17
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: I know. As voice of the Buffalo Bills, Brownie, I

18
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 1: know you you are. You become something more than you

19
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: become a resource, right, all of a sudden. You were

20
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 1: always the Bills insider, and you know as much about

21
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: this roster and everything's going on as anybody and so

22
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: and then you're now you're the voice of the Bills.

23
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 1: I've been on three radio stations and I'm from Kansas, right,

24
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:41,400
Speaker 1: So right.

25
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 2: So they come after you.

26
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 1: I was on one this morning, I got two coming up.

27
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: I got you know people, you know, radio and Canada

28
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: wants to talk to everybody. I mean, it's nobody. My

29
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 1: phone is silent for weeks. And then we played the

30
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: Chiefs and it's like here we go.

31
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 2: Yeah we have. We have a friend of hours who

32
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 2: is a University of Georgia alum and he has never

33
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 2: seen a Bills game in his life. This, that, and

34
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 2: the other. Just as a gesture, we sent him a

35
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 2: James Cook jersey last year around the holidays. Because he's

36
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 2: a former Georgia player. We thought he'd appreciate it, right,

37
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 2: So he texts us out of the blue today. I

38
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 2: haven't heard from him in months. He's coming to the game.

39
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,239
Speaker 2: He has never been to a Bills game. He just

40
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 2: wants to see James Cook in person.

41
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 1: Just yeah, picking a run of the middle Bills game.

42
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: Picking just a run of the mill game, not a

43
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: run of the mill game, yet, not a run of

44
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: the milk game.

45
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 2: A couple of my high school buddies are like, oh,

46
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 2: I'd like to see that one. Can you help me out?

47
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 2: I was like, well, maybe if you talk to me.

48
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,239
Speaker 2: Four months ago, I might have been able to help

49
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 2: you out. Are you kidding me? This is the hottest

50
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 2: ticket of the year. Let's go.

51
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: It's yeah. That And even in the building they're treating this.

52
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, the all us content people with the bill.

53
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: It's all playoffs.

54
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:09,799
Speaker 2: Plays see soon enough. Just how big it is? Yeah,

55
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 2: people in the building.

56
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's intent good stuff. It'll be fun.

57
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 2: Yeah. A lot to be determined on the practice field

58
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 2: today is this is the first real practice for the

59
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 2: Bills this week, this late in the year, we usually

60
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 2: see walk through practices on Wednesdays, give the bodies an

61
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 2: extra day to recovery. That's what we saw this week.

62
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 2: Today we'll kind of get an update on players like

63
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 2: Dalton Kincaid and Spencer Brown, who were listed as d

64
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 2: NPS yesterday due to knee and ankle injuries respectively. Spencer

65
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 2: Brown even talked to the media yesterday and he's like, look,

66
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 2: just rolled the ankle last week, got some swelling in there,

67
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 2: working with the athletic trainers, trying to get the swelling down.

68
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 2: I'd be surprised if he practices today. My guess is

69
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 2: practice Friday, get all the odds and ends lined up,

70
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 2: and then hopefully he can play on Sunday, because look,

71
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 2: we've If you've been an athlete for more than two

72
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 2: years and you play on a field or a court,

73
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 2: you've rolled your ankle, you've done it, and you know

74
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 2: how annoying that is. And if you roll it real good,

75
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 2: you have an orange on the side of your foot and.

76
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: It's black and blue.

77
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 2: And yeah, and it takes a while for that swelling

78
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 2: to go down. You really got to work at it

79
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 2: to get like.

80
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: And it's hard to because that kind of role in

81
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: your ankle is not one of the like I had

82
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 1: injuries where the ankle you could just give it a

83
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: needle and he'd be fine because it was a different

84
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: kind of but when you roll it, they don't like

85
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: doing that.

86
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 2: And yeah, because the swelling is usually more severe.

87
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 1: That's a lot of It's not something you just pop

88
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 1: a little needle into the presto changer, let's go play. Yeah,

89
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: I say everybody, I've done that a bunch other guys.

90
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: I know it's something. It's not a big deal because

91
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: you're not it's not a structural thing. You roll it.

92
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: It's different. Yeah, it's different. You kind of kind of

93
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:07,599
Speaker 1: live with it.

94
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 2: And it's painful and you can tape it up and

95
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 2: you know, take four ibuprofen and roll and some some

96
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 2: people may have done the toward all and all the other. Yeah,

97
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 2: we didn't have the fancy stuff that you guys did like.

98
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 3: Through it.

99
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 1: The budget is not the concern. I mean, you got,

100
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:34,919
Speaker 1: I mean and I'm not saying this. And it was

101
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: never an atmosphere of the bill. It's never been an

102
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: atmosphere with the Buffalo Bills worried. There's guys lined up,

103
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: you know, taking some concoction of pills and getting shot

104
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,599
Speaker 1: up to play. It's never been like that. Uh and

105
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 1: certainly not under Sean McDermott. But they do do it.

106
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 1: It is, you know a thing. Yeah, he finished, He

107
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: almost didn't. He finish the game, Dispenser brown Face left

108
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,279
Speaker 1: the game, left the game, came back right, came back and.

109
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 2: Finished after they taped him up. But that's before all

110
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 2: the swell set.

111
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: Might he might have one of those little stirrup braces

112
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: to play in and stuff and let's go.

113
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 2: You know, yeah, to prevent it from rolling around right.

114
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: Just hold or steady, and it'll depend on how he

115
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 1: feels in it as well. He might say listen. I can't.

116
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 1: I can't function well enough with that on or this

117
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 1: or that, so then it may be a concern that

118
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: could still happen.

119
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 2: Right, So we'll just have to see once the media

120
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 2: viewing portion of practice is closed, we'll be able to

121
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 2: provide you with those updates. We can't do it while

122
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 2: the media viewing portion of practice is open, So as

123
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 2: soon as that comes to a conclusion here in the

124
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 2: next twenty minutes or so, hopefully we can pass along

125
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,480
Speaker 2: some updates to you as far as where it sits

126
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 2: right now. And I guess this will fall under the

127
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 2: umbrella of Bill's practice Updates presented by Lee comm your

128
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 2: Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine. So on Wednesday, Spencer

129
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 2: Brown Dalton kin K did not practice, along with Keon

130
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 2: Coleman who's already been declared out for this week, and

131
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 2: then Amari Cooper limited so he's still coming along Matt

132
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 2: Mulano limited as his practice window is open, not going

133
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 2: to play this week. They have twenty one days to

134
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 2: decide whether to lift him off i R and put

135
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 2: him on the active roster, which would seem to be

136
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 2: the plan at this point in time, and then beyond that.

137
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 2: The good news is Reggie Gilliam was a full participant yesterday,

138
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 2: so it looks like he's ready to return after a

139
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 2: two game absence, and that could be very important if

140
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 2: Dalton Kincaid, god forbid is not available, because Gilliam could

141
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 2: kind of serve as your third tight end. Yeah right,

142
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 2: everybody moves up a peg.

143
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 3: Right.

144
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 1: Right, Quentin Morris, would you know be a tune and

145
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 1: then yeah, so they could. That would help a lot.

146
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: Plus you could you always got that finger quotes fullback option. Yeah,

147
00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: so yeah, there's also we talked about it earlier today

148
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: we on Bills by the Numbers. You know this is

149
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: this has been a different year for the Bills offense.

150
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: A lot of it has to do with two things,

151
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: two major things. One the changeover in personnel, particularly I

152
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 1: think skill positions, and two injuries because not only I

153
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 1: mean think about that, We're sitting here, we got Amari

154
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: Cooper and Keon Coleman who have just started like let's go,

155
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: and they're they're out.

156
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 2: Like ah, the timing is poor.

157
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 1: My gosh, it stinks.

158
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 2: But I guess with an eight and two record, a

159
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 2: five game winning streak, you know where the team's going.

160
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 2: To be at the end of the year. You'd rather

161
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 2: have them.

162
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 1: You got them at the end, you got a margin

163
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: of error.

164
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 2: Because I can just tell you we have gone into

165
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 2: way too many postseasons without all the bullets in the chamber,

166
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 2: and it's been frustrated. I'm totally with you. And I

167
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 2: know last year perfect example. I mean, you play the

168
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 2: Chiefs without Terrell Bernard, four starters, a gimpy Rasul Douglas,

169
00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 2: Milano's out Milano so and no Trey White at that

170
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 2: time either.

171
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 1: I mean, it's here's.

172
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 2: What are we doing right? So, and it was I'd

173
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 2: rather play the long game, that's what happens, and have

174
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,959
Speaker 2: them in the winner go home scenario even than the

175
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 2: win and play next week scenario. This week you got

176
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 2: them here like last year we had the built the

177
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 2: Chiefs here.

178
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 1: But now you know, you don't get to play your guys.

179
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 2: You get you know between week got between Week eighteen

180
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 2: and the Pittsburgh wild Card game, you lost like eight players.

181
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 2: It was insane.

182
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 1: So that's that's absolutely stinks. So here's the thing. There's

183
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: a lot of what if and then if and then

184
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: so you you get them here, you hold you you

185
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 1: play it because you got a huge margin of error

186
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 1: in the in the You've got a four game lead

187
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 1: in the division, right, it's not going anywhere, and you

188
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,439
Speaker 1: got three games at the end of the season. So

189
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 1: if you need to sprint to the finish, even through

190
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 1: this four game stretch of four really good teams coming up.

191
00:09:58,160 --> 00:09:59,439
Speaker 1: You get to the end of the year and you

192
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: got Patriots, Jets, Patriots. You're thinking we're gonna get so

193
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,719
Speaker 1: do you throttle it back. Make sure the guys can

194
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 1: get healthy, get them on track, and get them lined up,

195
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 1: and you know in this home game, hope you can

196
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 1: play well in this home game without all these guys,

197
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 1: and then take the chance that you're gonna have all

198
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 1: your guys healthy when you go to Kansas City and

199
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 1: play these jokers again well in a hostile environment.

200
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 2: I think here we might be getting a little ahead

201
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 2: of ourselves. My hope is that if there are some

202
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 2: guys that are resting this week, it's by design, right,

203
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 2: because you have the bye next week, and instead of

204
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 2: blowing it out and setting their prognosis back by having

205
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 2: them play quote unquote hurt right, that you now lose

206
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 2: the benefit of the bye week because you've reset the

207
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 2: timetable by playing them this week. So rest them this

208
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 2: week again if you have to. If it cost you

209
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:03,559
Speaker 2: the game, it sucks. But eyes on the prize.

210
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, because here's what happens if you got this. There's

211
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 1: a huge gray area. So what happened? You got a

212
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:09,199
Speaker 1: bye week coming up? So what if you got a

213
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 1: guy who's kind of hurting that play him because he's

214
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: got two weeks anyway to get back right now?

215
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 2: For a guy like Spencer Brown, that might make sense,

216
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 2: except that he gets.

217
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 1: In the game three plays in. Now he's out. Now

218
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 1: you got this, you know. Now you gotta get Now

219
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:26,959
Speaker 1: you're now. You can't put him back, you know what

220
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 1: I mean? Now you're thin in case something else happens.

221
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: You don't have enough guys on this game, which he

222
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:36,319
Speaker 1: kind of. You do want to play good? You want

223
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 1: to play good in this game?

224
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 2: Yes, you do.

225
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,959
Speaker 1: Right, So it's a there's a huge gray area and

226
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,559
Speaker 1: and a lot of choices and if ans or butts

227
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,319
Speaker 1: to take into consideration.

228
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, between today and Friday.

229
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 1: And the Chiefs are no different.

230
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 2: No, No, they're I think they got about seven eight starters.

231
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 2: They're missing too, mostly on offense.

232
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 1: They're sitting in the exact same spot we are. But

233
00:11:57,960 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: you know, then here's the thing too, And this is

234
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 1: why I'm kind I'm glad they got that field goal

235
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: block last week. This there's a little bit of something

236
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 1: something in there about going undefeated. Oh yeah, if you're

237
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 1: sitting there as the Chiefs and you're Mahomes and Andy

238
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 1: Reid saying, listen, we got two back to back and

239
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 1: we go, we could be the most legendary franchise, have

240
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 1: the most legendary stretch of NFL seasons ever in the

241
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,959
Speaker 1: history of the You know, we gotta go for it

242
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 1: right now. I mean that's they might, the pressure, they might,

243
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 1: but if they got nine guys heard and they again

244
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: they said, you know what, we're gonna We're gonna be

245
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 1: there anyway. Let's take it back. Let's just win three,

246
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 1: try and win three in a row, and that'll be

247
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 1: enough without the undefeated season. You know what, because I know,

248
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 1: you know, Mahomes and Kelsey, those guys are going, uh,

249
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 1: let's go. We got to beat these jokers this week

250
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. Let's go. You know, you know the players

251
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:58,200
Speaker 1: are thinking that, Oh yeah, and I would be two.

252
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 2: It's understandable.

253
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 1: This is what is Brownie, this is what maybe it

254
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 1: happened in soccer two when you were played. The healthy

255
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: guys in the locker room are down for sitting around.

256
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 1: The healthy guys are coming over and sitting down by

257
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 1: the injured guys in the locker room, going, bro, you

258
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,719
Speaker 1: know you, how close are you? You know they're going

259
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 1: ye know, I'm not saying you gotta play hurt, but

260
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 1: I'm saying you gotta play hurt. You know we need you.

261
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 1: You gotta make it. You know, you got to make

262
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 1: an effort that That's that's what happens in games like this,

263
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 1: you know, And that's I don't know that. Here's the

264
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 1: thing too, that this is this get both these teams.

265
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 1: It is almost inevitable that they are going to see

266
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 1: each other in three months. It is all. It is

267
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 1: a train coming down the tracks. This is a precursor,

268
00:13:55,480 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 1: This is a whatever that is to that. Oh, neither

269
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 1: of these This game is almost you know, it's not

270
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 1: meaningless because it does mean a lot, right you want

271
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,079
Speaker 1: to say it. But the margin of air for both

272
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,440
Speaker 1: these clubs is it's a mile wide.

273
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 2: The Chiefs, well, yeah, yeah, the Chiefs.

274
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 1: Lose this game. They're like, okay, let's go. You know,

275
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 1: we'll get the next one right and the Bills, I

276
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 1: mean four twenty five Jets and Dolphins lose again on

277
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 1: at one o'clock game, it's like, yeah, well, you know

278
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 1: what I mean, It's like, ah, so man, this this

279
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: is complicated. I am very conflicted about this game, you

280
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 1: know what I mean.

281
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 2: I think you just have to come back to It'll

282
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 2: feel good if they win. Yeah, so there is maybe

283
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 2: just come back.

284
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 1: To that if they win, particularly if they go in

285
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 1: there like half a roster and wine.

286
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 2: Some other Bills notes for you. Greg Russeau, who had

287
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 2: in studio yesterday, made an NFL dot com list for

288
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 2: under the radar Pro Bowl candidates. Here's what they wrote

289
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 2: about Rousseau. Russeau's career has been building to this season.

290
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 2: The uber talented athlete has been a menace through ten games.

291
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 2: Seemingly every play, there's number fifty flying onto the screen,

292
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 2: hitting a ball carrier, swiping at a quarterback, tipping a pass,

293
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 2: or skunking a play. It's five and a half sacks

294
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 2: put the former first round pick on pace for a

295
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 2: career high, and his twelve tackles for loss or tide

296
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 2: for an NFL high with three time Pro bowler and

297
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 2: Defensive Player of the Year candidate Trey Hendrickson. He's been

298
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 2: a flash, generating thirty six quarterback pressures and twenty of

299
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 2: those pressures are of the quick variety in the first

300
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 2: two and a half seconds of a play, tied for

301
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 2: fifth most in the NFL. The only players above him

302
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 2: in that metric Miles Garrett, Hendrickson, daneil Hunter, and Brian Burns.

303
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 2: That's the type of getoff group Rousseau is surrounding himself

304
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 2: with in twenty twenty four. I think he does have

305
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 2: a good look at a Pro Bowl.

306
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 1: He is playing first of his career. He is playing

307
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 1: very well and steady as well. It's not just once

308
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 1: in a while, Oh, it's week week after week. Had

309
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 1: the big play last week, drive after drive. He sets

310
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 1: the edge. He's been very good in the run game.

311
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: You can't get wide, you know, it's hard to get

312
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 1: wide on him when the run game. Yeah, he has played.

313
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 1: He has had a very very good seasons thus far.

314
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 2: Our good friend Cynthia Freeland from NFL Network laid out

315
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 2: win projections for all thirty two NFL teams and at

316
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 2: the top of the AFC are the Chiefs and the Bills,

317
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 2: ironically enough, in a week where they will be facing

318
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 2: off against one another. Here's how things lay out. The

319
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 2: Chiefs project out at fourteen point eight wins at season's end.

