Speaker 3: Perfect, Yeah, that's my wheelhouse.

16
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 2: You just didn't want it to end. That's that's what

17
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 2: it was. You didn't want twenty twenty four to end.

18
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 3: I did listen. I did tell Brownie today, brought it

19
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 3: to his attention. I always remind him these days like this,

20
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 3: we're sitting here getting ready for the show. It's like

21
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 3: the game is meaningless. Josh probably ain't gonna play Cookie MICSA.

22
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 3: He's got yeah play for about three seconds, right and

23
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 3: you know, so all this stuff's going games meaningless. We'll wait,

24
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 3: come on, we don't even know who we're gonna play

25
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 3: on wild Card weekend yet. So it's like and I

26
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 3: was like, you know, though, it beats doing the show

27
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 3: in May and June. Come on, we had fun in man,

28
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 3: with the building's vague, we think about the draft class.

29
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 3: That's right, we haven't even loads coming. I couldn't pick

30
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 3: the draft class out of a lineup, and yet here

31
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 3: we go, right, So no, this is these are the

32
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 3: days we wait for. Oh yeah, man, come on, we

33
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 3: are were the division champs again.

34
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 2: Steve likes to say we're neck deep in a we are.

35
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 3: Yes, we are all about it. So yeah, I'm let's

36
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 3: go man. I'm I can put in a few days

37
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 3: of hard labor waiting for the meaningless Patriots and they're gonna,

38
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:22,399
Speaker 3: they're gonna, They're gonna sit Drake May it's looking that way. Yes,

39
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 3: does Robert Craft pick up the phone and say, hey, uh,

40
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 3: girod if you win this game, pack your stuff up.

41
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 3: You're done.

42
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 2: We have the number one to Robert Kraft. But that

43
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 2: frand look, I'm telling you, they get that number one pick,

44
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:42,079
Speaker 2: they could do some day.

45
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 3: That's true.

46
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 2: If your Robert Kraft is now, you trade that for

47
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 2: multiple ones, probably two ones this year and probably another

48
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 2: one in the next year.

49
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 3: This is one of those Elliot.

50
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 2: Wolf is drafting right, and you've got player development on

51
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 2: your staff.

52
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 3: We've all heard of no win situations where that's the

53
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 3: Patriots this week. You don't want to win the game.

54
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 3: If you win the game, you lose. If you win

55
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:06,959
Speaker 3: the game, they lose.

56
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 2: They get the top pick in the draft.

57
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,119
Speaker 3: And if they win, what do they get nothing? They

58
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 3: lose the top pick.

59
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 4: Of the draft.

60
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 2: It's lovely property.

61
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 3: If that's I mean, that's a no win situation, right

62
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 3: for a team with not enough wins.

63
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 2: I mean, at least they have the franchise quarterback. You

64
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 2: could have the first pick in the draft and not

65
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 2: need a quarterback. That's a good thing. Yeah, and then

66
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 2: you can trade it to somebody who does. You can

67
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:31,959
Speaker 2: get a boat with King's ransom. You can get a

68
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 2: boatload of stuff with that. Yeah, you trade that pick

69
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 2: the Buffalo Bills. Why would you want, you know, get

70
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 2: a pass rusher or something.

71
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 3: You know, get a guy like Mike Evers Micah Parsons

72
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 3: in the draft.

73
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 2: They've been taking a single look.

74
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 3: I haven't either. I don't. I'm pretty sure the draft's

75
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 3: gonna happen, but.

76
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 2: I don't have any idea win or whatever that usually

77
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 2: ramps up in early February. I mean, and hopefully we

78
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 2: will have no reason to look at that until Bills.

79
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 3: Aren't going to pick Shude or Sanders or Tyler Hunter.

80
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 3: Cam Ward, yeah, Cam cam Ward whatever. But Travis Hunter,

81
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 3: Travis Hunter, I'm so you're mixing him up with Tyler Dude, quarterback.

82
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 3: I have no idea what I'm talking about today.

83
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 2: So you're okay, all right? I got a little worried

84
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:17,799
Speaker 2: about you.

85
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 3: I can't sleep at night because I got this thing

86
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 3: that monitors my sleep.

87
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 2: Oh, no, one of your Christmas. That's the problem. Before

88
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 2: nobody gave a hoot about you. Now you're over monitored.

89
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 2: I'm to the point where even you care about yourself

90
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 2: how you are sleeping.

91
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,840
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna go that far, but I do wake

92
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 3: up like every ten minutes wondering how I'm sleeping.

93
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,840
Speaker 2: Right, So Steve's got this ring that monitors his every move,

94
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 2: his heart rate, his blood pressure.

95
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 3: How much time is takes a nap? Yeah, I'll tell you, Hey,

96
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 3: time you know, I'll move around all that stuff. It's

97
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 3: got a lot of it's kind of you know, it's

98
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 3: all bark. It's all visual for me because I don't read,

99
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 3: You're right. So it's you know, charts and wrists, charts

100
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 3: and graft. It's like it's user friendly, right, it's for dummies. Like, wait,

101
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 3: don't give me a chapter of it. It's right my wheelhouse.

102
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 3: So you get up in the morning, you pick your

103
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 3: phone up and you hit the app, and the thing

104
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 3: goes up and it downloads all the data from the

105
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 3: thing around your fingers and it's like, Steve, you were dead.

106
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 3: It tells me, right, you woke up sixty seven times? Right, No,

107
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 3: I didn't. I've never done that. But you got this

108
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 3: much rim sleep, this much deep sleeping this much. You

109
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:30,840
Speaker 3: were awake this many times, and you data at your

110
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 3: heart rate fluctuated this much the whole thing. Right, I'm

111
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 3: not that far into it. I'm like, let's just about

112
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,040

00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 3: It datifies it, you know. But and it's fun, it's

120
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 3: kind of cool, and it does give you like it is.

121
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:09,640

131
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:32,840
Speaker 2: There are times I'm staring at the ceiling for an

132
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 2: hour right after the overnight pitched up.

133
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I right, and if and then two if

134
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 3: you're like after the game the other day we do

135
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 3: post game, I go home. I have a couple of

136
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 3: buddies over, we watch the night game. You have a

137
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:50,359
Speaker 3: couple of pops, and I sleep like a like like

138
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 3: somebody's bothering me all the time, Like I can't sleep

139
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 3: because you have a couple of pops and you don't

140
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 3: sleep as well. I kind of you think, you know.

141
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, alcohol is it depressing? You would think you would

142
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 2: sleep better, and.

143
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 3: I'm depressed to sleep well after I drink. So anyway,

144
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 3: so you do that and it's you wake up and

145
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 3: it's like basically for me, right now, it's just confirmation.

146
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 3: Now I will say this. It says it's going to

147
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 3: take a couple of weeks to learn you, right, because

148
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 3: it's all this AI stuff, right, and so it'll you know,

149
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 3: in two weeks. It's kind of like, Okay, here you go, brow,

00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 3: Get this thing. My wife and I give them these gifts.

157
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 3: You know when you're when you're our age, you do this.

158
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 3: We're giving each other this for our Christmas present. I say, okay,

159
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 3: gu's fine. So she's got one. I got one. Then

160
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 3: they give you this kit where you got to put

161
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 3: the ring on you pick you gotta wear it twenty

162
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 3: four to seven unless you're charging it or whatever. So

163
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 3: you're putting on and you pick which finger won't bother

164
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 3: you the most surprising?

165
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 2: This is your finger. Yeah, that is surprising. That's a

166
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 2: finger you use a lot to do stuff.

167
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 3: Absolutely, you know, I've kind of had to watch it

168
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 3: because when I can rub your face, the ring bothers it,

169
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 3: like scrapes me. So I got to now I've had.

170
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 3: It's altered my life already because now I don't get

171
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 3: that I rubbed my eyes the same way.

172
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 2: Does it count that too, how many times you've rubbed

173
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 2: your face?

174
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 3: It might?

175
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, it might.

176
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 3: So that's yeah. So there's That was my Christmas gift

177
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 3: this year, and it's uh, here's so interesting?

178
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:33,839
Speaker 2: Does it? Does it monitor like how much you may

179
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 2: have climbed in elevation through the course of the distance

180
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 2: you traveled, Like you traveled this far, you also traveled

181
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 2: an elevation of two hundred and seventy feet through your phone?

182
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 2: Does that your phone?

183
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 5: Oh?

184
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, your phone does that?

185
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 3: I don't It might, yeah, because let me tell you

186
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 3: some I would think it should. The app itself is

187
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,319
Speaker 3: it gives It's like most things these days gives you

188
00:08:56,440 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 3: dreams of information. Yeah, that you're like, like, what what

189
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 3: does it? Yeah? Why do I need to know that?

190
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 3: What's this? What it telled me? My heart fluctuation? Like

191
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 3: how like how far and how much it fluctuates? I

192
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 3: don't know whether that's good or bad?

193
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 2: So then do you go back and say, what the

194
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 2: heck was I doing there during that spike? Eh?

195
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 3: I don't look out of that close? Yeah, I'm like, Eh,

196
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 3: what do I care? I know? Because I oh, yeah,

197
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 3: I was walking up to get coffee.

198
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 2: Right, two flights I walked.

199
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 3: I walked twenty steps. But yeah, so been fun. But

200
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 3: we'll see. I I don't need right now. I know

201
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 3: when I don't sleep bad because I feel it.

202
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, junk sleep as we call it.

203
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 3: We'll see, we'll see. How do we get onto this?

204
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 3: We're in the weeds. We gotta climb, we're out of

205
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 3: I gotta get out of the weeds. But there we are,

206
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,839
Speaker 3: so here. Yeah, it's how did we get on this? Jay?

207
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 3: How'd we get on this subject?

208
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 2: He doesn't know, he's not even listening.

209
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 6: I know.

210
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 2: We uh, we will go and help you pull yourself

211
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 2: out of the weeds, all right? By letting everyone know

212
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 2: today that the PEPSI Football Relationship hotline is open. You

213
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 2: have football viewing priorities this time of year, but there

214
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 2: are other things that get in the way, for example,

215
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 2: a New Year's Eve party. Perhaps maybe you want to

216
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:17,320
Speaker 2: be glued to tonight's Penn State Boise State game. College

217
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 2: football playoff. Yeah, some issues, some social gathering is compromising

218
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 2: your interest in watching the game.

219
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 3: This people may realize this and kind of get it,

220
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:34,199
Speaker 3: but I am light years away from the college football playoff.

221
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think there was a lot of criticism

222
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 2: for the lopsided nature of the first round games. I

223
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 2: think they will be better this round.

224
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:43,439
Speaker 3: It's college football, at least I hope.

225
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 2: They'll be better this round because now you're getting down

226
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 2: to what are arguably, you know, your top eight and

227
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 2: or six or whatever however many are left. And yeah,

228
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 2: see I'm not paying that much ten any there.

229
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 3: Is this like, this is the first game of the

230
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 3: second round. Yes, and it's a it's on a Tuesday.

231
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 2: Yeah. Oh, actually are they playing Friday? They might be

232
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 2: playing Friday. They might not even No, wait, they are

233
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 2: playing because there are teams playing New Year's Day too.

234
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 2: I know George is playing tomorrow, so yeah, I believe

235
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 2: that's correct.

236
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 3: I am.

237
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 2: I'm so sorry, an official soft drink of the Buffalo Bill.

238
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 2: So you have any issues, you give us a call.

239
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 2: Eight oh three oh five point fifty one eighty eight

240
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 2: five fifty two, five point fifty. You have questions, Steve

241
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 2: and I have answers as to how to solve your

242
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 2: football viewing priorities when life work or social gatherings that

243
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 2: they're abound to be plenty of tonight getting the way.

244
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 2: So we've got we've got thoughts for you, solutions for you.

245
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 2: That's our public service every week here on one Bill's

246
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 2: Live the Football Relationship Hotline, So fire away if you've

247
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 2: got some problems coming up tonight or any other time

248
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 2: with regard to things getting in the way or your

249
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 2: football priorities. We do not have practice updates because the

250
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 2: Bills have not hit the practice field yet, but we'll

251
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 2: just call this a practice. This update presented by Lee

252
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 2: Commier League Heary College of Osteopathic Medicine. Because coach McDermott

253
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 2: did address the media yesterday and concerning playing time for

254
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 2: Sunday's game against the Patriots, he said it's going to

255
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 2: essentially be a blend of starters and reserves playing varying

256
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,959
Speaker 2: amounts of time in the game. Obviously, you can only

257
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 2: dress forty eight of your fifty three players and practice

258
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 2: squad guys too, so you can't sit everybody and just say,

259
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 2: you know, we'll see a wild card weekend. And maybe

260
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 2: the most interesting thing that coach McDermott said yesterday was

261
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:38,719
Speaker 2: that Josh Allen is going to start the game due

262
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 2: to the fact that it's very important to him to

263
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 2: maintain his consecutive start streak. He wants to be out

264
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 2: there with his teammates, so they will give him probably

265
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 2: two or three snaps first series and then say, okay,

266
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 2: go put a baseball hat on and put the ear

267
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 2: piece in.

268
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 3: You're done.

269
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I would imagine that would be the case

270
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 2: for some other players too. The team is relatively healthy

271
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 2: going into week eighteen, so what that affords the Bills

272
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 2: is the opportunity to healthy scratch. Maybe some veteran players

273
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 2: like Marii Cooper, who we're looking at right now on

274
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 2: our MSG viewers are might just say, hey, look, veteran player,

275
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,079
Speaker 2: you know what's going on. Sit this one out. We're

276
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 2: gonna play some younger guys and do it that way,

277
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 2: like I expect Keon Coleman to play on Sunday, Yeah,

278
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 2: I would expect.

279
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 3: I don't know if you play well, you know they

280
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 3: Here's the thing that and we've been saying it all week.

281
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 3: It sounds great to rest all these guys. You don't

282
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 3: have room who you're gonna sit and who you're gonna

283
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 3: play in their place?

284
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 2: There's not enough guys and that, and that brings up

285
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:46,319
Speaker 2: the other topic of discussion, which is people say, oh, well,

286
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 2: just call up some guys from the practice squad.

287
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 3: Well they can't.

288
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,679
Speaker 2: I've been keeping track of practice squad call ups all

289
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 2: season long for this very moment, Steve, you're a Garner

290
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 2: and here we are. Tyrrell Shavers been called up the

291
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 2: maximum of three times, so too as receiver Jalen Virgil

292
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,559
Speaker 2: and tight end Zach Davidson. All three of them have

293
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,560
Speaker 2: been called up three times. If they call them up again,

294
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,679
Speaker 2: they have to be put on the fifty three man

295
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 2: roster by rule, and the Bills don't want to do that.

296
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 3: But if they call somebody up, aren't they on the

297
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 3: fifty three for that week anyway?

298
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 2: No, they are simply a practice squad elevation eligible to

299
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 2: be on the active game day roster, then right after

300
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 2: the game is played, they revert back to the practice squad.

301
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 2: If you do that a fourth time, for any one player,

302
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 2: they must be put on the fifty three man roster.

303
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 2: And the difference there is if you move them off

304
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 2: the roster after the game, they're subject to waiver claims.

305
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 2: So if you don't want to lose the player, you

306
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 2: don't elevate them again. Not to mention the fact that

307
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 2: you have to have somebody off your fifty three man

308
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 2: roster to bring them on.

309
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 3: Here's the thing too, If you do that in week eighteen,

310
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 3: everybody's done anyway, the and.

311
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 2: Right, but you still got to move somebody off your

312
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 2: fifty three That's right.

313
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 3: That's the that's the issue. You got to say goodbye

314
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 3: to somebody. It's not about because here's the thing. If

315
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 3: you're a player and you got activated four times, and

316
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 3: you and you're here in your neck deep in the

317
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 3: Bills season, you know you you've invested your entire year

318
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 3: into this, if not, if not more Shaver has been

319
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 3: here three years, right, So yeah, you get waived, the

320
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 3: season's over for twenty four or do the man eighteen teams?

321
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 2: So twelve teams or no, it's fourteen teams.

322
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 3: So are those eighteen teams gonna are one of the

323
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 3: eighteen teams gonna pick you up now? And if they do,

324
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 3: you're just gonna say no, I don't want to know.

325
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 2: I'm busy, Right, Probably I got a check and see

326
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 2: if things reset in the postseason, where you know, all right,

327
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 2: the regular season has gone eighteen weeks, Well, you have

328
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 2: your three call ups. Now we're in the postseason. I

329
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 2: would think there would be a reset there. But I'm

330
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 2: gonna have to look at that.

331
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 3: Well, I would think given what I've experienced in the NFL,

332
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 3: I would say, yeah, probably does reset because nobody wants

333
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 3: to go through what the Niners went through last year

334
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 3: at their quarterback. They want to have as many guys

335
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 3: available to finish the season with a chance of the

336
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 3: Super Bowl as they can. So I think the league

337
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 3: would give the teams in the playoffs free reign to

338
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 3: use all seventy guys thereabouts in their building. Right, you

339
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 3: would think.

340
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 2: Yes, because you got those sixteen guys grinding for you

341
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 2: on the practice in the postseason anyway.

