5
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 2: I don't know if you saw this, Steve. The forecast

6
00:00:54,520 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 2: for the next few days, temperatures way below average for

7
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 2: the next few days, much like my attitude.

8
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: Wait, below average.

9
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm uh always count on you.

10
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: Right, I plowed my drives. I look at the stadium.

11
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 1: They got it. They cleared off half of it. So

12
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 1: the guys are probably gonna come out and kick or

13
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: something almost and they're clearing it right now as we speak.

14
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 1: But yeah, I had to clear my driveway today. And yeah,

15
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: it wasn't tough. But it's still snowing. And yeah, yeah,

16
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: your feed, your social media feeds filled with car wrecks

17
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: and bad weather. And it's just one of those days.

18
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: And it's a Tuesday, slow newsday.

19
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 2: It's something, Oh my gosh, here we are, let's go.

20
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,559
Speaker 2: So you only got like a couple of inches this morning, right.

21
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,639
Speaker 1: I had like I had about two and a half

22
00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: inches maybe this morning I felt like I had to

23
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: clear the drive.

24
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 2: Yeah I had less than that.

25
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: Yeah it was. This isn't this is I mean, come on,

26
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:10,519
Speaker 1: this is just a precursor. This is a dusting that

27
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: you might come If this snow falls on December twenty fourth,

28
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: you might say it's a white Christmas, but Willian Buffalo

29
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: wouldn't really consider it like that.

30
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 2: Over the next four days.

31
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 1: Oh no, it's a.

32
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 2: Forty percent chance of snow later today, fifty five percent

00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 2: chance of snow tomorrow here in western New York. Fifty

34

46
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: If somebody's not out there serving chili, they're not doing

47
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: it right. I had it's gotta be that's the that's

48
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: got to be the go to because you can, you know,

49
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: pulling out the grills and do all that because we

50
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: had you know, we've had the tag alongs where they've

51
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: got the grills pumping and the whole thing. The all

52
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: they're were getting this when you bring the pot with

53
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: the chili, you plug it into a degenerator. Let's go

54
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: just you know, not really cut down on the periphery.

55
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 2: I had two cups of chili at the Pittsburgh game.

56
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 2: I had won before the game, and I had won.

57
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: To add, did they put out the food there is that?

58
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 2: It's a pretty it's a pretty good.

59
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, they do. They have a nice slightly I would

60
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: have put it above average. Yes, they have a nice

61
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: they have a nice buffet.

62
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 2: Now we've also hit the top three in the league

63
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 2: this season, which were Tampa in the preseason Elite was

64
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 2: very good, Atlanta Elite.

65
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: Yea, and Houston good barbecue and all that.

66
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 2: What they have three different waves of food that come

67
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 2: to the game.

68
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, good for them.

69
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 2: It's yeah, they have different stations.

70
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 1: It's it's strange. Here in Buffalo, they have the same thing.

71
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: It's the it's the buffet out there. But in Buffalo

72
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: they've got like three or four different you know. The

73
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 1: press box, the traditional press box for the guys sitting

74
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 1: there doing their work is up in the corner in

75
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 1: the M and T suites. Right then you have the

76
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: the broadcast wing of it, which is right there up

77
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: above the club seats, right there in the middle of

78
00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:02,159
Speaker 1: the stadium. And then so they have two different places.

79
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: It used to be all everybody's in a lot of

80
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 1: stadiums is in the same spot. All the media is

81
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,719
Speaker 1: one little section. But they've got in here in the

82
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: old high Mark, I say the Old high Mark. Now

83
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: it's spread out over two locations. Hard to get from

84
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 1: one to the other.

85
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 3: Two.

86
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: Oh, you can't do it indoors.

87
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 4: Uh.

88
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 2: Yeah. So it was nice to have a warm cup

89
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 2: of chili.

90
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: Was a good chili? I mean it wasn't well.

91
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 2: I know that I amped it up, did you because

92
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,919
Speaker 2: they had fresh cut halopenos. Oh there you go, not

93
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 2: pickled fresh cut? Yeah, okay, And I just threw a

94
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 2: spoonful of before he went on the air. Oh yeah,

95
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 2: what about the ripercussions.

96
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,119
Speaker 1: I mean, what happens if you know, Steve, what happens

97
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:44,720
Speaker 1: if something goes wrong, Steve.

98
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 2: I have an iron stomach.

99
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 1: I stayed out of work an extra day because I

100
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 1: thought it might be contagious, so you could do your

101
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 1: I appreciate that, and just let me just I appreciate that.

102
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about you.

103
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, don't say I never did any Obviously, you're.

104
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,840
Speaker 1: More cavalier about your prep for the game. He's doing

105
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: raw jalapenos an hour before you go on.

106
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 2: Totally fine. All right, Let's get to some of the bills,

107
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 2: news and notes, and that's brought to you by LEECOM

108
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 2: your Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine head coach Sean

109
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 2: McDermot addressed the media late yesterday afternoon, and no definitive

110
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,040
Speaker 2: updates per se on the bills. On the injury list,

111
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 2: it's largely a wait and see exercise for these players

112
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 2: who missed last week's game, like Spencer Brown, Terrell Bernard,

113
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 2: Dalden Kincaid, and Jordan Palmer. Coach basically said, we'll have

114
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 2: to see where they're at when we begin practice on Wednesday,

115
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 2: and if they can participate on a limited basis, whether

116
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 2: they can do even more than that or whether they

117
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 2: still have to be sidelined. So no real definitive updates

118
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 2: on those four who missed the game last week. Dion

119
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 2: Dawkins remains in concussion protocol. He did not even make

120
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 2: the trip to pitch Burg. Maybe he gets on the

121
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,359
Speaker 2: practice field later this week. We'll have to see, but

122
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 2: it didn't sound very optimistic for him to be back

123
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 2: on the practice field Wednesday tomorrow, But we'll see what

124
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 2: comes up it. The new injury, Joey Bosa with the hamstring,

125
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 2: may have a chance to practice this week, but that

126
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 2: too is yet to be determined. Coach basically said, we'll

127
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 2: see where that goes. He didn't say week to week,

128
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 2: so I guess that's good. So maybe it's only a

129
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 2: strain and not a pulled muscle, right, So we'll have

130
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 2: to wait and see.

