He was kind of a 3 00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:18,160 Speaker 1: dual role player for you, state Steve a blimp. We're 4 00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:25,040 Speaker 1: not even in the stratosphere of normalcy here. Let's dial 5 00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:28,680 Speaker 1: it up here on a Tuesday one, Bill's Live, Chris Brown, 6 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,880 Speaker 1: Steve Tasker with you as our MSG viewers are taking 7 00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:34,760 Speaker 1: a look from the scoreboard end of Bill Stadium at 8 00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:39,559 Speaker 1: the field. Cloudy skies out here right around the freezing 9 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,120 Speaker 1: mark today for most of the day, and beauty day 10 00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:45,560 Speaker 1: though beautiful Orchard Park broadcasting live from the Seneca Studios. 11 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:49,400 Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you as always, and ready 12 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:54,840 Speaker 1: to begin our preparations for this week fifteen matchup with 13 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos. But before we do that, we would 14 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,639 Speaker 1: be remiss if we did not discuss the game of 15 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:08,959 Speaker 1: the year between the Browns and the Ravens last night. Steve. 16 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 1: You know, coming off the Sunday night game, all of 17 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 1: us working stiffs are short on sleep, you know, from 18 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 1: our various job responsibilities for that game. And I am 19 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:25,200 Speaker 1: ready to pack it in at like ninety five last night. 20 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,039 Speaker 1: You know, the eyes are getting heavy. I listen, I 21 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 1: did pack it in. You didn't see it live, No, 22 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 1: I watched it this morning. Oh you're a better man 23 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,120 Speaker 1: than me in terms of taking care of yourself, because 24 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 1: that thing started to get interesting. It's twenty eight fourteen. 25 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: Late in the third quarter. I left. It was like 26 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 1: twenty one fourteen or twenty one seven. So they're down 27 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 1: twenty eight fourteen. Um, let me see here. So early 28 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 1: third quarter, they're down twenty eight fourteen. Justus Edwards goes 29 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 1: in for the rushing touchdown. I left at halftime when 30 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield ran the guy into the goalpost with the 31 00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 1: hail marriage. Oh yeah, there you go. That was a 32 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,560 Speaker 1: good idea. That was. So I'm like, all right, I'll 33 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 1: go to bed and I'll just watch it and watch it, 34 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,799 Speaker 1: you know, in the bedroom, put the TV on there. 35 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 1: So my poor wife's trying to go to sleep, and 36 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 1: I'm I am trying really hard not to be like, oh, 37 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,119 Speaker 1: you know, like you're going nuts watching this game. Oh 38 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 1: my gosh. So I got the volume down. I'm trying to, 39 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 1: you know, be respectful here, but I'm also trying to 40 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 1: take care of myself and get some sleeping behind on. Honey, honey, 41 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 1: you need to see this you need to see this. No, no, 42 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 1: I know not to do that. I know not to 43 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: do that. Um to me. So this thing starts turning 44 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 1: and the Browns steal back the momentum. Lamar Jackson's in 45 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 1: the locker room getting an IV and uh, it's crazy 46 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:54,239 Speaker 1: like Trace mcsorley's on the field. He goes three and out. 47 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 1: He cannot move the ball. The Browns come back down 48 00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:01,519 Speaker 1: the field again. They go up thirty four to twenty. 49 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: It's crazy or no. The Ravens went up thirty four twenty, 50 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,799 Speaker 1: then Baker to Higgins thirty four to twenty eight. Mayfield 51 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:12,960 Speaker 1: runs it in himself. They take a one point lead 52 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:17,080 Speaker 1: thirty five thirty four. So it's already been a couple 53 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 1: of series. So second series. McSorley comes out and they 54 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 1: get a first down, but then on a third down 55 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 1: he tries to go on a keeper and slides on 56 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 1: the grass. Looks like he tears his acl with his 57 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 1: left knee, goes down in a heap. He's grabbing his knee. 58 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 1: Lamar is still in the locker room. Everybody's like, holy crow, 59 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 1: this thing is crumbling. For the Ravens. They got who 60 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 1: was taking snaps on the sideline over there. It's one 61 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 1: of the crews I don't even remember, but Snead or 62 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 1: somebody McSorley. So they're helping McSorley off the field. All 63 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 1: of a sudden, Lamar's out of the locker room. Here 64 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 1: he comes. Oh my gosh, you know, but it's fourth 65 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 1: and five. The guy hasn't played in like fifteen minutes 66 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 1: to a half an hour in real time. He comes out. 67 00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 1: It's fourth and five. They have him on a rollout 68 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 1: play and these two defensive backs gets sucked up because 69 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 1: they're worried about him running for the first down on 70 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: fourth and five, and he just chucks it to Hollywood 71 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 1: and Hollywood who dropped three passes in a row in 72 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 1: the game touchdown. Cleveland fans are like, what are you doing? 73 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 1: It was it was unbelievable. That was unbelievable play. So 74 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,919 Speaker 1: I'm sitting there going holy cow, like I couldn't believe 75 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: what was going on. And I know, you know, if 76 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 1: you're a Bills fan, you're rooting for the Browns to 77 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 1: win so that they can clinch a playoff. Berth, I'm 78 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 1: not worried about that. Bills are gonna do that this 79 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 1: weekend in Denver. I'm not really really not concerned. They'll 80 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 1: take care of it. So so now you're thinking, okay, 81 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:43,479 Speaker 1: now it's forty two forty two, we're tied after the 82 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:49,600 Speaker 1: extra point, so uh so that I'm sorry, that was 83 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 1: forty two thirty five. So now they're up a touchdove 84 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 1: and they got it like what two minutes to go, 85 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,360 Speaker 1: like like one fifty one left yet two minute more? Yeah, 86 00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 1: that was at the two minute Browns. Browns come back 87 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,360 Speaker 1: the other way. Mayfield marches him right down the field 88 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,600 Speaker 1: because the Ravens have a problem with cornerback. They've got 89 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,280 Speaker 1: two injuries. Devin Harris, who was the backup, he goes out, 90 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,159 Speaker 1: so now they've got a guy that plays safety playing corner. 91 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,280 Speaker 1: It was insane. So the Browns kind of had their 92 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 1: way because they're given big fat cushion. Kareem Hunt goes 93 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 1: in with a great stretch around the pylon and now 94 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 1: which he probably should have come up short and save 95 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 1: the time. So now it's tied again. It's tied again 96 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:29,919 Speaker 1: at forty two, and so basically Lamar and company have 97 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 1: about a minute to work with which and to win. Well, yeah, 98 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 1: except it's a fifty five yard or on grass, and 99 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,719 Speaker 1: I don't care if it's Justin Tucker, the best kicker 100 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 1: that God ever made. It's fifty five yards on grass. 101 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 1: And if you watch the replay on the kick, his 102 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:54,719 Speaker 1: plant foot slides ever so slightly as he sticks it 103 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 1: in the ground, and I'm like, oh, there's no doubt 104 00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 1: because there were a ton of guys falling all over 105 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 1: the play. Lamar Jackson, All these guys were falling all 106 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,480 Speaker 1: over the place all night on that And that's that's 107 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 1: where kickers fall victim to long distance misses sometimes because 108 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,680 Speaker 1: they know they need a fast and hard approach to 109 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 1: get momentum into the ball. So when you're kicking something 110 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 1: fifty five yards or more, you're racing into that ball 111 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 1: to get as much momentum in and through the ball 112 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,799 Speaker 1: as you can to get as much distance as possible. 113 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 1: And so his planned foot slides a little bit, and 114 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:30,039 Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, oh, he might Does he have it? 115 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 1: Because when your planned foot slides on you, you're at 116 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 1: a risk to hook the ball and he's still tucked 117 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 1: it inside that left upright, man. And I mean, you're 118 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 1: not talking about a money kicker. That guy is best ever. 119 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,719 Speaker 1: He is the Cats, no question. Is the Cats. So 120 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 1: he puts that through with two or seconds less. There 121 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 1: were some good ones during my career, but man, he's uh, 122 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,680 Speaker 1: there's been a handful of fantastic kickers, and he is 123 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 1: in the conversation for one of the best ever. That 124 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,160 Speaker 1: was I don't know that was the game of the 125 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,160 Speaker 1: year for me, just the back and fourth. Yeah, nature 126 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:02,839 Speaker 1: of that game. It was kind of boring in the 127 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:04,839 Speaker 1: first quarter and a half. Two well, that was the 128 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,799 Speaker 1: other thing. So I didn't really pick it up until 129 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 1: early stages third quarter. I was running around doing first task. 130 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 1: Was like, I was running around doing Christmas stuff, wrapping gifts, 131 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,679 Speaker 1: you know, trying to get stuff done because we're getting 132 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 1: closed here. I looked at my I looked at my calendar. 133 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 1: I was like, oh, it's the fourteen, Like we're under 134 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 1: two weeks here. I better get cracking, like you know 135 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 1: what I mean. So, I mean, I've got everything I need, 136 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 1: but I haven't. I've got nothing wrapped. So I was 137 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 1: trying to catch up on that, and I didn't pick 138 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 1: the game up till the third quarter. But apparently I 139 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 1: waited for the right moment to join the game because 140 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 1: that was that was fantastic and The thing that I 141 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 1: came away from the game with was the AFC is stacked. 142 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:49,239 Speaker 1: The AFC is stacked. Man, there are gonna be teams 143 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 1: in the AFC that don't make the playoffs that you 144 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 1: could make an argument would be like a top three 145 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 1: team in the NFC, like or maybe not top three, 146 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 1: but maybe a top five team in the NFC. Yeah, 147 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 1: you know, Um, there's gonna be some teams on the 148 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 1: outside looking in that could probably make some hay in 149 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 1: the NFC. I don't know, I just I'm looking at 150 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 1: some of these teams like we look at you take Indianapolis. Well, 151 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 1: the three that are there this week today Cleveland, Indianapolis, 152 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 1: Miami nine and four, nine and four, eight and five 153 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 1: is Miami the other two and nine and four. Then 154 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 1: you go out to Arizona's seven and six at the 155 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 1: seven spot, Tampa's eight and five, Seattle nine and four, 156 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 1: Washington six and seven. Yeah, that there's some And think 157 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 1: about this. The Buffalo is three and one against the 158 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 1: NFC West with a Hail Mary from being four and 159 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:46,840 Speaker 1: oh there's the AFC complain. Yeah, and I mean Miami's 160 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 1: got Miami Beatum, Miami beat a couple of those end 161 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 1: they beat the they beat the Cardinals. Miami beat the 162 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 1: Cardinals because they're playing the NFC West. Also, Um, you know, 163 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,679 Speaker 1: so I don't know I'm looking at I'm looking at teams. 164 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:06,680 Speaker 1: I'm looking at teams like Cleveland Indian Miami seeds five, 165 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 1: six and seven, Cleveland Indie Miami. And then I'm looking 166 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 1: at like Washington. Miami's three and one in the against 167 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:20,199 Speaker 1: the NFC. Yeah, so I'm looking at like Washington, Tampa, Arizona. 168 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,320 Speaker 1: I mean, Tampa's got flaws. I mean they can do 169 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:27,080 Speaker 1: some things. They're talented, but they've got some flaws. And 170 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 1: Arizona I don't think they've figured it out yet. I 171 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 1: think they have talent and they can hang thirty points 172 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,960 Speaker 1: on you in any given week, but there's other times 173 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 1: where I'm like, I just don't think they don't. They 174 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 1: don't look battle tested to me. I don't know. Maybe 175 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 1: I'm crazy because they do play in the NFC West 176 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 1: and they gotta play a lot of tough teams. But 177 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 1: I just think the AFC. Like top ten teams in 178 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 1: the AFC, I just think they're miles better than the 179 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 1: top ten teams. In the end. New England is the 180 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 1: tenth best team in the AFC. They're six and seven. 181 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:02,079 Speaker 1: Vegas is seven six, number nine. Then, of course, then 182 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 1: it goes from Baltimore the eight team, all the way 183 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,040 Speaker 1: up through the number one Kansas City. Those are eight 184 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 1: eight wins are betty better And the NFC, they've got 185 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 1: five teams that have got eight wins. Five in the 186 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:22,320 Speaker 1: NFC because you got to throw the Washington Washington's out. 187 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 1: I mean, you have six teams with nine wins in 188 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 1: the AFC. That's that's a lot. Come on, it's a 189 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 1: lot of wins. That does a lot of wins. Somebody, 190 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:31,199 Speaker 1: you know what, I'll tell you what. Think about this. 191 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,200 Speaker 1: Now you get seven teams in there this year, I 192 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:35,959 Speaker 1: get it. But you're gonna have a ten win team 193 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 1: might be on the outside looking in and won't get 194 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 1: to the playoffs. There has been a year with an 195 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:44,080 Speaker 1: extra playoff Berth right, think about that, right, A ten 196 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 1: win team will not get into the playoffs for the 197 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 1: AFC extra playoff Berth this year. That's crazy. There has 198 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:53,719 Speaker 1: been times in the old format where there are only 199 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 1: six teams in where an eleven and five team did 200 00:10:55,840 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 1: not get in. That was the Denver Broncos in eighty 201 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:08,080 Speaker 1: something eighty nine, eighty nine, ninety. That's really rare. That 202 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:11,079 Speaker 1: is very rare. But it's happened. Though it has happened, 203 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 1: I think it's less likely it happened. Now with seven 204 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 1: on either side, fourteen to eleven wins and you're eleven wins, 205 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 1: you're you're pretty you're safer now than you've ever been, 206 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,600 Speaker 1: right with seven playoff birds on each side of the 207 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,560 Speaker 1: But you think about this, Baltimore, if you go back 208 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,720 Speaker 1: and here's what, here's the problem. You go to these Uh, 209 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 1: the probability of Baltimore is is the eighth teen. They're 210 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 1: out of the playoffs right now, they have an eighty 211 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:37,559 Speaker 1: eight percent chance of getting in. Their schedule is pretty favorable. 212 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 1: I mean, I got it right here. Yeah, they're Baltimore. 213 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 1: Jacksonville they play this coming week, then the Giants and 214 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 1: then the Bengals. I mean, okay there, the road could 215 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,319 Speaker 1: not be going ten to six. That's why the game 216 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 1: last night was so huge for them, because going ten 217 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 1: and six, they're eight and five. Right now, they're gonna 218 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,840 Speaker 1: go they're gonna have eleven wins. They're gonna have eleven wins, right, 219 00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 1: So that's Baltimore. I mean that's huge for them, right, 220 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,959 Speaker 1: You've got the thing as well in Indianapolis, I think 221 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 1: is one of those teams too. They've got Houston next, 222 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:10,720 Speaker 1: then they play the Steelers, then they play the Jaguars. 223 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 1: So they've got they're gonna win at least two more. 224 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 1: But think about the Browns though, Just tell me what 225 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:17,960 Speaker 1: you think about this, because all right, they lose, they're 226 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:21,200 Speaker 1: now nine and four, but they are at the Giants 227 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 1: that should be a win. At the Jets that's a win. 228 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 1: And then home against Pittsburgh in week seventeen when they 229 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,960 Speaker 1: might be resting all their starters, and it's they'll have 230 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,960 Speaker 1: eleven wins at that point with the Jets, and oh 231 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 1: that game could mean something. Holy crap. If the Steelers lose. 232 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,720 Speaker 1: Let's just say the Steelers continue to struggle, lose to Cincinnati. 233 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: They ain't gonna lose to Cincinnati, brough, they probably shouldn't, 234 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 1: all right, say they do though, and then they got Indie. 235 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 1: Indie needs the game. They'll lose to Indye, so they'll 236 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 1: let's put them. Let's put them at twelve and three, 237 00:12:55,640 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh going into Cleveland. So if Cleveland beats the Giants 238 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 1: and the Jets they're eleven and four. Whoa douggie, whoa 239 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 1: the train whistle? I am loving this. There's some I 240 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,200 Speaker 1: am loving this. I have said about that for the Steelers. 241 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:16,719 Speaker 1: You get to the last week of the season and 242 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,080 Speaker 1: he's thinking, you know, Tomlin's probably thinking, right now, all right, 243 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 1: I got eleven wins, We're in the playoffs. I gotta 244 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 1: give my guys a break. Like they're hanging. I mean, 245 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 1: you saw them on Sunday night. They're exhausted, They're done, 246 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:29,679 Speaker 1: they are exhausted. Now they can get it back. There 247 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 1: was even talk in Pittsburgh today or yesterday about the 248 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:37,959 Speaker 1: prospect of resting guys this week. Yes, they were talking 249 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 1: about that. Means that makes more sense to me than 250 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 1: waiting until the game. You know what I mean, that 251 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:45,080 Speaker 1: makes more sense to me. Give him get he should 252 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:49,439 Speaker 1: Sunday night, guys, I'll see you Thursday. I don't want 253 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 1: to see you go home and you swim and then 254 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:55,720 Speaker 1: people sit people Sunday too. What about that? Yeah, if 255 00:13:55,760 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 1: you can give Duck Dodgers, get Duck Dodger. The start, 256 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 1: Duck Dodgers just Hodges. You just turned him into a 257 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 1: cartoon characters. Duc Dodgers. That was the Daffy Duck alter 258 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 1: ego Duck Dodgers in half surgery. I love you. That 259 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 1: is awesome. That's right. Daffy Duck was like my favorite 260 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 1: cartoon car. You just killed me with that. Duck Dodger 261 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 1: goes into the Steelers. You give Ben arrest and yeah, 262 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:34,760 Speaker 1: you rest as many guys as you can. Yeah, well 263 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 1: that would run counter to what most people would do. 264 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 1: But I think he's got to recognize my team is 265 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 1: dead in the water right now. We are taking on 266 00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 1: so much water. We just got to start bailing this week, 267 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,720 Speaker 1: and just whatever happens in the game happens. We got 268 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 1: a backup quarterback we're going against, so even with some 269 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 1: of our second line, third line guys, maybe we have 270 00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 1: a chance. You know, play Connor because he's he was 271 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:04,920 Speaker 1: on the COVID list. He missed a couple of games. Anyway, 272 00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 1: he's fresh, fresh back. You know, Pouncy play him. He 273 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 1: was on the COVID list. He already had his by right, right, 274 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 1: But man, you gotta sit some other people, like if 275 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 1: the castro's hanging, sit him. You know, any of these 276 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 1: receivers got dead legs. Everybody, anybody got dead legs. Rest them. 277 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 1: And buy this week because you're gonna you're gonna need 278 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 1: that game at the end for the division. You might 279 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 1: need that game at the end for the division. I mean, 280 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 1: here's the thing though, that the Steelers playin Mark could 281 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 1: go eleven and five. Two. Yeah, they're going to you. 282 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 1: You need twelve wins to win the AFC North. Right now, 283 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:44,160 Speaker 1: you need twelve. I think that's twelve is gonna get 284 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:48,640 Speaker 1: you probably the AFC North. Not eleven. Eleven's not getting 285 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 1: it for you. All right, So Buffalo, let's just say 286 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,160 Speaker 1: Buffalo wins two of their final two and they go 287 00:15:53,240 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 1: twelve and four and they get the three seed. That 288 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:05,920 Speaker 1: means they will probably play well, that's too hard to 289 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:09,520 Speaker 1: predict right now. Wow, here's the thing we should look at. Okay, 290 00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:11,720 Speaker 1: going on, you have no idea what this matchup. Bills 291 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 1: finished twelve and four and the division winner for the 292 00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 1: AFC North finishes twelve and four. You'd almost prefer it 293 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,280 Speaker 1: to be Pittsburgh because you have the head to head 294 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:25,160 Speaker 1: tiebreaker on oh Ytsburgh. So you get the higher seed, 295 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:28,840 Speaker 1: right in terms of comparing the division winners. And now 296 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 1: if you get Cleveland as the division winner in the 297 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,120 Speaker 1: AFC North, or you get Baltimore as the division winner 298 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:37,400 Speaker 1: in the AFC North. Now you're going to conference record, 299 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,880 Speaker 1: and you know, now things start to get a little hairy. 300 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 1: But the Bills have a healthy conference record. Yeah, we're 301 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:47,480 Speaker 1: seven and two right now. Now Cleveland is six and four, 302 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:52,320 Speaker 1: and let's see, Baltimore is five and five. So you'd 303 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:58,240 Speaker 1: probably get them on conference record anyway, because if the 304 00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:02,000 Speaker 1: Bills finished twelve and four, that means their conference record 305 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 1: is nine and three, and that's gonna be tough to 306 00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:09,119 Speaker 1: beat because the Steelers might be the only team that 307 00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 1: could beat that. But again, you beat them on head 308 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,120 Speaker 1: to head, which I believe, I don't have to check. 309 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,400 Speaker 1: I have to see. I think I'll have to check 310 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 1: the tier. If you get to the two seed, you'll 311 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:26,919 Speaker 1: end up playing probably, I don't know. There's no way 312 00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 1: of knowing who you're gonna play yet. The Ravens are 313 00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,160 Speaker 1: gonna be in which put which kicks the Dolphins out. 314 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:36,119 Speaker 1: You could kick the Dolphins out if you wanted to 315 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:40,879 Speaker 1: play hard in Week seventeen, because it looks to me 316 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:45,760 Speaker 1: like eleven wins is going to be the number. Brownie, 317 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:48,960 Speaker 1: eleven wins you think is the number for the AFC North, 318 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:55,200 Speaker 1: maybe the six or seven wildcard spot. Yeah, could be. Well, 319 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:56,760 Speaker 1: that's like we said, I think a ten win team 320 00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,000 Speaker 1: is gonna get left holding the back. Yeah. So if 321 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,640 Speaker 1: the Dolphins go ten wins, they're the ones out. Would 322 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,679 Speaker 1: you rather have them in? Give them nine? Give them 323 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:07,680 Speaker 1: the other win on week seventeen th play them the 324 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:15,720 Speaker 1: next week? I don't know. I don't know. They can't 325 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 1: They can't run the football, So that plays into the 326 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:20,719 Speaker 1: Bill's hands pretty well in terms of how their defense 327 00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:24,120 Speaker 1: is constructed. You want the Colts, however, can run the football, 328 00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:25,720 Speaker 1: you want them. I don't want to play the Colts. 329 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:27,480 Speaker 1: You want the Dolphins like that? Or you want the 330 00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:33,679 Speaker 1: Colts or the stinking Ravens. Yeah, I don't know. Probably 331 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 1: I probably take the Dolphins. Yeah, I probably would, even 332 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:39,639 Speaker 1: though I don't like playing a team three times in 333 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,800 Speaker 1: one year. That always especially if you beat them twice. Yeah, 334 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,359 Speaker 1: that always concerns me. You know what I mean, if 335 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 1: you beat them, familiarity, all of that stuff, I'd almost 336 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:53,160 Speaker 1: not to make. And let's not forget this. The last 337 00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:58,119 Speaker 1: time the Bills played the Dolphins, there was nose Avian 338 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:03,080 Speaker 1: Howard m Yeah, they Byron Jones was hurt in the 339 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:06,920 Speaker 1: game and left early. If I remember that right, they 340 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 1: were short in corner and that is not the case now. 341 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,159 Speaker 1: Byron Jones is healthy, Zavian Howard is healthy, and oh, 342 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:15,920 Speaker 1: by the way, Zaving Howard is an interception in five 343 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,679 Speaker 1: straight games. Yeah, you don't have a highlight reel one 344 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:22,919 Speaker 1: last week, so I don't know. I don't know that 345 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,240 Speaker 1: you play those games. And I wouldn't expect coach McDermott 346 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,120 Speaker 1: to be doing that either. I think he's just like, look, 347 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:30,160 Speaker 1: we're playing win games. If we get to the point 348 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:31,439 Speaker 1: at the end of the season where we have to 349 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:35,919 Speaker 1: discuss resting starters to benefit our team in the playoffs, 350 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,639 Speaker 1: we'll discuss that. But we're not laying down and losing 351 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,600 Speaker 1: a game to a playoff team, so we draw them. 352 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 1: Because you don't know what else is happening around the 353 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,240 Speaker 1: league anyway. This is very tightly packed and it has 354 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,320 Speaker 1: been for the last month. This is gonna I don't 355 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:49,919 Speaker 1: think it's changing anytime soon. Really. The lack of a 356 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:53,280 Speaker 1: bye week really throws an extra degree of difficulty onto 357 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:55,680 Speaker 1: the top of this, because there's gonna only one team 358 00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:57,800 Speaker 1: is probably gonna be the Chiefs, and by that time. 359 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:00,879 Speaker 1: It may be that neither the Steve nor the Bills 360 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:04,720 Speaker 1: could catch them for the one seed, and or it's 361 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,880 Speaker 1: not likely that they would anyway, unless you get an 362 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:11,560 Speaker 1: idea that the Chiefs are going to start resting people 363 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,960 Speaker 1: in week seventeen, which they won't have to do because 364 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 1: I'll have two weeks for the bye so you won't 365 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 1: be worried about your bye week, but you may be 366 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:31,480 Speaker 1: worried about the seeding. But I think he's to break 367 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,119 Speaker 1: a tie for the wild card teams. It's head to 368 00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:36,560 Speaker 1: head and then conference record as long as they're not 369 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:39,359 Speaker 1: in the same division. So I would have to believe 370 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:41,720 Speaker 1: that that same procedure would apply if you have two 371 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,439 Speaker 1: division winners with the same record head to head and 372 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,679 Speaker 1: then conference record. So if it's the Steelers, the Bills 373 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:49,480 Speaker 1: have them. You know that the Bills and Steelers finish 374 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 1: with the same record. Bills would be the higher seed 375 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 1: based on head to head, and they've got a pretty 376 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 1: healthy conference record too. So if it's the Browns or 377 00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 1: it's the Ravens that somehow finished with the same conference record, well, 378 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 1: the Ravens can only get to eleven wins at best. 379 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:07,679 Speaker 1: The Browns can still get to twelve wins, and the 380 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,440 Speaker 1: Steelers can as well. Obviously, the Browns the key thing 381 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 1: for the Browns, they're gonna go They're gonna win two 382 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,120 Speaker 1: of those games because they've got, like we've said, they've 383 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 1: got um. The Browns have got an easy road. They've 384 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,520 Speaker 1: got the Giants, the Jets, and then they end with 385 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:24,560 Speaker 1: the Steelers, that Steeler Brown game. Wouldn't it be nice 386 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:29,879 Speaker 1: if all the marbles came down to that one? Well, yeah, 387 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:34,679 Speaker 1: Steelers drop another game. Well, now it's on. It's on, 388 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 1: Like Donkey com path to the one seed for Kansas 389 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:42,480 Speaker 1: City is sitting there now. Because the Steelers are they're 390 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 1: they're a team and a lot of peril here. They're 391 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:48,200 Speaker 1: they're in trouble. Yeah, their offenses evaporated, right, and their 392 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:51,560 Speaker 1: defense is banged up, so it's it's not pretty. Even 393 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,800 Speaker 1: if it wasn't banged up. The Bills managed to keep 394 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 1: them on the feet on the field for so long. 395 00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,680 Speaker 1: Steelers just had nothing in the tank. In that fourth quarter, 396 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 1: the Bills ran seven to eleven the clock against the 397 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:02,920 Speaker 1: Steelers team that could not care less. Why, I'm gonna 398 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:06,800 Speaker 1: be very interested to see whether or not Mike Tomlin 399 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:12,640 Speaker 1: says my team's dead, Like, I got guys that are 400 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 1: hanging right now, and we're gonna sit fifteen guys this week, 401 00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:20,880 Speaker 1: you know whoever, Like we're gonna sit ten regular starters. 402 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,919 Speaker 1: I don't know if that's how i'd do it or 403 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,199 Speaker 1: have them up, but you know what I mean, Like, 404 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,480 Speaker 1: here's don't start them. Here's here's what I would do. 405 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 1: Knowing what I know about player mentality, I would send 406 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:40,480 Speaker 1: them home for the week. Everything's virtual. I'll see you 407 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:44,440 Speaker 1: on Friday, Thursday or Friday. Come in, we'll walk through 408 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,560 Speaker 1: some stuff, jog through some stuff. We'll play on Sunday 409 00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 1: like that, because then you know the guys will be 410 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 1: like oh, you know, they'll come out like yeah, it'll 411 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,600 Speaker 1: be fun for the end. Believe me from this. At 412 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:59,920 Speaker 1: this date of the season, the locker room is your wheelhouse. 413 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 1: Everybody feels the most comfortable in the locker room. Even 414 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:07,480 Speaker 1: when you're at home or what you're the locker room 415 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,760 Speaker 1: is where you feel the most comfort. That's where you 416 00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:14,120 Speaker 1: want to be because you know you're working, you're being productive, 417 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,120 Speaker 1: you're in there at the work, you're not missing anything. 418 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,600 Speaker 1: This incredibly good season is not going to go away. 419 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:21,440 Speaker 1: You're you know, you feel like you're at on the 420 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:23,560 Speaker 1: job even if you're in the locker room resting. But 421 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,399 Speaker 1: so if you send them home and they're there and 422 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,439 Speaker 1: they're getting all their work done mentally, they're in the meetings, 423 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,800 Speaker 1: they're engaged in doing all that stuff, when they get 424 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:36,159 Speaker 1: back in they'll be like rejuvenated because they'll be like 425 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,080 Speaker 1: so happy to be back in and they play that way. 426 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:39,919 Speaker 1: That's exactly what happened to the Tennessee Titans when they 427 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 1: play Buffalo in Week five after being out of the 428 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 1: building for thirteen days, two practices. It was like a 429 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:49,399 Speaker 1: really invigorating a game for them coming back. Exactly what 430 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:51,480 Speaker 1: the Steelers would do if I were them, Yeah, that's 431 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:53,679 Speaker 1: what I would do. Interesting to see what Tamlin decides 432 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:57,320 Speaker 1: to do their pact show for you today, we will 433 00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 1: get our weekly visit from one Kyle Brand from Good 434 00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:03,040 Speaker 1: Morning Football, who will join us in about thirty five minutes, 435 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:07,399 Speaker 1: and then coming up in about ten minutes time will 436 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:09,960 Speaker 1: be one Hall of Famer by the name of Jim Kelly. 437 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,320 Speaker 1: We're gonna be talking with Jim about one of his 438 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:18,080 Speaker 1: records falling to one Josh Allen this past Sunday, as 439 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 1: Josh passed him for most total touchdowns in a single 440 00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:25,359 Speaker 1: season with thirty five. Now, if memory serves, I believe 441 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 1: all of Jim's prior record thirty four touchdowns were of 442 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:32,800 Speaker 1: the passing variety in nineteen ninety one, and so there 443 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,600 Speaker 1: is still that record for Josh to try to eclipse. 444 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:40,320 Speaker 1: From a passing touchdown standpoint on the season, Josh right now, 445 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:43,280 Speaker 1: I believe, what does he have? Twenty eight passing touchdowns, 446 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:46,560 Speaker 1: So he's still got to throw six more touchdowns to 447 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:51,000 Speaker 1: tie Jim's passing touchdown record. But Jim had an interesting 448 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:54,960 Speaker 1: comment during the game Sunday night. His wife Jill sent 449 00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 1: it out, I think on Twitter or Instagram saying, Josh 450 00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:02,200 Speaker 1: is going to break all of my record. Yeah, but uh, 451 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:05,680 Speaker 1: I think if you're watching this quarterback play the way 452 00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:09,920 Speaker 1: he is, I think everybody's happy to see it, including Jim, 453 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 1: just knowing the kind of person Jim was, how much 454 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,400 Speaker 1: he roots for this team, so Jim, Yeah, Jim. In fact, 455 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,600 Speaker 1: I think Jim would love it because it happened to 456 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:20,719 Speaker 1: a guy who's now they're they're buddies now, I mean 457 00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,199 Speaker 1: they're well, so Jim's rooting for him hard, and that 458 00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:25,440 Speaker 1: we all know here in Buffalo. One of the things 459 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:30,320 Speaker 1: that's most endearing about our boy Jim is he's for it, 460 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:32,359 Speaker 1: you know, yeah, yeah, you know what I mean. He 461 00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 1: was about the team as a player, yeah, and that 462 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:38,000 Speaker 1: hasn't changed in retirement as a fan of the team. 463 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:40,960 Speaker 1: So he knows what's good for Josh is good for 464 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,720 Speaker 1: the Bills. So you know that. And all aboard that 465 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:45,439 Speaker 1: train we talk about every once in a while. I 466 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:47,680 Speaker 1: got that tech sloop with the five Presidents, I call 467 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 1: it with Jim and Bruce Smith and Thurman and Andre 468 00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:55,479 Speaker 1: and Will Wolford and Darryl Talley and Cornie Bennett and 469 00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:57,840 Speaker 1: Chris More and I it's more than five people, but 470 00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:00,240 Speaker 1: yeah it is, but there's only yeah, the five as 471 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,119 Speaker 1: the five president right. I don't know why it was. 472 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:03,680 Speaker 1: It was because there was I heard something like there's 473 00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,239 Speaker 1: five living presidents that are you know, okay, right, So 474 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:11,560 Speaker 1: I thought that's the guys, And it's amazing, you know 475 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:17,000 Speaker 1: how it's amazing how deep their fanship of the team goes. 476 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,959 Speaker 1: Even now they're like the other night on that they're 477 00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:25,800 Speaker 1: they're heavy on the on the game, right, So I 478 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:30,520 Speaker 1: know this too, the all those guys stereotypically old guys, 479 00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:32,159 Speaker 1: old old the old guys on the team, like the 480 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:35,000 Speaker 1: old Washington Redskins, the old Chicago Bears, the old whatever whatever, 481 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,720 Speaker 1: whatever whatever. They're all like adding these guys are not 482 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:41,160 Speaker 1: like that. They are You're still you're talking about those 483 00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:44,080 Speaker 1: get those other teams. Older players are like back in 484 00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:47,879 Speaker 1: my day, were at right stuff. These guys could not 485 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 1: be more supportive of this crew. They want they want, 486 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:53,840 Speaker 1: and I think most of it is because of the 487 00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:56,159 Speaker 1: way the fans treat them. They love they want it 488 00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:58,359 Speaker 1: for Buffalo, like guy like me. I mean, I'd love 489 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:00,760 Speaker 1: it for the Buffalo fans on it for all these 490 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:04,440 Speaker 1: people that were there sitting in the same seats when 491 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:07,000 Speaker 1: I was played right right, you know. And there's a 492 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 1: healthy number of those kinds. So I think that makes 493 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,240 Speaker 1: it unique as well. And I've said it before too. 494 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:14,240 Speaker 1: The Bills fans when you go out and about, more 495 00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:17,359 Speaker 1: so than any of the fan I've noticed, they are 496 00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:20,560 Speaker 1: a fraternity. They're very affectionate towards one another when they're 497 00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:22,360 Speaker 1: out and away from Buffalo, you know, like when you're 498 00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:25,600 Speaker 1: walking through the airport in LA and you give the hey, hey, 499 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,440 Speaker 1: and somebody answers or even just go Bills so right, 500 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,760 Speaker 1: and I think that permeates the five presents all the 501 00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:35,760 Speaker 1: old guys too, you know.