320
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 2: Try to stomach the tenth the tenth place here with

321
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 2: the decimals. She's got their ceiling at seventeen wins, going

322
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 2: un beating their floor at thirteen and a half. She's

323
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 2: got the Bills at twelve point seven wins. By season's end,

324
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 2: they're ceiling thirteen point nine victories fourteen their floor twelve

325
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 2: point four wins. She also mentioned that the only game

326
00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 2: left on the chief schedule that she does does not

327
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:04,160
Speaker 2: have the Chiefs favorite to win is this Sunday's matchup

328
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 2: against the Bills, and they still win that game. In

329
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 2: forty five point six percent of simulations, the Chiefs Week

330
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:13,159
Speaker 2: eighteen game against the Broncos in Denver could swing to

331
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 2: a projected loss if they're resting starters. And here's the

332
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 2: thing with the first round by the Chiefs earn the

333
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:24,639
Speaker 2: extremely valuable first round by in sixty seven percent of

334
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 2: pre week eleven simulations should they upset the Bills in Buffalo,

335
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,200
Speaker 2: because the Bills are a two point favorite. I think

336
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 2: that number moves up to seventy eight percent. If they

337
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,400
Speaker 2: lose to the Bills, they would still earn the number

338
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 2: one seed in sixty three percent of simulations. So even

339
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 2: if the Bills win, according to Cynthia Frielan's models, the

340
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:51,920
Speaker 2: Chiefs would still have a sixty three percent chance of

341
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 2: taking the one seed. Sure, and it's due largely to

342
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 2: the fact that their schedule is not daunting outside and

343
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 2: maybe playing in Houston and Pittsburgh at the end of

344
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:03,440
Speaker 2: the year and Denver might be tough because they'll be

345
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:04,920
Speaker 2: all sore about last week's game.

346
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,440
Speaker 1: I'm still hooked up on, you know, on the AFC

347
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:11,719
Speaker 1: East and that, and all the all three teams. The

348
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 1: Dolphins are at home against the Raiders, the Patriots are

349
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,159
Speaker 1: at home. They're against the Rams, however, and the Jets

350
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 1: are at home. So all three of those teams and

351
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:23,199
Speaker 1: the Bills are all playing at home this weekend. Jets

352
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:26,880
Speaker 1: against the Colts, Patriots are up against it with the Rams,

353
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 1: and of course the Dolphins are playing the two and

354
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:33,719
Speaker 1: seven Raiders and Gardner Minshew so and the Dolphins are

355
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:37,120
Speaker 1: hitting their stride. You can bet the better defense they're

356
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:38,640
Speaker 1: gonna climb back into this race.

357
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:44,440
Speaker 2: Here here is another interesting note Steve concerning the MVP race.

358
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 2: I think we all can agree that Lamar Jackson is

359
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 2: the favorite, but according to Cynthia, no quarterback has a

360
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 2: higher win share of value this season than Josh Allen.

361
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,920
Speaker 2: Between the run first strategy of Joe Brady, the offensive

362
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 2: line being one of the best in the league, and

363
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 2: Allen's unique blend of arm strength smart rushing, the Bills

364
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 2: have been able to not just withstand, but thrive. They

365
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 2: hold the commanding lead in the AFC East, even though

366
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:12,440
Speaker 2: they've been without top receivers due to injury. Undergone big

367
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 2: changes on defense, especially in the spine of the defense

368
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 2: with new starting safeties and lost Pro Plour Bowl linebacker

369
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,920
Speaker 2: Matt Malano in camp, though we could be returning soon.

370
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 2: Greg Russo has really stepped up thirty six pressures. The

371
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,879
Speaker 2: Bills had to deal with cap constraints and lean on

372
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:32,119
Speaker 2: their homegrown guys.

373
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,439
Speaker 1: They've delivered, Yes, they have, and we that's been the

374
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:39,919
Speaker 1: story of this season about how guys who kind of

375
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 1: the Bills discovered and you know, are now leaning on

376
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 1: in they're eighteen two. That's that's been fun and that's Brandon.

377
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,159
Speaker 1: Bean's got a they had to nail this draft. He

378
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 1: set it way before the draft happened, and now he's

379
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,679
Speaker 1: got his feet up on his desk, you know.

380
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, And as much as you know, we've talked on

381
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 2: this show about Coach of the Year and how McDermott's

382
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 2: been passed over a couple of times and he was

383
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,160
Speaker 2: very deserving. What about Executive of the Year? I mean,

384
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 2: Bean's got to be in the running for that.

385
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll say this that this iteration of the Bills

386
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:17,879
Speaker 1: is probably it's been impressive in the way they've done it.

387
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 1: Josh has changed his game. He is not the same

388
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:22,879
Speaker 1: quarterback he has been in the last three or four

389
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 1: years where he's been, you know, this superman. He has

390
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 1: changed his game. They're eight and two. As a result,

391
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,120
Speaker 1: he's starting to trust the guys around him and letting

392
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,399
Speaker 1: guys help him so he doesn't have to play like

393
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:36,680
Speaker 1: he had a twenty one yard scramble for a third

394
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 1: down conversion a third and long and he scrambles for

395
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: twenty one yards last week, And remember how you felt

396
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 1: it was like, oh my gosh, he's still you know,

397
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 1: you don't you haven't second still happened. He hasn't seen it.

398
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,920
Speaker 1: His and his as interceptions are way down. Don't think

399
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 1: that's not as a concerted effort and a decision by Josh.

400
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 1: He's I'm not going to do it. And that has

401
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 1: been the difference with the statistics he has. This has

402
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:06,880
Speaker 1: been since since he became who he is in twenty twenty.

403
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 1: This is his most pedestrian statistical season. But they're eight

404
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,640
Speaker 1: and two off to their best start ever, and it's

405
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 1: because he has transformed his own game, the run game,

406
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,200
Speaker 1: Joe Brady in is play calling, and all these new

407
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:25,640
Speaker 1: faces guys in and out of the lineup, Josh and

408
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott as well on the coaching staff. They have

409
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 1: absolutely been had their most impressive season to date, not

410
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:34,679
Speaker 1: just because of the one loss record, but because of

411
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 1: how well they've played being something other than we thought

412
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:42,920
Speaker 1: they could be. Josh in particular, I just it's been

413
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:44,680
Speaker 1: really impressive to me and I think you got it

414
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: now we're, you know, ten games into this kind of

415
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 1: gott to tip your hat to him, you really do.

416
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 1: It's been great to see guys like you know, Ray

417
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 1: Davis stepping in and being the guy he has been

418
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 1: cook and the offensive line. Of course, they've all helped

419
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 1: Josh just kind of almost keep a lid on his

420
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 1: you know, on his Superman stuff. You know what I mean.

421
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 1: It's been impressive because that don't think that hasn't been

422
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 1: a deliberate strategy. I think it has and it's worked,

423
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 1: and it has worked.

424
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 2: Hard to argue with it, it can't argue with it.

425
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:29,399
Speaker 2: Let's go around the NFL Presented by Kalida Healthy, official

426
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 2: healthcare system of the Buffalo Bills, Thursday Night Football features

427
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 2: the seven and two Eagles and the seven and three Commanders,

428
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,119
Speaker 2: As just a half game separates these two teams atop

429
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 2: the NFC East. Both Washington and Philadelphia enter the game,

430
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:46,360
Speaker 2: obviously with seven victories, two and zero records in the division.

431
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 2: First meeting of these teams in which both enter the

432
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 2: game four plus games over five hundred since Week twelve

433
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 2: of the nineteen ninety six season. It's been a minute

434
00:22:58,840 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 2: good for particular.

435
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,119
Speaker 1: Bless their heart. I'm not trying to be kind of it,

436
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 1: because that's listen, that's a big game. Oh yeah, because

437
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:09,639
Speaker 1: I listen, I grew up with this kind of stuff

438
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 1: going on. Yeah, I mean this.

439
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 2: Is Eagles have won five of the last six meetings,

440
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 2: but it's a little different now with Jaden Daniels running

441
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:18,959
Speaker 2: the show. Washington.

442
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:21,399
Speaker 1: Washington can move the ball and score some points, and

443
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 1: that's new. That is new.

444
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 2: Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said he isn't concerned about a

445
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 2: former player's comments about his team's mental toughness. Did you

446
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 2: see this? Oh brother. On an appearance on the Punchline podcast,

447
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh Steelers safety to Shaun Elliott, former Dolphin, said he

448
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 2: was looking forward to playing the Ravens this week because

449
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:45,399
Speaker 2: the team he played on last year, the Dolphins, was

450
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 2: soft as blank. Elliott was part of a Miami team

451
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,160
Speaker 2: that went eleven and six last season, but the Dolphins

452
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 2: lost fifty six to twenty to the Ravens late and

453
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 2: late in the season last year, and it helped the

454
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 2: Bills walk them down at the end to the year

455
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 2: and steal the AFC's title from them. Speaking on the podcast,

456
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 2: which is hosted by Raven's cornerback Marlon Humphrey, Elliott called

457
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 2: out the majority of last year's Dolphins team quote, there

458
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:15,679
Speaker 2: were some guys who were tough, but the majority of

459
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 2: the team were not mentally tough individuals. So to be

460
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 2: on a Steelers team with a team full of mentally

461
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 2: tough guys going against a mentally tough team, this is

462
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 2: going to be fun. McDaniel chose not to address it.

463
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 2: When he was asked the question, he quickly diverted and

464
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 2: changed the subject. But Steve, I know there have been

465
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 2: discussions even between you and me about how mentally tough

466
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:44,359
Speaker 2: is that team When the going gets tough, what happens?

467
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:47,880
Speaker 1: I get it. I'll say this though. The Dolphins bring

468
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:49,920
Speaker 1: some things to the table, no question about it. And

469
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 1: the old adage is that your team becomes a reflection

470
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 1: of who you are, of the head coach. They become

471
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 1: a reflection of his personality and how he does things.

472
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,159
Speaker 1: Meanor Mike Tomlin the Steelers, perfect example, John Harbaugh and

473
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:08,359
Speaker 1: the Ravens perfect example. Jim Harbaugh and the LA Chargers

474
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 1: a perfect example, the Buffalo Bills and Andy Reid. I'll

475
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 1: say this, the best teams are the ones that are

476
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:19,400
Speaker 1: really smart. Mike McDaniels is a really smart coach, and

477
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 1: but his personality is one of a thinker. Yeah, and

478
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 1: not a fighter. McDermott. I mean the good grief. The

479
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:31,399
Speaker 1: guy's a former wrestler. I mean, he's he's got grit

480
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:33,640
Speaker 1: coming out of his pores, same with these other guys,

481
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 1: you know, But that's not Mike McDaniel's saying. So you

482
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 1: can make a generalization like that. But I don't know.

483
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 1: The Dolphins still look pretty tough to beat. They were eleven.

484
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:44,160
Speaker 1: It's they were in the playoffs.

485
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:46,199
Speaker 2: Nic went over the Rams on Monday night.

486
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 1: I mean, they look so you can you know, he

487
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 1: can say what he wants, but.

488
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:52,880
Speaker 2: Well, it's easy to say when you're on another team

489
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:54,639
Speaker 2: that's seven and two, right, and you're trying to the

490
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:56,640
Speaker 2: team you left is three and six, right.

491
00:25:57,840 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 1: But hey, all these teams take a dip when the

492
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 1: when the top guy goes down, when the quarterback goes down.

493
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 1: That's what happened to Miami again.

494
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 2: Patriots stand out Christian Barmore, defensive tackle. He's been on

495
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:12,159
Speaker 2: the shelf all season due to a non football illness

496
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:17,199
Speaker 2: when they discovered blood clots in his cardiovascular system. Fortunately,

497
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 2: the athletic training staff and medical staff and the Patriots

498
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:25,199
Speaker 2: discovered that because that's potentially lethal and deadly, so he

499
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:28,200
Speaker 2: was on the non football illness list. He is practicing

500
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 2: today for the first time. Since the medical condition was

501
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 2: revealed way back in September, which is nice to see.

502
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 1: That's scary. Yeah, that's that's bad stuff, and you know.

503
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:42,879
Speaker 2: It's potentially fatal, like especially with all the knocks that

504
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 2: defensive linemen take.

505
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 1: He knows better than the Bills fans and Bill's organization

506
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 1: how important it is to have top medical people ready

507
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:52,399
Speaker 1: when you need them and to uncover something like this.

508
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:55,919
Speaker 2: I mean that, you know, very very fortunate.

509
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 1: You saved the guy's life just with a diagnosis.

510
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 2: Probably so I would imagine, I'm not a doctor. I

511
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 2: would imagine he's on blood thinners and other things that

512
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 2: allow him to return.

513
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:10,440
Speaker 1: Which opens up other problems. Well, it does so, particularly.

514
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 2: Probably less so than the main affliction.

515
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:14,160
Speaker 1: Absolutely, absolutely.

516
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 2: And then finally, the NFL Combine is going to stay

517
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 2: in Indianapolis another year through twenty twenty six. The NFL

518
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 2: announced today their current contract with Lucas Oil Stadium only

519
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 2: ran through the twenty twenty five combine next February, so

520
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 2: this extends it another year, which has kind of been

521
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:32,919
Speaker 2: the way it's gone the last few years. They kind

522
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 2: of keep tacking on one year extensions. They desperately want

523
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,959
Speaker 2: to have a better idea for the combine, but they

524
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:40,399
Speaker 2: obviously haven't formulated The.

525
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 1: Problem is the combine, isn't it's harder to put on

526
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:44,880
Speaker 1: than a game by far?

527
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, because I got over three hundred and fifty athletes.

528
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,640
Speaker 1: And take not only have three hundred and fifty athletes,

529
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:54,400
Speaker 1: but you got to have MRI machines, X ray machines

530
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,680
Speaker 1: and all these medical professionals, all these tests, E cage,

531
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 1: all the stuff, every possible medical test you can run,

532
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:04,680
Speaker 1: you gotta have it available on that day. And that

533
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 1: in and of itself precludes a lot of places from

534
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:12,639
Speaker 1: even putting in a bid because everything everybody else who

535
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:16,440
Speaker 1: needs medical care, I'm sorry, we're looking at football players today. Yeah,

536
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:21,119
Speaker 1: like what that's a hard thing, right, So Indianapolis is

537
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 1: set up for it, nobody else is, but the league

538
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 1: still wants to hang it out there, Like if anybody

539
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 1: wants to like bid on this and give us more money. Yeah,

540
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:34,399
Speaker 1: maybe before we go to break.

573
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 4: Yeleman, how are we doing on this glorious Thursday. It

574
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 4: feels like a big game to me this week, and

575
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 4: I'm fired up for Sunday afternoon. Up there, Lovely Orchard

576
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:40,960
Speaker 4: part Mark.

577
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 1: It's easy enough to you. I was looking at your

578
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:49,479
Speaker 1: fantasy football list. There's zero Chiefs and zero Bills on

579
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 1: your fantasy lineup. Not that I'm disappointed, but I'm disappointed.

580
00:30:56,800 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 4: I swore off imember. I almost borderline swore off Bill's

581
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 4: picks in my line because there was a week where

582
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 4: I went big and spent all this money on Josh Allen,

583
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 4: and I believe it was the game in which they

584
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 4: played against the Ravens, so you know it was a

585
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 4: courtesy to you, buffle of Bill's mafia. I decided nothing

586
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 4: to do that anymore. So, while I love Josh and

587
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 4: he is the quarterback of at least two of my

588
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 4: most prominent teams of fantasy this year, I'm trying to

589
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 4: make sure that a hedge against the possibility of being

590
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 4: known in Western New York as the bad luck charm.

591
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 4: So I am here to be nothing more than the

592
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 4: good luck charm. And frankly, guys, while the Chiefs are

593
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 4: nine and oh, they have not been chucked full of

594
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 4: fantasy football superstars for much of this year, as Patrick

595
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 4: Mahomes has basically had one, I mean one good fantasy

596
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:44,720
Speaker 4: game all season long, just a remarkable way of getting

597
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 4: to nine and oh for this Chiefs team.

598
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 2: And meanwhile, the quarterback you picked this week is a

599
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 2: guy that a few years ago through for five thousand yards.

600
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 2: But under Jim Harball, that's not gonna happen anymore.

601
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 4: It's not gonna happen, although he is trending up of

602
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:01,959
Speaker 4: like that's Justin Herbert priced at seventy three hundred dollars

603
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 4: this weekend, you guys. Of course, last Thursday night. Watched

604
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 4: that Bang Ravens game. Right, that was an offensive shootout.

605
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 4: There was no defense being played. I'm not sure the

606
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 4: defense is going to be played at the Cincinnati side

607
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,480
Speaker 4: of the ball on Sunday night when the Chargers playoffs

608
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 4: to them. Good opportunity for Herbert to take advantage of

609
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 4: a really good matchup. And how about this. I don't

610
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 4: think any of us are going to say twenty seven

611
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 4: passing attempts is elite, elite volume, but Justin Herbert to

612
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 4: not throw the football more than twenty six times in

613
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 4: any of the first three games of the season. Over

614
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 4: their last six games, he's throw in the football twenty

615
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 4: seven or more times, five separate occasions. So we're seeing

616
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 4: a more pass heavy attempt the offense from Los Angeles

617
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 4: in a really good matchup. Let's get Justin Herbert into

618
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 4: the lineup, playing really well this season under Jim Harwais.

