1
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:35,240
Speaker 1: The is One Bills Live presented by Called Light of Health.

2
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 1: All right, here we are on a Tuesday, Chris Brown,

3
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker with you back on the TV side as

4
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 1: well as the radio side. One Bills Live is the show.

5
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 1: Happy to have you with us as we begin to

6
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 1: turn the page from wildcard playoff weekend to divisional playoff weekend.

7
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 1: And we'll get to some of the details we wish

8
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: to discuss. Oh yeah, wave high to them. I was

9
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: up Steve for our listeners. Yeah, And we'll get into

10
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 1: the nuts and bolts of what we want to discuss

11
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 1: today in due course. Here I do want to review though, Steve,

12
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 1: and I found, you know, some coach McDermott was doing

13
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 1: a Monday press conferences like he does all the time

14
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: on Zoom with the media after games. So did Leslie Frasier,

15
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: so did Ken Dorsey the OC and you know, there

16
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: were some interesting comments from each of them. The one

17
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 1: that kind of left people wondering what could happen as

18
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: the week moves on. Micah Hyde was deemed to not

19
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 1: be an option for a return this week, and coach

20
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: McDermott had said as much last Friday. He reiterated it yesterday,

21
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: easy for me to say. And then he was also

22
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: asked about the potential availability of Jamison Crowder and he said,

23
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: I don't know what that is yet. Would I would

24
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 1: imagine he was expecting to be asked about Micah, So

25
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 1: we made sure he had the updated medical situation on

26
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: him and he will not be part of the equation

27
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,239
Speaker 1: or added to the active roster this week for the

28
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 1: divisional playoff game against Cincinnati. But he did not yet

29
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:22,119
Speaker 1: know what the situation was concerning Jamison Crowder, which would

30
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,679
Speaker 1: at least, you know, we don't want to assume, but

31
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 1: it would seem to lend credence to the possibility that

32
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: the door could be open a crack for Jamison Crowder

33
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 1: this week. I mean, we don't know anything, but he's practicing.

34
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: He's practiced last week. We're assuming he'll be practicing again

35
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: this week, as both he and Micah Hyde had their

36
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: twenty one day practice windows opened last week and they

37
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 1: have twenty one days to make a decision on those two.

38
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 1: But that would be an interesting development to a receiving

39
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: corps that has already had a new permanent addition in

40
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 1: terms of the act roster, with Cole Beasley being added

41
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 1: to the active roster this past week, which now gives

42
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: them five receivers on the active roster. We'll see if

43
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,519
Speaker 1: Isaiah McKenzie can come back from the hamstring injury that

44
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 1: kept him out of last week's game, he would be

45
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:17,639
Speaker 1: the fifth, and then if Jamison Crowder is added, you're

46
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 1: back up to six, which is where you were every

47
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: week for each of the previous two seasons. So I'm

48
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 1: not saying it's going to happen. I don't know if

49
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,639
Speaker 1: it will happen, but it hasn't been ruled out. I

50
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: guess you can say we started this season knowing we

51
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: were feeling like the Bills were really in a good

52
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: spot with their wide receiver room with Crowder, Mackenzie, Davis Digs, Shakier,

53
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: Kumaro Hodgens was still here then as well. I mean

54
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: that's some guys. And the problem was, and we had

55
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: a couple of discussions like this, like, well, what are

56
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: they gonna do? I mean, who they you know, who's

57
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: gonna be up and down that kind of thing. They're

58
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: back in the same spot they'll sit. The problem is,

59
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: in my opinion, Crowder hasn't played much because we don't

60
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: know correct we don't even know. We've got in Crowder

61
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: Adart to drop him into a playoff game, so he's

62
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: a veteran, it hasn't played since I think Week four

63
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 1: or five. And then you've got, yeah, the Baltimore game again.

64
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: Then you've got Klil Shakier, who is actually on a

65
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: crescendo in my opinion, right, he's kind of coming on up,

66
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: trending up. So is Beasley. He's trending up. So is

67
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: Gabe Davis, he's trending up. Um, and Diggs is right

68
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: where he's always been, right at the top. I don't

69
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 1: know why you're gonna throw a wrench into that, Yeah,

70
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: particularly since in the last your last four games you

71
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 1: scored thirty plus points in all of them, ye, two

72
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: of which we're against the Dolphins, two of which we're

73
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: against the Dolphins, and one of which was a playoff game.

74
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 1: So yeah, Okay, it's great they're available and all that,

75
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 1: but I don't know if you know if there's room

76
00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: right now? Yeah, and if there is, who sits right,

77
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: because there's nobody off that roster last week with all

78
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:08,359
Speaker 1: those guys catching balls, you know, Beasley's touchdown, Shaquier's enormous

79
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: catches that he made, Diggs, Davis, I mean, all those guys,

80
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: they were killer catches that you gotta have. And you

81
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: gonna sit one of those guys down now, Yeah, I

82
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: mean it's hard for me. That was my biggest takeaway

83
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:25,679
Speaker 1: from Sunday's game was the fact that the guys behind

84
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:31,359
Speaker 1: Digs in the receiving pecking order made big contributions, most

85
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 1: notably when Miami decided we're not gonna let Diggs beat

86
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 1: us anymore in the second half the way he did

87
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 1: in the first half, and they made adjustments defensively, So

88
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 1: what was on the rest of the receiving corps It

89
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 1: makes him hey, and they did. Davis has a touchdown,

90
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 1: Beasley as a touchdown, Shakier makes a couple of big plays.

91
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox obviously. So that was that was the biggest

92
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: thing to come out of the game for me, because

93
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 1: it wasn't just guys chipping in here or there. We're

94
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 1: making big plays. Yeah, there's big moments. And I think

95
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 1: that that makes Buffalo a little bit more difficult to

96
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,039
Speaker 1: prepare for for Cincinnati this week, where they just can't

97
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: focus all their attention on Diggs and say Okay, we're good.

98
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: You know, maybe in the red zone we worry about

99
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:15,919
Speaker 1: Knocks a little bit because he's on a little bit

100
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 1: of a scoring streak, you know. Other than that will

101
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: be fine. I don't think that's what the game tape

102
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: from last week from the Bills is telling the Bengals

103
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 1: right now. I think it's telling a very different story,

104
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:28,600
Speaker 1: which I think is a good thing going forward. So

105
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 1: that's what's encouraging, right and that's where we are. So

106
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: we'll see. Yeah, I tend to agree with you don't upset,

107
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 1: you know, don't break it if it's not or don't

108
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: try to fix it if it's not broken, you know,

109
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: that kind of thing, and maybe they do. Wait, So

110
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 1: that's kind of how I view it. So we'll see.

111
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:53,600
Speaker 1: We'll see what comes of it. I'm sure he'll get

112
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 1: it's going to be an interesting week, not only for

113
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: the Bills, and I think at this point for most

114
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 1: Bills fans, you're kind of looking at the Bengals to see,

115
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,359
Speaker 1: you know, what's their deal, most notably with their offensive line.

116
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 1: They got three starters that couldn't finish the game, two

117
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: of the more out for the game and one of

118
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 1: the third one their left tackle Jone Williams couldn't finish

119
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: the game. That's an enormous issue for a team without

120
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 1: Von Miller, who needs a pass rush in this game.

121
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: So we're gonna be watching that on their side, getting

122
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: a chance to have Crowder back in the lineup. I

123
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 1: don't know if that moves the needle for the Bengals

124
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 1: at all, when you know, when they've got Digs and Davis,

125
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: Mackenzie and Beasley to worry about, along with Cook and Singletary,

126
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: so I and Knox, I mean, he's the list goes on.

127
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: So it's this game is really interesting. It's gonna be

128
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: a gazillion people watching this game because of the Monday

129
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: night game that happened when Damar went down and got hurt,

130
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 1: and now that he's back around, it's doing well, everything's different.

131
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: And it's also in Buffalo. I mean, every I know

132
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: it's a standalone game. All four of these games are

133
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 1: gonna be standalone games this weekend. But man oh man,

134
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a gazillion people watching this game in

135
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: the US. Yeah, no question. This is really going to

136
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 1: be interesting to see how what happened on Monday night,

137
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 1: how that affects both teams. The added fuel to the

138
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 1: fire that Cincinnati has for now having to come to

139
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 1: Buffalo after the decision was made that they're gonna get

140
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to play Buffalo and Buffalo and Buffalo

141
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 1: gets the two seed, not the three seed, and vice versa,

142
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 1: and that this game wasn't on a neutral site like

143
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: the championship Game's gonna be for Buffalo Kansas City, you know,

144
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 1: and since Night's got a legitimate beef about that, they're

145
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 1: the ones who are standing there going come on, you know,

146
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: we're the only team to beat both those or they

147
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 1: can say they beat us, but you know, we're the

148
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: only team that had a chance to beat both those teams.

149
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 1: We beat Kansas City just like Buffalo did. Can they

150
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 1: say they beat us? They didn't really do. No, they didn't,

151
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: but they can't say that. No, they can't say that.

152
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 1: But that's the thought for them. They had that they

153
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: felt good about their chances at home getting that done.

154
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 1: If they do, you know, then this game happens in Cincinnati.

155
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of fuel on the fire for

156
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 1: Cincinnati playing the nobody you know, they're up against us

157
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 1: kind of card that fuels players Cincinnati's got boatloads of

158
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: motivation of the of that finger quote disrespect motivation, and

159
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 1: they got a beef. There's no question about it. They're

160
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: the guys that you know, got the knife in the

161
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: back through the whole um adjusting of the schedule. So

162
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 1: that's gonna be on the table. It's gonna be here

163
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. The home crowd's gonna help all of that.

164
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 1: But man, oh man, what a scene it's gonna be

165
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 1: this Sunday. Eight teams left and all four games are

166
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: being played Saturday Sunday. It's gonna be awesome. It's gonna

167
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 1: be awesome. Yeah, looking at how the Bills, you know,

168
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 1: kind of get ready for this one. I know you

169
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 1: and I touched on this yesterday and both Ken Dorsey

170
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 1: and Leslie Frasier were asked the very thing we were

171
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:09,199
Speaker 1: discussing in their press conferences with the media, which was,

172
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 1: you had a game plan all set to go for

173
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 1: the Bengals three weeks ago. How much of that are

174
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: you bringing into this game because you basically played half

175
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 1: a quarter of football. There's no way your whole plan

176
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: was unveiled. I mean, the offense had one possession and

177
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: the defense was on the field for a possession and

178
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 1: a half essentially before the game was stopped. So coach

179
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 1: Dorsey said, you can look at some of the things

180
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 1: that maybe you wanted to implement, but the rosters figure

181
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: to be a little bit different from what they were

182
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 1: three weeks ago, the Bengals injuries on the offensive line

183
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 1: being a notable part of that equation. You know, Cole

184
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 1: Beasley wasn't on the active roster for the Bills at

185
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:07,959
Speaker 1: the time, so things change week to week, and Dorsey

186
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: wasn't one hundred percent certain as to how much carry

187
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:15,199
Speaker 1: over you could have with three weeks gone by. Leslie

188
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:20,319
Speaker 1: Frasier was of the same mindset. He said, while we

189
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: may get a little bit of a head start because

190
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: of all the work we just did three weeks ago,

191
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: it's we're not going in with an identical game plan.

192
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 1: We have to tweak and change some things based on

193
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 1: what's happened with their football team and what's happened with

194
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 1: our football team on the last few weeks. Early on

195
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: in that game, both offenses were cutting through them. Yeah,

196
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 1: I mean Josh and the Company went down, had an

197
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 1: incompletion to Beasley going in that gave them the field goal.

198
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: Try and the Bengals, you know, they didn't take a

199
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: hic up either. They went down the field score to

200
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 1: touchdown their opening drive and had a nice couple of plays,

201
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 1: a nice couple of plays to begin their second drive

202
00:11:56,679 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 1: before Damars incident happened. So both these clubs offensively felt

203
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 1: like they were humming to start that game. And I

204
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 1: would think they're gonna pick up try and pick up

205
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,719
Speaker 1: right where they left off. I mean this to these

206
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 1: two quarterbacks, they're they're different, but you know, everything, everything

207
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: comes from them on for both these clubs, both offensively

208
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 1: and defensively. It's it's gonna be something to see. It's

209
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of fun. But the rosters at

210
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 1: this point of the season, you would think are said it.

211
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 1: You know, back then, back in the old days, all

212
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 1: the rosters were like granted, I anyway as well chisel

213
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 1: them in week one into a piece of rock and

214
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: that's you could have it for the pro as your

215
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 1: program the entire season. Nowadays, there's a man, it it

216
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 1: changes week to week vastly, and Bills have had to

217
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 1: jump through those hoops to do that. You know, they're

218
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: still they do it even now they're doing it so

219
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: with Crowder and Micah Hyde, I don't remember a time

220
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: we've had to monitor rosters this late in the season

221
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 1: the way we're doing these days, not just for the

222
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,319
Speaker 1: Bills and Bengals, but for all the teams. Let's doing

223
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 1: part to the expanded practice squad, the looser roster rules

224
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 1: in terms of practice squad elevations, those are unlimited in

225
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 1: the In the postseason, you know, you can have two

226
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:22,320
Speaker 1: and those players aren't limited by a number of elevations,

227
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,680
Speaker 1: which during the regular season is capped at three. So yeah,

228
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: there is more roster flexibility now than ever before, brought

229
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 1: on in part by the COVID pandemic back in twenty twenty,

230
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 1: when they knew they had to make rosters more flexible

231
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 1: to EBB and flow with potential COVID team outbreaks and

232
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 1: things like that. And I think a lot of gms

233
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: around the league we're like, wow, this makes things a

234
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:51,080
Speaker 1: lot easier getting to game day in a seventeen game season,

235
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:55,679
Speaker 1: So well, let's keep it right and they have so yeah,

236
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 1: that's and I'll I think a lot of coaches are

237
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:00,319
Speaker 1: probably happy about that as well, because you know, we

238
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 1: hear them talk all the time about player availability, and

239
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 1: when you have a bigger practice squad and you have

240
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 1: more roster flexibility, you're not hamstrung by lack of player

241
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 1: availability due to injury. It is an enormous benefit. Not

242
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 1: only and I don't want to get you know, too

243
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: philosophical or but people want to see good guys play

244
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 1: and they want to see him play well. And you

245
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 1: get a chance with these rosters the way they are,

246
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: for people to get exposed to way more guys down

247
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 1: the line in the roster than they normally would have it.

248
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 1: You know, like I said, back way back in the day,

249
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 1: it was you know, you'd have maybe what sixteen guys

250
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: play any link any amount of offensive snaps in a season.

251
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 1: Sixteen guys and then on same thing, on the defense,

252
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: you may have a nickelback and that's about it, and

253
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 1: maybe rotate one defensive end pass rush guy. That's it.

254
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 1: It was set in stone. You had like literally there

255
00:14:56,760 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: were thirty two guys who really played. Now over the

256
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 1: course of the season, you'll have thirty on both sides

257
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 1: of the ball. With rosters and injuries and ups and downs,

258
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 1: role play, you know, wholesale personnel changes, it's amazing. So

259
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 1: people get used to seeing more and more different names

260
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 1: on the field and contributing in different ways, and I

261
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 1: think it's better. The league's better for it. And you

262
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 1: get guys who do some things really, really well, and

263
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 1: you get a chance to witness that, you get a

264
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 1: chance to see them on the field, and it is

265
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 1: better for the game is better for these guys. The

266
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 1: load is less on them and they can stay healthy

267
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: and you can watch them deeper into the season rather

268
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 1: than losing a guy in Week three and they never

269
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: see him again until next September. So it's way better

270
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 1: now than it's ever been. And part of the reason

271
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 1: is because they've they've given the gems and head coaches

272
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 1: and all these flexibility with their roster, given more bodies

273
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 1: to work with, and given more guys, guys like me

274
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 1: a chance to contribute, and they're highly motivated to do it.

275
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 1: This week's game sponsor is Northtown. Whatever you're looking for,

276
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 1: you'll find it at Northtown, the official automotive dealer the

277
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills shop online at northtown Auto dot com. Time

278
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: for us to go around the NFL, which is presented

279
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 1: by Kalida Health, the official healthcare system of the Buffalo

280
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 1: Bills and the Divisional round playoff schedule is now finalized

281
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 1: after the Dallas Cowboys convincing victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

282
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 1: The final was thirty one to fourteen, and it wasn't

283
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 1: even that close. As Dak Prescott throws five touchdowns in

284
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: the game. Guy was on fire, on fire. It was

285
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 1: actually I'll say there because didn't he run one in? Yes,

286
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 1: he had a boot, he ran one in. So I'll

287
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 1: say five totals. The thing about the thing passing touchdowns, yeah,

288
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 1: through through for four, ran for one. And I'll say this,

289
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 1: and I know maybe it's scar tissue from my youth,

290
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 1: but man, oh man, nobody front run. It's like the Cowboys.

291
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 1: Those guys just want to He just makes you want

292
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:06,880
Speaker 1: to hit him with a ball bat. You know why

293
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,160
Speaker 1: they're hated. And one of the things about it too,

294
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:14,200
Speaker 1: is happens every time you see Dallas Cowboys play. They

295
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 1: show the owner's box a lot, Jerry Jones and his

296
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:20,199
Speaker 1: family and they're happy and it's let's face, has been

297
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: a long time since they've been able to taste victory

298
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, and they got it last night in

299
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 1: a big way. Beat Tom Brady and the Buccaneers and

300
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 1: beat them soundly. It was not close. Speaking of Tom Brady,

301
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 1: he says there is no timetable on his decision for

302
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 1: his football future. After the Books were eliminated from the

303
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 1: playoffs last night, he is set to become a free agent.

