Speaker 1: Cutdown at a Steve Casker, who has been all over

2
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,640
Speaker 1: the field, kind of unique. He was kind of a

3
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:18,279
Speaker 1: dual role fighter for you, Steve a blimp. We're not

4
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 1: even in the credit bear of normalcy and down the

5
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 1: stretch State come the Buffalo Bills. Four games left. They've

Speaker 1: to David Singer Ferry Motors. You're trafing inside the tent,

10
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: inside the five. It's a touchdown. It's a Buffalo touchdown.

11
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: A snap looks right, fires right side. This one caught

12
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 1: five digs hit the one touchdown Buffalo. Stefan Dikes put

13
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 1: bad passmun around the defensive back and got into the

14
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:59,920

17
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: A five yard touchdown run by Cam Newton. He lined

18
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:14,280

19
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,800

22
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,680

23
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: the sack Ford Buffalo, fourth and ten. Here they go,

24
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:36,040
Speaker 1: here's the snam. Newton standing into the pocket, gets sacked again.

25
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: Obada brings him down. Jerry John's gonna throw it. I'll

26
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 1: play actions. Got a man wide open, Gabriel Davis touchdown, Buffalo.

27
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 1: Gabriel Davis wide open. I'll play action, touchdown, Buffalo, a

28
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: fourteen yard strike. Does that make you feel that about?

29
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: Globe headlines about this one? As the Bills get back

30
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 1: into the wind column with a thirty one fourteen win

31
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: over the Carolina Panther. All right, that is your Toshiba game.

32
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:06,559
Speaker 1: Rewind Toshiba, the official copier company of the Buffalo Bills.

33
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 1: Welcome to a Buffalo Football Monday, A victorious Monday, and

34
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 1: a welcome one at that. For Bills fans. Week fifteen

35
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: was a trifective Steve. The Bills win, the Patriots lose,

36
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: and Tom Brady gets shut out on Sunday Night Football.

37
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 1: If that's not a Bills fan trifecta, I don't know

38
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 1: what is Yes, I get it, no doubt that was

39
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 1: a It was an ugly win by the Saints last night,

40
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: but they got it done it. How about it? I mean,

41
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: the Bucks show up and they lose Leonard Fournette, they

42
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:48,359
Speaker 1: lose Mike Evans, and they lose who's the other g

43
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 1: Chris Godwin in a quarter and a half? Yeah there,

44
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 1: and they lose their their and everybody. And it looks

45
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: like Godwin's out for the rest of the regular season

46
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: with a sprained mcl. I didn't see any updates on

47
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 1: the other two, but those three guys go out. Saints

48
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 1: still a pretty good defense. They're really struggling on offense

49
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: with no real quarterback to speak of and a decimated

50
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: receiving corps. Gotta give it up to the Saints. They

51
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 1: didn't have their head coach last night either. Dennis Allen,

52
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 1: their defensive coordinator, was running the show. I'll put a

53
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: feather in his cap. A shutout of Tom Brady. It's

54
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 1: only the third time in Brady's career that he's been

55
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: shut out. First time since two thousand and six that

56
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,679
Speaker 1: he's been shut out in a game, first time ever,

57
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: I believe at home though, first time ever in his

58
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: home stadium. He's been shut out. Yeah, no, wonder he's

59
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: throwing tablets. It's good for him. It's it's character buildings,

60
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 1: character building for him. I love him. Run he'll thank us.

61
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: Just tell Tom to sit down with the kids, watch

62
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: a couple of Christmas specials this week and he'll be

63
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: all set. We highly recommend a year without a Santa Claus.

64
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: By the way, with Steve and I were having as yes,

65
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: we were having an in depth discussion. There's about favorite

66
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: Christmas specials and I mentioned a year with that if

67
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: Santa Claus was always my favorite, with the snow Miser

68
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: and the heat Biser, I agree there. Now I will

69
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:16,159
Speaker 1: say this too, it's not for like the little kids.

70
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: Not that it's not innocent enough it is, but it's

71
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 1: a lot, got a lot going on. There's the two

72
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,239
Speaker 1: elves with the reindeer, and I can't remember which reindeer

73
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 1: it is is the Smith's like Donna or Blitzen or

74
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: little it's a little one. And they go down and

75
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:33,039
Speaker 1: they get caught up with the local law enforcement and

76
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: it's a dog catcher and they dis guys and they

77
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: got that going on, and Missus Claus is involved she

78
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 1: has to go to Mother Nature herself, which is where

79
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 1: the heat miser, cold miser coming to kids. Then Santa

80
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: Claus snaps out of it because everybody's you know, gone haywire,

81
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: and he finally gets word somehow I can't even remember how. Yeah,

82
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: he was sick, that's what was sick. That's the whole

83
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 1: prem He's given up on Christmas because he gets some

84
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: bad report. Something happened somebody, oh one of it. Somebody

85
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,479
Speaker 1: writes a letter right and says, we don't believe me

86
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: and my friend whatever. I don't know if that's good,

87
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: but he gives up on it. So now he's down

88
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 1: and stuff. Everybody's trying to save the day. A lot

89
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: of heroism in this one. Um, but well they got

90
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: it's Mother Nature's gotta you know. Missus Claus calls into

91
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: favorite of Mother Nature. They needed to snow in Southtown,

92
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 1: right or something. It's never snowed there, and comic relief

93
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: is definitely heat miser snow minch. Oh my god, this

94
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: is a fantastic addition to to that that I recommend it.

Speaker 1: what was the other thing? The one Santa Claus? What was? Oh?

99
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: Santa Claus is coming to town as the Burgermeister. Meister

100
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,919
Speaker 1: Burgers a great one of the more underrated, short, temperate

101
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 1: characters of Christmas Special history. Yeah, Rudolph the Red Nose

102

109
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,120

112
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: get into the spirit of the season. Grinch is committing

113
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: outright crime here. I mean, what's the message? What are

114
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,760

Speaker 1: Jean Luke Piccard said, tresspassing, breaking and entering total grand

117
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 1: larceny depending on the value of the Christmas Christmas clean

118
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 1: people out right, I get it in the entire town.

119
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 1: There's another one, though, I like. It's called a Muppet

120
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 1: Christmas Carol with Michael Caine as rich. See now you're

124
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: It's my favorite of all the Christmas Carol stories that

125
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: held all the ones that even the old classic ones

126
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 1: and stuff, um, even the Bill Murray one. I'm it's

127
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 1: a better one than that. The Muppet Christmas Carol is

128
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 1: maybe one of my top five all time favorites of

129

00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,079
Speaker 1: the Christmas Carol. Jean Luke Piccard, the guy that played

00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 1: was that? I just saw it last night? The guy

169
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: who plays Jean Luke Piccard on the Star Trek, the guy,

170
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 1: Yes he is. I saw the one last night. He's

171
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:46,719
Speaker 1: playing the uh uh Ebenezer Scrooge in a live action one.

172
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 1: I saw him in one. I know there's a bunch.

173
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: It's amazing how many renditions of people who have played

174
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: Ebenezer Scrooge in a Christmas Carol. It's unbelievable. And so

175
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,679
Speaker 1: last night I saw that on for me, I couldn't want.

176
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: I didn't have time to watch the whole thing. So,

177
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 1: but yeah, that's it isn't in Pumpet Christmas Carol is

178
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,199
Speaker 1: the absolute best. Chuch is a good one. I will

179
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,719
Speaker 1: give you that, no question. Patrick Stewart is who that was? Yes,

180
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: thank you, Thomas Hollander, Oh, Jeff Colteneck our cruise on it.

181
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: Pop culture wizards. Uh, we will get back to what

182
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 1: went on in week fifteen. But we had to throw

183
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,199
Speaker 1: that in there. Some Christmas special preferences. Well it's we're

184
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 1: I am gonna need a review from you. We're gonna

185
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 1: have to get you to find that Emma Dater's jug

186
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: Band Christmas. Was it like one of those like Doctor

187
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 1: Seuss Charlie. Is it gonna be a thirty minute thing

188
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 1: or is it a two hour movie? I want to

189
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 1: say it's an hour. I think it's an hour because

190
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,079
Speaker 1: I don't you know, I'm I'll look it up and

191
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 1: I'll let you, but I need, I need a firm

192
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 1: review from you, because research. If your grandkids aren't glued,

193
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,199
Speaker 1: all hope is lost for the next genera. And see

194
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: what the grandkids? Yeah? Uh So elsewhere in Week fifteen, Okay,

195
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 1: here's where things stand. Oh my gosh, twenty eight teams

196
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 1: still in contention for the playoffs, some more more viable

197
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: than others of some are. There's only four teams that

198
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: have been mathematically eliminated with three regular season games to play.

199
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:19,439
Speaker 1: And then there's this Steve. No teams in the a

200
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:23,439
Speaker 1: FC clinched a playoff spot yet it's the first time

201
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 1: since two thousand and two that no one in the

202
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: AFC has clinched a playoff berth after Week fifteen. That's amazing,

203
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 1: But that is how tightly packed this group is. In

204
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:42,080
Speaker 1: the AFC eight teams with eight or more wins, twelve

205
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 1: teams with seven or more wins, and the Vegas Raiders

206
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: bring up the rear with six wins. They're the thirteenth.

207
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: They played tonight. You got the Jets Houston Jacksonville with three,

208
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 1: three and two wins respectively. So only three teams in

209
00:11:56,280 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: the a f C are like belly up. The big

210
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 1: move in the playoff standings involved two AFC North teams,

211
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: Cincinnati and Baltimore. Baltimore loses by one after going for

212
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: a two point conversion at the end of the well

213
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 1: with two minutes left in the game or less than

214
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 1: two minute under a minute to play in the game

215
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 1: for the second time in three weeks, and they don't

216
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: get it. They lose to the Packers, and that loss

217
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 1: proves costly because with Cincinnati's fifteen to ten win over

218
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 1: the Broncos, they improved to eight and six. Baltimore falls

219
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 1: to eight and six, and Cincinnati, with the intra division tiebreaker,

220
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:43,679
Speaker 1: takes the four spot as the division leader, and Baltimore

221
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 1: is completely out of the playoff picture right now now, Steve,

222
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 1: I know you've joked about how Cincinnati was like the

223
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,079
Speaker 1: cat's meal for a stretch and then all of a

224
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 1: sudden they were out of the playoff picture. Steve, I'm

225
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 1: gonna tell you right now, Baltimore, They've lost three straight

226
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 1: by a total of four points. They've lost three games

227
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 1: in a row by a total of four points. They

228
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 1: have gone from the number one seed to the eight

229
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: seed in four weeks. That's how nuts this is and

230
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 1: that is why, that is why you better just put

231
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 1: your head down and keep on winning, because some wacky

232
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 1: stuff take care of It's gonna happen here in the

233
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:31,439
Speaker 1: next three weeks. And if you're not doing your own job,

234
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 1: especially a team like Buffalo who still controls their own destiny.

235
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 1: They're in the seven spot and they control their own destiny.

236
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: That is a rarity in the Browns play. The Raiders

237
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 1: are in Cleveland tonight to play the Raid. The Browns

238
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 1: Raiders Browns tonight, five o'clock. That game kicks off, and

239
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 1: Bills fans are rooting for the Raiders in that one.

240
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 1: That both teams at seven and seven, which will set

241
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 1: them back. Browns, you don't need them to go eight

242
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 1: and six and match the Bills, so keep them at

243
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 1: seven seven. The Raiders will be seven and seven if

244
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 1: they can come into Cleveland and win tonight, well yeah,

245
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: And then tonight later on it's Vikings Bears, nobody cares.

246
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: And then tomorrow it's five and eight Seahawks nine and

247
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: four Rams. That's an NFC team and Bill's fans are

248
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 1: indifferent to that probably, and then Washington Philadelphia tomorrow night

249
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 1: as well at seven pm. Now we should note a

250
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 1: couple of things. Number One, the Browns still suffering from

251
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 1: a large number of players on their COVID reserve list.

252
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: They did get safety John Johnson back, so it looks

253
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 1: like they'll only be down nine starters instead of ten,

254
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 1: but coach Kevin Stefanski still on the COVID reserve list,

255
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 1: so he will not be on the sidelines tonight. This

256
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 1: happened to them in the playoffs as well. If you

257
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 1: remember last year when Kevin Stefanski went on COVID reserve

258
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 1: and Baker Mayfield and backup quarterback case Keenum both did

259
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 1: not get out of the testing protocols. This morning when

260
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: they tested, they are still positive. So it will be

261
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 1: Nick Mullins as the starting quarterback for the Browns tonight

262
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 1: at five after he was signed pretty much on Friday

263
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: to get ready for this game. So it will be

264
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 1: the starting quarterback tonight for the Browns against the Raiders.

265
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 1: And while, yes, Steve, you want the Browns to drop

266
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 1: to seven and seven and the Raiders to improve to

267
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 1: seven and seven, I believe this would move the Bills,

268
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 1: or if the Browns win, I'm sorry, if the Browns win,

269
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 1: it would move the Bills out of a playoff spot

270
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 1: out of seven, they would drop behind Cleveland, who would

271
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 1: then take over the seven spot. So or some combination thereof.

272
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 1: I don't know if the Browns might move into the

273
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 1: division lead and knock the Bengals down to seven and

274
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 1: then the Bills out. I don't know that it's not

275
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 1: a cause for concer. I don't know that we said

276
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 1: this on the air. We were talking about in the background.

277
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 1: Since nineteen ninety six, one of the four teams that

278
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 1: made the conference Championships games round of the previous year's

279
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 1: playoffs does not make the playoffs. That's a twenty five

280
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 1: year stretch, And of course we all know it was Buffalo,

281
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 1: Kansas City, Green Bay, Tampa Bay. Green Bay's the one

282
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 1: seed in the NFC, Tampa Bay's the three seed, in

283
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 1: Kansas City is the one seed in the AFC. Buffalo

284
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 1: is the seven seeds. So if that streat continues, who

285
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 1: do you think is the team that right now looks

286
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: like they may not make the playoffs? That's your Buffalo Bills.

287
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 1: The twenty five years streak of the four teams in

288
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 1: the championship round of the NFL playoffs, one of those

289
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 1: four teams has failed to make the playoffs twenty five years.

290
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 1: Streight right, But we have to remember there's seven teams

291
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 1: in the playoffs now, not six. I think that might

292
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 1: to an end as it sits here. That would be

293
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 1: we would be out of the playoffs in previous years

294
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 1: and we'd have to be fighting our way back in.

295
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 1: But we are sitting in the playoff spot right now.

296
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 1: Lots of low scoring games on Sunday as well, except

297
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 1: for those good old Detroit Lions. Steve, how about they

298
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 1: hang a thirty burger on the Arizona Cardinals, Bless their heart,

299
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 1: Cardinals first road loss this season. Now they are playing

300
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 1: without DeAndre Hopkins, presumably for the rest of the year

301
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:24,440
Speaker 1: at least. Those are the indications. And you know, we

302
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 1: talk all the time, Steve, about this being a week

303
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 1: to week league. We also see plenty examples of teams

304
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:39,679
Speaker 1: that kind of peak too early, and I think Arizona

305
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:43,159
Speaker 1: might fall into that category. Remember they sprinted out to

306
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 1: an eight no start, and of late they are they're

307
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 1: win lose, win lose, and they're they're having trouble, particularly

308
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 1: on defense, which was the one thing that carried them

309
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 1: through that three week stretch when they did not have

310
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins and Kyler Murray. They were eight they were

311
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:05,919
Speaker 1: eight no to start the season, and I think they

312
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 1: were like ten and one at one point. Now they're

313
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 1: they're one either two and four or one and three

314
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 1: from their last in their last number of games. So

315
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 1: they are having a tough go of it, and if

316
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 1: memory serves, I don't think the rest of their schedule

317
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,359
Speaker 1: is terribly easy either. Now they're gonna get into the playoffs.

318
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:26,399
Speaker 1: I mean, they only need a Minnesota loss, right and

319
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:30,640
Speaker 1: a well a Philly Washington tie coming up this week

320
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:35,879
Speaker 1: to clinch. So they've gone. They've gone. So they'll get in.

321
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 1: They've gone three and three in their last six or

322
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 1: three and four in their last seven. They'll get in.

323
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 1: But they don't look to be an insurmountable challenge at

324
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:49,640
Speaker 1: all anymore. Right in the season, it was like, oh, man,

325
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:51,639
Speaker 1: who's gonna beat this team? They lost two in a row,

326
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,159
Speaker 1: just like the Bills did, except they lost them to

327
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,640
Speaker 1: the Rams and the Lions, and the Bills lost them

328
00:18:56,640 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 1: too well whoever, whoever was I'm trying who it was,

329
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 1: to New England and Tampa Bay. So yeah, that's it's hard.

330
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 1: And they lost to one team by four points and

331
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 1: the other team in overtime. Even for me, an old

332
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:14,399
Speaker 1: retired guy. Man, it's a long season. We got a

333
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 1: month ago, we got a month ago. It's long for you, right,

334
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:20,199
Speaker 1: it's long for us. And I'm not even I'm not

335
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:23,120
Speaker 1: covering any kicks. Yeah, I mean, oh my gosh, it's

336
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 1: like a bye week, and you got this COVID stuff going.

337
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,160
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, it's like never ending. And you got

338
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 1: like Thursday football, Saturday football, Sunday football, Monday football, Tuesday football,

339
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:38,359
Speaker 1: Thursday football, you get Wednesday off. That's about it, because

340
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,880
Speaker 1: you're gonna have You canna get Wednesday and Friday off

341
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 1: this week because they get football on Saturday and Sunday.

342
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 1: It's a good thing we live in Buffalo. Otherwise I'd

343
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 1: have to mow my lawn somewhere in there. I don't

344
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:50,719
Speaker 1: have time to do it. Other growing seasons everywhere exactly right,

345
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 1: and so I gotta stops everywhere. Well I don't know,

346
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 1: but nevertheless, I have time to do anything. Right. The

00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,639
Speaker 1: laundry's piling up, for crying out. Wow, there's so much football.

00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,680
Speaker 1: I gotta do a lot of rapping tonight. Man, be

00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 1: way behind but I mean I have it. By the way,

00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 1: you're killing me with this. Uh wait wait, let me

351
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:11,879
Speaker 1: just get it right. You're killing me with emmett Otter

352
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:16,639
Speaker 1: Emmetts jugs getting raked over the coals on social media.

353
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 1: People are outrage that I had no idea to exist.

354
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 1: I get it. I love it. Yeah, shame on you

355
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 1: get them people. I'm on Steve Tasker. Muppet christ mclara

356
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 1: was an abolute, absolute crap classic, So I got that.

357
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:31,920
Speaker 1: Still remember going to the theaters a kid with my

358
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:33,879
Speaker 1: family to watch and I enjoy watching with Yes we do.

359
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 1: It was for a long time as a tradition. Emmett

360
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 1: Otter is my all time favorite. Shame on you, emmett

361
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:44,639
Speaker 1: Otters jug Band Christmas a classic music by Paul Williams.

362
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:47,680
Speaker 1: It's a great story and a tradition in my house.

363
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 1: So since nineteen seventy eight, it's been around a long

364
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 1: I was gonna say late seventies, early eighties is what

365
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 1: I remember it from. Is it most like? I'll tell

366
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 1: you this too. Say what you want about the mumps.

367
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 1: They're brilliantly done for the most part. I'll bet you

368
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:06,920
Speaker 1: go back to that nineteen seventy eight there's probably some

369
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 1: pretty on point current humor written into that for nineteen

370
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 1: seventy eight. I mean, some of that humor can't be timeless,

371
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 1: you know, it's got to be because they are so

372
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 1: current in everything they do. I wonder, can you remember

373
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, I've never seen it. And apparently

374
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:27,360
Speaker 1: a couple of our listeners agree with me. My take

375
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,719
Speaker 1: on the Grinch's hilarious. Apparently, what is the message? Like?

376
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,199
Speaker 1: I know, his heart grows big because he you know,

377
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 1: he ends up doing the right thing in the end,

378
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 1: But what the heck you got to do bad to

379
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:41,160
Speaker 1: learn how to do good? I don't know. He needed

380
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,360
Speaker 1: somebody to love him. I guess needed to feel appreciated.

381
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 1: And Brownie, happiness starts with you. That's the message you

382
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,400
Speaker 1: want to be if you want to be happy, It's

383
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:59,919
Speaker 1: not about them making you happy. It's about you happy.

384
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 1: This is a choice, is that what you're saying? Happiness

385
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:04,879
Speaker 1: starts with you and your actions, That's what it starts.

386
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:06,879
Speaker 1: I'll leave it to one Bill's Live to set the

387
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:10,119
Speaker 1: record straight on the true message of these Christmas specials.

388
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:12,959
Speaker 1: Um Happiness Begins. Not a fan of the Grinch, though,

389
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 1: Leavage he's just you know, he's he's a criminal. Guy's

390
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 1: an outright criminal. He's bitter and then all, well he's okay,

391
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 1: We'll stop living on a mountaintop with a dog that

392
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 1: is fiercely loyal to you for what reason? I have

393
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 1: no idea. Because dog he treats because we don't deserve dogs.

394
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 1: He don't even even treat him like a dog. He

395
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 1: treats him worse than you treat a dog. It was terrible.

396
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:39,399
Speaker 1: Max is one of the old time great and I

397
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 1: gotta say, I'm Max might be the greatest cartoon dog

398
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 1: of all time. I'll do anything. Is just a Max

399
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 1: of the Grinch. That dog may be better than Scooby Doo. Well, yeah,

400
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:52,919
Speaker 1: I mean Scooby's in it for the snacks in the

401
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 1: grand scheme of thing right. I mean he's a typical

402
00:22:55,280 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 1: dog motivated by food, loyal, but also a scaredy cat

403
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 1: and the you know, I mean they're outside the mysteries.

404
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 1: Scooby's hiding under a sheet or something. I mean, he's

405
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:09,119
Speaker 1: that guy's terrified everything. Yeah, Max, you know Max was

406
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 1: in it for the long. I mean, he gets the

407
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:14,200
Speaker 1: job done by accident him. Max. Max isn't is the

408
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 1: awesomest dog of all time, and that is he is loyalty,

409
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,879
Speaker 1: he personify. He is absolutely the greatest cartoon dog of

410
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 1: all time. I might die on that hill. You're gonna

411
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:25,679
Speaker 1: fight for Max, Okay from the Green, I got a thing.

412
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 1: I don't want to go out. I don't want to

413
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 1: There are a lot of loyal dogs out there in history.

414
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 1: I know it's the Christmas season, so he gets a

415
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:34,440
Speaker 1: little cachet for that. But yeah, nevertheless, it's one of

416
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 1: the all time good ones. Gotta be strongest pound for

417
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:41,880
Speaker 1: pound dog too, Yankee right up a mountaintop. He's unbelievable,

418
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 1: one of the all time grades. Oh well, we are

419
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 1: in the holiday spirit today, we are. It's fine. Yeah,

420
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,359
Speaker 1: we'll probably get fired for it or something. So apparently

421
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 1: Emma Daughter's jug band Christmas. You can probably get this

422
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,639
Speaker 1: on YouTube, Steve, but listen, I'm being told by our

423
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 1: right now, I'm also on a streaming service. They will

424
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 1: not be mentioned here. I will mention it to you

425
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 1: in the play. Yeah, I've got it. Yeah, they've got

426
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 1: out now, they've got outtakes. All the best are the outtakes.

427
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:13,680
Speaker 1: You want to get my daughter going? They did outtakes

428
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 1: they have outtakes of Emmet Daters Jug Band Christmas. The

429
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:22,920
Speaker 1: people that do the voices are absolutely hysterical, like they're

430
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 1: trying to they're trying to cut this scene. They're trying to.

431
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:28,199
Speaker 1: There's one that's really hilarious. You got to find this.

432
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,439
Speaker 1: There's this scene where a bass drum rolls out of

433
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 1: a storefront and Emmett and his mom are walking up

434
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 1: the street and they almost get hit by the drums.

435
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 1: So they want the drum to roll down the stairs

436
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 1: and fall perfectly on the sidewalk in front of them.

437
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 1: You know how many takes that takes to get done,

438
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 1: the two hundred and thirty seven. So with each take

439
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:51,160
Speaker 1: they're running these blutes. So there's a comment for every

440
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 1: time it doesn't go right, And one time Emmett's like

441
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,399
Speaker 1: that one almost ran over my foot. Do we get

442
00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 1: hazard paying for this? Like, oh my god, it's it's gold.

443
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 1: It's pure gold, Jerry, pure gold. My daughter cannot watch

444
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 1: that without crying her eyes out every it. I am,

Speaker 1: I you know, the other thing is, uh, I wanted

455
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:51,440
Speaker 1: to talk about much your brown. Everybody's given them heat

456
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 1: for that taunting. Did you did you guys really watch that?

457
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,439
Speaker 1: Did you really think it was that bad? Well? The

458
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 1: problem is it's along the set eide lines, right in

459
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 1: front of the referee. He's right there. Now, I get it.

460
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 1: It's a soft it's it might be a tiki tach call,

461
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:08,200
Speaker 1: but that you know, you're gonna get it. You're gonna

462
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 1: get a called once in a while like that. And

463
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:13,360
Speaker 1: and my problem is, and I don't want to. I'm

464
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:15,440
Speaker 1: not gonna pile on Spirits and Brown. I like the guy.

465
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 1: He's gonna be a Buffalo bill for a long long time.

466
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:21,639
Speaker 1: But you already had like three holding penalties. Broke, Who

467
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:25,199
Speaker 1: are you taunting? I mean, that's what you want to, like,

468
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 1: tuck your tail, just go back to the huddle, right,

469
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:30,360
Speaker 1: and there's a recognition of time and score and where

470
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:32,639
Speaker 1: your team is on the field. You're backed up in

471
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 1: your own end right there, like you don't want to

472
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 1: give a ref any opportunity to back your team up

473
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 1: even more. And and he did. So, you know, rookie,

474
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 1: we'll chalk it up to a rookie mistake, you know

475
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 1: what I mean, that's what we'll do. We'll chalk it

476
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 1: up to a rookie mistake and leave it there, and

477
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,199
Speaker 1: you know, hopefully he learns from it. And you know,

478
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 1: coach no doubt told him, hey, you get another one

479
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 1: of those, you're out of the game. And in case

480
00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:00,159
Speaker 1: you didn't notice, we're short some offensive lineman today, so

481
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 1: just watch your step, watch your step. So, yeah, that's

482
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:07,879
Speaker 1: kind of where that's at. I get it though, But

483
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:12,399
Speaker 1: Spencer Brown, I mean, he found out what Friday he

484
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 1: was gonna play left tackle right, And I get it.

485
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:20,679
Speaker 1: That's a big ask well, especially Brian Burns. Brian Burns

486
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:22,919
Speaker 1: can bring it. Yeah, and he's just as long as

487
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,399
Speaker 1: Spencer is. He's tall, long, drinking water. I mean that

488
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 1: guy's got length for days, which is what Spencer Brown

489
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 1: uses to his advantage most of the time. It wasn't

490
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:33,159
Speaker 1: that much of an advantage there, So it wasn't like

491
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 1: Spencer Brown was just you know, it was getting you know,

492
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 1: it wasn't a preseason game. He jumped right into the elite.

493
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 1: So and uh, Brian Burns taught him a lessoner too,

494
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 1: for sure. For sure. Yeah, for hey, hey's former first

495
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 1: round pick. I mean, guy's a talented dude. He's got well,

496
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 1: he's got some he's got some traits, and I think goodness. Yeah,

497
00:27:54,520 --> 00:28:00,199
Speaker 1: and I think the Carolina defense was something that the

498
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,399
Speaker 1: Bills offense really hadn't seen before because they are a

499
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:07,680
Speaker 1: defense that is built on speed and athleticism from front

500
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 1: to back. That may be why the Bills run game

501
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 1: perked up. That is exactly why the Bills run game

502
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 1: perked up. But in terms of pass protection, it was

503
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 1: a challenge, yeah, because those guys are coming and they're

504
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:22,679
Speaker 1: coming fast. So yeah, that's why I was glad that

505
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 1: Brian Dable called a few more run plays yesterday because

506
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:29,159
Speaker 1: I thought that was where, even despite their deficiencies, I

507
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,680
Speaker 1: thought that might be where you could get them especially

508
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 1: with some misdirection and they use that to their advantage yesterday.

