
00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:31,719
Speaker 1: week eighteen, all you got to do is play one

923
00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:36,960
Speaker 1: good quarter, the first one, and they'll be done. You

924
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:38,760
Speaker 1: will absolutely break their.

925
00:48:38,640 --> 00:48:40,920
Speaker 2: Heart and their will.

926
00:48:40,719 --> 00:48:42,600
Speaker 1: And their will, and they will not want to play

927
00:48:42,640 --> 00:48:44,600
Speaker 1: in Week eighteen knowing they have nothing to play for

928
00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:46,880
Speaker 1: except to come out of it healthy and give themselves

929
00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:52,200
Speaker 1: a good offseason. You're right, they in a normal in

930
00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:54,760
Speaker 1: normal football, when you're in the middle of the season,

931
00:48:55,080 --> 00:48:57,239
Speaker 1: you meet him early in the season and you thump them,

932
00:48:57,280 --> 00:48:59,399
Speaker 1: and they come back next time when they and they're

933
00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:01,279
Speaker 1: still in the play off hunt and all that. Yes,

934
00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:03,120
Speaker 1: they got a big chip on the shoulder and this

935
00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:05,759
Speaker 1: one they just want to go home. So I don't

936
00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:06,480
Speaker 1: think that's.

937
00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:08,680
Speaker 2: And apparently they played like that last week coming off

938
00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:09,040
Speaker 2: the bi.

939
00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:12,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, we just heard field Yates say that accused them

940
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:14,920
Speaker 1: of that a little bit, that their preparation did not

941
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:18,479
Speaker 1: look up to snuff last week against Houston. You're right,

942
00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:21,279
Speaker 1: they were one on one against the Jets and the

943
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:26,960
Speaker 1: Patriots bust year. Yeah, last year. And I'll say this too,

944
00:49:27,040 --> 00:49:31,000
Speaker 1: it's very difficult to sweep your division, very difficult. And

945
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:33,200
Speaker 1: that's where the Bills are right now. They're three to zero,

946
00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:40,759
Speaker 1: but the division's already won. I don't know. I have

947
00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:42,880
Speaker 1: a hard time dredging that up. You gotta win. I

948
00:49:42,920 --> 00:49:44,800
Speaker 1: agree with you, though, you got to win this game.

949
00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:50,439
Speaker 1: You have to win this game and the Jets we'll

950
00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:54,120
Speaker 1: see when we get there. But yeah, just just worry

951
00:49:54,120 --> 00:49:57,479
Speaker 1: about this game. Worry about week eighteen later. Worry about

952
00:49:57,480 --> 00:50:00,440
Speaker 1: this game this week. And I think if you do

953
00:50:01,120 --> 00:50:05,759
Speaker 1: crush them, you may get some future benefit from it,

954
00:50:05,920 --> 00:50:08,560
Speaker 1: rather than like in the regulars, like you refer to,

955
00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:12,480
Speaker 1: they may come back angry in two weeks now, not

956
00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:15,200
Speaker 1: in week eighteen for them, not when they're trying to

957
00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:16,320
Speaker 1: get to the end of the season.

958
00:50:16,239 --> 00:50:17,839
Speaker 2: Thinking about where they're flying after you.

959
00:50:17,719 --> 00:50:20,720
Speaker 1: You can say what you want, but by week eighteen

960
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:24,239
Speaker 1: they may not even have the same head coach. So

961
00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:28,760
Speaker 1: there's that to think about as well. I get your theory,

962
00:50:28,840 --> 00:50:32,200
Speaker 1: and it's true, but only earlier in the season and

963
00:50:32,239 --> 00:50:34,239
Speaker 1: when they still have something else to play for.

964
00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:38,560
Speaker 2: Break time for us here, when we come back, our

965
00:50:38,640 --> 00:50:40,319
Speaker 2: number two is going to begin with the Hall of

966
00:50:40,320 --> 00:50:42,840
Speaker 2: Famer Thurman Thomas. He'll be joining us next here on

967
00:50:42,840 --> 00:50:44,640
Speaker 2: one Bill's Live, presented by a Lot of Health. It's

968
00:50:44,640 --> 00:51:16,440
Speaker 2: Buffalo Bill's Radio.

969
00:51:30,360 --> 00:51:35,000
Speaker 1: This the One Bill's Live, presented by Calllida Health.

970
00:51:35,600 --> 00:51:38,360
Speaker 2: All right, our number two Chris Brown, Steve Tasker, and

971
00:51:38,520 --> 00:51:42,480
Speaker 2: the Hall of Famer Therma thomasin studio here on a Thursday,

972
00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:46,080
Speaker 2: Boss from the gallery. That's right, that was the That

973
00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:52,240
Speaker 2: was a golf clap. Yeah. Uh, Bill's offense is on fire.

974
00:51:52,320 --> 00:51:55,200
Speaker 2: I don't need to tell you that, Therm. And uh,

975
00:51:55,360 --> 00:51:57,879
Speaker 2: you must have been beaming with an ear to ear

976
00:51:57,960 --> 00:52:00,960
Speaker 2: smile watching the three running acts along with the two

977
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:04,800
Speaker 2: tight ends pretty much carve up the linebackers and safeties

978
00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:07,759
Speaker 2: in the passing game. And then I mean what this

979
00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:10,400
Speaker 2: team has done in the low red zone running the

980
00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:13,240
Speaker 2: ball and even using misdirection. You know the Shakira touchdown.

981
00:52:13,239 --> 00:52:15,680
Speaker 2: You got Cook going out one way on a fake

982
00:52:15,760 --> 00:52:18,239
Speaker 2: pitch and then he just leaves it for Shakir coming

983
00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:21,640
Speaker 2: the other way, and you got Lions heads spinning around.

984
00:52:21,680 --> 00:52:23,839
Speaker 2: They don't know what's going where and who's up and

985
00:52:23,880 --> 00:52:30,160
Speaker 2: everything reserve too yeah right, I mean they really had

986
00:52:30,239 --> 00:52:33,600
Speaker 2: him looking all sorts of ways, and I mean it

987
00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:35,839
Speaker 2: just looked way too easy all day long. I mean,

988
00:52:35,920 --> 00:52:38,040
Speaker 2: Joe Brady was dialing it up and the players, to

989
00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:39,200
Speaker 2: their credit, were executed.

990
00:52:39,920 --> 00:52:43,600
Speaker 10: Yeah, man, these guys have been put in some great positions.

991
00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:48,840
Speaker 3: They really have. So I know I've been texting Skip

992
00:52:48,920 --> 00:52:51,240
Speaker 3: a lot about it, and you know, he's.

993
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:53,279
Speaker 10: You know, he's, hey, these guys. These guys know what

994
00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:55,640
Speaker 10: they're doing. They know what they're doing. They like to

995
00:52:55,640 --> 00:52:57,800
Speaker 10: be they need they know that they need to be

996
00:52:57,840 --> 00:52:59,800
Speaker 10: at the right place at the right time. And I

997
00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:03,520
Speaker 10: think with all three of them, man, it's a perfect

998
00:53:03,560 --> 00:53:04,719
Speaker 10: three headed muster here.

999
00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:04,920
Speaker 1: Man.

1000
00:53:05,880 --> 00:53:11,640
Speaker 10: But after like this game, they definitely the best duel

1001
00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:14,400
Speaker 10: back in the league. These guys, all three of the

1002
00:53:14,480 --> 00:53:16,960
Speaker 10: guy what I'm talking about, all three and not Montgomery

1003
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:20,759
Speaker 10: because he's out now, Gibbs, but these guys here, they

1004
00:53:21,640 --> 00:53:23,319
Speaker 10: took over from them from Detroit and.

1005
00:53:23,520 --> 00:53:25,560
Speaker 1: Down on a place where you can have the conversation

1006
00:53:25,600 --> 00:53:29,960
Speaker 1: about Detroit because they didn't to Detroit. Yeah. That it's

1007
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:33,080
Speaker 1: been interesting too that this offense. I thought for the

1008
00:53:33,120 --> 00:53:35,719
Speaker 1: first well maybe one of the times that when Joe

1009
00:53:35,719 --> 00:53:38,879
Speaker 1: Brady's calling those playss like we were out ahead of it. Yeah,

1010
00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:43,400
Speaker 1: didn't take a it didn't take a superlative place somebody

1011
00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:47,040
Speaker 1: breaking six tackles, or didn't take Josh making some superhuman play,

1012
00:53:47,040 --> 00:53:50,000
Speaker 1: putting a cape on out running the pursuit. They had him.

1013
00:53:50,320 --> 00:53:52,839
Speaker 1: I mean, they schemed these guys running open all over

1014
00:53:52,880 --> 00:53:55,360
Speaker 1: the field and Josh was hitting them. I thought that

1015
00:53:55,560 --> 00:53:58,200
Speaker 1: the over the top plays by Josh, the touch passes

1016
00:53:58,680 --> 00:54:00,600
Speaker 1: were something we haven't seen too much. I just thought

1017
00:54:00,719 --> 00:54:02,080
Speaker 1: Joe Brady really showed up.

1018
00:54:02,360 --> 00:54:04,880
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean I thought that was I mean, that

1019
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:07,680
Speaker 10: was his best game as far as throwing.

1020
00:54:07,400 --> 00:54:07,919
Speaker 3: The deep ball.

1021
00:54:08,480 --> 00:54:11,520
Speaker 10: Yeah, over the year, this whole year, I think this

1022
00:54:11,680 --> 00:54:12,479
Speaker 10: was his best game.

1023
00:54:12,560 --> 00:54:15,000
Speaker 3: And then you know, you see the one the knocks

1024
00:54:15,080 --> 00:54:15,719
Speaker 3: where you kind of.

1025
00:54:15,680 --> 00:54:18,399
Speaker 10: Overthrow it a little bit, so I think, yeah, tip

1026
00:54:18,520 --> 00:54:20,840
Speaker 10: in to himself, But this is the best game that

1027
00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:25,000
Speaker 10: I think Josh has played when trying to hit the perceiver.

1028
00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:28,000
Speaker 3: And I'm just you know, And another.

1029
00:54:27,719 --> 00:54:31,200
Speaker 10: Part with this, too, man, is that he's so dangerous

1030
00:54:31,400 --> 00:54:35,560
Speaker 10: that he allows Joe Brady allows him to do just

1031
00:54:35,640 --> 00:54:36,360
Speaker 10: about anything.

1032
00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:38,920
Speaker 3: Because that offensive line is doing one ele.

1033
00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:39,239
Speaker 1: Of a job.

1034
00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:42,840
Speaker 3: They're past blocking, they're run blocking.

1035
00:54:43,400 --> 00:54:46,520
Speaker 10: I guarantee before the season is over with or maybe

1036
00:54:46,520 --> 00:54:49,319
Speaker 10: in the playoffs, offense linem gonna catch Strutch down.

1037
00:54:50,480 --> 00:54:53,200
Speaker 2: But Eric Wood on the broadcast with me was talking

1038
00:54:53,239 --> 00:54:55,759
Speaker 2: about this too. You know, back when you guys were

1039
00:54:55,800 --> 00:54:59,120
Speaker 2: playing you'd have a guard pull to the other side

1040
00:54:59,280 --> 00:55:02,719
Speaker 2: or a center. These guys have tackles pull all the

1041
00:55:02,719 --> 00:55:05,880
Speaker 2: way across to the other side on these pinning pull schemes.

1042
00:55:06,239 --> 00:55:09,160
Speaker 2: I mean, just talk about the athleticism you need in

1043
00:55:09,160 --> 00:55:11,799
Speaker 2: a tackle to be able to execute a play like that.

1044
00:55:12,160 --> 00:55:13,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's amazing.