Jim, 531 00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:21,160 Speaker 1: how you do? How's hunting season treating you? First of all, Jim, 532 00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:25,240 Speaker 1: I can't complain, not as many as I would like. 533 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:27,640 Speaker 1: I haven't been out as much. I mean I have 534 00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:31,560 Speaker 1: done a few. I got one nice buck, but other 535 00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:33,960 Speaker 1: than that, just really haven't been out like I have 536 00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:36,440 Speaker 1: in the past. Of course, you know what, COVID, we 537 00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:39,680 Speaker 1: didn't have our big deer camp that we usually have 538 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:43,560 Speaker 1: with you know, chef Jeff show Yergy from All Bears 539 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:45,760 Speaker 1: coming in. He cooked for like seventy five guys, but 540 00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:49,280 Speaker 1: as you all know, Dad had to be way limited 541 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:51,920 Speaker 1: to the amount of people, but uh, you know, didn't 542 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,080 Speaker 1: the outdoors I love it, so you know it is 543 00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:57,000 Speaker 1: what it is and just have to wait for next year. Yeah, 544 00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:58,840 Speaker 1: we've got to ask you, Jim. We've been talking about 545 00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:01,280 Speaker 1: Josh and what he's been doing this year. I know 546 00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:04,280 Speaker 1: Jill put out that tweet and quoted you as saying, 547 00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:06,880 Speaker 1: Josh is gonna get all your records. What do you 548 00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:09,880 Speaker 1: think about Josh's growth? Obviously he's grown leaps and bounds. 549 00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,320 Speaker 1: Do you think he's just begun? We got a Twitter 550 00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:15,320 Speaker 1: pull out today. Do you think Josh has kind of 551 00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:17,719 Speaker 1: reached his full potential or is or is he just 552 00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:20,000 Speaker 1: reached the tip of the iceberg? Or do we even 553 00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:23,440 Speaker 1: really need him to develop anymore? Oh well no, as 554 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:27,560 Speaker 1: you will know, if you are accepting that you are 555 00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:29,880 Speaker 1: at the top, and then you know you're gonna start 556 00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:33,640 Speaker 1: going down. So with Josh, I think he's playing great football. Yeah, 557 00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,480 Speaker 1: there's always room from proving in everybody's game, whether it 558 00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:40,040 Speaker 1: was Josh or Morrish at center, whether it's Jerry Us 559 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:43,520 Speaker 1: on defense, whatever case may be. As well, know, Steve, 560 00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:45,640 Speaker 1: you got to continue to learn he's in his third year, 561 00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:48,200 Speaker 1: I think he's going awesome. And a bottom line, if 562 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:51,160 Speaker 1: he does not break my records and then sting draw 563 00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:55,000 Speaker 1: especially in today's game, how much a pass and not 564 00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:57,200 Speaker 1: allow of touch the receivers, not all put a hand 565 00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:00,840 Speaker 1: on a quarterback, all those things, if you think about 566 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:04,160 Speaker 1: all of them, and you know what, I'd be surprised 567 00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:08,360 Speaker 1: if Josh doesn't break all my records. If then after 568 00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:12,040 Speaker 1: he continues to grow, he'll start breaking his own records. 569 00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:15,320 Speaker 1: So yeah, if it also that means we're winning and 570 00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:19,040 Speaker 1: we're doing well. And Jim I kind of I chuckles 571 00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:21,400 Speaker 1: and myself at this one because I think back and 572 00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:25,200 Speaker 1: you know, if you if how many times you got 573 00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:27,200 Speaker 1: hit below the knees and how many times you got 574 00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:29,600 Speaker 1: hit in the head, that'd be a free, free set 575 00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:32,040 Speaker 1: of downs for you. If you were playing now, how 576 00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:34,640 Speaker 1: many extra series would you have had over the course 577 00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:37,280 Speaker 1: of your career with the rules that they have now? Right, 578 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,280 Speaker 1: You wouldn't believe how many times John asked at how 579 00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:42,080 Speaker 1: many more years you think you would have played if 580 00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:45,400 Speaker 1: they had the rules for the quarterbacks now, and I said, well, 581 00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:48,640 Speaker 1: I definitely would not have played at the age of 582 00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:51,960 Speaker 1: what Tom Brady's doing now, but I definitely would have 583 00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:54,560 Speaker 1: played a few more years. Do you know what, Back then, 584 00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:57,720 Speaker 1: they didn't realize how important it was to take care 585 00:31:57,720 --> 00:31:59,920 Speaker 1: of the people on the offense. And I know deep 586 00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,040 Speaker 1: censor players and I get it. There's some calls that 587 00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:06,080 Speaker 1: they have on you know, players that you know the 588 00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:09,240 Speaker 1: quarterback and it's like, are you kidding me? That was 589 00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:11,600 Speaker 1: a horrible call. And now I've seen something this past 590 00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:15,160 Speaker 1: weekend that there are some really bad, bad calls, But 591 00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:18,000 Speaker 1: you know what, they're protecting the quarterback. Now. I don't 592 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,480 Speaker 1: think you did any complaints for a lot of fans, 593 00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:23,520 Speaker 1: because number one, who wants to watch the backup or 594 00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:25,720 Speaker 1: the third string quarterback and there are not many people. 595 00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:27,960 Speaker 1: They want to see their stars like a Josh Allen. 596 00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,440 Speaker 1: They want to continue to see him on the field 597 00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:33,800 Speaker 1: marks his magic. So it is what it is and 598 00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:36,520 Speaker 1: I love it. And I'm sure a lot of people, 599 00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:40,680 Speaker 1: special defensive players will complain about that, but uh yeah, 600 00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:43,080 Speaker 1: it helps you offensers, no doubt. One of the things 601 00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:46,320 Speaker 1: that this season reminds me of, Jim is nineteen eighty eight. 602 00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:49,480 Speaker 1: It was the season your was your third season in 603 00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:51,720 Speaker 1: the league, and that was the year it kind of 604 00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:53,840 Speaker 1: came together where the team went twelve and four. They 605 00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:57,520 Speaker 1: hadn't been to the playoffs yet, and they we kind 606 00:32:57,520 --> 00:32:59,840 Speaker 1: of busted out and had a big season at twelve 607 00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:03,080 Speaker 1: and four, went to the championship game. And to me, 608 00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:05,560 Speaker 1: this season feels a little bit like that. Although they've 609 00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:08,640 Speaker 1: been in the playoffs two out of the last three years, 610 00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:12,400 Speaker 1: this team all of a sudden looks like it's ready 611 00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:16,560 Speaker 1: to take an enormous, steep, enormous step forward. What do 612 00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:18,960 Speaker 1: you see about how deep this team could go, because 613 00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,320 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, this is a much different team 614 00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:24,600 Speaker 1: than it was just you know a year ago, where 615 00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:26,800 Speaker 1: the defense carried it in the office did just enough. 616 00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:32,440 Speaker 1: This looks like a real high powered contender, heavyweight team. Yeah, 617 00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:34,800 Speaker 1: I agree to a certain point. I think that one 618 00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:37,920 Speaker 1: of them things, as you well know, steve that further 619 00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:39,880 Speaker 1: you get deeper in the playoffs, you you've got to 620 00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:42,640 Speaker 1: have that running game going, and I just hope that 621 00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:46,200 Speaker 1: they will do that. Their first half almost fell asleep, 622 00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:51,160 Speaker 1: I think like most people. But you know what exactly 623 00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:55,000 Speaker 1: we talked about room for improvement on all phases. But yeah, 624 00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:59,720 Speaker 1: definitely is a lot similar to what we went through 625 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,360 Speaker 1: and you know third season as I was there, you know, 626 00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:04,240 Speaker 1: and then we all of a sudden with you know, 627 00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:06,560 Speaker 1: with Thurman Thomas and a couple of you know, Andre 628 00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:10,040 Speaker 1: Reid coming into his own and uh, I think that 629 00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:13,120 Speaker 1: we're on the verge of seeing something special. I just 630 00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:15,160 Speaker 1: hope they continue to work and get better, to get 631 00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:17,359 Speaker 1: that running game going, take some of the pressure off 632 00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:20,919 Speaker 1: of Josh. And uh, what a what a pick gig 633 00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:24,759 Speaker 1: picked up Gigs was And that probably exactly you know, 634 00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:26,759 Speaker 1: you talk about all those things, and then you looked 635 00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:29,200 Speaker 1: at James lofton how important he was when he came 636 00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:32,000 Speaker 1: into our system. We already had Babe and already had 637 00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:35,880 Speaker 1: um Andre and now yet James Loftonson mixed so and 638 00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:40,000 Speaker 1: special teams. I mean that in itself, even though we've 639 00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,719 Speaker 1: missed an extra pointment special teams. I think that's a 640 00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:45,280 Speaker 1: big part of you know, when coach leave, you always 641 00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:48,840 Speaker 1: used to talk about there's three parts of this team. Offense, defensive, 642 00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:51,560 Speaker 1: special teams. And I know that's an old cliche, but 643 00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:55,439 Speaker 1: when you have a good special teams, that helps so much, 644 00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:58,680 Speaker 1: not only with field position, but maybe didn't turn over 645 00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:02,840 Speaker 1: for pinning the the offense, the posing team's offense deep 646 00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:05,759 Speaker 1: back in their own territories. So, um, I like what 647 00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:07,719 Speaker 1: we see. I just hope we continue to get better 648 00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:10,640 Speaker 1: and hopefully we'll peach at the right time. Jim I 649 00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,879 Speaker 1: was asked this by a fan on social media. They 650 00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:17,359 Speaker 1: were intrigued by you know what this receiving Corps has 651 00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:22,520 Speaker 1: done for this offense this year collectively, and they're like, oh, well, 652 00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:25,240 Speaker 1: how does it compare to you know, the nineteen nineties 653 00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:27,120 Speaker 1: Receiving Corps. And I'm like, well, hold on a second, 654 00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:28,960 Speaker 1: we're talking. We're talking about a couple of Hall of 655 00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:32,480 Speaker 1: famers there in Lofton and Read and then Boebe was 656 00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:36,000 Speaker 1: no slouch either. So, um, how do you look at 657 00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:39,640 Speaker 1: this year's group and do you think, in terms of 658 00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:43,000 Speaker 1: how they helped Josh, it's comparable to the way your 659 00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:47,360 Speaker 1: guys helped you. Oh, there's no doubt. I think there's 660 00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:50,880 Speaker 1: not enough said about Ken Dorsey, the quarterback coach. Um, 661 00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:54,320 Speaker 1: I think she's doing a heck of a job with Josh. 662 00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:57,040 Speaker 1: I think the receivers, there's no doubt they help. When 663 00:35:57,080 --> 00:36:00,560 Speaker 1: you can run good, good route. As Steve all knew that, 664 00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:04,320 Speaker 1: I was adamant about running good rocks, keeping the flat 665 00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:06,880 Speaker 1: breaking out, coming back to the football, all those things 666 00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:10,640 Speaker 1: that I emphasized when we were practice. These guys are 667 00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:13,279 Speaker 1: doing that. They have a good feel which John Brown 668 00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:15,800 Speaker 1: was still there that you'd be able to help out also. 669 00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:18,760 Speaker 1: But the guys that need to step up, the backups 670 00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:21,759 Speaker 1: are doing their job, and I think that you know, 671 00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:24,719 Speaker 1: they continue to work on different things, and I think 672 00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,880 Speaker 1: day Boy was going to unbelievable job, can plays. They 673 00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:31,280 Speaker 1: never know what they're going to do. Josh with this cadence, 674 00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:34,239 Speaker 1: as we all well know, is very important that that 675 00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:38,719 Speaker 1: defensive end doesn't get that chump on us. So all Rod, 676 00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:41,759 Speaker 1: they're doing a lot better. Yes, continued to improve, but 677 00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:44,920 Speaker 1: I like what I see. One of the things I 678 00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:47,160 Speaker 1: wanted to ask you about is one of the things 679 00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:49,080 Speaker 1: that helped the Bills this year was the fact that 680 00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:51,200 Speaker 1: they were going four wide early in the season. They 681 00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:53,960 Speaker 1: went ten personnel, more than any team in the league. 682 00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:56,799 Speaker 1: And the reason they could do that was because of 683 00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:59,480 Speaker 1: their to their shock and surprise and Pleasant Shock and 684 00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:03,200 Speaker 1: Pleasant Prize. Gabriel Davis came in as a rookie and 685 00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:06,600 Speaker 1: learned all four spots on the wide receiver chart and 686 00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:08,960 Speaker 1: played so well at all of them that they decided 687 00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:12,000 Speaker 1: they wanted to put him on the field. I don't 688 00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:15,560 Speaker 1: know that we ever had a rookie during your time 689 00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:18,680 Speaker 1: come in as a wide receiver and just bully his 690 00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:20,920 Speaker 1: way onto the field because of his good play and 691 00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:23,600 Speaker 1: his great practice habits and the trust that he earned 692 00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:26,600 Speaker 1: not only from a quarterback but also from the coaching staff. 693 00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:29,960 Speaker 1: What about Gabe Davis, I think it's great. I mean 694 00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:32,800 Speaker 1: when I saw him his first couple of games, I'm like, wow, 695 00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:37,360 Speaker 1: he's special. This kid can play. So yeah, that definitely, 696 00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:40,239 Speaker 1: and as you know, being a quarterback, when you see that, 697 00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:42,960 Speaker 1: you know that if anybody needs arrest, and you know 698 00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:45,840 Speaker 1: how that went, Steve, When you know we ring a 699 00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:48,279 Speaker 1: couple of routes, Andre would put his hands out like 700 00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:50,400 Speaker 1: Thurman used to do, and I need a little break. 701 00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:54,120 Speaker 1: You didn't break. I mean it was like you're going 702 00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:56,520 Speaker 1: the same pace as the word before. You know, when 703 00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:59,759 Speaker 1: Kenny Davis came in at running back, I think that. 704 00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:02,640 Speaker 1: You know, you look at Davis and what he's done 705 00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:06,400 Speaker 1: in our pick return and punt return. What's his name again, 706 00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:11,480 Speaker 1: Andre Roberts. Yeah, he's amazing. I love watching him because 707 00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:15,359 Speaker 1: every time he touches the football. I think he might 708 00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:18,960 Speaker 1: be scored, so that is huge, especially as a quarterback. 709 00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:21,560 Speaker 1: You want that good field position. But overall, I'd like 710 00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:24,640 Speaker 1: the receiving corps that we have and who knows who's 711 00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:28,279 Speaker 1: gonna step up. A dig is definitely the shining point. Jim, 712 00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:32,040 Speaker 1: you mentioned Ken Dorsey here, and I know you and 713 00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:35,240 Speaker 1: him obviously are fellow in Miami, alum, so you're probably 714 00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:37,680 Speaker 1: a little bit biased. And you know you've sat down, 715 00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:40,560 Speaker 1: you've talked with him before. You know, people are already 716 00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:43,320 Speaker 1: worried that with the success of this offense, that Brian 717 00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:46,040 Speaker 1: Dable may get a head coaching job somewhere else. What 718 00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:50,239 Speaker 1: do you think of the validity of the candidacy for 719 00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:54,480 Speaker 1: Ken Dorsey to possibly succeed Brian Dabele in the coordinator's post. 720 00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:57,399 Speaker 1: You know, should Brian leave for a head coaching job 721 00:38:57,480 --> 00:39:00,640 Speaker 1: somewhere else, quit talking about that. We're wanting these guys 722 00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:03,160 Speaker 1: here for a couple more years. I texted him a 723 00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:05,319 Speaker 1: while ago, a couple of years ago, and I said, 724 00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:07,120 Speaker 1: don't even think about that coach of job. We still 725 00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:10,640 Speaker 1: have a couple more years to you utilize your talent 726 00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:13,000 Speaker 1: as well as Josh, and so don't even think about 727 00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:16,440 Speaker 1: that so well. You know, Ted is very, very intelligent. 728 00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:20,840 Speaker 1: He knows the offense inside out. I've sat in meetings 729 00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:23,160 Speaker 1: with him, you know, this past year, last year, but 730 00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:25,760 Speaker 1: you know, I guess I should say before the season 731 00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:29,000 Speaker 1: and just the things he says we talk about. I mean, 732 00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:32,640 Speaker 1: it wasn't a lot meetings, but when I did, I 733 00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:34,520 Speaker 1: can I just know the guy. I don't know. I 734 00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:37,279 Speaker 1: didn't know him real well until this past the last 735 00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:40,160 Speaker 1: couple of years. But he's a guy. There's no doubt. 736 00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:43,320 Speaker 1: I have all the confidence world. But I hope Brian 737 00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:46,719 Speaker 1: doesn't leave for a couple more years. I know you 738 00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:49,919 Speaker 1: saw the Bill's game against the Steelers this last Sunday night, 739 00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:53,560 Speaker 1: and I know you are well acquainted with Ben Roethlisberger. 740 00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:56,640 Speaker 1: What do you think about his career and how close 741 00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:59,040 Speaker 1: to the end of it he might be. I think 742 00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:02,040 Speaker 1: it's coming there, whether it's this year or next year. 743 00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:03,800 Speaker 1: I mean, he still can play, but he's not to 744 00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:07,600 Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger that you know can get outside and you know, 745 00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:11,240 Speaker 1: run fifteen twenty yards like Josh. It's almost like Josh 746 00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:14,160 Speaker 1: is the young Ben Roethlisberger dead. He can do the 747 00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:17,759 Speaker 1: running part. He can you know, be able to if 748 00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:20,800 Speaker 1: you need to run somebody over or play smart and 749 00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:26,040 Speaker 1: do the sliding. That was Ben Roethlisberger in yesterday is 750 00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:29,319 Speaker 1: Josh Allen today. I hope he's able to do what 751 00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:33,040 Speaker 1: Ben did take us to a Super Bowl win. But uh, Ben, 752 00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:35,719 Speaker 1: I think he's definitely. Within the next year or two, 753 00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:38,640 Speaker 1: he's probably gonna start whining the din because you don't 754 00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:40,400 Speaker 1: want to get hurt to a point where you know 755 00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:42,360 Speaker 1: you're not gonna be able to joy your your kids. 756 00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:45,160 Speaker 1: And I know Ben has a few kids, and I am. 757 00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:48,680 Speaker 1: I've spent time with him. You've come to my lodge 758 00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:52,200 Speaker 1: many times and with snowmobile together. Just a good, good kid, 759 00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:56,280 Speaker 1: great guy, and uh who knows that. That's why I 760 00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:58,319 Speaker 1: did my little post. I love you to death, Ben, 761 00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:02,080 Speaker 1: but you know what, Let's go Buffalo. Last one I 762 00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:06,880 Speaker 1: got for you. Jim is um the AFC landscape, the 763 00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:09,239 Speaker 1: Chiefs are the chiefs. We know that we saw what 764 00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:11,960 Speaker 1: the Bills did with the Steelers this past week. Is 765 00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:16,439 Speaker 1: there a team in the AFC that you're looking at saying, Man, 766 00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:18,360 Speaker 1: those guys would be a bear to play against in 767 00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:19,879 Speaker 1: the playoffs. I don't know if I want to draw 768 00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:23,359 Speaker 1: that team in round one of the postseason, anybody kind 769 00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:25,560 Speaker 1: of catch your eye and give you a little cause 770 00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:29,359 Speaker 1: for concern. Well, Kansas City, as you as you just said, 771 00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:32,000 Speaker 1: Tennessee is a good you know what Miami's coming on. 772 00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:34,880 Speaker 1: I know we played them the last game of the 773 00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:37,239 Speaker 1: last game of the season. The thing is, I don't 774 00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:39,000 Speaker 1: want to have to have it come down to the 775 00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:42,040 Speaker 1: last game. I'd like to clinch a FCS sooner than 776 00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:44,800 Speaker 1: later and not have to worry about that. But there's 777 00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:49,080 Speaker 1: you know, as everybody knows Kansas City to you know, 778 00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:52,400 Speaker 1: everybody looks at if atay help you with that receiving 779 00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:55,440 Speaker 1: quarter and that defense they have. Defense are not great, 780 00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:59,439 Speaker 1: but that offense is just unbelievable. They're gonna be tough 781 00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:01,360 Speaker 1: to beat. But I would like to be able to 782 00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:03,600 Speaker 1: get in a situation where we get down to the end, 783 00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:07,000 Speaker 1: maybe can't City gets upset and we'd be able to, um, 784 00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:10,400 Speaker 1: you know, have a game or the rest of the 785 00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:13,680 Speaker 1: games in Buffalo. And last thing, I just say, come on, 786 00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:18,799 Speaker 1: come homo, man, give us some people in the stadium. 787 00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:21,080 Speaker 1: I mean, you see other teams getting you know, ten 788 00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:24,600 Speaker 1: thousand like that. I know that there's old cliche. We're 789 00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:28,040 Speaker 1: protecting everybody. I get that, But the thing is everybody 790 00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:32,160 Speaker 1: would go to game, get shipped together people. That's always anyways, 791 00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:38,120 Speaker 1: give us some fans, come on, man, last one for me, Jim. 792 00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:41,520 Speaker 1: You heard obviously this last week that Kim and Terry 793 00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:44,839 Speaker 1: extended the contract of Brandon Bean. That puts the head 794 00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:47,759 Speaker 1: coach and the general manager under contract till twenty twenty five. 795 00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:51,640 Speaker 1: I know we were back in the day Bill Polian 796 00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:57,160 Speaker 1: left the team after the second Super Bowl with two 797 00:42:57,160 --> 00:42:59,919 Speaker 1: more Super Bowls to go. How important do you think 798 00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:01,720 Speaker 1: it is and what are your thoughts on the Brandon 799 00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:05,279 Speaker 1: Bean extension going along with Sean McDermott. I love it. 800 00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:07,880 Speaker 1: I was waiting for that. I think a lot of 801 00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:10,920 Speaker 1: people were Brandon not own. He's a class act and 802 00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:13,680 Speaker 1: a great guy. He's smart, he knows what he's doing. 803 00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:16,960 Speaker 1: He talks to the right people. It's right information. And 804 00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:19,960 Speaker 1: when you team that up with coach McDermott, you got 805 00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:22,600 Speaker 1: a winning situation right there. As long as we stay 806 00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:25,000 Speaker 1: healthy and he continues to do what he does bringing 807 00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:28,000 Speaker 1: in guys and do make a difference, I think would 808 00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:30,560 Speaker 1: you might hopefully be seeing what we saw, you know, 809 00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:32,080 Speaker 1: back in the nineties and I hate to keep on 810 00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:35,200 Speaker 1: bringing it up because I know some probably players. Okay, 811 00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:38,120 Speaker 1: enough about that, and I'm sure the Bedolos are saying 812 00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:42,000 Speaker 1: that too. Okay, guys, we're talking about this year, this Branchid, 813 00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:44,799 Speaker 1: not going back in the nineties. But the thing is, 814 00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:47,240 Speaker 1: I love what I see now. I love what Brandon 815 00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:51,800 Speaker 1: Bean has done. I know that they perspect Sean very much, 816 00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:55,239 Speaker 1: and that's a good starting point, and I'm glad to 817 00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:57,879 Speaker 1: see that Brandon has earned.