509
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 1: So good on Brian's able to use the kinds of

510
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:41,479
Speaker 1: things that could have the speed of the Carolina defense

511
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 1: work against them. So I thought he did a good

512
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 1: job with that yesterday. We have to take a break here,

513
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 1: but when we come back more of we'll get your

514
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 1: thoughts on your biggest takeaways from Sunday's win over the

515
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 1: Panthers to improve to eight and six, and if you

516
00:28:56,840 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 1: got any other Christmas special thoughts, feel three to feel

Speaker 1: free to send him on over. We're we're ready to

Speaker 1: is Christmas Week, So why not break time here back

520

522
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 1: welcome back to One Bills Live. Who knew there were

523
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 1: so many opinions on Christmas specials, but there are in

524
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 1: addition to ours, and that's fine. Everybody should have one.

525
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 1: Everybody's got a favorite. I was, I've been. We've got

526
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 1: listening audience, you know, So now people are coming coming

527
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 1: at me saying, can't believe you haven't mentioned the Peanuts

528
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 1: at Charlie Brown Christmas, which is a great one. He's

529
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 1: a good cartoon dog too. Yes, he is, uh, definitely

530
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 1: a holiday classic and a good moral for you. Chris

531
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 1: Brown bills, Okay, fine, I'll take it, which you know

532
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 1: is centered around Charlie Brown, who gets kicked around a

533
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 1: lot by some of his so called friends enough to

534
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 1: begin with, and who probably has about as much hair

535
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:14,320
Speaker 1: as me, maybe less, makes the worst looking Christmas tree

536
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 1: look good, which you know is kind of a little

537
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 1: bit of symbolism, you know. So I guess what I

538
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 1: am being told is if I give the Grinch a

539
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 1: little of he'll be a good, good person too. I

540
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 1: suppose the Grinch can't. The bottom line is the Grinch

541
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 1: simply cannot resist, and he melts under the giant blue

542
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 1: eyes of Cindy Luhu. He can't say no to Cindy.

543
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 1: That's really essentially what it is. She's asking him to

544
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 1: be a good person, and he succumbs because he feels

545
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 1: like he's somebody's paying attention to him, fine, loving him

546
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 1: a little bit, right. He changes because he realizes that

547
00:30:56,160 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 1: Christmas isn't about materialistic things, It's about something more, Okay,

548
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 1: and then he thinks of something he hadn't thought of before, right,

549
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 1: I guess, Yeah, I guess. I like the Jim Carrey

550
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 1: Grinch is pretty good directed by Ron Howard. That was

551
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:20,960
Speaker 1: a pretty good one that does. It's good to give

552
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 1: you that for him, that's pretty good. Um and yeah

553
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 1: when his Yeah, he does a great job. I did

554
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:29,720
Speaker 1: remember reading. I love that story. It took about I

555
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 1: want to say, it took nine hours to make up

556
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 1: Jim Carrey every day for shooting. It was some unbelievable thing.

557
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 1: It wasn't nine hours, but it was hours on it,

558
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 1: like nine hours a day. He was like up like

559
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:45,480
Speaker 1: three am. Yeah, to be ready made up. Yeah, and

560
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 1: yeah he said it was physically and mentally exhausting. Yeah.

561
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 1: Which if if I got to sit in a chair

562
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 1: that long, I mean he looked great. Thinking nothing against

563
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 1: the makeup people. They look fantastic. But yeah, and then

564
00:31:57,880 --> 00:31:59,479
Speaker 1: think about you get it, you get out of it,

565
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:01,719
Speaker 1: how good you feel, psycho? You gotta do it all

566
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 1: over again. It's like six hours later you're going back in. Right,

567
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 1: I'd be like, I'm just going to bed in this.

568
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 1: Just touch me up tomorrow. Don't touch it up. Don't

569
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:13,440
Speaker 1: do a whole another nine hour you don't get some sleep,

570
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 1: you know. Um, we should mention a couple of things

571
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 1: with respect to the game. Number one, John Feliciano went

572
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 1: on the COVID list Sunday morning, like after nine o'clock,

573
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 1: and I think it would at least be safe in

574
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 1: assuming that already without Dion Dawkins, that there was a

575
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:39,959
Speaker 1: good chance Feliciano would have been in the starting lineup

576
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 1: at one of the two guard positions, whichever one Ike

577
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 1: Bucker was not manning. But he is unavailable for yesterday's game,

578
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 1: which kicks Cody Ford into the lineup as one of

579
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 1: the two starting guards along with ike Bucker as a result,

580
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 1: and he had spent a round of left tackle Darryl

581
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 1: Williams at right tackle, as we had surmised might be

582
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 1: the lineup. Um, they were the only team with an

583
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 1: emergency situation yesterday. Mattie and I are sitting in here

584
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 1: and we've got the stadium cam on as we're getting

585
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 1: ready for Bill's field pass. It's like ten to twelve

586
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:21,960
Speaker 1: inactives are already in right, so this is YEA kicker

587
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 1: Zane Gonzalez is warming up at the tunnel end, puts

588
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 1: up a field goal attempt. It's like an extra point

589
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 1: and his right leg is his kicking leg. He follows

590
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 1: through and he grabs his leg right after he's like

591
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 1: ahh goes down. He's limp. He goes down on the ground, limping,

592
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 1: has to get helped off, helped out. I think it

593
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 1: was a hamstring injury. I don't know if it was

594
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 1: ever officially announced what it was. But all of a sudden,

595
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 1: they don't have their kicker. He'd been kicking for a while, right,

596
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, yeah, I mean so you think he

597
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 1: was warm. It's a cold day. You're more susceptible to

598
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 1: pulling muscles where it's cold day. He's been kicking forever,

599
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 1: and he's a he's an athlete, he's a pro football player.

600
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 1: You're not gonna pull a muscle because it's a cold day.

601
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:09,359
Speaker 1: He's a kicking for an hour. He's unavailable. Yeah, he's

602
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:11,440
Speaker 1: an actives already sent in. You can't you know what

603
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 1: I mean. He's like he got abducted by aliens. He

604
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 1: doesn't exist. Right, So then so this is the best part.

605
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:21,359
Speaker 1: Wait wait wait, so then like that they this is scene.

606
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:25,359
Speaker 1: Everybody sees it. He's gone. So the buzz through the

607
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 1: press box, the media, Twitter and everybody in the INFL

608
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:33,480
Speaker 1: was like, who's gonna kick? What happens now? Right? So

609
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 1: so I do so Lochlan Edwards is their puncher and

610
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:40,279
Speaker 1: I knew he was a native Australian. Punting isn't a

611
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 1: problem place kicking for an Australian guy. They haven't done

612
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 1: that anymore than the offensive lineman right on the team.

613
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:52,760
Speaker 1: So the best part, the most entertaining part, was when

614
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 1: they literally had a tryout on the field. Who can

615
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:02,919
Speaker 1: kick field goals? Who can kick off? Who can kick off?

616
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:06,360
Speaker 1: And it was awful. So they had Zilstra, the wide receiver,

617
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:09,759
Speaker 1: who didn't do too bad? Why not he hit one? Yeah,

618
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:13,920
Speaker 1: I'm telling you this right now. You could pick random

619
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:18,760
Speaker 1: you can pick random guys people, I mean the stands. Yeah,

620
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:23,319
Speaker 1: that would have done from thirty right. I listen. I

621
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 1: was the Bill's emergency kicker back in the day. I

622
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:27,880
Speaker 1: still got the square toe shoe. I was like, what

623
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:30,160
Speaker 1: are you doing with the don't kick it? Like kick

624
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:32,920
Speaker 1: it old school? Yeah, well that's the easy But one

625
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 1: guy did. PJ Walker, the backup quarterback, kicked some in

626
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 1: high school and he did the old school Tom Dempsey

627
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:45,360
Speaker 1: Mark Moseley straight on to here. Is that it that? No,

628
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:48,839
Speaker 1: that wasn't him. Um, it's because our MSG viewers are

629
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:54,839
Speaker 1: watching some of this Keystone Cops Like, so you want

630
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:57,600
Speaker 1: to talk about job security in the league. If you

631
00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:00,760
Speaker 1: are a kicker of any ability, you had that film,

632
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:02,920
Speaker 1: you have your agent, get that film and say, you know,

633
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 1: want to sign me, that's fine, Try somebody else on

634
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:07,839
Speaker 1: your roster you might get some of this. So it

635
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:12,680
Speaker 1: was determined after that literal tryout process less than an

636
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:16,760
Speaker 1: hour before kickoff, that PJ. Walker if it came down

637
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:19,800
Speaker 1: to a situation presumably at the end of the game,

638
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:22,640
Speaker 1: and a field goal would win it, that was the

639
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:25,480
Speaker 1: only scenario that they were going to entertain kicking a

640
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:27,120
Speaker 1: field goal. They were going for it all. It was

641
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 1: gonna be PJ Walker as the field goal kicker, and

642
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:33,839
Speaker 1: then Lachland Edwards would hold because I was like, well,

643
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:35,480
Speaker 1: if you're gonna have your punter kick now, I ain't

644
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 1: even a new holder. They didn't even have a backup

645
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:40,520
Speaker 1: holder on the flip cart. Oh goodness, yeah, you're right.

646
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 1: So Lachland Edwards was not an option. I think the

647
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 1: only thing he would have done is an on side kick. Yeah,

648
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:51,399
Speaker 1: and I think he kicked off. Yeah, they didnt kick

649
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 1: off once and it was us he squibbit. I think

650
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:56,560
Speaker 1: he did it. It was a line drive. Um. Yeah.

651
00:36:56,600 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 1: That and it had ramifications that rippled throughout the game

652
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 1: because they had to go for it on a bunch

653
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:07,480
Speaker 1: of fourth downs range. There was four territory. Yeah, there

654
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 1: was no field goal ring. They were plus. They were

655
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 1: on the plus side of the fifty four downs, right,

656
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:14,840
Speaker 1: And I was asking, you know, Micah Hi, Jordan Poyer,

657
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 1: Harrison Fields, I was asking me after the game, how

658
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 1: did that kind of impact your guys thinking, you know,

659
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 1: because it's third and long, they might only be looking

660
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:24,839
Speaker 1: aget half of it because they know they're going forward.

661
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:26,960
Speaker 1: They will they'll they will throw it short of the

662
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:29,359
Speaker 1: sticks and long. So that was it was a big

663
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 1: as your approach, right, it's a big factor. And plus

664
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:37,680
Speaker 1: it ends up Carolina goes for two on their first touchdown.

665
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:41,279
Speaker 1: It's eight to a nounce, eight to fourteen. Yeah, and

666
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:45,399
Speaker 1: you know then they get the then the next like

667
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:48,880
Speaker 1: we thought that fifty fifty coin flip for two point conversions,

668
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:51,759
Speaker 1: they get one, lose one. It's fourteen as a final score,

669
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 1: and it looks normal on the day, there was anything but, right,

670
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:59,920
Speaker 1: So that was just the bus try out on the

671
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:02,239
Speaker 1: feeling unbelievable. I mean, if you were a fan that

672
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 1: got in your seat early, that was a treat you

673
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:09,439
Speaker 1: weren't expected, right, guys fooling around? What are they doing? Why?

674
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:11,719
Speaker 1: Why are these guys out there piddling around? And well

675
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:14,960
Speaker 1: they're what what? What was what was Carolina coming into

676
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:17,319
Speaker 1: the game? Five and seven something like that? What were

677
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:19,840
Speaker 1: they five eight? Five and eight coming into the game,

678
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:22,920
Speaker 1: And uh, I think they must be just fooling around.

679
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 1: Well not so much. They were. They were looking to

680
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:30,840
Speaker 1: see if kicking field goals was a viable option, and

681
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:33,319
Speaker 1: that trial proved it was not. It was not in

682
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:39,600
Speaker 1: any way, shape or form. Uh So, Now, Steve, if

683
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:44,719
Speaker 1: your concern, this was my concern after hearing of John

684
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:49,239
Speaker 1: Feliciano going on the COVID reserve list. Based on what

685
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 1: we saw with the Rams, the Washington football team, and

686
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 1: the Browns, there was a day by day domino effect

687
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:03,000
Speaker 1: of positives, right, That's how the list grew. It grew

688
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 1: day by day, not all at once. So my concern

689
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 1: is after we saw Dion Dawkins go on the list,

690
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 1: then another offensive lineman in John Feliciano go on the list.

691
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 1: I'm sitting here with crossed fingers and toes that no

692
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 1: new linemen go on the list today, because my greatest

693
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:21,640
Speaker 1: fear is you're gonna have five offensive linemen on the

694
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:23,840
Speaker 1: COVID reserve list for the most important game of the

695
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:26,880
Speaker 1: season against the Patriots. That's my complete fear right now,

696
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:32,960
Speaker 1: right and it's legitimate. God forbid any other position anybody.

697
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:35,239
Speaker 1: I mean, you're not You may not get anybody back

698
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:39,120
Speaker 1: off of it. It's too late now. Yeah, Well, we

699
00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:44,399
Speaker 1: do know Dion Dawkins got vaccinated back in September. He

700
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 1: caught it after his in between his first and second shot,

701
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:52,960
Speaker 1: he got diagnosed positive with COVID and then you know,

702
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:54,640
Speaker 1: had a horrible run of it. He had to go

703
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:57,880
Speaker 1: in the hospital for four days, lost like sixteen pounds

704
00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 1: and was not doing well. And then it took him

705
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:02,440
Speaker 1: like three weeks to come out of that and feel

706
00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:06,759
Speaker 1: right right. Um, now that he's fully vaccinated, hopefully he's

707
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:09,759
Speaker 1: doing significantly better. Now. Don't know if he has the

708
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:12,200
Speaker 1: omicron variant, the delta variant, We don't know what he has.

709
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:16,360
Speaker 1: COVID reserve list, the omicron variant for cause you to

710
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:19,920
Speaker 1: test positive for COVID. Even if it's the omicron variant,

711
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:23,719
Speaker 1: the omicron seems to be their finitist is more or

712
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:27,919
Speaker 1: less occult. It's the regular flute twice as transmissible, but

713
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:30,239
Speaker 1: but not as severe in terms of even severe. You

714
00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:33,239
Speaker 1: don't care about it. It's not physically demand, it's not

715
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:37,239
Speaker 1: physically dangerous. So um, So, what it looks like the

716
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 1: league is gonna do now going forward is that unless

717
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:47,400
Speaker 1: you're symptomatic and and you are vaccinated, you don't have

718
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:51,000
Speaker 1: to get tested unless you show symptoms. So they're completely

719
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:54,600
Speaker 1: out of the testing scenario because they're the omicron is

720
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 1: now the variant that they're dealing with, and it's not

721
00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:01,520
Speaker 1: yeah predominantly right, it's yeah, and it's not as dangerous

722
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 1: as the COVID nineteen. Then they're just saying, listen, it's

723
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:09,240
Speaker 1: just a cold. If you if you, unless you're showing symptoms,

724
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:12,520
Speaker 1: you're not gonna symptomatic. So they've vaccinated, you're not getting tested,

725
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:16,040
Speaker 1: so you're not getting tested. So because that was the

726
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:18,879
Speaker 1: big complaint now of even the players associations, you're gonna listen,

727
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:21,560
Speaker 1: you got like nine guys that are on your like Cleveland,

728
00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:25,960
Speaker 1: they got like nineteen guys. Ten of them don't even

729
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:28,319
Speaker 1: think they're sick. They don't even have symptoms, right, so

730
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:31,280
Speaker 1: they're they're sitting there gonna come on, this is crazy.

731
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:33,839
Speaker 1: So in in response to that, the league has gone

732
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:35,719
Speaker 1: to the union, and union it's like, well, okay, you know,

733
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:37,279
Speaker 1: we're willing to talk about it, so they're gonna do

734
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:39,520
Speaker 1: it this way now, which you know, if you go

735
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:41,880
Speaker 1: back six eight months and try this, this is like

736
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:44,919
Speaker 1: you're nuts trying this. People go crazy over. But now

737
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:49,240
Speaker 1: that it's the they think it's the omicron variant. Nobody

738
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:53,920
Speaker 1: cares if you're unvaccinated though, and you get the omicron

739
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:56,000
Speaker 1: variant and you can still get sick. Well if you're

740
00:41:56,239 --> 00:42:00,279
Speaker 1: if you're unvaccinated, you're getting tested, right. But I guess

741
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:02,920
Speaker 1: what I'm saying is, while it is considered to carry

742
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 1: milder symptoms, I don't know if people that are unvaccinated

743
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:08,800
Speaker 1: should not be worried about omicron. I'm not an epidemiologist,

744
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:11,200
Speaker 1: and I don't know that, but I tend to think

745
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:13,239
Speaker 1: that I'm also to people are a little bit more

746
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:16,480
Speaker 1: at risk to suffer even from that. We'll see we

747
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:19,440
Speaker 1: have to take a break here, but when we come back,

748

Speaker 1: we will get your thoughts on Sunday's game, your biggest takeaways,

766
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:43,600
Speaker 1: stat when I put together the five things to watch

767

Speaker 1: for in Bill's Panthers on Buffalo bills dot Com on Friday, Steve.

768
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:54,080
Speaker 1: When Gabriel Davis gets fifty percent of the snaps or

769
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:58,520
Speaker 1: more on offense this season, he either has one hundred

770
00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:03,640
Speaker 1: yards receiving or a touchdown one or the other. Yesterday

771
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:07,719
Speaker 1: he had two touchdowns. Yeah, well, there you go. The

772
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:12,799
Speaker 1: man is a producer, he's been. Yeah. He when he

773
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:17,080
Speaker 1: gets on the field, he produces. Josh trusts him. Obviously,

774
00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:20,239
Speaker 1: he throws him the football without hesitation. He filled in

775
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:24,880
Speaker 1: for an injured Emmanuel Sanders yesterday in and had as

776
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:27,800
Speaker 1: good a game as sent You could have imagined Sanders

777
00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:32,360
Speaker 1: having um virtually no drop off. Now, we thought that

778
00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:36,120
Speaker 1: in the in the preseason. When Emmanuel Sanders comes on board,

779
00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:40,680
Speaker 1: Gabe Davis is here, digs Cole Beasley, you thought, well,

780
00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:43,680
Speaker 1: you know, they got a ton of guys, Isaiah McKenzie,

781
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:46,000
Speaker 1: you go down the list without well, we're deep and

782
00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:49,840
Speaker 1: wide receivers, and you know, Gabriel Davis has proven it's

783
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:51,920
Speaker 1: it's true. We've got to stay on the field, got

784
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:53,840
Speaker 1: to take him off the field. Yeah, they got some

785
00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:59,400
Speaker 1: guys that can play um touchdowns three straight games. You

786
00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:02,520
Speaker 1: know who gets a lot of snaps low key, it's Kumo.

787
00:45:03,719 --> 00:45:05,680
Speaker 1: He didn't get a ton, but he got something. He

788
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:08,319
Speaker 1: always gets a handful of snaps offensively. Now he plays

789
00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:12,160
Speaker 1: good block special team, good blocker as a receiver, plays

790
00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:15,520
Speaker 1: on special teams. As you said, Yeah, he'll sneak on

791
00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:19,200
Speaker 1: there for you know, anywhere from six to ten reps. Yeah,

792
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:22,040
Speaker 1: a week doesn't get a ton of action. I think

793
00:45:22,040 --> 00:45:24,240
Speaker 1: it comes in like he'll he'll come on the field

794
00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:25,920
Speaker 1: once in a while, Like if Diggs runs a deep

795
00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:28,560
Speaker 1: route and needs a blow, or somebody else comes up

796
00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 1: and goes down in a couple of deep routs in

797
00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:31,439
Speaker 1: a row, they'll he'll go on the field for them.

798
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:35,920
Speaker 1: The bottom line is this, Gabe Davis produces every time

799
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:38,920
Speaker 1: he is on the field for more than fifty percent

800
00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:42,680
Speaker 1: of the snaps he has to continue to play. He

801
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:47,279
Speaker 1: is a player that opponents have a difficulty finding answers for.

802
00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:52,399
Speaker 1: When you have Stefan Diggs and then take your pick

803
00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:55,680
Speaker 1: Sanders or Beasley, whoever you want to put in the slot,

804
00:45:56,480 --> 00:46:01,680
Speaker 1: let's just say Beasley. Okay, so Diggs Beasley not and Davis.

805
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:08,240
Speaker 1: That's a headache. I'm sorry, that's a headache. Because Diggs

806
00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:12,480
Speaker 1: is a skill mismatch. Okay, just as a route runner,

807
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:18,160
Speaker 1: Beasley is a football IQ mismatch because he knows where

808
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:19,920
Speaker 1: the space is. No matter what kind of leverage you

809
00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:21,839
Speaker 1: throw at him, what kind of coverage you throw at him,

810
00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:23,560
Speaker 1: he knows where the space is and he gets open.

811
00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:27,359
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox is a physical mismatch because there aren't many

812
00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:29,960
Speaker 1: people that are that big and can run that fast

813
00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:33,800
Speaker 1: in a combined package. Defensively to match up with Dawson

814
00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:38,239
Speaker 1: Knox and then Gabriel Davis is just sneaky man. He's physical,

815
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:44,520
Speaker 1: he runs routes well, he's smart, and he sneaks behind defenses.

816
00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:47,759
Speaker 1: Guy's not a burner. I think he ran like a

817
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:50,399
Speaker 1: four or five. He's not a burner, but he gets

818
00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:54,239
Speaker 1: behind people because he's crafty. Put those four guys on

819
00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:56,600
Speaker 1: the field, that's tough to stop. You're not gonna stop

820
00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:59,600
Speaker 1: all of them, not with Alan throwing the football. Those

821
00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:02,960
Speaker 1: are your four. I'm sorry, those are your You go

822
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:05,680
Speaker 1: eleven personnel most of the game, and those are your

823
00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:07,960
Speaker 1: four you put out there. If you're throwing, you gotta

824
00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:10,920
Speaker 1: do it. He's got to play the rest of the season.

825
00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:12,560
Speaker 1: No I fans or bus. Well, yeah, it doesn't look

826
00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:14,240
Speaker 1: like you're gonna have a much choice. I mean, Sanders

827
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:16,320
Speaker 1: still hurting, he's out there. We don't know his status

828
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:21,279
Speaker 1: this week. And plus it's been proven time again, time

829
00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:23,160
Speaker 1: and again that this coaching staff, when you earn it,

830
00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:25,960
Speaker 1: you keep it right, you know. So it's hard to

831
00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:28,000
Speaker 1: say that Gabriel Davis has not made the most of

832
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:31,560
Speaker 1: his opportunities and deserves more. But certainly I'm not gonna

833
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:34,239
Speaker 1: you'd have a hard time sitting him back down. One

834
00:47:34,239 --> 00:47:35,560
Speaker 1: of the things I wanted to talk about before we

835
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:38,320
Speaker 1: go to break that. Did you see the Baltimore Ravens

836
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:41,800
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packer game yesterday? Fantastic football game, by the way.

837
00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:47,200
Speaker 1: Ravens come battling back with their backup quarterback, get down,

838
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:51,480
Speaker 1: go down by one, thirty to thirty one. They just

839
00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:54,719
Speaker 1: scored a touchdown. Now they can kick the extra point,

840
00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:59,279
Speaker 1: obviously tie it. They got the best kicker in modern history. Yeah,

841
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:01,160
Speaker 1: I think we knew that wasn't gonna happen though, right,

842
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:05,239
Speaker 1: So they're gonna all year long, And it proved the

843
00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:09,840
Speaker 1: point I made earlier in the week. He goes for it,

844
00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:15,160
Speaker 1: misses it, and like there's like three people on the

845
00:48:15,160 --> 00:48:16,719
Speaker 1: plan that's saying, I don't know, maybe he should have

846
00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:21,880
Speaker 1: kicked it. Everybody else is like, great, awesome love that

847
00:48:21,960 --> 00:48:24,319
Speaker 1: you went for it, knew it was gonna happen, just

848
00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:28,759
Speaker 1: like you. Now here's here's he second dance. So why

849
00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:31,000
Speaker 1: don't more coaches go for it like that? No one

850
00:48:31,080 --> 00:48:33,040
Speaker 1: that they're never gonna get second guests for going for

851
00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:35,760
Speaker 1: the win is what seems to be second guests less

852
00:48:36,480 --> 00:48:39,160
Speaker 1: is the following answer, Why did you go for two

853
00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:42,160
Speaker 1: trying to win the game? Right there? I believe in

854
00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:44,360
Speaker 1: my guys. I'm always gonna go for it because I

855
00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:47,560
Speaker 1: believe in my guys, even your backup quarterback, Yes, even

856
00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:50,160
Speaker 1: my backup quarter He just scored the winning touchdown. Why

857
00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:54,759
Speaker 1: wouldn't I know the potential game tying or game winning touchdown. Yeah,

858
00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:56,560
Speaker 1: he just scored the touchdown right a minute ago. He

859
00:48:56,640 --> 00:48:58,920
Speaker 1: drove us down. Well, they just went on two consecutive

860
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:02,439
Speaker 1: drives to climb back into the game. They were down

861
00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:09,200
Speaker 1: what was seventeen, yes, one seventeen, two consecutive drives quickly

862
00:49:10,239 --> 00:49:16,719
Speaker 1: um Their defense, in fairness too, had nobody to cover

863
00:49:17,719 --> 00:49:21,239
Speaker 1: Green Bay receivers. They already lost Marcus Peters for the

864
00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:24,080
Speaker 1: season with the season ending injury, Marlon Humphrey a week

865
00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:26,520
Speaker 1: or so ago with the season ending injury, and then

866
00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:30,040
Speaker 1: they just lost their third best corner yesterday Ambame. All

867
00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:33,520
Speaker 1: those in all those reasons are valid, of course, but

868
00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:37,640
Speaker 1: even if you can't make all those, there's always good

869
00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:40,160
Speaker 1: reasons you're gonna go for it in this situation. The

870
00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:42,480
Speaker 1: only argument you can make that couldn't be made in

871
00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:44,240
Speaker 1: any of the game is the fact that Aaron Rodgers

872
00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:45,760
Speaker 1: on the other side, you're gonna go a coin flip

873
00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:49,319
Speaker 1: with him. Do you go to overtime? Well, right, you're

874
00:49:49,360 --> 00:49:51,719
Speaker 1: gonna you're gonna coin flip Aaron Rodgers and give him

875
00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:55,200
Speaker 1: the ball like and so that you can go down

876
00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:58,040
Speaker 1: and get to a spot just like you're in right now. Yeah.

877
00:49:58,080 --> 00:50:02,719
Speaker 1: So that's the you should go for it all the time,

878
00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:04,960
Speaker 1: because everybody's like, yeah, okay, you gotta go for it.

879
00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:09,040
Speaker 1: You know, the people who've never looked at a spreadsheet,

880
00:50:09,080 --> 00:50:13,160
Speaker 1: go the analytics tell you, you you know. Yeah, So it

881
00:50:13,239 --> 00:50:15,520
Speaker 1: proves my point that And that was a phenomenal game.

882
00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:18,200
Speaker 1: It was a fantastic game. The one seed in the

883
00:50:18,320 --> 00:50:21,440
Speaker 1: NFC playing against a team in Baltimore who's trying to

884
00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:25,200
Speaker 1: fight to remain in the playoff race and Baltimore with

885
00:50:25,239 --> 00:50:29,000
Speaker 1: their backup quarterback because Lamar has got an ankle problem,

886
00:50:29,640 --> 00:50:32,480
Speaker 1: and the guy Huntley played great. I mean, he played

887
00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:36,160
Speaker 1: very well, played very well. They've got a nice little

888
00:50:36,160 --> 00:50:39,200
Speaker 1: backup quarterback situation there in Baltimore, no question. I'll bet

889
00:50:39,239 --> 00:50:41,640
Speaker 1: you that that earned that kid a lot of respect

890
00:50:42,239 --> 00:50:44,000
Speaker 1: around the league the way he played in that game.

