1 00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:10,680 Speaker 1: At a Steve Tasker who has been all over the field. 2 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:12,400 Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role 3 00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:18,840 Speaker 1: player for you, Steve, Steve a blimp. We're not even 4 00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:24,680 Speaker 1: in the strated fere of normalcy.

Right, So, because she just got married 12 00:00:55,680 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 1: and I'm sitting on her office, is a little bit 13 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 1: different than like you're in mind, I'm sitting on a 14 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 1: like a big rubber ball here. Oh, work the abs 15 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:13,440 Speaker 1: at different, right, it's not. Yeah, I gotta get used 16 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,200 Speaker 1: to it. Yeah, you're gonna be working your abs more 17 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 1: than you think sitting there for a couple of hours. Um, yeah, 18 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:24,119 Speaker 1: it's all right though. Yeah, so right up here, Yeah, 19 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 1: I think I was. I think I just gonna stay here. 20 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 1: How much colder is it? It's cold? Okay, it's cold. 21 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 1: The daytime. Uh, it was in the thirty it's in 22 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 1: the thirties. Wow. Okay. They say it's been a little 23 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,120 Speaker 1: unseasonably chilly up here since we got up We've been 24 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 1: up here for a while now, and uh, I think 25 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 1: that's what they always been. Yeah, but we've been up 26 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 1: here before, and I think they're right. This is unseasonably chilly. 27 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 1: But it's you know, it's daylight up here. Uh it's 28 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 1: nine o'clock in the morning here, just after and it's 29 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 1: all cold. The leaves are just coming off the trees. Now. 30 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 1: Oh okay, So they had some snow while we were 31 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 1: up here. Then they were getting some tree damage up here. 32 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 1: So okay, yeah, all right, Well that's good. Glad you're well. Uh, 33 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 1: we're We've got a jam pack show for everybody today. 34 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 1: We'll get to the rundown in just a second, but 35 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 1: we want to bring the Bill's news and notes to 36 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 1: the forefront first here, and chief among them is the 37 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:36,799 Speaker 1: injury situation. So not practicing today. Two new players, Taiwan 38 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 1: Jones and Greg Rousseau, who is dealing with a toe injury. 39 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:42,919 Speaker 1: Now I did see him out there at practice walking 40 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: around with his teammates, so Hopefully that's a good sign, 41 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: because if it's really bad, they usually just leave the 42 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 1: guy inside and say stay off your feet. But he 43 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:56,800 Speaker 1: is out there at practice observing and then limited today 44 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,080 Speaker 1: Jordan Poyer who missed last week's game with an angle injury, 45 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:05,359 Speaker 1: Tredevius White who has got a bit of a shoulder 46 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 1: issue that he's dealing with according to coach McDermott, and 47 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 1: then John Feliciano limited in practice coming back from the 48 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,080 Speaker 1: concussion that kept him out of last week's game. On 49 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,520 Speaker 1: the good side, tarn Johnson is back and he is 50 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:22,080 Speaker 1: full go. So that's important in light of the weapons 51 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 1: that the Bills are going to be going against in 52 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 1: that Chief's offense for sure. The other note, Tremaine Edmund's 53 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,920 Speaker 1: named AFC Defensive Player of the Week after his six 54 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 1: tackle interception performance in last week's shutout of the Texans. 55 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 1: So again I have a couple of people to monitor 56 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 1: here through the west rest of the week. Steve, Yeah, 57 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 1: it's that point of the season. But Milano's hamstring, for 58 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 1: anybody's had one, take one wrong step and you're right 59 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 1: back to square one. I would I might be a 60 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 1: little surprised if he's able to go this week. Well, 61 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 1: Rousseau's toe and it's interesting toe, and they say toe injury. 62 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 1: Not only do you have ten of them, there's about 63 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 1: ten different types of injury you can get too. So 64 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 1: if it's a turf toe, that's a little bit of 65 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 1: an issue, I think. Yeah, if it's something other than that, 66 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 1: like a you know, like a busted toe or something 67 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 1: like that, or you know, you got stepped on or 68 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 1: something like that, who knows, it could be anything. Yeah, 69 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 1: it could be anything but poor your ankle. Trey White 70 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 1: and those guys. Feliciano you gotta think he's trying to 71 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 1: get back in the in the game. But Milano is 72 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 1: the one and Rousseau, I think, are the ones that 73 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,919 Speaker 1: are the most worrisome. Because Poorer's had a week off already, 74 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 1: at two weeks off and limited and getting back into it, 75 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 1: I'm pretty confident he'll be able to go. Yeah, because Johnson, 76 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,159 Speaker 1: of course is back in the saddle. Yeah. I mean, 77 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:52,599 Speaker 1: Poorer and Milano are important components to dealing with Kelsey, 78 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 1: as we know at least in past meetings, and if 79 00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 1: you're missing one of them, you're already shorthanded. I don't 80 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 1: think we anticipate they'll be missing both of them. The Chiefs, 81 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 1: interestingly enough Steve, are also dealing with injuries on their 82 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 1: defensive side of the football. Last week, Rashad Fenton, one 83 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 1: of their top three corners, was inactive with a concussion 84 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 1: and a hamstring injury. Jarvarius Ward was inactive with a 85 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,240 Speaker 1: quad injury. He's another one of their corners. And then 86 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:29,160 Speaker 1: Frank Clark has missed two games now, inactive last week 87 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 1: as well. He's dealing with a hamstring injury, one of 88 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 1: their best pass rushers. So it's gonna be interesting to 89 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 1: see what the Chiefs injury report looks like this week. 90 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 1: Because hamstring injuries, I don't have to tell you this, 91 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,159 Speaker 1: but they can linger, especially if they're above like a 92 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 1: grade one string. You get into grade two, grade three, 93 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:52,280 Speaker 1: you're talking multiple games, multiple weeks. Yeah, And it's like 94 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,159 Speaker 1: I said with Milano, it's going to come down to 95 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 1: how bad it was and how quickly you can pull 96 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 1: up when you start to feel it go get pulled. 97 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 1: How much damage is there? I mean, yeah, and it's 98 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 1: a nagger too, so you can and the Bills in 99 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 1: the past, we've talked about this under Sean McDermott, and 100 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 1: this coaching staff and what the way they run things. 101 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,679 Speaker 1: You're out with a hamstring until you're one hundred percent, 102 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 1: then you come back and there's there's no looking back. 103 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 1: You may take a while on the front end, but 104 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 1: they always seem to give him that extra week. And 105 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 1: this may be the week for you know, Milano to 106 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,039 Speaker 1: sit down again and make sure he's one hundred percent 107 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:31,039 Speaker 1: healthy for the next game, which is in Tennessee. But 108 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 1: no question in the locker room, Brownie, you'd know the 109 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 1: players are all there's an I remember games like this. 110 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 1: There's a ton of stress in the locker room about 111 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,360 Speaker 1: guys getting ready to play and being on the field 112 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 1: for their teammates. They really feel it. So we'll see 113 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 1: if that, if that, you know, has any effect on 114 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 1: who's available and who's not come Sunday. Right, So Milano, 115 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 1: so it's clear what won't practice either. I don't know 116 00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 1: if I mentioned him in the initial run through there 117 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 1: he is not practicing as well. So guys to monitor 118 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:07,280 Speaker 1: through the course of the week for sure. Interesting news 119 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 1: around the league, Steve, probably the headline grabber is Stefan Gilmour, 120 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 1: released by the Patriots. He has been on the physically 121 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 1: Unable to perform list, but should be good to go 122 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,119 Speaker 1: in a couple of weeks coming back from a bad 123 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 1: quad injury. And you know they've parted ways. We've seen 124 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 1: this before. Heck, we've seen it before with defensive backs, 125 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 1: ty law lawyer Malloy. I mean, big name Pro Bowl 126 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 1: caliber players who have been shown the door in New 127 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 1: England if the contract terms on a new deal cannot 128 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,559 Speaker 1: be agreed upon. And I still remember talking to lawyer 129 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 1: Malloy about it when he came here to Buffalo, and 130 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 1: he basically said, they told me they would be willing 131 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 1: to do this, take it or leave it, and if 132 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 1: you don't take it by this day, we're going to 133 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 1: cut you on that day. And then they cut him 134 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 1: the day earlier then the date they told him they 135 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 1: would cut him. Um, right, they don't mess around. They 136 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 1: don't disrupt what they believe is their salary cap structure, 137 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 1: almost no matter who it is. Yeah. Absolutely, Well, I 138 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 1: mean look at the quarterback in Tampa Bay. Well, yeah, 139 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 1: oh your van Noy left, now he's back. Collins left, 140 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 1: now he's back. Ted Carriss left, now he's back. Um, 141 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 1: guys leave because they'll go and hit a home run 142 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 1: on a free agent contract and that's that. And then 143 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 1: they can't cut it at another you know, in another place, 144 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,679 Speaker 1: and they you know, the Patriots bring him back. Patriots 145 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 1: do things differently, there's no question about it. I mean, 146 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 1: and you know they've won a lot of games, no question. 147 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:50,680 Speaker 1: But uh, this is not something new and no matter. 148 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 1: I mean, Gilmore is the defensive Player of the Year 149 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:58,200 Speaker 1: two years ago. So thirty one, like, this guy's done. Yeah, 150 00:08:58,200 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 1: he's thirty one years old. I think he's got a 151 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:05,080 Speaker 1: football left in him. And he is a dedicated professional. 152 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,840 Speaker 1: I mean just from being around him here for the 153 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 1: first four or five years of his career. The guy 154 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 1: is a dedicated athlete, dedicated to his craft in every way, 155 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 1: shape and form. So you'd be getting a quality player 156 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 1: who I think we would all presume is doing all 157 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 1: the right things to be physically ready coming off the 158 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 1: pup list. Patriots had some other news. They put left 159 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 1: tackle Isaiah Win and left guard Mike on when You 160 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 1: on the COVID nineteen list. So we're gonna have to 161 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 1: see how that progresses through the course of the week 162 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:39,440 Speaker 1: to see if they're starting left tackle and starting left 163 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,319 Speaker 1: guard are available for their game on Sunday. It may 164 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 1: not matter they're playing the Texans, So just something to 165 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 1: keep an eye on with that. And then Josh Gordon, 166 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 1: as we know, signed to the active roster for the Chiefs, 167 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,439 Speaker 1: and the reports now are he is expected to play 168 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 1: on Sunday. Steve, My anticipation is he's gonna have a 169 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,320 Speaker 1: package role. They're gonna just send him on a bunch 170 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 1: of nine routes to try to force Buffalo to respect 171 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 1: him deep, create space underneath for Hill and Kelsey, and 172 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 1: off they go. Yeah, and I think it'll be a 173 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 1: little bit about how the game goes as well. So 174 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 1: for instance, if the Chiefs jump out to a lead, 175 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,079 Speaker 1: they may throw him in there a bunch and get 176 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,839 Speaker 1: him acclimated, get him some game reps, and throw them 177 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 1: out there a ton. If it's if it's one of 178 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:27,720 Speaker 1: those tight games where they're you know, the play calls 179 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:29,680 Speaker 1: are going to be in and out and Mahomes is 180 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 1: gonna have to be doing some stuff at the line. 181 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,320 Speaker 1: You know, Josh Gordon's not going to be able to 182 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 1: hang in there with that kind of verbiage and that 183 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 1: kind of nimbleness on offense. They'll have some like you said, 184 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 1: they'll have a package for him. But if this game 185 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 1: goes really well for the Chiefs, they'll try and work 186 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 1: him in to get him some extra reps, you know, 187 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 1: if they've got to cushion that kind of thing. If 188 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 1: it does not, he'll play less and less in my opinion, 189 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And and you know, in 190 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 1: a close game or a loss or a losing situation 191 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 1: for the Chiefs, Ordon doesn't see the field, he may 192 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 1: get in for that package of plays. If if the 193 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,320 Speaker 1: Chiefs run out and shift gears and get up on 194 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:12,560 Speaker 1: the bills, he may get in there a lot. They 195 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 1: may get in there a lot just to say, okay, 196 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 1: let's see what you got kind of thing. So this 197 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,080 Speaker 1: just in Steve. So we saw the announcement this morning 198 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:24,439 Speaker 1: where the report said, oh, the Patriots are going to 199 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 1: be cutting Stefan Gilmore. There were some in NFL media 200 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:33,679 Speaker 1: circles that speculated that the Patriots threw that out as 201 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 1: a smoke signal, as an indication to anybody else that 202 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 1: might be interested in Gilmore to see if they could 203 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,839 Speaker 1: still work a trade and get something in return. It 204 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,839 Speaker 1: looks like that, in fact has happened, because before four 205 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 1: o'clock today when they were going to release him, the 206 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,679 Speaker 1: Panthers have swooped in and they have traded for Stefan Gilmore. 207 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:56,440 Speaker 1: That according to NFL Networks Ian Rappaport, and Gilmore gets 208 00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,960 Speaker 1: to go home and the Panthers need a starting corner 209 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 1: because their first round pick J. C. Horne is out 210 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:04,839 Speaker 1: for the year with a season ending injury. I believe, 211 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:09,320 Speaker 1: so this is a good ad for them, Steve. I 212 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,560 Speaker 1: know I told you back in the spring the Carolina 213 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 1: Panthers are going to be a sneaky, tough game for 214 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 1: the Bills late in the season. Yeah, all the more 215 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:19,079 Speaker 1: reason to believe that. Now they have a good defense already, 216 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:23,440 Speaker 1: It gets even better now. And you know the NFC West, 217 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 1: those teams are gonna beaten up on each other all 218 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 1: season long. You're a team like the Panthers in a 219 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 1: suddenly depressed NFC South, with the exception of Tampa Bay. 220 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,200 Speaker 1: Why not load up here and see how far you 221 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:40,200 Speaker 1: can get. Here's what I like about the Panthers Matt 222 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 1: Rule is he's a really great leader. Their players love him, 223 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:49,560 Speaker 1: their fans love him. Certainly, they had a little bit 224 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 1: of a gutted situation. You know, Ron rivera left, and 225 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,120 Speaker 1: anytime you get a new hoot head coach in there, 226 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,200 Speaker 1: you're gonna have some things to rebuild and have to 227 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,839 Speaker 1: mold the team the way you want it, kind of 228 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,439 Speaker 1: working with pieces that are left over. I don't think 229 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,680 Speaker 1: the cupboard was completely bereft of talent when he got there, 230 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 1: but certainly they had some work to do. And I 231 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 1: think Matt Rule and the program he's putting together down 232 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 1: there really seems to have the vibe that they are 233 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:15,959 Speaker 1: going to be a little bit a lot like Sean 234 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,960 Speaker 1: McDermott and this crew here. They're gonna get better as 235 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,480 Speaker 1: the season rolls on, and this is a this is 236 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,000 Speaker 1: a big step towards doing that. You get a guy 237 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,679 Speaker 1: of Steph Gilmour's caliber, he give him a couple of 238 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 1: weeks and he'll be playing really good corner for them. 239 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 1: I still don't think Matt Rule has got the Carolina 240 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,840 Speaker 1: roster exactly where he wants it, you know, he's still 241 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:39,840 Speaker 1: I still don't think it's as deep as they would 242 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 1: like it to be. But man, oh man, I think 243 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 1: they're getting better. I think they're getting better every week, 244 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 1: and whether they win or lose, I still think they 245 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,439 Speaker 1: like the direction of the vibe in their locker room 246 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,640 Speaker 1: and what's happening on the field for them, and Man, 247 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:56,600 Speaker 1: getting a guy like Steph Gilmore, think about what it 248 00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,120 Speaker 1: does for the rest of the locker room. Brownie. You 249 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 1: know you got the defensive player of the year two 250 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:03,720 Speaker 1: years ago and he's coming into your locker room going 251 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 1: to help you win. Man, it's a lift. Whether he 252 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:11,280 Speaker 1: plays right well right away or not, it's a real 253 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:15,720 Speaker 1: signal for the roster that mantle Man, we're doing some 254 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,119 Speaker 1: things that So I think it's really good for Carolina 255 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 1: going forward. And all they gave up was a sixth 256 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,520 Speaker 1: round pick in twenty twenty three, but are really smart 257 00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:25,200 Speaker 1: moved by the Patriots put the word out in the 258 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,240 Speaker 1: morning that you're cutting him by the end of business today. 