00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:35,200
Speaker 1: This this One Bill's Live, presented by Kalida Health.

2
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 2: All right, here we are on a Thursday, Chris Brown,

3
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 2: Steve Tasker, One Bill's Live. Thanks for making us a

4
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 2: part of your afternoon. As the Bills are back on

5
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 2: back on the pack. Let me try that again.

6
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 3: Go ahead.

7
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 2: Bills are back on the practice field. Holy crow, the

8
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 2: heck happened there? It's like a glitch with my tongues.

9
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 2: Bills are back on the practice field today. They are inside.

10
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 2: I am presuming Steve, they're going to go outside tomorrow

11
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 2: in the stadium just to get acclimated to the conditions

12
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 2: that they're likely to experience on Sunday. You don't think so.

13
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,199
Speaker 3: They could. I mean, yesterday it was a little too.

14
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 2: Windy to get anything done outside. So you understand that decision.

15
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: I'll say this, here's my take on the weather stuff

16
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,400
Speaker 1: and the cold weather. And people in Buffalo know this.

17
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 3: You live in it.

18
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 2: It's not a shock and they played in it last

19
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 2: week in New England.

20
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: You live your life. You go and you play, and

21
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 1: you go out and you're not you know what's coming.

22
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: You know when you go out the door, it's going

23
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 1: to feel like you got an idea of what you

24
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: should wear you. I think it's more important to practice

25
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: at a high level, really productive, instead of going outside

26
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: and fighting the same and going through the same problems

27
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 1: that keep you from practicing well. They're going to keep

28
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: you from playing well. If you don't practice well, you

29
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: don't play well. And if you go out in the elements,

30
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: you don't practice well, you may not play well. Even

31
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: if it's practicing the elements, you know what I'm saying.

32
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 1: If you're the home team and you live in the

33
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 1: creuddy weather, you don't need to practice in it to

34
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: get used to it. You kind of get it. It

35
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 1: becomes part of you. And these guys have I mean,

36
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 1: they've been living in it for months now. So I'm

37
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 1: I'd rather see him practice at a high level inside,

38
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: get it done, know what it's going to look like,

39
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 1: and then deal with the weather that they live in,

40
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:36,799
Speaker 1: then go outside struggle to get anything done. I mean, yeah,

41
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 1: good practice is always better than bad practice, right And yeah,

42
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 1: So that's my that's my take, your two cents, that's

43
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 1: get it.

44
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 2: Got plenty to get to today. Also have a good

45
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 2: guest lineup, as we always do. And wanted to get

46
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 2: right to this right away. As we know this week's

47
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,000

Speaker 2: to get to this week's legend of the game. When

51
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:14,240

57

00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 2: them towards the tail end of his career, but he

79
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 2: basically did it his entire twelve years here in Buffalo.

Speaker 2: He's a big time duck hunter, likes he lives, still

95
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 2: lives down on the Bayou. Last I checked, I think

96
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 2: he was doing a little high school coaching. A lot

97
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 2: of his kids have got to be old now, like teenagers.

98
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 3: Well yeah, I don't know how old is.

99
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: Well, the two boys in the in the they'd be

100
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 1: like eight, yeah, they got to be like early mid teens, yeah, fourteen, thirteen, fifteen.

101
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 3: That's eight years ago. Yeah, and they were like five

102
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 3: seasons yeah, early teens.

103
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 2: Yeah. And he's got daughters that are even older than them,

104
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,479
Speaker 2: I think, right. So, so he's in the thick of

105
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 2: it now. I mean, you know how that is. You

106
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 2: had five, he's got five.

107
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 3: Neck deep and busy.

108
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 2: Yeah.

109
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 3: Yeah.

00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 2: So be good to catch up with Kyle as he

111
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 2: comes back to Buffalo for this weekend's game as legend

112
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 2: of the game. Really really really cool. Fired up for that. Uh,

113
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 2: let's get to Bill's practice updates by leecom your Lake

114
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 2: Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine and Steve and I fortunate

115
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 2: enough to catch the media viewing portion of practice and

116
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 2: the good news is we saw Brandon Codrington out there

117
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 2: with a helmet and it looks like he will be

118
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 2: participating in some capacity today. We'll wait for the Thursday

119
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 2: injury report to come back and see what that says.

120
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 2: He did not practice yesterday because he came out of

121
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 2: a New England game with a hamstring injury. But he's

122
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 2: out there participating, so we'll see what they say on

123
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 2: the Thursday injury report for an official participation level. Did

124
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 2: not spot JaMarcus Ingram out there, as we know. He

125
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 2: was excused from practice yesterday to tend to a personal

126
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 2: family matter. I didn't see him out there during the

127
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 2: media viewing portion. We'll have to see if that in

128
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 2: fact he is here because we only get a small

129
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:55,720
Speaker 2: snippet of practice that.

130
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 3: We get to view.

131
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 2: So hopefully he'll be back sooner rather than later, if

132
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:03,280
Speaker 2: not today, by tomorrow. But again we'll get that update

133
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 2: from the official practice report as well. I was happy

134
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 2: to see Mark Cooper back from his personal commitment that

135
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 2: kept him out of last week's game. I don't know

136
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 2: that he would have played in last week's game anyway, right,

137
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 2: but glad he's back in the full getting reps so

138
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 2: that's good Broncos. I don't know if you took a

139
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 2: look at the Broncos' injury report yet, Steve, it's pretty

140
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 2: clean for them too. Backup offensive tackle Frank Crumb only

141
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:34,559
Speaker 2: player who did not practice Wednesday for them. Starting guard

142
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 2: Ben Powers limited got a veteran rest day, and backup

143
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 2: corner to Mary Mathis was limited with a back injury.

144
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 2: Everybody else is in pretty good shape for the Broncos,

145
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 2: who did kind of have to play last week winning

146
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 2: in But once that game got out of hand, Sean

147
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 2: Payton started pulling starters out of that line up. Two right,

148
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 2: So his guys only played about two and a half,

149
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 2: three quarters.

150
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, thirty eight nothing. It was done on them, and

151
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: it's not like this Chiefs, We're gonna throw Pat Mahomes in.

152
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 1: He said, go win it for us, you know, yeah,

153
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: and they were done.

154
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 2: Josh Allen named one of the finalists for the FedEx

155
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 2: Air and Ground Players of the Year. Other nominees Joe Burrow,

156
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson, Saquon Barkley, Jamar Chase, and Jamiir Gibbs. Not

157
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 2: surprised to see him on that list. I think he

158
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 2: won that award two or three times this year, so

159
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 2: no shocker there. And there was also this story Steve

160
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 2: put together by the Athletics Austin Mack, who, through analytic calculation,

161
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 2: determined which head coaches gave their teams the greatest edge

162
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:48,319
Speaker 2: this season with their fourth down decisions, and coach McDermott

163
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 2: finished in the top spot. He just edged out Retroit's

164
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 2: Dan Campbell for the top spot on the list. What

165
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 2: put him over the top, they determined he made the

166
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 2: right call in four of the five fourth down situations

167
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 2: in Week eighteen against New England, So in a throwaway game,

168
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 2: he made the right decision on four of the five

169
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 2: fourth down decisions according to their analytics model. Here's a

170
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:18,679
Speaker 2: good one fourth and two at the I don't know

171
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 2: if you heard of twenty six against the Chiefs. RMSC

172
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 2: viewers are watching.

173
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: Up by four or something like that, yeah, up by yeah,

174
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: something like yeah, and then he takes it in. That

175
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: was a nice full fourth down call right there.

176
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 2: So on fourteen decisions on whether or not to go

177
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 2: for it this season, coach McDermott gave the green light

178
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 2: eleven times, and eleven out of those fourteen times he

179
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 2: was correct. He had eleven correct decisions out of fourteen,

180
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 2: and it gave his team a twenty five and a

181
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 2: half percent better chance of winning the football game by

182
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 2: doing so. So Dan Campbell right behind him at twenty four

183
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 2: point seven percent the edge he gave his team to

184
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 2: win football games. Washington head coach Dan Quinn third nineteen

185
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 2: point two percent, and then Tampa's Todd Bowles was fourth

186
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 2: sixteen point two percent. It drops off precipitously after that,

187
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 2: and the coaches at the bottom Baltimore's John Harbaugh really

188
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 2: and LA Chargers Jim Harbaugh.

189
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,319
Speaker 1: Okay, I was this is there's a punch line in

190
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 1: there somewhere. I'm not who's right ahead.

191
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 2: Of them barely? Sean Payton. Oh really, he gets all

192
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 2: this credit for being this aggressive head coach because of

193
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 2: what he did in the Super Bowl. Yeah, minus twenty

194
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 2: two point three percent.

195
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,079
Speaker 3: Now, yeah, he's got a rookie quarterback.

196
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 2: I was going to say, part of it is going

197
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 2: to be great young team that he has.

198
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 3: He's got a great defense.

199
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 2: He's got a defense that can stop people. So you

200
00:10:58,240 --> 00:10:59,559
Speaker 2: got to take it with a grain of salt.

201
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 3: It seems smart to me.

202
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 2: Got to know who you have, what kind of team

203
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 2: do you have, you know, you have a team that

204
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 2: can get yards on offense like nobody's business. Well, then

205
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 2: if you're Sean McDermot and Dan Campbell, you feel pretty

206
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 2: good about going for it because you got Sherman tanks

207
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,079
Speaker 2: for offenses like stopping them, right, you know what I mean?

208
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:25,679
Speaker 1: They the Chargers almost never take a bad play. They're

209
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 1: always getting positive yards and that you know, keeps them

210
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:33,439
Speaker 1: on schedule and they just grind it out. Interesting though,

211
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 1: that when you got a team like that that you

212
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 1: don't like you don't get enough fourth and really shorts

213
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 1: to like go for it. Yeah, now maybe he does,

214
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 1: and maybe he doesn't get credit for it. I don't know,

215
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: because it's fourth and inches in their end. You think, okay,

216
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: we'll go for it here. But those are the easy ones.

217
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 3: Yeah.

218
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 2: But you know, just like coach McDermott says all the time,

219
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 2: you know, daily self improvement is kind of the mantra

220
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 2: around here, like try to make yourself one percent better

221
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 2: tomorrow and the next day and the next day. He

222
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 2: practices what he preaches like he was pretty good at

223
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 2: this already, right, and then you know has expanded his

224
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 2: analytics team to give him, you know, live information during games.

225
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 2: I mean, he was doing that six years ago, right,

226
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 2: and he's expanded that so and you know, he's he's

227
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 2: been criticized for not getting a lot of challenges, Right,

228
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:29,679
Speaker 2: what does he do first coach in the league that

229
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 2: hires a former official to assist with that? Like, guys

230
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 2: always trying to get better and hopefully it pays dividends

231
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 2: here in the postseason.

232
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:40,439
Speaker 3: So it was good to see that.

233
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,439
Speaker 2: It's nice to see coach get a little credit for

234
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:46,199
Speaker 2: being as good as he's been in fourth down decision making.

235
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 2: So I thought we should.

236
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 3: Bring that one to light.

237
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 2: So that's on the docket and wanted to pass that

238
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 2: along to everybody. Should we go around the NFL? I

239
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 2: think we should.

240
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 1: I just yeah, something came over the timeline just a

241
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: second ago that John John Harball, head coach of the Ravens,

242
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 1: which that's that team out there that Bills fans are

243
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 1: kind of dreading. Uh, Zay Flowers is not going to

244
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 1: play this weekend for them.

245
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 2: That doesn't shock me. I think they feel they can

246
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 2: beat the Steelers without.

247
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 3: Right, yeah, but man, oh man playoff game.

248
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 2: I think they feel they can beat the S and

249
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 2: they should. Steelers have lost four in a row. They

250
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 2: are thrilling right now. The offense is a mess.

251
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, they they have, as I've been using this word

252
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 1: all week, they've withered down the stretch.

253
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 2: That's why you gotta pull the trigger and get justin

254
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 2: fields out there.

255
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 4: Throw them some curveballs, wouldn't do you remember the old

256
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 4: days of slash Cordell Stewart, give him a package he plays,

257
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 4: man go little Cortell Stewart on them.

258
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 1: That was Bill Cower, I know it wasn't know it

259
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 1: was Bill Coward. I know, yeah, Page he did it

260
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 1: when they were four and two, and he pulled this,

261
00:13:58,160 --> 00:13:59,679
Speaker 1: pulled the plug, I know.

262
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 2: And at that time that was the right decision, yes,

263
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 2: but he this might be another Nobody believed.

264
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 3: It was the right decision, but he knew it was.

265
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 3: So there you go, and so now it might be

266
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 3: the right decision, right right.

267
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 2: I'm not saying he's got to start him and make him,

268
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 2: you know, wire to wire the starting quarterback.

269
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 3: But I think there's you gotta have somewhere.

270
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 2: You gotta throw something at the ravens end.

271
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 3: You got to put a package together, right, I think

272
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 3: you do. I agree with it. I agree with you.

273
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 1: I agree with you justin field should see some significant

274
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 1: playing time in this game against Baltimore, if for nothing else,

275
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 1: just to give the Ravens problem.

276
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 2: You know what I want to do. I would almost

277
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 2: want to put them both on the field at the

278
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 2: same time. In the red zone. You have Russell back

279
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 2: there in a pistol with fields behind him.

280
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 3: I like that. But what are you gonna do.

281
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 1: What's the play you're gonna run out of that? You're

282
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: gonna hand it to fields and let him get busted.

283
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 3: Up, or throw it.

284
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 2: Pas run, give him a run pass option.

285
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 3: Okay, pitch over there, fake.

286
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 2: The pitch, come back now, come on up, Come on, Steve,

287
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 2: help me out.

288
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 3: Calm down. I get it.

289
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 2: I just want the Ravens to be consumed for at

290
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 2: least a second, right, you know what I mean. I

291
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 2: just want them crossed down.

292
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 1: You need the Ravens to come out and puke on

293
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 1: their shoes, is what you need?

294
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 4: Now?

295
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: Well, and I get it because that listen, that is

296
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: one team that gets Bills fans quiet, the prospect that

297
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 1: faces the last game.

298
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 3: That's right. It's a little reason that what.

299
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 1: Happened earlier in the season, Bills fans go deathly quiet.

300
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 1: When you talk about playing the Ravens against like.

301
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 2: Worry about that when we get there, if we'll worry

302
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 2: about down.

303
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,520

00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 2: point in time. Who are also on the list, Brian Greasy,

317
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 2: head coach of the Judge Jeff Ulbrich. So hold cow

318
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 2: is that a list.

319
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, don't know, it seems lengthy.

320
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 1: You need to be thorough though. Come on, I'll say this,

321
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 1: a lot of people don't know who Darren Rizzy is.

322
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 1: He was the interim head coach of the Saints. Saints

323
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 1: win Special Teams trade, right, he was a special teams coach.

324
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 1: I that guy's a leader, He's a good, good coach.

325
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:04,360
Speaker 1: There's a reason they elevated him when they let their

326
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 1: head coach Dennis Allen go, and uh, you know, they

327
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 1: didn't have the season they wanted, but that guy has

328
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: is well respected around the league.

329
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 3: He was one of the He was one.

330
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,400
Speaker 1: Of a less than a handful of special teams coaches

331
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 1: that were in on the the the first iteration of

332
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 1: the dynamic kick kickoff rule and probably on this one

333
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,639
Speaker 1: as well. In a small hand handful of guys who

334
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:30,959
Speaker 1: are asked to, you know, be a part of it. So, uh,

335
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,880
Speaker 1: there's and Brian you know, Brian Greasie, former player Olbrick

336
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 1: who is the interim coach. All these guys have a

337
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 1: lot of coaching experience behind him, except for Josh McCown.

338
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 2: Yes, Josh, he's a former quarterback of the Jets, long

339
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 2: time yeah player in the NFL. A few national reporters

340
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 2: are reporting that sources around the league and with knowledge

341
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,359
Speaker 2: of New England search, consider Mike very able to favor

342
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:58,439
Speaker 2: to land the Patriots job. Surprise, surprise, he's interviewing with

343
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 2: New England today. There is another connected to Vrabel and

344
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 2: his potential hiring. There seems to be some traction that

345
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 2: Vrabel would want to bring Josh McDaniels with him to

346
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:12,639
Speaker 2: New England as offensive coordinator. That would be McDaniel's third

347
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:19,119
Speaker 2: stint as Patriots OC. He was Patriots OC, went to

348
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 2: Denver as head coach, fired, came back as Patriots OC,

349
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 2: went to become head coach of the Raiders, fired, and

350
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:32,640
Speaker 2: now maybe a third go round. Yeah, has been requested

351
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 2: for interview in other places.

352
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't have any doubt in my mind that

353
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:40,879
Speaker 1: Mike Vrabel's going to be a head coach in the

354
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 1: NFL this next year.

