18
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,480

Speaker 1: you talking about. It's just you know, that's where it goes.

23
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 1: This is um a game that's big for both teams.

24
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 1: It's you know, we were talking today, we had this

25
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 1: thing trying We're trying to line this out. It's not

26
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's gonna nice. It's not gonna

27
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna start. It's not gonna work out. We're

28
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 1: trying to get Tremaine Edmunds and Terrell Edmunds on the

29
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 1: show at the same time. Tremaine Edmunds, middle linebacker for

30
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. Are you know number one? He's a

31
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: first round draft pick of the Bills last year, middle

32
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: of the defense. Everybody in Buffalo knows him. He's got

33
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: two brothers who also play in the NFL, and incidentally,

34
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: they played for the Steelers. We'd love to get him on.

35
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: Why are you writing it off like it's not gonna happen.

36
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 1: I've seen this movie before. It's hard to get two

37
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: PR departments in sync with practice schedules, and so you know,

38
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 1: and we're trying to get We're trying to get Tremaine on,

39
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: and the trouble seems to be on our end, you know.

40
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: So it's funny most of the time when people get

41
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: their show started and promote what's coming up, they tell

42
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,160

43
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: eppisode where you've just said, here's what's probably not going

44
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,119
Speaker 1: to happen on today's show, right, Is that the problem

45
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:14,959

00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: up today. It's hard not coming up something that really

50
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: the show. First time since the first time since nineteen

51
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,560

Speaker 1: when he was with the Dolphins, and we played together

57
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,120

Speaker 1: I will not I'll do more Pittsburgh Steelers study but

106
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 1: odd night as they celebrate the eighties and in particular

107
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: the Late Great Memorial Auditorium. You saw a lot of

108
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: it on the instigators. If you're watching on MSG a

109
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 1: moment ago, you've heard about it by now, and maybe

110
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,040
Speaker 1: you've seen the video of what they've done, putting T

111
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 1: shirts all over the fields and doing the color of

112
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: steam of the odd, the gold seats, the red seats,

113
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 1: the blues, and up top of the oranges. An amazing site.

114
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 1: I wish they would make all the seats those colors.

115
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: I have such a dish registered me when I saw

116
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: that video last night, that's the odd that looks like

117
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: the odd. I mean I identified with that. Steve, you've

118
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: been in the aut I basically I basically grew up

119
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 1: in the odd going to basketball games, braves games, college

120
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: basketball games, going to boxing, the events I wrestling rest.

121
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 1: I didn't go too many wrestling sabers of course. Um.

122
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 1: I had the dinner before the night before my wedding

123
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 1: in the odd at the Director's Club. Oh yes, yes,

124
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: I grew up in the aud And just to see

125
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 1: that color scheme reminds me of the odds so much

126
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: that you're gonna have a great time down there tonight,

127
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 1: I know they have. They got like twenty players who

128
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 1: played in the odd eighties players on hand for tonight's game.

129
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: To Greek fans, you're gonna have a great time. What

130
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: a great I would never listen. I would never say

131
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: anything to disparage the odd. But it it's like it

132
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: a little bit like like it's a classic car and

133
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 1: you go back and say, look out, you know, remember that,

134
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: you know, and you look back, and then you get

135
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 1: into the thing and you sit down and you look around.

136
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: It's like, wow, there's not much in here. That's the

137
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 1: way the odd what it was great? I mean he

138
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: has the memories and the atmosphere and you got to

139
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: think about it, you know, back in you know, in

140
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: the seventies when you know, the steel was cranking out,

141
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 1: and the guys, you know it would go down there

142
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 1: and that place on a Friday for a hockey game.

143
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: Way I understand it, it was pretty raucous. It was

144
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 1: always Rockets in the seventies on Fridays. Um, the Sabers

145
00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: would play on Sundays and during the week. I think

146
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,159
Speaker 1: that's the way it went, right. The Braves head Saturdays

147
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: or no, the college basketball had Saturdays. The Braves head

148
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 1: Friday nights and the Sabers head Sunday nights. And it

149
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: was amazing. I went to Bison hockey games Ahl Bison

150
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 1: hockey games in the odds before the roof was even raised. Yeah,

151
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: I went to college basketball games there. I love the

152
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: odd I think that's gonna be just to see that

153
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: color scheme again today just kind of ignited some nostalgic feelings.

154
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: And the way they did it as amazing, right, just

155
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 1: graping T shirts on the back. RMSG viewers are watching now.

156
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 1: They got a time lapse of them putting T shirts over.

157
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 1: The reason they colored the seats that they put T

158
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: shirts over the back of each seat, and it makes

159
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: the whole place jump with the old Odd colors. And

160
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: you remember coming down those gold seats. If you get

161
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: tickets in the golds, you'd come down and the whole

162
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 1: section would like rattling and rattle all the way down there.

163
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: And because they were all those fold out, because they'd

164
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 1: had to pull those seats back so the circus could

165
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: get in, right, so everything can get yeah, so everything

166
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 1: can get in. Man, it was so cool. Great building. Great,

167
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 1: It was a great old building. It looked great from

168
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: the outside to that big old granite ball. Yeah with

169
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: the pillars. Yeah, that's great. You know what we used

170
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 1: to when I was and this is high school age,

171
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: I guess we go to Braves games or college basketball

172
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 1: Lord Savers games, and uh, you would park and it

173
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 1: was always winter and it was always the coldest spot

174
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: in the universe. That the walk from your car to

175
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:19,239
Speaker 1: the front door the Odd. I'm talking about ridiculously cold

176
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 1: and windy. You're right next to the lake. You would

177
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 1: you would freeze on the walk from your car to

178
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 1: the Odd. And it was amazing. And you walk open

179
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 1: the doors of the Odd. And I always tell this,

180
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 1: the overwhelming memory I have of the Odd smell smell.

181
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 1: It smelled like beer and hot dogs on the floor

182
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: all over and I'm sure they were. It was the

183
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 1: smell of the odd is what I can can vividly

184
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 1: remember it. Anyway, you're gonna have fun. They're playing Nashville

185
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,839
Speaker 1: Predators tonight. Fun down there, ye always, yeah, it's always fun.

186
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 1: We got tickets a few years ago. I think it's

187
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: our third full year. I think so third four Yeah, yeah,

188
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: seventeen eighteen o nineteen, and I had had them way

189
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,319
Speaker 1: back in the day when they were and I don't know,

190
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: I can't remember remember when it was, Um, did you

191
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,199
Speaker 1: have season tickets in the odd? Now? Okay? Because a

192
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 1: couple of players were a couple of the old guy

193
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,079
Speaker 1: like Ken Hole. Did you know ken't Hole? And he

194
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 1: grew up in Mississippiy didn't have an ice rink in

195
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:13,719
Speaker 1: that state, right, So he comes up and all of

00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 1: a sudden, he's a huge fans got him, he said,

197
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: I got a great spot. He was above one of

198
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:21,599
Speaker 1: the one of the tunnels, I guess, I guess, And

199
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: he had his seats were right behind the top of

200
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 1: the tunnel, so he had like a place to set

201
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 1: his beers and stuff and a good and he liked

202
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:29,559
Speaker 1: the end shot you know the first row of the

203
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 1: gold you were basically on top of the ice. Yeah,

204
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 1: you were just sitting there and looking over the ice. Right.

205
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 1: He loved it, and so he when he left. In fact,

206
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: when he left, I bought his tickets for the rest

207
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,199
Speaker 1: of the season. At the end of the season, his

208
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 1: last season as a bill, they took off, went back home,

209
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 1: and he goes, you can, you can have the seats.

210
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: I bought him from him. So great he started to

211
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 1: be a great celebration tonight part of the Savers anniversary

212
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 1: celebration of fifty years in tonight, odd night. I remember

213
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 1: remember two. I was in there once or twice, the

214
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 1: old locker room of the Sabers. Yeah, I had the

215
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 1: Spirals faircase going up, which was weird. Yeah, right, that

216
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: place was. It was unique. It was like one of

217
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,599
Speaker 1: a kind, one of a kind. You say whatever you

218
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:13,719
Speaker 1: want about all these stadiums, and let mean you go

219
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:17,320
Speaker 1: down if you think about something, they're they're all gone

220
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: now I mean right, But three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh,

221
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 1: the stadium in Riverfront Stadium in Cincinnati, Um was it?

222
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 1: There was another one. There were three stadiums. They were

223
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 1: all identical. Philadelphia veteran stadium. They were all round stadiums

224
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,320
Speaker 1: for baseball and football. They were all identical, and they

225
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 1: looked all the same. Yeah, not not not the ones

226
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 1: here in Buffalo. Many they were all. They were all

227
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 1: one of a kind, one of a kind. And remember

228
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,560
Speaker 1: I told you this too, the walkways of the odd

229
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 1: when you come out of there and he walked out

230
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 1: and you go down and then turn around and walked down.

231
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 1: It was all just a hallway. There were no open concourses.

232
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 1: You were like a rat and amaze and you would

233
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 1: go like walk down the hallway, turn a corner and

234
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: walk right back down the exact same hallway, just you know,

235
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 1: lower it was. It was great, amazing. It's amazing facility. Yep. Anyway,

236
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 1: that's tonight Sabers and Nashville Predators were headed to Heinz

237
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 1: Field in Pittsburgh for the Bills and Steelers on Sunday.

238
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 1: We'll leave on Saturday. You've you've done games there. We

239
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 1: should talk about that atmosphere a little bit. It's um.

240
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 1: I've been one game as a spectator there and several games.

241
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 1: Is a broadcaster. It's not my favorite, Steve, and it's look,

242
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 1: it's functional and it's great for the fans. I think

243
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 1: it's like eighteen nineteen years old. Now. The coolest part

244
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 1: about Hinsfield and went as a took my young boys

245
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 1: once to a playoff game after the bill scenion. It

246
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 1: was season was over. Um. It's all steel, right, Steel City, Pittsburgh.

247
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:47,839
Speaker 1: And when they get going, when it gets moving, that

248
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: you know, gets shaken down there. It literally shakes the

249
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,319
Speaker 1: top deck, the upper deck will kind of wave a

250
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,559
Speaker 1: little bit with cheering and stuff. It shakes up the

251
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:58,599
Speaker 1: first time. You're like, whoa, is this an earthquake or what.

252
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:00,839
Speaker 1: But it's just the way it's built and the steel

253
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 1: is a little bit flexible. It's not you know, port

254
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,559
Speaker 1: kind not brittle. Yeah that's cool. And it's noisy there.

255
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 1: And yes they play what renegade by sticks in the

256
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,719
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, all right, whatever, that's what makes you go.

257
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 1: But it's it's not one of my favorites, you know.

258
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 1: And it's a difficult place to play for both home

259
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: teams and visitors, right they the turf is never right.

260
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 1: They just put a new turf a couple of weeks ago,

261
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,199
Speaker 1: but it's never quite right there. I think because of

262
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,679
Speaker 1: its proximity, it is right on the banks of the river,

263
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 1: you know, the Three Rivers. It's right on the banks

264
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 1: of think. They put it to good use. All high

265
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 1: school championships are played there. It's always been a natural

266
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 1: grass field. They play a ton of high school football

267
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 1: playoff games on it late in the year, and they

268
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 1: it has been notoriously difficult to keep it in good shape.

269
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 1: They've switched the turf out, they've thrown a couple of

270
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: times over give given the circumstances of the season, they'll

271
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 1: change the turf out twice and maybe and the second

272
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 1: time being right before the playoffs or whatever, and it's

273
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 1: you know, doesn't work out real well. It's shaky. So

274
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 1: they've had some issues in the past. But it is

275
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:09,560
Speaker 1: a it is a cold stadium because it's a little old.

276
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,079
Speaker 1: It's a little bit like a college stadium in that

277
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 1: it doesn't go all the way around. There are gaps

278
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:18,839
Speaker 1: in the stands, so they go all the way to

279
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: the ground in the gas between the stand and there's

280
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 1: the wind whips right through there. I mean, it's like

281
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 1: you're playing in a field kickers home and away, struggle

282
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 1: kicking towards the river. Right. Yeah, as you watch on

283
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 1: TV at the right side. Now, I love the way

284
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: it looks. I mean, it sits right there. You look,

285
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 1: you can see the skyline of the city, the Tower

286
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 1: of Learning right there from pitt University. I mean, it's

287
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 1: all right there. It's a beautiful little setting, no question

288
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:41,719
Speaker 1: about it. And you know down in that valley and

289
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,560
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh is in when he come through that Eisenhower Tunnel.

290
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,559
Speaker 1: Spectacular view. So it kind of fits in with that.

291
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 1: But man to play football and it's it's it's rough

292
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,839
Speaker 1: and plus ay, it's a good home crowd there. You

293
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,440
Speaker 1: gotta tip your hat to the Steeler fans are great fans.

294
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:57,719
Speaker 1: Great fans were there with the Bills, I want to

295
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 1: say two thousand and seven, I believe they played there

296
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,680
Speaker 1: that year and they were introducing the Steelers All Time team.

297
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 1: Oh my god. You should have heard the reaction from

298
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 1: those fans halftime, right, but you know, halftime usually people

299
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,199
Speaker 1: are out grabbing hot dogs and beers. Everybody stayed in

300
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,839
Speaker 1: their seat. They're introducing one by one the Steelers All

301
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 1: Time team and it was it was deafening the roar.

302
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: How many guys were on the oh there were, I

303
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 1: don't know, I can't remember. They were fifty or so.

304
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 1: They there was some one by one and I'll bet

305
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 1: you have fifty. There's probably what twenty, Yeah, a dozen

306
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 1: at least. Right, Yeah, it was amazing. It was. And

307
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 1: again I'm not a Steelers fan. I'm not a Patriots

308
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 1: fan either, but you do appreciate the legacy of that

309
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: franchise and kind of the family nature of that franchise,

310
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 1: right with the Rooney family right still in charge after

311
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 1: all these years, and the stories about the Rooneys and

312
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 1: the Steelers, right the guy was was a gambler, Art

313
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 1: Rooney was a gambler. Right then they went and lose

314
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 1: the team and a horse racing bets. I think that

315
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 1: was part of it. That amazing story. It is. It's

316
00:14:55,040 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 1: it's the Odyssees and his Dan, No Art junior was

317
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 1: it Art? You know, it's Dan, the guy who passed away.

318
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 1: He was the ambassador to the Ireland for three or

319
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 1: four years, just in the last decade and before he passed,

320
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 1: and I had a number of conversations with him. One

321
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 1: he was just a tremendous guy and you know how

322
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 1: to say, you know, you can imagine a guy like

323
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 1: Art Rooney his son being you know, kind of iconic figure.

324
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 1: He is in Pittsburgh. He had plenty of time to

325
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 1: come and talk with you. Oh yeah, He's make time

326
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 1: for you. He said, yeah, what else are you going on?

327
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 1: You know? And it was it was just great. There's

328
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 1: a real example for me, and I was. It was

329
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 1: a thrill for me to meet and talk with him

330
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 1: and have a number of conversations with him. It's a

331
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 1: great place. We look forward to it Sunday now. The

332
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 1: Bills looking forward to it, our Bills, fans looking forward

333
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 1: to it. That's the topic of today's show. By the way,

00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 1: we're gonna go to practice Chris Brown in a couple

335
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,560

338
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:02,160

00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 1: on this, and I get it. We're trying. I mean,

340
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 1: I'm I'm good with it. I'm not great with it.

341
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 1: So I'll just start again not promoting the show. I know, comfience,

342
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 1: My compidence is absolutely shot today. I'll just admit it.

343
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: This is broadcasting one on one, my man. Here's what's

344
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 1: not on the show today? And here's why the Twitter

345
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 1: pole stinks, so tune in. That's basically what you're saying

346
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 1: the Twitter pole. The impact of this being a Sunday

347
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: night game, right you know it? Two weeks ago it

348
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 1: was eventually flexed out the Big flex move to Sunday

349
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 1: Night Football, Bill's first appearance on Sunday Night Football in

350
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 1: twelve years. What's the impact of the game being on

351
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 1: Sunday Night Football? What do you think? That's our Twitter pole.

352
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 1: We offer a couple of choices for you on the

353
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 1: Twitter pole. Is it an advantage for the Bills still

354
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 1: have something to prove? Perhaps? Is it an advantage for

355
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 1: the Steelers? They are twenty eight and nine in primetime

356
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 1: at Hinesfield. That's pretty good. Who cares? Is an option?

357
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 1: Messes up my pregame ritual? When are you gonna have

358

00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 1: untill eleven? Thirty other ten percent? Well, let's go through it.

361
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 1: What's the impact of the Pittsburgh game being shifted to

362
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,479
Speaker 1: Sunday night football? Right now? In the early going here

363

Speaker 1: thirty nine percent of you say its advantage for the Bills,

364
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,840

00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,479
Speaker 1: years since their last Sunday night football appearance. Number one

367
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,159
Speaker 1: you say it's an advantage to Pittsburgh. They're always on

368
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 1: primetime and they're usually pretty good twenty eight nine and

369
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 1: primetime at at hines Field. And twenty one percent of

370
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:36,119

371
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,240

00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 1: I know you think about you think about this week.

386
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:16,520

Speaker 1: we got Friday, we got Saturday. We gotta wait three.

389
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 1: It feels like it should be tonight, right Thursday and

390
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 1: right sitting Sunday turns into the baton death March waiting

391
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 1: for the game the way you're like, I gotta eat breakfast, lunch,

392
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 1: and dinner. Then I got I mean it takes the

393
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 1: game starts at like eight thirty. Oh my gosh, I'm

394
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 1: already thinking, okay, I'll probably get a nap in Sunday.

395
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 1: When should I do the nap? And I'll tell you

396
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 1: what my advice is. If if you can find a

397
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 1: spot in the if unless you're one of those guys

398
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:47,680
Speaker 1: gotta watch all these games, and if you find that

399
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 1: spot window and get a good go to sleep nap,

400
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:53,920
Speaker 1: not just not just a little catnap, go in, lay

401
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,120
Speaker 1: down and go to sleep. Oh yeah, when you play

402
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 1: at night, yeah yeah, and it's early sleep. You kind

403
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 1: of get up, go do some stuff. Then you try

404
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,159
Speaker 1: and get back and get to sleep really early in

405
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 1: the day, get some like two hours of good sleep,

406
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,399
Speaker 1: you know, between like noon to two or eleven to

407
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 1: one or maybe even you know, the later you get,

408
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 1: the harder it is to bounce back from it. But

409
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 1: you gotta get some extra sleep in so you you know.

410
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 1: But yeah, how that is. You know, you're you play

411
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 1: the game, you win or lose. You play the game,

412
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 1: you get over, you get out of the locker room,

413
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 1: or like what one am wheels up at one am

414
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 1: and you're flying, You're you're you feel you feel like

415
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 1: it's ten in the morning. You're like ready to go

416
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 1: for the entire day. Yeah, you're all jacked up from

417
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:36,160
Speaker 1: the game, particularly if you win. You go home. Everybody's

418
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: been in bed for nine hours already and they're like

419
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,680
Speaker 1: sleep after games. Oh, I know, it seems like it's

420
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,959
Speaker 1: it's worthless effort. I am totally with you, and there

421
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 1: were times when you just I couldn't you stay up?

422
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,119
Speaker 1: What impact does the game being a night have on you?

Speaker 1: Give us a call eight O three five fifty toll

424
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 1: free one eight eight five fifty two five fifty responses

425
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,920
Speaker 1: on the tweet sheet brought to you by Cargan Moving Systems,

426
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 1: the official movers of the Full of Bills, and a

427
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 1: good one right out of the box. What impact does

428
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:04,639
Speaker 1: the game being at Sunday Night Football have on you?

429
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,679
Speaker 1: Thomas tweetson, I wanted it to be at one pm

430
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,920
Speaker 1: because I'll have five cackling ladies making cookies at my

431
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:15,440
Speaker 1: house at that time. He wanted the game, I guess

432
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 1: as a diversion from the cackling lady. M. Kristen tweetson.

433
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,399
Speaker 1: I say other, I think the unfortunate reality is that

434
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 1: it's another national judge fest on Allen with that, says said,

435
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 1: I'll be wearing my Alan jersey and hoping that he

436
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,400
Speaker 1: lights it up again like you did against Dallas. There

437
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 1: is that, yeah, and you know it is a national

438
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 1: showcase for the Bills. And by the way, their next

439
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:37,399
Speaker 1: game at New England is going to be a nationally

440
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: televised game, right Satty. I think they've requitted themselves pretty

441
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 1: well when the Nationals, and including at Dallas, you know

442
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 1: two weeks ago when the national spotlight was on him.

443
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,360
Speaker 1: I don't have that fear that they're gonna somehow embarrass

444
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 1: themselves on national TV. I really don't. Yeah, I don't either,

445
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 1: but it is a tough place to go in and win,

446
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 1: particularly this Steeler's edition. The thing that gives you a

447
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 1: little bit of hope is the fact that they're playing.

448
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 1: You know, Devlin Hodges, he's a fourth They brought him

449
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 1: back after releasing him at the beginning of the season. Now,

450
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 1: they've played very well, but they've scored one touchdown or

451
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 1: seven touchdowns in their last six games. They're not scoring

452
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 1: a lot of points. They are they are the Bills

453
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 1: almost the Bills exaggerated. Their defense is spectacular, all kinds

454
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:27,120
Speaker 1: of turnovers, all kinds of sacks and that, and their

455
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 1: offense is even worse than the Bills. Their defense is spectacular.

456
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 1: Their offense is even worse than the Bills. Now, the

457
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 1: Bills defense hasn't been getting the turnovers and sacked, but

458
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:38,879
Speaker 1: they've been playing. They're allowing fewer points. And the Bill's

459
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:41,479
Speaker 1: offense up until this last week was playing a little better.

460
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 1: But you know, last week they struggled against a good defense.

461
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: These are two teams that are alike. I don't know

462
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 1: what the over under is. Man Bet the under Yeah right.

463
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,159
Speaker 1: I mean this could be like one of those single

464
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 1: digit games, you know, a six to three game. I mean,

465
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 1: these teams are good defensively, and I think if you're

466
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 1: looking for one thing that the Bills can do, and

467
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 1: I've said it a million times this week, man, just

468
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:05,880
Speaker 1: don't turn the ball over and help them. Just don't

469
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,119
Speaker 1: help that offense, you know, And they're pretty good about that.

470
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:09,920
Speaker 1: Bills don't turn it over. Not No, they haven't in

471
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 1: the last six eight games. It's been rare. All Right,

472
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 1: we break and we're coming back with Chris Brown. Will

473
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 1: go right to practice. He's on the sidelines inside the

474
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,919
Speaker 1: ad Pro Swords Training Center watching the Bills Thursday practice.

475
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 1: Chris Brown. When we return. The update from this Thursday

476

479
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 1: We're gonna head out there in a second. Chris Brown

480
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 1: gonna join us from the sidelines. Let's take a quick call.

481
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 1: Let's work in a quick call here before we go

482
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,360
Speaker 1: to Brownie, Let's go do a John on lockboard. Hello, John,

483
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show. You're on the here. Thanks guys,

484
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,680
Speaker 1: appreciate you taking my call. Returning call, I just wanted

485
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:01,399
Speaker 1: two different things. I want to say. I want to

486
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 1: get your take on, Say, if by the time we

487
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 1: get to the Jets week, we're in the wild card slot,

488
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,120
Speaker 1: but we're done for the AFC East win in the division.

489
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 1: I wanted to say, what do you guys think do

490
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,880
Speaker 1: you think we should rest any players for the playoffs

491
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:18,400
Speaker 1: since you know, I know it's an important game, divisional game,

492
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:20,680
Speaker 1: but at the end of the day, you know, won't

493
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 1: make any difference in our seating positions or anything like that.

494
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 1: If it doesn't make if it doesn't make any difference

495
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 1: in the seating, like if you can't move from you know,

496
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 1: if you can't if the sixth wildcard can't beat you

497
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 1: for the fifth wildcard or vice versa, I would say, yeah,

498
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 1: there's a probably a good chance they will risk some people,

499
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 1: probably most importantly Josh, Yeah, that's that's exactly because you know,

500
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 1: I don't want, you know, if it's a game meeting less,

501
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 1: you don't want to risk you know, him getting hurt

502
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 1: or anything like that for you know, once we get

503
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 1: into dance eat our most important players. I also wanted

504
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 1: to say, if you guys do get the Tremaine, you know,

505
00:23:56,600 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 1: the Edmund's brothers. Altogether, I wanted you to ask, how

506
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,879
Speaker 1: do they figure out which person will get snubbed by

507
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:09,120
Speaker 1: their parents for jerseys? You mean, what will the parents wear?

508
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 1: Is there what you mean? Yeah? Because you know both

509
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 1: mom and dad? Are me going? Three brothers? You know

510
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 1: which one's gonna you know? Are they not gonna be?

511
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,199
Speaker 1: I thought I actually wrote about this on the website.

512
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 1: If I were the father Farrell Edmonds, I'd wear a

513
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 1: Dolphins jersey. Right, you played with the Dolphin. He's probably

514
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 1: got some old throwback Dolphins jersey. Good. That's a good call. Yeah,

515
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:28,639
Speaker 1: thanks for your call, John, that's set out and how

516
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 1: to practice. Chris Brown, Bills Inside or Buffalo Bills dot

517
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 1: Com standing by on the sidelines inside the Head Pro

518
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 1: Sports Training Center where the Bills Thursday practice is underweight.

519
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 1: Good afternoon, Chris, Thanks for joining us. You're keeping an

520
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,440
Speaker 1: eye on who's in who's out right. Yeah, so we've

521
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,119
Speaker 1: got a couple of extra guys not practicing today. The

522
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 1: good news is Core Allegiate is back after missing yesterday's

523
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 1: practice with a knee injury no sign of tie and

524
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 1: Secky still out with the ankle injury. And then in

525
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 1: addition to that, Jerry Hughes and Lorenzo Alexander, who were

526
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 1: both sitting out yesterday practice with rest, are sitting again today,

527
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,239
Speaker 1: So hopefully that is just continued rest for the two

528
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 1: of them. We do know that last week's game was

529
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 1: probably the most physical of the season and that might

530
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 1: contribute be contributing to their extended rest this week, knowing

531
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 1: that this week is probably going to be another physical game,

532
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:20,680
Speaker 1: and then Jordan Phillips also sitting today. Whether that's for

533
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:22,680
Speaker 1: rest or not, we'll have to wait until the Thursday

534
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 1: updated injury report comes out. What do you think the

535
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:29,119
Speaker 1: atmosphere is around the offense. I mean that this is

536
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 1: certainly a week where they're going to have their work

537
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 1: cut out for them again going in against another AFC

538
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,880
Speaker 1: North defense, the Pittsburgh Steelers playing the way they are. Yeah,

539
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I think the challenge kind of goes full

540
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 1: bore from front to back on the offensive side of

541
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 1: the football. Number One, for the offensive line, can you

542
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:49,120
Speaker 1: win at the line of scrimmage against the physical defense?