1045
00:55:13,920 --> 00:55:16,960
Speaker 10: I mean we had guys back when we were like,

1046
00:55:17,040 --> 00:55:19,560
Speaker 10: we ran a counter a lot, you know, Big Howard

1047
00:55:19,600 --> 00:55:20,280
Speaker 10: coming around.

1048
00:55:20,120 --> 00:55:21,360
Speaker 3: He's three sixty or whatever.

1049
00:55:21,520 --> 00:55:24,239
Speaker 10: So yeah, but having guys do all this, I'm like,

1050
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:26,160
Speaker 10: I think you can see it on the quarterback sneak

1051
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:29,839
Speaker 10: where somehow Dion Dawkins ended up on.

1052
00:55:29,800 --> 00:55:32,840
Speaker 3: The right side of the ball. Yeah, where was that

1053
00:55:33,040 --> 00:55:33,640
Speaker 3: coming from?

1054
00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:35,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean they were doing that a lot last year.

1055
00:55:35,960 --> 00:55:37,839
Speaker 2: I mean they did that all day against Dallas if

1056
00:55:37,840 --> 00:55:41,040
Speaker 2: you remember, yeah, in the uh in the primetime game

1057
00:55:41,120 --> 00:55:41,600
Speaker 2: last year.

1058
00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:44,400
Speaker 10: And this is incredible what they're doing too, because you know,

1059
00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:48,120
Speaker 10: you're you're usually facing off to your guy and now

1060
00:55:48,160 --> 00:55:50,759
Speaker 10: you're coming over and blocking somebody else and and they've

1061
00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:53,640
Speaker 10: been all like a plus right there, Yeah, because there

1062
00:55:53,640 --> 00:55:56,600
Speaker 10: hasn't been anything back there for jobs to be like,

1063
00:55:56,920 --> 00:55:58,080
Speaker 10: oh I gotta scramble now.

1064
00:55:58,200 --> 00:56:00,840
Speaker 2: Yeah. But even on Cooks for one yard run for

1065
00:56:00,880 --> 00:56:04,040
Speaker 2: the touchdown. Spencer Brown comes from the right side, comes

1066
00:56:04,080 --> 00:56:06,800
Speaker 2: out outside the tight end and he's got the kickout block,

1067
00:56:07,400 --> 00:56:10,799
Speaker 2: like that's a long way to go and.

1068
00:56:10,719 --> 00:56:12,960
Speaker 10: He gets to kick out block and everybody is just

1069
00:56:13,160 --> 00:56:14,439
Speaker 10: they just took everybody down.

1070
00:56:14,480 --> 00:56:15,080
Speaker 3: I mean, look at it.

1071
00:56:15,480 --> 00:56:19,520
Speaker 2: That's I mean, he's coming all the way. There's not

1072
00:56:19,560 --> 00:56:20,880
Speaker 2: a lot of tackles that can do that.

1073
00:56:21,080 --> 00:56:25,319
Speaker 10: No, No, I I think really with with this what

1074
00:56:25,360 --> 00:56:26,480
Speaker 10: we're seeing now.

1075
00:56:26,960 --> 00:56:29,200
Speaker 3: You know, they can do just about anything. Yeah, they

1076
00:56:29,200 --> 00:56:29,640
Speaker 3: can really.

1077
00:56:29,640 --> 00:56:32,400
Speaker 10: I mean there's that defense has to be like, well,

1078
00:56:32,400 --> 00:56:34,279
Speaker 10: I don't know if is he gonna pull or is

1079
00:56:34,320 --> 00:56:35,120
Speaker 10: somebody coming to me?

1080
00:56:35,360 --> 00:56:38,399
Speaker 2: And you got nine different guys catching passes like who

1081
00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:38,920
Speaker 2: do you key on?

1082
00:56:39,080 --> 00:56:39,239
Speaker 5: Yeah?

1083
00:56:39,280 --> 00:56:45,160
Speaker 1: They It's really been the best case scenario as to

1084
00:56:45,200 --> 00:56:47,040
Speaker 1: the answer to all the questions we had at the

1085
00:56:47,080 --> 00:56:49,919
Speaker 1: beginning of the season. Is Connor McGovern gonna be better

1086
00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:52,480
Speaker 1: down inside? You know? Is David Edward's gonna be okay

1087
00:56:52,520 --> 00:56:55,279
Speaker 1: coming in at guard? Is is Connor McGovern up to it?

1088
00:56:55,360 --> 00:56:57,080
Speaker 1: And then the tackles, can they stay healthy? Can they

1089
00:56:57,080 --> 00:56:58,759
Speaker 1: stay on the field? Are they gonna stay healthy like

1090
00:56:58,800 --> 00:57:01,080
Speaker 1: we did last year? What about you know, then they

1091
00:57:01,080 --> 00:57:03,719
Speaker 1: had Tyland Grabile come in and win the swing tackle job.

1092
00:57:03,760 --> 00:57:06,520
Speaker 1: Now he's back in the lineup after losing the entire season.

1093
00:57:06,520 --> 00:57:09,880
Speaker 1: Almost all those were and then can all the guys

1094
00:57:09,920 --> 00:57:12,759
Speaker 1: on the outside are they going to be better by committee?

1095
00:57:12,760 --> 00:57:15,279
Speaker 1: Are they going to be better with you know, Shakir,

1096
00:57:16,160 --> 00:57:22,720
Speaker 1: you know Sanders or Samuel? You know who's this mac

1097
00:57:22,720 --> 00:57:25,840
Speaker 1: Hollins guy, right, we didn't even know him. So I

1098
00:57:25,880 --> 00:57:29,560
Speaker 1: think all the questions, all the question marks the Bills

1099
00:57:30,440 --> 00:57:34,160
Speaker 1: fans had about this roster coming in the season, it's

1100
00:57:34,200 --> 00:57:37,200
Speaker 1: it's kind of been the best case scenario for all

1101
00:57:37,240 --> 00:57:38,320
Speaker 1: of them, for all.

1102
00:57:38,160 --> 00:57:44,400
Speaker 10: Of and now fans are like, let's go. We got it,

1103
00:57:44,400 --> 00:57:45,920
Speaker 10: we got we got a team.

1104
00:57:46,040 --> 00:57:46,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're a wagon.

1105
00:57:46,960 --> 00:57:49,240
Speaker 3: We have a team. I mean, I don't know where

1106
00:57:49,240 --> 00:57:51,320
Speaker 3: there are points are.

1107
00:57:51,360 --> 00:57:53,640
Speaker 10: As far as like I think our best was like

1108
00:57:53,720 --> 00:57:58,040
Speaker 10: ninety one, but after the ninety season. Yeah, And so

1109
00:57:58,240 --> 00:58:01,360
Speaker 10: I mean this team, I mean they were I mean, sure,

1110
00:58:01,400 --> 00:58:03,760
Speaker 10: I don't want I don't want to defense give up

1111
00:58:03,800 --> 00:58:04,400
Speaker 10: thirty points.

1112
00:58:04,400 --> 00:58:06,800
Speaker 3: But if that's the case, let's.

1113
00:58:06,600 --> 00:58:09,720
Speaker 1: Go all four. And yeah, I think they did. They

1114
00:58:09,760 --> 00:58:12,040
Speaker 1: went from single high to too high over the second

1115
00:58:12,120 --> 00:58:14,000
Speaker 1: half of the game when they're up seventeen, So that

1116
00:58:14,120 --> 00:58:18,720
Speaker 1: changed side and they made some hay offensively. And I

1117
00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:21,880
Speaker 1: said this earlier in the week, the sixty one yard

1118
00:58:21,920 --> 00:58:24,400
Speaker 1: er to Amnross Saint Brown where it went through the

1119
00:58:24,520 --> 00:58:27,760
Speaker 1: hands of Bernard where he had got deep on the

1120
00:58:27,800 --> 00:58:29,960
Speaker 1: cross ground and he snapped it off for a big touchdown.

1121
00:58:30,040 --> 00:58:33,160
Speaker 1: That was the one play that really changed things for

1122
00:58:33,200 --> 00:58:35,360
Speaker 1: the entire second half and gave the Lions, Hey, they're

1123
00:58:35,400 --> 00:58:37,440
Speaker 1: gonna get back in this. And because now they got

1124
00:58:37,480 --> 00:58:40,320
Speaker 1: a chance because they scored so quick that you take

1125
00:58:40,360 --> 00:58:42,320
Speaker 1: that play out of it, make them go the long way.

1126
00:58:42,400 --> 00:58:45,120
Speaker 1: You look up and they get close to ten, and

1127
00:58:45,160 --> 00:58:47,920
Speaker 1: then the Bills go down score again. It's like they

1128
00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:50,439
Speaker 1: can't get there. Yeah, they can't get there. And even

1129
00:58:50,480 --> 00:58:52,280
Speaker 1: so even with that, with that play, they had to

1130
00:58:52,480 --> 00:58:55,080
Speaker 1: get two on side try two onside kicks.

1131
00:58:55,160 --> 00:58:58,200
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think even with that game at the beginning

1132
00:58:58,240 --> 00:59:02,600
Speaker 10: of the game, going back here, you know, we read

1133
00:59:02,640 --> 00:59:05,640
Speaker 10: a lot of stuff about Ed Oliver. Oh yeah, I

1134
00:59:05,720 --> 00:59:10,080
Speaker 10: mean the first couple of players, I mean, whoever was

1135
00:59:10,080 --> 00:59:13,600
Speaker 10: the guard they were in trouble. And I knew at

1136
00:59:13,600 --> 00:59:16,760
Speaker 10: that time the first couple of like series because they

1137
00:59:16,800 --> 00:59:19,040
Speaker 10: went one, two three out, one two, three and out

1138
00:59:19,920 --> 00:59:22,439
Speaker 10: ed was the guy that was curating having I said,

1139
00:59:23,240 --> 00:59:26,680
Speaker 10: it don't matter, they've already set the tone already, how

1140
00:59:26,720 --> 00:59:27,960
Speaker 10: it's gonna be all day.

1141
00:59:28,040 --> 00:59:29,920
Speaker 3: Sure, but you give up thirty eight points or whatever.

1142
00:59:30,040 --> 00:59:31,920
Speaker 10: But they set the tone the first couple of series

1143
00:59:32,480 --> 00:59:34,960
Speaker 10: three and out and ever tell you a big ninety

1144
00:59:34,960 --> 00:59:38,320
Speaker 10: one he was. He heard the talk because there were

1145
00:59:38,360 --> 00:59:40,320
Speaker 10: a lot of people that were talking about I saw it,

1146
00:59:40,400 --> 00:59:44,080
Speaker 10: and I'm sure everybody else. Somebody probably told him about it.

1147
00:59:44,360 --> 00:59:47,800
Speaker 10: So it's a perfect time to pick it up. Because

1148
00:59:48,280 --> 00:59:51,320
Speaker 10: I was like, Detroit, they ain't gonna get nothing all day.

1149
00:59:51,800 --> 00:59:53,640
Speaker 10: It was that type of game that they were gonna

1150
00:59:53,640 --> 00:59:54,200
Speaker 10: have on the ground.

1151
00:59:54,760 --> 00:59:57,680
Speaker 2: A coach mcthurban on Monday after the game said to

1152
00:59:57,720 --> 00:59:59,920
Speaker 2: the media and his press conversation, anytime you guys want

1153
01:00:01,200 --> 01:00:04,439
Speaker 2: stir things up about it again, feel free, totally fine

1154
01:00:04,440 --> 01:00:08,480
Speaker 2: with it as much as you want. Concerning point totals

1155
01:00:08,520 --> 01:00:11,200
Speaker 2: in seasons, guys, your ninety one team is third all

1156
01:00:11,320 --> 01:00:14,400
Speaker 2: time for Bill's points in a season with four hundred

1157
01:00:14,400 --> 01:00:17,320
Speaker 2: and fifty eight. The twenty twenty one team scored for

1158
01:00:17,440 --> 01:00:21,000
Speaker 2: eighty three that was in seventeen games, and then the

1159
01:00:21,080 --> 01:00:24,280
Speaker 2: all time highest scoring season was the twenty twenty team.

