1
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 1: This this one.

2
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:35,200
Speaker 2: Bill's Live presented by Kalida Health.

3
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:40,240
Speaker 3: Alrighty, then, how's everybody doing here on a Tuesday? Chris Brown,

4
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:44,559
Speaker 3: stay tasker with you as we flip the page and

5
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:51,319
Speaker 3: look forward to the divisional playoff Bill's at Broncos. And

6
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 3: we knew that you know the day of the game.

7
00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 3: Now with the wild Card round officially in the books,

8
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 3: we now know the time for Saturday's Divisional playoff for

9
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:10,319
Speaker 3: Buffalo in Denver. It'll be a four to thirty PM kickoff,

10
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:14,399
Speaker 3: and I gotta say I'm selfishly I would prefer that

11
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 3: there made no sense to have Seattle and San Francisco

12
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 3: on at four point thirty instead of being the late

13
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 3: game at eight. So yeah, all right, I'm for it.

14
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 4: Whatever, let's go.

15
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 3: There is some roster news that is coming down right

16
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:35,400
Speaker 3: now for the Bills, and it was not good concerning

17
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 3: wide receiver Gabe Davis. Head coach Sean McDermott confirmed that

18
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,680
Speaker 3: he suffered a torn acl in the game against Jacksonville.

19
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 3: His season is over, the second straight by the way

20
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 3: that was ended by a serious knee injury, and the

21
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 3: team just announced he's officially been placed on injured reserve.

22
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 3: There were two other transactions just made by the Bills.

23
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 3: They signed wide receiver Christian Wilkerson to the practice squad.

24
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 3: He was with the team in training camp and on

25
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 3: the practice squad for about the first half of the season.

26
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 3: They additionally signed offensive lineman Nick Broker to a reserve

27
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 3: futures contract. He cannot play for the Bills at any

28
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 3: point in time this postseason, but he will be with

29
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 3: the club come the springtime. Jordan Poyer's hamstring injury considered

30
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 3: a week to week injury. He will not be available

31
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 3: for Saturday's divisional playoffs, so it'll be interesting to see

32
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 3: what they decide to do at his safety spot this week.

33
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 3: Players who missed last week's game with injuries like Terrell Bernard,

34
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 3: Max Harston, and Ty Johnson, Coach McDermott said they're all improving.

35
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 3: Their availability for Saturday will be assessed as the week

36
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 3: of practice moves along. The good news, the Bills are

37
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 3: opening the practice windows of wide receiver Curtis Samuel and

38
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 3: defensive tackle at Oliver. Samuel was eligible to return effective

39
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 3: week seventeen after spending the minimum four weeks on IR

40
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 3: but he's only going to be in practicing now and

41
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:09,839
Speaker 3: Oliver has been on IR since Week seven. A determination

42
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 3: on whether to activate them to the fifty three man

43
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:17,639
Speaker 3: roster will be determined later in the week. So, as

44
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 3: we know, Ed was trending toward returning in the postseason,

45
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,639
Speaker 3: then had the meniscus injury in his knee while training

46
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 3: to return. Had a cleanup procedure two weeks ago this

47
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 3: past Monday, and scope procedures usually take about two to

48
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 3: four weeks to recover from, so he'll be almost three

49
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 3: full weeks out of that surgery by the time we

50
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 3: get to Saturday's game. So we'll see if he's trending up.

51
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 3: We'll be a hell of an edition.

52
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 4: If he is, yeah, that'll be a little boost. It'll

53
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 4: be The key thing is going to be watching how

54
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 4: much he practices limited and practice limited in practice, and

55
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 4: you know, maybe it's it's not to be, but if

56
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 4: he comes out and gets a full practice in, you

57
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 4: gotta think, oh, maybe.

58
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 3: He's gotta be jumping at the bit to pull my gosh.

59
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 4: And he'd be I mean, you'd like to think it's

60
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 4: like God, you know, turn it on like a light switch, right,

61
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,479
Speaker 4: It might not be that easy. I mean, he's he's

62
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:23,159
Speaker 4: been gone for two months more than two months, so

63
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 4: almost three. So I mean it's not gonna be like.

64
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean even riding a bike, I would say,

65
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 3: even if he does play, they're probably gonna have to

66
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 3: put him on a rep count. Right, you would think

67
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,919
Speaker 3: after that kind of a layoff, I don't think you

68
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 3: want to. I realize it's the playoffs. It doesn't matter.

69
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 3: Go yeah because it's winter, or go home. Maybe you do.

70
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 3: Maybe you just throw caution in the wind and say

71
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,720
Speaker 3: go let's go get me and if you need a blow,

72
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 3: just put your hand up. We'll sell you out. I

73
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 3: don't know. Yeah, Typically he plays fifty five to sixty

74
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 3: percent of the snaps.

75
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,239
Speaker 4: Of the defensive snaps y, which is like twenty five percent

76
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 4: of the plays of the game, which would be like

77
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 4: in this last we would have been like twenty five

78
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 4: twenty six snaps.

79
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 3: I think he could probably swing that, right, But in

80
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 3: the altitude, that's the other thing to consider here. He

81
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 3: hasn't played in three months, and now he's not only playing,

82
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 3: but he's playing an altitude.

83
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 4: You gotta they got that would have been twenty seven,

84
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 4: That would have been twenty seven snaps defensively if he'd

85
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 4: played his full compliment twenty seven.

86
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 3: I don't know. Maybe I think you just let him

87
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 3: go as long as he can.

88
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,119
Speaker 4: I think he rotate him in normally until the game

89
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 4: gets to the point where you know they got sixty

90
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 4: offensive snaps going right, and then you kind of take

91
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 4: it easy. Maybe maybe I don't know. He was he

92
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:55,799
Speaker 4: was a wrecking crew when he was in Early this season,

93
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 4: he was off to a fantastic start as defensive tackle.

94
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 4: We're seeing highlights now of him in the opening Week

95
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 4: one game against Baltimore where he forced the Derreck Henry

96
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 4: fumble late in the game that gave the Bills a

97
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 4: chance to come back and take the lead and win

98
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 4: the game.

99
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 3: Right. Yeah, the raakeout also had a sack in that

100
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,039
Speaker 3: game on lamar If I remember.

101
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 4: I had a tackle for loss. He was a wrecking crew. Yeah,

102
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 4: it's fun to think about.

103
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:33,720
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, people talk about how they're and you

104
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 3: can say what you want about Greg russou I was

105
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:40,479
Speaker 3: expecting a double digit sax season out of Greg Russoe

106
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 3: for the first time in his career, figuring with the

107
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 3: attention that Bosa and Oliver would command across the front

108
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 3: that he would get more one on one opportunities. Now

109
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 3: he ends up finishing as the again back to back

110
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 3: seasons Grousseau teams leader in sacks, tackles for loss, and

111
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 3: quarterback hits for the second street see. I would argue

112
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 3: that if ed Oliver was healthy all season long, Greg

113
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 3: Russell would have had double digit sacks this season because

114
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 3: the attention he commands on the inside, I would argue

115
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 3: would leave more favorable matchups for RUSSELLU on the outside.

116
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 3: And I think maybe that translates into three more sacks

117
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 3: yet ten.

118
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 4: And there you are probably, But I mean, I know

119
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 4: I'm projecting rabbit hole and you go down and see

120
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 4: with Mike Hoyt and ed Oliver and Russo and Bosa,

121
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 4: they were lined up to be a much different crew

122
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 4: than they have been. And it wouldn't have taken the

123
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 4: coaching staff three months to figure out a way to

124
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 4: kind of cobble it together the way they have had to.

125
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 4: They're playing much better here now in the last month.

126
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 4: They'll question about if the coaching staffs finally learned who

127
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 4: they got and guys are getting more confident. More reps

128
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 4: means better play if you can stay healthy, and that's

129
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 4: always a tough balance. And they're getting it together now.

130
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 4: But man, it could Yeah, it'll be it'll That's what

131
00:07:58,120 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 4: this If this never doesn't turn out the way the

132
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 4: Bills wanted to, obviously, that's what's gonna be the narrative

133
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 4: on that side of the ball. It would have, could have,

134
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 4: should have if the injuries wouldn't have ravaged him. If you'

135
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 4: you know, lost the guys at the other end of

136
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 4: the pecking order instead of the top of the pecking order,

137
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 4: how different would it have been. Yeah, we'll never know,

138
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 4: but it does. It will be good to get ed

139
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 4: back because he's a guy who's got some experience. It'll

140
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 4: be interesting to see how he feels and how he

141
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 4: communicates with the guys he hasn't played with for three

142
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 4: months because they've they've gone down the road. Man, they're

143
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 4: one hundred and fifty miles into this journey, right.

144
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 3: He's played with Daikwan for a long time.

145
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:40,559
Speaker 4: Greg two Russo too. But you know it's he's new.

146
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 4: He's gonna have fresh legs, yeah, right.

147
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, he'll have his legs are gonna feel like

148
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 3: he's twelve.

149
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,440

Speaker 3: of the league's best, and they showed why in their

158
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 3: thirty to six drubbing of the Pittsburgh Steelers in the

159
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 3: final wild card game of the weekend on Monday Night

160
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 3: Football and what could also be the last career game

161
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 3: for Aaron Rodgers. Texans held the Steelers offense to one

162
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 3: hundred and seventy five total yards while sacking Rogers four times,

163
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 3: forcing him into two turnovers that went for touchdowns. They

164
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 3: also had so they had a fumble return for a

165
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:46,959
Speaker 3: touchdown and a pick six. They did sustain a key loss, however,

166
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 3: the Texans did. Top receiver Nico Collins exited the game

167
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 3: and is now in concussion protocol, the second of the

168
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 3: season for him. He also sustained a concussion back in

169
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 3: Week seven and on short week where they're playing in

170
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 3: six days, unlikely to have collins when they face the Patriots,

171
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 3: So the rest of the divisional playoff weekend plays out

172
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 3: like this. Seattle will host San Francisco in the NFC

173
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 3: Divisional Playoff on Saturday night, eight pm kickoff. That's after

174
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:23,479
Speaker 3: the Bills game at four thirty. Sunday three pm. Texans

175
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 3: will travel to New England to play the Patriots, and

176
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,079
Speaker 3: the Bears will host the Rams for a six thirty

177
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 3: kickoff on Sunday evening. So those are your matchups. A

178
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 3: lot has been made about the weather that the Rams

179
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 3: will come up against in Chicago. Cold six thirty pm kickoff.

180
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 4: Like Chicago. I went to school in Chicago. It's like

181
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:57,079
Speaker 4: dangerous cold in Chicago. Like, don't go outside cold in Chicago.

182
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:02,319
Speaker 4: I mean, it's it's unbelievable. I'm coming from La. Yeah,

183
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 4: it's gonna be an issue. It's gonna be an issue.

184
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 4: I don't even.

185
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 3: Well in Philadelphia last year.

186
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 4: Guys from down there, like New Orleans, Miami, Jacksonville, Tampa,

187
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 4: La San Diego, back in the day, Arizona. Certainly those

188
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 4: guys got to root around. They gotta they gotta go

189
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 4: find something to wear. They don't even have coats down there. Seriously,

190
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 4: they used to bust out Miami Dolphin parkas I'm like,

191
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 4: where do you keep those? Right? It's unbelievable. It's it's

192
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 4: a thing. And I'm not saying they can't play in

193
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:40,719
Speaker 4: it and all that, but man, you're not used to it,

194
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,440
Speaker 4: and it does make a difference when you live in

195
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 4: it like we do here in Buffalo, like they do

196
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 4: in Chicago, like they do in you know, New York

197
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 4: and New England. You when you live in it, it's

198
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 4: not a shock. You kind of get all right, I

199
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 4: got you practice in it once in a while. You

200
00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 4: kind of know, Okay, I got to do this and

201
00:11:58,880 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 4: this to stay warms.

202
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 3: You know.

203
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 4: It's not a it's not this big experiment in the

204
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 4: pregame warm ups where you go out and say, gosh,

205
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 4: I don't know if I can I don't know if

206
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 4: I can play with these tights on, with these long

207
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 4: Johns on under my pants. Yeah, I gotta I gotta

208
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 4: do something else. You gotta figure stuff like that out.

209
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 4: That's a huge distraction on game day.

210
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:18,079
Speaker 3: So it's not nothing.

211
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 4: It's not nothing. I'm not saying it's going to be

212
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 4: the tilt tipping point, but it may lead to something

213
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 4: that is that you're not ready for or you're not

214
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 4: as ready. So it's it's not nothing. Yeah, it is

215
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 4: not nothing. And I'll my my wife's whole crew, our

216
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 4: old family. My wife was born in Boulder, Colorado. We

217
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 4: spend a lot of time in Colorado over the course

218
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 4: of our young lit and our younger years. We spend

219
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 4: a lot of time with vacation out there. We go

220
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 4: out there. We're very familiar with Colorado. It'll be awesome.

221
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 4: In Denver. It might be fifty it'll be sunny during

222
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 4: the day.

223
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 3: They said fifty five for the high it's now.

224
00:12:56,480 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 4: It won't be that warm at it, but it'll be dry,

225
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 4: it'll be it'll be great.

226
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 3: Well, actually it's four thirty eastern, so it's two thirty mountaintop.

227
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, it'll be great, fifty five, it will be The

228
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:13,679
Speaker 4: altitude is not nothing. But I've never it never affected

229
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 4: me going out there to play. I only played there

230
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 4: a couple of times. Once I went front was plit

231
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 4: the Oilers. We played there in the in the regular

232
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 4: season early and you go from Houston, which is sea

233
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 4: level virtually to the mountain and I didn't feel like

234
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 4: it was an issue for that team. But you know,

235
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 4: because they're in shape and you know, yeah, yeah, as

236
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 4: long as you hydrate and all that, that's that's nothing.

237
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 4: You know, it shouldn't be that big of an issue.

238
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 4: But yeah, Prader will have a big leg up there too, and.

239
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 3: He's kicked there before. He's to kick for the.

240
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 4: Broncos ten percent longer kick.

241
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 3: Probably coaching carousel news. The Atlanta Falcons announced Monday they

242
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 3: have completed an interview with John Harbaugh for their head

243
00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 3: coaching job. It is Harbaugh's first form of interview since

244
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 3: he was fired by the Ravens last week. Harbaugh has

245
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 3: been conducting preliminary and extensive phone calls with the Giants, Titans, Browns, Raiders,

246
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 3: and Cardinals. He's trying to determine which teams to meet

247
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,679
Speaker 3: with later this week and into next week before deciding

248
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 3: where he will coach next season. But it looks like

249
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 3: he is going to jump back into coaching right away.

250
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 3: A busy interview schedule for the Tennessee Titans head coaching

251
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 3: post today, Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Halfley interviews Wednesday. They're

252
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 3: interviewing former Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel and former Giants

253
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 3: head coach Brian Dable is going to interview on Friday

254
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 3: with the Titans. Mike McCarthy Saturday. Former Cardinals head coach

255
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 3: Jonathan Yahn and forty nine Ers defensive coordinator Robert Salah

256
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 3: are both going to interview on Sunday. So the Titans

257
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 3: are going, Yeah, it's it's like a half a dozen

258
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 3: guys in five days.

259
00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 4: Well, think about it, You've got eight opening so there's

260
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 4: those eight guys who got fired at one place will

261
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 4: certainly be on the list for the teams looking for somebody.

262
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 4: So you've got seven candidates right away for the other

263
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 4: seven teams each of those teams. Then you've got all

264
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 4: the guys that are fresh out, like Mike McCarthy's of

265
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 4: the world, all of those guys. Then you've got the

266
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 4: hot coordinators like Joe Brady, like Ben Johnson was last year,

267
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 4: like Liam Cohen was last year. You've got all the

268
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 4: hot coordinators for the teams still in the playoffs. Robert

269
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 4: Salah in San Francisco is going to be on that list.

270
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 4: Anthony Weaver is going to be on that list. Jesse

271
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 4: Jesse Mentor is now making the rounds. So you've got

272
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 4: for eight openings, you've got the seven other head coaches

273
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 4: who were fired, and what ten coordinators that are on

274
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 4: the list, at least at least the hottest ones. Just

275
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 4: say nothing of the Minnesota guy. The defensive coordinator Minnesota

276
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 4: florda Ryan Flores is on all those lists. So you

277
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 4: got all these guys. I don't know how we can

278
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 4: even talk about it today. It's well.

279
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 3: Former Brown, former Brown's head coach Kevin Stefanski is set

280
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 3: to interview with the Dolphins for their head coaching position. Meanwhile,

281
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 3: the Washington Commanders have coordinator jobs to fill, so they're

282
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 3: hoping to interview defensive coordinator Brian Flores of the Vikings

283
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 3: for their vacant DC job. Flores's contract is up in Minnesota,

284
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 3: so that's why he's able to look for other similar jobs.