543
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:52,200
Speaker 1: They had struggles with it last week, they had struggles

544
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:54,720
Speaker 1: with it in week four against New England. So can

545
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 1: they rise up and match the physical intensity at the

546
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:02,439
Speaker 1: line of scrimmag and win the majority of those battles.

547
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 1: And then secondarily, it falls on Josh Allen to get

548
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 1: to his answers a little bit quicker, and it falls

549
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 1: on this receiving corps to not only make plays by

550
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 1: catching the ball with consistency, but also winning against what

551
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 1: is going to be another physical secondary. And I asked

552
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 1: coach about that specifically yesterday and he said, yeah, that

553
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,119
Speaker 1: you know, when we talk about how we have to

554
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:27,680
Speaker 1: learn from the losses that we endure. I asked him,

555
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 1: is having answers against the physical secondary on the to

556
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 1: do list? And he said, yes, it's one of the

557
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 1: things on the list. And when you will roll out

558
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 1: what is a diminutive receiving corps in terms of stature,

559
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:43,920
Speaker 1: you know when Isaiah McKenzie, John Brown and Cole Beasley, Yeah,

560
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 1: you've got to come up with answers for a physical

561
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:49,199
Speaker 1: secondary who no doubt is going to see what they

562
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:51,399
Speaker 1: saw from the Ravens on film and the success that

563
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 1: they had in press coverage and knocking them off the

564
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 1: routes and disrupting the timing of the passing game. You

565
00:26:57,880 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 1: better believe they're going to come out and try to

566
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 1: do the same thing. Well, one thing I didn't want

567
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:04,200
Speaker 1: to ask him. We've kind of haven't even addressed it

568
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 1: all during the week. Allan still got his ankle wrapped

569
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 1: and taped. He's not on the injury report. He seems

570
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,119
Speaker 1: to be moving around. Okay. There was some talk on

571
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 1: our show that by Suth Palestonio on Monday. He thought

572
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:19,880
Speaker 1: that ankle really bothered Josh Allen in the second half

573
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 1: of that game against Baltimore. Is there any lingering issues

574
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 1: with that? I know it's still taped. Yeah, I mean

575
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:29,200
Speaker 1: I think it's a pain tolerance thing at this point.

576
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 1: And you know, Josh really hasn't missed any practice reps.

577
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:35,959
Speaker 1: The games are too important now, so if you got

578
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 1: every there aren't too many guys here without a tweak

579
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 1: or some kind of issue that they're not battling through.

580
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,399
Speaker 1: So I don't anticipate it's going to affect him at all.

581
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 1: And with his left foot, I think he feels it less,

582
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 1: especially in a dropback situation, because his foot that he's

583
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 1: sticking into the ground to deliver the football is his

584
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,359
Speaker 1: right foot, being a right handed thrower. Chris Brown on

585
00:27:57,480 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 1: the sidelines of Bill's practice today, He's Bills inside or

586
00:27:59,880 --> 00:28:02,400
Speaker 1: a Buffalo Bills dot Com. All right, so you mentioned maybe,

587
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 1: you know, facing up against a physical secondary the Steelers have,

588
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:08,639
Speaker 1: just like Baltimore had last week. And you mentioned with

589
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 1: us Monday about the prospects for Duke Williams maybe providing

590
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 1: some element of physicality and size to that diminutive Buffalo

591
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 1: receiving corps. What do you think, Chris, is that, I mean,

592
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:21,479
Speaker 1: they're not going to preview that move, but you think

593
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 1: that's possible you might play on Sunday. Yeah, I'm not

594
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 1: optimistic about it really, to be quite honest with you,

595
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 1: I think we might be looking at the same receiving

596
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:32,399
Speaker 1: corp again this week that was active last week. I

597
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:34,680
Speaker 1: don't have a whole lot of optimism that that's going

598
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,920
Speaker 1: to change, I think. And the reason why is, I

599
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 1: think towards the latter stages of last week's game, the

600
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 1: coaches and I believe the guys on offense felt they

601
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 1: were beginning to find answers to combat the blitz, the

602
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 1: heavy blitz coming from the Ravens. They instead of just

603
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 1: going eleven personnel, one back one tight end, they went

604
00:28:57,120 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 1: eleven personnel spread. They spread the feet completely outwent empty

605
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:05,440
Speaker 1: backfield a good deal in the latter stages of that game.

606
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 1: And if you look back at the video from that game,

607
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 1: Josh was finding his answers faster because the defense has

608
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 1: to kind of reveal what they're doing when you spread

609
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 1: the field in that fashion. So I wouldn't be surprised

610
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 1: if they stick with the same personnel, but maybe go

611
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 1: empty a good deal more. Josh only had seventeen completions

612
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 1: in the whole game, seven of them came from the

613
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 1: empty backfield set. You know, and I know you know this.

614
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 1: I just want to make it clear. I think you'll agree. Yet,

615
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh defense is really good, higher rated really than

616
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 1: Baltimore's defense, but kind of a totally different approach, Like

617
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 1: I'm not expecting sixty seven percent blitzes or anything, right,

618
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 1: they get a pretty good passion. Yeah, they only blitz

619
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:46,960
Speaker 1: about thirty five percent of the time and most of

620
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 1: their stuff comes off the edge from t J. Watt

621
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 1: and Bud Dupree. Not to say that the guys inside

622
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 1: aren't good at winning in their own right, and when

623
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 1: the pocket breaks down, they'll they'll corral somebody and get

624
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 1: a sack of their own. I mean, Cameron Heyward's only

625
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 1: a year or so removed from a twelve and a

626
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 1: half sack season himself. But yeah, I mean I think

627
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 1: the way they're effective in putting pressure on the quarterback

628
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 1: is a little bit different than the way Baltimore is. Now.

629
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 1: They may look at the film and say, Wow, they

630
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 1: really got Josh Allen off his game by throwing a

631
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 1: lot of people at him at the line of scrimmage.

632
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 1: Maybe we should do a little bit more of that.

633
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 1: Even if they do decide to turn to that a

634
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 1: little bit more, I certainly don't think you're gonna get

635
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 1: up into the fifties and sixties in terms of percentage

636
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 1: of blitz like the Ravens did last week. Yeah, the

637
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 1: secondary of Pittsburgh's a little bit different than Baltimore's as well.

638
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 1: I mean, you've got Minka Fitzpatrick back there, who's a

639
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:41,400
Speaker 1: true free safety, and they kind of like to leave

640
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 1: him there. It's a different philosophy in the back end, right, Yeah,

641
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 1: I would agree with that, But men, are they opportunistic?

642
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 1: I mean, there's only two games this season for the

643
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 1: Steelers where they haven't had at least two takeaways, and

644
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 1: I'm not talking to two, it's two takeaways, three, four.

645
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 1: I mean, this team isn't only good at interceptions. They're

646
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 1: second in the league and force fumbles. So they punch

647
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 1: the ball out with alarming regularity, and they tend to

648
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 1: pounce on more of them than their opponents. So that's

649
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 1: why they've got thirty three takeaways in just thirteen games.

650
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 1: I mean, that's a that's an eye popping number. That's

651
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 1: a number you see at the top of the league

652
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 1: at the end of the season, not after thirteen games played.

653
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 1: With Chris Brown, Bills Insider Buffalo Bills dot Com, he's

654
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 1: on the sidelines inside the field house Thursday practice underway.

655
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 1: Let's flip it over to defense for a second. Chris

656
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 1: Juju Smith Schuster for the Steelers full practice participant yesterday.

657
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 1: Does does he get the tradevious white treatment? Do you

658
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 1: think this Sunday? Does he does he merit that? Do

659
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 1: you think? Yeah? Hard hard to say, coming off a

660
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 1: three week absence with a knee injury. Maybe he's a

661
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 1: little rusty. Maybe you don't feel you can afford to

662
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 1: commit that much attention to him because there are other

663
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 1: guys that make plays. There's five players with thirty receptions

664
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 1: on this Steeler's roster, due in part to the fact

665
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 1: that there have been absences from the line up here

666
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 1: and there over the course of the season. Smith Schuster

667
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 1: among them, but James Connor looks like he's going to

668
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 1: be back as well. That's another guy with thirty receptions

669
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 1: out of the backfield for Pittsburgh. So I think Deonte

670
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 1: Johnson is a rookie they like a lot. He hasn't

671
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:17,480
Speaker 1: been alarmingly consistent, but he's a potential game breaker. And

672
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 1: James Washington averages eighteen yards a reception this season, so

673
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:24,720
Speaker 1: you know, another high draft choice for them. So I

674
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 1: don't think I'd be surprised if they commit completely to

675
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:32,840
Speaker 1: having Trydevia Shadow Smith Schuster this week. All right, Brownie,

676
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 1: Thanks Chris Brown, Bills Insider Buffalo Bills dot Com. On

677
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 1: the field of practice field with Lorenzo Alexander, Jerry Hughes

678
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 1: apparently sitting out today. They got rest days yesterday, Corey

679
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 1: Llegiate back at practice today, Tie and Seki not at

680
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 1: practice today. The Steelers had, as I said, Smith Schuster

681
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 1: and as Brownie, said James Connor back on a full

682
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 1: speed basis yesterday. So you know, a week ago we're

683
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 1: all set up for that big showdown with Ravens. This

684
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 1: is almost the equal really, and you know here the

685
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 1: Bills at the fifth seed, the Steelers at the sixth seed.

686
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 1: They're a game behind Buffalo, but their home. It's Sunday night.

687
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 1: It's a big matchup and an important matchup really for

688
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 1: playoff positioning. See yeah, that as the guikos on, this

689
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 1: game kind of gets bigger to me, telling you, man,

690
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:22,280
Speaker 1: you're if the bigger the game is the you know,

691
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 1: if you're playing well, you keep getting bigger ones um,

692
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 1: And that's where we're at right now. It's interesting too,

693
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 1: if you win a game like this, you get into

694
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 1: the playoffs, and let's say, you know, you have like

695
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 1: a two percent chance of winning the division and you're

696
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 1: playing the team that's winning the division this week. How

697
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 1: do you approach that if it's not going to help

698
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 1: you that much? And you got to count on the

699
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 1: Dolphins to beat the Patriots. If you beat the Patriots

700
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 1: and and they lose one of their next two games,

701
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:55,360
Speaker 1: you might still win the division. You know, do you

702
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 1: throw all your eggs into that basket. Or do you

703
00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 1: go into a little bit of a show and say, listen,

704
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 1: we're gonna play you again and four weeks in the

705
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 1: AFC Championship you know that? Do you show them nothing?

706
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. Do you start to posture

707
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 1: for the playoffs and not show things going to New

708
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:10,360
Speaker 1: England next week? Yeah, if you got a chance to

709
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:14,879
Speaker 1: win the division, you go all out. You got a chance, right, Yeah,

710
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 1: we're kind of chance. You're all out to get a

711
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:22,719
Speaker 1: potential hard like a three percent chance. Yeah, I think so, absolutely, Yeah,

712
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 1: I mean it's it might be worth it. I mean

713
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:26,759
Speaker 1: maybe the pitch, maybe they won't feel like that. I

714
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:31,800
Speaker 1: mean they've got Cincinnati and Miami left along with Buffalo.

715
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 1: Now Buffalo, you've got I think all Bills fans really

716
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:36,799
Speaker 1: believe as a team, we got a chance to beat

717
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 1: even in Foxborough this year. Uh, certainly that would be

718
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 1: a nice you know, I don't know, feather in your

719
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:45,800
Speaker 1: cab trophy on the you know, something to put on

720
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:47,640
Speaker 1: the man. You finally, you know, kind of broke through

721
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:49,719
Speaker 1: against the Patriots when they were playing you know, their

722
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:52,480
Speaker 1: best guys and it wasn't a week seventeen throwaway game

723
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 1: for them. Um yeah, I get all that, but sit

724
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 1: the Patriots have to lose two of their last three

725
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 1: and Buffalo has to win out in order to win

726
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:09,239
Speaker 1: the division. Right sounds right? Yeah, so that's a big ask,

727
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:12,839
Speaker 1: although they've lost three out of the last five. We'll see,

728
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 1: we're gonna take a break. We're gonna talk more about

729

Speaker 1: to a play on Sunday Night Football. That is the

747
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:21,400
Speaker 1: topic of our Twitter poll today. What impact does the

748
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:24,320
Speaker 1: Bills Steelers game being on Sunday Night Football? What impact

749
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 1: does that have? And we offer a couple of suggestions

750
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 1: on the Twitter poll today. One of them is it's

751
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 1: an advantage to the Buffalo Bills, who are trying to

752
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 1: prove something nationally. Is it an advantage to the Steelers

753
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:41,480
Speaker 1: who are twenty eight and nine in primetime at Hinfield?

754
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 1: Are you looking at it? Like? Who cares us messing

768
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 1: How are you two doing? Man, it's been a while.

769
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:24,719
Speaker 1: I feel like we haven't connected this year. So I know,

770
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:27,439
Speaker 1: I'm sorry if I've disregarded some of your texts at time,

771
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 1: but I just can't keep up with the freaking world

772
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:33,919
Speaker 1: of technology and texts and emails and social media. Holy crab,

773
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,399
Speaker 1: it never end. Don't apologize because Murph and I don't

774
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:40,280
Speaker 1: want to be on the show either. So you're bouncer.

775
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 1: You got this Sunday night game coming in. It's really now.

776
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:44,839
Speaker 1: We're in the last three games of the season right

777
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:46,759
Speaker 1: and there, and there's some big ones out there, and

778
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:49,160
Speaker 1: this may be as far as the AFC goes, this

779
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:52,400
Speaker 1: is as big a one as there is this weekend. Yeah, definitely,

780
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:55,239
Speaker 1: And I'm super pumped about the game this weekend. I

781
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 1: really am. I mean to me, listen, I'd rather watch

782
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:01,160
Speaker 1: this type of game than I would rather watch the

783
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:04,239
Speaker 1: forty nine Ers Verse Saints or the Rams Chiefs from

784
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:07,360
Speaker 1: last year where it's fifty points or you know, forty

785
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:11,759
Speaker 1: eight forty six. This, to me is what playoff December

786
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:16,960
Speaker 1: football is all about. Hard hitting, pressure packed every play

787
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:21,120
Speaker 1: Coaches have to manage the game just right because if

788
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:23,960
Speaker 1: you make one little mistake that could be the difference

789
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:26,439
Speaker 1: in the football game. You know, those other games there's

790
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:28,080
Speaker 1: more wiggle room because you're just like, oh, well I

791
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:29,680
Speaker 1: messed it up. Don't worry, We'll go right down to

792
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:32,320
Speaker 1: score again. No big problem. No, this game could be

793
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:36,160
Speaker 1: thirteen ten, sixteen, thirteen, nineteen seventeen. It's gonna be something

794
00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:39,239
Speaker 1: like that. It's two top of the line defenses to

795
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:44,600
Speaker 1: top of the line defensive minds and Tomlin and Sean McDermott,

796
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:46,919
Speaker 1: and I'm really excited to watch it. Chris, I'm glad

797
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:48,759
Speaker 1: to hear you say that, because I do think there's like,

798
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 1: not a prevailing opinion, but an opinion out there that

799
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:54,279
Speaker 1: unless you're scoring thirty five points a game, you're not

800
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 1: a legitimate playoff contender, right You must hear that, you

801
00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 1: must feel that. And I think legitimate contenders one hundred percent,

802
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:03,880
Speaker 1: they are no doubt about it. And I mean the

803
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:06,880
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills just what's being built there right now. I mean,

804
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 1: first off, not only a legitimate playoff contender, you wouldn't

805
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 1: want You don't want to see them in the playoffs.

806
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 1: I don't care who it is. I mean, if it's

807
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:16,279
Speaker 1: Kansas City they end up having to go to, or

808
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 1: Houston or whoever it is. Man, I wouldn't want to

809
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:23,360
Speaker 1: see Buffalo Bills in their running game and Sean McDermott

810
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:25,919
Speaker 1: and his ability to game plan on defense and shut

811
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:28,320
Speaker 1: you out that way. And then deal with Josh Allen

812
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:31,400
Speaker 1: and his running ability and that you know rifle he

813
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 1: has for a right arm. That's scary. You know, the

814
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 1: Bills are really close to They're a really good team.

815
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:39,359
Speaker 1: They're really close to being a great team. I think

816
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:41,360
Speaker 1: you know, this offseason they get just a weapon or

817
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:44,040
Speaker 1: two more around Josh Allen in that offense, you guys

818
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:46,640
Speaker 1: could be special up there. I really do believe that.

819
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 1: And yeah, you're, without a doubt in the mix for

820
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:52,279
Speaker 1: one of the better teams in the AFC. I mean,

821
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:54,440
Speaker 1: as we know right now, Baltimore is the only team

822
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 1: that stands out in the AFC. I think everything else

823
00:39:57,239 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 1: is still up for grabs. Well, one of the things

824
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:02,960
Speaker 1: about this game that's that stands out is the quarterback

825
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:06,440
Speaker 1: of the Steelers. He started the season out of the league. Uh,

826
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:10,359
Speaker 1: and now they're winning with him. Their defense has been spectacular.

827
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:14,160
Speaker 1: They're thriving on turnovers and uh and sacks. Yeah, and

828
00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 1: it's a spectacular defense to watch. What does you know,

829
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:20,960
Speaker 1: what does Devlin Hodges have to do against this Bill's

830
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:24,680
Speaker 1: defense in order to give them enough points to win? Yeah? Well,

831
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:26,640
Speaker 1: I think the big thing is, you know, and this

832
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:29,239
Speaker 1: goes for both quarterbacks in this matchup, just don't make

833
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:31,719
Speaker 1: the bad fatal mistake, right, I mean, you know, one

834
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:35,160
Speaker 1: holding them the ball too long, strip sack fumball or

835
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:37,919
Speaker 1: oh there's pressure and I'm just gonna throw the ball

836
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:40,560
Speaker 1: here and you know, at least to an interception short

837
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:43,400
Speaker 1: field type of thing. Uh. You know, I mean that

838
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:46,719
Speaker 1: those could ultimately be game winning moments for one of

839
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:49,799
Speaker 1: the teams. The thing deviln Hodges has done since he's

840
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 1: taken over for um um you know, um, what the

841
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:58,439
Speaker 1: heck is Maudolph think of his name? Yeah, is he's

842
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:00,680
Speaker 1: just a better thrower than Mason it off, you know,

843
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:04,000
Speaker 1: Mason Ruop. They were compromised in what they could do offensively.

844
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 1: They really they had to invent an offensive three and

845
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:11,120
Speaker 1: four yard passes because anything over ten to fifteen yards,

846
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:13,600
Speaker 1: I mean it was it was very empty. If he

847
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:16,440
Speaker 1: was going to hit the target. There where Devlin Hodges

848
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:19,080
Speaker 1: at least, yes, taking care of the football. But when

849
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:22,239
Speaker 1: he sees one on one matchups or oh, there goes

850
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:24,920
Speaker 1: a twenty five yard crossing route down the field, he

851
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:27,239
Speaker 1: can put it in there and throw it accurately into

852
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:29,560
Speaker 1: where You know, as you mentioned, Steve, they don't need

853
00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:32,239
Speaker 1: a whole lot their defense is special. They just need

854
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 1: a quarterback who can manage the game and then make

855
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:38,880
Speaker 1: three or four throws when they present themselves through the

856
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:41,680
Speaker 1: course of the game to get them over the hump.

857
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:43,920
Speaker 1: And that's what they didn't have with Mason Rudolph. He

858
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 1: just he had moments of, oh, there's the throw to

859
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:48,080
Speaker 1: be had, Oh he threw it behind the guy by

860
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:50,400
Speaker 1: four feet, or oh he threw an interception and the

861
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:53,120
Speaker 1: guy was wide open. And that's really what Devlan duck

862
00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:55,040
Speaker 1: Hodges is brought to the Steelers on the Line with

863
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:57,960
Speaker 1: Chris Simms from NBC Sports part of Football Night in America.

864
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:00,600
Speaker 1: There are seven o'clock pregame show on Sunday Night. And Chris,

865
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 1: you spent some time with the Bills quarterback Josh Allen

866
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:05,960
Speaker 1: Beck in May. I think, and I wonder, based on

867
00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:08,319
Speaker 1: the interview and what you heard from Josh, then how

868
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:11,040
Speaker 1: would you grade his progression since then? How has his

869
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:13,799
Speaker 1: season gone pretty much what you expected? Or or has

870
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:16,040
Speaker 1: he exceeded it? Maybe? Well, yeah, you know, I think

871
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:19,600
Speaker 1: it's gone about what I expected. I got a lot

872
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:22,400
Speaker 1: of respect and like hope for Josh Allen. I mean,

873
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:25,680
Speaker 1: Josh Allen has superstar traits. I mean, you guys have

874
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 1: seen him. I mean, he's he's as big as any

875
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:32,439
Speaker 1: quarterback in football not named Cam Newton. He can run

876
00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:36,200
Speaker 1: as good as any quarterback in football not named Lamar Jackson.

877
00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:41,160
Speaker 1: So he's really special that way. He's still refining his skills,

878
00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:42,960
Speaker 1: and I think the big thing I've seen him really

879
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:45,840
Speaker 1: just the maturity over the last few weeks is you know,

880
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:49,279
Speaker 1: again just not making the bone head throws. You know,

881
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 1: there was a few I think earlier in the year

882
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:53,720
Speaker 1: where we went come on, Josh, come on, you're smarter

883
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:55,919
Speaker 1: than that. You know that, you know, don't throw into

884
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:58,360
Speaker 1: the quadruple coverage just because you think you have the

885
00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:00,200
Speaker 1: greatest arm in the history of the planet. You can

886
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:03,319
Speaker 1: fit it in there. I think he's realized and through

887
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:06,279
Speaker 1: just you know, playing football. You know, Okay, I don't

888
00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:08,640
Speaker 1: need to make these plays. This is not Wyoming. I

889
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:10,759
Speaker 1: have a team around me that you can we can

890
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:12,840
Speaker 1: win a game, you know, twenty to seventeen if we

891
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:16,480
Speaker 1: have to, And he's just realizing what you know, just

892
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:18,560
Speaker 1: to play up to that line too. Oh, I'm going

893
00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:20,760
Speaker 1: to take a chance here. But it's not too crazy.

894
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:23,920
Speaker 1: And I think he's done a very good job of

895
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:26,880
Speaker 1: kind of refining his skills. He's still not perfect, but

896
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:29,400
Speaker 1: I have liked what I've seen from Josh Allen, no

897
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:31,840
Speaker 1: doubt about it. What about that you mentioned that he

898
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:34,400
Speaker 1: can run as well as anybody not named Lamar Jackson.

899
00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:37,560
Speaker 1: Do you think that should be or could be a

900
00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:41,640
Speaker 1: weapon that comes out this Sunday night. I wouldn't be shocked.

901
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:43,840
Speaker 1: I think this is the time of a year where

902
00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:47,560
Speaker 1: you know, again, hey, it's you're trying playoff seating. You

903
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:49,800
Speaker 1: want to stay in the playoffs. In general, we're not

904
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:52,680
Speaker 1: saving Josh Allen to the long haul of the season anymore.

905
00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:56,640
Speaker 1: Maybe just a few quarterback design runs, you know this

906
00:43:56,880 --> 00:43:59,280
Speaker 1: is you know, any little advantage you can get against

907
00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:02,400
Speaker 1: this great steal or defense. Yeah, I wouldn't mind seeing that.

908
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:05,279
Speaker 1: And then you know within that Sean McDermott, Brian dave Ball,

909
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:07,360
Speaker 1: who's doing a great job. You know, they just they

910
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:08,920
Speaker 1: got to stay in his ear, like, hey, listen, we

911
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:11,160
Speaker 1: don't need you lowering your shoulder to take on Bud

912
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 1: Dupree or do anything like that. Run get what you

913
00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:16,840
Speaker 1: can if there's nothing there, get down, don't take a

914
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:19,200
Speaker 1: big shot. I mean, he is the future of the franchise.

915
00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:21,680
Speaker 1: And like I said, I think, you know, you get

916
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:23,840
Speaker 1: a few more weapons around Josh Allen. He's got the

917
00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:26,279
Speaker 1: potential to really be something special. That's what I got

918
00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:29,080
Speaker 1: for you, Chris Great Stevo's defense that you just reference

919
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:32,400
Speaker 1: a really good, almost great Buffalo defense. So which offense

920
00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:34,520
Speaker 1: you have more faith in in this game on Sunday night?

921
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:36,840
Speaker 1: I got more faith in the Buffalo Bills. And I mean,

922
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:38,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you right now, I'm gonna pick Buffalo

923
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:40,839
Speaker 1: to win the game on Sunday Night Football. I am.

924
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:42,759
Speaker 1: You know, I don't think it'll be pretty, but I

925
00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:46,080
Speaker 1: think it'll be like a nineteen seventeen, sixteen thirteen game.

926
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:48,800
Speaker 1: You know. I basically just look at it and go, Okay,

927
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:52,520
Speaker 1: the defenses, it's a push and offenses. I'm gonna go.

928
00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:56,080
Speaker 1: You know, I'm gonna take Josh Allen and John Brown

929
00:44:56,160 --> 00:45:00,480
Speaker 1: and Cole Beasley and you know, the Buffalo Bills game

930
00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:02,560
Speaker 1: just to be a little bit more than what the

931
00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:04,560
Speaker 1: Steelers got to offer on that side of the ball,

932
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:08,320
Speaker 1: to where the Buffalo Bills eat this one out. I do.

933
00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:10,279
Speaker 1: I think I think this game is made for them.

934
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:12,560
Speaker 1: I really do, as long as there's just no you know,

935
00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:15,759
Speaker 1: fatal mistakes like we talked about, and you know, you

936
00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:19,719
Speaker 1: don't get overwhelmed by the Steelers. Even sometimes punting, sometimes

937
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:22,280
Speaker 1: taking a sack is the best thing to do against

938
00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:25,680
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers. And I think that, you know, Josh

939
00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:27,920
Speaker 1: Allen and McDermott and day Ball will do a good

940
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:30,520
Speaker 1: job of managing the game and stay in Josh Allen's

941
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:32,759
Speaker 1: ear that way, all right, So the Steelers kind of

942
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:34,920
Speaker 1: climb back into the playoff picture, and they can if

943
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:37,000
Speaker 1: if they win this game Sunday night, they've got the

944
00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:39,880
Speaker 1: exact same record as the Buffalo Bills. How much credit

945
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:43,440
Speaker 1: does Mike Tomlin deserve for how he has kept this

946
00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:46,920
Speaker 1: together and rebuilt it on the fly and giving them

947
00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:49,120
Speaker 1: a chance to climb into the playoffs. Yeah? He, I mean,

948
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:51,799
Speaker 1: he's he deserves to be. I think him and Kyle

949
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:55,359
Speaker 1: Shanahan and you know, maybe John Harball Coach of the Year.

