Speaker 1: every single one. Uh.

11
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 2: We often mention this. The five oh six is a

12
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:16,479
Speaker 2: website that lays out the US map and pretty much

13
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 2: in different colors, paints the portions of the country that

14
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 2: will get certain one o'clock games, certain four o'clock games,

15
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 2: and then obviously the primetime games everybody gets because their

16
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 2: standalone games. But there are only three games in the

17
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:36,479
Speaker 2: four o'clock window, one on Fox, Bill's Cowboys, two on CBS,

18
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 2: and the entire country is getting Bill's Cowboys, every last

19
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 2: one of you. So there you go.

20
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's yeah this you gotta watch this game, and

21
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: this is the game. Uh. And that's then I'll tell

22
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: you too, that's why they got it. At four to

23
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: twenty five. A lot of people think those primetime games

24
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: are the ones five Window gets absolutely monster numbers. Oh,

25
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 1: this game is going to monster numbers. This game is

26
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: going to crush. This game's going to get to fifty.

27
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 1: This game is Thanksgiving.

28
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,239
Speaker 2: Do you think the rating could get to fifty fifty million?

29
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 3: Like?

30
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:18,799
Speaker 2: No, like fifty. The rating is like the rating fifty.

31
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: Uh, there's a difference between the rating. The rating is

32
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: like fifty percent of the households will have it in on. Right,

33
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: that's the rating. The share the share, No, that's right.

34
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: The share is the percentage of households that have the

35
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: thing on. The rating is how many people are watching.

36
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: The rating might get to between thirty and fifty million.

37
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: The share might be forty.

38
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:48,799
Speaker 2: I think you can get to fifty.

39
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: You think you get to fifty? Fifty percent of the

40
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 1: televisions that are all in the country will get on.

41
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 2: I mean that's you know, people are people are traveling

42
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 2: back home, you're getting ready for the holidays.

43
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 1: Point.

44
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 2: A lot of college kids are farting around doing nothing.

45
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 2: I have I can vouch for that.

46
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,359
Speaker 1: I got a house for minor in college kids. Mine

47
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: are like working adults, and they're still got their feet company. Yeah,

48
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,799
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, yeah, yeah it might. I don't know.

49
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: All I know is you and me are gonna be

50
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:21,799
Speaker 1: tuned in. You're gonna be watching it and calling it.

51
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:23,119
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be sitting behind.

52
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 2: You about six rows, getting loud and screening.

53
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 1: Them all the live stats up, and I'll be standing up,

54
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: kicking my chair out from what are you doing now?

55
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: We'll be in the stadium. I'll I'll have at least

56
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: one cigar as a pre game, right, eat little something.

57
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: Oh god, I got a couple of stops. I make

58
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: out in the in the tailgate. In tailgate, I got

59
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: a couple of stops. I make out there. And then

60
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's inside and we're in the back

61
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: of the radio booth and then we're we're strapped in

62
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 1: it's uh and just for those of you don't, there's

63
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: a bunch of us and you know, we have our

64
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: little you know, our working group here. So I'm in

65
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: the back of the Brady booth and I'm listening to

66
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: Brownie and Eric Wood. I'm listening to their radio broadcast

67
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: on headphones. I'm you know, I can't hear them because

68
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: even though they're ten feet away from me. So I'm

69
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 1: standing there, I got that on. I'm listening to you.

70
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,799
Speaker 1: We got the TVs up there, We're watching the replays

71
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 1: and all of that. I don't know if I'll ever

72
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 1: be able to watch the game again like that without.

73
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 2: You are spoiled.

74
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: I am.

75
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 2: I don't think there's any question.

76
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: I am. I don't even know. I'm unapologetic about it.

77
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: I'm I tell people it. It's almost the seats in

78
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 1: the back. I've told people, and I said on the

79
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,719
Speaker 1: on the show, I've seen one hundred games on well

80
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 1: more than that, guys, a couple of hundred games on

81
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: the sidelines, like standing on the down marker where they're

82
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: like you can hear it and feel the feel, you

83
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 1: can feel the groundshake literally, And I've said, I've told people,

84
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 1: don't ever do that, because once you do, you're never

85
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,160
Speaker 1: gonna want to nothing. You'll measure it's going to do

86
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 1: it well. Sitting in the back of the radio booth,

87
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,799
Speaker 1: warm and toasty in December and listening to the headsets

88
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,239
Speaker 1: radio headsets and the home team. You know, your team's radio,

89
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 1: and that's not bad.

90
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 2: It's not bad to have some redeeming qualities.

91
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'm not gonna be like sal down there

92
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:17,720
Speaker 1: like a wet puppy.

93
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, the rain is moving in. Initially, the forecasts were

94
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:28,359
Speaker 2: saying rain at night, you know, so we were thinking, okay,

95
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 2: maybe the tail end of the game with it being

96
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 2: a four to twenty five start, would bring the rain.

97
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 2: Then yesterday that got moved up to about halftime, and

98
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 2: now the forecast is basically saying almost the entire game

99
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 2: could be rain soaked. Now, I'm not going to pretend

100
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 2: to know how hard it's going to rain, but one

101
00:05:53,000 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 2: of the latest forecasts says fifteen to eighteen mile per hours.

102
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:05,160
Speaker 2: That's hold on gusts up to thirty miles per hour,

103
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 2: chance of rain eighty percent high near fifty. So that's

104
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 2: enough win to impact the kicking game for sure, absolutely,

105
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 2: and potentially the passing game that going.

106
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: Towards the scoreboard, right, yeah, absolutely. Here's the thing to

107
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: going into the scoreboard in and the kickers. When you

108
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 1: get into the win game, crazy as it sound, the

109
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: one thing that really bothers you and the kicking game

110
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: is the long snap. If you're if you get backed

111
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: up into the scoreboard in and you gotta snap it

112
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: into that breathe the snap moves, So now Sam Martin's

113
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 1: got to not only stand back there, he's also got

114
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 1: a kick out the windows. Yeah, that the ball might

115
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 1: move a significant amount. And the snap when Reed Ferguson

116
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 1: snaps it back there. That's one of the bad things

117
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,839
Speaker 1: about it as well. Now the half snap, the short snaps,

118
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 1: the field goals, that is, they're usually okay because the

119
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: velocity stays there and it's download to the ground. But

120
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 1: man oh man. And the problem and the other thing

121
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 1: too is people say, wow, what about the punts. Yes,

122
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 1: you're right. In fact, in high Mark, it was my

123
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: experience that when you get into a game like this,

124
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: and we've had games like this before and I've commented

125
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: on it.

126
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Cardinals game, I remember, you may.

127
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: Not see a single kick fielded, not a single one.

128
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: Not one punt will be caught by either team. You're

129
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: staying away, just let it bounce, get away from it

130
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: because you can't adjust to it. Some of that might

131
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: be going on too, even the kickoffs. Just let it

132
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 1: go in the end zone. Will take a fair catch

133
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: it or whatever if you can if it's tumbling, but

134
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: you won't catch. You won't see either team field a punt,

135
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: and we've had games like that in the last year

136
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 1: or two.

137
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,679
Speaker 2: I remember Brian Mormon used to tell me on super

138
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 2: windy games that the ball would move over six inches

139
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 2: on the drop dropped it out of his hand to

140
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 2: kick it. Yeah, imagine trying to punt a ball and

141
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 2: it moves over six inches like you're worried about shanking

142
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 2: the thing.

143
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, and it's happened in the in the league.

144
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 1: I mean, Shaan Landetta famously missed whift on a punt. Yes,

145
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: that was the Chanago playoff game. Yeah again in the

146
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 1: Philly years. No, No, it was a Giants. He was punting.

147
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 2: Giants right, and Bill's it was Giants, Giants, Bears and

148
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 2: the Bears. I want to say, shut him out. It

149
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 2: was twenty one to nothing.

150
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 1: And Lindetta whiffed. He whiffed on the ball and h

151
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 1: he said he I remember hearing the interview afterwards. He

152
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: went to punt it dropped it and he just wasn't

153
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 1: there anymore. The well just moved. Dude. I don't think

154
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,599
Speaker 1: he's gonna get that bad this week. I hope. No.

155
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 2: Fifteen to eighteen is somewhat parking about it.

156
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 1: Worse like that scar the scartestion we had from the

157
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 1: win game against New England, Well, that was extreme. It's

158
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 1: forty mile an hour.

159
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 2: That was like sustain.

160
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 1: Yes, that was like the That was like Marv Levy's

161
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: first game as head coach. It was forty mile an hour.

162
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 1: Fifty mile hour. Gus was that the Cardinals game?

163
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 2: No, Well, the Cardinals game was bad too.

164
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:05,079
Speaker 1: The Cardinals game was night and yeah, I remember that

165
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: game a lot. We uh Rich Camerrio, the punter for

166
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,199
Speaker 1: the Cardinals, comes in having a Pro Bowl year early

167
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: in the year, but he is killing it, doing great.

168
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, because it was like an October game.

169
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: It wasn't it. It was early and it started to

170
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:24,199
Speaker 1: ice rain and from the scoreboard end into the tunnel

171
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: and they were coming from the tunnel out and they

172
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 1: snap the ball slippery. He drops the ball out of

173
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: his hands. I tackle him his sack strip fumble, pick

174
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: it up and start running and get tackled. So it's

175
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,199
Speaker 1: a turnover. They didn't even punt it. We got it.

176
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,079
Speaker 1: It was a sack strip fumble fifteen yards behind the

177
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage and we get the ball. Then later

178
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 1: he punts it again like in.

179
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 2: The fourth quarter. It looks like it hit a wall,

180
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 2: and yeah.

181
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 1: It's he downs it himself, it goes, he kicks it,

182
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 1: it comes back at him. I didn't know that buck.

183
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: He's yeah, he's r he's run, he's he's the ball

184
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,199
Speaker 1: go up, rich Sea, the ball go up, and he's

185
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: looking and all his guys are going to cover the kick,

186
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: because you know, he's he's a good kick, he's a

187
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 1: good punter. They're running to cover it lands behind all

188
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:11,839
Speaker 1: of them, starts coming back towards him. So he's like

189
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: sprinting up and sly and cover the ball. We get

190
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:19,439
Speaker 1: that one, then later we got that. Then we're punting.

191
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:24,679
Speaker 1: We're punting and Rick touton our punter that year for

192
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,199
Speaker 1: that one year, nineteen ninety, Rick Tuton's punt and he

193
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 1: had he was just kind of this this burly dude

194
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,559
Speaker 1: does a punter kind of and he was kind of

195
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 1: a maniac. He'd punt that thing and he'd step in.

196
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 1: He'd punt like seven thousand balls in warm up. He

197
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 1: just could punt, punt, punt, punt. Wow. So he comes

198
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 1: out and he he would punt that thing like side sideways,

199
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,439
Speaker 1: I mean like like kick his legs, you know, like

200
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 1: swing it sideways and he thinking helicopter out of there.

201
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 1: So he hits one of those and things like tumbling

202
00:10:55,600 --> 00:11:00,079
Speaker 1: all wacky and vaissey kahema, yeah, glances off his he

203
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 1: can't he's gonna catch it, and he's going. It gets

204
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,319
Speaker 1: about ten feet above his head and he's like, oh boy,

205
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,679
Speaker 1: get me out of here. He starts to duck it,

206
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 1: tries to bail, bounces off his helmet, and I jump

207
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 1: on it and we get the they It was a mess,

208
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:19,239
Speaker 1: and it was like icy rain. It was. It was miserable.

209
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 1: It was miserable.

210
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:22,839
Speaker 2: I don't think it's gonna be It's not gonna be

211
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 2: like freezing rain here on Sunday because it's gonna be

212
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:29,199
Speaker 2: fifty degrees so that's a difference. Make the wind will

213
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 2: make it feel all colder.

214
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 1: But he get wet. It's gonna be cold where water Folks,

215
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,079
Speaker 1: you gotta wear waterproof stuff and a layer up. Well

216
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 1: you'll know this. I don't have to tell the mafia anything,

217
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 1: but yeah, this is gonna be a Yiki weather day.

218
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 1: But it's not gonna be Maybe it might not even

219
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:48,719
Speaker 1: be one of those games where you think back and

220
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 1: remember it was a cruddy day. You know what I mean.

221
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:52,679
Speaker 1: It's gonna be bad weather. It's not gonna be like

222
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be like the Indianapolis Colt snow game,

223
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 1: you know, or any of the wind game or any

224
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: of that other stuff. But it's gonna be.

225
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:08,439
Speaker 2: Speaking of Sunday's game, it's presented by ECMC. ECMC bringing

226
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 2: Hope and Healing to Western New York. Here this week's

227
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 2: game sponsor against the Cowboys. So happy to have him aboard.

228
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 2: We also want to bring you Bill's practice updates, presented

229
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 2: by Lee coom your Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine.

230
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:27,079
Speaker 2: And really nothing is terribly new. We knew it was

231
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 2: trending in this direction and head coach Sean McDermott confirmed

232
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 2: it earlier this morning. Aj Epinessa and Micah Hyde both

233
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 2: ruled out for the game on Sunday, so that means

234
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 2: that Taylor Rap will be starting, and it presumably means

235
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 2: von Miller will get most of aj Epeness's snaps. And

236
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,199
Speaker 2: then another player who figures to be active in the

237
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 2: absence of Epinessa, Kingsley Jonathan, the second year defensive end

238
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 2: out of Syracuse who I think has a promising future

239
00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 2: in front of him. He's got some rare physical try

240
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 2: traits that allows him to really bend the edge like

241
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 2: you need a defensive end to do, especially one of

242
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 2: his size. I'm hoping he gets some rotational reps.

243
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 1: Watching Kingsley and we've had conversations Brownie and I about Kingsley. Jonathan.

244
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 1: I think he's really intriguing. We've seen him do every

245
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:16,679
Speaker 1: once and so he's one of those guys every once

246
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: in a while you think, hey, did you just see that?

247
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:22,559
Speaker 1: You know kind of thing on a consistent basis. That's

248
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: the question. Can he do it a lot? Can and

249
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 1: can he hold up in every aspect of a defensive

250
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 1: ends responsibility? Can he set the edge? Can he take

251
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: on a pulling guard? Can he chase it from behind?

252
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 1: Can he do all this other stuff In the run game,

253
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:37,679
Speaker 1: we know he's learning fast with great tutors around him

254
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: on how to rush the passer, great athlete. We'll see

255
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: if he gets some snaps this weekend, he may be

256
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 1: up and be inactive, but we don't know.

257
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 2: Well, he does play on special teams, so you know,

258
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 2: at the very least he would do that if he's

259
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:51,680
Speaker 2: active on games.

260
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 1: He's that kind of athlete.

261
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 2: Yes he is, so I just hope he gets you know,

262
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:57,679
Speaker 2: even if he gets fifteen snaps at end, I'd like

263
00:13:57,720 --> 00:13:59,320
Speaker 2: to see him get some action. I think he could

264
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 2: help in that regard. Not to mention the fact that

265
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:04,680
Speaker 2: the Cowboys have like zero film on him. They don't

266
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 2: know what's coming, so I think that could play into

267
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 2: an advantage for him as well. So Hide and Epinessa down.

268
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 2: That means Taylor Rapp probably starts, Von Miller probably gets

269
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 2: Epinessa's snaps, and then we're waiting for the official status

270
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 2: of tight end Dalton Kincaid and nickel corner tarn Johnson,

271
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 2: who have both been limited all week in practice. Dalton

272
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 2: Kincaid also wearing a red non contact jersey, so there's

273
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 2: that as well. You need Tarren Johnson with Ceedee Lamb

274
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 2: lining up in the slot as much as he does.

275
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 2: Terren's a gamer. You hope his ankle responds well enough

276
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 2: where he'll be able to play on Sunday, and then

277
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 2: Kincaid has been dealing with thumb and shoulder injuries, so

278
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 2: hopefully he can. He said his thumb isn't a big deal.

279
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 2: He didn't really give much information on his shoulder when

280
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 2: he met the media earlier this week, but hopefully he'll

281
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 2: be okay to go as well on Sunday. And the

282
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 2: other interesting note about hide and epinessa is coach McDermott

283
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 2: was asked, is IR a possibility for either of them?

284
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 2: Because you only have four regular season games left. If

285
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 2: you don't think either one of them is going to

286
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 2: get back, you know, IR might be an option there.

287
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 2: So you can bring a healthy player up right and.

288
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 1: Give them a chance to just because concert of getting health,

289
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 1: and then the playoffs come you can pop them back

290
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 1: up right.

291
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 2: So he said that they haven't crossed that bridge yet.

292
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 2: It is a consideration, he said. If one of those

293
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 2: two players does go on IR, he said Micah Hyde

294
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 2: is more likely to be the one. So we'll just

295
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 2: have to wait and see on that because it seems

296
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 2: as though it's in a holding pattern right now, which

297
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 2: leads me to believe they want to see how Micah

298
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 2: Hyde responds in the coming days here to see if

299
00:15:55,800 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 2: IR is a more prudent designation for him on the roster.

300
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 2: So those are your practice updates presented by your Lake

301
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 2: Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine. And quickly we go around

302
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 2: the NFL here because there is some big news after

303
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 2: last night's sixty three to twenty one drubbing of the

304
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 2: Chargers at the hands of the Raiders and around the NFL,

305
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 2: presented by Kalida Healthy, official healthcare system of the Buffalo Bills.