891
00:50:44,120 --> 00:50:47,680
Speaker 1: Former high school and college teammate of Zach Moss So

892
00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:50,960
Speaker 1: played with him in Hallandale down in South Florida in

893
00:50:51,040 --> 00:50:53,920
Speaker 1: high school and also played with him at Utah. So

894
00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:56,239
Speaker 1: kudos to the to the Baltimore Ravens for given it

895
00:50:56,360 --> 00:50:58,680
Speaker 1: that and going for it even though and that's the thing,

896
00:50:58,960 --> 00:51:01,000
Speaker 1: you go for it, you don't get it. You can

897
00:51:01,040 --> 00:51:03,799
Speaker 1: do everything right for all the right reasons and still fail. Yeah,

898
00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:07,560
Speaker 1: and that's what people kind of tend to forget when

899
00:51:07,560 --> 00:51:09,600
Speaker 1: they're not don't have any skin in the game. Break

900
00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:11,719
Speaker 1: time for us here, but when we come back, we're

901

Speaker 1: horizon ahead what kind of confidence does it give you

905

Speaker 1: Next one Bill's line presented by Kalid to Health. It's

909
00:51:37,920 --> 00:51:57,640
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills Radio. At a Steve Tasker who has been

910
00:51:57,760 --> 00:51:59,840
Speaker 1: all over the field, kind of unique. He was a

911
00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:06,640
Speaker 1: dual role fighters for you, Steve, Steve a blimp. We're

912
00:52:06,680 --> 00:52:13,440
Speaker 1: not even in the stratedere of normalcy, all right, Welcome

913
00:52:13,480 --> 00:52:17,200
Speaker 1: to our number two here on a Buffalo Football Monday,

914
00:52:17,280 --> 00:52:20,480
Speaker 1: A victory Monday, Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you as

915
00:52:20,520 --> 00:52:23,720
Speaker 1: always and on the heels of the thirty one fourteen

916
00:52:23,719 --> 00:52:28,160
Speaker 1: win over the Carolina Panthers. We go around the locker room, Steve,

917
00:52:28,680 --> 00:52:32,399
Speaker 1: and we're going to begin with head coach Sean McDermott

918
00:52:33,280 --> 00:52:36,280
Speaker 1: and around the locker room brought to you by connect Life,

919
00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:40,640
Speaker 1: your blood and organ donor Network. Coach McDermott was asked

920
00:52:40,719 --> 00:52:43,359
Speaker 1: about the adjustments that needed to be made. It made

921
00:52:43,400 --> 00:52:47,360
Speaker 1: defensively in the wake of getting the news prior to

922
00:52:47,440 --> 00:52:49,959
Speaker 1: kick off that the Panthers were going to be without

923
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:53,719
Speaker 1: their kickers. Aye Gonzalez, and we're likely to go for

924
00:52:53,840 --> 00:52:58,040
Speaker 1: it on every single fourth down they faced on offense.

925
00:52:59,200 --> 00:53:01,960
Speaker 1: We're talking about this a minute ago. It's it's, uh,

926
00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:04,320
Speaker 1: it seems like it should be easier, and in certain

927
00:53:04,360 --> 00:53:06,239
Speaker 1: ways it is, but in certain ways it's it's more

928
00:53:06,280 --> 00:53:08,439
Speaker 1: difficult because you're not sure what that third and seven

929
00:53:08,480 --> 00:53:10,680
Speaker 1: is going to be. Is it gonna be traditional drive

930
00:53:10,760 --> 00:53:13,560
Speaker 1: back or is it gonna be um, you know, the

931
00:53:13,880 --> 00:53:16,120
Speaker 1: quarterbacks own read stuff and then just puts you in

932
00:53:16,120 --> 00:53:17,960
Speaker 1: a little bit of a bind defensively. But I thought

933
00:53:17,960 --> 00:53:22,680
Speaker 1: they handled it well. It is different. Well, yeah, you don't.

934
00:53:24,040 --> 00:53:26,480
Speaker 1: You don't have any film. Yeah, you haven't seen him

935
00:53:26,520 --> 00:53:29,000
Speaker 1: go for it on fourth down out of fourth and seven,

936
00:53:29,080 --> 00:53:31,880
Speaker 1: fourth and six, fourth and two fourth, you know, and

937
00:53:31,920 --> 00:53:34,239
Speaker 1: they had them in fourth and a little extra long

938
00:53:34,360 --> 00:53:37,719
Speaker 1: a couple of times, and it's you know, how do

939
00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:40,600
Speaker 1: you you know, what do your analytics tell you about

940
00:53:40,640 --> 00:53:43,560
Speaker 1: something they don't have any analytics for, you know, I mean,

941
00:53:43,560 --> 00:53:46,160
Speaker 1: what are you looking for? Like he said, you don't

942
00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:49,160
Speaker 1: because Panthers don't do that. They're not gonna go for it,

943
00:53:49,239 --> 00:53:53,320
Speaker 1: and you know in their own end, like around midfield,

944
00:53:53,320 --> 00:53:55,240
Speaker 1: they're not gonna go for it on fourth and seven

945
00:53:55,600 --> 00:53:59,200
Speaker 1: from the you know, the forty eight year on their

946
00:53:59,280 --> 00:54:01,360
Speaker 1: forty eight yard or you're forty eight yard line, you

947
00:54:01,360 --> 00:54:06,040
Speaker 1: know what I mean. So hard to get prepare game

948
00:54:06,040 --> 00:54:07,680
Speaker 1: plan for that. What's your play call? What have they

949
00:54:07,760 --> 00:54:10,080
Speaker 1: done before in that situation? Well, there hasn't been one

950
00:54:11,960 --> 00:54:13,600
Speaker 1: unless they're at the end of a game when they're

951
00:54:13,640 --> 00:54:16,640
Speaker 1: down big, right, So that's probably what he's talking about.

952
00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:20,400
Speaker 1: Right Coming into the game, Carolina was eleven for twenty

953
00:54:20,440 --> 00:54:26,440
Speaker 1: one on fourth down conversions fifty three percent. On Sunday

954
00:54:26,480 --> 00:54:30,080
Speaker 1: against the Bills, they were one for five on fourth

955
00:54:30,080 --> 00:54:34,800
Speaker 1: down conversions. It was a real good showing Harris and Phillips.

956
00:54:34,800 --> 00:54:36,680
Speaker 1: I asked him after the game and he said, first,

957
00:54:37,120 --> 00:54:39,200
Speaker 1: we had the mindset that we had to treat third

958
00:54:39,239 --> 00:54:42,600
Speaker 1: down almost like second down. There could be heavy run

959
00:54:43,120 --> 00:54:46,000
Speaker 1: on third down, knowing that they're going back to fourth

960
00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:49,799
Speaker 1: down play anytime they crossed the fifty yard line. So,

961
00:54:51,040 --> 00:54:55,319
Speaker 1: but the bottom line was, guys made place on fourth down.

962
00:54:56,080 --> 00:54:57,799
Speaker 1: They got some stops. There was a fourth and one

963
00:54:57,840 --> 00:55:00,560
Speaker 1: in there. The first one came on a fourth and

964
00:55:00,680 --> 00:55:04,040
Speaker 1: nine at the Bills twenty four. So they're deep in

965
00:55:04,080 --> 00:55:06,239
Speaker 1: your territory. It's fourth and nine and they're going for

966
00:55:06,320 --> 00:55:09,719
Speaker 1: it because they can't kick it right. Buffalo sent is

967
00:55:09,800 --> 00:55:12,520
Speaker 1: zero blitz forced Cam to get it out too fast,

968
00:55:12,560 --> 00:55:15,560
Speaker 1: it goes in complete. That was a pass for Willie Sneed.

969
00:55:15,800 --> 00:55:18,640
Speaker 1: Two possessions later, it's a fourth and one at midfield.

970
00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:23,560
Speaker 1: And that was Cam's horrible throw to the flat, the

971
00:55:23,640 --> 00:55:26,120
Speaker 1: bounce pass. Did you see that one? To Robbie Anderson

972
00:55:28,920 --> 00:55:32,000
Speaker 1: that it was throws like that last year, Steve that

973
00:55:32,080 --> 00:55:34,640
Speaker 1: convinced us it was over for Cam. Newton won too

974
00:55:34,680 --> 00:55:36,880
Speaker 1: many shoulder surgeries on the throwing. She was talking to

975
00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:38,800
Speaker 1: a couple of guys from the Bills who's kind of

976
00:55:38,840 --> 00:55:42,040
Speaker 1: scout and advanced for the team, and when and we

977
00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:44,480
Speaker 1: all saw it when Camp, We saw it last year

978
00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:47,000
Speaker 1: with Cam in New England. When he makes a throw

979
00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:49,840
Speaker 1: now at this point in his career, it's at the

980
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:54,200
Speaker 1: very edge of his abilities and it is everything he's

981
00:55:54,239 --> 00:55:57,760
Speaker 1: got on every throw. And because he has to really

982
00:55:58,000 --> 00:56:02,560
Speaker 1: try and rock at the throw, it's inaccurate and it's

983
00:56:03,080 --> 00:56:05,320
Speaker 1: it comes out funny, it doesn't come out right. It

984
00:56:05,440 --> 00:56:07,640
Speaker 1: spins all right when it comes out, but man, oh man,

985
00:56:07,719 --> 00:56:10,799
Speaker 1: there is a fluidity to his throwing motion that is

986
00:56:10,800 --> 00:56:17,279
Speaker 1: sorely absent there. There's a robotic, choppy nature to his

987
00:56:17,600 --> 00:56:21,000
Speaker 1: wind up and follow through that just does not look

988
00:56:21,080 --> 00:56:22,759
Speaker 1: right to me. And I am not an expert on

989
00:56:22,840 --> 00:56:27,080
Speaker 1: quarterback mechanics, but my untrained eye is telling me it

990
00:56:27,120 --> 00:56:31,600
Speaker 1: doesn't look right. There's something. There's something there, and it's

991
00:56:31,800 --> 00:56:35,520
Speaker 1: it's probably because it was compromised by the surgery. I

992
00:56:35,520 --> 00:56:37,640
Speaker 1: think he's had two surgeries on his throwing shoulder, and

993
00:56:37,680 --> 00:56:40,640
Speaker 1: he's had a third on the other one. Just from

994
00:56:40,640 --> 00:56:43,840
Speaker 1: an accumulation it hits over the years. But when he throws,

995
00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:47,440
Speaker 1: it's like it's almost a robotic. He looks like remember

996
00:56:47,440 --> 00:56:50,160
Speaker 1: the Remember the plastic toy used to hit the guy

997
00:56:50,200 --> 00:56:52,440
Speaker 1: on the head and he kicked the ball. Remember that

998
00:56:52,480 --> 00:56:55,680
Speaker 1: football guy. They also had a throwing one. He looks

999
00:56:55,719 --> 00:56:58,920
Speaker 1: like that guy. He can't get the throws right handed,

1000
00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:04,440
Speaker 1: like expect, but it's almost like he can't get the

1001
00:57:04,440 --> 00:57:06,920
Speaker 1: ball back past his ear. Yes, he can't take it

1002
00:57:06,960 --> 00:57:10,320
Speaker 1: back far enough exactly because it's because of the shirt whatever,

1003
00:57:10,400 --> 00:57:13,280
Speaker 1: because the shoulder stability, the loss of range of motion,

1004
00:57:13,600 --> 00:57:15,799
Speaker 1: he can't get the ball back far enough to throw it.

1005
00:57:15,840 --> 00:57:19,080
Speaker 1: So he has to make a half emotion to throw it,

1006
00:57:19,120 --> 00:57:22,040
Speaker 1: which means he has to. He's got to throw it

1007
00:57:22,080 --> 00:57:25,640
Speaker 1: a thousand percent of his efforts on every throw. And

1008
00:57:25,640 --> 00:57:28,360
Speaker 1: that's what it looks like to me. We saw it

1009
00:57:28,440 --> 00:57:32,480
Speaker 1: last year. And that also because he can't Yeah, I mean,

1010
00:57:32,600 --> 00:57:35,560
Speaker 1: I think you can see him how he leans back

1011
00:57:35,600 --> 00:57:38,919
Speaker 1: to throw and it still comes and it comes out low.

1012
00:57:39,480 --> 00:57:41,240
Speaker 1: He has a hard time putting any arc on the

1013
00:57:41,280 --> 00:57:43,240
Speaker 1: ball because he can't get that angle on his arm.

1014
00:57:43,400 --> 00:57:47,880
Speaker 1: His shoulder will allow him, and so everything he throws

1015
00:57:47,920 --> 00:57:51,280
Speaker 1: it just looks like it's everything he's got. That's what

1016
00:57:51,320 --> 00:57:53,200
Speaker 1: he's got to do to get it there. He can't

1017
00:57:53,200 --> 00:57:55,439
Speaker 1: put any loft on the ball. He can't put any

1018
00:57:55,480 --> 00:57:59,640
Speaker 1: air under a ball because he can't, as you said,

1019
00:57:59,720 --> 00:58:03,560
Speaker 1: rear back, like he can't put his hand behind his

1020
00:58:03,640 --> 00:58:07,120
Speaker 1: head when he's throwing a football, and that's gonna restrict

1021
00:58:07,560 --> 00:58:10,840
Speaker 1: the distance you can throw, the way in which you

1022
00:58:10,840 --> 00:58:12,960
Speaker 1: can throw it. Touch passes or a thing of the past.

1023
00:58:13,040 --> 00:58:15,520
Speaker 1: For him, it's either one hundred miles an hour or

1024
00:58:15,520 --> 00:58:19,280
Speaker 1: not at all. So that was the second failed fourth down.

1025
00:58:20,840 --> 00:58:23,240
Speaker 1: The Bills would not face another fourth down situation till

1026
00:58:23,240 --> 00:58:27,120
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. Deep in their own territory again at

1027
00:58:27,120 --> 00:58:29,320
Speaker 1: their twenty four yard line, Buffalo to get a stop

1028
00:58:29,360 --> 00:58:31,919
Speaker 1: on a fourth and five, and that's when Jerry Hughes

1029
00:58:31,920 --> 00:58:34,400
Speaker 1: got the good penetration on the bullrush and tip the ball,

1030
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:38,320
Speaker 1: got his hand up, tip the ball falls incomplete. And

1031
00:58:38,360 --> 00:58:40,920
Speaker 1: then the final one comes with six minutes left in regulation,

1032
00:58:41,480 --> 00:58:45,960
Speaker 1: fourth and ten at the Buffalo forty six. Newton hesitates

1033
00:58:46,080 --> 00:58:50,480
Speaker 1: on the initial dropback coverage on the back end really good,

1034
00:58:50,840 --> 00:58:52,720
Speaker 1: and that's when fa Obada got to him for his

1035
00:58:52,800 --> 00:58:55,080
Speaker 1: second sack of the game. And that was the last

1036
00:58:55,080 --> 00:58:58,680
Speaker 1: turnover on downs. So it was a good day on

1037
00:58:58,720 --> 00:59:01,280
Speaker 1: fourth down defense for the Bills. Yeah, it was uh

1038
00:59:01,680 --> 00:59:05,760
Speaker 1: one for five on conversions for Carolina, So good showing

1039
00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:11,320
Speaker 1: on fourth down by Buffalo's defense. Uh. Jordan Poyer also

1040
00:59:11,360 --> 00:59:15,040
Speaker 1: addressed the fourth down defense. So here is the Bills

1041
00:59:15,080 --> 00:59:18,560
Speaker 1: safety on getting those stops to force turnovers on downs.

1042
00:59:19,440 --> 00:59:22,000
Speaker 1: I think it's just a mindset just understanding, uh, you know,

1043
00:59:22,120 --> 00:59:24,320
Speaker 1: where you're out on the field, understanding where the four

1044
00:59:24,360 --> 00:59:28,080
Speaker 1: down territory is. UM. You know, I see, obviously they

1045
00:59:28,640 --> 00:59:30,360
Speaker 1: kickered out hurt early in the game, so we knew

1046
00:59:30,400 --> 00:59:32,840
Speaker 1: that going in early on UM that a lot of

1047
00:59:33,280 --> 00:59:34,919
Speaker 1: you know, third downs is going to turn into fourth

1048
00:59:34,920 --> 00:59:37,000
Speaker 1: downs going for it. So I think it's just a

1049
00:59:37,040 --> 00:59:39,600
Speaker 1: mindset and that having that mindset getting ready to play.

1050
00:59:39,680 --> 00:59:42,640
Speaker 1: There's a lot of four down territories in the league now, Um,

1051
00:59:42,680 --> 00:59:44,120
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of teams that are starting to

1052
00:59:44,160 --> 00:59:46,480
Speaker 1: go for it on fourth down, um, even even in

1053
00:59:46,520 --> 00:59:48,480
Speaker 1: the middle of the field, you know. So I think

1054
00:59:48,600 --> 00:59:50,919
Speaker 1: just having that mindset, like I said, uh, going into

1055
00:59:50,920 --> 00:59:53,680
Speaker 1: the game, UM, you know, understanding they're got to habits

1056
00:59:53,680 --> 00:59:58,080
Speaker 1: and um and and then executing and that was kind

1057
00:59:58,080 --> 01:00:00,640
Speaker 1: of their fourth down play in a nutshell for the

1058
01:00:00,680 --> 01:00:03,640
Speaker 1: most part. Now, I don't know if you're gonna see

1059
01:00:03,720 --> 01:00:06,640
Speaker 1: as many fourth and nines or fourth and fives, and

1060
01:00:06,720 --> 01:00:10,000
Speaker 1: obviously going into next week's game and probably every game

1061
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:14,040
Speaker 1: there after, the kicker is gonna be healthy. I gotta

1062
01:00:14,040 --> 01:00:17,320
Speaker 1: tell you, Steve. I mean, we've been covering this league

1063
01:00:17,360 --> 01:00:20,000
Speaker 1: a long time. That's probably the first time I can

1064
01:00:20,040 --> 01:00:22,680
Speaker 1: remember a kicker going down in pregame warmups. I've seen

1065
01:00:22,760 --> 01:00:25,640
Speaker 1: kickers get hurt in games right where they don't have

1066
01:00:25,720 --> 01:00:29,280
Speaker 1: that as an option anymore. Pregame is pretty rare. I've

1067
01:00:29,280 --> 01:00:31,480
Speaker 1: heard about guys tweaking something in pre game, but they're

1068
01:00:31,520 --> 01:00:33,720
Speaker 1: gonna still good enough to go, you know, Like they're

1069
01:00:33,720 --> 01:00:36,080
Speaker 1: gonna have somebody else kick out. The punter's gonna kick off.

1070
01:00:36,960 --> 01:00:39,280
Speaker 1: He'll do extra points, but a long field goal might

1071
01:00:39,320 --> 01:00:43,480
Speaker 1: be an issue. I've heard of that. But he went down,

1072
01:00:43,760 --> 01:00:50,080
Speaker 1: you know, bad hard and he was not coming back

1073
01:00:50,920 --> 01:00:53,400
Speaker 1: that and it was after, like you said, it was

1074
01:00:53,480 --> 01:00:56,560
Speaker 1: after the inactives word I mean, and they I don't

1075
01:00:56,560 --> 01:00:58,280
Speaker 1: even know if they had an extra guy anywhere. But

1076
01:00:58,640 --> 01:01:01,960
Speaker 1: it's almost one of those situations where you know, it's

1077
01:01:02,040 --> 01:01:04,840
Speaker 1: like the NHL where you got the emergency goalie sitting

1078
01:01:04,840 --> 01:01:06,520
Speaker 1: in the stands. He had to go get your stuff on.

1079
01:01:06,720 --> 01:01:11,120
Speaker 1: You know, there's gotta be somebody somewhere who can, you know,

1080
01:01:11,520 --> 01:01:15,040
Speaker 1: kick you need just to kick off? They have anybody

1081
01:01:15,040 --> 01:01:18,320
Speaker 1: could do that? Yeah, that I'm shocked. I gotta tell you,

1082
01:01:18,360 --> 01:01:20,400
Speaker 1: I'm shocked that they didn't have a guy that could

1083
01:01:20,400 --> 01:01:23,760
Speaker 1: straight on kick with a square toe. Yeah, it is

1084
01:01:23,800 --> 01:01:27,800
Speaker 1: not difficult. Well, as we said, the backup quarterback p J.

1085
01:01:27,960 --> 01:01:31,640
Speaker 1: Walker was the choice for that, but it sounded as

1086
01:01:31,680 --> 01:01:36,680
Speaker 1: if that would only be in an end of game situation,

1087
01:01:37,600 --> 01:01:41,360
Speaker 1: right where chance to win, chance to tie. P J

1088
01:01:41,520 --> 01:01:43,919
Speaker 1: Walker get out there and kick, and that was gonna

1089
01:01:43,920 --> 01:01:47,600
Speaker 1: be the only field goal attempt made in the course

1090
01:01:47,640 --> 01:01:49,800
Speaker 1: of that game, which is crazy because that cripples you

1091
01:01:51,200 --> 01:01:53,800
Speaker 1: from putting points on the part I had with the

1092
01:01:53,840 --> 01:01:56,320
Speaker 1: way that offense has been struggling the last few weeks.

1093
01:01:56,360 --> 01:01:59,720
Speaker 1: Now you take field goal attempts out of the equation, right,

1094
01:02:00,520 --> 01:02:02,600
Speaker 1: I mean, you could argue, I mean, fourth and five,

1095
01:02:02,840 --> 01:02:06,480
Speaker 1: twenty four yard line, that's probably a make. They were

1096
01:02:06,480 --> 01:02:08,520
Speaker 1: at the twenty four yard line twice in the game

1097
01:02:08,560 --> 01:02:10,840
Speaker 1: on fourth down. That's probably a make. That's another six

1098
01:02:10,920 --> 01:02:13,360
Speaker 1: points at least. Now, does it make a difference in

1099
01:02:13,360 --> 01:02:16,040
Speaker 1: the game. It might at the time. It might change

1100
01:02:16,040 --> 01:02:18,080
Speaker 1: the way the Bills call their plays on offense if

1101
01:02:18,080 --> 01:02:20,800
Speaker 1: it's a tighter game, right, right, it could. Yeah, it

1102
01:02:21,040 --> 01:02:24,160
Speaker 1: affects everything. You know, He's got a ripple effect. You know,

1103
01:02:24,200 --> 01:02:26,200
Speaker 1: not so much for that, but yeah, it gets there.

1104
01:02:26,600 --> 01:02:31,400
Speaker 1: And the the fact that you get caught like that,

1105
01:02:31,480 --> 01:02:34,480
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just one of the most unbelievable things

1106
01:02:34,480 --> 01:02:37,240
Speaker 1: to happen. I mean, you know, Gonzales is gonna be like,

1107
01:02:38,720 --> 01:02:42,080
Speaker 1: what's going you know, Yeah, I mean Matt, Matt Rules,

1108
01:02:42,600 --> 01:02:44,280
Speaker 1: Matt Rule's gotta be looking at him, going, are you

1109
01:02:44,440 --> 01:02:47,920
Speaker 1: kidding me? You're gonna You're gonna do that to us?

1110
01:02:47,920 --> 01:02:50,800
Speaker 1: In this game. He didn't mean to pull his hamstring,

1111
01:02:50,840 --> 01:02:54,880
Speaker 1: It just kind of happened. Yeah, well, kick anyway? Is

1112
01:02:54,880 --> 01:02:56,520
Speaker 1: that what you're saying? No, I mean, how do you

1113
01:02:56,840 --> 01:02:59,840
Speaker 1: how are you not warm enough? Yeah? How does that? How?

1114
01:03:00,040 --> 01:03:03,479
Speaker 1: You're not in good enough shape to do your job.

1115
01:03:03,520 --> 01:03:05,240
Speaker 1: You can't even warm up to do your job. Forget

1116
01:03:05,280 --> 01:03:07,520
Speaker 1: that's not even your job. Yeah, your job. You can't

1117
01:03:07,560 --> 01:03:12,080
Speaker 1: reflect well on him? But what are you doing? Yeah?

1118
01:03:12,200 --> 01:03:13,840
Speaker 1: I mean, what have you been putting into your body

1119
01:03:13,840 --> 01:03:16,880
Speaker 1: that you're dehydrated enough for whatever? That you should be hydrated.

1120
01:03:17,920 --> 01:03:20,440
Speaker 1: You don't know how to warm up to not be hydrated.

1121
01:03:20,840 --> 01:03:25,840
Speaker 1: That's it's really inexcusable, right, It's really inexcusable. And that's

1122
01:03:26,680 --> 01:03:29,440
Speaker 1: you know, that's how you that's you know, that's a

1123
01:03:29,600 --> 01:03:32,080
Speaker 1: different way to lose your job as a kicker. Got

1124
01:03:32,080 --> 01:03:36,440
Speaker 1: a couple of the traditional way of just missing kicks. Yeah,

1125
01:03:36,480 --> 01:03:39,360
Speaker 1: this is a new one. Elsewhere around the locker room.

1126
01:03:39,400 --> 01:03:43,280
Speaker 1: A couple of comments on Gabriel Davis's performance. First from

1127
01:03:43,320 --> 01:03:45,880
Speaker 1: the quarterback who was throwing him all those past attempts

1128
01:03:45,960 --> 01:03:49,840
Speaker 1: seven targets, five catches, eighty five yards, two touchdowns. Here

1129
01:03:49,920 --> 01:03:54,200
Speaker 1: is Josh Allen on continuing to see Gabe Davis take

1130
01:03:54,240 --> 01:03:57,360
Speaker 1: advantage of his opportunities. I got a lot of trust

1131
01:03:57,360 --> 01:04:00,200
Speaker 1: in him. He continues to make plays. Like you said, Um,

1132
01:04:00,240 --> 01:04:03,320
Speaker 1: he's a strong, physical dude. That again he wants it.

1133
01:04:03,400 --> 01:04:05,840
Speaker 1: He wants the ball, um, you know. And it's good

1134
01:04:05,840 --> 01:04:08,160
Speaker 1: to have those type of guys. And you look at

1135
01:04:08,200 --> 01:04:10,160
Speaker 1: Steph and Cole and they want the ball in their

1136
01:04:10,200 --> 01:04:13,600
Speaker 1: hands too. Unfortunately there's only one of them, but guys

1137
01:04:13,600 --> 01:04:15,680
Speaker 1: that are just doing their job. And Um, at the

1138
01:04:15,760 --> 01:04:16,720
Speaker 1: end of the day, all we want to do is

1139
01:04:16,720 --> 01:04:18,200
Speaker 1: win games. You know, he just put his head down,

1140
01:04:18,240 --> 01:04:20,920
Speaker 1: he worked hard, he was a he's a great teammate.

1141
01:04:22,240 --> 01:04:24,520
Speaker 1: Not wants that he complained to anybody. You know, he

1142
01:04:24,640 --> 01:04:27,600
Speaker 1: just showed up to work, worked hard. And when he's

1143
01:04:27,600 --> 01:04:29,920
Speaker 1: got um. You know, when he was asked to make

1144
01:04:29,960 --> 01:04:31,800
Speaker 1: plays throughout the season, he's been able to make him.

1145
01:04:31,840 --> 01:04:34,560
Speaker 1: And you see an increased role I see with e

1146
01:04:34,720 --> 01:04:37,160
Speaker 1: out and and he's he's gonna have to continue to

1147
01:04:37,160 --> 01:04:39,640
Speaker 1: make place for us going forward. And then here is

1148
01:04:39,680 --> 01:04:44,000
Speaker 1: Gabriel Davis himself on the increased role with Emmanuel Sanders

1149
01:04:44,040 --> 01:04:46,160
Speaker 1: out and the confidence the team is showing in him.

1150
01:04:47,200 --> 01:04:48,640
Speaker 1: All of us put a lot on our time when

1151
01:04:48,680 --> 01:04:51,000
Speaker 1: it comes to the offseason, to be able to get

1152
01:04:51,040 --> 01:04:53,320
Speaker 1: on the field and have an opportunity to show, you know,

1153
01:04:53,360 --> 01:04:55,840
Speaker 1: the fans in the world what we do, and just

1154
01:04:55,880 --> 01:04:57,520
Speaker 1: being able to have the opportunity to go out there

1155
01:04:57,600 --> 01:05:00,400
Speaker 1: and do that as special going to the a fourth

1156
01:05:00,400 --> 01:05:04,439
Speaker 1: down play, that trick play, Dave calling your number being

1157
01:05:04,440 --> 01:05:06,160
Speaker 1: inserted in the lineup because of the injury and all

1158
01:05:06,200 --> 01:05:08,640
Speaker 1: those things. What does that mean to you to get

1159
01:05:08,680 --> 01:05:11,160
Speaker 1: that shot in that spot? Again, you talked about the

1160
01:05:11,160 --> 01:05:13,120
Speaker 1: fourth down in Tampa, but here's another one to kind

1161
01:05:13,120 --> 01:05:15,840
Speaker 1: of seal the game. I mean, you know again, it's

1162
01:05:16,320 --> 01:05:18,560
Speaker 1: it feels great because you know you have the whole

1163
01:05:18,600 --> 01:05:20,920
Speaker 1: team on your back and they trust you to make

1164
01:05:20,960 --> 01:05:23,120
Speaker 1: that play, and they know the balls coming to you,

1165
01:05:23,160 --> 01:05:25,440
Speaker 1: and you're able to execute at a high level. You know,

1166
01:05:25,480 --> 01:05:30,560
Speaker 1: it's nothing better than that, nothing better, nothing better. And

1167
01:05:31,000 --> 01:05:34,080
Speaker 1: he's coming through. That's probably even more important. It's one

1168
01:05:34,120 --> 01:05:36,520
Speaker 1: thing to have a team put confidence in you, then

1169
01:05:36,560 --> 01:05:40,560
Speaker 1: to execute and come through. That only reinforces Hey, when

1170
01:05:40,560 --> 01:05:43,280
Speaker 1: we need to play, shouldn't be shy about coming back

1171
01:05:43,280 --> 01:05:47,960
Speaker 1: to this guy again. And it's just in two particularly

1172
01:05:47,960 --> 01:05:51,000
Speaker 1: in the given the error in which we all find ourselves.