1160
01:00:24,520 --> 01:00:27,640
Speaker 2: Last team to play sixteen regular season games five hundred

1161
01:00:27,720 --> 01:00:31,440
Speaker 2: one points. So the team right now has four hundred

1162
01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:33,760
Speaker 2: and forty five with three games to play. I think

1163
01:00:33,760 --> 01:00:35,840
Speaker 2: that's in striking distance. You have a couple of thirty

1164
01:00:35,880 --> 01:00:39,520
Speaker 2: point games. You're right there, I think you do. You're

1165
01:00:39,560 --> 01:00:40,000
Speaker 2: right there.

1166
01:00:40,200 --> 01:00:43,760
Speaker 10: Yeah, but you know what, but really, I mean, I

1167
01:00:43,840 --> 01:00:46,560
Speaker 10: know New England hasn't been good in a while, but

1168
01:00:46,560 --> 01:00:49,920
Speaker 10: it's still they still scared me. They do they I mean,

1169
01:00:49,920 --> 01:00:51,960
Speaker 10: they still just New England. You know, I know they're

1170
01:00:52,000 --> 01:00:54,840
Speaker 10: not coming in with Belichick or whatever, but you know

1171
01:00:54,920 --> 01:00:58,240
Speaker 10: that they're the hardest game that they're going to try

1172
01:00:59,360 --> 01:01:02,520
Speaker 10: to do is to prevent Josh from getting outside.

1173
01:01:02,440 --> 01:01:03,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what.

1174
01:01:03,360 --> 01:01:06,000
Speaker 3: They're gonna mean, that's how it's supposed to go.

1175
01:01:06,320 --> 01:01:09,200
Speaker 10: I mean, he's beating every team on the outside, and

1176
01:01:09,240 --> 01:01:11,280
Speaker 10: they you know what, it might work great for the

1177
01:01:11,280 --> 01:01:15,000
Speaker 10: first quarter, but I think after that everything breaks down.

1178
01:01:15,120 --> 01:01:17,800
Speaker 3: But they're gonna see a different type of and they

1179
01:01:17,880 --> 01:01:19,040
Speaker 3: just don't have the teams.

1180
01:01:19,320 --> 01:01:22,560
Speaker 1: The talent Josh has just in this group in particular,

1181
01:01:23,000 --> 01:01:28,240
Speaker 1: has demonstrated enough that they can. They have so many

1182
01:01:28,280 --> 01:01:30,600
Speaker 1: different ways to be Yes, Josh all beats everybody if

1183
01:01:30,600 --> 01:01:34,720
Speaker 1: he gets outside, but he can beat a lot of teams.

1184
01:01:34,760 --> 01:01:37,160
Speaker 1: Stand right in the pocket. He cans beat a lot

1185
01:01:37,160 --> 01:01:40,040
Speaker 1: of teams just handing it off, you know, he can.

1186
01:01:40,120 --> 01:01:42,960
Speaker 1: They can win that way too, and I think they will.

1187
01:01:43,000 --> 01:01:46,640
Speaker 1: I think also this is the defense that will be

1188
01:01:47,040 --> 01:01:49,560
Speaker 1: depending on the health of the secondary. But if those

1189
01:01:49,560 --> 01:01:51,240
Speaker 1: guys get back on the field, or two of them

1190
01:01:51,240 --> 01:01:52,840
Speaker 1: get back, two of the three that are out get

1191
01:01:52,880 --> 01:01:56,080
Speaker 1: back on the field, they'll start making plays again. And

1192
01:01:56,520 --> 01:01:59,080
Speaker 1: you know, the defense didn't have a turnover at all

1193
01:01:59,120 --> 01:02:02,080
Speaker 1: against la They got one really good one almost two

1194
01:02:02,520 --> 01:02:05,040
Speaker 1: against Detroit. I think that that's where they're going to

1195
01:02:05,080 --> 01:02:09,600
Speaker 1: get back to as well defensively. If they do, then

1196
01:02:09,800 --> 01:02:11,840
Speaker 1: you know, there's there's no you know, there's nobody gonna

1197
01:02:11,840 --> 01:02:13,160
Speaker 1: beat them, let alone the Patriots.

1198
01:02:13,200 --> 01:02:15,640
Speaker 10: Yeah, you know what, And this is I guess this

1199
01:02:15,840 --> 01:02:18,240
Speaker 10: could be a great week or good week for the

1200
01:02:18,280 --> 01:02:20,360
Speaker 10: defense to get back on schedule, you know, to hold

1201
01:02:20,360 --> 01:02:23,400
Speaker 10: somebody to thirteen points or fourteen points or whatever. I

1202
01:02:23,440 --> 01:02:25,560
Speaker 10: think they need that after the last couple of weeks

1203
01:02:25,560 --> 01:02:26,880
Speaker 10: of giving up what.

1204
01:02:27,160 --> 01:02:30,200
Speaker 1: Forty two and forty two and forty eight.

1205
01:02:30,120 --> 01:02:32,640
Speaker 3: Forty two and forty eight. Yeah, So I think this

1206
01:02:32,680 --> 01:02:32,920
Speaker 3: is a.

1207
01:02:32,880 --> 01:02:35,160
Speaker 1: Game where forty four and forty two.

1208
01:02:35,240 --> 01:02:37,400
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think this is a game that can that

1209
01:02:37,480 --> 01:02:39,840
Speaker 10: can really help them if they keep these guys you

1210
01:02:39,880 --> 01:02:42,640
Speaker 10: know below thirteen, below twenty points or something like that,

1211
01:02:42,720 --> 01:02:45,360
Speaker 10: really really make it make it hard for Drake.

1212
01:02:45,600 --> 01:02:47,680
Speaker 2: We had we had a lot of people calling us

1213
01:02:47,680 --> 01:02:49,720
Speaker 2: early in the week saying they're worried about the defense

1214
01:02:49,720 --> 01:02:51,600
Speaker 2: with all the points they've given up. And Steve and

1215
01:02:51,640 --> 01:02:54,400
Speaker 2: I were trying to explain last week's game in the

1216
01:02:54,480 --> 01:02:58,080
Speaker 2: Rams game were not the same thing. I mean, you're

1217
01:02:58,080 --> 01:02:59,760
Speaker 2: at the end of the third quarter, you've given up

1218
01:02:59,800 --> 01:03:02,640
Speaker 2: four teen points to the Lions. That was not how

1219
01:03:02,680 --> 01:03:06,800
Speaker 2: the Rams game went. And I, Steve and I were

1220
01:03:06,880 --> 01:03:10,160
Speaker 2: kind of saying, I would argue, the fourth quarter, the

1221
01:03:10,240 --> 01:03:13,560
Speaker 2: game's already in hand and for all intents and purposes won,

1222
01:03:14,480 --> 01:03:17,040
Speaker 2: and the defense is giving up yards on the field

1223
01:03:17,080 --> 01:03:20,200
Speaker 2: in exchange for time on the clock. They were not

1224
01:03:20,320 --> 01:03:22,200
Speaker 2: playing that way against the Rams. They were trying to

1225
01:03:22,200 --> 01:03:25,480
Speaker 2: climb back into the game. It was totally different. The

1226
01:03:25,480 --> 01:03:28,480
Speaker 2: forty two points that the Lions scored compared to the

1227
01:03:28,520 --> 01:03:31,120
Speaker 2: forty four points that the Rams scored the week before.

1228
01:03:31,160 --> 01:03:34,400
Speaker 2: Would you agree like the defense the way they played

1229
01:03:34,480 --> 01:03:37,760
Speaker 2: that game was different. I think this game against the line.

1230
01:03:37,760 --> 01:03:39,960
Speaker 10: I totally agree with that. Yeah, I totally agree with

1231
01:03:40,000 --> 01:03:41,960
Speaker 10: your point that they did. Yeah, it was it was

1232
01:03:42,600 --> 01:03:44,840
Speaker 10: night and day of how the game was played.

1233
01:03:44,960 --> 01:03:46,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I totally agree with that point.

1234
01:03:46,400 --> 01:03:50,240
Speaker 2: And the defensive line really kind of, to your point,

1235
01:03:50,280 --> 01:03:52,200
Speaker 2: set the tone and kind of dominated the line of

1236
01:03:52,200 --> 01:03:56,200
Speaker 2: scrimmage against the Good Lions offensive line. I mean, Frank

1237
01:03:56,280 --> 01:04:00,160
Speaker 2: Ragnow was pancaked, but like there was one play I

1238
01:04:00,160 --> 01:04:02,640
Speaker 2: think it was a third downplay and Goth wanted to

1239
01:04:02,640 --> 01:04:04,560
Speaker 2: step up in the pocket. The problem was his center

1240
01:04:04,640 --> 01:04:06,680
Speaker 2: was on his back and in his lap. He had

1241
01:04:06,680 --> 01:04:07,080
Speaker 2: nowhere to.

1242
01:04:07,040 --> 01:04:11,160
Speaker 1: Step up the crawling at his feet and Ragnow was

1243
01:04:11,200 --> 01:04:14,720
Speaker 1: like looking over his shoulder and rag Now is a

1244
01:04:14,720 --> 01:04:18,040
Speaker 1: good center. Rag Now. They said it. I mean they

1245
01:04:18,040 --> 01:04:20,120
Speaker 1: said it on the broadcast. Rag Noow was considered one

1246
01:04:20,120 --> 01:04:23,120
Speaker 1: of the best centers in the league and and head

1247
01:04:23,720 --> 01:04:26,360
Speaker 1: steam rolled it. Now, he didn't do that the entire game,

1248
01:04:26,360 --> 01:04:29,040
Speaker 1: but he caught him on that play, but took advantage

1249
01:04:29,080 --> 01:04:32,400
Speaker 1: of it and turned into a sack. And that the

1250
01:04:32,760 --> 01:04:36,160
Speaker 1: play of the defensive front. And you can't I don't

1251
01:04:36,160 --> 01:04:38,040
Speaker 1: want to overstate it or anything, but but on a

1252
01:04:38,080 --> 01:04:40,080
Speaker 1: game when they really needed him. Those guys showed up.

1253
01:04:40,160 --> 01:04:42,320
Speaker 1: It's like they knew they had to do it. Ed

1254
01:04:42,400 --> 01:04:46,960
Speaker 1: in particular, to our point, was really really good in

1255
01:04:47,040 --> 01:04:52,120
Speaker 1: this game. And that's they had. They had three secondary

1256
01:04:52,160 --> 01:04:54,680
Speaker 1: starters out of the game. You knew it was going

1257
01:04:54,760 --> 01:04:56,040
Speaker 1: to be a struggle. You knew they were going to

1258
01:04:56,120 --> 01:04:58,000
Speaker 1: miss some a couple of things at least some things

1259
01:04:58,040 --> 01:05:01,560
Speaker 1: were gonna slip through the cracks, right and uh so

1260
01:05:01,680 --> 01:05:04,320
Speaker 1: the front had to be good and they were.

1261
01:05:03,680 --> 01:05:04,919
Speaker 3: They were good.