131
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: They all these guys will be in today. It's their

132
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: day off, but they'll all come in and get evaluated.

133
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 2: If you're injured, you have to.

134
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 1: They'll come in and get checked out. And the guys

135
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 1: who have been hurt will come in as a as

136
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 1: a normal day that because there's no practice, they'll come

137
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 1: in and rehab or do whatever. They'll get on the

138
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: stem machine or the cryo chamber or the hyperbaric chamber

139
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: or YadA YadA YadA, whatever they have, and they'll they'll

140
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 1: get looked at. So tomorrow when Sean McDermott speaks to

141
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: the media just before.

142
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 2: Noon, probably a more definitive updates.

143
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, they'll have some more concrete information.

144
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 2: It's officially a lost season though for Tyler bast The

145
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 2: Bills kicker had a hip and pelvic injury that landed

146
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 2: him on injured reserve at the start of the season

147
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 2: and it never improved enough, so he had surgery last week.

148
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 2: His season officially over, so really unfortunate. He tried everything

149
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,599
Speaker 2: he could to get it to a place where he

150
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 2: could get back in the lineup and kick, but we've

151
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:36,679
Speaker 2: seen him never improved enough.

152
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 1: He's he tried. We've seen him off and on trying

153
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 1: to kick, kick and do some stuff physically in you know,

154
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 1: he's been here on IR and he just can't do it.

155
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 1: And you can imagine, I mean, what is there a

156
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: worse injury.

157
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 2: For Well, it's just really bad when you're when the

158
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 2: mind is willing but the body is not, and that's

159
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 2: kind of the trap he fell into. So hopefully the

160
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,959
Speaker 2: surgery was successful and you know he can get back

161
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 2: to being one hundred percent healthy, which just never happened

162
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 2: through the course of the last that's several months.

163
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: If so. There you have it. I mean, we had

164
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 1: some callers yesterday talking about Prader and thinking, I don't know,

165
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: he's missed a couple in the last couple of weeks

166
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: in that well, there's no going back. Now, yeah, there

167
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: you have it. And I don't Prader's like eighteen of twenty, right,

168
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: or sixteen of eighteen on the season correct.

169
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 2: For field goals, sixteen of it. I know he's only

170
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 2: missed two.

171
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 1: Right, and that's yeah. I'm okay. He's hitting ninety percent

172
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: of his kicks.

173
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 2: He's missed three extra points though.

174
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: Now that's true, and that's a problem. But I think that's.

175
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:51,439
Speaker 2: Got to get rectified. Let's go around the NFL. Presented

176
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 2: by Kalida Health, the official healthcare system of the Buffalo Bills,

177
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,839
Speaker 2: the Patriots made it ten straight victories with a thirty

178
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 2: three to fifteen route of the hapless Giants, who are

179
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 2: now under interim head coach Mike Kafka. Drake May who

180
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 2: put up his sixth game with a seventy five percent

181
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 2: completion percentage or better Monday Night, now leads the NFL

182
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 2: in passing yards with just over thirty four hundred in

183
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 2: thirteen games. New England is the first team to eleven

184
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 2: wins this season as they head to their bye week

185
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 2: now before the rematch with the Bills in Foxborough next week.

186
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 2: If the Patriots beat the Bills in week fifteen, they

187
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 2: will clinch the AFC East and n Buffalo's run of

188
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 2: five straight division titles. New England was the last team

189
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:42,680
Speaker 2: to win the division before Buffalo in twenty nineteen.

190
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, they looked good last night. I'll beat against a

191
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: struggling Giants team with an interim head coach. But you

192
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:53,680
Speaker 1: know that's nothing to sneeze at. Fourth place. Schedule or not.

193
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 1: Patriots have won ten in a row. That's lost since

194
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: it is impressive. Bills still feel and I still feel

195
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 1: like that the Bills let that game here in Buffalo

196
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 1: get away from him by turning the football over. They

197
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: don't turn it. It's a different game. But there you

198
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: have it. I mean, that's the Patriots are winning games

199
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 1: the way they know how and the way they can

200
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 1: and that's you know, you can't sneeze at it. Those

201
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 1: guys are playing really well.

202
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,319
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, Giants first round pick Abduel Carter was benched for

203
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,199
Speaker 2: the first quarter of Monday Night's loss to the Patriots

204
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 2: because of tardiness. It was the second time in three

205
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 2: games that the rookie linebacker has been disciplined. Giants interim

206
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 2: head coach Mike Kafka described it as a coach's decision,

207
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 2: so late for meetings, practice, whatever it was, got benched

208
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 2: for a quarter. The injured reserve list is where Detroit

209
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 2: Lyons cornerback Terrian Arnold landed late yesterday due to a

210
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 2: shoulder injury, so he's going to be sidelined for at

211
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 2: least the next four games. Arnold was originally expected to

212
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 2: be out a long time, according to Lions coach Dan Campbell,

213
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 2: after a week five shoulder injury again Cincinnati, but he

214
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:11,680
Speaker 2: was able to return earlier than expected, seeking a second opinion,

215
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 2: But now the shoulder injury has cropped up again. Arnold

216
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 2: has appeared in eight games this season, with seven starts,

217
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 2: so that's another team that seems to get hit hard

218
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 2: by injury. Minnesota Vikings officially waived receiver Adam thieland one

219
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 2: day after he was a healthy scratch in the team's

220
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 2: twenty six to nothing loss to the Seahawks. The decision

221
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 2: Endsteeland's second stint with the Vikings, who are his hometown

222
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 2: team and for whom he ranks number three in career

223
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 2: touchdown catches with fifty five, fourth in receptions, fifth in

224
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 2: receiving yards. Set in a statement posted on social media

225
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 2: that he decided a while back twenty twenty five would

226
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 2: be his final NFL season, so he's hoping to find

227
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 2: a new home to go compete elsewhere for the last

228
00:12:58,080 --> 00:12:59,839
Speaker 2: few weeks of his career. He's trying to get to

229
00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 2: the playoffs and see if he can win a ring.