342
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 3: Still run scouts and like I said last year, and

343
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 3: if you have an injury. The Niners are on their

344
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 3: fourth quarterback last year. Yeah, so nobody in the league

345
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 3: wants that to happen in an NFC championship or AFC

346
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 3: championship game, Conference championship game, division round, even wild card.

347
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 3: They don't, you know. They want these teams to be

348
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 3: as good as they can be if they're going to

349
00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 3: take a shot at the Super Bowl. So I would

350
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 3: think they would take the binders off in all those

351
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 3: that when the playoffs start. But I don't know.

352
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 2: We'll have to see. I'll look into it a chance

353
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 2: here second, see if we can get an answer.

354
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 3: Well, las Korlowski, maybe he knows.

355
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 2: But Tyrell Shavers, Jalen Virgil, Zach Davidson have all had

356
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 2: three call ups, so they're not going to get called

357
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 2: up this week, right Mike White has two, Lewis Seen

358
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:27,120
Speaker 2: has two, Kareem Jackson has too, Elianku has two. He's

359
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 2: no longer on the practice squad he's gone. Frank or

360
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:34,400
Speaker 2: Junior has one, Kingsley Jonathan one, Richard Garage one. Will

361
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:38,199
Speaker 2: clap one so you can see Richard Garage and will clap.

362
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 2: You know, one of those guys could get called up

363
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 2: if there's a lineman you want to sit conceivably, Yeah,

364
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:49,920
Speaker 2: kJ Hamler has one and Cameron Klein one. So those

365
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 2: are your practice squad call ups, maximum of three before

366
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 2: you have to put him on your fifty three man roster.

367
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, if you look back at all the

368
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 3: guys I mean to Corey Couches down on the practice squad.

369
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 3: You got some guys. Mike Edwards is down there, yeah,

370
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,399
Speaker 3: a lineman. Yeah. So they've got guys they can bring up.

371
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,920
Speaker 3: But you still have there's no room. You still only

372
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 3: have fifty you bring all you bring ten guys up.

373
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 3: You don't have any place to put the ten guys.

374
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 3: You're you're sitting down for the game. You only have fit.

375
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:21,640
Speaker 3: You don't sit fit ten down, you sit down six right,

376
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:27,160
Speaker 3: mm hmm. So that's that's the problem. If you're gonna

377
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:30,359
Speaker 3: if you're gonna suit up James Cook and and to

378
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 3: get him twenty six yards and Josh Allen to give

379
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 3: him one play or three player or whatever it is

380
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 3: or one series, they have to stand. That's now you're

381
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 3: down to forty four guys on the roster because they

382
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,199
Speaker 3: are not playing again. Right, you know what I mean?

383
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 3: You get the point. I mean it shrinks pretty fast.

384
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it does.

385
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 3: It's it's just I don't know. I mean, it's it's

386
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 3: the topic of the day from a lot of people

387
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 3: and around the league. But it's it, and it seems

388
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 3: like it's kind of important because you don't want to

389
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 3: compromise a chance at the big thing, right. Well, yes,

390
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 3: that's why it seems so important. But when push comes

391
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:13,199
Speaker 3: to shove in a game like this, if they have

392
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:16,360
Speaker 3: to play Josh Allen in this game, will they will

393
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 3: run it every single snap. They will run it every

394
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 3: or he'll kneel down. Seriously. And the guy who's gonna

395
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:28,119
Speaker 3: take the biggest, richest risk of the day is Sam Martin.

396
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 3: He actually does have to punt.

397
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Tyler Bass has to kick and kick off,

398
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 2: kick it out of bounce, don't let anybody. Yeah whatever,

399
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 2: let's go around. The NFL presented by Kalida Healthy, official

400
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 2: healthcare system of the Buffalo Bills and the Detroit Lions

401
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,160
Speaker 2: improved the fourteen and two on the season with their

402
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,400
Speaker 2: forty to thirty four win over the forty nine ers

403
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 2: turned into a barn burner. Lions posted their fifth game

404
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 2: with forty points or more and no turnovers. This season,

405
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 2: go'ording to a number of ways too, including a hook

406
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:06,679
Speaker 2: and lateral that saw Jamison Williams round the corner and

407
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:10,880
Speaker 2: get into the end zone. So they don't mind doing

408
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,879
Speaker 2: the trickery. They have faith that their players are going

409
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 2: to be able to execute it. Jami Or Gibbs one

410
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:18,639
Speaker 2: hundred and seventeen rushing yards and a touchdown on just

411
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,399
Speaker 2: eighteen carries, Jared Goff twenty six to thirty four for

412
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 2: three hundred three yards and three touchdowns. They are a machine.

413
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 2: There's the hook and lateral our MSG viewers are watching now.

414
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:35,360
Speaker 3: I gotta say, I think that's the next I think

415
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 3: that is the next l of evolutionary step and offenses

416
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 3: in the NFL. They're going to start utilizing that hook

417
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 3: and lateral more as a planned play. The evolution has

418
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 3: taken it now where you got guys like Lamar Jackson

419
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 3: and Josh Allen and the quarterbacks that can extend the play,

420
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,640
Speaker 3: and you've got positionless wide receiver groups and tight ends

421
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 3: that are meshing together and running backs. You can split

422
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 3: them out, you can bring them in. You can you

423
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 3: can run the ball out of light people, you can

424
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:10,679
Speaker 3: throw the ball out of heavy people. I think the

425
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 3: next evolution is that ball handling, like we've talked about

426
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 3: that hook and lateral deliberately planned. I mean, that's you know,

427
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 3: I just think that's the next.

428
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 2: Just another it's just misdirection at the second level rather

429
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 2: than behind the line.

430
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 3: You've got a lot of space, and certainly there's a lot.

431
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 2: More space than you do with the line.

432
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,360
Speaker 3: There's a lot of bad things that can happen, but

433
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 3: that's you know, if you do it and you practice

434
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,160
Speaker 3: it and you're good at it, less bad things happen,

435
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:40,399
Speaker 3: and it opens the gates for a lot of really

436
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,919
Speaker 3: really you know, big plays.

437
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 2: The uh Patriots did make a roster transaction today, releasing

438
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 2: veteran pass rusher Yannick and Gokway today. New England had

439
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 2: just picked him up off waivers from Baltimore last month.

440
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,440
Speaker 2: Played in five games for the Patriots, no sacks, two

441
00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:00,879
Speaker 2: quarterback hits. You previously had one and a half sacks,

442
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 2: five quarterback hits in five games with Baltimore when he

443
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:07,719
Speaker 2: got picked up mid season. Baltimore wasn't happy with their

444
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 2: pass rush store it thought he could be a shot

445
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:11,879
Speaker 2: in the arm for them. He really wasn't. They released

446
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:13,959
Speaker 2: him picked up off waivers by the Patriots and now

447
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:17,640
Speaker 2: released by the Patriots only twenty nine only twenty nine

448
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 2: years old.

449
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:20,640
Speaker 3: Something's in there.

450
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:23,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's played on a lot of teams. He's I

451
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 2: think he's probably played five six teams by now. This

452
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,159
Speaker 2: one was interesting, so he wanted to bring it to

453
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 2: your attention. Cleveland Mayor Justin Bibb sent a letter to

454
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 2: the Browns saying that the city intends to enforce the

455
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 2: Model Law, which gives the city or its local residents

456
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:44,639
Speaker 2: the opportunity to purchase the team before it can leave

457
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:50,920
Speaker 2: to play in another location. Brown's owner Jimmy Haslam said

458
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 2: they have a desire to move the team to a

459
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 2: proposed dome stadium in the suburb of brook Park. Bibb

460
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 2: and Cuyahoga County Executive Chris Ronane oppose the move and

461
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:07,360
Speaker 2: have said they will not contribute taxpayer money to make

462
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 2: it happen. Bibbs letter comes a little more than two

463
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 2: months after the Browns filed a lawsuit against the city

464
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:18,120
Speaker 2: over the Modell Law provision. And this is named after

465
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 2: Art Modell, who moved to Cleveland, Browns to Baltimore, becoming

466
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 2: the Ravens. So the Modell law states that no Ohio

467
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 2: professional sports team owner playing in a tax supported stadium

468
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 2: can go elsewhere without having an agreement with the city

469
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 2: where it plays, or unless that city is given six

470
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:45,640
Speaker 2: months advanced notice with an opportunity to buy the team.

471
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 2: The city is given the opportunity or its team or

472
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 2: its residents. Now I just looked it up. There are

473
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 2: three hundred and fifty six thousand people in Cleveland proper

474
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 2: as residents, buy my calculations, and based on CNBC's September

475
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,680
Speaker 2: valuation of the Browns at six billion, by now, it's

476
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 2: probably closer to six and a half billion. So that

477
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:16,680
Speaker 2: means to raise the money, each resident of Cleveland, Ohio

478
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 2: specifically would need to come up with twenty thousand dollars

479
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,440
Speaker 2: apiece to get to six and a half billion. Well here,

480
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:26,879
Speaker 2: or or get some private investors, or.

481
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 3: Or there happens to be somebody in Cleveland worth well

482
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 3: right that kind of money. I'm a citizen of Cleveland.

483
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:38,920
Speaker 2: Drew carry, I'm in right, Drew Carry of the prices.

484
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 3: Whoever it is, like rock Star, like you know, Ted

485
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 3: NuGen or somebody who buys the team and says, yeah,

486
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 3: I got the money, I'll buy I'm a citizen of Cleveland.

487
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:56,159
Speaker 3: I'll buy it, right. And here's the problem, the League,

488
00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 3: the City of Cleveland. It would never happen because the

489
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,919
Speaker 3: League has to vet the new owners, and the legals say, what,

490
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:06,880
Speaker 3: you don't pass our vetting process.

491
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:11,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean there's an all I know all. I

492
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 2: think we can say for certain there will be lawyers.

493
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 3: Well there already are, but yes.

494
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 2: There'll be more.

495
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 3: Yeah. And here's the thing. And they're moving to a

496
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 3: Somebody say what you want. They're not moving out of Cleveland.

497
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 3: It's a Cleveland.

498
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 2: They're moving to a Cleveland.

499
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 3: They're just moving down the road. So there's that.

500
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:34,160
Speaker 2: I think they're staying within Cuyahoga County. I think maybe

501
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 2: like they're not even moving over the county line here.

502
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:41,159
Speaker 3: They just want to get off the waterfront.

503
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 2: They want a new stadium. Well I get that, and

504
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:47,120
Speaker 2: it's going to be a domed stadium.

505
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:50,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, but even now they're fighting against that because they

506
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 3: don't want to That sounds see that reeks of politics

507
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 3: to me, that that does not reek of any good sense.

508
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 3: They're just they're moving to a better stadium out what

509
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 3: just because you're now you don't have any sway over

510
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 3: the Browns because they're outside emits now American, they can

511
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 3: tell the mayor to shut.

512
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 2: Up being outside the city limits. I would imagine that

513
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:13,400
Speaker 2: also removes them from the city's tax rolls. So that's

514
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 2: the other thing.

515
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 3: Well, and that's not enough, you want them to stay. Yeah,

516
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 3: I mean that's you know, that's the lever. Both both

517
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 3: sides have leverage. This, This model law is the real

518
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 3: thing though. Yeah, that's gonna be.

519
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 2: That's I'm curious to see how enforceable it is though

520
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:30,360
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, you know what I mean, Yeah, I.

521
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 3: Mean I get it. But the fact that it's there,

522
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 3: there's there for a reason.

523
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:35,160
Speaker 2: Well, I understand why they put it.

524
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:38,439
Speaker 3: There for a reason, but I mean it's not is

525
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 3: it is It like a sign, you know, but you

526
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 3: can ignore, like no parking, Not that I would ignore,

527
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:48,720
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, Yeah, like no smoking on

528
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:50,479
Speaker 3: the boardwalk or something.

529
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's interesting because in one paragraph it

530
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:58,639
Speaker 2: calls it the model Law, which gives the city or

531
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 2: local residence the opportunity to purchase the team before it

532
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 2: can leave to play in another location from city proper Cleveland.

533
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 2: Then later it's called the Model Law Provision so I mean,

534
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 2: it's still a law, but.

535
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 3: It's a provision in the law that's specific to that

536
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:16,159
Speaker 3: whether they're talking about yeah, weird.

537
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:20,399
Speaker 2: I was unaware that it existed. Listen, I know, And

538
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:22,719
Speaker 2: why would you unless you Luffalo knows. I mean, we're

539
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 2: fresh in the middle of building new stadium. So there's

540
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 2: a ton of legal hoops and stuff that you got

541
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:30,359
Speaker 2: to go through. You can imagine this. It's the largest

542
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,879
Speaker 2: construction project ever in the city of Buffalo or in

543
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 2: the County of Eres. Yeah, so you know what kind

544
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 2: of project it is, and all the irons in the

545
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 2: fire you've got. Buffalo knows firsthand.

546
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:46,119
Speaker 3: So you can imagine Cleveland just getting started on this,

547
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 3: trying to get a new stadium. Although the stadium had

548
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 3: it was new in nineteen ninety five.

549
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 2: Ninety got the team back that might even be after that.

550
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:59,880
Speaker 3: So it's twenty five years old. Twenty five, yeah, not fifty.

551
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:06,239
Speaker 3: Why they need a new stadium like right away? Then

552
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 3: get out of that just it ups the value of

553
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 3: the franchise, I would imagine, Yeah, a little anyway.

554
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 2: That's above my pay gred.

555
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 3: I thought Cleveland Stadium was good. I'm a nice I'm

556
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 3: a nice stadium. It's tough to get to a little bit.

557
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:20,879
Speaker 3: The parking is a little bit of a problem. The

558
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:23,919
Speaker 3: lake makes it a little constricted, and the I ninety

559
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 3: going four hundred feet away from it. Yes, actually a plus,

560
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:28,640
Speaker 3: isn't it. Yeah.

561
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:30,439
Speaker 2: I mean, if you're coming from out of town, like

562
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:32,679
Speaker 2: if you're a Bills fan going to a Bill's Browns game.

563
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:34,880
Speaker 3: In Cleveland, drive straight there on the ninety three.

564
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 2: And a half hours are there maybe even less? You know,

565
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 2: downtown hotel prices aren't crazy there.

566
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 3: Well, we haven't heard the last of it, but I'll

567
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 3: say this, I bet you that they get to put

568
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 3: that stadium wherever they want at the end of it.

569
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean they already have a planned site or

570
00:28:53,920 --> 00:29:00,120
Speaker 2: at least a viable site, right, So, yeah, there are

571
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 2: going to be lawyers for sure. We also have a

572
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:04,840

Speaker 7: Hi, guys, thanks for taking my call.

595
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 8: Uh.

596
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 7: Interesting observation I saw pregame was Brandon being talking to

597
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 7: DeVante Adams wondering what Adam's status. I'm assuming he was

598
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 7: on a one year deal with the Jets and possibly uh,

599
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 7: you know, Brandon maybe asking have a few months to

600
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 7: come play with a winning team. I don't know if

601
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 7: you guys cut that or anybody else saw that.

602
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 2: Did not see that, you know, I don't know. I mean,

603
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 2: you gotta look, I think, to even consider him, you

604
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 2: got to look at his contrary. He was traded. He

605
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 2: was not signed by the Jets. He was traded to

606
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 2: the Jets from the Raiders. So I mean, I can.

607
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 3: Well, I'll say this, it's it's an NFL GM's job

608
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 3: to know things like that. And I don't know that

609
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 3: it's even legal for him to talk like that to

610
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 3: Davante Adams other than just saying hello and all that.

611
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 3: I have no idea what the rules are pertaining to that,

612
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 3: but if it's if it's legal, If it's legal, then yeah, yeah.

613
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:37,960
Speaker 2: I mean the Jets can get out of the contract

614
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,520
Speaker 2: for only an eight point three million dollar dead cap hit,

615
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:45,960
Speaker 2: so that's palatable for them, especially knowing in twenty twenty

616
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 2: five and twenty twenty six he's supposed to have a

617
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 2: base salary of thirty five million dollars, So I would

618
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 2: imagine they pull the ripcord there and take the eight

619
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 2: point three million dollar cap hit Jets are going to

620
00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 2: be in cap jail for a while. With all the

621
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 2: contents they inherited like this one, along with the ones

622
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 2: that they added void years too to push money into

623
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 2: the future. They're gonna pay. So I could he be

624
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 2: out there on the market. Yes, Do you want a

625
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 2: guy that's gonna turn thirty three next year in your

626
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 2: receiving corps? I mean, I guess DeVante Adams still he's

627
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 2: still a viable player in the league. I'm not going

628
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:30,960
Speaker 2: to debate that. But age thirty three season, I'm not sure. No,

629
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:33,480
Speaker 2: not sure. I mean, he's got an offense that's the

630
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 2: highest scoring offense in team history. I don't know that

631
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 2: you need him.

632
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's a good player, no question. He's probably gonna

633
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 3: find a place Lamb. But he's gonna command a big

634
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 3: salary because of who he is and what he has

635
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 3: done in the NFL, and he's probably one of as

636
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 3: long of a term as he can get. The Bills

637
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:52,960
Speaker 3: would sign him to I don't know, one of those,

638
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 3: maybe a two year deal. I would think you're not

639
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 3: going to sign the guy with three year only be

640
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 3: thirty six at the end of it. There's no way.