259 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 1: See if you can spark some interest. That happened, And 260 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 1: now Stefan Gilmore is a Carolina Panther, Rockhill, South Carolina 261 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 1: native is now going to be playing professional football about 262 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,440 Speaker 1: twenty minutes from his house where he grew up. So 263 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:42,920 Speaker 1: kind of cool for him on the back half of 264 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 1: his career to be able to do that. And he's 265 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 1: gonna be doing it for a pretty decent team here. 266 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 1: So a team that's certainly on the way up in 267 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 1: the eyes of a lot of people around the league. 268 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 1: So that is done. Meanwhile, the Patriots have signed Jamie Collins. 269 00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 1: As we mentioned for the third time, this is his 270 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 1: third hint with the Patriots, talk about not he was 271 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 1: in Cleveland, came back, went to Detroit, came back. So yeah, 272 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:12,479 Speaker 1: and he's probably played his best football for the Patriots 273 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 1: over the span of his career. So I guess we'll 274 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 1: see where that goes. And he comes over back from 275 00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,520 Speaker 1: the Detroit right yeah, where Patricia had him before he 276 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 1: got fired. You know, you really scratch your head and 277 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 1: wonder why a team like Detroit doesn't need a guy 278 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:37,080 Speaker 1: like that who's owing four. Yeah, I don't know. And 279 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 1: then a team with one of the top defenses in 280 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 1: the league, like New England, even though they're one and three, says, 281 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:49,160 Speaker 1: you know what, we need that guy. That is some 282 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:53,920 Speaker 1: pretty specific player evaluation going on. Yeah, and I've heard 283 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 1: two I read too that it might be about the 284 00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:00,160 Speaker 1: way that high Towers playing right now as my which 285 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 1: is just um uh, you know, having a guy come back, 286 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 1: but Jamie Collins come back, Yeah, I think it's a 287 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 1: lot better. What's going on there now rather than what 288 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,680 Speaker 1: they needed. You know, they're just trying to they're trying 289 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 1: to get something they can depend on. It Jamie Collins 290 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:17,760 Speaker 1: gives them at least something they can depend on. He's 291 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 1: got a track, right or not? Because I heard it's 292 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:25,560 Speaker 1: been conjectured that, you know, high Tower, Jamie high Tower 293 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:30,240 Speaker 1: isn't isn't right, He's not playing well enough. But you know, 294 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,280 Speaker 1: Jamie Collins a linebacker, he has trouble running man. He's 295 00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 1: not very fast. Yeah, he was more athletic younger in 296 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,640 Speaker 1: his career, but he's probably still more athletic than Dante 297 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 1: High Tower, right, So I'm maybe that has to do 298 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,280 Speaker 1: with it. Who knows, he might only be there a 299 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,280 Speaker 1: week or two if he doesn't get if he doesn't work, 300 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 1: they might just clip him again. Right. They just clipped 301 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 1: Steph Gilmour, who's a Defensive Player of the Year for him. 302 00:16:56,240 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 1: You think they're gonna hesitate to clip Jamie as if 303 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:06,919 Speaker 1: it in two weeks. No, but you're right that that 304 00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 1: to me is really really intriguing. I don't know what 305 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:12,680 Speaker 1: they see and am They've been doing it this way 306 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:16,840 Speaker 1: for a long time, you know, I know I wasn't 307 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 1: around the last couple of days. But you know, the 308 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 1: Sunday night game again from between Tampa Bay and New England. 309 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:27,200 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know how much the rain 310 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:30,919 Speaker 1: really bothered the quarterback. I know it bothered you know, 311 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,680 Speaker 1: everybody across the Northeast over the weekend. Josh and these 312 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,520 Speaker 1: guys played, you know, in a driving rain storm. But 313 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 1: I'm telling you what, I don't know that I would 314 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,080 Speaker 1: really have loved to see that game take place in 315 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 1: a good weather because I think I think Tom Brady 316 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:47,720 Speaker 1: would have torn up. I really do, But I don't know. Yeah, 317 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:51,600 Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean Belichick through the kitchen sink, Adam, 318 00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:56,960 Speaker 1: and you know they squeezed out nineteen points, so he 319 00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 1: can still draw up a good defense no matter who 320 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:02,960 Speaker 1: it is. The weather probably helped, I agree, But still 321 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:06,840 Speaker 1: in all, you would have liked to have seen a 322 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,680 Speaker 1: beat down. But I'll take it. It still knocks the 323 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 1: Patriots down to one in three, and everybody else in 324 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,200 Speaker 1: the division is looking up at Buffalo just one month 325 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,720 Speaker 1: into the season, So that's all good as far as 326 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:21,160 Speaker 1: I'm concerned. And I don't think Tampa Bay is playing 327 00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,440 Speaker 1: their best football right now either. I think they're very 328 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,920 Speaker 1: beatable team, committing a ton of penalties. I think they 329 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:31,119 Speaker 1: lead the league in penalties, and you know, Bruce arians 330 00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 1: teams have never been known to be, you know, super discipline. 331 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:38,959 Speaker 1: That's kind of a hang loose type operation. So yeah, 332 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:40,760 Speaker 1: I mean, it'd be interesting to see how the rest 333 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:42,520 Speaker 1: of the season unfolds before the Bills have to go 334 00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 1: down there and play the Bucks. But I just, uh, 335 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:47,440 Speaker 1: I kind of wonder if they're not what they used 336 00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 1: to be. Jason Pierre Paul is still on the injured list, 337 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:54,600 Speaker 1: so you know, think about this though, Broudiot, I've been 338 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 1: thinking a lot about this the Bills. You know that 339 00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,359 Speaker 1: the Bills stumble out of the gate against Pittsburgh, score 340 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:01,920 Speaker 1: sixteen points, and then all of a sudden, it's thirty five, nothing, 341 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:05,040 Speaker 1: is forty three, twenty one, and it's forty to nothing. 342 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,920 Speaker 1: I've said this before about other teams, and I said 343 00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,200 Speaker 1: a little bit like about the Bills last year, although 344 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,360 Speaker 1: I didn't see it really happened with the Bills last year. 345 00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 1: So you know, it gives me some positive thoughts about 346 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 1: how it's going to go this year. But some of 347 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:24,040 Speaker 1: these teams, particularly in a seventeen game schedule. It is 348 00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 1: a long season to play really good football from front 349 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:32,240 Speaker 1: to back, start to finish. It's hard to sustain a 350 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,640 Speaker 1: level of excellence from week one, Week two, Week three, 351 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:40,159 Speaker 1: all the week way through week thirteen, fourteen fifteen. You know, 352 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:45,439 Speaker 1: I think you want a crescendo so you feel fresh 353 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 1: and rejuvenated at the end when the games. You know, 354 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 1: when you're in the playoffs, you got a chance at 355 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 1: the super Bowl, then playing lights out through the first 356 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,640 Speaker 1: three months of the season and then stumble to the finish. Yeah, 357 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 1: like we saw the Pittsburgh Steelers do last year, starting 358 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,879 Speaker 1: out eleven and zero and then going what one and 359 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:09,880 Speaker 1: four down the stretch. It's hard to do it. It's 360 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:13,200 Speaker 1: hard to do it. And you know, we were talking 361 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:16,160 Speaker 1: about how the Carolina Panthers and the Buffalo Bills, over 362 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,400 Speaker 1: the course of these coaching staffs have gotten better throughout seasons. 363 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:23,440 Speaker 1: It's hard to go. It's hard to beat a team 364 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,480 Speaker 1: forty to nothing and play better than that. Well, that's right, 365 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:28,720 Speaker 1: not to mention the fact that in each of the 366 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:33,160 Speaker 1: last three games you've played backup quarterbacks. I mean, you're 367 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,159 Speaker 1: going You're going from the bottom of the mountain right 368 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:38,280 Speaker 1: to the top in the span of a week. It's 369 00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:40,480 Speaker 1: gonna look a lot different on defense for the Bills 370 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,520 Speaker 1: this week than it did last week. So yeah, I 371 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:47,680 Speaker 1: mean they've played good, but like you said, I mean 372 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:51,639 Speaker 1: we're not The Bills are gonna crush a lot of 373 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 1: teams on this schedule. There's only like three games on 374 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:58,399 Speaker 1: the rest of the way that look well, Okay, the 375 00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 1: two Patriot games they're gonna be those are gonna be 376 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:07,920 Speaker 1: dog fights. The Buccaneers, yeah, the Chiefs, yeah, okay, then 377 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 1: it's Jacksonville, It's the Jets, you know. Yeah, I mean 378 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:18,080 Speaker 1: it's the Bills have and especially after a week month 379 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 1: of the season, we take a win loss records into consideration, 380 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:28,359 Speaker 1: the Bills have got i mean a cakewalk of a schedule. No, 381 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:30,440 Speaker 1: none of these I'm saying that. I'm kind of exaggerating 382 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,440 Speaker 1: to make a point because it's not an easy schedule, 383 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:36,080 Speaker 1: but it's not like it was last year when they're 384 00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 1: playing in San Francisco, Seattle, the Rams, and the Cardinals, 385 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,480 Speaker 1: and that schedule will be even harder this year with 386 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:47,199 Speaker 1: the way those teams have all improved. Yeah, so I 387 00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 1: really think this is gonna be a team that's we 388 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:53,720 Speaker 1: saw it I still and people tell this, I don't 389 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:55,160 Speaker 1: know what I like to get your take on because 390 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:58,000 Speaker 1: we haven't spoken for a while. I still don't think 391 00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 1: the Bills have played their best football. No question, they 392 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,600 Speaker 1: beat a team forty to nothing, but they had not 393 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,399 Speaker 1: play No. Eight three of seven in the red zone 394 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 1: last week. That's not at their best and they're gonna 395 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 1: have to be better down there. Because the Chiefs are 396 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:15,159 Speaker 1: in the red zone, they're getting touchdowns almost eighty percent 397 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,640 Speaker 1: of the time. I mean, they're really I think hitting 398 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,600 Speaker 1: at a high clip. One of the one of the 399 00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,040 Speaker 1: things I've noticed early on in this season for the 400 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:27,159 Speaker 1: Bills is, and I'm kind of comparing it to the 401 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:30,119 Speaker 1: juggernaut of a season they had last year, their third 402 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:33,119 Speaker 1: down efficiency isn't exactly as high as it was a 403 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:37,400 Speaker 1: year ago. And their short yardage goal line offense it's 404 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:41,960 Speaker 1: been pretty good, but their red zone offense has not been. 405 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,120 Speaker 1: Those are the kind of things that like just observations. 406 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:48,680 Speaker 1: I haven't seen the statistics on it, but they're not 407 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:51,920 Speaker 1: they're not. Those are the only situations where I see 408 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:56,080 Speaker 1: a vast difference this Bill's offense. Jo Josh on third down, 409 00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,639 Speaker 1: his numbers aren't great either he's only completing about fifty 410 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,480 Speaker 1: three percent of his passes, which is really low, and 411 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 1: that's hurting. Also in terms of the execution for whatever reason. 412 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,520 Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's just him being inaccurate. Sometimes it's pressure. 413 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:11,199 Speaker 1: Sometimes it's a miscommunication with the receivers. Sometimes it's just 414 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 1: an inaccurate throw. But it's a number of things that 415 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:16,640 Speaker 1: have contributed to their I don't want to say they're 416 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,960 Speaker 1: struggling on third down, but last year they led the 417 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,639 Speaker 1: league in the third in third down and you know, 418 00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 1: I know we're splitting hairs here because I think they're 419 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:29,040 Speaker 1: fourth or they're tied for third in third down efficiency. 420 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,800 Speaker 1: And that's with Josh's completion percentage down from what it 421 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:36,639 Speaker 1: usually is. So that's saying something. It's funny how quickly 422 00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:39,639 Speaker 1: we got used to them just converting third downs all 423 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,920 Speaker 1: the time. Yeah, And we saw a little bit against 424 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:45,520 Speaker 1: Houston this last week. You know, it's a third and 425 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:48,639 Speaker 1: twelve and zingo, it goes to Emmanuel Sanders, and you 426 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,360 Speaker 1: know it was last year. I can't tell you how 427 00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 1: unbelievable their third down offense was last year. Yeah, it 428 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:58,080 Speaker 1: was unbelieved. You could not get them off the field, 429 00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:00,480 Speaker 1: and that's really the thing that care them to a 430 00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:03,119 Speaker 1: thirteen and three record. That and they read zone. You 431 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:11,200 Speaker 1: know who's number one and third down conversion right, Kansas City? Yeah, 432 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:13,680 Speaker 1: and they're they're really high right now. I think they're 433 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,480 Speaker 1: over fifty percent last I checked, at least last week 434 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:19,320 Speaker 1: they were. It's if you can't get them off the field, 435 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:21,760 Speaker 1: you can't beat them, all right, So what would be 436 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 1: your guests as to their third down conversion percentage? If 437 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:26,879 Speaker 1: you had to guess what it is, it's leading the 438 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:28,439 Speaker 1: league right now? What would you say it is? And 439 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:30,199 Speaker 1: I'll and I'll tell you right now. I'll give you 440 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,960 Speaker 1: the Bills numbers to help you. So the Bills right 441 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:36,720 Speaker 1: now are tied for third in the league at fifty 442 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:40,359 Speaker 1: percent even conversion percentage on third day. So where do 443 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:46,080 Speaker 1: you think slightly better? Yeah, but that's after four games 444 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:50,480 Speaker 1: and against some week teams. But where do you think 445 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:52,720 Speaker 1: the Chiefs are being number one in the league and 446 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 1: third down conversion? What do you think the number is? 447 00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:00,959 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say fifty five sixty four point one percent 448 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 1: third down conversion rate? Like two? That is insane. That 449 00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:09,639 Speaker 1: for people that are not familiar with those numbers, that 450 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:13,240 Speaker 1: is a dumb number. That's not even human. Crazy number. 451 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:17,080 Speaker 1: That's a crazy number. Yeah, crazy number. And that's why 452 00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:20,400 Speaker 1: Mahomes is near the top and almost everything he's got. 453 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 1: I think he's got fourteen touchdown passes already. He had 454 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,840 Speaker 1: five last week. They went five for five in the 455 00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,359 Speaker 1: red zone. They converted nine of ten on third down 456 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,760 Speaker 1: against a defensive front, which is pretty good in Philadelphia 457 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:37,480 Speaker 1: at least the front four are um just absolutely bananas. 458 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,119 Speaker 1: And that's why you know, I think the defense is 459 00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:42,960 Speaker 1: going to factor in heavily this week into how this 460 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 1: game turns out. But what we want to do today 461 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:49,080 Speaker 1: is get into the psyche, the mental psyche of this 462 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:52,560 Speaker 1: game and the significance of it they'rein. And what we 463 00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,040 Speaker 1: mean by that with respect to the Twitter conversation, is 464 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:59,919 Speaker 1: this which team needs this win more on Sunday night, 465 00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:03,399 Speaker 1: the Chiefs or the Bills. You can let us know 466 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 1: on the tweet sheet at one Bills Live, or you 467 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:07,040 Speaker 1: can call us at eight three five fifty one eight 468 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:09,760 Speaker 1: eight eight five fifty two five fifty and let us 469 00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 1: know what you think, because there are two very different 470 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:15,159 Speaker 1: agendas at play here with this question, Steve as it 471 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:19,960 Speaker 1: pertains to these two teams. I think everybody's familiar with 472 00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,680 Speaker 1: what a win Sunday night would mean for the Bills. 473 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 1: You know, finally slay the dragon, you know, your nemesis 474 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:31,320 Speaker 1: at the top of the AFC mountain, and you get 475 00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:34,320 Speaker 1: a win against them, and it's like, all right, we 476 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,520 Speaker 1: finally might be on our way. We may finally be 477 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,160 Speaker 1: able to break through and get past this godforsaken team 478 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,119 Speaker 1: that doesn't let anybody get to the super Bowl. But 479 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 1: on the other side of the equation, you've got a 480 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 1: Chiefs team that, even though their offense is as high 481 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:51,439 Speaker 1: flying as it's ever been, their defense is in the 482 00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:54,960 Speaker 1: dumpster right now. It is a mess. I mean, they're 483 00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,320 Speaker 1: at the bottom of the league in about ten different 484 00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:02,200 Speaker 1: defensive categories and there's no sign of a changing anytime soon. 485 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,920 Speaker 1: They're also looking up at the rest of the AFC 486 00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 1: West right now at two and two. Yeah, I think 487 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,679 Speaker 1: if they and some of this has to do with 488 00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:15,679 Speaker 1: how this game goes, But right now, I'll tell you this, 489 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:19,000 Speaker 1: right now that the Kansas City Chiefs are thinking for themselves. 