00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:36,480
Speaker 1: This one Bills Live presented by Kalida Health. All Right,

00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 1: is well underway. Practice installs happening, walk through practices taking place,

4
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 1: and we'll have an injury update for you here shortly,

5
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,160
Speaker 1: along with a host of other info as we get

6
00:00:53,200 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 1: ready for Bills Steelers wild Card Weekend. Sorry, souper wild

7
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: Card Weekend. That only changed about two or three years

8
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: ago when they went to the When when they changed

9
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 1: the format to seven playoff teams, giving thereby giving them

10
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: three games on Sunday two on Saturday, it turned into

11
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: super wild Card Weekend.

12
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 2: Is that what it was?

13
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: I believe seven teams?

14
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:25,960
Speaker 2: Well, whatever, I like it. I've said a lot of

15
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 2: times Wildcard Weekend is the weekend. Yeah, because you got it.

16
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 2: Used to be they had two teams on the bye

17
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 2: so and the other two teams winners of the other

18
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 2: two games. First two games would go to the by

19
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 2: and those teams waiting on them after the buye would

20
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 2: just crush those teams. Now, so the divisional round of

21
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 2: the playoffs were always just a blowout, but the wild

22
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 2: card games were awesome. That's where the greatest comeback game

23
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 2: came from. You get all these great games, and last

24
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 2: year the jup sets too upside and Jacksonville comes back

25
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 2: from twenty eight down and wins as a perfect You

26
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 2: know all that the division went right, but still you

27
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 2: get some good games on these weekends, that is true.

28
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: And you see different kinds of teams on wild card weekend.

29
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: And what I mean by that is sometimes you will

30
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: see a team that was way out in front early

31
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: but then stumbled down the stretch and all of a

32
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: sudden they have to play the first weekend of playoff weekend.

33
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles, for example, who play Monday night. And then

34
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 1: you have other teams that were scraping and clawing the

35
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:38,239
Speaker 1: entire way just to get in, like the Packers for example,

36
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 1: well maybe even a certain extent the Bills.

37
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you say that about the Bills. They

38
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 2: were going from They might have been out last weekend.

39
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:48,679
Speaker 1: But you have the Bills and the Texans who eke

40
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 1: out division titles at the very end of the season.

41
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: And the Texans needed a team that they didn't even

42
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 1: play against to lose Jacksonville to win the division. So

43
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: they needed to win and get help from a division

44
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: rival to win the Division.

45
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 2: It's like, well, we all saw it, and when the

46
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 2: Bills broke the drought, they needed to win and then

47
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 2: had to sit there and watch that other game.

48
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 1: Bengals beat the Ravens. Yeah. Yeah, it was hard not

49
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 1: to think about that game walking into the stadium in

50
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: Miami last week. I even tweeted a picture of Kyle

51
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: Williams's touchdown run from that game, and I said, hard

52
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: not to think about this game walking into the stadium tonight.

53
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: Let's hope we get a similar result, and we did.

54
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 1: It was a one score victory. That game was twenty

55
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: two to sixteen back in twenty seventeen. This one was

56
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: twenty one to fourteen. Now, of course, the Bills didn't

57
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: need any help because they had to beat, you know,

58
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: the Dolphins just to win the division and stamp their

59
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: ticket to the playoffs. So still, in all though, it

60
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: was there was a little feeling of nostalgia as I

61
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: walked in there.

62
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, there was a lot of Kyle Williams clips flying around. Yeah.

63
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: Oh the pregame, Yeah, yeah, it wasn't for that game.

64
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: That was before a game. I can't remember which game

65
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: it was for great speech, Oh my god, he was

66
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: and he if you. I remember talking to Mike ah

67
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: Hyde about that. He goes, there's nobody better, there's nobody better.

68
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: Mike is like, he was ridiculous. He's like that guy

69
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: would make my hair stand up on the back of

70
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: my neck every week, every single week. It's like, everybody's

71
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: just clear the deck. Here comes Kyle. The craziest thing

72
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: is I talked to Kyle about it one time and

73
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: he says, I, I really don't prepare anything. I said, well,

74
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: how do you avoid repeating you know, similar ones? You've

75
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 1: been doing this for like five years, and he goes,

76
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: I don't know. He goes, something just pops in my

77
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: head and I run with it. And that's where we go.

78
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: Because you got to keep that fresh. You can't. You

79
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,479
Speaker 1: can't repeat stuff from the previous you know. Then you

80
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: got you got your teammate his hands in there, he's

81
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: all lamped up, and all of a sudden, it's like, hey,

82
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: we hear this two weeks ago.

83
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 2: This didn't work last last time. Let's go.

84
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: They start looking at each other. Yeah, you gotta have

85
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: you gotta have a fresh message every week. So yeah,

105
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 2: down there. Occasionally you'll see officials down there, like official

106
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 2: like the commissioner or a dignitary. Once in a while

107
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 2: we'll be allowed to go down there. But man, oh Man,

108
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 2: it's rare. The only people you see down there during

109
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,919
Speaker 2: the game that aren't working or is part of the

110
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 2: ownerships iner circle. That's it.

111
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: So let's quickly bring you the bill's practice updates, which

112
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:33,159
Speaker 1: are presented by Leecom Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine,

113
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,359
Speaker 1: and then we'll get out to Josh Allen, who's addressing

114
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 1: the media at the post practice podium. It begins with

115
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 1: the following players not participating in today's walk through session,

116
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 1: and it's basically everybody that got injured in last Sunday's game.

117
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: Gabe Davis with the knee injury, Rasul Douglas with the

118
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 1: knee injury, Tyrel Dodson with the shoulder injury, Tailor Wrapped

119
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: with the calf injury. None of them participated in the

120
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:04,839
Speaker 1: walk through practice, and then on a limited basis participating.

121
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: We're both Dion Dawkins who had that lacerated hand, and

122
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: ty Johnson, who is in concussion protocol but limited in

123
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 1: today's walk through practice. Now, the reason that's encouraging is

124
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: because you need to be in stage four of the

125
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: concussion protocol to be doing football related activities. He did

126
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: that today, So that is an encouraging sign. That's early

127
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: in the week too, right, So it's an encouraging sign

128
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: that he at least has a chance, you would think

129
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: to be out of concussion protocol by the end of

130
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: the week, but we all know that every case is different,

131
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 1: so we'll have to see how the rest of the

132
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: week goes and take it from there. This is why

133
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: you're glad you have somebody like Leonard Fournette on your

134
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 1: practice squad because you can turn to him and have

135
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: him up along with Latavius Murray and James Cook if

136
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: Ty Johnson can't get out of the protocol by the

137
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: end of the week. So that that is your update

138
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 1: on Bill's practice participation. We anticipate having the Wednesday injury

139
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: report out before we are off the air at three pm.

140
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: But for now, let's go to the post practice podium

141
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: where quarterback Josh Allen is addressing the media.

142
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 3: Sunday that the ball flating game was coming out here

143
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 3: ahead you to make it the best spend in a while.

144
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 4: Because that something that's you can replicate going into another game,

145
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 4: something you can definitely try to replicate, you know, just

146
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 4: obviously throughout the season, bumps and bruises here and there

147
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 4: and sometimes affecting mechanics and just trying to find what

148
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 4: fits best.

149
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 5: But I felt like this last week just.

150
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,559
Speaker 4: Mechanically felt as sound as I've ever been really throwing

151
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 4: the football.

152
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:48,559
Speaker 5: So again just making.

153
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 4: Sure we're practicing good practice habits, and coach Brady did

154
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 4: a good job last week of you know, we started

155
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 4: doing some individual drills again, filling the base, get back

156
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 4: to where needs to be, just being as balanced as

157
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 4: I can be in my in my throwing motion. It

158
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 4: felt felt good coming out of the hand. So just

159
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 4: got to continue practicing those habits.

160
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:09,199
Speaker 2: Building on that.

161
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 6: It's just week begins now.

162
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 2: I mean you go like you past.

163
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 4: Absolutely absolutely, and again that's that's you want to peek

164
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 4: at the right time. I think this this football team,

165
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 4: we we've still got our best ball to play, but

166
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 4: we're turning in the right direction, you know, and we're

167
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:27,199
Speaker 4: we're very fortunate.

168
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 5: To be playing another game.

169
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 4: There's a lot of a lot of teams that aren't

170
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 4: in the playoffs, a lot of guys that are you know,

171
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 4: not practicing today. So this is a very inspired group

172
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 4: right now. We just love that we're able to come

173
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 4: in here and and do what we love to do.

174
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 2: That's the players.

175
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 3: Getty went great, sounds like the forecast. You know it's early,

176
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:48,319
Speaker 3: but happen great.

177
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 5: Again.

178
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:53,319
Speaker 3: To take anything away from that experience last year, didn't

179
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 3: apply it to this week.

180
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 4: Getting ready, well, I mean we just got to be uh,

181
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 4: gotta be sound, you know, schematically and within our fundamentals.

182
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:05,439
Speaker 4: You know, the the win may move the ball a

183
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 4: little bit, but again having the experience that I do

184
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 4: in the stadium and and knowing you know, wind patterns,

185
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 4: what they will expect them to be at least, just

186
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 4: having a good sense of that, and again just finding

187
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,319
Speaker 4: ways to get our playmakers the ball and the outside.

188
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 4: You know, typically it's gonna be uh with whether like

189
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 4: this a game that both teams are gonna run the ball.

190
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 5: And it's going to be very possession limited.

191
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 4: So we got to make these possessions counts.

192
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:43,079
Speaker 1: Maybe you can be taken away.

193
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:43,199
Speaker 2: I don't.

194
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 5: I don't think so.

195
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:48,199
Speaker 4: I think, you know, scheme wise, I wouldn't say they're

196
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 4: totally different from that.

197
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 5: Now.

198
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 4: Personnel, they're a little bit different, but they're they're playing

199
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 4: at a very high level right now.

200
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 5: I know they they ruled wide out, but that doesn't mean.

201
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,959
Speaker 4: We're we're in the clear. They they've got a very

202
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 4: good defensive line. You know, one of the better players

203
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 4: interior that's played this game in Cam Hayward. He's a

204
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,680
Speaker 4: he's an animal. I Smith on the left edge, he's

205
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 4: he's playing as high level as anybody in the league

206
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:17,839
Speaker 4: right now. So we're gonna have our hands full. We

207
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 4: got to make sure that we have a good game plan,

208
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,439
Speaker 4: we're communicating well, and you know, it's winner go home

209
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:24,199
Speaker 4: whether day.

210
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 2: Agmi watched Popular Love nineteens a story line a lot

211
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 2: of the time, and it's basically the partly you said.

212
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 7: All the receptions really are like some don't mean any

213
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 7: big some are big on what your reaction.

214
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 2: You don't what.

215
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm just I'm trying to do whatever i can

216
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 4: do to help this team win. At the same time,

217
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 4: I don't want to throw them, you know, that's it's

218
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 4: not fun looking at the the statute and Seene in

219
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 4: her sps, whether it's before the half on a hell

220
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 4: Mary temp or long fourth down like it's still still

221
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:12,319
Speaker 4: doesn't feel great. And interceptions. Sometimes I just momentum. You know,

222
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 4: it's something that you can't see, but something you can feel.

223
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 4: And sometimes it gives them momentum, and again, don't wanna,

224
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 4: don't want to limit our chances to score points. And

225
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 4: I've done that a couple of times throughout the season,

226
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 4: and you know that's that's never any fun. And you know,

227
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 4: I guess it's part of the game. You're gonna have

228
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 4: a bad throw here there, You're gonna have a.

229
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 5: Tip here there.

230
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 4: But the ones that you know, uh, you make bad

231
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:35,839
Speaker 4: decisions on, you know, we got to find a way

232
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 4: to you know, I gotta find a way to limit

233
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 4: those and not not have those anymore because that could

234
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 4: come back to bite us. And I don't want to

235
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 4: be the reason why.

236
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 2: Steff goes into a to a game.

237
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 8: You know what goes into having a patience to win

238
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:49,439
Speaker 8: the game?

239
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I think just trusting the guys around you,

240
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 4: understanding the flow of the game. Each each game has

241
00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 4: its own little twist, its own little flare, its own situation,

242
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 4: and that you have to figure out as it's unfolding.

243
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 4: And the more that you play, you feel like the

244
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 4: more comfortable you can get in those type of situations.

245
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:12,959
Speaker 4: So it's it's being comfortable and just again trusting the

246
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 4: ten guys on the field with you. And trusting the

247
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:16,839
Speaker 4: game plan, what coaches call them and just try and

248
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:18,679
Speaker 4: execute it at the highest level that you can.

249
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 5: Large after the game, the game you talked about.

250
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 2: The hot conversation has had, you know around the biby.

251
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 4: What do you think was the biggest takeaway from those

252
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:28,440
Speaker 4: Like when do you how do.

253
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 1: You think they were able to help?

254
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 8: Like what did you do?

255
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 4: Uh? Just just our approach, mentality and and the energy

256
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 4: that we're bringing. So again just relying on on the

257
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,679
Speaker 4: veteran leadership that we have in our locker room. You know,

258
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 4: like I said to start this, being fortunate and being

259
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 4: happy that we're here working today. And I felt like

260
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 4: throughout the whole season, even even when we were six

261
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,679
Speaker 4: and six, the energy in this building was we get

262
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 4: to work today, we get to play football today.

263
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 5: And that was such a positive of light.

264
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 4: Guys love being in this facility, love getting treatment, you know,

265
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:06,839
Speaker 4: love hanging out in the locker room with each other.

266
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 4: And you can you can feel that when you walk

267
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 4: into our locker room.

268
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 1: The top well eleven teams that are in the playoffs.

269
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 2: Her straps are top.

270
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 1: A lot of team third down conversion or the playoffs offense.

271
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 7: Only four of the top ten.

272
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 5: Don't make any sense to you.

273
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 2: Defense wins the championships.

274
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 4: Well, I mean I think that that does show. I

275
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 4: mean you can you can look at it from both

276
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 4: angles right where you're converting at a high high rate

277
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 4: on third down, but those defenses aren't stopping you. So

278
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 4: it's gonna take a good defense to stop the offenses

279
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 4: that are left in the playoffs right now. And I

280
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 4: think that the defense that plays the best, you know,

281
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 4: along with obviously the offensive, the team that plays the

282
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 4: best is gonna gonna win game shery in the playoffs.

283
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 4: But I guess you can. That's kind of a double

284
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 4: edged sword there, that said.

285
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 2: The offense shown besides to go for it not before

286
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 2: they want to start it the one before.

287
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, No, I mean it's stills a lot of

288
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 4: offense or a lot of confidence in our offense, and

289
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 4: you know, to have that trust in that type of

290
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 4: situation where you know, we don't get it that they've

291
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 4: got great field position. But I think our our defense

292
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 4: too like trusting that's that's in sense, trusting them that

293
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 4: they can get the job done too, and no matter

294
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 4: what situation it is. So it's that's complimentary football right there.

295
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 4: And we're gonna need that moving forward.

296
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 9: You said that this team feels like it's peaking at

297
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 9: the right time.

298
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 5: What's leading to that?

299
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 9: Like, do you can you put a finger on kind

300
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 9: of why y'all are peaking at.

301
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 1: The right time.

302
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 4: I think it's just the love and the energy that

303
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 4: we have for each other right now, the trust and

304
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 4: communication that we have and practice and throughout the week,

305
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 4: within our game plans, and obviously you're seeing guys make

306
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 4: make plays on the field and everybody like, again, we're

307
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 4: we're happy to see our guys make plays Like there's

308
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 4: nobody nobody not happy. You know, we're rooting each other

309
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 4: on with each other's biggest fans in this in this

310
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 4: locker room, and again, we just we want to win

311
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 4: football games. And that's that's the main sense and the

312
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 4: main field that we have in this facility right now

313
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 4: is do whatever it takes to get it done.

314
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 9: Sean, it's said that the Steelers are the most physical

315
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 9: team that you guys will face.

316
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 5: I know, week to week things change.

317
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 9: How does the mentality change though, going from Miami's speed

318
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 9: to a more not saying that Miami's not physical going

319
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 9: into a Steelers team, whether all these things, do you

320
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 9: have to mentally prepare differently?