That's Jim Kelly 829 00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:31,959 Speaker 1: Bill's Hall of Famer we have to take a break, 830 00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:33,839 Speaker 1: but when we come back, we'll take a peek at 831 00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:36,440 Speaker 1: the tweet chat and don't forget. In about fifteen minutes, 832 00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:38,920 Speaker 1: we'll be talking with one Kyle Brand from Good Morning 833 00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:41,200 Speaker 1: Football as he makes his weekly appearance here on One 834 00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:43,960 Speaker 1: Bill's Live, presented by Kalid to Health. This is Buffalo 835 00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:58,480 Speaker 1: Bill's Radio. Welcome back to One Bills Live. Chris Brown, 836 00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:01,400 Speaker 1: Steve Tasker with you and Steve. We didn't mention this 837 00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:06,160 Speaker 1: at the top. There was some Bill's injury news yesterday. 838 00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:08,880 Speaker 1: When coach McDermott addressed the media, he was asked about 839 00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:12,040 Speaker 1: John Brown's availability, knowing that he has now missed the 840 00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:15,600 Speaker 1: minimum of three games necessary while on injured reserve, so 841 00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:19,160 Speaker 1: he would be eligible to come off of injured reserve 842 00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:22,400 Speaker 1: this week if they chose to do so and activate 843 00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:25,560 Speaker 1: him for the game against the Broncos on Saturday. Now, 844 00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:30,920 Speaker 1: coach McDermott did say yesterday that John Brown will begin 845 00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:35,000 Speaker 1: practicing this week and they will see how it goes. 846 00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:42,000 Speaker 1: So certainly no confirmation that he's gonna come off of 847 00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:46,120 Speaker 1: IR and dress up and play on Saturday, but certainly 848 00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:49,760 Speaker 1: an encouraging sign that he is back to the practice setting, 849 00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:52,920 Speaker 1: and so I think I think they will take this 850 00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:55,480 Speaker 1: day by day. He's coming off the ankle injury. As 851 00:45:55,480 --> 00:45:58,040 Speaker 1: we know, he was dealing with a knee problem prior 852 00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:00,200 Speaker 1: to that injury that he suffered in the Arizona game 853 00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:02,719 Speaker 1: that forced him from the game early. And you could 854 00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:04,600 Speaker 1: tell when he was playing with the knee injury he 855 00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:06,759 Speaker 1: was not himself talk. You could tell it. He was 856 00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:08,839 Speaker 1: a guy that could use a month off, you know. Yeah, 857 00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:11,000 Speaker 1: And they gave it to him and have gone three 858 00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:14,640 Speaker 1: and oz in his absence, which has which when it happened, 859 00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:15,839 Speaker 1: I didn't know if they were going to be able 860 00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:19,239 Speaker 1: to do right. So good on them for picking up 861 00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:22,279 Speaker 1: the slack. Gabe Davis a big part of that. But man, 862 00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:25,520 Speaker 1: you add John brownpack to the mix, Steve, whether it's 863 00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:27,560 Speaker 1: this week or next week, I would tend to think 864 00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:30,000 Speaker 1: we're probably only a week or two away from seeing 865 00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:32,759 Speaker 1: John Brown on the field again, and let him get 866 00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:36,200 Speaker 1: two regular season games to get tuned up for the playoffs. 867 00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:39,200 Speaker 1: When was it, hello, right, when was it that we 868 00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:42,280 Speaker 1: started this? I think it was a five games before 869 00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:45,000 Speaker 1: the Steelers game. It was Seahawks card. We're talking about 870 00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:47,239 Speaker 1: the Gauntlets portion of the schedule, the schedule of the 871 00:46:47,239 --> 00:46:49,280 Speaker 1: one that we just went four and one in. Yeah, 872 00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:54,160 Speaker 1: not bad. That work. And and and you're not gonna 873 00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:56,520 Speaker 1: have John Brown for the last three of those five games. 874 00:46:57,120 --> 00:47:01,200 Speaker 1: What would you have thought going into that two and three? Yeah, 875 00:47:01,239 --> 00:47:03,520 Speaker 1: that's what I was picking them. So good on them 876 00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:07,560 Speaker 1: for making good on that because I did not I 877 00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:09,279 Speaker 1: did not have it in the cards for them to 878 00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:11,760 Speaker 1: do us as well as they have done to this point. 879 00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:16,520 Speaker 1: And that hail Murray away from seven and a seven 880 00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:20,239 Speaker 1: game winning streak, right, Yeah, because they've won six of 881 00:47:20,239 --> 00:47:23,320 Speaker 1: their last seven yea thus through a stretch of the 882 00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:28,640 Speaker 1: season that included the Patriots, Seahawks, Cardinals, Chargers, Niner, Steelers. Yeah, 883 00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:30,520 Speaker 1: that's pretty good. That's a pretty good run. But I'm 884 00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:34,480 Speaker 1: telling you, you get John Brown back in the mix, now, 885 00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:36,319 Speaker 1: you're going four wide like you were in the first 886 00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:40,000 Speaker 1: month of this season, provided everybody else is healthy. Yeah, 887 00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:42,200 Speaker 1: I mean, with what Davis has done the last three weeks, 888 00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:44,759 Speaker 1: how do you keep him off the field. And and 889 00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:46,880 Speaker 1: the fact and that's the thing, the fact that Bills 890 00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:48,839 Speaker 1: the Bills are healthy and get John Brown in there, 891 00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:51,960 Speaker 1: it gives that would be one hundred percent healthy. One percent. 892 00:47:52,239 --> 00:47:54,440 Speaker 1: Cody Ford would be the only guy of note that 893 00:47:54,560 --> 00:47:59,080 Speaker 1: you can remember losing. So you're gonna be playing against 894 00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:01,879 Speaker 1: teams who have like the Denver bron because they lost 895 00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:05,960 Speaker 1: two backup corners this week. They've lost five corners in 896 00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:09,200 Speaker 1: the last two weeks, they say, And they got to 897 00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:13,040 Speaker 1: play against a team that healthy. Yeah, a team that's 898 00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:17,560 Speaker 1: nine nine and three, ten and three, ten and three, 899 00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:21,600 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, ten and three healthy and making a playoff run. 900 00:48:21,640 --> 00:48:23,840 Speaker 1: You gotta line up against those guys going four wide 901 00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:28,479 Speaker 1: with yeah. And when they were healthy this the team 902 00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:30,560 Speaker 1: went four wide all the time because it was their 903 00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:32,560 Speaker 1: best offense, and you got to line up against it. 904 00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:35,319 Speaker 1: That's that's a big that's a tall order. Be really 905 00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:37,640 Speaker 1: interesting to see what John Brown Cannon cannot do on 906 00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:39,640 Speaker 1: the practice field. But if he comes on the practice 907 00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:43,160 Speaker 1: field tomorrow, and we will get an injury report estimation 908 00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:46,160 Speaker 1: today because the game is a day early on Saturday, 909 00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:50,040 Speaker 1: today is essentially the Wednesday injury report. And because they're 910 00:48:50,080 --> 00:48:52,719 Speaker 1: only doing a walkthrough, the team is required to give 911 00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:56,760 Speaker 1: an estimation as to what their full participation rate would 912 00:48:56,760 --> 00:48:59,759 Speaker 1: be if it was a regular practice. So they have 913 00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:03,640 Speaker 1: to get an estimated participation level today so if we 914 00:49:03,719 --> 00:49:05,959 Speaker 1: get an estimated participant, well, we won't get it because 915 00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:07,880 Speaker 1: John Brown is on IR. He does not have to 916 00:49:07,920 --> 00:49:10,160 Speaker 1: be listed on the injury report. Dang it. I was 917 00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:12,759 Speaker 1: hoping we would get some clarity on just how much 918 00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:15,200 Speaker 1: John Brown is capable of doing. But now I'm thinking 919 00:49:15,200 --> 00:49:17,080 Speaker 1: to myself, he's on IR. They do not have to 920 00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:19,359 Speaker 1: list him in any way, shape or four. So he'll 921 00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:21,960 Speaker 1: be a mystery man basically for the rest of the week. 922 00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:26,160 Speaker 1: They have to activate him Friday four pm, by the latest, 923 00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:29,080 Speaker 1: because the game's Saturday. Yeah, twenty four hours before the 924 00:49:29,120 --> 00:49:32,719 Speaker 1: game Friday four pm, we'll know for sure whether he's 925 00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:36,120 Speaker 1: even a consideration for Saturday's game. You you won't hear 926 00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:40,680 Speaker 1: boot about that until three fifty nine. Yeah, Well, the 927 00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:43,160 Speaker 1: most we heard on him was yesterday and that's probably 928 00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:45,640 Speaker 1: all we're gonna hear on him until Friday. And that's 929 00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:48,520 Speaker 1: where it's like being in the concussion protocol. Yeah, you're 930 00:49:48,520 --> 00:49:51,200 Speaker 1: in the concussion protocol. Can't say anything else. All right, 931 00:49:51,200 --> 00:49:54,000 Speaker 1: break time for us. When we return, it's Kyle Brandt 932 00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:57,360 Speaker 1: making his weekly visit here on One Bills Live.

I'll have to keep an eye 941 00:50:33,200 --> 00:50:35,760 Speaker 1: to see if he's added to the active roster later 942 00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:39,200 Speaker 1: in the week. The Brontos secondary taking hit after hit. 943 00:50:39,320 --> 00:50:43,040 Speaker 1: Cornerbacks Kevin Tolliver and Duke Dawson suffered season ending injuries, 944 00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:45,560 Speaker 1: and Sundays went over the Panthers they will miss the 945 00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:48,560 Speaker 1: remainder of the season. Denver is already down as saying 946 00:50:48,680 --> 00:50:52,240 Speaker 1: Bassie A. J. Booya and Bryce Callahan at the cornerback position. 947 00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:56,360 Speaker 1: In response, they signed cornerback Parnell Motley off the forty 948 00:50:56,440 --> 00:50:59,319 Speaker 1: nine ers practice squad.

Did not see that happen, as 952 00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:09,719 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, who left the game with cramps, returned to 953 00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:13,080 Speaker 1: lead Baltimore to a wild forty seven forty two win 954 00:51:13,239 --> 00:51:16,680 Speaker 1: over Cleveland.

But before we do that, we want 968 00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:07,319 Speaker 1: to play a little bit of a clip as to 969 00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:11,080 Speaker 1: just how excited one Kyle Brand was after the Bills 970 00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:17,840 Speaker 1: Sunday night victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Buffalo, beautiful bastard. 971 00:52:18,840 --> 00:52:21,919 Speaker 1: I'm so happy for Buffalo.

I'm happy for every wild time to be 974 00:52:27,560 --> 00:52:29,920 Speaker 1: a Bills fan. This felt like Christmas. They're ten and 975 00:52:30,040 --> 00:52:33,880 Speaker 1: three and with Buffalo it's always trust like you're waiting 976 00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:36,040 Speaker 1: for them to fall, You're waiting for them to fall 977 00:52:36,040 --> 00:52:38,319 Speaker 1: on their face. Last night was the night Pittsburgh com 978 00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:40,799 Speaker 1: slaps them around the whole parties over. They didn't have 979 00:52:40,880 --> 00:52:42,920 Speaker 1: the big drop, they didn't have the big miss, they 980 00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:45,120 Speaker 1: didn't fall in their face. It's not only that Buffalo 981 00:52:45,239 --> 00:52:48,000 Speaker 1: is good, it's that they're great and more. You can 982 00:52:48,080 --> 00:52:51,560 Speaker 1: trust Buffalo. You haven't trusted Buffalo in twenty five years. 983 00:52:51,640 --> 00:52:55,080 Speaker 1: They haven't won the division since before Josh Allen was born. 984 00:52:55,560 --> 00:52:58,160 Speaker 1: It's a great, great night, and I gotta say my 985 00:52:58,280 --> 00:53:01,359 Speaker 1: takeaway from this night was it felt like if this 986 00:53:01,480 --> 00:53:05,600 Speaker 1: was a fight. Buffalo knocks out Pittsburgh and they go 987 00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:07,560 Speaker 1: to them in the ring and their adrenaline is up 988 00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:09,520 Speaker 1: and they're sweating, and you know, Joe Rogan's on the 989 00:53:09,560 --> 00:53:13,120 Speaker 1: mic and they look ringside and they say, case, I 990 00:53:13,239 --> 00:53:16,240 Speaker 1: want you, I wantch you now, I want you again, 991 00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:18,080 Speaker 1: Let's do it tonight. It was like there was a 992 00:53:18,120 --> 00:53:22,040 Speaker 1: call out factor of gimme KC now. Especially was what 993 00:53:22,080 --> 00:53:23,719 Speaker 1: we saw from KCRO on the day, which we'll get 994 00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:27,439 Speaker 1: into Buffalo's second best team in the FC. Buffalo could 995 00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:29,239 Speaker 1: win the AFC if they played like that. It was. 996 00:53:29,320 --> 00:53:31,640 Speaker 1: It was just a great, great night in Buffalo. Great. 997 00:53:31,760 --> 00:53:35,960 Speaker 1: So there's the man now with the coming off his soliloquy. 998 00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:38,640 Speaker 1: There here is one Kyle Brandt And uh, you know, Kyle, 999 00:53:39,120 --> 00:53:41,120 Speaker 1: we were just I think everybody in Buffalo is just 1000 00:53:41,160 --> 00:53:45,319 Speaker 1: as pumped as you were, if not more so. And 1001 00:53:45,320 --> 00:53:46,759 Speaker 1: and Steve and I we're talking about this on the 1002 00:53:46,760 --> 00:53:50,080 Speaker 1: show yesterday. Kyle Pittsburgh looks dead in the water man. 1003 00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:53,560 Speaker 1: Those guys were hanging out there. No bye week and 1004 00:53:53,719 --> 00:53:59,520 Speaker 1: three games in twelve days. The fatigue was evident. Well, 1005 00:54:00,480 --> 00:54:03,680 Speaker 1: let me say Chris and Steve, good morning you beautiful bastards. 1006 00:54:03,880 --> 00:54:07,000 Speaker 1: I just want to make sure that's become something of 1007 00:54:08,200 --> 00:54:10,840 Speaker 1: is a term of affection. Believe me as it is 1008 00:54:10,880 --> 00:54:14,120 Speaker 1: for everybody listening. Every Bills fan in my social media 1009 00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:18,799 Speaker 1: mentions is using that phrase at me, reciprocating, and somehow 1010 00:54:19,120 --> 00:54:21,160 Speaker 1: it's like a high five and a hug right time 1011 00:54:21,200 --> 00:54:23,720 Speaker 1: when we're not supposed to do either. So it's awesome 1012 00:54:23,760 --> 00:54:26,280 Speaker 1: to talk to you. Thank you for playing that clip 1013 00:54:26,320 --> 00:54:28,880 Speaker 1: on the way in after they beat the Steelers that 1014 00:54:28,960 --> 00:54:32,040 Speaker 1: you mentioned Brownie, and what an incredible moment it was. 1015 00:54:32,160 --> 00:54:33,920 Speaker 1: I meant every single word of it, as I know 1016 00:54:33,960 --> 00:54:35,759 Speaker 1: all the things that you guys have been talking about. 1017 00:54:35,840 --> 00:54:38,239 Speaker 1: I'm sure too. Is it feels so genuine right now. 1018 00:54:38,320 --> 00:54:40,799 Speaker 1: I remember last week we were here and Steve, you 1019 00:54:40,840 --> 00:54:42,960 Speaker 1: were doing the very prudent thing and you were saying, 1020 00:54:43,360 --> 00:54:45,879 Speaker 1: I don't want anyone to get too excited. There's still 1021 00:54:45,880 --> 00:54:47,279 Speaker 1: a lot of games to win. There's a lot of 1022 00:54:47,280 --> 00:54:49,160 Speaker 1: football to play. I'm trying to pump the brakes and 1023 00:54:49,239 --> 00:54:51,640 Speaker 1: you were wise to do that. But then they just 1024 00:54:51,640 --> 00:54:53,799 Speaker 1: went and beat an eleven and one team and they 1025 00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:58,000 Speaker 1: beat them convincingly, Like that was a really really cool night. 1026 00:54:58,000 --> 00:54:59,480 Speaker 1: They've got a lot of wins the last few years, 1027 00:54:59,520 --> 00:55:01,760 Speaker 1: let's be honest, a lot of them. That one was special. 1028 00:55:01,880 --> 00:55:03,759 Speaker 1: That one felt like a turn the corner win. It 1029 00:55:03,840 --> 00:55:06,600 Speaker 1: really did. And I mean what, I'll double down on it. 1030 00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:09,320 Speaker 1: It's very dangerous to go on television or the radio 1031 00:55:09,360 --> 00:55:11,719 Speaker 1: and say I trust this team. They can win. They're 1032 00:55:11,760 --> 00:55:13,440 Speaker 1: not gonna make me look bad next week when they 1033 00:55:13,480 --> 00:55:16,040 Speaker 1: lose by three touchdowns. That's how you get your credibility 1034 00:55:16,080 --> 00:55:18,759 Speaker 1: yank from you. I'm screaming it from the rooftops. I 1035 00:55:18,840 --> 00:55:22,239 Speaker 1: trust the Bills, which I haven't said since I was 1036 00:55:22,280 --> 00:55:24,839 Speaker 1: the seventh grade. I think it's an awesome, awesome thing. 1037 00:55:25,200 --> 00:55:26,960 Speaker 1: And now the Steelers have blood on the water and 1038 00:55:27,000 --> 00:55:29,200 Speaker 1: the Bills are the ones who drew it from them. 1039 00:55:29,280 --> 00:55:31,200 Speaker 1: And that's really what that game was all about. It 1040 00:55:32,120 --> 00:55:35,800 Speaker 1: proved that they were not a roller coaster team anymore. 1041 00:55:35,840 --> 00:55:37,520 Speaker 1: They're good. You're gonna have to play well to beat 1042 00:55:37,560 --> 00:55:39,640 Speaker 1: them every single week. And I think that's one of 1043 00:55:39,680 --> 00:55:41,759 Speaker 1: the things that people have been looking for. And I 1044 00:55:41,840 --> 00:55:44,400 Speaker 1: noticed two, you're wearing the Josh Allen fanbox T shirt. 1045 00:55:44,520 --> 00:55:48,040 Speaker 1: Very nice. I like to touch. We gotta. We're asking 1046 00:55:48,040 --> 00:55:50,360 Speaker 1: this today of our listeners. I get your take on it. 1047 00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:52,319 Speaker 1: You've you've kind of hung with us the last couple 1048 00:55:52,320 --> 00:55:54,560 Speaker 1: of years, watching Josh get better and better doing all this. 1049 00:55:55,320 --> 00:55:57,560 Speaker 1: What do you think you think Josh Allen's just the 1050 00:55:57,600 --> 00:56:00,160 Speaker 1: tip of the iceberg here in his abilities and he's 1051 00:56:00,160 --> 00:56:01,759 Speaker 1: going to be a quarterback or do you think he's 1052 00:56:01,840 --> 00:56:04,239 Speaker 1: just he's kind of got most of it, maybe just 1053 00:56:04,320 --> 00:56:07,600 Speaker 1: behind Mahomes, a little behind Rogers, but he's gonna get there. 1054 00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:11,000 Speaker 1: Or do you think what do we care? He's good enough? Now? 1055 00:56:11,760 --> 00:56:13,839 Speaker 1: Where do you stand on Josh Allen, where he's at 1056 00:56:13,840 --> 00:56:15,719 Speaker 1: in his development, how far he's got to go, and 1057 00:56:15,800 --> 00:56:19,480 Speaker 1: anything else? Well, Steve, we have been talking for a 1058 00:56:19,480 --> 00:56:21,560 Speaker 1: couple of years, and I could point out how different 1059 00:56:21,680 --> 00:56:25,480 Speaker 1: he is from week one of twenty nineteen, but I 1060 00:56:25,480 --> 00:56:27,600 Speaker 1: don't even need to. I feel like he looks different 1061 00:56:27,640 --> 00:56:30,919 Speaker 1: from week seven of twenty twenty, like over the last 1062 00:56:30,920 --> 00:56:34,560 Speaker 1: couple of months, something's clicked. And the other thing we 1063 00:56:34,600 --> 00:56:36,200 Speaker 1: talked about all the time, and this is one of 1064 00:56:36,200 --> 00:56:38,960 Speaker 1: our favorite little running jokes, is that I used to 1065 00:56:38,960 --> 00:56:41,799 Speaker 1: call him sugar Hi Josh Allen, because he has energy 1066 00:56:41,840 --> 00:56:44,800 Speaker 1: would get out of control and he was like an 1067 00:56:44,880 --> 00:56:47,759 Speaker 1: over stimulated child who would just lash out and throw 1068 00:56:47,800 --> 00:56:50,319 Speaker 1: a fit or throw an absurd lateral or a head 1069 00:56:50,320 --> 00:56:54,160 Speaker 1: scratching interception. I don't see any trace of that right now. 1070 00:56:54,320 --> 00:56:59,440 Speaker 1: I see calm, steely Josh Allen. He's not eating sugar. 1071 00:56:59,440 --> 00:57:02,200 Speaker 1: He's gonna come completely vegan. He's eating that green juice 1072 00:57:02,239 --> 00:57:05,920 Speaker 1: stuff he's just calm and zen. And no he's not 1073 00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:08,319 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes. I'm not gonna blow smoke. He's not even 1074 00:57:08,320 --> 00:57:11,680 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. But I gotta tell you he was way 1075 00:57:11,719 --> 00:57:14,560 Speaker 1: better than Roethlisberger the other night, and he had a 1076 00:57:14,680 --> 00:57:17,880 Speaker 1: Rodgers like calm in the third quarter. First half wasn't pretty, 1077 00:57:18,040 --> 00:57:21,120 Speaker 1: It's sloppy. It was. That's fine. Josh Allen through an 1078 00:57:21,160 --> 00:57:23,640 Speaker 1: interception in this game. I don't care in the third 1079 00:57:23,720 --> 00:57:27,160 Speaker 1: quarter when he was cooking. There are not There are 1080 00:57:27,160 --> 00:57:29,160 Speaker 1: not three or four quarterbacks in the league who are 1081 00:57:29,160 --> 00:57:31,600 Speaker 1: better than him. And I don't mean more talented, I 1082 00:57:31,680 --> 00:57:34,760 Speaker 1: mean better. He is now a few years in and 1083 00:57:34,880 --> 00:57:37,560 Speaker 1: it is rounding the corner. It is awesome to watch. 