1173
01:05:51,160 --> 01:05:55,080
Speaker 1: Being available is really nice. I mean, he's never I

1174
01:05:55,120 --> 01:05:56,960
Speaker 1: don't think he's ever missed a game because of injury

1175
01:05:56,960 --> 01:05:59,400
Speaker 1: in his careers. Last year or this year, he seems

1176
01:05:59,400 --> 01:06:02,200
Speaker 1: to be always They're always up, always available, and always

1177
01:06:02,760 --> 01:06:07,200
Speaker 1: performing in a high level. I think it's easy for

1178
01:06:07,280 --> 01:06:09,280
Speaker 1: us because we don't see him every day that the

1179
01:06:09,280 --> 01:06:11,160
Speaker 1: coaches see him every day. And there's reasons why they

1180
01:06:11,160 --> 01:06:13,240
Speaker 1: have the depth charts set set the way they do.

1181
01:06:13,320 --> 01:06:16,360
Speaker 1: Why Emmanuel Sanders was playing, Gabe Davis was reserved and

1182
01:06:16,480 --> 01:06:18,640
Speaker 1: was coming in and out of the game, there's reasons

1183
01:06:18,640 --> 01:06:21,120
Speaker 1: for that. I get it. But as fans and now

1184
01:06:21,200 --> 01:06:24,120
Speaker 1: probably as his teammates and coaches, when you go to

1185
01:06:24,160 --> 01:06:26,800
Speaker 1: a guy and he never legend, it's always a positive

1186
01:06:26,800 --> 01:06:29,640
Speaker 1: return on that investment of effort and targets and all

1187
01:06:29,640 --> 01:06:32,400
Speaker 1: of that stuff, you want to go there more. You

1188
01:06:32,440 --> 01:06:35,120
Speaker 1: want to keep feeding that investment and you want to,

1189
01:06:35,360 --> 01:06:37,920
Speaker 1: you know, and give it more chances to be more productive.

1190
01:06:37,920 --> 01:06:40,680
Speaker 1: And I think that's where fans find themselves with Gabe Davis.

1191
01:06:40,720 --> 01:06:42,680
Speaker 1: That's where I find myself. I want to see how

1192
01:06:42,720 --> 01:06:45,320
Speaker 1: good he can be. Let's give him even more chances,

1193
01:06:45,320 --> 01:06:47,840
Speaker 1: give him more opportunities, and I know I've mentioned this

1194
01:06:47,880 --> 01:06:49,960
Speaker 1: on the show before, but last year he has thirty

1195
01:06:49,960 --> 01:06:53,400
Speaker 1: five receptions, seven touchdowns, and he had three call back

1196
01:06:53,400 --> 01:06:55,840
Speaker 1: on penalty last year. Could have ten touchdowns last year

1197
01:06:55,880 --> 01:06:59,680
Speaker 1: on thirty eight catches. So even without those, the guy

1198
01:07:00,160 --> 01:07:03,680
Speaker 1: to touchdown once every five receptions last year. You want

1199
01:07:03,720 --> 01:07:06,920
Speaker 1: to know what his pace is this year? One touchdown

1200
01:07:06,960 --> 01:07:11,440
Speaker 1: every four point eight receptions. He's catching touchdown passes even

1201
01:07:11,480 --> 01:07:14,400
Speaker 1: more frequently than he did last year. Now that's due

1202
01:07:14,440 --> 01:07:16,720
Speaker 1: in part to the fact that his playing time has

1203
01:07:16,760 --> 01:07:19,160
Speaker 1: been curtailed to a certain extent this year, but the

1204
01:07:19,240 --> 01:07:24,040
Speaker 1: production remains. You put him on the field, he scores touchdowns.

1205
01:07:25,240 --> 01:07:27,360
Speaker 1: He gets simple as that. And you know that we've

1206
01:07:27,360 --> 01:07:29,760
Speaker 1: seen him score those touchdowns in recent weeks on those

1207
01:07:29,920 --> 01:07:32,760
Speaker 1: on those slant routes you know where Josh fake play fake,

1208
01:07:32,840 --> 01:07:34,560
Speaker 1: comes back to the backside and hits them on the

1209
01:07:34,560 --> 01:07:36,960
Speaker 1: slant right at the goal line. He did it once

1210
01:07:37,000 --> 01:07:40,200
Speaker 1: against Tampa Bay. Tried to go back to it again

1211
01:07:40,240 --> 01:07:44,640
Speaker 1: against Tampa Bay and it got knocked down. Just he's

1212
01:07:44,760 --> 01:07:51,360
Speaker 1: big and he's goneical physical abilities to separate. So yeah,

1213
01:07:51,440 --> 01:07:54,320
Speaker 1: I think we're all kind of going down that. I

1214
01:07:54,360 --> 01:07:57,840
Speaker 1: have no issues with Gabe Davis taking over for Emmanuel Sanders,

1215
01:07:57,880 --> 01:08:00,760
Speaker 1: and I expect no drop off and perhaps even a

1216
01:08:00,760 --> 01:08:03,840
Speaker 1: bump in production. Let's go to the phones at eight

1217
01:08:03,880 --> 01:08:06,400
Speaker 1: oh three oh five fifty. That's around the Locker Room

1218
01:08:06,440 --> 01:08:10,640
Speaker 1: presented by Connect Life, your blood and organ donor Network.

1219
01:08:10,840 --> 01:08:12,280
Speaker 1: But we go to the phones now at eight oh

1220
01:08:12,320 --> 01:08:14,520
Speaker 1: three oh five fifty. Open line for you there, and

1221
01:08:14,600 --> 01:08:17,040
Speaker 1: we begin with Fred and Rochester. What do you have

1222
01:08:17,080 --> 01:08:22,400
Speaker 1: for us? Fred, you're on one Bill's Life. Yeah, Hi, guys,

1223
01:08:22,400 --> 01:08:24,320
Speaker 1: just a couple of things. I don't know if you

1224
01:08:24,439 --> 01:08:29,439
Speaker 1: guys watched the New Orleans camp A game, but there

1225
01:08:29,560 --> 01:08:33,320
Speaker 1: was a real interesting play that they had a short

1226
01:08:33,400 --> 01:08:37,880
Speaker 1: yardage play and they actually formed This was New Orleans.

1227
01:08:37,920 --> 01:08:42,400
Speaker 1: They actually formed a rugby wed scrum type of situation

1228
01:08:42,479 --> 01:08:46,280
Speaker 1: at a short yardage play. Don't know if you guys

1229
01:08:46,320 --> 01:08:48,479
Speaker 1: caught it or not. Yeah, I saw they made the

1230
01:08:48,479 --> 01:08:51,240
Speaker 1: first dound. Yeah, they made the first sound without any problem.

1231
01:08:51,439 --> 01:08:53,519
Speaker 1: It was a quarterback. There was a quarterback sneak and

1232
01:08:53,560 --> 01:08:55,519
Speaker 1: they just they bunched up in the line scrimmage and

1233
01:08:55,560 --> 01:08:58,320
Speaker 1: just made sure that the quarterback kept his feet and

1234
01:08:58,360 --> 01:09:01,400
Speaker 1: they just kind of pushed together heather, which is legal

1235
01:09:01,479 --> 01:09:03,240
Speaker 1: now that it wasn't hasn't always been legal. It is

1236
01:09:03,280 --> 01:09:06,200
Speaker 1: now for you to You can push a ball carrier

1237
01:09:06,240 --> 01:09:10,240
Speaker 1: as an offensive player, but you can't pull him. There's

1238
01:09:10,280 --> 01:09:12,920
Speaker 1: subtle difference, and yeah, we've seen variations of that through

1239
01:09:12,960 --> 01:09:15,120
Speaker 1: the course of the season where you know, a guy's

1240
01:09:15,160 --> 01:09:17,240
Speaker 1: tied up with a defender, but the defender can't get

1241
01:09:17,280 --> 01:09:20,759
Speaker 1: him down on the ground. Lineman come in to continue

1242
01:09:20,800 --> 01:09:23,360
Speaker 1: his forward momentum so the ref doesn't blow the whistle

1243
01:09:23,400 --> 01:09:25,519
Speaker 1: and they gain more yards as a result. I mean,

1244
01:09:25,520 --> 01:09:28,040
Speaker 1: we've seen some guys get pushed clean into the end

1245
01:09:28,120 --> 01:09:30,080
Speaker 1: zone from the four yard line, and I think that

1246
01:09:30,720 --> 01:09:33,439
Speaker 1: Chris Collinsworth did allude to the fact that it was

1247
01:09:33,840 --> 01:09:37,600
Speaker 1: it's kind of a rugby type, yeah play, and I

1248
01:09:37,600 --> 01:09:39,640
Speaker 1: played rugby in college, so yeah, there's a little bit

1249
01:09:39,640 --> 01:09:41,679
Speaker 1: of that in there. And it was a funky formation

1250
01:09:41,720 --> 01:09:44,519
Speaker 1: as well. I mean, they didn't hide anything. The key

1251
01:09:44,600 --> 01:09:49,320
Speaker 1: to that working, to me, is the fact that you've

1252
01:09:49,400 --> 01:09:53,360
Speaker 1: got to almost you have to keep the defenders on

1253
01:09:53,439 --> 01:09:55,680
Speaker 1: their feet as well as you're running back or your

1254
01:09:55,760 --> 01:09:57,599
Speaker 1: quarterback and all the guys on your side, because as

1255
01:09:57,600 --> 01:10:00,680
Speaker 1: soon as somebody falls down, everybody's tripping over the guy.

1256
01:10:00,920 --> 01:10:02,599
Speaker 1: But if you can keep your feet and you've got

1257
01:10:02,640 --> 01:10:05,360
Speaker 1: momentum and you stay low enough, the leverage just gives

1258
01:10:05,360 --> 01:10:08,240
Speaker 1: you the you know, the push. Yeah, that's what rugby is.

1259
01:10:08,240 --> 01:10:11,639
Speaker 1: It's a scrum. Your guys are, you know, pushing against

1260
01:10:11,640 --> 01:10:14,160
Speaker 1: each other, and you push against their guys now, right,

1261
01:10:14,160 --> 01:10:15,880
Speaker 1: it's a leverage battle. And when you've got the snap

1262
01:10:15,920 --> 01:10:19,280
Speaker 1: count and they have to guard the edges in case

1263
01:10:19,320 --> 01:10:22,479
Speaker 1: you back out and throw it, you just outnumber them

1264
01:10:22,520 --> 01:10:25,559
Speaker 1: inside and it becomes a question of leverage and weight

1265
01:10:25,600 --> 01:10:28,640
Speaker 1: and muscles. Um. So when you got this, when you

1266
01:10:28,720 --> 01:10:30,960
Speaker 1: got the snap count, it works, and it is a

1267
01:10:30,960 --> 01:10:32,640
Speaker 1: little bit of rugby. And it did remind me a

1268
01:10:32,640 --> 01:10:36,320
Speaker 1: little bit of that, particularly the formation. Um, I did

1269
01:10:36,360 --> 01:10:39,280
Speaker 1: see it, and I'm but you know, there are reasons

1270
01:10:39,320 --> 01:10:42,160
Speaker 1: stuff works, and there are reasons why not everybody does it.

1271
01:10:42,400 --> 01:10:45,960
Speaker 1: And it should be noted Tampa does have a big

1272
01:10:46,479 --> 01:10:49,000
Speaker 1: offensive line, a lot of big bodies. This was New

1273
01:10:49,080 --> 01:10:52,840
Speaker 1: Orleans going. It was New Orleans because the ta Taystom

1274
01:10:52,880 --> 01:10:55,519
Speaker 1: Hill at quarterback. Oh and well that helps too, right,

1275
01:10:55,640 --> 01:10:59,960
Speaker 1: and so and they just against your athlete, you know,

1276
01:11:00,000 --> 01:11:01,840
Speaker 1: they spread it out and they get Taysom Hill and

1277
01:11:01,920 --> 01:11:03,920
Speaker 1: I think they had like it was almost like a

1278
01:11:04,000 --> 01:11:06,880
Speaker 1: kneel down play. Running back beside him on his right

1279
01:11:08,080 --> 01:11:10,200
Speaker 1: out there and a guy behind him, and they all

1280
01:11:10,240 --> 01:11:13,479
Speaker 1: just the offensive line tight splits and they just pushed.

1281
01:11:13,560 --> 01:11:15,600
Speaker 1: It's like an Amiba push. Yeah, and they just and

1282
01:11:15,600 --> 01:11:17,519
Speaker 1: they got an extra Yeah, they got three yards on

1283
01:11:17,520 --> 01:11:20,240
Speaker 1: a fourth and one and it and it was enough. Um.

1284
01:11:20,560 --> 01:11:23,439
Speaker 1: But I think there are techniques you gotta use, even

1285
01:11:23,560 --> 01:11:25,880
Speaker 1: even when you're just using brute strength, there's techniques those

1286
01:11:25,880 --> 01:11:28,280
Speaker 1: guys need to use to make sure it's gonna work

1287
01:11:28,280 --> 01:11:29,680
Speaker 1: and give yourself a best chance. And that means I

1288
01:11:29,720 --> 01:11:31,600
Speaker 1: guess Fred is wondering if the Bills could pull that

1289
01:11:31,680 --> 01:11:34,240
Speaker 1: off with an athlete like Josh Allen. Yeah, you're probab Absolutely,

1290
01:11:34,320 --> 01:11:39,760
Speaker 1: it's just a question of keeping your feet. To me, Yeah,

1291
01:11:40,400 --> 01:11:43,240
Speaker 1: once you get it going, day upright and just until

1292
01:11:43,280 --> 01:11:45,439
Speaker 1: somebody falls down, can you trip over him? Yeah? Keep

1293
01:11:45,439 --> 01:11:47,920
Speaker 1: on sharing it back to the phones and to Chris

1294
01:11:47,960 --> 01:11:49,840
Speaker 1: in Brooklyn. What you got for us? Chris, You're on

1295
01:11:49,920 --> 01:11:53,760
Speaker 1: one Bill's life. Hey, you guys that worry good. Um. So,

1296
01:11:53,800 --> 01:11:57,599
Speaker 1: I think my major takeaway from yesterday's game is that

1297
01:11:57,800 --> 01:12:03,000
Speaker 1: the Bill's best run defense is actually their offense. Um.

1298
01:12:03,400 --> 01:12:06,000
Speaker 1: The offense came out a little slow, little clunky yesterday,

1299
01:12:06,200 --> 01:12:07,960
Speaker 1: and so the you know, the Panthers are able to

1300
01:12:08,120 --> 01:12:09,639
Speaker 1: you know, run the ball, and they could, they could

1301
01:12:09,640 --> 01:12:10,880
Speaker 1: stick with the run for a little bit and they

1302
01:12:10,920 --> 01:12:15,080
Speaker 1: ran relatively well. But as the offense started clicking, Um,

1303
01:12:15,120 --> 01:12:17,040
Speaker 1: you know, teams aren't going to be able to to

1304
01:12:17,640 --> 01:12:20,960
Speaker 1: maintain the run for for that long. And I think

1305
01:12:21,000 --> 01:12:23,760
Speaker 1: when you know, when when the offense starts clicking and

1306
01:12:23,800 --> 01:12:26,280
Speaker 1: when and when our offense is putting up thirty plus points,

1307
01:12:26,600 --> 01:12:28,599
Speaker 1: teams they're just going to have to abandon the run eventually.

1308
01:12:28,760 --> 01:12:30,200
Speaker 1: And I don't know if there's anything that the Bills

1309
01:12:30,240 --> 01:12:33,280
Speaker 1: can really do on the defensive side between now and

1310
01:12:33,400 --> 01:12:35,600
Speaker 1: the end of the season to really fix, you know,

1311
01:12:35,640 --> 01:12:37,000
Speaker 1: what they need to fix in order to have a

1312
01:12:37,000 --> 01:12:40,400
Speaker 1: solid um run defense. So I really think when when

1313
01:12:40,400 --> 01:12:44,160
Speaker 1: our offense is clicking, that's really going to be our

1314
01:12:44,200 --> 01:12:48,880
Speaker 1: best our best run defense. Yeah, you're one hundred percent right, Chris,

1315
01:12:48,880 --> 01:12:51,920
Speaker 1: And thanks for the call. Um. We mentioned it on

1316
01:12:52,160 --> 01:12:57,080
Speaker 1: the pregame radio show yesterday on the round table. Last year,

1317
01:12:58,000 --> 01:13:01,360
Speaker 1: this team led the league in for quarter scoring. And

1318
01:13:01,439 --> 01:13:03,880
Speaker 1: you say, well, it's not how you start, it's how

1319
01:13:03,920 --> 01:13:05,960
Speaker 1: you finish. Well, it kind of is important how you

1320
01:13:05,960 --> 01:13:08,679
Speaker 1: start because it can change the whole complexity of the game,

1321
01:13:09,080 --> 01:13:11,759
Speaker 1: or the complexion of the game, I should say, because

1322
01:13:12,280 --> 01:13:16,599
Speaker 1: putting those points up early forces your opponent to shift

1323
01:13:16,640 --> 01:13:20,360
Speaker 1: and change their game plan. And you look at it

1324
01:13:20,400 --> 01:13:23,800
Speaker 1: this year, in the last five games, the Bills have

1325
01:13:23,880 --> 01:13:27,639
Speaker 1: only scored once on their opening possession. In New Orleans

1326
01:13:27,640 --> 01:13:30,519
Speaker 1: on Thanksgiving, they scored a touchdown on their opening possession.

1327
01:13:30,760 --> 01:13:32,880
Speaker 1: In the last four games. In the last five games

1328
01:13:32,880 --> 01:13:35,120
Speaker 1: now because they didn't score in their first possession yesterday,

1329
01:13:35,920 --> 01:13:39,040
Speaker 1: the last five games, they have scored once on their

1330
01:13:39,080 --> 01:13:42,040
Speaker 1: opening possession, And it makes a difference. It sets a tone.

1331
01:13:42,320 --> 01:13:45,200
Speaker 1: It puts the pressure on your opponent's offense to match it.

1332
01:13:45,560 --> 01:13:48,080
Speaker 1: And then if they don't, you score again, Now your

1333
01:13:48,120 --> 01:13:50,439
Speaker 1: game plan gets compromised. I get what you're saying, Chris,

1334
01:13:50,439 --> 01:13:52,920
Speaker 1: and you're right. It is a good weapon to have.

1335
01:13:53,040 --> 01:13:56,879
Speaker 1: But here's a difference. If if your run defense, if

1336
01:13:56,920 --> 01:13:59,320
Speaker 1: they have a game like they did against the first

1337
01:13:59,800 --> 01:14:03,160
Speaker 1: game matchup against the Patriots, Patriots will never have to

1338
01:14:03,160 --> 01:14:06,759
Speaker 1: throw the football anyway, because here's why. If you don't

1339
01:14:06,880 --> 01:14:12,559
Speaker 1: score on every possession, if you do score in every possession,

1340
01:14:12,600 --> 01:14:14,360
Speaker 1: throw in the football like you want the Bills to do.

1341
01:14:14,520 --> 01:14:17,879
Speaker 1: It doesn't make any difference if your opponent, whoever it is, Patriots,

1342
01:14:18,080 --> 01:14:21,400
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans, the Baltimore Ravens, whoever. If they can

1343
01:14:21,479 --> 01:14:23,519
Speaker 1: keep up with you by running the football, there's no

1344
01:14:23,560 --> 01:14:25,800
Speaker 1: reason for them to ever abandon that. The question is

1345
01:14:26,640 --> 01:14:29,600
Speaker 1: can you score consistently enough and get stops on the

1346
01:14:29,680 --> 01:14:32,120
Speaker 1: other side, because if they can keep up with you

1347
01:14:32,200 --> 01:14:35,960
Speaker 1: by running the football, they won't have to catch up.

1348
01:14:37,080 --> 01:14:38,800
Speaker 1: If they can't, you know what I'm saying. It's not

1349
01:14:38,840 --> 01:14:41,519
Speaker 1: about catching, it's about keeping up and if if they

1350
01:14:41,520 --> 01:14:44,200
Speaker 1: can keep up without every resort. So there's a lot

1351
01:14:44,240 --> 01:14:46,519
Speaker 1: in that getting out ahead of using your offense as

1352
01:14:46,840 --> 01:14:49,160
Speaker 1: your best run defense, because you have to get out

1353
01:14:49,160 --> 01:14:52,120
Speaker 1: in front far enough so that they have to catch up,

1354
01:14:52,439 --> 01:14:56,240
Speaker 1: which means at some point you gotta get stops. Well. Yes,

1355
01:14:56,439 --> 01:14:59,519
Speaker 1: and the Bills run defense, while it has given up

1356
01:14:59,560 --> 01:15:01,960
Speaker 1: some big plays in the run game, there's still twelfth

1357
01:15:01,960 --> 01:15:04,479
Speaker 1: in the league against the run. There's still top ten

1358
01:15:04,560 --> 01:15:07,280
Speaker 1: and third down defense. They do get off the field

1359
01:15:07,760 --> 01:15:11,519
Speaker 1: enough to support an offense that if they can score

1360
01:15:11,520 --> 01:15:13,400
Speaker 1: early and get up on the scoreboard. I think the

1361
01:15:13,439 --> 01:15:16,320
Speaker 1: defense here is good enough that even in the last

1362
01:15:16,360 --> 01:15:21,160
Speaker 1: Patriot game, you scored fourteen points. Fourteen points. So there's

1363
01:15:21,200 --> 01:15:23,599
Speaker 1: your answer, Um, if you want them to do anything

1364
01:15:23,600 --> 01:15:26,800
Speaker 1: other than run the football, you got a hit on

1365
01:15:27,120 --> 01:15:29,800
Speaker 1: more of your well sessions. Yeah, And some fans might

1366
01:15:29,840 --> 01:15:31,320
Speaker 1: be like, well, what about the indie game. Well, the

1367
01:15:31,320 --> 01:15:34,639
Speaker 1: indie game, they're down fourteen nothing to the Colts. They

1368
01:15:34,640 --> 01:15:37,559
Speaker 1: could just keep on running. Well, they never scored any

1369
01:15:37,560 --> 01:15:40,240
Speaker 1: points here. It was fourteen to seven, the Bills answered.

1370
01:15:41,080 --> 01:15:43,160
Speaker 1: The next time the Bills hit the field, it was

1371
01:15:44,439 --> 01:15:48,800
Speaker 1: seven because they got a touchdown and on good luck

1372
01:15:48,840 --> 01:15:52,000
Speaker 1: climbing back into down and then they got the field. Guy,

1373
01:15:52,080 --> 01:15:54,360
Speaker 1: it was like before they even saw the ball again,

1374
01:15:54,360 --> 01:15:55,960
Speaker 1: it was twenty four seven. And then you know, then

1375
01:15:56,000 --> 01:15:58,960
Speaker 1: you're in a different game. Great time for us here

1376
01:15:59,080 --> 01:16:03,320
Speaker 1: because when we back, it's time after every Bill's victory

1377
01:16:03,320 --> 01:16:06,200
Speaker 1: on a Monday for the Maddie Awards. Maddie Clab will

1378
01:16:06,200 --> 01:16:08,960
Speaker 1: be joining us next to hand those out here on

1379
01:16:08,960 --> 01:16:11,280
Speaker 1: One Bill's Live, presented by Collat of Health. It's Buffalo

1380
01:16:11,320 --> 01:16:27,879
Speaker 1: Bills Radio. Welcome back to One Bills Live and every Monday,

1381
01:16:28,040 --> 01:16:32,000
Speaker 1: following a Bill's victory, not halfway through our program, it

1382
01:16:32,120 --> 01:16:36,519
Speaker 1: is time for the Maddie Awards, presented by Energy Mark,

1383
01:16:37,040 --> 01:16:41,599
Speaker 1: the official energy supplier to the Buffalo Bills, and it's

1384
01:16:41,640 --> 01:16:44,840
Speaker 1: at disappointed time that we welcome in one Maddie clab Mannie.

1385
01:16:44,880 --> 01:16:48,800
Speaker 1: How are we doing? Are doing good? Doing good? Guys.

1386
01:16:48,840 --> 01:16:51,280
Speaker 1: I'm happy to be back on with you us. It's

1387
01:16:51,280 --> 01:16:54,200
Speaker 1: been a couple of weeks off. But hopefully we can

1388
01:16:54,320 --> 01:16:58,000
Speaker 1: end the regular season with some regular appearances. That would

1389
01:16:58,000 --> 01:16:59,800
Speaker 1: be meant to that. That would be nice. I would

1390
01:17:00,360 --> 01:17:03,600
Speaker 1: for that, especially next Monday, of all Mondays, as that

1391
01:17:03,680 --> 01:17:06,839
Speaker 1: Giant rematch is coming up, as you well know, especially,

1392
01:17:06,960 --> 01:17:12,120
Speaker 1: but we want to begin with the Best Throw Award,

1393
01:17:12,160 --> 01:17:13,880
Speaker 1: which you have put on the list this week. So

1394
01:17:13,960 --> 01:17:16,840
Speaker 1: let's start there, all right, We'll start there, and I'm

1395
01:17:16,880 --> 01:17:19,600
Speaker 1: sure you guys have already discussed this because it was

1396
01:17:19,640 --> 01:17:22,479
Speaker 1: such a highlight from yesterday's game, and for a good reason.

1397
01:17:22,920 --> 01:17:26,080
Speaker 1: How about that throw that Josh Allen had to Gabe

1398
01:17:26,160 --> 01:17:28,719
Speaker 1: Davis for that twenty yard touchdown that put the Bills

1399
01:17:28,760 --> 01:17:31,600
Speaker 1: up twenty four to eight. I mean, Steve and I

1400
01:17:31,720 --> 01:17:34,719
Speaker 1: discussed this on the postgame show. That is a throw

1401
01:17:34,800 --> 01:17:38,400
Speaker 1: that not everyone can make and his vantage point when

1402
01:17:38,439 --> 01:17:40,759
Speaker 1: he was able to see Josh when he was letting

1403
01:17:40,800 --> 01:17:44,479
Speaker 1: go of that football. He really didn't have a clear view.

1404
01:17:44,600 --> 01:17:47,400
Speaker 1: And the fact that he was able to put it

1405
01:17:47,520 --> 01:17:51,080
Speaker 1: right in Gabe Davis's stomach. It's not like Gabe had

1406
01:17:51,120 --> 01:17:53,040
Speaker 1: to reach for that throw. It's not like he had

1407
01:17:53,200 --> 01:17:55,920
Speaker 1: jump up for that throw or squat down to make

1408
01:17:55,960 --> 01:17:59,439
Speaker 1: that catch. He was able to catch it right in

1409
01:17:59,479 --> 01:18:01,240
Speaker 1: his stomach, which is where you want to put the

1410
01:18:01,280 --> 01:18:03,200
Speaker 1: ball or near where you want to put the ball.

1411
01:18:03,280 --> 01:18:07,519
Speaker 1: I mean he throw it between two defenders. What a

1412
01:18:07,600 --> 01:18:11,280
Speaker 1: great play, A big drive of course in this game too,

1413
01:18:11,320 --> 01:18:14,759
Speaker 1: it lasted ten plays, seventy four yards. Was a must

1414
01:18:15,080 --> 01:18:18,400
Speaker 1: need touchdown for the Bills to kind of help them

1415
01:18:18,400 --> 01:18:20,639
Speaker 1: feel good about where they were at in that game.