321
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 4: I mean that's that's that's playoff football, I guess, right.

322
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 4: And then especially in the Northeast, you know, this is

323
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 4: two two teams that are used to this type of weather,

324
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 4: and the game plans are going to be probably slightly

325
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 4: different than what we're both used to. But again it's

326
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 4: whoever can come out on Sunday and execute the best.

327
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 6: Love that in terms of preparation for you, guys have

328
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 6: been largely pretty productive and marginal or bad weather situation.

329
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 6: I know, I remember, I think it was before that

330
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 6: New England playoff game was more cool than everything we've

331
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 6: talked about, Like have you.

332
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 2: Got the gloves or warmers or whatever the gear.

333
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 6: Is that you're gonna ware? Like is there? Does that

334
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 6: help in the preparation going into the game, Lay?

335
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, Yeah, We've got the best equipment guys in equipment

336
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:26,239
Speaker 4: stuff and really in the league. In my opinion, our

337
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 4: guys work hard, they do things the right way. They're

338
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 4: already prepared for situation like this, and again, we feel

339
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:35,360
Speaker 4: like we've been in these types of games and weather conditions,

340
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,679
Speaker 4: so you know, we don't focus on that at all

341
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,159
Speaker 4: because we don't have to because because our equipment is app.

342
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 10: So good, film, so active, when a gift onto the field.

343
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 4: Game day, in practice, I mean, his habits are awesome,

344
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 4: making sure he's catching and tucking the ball in and

345
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:56,680
Speaker 4: finishing the plays and practice, he's in the in the

346
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 4: strength room, you know, uh, working on his body and

347
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 4: hot up cold tub and making sure that he's physically

348
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:06,399
Speaker 4: able to go because he's taking a few hits this season.

349
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 4: And you know, as a rookie, to have this type

350
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 4: of season as long as it is, you know, I

351
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,119
Speaker 4: don't feel like you hit that rookie wall at any point,

352
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 4: which is which is pretty cool to see from a rookie.

353
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:22,880
Speaker 2: LPA released it's All Pro team voted on by the players.

354
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 5: No Bills players made the list.

355
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 2: What's your reaction to that?

356
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 5: Go Bill's.

357
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:35,879
Speaker 1: All right, Well, that's rather interesting answer.

358
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:36,120
Speaker 2: There.

359
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:41,359
Speaker 1: No Bills, as you heard the reporters say, appeared on

360
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 1: the All Pro team this year, which was just released today.

361
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,159
Speaker 2: It's the Pro it's the players around the league All Pro.

362
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 5: Yeah.

363
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 2: The other All Pro, which is done by the media

364
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 2: man the Associated Prosociated Press, is the one that is real.

365
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,159
Speaker 1: Right, But you want the approval of your peers, and

366
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,680
Speaker 1: that did not happen. So it's it's put that little

367
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 1: chip over here, right on this shoulder.

368
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 2: It's hard to argue with the guys on the on

369
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,679
Speaker 2: the list too, I mean, good, great, goodness, gracious. I mean,

370
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 2: Lamar is the quarterback. That's fine. You got Cede Lamb

371
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:19,880
Speaker 2: and Tyreek Hill. Travis Kelsey's the tight end, which hmm okay.

372
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:21,879
Speaker 5: Might be.

373
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 1: I mean he didn't have as productive a year as he.

374
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 2: But a lot of this when you talk about players,

375
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,159
Speaker 2: if they take it seriously, which I think some of

376
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:32,239
Speaker 2: them really do, maybe not all of them, but they

377
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,360
Speaker 2: go with the guy that they worry about the most.

378
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:36,160
Speaker 2: Maybe not the one that had the great game against,

379
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 2: but the one that they had to game plan for

380
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:39,200
Speaker 2: and the one they had to prepare for, and the

381
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,120
Speaker 2: one that had to impersonate and practice, and the one

382
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 2: that they've seen on film crushing other teams. All that

383
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:47,640
Speaker 2: stuff goes into it, so it's hard. Certainly now there's

384
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 2: no doubt Josh instead all these guys, it's a huge, like,

385
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 2: really seriously, watch me this week kind of thing. No question,

386
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 2: it's fuel. I mean they're throwing, they're throwing shovelfuls of

387
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 2: coal on the fire right now, but still it's hard

388
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 2: to argue with the guys that are actually on the list.

389
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 1: You heard Josh Allen refer to a comment that Sean

390
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:15,400
Speaker 1: McDermott made. Sean McDermott and when he was asked about

391
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 1: the Steelers earlier today at his press conference, essentially said,

392
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:23,159
Speaker 1: this is the most physical team we will play this season.

393
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 1: And he basically said, we have to be prepared to

394
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:32,400
Speaker 1: play our most physical game this week. The mindset started

395
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:35,920
Speaker 1: on Monday, and if he said, if we don't bring

396
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:39,119
Speaker 1: the physicality to this football game, we don't have a

397
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 1: chance of winning. So and I think we also know

398
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 1: that the weather is going to probably play a factor.

399
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 1: We know that the Steelers are one of the most

400
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 1: run heavy teams in the league. They run at fifty

401
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:57,440
Speaker 1: nine percent on first down alone, that's number one, number two.

402
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:01,639
Speaker 1: Since Week ten, the Bills lead the league in rushing

403
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:06,439
Speaker 1: attempts per game. It's at almost thirty six per game now.

404
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 1: Josh obviously is a big part of that. His runs

405
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 1: have gone up precipitously since Week ten when Joe Brady

406
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 1: took over his offensive coordinator.

407
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 2: We know that.

408
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 1: We also know there was a super run heavy game

409
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 1: against Dallas. They also were pretty much fifty to fifty

410
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 1: against the La Chargers, so their run attempts have gone

411
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 1: up a lot in the last month or so, and

412
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 1: it looks like, based on the weather forecast, that may

413
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 1: have to continue. You have the weather forecast here, at

414
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,119
Speaker 1: least as it stands right now. We know Steve that

415
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 1: usually it's not until about two days out where meteorologists

416
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 1: feel really confident about the kind of conditions we're gonna get.

417
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 1: But where does it stand right now?

418
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 2: It's looking at like single digits, twenty five mile per

419
00:21:54,800 --> 00:22:02,120
Speaker 2: hour sustained wins, fifty mile an hour gusts and light snow. Yeah,

420
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:05,440
Speaker 2: that's it's cold and it's wet, and it's windy and

421
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 2: that and like this win. This stadium high Mark is

422
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:14,119
Speaker 2: has always been notorious for the wind really affects it,

423
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 2: particularly in that scoreboard end on the on the visitor side.

424
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:19,680
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, it's like a wall. It's like a

425
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 2: solid object over there when it kicks up. So that's

426
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 2: it's going to be a factor. Plan accordingly for your

427
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 2: viewing pleasure and for your pregame superstitious pleasure, whatever whatever

428
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:37,680
Speaker 2: it is you need to do to for a win game.

429
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 1: Before we get to our phone calls, we want to

430
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:43,399
Speaker 1: quickly go around the NFL presented by Kalida Health, the

431
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 1: official healthcare system of the Buffalo Bills, and there are

432
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 1: Bills related news and notes around the NFL. As we know,

433
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 1: there are coaching jobs open and the Charge and there's

434
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 1: GM jobs open as well. The Chargers have requested to

435
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:03,440
Speaker 1: enter view Bill's Director of Player Personnel, Terrence Gray for

436
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 1: their vacant general manager position. They have also requested to

437
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:13,880
Speaker 1: interview former Bills defensive coordinator Leslie Frasier for their vacant

438
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 1: head coaching job. So some interesting notes going out on

439
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 1: the West Coast concerning vacant GM and head coaching positions.

440
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 1: That's the nuts and bolts of the information we wanted

441
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 1: to get to you from around the NFL. Topic of

442
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:36,399

Speaker 1: as follows, what encourages you the most about the Bills

Speaker 1: offense since Joe Brady has taken over as offensive coordinator.

00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:47,200

Speaker 1: lot about how much the run game may have to

452
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:08,159
Speaker 1: carry this team in a game where weather and wind

453
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 1: is a major issue. And in the second hour of

454
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:15,439

Speaker 1: Games getting away the sub thirty two degrees when.

00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:57,440
Speaker 2: The temperature is under not thirty two forty five. I mean, dude,

00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 2: we play golf in forty five weather up here. You

00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 2: think I'm kidding. We don't. We play golf forty five

473
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 2: degree weather in Buffalo two is oh to four fifty

Speaker 2: seventy one point eight passer rating. They're in trouble.

476
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're also in trouble because the injuries too. They

477
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:23,160
Speaker 1: lost four more players in the game against the Bills,

478
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 1: and Ginkle's on ir now. Yeah, it's bad.

479
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh.

480
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 1: And his backup Cameron Good also got hurt. He broke

481
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:32,400
Speaker 1: his leg on the punt return by Deontay Hardy because

482
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 1: a teammate of his cam flying into his leg when

483
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:36,440
Speaker 1: it was planted on the ground snapped it.

484
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 2: There are people coming out of Kansas City saying, listen,

485
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:43,440
Speaker 2: it says Saturday, January thirteenth, at night, it's going to

486
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 2: be minus five, mostly cloudy, very cold, obviously, with the

487
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:52,400
Speaker 2: temperature approaching the record low of minus ten said in nineteen.

488
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,640
Speaker 1: That's temperature seventy nine. That's temperature, not windshill.

489
00:25:54,920 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 2: That's temperature approaching the record of minus ten feet and

490
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 2: that's gonna feel minus twelve even it.

491
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:07,399
Speaker 1: Does not even much wind. All right, let's jump on

492
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 1: some phone calls. Here at eight o three five point fifty,

493
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:11,359
Speaker 1: we go to Tom on the west side. What do

494
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:13,919
Speaker 1: you got Tom, Good.

495
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 8: Afternoon, guys. You know, I'd love to sit down and

496
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 8: have a beer with you or drink of your choice. Okay,

497
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:26,359
Speaker 8: But other than that, speaking about the weather, I'm glad

498
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:30,640
Speaker 8: that Kansas City is gonna have worse weather than Buffalo

499
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,399
Speaker 8: and Cleveland ought to feel grateful they're going down to

500
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:38,120
Speaker 8: Houston to play. But as far as the game goes Sunday,

501
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:42,119
Speaker 8: with the conditions we're gonna have, it's exactly what you

502
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 8: guys were saying. It's gonna be running on both sides

503
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 8: of the football. It's run and stop the run. So

504
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 8: we need to put our biggest bodies out there. I

505
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 8: wouldn't rush Davis back out there if you don't have to,

506
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:58,399
Speaker 8: because you're gonna need blockers. So I would go with

507
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 8: a lot at twelve or thirteen personnel like Pittsburgh does.

508
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 8: You can put going them up on the line, or

509
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:11,879
Speaker 8: an extra defensive tackle up or offensive tack drove defensive

510
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:14,640
Speaker 8: player on the offensive line. Yeah, here's what I mean.

511
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, here's the problem. The sooner or later you're gonna

512
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:19,200
Speaker 2: get into a third and twelve and then what he

513
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 2: you know, you can't you can't do that.

514
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 1: Not only that, Kay Davis is one of their best

515
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:24,719
Speaker 1: blocking receivers. That's why he plays so much.

516
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:26,880
Speaker 2: That's why. Yeah, that's exactly why gave play so much.

517
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 2: What else you got, Tom, Tom?

518
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 1: We let Tom go go get to other people. Yeah,

519
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 1: the Steelers play a lot of twelve and thirteen. Tom

520
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 1: is right about that. You remember the rookie tight end

521
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 1: that they drafted out of Georgia. Remember the huge kid

522
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,360
Speaker 1: Darnell Washington. Oh yeah, yeah, six seven two sixty four,

523
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,199
Speaker 1: and uh, he is very much a blocking tight end

524
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 1: for that.

525
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 2: If I was six seven, two sixty four, when I'd

526
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 2: still be playing.

527
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, right now, at age sixteen, that's.

528
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 2: Right, I'd still be going.

529
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 1: Okay, let's uh, let's go down over the state line

530
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:54,920
Speaker 1: to Brad in Pittsburgh.

531
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 2: What do you got, Brad?

532
00:27:57,040 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 7: Hey, thanks for taking my call. I just wanted to

533
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 7: say how excited I am for the game. I've lived

534
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 7: in Pittsburgh since two thousand and one, and my whole

535
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 7: family's still in Buffalo and since then, I've probably gone

536
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 7: to every single Bill Steelers matchup, and they've provided so

537
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 7: many great memories, some heartbreaking ones, and I'm looking forward

538
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:25,640
Speaker 7: to this weekend. I'm planning to drive up either Thursday Friday,

539
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:29,160
Speaker 7: weather depending and see if I can get in the game.

540
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:32,160
Speaker 7: But the trash talk has been going crazy over here

541
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:36,680
Speaker 7: all my friends, family, co workers. It's getting a little

542
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 7: intent and I need Buffalo to pull away just so

543
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 7: I can go back home and and rub it in

544
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 7: my wife's face.

545
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 1: Oh wow, you're a house divided. Wow, oh boy?

546
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, yeah, And.

547
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 7: So I'm really looking forward to it. And I've watched

548
00:28:56,560 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 7: the entire season here in Pittsburgh and surrounded by Steeler fans,

549
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 7: my in laws, and just as each day goes by,

550
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 7: things get ramped up a little bit more and more,

551
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 7: and I can't focus on work anymore. I'm like ready

552
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 7: to go to Buffalo today.

553
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're you're not alone, Brad, You're not alone. I'm

554
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 1: sorry we got to cut you loose because we are

555
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 1: up against the break here.

556
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 2: Yeah.

557
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 1: Hopefully the Bills can bless you with bragging rights for

558
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 1: the next calendar year. Yeah, exactly, because that would be

559
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 1: sweet justice for a man in the minority. You're right,

560
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 1: Steve always says you are a pilgrim in an unholy land.

561
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 2: Right, and we should all look everybody should be looking

562
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 2: forward to. This is what you know the whole year,

563
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 2: Brownie and I've been sitting in these two chairs talking

564
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 2: about this, and this is what we're this is what

565
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 2: it's led up to. So let's all do it for

566
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 2: Let's enjoy it while it's here. I don't know how

567
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 2: this game is going to go. It could be it

568
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 2: could be beyond our hopes and dreams, or it could

569
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 2: be catastrophic. No, but let's go. Let's let's let's look

570
00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:59,840

593
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 10: Uh, I got you know what I was doing this morning?

594

595
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 10: I was down the street picking up trash and it

596
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 10: blown away from my house.

597
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, I had to pick up because yeah, exactly,

598
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 2: I had to pick up somebody third with gloves and

599
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 2: boots on. And and I'm like, Tuesdays your trash day.

600
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 1: This morning?

601
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 2: Running around yeah before and leave it out overnight. Yeah,

602
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 2: they tell me, yeah, we did it yesterday, but yeah,

603
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:45,719
Speaker 2: just spread out. I get it. It happens.

604
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 1: Wind is supposed to be a factor on Sunday. Therm

605
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 1: and the word has already gone out that this could

606
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:56,480
Speaker 1: be a run heavy football game. Because of that, I'm

607
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 1: gonna break some numbers off on you go. First, one is,

608
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 1: since week ten, the Bills lead the league with thirty

609
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 1: five point eight rushing attempts per game, lead the league

610
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 1: since Week ten, and that's pretty much since Joe Brady

611
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 1: took over a little bit after after started. And then

612
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 1: we know the Steelers like to run it a ton

613
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 1: as well. They run it fifty nine percent on first down.

614
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 1: That's the highest number in the league. Your thoughts about

615
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 1: these two teams mashing against one another if the weather

616
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 1: kind of demands.

617
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 10: It, well, I do know that, you know, it'll probably

618
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 10: a heavy dose of it, could be cooked, could be

619
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 10: for a net too, protocols out of the concussion concussion protocol.

620
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 10: So but you know that's what kind of Pittsburg has

621
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 10: built all too. Yeah, in these last couple of years,

622
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 10: really with drafting Naji Harris first round pick two or

623
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:00,120
Speaker 10: three years.

624
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 1: Ago, I got this Jalen Warren kids burst.

