1
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 1: This is One Bill's Live, presented by Calida Health. How

2
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 1: are you doing on this Tuesday, Chris Brown, Steve tasking

Speaker 1: at One Bill's Drive off today. But we'll be back

6
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 1: at it tomorrow. Although we are at the point of

7
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 1: the season where we see walk through practices on Wednesdays

8
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 1: more often than not, give the bodies an extra day

9
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 1: to recover, and so I would anticipate that tomorrow.

10
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 2: I kind of got a little bit of nostalgias looking

11
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 2: around we were walking through. We came into work today

12
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 2: and going to get caught, you know, stop walking around

13
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 2: the building. A lot of guys in on their day off.

14
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: Yes, and.

15
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 2: I remember hitting the weights and hit me. It hit

16
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 2: me like, oh yeah, you don't want to You don't

17
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 2: want to stay away from when you're playing football the

18
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 2: way they're playing right now, there seven in a row.

19
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 2: You don't want to go home. I mean, you love

20
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,320
Speaker 2: your white but you want to be here. You want

21
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 2: to be with the dudes. You want to keep it going.

22
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 2: You feel like this vibe is rolling. You can tell

23
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 2: guys are.

24
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 1: Just and I'm not gonna be the guy. That's the

25
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:31,759
Speaker 1: reason this streak ends.

26
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 2: The energy is palpable in the building, and there's a

27
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,399
Speaker 2: lot of people here. Yeah, there's a lot of Typically.

28
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: They're here on Monday doing their conditioning stuff with the

29
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 1: strength and Conditioning staff by yeah, which is mandatory obviously,

30
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: but then today's usually that day off. Quarterbacks are usually

31
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: here because they're already crunching the film.

32
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 2: See them, because they're like mushrooms. They're in a dark

33
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 2: room washing, but they're like in a cave watching film.

34
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 2: But that's not let mushrooms watch film. But you get

35
00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 2: my own point. Yes, yeah, the building's energized. They won

36
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 2: the division and they got a ton to play for. Yep,

37
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 2: and nobody, nobody wants it to stop. They're all kind

38
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 2: of let's go. Yeah, it's different, vibe this this morning different.

39
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,679
Speaker 1: And I think there's some of that too, like I'm

40
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: not going to be the guy that stops his train rolling.

41
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,119
Speaker 1: I'm going to get in there and do my work

42
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 1: because I'm not going to be the one that's going

43
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: to be the weak link here.

44
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 2: And yesterday everybody was kind of laying low because you know,

45
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 2: you're you're kind of hanging from the game, even if

46
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 2: you win the game, and like they did, you know late,

47
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 2: it's late night. Everybody's kind of getting some rest today

48
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 2: when it's kind of like, okay, turn the page, let's go. Yeah,

49
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 2: the energy's back on. Yeah, the lights are on.

50
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: It was.

51
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 2: It's pretty cool to see. You can feel it.

52
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: It is. And the longest trip of the year. Well,

53
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 1: maybe Seattle's a little further would you say, no, No,

54
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: it's on the narrower part of the Earth. So because

55
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: it's up further north, well the curvature of the earth.

56
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: So when you fly to Seattle, the pilot flies almost

57
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: like into northern Canada because you cut across the narrower

58
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: part of the Earth and it's fewer air miles, less

59
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: jet fuel burned. Whereas La you got to go around

60
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: the fatter part of the earth. It's more air miles.

61
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 2: You know that.

62
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:11,079
Speaker 1: Why are you looking at me like you've never heard

63
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 1: of that?

64
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 2: But it's because you gotta fly a long way south

65
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 2: to get to La. Also west, Yeah, just fatter part

66
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 2: of the earth. Because Seattle straight west. LA is the

67
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 2: same on the same longitude, but it's more southern latitude.

68
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 2: So you got to go it's like going to the

69
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 2: opposite corner of a square. Yeah, right, the rectangle, So yes,

70
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 2: it further to La.

71
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: So longest trip of the year with the Northern for

72
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: the Bills this week as they head out to face

73
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: a Rams team that is a little tough to figure.

74
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: They've been very much up and down, got off to

75
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: a super slow start this season, one and four out

76
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: of the shoot but they're right in the midst of

77
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: that NFC West Division race, which is really muddled right

78
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: now with five games to go, and I think all

79
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: of those teams realize the only team in that division

80
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: that's getting to the playoffs is probably the division winner. Yeah,

81
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be any wild cards out of the

82
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: wet NFC West this year.

83
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 2: The West, I mean, the the Rams are two and

84
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 2: two over their last four, but they've won five out

85
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 2: of their last and so they're they're on a heater,

86
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 2: a little bit of a heater, and they're they still

87
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 2: got the intensity turned up because they're trying to get

88
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 2: in it and their two games are one game back

89
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 2: of the division that that division is a mess out there.

90
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 1: We talked about a tone, Yeah, you know, we failed

91
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: to discuss snowfall total. Steve oh Yeah, what did you

92
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 1: end up getting in your fair? I got village.

93
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 2: I think we got about fourteen between between sixteen and twenty,

94
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 2: probably sixteen and twenty, I'm thinking we it was it

95
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 2: was well over a foot, well over a foot almost

96
00:04:55,760 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 2: two feet. Yeah, and and we, in fact, much to

97
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 2: our chagrin, on the way home from I had to

98
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 2: pick up a couple of stragglers on the way back

99
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,840
Speaker 2: from Orchard Park to after the game. Yeah, hitchhikers they were.

100
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 1: There were a lot of people walking.

101
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 2: They had because Ober was out of commission that people

102
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,119
Speaker 2: couldn't get it in The guy's there were two guys

103
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 2: and they were like they were going to walk to

104
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,280
Speaker 2: their you know, to their place they were staying. It

105
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 2: was in Eastern they're the village of op and they

106
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 2: were walking to East Aurora. It's like nine mile. It's like,

107
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 2: I don't know, it's like seven miles, right, that's a hike. Yeah.

108
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 2: I was like, dude, get in. They're like thanks, Yeah.

109
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 2: I felt bad for him. They're San Francisco fans. One

110
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 2: was from San Francisco. The other guys from Houston. Buttonling

111
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 2: of lifelong buddies and they're like yeah, thanks, Like we

112
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 2: were going to walk. I was like, no, you weren't. Yeah,

113
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 2: you'd be, you'd be. You'd be like somebody left for

114
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,919
Speaker 2: dead on Everest. The reason I brought that up was

115
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 2: because on Sunday night, when it was supposed to have

116
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 2: stopped snowing, it was this bad as I've seen it

117
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,719
Speaker 2: on the way home. I mean it was big flakes,

118
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 2: white out, coming down like a blanket.

119
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 1: Right.

120
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 2: It was bad. So we got a ton.

121
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: I got two inches in my house. You got a

122
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 1: white two inches of snow. Why you even bring that up.

123
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 1: That's not even worth it. I am very close. I

124
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,799
Speaker 1: am very close to the edge of the typical snow

125
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 1: belt when it sets up in the south towns, but

126
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: not close enough so when I look out of the

127
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 1: back of my house through my kitchen window, there are

128
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: some days where I can see the snowband, yeah, five

129
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: miles off from where we are up in the sky,

130
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 1: and it's not dropping anything on us. Now, there are exceptions.

131
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 1: I mean when we had snow Vember, I got over

132
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: five feet. I didn't get as much as you did,

133
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 1: but I got over five feet.

134
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 2: Yeah you got, yeah, you got, we got I think

135
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,799
Speaker 2: we got ninety point five that snow thing.

136
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I had about sixty Yeah, but more often

137
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,840
Speaker 1: than not, I only get a taste of what you

138
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,919
Speaker 1: guys get down here, which I have no problem with.

139
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 1: I don't need to be part of that party. I mean,

140
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 1: not that it's a problem. You know, it gets moved.

141
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 1: My wife follows this influencer on Instagram and she's an

142
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: LA person, but she apparently has a boyfriend in Erie,

143
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: Pa and she was here this past weekend, and so

144
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: she's doing all these posts, you know, frolicking in the

145
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 1: snow thinking it's fun. And then my wife told me

146
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 1: that this influencer was adding on Instagram like the governor

147
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: of Pennsylvania and the local mayor saying, hey, are you

148
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: going to bring trucks through to clear the streets because

149
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: we have hospital workers that need to get to the hospital.

150
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 1: And I said, she's doing what And then the next

151
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: thing I said was she's clearly not from here. They

152
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 1: got it covered, like they know what they're doing. Like yeah,

153
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 1: I So then I tried to put myself in the

154
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: in the place if someone from Los Angeles who doesn't

155
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: experience multiple feet of snow and how it's handled right,

156
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: And I guess I still don't even think like you've

157
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: seen snowplows, Like even if you live in Los Angeles,

158
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 1: Like with all of the media that gets thrown to us,

159
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: you've seen snowplows in action on some video on social.

160
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 2: Media, be roll on social media where they show truck.

161
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: Clearly, these municipalities have equipment to move the snow.

162
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:34,959
Speaker 2: Man. You get these West Coast teams coming in, their

163
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 2: fans come in, They're like, well they don't know that,

164
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 2: you know, first greater questions.

165
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, like I'm sending a message.

166
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 2: What do I do? What do the first responders do?

167
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 1: What are they gonna do? Oh my gosh, what were

168
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 1: the hospital workers gonna get to the hot swish?

169
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 2: Swedish?

170
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 1: We're gonna clear the street in half an hour?

171
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 2: Just like just be quiet?

172
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, that always like what is going.

173
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 2: We were out? Yeah yesterday, I'm like today, Hey, we're good,

174
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 2: let's go. I mean today the streets. Yeah, everybody's going.

175
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 1: I guess we're supposed to get some more snow Wednesday

176
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 1: or Thursday Wednesday in.

177
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,199
Speaker 2: Well, we're gonna get some more snow at some point.

178
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 2: But yeah, you know.

179
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: How much I don't know. I haven't looked paid enough attention.

180
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,959
Speaker 2: I had to replow my drive yesterday when I got home. Yeah,

181
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,199
Speaker 2: you know, just to clean it up a little. I'm

182
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 2: a little persnickety about that.

183
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 1: Yeah. But Patrick Hammer, one of the local medeorologists, heard

184
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 1: us talking about that Lake Huron thing that blew over

185
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 1: like three hundred miles of land or whatever it was,

186
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 1: and somehow reached us, got us, and he said, it

187
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 1: does happen. I was stunned. I had no idea lake

188
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 1: effect snow could travel that far.

189
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 2: And the reason I was.

190
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 1: So stupefied by it was because you remember the conditions

191
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: here on Sunday night. The wind was five miles per hour.

192
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 1: I checked it. There was no discernible wind of any kind.

193
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: If you got a thirty mile per hour wind. Okay,

194
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: I could wrap my head around seeing lake effect snow

195
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 1: traveling travel some two hundred miles to us.

196
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 2: I get it.

197
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: But with no discernible wind, how the heck does that happen?

198
00:09:58,240 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 3: Yeah?

199
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,559
Speaker 1: Ows my mind. I still can't wrap my head around

200
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 1: it that it traveled over that much land mass. I mean,

201
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: I'm sure it dropped it all along the way, but

202
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: to still get to hear that was crazy to me.

203
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:14,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, we're living in apocalyptic times.

204
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: Apparently you're not wrong about that.

205
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 2: Every every time you get one of these snows like this,

206
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 2: it's like, oh, it's the end time. Well, not so much, but.

207
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: A lot of But that's what a lot of the

208
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 1: meteorologists have said. They say, you know, with with climate

209
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 1: change that we're experiencing, much like the hurricanes in hurricane

210
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 1: regions are getting worse and more severe, our snowstorms are

211
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,599
Speaker 1: gonna get worse and more severe. Okay, I don't believe it.

212
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,319
Speaker 2: I believe I believe it. Yeah, it makes sense. That's fine.

213
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna I'm not a scientist. I'm not going

214
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 2: to pretend to know why, and I have no idea.

215
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I understand the hurricane, warmer water, stronger storms. Yeah,

216
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 1: that why it makes worse.

217
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 2: I know we've been getting like El Nino's every couple

218
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 2: of years or something. Now that it makes it, right,

219
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 2: I'm like, what, Yeah.

220
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 4: So sparing a couple of weather hats, that the Elmino

221
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:07,439
Speaker 4: thing where the current in the South Pacific out South

222
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 4: America goes the wrong way and all of a sudden,

223
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 4: you know, Mike, you know, you get pets freezing in

224
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 4: western New York.

225
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 1: I'm like, what, Okay, all right, here ended our weather

226
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 1: discussion because we are far from being experts on that subject.

227
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 1: So yeah, well yeah, very quickly, we kind of slipped

228
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 1: into that hole, didn't we really? Uh. No major updates

229
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: on the injury front for the Bills. All coach McDermott

230
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: said yesterday when he was addressing the media was that

231
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 1: Keon Coleman, Dalton Kincaid, and Dwayne Carter, who all missed

232
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 1: last week's game against the forty nine ers, are making

233
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 1: progress and their recovery is moving in the right direction.

234
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,679
Speaker 1: Kincaid did not practice at all last week, so it'd

235
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: be nice to see him start to at least get

236
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:00,200
Speaker 1: back on the field this week. We'll see if that

237
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: happens tomorrow. And then Keon Coleman was a limited participant

238
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 1: in practice all of last week but just didn't get

239
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 1: to a place where he'd be good enough to suit

240
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 1: up and play last Sunday. So is he that much

241
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 1: closer where he's going to be able to play, We'll

242
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:15,959
Speaker 1: have to wait and see. And then Dwayne Carter, Steve,

243
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: he's on IR still. They didn't activate him off IR yet.

244
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:21,959
Speaker 1: He was a full participant in practice all last week,

245
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 1: so to me, that speaks to ramp up week and

246
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 1: then if he looks even better this week, maybe he

247
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:29,839
Speaker 1: gets back on the fifteen eight man roster.

248
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:34,319
Speaker 2: It's yeah, it's kind of weird that way because you

249
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 2: see Keon walking around, so he doesn't he's not He

250
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 2: didn't have a thing on, a brace on or anything,

251
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 2: so that would speak to me. It'd be a little

252
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 2: bit of a soft tissue.

253
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: That was the other thing. I don't know if you

254
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 1: noticed this, but in the game on Sunday night, Amari

255
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,679
Speaker 1: Cooper cast is off. Yeah, the cast is off his

256
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:53,199
Speaker 1: left hand, which was encouraging to see. So that's all

257
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 1: good news. But that's really all the news we have

258
00:12:55,840 --> 00:13:00,679
Speaker 1: as far as Bills and collective health is concerned for them.

259
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 1: We do have to go around the NFL, which is

260
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 1: presented by Kalida Healthy, official healthcare system of the Buffalo Bills,

261
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 1: and we begin with Monday Night Football. Oh was this

262
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 1: one a barn.

263
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 2: I know a lot of people in Buffalo didn't have

264
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 2: skin in this game with Denver Cleveland, but one of

265
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 2: these teams was drunk and the other one was on LSD.

266
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 2: That game was all over the map.

267
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: Broncos outlasted the Browns forty one to thirty two. The

268
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 1: Broncos win came despite their normally solid defense, surrendering four

269
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 1: hundred ninety seven yards passing and four touchdowns to Brown's

270
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 1: quarterback Jamis Winston to go along with two hundred and

271
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 1: thirty five yards receiving from former Broncos first round pick

272
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 1: Jerry Judy, as Cleveland finished with a staggering five hundred

273
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:51,679
Speaker 1: and fifty two yards of total offense. So then you say, well,

274
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 1: how the heck did they lose? Well, that's because the

275
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 1: Broncos had three interceptions, two of which were returned for touchdowns,

276
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 1: and Denver moved to eight and five to keep itself

277
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 1: in the number seven spot in the AFC playoff race.

278
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 2: So they're in the side the two minutes. I'll give

279
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 2: you an example, inside the two minute warning of the

280
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 2: first half, they're going down, Jameis Winston going down trying

281
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 2: to get a field goal. They're down by four. Let's,

282
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 2: you know, let's try and keep it closed, Jamis Winston.

283
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:18,599
Speaker 2: They're inside the thirty, they're in field goal range, and

284
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 2: they're like, okay, they're gonna get it to a one

285
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 2: point game. Kick a field goal. Here we go. Jamis

286
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 2: throws a pick six and you're like the other way.

287
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 2: So now it's twenty one to seven, so I'm like, oh, now,

288
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 2: what are you gonna do? Well? Then the Browns get

289
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 2: it back with like a minute forty left and they

290
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 2: go down score touchdown and making another four point game

291
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 2: before halftime is unbelievable. Yeah, and then at the end,

292
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 2: James trying to get him. They're still down, they're down nine,

293
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 2: so they got to score twice. Jamis gets them down,

294
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 2: they're gonna score, and Jamis throws it in what He

295
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 2: throws it in the middle of a defensive back meeting

296
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 2: for the Broncos and it gets picked again. This is

297
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 2: the one. This is what that gives them, that gives

298
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 2: the Broncos a nine point lead, throws it when they're

299
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 2: trying to go down and get a field goal to winning.

300
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 2: And then here's the coup de gras. He throws this

301
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 2: right into the middle of the Broncos team. Didn't know

302
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 2: what he's looking I don't know what he's looking at.

303
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 2: And then this guy goes he gets run down by

304
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 2: Judy who horse collars him and tries to get it out,

305
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 2: but oh my gosh, unbelievable.

306
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 1: If that's not the story of that Winston, I don't

307
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 1: know what it is.

308
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 2: That game was all over the map and Jamis was

309
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 2: as you might imagine, he was priceless in his postgame

310
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 2: podium as a quarterback of the team. That was just

311
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 2: unbelievable night.