1262
01:05:05,000 --> 01:05:08,840
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean you saw, like I mean, Taron Johnson,

1263
01:05:08,880 --> 01:05:11,000
Speaker 10: I mean he was back. I mean I mean trying

1264
01:05:11,040 --> 01:05:13,959
Speaker 10: to cover Coop and the guy in the round.

1265
01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:16,919
Speaker 3: That's a tough day. That was a very tough day

1266
01:05:17,560 --> 01:05:19,200
Speaker 3: for everybody that was in the secondary.

1267
01:05:19,520 --> 01:05:22,240
Speaker 10: And you know what, but these guys set in the

1268
01:05:22,280 --> 01:05:25,280
Speaker 10: tone and uh looking forward them to do the same

1269
01:05:25,320 --> 01:05:26,360
Speaker 10: thing come against the Patriots.

1270
01:05:26,360 --> 01:05:28,000
Speaker 1: What do you remember about the years when you were

1271
01:05:28,040 --> 01:05:30,280
Speaker 1: playing and this team was the team was rolling offensively,

1272
01:05:30,280 --> 01:05:34,280
Speaker 1: you got you're shooting for the one seed you got.

1273
01:05:34,400 --> 01:05:37,680
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's wrapped up early, sometimes it's not. Sometimes you

1274
01:05:37,680 --> 01:05:39,640
Speaker 1: got to push to the end of the season. Sometimes,

1275
01:05:39,680 --> 01:05:41,200
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes you gotta have to go on the road.

1276
01:05:41,200 --> 01:05:43,280
Speaker 1: In the playoffs. What do you remember about how to

1277
01:05:43,560 --> 01:05:45,800
Speaker 1: how they you know, handled that and how you felt

1278
01:05:45,800 --> 01:05:48,240
Speaker 1: you I mean you took a pounding during the regular season,

1279
01:05:48,720 --> 01:05:50,160
Speaker 1: you know. Tell me about the end of the season

1280
01:05:50,160 --> 01:05:53,640
Speaker 1: and how you liked to be handled by Marv and

1281
01:05:53,640 --> 01:05:54,520
Speaker 1: your coaching staff.

1282
01:05:54,560 --> 01:05:54,720
Speaker 3: Oh.

1283
01:05:54,760 --> 01:05:58,120
Speaker 10: Absolutely, I mean it was I mean they had best

1284
01:05:58,120 --> 01:05:59,720
Speaker 10: coach in the world, Elijah Pitts.

1285
01:05:59,760 --> 01:06:02,000
Speaker 3: And and I believe whatever he said.

1286
01:06:02,080 --> 01:06:05,960
Speaker 10: If there was some day, take every hand off this

1287
01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:07,680
Speaker 10: week something, Yeah, nope.

1288
01:06:07,640 --> 01:06:10,120
Speaker 3: He'll tell me Monday. Hey, we're going to rest you.

1289
01:06:10,480 --> 01:06:12,680
Speaker 10: But I still want you to go through the process

1290
01:06:12,760 --> 01:06:16,160
Speaker 10: of knowing that you're not going to play as much.

1291
01:06:16,240 --> 01:06:18,240
Speaker 10: But I still want you to go through the process

1292
01:06:18,280 --> 01:06:20,520
Speaker 10: and be ready whatever. And like he told me that,

1293
01:06:20,560 --> 01:06:22,920
Speaker 10: Like the one game that I wanted to play against

1294
01:06:23,040 --> 01:06:25,600
Speaker 10: was at the end of the season. I was going

1295
01:06:25,600 --> 01:06:30,640
Speaker 10: against my ex college teammate, roommate, running back Barry Sanders,

1296
01:06:30,760 --> 01:06:31,880
Speaker 10: and I didn't play.

1297
01:06:32,040 --> 01:06:35,080
Speaker 3: I mean I remember that, and and but they won

1298
01:06:35,160 --> 01:06:35,360
Speaker 3: the game.

1299
01:06:35,840 --> 01:06:39,479
Speaker 10: They won the game in ot and I was like, man,

1300
01:06:39,600 --> 01:06:42,280
Speaker 10: the perfect time, like not the perfect time to sit

1301
01:06:42,360 --> 01:06:45,320
Speaker 10: me right now, because I just wanted yeah, yeah, we

1302
01:06:45,800 --> 01:06:47,440
Speaker 10: even though we were two years at Oklahoma stay. I

1303
01:06:47,480 --> 01:06:49,640
Speaker 10: actually played against him, like, and we were going for

1304
01:06:49,680 --> 01:06:53,000
Speaker 10: the Russian title and he was out of the window

1305
01:06:53,080 --> 01:06:55,400
Speaker 10: Monday morning when Eli told me, you're not going to play,

1306
01:06:55,440 --> 01:06:59,240
Speaker 10: but go through, do do your regular things. And that

1307
01:06:59,480 --> 01:07:04,640
Speaker 10: day and you know, if anybody knew, like, we didn't

1308
01:07:04,640 --> 01:07:06,800
Speaker 10: really tell anybody, just kind of kept it a secret,

1309
01:07:06,840 --> 01:07:09,520
Speaker 10: and you're supposed to keep it a secret if you

1310
01:07:09,560 --> 01:07:11,360
Speaker 10: would have looked at that game and go back.

1311
01:07:11,720 --> 01:07:13,960
Speaker 3: I didn't wear my Bracet game because I knew I

1312
01:07:14,080 --> 01:07:17,200
Speaker 3: wasn't playing. I was going through Walmart brace. Yeah.

1313
01:07:17,240 --> 01:07:19,360
Speaker 10: My knee breaks, yeah, but I wore all the week,

1314
01:07:19,440 --> 01:07:21,640
Speaker 10: but game day I didn't have my knee breaks because

1315
01:07:21,640 --> 01:07:22,680
Speaker 10: I knew I wasn't gonna play.

1316
01:07:22,960 --> 01:07:25,600
Speaker 3: So yeah, just a little.

1317
01:07:26,440 --> 01:07:26,760
Speaker 1: Uh.

1318
01:07:26,800 --> 01:07:31,360
Speaker 2: There's some NFL news coming down from the Jets. Nope,

1319
01:07:32,040 --> 01:07:36,040
Speaker 2: much to our They're always weird.

1320
01:07:36,360 --> 01:07:36,760
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1321
01:07:37,040 --> 01:07:38,400
Speaker 2: Madden ratings, Yeah yeah.

1322
01:07:39,040 --> 01:07:39,560
Speaker 1: Uh.

1323
01:07:40,280 --> 01:07:43,320
Speaker 2: Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who's got the ankle injury, is

1324
01:07:43,400 --> 01:07:46,360
Speaker 2: expected to play on Saturday against the Texans. So I

1325
01:07:46,400 --> 01:07:49,200
Speaker 2: don't think anybody's surprised by that. It was deemed a

1326
01:07:49,240 --> 01:07:52,160
Speaker 2: mild mild high ankle sprain, and he even said in

1327
01:07:52,200 --> 01:07:53,960
Speaker 2: his press conference it's not as bad as the one

1328
01:07:53,960 --> 01:07:56,760
Speaker 2: he had two years ago, so he will play on Saturday.

1329
01:07:57,200 --> 01:07:59,720
Speaker 2: I think the key though, therm is knowing they play

1330
01:07:59,840 --> 01:08:03,080
Speaker 2: on Christmas Day four days later. He's got to hope

1331
01:08:03,080 --> 01:08:05,600
Speaker 2: he doesn't aggravate it in the course of the game

1332
01:08:05,640 --> 01:08:07,560
Speaker 2: because he's gonna have even less time to get ready

1333
01:08:07,560 --> 01:08:08,200
Speaker 2: for the next game.

1334
01:08:08,840 --> 01:08:10,040
Speaker 3: And then playing the Texans.

1335
01:08:10,440 --> 01:08:13,360
Speaker 2: Play the Texans on Saturday, they got Will Anderson.

1336
01:08:12,920 --> 01:08:16,000
Speaker 3: And exactly, he's not gonna be sitting back.

1337
01:08:16,040 --> 01:08:17,400
Speaker 2: He's got two lousy tackles.

1338
01:08:17,720 --> 01:08:20,639
Speaker 1: And then they've got the Pittsburgh Steelers on Christmas.

1339
01:08:23,000 --> 01:08:23,240
Speaker 7: T J.

1340
01:08:23,400 --> 01:08:28,680
Speaker 2: Watt and Alex he come on, come on, yeah, I

1341
01:08:29,800 --> 01:08:32,120
Speaker 2: was one on rest.

1342
01:08:32,240 --> 01:08:32,920
Speaker 1: T J. Watson.

1343
01:08:34,040 --> 01:08:37,559
Speaker 10: Yeah, you look, you're looking at them and they're fastic.

1344
01:08:37,880 --> 01:08:39,240
Speaker 10: They could possibly lose.

1345
01:08:39,000 --> 01:08:39,680
Speaker 3: To Denver too.

1346
01:08:40,640 --> 01:08:42,679
Speaker 2: Well, Denver is gonna be that game.

1347
01:08:43,080 --> 01:08:46,479
Speaker 10: Right exactly, and so a baby, well, that's the thing.

1348
01:08:46,840 --> 01:08:50,160
Speaker 10: You're gonna turn that too into one win their game.

1349
01:08:50,240 --> 01:08:53,280
Speaker 1: And then watch but uh, well they're gonna know how

1350
01:08:53,280 --> 01:08:57,559
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh did. But I mean, how Kansas City get against Houston.

1351
01:08:59,200 --> 01:09:01,679
Speaker 1: We'll see. You still just got to win your games,

1352
01:09:01,720 --> 01:09:05,519
Speaker 1: and you don't want to get caught by Pittsburgh winning

1353
01:09:05,560 --> 01:09:07,880
Speaker 1: out and then taking you and now you're the three seed.

1354
01:09:08,240 --> 01:09:10,880
Speaker 1: You then have Kansas City losing their first division round.

1355
01:09:10,960 --> 01:09:12,840
Speaker 1: You win, you got to go on the road instead

1356
01:09:12,840 --> 01:09:14,839
Speaker 1: of having everybody come to you for the FC championship.

1357
01:09:14,840 --> 01:09:16,080
Speaker 1: The two seed does mean something.

1358
01:09:16,080 --> 01:09:16,960
Speaker 3: It does mean something.

1359
01:09:17,080 --> 01:09:20,479
Speaker 10: Yeah, so uh, I'm I mean, well we're talking about

1360
01:09:20,520 --> 01:09:22,360
Speaker 10: the Jets snake week, but whatever.

1361
01:09:24,120 --> 01:09:24,280
Speaker 1: I mean.

1362
01:09:24,920 --> 01:09:27,439
Speaker 2: To Steve's point though, it's not just about trying to

1363
01:09:27,520 --> 01:09:29,400
Speaker 2: run down the Chiefs. It's trying to stay ahead of

1364
01:09:29,400 --> 01:09:30,880
Speaker 2: the Steelers right behind you.

1365
01:09:31,760 --> 01:09:35,439
Speaker 1: And they had Yes, that was a big help. Yeah,

1366
01:09:35,880 --> 01:09:37,120
Speaker 1: they lose Philly, Phil.

1367
01:09:36,880 --> 01:09:38,479
Speaker 3: Philly, and off the field that was a big, big

1368
01:09:38,560 --> 01:09:39,400
Speaker 3: logs for him right there.

1369
01:09:39,600 --> 01:09:42,200
Speaker 1: Baltimore looked dead. They were eight and five at one point,

1370
01:09:42,240 --> 01:09:46,200
Speaker 1: but you know if they tie the Bills record, you

1371
01:09:46,240 --> 01:09:48,519
Speaker 1: know they'd win because they got the head to head

1372
01:09:48,520 --> 01:09:48,920
Speaker 1: the Bills.