641
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 3: So I'm I'm no, I don't think Davante Adams is

642
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 3: a viable option for Buffalo, particularly given his current status

643
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 3: as being a Jet uh and the numbers that would

644
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 3: come with him, and the fact that they have done

645
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 3: more with less this year and all these guys they've

646
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 3: got on the roster now playing for on rookie deals

647
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 3: some of them. So, yeah, I like this crew. I

648
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 3: don't know if I like this crew any better with

649
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 3: Davante in it. Who you gonna who's gonna kick to

650
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 3: the curb? Mac Hollins, I don't know, And no, I'm so,

651
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 3: I'm yeah, I'm yeah. Maybe he's probably kicking the tires.

652
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 3: But they're not gonna sign him to the kind of

653
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 3: deal other teams would do, would sign him to, and

654
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 3: at this point of his career, Davante is is dumb

655
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 3: not to take the money.

656
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 2: Right, You're assuming the Jets hold on to him. I

657
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 2: don't know that they were, or.

658
00:33:57,320 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 3: The Jets cut him and somebody else signs him, right,

659
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 3: like somebody like like like the Arizona Cardinals going you

660
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 3: know with yeah, with Martin Harrison Junior on a rookie

661
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 3: contract and come in, get two years out of Davante

662
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:11,880
Speaker 3: with Kyler, and he gives you that extra weapon and

663
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 3: extra credibility on you know, all that stuff. A team

664
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:18,840
Speaker 3: like that, yeah, gonna pay that and and yeah, the

665
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 3: Cardinals are in that kind of Yeah.

666
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 2: I think that's a good assessment. Uh, let's go to

667
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 2: Tom on the west side. Next. We got first toime.

668
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 9: Have a New Year's Eve, guys.

669
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 2: You as well.

670
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:38,080
Speaker 9: Listen. It's the same thing I've complained about all season.

671
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:42,759
Speaker 9: It's the run defense. Now we're probably gonna if we

672
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 9: get past the wild coward round, which I assume. So

673
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:49,960
Speaker 9: I'm looking at and we got to face Derrick Henry.

674
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 9: So I'm wondering if we threw and Reason in there,

675
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:56,839
Speaker 9: if he could make a difference, because the kids are

676
00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 9: tackling machine.

677
00:34:58,520 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 10: Now.

678
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:01,920
Speaker 9: I don't know how good he do against Derrick Henry either,

679
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:06,360
Speaker 9: because he's a big boy. I mean, I'll never forget

680
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:15,839
Speaker 9: when he wants that our defense of back yeah Josh, yeah, yeah, Norman, Yeah,

681
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:21,239
Speaker 9: he wants him into the air. So I mean, I

682
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:25,879
Speaker 9: think and Reason could make a difference. Yeah, I think, yeah,

683
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:27,200
Speaker 9: talking about Williams.

684
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 2: But right, yeah, I get what you're saying. Tom. It's

685
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:35,959
Speaker 2: interesting that you mentioned run defense. We realize that that's

686
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 2: been the prevailing concern year over year for Buffalo's defense

687
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 2: based on how things have gone in the playoffs. People

688
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 2: still remember Joe Mixon running wild against them in the

689
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 2: divisional playoff in twenty twenty three, and you know, they

690
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:52,840
Speaker 2: remember last year. You know, Isaiah Pacheco getting rushing yards,

691
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:55,799
Speaker 2: and I get all of that. I'm gonna say this,

692
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:58,440
Speaker 2: I think the Bills have actually improved their run defense

693
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:01,839
Speaker 2: as the season has worn on, and right now they're

694
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:04,200
Speaker 2: a middle of the pack run defense. They're thirteenth in

695
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:08,279
Speaker 2: the league in run defense. The issue comes in the

696
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:11,839
Speaker 2: yards per carry average, where they rank twenty fifth. As

697
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:14,399
Speaker 2: a matter of fact, right now, they're giving up four

698
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:17,880
Speaker 2: point seven yards per carry. That's a fat number, and

699
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:20,400
Speaker 2: it's a big reason why they have trouble getting off

700
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:23,480
Speaker 2: the field on third down, because it's usually manageable down

701
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 2: in distance when an opponent gets a third down. Because

702
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:28,319
Speaker 2: of the rushing success they've had against the Bills on

703
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 2: first and second down, I'm not saying every team goes run,

704
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 2: run pass. I'm just saying to generalize here, that's been

705
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 2: a sticking point. But I think they have done some

706
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:42,840
Speaker 2: things to try to shore up the run defense. And

707
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 2: I'll get to some other numbers. I've even mentioned one

708
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:46,920
Speaker 2: of them to Steve that I'm concerned about. But we'll

709
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:48,799
Speaker 2: get to that. Knowing we got people waiting on hold

710
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:51,359
Speaker 2: here a little bit later on in the show, let's

711
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:53,320
Speaker 2: go to Keith in Collins next. What do you got for?

712
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 2: Is Keith.

713
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:59,600
Speaker 11: Brownie? You probably Steve, you might know who as well.

714
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:04,759
Speaker 11: I'm not sure how the MVP process works. To these

715
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 11: reporters or fifty sports reporters just put a name on

716
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:12,360
Speaker 11: a piece of paper and mail it in, or they

717
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 11: sit around a table and talk about it, how exactly

718
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:16,440
Speaker 11: it's individual.

719
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 3: They put it in independently of each other.

720
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:22,400
Speaker 2: They do mail it in, and there are fifty, so

721
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 2: you're right about that. And the votes are sent in

722
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 2: after the regular season ends and before the playoffs begin,

723
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:33,719
Speaker 2: and then it's not announced until the weekend of the

724
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:37,440
Speaker 2: Super Bowl, so all the votes will be in before

725
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:42,040
Speaker 2: the playoffs begin. And that's designed obviously to make sure

726
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 2: voters are voting on what has been done in the

727
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 2: regular season. It's a regular season award, and then they

728
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:52,239
Speaker 2: announce who won the weekend of the Super Bowl. Now

729
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 2: they do also, if I remember right, they do have first, second,

730
00:37:57,200 --> 00:38:02,239
Speaker 2: and third place votes because those all counts the total three.

731
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 2: They put it like, I vote Josh Allen first, Lamar

732
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:09,879
Speaker 2: Jackson second, Saquon Barkley third, right, and the players get

733
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:12,760
Speaker 2: a certain number of points for those votes.

734
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:15,319
Speaker 3: Whatever that is. Yeah, yeah, so that's yes, that's how

735
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:15,760
Speaker 3: it works.

736
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:18,280
Speaker 2: So hopefully that helps you.

737
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:20,160
Speaker 3: You'll probably it'll be leaked.

738
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:21,799
Speaker 2: Oh you think so?

739
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:23,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, it's the world we live in.

740
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 2: Uh, let's go to Ruth in Orchard Park next. What's up, Ruth?

741
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:33,480
Speaker 12: I just had a quick MVP stat question. The Powers

742
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:38,280
Speaker 12: to Be discussed this. Do they consider how much time

743
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:41,880
Speaker 12: Josh Allen has sat out of the game due to

744
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:45,720
Speaker 12: the score being lopsided, and if he were to stay

745
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:49,440
Speaker 12: in those games, how much bigger his stats, how much

746
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:53,080
Speaker 12: higher his stats would be? And why don't they discuss

747
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 12: that on air?

748
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:58,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a good point, Ruth. It's a valid point because,

749
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:01,719
Speaker 2: as we know, the Bills have been up in about

750
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:05,160
Speaker 2: a handful to half a dozen games where Josh is

751
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:07,680
Speaker 2: on the sidelines come the fourth quarter wearing a baseball

752
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 2: hat and has probably got fewer snaps on the field

753
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 2: than Lamar Jackson because of it, For example, Lamar is

754
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:19,120
Speaker 2: gonna play this week for the Ravens. They want to

755
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 2: win the division, so he'll be playing. Josh is gonna

756
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 2: get a series.

757
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:25,440
Speaker 3: Of has to play this week because they lost a

758
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:26,560
Speaker 3: bunch of games this year.

759
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, so he'll be playing and getting more snaps again

760
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:35,440
Speaker 2: this week, and it'll probably I think I heard somebody

761
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:38,240
Speaker 2: say it's gonna be about one hundred snap difference between

762
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 2: the two of those just going into this weekend's game

763
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:41,400
Speaker 2: right more after.

764
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:43,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, there might, I mean there was, there hadn't been

765
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 3: that many games. Maybe the win in Miami.

766
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:50,400
Speaker 2: Jacksonville game, Jacksonville game, Tennessee game, the Tennessee game, and

767
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:53,879
Speaker 2: then there was the the Niners game, which I don't

768
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:57,000
Speaker 2: think he came out of, and last week's game, Sunday's game.

769
00:39:57,239 --> 00:40:01,360
Speaker 3: This last game. So there's like four that he probably

770
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 3: came out early, not just that he didn't miss a

771
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 3: ton of time. Although this the Jets gaming did I

772
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:12,439
Speaker 3: don't know. I yes, they do. All those guys see

773
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:15,560
Speaker 3: that they're professional writers, they cover the sport, they talk

774
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 3: about such things. They don't talk about it on the

775
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 3: air because sometimes I'll say why they don't talk about it?

776
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:24,080
Speaker 3: Because sometimes it helps their argument, and sometimes it does not.

777
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:27,360
Speaker 3: Sometimes it doesn't when you're talking about Josh.

778
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:30,560
Speaker 2: To Ruth's point, though, Steve, I don't know if the

779
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:32,919
Speaker 2: guy that covers the Seattle Seahawks is one hundred percent

780
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:35,840
Speaker 2: aware that Josh Allen has set out the fourth quarter

781
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:39,480
Speaker 2: of four or five games and his stats are lesser. Yeah,

782
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 2: yeah because of it.

783
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:40,640
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah.

784
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:42,399
Speaker 2: And I don't even know if they care. I don't

785
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:43,759
Speaker 2: even know if everybody cares about that.

786
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:47,200
Speaker 3: Yes, every guy weighs the criterion his own in his

787
00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:50,520
Speaker 3: own way. So but yes, if anybody's doing if the

788
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:53,640
Speaker 3: fifty writers who cover the NFL are doing their jobs,

789
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:56,280
Speaker 3: which they are because they've been doing it for a while,

790
00:40:57,280 --> 00:41:01,480
Speaker 3: they have had multiple conversations in moultiple years about all

791
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:03,319
Speaker 3: of the stuff that we talk about here in the

792
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:06,279
Speaker 3: years where we got a guy who's in the conversation.

793
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:07,239
Speaker 2: In terms of what the criteria is.

794
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, in terms of the criterion, what you have to consider.

795
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 3: So they know all this stuff. So yes, they may

796
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:14,399
Speaker 3: not do it on the air. But like I said,

797
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:16,720
Speaker 3: and there's always guys who don't have votes, like Brownie

798
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:19,120
Speaker 3: and I we don't have votes, but they talk about

799
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:21,880
Speaker 3: that stuff and if it bolsters the conversation for the

800
00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:24,720
Speaker 3: guy they're rooting for, they'll use it. If it doesn't,

801
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:27,800
Speaker 3: they won't. It's that simple. That's the way the world turns.

802
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:30,839
Speaker 3: So that's why you won't hear about those conversations about

803
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:32,879
Speaker 3: guys sitting down order because the guy's sitting down because

804
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 3: he's crushing people. That doesn't help them if they don't

805
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:36,400
Speaker 3: like the guy.

806
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:39,439
Speaker 2: Got to take a break here. But when we come back,

807
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:42,040
Speaker 2: bore your phone calls. We'll lead off with Rich in

Speaker 2: new high Mark Stadium. Chris Brown, Steve tasking with you

821
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:29,480
Speaker 2: here on a Tuesday edition on One Bill's Live, where

822
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:33,640
Speaker 2: we are asking you, what is your confidence in the

823
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:38,200
Speaker 2: Bill's defense after their dominant performance last week against the Jets.

824
00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 2: Back to the phones we go and to Rich in Lakeview.

825
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:42,239
Speaker 2: What do you have for us?

826
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:46,040
Speaker 6: Rich? Hey, good afternoon guys. Happy new year. Steve Oski Weeley,

827
00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:51,239
Speaker 6: longtime tiger Katy can take a holder here in Buffalo. Also, Hey, dude,

828
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:53,640
Speaker 6: love it, love it all the way back to Iverwin. Anyway,

829
00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:57,640
Speaker 6: what I'm worried about is Bill's defense because he talked

830
00:42:57,640 --> 00:43:01,319
Speaker 6: about that yards per carry. But being an older, old

831
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 6: guy and living on the lake, I look at the

832
00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:08,560
Speaker 6: long term playoff weather outlook for the United States, the

833
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 6: whole eastern halfy United States, and it looks like apocalyptic cold.

834
00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:16,400
Speaker 6: You played, I didn't play at your level. It's not

835
00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 6: fun to hit.

836
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:17,319
Speaker 13: Hit.

837
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:20,040
Speaker 6: It could be emotional in that. I don't know if

838
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:21,719
Speaker 6: that's going to help or hurt. I think if you

839
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:26,280
Speaker 6: play Herbert or maybe bow Necks. But the Bill seemed

840
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:28,680
Speaker 6: to do better on you know, with the run when

841
00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:31,000
Speaker 6: they knew that Jets had the pass. I know that sounds,

842
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:35,279
Speaker 6: you know, pretty you know, easy to figure that out,

843
00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:38,319
Speaker 6: But I'm worried about how much of our offense takes

844
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:41,240
Speaker 6: away because the NFL this year, last couple of years

845
00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:43,279
Speaker 6: looks like arena football now, where you have to score

846
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:46,240
Speaker 6: almost on every possession. And that's my biggest concern.

847
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:51,920
Speaker 2: All right, fair enough, I mean a dallid it is.

848
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:54,200
Speaker 3: And I'll say this too, I was noticing this this

849
00:43:54,640 --> 00:44:01,000
Speaker 3: this In this weekend's game, you had the Ravens, the Chargers,

850
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:08,719
Speaker 3: the Bengals, the Bills, the Colts, the Giants, the Eagles,

851
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:15,000
Speaker 3: the Buccaneers, the Commanders, and the Lions and the Niners.

852
00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:17,720
Speaker 3: All of those teams scored thirty plus points this week

853
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:25,680
Speaker 3: and the Lions, the Eagles, the Bucks, the Giants, the Bills,

854
00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:32,080
Speaker 3: the Chargers all scored forty. So there's a point where

855
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:35,799
Speaker 3: teams are starting to get it together on that side

856
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:39,480
Speaker 3: of the ball all over the league. And I mean

857
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:41,560
Speaker 3: that's you know, we've seen it coming for a long time,

858
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:45,120
Speaker 3: you know, for the first time, really there's a couple

859
00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:47,480
Speaker 3: of teams averaging thirty plus points a game, which is

860
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:51,120
Speaker 3: the Bills and the Lions. It's never been like that,

861
00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:56,040
Speaker 3: so You're right. It is turning into a little bit

862
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:58,880
Speaker 3: of Arena Football League stuff. That game last night in

863
00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:02,600
Speaker 3: San Francisco, it was a pinball machine. It was just

864
00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:07,640
Speaker 3: they were ringing it up. What that means for run

865
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:11,640
Speaker 3: defense being and how important it's gonna be. Well, let's

866
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:13,920
Speaker 3: remind ourselves. I mean, you're gonna you got a good

867
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:17,080
Speaker 3: chance of facing the Baltimore Ravens. They run the ball,

868
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:21,120
Speaker 3: that's their thing. You gotta be ready for it. You're

869
00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:25,359
Speaker 3: not gonna get a break because of the weather, you know,

870
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:28,040
Speaker 3: and teams are you know what I mean, You're gonna

871
00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:29,879
Speaker 3: have to You're gonna have to defend the run.

872
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:32,560
Speaker 2: And to Steve's point from earlier in the season, after

873
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:35,279
Speaker 2: the twenty five point loss to the Ravens, if you

874
00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:36,879
Speaker 2: see that team again, you're gonna have to do something

875
00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:39,520
Speaker 2: unconventional to force you throw the ball.

876
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:41,839
Speaker 3: And I'll say this too, Lamar has led that was

877
00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:43,759
Speaker 3: for a minute, was leading the league in passing, so

878
00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:45,799
Speaker 3: they were getting it done through the ground and the air.

879
00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:48,000
Speaker 3: But I think teams were saying, listen, if you're gonna

880
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:50,600
Speaker 3: beat us, you're gonna do it throwing the football. And

881
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:53,400
Speaker 3: Lamar was leading the league in passing. But let's not

882
00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:56,360
Speaker 3: forget the reason he was leading the league in passing

883
00:45:56,400 --> 00:45:58,279
Speaker 3: is because teams were saying, you are not gonna beat

884
00:45:58,360 --> 00:45:59,359
Speaker 3: us by running.

885
00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:00,960
Speaker 2: The football, saying coverage on the back.