625
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 10: Oklahoma State and Mason Rudolph Oklahoma State. I mean, so

626
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 10: the dynamics for them in the last couple of weeks

627
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 10: kind of changed because Mason was throwing the football. He

628
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:16,959
Speaker 10: was getting the ball of Pickings and all the other

629
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 10: wide receivers. So but when you when you think about

630
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 10: Pittsburgh football, you think about other like this and running

631
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 10: the football. I mean, going all the way back to

632
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 10: Franco Harrison, Rocky Block.

633
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 1: Have you have you seen enough of Warren to kind

634
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 1: of have a feel for what his skill sets like

635
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 1: or what you think of him.

636
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 10: I think all his skill sets are very very nice.

637
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 2: Catch. He can catch the ball out of backfield.

638
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:42,160
Speaker 10: He's a nice I wouldn't say I would say above

639
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 10: average runner, above average runner. And uh and what I've

640
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 10: seen from him, I've seen from Cook last week and

641
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:52,520
Speaker 10: two picking up blitzes, picking.

642
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:55,360
Speaker 2: Up blitzok work and he's gotten better. He's gotten he's

643
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 2: gotten a lot better. You don't. You're not going to

644
00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 2: hope they don't, You're right.

645
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 10: So with him better as pass protection, now you get

646
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 10: the decent defensive coordinator. One, hey, wait, do I do

647
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 10: I take a chance or do I play it safe?

648
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:12,840
Speaker 10: And maybe him coming out of the back for.

649
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 2: The problem is I mean, when you're playing a beat

650
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 2: up Dolphins defense and you can leave Cook in to

651
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,320
Speaker 2: pick him, it's not playing the playing the Pittsburgh Steelers

652
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:23,239
Speaker 2: defense right there, three to four. They can do a

653
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 2: lot of more things moth front. We'll see though. Certainly

654
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:31,400
Speaker 2: he's willing, which is, you know, ninety percent of the

655
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:33,480
Speaker 2: battle you can get. The guys say, yeah, he looks

656
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 2: like he's into. He's gonna do it when you get

657
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:37,759
Speaker 2: to these playoff games too. Even the guys that are

658
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:42,480
Speaker 2: like the slow motor guys, Yeah right, they find they

659
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 2: weather like this, they turn it off. Well yeah, but

660
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:47,080
Speaker 2: they turn it onto. Everybody turns it on because say,

661
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:48,759
Speaker 2: all right, you know, got through the whole season.

662
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 5: Here we go.

663
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:52,880
Speaker 2: Everybody turns it up, even the guys who don't try normally,

664
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 2: like try hard, you know, like somebody who's ever replacing

665
00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:57,359
Speaker 2: the TJ.

666
00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:01,440
Speaker 10: Watt, which I mean obviously right, you want to go

667
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 10: out and play against the best, and I hate look

668
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:05,840
Speaker 10: as a guy who's right at one hundred sacks almost

669
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:09,440
Speaker 10: in six years elite probably should have won a defensive.

670
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 2: Player in the year at least three times.

671
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:13,239
Speaker 10: At this point, he's an elite football player, you know,

672
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 10: And that's the ticket you want to pay for and

673
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:17,239
Speaker 10: have that and go out and watch that guy play.

674
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 2: So but I guarantee you whoever taking his spot, he's probably.

675
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:23,319
Speaker 10: Gonna end up making some place because that's just kind

676
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:25,920
Speaker 10: of how their defense is built. You can plug one

677
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:28,880
Speaker 10: like TJ is the guy, but if you plug another

678
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 10: guy somewhere else, he'll end up making a special player

679
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 10: doing something for that defense. Because that's how Mike Tomlin

680
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:36,560
Speaker 10: in that organization, that's how they play defense.

681
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, he's yeah, he's not gonna be a stiff,

682
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 2: no so, but he's not gonna be TJ Watt either.

683
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:43,400
Speaker 3: No.

684
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 2: And it'll be interesting to see what they do schematically

685
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:47,919
Speaker 2: if they feel like they got to send extra people,

686
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 2: if they do zone blitz a little bit more, send

687
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 2: five guys instead of four and drop back and have

688
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 2: Josh trying to pick out which zone is gonna be thin,

689
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:59,800
Speaker 2: you know, and that kind of thing. It really a

690
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:03,080
Speaker 2: tactical game now, I think, more so for the Pittsburgh defense.

691
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:04,759
Speaker 2: Now the TJ's out, they're gonna have to start thinking.

692
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 2: And then they got the safety thing going on with

693
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:11,040
Speaker 2: Minka Fitzpatrick being maybe back in and Marcus Peterson is

694
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:16,200
Speaker 2: what is it? Patrick Peterson? Patrick Peterson back in there.

695
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:18,200
Speaker 2: He's been going back and forth.

696
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:21,240
Speaker 1: Yes, and they moved Patrick him in safety.

697
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 2: They moved him back to safety. He's getting Actually, you know,

698
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 2: the guy can play, so I thought he was. I

699
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:28,759
Speaker 2: think this is going to be a really tactic man.

700
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 2: I think there's going to be a tactical, tactically fun

701
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 2: game to dissect and take note of. But but I

702
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 2: do think.

703
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:39,840
Speaker 10: I mean, we have the number one weapon on the

704
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 10: on our field and it's on our side, and that's

705
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 10: Josh Allen. And how he's going to play. What are

706
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:47,319
Speaker 10: you going to do it You're gonna put a spy

707
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:48,880
Speaker 10: on him or what are you going to do? Because

708
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:50,920
Speaker 10: you know, we haven't played Pittsburgh a lot.

709
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:52,279
Speaker 2: I think we're going to play him a couple of

710
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 2: times once a year for two or three years. And

711
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:57,839
Speaker 2: they crushed him in the preseason. The Pittsburgh Steelers beat

712
00:36:57,920 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 2: him up bad here.

713
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 1: Well that was that was that was part of the

714
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:03,640
Speaker 1: that preseason game.

715
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:05,280
Speaker 2: This last preseason game was in Pittsburgh.

716
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:07,839
Speaker 1: I distinctly it was here.

717
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was here. Yeah.

718
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:12,359
Speaker 10: And I'm gonna tell you something with that game though,

719
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:15,040
Speaker 10: even though it was a preseason game, Mike Tama had

720
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:18,759
Speaker 10: those boys ready because the year before they loved them

721
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 10: up pretty good. So that's what I'm saying when you

722
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:25,239
Speaker 10: now you can talk about how bad Pittsburgh defense has been.

723
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:28,719
Speaker 10: I mean, Office has been throughout the year, not scoring points, last.

724
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:31,440
Speaker 1: And whatever it was, But Pittsburgh, I'm not losing my mind.

725
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:34,680
Speaker 10: You're not really sure, But let me tell you Tomblin

726
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:37,879
Speaker 10: had a team ready for that preseason game. Just comes

727
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 10: the following year. What Buffalo did to death, He's going

728
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 10: to have them ready for this too. Seventeen years of

729
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:44,479
Speaker 10: over five hundred in a row.

730
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:48,080
Speaker 1: Right, It's it's something to marvel at. It is at

731
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 1: this day and age in this league was as competitive

732
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:53,239
Speaker 1: as it is. I want to talk to you about

733
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:59,080
Speaker 1: some technique here THEURM. The Steelers lead the league or

734
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:01,560
Speaker 1: right at the top of the league enforced fumbles with

735
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:05,440
Speaker 1: nineteen and they use that peanut punch a lot so

736
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:09,279
Speaker 1: last week. Yeah, and they're making it work. Yeah, So

737
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 1: maybe just walk through high and tight here, right, like

738
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:16,239
Speaker 1: for the backs and ball carriers. Like it's not just

739
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 1: the backs, they'll punch it out of a receiver's and

740
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:21,560
Speaker 1: yards after catch. So maybe just talk to me about

741
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:24,279
Speaker 1: if you're a ball carrier, how do you have to

742
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:26,440
Speaker 1: carry that to try to prevent that? As best you

743
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:28,480
Speaker 1: can obviously gonna cover up when guys close in, but.

744
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:30,960
Speaker 10: Yeah, iviously, and I think you got to be aware

745
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,080
Speaker 10: of the situation and where you're at on the football

746
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 10: field too.

747
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:34,840
Speaker 2: I mean, if you're.

748
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:39,040
Speaker 10: Somebody grabbing you down low by the knees, you know what,

749
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 10: go down, Just go down, don't try to get that

750
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 10: extra yard.

751
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:43,840
Speaker 2: And because you know these guys are coming.

752
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:46,520
Speaker 10: Right, you know these guys are guy two and three

753
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:48,799
Speaker 10: are coming. And if they got the one guy that's

754
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:51,799
Speaker 10: got your wrap, got your wrap, then you know they're

755
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 10: gonna try to punch it out. And so yeah, I

756
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:57,320
Speaker 10: mean there's I mean, you know, you're trying to get yards,

757
00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:00,360
Speaker 10: you're trying to make plays, and sometimes you see that

758
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:02,239
Speaker 10: opportunity to be hey, I just got to go down

759
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:03,839
Speaker 10: because protect the ball.

760
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 2: They're gonna be doing it the entire football game.

761
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:08,840
Speaker 10: Like you said, the DBS do it to the wide receivers,

762
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:11,239
Speaker 10: the running backs, the tight end. They do it to everybody,

763
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 10: and so you have to be aware. It's that mentality

764
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:17,799
Speaker 10: that they have. It's the game tackling that they will

765
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:20,759
Speaker 10: call it having two, three, four, It's many guys as

766
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:23,319
Speaker 10: you possibly can around the football and have with one

767
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 10: guy or maybe two guys just punch it out. But

768
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:29,840
Speaker 10: you know we obviously our guys have to be protected

769
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:33,239
Speaker 10: of that. And you know, when you can't get this,

770
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:35,520
Speaker 10: just cover it up, Just cover it up best you can.

771
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:37,840
Speaker 2: And this is gonna come down to as well. I

772
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 2: mean we talk about you're gonna have to hand it

773
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:41,279
Speaker 2: off and both these teams run unt a ton on

774
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:44,400
Speaker 2: first down and sooner or later you're gonna have to

775
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:48,160
Speaker 2: back up and throw it. Yeah, and Josh is you know,

776
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:50,480
Speaker 2: you live in it. It's easier to throw it in

777
00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:53,880
Speaker 2: this stuff when you do it. And h and Pittsburgh's

778
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 2: not that weather wise. I mean, it's not gonna be

779
00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:57,960
Speaker 2: scary for them to come up here and play in

780
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:01,719
Speaker 2: these conditions. No talk about what it takes in a

781
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 2: bad weather game like this to be successful throwing the football,

782
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:10,239
Speaker 2: because we were part of some games where they did.

783
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:11,200
Speaker 2: You know, you got it done.

784
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:14,640
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean obviously when you have weather like this,

785
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:20,480
Speaker 10: everything's gonna be shorten. What I mean, even even with

786
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:23,879
Speaker 10: Josh and the cannon that he has, I'm still gonna

787
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:27,640
Speaker 10: try and throw a deep. He just has a cannon.

788
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:29,880
Speaker 10: And you know what, the DB's are not running as

789
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:32,239
Speaker 10: fast as they normally would be running. Hey, and the

790
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 10: offensive guy knows where he's going. If he's going on

791
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:36,719
Speaker 10: a nine route and Josh can get him that rounde,

792
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:38,359
Speaker 10: he can do a couple of things off the line

793
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:40,680
Speaker 10: of scrimmage from five yards to ten yards to get

794
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 10: that DV to think it.

795
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:43,759
Speaker 2: Well, man, he's gonna run a route. You give a

796
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:46,480
Speaker 2: stomp move, he's gonna he'll stop his feet well much

797
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:49,239
Speaker 2: so much like Jalen Ramsey did against you know again

798
00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 2: with the Miami Dolphins, they play that they missed with

799
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:53,640
Speaker 2: Stephan Diggs and Josh. When they give it down, Steph

800
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:58,359
Speaker 2: gives him that little chimmy and Jalen's standing there. Yeah,

801
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 2: and so yeah, the problem is the other end. When

802
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:04,560
Speaker 2: you throw that put that ball up in the air

803
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 2: in twenty mile an hour wins. It isn't gonna go

804
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 2: where you think it's gonna go. Yeah, that's the problem.

805
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:13,440
Speaker 2: But I'm with you. I think you'll see more hook routes.

806
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:16,480
Speaker 2: You can see something where you're gonna where you're gonna get.

807
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:18,920
Speaker 2: You know, the ball just gunned right on the guy

808
00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:23,640
Speaker 2: right in zone coverage, that kind of thing you shoulder, Yeah, yes.

809
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:29,120
Speaker 10: Haven't seen that, No, Yeah, that's yeah. I mean we

810
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:32,360
Speaker 10: saw it earlier with Steph and then all of a

811
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 10: sudden it just disappeared. Its kind of disappeared. But those

812
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:37,440
Speaker 10: guys haven't I mean, thank god, this was the one

813
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:39,840
Speaker 10: that connected on. I mean, it's been plenty more what

814
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:42,360
Speaker 10: they should have and because we just haven't, we just

815
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 10: weren't doing that a lot.

816
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 2: At the end of the season. How different would the

817
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:49,400
Speaker 2: narrative been about the Miami game If Steph hits that

818
00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:53,280
Speaker 2: long pass eight and James Cook pulls in that corner

819
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:57,880
Speaker 2: route in the touchdown, that whole narrative about the Bills

820
00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:01,439
Speaker 2: would be. People would be you know this, this place

821
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:03,960
Speaker 2: would be on fire. I mean they would be like,

822
00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:06,080
Speaker 2: let's go. I mean it should have been thirty five

823
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:08,719
Speaker 2: or forty. It might be better. It's not, though, you know,

824
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:11,040
Speaker 2: because now you get all the bright lights turn on.

825
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:13,600
Speaker 2: You know, the spotlights on Buffalo is being the favorite

826
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:16,200
Speaker 2: even ahead of BOLTI well, recency bias.

827
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:18,040
Speaker 1: And we'll talk about this when we come back, because

828
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:20,200
Speaker 1: you guys can climb into the player psyche for me

829
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:22,759
Speaker 1: on this. We're going to discuss this when we come back.

830
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:25,360
Speaker 1: Because the game didn't play out probably the way a

831
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:28,600
Speaker 1: lot of us think it should have due to execution issues?

832
00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:33,120
Speaker 1: Does that make this Bills team even sharper going in

833
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:36,239
Speaker 1: to this playoff game on Sunday? We'll discuss that with

834
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:38,440
Speaker 1: Thurman and Steve next here on One Bill's Live presented

835
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:40,160
Speaker 1: by Colida Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio.

836
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:56,239
Speaker 2: All right.

837
00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:58,879
Speaker 1: As we said before the break, we would discuss how

838
00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 1: with the Bills out defense still chasing their best offensive

839
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:08,200
Speaker 1: performance of the season, perhaps since the Dallas game, that

840
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:11,960
Speaker 1: I think it's in my opinion, but I'm gonna ask

841
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:14,320
Speaker 1: the guys that you know have been in those shoes

842
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:17,160
Speaker 1: and have maybe gone out and not played their best game,

843
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:22,080
Speaker 1: does it sharpen the focus this week? Because you're still

844
00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:27,040
Speaker 1: chasing your best offensive performance? So would you agree with

845
00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:29,719
Speaker 1: that that it almost sharpens them up because they didn't

846
00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:31,480
Speaker 1: they feel like they didn't play their best last week

847
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:34,200
Speaker 1: and it's still do or die now this week. So

848
00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:35,520
Speaker 1: you're chasing that, aren't you?

849
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:38,319
Speaker 10: And I'm gonna go ahead and answer that question first,

850
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:41,080
Speaker 10: because I think the offense is still if that's what

851
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:44,399
Speaker 10: you're preferring to, the offense is still chasing their best game,

852
00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:48,319
Speaker 10: that's yeah, okay, yeah, because defense, they're there defense is there.

853
00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:52,239
Speaker 10: They're peaking at the right time. And I mean even

854
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:54,120
Speaker 10: we keep saying it is, even with the injuries that

855
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:57,960
Speaker 10: they've had over the past year or whatever, that this defense,

856
00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:00,880
Speaker 10: Froan McDermott is held pretty much every team right at

857
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:03,799
Speaker 10: about seventeen or twenty some points every single game.