285
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 3: They've also requested the Commanders have to interview Falcon's assistant

286
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 3: DJ Williams for their quarterbacks coaching position. Ravens OC Todd

287
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 3: Monkin is going to interview in person for the Bucks

288
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 3: OC job tomorrow in Tampa. The former Bucks assistant worked

289
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 3: with Baker Mayfield for one year in Cleveland. There is

290
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 3: a possibility that Monkin will also just follow Harbaugh to

291
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 3: whatever head coaching job he lands, and then in the

292
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:04,639
Speaker 3: season wrap up press conference with the Carolina Panthers today,

293
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:08,639
Speaker 3: GM Dan Morgan confirmed that the team will be picking

294
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:13,159
Speaker 3: up the fifty year option on quarterback Bryce Young, who

295
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 3: had an encouraging performance I thought in the wild card

296
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 3: game against the Rams, didn't do too bad.

297
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, we can talk all day about this. I don't

298
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 4: know if anybody's even interested in talking about Bryce Young.

299
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 3: But no, probably not.

300
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:33,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, how can It's obviously they've changed ownership in Carolina now,

301
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:39,920
Speaker 4: David Tepper is now the owner. Because the last franchise

302
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 4: quarterback Carolina had could not be more different than the

303
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 4: quarterback they're giving the fifty year option too. You have

304
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 4: to be blind to put Cam Newton on the same

305
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 4: page as Bryce Young. It's two ends of the spectrum.

306
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:57,160
Speaker 4: Bryce Young's a good player, He's functional as a quarterback,

307
00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:00,719
Speaker 4: even as a young player. He can't even get on

308
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 4: the field in a world where Cam Newton was your franchise.

309
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:10,119
Speaker 3: Well, Cam Newton is a physical adonis. Bryce Young is not.

310
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,640
Speaker 4: Well, you've got to have some characteristics to play. Physical characteristics,

311
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:17,359
Speaker 4: and they these teams because of the fact that colleges.

312
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 4: You can play quarterback in college differently than you do

313
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 4: in the NFL. And I know we're kind of biased

314
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 4: because we've got this Buffalo playing here in Buffalo at quarterback.

315
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:31,920
Speaker 4: I mean, we've got.

316
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 3: This this unicorn.

317
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 4: Unicorn slash Wolverine X man who regenerates and like he's

318
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 4: got all this stuff going right, he's got superpowers, So

319
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,640
Speaker 4: I get it. But man, you've got to start somewhere physically.

320
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 4: You've got guys like Bryce Young, You've got guys like Tua.

321
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 4: You've got guys like Kyler Murray playing in the in

322
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 4: the NFL, and they're one of the reasons they're cape

323
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 4: they're able to do it is because of the protections

324
00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 4: of the rules give them. They're physically protected and they

325
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:06,159
Speaker 4: maximize that to stay healthy. Tua did his best, and

326
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:11,159
Speaker 4: even then it's it's hard, right you gotta I mean,

327
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 4: Josh is huge, justin Herbert's huge. Bryce Young and Drake

328
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:19,639
Speaker 4: May are thick athletes. Man, they're you know, they're built

329
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 4: like tight ends back in the day, right, you gotta

330
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:26,120
Speaker 4: have And Bryce Young they're picking up his fifty year.

331
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 3: Option because they don't want to pay him yet.

332
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,880
Speaker 4: Right, and the fact that they have to announce it

333
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 4: that people are like going, I wonder if they are

334
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,439
Speaker 4: that tells you everything, give him one more year and

335
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 4: then go back.

336
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 3: It does you can't.

337
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 4: I don't know how that. Mike McDaniel, the head coach,

338
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 4: former head now head coach of the Dolphins did it

339
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 4: with smoke and mirrors with Tua. That's why he's such

340
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,400
Speaker 4: a hot People want to hire him as their offensive mind,

341
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 4: even if they've got a head coach.

342
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, because he helped to lead the league in passing.

343
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 4: And Tua can't.

344
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 3: But I think about that.

345
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 4: That's how brilliant that guy is. Tua can't play and

346
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 4: Mike McDaniel was the league league. I mean that that's big.

347
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 4: You don't think I mean, if Joe Brady moves on

348
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 4: and goes and becomes a head coach, which he's in

349
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 4: the you know, he's in the conversation for a couple

350
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 4: of these teams.

351
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 3: He's supposed to interview with the Ravens virtually.

352
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, Mike McDaniel can write his own ticket, having done

353
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 4: it with the weapons he had in Miami. I'm just

354
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 4: this is a long conversation. You gotta have and the

355
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 4: fact that they had to announce that they're going to

356
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 4: give Bryce Young his fifth year option. There's yeah there.

357
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 4: You got to have a conversation like are we going

358
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 4: to do it or not?

359
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 3: Oh, I think they're going to do it because they're delaying.

360
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 3: They're delaying the alternative, which is paying him fifty five

361
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 3: million dollars a year to be your franchise quarterback. I

362
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,959
Speaker 3: don't think they have come down on a definitive decision

363
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 3: as to whether or not to do that. This buys

364
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 3: the time, if you because this will be his fourth

365
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:07,159
Speaker 3: year this year, and then if he performs out of

366
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,159
Speaker 3: this world, well okay, then you can talk full time,

367
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 3: major money contract extension. He does the same thing he

368
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 3: did this past year and you know, didn't lead you

369
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 3: to the promised land. I'll play out the fifty year

370
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:20,639
Speaker 3: option while we search for his replacement.

371
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 4: He's he is to a two point zero. He's a

372
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:25,880
Speaker 4: little healthier. I don't know if he's a little healthier

373
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 4: than to stays healthier and that's it.

374
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, Jaden Daniels, same thing. Small guy can't stay on

375
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 3: the field.

376
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 4: It's it's a and you those guys have the ball

377
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,640
Speaker 4: in their hands every offensive snap and there that ball

378
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 4: is nothing but a violence magnet, and sooner or later

379
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 4: it catches up with you.

380
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you go.

381
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 4: You gotta be big enough to hang in there.

382
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 1: M hm.

383
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:54,200
Speaker 3: So that's around the NFL your topic of discussion today.

384
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 3: What as you most encouraged about the Bills heading into

385
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 3: the divisional round of the playoffs? You let us know it.

386
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 3: Eight o three to zero five fifty one fifty fifty.

387
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 3: Let's lead off here with Ken in Buffalo. What's up? Ken?

388
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 5: Hey, good morning, fellas, Good morning.

389
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 3: Good afternoon. How are we doing?

390
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:16,719
Speaker 5: Good after the apartment? Good after? It has been a

391
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,440
Speaker 5: fast paced day. But I just want to add a

392
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:21,439
Speaker 5: couple of thoughts. I do want to address the question

393
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 5: first and foremost. I had a chance to join you

394
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,679
Speaker 5: all yesterday and I just wanted to say I was

395
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 5: remiss and not commenting about Mike Prater's clutch play. Given

396
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 5: his return. We saw how much impact he has had

397
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,199
Speaker 5: since he joined the team days before the Ravens opener

398
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 5: and went making the winning kick then, and of course

399
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 5: we saw what his absent. His absence meant part of

400
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,880
Speaker 5: me when we saw the replacement kicker, we missed two

401
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 5: extra points and back to back weeks, none bigger than

402
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:53,879
Speaker 5: the Eagles game, which we lost. But fast forward, it

403
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 5: should be noted that his kick when he made that

404
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,399
Speaker 5: fifty yard fieldgo after he was moved back five yards

405
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 5: because the delay of game penalty was cut.

406
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:02,199
Speaker 6: Now.

407
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:05,400
Speaker 5: I don't know whose responsibility is with the kicking team

408
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:09,680
Speaker 5: in that instance to flag the potential of a delay

409
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 5: of game by calling a timeout, but at the very

410
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:15,120
Speaker 5: least it's the Germans responsibility. But it wasn't a time

411
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,119
Speaker 5: I wasn't caught, and the fact that he nailed that

412
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,880
Speaker 5: from fifty yards out was big. It meant that that

413
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 5: was decisive in terms of our ultimate winning and the

414
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 5: margin of victory. So that's noteworthy. So big up to prayer,

415
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:29,680
Speaker 5: my hope and expectations that he'll have a big game

416
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 5: against them. As you are, just know that he used

417
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:33,680
Speaker 5: to play for the Broncos. But the other thing worth

418
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 5: noting is there's been a lot of talk about the

419
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 5: altitude and Steve was just commenting about his experience thing hydrated,

420
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 5: et cetera. And I think that's helpful. But I would

421
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 5: like to suggest an axiom of wisdom for the team,

422
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,120
Speaker 5: and they're free to run with this and it goes

423
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:51,640
Speaker 5: like this, your attitude determines your altitude, that is how

424
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 5: high you could fly. So just as other teams get

425
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 5: bumbinded with messaging about how cold it is here, they

426
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,639
Speaker 5: should tune out the stuff about the altitude and realize

427
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 5: this really your attitude that's going to determine how high

428
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 5: you can fly. That is your houseitue. So I want

429
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 5: to impart that to the team. Now for the question,

430
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,919
Speaker 5: what actually you know is encouraging or what are we

431
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 5: looking forward to what we feel best about in terms

432
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 5: of this matchup, I think that the fact that this

433
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 5: team demonstrated that they could play good, complimentary football is critical.

434
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:22,200
Speaker 5: Save for the fumble by Ray Davis, the special teams,

435
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 5: the offense, and the defense all complimented each other very

436
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 5: very well. So I think that sort of expectation is

437
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 5: real and that that was such an emotional victory. That

438
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 5: was a big win, it was a playoff win. I

439
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,440
Speaker 5: think it's going to catapult this team, and I believe

440
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 5: they have an advantage. The pressure is really on Denver.

441
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,200
Speaker 5: They have the homestell advantage, and they've been idle. They've

442
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 5: been sitting waiting for an opportunity, and they really didn't

443
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:45,440
Speaker 5: want to face the Bills, no matter what they may say,

444
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 5: so I haven't said as much. That's what I'm thinking.

445
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 5: Good complimentary football, work with the things that work best,

446
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 5: and I think the team will be fired before me.

447
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 5: But I just want to say shout out to my

448
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:55,159
Speaker 5: brother Roy. He's a viewer. He always watches you. He

449
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 5: always says, yeah, I heard you on the radio. So

450
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:58,160
Speaker 5: I want to say shout out to him. But thanks

451
00:24:58,160 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 5: for taking my car. You continue to do.

452
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 3: Jot all right, Thanks, Ken, appreciate that. Yeah. And look,

453
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 3: the Broncos try to impart that messaging on any team

454
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,640
Speaker 3: that comes into their building. Right outside the visiting team

455
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:16,640
Speaker 3: locker room in that stadium, they have a giant mural

456
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:20,680
Speaker 3: that says, welcome to fifty two hundred and eighty feet

457
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 3: above sea level. You know, the whole thing. And even

458
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:30,119
Speaker 3: the Broncos helmets where that usual Riddell logo logo is

459
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 3: on the very front of the helmet, right above the

460
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:34,879
Speaker 3: eyebrows there in the face mask, right on the crown

461
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 3: of the helmet. There the Denver helmets all say fifty

462
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 3: to eighty. They are trying to drill it into the

463
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:45,120
Speaker 3: brains of their opponents that you are a mile above

464
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 3: sea level and you should be impacted by it. Yeah,

465
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:49,639
Speaker 3: I don't know what kind of effect it has, but

466
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 3: they do try.

467
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, no question, it's all gamesman a ship. But yeh,

468
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:58,640
Speaker 4: Prater did kick well in that game, and they did

469
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:00,399
Speaker 4: take a delay of game. I don't think it went

470
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 4: moved it back to fifty, but it moved it back

471
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 4: a little, and I think it was a fifty yarder.

472
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:09,679
Speaker 4: Did it turn out to be a fifty and it

473
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:14,119
Speaker 4: was there the it was after they came off the field,

474
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:16,640
Speaker 4: and it took the Bills a while to get that done.

475
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 4: And kudos to McDermott for not wasting a time out

476
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 4: right there, even though they ended the game with enough

477
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 4: of them. You don't want to do the arder it

478
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:26,639
Speaker 4: it turned into a fifty yarder.

479
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 3: It was a huge kick, and it seemed to be

480
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 3: confused as to whether or not the play clock should

481
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 3: have been reset. The offense felt like it should have

482
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 3: been and it wasn't, and then all of a sudden

483
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,400
Speaker 3: they're getting up to the line. There's four seconds.

484
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 4: Also, if you remember Cam Little had the big leg,

485
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 4: they tried the one at halftime and he pulled his left,

486
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,679
Speaker 4: So the Bills hit theirs, they missed theirs. It's a

487
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:56,400
Speaker 4: three point game at the end, and it all adds up,

488
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 4: and you're right, you need a guy because that led

489
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:05,879
Speaker 4: directly led to the loss they took to the Philadelphia Eagles.

490
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:08,240
Speaker 4: You know, they lost that game because they missed an

491
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:11,120
Speaker 4: extra point and then they had to go for two

492
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:13,359
Speaker 4: to win it instead of just kicking the extra point

493
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:15,879
Speaker 4: to win it. So there you go.

494
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 3: Yah, gotta take a break here, but more of your

495
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:21,880
Speaker 3: phone calls when we get back. On a Tuesday edition

496
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 3: of One Bill's Live, presented by Kalida Health, It's Buffalo

497
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 3: Bills Radio. All right back here on One Bill's Live

498
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 3: and time out to welcome in former Bills center and

499
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 3: host of the Monday Mornings with Mitch podcast one, Mitch

500
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:56,360
Speaker 3: Morris and his appearances from the armchair are presented by

501
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 3: Raymore and Flanning.

502
00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:57,680
Speaker 7: It.

503
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 3: Raymore and Flannagan is a proud partner of the Buffalo Bills.

504
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 3: So we begin here, Mitch with a receiving corps that's

505
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:10,160
Speaker 3: a little beat up. As you know. Gabe Davis unfortunately

506
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 3: done for the season with the torn acl Tyrrel Shavers

507
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:17,920
Speaker 3: fortunately was able to come back in the game last

508
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,919
Speaker 3: week after suffering a knee injury himself in the first half,

509
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 3: and thank god he did, because I don't know if

510
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:30,200
Speaker 3: people fully grasp how many different parts of a football

511
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 3: game Tyrrel Shavers touches.

512
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:36,480
Speaker 8: Without a doubt, Chris, you look at the first quarter

513
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 8: of the game, you isolate that you have a guy

514
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 8: almost blocking a punt that first third down when they're

515
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 8: backed up, they have that huge reception and just his

516
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 8: ability to go in and dig out linebackers and bigger

517
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 8: people in the run game. You look at the stat line,

518
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 8: one reception for fourteen yards doesn't jump off the page. Well,

519
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 8: what does is his resiliency in the way he plays

520
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 8: and what he embodied and Sean McDermott's team. It's the

521
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 8: playoff caliber mentality, which can be a little cringey at

522
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 8: times for folks who have been around it and you

523
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 8: kind of blow it off, but it's the truth. And listen,

524
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 8: this is a team that everyone's told them and everyone

525
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 8: surrounding it that there's only one superstar and Josh doesn't

526
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 8: have superstars around him. Well, I'll tell you what, I'd

527
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 8: rather have a bunch of Tyrol Shavers on my team

528
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 8: than one or two superstars because of the way he practices,

529
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 8: the way he plays, and a guy who, yeah, he

530
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 8: did get banged up, but he rose to the occasion,

531
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 8: shook it off and came back in and made huge

532
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 8: implications in this game.

533
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 4: There's no question Sean McDermott has had these I've saved

534
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 4: like shavers guys around like this because he and he

535
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 4: rewards him with a roster spot with you know, look

536
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 4: think back of Bob Foster back in the day, right,

537
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 4: there are guys who have overcome so much and who

538
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 4: when they arrive they're not NFL players, but when they leave,

539
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 4: they are guys. Man, I wish he wasn't leaving. What

540
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 4: a guy, right, So that's mcder has guys like that

541
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 4: around kind of as examples of how maybe guys who

542
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 4: were more gifted should.

543
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 8: Act without a doubt. I mean, I think of guys

544
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 8: like him, Sam Franklin Junior number twenty eight, Like you

545
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 8: just see statistics, I don't go too much by the

546
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 8: eye test is what I see and what it does

547
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 8: for it's a rallying cry for everyone on the field.

548
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 8: You need those kind of guys. Those are the kind

549
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 8: of guys that fill you up. Those are the kind

550
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 8: of guys that how they attack play after play after

551
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 8: play until the game is ended fuels the cup for

552
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 8: the rest of the guys. Yes, you need those dudes

553
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 8: around to do the dirty work, to show and lead

554
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 8: by example, even if it's those guys who are quote

555
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 8: unquote on the bubble earlier in the career. Reward them

556
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 8: and when you do that, that just sets an example

557
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 8: for the rest of the team.

558
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 3: Depth has stepped up when necessary thus far in the playoffs.

559
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 3: It's gonna have to step up again on the defensive

560
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 3: side of the ball as it's not anticipated that Jordan

561
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 3: Poyer is going to be ready to suit up on

562
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 3: a short week with this game coming around on Saturday.

