00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 1: The One Bill's Live presented by Kalida Health.

2
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 2: We've made it to Friday. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you.

3
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 2: One Bill's Live is the show. Glad to have you

4
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 2: with us. Be here till three and uh. We're on

5
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 2: the precipice of the biggest game of the regular season.

6
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 1: Precipice.

7
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,239
Speaker 2: I like that word. That's my fifty center for the day.

8
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 2: I'm sure you'll have one.

9
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: As you usually do. I left, Mike, okay, I left

10
00:00:58,480 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: my drink somewhere.

11
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 2: Oh boy, you're unsettled. You're gonna be okay.

12
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: Staff attention, staff, people start running in here. I have

13
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: no idea what it.

14
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 2: We're scurrying around.

15
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh well, let's go anyway. We're just push Yeah.

16
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 2: Well yeah, you don't really have a choice. We're doing

17
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:19,479
Speaker 2: that regardless. Bill's wrapping up on the practice field here

18
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 2: on Friday. They were inside again today on the turf

19
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:27,759
Speaker 2: field and pretty much wrapping things up. The only non

20
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:33,680
Speaker 2: participant was Mitch Morse due to illness, so he missed

21
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 2: practiced today. Let him rest up, maybe get some IV

22
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:42,040
Speaker 2: fluids in him, and have him feeling better tomorrow and

23
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 2: hopefully no worse for where for the game. On Sunday.

24
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 2: No one else has been ruled out to this point

25
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 2: for Sunday's game. Tomar Hamlin, I think would be the

26
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 2: player most in question had a red non contact jersey

27
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 2: on in practice this week, but I'm not even certain

28
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 2: he would be active on Sunday, so it might very

29
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 2: well be a moot point there. Meanwhile, the dolphin side

30
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 2: of the ledger is must length much lengthier in terms

31
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 2: of questions and such, and we should tell you Bill's

32
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 2: practice updates are presented by leecom your Lake Erie College

33
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 2: of Osteopathic Medicine. The dolphin side of the ledger though lengthy,

34
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 2: but head coach Mike McDaniel just addressed the media in

35
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 2: the last hour. Here are the updates. Raheem Mostard and

36
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 2: Jalen Waddle will both practice on a limited basis today

37
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 2: and then a determination will be made on their status

38
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 2: for the game on Sunday. McDaniel said, neither player has

39
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 2: closed the idea closed the door on the idea of

40
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 2: playing Sunday night. Tyreek Hill back in the building Friday.

41
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 2: He missed all day yesterday due to his house fire

42
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 2: at his home. He's back in the building expected to

43
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 2: practice in some capacity determination made, but I think in

44
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 2: all likelihood he's expected to play. The two inside linebackers,

45
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 2: David Long and Duke Riley, they are both on the

46
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 2: injury report, both of them expected to play, per McDaniel.

47
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 2: Robert hun who missed last week's game they're starting right guard,

48
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 2: has made good progress all week, looks like he is

49
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 2: going to play. And then starting inside linebacker Jerome Baker,

50
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 2: who's missed the last four or five games due to

51
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 2: injury on injured reserve, opened his practice window this Wednesday.

52
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 2: There have been no setbacks for him so far this week,

53
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 2: so McDaniel said he is optimistic that Baker will be

54
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 2: ready to play, and then beyond that, Xavian Howard has

55
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 2: been declared out for Sunday's game, so he had the

56
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 2: foot injury last week, will not be able to play.

57
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 2: Bradley Chubb obviously he had surgery on his knee, his

58
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 2: torn ACL He'll be placed on injured reserve tomorrow and

59
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 2: then presumably taking his place on the roster will be

60
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 2: the aforementioned Jerome Baker. McDaniel was asked the question that

61
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 2: we've been tossing around here all week, just in terms

62
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 2: of do you rest any of these injured guys because

63
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 2: the playoffs are next week instead of playing them Sunday night,

64
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 2: and McDaniel said it's a question of making the best

65
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 2: educated guess as to how much of a risk they'll

66
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 2: be putting the player in by playing Sunday Night. He

67
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 2: did reiterate Mostart wants to play. The general consensus from

68
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 2: down in Miami from reporters who cover the team is

69
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 2: that Mostard figures to be up for Sunday Night's game,

70
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 2: but that he'll take a secondary role in the backfield

71
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 2: behind Devon a Chan. So it looks like a Chan

72
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 2: is probably going to be the primary back Sunday Night,

73
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 2: while Moster takes more of a backup role. So that's

74
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 2: how we anticipate things going there. And we'll have a

75
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 2: little more on a Chan a little bit later on

76
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 2: in the show because he's part of our Collision Course

77
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 2: segment this week. But that guy gave the Bills problems

78
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,479
Speaker 2: when he touched the ball in the first game. He

79
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 2: had eight carries for one hundred and one yards Steve,

80
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 2: including a fifty five yard scamper and a three yard

81
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 2: touchdown run.

82
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 1: He is a problem eight your eight carries, you kind

83
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: of think like what were they doing? Why didn't they

84
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: give it to him fifteen times? Right, it's crazy. He

85
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 1: had a really good game against Buffalo and that guy

86
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 1: is he's crazy fast. And one thing though, Dolphins, and

87
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 1: you know this because looking at their stats, all these

88
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:43,479
Speaker 1: guys can scoot.

89
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 3: You.

90
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: We all hear about Tyreek and how he can go. Listen,

91
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,159
Speaker 1: eight Chan can really go, and so can Moostered and

92
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 1: Jalen Wild. I mean, they they have distracting They have

93
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,919
Speaker 1: as much speed as any team in the NFL maybe

94
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: ever has has ever had. This is what the Raiders

95
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: used to look like, fast everywhere. And they're a handful

96
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 1: for that reason. And you know these injuries and I'll

97
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: say this too, and they're not track guys because well

98
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 1: it could be. Yeah, but here's the thing. The old

99
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 1: story from the reason track guys some kind sometimes struggle

100
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: to play football, is that football you got to play

101
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: when you're at you're not right. Track guys need to

102
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: be right. And the old stereotype, it doesn't didn't fit everybody,

103
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 1: but the stereotype was that track guys didn't like to

104
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 1: play and they didn't like to run unless they were

105
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: feeling perfect. You know, they need to just running well.

106
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,799
Speaker 1: You know, football, you're never like that, so sometimes, rarely,

107
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 1: some guys sometimes struggled with that when they made that

108
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: transition from being a really fast guy on the track

109
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 1: to a fast guy on a football field with guys

110
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 1: beating on them. So this team in Miami and got

111
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: none of those guys. These guys all go there. They

112
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: got some dog in them and they are really good.

113
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 1: That's why they're number one of the lead offense. That's

114
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,479
Speaker 1: why they're a handful, that's right.

115
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 2: The only other NFL news that was worth mentioning was

116
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 2: James Cook's older brother, who parted ways with the Jets

117
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 2: last week, cleared waivers, and then was signed by the

118
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:20,559
Speaker 2: Baltimore Ravens to their practice squad. So the rich get richer,

119
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 2: so to speak. So Dalvin Cook is going to be

120
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 2: on the practice squad of the Ravens and if they

121
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 2: need him, they'll call him up for the playoffs and

122
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 2: you'll have two weeks to get ready, you know, get

123
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 2: a handle on Baltimore's offensive system. He is, and he's

124
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 2: actually playing for the same offensive coordinator that his younger

125
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 2: brother had at Georgia, Todd Monkin.

126
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 1: So he the striking resemblance between these two Oh my god, James,

127
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean, yeah, they look alike, and so

128
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: it's kind of cool to see. But you know, he's

129
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 1: bounced around already this year, so I don't know how

130
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 1: much tread is on that tire, but there's some good

131
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 1: experience in that.

132
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 2: That is the kind of signing you expect the Ravens

133
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 2: to make. They have a long history of bringing in

134
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 2: grizzled veteran players. So no longer with the Jets, sees

135
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 2: with the Ravens now.

136
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 1: Guys like that don't flinch.

137
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 2: And here's the other thing. Because I was reminded of

138
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 2: this rule. I was just kind of combing through some

139
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 2: stuff to see, you know what things change with regard

140
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 2: to rosters and stuff when you get to the postseason.

141
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 2: So during the regular season, a practice squad player can

142
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 2: only be called up four times in the season and

143
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 2: revert right back to the practice squad without having to

144
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 2: put that player on waivers. Once you elevate a player

145
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 2: after that, they have to go on your fifty three

146
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 2: man roster, and if you don't do that, they can

147
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 2: go on waivers and then they can be claimed by

148
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 2: somebody else. In the postseason, you have unlimited, practice squad

149
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 2: elevations unlimited. So you go all the way to the

150
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 2: Super Bowl and play four games.

151
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:57,439
Speaker 1: Everybody can play.

152
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 2: Everybody can get called up at any given time, reflowing

153
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 2: roster from the practice squad up to game day roster.

154
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 2: So I thought that was worth mentioning. Yeah, it's And

155
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 2: here's the other thing, Steve, I don't know what feedback

156
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 2: you've gotten to this point. I've I've received some pretty

157
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 2: I wouldn't overwhelming is too strong. But the majority of

158
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 2: the feedback that I've gotten, whether it's people in the neighborhood,

159
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 2: people at the grocery store about this game, they feel confident,

160
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 2: which that's not a common thing with all the scar

161
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 2: tissue that Bills fans carry around. There is a there

162
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 2: is a level of confidence this week in particular, and

163
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 2: I guess it has to do with the past history

164
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 2: and even the recent history of the Bills. Well, beating

165
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 2: this Dolphins team.

166
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 1: That, yeah, that history is not gonna last forever. No,

167
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 1: at any point it could end. Certainly, you got to

168
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: feel good about the way the Bills play this team

169
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 1: when they when the this team was flying, This Miami

170
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 1: team is flying high. First month of the season, and

171
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 1: Buffalo got them really good at home. They are different

172
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 1: for two things. One, they're a very different football team

173
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 1: when they're playing in Miami are the Dolphins, And they've

174
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: got a lot of reps in this offense this year.

175
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 1: They're a good football team. They're at the top of

176
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 1: the division. They have been for There were three games

177
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 1: up on this on the Bills five weeks ago, and

178
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 1: I have a hard time although this is kind of

179
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 1: where we were. The Bills were super confident that they

180
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 1: were going to get it together and start winning games.

181
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 1: And of course they have to the tune of four

182
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 1: in a row, and the Dolphins were what two and

183
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: two in that stretch. Yes, there you go.

184
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 2: So now it's I don't know that I would call

185
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 2: the Bills flying high right now. They're grinding out wins,

186
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 2: so I don't think they're flying high like the Dolphins

187
00:10:58,280 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 2: were the last time these two teams met.

188
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 1: Well, the Bills were, well, the Bills were flying high

189
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 1: when they met the Dolphins the first time they but

190
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 1: they had played the Raiders and the Commanders too, so

191
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 1: there's a little something in that as well. You know,

192
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: they beat the Raiders thirty eight ten, They beat the

193
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 1: Commanders thirty seven to three, and then with the three

194
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,079
Speaker 1: and no Dolphins coming in here and the Bills off

195
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 1: a two. Really good guy. It was a huge game.

196
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 1: Remember it was a spectacular day in Buffalo, beautiful weather,

197
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 1: one o'clock in the afternoon, seventy degrees. It could not

198
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 1: have been more perfect. And the Bills hung a forty

199
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:34,719
Speaker 1: eight twenty you know, burger on them. And then it

200
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 1: started to go a little sideways for Buffalo and they

201
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: started scoring in twenty and fourteen and all that stuff.

202
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 1: The injuries hit, and particularly the next week against Jacksonville

203
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 1: when they lost Milano and Dekon.

204
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 2: So after losing Tredevius, right.

205
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was an adjustment period so that you could

206
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: you could chalk up all the Bills you know, sideways

207
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: in the record book. The wins lost record to that

208
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:03,719
Speaker 1: if you want. You know, they changed offensive coordinators, all

209
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 1: of that stuff. I mean, they have been bailing water

210
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 1: out of this thing for a minute. But now they're

211
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 1: winning and everybody's happy about that. They don't look the

212
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,319
Speaker 1: same offensively. Defensively at time they look even better.

213
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 2: I think they look better.

214
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, Offensively, it's not the team we've become accustomed to

215
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: with Josh Allen and Steph Diggs in it. So that's

216
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 1: the thing that I think a lot. That's the only

217
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 1: thing that throws a fly in the ointment of winning

218
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:38,719
Speaker 1: the AFC East again easily.

219
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:43,319
Speaker 2: Right, And we always say this going into these division games. Ah,

220
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 2: the Bills are clearly the better team. It usually doesn't

221
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 2: matter in division games, and that's why they end up

222
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 2: being close. Because their personnel knows yours, their coaching staff

223
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 2: knows yours, and vice versa, and because there aren't many surprises,

224
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 2: games tend to stay close in these division matchups. And

225
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 2: I'm anticipating that here on Sunday night as well. Would

226
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 2: it be great if they run off and leave the

227
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:14,679
Speaker 2: Dolphins and bury them. Absolutely, I'm not anticipating.

228
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, this They're too good at home, they're too

229
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 1: tough to beat. Anyway, they got up on top of

230
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 1: them in that.

231
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 2: First well, they went toe to toe for the first FI.

232
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:29,079
Speaker 1: This is the game that went Buffalo goes goes down, boom, touchdown,

233
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 1: let's go. Then the Dolphins come back or they're touchdown

234
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 1: for them. Okay, the Bills come back or touchdown, and

235
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 1: then the Dolphins come back or touchdown, and it's like

236
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 1: two minutes into the second quarter and it's fourteen fourteen. Anything, dude,

237
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: this is yeah?

238
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 2: Did the defenses come to play there?

239
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 4: Right?

240
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 1: What the hell right? And then the Bills got to

241
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 1: force a punt and the Bills I think win again,

242
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 1: got a touchdown. I don't know. I can't remember exactly now,

243
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 1: but I remember this game started out fourteen fourteen and

244
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 1: it was looked like a ping pong match. So Miami's

245
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 1: got it under the hood, just like Buffalo does. And

246
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,559
Speaker 1: whether they got whether all healthy or not, we'll see.

247
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 2: I well, and that's the thing. It looks like some

248
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 2: of these guys are pretty committed to playing. Now, what

249
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:18,719
Speaker 2: version of Raheem Moster we see will Bear watching? What

250
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 2: version of Jaylen Waddle if he takes the field, Bear

251
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 2: is watching.

252
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 1: So if you're Miami and the player, then the coaching

253
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 1: staff and all that say, listen, we're gonna we're gonna

254
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 1: play the guys we can, We're gonna play as good

255
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 1: as we can. I get all that. If you're the

256
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 1: players on this Miami team, Bro, the Bills ain't winning

257
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: this division again, Let's.

258
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 2: Go well, I think, and I think that's the internal

259
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 2: motivation they are. They are tired of seeing this Bills

260
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 2: team beat them out for the division title. And I think.

261
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 1: That can go a long way for a football Yes

262
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 1: it can.

263
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 2: You know, slay the dragon type Mantano.

264
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: Think about this. The Bills were as good a team

265
00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 1: as that has been up and running the last four years.

266
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 1: And in one of those games, the team they put

267
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 1: out of the playoffs the previous year came in. They're

268
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 1: the only team that lumped them up, the Indianapolis Colts.

269
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 1: The Bills beat them in the in the philip Rivers

270
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 1: Hail Mary game at the end, that beat them, and

271
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 1: the next year the Colts come in here and just

272
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 1: whax the Bills. It's the only team you can think

273
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 1: of that really did it to them, that stomped them.

274
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 1: And that's the only time it's really ever It's twenty

275
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 1: twenty one, that's right. Since twenty twenty, that's the only

276
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 1: time it's ever happened. Every other loss has been a

277
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: single score game or very close, if not every if not.

278
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 2: Every loss since twenty twenty one. I know it is,

279
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 2: I don't know. That's yeah, twenty so they only lost

280
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 2: four games in twenty twenty, right, So it's let mean,

281
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 2: let all just check for you real kid.

282
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's it's it's that kind of motivation that

283
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 1: the Dolphins can go back and get that, you know. Yeah.

284
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 1: They they lost the Titans sixteen to forty two on

285
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 1: a Tuesday.

286
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 2: Oh yeah right, so since twenty twenty one, only one

287
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 2: game lost by double digits.

288
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 1: They remember the Titans.

289
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, the COVID year sixteen to forty two. Yes, tennes

290
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 2: if they were playing on a Monday, a Tuesday.

291
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 1: Then they were going to play chefs. They're going to

292
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 1: play the Chiefs, and then they weren't going to play

293
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. They're gonna play the Titan and they're gonna

294
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 1: do it on a Tuesday. Played them on a Tuesday. Yeah, seriously.

295
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 2: So yeah, that's that's how that went.

296
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 1: Yeah.

297
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 2: So I don't I'm just I'm very mixed on on

298
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 2: how this game is going to unfold. There's here's my concern.

299
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 2: I would say this is my biggest concern about the

300
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 2: game on Sunday Night as it pertains to the Bills.

301
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 2: The Bills offensively have been unable to get off to

302
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 2: a fast start since the Dallas game. So you're going

303
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 2: three of your last four games, even though you've won

304
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 2: them all the offense had trouble getting into a rhythm.