490 00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:21,240 Speaker 1: Right now, they're thinking, Okay, this it's us, it's not 491 00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:23,479 Speaker 1: our opponents. We're not playing our best we've had some 492 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:28,040 Speaker 1: breaks we've got you know, they'll there will be you know, 493 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:31,719 Speaker 1: their mindset is gonna be we're better than what we've shown. 494 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:35,880 Speaker 1: So we're gonna get this together. If the Bills roll 495 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,440 Speaker 1: in there and beat them. Now, certainly, if if it's 496 00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:40,520 Speaker 1: a tight game and the same kind of thing happens. 497 00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:43,639 Speaker 1: But if the Bills win this game, if you're a 498 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:45,840 Speaker 1: Kansas City chief, all of a sudden, you're starting to 499 00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:52,040 Speaker 1: say that changes things. That changes things because that's a 500 00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:55,760 Speaker 1: team that you whose number you had pretty handily in 501 00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:57,960 Speaker 1: the AFC Championship game there, and they're gonna start to 502 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,720 Speaker 1: feel a pressure. I think if they go down three 503 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:05,320 Speaker 1: win three losses five games into the season, they'll start 504 00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,680 Speaker 1: to doubt themselves. They'll know this is a good team. 505 00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:11,399 Speaker 1: And I think in their minds, because I was on 506 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:14,399 Speaker 1: a team like this, in their minds, they got a 507 00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:17,160 Speaker 1: switch they can flip, and they're gonna try and flip 508 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:21,680 Speaker 1: that switch this week, and if it doesn't work, it's 509 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:24,040 Speaker 1: gonna cast some doubt in their locker room. I think 510 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:26,680 Speaker 1: it's about their ability to get it done. So while 511 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,120 Speaker 1: it might seem obvious on the surface, there is more 512 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,479 Speaker 1: to it, especially on the chief side of the ledger 513 00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:34,520 Speaker 1: than you might initially anticipate. So give it some thought 514 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:36,560 Speaker 1: and then let us know which team needs to win more. 515 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:40,080 Speaker 1: In Sunday's game between the Chiefs and the Bills, it's 516 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:41,880 Speaker 1: one or the other. So hit us up on the 517 00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:43,480 Speaker 1: tweet sheet a one Bills Live or give us a 518 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:46,320 Speaker 1: call you three, five fifty. We have to take a 519 00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:49,920 Speaker 1: break here, but when we come back, former Chiefs offensive 520 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 1: lyman Joe Valerio joins us covers the Chiefs during the season. 521 00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,680 Speaker 1: He's gonna let us know what the vibe is out 522 00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:03,160 Speaker 1: in KC. After two losses in four games. The offense 523 00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:05,320 Speaker 1: got back on track last week, but they also gave 524 00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,640 Speaker 1: up another thirty burger on defense. What's going on out there? 525 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:10,840 Speaker 1: We'll find out from Joe next here on One Bill's Live, 526 00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:25,440 Speaker 1: presented by Kalid to Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio. All right, 527 00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:27,960 Speaker 1: welcome back Wednesday edition of One Bills Live. Chris Brown, 528 00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:31,560 Speaker 1: Steve Task with you, and please to be joined now 529 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:34,720 Speaker 1: by former Chiefs offensive lineman hosted the Believe in Chiefs 530 00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:37,680 Speaker 1: podcast on the Belief Podcast Network. It is one Joe 531 00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:40,520 Speaker 1: Valerio joining us here to talk some Chiefs Joe, how 532 00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 1: you doing. I'm doing great, Great to be with you guys. 533 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:46,080 Speaker 1: Excited for this this big game. I think that the 534 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:48,280 Speaker 1: Chiefs are starting to find themselves a little bit and 535 00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:51,040 Speaker 1: the Bills are, you know, the hottest team in football, 536 00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:53,200 Speaker 1: so it should be a great matchup. So what about 537 00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:56,720 Speaker 1: to ask you too? Yeah, how important is this for 538 00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:58,560 Speaker 1: the Chiefs? Do you think the Chiefs need this more 539 00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:00,360 Speaker 1: than the Bills? Do? I certainly to win the loss, 540 00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:01,959 Speaker 1: they'd say, yeah, they want to get back in it. 541 00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,240 Speaker 1: But you know, it's a long season. They've got plenty 542 00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:07,480 Speaker 1: of time to gather themselves. But who who's this game 543 00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:11,600 Speaker 1: more important for? In your eyes? Uh? See, that's a 544 00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:13,640 Speaker 1: great question. And I think you know, one of the 545 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,680 Speaker 1: things in football, as you know, sometimes the team that 546 00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:18,880 Speaker 1: wins is the one that needs it more, just for 547 00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:21,320 Speaker 1: whatever reason. I don't know whether it's fate, karma, whatever 548 00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:22,680 Speaker 1: you want to call it, or the way that the 549 00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:25,200 Speaker 1: way that a team approaches it, but I think it's 550 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:27,640 Speaker 1: more important to the Chiefs. I think if the Chiefs 551 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:32,120 Speaker 1: go two and three, um, I just don't. I mean, 552 00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,680 Speaker 1: the AFC West is coming along, I mean, you know, 553 00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:37,160 Speaker 1: San Diego is playing really well. The Raiders or you know, 554 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:40,040 Speaker 1: they're hanging in there. The Broncos always give the Chiefs 555 00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:42,760 Speaker 1: a fight. There's the Browns, the Bills, I mean, the 556 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:45,440 Speaker 1: AFC is is there right now, and I think it's 557 00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:48,200 Speaker 1: much more important to the Chiefs because, uh, you know, 558 00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:51,680 Speaker 1: four and two, you know for the for the Bills, 559 00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:53,800 Speaker 1: or or you know, three and two is a lot 560 00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:57,760 Speaker 1: different um than one or two and three for the Chiefs, 561 00:30:57,760 --> 00:30:59,960 Speaker 1: And I think it sets the Chiefs down a spot. 562 00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:03,040 Speaker 1: They really need this win, going into a little bit 563 00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:05,280 Speaker 1: of a stretcher where they they have some easier games 564 00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:09,440 Speaker 1: coming up. So, Joe, the offense looks like it's back 565 00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:11,600 Speaker 1: on track and is you know, putting up points like 566 00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:15,880 Speaker 1: they usually do. The defense is a much different situation here, 567 00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:19,200 Speaker 1: languishing near the bottom of the league in a multitude 568 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:23,720 Speaker 1: of categories. Versus the run, versus the pass, they're down defense, 569 00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:26,000 Speaker 1: not getting any pass pressure or whatever it is. They're 570 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:29,880 Speaker 1: not doing it well, is it? I know Spagnolo likes 571 00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:33,480 Speaker 1: to be multiple to try to keep offenses off balance, 572 00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:36,680 Speaker 1: but is he is he almost keeping his own players 573 00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,880 Speaker 1: out of sync by being as multiple as he has 574 00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:43,200 Speaker 1: been through these first four weeks. Yeah, No, that's a great, 575 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:46,280 Speaker 1: great question, Chris. I think number one, he's missing a 576 00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:49,720 Speaker 1: few people. And look, there's excuses and there's reasons in life, right, 577 00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:51,560 Speaker 1: you don't want to want it to become an excuse. 578 00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:53,080 Speaker 1: But you know, they don't have Frank Clark, they don't 579 00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,760 Speaker 1: have tre various word. You know, they don't have Willie 580 00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:58,520 Speaker 1: Gate Jr. I mean they're missing some pieces that were 581 00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:01,520 Speaker 1: critical to what you know, Steve runs and that you 582 00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:04,200 Speaker 1: know what we call a four two five, right, it's 583 00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:08,280 Speaker 1: it's heavy defensive back, uh, you know, defense less of 584 00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:11,160 Speaker 1: the left, less of the emphasis on linebackers, and it's 585 00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:13,360 Speaker 1: you're right, it has them out of sorts a little bit. 586 00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:16,480 Speaker 1: And and and I think he's trying to find pieces 587 00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:20,320 Speaker 1: to the puzzle to stop the run, stop the mid 588 00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:22,680 Speaker 1: range passing games. When you when you look at the stats, 589 00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:24,400 Speaker 1: and I'm I like, I love looking at the data 590 00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:26,960 Speaker 1: and the statistics and just kind of like just looking 591 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,680 Speaker 1: at numbers. Right, Granted you don't you don't play the 592 00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,080 Speaker 1: games on paper, and you don't play them in box scores, 593 00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:34,720 Speaker 1: but when you look at what teams have done and 594 00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:37,080 Speaker 1: have been successful against that defense, Number one, they run 595 00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:39,520 Speaker 1: the ball, they win the control game. They keep the 596 00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:42,560 Speaker 1: time of possession in their favor, and they find a 597 00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:46,000 Speaker 1: way to mid range pass you know, eight six to 598 00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:49,560 Speaker 1: let's call it six to fifteen yards when teams have 599 00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:52,240 Speaker 1: been able to do that and combine the run with 600 00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:54,760 Speaker 1: the mid range passing and stretching the field sort of 601 00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:57,600 Speaker 1: horizontally as opposed to you know, the Chiefs don't really 602 00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:00,000 Speaker 1: get beat deep. It's there. It's not a speed issue 603 00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:02,640 Speaker 1: for them on defense. It's the middle. It's the middle 604 00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:05,080 Speaker 1: of the field. And that's to me, that's what's really 605 00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:07,800 Speaker 1: killing them. It's allowing teams to chew up the clock 606 00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:10,719 Speaker 1: and keep you know, the Mahomes magic off the field. 607 00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:13,720 Speaker 1: And I think he's Steve Spagnola has got to come 608 00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:16,560 Speaker 1: up with a solution for the mid range pass and 609 00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,400 Speaker 1: stopping the you know, the runs. And I'm talking about 610 00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:22,640 Speaker 1: the designated runs, right. I mean, you know, I think 611 00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:25,680 Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts, you he ran the ball well the Eagles 612 00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:27,920 Speaker 1: against against the Chiefs, and those were very those were 613 00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:32,040 Speaker 1: designated consistent runs. It wasn't just Jalen Hurts scrambling um. 614 00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:34,600 Speaker 1: Maybe the way Lamar Jackson did a little bit, but 615 00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:36,959 Speaker 1: it's that's to me, that's that they're Achilles heel right 616 00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:38,840 Speaker 1: now for sure, and one of the things to the 617 00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:41,520 Speaker 1: situational football. And they've kind of struggled in the red 618 00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:44,840 Speaker 1: zone this year defensively, and what do you think has 619 00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:47,480 Speaker 1: changed schematically? The Bills have also done the same thing. 620 00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:50,720 Speaker 1: They've struggled offensively in the red zone. But um and 621 00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:55,160 Speaker 1: and the Bills. The Chiefs offense is so you know, 622 00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:58,360 Speaker 1: it's it's got a gear nobody else does, and so 623 00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:00,680 Speaker 1: it kind of covers up a lot of problems. But 624 00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:03,000 Speaker 1: this red zone defensive the Chiefs seems to be a 625 00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:04,800 Speaker 1: little bit different and less effective than it was a 626 00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:07,800 Speaker 1: year goes well, Steve, I think it's a linebacker problem, 627 00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:10,399 Speaker 1: you know, I just don't think they have you know, 628 00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:13,600 Speaker 1: as the field gets shorter and shorter, right, I mean, 629 00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:17,560 Speaker 1: who becomes more important the linebacking, especially in coverage, right, 630 00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:20,080 Speaker 1: you know, because there's only so much feeld you know, 631 00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:22,799 Speaker 1: you have to cover from the defensive back perspective, as 632 00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:24,279 Speaker 1: you know, when you get down in the red zone, 633 00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:27,760 Speaker 1: as things get tighter and tighter, the emphasis is really 634 00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:30,680 Speaker 1: on the defensive line getting pressure, stopping the run. And 635 00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:33,680 Speaker 1: with linebackers and I think that's kind of their their 636 00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:36,240 Speaker 1: weakness right now. I mean, Terram Matthew does a fantastic 637 00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:39,440 Speaker 1: job of coming up and stopping some run plays, but 638 00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:41,520 Speaker 1: you know, he's one guy. He can't he can't be 639 00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:43,759 Speaker 1: all over the field in the red zone. And I 640 00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:46,839 Speaker 1: think it's it's a linebacker issue when it comes to 641 00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:50,520 Speaker 1: red zone defense. And I thought their defensive line was 642 00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:53,120 Speaker 1: going to be super improved this year, Like when they 643 00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:55,359 Speaker 1: signed jarn Reid, I thought, oh God, this is going 644 00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:57,440 Speaker 1: to be he was he was the missing piece right 645 00:34:57,480 --> 00:34:59,840 Speaker 1: The pressure up the middle that moves Chris Jones to 646 00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:02,839 Speaker 1: outside puts him in a better position to be successful. 647 00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:06,080 Speaker 1: And then Willie Gay Junior gets hurt and then we 648 00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:08,480 Speaker 1: have another puzzle piece. And as Frank Clark is out, 649 00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:11,640 Speaker 1: he's dealing with off the field stuff, on the field 650 00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:14,719 Speaker 1: stuff like it's just it's just been like a rotating 651 00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:17,719 Speaker 1: you know, mishmash there on defense. And I think it's 652 00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:20,520 Speaker 1: happening with the front seven as opposed to the back four. 653 00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:24,080 Speaker 1: What what do you make of Chris Jones at the 654 00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:27,560 Speaker 1: end position through the first four weeks, because I've seen 655 00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:30,919 Speaker 1: some you know, takes on it that feels like it's 656 00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:32,960 Speaker 1: gone over like a lead balloon. He hasn't been nearly 657 00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,760 Speaker 1: as effective as he is as a Pro Bowl defensive tackle. 658 00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:39,480 Speaker 1: Knowing spec Manolo is grasping its draws here to try 659 00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:42,600 Speaker 1: to find answers. Could you foresee a scenario where they 660 00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:45,200 Speaker 1: just move him back inside for a game as important 661 00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:48,680 Speaker 1: as this one, I could totally. I could totally see 662 00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:50,920 Speaker 1: them doing that. I really could. I don't think it. 663 00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:54,440 Speaker 1: You know, when I think back to the classic speed rushers, 664 00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:57,160 Speaker 1: the outside rushers, and where where do big tackles have 665 00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:59,680 Speaker 1: a problem they have a problem with with the with 666 00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:02,200 Speaker 1: the offensive ends and the rush linebackers that can dip 667 00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:04,279 Speaker 1: a shoulder. You know, when you get when you get 668 00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:07,399 Speaker 1: a big offensive tackle against a big guy like Chris 669 00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:09,680 Speaker 1: Jones who really was used to playing on the inside, 670 00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:13,160 Speaker 1: I don't think he's able to make the moves and 671 00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:15,560 Speaker 1: get pressure from the outside the way that he was 672 00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:17,279 Speaker 1: able to when he got the push in the middle 673 00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:20,600 Speaker 1: of the pocket. So they probably saw some things in 674 00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:24,879 Speaker 1: practice or you know in different film that he has 675 00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:28,080 Speaker 1: on him rushing from the outside. That it's whether whether 676 00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:30,520 Speaker 1: the offensive tackles and the other coordinators are getting a 677 00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:32,759 Speaker 1: lot of film on him now they've kind of negated him. 678 00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:35,440 Speaker 1: I think from the outside, I think they'd be they'd 679 00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:37,239 Speaker 1: be better off putting him back in the inside. Maybe 680 00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:39,600 Speaker 1: he and Jarn Reid could be a great combo on 681 00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:42,160 Speaker 1: the inside and then but then they're gonna have to 682 00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:44,319 Speaker 1: work on the outside rush and right now they don't 683 00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:48,520 Speaker 1: have that with Frank Clark. Alless, I'm doing a full 684 00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:51,160 Speaker 1: circle to your original question, like, this is the puzzle 685 00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:53,920 Speaker 1: that Steve Spagnola is dealing with, what he's trying to 686 00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:56,279 Speaker 1: do to put this thing together, and and it just 687 00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:58,480 Speaker 1: kind of works. It's like circular reasoning. We just keep 688 00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:01,040 Speaker 1: coming up with the same issues, and I just I 689 00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:04,560 Speaker 1: feel for him at this point. And it seems as 690 00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:08,359 Speaker 1: though once again the Chiefs, you know, they've got all 691 00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:11,239 Speaker 1: kinds of offensive weapons. How do you think, Andy Reid, 692 00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:14,600 Speaker 1: what's your anticipation of how Josh Gordon's going to be 693 00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:17,480 Speaker 1: mixed in this week if he's indeed active, Well, you know, 694 00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:20,640 Speaker 1: Steve he brings, he brings a dimension that the Chiefs 695 00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:23,040 Speaker 1: have never really had, right, I mean, they've never had 696 00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:24,879 Speaker 1: I call them, you know, just of course I'm I'm 697 00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:26,400 Speaker 1: old school. When I go back to the names that 698 00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:29,040 Speaker 1: I know, you know, they don't have the Terrell Owens, 699 00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:32,000 Speaker 1: the Randy Moss. They've never really had that in this offense. Um. 700 00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:35,520 Speaker 1: I was also I had this little conspiracy theory. I 701 00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:38,799 Speaker 1: didn't didn't corroborate it with anybody, but I had this 702 00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:41,719 Speaker 1: this theory that they were bringing him in for practice 703 00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:44,040 Speaker 1: because they need to practice against a guy like that, 704 00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:46,480 Speaker 1: right think about it. They didn't even have anybody even 705 00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:50,200 Speaker 1: on the roster to emulate or simulate, you know, the 706 00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:53,279 Speaker 1: Josh Gordon type receiver that sometimes kills the Chiefs, right. 