1373
01:09:49,400 --> 01:09:52,599
Speaker 2: Uh So nine and five now, right, and they play

1374
01:09:53,080 --> 01:09:55,200
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh this week.

1375
01:09:55,600 --> 01:09:59,320
Speaker 1: Yes, on Pittsburgh Baltimore Saturday.

1376
01:09:59,680 --> 01:10:03,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, one of those teams is can obviously lose. Yeah,

1377
01:10:03,560 --> 01:10:06,719
Speaker 2: I'm thinking Baltimore is gonna beat them out for the division.

1378
01:10:07,080 --> 01:10:08,000
Speaker 2: They're a game back.

1379
01:10:08,640 --> 01:10:12,040
Speaker 3: Is that game in Baltimore? Is it in Pittsburgh? I

1380
01:10:12,080 --> 01:10:13,800
Speaker 3: think that would make a guess.

1381
01:10:14,600 --> 01:10:17,280
Speaker 10: I think it's a huge difference which where where this

1382
01:10:17,360 --> 01:10:19,240
Speaker 10: game is played, because that's what I think.

1383
01:10:19,320 --> 01:10:23,479
Speaker 3: Lamar has really played well in Pittsburgh. I couldn't be wrong, but.

1384
01:10:24,200 --> 01:10:26,360
Speaker 1: No, Lamar has not played well in Pittsburgh. They've lost

1385
01:10:26,360 --> 01:10:30,240
Speaker 1: eight of their last nine against Oldsburgh and eight and

1386
01:10:30,320 --> 01:10:32,320
Speaker 1: eight of those all eight of those wins have been

1387
01:10:32,720 --> 01:10:33,919
Speaker 1: single digit losses.

1388
01:10:34,600 --> 01:10:35,919
Speaker 2: And it's in Baltimore.

1389
01:10:35,960 --> 01:10:38,800
Speaker 1: And I'll say this, Uh, think about this.

1390
01:10:39,080 --> 01:10:40,439
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh won the first meeting.

1391
01:10:40,960 --> 01:10:42,960
Speaker 1: I think that's one of the things that's always bothered

1392
01:10:43,000 --> 01:10:48,400
Speaker 1: Bill's fans about Baltimore and Lamar. Lamar doesn't seem like

1393
01:10:48,439 --> 01:10:52,639
Speaker 1: he's clutch. Mahomes does, Josh does, Joe Burrow seems clutch.

1394
01:10:52,880 --> 01:10:54,720
Speaker 1: When the chips are down, you need to play those

1395
01:10:54,720 --> 01:10:58,160
Speaker 1: guys make that play. It doesn't look like Lamar does.

1396
01:10:58,280 --> 01:11:00,000
Speaker 1: Lamar is an elite front runner.

1397
01:11:00,439 --> 01:11:02,240
Speaker 10: I think he's doing just make that play. Mostly in

1398
01:11:02,280 --> 01:11:05,920
Speaker 10: the playoffs. I think during the regular season he makes

1399
01:11:05,960 --> 01:11:06,800
Speaker 10: those plays.

1400
01:11:06,640 --> 01:11:08,559
Speaker 1: And the regular season they never had those because he's

1401
01:11:08,600 --> 01:11:10,120
Speaker 1: They're running off and leaving folks.

1402
01:11:10,200 --> 01:11:12,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, but he's still making plays.

1403
01:11:12,520 --> 01:11:12,840
Speaker 1: I don't know.

1404
01:11:12,840 --> 01:11:15,680
Speaker 2: If I lost eighteen sixteen to the Steelers in the

1405
01:11:15,680 --> 01:11:16,200
Speaker 2: first game.

1406
01:11:16,880 --> 01:11:19,720
Speaker 10: They know, and you know what that game was. They

1407
01:11:19,760 --> 01:11:23,000
Speaker 10: tried to have Lamar Jackson throw the ball board and

1408
01:11:23,000 --> 01:11:25,320
Speaker 10: they had Derek Henry run the football that first game,

1409
01:11:25,800 --> 01:11:29,920
Speaker 10: and it changed the entire dynamic of it because that's

1410
01:11:29,960 --> 01:11:32,880
Speaker 10: what they tried to do against Kansas City, and that's.

1411
01:11:32,720 --> 01:11:34,840
Speaker 2: What STEP's saying. They put the game on Lamar to

1412
01:11:34,920 --> 01:11:36,920
Speaker 2: win it and it didn't happen.

1413
01:11:36,920 --> 01:11:38,759
Speaker 3: Regular season and it didn't happen.

1414
01:11:39,280 --> 01:11:41,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, well yeah, but regular season. Third, the guy has

1415
01:11:41,720 --> 01:11:43,040
Speaker 1: never won a playoff game.

1416
01:11:43,360 --> 01:11:45,360
Speaker 2: I think he won one, and he's won one.

1417
01:11:45,840 --> 01:11:47,840
Speaker 1: Joshua's won every single year.

1418
01:11:48,240 --> 01:11:50,240
Speaker 3: I get it. I get it.

1419
01:11:50,280 --> 01:11:52,559
Speaker 1: So I'm home just two. I mean, that's my point.

1420
01:11:53,120 --> 01:11:57,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, you gotta figure in this league, somebody's going to

1421
01:11:57,200 --> 01:12:00,759
Speaker 3: have that on there. Matt Ryan, Philip Rivers, somebody gonna

1422
01:12:00,760 --> 01:12:02,160
Speaker 3: have that on them.

1423
01:12:02,280 --> 01:12:04,400
Speaker 2: It might be Lamar, it could it could be Lamar,

1424
01:12:04,680 --> 01:12:05,840
Speaker 2: it could be Lamar j.

1425
01:12:06,120 --> 01:12:08,280
Speaker 1: That's a hole in his resume. The guy's a two

1426
01:12:08,320 --> 01:12:13,519
Speaker 1: time MVP and he's got one playoff win. There's something

1427
01:12:13,560 --> 01:12:17,160
Speaker 1: in that. You can quantify it or describe it however

1428
01:12:17,200 --> 01:12:20,320
Speaker 1: you want. Maybe it's indescribable, but I think it comes

1429
01:12:20,360 --> 01:12:24,120
Speaker 1: down to, you know, when it's time to have a

1430
01:12:24,160 --> 01:12:26,320
Speaker 1: guy rise up and make other guys better. I mean,

1431
01:12:26,360 --> 01:12:29,160
Speaker 1: he's great, but I don't see him elevating anybody.

1432
01:12:30,520 --> 01:12:33,160
Speaker 3: You know, maybe this is the year with Dereg Henry.

1433
01:12:33,520 --> 01:12:36,000
Speaker 1: It might be because it's a different year.

1434
01:12:36,080 --> 01:12:38,120
Speaker 3: It's different year, like.

1435
01:12:38,040 --> 01:12:39,800
Speaker 1: It's a different year for Buffalo, it's a different year

1436
01:12:39,800 --> 01:12:40,040
Speaker 1: for them.

1437
01:12:40,040 --> 01:12:42,680
Speaker 2: Well that's why I think somehow, some way, they're gonna

1438
01:12:43,080 --> 01:12:45,880
Speaker 2: walk down Pittsburgh and take the division from them because

1439
01:12:45,880 --> 01:12:47,600
Speaker 2: they're only a game back. They got the head to

1440
01:12:47,680 --> 01:12:51,559
Speaker 2: head this week, and then the Steelers got to go

1441
01:12:51,560 --> 01:12:56,240
Speaker 2: play the Chiefs in four days, you know what I mean. Baltimore,

1442
01:12:57,439 --> 01:13:03,320
Speaker 2: Baltimore has got They're at Houston the next week and

1443
01:13:03,320 --> 01:13:04,720
Speaker 2: then Cleveland.

1444
01:13:05,520 --> 01:13:07,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, they could catch them.

1445
01:13:08,160 --> 01:13:12,320
Speaker 1: I'll say this though, I'm uh this this game. There's

1446
01:13:12,320 --> 01:13:14,720
Speaker 1: a game tonight, Chargers Broncos.

1447
01:13:14,880 --> 01:13:17,000
Speaker 2: That's a big one too, It's a really big So

1448
01:13:17,280 --> 01:13:20,200
Speaker 2: the Chargers are eight and six, Broncos are nine and five.

1449
01:13:20,520 --> 01:13:24,640
Speaker 10: Broncos if yeah, Broncos, So Broncos win, they clinch a

1450
01:13:24,640 --> 01:13:25,439
Speaker 10: playoff spot.

1451
01:13:25,880 --> 01:13:28,880
Speaker 1: I think I think ten, Yeah, ten gets them in.

1452
01:13:29,040 --> 01:13:31,880
Speaker 2: I think that's right, But I would have to check Okay,

1453
01:13:32,560 --> 01:13:35,800
Speaker 2: I don't think mathematically it's cements it, but it's like.

1454
01:13:35,760 --> 01:13:37,880
Speaker 1: A the Broncos go ten and five, they would jump

1455
01:13:37,880 --> 01:13:40,000
Speaker 1: ahead of Baltimore where Baltimore is at nine.

1456
01:13:40,040 --> 01:13:40,680
Speaker 2: Momentarily.

1457
01:13:40,760 --> 01:13:46,400
Speaker 1: Momentarily, uh, they would be oh yeah that yeah, absolutely

1458
01:13:46,439 --> 01:13:48,920
Speaker 1: would because they would beat Los Angeles, which is the

1459
01:13:48,960 --> 01:13:51,639
Speaker 1: game team right behind him. The next closest team has

1460
01:13:51,680 --> 01:13:55,280
Speaker 1: six wins. So yeah, they'd be in.

1461
01:13:54,200 --> 01:13:57,679
Speaker 10: Only thing that I know right now at this point

1462
01:13:58,160 --> 01:14:02,320
Speaker 10: that we're playing better than anybody. We are playing better

1463
01:14:02,360 --> 01:14:05,120
Speaker 10: than anybody. I'm not even talking about NMC. I'm talking

1464
01:14:05,120 --> 01:14:08,600
Speaker 10: about AMC right now. We're playing better than anybody. I

1465
01:14:08,640 --> 01:14:11,000
Speaker 10: think we're I think we're the team to be even

1466
01:14:11,040 --> 01:14:14,880
Speaker 10: if we don't get the number one seed, I still

1467
01:14:14,960 --> 01:14:18,840
Speaker 10: think we are the best team in AMC. I think

1468
01:14:18,880 --> 01:14:20,760
Speaker 10: we can I think we can go either way. We

1469
01:14:20,800 --> 01:14:22,880
Speaker 10: can play two games or we can play three games

1470
01:14:22,880 --> 01:14:23,760
Speaker 10: to get through the Super Bowl.

1471
01:14:23,800 --> 01:14:26,320
Speaker 2: All right, So let me throw this at you then,

1472
01:14:28,120 --> 01:14:33,200
Speaker 2: is there any team that you would be concerned isn't

1473
01:14:33,840 --> 01:14:38,000
Speaker 2: an ideal matchup for the Bills in the AFC, Like, hey,

1474
01:14:38,040 --> 01:14:41,640
Speaker 2: if I had to pick one team to avoid on

1475
01:14:41,720 --> 01:14:43,680
Speaker 2: the path to the Super Bowl in the A f C.

1476
01:14:43,840 --> 01:14:48,679
Speaker 2: It would be is it Kansas City over Baltimore, Because

1477
01:14:48,680 --> 01:14:50,280
Speaker 2: I gotta tell you, I'm a little more concerned about

1478
01:14:50,320 --> 01:14:52,680
Speaker 2: Baltimore than i am about Kansas City.

1479
01:14:52,400 --> 01:14:54,599
Speaker 1: I think it's Kansas City. I think they got that.