950
00:45:55,480 --> 00:45:58,160
Speaker 1: I would really say Mike Common and Kyle Shanahan should

951
00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:01,000
Speaker 1: probably be at the top of that. But I mean,

952
00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:03,200
Speaker 1: come on, you know, there's nothing to break write home

953
00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:06,680
Speaker 1: about on that offense right now. They win games through defense.

954
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:10,600
Speaker 1: That's Mike Tomlin's specialty. Uh, there's no Big Ben, there's

955
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:13,759
Speaker 1: no Levy on Bell, there's no Antonio Brown. You know,

956
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:16,680
Speaker 1: it's to me it speaks a lot. Who you know,

957
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:18,680
Speaker 1: I played under Mike Tomlin when I was in Tampa.

958
00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:20,960
Speaker 1: He was down there as a dB coach. He's got

959
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:24,960
Speaker 1: a special way of communicating, motivating. Players love him, and

960
00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:27,680
Speaker 1: they've kind of like adapted his attitude, which is kind

961
00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:30,520
Speaker 1: of like in your face up yours, we're gonna out

962
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:32,680
Speaker 1: hit you. And outplay you. And that's a lot of

963
00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:34,680
Speaker 1: way Sean McDermott is still and that's why I think

964
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:36,440
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a lot of fun. Hey, Chris Tommy

1112
00:53:54,960 --> 00:53:57,000

00:54:16,880 --> 00:54:19,319
Speaker 1: went and bought a couple. Yeah, yeah, no big deal.

1119
00:54:19,400 --> 00:54:22,440
Speaker 1: You know, I'm supported these guys. It's kind of it's

1120
00:54:22,480 --> 00:54:26,080
Speaker 1: kind of what I've started, like last year. In this year,

1121
00:54:26,120 --> 00:54:27,719
Speaker 1: I was like, you know what, I need to get

1122
00:54:27,760 --> 00:54:30,000
Speaker 1: some more jerseys. I can't keep wearing Jerry uses all

1123
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:32,000
Speaker 1: the time because that was like the first one that

1124
00:54:32,080 --> 00:54:34,600
Speaker 1: I had. So I started getting all these guys jerseys

1125
00:54:34,600 --> 00:54:37,080
Speaker 1: and everything, and I've gotten a couple of players. I've

1126
00:54:37,120 --> 00:54:39,799
Speaker 1: gotten some Game War jersey from some guys, you know. Yeah,

00:54:39,960 --> 00:54:43,200
Speaker 1: so it's been Yeah. Those are real nice, very nicer

1128
00:54:43,280 --> 00:54:44,759
Speaker 1: than the ones that we used to wear. Right do

1129
00:54:44,800 --> 00:54:47,560

00:54:50,200 --> 00:54:53,680
Speaker 1: attict full of stuff? No, no, I wants your most

1132
00:54:53,880 --> 00:54:59,239
Speaker 1: valuable souvenir from your playing days. Um, forget the rings

1133
00:54:59,280 --> 00:55:01,839
Speaker 1: and all that. Yet, it was probably my my ct

1134
00:55:02,000 --> 00:55:10,200
Speaker 1: I brace that I wore my Ctira exactly. That knee Yeah,

1135
00:55:10,360 --> 00:55:14,040
Speaker 1: that was yeah, that was like, yeah, game warm since

1136
00:55:14,120 --> 00:55:16,759
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty six when I heard my knee really yeah,

1137
00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:19,680
Speaker 1: same race, one knee brace, one knee braks. I had

1138
00:55:19,760 --> 00:55:21,520
Speaker 1: a backup that I never used. You can sell that

1139
00:55:21,600 --> 00:55:26,239
Speaker 1: put a little thirm through college. Yeah, CTI brace and

1140
00:55:26,640 --> 00:55:29,680
Speaker 1: it was blue I wore I had. Yeah, I started

1141
00:55:29,760 --> 00:55:33,280
Speaker 1: wearing eighty six. So you hadn't same brace, that same brace.

1142
00:55:33,400 --> 00:55:36,280
Speaker 1: See me, I had two different braces for each knee. Really,

1143
00:55:36,400 --> 00:55:38,000
Speaker 1: I just yeah, I didn't need knee brace for each

1144
00:55:38,040 --> 00:55:41,080
Speaker 1: knee twice right? Oh no, no, I mean that. But

1145
00:55:41,320 --> 00:55:44,359
Speaker 1: my pride, most prized possession is that knee brace. Yeah,

1146
00:55:44,600 --> 00:55:47,480
Speaker 1: that's amazing. Hall of Famer is in studio with us.

1147
00:55:47,600 --> 00:55:50,440
Speaker 1: It was a good game, and I got yelled at

1148
00:55:50,880 --> 00:55:53,399
Speaker 1: on Tuesday on this show for saying that, but look,

1149
00:55:53,440 --> 00:55:55,680
Speaker 1: the Bills did not play well on offense especially, But

1150
00:55:55,719 --> 00:55:57,160
Speaker 1: I found it to be really, I'm not saying it's

1151
00:55:57,160 --> 00:55:58,800
Speaker 1: a moral victory, but it was a good game. It

1152
00:55:58,840 --> 00:56:00,759
Speaker 1: was a good game to watch, wasn't it. Nobody's saying

1153
00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:03,600
Speaker 1: it's a more victim. I think, you know, No, I don't.

1154
00:56:04,040 --> 00:56:06,279
Speaker 1: I wouldn't. I wouldn't have said the tasker might have said,

1155
00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:09,759
Speaker 1: but no. I just think it's another step in where

1156
00:56:09,840 --> 00:56:12,080
Speaker 1: these guys are and how good of a football team

1157
00:56:12,120 --> 00:56:14,439
Speaker 1: they can be. I mean, they did the best job

1158
00:56:14,480 --> 00:56:17,320
Speaker 1: of anybody on Lamar Jackson this year. And you know

1159
00:56:17,560 --> 00:56:20,239
Speaker 1: at a time where when you look at the game,

1160
00:56:20,680 --> 00:56:24,120
Speaker 1: they're dbs. They're really physical, real physical, and we got

1161
00:56:24,239 --> 00:56:27,520
Speaker 1: kind of small guys. It was a bad matchup. And

1162
00:56:27,840 --> 00:56:30,560
Speaker 1: you take this week with Pittsburgh, it's a better matchup

1163
00:56:30,600 --> 00:56:33,200
Speaker 1: for us because those guys aren't as physical, but they

1164
00:56:33,280 --> 00:56:36,839
Speaker 1: got a challenge. You know, he's not physical, Fitzpatrick back

1165
00:56:36,840 --> 00:56:38,960
Speaker 1: there in the safety. Those guys are not physical. But

1166
00:56:39,760 --> 00:56:43,800
Speaker 1: Peters and what Jimmy Smith, I mean, they they really

1167
00:56:43,960 --> 00:56:46,360
Speaker 1: put the clamp down on our wilde receivers. And so

1168
00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:49,840
Speaker 1: now as an offensive coordinator, if you do get a

1169
00:56:49,920 --> 00:56:52,839
Speaker 1: chance to play those guys again, what do you do? Right?

1170
00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:54,800
Speaker 1: But now this week coming up with that, But I

1171
00:56:54,920 --> 00:56:58,080
Speaker 1: seen I seen some matchups in there. Well I saw

1172
00:56:58,120 --> 00:57:01,200
Speaker 1: a single Tary lined up Earl Thomas and that was

1173
00:57:01,280 --> 00:57:04,200
Speaker 1: a mismatch. YEA, yeah, we win. We win that nine

1174
00:57:04,280 --> 00:57:06,560
Speaker 1: out of ten times. And Thomas has lost a step

1175
00:57:06,640 --> 00:57:09,360
Speaker 1: for two. He's never really been a cover guy anyway.

1176
00:57:09,400 --> 00:57:11,480
Speaker 1: He's been always kind of a free state and strong state,

1177
00:57:11,680 --> 00:57:13,960
Speaker 1: yeah thumper or whatever. So but he was put in

1178
00:57:14,040 --> 00:57:17,040
Speaker 1: a situation where I think we went five wise. Singletary

1179
00:57:17,200 --> 00:57:19,800
Speaker 1: was outside and it was a play that I saw

1180
00:57:19,880 --> 00:57:22,439
Speaker 1: that was on the goal line. I mean Singletary game

1181
00:57:22,520 --> 00:57:24,960
Speaker 1: a move and Thomas didn't know which way to go? Yeah,

1182
00:57:25,040 --> 00:57:26,920
Speaker 1: which way to go? You know, you think about how

1183
00:57:26,960 --> 00:57:28,840
Speaker 1: this game stacks up in like last week was a

1184
00:57:28,880 --> 00:57:31,240
Speaker 1: different matchup, and that's what you know this you take

1185
00:57:31,280 --> 00:57:33,480
Speaker 1: it a step further. What you know, casual fans will

1186
00:57:33,600 --> 00:57:35,800
Speaker 1: want to but Bill's fans listen to the show will

1187
00:57:35,840 --> 00:57:39,880
Speaker 1: probably appreciate. It was a matchup that favored the Ravens

1188
00:57:39,960 --> 00:57:42,080
Speaker 1: last week. This week it's different. And the matchup in

1189
00:57:42,160 --> 00:57:44,320
Speaker 1: favor of the Steeters defense this week is upfront. They're

1190
00:57:44,360 --> 00:57:47,720
Speaker 1: two end guys. Oh yeah, with JJ Watt and uh

1191
00:57:48,440 --> 00:57:51,520
Speaker 1: but Dupree. That's the matchup that Steeters gotta think, Okay,

1192
00:57:51,520 --> 00:57:53,680
Speaker 1: we gotta win that and win it right. So and

1193
00:57:53,800 --> 00:57:58,840
Speaker 1: those things and those matchups are what leads to tipped passes, interceptions, turnovers.

1194
00:57:59,400 --> 00:58:01,520
Speaker 1: So that's a matchup. Now, now it's gonna be on

1195
00:58:01,640 --> 00:58:05,440
Speaker 1: Dion Dawkins and Cody Ford, you know, kickstep out of

1196
00:58:05,480 --> 00:58:08,080
Speaker 1: there and get and hold the hedge down for jobs. Right.

1197
00:58:08,160 --> 00:58:10,440
Speaker 1: So that's where the matchup is and that's what changes

1198
00:58:10,480 --> 00:58:14,000
Speaker 1: the way the game looks between the Ravens game last

1199
00:58:14,000 --> 00:58:16,040
Speaker 1: week and the Pittsburgh game this week. That's why it's

1200
00:58:16,040 --> 00:58:18,800
Speaker 1: gonna look a lot different. And that's what the yeah

1201
00:58:19,040 --> 00:58:21,280
Speaker 1: day ball has to decipher what they're gonna do. Yeah,

1202
00:58:21,280 --> 00:58:23,400
Speaker 1: because I don't I don't think they're probably not going

1203
00:58:23,440 --> 00:58:26,480
Speaker 1: to see uh cover zero all the time, right like

1204
00:58:26,640 --> 00:58:29,440
Speaker 1: like the Baltimore Ravens did last week. There'll be a

1205
00:58:29,520 --> 00:58:32,840
Speaker 1: different type of formation defense that they have on that side.

1206
00:58:32,920 --> 00:58:35,600
Speaker 1: So yeah, but I tell you what, now, I get

1207
00:58:35,680 --> 00:58:39,439
Speaker 1: my hats off to to Corey Um, to Cody Ford

1208
00:58:39,840 --> 00:58:41,760
Speaker 1: and a deal. They've been playing well. He's good when

1209
00:58:41,800 --> 00:58:45,280
Speaker 1: they come up against something really good pass rushers. They've

1210
00:58:45,320 --> 00:58:47,880
Speaker 1: done well. They have done well. But these are two

1211
00:58:48,120 --> 00:58:51,919
Speaker 1: different breeds here. For t J. Watt, I mean it's

1212
00:58:52,520 --> 00:58:56,760
Speaker 1: you know, he's bring your lunch, lunch, the breakfast, dinner,

1213
00:58:57,080 --> 00:58:59,720
Speaker 1: and a little snack because he's coming full gore and

1214
00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:04,000
Speaker 1: all the time. Yeah. So but I but I do

1215
00:59:04,200 --> 00:59:07,200
Speaker 1: like this matchup better than I did last week. And

1216
00:59:08,440 --> 00:59:11,200
Speaker 1: I think with our defense and Steel has got a

1217
00:59:11,240 --> 00:59:12,840
Speaker 1: lot of guys that are injured, we don't know if

1218
00:59:12,880 --> 00:59:16,440
Speaker 1: they're gonna play or not. I mean, I've been on

1219
00:59:16,520 --> 00:59:19,760
Speaker 1: the James gonna play. I think Connor will play. Those

1220
00:59:19,840 --> 00:59:22,440
Speaker 1: two guys for sure. Their offensive lineman have been and

1221
00:59:22,480 --> 00:59:25,240
Speaker 1: their offensive lineman maybe guy's taking rests, like you know,

1222
00:59:25,320 --> 00:59:29,360
Speaker 1: like Lorenzo and Jerry Hughes today, they may have guys

1223
00:59:29,440 --> 00:59:30,920
Speaker 1: just kind of taken a couple of days off at

1224
00:59:30,960 --> 00:59:32,520
Speaker 1: this point of the season on their offensive lineman. They

1225
00:59:32,600 --> 00:59:34,760
Speaker 1: got a lot of offensive lineman listed, Yeah, a lot

1226
00:59:34,800 --> 00:59:37,240
Speaker 1: of offens. So I think, you know, with our up front,

1227
00:59:37,240 --> 00:59:40,280
Speaker 1: we're getting better, you know. I think, like I don't

1228
00:59:40,320 --> 00:59:42,560
Speaker 1: want to say who jersey I might wear this week,

1229
00:59:42,760 --> 00:59:45,720
Speaker 1: but it's on the defensive side because this guy's really

1230
00:59:45,760 --> 00:59:48,000
Speaker 1: picked up his game the last four or five weeks.

1231
00:59:48,040 --> 00:59:51,680
Speaker 1: You probably already figured it out. But for me now

1232
00:59:53,480 --> 00:59:57,200
Speaker 1: that was ed, could be, could be I don't know.

1233
00:59:57,280 --> 00:59:59,520
Speaker 1: For the first thing, I don't know yet. He's still

1234
00:59:59,520 --> 01:00:03,360
Speaker 1: a rookie. Yeah, has earned it. Thurman Thomas with a sermon,

1235
01:00:03,440 --> 01:00:06,520
Speaker 1: you mentioned, uh the zero blitz, no safeties back and

1236
01:00:06,800 --> 01:00:09,080
Speaker 1: the Ravens head a field day doing that. What is

1237
01:00:09,160 --> 01:00:11,440
Speaker 1: the right response for an offense when you see that?

1238
01:00:11,520 --> 01:00:13,880
Speaker 1: In in particular, what's the running backs? How can a

1239
01:00:13,920 --> 01:00:16,000
Speaker 1: running back help with that. What what do you do

1240
01:00:16,240 --> 01:00:19,360
Speaker 1: when you see that no safeties deep, everybody's single coverage?

1241
01:00:19,920 --> 01:00:21,640
Speaker 1: You spread them out right, That's what the builds it.

1242
01:00:21,800 --> 01:00:27,120
Speaker 1: I mean, that was probably the best idea at that time. Yeah,

1243
01:00:27,480 --> 01:00:29,160
Speaker 1: but I think at that point I think we might

1244
01:00:29,200 --> 01:00:30,720
Speaker 1: have got to it a little bit too late. Yeah,

1245
01:00:31,200 --> 01:00:33,600
Speaker 1: it might not have had enough plays in at that

1246
01:00:33,720 --> 01:00:35,680
Speaker 1: time to have an offense like that that you can

1247
01:00:35,800 --> 01:00:39,680
Speaker 1: run continuously throughout the second half or third quarter or

1248
01:00:39,720 --> 01:00:42,400
Speaker 1: whatever it might be. Um, but you know what I

1249
01:00:42,800 --> 01:00:44,360
Speaker 1: think now, when you really look at it, you have

1250
01:00:44,440 --> 01:00:46,640
Speaker 1: to look at those matchups and see what Devin Semtary

1251
01:00:46,760 --> 01:00:49,160
Speaker 1: can do coming out of the backfield. I think that's

1252
01:00:49,200 --> 01:00:51,800
Speaker 1: a big part of it. I don't know, because sometimes

1253
01:00:51,960 --> 01:00:55,640
Speaker 1: when when you're playing and you see a linebacker up

1254
01:00:55,880 --> 01:00:58,840
Speaker 1: that doesn't doesn't necessarily mean that he's coming on a blitz.

1255
01:00:59,200 --> 01:01:00,920
Speaker 1: He could have you in man to coverage to keep

1256
01:01:00,960 --> 01:01:04,160
Speaker 1: you back in the backfield. So Singletary has to understand

1257
01:01:05,440 --> 01:01:11,360
Speaker 1: the the situation at that time. If it's third and four,

1258
01:01:11,680 --> 01:01:14,200
Speaker 1: now you you could get the ball, they might blitz

1259
01:01:14,280 --> 01:01:16,280
Speaker 1: to keep you in. But those are things that he'll

1260
01:01:16,360 --> 01:01:19,640
Speaker 1: learn as he gets older. In the National Football League,

1261
01:01:19,680 --> 01:01:23,200
Speaker 1: and I think having a guy like um Frank goreback

1262
01:01:23,240 --> 01:01:25,200
Speaker 1: there really helps him a lot. But he'll still learn

1263
01:01:25,280 --> 01:01:28,240
Speaker 1: those situations. But I think, really, you know, he has

1264
01:01:28,280 --> 01:01:30,400
Speaker 1: to be the key and our tight ends. Man, we

1265
01:01:30,520 --> 01:01:33,880
Speaker 1: got some real talented tight ends on this squad here.

1266
01:01:33,920 --> 01:01:36,280
Speaker 1: How to use them? Gotta use them, Gotta use them.

1267
01:01:36,280 --> 01:01:39,760
Speaker 1: They gotta be able to get open and really catch

1268
01:01:39,840 --> 01:01:43,120
Speaker 1: the ball. Yeah, I mean, I you know, I love Knox.

1269
01:01:43,520 --> 01:01:45,440
Speaker 1: I love right. I think it's a great guy. But

1270
01:01:45,600 --> 01:01:47,480
Speaker 1: my friend takes me all the time and be like,

1271
01:01:47,680 --> 01:01:49,800
Speaker 1: oh I love him. Oh now I hate him. You know.

1272
01:01:50,120 --> 01:01:52,120
Speaker 1: It's like it's like that, you know, and he's a

1273
01:01:52,320 --> 01:01:54,760
Speaker 1: good enough athlete. Yeah, first, because you know he's a

1274
01:01:54,800 --> 01:01:57,480
Speaker 1: good enough athlete to where he can make a difference.

1275
01:01:57,680 --> 01:01:59,520
Speaker 1: I think the tight ends can make a difference. It's

1276
01:01:59,520 --> 01:02:01,640
Speaker 1: frustrating because you see him in one game. You know,

1277
01:02:01,680 --> 01:02:04,080
Speaker 1: he'll drop an easy one that could have been the

1278
01:02:04,120 --> 01:02:05,320
Speaker 1: first down, and then you see him make the one

1279
01:02:05,360 --> 01:02:07,160
Speaker 1: hand and grab the other side. I like to do

1280
01:02:08,440 --> 01:02:11,520
Speaker 1: you know, right, So yeah, that is frust to ask

1281
01:02:11,560 --> 01:02:13,680
Speaker 1: a young player. It's a young player of persistency is

1282
01:02:13,680 --> 01:02:15,240
Speaker 1: a hard thing to do week to week in the

1283
01:02:15,360 --> 01:02:17,480
Speaker 1: NFL week in the week NFL, and all depends on

1284
01:02:17,560 --> 01:02:19,720
Speaker 1: who's going on YouTube. You might have a veteran over

1285
01:02:19,760 --> 01:02:21,280
Speaker 1: there and he's a rookie and he point, I haven't

1286
01:02:21,320 --> 01:02:24,040
Speaker 1: seen everything yet, hadn't seen everything yet, so he's looking

1287
01:02:24,080 --> 01:02:27,320
Speaker 1: at some new formations or whatever with guy cover with

1288
01:02:27,560 --> 01:02:30,400
Speaker 1: Thala Famer or Thurmon Thomas Thurman. Our Twitter poll today

1289
01:02:30,920 --> 01:02:33,080
Speaker 1: deals with the fact that the game is Sunday Night

1290
01:02:33,160 --> 01:02:35,960
Speaker 1: Football right flexed out the Sunday Night Football. We'll ask

1291
01:02:35,960 --> 01:02:37,960
Speaker 1: you the question what's the impact of the game being

1292
01:02:38,000 --> 01:02:40,560
Speaker 1: on Sunday Night football? On the Twitter poll right now?

1293
01:02:40,800 --> 01:02:43,320
Speaker 1: And we've had a pretty good response to this, nine

1294
01:02:43,440 --> 01:02:46,480
Speaker 1: hundred thirty four votes. Thirty six percent of I responded

1295
01:02:46,480 --> 01:02:48,720
Speaker 1: and say the advantage goes to the Bills. They have

1296
01:02:48,840 --> 01:02:51,400
Speaker 1: something to prove. Thirty two percent of I responded and

1297
01:02:51,440 --> 01:02:54,360
Speaker 1: say Pittsburgh gets the advantage. They're great at home at

1298
01:02:54,440 --> 01:02:58,360
Speaker 1: Hinzfield in primetime twenty eight wins, nine losses. Twenty three

1299
01:02:58,400 --> 01:03:00,360
Speaker 1: percent say you know who cares? My old pre game

1300
01:03:00,600 --> 01:03:03,400
Speaker 1: routine is messed up. Ten percent say something else. This

1301
01:03:03,480 --> 01:03:05,920
Speaker 1: messes up your pre game, right, I mean right, you

1302
01:03:06,000 --> 01:03:08,200
Speaker 1: probably got a one o'clock road game routine that you

1303
01:03:08,320 --> 01:03:10,720
Speaker 1: go through, right, and now you can't do it this

1304
01:03:10,840 --> 01:03:14,840
Speaker 1: Sunday night. Yeah, I mean, are you awake Sunday? Absolutely

1305
01:03:15,000 --> 01:03:17,200
Speaker 1: watch every Sunday night game till eleven thirty twelve on

1306
01:03:17,280 --> 01:03:19,280
Speaker 1: an end. All depends on who's playing, all right, It

1307
01:03:19,400 --> 01:03:22,600
Speaker 1: all depends on who watched this one. Yeah. Yeah, like tonight,

1308
01:03:22,720 --> 01:03:25,760
Speaker 1: I might not watch Thuray night. I might not watch

1309
01:03:26,320 --> 01:03:29,440
Speaker 1: Baltimore Jets. I watched that. Oh my gosh, Yes, you're

1310
01:03:29,440 --> 01:03:32,720
Speaker 1: going to the hockey game. That's right, Yeah, I see, Um,

1311
01:03:33,720 --> 01:03:36,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go. It messes up my ritual. Yeah, I

1312
01:03:36,480 --> 01:03:37,960
Speaker 1: mean this should go back the old days when I

1313
01:03:37,960 --> 01:03:40,640
Speaker 1: didn't have a life, and you know, we were supposed

1314
01:03:40,640 --> 01:03:45,880
Speaker 1: to Sunday go to somebody house who has like a

1315
01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:48,720
Speaker 1: big movie theater that we're gonna watch the game all

1316
01:03:48,760 --> 01:03:51,840
Speaker 1: that want too. Yeah. Yeah. So now they've moved aparty

1317
01:03:51,880 --> 01:03:53,520
Speaker 1: from twelve to five, and so now I gotta go

1318
01:03:53,600 --> 01:03:56,320
Speaker 1: home and everything was playing, it was there. Yeah, it

1319
01:03:56,440 --> 01:03:59,840
Speaker 1: messes up everything thing, But I do get. I get

1320
01:04:00,080 --> 01:04:04,720
Speaker 1: that in Pittsburgh does play well at home in primetime,

1321
01:04:04,840 --> 01:04:07,320
Speaker 1: and we're tested. We got our heads, we got a

1322
01:04:07,560 --> 01:04:10,120
Speaker 1: couple of times, but that was what three Rivers, but

1323
01:04:10,240 --> 01:04:14,280
Speaker 1: still low. They still play well in primetime. And I

1324
01:04:14,400 --> 01:04:15,760
Speaker 1: have to give it up to Mike time. I think

1325
01:04:15,800 --> 01:04:18,080
Speaker 1: this has been one of his better coaching job this

1326
01:04:18,200 --> 01:04:19,960
Speaker 1: year with all the injuries that he's had. Oh have

1327
01:04:20,080 --> 01:04:23,800
Speaker 1: you really Okay? You're right? Yeah? So, um, it's a

1328
01:04:23,880 --> 01:04:26,120
Speaker 1: it's a big game for both teams. Yeah, sure, football,

1329
01:04:26,160 --> 01:04:29,320
Speaker 1: they're one game behind. Pittsburgh beats Buffalo. They jump ahead

1330
01:04:29,320 --> 01:04:31,160
Speaker 1: of Buffalo. They have the identical records, and they got

1331
01:04:31,200 --> 01:04:32,959
Speaker 1: the time break and they got the timebreaker. Yeah. Ahead.

1332
01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:35,240
Speaker 1: This is a huge game game. Buffalo goes to one

1333
01:04:35,320 --> 01:04:38,360
Speaker 1: hundred percent playoff probability down to eighty four if they lose,

1334
01:04:38,880 --> 01:04:41,720
Speaker 1: it goes that far down. Yeah wow, something like that. Yeah.

1335
01:04:42,280 --> 01:04:44,200
Speaker 1: You know what my favorite You guys talked about getting

1336
01:04:44,240 --> 01:04:45,840
Speaker 1: your heads beat in in Pittsburgh. But you know what

1337
01:04:45,960 --> 01:04:49,080
Speaker 1: game I really liked, uh the nineteen ninety two season.