305
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 2: Now you can do that against a Chiefs team that's

306
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 2: struggling offensively, against a Chargers team with a backup quarterback

307
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 2: and an interim head coach, and against a New England

308
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:11,719
Speaker 2: team with Bailey Zappi and nobody to throw to it receiver.

309
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 2: You can't do that against the number one scoring team

310
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:21,199
Speaker 2: in football on their home field. That's my concern. There's

311
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 2: is that a legitimate concern?

312
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 1: Absolutely, And here's the thing that you can see both

313
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 1: sides to every single pro and con in this, in

314
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:32,360
Speaker 1: this whole scenario. Yes, but the Bills played to their competition.

315
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:33,959
Speaker 1: If you're playing the number one team, the Bills look

316
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 1: like it.

317
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is that is true. They do do that.

318
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 1: The Bills look like it. Bills rise up. They played

319
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 1: this team back in Week four when they were flying high,

320
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 1: and you know what, the Bills rose up and got them.

321
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 1: They played on the road in a rainstorm against the

322
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 1: defending NFC champs, who at the time were the number

323
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,360
Speaker 1: one seed in the conference over there. They took them

324
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 1: to overtime and lost it on a superhuman kick in

325
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 1: the rain storms.

326
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 2: It was it was superhuman so they hear when I

327
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 2: said maybe it was Maddy.

328
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, you said the year take of the year. Yeah, yeah,

329
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:06,680
Speaker 1: it's the kick of the year in the water. Yes

330
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: it is. I know you've said it. I get it.

331
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 1: So that so that's you know, that's where this team is.

332
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 1: You can say, yeah, that they're playing that, and then

333
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,120
Speaker 1: you can also say, listen, they're they're not as athletic

334
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,159
Speaker 1: as they have been in the past. In the secondary

335
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 1: pour you're in hide or nicked up a little bit,

336
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 1: and they're starting to show a little age. You got

337
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 1: Rasseul Douglas who is a playmaker, but he's not an

338
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,959
Speaker 1: an elite athletic. You know, number one corner. He's got

339
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 1: the length and the arms and the strength and all that,

340
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 1: but he's just not out openly fast. And then you

341
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 1: got everybody else over at the other corner. Taron Johnson's

342
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:39,199
Speaker 1: playing well, no question about it. You got some young

343
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:43,959
Speaker 1: athletic linebackers, but in the secondary you're going against some athletes,

344
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 1: some elite athletes. On the on the back end, you

345
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,880
Speaker 1: really got to play mind your p's and q's back

346
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 1: there and make sure you go to your landmarks. Don't

347
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,119
Speaker 1: watch to his eyes, do everything you're supposed to do.

348
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 1: Otherwise they're going to take the lid off the defense

349
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,680
Speaker 1: and start throwing it over the top. So there's all

350
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:00,919
Speaker 1: of that in there. But at the same time, this

351
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 1: is the same secondary who's so well prepared and so savvy,

352
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,479
Speaker 1: and they have done nothing but give two of fits.

353
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: You can we can all see it in games past

354
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:13,199
Speaker 1: where two it comes back, wants to throw it and

355
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 1: he can't because somebody's there.

356
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 2: Right and then you know then or they've muddied the

357
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 2: picture and.

358
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:24,160
Speaker 1: They're so that stuff alone gives you the idea that, well,

359
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 1: maybe they've got it. You know, all of this, You

360
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,640
Speaker 1: can talk yourself in and out of every single scenario

361
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:33,400
Speaker 1: you can think of it, how this game is gonna

362
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 1: come down. Blowout Dolphins, blowout Bills, Tight Dolphins, tight Bills.

363
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 1: You can see it all. Although you know the Bills,

364
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:46,919
Speaker 1: it takes a lot to out to run off and

365
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 1: leave them right.

366
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 2: And I would argue part of what's helping that coverage

367
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 2: on the back end has been a pretty steady and

368
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 2: consistent pass rush, whether it's just with four or whether

369
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:03,640
Speaker 2: it's Sean McDermott's varied blitz packages with people coming from

370
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 2: different places, simulated pressures, different people pressuring. It's made a difference.

371
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 2: And I noted this and are five things to watch

372
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:16,679
Speaker 2: for in Bill's Dolphins. This Bill's defense is four sacks

373
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:20,440
Speaker 2: away from tying the single season team record in franchise

374
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:24,119
Speaker 2: history for sacks. They have fifty three. The record is

375
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:27,399
Speaker 2: fifty seven. They are four sacks away from a team record.

376
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:31,120
Speaker 1: The if there is one thing you look and you can,

377
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:32,719
Speaker 1: they can do the same thing to the Bills if

378
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:35,359
Speaker 1: they so desire, they can pick a But to me,

379
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 1: if there is a weakness in the Miami Arsenal offensively,

380
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 1: it's their offensive line and that plays to the strength

381
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 1: of where Buffalo's defense has been this year. That gives

382
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 1: me some idea that the ball's got to come out

383
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 1: if it's too or he's gonna go down, and the

384
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 1: old Al Davis sung, he's the quarterback's gonna go down,

385
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 1: and he's gonna go down on Hod. You know, he's

386
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 1: got to go down, and he's got to go down

387
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 1: Hard's that could be the difference in this game. Can

388
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 1: the Bills pass rush take advantage of an offensive line

389
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 1: in Miami that is both injured and full guys who

390
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 1: have not played their best. That's a matchup that's gonna

391
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 1: bear watching.

392
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 2: I would agree. I'm very curious to see how Miami

393
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 2: plays the Bills defensively. As we said, it looks like

394
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:36,879
Speaker 2: Xavion Howard is the only guy that's going to be

395
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 2: missing from the equation, along with Bradley Chubb, which are

396
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 2: significant absences, don't get me wrong, and Jalen Phillips who's

397
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,680
Speaker 2: been out for the past month. So they're shorthanded from

398
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 2: a pass rush perspective, and one of their top two

399
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 2: corners is out. That's not good. And we'll talk to

400
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 2: Greg co Sell about this more in the second hour

401
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 2: of the show when we break down some of the

402
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 2: x's and o's. But the Dolphins play with seven defensive backs,

403
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 2: it's known as their dollar package. Do we see more

404
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 2: of that? You know, kind of flood the field with

405
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 2: coverage players and dare the Bills to run the football.

406
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 2: I don't know if that's a wise move by Miami.

407
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 2: They can't live like that with James Cook in the

408
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:21,639
Speaker 2: backfield for Buffalo. So I'm really curious to see what

409
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:26,640
Speaker 2: Vic Fangio draws up, whether he decides to a stay conservative,

410
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,119
Speaker 2: knowing he's got the number one scoring offense on his sideline.

411
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:32,640
Speaker 2: You know, play conservative, just keep it all in front

412
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:35,120
Speaker 2: of you, force him into twelve and thirteen and fourteen

413
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 2: play drives.

414
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 1: Force Josh Allen to be patient.

415
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 2: Or is he shorthanded to the point where he feels

416
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:43,880
Speaker 2: he's got to get exotic and aggressive and come after

417
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 2: this offense for the Bills. I tend to think it's

418
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 2: going to be the former, but I think he's gonna

419
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:52,160
Speaker 2: mix in some surprises for them. Yeah, for sure.

420
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:56,679
Speaker 1: I imagine it's always the case where you want to

421
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 1: make the team go the long way, but you do

422
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:03,680
Speaker 1: spring in some rolls of the dice. Right, We're gonna

423
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 1: try and go. We're gonna try and nick him here

424
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 1: and we think we got a shot here. They'll do

425
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 1: that all the way throughout. But yeah, I think I'm

426
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 1: with you. I think Vic Fangio has seen enough of

427
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:17,199
Speaker 1: Josh Allen to say, listen, Okay, we're not If he

428
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 1: wants to dink and dunk all the way down, that's fine,

429
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 1: but we're not gonna let him bust out of there

430
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 1: and run up our backs himself and get a nineteen

431
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 1: yard scramble play. And we're not gonna let him go

432
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:33,400
Speaker 1: over the top, So we're gonna James Cook can catch

433
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:36,359
Speaker 1: it for five yards and a six yard game, but

434
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 1: that's all you're gonna get. I think that's the that's

435
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 1: the strategy right right.

436
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 2: And you know dan Orlowski told us as much when

437
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 2: we had him on the show on Tuesday and his

438
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:49,119
Speaker 2: weekly appearance where he said, VIC Fangio defenses force you

439
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 2: to be patient. So it's incumbent upon Josh to stay

440
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 2: patient in this game and not try to get it

441
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,399
Speaker 2: all in one play, because that's the last thing a

442
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:01,439
Speaker 2: VIC Fangio defense lets you. We want to remind you

443
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,080

450
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:24,840

Speaker 2: this weekend for this game. What are you going to

452

455
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 2: And as I said, Greg Cosel, senior producer from NFL

456
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 2: Films and co hosts of ESPN's NFL Matchup Show, We'll

457
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 2: be joining us in the second hour of the program

458
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:52,919
Speaker 2: about thirty five forty minutes from now to touch on

459
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 2: some x's and o's both for the Dolphins and the

460
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:59,119
Speaker 2: Bills in this matchup, which is the second one of

461
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 2: the season between these two teams. I was stunned, Steve.

462
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 2: I already knew how good Josh Allen's numbers were against

463
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:13,639
Speaker 2: the Dolphins, and then you brought up one number and

464
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 2: I dug a little bit deeper to bring more to

465
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:19,399
Speaker 2: the table here. And we know that Josh Allen in

466
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 2: the regular season has played the Dolphins eleven times. He

467
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:26,359
Speaker 2: has a nine to two record over that span of time,

468
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 2: thirty one touchdown passes, five rushing touchdowns for a total

469
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 2: of thirty six so thirty six total touchdowns, five interceptions.

470
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:38,920
Speaker 2: He also has run for five hundred and seventy one

471
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 2: yards and has a one to ten point eight passer rating.

472
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:47,359
Speaker 2: In his regular season game career against Miami. In three

473
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,400
Speaker 2: of those eleven games, he has thrown four touchdown passes,

474
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:53,639
Speaker 2: including Week four this season. In three of those games,

475
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 2: he has thrown at least three touchdown passes, and he

476
00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 2: has never thrown fewer than two touchdown passes in a

477
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:04,119
Speaker 2: game against Miami. This is the one that knocked my

478
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 2: socks off. In eleven career regular season games against the Dolphins,

479
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,879
Speaker 2: Josh Allen has been named AFC Offensive Player of the

480
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 2: Week five times, five times in eleven games against the Dolphins.

481
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 2: That is stupid with a capital s.

482
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 1: Stupid.

483
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 2: Five out of eleven games, you're the player of the

484
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:31,920
Speaker 2: week in the conference. Holy macro man, that is nuts.

485
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it goes on and on. He's five and

486
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 1: one against Tua. He's you know, last game they played,

487
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 1: he was. We talked about it yesterday, twenty one to

488
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 1: twenty five, last time these two teams played, twenty one

489
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:54,159
Speaker 1: to twenty five. He had more touchdowns than incompletions. Remember

490
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 1: that we had four touchdown passes, four incompletions and a

491
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 1: running touchdown.

492
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:00,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was.

493
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,879
Speaker 1: It was an absolutely glorious day for Bill's Mafia in

494
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 1: Buffalo on Orchard Park. Steph Diggs had three. It was

495
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 1: an amazing day. So we'll see there's a it's it's

496
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 1: gonna be an absolutely fun game. I imagine Bill's Mafia

497
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 1: will have the exact same angst during this game that

498
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:32,159
Speaker 1: they have had for every other game. This is you know,

499
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:35,959
Speaker 1: this has been a team that has been absolutely, excruciatingly

500
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 1: glorious to cheer for. I mean, it's been a it's

501

Speaker 2: Uh.

503
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:45,159
Speaker 1: To get them back into the point where they can

504
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 1: win the division with a win over Miami and Tua

505
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 1: and walk in there with the history of this franch

506
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 1: with the history of this quarterback and these guys against

507
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:57,760

561
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:06,720
Speaker 2: your greatest memory about playing in the Pro Bowl? You

562
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 2: had some good games, as I remember.

563
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 1: I'll say this, So I get drafted by the Oilers

564
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 1: and then ended up in Buffalo, and I was, you know,

565
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 1: as you can tell, there's a picture there. I mean,

566
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 1: I looked twelve years old, and I was, you know,

567
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 1: shoulder pads look fantastic, right, I look like a refrigerator.

568
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 1: But so we you know, I played three years and

569
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:35,480
Speaker 1: then I came to Buffalo midway through eighty six, and

570
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 1: then eighty seven was a strike here and I started

571
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 1: to finally find my groove with the Bills. And my

572
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 1: favorite Pro Bowl moment this is the game they're showing

573
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 1: highlights now, the ninety three game when I was MVP,

574
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 1: and it was with Don Shulaz that this coaching staff.

575
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:58,960
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, so I'm I'm eighty seven.

576
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 1: Happens we finished the and we don't go to the playoffs. Right,

577
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 1: I'm sitting in the in the meeting room and I

578
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 1: and I was always just a guy. I was trying

579
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 1: to fit in, right. I wanted to make a career,

580
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 1: have a career, be a guy that you know what,

581
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 1: I think the biggest, biggest thing for most guys is

582
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 1: just earning the respect of the guys you play with

583
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 1: and the guys you play against, even right, you want

584
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 1: to earn their respect. And back then, the only the

585
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 1: only guys that people have got to vote on the

586
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl were the players on the teams and the coaches.

587
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 1: The coaches counted had one vote and the players. So

588
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 1: it was only the guys in the in on the

589
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 1: field that got to see, you know, got to say

590
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 1: who was in the Pro Bowl. Right. So I'm sitting

591
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 1: in a meeting room late in the season eighty seven

592
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 1: season and Walt Corey, the old defensive coordinator, you know,

593
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 1: the swizzle stick guy. Yeah, he comes in and I'm

594
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 1: just sitting there and you know, I wasn't thinking anything

595
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:57,840
Speaker 1: about it, and he comes in. He tasked me on

596
00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:00,160
Speaker 1: the on the which was unusual, you know, because those

597
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 1: guys you file in, you go sit down on it.

598
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 1: He comes over and he's sitting there and I feel

599
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 1: he's standing there and he tasked me and he holds

600
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 1: his hand down and he shakes my hand and he

601
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 1: whispers to me, he goes, you made the Pro He goes,

602
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 1: you made the Pro Bowl.

603
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:15,960
Speaker 2: Which was like the furthest thing from your brain.

604
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 1: It It was one of the happiest. It was one

605
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 1: of the happiest moments of my life because I really

606
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 1: felt validated, right, like somebody other than just a twelve

607
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 1: year old in Patre, somebody other than the guys I

608
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 1: played golf with on my team liked me right, thought

609
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 1: I right, other guys on my team. It was. It

610
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 1: was I've never it was a moment for me that

611
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 1: really really meant something. Really it still does still to

612
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:50,000

613
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 1: you know, of course, as soon as I could, I

614
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:54,960
Speaker 1: you know, ran and called and called the family, told

615
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 1: them it was a big deal. It was an absolute

616
00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 1: Monumental was a bigger deal back then. It was because

617
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 1: of the fact that vote it was like a circus.

618
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 1: It was only it was only players and coaches that voted,

619
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 1: and they played a real game like you saw some

620
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,359
Speaker 1: of the highlights playing. It used to be a real

621
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:15,759
Speaker 1: football game, and it was so awesome to be out there,

622
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:18,880
Speaker 1: so awesome to be out there, and you know, obviously

623
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,759
Speaker 1: I you know, I went that time, and then the

624
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 1: next year, I wasn't in it for like two years.

625
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 1: I wasn't in it in that was eight after the

626
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:30,319
Speaker 1: eighty seven season. So I wasn't in it after the

627
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 1: eighty eight season when we were twelve and four, and

628
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:33,719
Speaker 1: I wasn't in it after the eighty nine season when

629
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 1: we were the bickering Bills, and then in ninety the

630
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 1: Super Bowl year, I got back in it and went

631
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:44,759
Speaker 1: six more times. It was I'll never forget that, that

632
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:49,280
Speaker 1: feeling of getting named for the first time. There's something

633
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:53,839
Speaker 1: in it, man, There's really something in it. And I'll

634
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 1: never forget. That was the most That was one of

635
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:58,759
Speaker 1: the most memorable and most meaningful moments of my entire

636
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 1: career and maybe even my entire life, being in that

637
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 1: in that realm and that profession and looking like I

638
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:11,400
Speaker 1: did you know, look, you know, like I didn't belong

639
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 1: you beat the odds, Yeah, very much so. And then

640
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 1: to have then to find out that all of those

641
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:21,040
Speaker 1: guys out there somewhere in my conference in the AFC,

642
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:24,719
Speaker 1: all the all the Howie Long's and the Marcus you know,

643
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:28,880
Speaker 1: and Marcus Allen's and the you know, Dan Marinos and

644
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:30,400
Speaker 1: all those guys out there voted for me.

645
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:33,960
Speaker 2: Was yeah, because your own teammates cannot vote for us,

646
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 2: you can vote for a player on your team for

647
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:40,759
Speaker 2: the Pro Bowl. Now, I will say that back in

648
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 2: the old days, even before your time, you'd have two

649
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 2: guys from one team called two guys from the other team, like, hey, vote.