306
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 2: Not only did head coach Brandon Staley get fired, but

307
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 2: so too did GM Tom Telesco. It was a house

308
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 2: cleaning by the Chargers this morning, and the owner of

309
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 2: the team, deem Spanos, did release a statement, and I'm

310
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 2: going to pull it up here real quick, so I

311
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 2: just read it in full, because I think a lot

312
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 2: of people thought Staley would lose his job, but seeing

313
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 2: Tom Tellsco, who by the way, is a Western New

314
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 2: York native who's his position after eleven years, was surprising

315
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 2: as well. So I'm hold on a second. I'm trying

316
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 2: to get a hold of it. I was prepared, and

317
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:09,200
Speaker 2: then my scroll scrolled up on me here on social media,

318
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 2: and now I do not have it. So I'll get

319
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 2: it back when we have a chance, maybe in one

320
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 2: of the shorter segments a little bit later on, but

321
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:20,399
Speaker 2: basically he said they need a new vision for the

322
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 2: team and he felt that this move was necessary. Didn't

323
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:32,439
Speaker 2: think it was great, you know, based on how they

324
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:34,880
Speaker 2: performed now that this was their first game without Justin

325
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:38,880
Speaker 2: Herbert from start to finish. And I think the biggest

326
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 2: thing that was probably the problem in the eyes of

327
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:45,399
Speaker 2: the ownership the Chargers, Steve didn't even look competitive. They

328
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 2: did not like it, didn't even look like they wanted

329
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 2: to be there.

330
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,479
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, and then too as well. I mean there

331
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 1: was the defense had a bunch of scores. You see

332
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 1: here the sack strip, fumble recovery and run it in

333
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:04,159
Speaker 1: for a touchdown to go up fifty six to seven,

334
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 1: and then a one handed pickoff there. It was unbelievable

335
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 1: play there. It was. It was really. I mean the

336
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 1: Raiders not only they they played really well last night

337
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:19,880
Speaker 1: after getting embarrassed they scored nothing last week, they scored nothing,

338
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:25,399
Speaker 1: lost three to and they absolutely showed up in a

339
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: big way and drubbed the Chargers. And you know, Antonio

340
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 1: Pierce's group, he was he was not taking his foot

341
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:36,120
Speaker 1: off the gas either.

342
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:40,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, he he was. He was asked about it after that.

343
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,119
Speaker 1: He's trying to win it. He wants to stay man,

344
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 1: Antonio Piers, he got he's interim right, you know.

345
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 2: He also said we also scored zero last week. So

346
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:51,119
Speaker 2: the last thing I was gonna do is tell these

347
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 2: guys to stop scoring.

348
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:57,679
Speaker 1: Right right, And they didn't all the way to sixty

349
00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 1: three points.

350
00:18:58,520 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 4: Yeah.

351
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:03,920
Speaker 1: Wow, So that eight different guys score touchdown eight right,

352
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 1: eight different guys scored a touchdown. Think about that. Yeah,

353
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:10,400
Speaker 1: I think it was the first time in a while

354
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 1: they had like six guys, five or six guys going

355
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 1: double digits in fantasy's points. I mean, they were just

356
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:18,360
Speaker 1: imagine about.

357
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:19,719
Speaker 2: This game last night was like a video game.

358
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 1: You're taking You're taking the under all day on that.

359
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:25,200
Speaker 1: The Raiders couldn't score a point against who was it

360
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 1: Minnesota and the Chargers, Chargers don't have their quarterback. You're

361
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:31,680
Speaker 1: thinking this game is going to be three to nothing. Again,

362
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 1: you wouldn't be called four points.

363
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 2: It would not be illogical to think that. But yeah,

364
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 2: that's how it turned out. And Brandon Staley is now

365
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,160
Speaker 2: the third coach in the league that did not get

366
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 2: to the end of the season. He joins Frank Reich

367
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:55,879
Speaker 2: and Josh McDaniels as coaches who did who got the

368
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 2: acts dropped on him before the end of the regular season.

369
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 2: So all, we're not even at the end of the

370
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:04,359
Speaker 2: season and already three coaching jobs will be open. At

371
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:06,920
Speaker 2: the end of the year. It usually averages five to six.

372
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:08,639
Speaker 2: We're halfway there already.

373
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:13,880
Speaker 1: Frank Wright, Josh McDaniels, who the Raiders fired about two

374
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 1: months ago, and of now it's Brandon Staley.

375
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, we have a jam packed schedule today. Not only

376
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:25,479
Speaker 2: do we have senior producer from NFL Films, Greg Cosell

391
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 2: about your group chat with the crew. Have there ever

392
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 2: been chats with the guys about how all of you

393
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 2: would do if your team played in today's game, or

394
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 2: how individuals would match up today? If you have, could

395
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 2: you tell us those stories?

396
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's always it's funny. They the old guys like

397
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 1: you know, Bruce, Jim Thurman, Andre James Lofton, Will Woolford.

398
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:42,959
Speaker 1: It's interesting to hear him talk about because they got

399
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 1: a lot of respect for the guys that play today.

400
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 1: Don't kid yourself.

401
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 4: They do.

402
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:47,639
Speaker 1: But I know this too. I mean, you get a

403
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:49,640
Speaker 1: guy like Bruce Smith with two hundred sacks, he could

404
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:53,160
Speaker 1: get a sack on just about anybody even in today's.

405
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 2: Game, and he's not lacking in confidence.

406
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right. And I'll say this to a lot.

407
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 1: I've heard him say, they compare how it is now

408
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 1: with what it was like then, and they've I've never

409
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:09,919
Speaker 1: really heard anybody go, yeah, they couldn't hang with us

410
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 1: or anything like that, or we could play that. They say,

411
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:14,639
Speaker 1: this is how it was when we played remember, and

412
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 1: we say, yeah, you know what we used to do?

413
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 1: It differently. I say this, you think about a gay

414
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:21,879
Speaker 1: a team like the old Buffalo Billy Gym and Thurman

415
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 1: and Andre like in the nineteen ninety ninety one season

416
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 1: when they were at their peak, to play against a

417
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 1: team today like this, this Cowboy team coming in or

418
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 1: even this Buffalo Bills team, I don't know how it

419
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 1: would go. Would you? And here's another thing too, that

420
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:39,159
Speaker 1: not for nothing, whose rules do you play under? Do

421
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 1: you protect the quarterbacks like you did back then? Or

422
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 1: are you? Are you not? Are you playing in the

423
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,159
Speaker 1: nineties rules? You know where you can land on the

424
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:50,120
Speaker 1: quarterback where you can mess them up. Certainly Josh could

425
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,400
Speaker 1: probably stand up to the punishment that they dished out

426
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,439
Speaker 1: back then. I don't know that all the quarterbacks these

427
00:22:55,520 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 1: days could. It's a I thought this though, when when

428
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 1: the question was asked. I'd pay money to see that

429
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,879
Speaker 1: Jim and Thurman and Bruce team play some of the

430
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,920
Speaker 1: teams and I'd pay money to see it. Yeah, I'd

431
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:13,119
Speaker 1: pay money to see that like.

432
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 2: The greatest show on turf team?

433
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, how would that team? Do you know?

434
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 2: I'd like to see some of those teams play. I

435
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,639
Speaker 2: thinks that's right. It went sixteen and.

436
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 1: All that's right. I like to see some of those

437
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:29,160
Speaker 1: teams play because it's an it's an evolution. The game

438
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 1: that I played as a as a Buffalo bill in

439
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 1: the nineties was vastly different than the nineteen sixties AFL

440
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 1: Championship teams. I mean, they, like I keep telling you,

441
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 1: it was a bar fight. It was a half a

442
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 1: step above a bar fight. In the sixties nineties, it

443
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 1: was a little bit smoother, and they you know, they

444
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,440
Speaker 1: didn't let guys bill out of a quarterback. Yeah, you

445
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 1: couldn't head slap guys. You could still cut block men.

446
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,160
Speaker 1: You could peel back and get blind side blocks on guys.

447
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,680
Speaker 1: You can't do that now. You could overload on punt

448
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:59,120
Speaker 1: rushes and kick kick coverages, you got a running start

449
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,880
Speaker 1: on kickoffs. All that stuff was still up in the air.

450
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 1: And now you know, Bruce isn't hurting anybody coming in

451
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 1: off the edge. If he hits them, he can't land

452
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 1: on him, you know. And although he's still tough to block.

453
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 1: It's really interesting to see and certainly, as you would

454
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:21,400
Speaker 1: think any of those guys that I played with, even

455
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 1: from thirty years ago, would be physically able to hang

456
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 1: in and make and be play well and play well

457
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 1: in today's game. Some you know, athleticism and ability is

458
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 1: I think transcendent and certainly commitment that those guys had.

459
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:38,399
Speaker 1: I think it's really fun converse that's white. You know,

460
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 1: it's one of the best things about sports. Would Michael

461
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 1: Jordan have six championships if he played now? You know,

462
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 1: I think one of the things that makes a guy

463
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,399
Speaker 1: like Lebron James different. He was also a GM. I mean,

464
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 1: he's like, I want you and you and you, and

465
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 1: we're gonna go over here and we're gonna play together.

466
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 1: Let's go. We're gonna go to South Beach. Let's go,

467
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, yeah, that's a different aspect of

468
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:01,920
Speaker 1: a guy's career. You didn't you did a little of that.

469
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 1: But that group that I'm talking about back in the

470
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 1: nineties came together just before and right as free agency

471
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:17,680
Speaker 1: became a thing. That evolution took some time for teams

472
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 1: to get and for the players to understand their leverage

473
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 1: and to you know, is it a good thing? Is

474
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 1: it about should I leave? Should I stay? Should?

475
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 5: You know?

476
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:30,200
Speaker 1: They didn't have the experience of watching guys go through

477
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:36,119
Speaker 1: that process year after year after year. So guys like Bruce,

478
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 1: and I know that Bruce would have had. If Bruce

479
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:40,639
Speaker 1: had a lever, he knew how to he knew how

480
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:45,879
Speaker 1: to get the left. He use that leverage. Jim two Thurman,

481
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 1: I think it's really intriguing to see think about what

482
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:50,920
Speaker 1: those old guys. I say, old guys, the guys from

483
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 1: the past at their best, how they would have played

484
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 1: against guys today. I've said it before. The nineteen ninety

485
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 1: Super Bowl team had half half the men in the

486
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 1: National Football League that were listed as three hundred pounds

487
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 1: or more. There were seven in the entire league. Three

488
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:12,360
Speaker 1: of them started on the Bills offensive.

489
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:14,879
Speaker 2: Line, right, And now if they played now, they'd be

490
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 2: going up against guys the same size as them.

491
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, every team's got seven guys, let alone the entire league. Right,

492
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 1: And it was at the and it was a post

493
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:28,879
Speaker 1: it was just post the steroid era as well, So

494
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:33,399
Speaker 1: guys were still trying to maximize their physical frame and

495
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 1: get the right amount of lean and fat and weight

496
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 1: and strength and flexibility with the nutrition and the training,

497
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 1: training techniques, all of that stuff. But for the most part,

498
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:49,719
Speaker 1: to answer the question, yes, they do make comparisons as

499
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:52,680
Speaker 1: to mostly not about the players. It's about the game.

500
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 1: That's I think the interesting part about it. They say,

501
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 1: well why do they You know I wish I was

502
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 1: you know, I could have Bruce played nineteen years or

503
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 1: twenty years. Yeah, he's he's got to be thinking I

504
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 1: could have played another three you know, he could have

505
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 1: played more. Thurman, same thing.

506
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 2: I don't know if you wanted after twenty that's right.

507
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:18,359
Speaker 1: But nevertheless, that's a haul man. The numbers are what

508
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:20,679
Speaker 1: they are, and nobody's I don't think anybody's ever going

509
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 1: to touch Bruce and his numbers. Thurman. You go back

510
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 1: and watch those games, and it's not the same Thurman.

511
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 1: Thomas ran the ball and took every hit, took every tackle,

512
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 1: picked up every blitzer, passed pro inside the tackles, split

513
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 1: out wide as a receiver. He did all of that

514
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 1: stuff and never came off the field until.

515
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 2: He was well we win? Did We talked about it

516
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:49,399
Speaker 2: the other day on our podcast, Bills by the Numbers,

517
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:53,680
Speaker 2: and I was doing trivia questions for you in the

518
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 2: numbers game and Thurman Thomas was the answer. And he

519
00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 2: had three hundred and fifteen carries one year, Yeah, three

520
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 2: fifteen Yeah, And what did he have eight straight seasons

521
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 2: of one thousand yards.

522
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean three hundred and fifteen and sixteen games,

523
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 1: how about that? So it's it's it's a different way,

524
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:14,920
Speaker 1: it's a different landscape. And I'll say this too, I

525
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:17,879
Speaker 1: love those guys and they'd probably agree with me. The

526
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 1: game's better now because they don't force guys like that,

527
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:25,720
Speaker 1: you know, longer careers, and they let more guys contribute.

528
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 1: Kenny Davis was a great back love and you know

529
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:30,239
Speaker 1: he had more to get, but he's standing over there

530
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 1: watching Thurman play. And I get that, but you need

531
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:35,199
Speaker 1: you if you can contribute to fresh legs and keep

532
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 1: those guys in that rotation. The level of play on

533
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 1: the field that Jimoke's like me are watching now is

534
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:47,239
Speaker 1: raised exponentially because you've got fresh guys who are very

535
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 1: good contributing on a regular basis instead of standing over

536
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 1: there and getting three snaps a game.

537
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 2: So that is excuse me, mister Tasker. Congrats to Andy

538

566
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 6: Hi, guys, I was watching ESPN Get Up this morning.

567
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 5: Okay.

568
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 6: One guy on there says that Dallas will not punt

569
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 6: the ball. They will run up and down the fields

570
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 6: on Buffalo. Well, I'll tell you what. I hope to

571
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 6: day kick forty points Buffalo, put forty points on the field,

572
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 6: and I want to wish you a Chris Merry Christmas

573
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 6: from me and Dorothy.

574
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 2: All Right, Well, thank you Bob and Dorothy for those

575
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 2: Christmas wishes. Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas to you as well.

576
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 5: Yeah.

577
00:30:55,960 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 2: That was Mike Tannenbaum, former Jets GM who is convinced

578
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 2: that Dallas is gonna wipe the floor with the Bills.

579
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 2: He says that the Cowboys will not punt the entire game.

580
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 1: Yeah. He also said he thinks Josh Allen will have

581
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 1: more turnovers than touchdowns. So we'll see.

582
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 2: Keep the bulletin board material coming, Just keep feeding it

583
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 2: to me. We'll be happy to pass it along.

584
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 1: It's yeah, it's true. I mean Mike Greenberg, who is

585
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 1: the ESPN host host of Get Up. He has been

586
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 1: on the Josh bandwagon of late yeah and gone out

587
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 1: of his way to make sure people know just how

588
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 1: good Josh has been playing for the Bills. And this

589
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 1: came up, yes, and Greenie was going crazy over it.

590
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 1: And so there is one person on that show who

591
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 1: does believe at least in Josh Allen, if not the

592
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. And we you know, we here in Buffalo

593
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 1: who have a certain vintage like Brownie and I guys,

594
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 1: you know those fans who lived through that entire drought

595
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 1: season era, We know what it's like to be an

596
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 1: afterthought in a league that's front page news every day.

597
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 1: And it's it's not it's not unusual, right, I mean,

598
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 1: it's we've seen it several times before.

599
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 2: Although and look, I know Tannenbaum had success when he

600
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 2: was the GM of the Jets because it was during

601
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 2: that Rex Ryan era when they went to two AFC

602
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 2: title games, lost both of them. But to me, he

603
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 2: is not the quintessential picture of being the authority on

604
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 2: what's going on in the league today. Forgive me. So

605
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 2: I take his comments with a grain of salt, but hey,

606
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 2: we'll take the bulletin board material just keep it coming.

607
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 2: We'll we'll we'll post it accordingly where it needs to

608
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 2: be posted. So anything that helps.

609
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 1: Happy to take it. That's right.

610
00:32:55,920 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 2: So that's that eight oh three five two five fifty.

611
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 2: Then number to get on board as it is an

612
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 2: obl fan Friday mail bag, and we'll catch up with

613
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 2: our legend of the game in just a bit here

614
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 2: as we'll track him down. Our crack staff is at

615
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 2: it as we speak. But in the meantime we'll go

616
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 2: to the OBL Friday fan mail bag and Steph leads

617
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 2: us off with the following. Can we have a few

618
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:30,200
Speaker 2: phone calls from fans who are grateful we aren't the

619
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 2: Chargers or the Jets. Thank you for all you do.

620
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 2: My question is what kind of deep breathing exercises can

621
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:39,840
Speaker 2: we do as a fan base when it's two tense

622
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 2: at the end of games. I'm not a yogi, so

623
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 2: I can't really help you with the breathing exercises, but

624
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 2: I understand the sentiment. A lot of games this year

625
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 2: have been filled with a lot of drama, both on

626
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 2: the good side and the bad side, and the games

627
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 2: come down to the end. And while that might be

628
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 2: what the NFL League office would like to see every

629
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:06,240
Speaker 2: single week. It's putting a lot of stress on the

630
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:10,320
Speaker 2: hearts of Bills fans, and they already have plenty of

631
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:12,839
Speaker 2: it in their lockers, you know what I mean.