886
00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:06,520
Speaker 3: Between weeks eight through eleven, they were weeks eight through thirteen,

887
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:09,520
Speaker 3: they were three and three. They were three and three

888
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:11,200
Speaker 3: during that stretch because teams are like, all right, you

889
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:12,680
Speaker 3: can do that, but you ain't gonna you ain't gonna

890
00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:15,319
Speaker 3: beat us throwing the football, all right, running the football. Right,

891
00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:23,560
Speaker 3: So the Steelers, Chargers, Eagles, Broncos, Bengals, and Browns found

892
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:27,840
Speaker 3: a way to beat Baltimore. And during that stretch of

893
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:29,840
Speaker 3: the season, Lamar was lighting it up on the scoreboard

894
00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:31,799
Speaker 3: with his arm. But they weren't, you know, they were

895
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:34,359
Speaker 3: losing games. That's the thing. They're like a little bit

896
00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:38,200
Speaker 3: like the Bengals, right, So you kind of got to

897
00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:40,880
Speaker 3: pick your medicine, no question about pick your poison, however,

898
00:46:41,600 --> 00:46:46,640
Speaker 3: against the Baltimore Ravens. But I agree with you that

899
00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:49,880
Speaker 3: the league is evolving, and particularly here late in the season,

900
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:52,640
Speaker 3: and the Bills are one of them. These teams are

901
00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:54,480
Speaker 3: getting their ducks in a row offensively.

902
00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:58,799
Speaker 2: Let's go to Ryan and eerie Pa pull him up

903
00:46:58,800 --> 00:46:59,799
Speaker 2: next year. What do you got for us?

904
00:46:59,840 --> 00:46:59,960
Speaker 11: Ryan?

905
00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:03,200
Speaker 14: Hey, guys said, that's take him a call.

906
00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:04,120
Speaker 4: Sure, Happy New Year.

907
00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:04,480
Speaker 3: Happy.

908
00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:09,919
Speaker 14: So I have a question about Kyrielum. I've been hearing

909
00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:13,120
Speaker 14: for a while they say that he's an often healthy

910
00:47:13,120 --> 00:47:16,200
Speaker 14: scratch because he doesn't play special teams. More so, I

911
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:18,279
Speaker 14: gets for you, Steve, how hard is that for him

912
00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:19,880
Speaker 14: to learn because he's been with us for a while.

913
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:22,319
Speaker 14: But I don't know if that's something that they don't

914
00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:24,160
Speaker 14: think he can or don't want him to try to

915
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:26,480
Speaker 14: focus on. But like if he was able to do that,

916
00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:28,359
Speaker 14: then he could play it and like be it back

917
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:30,560
Speaker 14: and like be the backup in case like Rasul gets

918
00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:32,760
Speaker 14: hurt or just you know, can't play again.

919
00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:35,480
Speaker 2: He has it. First of all, he hasn't been an

920
00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:38,640
Speaker 2: active the whole season. It's been more frequent here at

921
00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:40,439
Speaker 2: the end of the regular season.

922
00:47:40,280 --> 00:47:41,200
Speaker 3: Because of the injuries.

923
00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:44,480
Speaker 2: But I know I'm saying he was inactive for a

924
00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:47,719
Speaker 2: stretch there before those injuries cropped up. But early in

925
00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:50,080
Speaker 2: the season he was not inactive every week, and he

926
00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:52,279
Speaker 2: was playing on special teams. He is used as a

927
00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:56,040
Speaker 2: gunner at times, so he has played special teams. Now

928
00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:57,040
Speaker 2: take it from there.

929
00:47:57,120 --> 00:48:00,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, it comes down to some design to do it.

930
00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:02,759
Speaker 3: Maybe he's he'll do it, but he's doesn't. You know,

931
00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:06,239
Speaker 3: he's not good. I'm doing to work whatever, but he

932
00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:09,000
Speaker 3: also not. It's not just about playing special teams and

933
00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:11,120
Speaker 3: having a desire to do it. You also have to

934
00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:14,200
Speaker 3: play well. And there might be guys on the roster

935
00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:17,560
Speaker 3: that are that are just better at playing steam or

936
00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:21,360
Speaker 3: or they play a role on special teams that is

937
00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:23,560
Speaker 3: different than the one Kyer plays and they need the

938
00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:26,839
Speaker 3: one those guys play more than they need Kyer's role. Uh,

939
00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:28,399
Speaker 3: that could be as big as an issue.

940
00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:32,000
Speaker 2: An example of that is Brandon coy Drington. Codrington is

941
00:48:32,040 --> 00:48:35,240
Speaker 2: the designated return man for this team on kickoffs and punts,

942
00:48:35,560 --> 00:48:38,960
Speaker 2: and he also plays cornerback, so he's got more value

943
00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:42,719
Speaker 2: than Kyrie Elam does as a backup corner right right,

944
00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:45,160
Speaker 2: That's exactly what Steve is talking about. That's right.

945
00:48:45,239 --> 00:48:48,960
Speaker 3: So that's if you're and here's the thing too, you

946
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:52,520
Speaker 3: gotta because some teams make deliberate decisions like this in

947
00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:54,920
Speaker 3: the preseason, like nah, and the head coaches say nah,

948
00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:58,240
Speaker 3: or they do special teams coordinator will say I need

949
00:48:58,280 --> 00:49:01,040
Speaker 3: my return guy to be an offensive player, because I

950
00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:04,120
Speaker 3: don't want to use a corner a spot on defense

951
00:49:04,239 --> 00:49:05,839
Speaker 3: up for a special teams guy.

952
00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:08,120
Speaker 2: I mean, people like that nature. People think Kayer has

953
00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:10,400
Speaker 2: been in active every week. He's played in twelve games.

954
00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:13,480
Speaker 2: He's played in twelve of the sixteen games. Yeah, so

955
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:16,840
Speaker 2: he has not been inactive every week. So I just

956
00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:18,160
Speaker 2: want to make sure that that's understood.

957
00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:20,520
Speaker 3: Those are some of the maybe new I've we covered

958
00:49:20,560 --> 00:49:24,800
Speaker 3: them all. Those are the nuances of why the special

959
00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:27,040
Speaker 3: teams thing is a consideration and why it might not

960
00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:29,800
Speaker 3: go in his favor every so often.

961
00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:34,920
Speaker 2: Right, we're up against the break here, so we've got

962
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:36,799
Speaker 2: to step aside. We will take more of your phone

963
00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:38,719
Speaker 2: calls a little bit later on the show because coming

964
00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:41,480
Speaker 2: up next to our weekly visit with dan Orlofsky will

965
00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:44,839
Speaker 2: get his thoughts on Bill's jets and how the team

966
00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:48,920
Speaker 2: looked there, particularly on defense, and then the outlook not

967
00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:52,560
Speaker 2: only for this week's Week eighteen game, but the wild

968
00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:55,560
Speaker 2: card week ahead and potential opponents. We'll catch up with

969
00:49:55,600 --> 00:49:59,120
Speaker 2: dan Orlopski next here on One Bill's Live Stay with Us.

970
00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:47,279
Speaker 1: This is One Bill's Live presented by Calida Health.

971
00:50:47,880 --> 00:50:49,960
Speaker 2: Alright, hour number two on a Tuesday, and you know

972
00:50:49,960 --> 00:50:51,800
Speaker 2: what that means. We're going to be joined by ESPN

973
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:54,680
Speaker 2: NFL analyst Dan or Lobski, whose appearances on One Bills

974
00:50:54,719 --> 00:50:58,160
Speaker 2: Live are presented by Caesar's Sportsbook, an official mobile sports

975

Speaker 2: betting partner of the buff Bills. Happy New Year, Dan,

976
00:51:01,840 --> 00:51:06,560
Speaker 2: and as we begin here, yes, not a whole lot

977
00:51:06,640 --> 00:51:09,520
Speaker 2: sexy about Bill's Patriots this week. The game means nothing

978
00:51:09,560 --> 00:51:11,960
Speaker 2: for the Bills. It might actually mean more for the

979
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:14,120
Speaker 2: Patriots in terms of who they decide to roll out.

980
00:51:14,200 --> 00:51:17,920
Speaker 2: You sit in Drake May, you're playing Joe Milton. But

981
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:21,160
Speaker 2: in the grand scheme of things here, what can the

982
00:51:21,239 --> 00:51:25,880
Speaker 2: Bills maybe tidy up or sharpen up even without the

983
00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:28,839
Speaker 2: full complement of their starters in the game, to keep

984
00:51:28,880 --> 00:51:32,600
Speaker 2: themselves ready, so to speak for wild Card weekend?

985
00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:37,359
Speaker 4: Now, Chris, I don't want to lie to you. I don't.

986
00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:39,440
Speaker 4: I just don't believe that there's a ton Yeah, I

987
00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:40,520
Speaker 4: think that that you.

988
00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:44,720
Speaker 13: This is something that has you know, we've talked about

989
00:51:44,719 --> 00:51:46,879
Speaker 13: for a couple of weeks. Was the I guess the

990
00:51:46,960 --> 00:51:50,480
Speaker 13: ideal situation once the number one seed no longer was

991
00:51:50,520 --> 00:51:53,120
Speaker 13: in play, was getting to this point as an organization

992
00:51:53,360 --> 00:51:56,040
Speaker 13: saying Okay, the guys that have the knicks. I mean,

993
00:51:56,080 --> 00:51:58,800
Speaker 13: you can only said so many guys. There's that reality.

994
00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:01,719
Speaker 13: So the guys that had the knicks, they're able to

995
00:52:01,760 --> 00:52:05,239
Speaker 13: sit and get healthy, and guys that have a lot

996
00:52:05,280 --> 00:52:07,880
Speaker 13: of wear and tear on their bodies, they're able to

997
00:52:07,880 --> 00:52:10,799
Speaker 13: sit and get healthy. And there's the opportunity for some

998
00:52:10,840 --> 00:52:14,000
Speaker 13: of the younger players to get reps. I'd say Cole

999
00:52:14,040 --> 00:52:16,320
Speaker 13: Bishop probably is a player that comes to mind that

1000
00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:19,799
Speaker 13: can really use some more live game reps, you know

1001
00:52:19,800 --> 00:52:23,040
Speaker 13: when it comes to just seeing situations and communication on

1002
00:52:23,080 --> 00:52:23,600
Speaker 13: the back end.

1003
00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:25,480
Speaker 4: But I really believe that this is.

1004
00:52:25,520 --> 00:52:29,319
Speaker 13: A a week where you start to prepare for the

1005
00:52:29,360 --> 00:52:33,360
Speaker 13: potential opponents and as much as you can as a

1006
00:52:33,480 --> 00:52:36,440
Speaker 13: as a staff and your players. It's kind of like

1007
00:52:36,520 --> 00:52:40,279
Speaker 13: that time in between the end of the preseason and

1008
00:52:40,320 --> 00:52:43,600
Speaker 13: the start of the regular season. You're really just focused

1009
00:52:43,640 --> 00:52:45,839
Speaker 13: on staying as sharp as you can and trying to

1010
00:52:45,880 --> 00:52:48,319
Speaker 13: get you know, some are a key on Coleman, some

1011
00:52:48,440 --> 00:52:52,120
Speaker 13: reps that you know will be very meaningful into the playoffs.

1012
00:52:52,200 --> 00:52:54,919
Speaker 3: So you got and we had this conversation just before

1013
00:52:54,920 --> 00:52:57,160
Speaker 3: we went to break this last segment about how these

1014
00:52:57,200 --> 00:53:00,000
Speaker 3: teams are starting to get their ducks in a row offense.

1015
00:53:00,560 --> 00:53:03,040
Speaker 3: I named off a ton of teams. Well, it was

1016
00:53:03,239 --> 00:53:06,440
Speaker 3: the Chargers, it was the Bills, it was the Giants,

1017
00:53:06,520 --> 00:53:11,120
Speaker 3: it was the Buccaneers, the Eagles, the Lions. All those

1018
00:53:11,160 --> 00:53:14,720
Speaker 3: teams scored forty this last weekend. And then there's another

1019
00:53:14,840 --> 00:53:17,440
Speaker 3: five or six teams who scored thirty, and some of

1020
00:53:17,480 --> 00:53:21,560
Speaker 3: them in losses. What's that say about? You know this

1021
00:53:21,760 --> 00:53:24,120
Speaker 3: coming into the playoffs, And I get this too. I've

1022
00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:27,080
Speaker 3: always said some of the best games in the league

1023
00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:31,399
Speaker 3: are played on wild card weekend because you know, they

1024
00:53:31,560 --> 00:53:34,239
Speaker 3: sprint to the finish and that emotion carries into the

1025
00:53:34,239 --> 00:53:36,760
Speaker 3: preparation for the next week and they give their best

1026
00:53:36,760 --> 00:53:39,920
Speaker 3: effort on wild card weekend. Is that is that a

1027
00:53:39,960 --> 00:53:40,400
Speaker 3: thing to you?

1028
00:53:42,200 --> 00:53:42,319
Speaker 6: Well?

1029
00:53:42,360 --> 00:53:43,319
Speaker 4: I think it's a couple of things.

1030
00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:46,359
Speaker 13: Number One, the longer you play in the season and

1031
00:53:46,360 --> 00:53:49,560
Speaker 13: you're a playoff team, the more as a coach you

1032
00:53:49,680 --> 00:53:52,879
Speaker 13: understand what you're good at and what you're not good at,

1033
00:53:53,560 --> 00:53:55,640
Speaker 13: and you've figured that out, and so you start to

1034
00:53:56,000 --> 00:53:59,000
Speaker 13: and you know, during the season in September October, you know,

1035
00:53:59,040 --> 00:54:02,120
Speaker 13: if you're game playing is one hundred percent, you're still

1036
00:54:02,160 --> 00:54:05,200
Speaker 13: trying to figure out how much of that percentage is

1037
00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:08,879
Speaker 13: you know, an RPO game or a play action game,

1038
00:54:08,960 --> 00:54:11,560
Speaker 13: or a drop back game or a what types of

1039
00:54:11,640 --> 00:54:14,120
Speaker 13: runs you're actually good at executing that year? And as

1040
00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:16,520
Speaker 13: the season goes on, your game plan starts to go

1041
00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:19,720
Speaker 13: from one hundred percent question mark I guess, to ninety

1042
00:54:20,080 --> 00:54:22,040
Speaker 13: to eighty percent, and then it starts to flip and

1043
00:54:22,080 --> 00:54:24,759
Speaker 13: as you get into November December. So I think you

1044
00:54:24,920 --> 00:54:27,920
Speaker 13: have a much greater understanding as a coaching staff of

1045
00:54:27,960 --> 00:54:29,799
Speaker 13: who you are as a football team, the things that

1046
00:54:29,840 --> 00:54:31,719
Speaker 13: you're good at and the things that you're not good at.

1047
00:54:31,719 --> 00:54:34,480
Speaker 13: You obviously start to major much more in the things

1048
00:54:34,520 --> 00:54:36,560
Speaker 13: that you're good at and not good at. The second

1049
00:54:36,560 --> 00:54:39,040
Speaker 13: thing is who what your players are good at. You know,

1050
00:54:39,120 --> 00:54:42,640
Speaker 13: the specific roles and things that you want to get

1051
00:54:42,640 --> 00:54:44,239
Speaker 13: your guys to do or ask your guys to do,

1052
00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:46,040
Speaker 13: or put those in them in those situations.

1053
00:54:46,080 --> 00:54:47,600
Speaker 4: That grows as the season goes on.

1054
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:50,719
Speaker 13: The urgency at the end of the season, you know,

1055
00:54:50,760 --> 00:54:52,759
Speaker 13: when you are playing for the one seed or you're

1056
00:54:52,760 --> 00:54:56,759
Speaker 13: playing to secure the division title, you're playing to you know,

1057
00:54:56,840 --> 00:54:59,920
Speaker 13: get into the playoffs. That just that daily, daily urgency

1058
00:55:00,400 --> 00:55:04,080
Speaker 13: and that hyper focus in meetings and on the practice

1059
00:55:04,120 --> 00:55:07,320
Speaker 13: field all gets elevated and ramped up during the season

1060
00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:09,520
Speaker 13: and obviously into the back end of December, and that's

1061
00:55:09,560 --> 00:55:13,799
Speaker 13: why that wild card weekend you're often getting about as

1062
00:55:13,800 --> 00:55:16,480
Speaker 13: good a football as you're gonna get from basically everybody,

1063
00:55:16,600 --> 00:55:19,520
Speaker 13: and I don't want to say as healthy, but in

1064
00:55:19,600 --> 00:55:23,040
Speaker 13: many ways healthiest that you will get some teams just

1065
00:55:23,080 --> 00:55:26,280
Speaker 13: because of the opportunity that they may have Week eighteen,

1066
00:55:26,360 --> 00:55:30,000
Speaker 13: Buffalo not having to play anybody, So you know, it's

1067
00:55:30,560 --> 00:55:33,920
Speaker 13: it's gonna be a very fun obviously opening weekend of football,

1068
00:55:33,960 --> 00:55:35,000
Speaker 13: depending on the matchups.

1069
00:55:35,960 --> 00:55:38,040
Speaker 2: I know we often talk to you about offensive football,

1070
00:55:38,040 --> 00:55:40,200
Speaker 2: but I do want to discuss Bill's defense with you

1071
00:55:40,239 --> 00:55:42,759
Speaker 2: a little bit, because you know, there are fans that

1072
00:55:42,840 --> 00:55:46,080
Speaker 2: have their share of concerns about, you know, the consistency

1073
00:55:46,080 --> 00:55:47,040
Speaker 2: of the run defense.