650
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:50,920
Speaker 1: For this guy for us, and for your guy for

651
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 1: you and one one thing there. There's always some of that.

652
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:56,759
Speaker 1: But also it was like, I didn't vote for like

653
00:35:56,800 --> 00:36:00,880
Speaker 1: the defensive end for the team, are you our special

654
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:02,920
Speaker 1: teams guys would vote for their special for the special

655
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 1: teams guy, and the offensive line would vote for the

656
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 1: defensive lineman and that kind of thing. So because they knew, right,

657
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 1: those are the guys that gave them pro right, those

658
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 1: are the guys that were pushing against so uh and

659
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:14,840
Speaker 1: the kickers and punters were you know, you used to

660
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 1: go to the stat sheet basically and say, okay, yeah,

661
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:18,759
Speaker 1: this is the guy and he killed us too. So

662
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:23,279
Speaker 1: that kind of thing I I was, I can't I

663
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 1: can't even put into words what it meant. I really can't.

664
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:26,720
Speaker 2: It's awesome.

665
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:30,160
Speaker 1: I can't even put into words what it meant for

666
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:33,719
Speaker 1: for me when I when that first happened to me,

667
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:37,480
Speaker 1: it was it was a moment I just I you know,

668
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 1: I can't even put into words. It was so unbelievably

669
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 1: off the charts, like I never thought that would ever

670
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:48,839
Speaker 1: happen to me. Yeah, so that's my that's my most

671
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:53,920
Speaker 1: memorable Pro Bowl moment. Happened before I ever played.

672
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:56,840
Speaker 2: Ever got there. Yeah, that's cool. So that has excuse me,

673
00:36:56,920 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 2: mister Tasker. Congrats to David, who's gonna get a premium

674

Speaker 2: mystery box of signed items courtesy of Total Sports Enterprises.

675
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 2: Let's go to the phones, though, is the OBL Friday

676
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:12,320
Speaker 2: fan mail bag is open and leading us off today

677
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:14,399
Speaker 2: is Kevin and Hamburg. What do you got first?

678
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:16,799
Speaker 4: Kevin, Hey, guys, how you doing. Thanks for taking my

679
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:18,240
Speaker 4: call and hoping a nice holiday.

680
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 2: Yeah. Thanks, We did the thing I worry.

681
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:24,239
Speaker 4: About that, I'm sure, the building wing obviously, the playoffs,

682
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:27,320
Speaker 4: the way they've been playing, even though they start off slow.

683
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,240
Speaker 4: But the two teams I worry the most. You always

684
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:32,319
Speaker 4: have those two teams you worry about, Like last couple

685
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 4: of years, either of the Bengals or the Chiefs. Mostly

686
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:38,520
Speaker 4: the Chiefs. But the two teams I worry about are

687
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 4: both from the AFC North, and that would be borrowing

688
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:44,399
Speaker 4: the more he was rocking and rolling like crazy. And Cleveland,

689
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:48,440
Speaker 4: who's like Joe Flacco, has found his fountain of youth

690
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:51,600
Speaker 4: or something, because Cleveland has not played this cold in

691
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:53,879
Speaker 4: the play or getting into the playoffs since the year

692
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:56,920
Speaker 4: Baker took him to the playoffs when he clunked the

693
00:37:56,960 --> 00:38:00,200
Speaker 4: Steelers with all those turnovers. But they have been them

694
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:02,759
Speaker 4: but a circus. But I don't know if Blacks found

695
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:04,840
Speaker 4: the fountain of you that he met up with a

696
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:07,279
Speaker 4: spirit of Punts Davie on the guy who greened it

697
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:09,919
Speaker 4: or something. I don't know, but I worry about them

698
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:13,360
Speaker 4: because they just looked like I think they're so loosey goosey,

699
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:16,799
Speaker 4: and and I remember when the when the Readers won

700
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:19,439
Speaker 4: their Super Bowl as the first wild card team. That's

701
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:21,719
Speaker 4: the same way they felt with plunk it. No, wasn't

702
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:24,319
Speaker 4: exciting to do anything, said the hell with it? Why

703
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:25,279
Speaker 4: you know what I mean?

704
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:29,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess you're right, and I would agree with you.

705
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 1: It's it's Baltimore, Cleveland, Buffalo, both you know, Baltimore Buffalo, Cleveland, Cleveland, Baltimore, Buffalo.

706
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:37,840
Speaker 1: You can put it in any order you want, but

707
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:39,879
Speaker 1: I think those two three teams are the ones who

708
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:43,480
Speaker 1: are and I think Cleveland's in the conversation a lot

709
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 1: because of their record.

710
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:46,320
Speaker 2: I mean, their defense is ridiculous.

711
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:48,640
Speaker 1: They're eleven and five, so they're you know, they're as

712
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 1: good as Miami Dolphin's record right now, and they're better

713
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 1: quarterback right and they're doing it with four different starting quarterbacks.

714
00:38:55,160 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 1: That's and I think that's a story that is worthy of.

715
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:03,080
Speaker 1: It's not just the story. They're playing good.

716
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:05,840
Speaker 2: Stefanski's probably going to get his second coach of the year.

717
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:12,919
Speaker 1: Right, So we'll see what happens when it shakes out.

718
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 1: But don't forget Cleveland's locked in. They're not going. The

719
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 1: Bills have yet to secures a playoff spot. They might

720
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:24,920
Speaker 1: not even get in. And if the Bills don't get in,

721
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:27,239
Speaker 1: you can bet it's going to be Cleveland Baltimore at

722
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 1: some point for the whole conference. They're just playing too well.

723
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:36,880
Speaker 1: And I think Flacco hit it just right. I mean

724
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:39,840
Speaker 1: he didn't. He's not in the grind of a seventeen

725
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:42,719
Speaker 1: game season. He's in the grind of like a six

726
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:46,879
Speaker 1: game season. That's different for a guy his age.

727
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:50,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, a thirty eight year old quarterback can navigate that, right,

728
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 2: because it's an abbreviated season as far as he's concerned.

729
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 1: Right, So he's got probably enough in the tank. But

730
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 1: I agree with you, Kevin. I mean, it's it's bolt

731
00:39:57,480 --> 00:39:59,759
Speaker 1: you got to give to Baltimore. They're thirteen and three,

732
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:02,880
Speaker 1: They've won close games, they've won convincingly. They beat the Dolphins,

733
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:05,840
Speaker 1: who are that right now? The two seed thumped them,

734
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:11,480
Speaker 1: albeit at home. Jackson and Kansas City and Jacksonville Kansas

735
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:13,160
Speaker 1: City is not the same team all. We can all

736
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:15,440
Speaker 1: see it, even a casual fan would see it. But

737
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:20,239
Speaker 1: Cleveland has steadily and methodically pushed their way to the

738
00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:23,719
Speaker 1: top of the heap as well. Buffalo has been, you know,

739
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:25,680
Speaker 1: up and down. There have been a roller coaster. Certainly,

740
00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:27,240
Speaker 1: you feel like they've got it under the hood somewhere,

741
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:30,239
Speaker 1: but they haven't shown it consistently. So yeah, you might

742
00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:32,800
Speaker 1: be right. It might be Baltimore Cleveland than Buffalo, although

743
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:35,439
Speaker 1: it may be seated differently when it all comes out.

744
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:38,279
Speaker 2: Nice job too with the Ponce de Leon reference too.

745
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:39,200
Speaker 2: That was for Joyce.

746
00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:40,560
Speaker 1: I did, Yes, the Fountain of Youth.

747
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:43,920
Speaker 2: That's right. I enjoy that. Let me know if you

748
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:46,799
Speaker 2: find it. Let's go back to the phones and to

749
00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:49,240
Speaker 2: Judy in Buffalo. What do you got for us? Judy?

750
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:54,879
Speaker 5: Okay, if I'm not mistaken, Miami had one of the

751
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:58,080
Speaker 5: easiest schedules of the year and the Bills had one

752
00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:03,719
Speaker 5: of the more difficult. And when Miami played Buffalo and Baltimore,

753
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 5: they were exposed. This is what gives me hope. I'm

754
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:15,080
Speaker 5: looking for Shakir, Kincaid, cooked and Sate throwing Davis and Diggs.

755
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 5: I think we can handle them.

756
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:22,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think Kinkaid and Shakir are two

757
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:26,279
Speaker 2: important parts of the offense, as well as Cook, who

758
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 2: had yet to emerge. The last time the Bills played

759
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:34,000
Speaker 2: the Dolphins back in Week four. Cook had not declared

760
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:36,239
Speaker 2: himself and stepped on the scene and said, I'm the

761
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:38,680
Speaker 2: lead dog in this offensive backfield for the Bills, and

762
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:42,520
Speaker 2: Kincaid had yet to string together any form of consistency.

763
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:45,920
Speaker 2: Was his fourth NFL game, and Shakier had not stepped

764
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:48,799
Speaker 2: into the role that he now finds himself. So I

765
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:55,880
Speaker 2: think that lends far more variance to the playmaking list

766
00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:58,480
Speaker 2: on the offensive side of the ball for the Bills,

767
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 2: and by virtue of that, I think it makes them

768
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:04,840
Speaker 2: a little more difficult to defend. And I think that

769
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:09,120
Speaker 2: comes at a good time because Diggs has had a

770
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:11,280
Speaker 2: little bit of a struggle here over this last stretch.

771
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:17,239
Speaker 1: Well, whether they're better offensively or not, they are a

772
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:20,359
Speaker 1: very different team to defend here in week eighteen than

773
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:23,400
Speaker 1: they were in week four. Very different. It was Diggs

774
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 1: and Davis and Dawson Knox, you know. Now it's Digs, Cook,

775
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:36,200
Speaker 1: Shakir and Kincaid. It's a it's a different mix, and

776
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:39,720
Speaker 1: that causes a different problem and it changes the matchup.

777
00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:39,839
Speaker 2: Now.

778
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:43,799
Speaker 1: I don't know about the strength of Miami's strength of

779
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:45,520
Speaker 1: victory wins on their.

780
00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:49,480
Speaker 2: Strength of schedule is four point thirty four winning percentage.

781
00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:52,200
Speaker 2: Their opponents have a total of one hundred and eleven wins.

782
00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:57,160
Speaker 2: That is lowest in the entire conference. Second on that list, though,

783
00:42:57,360 --> 00:43:00,960
Speaker 2: is Buffalo one hundred and seventeen wins their opponents.

784
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:04,279
Speaker 1: Because of the division they had they played, you know,

785
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:07,200
Speaker 1: they played the we England team, they played the AFC West.

786
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:09,280
Speaker 2: Well, and you also played a New England team that stunk.

787
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:12,439
Speaker 2: This year and a Jets team that grossly underachieved without

788
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:15,640
Speaker 2: their quarterback, so that kind of compromised.

789
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:19,120
Speaker 1: The Yeah, so the Buffalo's schedule, while it was slightly

790
00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:23,120
Speaker 1: more difficult, it was almost virtually the same as the

791
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:29,440
Speaker 1: Dolphins except for maybe one or two games. So yeah,

792
00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:31,880
Speaker 1: there's something in that. But I don't know them playing

793
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:33,920
Speaker 1: at home is going to really help them as much

794
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:36,560
Speaker 1: as it. I think it even helps them more than

795
00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:39,120
Speaker 1: it helps Buffalo. And Buffalo's at home, not because the

796
00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:44,000
Speaker 1: crowd's not good or whatever, but Buffalo plays better on

797
00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:46,680
Speaker 1: the road, so the gap is less, you know what

798
00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:49,640
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Buffalo's good on the road. They're pretty good

799
00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:51,440
Speaker 1: on the road there, I think, at least even on

800
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:53,440
Speaker 1: the road, I think four and four this year.

801
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:57,279
Speaker 2: They're three and they're three and four right now, road

802
00:43:57,320 --> 00:44:01,440
Speaker 2: game if you're not counting if you're not counting Jacksonville,

803
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:04,759
Speaker 2: which was technically a home game in London, they're three

804
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:09,279
Speaker 2: and four on the road this season. Speaking of going

805
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:11,440
Speaker 2: on the road, the Boys are headed to Miami to

Speaker 2: to make your appointment. Today, we have an update from Miami.

817
00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:10,320
Speaker 2: Looks like Tyreek Hill and Jalen Waddle, along with Raheem Mostert,

818
00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:15,040
Speaker 2: all returned to practice today. Waddle ran routes and caught

819
00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:20,239
Speaker 2: passes from Tua, so that is an update. He did

820
00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:23,520
Speaker 2: that in individual drills. No word yet on if he's

821
00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:29,000
Speaker 2: doing anything in team drills down there during Dolphin's practice today,

822
00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:34,160
Speaker 2: but certainly a lot more optimistic than we had been

823
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:38,080
Speaker 2: given inklings about earlier in the week. So we'll see.

824
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:42,920
Speaker 2: My estimation Steve is he's probably headed towards a questionable designation,

825
00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:46,640
Speaker 2: and they'll see how he feels right before game time.

826
00:45:47,480 --> 00:45:50,680
Speaker 1: You gotta think, you gotta think those players are going

827
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:51,200
Speaker 1: to do everything.

828
00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:52,480
Speaker 2: They are dying to play.

829
00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:55,000
Speaker 1: They are dying to play. The man, these are the

830
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:57,359
Speaker 1: games you get in the everybody just wants to play.

831
00:45:57,360 --> 00:45:58,600
Speaker 1: You just want to make the team. You want to

832
00:45:58,600 --> 00:45:59,640
Speaker 1: be good, and then all of a sudden you get

833
00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:02,080
Speaker 1: on the team, like okay, cool, listen, how good are

834
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:02,759
Speaker 1: we all really?

835
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:03,400
Speaker 5: This?

836
00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:07,759
Speaker 1: These kind of games are what it's all about, you had.

837
00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:11,040
Speaker 1: Everybody wants to play in these games. Every guy wants

838
00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:12,839
Speaker 1: to play in these games, even the guy. You know,

839
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:16,200
Speaker 1: the guys that are having horrible seasons with other teams

840
00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:18,719
Speaker 1: are like sitting at home going, man, you know, I

841
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:20,880
Speaker 1: want to I want the game to mean something. I

842
00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:22,600
Speaker 1: want to play it. You know. So you're sitting there

843
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:27,520
Speaker 1: and say, Waddle and Hill, Tua all those, they're all going,

844
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:31,640
Speaker 1: I can ikenberg. They're players. They're all going, I gotta

845
00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:33,600
Speaker 1: get on the field. I gotta get on the field

846
00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:35,000
Speaker 1: for this, right.

847
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:36,280
Speaker 2: Oh, they want to put the bills.

848
00:46:36,400 --> 00:46:37,560
Speaker 1: Gotta get on the field for this.

849
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:39,520
Speaker 2: They want to put the bills away once and for all.

850
00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:41,839
Speaker 2: They are tired of them winning this division. It's three

851
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:46,439
Speaker 2: seasons running. They're sick of it. And you know, I've

852
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:50,720
Speaker 2: talked to a couple of South Florida reporters who covered

853
00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:53,000
Speaker 2: the team, and they said they are sick of this

854
00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:56,319
Speaker 2: Bills team, sick of them, and they just want to

855
00:46:56,520 --> 00:46:59,759
Speaker 2: put them away once and for all. Take the number two.

856
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:01,440
Speaker 2: See he didn't make a run in the playoffs, but

857
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:05,759
Speaker 2: winning the division and dethroning the Bills is big on

858
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:08,799
Speaker 2: their list. Make no mistake about it. The other thing

859
00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:12,080
Speaker 2: you shouldn't make a mistake about. He's a And I'll

860
00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:16,399
Speaker 2: quote Rudy tom Janovitch here, former NBA player and head

861
00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:19,319
Speaker 2: coach of the Houston Rockets who won back to back

862
00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:21,520
Speaker 2: titles in the two years that Michael Jordan was out

863
00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:26,560
Speaker 2: of basketball, and he said, never underestimate the heart of

864
00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:29,439
Speaker 2: a champion. And last I checked, the Bills are three

865
00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:33,120
Speaker 2: time division champs. So yeah, that's the other side.

866
00:47:33,160 --> 00:47:37,359
Speaker 1: Think about Think about this now, the Bills, they they

867
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:41,520
Speaker 1: couldn't they couldn't be in a better spot because it

868
00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:44,560
Speaker 1: is all in the on the line for them. Everything's

869
00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:49,800
Speaker 1: on the line, the season, perhaps the postseason, perhaps this

870
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:51,279
Speaker 1: this could be. If they don't play well, it's the

871
00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:53,919
Speaker 1: last game of the year, they're done. There. That swing

872
00:47:53,960 --> 00:47:56,160
Speaker 1: at the that chance at the ring, is swing at

873
00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:59,960
Speaker 1: the fence that you know, they're slice of the pie

874
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:03,680
Speaker 1: is gone if they don't win this game. They got

875
00:48:03,880 --> 00:48:10,160
Speaker 1: to win this game. Gotta win it. This is and

876
00:48:10,200 --> 00:48:12,880
Speaker 1: that's exactly where you want to be, you know. So

877
00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:14,640
Speaker 1: what you know, So we'll see if they you know,

878
00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:16,560
Speaker 1: if they can rise up. We've seen them do it before.