632
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, the best thing to do is to embrace it

633
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:18,399
Speaker 1: and try and look forward to it. I know it's thanks.

634
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:20,360
Speaker 1: You don't know what's gonna happen, but be you know,

635
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 1: be invigorated by the challenge. That's the best way to

636
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:27,520
Speaker 1: go about it. Just have total confidence that your team's

637
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 1: gonna do it. This team doesn't get beat badly ever,

638
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:33,400
Speaker 1: they're going to be in it to the end. I

639
00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 1: anticipate this Dallas game is going to be another at

640
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 1: most when it's all said and done, it'll be an

641
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 1: eight point game or less. And that's where you're gonna live. Yeah,

642
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 1: you got to enjoy it. Why you can't, I was

643
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 1: telling Brown, these are the weeks that you got to remember.

644
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 1: These are this is what we sign up for. Is

645
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 1: what you hope for?

646
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 4: It?

647
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 1: You know you want to this is you know, week fifteen,

648
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:01,880
Speaker 1: it's week fifteen. We're and we're like neck deep in

649
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:04,200
Speaker 1: the thick of it. Let's go, you know, So be

650
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:06,279
Speaker 1: happier in that spot and not just saying, well, I

651
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:08,239
Speaker 1: wonder if we can find about some of the out

652
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:10,279
Speaker 1: about some of the young players we know, if they

653
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:12,759
Speaker 1: can play next year. You know, we we lived in

654
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:14,239
Speaker 1: that reality for a long while.

655
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:18,480
Speaker 2: I'm good there. Yeah, I've had my quota. Happy to

Speaker 4: How are you?

669
00:35:56,920 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 2: We're doing great? It's funny because you know, I watched

670
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 2: most of your career covered it as well, and I

671
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 2: was reminded because I was looking up your numbers. I

672
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:10,279
Speaker 2: wanted to see if I could remember your number of

673
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 2: points with the Bills and I got at oneenty eleven.

674
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:15,680
Speaker 2: But then I was also reminded that you are a

675
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 2: William and Mary guy, just like the head coach here,

676
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 2: Sean McDermott, and your Hall of Fame head coach obviously,

677
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:22,400
Speaker 2: Marv Leaving. Pretty crazy.

678
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:27,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, we like to call ourselves the ultimate football factory.

679
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:33,879
Speaker 3: There's only a few of us floating around, but yeah,

680
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 3: we were a pretty tight knit group for a small

681
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:40,319
Speaker 3: school like that, and obviously we've been able to put

682
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:44,439
Speaker 3: quite a few effective head coaches and coaches in the league,

683
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 3: so that's been pretty neat to watch.

684
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:47,480
Speaker 1: Absolutely, when do you get When do you get in

685
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:50,839
Speaker 1: town for the festivities on Sunday? I am here.

686
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 3: I'm at the roy crofton and East Aurora in your

687
00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 3: neck of the woods, Steve and.

688
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:58,319
Speaker 1: Well, I'll have a week and have a pop after

689
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:00,960
Speaker 1: the show, I'll come over. I knew you were going

690
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:05,839
Speaker 1: to say that I'm a predictable If nothing right, right,

691
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 1: that's great, that's great, So give it. Give us an

692
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:10,920
Speaker 1: idea how this you know? I know that you've been

693
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:13,160
Speaker 1: you come back on a regular basis. You're one of

694
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:16,279
Speaker 1: the guys who does spend some time in Western New York.

695
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 1: You come back and you go to games on a

696
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:21,759
Speaker 1: regular I see around so much. What what do you

697
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:25,200
Speaker 1: notice about what's going on with this team? Their run

698
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 1: of the playoffs was it? You know, what do you

699
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:28,920
Speaker 1: equate this with maybe in some of the things that

700
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:30,240
Speaker 1: we went through in your career.

701
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 3: Well, you know, I think everybody is somewhat surprised about

702
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 3: where we are right now in this season. Every team,

703
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 3: as you know, has so much hype at camp. You know,

704
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 3: every team is going to go to the super Bowl.

705
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:45,879
Speaker 3: But you know, this team has really had a great run.

706
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:48,680
Speaker 3: And yeah, I think we had some up.

707
00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:50,920
Speaker 4: We had some up. We were upset you know a

708
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 4: few times this year.

709
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:54,840
Speaker 3: I mean we went to London, We're at the Jags

710
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 3: game and you know, shaking our heads like everyone else,

711
00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:00,480
Speaker 3: you know, after that one, and the New England game,

712
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 3: and obviously the opener against the Jets. I mean, we've

713
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 3: had some games that we didn't anticipate those results. But

714
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 3: at the end of the day, you know, you go

715
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 3: back and you look at the Kansas City game, that

716
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:11,919
Speaker 3: was a must win for us. I think this game

717
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:14,920
Speaker 3: this weekend against Dallas is another must win. We have

718
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 3: to keep the momentum going, you know, we come up

719
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:21,120
Speaker 3: with these roadblocks and you know, we have a knack

720
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 3: of overcoming and we're gonna have to do it again

721
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:26,920
Speaker 3: Sunday to keep us in the hunt. And as you

722
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:29,440
Speaker 3: guys talk about it every day, but you know, look

723
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:31,400
Speaker 3: at some of these teams in the AFC that weren't

724
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:33,960
Speaker 3: even in the conversation at the beginning, and now they're

725
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:36,840
Speaker 3: in the hunt just like us. So it's not going

726
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:39,200
Speaker 3: to be easy to close out. And I'm sure you've

727
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:40,360
Speaker 3: already discussed the schedule.

728
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 4: It's not easy either. So I mean, you know that

729
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:43,880
Speaker 4: City game was huge.

730
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:47,960
Speaker 2: I know you're very familiar with Tyler Bass. You've even

731
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:51,239
Speaker 2: spent some time with him in the preseason and such.

732
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:54,440
Speaker 2: I don't know if you're aware of this, but this

733
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 2: Dallas kicker is unbelievable. He's a twenty eight year old

734
00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:03,640
Speaker 2: rookie much like you soccer background, and he's thirty for

735
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:06,879
Speaker 2: thirty Steve Like it's the first quarter of the game

736
00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 2: last week that the Cowboys are playing and Mike McCarthy

737
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:14,279
Speaker 2: sends him out there for a sixty yard field goal

738
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:17,440
Speaker 2: and he hits it like he's just walking through the park. Like,

739
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:20,600
Speaker 2: first of all, a head coach to have that confidence

740
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:24,360
Speaker 2: that early in the game to potentially sacrifice field position

741
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:26,920
Speaker 2: if he doesn't hit the sixty yarder, and then to

742
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:28,480
Speaker 2: put him out there. He had a sixty and a

743
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 2: fifty nine yarder last week along with a fifty yarder

744
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:33,000
Speaker 2: that was all in the same game. He's eight for

745
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:35,440
Speaker 2: eight from fifty plus. This kid is unbelievable.

746
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:38,920
Speaker 4: I agree, what a phenomenal start.

747
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:42,360
Speaker 3: Obviously a fantastic athlete, a top round pick in the

748
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:46,799
Speaker 3: MLS and made that conversion to kicking footballs and man,

749
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:50,440
Speaker 3: he's just it's incredible. You know, it's I'm really curious

750
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:51,759
Speaker 3: to see how he does in the weather, but his

751
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:55,360
Speaker 3: leg is so strong that he'll overcome it. And you know,

752
00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:57,919
Speaker 3: back to Tyler Bass, I think, you know, we're also

753
00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:00,319
Speaker 3: lucky to have him. And I'll say this, a lot

754
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:02,239
Speaker 3: of kickers want to come to Buffalo. A lot of

755
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 3: guys don't want to go to Chicago.

756
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 1: You know.

757
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:07,760
Speaker 3: Chris Moore, my old roommate and teammate, they're are punter.

758
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:11,040
Speaker 3: You know, we kind of laughed because Chris finally got

759
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 3: into a dome in Atlanta and I didn't. So it's like,

760
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:16,359
Speaker 3: maybe it's a Canadian thing. I don't know, but maybe

761
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:19,880
Speaker 3: Canadians don't don't belong to domes. But you know, we

762
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:22,160
Speaker 3: always had a joke like, you know, even we look

763
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:24,319
Speaker 3: at the schedule during the season, we're like, okay, how

764
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:26,600
Speaker 3: many games do we get in a dome this year?

765
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:28,759
Speaker 4: Because we know that at home it's not going to

766
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:29,200
Speaker 4: be easy.

767
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 3: So, you know, back to Bass, I think he's done

768
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:34,440
Speaker 3: a nice job for us here and in difficult, difficult

769
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:35,319
Speaker 3: situations too.

770
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 1: Is there anything substantially different these days, because I know

771
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:41,920
Speaker 1: it's cyclical. It used to be that in your I

772
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:44,880
Speaker 1: think it was in your era where they made the

773
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 1: change and said, listen, you're going to kick a new

774
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 1: football right out of the box. And before that they

775
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:53,800
Speaker 1: let you guys have Now they have kicking balls and

776
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:55,360
Speaker 1: that kind of thing where they can rub them and

777
00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:58,759
Speaker 1: scrub them, scuff them up, soften them up a little bit.

778
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:02,440
Speaker 1: Is there anything thinks significantly or materially that has changed

779
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:05,279
Speaker 1: recently that we that has made a difference in your eyes?

780
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:08,920
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, the football's look like they're worked in

781
00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:10,719
Speaker 3: pretty well, I don't know how many. I don't know

782
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:14,400
Speaker 3: what the rule is this week on the footballs, it

783
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:17,919
Speaker 3: seems like it's ever changing, you know, Like, like you said, though, Steve,

784
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:20,279
Speaker 3: at one point there, Chris and I were not allowed

785
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:22,839
Speaker 3: in the equipment room. We couldn't see the footballs before

786
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:26,520
Speaker 3: the game. But now they look like they're well worked in,

787
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:28,560
Speaker 3: which helps. It does help, and it certainly helps in

788
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:29,359
Speaker 3: bad weather.

789
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:29,840
Speaker 4: You know.

790
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 3: It's when they're out of the box, they're they're like

791
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 3: really firm and slippery. The quarterbacks don't like him either.

792
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:40,360
Speaker 3: At one point, when we were allowed to, you know,

793
00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:43,919
Speaker 3: at least supervise the equipment staff breaking them in, Jim

794
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:46,280
Speaker 3: Kelly would come in and say, yeah, okay, these are okay.

795
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:48,840
Speaker 3: You know, he'd cross check and verify with us that

796
00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:51,239
Speaker 3: we weren't breaking them in too much and that they

797
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:52,920
Speaker 3: were ready to go, ready to go for everyone.

798
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:57,200
Speaker 2: Last one, Steve, since you know how the confines of

799
00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:00,880
Speaker 2: the stadium play in the weather, there's in the forecast,

800
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:04,600
Speaker 2: there's also wind. They're saying fifteen to eighteen miles an hour,

801
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:09,360
Speaker 2: sustained gusts up to thirty one. We know for the

802
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:11,680
Speaker 2: most part, the scoreboard end is a tougher end to

803
00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 2: kick into for field goals, but maybe just lay out

804
00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:18,600
Speaker 2: for us what the kickers can expect if there's going

805
00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:22,240
Speaker 2: to be fifteen to eighteen sustained and thirty one gusts.

806
00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:25,719
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know if a lot of people there

807
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 3: know this, but Steve was also my holder for a while,

808
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:32,160
Speaker 3: so he's been he's heard the commentary out there. And

809
00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:34,799
Speaker 3: at times, when you even line up for an extra point,

810
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:37,640
Speaker 3: you look up to the goalpost and the flags are

811
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:40,520
Speaker 3: going in opposite directions. So if there is going to

812
00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:44,680
Speaker 3: be any advantage at all, it should be for us exactly.

813
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:46,200
Speaker 3: You know, you go out there and you're looking up there,

814
00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:49,160
Speaker 3: going okay, you look at the flags for some kind

815
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:51,759
Speaker 3: of a cheat sheet as it is, and it gives

816
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:54,719
Speaker 3: you nothing. So really that's where it's important to have

817
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:58,040
Speaker 3: a strong leg up here. And obviously I think both

818
00:42:58,120 --> 00:42:59,800
Speaker 3: kickers are going to do well with that, but I

819
00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:02,000
Speaker 3: like to think that our guys have the advantage.

820
00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:04,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, and we know too. Going into the scoreboard end

821
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:06,440
Speaker 1: is a lot different than going into the tunnel in

822
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 1: that kind of thing, and that, yeah, it's it's all different.

823
00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:13,560
Speaker 1: Plus in the in the the kicking game, I made

824
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:15,800
Speaker 1: the point too that a lot of it, particularly in

825
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:17,320
Speaker 1: the punt game, not so much in our in the

826
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:19,880
Speaker 1: end of the short snap with a kick, but the

827
00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:24,000
Speaker 1: win affects the long snap as well in certain situations too,

828
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:26,680
Speaker 1: and even the drop on the punt when when the

829
00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:29,600
Speaker 1: ball comes out of their hand, it's just uh. And

830
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:32,760
Speaker 1: I know we've had multiple, multiple games in this building

831
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:35,440
Speaker 1: where there isn't a single punt that even gets fielded

832
00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:38,120
Speaker 1: because they're just it's stupid to try and catch a

833
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 1: ball that's knuckling down at twenty miles an hour out

834
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:44,680
Speaker 1: of the sky. So it really changed. I think the

835
00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:48,279
Speaker 1: kicking game is more susceptible to the win than the

836
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:50,319
Speaker 1: offense or of either team.

837
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:53,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely, I agree with that one hundred percent.

838
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:56,719
Speaker 3: And that's where you know, if there's an opportunity for

839
00:43:56,840 --> 00:43:58,640
Speaker 3: us to go out and kick or punt, we have

840
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:01,480
Speaker 3: to be better than Dallas this weekend or any team

841
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:03,719
Speaker 3: that comes in here. Again, that goes to our home

842
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:07,720
Speaker 3: field advantage and our familiarity with the stadium, the wins

843
00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:11,040
Speaker 3: and the fact that they're not consistent, and you know,

844
00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:14,320
Speaker 3: just to be ready for just about anything. And you're right, Steve,

845
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:17,760
Speaker 3: especially with the drop. I coach kids down in Florida,

846
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:19,919
Speaker 3: and you know it gets windy down there. Not quite

847
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:22,200
Speaker 3: the same as Buffalo, but it gets windy and I

848
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:24,840
Speaker 3: and I also remind them that it's not just the

849
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:26,680
Speaker 3: ball in the air after you hit it, it's your

850
00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:29,920
Speaker 3: drop and that does effect where it affects a snap.

851
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:32,239
Speaker 3: It affects where you catch the ball and how you

852
00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:36,200
Speaker 3: proceed into your steps and making good contacts. So again

853
00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:37,800
Speaker 3: that should be our advantage.

854
00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:40,919
Speaker 2: Steve, Thanks for the time, good luck getting the crowd

855
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:42,719
Speaker 2: fired up on Sunday, and I know fans will be

Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills. Snapdragon apples will add some snap to your

869
00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:41,960
Speaker 2: dinner time vegetables. This recipe contains Brussels sprouts this week,

870
00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:45,880
Speaker 2: with some red onion, baby bella mushrooms and snap dragon apples.

871
00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:48,920
Speaker 2: Of course you could include them with any roasted vegetable

872
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:52,920
Speaker 2: mix for that extra pop of flavor. Steve sweet potatoes,

873
00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:56,200
Speaker 2: parsnips if you're so inclined. Harrots.

874
00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:58,279
Speaker 1: We're showing a picture of it now. And also it's

875
00:45:58,320 --> 00:45:59,600
Speaker 1: sitting right here, Brownie's been.

876
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:03,680
Speaker 2: I sampled it during the break. It's quite good. I

877
00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:07,839
Speaker 2: am a Brussels sprouts fan. Steve and our producer Jay,

878
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:12,560
Speaker 2: they're not big on the sprouts, and I told them

879
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:18,640
Speaker 2: that Brussels sprouts have been completely re engineered. The Brussels

880
00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:23,720
Speaker 2: sprouts we grew up eating, we're god awful, horribly bitter.

881
00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:31,680
Speaker 2: And then scientists and growers in the Netherlands broke down

882
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:34,320
Speaker 2: the compounds of Brussels sprouts, found out what led to

883
00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:38,320
Speaker 2: the bitter taste, and then took less bitter tasting seeds,

884
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:42,200
Speaker 2: re engineered the Brussels sprouts. Now they're on every appetizer

885
00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:44,080
Speaker 2: menu in every restaurant you can.

886
00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:47,200
Speaker 1: Find, everybody, and that's what we got here, and this

887
00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:51,560
Speaker 1: is quite good with the snap dragon apples in it.

888
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:56,799
Speaker 2: Anytime, and I'm just gonna say this, anytime you throw

889
00:46:56,840 --> 00:46:59,480
Speaker 2: a little red onion in the mix, it adds to

890
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:03,600
Speaker 2: the recipe. And they've done that here. But the fruit

891
00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:09,319
Speaker 2: in there, with the Brussels sprout and the onion, it's

892
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:13,880
Speaker 2: like a sweet and like bite from the onion but

893
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:17,640
Speaker 2: sweet from the apple. It's an interesting contrast, I have

894
00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:21,880
Speaker 2: to say, and it's tasty. So I would tell parents, like,

895
00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:26,040
Speaker 2: if you have trouble getting your kids eating vegetables, throw

896
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:29,320
Speaker 2: these snapdragon apples in with a vegetable recipe like this.