563
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:11,240
Speaker 3: You I believe, were teammates with Darnell Savage in Jacksonville

564
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 3: last season, So knowing that Bills fans don't know much

565
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 3: about him, if there's any light you can shed on

566
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 3: him as a player and as a safety, please do

567
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 3: and then the Cavalry might be coming right on time

568
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:29,720
Speaker 3: here as the practice window has been opened for Ed Oliver,

569
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 3: knowing you went against him in practice on a daily basis,

570
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 3: what kind of impact could he provide even coming off

571
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 3: a three month layoff.

572
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 8: Speaking on Darnell's savage, I don't know much about it.

573
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 8: I can't critique much about defensive back play. But what

574
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 8: I can tell you is the kind of teammate he is,

575
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 8: which is ever present, trying to be the best version

576
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 8: of themselves and one that prides himself and rise and

577
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:58,720
Speaker 8: see the occasion. So we're hoping to see that come Saturday.

578
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 8: Who you run into this whatever you call injury bug,

579
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 8: Every team faces it, Every team kind of goes through

580
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 8: it in different circumstances. Well, we lost a guy early

581
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 8: in the career that was playing at the highest level

582
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 8: of his career, or this season that we lost early

583
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 8: in the season that's playing at the height of his career,

584
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 8: which is at Oliver arguably one of the best defensive

585
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 8: players I know. He only played three games in the

586
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 8: NFL early on. You're required to play young guys early

587
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 8: in the season and throughout the season. What they've done

588
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 8: is they've banked up reps. It might have made it

589
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 8: uncomfortable at the time, but now you have battle tested

590
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 8: young dudes and guys who have had their name called

591
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 8: over and over again working in your arsenal. You saw

592
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 8: this past Sunday. These guys played well and they had

593
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 8: this energy about them which was infectious. And if you

594
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 8: get a guy like at Oliver back, it's undeniable the

595
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 8: fact that will also charge up the energy on that defense,

596
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:56,480
Speaker 8: have another rotation, but you won't have to solely rely

597
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 8: on the guy, especially when he's trying to get his

598
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 8: legs back. You have guys behind him, but there he

599
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 8: is a difference maker. There's without a doubt, And tell

600
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 8: me he isn't ready to go out there and prove

601
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 8: people that he is the key that this defense has

602
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 8: been missing. He's he's a special breed if competitor, he's

603
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 8: a special athlete, and he's putting it all together. He

604
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 8: was at the ginning of the season. It was terrible

605
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 8: to see him go down. But now you have the

606
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 8: opportunity to bring him back in the biggest moments, in

607
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 8: the biggest stage. Listen, he might not completely take over

608
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 8: the game or change the game every drive, but he's

609
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 8: going to make an impact and it's going to be

610
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 8: fun to see.

611
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 4: And one of the things about this coach, this matchup

612
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 4: in Denver this week, and you got two pretty veterans.

613
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 4: Now Sean McDermott has to be considered a veteran head

614
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 4: coach pushing eight years in the league, going against Sean Payton,

615
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 4: who's a Super Bowl winning coach who has now turned

616
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 4: the franchise two franchises around the New Orleans Saints of course,

617
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 4: and now the Denver Broncos. We talk about these two

618
00:33:53,160 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 4: head coaches. One's offensive, one's defensive. One is Sean Payton's

619
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:05,560
Speaker 4: got brash attitude. He is never backed down from anything.

620
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 4: And Sean McDermott is this guy who's this full of

621
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:11,840
Speaker 4: grace and you know, he's got the culture thing working,

622
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 4: the whole thing. They're they're a little bit different.

623
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 8: Yeah, they are. And I would say coach McDermott's little

624
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:21,439
Speaker 8: more brash than he lets on, which is he's got

625
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:23,920
Speaker 8: that feisty mentality, which is what you love as a player.

626
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 8: He can put on different hats and wear them at

627
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:26,920
Speaker 8: the proper times.

628
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:27,839
Speaker 3: Yeah.

629
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:31,920
Speaker 8: You have two battle tested guys in the in the playoffs, right,

630
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 8: So I wouldn't put it too much into what's going

631
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 8: to happen in the game. I can't speak on that

632
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 8: in regards to how you attack certain things, what kind

633
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:42,319
Speaker 8: of game plan adjustments need to be made. The one

634
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 8: thing I will say is that having a first round

635
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:49,399
Speaker 8: by always isn't benefit in regards to having your team play. Yes,

636
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:51,359
Speaker 8: it does help get guys healthy, it helps the home

637
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:54,239
Speaker 8: field advantage. But I've had two first round byes in

638
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 8: the NFL and with two very different experiences. One we

639
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 8: got throttled, the other one we came out, and it's

640
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 8: all how the coaches took over and how they coached

641
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:05,319
Speaker 8: us and all that stuff. And then you have the

642
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:07,799
Speaker 8: Bills who are coming off of a short week on

643
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:10,360
Speaker 8: the road again kind of rolling with this momentum of

644
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:13,400
Speaker 8: putting a game together on the road. So it'll be

645
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 8: about how they manage both of their teams and their

646
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:18,799
Speaker 8: different respective states. And then we'll let the Chips fault

647
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:20,879
Speaker 8: or that they may. I thought Coach mcdermot's coming off

648
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 8: of a game where he coached about as flawless of

649
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 8: a game as you can be. I know people are

650
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:27,359
Speaker 8: going to kind of nitpick about stuff, if she should

651
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:28,920
Speaker 8: have kneled it or not. That's not for us to

652
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:32,880
Speaker 8: say they won the game. It'll be a battle against

653
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:37,760
Speaker 8: two juggernaut NFL teams and with two very veteran poised coaches.

654
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:38,879
Speaker 8: When the guns are.

655
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 3: A blazing yeah. And one one of the strength on

656
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 3: strength matchups that really hasn't been covered yet is in

657
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 3: the red zone. I mean, Denver's red zone defense is

658
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:52,160
Speaker 3: number one in the league. Bills have been a top

659
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 3: five red zone offense all season long, in that tight

660
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 3: area down there where you know the defense doesn't have

661
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:03,839
Speaker 3: as much ground to cover and everything gets condensed. I'm

662
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 3: probably not telling you anything you don't know, Mitch, but

663
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:09,319
Speaker 3: being able to run down there is kind of a

664
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:12,760
Speaker 3: big deal when you're going against a defense the caliber

665
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 3: of the Broncos.

666
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 8: Right, absolutely, Yeah, I mean, Steve, you know this one

667
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:21,360
Speaker 8: of the biggest coaching points for an offense and a

668
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:23,799
Speaker 8: defense in the red zone in the passing game, as

669
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:27,440
Speaker 8: everything happens quicker directly to the quarterback. And that's kind

670
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:30,160
Speaker 8: of how this defensive feasted sixty eight sacks a bunch

671
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 8: of guys who are creeping up on ten sacks you have,

672
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:35,719
Speaker 8: Nick Bonito. Yeah, I mean, this is a team the

673
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:38,960
Speaker 8: Bills at being I'm sure are fairly disappointed in how

674
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 8: they ran the ball, But that being said, that doesn't

675
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 8: define how the next week's going to go about. You

676
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:46,880
Speaker 8: need points in the red zone, especially against a team

677
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:52,440
Speaker 8: with bo Nix who can get hot, you need seven points.

678
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:56,240
Speaker 8: The fact that I and a lot of folks were

679
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:58,360
Speaker 8: doubting Matt Prater last week is a little bit of

680
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:01,160
Speaker 8: a folly. I thought he played admia and of course

681
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:03,640
Speaker 8: you have three points. But this is going to be

682
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:06,200
Speaker 8: a seven point affair. You need down there, and it's

683
00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:08,759
Speaker 8: going to make this game so intense. It's going to

684
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 8: be an awesome, awesome and I know it's Playoffootballs're going

685
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:14,280
Speaker 8: to say this every single week. It's a beautiful atmosphere

686
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 8: to watch football game, but it really is. On a

687
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:20,359
Speaker 8: quick turnaround four thirty Eastern times. What is that two

688
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:22,480
Speaker 8: or one thirty? It's two thirty.

689
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:23,800
Speaker 4: Two Mountain Western.

690
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:26,520
Speaker 8: Yeah, what an experience, ma'am.

691
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 9: Hi.

692
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:29,000
Speaker 8: I'm sure it'll be sunny, because it always is. It's

693
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 8: just going to be a great game for me.

694
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 3: Will Mitch, thanks for the time, as always, We appreciate it,

00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:37,240

00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:39,239
Speaker 8: Yeah, boys, I appreciate you.

698
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:41,640

708
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 3: you're most encouraged about the Bills heading into the divisional

709
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 3: round of the playoffs eight three h five point fifty

710
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:19,319
Speaker 3: or your phone calls next here on One Bill's Live.

711
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:26,040
Speaker 3: All right, welcome back to One Bill's Live. Chris Brown,

712
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 3: Steve Tasker with you, and it's time for game day

713
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:33,440
Speaker 3: mentality presented by Best Self, Best Self Behavioral Health official

714
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:37,560
Speaker 3: mental health partner of the Buffalo Bills. And this is

715
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:40,919
Speaker 3: an opponent that the Bills have not seen since last

716
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:45,160
Speaker 3: year's playoff. Steve, And you know, teams change considerably one

717
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:49,440
Speaker 3: year to the next. So even though you have film

718
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:52,399
Speaker 3: and a playoff experience against them just one year ago,

719
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:55,960
Speaker 3: granted on home field, is there any value in looking

720
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:57,239
Speaker 3: back at that at all?

721
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:01,960
Speaker 4: Yeah? And I think, yes, there is. You're certainly gonna

722
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 4: look back at it. And that game was in Highmark

723
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:07,680
Speaker 4: Stadium in Buffalo. This one's gonna be in Denver. They're

724
00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:10,120
Speaker 4: gonna have a lot of different players on their roster.

725
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:15,799
Speaker 4: The Bills are as well. But think about what you

726
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 4: can harvest about the mindset of a team and a

727
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:26,280
Speaker 4: coaching staff. Who your offensive line is exactly the same.

728
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:29,399
Speaker 4: They've got a couple of the same Benito was there

729
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 4: last year. They've got a couple of the same. Alac

730
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:36,000
Speaker 4: all Zach Allen. They had some guys there. Some of

731
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:38,799
Speaker 4: their key players are obviously still they're pat certain who's

732
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 4: the defensive player of the year last year still there.

733
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 4: You can gain insight as to what they think about

734
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:49,960
Speaker 4: your team at least a year ago, and you'll know

735
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:52,839
Speaker 4: how you've changed this year. They may or may not

736
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:56,480
Speaker 4: know that, and they'll you know, so you'll you'll get

737
00:39:56,719 --> 00:40:02,880
Speaker 4: an idea as to the way of thinking other teams

738
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:07,960
Speaker 4: will have about your team. It's uh, yeah, you can

739
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 4: get some insight into that. The x'es and o's. Yeah,

740
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:14,360
Speaker 4: some of the same players sure pass rush guys, tack technique,

741
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:16,040
Speaker 4: what they're good at, what they're not good at you'll

742
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:19,560
Speaker 4: get some of that as well. Tactics. This isn't the

743
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 4: first time that Sean Payton has seen this this team.

744
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:26,800
Speaker 4: It might be the first time he's seen them at home.

745
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:30,160
Speaker 4: The Patriots the Saints played here twice, and then of

746
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:33,719
Speaker 4: course the Broncos played here, and I think no, I

747
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:35,560
Speaker 4: think the Bills played them in New Orleans as well

748
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:36,200
Speaker 4: before while.

749
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 3: Peyton was still there twenty twenty one.

750
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:42,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, so thanks, they've played them a number of times.

751
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:45,360
Speaker 4: You still got to watch that film. I mean, what

752
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:48,839
Speaker 4: are you doing? Yeah, so yeah, I think there is

753
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:52,120
Speaker 4: and and and that's the way Denver will feel about

754
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 4: it as well, And they will have been doing work

755
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:58,040
Speaker 4: on both the Bills and Jacksonville in the lead up

756
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:01,440
Speaker 4: to this game before you know. Obviously Buffalo walked out

757
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:03,240
Speaker 4: with a win. Then they can throw the Jacksonville stuff

758
00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:07,760
Speaker 4: away or file it, and we're focused completely on Buffalo.

759
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 4: They've had a while now to go through that.

760
00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:14,239
Speaker 3: So that is game day mentality topic of discussion for

761
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:16,880
Speaker 3: you today. What as you most encouraged about the Bills

762
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:19,640
Speaker 3: heading into the divisional round of the playoffs. A lot

763
00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:21,880
Speaker 3: of people on hold here, so we quickly go to

764
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:22,759
Speaker 3: Butcher on the east side.

765
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:26,399
Speaker 10: What's up butch my brothers from another beautiful mother.

766
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:27,160
Speaker 5: Thank you so much.

767
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:30,080
Speaker 10: I love MSG, I love WGI, so all the fans

768

769
00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:34,000
Speaker 10: and every one of year. I'm gonna get right to

770
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:39,839
Speaker 10: a gentleman. We are in the desper mode now. Other

771
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 10: teams and watched us play this year. We got everything

772
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:46,880
Speaker 10: on tape. Shanleydermot said, all hands on deck, and I

773
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:49,120
Speaker 10: believe that. But now there's one thing that they don't

774
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:51,480
Speaker 10: have on tape that we did last year. They got

775
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:54,160
Speaker 10: us to the AFC Championship, and I believe right now

776
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 10: was more desperate than anything that we use it now

777
00:41:57,920 --> 00:41:59,719
Speaker 10: by it not being on tape now unless they go

778
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:03,279
Speaker 10: back last year that we can be successful with Josh

779
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:05,239
Speaker 10: Allen is kind of banged up, more than banged up

780
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:07,160
Speaker 10: than he was last year we went to Kansas City

781
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:09,359
Speaker 10: for the AFC Championship. But this is it.

782
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:10,080
Speaker 6: I know.

783
00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:13,000
Speaker 10: We in this draft. We drafted a guy named Jackson Halls,

784
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:16,320
Speaker 10: and he's done a one outstanding job in the seventeen

785
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:18,120
Speaker 10: games that we don't play it already. We'll call it

786
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:21,960
Speaker 10: eighteen now. But at the same exact time. If I'm Buffalo,

787
00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:25,000
Speaker 10: especially this week, and I hope someone's over there listening,

788
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:28,520
Speaker 10: I would implement Alec Anderson back at the offensive lineman

789
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:30,799
Speaker 10: like we go six ligneming like we did last year.

790
00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:33,759
Speaker 10: That'll protect Josh Allen a little bit more. And on

791
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:36,319
Speaker 10: that on the defensive pass us like against Houston has

792
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:38,719
Speaker 10: never seen it. New England hasn't seen it this year.

793
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:41,880
Speaker 10: Denver definitely hasn't seen it. It's gonna protect Josh Allen

794
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:44,040
Speaker 10: a little more at the sam exact time. It's gonna

795
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:47,280
Speaker 10: give Josh Allen more time to get the ball off. Secondly,

796
00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:50,200
Speaker 10: that curl route that we used to run when when

797
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:52,239
Speaker 10: the cook comes out the backfield we won on one

798
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:55,080
Speaker 10: with the linebacker going down the sideline and Josh Josh

799
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:56,960
Speaker 10: or throw it down at me before a touchdown or

800
00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:59,560
Speaker 10: a first down. Let's utilize that a little bit more

801
00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:02,520
Speaker 10: and coming up because all players is on the deck

802
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:04,719
Speaker 10: and all schemes is on the deck, and you know,

803
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:06,480
Speaker 10: and I want the Buffalo LII. But back to that

804
00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:10,120
Speaker 10: sixth lineman. If we can do that, if we move

805
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:12,960
Speaker 10: forward out of this game, going into Houston or dit

806
00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:17,120
Speaker 10: or or New England, we can chip off Anderson, Will

807
00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:20,080
Speaker 10: Anderson with with with when you got Anderson, maybe a

808
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:22,759
Speaker 10: Brown teaming up on him. And then when you run

809
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:25,000
Speaker 10: the when you run the push push, you can bring

810
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:27,200
Speaker 10: him in motion. Alex is the most You come right

811
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:29,720
Speaker 10: behind Josh and get it every time. So that's something

812
00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:32,359
Speaker 10: that I want Joe Brady in his offensive staff. Look

813
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:34,319
Speaker 10: at what got us to the FC championship last year.

814
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:37,760
Speaker 10: Congratulation to Jackson Halls. But now this is for the money.

815
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:40,279
Speaker 10: Let's go back and bring Alex Anderson, who's a beast

816
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 10: at three hundred and five pounds instead of two hundred

817
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:44,920
Speaker 10: and fifty three pounds with Hawes. Thank you so much

818
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:46,680
Speaker 10: as you know for taking my car. I love you guys,

819
00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:49,240
Speaker 10: and uh let's go bill all thanks Butch.

820
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:53,160
Speaker 3: Last week they did use Alec Anderson. Yeah, three snaps.