707 00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:54,839 Speaker 1: So I was thinking, oh, that was a good move, 708 00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:57,560 Speaker 1: like bring him in for practice so that when when 709 00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:00,720 Speaker 1: you know, when they're when they're running their Evan on sevens, 710 00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:02,720 Speaker 1: they have a guy like Josh Gordon on the roster 711 00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:04,719 Speaker 1: that can give them a look. Because what were you 712 00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:07,240 Speaker 1: supposed to do, like run Travis Kelsey at that position, 713 00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:10,319 Speaker 1: like you know, you're not going to run him in practice, right, uh, 714 00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:13,359 Speaker 1: you know, going against the one offense. So number one, 715 00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:15,200 Speaker 1: I thought that was a good move from that perspective, 716 00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:17,759 Speaker 1: and then I started thinking, well, Okay, now as I'm 717 00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:21,680 Speaker 1: watching this offense unfold and they're starting to really get 718 00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:24,360 Speaker 1: an idea of where Travis three guard and I know 719 00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:27,840 Speaker 1: you know, right now, look Terrek Hill and Travis Kelsey, 720 00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:30,960 Speaker 1: it seems like they're in a seesaw. Each of them 721 00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:35,000 Speaker 1: doesn't have a spectacular game together right there. It's almost 722 00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:38,120 Speaker 1: like they're mutually exclusive. When Tarik is on, it seems 723 00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:40,360 Speaker 1: like it's his day, and then you know, Travis is 724 00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:43,239 Speaker 1: in the background, and vice versa. And I think what 725 00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:46,160 Speaker 1: maybe Eric bi Enemy and Andy Reid and their laboratory 726 00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:49,759 Speaker 1: is they're, you know, contacting a new formula. Is you know, 727 00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:53,000 Speaker 1: somebody's going to figure this out. And once you stop 728 00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:57,080 Speaker 1: Tyreek and Travis on the same day, jeez, they're in trouble. 729 00:38:57,160 --> 00:38:59,600 Speaker 1: I mean, obviously, I think Clyde Edwards Hilaire is really 730 00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:02,120 Speaker 1: coming into his own. I think the running game with 731 00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:05,279 Speaker 1: this new fresh offensive line is getting it done. But 732 00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:06,920 Speaker 1: I think he can have a great impact. So that's 733 00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:09,560 Speaker 1: a really long answer to a really short question. I 734 00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:11,279 Speaker 1: think he can have an impact. I think he gives 735 00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:14,200 Speaker 1: them a dimension that they've never really had. And hopefully, 736 00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:16,680 Speaker 1: you know, for the Chiefs fans to Andy and Eric 737 00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:19,480 Speaker 1: can talk something to get him, get him active in 738 00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:23,799 Speaker 1: the you know, in the scheme, you mentioned the offensive line, 739 00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:27,080 Speaker 1: which looks dramatically different from when the Bills played against 740 00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:29,719 Speaker 1: it the last time. I don't have to tell you 741 00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:32,760 Speaker 1: this being a former alignment yourself, Joe, but it takes 742 00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:35,600 Speaker 1: some time to fit all those new pieces together, no 743 00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:37,520 Speaker 1: matter how talented they are. And I think we'd all 744 00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:40,799 Speaker 1: agree guys like Orlando Brown and Joe Tuney, these are 745 00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:42,960 Speaker 1: talented players. But you got a rookie at center and 746 00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:47,399 Speaker 1: Creed Humphrey. So what has the general consensus been as 747 00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:50,080 Speaker 1: to how that fit has gone through the first month 748 00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:54,160 Speaker 1: of the season. Yeah, I mean, like we have my 749 00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:56,480 Speaker 1: partner on our Belief podcast, Jeff and I always talk 750 00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:59,759 Speaker 1: about September is the new offseason, right, September is the 751 00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:02,759 Speaker 1: new preseason, because you know, you just don't have the 752 00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:04,759 Speaker 1: same like when Steve and I were playing, man, it 753 00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:06,879 Speaker 1: was we used to say in Kansas City, Marty time 754 00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:11,080 Speaker 1: was Lombardi time, like we played, we played full preseason games, 755 00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:13,560 Speaker 1: like we we hit every day, and like you were 756 00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:16,960 Speaker 1: ready when the season started. So I really give Andy 757 00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:19,239 Speaker 1: Heckt that Chiefs a lot of credit with this new 758 00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:22,280 Speaker 1: line and that they are playing this well this early 759 00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:25,520 Speaker 1: in the season without really having the true off season 760 00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:27,960 Speaker 1: that we were used to. When you know, before all 761 00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:31,480 Speaker 1: this new collective bargaining agreement stuff happened. And you know, 762 00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:34,160 Speaker 1: I I think, you know, we know, we knew Joe 763 00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:36,680 Speaker 1: Tuney was gonna was gonna be, you know, a veteran leader. 764 00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:39,640 Speaker 1: Orlando Brown. I think is really was a solid pickup. 765 00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:42,560 Speaker 1: I mean, uh, you know, but having the three air 766 00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:46,160 Speaker 1: quote rookies on the right side of the line, I 767 00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:48,319 Speaker 1: think they're coming together. Okay. I think the weak link 768 00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:51,480 Speaker 1: right now is probably Lucas Nyang. I think the film 769 00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:54,600 Speaker 1: is out on him. Um. I think his feet, he's 770 00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:56,640 Speaker 1: got he's got some work to do with his feet, 771 00:40:56,920 --> 00:40:59,200 Speaker 1: you know, coming for some rushers that are you know, 772 00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:02,400 Speaker 1: people like to Patrick Mahomes from from that side. Uh, 773 00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:04,080 Speaker 1: you know, they don't. They don't always like to do 774 00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:06,400 Speaker 1: the blind side rush with him because he actually is 775 00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:08,640 Speaker 1: worse when he has pressure in his face rather than 776 00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:11,880 Speaker 1: trying to get the blindside hit. Um. So a lot 777 00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:14,440 Speaker 1: of the teams are putting really solid rushers over Lucas 778 00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:16,239 Speaker 1: and it's starting to catch up with them a little bit. 779 00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:17,960 Speaker 1: So I think they're going to have to adjust their 780 00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:21,640 Speaker 1: protection uh and push push slides some protections to him 781 00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:24,080 Speaker 1: till he gets his feedback under him, But I think 782 00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:26,719 Speaker 1: he's probably the weak link in what I think is 783 00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:29,439 Speaker 1: going to be a tremendous offensive line because I think 784 00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:33,120 Speaker 1: for three rookies, two new starters, I gotta give him 785 00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:35,359 Speaker 1: like an a minus at this point and at this 786 00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:38,120 Speaker 1: point in the season. And I think Patrick is pretty 787 00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:40,120 Speaker 1: happy with the way they're playing. I've heard some commentary 788 00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:42,719 Speaker 1: that he's pretty happy with the way they're playing. Well, 789 00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:45,000 Speaker 1: we've talked about both sides of the football and all 790 00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:47,200 Speaker 1: around it. What you know, the thing that makes the 791 00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:51,600 Speaker 1: whole thing run is Pat I mean Patrick Mahomes. What 792 00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:54,440 Speaker 1: do you notice about him now? He's he's established, he's 793 00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:56,879 Speaker 1: an MVP's they won the Super Bowl. He's coming, he's 794 00:41:56,880 --> 00:42:00,600 Speaker 1: bouncing back here now and uh, you know, I mean, 795 00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:04,600 Speaker 1: this is a guy that's elite. Why is he so capable? 796 00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:06,319 Speaker 1: You know, when he's off plant when we see him 797 00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:08,640 Speaker 1: make all the crazy throws. It doesn't matter where he's at. 798 00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:10,279 Speaker 1: He can throw the football anywhere in the field. What 799 00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:13,360 Speaker 1: do you notice about Pat Mahomes this year that maybe 800 00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:17,160 Speaker 1: is a step forward or a difference from you know, 801 00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:19,799 Speaker 1: the last three or four years. That's great question, Steve. 802 00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:22,080 Speaker 1: I think for I think for him, you know what 803 00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:26,080 Speaker 1: happens is the game slows down. He's like, I remember 804 00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:28,279 Speaker 1: I use this analogy a lot with Pat and it's 805 00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:30,680 Speaker 1: you know, there's no offense by it, but I liken 806 00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:33,040 Speaker 1: him too like an insect or a fly. I remember 807 00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:36,040 Speaker 1: seeing this Matt Geo special once on flies, and this 808 00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:37,920 Speaker 1: is I know, this is an off the topic, really 809 00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:41,680 Speaker 1: bizarre commentary I'm going into here. But what happens with 810 00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:43,799 Speaker 1: insects and why you can never really kill a fly 811 00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:47,480 Speaker 1: is because their metabolism is so high and they have 812 00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:52,040 Speaker 1: such good sense for the speed of things. Like That's 813 00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:54,719 Speaker 1: what Patrick Mahomes is. He like the game for him 814 00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:58,080 Speaker 1: on the field is very slow, even though for us 815 00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:00,920 Speaker 1: as a lineman or you know, as a person, the 816 00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:03,880 Speaker 1: game is really fast. And I think that's what he 817 00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:06,920 Speaker 1: continues to get better at. He just the game just 818 00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:10,480 Speaker 1: keeps slowing down for him. He doesn't panic, he doesn't rush, 819 00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:12,759 Speaker 1: he's got eyes in the back of his head, and 820 00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:16,600 Speaker 1: he's an unbelievable athlete who is a drop back quarterback. 821 00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:19,480 Speaker 1: By the way, he is not, you know, Patrick Mahomes 822 00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:23,920 Speaker 1: is not a quarterback or running back in a quarterbacks 823 00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:26,960 Speaker 1: body or vice versa. Actually, Mahomes while he doesn't look 824 00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:30,279 Speaker 1: like a John Elway or a Dan Marino or you know, uh, 825 00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:33,719 Speaker 1: you know, the sort of statuesque Tom Brady drop back 826 00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:35,600 Speaker 1: quarterback that you know, you might be used to when 827 00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:39,279 Speaker 1: you think of those kind of quarterbacks. He's he's not 828 00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:42,239 Speaker 1: like a runner who just happens to throw. I see 829 00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:45,200 Speaker 1: him as a pure drop back quarterback who has mad 830 00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:47,359 Speaker 1: skills when it comes to like being able to throw 831 00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:49,640 Speaker 1: off his back foot, you know. And I think a 832 00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:52,520 Speaker 1: lot of that comes from his basketball and baseball talents 833 00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:56,439 Speaker 1: and being a well rounded athlete. So I think why 834 00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:59,600 Speaker 1: he continues to get better is because they're using him 835 00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:01,359 Speaker 1: the way he should be used. He's a drop back 836 00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:04,880 Speaker 1: quarterback who sees the field, who can run when he 837 00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:06,960 Speaker 1: needs to. He's no speedster, by the way. I mean 838 00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:08,880 Speaker 1: there's a lot there's a lot of quarterbacks that are 839 00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:11,600 Speaker 1: faster than he is. So he's not He's not gonna 840 00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:13,319 Speaker 1: just take off and run. He's gonna use it at 841 00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:16,160 Speaker 1: the right time. So I mean that's a lineman's view on, 842 00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:18,600 Speaker 1: you know, on something that I haven't done in a 843 00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:21,040 Speaker 1: long time, and that's throwing the ball sat back in 844 00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:22,960 Speaker 1: a pocket. But that's how I see That's how I 845 00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:26,000 Speaker 1: see his success. Joe has always Thanks for the time. 846 00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:28,360 Speaker 1: Enjoy the game on Sunday night. It should be a 847 00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:31,640 Speaker 1: barnburner here for sure. Oh, I think it's gonna be fantastic. 848 00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:34,239 Speaker 1: Thanks for having me on, guys, pretty former Chiefs up. 849 00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:37,680 Speaker 1: Its lineman Joe Valerio from the Belief in Sports podcast 850 00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:40,160 Speaker 1: that covers the Chiefs. We have to take a break here. 851 00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:42,440 Speaker 1: We'll be back with more in a moment. Here on 852 00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:44,600 Speaker 1: one Bill's line presented by Klot of Health. It's Buffalo 853 00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:59,920 Speaker 1: Bill's Radio all right. Time for some reads milestones presented 854 00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:02,480 Speaker 1: I reads. Jen's the official Jeweler or the Buffalo Bills. 855 00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:06,200 Speaker 1: Stefon Diggs one hundred fifty three receptions with the Bills 856 00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:08,920 Speaker 1: is a new record for a player in his first 857 00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:12,840 Speaker 1: twenty games with any team. Sunday against the Texans, Diggs 858 00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:14,839 Speaker 1: broke the old record of one hundred and fifty one 859 00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:19,280 Speaker 1: receptions in the first twenty games set by Lionel Taylor 860 00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:23,840 Speaker 1: Steve in nineteen sixty to sixty one. New record book 861 00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:28,359 Speaker 1: showing for Stefan Diggs NFL record book, not team record book. 862 00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:33,919 Speaker 1: That's something. Oh how they got to twenty games? Yeah, 863 00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:37,279 Speaker 1: it's you know, okay, maybe a little arbitrary, but who 864 00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:39,920 Speaker 1: the hell cares Dix has got the records. That's a 865 00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:45,080 Speaker 1: little bit of a baseball statistic. Hey, you gotta fitted Tuesday. 866 00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:53,040 Speaker 1: On Tuesdays during October, he holds the league record for doubles. Yeah, 867 00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:58,359 Speaker 1: way to go, Good job on you. So yeah, So 868 00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:01,280 Speaker 1: I just tweeted this out, Steve because after Joe Valerio, 869 00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:04,800 Speaker 1: our guest whose former lineman for the Chiefs and covers 870 00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:07,799 Speaker 1: that team, told us about Willie Gay being out, he 871 00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:10,000 Speaker 1: had I remember, I was reminded of the fact that 872 00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:11,600 Speaker 1: he had been out since the start of the season 873 00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:13,200 Speaker 1: for them with a turf toe injury. They put him 874 00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:16,720 Speaker 1: on IR well, just yesterday they designated him to return 875 00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:20,200 Speaker 1: from injured reserve. So I'm very interested to see what 876 00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:23,279 Speaker 1: his level of participation is in practice today because if 877 00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:26,759 Speaker 1: he is back, that is their best athlete by far 878 00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:30,080 Speaker 1: at the second level of their defense, and he has 879 00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:32,680 Speaker 1: been sorely missed. Because I was watching tape of the 880 00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:35,680 Speaker 1: game last week between the Eagles and the Chiefs, they 881 00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:39,160 Speaker 1: are slow at linebacker. Willie Gay would make a huge 882 00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:42,759 Speaker 1: difference for them there if he can play this week. Yeah, 883 00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:46,360 Speaker 1: I mean that Brad. We've heard about it. I mentioned, 884 00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:50,320 Speaker 1: you know, Jamie Collins coming back to the Patriots, who's 885 00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:54,959 Speaker 1: not a fast linebacker. That's why they time these guys 886 00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:57,920 Speaker 1: in the forty. You get on the field and it's 887 00:46:58,000 --> 00:46:59,960 Speaker 1: one thing that coach are standing there on the side 888 00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:02,000 Speaker 1: sidelines watching their guys get out run and they can't 889 00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:03,839 Speaker 1: get to the spot and they can't take me take 890 00:47:03,880 --> 00:47:05,880 Speaker 1: a bad angle because their speeds just not what they 891 00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:12,560 Speaker 1: thought it was. It's coaches go crazy over coming up 892 00:47:12,560 --> 00:47:15,440 Speaker 1: with a perfect scheme and not having the guys to 893 00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:18,640 Speaker 1: run it because they can't keep up. So it is 894 00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:21,640 Speaker 1: a constant battle to keep enough speed on the field, 895 00:47:21,680 --> 00:47:23,919 Speaker 1: particularly when you get against a team like the Bills 896 00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:26,760 Speaker 1: or the Chiefs, you know, or the or the Browns 897 00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:28,560 Speaker 1: or you know one of these like the Airs on 898 00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:30,520 Speaker 1: the Cardinals. Some of these teams with some weapons on 899 00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:32,880 Speaker 1: the outside and even in the backfield with Clyde Edwards 900 00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:35,920 Speaker 1: a layer in Kansas City and uh and or a 901 00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:41,600 Speaker 1: tight end, it drives them crazy. Well that's why I'm 902 00:47:41,640 --> 00:47:48,080 Speaker 1: hoping they don't right. If they have him, it may 903 00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:50,560 Speaker 1: change a lot of things for them. It's it's interesting 904 00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:52,400 Speaker 1: to think about because you get some speed at some 905 00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:56,360 Speaker 1: certain spots, and they'll run defenses they haven't shown yet. Yeah, 906 00:47:56,480 --> 00:47:59,080 Speaker 1: exact more of them. Like if they get Willie gayback 907 00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:02,480 Speaker 1: this week and Clark from the hamstring injury, then what 908 00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:05,200 Speaker 1: they've done on defense the first four weeks is completely 909 00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:07,440 Speaker 1: out the window. Now they could they could throw a 910 00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:10,600 Speaker 1: whole multitude of different things at the Bills, which isn't good. 911 00:48:10,680 --> 00:48:13,600 Speaker 1: Number one, And then number two, I think it takes 912 00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:16,640 Speaker 1: away a guy that I thought could be a matchup 913 00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:18,840 Speaker 1: problem for them with all their issues at linebacker in 914 00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:24,000 Speaker 1: Dawson Knox. Yeah, and that's the thing. They may have 915 00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:27,400 Speaker 1: been able to play some of the defensive calls that 916 00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:30,480 Speaker 1: you know that they've wanted to play up to this point, 917 00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:33,360 Speaker 1: but probably have shied away from them in large measure 918 00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:35,160 Speaker 1: because of you know, the lack of speed or the 919 00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:38,040 Speaker 1: lack of athleticism, or because the guys that were in 920 00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:42,560 Speaker 1: there did different things better. But you know, different players 921 00:48:42,560 --> 00:48:45,520 Speaker 1: played differently, and it allows coaches to think about their 922 00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:47,960 Speaker 1: defense in a different way, which allows them to call 923 00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:54,000 Speaker 1: different defensive calls in certain in the same situation. So yeah, 924 00:48:54,160 --> 00:48:57,440 Speaker 1: I think it throws a big question mark for the 925 00:48:57,480 --> 00:49:00,160 Speaker 1: Bills coaching staff as to what they can expect to 926 00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:02,600 Speaker 1: see from the Chiefs. Now. They may the Bills may 927 00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:04,279 Speaker 1: have a good handle on what they're going to see 928 00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:06,200 Speaker 1: from the Chiefs from what they did last year in 929 00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:11,319 Speaker 1: the AFC Championship, but it seems like a long time 930 00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:13,919 Speaker 1: ago now and well to wait and see. But yeah, 931 00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:15,840 Speaker 1: you know, the question marks are the thing that really 932 00:49:16,040 --> 00:49:18,000 Speaker 1: concern you that you just don't know what they're going 933 00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:21,160 Speaker 1: to do now four weeks into the five weeks into 934 00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:24,440 Speaker 1: the season. Now things are changing for your opponent on 935 00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:26,040 Speaker 1: a week that you're about to play them, and that's 936 00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:29,600 Speaker 1: that makes the question marks an uncertainty. Yeah, I was. 937 00:49:30,160 --> 00:49:32,680 Speaker 1: I felt encouraged that I'm learning how to watch film 938 00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:35,480 Speaker 1: or at least gauge players abilities on film. Here because 939 00:49:36,040 --> 00:49:38,680 Speaker 1: Joe Valeria the same opinion I did of the Chief's 940 00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:42,279 Speaker 1: offensive line the week. Link is Lucas Niang, the right 941 00:49:42,320 --> 00:49:45,160 Speaker 1: tackle who just does not have the feet to keep 942 00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:47,360 Speaker 1: up with speed rushers. So it's gonna be very interesting 943 00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:50,399 Speaker 1: to see who the Bills choose to deploy over there 944 00:49:50,880 --> 00:49:53,319 Speaker 1: coming off the edge number one and then number two. 945 00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:57,560 Speaker 1: The kind of fail saves that the Chiefs decide to 946 00:49:57,680 --> 00:50:01,160 Speaker 1: employ from a protection standpoint to help him out over there. 