230
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 2: That's what he's looking for, so the Vikings are honoring

231
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 2: that because they are not headed to the postseason. Denver

232
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 2: Broncos are going to sign waved Bills receiver Elijah Moore

233
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 2: to their practice squad later today. As we know, the

234
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 2: Bills waived the receiver late last week. Tennessee Titans and

235
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 2: linebacker Kaiser White have mutually decided to part ways, so

236
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 2: he will go on waivers and become a free agent

237
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 2: if he clears waivers. Without being claimed. This is a

238
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 2: little disturbing. The New Jersey home of Eagles offensive coordinator

239
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 2: Kevin Petullo was vandalized with eggs early Saturday morning. According

240
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 2: to the Morristown Police Department. The incident occurred after the

241
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 2: Eagles Black Friday home loss to the Chicago Bears. A

242
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 2: video serviced on social media of multiple people throwing objects

243
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 2: at Patullo's home. It was originally thought to be rocks,

244
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 2: but police have conformed that it was an egging of

245
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 2: the home, which was a popular thing back in back

246
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:11,680
Speaker 2: in my day as a kid, with Halloween, you'd egg car.

247
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 2: People would egg cars and eggs houses. I never did

248
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 2: that for two reasons. Number one, if I got in trouble,

249
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 2: they'd be held to pay at home. And number two,

250
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 2: there was no way my mom was just giving me

251
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 2: eggs to waste and hurl at cars or houses or people.

252
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 2: So did you guys ever have that shaving cream and

253
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 2: eggs at Halloween? The community that, oh you couldn't trigger treat.

254
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, the community I grew up and was so small.

255
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 1: If you saw anybody, not only did you know who

256
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 1: it was, you knew where they lived and their parents

257
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 1: and their families. And their siblings. Yeah, so there was

258
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 1: no getting away with anything.

259
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 2: I don't know what the obsession was with shaving cream

260
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 2: and eggs, shavy cream like spray it on people and

261
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 2: shaving cream fights and stuff. I just don't I never

262
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 2: understood how they got linked up with Halloween. And Happy

263
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 2: birthday to Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who turns forty two today. Steve,

264
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 2: there were let's just say, some interesting comments by fans

265
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 2: on x or Twitter on the post that announced Rogers' birthday.

266
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 2: Here are some of the more entertaining ones. Just for

267
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 2: your just for your enjoyment. Burgermeister Rothlisberger tweeted surprised he

268
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 2: didn't overthrow his birthday by a week. Nick says to celebrate,

269
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 2: he should try completing a pass. Homeboy Simpson said, can't

270
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 2: believe he's sixty two, huge milestone, congrats. Gus is goaded

271
00:15:54,520 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 2: said where's the retirement post? Caesar says, happy birthday, Take

272
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 2: the week off. Wendy says, happy birthday. Now get your

273
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 2: head out of your arse and start playing ball, or

274
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 2: sit down and let Will Howard sling it. He's their

275
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 2: third string quarterback and beats by. Blizzi says after that,

276
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 2: your birthday is postponed until further notice. Steeler's Nation, as

277
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 2: we told you yesterday, is burning.

278
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's.

279
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: The Internet's just having a birthday.

280
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 2: Good Lord, lighten up people.

281
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 1: The Internet remains undefeated.

282
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 3: But there you have it.

283
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 2: Take the week off is my favorite. Oh boy, so

284
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 2: there he is Aaron Rodgers forty two years young. So

285
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 2: that's around the NFL presented by Kalida health h topic

286
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 2: of discussion for you today is at as follows. Can

287
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 2: the Bills defense repeat last week's performance against Cincinnati? You

288
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:10,879
Speaker 2: let us know what you think and why eight oh

289
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 2: three five point fifty won eight eight eight five point

290
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,880
Speaker 2: fifty two five fifty Those are the numbers to jump

291
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 2: on board with us, and we do have open lines

292
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 2: for you at the moment. It's a very different offense

293
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 2: that the Bills will be facing this week compared to

294
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 2: last week. That's part one. So you would anticipate the

295
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 2: game plan to be in stark contrast to what it

296
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 2: was last week to stop a Cincinnati offense that's probably

297
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 2: going to be throwing the ball far more than running it.

298
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:44,439
Speaker 2: Because I think a lot of us went into that

299
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,640
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh game anticipating that the Steelers were going to try

300
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,959
Speaker 2: to grind out a victory, hoping to get a few turnovers,

301
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 2: which they did get and run the ball effectively, which

302
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:58,639
Speaker 2: they did not do. As matter of fact, the Bills

303
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 2: probably that might have been the bills best run defense performance.

304
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 2: I'll check it out here. Well, I have the chance,

305
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 2: but I think they only gave up fifty eight yards

306
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 2: on the round. Yeah, that might be a season low

307
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 2: allowed by Buffalo this week.

308
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:19,360
Speaker 1: Yeah that the more and more we said it yesterday

309
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 1: and if you're coming to realize that it said that

310
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 1: game said more about the Pittsburgh Steelers than it did

311
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:28,680
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. Certainly, the Bills played, They beat them

312
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 1: twenty six to seven and played half a game. Yeah,

313
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 1: it was rough. The Steelers offense was nowhere to be found. Yeah,

314
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 1: the Bills rolled on both sides of the ball. The

315
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:47,719
Speaker 1: Steelers couldn't get out of their way defensively, they couldn't

316
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:52,199
Speaker 1: stop the same running play repeated over and over. It

317
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 1: was rough and even now the Steelers are having to

318
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 1: deal with the fallout from that loss.

319
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a season low allowed for rushing yards.