858
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:06,080
Speaker 2: It's our offense that need to be sharp.

859
00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:08,759
Speaker 10: They need to be shot because if they're sharp, that

860
00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:10,960
Speaker 10: brings a lot more energy to the defense and the

861
00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:11,560
Speaker 10: special team.

862
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:14,680
Speaker 1: Everybody a laser focus in prayer.

863
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:17,680
Speaker 2: Because you're want and done. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know

864
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:19,520
Speaker 2: that you don't want it. Certainly, you don't want to

865
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:21,719
Speaker 2: be the guy that, like, for a guy like me,

866
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:25,799
Speaker 2: I ain't I ain't gonna muff a punt in this game,

867
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:28,360
Speaker 2: you know, I don't want to be that guy. Have

868
00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:32,759
Speaker 2: everybody playing like Gangbusters and meat you know, doink it

869
00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:35,840
Speaker 2: back to them, right, So nobody wants to be the

870
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:38,279
Speaker 2: guy that lets everybody else down. You get to this

871
00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:41,320
Speaker 2: point where you've all hurt and you've you've suffered together,

872
00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:43,680
Speaker 2: and you get practices and you you know, you play

873
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:47,480
Speaker 2: hurt and you practice hurt, and you know everybody and

874
00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:49,279
Speaker 2: you see everybody going through the same thing. You know,

875
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 2: and you kind of hang in with it, you know,

876
00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:52,600
Speaker 2: and then you get to this point it's like, let's go.

877
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:56,440
Speaker 2: You don't want to be the guy that like wastes

878
00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:59,920
Speaker 2: all of it. So there's that motivation behind everybody. I think, right,

879
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:03,640
Speaker 2: you don't want to be the weak link, and so

880
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:06,799
Speaker 2: that you know, guy, you know, guys like me down

881
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:09,279
Speaker 2: the roster, guy covering Kicksman, I'm not gonna let I'm

882
00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:12,960
Speaker 2: not letting I'm not letting Bruce and Thurman down, you know,

883
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:15,320
Speaker 2: because I know those you know, I'm not gonna be

884
00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:17,920
Speaker 2: that guy. I'm not gonna be the guy lines off

885
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:18,560
Speaker 2: off sides.

886
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:21,680
Speaker 5: Holy crap, you know what.

887
00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:24,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't want to be four.

888
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:27,239
Speaker 10: And sometimes in those instances, yeah, you know, I have

889
00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:33,319
Speaker 10: been in those where I didn't come through, but Jim

890
00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:36,319
Speaker 10: or Andre or Bruce, hell, they would pick me up.

891
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:37,360
Speaker 2: Yeah you know.

892
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:40,080
Speaker 10: Yeah, And that's the way it works, especially if they're

893
00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:42,080
Speaker 10: still a game to play, right, if they're still game

894
00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:44,919
Speaker 10: to play. Yeah, exactly, So yeah, I mean it. Yeah,

895
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:48,200
Speaker 10: I mean, man, once you get to this point, it's man,

896
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:51,359
Speaker 10: it's a roller coaster. Every single quarter. It's a roller coaster.

897
00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:53,479
Speaker 1: Okay, So so let me take it a step further

898
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:55,719
Speaker 1: because I think a lot of fans wonder about this.

899
00:45:56,760 --> 00:46:00,480
Speaker 1: You know, it's win or go home. You've been in

900
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:02,520
Speaker 1: games like that before, and this is a team with

901
00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:06,200
Speaker 1: a lot of playoff experience, as we know, how do

902
00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:11,279
Speaker 1: you getting up and being ready for the game is

903
00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:15,560
Speaker 1: not the issue? How do you stay loose so you

904
00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:19,160
Speaker 1: don't play tight? Because playing tight is not good either.

905
00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:23,480
Speaker 2: Have you been in that locker room before? You been

906
00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:25,319
Speaker 2: the locker room? Yeah?

907
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:28,799
Speaker 10: Those just taking hit and yeah, yeah, just take it hit.

908
00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:31,040
Speaker 10: You're good, man, you're good because that locker room right now.

909
00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:33,839
Speaker 10: Ain't nobody walking around that locker room going like, oh man,

910
00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:36,319
Speaker 10: we've come this far hall you know No, No, they're

911
00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:38,840
Speaker 10: in that locker room going you know what, especially on Office,

912
00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:41,240
Speaker 10: we still haven't played. The Office is my best offensive

913
00:46:41,600 --> 00:46:43,520
Speaker 10: and it's gonna be a messy day.

914
00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:45,160
Speaker 1: Sign right, So let me take it a step further.

915
00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:47,120
Speaker 10: Yeah, how many steps you're gonna keep taking?

916
00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:49,279
Speaker 1: I'm going all the way up to the second floor here.

917
00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:51,960
Speaker 1: How do you how do you like a guy with

918
00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:55,080
Speaker 1: a big role who hadn't done this before? Dalton Kin kid? Like,

919
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:57,120
Speaker 1: what does Dawson say to him to kind of keep

920
00:46:57,200 --> 00:46:59,879
Speaker 1: him loose, like, just play your game. It's playing for you, man.

921
00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:03,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, just show them who you are. And you got

922
00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:05,120
Speaker 2: to want the ball, give me the ball. Yeah.

923
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:07,520
Speaker 10: You know, you know Josh is coming to you. He's

924
00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:09,319
Speaker 10: coming to you. He's coming to you. I mean he's

925
00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:11,680
Speaker 10: been doing the last eight to ten games. Yeah, he's

926
00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:14,320
Speaker 10: not going to just like, oh, let's forget about coat. No,

927
00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:15,279
Speaker 10: I'm not doing that.

928
00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:17,759
Speaker 2: You learn how to get into that mindset because of

929
00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:20,000
Speaker 2: the losses you sustain. I mean, nobody knows how to

930
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:23,320
Speaker 2: get into a better than guys who have failed at it.

931
00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:25,080
Speaker 2: I mean, you know what you know, you feel like

932
00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:27,759
Speaker 2: where you came short, came up short, and you've seen

933
00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:32,480
Speaker 2: other guys excel in those situations. It's about it's about

934
00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:35,560
Speaker 2: not worrying about what happens after. It's like, go, you

935
00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:37,360
Speaker 2: got to go and play to your potential.

936
00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:38,120
Speaker 5: Go do it.

937
00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:40,440
Speaker 2: You gotta trust your discipline, you trust your training and

938
00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:43,040
Speaker 2: your fundamentals and all that. And when you see an opportunity,

939
00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:45,360
Speaker 2: risk it, go for it. You know, you got to

940
00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:47,040
Speaker 2: go for it in those situations because it is do

941
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:48,640
Speaker 2: or die, and you got to trust yourself that you

942
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:50,839
Speaker 2: know what you're looking at. What you're doing.

943
00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:52,600
Speaker 10: Yeah, you know what you used to tell me all

944
00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:53,799
Speaker 10: the time, dare to be great?

945
00:47:54,120 --> 00:47:59,239
Speaker 2: Yeah? Oh okay, yeah, I mean I'm doing something I

946
00:47:59,280 --> 00:47:59,960
Speaker 2: probably Yeah.

947
00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:02,359
Speaker 1: I mean, you play all you practice, and you play

948
00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:04,560
Speaker 1: all year, might as well be bold.

949
00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:05,520
Speaker 2: Now bold.

950
00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:09,160
Speaker 10: Right, I'm in a position to where we can take

951
00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:12,000
Speaker 10: this to the following week, the following week, the following week,

952
00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:13,600
Speaker 10: and that's just how it goes.

953
00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:15,040
Speaker 1: Fortune favors the bold.

954
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:15,719
Speaker 2: Yeah.

955
00:48:16,719 --> 00:48:21,920
Speaker 1: Last thing. Wind can also affect. And what sparked my

956
00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:23,879
Speaker 1: thought of this is when you're telling me you don't

957
00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:25,920
Speaker 1: want to be the guy that muffed the punt. Are

958
00:48:25,960 --> 00:48:28,319
Speaker 1: we getting away from the ball completely? If you got

959
00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:30,600
Speaker 1: twenty five mile per hour sustain wins, just get away.

960
00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:32,200
Speaker 1: It's not try to field it.

961
00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:36,640
Speaker 2: It's not unusual in this stadium in high Mark, in

962
00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:38,480
Speaker 2: a game like it looks like it's going to be

963
00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:40,960
Speaker 2: twenty five mile prior wins, fifty mile per hour gus

964
00:48:41,239 --> 00:48:44,680
Speaker 2: light snow, it's not unusual for both teams to punt

965
00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:48,919
Speaker 2: four or five times at least, and you will see

966
00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:53,120
Speaker 2: eight to ten punts untouched. Nobody will get near.

967
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:54,960
Speaker 1: Right, You're just it's just not worth it.

968
00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:57,359
Speaker 2: It's not worth the word you'll see you won't see

969
00:48:57,400 --> 00:48:58,440
Speaker 2: a single punt.

970
00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:02,000
Speaker 1: Ten Your difference it ten yards is not worth ball.

971
00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:04,839
Speaker 2: Security, It's not worth getting the possession of the ball.

972
00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:08,239
Speaker 2: You'll see a lot of punk. You'll just see guys

973
00:49:08,360 --> 00:49:09,840
Speaker 2: just get away from it, and that. You may not

974
00:49:09,960 --> 00:49:12,239
Speaker 2: see a single punt return in the entire game, even

975
00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:14,680
Speaker 2: if both teams go three and out for the first

976
00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:17,120
Speaker 2: three quarters of the game. You'll never see a punt return.

977
00:49:17,800 --> 00:49:19,200
Speaker 10: I mean, I mean you can take it a step

978
00:49:19,239 --> 00:49:21,359
Speaker 10: farlong on the pendal which way you're going into the win.

979
00:49:21,520 --> 00:49:26,520
Speaker 2: That's kick off. I mean, that's gonna be its excruciating.

980
00:49:26,520 --> 00:49:29,560
Speaker 10: There's a punt return, right, Yeah, you're not gonna be

981
00:49:29,600 --> 00:49:32,400
Speaker 10: at the end zone. If these wins are going to

982
00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:35,600
Speaker 10: be like that, not in the score scoreboard, end, scoreboard, end,

983
00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:36,160
Speaker 10: you'll never make it.

984
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:39,400
Speaker 2: Plus the cold, the ball didn't travel so far and

985
00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:41,719
Speaker 2: you can't kick it as hard, so you're gonna get

986
00:49:41,719 --> 00:49:43,359
Speaker 2: some balls out on the field. You might this might

987
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:45,440
Speaker 2: be one of those games where you get the fair

988
00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:46,520
Speaker 2: catch to the twenty five.

989
00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:49,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, but what if you're lying driving swibbing it on

990
00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:50,400
Speaker 1: them now you can't.

991
00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:52,480
Speaker 2: Well, it's not a bad ta.

992
00:49:55,120 --> 00:49:55,319
Speaker 8: Race.

993
00:49:55,560 --> 00:49:57,800
Speaker 2: It is not It is not a bad it's not

994
00:49:57,880 --> 00:50:01,600
Speaker 2: a bad tactic. It's not a bad tactic. You like that, right, No,

995
00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:03,640
Speaker 2: not at all. Now, you know you run the risk.

996
00:50:03,680 --> 00:50:06,000
Speaker 2: Even though you bang it and your line shot at

997
00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:08,759
Speaker 2: knuckleball down between the hash marks and the stinking things,

998
00:50:08,760 --> 00:50:09,960
Speaker 2: still could go out of bounds.

999
00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:13,560
Speaker 10: Or you can be Steve Tasker and catch it in

1000
00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:16,799
Speaker 10: the air against the Raiders. Yeah, and get caught by

1001
00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:19,120
Speaker 10: Willie Gau At the two year I heard that.

1002
00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:23,279
Speaker 1: Heard everybody telling them was Dan Turk Thurman.

1003
00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:26,080
Speaker 2: Was on the sidelines going no, no, no, okay, go

1004
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:30,040
Speaker 2: go go. He actually caught that ball out of the

1005
00:50:30,120 --> 00:50:33,399
Speaker 2: air and it was a rock. It was a rock

1006
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:36,840
Speaker 2: because it was that was the coldest day. That was

1007
00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:39,200
Speaker 2: the coldest game ever in Buffalo history. Buffalo that was.

1008
00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:40,719
Speaker 2: It was cool and it was sunny and clear.

1009
00:50:40,840 --> 00:50:41,560
Speaker 1: You guys are lucky.

1010
00:50:41,800 --> 00:50:45,399
Speaker 2: I didn't play the game so lucky. It's a great story.

1011
00:50:45,480 --> 00:50:48,960
Speaker 2: Throw it. Look at that? Are you kidding me?

1012
00:50:50,239 --> 00:50:50,279
Speaker 9: Go?

1013
00:50:50,640 --> 00:50:53,239
Speaker 2: I was going the other way before those guys even like,

1014
00:50:53,800 --> 00:50:56,279
Speaker 2: and I was like, oh yeah, oh yeah. Then I

1015
00:50:56,360 --> 00:50:57,520
Speaker 2: saw Willy Gault come out it.

1016
00:51:00,719 --> 00:51:02,120
Speaker 1: He even tried to get the pilot.

1017
00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:05,319
Speaker 2: Yeah. Let me tell you something. I landed with that ball.

1018
00:51:05,360 --> 00:51:07,480
Speaker 2: It hit me in the sternum and I could area

1019
00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:08,600
Speaker 2: for like thirty seconds.

1020
00:51:08,640 --> 00:51:08,800

00:54:57,040 --> 00:54:59,439
Speaker 11: Yelemen, thank you for taking my phone call. I listen

1083
00:54:59,480 --> 00:55:01,960
Speaker 11: every single day. I love everything you guys have to say,

1084
00:55:03,040 --> 00:55:07,040
Speaker 11: to answer your question on what encouraged me encourages me most,

1085
00:55:07,080 --> 00:55:09,040
Speaker 11: and Joe Brady took over. I just feel like it's

1086
00:55:09,080 --> 00:55:13,719
Speaker 11: the mindset or you know, the buzzword is culture something

1087
00:55:13,760 --> 00:55:15,760
Speaker 11: cover one. I guess they call it the game feel.

1088
00:55:16,120 --> 00:55:20,200
Speaker 11: They just feel like the players are they're more energized,

1089
00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:24,680
Speaker 11: they're they're more into the game, they're clicking together. Clearly,

1090
00:55:24,719 --> 00:55:28,000
Speaker 11: not on every play, we all have issues, but it's

1091
00:55:28,040 --> 00:55:30,279
Speaker 11: just like looking up back earlier in the season. Yes,

1092
00:55:30,360 --> 00:55:33,319
Speaker 11: it was a statistically good offense, but it just felt

1093
00:55:33,360 --> 00:55:36,520
Speaker 11: like the players are playing through Jello. I did have

1094
00:55:36,600 --> 00:55:40,560
Speaker 11: one question for you, and I'm curious why the Buffalo

1095
00:55:40,640 --> 00:55:45,520
Speaker 11: Bills don't run more twenty two style offense. It feels

1096
00:55:45,520 --> 00:55:47,320
Speaker 11: like Josh takes a lot of hits. We got some

1097
00:55:47,560 --> 00:55:51,359
Speaker 11: big guys that tight end and guys that have hands.

1098
00:55:51,400 --> 00:55:53,480
Speaker 11: Don't think Kate has really good hands. Sans Cook has

1099
00:55:53,520 --> 00:55:55,279
Speaker 11: really good hands, So why not work more in twenty

1100
00:55:55,320 --> 00:55:57,520
Speaker 11: two with the two tight ends and the two running

1101
00:55:57,560 --> 00:56:01,399
Speaker 11: backs protect Josh Moore and you know, give those guys

1102
00:56:01,440 --> 00:56:04,799
Speaker 11: a hands intermedia and close routes to give Josh's way out.

1103
00:56:05,320 --> 00:56:06,759
Speaker 11: I'll let you answer, guys. Thank you so much, I

1104
00:56:06,840 --> 00:56:07,320
Speaker 11: appreciate you.