947 00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:04,960 Speaker 1: Of course, I say all this, and the first four weeks, 948 00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:07,239 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes has been getting the ball out in less 949 00:50:07,239 --> 00:50:10,400 Speaker 1: than two and a half seconds, like seventy five percent 950 00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:12,200 Speaker 1: of the time, so a lot of the times it 951 00:50:12,239 --> 00:50:14,160 Speaker 1: doesn't even matter. And then even if you do get 952 00:50:14,200 --> 00:50:16,759 Speaker 1: back there, he's usually running around and extending the play 953 00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:19,840 Speaker 1: to boot. We've got to take a break here, but 954 00:50:19,960 --> 00:50:22,640 Speaker 1: when we come back, we look forward to a new 955 00:50:22,760 --> 00:50:26,160 Speaker 1: segment on the One Bills Live Show. It's fresh off 956 00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:29,160 Speaker 1: the field with a player, and that player is going 957 00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:32,879 Speaker 1: to be Tyler Matacavic, brought to you by Austin Air, 958 00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:36,000 Speaker 1: one of our proud new sponsors. So we'll get to Tyler, 959 00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:39,040 Speaker 1: find out what he saw on that interception he made 960 00:50:39,120 --> 00:50:41,719 Speaker 1: late in the game last week, and how much the 961 00:50:41,760 --> 00:50:44,920 Speaker 1: special Teams unit has worked to correct some of the 962 00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:47,359 Speaker 1: little hiccups they had earlier in the season. We'll get 963 00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:50,400 Speaker 1: to all of that with Angry Red next here on 964 00:50:50,400 --> 00:50:52,960 Speaker 1: One Bills Live presented by Kalota Health, It's Buffalo Bill's 965 00:50:53,040 --> 00:51:11,680 Speaker 1: Radio at a Steve Tasker who has been all over 966 00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:13,520 Speaker 1: the fields. Kind of unique. He was kind of a 967 00:51:13,560 --> 00:51:20,040 Speaker 1: dual role player for you, Steve, Steve a blimp. We're 968 00:51:20,080 --> 00:51:25,120 Speaker 1: not even in the strategyre of normalcy here, all right, 969 00:51:25,160 --> 00:51:27,760 Speaker 1: Howard number two, let's rock and roll here on a Wednesday, 970 00:51:27,920 --> 00:51:31,840 Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you as we get ready 971 00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:37,960 Speaker 1: for Bills Chiefs week Sunday night football from Arrowhead Stadium, 972 00:51:38,520 --> 00:51:44,200 Speaker 1: and we will be joined here shortly by Bill's linebacker 973 00:51:44,239 --> 00:51:46,560 Speaker 1: and special teams. A styler Matacavig had a pick in 974 00:51:46,640 --> 00:51:50,000 Speaker 1: the game late last week and get his take on 975 00:51:50,040 --> 00:51:53,480 Speaker 1: a couple of things going into this matchup here. For 976 00:51:53,800 --> 00:51:57,440 Speaker 1: sure wanted to get the thoughts on the tweet sheet. However, 977 00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:02,000 Speaker 1: as we have been asking you today in our twitter conversation, 978 00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:05,960 Speaker 1: who needs this game more? Bills are the Chiefs? I mean, 979 00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:07,920 Speaker 1: a lot of people in knee jerk reaction might be 980 00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:11,640 Speaker 1: the Bills because they haven't beaten the Chiefs yet in 981 00:52:11,719 --> 00:52:16,360 Speaker 1: the last few meetings, not since twenty seventeen. But the Chiefs, 982 00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:18,440 Speaker 1: even though their offense is high flying, they're sitting a 983 00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:20,040 Speaker 1: two and two right now looking up at the rest 984 00:52:20,080 --> 00:52:22,240 Speaker 1: of the AFC West, which is all a game ahead 985 00:52:22,280 --> 00:52:25,040 Speaker 1: all three teams. So we go to the tweet cheet now, 986 00:52:25,080 --> 00:52:27,080 Speaker 1: which is brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the 987 00:52:27,160 --> 00:52:30,960 Speaker 1: official equipment moving provider of the Buffalo Bills, and Dinah says, 988 00:52:31,160 --> 00:52:33,520 Speaker 1: got to say that the Bills need to win more 989 00:52:33,680 --> 00:52:36,080 Speaker 1: just because it's case they need to show us and 990 00:52:36,239 --> 00:52:39,320 Speaker 1: themselves that they are capable of defeating them. A loss 991 00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:45,240 Speaker 1: could stay with them, undermining their confidence. How long lasting, Steve, 992 00:52:46,480 --> 00:52:48,279 Speaker 1: do you think a loss to the Chiefs could be 993 00:52:48,400 --> 00:52:50,279 Speaker 1: for them? I mean they always say when they have 994 00:52:50,400 --> 00:52:54,279 Speaker 1: a terribly painful loss, the Arizona loss, for example, last year, 995 00:52:54,320 --> 00:52:56,480 Speaker 1: the first thing you heard from the players this loss 996 00:52:56,640 --> 00:52:59,319 Speaker 1: is not going to define us. But when you face 997 00:52:59,400 --> 00:53:01,280 Speaker 1: a team it's been at the top of the AFC 998 00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:04,399 Speaker 1: mountain for the last three years and you can beat 999 00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:08,840 Speaker 1: him in three tries, including a playoff loss, that's got 1000 00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:12,839 Speaker 1: that's got to weigh on you a little bit mentally, right, Yeah, 1001 00:53:12,920 --> 00:53:14,480 Speaker 1: a little bit. I think there's two ways to look 1002 00:53:14,520 --> 00:53:19,040 Speaker 1: at it from the outside end, and yeah, it hurt 1003 00:53:19,080 --> 00:53:21,520 Speaker 1: that loss last year. It hurts hurt some bad because 1004 00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:23,520 Speaker 1: it gives you, it takes you away from a chance 1005 00:53:23,560 --> 00:53:25,440 Speaker 1: to go to the super Bowl. And that's why it 1006 00:53:25,600 --> 00:53:29,120 Speaker 1: hurts as because you wanted to keep playing. I think 1007 00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:34,080 Speaker 1: in the case that we're talking about now, I don't 1008 00:53:34,160 --> 00:53:38,560 Speaker 1: know that I would think that this game is as 1009 00:53:38,719 --> 00:53:41,000 Speaker 1: important or if if it's the game you want to win, 1010 00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:43,439 Speaker 1: I would almost because I always feel like, you're gonna 1011 00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:46,520 Speaker 1: see these guys down the road. Yeah, you know you're 1012 00:53:46,560 --> 00:53:50,440 Speaker 1: gonna see him in the playoffs again this year. And 1013 00:53:50,600 --> 00:53:53,440 Speaker 1: if that's the case, I don't know that a win 1014 00:53:53,640 --> 00:53:56,200 Speaker 1: is that important now because I'd almost rather have the 1015 00:53:56,280 --> 00:53:58,399 Speaker 1: Chiefs come into that game think and there's no way 1016 00:53:58,480 --> 00:54:01,600 Speaker 1: this team can beat us, you know, Yeah, I mean 1017 00:54:01,680 --> 00:54:05,440 Speaker 1: they if you beat them this if you beat them 1018 00:54:05,640 --> 00:54:08,640 Speaker 1: Sunday night and you see them in the playoffs down 1019 00:54:08,680 --> 00:54:11,640 Speaker 1: the road, even if it's in Buffalo, that team's coming 1020 00:54:11,680 --> 00:54:13,640 Speaker 1: in there with a chip on their shoulder. They're coming 1021 00:54:13,680 --> 00:54:15,680 Speaker 1: in there like saying, Hey, we've got something to prove, 1022 00:54:15,760 --> 00:54:17,440 Speaker 1: We've got a point to prove. You think you beat 1023 00:54:17,560 --> 00:54:19,520 Speaker 1: us once, you think you're better than us, who We're 1024 00:54:19,560 --> 00:54:21,640 Speaker 1: gonna show, you know what I mean. Yeah, So there's 1025 00:54:21,640 --> 00:54:23,680 Speaker 1: a little bit of that. I think there's I'd almost 1026 00:54:23,920 --> 00:54:26,600 Speaker 1: I'd almost rather lose this one and win the next one. 1027 00:54:26,840 --> 00:54:29,279 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. I just want to win it. 1028 00:54:29,719 --> 00:54:31,120 Speaker 1: I don't want to win a ball. I want to. 1029 00:54:31,360 --> 00:54:35,120 Speaker 1: I want the Bills to prove Look, man, you guys 1030 00:54:35,160 --> 00:54:37,160 Speaker 1: are great. You've been a great team for a while, 1031 00:54:37,600 --> 00:54:40,480 Speaker 1: but we are still ascending and we are better than 1032 00:54:40,560 --> 00:54:43,520 Speaker 1: you now and we're gonna prove it on Sunday night. 1033 00:54:43,640 --> 00:54:45,399 Speaker 1: And then you know what, if we see again, we're 1034 00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:47,880 Speaker 1: gonna beat you again. That's the that's the attitude I 1035 00:54:47,960 --> 00:54:50,960 Speaker 1: want to take. You're right, and that's the way you 1036 00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:52,920 Speaker 1: got to look at it. And I think it'll be 1037 00:54:52,960 --> 00:54:56,399 Speaker 1: a different world if they even no matter which team 1038 00:54:56,800 --> 00:55:00,480 Speaker 1: wins on Sunday night, and if the these teams do 1039 00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:02,680 Speaker 1: meet in the playoffs, it's gonna be a different world 1040 00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:05,040 Speaker 1: then than it is now. So you can, I can 1041 00:55:05,120 --> 00:55:08,960 Speaker 1: make all the conjectures I want about you know, the 1042 00:55:09,120 --> 00:55:11,080 Speaker 1: mindset going in with a chip on your shoulder. This 1043 00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:13,640 Speaker 1: team's gotta chip, that team's gotta chip, all of that stuff. 1044 00:55:14,280 --> 00:55:16,480 Speaker 1: You're right, the Bills are gonna think. Listen, we beat them, 1045 00:55:16,520 --> 00:55:18,279 Speaker 1: and now we're gonna beat them again. They beat us 1046 00:55:18,320 --> 00:55:19,759 Speaker 1: twice in a row. We're gonna do it to them. 1047 00:55:19,840 --> 00:55:21,719 Speaker 1: And and I'll tell you this, if that game, if 1048 00:55:21,760 --> 00:55:26,440 Speaker 1: that playoff game is in Buffalo, you know that's have 1049 00:55:26,560 --> 00:55:30,040 Speaker 1: fun with that. January in January. I mean, you know, 1050 00:55:30,160 --> 00:55:34,640 Speaker 1: to coin a phrase, it's gonna be chilly and those 1051 00:55:34,719 --> 00:55:37,000 Speaker 1: guys are It's gonna be a different world if the 1052 00:55:37,160 --> 00:55:40,440 Speaker 1: Chiefs have to show up in Buffalo in January rather 1053 00:55:40,480 --> 00:55:42,920 Speaker 1: than the Bills going to Kansas City in January. So 1054 00:55:43,040 --> 00:55:46,360 Speaker 1: it um, yeah, I say all that stuff about because 1055 00:55:46,560 --> 00:55:49,920 Speaker 1: it then it didn't you know, you it's the tendency 1056 00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:54,360 Speaker 1: to encapsulate this rivalry in a vacuum, and it's not 1057 00:55:54,560 --> 00:55:57,160 Speaker 1: in a vacuum. You got thirty other teams that are 1058 00:55:57,239 --> 00:55:59,000 Speaker 1: in there as well, and there's a lot of games 1059 00:55:59,080 --> 00:56:01,839 Speaker 1: between here and there, so a lot of things change. 1060 00:56:01,840 --> 00:56:04,359 Speaker 1: And as you said, the Chiefs and the Bills both 1061 00:56:04,480 --> 00:56:07,400 Speaker 1: got roster. Things churning right now, the offensive line, the 1062 00:56:07,520 --> 00:56:12,520 Speaker 1: injuries with Milano and Poyer and the rest, and the 1063 00:56:12,600 --> 00:56:15,640 Speaker 1: same with the Chiefs. Um you know, Josh Gordon getting 1064 00:56:15,680 --> 00:56:17,200 Speaker 1: thrown in the mix, and then you get these guys 1065 00:56:17,280 --> 00:56:19,960 Speaker 1: coming back off injury and getting activated. So it's a 1066 00:56:20,200 --> 00:56:24,640 Speaker 1: it's an ever churning cauldron of variables that go into 1067 00:56:24,719 --> 00:56:28,799 Speaker 1: this rivalry. So after having you know, come out and said, 1068 00:56:28,840 --> 00:56:30,440 Speaker 1: you know, I don't know if you really need if 1069 00:56:30,480 --> 00:56:32,319 Speaker 1: it's important for the Bills to beat him this time 1070 00:56:32,320 --> 00:56:36,000 Speaker 1: because you want to beat him the next time. Yeah. 1071 00:56:36,160 --> 00:56:41,600 Speaker 1: I think this is a game that has some importance 1072 00:56:41,920 --> 00:56:43,680 Speaker 1: for Buffalo, and I think this is a team that 1073 00:56:44,360 --> 00:56:46,719 Speaker 1: you know, if there is a team in the entire 1074 00:56:46,840 --> 00:56:50,680 Speaker 1: league that had a target on it, it's not the Patriots, 1075 00:56:50,719 --> 00:56:54,920 Speaker 1: it's not the Buccaneers, it's it's the Chiefs for the 1076 00:56:54,960 --> 00:56:57,960 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. Yeah. Nick has an interesting take on it. 1077 00:56:58,080 --> 00:57:00,239 Speaker 1: He says, as much as I want to win, I 1078 00:57:00,320 --> 00:57:02,360 Speaker 1: still think this game is more important for the Chiefs. 1079 00:57:02,480 --> 00:57:05,200 Speaker 1: We have a much easier schedule and should secure a 1080 00:57:05,280 --> 00:57:07,960 Speaker 1: good playoff seed regardless of the outcome of this game. 1081 00:57:08,360 --> 00:57:10,759 Speaker 1: But the Chiefs have a tougher schedule and they need 1082 00:57:10,800 --> 00:57:14,000 Speaker 1: every conference when they can get. And he's right about that, 1083 00:57:14,200 --> 00:57:16,840 Speaker 1: because you say, oh, two and two, you got an 1084 00:57:16,840 --> 00:57:19,800 Speaker 1: extra regular season game this year, plenty of time to 1085 00:57:19,960 --> 00:57:22,240 Speaker 1: get your record where you need it to get a 1086 00:57:22,320 --> 00:57:26,280 Speaker 1: good playoff seed. But Chiefs lose this game, they're two 1087 00:57:26,360 --> 00:57:31,680 Speaker 1: and three, and they would be oh and three in 1088 00:57:31,800 --> 00:57:36,760 Speaker 1: the conference. Do I have that right? Yeah? No, they 1089 00:57:36,840 --> 00:57:39,080 Speaker 1: beat Cleveland. They beat Cleveland, Sorry, they beat one and 1090 00:57:39,200 --> 00:57:43,880 Speaker 1: three in the conference. That screams wildcard, right, Yeah, they'd 1091 00:57:43,920 --> 00:57:45,840 Speaker 1: be on the road throughout the playoff. That's a hard 1092 00:57:45,920 --> 00:57:48,960 Speaker 1: road to go. Yep, bro take it from me. It's hard. 1093 00:57:50,800 --> 00:57:54,360 Speaker 1: You can split. You can split metaphors every want the Bill. 1094 00:57:54,880 --> 00:57:58,240 Speaker 1: The Bills have a target on them for meat. From 1095 00:57:58,280 --> 00:58:03,000 Speaker 1: my perspective, the paid Its, Jets, Dolphins all put a 1096 00:58:03,080 --> 00:58:05,840 Speaker 1: target on the Bills. Yeah. No, I don't think anybody 1097 00:58:05,880 --> 00:58:07,960 Speaker 1: else does. The target is squarely on the Chiefs for 1098 00:58:08,040 --> 00:58:12,920 Speaker 1: the entire conference. Those are the guys. The Browns were 1099 00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:16,000 Speaker 1: pointed at them, they got their win against them. You know, 1100 00:58:17,840 --> 00:58:21,240 Speaker 1: certainly the Broncos, the Raiders, and the Chargers are all 1101 00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:24,920 Speaker 1: pointed at the chief saying that's the team. The Bills 1102 00:58:24,960 --> 00:58:26,920 Speaker 1: are in that or you know they're in that pile 1103 00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:31,840 Speaker 1: as well. So the Bills are more of a measuring 1104 00:58:31,920 --> 00:58:34,160 Speaker 1: stick for a lot of teams. Not the Bills don't 1105 00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:36,240 Speaker 1: walk around with a target on them, but they are 1106 00:58:36,280 --> 00:58:37,960 Speaker 1: a measuring stick. And I think teams want to see 1107 00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:40,680 Speaker 1: how they measure up to a team like Buffalo. But 1108 00:58:40,800 --> 00:58:44,200 Speaker 1: Buffalo holds no great emotional impact for those guys for 1109 00:58:44,280 --> 00:58:46,520 Speaker 1: those wins. Anytime you beat the Chiefs in this day 1110 00:58:46,560 --> 00:58:49,840 Speaker 1: and age, it's big. It's big. Jack on the tweet 1111 00:58:49,880 --> 00:58:52,480 Speaker 1: chet says the Bills can really get the giant monkey 1112 00:58:52,560 --> 00:58:54,560 Speaker 1: off their back with a win Sunday night. I love 1113 00:58:54,680 --> 00:58:58,360 Speaker 1: another loss could get in their heads, which we kind 1114 00:58:58,360 --> 00:59:01,480 Speaker 1: of discussed already, Herb said, as the Bills need this 1115 00:59:01,600 --> 00:59:03,960 Speaker 1: game more. We lost twice to KC last year. We 1116 00:59:04,040 --> 00:59:06,080 Speaker 1: need to slay this football team. As they are the 1117 00:59:06,160 --> 00:59:08,800 Speaker 1: AFC champs. A win over them will go a long 1118 00:59:08,840 --> 00:59:10,840 Speaker 1: way for the Bills to gain the respect they deserve. 1119 00:59:11,200 --> 00:59:13,160 Speaker 1: It wouldn't surprise me if the Bills go in there 1120 00:59:13,480 --> 00:59:16,120 Speaker 1: and punch them in the mouth. There is a there 1121 00:59:16,280 --> 00:59:18,720 Speaker 1: is a there is something to be said Steve about 1122 00:59:20,000 --> 00:59:24,320 Speaker 1: vanquishing your demons and how that plays into a game 1123 00:59:24,440 --> 00:59:29,160 Speaker 1: like this where, I mean every week coach McDermott and 1124 00:59:29,200 --> 00:59:31,920 Speaker 1: his staff try to have this team laser focused, but 1125 00:59:32,040 --> 00:59:35,280 Speaker 1: there's an extra layer to this game because they haven't 1126 00:59:35,280 --> 00:59:38,680 Speaker 1: been able to beat this team, at least not last year. 1127 00:59:41,280 --> 00:59:46,120 Speaker 1: So yeah, it does. I wonder what additional things it 1128 00:59:46,280 --> 00:59:49,520 Speaker 1: brings out in the players on this Bill's roster when 1129 00:59:49,560 --> 00:59:55,160 Speaker 1: they step on the field Sunday night. Yeah, I've told 1130 00:59:55,200 --> 00:59:57,160 Speaker 1: this story a ton. I'm sure people are tired of 1131 00:59:57,240 --> 01:00:00,360 Speaker 1: hearing it. But back in before the Buffalo Bill went 1132 01:00:00,400 --> 01:00:02,840 Speaker 1: to four straight Super Bowls before they went to their 1133 01:00:02,880 --> 01:00:05,280 Speaker 1: first one. They played the New York Giants in New 1134 01:00:05,400 --> 01:00:13,000 Speaker 1: York in Week thirteen fourteen. No, it was a Sunday 1135 01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:16,960 Speaker 1: afternoon game and the Giants were I think the Giants 1136 01:00:17,040 --> 01:00:20,240 Speaker 1: were eleven and two or twelve and two and we 1137 01:00:20,400 --> 01:00:23,120 Speaker 1: were twelve and two. We had identical records. It was 1138 01:00:23,120 --> 01:00:27,480 Speaker 1: an enormously important game, just four because they were two really, 1139 01:00:27,560 --> 01:00:31,080 Speaker 1: really good football teams. And we walked in and Phil 1140 01:00:31,120 --> 01:00:33,440 Speaker 1: Simms got hurt in the game, Jim Kelly got hurt 1141 01:00:33,480 --> 01:00:35,400 Speaker 1: in the game. It was a It was a dog fight, 1142 01:00:36,200 --> 01:00:39,440 Speaker 1: and we beat that team in their building late in 1143 01:00:39,520 --> 01:00:41,720 Speaker 1: the season. It was like six weeks or three weeks 1144 01:00:41,760 --> 01:00:45,560 Speaker 1: before we met him in the Super Bowl. After that game, 1145 01:00:46,600 --> 01:00:51,880 Speaker 1: the atmosphere in the Buffalo Bills locker room was the 1146 01:00:52,120 --> 01:00:57,480 Speaker 1: most genuinely joyous of any locker room I'd ever been in. 1147 01:00:58,720 --> 01:01:01,880 Speaker 1: Even some of the Afcampionship games didn't compare to that 1148 01:01:02,080 --> 01:01:05,880 Speaker 1: locker room because it was a game where the players 1149 01:01:06,040 --> 01:01:09,840 Speaker 1: and the coaching staff proved it to themselves how good 1150 01:01:09,880 --> 01:01:14,040 Speaker 1: we were. Forget about everybody else. We believed it ourselves 1151 01:01:14,120 --> 01:01:18,720 Speaker 1: for the first time, and you could feel it in 1152 01:01:18,800 --> 01:01:21,120 Speaker 1: that locker room. You could feel it. Okay, it was 1153 01:01:21,160 --> 01:01:23,760 Speaker 1: pretty cool. So now let's take that a step further. 1154 01:01:24,720 --> 01:01:27,440 Speaker 1: Let's say the Bills get a win like that Sunday 1155 01:01:27,560 --> 01:01:31,520 Speaker 1: Night and quote unquote prove it to themselves how good 1156 01:01:31,600 --> 01:01:37,320 Speaker 1: they are. What is the danger going into the following 1157 01:01:37,400 --> 01:01:44,360 Speaker 1: week's game on the road Monday Night against Tennessee. Well? 1158 01:01:44,480 --> 01:01:47,280 Speaker 1: Nothing there. I mean, here's the thing. The danger comes. 1159 01:01:47,440 --> 01:01:50,400 Speaker 1: Like I said earlier in the in the show, how 1160 01:01:50,480 --> 01:01:52,959 Speaker 1: long can you keep that up? For one season? Yeah? 1161 01:01:54,480 --> 01:01:56,479 Speaker 1: You know, I mean I think there's no question they'll 1162 01:01:56,480 --> 01:01:59,000 Speaker 1: get a boost and it'll be a great validation of 1163 01:01:59,080 --> 01:02:00,920 Speaker 1: all the things that they've done and worked for over 1164 01:02:00,960 --> 01:02:04,320 Speaker 1: the past five years. But under Sean McDermott. But the 1165 01:02:04,600 --> 01:02:08,600 Speaker 1: but then the contest becomes can you sustain it for 1166 01:02:08,640 --> 01:02:11,280 Speaker 1: the next three months? Yea way of February? And that's 1167 01:02:11,320 --> 01:02:14,240 Speaker 1: my question, because will there be such an emotional letdown 1168 01:02:14,800 --> 01:02:16,440 Speaker 1: will they be able to get back up for a 1169 01:02:16,520 --> 01:02:19,200 Speaker 1: big Monday Night tilt with the Titans. I'm wondering if 1170 01:02:19,680 --> 01:02:23,240 Speaker 1: last year's garbage with the game being moved around, will 1171 01:02:23,280 --> 01:02:25,240 Speaker 1: be enough to get them rallied back up again for 1172 01:02:25,360 --> 01:02:29,040 Speaker 1: that one. Yeah, I think it will I there's a 1173 01:02:29,120 --> 01:02:30,920 Speaker 1: couple of games on this schedule I've talked to you 1174 01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:35,280 Speaker 1: about that I think are circled for the Bills, and 1175 01:02:35,680 --> 01:02:38,280 Speaker 1: you know, I think one of them is the New 1176 01:02:38,400 --> 01:02:41,880 Speaker 1: Orleans game. I think you're going back to the twenty 1177 01:02:41,960 --> 01:02:45,200 Speaker 1: seventeen grudge with that New Orleans game when they ran 1178 01:02:45,280 --> 01:02:48,160 Speaker 1: all over him. I think I think there's some coaching 1179 01:02:48,240 --> 01:02:51,120 Speaker 1: staffa coaching staff, and maybe some veterans. And I'll tell 1180 01:02:51,160 --> 01:02:54,720 Speaker 1: you what, that film is still out there. Well it 1181 01:02:54,880 --> 01:02:58,760 Speaker 1: isn't bring that Gaball wasn't here yet. But I wonder 1182 01:02:58,800 --> 01:03:00,440 Speaker 1: if Sean goes to him and said, hey, go take 1183 01:03:00,480 --> 01:03:02,439 Speaker 1: a look at this film and do me a favor. 1184 01:03:02,520 --> 01:03:06,720 Speaker 1: If we're if we're getting them good, keep getting them. Yeah, 1185 01:03:07,520 --> 01:03:11,600 Speaker 1: there's some of that, uh, I think the Yeah. So 1186 01:03:11,720 --> 01:03:13,560 Speaker 1: I think like that game is going to be a 1187 01:03:13,600 --> 01:03:16,000 Speaker 1: big one. I think the Carolina game has something in there, 1188 01:03:16,040 --> 01:03:18,680 Speaker 1: a little bit something something in their form, No question, 1189 01:03:18,760 --> 01:03:20,960 Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay game with the World champions and Tom 1190 01:03:21,040 --> 01:03:22,960 Speaker 1: Brady and all of that is going to be in there. 1191 01:03:23,600 --> 01:03:28,080 Speaker 1: There's but this Tennessee game I think is at the 1192 01:03:28,160 --> 01:03:31,800 Speaker 1: top of that list. The game got they gave they 1193 01:03:31,880 --> 01:03:35,400 Speaker 1: gave him the triple pump fake last year about whether 1194 01:03:35,440 --> 01:03:38,320 Speaker 1: the game was gonna happen, when it was gonna happen, 1195 01:03:38,400 --> 01:03:41,960 Speaker 1: where it was going to happen, and then whether it 1196 01:03:42,040 --> 01:03:43,720 Speaker 1: was gonna happen at all, and then it got put 1197 01:03:43,800 --> 01:03:45,560 Speaker 1: back on the schedule, and then it got moved after 1198 01:03:45,600 --> 01:03:48,320 Speaker 1: I got put back on the schedule. Yeah, And the 1199 01:03:48,520 --> 01:03:52,320 Speaker 1: Titans came in playing like they'd gotten a reprieve off 1200 01:03:52,440 --> 01:03:55,000 Speaker 1: death row, and the Bills played as though they were 1201 01:03:55,760 --> 01:03:57,600 Speaker 1: they got thrown into the garbage dump and had to 1202 01:03:57,680 --> 01:03:59,439 Speaker 1: go down there and play that game, and it looked 1203 01:03:59,480 --> 01:04:03,640 Speaker 1: like it, I think. And then there's the Taylor Nijuan 1204 01:04:03,840 --> 01:04:06,880 Speaker 1: soundbites after that game about how they rub the Bills 1205 01:04:06,960 --> 01:04:10,560 Speaker 1: faces in it. You don't want to you want you know, 1206 01:04:10,600 --> 01:04:12,560 Speaker 1: you don't want to put bad film out there, you know, 1207 01:04:12,680 --> 01:04:14,360 Speaker 1: and all of that. You don't want to be one 1208 01:04:14,400 --> 01:04:17,360 Speaker 1: of those teams that does that puts billboard material out there. 1209 01:04:18,320 --> 01:04:25,800 Speaker 1: This game, this game has a dumpster full of bulletin 1210 01:04:25,840 --> 01:04:29,360 Speaker 1: board material for the Bills. So I think the emotional 1211 01:04:29,440 --> 01:04:31,560 Speaker 1: letdown that they get from a Bill's win in Kansas 1212 01:04:31,560 --> 01:04:34,320 Speaker 1: City this week will have no effect the next week. 1213 01:04:34,560 --> 01:04:37,080 Speaker 1: On Monday Night in Tennessee, I think the Bills go 1214 01:04:37,240 --> 01:04:42,200 Speaker 1: in there and absolutely and absolutely throttle that team. I 1215 01:04:42,320 --> 01:04:44,680 Speaker 1: think they get the big hammer out and hurt them bad. 1216 01:04:46,120 --> 01:04:48,480 Speaker 1: All right, I like the sound of that. We will 1217 01:04:48,560 --> 01:04:50,840 Speaker 1: take a break here, but when we come back, we 1218 01:04:51,000 --> 01:04:54,120 Speaker 1: hope to have fresh off the practice field one Tyler 1219 01:04:54,160 --> 01:04:57,480 Speaker 1: Matacavi joining us. He of the one of the five 1220 01:04:57,720 --> 01:05:01,520 Speaker 1: takeaways from last week's Way over the Texans. We'll talk 1221 01:05:01,560 --> 01:05:03,560 Speaker 1: to him next here on One Bill's Live, presented by 1222 01:05:03,600 --> 01:05:17,880 Speaker 1: Kalida Helps. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio.