312
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 1: His quote, which is all over social media today is

313
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 1: I'm just hoping the Lord Lord to pick six delivers

314
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: me from pick sixes. But we've been telling you for

315
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 1: over a month, the Broncos have their quarterback. You know

316
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 1: what it says, the quarterback of the New England Patriots

317
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 1: in Drake May. They don't have anything else right now,

318
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 1: but they have their quarterback.

319
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 2: So it'll be interesting to see what their draft class

320
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 2: lines up like and what they're because you're gonna get

321
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 2: an idea of what their philosophy is going forward.

322
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 1: You're talking about the Broncos here, No, I'm.

323
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 2: Talking about the Patriots and Jatris and the Broncos.

324
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 1: Patriots are gonna draft high. They'll be in the top five.

325
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 2: Yeah. I I predict that the Broncos will be in

326
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 2: further You know, they're already in cap jail with the

327
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 2: with the Russ Wilson contract. Now that he's with Pittsburgh,

328
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 2: I predict they're gonna go in into cap jail big time,

329
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 2: the Broncos. If you really, if you remember what Sean

330
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 2: Payton did in New Orleans, that's where they're gonna go

331
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 2: in Denver. They're gonna they're gonna try and buy it.

332
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 3: Now.

333
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 2: He won one and got back to another one, didn't

334
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 2: he No, he got he won one. Was oh he

335
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 2: should have got.

336
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 1: Title game against the Rams by the with the bogus call.

337
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 2: That's right, Uh but miss call. Uh. So they're gonna

338
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 2: get there. They're gonna be tough. The Broncos are gonna

339
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 2: be tough. We'll see. Though. That game last night was

340
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 2: highly entertaining, even for like I say, somebody like me

341
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 2: who had no skin in the game, none of no bills.

342
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 2: A lot of big plays, huge plays everywhere, and huge

343
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 2: plays by the skin of their teeth.

344
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 1: Well yeah, even that bomb by Nick's I mean, talk

345
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 1: about threading the needle.

346
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 2: The safety comes over and misses the ball by an

347
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:23,879
Speaker 2: inch and it turns into a ninety yard touchdown. Unbelievable.

348
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,400
Speaker 2: And then the Browns get it back on the ensuing kickoff.

349
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 2: First play from scrimmage seventy yards for touchdown. Unbelievable ping

350
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 2: pong match, Oh great stuff.

351
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 1: The NFL has suspended Houston Texans linebacker as He's al

352
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:38,959
Speaker 1: Shire three games for his late hit on Trevor Lawrence

353
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:40,639
Speaker 1: that left him with a concussion as he had to

354
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 1: exit that game. NFL Vice President of Football Operations John

355
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:48,439
Speaker 1: Runyon issued the suspension and issued a letter to al Shire.

356
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 1: Runyan noted that he has had multiple offenses in the

357
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:56,440
Speaker 1: past for personal fouls and sportsmanship related rules violations. Here

358
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 1: is what he wrote to al Shire. During your game

359
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 1: against the jag Wars, with four to twenty remaining in

360
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 1: the second quarter, you were involved in a play that

361
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 1: the league considers unacceptable in a serious violation of the

362
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:10,719
Speaker 1: playing rules. Video shows you striking the head neck area

363
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 1: of Trevor Lawrence after he clearly goes down in a

364
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 1: feet first slide. You led with your forearm and helmet

365
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 1: and delivered a forceful blow to the head and neck

366
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 1: area of your opponent when you had time and space

367
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: to avoid such contact. After the illegal hit, you proceeded

368
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,679
Speaker 1: to engage in a brawl, which you escalated when you

369
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 1: pulled on an opponent's face mask, pulling him to the

370
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,399
Speaker 1: ground after the referee announced that you were disqualified for

371
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,479
Speaker 1: the hit and your unsportsmanlike acts. You removed your helmet,

372
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:36,919
Speaker 1: re engaged with your opponent while walking down and across

373
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:40,399
Speaker 1: the field, which started another physical confrontation near the end zone.

374
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 1: Your lack of sportsmanship and respect for the game of

375
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 1: football and all those who play, coach and enjoy watching

376
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,639
Speaker 1: it is troubling and does not reflect the core values

377
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,439
Speaker 1: of the NFL. I would call that a sternly worded email.

378
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:54,439
Speaker 2: I would, and I thought it, and I think it's absolutely.

379
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 1: On point, especially for a guy with a history like

380
00:18:58,080 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: Absolutely you can't be a jackwagon.

381
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:06,679
Speaker 2: Three game three game suspension is at least I'll say.

382
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 2: I thought he might. I thought he might be gone

383
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:10,160
Speaker 2: for the year.

384
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 1: He is appealing it. There are reports now that he

385
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:15,359
Speaker 1: is appealing it.

386
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:19,119
Speaker 2: So yeah, well he can appeal it all he wants.

387
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 2: If I try not to get you, try to stay

388
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:24,200
Speaker 2: Look at this.

389
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:27,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the second ball.

390
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, what's he doing incited? Yeah to me, that's a

391
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,920
Speaker 2: that right, there would be the rest of the year.

392
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:40,719
Speaker 2: If you can't, if you can't calm down after all

393
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 2: of that, you need to take a rest for a while.

394
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 2: You need to need to go on a vacation the

395
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,120
Speaker 2: jackson And I'll say this, there are probably some jack

396
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 2: There's gonna be a ton of Jacksonville guy's. A ton

397
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 2: of Houston guys are getting fines out of this. There

398
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 2: may be more suspensions, I don't know, but no question

399
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:03,639
Speaker 2: about it, that guy's first one out. I don't know

400
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:05,640
Speaker 2: that anybody else would rise to the level that he

401
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 2: has because given his track record and everything that happened subsequently,

402
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 2: you might get the guy, the guy there the offense

403
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 2: I didn't read his name, the offensive lineman who walked

404
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:17,880
Speaker 2: back down there to Brandon. Suref if Shurf may get

405
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 2: one too, he'll get fined for that for sure. Schurf's

406
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 2: out of line too. But you I mean, we've all

407
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 2: seen it. You can't picture it if it was Josh

408
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 2: Allen and it was a Bills game. I mean, you

409
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 2: have fans coming out of the stands getting involved with that,

410
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 2: you know, I mean, there's that it's off your rails,

411
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 2: and so you knew that his teammates were going to

412
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 2: come to his defense. But even Shurf going down afterwards,

413
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 2: he that's out of line too. So there's gonna be

414
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 2: a ton of money being changing hands over this one.

415
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:54,159
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, there'll be a lot of donations to a.

416
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 2: Lot of donatables. And I'll say this, and I wouldn't

417
00:20:57,560 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 2: be surprised if there were more suspensions. I think maybe

418
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 2: not three games. No, he's the guy that gets the

419
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 2: worst one, but there might be a one game two

420
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 2: games down the line.

421
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 1: They got to uphold this. I don't think they can

422
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,880
Speaker 1: reduce it when he appeals, because all indications are he's

423
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 1: appealing it.

424
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:16,479
Speaker 2: I gotta say, if I'm John Runyon and he appeals this,

425
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 2: I like tack on two more.

426
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 1: Oh you don't want three house five?

427
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 2: Hou's five?

428
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 1: Sound we'll see you in the postseason.

429
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,639
Speaker 2: You can't do that because you know then you can't

430
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 2: disallow guys from saying, hey, wait a minute a little bit.

431
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,879
Speaker 1: But you kind of feel where it's within their jurisdiction

432
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 1: to appeal, and that's what he's gonna do. We'll see

433
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 1: how it plays out. The Los Angeles Rams, Buffalo's opponent

434
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:44,719
Speaker 1: this week, have claimed cornerback Emmanuel Forbes off waivers from

435
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:48,199
Speaker 1: the Washington Commanders. Forbes the number sixteen pick in the

436
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three draft. Cut by the Commanders last Weekend

437
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:54,440
Speaker 1: started seven games and two seasons, but only won this year.

438
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 1: He was benched in both seasons and miss time due

439
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,679
Speaker 1: to injury. So he's kind of had a rough go

440
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:03,400
Speaker 1: of it as a first round draft choice, and Washington

441
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 1: got tired of waiting. I mean they didn't wait very long.

442
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 1: I mean he got drafted last year twenty twenty three.

443
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 1: He went from being a starter to getting benched to

444
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:15,640
Speaker 1: being off the roster a year and a half later.

445
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:19,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's yeah, he's which.

446
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 1: Says how desperate are the Rams right now to get

447
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 1: coverage help on the outside?

448
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,959
Speaker 2: Well too, Yeah, and and how big a donkey does

449
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:28,640
Speaker 2: the guy have to be to get off that team

450
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 2: in Washington particularly?

451
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:33,879
Speaker 1: I mean, now, granted it's a new coaching staff, you

452
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 1: know that inherited him, so they're not beholden to him.

453
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 1: And we often see high draft choices get jettison from

454
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 1: rosters when a new staff comes in. All this guy

455
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 1: is not our cup of tea, he doesn't buy into

456
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 1: our philosophy, blah blah blah, and then guys move on.

457
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:50,880
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's part of the equation too.

458
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 1: I would imagine to some degree it might.

459
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,119
Speaker 2: Be, well, you know, you think about the Ramsney corner

460
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 2: help and Washington got rid of the guy. They're in

461
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:01,440
Speaker 2: the playoffs right now. Yeah, so there they're the seventh seed,

462
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 2: no question. But they know that's and they're thinking addition

463
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:11,120
Speaker 2: by subtraction. Uh, there's no question they had an unhappy

464
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 2: camper in their in their locker room.

465
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, and.

466
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:18,399
Speaker 2: Sometimes this is not of stuff is a positive for that, right.

467
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:20,400
Speaker 2: I'm not saying I don't I don't know the guy,

468
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 2: but man, oh man, that's got all the ear. That situation,

469
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 2: the whole trajectory of where he's been and where he's

470
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:30,119
Speaker 2: at right now speaks to an unhappy dude and somebody

471
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 2: who's trying to make other guys unhappy as well.

472
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 1: The forty nine ers injuries coming out of their loss

473
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 1: to Buffalo on Sunday night unfortunately did not end with

474
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:40,359
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey's PCL knee injury. They also lost fellow running

475
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 1: back Jordan Mason to a high ankle spring, so the

476
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,639
Speaker 1: rushing load is going to fall to Isaac Grendo for

477
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 1: the time being. They also lost defensive tackle Kevin Gibbons

478
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 1: for the season to a torn pectoral muscle. You want

479
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,439
Speaker 1: to talk about a cavalcade of injuries, man, the forty

480
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 1: nine ers, Wow, I mean, just one after another, and

481
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 1: it's every week. It's just dropping.

482
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 2: That's weird.

483
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 1: Sometimes you have one of those years though, you know,

484
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 1: just everybody's.

485
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,120
Speaker 2: Ever Yeah, and I heard this. I heard another analyst

486
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:12,919
Speaker 2: talking about this on the radios. I was coming in.

487
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:13,680
Speaker 1: He's right.

488
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 2: In years past, the Niners have been overcome, over able

489
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 2: to overcome these kind of injuries. You know, Nick Bosa's

490
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,959
Speaker 2: been injured all a lot. And you saw what they

491
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 2: did to the quarterback. Party was out, then the next

492
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:29,360
Speaker 2: guy was out, then the next guy was out. They

493
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,119
Speaker 2: were down to their fourth quarterback by the time they

494
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:36,879
Speaker 2: got to the NFC Championship game. And that in and

495
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:40,399
Speaker 2: of itself will tell you they were overcoming a lot.

496
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:44,120
Speaker 2: But now it's like they now they can't. It's too much,

497
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,199
Speaker 2: you know, So I and everybody's got injuries. I mean,

498
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 2: look at you know, the Bills are finally getting healthier.

499
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 2: They they kind of muddled through it. But some teams,

500
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 2: you get what and it's you. It's one of the

501
00:24:54,760 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 2: great mysteries of how some teams given more injuries do

502
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:04,400
Speaker 2: better than other teams. With less injuries, and the injuries

503
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,679
Speaker 2: do seem to hamstring their ability to play well as

504
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 2: a team. It's a real mystery as to why some

505
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 2: teams can overcome it and other teams can't. You can say, well,

506
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 2: with the depth of the roster, I don't know that

507
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 2: it's the same. Probably a lot of the same guys

508
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 2: they had last year. Backing these guys up, same evaluators

509
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:24,920
Speaker 2: making the decisions. You feel like you get better depth,

510
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 2: not worse depth, if you keep guys or get guys

511
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 2: or replaced guys. It's a mystery.

512
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 1: The Detroit Lions are dealing with a lot of injuries

513
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 1: on defense, so they signed former All Pro safety Jamal Adams,

514
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 1: who gets another shot at reviving his career. Adams was

515
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 1: cut in last year's offseason by the Seahawks and a

516
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 1: salary cap move. Then got signed last offseason by the Titans,

517
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:55,159
Speaker 1: but got clipped by them come October after signing with

518
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 1: them as a free agent in the offseason, so really

519
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:00,399
Speaker 1: is bounced around. He gets traded to the Seahawk who

520
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,440
Speaker 1: gave up a boatload to get him. Didn't work out,

521
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,119
Speaker 1: He gets cut loose there, signs with the Titans, and

522
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,920
Speaker 1: then gets cut loose there in October and he's been

523
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:12,199
Speaker 1: out there drifting ever since. Lions are gonna kick the

524
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 1: tires on him and see if he can help them

525
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 1: because they've had a bunch of injuries on the defensive

526
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 1: side of the ball Offleet, So we'll see what happens there.

527
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 1: And then finally, Super Bowl winning Green Bay Packers coach

528
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:26,239
Speaker 1: Mike Holmgren chosen as the coaching finalist for the Pro

529

531
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:36,080

532
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 1: the sixties for the Eagles and Rams, and then Jim Tyer,

533
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,440

Speaker 1: you got for us? Frank, you're on One Bill's Live.

571
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 5: Good afternoon, fellows, Good afternoon. It's very very concerning to me.

572
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 5: Their their run defense very of course it hasn't gotten better.

573
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 5: I know that, Uh, they're always looking for the big

574
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 5: play and you know, playing back, but we have to

575
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 5: do something about the run defense. And I'll be quite honestly,

576
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 5: I'm glad we got Milano back. It's a shame that

577
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 5: they put him out there in that game. As as

578
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 5: you could see, two people got injured from San France.

579
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 5: It's the worst situation. I thought that was very poor

580
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 5: decision on the Bills to put a guy out there.

581
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 5: You can't you could tell nothing of his body of

582
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 5: work from that game. With the weather conditions the way

583
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 5: they were, and I thought it was pretty pretty bad

584
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 5: to put a guy the first time he hasn't played

585
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 5: in the year out on the field. But hopefully he

586
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 5: can tighten up the run defense. But it's very poorsee very.

587
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 1: Poorsee okay, okay, fair assessment. Look, they've had they've had

588
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 1: games where they've had trouble stopping the run. But I

589
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 1: think there have been some game plans also where they

590
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 1: have invited teams to run the ball, feeling that if

591
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 1: they make the opponent go the long way and take

592
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 1: longer to score, they will ultimately have fewer possessions at

593
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 1: the end of the game to either climb back into

594
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 1: the game and win or keep up with the Bills

595
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 1: offense secondarily, and I think that was the players told

596
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 1: us that was clearly the game plan in the Dolphins

597
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 1: game here about a month ago. They invited the Dolphins

598
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 1: to run the football and commit to coverage so they

599
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 1: didn't get beat over the top with any quick big

600
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 1: play scores, which the Dolphins are known for. And look,

601
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 1: the game got tight, but it worked. They win that

602
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 1: game thirty to twenty seven, granted on a last second

603
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 1: field goal, but still in all I think there have

604
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 1: been some instances where the defensive game plan was to

605
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:45,479
Speaker 1: invite teams to run the ball rather than try to

606
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 1: throw and score quicker.

607
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'll say this too. Their play and I

608
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 2: know it's frustrating for fans to hear, but their philosophy

609
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 2: and Chris collins were setting. I know a lot of

610
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 2: people don't like Chris Collinsworth, but the guy knows a

611
00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 2: lot about football, and he's right. They do have this

612
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 2: philosophy at their core. They're gonna play this complimentary football.

613
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 2: So the Bills know that their defense is gonna get

614
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 2: some help from the offense, from Josh Allen. From the

615
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 2: way they're running the football and playing offense, they're scoring

616
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 2: thirty points a game. They're forcing teams into making offensive

617
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 2: decisions philosophically that the Bills want them to, and that

618
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 2: does include inviting them to run the football. The Bills are.

619
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 2: You look at the Bills, they are They stink at

620
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 2: stopping yards per play rushing. So when teams run the

621
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 2: ball per play, the Bills are thirtieth in the league. So, yeah,

622
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 2: it looks bad. I think it's becoming painfully obvious. And

623
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 2: whether you like it, round Bills don't care.

624
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 1: They don't care. You go ahead.

625
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 2: You just hand it off because when we get down close.

626
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 2: You look at their you look at their red zone efficiency,

627
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 2: they're eighth, they're top ten in red zone. So you

628
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 2: can kick all the field goals you want. You just

629
00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:00,200
Speaker 2: go ahead and do it because you ain't keeping up with.

630
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 1: Us and the Niners, I think, and one for three

631
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 1: in the round.

632
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 2: And here's what happens. The Bills are scoring points and

633
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 2: if you're gonna go down there trade feudgals with them,

634
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 2: you hand it off. As much as your little heart desires.

635
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 2: We do not care. And I know that's hard to

636
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 2: hear and it's hard to watch sometimes, but that's where

637
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 2: they're at. You're just not gonna get You look at

638
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 2: that game the other night in San Francis against San Francisco,

639
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 2: you look up at the board, it's like they don't

640
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 2: They're not gonna get the ball enough to score to

641
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 2: beat them. They're just not gonna get enough. They can't

642
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 2: get our team off the field.