1338
01:04:49,160 --> 01:04:52,240
Speaker 1: It was January nineteen ninety three, divisional playoff game. You

1339
01:04:52,360 --> 01:04:54,760
Speaker 1: just come off the comeback, the big comeback game, and

1340
01:04:54,800 --> 01:04:57,520
Speaker 1: you go to Pittsburgh without Jim Kelly and beat in

1341
01:04:57,600 --> 01:04:59,640
Speaker 1: twenty fourty three. That was a great win. That Bill

1342
01:04:59,720 --> 01:05:04,280
Speaker 1: cow was their head coach. Yeah, I was. I was

1343
01:05:04,880 --> 01:05:07,320
Speaker 1: you missed the Houston game because I had a hip

1344
01:05:07,720 --> 01:05:09,959
Speaker 1: and an ankle injury. But I played some. But Katy

1345
01:05:10,040 --> 01:05:12,600
Speaker 1: Davis got most of the most of the car the team.

1346
01:05:12,760 --> 01:05:14,720
Speaker 1: He led the team in rushing. Uh, yeah, it was.

1347
01:05:15,280 --> 01:05:17,080
Speaker 1: It was a great day for the Yeah, Mitch Fart

1348
01:05:17,120 --> 01:05:22,400
Speaker 1: caught a touchdown, Gardner caught a touchdown, and uh somebody, um,

1349
01:05:22,720 --> 01:05:26,080
Speaker 1: I can't remember who else cut James Lofton caught a touchdown, right,

1350
01:05:26,360 --> 01:05:29,480
Speaker 1: and uh, yeah that was a because I went back

01:05:29,560 --> 01:05:32,560
Speaker 1: and and uh the old sideline guy and the Rochester

1352
01:05:32,640 --> 01:05:36,320

Speaker 1: That was a great win at Pittsburgh. That was I

1358
01:05:49,080 --> 01:05:51,040
Speaker 1: choose to remember those games rather than the times and

1359
01:05:51,200 --> 01:05:52,920
Speaker 1: things didn't well. Yeah, two weeks and there were a

1360
01:05:52,960 --> 01:05:55,360
Speaker 1: couple of two weeks Monday nights down there where it

1361
01:05:55,440 --> 01:05:57,360
Speaker 1: was really rough in Pittsburgh. For you. They beat US

1362
01:05:57,440 --> 01:05:59,600
Speaker 1: fifteen to nothing in Pittsburgh. One time we had two

1363
01:05:59,680 --> 01:06:03,200
Speaker 1: defense some touchdowns. Really, I don't remember that. Oh my gosh,

1364
01:06:03,240 --> 01:06:05,560
Speaker 1: it was horrible. What was the game Bruce had the flu?

1365
01:06:05,720 --> 01:06:09,600
Speaker 1: That was a playoff game? Playoff game. But Jim got

1366
01:06:09,720 --> 01:06:11,520
Speaker 1: hurt in that game too, and we came back. Remember

1367
01:06:11,520 --> 01:06:13,600
Speaker 1: Alex van Pelt came into the game. I got through

1368
01:06:13,680 --> 01:06:18,240
Speaker 1: from that game. It's just no, it was just Strawberry.

1369
01:06:18,680 --> 01:06:21,920
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my gosh, it hurt for three months

1370
01:06:21,960 --> 01:06:24,760
Speaker 1: after that game. No, but I'm I'm I'm excited about

1371
01:06:24,760 --> 01:06:27,800
Speaker 1: this game. And really what gets me sighted We're gonna

1372
01:06:27,840 --> 01:06:31,800

1375
01:06:40,960 --> 01:06:46,400
Speaker 1: since the brothers were names were what were the brothers names?

1376
01:06:46,440 --> 01:06:49,880
Speaker 1: I can't remem But I like the fact that Leslie

1377
01:06:50,120 --> 01:06:53,080
Speaker 1: Frazier pointed out how in the last couple of weeks

Speaker 1: does it have on you? Give us a call to discuss.

1432
01:10:01,360 --> 01:10:03,160
Speaker 1: We got a Twitter poll about this. What's the impact

1433
01:10:03,240 --> 01:10:05,439
Speaker 1: of the Bills Pittsburgh game being on Sunday night football?

1434
01:10:05,880 --> 01:10:08,599
Speaker 1: On Twitter? A thousand votes in so far. Thirty seven

1435
01:10:08,680 --> 01:10:11,400
Speaker 1: percent of you and the polling say it's advantage to

1436
01:10:11,439 --> 01:10:14,200
Speaker 1: the Bills because they have something to prove. Thirty percent

1437
01:10:14,520 --> 01:10:16,759
Speaker 1: say it's an advantage to the Steelers. They are great

1438
01:10:16,840 --> 01:10:19,759
Speaker 1: at home primetime at hines Field twenty eight wins, nine losses.

1439

1440
01:10:22,360 --> 01:10:25,880
Speaker 1: screwing up my whole road game pregame ritual ten percent

1441
01:10:25,960 --> 01:10:28,760
Speaker 1: have something else in mind? Eight fifty toll free one

1442
01:10:28,880 --> 01:10:31,599
Speaker 1: eight eight eight by fifty two five fifty. You want

1443
01:10:31,640 --> 01:10:34,120
Speaker 1: to discuss this or anything else? Emmanuel on the line

1444
01:10:34,160 --> 01:10:37,960
Speaker 1: in Dallas, Hello Emmanuel, Welcome to the show. Hey John,

1445
01:10:38,000 --> 01:10:40,080
Speaker 1: Hey Steve. I want to make a couple quick points.

1446
01:10:40,120 --> 01:10:42,760
Speaker 1: I think that the advantage is to Pittsburgh because of

1447
01:10:42,840 --> 01:10:45,160
Speaker 1: the atmosphere. I was kind of matt when I switched

1448
01:10:45,200 --> 01:10:47,720
Speaker 1: this game to prime time because I felt like the

1449
01:10:47,760 --> 01:10:50,040
Speaker 1: Bills had a better chance at one o'clock. There's a

1450
01:10:50,080 --> 01:10:52,040
Speaker 1: couple of important things that I want you guys to

1451
01:10:52,320 --> 01:10:55,160
Speaker 1: weigh in on. I was watching the game last weekend.

1452
01:10:55,160 --> 01:10:57,560
Speaker 1: I've seen that Devina Secretary came out the game and

1453
01:10:57,720 --> 01:10:59,960
Speaker 1: Frank Gore was in there for like a whole series

1454
01:11:00,040 --> 01:11:02,240
Speaker 1: research so and I was saying, in my mind, if

1455
01:11:02,600 --> 01:11:05,479
Speaker 1: Singletary isn't tired or hurt, why is Frank Gore in

1456
01:11:05,560 --> 01:11:09,599
Speaker 1: the game. It was one point, second point Foster. Why

1457
01:11:09,800 --> 01:11:13,200
Speaker 1: is Isaiah McKenzie taking snaps away from Foster? Why having't

1458
01:11:13,200 --> 01:11:16,280
Speaker 1: the coaches gave given the media reason for Foster not

1459
01:11:16,439 --> 01:11:19,040
Speaker 1: playing more? I think if the builder's losing it to

1460
01:11:19,160 --> 01:11:21,400
Speaker 1: be an uproar in terms of what he did last year?

1461
01:11:21,439 --> 01:11:23,439
Speaker 1: How come he's not on the field more. In my

1462
01:11:23,600 --> 01:11:26,000
Speaker 1: last point, when it comes to the punter of our

1463
01:11:26,040 --> 01:11:28,840
Speaker 1: hard gets, I think he's the worst punter on in

1464
01:11:29,000 --> 01:11:32,400
Speaker 1: the league right now. He's celebrates when he hits forty

1465
01:11:32,479 --> 01:11:35,200
Speaker 1: fifty yard punts and I think Steve Pasterer could have

1466
01:11:35,320 --> 01:11:37,599
Speaker 1: kicked that thirty seven yard punt he did last week.

1467
01:11:37,920 --> 01:11:39,960
Speaker 1: How are we going to fix the kicking game? And

1468
01:11:40,000 --> 01:11:41,880
Speaker 1: if you can keep me on the line, I would

1469
01:11:41,920 --> 01:11:44,160
Speaker 1: like to hear your response. Well, Emmanuel, you bring up

1470
01:11:44,160 --> 01:11:45,799
Speaker 1: a lot of good things. First of all, the receiving

1471
01:11:45,840 --> 01:11:49,000
Speaker 1: thing that each of these receivers, and it's been something

1472
01:11:49,040 --> 01:11:51,200
Speaker 1: that we've heard a lot of calls about as well.

1473
01:11:51,240 --> 01:11:54,799
Speaker 1: Are people were missing Duke Williams on the field. Foster

1474
01:11:55,120 --> 01:11:58,040
Speaker 1: and Isaiah McKenzie have been in and out of the

1475
01:11:58,120 --> 01:12:01,400
Speaker 1: lineup together all year. The guys you see always on

1476
01:12:01,760 --> 01:12:04,439
Speaker 1: or the usual suspects, it's Cole Beasley and John Brown,

1477
01:12:05,479 --> 01:12:09,599
Speaker 1: but the third wide receiver I think they kind of see,

1478
01:12:10,400 --> 01:12:12,080
Speaker 1: at least at the current point. I don't know if

1479
01:12:12,160 --> 01:12:13,840
Speaker 1: Murph few agree with this or not. They're kind of

1480
01:12:13,880 --> 01:12:17,479
Speaker 1: like specialists. Bob Foster has his skill set, Isaiah McKenzie

1481
01:12:17,520 --> 01:12:21,080
Speaker 1: has his skill set, Andre Roberts has his skill set.

1482
01:12:21,160 --> 01:12:23,240
Speaker 1: How they rotate those guys are in probably is a

1483
01:12:23,320 --> 01:12:28,000
Speaker 1: game to game, situation to situation call on their part.

1484
01:12:28,360 --> 01:12:30,760
Speaker 1: So I don't know why why it would be that

1485
01:12:30,840 --> 01:12:33,680
Speaker 1: they do make the substitutions they make other than the

1486
01:12:33,760 --> 01:12:36,760
Speaker 1: fact that they like certain guys doing certain things. As

1487
01:12:36,800 --> 01:12:39,519
Speaker 1: far as before we move on to on the receivers,

1488
01:12:40,640 --> 01:12:42,320
Speaker 1: and yeah, you can second guess said if you'd like

1489
01:12:42,760 --> 01:12:46,320
Speaker 1: the early in the season, Bill said, significant jet sweep

1490
01:12:46,360 --> 01:12:48,680
Speaker 1: motion in their offense, which was Isai McKenzie. He was

1491
01:12:48,720 --> 01:12:51,280
Speaker 1: effective running the jet sweep, you know, getting the ball

1492
01:12:51,320 --> 01:12:54,720
Speaker 1: in effective in a decoy role. And that's kind of

1493
01:12:54,760 --> 01:12:58,000
Speaker 1: they've lessened off that a little bit. Two games ago

1494
01:12:58,040 --> 01:12:59,880
Speaker 1: the Dallas game, I looked it up. I didn't know this,

1495
01:13:00,120 --> 01:13:03,800
Speaker 1: but as Zae McKenzie had thirty offensive snaps and Robert

1496
01:13:03,840 --> 01:13:05,640
Speaker 1: Foster had twenty eight, so they were almost even in

1497
01:13:05,760 --> 01:13:08,479
Speaker 1: Dallas last week and I've just looked this up. A

1498
01:13:08,600 --> 01:13:12,360
Speaker 1: Zam McKenzie had fifty three offensive snaps, Robert Foster had nineteen,

1499
01:13:12,479 --> 01:13:15,240
Speaker 1: So yeah, you're right. This past week it was McKenny.

1500
01:13:15,280 --> 01:13:17,160
Speaker 1: I do think it's Steve said, it's a game plan thing.

1501
01:13:17,240 --> 01:13:19,320
Speaker 1: What are we trying to do here? On offense? In

1502
01:13:19,479 --> 01:13:22,040
Speaker 1: Dallas they were almost fifty fifty last week. It was

1503
01:13:22,479 --> 01:13:24,479
Speaker 1: two to one, more than two to one in favor

1504
01:13:24,520 --> 01:13:27,479
Speaker 1: of McKenzie. And let's face it, Steve, this is an

1505
01:13:27,520 --> 01:13:29,639
Speaker 1: offense said as struggled to find a lot of answers,

1506
01:13:29,680 --> 01:13:31,479
Speaker 1: so they continue to look. I think that's part of

1507
01:13:31,640 --> 01:13:33,240
Speaker 1: the answer here. Yeah, and a little bit of it,

1508
01:13:33,479 --> 01:13:35,320
Speaker 1: a little bit of it has been the inability to

1509
01:13:35,400 --> 01:13:39,640
Speaker 1: hit the deep ball that would solve a lot of

1510
01:13:39,680 --> 01:13:42,160
Speaker 1: their problems, I think, And it's just kind of gone away.

1511
01:13:42,200 --> 01:13:44,920
Speaker 1: And we've been talking about this all this week for sure,

1512
01:13:45,320 --> 01:13:48,160
Speaker 1: because they missed like six shots down the field, or

1513
01:13:48,200 --> 01:13:50,040
Speaker 1: they missed five out of the six shots they took

1514
01:13:50,120 --> 01:13:52,120
Speaker 1: down the field this last week and had some guys

1515
01:13:52,240 --> 01:13:54,320
Speaker 1: running open and the throws where you'd like to see

1516
01:13:54,400 --> 01:13:57,479
Speaker 1: him hit. So when that comes back, all of this

1517
01:13:57,640 --> 01:14:01,000
Speaker 1: kind of goes away and the problems become less seemingly

1518
01:14:01,120 --> 01:14:03,120
Speaker 1: less urgent than they are now. The other two things

1519
01:14:03,160 --> 01:14:09,080
Speaker 1: you brought up and Devin singletary um everybody in the

1520
01:14:09,240 --> 01:14:13,160
Speaker 1: NFL rotates their running backs quite a bit. I don't

1521
01:14:13,200 --> 01:14:16,200
Speaker 1: think the Bills do it any more or less than

1522
01:14:16,200 --> 01:14:17,760
Speaker 1: any other team. And it all had and it has

1523
01:14:17,800 --> 01:14:19,360
Speaker 1: to do with giving a guy a chance to catch

1524
01:14:19,400 --> 01:14:22,559
Speaker 1: his breath, and that's basically it. Uh. You know, when

1525
01:14:22,800 --> 01:14:26,040
Speaker 1: Gore snaps off or a Singletary sap snaps off a

1526
01:14:26,120 --> 01:14:28,479
Speaker 1: couple of good runs, they'll come out, catch their breath

1527
01:14:28,479 --> 01:14:31,000
Speaker 1: and go right back in. Doesn't have anything to do with,

1528
01:14:32,200 --> 01:14:35,560
Speaker 1: you know, them not wanting Singletary on the field. It

1529
01:14:35,640 --> 01:14:37,280
Speaker 1: has more to do with just getting a fresh set

1530
01:14:37,320 --> 01:14:39,880
Speaker 1: of legs in there. This past week, Singletary had twenty

1531
01:14:39,920 --> 01:14:44,400
Speaker 1: three touches and Frank Gore had um four touches, so

1532
01:14:45,000 --> 01:14:47,760
Speaker 1: it's pretty heavy rotation. And Devin sing I mean, there's

1533
01:14:47,800 --> 01:14:50,720
Speaker 1: no question anymore that he is the guy, right, Devin

1534
01:14:50,800 --> 01:14:53,400
Speaker 1: Singletary is the guy. He was on for sixty snaps

1535
01:14:53,479 --> 01:14:56,160
Speaker 1: this past week and Frank Gore was on for thirteen,

1536
01:14:56,280 --> 01:14:58,559
Speaker 1: So that's four to one, right. And I think one

1537
01:14:58,600 --> 01:15:01,080
Speaker 1: of the reasons that you that it's hard to get him,

1538
01:15:01,080 --> 01:15:02,840
Speaker 1: like if he comes out and if Frank Gore goes

1539
01:15:02,880 --> 01:15:05,559
Speaker 1: in and all four of his snaps are in one series,

1540
01:15:06,000 --> 01:15:08,360
Speaker 1: it probably has to do with that specific series being

1541
01:15:08,560 --> 01:15:10,280
Speaker 1: either a no huddle where they don't want to make

1542
01:15:10,360 --> 01:15:12,280
Speaker 1: you know, they can't make the substitution because they want

1543
01:15:12,320 --> 01:15:15,599
Speaker 1: to go fast, or something along that nature. There may

1544
01:15:15,640 --> 01:15:17,400
Speaker 1: be some times where they want Frank Gore in for

1545
01:15:17,840 --> 01:15:21,280
Speaker 1: pass pro or something like that. But nevertheless, you know,

1546
01:15:22,000 --> 01:15:24,439
Speaker 1: when Singletary comes out of the off the field, it's

1547
01:15:24,479 --> 01:15:26,200
Speaker 1: because he needs to come off the field, not because

1548
01:15:26,280 --> 01:15:27,880
Speaker 1: Frank Gore needs to go on. Do you agree with

1549
01:15:27,920 --> 01:15:30,479
Speaker 1: Emmanuel that moving the game to Sunday night is an

1550
01:15:30,520 --> 01:15:33,720
Speaker 1: advantage for the Steelers the primetime atmosphere there, I mean,

1551
01:15:33,800 --> 01:15:36,479
Speaker 1: twenty eight and nine, you cannot ignore that Steelers at

1552
01:15:36,560 --> 01:15:39,599
Speaker 1: home in Hines Field in primetime games. Well, it puts

1553
01:15:39,680 --> 01:15:42,120
Speaker 1: that theory we talked about after Thanksgiving to the test.

1554
01:15:42,439 --> 01:15:45,400
Speaker 1: What's that which I feel like Josh Allen kind of

1555
01:15:45,439 --> 01:15:47,560
Speaker 1: elevates when the lights are on? Yeah, you know, we

1556
01:15:47,680 --> 01:15:51,519
Speaker 1: feel like he kind of when that's that Dallas game

1557
01:15:52,000 --> 01:15:55,800
Speaker 1: was a big moment for him personally and the you know,

1558
01:15:55,880 --> 01:15:57,519
Speaker 1: this team that they're trying to build and get back

1559
01:15:57,560 --> 01:16:00,960
Speaker 1: into the national spotlight, that's a big moment that they

1560
01:16:01,080 --> 01:16:04,000
Speaker 1: shined in the entire team defense and offense, and Josh

1561
01:16:04,080 --> 01:16:07,200
Speaker 1: Allen in particular, and we said this a little bit.

1562
01:16:07,280 --> 01:16:09,559
Speaker 1: We can see it that any high marks around along

1563
01:16:09,600 --> 01:16:12,040
Speaker 1: the way where where the team was in a moment

1564
01:16:12,080 --> 01:16:14,519
Speaker 1: where they got a little bit of attention, Josh seemed

1565
01:16:14,560 --> 01:16:18,280
Speaker 1: to play his best, and that puts this game puts

1566
01:16:18,360 --> 01:16:20,080
Speaker 1: that to the test in a big way because they're

1567
01:16:20,120 --> 01:16:23,880
Speaker 1: walking into a buzzsaw of a defense and the lights

1568
01:16:23,880 --> 01:16:26,519
Speaker 1: you're gonna be on, everybody's gonna be watching again. And

1569
01:16:27,360 --> 01:16:30,080
Speaker 1: if he Josh lights it up again, I think we

1570
01:16:30,200 --> 01:16:32,400
Speaker 1: kind of have your answer. You know. Yeah, at least

1571
01:16:32,439 --> 01:16:36,479
Speaker 1: this season, when the attentions on the team, Josh Allen elevates,

1572
01:16:36,560 --> 01:16:38,599
Speaker 1: his playing looks pretty darn good doing it. Yeah, thirty

1573
01:16:38,640 --> 01:16:41,240
Speaker 1: two and a half million viewers. And Thanksgiving Day for

1574
01:16:41,320 --> 01:16:44,120
Speaker 1: that game. This one typically Sunday night games, they're nineteen

1575
01:16:44,200 --> 01:16:47,960
Speaker 1: twenty million, So this is not anywhere near really the

1576
01:16:48,320 --> 01:16:51,000
Speaker 1: kind of audience, said Ann. And Thanksgiving. There's a somebody

1577
01:16:51,040 --> 01:16:53,760
Speaker 1: tweeted into our One Bill's Life site. I've read it

1578
01:16:54,080 --> 01:16:56,559
Speaker 1: early this morning or late last night, said well, Josh

1579
01:16:56,640 --> 01:16:58,840
Speaker 1: Allen has shown that he can't handle the spotlight and

1580
01:16:58,920 --> 01:17:01,360
Speaker 1: play big and big games. I'm like, that's not right,

1581
01:17:01,680 --> 01:17:04,439
Speaker 1: that's not right. What you mean on Twitter, somebody tweeted

1582
01:17:04,439 --> 01:17:06,559
Speaker 1: it out. From my point, I think it's the exact opposite,

1583
01:17:06,600 --> 01:17:08,280
Speaker 1: don't you. I do, I do. I think it's just

1584
01:17:08,360 --> 01:17:10,519
Speaker 1: the opposite. Now, we may see something different this week,

1585
01:17:11,360 --> 01:17:13,840
Speaker 1: but certainly he has when the lights have come on,

1586
01:17:14,080 --> 01:17:16,240
Speaker 1: he has played his best football I think, at least

1587
01:17:16,240 --> 01:17:18,839
Speaker 1: in this season. And we'll see if it can continue.

1588
01:17:18,880 --> 01:17:23,400
Speaker 1: But I um, I think moving this game to Sunday

1589
01:17:23,520 --> 01:17:27,000
Speaker 1: night because it's one hundred percent chance the Bills win.

1590
01:17:27,120 --> 01:17:30,880
Speaker 1: They are in, They've got the ultimate chant, They've got

1591
01:17:30,920 --> 01:17:32,680
Speaker 1: the ultimate apple out in front of them that they

1592
01:17:32,720 --> 01:17:34,680
Speaker 1: got to reach for. Right, I mean this is this

1593
01:17:34,840 --> 01:17:38,120
Speaker 1: is the big bait you want to You gotta win

1594
01:17:38,240 --> 01:17:40,160
Speaker 1: this game, right, I mean this is this says something

1595
01:17:40,200 --> 01:17:42,320
Speaker 1: about you go into Pittsburgh on a Sunday night with

1596
01:17:42,360 --> 01:17:45,600
Speaker 1: a chance to clinch a playoff spot. You better. You

1597
01:17:45,720 --> 01:17:47,720
Speaker 1: gotta show up big and play your best football. Take

1598
01:17:47,720 --> 01:17:49,840
Speaker 1: a few calls here, Charlie and Buffalo. Go ahead, Charlie,

1599
01:17:49,880 --> 01:17:52,559
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show. Hi guys, how are you doing today? Good?

1600
01:17:52,720 --> 01:17:55,559
Speaker 1: Being good? I'll make a couple of points real quick. Uh.

1601
01:17:56,040 --> 01:17:58,479
Speaker 1: You know, regardless of what happens Sunday night, if the

1602
01:17:58,560 --> 01:18:00,880
Speaker 1: Bills play a really good game. I think they should

1603
01:18:00,880 --> 01:18:03,680
Speaker 1: get respected to out the league, would go throughout the

1604
01:18:03,800 --> 01:18:07,120
Speaker 1: league instead of being treated like the Rodney Danger Fields

1605
01:18:07,200 --> 01:18:09,880
Speaker 1: no respect. And I also wanted to make up a

1606
01:18:10,040 --> 01:18:13,120
Speaker 1: quick point about just let me hold you up before

1607
01:18:13,120 --> 01:18:15,439
Speaker 1: we move on from that point, Charlie, I don't think

1608
01:18:15,520 --> 01:18:17,920
Speaker 1: that's right. They're not getting no respect. They moved this

1609
01:18:18,040 --> 01:18:22,040
Speaker 1: game to Sunday night. That's respect. And I think there's

1610
01:18:22,080 --> 01:18:25,160
Speaker 1: plenty of evidence Chris Simms, National reporter ten minutes ago

1611
01:18:25,200 --> 01:18:27,840
Speaker 1: on our show, plenty of evidence that people respect the

1612
01:18:27,880 --> 01:18:30,080
Speaker 1: Bills and know what they've done. They moved this game

1613
01:18:30,120 --> 01:18:32,640
Speaker 1: to Sunday night. They flex this game out to Sunday night.

1614
01:18:32,760 --> 01:18:36,559
Speaker 1: I understand what you're saying. Oh ahead, what's that? What else, Charlie.

1615
01:18:37,479 --> 01:18:40,439
Speaker 1: I remember years ago when Tom Donohoe was our general

1616
01:18:40,560 --> 01:18:44,280
Speaker 1: manager here and when Pittsburgh came to town, we gave

1617
01:18:44,360 --> 01:18:46,519
Speaker 1: them a lot more tickets than we were allowed to

1618
01:18:46,680 --> 01:18:49,320
Speaker 1: by the league the league rule. And now all of

1619
01:18:49,400 --> 01:18:51,120
Speaker 1: a sudden, people want to go down there and see

1620
01:18:51,160 --> 01:18:52,800
Speaker 1: the games Sunday night, and they're going to pay a

1621
01:18:52,880 --> 01:18:55,680
Speaker 1: lot of money now to see them there. Now, Pittsburgh

1622
01:18:55,720 --> 01:18:58,000
Speaker 1: in the future now comes to Buffalo. Should we do

1623
01:18:58,080 --> 01:18:59,800
Speaker 1: the same thing to them now, only give them the

1624
01:19:00,360 --> 01:19:02,200
Speaker 1: we're allowed to give them, and if they want to

1625
01:19:02,240 --> 01:19:04,599
Speaker 1: buy tickets, let them pay a lot more money. That's all.

1626
01:19:04,600 --> 01:19:06,120
Speaker 1: I got to see guys and have a good day off.

1627
01:19:06,240 --> 01:19:08,080
Speaker 1: You bet well, if you know, there's one way to

1628
01:19:08,160 --> 01:19:11,080
Speaker 1: do it, buy the tickets, you know. I mean, that's yeah,

1629
01:19:11,520 --> 01:19:15,600
Speaker 1: that's certainly I get it. If if um And was

1630
01:19:15,680 --> 01:19:18,000
Speaker 1: facing maybe a few years ago when Dot Tom Dono

1631
01:19:18,120 --> 01:19:20,080
Speaker 1: was here or whatever, maybe they were struggling to sell

1632
01:19:20,160 --> 01:19:24,960
Speaker 1: tickets here. The team wasn't that good, So maybe that

1633
01:19:25,080 --> 01:19:29,320
Speaker 1: was an answer to that. And I don't know, Maybe

1634
01:19:29,360 --> 01:19:32,720
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just I'm with you, Murph. I

1635
01:19:32,800 --> 01:19:35,360
Speaker 1: think people are sitting up. They do respect this team.