821
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:57,080
Speaker 3: Only three snaps against the number one run defense in football.

822
00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:02,840
Speaker 3: In hindsight, they wished they used him more. Perhaps I

823
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:05,879
Speaker 3: went back and looked last year in the wild card

824
00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:09,760
Speaker 3: game against the Broncos, Alec Anderson. Now this is before

825
00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:13,840
Speaker 3: Jackson Hawes is on the roster. Obviously, last year, twenty

826
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:17,880
Speaker 3: two snaps for Alec Anderson against the Broncos. Last season.

827
00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:22,080
Speaker 3: Does that get repeated against a defense that's number two

828
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:28,560
Speaker 3: against the run? Perhaps? I think we've all said it before.

829
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:34,759
Speaker 3: Jackson Hawes is deemed by this offensive coaching staff to

830
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:38,200
Speaker 3: be the best tight end blocking tight end they have

831
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:41,120
Speaker 3: ever seen. That's Aaron Kromer, who's been in the NFL

832
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:44,279
Speaker 3: for over twenty five years. That's the tight ends coach

833
00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:46,279
Speaker 3: Rob Boris, who's been in the league for just about

834
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:50,480
Speaker 3: as long. That is supremely high praise for not just

835
00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:53,520
Speaker 3: any tight end, a rookie tight end. So they think

836
00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:57,440
Speaker 3: very highly of him. But if they think they need

837
00:44:57,440 --> 00:44:59,759
Speaker 3: a little more girth in there, yeah, I wouldn't rule

838
00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:03,600
Speaker 3: out them turning to him, especially after seeing Alec Anderson

839
00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:06,359
Speaker 3: last week for three snaps. Maybe it's more this week.

840
00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:11,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's interesting that you know the answer is maybe

841
00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:14,239
Speaker 4: just to get bigger, and why not leave Hawes on

842
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:16,840
Speaker 4: the field with Alec Anderson third team. Do that and

843
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:22,320
Speaker 4: you can start pushing guys around. Yeah. They It's interesting

844
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:25,080
Speaker 4: that you point out that Anderson had all those snaps

845
00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:28,960
Speaker 4: against Denver last year. Denver is the number two rushing

846
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:33,000
Speaker 4: team in the rushing defense in the league, and not

847
00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:36,879
Speaker 4: by much. They're almost number one. They're right there with Jacksonville,

848
00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:39,440
Speaker 4: and it was hard to run the football against Jacksonville.

849
00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:41,879
Speaker 4: Granted it's two different teams, but.

850
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:45,600
Speaker 3: They haven't been as good down the stretch Denver against

851
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:48,520
Speaker 3: the run. But I think they're still right at the

852
00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:49,000
Speaker 3: top there.

853
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:51,759
Speaker 4: You don't want to you don't want to beat your

854
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:54,239
Speaker 4: head against the wall, but you do want to make

855
00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:58,479
Speaker 4: them play. So yeah, that's you can bet all that's

856
00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:02,080
Speaker 4: on the table. And the coaching staff what they'll typically

857
00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:03,960
Speaker 4: the way this works is they watch them on film,

858
00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:06,360
Speaker 4: they look at the analytics, they watch them on film,

859
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:08,400
Speaker 4: and they try to get to the bottom of why

860
00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:11,560
Speaker 4: the analytics, why the statistics and like the rankings, all

861
00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:14,239
Speaker 4: that and plus deeper statistics in that, Why are the

862
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:17,120
Speaker 4: statistics the way they are? What are they doing that

863
00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:19,680
Speaker 4: nobody else does? Or why are they so good at

864
00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:22,439
Speaker 4: this when everybody else stinks at it? Is there something

865
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:25,040
Speaker 4: underlying that is the fact that they haven't faced that

866
00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:29,120
Speaker 4: many rushing attempts? Maybe, but that's the kind of thing

867
00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:31,960
Speaker 4: they do, is it? Because these two guys down inside

868
00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:34,680
Speaker 4: just they stuff the run game. You can't get around,

869
00:46:34,719 --> 00:46:36,120
Speaker 4: you can't run through them, so you got to run

870
00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:38,960
Speaker 4: around them. And that gives everybody else an edge everybody

871
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:40,680
Speaker 4: else on the defense and edge all that stuff. They

872
00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:43,759
Speaker 4: get to the why why do the analytics? Why do

873
00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:47,400
Speaker 4: the statistics say what they say about that defense? And

874
00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:49,000
Speaker 4: that's where you begin your game planning.

875
00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:53,120
Speaker 3: Now, let's go to Bobby in Buffalo next. What's up, Bobby?

876
00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:57,120
Speaker 11: Hey, Chris, I Steve, how you guys doing doing good? Good? Good?

877
00:46:57,120 --> 00:46:57,319
Speaker 3: Good?

878
00:46:57,600 --> 00:47:02,480
Speaker 11: Listen on what has me most ofcouraged about the Bills

879
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:06,640
Speaker 11: heading into the Division A round is basically, if they

880
00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:10,320
Speaker 11: keep continuing to do what they do, you know, playing

881
00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:15,719
Speaker 11: all three phases, you know, offense, defense, special teams, you know.

882
00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:18,359
Speaker 11: And I think that's going to be the key of it,

883
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:21,960
Speaker 11: is that they're continuing keep continuing to play in all

884
00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:26,279
Speaker 11: three phases. Okay, and that's number one and also number two,

885
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:31,000
Speaker 11: you know. And also Josh Allen keeps continuing to play

886
00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:36,200
Speaker 11: like the MVP that he is, because in that game

887
00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 11: against Jacksonville, he really did Josh Allen really did. He

888
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:47,200
Speaker 11: really did bring the definition of the most valuable player

889
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:53,759
Speaker 11: with that because I was laughing at that because I

890
00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:57,600
Speaker 11: have never ever in my life seen an offensive line

891
00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:02,240
Speaker 11: carry their quarterback. I mean, I mean, they picked Josh

892
00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:05,719
Speaker 11: they picked Josh up and curried him like he was

893
00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:08,800
Speaker 11: a newborn baby. I mean I was looking at I was,

894
00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:11,200
Speaker 11: I was looking at this game. I'm like, man, is

895
00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:14,040
Speaker 11: Josh Allen? Like, is Josh Allen the newborn baby? Or

896
00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:17,440
Speaker 11: is he the MVP of the NFL? What is he?

897
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:19,719
Speaker 11: I mean, they was picking him up like he was

898
00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:23,360
Speaker 11: a baby. But anyway back to that, I got I

899
00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:28,800
Speaker 11: got a question for you guys too, now, Chris Steve,

900
00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:33,160
Speaker 11: could it be possible? Could it be possible if we

901
00:48:33,239 --> 00:48:39,920
Speaker 11: are looking at possibly a third date between Buffalo in

902
00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:44,880
Speaker 11: New England, but this time for the AFC Championship. Okay,

903
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:48,440
Speaker 11: I'll hang up and let you guys answer. God bless much.

904
00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:53,279
Speaker 3: Love, Thanks Bobby. Yeah, you're projecting a little bit. You

905
00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:56,640
Speaker 3: think the Patriots are going to beat the Texans. I'm not.

906
00:48:56,800 --> 00:48:58,959
Speaker 3: I don't know if I'm ready to go there. After

907
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:02,000
Speaker 3: watching that defense again last night. They make quarterbacks look

908
00:49:02,120 --> 00:49:05,960
Speaker 3: horrible and it doesn't matter if you're Josh Allen, Aaron Rodgers,

909
00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:11,400
Speaker 3: or Joe Namath. That Houston Dexon's defense is for real

910
00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:14,520
Speaker 3: and it travels because they were on the road last night.

911
00:49:15,440 --> 00:49:19,320
Speaker 3: And look, I don't think Pittsburgh is they were probably

912
00:49:19,480 --> 00:49:22,400
Speaker 3: the worst playoff team of the bunch if you ask me,

913
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:28,640
Speaker 3: Houston's gonna make it look very difficult for that New

914
00:49:28,640 --> 00:49:31,440
Speaker 3: England team. Yeah, so I'm not ready to just pass

915
00:49:31,520 --> 00:49:33,319
Speaker 3: judgment and say it's going to be Patriots in the

916
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:35,440
Speaker 3: AFC title game. I think Houston's gonna give him a

917
00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:36,040
Speaker 3: run for their money.

918
00:49:36,120 --> 00:49:39,719
Speaker 4: Patriots are tough in their building. But yeah, yeah, that's

919
00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:42,279
Speaker 4: a possibility. It's on the table. It could be could

920
00:49:42,320 --> 00:49:45,280
Speaker 4: be Houston against Denver, could be New England against Denver,

921
00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:47,840
Speaker 4: could be it could be any of the four teams

922
00:49:47,880 --> 00:49:49,879
Speaker 4: against any of the other three. Yeah, that are left

923
00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:51,800
Speaker 4: on their schedule. You know that the other two games.

924
00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:53,360
Speaker 4: So yeah, we'll see.

925
00:49:53,880 --> 00:49:57,040
Speaker 3: Got a third divisional matchup on the other side of

926
00:49:57,040 --> 00:49:59,960
Speaker 3: the divisional playoffs with the Seahawks playing the forty nine,

927
00:50:00,680 --> 00:50:03,760
Speaker 3: So teams that know each other really well. That usually

928
00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:07,719
Speaker 3: winds up being a knockdown, drag out that's determined by

929
00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:09,759
Speaker 3: inches in many cases. Got to take a break when

930
00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:12,239
Speaker 3: we come back. Our number two begins with our good

931
00:50:12,239 --> 00:50:15,200
Speaker 3: friend Dani Orlowski, ESPN NFL analyst. We'll catch up with

932
00:50:15,280 --> 00:50:17,359
Speaker 3: him and get some x's and o's about the game

933
00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:21,080
Speaker 3: that was and the Bills Broncos matchup coming up that's

934
00:50:21,120 --> 00:50:22,160
Speaker 3: next year. On One Bill's Live.

935
00:50:22,239 --> 00:51:03,960
Speaker 2: Stay with us These One Bills Live presented by Calllida

936
00:51:04,040 --> 00:51:05,920
Speaker 2: Help all right?

937
00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:08,239
Speaker 3: Here we are hour number two on a Tuesday. Chris Brown,

938
00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:11,160
Speaker 3: Steve Tasker with you and joined now by ESPN NFL

939
00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:14,000
Speaker 3: analyst dan Orlofsky, whose appearances on One Bills Live are

940
00:51:14,040 --> 00:51:17,440
Speaker 3: presented by Caesar's Sportsbook, an official mobile sports betting partner

941
00:51:17,840 --> 00:51:20,839
Speaker 3: of the Buffalo Bills. And Dan, I want to give

942
00:51:20,840 --> 00:51:25,200
Speaker 3: you an opportunity to amplify a message that you tweeted

943
00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:30,200
Speaker 3: out about the Bills earlier today on X talking about

944
00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:34,400
Speaker 3: the team's culture. And I think a lot of fans

945
00:51:34,680 --> 00:51:40,799
Speaker 3: sometimes have problems in identifying exactly what that is or

946
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:44,560
Speaker 3: what that looks like. And I thought you provided a

947
00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:49,480
Speaker 3: couple of good examples from the Bills Jaguars Wild Card game,

948
00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:52,120
Speaker 3: one of which was I think it was a third

949
00:51:52,160 --> 00:51:56,960
Speaker 3: and twelve with Daikwon Jones, a defensive tackle running fifteen

950
00:51:57,040 --> 00:51:59,400
Speaker 3: yards down field to make a tackle on a scrambling

951
00:51:59,400 --> 00:52:05,239
Speaker 3: Trevor Lawrence. It's why did that resonate with you enough

952
00:52:05,239 --> 00:52:05,799
Speaker 3: to post it?

953
00:52:07,600 --> 00:52:10,239
Speaker 9: Because you never know what play is going to be

954
00:52:10,280 --> 00:52:13,480
Speaker 9: the game winning, game saving play. And I think a

955
00:52:13,520 --> 00:52:17,799
Speaker 9: lot of us who cover the game and also like

956
00:52:18,239 --> 00:52:23,040
Speaker 9: X players, we get often consumed by the end of

957
00:52:23,200 --> 00:52:26,799
Speaker 9: games and because those plays are huge, right, they're obviously

958
00:52:26,920 --> 00:52:32,440
Speaker 9: huge plays, but under the concept of it's a sixty

959
00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:36,120
Speaker 9: minute game, and these games in specific, the playoff games

960
00:52:36,719 --> 00:52:40,239
Speaker 9: come down to two or three four plays, we just

961
00:52:40,320 --> 00:52:44,400
Speaker 9: don't know when those plays actually happen. And so you know,

962
00:52:44,440 --> 00:52:47,719
Speaker 9: when you watch the game play itself out and it

963
00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:50,480
Speaker 9: becomes this three point game, and you sit there and

964
00:52:51,160 --> 00:52:55,720
Speaker 9: as an X player, you're I'm so used to watching

965
00:52:55,840 --> 00:52:58,239
Speaker 9: tape and just sitting there going, dude, look, just think

966
00:52:58,239 --> 00:53:01,239
Speaker 9: about how big that play was, how big that play was,

967
00:53:01,360 --> 00:53:05,680
Speaker 9: and you know these pivotal kind of line of demarcation moments,

968
00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:09,280
Speaker 9: and Daikwan runs, like to your point, Chris, fifteen twenty yards,

969
00:53:09,600 --> 00:53:13,400
Speaker 9: it's third and twelve. He meets the safety Cole Bishop,

970
00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:17,120
Speaker 9: and all of a sudden, it's fourth and two. Well,

971
00:53:17,239 --> 00:53:21,360
Speaker 9: Jacksonville decides to go for it, and Buffalo makes a stop.

972
00:53:22,040 --> 00:53:25,520
Speaker 9: Those three points. If daik Onon ran at eighty percent,

973
00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:28,600
Speaker 9: does it become fourth and one? And do they get it?

974
00:53:29,160 --> 00:53:33,000
Speaker 9: If he runs at eighty percent. Does it become fourth

975
00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:36,440
Speaker 9: and four or something and Jacksonville kicks it, Or later

976
00:53:36,480 --> 00:53:39,000
Speaker 9: on in the game, when you know they've got strained

977
00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:42,279
Speaker 9: down the sideline and Walker puts his left hand up

978
00:53:42,280 --> 00:53:46,480
Speaker 9: and bats the ball down. Why left hand? Why not

979
00:53:46,600 --> 00:53:49,440
Speaker 9: right hand? Well, left hand because it's a righty quarterback.

980
00:53:49,840 --> 00:53:51,960
Speaker 9: Do you think that's the one play in that game

981
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:54,239
Speaker 9: that the defensive lineman puts his hands up when the

982
00:53:54,280 --> 00:53:57,760
Speaker 9: quarterback's thrown downfield. You just don't. And if he doesn't

983
00:53:57,840 --> 00:54:00,759
Speaker 9: do it, it's a completion that at least is going to

984
00:54:00,840 --> 00:54:04,600
Speaker 9: give Jacksonville three points. Or when Cole falls off in

985
00:54:04,719 --> 00:54:07,680
Speaker 9: coverage on the checkdown to ETN and all of a

986
00:54:07,719 --> 00:54:10,640
Speaker 9: sudden he makes a tackle and everyone's like, oh, it's

987
00:54:10,680 --> 00:54:14,000
Speaker 9: a tackle, that's a that's a touchdown saving tackle, right,

988
00:54:14,280 --> 00:54:16,960
Speaker 9: And that's also three or four minutes on the clock

989
00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:21,120
Speaker 9: saving tackle. And so I just think, you know, we

990
00:54:21,160 --> 00:54:25,200
Speaker 9: throw around this world world word culture, and we we

991
00:54:25,719 --> 00:54:33,240
Speaker 9: use it to magnify certain situations, and it's not accurate,

992
00:54:33,320 --> 00:54:37,520
Speaker 9: and then we use we we discredit it at times

993
00:54:37,560 --> 00:54:40,360
Speaker 9: when you know the wind doesn't come your way and

994
00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:43,600
Speaker 9: it's like that that's a culture Those are culture plays.

995
00:54:43,719 --> 00:54:47,640
Speaker 9: Those are habit plays. Those are practice after practice after

996
00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:52,000
Speaker 9: practice of coaches demanding stuff that win you football games.

997
00:54:52,040 --> 00:54:55,960
Speaker 9: And I just think, like sometimes it's not x's and o's,

998
00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:58,960
Speaker 9: but it's it's an effort thing, and it's a habit thing.