643
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 1: Offensively, especially of late, because so last six games, Buffalo's

644
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:39,720
Speaker 1: offense has converted on third down at fifty percent better

645
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 1: each of the last six games. It was a problem

646
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 1: early in the season offense is staying on the field

647
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 1: now and finishing drives, and so their efficiency has gone

648
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 1: up precipitously on the offensive side of the ball. So

649
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 1: the defense says, well, look.

650
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 2: Go the long way.

651
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 1: Let's see if you can score on a thirteen play drive.

652
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 1: And if you can, all right, more power to you.

653
00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 1: But guess what, we got a top five red zone defense.

654
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 1: It's usually not gonna happen.

655
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 2: You're going to struggle, and that's their philosophy.

656
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 1: And Patriots did that for a long time on Defenseichi.

657
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 2: And I don't know if you've been paying too close attention,

658
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 2: but the Bills are ten and two, clinched the division,

659
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 2: and their point differential is.

660
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 1: Number two in the league, number one in the AFC.

661
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 2: Number one in the conference. They got it going on.

662
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 2: They're working and this run thing, and I get it.

663
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 2: You can say, well, it's gonna come back to Hanam.

664
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 2: It might, it might, But right now I think they're

665
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 2: doing it exactly the way they want to do it.

666
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 2: And they and they don't care about the stats. They

667
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:39,840
Speaker 2: dare you.

668
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 1: Care about our points four and points again.

669
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 2: Right points four points against? They dare you to beat

670
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 2: them running the football for four quarters when all of

671
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 2: a sudden in the midway through the third you're down

672
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:56,600
Speaker 2: three scores that they dare you. And that's you know,

673
00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 2: some teams they'll do it early in the game when

674
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 2: it's but they get in that second half. Teams they

675
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 2: just can't do it. They do the math in their

676
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 2: head and it's like, hey, we ain't got a chance.

677
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 1: You know, we got two possessions left and we're down

678
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 1: twenty one. That's a problem.

679
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:08,920
Speaker 2: It's a problem.

680
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:11,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's go to Butcher on the east side next.

681
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 1: What's up Butcher.

682
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 3: First of all, gentlemen, I want to say thank you

683
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 3: so much for taking my call. I love you, my

684
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:20,799
Speaker 3: brothers for life. I love MSG, I love WGR and

685
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 3: the fans out there around the world. I definitely love you.

686
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 3: I'm gonna get right to it. But it's a couple

687
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:25,920
Speaker 3: of things I want to say. I'm gonna se it

688
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:27,560
Speaker 3: real fast because I know you got a lot of

689
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:32,480
Speaker 3: calls behind me. Is that you know, winning five division

690
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:38,320
Speaker 3: titles is fine, and I know the pandemonia. I wouldn't

691
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 3: the fans for these young players on the team. Look

692
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:46,959
Speaker 3: at how the fans respawn when you win five divisional titles.

693
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:51,239
Speaker 3: I need Chris, I need Steve, I need Thurman, I

694
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:55,279
Speaker 3: need all the old school Vets to go in and

695
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 3: talk to these guys for the next five games, because

696
00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 3: you know what, it's fine when you win four AFC championships.

697
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:08,880
Speaker 3: The pandemonia of winning that and winning five divisional titles

698
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 3: is totally different. And I want you guys to stay

699
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:16,360
Speaker 3: focused on those five games plus to two or three

700
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:21,719
Speaker 3: playoff games that's total eight to get to the ultimate

701
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:25,359
Speaker 3: goal of bringing a piece of armor, a trophy or

702
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:28,839
Speaker 3: something to represent this city, not just for what your

703
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:32,400
Speaker 3: team has done since Sean McDermott been here, but what

704
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 3: Bill Polly in the four of the Super Bowl playoffs

705
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 3: they lost in the Super Bowls. Y'all gonna pull it

706
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:43,400
Speaker 3: all together as one family. That's the point that I

707
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 3: want to be hammered out on these next five to

708
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 3: next eight games to say it's fine to rugbyr shoulders,

709
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:54,759
Speaker 3: get the hats and the T shirts. Steve Chris, you

710
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 3: already know, Brownie, Steve, you guys already had all of that.

711
00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 3: I had the champagne to the AFC Championship, but getting

712
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 3: to those Super Bowls and actually putting in those sixty

713
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:08,439
Speaker 3: minutes to win that game, to bring that armor back.

714
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:11,560
Speaker 3: This is the ultimate goal. And I'm not seeing Sean

715
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:15,479
Speaker 3: and the coaching staff that are pumping that. But see

716
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:17,320
Speaker 3: when I see, and then I'm gonna hang up and

717
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 3: I thanks so much for taking my card. I love you, guys.

718
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:22,400
Speaker 3: Is when I see something that comes out in the media,

719
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:25,239
Speaker 3: because anytime you have something good happened, something bad is

720
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:27,120
Speaker 3: going to happen. When I see something coming out of

721
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 3: the meal of Dalvin Cook speaking about pay demand, that

722
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:34,439
Speaker 3: same thing as Stefan Diggs brother did last a few

723
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:37,279
Speaker 3: years ago about get him out of there. We don't

724
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 3: need that to distract us from what we're doing at

725
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 3: ten and two. So therefore, I'm gonna say to James

726
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:45,480
Speaker 3: personally right now on this on his radio station, speak

727
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 3: to your brother and say keep your mouth shut. We're

728
00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 3: doing okay. But I'm gonna say to see Chris, but Steve,

729
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 3: we're really talking to you. Get the guys together, go

730
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 3: to a meeting and say, you know what, guys, we're

731
00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:58,520
Speaker 3: so proud of you, but we want to do a

732
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 3: short of highlights of when we won the AFC Championsip

733
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 3: and what the fans did then compared to what they

734
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:05,640
Speaker 3: did on the five Things. Anyway, I love you guys,

735
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 3: take care, thanks so much for taking my call, and

736
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 3: I love both of you, Thank you so much.

737
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:10,920
Speaker 2: Yeah.

738
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 1: I think they know that right.

739
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 2: Absolutely, He's totally right too. And don't think that the

740
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 2: narrative out here where we're at, even on our radio station.

741
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 2: I know we're in the building and all that, and

742
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:24,239
Speaker 2: we're all that. Don't think the narrative any out here

743
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 2: where we're at and where you're at and where the

744
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 2: social media is, and don't think that's where the narrative is.

745
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:35,280
Speaker 2: Inside the building. They are laser focused on the RAMS,

746
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:38,680
Speaker 2: and that's that's where they're going to stay. Uh, the

747
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:42,359
Speaker 2: philosophy has to be the next game. And this next

748
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:46,040
Speaker 2: thing is not the AFC East, It's not any of that.

749
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 2: It's this game. It's this game, and that's where that's

750
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:51,319
Speaker 2: where it was in week one, that's where it's going

751
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:54,000
Speaker 2: to be in week eighteen. It's this game and this

752
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:58,920
Speaker 2: week that's the RAMS. Nobody raises up. I mean they

753
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:00,799
Speaker 2: acknowledge it yet you you got to do it because

754
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:03,919
Speaker 2: you live in the world. But they're they're talking about

755
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 2: the RAMS today. They're not talking about the division title.

756
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 2: They won four five straight times and four years ago

757
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:14,040
Speaker 2: and all that stuff, because think about this, I saw

758
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:18,600
Speaker 2: this only ten guys on the roster right now. Ten

759
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:23,080
Speaker 2: we're at all five of those AFC champs East Championships.

760
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 2: Ten And you can go down and look at yourself

761
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:29,719
Speaker 2: and who's been here five years or longer. They got

762
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:32,719
Speaker 2: things they're thinking about this game this week. And this

763
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:34,920
Speaker 2: is not about the super Bowl. This is not about

764
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 2: the AFC E's Championship. This ain't about getting to the

765
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:39,319
Speaker 2: AFC Championship. This isn't about getting to the Chiefs and

766
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:42,239
Speaker 2: beating them, whether whether it's here or they're no. This

767
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:44,600
Speaker 2: is about the It's about the Rams this week and

768
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 2: that's you can bet that's where they're at. We've seen

769
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:48,440
Speaker 2: it and that's the way it works.

770
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:50,600
Speaker 1: Having that approach is why they're ten and two right now.

771
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:51,040
Speaker 3: That's right.

772
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:53,840
Speaker 1: Let's go back to the phones and we go to

773
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,080
Speaker 1: Steve in Hamilton. What do you got for Steve?

774
00:38:57,480 --> 00:38:59,160
Speaker 5: Get up, John, How are you good?

775
00:38:59,239 --> 00:38:59,439
Speaker 2: Good?

776
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:00,920
Speaker 6: Excellent?

777
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:01,320
Speaker 3: Excellent?

778
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 2: Listen.

779
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:05,279
Speaker 6: I'm just going to keep it quite simple. We've been

780
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 6: here before over the past five years, and to me,

781
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:11,400
Speaker 6: this is the white outfit in the room and it

782
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 6: kind of scares me. What does our coach and staff

783
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:18,319
Speaker 6: need to do differently this year than the years to

784
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 6: beat the good teams in the playoffs? That's all I got.

785
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:25,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, you're right, it's and I've said it, you know,

786
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:28,279
Speaker 2: I'll say it again. I mean if I don't know

787
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 2: if you're a regular listener to the show, but you

788
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:33,960
Speaker 2: don't need to do anything different. You just need to

789
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 2: do what you do better. I don't nobody like that's

790
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:38,360
Speaker 2: not the sexy pick, like you got to do this

791
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:40,719
Speaker 2: because you didn't do that last year and now this year. Well,

792
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:42,920
Speaker 2: this game, this year that they're going to play is

793
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:44,800
Speaker 2: going to be different than the games that they've played before.

794
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:47,320
Speaker 2: Even if they meet the exact same Kansas City Chiefs

795
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:49,640
Speaker 2: organization that they've met the last three or four years

796
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 2: that have done them in, it's going to be a

797
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:55,640
Speaker 2: new and unique game. You got to play well on

798
00:39:55,760 --> 00:40:00,239
Speaker 2: that day. It's not about last year, five years ago.

799
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:02,759
Speaker 2: This year. It's not about the regular season game that

800
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 2: you beat them in this year in your own house.

801
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 2: It's not gonna be. It's about that day playing your best.

802
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 2: That's it. It's there ain't there's no magic elixir. There's

803
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:16,920
Speaker 2: no super fix, no nothing. When you get to that day,

804
00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 2: you gotta play good. That's the true, that's the that's

805
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 2: the unvarnished truth.

806
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:27,279
Speaker 1: Gotta play well on that day.

807
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:29,600
Speaker 2: You gotta play well on that last on that do

808
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:32,759
Speaker 2: or die game. And the Bills have won playoff games

809
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:36,880
Speaker 2: every year, so they you know, they do that and

810
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 2: they usually play well against Kansas City even if they

811
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:41,160
Speaker 2: get beat by those jokers. Last year was a heck

812
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:42,040
Speaker 2: of a game, you know that.

813
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:46,840
Speaker 1: You just gotta play a little Christian Benford, Terrell Bernardo, Yeah,

814
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:48,440
Speaker 1: and a one legged Rasul Douglas.

815
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:50,839
Speaker 2: You liked it. You would love to have your team

816
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:54,719
Speaker 2: healthy and feeling good going into that game, but that's

817
00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:57,880
Speaker 2: every year. You Sometimes you don't get to make those choices.

818
00:40:58,080 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 2: You just play as good as you can play on

819
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:03,040
Speaker 2: that day with whoever can line up for you. That's

820
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 2: not the sexy, analytical x's and those kind of answer

821
00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:09,280
Speaker 2: you want, But it's that simple.

822
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:14,240
Speaker 1: And as your former head coach used to say, it's simple,

823
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:15,320
Speaker 1: but it's not easy.

824
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:16,280

855
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:41,319
Speaker 8: first trip to Buffalo this weekend and saw the game.

856
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:43,759
Speaker 8: That's kind of want to talk about how awesome it was?

857
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:48,840
Speaker 8: Go ahead, So yeah, So I went with my older brother.

858
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:51,759
Speaker 8: Basically grew up a Bills fan because I saw in

859
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:54,080
Speaker 8: love with the bright red helmets and then fell in

860
00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:56,520
Speaker 8: love with Doug Flutie, which crazy enough ended up being

861
00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:58,200
Speaker 8: the legend of the game, which was not a while

862
00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:00,880
Speaker 8: and then uh, my older brother the Niners saying it

863
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:02,759
Speaker 8: was his birthday. So we made the trip out there

864
00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:05,520
Speaker 8: and it was just the coolest trip I've had my

865
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:09,400
Speaker 8: entire life, and I honestly want to move there. Was awesome.

866
00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:14,960
Speaker 1: So are you a native Californian Steel Yeah?

867
00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:19,560
Speaker 8: Even weirdly enough, I actually graduated high school with tarn Okay.

868
00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 2: Oh nice.

869
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 1: Yeah. And so to come here for your first game

870
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:25,719
Speaker 1: and you get the snow experience, that must have been

871
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:26,279
Speaker 1: pretty cool.

872
00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:29,960
Speaker 8: Oh, it was the best we've been. On Saturday, we

873
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:33,080
Speaker 8: drove into the snow to go to Barbill and so

874
00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:35,120
Speaker 8: we got a little accustomed to it. And then yeah,

875
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:36,759
Speaker 8: at the game, it was like it really was like

876
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:38,040
Speaker 8: a movie it was awesome.

877
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:41,120
Speaker 2: That's great. I'm glad you had a nice What did

878
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:42,839

879
00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:43,520
Speaker 2: did you get there?

880
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:44,880
Speaker 1: So?

881
00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:47,640
Speaker 8: I guess we didn't get there early enough because I

882
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:50,080
Speaker 8: saw on Twitter people shown up at like ten am.

883
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:54,080
Speaker 8: We didn't get there till probably like four, but we

884
00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:58,080
Speaker 8: just hung out and did some tailgating and then went in.

885
00:43:59,160 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 2: Awesome.

886
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:03,120
Speaker 1: Absolutely, glad you had a great stuff, man. And uh, well,

887
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:05,359
Speaker 1: maybe we see you out there this week since we'll

888
00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:07,040
Speaker 1: be in your neck of the woods. I don't know

889
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:09,080
Speaker 1: if you live in La but here in California. It's

890
00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:11,359
Speaker 1: a big state. We get it. But I don't know.

891
00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:13,359
Speaker 1: Maybe he makes the trip, goes back to back.

892
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:17,800
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe he certainly he can always claim that he

893
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:19,680
Speaker 2: brought him good luck for the Get forty nine Ers

894
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:20,840
Speaker 2: game as well as the.

895
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:24,120
Speaker 1: First time game, like first game ever in person.

896
00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 2: Yeah that was pretty good. That's a keeper for sure.

897
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:28,080
Speaker 2: I met a couple of people who was their first

898
00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:32,160
Speaker 2: game on I guess San Francisco, and yeah, you're right,

899
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:33,920
Speaker 2: it's it's perfect.

900
00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:36,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, you picked a good one if you had that.

901
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:39,080
Speaker 1: Let's go to Mark in Jersey City next. What's up Mark?

902
00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:42,480
Speaker 10: You can get afternoon, gentlemen, thanks for taking my call

903
00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:45,759
Speaker 10: after that. You know, whether i'd like you know, two

904
00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:50,320
Speaker 10: games indoors, controlled environment, key on coming back, maybe Kincaida,

905
00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:52,200
Speaker 10: I'd like this. I see them, you know, open up

906
00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:54,760
Speaker 10: the passing game a little bit. Josh mentioned playing loose

907
00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:57,919
Speaker 10: and just kind of, you know, having fun. That would

908
00:44:57,960 --> 00:44:59,720
Speaker 10: be a good way to do it, just to iron

909
00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:02,520
Speaker 10: some things out because McDermott made a comment about integrating

910
00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:06,400
Speaker 10: guys back into things that have been working, and I

911
00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:08,040
Speaker 10: want to see how they do that because Knox has

912
00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:10,920
Speaker 10: kind of rediscovered himself going down the field, so I

913
00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:12,719
Speaker 10: want to see how kin Kid and a greats back in.

914
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:16,080
Speaker 10: But the guys stole my thunder with the run, but

915
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:19,279
Speaker 10: on defense. But you guys alluded to just kind of

916
00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:22,640
Speaker 10: letting them have it because everybody plays between the thirty

917
00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:25,719
Speaker 10: and twenty now and then everybody's ideas, let's tighten up

918
00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:29,040
Speaker 10: once we're in the high red or red zone and

919
00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:32,160
Speaker 10: let them play for field goals. You can't cover every

920
00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:35,160
Speaker 10: blade of glass the way the rules are, and you know, offense,

921
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:38,080
Speaker 10: the things offenses do and the things defenses can't do anymore.

922
00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:40,839
Speaker 10: So that's it, guys, Thanks for taking my call.

923
00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:43,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, sure thing, you bet. I am curious to see

924
00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:47,040
Speaker 1: what they're going to be able to do when Kincaid

925
00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:49,280
Speaker 1: does come back, because I don't think he's had nearly

926
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:53,000
Speaker 1: the impact that all of us probably anticipated for him.

927
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:55,520
Speaker 1: I mean, after a seventy three catch season last year,

928
00:45:55,960 --> 00:45:59,240
Speaker 1: he is trending way behind that this year. And maybe

929
00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:03,200
Speaker 1: it is part of the more democratic approach to the

930
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:07,440
Speaker 1: passing game. I think that's a factor most definitely, and

931
00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:11,520
Speaker 1: then taking it a step further, I think being out

932
00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:14,839
Speaker 1: of the lineup obviously is compromises production too. But when

933
00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:18,960
Speaker 1: he comes back, you know, with the emergence of knocks

934
00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:22,839
Speaker 1: in the passing game, do they look at that and say, well,

935
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:24,759
Speaker 1: if he and Kincaid are on the field, there's no

936
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:26,960
Speaker 1: reason to think we can't do some of the same

937
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:30,600
Speaker 1: things with Kincaid, who I think everybody would would admit

938
00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:32,279
Speaker 1: runs even better than Knox does.