879
00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:19,000
Speaker 1: I mean they like we've we've been talking about. One

880
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:21,680
Speaker 1: of their criticisms has been they they played down to

881
00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:23,960
Speaker 1: their competition. They play up to their competition. Listen, you

882
00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:26,799
Speaker 1: got this is This is it, man. This is the

883
00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:29,000
Speaker 1: as good a competition as there isn't a division. These

884
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:32,680
Speaker 1: are the guys. You've been chasing them for three months.

885
00:48:33,840 --> 00:48:36,279
Speaker 2: And now you've caught them, and now you've caught them,

886
00:48:36,280 --> 00:48:37,359
Speaker 2: and now you can pass them.

887
00:48:37,400 --> 00:48:39,120
Speaker 1: You can nip them right at the wire.

888
00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:39,719
Speaker 2: Yep.

889
00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:43,839
Speaker 1: Oh man, how fun is it gonna be? Like? Oh,

890
00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:45,959
Speaker 1: let's go. Yeah.

891
00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:50,480
Speaker 2: There are some updates concerning player availability for other games

892
00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:55,520
Speaker 2: that impact Buffalo's playoff status. Minka Fitzpatrick and a land

893
00:48:55,600 --> 00:48:59,719
Speaker 2: And Roberts for the Steelers are questionable for Sunday's game

894
00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:03,160
Speaker 2: again against the Ravens, who are starting their backup quarterback

895
00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:06,239
Speaker 2: Tyler Huntley. Incidentally, along with the slew of others because

896
00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:08,400
Speaker 2: they're trying to rest their starters having the number one

897
00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:10,640
Speaker 2: seed locked up. But on the Steelers side of the

898
00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:15,759
Speaker 2: ledger Minka Fitzpatrick a Landon Roberts questionable. They have elevated

899
00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:19,600
Speaker 2: linebacker Miles Jack and safety Eric Rowe from the practice squad,

900
00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:23,480
Speaker 2: so it seems like Roberts has a better chance to

901
00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:27,440
Speaker 2: play than Fitzpatrick, according to NFL Networks Ian Rapaport, but

902
00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:32,480
Speaker 2: neither have been ruled out. Meanwhile, Ryan Tannehill is going

903
00:49:32,560 --> 00:49:36,920
Speaker 2: to start at quarterback for the Titans. Will levis not

904
00:49:37,080 --> 00:49:40,440
Speaker 2: fit enough to play, so it could be back up

905
00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:42,800
Speaker 2: against backup in that game because I haven't seen anything

906
00:49:42,800 --> 00:49:47,640
Speaker 2: definitive on Trevor Lawrence as of yet. Was ify all weak.

907
00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:50,000
Speaker 1: If you're Tennessee, though, you gotta feel good about having

908
00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:52,480
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill ready to come in. I mean, good grief

909
00:49:52,600 --> 00:49:53,320
Speaker 1: that guy's.

910
00:49:54,360 --> 00:49:57,120
Speaker 2: And just to remind everybody, the Bills need Pittsburgh or

911
00:49:57,239 --> 00:50:01,640
Speaker 2: Jacksonville to lose this week, sons See will start Ryan Tannehill.

912
00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:04,520
Speaker 2: Who Jacksonville starts at quarterback is still to be determined.

913
00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:07,320
Speaker 2: It could be CJ. Bethard, it could be Trevor Lawrence.

914
00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:10,040
Speaker 2: And then the Steelers are going with Mason Rudolph at

915
00:50:10,120 --> 00:50:14,839
Speaker 2: quarterback against Baltimore's backup QB Tyler Huntley. So you've been

916
00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:18,880
Speaker 2: updated on the games that impact the Bills this weekend,

917
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:23,360
Speaker 2: and obviously those games will be played and completed before

918
00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:26,160
Speaker 2: the Bills even take the field. Break time for us here.

00:51:34,080 --> 00:51:37,960
Speaker 2: co Sale's appearance is presented by Scott Lonyard, an official

927
00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:41,840
Speaker 2: commercial site work partner of the Buffalo Bills. Well, Greg,

928
00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:46,320
Speaker 2: this is the last game of the regular season, number

929
00:51:46,360 --> 00:51:52,440
Speaker 2: two seventy two. Yeah, and it's for all the division marbles.

930
00:51:53,120 --> 00:51:55,840
Speaker 2: You couldn't ask for something better in prime time, I suppose,

931
00:51:55,880 --> 00:51:58,840
Speaker 2: although I imagine Bills and Dolphins fans are gonna be

932
00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:01,840
Speaker 2: biting their fingernails the whole game, I.

933
00:52:01,840 --> 00:52:06,360
Speaker 3: Would imagine, so, and uh, I guess obviously the Bills

934
00:52:06,400 --> 00:52:07,280
Speaker 3: want to win the division.

935
00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:07,799
Speaker 1: We know that.

936
00:52:07,840 --> 00:52:10,080
Speaker 3: But they'll know before the game whether you know, they

937
00:52:10,120 --> 00:52:12,080
Speaker 3: could be in the playoffs before the game starts. But

938
00:52:12,080 --> 00:52:13,799
Speaker 3: they'll still want to win the division and get the

939
00:52:13,840 --> 00:52:14,600
Speaker 3: number two seed.

940
00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:17,480
Speaker 1: Oh absolutely. And so the same thing with the Dolphins.

941
00:52:17,480 --> 00:52:19,279
Speaker 1: I mean, there's no way they're gonna I mean, they've

942
00:52:19,280 --> 00:52:21,680
Speaker 1: got a lot of guys on the injury report. Uh,

943
00:52:21,719 --> 00:52:23,359
Speaker 1: and I think it's gonna be I think it's gonna

944
00:52:23,360 --> 00:52:26,720
Speaker 1: be an all hands on deck situation. They even without

945
00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:29,759
Speaker 1: a week off, playing at home for those guys is

946
00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:32,359
Speaker 1: gonna make all the difference in the world. Yeah. Yeah.

947
00:52:32,360 --> 00:52:35,160
Speaker 1: One thing I want to ask you about in this matchup,

948
00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:38,000
Speaker 1: one of the things that we maybe feel like the

949
00:52:38,040 --> 00:52:42,080
Speaker 1: Bills have the edge in is the offensive the Dolphin

950
00:52:42,120 --> 00:52:45,279
Speaker 1: offensive line against the Bills defensive line, because obviously they've

951
00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:48,640
Speaker 1: got a couple of guys nicked up. Sure, and plus,

952
00:52:48,800 --> 00:52:51,399
Speaker 1: give us an idea of how the Dolphins offensive line

953
00:52:51,400 --> 00:52:55,080
Speaker 1: has played, how they're expected to play, you know, and

954
00:52:55,160 --> 00:52:58,640
Speaker 1: how they fare in you the conversation with other offensive

955
00:52:58,680 --> 00:53:00,080
Speaker 1: lines around the league, where they stack up.

956
00:53:00,719 --> 00:53:02,960
Speaker 3: Well I think Steve, it's a little different with the

957
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:06,120
Speaker 3: Dolphins in this regard. The nature of their pass game

958
00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:09,520
Speaker 3: is such that the burden is not placed as much

959
00:53:09,680 --> 00:53:11,880
Speaker 3: on it on their O line as it might be

960
00:53:11,960 --> 00:53:15,239
Speaker 3: for some other pass games because when they're clicking, and

961
00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:16,680
Speaker 3: you know, we can get into that in a moment,

962
00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:20,120
Speaker 3: but when they're clicking, Tua hits his back foot, the

963
00:53:20,160 --> 00:53:23,279
Speaker 3: ball gets out. I'm almost certain his snap to throw

964
00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:27,080
Speaker 3: is the quickest in the NFL, So they can play

965
00:53:27,160 --> 00:53:31,279
Speaker 3: with theoretically less than quality offensive lineman. Now, having said that,

966
00:53:31,560 --> 00:53:34,520
Speaker 3: there's still going to be long yardage situations in the game.

967
00:53:34,680 --> 00:53:37,799
Speaker 3: There are in every game, and that's where I think

968
00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:42,359
Speaker 3: the Bills defensive line really has to show the advantage.

969
00:53:42,440 --> 00:53:44,879
Speaker 3: And let's keep in mind too that Jones ninety two

970
00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:47,480
Speaker 3: is now Backdkwon Jones and he may have had the

971
00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:50,640
Speaker 3: best game of his career Week four against the Dolphins,

972
00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:52,719
Speaker 3: and he's back, and I thought he looked pretty good

973
00:53:52,719 --> 00:53:55,879
Speaker 3: on tape this week. So he's back, and I think

974
00:53:55,880 --> 00:53:57,800
Speaker 3: that's a big deal for the Bills.

975
00:53:57,920 --> 00:54:00,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, especially knowing they're going against a bat center and

976
00:54:00,680 --> 00:54:04,640
Speaker 2: Liam Eikenberg who didn't play center until this season and

977
00:54:04,640 --> 00:54:07,440
Speaker 2: as a matter of fact, it was his first start

978
00:54:07,480 --> 00:54:10,840
Speaker 2: at center here in Week four because Connor Williams was

979
00:54:10,880 --> 00:54:12,839
Speaker 2: injured for that game as well. I know he's out

980
00:54:12,840 --> 00:54:14,799
Speaker 2: for the year now, but he was injured for that

981
00:54:14,840 --> 00:54:17,560
Speaker 2: game and they had a monumental problem in the middle

982
00:54:17,560 --> 00:54:19,400
Speaker 2: of that line with him in there in the pivot.

983
00:54:19,440 --> 00:54:22,280
Speaker 2: He's more experienced now, but still could be an issue

984
00:54:22,320 --> 00:54:22,760
Speaker 2: for sure.

985
00:54:23,320 --> 00:54:26,120
Speaker 3: And the other thing you say that, Brownie, if I

986
00:54:26,160 --> 00:54:28,640
Speaker 3: could just jump on, yeah, we know ed Oliver's playing

987
00:54:28,680 --> 00:54:31,000
Speaker 3: really good football. But the one other thing that stands

988
00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:34,239
Speaker 3: out to me watching the Bills defense is they've been

989
00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:37,560
Speaker 3: really effective with what we call t T stunts tackle

990
00:54:37,640 --> 00:54:40,120
Speaker 3: tackle stunts, and I think when you're playing against the

991
00:54:40,160 --> 00:54:42,840
Speaker 3: center who does not have a lot of experience, and

992
00:54:43,160 --> 00:54:45,400
Speaker 3: then it becomes a mental part as well as a

993
00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:48,239
Speaker 3: physical part. You know, I think there's an advantage there.

994
00:54:48,560 --> 00:54:50,880
Speaker 2: All right, So let's let's take that a step forward,

995
00:54:50,960 --> 00:54:54,640
Speaker 2: because I was going to ask you about the job

996
00:54:54,680 --> 00:54:57,400
Speaker 2: that Sean McDermott has done. Is this defensive play caller.

997
00:54:57,440 --> 00:55:01,280
Speaker 2: It looks like they have successfully recalibrated from the losses

998
00:55:01,680 --> 00:55:05,520
Speaker 2: of Jones, Milano White, Rasul Douglas has been a revelation

999
00:55:05,640 --> 00:55:09,160
Speaker 2: as a deadline acquisition with six takeaways in seven games

1000
00:55:09,200 --> 00:55:12,680
Speaker 2: played with the Bills. But for me and my money,

1001
00:55:13,200 --> 00:55:17,640
Speaker 2: it's the simulated pressures. It's the exotic and aggressive nature

1002
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:21,440
Speaker 2: of this defense that is in most stark contrast to

1003
00:55:21,520 --> 00:55:24,759
Speaker 2: what we saw this defense do under Leslie Frasier. There

1004
00:55:24,760 --> 00:55:28,520
Speaker 2: are clearly more splash plays. They've got fifty three sacks

1005
00:55:28,520 --> 00:55:30,960
Speaker 2: on the season, good for third in the league, and

1006
00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:33,600
Speaker 2: I think they're up to like eighty three quarterback hits.

1007
00:55:33,960 --> 00:55:37,080
Speaker 2: They have a chance to tie or break the franchise

1008
00:55:37,160 --> 00:55:41,040
Speaker 2: record of fifty seven sacks set back in twenty thirteen.

1009
00:55:41,719 --> 00:55:45,600
Speaker 2: What do you feel has made them so effective? Because

1010
00:55:45,640 --> 00:55:47,719
Speaker 2: they look like they're playing their best ball of the

1011
00:55:47,760 --> 00:55:49,799
Speaker 2: season on defense right now.

1012
00:55:50,760 --> 00:55:53,719
Speaker 3: I would say two things. One is schematic and one

1013
00:55:53,800 --> 00:55:56,480
Speaker 3: is an individual who I really think deserves to be

1014
00:55:56,560 --> 00:56:00,480
Speaker 3: spoken about, who we probably would not have thought that

1015
00:56:00,560 --> 00:56:03,600
Speaker 3: going into the season. You made a great point about

1016
00:56:03,600 --> 00:56:06,400
Speaker 3: the simulated pressures. I mean, this past week was just

1017
00:56:06,440 --> 00:56:09,600
Speaker 3: an example. Obviously they're not the Patriots are not one

1018
00:56:09,640 --> 00:56:11,839
Speaker 3: of the better offenses in the league, but that's irrelevant.

1019
00:56:11,920 --> 00:56:14,880
Speaker 3: It's what the Bills are doing schematically. The first half,

1020
00:56:14,920 --> 00:56:19,759
Speaker 3: they showed multiple rush concepts. All of them featured four

1021
00:56:19,840 --> 00:56:22,200
Speaker 3: man pressures, and they were not all four man D

1022
00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:25,799
Speaker 3: line pressures. They were what you call simulated pressures. I

1023
00:56:25,920 --> 00:56:28,640
Speaker 3: call them zone exchanges for the most part, although at

1024
00:56:28,640 --> 00:56:32,080
Speaker 3: times they did play man behind it. But essentially they're

1025
00:56:32,160 --> 00:56:36,719
Speaker 3: rushing four, but one or two of those four is

1026
00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:40,319
Speaker 3: either a linebacker a defensive back. So that's what we

1027
00:56:40,400 --> 00:56:44,560
Speaker 3: call simulated pressures. They're really really good at that. And

1028
00:56:45,080 --> 00:56:48,400
Speaker 3: you know, for instance, I can't remember, I'm trying to

1029
00:56:48,400 --> 00:56:51,759
Speaker 3: remember the Douglas interception return for a touchdown that was

1030
00:56:51,760 --> 00:56:54,879
Speaker 3: actually a five man pressure where Poyer and Hyde were

1031
00:56:54,920 --> 00:56:59,080
Speaker 3: both part of the rush. Zappi recognized it. Jalen Rager

1032
00:56:59,120 --> 00:57:02,600
Speaker 3: did not. But the other the player I really think

1033
00:57:02,719 --> 00:57:04,960
Speaker 3: is so critical in this game and has had a

1034
00:57:05,040 --> 00:57:08,799
Speaker 3: sensational year. As to l Bernard, He's played at a

1035
00:57:08,840 --> 00:57:11,160
Speaker 3: really high level. And I think we see every week

1036
00:57:11,200 --> 00:57:13,759
Speaker 3: when you look at the Dolphins pass game, because it's

1037
00:57:13,760 --> 00:57:19,280
Speaker 3: so timing and rhythmic based, those underneath defenders are absolutely critical,

1038
00:57:20,320 --> 00:57:22,120
Speaker 3: and I think, you know, we saw it last week

1039
00:57:22,120 --> 00:57:25,040
Speaker 3: when they played Baltimore and how important Rokwan Smith and

1040
00:57:25,120 --> 00:57:30,000
Speaker 3: Queen war Patrick Queen for the for the Ravens. So

1041
00:57:30,120 --> 00:57:33,000
Speaker 3: I think Bernard, who, like I said, I think he's

1042
00:57:33,040 --> 00:57:36,000
Speaker 3: had a really fantastic season. He's been really good in

1043
00:57:36,080 --> 00:57:39,040
Speaker 3: past coverage when needed, he's been a very good blitzer.

1044
00:57:39,840 --> 00:57:42,479
Speaker 3: I think he's a really critical player in this game.

1045
00:57:43,760 --> 00:57:45,360
Speaker 1: And I don't know how much you remember from the

1046
00:57:45,400 --> 00:57:48,560
Speaker 1: first matchup about how was coming in, both teams flying

1047
00:57:48,640 --> 00:57:51,400
Speaker 1: really high offensively off the last couple of weeks. You know,

1048
00:57:51,440 --> 00:57:53,120
Speaker 1: the Dolphins were three and zero at the time, and

1049
00:57:53,160 --> 00:57:55,520
Speaker 1: the Bills had just hung a ton of points on

1050
00:57:55,560 --> 00:57:58,480
Speaker 1: the Commanders and the Raiders, and the Bills come out

1051
00:57:58,480 --> 00:58:01,640
Speaker 1: with a big victory. What about is because of the

1052
00:58:01,880 --> 00:58:05,800
Speaker 1: personnel changes, because of the injuries, how different or if

1053
00:58:05,840 --> 00:58:07,320
Speaker 1: you can put it in a big picture. I don't

1054
00:58:07,320 --> 00:58:08,960
Speaker 1: know if you can step back from the film study,

1055
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:12,040
Speaker 1: but put in the big picture, how different these clubs are.