999
00:54:59,360 --> 00:55:02,200
Speaker 4: And we at the time of year now, certainly the

1000
00:55:02,200 --> 00:55:06,200
Speaker 4: Bills and the Broncos, New England and Houston, they're all

1001
00:55:06,239 --> 00:55:08,360
Speaker 4: getting ready for these divisional rounds. The same thing in

1002
00:55:08,400 --> 00:55:14,680
Speaker 4: the NFC. But as we're in the coaching carousel, we

1003
00:55:14,760 --> 00:55:16,680
Speaker 4: just saw the news that Mike Tomlin stepped down as

1004
00:55:16,680 --> 00:55:20,319
Speaker 4: Pittsburgh steel He stepped down as the Pittsburgh Steelers head coach,

1005
00:55:20,360 --> 00:55:22,279
Speaker 4: and that's his job that in the past he has

1006
00:55:22,360 --> 00:55:25,640
Speaker 4: called one of the most prestigious jobs in all of

1007
00:55:25,719 --> 00:55:28,640
Speaker 4: pro sports, and for those of us in the NFL,

1008
00:55:28,680 --> 00:55:32,160
Speaker 4: he's right, right, I mean, he's that's a franchise. That

1009
00:55:32,320 --> 00:55:35,839
Speaker 4: is I've hired three guys in over fifty years and

1010
00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:37,680
Speaker 4: he's one of them, and he's won a Super Bowl.

1011
00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:41,800
Speaker 4: Stepping down as head coach, What is your thoughts about

1012
00:55:41,280 --> 00:55:44,400
Speaker 4: this cycle and how rare it is to see a

1013
00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:48,920
Speaker 4: guy like Mike Tomlin after nineteen years step away.

1014
00:55:49,600 --> 00:55:53,120
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean one, he's one of the great coaches

1015
00:55:53,160 --> 00:55:55,600
Speaker 9: of all time, right, and so just this immense amount

1016
00:55:55,640 --> 00:55:59,719
Speaker 9: of respect. I was on teams that competed against coach

1017
00:55:59,760 --> 00:56:02,720
Speaker 9: Tom and for a long time. I think the crazy

1018
00:56:02,760 --> 00:56:06,319
Speaker 9: thing about this cycle, Steven, I don't remember one that

1019
00:56:06,880 --> 00:56:14,680
Speaker 9: had this much proven, established coaching candidates and then also

1020
00:56:15,600 --> 00:56:22,640
Speaker 9: proven established blood, blue blood organization with openings. I mean,

1021
00:56:22,680 --> 00:56:26,359
Speaker 9: you're talking about the New York Giants, You're talking about

1022
00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:31,080
Speaker 9: the Baltimore Ravens and the Pittsburgh Steelers. You know, just

1023
00:56:31,160 --> 00:56:35,120
Speaker 9: kind of these blue but blue bloods let alone, you know,

1024
00:56:35,160 --> 00:56:38,800
Speaker 9: a Cleveland Browns that at least have historical elementory raiders.

1025
00:56:38,840 --> 00:56:42,240
Speaker 9: So like these places that are just kind of woven

1026
00:56:42,280 --> 00:56:46,640
Speaker 9: into the fabric of the NFL as available job openings,

1027
00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:49,640
Speaker 9: and you know, God, for who knows what happens in

1028
00:56:49,680 --> 00:56:52,080
Speaker 9: Green Bay with Matt Lafleur, that could be another one.

1029
00:56:52,120 --> 00:56:54,920
Speaker 9: And you have coaches that have just been littered with

1030
00:56:55,120 --> 00:56:57,839
Speaker 9: had you know, Coach of the Year Kevin Stefanski, two

1031
00:56:57,880 --> 00:57:01,520
Speaker 9: time John Harbaugh Super Bowl win, Mike Tomlins super Bowl winner.

1032
00:57:01,600 --> 00:57:05,279
Speaker 9: So it's a I don't remember a coaching cycle like

1033
00:57:05,320 --> 00:57:05,759
Speaker 9: this one.

1034
00:57:06,040 --> 00:57:08,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's nine open jobs now, I mean that's way

1035
00:57:08,920 --> 00:57:11,239
Speaker 3: above average. It's crazy. I mean, it's more than a

1036
00:57:11,320 --> 00:57:16,479
Speaker 3: quarter of the league. It's bizarre. Looking ahead, we saw

1037
00:57:16,520 --> 00:57:21,040
Speaker 3: the Bills run game kind of pivot. They were not

1038
00:57:21,080 --> 00:57:23,080
Speaker 3: getting a lot of traction against the number one run

1039
00:57:23,120 --> 00:57:26,760
Speaker 3: defense of the Jaguars, and we saw Joe Brady pivot

1040
00:57:26,960 --> 00:57:30,000
Speaker 3: and essentially use Khalil Shakir as an extension of the

1041
00:57:30,080 --> 00:57:33,240
Speaker 3: run game with those quick hitters all afternoon and it

1042
00:57:33,320 --> 00:57:36,560
Speaker 3: worked well for them. They stayed on schedule. Do you

1043
00:57:36,800 --> 00:57:39,720
Speaker 3: anticipate And I'm gonna throw this at you too, because

1044
00:57:39,760 --> 00:57:43,240
Speaker 3: we've seen Jackson Hawes kind of replace Alec Anderson, so

1045
00:57:43,320 --> 00:57:46,880
Speaker 3: instead of Jumbo, they've used Jackson more. They really like

1046
00:57:46,960 --> 00:57:50,120
Speaker 3: him as a blocker. And we understand why. I will

1047
00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:53,240
Speaker 3: remind you last year in the wild card game, granted

1048
00:57:53,280 --> 00:57:56,640
Speaker 3: before Jackson Hawes is on this roster, they had Alec

1049
00:57:56,680 --> 00:58:00,640
Speaker 3: Anderson on the field for twenty two snaps against the

1050
00:58:00,680 --> 00:58:03,080
Speaker 3: Broncos last year in the wild card game. They are

1051
00:58:03,120 --> 00:58:06,919
Speaker 3: now facing the number two run defense. Do you anticipate

1052
00:58:06,960 --> 00:58:09,320
Speaker 3: because Alec Anderson only got three snaps last week?

1053
00:58:09,680 --> 00:58:12,720
Speaker 4: Do you anticipate they could go big again?

1054
00:58:13,600 --> 00:58:16,400
Speaker 3: Or do they ride Jackson Hawes or hell, do they

1055
00:58:16,400 --> 00:58:18,920
Speaker 3: go with both of those guys and just go crazy

1056
00:58:19,200 --> 00:58:21,360
Speaker 3: with size and say we're just gonna try to mash you.

1057
00:58:22,560 --> 00:58:26,600
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think it's gonna be interesting. In regards to

1058
00:58:27,040 --> 00:58:31,120
Speaker 9: I'll start the answer with this, Chris, is Tye Johnson available?

1059
00:58:31,560 --> 00:58:35,160
Speaker 9: I think that's a huge, huge part of this game.

1060
00:58:36,320 --> 00:58:38,840
Speaker 9: You guys know that I have talked about for what

1061
00:58:39,080 --> 00:58:45,600
Speaker 9: feels like two months, how important whoever plays Denver, you

1062
00:58:45,760 --> 00:58:49,320
Speaker 9: have to have your tight ends in your backs, be

1063
00:58:49,520 --> 00:58:53,640
Speaker 9: the past catching threats in that game. And ironically here

1064
00:58:53,720 --> 00:58:57,000
Speaker 9: comes Buffalo, who that's the strength of their offense, and

1065
00:58:57,040 --> 00:59:00,840
Speaker 9: so I think it ty Johnson plays, you're going to

1066
00:59:00,880 --> 00:59:03,880
Speaker 9: be in this mix if you're Buffalo, where you kind

1067
00:59:03,880 --> 00:59:10,920
Speaker 9: of want to have this grouping of Kincaid, Knox, Shakir, Johnson,

1068
00:59:11,240 --> 00:59:14,840
Speaker 9: and Cook in whatever combinations you want those guys on

1069
00:59:14,880 --> 00:59:18,280
Speaker 9: the field a ton. I think Jackson Hawes certainly plays

1070
00:59:18,320 --> 00:59:23,600
Speaker 9: his part. I don't know if Anderson does. Because the

1071
00:59:23,640 --> 00:59:25,640
Speaker 9: way you want to attack this football team. Now, does

1072
00:59:25,680 --> 00:59:29,120
Speaker 9: Denver decide to not play as much man because they

1073
00:59:29,200 --> 00:59:32,560
Speaker 9: understand the matchup advantage for Buffalo and play a little

1074
00:59:32,600 --> 00:59:35,680
Speaker 9: bit more zone. If that's the case, then I do

1075
00:59:35,760 --> 00:59:38,120
Speaker 9: think you can see a little bit more of an

1076
00:59:38,120 --> 00:59:40,400
Speaker 9: Anderson on the field and some of their run game stuff,

1077
00:59:40,440 --> 00:59:42,800
Speaker 9: But I think that's going to be that. The chess

1078
00:59:42,840 --> 00:59:46,800
Speaker 9: game is how healthy is Johnson? I know he was

1079
00:59:46,800 --> 00:59:50,480
Speaker 9: in the boot last week? And then does Denver want

1080
00:59:50,520 --> 00:59:53,280
Speaker 9: to play zone or do they want to play man?

1081
00:59:54,080 --> 00:59:54,400
Speaker 3: Okay?

1082
00:59:54,760 --> 00:59:57,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it will be interesting to see the chess

1083
00:59:57,480 --> 00:59:59,400
Speaker 4: match take play. These two coaches have met each other

1084
00:59:59,440 --> 01:00:02,360
Speaker 4: a number of time times. One's an defensive head coach,

1085
01:00:02,440 --> 01:00:06,800
Speaker 4: the others an offensive head coach. This is a Denver team, though,

1086
01:00:06,840 --> 01:00:10,320
Speaker 4: that has stacked up a ton of wins. I think

1087
01:00:10,520 --> 01:00:14,320
Speaker 4: was a thirteen or the last fourteen games, and the

1088
01:00:14,360 --> 01:00:17,080
Speaker 4: only team to beat them was Jacksonville when bow Knicks

1089
01:00:17,080 --> 01:00:20,360
Speaker 4: turned it over. They're in Denver three weeks ago, so

1090
01:00:21,160 --> 01:00:23,320
Speaker 4: this game talk a little bit about how you think

1091
01:00:23,360 --> 01:00:26,280
Speaker 4: this game could go. Certainly, Josh took a pounding last week,

1092
01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:30,600
Speaker 4: but man oh man, he proved why he's the best

1093
01:00:30,640 --> 01:00:33,720
Speaker 4: guy in the tournament. Is there enough around Buffalo to

1094
01:00:34,040 --> 01:00:36,320
Speaker 4: support him in that? And how does bo Knicks fit

1095
01:00:36,360 --> 01:00:37,400
Speaker 4: into that in their offense?

1096
01:00:38,240 --> 01:00:42,440
Speaker 9: Yeah? So again, Steve, I think matchup wise, if Buffalo's

1097
01:00:42,560 --> 01:00:46,080
Speaker 9: good enough with some of their tight ends and backs offensively,

1098
01:00:46,120 --> 01:00:49,920
Speaker 9: health wise. I think they can have success. I really do. Offensively,

1099
01:00:49,960 --> 01:00:52,480
Speaker 9: I think the offensive line matches up well, and I

1100
01:00:52,480 --> 01:00:56,040
Speaker 9: think they have can have success. This is who Denver is,

1101
01:00:56,080 --> 01:00:59,280
Speaker 9: so everybody kind of Buffalo fan perspective wise, it's a

1102
01:00:59,400 --> 01:01:02,640
Speaker 9: very good deal. They put five defensive linemen across the field.

1103
01:01:03,080 --> 01:01:08,120
Speaker 9: They're all fantastic Pro Bowl All Pro caliber players. Linebackers,

1104
01:01:08,400 --> 01:01:13,880
Speaker 9: really good players, active secondary, fantastic. Sir Tan is outstanding,

1105
01:01:13,960 --> 01:01:16,240
Speaker 9: Roley Moss is actually a pretty good player. He gets

1106
01:01:16,280 --> 01:01:21,840
Speaker 9: targeted a ton. Nickels a good player. Whufonga is very

1107
01:01:21,840 --> 01:01:24,440
Speaker 9: physical when it comes to the safety spot. So they

1108
01:01:24,440 --> 01:01:27,400
Speaker 9: want to play man coverage. Let those five pass rushers hunt.

1109
01:01:27,440 --> 01:01:30,360
Speaker 9: Sir Tan plays by himself. Teams that play well they

1110
01:01:30,360 --> 01:01:32,440
Speaker 9: attack with tight ends and backs. I'll flip it, Okay,

1111
01:01:32,480 --> 01:01:37,360
Speaker 9: this is who Denver is offensively. Left tackle, very good player.

1112
01:01:37,400 --> 01:01:39,800
Speaker 9: Garrett Bowle is one of the best left tackles in football.

1113
01:01:40,200 --> 01:01:44,560
Speaker 9: They're an offense that they're not extremely dynamic running the football.

1114
01:01:45,520 --> 01:01:48,640
Speaker 9: Both backs are a little bit more shiftier backs rather

1115
01:01:48,680 --> 01:01:51,959
Speaker 9: than in between the tackle backs. Harby's kind of become

1116
01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:53,960
Speaker 9: a little bit of the go to back. But they're good,

1117
01:01:54,640 --> 01:01:59,560
Speaker 9: good tight ends. They Suton is a one on one

1118
01:01:59,600 --> 01:02:01,560
Speaker 9: They want to throwing the one on one ball down

1119
01:02:01,600 --> 01:02:04,280
Speaker 9: the field. Mims is a let's get the ball in

1120
01:02:04,320 --> 01:02:07,760
Speaker 9: his hands type of player. They've got Franklin who's a

1121
01:02:07,840 --> 01:02:10,800
Speaker 9: there's like number two option. Another big body receiver. They

1122
01:02:10,840 --> 01:02:15,720
Speaker 9: got big body receiver Steve. There's been inconsistency in their

1123
01:02:15,760 --> 01:02:20,160
Speaker 9: offensive performance, and it's a tie to bow Knicks. Bo

1124
01:02:20,280 --> 01:02:24,600
Speaker 9: has been inconsistent throughout the season and very much show

1125
01:02:24,600 --> 01:02:27,360
Speaker 9: in the first three quarters of football games. He's been

1126
01:02:27,360 --> 01:02:30,840
Speaker 9: inconsistent with his accuracy. He's been inconsistent with his feet.

1127
01:02:31,160 --> 01:02:34,680
Speaker 9: He's been very frantic in the pocket. A lot of times.

1128
01:02:34,720 --> 01:02:38,120
Speaker 9: It happens when you change the coverage against him. Show

1129
01:02:38,160 --> 01:02:41,120
Speaker 9: one throw another fire zone after fire ors in after

1130
01:02:41,160 --> 01:02:45,680
Speaker 9: fire zone. If I'm being honest, that's advantage Buffalo. That's

1131
01:02:45,760 --> 01:02:49,280
Speaker 9: kind of what they become on defense. Okay, so there's

1132
01:02:49,400 --> 01:02:53,400
Speaker 9: another advantage. I think the thing that two things that

1133
01:02:53,400 --> 01:02:56,240
Speaker 9: will matter a ton is this team loves to spit

1134
01:02:56,320 --> 01:02:58,760
Speaker 9: the ball to the perimeter. They as an offense, they

1135
01:02:58,840 --> 01:03:01,000
Speaker 9: love to spit it to the PREMI are in different ways.

1136
01:03:01,360 --> 01:03:04,760
Speaker 9: Four by one, four by one, four by one. Buffalo

1137
01:03:04,800 --> 01:03:06,280
Speaker 9: is going to have to play very good on the

1138
01:03:06,320 --> 01:03:12,040
Speaker 9: perimeter defense, both from leverage, angle, physicality, and the second

1139
01:03:12,080 --> 01:03:15,880
Speaker 9: thing is you can't let this young man have the

1140
01:03:15,880 --> 01:03:18,880
Speaker 9: ball with the chance to win it. He's the number

1141
01:03:18,880 --> 01:03:20,920
Speaker 9: one quarterback in the NFL in the fourth quarter of

1142
01:03:20,960 --> 01:03:24,600
Speaker 9: this year when losing both in touchdown into interception and

1143
01:03:24,640 --> 01:03:28,240
Speaker 9: by QBR. One of the reasons he plays his best

1144
01:03:28,280 --> 01:03:31,280
Speaker 9: football when he's in this frantic state or when he's

1145
01:03:31,320 --> 01:03:36,520
Speaker 9: in this sped up, no huddle tempo state. He's big

1146
01:03:36,560 --> 01:03:39,280
Speaker 9: time athletic. He runs, he makes plays with his legs.

1147
01:03:39,320 --> 01:03:42,360
Speaker 9: So this should be a good matchup. I would imagine

1148
01:03:42,920 --> 01:03:45,840
Speaker 9: the ending is very similar to last week. One team's

1149
01:03:45,840 --> 01:03:48,240
Speaker 9: got the ball, the other team's got to make a play,

1150
01:03:49,400 --> 01:03:53,520
Speaker 9: and you know if Buffalo's on defense, this bo Nicks

1151
01:03:53,520 --> 01:03:55,320
Speaker 9: plays his best football when it matters.