939
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:35,120
Speaker 2: Right, It's gonna be interesting and I think it's gonna

940
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:36,560
Speaker 2: be a little bit of a challenge to do that.

941
00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:40,000
Speaker 2: I Mean, the job one is winning the game that week.

942
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:42,400
Speaker 2: That like this week against the Rams, next week against Detroit,

943
00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:45,240
Speaker 2: and the week after and week after week after. That's

944
00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:50,520
Speaker 2: job one. And certainly you want to give everybody a

945
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:53,279
Speaker 2: chance to be integrated. So if somebody gets hurt, you

946
00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:55,040
Speaker 2: got a plan. If somebody else gets hurt, you got

947
00:46:55,080 --> 00:46:56,960
Speaker 2: a different plan. If two guys get hurt, you got

948
00:46:56,960 --> 00:46:59,760
Speaker 2: to plan as well for that. You got to play

949
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:01,200
Speaker 2: like that, and you got to prepare like that. But

950
00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:07,120
Speaker 2: you're right, we haven't seen everybody healthy, like outside of

951
00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:10,200
Speaker 2: what one game. When the first week of MARII, Cooper

952
00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:14,479
Speaker 2: was in the building, Coleman was available, Kincaid was there,

953
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:18,759
Speaker 2: Knox with everybody was healthy. Now that's it. Now we

954
00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:21,320
Speaker 2: haven't had any of the full roster of guys for

955
00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:22,120
Speaker 2: the passing games.

956
00:47:22,120 --> 00:47:22,640
Speaker 1: You different.

957
00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:25,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, you've got Jalen Virgil up and down off the roster.

958
00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:27,320
Speaker 2: He's he's trying to help out doing some stuff. You

959
00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:31,040
Speaker 2: got uh Zach Davidson playing some snaps and stuff. And

960
00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:34,160
Speaker 2: you know, you just don't know who you're gonna have.

961
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:36,520
Speaker 2: You don't know what you've got, and you certainly haven't

962
00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:38,799
Speaker 2: seen it in game reps. So yeah, that's a little

963
00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:41,480
Speaker 2: bit of a challenge, and I think it's you think

964
00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:42,920
Speaker 2: about it all in the right way. It'd be a

965
00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:48,279
Speaker 2: lot of fun. Let's find out, you know, Listen, they

966
00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:51,600
Speaker 2: came into this season with a ton of question marks.

967
00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:56,120
Speaker 2: They have answered all of them in the affirmative. Everybody

968
00:47:56,160 --> 00:48:00,520
Speaker 2: got it right to this point. If that continues to

969
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:03,600
Speaker 2: be the case, this team's got a gear nobody can match.

970
00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:05,479
Speaker 2: But we don't know yet.

971
00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:08,319
Speaker 1: I don't know what that gear looks like. Right, let's

972
00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:10,720
Speaker 1: go to Jerry in Canisius Lake. What's up, Jerry?

973
00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:15,960
Speaker 9: Hi, guys, thanks for taking my car off. Yeah, I'm

974
00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:22,080
Speaker 9: calling about the defensive run our run defense is what

975
00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:25,040
Speaker 9: I'm talking about. And then the issue is that, yes,

976
00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:28,680
Speaker 9: I've heard the argument, you know that we're allowing teams

977
00:48:28,719 --> 00:48:31,480
Speaker 9: to slowly go down the field, you know, with runs

978
00:48:31,520 --> 00:48:34,919
Speaker 9: and Edith clock. But do you remember that Ravens game.

979
00:48:35,160 --> 00:48:37,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember the Raves absolutely.

980
00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:42,040
Speaker 11: Ten seconds in this car, right, and we keep seeing

981
00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:45,760
Speaker 11: the big gashes and mcmanness, I mean, McCaffery almost broken

982
00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:49,040
Speaker 11: a couple the day, and it just concerns me.

983
00:48:49,080 --> 00:48:49,520
Speaker 9: That's off.

984
00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:52,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I respect it, And you're right, the Baltimore the

985
00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:55,120
Speaker 2: Baltimore games is out there by itself and there's no

986
00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:56,880
Speaker 2: question about it. And that was a game where it

987
00:48:56,920 --> 00:49:00,279
Speaker 2: was really frustrating to watch. And that's what happened. When

988
00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:04,640
Speaker 2: your offense can't get on the board, that's pretty frustrating.

989
00:49:04,680 --> 00:49:07,120
Speaker 2: That's something too. You think back about it at the end,

990
00:49:07,120 --> 00:49:09,600
Speaker 2: a trick play that went wrong and the whole momentum change,

991
00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:11,279
Speaker 2: the Bills were kind of climbing back into it, and

992
00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:14,399
Speaker 2: then it just went away. And you know, that game

993
00:49:14,440 --> 00:49:17,680
Speaker 2: got away and never came back. And yeah, you look

994
00:49:17,719 --> 00:49:19,839
Speaker 2: back at it and say, well, that's the reason right there,

995
00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:27,120
Speaker 2: and you got a point, but nobody else can do that.

996
00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:31,200
Speaker 1: Well, you also have to remember this, no Man Milano,

997
00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:34,239
Speaker 1: no Torel Bernard, no Taron Johnson in that game. The

998
00:49:34,360 --> 00:49:37,000
Speaker 1: entire second level of their defense was out of the

999
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:40,000
Speaker 1: lineup that week. I have to believe it's better with

1000
00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:44,240
Speaker 1: those three players on the field who are all back now. Second,

1001
00:49:45,200 --> 00:49:47,520
Speaker 1: when the Bills play the Ravens again, if it comes

1002
00:49:47,520 --> 00:49:51,880
Speaker 1: to pass in the postseason, you can bet your house

1003
00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:55,239
Speaker 1: on the fact that Sean McDermot and Bobby Babbage are

1004
00:49:55,280 --> 00:49:59,200
Speaker 1: going to have an unconventional game plan for that run game.

1005
00:49:59,640 --> 00:50:02,160
Speaker 1: And Steve has said this many times over on the

1006
00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:04,680
Speaker 1: heels of that game, they are if they have to

1007
00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:07,640
Speaker 1: play the Ravens again, they are going to load up

1008
00:50:07,640 --> 00:50:11,000
Speaker 1: the box and dare them to throw the ball outside

1009
00:50:11,040 --> 00:50:15,080
Speaker 1: the numbers, because that is where Lamar Jackson has a weakness.

1010
00:50:15,280 --> 00:50:19,160
Speaker 1: He cannot consistently hit targets outside the numbers. He'll do

1011
00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:21,360
Speaker 1: it every once in a while, but over the course

1012
00:50:21,360 --> 00:50:23,839
Speaker 1: of a sixty minute football game, he cannot beat you

1013
00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:24,480
Speaker 1: playing that way.

1014
00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:27,520
Speaker 2: He misses a ton of throws out there. Even a

1015
00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:31,080
Speaker 2: casual observer will notice that. So yeah, and I'll say

1016
00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:34,719
Speaker 2: this too. I'm the run defense is what it is.

1017
00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:37,360
Speaker 2: But think about what happened this last game and games

1018
00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:40,600
Speaker 2: subsequent to that in the past through the season. The

1019
00:50:40,640 --> 00:50:43,480
Speaker 2: second half, ain't nobody scoring anything.

1020
00:50:43,600 --> 00:50:47,280
Speaker 1: Think about Jonathan Taylor. Okay, he goes for one hundred

1021
00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:49,600
Speaker 1: and seven yards in the first half against the Bills

1022
00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:54,320
Speaker 1: back in Week eight or nine. Second half four carries

1023
00:50:54,719 --> 00:50:59,680
Speaker 1: seven yards seven yards rushing in the second half. So look,

1024
00:51:01,239 --> 00:51:03,360
Speaker 1: there are things to be concerned about. I get it,

1025
00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:07,319
Speaker 1: And that's one you can point to. I think if

1026
00:51:07,320 --> 00:51:11,080
Speaker 1: they play a team like the Ravens in the postseason,

1027
00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:14,560
Speaker 1: they will change and alter their game plan to a

1028
00:51:14,600 --> 00:51:18,080
Speaker 1: degree to force them to not do that. They will

1029
00:51:18,120 --> 00:51:21,040
Speaker 1: give them looks to chase them out of running the football,

1030
00:51:21,080 --> 00:51:23,920
Speaker 1: and if they do they'll have the manpower to stop it.

1031
00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:30,000
Speaker 1: But that Ravens game, to me, is an outlier. Yes,

1032
00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:31,840
Speaker 1: they're very good at running the football, not going to

1033
00:51:32,320 --> 00:51:34,520
Speaker 1: argue that for a second, but I think the Bills

1034
00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:37,120
Speaker 1: are better at stopping the run when they have Terrel

1035
00:51:37,160 --> 00:51:39,240
Speaker 1: Bernor and Matt Mulano and Taron Johnson at the second

1036
00:51:39,239 --> 00:51:40,839
Speaker 1: line of their defense, and all three of them were

1037
00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:43,600
Speaker 1: missing for that game. We got to take a break here.

1038
00:51:43,640 --> 00:51:45,799
Speaker 1: When we come back, our number two begins with our

1039
00:51:45,840 --> 00:51:49,480
Speaker 1: good friend Dani Orlofski, ESPN NFL analyst. He'll join us

1040
00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:52,040
Speaker 1: to dice up some x's and o's as we get

1041
00:51:52,080 --> 00:51:54,879
Speaker 1: set for Bills Rams, and maybe even take a brief

1042
00:51:54,920 --> 00:51:57,040
Speaker 1: look back at the Bills win over the Niners that's

1043
00:51:57,040 --> 00:51:58,880
Speaker 1: coming up next year on One Bills Live presented by

1044

Speaker 1: presented by Calllida Health. All Right, welcome back to our

1046
00:52:43,280 --> 00:52:46,000
Speaker 1: number two Tuesday edition of One Bills Live. Chris Brown,

1047
00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:48,760
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker please to be joined now by ESPN NFL

1048
00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:52,640
Speaker 1: analyst Dan Orlovsky and Dan's appearances on One Bills Live

1049
00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:56,240
Speaker 1: Presented by Caesar's Sportsbook and official mobile sports betting partner

1050
00:52:56,600 --> 00:52:59,640
Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills. Dan, let's begin here. Uh, the

1051
00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:02,719
Speaker 1: guy made his best case for MVP to date. I

1052
00:53:02,760 --> 00:53:08,719
Speaker 1: think Josh Allen goes rushing touchdown, receiving touchdown, passing touchdown

1053
00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:12,040
Speaker 1: all in the same game and did it on national

1054
00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:14,640
Speaker 1: television to boot. That's those are the kinds of things

1055
00:53:14,680 --> 00:53:17,560
Speaker 1: you need to do to vault yourself to the top

1056
00:53:17,560 --> 00:53:20,080
Speaker 1: of the list. In the conversation, I realize there are

1057
00:53:20,120 --> 00:53:22,680
Speaker 1: other worthy candidates, but where do you feel he has

1058
00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:25,080
Speaker 1: landed himself after last week's performance.

1059
00:53:26,480 --> 00:53:28,759
Speaker 12: Yeah, I think Josh is the favorite now and it's

1060
00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:32,359
Speaker 12: Josh's to lose. Saquon Barkley would probably be the guy

1061
00:53:32,440 --> 00:53:34,799
Speaker 12: that is closest. You know, on the same day that

1062
00:53:35,800 --> 00:53:38,719
Speaker 12: Lamar didn't play a good game, And that's two in

1063
00:53:38,760 --> 00:53:40,840
Speaker 12: the last three weeks that have kind of been subpart

1064
00:53:40,840 --> 00:53:44,440
Speaker 12: at least to that MVP and his standard, and Josh

1065
00:53:44,480 --> 00:53:47,600
Speaker 12: dominates the game amongst others. You know, it's Josh's to

1066
00:53:47,640 --> 00:53:51,000
Speaker 12: lose right now. He's playing too well. He's playing in

1067
00:53:51,040 --> 00:53:54,560
Speaker 12: a different method or a different way they've ever seen.

1068
00:53:54,800 --> 00:53:58,439
Speaker 12: He's absolutely doing it with less than others are doing it.

1069
00:53:58,560 --> 00:54:01,440
Speaker 12: And if it continue use you know, over the next

1070
00:54:01,800 --> 00:54:04,960
Speaker 12: what five games, you know, Josh will be the MVP finally,

1071
00:54:05,040 --> 00:54:07,960
Speaker 12: because it feels not many of us say this that

1072
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:10,920
Speaker 12: have an MVP boat is it feels like, oh, you

1073
00:54:10,920 --> 00:54:12,680
Speaker 12: could have given it to Josh that year. Well you

1074
00:54:12,680 --> 00:54:14,560
Speaker 12: could have given it to Josh that year, and so

1075
00:54:15,760 --> 00:54:18,399
Speaker 12: you know, I think it certainly feels like his year.

1076
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:20,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, you get to this point of the season and

1077
00:54:20,640 --> 00:54:22,400
Speaker 2: he kind of you kind of know who these teams

1078
00:54:22,400 --> 00:54:24,440
Speaker 2: are and the one thing that changes it are the injuries.

1079
00:54:24,520 --> 00:54:27,080
Speaker 2: Certainly San Francisco is going through it right now, even

1080
00:54:27,160 --> 00:54:28,160
Speaker 2: during this last game.

1081
00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:28,920
Speaker 5: Uh.

1082
00:54:29,600 --> 00:54:32,080
Speaker 2: And it's really that's hamstrung their ability. They are only

1083
00:54:32,120 --> 00:54:35,200
Speaker 2: two games out right, but you know you're running out

1084
00:54:35,200 --> 00:54:37,840
Speaker 2: of games. Uh. We were talking the other day the

1085
00:54:37,840 --> 00:54:40,200
Speaker 2: Bills walked down the Miami Dolphins. They were down three

1086
00:54:40,239 --> 00:54:43,319
Speaker 2: with five to play, and people here in Buffalo thought, yeah,

1087
00:54:43,320 --> 00:54:45,880
Speaker 2: we're gonna get them, and they did. Is you know

1088
00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:49,200
Speaker 2: the NFC West is a dogfight for San Francisco. We

1089
00:54:49,239 --> 00:54:52,560
Speaker 2: thought they would be desperate to win a game coming

1090
00:54:52,600 --> 00:54:55,640
Speaker 2: into Buffalo, and certainly the conditions were part of it.

1091
00:54:55,719 --> 00:54:57,680
Speaker 2: But you know, where do you see the two you know,

1092
00:54:57,680 --> 00:54:59,480
Speaker 2: where do you see the Bills right now in the

1093
00:54:59,520 --> 00:55:02,800
Speaker 2: big pick. Now that they've clinched the division, how do

1094
00:55:02,840 --> 00:55:06,400
Speaker 2: you handle the next five games, getting their healthy, staying sharp,

1095
00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:08,120
Speaker 2: but still having a shot at the one seed.

1096
00:55:09,800 --> 00:55:11,799
Speaker 12: Yeah, I think you're taking it week to week. If

1097
00:55:11,840 --> 00:55:13,839
Speaker 12: you're Sean McDermot and the Bills, you know, you're you're

1098
00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:16,320
Speaker 12: just trying to continue to play your best version of football,

1099
00:55:16,360 --> 00:55:19,200
Speaker 12: and you certainly have your eye on that one seed,

1100
00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:21,440
Speaker 12: you know. I don't think I said this yesterday on

1101
00:55:22,080 --> 00:55:24,160
Speaker 12: Get Up. I don't think if the Bills get the

1102
00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:25,960
Speaker 12: one seed, I think they go to the super Bowl.

1103
00:55:26,200 --> 00:55:29,120
Speaker 12: I don't believe that anybody's go into going into Orchard

1104
00:55:29,120 --> 00:55:31,880
Speaker 12: Park this year and beating this football team with the

1105
00:55:31,920 --> 00:55:34,520
Speaker 12: way that they can play. And again, I think that's

1106
00:55:34,520 --> 00:55:38,399
Speaker 12: a really important thing. So I do believe that you're

1107
00:55:38,520 --> 00:55:40,919
Speaker 12: you're very much so just taking it week by week.

1108
00:55:40,920 --> 00:55:43,720
Speaker 12: They got two really tough opponents coming up, the Rams

1109
00:55:44,080 --> 00:55:47,040
Speaker 12: coming up this week and then obviously Detroit next week.

1110
00:55:47,080 --> 00:55:49,759
Speaker 12: But focused on the week to week, we'll also paying

1111
00:55:49,760 --> 00:55:52,200
Speaker 12: attention to what happens with Kansas City, you know, and

1112
00:55:53,040 --> 00:55:57,160
Speaker 12: knowing that to get that one seed, or realistically to

1113
00:55:57,239 --> 00:55:59,400
Speaker 12: have the shot at it, you got to have them lose,

1114
00:55:59,719 --> 00:56:06,400
Speaker 12: and it certainly feels more realistic than ever that Kansas

1115
00:56:06,440 --> 00:56:08,719
Speaker 12: City could get knocked off at some point over the

1116
00:56:08,719 --> 00:56:11,719
Speaker 12: next couple of weeks. So I think it's still they've

1117
00:56:11,719 --> 00:56:14,120
Speaker 12: done such a good job of just being focused upon

1118
00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:16,640
Speaker 12: themselves that that's very much of the message.

