1
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 1: Had a Steve Tasker who has been all over the field,

2
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:12,400
Speaker 1: kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

3
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 1: player for you, state Steve a blimp. We're not even

4
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 1: in the strated bear of normalcy. All right. There we

5
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 1: are on a Friday before a big Sunday night game,

6
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:35,560
Speaker 1: Bill's Chiefs Sunday night football. People are pumped, Steve. People

7
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 1: are pumped. So am I? I what did you think

8
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 1: of the game last night? I was ready to, Like

9
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: I was ready to. I was ready to talk to

10
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 1: you about double punt gate. Um. I had friends texted

11
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: me last night, Hey, wait, what's the rule there? Can

12
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: you do that? What the hell's going on? And I

13
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, it's as long as the first punt

14
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 1: doesn't cross the line of scrimmage. Sure, go kick it again.

15
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: You get it five times if you want. It doesn't

16
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: cross the line of scrimmage. You could He could have

17
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 1: dropped kicked it too, but it wouldn't have been the same.

18
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: But uh, yeah that if it doesn't go if it

19
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: doesn't go past the line of scrimmage, it is not

20
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 1: considered a punt, right. So um, he did the right thing,

21
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: no question, And it could have done a little quicker,

22
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: but obviously it ended up really really good for the Rams.

23
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 1: It is like, what was it a sixty eight yeard kick? Yeah,

24
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 1: it was something like the great job by the Seahawks

25
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: special teams, you know, making the best of a bad situation.

26
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: I mean that punter well, heck, yeah, Dixon was that

27
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: was a smart move to make the ball and sort

28
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: it out later. Because even so you'll take the penalty,

29
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: you know if if you have to, and just get

30
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: rid of the ball, get the ball to the other end.

31
00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: The field position is what you're worried about. And so

32
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: if if the Rams even get the ball, it's okay

33
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: as long as they get in their own end, because

34
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: that was what was going to happen anyway. How about

35
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: the scoop he does, Yeah, that was that's pretty impressive,

36
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 1: spinning fast and he just palmed it with one hand.

37
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 1: Now that might have been the most impressive part of

38
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 1: the whole thing. Well, Brownie, the most impressive part of

39
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 1: the whole thing is that that punter got off the field.

40
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: You know how hard he was puckering right there. But

41
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,839
Speaker 1: look at this. Watch this palm. What I mean, that's

42
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 1: like a third baseman bare hand in it throwing it

43
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: to first. If you had a thermometer or or a

44
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: bar graph as to where his adrenaline was at the

45
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 1: start of that play, to the end of that play,

46
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: his adrenaline levels were popping out the top of the thermometer.

47
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 1: He could have he could have bare handed us bowling

48
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: ball right there and picked it up. Kudos to him, man, though,

49
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 1: that was an alert play. I give him a lot

50
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: of credit for that because first time I've ever seen it. Though,

51
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: Mike Mike Pereira, who was the Fox analyst on for

52
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: the referees, you know, goop chimes in. They got two

53
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 1: different things. He said it was a penalty, and they

54
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 1: did throw the flag, but it was all discombobulated how

55
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 1: the officials administered the rule and how you can't you know,

56
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 1: you can't punt it. And he did look like he

57
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: was past the line of scrimmage when he punted that thing.

58
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: He was just at or beyond the line of scrimmage.

59
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: So there's a lot going on there, and I'm sure

60
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: the league is gonna say, okay, guys, let's uh. They'll

61
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: send out a video and say here's how it goes,

62
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: because well, you know, the Bills have already had one

63
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: block for a punt for a touchdown this year in

64
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: game one, and so's it'll happen again, and you know

65
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: it's a smart play by Dixon, really smarting again. The

66
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: other smart The other news to come out of that game,

67
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson injured finger. They were getting a check today

68
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: to check on the charity of what was called a

69
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: sprained finger. It's the middle finger on his throwing hand,

70
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: which is a key finger. Maybe not as critical as

71
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: the thumber, the index, but it's right behind it. Um

72
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: it looks as if he jammed it on the arm

73
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: of Aaron Donald. I think it was, and I've actually

74
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:26,599
Speaker 1: seen what I what I believe is his injury before.

75
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 1: He cannot straighten out the last knuckle on his middle finger,

76
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:35,599
Speaker 1: which essentially means he's either stretched or torn the tendon

77
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 1: that allows him to flex the final knuckle. My dad

78
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:45,039
Speaker 1: had that and my brother in law had that. I

79
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: don't know that it was either torn or whether the

80
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 1: joint was just dislocated. If it was just dislo if

81
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 1: he's dislocated it, I think you're right. I think it's

82
00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 1: torn because if it's disdislocated. With all due respect to

83
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: Russell in his toughness. He's back in the game. Yeah,

84
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 1: because you just pop it back in and off you go. Right. Yeah,

85
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: I mean that. Yeah, I think it's mean. I think

86
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,159
Speaker 1: it's a stretched it's a stretched or it's a torn

87
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 1: tendon on that last knuckle. And you say, well, what's

88
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: the big deal, Well, you've got if you if that thing,

89
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,720
Speaker 1: you can't flex it back up again. So here's the thing.

90
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: It feels like your hand is stretched out straight, but

91
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: you've got a finger that's been it's drooping. Yeah, it's

92
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: drooping right, and you can't feel it, and you have

93
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 1: no no flex strength to squeeze the ball with that finger,

94
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: so it will reduce the torque and spin you can

95
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 1: put on the ball when you throw it right. And

96
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, I was, I was a little bit.

97
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 1: My eyebrows were up, like, why is he not back

98
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 1: in the game. Yeah, I think he may can't grip

99
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: the ball, right, I think that's the problem. I don't

100
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 1: want to. I don't want to. I don't want to

101
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 1: be a little I mean, I'm gonna say he's not

102
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:58,159
Speaker 1: a tough guy or anything like that, but I'm I

103
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 1: was surprised by that quite frankly, yeah, and I'm not

104
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:03,359
Speaker 1: gonna I don't know anything about it. It might be

105
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: way worse, and we may maybe talking out on both

106
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 1: sides of my mouth, But to me, even for a

107
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,919
Speaker 1: quarterback who's got to throw the football on his throwing hand,

108
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 1: you take those things up and you make a couple

109
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 1: of adjustments on the you throw about three or four

110
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: balls on the sidelines, and you get Now, maybe when

111
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: he threw the ball on the sidelines, the thing was

112
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:27,840
Speaker 1: going haywire. He couldn't control it. Okay, that's different, right,

113
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 1: And you're talking about one of the most accurate quarterbacks

114
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:35,559
Speaker 1: in football. And then from the brink of oblivion comes

115
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:40,039
Speaker 1: Gino Smith. I mean, this was an easy guy to

116
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 1: forget the junk out of the cobwebs, blow the dust

117
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 1: off the shoulder pads of this guy. Oh look it's

118
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 1: Gino Smith. Let's throw him in the game and see

119
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: what he can do. I gotta tell you, he popped

120
00:06:54,680 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 1: out there, and I was like, no, Gino Smith his

121
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson's backup. I didn't know. I mean, all we

122
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,280
Speaker 1: all we needed was for it to be a few

123
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: weeks later, for it to be like Halloween, and he

124
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 1: comes out through a smoke machine. That's the only thing

125
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 1: that would have made it better. Gino Smith broken jaw,

126
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 1: Gino who it was. He made some he made some

127
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: plays through a touchdown pass he did. Hey, I gotta

128
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: tell you, I see what they see. You know, Okay,

129
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 1: I get it. He's he was more than serviceable. Good

130
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 1: for him. Of course, you know, the next the next

131
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 1: time he comes out, you know, he throws the pick

132
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 1: on the deciding you know, on the on the last

133
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 1: chance they have. Although they were down nine, I mean,

134
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 1: it's not like they were gonna come back and win it.

135
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: But I think you gotta you gotta tip your hat

136
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 1: to Gino for that drive he put together there him

137
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: to sixteen. Yeah, it was very good and I was

138
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: really surprised he was able to do that. But by

139
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 1: the same token, I'm with you. I was like, we

140
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 1: got what is that Gino trivia question? The first quarterback

141
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 1: taken after EJ. Manual in the draft twenty thirteen, Yeah

142
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 1: it was Gino. Gino was the first quarterback taken after

143
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 1: EJ in round two. So there you go, we should

144
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 1: take in genow. EJ was in all fairness to EJ.

145
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 1: He was thrown into a very volatile situation which did

146
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: not go according to bad era, which did not go

147
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 1: according to plan in any number of ways you choose

148
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 1: to describe it. Let me just say this, Brownie, You

149
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 1: and I we lived through the drought and all the

150
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 1: ramifications and permutations that of our fandom that you know, end,

151
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: our professional lives that went into that. Are we at

152
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 1: a point now? I think we're almost the point where

153
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: you can look back on it and like we just

154
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,040
Speaker 1: did like you and chuckle about a lot of it.

155
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm at chuckling yet. I can smirk,

156
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: I can smile. I don't know if I'm you know what,

157
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 1: It's still too fresh for cig relief. It's more of us.

158
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 1: It's still a cigh relief, right, a little bit, not

159
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: more than not really a chuckle. It's still too fresh

160
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 1: for me. Yeah, the stab hasn't healed yet. The wounds

161
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 1: go deep. I will say that, the wounds go deep.

162
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 1: But I was just we're almost the point now where

163
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 1: you thinking, you know what, it's almost not quite now.

164
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: If this team goes and does everything we hope it

165
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 1: will be and we you know, the Lombardies in Buffalo

166
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: and all that yigdy yigody. Then it becomes nostalgic to

167
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 1: think back, right, it's easier to stomach reviewing it. Yes, Um,

168
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: we talked about because then you can then you can

169
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 1: rationalize it by saying, Okay, it was all worth it. Yeah,

170
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,199
Speaker 1: even though that has nothing to do with the construction

171
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 1: of this team in any way, shape or form. True. Um,

172
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: we talked about the Russell Wilson injury. We wanted to

173
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 1: bring you up to date on the Bill's injuries because

174
00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 1: the list was long this week. The good news is Thursday,

175
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: Greg Rousseau returned to practice, practiced fully, returning from the

176
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: toe injury that kept him out of Wednesday's practice. He

177
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: looks good to go. We'll wait for the Friday injury

178
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: report to come out, but he's practicing again today, so

179
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 1: that's a good sign. Dredavious White's been limited all week

180
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: in practice, wearing a red non contact jersey because of

181
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: a shoulder injury. Practicing again today. I don't see him

182
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 1: missing this game, so I'm not terribly worried about him.

183
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: It looks like Jordan Poyer is ready to return, even

184
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 1: though he's been limited all week. He's practicing again for

185
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 1: a third straight day today. Tarn Johnson will be back

186
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 1: in the lineup. He's been a full participant all week.

187
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 1: John Feliciano fully cleared from the concussion protocol. He is

188
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 1: good to go. Where we have some question marks. Aj

189
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 1: Epinessa who pops up on the injury report yesterday with

190
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 1: a foot injury suffered in practice limited yesterday. He is

191
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: practicing today. Matt Milano no practice Wednesday, no practice Thursday.

192
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 1: Out there today. Coach already said he will be limited today.

193
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 1: I don't know where to come down on this, but

194
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: when you only practice Friday and you're limited, I gotta

195
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:25,839
Speaker 1: believe you're on the more unfavorable side of questionable at best. Yeah.

196
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 1: I think so too. I mean, we're just speculating, but

197
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 1: we don't know. I mean, I'm in I'm for goodeness sakes,

198
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: I'm in Alaska. So but that's the that's the crucial element.

199
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,719
Speaker 1: And I think Bill's fans and rightfully so. I think

200
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 1: the Bill's front officer coaching everybody in that building. Everybody

201
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 1: in the building thinks, you know, you've got to hit

202
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 1: on all cylinders to beat the Chiefs. Yeah, and Milano

203
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 1: is an important cylinder. So is Tradavious White. You know

204
00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 1: all these guys you need him. Not only do you

205
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:04,199
Speaker 1: need them Brownie on the field, they gotta play good.

206
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,839
Speaker 1: They gotta play good well. And more important and more

207
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: importantly Steve as Sean McDermott told me when I asked

208
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,680
Speaker 1: him about the Chiefs this week, he said, this is

209
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,839
Speaker 1: a track team on a football field. You need all

210
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 1: your fast guys that you can get. And Matt Milano,

211
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,680
Speaker 1: he's one of the two fastest linebackers on the roster.

212
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 1: If he can't play, it's probably a J. Klein, as

213
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 1: we saw last week. So I ask you, how much

214
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 1: do you think the game plan defensively we'll have to

215
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 1: morphen change if Klein has to play instead of Milano,

216
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 1: because we know you cannot ask AJ Klein to do

217
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 1: the same things that Matt Milano does on the field defensively,

218
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: it has to change to some degree, right, I would

219
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 1: submit this, if Milano doesn't play, maybe one of the

220
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 1: back maybe one of the faster linebackers, goes ahead of Klein.

221
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,559
Speaker 1: Man in a game of this magnitude. The only reason

222
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 1: I agree with the athleticism argument that you're bringing here,

223
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 1: you know, like a Tyrrell Dodson for example. The only

224
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: reason I hesitate with that is because what do coaches

225
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 1: value more than anything else the ability to trust the

226
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 1: players they put on the field. And it is clear

227
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 1: to me they trust a J. Klein. I get that,

228
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 1: but this is all I mean. You've got a guy

229
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: like Dotson's been around the block here, he should know

230
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,440
Speaker 1: what he's doing. And then, let's face it, this is

231
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 1: going to be a specific game play. It's not like

232
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 1: they have to build an entire defense around this guy

233
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 1: or have him play different roles or look at they

234
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 1: can get him ready for what the Chiefs are gonna do,

235
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 1: and he's probably is a little pretty ready. But I

236
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised if one of these guys or you know,

237
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 1: Siran Neil or what are these other athletic guys, gets

238
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 1: a chance to step up in there and say, okay, listen,

239
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 1: if if Milano's not in there, we're gonna we're gonna

240
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 1: get some more speed on the field because of what

241
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 1: the Chiefs do. Yeah, I don't know, that's just me

242
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:18,559
Speaker 1: throwing stuff, you know, running stuff up the flagpole. But

243
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: if that's the case, and I agree with McDermott, I

244
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 1: mean this is a track team and they turn guys loose.

245
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 1: There's something to think about. And I don't know, maybe

246
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 1: I think, I know the Chiefs are thinking about it too.

247
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 1: I do think, though, if Milano can't play, and the

248
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 1: decision is kline for the majority of the defensive snaps,

249
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 1: you know, maybe in I don't know, if it's kline

250
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 1: for the majority of defensive snaps in Milano's plays. If

251
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 1: he cannot play, I think the game plan defensively you

252
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 1: have to deploy him in a much different way than

253
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 1: you do Matt Milano. Almost to the point, Steve, where

254
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 1: I wonder and openly speculate, do you make a J.

255
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 1: Klein the mic and do you make Tremaine Edmunds the

256
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 1: weekside linebacker? Yeah? I mean I see that, although I

257
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know if Tremaine's got the change

258
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 1: of direction he might need to do that. And plus

259
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 1: I don't know that you want to change two spots

260
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 1: rather than just one. You got a Pro Bowl guy

261
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 1: inside linebacker, guy who was AFC Defensive Player of the

262
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 1: Week last week. You know, don't leave thee him out

263
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 1: of your line up. Yeah, you don't want to take

264
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 1: him out of your line up and put him someplace

265
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 1: where he's not comfortable. Make him. Then you got to

266
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 1: two positions playing with replacements. So don't overthink it and

267
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 1: remain because Edmonds would be a replacement, you know, all right,

268
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 1: So don't overthink it. But you're gonna have You're gonna

269
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: have to use Klein in a different way. You cannot

270
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 1: ask him to do the things that Matt Milano does.

271
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: We saw, we saw the error in that thinking. I

272
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 1: think the first or second time Klein had to spell

273
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 1: Milano and it just flat out did not work. He

274
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 1: was getting out flying to the edges in the run

275
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: game and just cannot execute in the same way that

276
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 1: Malana does because he just doesn't have the same footspeed.

277
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 1: Then they figured out the only reason. Then they figured

278
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 1: out what Klein can do well, and the guy was

279
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 1: defensive player of the Week in the AFC against the Seahawks. Right,

280
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 1: that's right, that's right. They let him do what he

281
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 1: does best. Now, maybe that's part of their plan. Maybe

282
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 1: they were planning on doing this anyway. You know, maybe

283
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 1: Climb is going to have an expanded role because when

284
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 1: you're sending him forward, guy's pretty tough, he's big, he's

285
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 1: big and thick, and he's and he's a really good

286
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 1: technician and pass rusher stout and filling the gaps, you know. Yeah,

287
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 1: and he can take you know, Clyde Edwards a layer

288
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 1: one on one client can hold his own inside some space.