1416
01:18:20,680 --> 01:18:23,880
Speaker 1: Of course they scored again. But what a throw by

1417
01:18:24,000 --> 01:18:26,719
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. What a catch by Gabe Davis. Those two

1418
01:18:26,760 --> 01:18:29,760
Speaker 1: have a nice hot connection here towards the end of

1419
01:18:29,760 --> 01:18:32,640
Speaker 1: the season. Yeah, that'd be nice if they could make

1420
01:18:32,680 --> 01:18:36,280
Speaker 1: a little something. Three straight we three straight we make

1421
01:18:36,280 --> 01:18:38,360
Speaker 1: it like seven or eight or ten straight weeks would

1422
01:18:38,360 --> 01:18:41,240
Speaker 1: be great too. Yeah. The other thing about that play,

1423
01:18:41,280 --> 01:18:43,840
Speaker 1: because I asked Josh to kind of walk us through it,

1424
01:18:43,920 --> 01:18:48,040
Speaker 1: he said, Carolina showed zero blitz. But then dropped out

1425
01:18:48,080 --> 01:18:49,719
Speaker 1: of it, so he knew he would have a little

1426
01:18:49,720 --> 01:18:52,320
Speaker 1: time to kind of survey the field, and that's why

1427
01:18:52,360 --> 01:18:54,640
Speaker 1: he was able to come back to Gabe in the

1428
01:18:54,640 --> 01:18:56,639
Speaker 1: middle of the field because he was looking Dig's way

1429
01:18:57,040 --> 01:18:59,719
Speaker 1: at the very beginning. And you're right, Maddie, he stuck

1430
01:18:59,720 --> 01:19:01,599
Speaker 1: it in there with a laser. So that was really

1431
01:19:01,760 --> 01:19:04,639
Speaker 1: really good throw. What about the you stepped Up award?

1432
01:19:05,760 --> 01:19:07,920
Speaker 1: All right, you stepped up? This is going to Gabe

1433
01:19:08,000 --> 01:19:10,080
Speaker 1: Davis just for the role that he's been able to

1434
01:19:10,120 --> 01:19:12,479
Speaker 1: take on over the last couple of weeks with the

1435
01:19:12,560 --> 01:19:15,880
Speaker 1: absence of Emmanuel Standers, who's been out with injury. Sean

1436
01:19:15,960 --> 01:19:20,400
Speaker 1: McDermott said, Manuel's week to week, so incomes Gabe Davis.

1437
01:19:20,439 --> 01:19:23,240
Speaker 1: And of course there's so many different weapons that Josh

1438
01:19:23,280 --> 01:19:26,080
Speaker 1: Allen can throw to and use, but Gabe Davis has

1439
01:19:26,120 --> 01:19:29,160
Speaker 1: been a hot hand as of late. He had two

1440
01:19:29,439 --> 01:19:34,439
Speaker 1: touchdown receptions yesterday average seventeen yards per reception. Brownie, You

1441
01:19:34,479 --> 01:19:36,760
Speaker 1: and I did over under for how much he would

1442
01:19:36,800 --> 01:19:38,840
Speaker 1: have in this game. We did over under eighty I

1443
01:19:38,880 --> 01:19:41,360
Speaker 1: believe it was, so you got it right. He had

1444
01:19:41,400 --> 01:19:44,880
Speaker 1: eighty five receiving yards. He's just stepped up with those

1445
01:19:44,960 --> 01:19:48,840
Speaker 1: limited opportunities. Even though that he's been given as of like,

1446
01:19:49,040 --> 01:19:51,439
Speaker 1: he's made the most of them and in some big

1447
01:19:51,479 --> 01:19:55,080
Speaker 1: time moments, in some big time plays, this younger player

1448
01:19:55,400 --> 01:19:58,439
Speaker 1: has really stepped up. I can't believe they got him

1449
01:19:58,439 --> 01:20:01,080
Speaker 1: in the fourth round. I think he is so valuable

1450
01:20:01,120 --> 01:20:04,000
Speaker 1: to this offense. I think he's going to be a

1451
01:20:04,040 --> 01:20:06,799
Speaker 1: receiver who plays in the NFL for a long time

1452
01:20:06,960 --> 01:20:09,960
Speaker 1: and becomes a household name. This guy is such a

1453
01:20:10,120 --> 01:20:13,880
Speaker 1: mismatch for defenses, especially when you get him in the

1454
01:20:13,920 --> 01:20:17,160
Speaker 1: red zone. He is strong, he is tall, He kind

1455
01:20:17,160 --> 01:20:19,200
Speaker 1: of has your tight end tight body but plays a

1456
01:20:19,240 --> 01:20:22,719
Speaker 1: wide receiver position. And I also just love the way

1457
01:20:22,720 --> 01:20:25,320
Speaker 1: that Gabe talks about the game of football. You heard

1458
01:20:25,320 --> 01:20:28,040
Speaker 1: from him yesterday after the game and he was asked

1459
01:20:28,040 --> 01:20:31,960
Speaker 1: about maybe stepping up some of those touchdown celebrations, and

1460
01:20:32,000 --> 01:20:34,840
Speaker 1: he said, you know, I sometimes forget about celebrating once

1461
01:20:34,880 --> 01:20:37,120
Speaker 1: I get in the end zone because I'm just so

1462
01:20:37,200 --> 01:20:39,799
Speaker 1: happy to be there. And I know he's really happy

1463
01:20:39,840 --> 01:20:42,439
Speaker 1: with the opportunity he's gotten as of late. All Right,

1464
01:20:42,560 --> 01:20:46,240
Speaker 1: so now we move along to the Rising Star Award.

1465
01:20:47,400 --> 01:20:50,120
Speaker 1: All Right, Rising Star Award, this is going to the

1466
01:20:50,200 --> 01:20:54,200
Speaker 1: offense for going four of five in the red zone.

1467
01:20:54,320 --> 01:20:59,000
Speaker 1: That is a huge number. Eighty percent. Their average going

1468
01:20:59,040 --> 01:21:02,600
Speaker 1: into this game was fifty eight point nine percent was

1469
01:21:02,640 --> 01:21:06,160
Speaker 1: their red zone efficiency. They go eighty percent in this game.

1470
01:21:06,160 --> 01:21:09,160
Speaker 1: And yes, they were going up against defense who's not

1471
01:21:09,240 --> 01:21:12,040
Speaker 1: the best in the red zone, but this defense also

1472
01:21:12,120 --> 01:21:15,160
Speaker 1: only allows an average of twenty one points per game.

1473
01:21:15,200 --> 01:21:19,040
Speaker 1: I'm talking about the Carolina Panthers defense, And if you

1474
01:21:19,080 --> 01:21:21,320
Speaker 1: want to win games down the stretch here the next

1475
01:21:21,360 --> 01:21:24,160
Speaker 1: three games, you have to be efficient in the red zone.

1476
01:21:24,200 --> 01:21:27,240
Speaker 1: You have to take advantage of those red zone opportunities.

1477
01:21:27,320 --> 01:21:29,840
Speaker 1: So I'm just so proud of what this offense was

1478
01:21:29,880 --> 01:21:32,320
Speaker 1: able to do in the red zone yesterday. It's a

1479
01:21:32,400 --> 01:21:34,639
Speaker 1: stat that they've kind of struggled with on and off

1480
01:21:34,680 --> 01:21:37,439
Speaker 1: throughout the season, but going four of five in the

1481
01:21:37,479 --> 01:21:41,040
Speaker 1: red zone is exactly what you want to see. Yeah.

1482
01:21:41,120 --> 01:21:42,800
Speaker 1: One of the other things that happened we spoke about

1483
01:21:42,800 --> 01:21:45,960
Speaker 1: this earlier was that the Carolina kicker went down injured

1484
01:21:46,080 --> 01:21:48,640
Speaker 1: during pregame warm ups, which set it set up the

1485
01:21:48,680 --> 01:21:53,360
Speaker 1: Bill's defense for a helded down award. Right, Yes, I'm

1486
01:21:53,360 --> 01:21:56,400
Speaker 1: giving a helded down award to our defense for the

1487
01:21:56,439 --> 01:21:59,439
Speaker 1: fourth down stops that they had the Carolina Panthers were

1488
01:21:59,439 --> 01:22:03,200
Speaker 1: one of five on fourth down, and what great practice

1489
01:22:03,280 --> 01:22:07,559
Speaker 1: to get five opportunities at stopping fourth downs. That rarely

1490
01:22:07,680 --> 01:22:10,200
Speaker 1: happens in a game where a team has to go

1491
01:22:10,320 --> 01:22:12,960
Speaker 1: for it that much on fourth down, and they were

1492
01:22:13,000 --> 01:22:15,639
Speaker 1: able to have four fourth downd stops, which is huge.

1493
01:22:16,240 --> 01:22:19,919
Speaker 1: Definitely not easy for anybody to do, for any defense

1494
01:22:19,960 --> 01:22:22,200
Speaker 1: to do, no matter how good you are, to stop

1495
01:22:22,200 --> 01:22:24,760
Speaker 1: a team who may have some momentum on fourth down,

1496
01:22:24,760 --> 01:22:27,559
Speaker 1: who may be able to get closer to the red

1497
01:22:27,640 --> 01:22:30,120
Speaker 1: zone or you, of course convert into a first down.

1498
01:22:30,400 --> 01:22:34,160
Speaker 1: I mean, the defense also just allowed two hundred and

1499
01:22:34,200 --> 01:22:37,839
Speaker 1: seventy five total yards three point nine yards per play.

1500
01:22:38,240 --> 01:22:40,080
Speaker 1: They did a really good job with how they are

1501
01:22:40,120 --> 01:22:44,120
Speaker 1: able to contain the Carolina Panthers and Cam Newton. So

1502
01:22:44,200 --> 01:22:46,920
Speaker 1: those fourth down stops were huge for this team and

1503
01:22:47,040 --> 01:22:49,840
Speaker 1: really help the offense get back on the field. And

1504
01:22:49,880 --> 01:22:53,400
Speaker 1: then we go around the league now and the stun

1505
01:22:53,560 --> 01:22:56,360
Speaker 1: Up Award. I think this might be pretty easy for

1506
01:22:56,439 --> 01:22:59,599
Speaker 1: some people to guess, but why don't you enlighten us here,

1507
01:22:59,600 --> 01:23:05,479
Speaker 1: Maddie Stunt of both figuratively and literally. The Stunner wins

1508
01:23:05,680 --> 01:23:10,839
Speaker 1: were the Lions beating the Arizona Cardinals thirty to twelve.

1509
01:23:10,920 --> 01:23:13,760
Speaker 1: I mean, here comes the Lions, the team that's one

1510
01:23:13,800 --> 01:23:18,439
Speaker 1: and eleven, walking in to play the Cardinals who were

1511
01:23:18,479 --> 01:23:23,000
Speaker 1: ten and three. This is just another one of those

1512
01:23:23,640 --> 01:23:26,120
Speaker 1: what random team is going to beat a really good

1513
01:23:26,160 --> 01:23:28,599
Speaker 1: team this week in the NFL, because we have seen

1514
01:23:28,640 --> 01:23:31,799
Speaker 1: it time and time again. I don't think people thought

1515
01:23:31,840 --> 01:23:34,639
Speaker 1: that the Lions were going to put thirty points up

1516
01:23:34,880 --> 01:23:37,760
Speaker 1: against the Arizona Cardinals, one of the best teams in

1517
01:23:37,800 --> 01:23:40,639
Speaker 1: the NFL. But Jared Goff through for three touchdowns, so

1518
01:23:40,960 --> 01:23:45,000
Speaker 1: no big deal. And also how about the Saints shutting

1519
01:23:45,040 --> 01:23:49,360
Speaker 1: out the Bucks, one of the best offenses in the NFL.

1520
01:23:49,400 --> 01:23:52,479
Speaker 1: And of course, yeah, a lot of their offensive players

1521
01:23:52,520 --> 01:23:55,880
Speaker 1: went out, but it's Tom Brady, and isn't Tom Brady

1522
01:23:55,960 --> 01:23:59,800
Speaker 1: supposed to, you know, do things step up in big

1523
01:23:59,840 --> 01:24:03,280
Speaker 1: time moments put some points on the scoreboard. Didn't seem

1524
01:24:03,360 --> 01:24:06,320
Speaker 1: that way because the Saints beat him nine to zero

1525
01:24:06,560 --> 01:24:10,360
Speaker 1: and Alvin Kamara also only had eighteen rushing yards, So

1526
01:24:10,640 --> 01:24:13,719
Speaker 1: kind of a weird game there, But way to go Saints. Yeah,

1527
01:24:13,800 --> 01:24:17,640
Speaker 1: and the Lions were thirty, came into the game thirtieth

1528
01:24:17,680 --> 01:24:20,200
Speaker 1: in the league and scoring and then they hang a

1529
01:24:20,280 --> 01:24:22,880
Speaker 1: thirty burger on the Cardinals. How about that? That is

1530
01:24:22,880 --> 01:24:26,679
Speaker 1: a stunner. And they were low scoring games across the league.

1531
01:24:26,880 --> 01:24:29,760
Speaker 1: It was like bizarre week. Yeah, everybody else couldn't score

1532
01:24:29,840 --> 01:24:33,560
Speaker 1: and the Lions put up thirty on the Cardinals. Yeah, unbelievable.

1533
01:24:33,560 --> 01:24:35,759
Speaker 1: All right, one more before we let you go, Maddie

1534
01:24:35,760 --> 01:24:38,479
Speaker 1: the Big Man on Campus Award, tell us about this one.

1535
01:24:39,439 --> 01:24:42,879
Speaker 1: Who doesn't love a big man touchdown in the NFL.

1536
01:24:43,040 --> 01:24:45,760
Speaker 1: And the Miami Dolphins were able to have just that

1537
01:24:45,840 --> 01:24:48,519
Speaker 1: in their win against the Jets. It was the thirty

1538
01:24:48,600 --> 01:24:51,599
Speaker 1: one to twenty four point victory against the Jets, and

1539
01:24:52,000 --> 01:24:56,880
Speaker 1: Christian Wilkins showed off his hands catching a pass in

1540
01:24:56,960 --> 01:25:00,320
Speaker 1: the end zone for a touchdown, and he sell rated

1541
01:25:00,360 --> 01:25:02,880
Speaker 1: by jumping into the stands and was falling into the seats,

1542
01:25:02,920 --> 01:25:05,360
Speaker 1: and then he did the worm after that. So he

1543
01:25:05,439 --> 01:25:08,920
Speaker 1: also showed off his dance moves as well. So we

1544
01:25:09,000 --> 01:25:13,120
Speaker 1: love a big guy touchdown in the NFL. Yeah. Anybody

1545
01:25:13,120 --> 01:25:15,360
Speaker 1: that can do the worm has got my respect. That

1546
01:25:15,400 --> 01:25:18,840
Speaker 1: was always the great Dan. He did a nice job

1547
01:25:18,840 --> 01:25:20,680
Speaker 1: of it too. I don't know how about you. If

1548
01:25:20,680 --> 01:25:22,840
Speaker 1: you're the front row in that box and you see

1549
01:25:22,880 --> 01:25:25,080
Speaker 1: the big three hundred three bills coming at you look

1550
01:25:25,120 --> 01:25:28,160
Speaker 1: at the worm. And then he threw in a windmill.

1551
01:25:28,520 --> 01:25:30,519
Speaker 1: He threw in a little windmill at the end, yeah,

1552
01:25:30,560 --> 01:25:32,880
Speaker 1: which the cameras didn't catch. But he was doing a

1553
01:25:32,880 --> 01:25:35,120
Speaker 1: little windmill too, where you spin over your shoulders. That's

1554
01:25:35,160 --> 01:25:37,720
Speaker 1: not an easy jumping into some soccer mom's lap and

1555
01:25:37,760 --> 01:25:41,479
Speaker 1: she's like going, what are you doing? You know? I mean, yeah,

1556
01:25:41,680 --> 01:25:44,240
Speaker 1: great stuff though, Mandy, good stuff. Good, good group of

1574
01:26:59,520 --> 01:27:04,320
Speaker 1: more players going on the COVID reserve list now. The

1575
01:27:04,439 --> 01:27:07,160
Speaker 1: Athletic is reporting this. I have not seen the charges

1576
01:27:07,200 --> 01:27:10,759
Speaker 1: of report this officially, but the LA Chargers are dealing

1577
01:27:11,240 --> 01:27:13,960
Speaker 1: with some members of their team going on the COVID

1578
01:27:14,040 --> 01:27:20,679
Speaker 1: reserve list. According to the Athletic Center, Corey Lindsley, pass rusher,

1579
01:27:20,760 --> 01:27:24,400
Speaker 1: Joey Bosa, running back Austin Eckler all being placed on

1580
01:27:24,400 --> 01:27:29,360
Speaker 1: the COVID reserve list today. More names expected later, according

1581
01:27:29,360 --> 01:27:31,960
Speaker 1: to this report from the Athletics. So we'll keep our

1582
01:27:32,000 --> 01:27:34,960
Speaker 1: either the ground on that and see if in fact

1583
01:27:35,760 --> 01:27:40,080
Speaker 1: the Chargers confirm that report. We are going to go

1584
01:27:40,120 --> 01:27:42,960
Speaker 1: back to the phones, though, and we've got Chris on

1585
01:27:43,080 --> 01:27:45,559
Speaker 1: a Selle waiting patiently for us. Chris, what do you

1586
01:27:45,600 --> 01:27:49,519
Speaker 1: have for us here on one Bills Live. Hey, Chris

1587
01:27:49,560 --> 01:27:53,439
Speaker 1: and Steve, how are you guys doing? Doing great? Great? Great?

1588
01:27:53,479 --> 01:27:56,400
Speaker 1: Thanks for taking my call. Sure I got a question

1589
01:27:56,479 --> 01:27:59,400
Speaker 1: for you. One of the plays that happened in the game,

1590
01:27:59,680 --> 01:28:02,920
Speaker 1: and it just made me think. I wasn't sure what

1591
01:28:03,000 --> 01:28:06,440
Speaker 1: the rules were, and I was hoping that you could clarify. Um.

1592
01:28:06,680 --> 01:28:10,840
Speaker 1: It was the play that Cam Newton um. He broke

1593
01:28:10,880 --> 01:28:14,519
Speaker 1: off a run and then one of the Bill's players

1594
01:28:14,800 --> 01:28:18,680
Speaker 1: um punched the ball out from behind. Uh. Do you

1595
01:28:18,720 --> 01:28:25,839
Speaker 1: guys remember that play from yesterday's game? No? Yeah, yeah yeah,

1596
01:28:25,840 --> 01:28:28,799
Speaker 1: and then the ball kind of bounced and was grabbed

1597
01:28:28,800 --> 01:28:33,920
Speaker 1: by DJ Moore. UM. And I wasn't sure if um,

1598
01:28:34,360 --> 01:28:40,200
Speaker 1: because I've heard that only if the fumbling player can

1599
01:28:40,600 --> 01:28:43,639
Speaker 1: advance the ball after it's been fumbled. But that's usually

1600
01:28:43,680 --> 01:28:47,320
Speaker 1: like when a quarterback loses the fumble in the pocket

1601
01:28:47,400 --> 01:28:49,400
Speaker 1: and an offensive lineman tries to pick it up and

1602
01:28:49,439 --> 01:28:51,719
Speaker 1: advance it, and they say, no, it's dead because only

1603
01:28:51,760 --> 01:28:55,120
Speaker 1: the quarterback can can advance it. But I wasn't sure

1604
01:28:55,160 --> 01:28:59,439
Speaker 1: if that rule pertains to any active ball carrier like

1605
01:28:59,479 --> 01:29:03,120
Speaker 1: a why receiver or running backside Chris the way I

1606
01:29:03,200 --> 01:29:05,600
Speaker 1: understand it, and I may be wrong, Rather this is it.

1607
01:29:05,680 --> 01:29:07,800
Speaker 1: You're right, it's a it's a good question. But in

1608
01:29:07,880 --> 01:29:11,800
Speaker 1: the last two minutes of the game and the last

1609
01:29:11,800 --> 01:29:13,840
Speaker 1: four minutes of the of the last few minutes and

1610
01:29:13,840 --> 01:29:15,200
Speaker 1: a half, the last four minutes of the game or

1611
01:29:15,240 --> 01:29:19,519
Speaker 1: something like that. The only the only the guy who

1612
01:29:19,680 --> 01:29:24,280
Speaker 1: fumbled it can advance it. The Holy roller is so

1613
01:29:24,320 --> 01:29:28,640
Speaker 1: if he coughs it up, nobody can. Nobody can do

1614
01:29:28,680 --> 01:29:32,080
Speaker 1: anything except fall on it and retain possession. But it

1615
01:29:32,120 --> 01:29:34,920
Speaker 1: goes back to the spot where he fumbled it. Um

1616
01:29:35,200 --> 01:29:38,479
Speaker 1: Any other time than that, when the ball comes out, well,

1617
01:29:38,520 --> 01:29:41,840
Speaker 1: no matter where it bounces forward or backward, anybody can

1618
01:29:41,840 --> 01:29:44,360
Speaker 1: scoop it and advance it. Live ball. Advanced the ball,

1619
01:29:44,360 --> 01:29:46,920
Speaker 1: it's a live ball. Reason they put that rule in

1620
01:29:47,479 --> 01:29:50,200
Speaker 1: to prevent advancing of a fumble in the last two

1621
01:29:50,240 --> 01:29:53,120
Speaker 1: minutes of a game is because the Oakland Raiders famously

1622
01:29:53,920 --> 01:29:58,000
Speaker 1: kept kicking the ball forward down the field or pushing

1623
01:29:58,000 --> 01:30:00,400
Speaker 1: it forward with their hands to get it all the

1624
01:30:00,400 --> 01:30:02,120
Speaker 1: way to the end zone, and then they jumped on

1625
01:30:02,200 --> 01:30:03,879
Speaker 1: the ball in the end zone and won a football

1626
01:30:03,960 --> 01:30:06,760
Speaker 1: game that way, a playoff game. That's why. That's why

1627
01:30:06,800 --> 01:30:10,720
Speaker 1: the rule was instituted to prevent people from artificially advancing

1628
01:30:10,760 --> 01:30:13,400
Speaker 1: the ball by just kicking it pushing it with their hands.

1629
01:30:13,400 --> 01:30:16,120
Speaker 1: That's not football, yeah in their eyes. Yeah, so the

1630
01:30:16,200 --> 01:30:18,479
Speaker 1: purest form anyway, well, they you know, they exploited the

1631
01:30:18,520 --> 01:30:21,240
Speaker 1: rules of the current moment and got a play. It

1632
01:30:21,280 --> 01:30:25,439
Speaker 1: got a game out of it, and it should have been. Yeah,

1633
01:30:25,439 --> 01:30:27,559
Speaker 1: and you'll see the critics of that play of the

1634
01:30:27,600 --> 01:30:30,519
Speaker 1: Holy Roller was that, you know, Kenny Stabler didn't fumble

1635
01:30:30,560 --> 01:30:38,280
Speaker 1: that he threw it forward underhanded, but to win when

1636
01:30:38,320 --> 01:30:40,200
Speaker 1: he did it right, Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, it was.

1637
01:30:40,360 --> 01:30:45,280
Speaker 1: It was a smart play, smart play. And then Dave

1638
01:30:45,360 --> 01:30:48,479
Speaker 1: Casper did another smart thing. He just kind of kicked

1639
01:30:48,520 --> 01:30:51,200
Speaker 1: it and bumbled. He didn't scoop it up and run.

1640
01:30:51,600 --> 01:30:54,400
Speaker 1: He just stumbled it forward and then it fell on it. Um.

1641
01:30:54,439 --> 01:30:55,840
Speaker 1: I don't know if he meant to do that or

1642
01:30:55,880 --> 01:30:57,800
Speaker 1: he could have scooped it and whatever, but it looked

1643
01:30:57,800 --> 01:31:00,400
Speaker 1: like he was the Raiders of the day to do

1644
01:31:00,520 --> 01:31:03,720
Speaker 1: everything they did for all intents, and they won the

1645
01:31:03,760 --> 01:31:05,680
Speaker 1: game because of it, and for all I know, they

1646
01:31:05,920 --> 01:31:07,280
Speaker 1: that might have been a year they went on and

1647
01:31:07,280 --> 01:31:10,240
Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl, so they certainly got to the

1648
01:31:10,280 --> 01:31:14,800
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. So um, yeah, there are some rules, but

1649
01:31:14,840 --> 01:31:16,280
Speaker 1: it has to do with the time on the clock,

1650
01:31:16,320 --> 01:31:18,400
Speaker 1: on time left in the game. So if you and

1651
01:31:18,520 --> 01:31:22,800
Speaker 1: also on a fourth down, it's also true you can't

1652
01:31:22,800 --> 01:31:24,600
Speaker 1: do it on a fourth down you can't fumble it

1653
01:31:24,640 --> 01:31:28,960
Speaker 1: forward to have a guy recover it across the across

1654
01:31:29,000 --> 01:31:30,840
Speaker 1: the line for a first down, it goes back to

1655
01:31:30,880 --> 01:31:32,920
Speaker 1: the point where the guy fumbled it. I believe that's

1656
01:31:32,920 --> 01:31:36,880
Speaker 1: the case. Also in an end zone, when you fumble

1657
01:31:36,960 --> 01:31:41,040
Speaker 1: it going in, only the guy who fumbled it can

1658
01:31:41,080 --> 01:31:45,880
Speaker 1: recover it. Something like that. Sorry, there you go. We

1659
01:31:46,040 --> 01:31:51,519
Speaker 1: mentioned already Brown's Raiders five pm ahead of the Monday

1660
01:31:51,640 --> 01:31:55,280
Speaker 1: night game, and we know that the Browns have a

1661
01:31:55,400 --> 01:31:59,240
Speaker 1: number of players out, nine starters among them, although they

1662
01:31:59,240 --> 01:32:03,960
Speaker 1: did get starting safety John Johnson out of COVID most

1663
01:32:04,000 --> 01:32:09,080
Speaker 1: notable calls. Baker Mayfield's out, as is his backup case

1664
01:32:09,200 --> 01:32:13,240
Speaker 1: keenum Um. So they're going on Nick Mullins tonight at

1665
01:32:13,320 --> 01:32:17,120
Speaker 1: quarterbacking better by delaying it for three days. But the Raiders,

1666
01:32:17,120 --> 01:32:20,720
Speaker 1: who were vehemently complaining that the game got moved, they

1667
01:32:20,760 --> 01:32:22,479
Speaker 1: have now lost a player that they had to put

1668
01:32:22,479 --> 01:32:25,480
Speaker 1: on the COVID reserve list. The Raiders have put cornerback

1669
01:32:25,600 --> 01:32:28,519
Speaker 1: Nate Hops on COVID reserves, so they will not have

1670
01:32:28,520 --> 01:32:31,960
Speaker 1: one of their better cover players for the game tonight.

1671
01:32:32,280 --> 01:32:36,360
Speaker 1: It's one starter versus about nine for the Browns. So

1672
01:32:36,520 --> 01:32:39,720
Speaker 1: crimea River Raiders you know, right, but they've got they've

1673
01:32:39,720 --> 01:32:43,280
Speaker 1: gotta beef. I mean, yeah, but they're over there. If

1674
01:32:43,280 --> 01:32:47,120
Speaker 1: you can't blame the Browns necessarily for not having their

1675
01:32:47,160 --> 01:32:50,120
Speaker 1: act together because they have all of these positive cases,

1676
01:32:50,680 --> 01:32:55,000
Speaker 1: could it be irresponsible behavior, yes, but we're also dealing

1677
01:32:55,000 --> 01:32:58,479
Speaker 1: with the most transmissible variant that is out there, and

1678
01:32:58,560 --> 01:33:01,160
Speaker 1: as we've seen, they're not the only only team. I mean,

1679
01:33:01,200 --> 01:33:04,400
Speaker 1: this variant has been so transmissible it forced the league

1680
01:33:04,760 --> 01:33:10,679
Speaker 1: to completely revamp their protocols, designations, and testing. Right, it's

1681
01:33:10,680 --> 01:33:14,200
Speaker 1: a mess. So, you know, for the Raiders to say, wow,

1682
01:33:14,680 --> 01:33:17,040
Speaker 1: you know, the Browns just don't have their act together,

1683
01:33:17,320 --> 01:33:19,320
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'd be talking Raiders because if

1684
01:33:19,320 --> 01:33:21,880
Speaker 1: I recall last year, there was a whole slew of

1685
01:33:21,920 --> 01:33:25,280
Speaker 1: you at a charity event indoors with no masks on.