320
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, the fifty eight The Steelers are still having to

321
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 1: answer questions about how bad they looked and even so too,

322
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 1: and I all stand by it. I think more and

323
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,440
Speaker 1: more I was right about the altercation between Cam Hayward

324
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 1: and Josh Allen. Cam Hayward was trying to fire his

325
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 1: team up. Nothing happened in that pile. I've seen video

326
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 1: of it. You've seen clips of it. Ain't nobody did

327
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 1: anything to him. He got up and reacted, trying to

328
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 1: say that somebody cheap shot at him in the pile

329
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 1: and he didn't see it. He was trying to fire

330
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 1: his team up and nobody was doing it. Nobody was

331
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 1: having it. That in and of itself is an indictment

332
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 1: of where their locker room is. Right now, you got

333
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,360
Speaker 1: Aaron Rod thinks he needs to do that, that's right,

334
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 1: and nobody responded no, And you got your quarterback and

335
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 1: he's right. I mean, he checked to a pass on

336
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage and checked the route before the

337
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 1: ball was snapped, and the receiver wasn't paying attention, and

338
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 1: he threw it to the wrong area receivers not there

339
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:04,120
Speaker 1: because he didn't get the check, and the quarterback called

340
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 1: him out after the game. So they've got and they're

341
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 1: head coach people are calling for their head coach to

342
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 1: be fired, a head coach who's never had a losing

343
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 1: season after eighteen of them. This isn't like three years,

344
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,479
Speaker 1: it's like eighteen years. They've never had a losing season,

345
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 1: and now the people are calling for him to be fired. Yeah,

346
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 1: the Steelers are on fire right now and they're going

347
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 1: down in flames. It's it is not pretty. It is

348
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:35,400
Speaker 1: not pretty. So I think this game while, you take

349
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 1: it and you move on. And the Bills were the

350
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 1: better team. You still got, like I said, I said

351
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 1: this on Bills tonight, you got tougher games coming up

352
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 1: on the horizon with Cincinnati, New England and then Cleveland.

353
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 1: That defense coming in.

354
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's true. And even the Philly defense is good.

355
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 1: Philly, Philly, are you kidding me? They're defending champions and

356
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 1: they're their fans are beside themselves with that team.

357
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:07,120
Speaker 2: And in the playoffs, they can't score points. That's their problem.

358
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 2: Their problem is they can't score points and they're not

359
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 2: maximizing the talent that they have on.

360
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 1: The ISD They're gonna win the division and their fans

361
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 1: are livid. They've lost their last two and no question,

362
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,440
Speaker 1: I mean that's about. You can imagine where Bills fans

363
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 1: are when when the Bills lose to in a row,

364
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 1: but it's their second two game losing streak of the season.

365
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 1: They did it. They lost in Week five against the Broncos.

366
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 1: Then they got beat by the Giants, remember that back

367
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:33,360
Speaker 1: in Week six. Now they've lost their last two here

368
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:37,879
Speaker 1: in week twelve and thirteen, they're gonna they're gonna have it.

369
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:39,440
Speaker 1: They're gonna put the chip on their shoulder and they're

370
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:41,399
Speaker 1: gonna gather it up. But they're too good not to

371
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,120
Speaker 1: be not to be good, right. Their roster's too good,

372
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 1: they've got too much experience, and they've just came off

373
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 1: the World Championship. Yeah, so the Bills have it their

374
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 1: work cut out for them coming down to the last

375
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 1: month and a half of the season.

376
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,440
Speaker 2: All that being said, the Bills are the number one

377
00:21:56,480 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 2: pass defense in the NFL. You could argue that that's

378
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:04,200
Speaker 2: because teams have not had to throw on them too

379
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 2: terribly much because they're usually getting yards on the ground

380
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 2: against Buffalo, but you saw what happened last week when

381
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 2: the Steelers couldn't run and had to throw. Now do

382
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 2: they have the same weapons as the Cincinnati Bengals. Absolutely not.

383
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 2: They don't have the same quarterback as the Cincinnati Bengals either,

384
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:26,879
Speaker 2: maybe back in his prime, but not now. So Yeah,

385
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:31,680
Speaker 2: it's in stark contrast the offense they'll face this week.

386
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 1: You would like to think the Bills are going to

387
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:37,679
Speaker 1: be significantly healthier coming into this week on game on Sunday.

388
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,119
Speaker 1: It's only Tuesday and they're still we don't know how

389
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 1: these guys are going to go. But Kincaid, Brown knocks

390
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:51,360
Speaker 1: a sorry, Palmer and Dawkins. Those four would help. Palmer

391
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:53,680
Speaker 1: is gonna help. There's four guys on offense that would

392
00:22:53,760 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 1: really help you off your passing game anyway. Yeah, that's

393
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,400
Speaker 1: you would think the Bills are going to be significantly healthier,

394
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 1: But there's no guarantees yet, and that gives you a

395
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:09,959
Speaker 1: little bit more of a fighting chance, particularly in your

396
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:10,479
Speaker 1: own building.

397
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,920
Speaker 2: I just really wonder if a team, if a team

398
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 2: like the Bengals, who throw the ball and feel comfortable

399
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 2: doing so, would even consider trying to run a little

400
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 2: bit more. Knowing the Bills have for most of the

401
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:31,159
Speaker 2: year struggled to stop the run. They didn't last week.

402
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 2: I wonder if they test that. I think they'll try

403
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 2: to test it a little bit. I don't think it's

404
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 2: going to be the bulk of their game plan in

405
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 2: any event, Let's go to the phones at eight oh

406
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 2: three oh five fifty into Kevin and Hamburg. What's up, Kevin?

407
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 5: How you're doing badge in my car? I think they can,

408
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,879
Speaker 5: but I'm really scared because Joe Burrow. We have not

409
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,639
Speaker 5: done good the last couple of times we played Joe Burrow,

410
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,879
Speaker 5: including the playoff round team, which I know was a

411
00:23:57,960 --> 00:23:59,919
Speaker 5: rough year. You know, you have the Demorrow Hamblin thing

412
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,120
Speaker 5: in snowstorms, but even twenty three, when there was none

413
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 5: of that stuff, we looked terrible against Joe Burrow. Well,

414
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 5: we didn't look wonderful. I'll tell you that in the game.

415
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 5: And I mean it was early November, a couple of

416
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 5: weeks before we fired Ken Dorsey. And here's the thing

417
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 5: that carried me about Joe Burrow. Last week was the

418
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 5: first game back from what in September, and he didn't

419
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 5: even have a single hardly blunder, didn't even you know,

420
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 5: you think a guy comes back after that long on

421
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,359
Speaker 5: the bench, he may throw a bad pig, or fumble

422
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,679
Speaker 5: a snap or something. He didn't even do that, So

423
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 5: I don't know, can they I hope so they're just better,

424
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 5: let's put it that way.