1636
01:19:35,680 --> 01:19:38,200
Speaker 1: I think as far as people showing it's hard to

1637
01:19:38,200 --> 01:19:40,040
Speaker 1: get a ticket in Pittsburgh for a team that that's

1638
01:19:40,120 --> 01:19:42,040
Speaker 1: got a chance to do what the Pittsburgh Steelers have

1639
01:19:42,120 --> 01:19:44,920
Speaker 1: to do. That's a team that's a city that that

1640
01:19:45,080 --> 01:19:47,560
Speaker 1: goes out and they travel well too, they always have,

1641
01:19:47,840 --> 01:19:50,960
Speaker 1: so um yeah, I don't know. There's gonna be a

1642
01:19:51,000 --> 01:19:53,040
Speaker 1: lot of Bills fans there. There always are, and uh,

1643
01:19:53,840 --> 01:19:56,680
Speaker 1: it's a tough place to play. Tough place to be

1644
01:19:56,680 --> 01:20:00,240
Speaker 1: an opposing fan. It's gonna be a good game. You're

1645
01:20:00,320 --> 01:20:03,280
Speaker 1: a big game December. I expect a good competitive game.

1646
01:20:03,320 --> 01:20:05,680
Speaker 1: And if it is, which you know I expected to be,

1647
01:20:06,160 --> 01:20:09,960
Speaker 1: let's next week. Talk about the thought anyway that the

1648
01:20:10,040 --> 01:20:13,479
Speaker 1: Bills in Pittsburgh and Cleveland and who Cincinnati should be

1649
01:20:13,520 --> 01:20:16,320
Speaker 1: in the same division moving forward. That would be fantastic

1650
01:20:16,720 --> 01:20:19,920
Speaker 1: if people could drive to these games and all Bills

1651
01:20:19,960 --> 01:20:22,320
Speaker 1: fans are excited about their team. They're driving to Cleveland

1652
01:20:22,360 --> 01:20:24,000
Speaker 1: for a game, and they did this year, by the way,

1653
01:20:24,120 --> 01:20:25,880
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, I would love that. I

1654
01:20:25,960 --> 01:20:29,160
Speaker 1: think I would love that. Bills Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Cleveland. Yeah,

1655
01:20:29,240 --> 01:20:31,719
Speaker 1: there's a division for you. Yeah, the Rust Belt Division.

1656
01:20:32,520 --> 01:20:34,960
Speaker 1: Let's go to Line in Hudson Valley. Hello, Line, welcome,

1665
01:21:02,280 --> 01:21:06,519
Speaker 1: young team, and I think the exposure to primetime games,

1666
01:21:06,640 --> 01:21:09,240
Speaker 1: nationally televised games, it's only going to be better for

1667
01:21:09,320 --> 01:21:11,840
Speaker 1: them moving forward and getting used to that because now

1668
01:21:11,880 --> 01:21:14,519

Speaker 1: Thanks very much, guys, game, Thank you. Yeah, it might help.

1670
01:21:19,439 --> 01:21:21,200
Speaker 1: It might help in the future when you get guys

1671
01:21:21,240 --> 01:21:23,960
Speaker 1: that are used to it and ready for it. I

1672
01:21:24,040 --> 01:21:26,240
Speaker 1: think it's it's nice for him now. I think it's

1673
01:21:26,800 --> 01:21:28,559
Speaker 1: I think that players treat it more as a treat

1674
01:21:28,720 --> 01:21:32,479
Speaker 1: now that they get because Sunday night football. Yeah, you know,

1675
01:21:33,040 --> 01:21:36,240
Speaker 1: you think about it. You know that your your grade

1676
01:21:36,240 --> 01:21:39,719
Speaker 1: school coach and your high school coach and your college coaches,

1677
01:21:39,840 --> 01:21:42,840
Speaker 1: all your college teammates, your high school teammates, all your

1678
01:21:42,920 --> 01:21:45,719
Speaker 1: friends and family from high school and hometown, and everybody

1679
01:21:45,720 --> 01:21:48,040
Speaker 1: across the country whoever knows you has any connection with

1680
01:21:48,080 --> 01:21:50,560
Speaker 1: you's gonna be looking for you on that game. And

1681
01:21:51,960 --> 01:21:54,040
Speaker 1: it's a motivating factor and it's and it's kind of

1682
01:21:54,080 --> 01:21:57,000
Speaker 1: cool to think that. So it's it is a kind

1683
01:21:57,040 --> 01:22:00,720
Speaker 1: of a special thing to get on primetime televison for

1684
01:22:00,840 --> 01:22:04,639
Speaker 1: your team, and plus it's incentive to play well. Yeah, Ali,

1685
01:22:05,080 --> 01:22:07,240
Speaker 1: You know, I think a lot of fans have mentioned

1686
01:22:07,280 --> 01:22:10,080
Speaker 1: this and players have talked about the Bills ability this

1687
01:22:10,240 --> 01:22:12,640
Speaker 1: year to bounce back after losses. Right, they have not

1688
01:22:12,720 --> 01:22:14,880
Speaker 1: lost two in a row at all this year. They've

1689
01:22:14,960 --> 01:22:17,240
Speaker 1: gone three and one each month so far this year.

1690
01:22:17,560 --> 01:22:20,120
Speaker 1: Lee Smith in the Buffalo locker room this week talked

1691
01:22:20,160 --> 01:22:22,680
Speaker 1: about that and another chance for the Buffalo Bills to

1692
01:22:22,720 --> 01:22:26,200
Speaker 1: demonstrate how well they bounced back after losses. Here's Lee Smith.

1693
01:22:28,040 --> 01:22:29,360
Speaker 1: You know, I think as long as we keep that

1694
01:22:29,439 --> 01:22:32,360
Speaker 1: one in on mindset that Sean and Dave's and you know,

1695
01:22:32,439 --> 01:22:35,680
Speaker 1: all the coaches talk about every week, you know, it

1696
01:22:35,760 --> 01:22:37,600
Speaker 1: allows you to be dialed in and focused on the

1697
01:22:37,680 --> 01:22:39,800
Speaker 1: task at hand instead of you know, looking it over

1698
01:22:39,920 --> 01:22:43,720
Speaker 1: all schedule, looking at your records. You know, if you

1699
01:22:43,800 --> 01:22:46,400
Speaker 1: just stay at that one in on mindset grind every

1700
01:22:46,439 --> 01:22:47,920
Speaker 1: week and you count them up at the end, and

1701
01:22:48,880 --> 01:22:50,880
Speaker 1: you know, I think that's a testament to the fact

1702
01:22:50,880 --> 01:22:52,799
Speaker 1: that we've been number a reset after each of our losses.

1703
01:22:52,960 --> 01:22:55,560
Speaker 1: We haven't harped on it, we haven't set around and

1704
01:22:55,600 --> 01:22:57,320
Speaker 1: soaked about it for five days, you know, and let

1705
01:22:57,400 --> 01:22:59,600
Speaker 1: it steal our energy going into our next opponents. So

1706
01:23:00,240 --> 01:23:02,479
Speaker 1: you know, we didn't pull it off Sunday against the Ravens.

1707
01:23:02,880 --> 01:23:04,439
Speaker 1: We did a lot of great things. I think we're

1708
01:23:04,479 --> 01:23:07,800
Speaker 1: going as a football team. There's not many many guys

1709
01:23:07,840 --> 01:23:11,599
Speaker 1: in this locker room that aren't just the absolute true professional.

1710
01:23:11,640 --> 01:23:13,880
Speaker 1: It's fun group to be around. I wouldn't want to

1711
01:23:13,880 --> 01:23:15,519
Speaker 1: be on any other the team right now playing football

1712
01:23:15,520 --> 01:23:17,519
Speaker 1: in December, right, we're playing games that matter in December,

1713
01:23:17,640 --> 01:23:19,800
Speaker 1: and there's a reason for that. And you know, I

1714
01:23:19,840 --> 01:23:21,320
Speaker 1: didn't know that we hadn't lost two in a row,

1715
01:23:21,920 --> 01:23:23,840
Speaker 1: but the fact that we haven't, I think is a

1716
01:23:23,920 --> 01:23:25,439
Speaker 1: testament to the fact that we do have that one

1717
01:23:25,479 --> 01:23:27,920
Speaker 1: in our mindset each week and we don't let losses

1718
01:23:28,120 --> 01:23:30,559
Speaker 1: get us down or ruin our mood or still our joy.

1719
01:23:30,800 --> 01:23:32,679
Speaker 1: We love working with each other. We had a great

1720
01:23:32,680 --> 01:23:34,479
Speaker 1: group of coaches, a great group of dudes. So it's

1721
01:23:34,479 --> 01:23:36,000
Speaker 1: just time to get back to work after those losses.

1722
01:23:36,240 --> 01:23:38,840
Speaker 1: Really smart observations from the veteran Titan d Lee Smith.

1723
01:23:38,880 --> 01:23:41,680
Speaker 1: I think what he's talking about is the Sean McDermott

1724
01:23:41,760 --> 01:23:44,840
Speaker 1: a mental hoody, right, don't worry about down the road,

1725
01:23:44,840 --> 01:23:47,120
Speaker 1: don't worry about beyond this week, and you know, and

1726
01:23:47,200 --> 01:23:48,559
Speaker 1: I'll tell you the truth. And he said, we don't

1727
01:23:48,560 --> 01:23:51,160
Speaker 1: souk after losses thinking back at the season and we're

1728
01:23:51,200 --> 01:23:53,200
Speaker 1: not writing the end of the season story yet. But

1729
01:23:53,680 --> 01:23:56,599
Speaker 1: when the Bills came home, they had the huge matchup

1730
01:23:56,640 --> 01:23:58,880
Speaker 1: with New England, lost only by six to New England.

1731
01:23:59,080 --> 01:24:01,759
Speaker 1: I was worried when were going to Tennessee the next week, like, Okay,

1732
01:24:02,000 --> 01:24:04,000
Speaker 1: does that loss linger? Does that affect him? And you

1733
01:24:04,040 --> 01:24:06,040
Speaker 1: know what, it did not. They won a Tennessee and

1734
01:24:06,080 --> 01:24:09,120
Speaker 1: they won the A they won against Miami after that, they,

1735
01:24:09,479 --> 01:24:12,160
Speaker 1: as Lismith said, they have a I think a remarkable

1736
01:24:12,200 --> 01:24:14,800
Speaker 1: ability to bounce back after tough loss. There's lots of that.

1737
01:24:15,200 --> 01:24:17,559
Speaker 1: Some other Bills teams, some other NFL teams might let

1738
01:24:17,640 --> 01:24:20,719
Speaker 1: the impact them down the road beyond the one week loss.

1739
01:24:20,760 --> 01:24:22,439
Speaker 1: It's a great spot to be in. And he's right.

1740
01:24:22,720 --> 01:24:24,439
Speaker 1: You finish the game, you throw it into the L

1741
01:24:24,520 --> 01:24:26,960
Speaker 1: pile or the W pile, and you move on. You know,

1742
01:24:27,040 --> 01:24:30,360
Speaker 1: you don't look at the big picture. You've got a

1743
01:24:30,479 --> 01:24:32,439
Speaker 1: Monday after a game to think about and that's all

1744
01:24:32,479 --> 01:24:34,560
Speaker 1: you think about that that next day. This is what

1745
01:24:34,640 --> 01:24:36,000
Speaker 1: we do the day after a game. Let's go and

1746
01:24:36,040 --> 01:24:38,000
Speaker 1: we got to get better. So let's let's look at it.

1747
01:24:38,080 --> 01:24:41,280
Speaker 1: Let's look at the game film, get better from it,

1748
01:24:41,400 --> 01:24:43,360
Speaker 1: learn what we're supposed to we're supposed to learn from it,

1749
01:24:44,479 --> 01:24:47,120
Speaker 1: correct our mistakes, and then go to the next go

1750
01:24:47,200 --> 01:24:49,040
Speaker 1: to the Tuesday, you know, get better that day, and

1751
01:24:49,040 --> 01:24:51,320
Speaker 1: then Wednesday, come into practice, start thinking about the next

1752
01:24:51,400 --> 01:24:53,680
Speaker 1: game and the game plan and install it. And you

1753
01:24:53,720 --> 01:24:56,320
Speaker 1: don't think about you know, you don't let that loss linger.

1754
01:24:57,040 --> 01:25:00,280
Speaker 1: Don't let one loss count for two. And sometimes times

1755
01:25:00,640 --> 01:25:03,800
Speaker 1: you see teams that are you know, in the midst

1756
01:25:03,840 --> 01:25:06,559
Speaker 1: of a tough season, uh, and a game that they

1757
01:25:06,600 --> 01:25:10,400
Speaker 1: should have one could have won, didn't win, and that's

1758
01:25:10,439 --> 01:25:13,280
Speaker 1: what they carry, that missed opportunity with him the next week.

1759
01:25:13,320 --> 01:25:16,240
Speaker 1: And then it starts to gain some sort of power

1760
01:25:16,360 --> 01:25:18,000
Speaker 1: over your next game, you know what I mean. It

1761
01:25:18,080 --> 01:25:20,960
Speaker 1: starts to games some sort of cloud or pressure packed

1762
01:25:21,520 --> 01:25:24,680
Speaker 1: next week that doesn't deserve to be there, and it

1763
01:25:24,880 --> 01:25:27,760
Speaker 1: and it hinders you. So this mindset of just trying

1764
01:25:27,760 --> 01:25:30,720
Speaker 1: to get better all the time, not just yourself, but

1765
01:25:30,800 --> 01:25:35,040
Speaker 1: your entire team. Uh. Your better preparation, better you know,

1766
01:25:36,200 --> 01:25:40,599
Speaker 1: preventative treatments, you know, workouts, everything, it's all rolled into one.

1767
01:25:40,680 --> 01:25:44,960
Speaker 1: And and when you've got something next to do. You

1768
01:25:45,000 --> 01:25:47,080
Speaker 1: don't worry about what you did last you know. You

1769
01:25:47,120 --> 01:25:50,040
Speaker 1: know when Sean McDermott talks about growth mentality and many

1770
01:25:50,080 --> 01:25:52,479
Speaker 1: of us just go, yeat whatever. This is what he's

1771
01:25:52,520 --> 01:25:56,639
Speaker 1: talking about. What you're particulated is exactly what he's talking about, exactly. Yeah,

1772
01:25:56,880 --> 01:25:59,519
Speaker 1: you got you got things. You gotta do that. And

1773
01:25:59,640 --> 01:26:05,280
Speaker 1: I think, and for obvious reasons, MEU ME fans, we're

1774
01:26:05,320 --> 01:26:07,439
Speaker 1: all caught up in the wins losses, you know, we

1775
01:26:07,680 --> 01:26:09,200
Speaker 1: the wins and loss of what it's all about. And

1776
01:26:09,280 --> 01:26:13,400
Speaker 1: for the team, that's true. But what they what they

1777
01:26:13,640 --> 01:26:16,360
Speaker 1: got to get caught up in is getting better and

1778
01:26:16,479 --> 01:26:19,840
Speaker 1: playing their best every moment every game. Let the wins

1779
01:26:19,880 --> 01:26:23,040
Speaker 1: and losses take care of itself. Playing your best in

1780
01:26:23,240 --> 01:26:26,400
Speaker 1: every opportunity is what it's got to be about, because

1781
01:26:26,439 --> 01:26:28,719
Speaker 1: the results take care of themselves. If you're not gonna

1782
01:26:28,720 --> 01:26:30,080
Speaker 1: be good enough, you're not gonna be good enough, whether

1783
01:26:30,120 --> 01:26:32,719
Speaker 1: you worry about it or not. You gotta make yourself

1784
01:26:32,880 --> 01:26:35,400
Speaker 1: play your best all the time. And that's what it's

1785
01:26:35,400 --> 01:26:38,360
Speaker 1: all about for players and coaches inside the locker room.

1786
01:26:39,000 --> 01:26:42,160
Speaker 1: The results will will happen the way they're supposed to happen.

1787
01:26:42,920 --> 01:26:45,360
Speaker 1: You gotta worry about getting and playing your best. So

1788
01:26:45,479 --> 01:26:47,800
Speaker 1: that and that's what these guys seemed to be doing.

1789

01:27:47,920 --> 01:27:49,439
Speaker 1: for the game are gonna end up having the miss

1807
01:27:49,479 --> 01:27:52,760
Speaker 1: work on Monday. But yeah, and I think it's gonna

1808
01:27:52,760 --> 01:27:58,599
Speaker 1: be worth it. Honestly, Uh, duc Hodgen deviline rather either

1809
01:27:58,760 --> 01:28:01,800
Speaker 1: or um he played it, He's aren't in a very

1810
01:28:01,880 --> 01:28:04,240
Speaker 1: limited amount of time that we've seen him. He's playing

1811
01:28:04,280 --> 01:28:08,320
Speaker 1: the primetime game against the Chargers. I believe it was,

1812
01:28:08,640 --> 01:28:12,839
Speaker 1: and that was all a victory by the Pittsburgh defense

1813
01:28:12,880 --> 01:28:14,560
Speaker 1: at night. I remember, I mean I usually get a

1814
01:28:14,640 --> 01:28:16,960
Speaker 1: chance to watch most he's done. The last three right

1815
01:28:17,040 --> 01:28:21,320
Speaker 1: at Cincinnati home against Cleveland at Arizona. Those are his

1816
01:28:21,439 --> 01:28:24,640
Speaker 1: three Yeah, it wasn't me or maybe he came in

1817
01:28:24,960 --> 01:28:27,120
Speaker 1: did Yeah, I don't know. Those are the three starts

1818
01:28:28,280 --> 01:28:30,280
Speaker 1: you thinking he played at the Chargers back in the middle,

1819
01:28:31,000 --> 01:28:35,519
Speaker 1: did Wait, he wasn't the Cleveland game. He might have started,

1820
01:28:35,560 --> 01:28:37,559
Speaker 1: but that's the one Mason Rudolph got whacked him head

1821
01:28:37,600 --> 01:28:41,400
Speaker 1: rematch the rematch two weeks later. I got you yeah, yeah,

1822
01:28:41,479 --> 01:28:44,479
Speaker 1: I swear. The first we heard of Duck Hodges was

1823
01:28:44,680 --> 01:28:46,720
Speaker 1: after a primetime game. I don't know if he came

1824
01:28:46,760 --> 01:28:50,360
Speaker 1: in or started. Okay, that up Pittsburgh. I remember the

1825
01:28:50,400 --> 01:28:54,160
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh d being very punishing of Philip Rivers at night,

1826
01:28:54,280 --> 01:28:58,519
Speaker 1: and honestly, I don't if there's somebody I don't trust

1827
01:28:58,600 --> 01:29:02,439
Speaker 1: it Duck Hodges, you know, starting this game at prime time,

1828
01:29:02,520 --> 01:29:04,760
Speaker 1: with what's on the line, there's just seems to be

1829
01:29:04,760 --> 01:29:08,160
Speaker 1: a lot more pressure for him in this game as

1830
01:29:08,200 --> 01:29:11,479
Speaker 1: opposed to back in October when they played the Chargers.

1831
01:29:12,439 --> 01:29:13,920
Speaker 1: It's about it. I'm you know, like I said, I

1832
01:29:13,960 --> 01:29:16,400
Speaker 1: thought it was the Chargers, But I think that's the

1833
01:29:16,479 --> 01:29:18,320
Speaker 1: wildcard in all this. It is how is this kid,

1834
01:29:18,640 --> 01:29:21,080
Speaker 1: uh you know, how is this kid gonna do against

1835
01:29:21,640 --> 01:29:25,600
Speaker 1: probably the most punishing defense he's ever faced, you know,

1836
01:29:25,720 --> 01:29:30,000
Speaker 1: in his handful of games. And I think the Bills defense,

1837
01:29:30,439 --> 01:29:33,240
Speaker 1: after seeing, you know, watching them on thank timing, I

1838
01:29:33,320 --> 01:29:36,360
Speaker 1: think they're ready for prime time. That Bill d not.

1839
01:29:36,479 --> 01:29:40,280
Speaker 1: The Saint Pittsburgh isn't. But I just think that it

1840
01:29:40,439 --> 01:29:42,800
Speaker 1: comes down to do this kid Hodges is going to

1841
01:29:42,920 --> 01:29:46,880
Speaker 1: end up making way more mistakes in prime time than

1842
01:29:47,040 --> 01:29:49,400
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, and I think that's what it's going to

1843
01:29:49,439 --> 01:29:52,679
Speaker 1: cost Pittsburgh the game. Yeah, Hodges was fifteen to twenty

1844
01:29:52,720 --> 01:29:55,040
Speaker 1: against the Chargers, and that was all the way back

1845
01:29:55,280 --> 01:29:59,040
Speaker 1: in uh well it was back in October week, mid October. Yeah,

1846
01:29:59,080 --> 01:30:01,080
Speaker 1: so he did play earlier in the season, and was

1847
01:30:01,160 --> 01:30:05,240
Speaker 1: fifteen to twenty and beat the Chargers. So didn't not

1848
01:30:05,320 --> 01:30:11,439
Speaker 1: start that game out? Okay, I don't. I just yeah,

1849
01:30:11,479 --> 01:30:13,439
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, I see what you're saying, John, And

1850
01:30:13,479 --> 01:30:15,519
Speaker 1: you may be right. I wouldn't want to take that

1851
01:30:15,600 --> 01:30:17,360
Speaker 1: to the bank, but I understand that that's that's a

1852
01:30:17,439 --> 01:30:19,639
Speaker 1: big game against you, and you're right about this probably

1853
01:30:19,680 --> 01:30:22,160
Speaker 1: the best defense that he has faced all years, So

1854
01:30:22,280 --> 01:30:24,639
Speaker 1: we'll see. I think on the other hand, you got,

1855
01:30:25,120 --> 01:30:27,960
Speaker 1: as you point out, you got Josh Allen who's played

1856
01:30:28,000 --> 01:30:30,360
Speaker 1: big games. Now Thanksgiving game about as big as it

1857
01:30:30,439 --> 01:30:32,960
Speaker 1: gets in terms of audience size, and even the stakes

1858
01:30:32,960 --> 01:30:35,040
Speaker 1: of that game were really big too, So I see

1859
01:30:35,080 --> 01:30:37,519
Speaker 1: what you mean. Yea, Well it's this and this is

1860
01:30:39,200 --> 01:30:42,479
Speaker 1: you can talk yourself easily into both teams. But I

1861
01:30:42,560 --> 01:30:44,120
Speaker 1: think all of us believe it's going to be a

1862
01:30:44,200 --> 01:30:45,920
Speaker 1: really close game, and when you get down to that,

1863
01:30:46,240 --> 01:30:48,040
Speaker 1: it's going to come down to a handful of plays.

1864
01:30:48,240 --> 01:30:51,760
Speaker 1: And if the Pittsburgh defense plays to form, the Bills

1865
01:30:51,760 --> 01:30:53,840
Speaker 1: are really gonna have to watch out for not turning

1866
01:30:53,880 --> 01:30:56,680
Speaker 1: the football over and give giving Devlin Hodges and the

1867
01:30:56,760 --> 01:30:59,439
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh offense short fields or giving him field goal position

1868
01:31:00,160 --> 01:31:02,720
Speaker 1: by turning it over. If the Bills don't turn it over,

1869
01:31:02,800 --> 01:31:05,280
Speaker 1: you take away something that the Bill that the Pittsburgh

1870
01:31:05,360 --> 01:31:08,519
Speaker 1: defense has thrived on, and that's turnovers. No, I'm not

1871
01:31:08,640 --> 01:31:11,120
Speaker 1: saying that it's it's not a credit to them. It is,

1872
01:31:11,640 --> 01:31:14,519
Speaker 1: But if you take it away from them, I think

1873
01:31:14,640 --> 01:31:17,360
Speaker 1: that tilts the field back in favor of the Buffalo Bills.

1874
01:31:17,400 --> 01:31:21,360
Speaker 1: If it's a zero, zero turnover margin, I think that

1875
01:31:21,640 --> 01:31:26,960
Speaker 1: that tilts the field in favor of Buffalo. But it's

1876
01:31:27,000 --> 01:31:29,719
Speaker 1: easy to say that the players gotta make it happen.

1877
01:31:29,760 --> 01:31:32,400
Speaker 1: You've got to do something offensively. And every time you

1878
01:31:32,560 --> 01:31:35,880
Speaker 1: risk something offensively, you risk a turnover or you risk

1879
01:31:36,000 --> 01:31:38,280
Speaker 1: something else. It's it's gonna be. I think this is

1880
01:31:38,360 --> 01:31:41,240
Speaker 1: gonna be a close, hard fought game, and you can

1881
01:31:41,320 --> 01:31:43,280
Speaker 1: pick it all you want for the Bills or for

1882
01:31:43,439 --> 01:31:46,280
Speaker 1: the for the Steelers. Both these teams are in a

1883
01:31:46,320 --> 01:31:48,800
Speaker 1: position to go to the playoffs, and that's the kind

1884
01:31:48,840 --> 01:31:50,680
Speaker 1: of team you're gonna run into. And that's why this

1885
01:31:50,880 --> 01:31:56,040
Speaker 1: is fun. That's why this is fun. Devlin Hodges is,

1886
01:31:56,640 --> 01:32:00,320
Speaker 1: I don't you can. You can disagree with me, that's fine.

1887
01:32:00,320 --> 01:32:03,840
Speaker 1: I think Josh Allen's a better quarterback right now, and

1888
01:32:04,360 --> 01:32:07,400
Speaker 1: he gives the Bill's offense a chance. You can say

1889
01:32:07,439 --> 01:32:09,839
Speaker 1: what you want. I think Devlin Hodges is gonna struggle

1890
01:32:09,840 --> 01:32:12,719
Speaker 1: against the Bill's defense because the way this Bill's defense

1891
01:32:12,840 --> 01:32:16,000
Speaker 1: unfurls itself is that they've got two safeties that are

1892
01:32:16,040 --> 01:32:20,760
Speaker 1: the most difficult to decipher at disguising coverages there are

1893
01:32:20,840 --> 01:32:24,040
Speaker 1: in the NFL. The Bills have to force the Pittsburgh

1894
01:32:24,040 --> 01:32:26,840
Speaker 1: Steelers to run, to pass the football and put the

1895
01:32:26,920 --> 01:32:29,080
Speaker 1: hand in the put the ball in the game in

1896
01:32:29,120 --> 01:32:32,160
Speaker 1: the hands of this quarterback. Even though he's played well,

1897
01:32:32,200 --> 01:32:33,920
Speaker 1: even though they've won a streak at games with him,

1898
01:32:34,000 --> 01:32:36,040
Speaker 1: I think he's the guy you want to try and

1899
01:32:36,200 --> 01:32:39,479
Speaker 1: have the Pittsburgh Steelers win with against your secondary who

1900
01:32:39,520 --> 01:32:43,040
Speaker 1: can fool him or outplay the receiving core of the Steelers.