1105
00:56:07,520 --> 00:56:11,920
Speaker 2: Yep, yeah, I mean, uh, I don't know why, you

1106
00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:14,440
Speaker 2: know twenty two. Yeah, sure they could go twenty two.

1107
00:56:14,560 --> 00:56:20,719
Speaker 2: I don't know that it gives you that much. Josh

1108
00:56:20,800 --> 00:56:22,919
Speaker 2: doesn't get Josh gets hit because he runs the ball

1109
00:56:23,280 --> 00:56:26,360
Speaker 2: a lot. He's the least sacked quarterback in the NFL.

1110
00:56:26,880 --> 00:56:29,480
Speaker 2: He's the hardest guy to sack in the NFL. He

1111
00:56:29,560 --> 00:56:33,319
Speaker 2: doesn't take that many hits except, like I said, when

1112
00:56:33,360 --> 00:56:35,160
Speaker 2: he runs the ball. He ran the ball fifteen times

1113
00:56:35,239 --> 00:56:40,279
Speaker 2: this last week. That's a lot. But that's It doesn't

1114
00:56:40,320 --> 00:56:42,239
Speaker 2: matter what personnel you have on the field. Then you

1115
00:56:42,320 --> 00:56:46,840
Speaker 2: need options, you know. So I don't really see the

1116
00:56:46,960 --> 00:56:49,640
Speaker 2: need to go do it, certainly if it's an option

1117
00:56:49,760 --> 00:56:51,799
Speaker 2: and the matchup says he sure, Yeah, throw twenty two

1118
00:56:51,880 --> 00:56:54,200
Speaker 2: out there, or twenty three personnel out there, or whatever

1119
00:56:54,239 --> 00:56:56,760
Speaker 2: you want, Throw all those guys out there, whatever combination

1120
00:56:56,840 --> 00:56:58,880
Speaker 2: you want, But there's got to be a reason for it.

1121
00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:01,560
Speaker 2: On the other side of the ball, on the defensive side,

1122
00:57:01,600 --> 00:57:04,360
Speaker 2: on your opponent's side of the ball, what gives you

1123
00:57:04,440 --> 00:57:06,799
Speaker 2: the feeling that your twenty two personnel is a better

1124
00:57:06,920 --> 00:57:10,680
Speaker 2: fit against their defense than you're eleven personnel or your

1125
00:57:10,719 --> 00:57:14,799
Speaker 2: ten personnel or your you know whatever. So if that's

1126
00:57:14,840 --> 00:57:17,760
Speaker 2: the case, I'm all for it, But I don't know

1127
00:57:17,880 --> 00:57:21,400
Speaker 2: that that it's going to help you not get Josh hit,

1128
00:57:21,880 --> 00:57:23,920
Speaker 2: you know. So I don't know what you're the justification.

1129
00:57:24,080 --> 00:57:26,480
Speaker 2: I see it, but Josh doesn't get I know, we

1130
00:57:26,600 --> 00:57:28,560
Speaker 2: see it. And Josh was walking off the field every

1131
00:57:28,600 --> 00:57:30,560
Speaker 2: game and he's got grass stains over every inch of

1132
00:57:30,600 --> 00:57:35,560
Speaker 2: his body, right, But that's on Josh. I mean, having

1133
00:57:35,600 --> 00:57:38,480
Speaker 2: twenty two personnel or twenty three personnel or twelve personnel

1134
00:57:39,040 --> 00:57:41,920
Speaker 2: isn't going to change that in my opinion. So I

1135
00:57:42,080 --> 00:57:46,440
Speaker 2: get what you're saying, but you know, nobody gets a

1136
00:57:46,520 --> 00:57:49,520
Speaker 2: hit on Josh that Josh doesn't see coming unless he's

1137
00:57:49,560 --> 00:57:54,120
Speaker 2: standing in the pocket, and that comparatively speaking, happens to

1138
00:57:54,200 --> 00:57:55,720
Speaker 2: him less than anybody else in the league.

1139
00:57:57,000 --> 00:57:59,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know, the Bills to this point are

1140
00:57:59,760 --> 00:58:03,600
Speaker 1: all so number one in third down conversion rate. So

1141
00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:07,360
Speaker 1: moving the sticks moving the ball wasn't the issue at

1142
00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:10,919
Speaker 1: all last week. It was finishing drives in the end zone.

1143
00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:13,200
Speaker 1: They were two of five in the red zone last week.

1144
00:58:13,920 --> 00:58:15,960
Speaker 1: To Steve's point, earlier when we had Thurman in here,

1145
00:58:16,600 --> 00:58:18,960
Speaker 1: you know, you make one more catch in the end zone.

1146
00:58:18,960 --> 00:58:21,000
Speaker 1: You win by two touchdowns. You make two more catches

1147
00:58:21,080 --> 00:58:23,080
Speaker 1: in the end you make you know, you connect on

1148
00:58:23,120 --> 00:58:25,360
Speaker 1: the deep ball to Steph and Cook catches the ball

1149
00:58:25,400 --> 00:58:27,480
Speaker 1: in the end zone. Now you win by three touchdowns,

1150
00:58:27,520 --> 00:58:29,440
Speaker 1: and people are like, holy cow, look out for the Bills.

1151
00:58:31,520 --> 00:58:36,160
Speaker 1: Those are the slim margins that you want to make

1152
00:58:36,560 --> 00:58:39,640
Speaker 1: good on once you get to the postseason, because if

1153
00:58:39,680 --> 00:58:42,800
Speaker 1: you don't, you could very well be sitting at home

1154
00:58:42,880 --> 00:58:46,560
Speaker 1: the next week watching the playoffs. That's the danger. So

1155
00:58:46,680 --> 00:58:49,720
Speaker 1: you focus on your technique and your fundamentals and hope

1156
00:58:49,760 --> 00:58:52,160
Speaker 1: your coaches have a great game plan for you to execute,

1157
00:58:52,520 --> 00:58:54,240
Speaker 1: and then you got to execute that thing. It's like

1158
00:58:54,320 --> 00:58:56,480
Speaker 1: Steve says all the time. Hell we had t shirts, mate,

1159
00:58:57,080 --> 00:59:00,680
Speaker 1: you got to play well on that day, right, And

1160
00:59:00,800 --> 00:59:03,120
Speaker 1: that's what the Bills have to do. Uh, let's go

1161
00:59:03,360 --> 00:59:06,360
Speaker 1: to Kramer and Amherst. What do you got first? Kramer?

1162
00:59:07,440 --> 00:59:08,400
Speaker 7: Hey, how you doing?

1163
00:59:08,640 --> 00:59:09,120
Speaker 12: How you doing?

1164
00:59:09,160 --> 00:59:09,320
Speaker 2: Hey?

1165
00:59:09,440 --> 00:59:12,240
Speaker 12: Steve, How's what's up. I'm still waiting for that club

1166
00:59:12,360 --> 00:59:15,720
Speaker 12: med vacation from that outdoor stir out in Chicawaga, But

1167
00:59:16,720 --> 00:59:20,320
Speaker 12: you know, maybe someday Anyway, Yeah, I just wanted to

1168
00:59:20,400 --> 00:59:24,960
Speaker 12: talk about the Bills offense under under Brady's helm. I

1169
00:59:25,240 --> 00:59:28,840
Speaker 12: just think their avent is like a box of chocolates.

1170
00:59:28,880 --> 00:59:30,440
Speaker 12: You know, you don't know what you're gonna get, but

1171
00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:33,320
Speaker 12: you know, because you know the Bills they played the

1172
00:59:33,440 --> 00:59:38,000
Speaker 12: complimentary they played very complimentary football. You know, the you know,

1173
00:59:38,080 --> 00:59:41,000
Speaker 12: the defense has been kicking in despite all the big

1174
00:59:41,320 --> 00:59:44,160
Speaker 12: injuries this year, and you know, von Miller not really

1175
00:59:44,440 --> 00:59:48,479
Speaker 12: being von Miller this year. And uh, I have no idea.

1176
00:59:48,480 --> 00:59:50,560
Speaker 12: It's a mystery because I get to suppose the weather

1177
00:59:50,680 --> 00:59:54,760
Speaker 12: is gonna be bad, uh next and the next Sunday,

1178
00:59:54,840 --> 00:59:57,120
Speaker 12: and uh, you know, I suppose they're gonna have to

1179
00:59:57,240 --> 00:59:59,360
Speaker 12: be forced to run the gate, run the ball a

1180
00:59:59,440 --> 01:00:03,080
Speaker 12: lot more than usual. And I suppose in addition to that,

1181
01:00:03,400 --> 01:00:06,520
Speaker 12: Josh Allens so goes he's going to have to do

1182
01:00:06,600 --> 01:00:09,800
Speaker 12: a lot of rushing as well. But I hope, I hope,

1183
01:00:09,880 --> 01:00:12,680
Speaker 12: uh what's his name, I forgot his name? Cook, he

1184
01:00:12,760 --> 01:00:14,920
Speaker 12: has a good game. I hope he starts cooking again.

1185
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:18,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's been it's been a little bit since you know,

1186
01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:22,560
Speaker 1: he's had one hundred yards from scrimmage. So yeah, that's

1187
01:00:22,600 --> 01:00:25,000
Speaker 1: a thing, and you definitely want to get him back

1188
01:00:25,040 --> 01:00:27,360
Speaker 1: on track, especially in a game where you may have

1189
01:00:27,480 --> 01:00:30,200
Speaker 1: to run the ball a little bit more because of

1190
01:00:30,360 --> 01:00:30,720
Speaker 1: the weather.

1191
01:00:31,080 --> 01:00:32,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think one of the things too, when

1192
01:00:32,800 --> 01:00:34,880
Speaker 2: he starts to say, we got to run the ball more,

1193
01:00:34,920 --> 01:00:36,720
Speaker 2: and if it does turn out to be a reality,

1194
01:00:36,920 --> 01:00:38,800
Speaker 2: you have to run the ball in a myriad of

1195
01:00:38,840 --> 01:00:42,640
Speaker 2: different ways. It's not like the old days when Thurman was,

1196
01:00:42,800 --> 01:00:44,880
Speaker 2: you know, our guests in the last segment, Thurman was,

1197
01:00:45,640 --> 01:00:47,360
Speaker 2: you know, getting handed off, and we had like four

1198
01:00:47,480 --> 01:00:50,040
Speaker 2: running plays, you know, fifty six fifty seven, you know,

1199
01:00:50,240 --> 01:00:52,240
Speaker 2: I mean they we just we ran two plays of

1200
01:00:52,240 --> 01:00:53,920
Speaker 2: the right, two plays to the left, lined up and

1201
01:00:54,000 --> 01:00:56,840
Speaker 2: ran him fast, and we didn't have Now you've got

1202
01:00:56,960 --> 01:00:59,760
Speaker 2: to have a different philosophy, a whole run game philosophy

1203
01:00:59,840 --> 01:01:02,560
Speaker 2: that differs from series to series to series. You've got

1204
01:01:02,640 --> 01:01:04,040
Speaker 2: to have pin and pull. You got to pull those

1205
01:01:04,080 --> 01:01:06,200
Speaker 2: tackles around like we've seen the Bills doing this the

1206
01:01:06,280 --> 01:01:08,920
Speaker 2: last five or six, seven, eight games. And then you've

1207
01:01:08,920 --> 01:01:11,080
Speaker 2: got also got to have a zone blocking team where

1208
01:01:11,080 --> 01:01:13,400
Speaker 2: the all five offensive linemen kind of come off together

1209
01:01:13,840 --> 01:01:16,400
Speaker 2: and and sweet and get up into the second level.

1210
01:01:16,800 --> 01:01:19,560
Speaker 2: Just with zone blocking, you've got to have, you know,

1211
01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:22,920
Speaker 2: a misdirection stuff. You've got to have quarterback runs all

1212
01:01:22,960 --> 01:01:24,600
Speaker 2: of that stuff, and you've got to be able to

1213
01:01:24,640 --> 01:01:26,600
Speaker 2: do it all on a proficient level because you don't

1214
01:01:26,640 --> 01:01:30,320
Speaker 2: know which which of those schemes or philosophies is gonna

1215
01:01:30,320 --> 01:01:33,680
Speaker 2: work best this week, because Pittsburgh has something to say

1216
01:01:33,680 --> 01:01:37,080
Speaker 2: about what's going to be successful. So it's not just

1217
01:01:38,320 --> 01:01:40,360
Speaker 2: call the same three plays over and over and let's

1218
01:01:40,400 --> 01:01:42,760
Speaker 2: go and let's just beat them up. It ain't gonna work.

1219
01:01:43,680 --> 01:01:46,600
Speaker 2: So it's it's a lot to think about in the

1220
01:01:46,760 --> 01:01:48,800
Speaker 2: running game just as much as it is in the

1221
01:01:48,920 --> 01:01:52,160
Speaker 2: passing game and in the run. In the in the

1222
01:01:52,200 --> 01:01:53,800
Speaker 2: passing game, you got to have guy get a hat

1223
01:01:53,840 --> 01:01:57,120
Speaker 2: on a hat and pass protection. And it's even more

1224
01:01:57,200 --> 01:01:58,680
Speaker 2: so not only do you have to get a hat

1225
01:01:58,760 --> 01:02:03,320
Speaker 2: on a hat, you got to win physically. And that's

1226
01:02:03,760 --> 01:02:05,280
Speaker 2: that's that's asking even more.

1227
01:02:05,800 --> 01:02:09,240
Speaker 1: And I think we have to remember Pittsburgh, while they

1228
01:02:09,280 --> 01:02:12,640
Speaker 1: probably don't match up equally on paper in terms of

1229
01:02:12,680 --> 01:02:17,280
Speaker 1: pure talent with the Bills, you know, offense, defense, special teams.

1230
01:02:18,160 --> 01:02:20,920
Speaker 1: They play in the Black and Blue division of this league,

1231
01:02:21,440 --> 01:02:25,200
Speaker 1: and they make you grind out victories, They make you

1232
01:02:25,360 --> 01:02:30,520
Speaker 1: earn everything. And now with the weather potentially playing a

1233
01:02:30,640 --> 01:02:34,000
Speaker 1: factor in making it more of that kind of game,

1234
01:02:34,720 --> 01:02:36,480
Speaker 1: the more I think it's going to be tight for

1235
01:02:36,560 --> 01:02:40,000
Speaker 1: a while for a while, unless you know, Buffalo can

1236
01:02:40,040 --> 01:02:42,720
Speaker 1: bust off a couple of big ones. You know, maybe

1237
01:02:42,760 --> 01:02:45,280
Speaker 1: it's different, but this is shaping up to be a

1238
01:02:45,400 --> 01:02:46,800
Speaker 1: grinded out type game.

1239
01:02:46,920 --> 01:02:49,000
Speaker 2: You would think it would be hard to score in

1240
01:02:49,040 --> 01:02:53,840
Speaker 2: a game like this when the weather's bad. That automatically

1241
01:02:53,960 --> 01:02:56,320
Speaker 2: means it's going to be a close game and it's

1242
01:02:56,360 --> 01:02:57,320
Speaker 2: going to be uncomfortable.

1243
01:02:57,880 --> 01:02:59,640
Speaker 1: You got to live there, you know, Bills have been

1244
01:02:59,640 --> 01:03:01,400
Speaker 1: living there for five weeks. That's right, So I don't

1245
01:03:01,400 --> 01:03:04,880
Speaker 1: think it's an issue. Let's go to Richard and Tonawanda Nex.

1246
01:03:04,920 --> 01:03:05,600
Speaker 1: What do you got Richard?

1247
01:03:06,640 --> 01:03:10,560
Speaker 13: Yeah, Hi, guys, you were just recently talking about how

1248
01:03:10,640 --> 01:03:15,560
Speaker 13: the weather affects punts and how most teams won't even

1249
01:03:15,640 --> 01:03:19,480
Speaker 13: bother to try to return punts. Is it possible to

1250
01:03:19,680 --> 01:03:22,840
Speaker 13: like think outside the box on that and put an

1251
01:03:22,880 --> 01:03:27,280
Speaker 13: extra defender back with the punt returner so that he

1252
01:03:27,360 --> 01:03:32,520
Speaker 13: could either a little insurance on a possible fumble or blocking,

1253
01:03:33,080 --> 01:03:35,320
Speaker 13: or for that matter, even have more than one guy

1254
01:03:35,440 --> 01:03:37,960
Speaker 13: back there. I mean, I've never seen it, but is

1255
01:03:38,040 --> 01:03:38,960
Speaker 13: it legal.