289
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 1: So yeah, there's all of that, And I'm sure all

290
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 1: the things we're talking about is going to be part

291
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 1: of what's going on on Sunday night. But you know

292
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 1: the question is what percentage of Matt Malone or what

293
00:16:57,680 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 1: he would have been doing is going to be done

294
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 1: by somebody else or or not done at all, or yeah,

295
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 1: or just completely scrapped. Yeah, or maybe sirand Neil comes

296
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,399
Speaker 1: in does some of it. Aj Flind does a little

297
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:12,120
Speaker 1: other of it, or you know, whatever, whichever they got,

298
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 1: they gotta find a way. I'm with you. The thing

299
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 1: that Milano brings is his athleticism and his speed is tackling,

300
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:22,640
Speaker 1: and the guys are really sure tackler. He just does

301
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 1: so much. Nine, he does so much. Well. Yeah, and

302
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 1: they didn't have and we should and we should note this, Steve.

303
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 1: They didn't have Milano in Week six last year for

304
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 1: that game. So this is the second regular season game

305
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,959
Speaker 1: against the Chiefs that where they may not have Milano again.

306
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 1: I mean, we'll wait till the Friday injury report comes

307
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:46,199
Speaker 1: out to list his status, which we hope to have

308
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:48,479
Speaker 1: before the end of the show today. But if he

309
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:51,919
Speaker 1: can't go on Sunday night, that's the second time in

310
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 1: consecutive years that he is unable to go against the

311
00:17:55,600 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 1: Chiefs in a Gigundo game here. So it's just it's unfortunate.

312
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:03,919
Speaker 1: It's just flat out unfortunate. Matt Milano is not the

313
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 1: only player on this roster you're nursing a hamstring injury.

314
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 1: So too is Taiwan Jones, one of their gunners on

315
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 1: you know, punk coverage, kickoff coverage. He's out. You know,

316
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 1: he's a core special teamer, and Taiwan did not practice

317
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:21,640
Speaker 1: Wednesday or Thursday. He is out there today and so

318
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 1: we'll have to wait and see what his status is

319
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 1: as well. I mean, we talked about this being a

320
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: track team. Some of their best track athletes are returning

321
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 1: punts and kicks. Yeah, that's right, and that's take it

322
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 1: from me. Those guys are scary, they're dangerous, and you

323
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 1: gotta you gotta, you gotta treat him like you're a

324
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 1: sheep dog. And you're trying to hem them in. You know,

325
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 1: you're trying to keep him from getting out of the corral.

326
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 1: I mean, that's basically what you're doing. You're not gonna

327
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 1: outrun him. You just gotta make sure no matter where

328
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 1: he runs, he's not gonna run in a certain directs

329
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:02,440
Speaker 1: and then let somebody and let the pursuit catch up

330
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 1: to him unless you get a free shot or if

331
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 1: it's a high kick, if you can get hawked to

332
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 1: put the ball up and high behind the air. One

333
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 1: of the things I think is the guys don't do

334
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:17,360
Speaker 1: enough of is when you get down there and you've

335
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 1: got two guys double team in year, or you've got

336
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 1: a single single team and you're the guy that's blocking

337
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 1: you as a gunner is down there is grabbing the

338
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:29,439
Speaker 1: guy and deliberately pushing him into the return man and

339
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 1: see if you can get a bad bounce so you

340
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,879
Speaker 1: can get the return man to muffett or bang it

341
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 1: off of one of them and have it get on

342
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 1: the ground so you can get it. I mean, I

343
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 1: don't think enough players do that, but I think if

344
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 1: you can, if you ever get single, that's got to

345
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,679
Speaker 1: be your mindset, because that the object of every special

346
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 1: teams plays to end the play with the ball. Even

347
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 1: if you're the punt team, you want to get the

348
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 1: ball back. Kickoff team, you want to get the ball back.

349
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 1: You don't what you want to tackle him inside the ten,

350
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 1: You want the ball. I mean, that's that's the idea.

351
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 1: So it's when you get into a game like this.

352
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 1: I'm not saying you go in thinking or knowing or

353
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:09,439
Speaker 1: feeling like you've got to make a play like a

354
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 1: big play, a difference making play. You should think that

355
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 1: every game. You should think at every play, But in

356
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 1: a game like this, uh yeah, it goes to the

357
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 1: top of the priority of this. You gotta try some things,

358
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:23,359
Speaker 1: you know, you gotta you kind of gotta put the

359
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,360
Speaker 1: throttle all the way down and throw off the brakes

360
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 1: and go um. So when they especially when they because

361
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 1: of the Chiefs, this is another game for them. It

362
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:36,640
Speaker 1: may be more than another game for the Chiefs because

363
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 1: they see the baggage that the Bills bring in here

364
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 1: with them. If the Chiefs come back and crush a

365
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 1: team like Buffalo, they're right back to the top of

366
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 1: the heap in the AFC. Right, even though they currently

367
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 1: say last in the West. Yeah, that they'll be right

368
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 1: back to the top of the conversation. Then that means

369
00:20:56,359 --> 00:21:00,639
Speaker 1: something to them too. So I think, you know, for

370
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 1: them in this return game, Yeah, they've got a lot

371
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 1: of fast guys. They've got a lot of guys that

372
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 1: can really go. But I think it comes down to

373
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 1: I think it comes down to the Bill's ability and

374
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:12,119
Speaker 1: Tan one Joe's a big part of it. It's a team.

375
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:16,400
Speaker 1: It's a team rep It's not you know, Zach Moss

376
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:18,200
Speaker 1: getting handed the ball on a draw play where you

377
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: see what he can do. This is eleven guys on

378
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 1: special teams. Every play you gotta and you gotta try

379
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:27,119
Speaker 1: and get the ball back every shot. So Mikole Hardman

380
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 1: is their punt returner. Byron Pringle their kick returner, and

381
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 1: if I remember, Pringle had a nice return against them

382
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 1: last year in the regular season. The only injury question

383
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 1: mark for the Chiefs of note looks to be Pro

384
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 1: Bowl defensive lineman Chris Jones. It's been dealing with a

385
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:48,200
Speaker 1: wrist injury. Did not practice Wednesday or Thursday. Andy Reid,

386
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 1: when I asked about it, said he really just needs

387
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 1: to rest it. So my inclination is they'll rest him

388
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 1: all week in practice, tape it up and they'll play

389
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 1: on Sunday. But he has not looked very effective the

390
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,400
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks, and it's probably due in part

391
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 1: to that risk injury. So we'll see how he is listed.

392
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 1: Maybe the more important question here Steve is throughout the season.

393
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,200
Speaker 1: Since the regular season started, they took a Pro Bowl

394
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: defensive tackle and Chris Jones and moved him to left

395
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 1: defensive end, and he has been relatively ineffective out there.

396
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 1: Maybe the rist has something to do with it. I

397
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 1: don't know, I'm wondering, and they do reduce him inside

398
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 1: and obvious passing situations to his more familiar defensive tackle spot.

399
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 1: I'm wondering if he moves inside permanently this week if

400
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 1: he plays, Because it looks like Frank Clark is healthy

401
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 1: and ready to return from his hamstring injury after missing

402
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:46,399
Speaker 1: a couple of games. It also looks like Rashad Fenton

403
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 1: Charvarious Ward, who are two of their top four corners,

404
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:53,959
Speaker 1: are healthy and we'll be back in the lineup. They

405
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:59,879
Speaker 1: were both inactive last week, so this defense is getting

406
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 1: noticeably healthier. It's been awful. I mean, that defense has

407
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 1: been a train wreck. The first four weeks of the season,

408
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 1: but they are getting healthier. You would you would anticipate

409
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:14,159
Speaker 1: at least an uptick in their level of play. The

410
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 1: Chiefs don't have anybody who's not going to play in

411
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,399
Speaker 1: this game that they want. They're going to be fully healthy.

412
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:24,679
Speaker 1: That's that's a that's quite a says something about what

413
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 1: the struggles they've had early in the season as well.

414
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 1: They've had a lot of guys out. I mean, you

415
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,440
Speaker 1: got two of their top quarters out. I mean, yeah,

416
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 1: that's hard to play like that, and they're most athletic

417
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,639
Speaker 1: and they're most athletic. Linebacker Willie Gay Junior started the

418
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,640
Speaker 1: season on ir after getting injured in the last preseason game.

419
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 1: He is back on the roster and he is expected

420
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 1: to start on Sunday Night as well. So now you

421
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:49,159
Speaker 1: have a guy that can be deployed to cover Dawson

422
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 1: Knox in certain past coverage schemes prior to that, prior

423
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 1: to his return, they don't have a linebacker that can

424
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 1: run with Dawson Knox. I mean, they are very fortunate

425
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 1: with the timing of his return this week. Yeah, that's

426
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:05,400
Speaker 1: the Chiefs are healthy. If the Bills go in there

427
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 1: and win this game. Chiefs got no excuses, none, unless

428
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:16,119
Speaker 1: something happens during the game. You know, Um, there's no

429
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 1: excuses for the Chiefs. They are fully healthy. Not that

430
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 1: not that anybody's gonna make them or anything like that.

431
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 1: But even for fans who are fans of this team,

432
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 1: and you got to think that this is the Chiefs,

433
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 1: this is where the Chiefs flex. Sunday night, the Chiefs.

434
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 1: This is a chance for them to flex about Okay,

435
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 1: you think we're stumbling, and watch us now now that

436
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 1: we're fully healthy, watch what we can do. And that's

437
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 1: what it's going to be. That's the mindset they're gonna have.

438
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 1: So this is gonna be a really tough test for Buffalo.

439
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,959
Speaker 1: And and you're right, if all these guys getting healthy

440
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 1: changes the attitude of the locker room, changes the attitude

441
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:49,400
Speaker 1: of the coaching staff, all of that stuff. So as

442
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:51,360
Speaker 1: this as we get deeper and deeper into this week

443
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:54,360
Speaker 1: and these injuries become more and more certain about who

444
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:58,200
Speaker 1: is in who is out, the Chiefs list is almost zero.

445
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 1: You know, he's gonna play with that wrist, whether it's

446
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,679
Speaker 1: you know, you're taped up with a club or whatever.

447
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 1: Nobody stays out of this game on a Sunday night

448
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,399
Speaker 1: game because of that. So I'm I'm totally with you.

449
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:11,879
Speaker 1: I'm I'm just like I was shocked that Russell Wilson

450
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 1: didn't come back into the game the other night with

451
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:19,159
Speaker 1: his finger. I'm shocked if anybody allows an injury like

452
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 1: that to keep him out of this game. The Chiefs,

453
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:24,199
Speaker 1: there's no excuses for the Chiefs. They should win this

454
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:27,200
Speaker 1: game if they're if they feel like they're the better team.

455
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:30,479
Speaker 1: We want to remind you here every Friday, it's the

456
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 1: obl Friday fan mail Bag where Steve and I answer

Speaker 1: Brown who addressed the media, and we'll get you some

463
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:55,160
Speaker 1: of their more notable comments about the game this weekend,

464
00:25:55,320 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 1: about managing the magnitude of the game outside of the building,

465
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 1: knowing that that exists and is percolating, how do they

466
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:09,879
Speaker 1: handle it, how do they compartmentalize it and not internalize

467
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 1: it where it affects their game and their performance on

468
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 1: Sunday Night. We'll get to those guys after we take

469
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 1: a break. We also have Tailgate Friday, so if you

470
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 1: haven't sent in exactly what your plans are for this weekend,

471
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 1: please do so. I actually saw one, Steve. There's a

472
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 1: Bills fan who actually lives out in Missouri and he

473
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 1: has a flagpole in front of his house and he

474
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:41,119
Speaker 1: flies his Bills flag every single day and his plan

475
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,119
Speaker 1: Sunday night is to shoot off fireworks every time the

476
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 1: Bills score. So that's just a small example of what

477
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,359
Speaker 1: we have in store for Tailgate Friday coming up in

478
00:26:55,400 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 1: about twenty minutes. Yeah. That, well, it's hard to be

479
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:04,639
Speaker 1: a pilgrim in an unholy land. All I can say

480
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:07,920
Speaker 1: is that, right, So, when you're a Bills fan in Foxborough,

481
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 1: or you're a Bills fan in Miami, your Bills fan wherever,

482
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 1: like in Kansas City or you know, you got I

483
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 1: say this, and I'm a I'm not the most you

484
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:21,399
Speaker 1: know out there guy, but you got to take the

485
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 1: temperature your neighborhood. You don't want your flagpole and get

486
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 1: chopped off, right, I mean so, yeah, if the neighbor.

487
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 1: If it's all in good fun, then the neighborhood gets it,

488
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:33,919
Speaker 1: then yeah, I'm all for it. He does say he

489
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:37,879
Speaker 1: waves to his Chief Chiefs neighbors every day, So I

490
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,640
Speaker 1: don't know. Maybe it's cordial for now. I wonder how

491
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 1: much it would turn though, because the Bills obviously have

492
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:47,400
Speaker 1: not beat the Chiefs. So all these Chiefs fans are like, okay, yeah,

493
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:50,160
Speaker 1: you know, have your fandom whatever. Whatever what happens when

494
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:53,640
Speaker 1: the Bills beat the Chiefs. How much does the relationship

495
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:58,399
Speaker 1: or tolerance of the resident Bills fan in Missouri change.

496
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 1: I think I think it's okay. I think it'd be

497
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 1: all right because the Chiefs fans would think, okay, well,

498
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 1: you know, we're gonna get another shot at you this year.

499
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:11,920
Speaker 1: You know here, we better hope because they'll be two

500
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 1: and three if they lose on Sunday night with three

501
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:18,119
Speaker 1: conference losses. Yeah, they're gonna have a little bit of

502
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 1: ground to make up, no doubt about it. But the

503
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 1: Chiefs could run off, you know, ten straight wins and

504
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:26,639
Speaker 1: get back in the conversation pretty easily. But not not

505
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:30,160
Speaker 1: that it's easy, but you know, um, they've certainly got

506
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,920
Speaker 1: that engine under their hood they could do that. So yeah,

507
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,159
Speaker 1: I think that's what would happen for this season. The

508
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 1: Chiefs fans would start to say, Okay, we need to

509
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 1: know the give us another shot at you. If it

510
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 1: comes to that and they meet in the playoffs and

511
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 1: it would be in Buffalo and the Bills then beat him,

512
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 1: it would be a long offs. It might be a

513
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 1: long off season for that guy. And is and is landscaping.

514
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 1: We should also, yes, I agree with you. We should

515
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 1: also tell you every Friday schedule to make his appearance

516
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 1: in the second hour show NFL Film senior producer Greg

517
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 1: co Sell, who's also co host of the ESPN NFL

518
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 1: Matchup Show on the weekends, and I am confident that

519
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 1: Bill's Chiefs is part of Block one of the NFL

520
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 1: Matchup Show on ESPN this weekend. It's just too big

521
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 1: a matchup to ignore. So we'd be interesting to see

522
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 1: what Greg co Sell and his cohorts like Matt Bowen

523
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 1: and Sal Palantoni have uncovered with respect to this matchup.

524
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 1: And then we also will have some players coming off

525
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 1: the field Jordan Poyer, Dion Dawkins schedule to address the

526
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 1: media today. Will bring those to you in the final

527
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 1: half hour of the program. We have to step aside here,

528
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 1: but when we come back, some comments from Emmanuel Sanders

529
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 1: and Spencer Brown about the big Sunday Night tilt coming

530
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 1: up in just over forty eight hours from now. One

531
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 1: Bill's Live presented by Collid to help This is Buffalo

532
00:29:53,520 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 1: Bill's Radio. Welcome to Ask One Middle five, Chris Brown,

533
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 1: Steve Jasper and here to pass along some comments from

534
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 1: the players this week. Immanuel Sanders addressed the media after

535
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 1: practice this week and he was asked about the magnitude

536
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 1: of the game and not letting it overwhelm them and

537
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 1: become a distraction. Now there's a veteran player addressing this question,

538
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 1: but nevertheless, here is Emmanuel Sanders on that very subject.

539
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 1: One thing that I know about this team is that

540
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 1: we're a great football team. You know, I've I've seen

541
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 1: a lot of teams over my career, and we're a

542
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 1: great football team. And sometimes, you know, when you get

543
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 1: in games like this, you start to hear the narrative

544
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 1: that we're playing against them and we gotta we gotta

545
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 1: be this and do this and do that and do that.

546
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 1: But you know, I'm big on it. We just gotta

547
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 1: be ourselves, play our brand of football and go out

548
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 1: to exeq our play and do what we do when

549
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:04,880
Speaker 1: our matchups. Do your job, and I feel like everything

550
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:07,720
Speaker 1: else to take care of yourself. You know, I'm not

551
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 1: too big on a narrative in terms of, you know,

552
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 1: we gotta go out and do more. Right, We just

553
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 1: got to do what we do, and I feel like

554
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 1: if we do that, and we'll go out and we'll

555
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 1: be able to win this game. A lot of players

556
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:26,239
Speaker 1: have said the same thing this week, Steve. We just

557
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 1: got to focus on what we do, not worry about

558
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 1: who they are. My question to you, though, Steve, is

559
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 1: you know nineteen eighty eight, you guys lose the AFC

560
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 1: title game much like this team dude to the Bengals.