1074
00:55:47,080 --> 00:55:47,279
Speaker 3: Here.

1075
00:55:47,320 --> 00:55:49,160
Speaker 2: We know the Bills are twenty fifth in yards per

1076
00:55:49,160 --> 00:55:53,680
Speaker 2: carry against four point seven. That's a fat number. And

1077
00:55:53,719 --> 00:55:57,560
Speaker 2: then even their past defense, while I think it's gotten better,

1078
00:55:58,080 --> 00:56:00,239
Speaker 2: it ranks twenty second in the league. And they can't

1079
00:56:00,239 --> 00:56:01,920
Speaker 2: get off the field on third down, as we know

1080
00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:05,400
Speaker 2: all season long, twenty ninth and third down defense. But

1081
00:56:05,480 --> 00:56:08,600
Speaker 2: what they do exceptionally well is take the football away,

1082
00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:11,239
Speaker 2: and it's been a gigantic equalizer for them. They're tied

1083
00:56:11,239 --> 00:56:14,319
Speaker 2: for the league lead in takeaways with thirty one, and

1084
00:56:14,320 --> 00:56:16,560
Speaker 2: they have the best turnover margin in the football because

1085
00:56:16,640 --> 00:56:19,360
Speaker 2: the offense has been responsible with it. I'm gonna just

1086
00:56:19,400 --> 00:56:21,399
Speaker 2: throw a couple other numbers here, seventh in the league,

1087
00:56:21,400 --> 00:56:24,279
Speaker 2: and tackles for loss sack total is good for tenth

1088
00:56:24,320 --> 00:56:27,080
Speaker 2: most in the league, and there are eleventh in quarterback pressures.

1089
00:56:27,320 --> 00:56:30,440
Speaker 2: How much does that group up front have to really

1090
00:56:30,560 --> 00:56:32,640
Speaker 2: put their foot on the gas here in the postseason.

1091
00:56:32,640 --> 00:56:35,600
Speaker 2: If this defense is to help them win games.

1092
00:56:37,160 --> 00:56:40,799
Speaker 13: It'll be the backbone of this run defensively, There's no

1093
00:56:40,960 --> 00:56:44,239
Speaker 13: question about it. I mean, we often talk about these

1094
00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:48,680
Speaker 13: playoff runs and we Chris, we talk about them in

1095
00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:51,720
Speaker 13: almost the solo silo.

1096
00:56:51,400 --> 00:56:53,320
Speaker 4: Focus of the quarterback performance.

1097
00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:56,400
Speaker 13: If you had to go through the AFC and you

1098
00:56:56,440 --> 00:56:59,640
Speaker 13: had to ask, if this team goes on that run

1099
00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:00,680
Speaker 13: and gets to.

1100
00:57:00,640 --> 00:57:02,880
Speaker 4: The Super Bowl wins the Super Bowl, who's.

1101
00:57:02,560 --> 00:57:06,680
Speaker 13: The guy that you think has that one month, best

1102
00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:09,600
Speaker 13: month of his career. You could very much so make

1103
00:57:09,640 --> 00:57:12,200
Speaker 13: the case it would be Greg Russo for Buffalo. You

1104
00:57:13,120 --> 00:57:15,600
Speaker 13: could absolutely say can he go on that run? You

1105
00:57:15,640 --> 00:57:18,840
Speaker 13: can say it for at Oliver as well. So I

1106
00:57:18,880 --> 00:57:21,280
Speaker 13: think that front is huge, the run defense.

1107
00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:23,600
Speaker 4: I don't want.

1108
00:57:23,480 --> 00:57:26,360
Speaker 13: To say that it's a concern matchups are going to

1109
00:57:26,440 --> 00:57:32,120
Speaker 13: be massive. I would say that, like matchup wise, a

1110
00:57:32,200 --> 00:57:33,920
Speaker 13: team that I wouldn't want to see if I were

1111
00:57:33,920 --> 00:57:37,560
Speaker 13: Buffalo would be the Chargers candidly opening weekend. And I

1112
00:57:37,600 --> 00:57:40,200
Speaker 13: don't know how the matchups could fall if if it

1113
00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:44,160
Speaker 13: could work that way or not, just because they never

1114
00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:49,800
Speaker 13: give up negative plays on offense. They're unbelievably efficient offensively,

1115
00:57:50,280 --> 00:57:53,920
Speaker 13: they don't give the ball away, they're unapologetic about the

1116
00:57:53,960 --> 00:57:55,080
Speaker 13: style that they play.

1117
00:57:55,800 --> 00:57:56,640
Speaker 4: That would be the.

1118
00:57:56,600 --> 00:57:58,560
Speaker 13: Team that you sit there and go, I mean, obviously

1119
00:57:58,640 --> 00:58:01,560
Speaker 13: everyone's very good. That would be the team just strength

1120
00:58:01,640 --> 00:58:05,040
Speaker 13: on strength, not exposing of the weakness. That would be

1121
00:58:05,080 --> 00:58:08,360
Speaker 13: the team that I would certainly have have reservations on.

1122
00:58:08,760 --> 00:58:09,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1123
00:58:09,120 --> 00:58:11,360
Speaker 2: Fortunately it can only be the five or the six

1124
00:58:11,840 --> 00:58:14,880
Speaker 2: the Chargers, so they would not meet Buffalo in round

1125
00:58:14,880 --> 00:58:16,240
Speaker 2: one anyway.

1126
00:58:17,320 --> 00:58:19,600
Speaker 4: That's a win. Yeah, that's a win.

1127
00:58:19,720 --> 00:58:25,120
Speaker 13: So you're talking about it would be Denver, Miami or Cincinnati.

1128
00:58:24,680 --> 00:58:25,760
Speaker 2: That's correct, correct?

1129
00:58:27,480 --> 00:58:30,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, you so like Denver, Miami Cincinnati.

1130
00:58:30,960 --> 00:58:34,160
Speaker 13: Obviously Cincinnati can get hot as hot as anybody Miami

1131
00:58:34,240 --> 00:58:38,680
Speaker 13: divisional opponent. Denver is an elite defensive unit when they're

1132
00:58:38,680 --> 00:58:42,160
Speaker 13: playing their best. But I would think that Buffalo would

1133
00:58:42,560 --> 00:58:47,600
Speaker 13: feel confident about no matter what the matchup, win in

1134
00:58:47,720 --> 00:58:50,880
Speaker 13: that game. And then obviously, you know, I just talked

1135
00:58:50,880 --> 00:58:54,880
Speaker 13: about the Chargers Pittsburgh. I think Buffalo matches up well

1136
00:58:54,920 --> 00:58:58,960
Speaker 13: with against Houston. I think Buffalo matches up with against

1137
00:58:59,480 --> 00:59:01,240
Speaker 13: Baltimore or is as good as.

1138
00:59:01,200 --> 00:59:03,520
Speaker 4: Anybody in the NFL when they play their games.

1139
00:59:03,560 --> 00:59:06,640
Speaker 13: So I do think that the run defense in that

1140
00:59:06,720 --> 00:59:08,920
Speaker 13: front is going to be really big to make sure

1141
00:59:08,960 --> 00:59:13,320
Speaker 13: that you know, teams aren't able to dictate defensively, you know,

1142
00:59:13,320 --> 00:59:14,480
Speaker 13: on a consistent basis.

1143
00:59:15,520 --> 00:59:17,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, when you get down to it, it's all about

1144
00:59:17,600 --> 00:59:20,120
Speaker 3: it is about matchups and plus, like you said, at

1145
00:59:20,120 --> 00:59:23,720
Speaker 3: this point of the season, you know exactly which matchups

1146
00:59:23,760 --> 00:59:26,760
Speaker 3: are catastrophic for you and also you know game winning

1147
00:59:26,840 --> 00:59:32,960
Speaker 3: for you. How how do you keep the catastrophic matchups

1148
00:59:32,960 --> 00:59:35,160
Speaker 3: from beating you? And how do you get the ones

1149
00:59:35,200 --> 00:59:38,040
Speaker 3: that you want, particularly when you know you're under the

1150
00:59:38,040 --> 00:59:41,520
Speaker 3: play clock you're gonna you know, how do you do

1151
00:59:41,560 --> 00:59:43,560
Speaker 3: that in game to the game play to play basis?

1152
00:59:45,440 --> 00:59:47,880
Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean I think that that there's the obviously

1153
00:59:47,960 --> 00:59:51,080
Speaker 13: philosophy is and this is an organization that in many

1154
00:59:51,120 --> 00:59:55,040
Speaker 13: ways believes that they are very confident and capable of

1155
00:59:55,080 --> 00:59:57,960
Speaker 13: doing the things that they do, that their their process

1156
00:59:58,000 --> 01:00:00,360
Speaker 13: has gotten them to this point. I think offense massively

1157
01:00:01,000 --> 01:00:04,440
Speaker 13: steve they match up well with basically any defense. We've

1158
01:00:04,560 --> 01:00:08,240
Speaker 13: watched this team offensively kind of do whatever it wanted

1159
01:00:08,280 --> 01:00:10,400
Speaker 13: for the great majority of the season outside of that

1160
01:00:10,560 --> 01:00:12,160
Speaker 13: Baltimore and Houston stretch.

1161
01:00:13,800 --> 01:00:16,520
Speaker 4: So I think that, you know, the focus point.

1162
01:00:16,600 --> 01:00:19,200
Speaker 13: If I would, you know, be in that meeting room

1163
01:00:19,240 --> 01:00:21,600
Speaker 13: with this team and Sean mcdernery, I would imagine that

1164
01:00:21,680 --> 01:00:25,720
Speaker 13: the focus point is, you know, being very clear with

1165
01:00:26,240 --> 01:00:30,680
Speaker 13: what's gotten them here, what habits, what daily routine, what

1166
01:00:30,880 --> 01:00:34,200
Speaker 13: process of football has gotten them to this point, and

1167
01:00:34,760 --> 01:00:40,560
Speaker 13: really hyper focusing and reaffirming these are the trade marks,

1168
01:00:40,600 --> 01:00:42,960
Speaker 13: the bench marks, the trades as a team, as a

1169
01:00:43,040 --> 01:00:45,600
Speaker 13: unit and then as a team that have gotten them

1170
01:00:45,960 --> 01:00:49,360
Speaker 13: to this point. And how can they even advance that?

1171
01:00:49,600 --> 01:00:52,360
Speaker 13: How can they be even more efficient on offense? How

1172
01:00:52,360 --> 01:00:55,360
Speaker 13: can they run the football even more consistently on offense?

1173
01:00:55,400 --> 01:00:56,000
Speaker 4: How can their.

1174
01:00:55,920 --> 01:00:59,240
Speaker 13: Yards after the catch be even better on offense? How

1175
01:00:59,240 --> 01:01:03,960
Speaker 13: can Josh even even a greater decision maker. Defensively, how

1176
01:01:04,000 --> 01:01:06,920
Speaker 13: can they shore up some of the run stuff with

1177
01:01:07,200 --> 01:01:10,160
Speaker 13: some of their gap integret on a consistent basis. How

1178
01:01:10,200 --> 01:01:12,840
Speaker 13: can they play the perimeter run a little bit better.

1179
01:01:13,200 --> 01:01:15,800
Speaker 13: How can they communicate defensively with maybe some of their

1180
01:01:15,880 --> 01:01:19,920
Speaker 13: disguises in rotation so it happens just a fraction of

1181
01:01:19,960 --> 01:01:23,000
Speaker 13: a second later. That's why I mentioned maybe Cole Bishop

1182
01:01:23,000 --> 01:01:25,240
Speaker 13: getting sometimes as well, because you just never know. So

1183
01:01:26,560 --> 01:01:30,080
Speaker 13: there's definitely things that habits and process wise that you

1184
01:01:30,160 --> 01:01:34,280
Speaker 13: can focus on to avoid a lot of the hiccups

1185
01:01:34,320 --> 01:01:36,400
Speaker 13: that sometimes happen to playoff football.

1186
01:01:38,080 --> 01:01:42,600
Speaker 2: Naturally, the league MVP conversation has persisted and will probably

1187
01:01:42,640 --> 01:01:45,360
Speaker 2: continue to persist until out until we get to Super

1188
01:01:45,360 --> 01:01:51,080
Speaker 2: Bowl weekend. The question for you, though, concerning Josh, what

1189
01:01:51,360 --> 01:01:55,680
Speaker 2: stands out maybe for you about this season for Josh

1190
01:01:55,720 --> 01:01:58,040
Speaker 2: as opposed to previous seasons when he was very much

1191
01:01:58,120 --> 01:01:59,120
Speaker 2: in contention.

1192
01:01:58,840 --> 01:02:05,840
Speaker 4: Before one, I think he's doing just as much with less.

1193
01:02:06,480 --> 01:02:10,480
Speaker 13: And then two obviously valuing the football at a significantly

1194
01:02:10,520 --> 01:02:14,000
Speaker 13: higher rate while also producing at the same rate. You

1195
01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:17,160
Speaker 13: know this is there's no question about it. He's had

1196
01:02:17,160 --> 01:02:20,480
Speaker 13: his best decision season as a decision maker. I think

1197
01:02:20,520 --> 01:02:23,160
Speaker 13: it's his been his most accurate season when it comes

1198
01:02:23,200 --> 01:02:26,440
Speaker 13: to throwing the football exactly where he wants to. I mean,

1199
01:02:26,480 --> 01:02:29,840
Speaker 13: you're watching the Amari Cooper touchdown. It's a great catch.

1200
01:02:29,920 --> 01:02:32,600
Speaker 13: It's also thrown the only place you can get thrown.

1201
01:02:33,240 --> 01:02:35,880
Speaker 13: The Keon touchdown when he throws it up to a

1202
01:02:36,160 --> 01:02:38,200
Speaker 13: you know, a spot and Keon goes and gets it.

1203
01:02:38,240 --> 01:02:39,840
Speaker 4: There's a little bit of luck involved in that.

1204
01:02:39,960 --> 01:02:41,920
Speaker 13: I could also go back to that slot fade by

1205
01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:44,880
Speaker 13: Keon that he throws to him. That's elite, imperfect, and

1206
01:02:44,920 --> 01:02:46,640
Speaker 13: it gets called back for a penalty. So I think

1207
01:02:46,640 --> 01:02:51,000
Speaker 13: it's the best ball placement season he's ever had. I'll

1208
01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:53,920
Speaker 13: share this with you guys. So I obviously stepped in

1209
01:02:53,960 --> 01:02:55,640
Speaker 13: a little bit of mud when I said, you know,

1210
01:02:55,680 --> 01:02:58,400
Speaker 13: an MVP voat is over, it's Josh's.

1211
01:02:59,720 --> 01:03:01,800
Speaker 4: And that was premature. I was caught up in the

1212
01:03:01,840 --> 01:03:02,400
Speaker 4: emotion of it.

1213
01:03:02,480 --> 01:03:04,520
Speaker 13: Everyone knows I'm a fan of Josh, just like I'm

1214
01:03:04,560 --> 01:03:07,080
Speaker 13: a fan of Patrick and Lamar and Joe and plenty

1215
01:03:07,080 --> 01:03:10,240
Speaker 13: of guys. But I was thinking about this exercise this morning.

1216
01:03:10,240 --> 01:03:12,760
Speaker 13: I'm gonna either share it on social media today or tomorrow.

1217
01:03:12,840 --> 01:03:16,360
Speaker 13: And this is not to knock anybody but if we

1218
01:03:16,440 --> 01:03:19,440
Speaker 13: took the teams that are in the AFC and NFC playoffs,

1219
01:03:20,120 --> 01:03:22,440
Speaker 13: and I'm putting Denver in right now as the seven,

1220
01:03:22,560 --> 01:03:25,600
Speaker 13: just assuming day win. If we took those seven teams

1221
01:03:26,000 --> 01:03:28,120
Speaker 13: and the AFC in sevent teams in the NFC, and

1222
01:03:28,160 --> 01:03:29,840
Speaker 13: you had to ask yourself.

1223
01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:31,880
Speaker 4: If you took the quarterback away from.

1224
01:03:31,840 --> 01:03:35,320
Speaker 13: The offense and you just had the ten other offensive

1225
01:03:35,320 --> 01:03:38,440
Speaker 13: guys in the scheme, the play caller, what offense do

1226
01:03:38,520 --> 01:03:41,720
Speaker 13: you fear the most in the playoffs and what offense

1227
01:03:41,800 --> 01:03:43,800
Speaker 13: do you fear the least in the playoffs?

1228
01:03:44,000 --> 01:03:45,040
Speaker 4: Okay, and if.

1229
01:03:44,920 --> 01:03:47,200
Speaker 13: You did that for both conferences, take the quarterback away,

1230
01:03:47,880 --> 01:03:50,080
Speaker 13: I would tell you. In the AFC, in my opinion,

1231
01:03:50,520 --> 01:03:53,440
Speaker 13: if you took the quarterback away, I would say Baltimore

1232
01:03:53,520 --> 01:03:57,280
Speaker 13: would be the offense I fear the most, and probably

1233
01:03:57,400 --> 01:03:59,280
Speaker 13: Kansas City would be the offense that I.

1234
01:03:59,280 --> 01:04:00,720
Speaker 4: Fear the least.