1084 00:57:37,640 --> 00:57:39,680 Speaker 1: Never mind the arm. We know about the arm. We've 1085 00:57:39,680 --> 00:57:42,000 Speaker 1: known about the arm for years. We know about the height, 1086 00:57:42,080 --> 00:57:45,000 Speaker 1: we know he trains and competes. It's all great. It 1087 00:57:45,200 --> 00:57:48,800 Speaker 1: is the calm and the poise that is like an 1088 00:57:48,840 --> 00:57:52,360 Speaker 1: awesome wave as it Bill's enthusiast at which I consider 1089 00:57:52,440 --> 00:57:55,840 Speaker 1: myself like, wow, Josh, I think is figuring this thing 1090 00:57:55,880 --> 00:57:58,560 Speaker 1: out between the ears. And if he does that, I 1091 00:57:58,600 --> 00:58:01,400 Speaker 1: mean he can win a ring. So, Kyle, we wanted 1092 00:58:01,440 --> 00:58:04,600 Speaker 1: to bounce this off of you, because you are known 1093 00:58:04,600 --> 00:58:07,200 Speaker 1: as the movie buff, the Rewatchables and all of that. 1094 00:58:07,360 --> 00:58:10,520 Speaker 1: So I'm sure you saw. I believe you even commented 1095 00:58:10,600 --> 00:58:15,160 Speaker 1: on this. But the blood Sport scene reference, which kind 1096 00:58:15,160 --> 00:58:16,840 Speaker 1: of played off of what you said in the clip 1097 00:58:16,880 --> 00:58:19,440 Speaker 1: that we just played like I want you, KC. So 1098 00:58:19,480 --> 00:58:22,640 Speaker 1: there it is the scene and they've attached logos to 1099 00:58:22,680 --> 00:58:26,200 Speaker 1: each respective guy, and you know, the Bills guy wins 1100 00:58:26,240 --> 00:58:28,600 Speaker 1: the fight here and then he points to Chung Lee 1101 00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:32,360 Speaker 1: and calls him out, who is figuratively in this instance, KC. 1102 00:58:32,960 --> 00:58:35,120 Speaker 1: But that that didn't end well for the guy who's 1103 00:58:35,360 --> 00:58:38,760 Speaker 1: who's representing the Bills here. So I need a ruling 1104 00:58:38,800 --> 00:58:40,640 Speaker 1: on this. Where do you come down on this thing? 1105 00:58:41,360 --> 00:58:43,800 Speaker 1: All right? So what we have is is the classic 1106 00:58:43,880 --> 00:58:46,840 Speaker 1: the mid eighties martial arts classic blood sports. Start in 1107 00:58:46,880 --> 00:58:49,080 Speaker 1: Van Dam, who actually has very little to do with 1108 00:58:49,120 --> 00:58:52,120 Speaker 1: this meme. The star of the meme is Donald Gibb, 1109 00:58:52,320 --> 00:58:54,400 Speaker 1: the same actor who played Ogre in the Revenge of 1110 00:58:54,400 --> 00:58:56,960 Speaker 1: the Nerds film, who plays Ray Jackson in this movie. 1111 00:58:57,560 --> 00:59:01,080 Speaker 1: Ogre represents the Bills as you said, and there's no 1112 00:59:01,200 --> 00:59:04,600 Speaker 1: name guy in the Kumata represents the Steelers after Ogre 1113 00:59:04,720 --> 00:59:07,200 Speaker 1: beats up the Steelers. He wants a piece of the 1114 00:59:07,320 --> 00:59:10,560 Speaker 1: Chiefs aka Chong Lee played by the immortal Bolo Young, 1115 00:59:10,640 --> 00:59:13,960 Speaker 1: who has the world's largest pectorals. So to your point, Brownie, 1116 00:59:14,080 --> 00:59:17,840 Speaker 1: this is fascinating because he says, you man, I'm gonna 1117 00:59:17,960 --> 00:59:19,880 Speaker 1: kill you man. I watch and he wants a piece 1118 00:59:19,880 --> 00:59:23,880 Speaker 1: of the Chiefs. Now in the movie, yes, Seng Lee. 1119 00:59:23,920 --> 00:59:27,800 Speaker 1: In this case, the Chiefs does send Ray Jackson the 1120 00:59:27,840 --> 00:59:31,760 Speaker 1: bills to the hospital. The hospital. Yea literally a hospital job. However, 1121 00:59:32,360 --> 00:59:35,840 Speaker 1: there's creative license here. If you remember the fight, Brownie, 1122 00:59:36,560 --> 00:59:40,760 Speaker 1: Ray Jackson wins the early exchanges and drops Cheong Lee 1123 00:59:40,800 --> 00:59:43,760 Speaker 1: to one knee, and then his arrogance. Dare I say, 1124 00:59:43,840 --> 00:59:47,280 Speaker 1: is hubris of playing to the crowd is what gets 1125 00:59:47,320 --> 00:59:50,040 Speaker 1: him in trouble. I don't think a Sean McDermott team 1126 00:59:50,160 --> 00:59:52,120 Speaker 1: would have coached him up to do that. I think 1127 00:59:52,120 --> 00:59:56,320 Speaker 1: that Ray Jackson stayed on to finish, So that is 1128 00:59:56,360 --> 00:59:59,520 Speaker 1: where we divert The physical aspects are the same, but 1129 00:59:59,680 --> 01:00:02,560 Speaker 1: mc would be in the ogre's corner, and I think 1130 01:00:02,600 --> 01:00:06,280 Speaker 1: he finishes the Chong Leader. I'm fascinated by a bris 1131 01:00:06,480 --> 01:00:09,480 Speaker 1: is not part of the process. You're right, no, so 1132 01:00:09,600 --> 01:00:11,960 Speaker 1: Hubris with McDermott, Are you kidding me? Not a chance? 1133 01:00:12,200 --> 01:00:14,560 Speaker 1: And I think the Kuma has a very different ending 1134 01:00:14,880 --> 01:00:17,440 Speaker 1: where really it could have ended up ogre versus Van 1135 01:00:17,520 --> 01:00:21,960 Speaker 1: dam friend, I'm friend, and maybe that'll be Week seventeen 1136 01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:24,080 Speaker 1: against the Dolphins. Who knows when they're trying to gain, 1137 01:00:24,120 --> 01:00:25,600 Speaker 1: But I know the deals are going and they're in 1138 01:00:25,640 --> 01:00:28,200 Speaker 1: the final. This is why I told you. I told 1139 01:00:28,200 --> 01:00:31,560 Speaker 1: Brownie this yesterday. Though it does seem and I'm sure 1140 01:00:31,600 --> 01:00:33,080 Speaker 1: the Bills aren't the only team that feels like this. 1141 01:00:33,160 --> 01:00:36,680 Speaker 1: Maybe the Tennessee Titans, Indianapolis Colts, Uh, you know, Miami, 1142 01:00:36,760 --> 01:00:38,760 Speaker 1: you can go down the list of the playoff, the 1143 01:00:38,760 --> 01:00:42,160 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh everybody feels like they're on a collision courts with 1144 01:00:42,280 --> 01:00:48,360 Speaker 1: Kansas City. I know, yeah, because Kansas City obviously we 1145 01:00:48,480 --> 01:00:50,880 Speaker 1: know all about it, the front runners of the headliners. 1146 01:00:51,040 --> 01:00:53,200 Speaker 1: But I also do think they have something in common 1147 01:00:53,320 --> 01:00:56,360 Speaker 1: with Buffalo in the sense that Kansas City got their 1148 01:00:56,440 --> 01:00:58,640 Speaker 1: little skit out of the way. Kansas City took a 1149 01:00:58,680 --> 01:01:02,600 Speaker 1: home loss to a decent Raiders team and hasn't lost 1150 01:01:02,640 --> 01:01:04,880 Speaker 1: since that Bills thing in the middle of the seas. 1151 01:01:04,880 --> 01:01:06,800 Speaker 1: I remember coming on those weeks when they were losing 1152 01:01:06,840 --> 01:01:10,400 Speaker 1: to the Titans the Chiefs back to back, left Titans 1153 01:01:10,400 --> 01:01:13,919 Speaker 1: and Chiefs. Yeah Titans, Okay, yeah, Titans and Chiefs. And 1154 01:01:14,520 --> 01:01:16,920 Speaker 1: since then their only loss was on a miracle free 1155 01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:19,920 Speaker 1: Ko Mary plate. That feels to me like in the 1156 01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:22,920 Speaker 1: road trip that is the Bills season this year, they 1157 01:01:22,960 --> 01:01:25,000 Speaker 1: pulled over on the side of the road, they puked 1158 01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:26,840 Speaker 1: their guts out, they got back in the car and 1159 01:01:26,920 --> 01:01:29,200 Speaker 1: kept driving. I feel like the Chiefs did the same thing. 1160 01:01:29,240 --> 01:01:30,920 Speaker 1: They skidded for a bit too, even though it was 1161 01:01:30,960 --> 01:01:33,920 Speaker 1: just one game. And now they're just cruising. They're cruising 1162 01:01:34,240 --> 01:01:37,280 Speaker 1: and it's our conversation. This was the fun thing. After 1163 01:01:37,400 --> 01:01:40,120 Speaker 1: the Bill Steelers game, it was like, all right, so 1164 01:01:40,160 --> 01:01:44,000 Speaker 1: it's not Chiefs Steelers anymore. I think it's Chiefs Bills 1165 01:01:44,200 --> 01:01:46,560 Speaker 1: in the one two spot, and I don't have any 1166 01:01:46,640 --> 01:01:49,560 Speaker 1: argument about it. I mean, the Steelers right now, they're 1167 01:01:49,600 --> 01:01:51,680 Speaker 1: looking up at the Ravens as the hottest team in 1168 01:01:51,720 --> 01:01:54,880 Speaker 1: their own division, and so is Cleveland. So the Ravens 1169 01:01:54,920 --> 01:01:56,880 Speaker 1: are gonna come running. The Steelers have almost like it 1170 01:01:56,880 --> 01:01:58,880 Speaker 1: feels like a must win this weekend in front of 1171 01:01:58,880 --> 01:02:01,880 Speaker 1: eleven and two team it's and what do you what 1172 01:02:01,960 --> 01:02:04,680 Speaker 1: do you make about the Steelers team because I don't know. 1173 01:02:04,720 --> 01:02:07,000 Speaker 1: I mean I had not seen enough of their games 1174 01:02:07,120 --> 01:02:10,280 Speaker 1: coming into the game this past weekend and they you know, 1175 01:02:10,320 --> 01:02:11,960 Speaker 1: they lost their bye week, as we know, with all 1176 01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:15,240 Speaker 1: the scheduling snaffoos with the Titans mess and then they 1177 01:02:15,240 --> 01:02:18,560 Speaker 1: had the Ravens mess around Thanksgiving and they've been the 1178 01:02:18,640 --> 01:02:21,920 Speaker 1: victims of that and third game in twelve days. I mean, 1179 01:02:21,960 --> 01:02:24,280 Speaker 1: they were hanging in the second half of that game. 1180 01:02:24,560 --> 01:02:26,800 Speaker 1: I don't know how Tomlin can fix that other than 1181 01:02:26,840 --> 01:02:29,280 Speaker 1: to tell them, Hey, take the Noos four days off, 1182 01:02:29,320 --> 01:02:32,600 Speaker 1: We'll do a walkthrough on Friday, and hopefully you guys 1183 01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:34,880 Speaker 1: have live legs for the for the stretch run here, 1184 01:02:34,880 --> 01:02:38,000 Speaker 1: because eleven wins is not a lock to win the 1185 01:02:38,000 --> 01:02:43,240 Speaker 1: AFC North. Now with Baltimore and Cleveland hot on their heels. Well, 1186 01:02:43,320 --> 01:02:44,760 Speaker 1: here's here's the thing. And I want to go on 1187 01:02:44,840 --> 01:02:46,760 Speaker 1: record of saying this, I'm not giving up on Pittsburgh 1188 01:02:46,800 --> 01:02:48,840 Speaker 1: at all the things they have going for him. First 1189 01:02:48,840 --> 01:02:50,480 Speaker 1: of all, they play the Bengals this week, all right, 1190 01:02:50,480 --> 01:02:54,280 Speaker 1: they need somebody like that, the Bengals with their backup quarterback. Second, 1191 01:02:54,280 --> 01:02:57,120 Speaker 1: they just a return to normalcy, just a normal game 1192 01:02:57,120 --> 01:03:00,040 Speaker 1: week where you prepare you get ready and then you 1193 01:03:00,080 --> 01:03:01,960 Speaker 1: go and you play the game. And in fact, this 1194 01:03:02,000 --> 01:03:04,080 Speaker 1: one is in primetime, so they have extra time. So 1195 01:03:04,680 --> 01:03:06,880 Speaker 1: I still believe in Tomlin and Roethlisberger and t J. 1196 01:03:07,000 --> 01:03:08,680 Speaker 1: Watt at all. I still think they could win a 1197 01:03:08,680 --> 01:03:11,640 Speaker 1: playoff game. The thing that's fascinating to me, and I 1198 01:03:11,680 --> 01:03:15,000 Speaker 1: know you guys have probably touched on this, the Juju 1199 01:03:15,040 --> 01:03:18,440 Speaker 1: Smith Shooter dancing thing has a whole life, and it 1200 01:03:18,480 --> 01:03:21,320 Speaker 1: has a life that affects me personally as it pertains 1201 01:03:21,320 --> 01:03:23,880 Speaker 1: to Bills fans. Can we get into this for a second, 1202 01:03:23,920 --> 01:03:27,360 Speaker 1: because you know that Juju does the dancing on the logo, 1203 01:03:27,880 --> 01:03:30,360 Speaker 1: and this was before the game. He's been doing this 1204 01:03:30,400 --> 01:03:32,440 Speaker 1: apparently every week he goes and does his dance and 1205 01:03:32,440 --> 01:03:34,280 Speaker 1: he's big on TikTok and all that, and that's great. 1206 01:03:34,600 --> 01:03:37,000 Speaker 1: Then you have the clip of Josh Allen saying before 1207 01:03:37,000 --> 01:03:39,600 Speaker 1: they take the field, they want to do the bleeping dancing. 1208 01:03:39,640 --> 01:03:41,480 Speaker 1: We're gonna bleep and work and we're gonna take them out. 1209 01:03:41,640 --> 01:03:45,520 Speaker 1: Here's where I think is fascinated. So Juju from going 1210 01:03:45,560 --> 01:03:48,280 Speaker 1: back a couple of weeks one the Angry runs scepter 1211 01:03:48,440 --> 01:03:51,120 Speaker 1: on Good Morning Football, he did not send a picture 1212 01:03:51,160 --> 01:03:53,160 Speaker 1: as his customed to do, as Josh Allen did with 1213 01:03:53,200 --> 01:03:57,000 Speaker 1: cantelopes until forty eight hours and he sent a video 1214 01:03:57,480 --> 01:04:00,360 Speaker 1: of him dancing with the scepter where in the angry 1215 01:04:00,440 --> 01:04:03,360 Speaker 1: Run shirt. You should see the replies to this because 1216 01:04:03,360 --> 01:04:07,000 Speaker 1: I treated it and the Bills fans replies to Juju 1217 01:04:07,120 --> 01:04:09,480 Speaker 1: dancing amidst the two game losing street, I'm gonna read 1218 01:04:09,480 --> 01:04:11,960 Speaker 1: you some of them. This is incredible, So Juju dancing 1219 01:04:12,000 --> 01:04:15,480 Speaker 1: with the angry Run scepter. Luis Lopez says, the guy's 1220 01:04:15,520 --> 01:04:18,080 Speaker 1: still dancing like a four year old after getting whooped 1221 01:04:18,080 --> 01:04:22,120 Speaker 1: two weeks in a row. Smh. David says, that's the 1222 01:04:22,240 --> 01:04:26,160 Speaker 1: least angry thing I've ever seen. Ask for the scepter back, Kyle, 1223 01:04:26,520 --> 01:04:29,360 Speaker 1: and lastly, my favorite, this guy name is Bub. Bub 1224 01:04:29,400 --> 01:04:32,520 Speaker 1: says the only thing tiktoking is the time left in 1225 01:04:32,560 --> 01:04:36,800 Speaker 1: the Steelers season. About a hundred I could read you 1226 01:04:37,200 --> 01:04:39,600 Speaker 1: it is. I respect Juju. He's twenty years younger than 1227 01:04:39,640 --> 01:04:41,200 Speaker 1: he can dance if you want to. But the Bills 1228 01:04:41,240 --> 01:04:43,480 Speaker 1: fans have their knives out and you beat me too. 1229 01:04:44,160 --> 01:04:46,080 Speaker 1: Be my next question. You know where you come down 1230 01:04:46,080 --> 01:04:49,480 Speaker 1: on the whole tiktoking thing with Smith Schuster, and I 1231 01:04:49,480 --> 01:04:52,440 Speaker 1: don't know what it is. It just seems like after 1232 01:04:52,800 --> 01:04:57,360 Speaker 1: Steelers receivers kind of established themselves in Pittsburgh, they go 1233 01:04:57,440 --> 01:05:00,360 Speaker 1: off and do something completely out of the round of 1234 01:05:00,360 --> 01:05:03,840 Speaker 1: what Mike Tomlin would approve of, and they repeat. It's 1235 01:05:03,880 --> 01:05:08,600 Speaker 1: like history repeating itself, whether it's Antonio Brown live face 1236 01:05:08,680 --> 01:05:12,880 Speaker 1: timing in a postgame locker room or this with Juju. 1237 01:05:13,320 --> 01:05:15,640 Speaker 1: I mean, you could even go back to Santonio Holmes 1238 01:05:15,680 --> 01:05:19,080 Speaker 1: and some stupid stuff that he did. Plaxico. What is 1239 01:05:19,120 --> 01:05:22,440 Speaker 1: it with the receiver position in Pittsburgh. I don't get it. 1240 01:05:22,440 --> 01:05:24,480 Speaker 1: It is a little bit nuts that. Thank god you 1241 01:05:24,520 --> 01:05:26,640 Speaker 1: have behins Ward, who was just all heart and just 1242 01:05:26,760 --> 01:05:29,960 Speaker 1: knocking people out. I listen, the second I start talking 1243 01:05:29,960 --> 01:05:32,840 Speaker 1: about wide receivers tiktoking, I start to age myself by 1244 01:05:32,920 --> 01:05:35,840 Speaker 1: eighty years, and I feel like I'm my great grandfather. 1245 01:05:36,240 --> 01:05:38,560 Speaker 1: But it is it is strike you a little strange 1246 01:05:38,600 --> 01:05:40,720 Speaker 1: to do that type of stuff and then lose. I 1247 01:05:40,800 --> 01:05:43,640 Speaker 1: look at you, Steve. What would a coach Levy have 1248 01:05:43,760 --> 01:05:47,840 Speaker 1: thought if Andrea was a tiktoking and dancing on logos 1249 01:05:47,880 --> 01:05:51,360 Speaker 1: before a game in which they lose. Yeah, he bind 1250 01:05:51,400 --> 01:05:59,600 Speaker 1: has said something about that. It might have come up 1251 01:06:00,040 --> 01:06:02,600 Speaker 1: in a very college professor like, what they don't care, 1252 01:06:02,960 --> 01:06:04,919 Speaker 1: you better win. If you're gonna dance on our logo, 1253 01:06:04,920 --> 01:06:06,640 Speaker 1: you better do us for nine catches and a win. 1254 01:06:06,720 --> 01:06:09,919 Speaker 1: I mean, listen, I cleaned up those replies from oh yeah, 1255 01:06:09,920 --> 01:06:13,840 Speaker 1: the Mafia. Yeah they're they're an unbelievable guys. Yeah, I'm 1256 01:06:14,440 --> 01:06:17,240 Speaker 1: I'm sensing. I'm sensing marvs don't be dumb, don't be 1257 01:06:17,280 --> 01:06:19,240 Speaker 1: dirty line. That was one of his big lines. Yeah, 1258 01:06:19,280 --> 01:06:21,360 Speaker 1: that would I think that would qualify as John would 1259 01:06:21,360 --> 01:06:23,120 Speaker 1: have been in. Yeah, and I know this too. Yeah, 1260 01:06:23,120 --> 01:06:26,520 Speaker 1: the bills Mafia on they are completely unfiltered. There's no 1261 01:06:26,560 --> 01:06:30,320 Speaker 1: doubt about it. And so yeah, I'm totally with you. 1262 01:06:30,440 --> 01:06:33,280 Speaker 1: And it would have come up on during a meeting 1263 01:06:33,760 --> 01:06:38,959 Speaker 1: and it yeah yeah, Steve, but it would have been listen, 1264 01:06:39,040 --> 01:06:41,400 Speaker 1: if everything would have been on TikTok and social media, 1265 01:06:42,000 --> 01:06:45,560 Speaker 1: andre dancing on the logo would have been down. The 1266 01:06:45,640 --> 01:06:49,760 Speaker 1: list would have paled in comparison that Yeah you got 1267 01:06:49,920 --> 01:06:53,680 Speaker 1: oh boy, that group, that group on social media with 1268 01:06:53,840 --> 01:06:55,960 Speaker 1: camera phones, and who would have been the best follow 1269 01:06:56,080 --> 01:07:01,959 Speaker 1: on Twitter of that group? Yeah, it's a tough one. Well, 1270 01:07:02,040 --> 01:07:04,400 Speaker 1: let's say, well, it probably would have been Jim, except 1271 01:07:04,440 --> 01:07:05,760 Speaker 1: it never would have been Jim. It would have been 1272 01:07:05,760 --> 01:07:09,040 Speaker 1: everybody around Jim. Everybody around You follow all of Jim's friends, 1273 01:07:09,400 --> 01:07:13,720 Speaker 1: you follow Jim's entourage to find out what's doing. Yeah, 1274 01:07:13,800 --> 01:07:16,240 Speaker 1: that's how it would have That's how it would work. Right. 1275 01:07:16,400 --> 01:07:19,320 Speaker 1: So let's let's take a look at this the AFC 1276 01:07:19,520 --> 01:07:24,040 Speaker 1: landscape right now, Kyle. You know the wild game last 1277 01:07:24,120 --> 01:07:27,080 Speaker 1: night where Lamar kind of pulls a little bit of 1278 01:07:27,080 --> 01:07:29,080 Speaker 1: a willis read. Granted he wasn't injured, he was just 1279 01:07:29,120 --> 01:07:32,840 Speaker 1: getting an IV. But first of all, that game. First 1280 01:07:32,840 --> 01:07:36,800 Speaker 1: of all that game, because now Baltimore has been resuscitated 1281 01:07:36,840 --> 01:07:40,240 Speaker 1: as I see it, and they are a legitimate threat 1282 01:07:40,280 --> 01:07:43,560 Speaker 1: to anybody that plays them. And now you look at 1283 01:07:43,600 --> 01:07:47,120 Speaker 1: the AFC North, Kyle, I don't know if eleven wins 1284 01:07:47,640 --> 01:07:50,400 Speaker 1: wins that division. You got some teams with some favorable 1285 01:07:50,400 --> 01:07:54,400 Speaker 1: schedules between Cleveland, Baltimore and Pittsburgh. It might take twelve 1286 01:07:54,400 --> 01:07:58,880 Speaker 1: wins to take that division. Yeah, the Ravens are getting in, 1287 01:07:59,120 --> 01:08:02,800 Speaker 1: I'll call it right now. Their schedule is a cakewalk. 1288 01:08:03,240 --> 01:08:07,080 Speaker 1: Their MVP is alive. They just played three games in 1289 01:08:07,120 --> 01:08:09,240 Speaker 1: twelve days, two of them were on the road, two 1290 01:08:09,280 --> 01:08:12,360 Speaker 1: of them were wins. The one that they lost was 1291 01:08:12,440 --> 01:08:15,160 Speaker 1: the MVP wasn't even playing. And it's the last thing 1292 01:08:15,200 --> 01:08:16,600 Speaker 1: I want to see. And I'll say this to the 1293 01:08:16,640 --> 01:08:19,719 Speaker 1: Bills fans too, No one wants to see this number 1294 01:08:19,800 --> 01:08:22,720 Speaker 1: eight Lamar Jackson running around the field during his four 1295 01:08:22,840 --> 01:08:25,080 Speaker 1: three speed. This is you wanted the Ravens to just 1296 01:08:25,120 --> 01:08:27,519 Speaker 1: curl up and die and go away because they have 1297 01:08:28,000 --> 01:08:31,080 Speaker 1: knockout power. Now you might come back and say, well, 1298 01:08:31,280 --> 01:08:33,240 Speaker 1: they had knockout power last year and they went one 1299 01:08:33,280 --> 01:08:36,320 Speaker 1: and done, different team, different time. I wish the Ravens 1300 01:08:36,360 --> 01:08:38,000 Speaker 1: would have just gone away. If I'm a Bills fan, 1301 01:08:38,320 --> 01:08:41,439 Speaker 1: and in the same breath, I don't like playing the 1302 01:08:41,479 --> 01:08:45,480 Speaker 1: Browns either, because you know they could run. Baker Mayfield 1303 01:08:45,680 --> 01:08:48,120 Speaker 1: had one of these incredible things where he played one 1304 01:08:48,160 --> 01:08:51,160 Speaker 1: of the games of his life in a loss. It 1305 01:08:51,240 --> 01:08:53,759 Speaker 1: was an I think if Baker Mayfild had thirty seconds 1306 01:08:53,800 --> 01:08:55,200 Speaker 1: at the end of this game last night, he would 1307 01:08:55,200 --> 01:08:56,880 Speaker 1: have gone down the field and gotten him another score. 1308 01:08:57,040 --> 01:08:59,880 Speaker 1: He was totally unstoppable. There's nothing they could have done 1309 01:08:59,880 --> 01:09:01,840 Speaker 1: about it. And you might say, well, yeah, he threw 1310 01:09:01,840 --> 01:09:04,679 Speaker 1: an interception, Yes he did. It was his first interception 1311 01:09:04,760 --> 01:09:08,040 Speaker 1: in six weeks. He also ran for a score through 1312 01:09:08,040 --> 01:09:10,080 Speaker 1: for scores. Baker was great, and I think Baker is 1313 01:09:10,080 --> 01:09:12,280 Speaker 1: gonna be in the playoffs. Two. I think there's gonna 1314 01:09:12,280 --> 01:09:14,599 Speaker 1: be three teams from the AFC North in the playoffs, 1315 01:09:14,600 --> 01:09:17,080 Speaker 1: which means Buffalo is gonna play at least one of them. 1316 01:09:17,200 --> 01:09:21,000 Speaker 1: So start watching these teams because Tennessee's gonna get in. 1317 01:09:21,080 --> 01:09:23,439 Speaker 1: I think Indianapolis, I think, is gonna be on the 1318 01:09:23,479 --> 01:09:25,400 Speaker 1: outside looking in. The Chiefs will have a buy and 1319 01:09:25,439 --> 01:09:27,080 Speaker 1: the Steelers are gonna have the Rather the Bills are 1320 01:09:27,120 --> 01:09:29,080 Speaker 1: gonna have a wildcard round game, and I think it's 1321 01:09:29,120 --> 01:09:31,519 Speaker 1: gonna be from somebody in the AFC North. Yeah, I 1322 01:09:31,520 --> 01:09:34,160 Speaker 1: think he might be right those because there's no way 1323 01:09:34,200 --> 01:09:36,519 Speaker 1: you keep I don't think there's any way you can 1324 01:09:36,600 --> 01:09:38,479 Speaker 1: keep Baltimore out of there now, not what the schedule 1325 01:09:38,520 --> 01:09:42,160 Speaker 1: they've got. They've got Jacksonville, they've got Cincinnati coming up, 1326 01:09:43,000 --> 01:09:45,560 Speaker 1: and another team that they're gonna crush as well. I 1327 01:09:45,600 --> 01:09:49,600 Speaker 1: don't that they're just Jacksonville Giants Sinci. Yeah, there you go. 1328 01:09:50,120 --> 01:09:52,400 Speaker 1: That's a rap. That's a rap. They're eleven and five 1329 01:09:52,479 --> 01:09:55,120 Speaker 1: to end the season and they're in, although there could 1330 01:09:55,120 --> 01:09:57,519 Speaker 1: be And who's the ten win team that doesn't get in. 1331 01:09:59,640 --> 01:10:03,519 Speaker 1: Yeah stuff, I don't know. Listen, I like, I don't think. 1332 01:10:03,560 --> 01:10:05,080 Speaker 1: I don't think the Raiders are gonna get there. I 1333 01:10:05,080 --> 01:10:08,040 Speaker 1: think the Patriots are done. The one that's wild to 1334 01:10:08,160 --> 01:10:11,160 Speaker 1: me in the middle column, the wildcard column, I think 1335 01:10:11,160 --> 01:10:13,519 Speaker 1: Cleveland's gonna get I just think they're good. The Colts 1336 01:10:13,520 --> 01:10:16,040 Speaker 1: and the Dolphins. The Culture sent at nine and four 1337 01:10:16,520 --> 01:10:19,080 Speaker 1: coming off a huge win over the Raiders. I don't 1338 01:10:19,120 --> 01:10:21,200 Speaker 1: know if they're getting in or not. I just don't. 1339 01:10:21,240 --> 01:10:23,000 Speaker 1: It depends on a lot of what those other teams 1340 01:10:23,000 --> 01:10:25,360 Speaker 1: do surrounding them. But the Cults are the toughest team 1341 01:10:25,360 --> 01:10:27,680 Speaker 1: I think they're gonna handle of because you know, this 1342 01:10:27,760 --> 01:10:30,160 Speaker 1: is this great win last week. Look, they got absolutely 1343 01:10:30,160 --> 01:10:32,880 Speaker 1: pounded by Tennessee a few weeks back, like they it was, 1344 01:10:33,040 --> 01:10:36,040 Speaker 1: they got tapped out, So they kind of take on 1345 01:10:36,120 --> 01:10:38,599 Speaker 1: the personality of their quarterback. To me, as much as 1346 01:10:38,640 --> 01:10:40,880 Speaker 1: I like rivers career as a person, I've never been 1347 01:10:40,920 --> 01:10:43,080 Speaker 1: someone to say, yeah, I believe that Rivers is gonna 1348 01:10:43,080 --> 01:10:44,559 Speaker 1: you can count on them down the stretch. It's just 1349 01:10:44,560 --> 01:10:47,439 Speaker 1: too erratic. I mean, it's that's been fifteen years of him. 1350 01:10:47,439 --> 01:10:49,559 Speaker 1: So if the Colts get to ten or eleven wins 1351 01:10:49,560 --> 01:10:51,280 Speaker 1: and don't get in. I mean, that's insane, but we 1352 01:10:51,320 --> 01:10:55,080 Speaker 1: could be looking at something like that. Colts have Houston, Pittsburgh, Jacksonville. 