1686
01:33:25,400 --> 01:33:30,000
Speaker 1: Do we remember this? We do now? Yeah? And by

1687
01:33:30,040 --> 01:33:34,400
Speaker 1: the way, it's not smart in the current climate if

1688
01:33:34,439 --> 01:33:36,479
Speaker 1: you're a sports team saying, you know, you guys are

1689
01:33:36,520 --> 01:33:40,040
Speaker 1: idiots forgetting it because tomorrow you might have nineteen guys. Yeah,

1690
01:33:40,040 --> 01:33:41,400
Speaker 1: you might be the next team. You might be the

1691
01:33:41,479 --> 01:33:43,519
Speaker 1: next team. Because that's how fast it spreads. I mean,

1692
01:33:43,560 --> 01:33:47,120
Speaker 1: this thing, this thing is like shaking hands. Yeah, I

1693
01:33:47,120 --> 01:33:49,800
Speaker 1: mean it's it's crazy how virulent it is and how

1694
01:33:49,840 --> 01:33:52,400
Speaker 1: contagious it is. So you know, you just gotta wait

1695
01:33:52,439 --> 01:33:54,840
Speaker 1: your turn get it. Hope you get out of it

1696
01:33:54,920 --> 01:33:58,479
Speaker 1: quick and move on. Yeah, because you're gonna get it,

1697
01:33:59,320 --> 01:34:04,000
Speaker 1: well you hope not. But the likelihood seems to be

1698
01:34:04,760 --> 01:34:09,920
Speaker 1: pretty high, and the odds are probably not in your

1699
01:34:09,960 --> 01:34:13,519
Speaker 1: favor the way it's going right, odds in your favorite, well,

1700
01:34:13,720 --> 01:34:16,519
Speaker 1: they may not be. We have to take a break here.

1701
01:34:16,880 --> 01:34:19,680
Speaker 1: When we come back, it is time for us to

1702
01:34:19,720 --> 01:34:22,479
Speaker 1: be joined by one. Eric Wood called the game with

1703
01:34:22,560 --> 01:34:25,240
Speaker 1: John Murphy on the radio side yesterday. We'll get his

1704
01:34:25,320 --> 01:34:28,040
Speaker 1: thoughts on the victory next here on one Bill's Live

1705
01:34:28,080 --> 01:34:49,439
Speaker 1: presented Body collid to health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio at

1706
01:34:49,479 --> 01:34:52,960
Speaker 1: a Steve Tasker who has been all over her fields.

1707
01:34:53,080 --> 01:34:54,639
Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

1708
01:34:54,720 --> 01:35:01,200
Speaker 1: players for Steve, Steve a blimp. We're not even in

1709
01:35:01,280 --> 01:35:07,200
Speaker 1: the stratgyere of normalcy. All right. Here we are an

1710
01:35:07,200 --> 01:35:10,920
Speaker 1: hour number three in a Buffalo victory. Monday means it's

1711
01:35:10,960 --> 01:35:14,160
Speaker 1: time to check in with our good friend and radio

1712
01:35:14,360 --> 01:35:17,679
Speaker 1: color analyst for the Buffalo Bills. It just won. Eric

1713
01:35:17,720 --> 01:35:21,200
Speaker 1: Wood joining us on the line here, Eric Gould, to

1714
01:35:21,240 --> 01:35:24,479
Speaker 1: have you with us as always on Mondays, and we

1715
01:35:25,040 --> 01:35:31,360
Speaker 1: should probably begin with a pregame photo of sorts that

1716
01:35:31,400 --> 01:35:34,200
Speaker 1: we saw on one Stevie Johnson's Twitter handle a little

1717
01:35:34,240 --> 01:35:38,080
Speaker 1: earlier today. This has apparently taken pre game. No word

1718
01:35:38,120 --> 01:35:41,920
Speaker 1: on whether this happened prior to or after Zane Gonzalez's

1719
01:35:42,000 --> 01:35:45,360
Speaker 1: tragic pregame warm up injury. But it's on the same

1720
01:35:45,439 --> 01:35:47,599
Speaker 1: end of the field, so I was looking for him

1721
01:35:47,600 --> 01:35:50,800
Speaker 1: in the background, did not see him. Someone surmised that

1722
01:35:50,880 --> 01:35:54,680
Speaker 1: you were dropping back to play quarterback on this fictitious

1723
01:35:55,160 --> 01:35:58,000
Speaker 1: pre snap play, but you're getting in a pass set here,

1724
01:35:58,080 --> 01:36:03,360
Speaker 1: right y. My shoulders wore out, my elbows terrible from

1725
01:36:03,360 --> 01:36:05,320
Speaker 1: playing too much golf in Florida last week, so I

1726
01:36:05,439 --> 01:36:08,519
Speaker 1: chose to block on the play and uh, maybe Scott

1727
01:36:08,600 --> 01:36:10,479
Speaker 1: Chandler or someone else that was in town for the

1728
01:36:10,479 --> 01:36:14,000
Speaker 1: game could could throw Stevie the rock. That was strictly

1729
01:36:14,040 --> 01:36:17,639
Speaker 1: Stevie's idea. He's a trip. I mean, I guess I'm

1730
01:36:17,640 --> 01:36:19,479
Speaker 1: a little boring. I was like, well, let's take a picture.

1731
01:36:19,520 --> 01:36:21,800
Speaker 1: He's like, all right, cool, you go getting your stands.

1732
01:36:21,840 --> 01:36:24,479
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, I'm not getting in my stands because

1733
01:36:24,520 --> 01:36:26,360
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not putting my hand in the ground.

1734
01:36:26,760 --> 01:36:29,120
Speaker 1: And uh so, yeah, we had some fun with that.

1735
01:36:29,640 --> 01:36:33,120
Speaker 1: And to your point about Zane Gonzalez, I was down

1736
01:36:33,120 --> 01:36:36,680
Speaker 1: on the field pregame standing along the Bill's sideline, and

1737
01:36:36,840 --> 01:36:39,519
Speaker 1: I could hear him, you know, out there in pain,

1738
01:36:40,160 --> 01:36:42,960
Speaker 1: and so I looked out and man, he was in

1739
01:36:43,040 --> 01:36:46,719
Speaker 1: a ton of pain. But no one really knew what happened.

1740
01:36:47,080 --> 01:36:48,840
Speaker 1: You know, we didn't see it from the sideline. We

1741
01:36:48,840 --> 01:36:50,559
Speaker 1: were all kind of in conversation. I think I was

1742
01:36:50,560 --> 01:36:54,240
Speaker 1: talking with Dan Morgan at the time, former assistant GM

1743
01:36:54,280 --> 01:36:57,559
Speaker 1: for the Bills. We got footage of it here, Carolina Panthers. Okay,

1744
01:36:57,560 --> 01:36:59,760
Speaker 1: here we go. Let's watch this footage. So it looks

1745
01:36:59,800 --> 01:37:03,240
Speaker 1: like hamstring um because he kicks it there and then

1746
01:37:03,240 --> 01:37:05,960
Speaker 1: he grabs his leg and then he falls down. And

1747
01:37:06,080 --> 01:37:10,400
Speaker 1: you're not screaming like that unless you've torn it, right, Steve, Yeah,

1748
01:37:09,680 --> 01:37:17,519
Speaker 1: happen eat. Hasn't he been kicking for like twenty five minutes? Right? Yeah? Exactly.

1749
01:37:17,560 --> 01:37:20,040
Speaker 1: It'd be one thing if it was his first kick

1750
01:37:20,080 --> 01:37:23,000
Speaker 1: and it's cold and your muscles aren't loosened. I don't

1751
01:37:23,000 --> 01:37:26,439
Speaker 1: know what happened there. But I'm not. And I'm also

1752
01:37:26,520 --> 01:37:28,960
Speaker 1: not sure. I've heard conflicting reports whether it was a

1753
01:37:29,040 --> 01:37:31,280
Speaker 1: quad or hamstring. Maybe you guys have that information at

1754
01:37:31,320 --> 01:37:33,960
Speaker 1: this time. But I heard he tore it off the bone,

1755
01:37:34,360 --> 01:37:37,120
Speaker 1: which would be a really significant That's the only reason

1756
01:37:37,160 --> 01:37:40,040
Speaker 1: you're screaming like that, right, like I've pulled my hamstring.

1757
01:37:40,120 --> 01:37:42,559
Speaker 1: He grabs his leg. Well, I don't know. It looked

1758
01:37:42,560 --> 01:37:44,400
Speaker 1: like he grabbed the back of his leg, but yeah,

1759
01:37:44,439 --> 01:37:49,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, that's you know, Andrea, I mean,

1760
01:37:49,240 --> 01:37:51,439
Speaker 1: what happens. I mean, don't you have to be in

1761
01:37:51,520 --> 01:37:54,320
Speaker 1: condition enough? I mean, good grief, the guy's got to

1762
01:37:54,320 --> 01:37:57,439
Speaker 1: be kicking every day, doesn't he. And then that happened.

1763
01:37:57,439 --> 01:38:01,360
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the strangest thing ever, It truly is.

1764
01:38:01,520 --> 01:38:05,600
Speaker 1: And it affected the game. I mean, every time Carolina

1765
01:38:05,680 --> 01:38:08,519
Speaker 1: crossed the fifty yard line, me and mrs started talking, Well,

1766
01:38:08,520 --> 01:38:10,639
Speaker 1: now you have four down territory, so now it's third

1767
01:38:10,680 --> 01:38:13,280
Speaker 1: and five and normally you're trying to throw the ball

1768
01:38:13,320 --> 01:38:15,640
Speaker 1: past the sticks. Well, now do they just run it

1769
01:38:15,680 --> 01:38:18,040
Speaker 1: twice and trying to get you know, three yards to

1770
01:38:18,080 --> 01:38:20,479
Speaker 1: carry and get the first down. It affected them throughout

1771
01:38:20,479 --> 01:38:22,960
Speaker 1: the game and then actually their first two kickoffs of

1772
01:38:23,000 --> 01:38:26,400
Speaker 1: the game worked out pretty good with Zilstra kicking off

1773
01:38:26,600 --> 01:38:28,400
Speaker 1: and those worked out pretty good as they skipped it

1774
01:38:28,400 --> 01:38:30,679
Speaker 1: down the field and then the third one, Isaiah McKenzie

1775
01:38:30,680 --> 01:38:33,519
Speaker 1: was able to return it out near midfield. But yeah,

1776
01:38:33,720 --> 01:38:37,080
Speaker 1: it affected the game, and you know, they were panicking

1777
01:38:37,160 --> 01:38:39,240
Speaker 1: pregame trying to figure out who is going to be

1778
01:38:39,320 --> 01:38:43,639
Speaker 1: kicking off, who's going to be kicking pats and field goals,

1779
01:38:44,000 --> 01:38:48,080
Speaker 1: and I mean, that's that's a shame. Yeah. So, yeah,

1780
01:38:48,200 --> 01:38:51,320
Speaker 1: the Bill's fourth down defense wise on the season going

1781
01:38:51,320 --> 01:38:54,880
Speaker 1: into the game, they've given up nine conversions on twenty

1782
01:38:54,920 --> 01:38:59,519
Speaker 1: two opportunities. The Panthers were fifty three percent conversion, so

1783
01:38:59,560 --> 01:39:02,240
Speaker 1: even a little better than that on the season, eleven

1784
01:39:02,280 --> 01:39:04,800
Speaker 1: for twenty one and the Bills d holds him to

1785
01:39:05,560 --> 01:39:09,719
Speaker 1: one for five on conversions, which was pretty critical because

1786
01:39:09,720 --> 01:39:11,280
Speaker 1: there were two times they were down there at the

1787
01:39:11,280 --> 01:39:16,679
Speaker 1: twenty four yard line. Yeah, you're exactly right. They stepped

1788
01:39:16,760 --> 01:39:18,840
Speaker 1: up when they needed to. We just got to see

1789
01:39:18,840 --> 01:39:21,240
Speaker 1: a replay on the screen for those watching at home

1790
01:39:21,280 --> 01:39:23,800
Speaker 1: as well of the bubble screen. I'm not sure why

1791
01:39:23,840 --> 01:39:25,920
Speaker 1: they threw that one on fourth and two that that

1792
01:39:26,040 --> 01:39:30,000
Speaker 1: was not their best call, but the Bill's defense was

1793
01:39:30,040 --> 01:39:33,200
Speaker 1: able to hold strong. It was amazing how often yesterday

1794
01:39:33,200 --> 01:39:34,800
Speaker 1: and I assumed that they would, but they have a

1795
01:39:34,800 --> 01:39:37,560
Speaker 1: ton of this Bill's staff has a ton of familiarity

1796
01:39:37,560 --> 01:39:40,360
Speaker 1: with Cam Newton and how often they pressured him throughout

1797
01:39:40,360 --> 01:39:42,559
Speaker 1: the game. There were times that the Bills just brought

1798
01:39:42,560 --> 01:39:44,679
Speaker 1: a four man rush, and although the Bills had four

1799
01:39:44,720 --> 01:39:47,320
Speaker 1: sacks in the game, I was still pretty underwhelmed with

1800
01:39:47,360 --> 01:39:52,559
Speaker 1: their pass rush against this Pather's offensive line. But Leslie

1801
01:39:52,560 --> 01:39:55,040
Speaker 1: Fraser and Sean McDermott started lightening them up with the

1802
01:39:55,080 --> 01:39:57,720
Speaker 1: blitz is early in the game, and anytime that that

1803
01:39:57,800 --> 01:40:00,960
Speaker 1: happens early, you can assume that it's going to continue

1804
01:40:00,960 --> 01:40:02,920
Speaker 1: throughout the rest of the game. That that's something that

1805
01:40:02,960 --> 01:40:06,320
Speaker 1: they identified on film, whether it be from a protection

1806
01:40:06,360 --> 01:40:09,120
Speaker 1: standpoint or a quarterback standpoint, that they were going to

1807
01:40:09,200 --> 01:40:12,120
Speaker 1: try to attack. And they sure did it yesterday. And

1808
01:40:12,160 --> 01:40:14,760
Speaker 1: with the lack of a four man rush throughout the

1809
01:40:14,800 --> 01:40:17,920
Speaker 1: rest of the year through the playoffs, I think you

1810
01:40:17,960 --> 01:40:20,320
Speaker 1: gotta bring multiple rushers. You gotta get creative with your

1811
01:40:20,320 --> 01:40:23,160
Speaker 1: pass rusher if you're the Buffalo Bills defensively, because I

1812
01:40:23,200 --> 01:40:25,679
Speaker 1: don't know that you got four guys that are built

1813
01:40:25,680 --> 01:40:28,240
Speaker 1: to just truly rush the passer. It may involve more

1814
01:40:28,360 --> 01:40:30,840
Speaker 1: line games and stunts with those guys up front. The

1815
01:40:30,880 --> 01:40:33,240
Speaker 1: second half of the Tampa Bay game, Matt Milano is

1816
01:40:33,280 --> 01:40:36,120
Speaker 1: extremely effective rushing the passer, But there's got to be

1817
01:40:37,240 --> 01:40:41,000
Speaker 1: some changeups as far as rushing the passer on obvious

1818
01:40:41,000 --> 01:40:43,719
Speaker 1: pass downs. Yeah, And I think it's a delicate balance

1819
01:40:43,760 --> 01:40:47,519
Speaker 1: because without Tredavious White in the back end, how much

1820
01:40:47,560 --> 01:40:49,200
Speaker 1: can you depend on those guys? Do you know the

1821
01:40:49,240 --> 01:40:52,559
Speaker 1: man up and get there and trust that the pressure

1822
01:40:52,640 --> 01:40:55,320
Speaker 1: is gonna get there. How overall, how did you think

1823
01:40:55,320 --> 01:40:58,880
Speaker 1: the defense played? Yes, say Cam Newton, you saw it

1824
01:40:58,960 --> 01:41:02,120
Speaker 1: like we did. He really struggles to throw the football

1825
01:41:02,160 --> 01:41:06,240
Speaker 1: with any distance. He can't push the ball down the

1826
01:41:06,280 --> 01:41:09,439
Speaker 1: football field. I think it really helped our defensive backfield obviously,

1827
01:41:09,760 --> 01:41:11,680
Speaker 1: and the pass rush as well. But what do you

1828
01:41:11,720 --> 01:41:15,400
Speaker 1: think about the secondary yesterday? Yeah? I thought the secondary

1829
01:41:15,560 --> 01:41:17,960
Speaker 1: is great. And they got two really good receivers on

1830
01:41:18,000 --> 01:41:22,000
Speaker 1: the outside and Robbie Anderson and more on the outside,

1831
01:41:22,080 --> 01:41:25,120
Speaker 1: so they do have two great receivers. Yes, the quarterback

1832
01:41:25,120 --> 01:41:27,519
Speaker 1: play was not great for the Panthers. I expected that

1833
01:41:27,520 --> 01:41:29,280
Speaker 1: we'd see p J. Walker at some point in the

1834
01:41:29,280 --> 01:41:31,559
Speaker 1: game yesterday because he played in the last two games,

1835
01:41:31,840 --> 01:41:34,479
Speaker 1: but they left Cam Newton in for the entirety of

1836
01:41:34,520 --> 01:41:36,360
Speaker 1: that game yesterday. But I thought the defense as a

1837
01:41:36,400 --> 01:41:39,160
Speaker 1: whole played well. I thought the defensive secondary played well.

1838
01:41:39,200 --> 01:41:41,479
Speaker 1: And to your point, one more thing about the blitz

1839
01:41:41,560 --> 01:41:44,680
Speaker 1: is Steve, it's that give and take. But if you

1840
01:41:44,720 --> 01:41:48,000
Speaker 1: know you could have all you could drop seven guys

1841
01:41:48,040 --> 01:41:51,439
Speaker 1: into into coverage. But if no one's getting home, that's

1842
01:41:51,520 --> 01:41:54,800
Speaker 1: not a defensive that's not a friendly defensive scheme for

1843
01:41:54,840 --> 01:41:57,879
Speaker 1: a defensive backfield either. You know, if I'm a corner,

1844
01:41:58,080 --> 01:42:00,280
Speaker 1: and maybe this is a question better asked to Dane

1845
01:42:00,360 --> 01:42:05,200
Speaker 1: Jackson or Levi Wallace, you're outside corners, but at times,

1846
01:42:05,439 --> 01:42:07,559
Speaker 1: you know, it seems like those guys are more comfortable

1847
01:42:07,600 --> 01:42:11,320
Speaker 1: when they just bring pressure. They know that based upon

1848
01:42:11,360 --> 01:42:14,639
Speaker 1: the amount of rushers they're bringing, there's only so many

1849
01:42:14,720 --> 01:42:17,960
Speaker 1: routes you can truly run based upon that timing. If

1850
01:42:17,960 --> 01:42:20,200
Speaker 1: I was a dB, that's what I would be thinking, right.

1851
01:42:20,560 --> 01:42:24,560
Speaker 1: Speaking of offensive line play, you mentioned the Carolina Panthers.

1852
01:42:24,600 --> 01:42:26,960
Speaker 1: The Bills had some shuffling of the deck to do,

1853
01:42:27,040 --> 01:42:30,519
Speaker 1: once again, something they've seemingly done more than noted through

1854
01:42:30,560 --> 01:42:33,120
Speaker 1: the course of this season due to injury and player

1855
01:42:33,120 --> 01:42:37,200
Speaker 1: availability due to COVID designations, and that was the case

1856
01:42:37,280 --> 01:42:39,960
Speaker 1: again on Sunday. We already knew they were going to

1857
01:42:40,040 --> 01:42:44,360
Speaker 1: have to change to some degree, and then they had

1858
01:42:44,360 --> 01:42:47,360
Speaker 1: to change even more presumably after Feliciano goes on the

1859
01:42:47,400 --> 01:42:50,960
Speaker 1: COVID reserve list two days after Dion Dawkins did so.

1860
01:42:51,479 --> 01:42:55,840
Speaker 1: I think most of us we're guessing that Spencer Brown

1861
01:42:55,840 --> 01:42:58,439
Speaker 1: would move over to left tackle and Darryl Williams would

1862
01:42:58,520 --> 01:43:00,599
Speaker 1: kick out to the right side. But then Ford had

1863
01:43:00,640 --> 01:43:03,439
Speaker 1: to become part of the equation two going into guard,

1864
01:43:03,439 --> 01:43:05,800
Speaker 1: where I think many of us thought Feliciano would go.

1865
01:43:06,120 --> 01:43:10,519
Speaker 1: Spencer Brown's play has been the most popular topic on

1866
01:43:10,560 --> 01:43:13,600
Speaker 1: the offensive line from yesterday's game, due in part to

1867
01:43:13,640 --> 01:43:17,720
Speaker 1: the holding penalties and then the taunting penalty. You know,

1868
01:43:17,800 --> 01:43:20,760
Speaker 1: he said after the game, maya culpa, but maybe just

1869
01:43:20,840 --> 01:43:25,160
Speaker 1: talk about the biggest challenge when you have to literally

1870
01:43:25,280 --> 01:43:28,439
Speaker 1: reverse your motor skills going over from one side of

1871
01:43:28,439 --> 01:43:31,880
Speaker 1: the line to the other. Eric. You know, I'll say

1872
01:43:31,920 --> 01:43:34,120
Speaker 1: a couple of things on that one. He was cross

1873
01:43:34,160 --> 01:43:37,160
Speaker 1: trained in the preseason, so that does help in this situation.

1874
01:43:37,200 --> 01:43:39,400
Speaker 1: You have some confidence moving him over there. He started

1875
01:43:39,400 --> 01:43:41,960
Speaker 1: the first preseason game at left tackle, so it's not

1876
01:43:42,080 --> 01:43:44,240
Speaker 1: complete four and ground to him. I'd have a lot

1877
01:43:44,280 --> 01:43:46,720
Speaker 1: more confidence moving him over to the left than let's

1878
01:43:46,720 --> 01:43:50,400
Speaker 1: say Daryl Williams, who's played either right guard or right tackle.

1879
01:43:50,800 --> 01:43:53,040
Speaker 1: And for the fans out there that think it's an

1880
01:43:53,040 --> 01:43:55,599
Speaker 1: easy deal, I may never be able to win this

1881
01:43:55,680 --> 01:43:58,000
Speaker 1: argument for you, But for a center, it'd be fairly

1882
01:43:58,040 --> 01:44:00,559
Speaker 1: easy for me to play right or left guard. Now

1883
01:44:00,680 --> 01:44:02,719
Speaker 1: left guard, i'd have to put my left hand down,

1884
01:44:02,960 --> 01:44:05,280
Speaker 1: which is different from my snaphand, which I'm over the

1885
01:44:05,280 --> 01:44:08,439
Speaker 1: football with my right hand, but I pass set in

1886
01:44:08,479 --> 01:44:11,280
Speaker 1: both directions. I'm moving in both directions. I'm used to

1887
01:44:11,320 --> 01:44:14,120
Speaker 1: playing out of a balance stance. When you're used to,

1888
01:44:15,040 --> 01:44:16,719
Speaker 1: I mean, how many reps are we get in practice.

1889
01:44:16,720 --> 01:44:18,280
Speaker 1: I mean you're probably coming in out of your stance

1890
01:44:18,320 --> 01:44:21,880
Speaker 1: one hundred times of practice, seventy times on game day.

1891
01:44:21,920 --> 01:44:25,120
Speaker 1: It's always the same kind of load on your legs

1892
01:44:25,120 --> 01:44:27,559
Speaker 1: and everything else. That's a lot of muscle memory to

1893
01:44:27,680 --> 01:44:30,360
Speaker 1: have to reverse. I'm sure so many people out there

1894
01:44:30,400 --> 01:44:35,320
Speaker 1: have have jobs where you have muscle memory built into

1895
01:44:35,320 --> 01:44:37,280
Speaker 1: what you do, and it'd be like telling you to

1896
01:44:37,320 --> 01:44:39,439
Speaker 1: do that with your left hand it'd be like telling

1897
01:44:39,439 --> 01:44:41,200
Speaker 1: you when you use the restroom next to wipe with

1898
01:44:41,240 --> 01:44:44,160
Speaker 1: your left hand if you're right handed, it's it's just goofy,

1899
01:44:44,160 --> 01:44:46,840
Speaker 1: And it seems like it shouldn't be, but it is.

1900
01:44:47,120 --> 01:44:49,559
Speaker 1: And so I think the two things that put Spencer

1901
01:44:49,560 --> 01:44:53,840
Speaker 1: Brown in a tough position here is that on Friday,

1902
01:44:54,240 --> 01:44:56,719
Speaker 1: you've now prepped the entire week. When he learns about

1903
01:44:56,720 --> 01:44:59,160
Speaker 1: Dion Dawkins, he's prepped the entire week to play on

1904
01:44:59,160 --> 01:45:01,080
Speaker 1: the right side, and he was going to be going

1905
01:45:01,120 --> 01:45:03,759
Speaker 1: against their pass rushers on that side of the field,

1906
01:45:03,880 --> 01:45:06,720
Speaker 1: whether it be Riddick or Burns, they're primarily going to

1907
01:45:06,800 --> 01:45:09,040
Speaker 1: be on one side or the other. Well, then that

1908
01:45:09,160 --> 01:45:10,840
Speaker 1: late in the week he's got to flip over to

1909
01:45:10,840 --> 01:45:13,960
Speaker 1: the other side. That becomes difficult to prepare for in

1910
01:45:14,160 --> 01:45:16,679
Speaker 1: a day and a half, maybe two days. I thought

1911
01:45:16,680 --> 01:45:19,080
Speaker 1: it was interesting when Sean McDermott said after the game

1912
01:45:19,080 --> 01:45:21,080
Speaker 1: that they didn't learn until nine am the morning of

1913
01:45:21,160 --> 01:45:24,280
Speaker 1: the game about John Feliciano. And I know you don't

1914
01:45:24,280 --> 01:45:26,320
Speaker 1: want to wake these guys up too early, but that's

1915
01:45:26,800 --> 01:45:29,599
Speaker 1: that's generally when you would eat your pregame meal, So

1916
01:45:30,080 --> 01:45:32,920
Speaker 1: four hours before the game, you would generally eat your

1917
01:45:32,960 --> 01:45:36,639
Speaker 1: pregame meal. That's what the health and science, the health

1918
01:45:36,680 --> 01:45:40,240
Speaker 1: and wellness experts would say that that's the ideal time

1919
01:45:40,280 --> 01:45:43,200
Speaker 1: to eat your big meal before the game. Well, I'm

1920
01:45:43,240 --> 01:45:46,840
Speaker 1: just thinking personally, if there was any type of risk,

1921
01:45:46,920 --> 01:45:48,960
Speaker 1: I wouldn't want those guys doing it as early as

1922
01:45:49,040 --> 01:45:51,240
Speaker 1: possible and just assume that they'd get it done a

1923
01:45:51,280 --> 01:45:53,880
Speaker 1: little before then. But maybe it's not a media test.

1924
01:45:53,920 --> 01:45:56,599
Speaker 1: I haven't been a part of this NFL protocol within

1925
01:45:56,800 --> 01:46:00,879
Speaker 1: that Tier one system of the level of the facility.

1926
01:46:01,200 --> 01:46:06,000
Speaker 1: All that being said, I thought at times, especially in

1927
01:46:06,040 --> 01:46:09,160
Speaker 1: the run game, especially Cody Ford, who did not even

1928
01:46:09,200 --> 01:46:12,679
Speaker 1: expect to start until Sunday, I thought him and Daryl

1929
01:46:12,680 --> 01:46:15,200
Speaker 1: Williams there were some obvious holes on the right side

1930
01:46:15,200 --> 01:46:18,040
Speaker 1: of the line on cutback play. Sometimes it's hard to

1931
01:46:18,040 --> 01:46:21,799
Speaker 1: tell who's the credit on the offensive line for allowing

1932
01:46:21,840 --> 01:46:23,880
Speaker 1: that play to spring. When you hand the ball off

1933
01:46:23,880 --> 01:46:27,679
Speaker 1: to Devin Singletary with the same side handoff and Josh

1934
01:46:27,760 --> 01:46:29,760
Speaker 1: is under center and he burst right through the b

1935
01:46:29,960 --> 01:46:32,200
Speaker 1: gap between the garden and tackle. Those guys are doing

1936
01:46:32,240 --> 01:46:35,200
Speaker 1: their job, period, and I felt like that was the

1937
01:46:35,280 --> 01:46:37,160
Speaker 1: area of the field that they were able to run

1938
01:46:37,200 --> 01:46:40,439
Speaker 1: the ball. The best. So everybody's been so critical of

1939
01:46:40,520 --> 01:46:45,240
Speaker 1: Cody Ford, myself included. Now I'll say yesterday, kudos to

1940
01:46:45,320 --> 01:46:48,559
Speaker 1: him for stepping up and run blocking really well when

1941
01:46:48,560 --> 01:46:50,920
Speaker 1: he didn't even expect to start. Now, Spencer Brown, he

1942
01:46:51,000 --> 01:46:53,000
Speaker 1: got taken to school, and you know what, he's a rookie.