1480
01:14:55,960 --> 01:15:00,000
Speaker 3: At some point in time, Brownie. We gotta start kicking.

1481
01:15:00,200 --> 01:15:01,639
Speaker 1: But well, yeah, I'm doing.

1482
01:15:03,240 --> 01:15:04,639
Speaker 2: I feel good about that happening.

1483
01:15:05,080 --> 01:15:06,439
Speaker 1: That's the thing we have to start.

1484
01:15:06,560 --> 01:15:09,040
Speaker 10: It was the same thing with Peyton man and Tom Brady.

1485
01:15:09,400 --> 01:15:12,280
Speaker 10: Tom Brady kept beating peyton Man until that one time he.

1486
01:15:12,479 --> 01:15:15,599
Speaker 2: Peyton Manning beat him in his seventh or eighth season

1487
01:15:15,600 --> 01:15:16,080
Speaker 2: in the league.

1488
01:15:16,160 --> 01:15:18,640
Speaker 10: Took him, took him back long, took him back, and

1489
01:15:18,680 --> 01:15:21,320
Speaker 10: noe of the reason they won that game because Belichick

1490
01:15:21,400 --> 01:15:22,040
Speaker 10: went for it on for.

1491
01:15:22,120 --> 01:15:24,840
Speaker 2: Him down in his own half of the field.

1492
01:15:24,880 --> 01:15:27,400
Speaker 1: That's right, and he did. Hey, that was just that.

1493
01:15:27,400 --> 01:15:29,599
Speaker 1: That going forward and fourth down with Belichick way back

1494
01:15:29,640 --> 01:15:31,720
Speaker 1: in the day is exactly why Dan Campbell kicked the

1495
01:15:31,720 --> 01:15:34,200
Speaker 1: on side kick with twelve minutes ago. We ain't stopping

1496
01:15:34,200 --> 01:15:36,680
Speaker 1: those guys. We got to get the ball. That was

1497
01:15:36,720 --> 01:15:39,360
Speaker 1: exactly the same, That was the same train of thought,

1498
01:15:39,439 --> 01:15:43,280
Speaker 1: and it didn't work, But you got that's that's what

1499
01:15:43,479 --> 01:15:45,080
Speaker 1: they know. They got to have the ball back, and

1500
01:15:45,080 --> 01:15:45,720
Speaker 1: the An' getting it.

1501
01:15:45,720 --> 01:15:48,080
Speaker 2: They were treating Josh like teams treating Mahomes. We can't

1502
01:15:48,120 --> 01:15:49,280
Speaker 2: give him the ball back, can't.

1503
01:15:49,080 --> 01:15:50,200
Speaker 3: Give them the ball back. I mean he was on

1504
01:15:50,400 --> 01:15:51,000
Speaker 3: he's on fire.

1505
01:15:52,280 --> 01:15:55,360
Speaker 10: Yeah, I'm glad I'm sitting over.

1506
01:15:55,240 --> 01:15:58,960
Speaker 1: Here watching the only team. I get it. Baltimore is

1507
01:15:58,960 --> 01:16:02,439
Speaker 1: a difficult matchup. There, difficult matchup for we owe them one. Yes.

1508
01:16:02,479 --> 01:16:04,320
Speaker 1: And I'll say this too. Is there a team before

1509
01:16:04,360 --> 01:16:06,120
Speaker 1: don't mind playing? And I'll say the team that I

1510
01:16:06,120 --> 01:16:07,839
Speaker 1: wouldn't mind playing again is Houston.

1511
01:16:08,960 --> 01:16:10,920
Speaker 3: I think we I think we rolled right over Heton.

1512
01:16:11,000 --> 01:16:12,799
Speaker 1: I do too, and I think that's a big.

1513
01:16:12,760 --> 01:16:15,800
Speaker 2: Now, don't forget, and I know we've got to break here,

1514
01:16:15,800 --> 01:16:18,439
Speaker 2: but don't forget the last time the Bills played them,

1515
01:16:18,640 --> 01:16:21,320
Speaker 2: Joe Mixon was not in the lineup. He was out injured.

1516
01:16:21,720 --> 01:16:24,320
Speaker 2: And he's back now, and he can run the football

1517
01:16:24,680 --> 01:16:27,160
Speaker 2: like they can ride him. And he's got a history

1518
01:16:27,200 --> 01:16:30,479
Speaker 2: against this team here. We all remember the Cincinnati Divisional

1519
01:16:30,479 --> 01:16:34,040
Speaker 2: playoff when he ran for one fifty. Don't forget about that.

1520
01:16:34,600 --> 01:16:34,840
Speaker 3: I think.

1521
01:16:35,800 --> 01:16:38,719
Speaker 2: Good to see you have a merry Christmas with the family.

1522
01:16:39,680 --> 01:16:40,559
Speaker 2: Have a merry Christmas.

1523
01:16:40,680 --> 01:16:42,599
Speaker 3: Then a happy New Year, and go Bill.

1524
01:16:43,320 --> 01:16:45,080
Speaker 2: Hall of Famer Therma Thomas here with us on one

1525
01:16:45,080 --> 01:16:47,040
Speaker 2: Bill's Live. Will take a break and back to phone calls.

1526
01:16:47,280 --> 01:16:50,720
Speaker 1: Stay with us, Josh, that did not seem Junia.

1527
01:17:03,439 --> 01:17:07,400
Speaker 2: From the Coach's Office, presented by c FBT, the official

1528
01:17:07,439 --> 01:17:10,760
Speaker 2: Office Technology company of the Buffalo Bills. All right, Steve,

1529
01:17:10,840 --> 01:17:12,880
Speaker 2: this Patriots team, they haven't seen them all season, but

1530
01:17:12,920 --> 01:17:15,839
Speaker 2: they got to play him twice in the next three weeks.

1531
01:17:16,520 --> 01:17:20,080
Speaker 2: How are the coaches strategizing this week knowing they got

1532
01:17:20,120 --> 01:17:20,960
Speaker 2: to play this team again?

1533
01:17:21,040 --> 01:17:23,759
Speaker 1: To me, to me, and by all accounts, there should

1534
01:17:23,800 --> 01:17:26,639
Speaker 1: be some matchups where the Bills are just superior, in fact,

1535
01:17:26,760 --> 01:17:30,760
Speaker 1: multiple matchups. If New England is on a rebuild and

1536
01:17:30,800 --> 01:17:32,519
Speaker 1: they've got some guys that they need to replace, they

1537
01:17:32,520 --> 01:17:35,439
Speaker 1: just aren't good enough to compete at a high level,

1538
01:17:35,520 --> 01:17:37,479
Speaker 1: you get your guys matched up on them and you win,

1539
01:17:37,520 --> 01:17:40,080
Speaker 1: and you keep the game plan more simple, let your

1540
01:17:40,120 --> 01:17:42,599
Speaker 1: guys win. Just go out there and play and win,

1541
01:17:43,560 --> 01:17:46,800
Speaker 1: and I think then from there, in two weeks, then

1542
01:17:46,840 --> 01:17:49,120
Speaker 1: you strategize and say, Okay, now we're gonna give you

1543
01:17:49,200 --> 01:17:52,160
Speaker 1: some help. Now that they've got this some answers or whatever.

1544
01:17:52,720 --> 01:17:54,880
Speaker 1: Now we'll strategize it or throw in some wrinkles that

1545
01:17:54,920 --> 01:17:57,320
Speaker 1: will help you win. But I think this you depend

1546
01:17:57,360 --> 01:17:59,639
Speaker 1: you coach your players like you trust them. You're better

1547
01:17:59,680 --> 01:18:02,400
Speaker 1: than they. Go out and prove it, and keep it

1548
01:18:02,479 --> 01:18:05,719
Speaker 1: more simple than you were forced to last year. Last week,

1549
01:18:06,040 --> 01:18:08,559
Speaker 1: the Lions forced you to hit on all cylinders. Now

1550
01:18:08,560 --> 01:18:10,479
Speaker 1: the Bills were doing that offensively and stuff, and they

1551
01:18:10,520 --> 01:18:11,559
Speaker 1: showed why you got to hit.

1552
01:18:11,760 --> 01:18:14,080
Speaker 2: Yeah. But to Dan Orlovsky's point, he was on the

1553
01:18:14,080 --> 01:18:16,400
Speaker 2: show earlier this week, Joe Brady didn't just say here's

1554
01:18:16,400 --> 01:18:18,600
Speaker 2: the one on mon matchup, now go win it. You

1555
01:18:18,720 --> 01:18:21,160
Speaker 2: used scheme to facilitate that matchup righting.

1556
01:18:21,360 --> 01:18:23,640
Speaker 1: Now you can now Also you could do somef just

1557
01:18:23,680 --> 01:18:26,160
Speaker 1: repeat some stuff you have that you've given you success

1558
01:18:26,160 --> 01:18:27,720
Speaker 1: in the past. And you know, I'm not saying from

1559
01:18:27,840 --> 01:18:30,960
Speaker 1: last week, but other things against defensive schemes like the

1560
01:18:31,000 --> 01:18:35,080
Speaker 1: Patriots run, be ready to run those, uh and always

1561
01:18:36,360 --> 01:18:39,960
Speaker 1: always if you see him in a coverage, every no

1562
01:18:40,120 --> 01:18:43,439
Speaker 1: coverage is perfect. So hit it where the coverage is

1563
01:18:43,520 --> 01:18:46,799
Speaker 1: vulnerable and scheme it up correctly. But keep it simple,

1564
01:18:47,320 --> 01:18:50,559
Speaker 1: you know, so you're gonna attack cover two on the outside,

1565
01:18:50,600 --> 01:18:53,320
Speaker 1: deep on the on the sidelines, and underneath and in

1566
01:18:53,400 --> 01:18:56,800
Speaker 1: the flat and just over the ball. That's you know,

1567
01:18:56,800 --> 01:18:58,720
Speaker 1: those kind of dead areas. If they're in cover three,

1568
01:18:58,760 --> 01:19:01,960
Speaker 1: you're going to be in the deep curls all that stuff.

1569
01:19:02,000 --> 01:19:06,240
Speaker 1: So you'll keep scheming it to work against the defense

1570
01:19:06,280 --> 01:19:08,920
Speaker 1: they've called, but you don't have to go elaborate. And

1571
01:19:09,360 --> 01:19:11,719
Speaker 1: you know, if they're gonna run, if they're gonna run

1572
01:19:13,040 --> 01:19:18,200
Speaker 1: man de man defense, you know, Gonzales can stay with guys,

1573
01:19:18,680 --> 01:19:21,880
Speaker 1: can anybody else? And if they can, then you might

1574
01:19:21,960 --> 01:19:24,280
Speaker 1: start running some rub plays and getting some guys open

1575
01:19:24,320 --> 01:19:24,639
Speaker 1: that way.

1576
01:19:25,360 --> 01:19:27,320
Speaker 2: Let's go to the phones at eight oh three h

1577
01:19:27,439 --> 01:19:30,280
Speaker 2: five fifty one eight eight five fifty two five fifty

1578
01:19:30,320 --> 01:19:33,479
Speaker 2: where we've been asking you today what will be the

1579
01:19:33,479 --> 01:19:37,160
Speaker 2: biggest factor in a Bill's win over the Patriots? And

1580
01:19:37,520 --> 01:19:40,600
Speaker 2: got some people waiting patiently. We go to Rob in Connecticut.

1581
01:19:41,240 --> 01:19:41,880
Speaker 1: You pull them up here.

1582
01:19:41,920 --> 01:19:42,479
Speaker 2: What do you got for us?

1583
01:19:42,560 --> 01:19:42,760
Speaker 1: Rob?