1353 01:10:55,120 --> 01:10:58,120 Speaker 1: Houston can't stop anybody right now. I mean, yeah, he's 1354 01:10:58,439 --> 01:11:01,360 Speaker 1: got tied by Chicago. Pittsburgh is good, but who knows. 1355 01:11:01,360 --> 01:11:03,280 Speaker 1: I don't want to play de Shaun Watson still. I 1356 01:11:03,280 --> 01:11:05,519 Speaker 1: don't like it for Indianapolis. I'd be a much more 1357 01:11:05,600 --> 01:11:07,639 Speaker 1: comfortable a couple of other teams. All right. It's tough 1358 01:11:07,680 --> 01:11:09,760 Speaker 1: to win a division game when they're so familiar with it. 1359 01:11:09,800 --> 01:11:12,439 Speaker 1: And that's Deshaun Watson. I mean the heat. He has 1360 01:11:12,439 --> 01:11:14,719 Speaker 1: a chance against those guys. The last one for me, Kyle, 1361 01:11:15,040 --> 01:11:18,479 Speaker 1: is the conundrum that the Eagles find themselves in at 1362 01:11:18,479 --> 01:11:21,559 Speaker 1: the quarterback position. We know that it is clearly cost 1363 01:11:21,600 --> 01:11:24,439 Speaker 1: prohibitive for them to trade Carson Wentz. I think it's 1364 01:11:24,479 --> 01:11:26,320 Speaker 1: like a sixty million dollar cap hit. I don't know 1365 01:11:26,360 --> 01:11:29,320 Speaker 1: how they get around that, especially in an offseason where 1366 01:11:29,640 --> 01:11:33,400 Speaker 1: the cap at best is gonna drop only five million 1367 01:11:33,560 --> 01:11:35,920 Speaker 1: instead of twenty five, which is being tossed around now. 1368 01:11:35,920 --> 01:11:37,720 Speaker 1: It might not be one seventy five, it might be 1369 01:11:37,720 --> 01:11:41,360 Speaker 1: like one ninety two. But even with that I don't 1370 01:11:41,360 --> 01:11:43,840 Speaker 1: know how they take that kind of a cap hit. 1371 01:11:43,960 --> 01:11:49,799 Speaker 1: So where do you see this kind of landing with 1372 01:11:49,800 --> 01:11:52,800 Speaker 1: with with Hurts and with Wentz and with that organization 1373 01:11:52,920 --> 01:11:56,400 Speaker 1: going forward, you know, Crystal Balmy to twenty twenty one 1374 01:11:56,479 --> 01:12:01,280 Speaker 1: here for them complicated and messy and to be determined, 1375 01:12:01,520 --> 01:12:05,519 Speaker 1: meaning that maybe Jalen Hurts makes the easier the answer 1376 01:12:05,600 --> 01:12:07,400 Speaker 1: easier for them over the next few weeks. Now, that 1377 01:12:07,439 --> 01:12:09,720 Speaker 1: could go one of two ways. It's very possible. In 1378 01:12:09,760 --> 01:12:12,479 Speaker 1: the second start, Jalen Hurts could badly stumble. He could 1379 01:12:12,600 --> 01:12:15,040 Speaker 1: circle the drain for the next few weeks and they'd say, well, 1380 01:12:15,120 --> 01:12:17,280 Speaker 1: maybe he's a long term project. We're not ready to 1381 01:12:17,280 --> 01:12:20,960 Speaker 1: hand it over to him. It's possible. Or the Eagles 1382 01:12:20,960 --> 01:12:22,559 Speaker 1: are hosting a home playoff game in a few weeks 1383 01:12:22,560 --> 01:12:25,240 Speaker 1: and Jalen Hurts is the Dak Prescott of twenty twenty 1384 01:12:25,240 --> 01:12:26,760 Speaker 1: who just comes off the bench and just has it. 1385 01:12:27,160 --> 01:12:29,200 Speaker 1: He just beat one of the best defenses in the 1386 01:12:29,680 --> 01:12:32,160 Speaker 1: league in his first start. So if we can get 1387 01:12:32,200 --> 01:12:35,200 Speaker 1: a piece of clarity like that, either he definitely hazard 1388 01:12:35,240 --> 01:12:38,600 Speaker 1: definitely doesn't, then you make your decision easier. But the 1389 01:12:38,640 --> 01:12:40,840 Speaker 1: way things will work, it'll probably be in the middle ground, 1390 01:12:41,320 --> 01:12:45,160 Speaker 1: and listen, don't underestimate the marriage between the Philadelphia Eagles 1391 01:12:45,160 --> 01:12:47,720 Speaker 1: and Carson Wentz. And I don't mean just contractually, I 1392 01:12:47,800 --> 01:12:50,400 Speaker 1: mean the connective tissue. I mean symbolically, I mean face 1393 01:12:50,439 --> 01:12:52,880 Speaker 1: of the franchise. And this is not your garden variety 1394 01:12:52,960 --> 01:12:56,639 Speaker 1: quarterback Benching All. There's locker room leaders on that team, 1395 01:12:57,080 --> 01:13:03,280 Speaker 1: Fletcher Cox, Jason Kelsey Arts. They love Carson. They're not 1396 01:13:03,360 --> 01:13:06,360 Speaker 1: giving up on Carson. So let's say Jalen Hurts goes 1397 01:13:06,400 --> 01:13:08,679 Speaker 1: two and two down the stretch. You don't just kick 1398 01:13:08,760 --> 01:13:11,920 Speaker 1: Carson to the curb without kind of upsetting the apple cart. 1399 01:13:12,280 --> 01:13:14,720 Speaker 1: Very complicated. The best thing the Eagles can hope for 1400 01:13:15,080 --> 01:13:17,880 Speaker 1: is that Jalen Hurts is great or Jalen Hurts is 1401 01:13:17,920 --> 01:13:20,280 Speaker 1: a couple of years away, because then your decision is made. 1402 01:13:20,320 --> 01:13:23,040 Speaker 1: But I think it'll probably end up somewhere in between, right, Yeah, 1403 01:13:23,040 --> 01:13:25,400 Speaker 1: I kind of agree. That's never easy. It's never when 1404 01:13:25,400 --> 01:13:27,800 Speaker 1: you ever thought, yeah, you got two guys you want 1405 01:13:27,800 --> 01:13:30,160 Speaker 1: to be good, and you're not sure which one of 1406 01:13:30,200 --> 01:13:32,519 Speaker 1: them you wish we're good. I mean, we could be 1407 01:13:32,520 --> 01:13:34,599 Speaker 1: looking at it very well. Going back they're going both 1408 01:13:34,600 --> 01:13:37,240 Speaker 1: of them going back to Eagles training camp. Next July. 1409 01:13:37,520 --> 01:13:40,200 Speaker 1: I mean we could, we can see that. It's crazy. 1410 01:13:40,320 --> 01:13:42,599 Speaker 1: I don't know, we'll see. Kyle's great talking to you, man, 1411 01:13:43,760 --> 01:13:46,879 Speaker 1: it's great talking Enough about the poor Downtroden the Eagles, 1412 01:13:46,880 --> 01:13:49,880 Speaker 1: more about these Buffalo Bills who win again this week 1413 01:13:50,040 --> 01:13:53,559 Speaker 1: is Denver thirty to thirteen? Roll it up on them. Well, 1414 01:13:53,600 --> 01:13:55,519 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what this is gonna be. The next 1415 01:13:55,600 --> 01:13:57,559 Speaker 1: three weeks are really gonna be a lot of fun 1416 01:13:57,600 --> 01:13:59,639 Speaker 1: all over the league. A lot of really important games, 1417 01:13:59,640 --> 01:14:01,120 Speaker 1: a lot of really good football. It's gonna be a 1418 01:14:01,160 --> 01:14:04,960 Speaker 1: blast this next month table jumping season. Guys, I'm here 1419 01:14:04,960 --> 01:14:07,000 Speaker 1: for it. Thanks for having me, all right, Yeah, and 1420 01:14:07,040 --> 01:14:09,360 Speaker 1: keep us updated on those reply tweets. We love those. 1421 01:14:09,400 --> 01:14:14,320 Speaker 1: That's Skyle Brand from Good Morning Football. And yes he 1422 01:14:14,960 --> 01:14:18,880 Speaker 1: I tell you he's very good at stoking the flames 1423 01:14:18,920 --> 01:14:21,800 Speaker 1: on social media and people just come. I mean, Bills 1424 01:14:21,800 --> 01:14:26,080 Speaker 1: fans are quick. They're like the John Feliciano of social media. 1425 01:14:26,160 --> 01:14:29,000 Speaker 1: They are first man in to any kind of ruckets, 1426 01:14:29,360 --> 01:14:31,840 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. The John Bills fans are 1427 01:14:31,840 --> 01:14:34,080 Speaker 1: the John Faliziano the social media world. There, first to 1428 01:14:34,080 --> 01:14:36,320 Speaker 1: the fight. They don't back down from anything. We were 1429 01:14:36,320 --> 01:14:38,000 Speaker 1: talking about which teams are gonna get shut out of 1430 01:14:38,040 --> 01:14:40,120 Speaker 1: the playoffs. I was getting reminded here and I think this. 1431 01:14:40,360 --> 01:14:42,320 Speaker 1: I don't know, I'm not fact checking this, but I 1432 01:14:42,320 --> 01:14:44,040 Speaker 1: think he might be right. It kind of rings a bell. 1433 01:14:44,080 --> 01:14:46,639 Speaker 1: But then the two thousand and eight Patriots win eleven 1434 01:14:46,640 --> 01:14:48,919 Speaker 1: and five and didn't get into the playoffs. Is that true? 1435 01:14:49,560 --> 01:14:52,519 Speaker 1: The two thousand and eight Patriots, Yeah, that was the 1436 01:14:52,640 --> 01:14:54,640 Speaker 1: Matt Was that the Matt Castle year. That was the 1437 01:14:54,720 --> 01:14:57,920 Speaker 1: year they lost the division on tiebreaker to Miami. It's 1438 01:14:58,000 --> 01:15:00,080 Speaker 1: the only year they did not win the division in 1439 01:15:00,560 --> 01:15:04,200 Speaker 1: the last nineteen eighty five the Broncos got shut out 1440 01:15:04,320 --> 01:15:06,880 Speaker 1: and that was when it was Well, you mentioned the 1441 01:15:06,920 --> 01:15:09,160 Speaker 1: Broncos team yesterday, the second team as the eighty five 1442 01:15:09,200 --> 01:15:11,599 Speaker 1: Broncos went to it, and that was a sixteen game schedule. 1443 01:15:11,640 --> 01:15:13,920 Speaker 1: Since the sixteen game schedule, only two teams have been 1444 01:15:13,960 --> 01:15:16,479 Speaker 1: shut out in eleven with eleven wins. Right, And that's 1445 01:15:16,479 --> 01:15:19,240 Speaker 1: why I agree with Kyle. I think you could very well, 1446 01:15:19,360 --> 01:15:22,920 Speaker 1: Steve see three teams from the AFC North in the 1447 01:15:22,920 --> 01:15:26,400 Speaker 1: playoffs now, I mean with the seventh playoff team now 1448 01:15:26,439 --> 01:15:29,479 Speaker 1: in the conference, I think have three teams anyway, three 1449 01:15:29,520 --> 01:15:32,040 Speaker 1: teams from the AFC North could very well be in 1450 01:15:32,080 --> 01:15:34,320 Speaker 1: the playoffs this year, and as Kyle said, that would 1451 01:15:34,320 --> 01:15:37,439 Speaker 1: mean inevitably the Bills would be facing one of those 1452 01:15:37,479 --> 01:15:39,759 Speaker 1: two teams you know, in the wild card round because 1453 01:15:40,160 --> 01:15:41,920 Speaker 1: only one of them can win the division. Right It's 1454 01:15:42,080 --> 01:15:43,600 Speaker 1: I mean there's a slight chance they could lose a 1455 01:15:43,640 --> 01:15:46,280 Speaker 1: tie break and you'd get a Tennessee team, Yeah, somebody 1456 01:15:46,320 --> 01:15:49,519 Speaker 1: like that. But Tennessee is probably winning the AFC South. 1457 01:15:49,560 --> 01:15:52,320 Speaker 1: They're probably the division winner there. If it's the it 1458 01:15:52,320 --> 01:15:57,280 Speaker 1: depends on who the third. It's basically Indianapolis is probably 1459 01:15:57,280 --> 01:16:00,160 Speaker 1: the other player that's there. You're assuming Tennessee win the 1460 01:16:00,200 --> 01:16:03,000 Speaker 1: AFC South, So that means the Culture probably the other 1461 01:16:03,120 --> 01:16:06,799 Speaker 1: wild card consideration those AFC North teams, Right, it depends 1462 01:16:06,840 --> 01:16:10,320 Speaker 1: whether the Colts are the six or the seven seed. 1463 01:16:10,320 --> 01:16:12,400 Speaker 1: In Baltimore's the seven or the sixth seed. And then 1464 01:16:12,400 --> 01:16:14,080 Speaker 1: if you're the two or the three seed, depending on 1465 01:16:14,120 --> 01:16:16,720 Speaker 1: where Buffalo falls, either get Indianapolis or one of the 1466 01:16:16,840 --> 01:16:20,080 Speaker 1: NFC AFC North teams. Yeah, break time for us. When 1467 01:16:20,080 --> 01:16:22,920 Speaker 1: we return, we will get onto the tweet sheet as 1468 01:16:23,200 --> 01:16:26,200 Speaker 1: we are asking you about Josh Allen and where his 1469 01:16:26,360 --> 01:16:28,200 Speaker 1: career is headed. Is it just the tip of the 1470 01:16:28,200 --> 01:16:30,960 Speaker 1: iceberg and the sky is the limit with his play? 1471 01:16:31,400 --> 01:16:33,919 Speaker 1: Is there still room for growth to reach the NFL's 1472 01:16:33,920 --> 01:16:36,720 Speaker 1: elite or what do you want? What we're getting right 1473 01:16:36,760 --> 01:16:38,920 Speaker 1: now is good enough? Let us know where you stand 1474 01:16:38,960 --> 01:16:40,960 Speaker 1: on that at one Bills Live on the tweet sheet, 1475 01:16:41,000 --> 01:16:42,920 Speaker 1: or give us a call eight O three five fifty 1476 01:16:43,160 --> 01:16:45,000 Speaker 1: Steve Task or Chris Brown Back in a moment here 1477 01:16:45,000 --> 01:16:47,000 Speaker 1: on one Bills Live presented by Kalid to Health, It's 1478 01:16:47,040 --> 01:17:03,719 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills Radio Died for Reads Jen's Milestones, Reads Jen's 1479 01:17:03,760 --> 01:17:06,639 Speaker 1: the official jeweler of the Buffalo Bills. Bill's quarterback Josh 1480 01:17:06,680 --> 01:17:10,040 Speaker 1: Allen's accounted for thirty five total touchdowns this season twenty 1481 01:17:10,040 --> 01:17:12,960 Speaker 1: eight passing, six, rushing one receiving, so the most ever 1482 01:17:13,000 --> 01:17:16,200 Speaker 1: by a quarterback in Bill's history, surpassing Paul of Fame 1483 01:17:16,320 --> 01:17:18,720 Speaker 1: quarterback Jim Kelly's old team record of thirty four in 1484 01:17:18,840 --> 01:17:21,080 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety one. We went over that with Jim earlier 1485 01:17:21,080 --> 01:17:24,880 Speaker 1: in the show. Allen's passer rating right now of one 1486 01:17:25,120 --> 01:17:29,360 Speaker 1: oh three point three is also a Bill's record if 1487 01:17:29,360 --> 01:17:31,559 Speaker 1: it stands and holds till the end of the season, 1488 01:17:31,800 --> 01:17:34,160 Speaker 1: because it would make him one of only two quarterbacks 1489 01:17:34,160 --> 01:17:36,800 Speaker 1: in team history to have a passer rating over one 1490 01:17:36,880 --> 01:17:40,360 Speaker 1: hundred for a single season. Jim Kelly is the only 1491 01:17:40,360 --> 01:17:42,519 Speaker 1: holder of that back in nineteen ninety with a mark 1492 01:17:42,560 --> 01:17:46,680 Speaker 1: of one oh one point two. Brownie, let me tell 1493 01:17:46,680 --> 01:17:49,960 Speaker 1: you something. Well, I've been watching Josh and all that, 1494 01:17:50,040 --> 01:17:55,719 Speaker 1: and I was there firsthand with Jim in ninety ninety one. Jim, 1495 01:17:57,040 --> 01:17:59,519 Speaker 1: he's freaking unbelievable. He was lighting it up. He was 1496 01:17:59,640 --> 01:18:03,479 Speaker 1: unbel believable. And Josh is the same, he's lightening it up. 1497 01:18:04,479 --> 01:18:07,880 Speaker 1: Did give you give Josh this healthy team and some 1498 01:18:08,000 --> 01:18:11,759 Speaker 1: pass protection. I don't care if he hands it off once. 1499 01:18:12,640 --> 01:18:14,640 Speaker 1: You can't stop those guys. We kind of saw that 1500 01:18:14,840 --> 01:18:18,280 Speaker 1: in the San Francisco game. I mean, it's just pitch 1501 01:18:18,320 --> 01:18:24,720 Speaker 1: and catch. It's I mean, it's you can about I 1502 01:18:24,760 --> 01:18:27,120 Speaker 1: get it. You can talk about that. Two games with 1503 01:18:27,200 --> 01:18:30,040 Speaker 1: eighty percent completion, Just about that. You go back and 1504 01:18:30,520 --> 01:18:34,800 Speaker 1: have you ever seen eighty in a game? Like, yeah, 1505 01:18:34,800 --> 01:18:37,600 Speaker 1: it happens, but but yeah, you start to get like 1506 01:18:38,439 --> 01:18:42,639 Speaker 1: he never missed this defense with the four wide set, 1507 01:18:43,479 --> 01:18:46,559 Speaker 1: that's completely different, but it's the same feel when those 1508 01:18:46,600 --> 01:18:48,400 Speaker 1: four guys go out there, where you get John Brown 1509 01:18:48,439 --> 01:18:50,720 Speaker 1: out there healthy and Gabe Davis out there with with 1510 01:18:51,080 --> 01:18:53,640 Speaker 1: single Tarry or Moss or even a tight end in 1511 01:18:53,680 --> 01:18:57,360 Speaker 1: the backfield with John whoever, you pick it, all of 1512 01:18:57,400 --> 01:19:01,240 Speaker 1: a sudden, it's like beep, did he bop? Did he boop? 1513 01:19:01,360 --> 01:19:03,400 Speaker 1: This is like it's just it has the same effect 1514 01:19:03,439 --> 01:19:06,559 Speaker 1: as a no huddle. Did It's the same effect as 1515 01:19:06,560 --> 01:19:09,360 Speaker 1: a no huddle. They just start carving people up. And 1516 01:19:09,520 --> 01:19:13,320 Speaker 1: that's why I kind of agree with Kyle Brandt. I 1517 01:19:13,439 --> 01:19:16,599 Speaker 1: know that Vic Fangio is a very accomplished defensive coordinator, 1518 01:19:16,640 --> 01:19:18,360 Speaker 1: and I'm sure there are going to be some plays 1519 01:19:18,840 --> 01:19:21,519 Speaker 1: where he has Josh a little crossed up because he's 1520 01:19:21,560 --> 01:19:24,200 Speaker 1: good at that. He is good at that with scheme 1521 01:19:24,240 --> 01:19:28,120 Speaker 1: and whatnot. But the bottom line is this. They've lost 1522 01:19:28,200 --> 01:19:31,520 Speaker 1: five cornerbacks in the last three weeks, one to suspension, 1523 01:19:32,240 --> 01:19:35,679 Speaker 1: four others to injury. They're pulling guys off the street, 1524 01:19:36,040 --> 01:19:39,600 Speaker 1: off of other teams practice squads to play, not to 1525 01:19:39,680 --> 01:19:44,719 Speaker 1: be on the roster for depth, to play. If John 1526 01:19:44,760 --> 01:19:47,280 Speaker 1: Brown is healthy this week and he is in the lineup, 1527 01:19:48,280 --> 01:19:52,960 Speaker 1: they're going four wide all day long, all day long. 1528 01:19:53,560 --> 01:20:00,880 Speaker 1: Why wouldn't you, right, Why wouldn't you all day goes only? 1529 01:20:01,120 --> 01:20:03,439 Speaker 1: If that that's the case that their secondary is truly 1530 01:20:03,479 --> 01:20:06,960 Speaker 1: that that hobbled, which appears it is their only hope 1531 01:20:07,200 --> 01:20:11,080 Speaker 1: is is the guy's up front rushing the passer. Yeah, 1532 01:20:11,120 --> 01:20:15,439 Speaker 1: and you don't have Von Miller, Um, Jarrell Casey's out 1533 01:20:15,479 --> 01:20:19,000 Speaker 1: for the season. They are a hobbled group. You want 1534 01:20:19,000 --> 01:20:23,519 Speaker 1: to go, Yes, that's that's your main concern. I think. 1535 01:20:23,600 --> 01:20:26,639 Speaker 1: I mean, I think Shelby Harris is on the COVID list. 1536 01:20:27,280 --> 01:20:29,439 Speaker 1: Who's another real I really think a lot of him. 1537 01:20:29,439 --> 01:20:32,519 Speaker 1: He's a good defensive tackle. Um, we'll have to check. 1538 01:20:32,600 --> 01:20:36,320 Speaker 1: But the Denver Broncos, you know, as much as San 1539 01:20:36,360 --> 01:20:38,599 Speaker 1: franc gets a lot of pub for all the injuries 1540 01:20:38,640 --> 01:20:40,639 Speaker 1: that they have had, and they and they've had him, 1541 01:20:40,680 --> 01:20:42,360 Speaker 1: don't get me wrong. I mean they practically have an 1542 01:20:42,360 --> 01:20:45,880 Speaker 1: all Star team on injured reserve, Denver is not that 1543 01:20:45,920 --> 01:20:49,320 Speaker 1: far behind him. They have been and it's been steady 1544 01:20:49,640 --> 01:20:53,000 Speaker 1: from the beginning of the year. You know, Von Miller 1545 01:20:53,120 --> 01:20:55,920 Speaker 1: right before the season, who may come back for the 1546 01:20:55,960 --> 01:20:57,439 Speaker 1: last couple of games. He's not going to come back 1547 01:20:57,479 --> 01:21:00,439 Speaker 1: this week. He's walking again, I guess, and jogging and whatnot, 1548 01:21:00,439 --> 01:21:03,559 Speaker 1: but he's not. Its COVID side effects, well that's part 1549 01:21:03,560 --> 01:21:08,400 Speaker 1: of it, yes, Um, But yeah, he Uh, they've got 1550 01:21:08,400 --> 01:21:12,160 Speaker 1: a laundry list of injuries. I mean it's long and 1551 01:21:12,160 --> 01:21:15,000 Speaker 1: and now you know you get you get aj buoy suspended. 1552 01:21:15,040 --> 01:21:18,919 Speaker 1: Booye suspended for six games for repeated defense of Substance 1553 01:21:18,920 --> 01:21:23,360 Speaker 1: Abuse Policy PDS or whatever. And it's just like man alive, 1554 01:21:23,479 --> 01:21:25,519 Speaker 1: Like they don't have any But they lost two more 1555 01:21:25,560 --> 01:21:28,120 Speaker 1: guys last week in the win for the rest of 1556 01:21:28,120 --> 01:21:34,400 Speaker 1: the season, both cornerbacks. They don't have anybody, so spread 1557 01:21:34,439 --> 01:21:37,639 Speaker 1: them out and let's go. I mean, yeah, Kyle said, 1558 01:21:37,680 --> 01:21:41,240 Speaker 1: thirty to thirteen. I think that's possible. The only way 1559 01:21:41,280 --> 01:21:44,720 Speaker 1: it's not is if Buffalo's defense doesn't play the way 1560 01:21:44,760 --> 01:21:47,080 Speaker 1: they've played the last five or six weeks. Drew Locke 1561 01:21:47,080 --> 01:21:51,080 Speaker 1: played twenty one to twenty seven, two eighty and four touchdowns. 1562 01:21:51,160 --> 01:21:53,680 Speaker 1: He lit them up, and he was he was using that. 1563 01:21:53,840 --> 01:21:56,200 Speaker 1: They said the biggest difference in his game last week 1564 01:21:56,680 --> 01:21:59,799 Speaker 1: as opposed to previous starts was he was more willing 1565 01:22:00,120 --> 01:22:02,840 Speaker 1: to take the checkdowns. He took the checkdowns, kept his 1566 01:22:02,880 --> 01:22:06,040 Speaker 1: offense on schedule, and they made plays. And that was 1567 01:22:06,080 --> 01:22:08,280 Speaker 1: without no offense in the lineup last week. He's expected 1568 01:22:08,320 --> 01:22:10,000 Speaker 1: to be back there tight end and they beat and 1569 01:22:10,040 --> 01:22:14,120 Speaker 1: they beat the Carolina Panthers, who've well, I've lost seven 1570 01:22:14,280 --> 01:22:19,000 Speaker 1: straight after going start. They're a rough stretch here. All right, 1571 01:22:19,040 --> 01:22:20,680 Speaker 1: let's go to the tweet sheet, brought to you by 1572 01:22:20,720 --> 01:22:24,240 Speaker 1: Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment moving company of the 1573 01:22:24,240 --> 01:22:27,360 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. As we're asking you, has Josh Allen reached 1574 01:22:27,400 --> 01:22:30,120 Speaker 1: his full potential? There were choices there where you can 1575 01:22:30,200 --> 01:22:32,880 Speaker 1: kind of pick the different places where you believe his 1576 01:22:32,960 --> 01:22:36,080 Speaker 1: game is going. William starts us off with are you 1577 01:22:36,160 --> 01:22:38,840 Speaker 1: kidding me? It's the tip of the iceberg. Look at 1578 01:22:38,880 --> 01:22:41,400 Speaker 1: the huge improvement from year two to year three. If 1579 01:22:41,400 --> 01:22:43,519 Speaker 1: he keeps this up, just imagine what he looks like 1580 01:22:43,560 --> 01:22:46,479 Speaker 1: in year five, six, or seven. The sky is the 1581 01:22:46,600 --> 01:22:53,400 Speaker 1: limit with Josh Golden Cannon arm Allen. I think there 1582 01:22:53,479 --> 01:22:56,519 Speaker 1: is still ceiling. I do he can. I think he 1583 01:22:56,600 --> 01:23:01,960 Speaker 1: will get I'll tell you what though, Yes, everybody can 1584 01:23:01,960 --> 01:23:05,240 Speaker 1: get better. But we're not talking anything in the same 1585 01:23:05,240 --> 01:23:08,800 Speaker 1: conversation we were eighteen months ago. Well, right, I don't 1586 01:23:08,800 --> 01:23:11,599 Speaker 1: While I think he will improve, I think this will 1587 01:23:12,000 --> 01:23:15,160 Speaker 1: We will look back on his career and say year 1588 01:23:15,240 --> 01:23:18,799 Speaker 1: three was the year of his most extreme growth. Wouldn't 1589 01:23:18,800 --> 01:23:21,160 Speaker 1: you agree that's he's not gonna be able to do 1590 01:23:21,200 --> 01:23:23,760 Speaker 1: this again next year going to You're gonna remember his 1591 01:23:23,880 --> 01:23:26,200 Speaker 1: year three as the year he became who he is 1592 01:23:27,120 --> 01:23:29,800 Speaker 1: now going forward, his growth is gonna be all right. 1593 01:23:29,800 --> 01:23:32,519 Speaker 1: He's gonna cut out that, he's gonna cut out bad plays. 1594 01:23:32,840 --> 01:23:36,280 Speaker 1: He's gonna be at eighty percent or seventy percent more consistently. 