355
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 3: I don't know who it's going to.

356
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 1: Be for problem, It could be Patriots. It seems like

357
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 1: a logical fit. Certainly, he would have the chops in

358
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:53,680
Speaker 1: the organization with the way he played for them and

359
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: his pedigree since leaving the organization, that seems like a

360
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 1: natural fit. But he's I think he's gonna have options.

361
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 2: Yes, question is which one looks most attractive.

362
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean.

363
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 2: He knows that organization probably better than maybe a couple

364
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 2: of the others. I can't believe.

365
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 1: I can't believe Tom Brady wouldn't be banging his door

366
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 1: down to get him to the Raiders.

367
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's another potential destination.

368
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:28,640
Speaker 3: Yeah.

369
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:35,199
Speaker 2: Rams Senior personal Executive Ray Farmer for GM in Jets'

370
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 2: land as well, so he's set to interview there. He's

371
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 2: a former Browns GM, current senior personnel executive with the Rams.

372
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,120
Speaker 2: Ray Farmer was the GM of the Browns that orchestrated

373
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,879
Speaker 2: the trade with the Bills for Sammy Watkins in that

374
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 2: twenty fourteen draft.

375
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 3: He's experienced.

376
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 2: Yes, Jaguars requested an interview with Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve

377
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:59,679
Speaker 2: Spagnolo as well for their head coaching vacancy. As I

378
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 2: told you, Jus Bagnolo already had requests from the Jets

379
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 2: also the Raiders, and they made a request the Jaguars

380
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 2: did to interview Vikings d C Brian Flores. Seahawks, meanwhile,

381
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 2: are looking for an offensive coordinator after firing their OC

382
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 2: after just one year, going to interview Lions offensive line

383
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 2: coach Hank Freeley. He was a big part of like

384
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 2: their run game design in Detroit, so he's kind of

385
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 2: seen as an OC candidate. They're also going to interview

386
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 2: Bears interim head coach Thomas Brown for their OC job.

387
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,679
Speaker 2: Colts have begun their defensive coordinator search. Former Bengals d

388
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:40,560

Speaker 2: longtime NFL coach Steve Wilkes, who actually coached with coach

Speaker 2: McDermott down in Carolina. Was a head coach for one

391
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 2: year in Arizona, so he's on their list to interview.

00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 3: And we're almost through it.

399
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:21,399
Speaker 2: It's crazy. Commander's OC Cliff Kingsbury requests from the Bears

400
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:25,880
Speaker 2: and Saints for their head coaching job. People are speculating

401
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 2: that he would prefer the Chicago job to be reunited

402
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:31,919
Speaker 2: with Caleb Williams, who he coached as the oc at

403

Speaker 2: finished their head coaching interview with Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony

Speaker 2: Weaver earlier today, and then the line of the day

406
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:47,879
Speaker 2: Steve coming from Falcons GM Terry Fontineau, who in his

407
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 2: season rap up press conference, when asked about Kirk Cousin's

408
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 2: future with the club, said quote, we're comfortable moving forward

409
00:21:56,200 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 2: with him as the backup, which prompts this question for you, Steve,

410
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:04,879
Speaker 2: when was the last time you saw an NFL team

411
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 2: pay a backup quarterback thirty seven and a half million dollars?

412
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:11,679
Speaker 2: Because that's what Cousins is set to make next season.

413
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,440
Speaker 1: They are, well, here's what they're saying. They're they're saying

414
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 1: that for Kirk, So they like him, they want him

415
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:21,640
Speaker 1: to come back, all of that stuff. But they also

416
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 1: in the same interview know and it was asked and

417
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 1: they made it known that yeah, I mean, certainly he's

418
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:30,880
Speaker 1: a good quarterback and somebody he could help somebody win.

419
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:33,919
Speaker 1: We're moving in a different direction, but we'll listen to

420
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 1: trade offers. So you can bet that if there's a team

421
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 1: out there, I mean you can think of him as

422
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:45,400
Speaker 1: you go down the list, the Raiders would.

423
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 3: Be one of them who would trade for the guy.

424
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 2: Or even any team that might draft a quarterback and

425
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:54,680
Speaker 2: just need a one year placeholder.

426
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:55,120
Speaker 3: That's right.

427
00:22:55,720 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, so and think, yeah, so, I hate say it

428
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,399
Speaker 1: like this, but he go back to Minnesota if they

429
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,639
Speaker 1: can't sign Sam Darnold and JJ McCarthy's not ready, or

430
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 1: if he could, he could do the same thing in

431
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:11,439
Speaker 1: Minnesota that the Atlanta wants him to do. Just mentor

432
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 1: the guy. You know, everybody knows what kind of guy.

433
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:16,160
Speaker 1: He is, a tremendous human being, the assault of the earth,

434
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: and he's he'll mentor a.

435
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 3: Guy, help a guy.

436
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:20,919
Speaker 1: He'll do what Alex Smith did for Pat mahomes right,

437
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 1: Just help the guy along, help get him started successfully.

438
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 1: So there'd be some teams interested, particularly knowing that if

439
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:31,439
Speaker 1: you do have to plug him in, he's he's not

440
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:37,200
Speaker 1: going to lose the game. So yeah, they while they

441
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 1: are thirty seven point five million for a backup quarterback pricey.

442
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 2: I mean, they have another the starters on a rookie salary.

443
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:47,639
Speaker 3: So you can just flip this. Yeah, you flip them

444
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:48,479
Speaker 3: a root of the contract.

445
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:50,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, you flip the numbers around if you want to know,

446
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 1: if you want to average it out, and that's what

447
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:55,639
Speaker 1: they're paying for. The position anyway, completely messes up the

448
00:23:55,720 --> 00:24:00,919
Speaker 1: value scale, right, But still there are teams out there

449
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 1: who would benefit from him, and and and he's gonna

450
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 1: help He's gonna help Pennix if he does get in

451
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:14,679
Speaker 1: his Yeah, Penix, he'll help the guy. So I'm you know,

452
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:20,640
Speaker 1: they're right, they're handling that the right way. You gotta

453
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 1: have somebody back there.

454
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:25,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, It'll be interesting to see how that plays out.

455
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 2: I would tend to think the Falcons are looking to

456
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:29,439
Speaker 2: move him, but they're just not in a position to

457
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:31,640
Speaker 2: do anything like that right now. So this is kind

458
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:33,679
Speaker 2: of what Terry Fontina has to say, but it was

459
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 2: it's kind of funny anyway. Thirty seven and a half

460
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:41,200
Speaker 2: million dollar backup quarterback. Hello, how does Arthur Blank feel

461
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 2: about that? You think Arthur walked down the walk down

462
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:49,400
Speaker 2: the hall after that press conference and said, Terry, are

463
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:51,639
Speaker 2: we really are we really doing that? We're not doing that?

464
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 5: Right?

465
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 2: You just had to say that, Yes, he's going Arthur

466
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 2: Blank is a very excrete businessman.

467
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 1: But you know that we'll trade him for a bag

468
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:02,879
Speaker 1: of footballs to get out from underneath thirty seven point five. Yeah,

469
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 1: I mean trade us, will trade you to Yes, we'll

470
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 1: trade him to you el Las Vegas for future considerations.

471
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 1: Just think nice of us at Christmas time. Yeah right,

472
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:18,159
Speaker 1: I mean that's what they'll trade him for when the

473
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,199
Speaker 1: Raiders pick up the money and here we go, there

474
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 1: we go, all.

475
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 3: Right, So that's around.

476
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 2: The NFL want to remind you the Football Relationship Hotline,

00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 2: So you got to hang up this weekend that's potentially

482
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,400
Speaker 2: keeping you from watching the wildcard playoff game.

483
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:48,879
Speaker 3: Let us know what it is.

486
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,880
Speaker 2: get you the topic of discussion today, which is as follows,

487
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 2: what part of the Bills performance Sunday We'll get them

488
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 2: a victory over the Broncos. You tell us at eight

489
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:08,479
Speaker 2: h three oh five point fifty one, eight and eight

490
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 2: five fifty two five fifty, that's then I'm gonna jump

491
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 2: on board and we got open lines for you right now.

492
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 2: Can't give us a call, that's okay, you can hit

493
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 2: us up on the tweets sheet at one Bill's Live.

494
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 2: What part of the Bills performance Sunday will get them

495
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:26,440
Speaker 2: a victory over the Broncos. Any any initial thoughts, Steve on.

496
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 3: That, Well, they've got to do exactly what they've done

497
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:32,440
Speaker 3: all year. Let's protect the football.

498
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 1: If you trade possessions with the Denver offense one for one,

499
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 1: you should win this game. You should be able to

500
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 1: score more points than they do at the end of

501
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 1: even if it's a twenty to twenty to seventeen game.

502
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 3: Mistakes cost you.

503
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,679
Speaker 1: But when it's all said and done, if you have

504
00:26:55,720 --> 00:27:00,159
Speaker 1: a positive turnover or an even turnover with this team,

505
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 1: they're gonna have a hard time beating you. They've got

506
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:06,919
Speaker 1: to make some plays in your building, in this building,

507
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,679
Speaker 1: with this team as good as the Bills are in

508
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:11,359
Speaker 1: this offense, they're gonna have to keep up with them

509
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 1: on the scoreboard.

510
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 3: And I don't know that they'll be able to do

511
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,440
Speaker 3: it without extra extra possessions.

512
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:20,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I want to see that defense do what they've

513
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,359
Speaker 2: done all season, short in the game by taking the

514
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:26,400
Speaker 2: ball away and give an extra possession to your guy seventeen.

515
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:28,120
Speaker 3: Right.

516
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:31,680
Speaker 2: You know, this is a Bills team that finished second

517
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 2: in the league in total takeaways. Now we should mention

518
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 2: Denver wasn't that far behind. Buffalo had thirty two on

519
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 2: the season, good for second in the league, and Denver

520
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 2: had twenty five. So I think they were fifth or

521
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 2: sixth in the league and total take.

522
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 3: That's what good defense does for you.

523
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 6: Man.

524
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 2: Their problem was they just turned it over a little

525
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:52,160
Speaker 2: bit more than the Bills did. And with a rookie quarterback,

526
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,639
Speaker 2: you would kind of understand that he had twelve picks

527
00:27:54,640 --> 00:28:01,640
Speaker 2: this year, which is double what Josh had. That's why

528
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 2: their turnover margin wasn't as good as Buffaloes. They were

529
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:06,880
Speaker 2: a plus six the Bills were a plus twenty four

530
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:10,359
Speaker 2: to lead the league. Right, So I'm kind of thinking,

531
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,639
Speaker 2: let's do what we've been doing here. Let's keep getting

532
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,639
Speaker 2: some takeaways, extra possessions for offense, get out in front,

533
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 2: and thanks for coming everybody. We'll see in the divisional round.

534
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:21,399
Speaker 2: That's kind of what I'm hoping for. But let's go

535
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 2: to the phones and we'll lead off with Jerry out

536
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:25,880
Speaker 2: in Kenesius Lake.

537
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 3: How are we doing, Jerry?

538
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 6: I'm doing good.

539
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 7: Chris, how you guys doing?

540
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 2: Mike.

541
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 7: It's a concern guys, and Steve would probably know more

542
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 7: mostly about this because he's special teams kind of player.

543
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 7: But our special teams I don't think they're all that special.

544
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 7: I mean last year they cost us three games. You know,

545
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 7: twelve men on field goal that you know would have

546
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 7: counted obviously if we didn't have twelve men. And that's

547
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 7: just something about the coaching I was I was really

548
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 7: hoping you gave the list of the coaches that were

549
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 7: going to be let go back in January that Smiley's

550
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 7: name was going to be on that list. And you know,

551
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 7: I when's the last time we blocked the punt or kick?

552
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 7: But we have that happened to us periodically, and with

553
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 7: Sean Payton coming into town, it really concerns me. I'm

554
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 7: going to hang up and I just want to hear

555
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 7: what you guys. You have to say.

556
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 1: Bouf Okay, yeah, yeah, it is You're right. It's been

557
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 1: a while I mean the last time. You can think

558
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 1: of the last off the top of my head, because

559
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 1: it's easy to remember the last time the Bills special

560
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 1: teams really did it for the team. Well, you give

561
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 1: Tyler bast the sixty one yard er in Miami, and

562
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 1: you know the two kickoff returns against the Patriots at

563
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 1: the end of the twenty twenty two season, that kind

564
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 1: of stuff. But you're right, the twelve men on the

565
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 1: field against this Denver team was egregious. And I couldn't

566
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 1: tell you when the last time we blought a kick was.

567
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, And the Bills have had a field goal and

568
00:29:56,640 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 2: an extra point blocked this season, right last year's PLAYFFS

569
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh had a kick blocked in the wild card game,

570
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 2: and this year we had two substitution issues, one against

571
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 2: the Rams and then one here at home against New England.

572
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 2: Weren't they supposed to be in defense safe and they

573
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 2: had the remember the or was it the Jets that

574
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 2: ran the unit on there? Who ran the unit on

575
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 2: here at the home game? Was it the Patriots or

576
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 2: the Jets? A couple of weeks ago and the Bills

577
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 2: didn't have defense safe on? They wanted defense safe on.

578
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 3: In the either way.

579
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 2: I with two substitution issues in a month's time this year,

580
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 2: and then unfortunately Brandon Codrington did not get did not

581
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 2: either hear the instructions to field the ball at the

582
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 2: end of the game against the Rams, he let it

583
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 2: bounce in the end zone.

584
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 3: The clock expire.

585
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 2: So there have been hiccups through the course of the

586
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 2: season that you just simply cannot have, especially when the

587
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 2: margins are as thin as they are in the postseason.

588
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 3: That's right, So yeah, it's it's a good call, Jerry.

589
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 1: Right, there have been time and you kind of and

590
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 1: it's always natural that we kind of remember the gaffs

591
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 1: rather than the superlative plays as well. Codrington has been

592
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 1: sensational back there.

593
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 2: I had a seventy five yard return for a touchdown

594
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 2: that could call back on kind of a hokey holding penalty.

595
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 1: So yeah, and Bass and his struggle. Five missed extra points,

596
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 1: five miss field goals, those kind of get mixed up

597
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 1: in the deal with the special teams as well. The

598
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 1: misted kick, the landing short of the landing area last week.

599
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 3: There is a problem.

600
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:39,200
Speaker 1: You know, it's just little stuff like that that is

601
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 1: a drag on your productivity and You're right, you need

602
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 1: to have that buttoned up for games like the ones

603
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 1: you're gonna be playing in the next month.

604
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:48,480
Speaker 2: Now, what I will say is the Bills are at

605
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 2: the top of the league in average drive start, so

606
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 2: they deserve credit for that. That's a special team statistic.

607
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 2: Although lumped into that are the takeaways, which provide short fields,

608
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 2: so that kind of helps with the drive start as well,

609
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 2: so that almost is as much credit to the defense

610
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 2: as it is to the kick return unit. But still

611
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 2: in all you're at the top of the league in

612
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 2: that category. And Codrington has been very good. I think

613
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 2: he's been top ten all year in punt return average.

614
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 2: I believe he's fourth or fifth in the league right now.

615
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 2: That's a plus on the special team side of the ledger.

616
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 2: But they're going against an all pro return man in

617
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:23,960
Speaker 2: Marvin MEM's and Denver, so they're gonna have.

618
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:25,480
Speaker 3: To be buttoned up this week. Got to take a

619
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 3: break here.

620
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:30,960
Speaker 2: When we come back, we're gonna be joined by Tyler Plumbus.

621
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 2: He's a radio host out there in Denver covers the Broncos.

622
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 2: We'll get some updates from him next here on One

623
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 2: Bill's Live, presented by Colida Health. It's Buffalo Bills Radio.

624
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 2: Hey want a chance to dig a field goal at

642
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 2: We want to pivot now and go to a conversation

643
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 2: we had with former NFL offensive tackle, Super Bowl fifty

644
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 2: champion with the Broncos and co host of Columbus Hastings

645
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 2: and dmac on Altitude Sports Radio. It's Tyler Columbus for

646
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 2: the latest on the Denver Broncos. All right, Tyler, I

647
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 2: gotta begin here. It's a formidable defensive front for the

648
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:02,480
Speaker 2: Denver Brows, as you well know, led the league in sacks,

649
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 2: and I know Nick Benito is kind of a chess

650
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:10,839
Speaker 2: piece that you advance Joseph uses in different ways, and

651
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:15,840
Speaker 2: knowing Josh Allen's running exploits when a play breaks down,

652
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:18,800
Speaker 2: and knowing Nick Benito has been used as a spy

653
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:22,120
Speaker 2: at times during the season, Can you weigh that out

654
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 2: for me? Because Benito is such a force as a

655
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 2: pass rusher. If you've just got him spying, you're really

656
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:32,239
Speaker 2: kind of subtracting a valuable piece from what makes this

657
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:34,919
Speaker 2: defense so effective. How do you how does that all

658
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 2: come out in the wash for you?