897
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:32,200
Speaker 2: I'll tell you right now, they will eat it. They

898
00:47:32,239 --> 00:47:36,040
Speaker 2: will gobble it down because the snapdragon apples make all

899
00:47:36,080 --> 00:47:38,799
Speaker 2: the difference. So moms and dads, this is the way

900
00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:40,520
Speaker 2: to go if you want to get your kid to

901
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:44,120
Speaker 2: eat some more vegetables. So just so you know, if

902
00:47:44,160 --> 00:47:48,840
Speaker 2: you want this recipe, it's on Instagram and on Twitter

903
00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:53,640
Speaker 2: at snapdragon Apple that's all one word, or at snapdragonapple

904
00:47:54,239 --> 00:47:56,440
Speaker 2: dot com that's where you can find this recipe. I

905
00:47:56,520 --> 00:47:58,080
Speaker 2: was gobbling it up and then we ran out of time.

906
00:47:58,080 --> 00:48:00,919
Speaker 2: I couldn't keep eating it to talk on the radio.

907
00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:04,120
Speaker 2: But I'm a Brussels Sprout fan to begin with, and

908
00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:07,320
Speaker 2: this is an interesting I'm gonna try this with the

909
00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:09,759
Speaker 2: snap Dragon apples the next time I got to cook

910
00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:10,120
Speaker 2: these up.

911
00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:14,040
Speaker 1: Yep, and while and while enough, thanks for the snap

912
00:48:14,160 --> 00:48:16,560
Speaker 1: Dragon apple update. It was good. I gotta tell you this.

913
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:19,080
Speaker 1: While we were on break, right before we were about

914
00:48:19,080 --> 00:48:22,000
Speaker 1: to go break it, word broke out in La more

915
00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:24,640
Speaker 1: stuff with the Chargers after having fired their head coach

916
00:48:24,719 --> 00:48:27,920
Speaker 1: they're naming. You knew he was here before, I had

917
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:30,879
Speaker 1: no idea. Yeah, Giff Smith is now the interim head

918
00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:35,520
Speaker 1: coach of the LA Chargers and Jojo Wooden is the

919
00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:37,200
Speaker 1: interim gm per source.

920
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:40,960
Speaker 2: So ye, Gift Smith was here under Chan Gaily as

921
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:43,200
Speaker 2: a defensive line coach. He had coached with him at

922
00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:46,839
Speaker 2: Georgia Tech, and then Chan brought him here to coach

923
00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:49,000
Speaker 2: with him with the Bills in the same capacity as

924
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:53,920
Speaker 2: a d line coach. So yeah, uh be interesting to

925
00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:55,920
Speaker 2: see how the last four games play out for them,

926
00:48:56,080 --> 00:48:58,719
Speaker 2: actually three, they have three games left because they just

927
00:48:58,719 --> 00:49:04,160
Speaker 2: played last night, and it made sense because this is

928
00:49:04,239 --> 00:49:07,080
Speaker 2: like a mini buy for them, so a few extra

929
00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:08,880
Speaker 2: days for the interim to kind of get things up

930
00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:12,800
Speaker 2: and running. Because it's not even as long as the

931
00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:16,080
Speaker 2: normal mini by after a Thursday, because the Bills and

932
00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:20,080
Speaker 2: the Chargers will play on Saturday next week, not Sunday.

933
00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:23,000
Speaker 2: So instead of getting three extra days, they really only

934
00:49:23,040 --> 00:49:23,359
Speaker 2: get two.

935
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:28,960
Speaker 1: But they also get three extra days from the Bills.

936
00:49:29,200 --> 00:49:34,239
Speaker 1: I mean, yes, they will have a leg on Bills preparation. Yes,

937
00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:34,959
Speaker 1: that is true.

938
00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:38,600

950
00:50:56,680 --> 00:51:01,400
Speaker 2: an official commercial site work partner of the Buffalo Bills.

951
00:51:02,239 --> 00:51:06,520
Speaker 2: All Right, Greg, we know that the Cowboys play more

952
00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:11,439
Speaker 2: man coverage than any other team in football forty seven

953
00:51:11,520 --> 00:51:14,320
Speaker 2: percent of their snaps according to the stat service I

954
00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:18,319
Speaker 2: subscribe to. That is a fat number, but they play

955
00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:20,640
Speaker 2: confidently and they have a pass rush to support it.

956
00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:25,880
Speaker 2: Have you seen at any point in this season anyone

957
00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:30,439
Speaker 2: capably exploit that aggressive man coverage that the Cowboys play.

958
00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:32,719
Speaker 4: Oh?

959
00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:37,800
Speaker 7: Sure, there have been examples. Without question. Duran Bland is

960
00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:42,719
Speaker 7: a very beatable corner. All his interceptions almost all come

961
00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:46,320
Speaker 7: from a specific kind of route and specific way in

962
00:51:46,400 --> 00:51:49,520
Speaker 7: which he plays. He's kind of a sitter and a

963
00:51:49,640 --> 00:51:53,080
Speaker 7: squatter and he jumps routes, but he gets beat a lot,

964
00:51:53,719 --> 00:51:56,799
Speaker 7: and he is definitely a corner you want to go after.

965
00:51:57,600 --> 00:52:00,640
Speaker 7: Gilmore has played really, really well the last couple of weeks.

966
00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:03,640
Speaker 7: You know, he's been a he's a veteran corner. He's

967
00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:05,920
Speaker 7: just been a really good player in his long career.

968
00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:08,720
Speaker 7: But there's no question that you can go after Duran

969
00:52:08,840 --> 00:52:13,440
Speaker 7: Bland now almost always they play sides. Two weeks ago

970
00:52:13,520 --> 00:52:17,800
Speaker 7: when they played the Seahawks, what happened was is Metcalf

971
00:52:17,960 --> 00:52:20,799
Speaker 7: was eating up Bland, and in the second half they

972
00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:23,719
Speaker 7: basically said we've had enough of that and they made

973
00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:26,480
Speaker 7: sure that Bland did not match up to DK Metcalf.

974
00:52:27,440 --> 00:52:31,480
Speaker 7: So yeah, you can attack them. The main thing is

975
00:52:31,600 --> 00:52:35,279
Speaker 7: really protection because they are You're seeing Bland, this is

976
00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:35,879
Speaker 7: what he does.

977
00:52:36,440 --> 00:52:36,920
Speaker 5: You see that.

978
00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:40,080
Speaker 7: You know he jumps routes, he sits, he squats and

979
00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:44,120
Speaker 7: jumps routes. That's his game. But the main thing with

980
00:52:44,280 --> 00:52:48,799
Speaker 7: them is their ability to rush the quarterback. They're incredibly

981
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:53,759
Speaker 7: multiple with their deployment of personnel and their front alignments.

982
00:52:54,080 --> 00:52:56,960
Speaker 7: They stunt as much, if not more than any team

983
00:52:57,040 --> 00:53:00,760
Speaker 7: in the league. You know that they line up Parsons

984
00:53:00,840 --> 00:53:04,760
Speaker 7: in multiple spots. They do the same thing with DeMarcus Lawrence.

985
00:53:04,960 --> 00:53:08,279
Speaker 7: You'll see that with Durrence Armstrong as well. They are

986
00:53:08,360 --> 00:53:12,400
Speaker 7: a very very difficult defense from a pass rush standpoint

987
00:53:12,480 --> 00:53:12,880
Speaker 7: to deal with.

988
00:53:13,560 --> 00:53:18,440
Speaker 1: What if without Hankins in the middle, their defensive tackle

989
00:53:18,560 --> 00:53:21,600
Speaker 1: being out. How much more vulnerable to the run are

990
00:53:21,719 --> 00:53:23,839
Speaker 1: they and how much have they been? I mean, they're

991
00:53:23,880 --> 00:53:26,960
Speaker 1: middle of the pack statistically, But it is that not

992
00:53:27,040 --> 00:53:27,880
Speaker 1: where your eyes tell you.

993
00:53:29,560 --> 00:53:31,239
Speaker 5: That's not what my eyes telling me. Now, let's put

994
00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:31,640
Speaker 5: it this way.

995
00:53:31,640 --> 00:53:34,480
Speaker 7: I don't think you're going into this game saying, you know,

996
00:53:34,760 --> 00:53:36,680
Speaker 7: the foundation of what we do is going to be

997
00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:40,040
Speaker 7: running the ball between the tackles. They still have other

998
00:53:40,160 --> 00:53:42,760
Speaker 7: good players or Digie Zoo is a really good player.

999
00:53:43,320 --> 00:53:46,200
Speaker 7: I actually think the rookie who may get more snaps now,

1000
00:53:46,440 --> 00:53:49,520
Speaker 7: Mazzie Smith from Michigan. I think he's a really good prospect.

1001
00:53:50,600 --> 00:53:52,839
Speaker 7: So yeah, I don't think Steve that that's the way

1002
00:53:52,880 --> 00:53:55,040
Speaker 7: you approach this game. You're not going to win this

1003
00:53:55,200 --> 00:53:58,000
Speaker 7: game with you know, thirty five carries in one hundred

1004
00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:01,160
Speaker 7: and ninety yards. That's not going to happen on Sunday.

1005
00:54:01,280 --> 00:54:01,400
Speaker 5: Now.

1006
00:54:01,640 --> 00:54:04,160
Speaker 7: You have the Josh Allen factor as a runner obviously,

1007
00:54:04,320 --> 00:54:07,120
Speaker 7: but I'm talking about the more conventional traditional run game

1008
00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:08,120
Speaker 7: with your backs.

1009
00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:11,000
Speaker 1: Right, with under center handing it off, that kind of thing.

1010
00:54:11,080 --> 00:54:14,480
Speaker 1: Even even with play action, how does have teams try

1011
00:54:14,520 --> 00:54:17,360
Speaker 1: to use play action as a way to hamper the

1012
00:54:17,440 --> 00:54:21,120
Speaker 1: ability of Micah Parsons and where to get or Lawrence

1013
00:54:21,280 --> 00:54:23,400
Speaker 1: to get into the backfield on past plays?

1014
00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:27,319
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, look, I think that's part of every

1015
00:54:27,360 --> 00:54:28,719
Speaker 5: team's you know approach.

1016
00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:34,840
Speaker 7: You know, they're they're just they're just difficult to block.

1017
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:37,359
Speaker 7: I mean, because they're they line up in so many

1018
00:54:37,440 --> 00:54:41,120
Speaker 7: different spots. It becomes a mental challenge. You have to

1019
00:54:41,200 --> 00:54:43,000
Speaker 7: figure out how you want to deal with that. There's

1020
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:44,719
Speaker 7: a lot of coaches I've talked to over the years

1021
00:54:44,960 --> 00:54:47,040
Speaker 7: that talk about the fact that when you play teams

1022
00:54:47,080 --> 00:54:50,520
Speaker 7: that move people around, you can't be worried as much

1023
00:54:50,560 --> 00:54:53,520
Speaker 7: about people as as where they are. So in other words,

1024
00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:56,040
Speaker 7: you know, let's say Michaeh. Parsons lines up head up

1025
00:54:56,120 --> 00:54:59,719
Speaker 7: over the center, which he does. You know, he's just

1026
00:54:59,840 --> 00:55:01,880
Speaker 7: the guy who's head up over the center. Now for

1027
00:55:02,040 --> 00:55:04,719
Speaker 7: some teams they take that approach. For other teams they say, hey,

1028
00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:07,640
Speaker 7: that's Michael Parsons, and you know what, he's a problem

1029
00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:08,960
Speaker 7: and we have to deal with that. I mean, here

1030
00:55:09,239 --> 00:55:11,160
Speaker 7: he lined up over the guard on this sack that

1031
00:55:11,239 --> 00:55:15,800
Speaker 7: you just saw, so you know he's he is. I

1032
00:55:15,880 --> 00:55:18,200
Speaker 7: guess we can debate who the quote unquote best pass

1033
00:55:18,280 --> 00:55:21,320
Speaker 7: rusher in the league is, but he is the most sudden,

1034
00:55:21,520 --> 00:55:24,279
Speaker 7: and most twitchy and most dynamic. He is just a

1035
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:25,440
Speaker 7: phenomenal athlete.

1036
00:55:26,160 --> 00:55:28,759
Speaker 2: All right, Well, let's flip it around, because as good

1037
00:55:28,800 --> 00:55:31,719
Speaker 2: as the Cowboys pass rush is, the Bills pass rush

1038
00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:35,840
Speaker 2: has more sacks on the season than Dallas. What do

1039
00:55:35,920 --> 00:55:40,000
Speaker 2: we think about the Dallas offensive line. It's certainly talented.

1040
00:55:40,080 --> 00:55:42,480
Speaker 2: We know that you've got a long in the tooth

1041
00:55:42,560 --> 00:55:43,920
Speaker 2: veteran on one side.

1042
00:55:43,760 --> 00:55:44,280
Speaker 1: In Smith.

1043
00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:48,560
Speaker 2: You got really good guards, you know, Zach Martin and

1044
00:55:48,640 --> 00:55:53,759
Speaker 2: the like. What kind of vulnerabilities do they offer, if any.

1045
00:55:55,400 --> 00:55:57,839
Speaker 7: Well, here's how I'd answer that, Brownie. First of all,

1046
00:55:57,920 --> 00:56:01,080
Speaker 7: Tyron Smith has played really really well for about six

1047
00:56:01,160 --> 00:56:03,759
Speaker 7: weeks now. In fact, he looks like he did five

1048
00:56:03,880 --> 00:56:05,960
Speaker 7: or six years ago. He's been playing at a really

1049
00:56:06,040 --> 00:56:09,040
Speaker 7: high level. You're right about the two guards, Tyler Smith

1050
00:56:09,040 --> 00:56:11,120
Speaker 7: at left guard and Zach Martin and right guard. Really

1051
00:56:11,200 --> 00:56:15,320
Speaker 7: good players. Terrence Steel the right tackle, is a beautible

1052
00:56:15,440 --> 00:56:20,239
Speaker 7: player in one on one pass protection, So you know

1053
00:56:20,360 --> 00:56:23,520
Speaker 7: that's really important. You must squeeze the pocket on Dak.

1054
00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:26,120
Speaker 7: You must make him a little uncomfortable. He's been so

1055
00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:29,440
Speaker 7: comfortable the last number of weeks because the pass protection

1056
00:56:29,560 --> 00:56:32,600
Speaker 7: has been really really good and the thing that goes

1057
00:56:32,680 --> 00:56:34,879
Speaker 7: along with that. And by the way, I thought their

1058
00:56:34,920 --> 00:56:38,359
Speaker 7: pass rush on the final series against the Chiefs was outstanding.

1059
00:56:38,480 --> 00:56:42,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was really really good. Every fact that they brought.

1060
00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:45,680
Speaker 7: Yeah, I love the fact that they brought Rousseau inside,

1061
00:56:45,719 --> 00:56:48,040
Speaker 7: which we had talked about throughout the season at times.

1062
00:56:48,280 --> 00:56:49,800
Speaker 7: You know, I love the fact that they did that.

1063
00:56:49,920 --> 00:56:52,960
Speaker 7: I think he's really good in there. But anyway, the

1064
00:56:53,080 --> 00:56:55,359
Speaker 7: thing I think that goes along with pass rush when

1065
00:56:55,400 --> 00:56:58,240
Speaker 7: you play the Cowboys is you must change the picture

1066
00:56:58,400 --> 00:57:01,560
Speaker 7: on Dak from pre snapped post snap. You can't allow

1067
00:57:01,719 --> 00:57:04,640
Speaker 7: him to just visually get locked in and feel like

1068
00:57:04,760 --> 00:57:07,719
Speaker 7: he's seeing it clearly and cleanly. And then you have

1069
00:57:07,800 --> 00:57:11,800
Speaker 7: a couple of other things that are probably situational. You

1070
00:57:11,960 --> 00:57:15,120
Speaker 7: have to at times play some kind of bracket coverage

1071
00:57:15,160 --> 00:57:18,240
Speaker 7: on Lamb. Now the Cowboys know this, and they've moved

1072
00:57:18,320 --> 00:57:22,200
Speaker 7: Lamb around more this year, obviously a new coordinator with

1073
00:57:22,320 --> 00:57:24,960
Speaker 7: the head coach, they've moved Lamb around this year more

1074
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:28,080
Speaker 7: than they have in previous years. He lines up outside,

1075
00:57:28,120 --> 00:57:30,440
Speaker 7: he lines up in the slot. He's their motion receiver.

1076
00:57:30,840 --> 00:57:33,200
Speaker 7: So it's not so easy just to say that. But

1077
00:57:33,280 --> 00:57:35,800
Speaker 7: there were snaps. As you guys know where they bracketed

1078
00:57:35,880 --> 00:57:38,600
Speaker 7: Kelsey last week. You have to you know that, As

1079
00:57:38,680 --> 00:57:41,280
Speaker 7: I said, that's situational. That's not going to happen on

1080
00:57:41,360 --> 00:57:45,160
Speaker 7: every play. The other player on their offense, well, I

1081
00:57:45,200 --> 00:57:48,120
Speaker 7: think is really good is Jake Ferguson, and I think

1082
00:57:48,160 --> 00:57:51,040
Speaker 7: you have to be absolutely aware of him if you

1083
00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:54,320
Speaker 7: play split safety coverage, which is the foundation of what

1084
00:57:54,440 --> 00:57:58,000
Speaker 7: the Bills play too high split safety coverage. They've had

1085
00:57:58,080 --> 00:58:00,480
Speaker 7: some big plays with him down the scene because he

1086
00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:03,560
Speaker 7: has enough speed to be a three level dimension. So,

1087
00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:05,800
Speaker 7: you know, I think he's the other receiver and I'm

1088
00:58:05,800 --> 00:58:08,240
Speaker 7: almost certain he has the second most targets on the

1089
00:58:08,280 --> 00:58:09,120
Speaker 7: team behind Lamb.