304
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 1: His remarks at the postgame lectern were interesting though, when

305
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:49,160
Speaker 1: he wrapped it up basically thanking the media for all

306
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:53,919
Speaker 1: their support and interest and covering the team. And I

307
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,879
Speaker 1: don't know it, it sounded a little bit like a

308
00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 1: farewell speech to a certain extent. Yeah, he didn't. I

309
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 1: don't think he did that last year. Yeah, I was

310
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 1: just thinking though it does seem like maybe it had

311
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:08,919
Speaker 1: a little bit of finality to it, but it was

312
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: also I've heard the same thing. I could see another

313
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 1: guy doing. A different guy, a long time vet like

314
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 1: Brady probably does have a little bit more awareness that, hey, guys,

315
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 1: thanks had been great and it might not be finality

316
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 1: in terms of his playing career, but finality in terms

317
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 1: of playing for the Bucks. Yeah. Oh yeah, I think

318
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,120
Speaker 1: that's I could see that. That's almost a lock. That's

319
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:32,640
Speaker 1: that's right, that's fine. I yeah, but yeah, that had

320
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:34,879
Speaker 1: I don't think it had any bearing I had maybe

321
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:36,399
Speaker 1: on his career with the Bucks, but I don't think

322
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,880
Speaker 1: it had any bearing on his future because, as we said,

323
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 1: we've seen him change his mind, so whatever he felt

324
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 1: like last night after the game could change. As he

325
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 1: kind of rest takes her in and says, do I

326
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 1: want to do this again? I'll say this. I was

327
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:54,359
Speaker 1: on a really good team when I played, and I

328
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,160
Speaker 1: know a lot of guys who played with me through

329
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 1: all of those things, including I've seen Marv speak to

330
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 1: this as well, the head coach. You get to a

331
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: point like Brady must have been must be at this

332
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 1: point where he's won so much and so many big games,

333
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:15,439
Speaker 1: really big games. The losses are so devastating, and the

334
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 1: wins don't bring you the same joy as they once did.

335
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 1: Even the regular season wins, they don't bring you the

336
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 1: same joy. But every loss is just soul crushing, and

337
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 1: I think it wears you out quick when when you're

338
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:30,400
Speaker 1: not on the same team and the team's not as good,

339
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 1: you're not winning this the way you once did. You

340
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 1: have to play almost one hundred percent perfect to win games.

341
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,360
Speaker 1: You just need the same different roster, different team. All

342
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 1: of that stuff goes into it. It's really soul crushing

343
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 1: to try and get yourself ready to play for a

344
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,359
Speaker 1: team in that situation. I think Brady, after you lose

345
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 1: like Brady did yesterday last night, it's got to be

346
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 1: soul crushing for a guy who's won so much and

347
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,400
Speaker 1: now you know, to get thrown back as we always

348
00:19:58,400 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 1: stay to the bottom of the mountain that you gotta

349
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 1: climb every season. It's soul crushing in that moment. So

350
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 1: I'm for a lot of guys that I played with,

351
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 1: and for me, it really became difficult to find joy

352
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,159
Speaker 1: in playing and preparing, and then all the fun you

353
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,880
Speaker 1: had do in the game, um just starts to ebb

354
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 1: away and it's never you'd never get it back. I

355
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 1: can see Brady in a place where he might be

356
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:28,920
Speaker 1: kind of there on a day like today, obviously, Um,

357
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: but I don't know. I he still plays better quarterback

358
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: than a lot of guys in at the bottom half

359
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 1: of the y. He's not He's not a top two

360
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 1: or three quarterback anymore, that's for sure, right, I Mean,

361
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 1: he's just not. I noticed that as well. When you

362
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 1: see him throw the football and it doesn't go right

363
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:49,639
Speaker 1: into the guys right where the guy needs it. That's

364
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,200
Speaker 1: not Tom Brady and that's not what we saw last night.

365
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:55,399
Speaker 1: The other thing that came out of that game was

366
00:20:55,880 --> 00:21:02,719
Speaker 1: Cowboys kicker Brett mah missed four extra points, the most

367
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 1: in NFL history in a playoff game. And this guy

368
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 1: has been pretty solid all season long. I think all

369
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 1: season he had three PA team misses. The entire season,

370
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 1: he has hi he hit. I know he's had a

371
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 1: solid seasons. Four last night and you could tell after

372
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,159
Speaker 1: the second one the guy had the yips after that,

373
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:27,879
Speaker 1: I mean he's overcompensating. On the third one, he hooks

374
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 1: it after pushing two to the right. It was it

375
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 1: was a rough go and I saw Ross Tucker tweet

376
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 1: this and I was in the exact same place. I

377
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:45,679
Speaker 1: was miserable, not only for that guy. Not only for

378
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 1: that guy, but think about his family, like his wife,

379
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 1: his kids. They're wondering if the guy's gonna have a

380
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 1: job next week. I mean, you're going to play the Niners.

381
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 1: That's gonna be a much tighter game than this one was.

382
00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 1: If he doesn't show he's got that fixed and practice

383
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 1: on Wednesday, they might be rolling guys in on Thursday.

384
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:13,640
Speaker 1: My son held for kicks for that guy in Hamilton

385
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 1: for the CFL. Great dude, he knows him well. And

386
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:21,359
Speaker 1: my son was sick last night watching him, just feeling

387
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:23,879
Speaker 1: bad for He texted He's like, oh my gosh because

388
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 1: that's his boy, right and just watching the kid kick.

389
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 1: I've never seen anything like it. I've never seen anything

390
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 1: like I've seen a guy have a rough stretch where

391
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 1: he'll go one, you know, miss one or two, miss

392
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:41,359
Speaker 1: one of two and then missed two field goals that

393
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 1: you know, kind of a bad day. Never seen anything

394
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 1: like that ever. And there is because the ball was

395
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:51,359
Speaker 1: popping off his leg and he still had the ball

396
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,640
Speaker 1: jumped when he hit it. The holds were fine as

397
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 1: far as anybody could tell that, laces were perfect, the

398
00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 1: ball was there and he just missed. And that is

399
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 1: proof positive for those of you who don't play sports.

400
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:12,679
Speaker 1: It's all between your ears. Yeah, it's all between your ears.

401
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 1: There is no other way to put that. That is.

402
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 1: That is something that is a mindset and nothing else.

403
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:23,159
Speaker 1: The thing that is so amazing, particularly about kickers that

404
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 1: you see go through that is they have done that

405
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:33,680
Speaker 1: leg swing hundreds of thousands of times, at the very

406
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 1: least tens of thousands. I mean it is pretty much

407
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:42,160
Speaker 1: etched as motor memory in a kicker's brain, and yet

408
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 1: something crawls in there and can mess it up. Even

409
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 1: though your body could probably do that swing in your sleep,

410
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 1: do you know what I mean? Like, it's just it's

411
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 1: so uncanny, how that how that doubt can creep in quickly,

412
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 1: especially for a professional. Yeah, I would. I would be

413
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 1: interested to see if and wonder if if Maher had

414
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 1: if he had like a sore ankle, sore shoulder, store

415
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:10,119
Speaker 1: wrist And you think, why is a wrist or an

416
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 1: ankle or shoulderhood? And I'll say this and this is

417
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,439
Speaker 1: this is my life philosophy about I've told you this.

418
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 1: When you see a guy limping anything, wow, that guy

419
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:22,200
Speaker 1: must be really hurting. Well, quite the opposite is true.

420
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 1: When he limps, he does that so he doesn't hurt.

421
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:27,440
Speaker 1: You see what I'm saying. He's walking with a limp,

422
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:30,719
Speaker 1: so he won't hurt. When you have a body motion

423
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:32,640
Speaker 1: like you're swinging a golf club or kicking a ball

424
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:35,160
Speaker 1: or doing that, and you have an ache and your

425
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:37,200
Speaker 1: body will swing and do that motion that you've done

426
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand times in a way that's pain free

427
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 1: because you'll it's a limp, but it wasn't. It doesn't

428
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 1: manifest itself when you walk. It manifests itself when you

429
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 1: do that thing, that golf swing, that leg swing, whatever

430
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 1: it is, climbing stairs, whatever. So if he had an

431
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:56,119
Speaker 1: ache somewhere in his body that his body was compensating for,

432
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:00,639
Speaker 1: he would swing through and it would feel normal because

433
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 1: his body was quote unquote limping, you know what I'm saying.

434
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 1: So I'd be really interested to see what he felt

435
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:07,479
Speaker 1: like physically, because if you if you're a shoulder, if

436
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:11,160
Speaker 1: you gotta if you're a kicker and you're left shoulder

437
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 1: blade is aching, nobody cares, right, But if they knew

438
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 1: that it was gonna affect your swing, yeah maybe they would.

439
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,159
Speaker 1: That's exactly what happened to Ryan Lindel when he was

440
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 1: the kicker here. He covered a kick, he had to

441
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 1: make a tackle, he got injured, and the next two

442
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: weeks we're a little bit of an adventure for him

443
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:30,399
Speaker 1: kicking because on his swing that things like sending a

444
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:33,919
Speaker 1: shooting pain down his spine. I was saying, it'll make

445
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:35,720
Speaker 1: you a grip a little bit. I held. I was

446
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 1: a holder for Steve Christie. We went over, Bruce to Haven,

447
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:39,959
Speaker 1: Steve Christie, Adam Linger. We all go over and we're

448
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 1: gonna kick field goals in the stadium on a day.

449
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,920
Speaker 1: And so we're over there and I'm holding everything's going fine.

450
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 1: Steve's everything is outside is wide right, Steve Christie not

451
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 1: Scott Norwood, so everything every kick and he can't. He's

452
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 1: like this and they're telling Bruce is like, hey, maybe

453
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 1: you know they're talking and having all these conversation and

454
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 1: Steve goes, oh, he goes on and Steve's, oh, I

455
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:04,679
Speaker 1: know what it is. He goes what. He goes, My

456
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:07,920
Speaker 1: left ankle's been bothering me. My left ankles sore. And Bruce,

457
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,200
Speaker 1: you know, Bruce watch Special Teams coach. You's got steam gunning.

458
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 1: You gotta tell me that. What do you do? He

459
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 1: ain't done, so they that's what does it? You gotta

460
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:19,160
Speaker 1: store left ankle. You're gonna kick. He says, that doesn't

461
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 1: bother me. I'm still gonna kick. But it affects the

462
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,640
Speaker 1: kick in a way. You know, you kick pain free,

463
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:28,880
Speaker 1: no matter what you swing pain free. But you gotta

464
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,159
Speaker 1: know you gotta trust it that it's not gonna go

465
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 1: where you think it's gonna go and you gotta play it.

466
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 1: So maybe Maher had that last night for the Cowboys.

467
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 1: Maybe he did have some pain somewhere that was affecting

468
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 1: his ability to kick smooth. But let's face it, he

469
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:44,160
Speaker 1: was compensating. He went right and went left, went back

470
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 1: to the right. He had three different he had misses

471
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:50,639
Speaker 1: on both sides. He was sprained it everywhere. Oh my gosh,

472
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 1: it was terrible. You may have also seen, if you

473
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:58,360
Speaker 1: watched the game, Buccaneer's wide receiver Russell gauged it taken

474
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 1: off on a stretch. Sure he sustained a concussion and

475
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 1: possible neck injury. But the good news is the reports

476
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:08,439
Speaker 1: from the hospital this morning are he has full movement

477
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:13,120
Speaker 1: of his extremities. So it looks like we're getting good

478
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 1: reports on his condition going forward, So that's good news.

479
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 1: Then we also have the situation with Sean Payton, who

480
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 1: is clearly an in demand future head coaching candidate. He's

481
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 1: done some interview he's done some radio interviews, Steve saying, well, yeah,

482
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:34,359
Speaker 1: I think the compensation for me it'll be a first

483
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:36,879
Speaker 1: round pick. I was like, wow, this, I mean, you

484
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 1: don't usually see that, do you know what? I mean,

485
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 1: so there he is doing interviews saying, oh, the compensation

486
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 1: for me, the Saints are going to have to get

487
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 1: a first round pick since they still have my contractual rights.

488
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 1: And one of his more recent interviews was with the

489
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:52,399
Speaker 1: Houston Texans for their head coach opening. I'll say this too,

490
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:56,479
Speaker 1: that is, and I think that's an enormous chilling effect

491
00:27:56,520 --> 00:28:01,679
Speaker 1: on his ability to get hired. You got right, you

492
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 1: read an article to me. We read that article to

493
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 1: about you know, the Chargers and people who have covered

494
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:08,399
Speaker 1: them for years and years. They just don't believe that

495
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 1: the Chargers would be in a position to pay four

496
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:13,680
Speaker 1: times the going rate for a first time head coach

497
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 1: that they would have to pay to get Sean Payton. Now,

498
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:19,920
Speaker 1: Peyton's won a Super Bowl, He's won one Super Bowl, right,

499
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 1: but I don't I think there are there's a maybe

500
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 1: more than a handful of teams where he's off the table. Well,

501
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,719
Speaker 1: he's interviewing with the Broncos today because we know the

502
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:37,400
Speaker 1: Penner Group and the Walton group who owned the Broncos,

503
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 1: said they're going to spare no expense, and we know

504
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 1: they got deep pockets after paying what was it, almost

505
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 1: five billion point six billion, almost five billion for the Broncos.

506
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 1: So he is interviewing with the Broncos today. They fired

507
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 1: their head coach from last year, if with a five

508
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 1: year deal that they still got to pay out. That

509
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 1: was the first time head coach. Probably not as much

510
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 1: money as what Peyton's gonna cost them. And they're gonna

511
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 1: have to part with the first round pick, yeah, which

512
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 1: I don't know that they have now that I'm thinking

513
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 1: about it. They gave it to the Seattle Seahawks for Russell. Yeah,

514
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 1: so the early Actually I think they might have given

515
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 1: him two. So they might not have a first round

516
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 1: pick to give the Saints until twenty twenty five and

517
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 1: then they become the Rams without the guys in return. Yeah. Um, yeah,

518
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 1: we'll see. But Sean Payton is a is a hot commodity.

519
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 1: People are very high on him. Um. It was even

520
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 1: rumored that Jerry Jones wanted him badly to be the

521
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 1: coach of the Cowboys. And now you know, Mike McCarthy

522
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 1: is probably solidified his spot. Probably good for next year,

523
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 1: probably good for this next year. Yeah. Um, I don't know.

524
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 1: It's interesting, but we're gonna have keep an eye on

525
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 1: all the you know, coaching open five coaching openings right now,

526
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 1: so they're gonna get filled here in short order. Usually

527
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 1: there's more. Well, that's right, you're right. We did see.

528
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 1: The Chargers fired their oc today, Joe m Party, along

529
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 1: with their quarterbacks coach. So some change there in LA

530
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 1: and we understand why you're up twenty seven to nothing.

531
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 1: And in the second half the Chargers through twenty eight

532
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 1: passes and ran the ball five times with a twenty

533
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 1: seven point lead. They did exactly what the Atlanta Falcons

534
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 1: did in the Super Bowl loss to the Patriots. The

535
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 1: same thing. Runs some clock. For God's sake, folks, Folks

536
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 1: feed at home. I'm suffering through Brownie's disdain for what

537
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 1: the how the Chargers brew the twenty seven point lead,

538
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 1: and Joey Boza absolutely vilified the official though he was

539
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 1: blaming that. He'll get, he'll get. You want to talk

540
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 1: about misplaced man. You lost the game. You lost the game,

541
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 1: and I don't know why. Yeah, the rafts you were

542
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 1: up twenty seven, bro, Yeah, they were looking great. Four

543
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 1: interceptions in the first half for Trevor Lawrence and from

544
00:30:57,840 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 1: that point on to two minutes left in the first

545
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 1: TAFF through the end of the game, Trevor Lawrence went

546
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 1: twenty three of twenty six four touchdowns, brought him back

547
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 1: and beat him and won the game. So it was

548
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 1: it was quite the game. Yeah. Now here's the thing before,

549
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 1: I know, we got to get the break with the

550
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 1: Jaguars after you expended all that energy and had such

551
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 1: an emotional victory in a comeback, aren't you worried like

552
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 1: they got nothing in the tank to play the Chiefs

553
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 1: this week? I'm worried they got like nothing in the

554
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 1: tank to play the Chiefs. I mean, maybe they do,

555
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 1: and I'm over analyzing that, but well, they got a

556
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 1: coach who knows what it's like. Yeah, you know, so

557
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 1: he'll be able to get the most out of Peterson,

558
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 1: will be the I don't know. Here's the thing. I mean,

559
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:45,480
Speaker 1: I get it because we've got a lot of we've

560
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 1: got a lot of scar tissue play in Kansas City

561
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 1: in Kansas City, But I don't know if you get

562
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 1: to if the Bills are fortunate enough to get to

563
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 1: the AFC Championship Game. Let me just tell you, no

564
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 1: matter who it is, you're gonna be really worried sick

565
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 1: about him, whether it's the Jaguars or the Jeeves and

566
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 1: our crack same thing for those teams. They're gonna be

567
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 1: worried sick where it's the Bengals or the Bills, and

568
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 1: our crack staff in the control room just reminded us.