1235
01:04:01,480 --> 01:04:04,720
Speaker 13: I think that lends itself to explaining a little bit

1236
01:04:04,920 --> 01:04:08,400
Speaker 13: to how impressive the season has been for Josh. Josh

1237
01:04:08,480 --> 01:04:10,720
Speaker 13: has had a great season, Lamar Jackson has had an

1238
01:04:10,840 --> 01:04:11,840
Speaker 13: unbelievable season.

1239
01:04:12,000 --> 01:04:13,840
Speaker 4: Joe Burrow has had a remarkable season.

1240
01:04:14,360 --> 01:04:16,520
Speaker 13: The MVP has gotten to be a little bit of

1241
01:04:16,600 --> 01:04:21,600
Speaker 13: a h you pick aside a word type of thing,

1242
01:04:22,280 --> 01:04:24,560
Speaker 13: but you got to look at the value. And statistics

1243
01:04:24,600 --> 01:04:27,200
Speaker 13: can say whatever they want. You have to actually watch

1244
01:04:27,320 --> 01:04:32,440
Speaker 13: every single snap and how it looks to really evaluate

1245
01:04:32,560 --> 01:04:34,440
Speaker 13: how much value that person brings.

1246
01:04:34,640 --> 01:04:36,400
Speaker 3: There is something in this league. We were having this

1247
01:04:36,440 --> 01:04:40,040
Speaker 3: conversation earlier in the week or yesterday about you know,

1248
01:04:40,280 --> 01:04:42,320
Speaker 3: we're in the midst of a run. Here. We got

1249
01:04:42,360 --> 01:04:45,800
Speaker 3: Pat Mahomes, Josh al and Lamar Jackson, you got Joe Burrow,

1250
01:04:46,000 --> 01:04:50,600
Speaker 3: Mark you got, you got some guys, Matt Stafford still

1251
01:04:50,600 --> 01:04:53,680
Speaker 3: in the league. You know, Jared Goff, You've got Jaden Daniels,

1252
01:04:53,720 --> 01:04:57,160
Speaker 3: You've got Jalen Williams, you got, you got some young guys,

1253
01:04:57,200 --> 01:05:00,480
Speaker 3: Cabo Nicks coming up, Drake May It's I mean when

1254
01:05:00,520 --> 01:05:03,240
Speaker 3: I played, it was Marino and Kelly and John Elway

1255
01:05:03,360 --> 01:05:10,280
Speaker 3: and Montana. So but this atmosphere of quarterback play in

1256
01:05:10,320 --> 01:05:15,000
Speaker 3: the league maybe maybe deeper than we have ever seen

1257
01:05:15,040 --> 01:05:16,520
Speaker 3: at any other era in history.

1258
01:05:17,600 --> 01:05:19,760
Speaker 13: Steve, I've said that for a year, and that's why

1259
01:05:19,840 --> 01:05:23,720
Speaker 13: I disagreed with what Tom Brady had said at the

1260
01:05:23,760 --> 01:05:25,520
Speaker 13: beginning of the year, I think, or maybe during the

1261
01:05:25,520 --> 01:05:29,720
Speaker 13: summer when he said quarterback play is I don't want

1262
01:05:29,760 --> 01:05:31,600
Speaker 13: to put words in his well, maybe as bad as

1263
01:05:31,640 --> 01:05:34,880
Speaker 13: it's ever been or not good, And I said, I

1264
01:05:34,960 --> 01:05:38,919
Speaker 13: disagreed with that. I thought that one, quarterbacks are more

1265
01:05:38,960 --> 01:05:43,000
Speaker 13: talented than they've ever been. Two, there's way more really

1266
01:05:43,040 --> 01:05:45,560
Speaker 13: good ones. You know, back in the day there was

1267
01:05:45,600 --> 01:05:48,840
Speaker 13: that handful. It felt like now there's you know, every

1268
01:05:48,880 --> 01:05:51,880
Speaker 13: time you say, well, Josh Allen too the MVP, someone goes, well, no,

1269
01:05:51,960 --> 01:05:53,840
Speaker 13: it should be Lamar Jackson, or should be Joe Burrow,

1270
01:05:53,840 --> 01:05:55,920
Speaker 13: should be Patrick Mahome, should be Jaden Daniels, should be

1271
01:05:55,960 --> 01:05:58,320
Speaker 13: Sam Darnold, should be Jared Goff. I mean, you got

1272
01:05:58,360 --> 01:06:03,720
Speaker 13: quarterbacks having MVP caliber seasons by the dozen, it feels like,

1273
01:06:05,080 --> 01:06:08,400
Speaker 13: and I think that speaks volumes to how good these

1274
01:06:08,440 --> 01:06:10,920
Speaker 13: guys are and how remarkable they are.

1275
01:06:10,960 --> 01:06:13,080
Speaker 4: And we've watched quarterbacks.

1276
01:06:12,440 --> 01:06:16,240
Speaker 13: Have seasons similar to some of these guys and clearly

1277
01:06:16,680 --> 01:06:20,560
Speaker 13: win MVP because they were clearly the guy that had

1278
01:06:20,600 --> 01:06:21,560
Speaker 13: performed the best.

1279
01:06:21,760 --> 01:06:23,320
Speaker 4: And I think that's one of the things that's so

1280
01:06:23,480 --> 01:06:24,760
Speaker 4: unique about this one.

1281
01:06:24,640 --> 01:06:27,920
Speaker 13: This year is while one of these guys has had

1282
01:06:27,960 --> 01:06:30,360
Speaker 13: an unbelievable season, it feels like there's three or four

1283
01:06:30,480 --> 01:06:34,720
Speaker 13: that have had equally as unbelievable seasons, and it.

1284
01:06:34,640 --> 01:06:37,160
Speaker 4: Does speak to how well those guys are playing.

1285
01:06:38,120 --> 01:06:41,320
Speaker 2: Yeah are I mean, Josh. The thing that, to me,

1286
01:06:41,440 --> 01:06:46,240
Speaker 2: says Josha part is his scoring ability. I mean, nobody

1287
01:06:46,240 --> 01:06:50,560
Speaker 2: touches him when it comes to touchdown production. I mean

1288
01:06:50,560 --> 01:06:53,600
Speaker 2: he is a scoring machine. I mean our PR staff

1289
01:06:53,600 --> 01:06:56,720
Speaker 2: put this out today. One game left in his seventh

1290
01:06:56,720 --> 01:06:58,960
Speaker 2: season this year, and he's gonna play a series and

1291
01:06:59,040 --> 01:07:02,479
Speaker 2: exit keep his start streak alive. With one game left

1292
01:07:02,480 --> 01:07:04,840
Speaker 2: in his seventh NFL season, he already holds the record

1293
01:07:04,880 --> 01:07:07,320
Speaker 2: for most total touchdowns in a player's first eight seasons.

1294
01:07:08,040 --> 01:07:11,440
Speaker 2: That's more than Mahomes, more than Manning, more than more

1295
01:07:11,480 --> 01:07:13,480
Speaker 2: than anybody, and he hasn't even played a game in

1296
01:07:13,480 --> 01:07:16,480
Speaker 2: his eighth season yet. He is a touchdown machine. I

1297
01:07:16,480 --> 01:07:19,960
Speaker 2: mean when it comes to just scoring points, he's like

1298
01:07:20,000 --> 01:07:21,680
Speaker 2: the Michael Jordan of the NFL.

1299
01:07:22,840 --> 01:07:25,320
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, and that and Chris.

1300
01:07:25,960 --> 01:07:29,960
Speaker 13: That's not negating or taking it away from anyone else's performance.

1301
01:07:30,280 --> 01:07:32,640
Speaker 4: Like two things can be true. And so I think

1302
01:07:32,680 --> 01:07:35,120
Speaker 4: people very clearly know.

1303
01:07:35,240 --> 01:07:38,720
Speaker 13: How much I admire his game, again, like along leg

1304
01:07:38,760 --> 01:07:42,520
Speaker 13: other guys, but I do think that his case for

1305
01:07:42,800 --> 01:07:45,280
Speaker 13: MVP is probably as strong as it's ever been.

1306
01:07:46,480 --> 01:07:48,680
Speaker 3: So what do you give us an idea about if

1307
01:07:49,040 --> 01:07:52,240
Speaker 3: if you take these guys, if you clear the decks

1308
01:07:52,280 --> 01:07:55,040
Speaker 3: and you talk about Offensive Player of the Year and

1309
01:07:55,120 --> 01:07:56,880
Speaker 3: some of the other awards that are out there.

1310
01:07:57,600 --> 01:07:59,840
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, I mean, yeah, that's that's the thing.

1311
01:07:59,840 --> 01:08:00,360
Speaker 4: I said this.

1312
01:08:00,760 --> 01:08:03,960
Speaker 13: I said this yesterday, Steve I said, there's there's probably

1313
01:08:04,360 --> 01:08:06,480
Speaker 13: again ten guys that you can make the case for

1314
01:08:06,760 --> 01:08:10,040
Speaker 13: right that most years would be like, oh yeah, they're

1315
01:08:10,160 --> 01:08:10,680
Speaker 13: no brainer.

1316
01:08:11,120 --> 01:08:13,000
Speaker 4: There's probably four that are going.

1317
01:08:12,960 --> 01:08:17,400
Speaker 13: To be in the highest of conversation for most voters.

1318
01:08:17,439 --> 01:08:19,519
Speaker 13: Would be my guest, it would be Josh, Lamar, Joe

1319
01:08:19,560 --> 01:08:22,840
Speaker 13: and Saquan MVP and Offensive Player of the Year are

1320
01:08:22,840 --> 01:08:24,880
Speaker 13: going to take up two of those, So that means

1321
01:08:24,920 --> 01:08:28,919
Speaker 13: two of those guys are going to be disappointed, frustrated, upset,

1322
01:08:29,479 --> 01:08:31,360
Speaker 13: ridiculously snubbed in some way.

1323
01:08:31,439 --> 01:08:34,880
Speaker 4: I don't know who two are going to be m VP.

1324
01:08:35,360 --> 01:08:36,439
Speaker 4: I really believe this.

1325
01:08:37,040 --> 01:08:40,479
Speaker 13: If Cincinnati gets in, I do think it's gonna be

1326
01:08:40,479 --> 01:08:42,800
Speaker 13: hard for voters not to look at what Joe Burrow

1327
01:08:42,880 --> 01:08:46,400
Speaker 13: has done and say, oh my gosh, Lamar is having

1328
01:08:46,479 --> 01:08:50,080
Speaker 13: a historically great season. I mean, he is doing things

1329
01:08:50,080 --> 01:08:53,400
Speaker 13: that are are kind of ridiculous. You just we've just

1330
01:08:53,439 --> 01:08:57,360
Speaker 13: talked about Josh and the the unbelievable value that Josh

1331
01:08:57,360 --> 01:09:00,280
Speaker 13: has brought. And that's the thing too often that's a

1332
01:09:00,280 --> 01:09:03,800
Speaker 13: Player of the Year by definition is to celebrate the

1333
01:09:03,840 --> 01:09:06,280
Speaker 13: person who has had the best season. And I think

1334
01:09:06,320 --> 01:09:09,639
Speaker 13: statistically that's a thing that you can point to and say,

1335
01:09:09,960 --> 01:09:12,320
Speaker 13: stats why says this person's had the best season.

1336
01:09:12,880 --> 01:09:16,439
Speaker 4: MVP is different. You really have to equate who you're

1337
01:09:16,520 --> 01:09:17,080
Speaker 4: doing it.

1338
01:09:17,040 --> 01:09:19,479
Speaker 13: With and who you're doing it against, and what you're

1339
01:09:19,520 --> 01:09:20,320
Speaker 13: being asked to do.

1340
01:09:20,360 --> 01:09:24,519
Speaker 4: And so Saquon might break a forty year old rushing record.

1341
01:09:24,560 --> 01:09:27,080
Speaker 13: So out of that group of four would be my

1342
01:09:27,240 --> 01:09:30,000
Speaker 13: guest for MVP and offensive Rookie the year. Defensive Player

1343
01:09:30,000 --> 01:09:32,160
Speaker 13: of the Year is a little bit of an unknown

1344
01:09:32,240 --> 01:09:35,639
Speaker 13: as well. Kirby Joseph from the Lions leads the NFL.

1345
01:09:35,680 --> 01:09:39,080
Speaker 13: I believe in picks with nine Miles Garrett's got something

1346
01:09:39,160 --> 01:09:41,439
Speaker 13: like thirteen sacks and four straight seasons.

1347
01:09:41,720 --> 01:09:43,800
Speaker 4: But I don't know if there's a defensive player that

1348
01:09:43,960 --> 01:09:45,280
Speaker 4: is clearly.

1349
01:09:46,320 --> 01:09:49,960
Speaker 13: Shown past somebody else. Jalen Carter from the Eagles that's

1350
01:09:49,960 --> 01:09:51,240
Speaker 13: a defensive tackle.

1351
01:09:50,960 --> 01:09:52,120
Speaker 4: Has been a game changer.

1352
01:09:52,320 --> 01:09:55,360
Speaker 13: Zach Bonder linebackers, so there's a lot of people in

1353
01:09:55,360 --> 01:09:57,920
Speaker 13: the mix, and it's another example of how great some

1354
01:09:58,040 --> 01:09:59,760
Speaker 13: of the individual performances have been.

1355
01:10:01,040 --> 01:10:03,200
Speaker 2: Dan, thanks as always for the time. We appreciate it.

1356
01:10:03,240 --> 01:10:04,960
Speaker 2: We'll catch up with you next week and get ready

1357
01:10:04,960 --> 01:10:05,680
Speaker 2: for the postseason.

1358
01:10:07,000 --> 01:10:07,800
Speaker 4: Happy New Year guys.

1359
01:10:07,800 --> 01:10:10,680
Speaker 2: Thanks all right, that's Stan Rolopski joining us as he

1360
01:10:10,680 --> 01:10:13,559
Speaker 2: does every week on Tuesdays to talk x'es and o's

1361
01:10:13,600 --> 01:10:16,360
Speaker 2: Bill's football, the league get large, and this week the

1362
01:10:16,439 --> 01:10:19,320
Speaker 2: MVP race. Once again, it's gonna be a persistent topic.

1363
01:10:19,400 --> 01:10:20,920
Speaker 2: I have a feeling for.

1364
01:10:20,920 --> 01:10:23,120
Speaker 3: Sure it goes away after this week because the votes

1365
01:10:23,120 --> 01:10:23,400
Speaker 3: are in.

1366
01:10:23,560 --> 01:10:25,680
Speaker 2: But he also yes, But he also makes a good

1367
01:10:25,680 --> 01:10:28,880
Speaker 2: point about Burrow because if the Bengals, somehow, some way,

1368
01:10:28,960 --> 01:10:32,280
Speaker 2: by hooker by crook, get into the postseason, he becomes

1369
01:10:32,320 --> 01:10:36,120
Speaker 2: a more viable candidate because you could quite literally and

1370
01:10:36,240 --> 01:10:40,639
Speaker 2: easily state he carried that team out of the depths

1371
01:10:40,720 --> 01:10:44,160
Speaker 2: of last place in the division and lifted them to

1372
01:10:44,200 --> 01:10:47,960
Speaker 2: a playoff. Berth granted, with help, it'll it'll come with help,

1373
01:10:48,640 --> 01:10:50,960
Speaker 2: but his numbers are off the charts. I mean, they

1374
01:10:50,960 --> 01:10:53,400
Speaker 2: are a one sided football team. They give up weight

1375
01:10:53,800 --> 01:10:56,439
Speaker 2: too much on the defensive side of the ball. Their

1376
01:10:56,479 --> 01:10:59,720
Speaker 2: defense has fallen off terribly, and he's done a ton

1377
01:10:59,800 --> 01:11:06,280
Speaker 2: this here, all right, Steve doesn't have a lot of

1378
01:11:06,320 --> 01:11:07,520
Speaker 2: respect for Cincinnati.

1379
01:11:10,600 --> 01:11:13,599
Speaker 3: It's they did get off to a bad start, you know. Yeah,

1380
01:11:13,640 --> 01:11:17,760
Speaker 3: their heroic run to the seventh into eight losses, you know,

1381
01:11:18,040 --> 01:11:23,439
Speaker 3: good for them. It was it was an early season

1382
01:11:24,400 --> 01:11:26,719
Speaker 3: hole that Joe Burrow helped him dig.

1383
01:11:28,040 --> 01:11:30,800
Speaker 2: That's right there, you go, you know.

1384
01:11:31,000 --> 01:11:33,439
Speaker 3: You get it. You gotta give him, give him a hand,

1385
01:11:33,439 --> 01:11:37,679
Speaker 3: give him a hand in the contribution to going four

1386
01:11:37,680 --> 01:11:40,519
Speaker 3: and one or one and four to start the season,

1387
01:11:40,560 --> 01:11:43,160
Speaker 3: as much as you give him a you know, credit

1388
01:11:43,240 --> 01:11:45,840
Speaker 3: for winning four straight at the end, maybe five straight.

1389
01:11:45,960 --> 01:11:48,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's completed. It's almost seventy percent of his passes

1390
01:11:48,960 --> 01:11:51,719
Speaker 2: forty six hundred yards forty two touchdowns to eight picks.