561
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 1: Did you play the Bengals the very next year, because

562
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 1: I'm curious if you did, what was your guys approach

563
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 1: because you had not climbed the mountain to the top

564
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 1: yet in the conference and the Bengals were a team

565
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 1: that quote unquote we're kind of standing in the way

566
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 1: a little bit. Yeah we did. It's a good call

567
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 1: by Yeah, I forgot about that. We did play the

568
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 1: Bengals the next year. I remember the nineteen eighty nine season,

569
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 1: after the Bills went twelve and four to eighty eight.

570
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 1: They went through the eighty nine season and we became

571
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 1: the Bickering Bills. We were kind of a disjointed locker room.

572
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 1: There was a lot of descension, a lot of guys

573
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:18,040
Speaker 1: that were having problems with each other, coaching staffs. Coaching

574
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 1: staff got into a fight kind of thing. I mean,

575
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 1: we're a train wreck right for a minute. But we

576
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:29,520
Speaker 1: during that dark time in that locker room when we

577
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 1: were the team was going through growing pains. Now you

578
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 1: look back on and I guess that's what you would

579
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 1: call it was growing pains. The young great players like

580
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 1: Jim Bruce Andre and others, Darryl and others were wrestling

581
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 1: the leadership away from some of the old guard guys

582
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 1: like Fred Smerlis and Joe Devlin and guys like that.

583
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 1: And it was a hard transition to make. But one

584
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:58,959
Speaker 1: of the things that united that team was a chance

585
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 1: to play the team that ended our season the year before.

586
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:09,080
Speaker 1: As as contentious and as tension filled as that locker

587
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 1: room was during nineteen eighty nine, it united for a

588
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 1: chance to get revenge, and the Cincinnati Bengals show up

589
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 1: and we annihilated him. We crushed him the next year

590
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty nine. I believe that's the one where

591
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 1: Jim through three first quarter intersects on a Monday night game,

592
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 1: Jim through three first quarter interceptions and we beat him

593
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:35,959
Speaker 1: thirty five ten or something like that. Something like that.

594
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 1: I think that was the game. But I know this,

595
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:43,240
Speaker 1: we beat him and beat him soundly. I don't think

596
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:44,840
Speaker 1: that's right. I think that I've got those two games

597
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 1: mixed stuff. I think there was another Sunday afternoon game

598
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 1: in eighty nine, which is the one we had the

599
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 1: revenge in, and we beat him handily. And it was

600
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 1: and that opportunity was one of the few things in

601
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:02,960
Speaker 1: a very difficult season in the locker room and off

602
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:04,880
Speaker 1: the field, that was one of the few things that

603
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:08,279
Speaker 1: united our team and gave us a chance to go

604
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 1: out there and play like a really good football team,

605
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:12,920
Speaker 1: like the talented football team we were. We kind of

606
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 1: overcame the turmoil of what at the growing pains we

607
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:19,879
Speaker 1: were going through and came together and beat a team

608
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 1: that we all hated. Yeah, because of what they did

609
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:23,759
Speaker 1: to us in the championship. I looked it up. You

610
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 1: beat him in week twelve, right around Thanksgiving twenty four

611
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:32,400
Speaker 1: to seven one o'clock game, you guys had two turnovers,

612
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:35,320
Speaker 1: but they had three, and you beat him soundly twenty

613
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:37,919
Speaker 1: four to seven. So the circumstances were different. Your locker

614
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,480
Speaker 1: room was a little bit of a jumble, where this

615
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:43,680
Speaker 1: one's pretty healthy and it sounds, I mean, everybody's saying

616
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 1: the right things going into this game. So I want

617
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 1: to believe they'll be able to put that into practice

618
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 1: Sunday night. Plus, there's a difference to Brownie. I don't

619
00:34:55,200 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 1: think the Bengals in nineteen eighty nine, we're not the

620
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 1: same team they were in nineteen eighty eight. They had

621
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:07,319
Speaker 1: begun to crumble a little bit quickly, all right. They

622
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:09,759
Speaker 1: lost the Super Bowl and they did not bounce back. Well,

623
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 1: so they weren't They weren't the Kansas City Chiefs going

624
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:15,960
Speaker 1: trying to get back to their fourth straight AFC Championship game.

625
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 1: They're more of a flash and then exactly, all right, exactly.

626
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:26,239
Speaker 1: Emmanuel Sanders also addressed facing an aggressive Chiefs defense on

627
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 1: Sunday Hero's thoughts on that, And that's one thing psychologically

628
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:33,240
Speaker 1: I have to get ready for him, and already prepare

629
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:36,920
Speaker 1: for and already kind of envisioned. Um, you know everybody, Oh,

630
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, they get up in your face. They want

631
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 1: to go man and man, and they're gonna tug and

632
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:43,799
Speaker 1: they're gonna grab, and they're gonna be aggressive and they're

633
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 1: gonna they're gonna do it over and over and over

634
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:50,400
Speaker 1: for almost fifties to forties plays, right, And so that

635
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 1: can get hiring as well, and just battling all game,

636
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:56,319
Speaker 1: battling all game. But uh, you know, I'm already psychologically,

637
00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 1: you know, mentally ready for it, you know, And so

638
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:01,800
Speaker 1: uh you know, that's the good thing about watching Tabano,

639
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 1: you opponents, So all right, we're ready for it. I

640
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:08,799
Speaker 1: feel it. So much was made this week Steve about

641
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:15,200
Speaker 1: how the Chiefs defensive players were not called for defensive holding,

642
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:19,400
Speaker 1: past interference, whatever the case might be in the games

643
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 1: against the Bills last season, and then you get to

644
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:29,120
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl and it's almost like the script was

645
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 1: flipped completely. I'm gonna double check right now to make

646
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 1: sure I have it right, But yeah, the Chiefs get

647
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 1: called for eleven penalties for one hundred and twenty yards

648
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:43,080
Speaker 1: against the Bucks. I don't think it was even close

649
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 1: to that number. The week before. I'm gonna pull it

650
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 1: up real quick to make sure I've got this right.

651
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:54,400
Speaker 1: But against the Bills, the Chiefs were flagged for is

652
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:58,359
Speaker 1: that right? Three penalties for thirty three yards and they

653
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 1: played almost the same exactly defensive style. The clutch, the grab,

654
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:05,719
Speaker 1: that pull, the jersey tug a little bit. And so

655
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:11,480
Speaker 1: Emmanuel Sanders has mentally prepared himself for that kind of adversity. Again,

656
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 1: you do that so you don't pop off and lose

657
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:26,439
Speaker 1: your composure, right, I think you muted, Steve? Are you muted? Yeah?

658
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 1: I can't hear you right now. You keep working on

659
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:32,920
Speaker 1: that and yeah. So this is a bone of contention

660
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 1: more by the fan base on the outside than on

661
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:40,760
Speaker 1: the inside, because when you see that and you feel

662
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 1: like it's not called, I'm granted, every Bill's fan watching

663
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:45,799
Speaker 1: a game is going to be biased because you see

664
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 1: a guy tugging on a jersey, no flag, the guy

665
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 1: can't catch the ball because his timing on the route

666
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:54,239
Speaker 1: has been disrupted. You're going to be annoyed. And when

667
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:58,040
Speaker 1: you don't see the crew call it time and time

668
00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:02,440
Speaker 1: and time again, when you believe there's something to be officiated,

669
00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 1: you get upset about it. Now I can't remember. I

670
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:12,400
Speaker 1: believe that the officiating crews have been assigned for the

671
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:15,440
Speaker 1: week's games. I don't know if they've been publicized, so

672
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 1: I'm going to take a look and see. But in

673
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl it was Carl Scheffers, whose staff is

674
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:25,680
Speaker 1: known for calling past interference. They call it more than

675
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 1: any other team and any other crew in the National

676
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:31,680
Speaker 1: Football League. Meanwhile, Bill Vianovich is at the other end

677
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 1: of the spectrum, and he was the guy officiating the

678
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:38,439
Speaker 1: AFC Championship game last year. So it's gonna be hard

679
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:42,040
Speaker 1: to go. It's hard to point at the officials say

680
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:43,480
Speaker 1: they're the reason of the reason. But that game, and

681
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:46,480
Speaker 1: that AFC Championship game got a little chippy. Everybody's seen

682
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:50,400
Speaker 1: the you know, the right cross that the Chief's defensive

683
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:54,399
Speaker 1: lineman gave to John Feliciano didn't get called. You saw

684
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:57,480
Speaker 1: the guy you know knocked Josh Allen off his feet

685
00:38:57,520 --> 00:39:00,560
Speaker 1: two seconds after the whistle was blown, and where Josh

686
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:04,359
Speaker 1: tossed the ball in his head. Melee ensued they got

687
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:07,920
Speaker 1: a little chippy, and that you can put on the

688
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:10,719
Speaker 1: officials because they if they're gonna keep a lid on

689
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:13,319
Speaker 1: the game, stuff like that on either side of the ball,

690
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 1: either team. You got to you gotta start throwing flags quick.

691
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 1: There's a couple, there's a bunch of those. You know

692
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:24,080
Speaker 1: the guy that through, you know, the suplexed Stefan diggs

693
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:27,200
Speaker 1: um after he caught a ball, all of that stuff

694
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:29,279
Speaker 1: going on. If you're gonna keep a lid on the game,

695
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:32,520
Speaker 1: you gotta do it fast, you gotta do it early. Certainly,

696
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:35,680
Speaker 1: officials buy and large and I know this. There are

697
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:37,880
Speaker 1: certain teams around the league that kind of go with

698
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 1: this philosophy, and a lot of teams, maybe all of them,

699
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 1: think about it. The officials don't want to make a

700
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 1: difference in that they want to call the game and

701
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:47,759
Speaker 1: don't let it get it out of let it let

702
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 1: it get out of hand. But they don't want to

703
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:52,880
Speaker 1: make a call that decides a game or decides points

704
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 1: or has an effect on a stretch of the game.

705
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:57,360
Speaker 1: They don't want to do it. They just don't have

706
00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:00,839
Speaker 1: the courage to do it. And you'll see teams, particularly

707
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:03,680
Speaker 1: in situational football, where you got a goal line stand

708
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 1: or a short yardage stand or red zone play that's crucial.

709
00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 1: The defense that's on the field will just say screwed.

710
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:13,839
Speaker 1: If you want, you're not going to score, gon, We're

711
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:16,440
Speaker 1: gonna commit penalties to keep you out of the end

712
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 1: zone and force them to call it every single play,

713
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:21,000
Speaker 1: and sooner or later they're not going to call it.

714
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:24,239
Speaker 1: The officials get tired of doing it. Yeah, they don't

715
00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:26,239
Speaker 1: care if you call a penalty every play, They're still

716
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:28,600
Speaker 1: not going to score. So I didn't. Sooner or later,

717
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 1: the officials get tired of throwing the flag and the

718
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:33,720
Speaker 1: defense wins, So I did check it. The good news

719
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 1: is this the crew that officiated the Super Bowl in

720
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:39,640
Speaker 1: which they call the eleven penalties on the Chiefs. They

721
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:45,480
Speaker 1: are officiating Bill's Chiefs Sunday night. Carl Cheffer's crew is

722
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:50,160
Speaker 1: doing the game. They historically are usually near the top

723
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:54,279
Speaker 1: of the league's officiating crews for calling pass interference and

724
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:58,920
Speaker 1: defensive penalties. Hopefully that continues to hold true. We have

725
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 1: to take a break here, but when we come back,

726
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 1: it's time for tailgate Friday. What's the best thing you

00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:08,560

Speaker 1: shoot off for every Bill's score, just in case some

746

Speaker 1: his fireworks show, Steve, that we have for our MSG viewers.

00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:53,560
Speaker 1: pretty good. Yeah, I mean this is like your neighborhood,

Speaker 1: you know, your towns or villages fireworks show on the

757
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:02,719
Speaker 1: a Bill's touchdown or a field goal every time. This

758
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:05,879
Speaker 1: is unbelievable. If I'm a if I'm a Chiefs fan,

759
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:09,040
Speaker 1: don't you call the fire department on the guy? Oh?

760

Speaker 1: Come on, really, you're gonna do that? Yeah, depends if

761
00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:18,720

780
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:24,560
Speaker 1: at the pool and all that. I was My question was,

781
00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:26,200
Speaker 1: I wonder what kind of beer is four year old

782
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:28,120
Speaker 1: drinks there at the bar and they're out there watching

783
00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:30,960
Speaker 1: the first half. Yeah he missed picture the kid belly

784
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:33,520
Speaker 1: and up going a couple of Shirley Temples for the

785
00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:40,239
Speaker 1: four year old here play. Yeah, you know, totally four

786
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:42,000
Speaker 1: years is four years old A little bit too young

787
00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:48,759
Speaker 1: go to Disney. Uh yeah, I mean you definitely right.

788
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:51,640
Speaker 1: You definitely don't take a four year old anywhere from

789
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:57,239
Speaker 1: May to September because the weather is so oppressive, a

790
00:44:57,320 --> 00:44:59,880
Speaker 1: four year old will melt and when a four year

791
00:44:59,880 --> 00:45:01,759
Speaker 1: old melts in the heat, the next thing they do

792
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:05,440
Speaker 1: is melt down. I would say the wheelhouse is probably

793
00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:10,080
Speaker 1: somewhere between seven and ten. That's probably ideal. We took

794
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:13,000
Speaker 1: our kids, Yeah, you gotta have they gotta be old

795
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:15,239
Speaker 1: enough to have some survival skills, right. We took our

796
00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:18,160
Speaker 1: kids when they were eight and ten and they were troopers. Um.

797
00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:21,440
Speaker 1: We happened to be down there and took him for

798
00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:23,440
Speaker 1: I don't know, three or four days when they were

799
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:26,359
Speaker 1: like four and six. And I'm telling you right now,

800
00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:29,560
Speaker 1: I wore my son as a as a shoulder as

801
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:33,480
Speaker 1: a shoulder harness for pretty much more than half of

802
00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:35,440
Speaker 1: the ground we covered. I mean he was just on

803
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:37,399
Speaker 1: my should because he couldn't do the he couldn't cover

804
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:40,480
Speaker 1: the ground. Yeah, and he didn't like the strollers that

805
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:42,319
Speaker 1: they have there for you, So yeah, it didn't work.

806
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:45,239
Speaker 1: Eight and ten is like somewhere between eight and ten

807
00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:47,000
Speaker 1: is the best because they can they can cover a

808
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:48,880
Speaker 1: lot of the ground. They don't wear out as quickly.

809
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:52,759
Speaker 1: That's the wheelhouse there, uh, Sean says. Going to the

810
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:56,160
Speaker 1: game there's going to be a huge contingent of Bill's

811
00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:59,799
Speaker 1: mafia in the Red Lot. So you've you've been given

812
00:45:59,840 --> 00:46:03,080
Speaker 1: no otis. Red Lot is the place to go for

813
00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:07,560
Speaker 1: pregame if you want to be amongst friends, shall we say,

814
00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:11,560
Speaker 1: as Steve says in The Unholy Land, Yeah, I'll say

815
00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:13,680

00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:15,640
Speaker 1: you know, at the other end of the state. But

817
00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:17,840
Speaker 1: you know, I've been to Kansas City, I teen times

Speaker 1: League Baseball. It's one of the most it's one of

822
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:36,319
Speaker 1: the most attractive venues in all of pro sports. With

823
00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:41,160
Speaker 1: the Major League Baseball and the NFL stadiums right next

824

Speaker 1: door to each other. The lots, they they share lots.

825
00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:47,879
Speaker 1: There's plenty of space out there. It's laid out really well.

826
00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 1: It's not like hilly, not that hilly and stuff. There's

827
00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:53,920
Speaker 1: a little hilly, but not bad at all. Plenty of

828
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:56,000
Speaker 1: space to spread out. It's a great v and you

829
00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:58,279
Speaker 1: got to tip your hat to Kansas City for having

830
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:01,280
Speaker 1: a facility like they do. It's a it's an awesome

831

837
00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:19,920
Speaker 1: its own thing going on. There are some places where

838
00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:21,520
Speaker 1: you want to go to to watch games because of

839
00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:24,279
Speaker 1: the city in the region. But for football fans to

00:47:24,280 --> 00:47:26,560
Speaker 1: see a facility and how they and a great team

841
00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:29,879
Speaker 1: and all that, Kansas City's awesome and I applaud people

842
00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:31,479
Speaker 1: get a chance to go out there and watch the game.

843
00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:35,680
Speaker 1: Jack says, cleaning house for company and watching the one

844
00:47:35,719 --> 00:47:38,080
Speaker 1: pm game. Then I'll sneak off to a bar and

845
00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:41,680
Speaker 1: watch La Cleveland at four, which is not on locally.

846
00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:46,799
Speaker 1: For our game. I'm making hot halapeno bean dip, habanaro

847
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:51,759
Speaker 1: peach salsa and guacamoley. Wow. I am all over that.