659
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 3: Sure?

660
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 6: Well? Listen. This Broncos defense over the year is ranked

661
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:47,880
Speaker 6: seventh in overall defense and sits and scoring. However, in

662
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 6: the month of December, this defense fell off the faith

663
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 6: there and they were ranked thirty first out of thirty

664
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:56,799
Speaker 6: two teams in the month of December, so it was

665
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 6: a rough month. They were alt Riley Moss, who has

666
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:02,719
Speaker 6: been a tremendous corner for us in the month of December,

667
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 6: and that really changed things because Denver's defense is super

668
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:11,319
Speaker 6: aggressive for I don't know where it stands today, but

669
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:14,879
Speaker 6: for the majority of the season, nobody was blitzing more

670
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:17,759
Speaker 6: than the Denver Broncos and they run a lot of

671
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 6: man coverage. And I know historically over the years Vance Joseph,

672
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:26,880
Speaker 6: the Broncos defensive coordinator, he has changed what he's done

673
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:30,440
Speaker 6: when he goes up against boble quarterbacks like this. I

674
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 6: know when we faced the Lamar Jackson earlier in the year,

675
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:37,640
Speaker 6: he changed his identity quite a bit, went to board

676
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:42,319
Speaker 6: zone coverage, less band a band less blitz and it

677
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:45,279
Speaker 6: didn't work out very well for the Broncos defense. So

678
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 6: I'll be very curious to see what he does in

679
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:52,959
Speaker 6: this game. My gut says, they got to stay true

680
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 6: to what their identity is. Amanda man team that likes

681
00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:59,320
Speaker 6: to get very aggressive and get after QB. Now you

682
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:01,720
Speaker 6: have thought Nick, and I know I didn't answer that question,

683
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 6: but Nick Benito has just been so tremendous for this

684
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:07,880
Speaker 6: team that I don't think you're going to see Nick

685
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:10,879
Speaker 6: Bondido spying all too much. I mean, maybe maybe you'll

686
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 6: get a few change ups here and there, but this

687
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:17,440
Speaker 6: team for the Broncos has got pass rushers going out

688
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:19,640
Speaker 6: of there, you know what I mean. You got, you

689
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 6: got Nick Bedido, you got Jonathan Cooper, Zach Allen on

690
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 6: the interior has just been an absolute animal, Jonathan Franklin, Myers,

691
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:32,120
Speaker 6: even young guys like Tillman. The pass for USS just

692
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 6: could not be any better for this group, and it's

693
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:38,400
Speaker 6: been quite a luxury to have on this Denver Broncos defense.

694
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:41,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, and as Sean Sean Payton takes over, I mean,

695
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 1: this was I think most people outside of that building

696
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:48,319
Speaker 1: are pretty surprised at how good they have been in

697
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:51,240
Speaker 1: the second year with a rookie quarterback. But Sean Payton

698
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 1: deserves a lot of credit for how bo Nix has

699
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 1: has progressed and his experience and intellect and his ability

700
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:02,440
Speaker 1: to call plays deserves a lot of credit to how

701
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 1: do you think Sean Payton and the offensive side of

702
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 1: the ball approaches this game coming into Buffalo.

703
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, I admittedly was not the world's biggest

704
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:16,160
Speaker 6: fan of bo Knicks when we picked him, and he's

705
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:20,239
Speaker 6: turned me into a believer. I mean, look, is he perfect. No,

706
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:24,440
Speaker 6: he's a rookie and he still makes rookie mistakes. But

707
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:28,279
Speaker 6: Sean Payton has schemed up an offense that allows his

708
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 6: young rookie to have a lot of success. Nobody in

709
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:34,720
Speaker 6: the NFL runs as many bubble screens wide receiver bubble

710
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:38,440
Speaker 6: screens as the Broncos do, which are obviously high conversion throws,

711
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:43,719
Speaker 6: and it keeps his quarterback and in a rhythm. And

712
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:48,120
Speaker 6: the Broncos offense has had spurts where they've looked tremendous

713
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:51,800
Speaker 6: and then then spurts where it's just been mind numbing.

714
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 6: How frustrating it's been. But bo Knicks has been very

715
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:58,760
Speaker 6: consistent outside of a three game stretch where I believe

716
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 6: he had five turnovers and three games he's done a

717
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 6: great job of protecting the football. Now, the question with

718
00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:09,719
Speaker 6: Sean Payton as always, can he stay committed to the run,

719
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:15,719
Speaker 6: because this Broncos team, when they try to run the football,

720
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:19,480
Speaker 6: they're pretty dang good at it. They really are. I mean,

721
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 6: in the last three games, one hundred and ten yards

722
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:23,879
Speaker 6: one hundred and twenty three, one hundred and fifty eight

723
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 6: on the ground, and Sean has literally written it on

724
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 6: his play sheet, on the top of his play sheet,

725
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:32,960
Speaker 6: run the ball, you know, as a reminder to himself.

726
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 6: And I think there's been anything frustrating about watching the

727
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 6: Broncos offense is I do think that Sean Payton has

728
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 6: got so much blind faith in his young quarterback that

729
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 6: he's earned. But it's like, dude, he doesn't have to

730
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:51,879
Speaker 6: be Josh Allen yet. He doesn't have to be Joe

731
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:55,400
Speaker 6: Burrow yet. And there's times that it feels like Sean

732
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 6: Payton already believes that Bo Nick is in the category

733
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:01,240
Speaker 6: of those guys and those of the things the Broncos

734
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 6: fans are always watching out.

735
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:06,440
Speaker 2: For, knowing that the defensive front's also third in the

736
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:12,279
Speaker 2: league against the run. Where have opponents, if at all,

737
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 2: found any measure of success running the ball? I mean,

738
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:18,799
Speaker 2: it seems like going up the middle is probably a

739
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 2: bad idea. Have teams had any success on the edges?

740
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:26,280
Speaker 2: What has worked in maybe the few instances where teams

741
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:27,719
Speaker 2: have tried to run the ball on them?

742
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 6: Well, it seems very situational and depending on the games

743
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:37,799
Speaker 6: on who's been injured and who's not. I've never been

744
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:41,920
Speaker 6: concerned about the rush defense, for the Broncos. You know,

745
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:44,799
Speaker 6: when Riley Moss has been out, we've been exploited in

746
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:48,880
Speaker 6: the air, and that's been the concern for sure. I

747
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:54,760
Speaker 6: believe Buffalo. What's Buffalo's ranking? Then they're top ten rushing attack,

748
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:57,240
Speaker 6: aren't they. I mean they got to be with Josh Allen, right.

749
00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 2: They're around ten to thirteen.

750
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:05,240
Speaker 6: Okay, what what works against the Broncos mobile quarterbacks? That

751
00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:08,759
Speaker 6: that's that's when they struggle on the ground. So it's

752
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:11,520
Speaker 6: it's generally not running backs that hurt them. It's it's

753
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:13,760
Speaker 6: it's the running qbs.

754
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 2: And then taking that a step further, the Bills have

755
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:23,279
Speaker 2: very good pass catching backs and talking to people this week,

756
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:26,839
Speaker 2: they feel like the soft underbelly of Denver's defense are

757
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:31,160
Speaker 2: those inside backers in coverage? First do you agree with that?

758
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:35,160
Speaker 2: And then second, have they been exploited at times in

759
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:36,480
Speaker 2: the passing game this season?

760
00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:39,440
Speaker 6: Yeah, I would at one hundred percent agree with that.

761
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:43,440
Speaker 6: There's very few possessions that we're looking for upgrades on defense.

762
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:45,759
Speaker 6: I mean, we've got a great secondary, we've got a

763
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:50,920
Speaker 6: great defensive line, but inside linebackers has been an issue

764
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:53,600
Speaker 6: for years and years and years here in Denver. Alex

765
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:58,000
Speaker 6: Singleton are are starting inside linebacker went down early in

766
00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:02,719
Speaker 6: the year, and a guy named Justin Surnad stepped up

767
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:05,880
Speaker 6: and filled in. Justin's a guy that's been on this

768
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:10,680
Speaker 6: team for seven or eight years as a special teams players.

769
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 6: Matter of fact, I don't think he had played a

770
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:16,640
Speaker 6: down of defense in the last three seasons, and he's

771
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:20,400
Speaker 6: been our full time starting linebacker ever since Alex Singleton

772
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:23,959
Speaker 6: went down. Now, in the big picture, I'm really proud

773
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:26,000
Speaker 6: of the body of work that Justin Sternad has put

774
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:29,239
Speaker 6: out there, but there has absolutely been a couple of

775
00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:33,200
Speaker 6: games where he's gotten roasted. He's had games where he's

776
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:36,120
Speaker 6: given up one hundred and twenty yards in the air

777
00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:40,440
Speaker 6: over him alone, you know. And so that's another area

778
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:42,719
Speaker 6: that I would expect the Bills to try to exploit.

779
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:47,840
Speaker 6: Cody Barton is the other inside linebacker, and Cody's just

780
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:51,839
Speaker 6: rock solid man. I would have a spot for him

781
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:55,960
Speaker 6: on just about any football team. He's not elite at anything,

782
00:41:56,360 --> 00:41:58,480
Speaker 6: but he's pretty dang good at everything.

783
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:00,480
Speaker 3: Mentioned.

784
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:02,080
Speaker 1: It was a tough month for him this last month

785
00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:05,120
Speaker 1: offensively because of some injuries. How healthy do they expect

786
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:06,600
Speaker 1: to be this weekend?

787
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:10,880
Speaker 6: I think overall this Broncos team is about as healthy

788
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:15,520
Speaker 6: as it gets going into the playoffs. There are hardly

789
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:21,479
Speaker 6: any injuries of real concern coming into the game. I mean,

790
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:23,640
Speaker 6: but usually by the time you get to week fifteen,

791
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:26,920
Speaker 6: week sixteen, you've got an injury report that is seventeen

792
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:30,840
Speaker 6: eighteen players deep. Right, And now that you've got Riley

793
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:35,040
Speaker 6: Moss back and he's only two games back into the rotation.

794
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:39,480
Speaker 6: His first game back was a disaster. He'd been perfect

795
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:42,440
Speaker 6: all season long, and then his first game back he

796
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:47,520
Speaker 6: got roasted by t Higgins. But last week he looked

797
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:51,080
Speaker 6: much more like himself. Injuries is not a concern for

798
00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:52,200
Speaker 6: the football team right now.

799
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:56,200
Speaker 2: Tyler, thanks for the time. We appreciate it. Enjoy the

800
00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:56,880
Speaker 2: game this weekend.

801
00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:59,640
Speaker 6: Man, all right, boy, appreciate having me on.

802
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:03,080
Speaker 2: All right, So that's Tyler Columbus joining us. We have

819

820
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:19,480
Speaker 2: importance of special teams to the overall success of a

821
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:21,080
Speaker 2: football team.

822
00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:24,200
Speaker 3: It's interesting the picture on the screen there is one.

823
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:25,080
Speaker 2: Is that Ray Guy?

824
00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:26,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not Ray Guy.

825
00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:27,840
Speaker 2: Jeff Gossip.

826
00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:32,480
Speaker 1: It's Jeff Gossip. It's really good punter. I got in

827
00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:35,560
Speaker 1: This was in a nineteen ninety game where the Raiders

828
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:38,640
Speaker 1: were lumping us up pretty good. Earlier in the game,

829
00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:45,960
Speaker 1: I tackled Tim Brown and forced to fumbles led to

830
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:48,000
Speaker 1: some points, and then this happened. We were down ten

831
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:54,239
Speaker 1: here and we went up by four or or down

832
00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:55,880
Speaker 1: three here went up by four.

833
00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:58,160
Speaker 3: And then.

834
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:02,719
Speaker 1: We went on to Nate Clemp Nate Odoms intercepted to

835
00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:04,600
Speaker 1: pass down the sidelines and took it in. We ended

836
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:07,840
Speaker 1: up winning by two touchdowns in a game where we

837
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:08,880
Speaker 1: had no business winning.

838
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:11,640
Speaker 3: It looked like right that play.

839
00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:15,760
Speaker 1: We had worked on it, and Bruce de Haven, a

840
00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:18,160
Speaker 1: special teams coach at the time, good friend of mine,

841
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:21,680
Speaker 1: God rest his soul. We had worked long and hard

842
00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:26,320
Speaker 1: to get that right. And their long snapper Dan Turk,

843
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:30,759
Speaker 1: on the punt before this, had quick snapped the ball.

844
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:32,960
Speaker 1: I didn't get a chance to get set, and I

845
00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:35,279
Speaker 1: was ticked at him. So I went out there, and

846
00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:38,560
Speaker 1: if you watch the entire whole thing, I'm out there

847
00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:41,440
Speaker 1: lined up on the ball before anybody else, before they

848
00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:44,400
Speaker 1: even because I knew he was doing that, you know,

849
00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:47,880
Speaker 1: to not get a jump. They were unsound on the outside.

850
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:50,520
Speaker 1: And what we had is John Hagen, a teammate of mine,

851
00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:56,480
Speaker 1: went early, deliberately like jumped to give them the idea

852
00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:58,080
Speaker 1: that he was going to do an X stunt with

853
00:45:58,160 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 1: the guy inside of him, which meant that the guy

854
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:02,520
Speaker 1: that was I was over had to go down to

855
00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:02,960
Speaker 1: get him.

856
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:04,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, because he worked inside out right.

857
00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:06,560
Speaker 1: Right, he had to go down inside to get him.

858
00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:09,359
Speaker 1: So when they snapped the ball, sure enough, Haiggs had

859
00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:10,960
Speaker 1: fooled him, and the guy went down to get him,

860
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:13,640
Speaker 1: and I went right through where he was and Jeff

861
00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:15,759
Speaker 1: Gossa got the punt off in one point three.

862
00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:19,719
Speaker 3: I mean it really fast, and.

863
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:23,080
Speaker 1: I got it and asked I got it anyway, and

864
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:24,960
Speaker 1: it led to you know, we obviously went in and

865
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:27,080
Speaker 1: that was, you know, that kind of those. That was

866
00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:30,480
Speaker 1: the week after we had scored three touchdowns in seventy

867
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:33,120
Speaker 1: seven seconds, also on a special team. It was keyed

868
00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:36,000
Speaker 1: by a special teams played by Cornelius Bennett where Nate

869
00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:38,680
Speaker 1: Odoms had blocked a field goal by the Denver Broncos

870
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:43,319
Speaker 1: and Biscuit ran it the rest of the way turned

871
00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:47,120
Speaker 1: that game around. Helped turn that game around. Other plays

872
00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:50,759
Speaker 1: during that stretch were the first home playoff game in

873
00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:55,440
Speaker 1: this stadium's history. The Houston Oilers and Warren Moon came

874
00:46:55,480 --> 00:47:01,279
Speaker 1: into town wild card weekend and we had it was

875
00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:05,120
Speaker 1: seventeen to three. This is eighty eight, eighty eight, and

876
00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:07,919
Speaker 1: they were coming and Warren got hot, and they had

877
00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:09,680
Speaker 1: a lot and they had a handful of Hall of

878
00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:14,319
Speaker 1: Fame players on that team. Oh yeah, Warren got hot

879
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:16,319
Speaker 1: at the end right they started turning it up, and

880
00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:18,360
Speaker 1: they had not gone fully to the run and shoot

881
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:20,560
Speaker 1: at that time, and he got hot and they went

882
00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:22,840
Speaker 1: pink bink, bink bink, you know, plinkty.

883
00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:24,320
Speaker 3: Plink plink, Dan Blue down the field.

884
00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:27,480
Speaker 1: And now it's seventeen to ten and we go back

885
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:31,240
Speaker 1: out and Jim and we didn't get a first down

886
00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:34,680
Speaker 1: and we're went a punnet to him just outside the

887
00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:39,520
Speaker 1: two minute and all you know, and okay, you know,

888
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:42,640
Speaker 1: we're starting to tighten up a little bit. And of course,

889
00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:47,560
Speaker 1: you know, Chris Moore, no John Kid punts it and

890
00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:50,080
Speaker 1: I went down and Curtis Duncan, the return man for

891
00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:52,160
Speaker 1: the Oilers, was.

892
00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:54,560
Speaker 3: A coin of teammate of mine. Great. He's a great

893
00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:55,960
Speaker 3: human being, he really was.