1391
01:11:52,560 --> 01:11:55,080
Speaker 2: And uh that's just passing. So he didn't do a

1392
01:11:55,120 --> 01:11:58,679
Speaker 2: lot running. But I just it's interesting. I mean, and look,

1393
01:11:58,880 --> 01:12:02,760
Speaker 2: he's also had to carry his team or bring his

1394
01:12:02,760 --> 01:12:05,320
Speaker 2: team back from deficits on the scoreboard because his defense

1395
01:12:05,320 --> 01:12:08,200
Speaker 2: can't stop anybody. So he's usually throwing it all over

1396
01:12:08,200 --> 01:12:10,479
Speaker 2: the yard right to the end of the game. Because

1397
01:12:10,479 --> 01:12:13,200
Speaker 2: they're winning games forty four to thirty eight stuff like that.

1398
01:12:13,680 --> 01:12:17,160
Speaker 2: Bills haven't had to do that. We have to get

1399
01:12:17,200 --> 01:12:19,280
Speaker 2: back to the phones where we are asking you today,

1400
01:12:20,640 --> 01:12:23,400
Speaker 2: what is your level of confidence in Buffalo's defense after

1401
01:12:23,439 --> 01:12:27,160
Speaker 2: their dominant performance last Sunday against the Jets eight h

1402
01:12:27,200 --> 01:12:29,679
Speaker 2: three zero five fifty one eighty eight five fifty two

1403
01:12:29,680 --> 01:12:31,719
Speaker 2: five fifty And to people who have been waiting patiently,

1404
01:12:31,800 --> 01:12:34,519
Speaker 2: like Ron in chic Towaga, well you got first. Ron,

1405
01:12:34,560 --> 01:12:35,439
Speaker 2: You're on one Bill's Live.

1406
01:12:36,520 --> 01:12:38,840
Speaker 8: Yeah. First of all, I want to which.

1407
01:12:38,720 --> 01:12:39,960
Speaker 15: You both a happy New Year.

1408
01:12:40,479 --> 01:12:41,000
Speaker 3: Thanks Ron.

1409
01:12:41,160 --> 01:12:44,439
Speaker 15: And you know I've watched this team over the last

1410
01:12:44,439 --> 01:12:49,080
Speaker 15: three years of the with Jackson. Have any chance I

1411
01:12:49,120 --> 01:12:52,280
Speaker 15: got because of the the way he can run a football,

1412
01:12:52,920 --> 01:12:56,120
Speaker 15: and there's things that I spotted, and I'm almost convinced

1413
01:12:56,160 --> 01:13:00,360
Speaker 15: I'm right. When he's going to run the football, he

1414
01:13:00,400 --> 01:13:04,200
Speaker 15: doesn't stand in the pocket as opposed to when he's

1415
01:13:04,240 --> 01:13:07,519
Speaker 15: going to throw the football. He's up closer. It's almost

1416
01:13:07,560 --> 01:13:12,040
Speaker 15: a dead giveaway. But what happens is the two inside tackles,

1417
01:13:12,520 --> 01:13:15,000
Speaker 15: they they push them to the left and the right

1418
01:13:15,080 --> 01:13:18,559
Speaker 15: to open up the hole because he's deadly up the middle.

1419
01:13:18,920 --> 01:13:21,799
Speaker 15: If he runs outside, he doesn't like it. He doesn't

1420
01:13:22,360 --> 01:13:25,080
Speaker 15: and he can't when he throws on the roll. He's

1421
01:13:25,120 --> 01:13:27,840
Speaker 15: not as accurate if you look as he is when

1422
01:13:27,840 --> 01:13:33,040
Speaker 15: he throws in the pocket. And I just feel that

1423
01:13:33,120 --> 01:13:35,880
Speaker 15: if they put somebody in the middle there to station

1424
01:13:36,040 --> 01:13:39,200
Speaker 15: them when they try that. They don't do it all

1425
01:13:39,240 --> 01:13:41,760
Speaker 15: the time, you know, but when he decides he wants

1426
01:13:41,800 --> 01:13:44,040
Speaker 15: to try or run, you know, that's what they do.

1427
01:13:44,120 --> 01:13:47,280
Speaker 15: They try to push the two tackles left and right

1428
01:13:47,320 --> 01:13:50,080
Speaker 15: away from the and open up that hole and there's

1429
01:13:50,080 --> 01:13:52,400
Speaker 15: nobody in the middle to get it. Once he gets

1430
01:13:52,400 --> 01:13:55,880
Speaker 15: past that line, he's deadly. But if they put somebody

1431
01:13:55,920 --> 01:13:58,680
Speaker 15: like Marno in the middle there, if he's up the

1432
01:13:58,720 --> 01:14:01,360
Speaker 15: ship and it won't have Yeah.

1433
01:14:01,120 --> 01:14:03,400
Speaker 2: Okay, get what you're saying, Ron. I mean, the Bills

1434
01:14:04,720 --> 01:14:07,280
Speaker 2: have had very good game plans against Lamar over the

1435
01:14:07,360 --> 01:14:10,479
Speaker 2: years and have done great job in hemming him in

1436
01:14:11,160 --> 01:14:14,800
Speaker 2: not letting him get out all that much. And they

1437
01:14:14,840 --> 01:14:17,960
Speaker 2: have deployed spy on him as well, which is, you know,

1438
01:14:18,000 --> 01:14:20,360
Speaker 2: a dedicated guy at the second level to just mirror

1439
01:14:20,439 --> 01:14:22,160
Speaker 2: him and if he does take off and run, go

1440
01:14:22,200 --> 01:14:25,160
Speaker 2: get him, which is easier said than done, to your point,

1441
01:14:25,680 --> 01:14:29,759
Speaker 2: But I think overall the Bills have had really solid

1442
01:14:29,800 --> 01:14:31,599
Speaker 2: game plans against Lamar and the Ravens.

1443
01:14:32,439 --> 01:14:35,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, i'd say, yeah, absolutely. Now Derrick Henry changed the equation,

1444
01:14:36,160 --> 01:14:39,920
Speaker 3: Yes he does chang, but yeah, they'll having had a

1445
01:14:40,000 --> 01:14:42,040
Speaker 3: look at them. I think the Bills will get a

1446
01:14:42,040 --> 01:14:43,880
Speaker 3: lot of benefit from that game that they played against

1447
01:14:43,920 --> 01:14:46,840
Speaker 3: him early in the season, particularly how it went. And

1448
01:14:47,080 --> 01:14:50,559
Speaker 3: we'll we'll see how it goes again. But you know,

1449
01:14:50,840 --> 01:14:56,160
Speaker 3: if Ron, if you're noticing it, so's everybody else, believe me.

1450
01:14:56,479 --> 01:14:59,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, especially the people that do it for a living.

1451
01:14:59,200 --> 01:14:59,400
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1452
01:15:00,400 --> 01:15:02,280
Speaker 2: And then one quick note, we told you we would

1453
01:15:02,320 --> 01:15:05,840
Speaker 2: find out some information about the practice squad and how

1454
01:15:05,840 --> 01:15:08,559
Speaker 2: it works once you get to the postseason. As we said,

1455
01:15:08,880 --> 01:15:12,120
Speaker 2: I just confirmed this. It does reset for the postseason,

1456
01:15:12,640 --> 01:15:15,040
Speaker 2: and there is no limit to the number of elevation

1457
01:15:15,200 --> 01:15:19,000
Speaker 2: elevations for a specific player in the postseason because really

1458
01:15:19,040 --> 01:15:22,160
Speaker 2: the postseason only lasts four games if you play all

1459
01:15:22,280 --> 01:15:24,960
Speaker 2: rounds of the playoffs, including the Super Bowl, so there

1460
01:15:25,000 --> 01:15:27,280
Speaker 2: is no limit in the postseason. The only limit is

1461
01:15:27,560 --> 01:15:31,640
Speaker 2: you can still only elevate two players per game. So

1462
01:15:31,680 --> 01:15:33,960
Speaker 2: hopefully that helps the people that we're asking. We'll take

1463
01:15:33,960 --> 01:15:35,559
Speaker 2: a break here, but more of your phone calls when

1464
01:15:35,640 --> 01:15:38,280
Speaker 2: we return here. On one Bill's Live presented by Colta Health.

1465
01:15:38,320 --> 01:15:55,000
Speaker 2: It's Buffalo Bills Radio All Right. Time for Heating Up

1466
01:15:55,040 --> 01:15:57,799
Speaker 2: and Cooling Down, presented by t Mark, h Back and Plumbing.

1467
01:15:57,840 --> 01:16:00,400
Speaker 2: Call in the home team. Trust Team Mark, You're Plumbing,

1468
01:16:00,520 --> 01:16:04,360
Speaker 2: HVAC and Electric Expert. An official partner of the Buffalo Bills.

1469
01:16:04,400 --> 01:16:08,320
Speaker 2: Heating up right now is Buffalo's red zone offense. They

1470
01:16:08,360 --> 01:16:10,680
Speaker 2: have zoomed all the way up to number two in

1471
01:16:10,720 --> 01:16:15,160
Speaker 2: the league. They're converting red zone possessions into touchdowns almost

1472
01:16:15,160 --> 01:16:20,120
Speaker 2: seventy one percent of the time, and the only team

1473
01:16:20,160 --> 01:16:23,240
Speaker 2: better than them right now is Baltimore. Baltimore at seventy

1474
01:16:23,240 --> 01:16:23,880
Speaker 2: four point two.

1475
01:16:23,760 --> 01:16:25,360
Speaker 3: P They're tough to hold out of the end zone

1476
01:16:25,400 --> 01:16:27,800
Speaker 3: and it comes with from the fact that both those

1477
01:16:27,800 --> 01:16:32,160
Speaker 3: teams run the ball extremely well. That's really in the

1478
01:16:32,160 --> 01:16:34,439
Speaker 3: red zone. That's a difference maker. Yeah, the good teams

1479
01:16:34,439 --> 01:16:35,080
Speaker 3: always did that.

1480
01:16:35,240 --> 01:16:39,439
Speaker 2: So that's heating up. Cooling down is Buffalo's injury list,

1481
01:16:39,680 --> 01:16:42,519
Speaker 2: which is a welcome sight. As we saw, the Bills

1482
01:16:42,520 --> 01:16:46,160
Speaker 2: got three starters back in the lineup in their back

1483
01:16:46,240 --> 01:16:50,120
Speaker 2: seven on defense. Matt Mlano, Rasuwell, Douglas Taylor rapp All

1484
01:16:50,160 --> 01:16:53,839
Speaker 2: returned to the lineup last week. And coach McDermott yesterday

1485
01:16:53,880 --> 01:16:57,120
Speaker 2: said there is the hope that DeMar Hamlin will be

1486
01:16:57,200 --> 01:16:59,680
Speaker 2: back in the lineup this week, So that would be

1487
01:16:59,760 --> 01:17:01,400
Speaker 2: nice for him to get a game back under his

1488
01:17:01,479 --> 01:17:05,879
Speaker 2: belt heading into the postseason. So cooling down the Buffalo

1489
01:17:05,920 --> 01:17:07,240
Speaker 2: injury list thankfully.

1490
01:17:07,400 --> 01:17:10,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's us where you want to be. Certainly,

1491
01:17:10,320 --> 01:17:12,439
Speaker 3: I'm sure somebody's going to be dragging around some pain

1492
01:17:12,560 --> 01:17:15,080
Speaker 3: and discomfort into the playoffs on the Bills roster, but

1493
01:17:15,640 --> 01:17:17,599
Speaker 3: not as much as it has been in the past.

1494
01:17:17,760 --> 01:17:19,759
Speaker 3: Is going to be It's going to be an asset

1495
01:17:19,800 --> 01:17:22,200
Speaker 3: to them. Yeahowing up fresher and healthier than they have

1496
01:17:22,360 --> 01:17:23,840
Speaker 3: in last year's run.

1497
01:17:23,920 --> 01:17:26,000
Speaker 2: So that is heating up and cooling down, presented by

1498
01:17:26,000 --> 01:17:28,920
Speaker 2: t Mark Hvac and plumbing back to the phones. We're

1499
01:17:28,920 --> 01:17:31,200
Speaker 2: asking you your level of confidence in the defense after

1500
01:17:31,240 --> 01:17:35,960
Speaker 2: their inspiring performance against the Jets last week. Let us

1534
01:18:56,400 --> 01:18:59,160
Speaker 3: So there's no so, Dave that the point is there's

1535
01:18:59,200 --> 01:19:02,240
Speaker 3: no asterisk in long Eric Dickerson's name. There's no asterisk

1536
01:19:02,280 --> 01:19:08,920
Speaker 3: along Oj Simpson's name. So no, the season, the regular

1537
01:19:08,960 --> 01:19:10,599
Speaker 3: season is the regular season. I'll say it, and I'll

1538
01:19:10,600 --> 01:19:14,040
Speaker 3: say this again. It's gonna go down again because they're

1539
01:19:14,040 --> 01:19:17,880
Speaker 3: gonna move to eighteen games in a minute, and you're

1540
01:19:17,880 --> 01:19:20,880
Speaker 3: gonna have the same problem all over. The numbers are

1541
01:19:20,920 --> 01:19:24,240
Speaker 3: gonna go nothing but up all over the league, defensively, offensively,

1542
01:19:24,280 --> 01:19:27,559
Speaker 3: all of that stuff. So no, they're not gonna asterix

1543
01:19:27,600 --> 01:19:31,360
Speaker 3: any of that stuff. The number is the number. If

1544
01:19:31,400 --> 01:19:36,720
Speaker 3: you do it, good for you and those Let me

1545
01:19:36,760 --> 01:19:39,920
Speaker 3: tell you something that that's no joke. You're right, it

1546
01:19:40,000 --> 01:19:45,080
Speaker 3: took them fewer games. But remember it was a vastly

1547
01:19:45,640 --> 01:19:50,240
Speaker 3: different NFL league then than it is now. Vastly different.

1548
01:19:50,720 --> 01:19:54,280
Speaker 3: So that's that's the truth of it.

1549
01:19:54,920 --> 01:19:58,479
Speaker 2: Let's go to Joseph on a sale next. What's up Joseph?

1550
01:19:58,840 --> 01:20:01,160
Speaker 16: Hello, folks in the first happened to year to you all?

1551
01:20:02,640 --> 01:20:06,320
Speaker 16: My question is actually, as a thought, with the Bills

1552
01:20:07,720 --> 01:20:11,120
Speaker 16: may have to play against the Baltimore Ravens, it might

1553
01:20:11,200 --> 01:20:14,479
Speaker 16: be nice to switch from a nickel defense to a

1554
01:20:14,520 --> 01:20:18,400
Speaker 16: four to three deal better with the Ravens running game.

1555
01:20:19,080 --> 01:20:21,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, go ahead. What's the second? One? One one thing?

1556
01:20:22,479 --> 01:20:25,320
Speaker 16: Well, normally is this a statement? Normally my son calls,

1557
01:20:25,640 --> 01:20:27,599
Speaker 16: he's christ from Brooklyn. They didn't call it to day.

1558
01:20:27,720 --> 01:20:32,160
Speaker 2: Okay, fair enough, tell Chris, we said, hello, yeah, we've

1559
01:20:32,200 --> 01:20:35,559
Speaker 2: talked about this. Joseph Steve is of the opinion that

1560
01:20:36,360 --> 01:20:39,000
Speaker 2: to play this Ravens seem more effectively, you have to

1561
01:20:39,040 --> 01:20:45,200
Speaker 2: do something unconventional from what you normally do. And you know,

1562
01:20:45,280 --> 01:20:47,360
Speaker 2: we saw there was a team a couple of weeks ago,

1563
01:20:47,360 --> 01:20:50,639
Speaker 2: I think it was Washington that actually played a fifty

1564
01:20:50,680 --> 01:20:55,559
Speaker 2: front against the Baltimore Ravens offense and it worked. It

1565
01:20:55,640 --> 01:20:59,439
Speaker 2: was pretty effective in neutralizing Derrick Henry. Now that's not

1566
01:20:59,560 --> 01:21:02,639
Speaker 2: something that Washington normally does, but they made an exception

1567
01:21:02,760 --> 01:21:05,080
Speaker 2: for opponent that they didn't feel was a good matchup

1568
01:21:05,120 --> 01:21:07,519
Speaker 2: for the way they usually play defense. The Bills may

1569
01:21:07,560 --> 01:21:10,080
Speaker 2: feel the same, and if they do, they may have

1570
01:21:10,120 --> 01:21:11,960
Speaker 2: to resort to some of those tactics, right. I mean,

1571
01:21:12,360 --> 01:21:14,719
Speaker 2: you're trying to win a game to advance in the playoffs.

1572
01:21:14,760 --> 01:21:15,800
Speaker 2: You do whatever you need to do.

1573
01:21:15,880 --> 01:21:18,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's not going to be any experimentation. You gotta

1574
01:21:18,520 --> 01:21:20,800
Speaker 3: do what you have to do to win the game.