619
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 1: And then you're running back. One guy we know all

620
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 1: too well, the other not so much.

621
00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, Chase Brown from the Cincinnati Bank who everybody knows,

622
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 4: uh all right, said everybody knows him, I should say,

623
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 4: of these two running backs, but this is remarkable. He

624
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 4: probably reminds you Steve of a guy that you play

625
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 4: with during your career, probably several running backs that you

626
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 4: play with during your career. You know, we don't see

627
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 4: these running backs handling one hundred percent of the opportunities,

628
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 4: one hundred percent of the carries and one hundred percent

629
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:26,200
Speaker 4: of the targets amongst running backs. But Chase Brown, going

630
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 4: back the last two games, has handled every single Bengals

631
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 4: running back opportunity north to fifty straight. So that kind

632
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 4: of workload is wheat a game in which I forecast,

633
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 4: you know, a decent amount of points. And he had

634
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 4: nine catches last week as well. The Bengals can't really

635
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 4: run the football, but they throw the football to Chase

636
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 4: Brown a lot. And then Alvin Kamara priced at eighty

637
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 4: two hundred dollars the Saints, sir, and a little bit

638
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 4: of pickle themselves right now as far as pass catchers

639
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 4: are concerned, because a lot of injuries, whether it's Christo

640
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 4: lave Rashid Shihi, guys have been banged up left and right.

641
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 4: Even said Wilson, potentially the third wide receiver in this offense,

642
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 4: he has been hurt. So Alvin Kamara stands to benefit,

643
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 4: you know, he's going to be the number one running

644
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:11,240
Speaker 4: back in the Saints offense. There's a chance he's also

645
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:14,400
Speaker 4: the number one mass catcher in this offense too, given

646
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 4: all the injury they have right now.

647
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:19,319
Speaker 2: All right, and then looking down your wide receiver list,

648
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 2: some big names here and guys that have really surged

649
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:26,759
Speaker 2: in terms of game by game production. Every one of

650
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 2: these guys has been relatively hot. I'm surprised you were

651
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 2: able to get them all under your budget.

652
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, we did some smart shopping this week. It felt

653
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:36,759
Speaker 4: like we'll start with Pooka Nakua priced at eighty three

654
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 4: hundred dollars against the Patriots on Sunday, and the coup

655
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:42,880
Speaker 4: is actually, believe it or not playing two full games

656
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:46,000
Speaker 4: this season. He left Week one against the Lions with

657
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 4: that knee injury that ended up costing him close to

658
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 4: half the season, and then against Seattle he threw a

659
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:53,959
Speaker 4: punch before halftime and got kicked out of the game.

660
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 4: So Pukakaku has played just two full games this year

661
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:59,480
Speaker 4: and scored north of eighteen Fantasy points in each of

662
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 4: those two get games. When you see his per game average,

663
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,959
Speaker 4: that's skewed by the fact that he has been really

664
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:07,440
Speaker 4: limited in two other games. You know, his pay Priots

665
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:09,840
Speaker 4: defense playing a little bit better of lads and Chrichigan

666
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:13,280
Speaker 4: Zales certainly looks like a bona fide all ro level cornerback.

667
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:15,880
Speaker 4: But I don't know how much he will see Puku

668
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:18,480
Speaker 4: Naku or will see of him, as they also have

669
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:21,520
Speaker 4: Cooper cups. So it's kind of a dividing conquer approach

670
00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:25,360
Speaker 4: every single week for a team's top cornerback against the Rams, pookah,

671
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:28,480
Speaker 4: really good player, really good opportunity, tons of volume. Rick

672
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 4: Pickens finds himself in a really really good spot, which,

673
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 4: of course for fantasy football probably means he'll score, you know,

674
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:37,359
Speaker 4: two points. However, on paper it looks like a great opportunity,

675
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:40,240
Speaker 4: really good With Russell Wilson and his three games together,

676
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:42,960
Speaker 4: he's scored two touchdowns, He's had one hundred yards in

677
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 4: a game. Uh, and this is the gift that keeps

678
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:49,840
Speaker 4: on giving. Are as, the Ravens pass defense is concerned, terrible,

679
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:52,880
Speaker 4: terrible pass defense for almost every game this season. We

680
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:56,279
Speaker 4: saw it again last Thursday night. There are ways in

681
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:58,360
Speaker 4: which you can imagine the Ravens getting better in the

682
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 4: pass defense. Hasn't happen yet, So George Pickens once again

683
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 4: finds himself in a great spot. And then finally Cortland Sutton.

684
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:06,799
Speaker 4: You know, early on in the year we saw a

685
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 4: ton of volume for Courtland Sutton. That's really good. The

686
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 4: problem was connection with Bo Nicks was just off. It

687
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:15,879
Speaker 4: was very bizarre. But Bo has been a much more

688
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:18,920
Speaker 4: effective quarterback throwing the football down the field over the

689
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 4: past three games. It's coincided with Courtland Sutton getting hot

690
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 4: against Atlanta, a team that's unafraid to deploy its corners

691
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:29,960
Speaker 4: as shadow cornerbacks, kind of manning up a top wide receiver,

692
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 4: but not with great results. They have not been much

693
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 4: of a deterrent to opposing top receivers this year. So

694
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 4: the price tag there, Kuka Nakula eighty three hundred bucks,

695
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:42,279
Speaker 4: George Pickens, that's seventy five hundred dollars. Finally Courtland Sutton

696
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:44,400
Speaker 4: at just sixty eight hundred dollars, a really nice slate

697
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:45,920
Speaker 4: of free wide receivers right there.

698
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:49,319
Speaker 1: And then of course the tight end Mike Kasiki back

699
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 1: into that matchup between the Chargers and the Bengals.

700
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:56,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, so this is an easy pivot one here in

701
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:59,000
Speaker 4: the event that t Higgins does play and sounds like

702
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:00,920
Speaker 4: there's a chance at the very least that T Higgins

703
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:04,440
Speaker 4: will play on Sunday night. But Gasiki without T Higgins

704
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 4: has been awesome. He has been basically their number two

705
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:10,840
Speaker 4: target if he, meaning Tea plays on Sunday night, and

706
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:13,440
Speaker 4: we get that information early in the morning on Sunday,

707
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 4: got an easy pivot to john Us Smith for the Dolphins, who,

708
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 4: in an offense that also features Tyreek Hill and Jayalen Waddell,

709
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 4: has apparently become the most trusted pass catchers. So wanted

710
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:26,920
Speaker 4: to give you some optionality there, But Kasiki price it

711
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 4: fifty four hundred dollars would be a really good bargain.

712
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:33,760
Speaker 4: If Higgins is unavailable to play on Sunday evening, then.

713
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:37,280
Speaker 2: Your flex is you know a guy that has unequivocally

714
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 2: taken over the number one role since DeAndre Hopkins headed

715
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:40,760
Speaker 2: to Kansas City.

716
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 4: That's right, it's Calvin Ridley, who in three games since

717
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:49,600
Speaker 4: DeAndre Hopkins was traded, has twenty catches and thirty three targets.

718
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:53,239
Speaker 4: The guy has been remarkably busy and two touchdowns last

719
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:56,279
Speaker 4: Sunday against the Chargers, had a game well north of

720
00:37:56,320 --> 00:38:00,480
Speaker 4: one hundred receiving yards as well. You know, when the

721
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:03,200
Speaker 4: uh Titans paid twenty three million dollars per year this

722
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:06,440
Speaker 4: offseason to sign Calvin Gridley, your thought process immediately went

723
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:08,920
Speaker 4: to that guy should be really busy. Well for the

724
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:12,520
Speaker 4: first fixed games of the season, he was not so busy.

725
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 4: It's about time they get their money's worth, and that

726
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:17,760
Speaker 4: seems to be where things have landed right now. Also

727
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:20,320
Speaker 4: worth noting the Vikings have allowed the fifth most fantasy

728
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:24,000
Speaker 4: points opposing wide receivers. You know, probably the reality there

729
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:26,880
Speaker 4: is that they are constantly playing with the lead, or

730
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:29,680
Speaker 4: at least Minnesota was for much of their first five

731
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:32,839
Speaker 4: games of the season, hasn't been quite nominated of late.

732
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 4: I get the feeling though, they'll be able to take

733
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:38,480
Speaker 4: care of business against Tennessee on Sunday, so game script

734
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:40,160
Speaker 4: could work out well in Calvin.

735
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 1: Gridley's And then the finally, the defense to the Indianapolis

736
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:46,920
Speaker 1: Colts is this is this a vote of confidence for

737
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 1: the Colts defense or a lack of faith in the

738
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:50,720
Speaker 1: New York Jet offense.

739
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 4: We're both, Yeah, probably a little more of the latter,

740
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:56,880
Speaker 4: but definitely definitely both involved here. You know, Colts, the

741
00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 4: Colts have like, you know, feard of defense at time.

742
00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:03,919
Speaker 4: This season, they've just been kind of like the Jets, inconsistent,

743
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:07,560
Speaker 4: and so I'm down here right. This is a thirty three,

744
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:11,480
Speaker 4: one hundred dollars investment, very minimal for this cold defense.

745
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 4: But you are betting on the possibility that the Jets

746
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 4: look like they did last week. And by the way,

747
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:19,479
Speaker 4: Tyron Smith, they're starting left tackle, could be out this week,

748
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:21,880
Speaker 4: which would open the door to likely Old lou Fashion,

749
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:24,880
Speaker 4: their first round pick making a start at left tackle.

750
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:29,080
Speaker 4: Beyond that, DeVante Adams, when I checked practice tweets about

751
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 4: I don't know an hour or so ago was not

752
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:33,480
Speaker 4: spotted for the Jets for the second straight day. He's

753
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:35,880
Speaker 4: been sick, but also as a risk injury. As we

754
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:38,400
Speaker 4: know with the Maari Cooper these risk injuries can legitimately

755
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:42,200
Speaker 4: limit or prevent wide receivers from playing on Sundays. So

756
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:46,719
Speaker 4: you guys probably know this, but you know the Jets

757
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:49,400
Speaker 4: are hard offense to trust, which makes the Colts defense

758
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 4: more trustable.

759
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:54,239
Speaker 2: All right, Field, we thank you as always. That is

760
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 2: the Week eleven lineup.

761
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:55,920
Speaker 3: Guys.

762
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:57,960
Speaker 2: We'll take it to the bank. We'll catch you next week.

763
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:03,320
Speaker 2: That is Field Yates US ESPN, NFL Insider Fantasy Football

764
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:10,520
Speaker 2: analyst with his ultimate fantasy lineup presented by Fan Duels.

765
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:13,160
Speaker 2: Colts defense might actually get a few sacks in that

766
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:15,840
Speaker 2: one maybe. I mean they have pass rushers, It's not

767
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:16,840
Speaker 2: like they're devoid of passer.

768
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:20,960
Speaker 1: If they do, they're don't forget they're sacking on like

769
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:24,040
Speaker 1: I'm exaggerating, They're sacking a little old man who's fragile.

770
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:29,000
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers man. He has taken a beating this year.

771
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 2: A little old man. He is fragile. That's he just

772
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:33,799
Speaker 2: said that.

773
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:36,720
Speaker 1: I know he's not a little old man who's fragile,

774
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:39,840
Speaker 1: but he is forty and we have seen him in

775
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:43,479
Speaker 1: the first half of this season hobbling around hurt after

776

777
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:51,680

778
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:53,800
Speaker 1: the Colts giving up, you know, thirty points of the

779
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:58,280
Speaker 1: Bills last week. Their defensive front is legit. We'll see.

780

Speaker 2: We do have We have a practice update for you

781

782
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:09,960
Speaker 2: Dolmkincaid Spencer Brown both not practicing again today, it would appear,

783
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:14,120
Speaker 2: so we'll wait for the Thursday injury report to come out.

784
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:16,279

785
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:18,960

Speaker 2: Amari Cooper was doing slightly more than he was doing yesterday.

787
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:26,680
Speaker 2: We'll see what that means, although he'll probably still have

788
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:32,319
Speaker 2: the limited designation going forward. We have to take a

812
00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:17,360
Speaker 2: mixing sweet and heat is kind of the the fad

813
00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:20,640
Speaker 2: these days, and they did that here, like the sweetness

814
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:22,799
Speaker 2: of the apple with the buffalo sauce that is.

815
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:25,600
Speaker 1: And there's cinnamons sprinkle on that, right.

816
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:29,719
Speaker 2: I see cinnamon and I think I think these might

817
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:33,640
Speaker 2: be it's either at a mamma or pumpkin seeds. And

818
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:36,200
Speaker 2: then there's some marugola on there as well with the

819
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:42,560
Speaker 2: bree and they kind of lightly melt the bree. It's

820
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:45,920
Speaker 2: not completely melted, but it's just kind of softened up.

821
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:47,400
Speaker 2: So the bree, isn't it.

822
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:50,960
Speaker 1: We've been doing this these reads on this Friday lunch thing,

823
00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:53,360
Speaker 1: and snap Dragon has been on board with this has

824
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:56,240
Speaker 1: been great. They are incredibly creative.

825
00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:59,000
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh. Yeah, I couldn't have thought of this, right,

826
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:02,640
Speaker 2: I will say this, I think one of the most

827
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:11,359
Speaker 2: underrated greeneries on a plate. It has vaulted to the

828
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:16,719
Speaker 2: top of my favorite salad list. Oh yeah, like you

829
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:21,280
Speaker 2: just get a simple arugula salad with some lemon dressing.

830
00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:24,600
Speaker 2: Come on, man, So to see this on the Flatbird

831
00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 2: pizzas me very excited. So I will be devouring this

832
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:27,839
Speaker 2: in the.

833
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:29,400
Speaker 1: Break thanks to the snap Dragon people.

834
00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:32,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, so thumbs up on the decision to put a

835
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:37,920
Speaker 2: arugola on here, because I'm I'm all about that, and

836
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:42,560
Speaker 2: our viewers on MSG are seeing some of the presentation

837
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:48,040
Speaker 2: here from I mean, it looks sharp, man, so I

838
00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:50,560
Speaker 2: want to I didn't get one of the barbecue sauce once.

839
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:53,440
Speaker 2: I gotta try that too, because I like the sweet

840
00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:55,800
Speaker 2: and the heat with the buffalo sauce and the apple slices.

841
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:59,840
Speaker 2: But I'm curious if the tanginess of the barbecue sauce

842
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:05,719
Speaker 2: changes the complexion of the flavor here. Okay, all right,

843
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:09,920
Speaker 2: it's an interesting take two on this exactly. So yeah,

844
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:13,640
Speaker 2: as we said, snap Dragon Apple dot Com, if you

845
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:17,600

00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:42,719

Speaker 2: is part of the NFL Today pregame show. And those

856
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:48,279
Speaker 2: fine folks are going to be out here and lots six.

857
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:48,959
Speaker 1: They're setting today.

858
00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:50,960
Speaker 2: So oh yeah, the truck rolled in today and here

859
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:54,160
Speaker 2: they go. Uh that's it's like they got their own roadies.

860
00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:57,320
Speaker 1: We said it. It's not just us all. They're treating

861
00:45:57,400 --> 00:45:59,839
Speaker 1: us like a playoff game. They really are. Oh yeah,

862
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:03,680
Speaker 1: networks are, the fans are, everybody is, except for the

863
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:05,439
Speaker 1: guys in the locker room. They're like, that's just another game.

864
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:12,400
Speaker 1: Here we go. Yeah, okay, it's true, fair enough, unbelievable.

865
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:14,440
Speaker 2: I don't know if I believe, I don't believe.

866
00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:15,520
Speaker 1: I don't believe you.

867
00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:18,879
Speaker 2: That's kind of where I'm at. It's just another game.

868
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:25,080
Speaker 2: So we shall see. I will say that one thing

869
00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:29,799
Speaker 2: that I'm curious to ask Eric about is how he

870
00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:34,960
Speaker 2: thinks the Chiefs are going to defend the six offensive

871
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:38,480
Speaker 2: lineman looks from Buffalo on offense. We know they use

872
00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:42,040
Speaker 2: that personnel grouping more than any other team in football.

873
00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:45,640
Speaker 2: Fifteen percent of their offensive snaps they utilize that, and

874
00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:48,160
Speaker 2: it's worked for them. They're averaging about five yards of

875
00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 2: five yards per carry when they run out of that formation.