425
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:43,439
Speaker 1: Last Cincinnati, the last Cincinnati quarterback the Bill's beat was

426
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton. Yeah, bough the game that was canceled obviously

427
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 1: because of the demor Amblin injury. I haven't beaten him.

428
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's three and oh against them. So yeah, the

429
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:58,640
Speaker 2: Bengals have kind of had the Bill's number of late.

430
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 2: We'll see if they can change that on Sunday. Got

431
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 2: to take a break here, but when we come back,

432
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 2: we will get to some of your phone calls. But

433
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 2: we'll also check in with former Bill center Mitch Morris

434
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 2: for his weekly from the Armchair discussion. We'll do that

435
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 2: with him when we return here on One Bill's Live,

436
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 2: presented by Klaida Helton's Buffalo Bills Radio. Back here on

437
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 2: One Bill's Live, and it's time now for our weekly

438
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 2: segment with former Bill center Mitch Morris. It's called from

439
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 2: the Armchair and it's presented by Ray Moore and Flannagan.

440
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 2: Raymore and Flannagan is a proud partner of the Buffalo

441
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 2: Bill as well. I have to believe Mitch that Sunday's

442
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:56,639
Speaker 2: performance by Buffalo's offense is something that probably fills you

443
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,119
Speaker 2: with a sense of pride. I would think two hundred

444
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 2: and forty nine yards on the ground, and as we know,

445
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 2: offensive linemen love going forward a whole lot more than

446
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 2: they do going backwards. So just your overall thoughts on

447
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:13,880
Speaker 2: the two hundred and forty nine yard rushing effort by

448
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 2: the Buffalo Bills.

449
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:19,200
Speaker 6: Well, Chris, it filled me up with something joy lust.

450
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:21,719
Speaker 6: I don't know what it was, but whatever it was,

451
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:25,879
Speaker 6: I appreciate it very much. Yeah, listen, we knew what

452
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 6: this game was going to be about. You have two

453
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 6: guys coming in tackle wise who hadn't gotten many reps,

454
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 6: and you're going against a formidable front that rushes the passer.

455
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:39,399
Speaker 6: You had a game plan well executed, and you go

456
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 6: with the flow. And I think that's a real promising

457
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 6: thing to see coming up here as we go on

458
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,399
Speaker 6: this little late season run, is that you can be

459
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 6: pliable with game plans. You can see how to attack

460
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 6: a defense, you can accentuate your strengths while diminishing your deficits, right,

461
00:26:57,640 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 6: And that's what we saw in this game plan, and

462
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:01,159
Speaker 6: I think that was really fun to see. And you

463
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:04,879
Speaker 6: saw a little physical physicality rather that also got a

464
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 6: little bit of lustful juice in this body of mine.

465
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:09,639
Speaker 6: It was just a really fun game to watch. It

466
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:11,920
Speaker 6: was a real good tone setter to set this team

467
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:13,400
Speaker 6: up going forward in December.

468
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:15,919
Speaker 1: And the thing that really set the tone was when

469
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 1: Josh went over slid and took a late hit and

470
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:19,440
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, it kind of flipped a switch

471
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:24,120
Speaker 1: on the attitude of the entire offense. Certainly it led

472
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 1: to I think that was on the drive that they

473
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:29,200
Speaker 1: got the field going right before halftime and they come

474
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 1: out after halftime and the defense actually takes over and

475
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:35,159
Speaker 1: gets a couple of quick turnovers, gives the offense the

476
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 1: lead and for the first time they're front running. I mean,

477
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 1: that game turned on in the last two minutes of

478
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 1: the first half and the first three minutes of the

479
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,679
Speaker 1: second half. All of a sudden, it turned in. It

480
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:47,679
Speaker 1: turned into a laugher.

481
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, I would agree, And to your point, I think

482
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 6: having those two turnovers, overcoming that with just one score

483
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 6: by the opposing team and then having those you know

484
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:01,680
Speaker 6: those really and horton eight minutes in a game, right,

485
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 6: you hear folks talk about it at the middle eight.

486
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 6: That kind of sets the town for that back half

487
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 6: of the game, and the Buffalo Bills not only capitalize

488
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 6: on that, they played the style of football that they've

489
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,640
Speaker 6: been looking for, which is that playoff caliber, championship caliber

490
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 6: coach speak that we hear. But it's true and you

491
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 6: saw it, and I think you can any Joshmo watching

492
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 6: that can attest to the fact that that was a

493
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 6: physical team, the Bills, that being a physical team that

494
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:29,960
Speaker 6: was executing well and feeding energy to each other and

495
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,359
Speaker 6: really kind of the first time this season we've seen

496
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 6: a team the Buffalo team rather going into a hostile

497
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 6: environment on the road than kind of imposing their will,

498
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 6: especially in that second half of that game.

499
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 2: I'm not trying to take anything away from the offensive

500
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 2: line with their performance in this one, not to mention

501
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 2: the fact that the tight ends and receivers blocked their

502
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 2: bhookies off as well. But on a given play, when

503
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 2: maybe the hole created isn't what it's supposed to be,

504
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 2: or the Steelers or whatever the opponent is just happens

505
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 2: to have a better call on a given run play,

506
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 2: how much does James Cook bail out the offense at times?

507
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 2: You know, because I'm thinking of these runs that he

508
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 2: just bends back the other way and just outraces a

509
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 2: corner back to the edge, just completely defeats the defensive

510
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 2: play call, makes something out of nothing, if you will.

511
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:33,239
Speaker 2: How I just feel like we've seen him do that

512
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 2: a handful of times almost every week.

513
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, Chris, dude, he is everything you want in a

514
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:44,479
Speaker 6: running back. He you know, he gives you confidence as

515
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 6: an offensive lineman too. You hear the old adage, just

516
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 6: have a hat on a hat that's the most important thing.

517
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 6: And this team's doing that, of course, also displacing defensive lineman.

518
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 6: But you, guys have a guy who has contact balance,

519
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 6: you have a guy who has the speed, he's got

520
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 6: the vision, he's got the endurance. He's a total package,

521
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 6: and he's a great teammate. Like he's not the most

522
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 6: vocal dude on planet Earth, but he's always there for

523
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 6: his guys. He's always got the guy's back and he

524
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 6: runs hard, and that's all you want in a running back.