1901
01:32:43,320 --> 01:32:45,400
Speaker 1: You know, Carler was right, I was wrong. Hodges did

1902
01:32:45,479 --> 01:32:48,439
Speaker 1: start against the Chargers, won that game twenty four to seventeen,

1903
01:32:48,920 --> 01:32:51,320
Speaker 1: and then started the last two Cleveland and Arizona and

1904
01:32:51,400 --> 01:32:53,599
Speaker 1: won those two. So those were That's where his three

1905
01:32:53,680 --> 01:32:57,919
Speaker 1: and oh record as a starter comes from. Devlin Duck Hodges,

1906
01:32:58,120 --> 01:32:59,639
Speaker 1: we got a break care coming up in the third

1907
01:32:59,680 --> 01:33:01,240
Speaker 1: and final hour. We'll see what we get. There's a

1908
01:33:01,320 --> 01:33:03,920
Speaker 1: dollar on the line for Steve and I come on back.

1909

Speaker 1: Tremaine Edmunds from the Vills, Terrell Edmunds from the Pittsburgh Steelers.

1956
01:35:35,720 --> 01:35:37,519
Speaker 1: Now I'm kind of feeling bad, Steve, if we get

1957
01:35:37,560 --> 01:35:39,920
Speaker 1: this done that we don't have the fullback Trey Edmunds.

1958
01:35:40,600 --> 01:35:42,760
Speaker 1: He's a guy, he's a he's a Pittsburgh Shels count

1959
01:35:42,800 --> 01:35:45,360
Speaker 1: unless we do huh, there's a count. Yeah, it's gonna count.

1960
01:35:45,560 --> 01:35:48,840
Speaker 1: What do you mean counts? Is what you went in

1961
01:35:48,880 --> 01:35:52,840
Speaker 1: the bet? Yeah? At this point that's as never in

1962
01:35:52,920 --> 01:35:55,680
Speaker 1: the mix. Okay, all right, there is no bet. We

1963
01:35:55,720 --> 01:35:58,599
Speaker 1: don't acknowledge the bet. Were changing the rules after Edmunds

1964
01:35:58,840 --> 01:36:00,519
Speaker 1: Brothers coming up, we think in a minute or two

1965
01:36:00,760 --> 01:36:03,479
Speaker 1: and again, and Steve's right, there is a coordination aspect

1966
01:36:03,520 --> 01:36:06,360
Speaker 1: of Steelers practice over Bill's practice over they got to

1967
01:36:06,400 --> 01:36:08,360
Speaker 1: move here, they got to move there. It's not you know,

1968
01:36:08,560 --> 01:36:10,800
Speaker 1: it's not something gets lost in the translation and watch

1969
01:36:10,840 --> 01:36:13,080
Speaker 1: here or anything. It's different. And I gotta say it's

1970
01:36:13,120 --> 01:36:14,640
Speaker 1: different on a home game for the Steelers than it

1971
01:36:14,680 --> 01:36:16,760
Speaker 1: is on away game for the for the Bills. And

1972
01:36:17,800 --> 01:36:19,720
Speaker 1: whether they go to meetings after practice or where they

1973
01:36:19,720 --> 01:36:21,400
Speaker 1: go to work out after practice, where they get treatment

1974
01:36:21,439 --> 01:36:24,320
Speaker 1: after practice, or the combination thereof you miss it in

1975
01:36:24,360 --> 01:36:26,639
Speaker 1: the translation. One guy's doing treatment while the other one's

1976
01:36:26,680 --> 01:36:28,240
Speaker 1: ready to go, and then he has to go get

1977
01:36:28,280 --> 01:36:30,320
Speaker 1: treatment and while the other guy goes to meeting without

1978
01:36:30,360 --> 01:36:33,519
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. So you try to put it together. Yeah,

1979
01:36:33,520 --> 01:36:37,320
Speaker 1: I'm trying. It's a great idea, thank you, although at

1980
01:36:37,360 --> 01:36:40,679
Speaker 1: this point poorly executed. And I must say, we're minutes

1981
01:36:40,680 --> 01:36:42,560
Speaker 1: away from the Edmunds Brothers and we have time to

1982
01:36:42,600 --> 01:36:44,599
Speaker 1: take a few more of your phone calls about this matchup.

1983
01:36:44,880 --> 01:36:48,200
Speaker 1: What do you think let's go to Greg and North Carolina. Hello, Greg, welcome,

1984
01:36:48,240 --> 01:36:52,559
Speaker 1: you're on the air. Hey guys, how you doing okay? Good? Good?

1985
01:36:52,800 --> 01:36:55,479
Speaker 1: And hey Steve. I won't seat the drum over and

1986
01:36:55,520 --> 01:36:57,599
Speaker 1: over about the hall. But you know what, here's funny.

1987
01:36:57,600 --> 01:36:59,720
Speaker 1: You made a comment the other day you said, don't

1988
01:36:59,720 --> 01:37:02,080
Speaker 1: be afraid to call. I would never be afraid to call,

1989
01:37:02,160 --> 01:37:03,920
Speaker 1: but it would be afraid to return a punt. A

1990
01:37:04,000 --> 01:37:05,680
Speaker 1: few of the gunner are coming down the line. We'll

1991
01:37:05,760 --> 01:37:08,360
Speaker 1: leave it at that. Anyway, as far as this game

1992
01:37:08,439 --> 01:37:11,439
Speaker 1: goes this week, I think we do is fully established

1993
01:37:11,479 --> 01:37:13,800
Speaker 1: the running game. We haven't done that yet this year.

1994
01:37:13,880 --> 01:37:15,840
Speaker 1: And we got the motor now and the guy can

1995
01:37:15,920 --> 01:37:19,000
Speaker 1: carry the rock, so let's give them the ball. And

1996
01:37:19,640 --> 01:37:22,920
Speaker 1: Baltimore established a game plan. I think some film for

1997
01:37:23,120 --> 01:37:27,080
Speaker 1: Steelers where you know what to send, five, six, seven,

1998
01:37:27,479 --> 01:37:30,080
Speaker 1: send the whole house. We need to learn how to

1999
01:37:30,200 --> 01:37:32,599
Speaker 1: screen pass. I'll leave it you guys go from there.

2000
01:37:32,920 --> 01:37:35,160
Speaker 1: Too late to learn how to screen pass this deep

2001
01:37:35,200 --> 01:37:36,920
Speaker 1: in the season, Steve, what do you think I don't know?

2002
01:37:37,000 --> 01:37:39,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure there's no way they don't have

2003
01:37:39,800 --> 01:37:41,560
Speaker 1: a bunch of screen passes in their arsenal. They just

2004
01:37:41,640 --> 01:37:44,240
Speaker 1: haven't executed them very well. They just whether they don't

2005
01:37:44,280 --> 01:37:46,160
Speaker 1: seem to be good at it. It's just amazing, because

2006
01:37:46,280 --> 01:37:49,799
Speaker 1: not amazing, it's still puzzling because the interior this offensive

2007
01:37:49,800 --> 01:37:51,519
Speaker 1: line is pretty athletic. I mean they pull out and

2008
01:37:51,560 --> 01:37:53,120
Speaker 1: get to the edge of the defense on the run

2009
01:37:53,200 --> 01:37:56,479
Speaker 1: game really well. I do agree with Greg that this

2010
01:37:56,560 --> 01:37:59,400
Speaker 1: would be a great game to rush for. You know,

2011
01:38:00,000 --> 01:38:02,679
Speaker 1: I have a big rushing day. Run it for about

2012
01:38:02,720 --> 01:38:06,840
Speaker 1: thirty five or forty times with Singletary and Gore and

2013
01:38:07,160 --> 01:38:09,040
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, keep the ball on the ground and you

2014
01:38:09,040 --> 01:38:11,760
Speaker 1: just kind of power through it and force their team

2015
01:38:11,840 --> 01:38:15,400
Speaker 1: to try to keep pace. It also negates a pass rush,

2016
01:38:15,479 --> 01:38:17,120
Speaker 1: you know, when you're not throwing the football. They've got

2017
01:38:17,200 --> 01:38:19,479
Speaker 1: to bear up against the run. But it's not like

2018
01:38:19,520 --> 01:38:21,839
Speaker 1: the Steelers can't do that them and they're good defense,

2019
01:38:21,920 --> 01:38:24,800
Speaker 1: and they're as good or better against the run of

2020
01:38:24,880 --> 01:38:27,280
Speaker 1: the Bills defenses. So you're gonna have your work cut

2021
01:38:27,280 --> 01:38:29,080
Speaker 1: out for you no matter what you do. But I

2022
01:38:29,160 --> 01:38:30,840
Speaker 1: think you're gonna have to do both run and pass.

2023
01:38:31,840 --> 01:38:34,479
Speaker 1: You need to do both of them really well. And

2024
01:38:34,760 --> 01:38:37,639
Speaker 1: you're right. The elephant in the room this last Sunday

2025
01:38:37,760 --> 01:38:40,240
Speaker 1: is brought forth by the Baltimore defense is can they

2026
01:38:40,400 --> 01:38:44,000
Speaker 1: handle whatever pressure Pittsburgh decides to bring and what kind

2027
01:38:44,040 --> 01:38:46,280
Speaker 1: of pressure is it gonna look like? Is it gonna

2028
01:38:46,280 --> 01:38:49,040
Speaker 1: be an extra guy every time they want a blitz?

2029
01:38:49,560 --> 01:38:51,840
Speaker 1: Is it gonna be zero blitz or is it just

2030
01:38:51,960 --> 01:38:55,000
Speaker 1: gonna be Hey, our front four or front three, front

2031
01:38:55,080 --> 01:38:57,760
Speaker 1: five is better than you're blocking five. We're just gonna

2032
01:38:57,760 --> 01:39:00,200
Speaker 1: beat you one on one. It could be anyone. Those

2033
01:39:00,200 --> 01:39:02,519
Speaker 1: are a combination thereof of all those three throughout the game,

2034
01:39:02,560 --> 01:39:05,080
Speaker 1: which is probably gonna be how it's gonna play out

2035
01:39:05,160 --> 01:39:06,760
Speaker 1: remains to be seen. And that's a but that's a

2036
01:39:06,800 --> 01:39:08,600
Speaker 1: big question Bills have to answer, I think, and I

2037
01:39:08,680 --> 01:39:12,000
Speaker 1: think Pittsburgh's gonna make sure the Bills have got an

2038
01:39:12,000 --> 01:39:13,920
Speaker 1: answer before they go away from it. Sack a phone

2039
01:39:13,960 --> 01:39:16,439
Speaker 1: call here from David and Amhurst. Go ahead, David, Welcome

2040
01:39:16,439 --> 01:39:25,559
Speaker 1: to the show. David, Yeah, good, go ahead. A question, Oh,

2041
01:39:25,760 --> 01:39:28,160
Speaker 1: what's going on with t J Yelden? I mean he's

2042
01:39:28,640 --> 01:39:30,920
Speaker 1: me I'm really have fumble problems? Well, isn't he a

2043
01:39:31,000 --> 01:39:32,760
Speaker 1: receiving thrust? I mean, at least he would vote to

2044
01:39:32,760 --> 01:39:35,120
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Why don't we playing him? Yeah, that's a

2045
01:39:35,160 --> 01:39:37,200
Speaker 1: good question. I don't know that. I don't think they

2046
01:39:37,800 --> 01:39:40,720
Speaker 1: like the roster makeup when he's on the on the field,

2047
01:39:40,720 --> 01:39:42,280
Speaker 1: and I don't think it. I don't mean that they

2048
01:39:42,320 --> 01:39:44,400
Speaker 1: don't think he brings something offensively, no question. I think

2049
01:39:44,439 --> 01:39:47,400
Speaker 1: he is a really good offensive weapon. Um, but if

2050
01:39:47,560 --> 01:39:49,560
Speaker 1: he's not gonna play in front of Devin Singletary, and

2051
01:39:49,640 --> 01:39:51,280
Speaker 1: I guess at this point he's not gonna play in

2052
01:39:51,320 --> 01:39:54,600
Speaker 1: front of Frank Gore, probably because they trust Frank not

2053
01:39:54,760 --> 01:39:57,640
Speaker 1: to turn it over. Uh, Yelden does that once in

2054
01:39:57,640 --> 01:40:01,840
Speaker 1: a while. Plus, if you're gonna activate a third running back,

2055
01:40:02,800 --> 01:40:05,080
Speaker 1: he's got to play special teams and Yelden doesn't have

2056
01:40:05,160 --> 01:40:07,240
Speaker 1: that in his repertoire as much as the other guys

2057
01:40:07,240 --> 01:40:11,880
Speaker 1: that they do, like uh, Isaiah McKenzie, Bob Foster, the

2058
01:40:12,040 --> 01:40:14,759
Speaker 1: receivers and those kind of guys do, and as certainly

2059
01:40:14,960 --> 01:40:17,840
Speaker 1: Chris DeMarco. So I think that's what it comes down

2060
01:40:17,880 --> 01:40:21,240
Speaker 1: to more than anything. Daniel, thanks sir. He's been inactive

2061
01:40:21,479 --> 01:40:24,560
Speaker 1: the last seven games. T J Heelden, We'll see. I

2062
01:40:24,760 --> 01:40:27,040
Speaker 1: was a bit surprised today when I ask Brownie about

2063
01:40:27,240 --> 01:40:29,439
Speaker 1: Duke Williams and Brownie kind of poop pood and that

2064
01:40:29,520 --> 01:40:31,800
Speaker 1: as an opportunity this week. Duke Williams coming back right,

2065
01:40:31,920 --> 01:40:33,960
Speaker 1: He's been inactive six games. I want to say now

2066
01:40:34,320 --> 01:40:37,120
Speaker 1: last six Twitter poll today tweet sheet brought to you

2067
01:40:37,240 --> 01:40:40,120
Speaker 1: by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official movers of the Buffalo Bills.

2068
01:40:40,320 --> 01:40:43,400
Speaker 1: What impact does the Bills Steelers game have? The fact

2069
01:40:43,439 --> 01:40:44,840
Speaker 1: that it's on Sunday night? What do you think you

2070
01:40:44,880 --> 01:40:46,600
Speaker 1: want to start there? With? Jay? Sure? Where are you?

2071
01:40:46,880 --> 01:40:49,840
Speaker 1: I've got the second one. Let's finished the first to

2072
01:40:50,000 --> 01:40:52,800
Speaker 1: Jason Hey, he votes a. The last primetime game we

2073
01:40:52,920 --> 01:40:54,960
Speaker 1: had alib and Oliver stepped up and had the best

2074
01:40:55,000 --> 01:40:57,400
Speaker 1: games of their careers. It will be interesting to see

2075
01:40:57,400 --> 01:40:59,280
Speaker 1: if they will do it again and who else will

2076
01:40:59,320 --> 01:41:01,559
Speaker 1: step up and all out in a game that everyone's watching.

2077
01:41:01,680 --> 01:41:03,599
Speaker 1: Good point. That's a good point, He answers the question

2078
01:41:03,680 --> 01:41:05,160
Speaker 1: that it's a good chance for the Bills to show

2079
01:41:05,160 --> 01:41:07,280
Speaker 1: what they have and they, let's face it, that they

2080
01:41:07,360 --> 01:41:09,000
Speaker 1: got more to They got more to game by this

2081
01:41:09,120 --> 01:41:11,600
Speaker 1: than the Steelers. Do they get They're gonna clinch a spot. Ye,

2082
01:41:12,600 --> 01:41:14,880
Speaker 1: along with all that other stuff that you know, in

2083
01:41:14,960 --> 01:41:16,840
Speaker 1: the big scheme of things may not matter, but you know,

2084
01:41:16,960 --> 01:41:19,120
Speaker 1: to earn some respect and all of that stuff and

2085
01:41:19,600 --> 01:41:22,960
Speaker 1: and to shine brightly in the biggest spotlight. Maybe that

2086
01:41:23,080 --> 01:41:26,400
Speaker 1: means something to us fans, but to them, man, it's

2087
01:41:26,400 --> 01:41:28,439
Speaker 1: all about the playoffs for me. We got another one

2088
01:41:28,479 --> 01:41:30,240
Speaker 1: from the tweet sheet from Kendall. He says, the Bills

2089
01:41:30,320 --> 01:41:33,679
Speaker 1: cannot play like they have something to prove. Stay true

2090
01:41:33,720 --> 01:41:36,240
Speaker 1: to who we are, humble and hungry. This game is

2091
01:41:36,320 --> 01:41:38,960
Speaker 1: no different than the thirteen that came before it. The

2092
01:41:39,080 --> 01:41:41,639
Speaker 1: fans may think the Bills have something to prove nationally,

2093
01:41:41,920 --> 01:41:44,439
Speaker 1: but the players have one focus. Well there you go.

2094
01:41:45,479 --> 01:41:47,880
Speaker 1: There's someone that buys into the process right there. I

2095
01:41:47,920 --> 01:41:51,000
Speaker 1: think he's absolutely right. Kendall's absolutely right, And that's that's

2096
01:41:51,040 --> 01:41:53,519
Speaker 1: what Sean McDermott preaches to this team. That's what Lee

2097
01:41:53,560 --> 01:41:55,720
Speaker 1: Smith was talking about. Of Course it's a big game.

2098
01:41:55,800 --> 01:41:58,800
Speaker 1: Of course it'll be a big television audience. Right, it's

2099
01:41:58,800 --> 01:42:01,040
Speaker 1: the number one show on TV, number one show, not

2100
01:42:01,200 --> 01:42:04,560
Speaker 1: number one football game on TV. But what matters is

2101
01:42:04,600 --> 01:42:06,879
Speaker 1: getting to win for the Bills. And I think McDermott

2102
01:42:06,920 --> 01:42:08,920
Speaker 1: has done a great job of hammering the at home

2103
01:42:09,080 --> 01:42:11,960
Speaker 1: to his players. Yeah, go ahead, and then, like I

2104
01:42:12,000 --> 01:42:16,000
Speaker 1: said earlier in the show, it yeah, the wins the thing.

2105
01:42:16,120 --> 01:42:18,000
Speaker 1: But you got the players and coach. They gotta focus

2106
01:42:18,040 --> 01:42:21,000
Speaker 1: on playing their best and if they do that, have

2107
01:42:21,120 --> 01:42:22,840
Speaker 1: the faith that that's enough to win. That's going to

2108
01:42:22,920 --> 01:42:25,639
Speaker 1: be enough to win. Play your best, do the things

2109
01:42:25,680 --> 01:42:28,320
Speaker 1: you've prepared to do, be ready to make plays when

2110
01:42:28,360 --> 01:42:31,479
Speaker 1: they present themselves, and take advantage of these opportunities, and

2111
01:42:31,520 --> 01:42:33,040
Speaker 1: then see what happens at the end of the game.

2112
01:42:33,360 --> 01:42:36,120
Speaker 1: And if they do that, yeah, you gotta be happy

2113
01:42:36,160 --> 01:42:38,759
Speaker 1: with the way your team played and with the results

2114
01:42:38,800 --> 01:42:41,800
Speaker 1: as well. One more from the tweet sheet here from Nick.

2115
01:42:42,360 --> 01:42:44,160
Speaker 1: When we asked the question what's the impact of the

2116
01:42:44,200 --> 01:42:46,680
Speaker 1: Bills game being on Sunday night football? Nick said, I

2117
01:42:46,800 --> 01:42:48,519
Speaker 1: vote another because I don't think the time of the

2118
01:42:48,520 --> 01:42:50,960
Speaker 1: game will effect much. I don't think the players feel

2119
01:42:51,000 --> 01:42:53,640
Speaker 1: like they have anything to prove. McDermot will make sure

2120
01:42:53,640 --> 01:42:54,880
Speaker 1: it's just under the game for the team, and I

2121
01:42:54,920 --> 01:42:57,160
Speaker 1: don't care how many primetime games the Steelers won ten

2122
01:42:57,240 --> 01:43:01,000
Speaker 1: years ago. Good point point and is that stadium has

2123
01:43:01,000 --> 01:43:02,240
Speaker 1: been open for a long time and a lot of

2124
01:43:02,280 --> 01:43:04,639
Speaker 1: those games go way back to where not a single

2125
01:43:04,680 --> 01:43:06,639
Speaker 1: one of these players or coaches were on that team.

2126
01:43:07,400 --> 01:43:09,960
Speaker 1: You know, so that won all those games in Seedling,

2127
01:43:10,040 --> 01:43:12,639
Speaker 1: But it is an atmosphere. It is. It is a thing,

2128
01:43:13,640 --> 01:43:17,519
Speaker 1: and but I get it. For a lot of people,

2129
01:43:17,560 --> 01:43:19,880
Speaker 1: it is just another game. It's just different time of day,

2130
01:43:20,520 --> 01:43:23,000
Speaker 1: particularly for fans. What's it like for players waiting at

2131
01:43:23,120 --> 01:43:25,280
Speaker 1: late into the day to play. It's hard. I told you,

2132
01:43:25,439 --> 01:43:27,600
Speaker 1: you got to take a nap. You gotta get some

2133
01:43:27,680 --> 01:43:30,280
Speaker 1: sleep during the day. It takes forever for the game

2134
01:43:30,360 --> 01:43:33,320
Speaker 1: to get there, and you just feel like you waste

2135
01:43:33,400 --> 01:43:35,920
Speaker 1: the whole day. Now. The coaches, on the other hand,

2136
01:43:37,720 --> 01:43:40,040
Speaker 1: they'll be they'll be looking at New England. I was

2137
01:43:40,080 --> 01:43:44,680
Speaker 1: gonna say, I've seen that at work. They what the

2138
01:43:45,040 --> 01:43:47,280
Speaker 1: you know, the haze in the barn for Pittsburgh by

2139
01:43:47,479 --> 01:43:49,760
Speaker 1: right one o'clock Sunday afternoon. They're looking ahead. They got

2140
01:43:49,760 --> 01:43:52,600
Speaker 1: an opportunity here. Well here's the thing, and now they

2141
01:43:52,640 --> 01:43:54,519
Speaker 1: could do some stuff for the Pittsburgh game yet, but

2142
01:43:54,560 --> 01:43:56,559
Speaker 1: you know what, they got to communicate it to their players.

2143
01:43:56,600 --> 01:43:58,200
Speaker 1: And then it starts to get like all this last

2144
01:43:58,240 --> 01:44:00,880
Speaker 1: minute and no, you do it. You get it ready,

2145
01:44:01,000 --> 01:44:03,040
Speaker 1: You put the game plan in, you get your players ready.

2146
01:44:03,040 --> 01:44:05,040
Speaker 1: You give them some last minute reminders, you give them

2147
01:44:05,080 --> 01:44:08,800
Speaker 1: reminder sheets, you give them play tip sheets, you give

2148
01:44:08,840 --> 01:44:11,760
Speaker 1: them key sheets. Just a little bullet points. Things do

2149
01:44:11,760 --> 01:44:14,000
Speaker 1: you remember when you get in a certain situation, remember this,

2150
01:44:14,280 --> 01:44:16,080
Speaker 1: you get in this situation, you'll remember this. All these

2151
01:44:16,120 --> 01:44:19,040
Speaker 1: little bullet points are just easy to remember. Once you

2152
01:44:19,120 --> 01:44:20,920
Speaker 1: do that, you're not gonna do that right up to

2153
01:44:21,040 --> 01:44:23,760
Speaker 1: game time. And you gotta give these guys, you know,

2154
01:44:24,360 --> 01:44:26,240
Speaker 1: because then just like all you do is you're all

2155
01:44:26,240 --> 01:44:29,040
Speaker 1: you do is looking out. You know, you're not playing physically.

2156
01:44:29,400 --> 01:44:31,920
Speaker 1: Most teams have like some kind of a walk through too.

2157
01:44:31,960 --> 01:44:34,160
Speaker 1: I don't know if they'll they probably won't bust over

2158
01:44:34,240 --> 01:44:36,559
Speaker 1: to the stadium or anything, but game day, with all

2159
01:44:36,640 --> 01:44:38,599
Speaker 1: that time and all that downtime, you don't want guys

2160
01:44:38,680 --> 01:44:41,040
Speaker 1: just lying on their hotel beds, right, you get them

2161
01:44:41,120 --> 01:44:42,800
Speaker 1: up and move around a little bit. Yeah, they'll have

2162
01:44:42,880 --> 01:44:45,160
Speaker 1: a couple of meals. They'll have the pregame meals always

2163
01:44:45,160 --> 01:44:47,479
Speaker 1: about four hours before game time. And you and I

2164
01:44:47,680 --> 01:44:50,080
Speaker 1: used to just eat as much as I could stuff

2165
01:44:50,120 --> 01:44:52,479
Speaker 1: into my face because you knew you're gonna be starving

2166
01:44:52,520 --> 01:44:55,719
Speaker 1: by halftime. Yeah. Hey, Lorenzo Alexander, Buffalo Bills Vendoran linebacker

2167
01:44:55,800 --> 01:44:58,720
Speaker 1: Lorenzo Alexander talk this week about getting ready for a

2168
01:44:58,840 --> 01:45:01,760
Speaker 1: prime time night game. Here's what he had to say.

2169
01:45:03,880 --> 01:45:05,879
Speaker 1: You know, I've kind of been talking to a Will Greenberg,

2170
01:45:05,920 --> 01:45:08,280
Speaker 1: who's one of our athletic trainers here, and just trying

2171
01:45:08,280 --> 01:45:11,240
Speaker 1: to come up with a plan for guys and overall,

2172
01:45:11,280 --> 01:45:12,599
Speaker 1: and some of the things that I've done the pants

2173
01:45:12,600 --> 01:45:14,320
Speaker 1: that have really worked is just really get up, you know,

2174
01:45:14,720 --> 01:45:17,080
Speaker 1: obviously breakfast earlier, but then do like a little light

2175
01:45:17,160 --> 01:45:19,160
Speaker 1: workout just to kind of get things activated. So you know,

2176
01:45:19,200 --> 01:45:22,040
Speaker 1: I'm just sitting around and getting stiff all day, especially

2177
01:45:22,120 --> 01:45:24,400
Speaker 1: this late in the year. I think by doing that

2178
01:45:24,439 --> 01:45:26,400
Speaker 1: a little bit of activation, it's really helped some teams

2179
01:45:26,400 --> 01:45:28,960
Speaker 1: that I've played on in the past, especially traveling and

2180
01:45:29,040 --> 01:45:30,760
Speaker 1: then playing a late night game just so you don't

2181
01:45:30,760 --> 01:45:33,800
Speaker 1: get have the angst of sitting in the room all day.