1119
00:56:17,800 --> 00:56:21,840
Speaker 1: So Dan looking at this matchup for Buffalo with the Rams,

1120
00:56:22,239 --> 00:56:25,359
Speaker 1: They've got an exciting group of young talent on their

1121
00:56:25,440 --> 00:56:28,560
Speaker 1: defensive front. It's hard to ignore them on tape at all.

1122
00:56:28,640 --> 00:56:31,240
Speaker 1: They are just all over the place all the time.

1123
00:56:33,120 --> 00:56:35,399
Speaker 1: So that seems to be a calling card for them.

1124
00:56:35,840 --> 00:56:40,120
Speaker 1: Is there anything that you think maybe outpaces that for

1125
00:56:40,200 --> 00:56:43,480
Speaker 1: attention when you put the tape on of the Rams?

1126
00:56:44,800 --> 00:56:48,480
Speaker 12: No, I mean defensively, you can't. The main thing is

1127
00:56:48,520 --> 00:56:51,960
Speaker 12: you cannot let this group rush the passer. You can't.

1128
00:56:53,239 --> 00:56:56,200
Speaker 12: You know, it's the best young defensive line in football.

1129
00:56:56,280 --> 00:57:00,160
Speaker 12: It's deep, they got a lot of athleticism. The thing is,

1130
00:57:00,160 --> 00:57:02,640
Speaker 12: and what you've seen for a couple teams start to

1131
00:57:02,719 --> 00:57:05,440
Speaker 12: really focus on when you play against the Rams defense

1132
00:57:06,040 --> 00:57:09,279
Speaker 12: is number one. A lot of their run scheme is

1133
00:57:09,360 --> 00:57:13,240
Speaker 12: designed away from Jared Verse versus their first round draft pick.

1134
00:57:13,560 --> 00:57:17,320
Speaker 12: I think he's a university of Albany kid originally in college,

1135
00:57:17,360 --> 00:57:21,040
Speaker 12: so not all that far from Buffalo. He's a star,

1136
00:57:21,360 --> 00:57:23,280
Speaker 12: an absolute problem.

1137
00:57:23,480 --> 00:57:24,200
Speaker 2: So a lot of.

1138
00:57:24,160 --> 00:57:27,440
Speaker 12: Teams are running away from him to make sure because

1139
00:57:27,440 --> 00:57:31,480
Speaker 12: he's every down line defensive end, not just the rusher.

1140
00:57:31,920 --> 00:57:35,560
Speaker 12: So teams are running away from him successfully not letting

1141
00:57:35,640 --> 00:57:38,240
Speaker 12: him just blow the point up. And then the second

1142
00:57:38,240 --> 00:57:41,880
Speaker 12: thing is they're just not making plays on the football

1143
00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:45,120
Speaker 12: in the air on the perimeter. The Rams, they're just

1144
00:57:45,200 --> 00:57:48,880
Speaker 12: not The corners are not making plays. You know, they're

1145
00:57:48,920 --> 00:57:52,520
Speaker 12: not getting a many PBUs, they're getting out competed for

1146
00:57:52,560 --> 00:57:54,640
Speaker 12: the ball in the air. And so you know, I

1147
00:57:54,680 --> 00:57:58,080
Speaker 12: would say for Buffalo offensively, it's a little bit more

1148
00:57:58,160 --> 00:58:02,560
Speaker 12: of who we are and what you do versus the Rams.

1149
00:58:02,800 --> 00:58:04,800
Speaker 12: I think you're gonna see a heavy dose of that

1150
00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:06,840
Speaker 12: run game. I think you're gonna see a heavy dose

1151
00:58:06,880 --> 00:58:09,760
Speaker 12: of that six offensive line grouping. They're not going to

1152
00:58:09,880 --> 00:58:12,120
Speaker 12: try and get cute. You're gonna see your duo runs.

1153
00:58:12,120 --> 00:58:14,120
Speaker 12: You're gonna see your weak zone runs that they're so

1154
00:58:14,280 --> 00:58:19,080
Speaker 12: good at. And then I think some of those you know,

1155
00:58:19,160 --> 00:58:23,640
Speaker 12: contested throws or aggressive throats to the perimeter where their size,

1156
00:58:24,080 --> 00:58:27,360
Speaker 12: you know, with a coop or a MAC. We'll see

1157
00:58:27,360 --> 00:58:30,400
Speaker 12: if keon plays. I think their size pays dividends as well.

1158
00:58:31,240 --> 00:58:33,520
Speaker 2: And yeah, when you get out there, you're talking about

1159
00:58:33,560 --> 00:58:35,680
Speaker 2: you know, quick release passes, getting it out of his hands,

1160
00:58:35,680 --> 00:58:37,800
Speaker 2: so you don't have to drop back and let those guys,

1161
00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:41,200
Speaker 2: let the defensive line eat that. And what about you

1162
00:58:41,200 --> 00:58:43,360
Speaker 2: know what about play action? We saw of course the

1163
00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:46,760
Speaker 2: game was weird this last Sunday night against the forty

1164
00:58:46,840 --> 00:58:48,800
Speaker 2: nine ers. The Bills were under center a lot more

1165
00:58:48,840 --> 00:58:51,440
Speaker 2: than they had been because of the conditions. How does

1166
00:58:51,480 --> 00:58:53,960
Speaker 2: all that play into what they might do against the Rams?

1167
00:58:55,000 --> 00:58:58,720
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean so the Rams for for years now

1168
00:58:59,040 --> 00:59:01,000
Speaker 12: the one of the ways you wanted to try to

1169
00:59:01,040 --> 00:59:03,760
Speaker 12: attack them as play action in their backers. I actually

1170
00:59:03,800 --> 00:59:06,720
Speaker 12: think the group is played better this season and really

1171
00:59:07,920 --> 00:59:12,560
Speaker 12: more recently than it has in the years past. I

1172
00:59:12,600 --> 00:59:14,560
Speaker 12: really believe this. You know, if I look at my

1173
00:59:14,680 --> 00:59:18,360
Speaker 12: Rams notes defensive notes, and I'll go back multiple games,

1174
00:59:18,760 --> 00:59:22,240
Speaker 12: but even the Eagles game couldn't stop when you just

1175
00:59:22,280 --> 00:59:25,640
Speaker 12: got downhill run. You go to the Saints game couldn't

1176
00:59:25,680 --> 00:59:29,320
Speaker 12: stop when you got downhill run. This is advantage Buffalo

1177
00:59:29,640 --> 00:59:32,240
Speaker 12: and this is really one of the unique parts about

1178
00:59:32,240 --> 00:59:35,720
Speaker 12: this offense is how capable they are of doing that.

1179
00:59:35,880 --> 00:59:38,920
Speaker 12: So I think this again, the mindset for Joe Brading

1180
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:42,840
Speaker 12: this offense is they're not going to allow this pass

1181
00:59:42,920 --> 00:59:45,040
Speaker 12: rush to get going. They're gonna get at you runs.

1182
00:59:45,040 --> 00:59:47,480
Speaker 12: They're going to force this young unit to handle the

1183
00:59:47,520 --> 00:59:50,880
Speaker 12: double teams. I don't think this is a Josh is

1184
00:59:50,960 --> 00:59:53,600
Speaker 12: the start of the football game again moment. I really

1185
00:59:53,640 --> 00:59:56,400
Speaker 12: believe the balance of this offense kind of has the

1186
00:59:56,440 --> 00:59:59,280
Speaker 12: opportunity to shine again. I don't think the Rams defense,

1187
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:03,000
Speaker 12: I'm a huge fan of Sean and the organization. I

1188
01:00:03,040 --> 01:00:06,200
Speaker 12: don't think they can stop Buffalo's run game, all.

1189
01:00:06,160 --> 01:00:07,959
Speaker 1: Right, So let's flip it around to the other side,

1190
01:00:07,960 --> 01:00:10,040
Speaker 1: because Stafford can still throw it with the best of them.

1191
01:00:10,040 --> 01:00:12,840
Speaker 1: As we know, his offensive line is a bit healthier

1192
01:00:12,880 --> 01:00:15,920
Speaker 1: than it was a month ago, which was, you know,

1193
01:00:16,040 --> 01:00:20,280
Speaker 1: causing some issues there. And he's got Nakua and Cup.

1194
01:00:21,480 --> 01:00:23,880
Speaker 1: What do we make of Kyron Williams as a back.

1195
01:00:23,880 --> 01:00:25,760
Speaker 1: I mean, he's closing in on a thousand yards. He's

1196
01:00:25,800 --> 01:00:29,280
Speaker 1: had a nice season. So maybe just kind of encapsulate

1197
01:00:29,760 --> 01:00:33,080
Speaker 1: the skill positions for this Rams offense and what Buffalo

1198
01:00:33,120 --> 01:00:34,360
Speaker 1: has to be concerned about here.

1199
01:00:35,280 --> 01:00:37,720
Speaker 12: This is the key to the game. This matchup will

1200
01:00:37,760 --> 01:00:40,000
Speaker 12: determine if this game has a chance in the fourth

1201
01:00:40,120 --> 01:00:43,800
Speaker 12: quarter for the Rams to win. Number One two headed monster.

1202
01:00:43,880 --> 01:00:46,920
Speaker 12: In their backfield, Kyra Williams is fantastic. He's a great

1203
01:00:47,040 --> 01:00:50,640
Speaker 12: zone back. Blake Korum they took out of Michigan is

1204
01:00:51,200 --> 01:00:53,520
Speaker 12: not at their change of pace guy. He's just the

1205
01:00:53,960 --> 01:00:57,080
Speaker 12: other back that comes in. He's also both both of

1206
01:00:57,120 --> 01:00:59,640
Speaker 12: them are great in their zone scheme. Buffalo is going

1207
01:00:59,680 --> 01:01:01,800
Speaker 12: to see a ton of outside zone. This is a

1208
01:01:01,840 --> 01:01:05,040
Speaker 12: little bit throwback run game. Last year, Sean was pulling

1209
01:01:05,040 --> 01:01:07,440
Speaker 12: people a ton McVeigh. This year, it's gonna be a

1210
01:01:07,440 --> 01:01:10,840
Speaker 12: ton of the zone. And their receivers are elite. Blockers

1211
01:01:10,880 --> 01:01:14,200
Speaker 12: on the perimeter elite, so it is not all a

1212
01:01:14,240 --> 01:01:17,000
Speaker 12: different than Buffalo's run game with that least mentality. So

1213
01:01:17,400 --> 01:01:21,120
Speaker 12: it's gonna be paramount for the edge to be set. Defensively,

1214
01:01:21,560 --> 01:01:24,760
Speaker 12: those second level defenders, whether it's gonna be Terran, They're

1215
01:01:24,800 --> 01:01:27,360
Speaker 12: gonna try to run a Taron Johnson. I'm telling everybody

1216
01:01:27,400 --> 01:01:29,680
Speaker 12: about it right now. It's just the philosophy of that offense.

1217
01:01:29,960 --> 01:01:32,280
Speaker 12: I think the secondary is gonna have to set edges

1218
01:01:32,320 --> 01:01:35,280
Speaker 12: and tackle really well. So that's the number one run

1219
01:01:35,320 --> 01:01:36,920
Speaker 12: game that they'll get to. They'll get to it a

1220
01:01:36,920 --> 01:01:39,600
Speaker 12: bunch of different ways, and if they hit one early

1221
01:01:39,840 --> 01:01:42,560
Speaker 12: when I say six or eight yards, it's it's gonna

1222
01:01:42,600 --> 01:01:45,320
Speaker 12: come for the rest of the game, and just different formations.

1223
01:01:45,920 --> 01:01:46,920
Speaker 12: So that's their run.

1224
01:01:46,800 --> 01:01:49,240
Speaker 1: That they'll go ahead so quickly I was gonna throw

1225
01:01:49,240 --> 01:01:52,000
Speaker 1: in there, Dan with Milano back in the lineup. Now

1226
01:01:52,040 --> 01:01:55,840
Speaker 1: it affords the Bills the luxury of having Dorian Williams

1227
01:01:55,960 --> 01:01:59,440
Speaker 1: as a strong side backer in a base set. Do

1228
01:01:59,520 --> 01:02:02,680
Speaker 1: you see any value in turning to that or is

1229
01:02:02,720 --> 01:02:06,640
Speaker 1: it still not enough athleticism from a coverage standpoint that

1230
01:02:06,680 --> 01:02:08,840
Speaker 1: you would lose by taking tearing off the field.

1231
01:02:09,800 --> 01:02:13,040
Speaker 12: Yeah, I don't I understand the premise. I don't see

1232
01:02:13,040 --> 01:02:16,000
Speaker 12: that because you got to deal the Rams run it

1233
01:02:16,040 --> 01:02:19,000
Speaker 12: with the receivers as the blockers because they're so good,

1234
01:02:19,080 --> 01:02:23,120
Speaker 12: so you make yourself super vulnerable to them getting into

1235
01:02:23,200 --> 01:02:26,400
Speaker 12: four personnels. But then also one, their play action pass

1236
01:02:26,440 --> 01:02:29,680
Speaker 12: game is tremendous, and then two they'll they'll empty out

1237
01:02:29,680 --> 01:02:31,760
Speaker 12: in that stuff as well and just try to create

1238
01:02:31,760 --> 01:02:35,640
Speaker 12: different matchups. So that would be a dice roll to me,

1239
01:02:35,800 --> 01:02:38,280
Speaker 12: just because how good the pass game with the Rams

1240
01:02:38,280 --> 01:02:40,360
Speaker 12: could be. I think The second thing outside of that

1241
01:02:40,400 --> 01:02:43,760
Speaker 12: outside zone. The two things that are really paramount is

1242
01:02:44,640 --> 01:02:48,320
Speaker 12: no team double motions the way that Rams do. So

1243
01:02:49,240 --> 01:02:51,200
Speaker 12: what I mean by that is they'll motion a guy

1244
01:02:51,240 --> 01:02:54,240
Speaker 12: over like a pookah. Hookah's really the guy. Now, they'll

1245
01:02:54,280 --> 01:02:56,080
Speaker 12: motion them over, They'll get him set and the motion

1246
01:02:56,160 --> 01:03:01,360
Speaker 12: them again. And so the communication from Buffalo defensively, both

1247
01:03:01,360 --> 01:03:03,320
Speaker 12: in the run and the pass will be huge because

1248
01:03:03,840 --> 01:03:06,520
Speaker 12: you know, when they set pooka to one side and

1249
01:03:06,560 --> 01:03:09,080
Speaker 12: they motion them over, well, that two man surface may

1250
01:03:09,080 --> 01:03:12,280
Speaker 12: become a three man surface. So everybody's rules changes, and

1251
01:03:12,360 --> 01:03:15,200
Speaker 12: so then you change your rule and then two seconds

1252
01:03:15,280 --> 01:03:18,120
Speaker 12: later it changes once again. So that's going to be

1253
01:03:18,240 --> 01:03:23,640
Speaker 12: huge for Buffalo's defense. And then really the play action pass,

1254
01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:28,080
Speaker 12: no doubt, is something that's paramount, but it's the bootleg

1255
01:03:28,240 --> 01:03:32,440
Speaker 12: keeper game for the Rams will be huge for Buffalo

1256
01:03:32,480 --> 01:03:34,800
Speaker 12: to handle and stop. They run it in a ton

1257
01:03:34,840 --> 01:03:38,360
Speaker 12: of different ways. The fake one way Stafford comes going

1258
01:03:38,360 --> 01:03:39,880
Speaker 12: out to his right or left. He could do it

1259
01:03:39,920 --> 01:03:44,680
Speaker 12: both ways, and it's so difficult to handle because there's

1260
01:03:44,720 --> 01:03:46,840
Speaker 12: four different areas that he could throw the football to.

1261
01:03:46,880 --> 01:03:49,720
Speaker 12: At any point, you could take your shot down field,

1262
01:03:50,040 --> 01:03:52,480
Speaker 12: you could take a quick little flat right now, you

1263
01:03:52,480 --> 01:03:54,480
Speaker 12: could take the over route, and then they'll have this

1264
01:03:54,520 --> 01:03:57,440
Speaker 12: thing called like his late leak, that's almost a late checkdown.

1265
01:03:57,840 --> 01:04:00,720
Speaker 12: So as a defense, think about it this way, guys.

1266
01:04:01,120 --> 01:04:04,960
Speaker 12: You can't not pay attention to that run fake. So

1267
01:04:05,160 --> 01:04:09,080
Speaker 12: you gotta send your flow, your bodies, your gap responsibilities

1268
01:04:09,080 --> 01:04:12,800
Speaker 12: one way. But then you've become very vulnerable to becoming

1269
01:04:12,880 --> 01:04:15,440
Speaker 12: out leveraged on that back side of it. And so

1270
01:04:15,600 --> 01:04:17,800
Speaker 12: I think those are the two things or three things

1271
01:04:17,800 --> 01:04:21,600
Speaker 12: for Buffalo defensively to just really have to hone in

1272
01:04:21,640 --> 01:04:23,000
Speaker 12: on because it's a big challenge.

1273
01:04:23,240 --> 01:04:25,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, Brownie mentioned that their offensive line is going to

1274
01:04:25,320 --> 01:04:28,440
Speaker 2: get health heer they this last week DeMarcus Robinson got

1275
01:04:28,440 --> 01:04:31,720
Speaker 2: a hand injury and and also Stafford rolled his ankle.

1276
01:04:33,040 --> 01:04:35,760
Speaker 2: Nobody on there at their end that rams sounds too

1277
01:04:35,840 --> 01:04:40,880
Speaker 2: concerned about Stafford's ability to go. How are their health?

1278
01:04:40,960 --> 01:04:42,720
Speaker 2: How's the health of that team? I mean it seems

1279
01:04:42,720 --> 01:04:44,560
Speaker 2: like they're, you know, everybody's beat up at this time

1280
01:04:44,600 --> 01:04:47,040
Speaker 2: of year, but if Stafford goes down, everything kind of

1281
01:04:47,360 --> 01:04:49,720
Speaker 2: goes on hold, particularly with his rolled ankle.