1056
00:58:12,120 --> 00:58:14,200
Speaker 1: I mean, everybody's a little different photogs for a couple

1057
00:58:14,240 --> 00:58:16,840
Speaker 1: of minutes, but these two teams are are in stark

1058
00:58:16,880 --> 00:58:18,240
Speaker 1: contrast where they were.

1059
00:58:19,600 --> 00:58:21,720
Speaker 3: Dark and you know, it's funny to play off with Brownie,

1060
00:58:21,760 --> 00:58:24,880
Speaker 3: said Steve. In that game, which was Week four, the

1061
00:58:24,960 --> 00:58:28,960
Speaker 3: Bills essentially just had a four man d line pass rush. Now,

1062
00:58:29,120 --> 00:58:31,920
Speaker 3: as we said, Jones had a phenomenal game, but they

1063
00:58:31,960 --> 00:58:35,720
Speaker 3: weren't doing much with the simulator pressures at that point. Now,

1064
00:58:35,760 --> 00:58:38,440
Speaker 3: they did a good job in that game with disguise

1065
00:58:38,520 --> 00:58:41,840
Speaker 3: and late coverage movement to get to their concepts. They

1066
00:58:41,840 --> 00:58:44,400
Speaker 3: played a lot of shell coverage, you know, which means

1067
00:58:44,600 --> 00:58:48,640
Speaker 3: too high safeties, which I would imagine they'll do again.

1068
00:58:48,920 --> 00:58:51,959
Speaker 3: That's the way most teams play the Dolphins, just because

1069
00:58:51,960 --> 00:58:55,400
Speaker 3: of the speed, although I think Wattle's not going to

1070
00:58:55,480 --> 00:59:00,600
Speaker 3: go from what I gather, Moster has not practiced all

1071
00:59:00,640 --> 00:59:02,840
Speaker 3: this week up to this point as we speak on

1072
00:59:02,880 --> 00:59:06,400
Speaker 3: Friday afternoon. A big X factor in my view for

1073
00:59:06,440 --> 00:59:08,680
Speaker 3: the Dolphins is Devin h Chin because he can really

1074
00:59:08,800 --> 00:59:11,360
Speaker 3: run and he can be used in multiple ways. But

1075
00:59:11,440 --> 00:59:15,120
Speaker 3: I think it's defensively where the Dolphins are really down people,

1076
00:59:15,520 --> 00:59:17,959
Speaker 3: and this is where the Bills have to play better

1077
00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:19,680
Speaker 3: on offense and they have to be better in the

1078
00:59:19,720 --> 00:59:22,440
Speaker 3: pass game. I think you guys would agree that Josh

1079
00:59:22,440 --> 00:59:25,680
Speaker 3: Allen did not play particularly well last week. He's missing

1080
00:59:25,720 --> 00:59:28,880
Speaker 3: some throws that he normally makes. He's been a little

1081
00:59:28,960 --> 00:59:32,320
Speaker 3: late turning the ball loose at times. But they're gonna

1082
00:59:32,320 --> 00:59:36,640
Speaker 3: be without Xavian Howard who's already been ruled out. Obviously,

1083
00:59:36,640 --> 00:59:39,960
Speaker 3: they didn't have Jalen Ramsey week four. He's a fantastic player.

1084
00:59:40,360 --> 00:59:42,600
Speaker 3: But we'll see what they do. I imagine it will

1085
00:59:42,600 --> 00:59:45,520
Speaker 3: be Eli Apple playing on the outside and not Kohu

1086
00:59:45,680 --> 00:59:49,640
Speaker 3: because we all remember week four what happened with Kohu.

1087
00:59:49,720 --> 00:59:53,520
Speaker 3: We just couldn't cover Stefan Diggs at all. And then

1088
00:59:53,520 --> 00:59:56,400
Speaker 3: they're missing pass rushers. You know, that's the thing. They're

1089
00:59:56,400 --> 01:00:01,400
Speaker 3: out chubbed, they're out Phillips, They're missing really he pass rushers. Now,

1090
01:00:01,440 --> 01:00:04,120
Speaker 3: Melvin Ingram has played snaps the last couple of weeks.

1091
01:00:04,480 --> 01:00:07,160
Speaker 3: I don't think he's looked particularly good on film, right.

1092
01:00:07,800 --> 01:00:11,880
Speaker 2: Melvin Ingram traditionally has given Dion Dawkins trouble. But I

1093
01:00:11,920 --> 01:00:14,640
Speaker 2: watched him last week against Baltimore. He looked ordinary to me.

1094
01:00:14,720 --> 01:00:15,760
Speaker 2: He didn't look like the Melvin.

1095
01:00:15,840 --> 01:00:16,920
Speaker 3: He looked overweight to me.

1096
01:00:17,040 --> 01:00:20,600
Speaker 2: Ste I would say that too. I would say I

1097
01:00:20,640 --> 01:00:22,280
Speaker 2: was trying to be nice. But yeah, you said it,

1098
01:00:22,320 --> 01:00:23,280
Speaker 2: and I'll go along with it.

1099
01:00:23,920 --> 01:00:26,160
Speaker 3: Well, I'm just looking at the film, yeah, trying to

1100
01:00:26,400 --> 01:00:28,840
Speaker 3: I know, I'm not trying to, you know, assassinate his character.

1101
01:00:28,920 --> 01:00:32,400
Speaker 1: No, No, he heavy, I get I get it.

1102
01:00:32,440 --> 01:00:35,200
Speaker 2: No, you're right, You're right he was. Let's let I

1103
01:00:35,240 --> 01:00:37,560
Speaker 2: want to segue me into my next question. I was

1104
01:00:37,560 --> 01:00:40,400
Speaker 2: going to ask you about the Dolphins defense. We know

1105
01:00:40,560 --> 01:00:45,800
Speaker 2: that Vic Fangio by trade typically takes away your easy

1106
01:00:45,800 --> 01:00:50,000
Speaker 2: button answers defensively and force his quarterbacks to be patient.

1107
01:00:50,800 --> 01:00:56,000
Speaker 2: Josh sometimes can get impatient, as we know, and then

1108
01:00:56,000 --> 01:00:57,919
Speaker 2: there are other times where he won't take the check

1109
01:00:58,000 --> 01:01:00,720
Speaker 2: down and hope to make a bigger play down, and

1110
01:01:00,760 --> 01:01:02,680
Speaker 2: then the structure of the play breaks down and he's

1111
01:01:02,720 --> 01:01:05,040
Speaker 2: running around doing off script stuff. He did that a

1112
01:01:05,040 --> 01:01:10,080
Speaker 2: lot last week. What do you anticipate Fangio's approach to

1113
01:01:10,280 --> 01:01:14,120
Speaker 2: be knowing he is down the pass rushers that you referenced,

1114
01:01:14,360 --> 01:01:17,160
Speaker 2: do you think he sticks to his model of taking

1115
01:01:17,160 --> 01:01:20,200
Speaker 2: away the easy button answers and forcing a quarterback like

1116
01:01:20,240 --> 01:01:23,000
Speaker 2: Allan to be patient or do you think he believes

1117
01:01:23,040 --> 01:01:26,960
Speaker 2: he needs to get exotic being down the personnel he

1118
01:01:27,120 --> 01:01:28,800
Speaker 2: is down.

1119
01:01:30,800 --> 01:01:33,720
Speaker 3: That's a great question because normally Vic is not exotic.

1120
01:01:33,760 --> 01:01:35,920
Speaker 3: But I tell you what, they're going to play better

1121
01:01:35,960 --> 01:01:38,600
Speaker 3: than they did last week, Brownie, because last week may

1122
01:01:38,640 --> 01:01:40,920
Speaker 3: have been the worst performance that I saw in film

1123
01:01:40,960 --> 01:01:44,520
Speaker 3: this year from Vic Fangio's dolphin defense. You probably watched it.

1124
01:01:44,800 --> 01:01:47,880
Speaker 3: There were receivers that were running free the entire game.

1125
01:01:48,360 --> 01:01:51,360
Speaker 3: Look it looked like they'd never seen motion before on

1126
01:01:51,440 --> 01:01:53,960
Speaker 3: a number of plays. So I would have to assume

1127
01:01:53,960 --> 01:01:56,200
Speaker 3: you're going to see some of that from the Bills,

1128
01:01:57,640 --> 01:02:01,200
Speaker 3: you know. I think with Josh you we've talked about

1129
01:02:01,200 --> 01:02:03,720
Speaker 3: this and it showed up again last week. You know,

1130
01:02:03,760 --> 01:02:06,640
Speaker 3: he does have a tendency to leave the pocket too

1131
01:02:06,720 --> 01:02:09,880
Speaker 3: early and not allow the offense and the pass game

1132
01:02:09,960 --> 01:02:12,320
Speaker 3: to work for him. And I think that's something he

1133
01:02:12,440 --> 01:02:15,240
Speaker 3: needs to continue to do better. He needs to let

1134
01:02:15,280 --> 01:02:19,240
Speaker 3: the pass game work for him as opposed to forcing

1135
01:02:19,480 --> 01:02:22,160
Speaker 3: the pass game. I mean, I'll give you a great example.

1136
01:02:22,200 --> 01:02:24,880
Speaker 3: I thought his best throw of the game. I mean

1137
01:02:24,920 --> 01:02:27,200
Speaker 3: the fifty one yarder Ti Kincaid obviously was a beautifully

1138
01:02:27,240 --> 01:02:30,040
Speaker 3: thrown ball and a great play, but I thought his

1139
01:02:30,240 --> 01:02:32,880
Speaker 3: best throw of the game. And you'll remember it for

1140
01:02:32,920 --> 01:02:35,160
Speaker 3: sure because it was actually critical. It was twenty seven

1141
01:02:35,200 --> 01:02:37,880
Speaker 3: to twenty one at the time, was eighteen yards to

1142
01:02:37,920 --> 01:02:40,960
Speaker 3: Shakier on second and fourteen in the fourth quarter from

1143
01:02:40,960 --> 01:02:44,080
Speaker 3: the ten yard line. You remember that play, yeah, I

1144
01:02:44,120 --> 01:02:47,400
Speaker 3: mean that was a play where he actually threw the ball.

1145
01:02:47,680 --> 01:02:50,000
Speaker 3: It was zone coverage and you had to throw it

1146
01:02:50,040 --> 01:02:53,400
Speaker 3: into a window. Okay, and you know how it is, Steve,

1147
01:02:53,480 --> 01:02:56,480
Speaker 3: you know this extremely well. You can't wait till the

1148
01:02:56,560 --> 01:02:59,919
Speaker 3: receiver gets in the window because then the backside under

1149
01:03:00,280 --> 01:03:03,200
Speaker 3: defender becomes a factor in the play. And he actually

1150
01:03:03,240 --> 01:03:08,760
Speaker 3: turned that loose before Shakir even broke behind the underneath defender.

1151
01:03:09,120 --> 01:03:11,440
Speaker 3: So to me, that was his best throw of the

1152
01:03:11,480 --> 01:03:14,840
Speaker 3: game because that was letting the play happen, reading the

1153
01:03:14,880 --> 01:03:18,240
Speaker 3: coverage correctly, and making the right throw. And I think

1154
01:03:18,320 --> 01:03:21,760
Speaker 3: he needs to do more of that because, like I said,

1155
01:03:21,800 --> 01:03:23,760
Speaker 3: and it's evident on film. I'm only telling you what

1156
01:03:23,800 --> 01:03:27,160
Speaker 3: the film shows. Guys, you know that he just leaves

1157
01:03:27,160 --> 01:03:30,440
Speaker 3: at times too early and there's just there's plays left

1158
01:03:30,480 --> 01:03:32,400
Speaker 3: on the field that need to be made.

1159
01:03:32,880 --> 01:03:35,000
Speaker 1: What do you think the Bills passing game should look

1160
01:03:35,080 --> 01:03:36,560
Speaker 1: like against this Miami defense?

1161
01:03:38,480 --> 01:03:44,120
Speaker 3: Well, you know, I think you have to go after Apple.

1162
01:03:44,960 --> 01:03:47,800
Speaker 3: He'll play outside. I'm almost positive. I think you do

1163
01:03:47,920 --> 01:03:49,680
Speaker 3: have to look at some one on one matchups on

1164
01:03:49,720 --> 01:03:53,920
Speaker 3: the outside. Ramsey is a phenomenal corner, and Ramsey is

1165
01:03:53,960 --> 01:03:56,480
Speaker 3: a great zone corner. He may be as good as

1166
01:03:56,520 --> 01:03:58,480
Speaker 3: zone corner as there is in the league. Even though

1167
01:03:58,480 --> 01:04:00,680
Speaker 3: many might think of him as a man to man player,

1168
01:04:00,840 --> 01:04:02,840
Speaker 3: but he hasn't done a ton of that in recent

1169
01:04:02,920 --> 01:04:05,600
Speaker 3: years with the Rams and this year under vic Fango,

1170
01:04:05,880 --> 01:04:08,760
Speaker 3: who's not a big believer in pure man, although he

1171
01:04:08,800 --> 01:04:13,640
Speaker 3: will play it on third down. You know, I'd really

1172
01:04:13,840 --> 01:04:17,880
Speaker 3: like to see Kincaid and Knox be factors in this game.

1173
01:04:17,920 --> 01:04:20,520
Speaker 3: I think that the tight ends can be factors in

1174
01:04:20,560 --> 01:04:23,840
Speaker 3: this game, but I'd like to see it be schematic

1175
01:04:24,760 --> 01:04:27,080
Speaker 3: because that's essentially what you have to do versus A

1176
01:04:27,280 --> 01:04:29,680
Speaker 3: When vic Fango's defense is playing well, I think you

1177
01:04:29,720 --> 01:04:33,040
Speaker 3: have to beat it schematically because it's it tends to

1178
01:04:33,080 --> 01:04:37,440
Speaker 3: be a lot of zone man principles sort of matching together.

1179
01:04:37,760 --> 01:04:40,320
Speaker 3: You know, it's a lot of match carry deliver and

1180
01:04:40,320 --> 01:04:42,720
Speaker 3: you got to be careful about that. You know, sometimes

1181
01:04:42,720 --> 01:04:45,000
Speaker 3: it might look like one thing and it's something else,

1182
01:04:45,280 --> 01:04:47,520
Speaker 3: so Josh has to be careful about that. I mean,

1183
01:04:47,560 --> 01:04:49,840
Speaker 3: all this will be talked about all week and has

1184
01:04:49,880 --> 01:04:52,120
Speaker 3: been talked about all week, as you know, because when

1185
01:04:52,120 --> 01:04:56,320
Speaker 3: they're playing well, vic Fangio's secondary is not easy to play.

1186
01:04:56,120 --> 01:04:59,479
Speaker 2: Against, which is why it would seem that the soft

1187
01:04:59,600 --> 01:05:02,760
Speaker 2: under of the Miami defenses at that second level Duke

1188
01:05:02,840 --> 01:05:06,200
Speaker 2: Riley got exposed last week in coverage on more than

1189
01:05:06,240 --> 01:05:10,040
Speaker 2: one occasion by Baltimore. Cook is I would argue, an

1190
01:05:10,080 --> 01:05:13,680
Speaker 2: even more dynamic athlete than a Justice Hill. So using

1191
01:05:13,760 --> 01:05:16,120
Speaker 2: him out of the backfield would seem to make sense.

1192
01:05:16,360 --> 01:05:20,320
Speaker 2: Whether it's whether it's Duke Riley or Jerome Baker comes

1193
01:05:20,360 --> 01:05:24,200
Speaker 2: back and starts, I think still advantage Buffalo there, and

1194
01:05:24,240 --> 01:05:26,680
Speaker 2: then Shakir and Kinkaid in the middle of the field too.

1195
01:05:26,760 --> 01:05:30,040
Speaker 2: I think the second Yeah, the second level is where

1196
01:05:30,040 --> 01:05:31,240
Speaker 2: they've got to attack here.

1197
01:05:31,240 --> 01:05:34,560
Speaker 3: I would think I would agree with that. I mean, look,

1198
01:05:34,560 --> 01:05:37,320
Speaker 3: we saw last week. You know they have been using

1199
01:05:37,360 --> 01:05:40,080
Speaker 3: Cook every place, not being complete. You know, we saw

1200
01:05:40,160 --> 01:05:42,040
Speaker 3: him miss a big play opportunity to Cook on the

1201
01:05:42,040 --> 01:05:45,640
Speaker 3: wheel versus Tabuai, the linebacker Johnny Tavaia last week late

1202
01:05:45,640 --> 01:05:47,680
Speaker 3: in the first quarter when Josh you know, left to

1203
01:05:47,720 --> 01:05:50,240
Speaker 3: two long and that of bounds. They have used Cook

1204
01:05:50,280 --> 01:05:53,720
Speaker 3: as a matchup weapon, even if it's zoned, because if

1205
01:05:53,720 --> 01:05:56,360
Speaker 3: you're going to run, you know, those sort of wheel

1206
01:05:56,440 --> 01:05:58,520
Speaker 3: routes or rail routes, whatever term you want to use,

1207
01:05:58,960 --> 01:06:02,280
Speaker 3: very often and under defender even in zone, has to

1208
01:06:02,360 --> 01:06:05,040
Speaker 3: run with that. So yeah, I agree with you. I

1209
01:06:05,080 --> 01:06:09,360
Speaker 3: think I think that this game. You know, we know

1210
01:06:09,440 --> 01:06:12,040
Speaker 3: that Digs for whatever reason, I certainly can't speak to this.