848
00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:55,120
Speaker 1: Um I make a pretty good guak. I gotta say, Steve,

849
00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:58,040
Speaker 1: I gotta have you try that sometime. I think you'd

850
00:47:58,080 --> 00:48:04,879
Speaker 1: like it. But habbanaro peacht Yeah, hbernaro pizza. Also, that's

851
00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:06,600
Speaker 1: that's a unique one. I have not heard of that.

852
00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:10,480
Speaker 1: That's gotta be like hot, hot and sweet all at

853
00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:12,680
Speaker 1: the same time. That's got to be very interesting. He says.

854
00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:15,920
Speaker 1: He's also ordering a few pies, double cheese with bacon,

855
00:48:16,040 --> 00:48:19,080
Speaker 1: maybe a white pizza with pepperoni. So Jack's gonna be

856
00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:22,759
Speaker 1: low there. That's good, I mean, and I guess, uh,

857
00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:28,399
Speaker 1: I guess Jack is a local guy from Buffalo, so um, yeah,

858
00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:32,000
Speaker 1: that'll there's it's gonna be. It's it's these these night games,

859
00:48:32,040 --> 00:48:33,840
Speaker 1: particularly Sunday, if you're not going to a game, if

860
00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:36,960
Speaker 1: there's a it's away game, a night game. I think

861
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:39,840
Speaker 1: it's it's almost the perfect scenario for the home crowd

862
00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:42,359
Speaker 1: because they can stay at home. They got all day

863
00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:44,480
Speaker 1: to gear up for watch these other you know, the

864
00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:49,719
Speaker 1: preliminary games you call them, quote unquote to keep right.

865
00:48:49,840 --> 00:48:52,400
Speaker 1: As soon as the game's over, you know, you go

866
00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:54,440
Speaker 1: to bed and and hit it, you know, and get

867
00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:57,560
Speaker 1: some sleep for for Monday. That's kind of the perfect scenario.

868
00:48:57,760 --> 00:49:00,399
Speaker 1: The only better scenario is the four thirty game. Well,

869
00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:04,279
Speaker 1: it's a very good scenario for students and for those

870
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:07,480
Speaker 1: people in the workforce that have off for Columbus Day.

871
00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:09,560
Speaker 1: There are a lot of people that have off Monday.

872
00:49:09,719 --> 00:49:11,360
Speaker 1: I mean we don't, but there are a lot of

873
00:49:11,400 --> 00:49:15,640
Speaker 1: people that serendipitous. Yeah, yeah, that's huge. Last one here

874
00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:19,120
Speaker 1: on Tailgate Friday from Tom going shopping after the show. Well,

875
00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:22,560
Speaker 1: thanks for waiting, neat ideas, But the grill is available, bet.

876
00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:25,640
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker has King krab legs on the menu because

877
00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:28,200
Speaker 1: he knows you're up in Alaska right now. Our King

878
00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:30,600
Speaker 1: krablegs easy to come buy up there. They probably don't

879
00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:34,320
Speaker 1: cost as much per pound. No, it's the thing is

880
00:49:34,360 --> 00:49:37,680
Speaker 1: prevalent up here is salmon. Well yeah, I mean, and

881
00:49:37,840 --> 00:49:40,320
Speaker 1: they are. The salmon's like at getting apples here in

882
00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:45,840
Speaker 1: New York. Right. The salmon here is the color of

883
00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:48,880
Speaker 1: a red corvette. I mean it's not it's not salmon colored.

884
00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:52,680
Speaker 1: It's blood red. I mean, it's so rich, it's unbelievable

885
00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:55,160
Speaker 1: up here. And you know, the people from here, the

886
00:49:55,239 --> 00:49:57,239
Speaker 1: people I know from here in Alaska that go down

887
00:49:57,280 --> 00:50:00,560
Speaker 1: to and visit us in the lower forty eight, they

888
00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:03,360
Speaker 1: won't touch the salmon down I believe it. I believe

889
00:50:03,360 --> 00:50:05,399
Speaker 1: they won't even touch it. But I will tell Tom

890
00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:08,440
Speaker 1: King Krab legs are very easy to make on the grill.

891
00:50:08,520 --> 00:50:10,880
Speaker 1: All you gotta do is get a baking sheet and

892
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:14,160
Speaker 1: then you put you line the baking sheet with foil.

893
00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:16,960
Speaker 1: You put the king Krab legs in there. You can

894
00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:19,359
Speaker 1: it's your choice. You can drizzle olive oil on them,

895
00:50:19,960 --> 00:50:23,440
Speaker 1: or garlic butter or something whatever you have. Drizzle him

896
00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:26,360
Speaker 1: on there, seal up the bag and then just steam

897
00:50:26,440 --> 00:50:30,960
Speaker 1: him on the grill for like fifteen minutes tops and

898
00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:34,479
Speaker 1: you'll be very happy with that. So, yeah, they're not cheap,

899
00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:37,440
Speaker 1: but if you want them, they're dang good. When you

900
00:50:37,560 --> 00:50:39,400
Speaker 1: pull that whole thing out of the leg all in

901
00:50:39,480 --> 00:50:42,719

00:51:34,840 --> 00:51:37,360
Speaker 1: are going to be joined by the senior producer of

913
00:51:37,480 --> 00:51:41,000
Speaker 1: NFL Films, one Greg Cosell, who is also the co

914
00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:43,960
Speaker 1: host on ESPN's NFL Matchup Show. And I'm willing to

915
00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:47,680
Speaker 1: bet that Bill's Chiefs will be in Block one of

916
00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:53,120
Speaker 1: that show, Am I right? Greg? Block four? So close segment,

917
00:51:53,640 --> 00:51:57,439
Speaker 1: A full segment, Okay, a full segment, actually Block one,

918
00:51:57,880 --> 00:52:01,160
Speaker 1: believe it or not. We're doing Cincinnati and Green Bay,

919
00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:04,680
Speaker 1: which is a very fascinating game as well. Yeah, Burrow

920
00:52:04,719 --> 00:52:07,440
Speaker 1: is breaking out. Now. Forgive us for not wanting to

921
00:52:07,480 --> 00:52:10,640
Speaker 1: hear about Cincinnati Green Bay. That's okay. I wasn't really

922
00:52:10,640 --> 00:52:12,440
Speaker 1: going to talk about it. I was just mentioning in

923
00:52:12,600 --> 00:52:16,279
Speaker 1: response to Chris. Ye, but yes, the grand finale is

924
00:52:16,840 --> 00:52:21,279
Speaker 1: Buffalo and Kansas City, all right, So what give us

925
00:52:21,320 --> 00:52:24,359
Speaker 1: your over the overarching thoughts about this? I mean, we've

926
00:52:24,400 --> 00:52:26,840
Speaker 1: been talking a lot about, you know, the injuries that

927
00:52:26,920 --> 00:52:28,719
Speaker 1: are coming in the Chiefs looked like they may be

928
00:52:28,800 --> 00:52:32,840
Speaker 1: as healthy as they've been all year to this point. Anyway,

929
00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:36,000
Speaker 1: the Bills, not so much. Matt Milano is an important part.

930
00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:38,120
Speaker 1: He had some interesting things before the break about Matt

931
00:52:38,160 --> 00:52:40,919
Speaker 1: Milana what you think he means to this defense? Yeah,

932
00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:43,800
Speaker 1: I personally believe, you know, just based on studying the

933
00:52:43,880 --> 00:52:47,320
Speaker 1: Bills now for years, that he is the most important

934
00:52:47,360 --> 00:52:49,919
Speaker 1: player on that defense, and I think if he's out

935
00:52:50,280 --> 00:52:52,800
Speaker 1: that would be a really big loss. Now, I'm not

936
00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:54,719
Speaker 1: going to sit here and say we've all seen enough

937
00:52:54,840 --> 00:52:57,359
Speaker 1: NFL games to know that that doesn't mean they can't

938
00:52:57,400 --> 00:52:59,880
Speaker 1: win the game. But I think he's a really important

939
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:02,800
Speaker 1: He's to their defense, the key player, and particularly in

940
00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:05,640
Speaker 1: a game where you have a Travis Kelsey, because Milano

941
00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:08,280
Speaker 1: can match up to tight ends with his athletic ability

942
00:53:08,320 --> 00:53:11,560
Speaker 1: and movement skills, So if he can't go, they're really

943
00:53:11,640 --> 00:53:14,200
Speaker 1: fortunate have a j Klein who's a veteran and can

944
00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:17,840
Speaker 1: step in and play his skill set, though his overall

945
00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:20,440
Speaker 1: skill set profile is just not the same as Milano's.

946
00:53:20,560 --> 00:53:25,239
Speaker 1: So how much do you believe Buffalo's defensive game plan

947
00:53:25,440 --> 00:53:30,480
Speaker 1: has to morph and change knowing Kline has much different

948
00:53:30,520 --> 00:53:36,440
Speaker 1: strengths than Matt Milano does. Well, I'd be real curious

949
00:53:36,520 --> 00:53:39,120
Speaker 1: to see how much man coverage that they would play

950
00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:42,520
Speaker 1: because this defense has morphed into a defense and evolved

951
00:53:42,600 --> 00:53:45,279
Speaker 1: over the last year or so to play more man.

952
00:53:45,760 --> 00:53:47,799
Speaker 1: You know, people think of Sean and Leslie and they

953
00:53:47,840 --> 00:53:50,440
Speaker 1: think zone. That's the way it was early on, but

954
00:53:50,560 --> 00:53:53,040
Speaker 1: they play more man. They've been more aggressive with pressure.

955
00:53:54,600 --> 00:53:58,400
Speaker 1: They would have to me anyway, some potential matchup concerns

956
00:53:58,520 --> 00:54:00,759
Speaker 1: if they were to play man. Now, as you guys

957
00:54:00,840 --> 00:54:04,000
Speaker 1: both know, you can pressure and play zone. There's zone pressures,

958
00:54:04,040 --> 00:54:06,920
Speaker 1: there's man pressures. You can sell pressure if you choose to.

959
00:54:07,360 --> 00:54:09,560
Speaker 1: I just think you have to think it through. And

960
00:54:09,680 --> 00:54:11,200
Speaker 1: they're a lot smarter than I am, but you have

961
00:54:11,280 --> 00:54:14,320
Speaker 1: to think it through and decide how much man coverage

962
00:54:14,360 --> 00:54:17,360
Speaker 1: you choose to play, because you might not feel comfortable

963
00:54:17,360 --> 00:54:20,960
Speaker 1: about your matchups. Well, a lot's been made about Mahomes

964
00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:24,040
Speaker 1: being so good and this year, maybe unlike other years,

965
00:54:24,080 --> 00:54:26,040
Speaker 1: he's getting the ball out a little faster twenty of

966
00:54:26,160 --> 00:54:29,200
Speaker 1: twenty three when he throws it under two point five seconds.

967
00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:32,040
Speaker 1: And we all saw what happened in the Super Bowl

968
00:54:32,120 --> 00:54:35,759
Speaker 1: when the Bucks could get quick pressure with just four right,

969
00:54:35,800 --> 00:54:39,960
Speaker 1: and that was the difference. It sounds simple, but it's

970
00:54:40,360 --> 00:54:44,279
Speaker 1: not easy, right, Well, of course. I mean and Steve

971
00:54:44,360 --> 00:54:46,359
Speaker 1: as you well know, you could say that about any

972
00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:48,840
Speaker 1: quarterback if you get the kind of quick pressure that

973
00:54:48,960 --> 00:54:51,000
Speaker 1: the Bucks got on a number of occasions in the

974
00:54:51,040 --> 00:54:54,239
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. I think Mahomes. It's funny you say that

975
00:54:54,280 --> 00:54:57,160
Speaker 1: about Mahomes. Mahomes is great, and I always feel like

976
00:54:57,160 --> 00:54:59,680
Speaker 1: I have to qualify it because you know, on social media,

977
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:02,319
Speaker 1: all people here very often is what they want to hear.

978
00:55:02,640 --> 00:55:06,399
Speaker 1: I think Mahomes until the Eagles game this past week,

979
00:55:06,520 --> 00:55:10,480
Speaker 1: and the Eagles played basically to take anything down the

980
00:55:10,600 --> 00:55:14,480
Speaker 1: field away. They played soft zone coverage, and Mahomes was

981
00:55:14,640 --> 00:55:17,279
Speaker 1: very patient, got rid of the ball, took what the

982
00:55:17,360 --> 00:55:19,800
Speaker 1: defense gave him. I think in the two games prior

983
00:55:19,880 --> 00:55:22,200
Speaker 1: to that, to be honest with you, I thought that

984
00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:24,880
Speaker 1: he was moving around too much. I thought he was

985
00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:27,520
Speaker 1: leaving a pocket prematurely. I thought he was playing a

986
00:55:27,560 --> 00:55:30,440
Speaker 1: little randomly. Is he capable of making big plays when

987
00:55:30,480 --> 00:55:33,719
Speaker 1: he does that? Absolutely, But it would not have surprised

988
00:55:33,760 --> 00:55:37,239
Speaker 1: me at all if Andy Reid, who's so good coaching quarterbacks,

989
00:55:37,520 --> 00:55:39,160
Speaker 1: said hey, you know, I think we just need to

990
00:55:39,200 --> 00:55:41,360
Speaker 1: settle down and play within the structure of the offense

991
00:55:41,440 --> 00:55:43,879
Speaker 1: just a little bit more and he did that this week,

992
00:55:43,960 --> 00:55:46,600
Speaker 1: but the defense almost forced him to do that, because

993
00:55:46,640 --> 00:55:49,319
Speaker 1: that was a defense that didn't give you anything down

994
00:55:49,360 --> 00:55:53,239
Speaker 1: the field third down. Last year, the Bills led the

995
00:55:53,320 --> 00:55:56,080
Speaker 1: league in third down conversions at about fifty percent. Just

996
00:55:56,200 --> 00:55:59,680
Speaker 1: to shade under it, they're trending at that percentage right

997
00:55:59,800 --> 00:56:02,680
Speaker 1: now now, good for a tie for third in the league.

998
00:56:03,200 --> 00:56:07,520
Speaker 1: The Chiefs are insane on third down. Greg. I know

999
00:56:07,600 --> 00:56:09,840
Speaker 1: I'm not telling you anything you don't know, but sixty

1000
00:56:09,920 --> 00:56:13,000
Speaker 1: four percent overall is a fat number. But I dug

1001
00:56:13,040 --> 00:56:17,640
Speaker 1: a little deeper, Greg, third and seven or less ninety

1002
00:56:17,760 --> 00:56:24,080
Speaker 1: six percent conversion, they're twenty four of twenty five. That's insane. Yeah,

1003
00:56:24,400 --> 00:56:28,800
Speaker 1: that's pretty good. Yeah. I mean there's no question that

1004
00:56:28,880 --> 00:56:34,360
Speaker 1: they're a very difficult team to defend. So the question becomes,

1005
00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:38,439
Speaker 1: how do you do that? Yeah, And look, I don't

1006
00:56:38,480 --> 00:56:42,640
Speaker 1: have all those answers clearly, but you know, I think

1007
00:56:42,680 --> 00:56:45,200
Speaker 1: there's certain things you have to defend when you play

1008
00:56:45,280 --> 00:56:47,400
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, and and that's all I can say is

1009
00:56:47,440 --> 00:56:50,360
Speaker 1: what they present to you and what you have to defend.

1010
00:56:50,840 --> 00:56:52,960
Speaker 1: Forgive me, if I'm not quite smart enough to tell

1011
00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:54,640
Speaker 1: you exactly how to do it. If I was, I

1012
00:56:54,640 --> 00:56:57,640
Speaker 1: wouldn't be sitting here with you guys right now. But

1013
00:56:57,840 --> 00:56:59,759
Speaker 1: I think you have to defend their one by three

1014
00:57:00,239 --> 00:57:02,719
Speaker 1: where Travis Kelsey is the single receiver to the short

1015
00:57:02,760 --> 00:57:05,400
Speaker 1: side of the field and they have three wide receivers

1016
00:57:05,440 --> 00:57:08,480
Speaker 1: to the wide side. You know, it's it's one by

1017
00:57:08,560 --> 00:57:12,680
Speaker 1: three is what we call it. And in that trip side,

1018
00:57:12,800 --> 00:57:16,040
Speaker 1: they very often put Hill as the number three, the

1019
00:57:16,440 --> 00:57:20,959
Speaker 1: receiver closest to the formation. That's a very difficult look

1020
00:57:21,040 --> 00:57:23,959
Speaker 1: to defend, and you have to have in your mind

1021
00:57:24,040 --> 00:57:26,400
Speaker 1: a way that you feel that you can handle that.

1022
00:57:27,120 --> 00:57:30,680
Speaker 1: And the other the thing they do really well is

1023
00:57:30,760 --> 00:57:34,360
Speaker 1: they stretch you vertically with speed, and at the same

1024
00:57:34,440 --> 00:57:37,600
Speaker 1: time they do that, they expand you horizontally, So it's

1025
00:57:37,840 --> 00:57:40,760
Speaker 1: they create a lot of voids in zone coverage. And

1026
00:57:41,240 --> 00:57:43,920
Speaker 1: as great as Mahomes is, when I watch their tape,

1027
00:57:44,240 --> 00:57:46,840
Speaker 1: sometimes it seems like he's throwing to receivers that are

1028
00:57:46,920 --> 00:57:48,680
Speaker 1: so wide open that you know, we could all make

1029
00:57:48,720 --> 00:57:51,920
Speaker 1: those throws. But that's a function, not a bad defense.