2182
01:45:34,120 --> 01:45:36,599
Speaker 1: How much do you guys enjoy your opportunity because I mean,

2183
01:45:36,640 --> 01:45:38,720
Speaker 1: it's a National Tieva game again and Thanksgiving, but this

2184
01:45:38,800 --> 01:45:42,479
Speaker 1: one you gotta earn just scheduled for you. Um. I

2185
01:45:42,520 --> 01:45:45,240
Speaker 1: don't know if we ever really thought about that at all.

2186
01:45:45,280 --> 01:45:47,599
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously we're playing well and so the NFL

2187
01:45:47,720 --> 01:45:50,920
Speaker 1: wants to showcase premier teams and it's cool to be

2188
01:45:51,000 --> 01:45:53,800
Speaker 1: in that position, but now we have to continue to

2189
01:45:53,840 --> 01:45:56,040
Speaker 1: earn the right to be put on TV, and obviously

2190
01:45:56,080 --> 01:45:58,719
Speaker 1: it's a big chance for us to showcase ourselves again

2191
01:45:58,800 --> 01:46:02,719
Speaker 1: and then ultimately earn a playoff. There you go, Lorenzo

2192
01:46:02,760 --> 01:46:06,360
Speaker 1: Alexander yesterday in the locker room, John Murphy, Steve Tansker,

2193
01:46:06,479 --> 01:46:09,120
Speaker 1: it is uh one goes live coming in from the

2194
01:46:09,160 --> 01:46:11,479
Speaker 1: Seneca Studio in Archer Park and joining us on set

2195
01:46:11,640 --> 01:46:14,639
Speaker 1: right now. Bill's second year linebacker Tremaine Edmonds. A little Tremaine,

2196
01:46:14,680 --> 01:46:16,720
Speaker 1: thanks coming by. We appreciate it. I appreciate you. Fa

2197
01:46:16,880 --> 01:46:19,080
Speaker 1: dizy Day. We're just talking about it. It's a it's

2198
01:46:19,120 --> 01:46:20,760
Speaker 1: a week here, and it's a Sunday night game and

2199
01:46:20,800 --> 01:46:23,000
Speaker 1: it's a big primetime game. But you guys, it seems

2200
01:46:23,000 --> 01:46:25,280
Speaker 1: approach it is kind of just another game. An important

2201
01:46:25,320 --> 01:46:27,680
Speaker 1: game though. Yeah, definitely. I think that's the key thing

2202
01:46:27,840 --> 01:46:30,200
Speaker 1: approaching every game. Not get too high, not get too

2203
01:46:30,240 --> 01:46:32,519
Speaker 1: long on yourself, but just be locked in. I mean,

2204
01:46:32,600 --> 01:46:34,080
Speaker 1: just do the things that got us to this point.

2205
01:46:34,640 --> 01:46:37,080
Speaker 1: Play as a team, you know, lock in on our fundamentals,

2206
01:46:37,160 --> 01:46:38,840
Speaker 1: lock in on our keys, and just go to work.

2207
01:46:39,000 --> 01:46:40,599
Speaker 1: And it's been I've been saying this the whole show.

2208
01:46:40,600 --> 01:46:42,439
Speaker 1: It's really about you just play. You play your best,

2209
01:46:42,520 --> 01:46:44,960
Speaker 1: and you live with the results. If you play your best,

2210
01:46:45,000 --> 01:46:47,120
Speaker 1: you can kind of it's easier to take even if

2211
01:46:47,120 --> 01:46:49,120
Speaker 1: you have a rough DA exactly exactly every snap you

2212
01:46:49,160 --> 01:46:51,280
Speaker 1: have out there, just given one hundred percent. And uh,

2213
01:46:51,439 --> 01:46:53,439
Speaker 1: like I said, leave nothing left on the field, as

2214
01:46:53,520 --> 01:46:55,599
Speaker 1: long as you know when you walk off that field

2215
01:46:55,640 --> 01:46:57,080
Speaker 1: that you left everything out there. I mean, you just

2216
01:46:57,120 --> 01:46:58,720
Speaker 1: gotta live with the results after that. Of course. One

2217
01:46:58,760 --> 01:47:00,720
Speaker 1: of the great stories about this game deals with you

2218
01:47:00,920 --> 01:47:03,360
Speaker 1: and your family. Tremaine Edmunds to the bill is going

2226
01:47:25,120 --> 01:47:27,000
Speaker 1: game plan, just about how amazing is going to be

2227
01:47:27,080 --> 01:47:30,960
Speaker 1: out there this Sunday. Did you guys realize it's happened

2228
01:47:31,120 --> 01:47:34,680
Speaker 1: once before in the history of the NFL that a

2229
01:47:34,800 --> 01:47:38,000
Speaker 1: family has had three guys in the same game. It

2230
01:47:38,120 --> 01:47:42,519
Speaker 1: was the Rooney Brothers for the Duluth Eskimos in nineteen

2231
01:47:42,720 --> 01:47:45,760
Speaker 1: twenty seven. It's the only other time three brothers have

2232
01:47:45,880 --> 01:47:48,160
Speaker 1: been on the field in an NFL game. That's gotta

2233
01:47:48,160 --> 01:47:51,479
Speaker 1: be kind of means something to you guys. Yes, sir,

2234

01:48:31,120 --> 01:48:34,120
Speaker 1: connection to your family. Your dad, Ferroll was a great

2252
01:48:34,160 --> 01:48:36,040
Speaker 1: tight end for the Miami Dolphins, as you guys know

2253
01:48:36,160 --> 01:48:39,400
Speaker 1: that right. I played against him as a as a

2254
01:48:39,479 --> 01:48:41,840
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill, and then we were teammates in the Pro

2255
01:48:41,960 --> 01:48:43,960
Speaker 1: Bowl together a couple of times as well, and I

2256
01:48:44,040 --> 01:48:46,000
Speaker 1: had a chance to say hello to him in Carolina

2257
01:48:46,360 --> 01:48:48,679
Speaker 1: this last year. What are your Your mom and dad

2258
01:48:49,160 --> 01:48:54,320
Speaker 1: must be losing their minds over this game. No, you're right, Um,

2259
01:48:54,520 --> 01:48:56,679
Speaker 1: just talking to my mom and dad. They're definitely excited.

2260
01:48:57,080 --> 01:48:59,360
Speaker 1: I mean, it's an exciting thing for my whole family.

2261
01:48:59,400 --> 01:49:01,679
Speaker 1: I think we have a busload of people, maybe fifty

2262
01:49:01,720 --> 01:49:04,280
Speaker 1: plus people coming to the game. So it's definitely going

2263
01:49:04,320 --> 01:49:06,639
Speaker 1: to be exciting. Something big for our city, some something

2264
01:49:06,720 --> 01:49:10,160
Speaker 1: big for our family is just a blessing. Honestly, Tremaine,

2265
01:49:10,200 --> 01:49:12,000
Speaker 1: I can tell you're the younger brother. You always you

2266
01:49:12,040 --> 01:49:16,439

01:49:17,000 --> 01:49:19,080
Speaker 1: laid back brother, you know. I just sit back, you know,

Speaker 1: get a chance to see each other before the game

2272
01:49:27,600 --> 01:49:29,519
Speaker 1: or you gonna have to wait till afterwards to greet

2273
01:49:29,560 --> 01:49:31,560
Speaker 1: the family. I know Tremaine is the visitor coming in.

2274
01:49:31,680 --> 01:49:33,840
Speaker 1: You guys probably have more of an opportunity down in

2275
01:49:33,920 --> 01:49:37,400
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh to see your family before the game. Um, yes,

2276
01:49:37,439 --> 01:49:39,519
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try to come and pick up Tremaine before

2277
01:49:39,560 --> 01:49:42,320
Speaker 1: the game, just depending on that schedule, and just um

2278
01:49:42,880 --> 01:49:44,760
Speaker 1: hang out, have some family time, have a good time

2279
01:49:44,800 --> 01:49:47,040
Speaker 1: with the family, enjoyed the moment, and then it's all

2280
01:49:47,120 --> 01:49:49,040
Speaker 1: game time. We both have to put on our game faces, right.

2281
01:49:49,080 --> 01:49:50,880
Speaker 1: Hopefully take me to a nice restaurant out there. We

2282
01:49:50,920 --> 01:49:56,240
Speaker 1: can get some good food before we go home. The

2283
01:49:56,360 --> 01:50:00,479
Speaker 1: home guy pays, right, is that? Uh? Yeah, guy's gonna

2284
01:50:00,479 --> 01:50:03,439
Speaker 1: go to the stadium together. One. How's that gonna work out? Right? Nah,

2285
01:50:03,600 --> 01:50:07,840
Speaker 1: one's game time. It's time to lock in. We're gonna do.

2286
01:50:08,479 --> 01:50:10,640
Speaker 1: What about Trey? How does he the oldest brother, right,

2287
01:50:10,720 --> 01:50:12,800
Speaker 1: the fallback for the Steelers, Tremine, How does he fit

2288
01:50:12,840 --> 01:50:15,160
Speaker 1: into all this? Well? You hang with him too, Yeah, definitely.

2289
01:50:15,200 --> 01:50:17,240
Speaker 1: I mean they'd probably be together when he come get me. So,

2290
01:50:17,520 --> 01:50:19,120
Speaker 1: I mean, we're just all gonna spend some time together

2291
01:50:19,200 --> 01:50:21,200
Speaker 1: while we can. But uh, you know, once I get

2292
01:50:21,200 --> 01:50:22,800
Speaker 1: back to the hotel, now it's time for us to

2293
01:50:22,840 --> 01:50:24,479
Speaker 1: lock and get ready for the game the next day.

2294
01:50:24,560 --> 01:50:27,519
Speaker 1: I'm I had three brothers, Steve, you had how many brothers?

2295
01:50:27,600 --> 01:50:30,280
Speaker 1: I had three brothers? Right? And I know this, um,

2296
01:50:30,920 --> 01:50:34,160
Speaker 1: growing up with your brothers, tremine, you argue, your fight,

2297
01:50:34,400 --> 01:50:36,559
Speaker 1: your tackle, you probably have wrestled with both these guys

2298
01:50:36,600 --> 01:50:39,360
Speaker 1: and tackled both of them, I would think at some point. Right, Yeah,

2299
01:50:39,400 --> 01:50:41,920
Speaker 1: it was. It was a very competitive household growing up.

2300
01:50:42,000 --> 01:50:44,640
Speaker 1: I mean we competed at everything. You know, even my

2301
01:50:44,760 --> 01:50:46,880
Speaker 1: brother could tell you. We play one on one against

2302
01:50:46,880 --> 01:50:48,479
Speaker 1: each other. Man, it's gonna go down to the y

2303
01:50:48,640 --> 01:50:51,599
Speaker 1: every time. But I mean that's just come with it, man.

2304
01:50:51,600 --> 01:50:53,360
Speaker 1: I think you know, we pushed each other every time

2305
01:50:53,400 --> 01:50:55,120
Speaker 1: we was out there. I think that's why you know

2306
01:50:55,160 --> 01:50:57,240
Speaker 1: we're the players were all the day because we just competed,

2307
01:50:57,560 --> 01:50:59,200
Speaker 1: and so every time we stuff foot out there, we

2308
01:50:59,280 --> 01:51:01,000
Speaker 1: knew it was getting others bess a game. Who won

2309
01:51:01,080 --> 01:51:06,120
Speaker 1: those fights till come on in the history books. Many's

2310
01:51:06,160 --> 01:51:07,680
Speaker 1: something you really don't want to bring up. Because the

2311
01:51:07,800 --> 01:51:09,479
Speaker 1: win to win games, they can they can be long.

2312
01:51:09,600 --> 01:51:13,440
Speaker 1: Sometimes people start calling the fouls out the blue ring

2313
01:51:14,240 --> 01:51:16,040
Speaker 1: left some time. Well, I gotta tell you, thank you

2314

2320
01:51:29,280 --> 01:51:31,560
Speaker 1: Bills Live coming to you from the Seneca Studio in

2321
01:51:31,680 --> 01:51:45,160
Speaker 1: Orchard Park on Buffabo Bills Radio. Welcome back, One Goes five,

2322
01:51:45,280 --> 01:51:49,720
Speaker 1: John Murphy, Steve Tansker, the show rolls along with a

2323
01:51:49,760 --> 01:51:54,240
Speaker 1: full head of steam. And yeah there were doubters. Cost

2324
01:51:54,320 --> 01:51:57,439
Speaker 1: me a buck. We had doubters, but there they were

2325
01:51:57,479 --> 01:52:00,240
Speaker 1: the Evans brothers, And I gotta say right now, I

2326
01:52:00,360 --> 01:52:04,200
Speaker 1: feel extremely guilty about not extending ourselves and getting Trey

2327
01:52:04,320 --> 01:52:07,240
Speaker 1: Edmunds on the show, the oldest of the three Edmunds brothers,

2328
01:52:07,560 --> 01:52:10,000
Speaker 1: the fullback. We just sort of pushed him aside, or

2329
01:52:10,040 --> 01:52:13,000
Speaker 1: he doesn't matter. Get these two, you know both both

2330
01:52:13,040 --> 01:52:14,680
Speaker 1: the only time two brothers have been drafted in the

2331
01:52:14,720 --> 01:52:17,840
Speaker 1: first round of an NFL draft Terrell and Trey. I

2332
01:52:17,960 --> 01:52:19,640
Speaker 1: just kind of feel sorry for the fullback. Is that

2333
01:52:19,720 --> 01:52:22,960
Speaker 1: okay to say Trey Admunds, he was an undrafted free agent,

2334
01:52:23,040 --> 01:52:25,040
Speaker 1: came into the league. I forget with whom, but wound

2335
01:52:25,120 --> 01:52:27,240
Speaker 1: up in Pittsburgh and there they are. Feel bad for

2336
01:52:27,320 --> 01:52:31,240
Speaker 1: the guy. What's he thinking now? I don't know. Well,

2337
01:52:31,280 --> 01:52:33,840
Speaker 1: you have brothers. What does the third brother who does

2338
01:52:33,920 --> 01:52:35,760
Speaker 1: not get in on that with us think If he's

2339
01:52:35,800 --> 01:52:37,479
Speaker 1: on a roster and he didn't have to come in

2340
01:52:37,520 --> 01:52:41,280
Speaker 1: and spend five minutes yaking with the radio guys, he's like, bro, thanks,

2341
01:52:42,000 --> 01:52:46,120
Speaker 1: thanks for thanks for doing that, and I didn't have to. Yeah, basically,

2342
01:52:46,920 --> 01:52:49,960
Speaker 1: he probably is. You know, it's good to see great kids.

2343
01:52:50,000 --> 01:52:53,360
Speaker 1: And as you said, and I'll never I probably will

2344
01:52:53,400 --> 01:52:57,240
Speaker 1: forget someday. But your conversation with the dad down in

2345
01:52:57,320 --> 01:53:00,400
Speaker 1: spart Farrell Farrell, it was amazing. I mean, you played

2346
01:53:00,400 --> 01:53:02,519
Speaker 1: against him, you played on Pro Bowl teams with him.

2347
01:53:02,560 --> 01:53:08,599
Speaker 1: The guy is a giant. Tremaine looks like his son. Yeah,

2348
01:53:08,640 --> 01:53:10,800
Speaker 1: I mean he looks like not quite as big as

2349
01:53:10,840 --> 01:53:14,720
Speaker 1: his dad. You know, that's how big Ferrell it still is.

2350
01:53:15,320 --> 01:53:17,400
Speaker 1: I forgot how big he was. And I played in

2351
01:53:17,439 --> 01:53:18,840
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl with him a couple of times and

2352
01:53:18,880 --> 01:53:20,840
Speaker 1: against him a bunch man. He was a big dude,

2353
01:53:21,320 --> 01:53:25,760
Speaker 1: big range again, just like just like Tremaine Godlee. I'm

2354
01:53:25,800 --> 01:53:28,720
Speaker 1: glad I'm retired. What do you think? We're asking you

2355
01:53:28,720 --> 01:53:30,920
Speaker 1: about Sunday's game and the impact of moving that game

2356
01:53:30,960 --> 01:53:34,880
Speaker 1: to Sunday. What imtact does the Bills at Steelers have

2357
01:53:35,160 --> 01:53:39,519
Speaker 1: being on Sunday night football? Pretty good tweet Twitter poll. Yeah,

2358
01:53:40,320 --> 01:53:42,639
Speaker 1: you were a doubter about it. Kind of was. Yeah,

2359
01:53:43,160 --> 01:53:45,920
Speaker 1: I was on my mind's on a hockey today. I'm

2360
01:53:45,920 --> 01:53:47,920
Speaker 1: just gonna go to hockey game tonight him. But yeah,

2361
01:53:47,920 --> 01:53:51,240
Speaker 1: the Twitter poll came out good. Most people think it

2362
01:53:51,360 --> 01:53:54,120
Speaker 1: is an advantage for Buffalo that the game was moved

2363
01:53:54,160 --> 01:53:56,560
Speaker 1: to Sunday night. I'm a little surprised by that. I

2364
01:53:56,640 --> 01:53:59,479
Speaker 1: would disagree with that. I think, yeah, I kind of

2365
01:53:59,520 --> 01:54:02,040
Speaker 1: think is a vantage Steelers. What's the impact of the

2366
01:54:02,200 --> 01:54:04,680
Speaker 1: game being on Sunday night football? Thirty seven percent of

2367
01:54:04,720 --> 01:54:07,840
Speaker 1: our Twitter respondents say it's an advantage for Buffalo. They've

2368
01:54:07,880 --> 01:54:10,599
Speaker 1: got something to prove. Thirty one say it's an advantage

2369
01:54:10,600 --> 01:54:13,719
Speaker 1: for the Steelers. They've got a great home primetime record

2370
01:54:13,760 --> 01:54:17,240
Speaker 1: in Hinesfield, twenty eight wins, nine losses, twenty two percent.

2371
01:54:17,439 --> 01:54:19,400
Speaker 1: This might look If I were a fan, I'd probably

2372
01:54:19,439 --> 01:54:21,679
Speaker 1: vote for Sea. Who cares this messes up my whole

2373
01:54:21,760 --> 01:54:24,040
Speaker 1: game day? Richel, it's not about it's not about these teams,

2374
01:54:24,120 --> 01:54:28,040
Speaker 1: about me, about my game day. I do. Yeah, I'm

2375
01:54:28,120 --> 01:54:33,440
Speaker 1: totally with you, but I'm surprised. But it is close.

2376
01:54:33,520 --> 01:54:36,160
Speaker 1: It's thirty seven percent to thirty one percent to twenty

2377
01:54:36,200 --> 01:54:38,920
Speaker 1: two percent. It's that's a pretty good Twitter poll. You

2423
01:56:36,920 --> 01:56:39,600
Speaker 1: one hundred fan experiences in the one hundredth year of

2424
01:56:39,640 --> 01:56:42,240

2428
01:56:52,440 --> 01:56:54,400

2429
01:56:54,440 --> 01:56:57,280
Speaker 1: seeing the facility, you know, seeing all the money that's

2430
01:56:57,320 --> 01:56:59,080
Speaker 1: gone into it, and certainly just you know, we got

2431
01:56:59,120 --> 01:57:01,560
Speaker 1: a little bit of a tour, certainly restricted a little

2432
01:57:01,560 --> 01:57:04,040
Speaker 1: bit just because it's you know, team operations are going

2433
01:57:04,080 --> 01:57:06,640
Speaker 1: on today, but getting a step in to see you know,

2434
01:57:06,680 --> 01:57:09,160
Speaker 1: the facility, it's just awesome. Everything is state of the art.

2435
01:57:09,240 --> 01:57:10,920
Speaker 1: It was. It was a great experience. What did coach

2436
01:57:10,960 --> 01:57:14,360
Speaker 1: Frasier tell you anything you can share with us? Yeah, yeah,

2437
01:57:14,360 --> 01:57:15,760
Speaker 1: I'll give us some insight, he was saying. You know,

2438
01:57:15,800 --> 01:57:19,000
Speaker 1: it seems like he's an extremely focused guy and above

2439
01:57:19,040 --> 01:57:20,800
Speaker 1: everything else, he was just he was a great guy

2440
01:57:20,880 --> 01:57:23,120
Speaker 1: to talk to, super nice as can be. You know,

2441
01:57:23,200 --> 01:57:25,360
Speaker 1: it was just great to talk to a former player

2442
01:57:25,440 --> 01:57:28,880
Speaker 1: like that and certainly a great Yeah, former players always

2443
01:57:29,040 --> 01:57:33,400
Speaker 1: have the ability to be, you know, fun to be around,

2444
01:57:33,400 --> 01:57:35,400
Speaker 1: because that right, Yeah, the kind of bros is that right,

2445
01:57:35,480 --> 01:57:40,160
Speaker 1: Not like broadcasters. Yeah, former players are fun. You gotta

2446
01:57:40,160 --> 01:57:41,720
Speaker 1: have room to pack yourself on the back over there

2447
01:57:42,320 --> 01:57:46,200
Speaker 1: are great guys, but no, Leslie Frasier has always had

2448
01:57:46,280 --> 01:57:48,440
Speaker 1: a reputation of being even when he was an interim

2449
01:57:48,520 --> 01:57:51,240
Speaker 1: coach of the Vikings, the players respond to him. He's

2450
01:57:51,240 --> 01:57:54,600
Speaker 1: a great communicator. Um, I've enjoyed my conversations with him

2451
01:57:54,640 --> 01:57:56,840
Speaker 1: as well. That's a that's a great experience. You're right

2452
01:57:57,160 --> 01:58:01,320
Speaker 1: coming in. Being able to have lunch with a coordinator

2453
01:58:01,840 --> 01:58:03,440
Speaker 1: of a team that's got a chance to clinch a

2454
01:58:03,480 --> 01:58:06,760
Speaker 1: playoff spot in like three days, four days, that's pretty cool.

2455
01:58:07,000 --> 01:58:09,800
Speaker 1: That's pretty cool. I'll tell you this, man. I don't

2456
01:58:09,800 --> 01:58:11,400
Speaker 1: know if it's similar to your experience. I mean, we

2457
01:58:11,480 --> 01:58:13,320
Speaker 1: both work here. But a couple of years, about a

2458
01:58:13,400 --> 01:58:17,280
Speaker 1: year ago, I went to uh cleiinance music called BPO

2459
01:58:17,640 --> 01:58:20,000
Speaker 1: with my wife and across the aisle from us, right there,

2460
01:58:20,120 --> 01:58:22,360
Speaker 1: same road, was coach Frazer and his wife and we

2461
01:58:22,480 --> 01:58:25,120
Speaker 1: had a great time just talking, just chatting, you know,

2462
01:58:25,160 --> 01:58:27,360
Speaker 1: in the intermission and before the show, he is a

2463
01:58:27,480 --> 01:58:30,200
Speaker 1: he is a yea and the seat I'm just kidding

2464
01:58:30,280 --> 01:58:31,640
Speaker 1: him about a former player. This is not just a

2465
01:58:31,720 --> 01:58:35,200
Speaker 1: former player. This guy played on History. He played on

2466
01:58:35,280 --> 01:58:37,480
Speaker 1: in historic team. He's got stories. Did he share those

2467
01:58:37,520 --> 01:58:41,040
Speaker 1: with you, Matt? Well, yeah, And touching on what you said, John,

2468
01:58:41,080 --> 01:58:42,520
Speaker 1: just being least such a great guy. You know, if

2469
01:58:42,520 --> 01:58:44,120
Speaker 1: you if you didn't know, if you if he wasn't

2470
01:58:44,160 --> 01:58:46,360
Speaker 1: introduced as a former player or a coach, you would

2471
01:58:46,400 --> 01:58:48,120
Speaker 1: never know it. No, And it was kind of the

2472
01:58:48,160 --> 01:58:50,640
Speaker 1: humbling experience. But I said across from you know, again,

2473
01:58:50,680 --> 01:58:52,920
Speaker 1: across the aisle, same road, BPO, and we didn't say

2474
01:58:52,960 --> 01:58:55,240
Speaker 1: a word about the Buffalo Bills or about football. It

2475
01:58:55,360 --> 01:58:57,240
Speaker 1: was about everything else. That's the kind of guy he is.

2476
01:58:57,320 --> 01:59:01,320
Speaker 1: He's really bright, don't you think, right, Yeah, definitely, And

2477
01:59:01,520 --> 01:59:03,440
Speaker 1: it was great because we talked about, you know, a

2478
01:59:03,520 --> 01:59:04,880
Speaker 1: lot of things. You know, we had about an hour

2479
01:59:04,920 --> 01:59:07,040
Speaker 1: with him, so we were just talking about things outside

2480
01:59:07,040 --> 01:59:09,120
Speaker 1: of football, but certainly we tried to concern on football.

2481
01:59:09,120 --> 01:59:11,000
Speaker 1: And yeah, what you said about the Bears. Yeah, I

2482
01:59:11,000 --> 01:59:13,800
Speaker 1: mean he talked about, you know, just the different experiences

2483
01:59:13,840 --> 01:59:16,120
Speaker 1: that he had and what was one of the best

2484
01:59:16,160 --> 01:59:19,040
Speaker 1: things was this that he showed and said that, you know,

2485
01:59:19,160 --> 01:59:22,240
Speaker 1: gave some stories about Bills fans and how you know,

2486
01:59:22,320 --> 01:59:24,360
Speaker 1: certainly being around the NFL and being in different cities

2487
01:59:24,360 --> 01:59:27,160
Speaker 1: and environments. He just said that how it is head

2488
01:59:27,240 --> 01:59:29,440
Speaker 1: and shoulders and just somebody who doesn't have a bias

2489
01:59:29,480 --> 01:59:32,320
Speaker 1: so to say, you know, someone who has experienced other

2490
01:59:32,920 --> 01:59:35,240
Speaker 1: organizations and everything. He just said that, you know, the

2491
01:59:35,280 --> 01:59:37,360
Speaker 1: fans and everything. It's just it's just nice to know

2492
01:59:37,560 --> 01:59:39,760
Speaker 1: that it is truly you know, experienced for these guys

2493
01:59:39,800 --> 01:59:41,800
Speaker 1: as well coaches and play Yeah, I'm glad you have

2494
01:59:41,840 --> 01:59:43,600
Speaker 1: a good experience with that man, Thanks for sharing them

2495
01:59:43,600 --> 01:59:47,760
Speaker 1: with all. That's great. And I've heard that from other

2496
01:59:47,840 --> 01:59:49,720
Speaker 1: guys too when I was in the league, And I

2497
01:59:49,840 --> 01:59:52,200
Speaker 1: told you one of the favorite guys that I used

2498
01:59:52,240 --> 01:59:54,760
Speaker 1: to play for have ever played for, aside from leaving

2499
01:59:54,800 --> 01:59:57,280
Speaker 1: all the guys here, but Jerry Glanville. They an old coach.