1211
01:06:12,560 --> 01:06:14,720
Speaker 3: Diggs has become less of a factor in the past

1212
01:06:14,720 --> 01:06:17,560
Speaker 3: game for whatever reason. But I think King Kaid has

1213
01:06:17,600 --> 01:06:20,440
Speaker 3: to be a factor. I think that Cook has to

1214
01:06:20,440 --> 01:06:21,120
Speaker 3: be a factor.

1215
01:06:21,440 --> 01:06:21,600
Speaker 1: You know.

1216
01:06:21,640 --> 01:06:24,240
Speaker 3: I think there's ways to attack this defense. But I

1217
01:06:24,280 --> 01:06:27,960
Speaker 3: think you do need to be patient. They'll take their shots,

1218
01:06:27,960 --> 01:06:29,800
Speaker 3: no question. I mean, look what they did last week.

1219
01:06:30,000 --> 01:06:33,600
Speaker 3: You know, obviously he just missed. You know, he overthrew

1220
01:06:33,640 --> 01:06:35,320
Speaker 3: Digs on what should have been a touchdown.

1221
01:06:35,440 --> 01:06:35,560
Speaker 4: Right.

1222
01:06:36,080 --> 01:06:37,920
Speaker 3: You know he's gonna have to make those throws in

1223
01:06:37,960 --> 01:06:38,440
Speaker 3: this game.

1224
01:06:39,680 --> 01:06:42,000
Speaker 1: Have you noticed anything about Digs in the way he's playing,

1225
01:06:42,080 --> 01:06:45,280
Speaker 1: the separation, the route running. Have you noticed anything out

1226
01:06:45,280 --> 01:06:47,800
Speaker 1: of kilter about his individual play?

1227
01:06:49,520 --> 01:06:49,600
Speaker 2: No?

1228
01:06:49,760 --> 01:06:51,880
Speaker 3: And in fact, it's funny you say that, because I

1229
01:06:51,880 --> 01:06:53,479
Speaker 3: have been looking, and I think there have been times

1230
01:06:53,480 --> 01:06:55,840
Speaker 3: where he's one on routes and the ball just hasn't

1231
01:06:55,840 --> 01:06:57,880
Speaker 3: gone to him. Now, I don't know, because I don't

1232
01:06:57,880 --> 01:07:00,520
Speaker 3: know the play call specifically, you know, I mean I

1233
01:07:00,520 --> 01:07:03,000
Speaker 3: can see that the route steve as they develop, but

1234
01:07:03,080 --> 01:07:05,000
Speaker 3: I don't know how they teach it, you know, and

1235
01:07:05,040 --> 01:07:07,120
Speaker 3: how they you know, how they want it thrown based

1236
01:07:07,160 --> 01:07:10,439
Speaker 3: on who's primary, who's secondary. But I mean I see

1237
01:07:10,520 --> 01:07:14,040
Speaker 3: many examples where he wins on routes, but maybe he's

1238
01:07:14,040 --> 01:07:15,720
Speaker 3: not in that particular progression.

1239
01:07:17,120 --> 01:07:19,360
Speaker 2: Yeah. And then last thing for you, Greg, for me

1240
01:07:20,400 --> 01:07:25,800
Speaker 2: back to the Fangio defense, knowing that maybe the linebackers

1241
01:07:25,840 --> 01:07:30,479
Speaker 2: are a mismatch in coverage for them, could you see

1242
01:07:30,520 --> 01:07:35,840
Speaker 2: them using more of their dime and dollar personnel in

1243
01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:41,720
Speaker 2: obvious passing situations, knowing their pass rush may suffer. Maybe

1244
01:07:41,760 --> 01:07:44,760
Speaker 2: put more dbs on the field so you're better in coverage.

1245
01:07:46,080 --> 01:07:49,440
Speaker 3: Yeah. And I also think that helps too when Josh

1246
01:07:49,600 --> 01:07:52,120
Speaker 3: leaves the pocket, because you have better athletes. So I

1247
01:07:52,680 --> 01:07:55,720
Speaker 3: could easily see that for sure. Now they won't do

1248
01:07:55,800 --> 01:07:57,880
Speaker 3: that on second and four, but I think you know

1249
01:07:57,920 --> 01:07:59,800
Speaker 3: you're right. If it's third and nine, third and ten,

1250
01:08:00,120 --> 01:08:04,800
Speaker 3: I think you'll you'll absolutely see that. Yeah, it just

1251
01:08:04,840 --> 01:08:07,200
Speaker 3: makes sense because you just you know, we don't know

1252
01:08:07,240 --> 01:08:09,600
Speaker 3: about Baker. I guess he's in the in the window

1253
01:08:09,640 --> 01:08:11,160
Speaker 3: whatever they call that, but we don't know if he's

1254
01:08:11,160 --> 01:08:11,919
Speaker 3: going to play this week.

1255
01:08:11,960 --> 01:08:15,320
Speaker 2: Yeah. Right. McDaniel said today he has had no setbacks,

1256
01:08:15,640 --> 01:08:18,160
Speaker 2: so he's looking like he'll be back. I think they're

1257
01:08:18,640 --> 01:08:21,280
Speaker 2: they're they're speculating as to whether they'll just throw him

1258
01:08:21,280 --> 01:08:24,040
Speaker 2: back in the lineup or kind of ease him back in,

1259
01:08:24,200 --> 01:08:26,360
Speaker 2: knowing he hasn't played for four weeks. The speed of

1260
01:08:26,400 --> 01:08:28,800
Speaker 2: the game, as you know, it takes some adjustment when

1261
01:08:28,800 --> 01:08:30,759
Speaker 2: you're just thrown back in after a month layoff.

1262
01:08:31,479 --> 01:08:33,360
Speaker 3: So it's going to be there. Are there edge rusher

1263
01:08:33,439 --> 01:08:34,799
Speaker 3: is going to be Ingram and Ogba.

1264
01:08:35,080 --> 01:08:39,080
Speaker 2: I think it might be Van Ginkle, Andan Ginkle and

1265
01:08:39,080 --> 01:08:41,920
Speaker 2: then Ingram and Ogba I think are going to rotate.

1266
01:08:43,240 --> 01:08:45,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, well the other factor too and I don't know

1267
01:08:45,439 --> 01:08:48,200
Speaker 3: what they'll do. I guess much would depend on Baker is.

1268
01:08:48,280 --> 01:08:50,400
Speaker 3: We've seen Van Ginkle throughout the course of this year

1269
01:08:50,439 --> 01:08:53,320
Speaker 3: also play off the ball, So we'll see what they

1270
01:08:53,360 --> 01:08:56,559
Speaker 3: think is their best approach in this game. Because you're

1271
01:08:56,560 --> 01:08:59,559
Speaker 3: playing a little different quarterback in Josh Allen, because obviously

1272
01:08:59,680 --> 01:09:02,680
Speaker 3: Josh and can make plays that other quarterbacks can and

1273
01:09:02,720 --> 01:09:06,080
Speaker 3: he can certainly do it second reaction movement, So you know,

1274
01:09:06,200 --> 01:09:08,360
Speaker 3: you're just playing with a little different, you know, physical

1275
01:09:08,400 --> 01:09:11,840
Speaker 3: animal here, and that sometimes can necessitate doing some things

1276
01:09:11,880 --> 01:09:12,799
Speaker 3: a little bit differently.

1277
01:09:13,479 --> 01:09:16,280
Speaker 1: Last one for me, Greg, the Bills are one of

1278
01:09:16,320 --> 01:09:18,040
Speaker 1: the few teams if maybe I don't know, I haven't

1279
01:09:18,120 --> 01:09:19,760
Speaker 1: checked it out, maybe were the few teams in the

1280
01:09:19,880 --> 01:09:21,920
Speaker 1: entire league that have played the same five guys of

1281
01:09:22,000 --> 01:09:26,759
Speaker 1: the offensive line, all five spots all year. They've they've

1282
01:09:27,040 --> 01:09:31,120
Speaker 1: sprinkled in David Andrews, David Edwards time or two, you know,

1283
01:09:31,200 --> 01:09:33,040
Speaker 1: for the extra offensive I mean, all of that stuff.

1284
01:09:33,160 --> 01:09:34,920
Speaker 1: But those five guys are gone. How have they played?

1285
01:09:34,960 --> 01:09:36,640
Speaker 1: Give me, give me a kind of big picture of

1286
01:09:36,640 --> 01:09:38,120
Speaker 1: where they're at and where they're at now, how they've

1287
01:09:38,120 --> 01:09:38,960
Speaker 1: played and where they're at now.

1288
01:09:39,040 --> 01:09:40,360
Speaker 3: You know, I think they've played pretty well.

1289
01:09:41,040 --> 01:09:41,240
Speaker 1: You know.

1290
01:09:41,320 --> 01:09:44,920
Speaker 3: I think overall it's been a solid group. You know,

1291
01:09:45,320 --> 01:09:47,160
Speaker 3: And I'm giving you an honest opinion. I think they've

1292
01:09:47,160 --> 01:09:49,080
Speaker 3: played overall better than I thought they would. I think

1293
01:09:49,120 --> 01:09:52,000
Speaker 3: it's been a pretty solid season. I think the run

1294
01:09:52,040 --> 01:09:54,559
Speaker 3: game has you know, again, they're not a running team,

1295
01:09:54,600 --> 01:09:57,000
Speaker 3: even though they've had running moments, but they're not a

1296
01:09:57,040 --> 01:09:59,600
Speaker 3: team that I think starts their offense by saying we

1297
01:09:59,720 --> 01:10:03,320
Speaker 3: better run the ball or we can't play offense. So overall,

1298
01:10:03,360 --> 01:10:05,360
Speaker 3: I think they played well. One point I would love

1299
01:10:05,439 --> 01:10:07,120
Speaker 3: to make, and it just occurred to me that I

1300
01:10:07,160 --> 01:10:10,200
Speaker 3: think it needs to be made the Bills get into

1301
01:10:10,240 --> 01:10:12,559
Speaker 3: the red zone an awful lot. Okay, I think they

1302
01:10:12,560 --> 01:10:15,439
Speaker 3: are fourth in the league in red zone possessions, and

1303
01:10:15,479 --> 01:10:18,000
Speaker 3: they score when they get in the red zone. Their

1304
01:10:18,120 --> 01:10:22,120
Speaker 3: second and t deep percentage, Allen is number one. He's

1305
01:10:22,200 --> 01:10:24,040
Speaker 3: not turned the ball over in the red zone, which

1306
01:10:24,040 --> 01:10:26,000
Speaker 3: may surprise a lot of people that just think he

1307
01:10:26,040 --> 01:10:26,719
Speaker 3: turns it over.

1308
01:10:27,000 --> 01:10:27,200
Speaker 1: You know.

1309
01:10:27,439 --> 01:10:30,400
Speaker 3: So that's an important part of this game. You have

1310
01:10:30,479 --> 01:10:32,840
Speaker 3: to assume they're going to get in the red they

1311
01:10:32,880 --> 01:10:35,200
Speaker 3: move the ball. I mean they're still number one in

1312
01:10:35,240 --> 01:10:38,360
Speaker 3: the league and in third down conversion percentage they move

1313
01:10:38,439 --> 01:10:41,719
Speaker 3: the ball. So red zone becomes a really important part

1314
01:10:41,720 --> 01:10:42,280
Speaker 3: of this game.

1315
01:10:43,320 --> 01:10:46,400
Speaker 2: Greg, thanks as always enjoy that game, especially if you

1316
01:10:46,479 --> 01:10:47,880
Speaker 2: stay up to the end of it. We know you'll

1317
01:10:47,880 --> 01:10:49,599
Speaker 2: be watching it. I think I might have to stay

1318
01:10:49,680 --> 01:10:51,000
Speaker 2: up for this one.

1319
01:10:51,040 --> 01:10:53,080
Speaker 3: I might have to stay up for it. Normally not,

1320
01:10:53,160 --> 01:10:54,679
Speaker 3: but I might have to do it this week.

1321
01:10:54,720 --> 01:10:56,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so. All right, we'll catch up with

1322
01:10:56,520 --> 01:10:57,599
Speaker 2: you next week. Thanks Greg.

1323
01:10:57,840 --> 01:10:59,000
Speaker 3: All Right, guys, thanks all right.

1324
01:10:59,040 --> 01:11:01,840
Speaker 2: That's Greg co Sales, your producer NFL Films, co host

1325
01:11:01,840 --> 01:11:04,280
Speaker 2: of ESPN's NFL Matchup Show. And I forgot to ask him,

1326
01:11:04,280 --> 01:11:08,280
Speaker 2: but I would bet your bottom dollar that Bill's Dolphins

1327
01:11:08,400 --> 01:11:10,439
Speaker 2: is going to be a featured segment in the ESPN

1328
01:11:10,560 --> 01:11:13,599
Speaker 2: NFL Matchup Show this week as well, so I would

1329
01:11:13,640 --> 01:11:16,080
Speaker 2: plan on trying to catch that. It's usually on early

1330
01:11:16,120 --> 01:11:20,840
Speaker 2: in the morning on Saturdays and Sundays. Good X's and

1331
01:11:20,880 --> 01:11:23,760
Speaker 2: O's breakdowns for the layman. I mean, they get into

1332
01:11:23,760 --> 01:11:26,040
Speaker 2: a little bit of football language, but not so far

1333
01:11:26,080 --> 01:11:28,360
Speaker 2: deep in the weeds that you think they're speaking Swahili.

1334
01:11:28,680 --> 01:11:31,080
Speaker 2: They really break it down for you know, a fan

1335
01:11:31,200 --> 01:11:33,160
Speaker 2: that wants to know more about the game and how

1336
01:11:33,240 --> 01:11:37,280
Speaker 2: plays unfold and assignments and leverage and all of that stuff.

1337
01:11:37,280 --> 01:11:40,080
Speaker 2: They're really good at breaking it down on that show, right,

1338
01:11:40,560 --> 01:11:41,800
Speaker 2: You can learn a lot watching it.

1339
01:11:41,920 --> 01:11:44,880
Speaker 1: Yeah. They and it's not just it's all everybody on

1340
01:11:44,920 --> 01:11:46,800
Speaker 1: the show. They do a great job with it. So

1341
01:11:46,880 --> 01:11:49,040
Speaker 1: it's yeah, it's a lot of fun, but hard to

1342
01:11:49,080 --> 01:11:49,920
Speaker 1: find sometimes.

1343
01:11:50,720 --> 01:11:52,679
Speaker 2: Yes, but it airs early in the morning.

1344
01:11:52,800 --> 01:11:54,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, So if you're an early riser, put set the

1345
01:11:54,960 --> 01:11:56,920
Speaker 1: DVR if you've got one, yeah, or you can do that.

1346
01:11:56,920 --> 01:12:00,559
Speaker 2: That's the other option eight oh three, five fifty one

1347
01:12:00,680 --> 01:12:02,960
Speaker 2: eighty eight five fifty two, five fifty. Then I'm gonna

1348
01:12:02,960 --> 01:12:05,800
Speaker 2: get on board. The OBL Friday fan mail bag is

Speaker 2: we go to the phones and waiting for us. There

1361
01:12:40,200 --> 01:12:42,760
Speaker 2: is Mike in Lancaster. What do you got for us? Mike,

1362
01:12:42,760 --> 01:12:43,639
Speaker 2: you're on one Bill's Live.

1363
01:12:44,400 --> 01:12:48,240
Speaker 6: Hey, thank you for taking Mike call. I just wanted

1364
01:12:48,280 --> 01:12:54,240
Speaker 6: to talk about the Bills were on when they weren't

1365
01:12:54,280 --> 01:12:56,360
Speaker 6: doing very well. I guess I got a little bit

1366
01:12:56,360 --> 01:13:00,240
Speaker 6: nervous when they weren't during during doing very well and

1367
01:13:00,280 --> 01:13:01,920
Speaker 6: we were on the bottom and we were in the hunt.

1368
01:13:02,040 --> 01:13:06,639
Speaker 6: They called it. I always told you know, I always

1369
01:13:06,640 --> 01:13:10,240
Speaker 6: said that people should be more positive in that And

1370
01:13:11,320 --> 01:13:13,839
Speaker 6: now look at us now. I mean, we're we're fighting

1371
01:13:13,880 --> 01:13:16,880
Speaker 6: for the division title, you know what I mean. And

1372
01:13:17,560 --> 01:13:20,559
Speaker 6: I talked to you two guys about the no huddle.

1373
01:13:20,840 --> 01:13:24,200
Speaker 6: Maybe you will remember, maybe you won't. And you explained

1374
01:13:24,280 --> 01:13:26,240
Speaker 6: to me that you know it worked in the work

1375
01:13:26,360 --> 01:13:28,639
Speaker 6: years ago, but you didn't think it would work now.