1595 01:23:36,280 --> 01:23:38,280 Speaker 1: He's never gonna have these days or halves where he 1596 01:23:38,280 --> 01:23:41,960 Speaker 1: goes fifty eight percent, you know, or whatever he was 1597 01:23:42,160 --> 01:23:44,519 Speaker 1: this last first half of this game. Those will go 1598 01:23:44,600 --> 01:23:47,960 Speaker 1: away and he'll be more consistently up where we see 1599 01:23:48,000 --> 01:23:54,040 Speaker 1: him when he's playing well, and that's that's gonna be 1600 01:23:54,080 --> 01:23:56,439 Speaker 1: pretty good. Yeah, And I guess what I'm saying is 1601 01:23:57,800 --> 01:24:01,360 Speaker 1: this year we saw a giant, you know, ten percent 1602 01:24:01,439 --> 01:24:06,840 Speaker 1: jump in completion percentage, like a ten percent jump in 1603 01:24:06,880 --> 01:24:13,599 Speaker 1: touchdown percentage, you know, just obscene increases three to one, 1604 01:24:13,360 --> 01:24:16,520 Speaker 1: three three to one TD to touch to an interceptions 1605 01:24:16,600 --> 01:24:22,719 Speaker 1: ratio thrown for thirty six hundred plus yards already, he's 1606 01:24:22,840 --> 01:24:25,200 Speaker 1: gonna he's gonna throw for four thousand yards. Right, So 1607 01:24:25,439 --> 01:24:27,599 Speaker 1: what I guess what I'm saying is a long way 1608 01:24:27,640 --> 01:24:30,519 Speaker 1: of not explaining this well, but it's a long way 1609 01:24:30,520 --> 01:24:34,400 Speaker 1: of saying while I think he will improve in year four, 1610 01:24:34,479 --> 01:24:37,080 Speaker 1: in year five, in year six, I don't think we 1611 01:24:37,120 --> 01:24:40,760 Speaker 1: will see the dramatic leap in areas of his game 1612 01:24:40,840 --> 01:24:43,160 Speaker 1: like we saw this year. Ever, again there's no word, 1613 01:24:43,240 --> 01:24:45,240 Speaker 1: there's no word for him to go, I know, because 1614 01:24:45,400 --> 01:24:48,040 Speaker 1: if he makes a leap like this, next year he's 1615 01:24:48,040 --> 01:24:50,760 Speaker 1: completing eighty percent of his passes for the season, like, 1616 01:24:50,840 --> 01:24:54,000 Speaker 1: we're not gonna see that. I mean, he's good, he's 1617 01:24:54,040 --> 01:24:56,320 Speaker 1: really good, but he's not that. He's not playing against 1618 01:24:56,720 --> 01:24:58,599 Speaker 1: he's not playing in a vacuum here, and if he does, 1619 01:24:58,640 --> 01:25:01,000 Speaker 1: the other teams are on scholarship. If he has eighty 1620 01:25:01,040 --> 01:25:05,880 Speaker 1: percent completion percentage next year, I mean, yeah, I don't 1621 01:25:05,880 --> 01:25:08,160 Speaker 1: know what I'll do. There's no place to go. I mean, 1622 01:25:08,160 --> 01:25:10,040 Speaker 1: I mean, so that's what I'm saying. I think his 1623 01:25:10,120 --> 01:25:14,160 Speaker 1: improvements will be more of the refinement variety exactly, and 1624 01:25:14,640 --> 01:25:18,960 Speaker 1: less of the building block like my completion percentage is now, 1625 01:25:19,080 --> 01:25:21,479 Speaker 1: I'm a sixty eight percent passer. Now, I think his 1626 01:25:21,520 --> 01:25:24,880 Speaker 1: improvement would probably be more self perceived than for us 1627 01:25:24,880 --> 01:25:26,519 Speaker 1: to be able to observe it. It'll be easier for 1628 01:25:26,560 --> 01:25:28,439 Speaker 1: him and saying oh yeah, wow, okay, now I remember that. 1629 01:25:28,560 --> 01:25:30,080 Speaker 1: You know he's gonna say, oh yeah, I see this. 1630 01:25:30,160 --> 01:25:32,519 Speaker 1: I know that, I know that, oh yeah this It 1631 01:25:32,560 --> 01:25:35,640 Speaker 1: will all be wrote memory now and still wanced. It 1632 01:25:35,640 --> 01:25:38,320 Speaker 1: will be very nuance, very nuanced improvements, and he'll be 1633 01:25:38,360 --> 01:25:40,840 Speaker 1: able to tell it more so than we will. The 1634 01:25:40,880 --> 01:25:42,840 Speaker 1: game will be easier, it'll he'll look a lot more 1635 01:25:42,880 --> 01:25:44,840 Speaker 1: often like he did against the forty nine ers, when 1636 01:25:45,800 --> 01:25:49,320 Speaker 1: he looked like he was literally looked like a seven 1637 01:25:49,360 --> 01:25:53,840 Speaker 1: on seven drill. He was. He wasn't harried, he didn't 1638 01:25:53,840 --> 01:25:57,120 Speaker 1: look his feet were calm, his body language was calm. 1639 01:25:57,320 --> 01:25:59,880 Speaker 1: I mean he was really he looked like Aaron Rodger 1640 01:26:00,160 --> 01:26:02,800 Speaker 1: looks all the time, just like just like holding the ball, 1641 01:26:02,840 --> 01:26:06,160 Speaker 1: and he's like nonchalant out there and making these throws. 1642 01:26:07,680 --> 01:26:10,559 Speaker 1: It was unbelievable that game against the forty nine ers, 1643 01:26:10,600 --> 01:26:12,400 Speaker 1: and I think that was the spot where you got 1644 01:26:12,400 --> 01:26:14,800 Speaker 1: a glimpse into what you'd love him to look like 1645 01:26:14,880 --> 01:26:18,439 Speaker 1: all the time. And certainly the Niners had a good defense, 1646 01:26:18,560 --> 01:26:20,479 Speaker 1: but it was a different type of good defense when 1647 01:26:20,479 --> 01:26:22,360 Speaker 1: he met Pittsburgh, and I think they were more difficult 1648 01:26:22,360 --> 01:26:25,599 Speaker 1: for him to get a handle on. But it only 1649 01:26:25,640 --> 01:26:28,040 Speaker 1: took him a half to do it, and next time 1650 01:26:28,040 --> 01:26:31,360 Speaker 1: it'll take him maybe a quarter and a half, you know, 1651 01:26:31,400 --> 01:26:33,000 Speaker 1: a quarter and a half to do it. He'll get 1652 01:26:33,000 --> 01:26:35,960 Speaker 1: it before halftime or then before Elie actually did they 1653 01:26:36,040 --> 01:26:38,080 Speaker 1: got a field goal on it, you know, or next 1654 01:26:38,080 --> 01:26:39,760 Speaker 1: time or in the years to come. It'll only take 1655 01:26:39,840 --> 01:26:42,320 Speaker 1: him a half a series and a half to get 1656 01:26:42,320 --> 01:26:43,800 Speaker 1: a handle on it right, and then he's got he 1657 01:26:43,840 --> 01:26:45,800 Speaker 1: looks like he did in the second half. That's the 1658 01:26:45,880 --> 01:26:48,400 Speaker 1: kind of improvement we're seeing. We're gonna see, I think. 1659 01:26:49,280 --> 01:26:52,840 Speaker 1: But man, oh man, this leap that he's taken this year, 1660 01:26:53,120 --> 01:26:54,960 Speaker 1: We've heard it. It's all over the internet, you know. 1661 01:26:55,040 --> 01:26:57,680 Speaker 1: Ross Tucker has said it. Kyle Brandt says, we've never 1662 01:26:57,720 --> 01:27:00,040 Speaker 1: seen anything like We've never seen anything like it. And 1663 01:27:00,479 --> 01:27:03,680 Speaker 1: the other thing we've also heard from you know, analysts 1664 01:27:03,720 --> 01:27:06,080 Speaker 1: who know the game, you know, Dan Orlovsky, guys like that. 1665 01:27:06,120 --> 01:27:09,280 Speaker 1: They say he's only going to get better. But I agree, Steve. 1666 01:27:09,320 --> 01:27:11,080 Speaker 1: I think his improvements are going to be more of 1667 01:27:11,080 --> 01:27:15,839 Speaker 1: the refinement and nuanced variety going forward. He'll still improve 1668 01:27:15,920 --> 01:27:18,280 Speaker 1: and get better, but I think it'll be harder for 1669 01:27:18,400 --> 01:27:22,040 Speaker 1: the average or casual fan to discern because it won't 1670 01:27:22,080 --> 01:27:24,320 Speaker 1: be readily available on paper. It'll be like this is 1671 01:27:24,320 --> 01:27:26,840 Speaker 1: cover one Robber. I'm going here like he just knows 1672 01:27:27,400 --> 01:27:29,680 Speaker 1: what he's looking at every time he's out there and 1673 01:27:29,720 --> 01:27:32,160 Speaker 1: how to beat it. Break time for us. But when 1674 01:27:32,160 --> 01:27:34,280 Speaker 1: we come back, more of your comments on the tweet sheet, 1675 01:27:34,680 --> 01:27:38,840 Speaker 1: and we'll be getting to some sound from defensive coordinator 1676 01:27:38,960 --> 01:27:42,479 Speaker 1: Leslie Frazier, who had some interesting comments about the state 1677 01:27:42,479 --> 01:27:46,719 Speaker 1: of his defense, including future plans for Matt Milano going 1678 01:27:46,720 --> 01:27:48,760 Speaker 1: forward here the rest of the regular season. We'll get 1679 01:27:48,760 --> 01:27:51,280 Speaker 1: to all of that here soon. On One Bill's Line 1680 01:27:51,320 --> 01:28:06,280 Speaker 1: presented by Kalida Health, It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. Chris Brown, 1681 01:28:06,320 --> 01:28:10,120 Speaker 1: Steve Tasker One Bills Live blows an out hour number 1682 01:28:10,120 --> 01:28:12,080 Speaker 1: two here with some of your comments on the tweet sheet, 1683 01:28:12,120 --> 01:28:15,040 Speaker 1: brought to you by Corrigan Moving systems from Seth. When 1684 01:28:15,080 --> 01:28:18,240 Speaker 1: asked as Josh Allen reached its full potential, Seth says 1685 01:28:18,280 --> 01:28:22,479 Speaker 1: he's still not quite there, just behind Mahomes in terms 1686 01:28:22,479 --> 01:28:25,559 Speaker 1: of playmaking ability. Got to stop with the bogus picks 1687 01:28:25,560 --> 01:28:28,280 Speaker 1: and the occasional costly fumble. Once he can do that, 1688 01:28:28,400 --> 01:28:31,360 Speaker 1: he'll truly be elite. His comfort and his comfort and 1689 01:28:31,439 --> 01:28:35,479 Speaker 1: trust with the system and players around him is evident. 1690 01:28:36,640 --> 01:28:40,800 Speaker 1: What do you say to that one? Yeah, he's he's 1691 01:28:40,840 --> 01:28:43,760 Speaker 1: just a shade of scene. We have seen him be 1692 01:28:43,880 --> 01:28:48,400 Speaker 1: elite at stretches. And when you're talking about we're talking 1693 01:28:48,400 --> 01:28:52,520 Speaker 1: about MVP kind of quarterbacking, right, we're splitting Rodgers, Mahomes, 1694 01:28:52,600 --> 01:28:54,880 Speaker 1: and at times this year it has been Josh as 1695 01:28:54,880 --> 01:28:56,920 Speaker 1: well who's played as well or better than anybody in 1696 01:28:56,960 --> 01:28:59,360 Speaker 1: the league on certain weekends. He's the only guy in 1697 01:28:59,400 --> 01:29:01,439 Speaker 1: the league has been Offensive Player of the Week three 1698 01:29:01,439 --> 01:29:07,320 Speaker 1: times this season. He's played really well. And I think one, 1699 01:29:07,880 --> 01:29:09,479 Speaker 1: let's face it, I know this. We say this with 1700 01:29:09,520 --> 01:29:11,400 Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl UT balloting all the time, Like a 1701 01:29:11,400 --> 01:29:13,280 Speaker 1: guy like Tredavious White, he's got to have a good 1702 01:29:13,360 --> 01:29:15,040 Speaker 1: year and then back it up with a good year 1703 01:29:15,080 --> 01:29:17,800 Speaker 1: to go once. Yeah, And that's what you're talking about 1704 01:29:17,800 --> 01:29:20,760 Speaker 1: with Josh when he goes deep into these playoffs this year. 1705 01:29:21,680 --> 01:29:23,880 Speaker 1: And I'm saying, when when this team goes deep into 1706 01:29:23,880 --> 01:29:26,160 Speaker 1: the playoffs this year and then they back it up 1707 01:29:26,200 --> 01:29:30,400 Speaker 1: again and do it again, he is automatically in that conversation. 1708 01:29:31,880 --> 01:29:34,679 Speaker 1: It's hard to bust in on guys who've been doing 1709 01:29:34,720 --> 01:29:38,959 Speaker 1: it already, guys like Lamar Jackson, Pat Mahomes, Aaron Rodgers, 1710 01:29:39,920 --> 01:29:41,360 Speaker 1: and you can go, you can get down the list, 1711 01:29:43,040 --> 01:29:46,880 Speaker 1: guys like Roethlisberger and Philip Rivers and you know brute 1712 01:29:46,920 --> 01:29:50,759 Speaker 1: Drew Brees who's been injured. There's a lot of quarterbacks around, 1713 01:29:50,960 --> 01:29:53,479 Speaker 1: and you know Cam Newton. All these guys that are 1714 01:29:53,479 --> 01:29:58,120 Speaker 1: in there have done this before. And to bust in 1715 01:29:58,160 --> 01:30:02,960 Speaker 1: on that conversation, you kind of forget how much history 1716 01:30:03,000 --> 01:30:09,000 Speaker 1: those guys had before they got in. Mahomes may be 1717 01:30:09,120 --> 01:30:13,320 Speaker 1: the exception, and Lamar Jackson's kind of the exception the 1718 01:30:13,400 --> 01:30:15,880 Speaker 1: last two guys. Well, what about this though, wouldn't you 1719 01:30:15,960 --> 01:30:20,599 Speaker 1: say that Lamar Jackson is closer to the peak of 1720 01:30:20,640 --> 01:30:23,120 Speaker 1: what he is as a quarterback in this league than 1721 01:30:23,240 --> 01:30:28,880 Speaker 1: Josh Um. That's well, no, I wouldn't because if if 1722 01:30:28,960 --> 01:30:30,800 Speaker 1: Lamar wants to take another step, it's right there to 1723 01:30:30,800 --> 01:30:33,080 Speaker 1: do it all. He's got to become a drop back passer. 1724 01:30:33,320 --> 01:30:35,280 Speaker 1: He's gotta be able to throw outside the numbers. He's 1725 01:30:35,280 --> 01:30:37,640 Speaker 1: got assistance. Yeah, his passing game has got along with 1726 01:30:37,800 --> 01:30:39,920 Speaker 1: his passing game is nowhere near what Josh Allen's is 1727 01:30:39,960 --> 01:30:44,840 Speaker 1: not even close. But there, Well, that's a I don't 1728 01:30:44,960 --> 01:30:46,840 Speaker 1: that's a question. We don't know. We don't know about 1729 01:30:46,920 --> 01:30:49,800 Speaker 1: Josh getting any better. Well, you can conject if it's 1730 01:30:49,880 --> 01:30:53,280 Speaker 1: there for him to do that. Don't know if he's 1731 01:30:53,280 --> 01:30:57,599 Speaker 1: gonna hit there. Maybe not, Lamar, I'm talking maybe not. 1732 01:30:57,680 --> 01:30:59,640 Speaker 1: But what I'm saying is you can see all that 1733 01:30:59,760 --> 01:31:02,280 Speaker 1: room for him to improve. Hey, what are you talking about, 1734 01:31:02,360 --> 01:31:08,200 Speaker 1: Josh improvement? The guys like running for touchdowns and he's 1735 01:31:08,640 --> 01:31:11,360 Speaker 1: tops in the league in passing. Yeah, he's a top 1736 01:31:11,400 --> 01:31:16,240 Speaker 1: six passing quarterback and he's known as a runner. Well. 1737 01:31:16,280 --> 01:31:18,720 Speaker 1: The reason I say that is because year one is 1738 01:31:18,760 --> 01:31:22,080 Speaker 1: a rookie. Lamar comes in late in the season, he 1739 01:31:22,439 --> 01:31:24,360 Speaker 1: plays in he has to play in a playoff game 1740 01:31:25,000 --> 01:31:28,599 Speaker 1: for them, and it's his passing is just not there. 1741 01:31:29,640 --> 01:31:33,400 Speaker 1: The next year, Greg Roman completely revamps the offense and 1742 01:31:33,479 --> 01:31:37,639 Speaker 1: between the numbers, he's a good passer. Cannot throw outside 1743 01:31:37,640 --> 01:31:40,839 Speaker 1: the numbers to save his life. Come into year three 1744 01:31:41,000 --> 01:31:43,800 Speaker 1: this year, he still can't do that. The book is 1745 01:31:43,800 --> 01:31:46,519 Speaker 1: out on Lamar Jackson and it's part of the reason 1746 01:31:46,560 --> 01:31:49,719 Speaker 1: that he struggled. It's also because they traded their third 1747 01:31:49,720 --> 01:31:52,920 Speaker 1: tight end to the Atlanta Falcons and kind of compromised 1748 01:31:53,160 --> 01:31:58,960 Speaker 1: what the system was. But they beg him to throw 1749 01:31:59,000 --> 01:32:02,360 Speaker 1: outside the numbers every single week, and he has yet 1750 01:32:02,400 --> 01:32:04,360 Speaker 1: to prove that. He can do it with any measure 1751 01:32:04,360 --> 01:32:08,040 Speaker 1: of consistency. And so I look at that, and I 1752 01:32:08,080 --> 01:32:10,720 Speaker 1: look at how Josh has improved his game, and I 1753 01:32:10,760 --> 01:32:13,639 Speaker 1: think Josh has taken the greater leaps of improvement in 1754 01:32:13,720 --> 01:32:18,320 Speaker 1: his game. So it leaves me wondering, can Lamar get there? 1755 01:32:18,640 --> 01:32:20,559 Speaker 1: Or is he already what he's going to be in 1756 01:32:20,560 --> 01:32:22,680 Speaker 1: this league? Which is very good. I mean, hell, it 1757 01:32:22,680 --> 01:32:25,519 Speaker 1: earned him an MVP last year, and it maybe that 1758 01:32:25,640 --> 01:32:29,679 Speaker 1: is enough. But I wonder if, because you said it yourself, 1759 01:32:30,360 --> 01:32:33,320 Speaker 1: you can see the areas of Lamar's game that need improvement. 1760 01:32:33,880 --> 01:32:36,519 Speaker 1: I'm just not convinced he's going to get there. Well, 1761 01:32:36,560 --> 01:32:39,320 Speaker 1: I'm whether you're yeah, I get, and I get the point. 1762 01:32:40,200 --> 01:32:43,120 Speaker 1: The question is how confident is anybody that he'll ever 1763 01:32:43,160 --> 01:32:46,479 Speaker 1: get there? My point would be this, we don't have 1764 01:32:46,520 --> 01:32:48,599 Speaker 1: control of that. But if you're saying he's who's got 1765 01:32:48,600 --> 01:32:51,879 Speaker 1: the most room to improve, it's Lamar, yeah, not Josh 1766 01:32:51,920 --> 01:32:56,400 Speaker 1: because he's reached. Yeah, but it's because he's reached less 1767 01:32:56,400 --> 01:32:59,160 Speaker 1: of those things. And it leaves me wondering because we 1768 01:32:59,240 --> 01:33:01,200 Speaker 1: saw the jump for year one to year two for Josh. 1769 01:33:01,280 --> 01:33:02,760 Speaker 1: We saw the jump from year two to year three, 1770 01:33:02,800 --> 01:33:06,400 Speaker 1: which has been gigantic. We haven't seen those similar jumps 1771 01:33:06,400 --> 01:33:09,160 Speaker 1: in Lamar's game, right, I think Lamar has been Lamar, 1772 01:33:09,439 --> 01:33:11,400 Speaker 1: And I don't know. They're not asking him to they're 1773 01:33:11,439 --> 01:33:13,760 Speaker 1: not asking him to change, they're not asking him to grow. 1774 01:33:14,120 --> 01:33:15,960 Speaker 1: I don't know if they just want him to right 1775 01:33:16,160 --> 01:33:19,000 Speaker 1: they I mean, you watch that Cleveland game last night, 1776 01:33:19,000 --> 01:33:21,719 Speaker 1: and I'll say this and that just this, just didn't 1777 01:33:21,760 --> 01:33:26,360 Speaker 1: think about this. They're not even Patriots beat those guys. Yeah, 1778 01:33:26,360 --> 01:33:29,320 Speaker 1: and you know, and we've seen this. I'm for twenty 1779 01:33:29,400 --> 01:33:32,840 Speaker 1: years with Bill Belichick. You know the Patriots. Did you know? 1780 01:33:33,320 --> 01:33:35,960 Speaker 1: They just said, what, We're not gonna rush him. We're 1781 01:33:36,000 --> 01:33:37,880 Speaker 1: gonna let him stand in the pocket, and we're gonna 1782 01:33:37,920 --> 01:33:40,160 Speaker 1: force him to throw it. We're not gonna chase him, 1783 01:33:40,280 --> 01:33:41,960 Speaker 1: we're not gonna give him anywhere to run, and we're 1784 01:33:42,000 --> 01:33:44,479 Speaker 1: not gonna try and even scare him. We want him 1785 01:33:44,520 --> 01:33:47,479 Speaker 1: to throw the football. So he had to stand, he 1786 01:33:47,520 --> 01:33:49,120 Speaker 1: got to stand back there and throw it, and he 1787 01:33:49,240 --> 01:33:51,200 Speaker 1: was not up to it. But you get him out 1788 01:33:51,200 --> 01:33:53,240 Speaker 1: of the pocket where he's running around in space and 1789 01:33:53,240 --> 01:33:56,960 Speaker 1: stuff that you can't corral him. Right. So I guess 1790 01:33:57,000 --> 01:34:00,879 Speaker 1: my point there is there are clear weaknesses Lamar Jackson's 1791 01:34:00,920 --> 01:34:04,920 Speaker 1: game with where Josh has improved. I don't know that 1792 01:34:04,960 --> 01:34:07,880 Speaker 1: there are any weaknesses anymore, do you know what I'm saying? Yeah, Like, 1793 01:34:08,240 --> 01:34:11,120 Speaker 1: what are you game planning to get Josh to do? Now? 1794 01:34:11,520 --> 01:34:13,800 Speaker 1: You want to blitz him? I mean he's seventy one 1795 01:34:13,840 --> 01:34:17,240 Speaker 1: percent completion rate against the blitz. Can't blitz him? Okay, 1796 01:34:18,160 --> 01:34:20,040 Speaker 1: you want to play coverage and drop seven or eight, 1797 01:34:20,600 --> 01:34:22,160 Speaker 1: all right, you may have him for a little while. 1798 01:34:22,439 --> 01:34:25,120 Speaker 1: Second half of the game against the Steelers seventy percent completion. 1799 01:34:25,520 --> 01:34:28,400 Speaker 1: I mean, he figured it out. So tell me what 1800 01:34:28,439 --> 01:34:33,240 Speaker 1: you're doing with that guy. That's why I wonder, like, Lamar, 1801 01:34:33,280 --> 01:34:35,679 Speaker 1: you know what your weaknesses are, fix him so nobody 1802 01:34:35,720 --> 01:34:38,240 Speaker 1: can stop you, no matter what they throw at you. 1803 01:34:38,800 --> 01:34:40,599 Speaker 1: And we haven't seen that yet from Lamar, So I'm 1804 01:34:40,600 --> 01:34:42,479 Speaker 1: wondering if we're ever going to see it, I guess, 1805 01:34:42,560 --> 01:34:44,479 Speaker 1: is what I'm saying. But I'll say this, The thing 1806 01:34:44,479 --> 01:34:48,720 Speaker 1: that Lamar has is, you know, he's better at what 1807 01:34:48,960 --> 01:34:51,479 Speaker 1: he's good at than anybody else's that he's been. He's 1808 01:34:51,520 --> 01:34:55,000 Speaker 1: a fantastic talent and a very very good quarterback. You 1809 01:34:55,040 --> 01:34:58,200 Speaker 1: can win with Lamar as he is currently constituted. No 1810 01:34:58,360 --> 01:35:00,720 Speaker 1: question about it. And he's a clutch player too. I 1811 01:35:00,720 --> 01:35:03,200 Speaker 1: mean last night, he comes out of the locker room, 1812 01:35:03,200 --> 01:35:05,720 Speaker 1: he hasn't played for twenty minutes, fourth and five, and 1813 01:35:05,800 --> 01:35:08,240 Speaker 1: he throws a forty four yard touchdown pass on the 1814 01:35:08,320 --> 01:35:12,120 Speaker 1: run back across his body. I mean, that's stupid, But 1815 01:35:12,800 --> 01:35:14,720 Speaker 1: I don't know. I guess I'm just looking at I'm 1816 01:35:14,760 --> 01:35:18,479 Speaker 1: looking at Josh's improvements, and he's basically turned himself into 1817 01:35:18,520 --> 01:35:21,400 Speaker 1: a unicorn. Like you, there is nothing you can game 1818 01:35:21,479 --> 01:35:25,599 Speaker 1: plan to neutralize Josh anymore, you know, can't. Josh is 1819 01:35:25,720 --> 01:35:30,120 Speaker 1: the guy in from the past that he Josh reminds 1820 01:35:30,120 --> 01:35:37,200 Speaker 1: me of now, and there's really only one. It's John Elway. Yeah. 1821 01:35:37,280 --> 01:35:41,559 Speaker 1: John Elway was a big dude, and he had a big, big, 1822 01:35:41,920 --> 01:35:44,920 Speaker 1: big arm, rocket arm. He had an enormous arm, and 1823 01:35:45,040 --> 01:35:48,120 Speaker 1: he was a runner as well. Real athlete, a real athlete. 1824 01:35:48,760 --> 01:35:51,880 Speaker 1: And he stunk his first year and then he got better. 1825 01:35:51,920 --> 01:35:54,800 Speaker 1: Of course, he led the Denver Broncos to five Super Bowls. 1826 01:35:54,840 --> 01:35:56,680 Speaker 1: Finally was oo and three and then finally won his 1827 01:35:56,760 --> 01:36:03,680 Speaker 1: last two consecutively. That, to me is the template for 1828 01:36:03,760 --> 01:36:10,080 Speaker 1: what Josh Allen could be in the league now. John Elway, 1829 01:36:10,120 --> 01:36:12,679 Speaker 1: even at this advanced point in his life. Will probably 1830 01:36:12,720 --> 01:36:14,920 Speaker 1: go back and tell you if he'd had somebody other 1831 01:36:14,960 --> 01:36:17,120 Speaker 1: than the head coach he had, he might have been 1832 01:36:17,160 --> 01:36:19,320 Speaker 1: able to he might have been able to set offenses 1833 01:36:19,560 --> 01:36:23,280 Speaker 1: forward twenty years instead of living at having an offense. 1834 01:36:23,280 --> 01:36:25,600 Speaker 1: It was twenty years too early. And one of the 1835 01:36:25,640 --> 01:36:27,360 Speaker 1: best I've ever seen. In the two minute drill, He's 1836 01:36:27,400 --> 01:36:29,479 Speaker 1: one of the best I have ever seen. He is 1837 01:36:29,520 --> 01:36:33,240 Speaker 1: absolutely phenomenal. But that is the guy that I look 1838 01:36:33,280 --> 01:36:35,719 Speaker 1: at and say, you know, that's what Josh is like, Yeah, 1839 01:36:35,760 --> 01:36:37,800 Speaker 1: that's what Josh. I'm with you on that. And so 1840 01:36:38,000 --> 01:36:40,120 Speaker 1: is your good friend Biscuit, who said the same thing 1841 01:36:40,120 --> 01:36:42,360 Speaker 1: to Maddie and I on a Bill's Field Pass episode 1842 01:36:42,439 --> 01:36:44,920 Speaker 1: or this season. We asked him who does he remind 1843 01:36:44,920 --> 01:36:47,799 Speaker 1: you of from your playing days. It took him two seconds. 1844 01:36:47,840 --> 01:36:51,160 Speaker 1: He said, John Elway, Yeah, I remember. I was at 1845 01:36:51,160 --> 01:36:53,559 Speaker 1: a Pro Bowl one time. We had John Elway, Warren Moon, 1846 01:36:53,640 --> 01:36:57,200 Speaker 1: and Jim I think. I think that's and you go 1847 01:36:57,240 --> 01:36:59,479 Speaker 1: out there and watch those guys throw the football, all 1848 01:36:59,479 --> 01:37:05,040 Speaker 1: three of them. You're talking about the top one percent stuff, 1849 01:37:05,760 --> 01:37:08,240 Speaker 1: you know, you know how they talk about the one percent, right, 1850 01:37:08,360 --> 01:37:11,360 Speaker 1: those are the centers, you know. It was unbelievable to 1851 01:37:11,400 --> 01:37:14,000 Speaker 1: watch those guys slinging and you know, everybody, you just 1852 01:37:14,120 --> 01:37:16,200 Speaker 1: even the coaching staff, We're out there just looking at 1853 01:37:16,240 --> 01:37:18,400 Speaker 1: watching one guy take a rep, next guy take a rep, next, 1854 01:37:18,800 --> 01:37:21,080 Speaker 1: Like I ain't gonna do nothing. It was I at watch. 1855 01:37:21,320 --> 01:37:23,240 Speaker 1: So there are guys like that out there. Josh is 1856 01:37:23,280 --> 01:37:26,519 Speaker 1: one of them, and uh, I keep going back to 1857 01:37:26,560 --> 01:37:30,160 Speaker 1: it alway, is the one is the competiti break time 1858 01:37:30,160 --> 01:37:32,200 Speaker 1: for us when we come back. We're gonna listen in 1859 01:37:32,400 --> 01:37:35,040 Speaker 1: to some of the comments of Leslie Fraser about where 1860 01:37:35,040 --> 01:37:39,000 Speaker 1: this defense is headed, especially with Matt Milano's increased usage 1861 01:37:39,080 --> 01:37:41,400 Speaker 1: last week.

Will do that in the next segment as well. 1865 01:37:49,600 --> 01:37:55,200 Speaker 1: Sunday Night Football listed four players as MVP candidates for 1866 01:37:55,400 --> 01:37:58,400 Speaker 1: the league and I'm just gonna say this, I don't 1867 01:37:58,439 --> 01:38:01,479 Speaker 1: think Brian Greasy is sniff dring it me anymore. We'll 1868 01:38:01,479 --> 01:38:03,559 Speaker 1: be back with that here on One Bill's Live, presented 1869 01:38:03,560 --> 01:38:21,760 Speaker 1: by Brownio Bills Radio.

The Broncos secondary taking hit after hit. 1878 01:38:45,120 --> 01:38:48,799 Speaker 1: Cornerbacks Kevin Tolliver and Duke Dawson suffered season ending injuries 1879 01:38:48,800 --> 01:38:50,960 Speaker 1: and Sundays win over the Panthers, they will miss the 1880 01:38:51,000 --> 01:38:54,879 Speaker 1: remainder of the season. Denver already without a sang Bassie, 1881 01:38:55,080 --> 01:38:59,439 Speaker 1: aj Booyer and Bryce Callahan at the cornerback position.

They also recently signed Nate Hairston as a 1884 01:39:06,320 --> 01:39:09,639 Speaker 1: street free agent. A wild game in Monday Night Football 1885 01:39:09,760 --> 01:39:12,040 Speaker 1: last night, as the NFL put a rap on Week fourteen, 1886 01:39:12,360 --> 01:39:14,519 Speaker 1: The Bills needed the Ravens to lose to the Browns 1887 01:39:14,520 --> 01:39:17,839 Speaker 1: to clinch a playoff spot, but did not expect Lamar 1888 01:39:17,960 --> 01:39:20,719 Speaker 1: Jackson to have some heroics at the end of the game. 1889 01:39:20,800 --> 01:39:23,880 Speaker 1: He left the game with cramps, returned to lead Baltimore 1890 01:39:23,920 --> 01:39:26,479 Speaker 1: to a wild forty seven forty two win over Cleveland. 1891 01:39:26,840 --> 01:39:30,040 Speaker 1: Jackson showing off his MVP form rushing for one hundred 1892 01:39:30,040 --> 01:39:32,240 Speaker 1: and twenty four yards and two touchdowns.