1030
00:57:52,120 --> 00:57:55,120
Speaker 1: It's a function of what they do schematically with their

1031
00:57:55,200 --> 00:57:58,479
Speaker 1: route concepts and the personnel that are running the route

1032
00:57:58,520 --> 00:58:02,760
Speaker 1: concept So they're very, very difficult to defend. One of

1033
00:58:02,800 --> 00:58:06,040
Speaker 1: the things that has changed quite a bit since last

1034
00:58:06,120 --> 00:58:07,960
Speaker 1: year for the Chiefs is their offensive line. They got

1035
00:58:07,960 --> 00:58:10,240
Speaker 1: a bunch of new guys up front. How are they playing?

1036
00:58:10,800 --> 00:58:12,600
Speaker 1: You know, it's really funny you say that, And I've

1037
00:58:12,600 --> 00:58:14,400
Speaker 1: talked with some other people who know more about old

1038
00:58:14,440 --> 00:58:16,720
Speaker 1: line play than I do. I actually think the old

1039
00:58:16,760 --> 00:58:19,760
Speaker 1: line they put out there guys is more built as

1040
00:58:19,800 --> 00:58:23,640
Speaker 1: a run old line. I think they're big guys. They're movers,

1041
00:58:23,920 --> 00:58:27,080
Speaker 1: you know, their road graders. I mean, obviously Mahomes is

1042
00:58:27,120 --> 00:58:29,840
Speaker 1: so good that he can compensate for and camouflage some

1043
00:58:29,960 --> 00:58:32,840
Speaker 1: issues and pass protection on any given play. But I

1044
00:58:32,920 --> 00:58:35,760
Speaker 1: think this is really a road grading offensive line, and

1045
00:58:35,880 --> 00:58:37,800
Speaker 1: I think they've done a really good job the last

1046
00:58:37,840 --> 00:58:41,080
Speaker 1: two weeks. Clearly their offense does not run through Clyde

1047
00:58:41,160 --> 00:58:44,640
Speaker 1: Edwards Eilaire, and I thought they found a specific thing,

1048
00:58:45,200 --> 00:58:48,600
Speaker 1: specific tactic against the Eagles that allowed Edwards Eilaire to

1049
00:58:48,720 --> 00:58:50,960
Speaker 1: have some ten plush yard runs, which won't be the

1050
00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:53,640
Speaker 1: case against the Bills. Won't be exactly the same. But

1051
00:58:53,760 --> 00:58:56,680
Speaker 1: I'm curious to see how much they attempt to run

1052
00:58:56,760 --> 00:58:59,720
Speaker 1: the ball, because he's looked really good Edwards Eilaire the

1053
00:58:59,800 --> 00:59:02,240
Speaker 1: last two weeks and their old line has looked very

1054
00:59:02,400 --> 00:59:05,439
Speaker 1: good as as a run blocking unit the last two weeks.

1055
00:59:05,720 --> 00:59:09,320
Speaker 1: Flipping it over to the Chiefs defense, Greg, it looks

1056
00:59:09,360 --> 00:59:11,440
Speaker 1: like Willie Gay will be back in the lineup. He's

1057
00:59:11,640 --> 00:59:17,160
Speaker 1: clearly their most athletic linebacker. First, how have they historically

1058
00:59:17,320 --> 00:59:19,920
Speaker 1: used him in coverage? Just from the times you've watched

1059
00:59:19,920 --> 00:59:22,600
Speaker 1: their film over the last year plus, knowing he hasn't

1060
00:59:22,640 --> 00:59:25,280
Speaker 1: been a part of their lineup since the beginning of

1061
00:59:25,360 --> 00:59:30,280
Speaker 1: the season. And Second, Chris Jones at defensive end. I

1062
00:59:30,400 --> 00:59:32,400
Speaker 1: know he reduces down inside when they get into some

1063
00:59:32,520 --> 00:59:36,600
Speaker 1: obvious passing situations, but do you anticipate that to continue

1064
00:59:37,160 --> 00:59:40,800
Speaker 1: with Frank Clark expected to return to the lineup this week. Yeah,

1065
00:59:40,880 --> 00:59:43,520
Speaker 1: that's a great question. Chris and I personally think that

1066
00:59:43,680 --> 00:59:47,800
Speaker 1: Jones is a much better pass rusher inside, and I

1067
00:59:47,920 --> 00:59:50,840
Speaker 1: think because of the changes that on the old line,

1068
00:59:50,880 --> 00:59:53,440
Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see. I assume that that's going

1069
00:59:53,520 --> 00:59:55,120
Speaker 1: to be the same deal this week with the old

1070
00:59:55,120 --> 00:59:57,720
Speaker 1: line with Williams at right guard, Brown at right tackle. Yeah,

1071
00:59:57,720 --> 01:00:01,920
Speaker 1: that's that's the anticipated lineup. Yeah, And is it Bodger

1072
01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:04,800
Speaker 1: or Vodker? I should know this, it's Butcher, but Feliciano

1073
01:00:05,000 --> 01:00:07,600
Speaker 1: is back from concussion. He's expected to start at left Oh,

1074
01:00:07,640 --> 01:00:09,320
Speaker 1: he's expected to play, so he'll be but he'll be

1075
01:00:09,360 --> 01:00:13,919
Speaker 1: a left guard. That's the anticipation. Okay, Well, my sense is, look,

1076
01:00:14,600 --> 01:00:18,360
Speaker 1: I think Jones will get snaps at the end, and

1077
01:00:18,520 --> 01:00:20,840
Speaker 1: quite frankly, I think they'll give him some snaps against

1078
01:00:20,840 --> 01:00:25,000
Speaker 1: Spencer Brown. And I'm just speaking to the tape, but

1079
01:00:25,080 --> 01:00:28,400
Speaker 1: I think that Dean Dawkins has had some struggles in

1080
01:00:28,480 --> 01:00:30,880
Speaker 1: one on one pass protection, and I think their old

1081
01:00:30,960 --> 01:00:34,640
Speaker 1: line is a little bit of a potential concern in

1082
01:00:34,800 --> 01:00:37,360
Speaker 1: any given game, depending on the nature of the opponent.

1083
01:00:37,640 --> 01:00:42,040
Speaker 1: And if Clark is back, he's a really dynamic pass rusher.

1084
01:00:42,200 --> 01:00:44,520
Speaker 1: And we know what Chris Jones can be inside where

1085
01:00:44,560 --> 01:00:47,520
Speaker 1: I believe he's better. So that to me is an

1086
01:00:47,640 --> 01:00:50,440
Speaker 1: interesting part of the game because they're going to need

1087
01:00:50,520 --> 01:00:52,960
Speaker 1: to protect. I mean, we know what Josh can do

1088
01:00:53,160 --> 01:00:55,360
Speaker 1: outside of the pocket. He does it every week. He

1089
01:00:55,440 --> 01:00:59,080
Speaker 1: made an unbelievable throw this past week running to his

1090
01:00:59,200 --> 01:01:02,120
Speaker 1: right to digs, and he can do that, but you

1091
01:01:02,200 --> 01:01:04,960
Speaker 1: can't live your life playing that way. There's going to

1092
01:01:05,080 --> 01:01:08,920
Speaker 1: have to be continuity and structure to their offense, and

1093
01:01:09,040 --> 01:01:10,800
Speaker 1: one of the things I think Brian Dable is really

1094
01:01:10,880 --> 01:01:13,280
Speaker 1: good at is I think they have route concepts that

1095
01:01:13,440 --> 01:01:16,400
Speaker 1: give you answers versus both man and zone, and I

1096
01:01:16,520 --> 01:01:18,840
Speaker 1: think that's those are the kinds of route concepts you're

1097
01:01:18,840 --> 01:01:20,800
Speaker 1: going to need to see in this matchup. And then

1098
01:01:20,840 --> 01:01:24,240
Speaker 1: about Willie Gay greg really quick, Yeah, he hasn't played

1099
01:01:24,280 --> 01:01:27,480
Speaker 1: a lot in their nickel because he did not do

1100
01:01:27,640 --> 01:01:29,840
Speaker 1: that last year when he was a rookie. So I

1101
01:01:29,880 --> 01:01:31,600
Speaker 1: don't really have a great answer for that. I mean,

1102
01:01:31,640 --> 01:01:34,440
Speaker 1: they've been playing Bolton the rookie this year. To my

1103
01:01:34,600 --> 01:01:36,240
Speaker 1: way of thinking, he's not a guy you want to

1104
01:01:36,240 --> 01:01:38,560
Speaker 1: play in your nickel, but they had to do that.

1105
01:01:39,040 --> 01:01:40,960
Speaker 1: Gay is as you said, Chris, and you're right, he's

1106
01:01:40,960 --> 01:01:43,640
Speaker 1: a great, great athlete. I remember him testing off the

1107
01:01:43,760 --> 01:01:47,240
Speaker 1: charts at the Combine. He can run, so you assume

1108
01:01:47,320 --> 01:01:49,840
Speaker 1: that he can play past defense well, but he hasn't

1109
01:01:49,880 --> 01:01:53,240
Speaker 1: done much of it. Yeah, it give me any ideas.

1110
01:01:53,680 --> 01:01:56,440
Speaker 1: I know that people have downplayed the success of the

1111
01:01:56,480 --> 01:01:59,760
Speaker 1: Bill's offense because they've been playing some poor defenses and

1112
01:02:00,400 --> 01:02:02,560
Speaker 1: their defense has been playing some poor offenses as well.

1113
01:02:02,720 --> 01:02:05,040
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts about why the Chiefs are ranked

1114
01:02:05,120 --> 01:02:07,680
Speaker 1: thirty first overall in defense? Is it all the injuries

1115
01:02:07,800 --> 01:02:12,840
Speaker 1: guys out? What has led to that ranking? In your opinion? Yeah,

1116
01:02:12,920 --> 01:02:14,560
Speaker 1: you know, it's funny, Steve. I've been asked that this

1117
01:02:14,680 --> 01:02:16,320
Speaker 1: week by a lot of people, and I wish I

1118
01:02:16,400 --> 01:02:19,080
Speaker 1: had a brilliant answer. They are playing a lot of

1119
01:02:19,160 --> 01:02:22,880
Speaker 1: the same concepts, coverages, rush concepts that they did a

1120
01:02:23,000 --> 01:02:25,640
Speaker 1: year ago when they were much better, and they've just

1121
01:02:25,840 --> 01:02:30,000
Speaker 1: not been as effective now. You know, I can't speak

1122
01:02:30,040 --> 01:02:32,440
Speaker 1: to why other than you know. You know it is

1123
01:02:32,440 --> 01:02:33,960
Speaker 1: when you watch tape and you see a team get

1124
01:02:34,040 --> 01:02:37,320
Speaker 1: beat in his own coverage and there's a void that's

1125
01:02:37,360 --> 01:02:40,000
Speaker 1: wide open. You know they know that the voyage there too,

1126
01:02:40,440 --> 01:02:43,400
Speaker 1: but they're they're struggling to deal with it. One thing

1127
01:02:43,480 --> 01:02:46,160
Speaker 1: they do a lot of and look, Tyranne, Matthew missed

1128
01:02:47,000 --> 01:02:49,120
Speaker 1: a good amount of time leading up to the season,

1129
01:02:49,200 --> 01:02:51,600
Speaker 1: and he missed Week one, and I think he's their

1130
01:02:51,680 --> 01:02:55,480
Speaker 1: most important defensive player. And I think with his instincts,

1131
01:02:55,560 --> 01:02:58,920
Speaker 1: with his ability to play multiple positions, he's their middle

1132
01:02:58,960 --> 01:03:01,800
Speaker 1: hold defender and over two and they get to cover

1133
01:03:01,920 --> 01:03:06,560
Speaker 1: two through disguise and late movement. It's possible that Matthew

1134
01:03:06,640 --> 01:03:09,040
Speaker 1: being out for a good ten days before the season

1135
01:03:09,120 --> 01:03:12,360
Speaker 1: opener and then not playing in the season opener has

1136
01:03:12,440 --> 01:03:14,880
Speaker 1: impacted that. But they're doing a lot of the same

1137
01:03:15,040 --> 01:03:19,480
Speaker 1: things tactically, they're just not doing them well. I wanted

1138
01:03:19,520 --> 01:03:22,520
Speaker 1: to ask you a little bit, Greg about what worked

1139
01:03:22,600 --> 01:03:24,840
Speaker 1: so well for the Chargers. I realized they had They

1140
01:03:24,880 --> 01:03:27,560
Speaker 1: won the takeaway battle four to nothing, and that's always

1141
01:03:27,600 --> 01:03:29,440
Speaker 1: going to help you beat the Chiefs. It's probably the

1142
01:03:29,520 --> 01:03:31,160
Speaker 1: best way to help you beat the Chiefs by giving

1143
01:03:31,200 --> 01:03:35,000
Speaker 1: your offense extra possessions. I didn't watch that entire game

1144
01:03:35,120 --> 01:03:38,720
Speaker 1: tape back, but in the in the plays that I

1145
01:03:38,840 --> 01:03:43,520
Speaker 1: did watch, it always seemed like the offensive staff for

1146
01:03:43,600 --> 01:03:48,040
Speaker 1: the Chargers had a built in check down option for

1147
01:03:48,200 --> 01:03:53,280
Speaker 1: Herbert to turn to every time the Chiefs came with

1148
01:03:53,560 --> 01:03:55,480
Speaker 1: zero blitz. And I don't think they did it a lot,

1149
01:03:56,000 --> 01:03:59,760
Speaker 1: but we know Specola will do it. Oh absolutely, What

1150
01:04:00,000 --> 01:04:02,400
Speaker 1: did you what did you pull from? What did you

1151
01:04:02,520 --> 01:04:05,520
Speaker 1: pull from the Chargers tape that you think the Bills

1152
01:04:05,520 --> 01:04:09,040
Speaker 1: could maybe go to school on for this week's game. Well,

1153
01:04:09,040 --> 01:04:11,640
Speaker 1: I think you hit something that's really important on the head.

1154
01:04:12,600 --> 01:04:15,960
Speaker 1: One thing when you play the Chiefs is and this

1155
01:04:16,160 --> 01:04:17,880
Speaker 1: is not a profound statement, but I'm going to get

1156
01:04:17,920 --> 01:04:20,960
Speaker 1: to kind of what you said is you can't get

1157
01:04:21,040 --> 01:04:23,160
Speaker 1: into a lot of long yardage and you certainly can't

1158
01:04:23,200 --> 01:04:26,320
Speaker 1: go three and out. So if a six yard pass

1159
01:04:26,560 --> 01:04:28,960
Speaker 1: is there on first or second down, you gotta take it.

1160
01:04:29,400 --> 01:04:31,919
Speaker 1: And I think that's really important in this game because

1161
01:04:31,960 --> 01:04:34,880
Speaker 1: they will show pressure. We know that they're a pressure defense.

1162
01:04:35,160 --> 01:04:38,080
Speaker 1: They will play you know zero normally they do on

1163
01:04:38,240 --> 01:04:40,800
Speaker 1: third down. But you need to get rid of the

1164
01:04:40,840 --> 01:04:44,600
Speaker 1: football when the pressure comes. And obviously Josh is the

1165
01:04:44,680 --> 01:04:46,960
Speaker 1: kind of quarterback that he has a big play mentality

1166
01:04:47,200 --> 01:04:49,360
Speaker 1: and at times he'll try to make something happen and

1167
01:04:49,440 --> 01:04:51,800
Speaker 1: he's really good at that. But like I said, you

1168
01:04:51,920 --> 01:04:55,360
Speaker 1: can't count on that one thing about Justin Herbert. That's

1169
01:04:55,440 --> 01:04:58,960
Speaker 1: different from Josh and they're both great young quarterbacks, but

1170
01:04:59,160 --> 01:05:03,640
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert really plays within the structure of the play design.

1171
01:05:04,120 --> 01:05:07,400
Speaker 1: Some even think he plays mechanically at times because that's

1172
01:05:07,520 --> 01:05:10,160
Speaker 1: that's what he looks like. You would never describe Josh

1173
01:05:10,240 --> 01:05:12,720
Speaker 1: Allen that way, and I think he has to be

1174
01:05:12,840 --> 01:05:15,880
Speaker 1: really careful in this game of not feeling like, hey,

1175
01:05:15,960 --> 01:05:18,640
Speaker 1: I've got to The baseball analogy is I've got to

1176
01:05:18,680 --> 01:05:20,080
Speaker 1: hit a three run home run with you know, No

1177
01:05:20,160 --> 01:05:22,120
Speaker 1: One on base that think that, hey, we got to

1178
01:05:22,120 --> 01:05:24,440
Speaker 1: score thirty five this week, and you know what, I

1179
01:05:24,520 --> 01:05:28,520
Speaker 1: gotta make big plays because last year, if you recall,

1180
01:05:28,640 --> 01:05:31,439
Speaker 1: in the AFC Championship game, they didn't really make many

1181
01:05:31,560 --> 01:05:34,720
Speaker 1: big plays until what late third quarter maybe fourth quarter?