1090
00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:13,200
Speaker 1: Dak's Prescott seems to be a different kind of guy,

1091
00:58:13,240 --> 00:58:15,800
Speaker 1: and I certainly, as you mentioned, he's gotten great protection.

1092
00:58:16,840 --> 00:58:18,840
Speaker 1: In this five game winning streak, four of them have

1093
00:58:18,920 --> 00:58:20,320
Speaker 1: been at home, so that's a little bit of a

1094
00:58:20,360 --> 00:58:23,000
Speaker 1: boost as well. And the you know, the fifth one

1095
00:58:23,200 --> 00:58:27,040
Speaker 1: was in Carolina, So a team that's really struggling. What

1096
00:58:27,480 --> 00:58:30,520
Speaker 1: are your thoughts on how Dak is he? He doesn't

1097
00:58:30,560 --> 00:58:33,040
Speaker 1: seem like the same guy that we've seen in years past.

1098
00:58:33,960 --> 00:58:36,080
Speaker 7: Yeah, I would say number one, the comfort level is

1099
00:58:36,120 --> 00:58:39,000
Speaker 7: there and the other thing he's done this year, and

1100
00:58:39,120 --> 00:58:40,840
Speaker 7: quite frankly, guys, I didn't think he could do it

1101
00:58:40,880 --> 00:58:43,920
Speaker 7: anymore because you know, each each offseason I pick about

1102
00:58:43,960 --> 00:58:46,080
Speaker 7: ten quarterbacks and watch about two hundred and fifty to

1103
00:58:46,120 --> 00:58:49,840
Speaker 7: three hundred dropbacks of those quarterbacks because when you see

1104
00:58:49,840 --> 00:58:52,320
Speaker 7: it consecutively, you get a whole different feel. And Dak's

1105
00:58:52,320 --> 00:58:54,120
Speaker 7: a guy have done for the last two three years,

1106
00:58:54,520 --> 00:58:57,280
Speaker 7: and I really thought that his movement ability was over,

1107
00:58:57,520 --> 00:58:59,520
Speaker 7: you know, the last couple of years. He's been essentially

1108
00:58:59,560 --> 00:59:02,880
Speaker 7: a pocket quarterback. This year, though, and particularly over the

1109
00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:05,920
Speaker 7: last six seven weeks, he's made a lot of plays

1110
00:59:06,360 --> 00:59:09,840
Speaker 7: off schedule, second reaction movement plays that has now become

1111
00:59:09,920 --> 00:59:12,760
Speaker 7: a part of his game and therefore part of their offense.

1112
00:59:13,120 --> 00:59:14,960
Speaker 7: And I didn't think that he could do that anymore.

1113
00:59:15,040 --> 00:59:17,200
Speaker 7: But that's another thing that you have to deal with

1114
00:59:17,320 --> 00:59:20,200
Speaker 7: when you play the Cowboys. But as far as dropping back,

1115
00:59:20,360 --> 00:59:22,880
Speaker 7: seeing the field, knowing where to go with the football,

1116
00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:25,600
Speaker 7: making the right kind of throw, he's playing as well

1117
00:59:25,640 --> 00:59:27,959
Speaker 7: as he ever has, Steve all.

1118
00:59:27,960 --> 00:59:31,040
Speaker 2: Right, And then what about maybe the second level of

1119
00:59:31,080 --> 00:59:34,960
Speaker 2: that Cowboys defense? Are there holes there to maybe exploit

1120
00:59:35,040 --> 00:59:38,720
Speaker 2: in the passing game? Because we know that the guys

1121
00:59:38,760 --> 00:59:41,240
Speaker 2: on the back end have been very opportunistic and we

1122
00:59:41,360 --> 00:59:43,560
Speaker 2: know what the pass rush can do. Is there some

1123
00:59:43,800 --> 00:59:46,040
Speaker 2: outlet for them to exploit at the second level.

1124
00:59:47,080 --> 00:59:49,640
Speaker 7: Well, it's a fast defense. The two linebackers that play,

1125
00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:52,840
Speaker 7: you know, when they play there four to two, whether

1126
00:59:52,880 --> 00:59:56,000
Speaker 7: it's conventional nickel or big nickel, they play a bunch

1127
00:59:56,080 --> 00:59:59,360
Speaker 7: with three safeties as well. But the two linebackers are

1128
00:59:59,440 --> 01:00:02,960
Speaker 7: Clark and Bell. Bell's a converted safety, Clark who's the

1129
01:00:03,120 --> 01:00:05,520
Speaker 7: LSU kid who got dinged at the combine with a

1130
01:00:05,600 --> 01:00:07,360
Speaker 7: neck injury and had to sit out a season.

1131
01:00:07,640 --> 01:00:11,320
Speaker 5: But both those guys can run. They are a fast defense.

1132
01:00:11,440 --> 01:00:15,080
Speaker 7: Now you're probably going to look to exploit them ideally

1133
01:00:15,400 --> 01:00:18,320
Speaker 7: with things like misdirection, force them to have to cover,

1134
01:00:19,600 --> 01:00:22,200
Speaker 7: you know, to react to things in front of them.

1135
01:00:23,120 --> 01:00:25,560
Speaker 5: But they're fast, they're really good athletes.

1136
01:00:25,640 --> 01:00:29,360
Speaker 7: So it's you know, I would say that the defense

1137
01:00:29,400 --> 01:00:32,520
Speaker 7: doesn't have a defined weakness in the sense that you say, oh, yeah,

1138
01:00:32,560 --> 01:00:35,160
Speaker 7: they can't do this. That doesn't mean you can't beat them,

1139
01:00:36,120 --> 01:00:39,160
Speaker 7: but you know, they don't have that one guy other

1140
01:00:39,280 --> 01:00:41,120
Speaker 7: than and I know this but like I said, might

1141
01:00:41,160 --> 01:00:44,320
Speaker 7: surprise people, but I think Bland is the guy who's beatable.

1142
01:00:44,400 --> 01:00:45,760
Speaker 7: Now that doesn't mean you're going to throw at him

1143
01:00:45,800 --> 01:00:48,640
Speaker 7: on every snap, but I think you have to throw

1144
01:00:48,720 --> 01:00:51,760
Speaker 7: at Bland and make him have to cover routes, you know,

1145
01:00:52,120 --> 01:00:54,000
Speaker 7: not just throw those quick game throws.

1146
01:00:54,080 --> 01:00:55,320
Speaker 5: That's where he's at his best.

1147
01:00:55,960 --> 01:00:57,840
Speaker 1: All right, So you got Dallas coming into five game

1148
01:00:57,920 --> 01:01:01,280
Speaker 1: winning streak. They're playing really well, uh and coming off

1149
01:01:01,320 --> 01:01:05,040
Speaker 1: a big win against Philly. What's what or what's the

1150
01:01:05,080 --> 01:01:07,360
Speaker 1: low hanging fruit for every team that plays the Cowboys?

1151
01:01:07,400 --> 01:01:10,480
Speaker 1: They've got to test him here? You know the Is

1152
01:01:10,520 --> 01:01:13,360
Speaker 1: there anything where you look at on film and every

1153
01:01:13,480 --> 01:01:15,840
Speaker 1: team seems to be trying them in this one area?

1154
01:01:15,920 --> 01:01:18,600
Speaker 1: Is there anything like that? Or are they you know,

1155
01:01:18,680 --> 01:01:20,720
Speaker 1: are they a team that just seems like, you know,

1156
01:01:20,760 --> 01:01:22,840
Speaker 1: you got to match your guys against theirs and try

1157
01:01:23,080 --> 01:01:26,240
Speaker 1: your own way, or is there something about the Dallas

1158
01:01:26,320 --> 01:01:28,760
Speaker 1: Cowboys that every team seems to want to test.

1159
01:01:30,520 --> 01:01:32,360
Speaker 7: I would say, you've got to match your guys against

1160
01:01:32,360 --> 01:01:35,920
Speaker 7: their guys when they've not when they've lost. Okay, obviously

1161
01:01:35,920 --> 01:01:37,720
Speaker 7: you can go back when they got beat by the Niners.

1162
01:01:37,720 --> 01:01:39,840
Speaker 7: They were just physically manhandled in that game. It was

1163
01:01:39,920 --> 01:01:43,040
Speaker 7: one of those games. You know, teams, even good teams,

1164
01:01:43,080 --> 01:01:45,120
Speaker 7: seem to have one or two of those games a year.

1165
01:01:46,280 --> 01:01:48,800
Speaker 7: I would say that, as I said, you go after Bland,

1166
01:01:49,160 --> 01:01:51,360
Speaker 7: you try to create one on one matchups against the

1167
01:01:51,440 --> 01:01:54,840
Speaker 7: right tackle Terron Steel. He's he's an up and down player.

1168
01:01:54,920 --> 01:01:57,200
Speaker 7: You want to try to beat him one on one.

1169
01:01:58,080 --> 01:02:00,400
Speaker 7: Those are two things that would immediately stand down to me.

1170
01:02:00,640 --> 01:02:04,400
Speaker 7: But when they played poorly or poorly relatively speaking. You know,

1171
01:02:04,560 --> 01:02:07,800
Speaker 7: Dak's not played well when that happens, and that's why

1172
01:02:07,880 --> 01:02:09,960
Speaker 7: pressure is so important. You've got to speed him up.

1173
01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:12,240
Speaker 7: You've got to speed up his process. You've got to

1174
01:02:12,240 --> 01:02:16,240
Speaker 7: get him to play faster physically. That's when he hurries

1175
01:02:16,320 --> 01:02:18,920
Speaker 7: himself and that's when he makes some poor throws. So

1176
01:02:19,160 --> 01:02:21,360
Speaker 7: you've got to get people around him. You've got to

1177
01:02:21,400 --> 01:02:23,640
Speaker 7: get bodies around him. You've got to squeeze the pocket,

1178
01:02:23,840 --> 01:02:25,440
Speaker 7: and you've got to find a way to do that. Now,

1179
01:02:25,520 --> 01:02:27,720
Speaker 7: we know this has been a really good pass rush

1180
01:02:27,760 --> 01:02:30,080
Speaker 7: team this year, the Bills, and they do it. They're

1181
01:02:30,120 --> 01:02:32,240
Speaker 7: not a big blitz team, so they do it with

1182
01:02:32,320 --> 01:02:35,280
Speaker 7: their down four and that has to continue in this game.

1183
01:02:35,360 --> 01:02:37,640
Speaker 7: But this is not an easy O line to do

1184
01:02:37,800 --> 01:02:38,680
Speaker 7: that against.

1185
01:02:39,640 --> 01:02:42,919
Speaker 2: Two really, really good kickers in this game as well,

1186
01:02:43,240 --> 01:02:46,440
Speaker 2: Aubrey is a story unto himself as a rookie. You know,

1187
01:02:46,600 --> 01:02:49,520
Speaker 2: thirty for thirty, a sixty one, and a fifty nine

1188
01:02:49,560 --> 01:02:52,200
Speaker 2: yarder last week along with a fifty which seems just

1189
01:02:52,360 --> 01:02:54,800
Speaker 2: like a walk in the park for him. But the

1190
01:02:54,880 --> 01:02:57,080
Speaker 2: weather looks like it's going to be a factor for

1191
01:02:57,160 --> 01:03:01,440
Speaker 2: the kicking game. Greg sustained wins fifteen to eighteen miles

1192
01:03:01,480 --> 01:03:05,920
Speaker 2: per hour win gusts of thirty one. Bass knows how

1193
01:03:06,000 --> 01:03:11,680
Speaker 2: this stadium plays in the weather. Aubrey does not. If

1194
01:03:11,720 --> 01:03:14,440
Speaker 2: this is a closed game, you know where I'm going

1195
01:03:14,520 --> 01:03:14,680
Speaker 2: with this.

1196
01:03:15,440 --> 01:03:17,320
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, I put in my money. But it was

1197
01:03:17,320 --> 01:03:20,040
Speaker 7: a close game without question. You know, one thing we

1198
01:03:20,160 --> 01:03:22,360
Speaker 7: do know is that Josh can throw in the rain.

1199
01:03:22,480 --> 01:03:24,880
Speaker 7: We saw what he did in Philly when he was unbelievable,

1200
01:03:25,080 --> 01:03:27,760
Speaker 7: when he had over four hundred yards of offense individually.

1201
01:03:28,200 --> 01:03:30,600
Speaker 7: You know, he's got big hands, big arm, you know,

1202
01:03:30,720 --> 01:03:34,680
Speaker 7: whether I mean, unless it is an absolute downpour, you know, deluge,

1203
01:03:34,880 --> 01:03:36,720
Speaker 7: which from what you're saying, I don't think it's going

1204
01:03:36,760 --> 01:03:39,840
Speaker 7: to be quite like that. But if it's just kind

1205
01:03:39,880 --> 01:03:42,720
Speaker 7: of you know, rainy but not terrible. Yeah, you know

1206
01:03:42,800 --> 01:03:44,360
Speaker 7: what we've seen in the past is it will not

1207
01:03:44,480 --> 01:03:48,200
Speaker 7: affect Josh Allen. I can't recall Dak playing in one

1208
01:03:48,240 --> 01:03:50,600
Speaker 7: of these games recently, so I don't have a brilliant

1209
01:03:50,640 --> 01:03:52,880
Speaker 7: answer for that, but we know it won't affect Josh.

1210
01:03:53,520 --> 01:03:56,040
Speaker 1: Yeah. And when you get into these late season games,

1211
01:03:56,080 --> 01:03:59,040
Speaker 1: it's always its stereotypical for jeams like, well, you got

1212
01:03:59,160 --> 01:04:01,240
Speaker 1: to run the ball late in the year. You gotta

1213
01:04:01,320 --> 01:04:04,560
Speaker 1: and that's I mean, it sounds great, but you got

1214
01:04:04,680 --> 01:04:06,800
Speaker 1: to run your offense. Both these clubs are gonna have

1215
01:04:06,840 --> 01:04:08,160
Speaker 1: to go back, and they're gonna have to drop back

1216
01:04:08,200 --> 01:04:09,720
Speaker 1: to pack. I mean right, I mean, you're not gonna

1217
01:04:10,360 --> 01:04:12,720
Speaker 1: You're not gonna turn They're gonna hand it off forty times.

1218
01:04:12,880 --> 01:04:14,400
Speaker 1: I don't care what it does, right.

1219
01:04:14,840 --> 01:04:17,120
Speaker 7: I'm so glad to hear you say that, you know,

1220
01:04:17,440 --> 01:04:20,360
Speaker 7: because it is such a wrong cliche to say, how

1221
01:04:20,400 --> 01:04:21,960
Speaker 7: you're playing in the Northeast, you got to be able

1222
01:04:22,000 --> 01:04:24,800
Speaker 7: to run the ball. I mean, how many games, really,

1223
01:04:25,120 --> 01:04:27,840
Speaker 7: when you look at his team season, are games where

1224
01:04:27,880 --> 01:04:31,280
Speaker 7: you truly can't throw the ball? I mean, you know,

1225
01:04:32,560 --> 01:04:34,800
Speaker 7: hardly any. I mean we had one one a couple

1226
01:04:34,840 --> 01:04:38,600
Speaker 7: of years ago where Mac Jones threw three balls, you

1227
01:04:38,640 --> 01:04:39,200
Speaker 7: know that game.

1228
01:04:39,280 --> 01:04:42,800
Speaker 5: But but how many games are really like that? Hardly any.

1229
01:04:43,200 --> 01:04:46,320
Speaker 7: It's just it's just one of those platitudinous cliches that

1230
01:04:46,400 --> 01:04:49,040
Speaker 7: people throw out there that don't really have any basis

1231
01:04:49,080 --> 01:04:49,520
Speaker 7: in fact.

1232
01:04:50,520 --> 01:04:54,400
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, last one for you, Greg. For me, A

1233
01:04:54,480 --> 01:04:57,760
Speaker 2: lot of people believe this is gonna be a shootout

1234
01:04:57,840 --> 01:05:02,480
Speaker 2: style game. Know, we know that Buffalo's defense is not

1235
01:05:02,640 --> 01:05:06,280
Speaker 2: at full strength. It looks like Dallas is only going

1236
01:05:06,320 --> 01:05:08,800
Speaker 2: to be missing Jonathan Hankins, which doesn't sound like a

1237
01:05:08,880 --> 01:05:12,240
Speaker 2: tremendous loss. Knowing the depth that they have. Can you

1238
01:05:12,440 --> 01:05:16,040
Speaker 2: foresee a higher scoring affair here? Or do you think

1239
01:05:16,080 --> 01:05:16,880
Speaker 2: it goes the other way?