So we've been talking for most of the 1933 01:41:52,520 --> 01:41:56,920 Speaker 1: show about how much more ceiling Josh Allen has left 1934 01:41:56,960 --> 01:41:59,840 Speaker 1: to reach, and it was it was about a week 1935 01:42:00,120 --> 01:42:04,360 Speaker 1: go on this very show where going into a Monday 1936 01:42:04,479 --> 01:42:06,880 Speaker 1: Night game a little over a week ago, where I 1937 01:42:06,920 --> 01:42:10,360 Speaker 1: asked Brian Greasy, who was on the ESPN Monday night 1938 01:42:10,360 --> 01:42:13,799 Speaker 1: football broadcasts as we know as an analyst, I asked him, 1939 01:42:13,960 --> 01:42:17,639 Speaker 1: Josh has a bunch of primetime games coming up, including 1940 01:42:17,640 --> 01:42:21,200 Speaker 1: the Monday night game that you're broadcasting. What would Josh 1941 01:42:21,320 --> 01:42:26,960 Speaker 1: have to do to get more league MVP consideration? And 1942 01:42:28,120 --> 01:42:33,479 Speaker 1: Brian Greasy snickered at the thought of Josh Allen being 1943 01:42:33,520 --> 01:42:36,080 Speaker 1: in the league MVP conversation. As he saw it, it 1944 01:42:36,160 --> 01:42:39,799 Speaker 1: was Pat Mahomes and everybody else, not even Aaron Rodgers. 1945 01:42:39,840 --> 01:42:42,040 Speaker 1: Pat Malomes even though Aaron Rodgers I believe he's leading 1946 01:42:42,040 --> 01:42:45,599 Speaker 1: the league in total touchdowns and then he went on 1947 01:42:45,640 --> 01:42:47,360 Speaker 1: to say like, oh, well, the bills would have to 1948 01:42:47,320 --> 01:42:49,800 Speaker 1: be on the table, and Josh would have to you know, 1949 01:42:50,200 --> 01:42:52,800 Speaker 1: be unbelievable and this and that. So right before the show, 1950 01:42:53,160 --> 01:42:55,960 Speaker 1: you know, I'm scrolling through Twitter as I met you 1951 01:42:56,080 --> 01:42:59,120 Speaker 1: to what you said. Now, our faithful listeners will understand 1952 01:42:59,160 --> 01:43:03,960 Speaker 1: that since Brian Greasy snickered at Chris Brown, Josh Allen 1953 01:43:04,000 --> 01:43:06,120 Speaker 1: has leaved the world on fire, we have not not 1954 01:43:06,280 --> 01:43:10,200 Speaker 1: heard about it every day because Brownie was hot over 1955 01:43:10,360 --> 01:43:13,040 Speaker 1: him snickering at the question, which I thought it was 1956 01:43:13,080 --> 01:43:15,400 Speaker 1: a perfectly legitimate question in the way, in light of 1957 01:43:15,400 --> 01:43:18,120 Speaker 1: how Josh is playing in light of today's events, I 1958 01:43:18,120 --> 01:43:20,519 Speaker 1: would say, yes, it wasn't going Now, go ahead with 1959 01:43:20,560 --> 01:43:23,120 Speaker 1: your story. So I'm scrolling through Twitter before the show 1960 01:43:23,200 --> 01:43:25,400 Speaker 1: just to make sure we're not missing any breaking news 1961 01:43:25,400 --> 01:43:26,920 Speaker 1: before we go on the air. You know, we're trying. 1962 01:43:26,920 --> 01:43:29,280 Speaker 1: We're information providers, so I'm trying to do my due 1963 01:43:29,280 --> 01:43:32,799 Speaker 1: diligence there before the show starts, and I come across 1964 01:43:33,000 --> 01:43:38,479 Speaker 1: a Sunday Night Football on NBC tweet that asks who 1965 01:43:38,560 --> 01:43:43,960 Speaker 1: will win MVP? And look you there, hook who's in 1966 01:43:44,000 --> 01:43:49,559 Speaker 1: the group with Patrick Mahomes and Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson. Well, 1967 01:43:49,600 --> 01:43:53,600 Speaker 1: I'll be damned, it's Josh Allen? Would you look at that? 1968 01:43:55,000 --> 01:43:57,360 Speaker 1: What'd you look at that? I think we should at 1969 01:43:57,439 --> 01:43:59,800 Speaker 1: Brian Greasy with this. I think I might do that. 1970 01:44:00,000 --> 01:44:03,720 Speaker 1: And there's another there's another Pro Football Focus. They have 1971 01:44:03,880 --> 01:44:06,679 Speaker 1: QB one. They always do this every week Week fifteen, 1972 01:44:06,880 --> 01:44:09,759 Speaker 1: and it's fantasy football. It's Pat Mahomes one. Aaron Rodgers 1973 01:44:09,800 --> 01:44:12,200 Speaker 1: to Josh Allen's number three quarterback in the NFL, to 1974 01:44:12,479 --> 01:44:15,160 Speaker 1: look at that? Who look at that? But you look 1975 01:44:15,200 --> 01:44:18,599 Speaker 1: at that? Maybe the question isn't so far fetched. Maybe 1976 01:44:18,600 --> 01:44:24,639 Speaker 1: it isn't ridiculous. Brian Greasy, So just thought that had 1977 01:44:24,680 --> 01:44:27,360 Speaker 1: to be mentioned there. So I'll leave that there. I 1978 01:44:27,479 --> 01:44:30,000 Speaker 1: won't I won't expand on it, elaborate on it anymore. 1979 01:44:30,040 --> 01:44:34,080 Speaker 1: I think the point has been made. So before we 1980 01:44:34,120 --> 01:44:36,400 Speaker 1: get back to your thoughts on the tweet sheet, which 1981 01:44:36,439 --> 01:44:39,439 Speaker 1: we will address here before we go to break again, 1982 01:44:39,960 --> 01:44:42,959 Speaker 1: I do want to bring about some of the comments 1983 01:44:42,960 --> 01:44:45,960 Speaker 1: that Leslie Frasier made in his press conference with the 1984 01:44:46,000 --> 01:44:48,599 Speaker 1: media yesterday. He does this every Monday, as we know, 1985 01:44:48,960 --> 01:44:52,840 Speaker 1: as does Brian Dable, as does coach McDermott, and so 1986 01:44:53,439 --> 01:44:56,639 Speaker 1: coach Frasier, and we'll do these in order because they're 1987 01:44:56,680 --> 01:45:01,880 Speaker 1: all pretty important. So coach Frasier was first asked about 1988 01:45:02,400 --> 01:45:06,000 Speaker 1: the ascent that we've seen this defense on As a collective, 1989 01:45:06,120 --> 01:45:08,320 Speaker 1: I think we would all agree Steve that you know, 1990 01:45:08,360 --> 01:45:11,160 Speaker 1: the defense is playing some of its best football of 1991 01:45:11,200 --> 01:45:14,559 Speaker 1: the season the last month month and a half. Better 1992 01:45:14,560 --> 01:45:18,479 Speaker 1: pass rush, better ability, taking the ball away, holding teams 1993 01:45:18,479 --> 01:45:21,320 Speaker 1: down on the scoreboard, all of that has kind of 1994 01:45:21,320 --> 01:45:25,559 Speaker 1: improved collectively amongst the group. So coach Fraser was asked 1995 01:45:26,080 --> 01:45:29,120 Speaker 1: why does he feel that is happening. Here's what he 1996 01:45:29,120 --> 01:45:33,559 Speaker 1: had to say, probably following the Casey game. I think 1997 01:45:33,560 --> 01:45:37,600 Speaker 1: our defense has just steadily improved in a number of 1998 01:45:37,640 --> 01:45:42,280 Speaker 1: different areas along the way. And and Loan, the emphasis 1999 01:45:42,400 --> 01:45:46,000 Speaker 1: we had early on was we wanted George to get 2000 01:45:46,040 --> 01:45:47,880 Speaker 1: better as the season went on. We really didn't want 2001 01:45:47,920 --> 01:45:50,599 Speaker 1: to look back and say we played our best football 2002 01:45:50,640 --> 01:45:54,160 Speaker 1: in September October. That was a goal to just improve 2003 01:45:54,240 --> 01:45:57,479 Speaker 1: it as the year went on. And that's what's happening. 2004 01:45:57,479 --> 01:46:00,280 Speaker 1: Our guys improving at the right time and what you 2005 01:46:00,280 --> 01:46:01,960 Speaker 1: need to be able to do in our league. You 2006 01:46:02,000 --> 01:46:05,799 Speaker 1: really want to be yo, go get into Yo. Plateau 2007 01:46:06,520 --> 01:46:09,519 Speaker 1: and Lake they summary and awe, and our guys are 2008 01:46:10,200 --> 01:46:13,719 Speaker 1: are really moving into right direction. So hard to argue 2009 01:46:13,760 --> 01:46:15,519 Speaker 1: with that. I mean, the way they've been playing of late. 2010 01:46:15,760 --> 01:46:20,000 Speaker 1: And I think the most interesting thing, Steve is this 2011 01:46:20,200 --> 01:46:23,360 Speaker 1: strikes me as a defense that is better because of 2012 01:46:23,439 --> 01:46:27,240 Speaker 1: the sum of its parts. It doesn't have a true 2013 01:46:28,320 --> 01:46:30,080 Speaker 1: It doesn't have a Bruce Smith, I guess is what 2014 01:46:30,200 --> 01:46:33,040 Speaker 1: I'm saying. Like, it's got a lot of very very 2015 01:46:33,120 --> 01:46:36,960 Speaker 1: good players, but it doesn't have as we've been talking about, 2016 01:46:37,080 --> 01:46:40,360 Speaker 1: doesn't have a one percenter. I mean, maybe it's Trudavious White. 2017 01:46:42,479 --> 01:46:44,519 Speaker 1: They got one all prom they had a couple of 2018 01:46:44,720 --> 01:46:46,640 Speaker 1: other guys with the ability to get there, are young 2019 01:46:46,720 --> 01:46:49,639 Speaker 1: players with the ability to get there. But it's probably 2020 01:46:49,640 --> 01:46:51,519 Speaker 1: going to the Pro Bowl this year. It's interesting to 2021 01:46:51,600 --> 01:46:54,240 Speaker 1: me because the question I would say, and I think 2022 01:46:54,360 --> 01:46:57,240 Speaker 1: most casual fans would have to Leslie Frasier, is Okay, 2023 01:46:57,280 --> 01:46:58,920 Speaker 1: so what are you doing? So it means you're not 2024 01:47:00,200 --> 01:47:01,880 Speaker 1: I mean, how is it that you think they're going 2025 01:47:01,960 --> 01:47:03,760 Speaker 1: to be playing better defense? Don't you want them to 2026 01:47:03,800 --> 01:47:08,920 Speaker 1: be playing their best all the time? And while that's true, 2027 01:47:09,120 --> 01:47:11,720 Speaker 1: I think what happens is and the way you get 2028 01:47:11,760 --> 01:47:15,120 Speaker 1: improvement is that more and more of the players that 2029 01:47:15,200 --> 01:47:18,200 Speaker 1: are on the field in the defense that is called 2030 01:47:18,840 --> 01:47:22,559 Speaker 1: understand more and more of what the defense is supposed 2031 01:47:22,640 --> 01:47:25,880 Speaker 1: to do against every formation and every personnel combination, every 2032 01:47:25,960 --> 01:47:30,280 Speaker 1: shift in motion. And once you understand it to that level, 2033 01:47:31,280 --> 01:47:37,320 Speaker 1: you're able to be more aggressive versus whatever offensive play 2034 01:47:37,439 --> 01:47:39,760 Speaker 1: is called. Whoever, whoever has the opportunity to do that 2035 01:47:39,880 --> 01:47:43,360 Speaker 1: can be more aggressive knowing that they're not risking giving 2036 01:47:43,479 --> 01:47:45,760 Speaker 1: up a big play. And when you can start to 2037 01:47:45,840 --> 01:47:50,800 Speaker 1: have more and more guys be aggressive rather than say, listen, 2038 01:47:50,840 --> 01:47:52,479 Speaker 1: this is my gap. I'm going to stay in this gap, 2039 01:47:52,800 --> 01:47:54,559 Speaker 1: and I want to get out of this gap because 2040 01:47:55,240 --> 01:47:57,240 Speaker 1: you know, I don't want to be the guy. But 2041 01:47:57,400 --> 01:47:58,920 Speaker 1: in the same token, if they said, well, if they're 2042 01:47:58,920 --> 01:48:03,880 Speaker 1: in this formation, are doing that, my gap is irrelevant 2043 01:48:03,960 --> 01:48:06,720 Speaker 1: now because of their shift in motion, I know they're 2044 01:48:06,760 --> 01:48:09,160 Speaker 1: not going to run this player or whatever. So I 2045 01:48:09,280 --> 01:48:11,560 Speaker 1: can be aggressive knowing that actually I got help on 2046 01:48:11,640 --> 01:48:13,800 Speaker 1: the outside, so I can knife in to make the play, 2047 01:48:14,040 --> 01:48:17,000 Speaker 1: knowing that my backside is protected and that if they 2048 01:48:17,040 --> 01:48:19,080 Speaker 1: are running that play, I got him in the backfield 2049 01:48:19,080 --> 01:48:21,840 Speaker 1: and if they're not, we are still covered on the 2050 01:48:21,920 --> 01:48:26,200 Speaker 1: out whatever. So the more the greater understanding each person 2051 01:48:26,320 --> 01:48:29,000 Speaker 1: in the defense has about what everybody else is doing 2052 01:48:30,360 --> 01:48:32,679 Speaker 1: makes your defense that's much more effective in the fact 2053 01:48:32,720 --> 01:48:36,840 Speaker 1: that it can play more aggressively in spots without giving 2054 01:48:36,960 --> 01:48:40,240 Speaker 1: up big plays. So that's kind of what you're saying, 2055 01:48:40,280 --> 01:48:41,800 Speaker 1: and that's why you know a lot of fans are 2056 01:48:41,840 --> 01:48:43,439 Speaker 1: gonna how you play your bet You want you play 2057 01:48:43,439 --> 01:48:45,599 Speaker 1: your best all the time. How are you gonna get better? 2058 01:48:45,600 --> 01:48:48,320 Speaker 1: You're gonna Are you gonna call a different defense? Yeah? 2059 01:48:48,320 --> 01:48:50,200 Speaker 1: Are you gonna call different defenses late in the year 2060 01:48:50,240 --> 01:48:51,680 Speaker 1: to make them play better? Why don't you call those 2061 01:48:51,720 --> 01:48:53,920 Speaker 1: early in the year and get those wins. That's not 2062 01:48:54,000 --> 01:48:56,720 Speaker 1: what he's talking about. You're talking about guys who know 2063 01:48:56,880 --> 01:48:59,240 Speaker 1: more and more and more and understand more and more 2064 01:48:59,240 --> 01:49:01,560 Speaker 1: and more about every everybody's job on the defense. And 2065 01:49:01,600 --> 01:49:03,040 Speaker 1: there was a lot that had to come together on 2066 01:49:03,120 --> 01:49:05,160 Speaker 1: that defensive line with all the turnover they had in 2067 01:49:05,280 --> 01:49:07,280 Speaker 1: terms of personnel, I mean they had five you have 2068 01:49:07,479 --> 01:49:10,599 Speaker 1: like nine defensive linemen on the roster. The only guys 2069 01:49:10,600 --> 01:49:14,000 Speaker 1: that were here last year from that group, Jerry Hughes, 2070 01:49:14,560 --> 01:49:19,880 Speaker 1: Bam Johnson, Harrison Phillips, Trent Murphy and Harrison didn't play 2071 01:49:19,880 --> 01:49:24,719 Speaker 1: all last year because new guys are Aj Vernon Butler, 2072 01:49:25,600 --> 01:49:31,840 Speaker 1: Mario Addison, I'm forgetting somebody. Oh you forgot Ed Oliver 2073 01:49:32,000 --> 01:49:33,960 Speaker 1: was in the last Josifer was it? Yes? Okay, So 2074 01:49:34,080 --> 01:49:36,240 Speaker 1: there's you got four new guys out of nine, right, 2075 01:49:36,400 --> 01:49:38,880 Speaker 1: and Harrison Phillips didn't play last year. And those four 2076 01:49:38,920 --> 01:49:42,559 Speaker 1: guys are playing a lot. I mean, Mario's playing a lot, 2077 01:49:42,840 --> 01:49:46,000 Speaker 1: Butler's playing a lot. I mean there's a lot of guys. 2078 01:49:46,160 --> 01:49:49,320 Speaker 1: So half of your group is new and you got 2079 01:49:49,360 --> 01:49:52,080 Speaker 1: a new D line coach. Was a lot to pull together, 2080 01:49:52,360 --> 01:49:55,240 Speaker 1: but I think we're seeing it come together. Oh and 2081 01:49:55,320 --> 01:49:57,679 Speaker 1: Quentin Jefferson, that was the other guy, and now there 2082 01:49:57,760 --> 01:50:00,479 Speaker 1: see all that coming together now. And yeah, there was 2083 01:50:00,520 --> 01:50:04,360 Speaker 1: a lot of comfort that was missing from these guys 2084 01:50:04,439 --> 01:50:08,040 Speaker 1: playing together and understanding what not only what they're supposed 2085 01:50:08,040 --> 01:50:11,080 Speaker 1: to do on every defense and running the techniques and 2086 01:50:11,120 --> 01:50:13,160 Speaker 1: playing it, but also understanding more and more about what 2087 01:50:13,200 --> 01:50:14,640 Speaker 1: the guys are around him are doing and getting he 2088 01:50:14,760 --> 01:50:17,120 Speaker 1: used to know what they're good at. So, yeah, there 2089 01:50:17,200 --> 01:50:19,280 Speaker 1: was a lot of growth to be had upfront, and 2090 01:50:19,360 --> 01:50:21,360 Speaker 1: it certainly showed in the beginning of the year. This 2091 01:50:21,439 --> 01:50:24,439 Speaker 1: was a completely different defense. Wasn't a top three deference 2092 01:50:24,479 --> 01:50:27,799 Speaker 1: at all at any point this season, and mostly because 2093 01:50:28,000 --> 01:50:30,559 Speaker 1: there were so many new faces up front. The other 2094 01:50:31,200 --> 01:50:36,640 Speaker 1: issue that coach Frasier addressed was the rotation at cornerback 2095 01:50:36,840 --> 01:50:40,680 Speaker 1: between Levi Wallace and Josh Norman through the course of 2096 01:50:40,760 --> 01:50:44,800 Speaker 1: the game against the Steelers Sunday night, and we saw 2097 01:50:45,000 --> 01:50:48,080 Speaker 1: that Levi redeemed himself in a big way after giving 2098 01:50:48,160 --> 01:50:49,800 Speaker 1: up a touchdown, he came back with a pick late 2099 01:50:49,840 --> 01:50:51,720 Speaker 1: in the game to kind of seal the victory. But 2100 01:50:51,880 --> 01:50:55,080 Speaker 1: coach Frasier was asked about the cornerback rotation between Levi 2101 01:50:55,240 --> 01:50:58,880 Speaker 1: Wallace and Josh Norman and whether it will continue. Here's 2102 01:50:58,880 --> 01:51:02,360 Speaker 1: what he said about that. We were evaluating things and 2103 01:51:02,439 --> 01:51:05,320 Speaker 1: trying to see what could best help our defense, what 2104 01:51:05,400 --> 01:51:09,799 Speaker 1: could best help Levi. Just realizing that Josh was finally healthy, 2105 01:51:09,960 --> 01:51:13,439 Speaker 1: you know, beyond the hamstrings, beyond the COVID. Let's give 2106 01:51:13,479 --> 01:51:15,679 Speaker 1: him a chance. Let him get out there and compete 2107 01:51:16,080 --> 01:51:18,360 Speaker 1: and just see how he does. And I think it 2108 01:51:18,479 --> 01:51:21,519 Speaker 1: helped both he and Levi and obviously helped our defense. 2109 01:51:21,640 --> 01:51:24,160 Speaker 1: And Levi ends up coming with coming up with one 2110 01:51:24,160 --> 01:51:26,240 Speaker 1: of the big plays of the game last night. So 2111 01:51:27,600 --> 01:51:29,080 Speaker 1: that was the thinking. They were just looking at what 2112 01:51:29,240 --> 01:51:32,559 Speaker 1: Josh was and what was going on with Levi really 2113 01:51:32,560 --> 01:51:36,000 Speaker 1: worked out whale force, So I would anticipate as well 2114 01:51:36,040 --> 01:51:38,200 Speaker 1: as it as well as coach Frazier saw at work 2115 01:51:38,320 --> 01:51:41,320 Speaker 1: or felt it worked, that's probably going to continue. And 2116 01:51:41,400 --> 01:51:43,160 Speaker 1: it's not all that different from what we saw last 2117 01:51:43,200 --> 01:51:45,960 Speaker 1: year between Levi and Kevin Johnson leaving the year right, 2118 01:51:46,080 --> 01:51:49,200 Speaker 1: and we talked Murphy and I talked about it when 2119 01:51:49,200 --> 01:51:50,840 Speaker 1: we have opportunity to talk about it at length on 2120 01:51:50,840 --> 01:51:56,280 Speaker 1: the broadcast, because every week they're not throwing it Tredavious, right, 2121 01:51:56,479 --> 01:51:59,479 Speaker 1: they're picking on Levi, they're throwing at his guy. They're 2122 01:51:59,600 --> 01:52:03,479 Speaker 1: dictated matchups for Levi Wallace because Tradevius has been playing 2123 01:52:03,560 --> 01:52:06,800 Speaker 1: so well. So we talk about it a lot, and 2124 01:52:07,680 --> 01:52:11,799 Speaker 1: you've got to really tip your hat to Levi Wallace 2125 01:52:11,920 --> 01:52:14,599 Speaker 1: for this reason. It's an undrafted rookie free agent who 2126 01:52:15,040 --> 01:52:18,720 Speaker 1: literally earned his way onto a starting spot on the 2127 01:52:18,760 --> 01:52:21,680 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's defense, and last year it was a top 2128 01:52:21,760 --> 01:52:25,320 Speaker 1: three defense in the league. This year, it's not last 2129 01:52:25,400 --> 01:52:27,160 Speaker 1: year they tried to This was two years ago he 2130 01:52:27,240 --> 01:52:28,800 Speaker 1: did it, and last year they tried to replace him 2131 01:52:28,800 --> 01:52:31,519 Speaker 1: with Kevin Johnson, a former first round draft pick, a 2132 01:52:31,560 --> 01:52:34,479 Speaker 1: guy who checks all the boxes physically. Kevin Johnson couldn't 2133 01:52:34,479 --> 01:52:36,720 Speaker 1: get him off the field. They rotated once in a while, 2134 01:52:36,840 --> 01:52:40,640 Speaker 1: but Levi is the guy. He come back. They try 2135 01:52:40,680 --> 01:52:42,800 Speaker 1: and replace him this year with a former great player 2136 01:52:42,840 --> 01:52:46,599 Speaker 1: in Josh Norman, can't get it done through an injury, 2137 01:52:46,640 --> 01:52:52,880 Speaker 1: in sickness or whatever. Levi Wallace is a battler, and 2138 01:52:53,520 --> 01:52:56,960 Speaker 1: certainly he's outmatched physically on a lot of occasions. But man, 2139 01:52:57,040 --> 01:53:01,559 Speaker 1: o man, you can't get him off the field. They've tried, 2140 01:53:02,160 --> 01:53:04,519 Speaker 1: and I get it now. He's opposite to Davious. He 2141 01:53:04,560 --> 01:53:06,479 Speaker 1: doesn't check all those physical boxes. You think, okay, we 2142 01:53:06,520 --> 01:53:08,479 Speaker 1: can get our guys mashed up, but man, old man, 2143 01:53:08,560 --> 01:53:10,120 Speaker 1: you've got to tip your hat. And the way he's 2144 01:53:10,120 --> 01:53:14,240 Speaker 1: battled and continued to hold down that cornerbacks the best 2145 01:53:14,280 --> 01:53:18,080 Speaker 1: way to describe Levi Wallace. He's a resourceful player. He 2146 01:53:18,240 --> 01:53:23,560 Speaker 1: doesn't have all of the god given elite skills that 2147 01:53:23,720 --> 01:53:26,760 Speaker 1: some of these high end guys have, but he makes 2148 01:53:26,800 --> 01:53:31,600 Speaker 1: it work. He is resourceful. Yeah. Last part that we 2149 01:53:31,680 --> 01:53:34,760 Speaker 1: wanted to get to you from Leslie Frasier was the 2150 01:53:35,000 --> 01:53:38,639 Speaker 1: spike in playing time for Matt Milano this past week. 2151 01:53:38,720 --> 01:53:40,880 Speaker 1: He went from about twenty nine to thirty percent of 2152 01:53:40,960 --> 01:53:45,200 Speaker 1: the snaps in his first game back against San fran 2153 01:53:45,880 --> 01:53:50,519 Speaker 1: to forty seven percent of the snaps in Sunday night's game. 2154 01:53:51,080 --> 01:53:54,800 Speaker 1: AJ Klein got fifty three percent, Milano forty seven percent. 2155 01:53:54,920 --> 01:53:57,439 Speaker 1: It is the most action that Matt Milano has probably 2156 01:53:57,520 --> 01:54:00,360 Speaker 1: seen since about week four or five of this season. 2157 01:54:00,800 --> 01:54:04,280 Speaker 1: And so coach Fraser was asked about Milano's increase in 2158 01:54:04,360 --> 01:54:08,519 Speaker 1: playing time and where it could be headed. It was 2159 01:54:08,680 --> 01:54:11,880 Speaker 1: good at to have him back again for you know, 2160 01:54:12,000 --> 01:54:14,759 Speaker 1: back to back games. You know, we were all hoping 2161 01:54:14,840 --> 01:54:17,599 Speaker 1: as the week went on that his confidence would continue 2162 01:54:17,600 --> 01:54:19,600 Speaker 1: to grow so we could give him more STAPs in 2163 01:54:19,640 --> 01:54:22,200 Speaker 1: this ball game last night, and based on the way 2164 01:54:22,240 --> 01:54:24,600 Speaker 1: he practiced and some of the feedback he was giving us, 2165 01:54:25,000 --> 01:54:26,920 Speaker 1: we wanted to give him some more staffs see how 2166 01:54:26,960 --> 01:54:29,760 Speaker 1: he respond and he had an impact. I mean, he 2167 01:54:30,439 --> 01:54:32,560 Speaker 1: had some some herds on the quarterbacks. That hits on 2168 01:54:32,600 --> 01:54:35,520 Speaker 1: the quarterback really did a number on their running backs 2169 01:54:35,560 --> 01:54:38,680 Speaker 1: when he was blitzing. So it was really really encouraging 2170 01:54:38,720 --> 01:54:41,120 Speaker 1: to have him back because he's one of those splash 2171 01:54:41,200 --> 01:54:44,600 Speaker 1: play type players who can make the big play for you. So, 2172 01:54:45,240 --> 01:54:47,160 Speaker 1: you know, we'll see how this week goes, we'll see 2173 01:54:47,160 --> 01:54:50,800 Speaker 1: how he responds and tomorrow when we come back to practice, 2174 01:54:51,280 --> 01:54:53,960 Speaker 1: and hopefully he has no ill effects from the game, 2175 01:54:54,400 --> 01:54:56,640 Speaker 1: and we can keep you know, up in his snaps 2176 01:54:56,640 --> 01:54:58,720 Speaker 1: a little bit because he definitely makes a difference for 2177 01:54:58,840 --> 01:55:01,360 Speaker 1: us when we have him on the field. Continue to 2178 01:55:01,600 --> 01:55:04,320 Speaker 1: up his snaps a little bit. Those are the direct 2179 01:55:04,360 --> 01:55:07,400 Speaker 1: words from coach Fraser. So if he comes in today 2180 01:55:08,080 --> 01:55:10,520 Speaker 1: and they've already done their walk through already. So if 2181 01:55:10,560 --> 01:55:14,160 Speaker 1: he came in today and he says, hey, I feel good, 2182 01:55:15,520 --> 01:55:17,800 Speaker 1: and he's out on the practice field tomorrow and he 2183 01:55:17,920 --> 01:55:21,440 Speaker 1: says I'm ready, that number is going to go up 2184 01:55:21,440 --> 01:55:25,360 Speaker 1: to sixty seventy percent snaps, I believe. And here's another thing. 2185 01:55:26,400 --> 01:55:29,280 Speaker 1: This guy has missed upwards of you know, four or 2186 01:55:29,320 --> 01:55:35,200 Speaker 1: five games this season. Somebodies are tired this time of year. 2187 01:55:35,960 --> 01:55:38,840 Speaker 1: This guy's got fresh legs. I mean he's running around 2188 01:55:38,880 --> 01:55:41,720 Speaker 1: out there on Sunday night. Did he look fresh to you? 2189 01:55:41,800 --> 01:55:44,080 Speaker 1: Because he looked fresh to me, like there was a 2190 01:55:44,200 --> 01:55:46,840 Speaker 1: spring in his step that nobody else had. And because 2191 01:55:46,880 --> 01:55:49,680 Speaker 1: he's only played seven or eight games, right, he's had 2192 01:55:49,720 --> 01:55:51,440 Speaker 1: a month and a half off, so or you know, 2193 01:55:51,480 --> 01:55:55,840 Speaker 1: six weeks off, it makes a difference, no question about it. 2194 01:55:57,240 --> 01:56:00,960 Speaker 1: I would wonder how he came out if he's limited, 2195 01:56:01,000 --> 01:56:03,920 Speaker 1: if he has been limited with his arm movement with 2196 01:56:04,040 --> 01:56:08,320 Speaker 1: because of his pectoral muscle, and what how he feels. 2197 01:56:08,960 --> 01:56:12,840 Speaker 1: If he came through that game unscathed, then yeah, I 2198 01:56:12,880 --> 01:56:15,240 Speaker 1: would say the sky's the limit for him. From here 2199 01:56:15,280 --> 01:56:18,920 Speaker 1: on it you can see the reverence that coach Frasier 2200 01:56:19,080 --> 01:56:22,000 Speaker 1: has for the kind of game that Matt Mlanno can 2201 01:56:22,080 --> 01:56:24,440 Speaker 1: play for him in this defense. There is a clear 2202 01:56:25,000 --> 01:56:28,440 Speaker 1: respect factor there, and if he knows he can have 2203 01:56:28,720 --> 01:56:32,440 Speaker 1: Matt Mulano for seventy five percent of the snaps, he 2204 01:56:32,720 --> 01:56:36,200 Speaker 1: is unquestionably putting him out there for every single one 2205 01:56:36,240 --> 01:56:39,120 Speaker 1: of them because he has seen the impact that can 2206 01:56:39,440 --> 01:56:41,040 Speaker 1: think up in the scope of this defense. There is 2207 01:56:41,080 --> 01:56:45,880 Speaker 1: playmaking ability and athleticism there that is not common across 2208 01:56:45,960 --> 01:56:47,760 Speaker 1: the league. He's a good blitzer, as you saw there 2209 01:56:47,800 --> 01:56:50,400 Speaker 1: he sacked Rothisbury the enforced what I thought was a 2210 01:56:50,480 --> 01:56:53,000 Speaker 1: fumble at the time, but he got He's a good 2211 01:56:53,040 --> 01:56:55,240 Speaker 1: blitzer and as you heard Leslie Frazier said, he does 2212 01:56:55,280 --> 01:56:56,880 Speaker 1: a number on those running backs when they come up 2213 01:56:56,880 --> 01:57:00,920 Speaker 1: to it is that's the least favorite thing running backs 2214 01:57:00,960 --> 01:57:02,920 Speaker 1: do is step up and take on a linebacker who's 2215 01:57:02,960 --> 01:57:06,320 Speaker 1: coming in to get the quarterback. He does that extremely well, 2216 01:57:06,400 --> 01:57:09,040 Speaker 1: and we've all seen him chase guys down. He's got 2217 01:57:09,120 --> 01:57:11,280 Speaker 1: great speed and covers tight ends. He's manned a man 2218 01:57:11,440 --> 01:57:13,960 Speaker 1: up on running backs and tight ends, so he can 2219 01:57:14,040 --> 01:57:17,160 Speaker 1: do all of that. We've seen him have interceptions, We've 2220 01:57:17,160 --> 01:57:19,080 Speaker 1: seen him do all of that stuff. So his ability 2221 01:57:19,120 --> 01:57:21,160 Speaker 1: to stay on the field and cover up one of 2222 01:57:21,200 --> 01:57:23,600 Speaker 1: their guys even if you zone it off, or if 2223 01:57:23,640 --> 01:57:25,360 Speaker 1: you man it up, or if you want him to blitz, 2224 01:57:26,080 --> 01:57:27,520 Speaker 1: he does all of that and he does at a 2225 01:57:27,640 --> 01:57:33,200 Speaker 1: high level. So that's huge for a for a defensive 2226 01:57:33,200 --> 01:57:35,600 Speaker 1: coordinator like Leslie Frasier, because you know, you don't have 2227 01:57:35,680 --> 01:57:36,960 Speaker 1: to like, all right, this time, we're gonna do this, 2228 01:57:37,000 --> 01:57:38,720 Speaker 1: so we're gonna put you in and we're gonna do 2229 01:57:38,760 --> 01:57:40,320 Speaker 1: it something different, so we're gonna put this other guy 2230 01:57:40,400 --> 01:57:44,960 Speaker 1: in so none of that has to take place. And 2231 01:57:45,160 --> 01:57:48,120 Speaker 1: I yeah, so you're right, you can hear Leslie Frasier 2232 01:57:48,960 --> 01:57:51,480 Speaker 1: feels like Matt Milana is a difference maker. Tell me this, 2233 01:57:51,680 --> 01:57:54,040 Speaker 1: I'm not going to pretend to know how you know 2234 01:57:54,120 --> 01:57:56,760 Speaker 1: a coordinator organizes his call sheet. I'm sure there are 2235 01:57:56,840 --> 01:57:59,680 Speaker 1: differing variations of how they put that together. But if 2236 01:57:59,720 --> 01:58:03,160 Speaker 1: he's going into a game knowing that Matt Milano and 2237 01:58:03,720 --> 01:58:07,720 Speaker 1: AJ Klein are essentially going to split snaps, does he 2238 01:58:07,880 --> 01:58:12,120 Speaker 1: have like a little rundown of calls he likes when 2239 01:58:12,160 --> 01:58:14,920 Speaker 1: Kline's in the lineup and calls he likes when Milano's 2240 01:58:14,920 --> 01:58:17,240 Speaker 1: in the lineup. He may not have him delineated that way, 2241 01:58:17,280 --> 01:58:20,480 Speaker 1: but I have to believe he knows this is a 2242 01:58:20,520 --> 01:58:22,520 Speaker 1: good call when I got aj the on the field. 2243 01:58:22,560 --> 01:58:23,880 Speaker 1: This is a good call when I have Milano on 2244 01:58:23,920 --> 01:58:26,720 Speaker 1: the field, I imagine. And I'm not saying anything against 2245 01:58:26,760 --> 01:58:28,560 Speaker 1: a J. Klein or anything. I just don't think he's 2246 01:58:28,600 --> 01:58:32,800 Speaker 1: as versatile as Milano. So I'm thinking there's probably the 2247 01:58:32,960 --> 01:58:35,880 Speaker 1: same list for Milano and AJ Klein, and Milano's list 2248 01:58:36,000 --> 01:58:38,520 Speaker 1: is longer. Gotcha, you know what I mean? Yeah, I 2249 01:58:38,680 --> 01:58:40,920 Speaker 1: was just curious more than anything else. I don't know, though, 2250 01:58:40,920 --> 01:58:43,600 Speaker 1: because I gotta believe that a coordinator knows. I mean, 2251 01:58:43,640 --> 01:58:45,879 Speaker 1: a coordinator's job is to know the strengths of his players, 2252 01:58:46,400 --> 01:58:49,280 Speaker 1: so there are play calls that apply to those strengths naturally, 2253 01:58:49,920 --> 01:58:52,280 Speaker 1: and they will differ from one player to another depending 2254 01:58:52,320 --> 01:58:53,720 Speaker 1: on who he has on the field, So I have 2255 01:58:53,840 --> 01:58:56,040 Speaker 1: to believe there's got to be a list there. I 2256 01:58:56,120 --> 01:58:57,960 Speaker 1: think with Milano he could pretty much call anything you 2257 01:58:58,000 --> 01:59:00,760 Speaker 1: want that because of his versatility, and that's AJA, you 2258 01:59:00,840 --> 01:59:02,400 Speaker 1: might be a little bit more restricted. That's why I 2259 01:59:02,440 --> 01:59:04,600 Speaker 1: think they struggle with Aja early on. They didn't know, 2260 01:59:04,680 --> 01:59:06,080 Speaker 1: you know, they had him doing some stuff. We'll see 2261 01:59:06,120 --> 01:59:07,880 Speaker 1: if you can do this, that's what we had Milano doing. 2262 01:59:07,920 --> 01:59:10,640 Speaker 1: Maybe you can't do it. Okay, So they stopped having 2263 01:59:10,720 --> 01:59:13,600 Speaker 1: him do stuff like that and he got better, way better. 2264 01:59:13,960 --> 01:59:16,400 Speaker 1: They let him play to his strengths and the defense 2265 01:59:16,520 --> 01:59:18,720 Speaker 1: was better because of it.