1943
01:46:53,040 --> 01:46:55,200
Speaker 1: You're gonna take some lumps as a rookie. You know,

1944
01:46:55,240 --> 01:46:58,679
Speaker 1: the holding calls a little questionable, but that's what happens

1945
01:46:58,680 --> 01:47:01,599
Speaker 1: in this league. And then the taunting deal at the end,

1946
01:47:01,840 --> 01:47:05,080
Speaker 1: I'm sure we won't see it again now, maybe not

1947
01:47:05,240 --> 01:47:08,200
Speaker 1: until this year. That would never have been called. You know,

1948
01:47:08,240 --> 01:47:10,759
Speaker 1: they kind of let those things slide until this season.

1949
01:47:11,080 --> 01:47:13,960
Speaker 1: And Spencer Brown always does the you know, kind of

1950
01:47:14,040 --> 01:47:16,200
Speaker 1: double hopping point for the first down when he thinks

1951
01:47:16,200 --> 01:47:18,160
Speaker 1: he got the guy in front of him to jump offsides.

1952
01:47:18,520 --> 01:47:21,240
Speaker 1: But you know what, a young guy likes Spencer Brown

1953
01:47:21,320 --> 01:47:23,600
Speaker 1: who plays with a ton of emotion and finish his

1954
01:47:23,720 --> 01:47:25,719
Speaker 1: plays just like we got to see for those watching

1955
01:47:25,760 --> 01:47:28,439
Speaker 1: at home, and he's picking guys off the pile. You

1956
01:47:28,479 --> 01:47:30,479
Speaker 1: know what, if a guy like that's gonna have some fun,

1957
01:47:30,880 --> 01:47:33,360
Speaker 1: I'll take a kid like that on my team ten

1958
01:47:33,439 --> 01:47:36,799
Speaker 1: times out of ten. And fortunately they were up twenty

1959
01:47:36,800 --> 01:47:39,200
Speaker 1: eight or twenty four to eight at the time when

1960
01:47:39,240 --> 01:47:40,800
Speaker 1: they got flagged four. It, Yeah, he got a little

1961
01:47:40,800 --> 01:47:43,200
Speaker 1: something extra from the dB that he laid out, you know,

1962
01:47:43,240 --> 01:47:45,720
Speaker 1: and he gave it back to him verbally, and it's

1963
01:47:45,760 --> 01:47:48,960
Speaker 1: right in front of the officials. So certainly not even

1964
01:47:49,040 --> 01:47:51,639
Speaker 1: the most strongest taunting penelt, even on the weak ones

1965
01:47:51,680 --> 01:47:53,559
Speaker 1: we've seen. But yeah, I get you he was having

1966
01:47:53,600 --> 01:47:56,120
Speaker 1: a rough day. It probably felt good to him to

1967
01:47:56,160 --> 01:47:59,040
Speaker 1: have something good happen to him for a change. The

1968
01:47:59,080 --> 01:48:04,519
Speaker 1: offensive line continues to be an issue. They can't get

1969
01:48:04,560 --> 01:48:08,599
Speaker 1: any continuity upfront because they have different guys playing every week.

1970
01:48:09,880 --> 01:48:12,600
Speaker 1: How you know, how tough is it gonna be for

1971
01:48:12,680 --> 01:48:17,360
Speaker 1: this team to move forward with what maybe even a

1972
01:48:17,400 --> 01:48:21,360
Speaker 1: new offensive line this coming week against the New England Patriots. Well,

1973
01:48:21,400 --> 01:48:23,800
Speaker 1: they're hoping it's a new offensive line for the Patriots

1974
01:48:23,840 --> 01:48:26,160
Speaker 1: because then that would mean they're getting some guys back.

1975
01:48:26,200 --> 01:48:30,559
Speaker 1: And you know, for me, if you've now got a

1976
01:48:30,560 --> 01:48:33,360
Speaker 1: lot of guys with experience, that's the one good thing

1977
01:48:33,479 --> 01:48:35,000
Speaker 1: is that you've got a lot of guys that have

1978
01:48:35,040 --> 01:48:38,240
Speaker 1: started games this year and they've gotten used to mixing

1979
01:48:38,320 --> 01:48:40,760
Speaker 1: up the lineup, which could remain a thing for the

1980
01:48:40,800 --> 01:48:42,920
Speaker 1: rest of the season. And when you consider that you

1981
01:48:42,960 --> 01:48:44,639
Speaker 1: had two guys come up with COVID in the old

1982
01:48:44,680 --> 01:48:49,559
Speaker 1: line room. I'm not sure, but just my gut tells

1983
01:48:49,600 --> 01:48:52,360
Speaker 1: me that that would be an obvious place that maybe

1984
01:48:52,360 --> 01:48:55,400
Speaker 1: you would have more cases down the road or maybe

1985
01:48:55,400 --> 01:48:58,040
Speaker 1: even in the short term, just because I would assume

1986
01:48:58,120 --> 01:49:02,120
Speaker 1: guys got exposed just based proximity. But maybe I could

1987
01:49:02,120 --> 01:49:05,400
Speaker 1: be wrong, but those guys at least have got experience

1988
01:49:05,520 --> 01:49:08,280
Speaker 1: kind of bouncing all over the place. Now we all know,

1989
01:49:08,360 --> 01:49:11,840
Speaker 1: and in the NFL so much has talked about year

1990
01:49:11,920 --> 01:49:13,920
Speaker 1: to year with continuity, how many guys you bring them back,

1991
01:49:13,960 --> 01:49:16,400
Speaker 1: how many games did the group start together, And at

1992
01:49:16,520 --> 01:49:19,479
Speaker 1: times maybe it's overplayed, But in the case of the

1993
01:49:19,520 --> 01:49:22,120
Speaker 1: Bills this year, when it's affected them each and every week,

1994
01:49:22,360 --> 01:49:24,840
Speaker 1: it seems like for the last ten eleven weeks and

1995
01:49:24,880 --> 01:49:27,040
Speaker 1: then early in the season there was some mix up

1996
01:49:27,080 --> 01:49:29,680
Speaker 1: based upon one to get Cody Ford out Bump and

1997
01:49:29,760 --> 01:49:33,080
Speaker 1: Daryl Williams. In all that being said, man, this group

1998
01:49:33,160 --> 01:49:37,880
Speaker 1: could really use a healthy stretch with their top five guys.

1999
01:49:37,880 --> 01:49:41,360
Speaker 1: However they identify it when Feliciano's fully back ready to roll,

2000
01:49:41,600 --> 01:49:44,439
Speaker 1: when Dion Dawkins is back in there. How do they

2001
01:49:44,520 --> 01:49:48,000
Speaker 1: identify what their strongest five guys are and then get

2002
01:49:48,080 --> 01:49:53,040
Speaker 1: those guys some continuity before a hopeful playoff run to

2003
01:49:53,160 --> 01:49:55,439
Speaker 1: where they can kind of become a strength again like

2004
01:49:55,479 --> 01:49:58,400
Speaker 1: they were for a majority of last season. Last one

2005
01:49:58,400 --> 01:50:02,000
Speaker 1: I've got for you, Eric is about Singletary and the

2006
01:50:02,120 --> 01:50:06,320
Speaker 1: playing time and work that he received yesterday. Knowing this

2007
01:50:06,439 --> 01:50:11,479
Speaker 1: is a fast flowing defense that they were playing in Carolina,

2008
01:50:12,200 --> 01:50:14,720
Speaker 1: I didn't know if Singletary would get the kind of

2009
01:50:14,760 --> 01:50:17,200
Speaker 1: work he did yesterday. I saw Brieda was up and

2010
01:50:17,240 --> 01:50:19,759
Speaker 1: I thought, well, maybe they try to match speed with speed,

2011
01:50:20,560 --> 01:50:24,599
Speaker 1: and they didn't. They went Singletary almost exclusively. Breeda had

2012
01:50:24,680 --> 01:50:27,439
Speaker 1: one carry yesterday and it was late in the game,

2013
01:50:27,720 --> 01:50:31,320
Speaker 1: and Zach Moss, as you know, was inactive. I realized

2014
01:50:31,360 --> 01:50:33,760
Speaker 1: that a lot of these plans change week to week.

2015
01:50:33,800 --> 01:50:37,960
Speaker 1: Their game plan oriented. But can we read anything into

2016
01:50:38,080 --> 01:50:41,920
Speaker 1: Singletary pretty much going wire to wire as the number

2017
01:50:41,960 --> 01:50:44,960
Speaker 1: one guy in the backfield. I think you have to

2018
01:50:44,960 --> 01:50:47,559
Speaker 1: read into it, especially when you consider how effective he

2019
01:50:47,640 --> 01:50:49,960
Speaker 1: was in the second half against the Buccaneers and then

2020
01:50:50,000 --> 01:50:53,360
Speaker 1: the amount of work they gave him yesterday, and especially

2021
01:50:53,439 --> 01:50:55,400
Speaker 1: late in the game. They were still giving him the

2022
01:50:55,400 --> 01:50:58,200
Speaker 1: work when they could have given that work to Matt Brida. Now,

2023
01:50:58,240 --> 01:51:00,320
Speaker 1: I understand, when you're trying to run the clock out

2024
01:51:00,360 --> 01:51:02,200
Speaker 1: at the end of the game, you want your more

2025
01:51:02,240 --> 01:51:05,640
Speaker 1: powerful rusher in Singletary has more power than Brita. But

2026
01:51:06,200 --> 01:51:09,320
Speaker 1: that being said, they could have given Brieda some touches.

2027
01:51:09,320 --> 01:51:11,240
Speaker 1: When they're up two scores in the second half with

2028
01:51:11,280 --> 01:51:14,320
Speaker 1: a quarterback on the other side, that's pretty much incapable

2029
01:51:14,520 --> 01:51:16,960
Speaker 1: of moving the ball down the field. So I think

2030
01:51:17,000 --> 01:51:20,960
Speaker 1: moving forward, they're identifying Singletary as their guy. He's going

2031
01:51:21,040 --> 01:51:25,479
Speaker 1: to be their running back number one, which hopefully will

2032
01:51:25,640 --> 01:51:28,240
Speaker 1: You know, we talk about the offensive line continuity, Well,

2033
01:51:28,240 --> 01:51:30,840
Speaker 1: maybe that gives some continuity to this offense that hey,

2034
01:51:31,120 --> 01:51:34,479
Speaker 1: let's build a game plan around what Devin Singletary does well.

2035
01:51:34,520 --> 01:51:37,719
Speaker 1: The runs that he runs well, which to me, he's

2036
01:51:37,800 --> 01:51:40,439
Speaker 1: pretty good with this inside zone. He's not a great

2037
01:51:40,479 --> 01:51:43,760
Speaker 1: outside zone runner, he's a good inside zone runner. And

2038
01:51:43,800 --> 01:51:47,240
Speaker 1: then in the pin and pool runs where you guys

2039
01:51:47,240 --> 01:51:49,120
Speaker 1: block down on the front side and you'll often see

2040
01:51:49,120 --> 01:51:51,840
Speaker 1: Mitch Morris, the guard or whoever may be pulling out there,

2041
01:51:52,520 --> 01:51:57,000
Speaker 1: he runs those to me really well because he's patient

2042
01:51:57,320 --> 01:52:00,519
Speaker 1: and he's patient enough to sit behind those pools, and

2043
01:52:00,560 --> 01:52:02,880
Speaker 1: so now you can script a game plan around what

2044
01:52:03,000 --> 01:52:05,839
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary does well. I also know that they're confident

2045
01:52:06,040 --> 01:52:08,000
Speaker 1: in his blocking ability. He may not be as good

2046
01:52:08,000 --> 01:52:10,960
Speaker 1: of a blocker as Zach Moss, he may not be

2047
01:52:11,000 --> 01:52:14,320
Speaker 1: as good of a receiver as Matt Breta, but he's

2048
01:52:14,360 --> 01:52:17,200
Speaker 1: a great combination. And just one more thing on the

2049
01:52:17,240 --> 01:52:20,720
Speaker 1: run game, I thought it was I don't want to

2050
01:52:20,760 --> 01:52:22,680
Speaker 1: go overboard, but I thought it was awesome how they

2051
01:52:22,760 --> 01:52:27,320
Speaker 1: used mackenzie in the wildcat yesterday, because if anything, it

2052
01:52:27,400 --> 01:52:32,719
Speaker 1: just gives teams another wrinkle to prepare for. But Isaiah

2053
01:52:32,800 --> 01:52:34,519
Speaker 1: McKenzie is a good runner with the ball in his hands.

2054
01:52:34,600 --> 01:52:37,120
Speaker 1: He's great with the ball in his hands. And if

2055
01:52:37,520 --> 01:52:39,120
Speaker 1: you don't want to line him up as a traditional

2056
01:52:39,160 --> 01:52:41,320
Speaker 1: running back, and the only other way you give it

2057
01:52:41,360 --> 01:52:42,720
Speaker 1: to him in a run game would be on the

2058
01:52:42,800 --> 01:52:45,600
Speaker 1: jet sweep shoot, let's direct snap it to it. And

2059
01:52:45,600 --> 01:52:47,960
Speaker 1: then I always say this about Brian day Ball. Anytime

2060
01:52:48,000 --> 01:52:51,080
Speaker 1: you see a one off with Brian day Ball, there's

2061
01:52:51,240 --> 01:52:55,240
Speaker 1: generally I shouldn't even say generally, there's always something back

2062
01:52:55,280 --> 01:52:57,719
Speaker 1: off of that. So I'm excited to see the Bills

2063
01:52:57,720 --> 01:53:00,519
Speaker 1: maybe play with the two score lead again later the season,

2064
01:53:00,880 --> 01:53:04,479
Speaker 1: and I would assume that there's some type of throw

2065
01:53:05,000 --> 01:53:08,240
Speaker 1: or maybe similar to the Robbie Anderson reverse that we

2066
01:53:08,240 --> 01:53:10,719
Speaker 1: saw yesterday when Cam Newton was running like a quarterback

2067
01:53:10,760 --> 01:53:13,320
Speaker 1: power and he flipped at the Robbie Anderson come around.

2068
01:53:13,560 --> 01:53:15,120
Speaker 1: You can mark my words. I'll bet you guys a

2069
01:53:15,160 --> 01:53:18,280
Speaker 1: coffee or a drink at Elios after the last game

2070
01:53:18,320 --> 01:53:22,280
Speaker 1: that we see a wrinkle off of that formation by

2071
01:53:22,320 --> 01:53:26,080
Speaker 1: the end of the year. Yeah, And obviously you're the

2072
01:53:26,200 --> 01:53:28,240
Speaker 1: fourth down and fourth and two play, Brownie, and we're

2073
01:53:28,240 --> 01:53:30,680
Speaker 1: talking about it. You know, there's really no reason to

2074
01:53:30,720 --> 01:53:34,000
Speaker 1: pull that play out to the Gabe Davis the fourth

2075
01:53:34,000 --> 01:53:36,000
Speaker 1: and two where Josh pulls it out and just lobs

2076
01:53:36,000 --> 01:53:37,880
Speaker 1: it over his wide open they totally it was an

2077
01:53:37,880 --> 01:53:41,120
Speaker 1: awareness play. They just weren't aware of it. He walks

2078
01:53:41,160 --> 01:53:45,080
Speaker 1: into the end zone. Might be a nice one to

2079
01:53:45,200 --> 01:53:47,479
Speaker 1: keep in the pocket rather than show it. But if

2080
01:53:47,479 --> 01:53:49,720
Speaker 1: you're gonna show it, there's got to be something else

2081
01:53:49,760 --> 01:53:51,360
Speaker 1: in there as well, right, And that just gives you

2082
01:53:51,600 --> 01:53:54,839
Speaker 1: that many more options. Yeah, that, and it just shows

2083
01:53:54,880 --> 01:53:57,559
Speaker 1: that any no matter if it's fourth and two late

2084
01:53:57,600 --> 01:54:01,680
Speaker 1: in the game, anytime you can't just pigeon hole this

2085
01:54:01,760 --> 01:54:03,920
Speaker 1: Bill's offense, and hey, we're gonna run the ball every

2086
01:54:03,920 --> 01:54:07,360
Speaker 1: single snap, and you know that that makes it a

2087
01:54:07,439 --> 01:54:11,120
Speaker 1: three score game too. I mean, yes, it wasn't you know,

2088
01:54:11,160 --> 01:54:13,160
Speaker 1: it is what it is. Maybe they didn't need it

2089
01:54:13,160 --> 01:54:14,920
Speaker 1: in the grand scheme of things, but it makes it

2090
01:54:14,960 --> 01:54:18,599
Speaker 1: does make it a three score game. And just knowing

2091
01:54:18,640 --> 01:54:20,920
Speaker 1: what the points bread was before the game, I'm sure

2092
01:54:20,960 --> 01:54:24,960
Speaker 1: there was a lot of betters upset or happy after

2093
01:54:25,000 --> 01:54:28,320
Speaker 1: that after the Bills through that one. Fair enough, Eric,

2094
01:54:28,439 --> 01:54:30,880
Speaker 1: thanks for the time. As always, we will catch up

2095
01:54:30,880 --> 01:54:32,720
Speaker 1: with you next week at this time when we're hopefully

2096
01:54:32,720 --> 01:54:38,200
Speaker 1: talking about another Bill's victory. Absolutely, have a merry Christmas, guys.

2097
01:54:38,320 --> 01:54:41,400
Speaker 1: Yeah you too, joy your holiday with your family. That's

2098
01:54:41,480 --> 01:54:44,160
Speaker 1: Eric Wood joining us here as he does every Monday

2099
01:54:44,200 --> 01:54:46,760
Speaker 1: after Bill's games to give us his thoughts. And that's

2100
01:54:46,760 --> 01:54:49,840
Speaker 1: why I wanted to ask him about, you know, singletary,

2101
01:54:50,000 --> 01:54:53,880
Speaker 1: because it's the most work one guy has gotten in

2102
01:54:53,920 --> 01:54:56,600
Speaker 1: the backfield all season. I mean, it's been a committee

2103
01:54:56,600 --> 01:55:00,000
Speaker 1: approach to a great degree for most of the games,

2104
01:55:00,080 --> 01:55:02,480
Speaker 1: and that's partly due to the fact that they lean

2105
01:55:02,560 --> 01:55:05,320
Speaker 1: on their passing game. There really haven't been too many

2106
01:55:05,320 --> 01:55:07,480
Speaker 1: instances this year where is you know what, let's just

2107
01:55:07,600 --> 01:55:09,560
Speaker 1: kill the clock. We're up big, let's run the ball.

2108
01:55:10,600 --> 01:55:13,280
Speaker 1: I mean, he got fifteen carries and the Saints blowout win.

2109
01:55:13,840 --> 01:55:15,440
Speaker 1: But that was the next that was the most action

2110
01:55:15,480 --> 01:55:18,480
Speaker 1: he had received up until yesterday. I'm a little because,

2111
01:55:18,560 --> 01:55:21,600
Speaker 1: you know, people who like Bills, fans who observe the

2112
01:55:21,640 --> 01:55:23,720
Speaker 1: team closely, and of course you and I sit here

2113
01:55:23,760 --> 01:55:26,360
Speaker 1: and talk about him every day. I think a lot

2114
01:55:26,400 --> 01:55:29,240
Speaker 1: of people are like, well, I wonder you know, Moss

2115
01:55:29,320 --> 01:55:32,840
Speaker 1: isn't out there. Breed is active, but he's not. He

2116
01:55:32,920 --> 01:55:38,880
Speaker 1: got like what two snaps one carry, right, and he

2117
01:55:38,960 --> 01:55:41,200
Speaker 1: got twenty two. I think you're sitting there asking yourself

2118
01:55:41,280 --> 01:55:42,960
Speaker 1: and they and the running game, you know, perked a

2119
01:55:43,000 --> 01:55:45,680
Speaker 1: little bit yesterday, although albeit against a team that's not

2120
01:55:45,800 --> 01:55:47,560
Speaker 1: very good against the run, a little bit of lightweight,

2121
01:55:47,640 --> 01:55:53,240
Speaker 1: as you said, most people were thinking, what's going on? Well,

2122
01:55:53,280 --> 01:55:56,200
Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying, Like, I'm wondering, have has the

2123
01:55:56,320 --> 01:56:01,160
Speaker 1: offensive staff made a conscious decision here that this is

2124
01:56:01,200 --> 01:56:05,720
Speaker 1: your guy the rest of the way as your for

2125
01:56:05,800 --> 01:56:08,080
Speaker 1: a quote, for lack of a better term, feature back

2126
01:56:08,160 --> 01:56:10,360
Speaker 1: in what is largely a passing offense. I don't even

2127
01:56:10,360 --> 01:56:11,720
Speaker 1: know if you could call him a feature back, to

2128
01:56:11,840 --> 01:56:15,120
Speaker 1: your number one back within the scope of this offense,

2129
01:56:15,920 --> 01:56:19,080
Speaker 1: and twenty two carries yesterday is kind of a strong

2130
01:56:19,120 --> 01:56:23,200
Speaker 1: indication of that. Now, you could argue it's game plan specific.

2131
01:56:23,240 --> 01:56:25,920
Speaker 1: It could be completely different this week against the Patriots.

2132
01:56:26,000 --> 01:56:28,480
Speaker 1: You could certainly make that argument, and you'd have backing

2133
01:56:28,880 --> 01:56:31,080
Speaker 1: working in your favor, because every other week this season

2134
01:56:31,080 --> 01:56:33,400
Speaker 1: it's been a committee approach. I don't see. To me,

2135
01:56:33,600 --> 01:56:37,080
Speaker 1: I can't get my head around them all now. In

2136
01:56:37,120 --> 01:56:44,120
Speaker 1: week fifteen, I was sixteen of the NFL season, them

2137
01:56:44,160 --> 01:56:46,080
Speaker 1: saying Okay, the rest of the way, this is our guy.

2138
01:56:47,480 --> 01:56:52,320
Speaker 1: It seems unlikely to me. Okay, well, there hasn't been

2139
01:56:52,560 --> 01:56:55,440
Speaker 1: a tremendous amount of evidence up until yesterday that any

2140
01:56:55,520 --> 01:56:58,880
Speaker 1: one guy would be the guy, right, and too many

2141
01:56:58,880 --> 01:57:03,360
Speaker 1: things can change too. I mean, somebody on the Devin

2142
01:57:03,480 --> 01:57:08,800
Speaker 1: singletary maybe out sick, So I get that and all

2143
01:57:08,880 --> 01:57:10,880
Speaker 1: that stuff to side. We can't you know, that's not

2144
01:57:10,960 --> 01:57:13,840
Speaker 1: in this conversation, but still true. So I I just

2145
01:57:13,880 --> 01:57:19,600
Speaker 1: don't think this coaching staff is gonna make a pronouncement

2146
01:57:19,760 --> 01:57:23,600
Speaker 1: like that because I don't think they're aside from Josh,

2147
01:57:23,720 --> 01:57:26,200
Speaker 1: they haven't made that pronouncement about anybody on this roster.

2148
01:57:26,760 --> 01:57:31,680
Speaker 1: Maybe Tradevious, maybe Digs. Yeah, even Cole Beasley has you know,

2149
01:57:31,760 --> 01:57:38,000
Speaker 1: disappeared for stretches. So I'm yeah, I'm I'm I'm not

2150
01:57:38,040 --> 01:57:39,760
Speaker 1: saying that all of a sudden. It's like, you know, well,

2151
01:57:39,840 --> 01:57:41,800
Speaker 1: let's just leave him in there. I don't think they've

2152
01:57:41,800 --> 01:57:45,320
Speaker 1: done they've done that. I don't think they do that. Yeah,

2153
01:57:45,720 --> 01:57:50,000
Speaker 1: so I don't. Yesterday, notwithstanding you're right, I was. I

2154
01:57:50,080 --> 01:57:53,720
Speaker 1: gotta tell you, I was surprised Breed didn't get more touches.

2155
01:57:54,040 --> 01:57:56,680
Speaker 1: I thought they were gonna match speed with speed. Yeah,

2156
01:57:56,920 --> 01:57:59,320
Speaker 1: knowing that's a fast flowing defense. Get some speed to

2157
01:57:59,360 --> 01:58:01,520
Speaker 1: the whole quick and maybe you get through there and

2158
01:58:01,560 --> 01:58:03,560
Speaker 1: get more yardage and they can see that at all.

2159
01:58:03,600 --> 01:58:07,320
Speaker 1: In retrospect, Moss might have been a better a better

2160
01:58:07,320 --> 01:58:09,920
Speaker 1: guy to have up pile pusher. Just push it. I mean,

2161
01:58:09,920 --> 01:58:12,120
Speaker 1: they got they don't have any weight. They can run

2162
01:58:12,160 --> 01:58:13,760
Speaker 1: as fast as they want if they can't, if they

2163
01:58:13,760 --> 01:58:15,440
Speaker 1: can't stop it when they get there. But to coach

2164
01:58:15,520 --> 01:58:18,520
Speaker 1: McDermott's comment after the game, he said what he liked

2165
01:58:18,600 --> 01:58:21,320
Speaker 1: most about Singletary was even when he got tied up,

2166
01:58:21,760 --> 01:58:24,040
Speaker 1: he kept the legs going and would get an extra two.

2167
01:58:24,200 --> 01:58:27,360
Speaker 1: There's a three yard there's maybe he has a genuine

2168
01:58:27,360 --> 01:58:29,720
Speaker 1: appreciation for that. There was probably less than a handful,

2169
01:58:29,760 --> 01:58:33,040
Speaker 1: but about a handful of runs where he got something

2170
01:58:33,080 --> 01:58:36,240
Speaker 1: out of nothing. Well, yeah something, So he has twenty

2171
01:58:36,400 --> 01:58:39,920
Speaker 1: not huge, but something. He had twenty two carries yesterday,

2172
01:58:40,280 --> 01:58:42,000
Speaker 1: and I know his average is in eye popping it

2173
01:58:42,040 --> 01:58:44,760
Speaker 1: was three point nine eighty six yards, Yeah he had

2174
01:58:45,000 --> 01:58:46,960
Speaker 1: so it was three point nine per carry, right around

2175
01:58:46,960 --> 01:58:51,400
Speaker 1: four on two of the twenty two carries. He had

2176
01:58:51,800 --> 01:58:54,760
Speaker 1: one for minus one and one for no game. Everything

2177
01:58:54,800 --> 01:58:59,560
Speaker 1: else was positive and that keeps you on schedule, and

2178
01:58:59,600 --> 01:59:02,360
Speaker 1: that's all they have to do. This offense can be

2179
01:59:02,400 --> 01:59:06,520
Speaker 1: so prolific if they just stay on schedule. That's why

2180
01:59:06,520 --> 01:59:09,240
Speaker 1: they got off to a slow start once again. In

2181
01:59:09,280 --> 01:59:11,920
Speaker 1: the first quarter. Got a third and fifteen on the

2182
01:59:11,920 --> 01:59:13,960
Speaker 1: first possession. I think it was a third and twelve

2183
01:59:13,960 --> 01:59:16,560
Speaker 1: on the second one. Not going anywhere. Yeah, that's the

2184
01:59:16,640 --> 01:59:19,800
Speaker 1: thing though, I mean, these games, you're we're splitting here

2185
01:59:20,040 --> 01:59:22,320
Speaker 1: Harris about who's carrying the rock running and it's a

2186
01:59:22,360 --> 01:59:25,600
Speaker 1: throwing team and all ad you gotta find a way

2187
01:59:25,600 --> 01:59:27,760
Speaker 1: to win like they did yesterday. Certainly, a thirty one

2188
01:59:27,960 --> 01:59:31,880
Speaker 1: fourteen wins sounds all great and honkey door, and it was.

2189
01:59:31,920 --> 01:59:34,320
Speaker 1: It was great then, and Josh looked good doing it.

2190
01:59:35,240 --> 01:59:38,240
Speaker 1: His completion percentage is down a little bit. The offensive

2191
01:59:38,280 --> 01:59:40,800
Speaker 1: line was a massive past done. It's a good pass

2192
01:59:40,920 --> 01:59:43,280
Speaker 1: the number one past defense in the league coming into yesterday.