876
00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:53,560
Speaker 2: But they will also use play action out of it,

877
00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:57,000
Speaker 2: as we saw last week against Indy. So I'm gonna

878
00:46:57,080 --> 00:47:00,680
Speaker 2: I'm definitely gonna be asking him, Hey, how are the

879
00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:03,040
Speaker 2: Chiefs gonna handle that? Do you think? So I'm curious

880
00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:08,479
Speaker 2: for his answer on that subject because it's, like I said,

881
00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:11,319
Speaker 2: it's worked, well, it's worked almost every week. I mean,

882
00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:15,680
Speaker 2: it's like a it's quickly becoming a staple of the

883
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:19,680
Speaker 2: game plan. It's not always the main focus, but it's

884
00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:22,080
Speaker 2: a staple. And knowing that the Chiefs have the number

885
00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:25,560
Speaker 2: three run defense in football, do the Bills use it

886
00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:27,480
Speaker 2: less or do they feel they need to use it

887
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:30,120
Speaker 2: more or do they just try something else completely?

888
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:32,600
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna They're gonna They're not gonna abandon it.

889
00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:35,760
Speaker 1: I wouldn't think that much of a part of their offense.

890
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:38,759
Speaker 1: In fact, they might have some wrinkles in there. No

891
00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:42,560
Speaker 1: question they're gonna be up against it with the Chiefs front.

892
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:45,359
Speaker 1: But if they can think about it, though, if they

893
00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:52,200
Speaker 1: can make it work and cripple the Chiefs run defense

894
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:55,799
Speaker 1: with that formation, they're they're gonna go to it a

895
00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:57,560
Speaker 1: ton because that you know, the Chiefs can lean on

896
00:47:57,560 --> 00:48:00,480
Speaker 1: their run defense, they can get them into third loans.

897
00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:04,080
Speaker 1: If they can't do it, that's a huge problem for.

898
00:48:04,080 --> 00:48:06,400
Speaker 2: The chick because here's the thing. I think. If the

899
00:48:06,480 --> 00:48:10,440
Speaker 2: Bills go to that and the Chiefs go into base

900
00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:14,880
Speaker 2: defense and bring Leo Chanel on the field with Bolton

901
00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:20,879
Speaker 2: and Tranquill and go three linebackers, there's your play action opportunity.

902
00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:27,640
Speaker 2: Now I think what changes is who is your play

903
00:48:27,640 --> 00:48:33,160
Speaker 2: action target and mismatch. And I think this is where

904
00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:37,760
Speaker 2: I would explore going two back, especially if you don't

905
00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:41,160
Speaker 2: have Kincaid, because now Kincaid is not your mismatch on

906
00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:44,000
Speaker 2: a linebacker. It's got to be a running back.

907
00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:47,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a lot of ifs hands are but I'll

908
00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:50,480
Speaker 1: say this to you, don't want to here's what we

909
00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:52,040
Speaker 1: get back into this what if and what if and

910
00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:54,640
Speaker 1: what if if the chief if the Bills are like, listen,

911
00:48:54,719 --> 00:48:56,640
Speaker 1: let's give them some stuff in this game that ain't

912
00:48:56,640 --> 00:48:58,440
Speaker 1: gonna help them in the playoffs when they meet us.

913
00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:02,719
Speaker 1: You know what I mean. Let's let's throw out some

914
00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:05,360
Speaker 1: packages that they got to prepare for in this game

915
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:08,319
Speaker 1: or that they haven't seen in this game, and see

916
00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:10,440
Speaker 1: how they handle it, and so we don't have to

917
00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:12,520
Speaker 1: go to that, so we can go back to our

918
00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:14,560
Speaker 1: base stuff in the playoffs and hit them, you know,

919
00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:16,560
Speaker 1: with the stuff we know we've got. If we're not

920
00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:19,239
Speaker 1: gonna play Cooper, if we're not gonna play Coleman, let's

921
00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:24,880
Speaker 1: beat them. Let's beat them with some finesse or some

922
00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:28,120
Speaker 1: some funky coaching thing or try to beat them. And

923
00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:29,759
Speaker 1: then we get back into the playoffs and we meet

924
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:31,440
Speaker 1: him again. Let's we'll go back and hit them where

925
00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:34,120
Speaker 1: we where we can really swing hard and do what

926
00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:37,960
Speaker 1: we do best. Of course, that's the intrigue.

927
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:39,600
Speaker 2: Well, it's easier said than done because you don't know

928
00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:40,759
Speaker 2: who the heck you're gonna have at the end of

929
00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:41,160
Speaker 2: the season.

930
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:42,239
Speaker 1: That's true in terms of.

931
00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:46,040
Speaker 5: Player of that's true so, but here's the yeah. But

932
00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:52,600
Speaker 5: I don't know, man, talk yourself into circles, right.

933
00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:55,120
Speaker 1: You can talk into circles? How do you? How do

934
00:49:55,160 --> 00:49:58,080
Speaker 1: you play it? Because neither of these teams are going anywhere.

935
00:49:58,120 --> 00:50:03,000
Speaker 1: They're both on the fast track to the playoffs and

936
00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:07,520
Speaker 1: another and another meeting in the playoffs.

937
00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:10,360
Speaker 2: We have to take a break here, we're at the

938
00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:12,800

Speaker 2: Center Eric Wood, who's also hosted The Center on Buffalo Podcast.

948
00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:28,600
Speaker 2: As we dice up Bill's Chiefs here, Eric and I

949
00:51:28,640 --> 00:51:30,840
Speaker 2: wanted to bounce this one off you because we've discussed

950
00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:33,040
Speaker 2: it on the broadcasts this season and on the show

951
00:51:33,040 --> 00:51:37,440
Speaker 2: when you've joined us here. But the six offensive lineman,

952
00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:40,080
Speaker 2: look that the Bills have deployed about fifteen percent of

953
00:51:40,120 --> 00:51:43,280
Speaker 2: their snaps. It's worked very well for them. They're amaging

954
00:51:43,280 --> 00:51:45,839
Speaker 2: about five yards of carry. Last week we saw them

955
00:51:45,840 --> 00:51:48,160
Speaker 2: work some play action off of it with some success.

956
00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:52,080
Speaker 2: The Chiefs are number three in run defense. You know

957
00:51:52,120 --> 00:51:55,480
Speaker 2: they're pretty good front. How do we think the Chiefs

958
00:51:55,560 --> 00:51:58,879
Speaker 2: come up with answers for that package?

959
00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:02,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd assume you could see base defense against it.

960
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:06,359
Speaker 3: But you know that that package works a number of

961
00:52:06,400 --> 00:52:10,080
Speaker 3: things at one So one, you get an extra blocker,

962
00:52:10,160 --> 00:52:12,440
Speaker 3: you get an extra O linement out there in the

963
00:52:12,520 --> 00:52:14,680
Speaker 3: run game. They've had great success to on it. It

964
00:52:14,719 --> 00:52:18,520
Speaker 3: can often distort the defense because are they counting him

965
00:52:18,560 --> 00:52:21,000
Speaker 3: as a tight end. It can often you know, if

966
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:23,759
Speaker 3: you use that with twelve personnel, which the Bills have done,

967
00:52:24,040 --> 00:52:26,879
Speaker 3: it makes it tough to be gap sound upfront. They've

968
00:52:26,880 --> 00:52:30,160
Speaker 3: also used Alec Anderson in motion this year, and that

969
00:52:30,200 --> 00:52:32,840
Speaker 3: could really compromise you know who has which gap on

970
00:52:32,920 --> 00:52:34,960
Speaker 3: the play when obviously when you when you when you

971
00:52:35,120 --> 00:52:38,640
Speaker 3: run play action, you're gonna get an extra blocker unless

972
00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:40,759
Speaker 3: you sent Alec Anderson out on a route, which they

973
00:52:40,800 --> 00:52:43,840
Speaker 3: have not done yet this season. But maybe at some

974
00:52:43,840 --> 00:52:46,279
Speaker 3: point we'll see a big man touchdown or a big

975
00:52:46,320 --> 00:52:50,280
Speaker 3: man catch get on Marcus Spears segment on that Monday

976
00:52:50,360 --> 00:52:52,759
Speaker 3: Night countdown. But and then another thing it does. And

977
00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:57,400
Speaker 3: I don't want this to be lost because Andrew or

978
00:52:57,920 --> 00:53:01,360
Speaker 3: yeah Edwards played that's spot last year and now he

979
00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:03,879
Speaker 3: hops in this year with a lot of experience being

980
00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:06,920
Speaker 3: on the field and so Alec Anderson being out there

981
00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:10,120
Speaker 3: for all those snaps this season, he's also gaining experience

982
00:53:10,200 --> 00:53:12,440
Speaker 3: running with the starters out there. He's been in a

983
00:53:12,480 --> 00:53:15,520
Speaker 3: game before, and so if he has to fill in,

984
00:53:15,920 --> 00:53:17,800
Speaker 3: and you know, I don't know that he's the backup

985
00:53:17,800 --> 00:53:20,640
Speaker 3: at all five spots. We saw Ryan Vandermark feeling at

986
00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:23,160
Speaker 3: first Spencer Brown last week, but I would assume he's

987
00:53:23,160 --> 00:53:25,600
Speaker 3: the backup for the interior three. Now you've got a

988
00:53:25,600 --> 00:53:27,759
Speaker 3: guy that's got a lot of reps on the field.

989
00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:30,279
Speaker 1: And you see this game coming up, and we were

990
00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:32,800
Speaker 1: just commenting on a minute go everybody in the everybody

991
00:53:32,840 --> 00:53:34,680
Speaker 1: is treating it as if it was a playoff game.

992
00:53:35,040 --> 00:53:36,879
Speaker 1: And the way it looks he's got these teams may

993
00:53:36,920 --> 00:53:39,319
Speaker 1: well meet in the playoffs. You know, they're both going

994
00:53:39,400 --> 00:53:41,320
Speaker 1: to get in if they can win a game or however,

995
00:53:41,360 --> 00:53:43,759
Speaker 1: it's going to happen that they meet again. Do you

996
00:53:43,800 --> 00:53:48,160
Speaker 1: coach this game differently kind of seeing that coming down

997
00:53:48,280 --> 00:53:50,480
Speaker 1: the pike. Do you put some wrinkles in this game

998
00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:53,480
Speaker 1: that are you particularly with the health of the roster.

999
00:53:53,600 --> 00:53:55,800
Speaker 1: You don't have Cooper, you don't have Keon Coleman, or

1000
00:53:55,800 --> 00:53:57,600
Speaker 1: you may not have Cooper, you don't have Keon Coleman.

1001
00:53:57,680 --> 00:53:59,799
Speaker 1: King Kaid's a question mark you go into this kind

1002
00:53:59,800 --> 00:54:05,040
Speaker 1: of you know, half loaded. Do you use this game

1003
00:54:05,080 --> 00:54:08,520
Speaker 1: as a precursor to as a brownie word, as a

1004
00:54:08,520 --> 00:54:11,680
Speaker 1: precursor to your matchup that you may or may not get.

1005
00:54:13,239 --> 00:54:15,520
Speaker 3: Well. I'll say this, and I've been peppered with this

1006
00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:18,839
Speaker 3: question all week. It's fascinating because the Bills have beat

1007
00:54:18,960 --> 00:54:21,440
Speaker 3: the Chiefs obviously in the regular season the last three seasons,

1008
00:54:21,480 --> 00:54:23,319
Speaker 3: and then two out of the last three years they

1009
00:54:23,320 --> 00:54:25,480
Speaker 3: got bounced by them in the playoffs. So are we

1010
00:54:25,520 --> 00:54:28,359
Speaker 3: showing them too much during the regular season? You know?

1011
00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:31,240
Speaker 3: Are we showing our hand and they're not showing theirs?

1012
00:54:31,440 --> 00:54:33,920
Speaker 3: I don't know that that's the case. Of course, stuff

1013
00:54:33,960 --> 00:54:36,279
Speaker 3: you run in this game could be a setup in

1014
00:54:36,360 --> 00:54:38,920
Speaker 3: the next one, especially if you run something effectively, if

1015
00:54:38,920 --> 00:54:41,279
Speaker 3: you're able to run six offensive line out there, and

1016
00:54:41,280 --> 00:54:43,560
Speaker 3: you're running that inside zone off of it that they run,

1017
00:54:43,680 --> 00:54:46,520
Speaker 3: so well, okay, well, then the play action off of

1018
00:54:46,560 --> 00:54:49,520
Speaker 3: it the next time should in turn work. Now. I

1019
00:54:49,560 --> 00:54:51,360
Speaker 3: don't think you hold anything back in this one, and

1020
00:54:51,400 --> 00:54:53,680
Speaker 3: I know this can be a fairly unpopular take if

1021
00:54:53,680 --> 00:54:56,560
Speaker 3: you search social media right now, but I don't think

1022
00:54:56,560 --> 00:54:58,800
Speaker 3: you hold anything back. You give the Chiefs a loss,

1023
00:54:58,960 --> 00:55:00,680
Speaker 3: who knows what happens to the right rest of the season,

1024
00:55:00,920 --> 00:55:04,080
Speaker 3: But you also have Pittsburgh, Baltimore and Houston right on

1025
00:55:04,120 --> 00:55:07,000
Speaker 3: your heels for that two seed, that three seed, and

1026
00:55:07,239 --> 00:55:09,040
Speaker 3: you know, if the Bills win the division, which I

1027
00:55:09,080 --> 00:55:11,399
Speaker 3: think it's something like ninety nine point nine percent chance

1028
00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:13,200
Speaker 3: they make the playoffs right now, I guess it's a

1029
00:55:13,239 --> 00:55:15,120
Speaker 3: little bit less than that that they win the division,

1030
00:55:15,160 --> 00:55:18,840
Speaker 3: But you want to host playoff games in January in Buffalo.

1031
00:55:18,960 --> 00:55:21,560
Speaker 3: So I don't think you hold anything back in this one.

1032
00:55:21,840 --> 00:55:24,160
Speaker 3: And we already know that Cooper's out if Coleman or

1033
00:55:24,239 --> 00:55:27,680
Speaker 3: Kinkaid can't go, but they're but those guys are available

1034
00:55:27,680 --> 00:55:29,680
Speaker 3: for the playoff game. If we were to face the Chiefs,

1035
00:55:29,840 --> 00:55:32,520
Speaker 3: it's gonna look like a totally different offense. Anyways without

1036
00:55:32,800 --> 00:55:35,320
Speaker 3: just naturally based upon the different personnel in that one.

1037
00:55:35,760 --> 00:55:38,799
Speaker 2: All right, so let's talk about player availability. Yes, it's

1038
00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:42,160
Speaker 2: very much up in the air right now. But let's

1039
00:55:42,200 --> 00:55:46,000
Speaker 2: just say, in the scorched Earth scenario where there's no

1040
00:55:46,120 --> 00:55:49,799
Speaker 2: Cooper or Kincaid along with Coleman this week, you're really

1041
00:55:49,800 --> 00:55:53,160
Speaker 2: getting down to bare bones. Is this a week where

1042
00:55:53,160 --> 00:55:57,040
Speaker 2: you could see James Cook finally factor a little bit

1043
00:55:57,080 --> 00:55:59,640
Speaker 2: more into the passing game to try to generate some

1044
00:55:59,760 --> 00:56:01,240
Speaker 2: kind of mismatch is out there?

1045
00:56:02,480 --> 00:56:05,280
Speaker 3: Yeah? I think so. In the vulnerability of this Chiefs

1046
00:56:05,360 --> 00:56:08,000
Speaker 3: defense in the past game is up the middle and

1047
00:56:08,080 --> 00:56:10,040
Speaker 3: they've given up the most yards the tight ends in

1048
00:56:10,080 --> 00:56:13,040
Speaker 3: the league this season, and so Dawson Knock certainly can

1049
00:56:13,080 --> 00:56:16,600
Speaker 3: still be a factor there at tight end, and then

1050
00:56:16,840 --> 00:56:18,959
Speaker 3: you know, getting James Cook maybe work in the middle

1051
00:56:18,960 --> 00:56:20,840
Speaker 3: of the field. Tyd Johnson had some nice catches in

1052
00:56:20,880 --> 00:56:22,920
Speaker 3: the playoff game from a year ago. He was a

1053
00:56:22,960 --> 00:56:25,200
Speaker 3: factor in the past game a week ago as well.

1054
00:56:25,239 --> 00:56:28,719
Speaker 3: He's turned into a great third down back, and the

1055
00:56:28,719 --> 00:56:32,080
Speaker 3: beauty of it is he's also the tush push guy.