1152
01:03:55,160 --> 01:03:58,400
Speaker 3: The most last one for me, Dan, there is a

1153
01:03:58,520 --> 01:04:02,400
Speaker 3: chance that at Oliver could be back on the roster

1154
01:04:02,600 --> 01:04:05,840
Speaker 3: for this one. They opened his practice window for this week.

1155
01:04:06,320 --> 01:04:09,400
Speaker 3: He is chomping at the bit, Steve and I. Our

1156
01:04:09,480 --> 01:04:12,440
Speaker 3: office is right off the field house. He looks like

1157
01:04:12,960 --> 01:04:16,240
Speaker 3: a caged bull over here working with a strength and

1158
01:04:16,320 --> 01:04:20,560
Speaker 3: conditioning staff. What kind of a force multiplier could he be?

1159
01:04:21,360 --> 01:04:25,040
Speaker 3: For this defensive front, taking into account we got a

1160
01:04:25,080 --> 01:04:28,480
Speaker 3: three month layoff here, you know, conditioning, whatever it is.

1161
01:04:28,560 --> 01:04:31,320
Speaker 3: It's not the same as you know, game shape number

1162
01:04:31,360 --> 01:04:34,400
Speaker 3: one and playing at altitude number two. But what kind

1163
01:04:34,400 --> 01:04:36,560
Speaker 3: of a force multiplier do you think he could be

1164
01:04:36,720 --> 01:04:38,280
Speaker 3: for this defensive front?

1165
01:04:39,200 --> 01:04:43,920
Speaker 9: Tremendous? You know, the even if he's giving you thirty

1166
01:04:44,000 --> 01:04:46,960
Speaker 9: snaps and you know maybe twenty of those are on

1167
01:04:47,640 --> 01:04:50,760
Speaker 9: you know, potential passing situations as second and long and

1168
01:04:50,840 --> 01:04:53,080
Speaker 9: third and long. We've talked about it, how you know

1169
01:04:53,200 --> 01:04:55,160
Speaker 9: some of these passing moments they've gotten into some of

1170
01:04:55,160 --> 01:04:58,920
Speaker 9: these fire zone pressures or these three linebacker pressures, and

1171
01:04:59,120 --> 01:05:01,080
Speaker 9: you know they put a lot of speed and athleticism.

1172
01:05:01,240 --> 01:05:05,880
Speaker 9: Ed still commands body, He still commands a commitment from

1173
01:05:05,920 --> 01:05:09,160
Speaker 9: an offensive perspective, and so not only the penetration and

1174
01:05:09,200 --> 01:05:11,680
Speaker 9: some of the run game defense stuff, but I thought

1175
01:05:11,720 --> 01:05:13,680
Speaker 9: the linebackers played at a really high level last week

1176
01:05:13,720 --> 01:05:16,200
Speaker 9: as well. So Ed is a guy that you just

1177
01:05:16,600 --> 01:05:18,760
Speaker 9: are as an offense you have to account for on

1178
01:05:18,840 --> 01:05:22,440
Speaker 9: a consistent basis. And if you think about this, you know,

1179
01:05:22,560 --> 01:05:26,280
Speaker 9: potential pass rush situations with some of the three linebackers stuff.

1180
01:05:26,280 --> 01:05:28,960
Speaker 9: And then you took you take a Walker and Oliver

1181
01:05:29,280 --> 01:05:33,880
Speaker 9: Jones and Oliver Rousseau, the three linebackers, Bosa and Oliver,

1182
01:05:34,440 --> 01:05:36,640
Speaker 9: you can get into some pretty creative stuff, you know.

1183
01:05:36,720 --> 01:05:39,800
Speaker 9: And so if he's able to just even give them

1184
01:05:39,960 --> 01:05:42,560
Speaker 9: a third snaps, you know, accord to the snaps of

1185
01:05:42,560 --> 01:05:46,360
Speaker 9: the game, that's it's significant. He's a big time player.

1186
01:05:46,400 --> 01:05:48,200
Speaker 9: This is a different defense when he's on the field.

1187
01:05:48,600 --> 01:05:48,800
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1188
01:05:48,880 --> 01:05:50,840
Speaker 4: One of the reasons is one of the reasons it

1189
01:05:50,880 --> 01:05:54,800
Speaker 4: went so well for the Bills last week in Jacksonville

1190
01:05:54,920 --> 01:05:59,040
Speaker 4: was to play their secondary, which it's talking about it, right,

1191
01:05:59,160 --> 01:06:03,400
Speaker 4: It seems like something happened back that, right. I mean,

1192
01:06:03,440 --> 01:06:05,680
Speaker 4: they just feel like they're playing better and they have

1193
01:06:05,720 --> 01:06:07,560
Speaker 4: gotten a little better and a little better. Certainly, Trey

1194
01:06:07,640 --> 01:06:10,880
Speaker 4: White is further and further removed from his achilles and

1195
01:06:10,920 --> 01:06:13,080
Speaker 4: his acl from two and a half three years ago.

1196
01:06:13,680 --> 01:06:15,880
Speaker 4: He's and he's gotten better because of all the snaps

1197
01:06:15,880 --> 01:06:20,640
Speaker 4: he's been had to take. He's very wily talk a

1198
01:06:20,640 --> 01:06:22,959
Speaker 4: little bit about the Bill's secondary and how you've seen

1199
01:06:23,000 --> 01:06:24,160
Speaker 4: them evolve a little bit.

1200
01:06:25,360 --> 01:06:27,439
Speaker 9: I think we've talked about it, right, I'll go back

1201
01:06:27,440 --> 01:06:30,720
Speaker 9: to that Cincinnati game and saying, I know the numbers

1202
01:06:30,720 --> 01:06:32,760
Speaker 9: were what they were, but I thought the coverage was

1203
01:06:32,840 --> 01:06:35,440
Speaker 9: really good and they just got beat by great throws

1204
01:06:35,760 --> 01:06:39,120
Speaker 9: by one of the great quarterbacks. And this secondary, you know,

1205
01:06:39,200 --> 01:06:42,800
Speaker 9: one of the things that they're doing on a consistent basis.

1206
01:06:42,800 --> 01:06:45,920
Speaker 9: Two things I would say Steve, is they're changing pictures

1207
01:06:45,960 --> 01:06:49,720
Speaker 9: on quarterbacks. I often say there's two ways to truly

1208
01:06:49,920 --> 01:06:53,280
Speaker 9: impact quarterbacks. You speed them up or you slow them down.

1209
01:06:53,800 --> 01:06:57,000
Speaker 9: And Buffalo's not built to necessarily speed quarterbacks up with

1210
01:06:57,040 --> 01:06:59,640
Speaker 9: all their blitz people, but they're built to slow them

1211
01:06:59,680 --> 01:07:03,320
Speaker 9: down with who's the blitzer, who's not, where's the dropper,

1212
01:07:03,400 --> 01:07:05,880
Speaker 9: where's the pressure guy? And then what's the coverage doing.

1213
01:07:06,280 --> 01:07:08,360
Speaker 9: And then also if you if you just look at

1214
01:07:08,360 --> 01:07:13,600
Speaker 9: a lot of their their coverages, they are man underneath

1215
01:07:13,680 --> 01:07:16,280
Speaker 9: with help in some capacity over the top. So I

1216
01:07:16,320 --> 01:07:19,320
Speaker 9: do think it's allowing some of the corners, you know,

1217
01:07:19,400 --> 01:07:24,280
Speaker 9: the trays of the world. Obviously, the Benford Terran like

1218
01:07:25,240 --> 01:07:28,480
Speaker 9: just to sit on the hip Terran, excuse me to

1219
01:07:28,520 --> 01:07:30,720
Speaker 9: sit on the hip that back hip. They know they

1220
01:07:30,720 --> 01:07:32,400
Speaker 9: got a little bit of help over the top. They're

1221
01:07:32,440 --> 01:07:35,680
Speaker 9: playing with the proper leverage. That's something that is such

1222
01:07:35,720 --> 01:07:38,080
Speaker 9: a detailed thing and it may not make sense to

1223
01:07:38,120 --> 01:07:40,400
Speaker 9: a lot of people, but I'll go to the Tradevius

1224
01:07:40,400 --> 01:07:45,320
Speaker 9: White interception. His job is to play on the outside hip,

1225
01:07:46,240 --> 01:07:49,080
Speaker 9: on the outside hip because he has help on the inside,

1226
01:07:49,680 --> 01:07:52,960
Speaker 9: and just the detail that they're playing at and knowing

1227
01:07:53,000 --> 01:07:57,000
Speaker 9: where their help is is a big deal. And obviously

1228
01:07:57,080 --> 01:08:00,960
Speaker 9: Cole's been fantastic. He's been fantastic man, and since he's

1229
01:08:01,000 --> 01:08:03,439
Speaker 9: become a starter for this football team, and I think

1230
01:08:03,480 --> 01:08:06,240
Speaker 9: it's playing secondary wise. I think they're playing as good

1231
01:08:06,240 --> 01:08:07,480
Speaker 9: as anybody in playoffs.

1232
01:08:08,600 --> 01:08:10,760
Speaker 3: Dan, thanks as always for the time. We appreciate it.

1233

1237
01:08:23,000 --> 01:08:24,600

Speaker 3: Tomlin stepping down as head coach of the Steelers. There

1240
01:08:30,920 --> 01:08:35,160
Speaker 3: are now nine open head coaching jobs in the NFL

1241
01:08:35,439 --> 01:08:38,680
Speaker 3: this offseason cycle. Absolutely nuts. We're back with more here

1242
01:08:38,680 --> 01:08:40,880
Speaker 3: in a moment on One Bill's Live, presented by Colid

Speaker 12: It's Buffalo Bills Radio.

1245
01:08:57,200 --> 01:08:59,120
Speaker 7: I've said this before at some point that just push

1246
01:08:59,160 --> 01:09:01,679
Speaker 7: will die. And when to say we have the memorial

1247
01:09:01,720 --> 01:09:04,040
Speaker 7: for the Toush push. We need to show this play

1248
01:09:04,040 --> 01:09:06,040
Speaker 7: that happened in new Ball County when the Buffalo Bills

1249
01:09:06,040 --> 01:09:09,240
Speaker 7: decided right up the middle and you're gonna see Josh

1250
01:09:09,280 --> 01:09:11,439
Speaker 7: Allen and he's gonna go into almost to the n

1251
01:09:11,520 --> 01:09:13,559
Speaker 7: zon the back and even calling a touchdown. But I'm

1252
01:09:13,560 --> 01:09:16,439
Speaker 7: not doing it to Josh Allen. Shout out to oh

1253
01:09:16,560 --> 01:09:20,320
Speaker 7: Cyrus Torrance, who is picking up the franchise, who is

1254
01:09:20,400 --> 01:09:24,000
Speaker 7: picking up all of western New York and carrying it

1255
01:09:24,280 --> 01:09:28,000
Speaker 7: like CT carrying Johnny Bananas into.

1256
01:09:27,760 --> 01:09:28,479
Speaker 8: The end zone.

1257
01:09:28,640 --> 01:09:33,040
Speaker 7: Oh Cyrus the virus Torrance. This is an incredible effort

1258
01:09:33,360 --> 01:09:36,040
Speaker 7: by an incredible player. Listen, I can make it all

1259
01:09:36,040 --> 01:09:38,600
Speaker 7: about seventeen. I could print Josh down t shirts and

1260
01:09:38,640 --> 01:09:42,960
Speaker 7: sell them. No, no, this nominee is not Josh Allen.

1261
01:09:43,280 --> 01:09:48,280
Speaker 7: It is oh Cyrus Torrance. Oh Cyrus, Oh my god,

1262
01:09:48,439 --> 01:09:50,960
Speaker 7: what an effort he's doing. It's like one of those

1263
01:09:51,000 --> 01:09:53,360
Speaker 7: world's strongest men and three in the morning pulling bus

1264
01:09:53,439 --> 01:09:56,120
Speaker 7: with their teas puts a dude's named Magnus. This dude

1265
01:09:56,160 --> 01:09:58,760
Speaker 7: is named oh Cyrus and I think he can win

1266
01:09:58,800 --> 01:10:00,840
Speaker 7: this thing. I love you, oh s, and that might

1267
01:10:00,880 --> 01:10:01,200
Speaker 7: be it.

1268
01:10:01,439 --> 01:10:02,240
Speaker 11: You get hit it there.

1269
01:10:02,840 --> 01:10:03,680
Speaker 4: I just think the.

1270
01:10:03,680 --> 01:10:06,439
Speaker 7: Idea of a big man putting the team on his

1271
01:10:06,560 --> 01:10:09,320
Speaker 7: back and putting the franchise player up in the air.

1272
01:10:09,880 --> 01:10:11,920
Speaker 7: This going to Cyrus Torrance is going?

1273
01:10:12,000 --> 01:10:14,719
Speaker 3: This going to Western New York. He said, I'm carrying

1274
01:10:14,720 --> 01:10:15,040
Speaker 3: this guy.

1275
01:10:15,120 --> 01:10:17,840
Speaker 7: Let's go A big Josh Sallen is no light little

1276
01:10:17,880 --> 01:10:20,439
Speaker 7: spite of a quarterback. He is a big old dude

1277
01:10:20,439 --> 01:10:24,240
Speaker 7: from Fireball California. And his dude picked him up and said, I.

1278
01:10:24,240 --> 01:10:25,240
Speaker 4: Got us follow me.

1279
01:10:25,560 --> 01:10:27,640
Speaker 7: I will carry you into the parking lot if they

1280
01:10:27,720 --> 01:10:31,599
Speaker 7: let me number sixty four for the Buffalo Bills.

1281
01:10:31,960 --> 01:10:33,240
Speaker 3: What an image member.

1282
01:10:33,600 --> 01:10:38,479
Speaker 7: Really close game, critical situation of Cyrus Torrance. These are

1283
01:10:38,479 --> 01:10:40,720
Speaker 7: some of the most happiest words I've ever said on

1284
01:10:40,760 --> 01:10:44,280
Speaker 7: this angry terrorist. You are winning angry runs, You are

1285
01:10:44,320 --> 01:10:47,320
Speaker 7: winning angry round, and the scepter goes back.

1286
01:10:47,680 --> 01:10:49,280
Speaker 3: Where is it to.

1287
01:10:49,320 --> 01:10:52,559
Speaker 7: Western New York? After all of that, Lucky guys, good

1288
01:10:52,640 --> 01:10:53,400
Speaker 7: luck next round.

1289
01:10:53,479 --> 01:10:54,360
Speaker 3: I love all the big men.

1290
01:10:54,400 --> 01:10:56,439
Speaker 7: We'll see you next week. Angry Runs, Bye.

1291
01:10:56,320 --> 01:11:02,519
Speaker 3: Bye, Oh, Cyrus Torrance. Cybo wins angry runs for his

1292
01:11:02,720 --> 01:11:07,479
Speaker 3: Fireman's carry of Josh Allen on the fourth and one

1293
01:11:07,720 --> 01:11:10,040
Speaker 3: beauty in the red zone beauty, how about it?

1294
01:11:10,200 --> 01:11:15,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was we said it yesterday. We had Maddie

1295
01:11:15,120 --> 01:11:18,439
Speaker 4: on for the Maddy Awards and the probably win. They

1296
01:11:18,439 --> 01:11:20,920
Speaker 4: do win probabilities in live act time. You know, It's

1297
01:11:20,960 --> 01:11:24,559
Speaker 4: like the Bills had like a twenty seven percent chance

1298
01:11:24,600 --> 01:11:28,320
Speaker 4: to win that game when it was fourth and one

1299
01:11:28,560 --> 01:11:31,240
Speaker 4: on the eleven. I think that was a fourth down

1300
01:11:31,280 --> 01:11:35,200
Speaker 4: run right there, right and after this play they had

1301
01:11:35,200 --> 01:11:38,080
Speaker 4: a seventy seven percent chance to win that game.

1302
01:11:38,280 --> 01:11:43,439
Speaker 3: I really I think we need to ask Josh what

1303
01:11:43,479 --> 01:11:46,759
Speaker 3: were you thinking when your feet were off the ground

1304
01:11:47,160 --> 01:11:51,800
Speaker 3: and you were still floating forward? Because like, he's a

1305
01:11:51,840 --> 01:11:54,960
Speaker 3: big guy, Like I'll bet you could count on one

1306
01:11:55,040 --> 01:11:57,679
Speaker 3: hand the number of times he's been picked up off

1307
01:11:57,720 --> 01:12:00,599
Speaker 3: the ground in his life since he's been an adult,

1308
01:12:01,360 --> 01:12:04,240
Speaker 3: and his lineman just forklifted him.

1309
01:12:05,000 --> 01:12:05,680
Speaker 4: I wondering what.

1310
01:12:05,640 --> 01:12:07,800
Speaker 3: He's thinking in the midst of that play though, Like,

1311
01:12:08,000 --> 01:12:09,599
Speaker 3: who the heck picked me up?

1312
01:12:09,680 --> 01:12:10,439
Speaker 4: What it's like?

1313
01:12:10,479 --> 01:12:11,599
Speaker 3: I want to know what he was thinking.