894
00:47:56,560 --> 00:48:00,279
Speaker 1: But I got pushed past him, came back and forced

895
00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:02,239
Speaker 1: a fumble which we recovered a nice the game, came

896
00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:04,120
Speaker 1: back behind him and I got it. I went past

897
00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:07,040
Speaker 1: him on the first time. He made me, He made

898
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:10,400
Speaker 1: me miss. I got up, came back after him and

899
00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:11,759
Speaker 1: he you know, I was buying him, so he didn't

900
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:13,520
Speaker 1: think about me anymore. And I came back, got back

901
00:48:13,520 --> 00:48:15,279
Speaker 1: into the play and ripped the ball out we got

902
00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:18,080
Speaker 1: the touch, we got the fumble, and ice the game

903
00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:21,960
Speaker 1: right there. So those plays are a little bit along

904
00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:25,400
Speaker 1: in keeping with today's defense. And for the Buffalo Bills,

905
00:48:25,800 --> 00:48:27,479
Speaker 1: you know, there might have been games where we didn't.

906
00:48:27,880 --> 00:48:31,480
Speaker 1: We made timely plays when the team needed it the most.

907
00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:33,640
Speaker 1: And I'll say this too if you want to talk

908
00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:37,200
Speaker 1: about how important it is in statistics and analytics. It's

909
00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:39,600
Speaker 1: a little probably a little different now with the dynamic kickoff.

910
00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:42,400
Speaker 1: But there's three things about a special team's play that

911
00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:45,080
Speaker 1: make it different. One, it's the only play in football

912
00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:47,040
Speaker 1: where you deliberately give the ball back to your opponent.

913
00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:48,759
Speaker 1: You're punting it to him or kicking it to him

914
00:48:48,880 --> 00:48:53,080
Speaker 1: kicking it off. Two, ninety ninety five percent of fuel

915
00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:56,239
Speaker 1: position is dictated by the kicking game, so that's in

916
00:48:56,560 --> 00:48:58,920
Speaker 1: That is another aspect of it. And then three, of course,

917
00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:01,440
Speaker 1: is when Tyler Bass takes the field, it's a direct

918
00:49:01,440 --> 00:49:04,200
Speaker 1: try for points or to defend a try for points.

919
00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:09,520
Speaker 1: So those three things make the twenty percent of the

920
00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:11,760
Speaker 1: actual number of plays in a game that are special

921
00:49:11,760 --> 00:49:14,960
Speaker 1: teams plays. It weights them so that they're more crucial

922
00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:17,680
Speaker 1: in the moment. So one in every five plays is

923
00:49:17,719 --> 00:49:21,880
Speaker 1: a special team's play. But because of those three aspects,

924
00:49:21,920 --> 00:49:24,120
Speaker 1: they're weighted more heavily in their effect on the game.

925
00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:26,600
Speaker 2: That's why we hear coach McDermott say all the time.

926
00:49:27,239 --> 00:49:30,600
Speaker 2: We hear them talking about the hidden yardage, the yardage

927
00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:35,080
Speaker 2: that people don't notice that is acquired or given to

928
00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:37,000
Speaker 2: the opponent on a special team.

929
00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:40,000
Speaker 1: A good punt return is a nice little ten yard return.

930
00:49:40,040 --> 00:49:41,040
Speaker 1: You get a first down back.

931
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:42,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's one less first down you need to get

932
00:49:42,920 --> 00:49:43,400
Speaker 2: into scoring.

933
00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:46,279
Speaker 1: Believe me, When you're punting the football as a team,

934
00:49:46,320 --> 00:49:48,440
Speaker 1: your team's backed up and you're, oh my gosh, it's

935
00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:51,439
Speaker 1: too bad. The idea for your team punting the ball

936
00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:55,720
Speaker 1: is for you to get a touchdown. That's the idea.

937
00:49:56,320 --> 00:49:58,560
Speaker 1: Then if it's not a touchdown, at least get the ball.

938
00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:01,040
Speaker 1: If you can't get a touch down or get the ball,

939
00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:04,759
Speaker 1: get as much field position back as you can, right,

940
00:50:04,800 --> 00:50:08,200
Speaker 1: and you go from from there. That's the mindset you

941
00:50:08,239 --> 00:50:10,400
Speaker 1: have as a special teams player. And people are going, well,

942
00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:11,360
Speaker 1: you're trying to get a touchdown.

943
00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:11,880
Speaker 3: You're punting.

944
00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:15,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're trying to get a touchdown, and we're gonna

945
00:50:15,719 --> 00:50:17,080
Speaker 1: get the ball away from them. We're gonna give it

946
00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:18,560
Speaker 1: back to our guys or we're gonna pick it up

947
00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:18,919
Speaker 1: and go.

948
00:50:20,960 --> 00:50:21,399
Speaker 3: Same thing.

949
00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:23,759
Speaker 1: So and it's obviously that way for the for the

950
00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:26,120
Speaker 1: return team, so they want to get a touchdown. So

951
00:50:26,160 --> 00:50:29,120
Speaker 1: it's it's an all or nothing play that's unique to

952
00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:31,960
Speaker 1: the game and it's eh man, I'll tell you when

953
00:50:31,960 --> 00:50:32,600
Speaker 1: it's going good.

954
00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:33,359
Speaker 3: It's a lot of fun.

955
00:50:34,560 --> 00:50:37,319
Speaker 2: All right, that is Excuse me, mister Tasker, you got

956
00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:39,439
Speaker 2: to take a break here. When we come back our

957
00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:43,000
Speaker 2: number two, we'll begin with Bill's team reporter Maddy Clab.

958
00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:45,520
Speaker 2: She's been out of practice the last couple of days.

959
00:50:45,520 --> 00:50:48,600
Speaker 2: We've got some updates there. She was also attending any

960
00:50:48,640 --> 00:50:52,799
Speaker 2: and all media interviews with players. We'll see if she's

961
00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:55,520
Speaker 2: got some of the highlights from those comments from the

962
00:50:55,520 --> 00:50:58,279
Speaker 2: players in advance of this wild Card playoff. When we

963
00:50:58,320 --> 00:51:00,920
Speaker 2: return here on One Bill's Live, Anybody Collide Health, It's

964
00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:42,000
Speaker 2: Buffalo Bill's Radio.

965
00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:50,600
Speaker 1: This this One Bill's Live, presented by Calida Health.

966
00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:54,160
Speaker 2: All right, here we are our number two on a Thursday.

967
00:51:54,160 --> 00:51:56,759
Speaker 2: Week is moving fast. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you

968
00:51:57,280 --> 00:52:00,279
Speaker 2: and joined us joining us in the studio now, team

969
00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:02,759
Speaker 2: reporter Maddy Glab, also co host of Bill's tonight with

970
00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:07,520
Speaker 2: this guy over here. After every Bill's game, we only

971
00:52:07,560 --> 00:52:10,080
Speaker 2: got to watch about thirty seconds of the media viewing

972
00:52:10,120 --> 00:52:11,680
Speaker 2: portion of practice, and we had to come in here

973
00:52:11,680 --> 00:52:13,440
Speaker 2: and do a show that you know, we gotta do

974
00:52:13,480 --> 00:52:18,399
Speaker 2: this every day. So we saw Codrington had a helmet, yes,

975
00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:22,080
Speaker 2: but was he doing anything during the media viewing portion

976
00:52:22,160 --> 00:52:22,800
Speaker 2: of practice?

977
00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:25,760
Speaker 9: Yes and no is the answer. He when he started

978
00:52:25,840 --> 00:52:28,200
Speaker 9: out had the helmet on, and I was waiting because

979
00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:30,239
Speaker 9: they were in special Teams period, and you see the

980
00:52:30,320 --> 00:52:33,919
Speaker 9: returners take rep after rep after rep, interchanging with each other,

981
00:52:34,320 --> 00:52:37,040
Speaker 9: and at times it looked like, Okay, Brandon Codrington is

982
00:52:37,040 --> 00:52:38,960
Speaker 9: about to take a rep, and then he would step

983
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:41,160
Speaker 9: back and let somebody else take a rep. I don't

984
00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:44,280
Speaker 9: know if that was just feeling things out, just waiting

985
00:52:44,280 --> 00:52:47,680
Speaker 9: for his turn. Eventually I saw him take a couple

986
00:52:47,719 --> 00:52:52,520
Speaker 9: of reps, catching punts, and then once the team moved

987
00:52:52,560 --> 00:52:56,959
Speaker 9: into position group in the individual drills, I should say

988
00:52:57,400 --> 00:52:59,360
Speaker 9: I did not see him a part of the mix anymore.

989
00:52:59,400 --> 00:53:02,520
Speaker 9: And toward the end of the special team's portion, he

990
00:53:02,640 --> 00:53:05,240
Speaker 9: did take his helmet off and walk to the sideline

991
00:53:05,280 --> 00:53:07,440
Speaker 9: and looked like he was viewing the rest of that portion.

992
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:08,879
Speaker 3: So he might even be.

993
00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:13,080
Speaker 2: A non participant again. Hamstring injuries are tough. They usually

994
00:53:13,120 --> 00:53:16,880
Speaker 2: take a week, so it wouldn't stun me if you

995
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:19,160
Speaker 2: can't get back in time for this week's game, and

996
00:53:20,239 --> 00:53:22,160
Speaker 2: you know they have other options. It's not like they

997
00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:25,600
Speaker 2: have other options, So maybe just let him get healthy,

998
00:53:25,719 --> 00:53:28,720
Speaker 2: because you got to be explosive on punt return, Steve,

999
00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:31,319
Speaker 2: you know that, Yeah he got yeah, and you can't

1000
00:53:31,360 --> 00:53:32,480
Speaker 2: do that with a bad handy.

1001
00:53:32,640 --> 00:53:34,799
Speaker 3: Obviously it's not a torn hammy or something.

1002
00:53:34,800 --> 00:53:36,680
Speaker 2: You know, it's a strain or a parade.

1003
00:53:36,719 --> 00:53:37,799
Speaker 3: But here's the thing.

1004
00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:42,959
Speaker 1: I mean, you go from being almost healthy to hurt

1005
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:46,040
Speaker 1: worse than you were the day it happened in two steps,

1006
00:53:46,719 --> 00:53:48,560
Speaker 1: So you got to be one hundred percent healthy before

1007
00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:48,799
Speaker 1: you come.

1008
00:53:48,920 --> 00:53:51,919
Speaker 9: And the two punts that I saw, they weren't catch

1009
00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:53,520
Speaker 9: as he let them go out of the end zone.

1010
00:53:53,640 --> 00:53:57,160
Speaker 9: So I don't know what to make of that. We're

1011
00:53:57,160 --> 00:54:01,239
Speaker 9: gonna get a injury update after pract It's supposed to

1012
00:54:01,320 --> 00:54:03,560
Speaker 9: end here in about ten minutes, so I would assume

1013
00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:05,760
Speaker 9: that's coming in the three o'clock or four o'clock window,

1014
00:54:05,840 --> 00:54:07,719
Speaker 9: and we'll see what its designation is.

1015
00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:13,160
Speaker 1: Non participant again, then they've got other options like Khalil Shakir.

1016
00:54:13,239 --> 00:54:17,680
Speaker 1: They've got kJ hammer on Ty Johnson, Ty Johnson, I imagine,

1017
00:54:18,400 --> 00:54:21,280
Speaker 1: you know, kickoff return is not an issue.

1018
00:54:21,280 --> 00:54:23,000
Speaker 3: They've got guys that can go back there and do

1019
00:54:23,080 --> 00:54:23,680
Speaker 3: that easily.

1020
00:54:23,880 --> 00:54:26,800
Speaker 2: And then JaMarcus Ingram still not back yet.

1021
00:54:26,960 --> 00:54:29,000
Speaker 9: I did not see him out at the viewing portion

1022
00:54:29,080 --> 00:54:32,360
Speaker 9: of practice yesterday. Our head coach Seaan McDermott said that

1023
00:54:32,400 --> 00:54:36,200
Speaker 9: JaMarcus Ingram was excused from Wednesday's practice due to personal

1024
00:54:36,239 --> 00:54:40,320
Speaker 9: reasons family matter. I did not see him at practice today.

1025
00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:42,000
Speaker 9: I don't know if he's in the building.

1026
00:54:42,520 --> 00:54:42,959
Speaker 3: Not sure.

1027
00:54:43,280 --> 00:54:46,400
Speaker 9: We will see again on that injury designation. If he's around.

1028
00:54:46,480 --> 00:54:49,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a Texas native if I remember right, so

1029
00:54:49,480 --> 00:54:51,120
Speaker 2: maybe if he's got to travel all the way to

1030
00:54:51,160 --> 00:54:53,000
Speaker 2: Texas for a family matter, it might take a little

1031
00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:57,040
Speaker 2: bit for him to get back here and after its resolved.

1032
00:54:57,160 --> 00:55:00,440
Speaker 2: So we'll just wait and bide our time on that one. Also,

1033
00:55:01,719 --> 00:55:04,719
Speaker 2: and Amari Cooper's back yesterday and he's good to go,

1034
00:55:04,800 --> 00:55:09,120
Speaker 2: so that's a good thing for the offense. Some interesting

1035
00:55:09,320 --> 00:55:12,960
Speaker 2: interview comments yesterday. You got to explain this one to

1036
00:55:13,040 --> 00:55:14,920
Speaker 2: me because we only got to play a portion of

1037
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:21,080
Speaker 2: Josh Allen's comments with the media yesterday where he was

1038
00:55:21,080 --> 00:55:22,080
Speaker 2: telling a dad joke.

1039
00:55:22,160 --> 00:55:23,040
Speaker 3: What the heck happened?

1040
00:55:23,040 --> 00:55:25,439
Speaker 9: Then, Okay, so this stems from I think a couple

1041
00:55:25,440 --> 00:55:29,080
Speaker 9: of weeks ago this conversation started, and it was a

1042
00:55:29,200 --> 00:55:34,680
Speaker 9: question about Sean McDermott this season and how we've seen

1043
00:55:34,719 --> 00:55:38,360
Speaker 9: in different ways, whether it's in interviews and practices, during games,

1044
00:55:38,560 --> 00:55:45,120
Speaker 9: postgame interviews, McDermott seems like he's a little bit he's

1045
00:55:45,160 --> 00:55:47,319
Speaker 9: got some ease to him this year, I want to say,

1046
00:55:47,360 --> 00:55:51,680
Speaker 9: looks like he's always having fun with his team, but

1047
00:55:51,800 --> 00:55:56,560
Speaker 9: you see it visibly in interviews now it's not as serious.

1048
00:55:56,239 --> 00:56:01,800
Speaker 9: There's some joking with coach McDermott this season. Some reporter

1049
00:56:01,920 --> 00:56:04,200
Speaker 9: must have been working on a story about what coach

1050
00:56:04,320 --> 00:56:08,120
Speaker 9: McDermott is like this season, and Josh Allen gave an

1051
00:56:08,160 --> 00:56:12,120
Speaker 9: example of he's telling dad jokes in meetings, and so

1052
00:56:12,200 --> 00:56:14,680
Speaker 9: then a week later it was followed up with what's

1053
00:56:14,719 --> 00:56:17,040
Speaker 9: your favorite dad joke that Sean McDermot has said the

1054
00:56:17,080 --> 00:56:21,400
Speaker 9: season And the answer was, what did the older buffalo

1055
00:56:21,520 --> 00:56:23,319
Speaker 9: say to the younger buffalo whatever it was?

1056
00:56:23,400 --> 00:56:27,480
Speaker 3: And yeah, and his first day of school or something, Yeah.

1057
00:56:27,560 --> 00:56:31,200
Speaker 9: Buy sony. So yeah, that's that's where that you know,

1058
00:56:31,360 --> 00:56:34,440
Speaker 9: you never know, there's some great fun questions out there

1059
00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:37,160
Speaker 9: and you're trying to connect the dots of where's this

1060
00:56:37,320 --> 00:56:37,799
Speaker 9: coming from?

1061
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:42,439
Speaker 2: And so offshoot of that, somebody asked Josh last week,

1062
00:56:42,520 --> 00:56:44,800
Speaker 2: what was coach McDermott's dad joke of the day, and

1063
00:56:44,880 --> 00:56:47,960
Speaker 2: he said, oh, he had him on a daily calendar. Yeah,

1064
00:56:48,160 --> 00:56:52,480
Speaker 2: to the end of the year, so he didn't have one,

1065
00:56:53,280 --> 00:56:54,600
Speaker 2: you know, those tear off calendar.

1066
00:56:55,880 --> 00:56:56,920
Speaker 3: He ran out of days.

1067
00:56:57,239 --> 00:57:00,560
Speaker 2: Somebody should have got him a new one. The heck,

1068
00:57:00,640 --> 00:57:04,520
Speaker 2: that's a perfect stocking stuff for coach. We had Jordan

1069
00:57:04,560 --> 00:57:06,240
Speaker 2: Phillips in here yesterday.

1070
00:57:06,360 --> 00:57:08,319
Speaker 3: And he was just talking a great interview with him.