1182
01:05:35,200 --> 01:05:39,200
Speaker 1: You go, you have to move the football. I'm not

1183
01:05:39,280 --> 01:05:41,840
Speaker 1: a big believer in the whole concept of limit possessions

1184
01:05:42,160 --> 01:05:44,880
Speaker 1: because the Chiefs, no matter what you do offensively, will

1185
01:05:44,880 --> 01:05:48,000
Speaker 1: still get nine possessions, maybe ten, And if they scored

1186
01:05:48,080 --> 01:05:52,080
Speaker 1: five touchdowns, it doesn't matter. But but they need to

1187
01:05:52,240 --> 01:05:55,720
Speaker 1: sustain offense. And yes, do they need to hit explosive plays.

1188
01:05:55,760 --> 01:05:59,360
Speaker 1: Of course you do. But your game plan can't be just,

1189
01:05:59,640 --> 01:06:01,880
Speaker 1: you know, just swing for the fences and hope that

1190
01:06:01,920 --> 01:06:05,520
Speaker 1: you hit explosive plays. You need to sustain offense. What

1191
01:06:05,720 --> 01:06:08,600
Speaker 1: is the biggest difference between this year's Buffalo Bill's offense

1192
01:06:09,000 --> 01:06:15,520
Speaker 1: and last year's Well, overall, I think that for the

1193
01:06:15,680 --> 01:06:18,560
Speaker 1: most part, while Josh has clearly improved, he hasn't been

1194
01:06:18,680 --> 01:06:22,480
Speaker 1: quite the same. The next part to that is what

1195
01:06:22,600 --> 01:06:24,360
Speaker 1: do they want to do with the run game. You know,

1196
01:06:24,480 --> 01:06:27,720
Speaker 1: obviously there was a driving rainstorm on Sunday, they played

1197
01:06:27,760 --> 01:06:30,320
Speaker 1: a bad opponent. They could run the ball, and they

1198
01:06:30,440 --> 01:06:33,840
Speaker 1: ran it effectively. So the question is was that success

1199
01:06:34,840 --> 01:06:37,600
Speaker 1: was the volume and the success a function of a

1200
01:06:37,760 --> 01:06:41,240
Speaker 1: the weather, be the opponent. What was it a function of?

1201
01:06:41,480 --> 01:06:44,080
Speaker 1: Is this something now that we believe that they're going

1202
01:06:44,160 --> 01:06:46,680
Speaker 1: to do more of and that they feel must be

1203
01:06:46,800 --> 01:06:49,680
Speaker 1: important to the way they play offense or is this

1204
01:06:49,840 --> 01:06:51,840
Speaker 1: going to be a game whereas I said, we have

1205
01:06:51,920 --> 01:06:54,160
Speaker 1: to score thirty five and you know what, running the

1206
01:06:54,240 --> 01:06:56,600
Speaker 1: ball ain't going to get us thirty five points. So

1207
01:06:57,720 --> 01:07:00,480
Speaker 1: that's a question we can't answer. Can just you know,

1208
01:07:00,560 --> 01:07:03,800
Speaker 1: sort of posit the questions? You know, I look, I

1209
01:07:03,880 --> 01:07:06,480
Speaker 1: wasn't there in Buffalo on Sunday, but the weather was

1210
01:07:06,520 --> 01:07:08,960
Speaker 1: not particularly good, right Chris, Yeah, it was on an

1211
01:07:09,000 --> 01:07:14,560
Speaker 1: off rain. Yeah, so I mean it so obviously given

1212
01:07:14,560 --> 01:07:16,520
Speaker 1: the opponent too, that allowed them to run the ball

1213
01:07:16,600 --> 01:07:19,640
Speaker 1: very effectively and stay with the run game. You know,

1214
01:07:20,360 --> 01:07:22,760
Speaker 1: I believe they would like to run the ball with

1215
01:07:22,960 --> 01:07:26,440
Speaker 1: a little more volume and certainly with higher level efficiency.

1216
01:07:26,920 --> 01:07:29,560
Speaker 1: The question is is this the game that that's the

1217
01:07:30,080 --> 01:07:33,560
Speaker 1: right tactical approach? Yeah, because I wonder that too, because

1218
01:07:33,760 --> 01:07:35,840
Speaker 1: when they have turned to the run game, it has

1219
01:07:35,880 --> 01:07:37,640
Speaker 1: been more effective, and that was their goal in the

1220
01:07:37,760 --> 01:07:41,000
Speaker 1: off season, not run it more, run it more effectively.

1221
01:07:41,080 --> 01:07:42,960
Speaker 1: And I think for the most part with Moss and

1222
01:07:43,040 --> 01:07:47,000
Speaker 1: Singletary they have they're going against the Chiefs defense that's

1223
01:07:47,000 --> 01:07:50,600
Speaker 1: actually worse against the run than Houston is. Yes, so

1224
01:07:50,760 --> 01:07:53,880
Speaker 1: it begs the question, can you at least use a

1225
01:07:54,040 --> 01:07:59,280
Speaker 1: run game against the Chiefs too? As you say, sustain

1226
01:07:59,480 --> 01:08:03,280
Speaker 1: your off stay on schedule with down and distance, stay

1227
01:08:03,360 --> 01:08:06,120
Speaker 1: out of those bad third downs, whereas Bagnolo sends the

1228
01:08:06,240 --> 01:08:11,840
Speaker 1: kitchen sink at you and finish drives. And that's that's

1229
01:08:12,000 --> 01:08:15,400
Speaker 1: the question. And I think my response to that would

1230
01:08:15,440 --> 01:08:18,479
Speaker 1: be that I think Moss is much more of a

1231
01:08:18,600 --> 01:08:24,439
Speaker 1: sustaining grinder stylistically than Singletary. So I'm wondering if sink,

1232
01:08:24,520 --> 01:08:27,720
Speaker 1: if Moss is much more of the back you would

1233
01:08:27,800 --> 01:08:29,640
Speaker 1: use in a game like this when you want to

1234
01:08:29,720 --> 01:08:32,280
Speaker 1: run the ball, because that's his game, that was his game.

1235
01:08:32,360 --> 01:08:34,560
Speaker 1: Coming out of college. No one saw Moss as a

1236
01:08:34,600 --> 01:08:38,200
Speaker 1: big play, explosive back. They saw him as a sustaining grinder,

1237
01:08:38,240 --> 01:08:41,560
Speaker 1: a competitive, decisive downhill runner to kind of back that

1238
01:08:41,760 --> 01:08:44,000
Speaker 1: when it's blocked for three, he can get six, and

1239
01:08:44,120 --> 01:08:46,360
Speaker 1: in a game like this, those extra three yards mean

1240
01:08:46,439 --> 01:08:51,439
Speaker 1: an awful lot. What what else do you think about

1241
01:08:51,520 --> 01:08:54,719
Speaker 1: this game? Great? When you get into at this point,

1242
01:08:55,720 --> 01:08:58,040
Speaker 1: mahomes with a you know, new offense, like kind of

1243
01:08:58,040 --> 01:09:00,760
Speaker 1: a road grader. How different is the Chief? Is the

1244
01:09:00,840 --> 01:09:03,719
Speaker 1: Chief offense different than we've seen at all? It seems

1245
01:09:03,760 --> 01:09:06,960
Speaker 1: to me it's one of those old things they reloaded

1246
01:09:07,080 --> 01:09:10,360
Speaker 1: rather than rebuilt their offensive line. I mean, they Holmes

1247
01:09:10,520 --> 01:09:12,080
Speaker 1: is still the guy that's going to get it done.

1248
01:09:12,160 --> 01:09:14,680
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill. I mean, which one's more important? Is a

1249
01:09:14,760 --> 01:09:17,280
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill or Travis Kelsey? Which one do you think

1250
01:09:17,400 --> 01:09:20,479
Speaker 1: has you know, if it's evolved at all, it's probably

1251
01:09:20,560 --> 01:09:23,120
Speaker 1: going to start with those two. Well, it does, and

1252
01:09:23,240 --> 01:09:26,879
Speaker 1: they're both important and different ways. Steve, As you know, obviously,

1253
01:09:26,920 --> 01:09:30,200
Speaker 1: when you have a threat like Hill who on any

1254
01:09:30,280 --> 01:09:32,759
Speaker 1: given play can take take the top off your defense,

1255
01:09:32,920 --> 01:09:35,920
Speaker 1: and that's the last thing that a defensive coordinator ever

1256
01:09:36,000 --> 01:09:38,200
Speaker 1: wants to happen in the game, a sixty yard touchdown

1257
01:09:38,360 --> 01:09:40,800
Speaker 1: because those plays, you know that you just can't get

1258
01:09:40,840 --> 01:09:45,080
Speaker 1: those back. So they're they're both important in different ways.

1259
01:09:46,000 --> 01:09:48,920
Speaker 1: I think Kelsey, clearly, for the most part, is much

1260
01:09:49,000 --> 01:09:52,960
Speaker 1: more of the sustainer and whereas Hill can create those

1261
01:09:53,080 --> 01:09:56,839
Speaker 1: big plays. You know, that's a hard question to answer,

1262
01:09:57,160 --> 01:10:00,720
Speaker 1: but their offense is not really different him last year.

1263
01:10:01,000 --> 01:10:03,200
Speaker 1: The big question with their offense is how much they

1264
01:10:03,320 --> 01:10:06,360
Speaker 1: choose to run the ball and how they feel they

1265
01:10:06,400 --> 01:10:10,040
Speaker 1: can pass protect. And obviously we know that the Bills

1266
01:10:10,439 --> 01:10:14,880
Speaker 1: being bring big bodies as pass rushes. I assume Rousseau's okay, right,

1267
01:10:14,920 --> 01:10:19,519
Speaker 1: he's yea, yeah, yeah. I always he says he's practicing,

1268
01:10:19,840 --> 01:10:22,600
Speaker 1: practiced fully yesterday and is practicing again today, so he

1269
01:10:22,720 --> 01:10:26,680
Speaker 1: looks fine. Yeah, so he'll go um, you know. So

1270
01:10:27,400 --> 01:10:29,639
Speaker 1: you know, pass rush is an interesting thing with Mahomes

1271
01:10:29,880 --> 01:10:33,320
Speaker 1: because just getting bodies around him, he's capable of making

1272
01:10:33,439 --> 01:10:36,679
Speaker 1: so many plays on the move that that automatically doesn't

1273
01:10:36,720 --> 01:10:40,240
Speaker 1: shut down their offense. But and then then the other

1274
01:10:40,360 --> 01:10:43,320
Speaker 1: factor is the receivers are so good when Mahomes moves

1275
01:10:43,360 --> 01:10:46,080
Speaker 1: at finding open areas. I'm sure they practice that an

1276
01:10:46,160 --> 01:10:48,920
Speaker 1: awful lot because Mahomes is that kind of quarterback. As

1277
01:10:48,960 --> 01:10:51,200
Speaker 1: Steve knows that that doesn't just happen on a whim.

1278
01:10:51,320 --> 01:10:53,880
Speaker 1: That's practice, right. The last one I've got for you,

1279
01:10:54,040 --> 01:10:58,920
Speaker 1: Greg is how the offense for the Bills has been diversified,

1280
01:10:59,000 --> 01:11:02,759
Speaker 1: particularly in the past game Sanders instead of John Brown

1281
01:11:03,400 --> 01:11:08,320
Speaker 1: is a more diverse three level receiver. How first question

1282
01:11:08,479 --> 01:11:11,800
Speaker 1: is how do you think that can help the execution

1283
01:11:11,920 --> 01:11:14,640
Speaker 1: of Buffalo's passing game against his Chiefs defense? Number one

1284
01:11:14,640 --> 01:11:17,720
Speaker 1: and then number two. Has Dawson Knox emerged to the

1285
01:11:17,800 --> 01:11:21,559
Speaker 1: point where he must be accounted for by this Chiefs

1286
01:11:21,640 --> 01:11:24,840
Speaker 1: defense and how might that impact their execution against his

1287
01:11:24,920 --> 01:11:29,240
Speaker 1: Chiefs defense? Well, and that's a great question, and I'll

1288
01:11:29,280 --> 01:11:35,400
Speaker 1: tell you why, because predominantly, predominantly the matchup man to

1289
01:11:35,520 --> 01:11:38,000
Speaker 1: man when the Chiefs play man coverage on tight ends

1290
01:11:38,080 --> 01:11:42,799
Speaker 1: is sorens And obviously he's done okay, otherwise he wouldn't

1291
01:11:42,800 --> 01:11:45,639
Speaker 1: be doing it. But that to me is a matchup

1292
01:11:45,720 --> 01:11:48,479
Speaker 1: you can take advantage of. So I don't think that

1293
01:11:48,640 --> 01:11:52,479
Speaker 1: the Chiefs will change how they play the tight end.

1294
01:11:52,960 --> 01:11:56,120
Speaker 1: I think it's incumbent upon the Bills to find a

1295
01:11:56,240 --> 01:12:00,040
Speaker 1: way to exploit that matchup. Now we saw look the

1296
01:12:00,080 --> 01:12:03,639
Speaker 1: touchdown we're looking at now, he was not the primary receiver,

1297
01:12:04,280 --> 01:12:06,360
Speaker 1: But the touchdown two weeks ago where he lined up

1298
01:12:06,360 --> 01:12:09,160
Speaker 1: as the boundary acts and caught the back shoulder faith,

1299
01:12:09,360 --> 01:12:12,439
Speaker 1: he was the primary receiver. So the big question is

1300
01:12:12,840 --> 01:12:15,439
Speaker 1: do they make Knox more of a factor in this

1301
01:12:15,640 --> 01:12:19,560
Speaker 1: game with plays clearly designed for him when they anticipate

1302
01:12:19,680 --> 01:12:23,080
Speaker 1: man coverage based on film study, I would to me,

1303
01:12:23,800 --> 01:12:25,880
Speaker 1: I would try to do that because I think Knox

1304
01:12:26,040 --> 01:12:29,800
Speaker 1: is very athletic, and I think my guess is I

1305
01:12:29,840 --> 01:12:31,760
Speaker 1: don't know what's in his head, but I guess the

1306
01:12:31,840 --> 01:12:35,519
Speaker 1: confidence levels probably going up simply because he's done well

1307
01:12:35,800 --> 01:12:38,000
Speaker 1: through the first part of this season and he does

1308
01:12:38,120 --> 01:12:41,400
Speaker 1: have quality receiving traits. Last thing I got to ask

1309
01:12:41,439 --> 01:12:44,280
Speaker 1: you about was the rookie Spencer Brown got to start

1310
01:12:44,320 --> 01:12:46,800
Speaker 1: at right tackle. There were some injuries going on up front.

1311
01:12:46,880 --> 01:12:49,000
Speaker 1: He seemed too and it looks like he's going to

1312
01:12:49,040 --> 01:12:51,960
Speaker 1: get a chance to stay in there. What you see

1313
01:12:52,080 --> 01:12:56,080
Speaker 1: from the Bill's rookie right tackle Spencer Brown. Yeah, I

1314
01:12:56,120 --> 01:12:59,040
Speaker 1: watched him pretty carefully because you know, obviously I knew

1315
01:12:59,040 --> 01:13:00,720
Speaker 1: you'd asked me about him, and I thought if he

1316
01:13:00,760 --> 01:13:03,439
Speaker 1: continued to play, I actually thought he played pretty well.

1317
01:13:04,320 --> 01:13:07,360
Speaker 1: You know, again, I'm not an offensive line guru and

1318
01:13:07,479 --> 01:13:10,600
Speaker 1: I'm not charting guys based on hand placement and footsteps

1319
01:13:10,640 --> 01:13:13,439
Speaker 1: and all that, but I thought overall he played well.

1320
01:13:13,840 --> 01:13:16,200
Speaker 1: In fact, I could make the argument based on tape

1321
01:13:16,240 --> 01:13:19,799
Speaker 1: study that he greeted out better than Dion Dawkins overall,

1322
01:13:20,040 --> 01:13:23,559
Speaker 1: So I you know, again, this is now a big game.

1323
01:13:25,080 --> 01:13:27,639
Speaker 1: It's it's, you know, the bright lights of Sunday night football.