Tyler, I gotta ask you, do 1229 01:05:39,240 --> 01:05:42,240 Speaker 1: you still go by the Mike Tomlin given nickname of 1230 01:05:42,440 --> 01:05:45,280 Speaker 1: Dirty Red. Is that still alive and well? Or have 1231 01:05:45,440 --> 01:05:49,120 Speaker 1: we moved on from that? I know it's definitely still 1232 01:05:49,160 --> 01:05:51,479 Speaker 1: alive and well. I feel I find more guys around 1233 01:05:51,520 --> 01:05:54,600 Speaker 1: here call me Dirty red now, So it's pretty cool. 1234 01:05:55,880 --> 01:06:01,080 Speaker 1: That's awesome. Let's let's go ahead. Steve, Well, I was 1235 01:06:01,120 --> 01:06:03,800 Speaker 1: gonna you had a you know, got a chance to 1236 01:06:03,840 --> 01:06:06,000 Speaker 1: get on in a game like the way it went 1237 01:06:06,120 --> 01:06:07,960 Speaker 1: last week against Houston. You got a chance to play 1238 01:06:08,040 --> 01:06:11,400 Speaker 1: some reps at linebacker, and yeah, I know how I 1239 01:06:11,520 --> 01:06:13,240 Speaker 1: used to feel when I'd get in on regular down 1240 01:06:13,280 --> 01:06:15,280 Speaker 1: and distance plays after coming off the special teams and 1241 01:06:15,360 --> 01:06:18,560 Speaker 1: spending all my time covering kicks. How you know, just 1242 01:06:18,680 --> 01:06:20,440 Speaker 1: tell how fun was it to be able to get 1243 01:06:20,480 --> 01:06:22,480 Speaker 1: out take some reps and run around the field and 1244 01:06:23,000 --> 01:06:25,560 Speaker 1: think about tackling guys and coverage rather than just you know, 1245 01:06:25,800 --> 01:06:29,520 Speaker 1: finding the kick in the air and chasing a guy. Yeah. No, 1246 01:06:29,640 --> 01:06:32,080 Speaker 1: it's awesome. You know. I just have an opportunity to 1247 01:06:32,080 --> 01:06:34,720 Speaker 1: go out there and just run around against some defensive snaps. 1248 01:06:34,760 --> 01:06:37,560 Speaker 1: I mean, there's nothing better than that. You know. It's 1249 01:06:37,600 --> 01:06:39,439 Speaker 1: definitely not how I thought the day was gonna start, 1250 01:06:39,600 --> 01:06:41,880 Speaker 1: you know, but I mean I'll take every one of 1251 01:06:41,920 --> 01:06:44,000 Speaker 1: them I can get, so I definitely enjoy them anytime 1252 01:06:44,040 --> 01:06:46,080 Speaker 1: they come around. So, and you get to throw a 1253 01:06:46,160 --> 01:06:48,400 Speaker 1: pick in your stat column as well, what did you 1254 01:06:48,600 --> 01:06:50,600 Speaker 1: kind of see on that play? Late? I know, Davis 1255 01:06:50,680 --> 01:06:53,240 Speaker 1: Mills was probably seeing ghosts by that point in the game. 1256 01:06:53,320 --> 01:06:55,440 Speaker 1: But still in all that one counts for you just 1257 01:06:55,520 --> 01:06:59,520 Speaker 1: like any other one does. Yeah. No, I was definitely 1258 01:06:59,560 --> 01:07:01,960 Speaker 1: fired up. That was the first one of the career. So, 1259 01:07:03,000 --> 01:07:04,640 Speaker 1: I mean it might not mean a lot to some 1260 01:07:04,760 --> 01:07:06,920 Speaker 1: people with that that one right there, man everything to me, 1261 01:07:07,840 --> 01:07:11,960 Speaker 1: So I was pretty fired up about that. Give us 1262 01:07:12,000 --> 01:07:13,920 Speaker 1: a sense. Now she comes back, he bounce off a 1263 01:07:14,000 --> 01:07:16,440 Speaker 1: big win last week, no question, you're looking forward to it. 1264 01:07:16,480 --> 01:07:18,640 Speaker 1: And you got this team with that has a target 1265 01:07:18,680 --> 01:07:20,480 Speaker 1: on its back by every other team, and you're one 1266 01:07:20,520 --> 01:07:22,520 Speaker 1: of the You're one of thirty one other teams that 1267 01:07:22,640 --> 01:07:24,560 Speaker 1: put a target right on squarely on the back of 1268 01:07:24,600 --> 01:07:27,480 Speaker 1: the Chiefs. They put you out of the playoffs last year. 1269 01:07:27,560 --> 01:07:30,919 Speaker 1: It's a big game. You know, you guys are playing well. 1270 01:07:31,000 --> 01:07:33,640 Speaker 1: Now you're going into their building all the baggage that 1271 01:07:33,720 --> 01:07:35,800 Speaker 1: comes with this game. Give us an idea what the 1272 01:07:35,960 --> 01:07:37,520 Speaker 1: vibe is and what you guys are talking about in 1273 01:07:37,520 --> 01:07:41,120 Speaker 1: the locker room. Yeah, I mean, shoot, everyone's fired up, 1274 01:07:41,200 --> 01:07:43,760 Speaker 1: you know. I mean, it's you know how it is. 1275 01:07:43,840 --> 01:07:45,240 Speaker 1: I Mean, it's hard for us just to say it's 1276 01:07:45,240 --> 01:07:47,080 Speaker 1: a it's another game. It's one game. Out of time. 1277 01:07:47,160 --> 01:07:50,040 Speaker 1: But everyone knows who we're playing this weekend, you know, 1278 01:07:50,200 --> 01:07:53,400 Speaker 1: and uh, I mean we're excited. I mean unfortunately, we 1279 01:07:53,440 --> 01:07:55,280 Speaker 1: came up short two times last year, you know, and 1280 01:07:55,640 --> 01:07:58,560 Speaker 1: and that last one definitely stung a little lecture. I 1281 01:07:58,640 --> 01:08:00,520 Speaker 1: know a lot of guys still have that, uh, that 1282 01:08:00,680 --> 01:08:03,680 Speaker 1: feeling that they had from last year. Won't play them 1283 01:08:03,960 --> 01:08:06,200 Speaker 1: in the AFC Championship. But uh, I mean, guys are 1284 01:08:06,240 --> 01:08:08,040 Speaker 1: just hungry, you know.

I know. When we were talking to coach 1289 01:08:18,160 --> 01:08:21,640 Speaker 1: earlier this week, you know, everybody talks naturally about their 1290 01:08:21,720 --> 01:08:23,479 Speaker 1: offense and how they're like a track team on a 1291 01:08:23,479 --> 01:08:26,559 Speaker 1: football field. Some of those track guys are also returning 1292 01:08:26,600 --> 01:08:29,640 Speaker 1: the kicks and the punts. Uh what do you? What 1293 01:08:29,760 --> 01:08:33,200 Speaker 1: do you? What's kind of your your feel on Mikole 1294 01:08:33,280 --> 01:08:36,879 Speaker 1: Hardman and Byron Pringle, who are usually doing the returns 1295 01:08:36,920 --> 01:08:40,839 Speaker 1: for those guys. Yeah, no, they're good, they're good returners 1296 01:08:40,880 --> 01:08:43,879 Speaker 1: back there. They're definitely fast guys. You know, they get downhill, 1297 01:08:43,960 --> 01:08:45,880 Speaker 1: they hit it. Uh. They really want to get to 1298 01:08:45,960 --> 01:08:48,240 Speaker 1: that big field and get you moving lateral and then 1299 01:08:48,280 --> 01:08:50,880 Speaker 1: they find their little alley and they hit it. Uh. 1300 01:08:51,120 --> 01:08:53,280 Speaker 1: So it's really just gonna take all our cover lanes. 1301 01:08:53,360 --> 01:08:57,040 Speaker 1: You know, everyone don't follow the same color really good spacing.

Adversity when you face an opponent of 1336 01:10:32,360 --> 01:10:36,120 Speaker 1: this caliber is something you almost anticipate, so you're prepared 1337 01:10:36,160 --> 01:10:39,800 Speaker 1: to handle it. Your Special Teams unit has already faced 1338 01:10:39,840 --> 01:10:41,800 Speaker 1: a little bit of adversity through the first four weeks. 1339 01:10:41,840 --> 01:10:44,799 Speaker 1: But my question to you is how has Coach Farwell 1340 01:10:44,920 --> 01:10:48,560 Speaker 1: been in the room coming off of maybe those instances, 1341 01:10:48,640 --> 01:10:51,200 Speaker 1: whether it's reviewing film or getting ready for the next week. 1342 01:10:51,640 --> 01:10:53,680 Speaker 1: After those couple of hiccups you had early in the 1343 01:10:53,720 --> 01:10:58,360 Speaker 1: season on Special Teams, Yeah, you know, we just come 1344 01:10:58,479 --> 01:11:00,640 Speaker 1: right back then here the next day and we get 1345 01:11:00,680 --> 01:11:04,960 Speaker 1: those since corrected. You know, we consistently have conversations, even 1346 01:11:05,000 --> 01:11:08,200 Speaker 1: if it's just walking up walking from meeting the meeting. 1347 01:11:08,280 --> 01:11:10,519 Speaker 1: You know, we're just always consistently trying to figure out 1348 01:11:10,920 --> 01:11:13,400 Speaker 1: what we're gonna do this weekend, what our matchups are, 1349 01:11:13,479 --> 01:11:16,400 Speaker 1: if you like our matchups, what we're seeing, what could work, 1350 01:11:16,479 --> 01:11:18,519 Speaker 1: what might not work, you know, And those are just 1351 01:11:18,680 --> 01:11:21,680 Speaker 1: conversations that are awesome that we're always having, you know, 1352 01:11:21,760 --> 01:11:23,720 Speaker 1: And I think he does an excellent job at that 1353 01:11:23,800 --> 01:11:26,280 Speaker 1: at really trying to be transparent with us, tell us 1354 01:11:26,320 --> 01:11:27,599 Speaker 1: what we're going to do, but then at the same 1355 01:11:27,640 --> 01:11:29,600 Speaker 1: time just being like, hey, what are you seeing. Do 1356 01:11:29,680 --> 01:11:31,120 Speaker 1: you think this could work or do you think this 1357 01:11:31,240 --> 01:11:33,560 Speaker 1: can't work? You know, And as long as we just 1358 01:11:33,720 --> 01:11:36,759 Speaker 1: keep doing having these talks, these meetings, you know, outside 1359 01:11:36,800 --> 01:11:39,360 Speaker 1: of our regular special teams meetings that we've been doing 1360 01:11:39,439 --> 01:11:41,880 Speaker 1: throughout the year. That stuff will just help us. And 1361 01:11:42,080 --> 01:11:44,080 Speaker 1: we just got to keep getting better each week, you 1362 01:11:44,160 --> 01:11:45,720 Speaker 1: know what I mean, One game at a time, one 1363 01:11:45,800 --> 01:11:48,320 Speaker 1: day at a time, and just stay on the rods. 1364 01:11:50,120 --> 01:11:52,000 Speaker 1: You guys have put together one of the all time 1365 01:11:52,040 --> 01:11:55,480 Speaker 1: great Buffalo Bill seasons last year. It was absolutely fantastic 1366 01:11:55,600 --> 01:11:59,679 Speaker 1: to watch. And this year you've got seven team games, 1367 01:11:59,760 --> 01:12:03,000 Speaker 1: not sixteen. You've got eighteen weeks, not seventeen. It's gonna 1368 01:12:03,000 --> 01:12:06,360 Speaker 1: be a grind like never before in the history of 1369 01:12:06,400 --> 01:12:10,400 Speaker 1: the league. Right, So what communication, what kind of thought 1370 01:12:10,520 --> 01:12:13,720 Speaker 1: process or you know, what kind of different protocols or 1371 01:12:13,800 --> 01:12:16,840 Speaker 1: if any are you using? Do you just tack on 1372 01:12:16,920 --> 01:12:18,439 Speaker 1: a week at the end and kind of keep on 1373 01:12:18,600 --> 01:12:21,000 Speaker 1: keeping all of what you're doing. And we've had Brownie 1374 01:12:21,000 --> 01:12:23,519 Speaker 1: and I've been talking today about man oh man, it's 1375 01:12:23,600 --> 01:12:25,439 Speaker 1: hard to play as well as you guys did on 1376 01:12:25,600 --> 01:12:27,880 Speaker 1: both sides of the ball this last week. It's hard 1377 01:12:27,920 --> 01:12:30,760 Speaker 1: to play like that for three straight months. What are 1378 01:12:30,800 --> 01:12:33,320 Speaker 1: the thoughts about that going forward? And how long of 1379 01:12:33,360 --> 01:12:36,680 Speaker 1: a season it's going to be. Yeah, shoot, I mean 1380 01:12:36,800 --> 01:12:38,960 Speaker 1: you know, it's already a long years as it is, 1381 01:12:39,040 --> 01:12:41,519 Speaker 1: the sixteen games and then the playoffs and all that, 1382 01:12:41,640 --> 01:12:43,800 Speaker 1: so I don that another one. It definitely is gonna 1383 01:12:43,800 --> 01:12:46,120 Speaker 1: be long, you know. But I mean it's like anything, 1384 01:12:46,160 --> 01:12:48,000 Speaker 1: you know, you can't look too far down the road, 1385 01:12:48,120 --> 01:12:51,000 Speaker 1: you know. We know each week we just gotta be 1386 01:12:51,120 --> 01:12:53,280 Speaker 1: good on offense, be good on defense, and be going 1387 01:12:53,280 --> 01:12:56,080 Speaker 1: on special teams, you know, all three phases really just 1388 01:12:56,240 --> 01:12:59,559 Speaker 1: playing just making teams one dimensional, you know. Just on defense, 1389 01:12:59,600 --> 01:13:01,960 Speaker 1: we gotta stop the run, make them pass. On teams, 1390 01:13:02,000 --> 01:13:03,560 Speaker 1: you just gotta be fast and I'm oh, we just 1391 01:13:03,640 --> 01:13:07,000 Speaker 1: gotta score the score points. But I think the big 1392 01:13:07,040 --> 01:13:08,840 Speaker 1: thing too is just making sure these guys that are 1393 01:13:08,960 --> 01:13:10,640 Speaker 1: hum mentally, you know, because like you said, I mean, 1394 01:13:10,720 --> 01:13:13,280 Speaker 1: it is a long year and a lot of you're 1395 01:13:13,320 --> 01:13:15,479 Speaker 1: gonna need everybody on this team, from the vets to 1396 01:13:15,560 --> 01:13:17,559 Speaker 1: the young guys. So I think it's gonna be really 1397 01:13:17,600 --> 01:13:20,320 Speaker 1: crucial to just reminding these young guys, hey, we're gonna 1398 01:13:20,360 --> 01:13:22,840 Speaker 1: need you guys down this stretch, you know, and just 1399 01:13:22,960 --> 01:13:26,400 Speaker 1: keeping them locked in. Talking to Bill's linebacker and special teams, 1400 01:13:26,479 --> 01:13:29,639 Speaker 1: he's Tyler Matacavid here on one Bills Live and Tyler. 1401 01:13:31,160 --> 01:13:33,800 Speaker 1: Everybody has their theories on the best way to beat 1402 01:13:33,840 --> 01:13:35,960 Speaker 1: the Chiefs, and I don't want to. I'm not diving 1403 01:13:36,000 --> 01:13:37,560 Speaker 1: into game plan with you when I ask you this, 1404 01:13:37,960 --> 01:13:41,080 Speaker 1: I'm asking you from an approach perspective. Like a lot 1405 01:13:41,160 --> 01:13:45,599 Speaker 1: of outside observers, the armchair quarterbacks, if you will say, well, 1406 01:13:45,680 --> 01:13:49,479 Speaker 1: when you play this team, you can't shy away from anything. 1407 01:13:49,600 --> 01:13:51,680 Speaker 1: You gotta let it all hang out. You gotta be 1408 01:13:51,760 --> 01:13:55,560 Speaker 1: aggressive but not reckless. And you know, and you and 1409 01:13:55,840 --> 01:13:57,720 Speaker 1: I'm sure you've heard it. I mean, whether you're down 1410 01:13:57,760 --> 01:14:01,360 Speaker 1: at the grocery store down the street and people recognize 1411 01:14:01,400 --> 01:14:04,200 Speaker 1: you or whatever it is, everybody's got a theory. What 1412 01:14:04,479 --> 01:14:07,840 Speaker 1: is what is realistic? Though? When you go into a 1413 01:14:07,920 --> 01:14:10,640 Speaker 1: game against a team, you know, if this caliber, you 1414 01:14:10,720 --> 01:14:13,200 Speaker 1: really do kind of have to have everybody pulling the 1415 01:14:13,320 --> 01:14:21,080 Speaker 1: rope and everybody being aggressive on every single play. Right, Yeah, now, 1416 01:14:21,160 --> 01:14:23,880 Speaker 1: you you definitely do. Uh. I mean there's definitely a 1417 01:14:24,000 --> 01:14:26,160 Speaker 1: lot of ways people try to attack the Chiefs, you know, 1418 01:14:26,400 --> 01:14:29,080 Speaker 1: and uh, a couple of them might come up successful, 1419 01:14:29,080 --> 01:14:31,040 Speaker 1: a lot of them that don't, unfortunately, you know, so 1420 01:14:31,520 --> 01:14:33,479 Speaker 1: you just really got to take your plans and and 1421 01:14:33,640 --> 01:14:35,080 Speaker 1: just really look at it. You know, and look at 1422 01:14:35,160 --> 01:14:37,040 Speaker 1: matchups and all that stuff, and just know, at the 1423 01:14:37,120 --> 01:14:39,679 Speaker 1: end of the day, it's just about all eleven guys executing. 