1256
01:03:38,760 --> 01:03:41,280
Speaker 2: To do that? Yes? You can do that. Here's what happens.

1257
01:03:41,280 --> 01:03:43,200
Speaker 2: Safe say you put two guys, say let's say this,

1258
01:03:43,320 --> 01:03:46,320
Speaker 2: you put three guys back there. What are you gonna

1259
01:03:46,360 --> 01:03:48,120
Speaker 2: do when they step up under center? You got three

1260
01:03:48,160 --> 01:03:50,280
Speaker 2: guys that are that are twenty five yards away and

1261
01:03:50,360 --> 01:03:54,360
Speaker 2: they just push for a four four yard gain and

1262
01:03:54,440 --> 01:03:56,360
Speaker 2: get a first day saying snap the ball, and they

1263
01:03:56,400 --> 01:03:58,000
Speaker 2: snapped the ball and fake it. I mean when you

1264
01:03:58,120 --> 01:04:01,360
Speaker 2: when you empty out the front end like that, you're

1265
01:04:01,520 --> 01:04:04,760
Speaker 2: asking to get the ball run on you. That's that's

1266
01:04:04,800 --> 01:04:08,919
Speaker 2: an issue now. Certainly that if you do it once,

1267
01:04:09,000 --> 01:04:10,480
Speaker 2: they may say, okay, we missed it on that one.

1268
01:04:10,520 --> 01:04:13,480
Speaker 2: But if they do that again, let's do this, you know,

1269
01:04:13,600 --> 01:04:17,640
Speaker 2: and and run the and run the call. That happens. Also,

1270
01:04:19,640 --> 01:04:22,320
Speaker 2: just because there's three guys back there doesn't make it

1271
01:04:22,400 --> 01:04:25,200
Speaker 2: easier for one of them to catch it. No, you

1272
01:04:25,640 --> 01:04:27,680
Speaker 2: certainly they don't have to run as far to catch it.

1273
01:04:27,760 --> 01:04:29,360
Speaker 2: And catching a ball on the run, a punt on

1274
01:04:29,400 --> 01:04:32,160
Speaker 2: the run when it's moving around is virtually you know, hard,

1275
01:04:33,840 --> 01:04:35,560
Speaker 2: just because the guys sitting under it and makes it

1276
01:04:35,920 --> 01:04:39,200
Speaker 2: a little easier, but that doesn't make it like it usually.

1277
01:04:39,280 --> 01:04:44,440
Speaker 1: This is not to answer Richard's question, and you can

1278
01:04:44,520 --> 01:04:47,320
Speaker 1: tell me if I'm wrong, Steve. It's not a matter

1279
01:04:47,600 --> 01:04:52,080
Speaker 1: of covering ground to run the punt down in case

1280
01:04:52,160 --> 01:04:56,400
Speaker 1: it blows somewhere you're not expecting. This is purely a

1281
01:04:56,680 --> 01:05:00,600
Speaker 1: ball security issue. Whether you have one guy back there

1282
01:05:00,760 --> 01:05:03,280
Speaker 1: or ten guys back there, every guy is gonna have

1283
01:05:03,440 --> 01:05:05,720
Speaker 1: just as much trouble trying to field the ball. And

1284
01:05:05,800 --> 01:05:07,800
Speaker 1: then if you do have trouble fielding the ball and

1285
01:05:07,880 --> 01:05:09,800
Speaker 1: you muff it, just if you have, if you have

1286
01:05:09,880 --> 01:05:12,240
Speaker 1: two guys next to him, it could bounce away from

1287
01:05:12,280 --> 01:05:13,920
Speaker 1: all three of them. Because you don't know how the

1288
01:05:13,960 --> 01:05:15,920
Speaker 1: ball is gonna bounce. There's no way to predict that.

1289
01:05:16,160 --> 01:05:19,240
Speaker 1: So and that's why you're best off. Your best bet

1290
01:05:19,440 --> 01:05:20,880
Speaker 1: is to just stay the hell out of.

1291
01:05:20,880 --> 01:05:22,880
Speaker 2: The way, right. And you've seen it too, I mean,

1292
01:05:22,920 --> 01:05:25,040
Speaker 2: we've all seen it. There's a million in cases where

1293
01:05:25,520 --> 01:05:28,000
Speaker 2: the guy tries to catch it, it bounces funky, and

1294
01:05:28,080 --> 01:05:29,880
Speaker 2: the guy in front of him is trying to block

1295
01:05:29,960 --> 01:05:32,600
Speaker 2: one of the coverage guys and the ball bounces up

1296
01:05:32,640 --> 01:05:34,760
Speaker 2: against one of the return team and now you lose it.

1297
01:05:34,880 --> 01:05:36,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, bouncing off his leg, and now it's alive.

1298
01:05:36,720 --> 01:05:38,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, even though you don't try to field it, somebody

1299
01:05:38,800 --> 01:05:41,760
Speaker 2: doesn't see it where it bounces, because it's it's moved

1300
01:05:42,160 --> 01:05:46,560
Speaker 2: across the field or bounced. Funny. There's just so many

1301
01:05:46,640 --> 01:05:49,320
Speaker 2: bad things that happen on that play when the wind

1302
01:05:49,400 --> 01:05:52,880
Speaker 2: is whipping the ball around that that don't normally happen,

1303
01:05:53,480 --> 01:05:56,840
Speaker 2: and guys get into the habit wrongly, So they get

1304
01:05:56,880 --> 01:05:59,080
Speaker 2: into the habit of just taking for granted that they'll

1305
01:05:59,120 --> 01:06:02,040
Speaker 2: either hear a call or the return. Then there's calls

1306
01:06:02,040 --> 01:06:04,920
Speaker 2: that you make. The return guy will call like poison

1307
01:06:05,120 --> 01:06:07,240
Speaker 2: or whatever you want to call to say, hey, you

1308
01:06:07,320 --> 01:06:09,480
Speaker 2: got to get your eyes up find the ball because

1309
01:06:09,480 --> 01:06:12,440
Speaker 2: they don't know nobody's feeling it and it may bounce anywhere.

1310
01:06:12,720 --> 01:06:16,400
Speaker 2: So they have the guys screaming this call from behind.

1311
01:06:16,440 --> 01:06:18,920
Speaker 2: You can't hear it, like I just told you yesterday,

1312
01:06:19,240 --> 01:06:21,920
Speaker 2: Like Deontay Hardy, you're running the kickback. You can't hear

1313
01:06:22,120 --> 01:06:25,840
Speaker 2: or see anything, and you can't hear the call. You

1314
01:06:25,960 --> 01:06:30,920
Speaker 2: have to actively think to listen for a call. And

1315
01:06:31,160 --> 01:06:32,880
Speaker 2: a lot of times there's no call, the guy catches

1316
01:06:32,920 --> 01:06:34,120
Speaker 2: it and he runs with it. That kind of thing.

1317
01:06:35,320 --> 01:06:37,720
Speaker 2: If there's a call and you're not actively listening for it,

1318
01:06:37,800 --> 01:06:42,439
Speaker 2: you will never hear it. It's it's a crapshoot. Yeah,

1319
01:06:42,720 --> 01:06:47,440
Speaker 2: and that's why you'll have a game where there's eleven

1320
01:06:47,520 --> 01:06:49,720
Speaker 2: punts in it and not every single punt will hit

1321
01:06:49,760 --> 01:06:51,480
Speaker 2: the ground, every one of them.

1322
01:06:52,320 --> 01:06:56,160
Speaker 1: We do have another head coaching job open in the NFL.

1323
01:06:56,760 --> 01:07:01,440
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll out as Seahawks' head coach. He looks like

1324
01:07:01,600 --> 01:07:05,400
Speaker 1: he is going to remain on as an advisor. Here

1325
01:07:05,520 --> 01:07:08,960
Speaker 1: is the statement from the chairman of the Seattle Seahawks,

1326
01:07:09,200 --> 01:07:12,520
Speaker 1: Jody Allen. After thoughtful meetings and careful consideration for the

1327
01:07:12,600 --> 01:07:15,160
Speaker 1: best interest of the franchise, we have amicably agreed with

1328
01:07:15,240 --> 01:07:17,840
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll that his role will evolve from head coach

1329
01:07:17,920 --> 01:07:21,560
Speaker 1: to remain with the organization as an advisor. He is

1330
01:07:21,640 --> 01:07:24,360
Speaker 1: the winning his coach in Seahawks history, brought the city

1331
01:07:24,440 --> 01:07:27,320
Speaker 1: its first Super Bowl and created a tremendous impact over

1332
01:07:27,360 --> 01:07:31,160
Speaker 1: the last fourteen years. So he is going to stay

1333
01:07:31,240 --> 01:07:33,840
Speaker 1: on as a member of the Seahawks family, but more

1334
01:07:33,920 --> 01:07:36,120
Speaker 1: in an advisory role. So they will have a new

1335
01:07:36,160 --> 01:07:40,360
Speaker 1: head coach next year. So another head coaching opening.

1336
01:07:40,560 --> 01:07:42,760
Speaker 2: Well, he's in his seventies. He's in his seventies, so

1337
01:07:42,800 --> 01:07:44,640
Speaker 2: you can understand. But man, you look at him, we're watching,

1338
01:07:44,720 --> 01:07:47,560
Speaker 2: We're watching highlights now for these year radio. The guy's energetic.

1339
01:07:48,200 --> 01:07:50,640
Speaker 2: I mean he has always brought that energy even when

1340
01:07:50,680 --> 01:07:52,680
Speaker 2: he's even if you don't like who Pete Carroll is,

1341
01:07:52,800 --> 01:07:56,120
Speaker 2: the guy is energetic and a positive guy. He's he

1342
01:07:56,240 --> 01:08:02,120
Speaker 2: is a football coach. I'm I get it. He's seventies

1343
01:08:02,320 --> 01:08:04,640
Speaker 2: and time maybe, but man, oh man, that's a guy

1344
01:08:04,680 --> 01:08:06,400
Speaker 2: that I think a lot of people in the league

1345
01:08:06,400 --> 01:08:09,360
Speaker 2: will miss. He's he's been doing it for a long

1346
01:08:09,440 --> 01:08:11,120
Speaker 2: fourteen years. Goodness, great they'll.

1347
01:08:10,920 --> 01:08:13,840
Speaker 1: Still be in the league. But yes, talk about a

1348
01:08:13,880 --> 01:08:16,200
Speaker 1: guy that landed on his feet after getting bounced out

1349
01:08:16,240 --> 01:08:20,960
Speaker 1: of New England after one year. Coach the Jets for

1350
01:08:21,040 --> 01:08:25,960
Speaker 1: one year, got bounced out of there. So yeah, fourteen

1351
01:08:26,040 --> 01:08:28,120
Speaker 1: years in Seattle, that's a hell of a run, especially

1352
01:08:28,200 --> 01:08:32,679
Speaker 1: since he had two Super Bowl appearances one super Bowl title,

1353
01:08:33,200 --> 01:08:34,040
Speaker 1: So good for him.

1354
01:08:34,160 --> 01:08:36,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Steve.

1355
01:08:37,000 --> 01:08:39,960
Speaker 1: On a Bills related note, that is yet another team

1356
01:08:40,680 --> 01:08:43,560
Speaker 1: that the Bills will be facing next season with a

1357
01:08:43,760 --> 01:08:49,240
Speaker 1: new head coach. You've got Tennessee, you've got New England,

1358
01:08:50,840 --> 01:08:52,839
Speaker 1: You've got Seattle.

1359
01:08:52,960 --> 01:08:56,000
Speaker 2: Now so La Chargers.

1360
01:08:56,439 --> 01:09:00,400
Speaker 1: No, they don't play the Charger they plays and McVeigh

1361
01:09:00,439 --> 01:09:03,880
Speaker 1: has indicated he is coming back so that's more a

1362
01:09:04,080 --> 01:09:05,240
Speaker 1: personal choice by him.

1363
01:09:05,720 --> 01:09:07,240
Speaker 2: What is the other?

1364
01:09:07,360 --> 01:09:08,080
Speaker 1: What is the NFC?

1365
01:09:08,560 --> 01:09:09,960
Speaker 2: Are we playing the NFC West.

1366
01:09:09,960 --> 01:09:13,880
Speaker 1: NFC West next year? Yes, but right now three teams

1367
01:09:13,960 --> 01:09:17,599
Speaker 1: will have new head coaches on Buffalo schedule for next

1368
01:09:17,840 --> 01:09:21,920
Speaker 1: season as we as our MSG viewers are looking at

1369
01:09:21,960 --> 01:09:25,120
Speaker 1: the home opponents there for next year, obviously the three

1370
01:09:25,160 --> 01:09:29,920
Speaker 1: division teams. Then Jacksonville, Tennessee, Arizona, San fran and Kansas City.

1371
01:09:30,000 --> 01:09:32,880
Speaker 1: Bill's play the AFC South and NFC West next year,

1372
01:09:33,439 --> 01:09:36,559
Speaker 1: and then away games the division teams and then at Houston,

1373
01:09:36,600 --> 01:09:40,000
Speaker 1: at Indy, at La Rams, at Seattle, at Baltimore at Detroit.

1374
01:09:41,120 --> 01:09:44,120
Speaker 1: So there you go. So nine away games, eight home

1375
01:09:44,200 --> 01:09:45,000
Speaker 1: games next.

1376
01:09:44,880 --> 01:09:50,080
Speaker 2: Season, plus the other three division winners. Right yeah, Ravens line.

1377
01:09:50,080 --> 01:09:53,240
Speaker 1: You finished in first place, so you get to play Detroit,

1378
01:09:54,160 --> 01:09:59,080
Speaker 1: you get to play Baltimore and Niners and the Niners.

1379
01:10:00,640 --> 01:10:03,040
Speaker 1: Well no, you're playing the Niners anyway. Who is the

1380
01:10:03,280 --> 01:10:06,120
Speaker 1: cross divisional team here?

1381
01:10:06,760 --> 01:10:10,000
Speaker 2: Kas at home though, Chiefs or AFC we won't even

1382
01:10:10,040 --> 01:10:13,400
Speaker 2: recognize him. And if they NFC unless we see him

1383
01:10:13,400 --> 01:10:15,559
Speaker 2: in the next couple of weeks, maybe let's.

1384
01:10:15,479 --> 01:10:19,439
Speaker 1: Goal could be as soon as next week. Uh yeah,

1385
01:10:19,680 --> 01:10:23,160
Speaker 1: So that's interesting. Uh, let's crack open the tweets sheet here, Steve,

1386
01:10:23,200 --> 01:10:25,519
Speaker 1: we have not to do not done that yet on

1387
01:10:25,640 --> 01:10:29,439
Speaker 1: today's show. As our topic of discussion for you today

1388
01:10:30,360 --> 01:10:35,640
Speaker 1: is what encourages you the most since Joe Brady has

1389
01:10:35,680 --> 01:10:38,439
Speaker 1: taken over as offensive coordinator. Tweets sheet brought to you

1390
01:10:38,520 --> 01:10:41,160
Speaker 1: by Corgan Moving Systems, the official equipment moving company of

1391
01:10:41,200 --> 01:10:45,439
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills, and MC says using Shakir who is

1392
01:10:45,520 --> 01:10:48,920
Speaker 1: emerging as a legitimate option, making Nincaid more of a

1393
01:10:49,040 --> 01:10:52,719
Speaker 1: downfield weapon than earlier in the year and more commitment

1394
01:10:53,240 --> 01:10:56,840
Speaker 1: to the run game. Yeah, I'd say that's yeah three

1395
01:10:56,920 --> 01:11:01,519
Speaker 1: for three there. Yeah, Shakira has emerged, Kaid more down

1396
01:11:01,600 --> 01:11:04,280
Speaker 1: the seam and more downfield routs. Had the fifty five

1397
01:11:04,360 --> 01:11:07,599
Speaker 1: yard catch here against New England, so and he had

1398
01:11:07,640 --> 01:11:09,840
Speaker 1: the deep ball down the sidelines last week.