1324
01:13:27,840 --> 01:13:30,320
Speaker 1: He's a rookie making his second start. I can't speak

1325
01:13:30,360 --> 01:13:32,479
Speaker 1: to what's in his head, but I thought just from

1326
01:13:32,479 --> 01:13:35,280
Speaker 1: watching the tape on Sunday that he played pretty well

1327
01:13:35,320 --> 01:13:38,080
Speaker 1: in his first NFL start. He's also gonna have about

1328
01:13:38,080 --> 01:13:40,599
Speaker 1: three hundred people from Southwest Iowa going to the game

1329
01:13:40,680 --> 01:13:43,599
Speaker 1: at Arrowhead, so he's gonna have a cheering section, that's

1330
01:13:43,600 --> 01:13:46,200
Speaker 1: for sure. The play I like, oh that those three

1331
01:13:46,320 --> 01:13:48,120
Speaker 1: hundred people, you might not hear them a whole. Well,

1332
01:13:48,160 --> 01:13:51,559
Speaker 1: that's true, that's true. Yeah. My favorite play last week though,

1333
01:13:51,800 --> 01:13:54,360
Speaker 1: My favorite play last week from him, though, Greg was

1334
01:13:54,400 --> 01:13:55,880
Speaker 1: when he blocked the guy all the way to the

1335
01:13:55,920 --> 01:13:59,439
Speaker 1: Houston sideline. Did you see that one? Yeah? Oh yeah, no,

1336
01:13:59,600 --> 01:14:02,200
Speaker 1: he played well. Yeah, And I, by the way, I

1337
01:14:02,280 --> 01:14:04,400
Speaker 1: did him coming out. So I thought he was a

1338
01:14:04,439 --> 01:14:08,640
Speaker 1: really intriguing prospect because he's a big kid who's really athletic.

1339
01:14:09,040 --> 01:14:10,800
Speaker 1: So the key thing with a player like that to

1340
01:14:10,920 --> 01:14:13,680
Speaker 1: me is, you know, just the NFL weight room get

1341
01:14:13,760 --> 01:14:16,559
Speaker 1: him stronger. But he's got really good feed, he's long,

1342
01:14:17,120 --> 01:14:19,680
Speaker 1: and that's a trait for as you guys know, for

1343
01:14:19,760 --> 01:14:23,120
Speaker 1: an offensive tackle length, whether it's body length or arm length,

1344
01:14:23,200 --> 01:14:25,920
Speaker 1: that's a trait. Yeah, no question about it. As always,

1345
01:14:25,960 --> 01:14:28,400
Speaker 1: Thanks Greg, enjoy that game on Sunday night. We know

1346
01:14:28,439 --> 01:14:30,400
Speaker 1: you'll be watching, if not Sunday night in the film

1347
01:14:30,479 --> 01:14:32,600
Speaker 1: room Monday morning for sure. Thanks for the time. You

1348
01:14:32,640 --> 01:14:34,400
Speaker 1: know I'm gonna you know, I stayed up for the

1349
01:14:34,439 --> 01:14:36,719
Speaker 1: whole game last night, which was a bad mistake. Given

1350
01:14:36,840 --> 01:14:38,760
Speaker 1: up you know when I got up this morning. But

1351
01:14:39,400 --> 01:14:41,200
Speaker 1: I think I might have to try to stay up. Well,

1352
01:14:41,280 --> 01:14:44,360
Speaker 1: let's let's put it this way. Let's hope that it's

1353
01:14:44,439 --> 01:14:46,479
Speaker 1: really close and I stay up, or let's hope if

1354
01:14:46,520 --> 01:14:48,920
Speaker 1: it's not close it's the Bills. And then I got

1355
01:14:48,960 --> 01:14:50,880
Speaker 1: a bet. Amen to that. All right, we'll catch up

1356
01:14:50,880 --> 01:14:53,880
Speaker 1: with you next week. Greg, Thanks as always. That's great well. Steve,

1357

Speaker 1: We've got some players commenting after practice today. I want

1359
01:15:00,280 --> 01:15:01,760
Speaker 1: to miss that. We'll have it for your next here

1360
01:15:01,800 --> 01:15:13,880
Speaker 1: on One Bill's Lives. Welcome back into One Bills Live.

1361
01:15:14,000 --> 01:15:16,040
Speaker 1: Great job by great co Sell breaking down a matchup

1362
01:15:16,080 --> 01:15:18,880
Speaker 1: Sunday night. If you missed it, you can listen back

1363
01:15:18,960 --> 01:15:23,000
Speaker 1: to it afterwards on the Bills YouTube channel. We'll have

1364
01:15:23,080 --> 01:15:26,720

1365
01:15:26,760 --> 01:15:32,120
Speaker 1: good x's and oh's dissection by the film watching Guru.

1366
01:15:32,520 --> 01:15:34,519
Speaker 1: What we want to do now, though, is Steve and

1367
01:15:34,560 --> 01:15:37,479
Speaker 1: I are going to provide you with some comments from

1368
01:15:37,600 --> 01:15:41,800
Speaker 1: Jordan Poyer, who finished out the practice week. Practiced every day.

1369
01:15:41,880 --> 01:15:43,960
Speaker 1: He was limited as he's trying to return from the

1370
01:15:44,000 --> 01:15:48,600
Speaker 1: ankle injury. But you'll hear in his comments now on

1371
01:15:48,800 --> 01:15:53,559
Speaker 1: how he feels about playing on Sunday. Sounds good, great,

1372
01:15:53,640 --> 01:15:57,280
Speaker 1: sounds great action. Gready to play was a week ago?

1373
01:15:58,520 --> 01:16:02,400
Speaker 1: You say, more for Autionary, that's why you didn't. Yeah,

1374
01:16:02,560 --> 01:16:05,080
Speaker 1: just listening to the trainers and uh, you know, getting

1375
01:16:05,120 --> 01:16:08,080
Speaker 1: the best advice from from our doctors, and they thought

1376
01:16:08,120 --> 01:16:11,439
Speaker 1: it was best for me to you know, recover from

1377
01:16:11,479 --> 01:16:13,080
Speaker 1: it and you know I'm back ready to play though

1378
01:16:13,800 --> 01:16:17,800
Speaker 1: you pride yourself and me another sixties starts in a row? Long?

1379
01:16:18,640 --> 01:16:21,280
Speaker 1: Was that tough to hear? Yeah, it was, uh, you know,

1380
01:16:21,320 --> 01:16:23,720
Speaker 1: and actually but at the end of the day, you know, um,

1381
01:16:24,160 --> 01:16:27,400
Speaker 1: I'm back healthy and next I'm ready to play. Um

1382
01:16:28,000 --> 01:16:31,320
Speaker 1: four downs. You guys have been out there in those situations,

1383
01:16:31,400 --> 01:16:33,479
Speaker 1: but a bit this year and at a pair amount

1384
01:16:33,520 --> 01:16:37,360
Speaker 1: of success and enforcing turnovers on downs. Uh. In talking

1385
01:16:37,439 --> 01:16:39,839
Speaker 1: with a couple of guys this week, I guess Leslie,

1386
01:16:40,200 --> 01:16:41,760
Speaker 1: So I came to you guys in the spring and

1387
01:16:41,800 --> 01:16:44,679
Speaker 1: said to be prepared for that based on some studies

1388
01:16:44,680 --> 01:16:47,200
Speaker 1: that they had done in research, then your defense may

1389
01:16:47,280 --> 01:16:50,080
Speaker 1: find yourself in that situation. What was that like to

1390
01:16:50,240 --> 01:16:52,640
Speaker 1: kind of what are those moments like to know that

1391
01:16:52,680 --> 01:16:54,680
Speaker 1: you're gonna be put in that spot and when you

1392
01:16:54,760 --> 01:16:57,360
Speaker 1: have successful kind of boost gonna be Yeah, you know,

1393
01:16:57,439 --> 01:16:59,519
Speaker 1: that's just kind of how the NFL is trending right now.

1394
01:16:59,600 --> 01:17:02,200
Speaker 1: You know a lot of fourth down situations, a lot

1395
01:17:02,240 --> 01:17:05,360
Speaker 1: of four down territory. So it's kind of just almost

1396
01:17:05,400 --> 01:17:07,280
Speaker 1: as the defense, you got to expect it, that's what's

1397
01:17:07,280 --> 01:17:09,760
Speaker 1: going to happen, and so um, you know when it

1398
01:17:09,960 --> 01:17:12,479
Speaker 1: when a team decides to go for it on fourth down,

1399
01:17:12,479 --> 01:17:14,920
Speaker 1: you're not surprised by it. And so I think, you know,

1400
01:17:15,120 --> 01:17:18,400
Speaker 1: just being prepared for all sources, all those situations and

1401
01:17:18,520 --> 01:17:20,640
Speaker 1: not being surprised by when a team decides to go

1402
01:17:20,800 --> 01:17:22,200
Speaker 1: for it, and you know, being ready for in that

1403
01:17:22,280 --> 01:17:26,439
Speaker 1: situation presents and so the range on the field in

1404
01:17:26,520 --> 01:17:29,320
Speaker 1: which they may go for it, expand it. I mean

1405
01:17:29,840 --> 01:17:31,519
Speaker 1: you could say that, you could say depending on the

1406
01:17:31,560 --> 01:17:34,760
Speaker 1: team you're playing, depending on you know, how aggressive the coaches. Um.

1407
01:17:35,200 --> 01:17:37,400
Speaker 1: You know, I think there's a lot of variables to

1408
01:17:37,479 --> 01:17:40,800
Speaker 1: go into it. Um, you know, but I can't really

1409
01:17:40,840 --> 01:17:43,160
Speaker 1: point my finger at one. On the flip side of

1410
01:17:43,200 --> 01:17:46,439
Speaker 1: that when your offense is maybe considering going for it

1411
01:17:46,520 --> 01:17:49,400
Speaker 1: when they're in those situations, Jerry said, a lot of times,

1412
01:17:49,439 --> 01:17:51,400
Speaker 1: you guys are up there rooting for him to do it,

1413
01:17:51,560 --> 01:17:53,880
Speaker 1: you know, because you know, in a way it's a

1414
01:17:53,960 --> 01:17:56,080
Speaker 1: vote of confidence for you too. If you know, if

1415
01:17:56,200 --> 01:17:58,640
Speaker 1: they're unsuccessful, you guys might have a short field. But

1416
01:17:59,560 --> 01:18:01,559
Speaker 1: the fade from the defense that if you know, if

1417
01:18:01,600 --> 01:18:03,880
Speaker 1: we put themselves, put them in a tough spot, they're

1418
01:18:03,880 --> 01:18:05,720
Speaker 1: gonna come through for us, right right. And I mean

1419
01:18:05,800 --> 01:18:07,560
Speaker 1: that's just the mindset that you gotta have. You know,

1420
01:18:07,600 --> 01:18:09,719
Speaker 1: if our offense is going for it, you know, obviously

1421
01:18:11,160 --> 01:18:12,320
Speaker 1: they might not get it. So we got to be

1422
01:18:12,400 --> 01:18:14,160
Speaker 1: ready to go out there on defense and make a stand.

1423
01:18:14,200 --> 01:18:17,160
Speaker 1: And so um again, we got a confidence and you know,

1424
01:18:17,160 --> 01:18:19,360
Speaker 1: our offense got confidence in our coaches and whatever they

1425
01:18:19,400 --> 01:18:22,200
Speaker 1: decide to do. UM, we got confidence in ourselves that

1426
01:18:22,400 --> 01:18:23,640
Speaker 1: you know, if we get put out there in a

1427
01:18:23,680 --> 01:18:25,519
Speaker 1: situation where offense goes for it, they don't get it.

1428
01:18:25,600 --> 01:18:27,479
Speaker 1: We got to go out there and make a stand.

1429
01:18:29,840 --> 01:18:32,400
Speaker 1: Start mats status up in the year. How does this

1430
01:18:32,439 --> 01:18:35,840
Speaker 1: availability or maybe lack the up effects where you guys

1431
01:18:35,920 --> 01:18:38,960
Speaker 1: can operates defensive? You know, MAT's is such a great

1432
01:18:39,000 --> 01:18:41,280
Speaker 1: player for us, and he does so many great things. UM.

1433
01:18:41,320 --> 01:18:43,680
Speaker 1: It's hard to replace a guy like Matt Lelano. UM.

1434
01:18:44,200 --> 01:18:46,840
Speaker 1: Then again, you know, you got guys like aj Klein

1435
01:18:46,960 --> 01:18:48,760
Speaker 1: who's who's been in the league for a long time,

1436
01:18:49,040 --> 01:18:53,040
Speaker 1: UM and understands our scheme, understands our defense, and understands

1437
01:18:53,080 --> 01:18:55,280
Speaker 1: you know, what we're trying to do. UM. And so

1438
01:18:55,520 --> 01:18:57,639
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's always is, you know, as cliche

1439
01:18:57,720 --> 01:18:59,720
Speaker 1: as it's always next man up. We don't expect any

1440
01:18:59,760 --> 01:19:02,720
Speaker 1: fall and he drop off. But that you know, that

1441
01:19:02,880 --> 01:19:05,040
Speaker 1: is a guy like Matt Milano. You know, there's not

1442
01:19:05,439 --> 01:19:07,639
Speaker 1: very many people, um on this earth that can really

1443
01:19:07,680 --> 01:19:09,240
Speaker 1: a place a guy like that on the football field.

1444
01:19:09,800 --> 01:19:12,880
Speaker 1: We'll sit up here about Chaun Johnson's performance last week. Yeah,

1445
01:19:12,960 --> 01:19:14,840
Speaker 1: just I mean, he's just he's he's been ready to

1446
01:19:14,880 --> 01:19:17,160
Speaker 1: play man. He's put in so much work. Um. You know,

1447
01:19:17,240 --> 01:19:20,080
Speaker 1: we're training together in the offseason. Um. You know, he

1448
01:19:20,560 --> 01:19:22,479
Speaker 1: he reminds me a lot of you know, kind of

1449
01:19:22,560 --> 01:19:25,800
Speaker 1: myself in that in his situation, you know, his third

1450
01:19:25,880 --> 01:19:29,240
Speaker 1: year in the league, Um, you know, playing behind two starters, um,

1451
01:19:29,360 --> 01:19:31,599
Speaker 1: and then playing well too, and just kind of waiting

1452
01:19:31,640 --> 01:19:33,800
Speaker 1: for his turn and being prepared for when his turn

1453
01:19:33,960 --> 01:19:35,760
Speaker 1: is called, you know. And that's why I was telling, man,

1454
01:19:35,840 --> 01:19:38,120
Speaker 1: just stay ready for when your opportunities called, because you

1455
01:19:38,200 --> 01:19:39,880
Speaker 1: never know what it is. And uh, you know, I

1456
01:19:39,960 --> 01:19:41,880
Speaker 1: was happy for him that he played, he played well,

1457
01:19:41,880 --> 01:19:43,639
Speaker 1: and he got a he got his first career inception.

1458
01:19:47,400 --> 01:19:50,840
Speaker 1: You guys are like durance, So you have to get

1459
01:19:50,840 --> 01:19:56,920
Speaker 1: to that decisive point where I go, happ wrong? What

1460
01:19:57,320 --> 01:20:01,759
Speaker 1: technical strange? Is that what you guys? Actually? When guys

1461
01:20:01,840 --> 01:20:04,960
Speaker 1: like Keelty Hill or so good at fun, I mean, yeah,

1462
01:20:05,000 --> 01:20:07,120
Speaker 1: that's just you know, that's just what their offense is

1463
01:20:07,560 --> 01:20:09,160
Speaker 1: is it was really good at you know, the plays

1464
01:20:09,200 --> 01:20:12,400
Speaker 1: never over um on the initial route my homes is

1465
01:20:12,400 --> 01:20:14,320
Speaker 1: a really good job of seeing the field and seeing

1466
01:20:14,360 --> 01:20:16,600
Speaker 1: the pocket and being able to move um in and

1467
01:20:16,680 --> 01:20:20,200
Speaker 1: out of the pocket and make impossible throws. You know, um,

1468
01:20:20,280 --> 01:20:23,000
Speaker 1: And so situations like those, you know, obviously you gotta

1469
01:20:23,320 --> 01:20:25,240
Speaker 1: you gotta be on top of and understand that you

1470
01:20:25,560 --> 01:20:28,960
Speaker 1: and the route's not over um embracing the plaster um

1471
01:20:29,439 --> 01:20:31,800
Speaker 1: and and you know, when those balls are in the air,

1472
01:20:31,960 --> 01:20:33,680
Speaker 1: it's fifty fifty balls. You know, we just gotta be

1473
01:20:33,680 --> 01:20:36,080
Speaker 1: able to make plays on how something is Like when

1474
01:20:36,120 --> 01:20:44,160
Speaker 1: you're in that realize there's somebody probably the uh you

1475
01:20:44,280 --> 01:20:46,280
Speaker 1: know that's I don't know, that's a kind of a

1476
01:20:46,320 --> 01:20:49,240
Speaker 1: weird question, like how tempting is it? Uh? You know,

1477
01:20:49,320 --> 01:20:52,519
Speaker 1: I think everybody's just got to do their job and understand,

1478
01:20:52,560 --> 01:20:55,800
Speaker 1: like I said, understand, we know, uh, and we feel

1479
01:20:55,840 --> 01:20:58,479
Speaker 1: like we understand what to expect when the route breaks down. Um,

1480
01:20:58,560 --> 01:21:01,559
Speaker 1: everybody's got to be doing in their job. The guys

1481
01:21:01,600 --> 01:21:03,639
Speaker 1: who are pass rushing, you know, got to keep running.