525
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 6: He's the full he's the full package dude, like, and

526
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 6: he's he was there time and time again in the

527
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 6: past game and the run game making something out of nothing.

528
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 6: Of course, there were a few holes that were my

529
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 6: Grandma could walk through. But the reality of the NFL

530
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 6: is that's not that's not there that often. And when

531
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 6: you have a guy like that who's able to make

532
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 6: something out of nothing and do it time and time again,

533
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 6: game and game again, and then the biggest moments when

534
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 6: you need him to perform is there. It's poetry, man, Truly.

535
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 1: One of the things that came out of this game

536
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 1: was the fact that Bill's kind of repeated their run

537
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 1: game over and over and over. Now, I mean, it's

538
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 1: all great, but as a offensive lineman, you're thinking, at

539
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 1: some point, this is going to get really hard, you

540
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 1: know what I mean. You're expecting that defense to like

541
00:30:58,320 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 1: hammer you all of a sudden, you gotta run that

542
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 1: we're gonna make you pay for it. So you kind

543
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 1: of anticipate the defense making that really hard for you.

544
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 1: But man, they never did. I mean, how's that feel

545
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 1: for an offensive lineman when you go out there the thinking, man,

546
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 1: is this gonna work again?

547
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 2: Yeah?

548
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 6: Well, I would assume that the offensive linemen, we're hoping

549
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 6: you kept running the play right. If it's not broke,

550
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 6: don't fix it. Yes, you understand that, especially very I

551
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 6: mean historically, stout run defense is going to make adjustments

552
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 6: and stuff. But it kind of blew out the adage

553
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 6: in the old verbiage that says, you know nowadays, don't

554
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 6: just run the football and do something just because you're

555
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 6: a physical offensive line. Don't do the same play. This

556
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 6: is what we do well kind of spit in my face.

557
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:44,720
Speaker 6: Joe Brady did that and it worked out really well.

558
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 6: So I just love what it was doing. It was

559
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 6: a tone center. You saw the guys roll with it.

560
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 6: It gave the guys energy and I think you guys

561
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 6: alluded to it. The thing that kind of fired me

562
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 6: up a little bit. When you look at physicality as

563
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 6: a full of course, you look at offensive line, defense

564
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 6: of line, big hits. What I do as an ex

565
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 6: players I look, especially in the offensive side of the

566
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 6: ball is I look at the receivers. How are they blocking?

567
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 6: And they were asked to do a lot, especially in

568
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 6: the backside of that outside zone that they were running

569
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 6: to the left about thirty or forty times. And you

570
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 6: see guys like Khlil Shakir Tyrol Shaver is more than

571
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 6: once fitting in between the tight end and tackle and

572
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 6: really digging guys out. And when you have that, that

573
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 6: fires guys up. That's infectious. That's what you're talking about.

574
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 6: When you have a physical ass team, that's what you want.

575
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 6: And I promise you that's what they're going to be

576
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 6: showing over and over again yesterday and throughout the weeks

577
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 6: coming up. And this is the standard. Now you've shown it. Congratulations.

578
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 6: Now we've seen you can do it, and this is

579
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 6: what this team needs.

580
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 2: Spinning it forward to this game again Cincinnati. The job

581
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 2: defensively would appear on the surface to be considerably different

582
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 2: than what they encountered this week in Pittsburgh. But that

583
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 2: being said, Mitch, would you be surprised if I told

584
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 2: you that the Cincinnati Bengals ran it thirty three times

585
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 2: against the Baltimore Ravens on Thanksgiving last week?

586
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 6: It would not, just because I gave it a look.

587
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 6: But yeah, listen, this is a team that, historically, especially

588
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 6: with Joe Burrow quarterback, is pass happy, and I still

589
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 6: think they passed it almost fifty times, right, But if

590
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 6: you have a team that can rush for one hundred

591
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 6: and thirty three yards, which I think is what they

592
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 6: did against the Baltimore Ravens historically pretty stout defense themselves,

593
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 6: that's a team that's dangerous. That's a team that you

594
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 6: don't want to play right now, especially with Joe Burrow

595
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 6: at the helm and a team that, yes they might

596
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 6: be out of contention, but they're there to bust. Brackets

597
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 6: have nothing to lose, man, So what you do is

598
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 6: you hunker down, understand what you're walking into, which is

599
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 6: a Cincinnati team that's given this team in the past

600
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 6: a little bit of trouble. But what are you gonna do.

601
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 6: I think you have a great game that you can

602
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 6: look back at, which is the Pittsburgh Steeler game, and

603
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 6: just kind of go back and say, this is the standard.

604
00:33:57,680 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 6: We've seen it. It's a beautiful thing both offense and

605
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:03,480
Speaker 6: d offensively, this is the standard. And another guy, this

606
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 6: is just kind of a random thought, but something that

607
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 6: jumped out of the screen was that if this team

608
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:10,960
Speaker 6: can get Shaq Thompson on the field as much as possible,

609
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 6: that would be super duper because he is a difference maker.

610
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:18,280
Speaker 6: And I'm not saying replace other guys or on that

611
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 6: that's not my cup of tea. I love all the

612
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 6: guys we have, but implement him.

613
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:21,879
Speaker 7: Man.

614
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 6: He was flying off the screen, he was thumping dudes,

615
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 6: He had the Holy Spirit and it was fun. I

616
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 6: just long story short, it was fun to see him play,

617
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 6: and I just love the style of football that he plays.

618
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:36,279
Speaker 6: And it's exactly what this team needs. If you have

619
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 6: a guy like that leading your defense and tackling, if

620
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 6: you have a linebacker leading your defensive tackling, that usually

621
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 6: means that something's going well. And I think that's what

622
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 6: you saw this past weekend.

623
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:48,399
Speaker 1: So this you have the Cincinnati team coming in and

624
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:50,719
Speaker 1: their defense is given up more points than any other

625
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 1: defense in the league. So you feel like you're gonna

626
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:59,239
Speaker 1: be okay offensively. Defensively, you know, you've got to look

627
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 1: at their offenses. Man, they're a wagon. We got to

628
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:04,320
Speaker 1: do something. So and this is where this finger quoting

629
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 1: the complimentary football thing. You beat a team like Cincinnati

630
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 1: with both sides of your club, right, so you get

631
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 1: an offense out there that like we saw in this

632
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh game. They had three drives of fourteen, fifteen and

633
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:21,240
Speaker 1: sixteen plays. They had a drive that took nine minutes.