569
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 1: The Bronchos do have a first round pick from the

570
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 1: Dolphins for the Bradley Chub trade. It's the forty nine

571
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 1: ers first round pick through the Dolphins and given to

572
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:22,480
Speaker 1: them for Bradley Chubb. So the Broncos do have a

573
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 1: first round draft choice to give to the Saints if

574
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 1: they want to hire Peyton as their head coach. So

575
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 1: there you go. We are going to take a break here,

576
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:32,239
Speaker 1: but we're going to take your phone calls when we

577
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 1: come back. As we are asking you today, is there

578
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 1: a part of Buffalo's game that still hasn't peaked in

579
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 1: your estimation? Is there some ceiling to reach for some

580
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 1: part of Buffalo's game? Could be offense, could be defense,

581
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 1: could be special teams. You tell us at eight three

582

589
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 1: Curious to know if you have any thoughts on that offense, defense,

595
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 1: is Dick in Newfane. Dick, what do you got for us?

596
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:49,960
Speaker 1: You're on one bills Live. Yeah, good afternoon, guys. Listen.

597
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 1: I'm just wondering about Dorsey's failure to adjust his game

598
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 1: plan in view all that blitzing that was going on.

599
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 1: I mean, and they get to Josh seven times and

600
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 1: we throw to Hines once. It seems to me we

601
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:09,920
Speaker 1: should have used the checkdown pass or a screen to

602
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:14,360
Speaker 1: help that offense out. Just wondering if you guys have

603
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 1: any thoughts on Well. Yeah, I'll say this. You scored

604
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 1: thirty four points and I don't think there's too much

605
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 1: wrong with it one of the things you want to do,

606
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:27,200
Speaker 1: and some of it's probably not on Dorsey because if

607
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 1: you go back and look at the old twenty two film,

608
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:32,919
Speaker 1: like on the fifty two yard passed two digs early

609
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:38,080
Speaker 1: in the game, Josh had a wide open Cole Beasley

610
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:41,920
Speaker 1: on the right by himself with nothing but green grass

611
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:45,280
Speaker 1: around him, and the two dbs were fifteen yards deeper

612
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:47,840
Speaker 1: than him back pedling, so he would have been a

613
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:51,800
Speaker 1: catch and run for sure, but he went the deep route.

614
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 1: Don't ever think that there's no options other than going deep.

615
00:34:56,000 --> 00:35:00,440
Speaker 1: There always is, always and even if they're even if

616
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:03,880
Speaker 1: you send four verts, four vertical routes down the seams,

617
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:07,800
Speaker 1: there's always a back checking down. So it's up to

618
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 1: Josh and every quarterback to choose where he's gonna throw

619
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:13,840
Speaker 1: the football. So just because they kept going deep, I

620
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:16,879
Speaker 1: think it was just a function that Josh says, listen,

621
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 1: it's there, I'm taking it. And it worked for a

622
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 1: couple of times. He threw one. He threw one long

623
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:24,400
Speaker 1: one to Digs. It set up a touchdown, and then

624
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 1: the next one got picked off down there as well.

625
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:30,160
Speaker 1: But when a team goes zero, when I say zero,

626
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 1: there's no free safety, and all these guys are man

627
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 1: to man across there. As soon as this wide receiver

628
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:40,359
Speaker 1: gets one step past the guy, he's wide open. It's

629
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:42,840
Speaker 1: hard to pass that up as a quarterback. Well, especially

630
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 1: when you trust your guys. This thing about everybody going

631
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:50,719
Speaker 1: nuts over so many deep balls, Yeah, you're going deep

632
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:53,960
Speaker 1: do it again if they if they come, if the

633
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:56,399
Speaker 1: Bengals come out doing that again, you can bet they're

634
00:35:56,440 --> 00:36:00,640
Speaker 1: gonna do it again. Yeah, they're gonna do it because

635
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:03,239
Speaker 1: he wants to make them pay. But just because they're

636
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 1: throwing deep, as Steve pointed out, doesn't mean there aren't

637
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:08,719
Speaker 1: checkdowns built into the concept of the pass play. So

638
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 1: I would say if you have an issue with them

639
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 1: not taking checkdowns more, that falls on Josh's decision making.

640
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:19,400
Speaker 1: If that is your criticism, If you want to talk

641
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:25,400
Speaker 1: about other things like design or not adjusting as you

642
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:29,920
Speaker 1: see it, I guess maybe you can have an argument

643
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:34,319
Speaker 1: there with the coaching decisions. But I think a lot

644
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:37,759
Speaker 1: of the time, probably more than ninety five percent of

645
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:41,480
Speaker 1: the time, the shortcomings on the field have more to

646
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:45,640
Speaker 1: do with execution and player decision making than they do

647
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 1: coach decision making. Yeah, and I'll say this when we

648
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:51,799
Speaker 1: were talking about, you know, the screen pad. We've talked

649
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 1: a lot about the screen passes and stuff in the

650
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:57,399
Speaker 1: lack thereof over the course of the last handful of years,

651
00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 1: not only Under but also Brian Dable. They didn't do

652
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:03,360
Speaker 1: it really well either. One of the things I have

653
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 1: always thought, and I don't I don't have any data

654
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:07,000
Speaker 1: to back this up, but this is what I think

655
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:09,920
Speaker 1: as a guy who played, and what my mindset would be,

656
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:12,440
Speaker 1: and what I've seen other guy's mindsets be as they

657
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 1: play defense against players like Josh and Lamar Jackson and Mahomes.

658
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 1: You rush those guys. Your antenna are always up because

659
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:24,239
Speaker 1: you're ready for him to pull it down and run.

660
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:29,920
Speaker 1: Josh more so than a lot of guys, Mahomes a lot,

661
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:34,120
Speaker 1: and certainly Lamar. You're really worried about it. So screen

662
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:38,239
Speaker 1: passes tend to work less because when they're rushing the

663
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:40,080
Speaker 1: passenger or kind of keeping an eye out for him

664
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:43,600
Speaker 1: doing something, they kind of feel the back and the

665
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:45,839
Speaker 1: tight end and all those guys releasing, and they get

666
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:48,319
Speaker 1: a sense, a better sense because their ears aren't back.

667
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:50,359
Speaker 1: There's nothing's happening. He's got to drop back and throw

668
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:53,879
Speaker 1: it deep. We know it here we go, rather than Okay,

669
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 1: he's dropping back, but what's he gonna do? Is he

670
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:57,279
Speaker 1: gonna run this or what? And when you're on the

671
00:37:57,440 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 1: when you got your antenna up like that, you feel

672
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:04,360
Speaker 1: screen pass develop and they snap it off. So the

673
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:07,680
Speaker 1: Bills have never been really good at it because guys

674
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:11,239
Speaker 1: rush Josh differently than they rush other quarterbacks because they're

675
00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:13,800
Speaker 1: afraid he's gonna pull it down and they're ready to

676
00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:16,839
Speaker 1: go sideways to cut him off. So when you're doing

677
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 1: rushing like that, you're more attuned to those nuances that

678
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:24,279
Speaker 1: tip you off to a screen pass that's coming, and

679
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 1: it makes them hard to run. That's my two cents

680
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:32,200
Speaker 1: for the whole thing i've and I don't have any

681
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:36,640
Speaker 1: data about that or anything. It's maybe mobile quarterbacks run

682
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 1: screens better, for all I know, But I think as

683
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:44,279
Speaker 1: a defender, you know, I just you know, quarterbacks like

684
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:47,320
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow and Brady and all these guys that you

685
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 1: know they're never gonna run it. Yeah, they tend to

686
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 1: run those screens a little better than guys like Josh

687
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 1: Lamar and Mahomes and those others. Let's go to Dave

688
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 1: in Niagara Falls next Dave, what do you got for us?

689
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:02,239
Speaker 1: You're on one Bill's life. Hello, Chris and Steve. Thanks

690
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 1: for letting me on. Just wondering. I was watching the game,

691
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 1: you know, when the fourth and eighth that Miami had

692
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 1: it when he threw that little flare pass out to

693
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:13,560
Speaker 1: the side and Milano missed a tackle. But Edmonds was

694
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 1: right there. Didn't he get blocked in the back? Ye did? Yeah,

695
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:20,040
Speaker 1: he did. They missed it. Okay. I thought I was

696
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 1: the only one that's seen it. Now I was saying

697
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 1: it on the broadcast. I was not happy watching the back.

698
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 1: It was Tyreek that got him that. It wasn't a

699
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 1: massive knock. He picked his hands up like he didn't

700
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:34,360
Speaker 1: do anything, Like I didn't touch him. Yeah, yeah, he

701
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:37,360
Speaker 1: he did. It wasn't a devastating knock. But it was

702
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 1: a difference maker. I thought, Um, but yeah, you're right, Yes, Dave,

703
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:44,920
Speaker 1: you're right. Yeah, they missed that one. Wasn't the only

704
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:47,160
Speaker 1: one they missed. There were others and there's yeah, and

705
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:49,279
Speaker 1: Miami's probably got a beef on a couple of calls too.

706
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:51,719
Speaker 1: I mean, that's just it's easy to sit here after

707
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:55,399
Speaker 1: you was it evens out as long as it's relatively even.

708
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:58,560
Speaker 1: None are so egregious that it really costs you something major.

709
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:01,400
Speaker 1: For those of you who've been watching this stuff closely,

710
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:07,239
Speaker 1: Joey Boso of the Chargers just absolutely vilified the officiating

711
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:11,919
Speaker 1: crew that finished their game. He was livid and got

712
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:15,360
Speaker 1: a penalty thrown on him as he walked off the

713
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 1: field by the official and because he threw his helmet

714
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 1: on it. And he also in the post game right

715
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:23,840
Speaker 1: by his locker, spoke to the to the media and

716
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:28,160
Speaker 1: he was, yeah, still hot. He was very upset, and

717
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:32,279
Speaker 1: so I don't I think it's misplaced, but I get it.

718
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:36,200
Speaker 1: Believe me, I've been there. So yeah, that's so you're

719
00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:39,760
Speaker 1: not alone, Dave. Yeah, let's go back to the phones

720
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:42,120
Speaker 1: and to Mike in Amherst. Next, what do you got

721
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:46,560
Speaker 1: for his Mike, Hey, guys, um, I just wanted to

722
00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:49,400
Speaker 1: say to answer one of your questions. You were asking

723
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:52,520
Speaker 1: what part of the Bill's team can peak? Um. I

724
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:54,920
Speaker 1: was at the game on Sunday and it was the

725
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:56,879
Speaker 1: first game I've been to in a couple of years,

726
00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 1: and it really kind of recalibrated the way I love

727
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:03,239
Speaker 1: at the talent of the defense. You know, when you

728
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:06,040
Speaker 1: watched the game on TV, you miss a lot of

729
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:10,160
Speaker 1: what goes on, and I was so impressed with Elam

730
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:14,279
Speaker 1: and Choir and White. I mean, you don't get to

731
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:17,239
Speaker 1: see all those little battles that go on in the game,

732
00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:20,360
Speaker 1: and they shut Hill and Waddle down. I mean, this

733
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:23,839
Speaker 1: is I'm staying the obvious. But Edmunds is just an

734
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:28,680
Speaker 1: absolute savage. I mean, blowing guys up, open field tackles,

735
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:33,400
Speaker 1: reading the plays, Milano, we know what he does. I

736
00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:36,359
Speaker 1: was just so impressed with the defense, and I think

737
00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 1: I want to remind my fellow Bills mafia that we

738
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:43,160
Speaker 1: are exactly where we're supposed to be. This team is

739
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:46,680
Speaker 1: who we thought they were, and I'm optimistic about him.

740
00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:49,560
Speaker 1: I'm not surprised. The Dolphins played us tough. They always do,

741
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:54,400
Speaker 1: and really my biggest takeaway was just how great our

742
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:57,279
Speaker 1: defense has been playing. And I really do think they

743
00:41:57,320 --> 00:41:59,239
Speaker 1: have the ability to peak. I'll hang up and listen

744
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:01,560
Speaker 1: to with you guys. Have thank you. Thanks for the calling, right,

745
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:03,640
Speaker 1: good call there. Yeah. Yeah. It's fun when you're at

746
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:05,120
Speaker 1: the game because you can kind of zero in on

747
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:06,799
Speaker 1: a matchup that you want to watch. You know you're

748
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:10,560
Speaker 1: not You're not beholden to what the TV cameras are

749
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:13,680
Speaker 1: showing you at the site, I thought, and some of

750
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:19,839
Speaker 1: it probably was, you know, Skyler Thompson. True, but I thought,

751
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:23,680
Speaker 1: I thought the defensive backfield played maybe their best game

752
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:29,960
Speaker 1: in a while against Waddle and Hill. Certainly, they gave

753
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:32,080
Speaker 1: up some plays, as you would expect everybody's gonna make

754
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:34,839
Speaker 1: plays against you at some point, but man, old man,

755
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:36,680
Speaker 1: I thought they really did a nice job against those

756
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:40,160
Speaker 1: guys and played their best. I thought kyer Elam was

757
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:42,440
Speaker 1: almost a completely different player than he was at the

758
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:45,520
Speaker 1: beginning of the year. Yeah, and it showed he was

759
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:52,040
Speaker 1: really good. Um Tredevious was good in coverage. You really

760
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:57,040
Speaker 1: saw kye Elam's elite athletic traits on display in that game.

761
00:42:57,680 --> 00:43:00,440
Speaker 1: People ask why is he a first round pick? You

762
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 1: saw it on Sunday running step for step with Tyreek

763
00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:07,000
Speaker 1: Hill on an eighteen yard comeback route. It might be

764
00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:09,840
Speaker 1: about eight corners in the league that can do that.

765
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:17,920
Speaker 1: I mean, he's one of them. Tyreek and Jalen Waddle

766
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:23,720
Speaker 1: had some opportunities and early on they got the Bills

767
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:27,640
Speaker 1: were beneficiaries of drops in that game. And as we're

768
00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:30,560
Speaker 1: as we're the Dolphins, at certain times with Bills drops,

769
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:34,360
Speaker 1: But I, like I said, I thought they're Defensively, the

770
00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:36,920
Speaker 1: Bills played extremely well on the back end with Milano

771
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:39,600
Speaker 1: and Edmonds and the defensive backs. I'd still like to

772
00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:46,640
Speaker 1: see more from the pass rush. Their run defense was

773
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:49,719
Speaker 1: very good though, and I think it's going to be

774
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:52,000
Speaker 1: interesting to see because I think at this point with

775
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:54,759
Speaker 1: the guys that are hurt with a Cincinnati that the

776
00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:57,319
Speaker 1: Cincinnati offensive line is not going to be as good

777
00:43:57,360 --> 00:44:01,960
Speaker 1: as the Dolphins offensive line us because of the injuries

778
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:05,360
Speaker 1: that has beset the Bengals. So we'll see if the

779
00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:07,960
Speaker 1: Bills can make more hay in their pass rush upfront

780
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:09,759
Speaker 1: and help those guys in the back a little bit more.

781
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:15,080
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm with you. I do think Mike from

782
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:17,759
Speaker 1: Amherst was right. The defense was fun to watch a

783
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:20,400
Speaker 1: little bit this last week. And although you know, Miami

784
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:23,759
Speaker 1: got some breaks with some short fields because of the

785
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:28,359
Speaker 1: turnovers and the fumble recovery touchdown, they played really well

786
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:30,759
Speaker 1: against them. Break time for us here, but more of

787
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:33,000
Speaker 1: your phone calls when we return. It's One Bills Live

802
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:31,719

803
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:34,680
Speaker 1: us know what you think. We lead off this segment

804
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:38,920
Speaker 1: with Steve in Michigan. Wait a guy for a Steve. Hey, guys,

805
00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:42,080
Speaker 1: and I don't know two people who had better equipped

806
00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:45,520
Speaker 1: to answer this question, And I know I don't think

807
00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:49,319
Speaker 1: portions of the team of peak Jeff, but I'll start

808
00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:52,840
Speaker 1: it with asking you this question. You've seen McDermott for

809
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 1: six years now. Our press conferences on after the game.

810
00:45:57,280 --> 00:45:59,600
Speaker 1: He did something I've never seen him done before unless

811
00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:03,480
Speaker 1: you have, which is called out a coordinator during the

812
00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:07,400
Speaker 1: conference and the words where yeah, Doris would elect a

813
00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:10,440
Speaker 1: couple of those back. You'll you'll hear them talk about

814
00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:13,800
Speaker 1: players certainly like that because it's execution and they're against

815
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:17,640
Speaker 1: other professionals and they're trying to execute. So Victormott say, yeah,

816
00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:19,200
Speaker 1: Joshua like a couple of those back. But it was

817
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:22,719
Speaker 1: interesting to be centered about Dorseys. So I'm going to

818
00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:27,399
Speaker 1: ask about gamesmanship because I don't think McDermott would ever

819
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:32,440
Speaker 1: call a coordinator, especially in a playoff game pressor we

820
00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:35,279
Speaker 1: know there's gamesmanship, you'll run certain players to set up

821
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:42,200
Speaker 1: other plays, disguising coverages and blitzes. But is there gamesmanship

822
00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:48,320
Speaker 1: on a different level, a deeper level where the Bills

823
00:46:48,360 --> 00:46:53,720
Speaker 1: would even be attempting to show or not show something

824
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:57,919
Speaker 1: to future opponents here even against Miami where they're still

825
00:46:57,960 --> 00:47:01,359
Speaker 1: withholding things. I mean, and I believe that the whole

826
00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:04,719
Speaker 1: key to their passing offense has been the lack off

827
00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:08,200
Speaker 1: season of an effective slot And Crowder wasn't flashy, but

828
00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:10,680
Speaker 1: he was great, and it hurt when we lost him

829
00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:13,840
Speaker 1: and you know, hopefully back because I think the slot

830
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:20,120
Speaker 1: makes makes it so much smoother. But now with secure

831
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:25,480
Speaker 1: and cole playing such as they are, is there gamesmanship

832
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:29,439
Speaker 1: in a game to game situation? That's the fifteen minute

833
00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:31,840
Speaker 1: way of asking my question. All right, thanks Steve, appreciate it.