1482
01:21:03,680 --> 01:21:06,439
Speaker 1: The guys who are you know, down the field, got

1483
01:21:06,520 --> 01:21:08,240
Speaker 1: to stick to their man and like I said, make

1484
01:21:08,280 --> 01:21:10,559
Speaker 1: plays on the ball and when an opportunity presents us

1485
01:21:10,560 --> 01:21:15,240
Speaker 1: off all right. So that's Jordan Poyer addressing the media

1486
01:21:15,280 --> 01:21:17,280
Speaker 1: said he's good to go for Sunday. So that's a

1487
01:21:17,320 --> 01:21:20,679
Speaker 1: good sign. We do want to get to the fan

1488
01:21:20,800 --> 01:21:24,080
Speaker 1: Friday Mail bag Steve before this show is over, and

1489
01:21:24,720 --> 01:21:28,720
Speaker 1: Nick asks how much of the Chiefs defensive struggles were

1490
01:21:28,800 --> 01:21:31,360
Speaker 1: due to their injuries. Do you think they'll be fine

1491
01:21:31,479 --> 01:21:34,040
Speaker 1: once they are healthy or does their defense have deeper

1492
01:21:34,160 --> 01:21:37,200
Speaker 1: problems that go beyond the injuries. I'll tell you my

1493
01:21:37,479 --> 01:21:38,840
Speaker 1: take on it. You can tell me what you think

1494
01:21:38,880 --> 01:21:42,639
Speaker 1: in a second here, Steve. I'm of the opinion that, yes,

1495
01:21:42,960 --> 01:21:46,080
Speaker 1: I think them getting healthier will help them on defense,

1496
01:21:46,560 --> 01:21:48,839
Speaker 1: but I think their problems go deeper than the injuries.

1497
01:21:48,920 --> 01:21:52,519
Speaker 1: The reason why is because they have problems everywhere. It's

1498
01:21:52,560 --> 01:21:56,200
Speaker 1: not like they're just bad in run defense or red

1499
01:21:56,320 --> 01:21:59,920
Speaker 1: zone defense or third down defense. They're bad in all

1500
01:22:00,000 --> 01:22:03,000
Speaker 1: all of them, and just getting healthier isn't going to

1501
01:22:03,160 --> 01:22:05,519
Speaker 1: fix all of them. I mean, they're giving up touchdowns

1502
01:22:05,560 --> 01:22:08,479
Speaker 1: in the red zone, Steve, at a seventy nine percent clip.

1503
01:22:08,760 --> 01:22:12,880
Speaker 1: I mean, that's horrific. You might as well just put

1504
01:22:12,960 --> 01:22:16,040
Speaker 1: five guys out there and save everybody else for the

1505
01:22:16,160 --> 01:22:17,800
Speaker 1: later in the game or something. I mean, it's just

1506
01:22:18,200 --> 01:22:21,519
Speaker 1: it's colossally bad. Do I think they'll get better as

1507
01:22:21,560 --> 01:22:24,479
Speaker 1: the year goes on, probably, But their new pieces are

1508
01:22:24,520 --> 01:22:28,559
Speaker 1: not working, Like Jaren Reid the defensive tackle. They got.

1509
01:22:28,600 --> 01:22:31,240
Speaker 1: They thought that was going to fix their run defense problems.

1510
01:22:31,360 --> 01:22:33,599
Speaker 1: Their thirtieth against the run, they're giving up one hundred

1511
01:22:33,600 --> 01:22:36,360
Speaker 1: and forty six yards on the ground. Their red zone

1512
01:22:36,400 --> 01:22:39,679
Speaker 1: defense is terrible. They got a myriad of problems. They're

1513
01:22:39,680 --> 01:22:40,840
Speaker 1: not going to be able to fix them all in

1514
01:22:40,920 --> 01:22:44,560
Speaker 1: one week just because they're healthy. Yeah, I'm with you.

1515
01:22:45,160 --> 01:22:47,000
Speaker 1: They're not going to fix everything all at once, but

1516
01:22:47,120 --> 01:22:52,400
Speaker 1: really they don't have to. What they can do is

1517
01:22:52,479 --> 01:22:56,560
Speaker 1: get some guys healthy. Good better players make you better automatically,

1518
01:22:57,000 --> 01:23:00,320
Speaker 1: and it'll also elevate certain parts of their game that

1519
01:23:00,400 --> 01:23:03,000
Speaker 1: have been struggling. Their run defense, their red zone defense,

1520
01:23:03,080 --> 01:23:05,680
Speaker 1: as you mentioned, all that stuff will get better. And

1521
01:23:05,840 --> 01:23:08,200
Speaker 1: when one area of your defense gets a lot better,

1522
01:23:09,120 --> 01:23:12,760
Speaker 1: it's it bleeds over and everything else because those situations

1523
01:23:12,840 --> 01:23:15,400
Speaker 1: become more manageable across the board. So better players are

1524
01:23:15,400 --> 01:23:18,560
Speaker 1: gonna make them better, no question. Them getting healthier is

1525
01:23:18,600 --> 01:23:21,120
Speaker 1: going to make a big difference. But you're right, it's

1526
01:23:21,160 --> 01:23:24,160
Speaker 1: not going to solve everything right away. They've got they've

1527
01:23:24,160 --> 01:23:27,000
Speaker 1: got to play better within those schemes. The schemes will

1528
01:23:27,040 --> 01:23:32,120
Speaker 1: be the situation has become different. When your team plays

1529
01:23:32,160 --> 01:23:35,000
Speaker 1: different in those situations, you know what I mean, it's

1530
01:23:35,000 --> 01:23:39,280
Speaker 1: gonna be a ripple effect, and the fact that they're

1531
01:23:39,280 --> 01:23:42,240
Speaker 1: going to have better, more reliable players in some spots

1532
01:23:42,439 --> 01:23:45,719
Speaker 1: is going to help their defense everywhere. How that plays

1533
01:23:45,760 --> 01:23:48,839
Speaker 1: out in this game against this Bill's team, that remains

1534
01:23:48,880 --> 01:23:51,040
Speaker 1: to be seen. But I do think they're going to

1535
01:23:51,080 --> 01:23:53,320
Speaker 1: be a better defensive team than they have been in

1536
01:23:53,360 --> 01:23:55,320
Speaker 1: the weeks in the first couple of weeks of the season,

1537
01:23:55,439 --> 01:23:57,559
Speaker 1: just because they're getting better guys in there. That's why

1538
01:23:57,600 --> 01:24:01,320
Speaker 1: I'm very interested to see the linebackers they deploy in

1539
01:24:01,400 --> 01:24:04,400
Speaker 1: their nickel defense because, as you heard Greg Kosell mentioned,

1540
01:24:04,840 --> 01:24:09,240
Speaker 1: Nick Bolton, the rookie, has struggled when he's been used

1541
01:24:09,280 --> 01:24:12,439
Speaker 1: in nickel defense because he's not a supreme athlete. He's

1542
01:24:12,439 --> 01:24:14,919
Speaker 1: a little stiff in the hips, not good at coverage.

1543
01:24:15,400 --> 01:24:18,559
Speaker 1: And then Willie Gay, although he is an athlete, barely

1544
01:24:18,600 --> 01:24:21,360
Speaker 1: played nickel last year as a rookie, and now they

1545
01:24:21,439 --> 01:24:23,840
Speaker 1: might have to ask him to do that after not

1546
01:24:24,000 --> 01:24:26,559
Speaker 1: playing for the past month. He's bound to be rusty,

1547
01:24:26,680 --> 01:24:29,679
Speaker 1: and he's gonna play in a package that he usually

1548
01:24:29,760 --> 01:24:33,120
Speaker 1: doesn't play in. I think that's advantage Bills all the way.

1549
01:24:33,280 --> 01:24:35,400
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be very interesting to see how they

1550
01:24:35,439 --> 01:24:37,799
Speaker 1: deploy their players in the Nickel package, knowing the Bills

1551
01:24:38,160 --> 01:24:43,280
Speaker 1: go eleven personnel, ten personnel. A Ton Scott asks in

1552
01:24:43,360 --> 01:24:46,720
Speaker 1: the mail bag, what's the best answer to stop Hill

1553
01:24:47,240 --> 01:24:50,640
Speaker 1: and Kelsey. I'm gonna tell you, Steve. When I was

1554
01:24:50,680 --> 01:24:53,600
Speaker 1: taping the Madermot Show this week in your absence, I

1555
01:24:53,800 --> 01:24:57,720
Speaker 1: asked coach a similar question to this, and he said, well,

1556
01:24:57,760 --> 01:25:01,559
Speaker 1: if you've got the answer, please send it to because

1557
01:25:01,640 --> 01:25:03,600
Speaker 1: nobody's got it. I don't think to this point, and

1558
01:25:03,680 --> 01:25:05,759
Speaker 1: I think Philly is a good example of this, Steve.

1559
01:25:06,560 --> 01:25:10,960
Speaker 1: They made a concerted effort to neutralize Travis Kelsey last week.

1560
01:25:11,040 --> 01:25:14,360
Speaker 1: He finishes with four cashes for twenty three yards. That's great,

1561
01:25:14,680 --> 01:25:17,519
Speaker 1: got half the job done. Problem is Tyreek Hill went

1562
01:25:17,600 --> 01:25:21,320
Speaker 1: for eleven and one eighty six and three touchdowns. It's

1563
01:25:21,439 --> 01:25:25,639
Speaker 1: very hard to stop both of them in the same game. Well,

1564
01:25:25,720 --> 01:25:29,400
Speaker 1: that's hit if you're gonna stop, and you gotta hope

1565
01:25:29,400 --> 01:25:31,120
Speaker 1: one of them twists an ankle, you know, I mean,

1566
01:25:31,960 --> 01:25:34,160
Speaker 1: because then you might have a chance at the other one.

1567
01:25:35,000 --> 01:25:37,840
Speaker 1: They are so good and they've, let's face it, the

1568
01:25:37,920 --> 01:25:41,559
Speaker 1: Chiefs have seen teams try to defend them for four

1569
01:25:41,640 --> 01:25:45,000
Speaker 1: years now. You know, with Kelsey and Hill on the

1570
01:25:45,080 --> 01:25:48,519
Speaker 1: field at the same time, teams have tried everything, and

1571
01:25:48,880 --> 01:25:51,519
Speaker 1: it is so easy for the Chiefs to go from

1572
01:25:51,560 --> 01:25:53,800
Speaker 1: one to the other in a heartbeat. And then you

1573
01:25:53,880 --> 01:25:57,200
Speaker 1: got me Cole Hardman, who's a great changeup, Clyde Edwards,

1574
01:25:57,280 --> 01:25:59,519
Speaker 1: Hilaire who you know, who can throw him the ball

1575
01:25:59,640 --> 01:26:03,040
Speaker 1: or give the ball. They're just so deep and talented,

1576
01:26:03,120 --> 01:26:05,760
Speaker 1: and it starts with Hill and Kelsey, no question about it.

1577
01:26:06,920 --> 01:26:11,640
Speaker 1: There is no formula for beating those guys. You got

1578
01:26:11,720 --> 01:26:13,800
Speaker 1: to make plays at one and you got to do

1579
01:26:13,840 --> 01:26:17,479
Speaker 1: it one at a time, for seventy five offensive plays

1580
01:26:17,560 --> 01:26:21,120
Speaker 1: or sixty offensive plays during a game. You got to

1581
01:26:21,120 --> 01:26:23,280
Speaker 1: do it every game, every play, and you got to

1582
01:26:23,320 --> 01:26:25,080
Speaker 1: hope that you can make a play against one of them.

1583
01:26:26,479 --> 01:26:28,559
Speaker 1: And you got to do it a bunch because they're

1584
01:26:28,600 --> 01:26:32,040
Speaker 1: gonna keep getting opportunities. And you know, every time those

1585
01:26:32,320 --> 01:26:34,160
Speaker 1: two guys are on the field together, the build the

1586
01:26:34,600 --> 01:26:37,920
Speaker 1: Chiefs have a chance to score touchdown because that's how

1587
01:26:38,080 --> 01:26:41,200
Speaker 1: explosive they are. That's why they're so difficult to beat. Yeah,

1588
01:26:41,720 --> 01:26:43,280
Speaker 1: all right, I'll do it one play at a time.

1589
01:26:43,600 --> 01:26:45,200
Speaker 1: We have to take a break here, but when we

1590
01:26:45,360 --> 01:26:50,040
Speaker 1: come back, we'll answer this question, Who's covering Kelsey if

1591
01:26:50,160 --> 01:26:52,680
Speaker 1: Milano can't go? We had great go sell touch on it.

1592
01:26:52,720 --> 01:26:55,120
Speaker 1: Steve and I will elaborate when we return to close

1593
01:26:55,160 --> 01:26:57,360
Speaker 1: things up next on One Bill's Live, presented by Kalid

1594
01:26:57,360 --> 01:27:09,880
Speaker 1: to Health, It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right, So dipping

1595
01:27:09,920 --> 01:27:11,880
Speaker 1: into the mail bag again here, as we he teased

1596
01:27:11,920 --> 01:27:15,959
Speaker 1: before the break from Andrea, who's covering Kelsey if Milano

1597
01:27:16,120 --> 01:27:20,599
Speaker 1: can't go? Go? We've seen the Bills deploy a number

1598
01:27:21,040 --> 01:27:24,240
Speaker 1: of defensive players against Kelsey in the past. I've seen

1599
01:27:24,280 --> 01:27:28,799
Speaker 1: Trudavious White on Travis Kelsey, seen Jordan Poyer on Travis Kelsey.

1600
01:27:28,840 --> 01:27:31,559
Speaker 1: I've seen Micah Hyde on Travis Kelsey. I've seen Tremaine

1601
01:27:31,640 --> 01:27:36,400
Speaker 1: Edmonds on Travis Kelsey. They've thrown just about everybody they

1602
01:27:36,479 --> 01:27:41,519
Speaker 1: can at him with different degrees of success. Who do

1603
01:27:41,600 --> 01:27:44,080
Speaker 1: you think draws the assignment most of the time if

1604
01:27:44,320 --> 01:27:48,519
Speaker 1: Mlano can't play Sunday? Well, I get what she's asking,

1605
01:27:48,760 --> 01:27:50,560
Speaker 1: But the simple fact of the matter is it's the

1606
01:27:50,680 --> 01:27:54,559
Speaker 1: same answer that if you ask who's covering Tyree Hill,

1607
01:27:54,920 --> 01:27:58,479
Speaker 1: the answer is everybody. You know, everybody's gonna get a

1608
01:27:58,479 --> 01:28:00,639
Speaker 1: shot at him. Everybody's gonna be doing it either by

1609
01:28:00,680 --> 01:28:04,519
Speaker 1: themselves or together with another group with another guy. They'll

1610
01:28:04,560 --> 01:28:07,080
Speaker 1: double team him, they'll triple team him. Sometimes they'll bracket him.

1611
01:28:07,080 --> 01:28:10,760
Speaker 1: They'll do everything they can against him. Everybody's tasked with

1612
01:28:10,960 --> 01:28:15,880
Speaker 1: the with the job of covering Kelsey and Tyreek Hill

1613
01:28:16,000 --> 01:28:19,040
Speaker 1: and Mikole Hardman and Clyde Edwards, and everybody's gonna get

1614
01:28:19,040 --> 01:28:21,120
Speaker 1: a shot at it. It's gonna happen. That's the way

1615
01:28:21,200 --> 01:28:24,479
Speaker 1: the league works, depending on what defense is called. You know,

1616
01:28:24,560 --> 01:28:28,280
Speaker 1: it's gonna be Edmonds. It's gonna be Klein, it's gonna

1617
01:28:28,320 --> 01:28:33,639
Speaker 1: be Tredavious, it's gonna be you know, Poyer, Hobbay, Levi.

1618
01:28:33,920 --> 01:28:36,080
Speaker 1: Everybody's gonna get a shot once in a while of

1619
01:28:36,240 --> 01:28:41,240
Speaker 1: covering Kelsey. Okay, the question is can they fool Mahomes

1620
01:28:41,280 --> 01:28:44,080
Speaker 1: into thinking he's covered more often than he actually is.

1621
01:28:44,320 --> 01:28:47,759
Speaker 1: Twenty seconds from Dave, will a Bill's win quiet the critics?

1622
01:28:47,840 --> 01:28:50,200
Speaker 1: Or will Casey still be the team to beat after

1623
01:28:50,360 --> 01:28:53,559
Speaker 1: Sunday fifteen seconds? What do you say now, if if

1624
01:28:53,600 --> 01:28:56,600
Speaker 1: the Bills beat Kansas City, the Bills go right to

1625
01:28:56,680 --> 01:28:59,000
Speaker 1: the top and they become Kansy. What Kansas City has

1626
01:28:59,040 --> 01:29:00,880
Speaker 1: been over the last two years, three years, There you go.

1627
01:29:01,040 --> 01:29:04,040
Speaker 1: There's your answer, you three. I couldn't agree more. Steve,

1628
01:29:04,160 --> 01:29:06,519
Speaker 1: Safe travels to you on your way back to the below.