1240
01:05:18,120 --> 01:05:21,520
Speaker 7: You know, Brownie, I'm not a good prognosticator, but I'll

1241
01:05:21,560 --> 01:05:24,440
Speaker 7: say this, I have an odd feeling this game's not

1242
01:05:24,640 --> 01:05:26,800
Speaker 7: gonna be I mean, high scoring is a relative term,

1243
01:05:26,880 --> 01:05:28,360
Speaker 7: but I don't think we're looking at a thirty eight

1244
01:05:28,440 --> 01:05:30,840
Speaker 7: thirty five game. I could be dead wrong. I mean,

1245
01:05:31,280 --> 01:05:33,600
Speaker 7: I would assume someone would think that twenty four. You know,

1246
01:05:33,720 --> 01:05:35,480
Speaker 7: twenty three is not a high scoring game?

1247
01:05:35,600 --> 01:05:35,720
Speaker 4: Is that?

1248
01:05:36,000 --> 01:05:37,520
Speaker 5: Would you say that? I don't know how you guys

1249
01:05:37,520 --> 01:05:38,080
Speaker 5: feel about that.

1250
01:05:38,120 --> 01:05:39,800
Speaker 2: I would say that, right, not a high scoring game?

1251
01:05:39,920 --> 01:05:40,919
Speaker 5: Yeah, I would.

1252
01:05:41,040 --> 01:05:43,360
Speaker 7: I would to me, I think it's gonna end up

1253
01:05:43,400 --> 01:05:45,240
Speaker 7: being more like that. And I and I know some

1254
01:05:45,400 --> 01:05:48,000
Speaker 7: people listening are gonna if I'm wrong. I'm sure they'll

1255
01:05:48,000 --> 01:05:50,840
Speaker 7: tell me on Twitter. You know, I'm right, it won't be.

1256
01:05:50,880 --> 01:05:53,960
Speaker 7: It won't be the first time, you know, But I

1257
01:05:54,520 --> 01:05:57,400
Speaker 7: think it's gonna be more like that. For some reason,

1258
01:05:57,480 --> 01:05:59,880
Speaker 7: I just kind of feel that. I mean, look, look

1259
01:06:00,000 --> 01:06:02,120
Speaker 7: what happened last week in Kansas City. You know the

1260
01:06:02,200 --> 01:06:06,720
Speaker 7: Bills defense, Uh, you know they it was unbelievable. I mean,

1261
01:06:07,040 --> 01:06:09,080
Speaker 7: you know, they did such a good job. They had

1262
01:06:09,120 --> 01:06:10,160
Speaker 7: what was the final that game.

1263
01:06:10,040 --> 01:06:12,120
Speaker 1: Twenty twenty seventeen.

1264
01:06:12,240 --> 01:06:16,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, you know, Sean, the defensive coaches.

1265
01:06:17,080 --> 01:06:18,480
Speaker 7: I think you've got to give them a ton of

1266
01:06:18,520 --> 01:06:21,120
Speaker 7: credit for all the injuries they've had and the fact

1267
01:06:21,200 --> 01:06:23,720
Speaker 7: that for the most part, you know, they've been able

1268
01:06:23,800 --> 01:06:25,720
Speaker 7: to keep it together. I mean this, you know, they're

1269
01:06:25,760 --> 01:06:28,720
Speaker 7: not falling apart on defense, let's put it that way. Yeah,

1270
01:06:30,160 --> 01:06:31,680
Speaker 7: but they've not fallen apart.

1271
01:06:32,040 --> 01:06:33,880
Speaker 1: Right, And I think you can say this game is

1272
01:06:33,920 --> 01:06:36,400
Speaker 1: gonna these teams are going to be between seventeen and

1273
01:06:36,480 --> 01:06:39,880
Speaker 1: twenty five points apiece, and and it'll be somewhere in there.

1274
01:06:39,880 --> 01:06:41,840
Speaker 1: It's gonna I think it's gonna be one of those

1275
01:06:41,880 --> 01:06:44,800
Speaker 1: single possession games like we see so many Bills games

1276
01:06:44,880 --> 01:06:47,120
Speaker 1: get to and and it'll be you know, who either

1277
01:06:47,280 --> 01:06:49,880
Speaker 1: has the ball last, or which way the wind's blowing

1278
01:06:50,040 --> 01:06:50,880
Speaker 1: or something like that.

1279
01:06:52,600 --> 01:06:55,520
Speaker 5: Anyway, when was the last time the Bills were blown out?

1280
01:06:57,000 --> 01:06:57,440
Speaker 5: I know this.

1281
01:06:58,200 --> 01:07:00,960
Speaker 2: It was twenty twenty one against the forty one to

1282
01:07:01,080 --> 01:07:03,880
Speaker 2: fifteen That was the Jonathan Taylor five touchdown game.

1283
01:07:04,240 --> 01:07:06,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, but I mean they don't their last I

1284
01:07:06,680 --> 01:07:10,600
Speaker 1: mean their last ten games. Their last ten losses were

1285
01:07:10,640 --> 01:07:14,000
Speaker 1: by combined forty points and the LA Chargers got beat

1286
01:07:14,080 --> 01:07:17,840
Speaker 1: by forty two last night alone, So there you go.

1287
01:07:18,840 --> 01:07:21,480
Speaker 7: By the way, unfortunately costs people jobs, which I you know,

1288
01:07:22,200 --> 01:07:24,160
Speaker 7: no one ever should feel good about that, no matter

1289
01:07:24,440 --> 01:07:27,320
Speaker 7: what you might feel about your team's coach. But but

1290
01:07:27,440 --> 01:07:29,600
Speaker 7: you're right, the Bills do not get blown out. So

1291
01:07:30,520 --> 01:07:34,400
Speaker 7: I just don't look games are crazy. Maybe there's special

1292
01:07:34,440 --> 01:07:37,520
Speaker 7: teams touchdowns, maybe there's crazy stuff turnovers. You know, you

1293
01:07:37,600 --> 01:07:40,360
Speaker 7: never know, but I don't see in the normal course

1294
01:07:40,440 --> 01:07:43,160
Speaker 7: of a game. I guess I just don't see it

1295
01:07:43,200 --> 01:07:44,720
Speaker 7: as a thirty eight thirty five game.

1296
01:07:44,800 --> 01:07:46,840
Speaker 1: Right, I would say that I would go with that

1297
01:07:46,920 --> 01:07:50,640
Speaker 1: as well, particularly yeah in December when it's blown around

1298
01:07:50,760 --> 01:07:53,320
Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, you take what you can get, for sure, Greg.

1299
01:07:53,360 --> 01:07:55,960
Speaker 2: Should we expect to see this game on the Matchup Show?

1300
01:07:56,960 --> 01:08:00,480
Speaker 7: It is part four, it's our full segment game. Brownie

1301
01:08:00,480 --> 01:08:02,960
Speaker 7: and I did a piece because when you play the

1302
01:08:03,120 --> 01:08:06,360
Speaker 7: I did a third down piece with two Josh Allen

1303
01:08:06,440 --> 01:08:09,640
Speaker 7: throws because when you play the Cowboys, you get two things.

1304
01:08:09,720 --> 01:08:12,760
Speaker 7: On third down you get high percentage man cover one

1305
01:08:13,040 --> 01:08:15,920
Speaker 7: and you also get a smattering of Cover two thrown in.

1306
01:08:16,680 --> 01:08:19,360
Speaker 7: So I did two plays, one versus Cover one and

1307
01:08:19,479 --> 01:08:22,519
Speaker 7: one versus Cover two. So yes, it's our full segment

1308
01:08:22,600 --> 01:08:23,400
Speaker 7: game in part four.

1309
01:08:23,600 --> 01:08:25,720
Speaker 2: I think in a perfect world the Bills aren't even

1310
01:08:25,960 --> 01:08:29,280
Speaker 2: getting to third down. That might that might be the solution.

1311
01:08:29,720 --> 01:08:33,720
Speaker 2: I don't want Parses running around on third zero, third down.

1312
01:08:33,920 --> 01:08:36,200
Speaker 2: I don't want anything more than third and four if

1313
01:08:36,240 --> 01:08:39,040
Speaker 2: we can help it, right, Yeah, all right, thanks as always, Greg,

1314
01:08:39,040 --> 01:08:40,080
Speaker 2: I appreciate.

1315
01:08:39,640 --> 01:08:42,080
Speaker 5: It, all right, appreciate it, guys. Thanks all right.

1316
01:08:42,120 --> 01:08:45,240
Speaker 2: That's Greg Cosel joining us as he does every Friday,

1317
01:08:45,760 --> 01:08:48,160
Speaker 2: And if you want to catch that segment, you tune

1318
01:08:48,200 --> 01:08:52,120
Speaker 2: into the ESPN NFL Matchup Show. It usually airs early

1319
01:08:52,640 --> 01:08:54,360
Speaker 2: on Sunday morning, So if you're up with your cup

1320
01:08:54,400 --> 01:08:56,559
Speaker 2: of coffee early Sunday morning, check out Greg. You'll break

1321
01:08:56,600 --> 01:08:59,120
Speaker 2: down that third down situation for the Bills that they're

1322
01:08:59,240 --> 01:09:06,559
Speaker 2: likely to face against the Cowboys Sunday afternoon. Huh yeah,

1323
01:09:06,840 --> 01:09:09,760
Speaker 2: I mean I'm getting pumped now. I'm just you know,

1324
01:09:09,840 --> 01:09:11,120
Speaker 2: we're getting music.

1325
01:09:12,280 --> 01:09:14,160
Speaker 1: It's amazing to me. The guy that's got like this

1326
01:09:14,320 --> 01:09:17,759
Speaker 1: world record six or five pick sixes on the season.

1327
01:09:17,840 --> 01:09:19,360
Speaker 1: You need to go right at that guy. That's what

1328
01:09:19,560 --> 01:09:20,080
Speaker 1: Greg said.

1329
01:09:21,120 --> 01:09:25,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, like you you know, we think in very us

1330
01:09:25,840 --> 01:09:29,160
Speaker 2: non coaches, and I'll put myself in this category, we

1331
01:09:29,400 --> 01:09:34,400
Speaker 2: fall into these very simplistic solutions like, ah, if they

1332
01:09:34,520 --> 01:09:36,680
Speaker 2: jump routes, just run a double move on them. And

1333
01:09:36,760 --> 01:09:39,280
Speaker 2: it's just like, well, yeah, but the production has to

1334
01:09:39,320 --> 01:09:41,040
Speaker 2: hold up for that too, you know what I mean,

1335
01:09:41,320 --> 01:09:44,200
Speaker 2: Like Joshuay getting socked. By the time the guy has

1336
01:09:44,240 --> 01:09:45,200
Speaker 2: executed his double.

1337
01:09:45,560 --> 01:09:49,320
Speaker 1: Micah Parson is in his kitchen and yeah, so all

1338
01:09:49,439 --> 01:09:50,800
Speaker 1: up in his grail right.

1339
01:09:51,000 --> 01:09:54,320
Speaker 2: And you know, on the on the Bills Radio Network,

1340
01:09:54,360 --> 01:09:57,519
Speaker 2: you'll hear my pregame interview with Joe Brady who had

1341
01:09:57,600 --> 01:10:01,000
Speaker 2: some very interesting comments on what has to be done

1342
01:10:01,479 --> 01:10:03,880
Speaker 2: with respect to protection because as you heard Greg say,

1343
01:10:05,320 --> 01:10:07,960
Speaker 2: they're all over the place. Yeah, And as we talked

1344
01:10:08,000 --> 01:10:11,240
Speaker 2: to Dan Rolofski earlier this week, he said, the Cowboys

1345
01:10:11,320 --> 01:10:17,400
Speaker 2: defensive line wants chaos. They want your offensive line disjointed,

1346
01:10:17,840 --> 01:10:20,040
Speaker 2: not all on the same level, to create gaps and

1347
01:10:20,120 --> 01:10:22,880
Speaker 2: schemes for them to exploit. And the other thing, Steve,

1348
01:10:24,080 --> 01:10:26,840
Speaker 2: just watching some of the Cowboys games, they look like

1349
01:10:26,880 --> 01:10:30,040
Speaker 2: a pick and roll basketball team. They literally have a

1350
01:10:30,120 --> 01:10:32,960
Speaker 2: guy start on the end and he just runs headlong

1351
01:10:33,400 --> 01:10:36,280
Speaker 2: across the back of one of his fellow defensive linemen

1352
01:10:36,560 --> 01:10:38,680
Speaker 2: and just hauls off and cracks a guard on the

1353
01:10:38,760 --> 01:10:41,400
Speaker 2: other side. That guard's trying to block somebody. All of

1354
01:10:41,439 --> 01:10:44,080
Speaker 2: a sudden he gets picked. Somebody loops around that guy

1355
01:10:44,160 --> 01:10:46,640
Speaker 2: and he's in free. They do pick and rolls. They

1356
01:10:46,680 --> 01:10:47,880
Speaker 2: look like a basketball team.

1357
01:10:48,760 --> 01:10:52,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's all fast. They got some incredibly you know,

1358
01:10:52,560 --> 01:10:55,040
Speaker 1: Micah Parsons outruns just about everybody on the field, and

1359
01:10:55,120 --> 01:10:59,680
Speaker 1: he's you know that dude. The saving grace and the

1360
01:10:59,720 --> 01:11:02,400
Speaker 1: thing it always gives Bills fans a little different slant

1361
01:11:02,439 --> 01:11:05,599
Speaker 1: than everybody else is the Bills have a quarterback. It's

1362
01:11:05,600 --> 01:11:08,200
Speaker 1: hard to catch, hard to corral, and if you get

1363
01:11:08,840 --> 01:11:11,640
Speaker 1: if you give him a lane, then you will be

1364
01:11:11,760 --> 01:11:14,760
Speaker 1: chasing him, particularly in man coverage. And the Cowboys are

1365
01:11:14,800 --> 01:11:16,439
Speaker 1: going to know that. So one of the things most

1366
01:11:16,560 --> 01:11:19,200
Speaker 1: teams do, maybe not the Cowboys because of what you said.

1367
01:11:19,720 --> 01:11:23,480
Speaker 1: Thing most teams do, Brownie, is they don't they curtail

1368
01:11:23,560 --> 01:11:25,880
Speaker 1: all their stunts up front. They don't do the exes

1369
01:11:25,920 --> 01:11:27,360
Speaker 1: and the crosses and the acts and the and the

1370
01:11:27,439 --> 01:11:30,240
Speaker 1: pick and rolls and stuff because they know that it

1371
01:11:30,360 --> 01:11:32,880
Speaker 1: leaves gaps in the protection and Josh will just run

1372
01:11:33,000 --> 01:11:37,840
Speaker 1: through it, particularly against man coverage. Now, when you got

1373
01:11:37,880 --> 01:11:40,920
Speaker 1: a guy like Micah Parsons and you put him as

1374
01:11:41,000 --> 01:11:43,720
Speaker 1: the spy, I mean, then you got something. But the

1375
01:11:43,760 --> 01:11:45,920
Speaker 1: other guy's got to get runs faster than job. Right,

1376
01:11:45,960 --> 01:11:47,880
Speaker 1: they got it, Then the other three guys they got

1377
01:11:48,000 --> 01:11:48,479
Speaker 1: to get home.

1378
01:11:48,720 --> 01:11:51,400
Speaker 2: I don't think they're wasting Micah Parsons as a spot.

1379
01:11:51,320 --> 01:11:54,519
Speaker 1: That's right. So any other guy they put back there

1380
01:11:54,800 --> 01:11:55,599
Speaker 1: is going to struggle.

1381
01:11:56,360 --> 01:11:59,920
Speaker 2: As you heard Greg say. Though they have that Marquise Bell.

1382
01:12:00,080 --> 01:12:03,240
Speaker 2: That kid's a converted safety and he's playing linebacker. I

1383
01:12:03,280 --> 01:12:05,880
Speaker 2: would expect him to be deployed as a spy.

1384
01:12:06,200 --> 01:12:09,280
Speaker 1: Well, that's always little question. Is a little brother a

1385
01:12:09,320 --> 01:12:12,080
Speaker 1: little brother trying to tackle big brother? You know it's

1386
01:12:12,160 --> 01:12:14,839
Speaker 1: you're talking about a German shepherd trying to tackle a bison.

1387
01:12:17,439 --> 01:12:17,960
Speaker 1: A bison.

1388
01:12:18,040 --> 01:12:21,840
Speaker 2: You went with a bison reference. Okay, that's the guy, all.

1389
01:12:21,760 --> 01:12:25,880
Speaker 1: Right, we'll see. Yeah, a ton of fun matchup stuff

1390
01:12:25,880 --> 01:12:26,840
Speaker 1: to think about for this game.

1391
01:12:26,880 --> 01:12:27,760
Speaker 2: There's really good.

1392
01:12:28,360 --> 01:12:31,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a lot of Type a's out there, and

1393
01:12:32,040 --> 01:12:36,000
Speaker 1: and they're all itching for the chance to show it.

1394
01:12:36,320 --> 01:12:40,080
Speaker 2: So that brings us to a perfect obl Friday fan

1395
01:12:40,200 --> 01:12:44,719
Speaker 2: mailbag question from Bill's News Consolidated. Can the Buffalo Bills

1396
01:12:44,800 --> 01:12:49,240
Speaker 2: expose the Cowboys by creating overall size matchups to defeat

1397
01:12:49,600 --> 01:12:54,160
Speaker 2: to defeat overall talent and speed? So they're of the

1398
01:12:54,280 --> 01:12:58,960
Speaker 2: opinion that the Cowboys are the faster team overall, and

1399
01:12:59,080 --> 01:13:01,479
Speaker 2: for the most part, I would agree with that. So

1400
01:13:01,680 --> 01:13:05,920
Speaker 2: can the Bills use size to overcome some of that

1401
01:13:06,040 --> 01:13:10,000
Speaker 2: and just rough them up in enough areas?