1282
01:04:50,600 --> 01:04:53,680
Speaker 12: Yeah, Steve, I've played with Matthew for multiple years. You

1283
01:04:53,720 --> 01:04:56,439
Speaker 12: guys have the New Age version of Matthew. I mean,

1284
01:04:56,960 --> 01:05:00,200
Speaker 12: his heart would have to literally stop, not stop working

1285
01:05:00,200 --> 01:05:02,560
Speaker 12: for him not to play. So he's gonna play and

1286
01:05:02,960 --> 01:05:05,240
Speaker 12: he'll be plenty of healthy. It's the same as Josh.

1287
01:05:05,400 --> 01:05:07,000
Speaker 12: Josh would have to be dead not to play in

1288
01:05:07,040 --> 01:05:10,479
Speaker 12: the game, so stafford to play. I think their health

1289
01:05:10,560 --> 01:05:12,800
Speaker 12: is gonna be okay. The offensive line, I know you

1290
01:05:12,880 --> 01:05:17,240
Speaker 12: guys have talked about this offensive line, at least expectation wise,

1291
01:05:17,480 --> 01:05:20,360
Speaker 12: was gonna be one of the best offensive lines in

1292
01:05:20,400 --> 01:05:23,720
Speaker 12: football this year. Injuries certainly were a massive part of

1293
01:05:23,760 --> 01:05:26,520
Speaker 12: why they started so poorly. The whole offensive line was gone.

1294
01:05:27,120 --> 01:05:29,960
Speaker 12: A lot of those pieces have come back. They're also

1295
01:05:30,160 --> 01:05:34,360
Speaker 12: not playing that way though, They're still not playing to

1296
01:05:34,480 --> 01:05:37,760
Speaker 12: the way that they should have, specifically on the internal

1297
01:05:37,800 --> 01:05:41,360
Speaker 12: part of their offensive line. If you can get movement

1298
01:05:41,520 --> 01:05:44,680
Speaker 12: on that offensive line, you can have some success from

1299
01:05:44,720 --> 01:05:48,320
Speaker 12: a defensive front. I think health wise, they'll be great.

1300
01:05:48,360 --> 01:05:50,880
Speaker 12: They know they're in playoff mode. You know, the Rams

1301
01:05:50,960 --> 01:05:53,560
Speaker 12: gotta find a way to win four out of their

1302
01:05:53,600 --> 01:05:57,160
Speaker 12: final five to probably get in and catch what feels

1303
01:05:57,240 --> 01:06:01,120
Speaker 12: like the Seahawks. So I think health they understand the

1304
01:06:01,960 --> 01:06:02,880
Speaker 12: kind of the urgency.

1305
01:06:03,760 --> 01:06:06,040
Speaker 1: Last one before we let you go, Dan do you

1306
01:06:06,160 --> 01:06:09,080
Speaker 1: have something in your bag that would have prompted you

1307
01:06:09,640 --> 01:06:13,160
Speaker 1: to follow a behind the receiver throw in a goal

1308
01:06:13,240 --> 01:06:16,960
Speaker 1: to go situation, just in the off chance that the

1309
01:06:17,000 --> 01:06:20,400
Speaker 1: receiver either a fumbled the ball in the snow or

1310
01:06:20,640 --> 01:06:24,480
Speaker 1: you entertain the thought of saying, hey, give it to me. Because,

1311
01:06:24,720 --> 01:06:29,400
Speaker 1: according to Josh and to Amari, pure and unadulterated improv.

1312
01:06:30,520 --> 01:06:32,520
Speaker 12: No, I don't have that, of course not. I said.

1313
01:06:33,800 --> 01:06:37,160
Speaker 12: We played it. We played it multiple times on ESPN yesterday.

1314
01:06:37,200 --> 01:06:40,760
Speaker 12: I said, only that goon would make that play, That

1315
01:06:40,840 --> 01:06:44,840
Speaker 12: big six year old in a you know, six ft five,

1316
01:06:44,840 --> 01:06:47,400
Speaker 12: two hundred and forty pound body would make that play.

1317
01:06:47,640 --> 01:06:50,800
Speaker 12: I don't even I can't even like wrap my brain

1318
01:06:50,840 --> 01:06:55,080
Speaker 12: around the three second time period of sure, I'll go.

1319
01:06:55,200 --> 01:06:57,240
Speaker 12: It's like I'll go run after the ball. I would

1320
01:06:57,280 --> 01:06:59,960
Speaker 12: never do that. No, And then Amari is like the cat,

1321
01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:02,960
Speaker 12: which is absurd, but then the awareness to do it. Now,

1322
01:07:03,000 --> 01:07:04,640
Speaker 12: I'm so glad he scored, because if he went out

1323
01:07:04,680 --> 01:07:07,960
Speaker 12: of the one, it would have been completely deflating and

1324
01:07:08,040 --> 01:07:11,160
Speaker 12: not worth it. But the fact that he scores, Uh,

1325
01:07:11,240 --> 01:07:14,800
Speaker 12: it's it's vintage Josh, you know, And uh, it's it's

1326
01:07:14,840 --> 01:07:17,720
Speaker 12: one of the rare rare highlight places of his career.

1327
01:07:17,760 --> 01:07:19,520
Speaker 12: Not not rare, but unique highlight place.

1328
01:07:19,640 --> 01:07:22,160
Speaker 1: That's why Steve calls him a Golden Retriever puppy, because

1329
01:07:22,160 --> 01:07:23,160
Speaker 1: that's really what it is.

1330
01:07:23,320 --> 01:07:24,520
Speaker 12: Steve, I didn't want to say it.

1331
01:07:24,600 --> 01:07:25,480
Speaker 2: I didn't want to see it.

1332
01:07:25,520 --> 01:07:27,320
Speaker 12: My dogs literally laying right here.

1333
01:07:27,480 --> 01:07:30,480
Speaker 2: He's a good dog. Yeah, he's a good dog. I

1334
01:07:30,800 --> 01:07:34,120
Speaker 2: like we're getting to a point now where there's been

1335
01:07:34,120 --> 01:07:36,919
Speaker 2: a there's a line of demarcation in the AFC. Last

1336
01:07:36,920 --> 01:07:38,600
Speaker 2: one for me too, that it's going to be a

1337
01:07:38,640 --> 01:07:41,000
Speaker 2: fun end of the year. I mean this, this playoff

1338
01:07:41,040 --> 01:07:43,680
Speaker 2: scenario with the seven teams in each conference, Every team

1339
01:07:43,720 --> 01:07:46,800
Speaker 2: in the playoff hunt for the AFC starting with Denver

1340
01:07:47,480 --> 01:07:50,440
Speaker 2: has a winning record. Every team that's out of it

1341
01:07:50,480 --> 01:07:54,440
Speaker 2: does not. Uh, it's an absolute clear line of demarcation.

1342
01:07:54,880 --> 01:07:58,200
Speaker 2: Not so much in the in the NFC where Atlanta's

1343
01:07:58,280 --> 01:08:02,480
Speaker 2: leading the South six and six. But still, this seems

1344
01:08:02,560 --> 01:08:05,040
Speaker 2: like there is a kind of clear Marco that haves

1345
01:08:05,080 --> 01:08:07,160
Speaker 2: haves not. The guys who can win those games have

1346
01:08:07,240 --> 01:08:10,800
Speaker 2: won a ton of close games. I think this playoff

1347
01:08:11,120 --> 01:08:13,000
Speaker 2: run here at the end of this season might be

1348
01:08:13,120 --> 01:08:15,360
Speaker 2: kind of special in both conferences.

1349
01:08:16,400 --> 01:08:18,960
Speaker 12: I totally agree the conferences are different. You know, it's

1350
01:08:19,160 --> 01:08:21,800
Speaker 12: very clear in the NFC that there's two teams that

1351
01:08:21,840 --> 01:08:24,679
Speaker 12: are above everybody else. Are they get a little sure,

1352
01:08:24,760 --> 01:08:27,439
Speaker 12: But the Eagles and the Lions are probably the two

1353
01:08:27,520 --> 01:08:30,360
Speaker 12: best teams in football, the two most dominant teams in

1354
01:08:30,400 --> 01:08:33,960
Speaker 12: football right now. I probably put Buffalo third there. But

1355
01:08:34,120 --> 01:08:36,519
Speaker 12: in the NFC, it's like you're gonna have to catch them.

1356
01:08:36,560 --> 01:08:38,559
Speaker 12: I think you're gonna have to catch both Philly and

1357
01:08:38,760 --> 01:08:42,320
Speaker 12: Detroit and like a B game to beat them. You know,

1358
01:08:42,400 --> 01:08:45,840
Speaker 12: I think Green Bay is capable of it. Ironically, I

1359
01:08:45,880 --> 01:08:48,280
Speaker 12: think if the Rams get in, they're capable of it.

1360
01:08:48,640 --> 01:08:52,960
Speaker 12: The South, the Bucks give me a little bit of

1361
01:08:53,280 --> 01:08:57,880
Speaker 12: how good can they play defensively? Washington? How hot can

1362
01:08:57,920 --> 01:09:01,880
Speaker 12: they be offensively? And the a See it's a little

1363
01:09:01,920 --> 01:09:04,559
Speaker 12: bit of a shortage board almost. You know. I do

1364
01:09:04,640 --> 01:09:07,760
Speaker 12: think that Buffalo has earned the right to say, hey,

1365
01:09:07,800 --> 01:09:10,720
Speaker 12: we feel like we're the best team right now. I've

1366
01:09:10,720 --> 01:09:13,040
Speaker 12: said this multiple times, with all due respect. You gotta

1367
01:09:13,120 --> 01:09:16,360
Speaker 12: go through Patrick when it's winner, go home. It's not

1368
01:09:16,640 --> 01:09:20,240
Speaker 12: Week thirteen, and we got to when it's winner go home,

1369
01:09:20,320 --> 01:09:23,240
Speaker 12: to go through Spags and Patrick and Andy Reid and

1370
01:09:23,320 --> 01:09:26,600
Speaker 12: Kelsey and Chris Jones, you gotta go do it, and

1371
01:09:26,640 --> 01:09:30,280
Speaker 12: everybody knows that. But I do think that the AFC

1372
01:09:30,479 --> 01:09:34,760
Speaker 12: anybody can kind of be anybody. But I think if

1373
01:09:34,800 --> 01:09:37,120
Speaker 12: there's one team that feels this year to have a

1374
01:09:37,120 --> 01:09:39,519
Speaker 12: clear home field advantage if it gets done, it's Buffalo.

1375
01:09:40,520 --> 01:09:40,760
Speaker 2: Dan.

1376
01:09:40,800 --> 01:09:42,960
Speaker 1: Thanks has always appreciated the time. We'll catch up with

1377
01:09:43,000 --> 01:09:43,479
Speaker 1: you next week.

1378
01:09:44,360 --> 01:09:44,840
Speaker 12: Thanks, guys.

1379
01:09:45,000 --> 01:09:48,280
Speaker 1: Enjoy all right, that's Dan Orlovski joining us as he

1380
01:09:48,320 --> 01:09:50,839
Speaker 1: does every week on Tuesdays, please to have his insight

1381
01:09:51,360 --> 01:09:54,200
Speaker 1: into the upcoming game against the Rams. We do have

1382
01:09:54,240 --> 01:09:55,599
Speaker 1: to get back to the phones at eight o three

1383
01:09:55,640 --> 01:09:57,960
Speaker 1: zero five to fifteen one eight eight five fifty two

1384
01:09:57,960 --> 01:10:00,120
Speaker 1: five fifteen. Then I'm going to get on board as

1385
01:10:00,120 --> 01:10:03,280
Speaker 1: we're asking you today, what do you need to see

1386
01:10:03,360 --> 01:10:06,519
Speaker 1: from the Bills play on the field down the stretch?

1387
01:10:06,600 --> 01:10:09,040
Speaker 1: Now that the AFC title has been wrapped up, we

1388
01:10:09,120 --> 01:10:11,559
Speaker 1: go to Tim in South Carolina next. What's up Tim?

1389
01:10:12,640 --> 01:10:15,519
Speaker 7: Hi, guys, thanks for taking me on. I just wanted

1390
01:10:15,520 --> 01:10:19,040
Speaker 7: to say that it's not something that I need to see,

1391
01:10:19,040 --> 01:10:21,840
Speaker 7: it's something that I want to see. And I don't

1392
01:10:21,840 --> 01:10:23,920
Speaker 7: want this to be misconstrued as them taking the foot

1393
01:10:23,920 --> 01:10:25,599
Speaker 7: off the gas or anything like that, and I might

1394
01:10:25,640 --> 01:10:28,800
Speaker 7: even be, you know, two weeks early saying this, but

1395
01:10:28,840 --> 01:10:31,759
Speaker 7: I'd really like to see them start switching some people

1396
01:10:32,680 --> 01:10:35,040
Speaker 7: and kind of line changing a little bit, sprinkling some

1397
01:10:35,080 --> 01:10:39,840
Speaker 7: people in. You know, there's no reason that you know,

1398
01:10:39,960 --> 01:10:45,439
Speaker 7: Kyrie elam Cole Bishop, you know, even the linebacker situation,

1399
01:10:45,600 --> 01:10:47,840
Speaker 7: just to take some some wear and tear off some

1400
01:10:47,880 --> 01:10:50,479
Speaker 7: of these guys. The builds appelles, heel going down the

1401
01:10:50,479 --> 01:10:52,880
Speaker 7: stretch up until this point. And the reason they can't

1402
01:10:52,880 --> 01:10:54,800
Speaker 7: get past the Chiefs in the playoffs is because usually

1403
01:10:54,840 --> 01:10:58,599
Speaker 7: they leap, they limp in defensively. You know, you gotta

1404
01:10:58,640 --> 01:11:00,599
Speaker 7: play well on that day, like Steve Owis. But I'd

1405
01:11:00,640 --> 01:11:03,280
Speaker 7: really like to see some guys, you know, even your

1406
01:11:03,320 --> 01:11:06,479
Speaker 7: Jvon Solomon's of the world, just kind of get sprinkled in, Hey,

1407
01:11:06,479 --> 01:11:08,799
Speaker 7: this is going to be your series. We're up two scores,

1408
01:11:08,840 --> 01:11:11,280
Speaker 7: it's the middle of the third quarter. Just to kind

1409
01:11:11,280 --> 01:11:12,960
Speaker 7: of take some of the wear off some of these

1410
01:11:12,960 --> 01:11:15,840
Speaker 7: people and also keep them mentally fresh and new and

1411
01:11:15,880 --> 01:11:17,320
Speaker 7: things like that. I just think that would go a

1412
01:11:17,360 --> 01:11:19,160
Speaker 7: long way down the stretch. And I'd love to know

1413
01:11:19,200 --> 01:11:22,000
Speaker 7: what you guys think. But by all means, I'm not

1414
01:11:22,040 --> 01:11:23,479
Speaker 7: saying take the foot off the gas. And I might

1415
01:11:23,479 --> 01:11:25,479
Speaker 7: be a little early saying this too, but let me

1416
01:11:25,479 --> 01:11:26,160
Speaker 7: know what you guys think.

1417
01:11:26,200 --> 01:11:28,880
Speaker 1: Thanks, Yeah, sure thing, Tim, good call. I think it's

1418
01:11:28,920 --> 01:11:31,840
Speaker 1: a valid thing to keep an eye on. And as

1419
01:11:31,880 --> 01:11:35,240
Speaker 1: we just heard Dan say, he's McDermot and his staff

1420
01:11:35,320 --> 01:11:37,880
Speaker 1: have to take it week to week. You know, his

1421
01:11:38,200 --> 01:11:40,920
Speaker 1: first question should be is the top overall playoff seed

1422
01:11:41,000 --> 01:11:41,599
Speaker 1: still in play?

1423
01:11:41,680 --> 01:11:42,000
Speaker 2: It is?

1424
01:11:42,120 --> 01:11:45,120
Speaker 1: Okay, this is our approach if that's the case, and

1425
01:11:45,280 --> 01:11:49,120
Speaker 1: if it's not, maybe it changes dramatically. What's the end

1426
01:11:49,120 --> 01:11:52,479
Speaker 1: between those two things? And I think we've seen it

1427
01:11:52,520 --> 01:11:55,519
Speaker 1: to some degree already. The Bills have been fortunate enough

1428
01:11:55,520 --> 01:11:57,799
Speaker 1: to get way up on some teams in some games,

1429
01:11:58,160 --> 01:12:00,800
Speaker 1: and that affords them to sit start for the final

1430
01:12:00,880 --> 01:12:04,280
Speaker 1: quarter like they did last week. That's a huge benefit

1431
01:12:04,600 --> 01:12:08,479
Speaker 1: to the starters primarily, but also to the reserves who

1432
01:12:08,520 --> 01:12:11,040
Speaker 1: get in there and get some valuable reps should they

1433
01:12:11,080 --> 01:12:13,360
Speaker 1: be called upon in an important situation later on in

1434
01:12:13,400 --> 01:12:15,920
Speaker 1: the season or even in the postseason, which we have

1435
01:12:16,040 --> 01:12:19,559
Speaker 1: seen probably more often than fans would like due to injuries.

1436
01:12:20,040 --> 01:12:23,200
Speaker 1: So there are multiple approaches you can take. I'm not

1437
01:12:23,240 --> 01:12:25,800
Speaker 1: completely opposed to it, but I think it only comes

1438
01:12:25,800 --> 01:12:28,320
Speaker 1: into play. If the Bills are up three scores on

1439
01:12:28,360 --> 01:12:30,040
Speaker 1: a team going into the fourth quarter.