2500
01:59:57,320 --> 01:59:59,400
Speaker 1: He coach for the Houston Oilers. He was, he's a

2501
01:59:59,440 --> 02:00:02,640
Speaker 1: coordinator here. He was a coordinator in Detroit. He was

2502
02:00:02,680 --> 02:00:04,360
Speaker 1: a coordinator at Land. He's a head coach for the

2503
02:00:04,400 --> 02:00:06,600
Speaker 1: Houston Oilers and the Atlanta Falcon's got those teams in

2504
02:00:06,640 --> 02:00:08,520
Speaker 1: the playoffs as well. So Jerry Glanville is the guy

2505
02:00:08,560 --> 02:00:12,240
Speaker 1: that used to leave tickets for Elvis right and where

2506
02:00:12,280 --> 02:00:14,760
Speaker 1: boots and stuff on the sidelines. It was just a

2507
02:00:14,880 --> 02:00:17,840
Speaker 1: fun guy and if you weren't having fun, you weren't

2508
02:00:17,840 --> 02:00:20,480
Speaker 1: doing it right in his mind right. And he told me,

2509
02:00:21,120 --> 02:00:23,920
Speaker 1: he goes, I gotta tell you. And when word came

2510
02:00:23,960 --> 02:00:26,640
Speaker 1: that I was going to Buffalo, he had told me

2511
02:00:26,720 --> 02:00:32,879
Speaker 1: point blank, he said, listen, my wife wept twice over Buffalo.

2512
02:00:33,000 --> 02:00:35,120
Speaker 1: She goes, she wept when we heard that we had

2513
02:00:35,160 --> 02:00:37,320
Speaker 1: to move to Buffalo to get a coaching job. She

2514
02:00:37,480 --> 02:00:40,120
Speaker 1: cried and She cried when we left too, because she'd

2515
02:00:40,120 --> 02:00:42,160
Speaker 1: grown to love it so much. And that is typical

2516
02:00:42,600 --> 02:00:44,400
Speaker 1: of what a lot of people find out and what

2517
02:00:44,560 --> 02:00:46,000
Speaker 1: you know, Well, you and I, You're life are here,

2518
02:00:46,040 --> 02:00:49,440
Speaker 1: and now so am I. People hate it before they

2519
02:00:49,520 --> 02:00:51,200
Speaker 1: get here. They think it's gonna you know, they think

2520
02:00:51,240 --> 02:00:53,880
Speaker 1: it's gonna be snow until June and all that, and

2521
02:00:54,280 --> 02:00:56,640
Speaker 1: it's I'm just close. Yeah, we got a late snow.

2522
02:00:56,680 --> 02:00:58,640
Speaker 1: We got a late snow this year. Didn't it snowed

2523
02:00:58,640 --> 02:01:00,400
Speaker 1: all the way until June thirtieth, But we had a

2524
02:01:00,440 --> 02:01:03,240
Speaker 1: long summer, didn't snow till late July. So you know

2525
02:01:03,360 --> 02:01:06,640
Speaker 1: that kind of thing, right. But people love it. Coaches

2526
02:01:06,680 --> 02:01:08,280
Speaker 1: love it. The people who've come in here with this

2527
02:01:08,480 --> 02:01:11,520
Speaker 1: organization in the NFL, who've spent time here, it's been

2528
02:01:11,560 --> 02:01:14,720
Speaker 1: a positive experience almost universally for all of them. And

2529
02:01:14,840 --> 02:01:18,960
Speaker 1: I think that has been kind of the you know,

2530
02:01:19,080 --> 02:01:21,680
Speaker 1: kind of a badge that I've worn a lot around

2531
02:01:21,840 --> 02:01:25,120
Speaker 1: that has never never failed. It's it's really been true

2532
02:01:25,120 --> 02:01:27,520
Speaker 1: with people who've been here have loved it. Steve, I've

2533
02:01:27,600 --> 02:01:29,400
Speaker 1: got a I'm changing up to here. I've got a

2534
02:01:30,240 --> 02:01:32,800
Speaker 1: list in my head I will eventually put on paper

2535
02:01:33,600 --> 02:01:35,640
Speaker 1: once the Bills clinch, and I think it could be

2536
02:01:35,720 --> 02:01:37,840
Speaker 1: this Sunday. Once they clinch. I've got to listen. I

2537
02:01:37,920 --> 02:01:41,040
Speaker 1: had a potential show topics for US okay, and I

2538
02:01:41,080 --> 02:01:42,560
Speaker 1: don't want to You're right, we can't do it now.

2539
02:01:42,600 --> 02:01:46,280
Speaker 1: They haven't clinch hit. That's paramount. Number One on my list, though, is,

2540
02:01:46,640 --> 02:01:48,640
Speaker 1: as I told you the other day, what's the best

2541
02:01:48,680 --> 02:01:50,840
Speaker 1: matchup for the Bills. Is it Tennessee? It's at Houston?

2542
02:01:50,960 --> 02:01:52,760
Speaker 1: Is a Kansas city? What are you looking for? We

2543
02:01:52,800 --> 02:01:55,000
Speaker 1: won't talk about it until they clinch, and I do

2544
02:01:55,120 --> 02:01:57,480
Speaker 1: hope it's this Sunday. The other thing on my list

2545
02:01:57,640 --> 02:02:01,320
Speaker 1: is is the coaching season cranks up? Maybe this waits

2546
02:02:01,320 --> 02:02:04,640
Speaker 1: a week we gonna lose. Leslie Frasier would be a

2547
02:02:04,640 --> 02:02:06,880
Speaker 1: strong candidate. Who it was it you and I talking

2548
02:02:06,880 --> 02:02:08,400
Speaker 1: about this the other day, about how there might be

2549
02:02:08,440 --> 02:02:10,400
Speaker 1: a move in the league to get guys instead of

2550
02:02:10,440 --> 02:02:12,680
Speaker 1: the guys the brandon instead of the tailors and the

2551
02:02:12,720 --> 02:02:15,280
Speaker 1: guys who just jumped in last year, somebody who's been

2552
02:02:15,320 --> 02:02:18,160
Speaker 1: a head coach before, right, Roslie Frasier fits the bill.

2553
02:02:18,280 --> 02:02:23,240
Speaker 1: The Ron Rivera's Jack del Rio's Uh, you can go

2554
02:02:24,240 --> 02:02:27,000
Speaker 1: down the list. Guys who are fresh out of the

2555
02:02:27,080 --> 02:02:29,080
Speaker 1: league who want to come back in and try and

2556
02:02:29,160 --> 02:02:32,840
Speaker 1: have a chance at it with a different atmosphere. You

2557
02:02:32,960 --> 02:02:35,560
Speaker 1: know there's gonna be and which which jobs are going

2558
02:02:35,600 --> 02:02:40,320
Speaker 1: to be open? You know, uh, it's it's fascinating. Plus

2559
02:02:40,920 --> 02:02:43,000
Speaker 1: why not Leslie Frasier? Who would not want to talk

2560
02:02:43,000 --> 02:02:45,080
Speaker 1: to that guy? A record of success as a head

2561
02:02:45,120 --> 02:02:47,400
Speaker 1: coach and a tremendous record here. Now it's gonna be

2562
02:02:47,440 --> 02:02:49,280
Speaker 1: three straight years with one of the best defenses in

2563
02:02:49,320 --> 02:02:52,320
Speaker 1: the league, a great leader, one of the best defense

2564
02:02:52,400 --> 02:02:56,320
Speaker 1: in the league, and no Pro bowlers. Yeah, that's pretty

2565
02:02:56,440 --> 02:03:00,400
Speaker 1: that's pretty impressive. Now here's what when they're well coordinated. Yeah,

2566
02:03:00,720 --> 02:03:03,400
Speaker 1: teams like to hire offensive guys, all right, whatever, but

2567
02:03:03,520 --> 02:03:06,120
Speaker 1: maybe somebody takes a chance, as you know, on a

2568
02:03:06,200 --> 02:03:08,280
Speaker 1: defensive guy, or maybe it's not even a chance. By

2569
02:03:08,280 --> 02:03:09,680
Speaker 1: the way, the Bills do them pretty good with their

2570
02:03:09,720 --> 02:03:13,600
Speaker 1: own defensive minded head coach. And I just think he

2571
02:03:13,720 --> 02:03:15,720
Speaker 1: is a logical guy. And we talk about day Ball

2572
02:03:15,760 --> 02:03:18,240
Speaker 1: a lot. If the Bills finished the season as most

2573
02:03:18,280 --> 02:03:20,360
Speaker 1: of us think they will, with the playoff spot and

2574
02:03:20,440 --> 02:03:22,360
Speaker 1: maybe a win or two in the playoffs, why not

2575
02:03:22,480 --> 02:03:24,880
Speaker 1: Brian day Ball? Who would not want Brian dabble as

2576
02:03:24,920 --> 02:03:26,880
Speaker 1: a head coach if if the Bill, Now this is

2577
02:03:26,880 --> 02:03:28,640
Speaker 1: a big if, I get it. But if the Bills

2578
02:03:28,680 --> 02:03:31,800
Speaker 1: make a deep run, getting the wildcard win, it get

2579
02:03:31,840 --> 02:03:33,920
Speaker 1: a division round win, it get to the championship game,

2580
02:03:34,640 --> 02:03:38,520
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, Brian day Ball becomes an absolute

2581
02:03:38,640 --> 02:03:41,080
Speaker 1: lock to be a head coach because he will have

2582
02:03:41,160 --> 02:03:45,520
Speaker 1: taken a quarterback of the nature of controversial and polarizing

2583
02:03:45,600 --> 02:03:48,080
Speaker 1: as our Josh Allen had been as as a draft

2584
02:03:48,160 --> 02:03:50,520
Speaker 1: pick and made him into that or this guy or

2585
02:03:50,560 --> 02:03:52,520
Speaker 1: that we see in a weekend and now we're seeing

2586
02:03:53,280 --> 02:03:56,720
Speaker 1: you know, inconsistencies. But you know when this guy's hitting,

2587
02:03:57,560 --> 02:04:02,640
Speaker 1: you can't beat him. Yeah, he'll get credit for that. So, yeah,

2588
02:04:02,760 --> 02:04:04,560
Speaker 1: you could lose either one of these guys. But I

2589
02:04:04,680 --> 02:04:08,360
Speaker 1: think as far as as it stands right now, Leslie

2590
02:04:08,400 --> 02:04:12,000
Speaker 1: Frazier's the more attractive of the two. Brian Daboles still

2591
02:04:12,000 --> 02:04:13,720
Speaker 1: I think has some work to do because of the

2592
02:04:13,760 --> 02:04:16,600
Speaker 1: struggles the offense's head and I'll just score points. But

2593
02:04:16,640 --> 02:04:18,480
Speaker 1: if they make a deep run, man, all bets are off,

2594
02:04:18,480 --> 02:04:21,920
Speaker 1: we'll lose both those guys. Right again, this is the show.

2595
02:04:22,160 --> 02:04:24,560
Speaker 1: Once the Bill's clinch, This is a show that we

2596
02:04:24,640 --> 02:04:27,720
Speaker 1: will talk about, right, I want to do it. Yeah,

2597
02:04:27,800 --> 02:04:29,600
Speaker 1: we'll put it. We'll put it on the white board

2598
02:04:29,720 --> 02:04:32,880
Speaker 1: with the eraser at hand. Yeah. Time now for NFL

2599
02:04:32,960 --> 02:04:35,000
Speaker 1: Tour or false brought to you by Yancey's, Fancy New

2600
02:04:35,080 --> 02:04:37,280
Speaker 1: York's artists and Cheese. Are you ready? Here we go?

2601
02:04:37,880 --> 02:04:40,160
Speaker 1: Tour or false? I don't know where this came from.

2602
02:04:40,240 --> 02:04:42,720
Speaker 1: I'm going false even before I say it. Drew Locke

2603
02:04:43,520 --> 02:04:45,880
Speaker 1: is the Denver Brocco's the best quarterback from the twenty

2604
02:04:45,960 --> 02:04:49,600
Speaker 1: nineteen rookie class. False. I watched Kyla Murray play against

2605
02:04:49,600 --> 02:04:51,560
Speaker 1: the Steelers. I watch that game twice now this week.

2606
02:04:51,800 --> 02:04:54,960
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray's really good, and he is He's got a

2607
02:04:55,080 --> 02:04:57,960
Speaker 1: ton of skills, and he is undisciplined, and he is

2608
02:04:58,040 --> 02:04:59,840
Speaker 1: learning out of playe and he threw some bad inner

2609
02:05:00,000 --> 02:05:02,480
Speaker 1: options last week. But this guy is there's an awful

2610
02:05:02,560 --> 02:05:04,840
Speaker 1: lot to work with with Kyler Murray out there in Arizona,

2611
02:05:05,040 --> 02:05:07,160
Speaker 1: and I think he's gonna get it right eventually. But

2612
02:05:07,600 --> 02:05:10,280
Speaker 1: Drew Locke is maybe, you know, the fifth best quarterback

2613
02:05:10,320 --> 02:05:12,800
Speaker 1: in the twenty nineteen right, I mean, Duck Hodges is

2614
02:05:12,840 --> 02:05:14,960
Speaker 1: better than that guy, you know, Yeah? I agree? I mean,

2615
02:05:15,040 --> 02:05:17,960
Speaker 1: come on, yeah, I agree with you, Drew Locke good.

2616
02:05:18,320 --> 02:05:20,080
Speaker 1: I'm not saying Drew Locke is a bust or anything

2617
02:05:20,120 --> 02:05:21,960
Speaker 1: like that. I'm just saying there are other guys that

2618
02:05:22,040 --> 02:05:24,600
Speaker 1: I think have been more productive. I think show more promise,

2619
02:05:25,320 --> 02:05:28,720
Speaker 1: sums up with this stuff. Number two NFL tru or folds.

2620
02:05:28,720 --> 02:05:31,120
Speaker 1: That's why we don't do this enough, because they're lame.

2621
02:05:31,520 --> 02:05:33,560
Speaker 1: George Kittle is the best tight end in the NFL

2622
02:05:33,720 --> 02:05:36,960
Speaker 1: right now. Okay, I'll say true. I don't feel real

2623
02:05:37,000 --> 02:05:38,880
Speaker 1: strongly about it. I've only watched the nine Ers maybe

2624
02:05:39,160 --> 02:05:41,520
Speaker 1: two or three times this year, but I can't dispute

2625
02:05:41,600 --> 02:05:43,840
Speaker 1: telling you. In the interest of being a prisoner of

2626
02:05:43,880 --> 02:05:46,360
Speaker 1: the moment, I'll say Zach Ertz is pretty good too.

2627
02:05:46,520 --> 02:05:48,680
Speaker 1: He won an overtime game this last week for the

2628
02:05:48,720 --> 02:05:52,560
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles. But Kittle's really good. So's Travis Kelsey is

2629
02:05:52,560 --> 02:05:56,400
Speaker 1: a very good tight end and the tight end we

2630
02:05:56,440 --> 02:05:58,920
Speaker 1: saw last week. David Andrews, you have a claim to

2631
02:05:58,960 --> 02:06:01,560
Speaker 1: be a Pro Bowl tight end. Kittle's in the conversation,

2632
02:06:01,760 --> 02:06:03,520
Speaker 1: but I and I would, but I would not give it,

2633
02:06:04,240 --> 02:06:06,040
Speaker 1: like just give it to him. I think there's other

2634
02:06:06,120 --> 02:06:07,680
Speaker 1: guys that are. You'd have to look at their total

2635
02:06:07,720 --> 02:06:10,200
Speaker 1: body work guy. But man, oh man Kittle can play.

2636
02:06:10,720 --> 02:06:14,120
Speaker 1: He's good. Yeah he is. And finally, NFL true or false,

2637
02:06:14,520 --> 02:06:17,480
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston will I will wind up leading the league

2638
02:06:17,480 --> 02:06:21,240
Speaker 1: in both interceptions and touchdowns. That could happen. I'm gonna

2639
02:06:21,240 --> 02:06:25,440
Speaker 1: say true. And that is not a winning formula, by

2640
02:06:25,480 --> 02:06:27,920
Speaker 1: the way, So if you're rooting for that as a

2641
02:06:28,200 --> 02:06:31,080
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers fan, think again. You're right. They just

2642
02:06:31,160 --> 02:06:34,000
Speaker 1: fling it all over the place and whatever happens happens. True,

2643
02:06:34,080 --> 02:06:36,000
Speaker 1: that could happen. I could see that. Yeah, it could happen.

2644
02:06:36,440 --> 02:06:41,280
Speaker 1: It certainly, he could leading in interceptions touchdowns. Maybe somebody

2645
02:06:41,280 --> 02:06:43,640
Speaker 1: will nip him at the end. And you know, losing

2646
02:06:43,680 --> 02:06:45,360
Speaker 1: a guy like Mike Evins to a hamstring and we

2647
02:06:45,440 --> 02:06:48,200
Speaker 1: just saw a might have something to do with it.

2648
02:06:48,280 --> 02:06:51,240
Speaker 1: But you know, it's fun to think about. And I

2649
02:06:51,320 --> 02:06:53,680
Speaker 1: don't know what do you do if you're Tampa Bay

2650
02:06:53,720 --> 02:06:56,920
Speaker 1: with that guy? Let him go? Yeah, right, I do

2651
02:06:57,480 --> 02:06:59,520
Speaker 1: leads the league in touchdowns and you're gonna let him

2652
02:06:59,520 --> 02:07:05,240
Speaker 1: go if he does. Yeah, I'd say it could be true.

2653
02:07:05,320 --> 02:07:10,280
Speaker 1: I'd say true. But I think that's fascinating. This there's

2654
02:07:10,280 --> 02:07:12,320
Speaker 1: so many moving parts to a football team. And we've

2655
02:07:12,320 --> 02:07:15,440
Speaker 1: seen so many weird things happen that think about the track.

2656
02:07:15,720 --> 02:07:18,640
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston and Marcus Mariota both came out together. Everybody

2657
02:07:18,680 --> 02:07:20,240
Speaker 1: wished they had one of those guys, and now they're

2658
02:07:20,280 --> 02:07:22,200
Speaker 1: both gonna leave those teams in the next coming year,

2659
02:07:22,360 --> 02:07:25,360
Speaker 1: coming twelve months. Amazing, not even get to their second contract.

2660
02:07:25,400 --> 02:07:28,080
Speaker 1: There you go. NFL True fALS presented by Yancey's Fancy

2661
02:07:28,160 --> 02:07:30,440
Speaker 1: New York Stutters and Cheese. We have an update now

2662
02:07:30,560 --> 02:07:34,040
Speaker 1: from Steeler's practice, Stealer Nation tweeting this out seconds ago.

2663
02:07:34,120 --> 02:07:38,640
Speaker 1: You're ready. Steeler's wide receiver Juju smith Shuster exited practice

2664
02:07:38,760 --> 02:07:41,840
Speaker 1: early today. His status for Sunday is now in doubt.

2665
02:07:41,920 --> 02:07:45,040
Speaker 1: He went full speed yesterday in practice. Juju smith Shuster,

2666
02:07:45,160 --> 02:07:47,560
Speaker 1: coming back from his injury, missed the last three left

2667
02:07:47,600 --> 02:07:51,080
Speaker 1: practice early today and Steeler Nation reports his status for

2668
02:07:51,200 --> 02:07:55,640
Speaker 1: Sunday now in doubt. Okay, does he look. I'm not

2669
02:07:55,800 --> 02:07:58,320
Speaker 1: scared by Juju smith Shuster. He is their best receiver

2670
02:07:58,920 --> 02:08:02,320
Speaker 1: they certainly have missed. They're getting contributions from several other

2671
02:08:02,440 --> 02:08:05,520
Speaker 1: receivers over the last couple of weeks, including the rookie

2672
02:08:05,560 --> 02:08:10,600
Speaker 1: who had a big game just last week. Um Deonte Johnson,

2673
02:08:11,040 --> 02:08:14,800
Speaker 1: James Washington is pretty steady. Dion Kane, former Colts receiver,

2674
02:08:15,240 --> 02:08:16,880
Speaker 1: is a guy who's caught some passes for it. So

2675
02:08:17,000 --> 02:08:21,000
Speaker 1: that's that's that's interesting. Juju smith Shuster a practice earlier

2676
02:08:21,000 --> 02:08:25,160
Speaker 1: today in Pittsburgh, and his status isn't doubt Okay, it's well,

2677
02:08:25,200 --> 02:08:28,280
Speaker 1: it's certainly a benefit for the Bills. And I've you know,

2678
02:08:28,800 --> 02:08:32,040
Speaker 1: it's obvious. I mean here, Harry Am captain, obvious. They're

2679
02:08:32,080 --> 02:08:34,480
Speaker 1: not as good without good players. You know, when they're

2680
02:08:34,520 --> 02:08:37,080
Speaker 1: best players aren't playing. Juju smiths Schuster is one of

2681
02:08:37,120 --> 02:08:40,280
Speaker 1: their better players. They wish they had him. They're better

2682
02:08:40,600 --> 02:08:43,640
Speaker 1: with him than without him. There's no question. You can't

2683
02:08:43,640 --> 02:08:45,600
Speaker 1: even bend this in a way that it doesn't benefit

2684
02:08:45,640 --> 02:08:48,800
Speaker 1: the Bills unless it puts them in a place of complacency,

2685
02:08:48,880 --> 02:08:51,280
Speaker 1: which is laughable at this point. Right, all right, we

2686
02:08:51,360 --> 02:08:53,040
Speaker 1: got a break here, We're coming back to wrap things up.

2687
02:08:53,080 --> 02:08:55,000
Speaker 1: Come on back with us One Bill's Live, presented by

2688

2689
02:08:58,560 --> 02:09:17,600
Speaker 1: is Buffalo Bill's Radio. What have we learned from today's show?

2690
02:09:17,640 --> 02:09:21,040
Speaker 1: Brought to you by Skyworks, the official construction equipment rental

2691

Speaker 1: company of the Buffalo Bills. We had Chris Simms on

2692
02:09:23,280 --> 02:09:26,440
Speaker 1: the show. Veteran, a former NFL quarterback, veteran of eight

2693
02:09:26,560 --> 02:09:28,680
Speaker 1: years in the league. Now with the NFL on NBC.

2695
02:09:32,480 --> 02:09:34,640
Speaker 1: o'clock on the NBC Network. He'll be there Sunday when

2696
02:09:34,680 --> 02:09:36,520
Speaker 1: the Bills get set to play the Steelers. And we

2697
02:09:36,600 --> 02:09:39,640
Speaker 1: asked Chris Simms about this game the Bills in Pittsburgh

2698
02:09:39,680 --> 02:09:42,320
Speaker 1: Sunday and if the Bills need this win to legitimize

2699
02:09:42,360 --> 02:09:47,320
Speaker 1: themselves as a playoff contender. Here's what he said. One

2700
02:09:47,400 --> 02:09:50,160
Speaker 1: hundred percent. They are no doubt about it. And I

2701
02:09:50,200 --> 02:09:52,480
Speaker 1: mean the Buffalo Bill is that just what's being built

2702
02:09:52,520 --> 02:09:54,400
Speaker 1: there right now? I mean, first off, not only a

2703
02:09:54,520 --> 02:09:57,400
Speaker 1: legitimate playoff contender. You wouldn't want You don't want to

2704
02:09:57,400 --> 02:09:59,560
Speaker 1: see them in the playoffs. I don't care who it is.

2705
02:10:00,040 --> 02:10:02,040
Speaker 1: I mean, if it's Kansas City they end up having

2706
02:10:02,080 --> 02:10:05,040
Speaker 1: to go to, or Houston or whoever it is. Man,

2707
02:10:05,200 --> 02:10:08,640
Speaker 1: I wouldn't want to see Buffalo Bills in their running game.

2708
02:10:08,720 --> 02:10:11,320
Speaker 1: And Sean McDermot and his ability to game plan on

2709
02:10:11,480 --> 02:10:13,960
Speaker 1: defense and shut you out that way and then deal

2710
02:10:14,000 --> 02:10:16,720
Speaker 1: with Josh Allen and his running ability and that you

2711
02:10:16,800 --> 02:10:19,800
Speaker 1: know rifle he has for a right arm that's scary.

2712
02:10:20,200 --> 02:10:22,520
Speaker 1: You know, the Bills are really close to they're a

2713
02:10:22,640 --> 02:10:25,480
Speaker 1: really good team. They're really close to being a great team.

2714
02:10:25,560 --> 02:10:27,280
Speaker 1: I think, you know, this offseason they could just a

2715
02:10:27,400 --> 02:10:30,240
Speaker 1: weapon or two more around Josh Allen that offense, you

2716
02:10:30,320 --> 02:10:33,120
Speaker 1: guys could be special up there. I really do believe that.

2717
02:10:34,240 --> 02:10:38,080
Speaker 1: Chris Sims talking about the Bills legitimacy as a playoff contenduer.

2718
02:10:38,120 --> 02:10:39,880
Speaker 1: We had Hall of Famer Thurman Thomas down the show

2719
02:10:39,920 --> 02:10:42,760
Speaker 1: with us today as well, and Thurman was on the

2720
02:10:42,840 --> 02:10:45,840
Speaker 1: sidelines for the Bills lost Sunday against Baltimore, and here's

2721
02:10:45,880 --> 02:10:49,720
Speaker 1: what he said about that defeat. I just think there's

2722
02:10:49,760 --> 02:10:52,440
Speaker 1: another step in where these guys are and how good

2723
02:10:52,440 --> 02:10:54,760
Speaker 1: of a football team they can be. I mean, they

2724
02:10:54,880 --> 02:10:57,200
Speaker 1: did the best job of anybody a littlemar Jackson this

2725
02:10:57,360 --> 02:11:00,680
Speaker 1: year and you know at a time where when you

2726
02:11:00,760 --> 02:11:04,839
Speaker 1: look at the game, they're dbs there, really physical, real physical,

2727
02:11:04,880 --> 02:11:07,720
Speaker 1: and we got kind of small guys. It was a

2728
02:11:07,840 --> 02:11:10,960
Speaker 1: bad matchup. And you take this week with Pittsburgh, it's

2729
02:11:11,000 --> 02:11:13,440
Speaker 1: a better matchup for us because those guys aren't as

2730
02:11:13,520 --> 02:11:18,040
Speaker 1: physical Thurman's take on the game. A good show coming

2731
02:11:18,120 --> 02:11:20,280
Speaker 1: up tomorrow here might not be as good as today's,

2746
02:12:04,480 --> 02:12:07,080