834
00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:38,560
Speaker 1: Um let's say you, Steve, gamesmanship. Yeah, absolutely, yeah, absolutely,

835
00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:44,000
Speaker 1: every That's why coaches are so reticent to talk to

836
00:47:44,120 --> 00:47:48,080
Speaker 1: the press and give any substantive information during the week,

837
00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:52,920
Speaker 1: and that certainly applies to postgame comments. That applies to

838
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:56,839
Speaker 1: what they do say and what they don't say. So yeah,

839
00:47:56,920 --> 00:48:04,600
Speaker 1: I'm Sean McDermot didn't say any probably anything by accident. Yeah, absolutely,

840
00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:07,640
Speaker 1: they're very they're very conscious of how they come across

841
00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:10,200
Speaker 1: the media and what other team, what information other teams

842
00:48:10,239 --> 00:48:12,640
Speaker 1: can glean from their words. I thought it was a

843
00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:16,000
Speaker 1: little strong in saying calling them out. I don't know

844
00:48:16,040 --> 00:48:18,359
Speaker 1: if I would have I don't think that. I don't

845
00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:21,120
Speaker 1: know if I would have painted it that way. I

846
00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:25,360
Speaker 1: was there. Coach McDermott was asked about the three and

847
00:48:25,480 --> 00:48:28,279
Speaker 1: out series where Josh threw two deep balls down the

848
00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:31,200
Speaker 1: left sideline and then I can't even remember the third

849
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:33,000
Speaker 1: down play, but they didn't get the first down. They

850
00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:36,120
Speaker 1: had to punt, and you know, they still had the

851
00:48:36,200 --> 00:48:38,400
Speaker 1: lead at that time. They didn't run any time off

852
00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:40,520
Speaker 1: the clock, and obviously they didn't move the sticks once

853
00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:43,440
Speaker 1: and the defense was back on the field. And I

854
00:48:43,520 --> 00:48:48,480
Speaker 1: think that was when coach McDermott said Ken might want

855
00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:52,160
Speaker 1: to have a couple of those calls back. So to me,

856
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:56,040
Speaker 1: I think that was just McDermott's way of agreeing with

857
00:48:56,280 --> 00:48:59,359
Speaker 1: the question with the question, or saying, yeah, we probably

858
00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:01,400
Speaker 1: could have done a little bit better there. To me,

859
00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:04,960
Speaker 1: that's not really throwing Yeah, I'm calling anybody out in

860
00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:08,719
Speaker 1: the context of what I'm thinking I heard. I think

861
00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:11,719
Speaker 1: it's more like this, he's saying, I wish Ken. I

862
00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:13,480
Speaker 1: think Ken would like to have a couple of those

863
00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:15,360
Speaker 1: back because he didn't want to give Josh the option

864
00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:18,359
Speaker 1: to go nine thousand yards over the top every time. Yeah,

865
00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:21,760
Speaker 1: he would probably call a different play so Josh wouldn't

866
00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:25,120
Speaker 1: take the low percentage completion opportunity. He'd take the easy

867
00:49:25,160 --> 00:49:28,160
Speaker 1: completion for the first That's more what he's saying. It's

868
00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:30,600
Speaker 1: not about It wasn't about Ken at all, what's about

869
00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:33,759
Speaker 1: Dorsey at all. It's about Josh. You want to take

870
00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:38,600
Speaker 1: those plays back, So to take that gamble off Josh's

871
00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:43,000
Speaker 1: choice list, you know, give him an easy completion rather

872
00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:46,319
Speaker 1: than even the option to throw for a sixty five

873
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:48,840
Speaker 1: yard touchdown pass. So I think that's as much of

874
00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:52,600
Speaker 1: what he's saying in that situation as anything about Ken Dorsey.

875
00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:56,320
Speaker 1: I think when you start calling about plays, it's not

876
00:49:56,440 --> 00:49:58,400
Speaker 1: so much about the play as to how they're going

877
00:49:58,440 --> 00:49:59,960
Speaker 1: to execute it and what you know about the guy

878
00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:02,000
Speaker 1: that are executing it. And when you give Josh that

879
00:50:02,160 --> 00:50:06,200
Speaker 1: deep ball in that situation, yeah, he takes it a

880
00:50:06,280 --> 00:50:08,120
Speaker 1: little too often. You should know that about him. So

881
00:50:08,239 --> 00:50:10,000
Speaker 1: you take that option off his plate. And I think

882
00:50:10,080 --> 00:50:13,160
Speaker 1: that's where you know Sean would say, you know, whish

883
00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:15,640
Speaker 1: dors would have. I'm sure Dorsey would take those back

884
00:50:15,840 --> 00:50:17,840
Speaker 1: or one of those back. We have to take a

885
00:50:17,920 --> 00:50:20,560
Speaker 1: break here. When we come back, our number two will

886
00:50:20,600 --> 00:50:24,600

Speaker 1: with you one Bills Live and please to be joined

893
00:51:19,160 --> 00:51:22,880
Speaker 1: now an hour number two by Pro Football Focus NFL

894
00:51:22,920 --> 00:51:26,080
Speaker 1: and lead draft analyst Michael Renner joining us here on

895
00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:28,920
Speaker 1: the show. And Mike, we've got you in here to

896
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:32,880
Speaker 1: talk some playoff matchups, and why don't we start with

897
00:51:33,360 --> 00:51:38,760
Speaker 1: the one we're dealing with day and night Bill's Bengals. Obviously,

898
00:51:38,840 --> 00:51:43,280
Speaker 1: the previous matchup got scrapped for you know, an unfortunate

899
00:51:43,360 --> 00:51:48,239
Speaker 1: circumstance with DeMar Hamlin's cardiac event. Basically a half a

900
00:51:48,360 --> 00:51:50,759
Speaker 1: quarter got played, so we didn't even really get a

901
00:51:50,880 --> 00:51:54,040
Speaker 1: feel for these two teams up against one another in

902
00:51:54,120 --> 00:51:58,680
Speaker 1: that one. What are you anticipating, especially after both teams

903
00:51:59,200 --> 00:52:02,480
Speaker 1: would probably say they didn't play an airtight game in

904
00:52:02,560 --> 00:52:06,680
Speaker 1: the wild card round. I'm just spending a dog fight.

905
00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:09,640
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a low scoring, back and

906
00:52:09,840 --> 00:52:13,200
Speaker 1: forth kind of field position ish battle, which obviously the

907
00:52:13,280 --> 00:52:16,000
Speaker 1: Bills are not really accustomed to playing this year. But

908
00:52:16,120 --> 00:52:18,719
Speaker 1: this Bengals defense is difficult to go up against. They

909
00:52:18,760 --> 00:52:21,520
Speaker 1: just have no real weaknesses, you know, if you're game

910
00:52:21,600 --> 00:52:25,680
Speaker 1: planning to attack Cincinnati and kind of we saw the

911
00:52:25,719 --> 00:52:29,120
Speaker 1: first time. There's no real one spot where it's like, okay, yeah,

912
00:52:29,160 --> 00:52:31,200
Speaker 1: there we have a mismatch. It's like, no, the Dts

913
00:52:31,200 --> 00:52:33,600
Speaker 1: are good, their edge dressers are solved. Their lineback and

914
00:52:33,680 --> 00:52:35,600
Speaker 1: core is one of the best in the NFL. Safety

915
00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:39,120
Speaker 1: dandoms tremendous, and in their cornerback too great as well.

916
00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:42,360
Speaker 1: So there's there's really nowhere to go against the Bengals defense.

917
00:52:42,600 --> 00:52:45,160
Speaker 1: You almost just have to be methodical, you know, and

918
00:52:45,200 --> 00:52:46,680
Speaker 1: they're gonna make you play a game you don't want

919
00:52:46,719 --> 00:52:49,080
Speaker 1: to play. So I think it's gonna be low scoring.

920
00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:51,640
Speaker 1: But the one matchup, if there is like one mismatch

921
00:52:52,120 --> 00:52:54,480
Speaker 1: in this game that really favors one side of the other,

922
00:52:54,880 --> 00:52:57,319
Speaker 1: is that Bill's defensive line against the Bengals offensive line.

923
00:52:57,480 --> 00:52:59,760
Speaker 1: If Jodah Williams can't go, obviously you had the knee

924
00:52:59,800 --> 00:53:01,920
Speaker 1: just ocation. If he's not going this one, it's backup

925
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:04,680
Speaker 1: Jack Carman. I just don't see how the Bengal is

926
00:53:04,680 --> 00:53:06,759
Speaker 1: gonna move them offensively. I mean, that is one of

927
00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:08,960
Speaker 1: the worst offensive lines in the NFL. If they're throwing

928
00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:11,680
Speaker 1: out three backups again against this Bills defensive line, huge,

929
00:53:11,760 --> 00:53:14,279
Speaker 1: huge mismatch. Yeah, I think You're right both in the

930
00:53:14,320 --> 00:53:16,560
Speaker 1: Bills have taken great pride in the quality of their defense.

931
00:53:16,640 --> 00:53:19,440
Speaker 1: As you look across the rankings, these two teams are

932
00:53:19,719 --> 00:53:23,560
Speaker 1: right together in all the major categories. If one's two,

933
00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:25,359
Speaker 1: the other ones three, and if the other ones two

934
00:53:25,640 --> 00:53:28,040
Speaker 1: the other one's three, it's they're really good. And so

935
00:53:28,120 --> 00:53:30,080
Speaker 1: I think you may have some of what do you

936
00:53:30,120 --> 00:53:32,600
Speaker 1: think about the start to that game, the Monday night game?

937
00:53:32,680 --> 00:53:36,759
Speaker 1: Win both teams? I mean, the defenses weren't even speed

938
00:53:36,840 --> 00:53:40,400
Speaker 1: bumps in that game, and they go down first series touchdown,

939
00:53:40,520 --> 00:53:43,160
Speaker 1: Bills go down, drop a pass, they get a field goal,

940
00:53:43,239 --> 00:53:45,239
Speaker 1: and awful way it goes again and the Cincinnati's moving

941
00:53:45,239 --> 00:53:47,920
Speaker 1: the ball again before the game has stopped. Is this

942
00:53:48,080 --> 00:53:51,160
Speaker 1: gonna be like a six possession game for each team

943
00:53:51,800 --> 00:53:55,600
Speaker 1: or a twenty five possession game for each team? Yeah,

944
00:53:55,640 --> 00:53:57,960
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be closest to the former. There.

945
00:53:58,080 --> 00:54:01,200
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be grinded out long drives. That's

946
00:54:01,239 --> 00:54:02,719
Speaker 1: what it's going to kind of go because I think

947
00:54:03,120 --> 00:54:05,600
Speaker 1: both of these teams what you live in fear of

948
00:54:06,160 --> 00:54:08,640
Speaker 1: is the big play. You know, Stepan Biggs, Gabe Davis,

949
00:54:08,719 --> 00:54:10,960
Speaker 1: those are guys who end a given moment with Josh

950
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:13,399
Speaker 1: Allen's arm can go eighty plus yards of the house

951
00:54:13,520 --> 00:54:15,520
Speaker 1: and then on the other side Jamark Chase t Higgins,

952
00:54:15,760 --> 00:54:18,440
Speaker 1: same story. So I think you're gonna see a lot

953
00:54:18,480 --> 00:54:20,839
Speaker 1: of underneath passing because of that, because you're just gonna

954
00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:24,239
Speaker 1: see these defenses. The secondaries just back off of these

955
00:54:24,320 --> 00:54:26,520
Speaker 1: guys as much as possible, because no one wants to

956
00:54:26,520 --> 00:54:28,960
Speaker 1: be the one guy that makes that game changing play

957
00:54:29,080 --> 00:54:32,759
Speaker 1: that loses you the football game. Switching over to the

958
00:54:33,400 --> 00:54:37,680
Speaker 1: other AFC matchup, Chiefs and Jaguars, I was kind of

959
00:54:37,719 --> 00:54:41,279
Speaker 1: openly wondering about this with Steve Jaguars coming off this

960
00:54:41,640 --> 00:54:46,319
Speaker 1: emotional comeback victory while the Chiefs are sitting at home

961
00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:50,680
Speaker 1: on their couch watching everything during Wildcard weekend, I just

962
00:54:50,920 --> 00:54:53,359
Speaker 1: wonder what the Jags. I know, for the most part,

963
00:54:53,440 --> 00:54:56,120
Speaker 1: they're still a young team, but are they gonna have

964
00:54:56,280 --> 00:54:59,600
Speaker 1: enough left in the tank? You know? The emotional letdown

965
00:55:00,120 --> 00:55:03,880
Speaker 1: scenario is what I'm concerned about with them. No, I

966
00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:07,319
Speaker 1: think you're one hundred percent right there, because every Jacksonville

967
00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:09,080
Speaker 1: fan that that was their super Bowl, right They're like

968
00:55:09,160 --> 00:55:11,640
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence playing well in the second half to come

969
00:55:11,680 --> 00:55:14,680
Speaker 1: back beating justin Herbert, like, just getting a playoff win

970
00:55:15,080 --> 00:55:17,360
Speaker 1: after how down they had. This franchise has been I

971
00:55:17,480 --> 00:55:20,040
Speaker 1: think like twelve to the last fourteen years, they've drafted

972
00:55:20,040 --> 00:55:22,200
Speaker 1: in the top ten of the NFL draft just to

973
00:55:22,280 --> 00:55:24,799
Speaker 1: get that win. That was it Like that, they're icing

974
00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:26,560
Speaker 1: on the cake if they do anything else from here.

975
00:55:26,600 --> 00:55:29,080
Speaker 1: So from that perspective, there's nothing to lose. But at

976
00:55:29,120 --> 00:55:32,719
Speaker 1: the same time, it's like, I find it difficult to

977
00:55:32,760 --> 00:55:35,160
Speaker 1: see them getting up to the same degree against this

978
00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:37,360
Speaker 1: candid she Chiefs team, And you know, to beat the

979
00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:41,000
Speaker 1: Chiefs you gotta play damn near perfect ball. So yeah,

980
00:55:41,120 --> 00:55:43,239
Speaker 1: I tend to be with you there. I think this

981
00:55:43,320 --> 00:55:45,400
Speaker 1: one could get away from the jack bars. Yeah, and

982
00:55:45,480 --> 00:55:47,160
Speaker 1: I would agree with you for the most part. There

983
00:55:47,280 --> 00:55:49,279
Speaker 1: is always that thing that says and a little bit

984
00:55:49,360 --> 00:55:51,040
Speaker 1: the Bills were a victim of it a little bit

985
00:55:51,080 --> 00:55:54,120
Speaker 1: against the Dolphins this past week. What do they got

986
00:55:54,200 --> 00:55:55,799
Speaker 1: to lose. They're going to roll the dice. It's four

987
00:55:55,880 --> 00:55:58,680
Speaker 1: down territory in your own end. You're gonna throw the

988
00:55:58,719 --> 00:56:01,960
Speaker 1: trick plays at them. You're gonna, you know, gamble a

989
00:56:02,040 --> 00:56:04,640
Speaker 1: little bit. And teams that are talented like they are

990
00:56:04,680 --> 00:56:08,239
Speaker 1: in the NFL sometimes those gambles pay off and when

991
00:56:08,320 --> 00:56:10,880
Speaker 1: the pressure comes off, And I agree the pressure is

992
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:14,480
Speaker 1: off the Jaguars. They aren't playing with house money right now,

993
00:56:15,160 --> 00:56:18,160
Speaker 1: So does that in some way make them a little

994
00:56:18,200 --> 00:56:21,000
Speaker 1: more dangerous knowing that they've got an experienced head coach

995
00:56:21,719 --> 00:56:24,640
Speaker 1: who really does have the pulse of his team, and

996
00:56:24,800 --> 00:56:26,880
Speaker 1: maybe if he pushes the right buttons, they can come

997
00:56:26,960 --> 00:56:31,360
Speaker 1: up with quite the performance. Yeah, the coach is obviously

998
00:56:32,080 --> 00:56:35,040
Speaker 1: very familiar with Andy Reid. You know, here's Andy Reid

999
00:56:35,080 --> 00:56:39,080
Speaker 1: disciple they are coming out. So I think that aspect, too,

1000
00:56:39,239 --> 00:56:42,640
Speaker 1: is very important in this game, and that Doug Peterson,

1001
00:56:43,160 --> 00:56:45,080
Speaker 1: if there's anything you know about him, is that come

1002
00:56:45,120 --> 00:56:47,239
Speaker 1: playoff time, he's going to empty the bag out. So

1003
00:56:47,320 --> 00:56:49,640
Speaker 1: I do think they didn't really have that chance this

1004
00:56:49,760 --> 00:56:52,880
Speaker 1: past week against the Chargers because of the fact that

1005
00:56:52,960 --> 00:56:55,400
Speaker 1: they just had to be methodical coming back, you know,

1006
00:56:55,520 --> 00:56:57,759
Speaker 1: moving the football. You can't really run trick plays down

1007
00:56:58,120 --> 00:57:00,879
Speaker 1: four scores, no one's gonna buy it. So I think

1008
00:57:00,920 --> 00:57:02,920
Speaker 1: in this game, you're gonna see, you know, he was

1009
00:57:02,960 --> 00:57:05,920
Speaker 1: the og Philly special. He's going to maybe obviously not

1010
00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:07,879
Speaker 1: the Philly specials played out by now, but he's gonna

1011
00:57:07,880 --> 00:57:10,080
Speaker 1: have something He's gonna come with something that we haven't