1402
01:13:10,120 --> 01:13:12,639
Speaker 1: Yeah? Maybe maybe, if you had to pick your spots,

1403
01:13:14,600 --> 01:13:17,160
Speaker 1: it's really gonna be interesting. And certainly, and when you

1404
01:13:17,240 --> 01:13:19,519
Speaker 1: get up against a team that's really talented, and they're

1405
01:13:19,560 --> 01:13:22,040
Speaker 1: all talented, but in a lot of cases, I think

1406
01:13:22,080 --> 01:13:24,559
Speaker 1: the Bills coaches coaching staff knows they've got some guys

1407
01:13:24,600 --> 01:13:29,840
Speaker 1: that can get some stuff done. But in this game,

1408
01:13:29,960 --> 01:13:33,400
Speaker 1: matchups gonna are gonna be closer. If not, you know,

1409
01:13:33,520 --> 01:13:36,040
Speaker 1: you're gonna be fifty to fifty on matchups. They're gonna

1410
01:13:36,040 --> 01:13:38,680
Speaker 1: be able to win as many as you do. So

1411
01:13:38,800 --> 01:13:40,760
Speaker 1: it's gonna be up to the coaching staff to, you know,

1412
01:13:40,920 --> 01:13:44,719
Speaker 1: to deploy their guys and get the best and whoever

1413
01:13:44,800 --> 01:13:47,640
Speaker 1: wins those and wins them fast are gonna be the

1414
01:13:47,680 --> 01:13:49,840
Speaker 1: difference makers. I think it is interesting, and he's right,

1415
01:13:51,960 --> 01:13:55,639
Speaker 1: Dak prep. Here's the thing about the Cowboys. I think

1416
01:13:55,680 --> 01:14:00,479
Speaker 1: they're elite front runners. They get up on you, they're

1417
01:14:00,640 --> 01:14:04,479
Speaker 1: really hard to catch. They're really hard to come back from.

1418
01:14:05,880 --> 01:14:07,960
Speaker 1: And I think when you get him into a muddy game,

1419
01:14:08,400 --> 01:14:10,479
Speaker 1: or when Dak's not feeling it and it's not going

1420
01:14:10,560 --> 01:14:13,120
Speaker 1: his way, I think he really struggles to get on

1421
01:14:13,200 --> 01:14:16,640
Speaker 1: top of it and climb back into the game. When

1422
01:14:16,680 --> 01:14:18,880
Speaker 1: they start fast and they get out to a lead, man,

1423
01:14:19,000 --> 01:14:21,680
Speaker 1: I don't think you catch them. I don't think you

1424
01:14:21,760 --> 01:14:23,960
Speaker 1: catch up to them. I think they're elite front runners

1425
01:14:24,040 --> 01:14:25,799
Speaker 1: and you can't let them get into that position.

1426
01:14:26,320 --> 01:14:26,519
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1427
01:14:26,800 --> 01:14:29,599
Speaker 2: And proof of that is that they've outscored their opponents

1428
01:14:29,640 --> 01:14:31,120
Speaker 2: by a better than two to one margin in the

1429
01:14:31,160 --> 01:14:33,720
Speaker 2: first half. They get up early on a team and

1430
01:14:33,840 --> 01:14:35,400
Speaker 2: then they coast to the finish.

1431
01:14:35,680 --> 01:14:41,200
Speaker 1: Yeah. And they're really good at moving the chains, getting

1432
01:14:41,280 --> 01:14:42,000
Speaker 1: first downs.

1433
01:14:42,200 --> 01:14:44,800
Speaker 2: They're the highest scoring team in football thirty two point

1434
01:14:44,840 --> 01:14:47,639
Speaker 2: three points per game. They have already scored over four

1435
01:14:47,760 --> 01:14:48,880
Speaker 2: hundred points this season.

1436
01:14:49,760 --> 01:14:52,000
Speaker 1: They're lighting it up. They're really lighting it up.

1437
01:14:52,880 --> 01:14:54,760
Speaker 2: We have to take a break here, but when we

1438
01:14:54,840 --> 01:14:57,560
Speaker 2: come back, we'll open the phone lines again on this

1439
01:14:57,760 --> 01:15:00,920
Speaker 2: obl Fan Friday. So any question you have on the Bills,

1440
01:15:01,280 --> 01:15:04,479
Speaker 2: the league, get large the game on Sunday, fire it

1441
01:15:04,560 --> 01:15:06,280
Speaker 2: off at us. We're ready to take your phone calls.

1442
01:15:06,360 --> 01:15:08,680
Speaker 2: Next here on one Bill's Live presented by Colid of Health,

1443
01:15:08,720 --> 01:15:22,680
Speaker 2: It's Buffalo Bills Radio nine for us to get to

1444
01:15:22,760 --> 01:15:26,120
Speaker 2: collision course, which is brought to you by Gabes Collision.

1445
01:15:26,560 --> 01:15:29,360
Speaker 2: Gabe's Collision, the official auto collision repair center of the

1446
01:15:29,360 --> 01:15:33,360
Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills. Get back in the game, and our collision

1447
01:15:33,400 --> 01:15:36,679
Speaker 2: course is a pretty obvious one. It's Micah Parsons against

1448
01:15:36,680 --> 01:15:39,600
Speaker 2: Buffalo's offensive line. This is not just a one on

1449
01:15:39,760 --> 01:15:42,920
Speaker 2: one matchup. Even though more often than not he'll line

1450
01:15:43,000 --> 01:15:46,680
Speaker 2: up on the right side of the offensive formation. People say, oh,

1451
01:15:46,760 --> 01:15:49,040
Speaker 2: you know, Spencer Brown's gonna need some help over there. Well,

1452
01:15:49,240 --> 01:15:51,080
Speaker 2: they move Micah Parsons all over the place.

1453
01:15:51,120 --> 01:15:51,439
Speaker 1: Here he is.

1454
01:15:51,479 --> 01:15:54,240
Speaker 2: He's rushing by the guard for a sack on Daniel

1455
01:15:54,320 --> 01:15:58,720
Speaker 2: Jones earlier this season. So that was the forty to

1456
01:15:58,840 --> 01:16:01,639
Speaker 2: nothing game by the way, that they opening weekend. Yeah,

1457
01:16:02,560 --> 01:16:04,720
Speaker 2: they move him all around. It's going to take the

1458
01:16:04,960 --> 01:16:08,160
Speaker 2: entire line to account for where this where this guy is.

1459
01:16:08,400 --> 01:16:11,160
Speaker 1: I'll say this too, though, you get some self scouting

1460
01:16:11,240 --> 01:16:13,760
Speaker 1: when you'll get an idea of what other teams see.

1461
01:16:13,800 --> 01:16:16,439
Speaker 1: If they align Micah Parsons up in one spot the

1462
01:16:16,640 --> 01:16:19,639
Speaker 1: entire game, it'll be for a reason because they sense

1463
01:16:20,040 --> 01:16:22,599
Speaker 1: a weakness on your offensive line at that spot. Maybe

1464
01:16:22,640 --> 01:16:26,040
Speaker 1: it'll be maybe it'll be Spencer Brown, maybe it'll be

1465
01:16:26,560 --> 01:16:33,120
Speaker 1: the rookie you know, who knows. But that's where they're

1466
01:16:33,120 --> 01:16:34,400
Speaker 1: gonna line him up, and he'll get a lot of

1467
01:16:34,560 --> 01:16:38,560
Speaker 1: he'll get a lot of snaps there. You know, it

1468
01:16:38,680 --> 01:16:40,400
Speaker 1: tells you something about your own team when they got

1469
01:16:40,439 --> 01:16:43,679
Speaker 1: a guy like that. But they also, like you said, Brownie,

1470
01:16:43,720 --> 01:16:46,439
Speaker 1: they may sense something else and start moving, just move

1471
01:16:46,520 --> 01:16:49,200
Speaker 1: him everywhere to try and create that chaos that we

1472
01:16:49,280 --> 01:16:50,760
Speaker 1: heard Daniel Rovsky talk about.

1473
01:16:51,160 --> 01:16:55,920
Speaker 2: He has eighty two quarterback pressures according to PFF.

1474
01:16:56,360 --> 01:16:58,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you're you're wondering, if you're wondering, that's a

1475
01:16:58,840 --> 01:16:59,479
Speaker 1: big number.

1476
01:17:00,880 --> 01:17:02,040
Speaker 2: That's a stupid number.

1477
01:17:02,360 --> 01:17:02,559
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1478
01:17:03,720 --> 01:17:05,400
Speaker 2: So even when he doesn't get home and he does

1479
01:17:05,479 --> 01:17:11,160
Speaker 2: have twelve and a half sacks in thirteen games, eighty

1480
01:17:11,240 --> 01:17:13,360
Speaker 2: two quarterback pressures, I mean, come on.

1481
01:17:13,600 --> 01:17:16,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, you almost it's almost to the point where you'd think, Okay,

1482
01:17:16,880 --> 01:17:20,839
Speaker 1: you got to find him every time, set your protection

1483
01:17:21,080 --> 01:17:23,800
Speaker 1: and then have somebody like a back or a tight

1484
01:17:23,920 --> 01:17:25,519
Speaker 1: end go there.

1485
01:17:26,000 --> 01:17:30,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you'll probably have to do some max protect yeah,

1486
01:17:30,360 --> 01:17:31,559
Speaker 2: at different times in the game.

1487
01:17:32,200 --> 01:17:32,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, it does.

1488
01:17:33,080 --> 01:17:35,400
Speaker 2: It does help that the Bills are home, so communication

1489
01:17:35,520 --> 01:17:39,000
Speaker 2: for the old line should be easier. So that's a positive.

1490
01:17:41,880 --> 01:17:44,080
Speaker 2: You know, he's he's not going to get an extra

1491
01:17:44,200 --> 01:17:45,960
Speaker 2: jump on you because you're in Dallas, you know, and

1492
01:17:46,040 --> 01:17:47,920
Speaker 2: the crowd's lowed when your offense is on the field,

1493
01:17:48,000 --> 01:17:50,599
Speaker 2: so at least you have that small little edge there

1494
01:17:50,760 --> 01:17:53,720
Speaker 2: being at home. But yeah, you got to know where

1495
01:17:53,760 --> 01:17:56,920
Speaker 2: that cat is at or he's gonna make your life.

1496
01:17:57,280 --> 01:17:59,800
Speaker 1: He's a game wrecker and that's but no question, he

1497
01:17:59,920 --> 01:18:01,960
Speaker 1: is as good a defensive players there is in the

1498
01:18:02,000 --> 01:18:03,800
Speaker 1: league this year, and he's playing like it this year,

1499
01:18:03,920 --> 01:18:06,439
Speaker 1: no question about it, from from start to finish. And

1500
01:18:08,760 --> 01:18:13,880
Speaker 1: he is a force, an absolute force. He is every

1501
01:18:14,000 --> 01:18:17,120
Speaker 1: bit the force this year that Aaron Donald has been

1502
01:18:17,200 --> 01:18:20,120
Speaker 1: in the past for his team in the rams from

1503
01:18:20,160 --> 01:18:21,000
Speaker 1: the defensive tackles.

1504
01:18:21,400 --> 01:18:25,400
Speaker 2: Unfortunately for him, with the offense playing so well and

1505
01:18:25,520 --> 01:18:27,559
Speaker 2: getting up on teams in the first half, the way

1506
01:18:27,600 --> 01:18:31,200
Speaker 2: they have it has forced their opponents to go into

1507
01:18:31,240 --> 01:18:33,360
Speaker 2: all out of pass mode as soon as the second quarter.

1508
01:18:33,800 --> 01:18:36,880
Speaker 2: So this guy is getting three quarters worth of pass

1509
01:18:37,000 --> 01:18:38,519
Speaker 2: rush every single week.

1510
01:18:38,840 --> 01:18:40,800
Speaker 1: He's getting a lot of He's getting a lot of opportunity,

1511
01:18:40,960 --> 01:18:45,880
Speaker 1: no question, particularly in the last month and a half. Yeah,

1512
01:18:47,120 --> 01:18:51,200
Speaker 1: I'll say this though, I still believe the Bills are

1513
01:18:51,320 --> 01:18:56,679
Speaker 1: good enough, and I think the Bills overall, top to bottom,

1514
01:18:57,120 --> 01:18:59,960
Speaker 1: you still got to come out and play everywhere against

1515
01:19:00,040 --> 01:19:02,000
Speaker 1: the Bill. You're not gonna run off and leave this team.

1516
01:19:02,160 --> 01:19:04,439
Speaker 1: This is gonna be if the if the Cowboys, if

1517
01:19:04,520 --> 01:19:07,240
Speaker 1: one team or the other stays in it. Obviously mostly

1518
01:19:07,280 --> 01:19:10,439
Speaker 1: I'm thinking the Cowboys on the road here in Buffalo.

1519
01:19:11,400 --> 01:19:14,000
Speaker 1: This is a hard team the Bills are to get

1520
01:19:14,080 --> 01:19:17,040
Speaker 1: out and run off and leave. Nobody's been able to

1521
01:19:17,040 --> 01:19:19,080
Speaker 1: do it over the last two years. You gotta go

1522
01:19:19,160 --> 01:19:23,960
Speaker 1: back into the third year in the past to get

1523
01:19:24,000 --> 01:19:25,640
Speaker 1: to a team that beat him bad, and that was

1524
01:19:25,720 --> 01:19:27,880
Speaker 1: the team the Bills shut out of the playoffs the

1525
01:19:27,960 --> 01:19:30,240
Speaker 1: year before, and they had like an axe to grind.

1526
01:19:31,560 --> 01:19:33,479
Speaker 1: I think it's hard for a team like Dallas, who

1527
01:19:33,560 --> 01:19:36,960
Speaker 1: doesn't see the Bills twice a year to come in

1528
01:19:37,080 --> 01:19:39,080
Speaker 1: and think, Okay, we got to you know, and to think,

1529
01:19:39,240 --> 01:19:40,840
Speaker 1: you know, they got to handle on what it is.

1530
01:19:40,960 --> 01:19:43,040
Speaker 1: This offensive line is much better than any of the

1531
01:19:43,080 --> 01:19:45,920
Speaker 1: Bills have had in recent past, better than the one

1532
01:19:45,960 --> 01:19:48,600
Speaker 1: that beat Dallas in Dallas on Thanksgiving a couple of

1533
01:19:48,640 --> 01:19:53,439
Speaker 1: years ago. There's both these teams have reason to think, man,

1534
01:19:53,479 --> 01:19:54,599
Speaker 1: this is going to be a heck of a game.

1535
01:19:54,640 --> 01:19:56,400
Speaker 1: And certainly you and I think it's going to be

1536
01:19:56,439 --> 01:19:58,960
Speaker 1: a really good game. Yeah, I do. I think it'll

1537
01:19:59,000 --> 01:20:00,880
Speaker 1: be back and forth. It's going to be I think

1538
01:20:00,920 --> 01:20:02,200
Speaker 1: it's going to be a fantastic game.

1539
01:20:03,200 --> 01:20:06,040
Speaker 2: Time to move from Collision Course, which was brought to

1540

01:20:39,439 --> 01:20:42,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's made with and DEWI sausage. Oh yeah,

1549
01:20:43,560 --> 01:20:45,960
Speaker 1: it's gotta be. If you're from Louisiana, it's got to be.

1550
01:20:46,000 --> 01:20:48,439
Speaker 1: And dewey everybody else. You can substitute whatever you want.

1554
01:21:00,439 --> 01:21:01,639
Speaker 1: make that sound any better?

1555
01:21:02,560 --> 01:21:05,000
Speaker 2: It sounds like cardiac arrest, is what it sounds like.

1556
01:21:05,120 --> 01:21:08,519
Speaker 2: There's cheese, butter and bacon on the toast and garlic.

1557
01:21:08,880 --> 01:21:11,599
Speaker 2: I don't know if you could put more saturated fat

1558
01:21:11,640 --> 01:21:14,360
Speaker 2: on a piece of bread. Going to be a spicy

1559
01:21:14,439 --> 01:21:17,799
Speaker 2: tailgate in a lot this week. Also, can't forget the splits,

1560
01:21:17,840 --> 01:21:20,280
Speaker 2: pretzels and dip plus plenty of low.

1561
01:21:20,280 --> 01:21:23,840
Speaker 1: Jack always brings the opponent into a Texas toast, is

1562
01:21:23,880 --> 01:21:25,599
Speaker 1: what he's making. That's nice, very nice.

1563
01:21:26,040 --> 01:21:30,120
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, I'm just hoping his I'm just hoping his

1564
01:21:30,240 --> 01:21:34,439
Speaker 2: digestive track behaves for the rest of the game. Emily says,

1565
01:21:34,960 --> 01:21:37,920
Speaker 2: chili family recipe. It is that time of the year.

1566
01:21:37,920 --> 01:21:38,719
Speaker 2: It is chili season.