1440
01:12:29,960 --> 01:12:33,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, And you saw it this week. Josh was

1441
01:12:33,160 --> 01:12:36,160
Speaker 2: out of the game with twelve minutes to go or thereabouts,

1442
01:12:37,160 --> 01:12:43,879
Speaker 2: and in the Seahawks game thirty one to ten Tennessee

1443
01:12:43,880 --> 01:12:49,960
Speaker 2: Titans game, so you got Yeah, there are opportunities for that.

1444
01:12:50,400 --> 01:12:54,400
Speaker 2: But the object is today and always will be today,

1445
01:12:55,000 --> 01:12:58,120
Speaker 2: and this week it's beat the Rams, and you're gonna

1446
01:12:58,120 --> 01:12:59,840
Speaker 2: do everything you can to beat them, everything it takes

1447
01:13:00,080 --> 01:13:03,519
Speaker 2: beat them. If there presents an opportunity, whereas the Rams

1448
01:13:03,560 --> 01:13:05,360
Speaker 2: fall on their face and you're up twenty seven to

1449
01:13:05,400 --> 01:13:08,040
Speaker 2: nothing in the middle of the third quarter, yeah you

1450
01:13:08,080 --> 01:13:09,920
Speaker 2: come out. You have If Josh is still in the game,

1451
01:13:10,000 --> 01:13:15,680
Speaker 2: he's handing it off to Ty Johnson, you know. And

1452
01:13:15,800 --> 01:13:17,600
Speaker 2: if you want to go further than that, Josh is

1453
01:13:17,640 --> 01:13:19,559
Speaker 2: out of the game, Mitch Trubisky's in and all three

1454
01:13:19,800 --> 01:13:23,559
Speaker 2: reserve offensive linemen are on the field. That kind of

1455
01:13:23,560 --> 01:13:25,799
Speaker 2: stuff can happen. But when you get into the game,

1456
01:13:26,439 --> 01:13:28,680
Speaker 2: you only have forty seven guys. It's not like you

1457
01:13:28,800 --> 01:13:31,479
Speaker 2: got a guy for every single position on the field.

1458
01:13:31,640 --> 01:13:34,920
Speaker 2: You don't. There's only you only have eight offensive linemen

1459
01:13:34,960 --> 01:13:38,840
Speaker 2: available defensive lineman. I mean, you can you rotate them

1460
01:13:38,840 --> 01:13:43,480
Speaker 2: in anyway. There's only a couple of linebackers available for

1461
01:13:43,479 --> 01:13:47,599
Speaker 2: for to come in for Milano and Bernard, and they're

1462
01:13:47,640 --> 01:13:49,760
Speaker 2: playing special teams as well, so you don't want to

1463
01:13:49,760 --> 01:13:54,439
Speaker 2: lose those guys either. So you're limited into what you

1464
01:13:54,479 --> 01:13:57,479
Speaker 2: can do once you start the game, and you're going

1465
01:13:57,479 --> 01:14:00,920
Speaker 2: into that game knowing, particularly in this case scenario, you

1466
01:14:01,000 --> 01:14:06,280
Speaker 2: got to win. You gotta win, and so resting guys

1467
01:14:06,520 --> 01:14:10,040
Speaker 2: is an option only after the game is on ice,

1468
01:14:10,600 --> 01:14:13,479
Speaker 2: and that may or may not happen. Coming into these

1469
01:14:13,560 --> 01:14:16,080
Speaker 2: last five games, you may be hanging on tooth and

1470
01:14:16,160 --> 01:14:18,280
Speaker 2: nail right to the last second of every game.

1471
01:14:18,360 --> 01:14:20,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, you can't forget. You got teams breathing

1472
01:14:20,600 --> 01:14:23,240
Speaker 1: down your neck right behind you. The Steelers are nine

1473
01:14:23,240 --> 01:14:28,120
Speaker 1: and three, and then right behind them you got the

1474
01:14:28,200 --> 01:14:30,680
Speaker 1: Ravens at eight and five. But then Houston is eight

1475
01:14:30,720 --> 01:14:32,800
Speaker 1: and five and leading their division, and the Chargers are

1476
01:14:32,840 --> 01:14:34,960
Speaker 1: eight and four and they're playing the Chiefs this week.

1477
01:14:35,080 --> 01:14:37,439
Speaker 2: You got Chargers, Baltimore, you got Denver. All these teams

1478
01:14:37,439 --> 01:14:44,360
Speaker 2: are here's the thing. You certainly could take your foot

1479
01:14:44,400 --> 01:14:46,320
Speaker 2: off the gas or whatever and just coast to the

1480
01:14:46,360 --> 01:14:49,160
Speaker 2: finish at ten and two and go ten and six

1481
01:14:49,280 --> 01:14:53,640
Speaker 2: or ten and seven just and be really healthy. But

1482
01:14:54,200 --> 01:14:56,280
Speaker 2: obviously you'd go in thinking, wow, I wonder if we

1483
01:14:56,320 --> 01:14:58,839
Speaker 2: can turn it on when we're in a really big game.

1484
01:14:58,760 --> 01:15:00,400
Speaker 1: Not to mention the fact that you're probably only going

1485
01:15:00,479 --> 01:15:01,679
Speaker 1: to get one home playoff game.

1486
01:15:02,479 --> 01:15:06,599
Speaker 2: So you got to you gotta push to keep at

1487
01:15:06,680 --> 01:15:09,000
Speaker 2: least the number two seed, because there's something in that

1488
01:15:09,080 --> 01:15:12,080
Speaker 2: as well, particularly the way the Chiefs have been playing.

1489
01:15:12,360 --> 01:15:15,560
Speaker 2: Because after after the week too, when you're in a

1490
01:15:15,640 --> 01:15:19,720
Speaker 2: divisional round you win and the Chiefs don't, maybe you

1491
01:15:19,760 --> 01:15:21,160
Speaker 2: don't go through the Chiefs this year.

1492
01:15:21,439 --> 01:15:21,639
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1493
01:15:22,240 --> 01:15:22,320
Speaker 6: Uh.

1494
01:15:22,400 --> 01:15:25,280
Speaker 2: And the AFC Championship, if you can get there is here.

1495
01:15:26,360 --> 01:15:28,960
Speaker 2: We had that opportunity a few years ago and it

1496
01:15:29,000 --> 01:15:34,120
Speaker 2: didn't work. So all of that's on the table. I

1497
01:15:34,200 --> 01:15:36,960
Speaker 2: get it. We all that's the challenge. We've been talking

1498
01:15:37,000 --> 01:15:39,719
Speaker 2: about it at length and from every different angle. Yeah,

1499
01:15:39,760 --> 01:15:42,040
Speaker 2: you want to hit the playoffs healthy. It's been a

1500
01:15:42,240 --> 01:15:43,960
Speaker 2: It was a problem last year for sure, and it's

1501
01:15:44,000 --> 01:15:45,679
Speaker 2: been a little bit of a problem other times. Other

1502
01:15:45,680 --> 01:15:48,080
Speaker 2: times they've gotten in there really healthy and sharp.

1503
01:15:48,880 --> 01:15:50,479
Speaker 1: But if you get if you get the top seed,

1504
01:15:50,520 --> 01:15:52,120
Speaker 1: you get an extra buy to get healthy.

1505
01:15:52,240 --> 01:15:54,880
Speaker 2: That's right. If you put your foot on the gas

1506
01:15:54,920 --> 01:15:56,880
Speaker 2: and you get the one seed, you get another bye

1507
01:15:56,960 --> 01:15:59,599
Speaker 2: week and then you can really shift gears.

1508
01:16:00,600 --> 01:16:02,439
Speaker 1: Break time for us here more of your phone calls

1515
01:16:39,040 --> 01:16:41,759
Speaker 1: in the red zone. Let me break off some numbers

1516
01:16:41,760 --> 01:16:45,280
Speaker 1: for you right now. The Bills are tied for fourth

1517
01:16:45,280 --> 01:16:47,800
Speaker 1: in the NFL and yards per carry average in the

1518
01:16:47,840 --> 01:16:50,639
Speaker 1: red zone. They are tied for third in the league

1519
01:16:50,680 --> 01:16:54,000
Speaker 1: and rushing touchdowns in the red zone. They are second

1520
01:16:54,000 --> 01:16:57,280
Speaker 1: in the NFL with rushing first downs in the red zone.

1521
01:16:57,880 --> 01:17:01,200
Speaker 1: They are fourth in carries per two touchdown in the

1522
01:17:01,240 --> 01:17:03,240
Speaker 1: red zone, and they are number one in the league

1523
01:17:03,240 --> 01:17:06,599
Speaker 1: in first downs per rush in the red zone. They

1524
01:17:06,600 --> 01:17:10,040
Speaker 1: do that forty three percent of the time. They can

1525
01:17:10,120 --> 01:17:13,120
Speaker 1: run it down there where it's tight, and that forces

1526
01:17:13,200 --> 01:17:17,680
Speaker 1: defenses to account for that, which then allows for some

1527
01:17:17,720 --> 01:17:19,400
Speaker 1: passing opportunities off play action.

1528
01:17:19,560 --> 01:17:22,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's they're a good red zone team, and

1529
01:17:22,880 --> 01:17:24,160
Speaker 2: that's what it's going to take.

1530
01:17:24,200 --> 01:17:27,200
Speaker 1: It's nine for twelve in their last three games in

1531
01:17:27,240 --> 01:17:27,880
Speaker 1: the red zone.

1532
01:17:27,960 --> 01:17:33,559
Speaker 2: There they score red zone, they score sixty six percent

1533
01:17:33,600 --> 01:17:35,320
Speaker 2: of the time. Yeah, in the red zone.

1534
01:17:35,120 --> 01:17:36,679
Speaker 1: They're top the third in the league.

1535
01:17:36,680 --> 01:17:38,120
Speaker 2: Now, Yeah, they're tied for third in the league in

1536
01:17:38,120 --> 01:17:38,920
Speaker 2: that percentage.

1537
01:17:39,040 --> 01:17:42,600
Speaker 1: They're nine for ten in goal to go situations the

1538
01:17:42,720 --> 01:17:43,519
Speaker 1: last three games.

1539
01:17:43,520 --> 01:17:48,800
Speaker 2: They're eighty six eighty seven percent on fourth down conversions,

1540
01:17:48,800 --> 01:17:51,639
Speaker 2: which is tied for first in the league. They're eighth

1541
01:17:51,720 --> 01:17:54,120
Speaker 2: in the league. After starting the league year so bad

1542
01:17:54,160 --> 01:17:56,800
Speaker 2: on third down, they're now eighth in the league in

1543
01:17:56,880 --> 01:18:00,559
Speaker 2: third down conversions. So they're getting there.

1544
01:18:02,320 --> 01:18:06,320
Speaker 1: That's what's heating up. What's cooling down are the Baltimore

1545
01:18:06,400 --> 01:18:10,719
Speaker 1: Ravens now eight and five on the season. They've dropped

1546
01:18:10,760 --> 01:18:11,960
Speaker 1: two of their last.

1547
01:18:11,680 --> 01:18:14,160
Speaker 2: Three, three of their last six, three of their.

1548
01:18:14,120 --> 01:18:18,519
Speaker 1: Last six, and their kicker is in a bad way

1549
01:18:18,600 --> 01:18:21,479
Speaker 1: right now. He has missed ten total kicks on the season.

1550
01:18:21,920 --> 01:18:25,679
Speaker 1: The most accurate kicker in team history has lost his way.

1551
01:18:25,720 --> 01:18:28,240
Speaker 2: In league history. Yeah, when he started this season.

1552
01:18:28,280 --> 01:18:33,360
Speaker 1: He will undoubtedly be trying to rediscover the magic during

1553
01:18:33,360 --> 01:18:35,240
Speaker 1: the bye week for them. They're on the by the

1554
01:18:35,360 --> 01:18:39,400
Speaker 1: Ravens are, but they have hit the skids to some

1555
01:18:39,479 --> 01:18:43,320
Speaker 1: degree by their standards, with their level of play of late.

1556
01:18:43,960 --> 01:18:46,559
Speaker 1: I don't know that they've played terrible, but they certainly

1557
01:18:46,560 --> 01:18:49,679
Speaker 1: haven't played well enough to win in much the same

1558
01:18:49,720 --> 01:18:52,599
Speaker 1: fashion that they were earlier this season. And Steve has

1559
01:18:52,640 --> 01:18:56,479
Speaker 1: talked about this. They were killing people earlier in the year,

1560
01:18:57,280 --> 01:19:00,400
Speaker 1: and Steve said it, he warned us a right to

1561
01:19:00,400 --> 01:19:02,639
Speaker 1: play that way for four straight months.

1562
01:19:02,920 --> 01:19:06,599
Speaker 2: And I'll say this too, that you've heard me talk about.

1563
01:19:06,640 --> 01:19:08,840
Speaker 2: I talk about this to Brownie all the time. Most

1564
01:19:08,920 --> 01:19:12,080
Speaker 2: people can't don't understand because they don't have a reference

1565
01:19:12,120 --> 01:19:14,840
Speaker 2: point of how difficult it is to do anything when

1566
01:19:14,840 --> 01:19:18,439
Speaker 2: you don't feel good. And I and I you know,

1567
01:19:18,600 --> 01:19:21,080
Speaker 2: you know everybody, everybody's gone to work and done you

1568
01:19:21,120 --> 01:19:23,000
Speaker 2: know where you just don't feel one hundred percent, or

1569
01:19:23,000 --> 01:19:24,720
Speaker 2: you twist your ankle and you still got to You

1570
01:19:24,800 --> 01:19:26,519
Speaker 2: gotta go into work and sit at your desk, or

1571
01:19:26,520 --> 01:19:33,280
Speaker 2: whether you're under the weather, you know, you gotta every

1572
01:19:33,320 --> 01:19:36,720
Speaker 2: single game in the in the league, guys come out

1573
01:19:36,720 --> 01:19:39,880
Speaker 2: of that game soar as you can imagine, they hurt,

1574
01:19:40,840 --> 01:19:43,360
Speaker 2: and over the course of seventeen weeks, particularly a team

1575
01:19:44,160 --> 01:19:47,960
Speaker 2: like the Baltimore Ravens with Lamar and with Derrick Henry.

1576
01:19:48,120 --> 01:19:50,800
Speaker 2: Derrick Henry looks like an unstoppable force. I know it,

1577
01:19:50,840 --> 01:19:53,880
Speaker 2: he does. But the other night you saw Cooper de

1578
01:19:53,960 --> 01:19:56,040
Speaker 2: jene or Rookie come out there and stick his helmet

1579
01:19:56,120 --> 01:20:00,120
Speaker 2: right into his chest, lift him up and dump him.

1580
01:20:01,000 --> 01:20:03,840
Speaker 2: It's hard to keep that going and feel good enough

1581
01:20:03,880 --> 01:20:07,000
Speaker 2: to do that when you're running back and get you

1582
01:20:07,120 --> 01:20:10,320
Speaker 2: got guys. You've got a huge target on you. And

1583
01:20:10,400 --> 01:20:12,479
Speaker 2: I know he comes up and he makes guys embarrass

1584
01:20:12,520 --> 01:20:14,120
Speaker 2: his guys with his stiff arm and all that. Let

1585
01:20:14,160 --> 01:20:15,720
Speaker 2: me tell you something, when you stiff arm, guys, your

1586
01:20:15,760 --> 01:20:18,760
Speaker 2: hand hurts, your shoulder gets jammed, and you do that

1587
01:20:18,920 --> 01:20:20,600
Speaker 2: three times in a game and you wake up the

1588
01:20:20,640 --> 01:20:24,360
Speaker 2: next day and you need ice. So over the course

1589
01:20:24,400 --> 01:20:27,320
Speaker 2: of these four months, the physical nature that the Ravens

1590
01:20:27,360 --> 01:20:30,840
Speaker 2: play with takes its toll on them, and I think they,

1591
01:20:30,920 --> 01:20:33,200
Speaker 2: you know, they kind of go through this physical slump

1592
01:20:33,880 --> 01:20:36,280
Speaker 2: where they can They're still trying to win games and

1593
01:20:36,360 --> 01:20:38,600
Speaker 2: trying to do it a little bit without doing the

1594
01:20:38,720 --> 01:20:44,120
Speaker 2: hard stuff. And it's not it's not as successful. It's

1595
01:20:44,160 --> 01:20:47,120
Speaker 2: not as successful. This the physical nature of their game

1596
01:20:47,320 --> 01:20:50,120
Speaker 2: really makes it tough for them to sustain it for

1597
01:20:50,240 --> 01:20:51,040
Speaker 2: eighteen weeks.

1598
01:20:51,439 --> 01:20:53,640
Speaker 1: So that is heating up and cooling down, presented by

1599
01:20:53,640 --> 01:20:57,080
Speaker 1: a team mark, Hvac and plumbing. Call in the home team.

1600
01:20:57,439 --> 01:20:59,880
Speaker 1: Let's get back to the phones and we pivot to

1601
01:21:00,520 --> 01:21:02,240
Speaker 1: in West Seneca. What do you got for his mark?

1602
01:21:02,240 --> 01:21:03,120
Speaker 1: Here on One Bill's Live.

1603
01:21:03,640 --> 01:21:07,639
Speaker 13: Hey, Chris, say, Steve, how are today? That's good? That's good.