1399
01:11:09,760 --> 01:11:12,000
Speaker 2: He had caught that. He caught the opening passes of

1400
01:11:12,040 --> 01:11:14,000
Speaker 2: the game as well, which was like a seventeen or

1401
01:11:14,080 --> 01:11:17,240
Speaker 2: twenty yard pickup as well. So yeah, that's that's been

1402
01:11:17,320 --> 01:11:20,559
Speaker 2: great and as we've and that has been I think

1403
01:11:20,680 --> 01:11:25,280
Speaker 2: one of the benefits of having you know, Steph Diggs

1404
01:11:26,040 --> 01:11:28,000
Speaker 2: come back to the pack a little bit and his

1405
01:11:28,120 --> 01:11:30,679
Speaker 2: targets and his receptions has been the emergence of Shakir

1406
01:11:30,840 --> 01:11:34,439
Speaker 2: and Cook and Kinkaid. There's only one football in the game.

1407
01:11:34,520 --> 01:11:37,280
Speaker 2: And and I think too, one of the things that

1408
01:11:37,360 --> 01:11:39,400
Speaker 2: got skewed in this whole thing was that Dallas game

1409
01:11:40,760 --> 01:11:42,920
Speaker 2: and the fact that the offensive line has been so

1410
01:11:43,280 --> 01:11:45,280
Speaker 2: has been good in the run game. They don't mind

1411
01:11:45,360 --> 01:11:49,080
Speaker 2: handing it off. I mean there were I think there's

1412
01:11:49,080 --> 01:11:51,679
Speaker 2: been times under the sewn Sean McDermott and or Dorsey

1413
01:11:51,720 --> 01:11:54,479
Speaker 2: and even under day ball where they just they weren't

1414
01:11:54,520 --> 01:11:55,760
Speaker 2: going to hand it off. They're going to put the

1415
01:11:55,800 --> 01:11:58,400
Speaker 2: ball in Josh's hands, are gonna sling it. I think

1416
01:11:58,520 --> 01:12:02,479
Speaker 2: they're balancing that out a lot. Obviously they are a

1417
01:12:02,560 --> 01:12:05,600
Speaker 2: lot more. And I think there's by choice more so

1418
01:12:05,880 --> 01:12:09,519
Speaker 2: than by dictation of the game down in distance, and

1419
01:12:09,600 --> 01:12:13,599
Speaker 2: I think that's something I don't know if Bills fans

1420
01:12:13,720 --> 01:12:15,559
Speaker 2: know how to handle it. I don't, Because you take

1421
01:12:15,560 --> 01:12:16,800
Speaker 2: the ball out, it seems like you're taking the ball

1422
01:12:16,800 --> 01:12:18,760
Speaker 2: out of Josh's hands. He's like, you're becoming predictable. It

1423
01:12:18,800 --> 01:12:20,840
Speaker 2: seems like you're pulling back a little bit. And I

1424
01:12:20,920 --> 01:12:25,160
Speaker 2: think it's by design. And you and I were talking

1425
01:12:25,200 --> 01:12:29,360
Speaker 2: in the break that the whole atmosphere around here'd be different.

1426
01:12:29,400 --> 01:12:32,559
Speaker 2: I love where it's at right now. If Diggs catches

1427
01:12:32,640 --> 01:12:35,599
Speaker 2: the eighty five yard or early in that Dolphins game,

1428
01:12:35,880 --> 01:12:38,639
Speaker 2: and Cook catches that touchdown that he dropped in the corner,

1429
01:12:39,080 --> 01:12:43,000
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, the Bills are absolute unstoppable for us.

1430
01:12:43,080 --> 01:12:45,519
Speaker 2: Nobody's you know what I mean. Now, it's like, Okay,

1431
01:12:45,640 --> 01:12:49,000
Speaker 2: they're good. Yeah, yeah, they're not.

1432
01:12:49,920 --> 01:12:50,560
Speaker 1: I'm fine with that.

1433
01:12:50,760 --> 01:12:52,800
Speaker 2: If they if they catch those two balls up Josh

1434
01:12:53,120 --> 01:12:56,600
Speaker 2: Josh's there's no way he doesn't win the MVP. Right So,

1435
01:12:57,360 --> 01:13:00,840
Speaker 2: I think I'm okay with where they're at because I

1436
01:13:00,920 --> 01:13:04,120
Speaker 2: think it. I think it's working, really working.

1437
01:13:04,520 --> 01:13:06,760
Speaker 1: Forgive me. I think I said that New England's going

1438
01:13:06,800 --> 01:13:08,200
Speaker 1: to have a new head coach next year. That was

1439
01:13:08,240 --> 01:13:10,960
Speaker 1: me projecting my expectations on what I think, but that

1440
01:13:11,040 --> 01:13:13,840
Speaker 1: has not happened yet, right, So I apologize for that.

1441
01:13:15,120 --> 01:13:17,800
Speaker 1: I jumped the gun with what my own expectation is.

1442
01:13:17,880 --> 01:13:19,600
Speaker 1: I just don't I don't know.

1443
01:13:19,880 --> 01:13:20,479
Speaker 5: I could be wrong.

1444
01:13:20,520 --> 01:13:22,920
Speaker 1: I just don't see that. Things seemed to run its

1445
01:13:23,000 --> 01:13:26,920
Speaker 1: course and I wouldn't be surprised if Kraft pulls the plug.

1446
01:13:27,000 --> 01:13:29,400
Speaker 1: But I could be wrong. Maybe I think the longer

1447
01:13:29,479 --> 01:13:31,479
Speaker 1: we go without a decision, I think the greater the

1448
01:13:31,600 --> 01:13:32,679
Speaker 1: chance is that he's says.

1449
01:13:32,520 --> 01:13:34,760
Speaker 2: And reported that somebody says, by the end of the week,

1450
01:13:34,840 --> 01:13:38,280
Speaker 2: they gave the entire coaching staff, they gave a couple

1451
01:13:38,320 --> 01:13:40,240
Speaker 2: of weeks off to they're going to give a couple

1452
01:13:40,240 --> 01:13:41,720
Speaker 2: of weeks off. Everybody's getting out of the buildings soon

1453
01:13:41,720 --> 01:13:43,320
Speaker 2: as they finish up tying up loose ends from the

1454
01:13:43,479 --> 01:13:46,800
Speaker 2: regular season. That's over now, and their season's over. They're

1455
01:13:46,840 --> 01:13:48,200
Speaker 2: going to tie up the loose ends and they're gonna

1456
01:13:48,200 --> 01:13:50,840
Speaker 2: be off for a few weeks. And I think that, well,

1457
01:13:50,920 --> 01:13:56,879
Speaker 2: then maybe by this I bet you they will probably

1458
01:13:57,000 --> 01:14:00,599
Speaker 2: drop it. Over the weekend. During the games they can't

1459
01:14:00,600 --> 01:14:03,120
Speaker 2: talk to any They're not falling behind at all because they're.

1460
01:14:03,520 --> 01:14:06,719
Speaker 1: You can interview a head coaching candidate who is working

1461
01:14:07,520 --> 01:14:10,960
Speaker 1: or employed until after the divisional round. That's the new

1462
01:14:11,040 --> 01:14:15,600
Speaker 1: rule they put in, and usually it's the teams in

1463
01:14:15,640 --> 01:14:21,200
Speaker 1: the playoffs whose assistants are the most coveted, right, But yeah,

1464
01:14:21,240 --> 01:14:23,280
Speaker 1: I can't talk to anybody until after the divisional round,

1465
01:14:23,400 --> 01:14:25,360
Speaker 1: So you got a whole another week after this week

1466
01:14:25,840 --> 01:14:28,800

1533
01:18:07,920 --> 01:18:11,880
Speaker 1: grab your collector's class. Topic of discussion today we'll get

1534
01:18:11,920 --> 01:18:13,680
Speaker 1: back to in a moment, but we do want to

1535
01:18:13,720 --> 01:18:17,080
Speaker 1: get to Bill Center Mitch Moores, who addressed the media

1536
01:18:17,200 --> 01:18:19,240
Speaker 1: after practice today. Let's go there now.

1537
01:18:20,320 --> 01:18:24,080
Speaker 3: Supportant from guys to each other to all season, especially

1538
01:18:24,160 --> 01:18:26,400
Speaker 3: kind of since that Philly game and run you guys

1539
01:18:26,520 --> 01:18:28,479
Speaker 3: have gone since what do you think is kind.

1540
01:18:28,360 --> 01:18:30,000
Speaker 2: Of constricted that happens to get the lockerroom?

1541
01:18:30,040 --> 01:18:31,479
Speaker 3: How do you guys kind of help you guys get

1542
01:18:31,479 --> 01:18:31,800
Speaker 3: to where you.

1543
01:18:31,760 --> 01:18:35,519
Speaker 14: Are a well, I think we knew from an early

1544
01:18:35,600 --> 01:18:40,479
Speaker 14: stage in the season that we were gonna need some grit.

1545
01:18:41,280 --> 01:18:47,160
Speaker 14: We were gonna need to come together as a unit,

1546
01:18:47,640 --> 01:18:50,760
Speaker 14: not only as a unit, but as a team. When

1547
01:18:50,880 --> 01:18:54,680
Speaker 14: the outside wanted us to be so divided, right, we

1548
01:18:55,200 --> 01:18:59,000
Speaker 14: kind of insulated ourselves and I think that made for

1549
01:18:59,120 --> 01:19:02,840
Speaker 14: some really fun football. And I think it really just

1550
01:19:03,080 --> 01:19:06,560
Speaker 14: took the reins away and just gave us the opportunity

1551
01:19:06,640 --> 01:19:09,599
Speaker 14: to play freely, which is hard to do in this league.

1552
01:19:10,000 --> 01:19:12,400
Speaker 14: And it comes from the top letting you, giving you

1553
01:19:12,479 --> 01:19:15,560
Speaker 14: the opportunity to play free, But then you also do

1554
01:19:15,680 --> 01:19:17,440
Speaker 14: that through preparation and togetherness.

1555
01:19:19,120 --> 01:19:20,799
Speaker 2: To this point, that's what you've been.

1556
01:19:20,720 --> 01:19:24,320
Speaker 1: Here, it's multiple different every time. That's what they've been

1557
01:19:24,600 --> 01:19:28,640
Speaker 1: the rockiest of the brothers. They're a little more appreciation

1558
01:19:29,320 --> 01:19:31,080
Speaker 1: looking back. Now, who do you guys have to go

1559
01:19:31,160 --> 01:19:32,080
Speaker 1: through to get to this spot?

1560
01:19:33,160 --> 01:19:39,040
Speaker 14: Yeah, I'll do my perspective thinking after the fact. It

1561
01:19:39,160 --> 01:19:42,560
Speaker 14: has been tumultuous at times, to say the least, but

1562
01:19:44,080 --> 01:19:46,520
Speaker 14: you're rarely going to have an easy road to the playoffs.

1563
01:19:46,560 --> 01:19:49,479
Speaker 14: And we're very appreciative of where we are. But at

1564
01:19:49,520 --> 01:19:54,360
Speaker 14: the same time, we have one guaranteed opportunity somewhat like

1565
01:19:54,439 --> 01:19:57,240
Speaker 14: what we've had the last five weeks, So just trying

1566
01:19:57,280 --> 01:19:59,240
Speaker 14: to take it one moment in time, get our bodies

1567
01:19:59,320 --> 01:20:01,320
Speaker 14: right understanding. We're gonna have to face a very physical

1568
01:20:01,400 --> 01:20:03,479
Speaker 14: AFC North team that's kind of their brand of football,

1569
01:20:03,479 --> 01:20:07,600
Speaker 14: the FC North, and and we know that if we

1570
01:20:07,640 --> 01:20:09,800
Speaker 14: want to have any sort of success on Sunday, we're

1571
01:20:09,800 --> 01:20:13,879
Speaker 14: gonna have to match their physicality and intensity targets.

1572
01:20:14,000 --> 01:20:16,720
Speaker 3: Dangles in the playoffs weren't great. Sounds like there's a

1573
01:20:16,800 --> 01:20:18,439
Speaker 3: possibility that they won't be great again.

1574
01:20:18,600 --> 01:20:20,559
Speaker 13: And do you think back on that game.

1575
01:20:20,760 --> 01:20:22,680
Speaker 3: And try to maybe take anything from it.

1576
01:20:22,680 --> 01:20:24,160
Speaker 2: In terms of how you prepare for this one?

1577
01:20:25,280 --> 01:20:26,960
Speaker 14: Uh, you know, you let the chips follow the man.

1578
01:20:27,000 --> 01:20:28,920
Speaker 14: Regards to the weather, you understand that it could play

1579
01:20:28,920 --> 01:20:31,400
Speaker 14: a role into how you call a game or how

1580
01:20:31,439 --> 01:20:35,559
Speaker 14: a game's called. But I mean, I think more than anything,

1581
01:20:35,680 --> 01:20:39,560
Speaker 14: you talk to the equipment staff about your your footwear,

1582
01:20:40,840 --> 01:20:42,560
Speaker 14: because as long as you have your feet underneath you,

1583
01:20:43,320 --> 01:20:45,599
Speaker 14: you have an opportunity to make a block or make

1584
01:20:45,680 --> 01:20:48,400
Speaker 14: a catch. So if for rest, they'll just be having,

1585
01:20:49,600 --> 01:20:50,920
Speaker 14: excuse me, our feet underneath us.

1586
01:20:51,920 --> 01:20:53,840
Speaker 9: Like you evolved as a person in the game of

1587
01:20:53,920 --> 01:20:57,000
Speaker 9: all this, all those things he talks about grit, You

1588
01:20:57,040 --> 01:20:59,240
Speaker 9: feel like this offense and am not trying to compare

1589
01:20:59,280 --> 01:21:00,680
Speaker 9: it to yours. Pass By has a little bit more

1590
01:21:01,400 --> 01:21:05,360
Speaker 9: grit this year to maybe handle the elements, handle playoff football,

1591
01:21:05,439 --> 01:21:06,719
Speaker 9: handle more physical style.

1592
01:21:08,439 --> 01:21:08,639
Speaker 2: Ah.

1593
01:21:09,760 --> 01:21:11,160
Speaker 14: I mean, you always like to think you're a great

1594
01:21:11,200 --> 01:21:15,000
Speaker 14: football team, and you always like to think you're battle tested.

1595
01:21:16,040 --> 01:21:22,840
Speaker 14: We've had to win games and multiple fashions on the ground,

1596
01:21:23,000 --> 01:21:28,200
Speaker 14: for instance, So you really have a game plan. And

1597
01:21:28,240 --> 01:21:32,000
Speaker 14: then half the battle in the NFL is just making

1598
01:21:32,080 --> 01:21:35,960
Speaker 14: the appropriate adjustments on the sidelines and keeping your demeanor

1599
01:21:36,360 --> 01:21:38,479
Speaker 14: with stuff isn't going right, or stuff that you thought

1600
01:21:38,600 --> 01:21:40,840
Speaker 14: was gonna work isn't expected to work and then having

1601
01:21:41,280 --> 01:21:44,320
Speaker 14: open line of communication and when going from there, were

1602
01:21:44,320 --> 01:21:44,720
Speaker 14: moving the.

1603
01:21:44,760 --> 01:21:47,360
Speaker 3: Ball up and down the field last week, and for

1604
01:21:47,920 --> 01:21:50,000
Speaker 3: a couple of different reasons, weren't able to finish driving

1605
01:21:50,040 --> 01:21:52,880
Speaker 3: with points. But when you know you got Josh on

1606
01:21:52,960 --> 01:21:55,240
Speaker 3: your side, do you just kind of feel like you're

1607
01:21:55,280 --> 01:21:58,200
Speaker 3: always in the game and then there's the possibility that

1608
01:21:58,280 --> 01:22:00,559
Speaker 3: things are going to turn and turn working out?

1609
01:22:01,640 --> 01:22:02,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, totally.