1314
01:12:11,640 --> 01:12:14,439
Speaker 4: O Cyrus got up and flexed hard. He knew that

1315
01:12:14,560 --> 01:12:17,120
Speaker 4: was it was quite It was the moment of the game.

1316
01:12:19,040 --> 01:12:23,080
Speaker 4: Jacksonville's leading by four at this point, they called it

1317
01:12:23,120 --> 01:12:26,080
Speaker 4: a touchdown because when Osyrus goes down, he pulls Josh

1318
01:12:26,080 --> 01:12:28,400
Speaker 4: and spins him over the top. And the official thought

1319
01:12:28,439 --> 01:12:31,320
Speaker 4: that Josh's you know, body never touch never turns the ground.

1320
01:12:31,640 --> 01:12:35,720
Speaker 4: Replay showed that his behind did, but and you know,

1321
01:12:35,880 --> 01:12:39,840
Speaker 4: it's just it was one of those plays. Yeah, that's

1322
01:12:39,840 --> 01:12:44,200
Speaker 4: a historic play a playoff game, and you win it.

1323
01:12:44,000 --> 01:12:46,479
Speaker 4: Give me your team a chance to score the winning points.

1324
01:12:46,479 --> 01:12:49,000
Speaker 3: That's Kyle Brand is probably right. He said, you know,

1325
01:12:49,040 --> 01:12:52,000
Speaker 3: when the tush push is dead in this league, we're

1326
01:12:52,000 --> 01:12:55,760
Speaker 3: gonna have to show this. This will be to the grandkids, saying, hey,

1327
01:12:55,800 --> 01:12:57,400
Speaker 3: back in the day, he used to be able to

1328
01:12:57,439 --> 01:13:00,840
Speaker 3: push your ball carrier wherever you want it. Yeah, and

1329
01:13:00,920 --> 01:13:02,960
Speaker 3: this one will probably come up and have the beauty.

1330
01:13:03,400 --> 01:13:05,000
Speaker 3: Let's get back to the phones. At eight O three

1331
01:13:05,080 --> 01:13:08,400
Speaker 3: zero five fifty one eighty eight five point fifty two

1332
01:13:08,400 --> 01:13:12,599
Speaker 3: five fifty what has you most encouraged about the Bills

1333
01:13:12,920 --> 01:13:17,000
Speaker 3: heading into their divisional playoff matchup in Denver. We go

1334
01:13:17,120 --> 01:13:21,519
Speaker 3: to Jeane and Brockport. What's up, Gene Hi, you.

1335
01:13:21,479 --> 01:13:24,759
Speaker 13: Guys are wonderful. Thank you both, and thank you Bills,

1336
01:13:24,920 --> 01:13:30,360
Speaker 13: and thank you Mafia. They're they've been wonderful. I just

1337
01:13:30,479 --> 01:13:33,200
Speaker 13: want to say that what encouraged me the most, and

1338
01:13:33,280 --> 01:13:36,200
Speaker 13: it's not just been like in the last few weeks,

1339
01:13:36,240 --> 01:13:42,920
Speaker 13: but it's been quite frequently, and that is they seem

1340
01:13:42,960 --> 01:13:48,559
Speaker 13: to be making much better decisions with adjustments at the half.

1341
01:13:49,120 --> 01:13:52,280
Speaker 13: I think that has made the biggest decision, you know,

1342
01:13:52,520 --> 01:13:56,559
Speaker 13: the biggest decision, and why they're doing so much better

1343
01:13:56,680 --> 01:13:59,640
Speaker 13: than they were struggling for a while. And on that,

1344
01:13:59,840 --> 01:14:02,640
Speaker 13: I want to just thank you guys again, God glassed and.

1345
01:14:04,760 --> 01:14:08,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, thanks a very thankful Jeane here today. Thankful for everybody,

1346
01:14:09,240 --> 01:14:13,920
Speaker 3: and thank you for listening. Geane. Yeah, I thought they

1347
01:14:13,960 --> 01:14:17,599
Speaker 3: got off to I don't know if I would say

1348
01:14:17,600 --> 01:14:20,840
Speaker 3: an outstanding start, but a steady start, which is better

1349
01:14:20,880 --> 01:14:24,560
Speaker 3: than we've seen in recent weeks. So the halftime adjustments

1350
01:14:24,560 --> 01:14:26,680
Speaker 3: didn't need to carry as much weight as they have

1351
01:14:27,439 --> 01:14:30,760
Speaker 3: in some recent games. On the back end of the

1352
01:14:30,760 --> 01:14:36,120
Speaker 3: regular season. I think some people might even argue that

1353
01:14:36,200 --> 01:14:38,920
Speaker 3: the defensive effort in the first half, at least in

1354
01:14:39,000 --> 01:14:41,920
Speaker 3: terms of points allowed, was better in the second half.

1355
01:14:41,960 --> 01:14:46,760
Speaker 3: And you've got to remember you're playing playoff caliber teams. Now,

1356
01:14:47,640 --> 01:14:49,400
Speaker 3: they're gonna come up with some stuff for the second

1357
01:14:49,439 --> 01:14:53,280
Speaker 3: half too, that's gonna be pretty good. So you got

1358
01:14:53,320 --> 01:14:55,759
Speaker 3: to match wits, and you know, this is a Super

1359
01:14:55,800 --> 01:14:58,320
Speaker 3: Bowl winning coach and his staff that you're going against

1360
01:14:58,320 --> 01:15:01,479
Speaker 3: this week, so you better you'd better be as creative

1361
01:15:01,479 --> 01:15:03,679
Speaker 3: as possible going against this crew.

1362
01:15:04,200 --> 01:15:08,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it has been a hallmark of this season

1363
01:15:08,400 --> 01:15:12,439
Speaker 4: that they have made adjustments in game, and certainly this

1364
01:15:12,560 --> 01:15:16,280
Speaker 4: last game they hung in there much better than they

1365
01:15:16,320 --> 01:15:18,400
Speaker 4: have in games we've seen early in the season. They

1366
01:15:18,479 --> 01:15:19,800
Speaker 4: just you know, they got off to a better start,

1367
01:15:19,840 --> 01:15:22,519
Speaker 4: scored first with the field goal on their second drive,

1368
01:15:23,520 --> 01:15:25,240
Speaker 4: and forced a three and out right out of the gate.

1369
01:15:25,360 --> 01:15:29,600
Speaker 4: So against an offense that was smoking hot when it

1370
01:15:29,640 --> 01:15:31,559
Speaker 4: came in and to get a three and out right

1371
01:15:31,560 --> 01:15:34,679
Speaker 4: out of the gate was pretty pretty strong, I thought. So, yeah,

1372
01:15:34,680 --> 01:15:38,440
Speaker 4: you're right, this coaching staff deserves some credit for that ability,

1373
01:15:38,560 --> 01:15:41,759
Speaker 4: and we'll see if it can continue against another coaching

1374
01:15:41,800 --> 01:15:43,240
Speaker 4: staff they haven't seen yet this year.

1375
01:15:43,880 --> 01:15:46,040
Speaker 3: To Jim in New York, what's up, Jim?

1376
01:15:47,920 --> 01:15:49,200
Speaker 14: Hey, how's it going guys?

1377
01:15:49,240 --> 01:15:49,479
Speaker 3: Good?

1378
01:15:49,560 --> 01:15:49,840
Speaker 4: Good?

1379
01:15:51,240 --> 01:15:51,439
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1380
01:15:51,439 --> 01:15:56,439
Speaker 14: I rewatched the game against checks of the other day,

1381
01:15:57,240 --> 01:16:00,240
Speaker 14: and the thing that I noticed that was really cool

1382
01:16:00,400 --> 01:16:05,759
Speaker 14: was Javon Solomon. Oh my god, he made an awesome

1383
01:16:05,880 --> 01:16:09,240
Speaker 14: tackle on that last kickoff. Yeah, push them back to

1384
01:16:09,360 --> 01:16:12,439
Speaker 14: about jackson bout twenty and I think that might have

1385
01:16:12,520 --> 01:16:17,080
Speaker 14: helped change the complexion of that whole drive, kind of

1386
01:16:17,120 --> 01:16:19,679
Speaker 14: put a lot of a lot of pressure on Trevor.

1387
01:16:20,439 --> 01:16:25,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, Steve actually referenced. Yeah, Steve actually referenced that yesterday,

1388
01:16:25,840 --> 01:16:30,360
Speaker 3: just talking about how the percentage of drives ending with

1389
01:16:30,400 --> 01:16:34,519
Speaker 3: a score go down precipitously if you start a drive

1390
01:16:34,560 --> 01:16:36,760
Speaker 3: inside your own thirty yard line as opposed to your

1391
01:16:36,800 --> 01:16:39,760
Speaker 3: thirty or better, And that was an example of that

1392
01:16:40,520 --> 01:16:42,160
Speaker 3: because they I think they dropped him right at the

1393
01:16:42,200 --> 01:16:42,800
Speaker 3: twenty three.

1394
01:16:42,920 --> 01:16:45,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, remember the twenty five, So it got an extra

1395
01:16:45,320 --> 01:16:47,800
Speaker 4: ten yards. It's just an extra it's an extra first

1396
01:16:47,800 --> 01:16:51,120
Speaker 4: down the offense has to get before they can get

1397
01:16:52,200 --> 01:16:54,040
Speaker 4: get a try it points, and in this case, it's

1398
01:16:54,040 --> 01:16:56,880
Speaker 4: just a field goal to tie it. And the Bill's

1399
01:16:56,960 --> 01:17:01,240
Speaker 4: kickoff return team or kickoff coverage team, I'm sorry, really

1400
01:17:01,280 --> 01:17:04,080
Speaker 4: did a nice job yesterday, particularly on the last two

1401
01:17:04,160 --> 01:17:09,799
Speaker 4: kickoffs they had. They scored two touchdowns in the fourth quarter,

1402
01:17:10,520 --> 01:17:13,479
Speaker 4: both of which following they got really good kick coverage

1403
01:17:13,520 --> 01:17:17,240
Speaker 4: and it forced the Jacksonville team to, you know, start

1404
01:17:17,360 --> 01:17:19,840
Speaker 4: deeping their own in now they answered the first one,

1405
01:17:20,000 --> 01:17:23,439
Speaker 4: one of them with a touchdown, and they had a

1406
01:17:23,479 --> 01:17:25,720
Speaker 4: ten play drive for a touchdown, an eleven play drive

1407
01:17:25,720 --> 01:17:28,760
Speaker 4: for a touchdown in the fourth quarter. Did Jacksonville the

1408
01:17:28,880 --> 01:17:31,280
Speaker 4: last one? They once again, they had to start from

1409
01:17:31,320 --> 01:17:33,320
Speaker 4: their own twenty three, as Brownie said, and you know,

1410
01:17:33,360 --> 01:17:36,880
Speaker 4: the first play, first and ten and it's game's overep.

1411
01:17:38,040 --> 01:17:40,120
Speaker 4: They did a nice job and that's I mean a

1412
01:17:40,120 --> 01:17:43,040
Speaker 4: little bit. That's what special teams are. You chip in

1413
01:17:43,680 --> 01:17:46,160
Speaker 4: and you know, you never know whether it made a

1414
01:17:46,200 --> 01:17:48,240
Speaker 4: difference in the play selection on their twenty three or

1415
01:17:48,240 --> 01:17:50,840
Speaker 4: their thirty five or whatever, but it's still it's the

1416
01:17:50,880 --> 01:17:53,000
Speaker 4: field position that matters. And they got an extra ten

1417
01:17:53,080 --> 01:17:55,200
Speaker 4: yards for the club and that's as big.

1418
01:17:56,040 --> 01:17:58,920
Speaker 3: Let's go to Bill in New York next. What's up Bill?

1419
01:18:00,720 --> 01:18:01,040
Speaker 1: Hello?

1420
01:18:01,760 --> 01:18:03,800
Speaker 3: How about Bill? Hey?

1421
01:18:03,880 --> 01:18:08,080
Speaker 1: How you doing good? I'm very encouraged about the game

1422
01:18:08,160 --> 01:18:11,559
Speaker 1: this week. I went back through and looked at the

1423
01:18:11,680 --> 01:18:14,800
Speaker 1: entire Denver game last year, which was the two to

1424
01:18:14,920 --> 01:18:21,920
Speaker 1: six wild card matchup at Highmark Stadium, and it was

1425
01:18:22,040 --> 01:18:28,559
Speaker 1: a total domination of the Bills. Even though the the

1426
01:18:28,600 --> 01:18:31,639
Speaker 1: Broncos jumped on the Bills and scored that long pass

1427
01:18:31,720 --> 01:18:35,720
Speaker 1: to Franklin in the first quarter, and the Bills came

1428
01:18:35,760 --> 01:18:40,320
Speaker 1: back and scored thirty one unanswered points and ran all

1429
01:18:40,320 --> 01:18:46,439
Speaker 1: over Denver and Josh had a great game through for

1430
01:18:46,520 --> 01:18:51,880
Speaker 1: two touchdown passes, and even though Denver had a successful

1431
01:18:51,960 --> 01:18:57,400
Speaker 1: fake punt in the game, the Bills kept the momentum

1432
01:18:57,439 --> 01:19:01,120
Speaker 1: going in their direction and just ran all over them.

1433
01:19:01,600 --> 01:19:04,640
Speaker 3: Yeah. I do anticipate a closer game, Bill.

1434
01:19:05,240 --> 01:19:08,160
Speaker 1: Me too, but that you know, Yeah, we're talking twenty

1435
01:19:08,160 --> 01:19:10,400
Speaker 1: four points, and you know a year is not going

1436
01:19:10,479 --> 01:19:13,120
Speaker 1: to make a difference. We still have Josh Allen and

1437
01:19:13,240 --> 01:19:16,639
Speaker 1: James Cook, and I'd rather have those two guys than

1438
01:19:16,720 --> 01:19:17,960
Speaker 1: having Bonnecks.

1439
01:19:18,479 --> 01:19:18,719
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1440
01:19:18,760 --> 01:19:21,120
Speaker 3: I won't disagree with you there, Bill, not at all.

1441
01:19:22,160 --> 01:19:24,920
Speaker 3: But this defense playing in their building, with that crowd

1442
01:19:24,960 --> 01:19:28,600
Speaker 3: noise at pass rushes even more fierce. The Bills absolutely,

1443
01:19:28,680 --> 01:19:33,200
Speaker 3: positively have to have some measure of success running the football.

1444
01:19:33,200 --> 01:19:34,719
Speaker 3: They don't have to rip off one hundred and fifty

1445
01:19:34,800 --> 01:19:36,680
Speaker 3: or one hundred and eighty yards, but they got to

1446
01:19:36,720 --> 01:19:39,480
Speaker 3: be somewhere between eighty and one hundred to be effective

1447
01:19:39,640 --> 01:19:43,559
Speaker 3: enough to keep that defense honest, to stay on schedule

1448
01:19:43,680 --> 01:19:47,280
Speaker 3: and stay out of third and long, because you play

1449
01:19:47,320 --> 01:19:49,880
Speaker 3: third and long against that defense most of the day,

1450
01:19:50,240 --> 01:19:53,000
Speaker 3: you're gonna pay for it. I mean, sixty eight sacks

1451
01:19:53,000 --> 01:19:57,479
Speaker 3: in seventeen games is ridiculous. They're eleven sacks free and

1452
01:19:57,560 --> 01:20:01,240
Speaker 3: clear of the next highest sack total team in the league,

1453
01:20:01,400 --> 01:20:03,280
Speaker 3: which had fifty seven.

1454
01:20:03,680 --> 01:20:05,559
Speaker 4: I think the key for this is gonna be the

1455
01:20:05,600 --> 01:20:09,160
Speaker 4: bills are offense is gonna have to make beg borrow steeal,

1456
01:20:09,880 --> 01:20:12,600
Speaker 4: create first downs as often as they can stay on

1457
01:20:12,640 --> 01:20:15,920
Speaker 4: the field. They've got to have some success. I don't

1458
01:20:15,960 --> 01:20:19,760
Speaker 4: think this is gonna be any kind of close to

1459
01:20:19,840 --> 01:20:22,040
Speaker 4: the game it was last year here in Orchard Park.

1460
01:20:22,240 --> 01:20:24,080
Speaker 4: It was very close. All it was the first half,

1461
01:20:24,240 --> 01:20:26,479
Speaker 4: first half it was like ten to seven. Yeah, first half,

1462
01:20:27,000 --> 01:20:31,080
Speaker 4: and because of that, you know, you kind of get

1463
01:20:31,080 --> 01:20:33,120
Speaker 4: the feet you forget about it as being, you know,

1464
01:20:33,160 --> 01:20:36,080
Speaker 4: the thirty one to ten or thirty one seven game

1465
01:20:36,120 --> 01:20:38,120
Speaker 4: that it turned out to be. I think this game

1466
01:20:38,160 --> 01:20:40,840
Speaker 4: is gonna be very close. I think because of that,

1467
01:20:40,960 --> 01:20:44,280
Speaker 4: the Bills won't lose their ability or desire to keep

1468
01:20:44,320 --> 01:20:48,120
Speaker 4: the run game involved. But you're gonna have to make

1469
01:20:48,240 --> 01:20:50,400
Speaker 4: first downs and you're gonna have to stay ahead of

1470
01:20:50,439 --> 01:20:54,200
Speaker 4: the sticks, and it's really difficult to do against a

1471
01:20:54,280 --> 01:20:57,040
Speaker 4: really good defense. You saw how hard it was this

1472
01:20:57,120 --> 01:21:01,400
Speaker 4: last week against Jacksonville. It's going to be just that

1473
01:21:01,479 --> 01:21:04,040
Speaker 4: hard or more difficult this week in Denver.