1071
00:57:08,520 --> 00:57:09,200
Speaker 2: I watched it.

1072
00:57:09,480 --> 00:57:10,200
Speaker 9: He was awesome.

1073
00:57:10,440 --> 00:57:12,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, great and obviously happy to be back here for

1074
00:57:13,080 --> 00:57:19,520
Speaker 2: his third stint. But was there any talk going into

1075
00:57:19,560 --> 00:57:22,360
Speaker 2: this playoff game because there's a lot of guys on

1076
00:57:22,440 --> 00:57:24,400
Speaker 2: this roster that have obviously been to the playoffs, but

1077
00:57:24,440 --> 00:57:27,640
Speaker 2: there are some younger guys on the roster who haven't.

1078
00:57:27,760 --> 00:57:30,400
Speaker 2: Now there's been this influx of youth with this draft

1079
00:57:30,440 --> 00:57:33,120
Speaker 2: class and some of the other pickups, was there any

1080
00:57:33,200 --> 00:57:36,960
Speaker 2: talk about making sure they know what they're in for

1081
00:57:37,200 --> 00:57:38,800
Speaker 2: with the veterans maybe helping them.

1082
00:57:39,520 --> 00:57:42,680
Speaker 9: I think there's several veterans on this team this season

1083
00:57:42,720 --> 00:57:45,520
Speaker 9: who have been a part of so many different playoff

1084
00:57:45,560 --> 00:57:49,000
Speaker 9: runs and with different teams. We heard from von Miller yesterday,

1085
00:57:49,680 --> 00:57:52,320
Speaker 9: this game on Sunday is going to be his fourteenth

1086
00:57:52,440 --> 00:57:55,520
Speaker 9: playoff game that he's been a part of. And those

1087
00:57:55,600 --> 00:57:59,080
Speaker 9: guys have wisdom to impart on some of the younger players.

1088
00:57:59,320 --> 00:58:02,200
Speaker 9: And you saw the group yesterday after last year. After

1089
00:58:02,400 --> 00:58:05,760
Speaker 9: yesterday's walk through practice, I should say, the rookies came

1090
00:58:05,840 --> 00:58:07,760
Speaker 9: together in a big circle and it was kind of like,

1091
00:58:07,840 --> 00:58:12,320
Speaker 9: what's going on here, what's happening? And our player development guy,

1092
00:58:12,400 --> 00:58:15,480
Speaker 9: Mark Carrier was meeting with the rookies just to make

1093
00:58:15,560 --> 00:58:19,160
Speaker 9: sure their mindset was in a good place before the

1094
00:58:19,240 --> 00:58:22,400
Speaker 9: playoffs begin on Sunday, and I thought that was something

1095
00:58:22,480 --> 00:58:25,040
Speaker 9: that was very cool to see to have these guys

1096
00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:28,800
Speaker 9: come together and to talk about we're going into a

1097
00:58:28,920 --> 00:58:32,000
Speaker 9: new part of the season that is unchartered territory for

1098
00:58:32,040 --> 00:58:34,160
Speaker 9: a big group of our players who have played meaningful

1099
00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:37,479
Speaker 9: snaps this season, here's what to expect. Do you guys

1100
00:58:37,520 --> 00:58:40,040
Speaker 9: have any questions? And then you have a group of

1101
00:58:40,160 --> 00:58:42,880
Speaker 9: players who have played in several playoff games and are

1102
00:58:42,960 --> 00:58:46,320
Speaker 9: going to have those conversations with our new rookies on

1103
00:58:46,440 --> 00:58:49,920
Speaker 9: this roster. We heard from Rusul Douglas yesterday and I

1104
00:58:49,960 --> 00:58:53,400
Speaker 9: thought what he had to say was pretty telling about

1105
00:58:53,440 --> 00:58:56,040
Speaker 9: the group as a whole this season. While Douglas is

1106
00:58:56,120 --> 00:58:59,280
Speaker 9: not a rookie, it is just his second year a

1107
00:58:59,360 --> 00:59:02,240
Speaker 9: part of the Buffer Low Bills, not second full season

1108
00:59:02,280 --> 00:59:03,840
Speaker 9: because he came here in the middle of the season

1109
00:59:03,960 --> 00:59:07,360
Speaker 9: last year. But he talked about the vibe of the

1110
00:59:07,440 --> 00:59:10,960
Speaker 9: team right now, and it seems like they're really approaching

1111
00:59:11,040 --> 00:59:13,880
Speaker 9: this game with just a next game mentality. Yes, they

1112
00:59:14,040 --> 00:59:17,520
Speaker 9: understand it's the playoffs and it's win or go home,

1113
00:59:17,920 --> 00:59:21,040
Speaker 9: but in the same vein it's we locked up the

1114
00:59:21,120 --> 00:59:25,000
Speaker 9: AFC East weeks ago. We were playing great, but we

1115
00:59:25,160 --> 00:59:28,360
Speaker 9: believe we haven't even peaked yet. Our offense has put

1116
00:59:28,440 --> 00:59:32,040
Speaker 9: up these forty point games, but our defense hasn't played

1117
00:59:32,120 --> 00:59:34,720
Speaker 9: the best when our offense has played the best. It

1118
00:59:34,960 --> 00:59:38,640
Speaker 9: just seems like there's a casualness, not in a bad

1119
00:59:38,720 --> 00:59:42,320
Speaker 9: way right now that's going around the entire team. And

1120
00:59:42,680 --> 00:59:44,000
Speaker 9: I don't know if you guys feel, but.

1121
00:59:44,120 --> 00:59:45,000
Speaker 3: I feel it too.

1122
00:59:45,560 --> 00:59:49,400
Speaker 9: There was this tenseness last year we talked about it, Brownie.

1123
00:59:50,080 --> 00:59:52,760
Speaker 9: They it was win every single game in the last

1124
00:59:52,800 --> 00:59:55,800
Speaker 9: six weeks of the season, and win and in and

1125
00:59:56,400 --> 00:59:59,080
Speaker 9: you talked about the mentality that goes along with that

1126
00:59:59,240 --> 01:00:01,560
Speaker 9: and just how much of a grind it is to

1127
01:00:01,680 --> 01:00:03,680
Speaker 9: have to do that for six weeks in a row

1128
01:00:03,800 --> 01:00:05,720
Speaker 9: and you get through it and you can't even take

1129
01:00:05,760 --> 01:00:08,440
Speaker 9: a breath because the playoffs are here. This group has

1130
01:00:08,480 --> 01:00:11,080
Speaker 9: been breathing for the last five weeks.

1131
01:00:11,520 --> 01:00:12,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right.

1132
01:00:12,280 --> 01:00:14,520
Speaker 2: Because he's had teams where they have been able to

1133
01:00:14,560 --> 01:00:16,439
Speaker 2: take that last week off and you had other years

1134
01:00:16,480 --> 01:00:17,920
Speaker 2: where you had to work to get it.

1135
01:00:18,360 --> 01:00:20,240
Speaker 1: It does make a difference. And I'll say this too,

1136
01:00:20,520 --> 01:00:22,680
Speaker 1: there does seem to be a different vibe in this building.

1137
01:00:23,040 --> 01:00:25,400
Speaker 1: This group seems a little more confident in what it

1138
01:00:25,480 --> 01:00:30,080
Speaker 1: can do than teams in the past, and this iteration

1139
01:00:30,160 --> 01:00:32,080
Speaker 1: of the Bills in the past handful of years.

1140
01:00:32,480 --> 01:00:33,200
Speaker 3: This is a team that.

1141
01:00:34,800 --> 01:00:37,520
Speaker 1: Fully expected to be here and if they didn't, they

1142
01:00:37,640 --> 01:00:39,080
Speaker 1: have for the last five or six weeks.

1143
01:00:39,120 --> 01:00:41,760
Speaker 3: I mean, they've been in it. The leaders on this

1144
01:00:41,800 --> 01:00:42,200
Speaker 3: team like.

1145
01:00:42,280 --> 01:00:46,960
Speaker 1: Josh of course, even Rasul, Douglas, Milano, Bernard, even though

1146
01:00:47,360 --> 01:00:50,400
Speaker 1: only he's a younger player. These guys that have been around,

1147
01:00:50,520 --> 01:00:53,640
Speaker 1: Deon Dawkins, Spencer Brown. You got a lot of guys

1148
01:00:53,680 --> 01:00:57,000
Speaker 1: aj Panessa, they've been around for a minute. This is

1149
01:00:57,040 --> 01:01:00,960
Speaker 1: where they expect to be, and it's much different knowing

1150
01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:04,000
Speaker 1: you deserve it, earned it, and they're expected to be

1151
01:01:04,200 --> 01:01:06,480
Speaker 1: You're this is You're one of the guys that belong here.

1152
01:01:06,520 --> 01:01:09,160
Speaker 1: You're one of the guys that makes this a big game.

1153
01:01:09,760 --> 01:01:12,520
Speaker 1: There's a much different mindset and vibe around this building

1154
01:01:12,600 --> 01:01:15,080
Speaker 1: and with the players than we've seen in the past

1155
01:01:15,120 --> 01:01:15,720
Speaker 1: handful of years.

1156
01:01:15,760 --> 01:01:18,400
Speaker 2: But eighty nine, Steve, you guys are nine and seven

1157
01:01:18,480 --> 01:01:22,600
Speaker 2: and oh yes, yes, And then in ninety or thirteen

1158
01:01:22,680 --> 01:01:25,040
Speaker 2: and three and you got the top seed locked up,

1159
01:01:26,160 --> 01:01:29,760
Speaker 2: Like there's a huge difference in where your brain is.

1160
01:01:29,880 --> 01:01:31,680
Speaker 3: Yes, there is. And I'll say this though too.

1161
01:01:32,720 --> 01:01:35,560
Speaker 1: This team's you know, this team's five now, five time

1162
01:01:35,640 --> 01:01:41,720
Speaker 1: division champion. There is something about it. It becomes always

1163
01:01:41,880 --> 01:01:46,120
Speaker 1: about you. You know, Okay, the Denver Broncos are coming in,

1164
01:01:46,240 --> 01:01:49,200
Speaker 1: that's fine, but we've got to get ourselves ready. It

1165
01:01:49,240 --> 01:01:51,520
Speaker 1: doesn't matter if it's the Broncos or the Ravens or

1166
01:01:51,520 --> 01:01:58,760
Speaker 1: the Chiefs or you know, you know, Saint Saint Daisy's

1167
01:01:59,560 --> 01:02:01,440
Speaker 1: Day School. You know it doesn't matter who you're playing,

1168
01:02:02,320 --> 01:02:05,160
Speaker 1: you're gonna get ready and sorry saying and that that's

1169
01:02:05,200 --> 01:02:06,600
Speaker 1: one of the things that carried that team. I was

1170
01:02:06,640 --> 01:02:09,240
Speaker 1: on to so many, you know, so many big moments.

1171
01:02:09,480 --> 01:02:12,400
Speaker 1: Was once you've been like, this team has won the

1172
01:02:12,480 --> 01:02:16,200
Speaker 1: division five straight years, there is a floor that they

1173
01:02:16,280 --> 01:02:18,680
Speaker 1: will not allow themselves to drop along, and that floor

1174
01:02:18,760 --> 01:02:21,920
Speaker 1: has risen gradually up now. Their floor is up here

1175
01:02:21,960 --> 01:02:24,920
Speaker 1: now from where it was in twenty seventeen, twenty nineteen.

1176
01:02:25,240 --> 01:02:28,120
Speaker 1: Their level of acceptability is clear up here now.

1177
01:02:28,120 --> 01:02:30,280
Speaker 2: Which kind of goes to what Rasul said at the

1178
01:02:30,360 --> 01:02:33,000
Speaker 2: end of that comment, because he said, we're preparing for

1179
01:02:33,120 --> 01:02:35,479
Speaker 2: this week like it's any other week, but we also

1180
01:02:35,640 --> 01:02:39,880
Speaker 2: know if we're not careful, we're breaking it down for

1181
01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:42,840
Speaker 2: exit interviews on Mondays, saying one, two three can coom

1182
01:02:43,040 --> 01:02:44,880
Speaker 2: t three divisional playoffs.

1183
01:02:44,920 --> 01:02:47,680
Speaker 9: Yeah, so they know that mindset has to be there. Yes,

1184
01:02:47,760 --> 01:02:50,240
Speaker 9: it's an understanding of it's just another game, but it's

1185
01:02:50,320 --> 01:02:53,440
Speaker 9: also with that and understanding of we could go home

1186
01:02:53,520 --> 01:02:55,560
Speaker 9: if we lose this one. I think that speaks to

1187
01:02:55,680 --> 01:02:58,880
Speaker 9: the maturity of the group, understanding both things can coexist

1188
01:02:59,000 --> 01:03:03,760
Speaker 9: with each other. I spoke to Osiris Torrance are one

1189
01:03:03,800 --> 01:03:06,920
Speaker 9: of our offensive linemen. We did a podcast interview with

1190
01:03:07,080 --> 01:03:09,920
Speaker 9: him and that's going to be released later this afternoon,

1191
01:03:10,040 --> 01:03:12,760
Speaker 9: and I thought he had some telling comments just about

1192
01:03:12,960 --> 01:03:15,880
Speaker 9: entering the playoffs now, just for his second year in

1193
01:03:15,920 --> 01:03:16,440
Speaker 9: the NFL.

1194
01:03:16,520 --> 01:03:17,200
Speaker 10: He talked about the.

1195
01:03:17,240 --> 01:03:20,080
Speaker 9: Rookie season, I didn't really know what to expect, Like

1196
01:03:20,680 --> 01:03:23,000
Speaker 9: I was just going into it as this is just

1197
01:03:23,040 --> 01:03:27,080
Speaker 9: another game, but within that, there's way more that goes

1198
01:03:27,120 --> 01:03:31,440
Speaker 9: into playoff preparation. The emotions are higher, it's more tense,

1199
01:03:31,880 --> 01:03:35,120
Speaker 9: and now I know, Okay, this is what to expect.

1200
01:03:35,440 --> 01:03:38,640
Speaker 9: This is how I personally need to prepare for a

1201
01:03:38,720 --> 01:03:42,280
Speaker 9: playoff game. And not just Torrance, but you have other

1202
01:03:42,400 --> 01:03:44,760
Speaker 9: guys on the team who are second your players, who

1203
01:03:44,920 --> 01:03:48,480
Speaker 9: are starters on this roster, who are feeling better about

1204
01:03:48,680 --> 01:03:52,320
Speaker 9: their second season in the NFL, their second postseason in

1205
01:03:52,440 --> 01:03:55,160
Speaker 9: the NFL. And he spoke about hitting that rookie wall

1206
01:03:55,280 --> 01:03:58,040
Speaker 9: last year and saying, while I tried to avoid it,

1207
01:03:58,160 --> 01:04:00,480
Speaker 9: I just couldn't and it was hard and and I

1208
01:04:00,640 --> 01:04:02,680
Speaker 9: kind of took my foot off the gas a little bit,

1209
01:04:02,800 --> 01:04:04,040
Speaker 9: not on purpose.

1210
01:04:03,720 --> 01:04:05,000
Speaker 3: But you know, unknowingly.

1211
01:04:05,720 --> 01:04:07,840
Speaker 9: And this year, I know what I need to do

1212
01:04:08,400 --> 01:04:10,480
Speaker 9: to make sure that I don't take a break, and

1213
01:04:10,640 --> 01:04:13,520
Speaker 9: for him it's going back and watching tape of games

1214
01:04:13,520 --> 01:04:15,000
Speaker 9: where he thought he played really well.

1215
01:04:15,480 --> 01:04:20,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is a real thing because everybody has in

1216
01:04:20,360 --> 01:04:22,360
Speaker 1: every game you play, and you have a certain level

1217
01:04:22,400 --> 01:04:25,919
Speaker 1: of confidence, a certain level of anxiety, a certain level

1218
01:04:25,960 --> 01:04:28,080
Speaker 1: of expectation for what you should be able to do

1219
01:04:28,160 --> 01:04:30,280
Speaker 1: and what you might be able to do, and then

1220
01:04:30,480 --> 01:04:33,280
Speaker 1: you get into that rhythm of how you handle it,

1221
01:04:33,360 --> 01:04:34,920
Speaker 1: and you got to find a way to cope with

1222
01:04:35,000 --> 01:04:40,880
Speaker 1: your own emotions and preparation and confidence and angst and doubt,

1223
01:04:41,880 --> 01:04:44,960
Speaker 1: and you get into the playoffs, there's just an added

1224
01:04:45,320 --> 01:04:50,960
Speaker 1: element of responsibility that's on top of that, and you

1225
01:04:51,040 --> 01:04:53,240
Speaker 1: got to find a way to compartmentalize that and get

1226
01:04:53,280 --> 01:04:56,920
Speaker 1: around and play your best under the raised stakes of

1227
01:04:57,000 --> 01:05:01,040
Speaker 1: the game while trying to fit elevate the guys around

1228
01:05:01,080 --> 01:05:03,240
Speaker 1: you to help them play their best as well. It's

1229
01:05:03,520 --> 01:05:05,560
Speaker 1: a dynamic that's unusual to sports.