2193
01:59:43,640 --> 01:59:46,080
Speaker 1: But it's a it's a it's at the time of

2194
01:59:46,120 --> 01:59:47,960
Speaker 1: the year when you gotta win. I mean, you look

2195
01:59:47,960 --> 01:59:49,840
Speaker 1: at these games tonight, Brian, I don't want to change

2196
01:59:49,880 --> 01:59:51,720
Speaker 1: before we go to break here, think about where the

2197
01:59:51,760 --> 01:59:56,520
Speaker 1: Browns are sitting right now. They're seven and six. If

2198
01:59:56,560 --> 02:00:00,800
Speaker 1: they win their first in their vision and they're the

2199
02:00:00,840 --> 02:00:03,640
Speaker 1: four seed in the in the conference, right if they

2200
02:00:03,800 --> 02:00:07,360
Speaker 1: lose their fourth in their division and they're the twelve

2201
02:00:07,400 --> 02:00:11,280
Speaker 1: seed in the conference, the big swing, that's massive. If

2202
02:00:11,280 --> 02:00:15,440
Speaker 1: they lose this game tonight, they're cooked. It's a difference

2203
02:00:16,280 --> 02:00:20,720
Speaker 1: being fourth and twelve. It's an eighth place swing. They're cooked.

2204
02:00:20,760 --> 02:00:23,080
Speaker 1: If they lose this game tonight. If they win their number,

2205
02:00:23,120 --> 02:00:25,440
Speaker 1: they're tops of their division, they go being right to

2206
02:00:25,480 --> 02:00:29,280
Speaker 1: the fourth. They replace Cincinnati, and Cincinnati would replace Buffalo,

2207
02:00:29,680 --> 02:00:31,920
Speaker 1: and Buffalo would be out. Yeah, they'd be in the

2208
02:00:32,000 --> 02:00:35,040
Speaker 1: in the hunt category. Not that that should be any

2209
02:00:35,320 --> 02:00:38,840
Speaker 1: major cause for concern, because you know, the Bills win

2210
02:00:39,000 --> 02:00:43,640
Speaker 1: again New England and everything's changed. Everything's different again, everything's changed.

2211
02:00:43,680 --> 02:00:46,840
Speaker 1: But that's that's where we're sitting. I mean, think about Cleveland, man,

2212
02:00:46,880 --> 02:00:51,400
Speaker 1: this is a massive game for them tonight, without their

2213
02:00:51,400 --> 02:00:54,600
Speaker 1: top without two quarterbacks, their top two quarterbacks, and eight

2214
02:00:54,640 --> 02:00:57,160
Speaker 1: other stories and eight other guys with that. Yeah, have

2215
02:00:57,200 --> 02:01:00,240
Speaker 1: fun break time for us when we come back. We'll

2216
02:01:00,240 --> 02:01:02,200
Speaker 1: get some of those thoughts on the tweet sheet. We

2217
02:01:02,240 --> 02:01:04,919
Speaker 1: gotta get over to that here next, your biggest takeaways

2218
02:01:04,920 --> 02:01:10,560
Speaker 1: from yesterday's win. Next on Buffalo's Radio, one Bills Live

2219
02:01:10,640 --> 02:01:12,480
Speaker 1: presented by Kalid to Health. We're back in a second.

2220
02:01:25,320 --> 02:01:27,600
Speaker 1: Welcome back to one Bills Live. Chris Brown, Steve Task,

2221
02:01:27,640 --> 02:01:34,240
Speaker 1: You're with you, and the COVID world continues to spin.

2222
02:01:34,680 --> 02:01:37,480
Speaker 1: It's getting worse. The Washington football team is going to

2223
02:01:37,560 --> 02:01:41,920
Speaker 1: be without seven members of their coaching staff for their

2224
02:01:42,080 --> 02:01:47,880
Speaker 1: rescheduled Tuesday game. Seven coaches. It's gonna be Defensive line

2225
02:01:47,920 --> 02:01:50,920
Speaker 1: coach Sam Mills will miss the game. Wide receiver coach

2226
02:01:51,040 --> 02:01:54,560
Speaker 1: Drew Tarrell will miss the game. Running backs coach Randy

2227
02:01:54,680 --> 02:01:57,520
Speaker 1: Jordan will miss the game. Defensive backs coach Chris Harris

2228
02:01:57,520 --> 02:02:00,400
Speaker 1: will miss the game, Assistant defensive backs nickel coach Brent

2229
02:02:00,520 --> 02:02:04,600
Speaker 1: weiss Meyer. Weisselmeyer is out of the game. Defensive quality

2230
02:02:04,640 --> 02:02:09,040
Speaker 1: control coach Vincent Rivera, and defensive coaching intern Christian Garcia,

2231
02:02:09,080 --> 02:02:10,760
Speaker 1: all those guys are gonna miss the game for the

2232
02:02:10,800 --> 02:02:14,440
Speaker 1: Washington football team, so they're gonna basically have half a

2233
02:02:14,520 --> 02:02:17,960
Speaker 1: staff and then the Brown starters on the field. These

2234
02:02:17,960 --> 02:02:22,640
Speaker 1: are actual players, of course. Jadeveon Clowney gone, Grant Delpitt out,

2235
02:02:22,720 --> 02:02:25,840
Speaker 1: Ronnie Harrison out, Troy Hill out, Austin Hooper out, James

2236
02:02:25,880 --> 02:02:30,200
Speaker 1: Hudson out, Jarvis Landry out, Baker Mayfield out, Malik McDowell out,

2237
02:02:30,800 --> 02:02:38,120
Speaker 1: Jedrick Wills Wills left tackle. Raiders starters missing because of

2238
02:02:38,160 --> 02:02:42,640
Speaker 1: COVID none, Well, they just added one today. Oh there

2239
02:02:42,680 --> 02:02:45,320
Speaker 1: you go, the cornerback Hobbs. You gotta hope, you gotta

2240
02:02:45,320 --> 02:02:49,040
Speaker 1: get to the game fast, because if you could, you

2241
02:02:49,040 --> 02:02:52,480
Speaker 1: could lose nine guys like this morning. And Tom Pella

2242
02:02:52,560 --> 02:02:56,240
Speaker 1: Sero just tweeted a few minutes ago from NFL Network

2243
02:02:56,760 --> 02:03:02,320
Speaker 1: multiple fully vaccinated, a symptom addict. NFL players tested positive

2244
02:03:02,320 --> 02:03:04,840
Speaker 1: for COVID nineteen today on the first day of the

2245
02:03:04,920 --> 02:03:09,200
Speaker 1: new targeted testing according to sources. So even though routine

2246
02:03:09,240 --> 02:03:12,800
Speaker 1: weekly testing is over, the omicron wave clearly is not.

2247
02:03:13,480 --> 02:03:17,120
Speaker 1: And even without symptoms, new cases are still being caught.

2248
02:03:18,520 --> 02:03:22,840
Speaker 1: And if you test positive, bang COVID reserve so active. Yeah,

2249
02:03:22,840 --> 02:03:25,680
Speaker 1: And so the Washington team is they've activated a couple

2250
02:03:25,720 --> 02:03:30,320
Speaker 1: of players off that tackle Sam Cosme is activated defensive end,

2251
02:03:30,360 --> 02:03:35,720
Speaker 1: Montez Sweat is activated for Washington defensive tackle Matt Leonidas,

2252
02:03:35,720 --> 02:03:40,600
Speaker 1: whoa off the reserve COVID nineteen list, and Brandon Shurf

2253
02:03:40,640 --> 02:03:45,720
Speaker 1: guard is on the list. Fucks. Wide receiver Chris Godwin

2254
02:03:45,760 --> 02:03:48,040
Speaker 1: does not have an MCL. He has a torn ACL

2255
02:03:48,160 --> 02:03:52,880
Speaker 1: he has done for the years. Too bad. Wow, that

2256
02:03:53,080 --> 02:03:55,800
Speaker 1: is a loss, although they are getting Antonio Brown back

2257
02:03:55,880 --> 02:03:59,520
Speaker 1: this week from his three game suspension, so just plug

2258
02:03:59,560 --> 02:04:03,000
Speaker 1: and play for them. I guess. Looks like Jaguar has

2259
02:04:03,040 --> 02:04:05,320
Speaker 1: lost their safety ray Sean Jenkins for the year as well,

2260
02:04:05,400 --> 02:04:10,960
Speaker 1: broken ankle suffered yesterday. So not as catastrophic in terms

2261
02:04:10,960 --> 02:04:13,680
Speaker 1: of playoff chances because Jags aren't going to the postseason,

2262
02:04:13,760 --> 02:04:17,920
Speaker 1: but still a serious injury nonetheless, So the roster shuffling

2263
02:04:18,560 --> 02:04:23,880
Speaker 1: is only going to continue and We're not epidemiologists, but

2264
02:04:23,920 --> 02:04:27,160
Speaker 1: it seems that the way this homacron variants going, I

2265
02:04:27,160 --> 02:04:28,720
Speaker 1: think every team in the league is going to be

2266
02:04:28,800 --> 02:04:31,360
Speaker 1: touched by this eventually in some way, shape or form

2267
02:04:31,680 --> 02:04:34,680
Speaker 1: before the regular season is over. Absolutely, and you just

2268
02:04:34,760 --> 02:04:39,040
Speaker 1: hope against hope that important players that you need in

2269
02:04:39,080 --> 02:04:41,560
Speaker 1: the midst of a playoff push in a very tight

2270
02:04:41,600 --> 02:04:45,280
Speaker 1: AFC conference race does not cost you a playoff spot. Yeah,

2271
02:04:45,320 --> 02:04:54,960
Speaker 1: that's it's the ultimate fear, right, Yeah, you just want

2272
02:04:54,960 --> 02:04:56,920
Speaker 1: to get through it and get there because you figure

2273
02:04:56,960 --> 02:05:00,200
Speaker 1: every the problem is this one team is gonna get hit,

2274
02:05:00,240 --> 02:05:03,000
Speaker 1: the other team is not. They'll have to play the

2275
02:05:03,040 --> 02:05:05,720
Speaker 1: game lose it because of it. That team says, hey,

2276
02:05:05,760 --> 02:05:07,480
Speaker 1: all right, we got one. Then they're gonna get hit

2277
02:05:07,680 --> 02:05:10,400
Speaker 1: to another team that's not, or somebody's gonna get lucky

2278
02:05:10,640 --> 02:05:12,880
Speaker 1: and they're gonna get hit at the same time their

2279
02:05:12,920 --> 02:05:15,960
Speaker 1: opponent gets hit. Kind of manage to win. Then they're

2280
02:05:16,000 --> 02:05:18,480
Speaker 1: gonna get healthy again. And the team they play then

2281
02:05:18,520 --> 02:05:20,080
Speaker 1: they get it, and now you you know you can

2282
02:05:20,240 --> 02:05:24,360
Speaker 1: keep winning because every team you play is going through

2283
02:05:24,400 --> 02:05:27,720
Speaker 1: what you went three weeks ago. So being in the

2284
02:05:27,760 --> 02:05:31,120
Speaker 1: first team to go through it, it may be the

2285
02:05:31,160 --> 02:05:34,000
Speaker 1: beneficiary at the end unless these new protocols can get

2286
02:05:34,040 --> 02:05:37,520
Speaker 1: them around it because they asymptomatic players. And that's words, right,

2287
02:05:37,560 --> 02:05:39,520
Speaker 1: They either they can get back faster or they never

2288
02:05:39,560 --> 02:05:44,440
Speaker 1: catch it because the guys don't get tested because they're asymptomatic. Yeah,

2289
02:05:44,480 --> 02:05:47,480
Speaker 1: the whole notion of self reporting in the middle of

2290
02:05:47,520 --> 02:05:49,680
Speaker 1: the playoff push what players doing that? Yeah, and then

2291
02:05:49,760 --> 02:05:52,520
Speaker 1: let me just say this, there's a lot the Antonio

2292
02:05:52,600 --> 02:05:56,000
Speaker 1: Brown situation after three game suspension for you know, faking

2293
02:05:56,040 --> 02:05:59,760
Speaker 1: an id a VAX card, and they're saying and Bruce

2294
02:06:00,360 --> 02:06:05,600
Speaker 1: was reportedly livid because he lied to the organization and

2295
02:06:05,680 --> 02:06:07,200
Speaker 1: to the league and all that stuff and did all that.

2296
02:06:07,320 --> 02:06:09,080
Speaker 1: He says, well, I don't know, I'm decided here. Well,

2297
02:06:09,240 --> 02:06:11,440
Speaker 1: Chris Godwin's out. Now, what do you think his decision's

2298
02:06:11,440 --> 02:06:14,640
Speaker 1: gonna be? Well, it was three weeks suspended and now

2299
02:06:14,640 --> 02:06:18,200
Speaker 1: he's welcoming him back. Surprise, surprise. Yeah, especially with get

2300
02:06:18,240 --> 02:06:22,320
Speaker 1: Chris Godwin going down? Yeah for the year. Yeah, Well

2301
02:06:22,360 --> 02:06:24,200
Speaker 1: there you go. Let's go to the phones. We're gonna

2302
02:06:24,200 --> 02:06:26,280
Speaker 1: go to see what Bill and Rochester has to say.

2303
02:06:26,320 --> 02:06:27,560
Speaker 1: What do you have for his bill? You're on one?

2304
02:06:27,560 --> 02:06:31,400
Speaker 1: Bill's live, Hi, christ and Steve, I just wanted to

2305
02:06:31,440 --> 02:06:34,720
Speaker 1: comment on your selection of the best Christmas movie. Oh yeah, certainly,

2306
02:06:34,800 --> 02:06:39,040
Speaker 1: wasn't Tim tim Allen in the Santa Claus. It was

2307
02:06:39,080 --> 02:06:45,800
Speaker 1: a movie called Bus Santa Claus with Dudley Moore, John

2308
02:06:45,920 --> 02:06:48,960
Speaker 1: Lithgow and Burgess Meredith and it was me I think

2309
02:06:48,960 --> 02:06:52,680
Speaker 1: around ninety four and it was really really a wonderful

2310
02:06:52,720 --> 02:06:55,080
Speaker 1: family movie. You really don't want to miss it, all right,

2311
02:06:55,120 --> 02:07:01,240
Speaker 1: I guess John Lithgow, John Lythgow, Burgess Meredith, who's I

2312
02:07:01,280 --> 02:07:05,800
Speaker 1: think he was? Santa? Yeah? Wow? And uh, Dudley Moore

2313
02:07:05,880 --> 02:07:08,160
Speaker 1: was in it. He was an elf that wanted to

2314
02:07:08,160 --> 02:07:11,920
Speaker 1: make sure Christmas went okay for the kids. We'll take

2315
02:07:11,960 --> 02:07:16,080
Speaker 1: that one to the bank. Uh, let's go back to

2316
02:07:16,160 --> 02:07:18,840
Speaker 1: the phones. We'll go to Edrick in New Jersey. What

2317
02:07:18,880 --> 02:07:21,240
Speaker 1: do you have for us? You're on one Bill's Live. Hey,

2318
02:07:21,240 --> 02:07:25,520
Speaker 1: what's going on? Guys? Happy holidays? Um? I would make

2319
02:07:25,560 --> 02:07:27,960
Speaker 1: a build a little bit on what When Eric Wood

2320
02:07:28,000 --> 02:07:30,800
Speaker 1: was on and he's talking about Singletary, I've been saying

2321
02:07:30,800 --> 02:07:34,400
Speaker 1: it for weeks. I think Singletary should have been getting

2322
02:07:34,440 --> 02:07:38,120
Speaker 1: all the carries weeks ago, the drop off between him

2323
02:07:38,320 --> 02:07:42,520
Speaker 1: and Zachson Brita. I think it's it's pretty steep, um,

2324
02:07:42,600 --> 02:07:44,920
Speaker 1: and then we flip it to the other side. I

2325
02:07:45,000 --> 02:07:46,680
Speaker 1: think the D line, I think we got do the

2326
02:07:46,720 --> 02:07:49,800
Speaker 1: same thing, man. I think the besides yesterday when ef

2327
02:07:50,040 --> 02:07:54,280
Speaker 1: Obata did something. I think the drop off between Jerry Hughes,

2328
02:07:54,720 --> 02:07:57,800
Speaker 1: Greg Russe and Matthew and Mario Addison to everybody else,

2329
02:07:58,080 --> 02:08:01,880
Speaker 1: I think it's huge. Uh. I think the drop off

2330
02:08:01,880 --> 02:08:06,720
Speaker 1: Betweenette Oliver star and and Harrison Phillips to Vernon Butler

2331
02:08:07,400 --> 02:08:10,760
Speaker 1: is huge, you know. And I know they love that

2332
02:08:10,840 --> 02:08:14,520
Speaker 1: rotation of of line, but I just think Jerry Hughes

2333
02:08:14,560 --> 02:08:17,880
Speaker 1: at seventy percent energy is still a much better player

2334
02:08:17,880 --> 02:08:21,240
Speaker 1: at this point then Carlins Basham at one hundred percent

2335
02:08:21,760 --> 02:08:24,920
Speaker 1: or Epanessa at one hundred percent. And also one more

2336
02:08:24,960 --> 02:08:27,680
Speaker 1: thing that I wanted I've been meaning to call in

2337
02:08:27,760 --> 02:08:31,440
Speaker 1: to say about our defense. Listen. I love our defense guys,

2338
02:08:31,520 --> 02:08:34,280
Speaker 1: and um, you know, I think we've got great players.

2339
02:08:34,720 --> 02:08:37,640
Speaker 1: But I think our scouting department I think in the

2340
02:08:37,680 --> 02:08:41,600
Speaker 1: coming years, needs to put a little more emphasis on

2341
02:08:41,760 --> 02:08:45,880
Speaker 1: physical attributes. And when I say physical attributes, I mean speed. Um.

2342
02:08:46,160 --> 02:08:48,320
Speaker 1: I think those long runs where we're getting beat at

2343
02:08:49,040 --> 02:08:52,360
Speaker 1: is this we can't catch anyone. I mean Leonard Fournette

2344
02:08:52,360 --> 02:08:55,320
Speaker 1: to have a fifty yard run on us. You know,

2345
02:08:55,600 --> 02:08:58,520
Speaker 1: if j pol and Mica take a bad angle, we're

2346
02:08:58,560 --> 02:09:02,320
Speaker 1: done because no one is catching anyone from behind. Again,

2347
02:09:02,360 --> 02:09:06,240
Speaker 1: I love those guys. I love our defense. But besides Tremaine,

2348
02:09:06,480 --> 02:09:09,480
Speaker 1: matt A, Trey and and and and you know, and

2349
02:09:09,560 --> 02:09:12,800
Speaker 1: Greg sou who's got physical attributes. You know, And I

2350
02:09:12,840 --> 02:09:15,400
Speaker 1: think this coat, this scott In department need to put

2351
02:09:15,680 --> 02:09:18,200
Speaker 1: I didn't they need to put a little more emphasis undrafting,

2352
02:09:18,680 --> 02:09:22,000
Speaker 1: undrafting players, drafting guys that could run. I'm not talking

2353
02:09:22,040 --> 02:09:24,640
Speaker 1: to how Davis here. I'm not gonna take Darius Heyward

2354
02:09:24,640 --> 02:09:27,640
Speaker 1: Bay in the first round. But you know, just put

2355
02:09:27,720 --> 02:09:30,440
Speaker 1: more emphasis on speed. But I think we need it.

2356
02:09:30,720 --> 02:09:32,000
Speaker 1: I think we need it. I think you can go

2357
02:09:32,040 --> 02:09:34,560
Speaker 1: back to the anti championship game. No one could keep

2358
02:09:34,640 --> 02:09:38,600
Speaker 1: up with Tyree Hill. Still be in the league. They

2359
02:09:38,600 --> 02:09:40,200
Speaker 1: can keep up with him. Yeah, one hundred and forty

2360
02:09:40,240 --> 02:09:43,240
Speaker 1: six yards last week. I get it. I get it.

2361
02:09:43,280 --> 02:09:46,480
Speaker 1: But I think some guys, you know, Dylan Ramsey can

2362
02:09:46,520 --> 02:09:49,320
Speaker 1: at least put up a shot. Levi Wallace he's not

2363
02:09:49,400 --> 02:09:52,520
Speaker 1: keeping up, you know, Terren Johnson, He's not gonna keep up,

2364
02:09:52,560 --> 02:09:54,520
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I just feel like we

2365
02:09:54,640 --> 02:09:56,960
Speaker 1: need some more speed, and that's why we give up

2366
02:09:57,160 --> 02:09:59,520
Speaker 1: those long runs as opposed to the past. We don't

2367
02:09:59,560 --> 02:10:02,240
Speaker 1: give out law classes because there's nobody better than our safety.

2368
02:10:02,480 --> 02:10:04,560
Speaker 1: Those guys on all the angles. They know how to

2369
02:10:04,560 --> 02:10:07,120
Speaker 1: play all the positions, you know, And I think that's

2370
02:10:07,160 --> 02:10:14,160
Speaker 1: why we're allowing all those long runs. All right, Yeah, okay, yeah, yeah,

2371
02:10:14,200 --> 02:10:17,040
Speaker 1: that's why those long runs are touchdowns, that's for sure.

2372
02:10:17,160 --> 02:10:18,880
Speaker 1: I don't know that that's why you're allowing the long

2373
02:10:18,960 --> 02:10:22,200
Speaker 1: runs because the running those runs are. You should stop

2374
02:10:22,200 --> 02:10:24,000
Speaker 1: those runs of the line scrimmage. I would argue to

2375
02:10:24,000 --> 02:10:27,520
Speaker 1: get size players up front right more than plays. I'll

2376
02:10:27,560 --> 02:10:30,800
Speaker 1: say this, You're right about one thing. I do think

2377
02:10:31,000 --> 02:10:35,120
Speaker 1: they need to draft some traits. Now. We saw it

2378
02:10:35,160 --> 02:10:37,960
Speaker 1: a little bit with Greg Rousseau, and we saw it

2379
02:10:37,960 --> 02:10:42,840
Speaker 1: with Spencer Brown and Tommy Doyle. Um, these big bodied guys,

2380
02:10:42,880 --> 02:10:46,960
Speaker 1: they've got some traits. Edmonds is a trade player. Josh

2381
02:10:46,960 --> 02:10:50,240
Speaker 1: Allen's a trade player, absolutely, And when you you know,

2382
02:10:50,360 --> 02:10:52,480
Speaker 1: start getting out away from those guys, maybe you know.

2383
02:10:52,600 --> 02:10:55,440
Speaker 1: Ed Oliver is not a trade player. He's a He's

2384
02:10:55,440 --> 02:11:00,840
Speaker 1: an except for most motor player um when Yeah, so,

2385
02:11:00,960 --> 02:11:04,120
Speaker 1: I get what you're saying. When you have size parameters

2386
02:11:04,120 --> 02:11:06,800
Speaker 1: that you want to look at, you run a risk,

2387
02:11:07,320 --> 02:11:10,000
Speaker 1: just like you do when when you make pronouncements about

2388
02:11:10,000 --> 02:11:12,280
Speaker 1: your philosophy. If you're ever gonna deviate from your philosophy,

2389
02:11:12,280 --> 02:11:14,560
Speaker 1: you're gonna miss guys. You're gonna have a chance to

2390
02:11:14,600 --> 02:11:17,360
Speaker 1: miss on great players because they're a half inch underneath

2391
02:11:17,760 --> 02:11:21,520
Speaker 1: your parameter, or fifteen pounds heavier or twenty five pounds lighter,

2392
02:11:21,560 --> 02:11:24,520
Speaker 1: or whatever you want to whatever parameter you choose. If

2393
02:11:24,560 --> 02:11:27,560
Speaker 1: you've got or he's a tenth of a second too

2394
02:11:27,600 --> 02:11:29,560
Speaker 1: slow or a half a tenth of a second too slow,

2395
02:11:30,720 --> 02:11:33,400
Speaker 1: that's what you risk. You miss risk missing on a

2396
02:11:33,440 --> 02:11:38,440
Speaker 1: player that's special in so many other ways, mostly between

2397
02:11:38,840 --> 02:11:42,800
Speaker 1: between his ears and inside his left chest. That's kind

2398
02:11:42,800 --> 02:11:45,760
Speaker 1: of stuff you can't measure, and the traits are hard

2399
02:11:45,800 --> 02:11:49,760
Speaker 1: to see. But I get it. This is a team

2400
02:11:49,800 --> 02:11:52,560
Speaker 1: that's that's more and more, particularly on the defensive side,

2401
02:11:52,600 --> 02:11:57,640
Speaker 1: has stuck to that trait search they need some big

2402
02:11:57,640 --> 02:11:59,880
Speaker 1: bodies in the middle. I'm sorry, I'm I'm voting for

2403
02:12:00,080 --> 02:12:03,480
Speaker 1: that one hundred things out of a hundred over more speed, guys.

2404
02:12:03,600 --> 02:12:05,960
Speaker 1: I think sorry, I'm with you. I gotta win at

2405
02:12:06,000 --> 02:12:07,640
Speaker 1: the line, and they're not doing that right now. I

2406
02:12:07,720 --> 02:12:09,520
Speaker 1: think not because of speed. It's because I think this

2407
02:12:09,600 --> 02:12:11,400
Speaker 1: is a team. I think this is a team that

2408
02:12:11,520 --> 02:12:15,200
Speaker 1: needs some big dudes, and those guys I think I

2409
02:12:15,240 --> 02:12:17,440
Speaker 1: like their philosophy. They've drafted a lot of big guys

2410
02:12:17,440 --> 02:12:19,000
Speaker 1: at the top of the last couple of drafts. I

2411
02:12:19,000 --> 02:12:20,760
Speaker 1: think they should continue to do it. They just have

2412
02:12:20,800 --> 02:12:24,760
Speaker 1: to be even bigger. Yeah, break time here, Steve and

2413
02:12:24,760 --> 02:12:26,520
Speaker 1: I'll close it up next here on One Bills Live,

2414
02:12:26,520 --> 02:12:41,320
Speaker 1: presenter by Colloid to Health. It's Buffalo Bills Radio. All right,

2415
02:12:41,360 --> 02:12:43,960
Speaker 1: welcome back to One Bills Live. Chris Brown, Steve Casker

2416
02:12:44,000 --> 02:12:48,440
Speaker 1: with you here on a Buffalo victory Monday. And I

2417
02:12:48,480 --> 02:12:53,360
Speaker 1: think it's important for us to point out and Tom

2418
02:12:53,400 --> 02:12:57,360
Speaker 1: Pella Sero wisely posted this because I think there is

2419
02:12:57,400 --> 02:13:03,280
Speaker 1: still a measure of confusion on the revamped COVID protocols. Yes,

2420
02:13:03,320 --> 02:13:07,240
Speaker 1: it is targeted testing, but anyone who tests positive for

2421
02:13:07,360 --> 02:13:13,000
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen, regardless of their symptoms or vaccination status, has

2422
02:13:13,040 --> 02:13:16,640
Speaker 1: to isolate until they are cleared to return. Now the

2423
02:13:16,680 --> 02:13:19,760
Speaker 1: new protocols, as Tom pellas Ero pointed out on his

2424
02:13:19,800 --> 02:13:25,200
Speaker 1: Twitter account make it more likely that an asymptomatic vaccinated

2425
02:13:25,640 --> 02:13:29,880
Speaker 1: player or coach can return in fewer than ten days,

2426
02:13:29,920 --> 02:13:34,280
Speaker 1: and some have already, but they still go on the

2427
02:13:34,320 --> 02:13:38,720
Speaker 1: COVID reserve list even if they're asymptomatic. Yeah, and that's positive.

2428
02:13:38,760 --> 02:13:42,840
Speaker 1: You're still going. You're still out, whether you're vaccinated or not,

2429
02:13:42,880 --> 02:13:46,000
Speaker 1: whether the f symptoms or not. I don't know whether

2430
02:13:46,040 --> 02:13:48,240
Speaker 1: we'll head further down the road to saying listen, if

2431
02:13:48,240 --> 02:13:50,000
Speaker 1: you don't have any symptoms, it doesn't matter if you

2432
02:13:50,120 --> 02:13:54,240
Speaker 1: test positive or not, You're you're okay. I doubt that,

2433
02:13:55,440 --> 02:14:00,400
Speaker 1: but it's it's changing fast, folks. Cross your fingers and

2434
02:14:00,440 --> 02:14:03,360
Speaker 1: toes that the bills don't have a domino effect of positives.

2435
02:14:03,800 --> 02:14:08,000
Speaker 1: After Dawkins on Friday and then Feliciano on Sunday. Just

2436
02:14:08,280 --> 02:14:11,120
Speaker 1: hope against that with all your mighty Kyle Brandt on

2437
02:14:11,160 --> 02:14:22,880
Speaker 1: the show tomorrow. We'll see at one