1424 01:14:39,800 --> 01:14:41,479 Speaker 1: I know I can't really speak for the offense, but 1425 01:14:41,600 --> 01:14:45,479 Speaker 1: on a defense from defense perspective, we really just need 1426 01:14:45,560 --> 01:14:48,080 Speaker 1: all eleven guys just doing their job. A communication has 1427 01:14:48,120 --> 01:14:49,680 Speaker 1: to be key, you know, everyone's got to be on 1428 01:14:49,720 --> 01:14:52,320 Speaker 1: their p's and q's with the checks. Uh when we're 1429 01:14:52,400 --> 01:14:54,920 Speaker 1: when we're in passing down situational football, you know what 1430 01:14:55,000 --> 01:14:57,479 Speaker 1: I mean, what all that all that stuff that we 1431 01:14:57,600 --> 01:15:00,240 Speaker 1: talk about throughout a year, it's just lead and us 1432 01:15:00,320 --> 01:15:02,600 Speaker 1: up to these points. Uh, these moments like this. You know, 1433 01:15:03,160 --> 01:15:04,760 Speaker 1: you never want to make a moment too big or 1434 01:15:04,800 --> 01:15:06,920 Speaker 1: too little. You know, you just got to prepare you 1435 01:15:07,080 --> 01:15:09,160 Speaker 1: what you've been doing to get since day one. These 1436 01:15:09,200 --> 01:15:11,360 Speaker 1: coaches will put a game plan to us, and it's 1437 01:15:11,360 --> 01:15:13,080 Speaker 1: just comes down to our job going out there and 1438 01:15:13,160 --> 01:15:17,320 Speaker 1: executing and and just making some plays. You've been in 1439 01:15:17,439 --> 01:15:19,800 Speaker 1: this on this team for you know, two seasons now. 1440 01:15:19,880 --> 01:15:23,120 Speaker 1: You're you're deep into your second year now with this club, 1441 01:15:23,200 --> 01:15:25,840 Speaker 1: and you watched them last year put together the great 1442 01:15:25,880 --> 01:15:28,320 Speaker 1: season they did. You and you know you saw Josh 1443 01:15:28,400 --> 01:15:31,120 Speaker 1: played like he did last year. You saw this offense 1444 01:15:31,240 --> 01:15:34,519 Speaker 1: with Steph Diggs, you know, take a step your defense 1445 01:15:35,040 --> 01:15:38,280 Speaker 1: last year and has really kind of changed this year. 1446 01:15:38,400 --> 01:15:40,680 Speaker 1: You went from kind of middle of the pack last year, 1447 01:15:40,760 --> 01:15:43,120 Speaker 1: now you're top, you know, the top of the league. 1448 01:15:43,880 --> 01:15:48,560 Speaker 1: What differences? What are the most stark differences for you 1449 01:15:48,760 --> 01:15:51,160 Speaker 1: and this team? Because every team is different every year, 1450 01:15:51,360 --> 01:15:53,240 Speaker 1: right this is a different team than it was last year. 1451 01:15:53,560 --> 01:15:55,559 Speaker 1: What are the big differences for you for the Buffalo 1452 01:15:55,640 --> 01:15:57,880 Speaker 1: Bills this year as opposed to last year? Maybe on 1453 01:15:57,960 --> 01:16:02,280 Speaker 1: both sides of the bowl. Yeah, what's different is definitely 1454 01:16:02,320 --> 01:16:05,599 Speaker 1: I think everyone it's it sucks get into the AFC 1455 01:16:05,800 --> 01:16:08,760 Speaker 1: Championship and losing, you know, but I think that right 1456 01:16:08,840 --> 01:16:12,120 Speaker 1: there is is huge for us, you know, just guys 1457 01:16:12,200 --> 01:16:15,080 Speaker 1: seeing what it takes to get there and and we 1458 01:16:15,200 --> 01:16:17,200 Speaker 1: got there. But I mean that's not the goal. You know, 1459 01:16:17,280 --> 01:16:19,240 Speaker 1: the overall goal is you want to win a championship. 1460 01:16:19,280 --> 01:16:20,560 Speaker 1: You want to get to the Super Bowl, you know, 1461 01:16:21,520 --> 01:16:23,639 Speaker 1: so us coming up short last year, I definitely think 1462 01:16:23,680 --> 01:16:25,920 Speaker 1: that that built our team in a huge way. And 1463 01:16:26,880 --> 01:16:28,800 Speaker 1: I know this team has had up and downs even 1464 01:16:28,840 --> 01:16:30,400 Speaker 1: the past couple of years, you know, before I even 1465 01:16:30,479 --> 01:16:33,360 Speaker 1: got here. But I mean just the one continuous trend 1466 01:16:33,479 --> 01:16:35,800 Speaker 1: on this team is just everyone's always just on the rise. 1467 01:16:35,960 --> 01:16:40,000 Speaker 1: You know, everyone's really just taking their game and speaking 1468 01:16:40,040 --> 01:16:42,240 Speaker 1: it and putting it into existence, you know. And I 1469 01:16:42,360 --> 01:16:45,080 Speaker 1: think people might laugh, you know, but I think that's 1470 01:16:45,080 --> 01:16:46,599 Speaker 1: a huge thing with our defense. You know, we talk 1471 01:16:46,640 --> 01:16:48,960 Speaker 1: about taking the ball away every single day. We talk 1472 01:16:48,960 --> 01:16:51,880 Speaker 1: about getting the ball out whatever, however it is, punching 1473 01:16:51,920 --> 01:16:54,080 Speaker 1: the ball out, picking it off, you know, and you're 1474 01:16:54,120 --> 01:16:56,400 Speaker 1: seeing it transpire, you know, once we get out there 1475 01:16:56,439 --> 01:16:58,719 Speaker 1: in the game. So I think if we just continue 1476 01:16:58,760 --> 01:17:02,200 Speaker 1: to do that and just keep elevating our game each 1477 01:17:02,280 --> 01:17:04,640 Speaker 1: weekend and week out and never get comfortable, you know, 1478 01:17:04,720 --> 01:17:07,879 Speaker 1: I mean, never get satisfied, it's only gonna keep elevating 1479 01:17:07,920 --> 01:17:10,479 Speaker 1: this team. Last one for you, Tyler, and we'll let 1480 01:17:10,560 --> 01:17:14,280 Speaker 1: you go. I was very taken by Josh's comment after 1481 01:17:14,360 --> 01:17:16,479 Speaker 1: the game last week when he was asked about Tyler. 1482 01:17:16,560 --> 01:17:19,720 Speaker 1: Bass gave him a huge compliment because the kickers are 1483 01:17:19,760 --> 01:17:22,479 Speaker 1: always kind of like, ah, they are these guys over here, 1484 01:17:22,920 --> 01:17:27,120 Speaker 1: are they really football players? But Josh said, Tyler's a 1485 01:17:27,200 --> 01:17:31,280 Speaker 1: football player. Uh, not a description that you often here 1486 01:17:31,760 --> 01:17:34,640 Speaker 1: for a kicker. Um, what do you think it is 1487 01:17:35,000 --> 01:17:39,160 Speaker 1: that makes him, you know, such a such a part 1488 01:17:39,200 --> 01:17:42,439 Speaker 1: of this team that has teammates thinking to him as 1489 01:17:42,479 --> 01:17:44,760 Speaker 1: a football player, not just a kicker, you know what 1490 01:17:44,840 --> 01:17:49,439 Speaker 1: I mean? Yeah, Oh, I mean, shoot, you guys all 1491 01:17:49,479 --> 01:17:51,280 Speaker 1: saying he's out there, he's got his he's got his 1492 01:17:51,400 --> 01:17:53,599 Speaker 1: one eye black strip out there. You know, he's got 1493 01:17:53,680 --> 01:17:57,120 Speaker 1: his little little swaggerness to him. But uh, I mean, shoot, 1494 01:17:57,160 --> 01:17:59,559 Speaker 1: every time we do tackling drills or even when we're 1495 01:17:59,560 --> 01:18:01,880 Speaker 1: doing kick at the end of every play, you always 1496 01:18:01,920 --> 01:18:04,519 Speaker 1: see number two coming in like almost as if he 1497 01:18:04,640 --> 01:18:06,880 Speaker 1: was gonna square up a return or whoever has the ball, 1498 01:18:06,920 --> 01:18:09,000 Speaker 1: and you're always you always laugh, but you're just like 1499 01:18:09,080 --> 01:18:10,840 Speaker 1: Tea Bass, what are you doing? But that's just who 1500 01:18:10,880 --> 01:18:13,560 Speaker 1: he is. Kid really wants to hit somebody. And I 1501 01:18:13,680 --> 01:18:15,679 Speaker 1: love that about Tea Bass. That's what makes Sea Bass 1502 01:18:15,720 --> 01:18:19,200 Speaker 1: t bats. All right, Well, listen, Tyler, we appreciate the time, 1503 01:18:20,000 --> 01:18:21,880 Speaker 1: but we've run out of it, so go get yourself 1504 01:18:21,960 --> 01:18:24,479 Speaker 1: a shower, make sure you're icing up, getting a cold 1505 01:18:24,520 --> 01:18:26,519 Speaker 1: tub so you're ready for Sunday night. We'll be watching 1506 01:18:26,600 --> 01:18:29,760 Speaker 1: out there, all right. Good luck. Appreciate you guys having me, 1507 01:18:29,880 --> 01:18:33,120 Speaker 1: all right. That's Bills Linebacker Special Teams Aace Tyler Plantakavic 1508 01:18:34,000 --> 01:18:36,160 Speaker 1: and his appearance brought to you by Austin Air, the 1509 01:18:36,200 --> 01:18:38,360 Speaker 1: official clean air provider of the Buffalo Bills. We'll take 1510 01:18:38,360 --> 01:18:40,360 Speaker 1: a break here, but when we come back, we'll hear 1511 01:18:40,360 --> 01:18:43,559 Speaker 1: from number seventeen Josh Allen addressing the media after practice 1512 01:18:43,600 --> 01:18:58,479 Speaker 1: here today. Stay tuned, all right, welcome back to one 1513 01:18:58,560 --> 01:19:02,080 Speaker 1: Bills Live. Chris Brown, Steve asking with you. It is Wednesday, 1514 01:19:02,240 --> 01:19:04,640 Speaker 1: which is media day, and that means Josh Allen is 1515 01:19:04,640 --> 01:19:07,839 Speaker 1: addressing the media as he does every Wednesday after practice. 1516 01:19:07,880 --> 01:19:16,400 Speaker 1: So let's go there now to listen to the Bill's quarterback. Well, 1517 01:19:16,439 --> 01:19:18,920 Speaker 1: I think just the speed that he's playing the game 1518 01:19:18,960 --> 01:19:23,080 Speaker 1: out right now, he sees everything. He's so long, all 1519 01:19:23,120 --> 01:19:25,920 Speaker 1: of his limbs are just they're everywhere. He can get 1520 01:19:25,960 --> 01:19:29,880 Speaker 1: to the passer um he can wide now and then 1521 01:19:30,520 --> 01:19:34,559 Speaker 1: you know cut on an incut extremely quick, almost quicker 1522 01:19:34,560 --> 01:19:37,479 Speaker 1: than the receiver can. So just the game that he's processing, 1523 01:19:37,680 --> 01:19:39,479 Speaker 1: Just the way he's processing the game right now, it's 1524 01:19:39,479 --> 01:19:41,920 Speaker 1: just so quick. His body's moving along with his mind 1525 01:19:41,960 --> 01:19:43,599 Speaker 1: and it's awesome to see he's just out there making 1526 01:19:43,640 --> 01:19:49,000 Speaker 1: play after play. You. I mean, obviously this is it's 1527 01:19:49,040 --> 01:19:53,280 Speaker 1: a big game. Football Teams Championship rematch. But you find 1528 01:19:53,360 --> 01:19:56,880 Speaker 1: yourself struggling to not make it bigger than it is 1529 01:19:57,400 --> 01:19:59,960 Speaker 1: because it is a big game. It's a Sunday night football, 1530 01:20:00,040 --> 01:20:02,400 Speaker 1: do you do. You have to brain yourself in and 1531 01:20:02,600 --> 01:20:05,880 Speaker 1: remember that it is maybe just one of one of seventeen. Yeah, 1532 01:20:06,120 --> 01:20:08,040 Speaker 1: that's all it is. It's week five, you know. Um, 1533 01:20:09,680 --> 01:20:12,280 Speaker 1: I would assume if they're thinking the same thing, everybody 1534 01:20:12,320 --> 01:20:14,920 Speaker 1: wants to make this big bill about the AFC Championship rematch, 1535 01:20:14,960 --> 01:20:16,960 Speaker 1: and I get that's what it is. But it's a 1536 01:20:17,040 --> 01:20:18,640 Speaker 1: new year, and you know, this team is different than 1537 01:20:18,720 --> 01:20:21,280 Speaker 1: last year, and their team is different than last year. Um, 1538 01:20:21,600 --> 01:20:24,800 Speaker 1: you know, they're again, but they're the kind of the 1539 01:20:24,880 --> 01:20:26,840 Speaker 1: gold standard of what you would want to be as 1540 01:20:26,880 --> 01:20:29,360 Speaker 1: ann as an AFC team, you know, being to the 1541 01:20:29,479 --> 01:20:32,439 Speaker 1: ASC Championship the last three years and um, you know, 1542 01:20:32,520 --> 01:20:35,280 Speaker 1: competing for Super Bowls is what they've been doing, you know. 1543 01:20:35,360 --> 01:20:37,519 Speaker 1: So that's what every team wants to be until somebody 1544 01:20:37,560 --> 01:20:40,840 Speaker 1: knocks them off in the playoffs. That won't change. But again, 1545 01:20:40,880 --> 01:20:43,160 Speaker 1: this is Week five, Um, it's the biggest game on 1546 01:20:43,240 --> 01:20:45,960 Speaker 1: our schedule, like I said earlier, because it's the next one. 1547 01:20:46,040 --> 01:20:51,479 Speaker 1: And that's how we're approaching this game. Look, guys, are 1548 01:20:51,560 --> 01:20:53,800 Speaker 1: you're gonna be rivots for a long time. He's got 1549 01:20:53,840 --> 01:20:55,760 Speaker 1: he got you twice last year. Is that kind of 1550 01:20:56,280 --> 01:20:58,800 Speaker 1: role you royal with you a little bit? No? I mean, 1551 01:20:59,160 --> 01:21:01,120 Speaker 1: obviously I wish I played better in those games and 1552 01:21:01,200 --> 01:21:03,639 Speaker 1: help our team win a football game. Um, but that's 1553 01:21:03,640 --> 01:21:05,040 Speaker 1: all I'm trying to do. Put us in a position 1554 01:21:05,080 --> 01:21:07,200 Speaker 1: where we can try to win football game, and that's 1555 01:21:07,240 --> 01:21:09,000 Speaker 1: all I can do. And again, I got the utmost 1556 01:21:09,040 --> 01:21:11,560 Speaker 1: respect for Pat in his game and really as a 1557 01:21:11,600 --> 01:21:15,560 Speaker 1: person too. He's he's an amazing human being and you 1558 01:21:15,640 --> 01:21:18,000 Speaker 1: see him on the field, he makes some unbelievable plays 1559 01:21:18,040 --> 01:21:21,000 Speaker 1: and um, you know, one of the if not the 1560 01:21:21,080 --> 01:21:23,040 Speaker 1: best quarterback in the league right now. So I got 1561 01:21:23,080 --> 01:21:25,040 Speaker 1: a lot of praise for him. And anytime you play 1562 01:21:25,520 --> 01:21:28,400 Speaker 1: against that team, they're never out of it. So, um, 1563 01:21:28,800 --> 01:21:30,880 Speaker 1: you know, we gotta be on our p's and q's 1564 01:21:30,920 --> 01:21:32,519 Speaker 1: on offense, and like I said, you try to give 1565 01:21:32,520 --> 01:21:35,040 Speaker 1: ourselves a chance to win a game. You know, last 1566 01:21:35,080 --> 01:21:36,840 Speaker 1: years in the past. But one of the things coming 1567 01:21:36,840 --> 01:21:38,760 Speaker 1: out of that game where a couple of times where 1568 01:21:39,200 --> 01:21:41,800 Speaker 1: we were down in their end and kick field goals 1569 01:21:41,800 --> 01:21:44,599 Speaker 1: instead of eighty going forward on for it down. Um, 1570 01:21:45,120 --> 01:21:47,759 Speaker 1: in those types of situations, I recognize for all unique 1571 01:21:47,760 --> 01:21:50,320 Speaker 1: and different. But how much are your campaigning maybe with 1572 01:21:50,479 --> 01:21:53,240 Speaker 1: Bryan or with Sean to go for it? I would imagine, 1573 01:21:53,360 --> 01:21:56,560 Speaker 1: you know, the offensive player's mentality is almost always to 1574 01:21:56,640 --> 01:21:58,679 Speaker 1: want to go for it. Yeah, I mean, if they're 1575 01:21:58,800 --> 01:22:00,160 Speaker 1: up to me, I'd go for it every time. But 1576 01:22:00,800 --> 01:22:03,320 Speaker 1: we gotta trust with the analytics and the stats show 1577 01:22:03,400 --> 01:22:07,320 