634
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 1: They all end in the second the last half of

635
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 1: that game, they had three possessions or four possessions. They

636
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:31,360
Speaker 1: had forty two minutes of possession time. I mean, is

637
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 1: that kind of the game plan where you want to

638
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 1: keep the other offense off the field, limit their chances,

639
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 1: maximize yours. Or is that trying to play it a

640
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 1: little bit too cute and just go out there, put

641
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 1: your foot on the gas. Score when you can score,

642
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:48,880
Speaker 1: because this defense isn't that good, then then do what

643
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 1: you can do with the rest. I mean, what's your

644
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:53,279
Speaker 1: game plan philosophy going into this game?

645
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:56,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, Steve, I would go with the former out of

646
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:59,880
Speaker 6: those two options. Right, you don't take any team lightly.

647
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 6: And I know that's also coach speak, it's the truth.

648
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:06,640
Speaker 6: Anyone who watched this raven Cincinnati game realizes this is

649
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 6: not the same team that started off this season. Whatever's

650
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 6: going on in that building, if it's Joe Burrow back

651
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:14,319
Speaker 6: or it's just kind of the seasons falling into place

652
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 6: for him, they're playing inspired football. What I like about

653
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 6: not only the time of possession, especially with Joe Burrow

654
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:24,759
Speaker 6: on the other side of the ball, is that usually

655
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 6: that means your run game is performing at a level

656
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 6: that's conducive for winning football games. Wearing defenses out keeping

657
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 6: offenses on this you know, their opposing sidelines. So yeah, dude,

658
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 6: I think you know not to say that this team

659
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:41,279
Speaker 6: is exclusively running fifty one times. You know, I think

660
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 6: that was just kind of an anomaly. But you know

661
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 6: who says, don't pound the rock. You don't have to

662
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:48,759
Speaker 6: take these sexy long ball shots. It's not this team

663
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 6: that's okay, score points, get your defensive breather, and keep

664
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:55,239
Speaker 6: the ball out of Joe Burrow's hands. Man, We've just

665
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 6: seen it year after year, time and time again. Guy's

666
00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:00,800
Speaker 6: a special player, calls spade a spade with those weapons,

667
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:04,839
Speaker 6: and you'd say a team that was historically one dimensional. Yeah, yeah,

668
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 6: they ran for one hundred and thirty three yards against

669
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:09,440
Speaker 6: the Ravens last week, So yeah, I think you do.

670
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:12,799
Speaker 6: You accentuate what you do well, and time possession, I

671
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 6: think is one of those the more underrated statistics in

672
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 6: the NFL.

673
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 1: Is there any merit in inviting the Bengals to run

674
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:23,719
Speaker 1: the football?

675
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, dude, absolutely. I mean, like, I don't know

676
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 6: T Higgins's status, right, you have a generational talent like

677
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:32,920
Speaker 6: Jamar Chase, and then you've got a guy who's been

678
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:34,759
Speaker 6: throwing it to him for the last decade or so.

679
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:38,799
Speaker 6: You know, Joe Burrow, do everything you can, right, Like

680
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 6: I do think this is going to be a big

681
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:44,319
Speaker 6: game for Cole Bishop. Let's just call it how it is.

682
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:46,880
Speaker 6: I think this could be a really tone setting game

683
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 6: for his career. And yeah, I would like to see

684
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:54,040
Speaker 6: the boys find a way to make them one dimensional

685
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:56,200
Speaker 6: running it, but they're going to be airing out a

686
00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 6: little bit. And I'm excited to see the young players

687
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 6: that secondary. I mean Christian Pinford coming off the game,

688
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 6: he had holy col like, just let's get the ball

689
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:04,359
Speaker 6: rolling with us to see how it goes.

690
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:08,920
Speaker 2: Mitch, thanks for the time, especially on VAK. We appreciate it.

691
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:10,799
Speaker 2: We'll catch up with you next week.

692
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:11,680
Speaker 1: Thanks Mitch.

693
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:13,279
Speaker 6: You guys are great. I appreciate you.

694
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 8: Guys.

695
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:15,480
Speaker 2: All right, that's Mitch Morris joining us as he does

696
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:18,279
Speaker 2: every week for his from the Armchair segment presented by

697
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 2: Raymore and Flanning. It gonna squeeze a phone call in

698
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:24,760
Speaker 2: here before the break and go to Ken in Buffalo.

699
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 1: What's up Ken?

700
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:28,040
Speaker 8: Hey, Good afternoon, fellars.

701
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:28,840
Speaker 9: How we're doing today?

702
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 1: Good good?

703
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:33,960
Speaker 8: Thanks for taking my car really really quick. To address

704
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 8: the question that you are presented that if tend to

705
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:41,120
Speaker 8: bills defense, you know, duplicate what they did against Pittsburgh,

706
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:43,480
Speaker 8: and I would say they asked this, sure they can

707
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:46,920
Speaker 8: be they and I would answer it in the affirmative,

708
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:51,239
Speaker 8: they must because it's side it can play that way.

709
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 8: Then we have a.

710
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:55,279
Speaker 7: New identity as a team. I would also add about

711
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 7: this defense that the past.

712
00:38:57,520 --> 00:38:59,600
Speaker 8: Divas has been pretty good all year and has now

713
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 8: a sid that the number one. The other part of

714
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 8: it is for the last six quarters, they've been fairly dominant,

715
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:08,799
Speaker 8: you know, closing out the sections game, allowed just three

716
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 8: points in the second half, and then only allowing seven

717
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:14,520
Speaker 8: against Pittsburgh, you know, and that seven, of course was

718
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:17,759
Speaker 8: off eternover. So given what happened, given would have taken

719
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:20,560
Speaker 8: shape of the last six quarters, I'd say the signs

720
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 8: are very encouraging. The other part is Joe excuse Joe Burrow,

721
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:28,279
Speaker 8: He's gonna come here very very confident, no doubt about it.