1012
00:57:10,120 --> 00:57:14,560
Speaker 1: seen before. I'm guessing in his arsenal too. Hopefully you

1013
00:57:14,600 --> 00:57:16,600
Speaker 1: know whether it's a two point conversion, whether it's a touchdown,

1014
00:57:16,600 --> 00:57:18,520
Speaker 1: whether it's to create a big play. Doug Peterson's gonna

1015
00:57:18,520 --> 00:57:21,520
Speaker 1: come with him. The last team to qualify for the

1016
00:57:21,640 --> 00:57:25,480
Speaker 1: Divisional round the Dallas Cowboys, who won last night. They

1017
00:57:25,560 --> 00:57:27,120
Speaker 1: got a big test here, they got to go out

1018
00:57:27,160 --> 00:57:31,080
Speaker 1: to San Francisco. I'm curious, Mike, what you think about

1019
00:57:31,480 --> 00:57:34,640
Speaker 1: with respect to the quarterback matchup here. Prescott is either

1020
00:57:34,760 --> 00:57:39,680
Speaker 1: hot as a firecracker or he looks woefully inconsistent with

1021
00:57:39,800 --> 00:57:42,360
Speaker 1: his decision making. There doesn't seem to be much of

1022
00:57:42,400 --> 00:57:45,680
Speaker 1: an in between, and going against that San fran defense

1023
00:57:45,800 --> 00:57:48,640
Speaker 1: looks like hell on Earth. But yet at the same time,

1024
00:57:49,240 --> 00:57:51,560
Speaker 1: the Cowboys can bring the heat too. And I don't

1025
00:57:51,600 --> 00:57:54,480
Speaker 1: know if Brock Purdy's seen a pass rush like this,

1026
00:57:54,720 --> 00:57:58,440
Speaker 1: So how do you see that? Shaken out? Yes? To me,

1027
00:57:58,720 --> 00:58:01,360
Speaker 1: this is my favorite tip of the weekend. Now, Bengals

1028
00:58:01,400 --> 00:58:03,720
Speaker 1: Bills is obviously a massive as well, but this one,

1029
00:58:03,800 --> 00:58:06,480
Speaker 1: there's just so many good storylines, so many good matchups

1030
00:58:06,800 --> 00:58:08,880
Speaker 1: throughout that I'm very excited to see it, and I

1031
00:58:08,920 --> 00:58:10,040
Speaker 1: think you hit the nail on the head there with

1032
00:58:10,080 --> 00:58:12,760
Speaker 1: the Dak Prescott thing. It's that this offense seemingly either

1033
00:58:12,840 --> 00:58:15,360
Speaker 1: puts up forty or it looks like they have no

1034
00:58:15,520 --> 00:58:17,680
Speaker 1: clue what they're doing on that side of the football.

1035
00:58:17,720 --> 00:58:19,480
Speaker 1: So it's you know, I'm going over against this forty

1036
00:58:19,560 --> 00:58:21,080
Speaker 1: Niners defense. If you look like you have no clue

1037
00:58:21,080 --> 00:58:22,880
Speaker 1: what you're doing, they will put you in the dirt.

1038
00:58:22,920 --> 00:58:24,800
Speaker 1: That is the best defense left for my money in

1039
00:58:24,840 --> 00:58:26,720
Speaker 1: the playoffs right now. But then the other side, you

1040
00:58:26,760 --> 00:58:29,600
Speaker 1: have a rookie quarterback, a Riki seventh round pick, mister Relevant,

1041
00:58:29,880 --> 00:58:33,280
Speaker 1: defying all odds going up against what, by any measure

1042
00:58:33,400 --> 00:58:35,280
Speaker 1: is the top five defense in the NFL, and as

1043
00:58:35,320 --> 00:58:37,560
Speaker 1: you mentioned, one of them, if not the most ferocious

1044
00:58:37,600 --> 00:58:41,080
Speaker 1: pass rush in the NFL. So where I'm leaning on

1045
00:58:41,200 --> 00:58:44,960
Speaker 1: that one's difficult. But I just don't see the magic

1046
00:58:45,040 --> 00:58:47,280
Speaker 1: of rock Berty, and now it's been magical. I just

1047
00:58:47,320 --> 00:58:49,720
Speaker 1: don't see how he goes four games in the playoffs

1048
00:58:49,720 --> 00:58:51,360
Speaker 1: with and I think at some point it's going to

1049
00:58:51,400 --> 00:58:55,080
Speaker 1: have to run out. And then surprisingly from the beginning

1050
00:58:55,120 --> 00:58:58,040
Speaker 1: of the season, if you transpose what we thought coming

1051
00:58:58,080 --> 00:58:59,960
Speaker 1: on to the regular season, and now we're we're at

1052
00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:03,480
Speaker 1: how do nfs three nfcast teams making into the playoffs?

1053
00:59:03,520 --> 00:59:06,400
Speaker 1: But now the Giants are in Philadelphia. It's the most

1054
00:59:06,440 --> 00:59:10,720
Speaker 1: amazing difference. I think, Well, that's not true. The AFC

1055
00:59:10,880 --> 00:59:12,480
Speaker 1: West we thought was going to be a juggernaut and

1056
00:59:12,480 --> 00:59:15,280
Speaker 1: it turned into to be the Chiefs again and everybody else. So,

1057
00:59:15,640 --> 00:59:19,280
Speaker 1: but the NFC's the Giants at Philly, Philly putting together

1058
00:59:19,320 --> 00:59:24,960
Speaker 1: a magical season, and the Giants maybe even more magical.

1059
00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:29,240
Speaker 1: I'm with you there. The Giants are the biggest storyline

1060
00:59:29,280 --> 00:59:31,080
Speaker 1: in the NFL. This was a team that people thought

1061
00:59:31,200 --> 00:59:33,560
Speaker 1: was in the running for the numb one overall pick. Right.

1062
00:59:33,920 --> 00:59:36,520
Speaker 1: They No one gave this team a chance, even more

1063
00:59:36,560 --> 00:59:39,880
Speaker 1: so than I'd say even like the Seahawks. No one

1064
00:59:39,960 --> 00:59:42,120
Speaker 1: expected Daniel Jones to turn into this. This has been

1065
00:59:42,160 --> 00:59:44,560
Speaker 1: a top ten offense in terms of EPA per play

1066
00:59:44,680 --> 00:59:47,360
Speaker 1: this season. And you know, all credits to Brian Dable,

1067
00:59:47,480 --> 00:59:51,880
Speaker 1: but Daniel Jones, his development at the quarterback position has

1068
00:59:51,920 --> 00:59:54,120
Speaker 1: been a massive part of it. Because this is not

1069
00:59:54,200 --> 00:59:56,680
Speaker 1: a great offensive line, this is not a great receiving corps.

1070
00:59:56,920 --> 00:59:59,360
Speaker 1: They're like they should not by any stretch of the

1071
00:59:59,400 --> 01:00:02,240
Speaker 1: imagination and be putting up points as easily as they

1072
01:00:02,320 --> 01:00:06,480
Speaker 1: have this season, but somehow they still do so, yeah,

1073
01:00:06,520 --> 01:00:09,360
Speaker 1: they're overmatched again, Like if we're just going talent for talent,

1074
01:00:09,720 --> 01:00:13,680
Speaker 1: Eagles outclass them pretty much everywhere. But somehow that really

1075
01:00:13,760 --> 01:00:15,560
Speaker 1: hasn't mattered too much to the Giants in a lot

1076
01:00:15,560 --> 01:00:18,760
Speaker 1: of games this season. So I'm not going to bet

1077
01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:21,760
Speaker 1: against them here, especially Jalen Hurts banged up, with Wayne

1078
01:00:21,800 --> 01:00:23,960
Speaker 1: Johnson banged up for that Eagles offense. Yeah, that's kind

1079
01:00:24,000 --> 01:00:26,280
Speaker 1: of a big part of the equation here, so much

1080
01:00:26,360 --> 01:00:28,760
Speaker 1: so that I don't even know if you can look

1081
01:00:28,840 --> 01:00:32,360
Speaker 1: to their two matchups during the regular season and glean

1082
01:00:32,440 --> 01:00:35,440
Speaker 1: anything from them. I mean, the first one's a I mean,

1083
01:00:35,520 --> 01:00:38,360
Speaker 1: the Giants get run off the field, the Eagles roll

1084
01:00:38,480 --> 01:00:41,240
Speaker 1: up forty eight points, and then the second game is

1085
01:00:41,280 --> 01:00:46,040
Speaker 1: pretty tight game. It's a one score game, don't I

1086
01:00:46,080 --> 01:00:48,120
Speaker 1: don't think that helps us at all and trying to

1087
01:00:48,200 --> 01:00:51,960
Speaker 1: figure out what this one's gonna look like. Yeah, and

1088
01:00:52,280 --> 01:00:55,120
Speaker 1: the way this Giants offense is like schemes, there's really

1089
01:00:55,200 --> 01:00:57,400
Speaker 1: no I don't want to say like book on it.

1090
01:00:57,880 --> 01:00:59,960
Speaker 1: But as you guys know, Briandabele one of the best

1091
01:01:00,760 --> 01:01:03,960
Speaker 1: offensive minds in the NFL. He just it's so much

1092
01:01:04,120 --> 01:01:07,480
Speaker 1: underneath the misdirection that there's no like getting a read

1093
01:01:07,800 --> 01:01:10,080
Speaker 1: on exactly what they're supposed to be doing on any

1094
01:01:10,120 --> 01:01:12,640
Speaker 1: given play, to where I don't think it helps the

1095
01:01:12,680 --> 01:01:15,880
Speaker 1: Eagles any that they've seen this offense before. So yeah,

1096
01:01:16,080 --> 01:01:20,040
Speaker 1: I'm very excited to see that matchup as well. One

1097
01:01:20,080 --> 01:01:21,360
Speaker 1: of the things I wanted to ask you about you

1098
01:01:21,440 --> 01:01:24,200
Speaker 1: you mentioned this earlier and the injuries at this time

1099
01:01:24,240 --> 01:01:26,600
Speaker 1: of year. We had a conversation earning the show about

1100
01:01:26,840 --> 01:01:28,840
Speaker 1: how different it is in this day and age with

1101
01:01:29,000 --> 01:01:33,520
Speaker 1: teams and their ability to play fifty guys throughout the

1102
01:01:33,600 --> 01:01:35,560
Speaker 1: course of the season. We're back way back in the

1103
01:01:35,640 --> 01:01:38,840
Speaker 1: day there was like twenty six guys who played offensive defense.

1104
01:01:38,840 --> 01:01:42,680
Speaker 1: You'd almost had to carve the roster into stone. The

1105
01:01:42,800 --> 01:01:45,000
Speaker 1: citizenate Bengals and their offensive line have been through it.

1106
01:01:45,080 --> 01:01:48,000
Speaker 1: They went through fifteen weeks of the same five guys.

1107
01:01:48,640 --> 01:01:52,520
Speaker 1: Now they got like two of those guys left. That

1108
01:01:52,800 --> 01:01:58,480
Speaker 1: to me, may be the most significant injury information of

1109
01:01:58,600 --> 01:02:04,640
Speaker 1: the week. The Bengals offensive line right now decimate and

1110
01:02:05,840 --> 01:02:07,480
Speaker 1: you can guys have seen it too. How big impact?

1111
01:02:07,800 --> 01:02:10,240
Speaker 1: How big? Excuse me? Injuries are impactful to a roster.

1112
01:02:10,320 --> 01:02:12,920
Speaker 1: It's like this Bill's defense when von Miller was healthy

1113
01:02:13,080 --> 01:02:16,080
Speaker 1: was just no one could say anything to this defensive line,

1114
01:02:16,120 --> 01:02:18,080
Speaker 1: no one, no one had any answers for that, and

1115
01:02:18,120 --> 01:02:19,560
Speaker 1: all of a sudden you take them away, and it's like,

1116
01:02:20,160 --> 01:02:22,360
Speaker 1: you know, some how is Miami putting up thirty one

1117
01:02:22,400 --> 01:02:24,400
Speaker 1: with a backup quarterback because all of a sudden, it's like,

1118
01:02:24,480 --> 01:02:27,280
Speaker 1: that doesn't happen when your roster is at full strength.

1119
01:02:27,640 --> 01:02:31,560
Speaker 1: So with this Bengals offense, like they don't crawl into

1120
01:02:31,640 --> 01:02:34,160
Speaker 1: a shell the way they did against that Ravens defense.

1121
01:02:34,480 --> 01:02:36,320
Speaker 1: If they had offensive lines at full strength, that Joe

1122
01:02:36,360 --> 01:02:39,160
Speaker 1: Burrow had any time to throw. And so that's why

1123
01:02:39,840 --> 01:02:42,560
Speaker 1: I think you have to lean Bills in this matchup,

1124
01:02:42,640 --> 01:02:45,600
Speaker 1: just because that's such a mismatch with three backups on

1125
01:02:45,800 --> 01:02:49,000
Speaker 1: the offensive line. When to be honest, the starters weren't

1126
01:02:49,040 --> 01:02:50,800
Speaker 1: that great in the first place, but I mean their

1127
01:02:50,800 --> 01:02:54,439
Speaker 1: backups are that much worse. So I'm worried. I'm worried

1128
01:02:54,440 --> 01:02:56,440
Speaker 1: for this Bengals offense. I'm worried for Joe Burrow's health.

1129
01:02:57,240 --> 01:02:59,800
Speaker 1: Switching gears. Last one I've got for you, Mike, because

1130
01:02:59,840 --> 01:03:01,720
Speaker 1: I know you have your ear to the ground on

1131
01:03:01,800 --> 01:03:05,080
Speaker 1: the draft class and everything. I'm really having a tough

1132
01:03:05,200 --> 01:03:08,880
Speaker 1: time getting past Bryce Young being one hundred and eighty

1133
01:03:08,920 --> 01:03:13,160
Speaker 1: pounds soaking wet. You know, we see the durability issues

1134
01:03:13,200 --> 01:03:16,920
Speaker 1: with Tua, and he was a top five pick, but

1135
01:03:17,440 --> 01:03:20,280
Speaker 1: the Dolphins kind of paid the ultimate price due to

1136
01:03:20,400 --> 01:03:23,160
Speaker 1: his lack of availability. Now he's got a concussion history,

1137
01:03:23,240 --> 01:03:25,920
Speaker 1: which while he should be fine for next season, that

1138
01:03:26,080 --> 01:03:29,960
Speaker 1: long term can be an issue. Look, I'm not going

1139
01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:31,840
Speaker 1: to debate for a second that Bryce Young is a

1140
01:03:31,920 --> 01:03:36,080
Speaker 1: super talent, but at this level of football, I don't

1141
01:03:36,120 --> 01:03:38,440
Speaker 1: know how he survives a seventeen game season, even with

1142
01:03:38,560 --> 01:03:42,320
Speaker 1: the best offensive line. What is the general consensus that

1143
01:03:42,560 --> 01:03:46,280
Speaker 1: you're kind of hearing from, you know, pro personnel people

1144
01:03:46,360 --> 01:03:52,360
Speaker 1: about this kid as a long range franchise quarterback. Yeah,

1145
01:03:52,400 --> 01:03:56,320
Speaker 1: it is the worry, right It's it's you know, Con one,

1146
01:03:56,480 --> 01:03:59,120
Speaker 1: Con two, Con three, it's it's all the worry right

1147
01:03:59,160 --> 01:04:01,600
Speaker 1: now with Bryce is that size. Because on the field,

1148
01:04:01,680 --> 01:04:03,240
Speaker 1: like there's really not a lot to worry about. But

1149
01:04:03,320 --> 01:04:06,600
Speaker 1: I do think there is something still to play style

1150
01:04:06,920 --> 01:04:09,640
Speaker 1: and how a guy takes hits because he's not going

1151
01:04:09,680 --> 01:04:11,520
Speaker 1: out there. He's mobile, but he's not going out there

1152
01:04:11,600 --> 01:04:14,480
Speaker 1: like Josh Allen and jumping over piles and sticking his

1153
01:04:14,520 --> 01:04:18,200
Speaker 1: shoulder into guys. He's not like Tua in that he

1154
01:04:18,320 --> 01:04:21,240
Speaker 1: doesn't let he doesn't let himself take clean shots. He's

1155
01:04:21,280 --> 01:04:23,760
Speaker 1: fallen away when he is under pressure, like he's not

1156
01:04:24,360 --> 01:04:28,720
Speaker 1: to it. Really is bad at getting himself. Leaving himself

1157
01:04:28,800 --> 01:04:31,400
Speaker 1: exposed to those hits is why he keeps taking. So

1158
01:04:31,960 --> 01:04:33,840
Speaker 1: he's already you know, he's always been that size. He's

1159
01:04:33,880 --> 01:04:37,000
Speaker 1: protected himself well at the collegiate level, rulling this the

1160
01:04:37,200 --> 01:04:39,880
Speaker 1: couple of games this past season. But it is the word,

1161
01:04:40,080 --> 01:04:42,080
Speaker 1: and he's always going to be small. Even if he

1162
01:04:42,120 --> 01:04:44,560
Speaker 1: puts on fifteen pounds, he's still small by a FEL standards.

1163
01:04:44,840 --> 01:04:48,280
Speaker 1: So I do think that's what NFL teams are gonna

1164
01:04:48,320 --> 01:04:49,920
Speaker 1: have to weigh. But I know there's a lot of

1165
01:04:49,920 --> 01:04:52,200
Speaker 1: fans out there, and I know if he were six

1166
01:04:52,280 --> 01:04:54,360
Speaker 1: three two twenty he would be number one overall picking.