1567
01:21:38,800 --> 01:21:39,160
Speaker 5: Yes, it is.

1568
01:21:39,560 --> 01:21:42,920
Speaker 2: Will need something like a family recipe to bring together

1569
01:21:42,960 --> 01:21:49,320
Speaker 2: a divided household as my brother is a Cowboys fans. Yeah, well,

1570
01:21:49,479 --> 01:21:50,719
Speaker 2: you know, it's.

1571
01:21:50,600 --> 01:21:52,360
Speaker 1: One thing you can't choose your family.

1572
01:21:53,120 --> 01:21:55,720
Speaker 2: It's one thing if your crazy uncle is the fan

1573
01:21:55,840 --> 01:21:58,360
Speaker 2: of the other team, But when it's your brother, it's

1574
01:21:58,439 --> 01:22:00,519
Speaker 2: just like, what happened to you?

1575
01:22:00,640 --> 01:22:00,680
Speaker 6: What?

1576
01:22:00,880 --> 01:22:02,960
Speaker 1: What is wrong with you? What happened?

1577
01:22:03,479 --> 01:22:06,360
Speaker 2: I need to know because this is inexplicable, that's right.

1578
01:22:07,560 --> 01:22:09,559
Speaker 2: Oh well, I haven't made Have you made any chili

1579
01:22:09,640 --> 01:22:10,360
Speaker 2: yet this season?

1580
01:22:10,560 --> 01:22:11,720
Speaker 1: Not? No, not for a while.

1581
01:22:12,360 --> 01:22:14,200
Speaker 2: I gotta get I gotta get on the horn with that.

1582
01:22:14,320 --> 01:22:15,800
Speaker 1: I think the last time I made chili was like

1583
01:22:16,000 --> 01:22:18,080
Speaker 1: before it broke last spring, you know what I mean.

1584
01:22:19,160 --> 01:22:21,439
Speaker 1: I think I probably the last one I made was

1585
01:22:22,120 --> 01:22:25,240
Speaker 1: when it was still winter this year, before this one started,

1586
01:22:25,280 --> 01:22:25,679
Speaker 1: oh back.

1587
01:22:25,600 --> 01:22:29,160
Speaker 2: In Januarybrary someone. Yeah, I gotta get on the horn

1588
01:22:29,240 --> 01:22:30,680
Speaker 2: with that. My son and I are the only ones

1589
01:22:30,720 --> 01:22:34,800
Speaker 2: who eat chili in my house, and kids are home

1590
01:22:34,840 --> 01:22:37,840
Speaker 2: for break, so I gotta get going on. I'm you know,

1591
01:22:38,040 --> 01:22:40,200
Speaker 2: I think I'll bet I have some in the freezer.

1592
01:22:40,880 --> 01:22:43,120
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I'm not big on freezing it.

1593
01:22:43,400 --> 01:22:45,519
Speaker 1: Oh. I love it, I do. I mean, I'm sure

1594
01:22:45,560 --> 01:22:47,640
Speaker 1: it holds up well, it holds up even better it's

1595
01:22:47,680 --> 01:22:49,720
Speaker 1: even better when you freeze it for nine months and

1596
01:22:50,840 --> 01:22:53,479
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, it's the best. Yeah, it's the absolute best.

1597
01:22:54,320 --> 01:22:57,280
Speaker 1: Plus plus it's easy. It's like crystal change.

1598
01:22:57,320 --> 01:23:04,280
Speaker 2: Oh, Bob on Tailgate Friday says, I'm going with carne

1599
01:23:04,400 --> 01:23:08,840
Speaker 2: asada with Pico di Gayo and Margaritas. Now, Margarita's in

1600
01:23:08,920 --> 01:23:12,960
Speaker 2: the winter. That just seems counterintuitive, doesn't it. Like you're

1601
01:23:13,040 --> 01:23:15,040
Speaker 2: used to Margarita's when you go on vacation to the

1602
01:23:15,120 --> 01:23:18,880
Speaker 2: Caribbean beach weather, you're on an island somewhere, and you

1603
01:23:18,960 --> 01:23:20,920
Speaker 2: know there's a drink in your hand, there's salt on

1604
01:23:20,960 --> 01:23:21,519
Speaker 2: the rim.

1605
01:23:21,920 --> 01:23:23,240
Speaker 1: An umbrella or something in it.

1606
01:23:23,520 --> 01:23:28,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, like absolutely, that's ambitious. Margarita's in December in Buffalo,

1607
01:23:30,600 --> 01:23:32,200
Speaker 2: it's ambitious. I kind of like it.

1608
01:23:32,240 --> 01:23:35,200
Speaker 1: I'll say tequila is always appropriate, but yeah, all right,

1609
01:23:35,439 --> 01:23:36,599
Speaker 1: I kind of liked that idea.

1610
01:23:37,240 --> 01:23:40,640
Speaker 2: And then the last one from Steve headed to the

1611
01:23:40,680 --> 01:23:45,639
Speaker 2: butcher as I am typing to pick up the wagu

1612
01:23:45,840 --> 01:23:49,400
Speaker 2: brisket I ordered, Oh, it will be going on the

1613
01:23:49,479 --> 01:23:52,200
Speaker 2: smoker at eight pm Saturday nights.

1614
01:23:52,280 --> 01:23:53,840
Speaker 1: You know, cook like it.

1615
01:23:54,600 --> 01:23:57,599
Speaker 2: So the wagu is those are the cows in Korea

1616
01:23:57,720 --> 01:24:03,000
Speaker 2: right that they actually massage. Can't massage and pamper these cows.

1617
01:24:03,080 --> 01:24:06,360
Speaker 1: Well, they don't even let them walk around. Yeah, they

1618
01:24:06,479 --> 01:24:08,519
Speaker 1: just have a span and they drink beer. The cow

1619
01:24:08,600 --> 01:24:09,160
Speaker 1: drinks beer.

1620
01:24:09,439 --> 01:24:12,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they literally massage the cow. Yeah, it's like

1621
01:24:12,960 --> 01:24:16,120
Speaker 2: to tenderize. They're literally tenderizing the meat while they're still alive.

1622
01:24:18,160 --> 01:24:21,519
Speaker 2: I'm just thinking about that now, like you imagine being

1623
01:24:21,600 --> 01:24:23,760
Speaker 2: the cow, like, hey, what's going on there?

1624
01:24:23,800 --> 01:24:23,920
Speaker 1: Oh?

1625
01:24:24,000 --> 01:24:26,360
Speaker 2: That feels quite good. We don't keep doing that.

1626
01:24:26,760 --> 01:24:30,360
Speaker 1: We're not knowing their heads. Human beings are such pigs

1627
01:24:30,640 --> 01:24:34,400
Speaker 1: and prepared for slaughter, right, that's uh, yes, But have

1628
01:24:34,520 --> 01:24:37,439
Speaker 1: you ever had Waguh? I don't know if I have.

1629
01:24:38,080 --> 01:24:38,840
Speaker 1: It's worth the mistake.

1630
01:24:38,920 --> 01:24:40,800
Speaker 2: It's got a lot of fat content and that's what

1631
01:24:40,960 --> 01:24:44,160
Speaker 2: makes it so flavorful. Right, So yeah, yeah, I don't

1632
01:24:44,200 --> 01:24:47,280
Speaker 2: know if I've ever had the privilege good stuff sampling

1633
01:24:47,360 --> 01:24:49,719
Speaker 2: some of that way to go, But yeah, I would

1634
01:24:49,800 --> 01:24:52,120
Speaker 2: like to uh try that sometimes. So thank you for

1635
01:24:52,240 --> 01:24:56,599
Speaker 2: all your submissions for Tailgate Friday. Appreciate it. Looking forward

1636
01:24:56,600 --> 01:25:00,120
Speaker 2: to some of those things out there in the in

1637
01:25:00,160 --> 01:25:03,920
Speaker 2: the tailgate lots on the tweetsheet though, We've got a

1638
01:25:03,960 --> 01:25:08,040
Speaker 2: couple of more comments here and this one comes from ed.

1639
01:25:08,840 --> 01:25:13,719
Speaker 2: Will we ever see Leonard Fournette in game action this season?

1640
01:25:14,080 --> 01:25:17,800
Speaker 2: Good question. I think, as Steve and I have mentioned before,

1641
01:25:18,200 --> 01:25:21,040
Speaker 2: we kind of view him as an insurance policy, and

1642
01:25:21,439 --> 01:25:23,240
Speaker 2: it's I think if somebody gets.

1643
01:25:23,120 --> 01:25:25,720
Speaker 1: Hurt, Yes, I don't think it's because they don't think

1644
01:25:25,760 --> 01:25:28,720
Speaker 1: he can play. And I think at this point he's

1645
01:25:28,800 --> 01:25:31,000
Speaker 1: probably ready to go offensively. He's ready, He's got his

1646
01:25:31,120 --> 01:25:32,840
Speaker 1: nose in the playbook, knows what he would be doing

1647
01:25:32,880 --> 01:25:36,120
Speaker 1: and all that. I think he probably had an idea

1648
01:25:36,240 --> 01:25:39,960
Speaker 1: when he signed that it was he is a you know,

1649
01:25:40,160 --> 01:25:43,040
Speaker 1: break glass in case of emergency type of player for

1650
01:25:43,120 --> 01:25:45,840
Speaker 1: the Bills. I think he's okay with it. I think

1651
01:25:45,880 --> 01:25:49,240
Speaker 1: he saw the potential of this team to go to

1652
01:25:49,320 --> 01:25:51,600
Speaker 1: the distance and help out if he could. But I

1653
01:25:51,680 --> 01:25:54,680
Speaker 1: don't think you're gonna with James Cook playing the way

1654
01:25:54,720 --> 01:25:58,120
Speaker 1: he is, Latavius Murray playing the way he is, and

1655
01:25:58,240 --> 01:26:02,120
Speaker 1: Ty Johnson playing the way he is. It's you know,

1656
01:26:02,400 --> 01:26:04,400
Speaker 1: it's hard to make room for another numbers game. Yeah,

1657
01:26:04,400 --> 01:26:06,519
Speaker 1: it's hard to make room for another guy there because

1658
01:26:06,920 --> 01:26:09,680
Speaker 1: the running back room is more than carrying its weight

1659
01:26:09,760 --> 01:26:12,040
Speaker 1: and James Cook is the lead dog in that. So

1660
01:26:12,280 --> 01:26:15,920
Speaker 1: I'm i would say, the better this team is playing,

1661
01:26:16,040 --> 01:26:18,160
Speaker 1: the less likely it is that Leonard Fournette gets on

1662
01:26:18,200 --> 01:26:20,720
Speaker 1: the field. I not that it couldn't happen, but I

1663
01:26:20,760 --> 01:26:24,160
Speaker 1: think it's gonna take something bad to happen if if

1664
01:26:24,200 --> 01:26:25,360
Speaker 1: he for him to happen.

1665
01:26:25,720 --> 01:26:27,560
Speaker 2: Break time for us here Steve and I with a

1666
01:26:27,600 --> 01:26:29,920
Speaker 2: couple of more questions from the mail bag. When we

1667
01:26:30,040 --> 01:26:32,400
Speaker 2: return here. On one Bill's Live presented by Kalida Health,

1668
01:26:32,439 --> 01:26:33,839
Speaker 2: It's Buffalo Bills Radio.

1669
01:26:48,880 --> 01:26:49,200
Speaker 3: All Right.

1670
01:26:49,320 --> 01:26:51,720
Speaker 2: Vision to Victory is presented by that Well I Care,

1671
01:26:51,800 --> 01:26:54,679
Speaker 2: the official eye care provider of the Buffalo Bills. For me, Steve,

1672
01:26:55,760 --> 01:27:00,200
Speaker 2: I think Buffalo has to in an ideal where Old

1673
01:27:01,160 --> 01:27:04,400
Speaker 2: get an early lead, or at the very least keep

1674
01:27:04,439 --> 01:27:10,160
Speaker 2: it close, because I think if you let Dallas get

1675
01:27:10,200 --> 01:27:12,800
Speaker 2: off to a fast start, just as they have each

1676
01:27:12,880 --> 01:27:16,320
Speaker 2: of the last five weeks, they'll just put it into

1677
01:27:16,400 --> 01:27:19,559
Speaker 2: cruise control mode and roll and say we got another

1678
01:27:19,600 --> 01:27:22,080
Speaker 2: one here. Let's just keep it going right where if

1679
01:27:22,120 --> 01:27:25,599
Speaker 2: you make life difficult for them and they're punting, which

1680
01:27:25,720 --> 01:27:28,200
Speaker 2: they some people don't think they're going to do on Sunday,

1681
01:27:29,960 --> 01:27:32,800
Speaker 2: I think that let's doubt creep in a little bit

1682
01:27:33,120 --> 01:27:35,000
Speaker 2: and you let the crowd, get into it and get

1683
01:27:35,080 --> 01:27:37,400
Speaker 2: on them, and then you might have something.

1684
01:27:38,280 --> 01:27:41,519
Speaker 1: I agree. I think keeping the Cowboys from getting off

1685
01:27:41,560 --> 01:27:45,280
Speaker 1: to a lightning start offensively is huge. It's something that

1686
01:27:45,439 --> 01:27:47,719
Speaker 1: has really helped them in their five game win streak.

1687
01:27:47,840 --> 01:27:50,120
Speaker 1: You've said it, they're really good in the first half

1688
01:27:50,160 --> 01:27:53,000
Speaker 1: of games, and that's a credit to Mike McCarthy. I

1689
01:27:53,080 --> 01:27:55,479
Speaker 1: think this is one time when the Bills defense has

1690
01:27:55,600 --> 01:27:58,240
Speaker 1: to get a handle on what they're doing offensively quick.

1691
01:27:59,600 --> 01:28:02,679
Speaker 1: We've seen the Bills, you know, even under Leslie Fraser

1692
01:28:02,760 --> 01:28:05,160
Speaker 1: and certainly under Sean McDermott to a certain extent, where

1693
01:28:05,520 --> 01:28:07,080
Speaker 1: it takes a minute to get the handle on what

1694
01:28:07,200 --> 01:28:09,880
Speaker 1: their scheme is, what they're doing, and then then they

1695
01:28:09,920 --> 01:28:13,280
Speaker 1: shut them down later in the game. I think in

1696
01:28:13,400 --> 01:28:16,240
Speaker 1: this game, more so than anything, is it's really important

1697
01:28:16,360 --> 01:28:19,120
Speaker 1: for this offensively and defensively to get off to a

1698
01:28:19,200 --> 01:28:23,320
Speaker 1: fast start. And because like I said earlier, I think

1699
01:28:23,360 --> 01:28:26,760
Speaker 1: this Cowboys team is an elite front runner. Front running team.

1700
01:28:26,800 --> 01:28:28,920
Speaker 1: If they get out in front, you don't catch them,

1701
01:28:29,080 --> 01:28:31,599
Speaker 1: no matter who you are. So if you can keep

1702
01:28:31,640 --> 01:28:33,880
Speaker 1: them from doing that, it gives them something more to

1703
01:28:33,960 --> 01:28:36,880
Speaker 1: think about and it muddies the water for them. Yeah.

1704
01:28:37,560 --> 01:28:40,200
Speaker 2: Jack. With a final question from the mailbag, what position, group,

1705
01:28:40,280 --> 01:28:42,280
Speaker 2: or individual player do you expect to have the biggest

1706
01:28:42,280 --> 01:28:45,880
Speaker 2: impact on Sunday's game. Other than Josh Allen, I think

1707
01:28:45,920 --> 01:28:49,880
Speaker 2: it's Buffalo's defensive line. They really have to win, make

1708
01:28:50,000 --> 01:28:52,800
Speaker 2: life difficult for Dak Muddy the waters for him on

1709
01:28:52,920 --> 01:28:55,760
Speaker 2: the back end, you know, the safeties and such. But

1710
01:28:56,200 --> 01:28:59,040
Speaker 2: the guys up front, they are the strength of Buffalo's defense.

1711
01:28:59,120 --> 01:29:01,400
Speaker 2: They got to bring it home again on Sunday.

1712
01:29:01,560 --> 01:29:04,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. They got to find a way to

1713
01:29:04,360 --> 01:29:07,719
Speaker 1: get Dack uncomfortable, certainly with the crowd on their side

1714
01:29:07,760 --> 01:29:09,640
Speaker 1: and getting a snap count and getting a jump on

1715
01:29:09,720 --> 01:29:11,839
Speaker 1: the ball, or having their offensive line of the Cowboys

1716
01:29:11,960 --> 01:29:16,360
Speaker 1: wait until you know. Because of the crowd noise, it

1717
01:29:16,439 --> 01:29:19,080
Speaker 1: gives them a chance and that's gonna be hugely important.

1718
01:29:19,320 --> 01:29:21,879
Speaker 2: Dallas has a lot on the line. With a victory,

1719
01:29:22,000 --> 01:29:25,160
Speaker 2: they can clinch a playoff Berth on Sunday. There's also

1720
01:29:25,200 --> 01:29:28,360
Speaker 2: a bunch of ways they can do it with a loss.

1721
01:29:28,680 --> 01:29:32,240
Speaker 2: So they got stuff on the line. Steve, and I'll

1722
01:29:32,320 --> 01:29:34,479
Speaker 2: talk to you about it on Monday at noon. We'll

1723
01:29:34,479 --> 01:29:35,639
Speaker 2: see you then. Enjoy the game.