1056
00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:34,520
Speaker 3: So when they are out there for a third down

1057
00:56:34,560 --> 00:56:36,520
Speaker 3: and they get to a fourth and one, they can

1058
00:56:36,600 --> 00:56:38,560
Speaker 3: hop right up in their personnel group and they got

1059
00:56:38,560 --> 00:56:40,840
Speaker 3: the guy they won out there for the tush push

1060
00:56:40,880 --> 00:56:43,239
Speaker 3: and Ty Johnson, and so you know there's gonna have

1061
00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:46,239
Speaker 3: to be guys that step up, and whether that's James Cook,

1062
00:56:46,280 --> 00:56:49,279
Speaker 3: whether we see some you know, two back personnel back

1063
00:56:49,320 --> 00:56:51,759
Speaker 3: there with Ray Davis and James Cook. Last week we

1064
00:56:51,800 --> 00:56:55,040
Speaker 3: saw James Cook and Ty Johnson on the field at

1065
00:56:55,040 --> 00:56:58,879
Speaker 3: the same time. And Ray Davis's usage was a little

1066
00:56:58,920 --> 00:57:01,640
Speaker 3: more limited last week against the Colts, and not sure

1067
00:57:01,680 --> 00:57:04,080
Speaker 3: exactly why other then they got three good backs and

1068
00:57:04,280 --> 00:57:06,640
Speaker 3: you feed the hot hand, and based upon the passing

1069
00:57:06,680 --> 00:57:10,440
Speaker 3: situations at times, you feel more comfortable with Todd Johnson,

1070
00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:12,279
Speaker 3: and if teams are going to continue to blitz, you

1071
00:57:12,400 --> 00:57:15,080
Speaker 3: like having a veteran like Tad Johnson back there. But

1072
00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:17,320
Speaker 3: you know, this is a Chiefs defense that was ranked

1073
00:57:17,360 --> 00:57:19,280
Speaker 3: high in all categories a year ago, and the Bills

1074
00:57:19,280 --> 00:57:21,320
Speaker 3: were able to run the ball effectively on them in

1075
00:57:21,360 --> 00:57:23,760
Speaker 3: the playoffs. Now They're leading rusher was Josh Allen in

1076
00:57:23,760 --> 00:57:26,360
Speaker 3: that game. And you often see it with both these

1077
00:57:26,440 --> 00:57:30,640
Speaker 3: quarterbacks that in this matchup and especially in the playoffs,

1078
00:57:30,720 --> 00:57:33,440
Speaker 3: those quarterbacks are not afraid to take off when everything's

1079
00:57:33,480 --> 00:57:35,600
Speaker 3: on the line, and so you know it might be

1080
00:57:35,680 --> 00:57:37,760
Speaker 3: a week as well where you don't want to, you know,

1081
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:39,840
Speaker 3: take a chance of getting dinged up. With the buy

1082
00:57:39,920 --> 00:57:42,480
Speaker 3: coming up, you know, I think you could see Josh Allen,

1083
00:57:42,880 --> 00:57:45,440
Speaker 3: you know, incorporate himself into the run game even more,

1084
00:57:45,760 --> 00:57:51,040
Speaker 3: especially if Coleman and King Cater both out.

1085
00:57:51,560 --> 00:57:54,400
Speaker 1: So we've seen the Bills struggle in the first six

1086
00:57:54,520 --> 00:57:56,840
Speaker 1: or seven weeks of the season converting on third down.

1087
00:57:56,880 --> 00:57:59,360
Speaker 1: Now they're getting a big uptick in the third down

1088
00:57:59,400 --> 00:58:00,560
Speaker 1: conversion changed.

1089
00:58:03,480 --> 00:58:06,160
Speaker 3: Stupid to say, but execution. Now Josh is stealing a

1090
00:58:06,160 --> 00:58:09,320
Speaker 3: few more with his legs, and I think they're doing

1091
00:58:09,320 --> 00:58:10,920
Speaker 3: a better job in first and second down. I don't

1092
00:58:10,960 --> 00:58:12,240
Speaker 3: have the data in front of me to prove that.

1093
00:58:12,280 --> 00:58:14,480
Speaker 3: I wish I did, but that's how it feels. As

1094
00:58:14,480 --> 00:58:16,439
Speaker 3: we're calling the game. They're getting to more third and ones,

1095
00:58:16,480 --> 00:58:19,800
Speaker 3: there's more QB sneaks, there's more you know, run plays

1096
00:58:19,800 --> 00:58:22,760
Speaker 3: on third and one that are allowing them to convert

1097
00:58:22,800 --> 00:58:25,360
Speaker 3: for third downs. But when Josh heurd his hand in

1098
00:58:25,400 --> 00:58:27,760
Speaker 3: Week one against Arizona, there was a number of weeks

1099
00:58:27,800 --> 00:58:30,240
Speaker 3: where there was first downs out there for him to

1100
00:58:30,280 --> 00:58:32,640
Speaker 3: go grab with his legs. And he didn't do it.

1101
00:58:32,720 --> 00:58:34,960
Speaker 3: I also think, even though there's been some injuries in

1102
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:38,600
Speaker 3: the receiving corps, when you can create more of a

1103
00:58:38,640 --> 00:58:41,360
Speaker 3: relationship with these guys come into the season. Shaki is

1104
00:58:41,400 --> 00:58:43,240
Speaker 3: the only receiver to have caught a pass in a

1105
00:58:43,280 --> 00:58:45,760
Speaker 3: game from Josh Allen, Well, you grow more comfortable with

1106
00:58:45,760 --> 00:58:48,760
Speaker 3: those guys. We've seen guys like Coleman convert a number

1107
00:58:48,800 --> 00:58:52,640
Speaker 3: of third downs throughout this season, especially prior obviously prior

1108
00:58:52,680 --> 00:58:56,120
Speaker 3: to the injury, but leading up to that injury, he

1109
00:58:56,200 --> 00:58:57,920
Speaker 3: was doing a better job out there as well, and

1110
00:58:57,960 --> 00:59:01,400
Speaker 3: so you got him growing in his reallylationship with the receivers.

1111
00:59:01,640 --> 00:59:04,920
Speaker 3: You have this group, this whole group working together more often,

1112
00:59:04,960 --> 00:59:07,280
Speaker 3: and then Josh stealing some with his legs.

1113
00:59:07,560 --> 00:59:08,200
Speaker 4: I assumed.

1114
00:59:08,320 --> 00:59:09,960
Speaker 3: You know, ever since I've been calling these games for

1115
00:59:10,040 --> 00:59:12,400
Speaker 3: the Bills, they've been so good on third down. I mean,

1116
00:59:12,440 --> 00:59:14,800
Speaker 3: their top five every single year. Even when they were

1117
00:59:14,840 --> 00:59:17,040
Speaker 3: struggling early in the season last year with Ken Dorsey

1118
00:59:17,080 --> 00:59:20,640
Speaker 3: as the offensive coordinator, struggling at times, they still were

1119
00:59:20,720 --> 00:59:23,880
Speaker 3: ranked top five and third down offense. And so they're

1120
00:59:23,920 --> 00:59:26,440
Speaker 3: starting to revert back to that. They just had a

1121
00:59:26,560 --> 00:59:28,680
Speaker 3: rough stretch to start the season on third down.

1122
00:59:29,320 --> 00:59:31,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, And just to take that a step further, Eric,

1123
00:59:32,720 --> 00:59:36,240
Speaker 2: they've spread it around on third down over these last

1124
00:59:36,240 --> 00:59:39,400
Speaker 2: three games too, to some degree by necessity with Coleman

1125
00:59:39,480 --> 00:59:43,480
Speaker 2: out and some other guys dinged. But in these last

1126
00:59:43,480 --> 00:59:46,480
Speaker 2: three games where they've gone fifty percent conversion or better,

1127
00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:50,520
Speaker 2: eight different players have at least one conversion on third

1128
00:59:50,560 --> 00:59:54,480
Speaker 2: down For Buffalo, five different players have provided three or

1129
00:59:54,520 --> 00:59:58,520
Speaker 2: more conversions, and even on big plays, four different players

1130
00:59:58,600 --> 01:00:01,000
Speaker 2: have at least one play of two twenty yards or more.

1131
01:00:01,200 --> 01:00:03,920
Speaker 2: How much more difficult does it make it for opponents

1132
01:00:03,920 --> 01:00:06,480
Speaker 2: to defend them when they're getting that kind of distribution.

1133
01:00:07,600 --> 01:00:09,480
Speaker 3: This is why I love working with you, dude. It's

1134
01:00:09,560 --> 01:00:12,520
Speaker 3: unbelievable these stats. Every week we do that roundtable together

1135
01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:15,439
Speaker 3: and we go in that pre game and every point

1136
01:00:15,480 --> 01:00:17,560
Speaker 3: I make, even if we haven't talked about it, he's

1137
01:00:17,600 --> 01:00:20,640
Speaker 3: got just incredible stats to back it up. At times,

1138
01:00:20,680 --> 01:00:22,880
Speaker 3: I think maybe he loads Steve with a question so

1139
01:00:22,920 --> 01:00:25,520
Speaker 3: that I answer and then he can maybe throw.

1140
01:00:25,400 --> 01:00:27,600
Speaker 2: I'm not that good, Eric, thank you, but I'm not

1141
01:00:27,640 --> 01:00:28,080
Speaker 2: that good.

1142
01:00:29,480 --> 01:00:32,400
Speaker 3: No, just kidding. No, that's that's that's great research there,

1143
01:00:32,560 --> 01:00:35,520
Speaker 3: and that that backs it up perfectly, and that makes

1144
01:00:35,520 --> 01:00:38,520
Speaker 3: it tough, and you know it's it's easy to say.

1145
01:00:38,640 --> 01:00:40,760
Speaker 3: You know at times, you know, Josh has so few

1146
01:00:40,840 --> 01:00:43,280
Speaker 3: so much fewer turnovers this year because he's spreading the

1147
01:00:43,280 --> 01:00:45,560
Speaker 3: ball around. He doesn't feel like he needs the force

1148
01:00:45,600 --> 01:00:47,080
Speaker 3: of the digs at times, he doesn't feel like he

1149
01:00:47,120 --> 01:00:49,760
Speaker 3: needs to validate Gave Davis is a number two receiver.

1150
01:00:49,800 --> 01:00:51,600
Speaker 3: He's great friends with him. He wants him to get

1151
01:00:51,640 --> 01:00:53,680
Speaker 3: the ball. He wants to get paid. You're not forcing

1152
01:00:53,720 --> 01:00:56,080
Speaker 3: the ball to anybody this year. You're spreading it around.

1153
01:00:56,320 --> 01:00:58,800
Speaker 3: That makes it tough on a defense. And yeah, he's

1154
01:00:58,840 --> 01:01:02,440
Speaker 3: got a great relationship with Khalil Shakir in the passing

1155
01:01:02,480 --> 01:01:05,640
Speaker 3: game to where you know there is surefire of a connection.

1156
01:01:05,800 --> 01:01:07,840
Speaker 3: Is anyone in the league still tops even with some

1157
01:01:07,920 --> 01:01:11,480
Speaker 3: mishaps in recent weeks in the past game with those guys,

1158
01:01:11,520 --> 01:01:14,080
Speaker 3: but what they've been able to do and spreading the

1159
01:01:14,080 --> 01:01:16,040
Speaker 3: ball round makes them very difficult to defend.

1160
01:01:16,440 --> 01:01:18,480
Speaker 1: What about this game? And they see it coming in

1161
01:01:18,520 --> 01:01:21,840
Speaker 1: and you know the Chiefs are if you're the Chiefs,

1162
01:01:21,840 --> 01:01:24,720
Speaker 1: how do you feel about this game? Certainly there is

1163
01:01:24,760 --> 01:01:27,680
Speaker 1: the desire to be a historic team that goes undefeated,

1164
01:01:28,680 --> 01:01:30,480
Speaker 1: but their margin of vera is even bigger than the

1165
01:01:30,480 --> 01:01:32,919
Speaker 1: Bills in their division, right, I mean, there's nobody that's

1166
01:01:32,960 --> 01:01:35,440
Speaker 1: going to touch them in the AFC West. Maybe the

1167
01:01:35,520 --> 01:01:37,400
Speaker 1: Chargers are going to hang in there getting back in

1168
01:01:37,400 --> 01:01:39,560
Speaker 1: the lost. Come right, they're three back in the loss.

1169
01:01:39,600 --> 01:01:42,160
Speaker 1: So you know, if you're the Chiefs coming in, it's

1170
01:01:42,240 --> 01:01:43,880
Speaker 1: kind of the same question for them as it is

1171
01:01:43,920 --> 01:01:47,520
Speaker 1: the Bills. However, they've got, you know, almost they've got

1172
01:01:47,560 --> 01:01:51,760
Speaker 1: this spot in history that they're playing for that all

1173
01:01:51,800 --> 01:01:54,160
Speaker 1: of us out here thinks that's pretty important.

1174
01:01:55,000 --> 01:01:56,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's that's what I was going to say.

1175
01:01:56,800 --> 01:02:00,560
Speaker 3: You've got an opportunity to do something historic. When they

1176
01:02:00,600 --> 01:02:03,160
Speaker 3: were nine to zero in two thousand and three, I

1177
01:02:03,240 --> 01:02:06,600
Speaker 3: was actually at the Bengals game to watch them get

1178
01:02:06,600 --> 01:02:09,000
Speaker 3: be you know, I hope I witness for the second

1179
01:02:09,000 --> 01:02:12,240
Speaker 3: time they've had what two twelve h starts or two

1180
01:02:12,640 --> 01:02:15,320
Speaker 3: nine to zero starts in franchise history, And in two

1181
01:02:15,360 --> 01:02:17,560
Speaker 3: thousand and three I got the witness it could get

1182
01:02:17,600 --> 01:02:19,960
Speaker 3: being broken by the Bengals. And you know, I think

1183
01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:23,160
Speaker 3: this is the Chiefs Bills. You know, rivalry now where

1184
01:02:23,200 --> 01:02:25,360
Speaker 3: you play each other as much as you do your

1185
01:02:25,400 --> 01:02:29,640
Speaker 3: own division rivals, there's so much familiarity there's chippiness, there's

1186
01:02:30,000 --> 01:02:32,959
Speaker 3: guys that are ticked about something did some guy did

1187
01:02:33,040 --> 01:02:35,880
Speaker 3: two games ago. And yeah, I mean both teams want

1188
01:02:35,920 --> 01:02:38,000
Speaker 3: this win badly. It is what it is. I mean,

1189
01:02:38,320 --> 01:02:42,080
Speaker 3: all talk of the offseason, you know, between these two franchises,

1190
01:02:42,160 --> 01:02:44,640
Speaker 3: especially US, is can you get over the hump with

1191
01:02:44,760 --> 01:02:48,160
Speaker 3: Kansas City? I realize that a regular season win doesn't

1192
01:02:48,280 --> 01:02:51,960
Speaker 3: do anything invalidating all their you know, us not beating

1193
01:02:51,960 --> 01:02:55,240
Speaker 3: them in the playoffs, not winning super Bowls like they have.

1194
01:02:55,640 --> 01:02:58,160
Speaker 3: But you know, the more times you could beat someone

1195
01:02:58,240 --> 01:03:00,640
Speaker 3: prove it to yourself you can. I think you likely

1196
01:03:00,680 --> 01:03:03,680
Speaker 3: take more confidence into the postseason knowing that, you know,

1197
01:03:03,840 --> 01:03:05,840
Speaker 3: the last four years, if you can do it this week,

1198
01:03:05,880 --> 01:03:07,720
Speaker 3: there'd be the last four years in the regular season

1199
01:03:07,920 --> 01:03:08,840
Speaker 3: you beat them.

1200
01:03:09,480 --> 01:03:12,480
Speaker 2: Takeaways have been, you know, a big part of Buffalo's success,

1201
01:03:12,520 --> 01:03:14,360
Speaker 2: not only on this five game winning streak, but pretty

1202
01:03:14,440 --> 01:03:16,560
Speaker 2: much all season. Eric, they've gotten at least one takeaway

1203
01:03:16,600 --> 01:03:19,000
Speaker 2: in every game, as you well know, which leads the

1204
01:03:19,040 --> 01:03:21,560
Speaker 2: league for the longest current active streak, and it stretches

1205
01:03:21,600 --> 01:03:23,880
Speaker 2: back even the last season. Based on what you were

1206
01:03:23,880 --> 01:03:26,280
Speaker 2: telling us on the broadcast last week, which I was

1207
01:03:26,360 --> 01:03:29,920
Speaker 2: unaware of. By the way, but in any event, it

1208
01:03:29,960 --> 01:03:34,840
Speaker 2: would seem to me that knowing how hard it is

1209
01:03:35,560 --> 01:03:38,560
Speaker 2: to get Kansas City's offense off the field with their

1210
01:03:38,640 --> 01:03:40,840
Speaker 2: number one third down conversion rate, they have the most

1211
01:03:40,880 --> 01:03:43,000
Speaker 2: ten play drives in the NFL, They lead the league

1212
01:03:43,040 --> 01:03:46,680
Speaker 2: in time of possession. Takeaways have to happen in this

1213
01:03:46,760 --> 01:03:50,200
Speaker 2: game to get Buffalo's offense the extra possessions they need

1214
01:03:50,240 --> 01:03:51,720
Speaker 2: to probably win this game.