1584
01:19:43,680 --> 01:19:47,720
Speaker 4: Hey, how you doing, Brownie? Good afternoon, Steve. Always a

1585
01:19:47,760 --> 01:19:50,080
Speaker 4: pleasure to be on with you guys. Thanks for taking

1586
01:19:50,120 --> 01:19:54,040
Speaker 4: my call. Steve just hit the nail right on the head.

1587
01:19:54,080 --> 01:19:55,800
Speaker 4: I was sitting here as I was listening to you

1588
01:19:55,800 --> 01:19:58,880
Speaker 4: guys talking to Therming and then touching on this this

1589
01:19:59,000 --> 01:20:02,800
Speaker 4: game coming up. Keep it simple, I mean, just keep

1590
01:20:02,800 --> 01:20:05,479
Speaker 4: it simple. We don't have to do anything fancy. Just

1591
01:20:05,560 --> 01:20:09,800
Speaker 4: go out play the game. Contain Drake May you know,

1592
01:20:10,000 --> 01:20:11,920
Speaker 4: that's you know, all got to do is just contain

1593
01:20:12,040 --> 01:20:16,519
Speaker 4: him defensively and then offensively. Just go out have fun.

1594
01:20:17,040 --> 01:20:20,160
Speaker 4: Use the three Musketeers, because that's what I call Dy

1595
01:20:20,320 --> 01:20:23,960
Speaker 4: Ray and Jimbo. Now that's the three Musketeers right there.

1596
01:20:24,080 --> 01:20:26,280
Speaker 4: So have fun, you know, go out play the game.

1597
01:20:26,640 --> 01:20:30,760
Speaker 4: Maybe throw throw a couple of plays at him that

1598
01:20:31,240 --> 01:20:34,080
Speaker 4: we haven't used that we've been working on, and try

1599
01:20:34,120 --> 01:20:36,360
Speaker 4: it out, and don't be afraid for the deep ball

1600
01:20:36,400 --> 01:20:38,840
Speaker 4: every once in a while. You know, I think this

1601
01:20:38,880 --> 01:20:41,680
Speaker 4: is gonna be a good outcome. I'm not worried about it.

1602
01:20:41,880 --> 01:20:44,040
Speaker 4: Keep doing what you guys are doing. Always a pleasure.

1603
01:20:44,400 --> 01:20:46,720
Speaker 1: Thank you, all right, Thanks Rob, Thanks appreciate that.

1604
01:20:46,800 --> 01:20:50,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean they're calling Drake May a mini Josh.

1605
01:20:50,800 --> 01:20:52,760
Speaker 2: He does similar things to what Josh did. Is a

1606
01:20:52,800 --> 01:20:56,760
Speaker 2: very young player using his legs. I mean, he's doing

1607
01:20:56,800 --> 01:21:00,719
Speaker 2: some improvisational off script type play as well. Last week

1608
01:21:00,760 --> 01:21:03,160
Speaker 2: against the Cardinals, he's in the red zone. He takes

1609
01:21:03,160 --> 01:21:05,200
Speaker 2: off out of the pocket to the left side, he's

1610
01:21:05,280 --> 01:21:08,360
Speaker 2: running towards the end zone, two defenders close on him.

1611
01:21:08,439 --> 01:21:10,320
Speaker 2: He throws a shovel pass into the end zone to

1612
01:21:10,400 --> 01:21:13,720
Speaker 2: an open receiver, just shoveled it right to him in

1613
01:21:13,800 --> 01:21:17,000
Speaker 2: between the two defenders. Touchdown. That's the stuff that Josh does.

1614
01:21:18,560 --> 01:21:21,040
Speaker 2: May has that level of athleticism, and he's got a

1615
01:21:21,040 --> 01:21:23,800
Speaker 2: big arm. It's probably not as big as Josh's arm is,

1616
01:21:23,800 --> 01:21:27,320
Speaker 2: but it's more than good enough. So he just needs

1617
01:21:27,360 --> 01:21:29,560
Speaker 2: people around him. And whether the Patriots are gonna be

1618
01:21:29,600 --> 01:21:31,600
Speaker 2: able to do that, I don't know, But he's the

1619
01:21:31,640 --> 01:21:34,200
Speaker 2: guy you know obviously to stop the run first, but

1620
01:21:34,680 --> 01:21:36,280
Speaker 2: you gotta hem him in the pocket and not let

1621
01:21:36,360 --> 01:21:39,320
Speaker 2: him start running around extending drives with his legs.

1622
01:21:39,560 --> 01:21:43,720
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, I would agree with all of that. Yeah,

1623
01:21:44,200 --> 01:21:47,400
Speaker 1: defend him. How you are afraid of people being able

1624
01:21:47,439 --> 01:21:49,240
Speaker 1: to defend Josh?

1625
01:21:49,400 --> 01:21:49,639
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1626
01:21:49,640 --> 01:21:51,679
Speaker 2: And they have experience doing that. I mean they played

1627
01:21:51,920 --> 01:21:54,240
Speaker 2: They've played Lamar almost every year the last few years

1628
01:21:54,280 --> 01:21:55,080
Speaker 2: and Mahomes two.

1629
01:21:55,360 --> 01:22:00,479
Speaker 1: What do you hate about defenses who play Josh in

1630
01:22:00,520 --> 01:22:05,040
Speaker 1: a certain way and mimic it? Yeah, that's it's it's

1631
01:22:05,040 --> 01:22:08,400
Speaker 1: pretty cutting dry. So due to them, what do you

1632
01:22:08,439 --> 01:22:10,760
Speaker 1: hope they don't do to you? With your quarterback.

1633
01:22:11,160 --> 01:22:13,120
Speaker 2: Let's go to Tom in West Virginia.

1634
01:22:13,160 --> 01:22:13,360
Speaker 4: Next.

1635
01:22:13,360 --> 01:22:14,800
Speaker 2: What's up Tom?

1636
01:22:15,160 --> 01:22:18,719
Speaker 5: Hey, Chris A, Steve, how you guys doing good? Good?

1637
01:22:18,840 --> 01:22:21,439
Speaker 5: Good to hear. I wanted to thank you guys first off,

1638
01:22:21,439 --> 01:22:23,160
Speaker 5: for about a month ago, I was having a having

1639
01:22:23,160 --> 01:22:25,600
Speaker 5: a rough day at work and you guys had me

1640
01:22:25,680 --> 01:22:30,439
Speaker 5: laughing with NonStop. I do believe you guys were It

1641
01:22:30,479 --> 01:22:36,560
Speaker 5: was in reference to the Jets hiring Mike Cannonbaum. Oh yeah,

1642
01:22:36,600 --> 01:22:38,600
Speaker 5: a firm to help them find her new coach. And

1643
01:22:38,640 --> 01:22:40,519
Speaker 5: I can't remember if it was Christmas Steve and said it.

1644
01:22:40,800 --> 01:22:43,280
Speaker 5: What you guys said, Uh, that's like having your first

1645
01:22:43,280 --> 01:22:44,960
Speaker 5: ex wife find your new ex wife.

1646
01:22:45,080 --> 01:22:50,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, yep, that's about it. That's where they are.

1647
01:22:51,720 --> 01:22:53,559
Speaker 5: And then the next set I heard about the Jets,

1648
01:22:53,560 --> 01:22:56,400
Speaker 5: I had to repeat it to you guys. Dan Mitchell

1649
01:22:56,479 --> 01:22:59,320
Speaker 5: was a Bill's Content guy, and it was said to

1650
01:22:59,439 --> 01:23:05,200
Speaker 5: him is that the Jets are like the restaurant location

1651
01:23:05,320 --> 01:23:08,559
Speaker 5: in your hometown that keeps closing and opening up as

1652
01:23:08,560 --> 01:23:10,880
Speaker 5: a new restaurant, but the food is just still awful.

1653
01:23:12,880 --> 01:23:15,280
Speaker 2: Oh, there's a lot of examples that.

1654
01:23:15,280 --> 01:23:19,679
Speaker 1: That's a good one too. That's very fitting. Yeah, same location,

1655
01:23:19,880 --> 01:23:20,960
Speaker 1: the food is still terrible.

1656
01:23:23,080 --> 01:23:26,439
Speaker 5: My question is for you, Steve Okay and Oliver had

1657
01:23:26,479 --> 01:23:30,080
Speaker 5: this fantastic game and Chris you saw it as well.

1658
01:23:30,840 --> 01:23:33,639
Speaker 5: My thing is, he's not had a very good season

1659
01:23:33,840 --> 01:23:36,639
Speaker 5: statistic wise. It's probably his worst season as a pro.

1660
01:23:37,840 --> 01:23:38,160
Speaker 3: Steve.

1661
01:23:38,280 --> 01:23:40,280
Speaker 5: When you get a player in the locker room that's

1662
01:23:40,360 --> 01:23:43,599
Speaker 5: not having what's to say, they're in a slump, how

1663
01:23:43,600 --> 01:23:45,639
Speaker 5: does that? How does that work in with the players

1664
01:23:45,640 --> 01:23:48,200
Speaker 5: and the coaches? How do you guys deal with Like

1665
01:23:48,320 --> 01:23:51,240
Speaker 5: how do you guys deal with that? Basically? Like like

1666
01:23:51,640 --> 01:23:55,439
Speaker 5: is there you know, how does that guy happen to

1667
01:23:55,439 --> 01:23:55,880
Speaker 5: come out of it?

1668
01:23:55,880 --> 01:23:57,800
Speaker 1: As what I'm asking, Well, here's the thing. I'll say this,

1669
01:23:57,920 --> 01:24:01,880
Speaker 1: it's a I think Ed. This season for Ed has

1670
01:24:01,960 --> 01:24:04,800
Speaker 1: been one where he hasn't been as good. And I'll

1671
01:24:04,840 --> 01:24:09,320
Speaker 1: say this the thing that and I think he's like

1672
01:24:09,360 --> 01:24:12,040
Speaker 1: a little a lot of other veteran players we have seen,

1673
01:24:12,040 --> 01:24:15,679
Speaker 1: maybe even like a guy like Vaughn and these guys

1674
01:24:15,720 --> 01:24:17,720
Speaker 1: who have been around and Vaughn's you know, won two

1675
01:24:17,800 --> 01:24:20,800
Speaker 1: Super Bowls with two different franchises, and this is a

1676
01:24:20,840 --> 01:24:23,920
Speaker 1: team and during Ed's think about it, During Ed's tenure

1677
01:24:23,960 --> 01:24:26,719
Speaker 1: here in Buffalo, he's in the playoffs every year he's

1678
01:24:26,720 --> 01:24:29,760
Speaker 1: a division champ every year of his career, right, this

1679
01:24:29,800 --> 01:24:36,400
Speaker 1: is where he expects to be. It's difficult to get excited.

1680
01:24:36,439 --> 01:24:38,840
Speaker 1: And especially when you've got it all sewed up two

1681
01:24:38,840 --> 01:24:41,840
Speaker 1: weeks ago, three weeks ago, and you're winning games early

1682
01:24:41,880 --> 01:24:43,479
Speaker 1: in the season, you know you're as good as you've

1683
01:24:43,520 --> 01:24:49,120
Speaker 1: ever been, it's hard to get to fully jump in

1684
01:24:49,200 --> 01:24:51,360
Speaker 1: with a lot of intensity and say and everything's important

1685
01:24:51,360 --> 01:24:54,519
Speaker 1: because you're waiting for the playoffs to start. My hope

1686
01:24:54,600 --> 01:24:57,240
Speaker 1: is and my contention is a guy like Vaughn, the

1687
01:24:57,280 --> 01:25:00,840
Speaker 1: guy like Ed. Ed showed you when he wants it,

1688
01:25:00,840 --> 01:25:04,040
Speaker 1: he's got it. He turned it on last week. And

1689
01:25:04,080 --> 01:25:05,640
Speaker 1: I think there's a little bit of this, like the

1690
01:25:06,000 --> 01:25:08,320
Speaker 1: like the Chiefs are in, just get them, get me

1691
01:25:08,360 --> 01:25:10,599
Speaker 1: the playoffs so I can start playing for something the meaningful.