Speaker 1: and ultimately what coach Scut's telling him. You know, we're 1578 01:22:07,360 --> 01:22:10,439 Speaker 1: out there just right execute and uh, you know, obviously 1579 01:22:10,720 --> 01:22:14,280 Speaker 1: everybody wants six instead of three down there, and you know, 1580 01:22:14,360 --> 01:22:16,560 Speaker 1: when we get those opportunities, we have to execute. And 1581 01:22:17,240 --> 01:22:18,880 Speaker 1: I can't say that we've been great in the red 1582 01:22:18,960 --> 01:22:20,760 Speaker 1: zone this year. So that's a point of emphasis that 1583 01:22:20,760 --> 01:22:22,439 Speaker 1: we're gonna have. You know, once we get down there, 1584 01:22:22,439 --> 01:22:25,479 Speaker 1: we gotta put six on the board and really help 1585 01:22:25,560 --> 01:22:27,679 Speaker 1: our defense out that way by putting points up. There's 1586 01:22:27,720 --> 01:22:30,840 Speaker 1: sometimes willing to send big blitz is you know six 1587 01:22:30,960 --> 01:22:33,200 Speaker 1: get six plus guys just kind of what do you 1588 01:22:33,280 --> 01:22:37,000 Speaker 1: think of they're defensive that challenge that they Yeah, I mean, 1589 01:22:37,040 --> 01:22:40,800 Speaker 1: they're they're extremely versatile on defense. They got safeties that 1590 01:22:40,800 --> 01:22:43,880 Speaker 1: will cover receivers, tight ends, running backs. They got corners 1591 01:22:43,920 --> 01:22:47,000 Speaker 1: that will cover everybody on the field. Two, they'll give 1592 01:22:47,040 --> 01:22:50,640 Speaker 1: you different looks, play man from different looks. So they 1593 01:22:50,760 --> 01:22:53,840 Speaker 1: really really switch it up on you. So just making 1594 01:22:53,880 --> 01:22:56,880 Speaker 1: sure we're right on our reads and understanding from me 1595 01:22:57,080 --> 01:22:59,200 Speaker 1: pressure getting the ball out and getting the ball out 1596 01:22:59,720 --> 01:23:01,880 Speaker 1: to the right guy and giving ourselves the chance to 1597 01:23:02,000 --> 01:23:05,240 Speaker 1: catch and run. But um, you know, the defense, it 1598 01:23:05,320 --> 01:23:08,720 Speaker 1: just you know, presents a really really tough challenge and um, 1599 01:23:08,880 --> 01:23:12,439 Speaker 1: you know film week, film film review, pressure review. That's 1600 01:23:12,439 --> 01:23:14,519 Speaker 1: gonna be huge for us this week. Making sure protections 1601 01:23:14,520 --> 01:23:16,519 Speaker 1: are good and when we're not protected, I got to 1602 01:23:16,560 --> 01:23:18,439 Speaker 1: make a good decision with the football. It was made 1603 01:23:18,479 --> 01:23:22,920 Speaker 1: of their cornerbacks sticky coverage during last year's game. Tony 1604 01:23:23,000 --> 01:23:25,200 Speaker 1: Romo made a big deal out of it. Understandably, would 1605 01:23:25,200 --> 01:23:28,040 Speaker 1: you would you think it's sticky or handsy? Yeah, I 1606 01:23:28,040 --> 01:23:30,440 Speaker 1: mean they do a good job of you know, disrupting 1607 01:23:30,479 --> 01:23:32,920 Speaker 1: receivers at the line of scrimmage. Um, you know, and 1608 01:23:32,960 --> 01:23:35,360 Speaker 1: they're not flags if they don't call them, so um 1609 01:23:35,680 --> 01:23:38,360 Speaker 1: you know they're they're again. I think they returned most 1610 01:23:38,400 --> 01:23:40,960 Speaker 1: of their guys from last year. Um, I've see some 1611 01:23:41,120 --> 01:23:43,680 Speaker 1: some Swiss ups, but their corners and they'll get in 1612 01:23:43,720 --> 01:23:45,960 Speaker 1: your face and Jamie at the line. So our receivers 1613 01:23:46,000 --> 01:23:47,760 Speaker 1: got to do a good job and we gotta win 1614 01:23:47,840 --> 01:23:50,200 Speaker 1: some one on one battles. Um. But again that's that's 1615 01:23:50,200 --> 01:23:52,800 Speaker 1: every week, you know. And when it's zone, find the 1616 01:23:52,880 --> 01:23:54,960 Speaker 1: right find the right zone to put the ball. When 1617 01:23:54,960 --> 01:23:57,080 Speaker 1: it's man, you gotta have your guys win. So Um, 1618 01:23:57,360 --> 01:24:01,639 Speaker 1: that'll never change, Josh. Last year, you guys got into 1619 01:24:01,680 --> 01:24:03,320 Speaker 1: a lot of games that were high scoring. I mean 1620 01:24:03,680 --> 01:24:06,479 Speaker 1: there were some shootouts last year. How how different is 1621 01:24:06,520 --> 01:24:09,519 Speaker 1: it this season because their defense clearly is playing at 1622 01:24:09,560 --> 01:24:13,040 Speaker 1: a different level. I think that the how comfort he 1623 01:24:13,080 --> 01:24:16,200 Speaker 1: hasn to know you don't have to score every time 1624 01:24:16,240 --> 01:24:17,920 Speaker 1: you get the ball, like in some games you kind 1625 01:24:17,960 --> 01:24:20,080 Speaker 1: of did last year. Yeah, I mean, ultimately that's our 1626 01:24:20,120 --> 01:24:23,120 Speaker 1: goal is to score every drive and we understand you 1627 01:24:23,200 --> 01:24:26,120 Speaker 1: know that's not going to happen. Um, But ending every 1628 01:24:26,400 --> 01:24:28,360 Speaker 1: every possession with the kick, I'll be at a field goal, 1629 01:24:29,160 --> 01:24:33,120 Speaker 1: pat or a punt um, not giving them a short field. Um. 1630 01:24:33,240 --> 01:24:36,080 Speaker 1: But again, their their defense, it's it's only week five. 1631 01:24:36,120 --> 01:24:37,760 Speaker 1: They're only going to continue to get better and they're 1632 01:24:37,760 --> 01:24:41,400 Speaker 1: gonna find their groove. Um, you know in their defensive coordinators. 1633 01:24:42,160 --> 01:24:44,479 Speaker 1: His track record speaks for itself. You know, he's he's 1634 01:24:44,479 --> 01:24:45,960 Speaker 1: coaching a lot of big games and in one a 1635 01:24:46,000 --> 01:24:48,400 Speaker 1: lot of big games. So um, you know, I got 1636 01:24:48,600 --> 01:24:51,160 Speaker 1: no doubt that defense will get going. So we got 1637 01:24:51,240 --> 01:24:53,479 Speaker 1: to be ready for whatever they throw out us was 1638 01:24:53,520 --> 01:24:55,160 Speaker 1: what I was talking. Oh no, no, mean that you've 1639 01:24:55,200 --> 01:24:57,439 Speaker 1: got these guys. You don't have to score every time, 1640 01:24:57,479 --> 01:24:59,760 Speaker 1: it seems like this year because they're playing so well 1641 01:25:00,040 --> 01:25:02,360 Speaker 1: other sides for you guys. Yeah, but again, you know, 1642 01:25:02,439 --> 01:25:05,519 Speaker 1: complimentary football. What we're gonna do is obviously put up 1643 01:25:05,520 --> 01:25:07,599 Speaker 1: points early and try to make the other team one dimensional. 1644 01:25:07,640 --> 01:25:10,920 Speaker 1: And you know coach McDermott preaches that, and um, really 1645 01:25:10,960 --> 01:25:12,640 Speaker 1: that's that's a goal for every team, you know, to 1646 01:25:13,160 --> 01:25:15,519 Speaker 1: be able to force him to be in passing situations 1647 01:25:15,560 --> 01:25:18,080 Speaker 1: where do you line pen their ears back and try 1648 01:25:18,080 --> 01:25:20,719 Speaker 1: to go get to quarterback. So um, it all compliments 1649 01:25:20,760 --> 01:25:22,439 Speaker 1: each other and we got to be good on our 1650 01:25:22,479 --> 01:25:26,160 Speaker 1: part as well. Shan See fairly perturbed about the phone issue, 1651 01:25:26,160 --> 01:25:27,479 Speaker 1: and I know obviously the weather it was a big 1652 01:25:27,520 --> 01:25:31,120 Speaker 1: back in Alaski, but hasn't been frustrated that this continues 1653 01:25:31,160 --> 01:25:33,560 Speaker 1: to be something that he's worked on the side for 1654 01:25:33,680 --> 01:25:36,280 Speaker 1: the year and the least got to prove. Yeah, I mean, 1655 01:25:36,880 --> 01:25:39,000 Speaker 1: um again, we don't want to turn the ball over 1656 01:25:39,280 --> 01:25:40,599 Speaker 1: and we don't want to put the ball on the ground. 1657 01:25:40,600 --> 01:25:42,599 Speaker 1: I don't want to put the ball in harm's way 1658 01:25:42,640 --> 01:25:44,920 Speaker 1: in the air. Um So yeah, that's a that's a 1659 01:25:44,960 --> 01:25:46,920 Speaker 1: point of emphasis every week, and we got to be 1660 01:25:47,000 --> 01:25:49,840 Speaker 1: better at it. We know that. Um So we're doing 1661 01:25:49,880 --> 01:25:52,400 Speaker 1: we're doing drills and all that stuff. But um you know, 1662 01:25:52,479 --> 01:25:54,760 Speaker 1: once once the game goes, you know, we gotta trust 1663 01:25:54,800 --> 01:25:57,000 Speaker 1: our guys to make the right decisions and cover up. 1664 01:25:57,040 --> 01:25:59,160 Speaker 1: And I got no doubt we will. Josh took last 1665 01:25:59,160 --> 01:26:02,080 Speaker 1: week about what ball drill obviously came in handy playing 1666 01:26:02,120 --> 01:26:05,160 Speaker 1: in those elements. Now going on the road, it's already 1667 01:26:05,200 --> 01:26:07,200 Speaker 1: kind of working with Mitch and some silent counts and 1668 01:26:07,240 --> 01:26:11,080 Speaker 1: stuff of that. How much can you replicate that during 1669 01:26:11,280 --> 01:26:13,720 Speaker 1: the week going into such a hostile environment for the 1670 01:26:13,760 --> 01:26:16,080 Speaker 1: first time in a long time to be you know, 1671 01:26:16,160 --> 01:26:18,040 Speaker 1: sell up crowd of the road. Yeah, I mean, maybe 1672 01:26:18,160 --> 01:26:21,960 Speaker 1: the most hostile environment I've ever played in. You know, 1673 01:26:22,080 --> 01:26:24,400 Speaker 1: Kansas City. It's no one for being extremely loud, so 1674 01:26:25,640 --> 01:26:29,080 Speaker 1: really whatever you expect, you know, it's not gonna even 1675 01:26:29,080 --> 01:26:31,479 Speaker 1: amount to how it's gonna be, so we gotta be 1676 01:26:32,040 --> 01:26:34,160 Speaker 1: on point. You know, my voice is gonna be probably 1677 01:26:34,200 --> 01:26:36,960 Speaker 1: pretty horse after the game, just inside the huddle, making 1678 01:26:36,960 --> 01:26:39,559 Speaker 1: sure we're getting the play calls communication on point, because 1679 01:26:39,600 --> 01:26:42,760 Speaker 1: once you kind of spread out, you gotta either get 1680 01:26:42,800 --> 01:26:46,439 Speaker 1: to a check somehow quick and you gotta go because 1681 01:26:46,479 --> 01:26:48,320 Speaker 1: that play clocks running down on you. It makes it 1682 01:26:48,400 --> 01:26:51,240 Speaker 1: really tough. So it's a big advantage, you know, to 1683 01:26:51,320 --> 01:26:53,840 Speaker 1: have a crowd like that, and we gotta be ready 1684 01:26:53,840 --> 01:26:55,080 Speaker 1: for it, and like I said, go out there and 1685 01:26:55,120 --> 01:26:59,520 Speaker 1: try to execute, all right. So that's Josh Allen addressing 1686 01:27:00,400 --> 01:27:02,240 Speaker 1: the question everybody's got on their mind, what are you 1687 01:27:02,320 --> 01:27:05,240 Speaker 1: thinking about going into this game? And naturally he's trying 1688 01:27:05,280 --> 01:27:08,559 Speaker 1: to downplay the significance of it, but Josh credit, I mean, 1689 01:27:08,600 --> 01:27:09,840 Speaker 1: he did say it is a big game for us 1690 01:27:09,880 --> 01:27:14,240 Speaker 1: because it's the game this week. I think you and 1691 01:27:14,360 --> 01:27:21,120 Speaker 1: I know Josh is hyper competitive. And we just had 1692 01:27:21,160 --> 01:27:23,719 Speaker 1: Tyler on the show, Tyler Manikay, which you said, guys 1693 01:27:23,760 --> 01:27:27,160 Speaker 1: are thinking about last year's AFC title game. It's still 1694 01:27:27,160 --> 01:27:29,000 Speaker 1: in the back of their minds going into this one. 1695 01:27:30,040 --> 01:27:33,120 Speaker 1: I know you always talk about this though, the concern 1696 01:27:33,200 --> 01:27:36,760 Speaker 1: about needing to peel Josh off the ceiling, especially at 1697 01:27:36,800 --> 01:27:39,400 Speaker 1: the beginning of the game when you know his juices 1698 01:27:39,439 --> 01:27:47,240 Speaker 1: are going to be flowing. Yeah, absolutely, that's it seems 1699 01:27:47,240 --> 01:27:49,160 Speaker 1: to be a thing. But it was a thing for 1700 01:27:49,320 --> 01:27:51,800 Speaker 1: Tom Brady in New England last week as well. I 1701 01:27:51,880 --> 01:27:53,920 Speaker 1: think he was a little bit tight coming in into 1702 01:27:54,000 --> 01:27:56,960 Speaker 1: that game, and for good reason. I don't think and 1703 01:27:57,080 --> 01:27:59,320 Speaker 1: I here's the thing as well. I don't think it's 1704 01:27:59,400 --> 01:28:02,519 Speaker 1: just Jos you know. I think there's gonna be a 1705 01:28:02,680 --> 01:28:06,680 Speaker 1: ton of Buffalo Bills that are gonna be, you know, 1706 01:28:07,600 --> 01:28:11,160 Speaker 1: climbing the walls waiting for this game to start, wanting 1707 01:28:11,240 --> 01:28:13,880 Speaker 1: to be the guy who gets the team started right, 1708 01:28:14,200 --> 01:28:15,960 Speaker 1: wanting to be the guy who wins the game for 1709 01:28:16,040 --> 01:28:19,000 Speaker 1: this club in Kansas City. I don't think it's just 1710 01:28:19,080 --> 01:28:20,680 Speaker 1: gonna be Josh. I think it's gonna be one of 1711 01:28:20,720 --> 01:28:25,160 Speaker 1: those things. I think. Also, you know medic Kevich told 1712 01:28:25,240 --> 01:28:28,280 Speaker 1: us during his interview, Yeah, there's a lot of guys 1713 01:28:28,520 --> 01:28:31,960 Speaker 1: thinking about this game. It means something to these guys, 1714 01:28:32,680 --> 01:28:37,200 Speaker 1: So I think can that make it Can they focus 1715 01:28:37,360 --> 01:28:39,200 Speaker 1: that and make it a difference for him that gives 1716 01:28:39,240 --> 01:28:41,160 Speaker 1: him a chance to beat a really good football team 1717 01:28:41,320 --> 01:28:45,080 Speaker 1: in Kansas City. Yeah, that'll be a fun thing to watch. 1718 01:28:46,520 --> 01:28:49,479 Speaker 1: Have they gotten better? Are they a different team? Is 1719 01:28:49,560 --> 01:28:51,880 Speaker 1: this team this year in twenty twenty one better than 1720 01:28:51,920 --> 01:28:54,519 Speaker 1: the team was in twenty twenty Are the Chiefs worse? 1721 01:28:55,439 --> 01:28:57,439 Speaker 1: Are the Chiefs going to struggle against this team? Or 1722 01:28:57,479 --> 01:29:00,240 Speaker 1: the bill is going to be better defensively? I think 1723 01:29:00,240 --> 01:29:02,200 Speaker 1: there's a lot of things that you have to look 1724 01:29:02,240 --> 01:29:05,200 Speaker 1: for in this game that give you pause. The Chiefs 1725 01:29:05,360 --> 01:29:07,599 Speaker 1: came into Buffalo last year in a rainstorm on Monday 1726 01:29:07,680 --> 01:29:09,960 Speaker 1: night beat the Bills, and then the Bills went to 1727 01:29:10,080 --> 01:29:14,760 Speaker 1: Kansas City and got beat in Kansas City. What is 1728 01:29:14,800 --> 01:29:17,960 Speaker 1: going to be different about these two teams in this game? 1729 01:29:19,240 --> 01:29:22,680 Speaker 1: Certainly the Bills are going to be really highly motivated, 1730 01:29:22,840 --> 01:29:24,519 Speaker 1: But as to your question, where they're gonna be too 1731 01:29:24,600 --> 01:29:29,799 Speaker 1: highly motivated? Yeah, we'll see. We'll talk about it more tomorrow, 1732 01:29:30,000 --> 01:29:32,080 Speaker 1: Field Yates, Mike golicks senor will see you then.