1610
01:22:02,360 --> 01:22:06,560
Speaker 14: I think talking about playing free, when you have Josh quarterback,

1611
01:22:06,640 --> 01:22:09,280
Speaker 14: you just you know a big play could happen in

1612
01:22:09,280 --> 01:22:11,000
Speaker 14: any moment, and you understand that he can get you

1613
01:22:11,080 --> 01:22:14,000
Speaker 14: out of a lot of trouble that you can put

1614
01:22:14,040 --> 01:22:20,080
Speaker 14: him in. And he's just he's QB one for a reason.

1615
01:22:20,160 --> 01:22:23,160
Speaker 2: And we got his back implicitly.

1616
01:22:24,360 --> 01:22:26,839
Speaker 9: On the play a third and thirteen where he scrambled

1617
01:22:26,880 --> 01:22:28,240
Speaker 9: for fifteen yards and he kicks it out.

1618
01:22:28,840 --> 01:22:29,840
Speaker 5: What was your advantage point?

1619
01:22:30,160 --> 01:22:33,160
Speaker 14: What was my advantage point? Well, we got picked pretty

1620
01:22:33,160 --> 01:22:38,600
Speaker 14: good on a tackle tackle twist and I might have

1621
01:22:38,640 --> 01:22:40,800
Speaker 14: held a little bit. So I just didn't want to

1622
01:22:40,880 --> 01:22:43,000
Speaker 14: look back at the ref to see because if you

1623
01:22:43,040 --> 01:22:48,800
Speaker 14: look back, you show guilt. But I mean what you

1624
01:22:48,840 --> 01:22:52,920
Speaker 14: saw was just a guy who's so resilient and really

1625
01:22:53,040 --> 01:22:55,760
Speaker 14: when the when his numbers called, lays all out there

1626
01:22:55,800 --> 01:22:57,240
Speaker 14: for you, and like I said before, it gets you

1627
01:22:57,320 --> 01:22:59,600
Speaker 14: out of sticky situations that you put him in.

1628
01:23:00,960 --> 01:23:03,400
Speaker 9: Does it feel like going from Miami and the speed

1629
01:23:03,880 --> 01:23:05,400
Speaker 9: to Pittsburgh and the pitsmesside the.

1630
01:23:05,400 --> 01:23:06,960
Speaker 11: Deal you drop me to track me to like a

1631
01:23:07,040 --> 01:23:07,599
Speaker 11: boxing net.

1632
01:23:08,320 --> 01:23:10,680
Speaker 14: Now, you really don't think about it that way. You

1633
01:23:10,880 --> 01:23:12,960
Speaker 14: you've played enough games now that you've seen different in

1634
01:23:13,040 --> 01:23:17,600
Speaker 14: styles of defense, and so you just kind of just

1635
01:23:17,760 --> 01:23:22,560
Speaker 14: understand what the formulas for that specific week map you.

1636
01:23:23,880 --> 01:23:27,560
Speaker 2: You said, held on that play thirty thirteen, right, like

1637
01:23:27,800 --> 01:23:29,000
Speaker 2: you ever tell yourself before the.

1638
01:23:29,000 --> 01:23:31,639
Speaker 13: Snap in a scenario like that, like, do not hold

1639
01:23:31,680 --> 01:23:32,400
Speaker 13: on this play out.

1640
01:23:32,280 --> 01:23:34,160
Speaker 14: Of a thousand percent? Yeah, I don't know if it

1641
01:23:34,240 --> 01:23:35,760
Speaker 14: was a whole. I just I'd know that if I

1642
01:23:35,800 --> 01:23:38,800
Speaker 14: look back on like a fifty to fifty ball, it's

1643
01:23:38,880 --> 01:23:40,240
Speaker 14: not great. I don't think it was a hole, to

1644
01:23:40,320 --> 01:23:42,280
Speaker 14: be honest. We we just kind of sealed it off

1645
01:23:42,360 --> 01:23:48,920
Speaker 14: and when a defensive linement falls, you just kind of yeah,

1646
01:23:48,920 --> 01:23:50,439
Speaker 14: of course. I think when you when you pass the

1647
01:23:50,479 --> 01:23:52,639
Speaker 14: thirty five in our instance, you look in the huddle

1648
01:23:52,680 --> 01:23:55,280
Speaker 14: and what we always talk about is the best thing

1649
01:23:55,320 --> 01:23:57,160
Speaker 14: we can do is end up with points right now.

1650
01:23:57,280 --> 01:24:03,519
Speaker 14: So I mean, be smart with the ball, keep your

1651
01:24:03,560 --> 01:24:08,320
Speaker 14: hands inside, follow the ball. Let's not take unnecessary hits

1652
01:24:08,439 --> 01:24:10,200
Speaker 14: or sacks if we can. I mean, there's certain things

1653
01:24:10,240 --> 01:24:12,880
Speaker 14: you can't control, and then we at least give Tyler

1654
01:24:12,920 --> 01:24:14,559
Speaker 14: an opportunity to kick the field goal.

1655
01:24:14,800 --> 01:24:15,680
Speaker 2: This virus is.

1656
01:24:15,920 --> 01:24:20,280
Speaker 1: Person Do you talk to rookies and kind of explain

1657
01:24:20,400 --> 01:24:22,960
Speaker 1: what to expect in the flow season or is it

1658
01:24:23,040 --> 01:24:24,200
Speaker 1: something you just have to figure out.

1659
01:24:25,040 --> 01:24:26,479
Speaker 14: No, I don't think it's something that have to totally

1660
01:24:26,520 --> 01:24:29,840
Speaker 14: figure out. I think they'll they know the magnitude of

1661
01:24:29,880 --> 01:24:32,600
Speaker 14: the game, they feel it. It's palpable. I think the

1662
01:24:32,680 --> 01:24:34,040
Speaker 14: thing you have to tell them more often than not

1663
01:24:34,240 --> 01:24:38,000
Speaker 14: is you know what's worked in the past. Don't change

1664
01:24:38,680 --> 01:24:41,040
Speaker 14: your game or change what you know works because of

1665
01:24:41,120 --> 01:24:44,160
Speaker 14: the stakes. When you start doing that is when you

1666
01:24:44,240 --> 01:24:45,760
Speaker 14: get yourself in peculiar situations.

1667
01:24:46,040 --> 01:24:47,320
Speaker 2: So awesome.

1668
01:24:48,000 --> 01:24:51,639
Speaker 1: So that's Mitch Morris addressing the media. Had a pretty

1669
01:24:51,680 --> 01:24:54,439
Speaker 1: self effacing comment. I might have held a little, but

1670
01:24:54,560 --> 01:24:56,680
Speaker 1: don't turn around and look at the rev to see

1671
01:24:56,720 --> 01:24:59,160
Speaker 1: if there's a flag because that shows guilt. That is

1672
01:24:59,200 --> 01:25:00,360
Speaker 1: a veteran move right there.

1673
01:25:00,400 --> 01:25:01,360
Speaker 2: It's totally savvy.

1674
01:25:01,439 --> 01:25:02,479
Speaker 1: Met it as a veteran move.

1675
01:25:02,600 --> 01:25:05,200
Speaker 2: Those are the kind of in depth conversations that happen

1676
01:25:05,280 --> 01:25:07,680
Speaker 2: in film study. Say what did you know?

1677
01:25:07,760 --> 01:25:10,800
Speaker 1: You had really good on this tackle tackle stunt? So

1678
01:25:10,840 --> 01:25:12,760
Speaker 1: I had to hold a little, But I didn't look

1679
01:25:12,800 --> 01:25:15,000
Speaker 1: back at the ref after the play because that show's guilt.

1680
01:25:15,640 --> 01:25:17,080
Speaker 1: Well done, Mitch, well done.

1681
01:25:17,120 --> 01:25:19,880
Speaker 2: That's right. That's how you do it. And believe me,

1682
01:25:19,960 --> 01:25:23,479
Speaker 2: that's it's a coaching point. You don't act like you

1683
01:25:23,560 --> 01:25:27,639
Speaker 2: did anything. Yeah. Played. It's hard to do though, because

1684
01:25:27,680 --> 01:25:29,920
Speaker 2: man o, man, because you feel like as a player,

1685
01:25:30,680 --> 01:25:32,519
Speaker 2: and it's not true, but you feel like as a

1686
01:25:32,520 --> 01:25:34,760
Speaker 2: player that the officials are just as desperate as you

1687
01:25:34,840 --> 01:25:36,479
Speaker 2: are in that moment, you know what I mean, You

1688
01:25:36,600 --> 01:25:39,760
Speaker 2: project your emotions onto everybody around you that it's like

1689
01:25:39,840 --> 01:25:42,080
Speaker 2: the ration that's right, And you turn around and the

1690
01:25:42,120 --> 01:25:43,880
Speaker 2: officials not even looking at you, and it's like, okay,

1691
01:25:43,920 --> 01:25:44,599
Speaker 2: I got away with one.

1692
01:25:44,680 --> 01:25:45,360
Speaker 1: It's shit.

1693
01:25:45,720 --> 01:25:48,120
Speaker 2: But you didn't need to look at him, right, he doesn't.

1694
01:25:48,800 --> 01:25:51,679
Speaker 2: So it's it's an I think it's a human nature

1695
01:25:51,880 --> 01:25:56,280
Speaker 2: and it's part of why, you know, part of why

1696
01:25:56,360 --> 01:26:00,120
Speaker 2: you do compound your own mistakes by you know, you

1697
01:26:00,320 --> 01:26:02,920
Speaker 2: commit a penalty. You know it's a penalty to get

1698
01:26:03,000 --> 01:26:07,800
Speaker 2: up and try and act like it wasn't your fault. Well,

1699
01:26:07,840 --> 01:26:09,800
Speaker 2: what are you talking about? What wasn't your fault? Well,

1700
01:26:09,800 --> 01:26:12,040
Speaker 2: when I pushed that guy in the back right. So

1701
01:26:13,640 --> 01:26:17,840
Speaker 2: it's an it's an interesting it's an interesting mindset that

1702
01:26:18,360 --> 01:26:20,120
Speaker 2: you have to have as a player. And these guys

1703
01:26:20,160 --> 01:26:23,080
Speaker 2: have you have conce I'm sure Mitch Morris has sit

1704
01:26:23,160 --> 01:26:26,799
Speaker 2: there with Dion Dakins and all those guys, and McGovern

1705
01:26:26,960 --> 01:26:31,439
Speaker 2: and coach Kromer and Cromer and Brownt you know, Spencer

1706
01:26:31,520 --> 01:26:33,680
Speaker 2: Brown and Osires. They're all sitting there going, well, I

1707
01:26:33,800 --> 01:26:35,720
Speaker 2: didn't want to look at the official because I knew

1708
01:26:35,720 --> 01:26:37,120
Speaker 2: how held him, but I didn't want to let him know.

1709
01:26:37,320 --> 01:26:39,960
Speaker 2: Osira's is sitting there going, oh, I got it. Yeah,

1710
01:26:40,160 --> 01:26:41,840
Speaker 2: so you don't want it like you didn't look at him?

1711
01:26:41,840 --> 01:26:43,320
Speaker 2: He goes, No, you can't look at the official when

1712
01:26:43,320 --> 01:26:46,000
Speaker 2: you when you hold the guy, don't look. That's it.

1713
01:26:46,360 --> 01:26:49,840
Speaker 2: It's hard to do. It is hard to do, but

1714
01:26:49,960 --> 01:26:50,960
Speaker 2: it's a great coaching move.

1715
01:26:51,160 --> 01:26:51,360
Speaker 1: It is.

1716
01:26:51,479 --> 01:26:53,080
Speaker 2: That's why veterans are so key.

1717

Speaker 1: Got to take a break here, Steve and I to

1727
01:27:39,000 --> 01:27:42,599
Speaker 1: Some final thoughts on the tweetsheet. What encourages you most

1728
01:27:42,600 --> 01:27:45,120
Speaker 1: about the Bills offense since Joe Brady took over, Ryan

1729
01:27:45,240 --> 01:27:49,040
Speaker 1: says attitude, and we had another caller earlier, Steve that

1730
01:27:49,160 --> 01:27:52,080
Speaker 1: kind of referenced something similar, and I think it is

1731
01:27:52,720 --> 01:27:56,479
Speaker 1: ultimately what cost Can Dorseyy his job. When he was

1732
01:27:56,560 --> 01:27:58,880
Speaker 1: first relieved of his duties. We heard head coach Sean

1733
01:27:58,960 --> 01:28:03,320
Speaker 1: McDermott say the offense needed a new energy, and I

1734
01:28:03,439 --> 01:28:08,080
Speaker 1: think there was there was a collective exhale from the

1735
01:28:08,160 --> 01:28:12,519
Speaker 1: players on offense once Brady came in and kind of

1736
01:28:12,560 --> 01:28:15,600
Speaker 1: delivered his initial message, which was, hey, look, guys, I

1737
01:28:15,720 --> 01:28:17,800
Speaker 1: trust you. It's not all going to be perfect, it's

1738
01:28:17,840 --> 01:28:19,880
Speaker 1: not all going to go right all the time, but

1739
01:28:20,560 --> 01:28:22,679
Speaker 1: will work hard to put you in position to succeed,

1740
01:28:23,479 --> 01:28:27,920
Speaker 1: and we trust you. I think when things didn't work

1741
01:28:28,000 --> 01:28:31,240
Speaker 1: exactly right on offense, when Dorsey was still calling the shots,

1742
01:28:32,080 --> 01:28:34,920
Speaker 1: he got tight, more intense because you know, the intense

1743
01:28:34,960 --> 01:28:37,559
Speaker 1: competitor that he is, and I think it made everybody

1744
01:28:37,560 --> 01:28:40,040
Speaker 1: else tight. And when you're tight, it's hard to execute

1745
01:28:41,000 --> 01:28:41,760
Speaker 1: because you're just tight.

1746
01:28:42,040 --> 01:28:46,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no question. It affects your performance when when

1747
01:28:46,120 --> 01:28:49,280
Speaker 2: you're worried about the consequences of failure, it affects your

1748
01:28:49,320 --> 01:28:52,320
Speaker 2: performance and and your ability to be successful. And it's

1749
01:28:52,720 --> 01:28:55,920
Speaker 2: you know, it's one of the reasons people freeze up

1750
01:28:56,080 --> 01:29:01,120
Speaker 2: intense moments and big moments in athletic and athletic games

1751
01:29:01,160 --> 01:29:05,040
Speaker 2: and competitions. They they they worry too much about what's

1752
01:29:05,080 --> 01:29:05,519
Speaker 2: gonna happen.

1753
01:29:05,560 --> 01:29:07,040
Speaker 1: If they don't, a bad thing that's gonna happen, right,

1754
01:29:07,160 --> 01:29:07,880
Speaker 1: So worrying.

1755
01:29:07,600 --> 01:29:10,479
Speaker 2: About instead of trusting themselves and just going for it. Yep,

1756
01:29:11,360 --> 01:29:13,040
Speaker 2: it's a problem. And there was a little bit of

1757
01:29:13,080 --> 01:29:16,960
Speaker 2: that maybe before Joe Brady. I don't know, but yeah,

1758
01:29:17,600 --> 01:29:18,680
Speaker 2: it's always a better place to.

1759
01:29:18,720 --> 01:29:21,000
Speaker 1: Be carl on the tweets, she says being able to

1760
01:29:21,160 --> 01:29:24,760
Speaker 1: rely on the running game if needed and this week

1761
01:29:25,040 --> 01:29:27,519
Speaker 1: could very well be one of the bigger tests in

1762
01:29:27,600 --> 01:29:30,960
Speaker 1: that area against the team that loves to mash up

1763
01:29:31,000 --> 01:29:31,719
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage.

1764
01:29:31,720 --> 01:29:34,360
Speaker 2: Wellus, you may just you may have to run it.

1765
01:29:34,479 --> 01:29:36,200
Speaker 2: You may not get to throw. You know you're going

1766
01:29:36,240 --> 01:29:38,040
Speaker 2: into that into the scoreboard and you get down there,

1767
01:29:38,040 --> 01:29:39,519
Speaker 2: it may not be a chance for you to throw

1768
01:29:39,560 --> 01:29:41,200
Speaker 2: it because it's just yeah, I can't get it through.

1769
01:29:41,760 --> 01:29:45,320
Speaker 1: That's it for us today. More on Bill Steelers tomorrow.

1770