1474
01:21:04,680 --> 01:21:07,280
Speaker 3: Let's go to Lynn on a sale. What's up, Lynn?

1475
01:21:08,280 --> 01:21:11,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, I lived in Denver for two years. And when

1476
01:21:11,160 --> 01:21:14,920
Speaker 6: you think about the total amount of active you know

1477
01:21:15,000 --> 01:21:19,599
Speaker 6: activity in a football game, what's like ten minutes or so,

1478
01:21:20,360 --> 01:21:23,960
Speaker 6: and each play is you know, under a minute, you know,

1479
01:21:24,160 --> 01:21:28,200
Speaker 6: forty seconds whatever else. The mile high air isn't going

1480
01:21:28,280 --> 01:21:32,800
Speaker 6: to have any impact on our players. You know, they

1481
01:21:32,800 --> 01:21:36,240
Speaker 6: should be in good enough shape to withstands in right.

1482
01:21:36,479 --> 01:21:40,560
Speaker 6: And I watched Denver lose quite a few games to

1483
01:21:40,920 --> 01:21:43,360
Speaker 6: people from out of town when I lived there.

1484
01:21:43,520 --> 01:21:44,160
Speaker 15: Go bills.

1485
01:21:44,200 --> 01:21:47,080
Speaker 3: All right, fair enough, Lynn, Thanks Lynn. Little expertise on

1486
01:21:47,120 --> 01:21:49,920
Speaker 3: the altitude.

1487
01:21:50,000 --> 01:21:51,320
Speaker 4: Some people do struggle with it.

1488
01:21:52,240 --> 01:21:54,320
Speaker 3: I remember when I I mean, I went on a

1489
01:21:54,320 --> 01:21:58,759
Speaker 3: family vacation a Lake Tahoe. Now Lake Tahoe is sixty

1490
01:21:58,800 --> 01:22:02,160
Speaker 3: two hundred feet up up right at the lake level,

1491
01:22:03,080 --> 01:22:06,400
Speaker 3: and then our hotel was up on a ridge at

1492
01:22:06,439 --> 01:22:09,639
Speaker 3: seventy three hundred feet and I'm going up the steps

1493
01:22:09,800 --> 01:22:13,760
Speaker 3: and I'm twenty four, strapping, super in shape. I'm going

1494
01:22:13,840 --> 01:22:16,400
Speaker 3: up the stairs to the hotel room and I'm huffing. Yeah, like,

1495
01:22:17,520 --> 01:22:19,400
Speaker 3: now that's a mile and a half up, not a

1496
01:22:19,439 --> 01:22:24,080
Speaker 3: mile up. But still you have to remember football is

1497
01:22:24,160 --> 01:22:28,960
Speaker 3: played at one hundred and ten percent effort for very

1498
01:22:29,000 --> 01:22:33,000
Speaker 3: short bursts of time, and if a team goes hurry

1499
01:22:33,120 --> 01:22:37,960
Speaker 3: up on you, you know those bursts of effort are

1500
01:22:38,000 --> 01:22:41,280
Speaker 3: going to come in much more rapid succession, sometimes sixteen

1501
01:22:41,360 --> 01:22:44,840
Speaker 3: to twenty seconds apart. It's harder to catch your breath

1502
01:22:44,880 --> 01:22:45,960
Speaker 3: in those conditions.

1503
01:22:46,320 --> 01:22:49,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's I think what it is. And one of

1504
01:22:49,760 --> 01:22:53,519
Speaker 4: the reasons why football it takes it's difficult to see

1505
01:22:53,640 --> 01:22:57,679
Speaker 4: or discern the altitude having an effect is because these

1506
01:22:57,680 --> 01:23:04,639
Speaker 4: guys are trained to sprint, slow down, rest, it's anaerobic training.

1507
01:23:04,880 --> 01:23:08,000
Speaker 4: It's explosions and then rest, explosion and then rest, explosion

1508
01:23:08,000 --> 01:23:12,440
Speaker 4: and then rest. So what happens is at altitude you explode,

1509
01:23:13,320 --> 01:23:15,800
Speaker 4: you explode, and then rest, but your rest doesn't quite

1510
01:23:15,800 --> 01:23:18,040
Speaker 4: get you back to one hundred percent of your recovery.

1511
01:23:18,120 --> 01:23:20,600
Speaker 4: But then you explode and then you rest, and.

1512
01:23:20,240 --> 01:23:21,759
Speaker 3: It's a cumulative effect.

1513
01:23:22,560 --> 01:23:27,040
Speaker 4: Between series, there's plenty of time to recover. So yeah,

1514
01:23:27,520 --> 01:23:29,920
Speaker 4: particularly in today's game, where you got a bunch, you

1515
01:23:29,960 --> 01:23:34,360
Speaker 4: got you know, fifteen or eighteen guys shouldering the burden

1516
01:23:34,840 --> 01:23:37,320
Speaker 4: of the offense, particularly in the skill position players. The

1517
01:23:37,360 --> 01:23:40,320
Speaker 4: five offensive linemen, they're gonna be out there and they're

1518
01:23:40,320 --> 01:23:42,439
Speaker 4: gonna do their thing. But the rest of the guys,

1519
01:23:42,560 --> 01:23:44,880
Speaker 4: besides Josh kind of come in and out of the game,

1520
01:23:45,240 --> 01:23:47,880
Speaker 4: So that can be managed to a large degree. The

1521
01:23:47,960 --> 01:23:50,960
Speaker 4: offensive lineman. For the Bills, you might have something there.

1522
01:23:50,960 --> 01:23:52,880
Speaker 4: Maybe you're running a two minute and you're running a

1523
01:23:52,920 --> 01:23:54,639
Speaker 4: two minute drill. You might run a run some guys

1524
01:23:54,640 --> 01:23:56,280
Speaker 4: out there and let them get a couple of reps in.

1525
01:23:56,360 --> 01:24:01,439
Speaker 4: But other than that, I'm kind of with Lynn. They'll

1526
01:24:01,479 --> 01:24:03,960
Speaker 4: be all right, gotta take a break here.

1527
01:24:04,000 --> 01:24:05,720
Speaker 3: We'll see if we can squeeze a phone call or

1528
01:24:05,720 --> 01:24:07,760
Speaker 3: two in when we get back here. On One Bill's Live,

1529
01:24:07,800 --> 01:24:13,880
Speaker 3: presented by co Lot of Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio.

1530
01:24:27,439 --> 01:24:29,360
Speaker 3: All right, back here on One Bill's Live. You gonna

1531
01:24:29,560 --> 01:24:31,760
Speaker 3: squeeze a phone call in here before we go, and

1532
01:24:32,240 --> 01:24:34,880

Speaker 15: Yeah? Hey, guys, thanks for taking my call. Sure, Hey,

1535
01:24:38,200 --> 01:24:40,439
Speaker 15: I just wanted to say I was in a rubol

1536
01:24:40,520 --> 01:24:43,520
Speaker 15: last week with my wife for our thirty fifth wedding anniversary,

1537
01:24:44,160 --> 01:24:47,080
Speaker 15: and we watched the game in the hotel bar. There's

1538
01:24:47,080 --> 01:24:50,759
Speaker 15: about twenty people in there, and it was a nail bier.

1539
01:24:50,800 --> 01:24:53,599
Speaker 15: But then when they won, everybody was just going nuts.

1540
01:24:53,760 --> 01:24:54,400
Speaker 15: It was great.

1541
01:24:55,160 --> 01:24:57,479
Speaker 3: Did you buy everybody around or how'd you celebrate?

1542
01:24:59,760 --> 01:25:04,479
Speaker 15: Well, well, just everybody high five in and you most

1543
01:25:04,520 --> 01:25:08,000
Speaker 15: of us were already pretty well inebrated anyway you can imagine.

1544
01:25:07,520 --> 01:25:07,680
Speaker 2: But.

1545
01:25:09,520 --> 01:25:12,640
Speaker 15: Now it was very nice. And the hell at the

1546
01:25:13,000 --> 01:25:16,400
Speaker 15: airports all the way home too, they were they were

1547
01:25:16,400 --> 01:25:18,560
Speaker 15: all staying gold bills and high five in us and

1548
01:25:18,600 --> 01:25:20,760
Speaker 15: everything like that, so that it was really cool.

1549
01:25:20,960 --> 01:25:25,759
Speaker 3: Well, I'm I'm glad the Bills added to your trip, yep.

1550
01:25:25,880 --> 01:25:28,519
Speaker 15: And one thing I'll say about the Bills is they

1551
01:25:28,560 --> 01:25:33,599
Speaker 15: are a playoff experienced team and they're battle tested. If

1552
01:25:33,600 --> 01:25:35,759
Speaker 15: you just look at the defenses that they have played

1553
01:25:35,800 --> 01:25:40,120
Speaker 15: this year, I mean, they have really played everybody that

1554
01:25:40,680 --> 01:25:43,880
Speaker 15: the defenses are on the top ten in just about

1555
01:25:43,880 --> 01:25:46,000
Speaker 15: every category all the way across the board that they

1556
01:25:46,000 --> 01:25:46,800
Speaker 15: have played this year.

1557
01:25:46,960 --> 01:25:49,480
Speaker 3: Yep. And they're going to play another one on Saturday.

1558
01:25:49,560 --> 01:25:52,559
Speaker 3: The number two defense in football, which is also number

1559
01:25:52,560 --> 01:25:55,160
Speaker 3: three in points against, number two against the run, number

1560
01:25:55,200 --> 01:25:58,479
Speaker 3: seven against the pass, and they're also number two in

1561
01:25:58,600 --> 01:26:01,360
Speaker 3: third down defense, and they're the number one red zone

1562
01:26:01,400 --> 01:26:05,960
Speaker 3: defense at football. Hello, gonna be a test.

1563
01:26:06,080 --> 01:26:10,080
Speaker 4: So if you watch Houston Texans Houston Texans play the

1564
01:26:10,080 --> 01:26:13,080
Speaker 4: Pittsburgh Steelers last night, this defense in Denver supposed to

1565
01:26:13,120 --> 01:26:13,800
Speaker 4: better than that one.

1566
01:26:14,200 --> 01:26:16,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, Houston finished as the number one total

1567
01:26:16,960 --> 01:26:20,800
Speaker 3: defense and they were second in points allowed. But there

1568
01:26:20,800 --> 01:26:25,400
Speaker 3: are more. The Broncos have more top three rankings than

1569
01:26:25,439 --> 01:26:27,760
Speaker 3: the Texans do on the defensive side of the ball,

1570
01:26:28,920 --> 01:26:35,160
Speaker 3: and Houston is a fearsome never defense. And that's what

1571
01:26:35,200 --> 01:26:37,719
Speaker 3: you're signing up for. You want to go to the playoffs, Fine,

1572
01:26:37,920 --> 01:26:40,360
Speaker 3: now you got to prove you're better than the best,

1573
01:26:40,640 --> 01:26:43,040
Speaker 3: because that's who you're playing every week now, the best,

1574
01:26:43,200 --> 01:26:45,320
Speaker 3: and the games are gonna be tight. Do you have

1575
01:26:45,360 --> 01:26:48,519
Speaker 3: the mental toughness and the execution ability to persevere? As

1576
01:26:48,520 --> 01:26:52,920
Speaker 3: Steve says, every time, you gotta play well on that day.

1577
01:26:53,760 --> 01:26:57,240
Speaker 3: And the Jaguars did not play their best last week.

1578
01:26:57,560 --> 01:27:05,280
Speaker 3: They missed a field goal, they two interceptions, they they

1579
01:27:05,320 --> 01:27:09,720
Speaker 3: turned it over on downs once. It doesn't sound like much,

1580
01:27:09,760 --> 01:27:11,440
Speaker 3: but it's enough to lose a three point.

1581
01:27:11,200 --> 01:27:13,000
Speaker 4: Game, so it works.

1582
01:27:13,320 --> 01:27:17,720
Speaker 3: I mean, it's it's the smallest little details and then

1583
01:27:17,760 --> 01:27:20,840
Speaker 3: they add up and compound on one another, and before

1584
01:27:20,880 --> 01:27:22,439
Speaker 3: you know what, you're looking up at the scoreboard and

1585
01:27:22,439 --> 01:27:24,360
Speaker 3: the clocks want rinding down. You're like, how did we

1586
01:27:24,400 --> 01:27:27,280
Speaker 3: lose this game? So you got to be as error

1587
01:27:27,320 --> 01:27:31,519
Speaker 3: free as possible and execute well on the day you

1588
01:27:31,760 --> 01:27:37,040
Speaker 3: are playing, simple as that. Tomorrow's show gonna have a

1589
01:27:37,080 --> 01:27:40,040
Speaker 3: player guest in studio, Steve Really as the players are

1590
01:27:40,040 --> 01:27:43,439

01:27:58,640 --> 01:28:01,599
Speaker 3: he's very well known for his pizza making skills.

1597
01:28:01,800 --> 01:28:02,840
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1598
01:28:03,040 --> 01:28:06,519
Speaker 3: I wonder, I wonder if he's going to consider that

1599
01:28:07,439 --> 01:28:10,880
Speaker 3: as a post career option, you know, open a little

1600
01:28:10,880 --> 01:28:13,320
Speaker 3: piece of joint. Why not?

1601
01:28:14,240 --> 01:28:16,200
Speaker 4: If you're that good at it, If you're that good

1602
01:28:16,200 --> 01:28:17,200
Speaker 4: at it, why not.

1603
01:28:17,360 --> 01:28:22,080
Speaker 3: I mean restaurant businesses, it's rough, it's rough, but who

1604
01:28:22,120 --> 01:28:26,840
Speaker 3: knows if you pick the right spot, location, location, location, Yeah,

1605
01:28:26,880 --> 01:28:30,479
Speaker 3: as they say, that's right, But yeah, we're pretty much

1606
01:28:30,479 --> 01:28:33,759
Speaker 3: good for today. I would say the thing that I'm

1607
01:28:34,120 --> 01:28:38,000
Speaker 3: most encouraged about for the Bills going into this is

1608
01:28:38,040 --> 01:28:42,599
Speaker 3: how their defense is playing. I mean pretty much since

1609
01:28:42,640 --> 01:28:48,280
Speaker 3: week ten their defense with maybe with the exception of

1610
01:28:48,320 --> 01:28:50,519
Speaker 3: the run defense, which still isn't where it needs to be,

1611
01:28:51,320 --> 01:28:53,400
Speaker 3: but I would say every other aspect of their defense

1612
01:28:53,439 --> 01:28:56,800
Speaker 3: has played almost as well as the Broncos have. Because

1613
01:28:56,800 --> 01:28:59,479
Speaker 3: I've been crunching some numbers for our Bills by the

1614
01:28:59,560 --> 01:29:03,360
Speaker 3: numbers and we'll be discussing this on there later this week,

1615
01:29:04,760 --> 01:29:07,960
Speaker 3: Buffalo's defense has been pretty comparable to a lot of

1616
01:29:07,960 --> 01:29:11,240
Speaker 3: what Denver has done since Week ten, so down the

1617
01:29:11,280 --> 01:29:15,599
Speaker 3: stretch here they've been really good at buckling down again.

1618
01:29:15,800 --> 01:29:19,080
Speaker 3: The run defense still needs work, but besides that, everything

1619
01:29:19,080 --> 01:29:21,880
Speaker 3: else has been pretty good. And the Broncos aren't known

1620
01:29:21,920 --> 01:29:24,760
Speaker 3: as a team that runs the ball exceptionally well. They're

1621
01:29:24,800 --> 01:29:28,840
Speaker 3: sixteenth in the league in rushing interesting stuff. You're right,

1622
01:29:30,560 --> 01:29:32,840
Speaker 3: it's gonna be a great matchup. And they've been waiting

1623
01:29:32,840 --> 01:29:34,320
Speaker 3: on the Bills for a week and a half now,

1624
01:29:34,360 --> 01:29:36,599
Speaker 3: so we'll see if they've rested up.

1625
01:29:36,840 --> 01:29:37,280
Speaker 4: We'll see.

1626
01:29:37,520 --> 01:29:41,599
Speaker 3: I'd be hoping that they're rusty but could happen. I'll

1627
01:29:41,600 --> 01:29:43,439
Speaker 3: take it. That's it for us today. We'll see you

1628
01:29:43,479 --> 01:29:48,040
Speaker 3: tomorrow one