1376
01:13:29,920 --> 01:13:33,080
Speaker 6: And I really feel that the Bills are going to

1377
01:13:33,160 --> 01:13:37,720
Speaker 6: do very well this Sunday. And one other thing is

1378
01:13:37,760 --> 01:13:41,479
Speaker 6: I'm also glad that they're playing at night. I think

1379
01:13:41,520 --> 01:13:43,640
Speaker 6: it'll be much cooler than it was, like I think

1380
01:13:43,680 --> 01:13:45,479
Speaker 6: it was last year when the when the Bills were

1381
01:13:45,520 --> 01:13:51,280
Speaker 6: playing there, hit de hydrated it that And let's see,

1382
01:13:51,320 --> 01:13:53,719
Speaker 6: I called several weeks ago when I talked with sal

1383
01:13:54,800 --> 01:13:58,400
Speaker 6: and I had mentioned about the UH being positive with

1384
01:13:58,520 --> 01:14:00,640
Speaker 6: you know, like I said before, and he thought that

1385
01:14:00,720 --> 01:14:03,599
Speaker 6: was a very good thing. And you know, I know

1386
01:14:03,640 --> 01:14:08,200
Speaker 6: the Bills some weeks they don't do as well, you know,

1387
01:14:08,240 --> 01:14:11,280
Speaker 6: on the offense in net, but when they're clicking, I

1388
01:14:11,360 --> 01:14:14,080
Speaker 6: really believe that they could beat any one of these teams,

1389
01:14:14,280 --> 01:14:16,599
Speaker 6: but Baltimore and all of them, look what they did

1390
01:14:16,600 --> 01:14:21,679
Speaker 6: the Dallas. And someone was talking this morning about Diggs.

1391
01:14:23,040 --> 01:14:26,120
Speaker 6: Will he be here next year or not? I think

1392
01:14:26,120 --> 01:14:28,479
Speaker 6: he will, and I think he's going to have a

1393
01:14:28,520 --> 01:14:33,920
Speaker 6: really good game on Sunday. We have great receivers, every

1394
01:14:33,960 --> 01:14:37,599
Speaker 6: one of them are good. We have great running backs now,

1395
01:14:38,200 --> 01:14:39,920
Speaker 6: and I think that takes a lot of pressure off

1396
01:14:39,960 --> 01:14:45,720
Speaker 6: of Josh Cooks and that Johnson and I really feel

1397
01:14:45,800 --> 01:14:47,879
Speaker 6: we're going to do very good this week this weekend.

1398
01:14:48,000 --> 01:14:50,240
Speaker 2: All right, thanks for the call. I appreciate that.

1399
01:14:51,560 --> 01:14:51,800
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1400
01:14:51,880 --> 01:14:54,160
Speaker 2: I mean when this team was six and six and

1401
01:14:54,200 --> 01:14:56,880
Speaker 2: they were struggling to string wins together, they had alternated

1402
01:14:56,880 --> 01:14:59,360
Speaker 2: for about six weeks win loss, win loss, win loss,

1403
01:14:59,760 --> 01:15:03,320
Speaker 2: and and really play more than one phase of good

1404
01:15:03,320 --> 01:15:07,120
Speaker 2: football each week. It was frustrating and fans got annoyed,

1405
01:15:07,160 --> 01:15:09,759
Speaker 2: and I get why, because the expectations were far higher

1406
01:15:09,760 --> 01:15:12,720
Speaker 2: than that. Steve continued to pound the table and tell

1407
01:15:12,760 --> 01:15:14,680
Speaker 2: you the team is a good football team. They just

1408
01:15:14,720 --> 01:15:17,679
Speaker 2: have to get themselves right. They finally did hear down

1409
01:15:17,720 --> 01:15:20,439
Speaker 2: the stretch with their backs against the wall. As we

1410
01:15:20,479 --> 01:15:23,639
Speaker 2: said earlier, they still haven't played their most complete game

1411
01:15:23,640 --> 01:15:27,240
Speaker 2: of the year since Week four, perhaps against the Dolphins,

1412
01:15:27,600 --> 01:15:29,680
Speaker 2: and maybe the Dolphins is the perfect tonic to get

1413
01:15:29,720 --> 01:15:32,760
Speaker 2: back to playing their best football going into the playoffs.

1414
01:15:34,560 --> 01:15:37,519
Speaker 2: And you know, the no huddle stuff. I think, as

1415
01:15:37,520 --> 01:15:41,200
Speaker 2: we explained earlier, you have to scale down your menu

1416
01:15:41,240 --> 01:15:43,479
Speaker 2: of plays if you're going to play true no huddle

1417
01:15:43,520 --> 01:15:48,560
Speaker 2: and play that fast, just like Steve's team did. Nowadays,

1418
01:15:48,840 --> 01:15:52,840
Speaker 2: it seems to be more beneficial to jump into a

1419
01:15:52,920 --> 01:15:56,320
Speaker 2: tempo play or two in the middle of a series, like, hey,

1420
01:15:56,320 --> 01:15:57,800
Speaker 2: and they did it last week. Let's get up on

1421
01:15:57,800 --> 01:16:00,240
Speaker 2: the ball fast, and let's go fast here on this

1422
01:16:00,320 --> 01:16:02,679
Speaker 2: next play. To keep that personnel grouping on the field.

1423
01:16:03,120 --> 01:16:06,160
Speaker 2: But to do it for an entire game I think

1424
01:16:06,240 --> 01:16:10,599
Speaker 2: has its pluses and minuses, and more often than not,

1425
01:16:10,920 --> 01:16:14,360
Speaker 2: I think offensive coordinators would like to have more bullets

1426
01:16:14,360 --> 01:16:17,160
Speaker 2: in the gun in terms of play selection rather than

1427
01:16:17,200 --> 01:16:17,719
Speaker 2: go fast.

1428
01:16:17,760 --> 01:16:19,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, when you go fast, the faster you go, the

1429
01:16:19,840 --> 01:16:22,439
Speaker 1: smaller the menu of plays you can use, and you

1430
01:16:23,280 --> 01:16:26,679
Speaker 1: miss opportunities. And at the current point in NFL history

1431
01:16:26,720 --> 01:16:30,719
Speaker 1: where we're at, defenses and offenses are much more. They're

1432
01:16:30,880 --> 01:16:34,120
Speaker 1: a lot really complex, very flexible in their ability to

1433
01:16:34,200 --> 01:16:36,720
Speaker 1: change philosophies within the game. You know, they can go

1434
01:16:36,760 --> 01:16:38,840
Speaker 1: from a zone read to a trap and pull and

1435
01:16:39,160 --> 01:16:40,840
Speaker 1: all that stuff. They can go from a zone blitz

1436
01:16:40,880 --> 01:16:43,840
Speaker 1: team to a zone team to a straight man team.

1437
01:16:44,120 --> 01:16:46,160
Speaker 1: They can go from a coverage team to a pressure team.

1438
01:16:46,360 --> 01:16:47,840
Speaker 1: They can do all that stuff on either side of

1439
01:16:47,880 --> 01:16:50,919
Speaker 1: the ball. You lose a little bit of that ability,

1440
01:16:51,000 --> 01:16:53,840
Speaker 1: maybe all of that ability in certain situations when you

1441
01:16:53,880 --> 01:16:57,080
Speaker 1: go fast. They're the faster you go. Certainly offensively, you

1442
01:16:57,160 --> 01:17:00,559
Speaker 1: gain if you can. You can gain an advantage by

1443
01:17:00,680 --> 01:17:05,080
Speaker 1: not letting the opponent do that change some things personnel

1444
01:17:05,200 --> 01:17:07,639
Speaker 1: or what have you. But they can always cult radio

1445
01:17:07,720 --> 01:17:10,800
Speaker 1: in the signal, so they can change the philosophy even

1446
01:17:10,840 --> 01:17:13,559
Speaker 1: if the players aren't didn't get a conversation with it

1447
01:17:13,680 --> 01:17:17,040
Speaker 1: before the game the play. So the faster you go,

1448
01:17:17,240 --> 01:17:20,040
Speaker 1: the smaller the menu of plays that are at your disposal,

1449
01:17:20,920 --> 01:17:22,840
Speaker 1: because you can't you don't have time for shifts and

1450
01:17:22,880 --> 01:17:26,000
Speaker 1: motions and this and that and checks and balances and

1451
01:17:26,040 --> 01:17:26,879
Speaker 1: all of that stuff.

1452
01:17:27,240 --> 01:17:30,080
Speaker 2: A quarterback coordinators would prefer to have motion these things.

1453
01:17:29,840 --> 01:17:33,200
Speaker 1: Too, yes, because because you got to snap the ball

1454
01:17:33,240 --> 01:17:36,679
Speaker 1: if you're gonna go fast. And now there's a different

1455
01:17:36,680 --> 01:17:39,000
Speaker 1: thing between getting up and doing everything at the line

1456
01:17:39,000 --> 01:17:42,160
Speaker 1: of scrimmage. That's a different strategy. Where you go up.

1457
01:17:42,880 --> 01:17:45,200
Speaker 1: The play callers in the booth, he's looking at them

1458
01:17:45,240 --> 01:17:47,800
Speaker 1: deploy their defense and he's watching it upstairs and then

1459
01:17:47,880 --> 01:17:50,240
Speaker 1: without until it gets to fifteen seconds left on the

1460
01:17:50,240 --> 01:17:53,960
Speaker 1: play clock. He can talk to the quarterback live. The

1461
01:17:54,040 --> 01:17:57,000
Speaker 1: quarterback can't feed talk back to him, but the you know,

1462
01:17:57,000 --> 01:17:59,160
Speaker 1: he can say, hey, listen, thirty two look at that

1463
01:17:59,240 --> 01:18:02,040
Speaker 1: I think about. Listen, so let's go whatever, give him

1464
01:18:02,040 --> 01:18:05,040
Speaker 1: a formation and shift and the and the quarterback would

1465
01:18:05,120 --> 01:18:08,040
Speaker 1: know the play kind of thing. Uh. But the faster

1466
01:18:08,200 --> 01:18:13,000
Speaker 1: you go, yes, you do get some benefit from it,

1467
01:18:14,280 --> 01:18:18,600
Speaker 1: but you also limit yourself. So it's a you know,

1468
01:18:18,600 --> 01:18:20,640
Speaker 1: it's a given takes a double edged sword that you

1469
01:18:20,680 --> 01:18:22,479
Speaker 1: know that you're not You're never gonna bring back the

1470
01:18:22,520 --> 01:18:24,400
Speaker 1: K gun. It's not gonna work. It's it's a different

1471
01:18:24,479 --> 01:18:25,800
Speaker 1: it's a different world we live in now.

1472
01:18:26,479 --> 01:18:28,559
Speaker 2: Break time for us here, but your phone calls when

1473
01:18:28,600 --> 01:18:31,120
Speaker 2: we return, Mark and West Seneca, George, Hona, Sell, Joe

1474
01:18:31,160 --> 01:18:32,760
Speaker 2: and Uticat hang tight. We'll get to you when we

1475
01:18:32,800 --> 01:18:34,800
Speaker 2: return here. On one Bill's Live, presented by co Lot

1476
01:18:34,800 --> 01:18:51,080
Speaker 2: of Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio Collision Course is brought

1477
01:18:51,120 --> 01:18:53,599
Speaker 2: to you by GABS Collision. Gab's Collision, the official auto

1478
01:18:53,600 --> 01:18:56,000
Speaker 2: collision repair center of the Buffalo Bills. Get Back in

1479
01:18:56,040 --> 01:18:59,479
Speaker 2: the Game, and this week's collision course is the guy

1480
01:18:59,520 --> 01:19:01,960
Speaker 2: who who in all likelihood is going to be the

1481
01:19:01,960 --> 01:19:06,120
Speaker 2: primary tailbag for the Dolphins on Sunday Night. Rookie running

1482
01:19:06,160 --> 01:19:10,400
Speaker 2: back Devon ah Chan against Buffalo's defense is our collision

1483
01:19:10,800 --> 01:19:14,880
Speaker 2: course this week. For those that don't remember, Devon ah

1484
01:19:14,960 --> 01:19:17,840
Speaker 2: Chan had all of eight carries against the Bills back

1485
01:19:17,880 --> 01:19:21,680
Speaker 2: in Week four and went for over one hundred yards

1486
01:19:21,720 --> 01:19:25,959
Speaker 2: on those eight carries, including a fifty five yard scamper

1487
01:19:26,280 --> 01:19:30,120
Speaker 2: and a three yard carry for a touchdown. And it's

1488
01:19:30,160 --> 01:19:33,599
Speaker 2: sounding like he's going to be the primary ball carrier

1489
01:19:33,720 --> 01:19:36,080
Speaker 2: on Sunday Night because moster it's not going to be

1490
01:19:36,080 --> 01:19:38,439
Speaker 2: one hundred percent. Even though he is expected to play

1491
01:19:38,520 --> 01:19:41,559
Speaker 2: at this point by the Dolphins reporters down in Miami.

1492
01:19:43,000 --> 01:19:44,840
Speaker 2: Guy was out for a little while and knee injury

1493
01:19:44,880 --> 01:19:47,800
Speaker 2: missed the middle portion of the season. The kid is

1494
01:19:47,840 --> 01:19:51,240
Speaker 2: averaging eight yards of carry this season, Steve. The only

1495
01:19:51,360 --> 01:19:53,160
Speaker 2: reason he's not at the top of the league's leader

1496
01:19:53,200 --> 01:19:55,960
Speaker 2: board is he doesn't have enough carries to qualify. This

1497
01:19:56,080 --> 01:20:00,479
Speaker 2: kid has ninety three carries on the season, seven have

1498
01:20:00,600 --> 01:20:02,120
Speaker 2: gone for touchdowns.

1499
01:20:04,840 --> 01:20:06,920
Speaker 1: He's a problem runs.

1500
01:20:06,640 --> 01:20:08,000
Speaker 2: A four three two forty.

1501
01:20:08,080 --> 01:20:10,120
Speaker 1: He looks like he runs a four three, two forty.

1502
01:20:10,160 --> 01:20:11,439
Speaker 2: He runs faster than most.

1503
01:20:11,800 --> 01:20:14,880
Speaker 1: He runs really fast, and I think you're gonna have

1504
01:20:14,920 --> 01:20:16,800
Speaker 1: to have a plan for him. And if he's going

1505
01:20:16,880 --> 01:20:19,320
Speaker 1: he gets more to you know, heaven forbid he gets

1506
01:20:19,320 --> 01:20:21,360
Speaker 1: more than eight touches this time, right, I mean, oh.

1507
01:20:21,280 --> 01:20:24,160
Speaker 2: I think he will. Yeah, Hey, that's a given, especially

1508
01:20:24,160 --> 01:20:25,799
Speaker 2: with a lot of the other skill guys hobbled.

1509
01:20:25,880 --> 01:20:28,200
Speaker 1: He is really dangerous. And you saw him even in

1510
01:20:28,280 --> 01:20:30,880
Speaker 1: we're watching highlights now the Baltimore game Man. He gets

1511
01:20:30,920 --> 01:20:33,400
Speaker 1: a step and he is really gone. He's like Tyreek Man.

1512
01:20:33,439 --> 01:20:36,200
Speaker 1: He looks like Tyreek. Some of these guys are some

1513
01:20:36,280 --> 01:20:38,599
Speaker 1: guys are really fast and you see him. They get

1514
01:20:38,640 --> 01:20:41,280
Speaker 1: out there and they can really run like a DK Metcalf,

1515
01:20:41,600 --> 01:20:43,360
Speaker 1: you know, he can. He can really cover a lot

1516
01:20:43,400 --> 01:20:47,880
Speaker 1: of ground. But like mostert and Tyreek Hill, they go

1517
01:20:47,920 --> 01:20:49,920
Speaker 1: from zero to one thousand miles an hour and like

1518
01:20:49,960 --> 01:20:52,559
Speaker 1: two steps. I mean, they're fast from the first couple

1519
01:20:52,560 --> 01:20:54,840
Speaker 1: of steps. It's not like they have to build up speed.

1520
01:20:54,920 --> 01:20:56,920
Speaker 1: So that's why they can get to the edge so fast.

1521
01:20:56,960 --> 01:20:59,960
Speaker 1: That's why they can get through the traffic so fast.

1522
01:21:00,240 --> 01:21:03,280
Speaker 1: That's why they're a real real issue because they can

1523
01:21:03,320 --> 01:21:07,160
Speaker 1: outrun angles. That's really hard to do in the NFL.

1524
01:21:07,200 --> 01:21:08,840
Speaker 2: You can play the best angle you've ever played in

1525
01:21:08,880 --> 01:21:11,080
Speaker 2: your life defensively and it doesn't matter against the guy

1526
01:21:11,160 --> 01:21:14,439
Speaker 2: like that. It just does not. Simply simply put.

1527
01:21:15,040 --> 01:21:17,519
Speaker 1: A Chan is a huge issue that has to be

1528
01:21:17,560 --> 01:21:19,920
Speaker 1: addressed for this Bill's defensive game plan. And it's hard

1529
01:21:19,920 --> 01:21:22,240
Speaker 1: for them too because you don't even know. Because today

1530
01:21:22,240 --> 01:21:25,360
Speaker 1: it's becoming clearer that mosters may be available, may not

1531
01:21:25,400 --> 01:21:27,240
Speaker 1: be available, might take some red. You know, you don't

1532
01:21:27,240 --> 01:21:30,040
Speaker 1: know who you're gonna get. It's a problem because you

1533
01:21:30,080 --> 01:21:30,320
Speaker 1: don't know.