So this week could be a big 2293 02:00:55,520 --> 02:00:59,520 Speaker 1: week because the Broncos are in a desperate situation at 2294 02:00:59,560 --> 02:01:02,200 Speaker 1: the corner position. They're gonna be throwing guys out there 2295 02:01:02,240 --> 02:01:04,080 Speaker 1: you've never even heard of, and maybe they haven't heard 2296 02:01:04,120 --> 02:01:10,400 Speaker 1: of either in the team picture. Yeah, yeah, you're one 2297 02:01:10,480 --> 02:01:13,520 Speaker 1: hundred percent right. But let's go back to the tweet sheet. 2298 02:01:13,560 --> 02:01:16,720 Speaker 1: Has Josh Allen reached his full possession potential? The question 2299 02:01:16,800 --> 02:01:19,680 Speaker 1: on the table, and we go to Chris next, who says, 2300 02:01:19,760 --> 02:01:21,520 Speaker 1: I don't think we've seen him play his best game 2301 02:01:21,640 --> 02:01:24,040 Speaker 1: just yet. The sky is definitely the limit for him. 2302 02:01:24,080 --> 02:01:26,640 Speaker 1: He will continue to get better and better as his 2303 02:01:26,760 --> 02:01:29,560 Speaker 1: career goes along. He has a real bright future ahead 2304 02:01:29,560 --> 02:01:32,160 Speaker 1: of him and I'm looking forward to witnessing it. Air 2305 02:01:32,240 --> 02:01:36,800 Speaker 1: it out Josh go Bills. Yeah, most people think he's 2306 02:01:37,480 --> 02:01:39,800 Speaker 1: got more sealing to reach, and I would agree with that, 2307 02:01:40,040 --> 02:01:42,320 Speaker 1: but you know, as you and I have discussed, we 2308 02:01:42,600 --> 02:01:45,840 Speaker 1: think it's more of the refinement and nuanced variety in 2309 02:01:45,960 --> 02:01:48,600 Speaker 1: terms of improvement going forward here. Because the big thing 2310 02:01:48,800 --> 02:01:50,160 Speaker 1: was is he going to be able to get his 2311 02:01:50,200 --> 02:01:53,040 Speaker 1: completion percentage up? Is his accuracy going to be more consistent? 2312 02:01:53,400 --> 02:01:56,520 Speaker 1: He's answered that and passed that test with flying colors 2313 02:01:56,960 --> 02:02:01,120 Speaker 1: by vaulting his completion percentage into the upper echelon of 2314 02:02:01,120 --> 02:02:04,160 Speaker 1: the league. It'll be interesting to see if there's any 2315 02:02:04,320 --> 02:02:09,880 Speaker 1: recoil from the twenty twenty COVID season with officiating and 2316 02:02:10,040 --> 02:02:13,680 Speaker 1: the way the league is administrator on the field, where 2317 02:02:13,800 --> 02:02:16,200 Speaker 1: you've got all these guys that have elevated their play 2318 02:02:16,960 --> 02:02:19,520 Speaker 1: and offenses were scoring at such a high clip during 2319 02:02:19,560 --> 02:02:22,080 Speaker 1: the early part of the season and no holding calls 2320 02:02:22,120 --> 02:02:23,760 Speaker 1: and all of that. Are we going to see a 2321 02:02:23,840 --> 02:02:25,840 Speaker 1: recoil next year where they're gonna come back and say, Okay, 2322 02:02:25,840 --> 02:02:27,640 Speaker 1: now everybody's not only going to score, you know, twenty 2323 02:02:27,680 --> 02:02:30,480 Speaker 1: four points a game again. My answer is no, that 2324 02:02:30,680 --> 02:02:32,840 Speaker 1: is not going to happen. And I'll and I'll use 2325 02:02:33,040 --> 02:02:35,880 Speaker 1: I'll answer that question by posing another question to you, Steve, 2326 02:02:36,920 --> 02:02:40,680 Speaker 1: In all of your years around the league, how often 2327 02:02:40,760 --> 02:02:44,480 Speaker 1: have you seen the league put in a rule to 2328 02:02:44,720 --> 02:02:50,360 Speaker 1: curb offense? Right? Never? Right now, I'm thinking, I'm thinking, 2329 02:02:50,520 --> 02:02:53,560 Speaker 1: you know, But here's why I'm thinking this. The officials 2330 02:02:53,600 --> 02:02:57,520 Speaker 1: are in this COVID thing too, and we've had conversations 2331 02:02:57,600 --> 02:03:01,920 Speaker 1: like this off and on with listeners and stuff. I mean, 2332 02:03:02,000 --> 02:03:04,680 Speaker 1: when was the last time there's been like one measurement 2333 02:03:04,800 --> 02:03:07,040 Speaker 1: a week? And oh yeah, the chain gangs are not 2334 02:03:07,160 --> 02:03:10,360 Speaker 1: coming out on purpose, I think to avoid multiple contact, 2335 02:03:10,440 --> 02:03:14,600 Speaker 1: multiple contact points people crowded around a yard stick. I 2336 02:03:14,680 --> 02:03:16,840 Speaker 1: mean you see it that the chain gang comes out 2337 02:03:16,880 --> 02:03:19,160 Speaker 1: with the thing. You got the guy holding the marker, 2338 02:03:20,000 --> 02:03:22,560 Speaker 1: and you got the ref pull in the chain, you know, 2339 02:03:22,640 --> 02:03:24,640 Speaker 1: to stretch it out to the football, and then you 2340 02:03:24,680 --> 02:03:27,200 Speaker 1: got probably a handful of players right around those guys 2341 02:03:27,440 --> 02:03:29,160 Speaker 1: looking to see if they got it or not right. 2342 02:03:29,240 --> 02:03:32,080 Speaker 1: So that's just the oppensive social distance. And they're also 2343 02:03:32,240 --> 02:03:34,400 Speaker 1: spotting the thing on the yard markers no matter what. 2344 02:03:34,560 --> 02:03:36,720 Speaker 1: It's not like the thirty three and a half yard 2345 02:03:36,800 --> 02:03:39,080 Speaker 1: line with it's the thirty four yard line, or it's 2346 02:03:39,080 --> 02:03:41,120 Speaker 1: the thirty three yard line, it's not the thirty three 2347 02:03:41,160 --> 02:03:43,160 Speaker 1: and a half. So there's a lot of that going on. 2348 02:03:43,360 --> 02:03:45,360 Speaker 1: And I know this you you've agreed with me on this. 2349 02:03:45,520 --> 02:03:49,320 Speaker 1: They were not calling holding penalties and they still aren't 2350 02:03:50,080 --> 02:03:52,160 Speaker 1: calling holding penalties to the level of a week, a 2351 02:03:52,200 --> 02:03:54,320 Speaker 1: couple of weeks where we thought, oh, maybe it's turning, 2352 02:03:54,360 --> 02:03:56,040 Speaker 1: and I know you even had a theory that maybe 2353 02:03:56,080 --> 02:03:59,240 Speaker 1: it would. But and the defenses are playing better now 2354 02:03:59,320 --> 02:04:04,360 Speaker 1: than they were, yes, but still I'm just wondering if 2355 02:04:04,440 --> 02:04:08,160 Speaker 1: we'll slide back, and and even if it's in certain 2356 02:04:08,200 --> 02:04:10,040 Speaker 1: areas and not others, what the ripple effect will that 2357 02:04:10,200 --> 02:04:12,560 Speaker 1: that will be. I think I don't think we're going 2358 02:04:12,600 --> 02:04:14,440 Speaker 1: to see quarterbacks saying, hey, they're having a good year 2359 02:04:14,440 --> 02:04:16,840 Speaker 1: if they're completing sixty three percent of their passes anymore. 2360 02:04:16,840 --> 02:04:18,280 Speaker 1: I think we have to look at it this way. 2361 02:04:18,480 --> 02:04:20,880 Speaker 1: You have to look at this from an ownership perspective, 2362 02:04:22,000 --> 02:04:28,160 Speaker 1: and after this pandemic year where teams took sizeable losses, 2363 02:04:29,880 --> 02:04:33,560 Speaker 1: they want to get fans back in their buildings next season. 2364 02:04:33,760 --> 02:04:35,960 Speaker 1: And while I don't see it as being a heavy lift, 2365 02:04:36,400 --> 02:04:38,840 Speaker 1: I think they want to ensure that people come back 2366 02:04:38,920 --> 02:04:43,640 Speaker 1: in droves. And what do people like to watch? Touchdowns? 2367 02:04:44,080 --> 02:04:47,760 Speaker 1: High scoring games? Last night's a perfect example. That was 2368 02:04:47,800 --> 02:04:50,720 Speaker 1: the best game of the season. I was glued to 2369 02:04:50,920 --> 02:04:54,320 Speaker 1: that game. Last night was so fun and it maybe 2370 02:04:54,880 --> 02:04:56,800 Speaker 1: you know, maybe the league and I don't don't. I 2371 02:04:56,800 --> 02:05:00,480 Speaker 1: think to get the fans back in the stands, keep 2372 02:05:00,520 --> 02:05:03,080 Speaker 1: it these high scoring affairs. It's gonna get people back 2373 02:05:03,120 --> 02:05:04,840 Speaker 1: in the building. I don't think the league is ever 2374 02:05:04,880 --> 02:05:07,640 Speaker 1: gonna tamper with the competitive balance or anything like that. 2375 02:05:07,800 --> 02:05:09,320 Speaker 1: But they know as long as they can do it 2376 02:05:09,440 --> 02:05:12,760 Speaker 1: league wide and structure it, they're perfect philosophies. Instead of 2377 02:05:12,840 --> 02:05:15,720 Speaker 1: having it sixty three to sixty two game they like 2378 02:05:15,920 --> 02:05:18,720 Speaker 1: last night, like maybe forty two, but probably more like 2379 02:05:18,920 --> 02:05:21,400 Speaker 1: thirty five, thirty three, thirty four to thirty one, that 2380 02:05:21,520 --> 02:05:25,320 Speaker 1: kind of score. But if they can, they would love 2381 02:05:25,400 --> 02:05:29,520 Speaker 1: to have it ten to seven at a half. Why 2382 02:05:30,000 --> 02:05:33,560 Speaker 1: so the game ends back and forth like last night? 2383 02:05:33,680 --> 02:05:35,520 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, they had three touchdowns in the last 2384 02:05:35,600 --> 02:05:40,040 Speaker 1: five minutes of that game, right, yeah, So that's kind 2385 02:05:40,040 --> 02:05:41,640 Speaker 1: of the fun part about it. It's like the last 2386 02:05:41,640 --> 02:05:44,600 Speaker 1: two minutes in the NBA, you know when it's close. 2387 02:05:45,320 --> 02:05:48,480 Speaker 1: So I don't know if I'm just to hold This 2388 02:05:48,560 --> 02:05:50,840 Speaker 1: whole conversation stems for the fact I wonder how much 2389 02:05:50,880 --> 02:05:54,520 Speaker 1: of twenty twenty is gonna stick with us in football 2390 02:05:54,560 --> 02:05:56,400 Speaker 1: as we go forward after twenty twenty one of the 2391 02:05:56,480 --> 02:05:59,760 Speaker 1: viruses behind us, there's a lot of things on that list, 2392 02:06:00,160 --> 02:06:02,840 Speaker 1: right get to there is you think about it or 2393 02:06:02,880 --> 02:06:05,960 Speaker 1: all like and stuff to do with our job. You know, 2394 02:06:06,200 --> 02:06:08,600 Speaker 1: who travels with the team, how that works? Hoop, what's 2395 02:06:08,640 --> 02:06:11,040 Speaker 1: going on? How's the laundry. There's a laundry list of 2396 02:06:11,120 --> 02:06:16,640 Speaker 1: things that happened that the combine, the draft, all of 2397 02:06:16,720 --> 02:06:20,680 Speaker 1: that stuff. How's it going to be conducted? Are people 2398 02:06:20,760 --> 02:06:23,480 Speaker 1: going to approach travel. Yea, all that stuff, all that'll 2399 02:06:23,600 --> 02:06:26,680 Speaker 1: that'll probably all come back large in large measure like 2400 02:06:26,760 --> 02:06:28,920 Speaker 1: it was. But there's gonna be some changes because we 2401 02:06:28,960 --> 02:06:31,800 Speaker 1: don't anticipate they're gonna stick with us. Back to the 2402 02:06:31,840 --> 02:06:35,240 Speaker 1: tweet sheet from Tim, I believe Josh is just cracked 2403 02:06:35,320 --> 02:06:38,040 Speaker 1: the door. If I was a betting man, I'd say, 2404 02:06:38,160 --> 02:06:40,480 Speaker 1: next year he slams right through the door. What's that 2405 02:06:40,520 --> 02:06:42,400 Speaker 1: gonna look like? Yeah, I know that's a little too 2406 02:06:42,480 --> 02:06:45,160 Speaker 1: metaphoric for me. What's it gonna look It's gonna throw 2407 02:06:45,240 --> 02:06:47,480 Speaker 1: for four thousand yards? So he's gonna do that this year? Yeah? 2408 02:06:48,480 --> 02:06:52,440 Speaker 1: Uh yeah. If anything, Tim may have understood Josh this year. 2409 02:06:52,760 --> 02:06:57,200 Speaker 1: In looking to the future from Jeremy, Once this team 2410 02:06:57,280 --> 02:06:59,720 Speaker 1: gets a complimentary running back that's top ten or so, 2411 02:07:00,320 --> 02:07:02,800 Speaker 1: Josh is going to get even better. Teams now seem 2412 02:07:02,920 --> 02:07:04,960 Speaker 1: to not be fearing the run game and respecting the 2413 02:07:05,000 --> 02:07:07,400 Speaker 1: pass game more. Once they have to let their guard 2414 02:07:07,480 --> 02:07:10,120 Speaker 1: down to protect the ground game, that will be the 2415 02:07:10,240 --> 02:07:14,480 Speaker 1: time for Josh. He's kind of doing it without a 2416 02:07:14,560 --> 02:07:17,880 Speaker 1: running game, right now, Am I crazy? No, you're right, 2417 02:07:18,880 --> 02:07:22,080 Speaker 1: You're right. He's doing it without a running game. Now, listen, 2418 02:07:22,120 --> 02:07:24,320 Speaker 1: if you don't need it, don't spend any money to 2419 02:07:24,400 --> 02:07:27,480 Speaker 1: buy it, you know, don't spend your resources to get it. 2420 02:07:27,600 --> 02:07:29,640 Speaker 1: And I'm and I'm not trying to hurt the running 2421 02:07:29,680 --> 02:07:32,240 Speaker 1: back market or anybody that plays that position in this league. 2422 02:07:32,280 --> 02:07:34,320 Speaker 1: But if I was a GM in this league, I 2423 02:07:34,360 --> 02:07:38,800 Speaker 1: would just keep drafting, drafting one that could play, and 2424 02:07:39,000 --> 02:07:41,240 Speaker 1: then when it comes second contract time, you got another 2425 02:07:41,240 --> 02:07:43,400 Speaker 1: guy in the pipeline, another guy in the pipeline, another 2426 02:07:43,480 --> 02:07:50,400 Speaker 1: guy in the pipeline. We've seen how detrimental fact second contracts. 2427 02:07:50,920 --> 02:07:54,200 Speaker 1: Two running backs in this league have been four teams. Right. 2428 02:07:54,720 --> 02:07:58,200 Speaker 1: It is a It is a position that sees the 2429 02:07:58,360 --> 02:08:02,520 Speaker 1: most attrition of any position in football, and so to 2430 02:08:02,640 --> 02:08:05,680 Speaker 1: hand out a giant second contract, even for a talented 2431 02:08:05,680 --> 02:08:09,560 Speaker 1: player who deserves it, is sometimes ill advised. And I 2432 02:08:09,600 --> 02:08:13,280 Speaker 1: don't think Listen, we're talking about an offense whose job 2433 02:08:13,400 --> 02:08:15,280 Speaker 1: is to score points. In the last six games, they've 2434 02:08:15,280 --> 02:08:19,920 Speaker 1: scored twenty four, forty four, thirty twenty seven, thirty four 2435 02:08:20,000 --> 02:08:22,440 Speaker 1: and twenty six last year, able to run the ball 2436 02:08:22,480 --> 02:08:24,600 Speaker 1: with extreme perfesce last year they couldn't. It was a 2437 02:08:24,720 --> 02:08:28,120 Speaker 1: banner day if they scored twenty well, they averaged nineteen 2438 02:08:28,200 --> 02:08:30,720 Speaker 1: point six, right, and what they're eight points better than 2439 02:08:30,800 --> 02:08:33,800 Speaker 1: that this year, which I think is second. It's the 2440 02:08:33,920 --> 02:08:37,920 Speaker 1: second highest improvement year over year, and I think Pittsburgh's 2441 02:08:37,920 --> 02:08:41,000 Speaker 1: first first because Ben Roethlisberger wasn't there last year. They 2442 02:08:41,040 --> 02:08:45,960 Speaker 1: had Duck Dodger playing for that right, so they had 2443 02:08:46,080 --> 02:08:49,040 Speaker 1: you know, they had their own issues. But yeah, they've 2444 02:08:49,080 --> 02:08:53,000 Speaker 1: scored enough points now, so what I Yeah, I've said 2445 02:08:53,480 --> 02:08:57,160 Speaker 1: this and I'll say it again if this was if 2446 02:08:57,240 --> 02:09:01,360 Speaker 1: we were moving forward now into twenty twenty one, I 2447 02:09:01,480 --> 02:09:07,840 Speaker 1: think tops on my list are defensive and offensive lineman 2448 02:09:07,960 --> 02:09:10,080 Speaker 1: for the draft. For the Buffalo Bills, I'd like to 2449 02:09:10,120 --> 02:09:13,400 Speaker 1: get another corner. I really want another corner. I want 2450 02:09:13,440 --> 02:09:18,000 Speaker 1: somebody opposite Tradavious who's almost as good now. Maybe Dan 2451 02:09:18,120 --> 02:09:20,440 Speaker 1: Jackson can develop into that guy, because he's shown some 2452 02:09:20,560 --> 02:09:23,280 Speaker 1: promise in the limited time that he's gotten on the field, 2453 02:09:23,320 --> 02:09:26,040 Speaker 1: but had trouble standing healthy. But yeah, I wouldn't. I wouldn't. 2454 02:09:26,040 --> 02:09:29,080 Speaker 1: I don't problem with drafting another quarter because where is 2455 02:09:29,080 --> 02:09:32,400 Speaker 1: the league going, Steve Oh, I hear it's going four wide. 2456 02:09:32,760 --> 02:09:34,480 Speaker 1: I hear four and more teams are gonna be playing 2457 02:09:34,600 --> 02:09:37,160 Speaker 1: that way after what we see the Chiefs do the 2458 02:09:37,280 --> 02:09:39,680 Speaker 1: improvement that the Bills made this year playing four wide. 2459 02:09:39,680 --> 02:09:42,120 Speaker 1: There's gonna be copycats for that. Yeah, and so you 2460 02:09:42,240 --> 02:09:45,840 Speaker 1: better have guys and the and with the number of 2461 02:09:46,000 --> 02:09:48,480 Speaker 1: great wide receivers that they're drafting year over year, Yeah, 2462 02:09:48,520 --> 02:09:50,600 Speaker 1: there's gonna be tons of guys on every roster that 2463 02:09:50,640 --> 02:09:52,320 Speaker 1: they can using it to feel good about putting on 2464 02:09:52,360 --> 02:09:54,960 Speaker 1: the field. So yeah, I mean them, you need people. 2465 02:09:55,520 --> 02:09:57,600 Speaker 1: But I'm telling you right now, offensive linemen are a 2466 02:09:57,720 --> 02:10:02,880 Speaker 1: premium and so we're defense lyneman, particularly defensive interior guys. Yeah. 2467 02:10:03,440 --> 02:10:05,120 Speaker 1: Last one on the tweet sheet we'll read before the 2468 02:10:05,160 --> 02:10:07,760 Speaker 1: break from Rachel. Josh is close to his full potential, 2469 02:10:07,840 --> 02:10:09,440 Speaker 1: but I think he can go even further if our 2470 02:10:09,520 --> 02:10:12,280 Speaker 1: run game improves. Here's another run game comment. Josh has 2471 02:10:12,280 --> 02:10:14,440 Speaker 1: been playing great even though defenses view him as the 2472 02:10:14,560 --> 02:10:17,160 Speaker 1: number one threat. If teams need to respect our run 2473 02:10:17,200 --> 02:10:19,120 Speaker 1: as much as our past, Josh will get even more 2474 02:10:19,200 --> 02:10:24,160 Speaker 1: opportunity to light them up. Maybe, But I mean he's 2475 02:10:24,160 --> 02:10:26,040 Speaker 1: been an offensive Player of the Week three times this 2476 02:10:26,120 --> 02:10:28,920 Speaker 1: season without much of a run game. I mean it's 2477 02:10:28,960 --> 02:10:31,800 Speaker 1: working now. Could he be better? I guess if you 2478 02:10:31,880 --> 02:10:34,280 Speaker 1: have true balance in your offense. But even if they 2479 02:10:34,320 --> 02:10:36,160 Speaker 1: have a good running game. They're still throw it forty 2480 02:10:36,200 --> 02:10:40,040 Speaker 1: times because that's who they are. It's hard to say 2481 02:10:40,360 --> 02:10:42,280 Speaker 1: for me, it's hard for me to say Josh Allen's 2482 02:10:42,280 --> 02:10:43,960 Speaker 1: going to be even better and even better and even 2483 02:10:44,000 --> 02:10:45,920 Speaker 1: better when you're talking about taking the ball out of 2484 02:10:45,960 --> 02:10:47,640 Speaker 1: his hand and given it somebody else every you know, 2485 02:10:47,720 --> 02:10:50,800 Speaker 1: half the time. Yeah, that's what I was thinking. They 2486 02:10:50,800 --> 02:10:53,120 Speaker 1: don't do that with Aaron Rodgers. Give him the ball, 2487 02:10:53,240 --> 02:10:56,360 Speaker 1: let him throw it. That's the word the league's at 2488 02:10:56,480 --> 02:10:59,480 Speaker 1: right now. Now. Certainly it may change next year they're made. 2489 02:10:59,480 --> 02:11:01,520 Speaker 1: The pengulum may swing, you know more, back to a 2490 02:11:01,600 --> 02:11:04,440 Speaker 1: more physical game down inside, you know, everybody's handing it off. 2491 02:11:04,520 --> 02:11:09,160 Speaker 1: But for right now, now throw at forty five times. 2492 02:11:09,640 --> 02:11:12,080 Speaker 1: Break time for us. We're back with what have we learned? Here? 2493 02:11:12,120 --> 02:11:14,320 Speaker 1: On One Bill's Live, presented by Kalid to Health. It's 2494 02:11:14,320 --> 02:11:29,480 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's Radio. It's that time for what have we 2495 02:11:29,680 --> 02:11:34,240 Speaker 1: learned from today's show? Presented by Skyworks, the official construction 2496 02:11:34,280 --> 02:11:37,680 Speaker 1: equipment rental company of the Buffalo Bills, and the good 2497 02:11:37,720 --> 02:11:40,080 Speaker 1: Old Hall of Famer Jim Kelly on the show today, 2498 02:11:40,560 --> 02:11:44,640 Speaker 1: talk about Josh Allen's play this season, how much he's 2499 02:11:44,680 --> 02:11:51,720 Speaker 1: improved and where he thinks his potential still lies. Yes, 2500 02:11:51,800 --> 02:11:56,080 Speaker 1: you will know if you are accepting that you're at 2501 02:11:56,160 --> 02:11:58,720 Speaker 1: the top, and then you know you're gonna start going down. 2502 02:11:58,840 --> 02:12:02,480 Speaker 1: So I think he's playing great football. Yeah, there's always 2503 02:12:02,600 --> 02:12:05,280 Speaker 1: room from proving and everybody's game, whether it was Josh 2504 02:12:05,480 --> 02:12:08,960 Speaker 1: or Morris should center, whether it's Chip Jerry us on defense, 2505 02:12:09,080 --> 02:12:11,920 Speaker 1: whatever your case may be as well. Know, Steve, you 2506 02:12:12,000 --> 02:12:13,920 Speaker 1: got to continue to learn. He's in his third year. 2507 02:12:14,280 --> 02:12:17,000 Speaker 1: He's going awesome. In the bottom line, if he does 2508 02:12:17,120 --> 02:12:20,520 Speaker 1: not break my records, and then something's draw especially you 2509 02:12:20,560 --> 02:12:23,280 Speaker 1: know in today's game, how much a pass and not 2510 02:12:23,320 --> 02:12:25,480 Speaker 1: all of touch, the receivers, not all put a hand 2511 02:12:25,520 --> 02:12:29,120 Speaker 1: on the quarterback, all those things, if you think about 2512 02:12:29,160 --> 02:12:32,400 Speaker 1: all of them, and you know what, I'd be surprised 2513 02:12:32,480 --> 02:12:36,520 Speaker 1: if Josh doesn't break all my records. If then after 2514 02:12:36,720 --> 02:12:40,240 Speaker 1: he continues to grow, who starts breaking his own records? 2515 02:12:40,360 --> 02:12:43,520 Speaker 1: So yeah, if Ninja also, that means we're winning and 2516 02:12:43,600 --> 02:12:47,600 Speaker 1: we're doing well. And like I said, that's what Jim 2517 02:12:47,800 --> 02:12:50,720 Speaker 1: was worried about as a player. He's worried about the team, 2518 02:12:50,760 --> 02:12:52,440 Speaker 1: and now as a fan it's the same thing. He 2519 02:12:52,480 --> 02:12:54,840 Speaker 1: didn't care about his records he knows. If Josh is 2520 02:12:54,840 --> 02:12:56,600 Speaker 1: playing good, that means the team's playing well and the 2521 02:12:57,000 --> 02:12:59,480 Speaker 1: football game it's just winning play. We're winning and we're 2522 02:12:59,520 --> 02:13:02,880 Speaker 1: doing well. That's it. And he's right. Uh. Yeah, it's 2523 02:13:02,880 --> 02:13:04,880 Speaker 1: been a year for Josh to you know, who has 2524 02:13:05,160 --> 02:13:08,120 Speaker 1: emerged onto I think, to the Nash and nation's consciousness. 2525 02:13:08,200 --> 02:13:09,760 Speaker 1: He's in the midst of doing it. He's just he 2526 02:13:10,160 --> 02:13:12,760 Speaker 1: strummed the forty nine ers in the biggest way possible. 2527 02:13:12,800 --> 02:13:16,400 Speaker 1: He climbed out of a hole in the first half 2528 02:13:16,440 --> 02:13:18,880 Speaker 1: of the game against Pittsburgh where they looked like they 2529 02:13:18,960 --> 02:13:20,480 Speaker 1: are getting the better of him, and then he lit 2530 02:13:20,560 --> 02:13:22,400 Speaker 1: him up. It's like he figured it out and all 2531 02:13:22,400 --> 02:13:24,600 Speaker 1: of a sudden, bang bang bang, and then you know, 2532 02:13:24,640 --> 02:13:26,720 Speaker 1: we'll see what he does against a Denver team where 2533 02:13:26,720 --> 02:13:28,480 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people across the country at 2534 02:13:28,480 --> 02:13:32,440 Speaker 1: a four o'clock window on Saturday, they're gonna expect him 2535 02:13:32,480 --> 02:13:34,960 Speaker 1: to light it up again. Um, if he comes through 2536 02:13:35,040 --> 02:13:39,880 Speaker 1: on that stage, yeah, that's yeah. This is a team 2537 02:13:39,960 --> 02:13:41,720 Speaker 1: that's that's on the rise and they're doing it at 2538 02:13:41,800 --> 02:13:43,360 Speaker 1: just the right time.