1215
01:03:53,280 --> 01:03:55,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, it almost feels like a different script of what

1216
01:03:55,320 --> 01:03:57,640
Speaker 3: the Bills did to Kansas City. Unable to get the win,

1217
01:03:57,760 --> 01:03:59,560
Speaker 3: but what the Bills did to Kansas City in the

1218
01:03:59,560 --> 01:04:02,240
Speaker 3: playoff with our injured linebackers and we wanted to possess

1219
01:04:02,320 --> 01:04:04,640
Speaker 3: the ball. You know, we did really well on third

1220
01:04:04,680 --> 01:04:06,760
Speaker 3: down in that game last year. Kansas City goes one

1221
01:04:06,800 --> 01:04:09,400
Speaker 3: for five. We have thirty seven minutes of time of

1222
01:04:09,440 --> 01:04:13,040
Speaker 3: possession to their twenty three. We outgained them on the ground.

1223
01:04:13,360 --> 01:04:15,040
Speaker 3: We just couldn't come up with the play at the end.

1224
01:04:15,280 --> 01:04:18,360
Speaker 3: And it seems like Kansas City's situation this year is,

1225
01:04:18,880 --> 01:04:21,560
Speaker 3: you know, we're down some weapons on offense with Rashid

1226
01:04:21,640 --> 01:04:24,320
Speaker 3: Rice and Isaiah Pacheco, and you know we're gonna milk

1227
01:04:24,360 --> 01:04:26,360
Speaker 3: this clock. We don't have quite the weapons, but our

1228
01:04:26,400 --> 01:04:28,360
Speaker 3: defense is gonna keep us in it, and you give

1229
01:04:28,400 --> 01:04:30,680
Speaker 3: us the ball at the end, we're probably gonna beat you.

1230
01:04:30,720 --> 01:04:33,360
Speaker 3: And they have each and every game this year. There's

1231
01:04:33,400 --> 01:04:36,000
Speaker 3: been obviously some close calls. You got the Isaiah Likely

1232
01:04:36,440 --> 01:04:39,160
Speaker 3: you know, tow on the end line in week one,

1233
01:04:39,280 --> 01:04:41,080
Speaker 3: you got the blocked field goal. Last week, you got

1234
01:04:41,080 --> 01:04:43,600
Speaker 3: a penalty against Atlanta. I mean, there's been really close

1235
01:04:43,640 --> 01:04:45,560
Speaker 3: calls where they could be sitting here coming in at

1236
01:04:45,600 --> 01:04:46,360
Speaker 3: six and three.

1237
01:04:46,720 --> 01:04:47,760
Speaker 1: But this is a.

1238
01:04:47,720 --> 01:04:50,800
Speaker 3: Team that we said, you know, we say all the time,

1239
01:04:50,880 --> 01:04:53,360
Speaker 3: and you know, call a cliche or whatever. They know

1240
01:04:53,400 --> 01:04:55,880
Speaker 3: how to win right now. You know, Patrick Mahomes, you

1241
01:04:55,920 --> 01:04:57,760
Speaker 3: give him four downs at the end of a game,

1242
01:04:58,360 --> 01:05:00,160
Speaker 3: you know, if he gets in four down territory or

1243
01:05:00,200 --> 01:05:01,960
Speaker 3: they moved the sticks they did in the Super Bowl.

1244
01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:05,160
Speaker 3: They've done it against everybody, and so yeah, if you're

1245
01:05:05,200 --> 01:05:08,600
Speaker 3: able to force turnovers in this one, cast some havoc

1246
01:05:08,680 --> 01:05:11,600
Speaker 3: on defense, this is an opportunity to stick defense. These

1247
01:05:11,600 --> 01:05:14,320
Speaker 3: guys go after the ball. They got a lot of experience.

1248
01:05:14,360 --> 01:05:18,880
Speaker 3: They Tarren Johnson, Christian Benford, those are the types of

1249
01:05:18,920 --> 01:05:23,200
Speaker 3: guys that somehow I never played defense, especially at a

1250
01:05:23,240 --> 01:05:25,600
Speaker 3: high level. But go make a tackle and punch at

1251
01:05:25,600 --> 01:05:27,040
Speaker 3: the ball at the same time. You know, I just

1252
01:05:27,080 --> 01:05:28,880
Speaker 3: always felt like, if a defender is going for the

1253
01:05:28,920 --> 01:05:30,520
Speaker 3: ball too much, you're gonna run right through. And those

1254
01:05:30,520 --> 01:05:32,520
Speaker 3: guys have a unique ability to go for the ball

1255
01:05:32,560 --> 01:05:35,720
Speaker 3: and bring the ball carrier down. And then to me,

1256
01:05:35,800 --> 01:05:38,160
Speaker 3: what it always comes down to against Kansas City is

1257
01:05:38,320 --> 01:05:40,800
Speaker 3: can you apply pressure with a four man rush? And

1258
01:05:41,440 --> 01:05:42,920
Speaker 3: you know, you bring in von Miller a couple of

1259
01:05:43,000 --> 01:05:45,760
Speaker 3: years ago and we had the game at Kansas City.

1260
01:05:45,880 --> 01:05:49,240
Speaker 3: Vond that's when we touted him the closer. We had

1261
01:05:49,280 --> 01:05:52,720
Speaker 3: a lead. Vond's creating pressure like crazy. I think that

1262
01:05:52,760 --> 01:05:55,560
Speaker 3: was when when Milano got the pick. Maybe I'm thinking

1263
01:05:55,560 --> 01:05:57,800
Speaker 3: of another one as well, but that's when we said

1264
01:05:57,880 --> 01:06:00,439
Speaker 3: Vond's the closer. Him and Rousseau on the edge. Can't

1265
01:06:00,480 --> 01:06:02,440
Speaker 3: wait to see this. And it just didn't come to

1266
01:06:02,480 --> 01:06:05,320
Speaker 3: fruition because of injuries and whatnot. But now we got

1267
01:06:05,560 --> 01:06:08,320
Speaker 3: both those guys healthy. Got at Oliver who you paid

1268
01:06:08,600 --> 01:06:11,640
Speaker 3: a Jepines's rushing the passer at a great clip right now,

1269
01:06:11,720 --> 01:06:15,240
Speaker 3: dake Wan Joneson can still pressure from the inside. Jefferson

1270
01:06:15,240 --> 01:06:18,200
Speaker 3: gets a sack last week. Can we get pressure with

1271
01:06:18,240 --> 01:06:20,959
Speaker 3: a four man rush, contain Mahomes in the pocket, create

1272
01:06:21,000 --> 01:06:23,720
Speaker 3: some pressure. I love the Bill's chances of getting out

1273
01:06:23,760 --> 01:06:24,440
Speaker 3: here with the win if so.

1274
01:06:25,040 --> 01:06:28,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, good stuff, Eric, thanks man, Appreciate you.

1275
01:06:28,560 --> 01:06:29,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, my pleasure.

1276
01:06:29,600 --> 01:06:31,240
Speaker 2: Got the swevels. We'll see on Sunday.

1277
01:06:32,440 --> 01:06:33,320
Speaker 3: Appreciate it all right.

1278
01:06:33,360 --> 01:06:36,240
Speaker 2: That's Eric Wood joining us. He does that every week,

1279
01:06:36,360 --> 01:06:38,560
Speaker 2: usually on Mondays. But we didn't have a show on Monday,

1280
01:06:38,600 --> 01:06:41,440
Speaker 2: so we're fortunate enough to get him on today to

1281
01:06:41,800 --> 01:06:44,520
Speaker 2: break down the upcoming game instead of rehashing the game

1282
01:06:44,560 --> 01:06:48,000
Speaker 2: that was. But we'll obviously have him in on Monday

1283
01:06:48,040 --> 01:06:52,919
Speaker 2: after this one. It's a biggie. And look, I mean,

1284
01:06:53,880 --> 01:06:56,800
Speaker 2: you look at all the numbers with the Chiefs offense,

1285
01:06:56,840 --> 01:07:00,280
Speaker 2: and it's like, how do you get these guys off

1286
01:07:00,320 --> 01:07:03,440
Speaker 2: the dang field? They convert at the highest rate on

1287
01:07:03,520 --> 01:07:08,640
Speaker 2: third Here's the best part. So they convert third downs

1288
01:07:08,800 --> 01:07:11,760
Speaker 2: at a better rate than anybody fifty two percent. And

1289
01:07:12,240 --> 01:07:14,400
Speaker 2: whether it's third and ten plus, they have the best

1290
01:07:14,400 --> 01:07:16,840
Speaker 2: conversion rate there, or third and medium, they have the

1291
01:07:16,880 --> 01:07:19,440
Speaker 2: best conversion rate third and six or more, they have

1292
01:07:19,480 --> 01:07:24,120
Speaker 2: the best conversion rate. Here's here's the kicker. If you

1293
01:07:24,160 --> 01:07:26,800
Speaker 2: are fortunate enough to stop them on third down, and

1294
01:07:26,800 --> 01:07:29,880
Speaker 2: they're in a fourth and one situation. Number one conversion

1295
01:07:29,920 --> 01:07:31,600
Speaker 2: rate in the league on fourth and one, even on

1296
01:07:31,680 --> 01:07:35,120
Speaker 2: fourth and one, it's just it's like geez. So that's

1297
01:07:35,160 --> 01:07:37,440
Speaker 2: why I'm like, oh, that's the Bills have to take

1298
01:07:37,480 --> 01:07:38,000
Speaker 2: the ball away.

1299
01:07:38,080 --> 01:07:40,920
Speaker 1: That's the thing to you don't need. And you never

1300
01:07:40,960 --> 01:07:42,560
Speaker 1: want to get them in ot either, because then you know,

1301
01:07:42,600 --> 01:07:44,280
Speaker 1: you get them in there, even if you score first,

1302
01:07:44,280 --> 01:07:47,280
Speaker 1: they get the ball back and it's and it's four

1303
01:07:47,320 --> 01:07:53,960
Speaker 1: down territory. It's it's amplified their abilities, you know, they

1304
01:07:54,040 --> 01:07:56,000
Speaker 1: just you get them into that, you get them at

1305
01:07:56,040 --> 01:07:57,280
Speaker 1: the end of a half where they're going to go

1306
01:07:57,440 --> 01:07:57,640
Speaker 1: for it.

1307
01:07:57,760 --> 01:07:57,880
Speaker 3: It.

1308
01:07:58,000 --> 01:07:59,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a crusher.

1309
01:07:59,080 --> 01:08:02,920
Speaker 2: And I was looking at so of mahomes statistics when

1310
01:08:02,920 --> 01:08:06,760
Speaker 2: they get to the fourth quarter and they're trailing, and

1311
01:08:06,840 --> 01:08:10,320
Speaker 2: his completion percentage goes up six percent, his yards per

1312
01:08:10,400 --> 01:08:13,760
Speaker 2: attempt go up two yards per attempt, and I mean

1313
01:08:13,800 --> 01:08:16,840
Speaker 2: his touchdown to interception range, like the whole thing. Like

1314
01:08:16,920 --> 01:08:19,519
Speaker 2: he's like, oh, it's crunch time, let's turn it up

1315
01:08:19,520 --> 01:08:22,519
Speaker 2: to eleven. And he does. It's just that's why he

1316
01:08:22,600 --> 01:08:25,280
Speaker 2: is who he is. He's a freaking name.

1317
01:08:25,280 --> 01:08:27,639
Speaker 1: And we've seen it and and hey, kudos to him there.

1318
01:08:28,120 --> 01:08:31,920
Speaker 1: That's why you're two time defending champions and you're undefeated

1319
01:08:31,960 --> 01:08:34,920
Speaker 1: in the third year going forward. I mean, it's they are.

1320
01:08:36,080 --> 01:08:40,200
Speaker 1: They're a historic team right now with Andy Reid and

1321
01:08:40,320 --> 01:08:44,760
Speaker 1: Mahomes and Kelsey as well. They're they're they're cutting a

1322
01:08:44,760 --> 01:08:46,760
Speaker 1: slice of history out and it's big.

1341
01:09:57,000 --> 01:10:01,920
Speaker 1: Well, it is a different vibe in the building when

1342
01:10:01,960 --> 01:10:04,120
Speaker 1: you're going into like a playoff game or a game

1343
01:10:04,200 --> 01:10:10,280
Speaker 1: like this, where everybody in the building really does a

1344
01:10:10,920 --> 01:10:13,840
Speaker 1: self check and realizes that their job is They're going

1345
01:10:13,920 --> 01:10:18,360
Speaker 1: to decide their job is really important this week. It's

1346
01:10:18,400 --> 01:10:20,240
Speaker 1: not that it's not important every week, but it's just

1347
01:10:20,280 --> 01:10:22,760
Speaker 1: a different It's like, I've got to make sure I

1348
01:10:22,880 --> 01:10:24,880
Speaker 1: do my thing this week. I'm not going to be

1349
01:10:24,960 --> 01:10:30,560
Speaker 1: that guy who misses a play or misses an opportunity.

1350
01:10:31,080 --> 01:10:34,120
Speaker 1: And it changes the vibe at practice, it changes the

1351
01:10:34,240 --> 01:10:38,240
Speaker 1: vibe in meetings. There's a couple more questions to coaches

1352
01:10:38,280 --> 01:10:41,080
Speaker 1: about what's going on, a couple of big detail questions.

1353
01:10:42,040 --> 01:10:46,120
Speaker 1: Even the coaching staff will will mention it and have

1354
01:10:46,160 --> 01:10:48,160
Speaker 1: a plan for it. They'll say, listen, guys, we're gonna

1355
01:10:48,160 --> 01:10:49,800
Speaker 1: treat this like the regular season game. We all know

1356
01:10:49,840 --> 01:10:51,960
Speaker 1: it's not, but you got to you gotta get into it.

1357
01:10:52,000 --> 01:10:54,040
Speaker 1: You got to do your routine. You can't change it

1358
01:10:54,160 --> 01:10:57,439
Speaker 1: just for this one game. You gotta get ready, and

1359
01:10:57,479 --> 01:10:59,360
Speaker 1: you've been getting you've been doing it right the right way.

1360
01:10:59,400 --> 01:11:01,559
Speaker 1: You're eight and two and you're playing extremely good football.

1361
01:11:01,600 --> 01:11:03,439
Speaker 1: You can't forget about all the stuff that you do

1362
01:11:03,520 --> 01:11:08,760
Speaker 1: every week, but you do concentrate, and you can you

1363
01:11:08,760 --> 01:11:11,800
Speaker 1: can tell in the conversations at practice. You can tell

1364
01:11:11,800 --> 01:11:14,880
Speaker 1: them the conversations between in meetings with your coach and

1365
01:11:14,880 --> 01:11:16,840
Speaker 1: how and the stuff that he's installing and you're coaching

1366
01:11:16,920 --> 01:11:21,160
Speaker 1: up and looking at film together, the conversations take a

1367
01:11:21,200 --> 01:11:27,600
Speaker 1: serious turn. Yeah, you can tell. And it is a

1368
01:11:27,640 --> 01:11:30,240
Speaker 1: different vibe. As for specific stories about guys that I

1369
01:11:30,360 --> 01:11:33,280
Speaker 1: played with, I couldn't tell you.

1370
01:11:33,320 --> 01:11:36,360
Speaker 2: And we like nobody walking through the locker room going

1371
01:11:36,800 --> 01:11:39,240
Speaker 2: this one's a big one guy. Yeah, there's none of that.

1372
01:11:39,240 --> 01:11:39,960
Speaker 2: That doesn't happen.

1373
01:11:39,960 --> 01:11:42,080
Speaker 1: There's none of that going on. There's none of that

1374
01:11:42,200 --> 01:11:47,479
Speaker 1: going on. But yeah that No, I don't have any

1375
01:11:47,520 --> 01:11:49,840
Speaker 1: really because we played in so I hate to say it,

1376
01:11:49,840 --> 01:11:53,800
Speaker 1: we played in so many big games, you know, it

1377
01:11:54,520 --> 01:11:56,760
Speaker 1: was it was almost routine for us. And I'll say

1378
01:11:56,760 --> 01:11:59,479
Speaker 1: this though, and this team is part of that. You

1379
01:11:59,560 --> 01:12:02,360
Speaker 1: play in an enough of these and where the standard

1380
01:12:02,400 --> 01:12:04,760
Speaker 1: is high, and where everything you do is magnified, and

1381
01:12:04,800 --> 01:12:08,040
Speaker 1: your mistakes are magnified, and your and your plays, everything

1382
01:12:08,160 --> 01:12:12,360
Speaker 1: is is important. You begin to raise the floor of

1383
01:12:12,400 --> 01:12:17,000
Speaker 1: what you'll accept in practice in meetings that like excellence

1384
01:12:17,080 --> 01:12:23,600
Speaker 1: becomes your the bar, you know, Perfection becomes the you know.

1385
01:12:23,960 --> 01:12:26,760
Speaker 1: Every once in a while you do it perfect you know,

1386
01:12:27,280 --> 01:12:30,240
Speaker 1: and you can never stay there because perfection is elusive.