1167
01:04:54,400 --> 01:04:56,600
Speaker 1: No one would even be debating it right now, so

1168
01:04:57,560 --> 01:05:00,800
Speaker 1: it will be an interesting conversation. But he's not going

1169
01:05:00,840 --> 01:05:03,720
Speaker 1: past the pick too. I'll just tell you that right now. Mike,

1170
01:05:03,800 --> 01:05:05,880
Speaker 1: thanks very much for the time. We appreciate it. Thanks

1171
01:05:05,920 --> 01:05:08,600
Speaker 1: for Dyson up the next playoff round here, We're we're

1172
01:05:08,600 --> 01:05:10,640
Speaker 1: sure going to be looking forward to this one on Sunday,

1173
01:05:10,720 --> 01:05:14,000
Speaker 1: no doubt for sure, fellas. Thanks for having me, all right, going,

1174
01:05:14,240 --> 01:05:16,920
Speaker 1: that's Mike Renner joining us here from Pro Football Focus,

1175
01:05:16,960 --> 01:05:22,240
Speaker 1: their NFL and lead draft analyst. And I'm really intrigued

1176
01:05:22,440 --> 01:05:26,120
Speaker 1: as to a I would say, besides the Bills Bengals game,

1177
01:05:26,920 --> 01:05:30,640
Speaker 1: the game that interests me most is Niners Cowboys. For

1178
01:05:30,760 --> 01:05:32,360
Speaker 1: those of us that are old enough, those used to

1179
01:05:32,360 --> 01:05:36,440
Speaker 1: be classic battles in the nineties in the playoffs seemingly

1180
01:05:36,560 --> 01:05:40,560
Speaker 1: every year. And then you had guys switching teams. Charles Haley,

1181
01:05:41,200 --> 01:05:44,480
Speaker 1: you know, goes from the Niners to the Cowboys, Sanders

1182
01:05:44,560 --> 01:05:49,040
Speaker 1: switches teams. It just added to the whole thing. And

1183
01:05:49,200 --> 01:05:52,600
Speaker 1: now here it is again. But I'm wondering which Dak

1184
01:05:52,640 --> 01:05:54,760
Speaker 1: Prescott's going to show up to that game against the

1185
01:05:54,800 --> 01:05:59,000
Speaker 1: best defense in football, for my money? And then does

1186
01:05:59,040 --> 01:06:01,440
Speaker 1: the balloon burst on Brock Purdy, Who's going to see

1187
01:06:01,480 --> 01:06:05,840
Speaker 1: pass pressure like he's never seen before. Yeah, I'm with you,

1188
01:06:06,120 --> 01:06:10,440
Speaker 1: I mean that game could be Dallas has a fantastic

1189
01:06:10,520 --> 01:06:14,600
Speaker 1: pass rush with Michael Parsons and Marcus Lawrence, those guys

1190
01:06:14,680 --> 01:06:19,200
Speaker 1: can go uh San Francisco. Same thing with Bosa and

1191
01:06:19,600 --> 01:06:28,760
Speaker 1: that crew does. Does Dak turn it over? Does he

1192
01:06:28,880 --> 01:06:30,680
Speaker 1: back back there and throw it to the wrong guy where?

1193
01:06:30,800 --> 01:06:33,400
Speaker 1: Or does Brock Purdy go back there and make continue

1194
01:06:33,440 --> 01:06:38,080
Speaker 1: to make magic? I don't know. I think the I

1195
01:06:38,200 --> 01:06:41,240
Speaker 1: think the downside of both those quarterbacks is almost identical.

1196
01:06:42,360 --> 01:06:45,680
Speaker 1: But the upside is identical too, And you don't know

1197
01:06:45,680 --> 01:06:47,920
Speaker 1: which one you're gonna get. I mean, you don't have

1198
01:06:48,040 --> 01:06:51,720
Speaker 1: any I mean Dak has played horrible for a month

1199
01:06:51,840 --> 01:06:57,600
Speaker 1: up till last night. I don't know. I think it's

1200
01:06:57,680 --> 01:07:01,760
Speaker 1: really interesting. It's it's really interesting. I don't know, but

1201
01:07:01,840 --> 01:07:05,360
Speaker 1: I feel like it's got low scoring written all over it.

1202
01:07:05,440 --> 01:07:09,000
Speaker 1: I found it interesting that Mike thought the Bills Bengals

1203
01:07:09,040 --> 01:07:10,680
Speaker 1: was gonna be low scoring. I don't know if I'm

1204
01:07:10,680 --> 01:07:12,360
Speaker 1: agreeing with that. Yeah, A lot of people here and

1205
01:07:12,440 --> 01:07:14,720
Speaker 1: I agree with the other way. Yeah. I think you're

1206
01:07:14,760 --> 01:07:17,240
Speaker 1: gonna have to score thirty points to win, and it's

1207
01:07:17,320 --> 01:07:19,520
Speaker 1: the first one to forty is gonna win it. You

1208
01:07:19,600 --> 01:07:24,520
Speaker 1: know kind of thing, right, right, I do? These two

1209
01:07:24,600 --> 01:07:27,800
Speaker 1: teams are hard to keep off the scoreboard. Bengals are

1210
01:07:28,040 --> 01:07:31,600
Speaker 1: certainly that um I told you. The Bills have scored

1211
01:07:32,120 --> 01:07:36,160
Speaker 1: thirty points in their last four games. The Bengals haven't

1212
01:07:36,200 --> 01:07:39,920
Speaker 1: been quite that much. They scored thirty only once over

1213
01:07:40,000 --> 01:07:44,360
Speaker 1: the last well last not then they scored Uh yeah,

1214
01:07:44,360 --> 01:07:48,320
Speaker 1: they wnt scored twenty four Sunday, so um against a

1215
01:07:48,360 --> 01:07:51,680
Speaker 1: good Ravens defense. Yeah, you know, I don't know. The

1216
01:07:51,720 --> 01:07:54,720
Speaker 1: Bills are scoring a lot of points, more so than

1217
01:07:54,760 --> 01:07:58,640
Speaker 1: the Bengals are, and that surprises me. Yeah, that surprises

1218
01:07:58,680 --> 01:08:02,040
Speaker 1: me because the Bengals are so explosive. Maybe it does

1219
01:08:02,120 --> 01:08:05,000
Speaker 1: have to do with their offensive line. We'll see. Let's

1220
01:08:05,040 --> 01:08:07,080
Speaker 1: get back to the phones at eight o three fifty

1221
01:08:07,360 --> 01:08:09,680
Speaker 1: eight five fifty two, five fifty is there a part

1222
01:08:09,720 --> 01:08:12,960
Speaker 1: of Buffalo's game that still hasn't peaked? We go to

1223
01:08:13,160 --> 01:08:15,600
Speaker 1: Bob in Lancaster, who's been waiting patiently. What do you

1224
01:08:15,640 --> 01:08:20,479
Speaker 1: got first, Bob, Hey, two things. First, I wanted to

1225
01:08:20,520 --> 01:08:24,919
Speaker 1: talk about that kicker in Dallas. I have an interesting

1226
01:08:25,320 --> 01:08:29,560
Speaker 1: observation on that. But Chris, you would have seen this,

1227
01:08:29,880 --> 01:08:32,160
Speaker 1: I would say, at the game Sunday, and it's like

1228
01:08:32,320 --> 01:08:35,000
Speaker 1: the last defensive play of the game. It looked to

1229
01:08:35,080 --> 01:08:38,560
Speaker 1: me like Ed Oliver came off the field kind of

1230
01:08:38,680 --> 01:08:41,479
Speaker 1: limping and I haven't heard anything that he was heard

1231
01:08:41,640 --> 01:08:43,800
Speaker 1: or on the injury list or anything. Do you know

1232
01:08:43,880 --> 01:08:46,320
Speaker 1: anything about Yeah, we haven't heard anything either. I guess

1233
01:08:46,720 --> 01:08:49,120
Speaker 1: the earliest we'll find out is tomorrow when the injury

1234
01:08:49,160 --> 01:08:52,880
Speaker 1: report comes out. You know, sometimes these guys just taken

1235
01:08:53,120 --> 01:08:55,200
Speaker 1: knock on the knee, you know, like knee on knee

1236
01:08:55,280 --> 01:08:57,000
Speaker 1: or something at the bottom of a pile, and it

1237
01:08:57,080 --> 01:09:00,880
Speaker 1: hurts for ten seconds and then it subsides. But I'm

1238
01:09:00,920 --> 01:09:03,720
Speaker 1: just speculating. I don't know anything. Well, I guess we'll

1239
01:09:03,760 --> 01:09:07,479
Speaker 1: find out tomorrow when the injury reports released. Okay, done

1240
01:09:07,520 --> 01:09:11,760
Speaker 1: the other thing, I'm the dallist kicker him missing those

1241
01:09:11,880 --> 01:09:15,280
Speaker 1: extra points. The NFL put out a memo I heard

1242
01:09:15,320 --> 01:09:19,479
Speaker 1: this weekend about looking at place kickers that are putting

1243
01:09:19,640 --> 01:09:22,960
Speaker 1: something underneath the ball to kick, And I'm just wondering,

1244
01:09:23,000 --> 01:09:26,040
Speaker 1: do you think that had anything to do with it. Yeah,

1245
01:09:26,200 --> 01:09:29,640
Speaker 1: I'll admit I had seen that memo, but it was

1246
01:09:29,720 --> 01:09:32,160
Speaker 1: not at the forefront of my mind when I was

1247
01:09:32,240 --> 01:09:35,080
Speaker 1: watching Renter miss the extra points, or a Renter I'm

1248
01:09:35,120 --> 01:09:39,840
Speaker 1: watching Mara miss the extra points. Yeah, I mean, I

1249
01:09:39,960 --> 01:09:43,280
Speaker 1: suppose that could have been a factor if in fact

1250
01:09:43,360 --> 01:09:47,639
Speaker 1: he was using you know, a foreign object previously. Basically,

1251
01:09:47,720 --> 01:09:51,240
Speaker 1: what the NFL memo was saying is kickers and holders

1252
01:09:51,320 --> 01:09:55,160
Speaker 1: cannot use any kind of foreign object to help spot

1253
01:09:55,200 --> 01:09:57,840
Speaker 1: a football on a kick because I guess there has

1254
01:09:57,920 --> 01:10:01,439
Speaker 1: been film evidence of some players going out there and

1255
01:10:01,520 --> 01:10:04,080
Speaker 1: putting what looks like a coin, you know, or a

1256
01:10:04,200 --> 01:10:06,920
Speaker 1: disk down to mark the spot where the ball is

1257
01:10:06,960 --> 01:10:10,000
Speaker 1: going to get set down, and maybe on grass, it

1258
01:10:10,120 --> 01:10:12,120
Speaker 1: sits it up a little bit higher for the kicker.

1259
01:10:13,120 --> 01:10:15,120
Speaker 1: It's for the holder and for the holder to mark

1260
01:10:15,200 --> 01:10:17,760
Speaker 1: the spot, and it's also for the kicker as well,

1261
01:10:17,760 --> 01:10:19,640
Speaker 1: because he goes and if he knows that he can

1262
01:10:19,720 --> 01:10:22,080
Speaker 1: see the spot, if the ball is forward of the

1263
01:10:22,120 --> 01:10:24,800
Speaker 1: spot or behind the spot, or towards him from the spot,

1264
01:10:24,960 --> 01:10:29,040
Speaker 1: he adjusts accordingly because he'd taken his foot off the spot.

1265
01:10:29,160 --> 01:10:32,080
Speaker 1: So I, as a holder, you weren't even allowed to

1266
01:10:33,200 --> 01:10:36,400
Speaker 1: because I tried. You weren't even allowed to spit to

1267
01:10:36,560 --> 01:10:40,040
Speaker 1: mark the spot for the ball. The official come up

1268
01:10:40,080 --> 01:10:43,680
Speaker 1: and wipe it off. So interesting. Yeah, it's a thing.

1269
01:10:44,080 --> 01:10:45,640
Speaker 1: But you can hold your finger down there on the

1270
01:10:45,680 --> 01:10:48,240
Speaker 1: spot after the kicker points it out right, because I've

1271
01:10:48,280 --> 01:10:49,880
Speaker 1: seen that last what you got it? Yeah? You holder

1272
01:10:49,960 --> 01:10:52,200
Speaker 1: put his finger there, Yeah, you always do that. Yeah,

1273
01:10:52,360 --> 01:10:54,439
Speaker 1: but that but when you bring your hands up to

1274
01:10:54,479 --> 01:10:56,160
Speaker 1: catch the ball, you look back down, that spot's not

1275
01:10:56,240 --> 01:10:58,280
Speaker 1: there anymore, and you don't want to What you don't

1276
01:10:58,320 --> 01:11:00,880
Speaker 1: want to do is rub a spot out out, you know,

1277
01:11:01,000 --> 01:11:03,200
Speaker 1: you don't want to rub a bare spot or anything

1278
01:11:03,200 --> 01:11:05,559
Speaker 1: in the turn because then that changes the surface where

1279
01:11:05,560 --> 01:11:08,160
Speaker 1: it's lower or high lower, right, right, So you don't

1280
01:11:08,160 --> 01:11:12,160
Speaker 1: want to do that either for the kicker. Um. So yeah,

1281
01:11:12,400 --> 01:11:18,000
Speaker 1: it's it's an ongoing gamesmanship thing. Can you say you

1282
01:11:18,120 --> 01:11:20,080
Speaker 1: do what you can do? Does it really make that

1283
01:11:20,240 --> 01:11:22,680
Speaker 1: much of a difference. I don't know if you think

1284
01:11:22,720 --> 01:11:26,360
Speaker 1: it does. It does, Okay, I told you all if

1285
01:11:26,439 --> 01:11:29,600
Speaker 1: that's the case, If it If that's the case and

1286
01:11:29,720 --> 01:11:32,320
Speaker 1: Brent Marr was doing it, Bob could be right. Uh,

1287
01:11:32,560 --> 01:11:35,960
Speaker 1: back to the phones and to Tony in New York City.

1288
01:11:36,000 --> 01:11:39,760
Speaker 1: What do you got for his? Tony? Hey, how's it going, guys? Good?

1289
01:11:40,439 --> 01:11:45,880
Speaker 1: I am. I am concerned about the build going into someday. Yes,

1290
01:11:46,000 --> 01:11:49,559
Speaker 1: I understand the Bengals are going to be without three

1291
01:11:49,640 --> 01:11:54,800
Speaker 1: offensive linemen potentially. You can't right right, It's got to

1292
01:11:55,040 --> 01:12:00,320
Speaker 1: look you can't compare the Skyler Thompson Blair Dolphins to

1293
01:12:00,439 --> 01:12:05,320
Speaker 1: the Bengal offense, and you saw Elam got hurt, Dan

1294
01:12:05,520 --> 01:12:12,799
Speaker 1: Jackson got hurt. The Bills have some secondary health issues

1295
01:12:12,880 --> 01:12:17,400
Speaker 1: also in addition to no von Miller. So if, hey,

1296
01:12:17,680 --> 01:12:21,559
Speaker 1: if if Joe Burrow somehow does have a little time

1297
01:12:21,640 --> 01:12:25,280
Speaker 1: to throw back there, it might be a problem. Yeah,

1298
01:12:25,360 --> 01:12:27,960
Speaker 1: I understand what your concerns are, Tony, and thanks for

1299
01:12:28,040 --> 01:12:30,920
Speaker 1: the call. I will say this. After the game, coach

1300
01:12:31,000 --> 01:12:33,640
Speaker 1: McDermott was asked if Dan Jackson had to return to

1301
01:12:33,720 --> 01:12:36,840
Speaker 1: the game, could he have, and he said yes, So

1302
01:12:37,000 --> 01:12:40,519
Speaker 1: hopefully his injury is not a serious one, and I

1303
01:12:40,560 --> 01:12:42,200
Speaker 1: would tend to think it's not. If he was able

1304
01:12:42,240 --> 01:12:44,360
Speaker 1: to come back into the game and kye Elam was

1305
01:12:44,360 --> 01:12:46,280
Speaker 1: playing so well, I guess they just elected to rest

1306
01:12:46,360 --> 01:12:48,840
Speaker 1: day in the rest of the game. And kyr Elam

1307
01:12:48,920 --> 01:12:51,160
Speaker 1: just had a cramp in his leg at the end

1308
01:12:51,200 --> 01:12:54,479
Speaker 1: of the game. So as far as we know, he's

1309
01:12:54,520 --> 01:12:56,879
Speaker 1: good to go for this week. So hopefully that quells

1310
01:12:57,360 --> 01:13:01,920
Speaker 1: your concerned somewhat about this eight of Buffalo's secondary going

1311
01:13:01,960 --> 01:13:04,599
Speaker 1: into this game, because you are gonna want all systems

1312
01:13:04,680 --> 01:13:07,719
Speaker 1: go with that crew coming in this week. The Bengals

1313
01:13:07,760 --> 01:13:12,080
Speaker 1: receiving corps um Bengals. Here's the thing that gets me

1314
01:13:12,200 --> 01:13:16,360
Speaker 1: to um. The Bengals ranking. If you go to the rankings,

1315
01:13:16,520 --> 01:13:19,360
Speaker 1: the Bengals are ranked twenty. I don't know what they're ranked,

1316
01:13:19,360 --> 01:13:22,439
Speaker 1: but they had twenty four points a game the Bills. Um,

1317
01:13:24,120 --> 01:13:26,400
Speaker 1: hold on, here we go. Now I'll get it. The

1318
01:13:26,560 --> 01:13:33,280
Speaker 1: Bengals are ranked they have twenty six point one points

1319
01:13:33,320 --> 01:13:36,800
Speaker 1: per game. Buffalo is twenty eight point four points per game.