1230
01:05:06,080 --> 01:05:08,200
Speaker 2: Maddy. We gotta let you jump because practice is ending

1231
01:05:08,240 --> 01:05:09,920
Speaker 2: and you've got work to do. So thanks for stopping

1232
01:05:09,960 --> 01:05:11,400
Speaker 2: by and bringing us up to speed on what the

1233
01:05:11,440 --> 01:05:14,160
Speaker 2: players are talking about here in advance of this week's

1234
01:05:14,240 --> 01:05:15,600
Speaker 2: Wildcard game. We appreciate it.

1235
01:05:16,120 --> 01:05:16,880

Speaker 2: up to create the ultimate postseason rally towel.

01:05:44,680 --> 01:05:46,600

1267
01:07:03,600 --> 01:07:07,960
Speaker 2: Whatever is Oh, you know what it is? It's one

1268
01:07:08,000 --> 01:07:10,200
Speaker 2: of those kerchiefs that women wear in Russia. You know,

1269
01:07:10,320 --> 01:07:11,600
Speaker 2: those little bobushka things.

1270
01:07:13,360 --> 01:07:16,400
Speaker 1: You're a culture that's not a bushka that I thought

1271
01:07:16,440 --> 01:07:19,600
Speaker 1: the person was as like a grandma or something that's

1272
01:07:19,600 --> 01:07:20,480
Speaker 1: a babushka, right.

1273
01:07:20,800 --> 01:07:22,520
Speaker 2: I think they wear them too, and they call us.

1274
01:07:23,080 --> 01:07:24,880
Speaker 2: Isn't that what the kerchief is called Russia?

1275
01:07:25,000 --> 01:07:27,880
Speaker 3: You don't know either. You're guessing. No, you're making it

1276
01:07:28,000 --> 01:07:28,760
Speaker 3: up as you go along.

1277
01:07:28,840 --> 01:07:30,760
Speaker 2: Russian word for the kerchief, is it?

1278
01:07:31,240 --> 01:07:34,480
Speaker 3: I'm not rushing somebody, not a mush I'm sure I'll

1279
01:07:34,520 --> 01:07:35,840
Speaker 3: be correct. I'm wrong.

1280
01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:38,840
Speaker 1: I'm not worried about it at all. I'm sure I'll

1281
01:07:38,960 --> 01:07:41,080
Speaker 1: be I think that's what I thought. That's what it

1282
01:07:41,120 --> 01:07:45,360
Speaker 1: will correct you even if you're not wrong, we're both

1283
01:07:45,680 --> 01:07:46,840
Speaker 1: both both right.

1284
01:07:47,320 --> 01:07:47,880
Speaker 3: That's possible.

1285
01:07:47,960 --> 01:07:51,040
Speaker 1: That's a piece that would be a first people, because

1286
01:07:51,080 --> 01:07:53,040
Speaker 1: one of us is usually both right.

1287
01:07:53,840 --> 01:07:56,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, they have Okay, so let's let's we might both

1288
01:07:56,640 --> 01:07:58,280
Speaker 2: We're going to get to the right here.

1289
01:07:58,360 --> 01:08:00,920
Speaker 3: Right, we might both be wrong, but both of us are.

1290
01:08:01,000 --> 01:08:03,520
Speaker 2: No, you're right. It's an old woman or a grandmother.

1291
01:08:04,520 --> 01:08:08,160
Speaker 2: The North American definition is a head scarf tied under

1292
01:08:08,200 --> 01:08:08,520
Speaker 2: the chin.

1293
01:08:09,080 --> 01:08:09,880
Speaker 3: We are both right.

1294
01:08:10,040 --> 01:08:11,480
Speaker 2: Give me, let's tell it.

1295
01:08:11,680 --> 01:08:17,679
Speaker 3: That's we're gonna win on Sunday with the Babushka waving

1296
01:08:17,760 --> 01:08:17,920
Speaker 3: in this.

1297
01:08:18,880 --> 01:08:20,720
Speaker 2: I'm actually happy that we're both right.

1298
01:08:20,960 --> 01:08:23,760
Speaker 3: That's rare, that is impossible.

1299
01:08:23,920 --> 01:08:26,879
Speaker 2: You you get credit for the Poland, Polish and Russian

1300
01:08:27,080 --> 01:08:29,879
Speaker 2: definition of that, which is an old woman or a grandmother.

1301
01:08:35,400 --> 01:08:38,240
Speaker 3: What a moment, What a moment. Come on, let's go.

1302
01:08:38,479 --> 01:08:41,439
Speaker 2: We have to quickly get to from the coach's office,

1303
01:08:42,160 --> 01:08:45,960
Speaker 2: and that is brought to you. Hold on, I'm going

1304
01:08:46,040 --> 01:08:51,920
Speaker 2: to get there by c FBT and they're the official

1305
01:08:52,200 --> 01:08:55,240
Speaker 2: office technology company of the Buffalo Bills.

1306
01:08:55,400 --> 01:08:57,840
Speaker 3: So Steve, we talked about this.

1307
01:08:58,840 --> 01:09:02,800
Speaker 2: The Broncos are a heavy screen team, a lot of

1308
01:09:02,920 --> 01:09:07,120
Speaker 2: perimeter screens and while you're coaching your players to be

1309
01:09:07,240 --> 01:09:11,080
Speaker 2: prepared for that. The coaches are also talking about wrinkles

1310
01:09:11,120 --> 01:09:14,200
Speaker 2: that could come off of that very right, high volume

1311
01:09:14,360 --> 01:09:15,560
Speaker 2: play for the Broncos.

1312
01:09:15,840 --> 01:09:18,040
Speaker 1: If your coaches, you're telling your players, you're coaching them

1313
01:09:18,080 --> 01:09:19,639
Speaker 1: up and saying this is what they do and and listen,

1314
01:09:19,720 --> 01:09:22,120
Speaker 1: the Broncos got to the playoffs by being who they are.

1315
01:09:22,439 --> 01:09:25,720
Speaker 1: They're not going to completely abandon it. Although we had

1316
01:09:25,840 --> 01:09:28,760
Speaker 1: Tyler Columbus to tell us when they chase, when they

1317
01:09:29,120 --> 01:09:33,639
Speaker 1: face a scrambling quarterback. Their defense did try and change

1318
01:09:33,680 --> 01:09:38,240
Speaker 1: its identity a little bit more so, but offensively, they

1319
01:09:38,320 --> 01:09:40,160
Speaker 1: got to go with what they do best, and that's

1320
01:09:40,200 --> 01:09:42,519
Speaker 1: gonna be they're gonna throw some of those screens and stuff. Certainly,

1321
01:09:42,680 --> 01:09:44,720
Speaker 1: bo Nick's got the arm to put it deep as well.

1322
01:09:44,840 --> 01:09:47,200
Speaker 1: So listen, if you're a coach, you're coaching your guys up.

1323
01:09:47,560 --> 01:09:50,160
Speaker 1: When they throw those bubble screens, it's a couple of guys.

1324
01:09:50,240 --> 01:09:52,840
Speaker 1: You got guys that it's their play to make. You

1325
01:09:52,920 --> 01:09:56,080
Speaker 1: got a defensive end, you got outside, a linebacker coming

1326
01:09:56,120 --> 01:09:58,000
Speaker 1: from the inside, and the corner that's right there on

1327
01:09:58,040 --> 01:10:02,040
Speaker 1: the line, the backs side safety and the safety behind him.

1328
01:10:02,120 --> 01:10:04,559
Speaker 1: It's not their play to make. Make sure you keep

1329
01:10:04,680 --> 01:10:07,920
Speaker 1: a lid on it. Make the plays that are yours

1330
01:10:08,040 --> 01:10:10,960
Speaker 1: to make. Everybody else can rally if you're not able to,

1331
01:10:11,479 --> 01:10:13,840
Speaker 1: but make the plays that yours, that are yours to make.

1332
01:10:13,960 --> 01:10:16,519
Speaker 1: Don't try and run up on a fast screen and

1333
01:10:16,640 --> 01:10:19,639
Speaker 1: make a sensational play and then they sneak a guy

1334
01:10:19,680 --> 01:10:22,439
Speaker 1: out behind you and they go deep. So Safety's got

1335
01:10:22,520 --> 01:10:24,559
Speaker 1: to play their play, their spots. Make sure they keep

1336
01:10:24,560 --> 01:10:26,680
Speaker 1: a lid on it. Do not let the Broncos get

1337
01:10:26,680 --> 01:10:29,320
Speaker 1: an explosive play because you were over aggressive.

1338
01:10:30,120 --> 01:10:32,840
Speaker 3: Uh, that's what those screens worry me at.

1339
01:10:33,320 --> 01:10:36,479
Speaker 1: They're gonna they're gonna nick you on some gains because

1340
01:10:36,479 --> 01:10:38,879
Speaker 1: they're good at running those screens. But if you're prepared

1341
01:10:38,960 --> 01:10:41,040
Speaker 1: for them, you're gonna mitigate that and you're gonna make

1342
01:10:41,080 --> 01:10:42,960
Speaker 1: your play of your own once in a while and then.

1343
01:10:42,880 --> 01:10:45,120
Speaker 2: Be hyper aware to a possible wrinkle.

1344
01:10:44,840 --> 01:10:46,519
Speaker 3: Off of it if they have that wrinkle, and you

1345
01:10:46,560 --> 01:10:47,040
Speaker 3: know what I mean.

1346
01:10:48,280 --> 01:10:50,800
Speaker 1: You see Josh Allen, understand he comes back, quips it

1347
01:10:50,840 --> 01:10:53,040
Speaker 1: out to the sideline and a guy goes that's one

1348
01:10:53,040 --> 01:10:56,559
Speaker 1: of those tunnel screens. If he comes out, pump fakes

1349
01:10:56,640 --> 01:10:58,800
Speaker 1: it to the sideline where that guy is and the

1350
01:10:58,880 --> 01:11:01,040
Speaker 1: guy and like mac Collins not to block the corner.

1351
01:11:01,240 --> 01:11:03,040
Speaker 1: The corner tries to get past him to get the

1352
01:11:03,120 --> 01:11:05,240
Speaker 1: play and mac Collins goes the other way down the

1353
01:11:05,280 --> 01:11:07,280
Speaker 1: field and they throw the deep ball. That's what we're

1354
01:11:07,280 --> 01:11:10,960
Speaker 1: talking about as a screen, something like that or something

1355
01:11:11,200 --> 01:11:14,880
Speaker 1: or variation thereof. Yeah, you gotta have your head on straight.

1356
01:11:14,960 --> 01:11:15,120
Speaker 3: Now.

1357
01:11:15,800 --> 01:11:18,760
Speaker 1: I've said this time and time again. You can't get

1358
01:11:19,360 --> 01:11:22,439
Speaker 1: caught up. And Marv used to say this all the time.

1359
01:11:22,479 --> 01:11:25,320
Speaker 1: Coach said, listen, hey, when you're playing a coaching defense,

1360
01:11:25,400 --> 01:11:27,160
Speaker 1: like hey, watch out for the screen, watch out for

1361
01:11:27,240 --> 01:11:29,560
Speaker 1: the draw, watch out for the sweep, watch out for

1362
01:11:29,640 --> 01:11:31,760
Speaker 1: the throwback, watch out for the and pretty soon you

1363
01:11:31,880 --> 01:11:33,519
Speaker 1: do you're not doing anything except watching out.

1364
01:11:34,320 --> 01:11:36,240
Speaker 3: I remember right, he said that.

1365
01:11:36,360 --> 01:11:39,000
Speaker 1: He goes, all you do is watch out. You gotta

1366
01:11:39,000 --> 01:11:42,960
Speaker 1: play aggressive, play your game. Trust your players. These guys

1367
01:11:43,000 --> 01:11:45,280
Speaker 1: are here playing as well as they are because they're

1368
01:11:45,320 --> 01:11:47,120
Speaker 1: good and they're disciplined and they know what they're doing.

1369
01:11:47,560 --> 01:11:50,320
Speaker 1: Trust them, coach them up and trust them and turn

1370
01:11:50,400 --> 01:11:50,800
Speaker 1: them loose.

1371
01:11:50,880 --> 01:11:51,040
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1372
01:11:51,760 --> 01:11:53,880
Speaker 2: Uh, let's head back to the phones. At eight oh three,

1373
01:11:54,160 --> 01:11:56,400
Speaker 2: five fifty. You got some people there waiting patiently. What

1374
01:11:56,520 --> 01:11:59,360
Speaker 2: part of the Bills performing Sunday, We'll get them a

1375
01:11:59,479 --> 01:12:03,400
Speaker 2: victory over the Broncos and we go to Mark in

1376
01:12:03,640 --> 01:12:04,320
Speaker 2: West Seneca.

1377
01:12:07,160 --> 01:12:09,479
Speaker 5: Oh good, I'm doing good today, are you guys today?

1378
01:12:10,800 --> 01:12:10,920
Speaker 11: Hey?

1379
01:12:11,120 --> 01:12:15,519
Speaker 5: Uh bringing up those bubble screens. I worry about it

1380
01:12:15,600 --> 01:12:17,920
Speaker 5: on third down. Our guys have got a really rally

1381
01:12:18,000 --> 01:12:19,599
Speaker 5: to the ball on third down because you know they're

1382
01:12:19,600 --> 01:12:22,200
Speaker 5: gonna do it on third down. Uh and hope Table

1383
01:12:22,360 --> 01:12:24,639
Speaker 5: or one of their athletes you know, make a first

1384
01:12:24,680 --> 01:12:27,760
Speaker 5: down just on their athletic ability. So uh, that's where

1385
01:12:27,760 --> 01:12:31,120
Speaker 5: I'm worried about that. Uh. Secondly, what I called about

1386
01:12:31,320 --> 01:12:34,720
Speaker 5: is on the offensive size of the ball. I really

1387
01:12:34,800 --> 01:12:37,599
Speaker 5: think the key to this game is Dalton kiy Kate.

1388
01:12:38,400 --> 01:12:42,200
Speaker 5: I think Dalton's got to be a real real force

1389
01:12:42,680 --> 01:12:45,320
Speaker 5: and keeping us ahead of the sticks, uh in this

1390
01:12:45,400 --> 01:12:49,400
Speaker 5: short passing game, taking advantage of their linebackers, which weak

1391
01:12:49,439 --> 01:12:52,240
Speaker 5: I think he can do, and and owning the middle

1392
01:12:52,280 --> 01:12:52,799
Speaker 5: of the field.

1393
01:12:53,680 --> 01:12:53,920
Speaker 3: I know.

1394
01:12:54,120 --> 01:12:57,120
Speaker 5: I believe the short passing game is where this game

1395
01:12:57,200 --> 01:13:01,320
Speaker 5: should start, uh, even before the run game. The run

1396
01:13:01,400 --> 01:13:04,080
Speaker 5: game should be mixed in after the short passing game.

1397
01:13:04,400 --> 01:13:06,680
Speaker 5: And I want to see them have a just make

1398
01:13:06,800 --> 01:13:11,679
Speaker 5: first downs mentality the whole game. I really don't want

1399
01:13:11,720 --> 01:13:15,240
Speaker 5: to see attempts that chunk plays on third and less

1400
01:13:15,280 --> 01:13:18,280
Speaker 5: than ten. I want to see a mentality of just

1401
01:13:18,400 --> 01:13:20,560
Speaker 5: get the first down. And I know Josh likes to

1402
01:13:20,640 --> 01:13:24,120
Speaker 5: go deep sometimes in those situations, and obviously he can,

1403
01:13:24,800 --> 01:13:27,439
Speaker 5: but I want to see a first down mentality. And

1404
01:13:27,560 --> 01:13:31,920
Speaker 5: then lastly, really quick, Steve, I don't love listening to

1405
01:13:32,040 --> 01:13:35,479
Speaker 5: you talk about the old days. As someone who never

1406
01:13:35,600 --> 01:13:39,040
Speaker 5: missed the game from nineteen seventy three to two thousand,

1407
01:13:39,600 --> 01:13:42,080
Speaker 5: I've seen every game, every down you ever played in

1408
01:13:42,160 --> 01:13:46,040
Speaker 5: that stadium, and I have to admit that listening to

1409
01:13:46,160 --> 01:13:50,599
Speaker 5: you talk, I really have forgotten how many different ways

1410
01:13:51,240 --> 01:13:54,880
Speaker 5: you personally as the great Special Teams player that you

1411
01:13:55,040 --> 01:13:59,839
Speaker 5: were affected games other than just being a great tackler

1412
01:14:00,160 --> 01:14:04,920
Speaker 5: on kick coverages. And it's just fun to hear all

1413
01:14:05,040 --> 01:14:08,120
Speaker 5: the different plays that you made over the years and

1414
01:14:08,479 --> 01:14:12,320
Speaker 5: why you truly do deserve to be in the Hall

1415
01:14:12,360 --> 01:14:14,800
Speaker 5: of Fame. And I'm not trying to blow smoke. I

1416
01:14:14,920 --> 01:14:18,200
Speaker 5: mean it's absolutely amazing and it was a pleasure to

1417
01:14:18,280 --> 01:14:23,160
Speaker 5: watch you play and real quick asking, mister Tasker, I've

1418
01:14:23,200 --> 01:14:26,880
Speaker 5: always wanted to ask you what your original plot was

1419
01:14:27,000 --> 01:14:29,760
Speaker 5: when you found out you were coming to Buffalo. Had

1420
01:14:29,760 --> 01:14:32,640
Speaker 5: you ever been to Western New York before that? And

1421
01:14:32,760 --> 01:14:35,519
Speaker 5: at what point in time did you decide this was

1422
01:14:35,600 --> 01:14:38,280
Speaker 5: your home and you decided you're never leaving again.