1387
01:12:30,720 --> 01:12:34,720
Speaker 1: But the floor of your acceptable level of performance and

1388
01:12:34,760 --> 01:12:38,479
Speaker 1: preparation raises higher and higher and higher the more games

1389
01:12:38,520 --> 01:12:40,760
Speaker 1: like this year in and this group has been in

1390
01:12:40,800 --> 01:12:43,360
Speaker 1: a bunch of them, the core group has, the coaching

1391
01:12:43,360 --> 01:12:46,080
Speaker 1: staff has, and what it does is it raises the

1392
01:12:46,120 --> 01:12:53,280
Speaker 1: floor of what you'll accept as being good enough to win.

1393
01:12:55,160 --> 01:12:58,400
Speaker 1: That helps you play consistently at even even higher level.

1394
01:12:59,120 --> 01:13:02,559
Speaker 2: We have an addition note here in excuse me, mister tasker.

Speaker 2: be people. You're gonna be begging that there's fewer people.

1431
01:14:58,120 --> 01:14:59,760

1433

1436
01:15:13,040 --> 01:15:14,920
Speaker 6: one of my favorite places to play in the NFL

1437
01:15:15,280 --> 01:15:18,080
Speaker 6: and never experienced the tailgate or anything like that, So

1438
01:15:18,120 --> 01:15:21,240
Speaker 6: looking forward to seeing the fans and feeling the energy

1439
01:15:21,240 --> 01:15:22,120
Speaker 6: outside the stadium.

1440
01:15:22,200 --> 01:15:23,800
Speaker 1: And this is no small thing. I mean, you said

1441
01:15:23,800 --> 01:15:26,000
Speaker 1: it yourself. And when we're sitting here waiting to go on,

1442
01:15:26,439 --> 01:15:29,040
Speaker 1: this is like so far anyway, this is the game

1443
01:15:29,080 --> 01:15:33,799
Speaker 1: of the year. I mean, the Chiefs undefeated, the Bills

1444
01:15:34,280 --> 01:15:36,280
Speaker 1: really making a shot at getting the one seat if

1445
01:15:36,280 --> 01:15:38,200
Speaker 1: they can beat them this week, and then kind of

1446
01:15:38,280 --> 01:15:41,720
Speaker 1: keep things rolling. How did I mean you got it's

1447
01:15:41,760 --> 01:15:43,760
Speaker 1: a rare thing to bring you guys out of the

1448
01:15:43,760 --> 01:15:45,679
Speaker 1: studio in New York and get you out on location.

1449
01:15:45,800 --> 01:15:48,320
Speaker 1: What's the atmosphere like around CBS, and and what are

1450
01:15:48,360 --> 01:15:51,120
Speaker 1: your cohorts thinking about this matchup and how it's gonna go.

1451
01:15:53,240 --> 01:15:55,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, we we we agree. We think this is the

1452
01:15:55,760 --> 01:15:58,360
Speaker 6: game of the year. And about three weeks ago, I

1453
01:15:58,439 --> 01:16:00,200
Speaker 6: was sitting in one of our production meetings on a

1454
01:16:00,240 --> 01:16:04,439
Speaker 6: Sunday morning, and our crew kind of told us we

1455
01:16:04,439 --> 01:16:07,360
Speaker 6: were thinking about doing this because you know, both teams

1456
01:16:07,400 --> 01:16:09,840
Speaker 6: were on this collision course for this game, and so

1457
01:16:10,680 --> 01:16:13,240
Speaker 6: we're excited to get out there. The energy is gonna

1458
01:16:13,240 --> 01:16:17,000
Speaker 6: be awesome. But you know, really on CB, yes, I mean,

1459
01:16:17,000 --> 01:16:19,680
Speaker 6: it's an unbelievable set up this weekend during the one

1460
01:16:19,680 --> 01:16:22,599
Speaker 6: o'clock window, we've got the Ravens versus the Steelers kind

1461
01:16:22,600 --> 01:16:24,479
Speaker 6: of leading up to that four to twenty five game

1462
01:16:25,120 --> 01:16:27,439
Speaker 6: of the Chiefs and the Bills. So a great weekend

1463
01:16:27,520 --> 01:16:30,960
Speaker 6: all around. In the NFL culminate it by, in my opinion,

1464
01:16:31,040 --> 01:16:32,000
Speaker 6: the game of the year so far.

1465
01:16:33,000 --> 01:16:35,400
Speaker 2: All Right, So I got to ask, because I'm curious

1466
01:16:35,439 --> 01:16:37,080
Speaker 2: if you've been given the four to one one on this.

1467
01:16:37,240 --> 01:16:38,920
Speaker 2: You guys are obviously going to be out there doing

1468
01:16:38,920 --> 01:16:41,760
Speaker 2: your regular pre game which leads up to the one

1469
01:16:41,760 --> 01:16:44,599
Speaker 2: o'clock slate. The Bills aren't playing until four to twenty five.

1470
01:16:45,240 --> 01:16:47,800
Speaker 2: So where are you watching the one o'clocks? Do you

1471
01:16:47,840 --> 01:16:50,240
Speaker 2: get to go in the CBS truck? Are are they

1472
01:16:50,240 --> 01:16:52,320
Speaker 2: going to find some venue for you? Or are you

1473
01:16:52,360 --> 01:16:54,439
Speaker 2: hopping in one of the local watering holes? Where are

1474
01:16:54,439 --> 01:16:56,040
Speaker 2: you guys watching the one o'clock games?

1475
01:16:59,040 --> 01:17:00,960
Speaker 6: Well, as much as I would love to hop in

1476
01:17:00,960 --> 01:17:03,559
Speaker 6: one of the local watering holes, UH, I still got

1477
01:17:03,560 --> 01:17:06,200
Speaker 6: work to do at that time, coming off for halftime

1478
01:17:06,280 --> 01:17:08,600
Speaker 6: and and kind of any updates that we've got to

1479
01:17:08,640 --> 01:17:11,120
Speaker 6: do during the course of the game. But UH, hopefully

1480
01:17:11,160 --> 01:17:13,400
Speaker 6: we'll be able to get out into into the uh,

1481
01:17:13,560 --> 01:17:15,880
Speaker 6: into the parking lot a little bit, feel the energy.

1482
01:17:16,000 --> 01:17:18,519
Speaker 6: But we'll be in the trucks watching, uh, watching the

1483
01:17:18,560 --> 01:17:21,920
Speaker 6: one o'clock window games, and and uh then you know,

1484
01:17:22,080 --> 01:17:25,479
Speaker 6: in on the field at halftime and postgame. Uh, for uh,

1485
01:17:25,680 --> 01:17:28,240
Speaker 6: for the Bills chief So looking forward to that, looking

1486
01:17:28,240 --> 01:17:30,439
Speaker 6: forward to being in the stadium for a bit and

1487
01:17:31,280 --> 01:17:33,559
Speaker 6: you know, feeling that energy. But I was, I was

1488
01:17:33,560 --> 01:17:35,800
Speaker 6: thinking about going to that spot, Steve, where we went

1489
01:17:35,840 --> 01:17:38,759
Speaker 6: one night for dinner. I can't remember what those sandwiches

1490
01:17:38,800 --> 01:17:40,840
Speaker 6: were called, the little roast beef beef on it was

1491
01:17:40,880 --> 01:17:41,679
Speaker 6: were pretty good.

1492
01:17:41,520 --> 01:17:45,880
Speaker 1: Though, Oh yeah, well yeah, absolutely, ye you can't. Yeah,

1493
01:17:45,920 --> 01:17:48,080
Speaker 1: you can't take your jacket off without elbowing and place

1494
01:17:48,120 --> 01:17:51,360
Speaker 1: it sales beef on weck here. So I gotta ask

1495
01:17:51,760 --> 01:17:54,920
Speaker 1: I gotta ask you though that this game, you've seen it, Uh,

1496
01:17:55,120 --> 01:17:57,400
Speaker 1: we're we're looking at really we've been talking about a

1497
01:17:57,400 --> 01:17:59,040
Speaker 1: little bit of slice of history. You got a two

1498
01:17:59,080 --> 01:18:02,320
Speaker 1: time defending world champion and then in the third season,

1499
01:18:02,360 --> 01:18:05,840
Speaker 1: coming back after winning two Super Bowls, the Chiefs are undefeated.

1500
01:18:06,240 --> 01:18:08,559
Speaker 1: I mean, this is this is a moment where we

1501
01:18:08,640 --> 01:18:12,280
Speaker 1: have not seen a team sustain this kind of great

1502
01:18:12,320 --> 01:18:15,680
Speaker 1: play for this long. Now they're winning games, but it

1503
01:18:15,720 --> 01:18:17,640
Speaker 1: doesn't look the same as it did when they were

1504
01:18:17,720 --> 01:18:19,280
Speaker 1: high flying, you know, two years ago, when they were

1505
01:18:19,320 --> 01:18:21,880
Speaker 1: throwing it all over the yard. What are your thoughts

1506
01:18:21,920 --> 01:18:24,680
Speaker 1: about this Chiefs team and maybe where their place in

1507
01:18:24,800 --> 01:18:26,200
Speaker 1: history might finally end up.

1508
01:18:29,400 --> 01:18:29,679
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1509
01:18:29,800 --> 01:18:32,200
Speaker 6: I mean it reminds they remind me a lot of

1510
01:18:32,280 --> 01:18:35,639
Speaker 6: kind of that mid two thousand and tens Patriots too, right,

1511
01:18:35,720 --> 01:18:38,200
Speaker 6: where you know, they find ways to win along the

1512
01:18:38,240 --> 01:18:39,960
Speaker 6: way and you look at them during the season and

1513
01:18:39,960 --> 01:18:43,240
Speaker 6: you're wondering, you know, how they're doing it, you know.

1514
01:18:43,320 --> 01:18:46,479
Speaker 6: But defensively they're very solid, and that's the thing that

1515
01:18:46,520 --> 01:18:49,040
Speaker 6: travels every week, right, that keeps you in ball games.

1516
01:18:49,040 --> 01:18:51,280
Speaker 6: They do a really good job on the defensive side

1517
01:18:51,320 --> 01:18:53,799
Speaker 6: of the ball, and then they know how to finish.

1518
01:18:53,880 --> 01:18:56,879
Speaker 6: I mean, offensively, you've got one of the great closers

1519
01:18:56,920 --> 01:18:59,839
Speaker 6: of all time and Patrick Mahomes. But there's a belief,

1520
01:19:00,080 --> 01:19:01,680
Speaker 6: know you see it last week with the way they

1521
01:19:01,720 --> 01:19:04,760
Speaker 6: go out there, they collapse that you know, left side

1522
01:19:04,800 --> 01:19:06,439
Speaker 6: of the line of scrimmage on the on the field

1523
01:19:06,439 --> 01:19:09,160
Speaker 6: goal and go get that block. There's just a belief

1524
01:19:09,200 --> 01:19:11,120
Speaker 6: within that building that they're going to find a way

1525
01:19:11,160 --> 01:19:13,880
Speaker 6: to get it done. And I think their identity right

1526
01:19:13,920 --> 01:19:16,800
Speaker 6: now is that of finishers, Right, They're they're gonna kind

1527
01:19:16,800 --> 01:19:20,639
Speaker 6: of jab the whole game, kind of exchange jabs with

1528
01:19:20,680 --> 01:19:22,760
Speaker 6: you the entire game, and then and then deliver that

1529
01:19:22,840 --> 01:19:25,920
Speaker 6: knockout at the end with with one player two and

1530
01:19:26,000 --> 01:19:29,120
Speaker 6: so I've been really impressed with them. I think they're

1531
01:19:29,120 --> 01:19:31,680
Speaker 6: trending offensively, at least prior to last week, they were

1532
01:19:31,720 --> 01:19:33,519
Speaker 6: trending offensively in the right direction.

1533
01:19:34,120 --> 01:19:34,280
Speaker 1: Uh.

1534
01:19:34,400 --> 01:19:37,200
Speaker 6: Played well, you know against the Raiders, played well against

1535
01:19:37,240 --> 01:19:41,479
Speaker 6: the Buccaneers. I think the addition of DeAndre Hopkins, which

1536
01:19:41,520 --> 01:19:43,639
Speaker 6: we see on the screen right there, he's he's been

1537
01:19:43,640 --> 01:19:46,200
Speaker 6: big for the Chiefs offense, specifically on third down and

1538
01:19:46,240 --> 01:19:47,840
Speaker 6: in the red zone. I think that's the area if

1539
01:19:47,880 --> 01:19:50,560
Speaker 6: you're a Bills fan and you're watching, you want to

1540
01:19:50,600 --> 01:19:53,960
Speaker 6: be able to shut down Dejandre DeAndre Hopkins down in

1541
01:19:53,960 --> 01:19:56,519
Speaker 6: that red zone. I think, in my opinion, this game

1542
01:19:56,560 --> 01:19:59,800
Speaker 6: comes down to the Bills defense holding holding Mahomes in

1543
01:19:59,840 --> 01:20:01,960
Speaker 6: the Kansas City offense to field goals when they get

1544
01:20:01,960 --> 01:20:03,639
Speaker 6: down there in the red area. If they can do that,

1545
01:20:04,320 --> 01:20:06,080
Speaker 6: I think it gives them the best chance to win.

1546
01:20:06,439 --> 01:20:08,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, Bills have been a top ten red zone defense

1547
01:20:08,640 --> 01:20:11,960
Speaker 2: all season long. They've also been darn good at taking

1548
01:20:12,000 --> 01:20:14,120
Speaker 2: the ball away. I mean, number one in the league

1549
01:20:14,160 --> 01:20:17,240
Speaker 2: and turnover differentials second in total takeaways with nineteen through

1550
01:20:17,280 --> 01:20:19,760
Speaker 2: ten games. They've gotten at least one in every game.

1551
01:20:19,800 --> 01:20:23,479
Speaker 2: They've played this season, and Mahome's got a few more

1552
01:20:23,479 --> 01:20:26,479
Speaker 2: interceptions than we've seen from him in recent years, trying

1553
01:20:26,479 --> 01:20:30,040
Speaker 2: to make things happen, presumably more than anything else. The

1554
01:20:30,080 --> 01:20:32,559
Speaker 2: thing I marvel at, though, Matt, and you can probably

1555
01:20:32,600 --> 01:20:35,360
Speaker 2: appreciate this as a former quarterback, is their efficiency on

1556
01:20:35,439 --> 01:20:39,840
Speaker 2: third down is ridiculous, fifty two percent conversion. It leads

1557
01:20:39,880 --> 01:20:42,560
Speaker 2: the league. They are leading the league in time of possession.

1558
01:20:43,360 --> 01:20:46,680
Speaker 2: I'm thinking the Bills and their takeaway prowess is going

1559
01:20:46,760 --> 01:20:49,040
Speaker 2: to have to be present in this game to give

1560
01:20:49,080 --> 01:20:51,639
Speaker 2: their offense a couple of more possessions than the Chiefs

1561
01:20:51,680 --> 01:20:53,479
Speaker 2: so they can't deliver the knockout punch.

1562
01:20:55,760 --> 01:20:57,559
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, we all know it's the number one

1563
01:20:57,640 --> 01:21:01,120
Speaker 6: metric in terms of statistics for wording ball games as takeaways,

1564
01:21:01,120 --> 01:21:03,960
Speaker 6: takeaways and explosive plays, those two ranked one and two.

1565
01:21:04,720 --> 01:21:06,960
Speaker 6: So to me, it is it is about, you know,

1566
01:21:07,520 --> 01:21:10,040
Speaker 6: can they turn can they turn the football over, you know,

1567
01:21:10,200 --> 01:21:13,280
Speaker 6: and and steal some some possessions Because you mentioned that

1568
01:21:13,360 --> 01:21:16,400
Speaker 6: their time of possession, Uh, they shortened the game and

1569
01:21:16,600 --> 01:21:19,840
Speaker 6: and that's kind of been one of their keys to

1570
01:21:19,920 --> 01:21:23,479
Speaker 6: success in this none game win streak is is they're

1571
01:21:23,479 --> 01:21:27,959
Speaker 6: playing short ball games, limited possession ball games, and so, uh,

1572
01:21:28,240 --> 01:21:31,000
Speaker 6: you know you'd love to see if you're a Bills fan,

1573
01:21:31,120 --> 01:21:34,360
Speaker 6: them them getting some turnovers, creating some short field opportunities

1574
01:21:34,960 --> 01:21:39,120
Speaker 6: for Josh and the offense. But you know, I think

1575
01:21:39,120 --> 01:21:40,960
Speaker 6: they're doing a better job with it. I think it's

1576
01:21:41,000 --> 01:21:44,200
Speaker 6: been less reckless the last couple of weeks in terms

1577
01:21:44,240 --> 01:21:48,000
Speaker 6: of the turnovers, right, and and so I think it's

1578
01:21:48,080 --> 01:21:50,679
Speaker 6: gonna be you know, it should be a great matchup,

1579
01:21:51,479 --> 01:21:54,960
Speaker 6: a ton of fun to watch, you know, But but

1580
01:21:55,040 --> 01:21:56,400
Speaker 6: we'll see, we'll see how it shakes out.