1320
01:13:36,840 --> 01:13:40,760
Speaker 1: The Bills score more points than the Bengals do. Ye

1321
01:13:41,920 --> 01:13:43,759
Speaker 1: scoring is the Bills six in the league in scoring

1322
01:13:43,840 --> 01:13:49,519
Speaker 1: seven and so yeah, the Bengals, And to use their

1323
01:13:49,560 --> 01:13:54,360
Speaker 1: own phrase, the Bengals gotta play us two UM. Our

1324
01:13:54,439 --> 01:14:00,280
Speaker 1: defense is a quality defense. Um. Their offense is very good,

1325
01:14:00,360 --> 01:14:02,960
Speaker 1: very potent. But so are the Bills, very much so.

1326
01:14:03,439 --> 01:14:07,040
Speaker 1: And this should be This is the kind of game

1327
01:14:07,080 --> 01:14:09,880
Speaker 1: you run into at the divisional round of the National

1328
01:14:09,960 --> 01:14:12,400
Speaker 1: Football League. It's just the way it is. Last year

1329
01:14:12,439 --> 01:14:14,000
Speaker 1: it was the Kansas City Chiefs. This year it's the

1330
01:14:14,120 --> 01:14:18,320
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals. Last year it was the defending AFC champs.

1331
01:14:18,400 --> 01:14:22,720
Speaker 1: This year it's the defending AFC Champs. So there you go.

1332
01:14:23,000 --> 01:14:24,840
Speaker 1: I mean you got to you gotta step up to

1333
01:14:24,920 --> 01:14:27,679
Speaker 1: the plate and take your swing. It's not gonna be easy.

1334
01:14:27,960 --> 01:14:29,960
Speaker 1: You're not gonna You're not gonna like the matchup in

1335
01:14:30,000 --> 01:14:31,479
Speaker 1: a lot of ways for any of these teams. This

1336
01:14:31,720 --> 01:14:34,920
Speaker 1: is bet This is a harder matchup for the Bengals

1337
01:14:35,120 --> 01:14:38,760
Speaker 1: than the one they just escaped Baltimore with. You know,

1338
01:14:38,880 --> 01:14:42,320
Speaker 1: so both these teams have a lot to be concerned about,

1339
01:14:42,360 --> 01:14:44,120
Speaker 1: but they also have a lot of reason to be confident.

1340
01:14:45,360 --> 01:14:47,320
Speaker 1: Break time for us here, we'll take more of your

1341
01:14:47,360 --> 01:14:49,640
Speaker 1: phone calls. On the other side, It's One Bills Live,

1342
01:14:49,720 --> 01:14:52,120
Speaker 1: presented by Kalid to Health. This is Buffalo Bills Radio.

1343
01:15:07,080 --> 01:15:09,000
Speaker 1: All right, welcome back to One Bill's Live. Chris Brown,

1344
01:15:09,040 --> 01:15:12,080
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker and asking you today, is there a part

1345
01:15:12,120 --> 01:15:16,920
Speaker 1: of Buffalo's game that still hasn't peaked? Can let us know? Offense, defense,

1346
01:15:17,000 --> 01:15:21,240
Speaker 1: special teams, anything that you think can still be maximized

1347
01:15:21,880 --> 01:15:24,040
Speaker 1: here in the playoffs? You let us know. At eighth

1348
01:15:24,160 --> 01:15:27,160
Speaker 1: three fifty, we go back to the phones and we

1349
01:15:27,240 --> 01:15:30,000
Speaker 1: go down to South Carolina where Anthony is waiting for us.

1350
01:15:30,040 --> 01:15:32,920
Speaker 1: What do you got for us? Anthony? Hey, guys, thanks

1351
01:15:32,960 --> 01:15:35,479
Speaker 1: for taking my call to the Sure I got a

1352
01:15:35,520 --> 01:15:37,920
Speaker 1: couple of things. Really, One you guys had a caller

1353
01:15:38,040 --> 01:15:41,719
Speaker 1: yesterday complaining about the turnover from Josh Allen. I'm okay

1354
01:15:41,760 --> 01:15:44,680
Speaker 1: with the interceptions like go for it, go for the

1355
01:15:44,760 --> 01:15:48,000
Speaker 1: reward if you know it happens. But one thing I

1356
01:15:48,040 --> 01:15:51,479
Speaker 1: can't understand is how he has a hard time holding

1357
01:15:51,520 --> 01:15:55,120
Speaker 1: onto the football when he runs. I've been watching him

1358
01:15:55,120 --> 01:15:59,040
Speaker 1: ever since he got drafted, and the lack of ability

1359
01:15:59,160 --> 01:16:01,759
Speaker 1: to hold onto the ball when he's just running by himself,

1360
01:16:02,000 --> 01:16:04,160
Speaker 1: if he just gets tapped, it seems like he's just

1361
01:16:04,240 --> 01:16:07,120
Speaker 1: got such a weak grip. I'm more worried about him

1362
01:16:07,200 --> 01:16:09,960
Speaker 1: running and losing the football than I am when he

1363
01:16:10,120 --> 01:16:12,560
Speaker 1: runs and getting injured. He's a big boy, you know,

1364
01:16:12,640 --> 01:16:14,599
Speaker 1: he can take care of himself. He's bound to get

1365
01:16:14,640 --> 01:16:17,360
Speaker 1: injured in you know, in the pocket. It doesn't really matter.

1366
01:16:17,479 --> 01:16:20,000
Speaker 1: I love the running ability of him, but a lack

1367
01:16:20,080 --> 01:16:23,800
Speaker 1: of ball security is astonishing. And I just want to

1368
01:16:23,840 --> 01:16:26,960
Speaker 1: let Steve know that I'm trying to see my long

1369
01:16:27,000 --> 01:16:28,920
Speaker 1: plot chare and the green, will sunny stay of South

1370
01:16:28,960 --> 01:16:31,880
Speaker 1: Carolina in him. But thank you taking my call. I'll

1371
01:16:31,920 --> 01:16:33,640
Speaker 1: hang up on this, Okay, what do what do you

1372
01:16:33,680 --> 01:16:35,360
Speaker 1: want to let me know? What was it? I wasn't sure,

1373
01:16:35,439 --> 01:16:37,040
Speaker 1: but I can't remember that last part he said he

1374
01:16:37,040 --> 01:16:38,240
Speaker 1: can catch the last part of what he said, What

1375
01:16:38,280 --> 01:16:40,920
Speaker 1: do you say? What would you say? And Anthony about Steve, Oh,

1376
01:16:41,080 --> 01:16:43,599
Speaker 1: I'm practicing my long pots down here in South Carolina

1377
01:16:43,680 --> 01:16:46,760
Speaker 1: long pots. Okay, there you go, Thanks Anthony. Very nice.

1378
01:16:47,360 --> 01:16:51,519
Speaker 1: Josh running ball security go. I'm with him. Ball security

1379
01:16:51,680 --> 01:16:56,439
Speaker 1: is paramount, and I'm with you too. The interceptions, Hey,

1380
01:16:56,680 --> 01:17:00,840
Speaker 1: just keep throwing it, man, Just just keep throwing. You're fine.

1381
01:17:01,760 --> 01:17:04,240
Speaker 1: Pick your spots. Takes some easy completions once in a while,

1382
01:17:04,320 --> 01:17:08,280
Speaker 1: stay on the field, all of that. But I'm willing

1383
01:17:08,320 --> 01:17:11,320
Speaker 1: to live with what with the interception stuff that Josh

1384
01:17:11,360 --> 01:17:14,439
Speaker 1: puts out there because of the reward that it brings. Um,

1385
01:17:14,680 --> 01:17:17,479
Speaker 1: you know, you can go back and pick you know,

1386
01:17:17,600 --> 01:17:20,639
Speaker 1: the first touchdown in the Patriots playoff game last season

1387
01:17:20,760 --> 01:17:23,280
Speaker 1: here in Buffalo, where he thinks he's thrown it away,

1388
01:17:24,360 --> 01:17:27,360
Speaker 1: Dawson knocked, climbs the ladder and catches it touchdown. The

1389
01:17:27,520 --> 01:17:30,160
Speaker 1: Steph Digs touchdown against the Jets where he rockets it

1390
01:17:30,240 --> 01:17:32,880
Speaker 1: as he's getting hit out of bounds. The touchdown against

1391
01:17:32,920 --> 01:17:35,800
Speaker 1: the Dolphins with no time or the Patriots with no

1392
01:17:36,000 --> 01:17:39,160
Speaker 1: time left on the clock at halftime. You think it's catastrophic.

1393
01:17:39,240 --> 01:17:43,240
Speaker 1: No it's not. It's a touchdown. Those are the benefits

1394
01:17:43,320 --> 01:17:47,240
Speaker 1: you get when you let him play. And certainly the

1395
01:17:47,680 --> 01:17:51,840
Speaker 1: tipped interception from Cole Beasley, Okay, the tipped interception that

1396
01:17:52,000 --> 01:17:54,640
Speaker 1: could have just as easily bounced out of bounds or

1397
01:17:54,680 --> 01:17:57,000
Speaker 1: on the to the ground as it did to a

1398
01:17:58,160 --> 01:18:01,439
Speaker 1: running defender, and the long throw down to the other end.

1399
01:18:01,560 --> 01:18:04,639
Speaker 1: If John Brown sees that ball a half a second earlier,

1400
01:18:04,760 --> 01:18:08,880
Speaker 1: that interception never happens, or if it does, the guy's

1401
01:18:08,920 --> 01:18:10,960
Speaker 1: tackled on the two yard line and let's go, let's

1402
01:18:11,040 --> 01:18:13,960
Speaker 1: let those guys travel ninety eight yards. So all of those,

1403
01:18:14,080 --> 01:18:16,640
Speaker 1: I'm fine. I'm I am totally with you on that.

1404
01:18:16,760 --> 01:18:21,600
Speaker 1: And I'm with you, Anthony. I don't worry about his interceptions,

1405
01:18:21,640 --> 01:18:27,360
Speaker 1: his fumbling, Yeah, I'm with you there too. I wish

1406
01:18:27,400 --> 01:18:29,040
Speaker 1: he didn't do that as much. If he's gonna run,

1407
01:18:29,120 --> 01:18:30,960
Speaker 1: he's got to tuck it away, and he does hold

1408
01:18:31,000 --> 01:18:32,880
Speaker 1: it away from his body a little too much sometimes,

1409
01:18:32,920 --> 01:18:34,720
Speaker 1: particularly when he decides he's really going to run it.

1410
01:18:35,120 --> 01:18:37,960
Speaker 1: Sometimes he forgets to tuck it away. Times where he's

1411
01:18:38,000 --> 01:18:39,720
Speaker 1: trying to push a guy down and he swims his

1412
01:18:39,960 --> 01:18:42,000
Speaker 1: arm over a guy with the ball in his hand.

1413
01:18:42,080 --> 01:18:44,800
Speaker 1: I have never seen anyone else do that. That's a

1414
01:18:44,840 --> 01:18:47,120
Speaker 1: little out there for me. Yeah, that's a little out there.

1415
01:18:47,160 --> 01:18:49,320
Speaker 1: I will admit that. Yes, So, Anthony, I think you're

1416
01:18:49,360 --> 01:18:50,920
Speaker 1: right on money with you. That's a good call and

1417
01:18:51,600 --> 01:18:55,240
Speaker 1: I would agree with you. Let's go to Don and Rochester.

1418
01:18:55,240 --> 01:18:58,479
Speaker 1: You're next. What you got for us? Don? Hey guys,

1419
01:18:58,600 --> 01:19:02,760
Speaker 1: great show. Thanks well. I think a lot of us

1420
01:19:02,920 --> 01:19:05,320
Speaker 1: are wondering if the Bills are ever going to run

1421
01:19:05,400 --> 01:19:09,080
Speaker 1: any kind of trick plays it off all right, I

1422
01:19:09,200 --> 01:19:11,360
Speaker 1: hear what you're saying there. I know Brian Dable was

1423
01:19:11,439 --> 01:19:14,240
Speaker 1: good for you know, three or four maybe a handful

1424
01:19:14,280 --> 01:19:16,679
Speaker 1: over the course of a season. So I get where

1425
01:19:16,680 --> 01:19:21,519
Speaker 1: you're coming from there. First year coordinator in that role

1426
01:19:21,600 --> 01:19:25,000
Speaker 1: for the first time. Maybe you're just trying to stick

1427
01:19:25,080 --> 01:19:28,479
Speaker 1: to the script, so to speak. Or maybe you're holding

1428
01:19:28,520 --> 01:19:32,000
Speaker 1: some stuff in your back pocket until you really really

1429
01:19:32,080 --> 01:19:37,160
Speaker 1: need something special. And hey, let's look at it this way.

1430
01:19:38,560 --> 01:19:41,040
Speaker 1: If the Bills are fortunate enough to win this game

1431
01:19:42,240 --> 01:19:44,479
Speaker 1: and you're back to facing a Chiefs team next week,

1432
01:19:45,600 --> 01:19:47,280
Speaker 1: that might be the time to pull the rabbit out

1433
01:19:47,320 --> 01:19:50,680
Speaker 1: of the hat on a critical juncture in the game

1434
01:19:50,760 --> 01:19:53,639
Speaker 1: when you really need something and maybe some other things

1435
01:19:53,720 --> 01:19:56,600
Speaker 1: that you're used to working offensively or not, and you

1436
01:19:56,720 --> 01:19:59,000
Speaker 1: just need a play like that to spark you and say, hey,

1437
01:19:59,560 --> 01:20:02,439
Speaker 1: we're going one for this thing. Even though not everything's

1438
01:20:02,479 --> 01:20:05,000
Speaker 1: working right now. This was working in practice this week,

1439
01:20:05,040 --> 01:20:07,680
Speaker 1: we're calling it. Let's go. Yeah, I don't, and I

1440
01:20:07,800 --> 01:20:10,960
Speaker 1: think you're onto something there. With a first year offensive

1441
01:20:11,040 --> 01:20:15,519
Speaker 1: coordinator with where Bill's a guy who's Bills. Fans will

1442
01:20:15,520 --> 01:20:17,280
Speaker 1: tell you he is the best guy in at the

1443
01:20:17,360 --> 01:20:19,600
Speaker 1: position in the league. They got the best quarterback in

1444
01:20:19,640 --> 01:20:24,760
Speaker 1: the league. With a first year coordinator, maybe he's of

1445
01:20:24,840 --> 01:20:26,560
Speaker 1: the mind that, listen, we don't need that stuff. We

1446
01:20:26,680 --> 01:20:29,920
Speaker 1: got the guy we can make a play. And there

1447
01:20:30,000 --> 01:20:31,559
Speaker 1: is some of that because when you do run those

1448
01:20:31,600 --> 01:20:34,760
Speaker 1: trick plays, their awareness plays where if the defense is

1449
01:20:34,840 --> 01:20:37,840
Speaker 1: off there, it gets confused or whatever and they lose

1450
01:20:37,920 --> 01:20:39,560
Speaker 1: track of what's going on. Then you hit him. But

1451
01:20:39,600 --> 01:20:42,200
Speaker 1: if they keep track of what's going on, it doesn't

1452
01:20:42,240 --> 01:20:47,840
Speaker 1: go very well. There's some risk there. So I think

1453
01:20:48,320 --> 01:20:50,639
Speaker 1: as a first year offensive coordinator is probably the best

1454
01:20:50,760 --> 01:20:53,000
Speaker 1: reason why he's playing a little closer to the best.

1455
01:20:53,040 --> 01:20:56,280
Speaker 1: Saint Listen, I'm I'm not gonna go out there and

1456
01:20:56,520 --> 01:20:59,280
Speaker 1: draw up all these Zany plays when I got the

1457
01:20:59,280 --> 01:21:01,080
Speaker 1: best guy in the league. Maybe there's a little of that,

1458
01:21:01,240 --> 01:21:03,519
Speaker 1: but I'm with you. It was always fun. There was

1459
01:21:03,560 --> 01:21:05,600
Speaker 1: somebody on social today that put, you know, some of

1460
01:21:05,640 --> 01:21:08,439
Speaker 1: the Brian day ball trick plays on Twitter and had

1461
01:21:08,439 --> 01:21:10,720
Speaker 1: a little highlight reel, and there's some fun stuff all

1462
01:21:10,760 --> 01:21:14,000
Speaker 1: the way back to the the Arizona game out in Arizona,

1463
01:21:14,080 --> 01:21:17,599
Speaker 1: the Hail Murray play, the Bills had John Brown throwing

1464
01:21:17,720 --> 01:21:20,840
Speaker 1: touchdown because Isaiah McKenzie that threw it Isaiah McKenzie, Josh

1465
01:21:21,040 --> 01:21:24,760
Speaker 1: and then Josh Brown threw one too. Devin Singletary in

1466
01:21:24,880 --> 01:21:27,840
Speaker 1: Dallas on Thanksgiving. So because some of that stuff going on,

1467
01:21:27,880 --> 01:21:29,200
Speaker 1: So yeah, I get it. It's a lot of fun

1468
01:21:29,280 --> 01:21:31,679
Speaker 1: to see. I just don't think this is an offense

1469
01:21:32,479 --> 01:21:36,880
Speaker 1: the needs that stuff and there are certain moments for it.

1470
01:21:39,000 --> 01:21:40,719
Speaker 1: I think it has more. I think you're right, Brownie,

1471
01:21:40,720 --> 01:21:42,720
Speaker 1: I think it has more to do with Ken Dorsey's hand. Listen,

1472
01:21:42,800 --> 01:21:44,920
Speaker 1: let's just we got the guy. Let's just use him well.