1423
01:14:38,120 --> 01:14:39,320
Speaker 7: And you made Buffalo your home.

1424
01:14:39,479 --> 01:14:41,680
Speaker 5: I've always wanted to ask you that for the time.

1425
01:14:41,760 --> 01:14:41,960
Speaker 2: Guys.

1426
01:14:42,040 --> 01:14:42,559
Speaker 3: Thanks Mark.

1427
01:14:42,680 --> 01:14:46,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, the original, the original reaction right when I found

1428
01:14:46,880 --> 01:14:48,560
Speaker 1: out I was going to be a Buffalo bill was

1429
01:14:49,400 --> 01:14:51,080
Speaker 1: first of all, I was like, I was surprised that

1430
01:14:51,160 --> 01:14:52,680
Speaker 1: any other team in the league knew that I was

1431
01:14:53,040 --> 01:14:56,760
Speaker 1: actually could even know my name. I got picked up

1432
01:14:56,760 --> 01:14:59,519
Speaker 1: buff waivers when the Oilers were going to pass me

1433
01:14:59,560 --> 01:15:01,800
Speaker 1: over waivers for twenty four hours and then signed me

1434
01:15:01,880 --> 01:15:03,479
Speaker 1: right back because they were gonna I was gonna start

1435
01:15:03,479 --> 01:15:06,400
Speaker 1: as a wide receiver for the Oilers that weekend because

1436
01:15:06,400 --> 01:15:08,600
Speaker 1: they had some injuries and I was getting healthy, and

1437
01:15:08,760 --> 01:15:12,000
Speaker 1: here we go, and then they passed me over waivers

1438
01:15:12,040 --> 01:15:13,920
Speaker 1: because that's the rule, the way the rules were back then.

1439
01:15:14,439 --> 01:15:18,680
Speaker 1: And I got picked up overnight, and I could not

1440
01:15:18,840 --> 01:15:20,640
Speaker 1: have found Buffalo on the map. I would have had

1441
01:15:20,680 --> 01:15:22,360
Speaker 1: to look for I wouldn't have known where to look.

1442
01:15:23,479 --> 01:15:25,599
Speaker 1: So that's how much I knew. I had never been

1443
01:15:25,640 --> 01:15:28,720
Speaker 1: here before. And it was my wife and I got it.

1444
01:15:28,800 --> 01:15:29,200
Speaker 3: I played.

1445
01:15:29,760 --> 01:15:31,560
Speaker 1: I played for eleven and a half seasons for the

1446
01:15:31,640 --> 01:15:37,439
Speaker 1: Bills out of my thirteen, and we knew we would

1447
01:15:37,439 --> 01:15:39,080
Speaker 1: be very happy here if we stayed. We didn't know

1448
01:15:39,080 --> 01:15:42,000
Speaker 1: if we would after I finished playing, but it turned

1449
01:15:42,000 --> 01:15:44,120
Speaker 1: out that that was it and that it was the

1450
01:15:44,200 --> 01:15:46,360
Speaker 1: right decision for us, and we never looked back. So

1451
01:15:46,960 --> 01:15:48,960
Speaker 1: it was our kids wanted to stay here. We had

1452
01:15:49,000 --> 01:15:52,240
Speaker 1: five children, they all wanted to live here. It was

1453
01:15:52,280 --> 01:15:53,960
Speaker 1: fine with us. We loved it here and we've been

1454
01:15:54,000 --> 01:15:56,040
Speaker 1: happy here ever since. So yeah, and thank you for

1455
01:15:56,160 --> 01:15:59,400
Speaker 1: the stuff you said about I know sometimes old guys

1456
01:15:59,520 --> 01:16:01,760
Speaker 1: like me people roll their eyes when we talk about

1457
01:16:01,760 --> 01:16:04,280
Speaker 1: the old days, and I get it. It's a long

1458
01:16:04,360 --> 01:16:07,120
Speaker 1: time ago, and this team is every bit is fun

1459
01:16:07,200 --> 01:16:09,000
Speaker 1: to talk about as anything we had to talk about

1460
01:16:09,040 --> 01:16:09,680
Speaker 1: back in the day too.

1461
01:16:10,080 --> 01:16:12,360
Speaker 2: But the reason we bound, the reason I bounced some

1462
01:16:12,439 --> 01:16:14,599
Speaker 2: of those questions off you on this show, is because,

1463
01:16:15,479 --> 01:16:18,120
Speaker 2: like a lot of that stuff still has relevance in

1464
01:16:18,200 --> 01:16:18,880
Speaker 2: the game now.

1465
01:16:19,439 --> 01:16:19,639
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1466
01:16:19,680 --> 01:16:21,200
Speaker 2: I was just talking to your last segment here with

1467
01:16:21,320 --> 01:16:24,040
Speaker 2: Maddy about you know the difference between being nine and

1468
01:16:24,160 --> 01:16:26,720
Speaker 2: seven and sprinting to get into the playoffs and where

1469
01:16:26,760 --> 01:16:29,080
Speaker 2: your brain is there as opposed to being thirteen and

1470
01:16:29,160 --> 01:16:31,040
Speaker 2: three division champs, top seed.

1471
01:16:30,880 --> 01:16:31,439
Speaker 3: And going to the play.

1472
01:16:31,479 --> 01:16:34,479
Speaker 2: It's different, but that stuff even back then, still holds

1473
01:16:34,520 --> 01:16:35,040
Speaker 2: true today.

1474
01:16:35,120 --> 01:16:37,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, the group dynamics, I don't think really ever change.

1475
01:16:39,120 --> 01:16:42,640
Speaker 1: A group of guys in the locker room working extremely

1476
01:16:42,800 --> 01:16:50,080
Speaker 1: hard to accomplish a group goal demands some some group

1477
01:16:50,240 --> 01:16:54,759
Speaker 1: dynamics to take place. Guys got to emerge as leaders.

1478
01:16:55,040 --> 01:16:57,800
Speaker 1: The guys got to join with them. The coaching has

1479
01:16:57,880 --> 01:17:01,320
Speaker 1: to be there, and you have to get your arms

1480
01:17:01,320 --> 01:17:03,439
Speaker 1: around everybody. Even if there's guys in your locker room

1481
01:17:03,479 --> 01:17:08,960
Speaker 1: who you don't like, you gotta you gotta get over it.

1482
01:17:09,600 --> 01:17:09,720
Speaker 5: Uh.

1483
01:17:10,920 --> 01:17:13,479
Speaker 3: I've I've extolled the virtues of.

1484
01:17:15,080 --> 01:17:19,280
Speaker 1: Team of tackle football as a as a lesson built

1485
01:17:19,280 --> 01:17:22,679
Speaker 1: as a life builder for young kids. I tell moms

1486
01:17:22,680 --> 01:17:24,200
Speaker 1: who asked me all the time, should I really let

1487
01:17:24,240 --> 01:17:27,360
Speaker 1: my son play tackle football? And I say, absolutely, let

1488
01:17:27,439 --> 01:17:31,799
Speaker 1: them play tackle football. Uh, they'll learn more from tackle football.

1489
01:17:33,560 --> 01:17:37,400
Speaker 1: The gift they get from what they learn is commensurate

1490
01:17:37,560 --> 01:17:40,479
Speaker 1: with whatever physical risk they're gonna be. And if you

1491
01:17:40,560 --> 01:17:43,160
Speaker 1: want to keep them safe, let them play up until

1492
01:17:43,240 --> 01:17:47,400
Speaker 1: the time they get to puberty. Then make them quit,

1493
01:17:47,840 --> 01:17:51,200
Speaker 1: because once they reach puberty everybody starts playing angry, right,

1494
01:17:51,520 --> 01:17:54,760
Speaker 1: all the boys starting, they start, Yeah, the hormones start going.

1495
01:17:55,080 --> 01:17:55,360
Speaker 3: Make them.

1496
01:17:55,439 --> 01:17:57,120
Speaker 1: Let them play up until then they'll still get a

1497
01:17:57,160 --> 01:17:58,600
Speaker 1: lot out of it. And then if if you can

1498
01:17:58,640 --> 01:18:00,040
Speaker 1: make them quit, if they want to quit, then and

1499
01:18:00,320 --> 01:18:00,880
Speaker 1: make let them.

1500
01:18:00,920 --> 01:18:01,160
Speaker 2: But I.

1501
01:18:02,800 --> 01:18:07,120
Speaker 1: Recommend the game because it whatever physical risk you might

1502
01:18:07,200 --> 01:18:09,800
Speaker 1: think there is, the kids are very little when they start,

1503
01:18:09,960 --> 01:18:11,680
Speaker 1: and the velocity is not what you'd think.

1504
01:18:11,760 --> 01:18:11,840
Speaker 3: Now.

1505
01:18:12,000 --> 01:18:16,000
Speaker 1: It's not that they're not going to get scraped, but

1506
01:18:16,040 --> 01:18:17,840
Speaker 1: they're going to learn the lesson of sometimes when you

1507
01:18:17,880 --> 01:18:20,040
Speaker 1: don't feel your best, you still want to go because

1508
01:18:20,200 --> 01:18:23,479
Speaker 1: you've got some really some friends and coaches and people

1509
01:18:23,560 --> 01:18:26,160
Speaker 1: you love who are depending on you. And they learn

1510
01:18:26,240 --> 01:18:29,120
Speaker 1: that at a young age playing football it's a valuable lesson.

1511
01:18:29,160 --> 01:18:31,519
Speaker 1: It's only one of a million that they'll learn doing it,

1512
01:18:32,240 --> 01:18:34,240
Speaker 1: and that part of that group dynamics that you learn

1513
01:18:34,240 --> 01:18:36,479
Speaker 1: as an eight year old carries through to when you're

1514
01:18:36,479 --> 01:18:40,840
Speaker 1: a thirty five year old all pro it sticks with

1515
01:18:40,960 --> 01:18:41,719
Speaker 1: you for a lifetime.

1516
01:18:42,560 --> 01:18:44,879
Speaker 2: Let's go to Bill in South Carolina.

1517
01:18:44,960 --> 01:18:46,000
Speaker 3: NEX, what do you got for us? Bill?

1518
01:18:47,640 --> 01:18:47,800
Speaker 6: Ai?

1519
01:18:47,960 --> 01:18:50,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, So not to get too ahead of ourselves, but

1520
01:18:50,560 --> 01:18:54,240
Speaker 7: I had three questions on the Super Bowl. Okay, if

1521
01:18:54,280 --> 01:18:58,920
Speaker 7: the Bills were to advance, would the Bills offer the lottery?

1522
01:18:59,080 --> 01:19:02,439
Speaker 7: Is that how they would offer tickets to season ticket holders?

1523
01:19:03,280 --> 01:19:03,519
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1524
01:19:03,640 --> 01:19:07,240
Speaker 1: Probably that's that's the way it's been a minute, but yeah,

1525
01:19:07,280 --> 01:19:10,040
Speaker 1: it would be some sort of ticket lottery with the

1526
01:19:10,080 --> 01:19:11,719
Speaker 1: season ticket hold holders.

1527
01:19:12,439 --> 01:19:12,639
Speaker 7: Yeah.

1528
01:19:13,520 --> 01:19:16,599
Speaker 1: And I saw I saw a thing that the tickets are,

1529
01:19:17,640 --> 01:19:20,280
Speaker 1: to say the least, pricey.

1530
01:19:22,280 --> 01:19:24,519
Speaker 7: Even even if you were to have your name selected

1531
01:19:24,560 --> 01:19:26,280
Speaker 7: from the lottery, they're still pricey.

1532
01:19:26,560 --> 01:19:32,599
Speaker 3: Very pricey. Okay, second question, Bill, I would well.

1533
01:19:32,640 --> 01:19:35,559
Speaker 7: The other two were if they had a if they

1534
01:19:35,600 --> 01:19:38,559
Speaker 7: were there, would they have a watch party at the stadium?

1535
01:19:38,600 --> 01:19:38,960
Speaker 9: Do you think?

1536
01:19:39,840 --> 01:19:41,160
Speaker 2: Hard to say right now, it's.

1537
01:19:41,080 --> 01:19:41,599
Speaker 3: A good idea.

1538
01:19:41,640 --> 01:19:44,719
Speaker 1: I know that the Bills alumni are having an an

1539
01:19:44,840 --> 01:19:50,120
Speaker 1: a watch party for something or other as a fundraiser

1540
01:19:51,200 --> 01:19:54,439
Speaker 1: at the Anchor Bar coming up. But yeah, they'll they'll

1541
01:19:54,520 --> 01:19:56,960
Speaker 1: have Yeah, you can bat ale that's going to take

1542
01:19:57,240 --> 01:20:01,160
Speaker 1: think he's absolutely, definitely, absolutely they'll do something like that.

1543
01:20:01,720 --> 01:20:04,320
Speaker 7: So the last the last question was if they were

1544
01:20:04,400 --> 01:20:07,639
Speaker 7: to win, what day do they typically have the parade?

1545
01:20:08,840 --> 01:20:11,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're usually during the week, just a couple of

1546
01:20:11,680 --> 01:20:14,760
Speaker 2: days Tuesday or Wednesday after the Super Bowl. It's very

1547
01:20:14,920 --> 01:20:17,639
Speaker 2: rarely any later than that because the player reason why

1548
01:20:17,760 --> 01:20:19,800
Speaker 2: is because the players all want to get back to

1549
01:20:19,880 --> 01:20:21,360
Speaker 2: their off season homes.

1550
01:20:22,200 --> 01:20:24,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, and like and like, you know, Jordan Phillips has

1551
01:20:24,800 --> 01:20:26,400
Speaker 1: got to go to which it taugh to have his parade.

1552
01:20:26,400 --> 01:20:28,439
Speaker 1: That He's right, He's going to have his own parade,

1553
01:20:29,680 --> 01:20:30,800
Speaker 1: which is fantastic.

1554
01:20:31,200 --> 01:20:31,479
Speaker 3: Love that.

1555
01:20:31,840 --> 01:20:34,200
Speaker 2: That is a great idea, isn't that capital idea?

1556
01:20:34,720 --> 01:20:34,840
Speaker 7: Uh?

1557
01:20:35,000 --> 01:20:37,799
Speaker 2: We do have to pivot to the post practice podium.

1558
01:20:38,240 --> 01:20:41,840
Speaker 2: You got one Khalil Shakir addressing the media, So let's

1559
01:20:41,880 --> 01:20:43,479
Speaker 2: go there now to see what his thoughts are on

1560
01:20:43,640 --> 01:20:45,200
Speaker 2: this game coming up against the Broncos.

1561
01:20:46,280 --> 01:20:48,920
Speaker 9: How did you just evaluate the state of mind?

1562
01:20:51,080 --> 01:20:53,880
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think we're just or one day at a time,

1563
01:20:53,920 --> 01:20:55,519
Speaker 10: one step at a time team. You know, we try

1564
01:20:55,600 --> 01:20:58,120
Speaker 10: not to look into the future. Obviously we know what

1565
01:20:58,240 --> 01:21:01,960
Speaker 10: t est eaate. Obviously you know it's playoffs. But you know,

1566
01:21:02,000 --> 01:21:03,640
Speaker 10: we're sticking to what we've been doing all year, you know,

1567
01:21:03,760 --> 01:21:07,560
Speaker 10: one step at a time, leaning into the preparation and

1568
01:21:07,640 --> 01:21:10,280
Speaker 10: the discipline and the fundamentals, all that stuff that's gotten

1569
01:21:10,360 --> 01:21:13,320
Speaker 10: us to this point. So you know, it's no no

1570
01:21:13,439 --> 01:21:14,439
Speaker 10: need to switch things up now.