1581
01:21:56,640 --> 01:21:58,960
Speaker 1: Matt travels safe, and we'll see up here on Sunday.

1582
01:21:59,000 --> 01:21:59,439
Speaker 1: Good stuff.

1583
01:21:59,520 --> 01:22:01,599
Speaker 6: Appreciate you guys, looking forward to being there Sunday.

1584
01:22:01,640 --> 01:22:03,599
Speaker 2: All right, Safe travels, see you man. Thanks for the time.

1585
01:22:03,640 --> 01:22:07,960
Speaker 2: As always at his former NFL MVP and one of

1586
01:22:07,960 --> 01:22:12,080
Speaker 2: the analysts on the NFL Today the pregame show on CBS.

1587
01:22:12,560 --> 01:22:17,200
Speaker 2: They will be out in Lot six for the games

1588
01:22:17,320 --> 01:22:21,120
Speaker 2: starting at twelve leading up to the one o'clock window games.

1589
01:22:21,160 --> 01:22:23,760
Speaker 1: He really did ask it, like at noon, he was

1590
01:22:23,800 --> 01:22:26,360
Speaker 1: worried that I hope you see people gonna be there,

1591
01:22:26,479 --> 01:22:29,479
Speaker 1: Like I'm like, dude, they're there already.

1592
01:22:29,520 --> 01:22:32,439
Speaker 2: You're gonna you're gonna have too many people there. You're

1593
01:22:32,439 --> 01:22:33,840
Speaker 2: gonna need crowds the games at FO.

1594
01:22:34,200 --> 01:22:35,880
Speaker 1: His thought was the games at four to twenty five,

1595
01:22:35,920 --> 01:22:38,320
Speaker 1: and they're gonna be doing the show at noon, you know,

1596
01:22:38,520 --> 01:22:40,639
Speaker 1: through one o'clock. He's like, gosh, we'll see me. Yeah.

1597
01:22:40,640 --> 01:22:42,400
Speaker 1: I'm like, dude, he's.

1598
01:22:42,040 --> 01:22:44,599
Speaker 2: Used to the Atlanta tailgate scene, and I'm just gonna

1599
01:22:44,600 --> 01:22:48,559
Speaker 2: tell you it's it's in stark contrast, because where that

1600
01:22:48,640 --> 01:22:54,000
Speaker 2: stadium is situated, there are all these different thoroughfares, an overpass,

1601
01:22:54,080 --> 01:22:57,519
Speaker 2: and raised highways going all around the stadium, and it

1602
01:22:57,680 --> 01:23:01,840
Speaker 2: just chops up the whole tale gating areas. In Atlanta,

1603
01:23:01,960 --> 01:23:04,759
Speaker 2: you have lots that are in and around the stadium,

1604
01:23:04,800 --> 01:23:06,840
Speaker 2: but none of them are ticket They're all disjoined.

1605
01:23:06,920 --> 01:23:07,960
Speaker 1: And here's the thing too, it's.

1606
01:23:07,840 --> 01:23:09,519
Speaker 2: Little pockets and tailgater you get.

1607
01:23:09,360 --> 01:23:11,360
Speaker 1: Into a place like like in a Buffalo or a

1608
01:23:11,400 --> 01:23:17,280
Speaker 1: Green Bay, a Chicago, even Kansas City. Right, here's what happens.

1609
01:23:17,960 --> 01:23:21,439
Speaker 1: One of the reasons people will tailgate is the fact

1610
01:23:21,479 --> 01:23:25,719
Speaker 1: that the stadium's outdoors. If you have a dome, people

1611
01:23:25,720 --> 01:23:29,679
Speaker 1: go inside. Yeah, if if the bills, if the Pagoula

1612
01:23:29,720 --> 01:23:32,679
Speaker 1: family and the and Erie County and if they would

1613
01:23:32,680 --> 01:23:36,160
Speaker 1: have built a dome here in Buffalo sooner or later,

1614
01:23:37,160 --> 01:23:39,680
Speaker 1: the entire thing that we know is this bill it

1615
01:23:39,680 --> 01:23:43,240
Speaker 1: would have it would have evaporated bentailiating, yes, because people

1616
01:23:43,240 --> 01:23:45,519
Speaker 1: would just go inside for the game. That's particularly late

1617
01:23:45,520 --> 01:23:49,320
Speaker 1: in the year, and it's just even on nice days.

1618
01:23:50,200 --> 01:23:52,400
Speaker 1: You know, they as soon as they can, they'll be

1619
01:23:52,439 --> 01:23:56,720
Speaker 1: headed inside. It's it's a little bit different. Outdoor stadiums

1620
01:23:56,800 --> 01:24:00,639
Speaker 1: lend them and particularly like venues like this one. You're

1621
01:24:00,640 --> 01:24:03,280
Speaker 1: in Buffalo where there's neighborhoods and you got plenty of space,

1622
01:24:03,320 --> 01:24:06,880
Speaker 1: and it's like all about it. It's perfect for it,

1623
01:24:07,080 --> 01:24:10,000
Speaker 1: and I think it will be perpetuated in large measure

1624
01:24:10,000 --> 01:24:13,840
Speaker 1: because the outdoor stadium is gonna stay outdoors. Well, I

1625
01:24:13,880 --> 01:24:16,120
Speaker 1: know a lot of period a lot of people I've

1626
01:24:16,120 --> 01:24:18,679
Speaker 1: seen in other places, but a lot of people wish

1627
01:24:18,680 --> 01:24:20,920
Speaker 1: they had a dome. And I get the theory behind it,

1628
01:24:20,960 --> 01:24:24,360
Speaker 1: particularly late in the season. But if I think it

1629
01:24:24,400 --> 01:24:29,040
Speaker 1: would cost us if we did it, yeah, in unforeseen ways.

1630
01:24:29,360 --> 01:24:31,880
Speaker 2: I just found it humorous that he was like, well,

1631
01:24:31,920 --> 01:24:34,200
Speaker 2: you know we're on at twelve. Is anybody gonna be there?

1632
01:24:34,240 --> 01:24:35,280
Speaker 2: Is anybody gonna be there?

1633
01:24:35,600 --> 01:24:37,880
Speaker 1: Dude? I was like, you have a hard time getting here.

1634
01:24:37,920 --> 01:24:39,639
Speaker 2: I said, back when we had a camp, back when

1635
01:24:39,680 --> 01:24:41,280
Speaker 2: we had a camper a lot, because we don't have

1636
01:24:41,320 --> 01:24:43,760
Speaker 2: one right now due to the construction. But back when

1637
01:24:43,760 --> 01:24:45,400
Speaker 2: we had a camper a lot, those people are rolling

1638
01:24:45,439 --> 01:24:48,160
Speaker 2: in today. Oh yeah, you know at like five o'clock.

1639
01:24:48,479 --> 01:24:51,960
Speaker 2: It's a four day weekend. Oh yeah, are people going

1640
01:24:52,000 --> 01:24:52,519
Speaker 2: to be here?

1641
01:24:52,640 --> 01:24:53,599
Speaker 1: Matt trust us.

1642
01:24:54,800 --> 01:24:56,240
Speaker 2: He's such a neophyte with that.

1643
01:24:56,720 --> 01:24:59,559
Speaker 1: But yeah, people don't know, they don't know a game

1644
01:24:59,640 --> 01:24:59,920
Speaker 1: like this.

1645
01:25:00,040 --> 01:25:03,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he and he rarely even got here as

1646
01:25:03,560 --> 01:25:07,320
Speaker 2: an Atlanta Falcon. He only played here once every eight years,

1647
01:25:07,720 --> 01:25:09,800
Speaker 2: so and even one of those times, I think he

1648
01:25:09,840 --> 01:25:14,719
Speaker 2: was injured and didn't play. So yeah, he just hasn't

1649
01:25:14,720 --> 01:25:18,720
Speaker 2: experienced it, plain and simple. So you know, we don't

1650
01:25:18,760 --> 01:25:22,479
Speaker 2: fault you on his fault. But he apparently is a

1651
01:25:22,479 --> 01:25:24,360
Speaker 2: big fan of beef on Wick. He was up here

1652
01:25:24,360 --> 01:25:27,559
Speaker 2: in the summer because, as you know, our good friend

1653
01:25:27,600 --> 01:25:30,800
Speaker 2: Andrew Catalan, who's also on the NFL on CBS, he

1654
01:25:30,840 --> 01:25:34,400
Speaker 2: does our preseason games with Steve was Matt Ryan.

1655
01:25:34,000 --> 01:25:37,719
Speaker 1: Two summers ago. It wasn't two summers ago, one season,

1656
01:25:37,880 --> 01:25:38,360
Speaker 1: so he was.

1657
01:25:38,360 --> 01:25:41,800
Speaker 2: New to CBS recently retired just retired, and he wanted

1658
01:25:41,800 --> 01:25:43,320
Speaker 2: to kind of get the feel for the EBB and

1659
01:25:43,360 --> 01:25:44,920
Speaker 2: flow of the broadcast. So we wanted to see you

1660
01:25:44,960 --> 01:25:47,679
Speaker 2: two guys in action here. And Andrew was nice enough

1661
01:25:47,680 --> 01:25:50,120
Speaker 2: to invite him to come up and so, yeah, you

1662
01:25:50,120 --> 01:25:53,320
Speaker 2: guys kind of took him around town, played around a

1663
01:25:53,360 --> 01:25:55,320
Speaker 2: golf and did a little beef on weck.

1664
01:25:55,280 --> 01:25:57,519
Speaker 1: Just had some beef on weck obviously wings and we

1665
01:25:58,600 --> 01:26:00,360
Speaker 1: took him around this place and showed and he was

1666
01:26:00,400 --> 01:26:02,120
Speaker 1: in the booth with us for the game as well,

1667
01:26:02,360 --> 01:26:04,439
Speaker 1: and he wanted to see how the how it was done.

1668
01:26:05,080 --> 01:26:07,120
Speaker 1: And of course I'd been doing it for twenty years

1669
01:26:07,120 --> 01:26:09,920
Speaker 1: with CBS and with Andrew Catalan as well. Andrew's you know,

1670
01:26:10,000 --> 01:26:12,840
Speaker 1: top notch got with them, so he wanted to and

1671
01:26:12,880 --> 01:26:15,439
Speaker 1: he did one full year in the booth with Andrew,

1672
01:26:16,120 --> 01:26:18,960
Speaker 1: and then of course they shook things up at CBS.

1673
01:26:19,000 --> 01:26:22,200
Speaker 1: Now he's in the studio. Gotta take he's a great dude. Yeah,

1674
01:26:22,200 --> 01:26:23,200
Speaker 1: he's a really great dude.

1675
01:26:23,320 --> 01:26:25,559
Speaker 2: Gotta take a break here when we come back. One

1676
01:26:25,640 --> 01:26:28,920
Speaker 2: final segment for you, as we tell you what's coming

1677
01:26:28,960 --> 01:26:31,800
Speaker 2: from the coach's office. We'll break that down next here

1678
01:26:31,800 --> 01:26:34,240
Speaker 2: on One Bill's Live Presented by Kilida Health. It's Buffalo

1683
01:27:04,200 --> 01:27:08,880
Speaker 2: be shortthanded in terms of player availability. What's the approach

1684
01:27:08,920 --> 01:27:10,120
Speaker 2: from the coaches off from me?

1685
01:27:11,000 --> 01:27:15,400
Speaker 1: We've been chewing this up all week. I think nobody

1686
01:27:15,439 --> 01:27:17,800
Speaker 1: who's not one hundred percent healthy gets into this game.

1687
01:27:19,280 --> 01:27:23,000
Speaker 1: And once you make those decisions and get your roster set,

1688
01:27:23,040 --> 01:27:25,920
Speaker 1: then it's it's gopher broke. It's like four downs, let's

1689
01:27:25,960 --> 01:27:28,879
Speaker 1: go for it. We're gonna you know, we're no punts,

1690
01:27:29,320 --> 01:27:31,080
Speaker 1: you know, and the whole thing, fake field goal on.

1691
01:27:31,640 --> 01:27:33,760
Speaker 1: We go for it and try and beat that team.

1692
01:27:34,160 --> 01:27:36,720
Speaker 1: But only the healthiest of guys get to play in

1693
01:27:36,760 --> 01:27:40,040
Speaker 1: this game. You got a bye week coming up. You

1694
01:27:40,040 --> 01:27:44,479
Speaker 1: can come out of this bye week and set yourself

1695
01:27:44,560 --> 01:27:47,280
Speaker 1: up for a stretch run that is gonna be really important.

1696
01:27:47,320 --> 01:27:50,000
Speaker 1: You have six games left to get lined up and

1697
01:27:50,120 --> 01:27:55,320
Speaker 1: win the division. So I swat that's my thought. If

1698
01:27:55,360 --> 01:27:59,120
Speaker 1: you're not one hundred percent healthy, you're gonna get a

1699
01:27:59,120 --> 01:28:01,280
Speaker 1: couple of weeks off and we're going.

1700
01:28:01,280 --> 01:28:03,320
Speaker 2: To you're gonna play You think the coaches are going

1701
01:28:03,360 --> 01:28:04,200
Speaker 2: to play the long game.

1702
01:28:04,240 --> 01:28:06,040
Speaker 1: I think you do, and you try and go for it.

1703
01:28:07,720 --> 01:28:10,760
Speaker 1: That's my thought. That's my thought. But I and I too.

1704
01:28:10,840 --> 01:28:13,040
Speaker 1: I like I said, I the fake punt that they

1705
01:28:13,439 --> 01:28:16,160
Speaker 1: blew out here in the division, I putting different fake

1706
01:28:16,240 --> 01:28:19,400
Speaker 1: punt in, put different a fake field goal in everything careful.

1707
01:28:19,520 --> 01:28:22,240
Speaker 2: That's one of the best special teams coaches in football.

1708
01:28:22,680 --> 01:28:26,160
Speaker 1: Talb is he's very good. Oh yeah, so I you know,

1709
01:28:26,240 --> 01:28:32,320
Speaker 1: I that's what I do. I get the healthiest guys,

1710
01:28:32,560 --> 01:28:34,680
Speaker 1: get the roster where it is, and then go for it.

1711
01:28:34,800 --> 01:28:41,639
Speaker 2: I do find that more players respect the aggressive approach

1712
01:28:42,840 --> 01:28:47,200
Speaker 2: than maybe anything else. Like when a coach stands up

1713
01:28:47,240 --> 01:28:49,880
Speaker 2: in the front of the room and says, our game

1714
01:28:49,920 --> 01:28:52,040
Speaker 2: plan is to be aggressive. We're going for this dang

1715
01:28:52,080 --> 01:28:53,960
Speaker 2: thing that makes the hair on the back of the

1716
01:28:53,960 --> 01:28:55,080
Speaker 2: guy's next stand.

1717
01:28:54,880 --> 01:28:57,519
Speaker 1: Because it it puts it in their lap. Now they

1718
01:28:57,600 --> 01:28:59,920
Speaker 1: they're the ones the coach they're not. They're not holding.

1719
01:29:00,080 --> 01:29:02,960
Speaker 1: But that's what players love. It's a challenge to them.

1720
01:29:03,120 --> 01:29:05,800
Speaker 1: It's like one of those things where you know, are

1721
01:29:05,840 --> 01:29:09,000
Speaker 1: you good enough, Let's see and then it's like, all right,

1722
01:29:09,120 --> 01:29:12,439
Speaker 1: let's go. You know that kind of stuff. It's a

1723
01:29:12,439 --> 01:29:16,519
Speaker 1: great philosophy, and players appreciate it. Believe me, they play

1724
01:29:16,640 --> 01:29:18,560
Speaker 1: they play well in those situations.

1725
01:29:18,760 --> 01:29:21,880
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean it would get just about anybody that's

1726
01:29:21,880 --> 01:29:24,160
Speaker 2: got an ounce of competitive juice and them fired up

1727
01:29:24,200 --> 01:29:27,000
Speaker 2: for sure. Not that they need any for a matchup

1728
01:29:27,080 --> 01:29:30,000
Speaker 2: like this. I mean, people can these players can talk

1729
01:29:30,160 --> 01:29:32,120
Speaker 2: just another game till they're blue in the face. I'm

1730
01:29:32,160 --> 01:29:34,519
Speaker 2: not buying it for a single second. That's all I

1731
01:29:34,520 --> 01:29:35,280
Speaker 2: gotta say.

1732
01:29:36,200 --> 01:29:37,719
Speaker 1: It's gonna be juice, good stuff.

1733
01:29:37,800 --> 01:29:40,200
Speaker 2: That's all for us today. We'll be out on location