1692
01:25:10,600 --> 01:25:13,639
Speaker 1: They've been through this, This is not why they're playing.

1693
01:25:13,960 --> 01:25:15,840
Speaker 1: And it's hard to make it look like it's the

1694
01:25:15,880 --> 01:25:19,879
Speaker 1: most important thing ever when you're waiting for the tournament

1695
01:25:19,920 --> 01:25:21,680
Speaker 1: to start. And they've been waiting for the tournament to

1696
01:25:21,720 --> 01:25:25,920
Speaker 1: start probably since they were nine and two, right so

1697
01:25:26,200 --> 01:25:28,320
Speaker 1: or eight and two and there you know, and the

1698
01:25:28,439 --> 01:25:31,080
Speaker 1: Jets and the Patriots and the Dolphins are all puking

1699
01:25:31,160 --> 01:25:33,599
Speaker 1: on their own shoes. You know you're gonna win the division,

1700
01:25:34,000 --> 01:25:36,839
Speaker 1: so it's like, you know, get me to the playoffs

1701
01:25:36,840 --> 01:25:40,200
Speaker 1: and a game like last Sunday in Detroit when the

1702
01:25:40,240 --> 01:25:43,160
Speaker 1: whole world's watching kind of felt like it and Ed

1703
01:25:43,240 --> 01:25:46,479
Speaker 1: showed up like it. That's where I think some of

1704
01:25:46,520 --> 01:25:49,200
Speaker 1: these guys are at. They have had so much success

1705
01:25:49,360 --> 01:25:54,280
Speaker 1: for so long. Now it's like, Okay, it's greats I

1706
01:25:54,320 --> 01:25:56,120
Speaker 1: love it, We're doing good. I want to play in

1707
01:25:56,120 --> 01:25:59,519
Speaker 1: the playoff. Let's go, and so I think. But when

1708
01:25:59,560 --> 01:26:01,599
Speaker 1: you give him a little something extra, like a Detroit

1709
01:26:01,680 --> 01:26:04,160
Speaker 1: Lions team who's the best things in sliced bread, where

1710
01:26:04,160 --> 01:26:06,680
Speaker 1: they can show off and team really needs them, I

1711
01:26:06,720 --> 01:26:11,479
Speaker 1: got it. Let's go to me. That spells good things

1712
01:26:11,479 --> 01:26:13,679
Speaker 1: for the next few weeks. Doesn't say too much about

1713
01:26:13,720 --> 01:26:15,160
Speaker 1: the early part of the season, when you know he

1714
01:26:15,240 --> 01:26:18,439
Speaker 1: kind of disappeared and did what he could, but it

1715
01:26:18,479 --> 01:26:20,400
Speaker 1: does spell good things for the few weeks coming in.

1716
01:26:20,479 --> 01:26:22,040
Speaker 1: That's kind of how I choose to look at it.

1717
01:26:23,280 --> 01:26:25,160
Speaker 2: Gotta take a break here. When we come back, we'll

1718
01:26:25,160 --> 01:26:26,920
Speaker 2: see if we have time to squeeze in a phone call.

1719
01:26:27,000 --> 01:26:28,600
Speaker 2: Final segment coming your way next to here on one

1720
01:26:28,640 --> 01:26:45,400
Speaker 2: Bill's Live. Stay with us all right back here on

1721
01:26:45,400 --> 01:26:47,479
Speaker 2: one of Bill's Lives, Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you.

1722
01:26:47,680 --> 01:26:50,320
Speaker 2: Sorry to Butcher and Judy. We're not gonna have to

1723
01:26:50,360 --> 01:26:52,519
Speaker 2: have time for the phone calls here were a little

1724
01:26:52,560 --> 01:26:55,559
Speaker 2: tight on time, so we're gonna pivot to the tweet

1725
01:26:55,560 --> 01:26:57,880
Speaker 2: sheet here for the biggest factor, and a Bill's went

1726
01:26:57,920 --> 01:27:00,439
Speaker 2: over the Patriots tweet sheet brought to you by Corrigan

1727
01:27:00,520 --> 01:27:03,280
Speaker 2: Moving Systems, the official equipment moving company of the Buffalo Bills.

1728
01:27:04,240 --> 01:27:08,160
Speaker 2: From the BEV the mental gymnastics, they have to overcome.

1729
01:27:08,800 --> 01:27:11,320
Speaker 2: The Bills are in the playoffs and could be overlooking

1730
01:27:11,360 --> 01:27:13,120
Speaker 2: these two teams. They need to push these next two

1731
01:27:13,160 --> 01:27:14,800
Speaker 2: teams around and have the game in hand by the

1732
01:27:14,840 --> 01:27:20,559
Speaker 2: half start worrying about a championship belonging to Buffalo. Matt says,

1733
01:27:21,560 --> 01:27:24,040
Speaker 2: biggest factor in a Bill's win over the Patriots will

1734
01:27:24,040 --> 01:27:27,200
Speaker 2: be the backups, because our starters shouldn't play much maybe

1735
01:27:27,240 --> 01:27:29,120
Speaker 2: the first quarter, then turn it over to the backups.

1736
01:27:29,120 --> 01:27:31,200
Speaker 2: They need in game action as well. The first teams

1737
01:27:31,240 --> 01:27:34,240
Speaker 2: can stand by unless needed. We still want the one seed. Well,

1738
01:27:34,280 --> 01:27:36,639
Speaker 2: you can't have it both ways, Matt. You still want

1739
01:27:36,640 --> 01:27:38,600
Speaker 2: the one seed. You'll probably have to play more than

1740
01:27:38,640 --> 01:27:42,160
Speaker 2: a quarter because you got to keep winning, right, Like, yeah,

1741
01:27:42,240 --> 01:27:44,200
Speaker 2: I think this game is going to be a quarter.

1742
01:27:44,200 --> 01:27:45,559
Speaker 1: I don't know. You're not going to put that team,

1743
01:27:45,800 --> 01:27:47,639
Speaker 1: any of these, either of these teams away in one

1744
01:27:47,720 --> 01:27:51,200
Speaker 1: quarter unless you, like I said earlier, if you come

1745
01:27:51,200 --> 01:27:53,760
Speaker 1: out and beat and he went like fifty one to

1746
01:27:53,840 --> 01:27:59,479
Speaker 1: three against the Patriots this week, they won't want any

1747
01:27:59,479 --> 01:28:01,400
Speaker 1: part of another game with you. In two weeks, they'll

1748
01:28:01,439 --> 01:28:03,599
Speaker 1: be ready to call it quitch. You may get that quarter,

1749
01:28:03,880 --> 01:28:05,400
Speaker 1: You may be able to put that game away in

1750
01:28:05,400 --> 01:28:08,639
Speaker 1: a quarter, not this one. And the Jets. The Jets

1751
01:28:08,680 --> 01:28:12,040
Speaker 1: aren't going anywhere. They're gonna muster up enough attitude to

1752
01:28:12,040 --> 01:28:14,479
Speaker 1: come in and try and fight hard against this team.

1753
01:28:15,000 --> 01:28:19,120
Speaker 1: So there's that you're not gonna win. These games are

1754
01:28:19,160 --> 01:28:20,840
Speaker 1: not gonna be easy. They never are. That's why you

1755
01:28:20,840 --> 01:28:23,120
Speaker 1: stay sharp when you're playing them. Even if they are

1756
01:28:23,600 --> 01:28:26,400
Speaker 1: opponents with bad records, you're gonna stay sharp. If you

1757
01:28:26,439 --> 01:28:28,479
Speaker 1: go in and play well against them, you're gonna sharpen

1758
01:28:28,520 --> 01:28:30,479
Speaker 1: your sword and you're gonna be ready to go. So

1759
01:28:30,560 --> 01:28:33,479
Speaker 1: I'm yeah, they're gonna play as much as they need

1760
01:28:33,520 --> 01:28:35,639
Speaker 1: to to put these games away. Don't don't think these

1761
01:28:35,680 --> 01:28:38,479
Speaker 1: are gonna be you know, high school homecoming games.

1762
01:28:39,080 --> 01:28:41,240
Speaker 2: Tim on the tweet sheet says, get on top early

1763
01:28:41,280 --> 01:28:42,920
Speaker 2: and make them one dimensional. D line should have a

1764
01:28:42,960 --> 01:28:45,000
Speaker 2: field day if they keep them in long down and distance.

1765
01:28:45,040 --> 01:28:47,719
Speaker 2: Patriots O line is a weakness of theirs. Good test

1766
01:28:47,760 --> 01:28:51,559
Speaker 2: for our front seven with a mobile quarterback. Jeremy says,

1767
01:28:51,800 --> 01:28:54,360
Speaker 2: not letting up will be the biggest factor. We cannot

1768
01:28:54,400 --> 01:28:56,799
Speaker 2: play down to the competition, which has been a common

1769
01:28:56,840 --> 01:28:59,720
Speaker 2: thing with this team. I'lbe it a divisional foe. I

1770
01:28:59,760 --> 01:29:02,920
Speaker 2: want to see Josh munching on sunflower seeds eight minutes

1771
01:29:02,960 --> 01:29:03,840
Speaker 2: into the third quarter.

1772
01:29:04,320 --> 01:29:08,760
Speaker 1: I'll sign up for that after halftime. Uh but you

1773
01:29:08,760 --> 01:29:10,920
Speaker 1: know you got to You gotta go into this game

1774
01:29:11,360 --> 01:29:14,960
Speaker 1: thinking that it's ultra important to play well right out

1775
01:29:14,960 --> 01:29:17,440
Speaker 1: of the gate. Don't show up flat.

1776
01:29:18,280 --> 01:29:21,519
Speaker 2: No, because then that prolongs what should have been taken

1777
01:29:21,560 --> 01:29:22,639
Speaker 2: care of right from the jump.

1778
01:29:22,720 --> 01:29:24,519
Speaker 1: You don't get to rest if you don't show up

1779
01:29:24,520 --> 01:29:25,759
Speaker 1: bright eyed and bushy tailed.

1780
01:29:26,320 --> 01:29:29,440
Speaker 2: Bill's Mania says. Bill's offense will continue to be explosive,

1781
01:29:29,439 --> 01:29:31,360
Speaker 2: although there is nothing for Josh to prove in his

1782
01:29:31,479 --> 01:29:33,920
Speaker 2: MVP case against the Patriots since he locked up MVP

1783
01:29:34,000 --> 01:29:37,080
Speaker 2: when he beat the Lions, and then Christopher says, biggest

1784
01:29:37,080 --> 01:29:39,680
Speaker 2: factor Khalil Shakir because he scores a touchdown in all

1785
01:29:39,720 --> 01:29:41,840
Speaker 2: of our game. Shakiir should get two or three against

1786
01:29:41,840 --> 01:29:45,000
Speaker 2: the Patriots. Maybe should be an interesting one. We'll talk

1787
01:29:45,080 --> 01:29:48,160
Speaker 2: more about it tomorrow. We got Greg Cosel coming in

1788
01:29:48,160 --> 01:29:51,200
Speaker 2: from NFL Films and the OBL Friday fan mailbag. We'll

1789
01:29:51,200 --> 01:30:05,360
Speaker 2: see you tomorrow at one