1571
01:21:15,280 --> 01:21:17,439
Speaker 9: I have conversations, do you have any with you, like

1572
01:21:17,520 --> 01:21:20,640
Speaker 9: Kem Coleman, who's going to be playing in his first playoff.

1573
01:21:20,320 --> 01:21:21,080
Speaker 1: Game on Sunday.

1574
01:21:22,600 --> 01:21:24,920
Speaker 10: I mean, it's go time, right obviously, Like I just said,

1575
01:21:24,960 --> 01:21:27,200
Speaker 10: we try and keep it. You know everything, you know

1576
01:21:27,280 --> 01:21:30,320
Speaker 10: pretty mellow and what got us to this point. But

1577
01:21:31,280 --> 01:21:33,360
Speaker 10: I think everyone knows what's at stake, you know, playoffs,

1578
01:21:33,400 --> 01:21:35,400
Speaker 10: you just I guess you compare it to college, right,

1579
01:21:35,479 --> 01:21:37,960
Speaker 10: like a bowl game or something like that rivalry game.

1580
01:21:38,400 --> 01:21:41,360
Speaker 10: You know, the pressure kind of goes up a little

1581
01:21:41,400 --> 01:21:42,040
Speaker 10: bit and things like that.

1582
01:21:43,360 --> 01:21:46,000
Speaker 11: I'm sure he'll be all right, He'll be solid throughout

1583
01:21:46,040 --> 01:21:46,400
Speaker 11: the season.

1584
01:21:46,479 --> 01:21:48,800
Speaker 8: You guys are successful and on and it's not long

1585
01:21:48,880 --> 01:21:49,920
Speaker 8: s from a rout.

1586
01:21:50,439 --> 01:21:54,679
Speaker 2: In the past game here's been balanced running. How important

1587
01:21:54,720 --> 01:21:57,320
Speaker 2: is that in particular against a broad goes defense. That's

1588
01:21:57,400 --> 01:21:58,599
Speaker 2: good on all levels?

1589
01:21:59,400 --> 01:22:02,479
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean the more you can do right, try

1590
01:22:02,479 --> 01:22:04,160
Speaker 10: and keep it, try and be two dimensional, you know,

1591
01:22:04,200 --> 01:22:07,280
Speaker 10: that's something we talk about and excelling in both those

1592
01:22:07,320 --> 01:22:09,559
Speaker 10: areas as well. You know, so that's you know, whiteouts

1593
01:22:09,560 --> 01:22:11,280
Speaker 10: when when a run plays called, you know, blocking and

1594
01:22:11,320 --> 01:22:12,800
Speaker 10: giving it are all you know. When a pass place

1595
01:22:13,240 --> 01:22:15,120
Speaker 10: a pass plays called you know, getting to our spot

1596
01:22:15,600 --> 01:22:18,880
Speaker 10: in the details within everything, you know, So it's everybody

1597
01:22:19,000 --> 01:22:22,120
Speaker 10: really leaning into you know, run game in past game

1598
01:22:22,280 --> 01:22:25,080
Speaker 10: regardless if you're getting the bar, not unselfish play.

1599
01:22:25,160 --> 01:22:28,760
Speaker 2: You know, Patty talked a little bit about and kind

1600
01:22:28,760 --> 01:22:32,400
Speaker 2: of loop added to inside the locker right now, hiding

1601
01:22:32,479 --> 01:22:33,320
Speaker 2: him the pull season.

1602
01:22:34,160 --> 01:22:36,680
Speaker 3: You looking back, played a lot of these games, now,

1603
01:22:36,760 --> 01:22:37,479
Speaker 3: do you ring.

1604
01:22:37,280 --> 01:22:39,320
Speaker 8: Back to the first playoffs.

1605
01:22:41,560 --> 01:22:42,080
Speaker 2: And how.

1606
01:22:44,240 --> 01:22:46,880
Speaker 11: Yeah, I usually tried. I remember my first first playoff game.

1607
01:22:46,920 --> 01:22:49,800
Speaker 10: I was kind of like, honestly, for me, it was

1608
01:22:49,920 --> 01:22:52,120
Speaker 10: just like I was leaning on the older guys, you know, Staph,

1609
01:22:52,240 --> 01:22:53,960
Speaker 10: Gabe and those guys, and they were just like, you know,

1610
01:22:54,320 --> 01:22:56,840
Speaker 10: it's time to go, and my my role has you know,

1611
01:22:56,880 --> 01:22:59,719
Speaker 10: obviously expanded since then. So for me, it's just keeping

1612
01:22:59,840 --> 01:23:03,719
Speaker 10: you know, that same mentality, you know, just cool, chill,

1613
01:23:03,880 --> 01:23:05,680
Speaker 10: one step at a time, you know, don't look into

1614
01:23:05,720 --> 01:23:09,320
Speaker 10: the future, just continue to be me, you know, and

1615
01:23:09,439 --> 01:23:10,519
Speaker 10: that goes along with everybody.

1616
01:23:10,520 --> 01:23:10,640
Speaker 6: You know.

1617
01:23:10,720 --> 01:23:12,840
Speaker 10: We didn't get here by everybody acting out a character.

1618
01:23:12,960 --> 01:23:15,080
Speaker 10: You know, we got here by just being ourselves, every

1619
01:23:15,120 --> 01:23:17,840
Speaker 10: individual being themselves and playing for one another.

1620
01:23:18,000 --> 01:23:20,800
Speaker 9: So well, you can't ignore the pass rush that the

1621
01:23:20,880 --> 01:23:24,160
Speaker 9: Broncos have as an offense. What has to happen for

1622
01:23:24,280 --> 01:23:27,000
Speaker 9: you guys to to be able to compete against a

1623
01:23:27,080 --> 01:23:27,799
Speaker 9: pass rush.

1624
01:23:27,680 --> 01:23:28,080
Speaker 3: Like they have.

1625
01:23:28,960 --> 01:23:32,200
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think with that, I'm very very you know,

1626
01:23:32,280 --> 01:23:33,960
Speaker 10: we all are very very confident in our Old Line

1627
01:23:34,920 --> 01:23:36,920
Speaker 10: as well as you know, just our communication. I think

1628
01:23:36,960 --> 01:23:39,519
Speaker 10: that's got to be the biggest thing, just you know,

1629
01:23:39,840 --> 01:23:42,880
Speaker 10: communication with Josh, whether if we're involved or with the

1630
01:23:42,920 --> 01:23:44,920
Speaker 10: pass rush or anything. Just making sure that you know,

1631
01:23:44,960 --> 01:23:48,599
Speaker 10: we're locked into the details. And obviously that communication between

1632
01:23:48,600 --> 01:23:50,720
Speaker 10: the Old Line and Josh, and like I said, they've

1633
01:23:50,720 --> 01:23:52,360
Speaker 10: been great all year, so I'm confident in them.

1634
01:23:52,640 --> 01:23:55,040
Speaker 9: You said, he's been great all year. Josh spoke about

1635
01:23:55,040 --> 01:23:57,680
Speaker 9: it yesterday. The communication that the O Line has with

1636
01:23:57,800 --> 01:24:02,400
Speaker 9: tight ends with Josh, with everybody on offense. What strikes

1637
01:24:02,479 --> 01:24:05,120
Speaker 9: you about that communication this year that's different?

1638
01:24:06,200 --> 01:24:08,240
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think we just I think it's just more

1639
01:24:08,360 --> 01:24:12,040
Speaker 10: just the attention to details. You know, obviously you can communicate,

1640
01:24:12,080 --> 01:24:14,000
Speaker 10: but are you really you know, hearing somebody right? And

1641
01:24:14,080 --> 01:24:16,479
Speaker 10: I think that's something that we really leaned into this year,

1642
01:24:16,600 --> 01:24:18,240
Speaker 10: is as far as you know, or make sure that

1643
01:24:18,280 --> 01:24:20,320
Speaker 10: we're really you know, hearing one another, not in one

1644
01:24:20,360 --> 01:24:22,360
Speaker 10: ear out the other, you know, so just really paying

1645
01:24:22,360 --> 01:24:24,360
Speaker 10: attention to what every single person is saying in the

1646
01:24:24,400 --> 01:24:27,040
Speaker 10: communication aspect, that's you know, what needs to get done

1647
01:24:27,040 --> 01:24:29,479
Speaker 10: because we know if we're off, you know, the slightest bit,

1648
01:24:29,600 --> 01:24:30,519
Speaker 10: you know, the play could be off.

1649
01:24:30,560 --> 01:24:30,720
Speaker 6: You know.

1650
01:24:30,840 --> 01:24:33,160
Speaker 10: So I think everybody's just really you know, hearing each

1651
01:24:33,200 --> 01:24:36,320
Speaker 10: other and that goes into you know, just the execution

1652
01:24:36,400 --> 01:24:38,479
Speaker 10: throughout the week. You know, the practice days are huge

1653
01:24:39,280 --> 01:24:41,400
Speaker 10: with that communication, getting all the different looks that they

1654
01:24:41,479 --> 01:24:43,120
Speaker 10: show and make sure that we're ready to go.

1655
01:24:43,600 --> 01:24:47,040
Speaker 3: This offense has faced a good defense blacks off the season.

1656
01:24:47,560 --> 01:24:51,040
Speaker 3: What makes Hack just elite of the elite?

1657
01:24:52,080 --> 01:24:54,160
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean he's one of the best, if not

1658
01:24:54,760 --> 01:24:57,120
Speaker 10: the best, you know, guy in his in his position

1659
01:24:57,240 --> 01:25:00,120
Speaker 10: right now, you know, so uh man, I'm I mean

1660
01:25:00,160 --> 01:25:02,120
Speaker 10: he's just an all around, you know, really good player.

1661
01:25:02,640 --> 01:25:04,439
Speaker 10: You know, you have certain people who you know might

1662
01:25:04,479 --> 01:25:06,280
Speaker 10: be good in man and it might be good in zone.

1663
01:25:06,320 --> 01:25:08,640
Speaker 10: You know, he's all around. You know, it's almost like

1664
01:25:08,760 --> 01:25:10,840
Speaker 10: a you know, you build somebody, you know, you're building

1665
01:25:10,880 --> 01:25:12,000
Speaker 10: a perfect corner, you know, and.

1666
01:25:13,560 --> 01:25:15,840
Speaker 11: That's him, you know. So, uh, he's really good at

1667
01:25:15,840 --> 01:25:16,240
Speaker 11: what he does.

1668
01:25:16,479 --> 01:25:18,360
Speaker 10: We got to make sure that we we're definitely you know,

1669
01:25:18,439 --> 01:25:20,200
Speaker 10: on top of our a game when you know whoever's

1670
01:25:20,240 --> 01:25:22,720
Speaker 10: going up against him and making sure you know as

1671
01:25:22,760 --> 01:25:26,080
Speaker 10: well as obviously within the play, you know, doing what

1672
01:25:26,200 --> 01:25:27,200
Speaker 10: you need to do to get open.

1673
01:25:28,160 --> 01:25:31,639
Speaker 2: I know he going off that pad is a talented cornerback.

1674
01:25:31,680 --> 01:25:34,120
Speaker 2: But just the way you guys spread the ball around offensively,

1675
01:25:34,200 --> 01:25:37,120
Speaker 2: do you think that helps you offensively just knowing that

1676
01:25:37,439 --> 01:25:39,120
Speaker 2: you know, there's not just one guy that he can

1677
01:25:39,280 --> 01:25:42,000
Speaker 2: try to pick apart. He's got five different receivers and

1678
01:25:42,040 --> 01:25:43,559
Speaker 2: a couple of tight ass and running.

1679
01:25:43,360 --> 01:25:45,200
Speaker 8: Backs that come out of the backfield that can all make.

1680
01:25:45,080 --> 01:25:45,800
Speaker 3: Plays for you guys.

1681
01:25:45,920 --> 01:25:49,760
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think it's obviously he's one guy, so it's

1682
01:25:49,800 --> 01:25:51,560
Speaker 10: not like he can be in the same spot, you know,

1683
01:25:51,680 --> 01:25:53,040
Speaker 10: five different times on the same play.

1684
01:25:53,160 --> 01:25:55,719
Speaker 11: So I think definitely that helps.

1685
01:25:55,840 --> 01:25:58,360
Speaker 10: I think you know that that everybody eats mentality and

1686
01:25:58,439 --> 01:26:00,960
Speaker 10: what we've leaned into this year, it's definitely going to

1687
01:26:01,000 --> 01:26:01,639
Speaker 10: help us out a lot.

1688
01:26:01,720 --> 01:26:06,680
Speaker 2: So all right, that's Khalil Shakir kind of laying it out,

1689
01:26:06,720 --> 01:26:09,120
Speaker 2: And it's not that different from what Maddie was telling us.

1690
01:26:09,120 --> 01:26:11,080
Speaker 2: She was hearing from a lot of the players yesterday.

1691
01:26:11,960 --> 01:26:14,920
Speaker 2: Trust the process, focus on it, just like focus on

1692
01:26:15,000 --> 01:26:17,760
Speaker 2: this game, just like they did the previous seventeen and

1693
01:26:17,920 --> 01:26:21,200
Speaker 2: take care of their business while also preparing for what

1694
01:26:21,280 --> 01:26:23,360
Speaker 2: the opponent likes to throw at them. You got to

1695
01:26:23,439 --> 01:26:26,040
Speaker 2: take a break here, Steve and I will close things

1696
01:26:26,120 --> 01:26:28,120
Speaker 2: up in the final segment next on One Bill's Live

1697
01:26:28,200 --> 01:26:46,040
Speaker 2: presented by Cold of Health. It's Buffalo Bills Radio. All

1698
01:26:46,080 --> 01:26:49,200
Speaker 2: right back here on One Bill's Live. And wanted to

1699
01:26:50,880 --> 01:26:56,280
Speaker 2: basically wrap this up with you know, I just to

1700
01:26:56,439 --> 01:27:01,840
Speaker 2: echo what we were talking about with Maddie earlier. There's

1701
01:27:01,920 --> 01:27:04,200
Speaker 2: just this like quiet confidence, right.

1702
01:27:05,439 --> 01:27:07,160
Speaker 1: It does seem to be a little bit of a

1703
01:27:07,200 --> 01:27:11,720
Speaker 1: different vibe in the building this year, whether it's a

1704
01:27:11,840 --> 01:27:15,240
Speaker 1: looseness confidence whatever. And it maybe it is because they

1705
01:27:15,479 --> 01:27:18,600
Speaker 1: sow the division up five weeks ago. I think it

1706
01:27:18,640 --> 01:27:20,439
Speaker 1: has more to do with the confidence they show with

1707
01:27:21,120 --> 01:27:25,640
Speaker 1: I mean, this offense is a wagon and they know it.

1708
01:27:26,200 --> 01:27:28,640
Speaker 1: And they've got so many guys on the offense that

1709
01:27:29,240 --> 01:27:33,880
Speaker 1: know they're good. Their offensive line is cooking. They got

1710
01:27:34,680 --> 01:27:37,840
Speaker 1: six guys who feel like they could catch six touchdowns

1711
01:27:37,880 --> 01:27:39,320
Speaker 1: every game, you know what I mean. It's like one

1712
01:27:39,360 --> 01:27:41,599
Speaker 1: of those things, let's just give me the ball. If

1713
01:27:41,640 --> 01:27:43,320
Speaker 1: you don't, it's fine, but we're gonna go.

1714
01:27:43,479 --> 01:27:45,719
Speaker 3: Let's go. So They're all pulling in the same direction.

1715
01:27:46,000 --> 01:27:50,680
Speaker 2: And the defense knows that too, and that's why their

1716
01:27:50,760 --> 01:27:53,680
Speaker 2: mindset is, let's just get him a couple of extra possessions, right,

1717
01:27:53,880 --> 01:27:58,680
Speaker 2: And that's why getting turnovers just becomes almost manifest destiny in.

1718
01:27:58,720 --> 01:27:59,280
Speaker 3: A way, right.

1719
01:27:59,320 --> 01:28:03,080
Speaker 1: It becomes self fulfilling prophecy act. These guys believe it,

1720
01:28:03,160 --> 01:28:04,880
Speaker 1: and these go out and make it happen. It's a

1721
01:28:05,760 --> 01:28:08,639
Speaker 1: it has been. I've been calling it a recipe all season.

1722
01:28:08,760 --> 01:28:10,560
Speaker 1: But man oh man, they can cook it.

1723
01:28:11,400 --> 01:28:15,800
Speaker 3: This they are. They are more than a handful on

1724
01:28:15,920 --> 01:28:18,280
Speaker 3: offense to defend. We'll see.

1725
01:28:18,400 --> 01:28:20,639