1534
01:21:30,439 --> 01:21:32,800
Speaker 2: Your garrison Chan though, right, and that's why he is

1535
01:21:32,800 --> 01:21:35,800
Speaker 2: our collision course brought to you by Gabe's Collision. We

1536
01:21:35,880 --> 01:21:38,759
Speaker 2: pivot to Tailgate Friday, presented by high Mark, Blue Cross,

1537
01:21:38,760 --> 01:21:42,240
Speaker 2: Blue Shield, the official healthcare plan of the Buffalo Bills.

01:21:42,280 --> 01:21:44,960
Speaker 2: To see what is on the tailgate Manu this week.

1539
01:21:45,000 --> 01:21:47,600
Speaker 2: Whether you're down in South Florida for the game or

1540
01:21:47,720 --> 01:21:50,280
Speaker 2: at home cooking it up on your grill out back.

1541
01:21:50,560 --> 01:21:52,599
Speaker 2: I don't care if it's January, get the job done.

1542
01:21:52,640 --> 01:21:57,559
Speaker 2: People from Jason who belongs to the Scottish Bills Mafia,

1543
01:21:57,600 --> 01:22:01,320
Speaker 2: Steve watching the six pm m UK games, get a

1544
01:22:01,360 --> 01:22:04,280
Speaker 2: few hours sleep, get up at one am UK time

1545
01:22:04,400 --> 01:22:07,599
Speaker 2: and watch the game with the volume turned low. Maybe

1546
01:22:07,640 --> 01:22:10,040
Speaker 2: have a beer or two. Miswork on Monday, Big Dubs

1547
01:22:10,040 --> 01:22:12,719
Speaker 2: and victory Monday is coming up, so it's just beer

1548
01:22:13,280 --> 01:22:14,040
Speaker 2: shocking from.

1549
01:22:14,560 --> 01:22:17,240
Speaker 1: Yeah at two am. I mean you're not going to really,

1550
01:22:17,680 --> 01:22:18,880
Speaker 1: you know, break open the smoker.

1551
01:22:19,000 --> 01:22:20,240
Speaker 2: So wait to start the Monday.

1552
01:22:20,240 --> 01:22:22,200
Speaker 1: I'll tell you that, right, he's missing, He's already decided

1553
01:22:22,200 --> 01:22:23,240
Speaker 1: he's missing worse, that's.

1554
01:22:23,160 --> 01:22:28,320
Speaker 2: Right, David says. Sushi for lunch, smash mouth football burgers,

1555
01:22:28,439 --> 01:22:31,400
Speaker 2: which includes buffalo sauce and blue cheese crumbles mixed in

1556
01:22:31,840 --> 01:22:35,519
Speaker 2: with bacon, lettuce, barbecue and blue cheese dressing, and fries

1557
01:22:35,560 --> 01:22:38,519
Speaker 2: for dinner. That is right up Steve Tasker's alley. You

1558
01:22:38,600 --> 01:22:44,120
Speaker 2: have hit the trifecta of the Steve Tasker ingredient necessity list. Okay,

1559
01:22:44,200 --> 01:22:48,479
Speaker 2: I'm gonna run him off for you. Bacon, okay, blue

1560
01:22:48,560 --> 01:22:53,639
Speaker 2: cheese and buffalo sauce. That's right up Steve Tasker's alley.

1561
01:22:53,640 --> 01:22:55,920
Speaker 2: You cannot have made or built a better burger.

1562
01:22:56,240 --> 01:22:59,080
Speaker 1: And you know the blue cheese dressing, the barbecue sauce,

1563
01:22:59,120 --> 01:23:00,400
Speaker 1: the barbecue wings sauce.

1564
01:23:00,479 --> 01:23:03,880
Speaker 2: I mean he's also making homemade hot barbecue sauce wings

1565
01:23:03,920 --> 01:23:06,120
Speaker 2: air fried with blue cheese for the game. You ever

1566
01:23:06,160 --> 01:23:08,679
Speaker 2: air fry wings? Steve? Yeah, they're not bad.

1567
01:23:08,800 --> 01:23:11,240
Speaker 1: No, well, I mean they're not. It's not they're not

1568
01:23:11,320 --> 01:23:13,280
Speaker 1: good or bad because of the air fry it's everything

1569
01:23:13,280 --> 01:23:15,320
Speaker 1: else that goes into them. But yes, you can. You

1570
01:23:15,360 --> 01:23:17,920
Speaker 1: can make You can make great wings with an air

1571
01:23:17,960 --> 01:23:19,679
Speaker 1: fryer if you know how to do it, no question

1572
01:23:19,720 --> 01:23:20,080
Speaker 1: about it.

1573
01:23:20,080 --> 01:23:25,000
Speaker 2: Bill's Mafia Season says pulled pork, jalapeno poppers, and an

1574
01:23:25,080 --> 01:23:28,040
Speaker 2: elk rump roast. We got a hunter on this on

1575
01:23:28,080 --> 01:23:32,599
Speaker 2: the list here possibly colliflower a grotten as well. Never

1576
01:23:32,640 --> 01:23:35,519
Speaker 2: done that, nor have I ever done an elk rump roast?

1577
01:23:35,560 --> 01:23:37,720
Speaker 1: But who have I never done an elk rump? No

1578
01:23:39,280 --> 01:23:39,840
Speaker 1: good for him.

1579
01:23:40,280 --> 01:23:41,800
Speaker 2: I hope he's got a lot of people to feed,

1580
01:23:42,040 --> 01:23:44,520
Speaker 2: because last I checked, elks are pretty.

1581
01:23:44,240 --> 01:23:46,519
Speaker 1: Big, big, right, Elk?

1582
01:23:46,720 --> 01:23:50,320
Speaker 2: That's a big rump? How do you sell it? Chop

1583
01:23:50,360 --> 01:23:50,559
Speaker 2: it up?

1584
01:23:51,160 --> 01:23:52,800
Speaker 1: How do you It's just a roast. It's not like

1585
01:23:52,880 --> 01:23:55,920
Speaker 1: the whole rump thing. It's just a cut of meat

1586
01:23:55,960 --> 01:23:58,280
Speaker 1: like a cow roast, you know, So that's big? How

1587
01:23:58,320 --> 01:24:00,439
Speaker 1: do you like spice? And see what do you put

1588
01:24:00,439 --> 01:24:00,680
Speaker 1: on him?

1589
01:24:00,880 --> 01:24:04,160
Speaker 2: I would think similar things like venison. Yeah, I would

1590
01:24:04,160 --> 01:24:06,280
Speaker 2: think it's a lean meat, kind of like venison is.

1591
01:24:06,439 --> 01:24:09,240
Speaker 2: I would say it's probably lean, so you can't cook

1592
01:24:09,280 --> 01:24:12,200
Speaker 2: it for too long, so otherwise you're ruin it because

1593
01:24:12,200 --> 01:24:13,960
Speaker 2: you don't have fat to kind of soak in and

1594
01:24:13,960 --> 01:24:16,840
Speaker 2: all that stuff. But that's interesting. That is the most

1595
01:24:17,520 --> 01:24:20,960
Speaker 2: unique one I've seen so far. Jalapeno poppers, pull pork

1596
01:24:21,000 --> 01:24:24,800
Speaker 2: and an elk rump roast Ron says, beer, lots and

1597
01:24:24,840 --> 01:24:25,559
Speaker 2: lots of beer.

1598
01:24:25,560 --> 01:24:27,599
Speaker 1: All right, Rady, keep it going, start too soon because

1599
01:24:27,640 --> 01:24:30,120
Speaker 1: it gets late early here at an eight to fifteen kick.

1600
01:24:30,200 --> 01:24:34,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right about that, Kenny says, start IV sedatives

1601
01:24:34,320 --> 01:24:39,360
Speaker 2: about one pm. Loll. Somebody's nerves are going to be

1602
01:24:39,400 --> 01:24:43,160
Speaker 2: frayed by one o'clock. And Cheryl says, we will be

1603
01:24:43,200 --> 01:24:47,439
Speaker 2: watching from home and eating my wife's homemade chicken wings.

1604
01:24:47,880 --> 01:24:50,160
Speaker 2: I'm guessing this is the husband of Cheryl that sent

1605
01:24:50,200 --> 01:24:54,960
Speaker 2: that there. So all right, good for you, excellent, excellent stuff.

1606
01:24:55,520 --> 01:24:56,960
Speaker 2: We have to get back to the phones though. At

1607
01:24:56,960 --> 01:24:58,680
Speaker 2: eight oh three oh five fifty and we go to

1608
01:24:58,760 --> 01:25:00,960
Speaker 2: Mark in West Seneca. You got for his mark.

1609
01:25:02,439 --> 01:25:05,720
Speaker 7: Real quick, guys, I didn't plan on talking about this,

1610
01:25:05,840 --> 01:25:08,560
Speaker 7: but you're talking about elk. I don't know if you

1611
01:25:08,600 --> 01:25:11,600
Speaker 7: guys ever heard of Algonquin in Canada. I went on

1612
01:25:11,640 --> 01:25:14,680
Speaker 7: a canoe trip up there when I was younger, and

1613
01:25:15,880 --> 01:25:18,960
Speaker 7: we were canoeing through some tributaries and we came around

1614
01:25:18,960 --> 01:25:23,960
Speaker 7: a corner in a wood laden area, and low and behold,

1615
01:25:23,960 --> 01:25:27,840
Speaker 7: we rolled right up on an elk, literally five feet away,

1616
01:25:27,880 --> 01:25:31,559
Speaker 7: eye to eye, in waterways that we're about anywhere from

1617
01:25:31,560 --> 01:25:35,560
Speaker 7: eight to ten foot deep. And they are huge animals

1618
01:25:35,720 --> 01:25:36,719
Speaker 7: and they are not friendly.

1619
01:25:37,479 --> 01:25:40,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, neither neither are moose, which you're up there as well.

1620
01:25:41,360 --> 01:25:44,240
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, it was. It was something to see a

1621
01:25:44,280 --> 01:25:49,280
Speaker 7: couple quick observations. The whole thing about making the Bills

1622
01:25:50,160 --> 01:25:52,640
Speaker 7: methodically go down the field, to me, that could be

1623
01:25:52,640 --> 01:25:56,720
Speaker 7: a strategy mistake. If they give us that way to

1624
01:25:57,560 --> 01:26:00,720
Speaker 7: go down the field, we're actually going to get in

1625
01:26:00,760 --> 01:26:03,360
Speaker 7: the red zone or top red zone team. And all

1626
01:26:03,400 --> 01:26:06,559
Speaker 7: that does to me is keep their offense off the field.

1627
01:26:07,080 --> 01:26:09,320
Speaker 7: So as long as Josh is willing to do it

1628
01:26:09,320 --> 01:26:12,479
Speaker 7: and sticks to that plan, I welcome that all day long.

1629
01:26:13,040 --> 01:26:13,760
Speaker 4: Let's take our.

1630
01:26:13,760 --> 01:26:16,400
Speaker 7: Chances that way, get into the red zone, score out

1631
01:26:16,439 --> 01:26:21,880
Speaker 7: points when we get there, and keep them off the field. Secondly, injuries.

1632
01:26:22,400 --> 01:26:26,400
Speaker 7: It's almost to the point now it's really irrelevant if

1633
01:26:26,439 --> 01:26:29,679
Speaker 7: any of these guys are going to dress, because every

1634
01:26:29,720 --> 01:26:33,200
Speaker 7: one of them, they're top three, are a tweak, a

1635
01:26:33,320 --> 01:26:37,080
Speaker 7: cut away from not finishing the game and being hobbled.

1636
01:26:37,439 --> 01:26:41,320
Speaker 7: I mean, just if they play, that's one thing, But

1637
01:26:41,439 --> 01:26:43,920
Speaker 7: can they get through the game? Can they get through

1638
01:26:43,920 --> 01:26:46,719
Speaker 7: the game, And that's what I'm really curious to see.

1639
01:26:46,760 --> 01:26:48,599
Speaker 7: And if they are able to get through the game,

1640
01:26:48,840 --> 01:26:51,960
Speaker 7: how effective are they going to be? Basically on one leg,

1641
01:26:52,120 --> 01:26:55,599
Speaker 7: one ankle, whatever they're dragging around. And then I'm gonna

1642
01:26:55,600 --> 01:26:58,320
Speaker 7: ask you guys one quick question at the risk of

1643
01:26:58,400 --> 01:27:03,519
Speaker 7: sounding like mister sensitive hometown fan. And I don't like

1644
01:27:03,560 --> 01:27:05,639
Speaker 7: to always bring this up, but the national talking because

1645
01:27:05,680 --> 01:27:10,720
Speaker 7: they irritate me sometimes and in particular Mike Tannbaum on ESPN,

1646
01:27:12,680 --> 01:27:15,320
Speaker 7: maybe you guys can tell me when was the actual

1647
01:27:15,400 --> 01:27:18,599
Speaker 7: GM of the Jets. Because he never has a good

1648
01:27:18,600 --> 01:27:22,320
Speaker 7: thing to say about the Bills. He's always picking against them.

1649
01:27:22,320 --> 01:27:24,120
Speaker 7: Not that he should pick us, you know, pick the

1650
01:27:24,160 --> 01:27:26,720
Speaker 7: game what you believe, but it almost seems like he's

1651
01:27:26,720 --> 01:27:30,000
Speaker 7: got a grudge, and in particular, he always seems to

1652
01:27:30,120 --> 01:27:34,280
Speaker 7: have negative things to say about Josh and as much

1653
01:27:34,320 --> 01:27:36,920
Speaker 7: as you can bring up the turnover issue. It's a fact,

1654
01:27:37,000 --> 01:27:40,120
Speaker 7: it's a reality. He never brings up the good stuff

1655
01:27:40,160 --> 01:27:42,960
Speaker 7: either ever, you know so, I'm just curious if he

1656
01:27:43,040 --> 01:27:44,640
Speaker 7: rubs you guys the same way rubs me.

1657
01:27:44,960 --> 01:27:46,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, he does rub us the wrong way. We're out

1658
01:27:46,960 --> 01:27:48,680
Speaker 2: of time here, but Steve and I will address all

1659
01:27:48,680 --> 01:27:50,599
Speaker 2: your questions when we come back here on one Bill's

01:28:27,760 --> 01:28:30,480
Speaker 2: the new vision correction options available.

1667
01:28:31,120 --> 01:28:31,280
Speaker 1: Uh.

1668
01:28:31,800 --> 01:28:36,479
Speaker 2: For me, Steve, it's about using cook, Kincaid and Shakir

1669
01:28:37,400 --> 01:28:40,040
Speaker 2: in the underneath areas in the passing game. I think

1670
01:28:40,080 --> 01:28:42,200
Speaker 2: you can get cook out in space. There is a

1671
01:28:42,280 --> 01:28:44,920
Speaker 2: chance that Fangio puts seven dbs on the field to

1672
01:28:44,960 --> 01:28:47,439
Speaker 2: get more athletes to cover those guys, but I think

1673
01:28:47,479 --> 01:28:50,360
Speaker 2: you at least exploit that early hope it works for you.

1674
01:28:50,400 --> 01:28:52,200
Speaker 2: And if they're gonna put lighter guys on the field,

1675
01:28:52,600 --> 01:28:53,320
Speaker 2: run the football.

1676
01:28:53,439 --> 01:28:54,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I don't have a problem with that either.

1677
01:28:54,960 --> 01:28:57,240
Speaker 1: Anytime they go seven DB's on the field, you got

1678
01:28:57,280 --> 01:28:59,920
Speaker 1: to run it at them, and I mean run it systematic.

1679
01:29:00,280 --> 01:29:02,280
Speaker 1: And then if you're gonna go no huddle, that's when

1680
01:29:02,320 --> 01:29:04,920
Speaker 1: you do it. Run it, get up, lineup, and go again,

1681
01:29:06,000 --> 01:29:10,360
Speaker 1: and do it fast and hammer them. That's one strategy

1682
01:29:10,400 --> 01:29:12,160
Speaker 1: I think that could work really well in this game.

1683
01:29:12,200 --> 01:29:15,720
Speaker 1: If you get the Dolphins in a light package, four

1684
01:29:15,800 --> 01:29:19,439
Speaker 1: down linemen and a bunch of dbs pound the rock,

1685
01:29:21,920 --> 01:29:22,519
Speaker 1: that could work.

1686
01:29:23,280 --> 01:29:25,240
Speaker 2: I'm not opposed to run in Josh a little bit either,

1687
01:29:25,320 --> 01:29:28,280
Speaker 2: in design stuff. Quarterbacks sweep left right, something like that.

1688
01:29:28,800 --> 01:29:31,760
Speaker 2: Bill's Friday injury report is out. The only player on

1689
01:29:31,800 --> 01:29:35,000
Speaker 2: the list, Mitch Morse, listed a questionable after missing practice

1690
01:29:35,000 --> 01:29:37,760
Speaker 2: today due to illness. Hopefully he gets better fast and

1691
01:29:37,840 --> 01:29:41,479
Speaker 2: can play on Sunday night. But otherwise they're looking pretty good.

1692
01:29:42,000 --> 01:29:45,519
Speaker 2: We'll be here on Monday. We'll see at noon. Hopefully

1693
01:29:45,520 --> 01:29:46,640
Speaker 2: we're talking playoffs.