1473
01:21:45,000 --> 01:21:47,679
Speaker 1: And to your point earlier in the show, they scored

1474
01:21:47,720 --> 01:21:49,800
Speaker 1: over thirty points the last four games. It's not like

1475
01:21:49,880 --> 01:21:52,639
Speaker 1: they're hurting for points. Yeah, that's Nothing's broken, that's for sure.

1476
01:21:53,320 --> 01:21:56,240
Speaker 1: Let's go to Dylan in Pennsylvania. What do you got

1477
01:21:56,280 --> 01:22:00,360
Speaker 1: for his? Dyalon? Hey, soos, thanks for taking Michael ball. Sure. Um,

1478
01:22:01,000 --> 01:22:03,840
Speaker 1: I just wanted to touch on the only thing I

1479
01:22:03,880 --> 01:22:06,559
Speaker 1: really haven't seen in really in comparison to last year,

1480
01:22:06,680 --> 01:22:09,320
Speaker 1: is uh, these kind of seamless drives. It just seems

1481
01:22:09,320 --> 01:22:12,280
Speaker 1: like a lot of backyard ball, and you just don't

1482
01:22:12,280 --> 01:22:15,360
Speaker 1: see these kind of three or five stuff drop first

1483
01:22:15,439 --> 01:22:17,559
Speaker 1: or second read. It just solways seems like he's running

1484
01:22:17,560 --> 01:22:20,040
Speaker 1: around and I don't know if maybe having some design

1485
01:22:20,160 --> 01:22:23,040
Speaker 1: rollout passes or it's just I'm not saying complicate the

1486
01:22:23,120 --> 01:22:26,080
Speaker 1: offense anymore, but it just seems like something's different between

1487
01:22:26,160 --> 01:22:29,439
Speaker 1: Dable and Dorsey. Um. And that's just kind of where

1488
01:22:29,479 --> 01:22:31,360
Speaker 1: I'm that and real quick and I'll let you guys run.

1489
01:22:31,600 --> 01:22:33,160
Speaker 1: I just wanted to thank you for all you do.

1490
01:22:33,680 --> 01:22:35,600
Speaker 1: I'm from Pennsylvania, but I have family up there. We

1491
01:22:35,680 --> 01:22:38,320
Speaker 1: just lost a family member, UM, and I just always

1492
01:22:38,360 --> 01:22:40,519
Speaker 1: turned to you guys to to bring me out of

1493
01:22:40,560 --> 01:22:42,360
Speaker 1: some really dark times. So it's an honor to speak

1494
01:22:42,400 --> 01:22:44,680
Speaker 1: to both of you. UM, and I really appreciate and

1495
01:22:44,760 --> 01:22:49,080
Speaker 1: love you guys. So go Bills, Thank you sorry about

1496
01:22:49,080 --> 01:22:54,280
Speaker 1: your loss. Yeah, I get it. I sometimes it does

1497
01:22:54,400 --> 01:22:59,280
Speaker 1: seem their success does seem fragile when you see Josh

1498
01:22:59,400 --> 01:23:01,160
Speaker 1: do something so uper human that nobody else can do,

1499
01:23:01,200 --> 01:23:03,240
Speaker 1: and think, oh gosh, if you're gonna have to have

1500
01:23:03,280 --> 01:23:05,519
Speaker 1: a superhuman guy to do something, what are we doing here?

1501
01:23:05,600 --> 01:23:10,840
Speaker 1: You know? I would revert back to and and let

1502
01:23:10,920 --> 01:23:13,200
Speaker 1: you realize, think back to the first couple of weeks

1503
01:23:13,240 --> 01:23:15,800
Speaker 1: of this last Sea this season, this regular season, when

1504
01:23:15,840 --> 01:23:17,320
Speaker 1: they go out to la and beat the Rams, and

1505
01:23:17,320 --> 01:23:19,040
Speaker 1: they come home and they play Tennessee and they do

1506
01:23:19,120 --> 01:23:25,080
Speaker 1: the same thing. They certainly have that in their tank

1507
01:23:25,600 --> 01:23:27,800
Speaker 1: where they can be very efficient. You brought it up.

1508
01:23:28,000 --> 01:23:29,880
Speaker 1: We were looking for that first month of the season.

1509
01:23:29,960 --> 01:23:32,519
Speaker 1: We were looking for differences between Ken Dorsey and Brian Dable,

1510
01:23:32,560 --> 01:23:34,360
Speaker 1: and the one you came up with was accurate and

1511
01:23:34,479 --> 01:23:40,200
Speaker 1: the data backed it up. They're much more efficient. They

1512
01:23:40,280 --> 01:23:43,200
Speaker 1: stayed on the field. They were doing this balls out

1513
01:23:43,320 --> 01:23:45,960
Speaker 1: on time, easy completion, let's go, balls out on time,

1514
01:23:46,000 --> 01:23:48,439
Speaker 1: easy completion, let's go, nice little run play set up

1515
01:23:48,479 --> 01:23:50,800
Speaker 1: second and short, easy completion, let's go. And they just

1516
01:23:50,920 --> 01:23:53,120
Speaker 1: went down the field and they were just unstoppable. And

1517
01:23:53,200 --> 01:23:55,439
Speaker 1: then late in games once in a while, you hit them,

1518
01:23:55,720 --> 01:23:57,760
Speaker 1: you'd nick the defense with a big play once they

1519
01:23:57,840 --> 01:24:02,280
Speaker 1: got impatient or desperate to make something happened. And it's

1520
01:24:02,520 --> 01:24:04,479
Speaker 1: gotten away from that a little bit. And some of

1521
01:24:04,560 --> 01:24:06,960
Speaker 1: that has been the defenses and the plans that they've

1522
01:24:07,000 --> 01:24:12,479
Speaker 1: been facing, like this last Dolphins game. Difficult, difficult team

1523
01:24:12,520 --> 01:24:17,000
Speaker 1: to plinkty plink down the field because they're going zero

1524
01:24:17,120 --> 01:24:22,439
Speaker 1: cover right yea, And teams are now I think you're

1525
01:24:22,439 --> 01:24:25,360
Speaker 1: seeing it all the time now. They are really really

1526
01:24:25,439 --> 01:24:28,080
Speaker 1: doing their best not to let Josh out of the pocket.

1527
01:24:28,800 --> 01:24:31,639
Speaker 1: They don't want Josh Allen running all over the joint.

1528
01:24:32,280 --> 01:24:35,120
Speaker 1: They're very if they play man. They got a guy

1529
01:24:36,400 --> 01:24:38,960
Speaker 1: as a spy who's an athlete enough to keep Josh

1530
01:24:39,040 --> 01:24:40,680
Speaker 1: him in the pocket. And he doesn't even he's not

1531
01:24:40,720 --> 01:24:43,799
Speaker 1: even trying to tackle Josh. He's trying to herd Josh

1532
01:24:44,120 --> 01:24:47,120
Speaker 1: back into the pocket to keep him in there as

1533
01:24:47,160 --> 01:24:50,800
Speaker 1: the pocket tries to collapse around him. So that's the

1534
01:24:50,960 --> 01:24:53,840
Speaker 1: strategy that teams are deploying against the Bills, and it

1535
01:24:53,960 --> 01:25:00,280
Speaker 1: doesn't lend itself to an efficient, easy completion offense. Yeah,

1536
01:25:00,640 --> 01:25:03,120
Speaker 1: So I think you know, the until the Bills come

1537
01:25:03,200 --> 01:25:05,120
Speaker 1: up with an answer or prove that that is a

1538
01:25:05,400 --> 01:25:08,320
Speaker 1: devastating way to lose a game for these teams. You're

1539
01:25:08,320 --> 01:25:10,680
Speaker 1: going to see it a lot. Let's go back to

1540
01:25:10,760 --> 01:25:15,280
Speaker 1: the phones and to Carol in Tonawanda. Next. Here we go, Carol,

1541
01:25:15,360 --> 01:25:17,639
Speaker 1: we got you. Now what do you got for us? Yeah?

1542
01:25:17,760 --> 01:25:20,400
Speaker 1: Thanks for taking the call, and I appreciate your insight

1543
01:25:20,479 --> 01:25:23,080
Speaker 1: on all different matters. But can you please explain to

1544
01:25:23,200 --> 01:25:28,080
Speaker 1: me related to the potential touchdown review that didn't occur

1545
01:25:28,240 --> 01:25:31,120
Speaker 1: on the field. Why didn't that happen? Why didn't we

1546
01:25:31,240 --> 01:25:34,120
Speaker 1: have an opportunity to review that? I saw in some

1547
01:25:34,280 --> 01:25:37,599
Speaker 1: other games some yardage reviews took place during the last

1548
01:25:37,640 --> 01:25:39,920
Speaker 1: two minutes of the game, and I was wondering if

1549
01:25:39,960 --> 01:25:42,680
Speaker 1: you could just explain or what the difference was and

1550
01:25:42,760 --> 01:25:45,800
Speaker 1: why that couldn't take place. Yeah, well, here's the thing, Carol,

1551
01:25:45,880 --> 01:25:48,719
Speaker 1: they did review that, and what happens is what people

1552
01:25:48,760 --> 01:25:51,599
Speaker 1: are losing sight of. There's a there's an official up

1553
01:25:51,640 --> 01:25:53,840
Speaker 1: in the booth who looks at stuff in real time,

1554
01:25:54,360 --> 01:25:55,960
Speaker 1: and when they do, like you'll see it, and they

1555
01:25:56,000 --> 01:25:58,120
Speaker 1: won't even they won't announce it, which is why it

1556
01:25:58,240 --> 01:26:00,600
Speaker 1: kind of goes by. They'll they'll adjust the spot of

1557
01:26:00,640 --> 01:26:04,479
Speaker 1: the ball depending on what that guy upstairs says that

1558
01:26:04,680 --> 01:26:06,640
Speaker 1: the officials are watching the players, and then they come

1559
01:26:06,720 --> 01:26:08,680
Speaker 1: up and they spot the ball well if they if

1560
01:26:08,720 --> 01:26:12,080
Speaker 1: they don't spot the ball really accurately, the guy upstairs

1561
01:26:12,120 --> 01:26:13,600
Speaker 1: will say, hey, you need to move that back a

1562
01:26:13,720 --> 01:26:16,840
Speaker 1: full yard. He's radioing directly to the referee on the field.

1563
01:26:16,880 --> 01:26:19,200
Speaker 1: The official in the booth who has all these monitors,

1564
01:26:19,240 --> 01:26:21,799
Speaker 1: who's watching the angles as they come up, he's relaying

1565
01:26:21,840 --> 01:26:23,360
Speaker 1: to the field says, hey, you missed that. Spot it

1566
01:26:23,439 --> 01:26:25,720
Speaker 1: and should be a yard back. He stepped out a

1567
01:26:25,760 --> 01:26:28,920
Speaker 1: bounds at the twenty three, not the twenty five. And

1568
01:26:29,040 --> 01:26:31,120
Speaker 1: they will fix that so that they don't have to

1569
01:26:31,160 --> 01:26:33,000
Speaker 1: review it because they know they've got coaches on the

1570
01:26:33,080 --> 01:26:35,680
Speaker 1: staffs on step that will be doing it for as

1571
01:26:35,720 --> 01:26:38,640
Speaker 1: well too, and and they will save the challenges. Now

1572
01:26:38,720 --> 01:26:41,000
Speaker 1: the Steph digs one handed catch where he brought it

1573
01:26:41,120 --> 01:26:44,800
Speaker 1: in when he reached out and pulled, caught the ball,

1574
01:26:44,920 --> 01:26:46,920
Speaker 1: stopped the ball and started to bring it in. The

1575
01:26:47,000 --> 01:26:49,120
Speaker 1: ball turned so he had to like catch it again

1576
01:26:49,160 --> 01:26:52,120
Speaker 1: at his body. By the time he did that, his

1577
01:26:52,280 --> 01:26:55,360
Speaker 1: foot was off the ground. His first foot was off

1578
01:26:55,439 --> 01:26:58,400
Speaker 1: the ground and it was so it wasn't a TD.

1579
01:26:59,280 --> 01:27:02,520
Speaker 1: It wasn't not a touchdown, So they did that upstairs,

1580
01:27:02,800 --> 01:27:05,920
Speaker 1: and that's why you didn't have to stop the whole

1581
01:27:05,960 --> 01:27:07,719
Speaker 1: game go back and look at because it was a filter.

1582
01:27:07,800 --> 01:27:11,240
Speaker 1: McDermot was incredulous though, because he even burned a time

1583
01:27:11,280 --> 01:27:14,120
Speaker 1: out to give the guy upstairs more time to radio down,

1584
01:27:14,240 --> 01:27:17,200
Speaker 1: not knowing the communication had probably already taken place, right,

1585
01:27:17,320 --> 01:27:20,240
Speaker 1: that's right, and that's that's one that was easy because

1586
01:27:20,280 --> 01:27:22,680
Speaker 1: Steph didn't have control of it when he brought it

1587
01:27:22,760 --> 01:27:25,760
Speaker 1: back down, and that's why. And by that time his

1588
01:27:25,800 --> 01:27:27,360
Speaker 1: foot was up off the ground and then it came

1589
01:27:27,400 --> 01:27:28,920
Speaker 1: down out of bounds again, so it was out of

1590
01:27:28,920 --> 01:27:30,880
Speaker 1: bounds and he caught it, but he caught it out

1591
01:27:30,920 --> 01:27:35,400
Speaker 1: of bounds. That's why that the official upstairs was reviewing

1592
01:27:35,479 --> 01:27:38,320
Speaker 1: that real time. And obviously because it was a receiver

1593
01:27:38,520 --> 01:27:41,040
Speaker 1: down the sidelines by themselves, they had plenty of angles

1594
01:27:41,080 --> 01:27:44,160
Speaker 1: of it. It just wasn't a catch. It was close, yea,

1595
01:27:44,320 --> 01:27:46,400
Speaker 1: and he did catch it, but he caught it out

1596
01:27:46,439 --> 01:27:48,719
Speaker 1: of bounds. And that's sure. You know, there's two carol

1597
01:27:49,040 --> 01:27:53,400
Speaker 1: under two minutes. Coaches can't challenge. That's strictly booth review

1598
01:27:53,520 --> 01:27:55,880
Speaker 1: only if they choose to review it. But a lot

1599
01:27:55,960 --> 01:27:58,599
Speaker 1: of times, as Steve pointed out, with this sky judge

1600
01:27:58,680 --> 01:28:00,080
Speaker 1: up there. Now, they do a lot of that in

1601
01:28:00,160 --> 01:28:02,840
Speaker 1: real time so they don't need to waste time on

1602
01:28:02,960 --> 01:28:06,360
Speaker 1: a review and they get it right. And I thought too.

1603
01:28:07,880 --> 01:28:09,240
Speaker 1: I didn't think it was a catch either. It was

1604
01:28:09,280 --> 01:28:11,559
Speaker 1: a it was a catch, It just wasn't a touchdown. Yeah,

1605
01:28:11,600 --> 01:28:13,439
Speaker 1: and he was out of bounds that it was close

1606
01:28:13,720 --> 01:28:16,240
Speaker 1: and you'd like to see him get that, but it

1607
01:28:16,400 --> 01:28:18,479
Speaker 1: didn't work. Yeah, break time for us. We'll close it

1608
01:28:18,560 --> 01:28:34,800
Speaker 1: up next year on One Bill's Live. Stay tuned all

1609
01:28:34,840 --> 01:28:37,360
Speaker 1: right back here on One Bill's Live, Chris Brown, Steve Tasker,

1610
01:28:37,720 --> 01:28:39,680
Speaker 1: as we are just about done for the day. But

1611
01:28:42,680 --> 01:28:47,960
Speaker 1: I just saw the tweet Steve that Jerry Jones issued

1612
01:28:48,320 --> 01:28:54,200
Speaker 1: last night during the game. So here's his kicker going

1613
01:28:54,320 --> 01:28:58,800
Speaker 1: through a nightmarish scenario having missed. I don't know when

1614
01:28:58,840 --> 01:29:01,040
Speaker 1: he sent this after the third missed extra point or

1615
01:29:01,080 --> 01:29:06,719
Speaker 1: the fourth. Jerry Jones tweets out during the game. Games

1616
01:29:06,800 --> 01:29:10,320
Speaker 1: still going on, and he tweets, if you can kick

1617
01:29:10,400 --> 01:29:12,880
Speaker 1: and are currently in the stadium right now, come on

1618
01:29:13,080 --> 01:29:15,600
Speaker 1: down to the field. We've got a jersey for you.

1619
01:29:17,800 --> 01:29:25,800
Speaker 1: Is that legit? It looks like his verified account, is it. Ah,

1620
01:29:25,920 --> 01:29:27,880
Speaker 1: that's a fake one because the real Jerry Jones, says,

1621
01:29:27,920 --> 01:29:30,439
Speaker 1: the real Jerry Jones is Robert Griffin. The third was

1622
01:29:30,600 --> 01:29:33,360
Speaker 1: laughing like it was real. Well, it's kind of funny

1623
01:29:34,280 --> 01:29:36,479
Speaker 1: because it's not. No, it's funny because it's not the

1624
01:29:36,600 --> 01:29:40,000
Speaker 1: real Jerry. Yeah, but that's uh, that's one of the

1625
01:29:40,040 --> 01:29:44,760
Speaker 1: old time historic nights. Um, you let me see. Well,

1626
01:29:44,760 --> 01:29:47,880
Speaker 1: I'm I feel better now that we know it's not Jerry.

1627
01:29:48,280 --> 01:29:49,479
Speaker 1: We'll see you tomorrow at one