1604
01:21:09,400 --> 01:21:15,320
Speaker 13: I'm calling in to give Brandon being some kudos. He

1605
01:21:15,439 --> 01:21:18,559
Speaker 13: amazes me because he tells the things he's gonna do

1606
01:21:18,720 --> 01:21:20,720
Speaker 13: and then and wants to do, and then he goes

1607
01:21:20,720 --> 01:21:22,479
Speaker 13: out and does it. What I'm referring to is this

1608
01:21:23,840 --> 01:21:26,800
Speaker 13: when we started this season, there's nobody that follows the

1609
01:21:26,840 --> 01:21:30,000
Speaker 13: Bills with what we had to do that would have

1610
01:21:30,040 --> 01:21:34,080
Speaker 13: said this is is not a transition, Yere And like Steve,

1611
01:21:34,120 --> 01:21:37,040
Speaker 13: I think you said earlier, we had a lot of

1612
01:21:37,120 --> 01:21:41,160
Speaker 13: question marks all over the roster, and Brandon before the

1613
01:21:41,200 --> 01:21:44,680
Speaker 13: season started, before the draft said it's imperative that we

1614
01:21:44,800 --> 01:21:47,800
Speaker 13: nail this draft. Well, I believe he pretty much went

1615
01:21:47,840 --> 01:21:51,120
Speaker 13: out and did that, and then he always tells us

1616
01:21:51,160 --> 01:21:55,559
Speaker 13: that his goal as the GM is to always give

1617
01:21:55,960 --> 01:21:58,400
Speaker 13: the team the best chance to have a kick at

1618
01:21:58,400 --> 01:22:02,360
Speaker 13: the can every year, but never losing sight of wanting

1619
01:22:02,400 --> 01:22:06,240
Speaker 13: to stay competitive year after year. And the way he's

1620
01:22:06,240 --> 01:22:08,800
Speaker 13: got his positioned, I think we're at least a year

1621
01:22:08,880 --> 01:22:11,840
Speaker 13: ahead of that goal when you look at what we

1622
01:22:11,920 --> 01:22:15,080
Speaker 13: possibly can do next year and what they have put

1623
01:22:15,120 --> 01:22:17,920
Speaker 13: in place. And of course Sean McDermott and his staff

1624
01:22:18,000 --> 01:22:20,959
Speaker 13: is a huge part of this in their development of players.

1625
01:22:21,600 --> 01:22:28,880
Speaker 13: So he absolutely amazes me. He in a industry where

1626
01:22:28,920 --> 01:22:32,760
Speaker 13: it is not an exact science by any means, he

1627
01:22:32,920 --> 01:22:38,360
Speaker 13: continues every year to identify players that have the talent

1628
01:22:38,720 --> 01:22:42,080
Speaker 13: and the ability to come in and the mindset to

1629
01:22:42,160 --> 01:22:45,760
Speaker 13: apply themselves to be professional athletes and then hands them

1630
01:22:45,760 --> 01:22:49,040
Speaker 13: over to Sean and Sean develops them. So what od

1631
01:22:49,040 --> 01:22:51,760
Speaker 13: grade one two punch? I think we need to just

1632
01:22:52,080 --> 01:22:55,519
Speaker 13: sit back and enjoy these guys no matter how these

1633
01:22:55,560 --> 01:22:58,200
Speaker 13: seasons play out. Is just we know we have a

1634
01:22:58,280 --> 01:23:02,040
Speaker 13: shot every Sea go year with these guys. And I

1635
01:23:02,160 --> 01:23:04,840
Speaker 13: just if he's not the GM of the year, I

1636
01:23:04,880 --> 01:23:08,120
Speaker 13: don't know who is. But I just wanted to give

1637
01:23:08,160 --> 01:23:12,040
Speaker 13: some flowers to Brandon because he is absolutely in my mind,

1638
01:23:12,080 --> 01:23:15,280
Speaker 13: an amazing if probably the best GM in the league,

1639
01:23:15,479 --> 01:23:17,920
Speaker 13: and certainly the best for Buffalo. So and as far

1640
01:23:17,920 --> 01:23:21,360
Speaker 13: as what I'm looking for looking a little bit past

1641
01:23:21,400 --> 01:23:23,719
Speaker 13: the Rams, I know we shouldn't do that, but I'm

1642
01:23:23,880 --> 01:23:27,439
Speaker 13: really really focused on that Detroit game. I want to

1643
01:23:27,479 --> 01:23:30,559
Speaker 13: see how we measure up against those guys and how

1644
01:23:30,600 --> 01:23:34,560
Speaker 13: we play them, and especially defensively where we're going to

1645
01:23:34,600 --> 01:23:37,760
Speaker 13: be at up against those guys, and having Malano back

1646
01:23:37,880 --> 01:23:39,920
Speaker 13: is really going to be a big boost in that game,

1647
01:23:39,960 --> 01:23:42,679
Speaker 13: I believe. So that's what I had for you today, guys.

1648
01:23:42,720 --> 01:23:43,320
Speaker 13: Thanks so much.

1649
01:23:44,120 --> 01:23:44,320
Speaker 2: Mark.

1650
01:23:44,760 --> 01:23:48,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, the phrase that Brandon being used when he got here,

1651
01:23:48,040 --> 01:23:50,400
Speaker 1: as far as the model for this franchise in terms

1652
01:23:50,400 --> 01:23:56,599
Speaker 1: of roster building, was with sustained success in mind. Every year,

1653
01:23:56,720 --> 01:23:59,280
Speaker 1: you got to swing at it, not let's all go

1654
01:23:59,360 --> 01:24:01,920
Speaker 1: for it this year and then we're gonna tear it

1655
01:24:02,000 --> 01:24:04,960
Speaker 1: down and rebuild with spare parts for the next two

1656
01:24:05,000 --> 01:24:06,840
Speaker 1: or three years, and then we'll take a swing again.

1657
01:24:07,360 --> 01:24:10,559
Speaker 1: And you know, he would rather be up here all

1658
01:24:10,600 --> 01:24:12,920
Speaker 1: the time than have these peaks and valleys to the

1659
01:24:13,000 --> 01:24:16,519
Speaker 1: roster equality. And they've done a good job, and look,

1660
01:24:16,520 --> 01:24:19,479
Speaker 1: they've made some tough decisions. They've bit the bullet salary

1661
01:24:19,479 --> 01:24:21,479
Speaker 1: cap wise when they've needed to. They've bit a thirty

1662
01:24:21,520 --> 01:24:24,120
Speaker 1: one million dollar bullet on trading digs. But guess what,

1663
01:24:24,160 --> 01:24:26,080
Speaker 1: They're gonna have a second extra second round pick in

1664
01:24:26,120 --> 01:24:26,920
Speaker 1: the draft this year.

1665
01:24:27,600 --> 01:24:31,080
Speaker 2: And they said goodbye to some really good players. You know.

1666
01:24:31,120 --> 01:24:34,280
Speaker 2: They said goodbye to Mitch Morrister, Davius White, you know,

1667
01:24:36,520 --> 01:24:39,439
Speaker 2: Jordan Poyer, Micah Hyde. They said goodbye to some guys

1668
01:24:39,439 --> 01:24:43,720
Speaker 2: who had played extremely well for this franchise who they

1669
01:24:43,800 --> 01:24:48,280
Speaker 2: needed to replace. They needed somebody with some more athleticism

1670
01:24:48,320 --> 01:24:52,840
Speaker 2: and more youth and some you know, some speed. That

1671
01:24:52,920 --> 01:24:54,800
Speaker 2: was hard to do, but they did it. And I

1672
01:24:54,840 --> 01:24:57,960
Speaker 2: think that's one of the ways Brandon Bean is is

1673
01:24:58,000 --> 01:25:01,000
Speaker 2: a good GM because they don't fall in love with

1674
01:25:01,080 --> 01:25:05,479
Speaker 2: guys just because they're great guys. They have the courage

1675
01:25:05,520 --> 01:25:07,639
Speaker 2: to say goodbye to guys who have really played well

1676
01:25:07,680 --> 01:25:10,720
Speaker 2: for you, just knowing you've got better options. That's hard

1677
01:25:10,760 --> 01:25:13,080
Speaker 2: to do for that's hard to do for fans, let

1678
01:25:13,120 --> 01:25:17,679
Speaker 2: alone guys who actually signed the paper. So it's uh, yes,

1679
01:25:17,800 --> 01:25:21,520
Speaker 2: Brandon Bean deserves a lot of kudos, and perhaps somebody

1680
01:25:21,560 --> 01:25:24,439
Speaker 2: will it will cross paths with across the mind of

1681
01:25:24,520 --> 01:25:28,200
Speaker 2: somebody to nominate him for Executive the Year. I don't

1682
01:25:28,200 --> 01:25:30,320
Speaker 2: even know where that comes from or where those nominees are,

1683
01:25:30,320 --> 01:25:34,479
Speaker 2: but they pick one every year, and you're right, he's

1684
01:25:34,520 --> 01:25:35,280
Speaker 2: got a shot at that.

1685
01:25:36,000 --> 01:25:38,000
Speaker 1: Let's go to Ryan in Toronto next.

1686
01:25:38,000 --> 01:25:43,400
Speaker 14: What's up, Ryan, Chris, Steve, love the show, Love the topic, Steve.

1687
01:25:43,560 --> 01:25:45,400
Speaker 14: I know you've been saying that how you know what

1688
01:25:45,439 --> 01:25:48,599
Speaker 14: you're going to play your best on that day and

1689
01:25:48,680 --> 01:25:50,360
Speaker 14: if they do, no one can't beat them.

1690
01:25:50,400 --> 01:25:50,720
Speaker 3: You know what?

1691
01:25:50,880 --> 01:25:53,120
Speaker 14: That knowledge goes for any tea if you ask me.

1692
01:25:53,560 --> 01:25:55,639
Speaker 14: But I don't think he's a players. I think it's

1693
01:25:55,680 --> 01:26:00,000
Speaker 14: coming down on McDermand So look at his record playoffs

1694
01:26:00,240 --> 01:26:02,720
Speaker 14: is I don't know if he gets nervous or he

1695
01:26:02,800 --> 01:26:07,000
Speaker 14: gets his mentality, but he can He has not beaten

1696
01:26:07,120 --> 01:26:09,439
Speaker 14: a good team on the road or even at home.

1697
01:26:10,000 --> 01:26:11,960
Speaker 14: That to me is kind of the players. It's from

1698
01:26:12,080 --> 01:26:14,439
Speaker 14: starts from McDermott and that goes all the way down

1699
01:26:14,479 --> 01:26:14,880
Speaker 14: to the player.

1700
01:26:14,880 --> 01:26:17,040
Speaker 3: If he asked me, and that's my thoughts.

1701
01:26:17,600 --> 01:26:18,599
Speaker 1: Okay, thanks Ryan.

1702
01:26:19,000 --> 01:26:22,400
Speaker 2: Well, I know it's a little bit of an oxymoron

1703
01:26:22,479 --> 01:26:24,280
Speaker 2: saying you haven't beat a good team in the playoffs

1704
01:26:24,360 --> 01:26:28,120
Speaker 2: and that's all you meet in the playoffs, you good team,

1705
01:26:28,200 --> 01:26:30,519
Speaker 2: you only play good teams. So yeah, and the fact

1706
01:26:30,560 --> 01:26:32,599
Speaker 2: that he wins a playoff game every year, I think,

1707
01:26:34,200 --> 01:26:40,040
Speaker 2: you know, hop further takes lens less credence to what

1708
01:26:40,120 --> 01:26:42,479
Speaker 2: you said. I mean, I get your point. And in

1709
01:26:42,760 --> 01:26:46,320
Speaker 2: all of these games, every coach's decision is magnified, no

1710
01:26:46,439 --> 01:26:50,880
Speaker 2: question about it. And and mcdermot's had some tough moments,

1711
01:26:51,200 --> 01:26:54,000
Speaker 2: There's no question about it. But I do think this

1712
01:26:54,200 --> 01:26:57,639
Speaker 2: is the kind of atmosphere and maybe he had further

1713
01:26:57,720 --> 01:27:00,240
Speaker 2: to go than others. Maybe he didn't, But I think

1714
01:27:00,280 --> 01:27:01,800
Speaker 2: this is a guy that you can count on that

1715
01:27:01,960 --> 01:27:04,639
Speaker 2: is going to do some self examination in those moments

1716
01:27:05,000 --> 01:27:07,400
Speaker 2: and come out better for it. You can ask, you

1717
01:27:07,439 --> 01:27:08,840
Speaker 2: can throw your hands up and say, well, how long

1718
01:27:08,960 --> 01:27:10,960
Speaker 2: is it gonna take him before he can manage the

1719
01:27:11,160 --> 01:27:15,920
Speaker 2: clock at the end of the game. I still bet

1720
01:27:16,000 --> 01:27:21,680
Speaker 2: on this crew. This is a head coach that I

1721
01:27:21,720 --> 01:27:23,439
Speaker 2: can get behind, and I like where he's at. I

1722
01:27:23,560 --> 01:27:26,000
Speaker 2: like the way he coaches his team. Certainly he's had

1723
01:27:26,040 --> 01:27:27,960
Speaker 2: bad moments at the end of games here and there,

1724
01:27:28,360 --> 01:27:30,519
Speaker 2: but I would also put a lot of that stuff,

1725
01:27:30,680 --> 01:27:32,120
Speaker 2: some of that stuff, not all of it, some of

1726
01:27:32,160 --> 01:27:35,880
Speaker 2: that stuff on his players from time to time. He

1727
01:27:36,040 --> 01:27:39,040
Speaker 2: has got these guys prepared to play extremely well. And

1728
01:27:39,280 --> 01:27:41,920
Speaker 2: we talked about this. Only ten guys on the roster

1729
01:27:43,320 --> 01:27:45,920
Speaker 2: have been a part of all five of these division titles.

1730
01:27:46,520 --> 01:27:49,479
Speaker 2: Sean McDermott has done it with a different roster every year,

1731
01:27:50,080 --> 01:27:52,800
Speaker 2: and some of that speaks to the inexperience of some

1732
01:27:52,840 --> 01:27:54,840
Speaker 2: of these guys when they get in these moments. Not

1733
01:27:55,000 --> 01:27:58,160
Speaker 2: everybody was here for that fourth and twenty three conversion

1734
01:27:58,200 --> 01:28:01,519
Speaker 2: against Minnesota and overtime in this building. You know, not

1735
01:28:01,600 --> 01:28:04,120
Speaker 2: everybody was here for the hail Murray. You know, not

1736
01:28:04,280 --> 01:28:07,280
Speaker 2: everybody was here for the thirteen second game. Not everybody

1737
01:28:07,360 --> 01:28:09,080
Speaker 2: was here for any of that stuff. So they He's

1738
01:28:09,120 --> 01:28:10,519
Speaker 2: got to make sure all those guys are up to

1739
01:28:10,600 --> 01:28:12,160
Speaker 2: snuff at the end of games, and sometimes they're not

1740
01:28:13,160 --> 01:28:15,880
Speaker 2: because you can't simulate everything. There's too many moving parts

1741
01:28:15,920 --> 01:28:17,840
Speaker 2: at the end of these games. No two games are

1742
01:28:17,920 --> 01:28:20,439
Speaker 2: alike at the end of it. The timeouts are different,

1743
01:28:20,520 --> 01:28:22,680
Speaker 2: the number of plays are different, the way the game

1744
01:28:22,720 --> 01:28:25,080
Speaker 2: is played out up to that point is different. So

1745
01:28:25,520 --> 01:28:29,439
Speaker 2: it's a you're right, it comes down to a guy

1746
01:28:29,479 --> 01:28:31,000
Speaker 2: who has been there, and I would bet on a

1747
01:28:31,080 --> 01:28:32,840
Speaker 2: guy The guys who have been even if they haven't

1748
01:28:32,840 --> 01:28:35,760
Speaker 2: been successful. I would bet on those guys down the

1749
01:28:35,840 --> 01:28:38,839
Speaker 2: line because they've been in these moments and learn some lessons,

1750
01:28:39,040 --> 01:28:39,719
Speaker 2: hard lessons.

1751
01:28:39,920 --> 01:28:42,000
Speaker 1: Gotta take a break. We'll be back in a second

1752
01:28:42,040 --> 01:28:56,840
Speaker 1: here on One Bill's Lives. Stay with us, back here

1753
01:28:56,880 --> 01:28:59,400
Speaker 1: on One Bill's Live. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker. Not enough

1754
01:28:59,479 --> 01:29:01,640
Speaker 1: time left to take any more phone calls. Here's a

1755
01:29:01,680 --> 01:29:03,519
Speaker 1: couple of tweets from the tweet sheet brought to you

1756
01:29:03,560 --> 01:29:06,120
Speaker 1: by Corgan Moving Systems, official equipment moving company of the

1757
01:29:06,160 --> 01:29:08,599
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills AFC is wrapped up. What do you need

1758
01:29:08,640 --> 01:29:10,519
Speaker 1: to see from the Bills on the field, Julio says,

1759
01:29:10,560 --> 01:29:12,840
Speaker 1: to be honest, I need to see more passing yards

1760
01:29:12,880 --> 01:29:15,880
Speaker 1: and plays by non Shakir wide receivers. Need to get

1761
01:29:15,920 --> 01:29:17,800
Speaker 1: them all healthy and in a groove for the stretch run.

1762
01:29:18,080 --> 01:29:20,120
Speaker 1: Our running backs are solid. Just need to fine tune

1763
01:29:20,160 --> 01:29:23,439
Speaker 1: the passing game, fine tuning with people getting back right.

1764
01:29:23,560 --> 01:29:25,680
Speaker 1: Maybe key on this week, maybe Kin Kayden. A week

1765
01:29:25,760 --> 01:29:26,040
Speaker 1: or so.

1766
01:29:26,120 --> 01:29:28,000
Speaker 2: We say, five games is a ton of time to

1767
01:29:28,080 --> 01:29:29,840
Speaker 2: do it. I mean, I got plenty of time to

1768
01:29:29,880 --> 01:29:30,080
Speaker 2: do it.

1769
01:29:30,280 --> 01:29:32,439
Speaker 1: Yep. That's it for us today. We'll see you tomorrow

1770
01:29:32,479 --> 01:29:34,679
Speaker 1: at one everybody, thanks for listening. We'll catch you tomorrow.