1575
01:21:21,320 --> 01:21:24,400
Speaker 3: And if it means go base or go fifty front,

1576
01:21:25,040 --> 01:21:27,000
Speaker 3: they're going to do it. And they've got to have

1577
01:21:27,080 --> 01:21:34,040
Speaker 3: that ready because they have to make the Baltimore Ravens

1578
01:21:34,760 --> 01:21:40,600
Speaker 3: do something they're not good at, whatever that may be. So, yeah,

1579
01:21:40,680 --> 01:21:44,200
Speaker 3: you're right, that thought is very right. If you're going

1580
01:21:44,280 --> 01:21:46,200
Speaker 3: to do something against the Baltimore and you're having a

1581
01:21:46,280 --> 01:21:50,840
Speaker 3: hard time stopping them in nickel defense, don't play Nickel right.

1582
01:21:51,240 --> 01:21:53,559
Speaker 2: I will once again remind everybody that back in Week

1583
01:21:53,600 --> 01:21:56,040
Speaker 2: four when the Bills played the Ravens, they did not

1584
01:21:56,080 --> 01:21:58,080
Speaker 2: have any of their starting players at the second level

1585
01:21:58,080 --> 01:22:00,479
Speaker 2: of their defense to where l Bernard was at injured.

1586
01:22:00,479 --> 01:22:03,439
Speaker 2: Matt Milana was out injured, and Taron Johnson was out injured.

1587
01:22:03,800 --> 01:22:07,280
Speaker 2: So just something to keep in mind if they cross

1588
01:22:07,360 --> 01:22:11,679
Speaker 2: paths again. Hopefully the Bills are significantly healthier defensively entering

1589
01:22:12,240 --> 01:22:14,760
Speaker 2: that game. We go to Judy in Buffalo X.

1590
01:22:14,840 --> 01:22:17,280
Speaker 3: What's up, Judy.

1591
01:22:17,960 --> 01:22:20,120
Speaker 5: I would like to see the Bills develop a forty

1592
01:22:20,240 --> 01:22:23,920
Speaker 5: twenty strategy, or they control the ball for forty minutes

1593
01:22:23,960 --> 01:22:26,599
Speaker 5: of the game, score as many points as they can,

1594
01:22:27,200 --> 01:22:31,400
Speaker 5: and then when they do relinquish the ball to the defense.

1595
01:22:32,080 --> 01:22:35,000
Speaker 5: I think the defense is capable of at least one

1596
01:22:35,120 --> 01:22:38,400
Speaker 5: or two disruptive players that can keep the Bills on

1597
01:22:38,439 --> 01:22:42,600
Speaker 5: the winning path. I'm very hopeful that this is the

1598
01:22:42,640 --> 01:22:44,000
Speaker 5: way they're going to proceed.

1599
01:22:45,080 --> 01:22:47,360
Speaker 2: Okay in the playoffs. You mean I guess right, Judy,

1600
01:22:48,360 --> 01:22:50,320
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, okay.

1601
01:22:50,240 --> 01:22:53,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's easier said than done. Yeah, I mean forty

1602
01:22:54,040 --> 01:22:56,080
Speaker 3: of it's rare. That's a great role. It's a great

1603
01:22:56,800 --> 01:23:00,280
Speaker 3: A goal to run after is to control the all

1604
01:23:00,520 --> 01:23:02,960
Speaker 3: that length of time, no question about it. You're right,

1605
01:23:03,960 --> 01:23:06,519
Speaker 3: and that has kind of been the recipe for this

1606
01:23:06,600 --> 01:23:08,879
Speaker 3: season for the Bills that you know, their run defense

1607
01:23:08,920 --> 01:23:12,599
Speaker 3: has been suspect. They haven't been. Their numbers and across

1608
01:23:12,640 --> 01:23:16,759
Speaker 3: the board are middle of the pack, but they're really

1609
01:23:16,800 --> 01:23:20,280
Speaker 3: good at those plays you're talking about, punching the ball out,

1610
01:23:20,360 --> 01:23:23,519
Speaker 3: picking the pass off, batting, tipping a pass for an interception.

1611
01:23:24,680 --> 01:23:28,120
Speaker 3: They're really good at all that stuff. That is a

1612
01:23:28,240 --> 01:23:31,320
Speaker 3: very good compliment to an offense that, like you said,

1613
01:23:32,080 --> 01:23:34,800
Speaker 3: stays on the field and scores a lot of touchdowns.

1614
01:23:35,120 --> 01:23:37,000
Speaker 3: When they move the ball and get down the red zone,

1615
01:23:37,000 --> 01:23:39,360
Speaker 3: seventy percent of time it's a touchdown. A lot of

1616
01:23:39,400 --> 01:23:42,680
Speaker 3: teams can't keep up with that, and that's why you

1617
01:23:42,680 --> 01:23:44,360
Speaker 3: get into the second half of these games and the

1618
01:23:44,400 --> 01:23:46,640
Speaker 3: Bills kind of stand up and take a breath and

1619
01:23:46,760 --> 01:23:48,800
Speaker 3: say you can you can dink and dunk it all

1620
01:23:48,840 --> 01:23:50,240
Speaker 3: you want, all the way down the field, but it's

1621
01:23:50,280 --> 01:23:52,599
Speaker 3: gonna take you six minutes to score. There's only eight

1622
01:23:52,640 --> 01:23:55,040
Speaker 3: minutes left in this game, and you need it. You

1623
01:23:55,080 --> 01:23:58,000
Speaker 3: need the ball three times or twice, you're not gonna

1624
01:23:58,000 --> 01:24:01,679
Speaker 3: get it back. That's that's the recipe the Bills have used,

1625
01:24:01,880 --> 01:24:02,719
Speaker 3: and it has worked.

1626
01:24:03,920 --> 01:24:07,040
Speaker 2: We've got a question coming in on the Pepsi Football

1627
01:24:07,080 --> 01:24:09,720
Speaker 2: Relationship hotline, so we have to address that because we

1628
01:24:09,720 --> 01:24:12,920
Speaker 2: do provide a public service here presented by Pepsi, the

1629
01:24:12,920 --> 01:24:15,120
Speaker 2: official soft drink of the Buffalo Bills. This one comes

1630
01:24:15,120 --> 01:24:18,200
Speaker 2: in from Todd. He says, my son gave my daughter

1631
01:24:18,240 --> 01:24:21,960
Speaker 2: and I tickets to this Sunday's Patriots game for Christmas.

1632
01:24:21,960 --> 01:24:24,719
Speaker 2: My daughter, like any breathing twenty two year old girl,

1633
01:24:24,880 --> 01:24:28,080
Speaker 2: loves Josh Allen. How do I keep her interested in

1634
01:24:28,120 --> 01:24:31,599
Speaker 2: the game without her asking me to leave after the

1635
01:24:31,600 --> 01:24:33,800
Speaker 2: first quarter knowing Josh is not going to be playing

1636
01:24:33,920 --> 01:24:37,880
Speaker 2: very long. Well, just because he's not playing doesn't mean

1637
01:24:37,920 --> 01:24:42,200
Speaker 2: he's left the building. So I would encourage her to

1638
01:24:42,280 --> 01:24:47,400
Speaker 2: observe Josh on the sidelines. I mean, arguably, if you're

1639
01:24:47,400 --> 01:24:50,880
Speaker 2: on the Bill's sideline, she'll be even closer to him.

1640
01:24:51,120 --> 01:24:55,680
Speaker 2: With him not playing. So there's that number one. I'm

1641
01:24:55,680 --> 01:24:57,120
Speaker 2: guessing you're not going to break it to her that

1642
01:24:57,120 --> 01:25:00,880
Speaker 2: he isn't engaged man. But in any event, if she's

1643
01:25:00,920 --> 01:25:01,840
Speaker 2: twenty two, she knows.

1644
01:25:02,120 --> 01:25:06,040
Speaker 3: But I would also say you got to try and

1645
01:25:06,040 --> 01:25:09,160
Speaker 3: and enlighten her about some of the guys that are playing,

1646
01:25:09,280 --> 01:25:11,360
Speaker 3: why they're playing, get into the nuance of the game.

1647
01:25:11,360 --> 01:25:11,559
Speaker 2: Talk.

1648
01:25:12,040 --> 01:25:14,559
Speaker 3: Just start a conversation and point out and start talking

1649
01:25:14,600 --> 01:25:19,559
Speaker 3: about and you might have the preparation is key. Have

1650
01:25:19,800 --> 01:25:22,960
Speaker 3: a list, a small list of like four or five

1651
01:25:23,040 --> 01:25:25,360
Speaker 3: things you can talk about and enlighten her about, like

1652
01:25:27,080 --> 01:25:29,479
Speaker 3: why Ken Coleman is important, why he was a high

1653
01:25:29,640 --> 01:25:31,360
Speaker 3: round draft pick, and what they hope to get out

1654
01:25:31,360 --> 01:25:33,479
Speaker 3: of him, why his season has gone the way it has,

1655
01:25:34,400 --> 01:25:36,360
Speaker 3: how he has really flashed when he's got another floor,

1656
01:25:36,360 --> 01:25:38,760
Speaker 3: And then move from him, go to Christian Benford, who

1657
01:25:38,840 --> 01:25:40,960
Speaker 3: is a sixth round draft pick who is now playing

1658
01:25:41,000 --> 01:25:43,599
Speaker 3: in an all pro level, and how the Bills developed

1659
01:25:43,680 --> 01:25:45,559
Speaker 3: him and how he worked his way up from being

1660
01:25:45,600 --> 01:25:48,800
Speaker 3: a last guy in the depth chart to the number

1661
01:25:48,840 --> 01:25:51,840
Speaker 3: one corner in his first rookie season. All of that stuff.

1662
01:25:51,880 --> 01:25:54,080
Speaker 3: You have a list of talking points that you can

1663
01:25:54,120 --> 01:25:57,920
Speaker 3: talk to her about throughout the game that will keep

1664
01:25:57,960 --> 01:26:00,800
Speaker 3: her interested when guys are on or off the field

1665
01:26:00,840 --> 01:26:01,240
Speaker 3: and all of that.

1666
01:26:01,479 --> 01:26:05,080
Speaker 2: And if she's not interested in hardcore football stuff, like

1667
01:26:05,120 --> 01:26:07,880
Speaker 2: Steve was suggesting, maybe kind of look up some of

1668
01:26:07,920 --> 01:26:10,280
Speaker 2: the off field pursuits of some of these players as well,

1669
01:26:10,840 --> 01:26:14,320
Speaker 2: so you have some other things to discuss besides just

1670
01:26:14,400 --> 01:26:17,400
Speaker 2: hardcore Exigono's football and individual.

1671
01:26:17,040 --> 01:26:20,160
Speaker 3: Telling there with a one Bill's Live rundown sheet of

1672
01:26:20,160 --> 01:26:22,080
Speaker 3: what we're going to talk about for the entire show,

1673
01:26:22,400 --> 01:26:24,880
Speaker 3: and that's what you do. Yeah, just go down the list.

1674
01:26:24,960 --> 01:26:27,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you could talk to her about Mac Collins

1675
01:26:27,200 --> 01:26:30,040
Speaker 2: and why he goes barefoot everywhere, and you know what

1676
01:26:30,120 --> 01:26:33,360
Speaker 2: he believes in holistically in terms of holistic medicine. I mean,

1677
01:26:33,360 --> 01:26:35,200
Speaker 2: there's a whole bunch of different directions you can go

1678
01:26:35,479 --> 01:26:38,400
Speaker 2: depending on what your daughter is most into concerning the Bills.

1679
01:26:38,800 --> 01:26:41,040
Speaker 3: So and try and have enough information to answer questions

1680
01:26:41,040 --> 01:26:41,880
Speaker 3: if she has them. That's it.

1681
01:26:42,439 --> 01:26:46,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, So hopefully that helps. Good luck. Enjoy the game, Todd.

1682
01:26:46,600 --> 01:26:48,360
Speaker 2: Feel free to wave up to me in the box

1683
01:26:48,640 --> 01:26:51,240
Speaker 2: if you if you're on if you're on the Bill's sideline,

1684
01:26:51,280 --> 01:26:53,519
Speaker 2: because our radio booth is on the same side of

1685
01:26:53,520 --> 01:26:55,200
Speaker 2: the field as well. Got to take a break here,

1686
01:26:55,760 --> 01:26:58,280
Speaker 2: but when we come back, we want to remind you

1687
01:26:58,400 --> 01:27:02,439
Speaker 2: of a certain anniversary. It's today and we'll explain when

1688
01:27:02,439 --> 01:27:04,760
Speaker 2: we return here on one Bill's Live presented by Colida Health,

1689
01:27:04,800 --> 01:27:36,320
Speaker 2: it's Buffalo Bills Radio that's celebrating you. Here happened seven

1690
01:27:36,439 --> 01:27:41,160
Speaker 2: years ago tonight. The Buffalo Bills, after beating the Miami

1691
01:27:41,240 --> 01:27:44,040
Speaker 2: Dolphins at the end of the twenty seventeen regular season,

1692
01:27:44,120 --> 01:27:48,680
Speaker 2: needed help to end the playoff drought, and the Cincinnati

1693
01:27:48,680 --> 01:27:53,320
Speaker 2: Bengals obliged by beating the Baltimore Ravens. And that was

1694
01:27:53,400 --> 01:27:55,400
Speaker 2: the eruption in the locker room as they were watching

1695
01:27:55,439 --> 01:27:58,120
Speaker 2: the end of that game on the television in the

1696
01:27:58,160 --> 01:28:02,000
Speaker 2: locker room, and there were celebrations all across Western New

1697
01:28:02,080 --> 01:28:05,479
Speaker 2: York in bars and taverns everywhere by Bill's mafia. Watching

1698
01:28:05,520 --> 01:28:12,880
Speaker 2: this game just an iconic moment in team history, absolutely iconic.

1699
01:28:13,640 --> 01:28:15,680
Speaker 3: It in my mind, and I was part of a

1700
01:28:15,720 --> 01:28:20,680
Speaker 3: bunch of cool moments for this franchise. Old timers like

1701
01:28:20,720 --> 01:28:22,559
Speaker 3: me can can go back and list them off, but

1702
01:28:23,360 --> 01:28:25,160
Speaker 3: I don't know that there's ever been a moment like

1703
01:28:25,240 --> 01:28:29,280
Speaker 3: that in franchise history. After commiserating for seventeen years together

1704
01:28:29,320 --> 01:28:31,559
Speaker 3: as a fan base and actually getting bigger as a

1705
01:28:31,600 --> 01:28:34,360
Speaker 3: fan base behind a team that never got to the playoffs.

1706
01:28:34,880 --> 01:28:37,160
Speaker 3: To have that happen in the way that it did

1707
01:28:37,560 --> 01:28:40,800
Speaker 3: where another team was doing it so we could all

1708
01:28:40,840 --> 01:28:42,880
Speaker 3: watch together, and we were in the locker room, and

1709
01:28:43,400 --> 01:28:45,479
Speaker 3: kudos to our crew for being in there and having

1710
01:28:45,520 --> 01:28:49,080
Speaker 3: the cameras rolling and seeing and all around the country

1711
01:28:49,080 --> 01:28:51,639
Speaker 3: where the Bill's backers bars. They all knew what was coming.

1712
01:28:52,280 --> 01:28:56,000
Speaker 3: The entire Bill's Mafia family got to do that together.

1713
01:28:56,200 --> 01:28:58,080
Speaker 3: There has been nothing like that in the franchise.

1714
01:28:58,120 --> 01:29:00,200
Speaker 2: I was outside the locker room, so I was not

1715
01:29:00,280 --> 01:29:02,240
Speaker 2: in there when all that was going down, but you

1716
01:29:02,240 --> 01:29:05,280
Speaker 2: could hear it from outside in the bowels of hard

1717
01:29:05,360 --> 01:29:07,439
Speaker 2: Rock Stadium. And then we come back on the plane.

1718
01:29:07,439 --> 01:29:10,479
Speaker 2: Get off the plane. Now, I want to remind everybody,

1719
01:29:10,520 --> 01:29:13,200
Speaker 2: it's one thirty in the morning, it's two degrees two

1720
01:29:13,240 --> 01:29:17,920
Speaker 2: degrees outside, and there's about two thousand, probably about a

1721
01:29:17,960 --> 01:29:22,560
Speaker 2: thousand people out there to welcome them back. It was unbelievable.

1722
01:29:22,600 --> 01:29:24,040
Speaker 2: I will never forget that day.

1723
01:29:24,120 --> 01:29:26,800
Speaker 3: It was an absolutely great, absolutely great moment, one of

1724
01:29:26,800 --> 01:29:29,120
Speaker 3: the all time moments in franchise history. And I think

1725
01:29:29,160 --> 01:29:31,280
Speaker 3: it's I think it might be my favorite, even the

1726
01:29:31,280 --> 01:29:34,559
Speaker 3: ones I took. Wow, and it was really your favorite,

1727
01:29:34,800 --> 01:29:37,920
Speaker 3: I think, so that's amazing. I love my guys, but man,

1728
01:29:37,920 --> 01:29:39,360
Speaker 3: oh man, that was pretty special.

1729
01:29:39,400 --> 01:29:41,000
Speaker 2: It was a big one. We waited a long time

1730
01:29:41,040 --> 01:29:43,559
Speaker 2: for it. That's it for us today. Happy New Year, everybody,

1731
01:29:43,600 --> 01:29:56,720
Speaker 2: no show tomorrow. We'll see you on Thursday.