722
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 8: He played very, very well against the Bengals, and he

723
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:33,919
Speaker 8: has every reason to feel confident playing against us as

724
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 8: well as he has h you know, in the future,

725
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 8: in particular that playoff game. But the other part of

726
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:42,120
Speaker 8: it is this, this team is best suited to run

727
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 8: through James Cook offensively, and what we saw against Pittsburgh

728
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 8: was that there was complimentary football in the sense that

729
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:51,920
Speaker 8: the strength of the offensive line seemed to also influence

730
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 8: the strength of the defensive line. And as you all know,

731
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 8: we can control both sides of the ball in terms

732
00:39:57,200 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 8: of the line of scrimmage and your chances to win

733
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:01,440
Speaker 8: and go up exponential. So I'm looking forward to seeing

734
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 8: how this team responds to the challenge. We have had

735
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:08,040
Speaker 8: problems getting up getting pumped up for teams with bad records. Well,

736
00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:10,040
Speaker 8: we know the Bengals aren't as bad as their record

737
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:12,440
Speaker 8: would suggest. So I think that's the challenge that McDermott

738
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:15,759
Speaker 8: his stive has to get these players' mindset right to

739
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 8: realize they're not playing against the Bengals team that's three

740
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:20,759
Speaker 8: or four games under five hundred, but instead of team

741
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 8: that's trying to make a run for the playoffs. So

742
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:25,560
Speaker 8: haven't said as much in the lastly Cooking Davis that

743
00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:28,359
Speaker 8: won two punts. I like to weigh and unfolded, and

744
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:30,520
Speaker 8: I look forward to seeing more of that going forward.

745
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:31,879
Speaker 8: Thank you kind of for taking my car.

746
00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 2: All right, thanks ken a lot in there.

747
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:35,000
Speaker 1: Good stuff.

748
00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:39,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, can they? Yes, will they? That's what you're hoping for?

749
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:42,440
Speaker 2: And look, I'm not I don't think we should be

750
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:46,799
Speaker 2: concerned about them playing down to their level of competition now,

751
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:50,880
Speaker 2: because when this team gets to December, they kind of

752
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:53,759
Speaker 2: know what the situation is, and the situation is they

753
00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:56,680
Speaker 2: got to start stacking wins and fast. It's a super

754
00:40:56,719 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 2: tight conference race right now. So I'm not while I

755
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 2: understand why that might be a concern based on past

756
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:10,160
Speaker 2: history Week six at Atlanta, you know, a few weeks

757
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:13,560
Speaker 2: later against Miami, I get it. I get why you

758
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:16,200
Speaker 2: have that sentiment, But at this time of the year,

759
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:20,160
Speaker 2: that is not a problem. I don't believe whether you're

760
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:22,400
Speaker 2: playing a one win team, a five win team, a

761
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:24,520
Speaker 2: ten win team, you got to win all of them.

762
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 2: At this point. All you got to do is look

763
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:30,080
Speaker 2: at the conference race and you realize every conference game

764
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:34,840
Speaker 2: is of enhanced magnitude because of what the race looks

765
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:35,439
Speaker 2: like right now.

766
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:38,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Bills are on the cusp of missing If

767
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:42,320
Speaker 1: they lose a game, they're gonna start looking around needing

768
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:45,319
Speaker 1: help with a month to go in the season. Forget it.

769
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:46,520
Speaker 1: I mean they don't want to any part of that.

770
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:49,759
Speaker 1: They've yeah, they've they've got to realize what's at stake here.

771
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 1: And you bring up a good point. The last six

772
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:54,600
Speaker 1: quarters of defensive football have been pretty good for Buffalo,

773
00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 1: the last half at in Houston and then this all

774
00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:02,080
Speaker 1: four quarters of the game against Pittsburgh. Now, Houston and

775
00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:07,759
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh aren't Juggernauts offensively, but nevertheless, the Bills defense was dominant.

776
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:11,440
Speaker 1: And you want to see that against a team that

777
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:13,360
Speaker 1: you should beat anyway, at least on that side of

778
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:19,480
Speaker 1: the ball. And I agree with you, James Cook. The

779
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:22,840
Speaker 1: bigger role James Cook has and the more success he has,

780
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:25,160
Speaker 1: the better off this team is going to be because

781
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:27,799
Speaker 1: you've always got the MVP taken snaps and he can

782
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:29,640
Speaker 1: always like he did a couple of times in the

783
00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:33,879
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh game that kind of go unnoticed. The guy puts

784
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 1: the cape on, gets you that the first down, that

785
00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:37,880
Speaker 1: kind of goes, oh yeah, I forgot about that first down.

786
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:40,960
Speaker 1: I went back and watched the game today. He avoided

787
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:43,840
Speaker 1: two sacks in the backfield and runs for ten yards

788
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:46,960
Speaker 1: and it's a first down. It's a backbreaker for a defense,

789
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:50,720
Speaker 1: and it goes unnoticed in the game as the game flows.

790
00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:52,359
Speaker 1: He's get out. They got a first down back there,

791
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 1: Like on a second and nine, Josh snaps off a

792
00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:58,800
Speaker 1: nine yard run or a ten yard run. It happened

793
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:00,839
Speaker 1: a couple times. The eight yard touch down run where

794
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:03,880
Speaker 1: he just tucks it stepped. It was a pass play.

795
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:06,080
Speaker 1: He just steps up into the pocket and everybody pushes

796
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:08,520
Speaker 1: him in eight yard touchdown. Let's go. I own the

797
00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:10,279
Speaker 1: NFL record for touchdowns by a.

798
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:14,239
Speaker 2: Quarterback manipulating the defense by pumping to Dawson Knox by

799
00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:14,759
Speaker 2: the front pile.

800
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:18,800
Speaker 1: JN Coleman from the graveyard catches that pass right, he

801
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:21,799
Speaker 1: spends Josh Bought time on. He pump fakes, the guy

802
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:24,759
Speaker 1: jumps over his head, he steps around him, and then

803
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:26,600
Speaker 1: fires a dart to key On in the back of

804
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:30,719
Speaker 1: the end zone. Touchdown there. If James Cook down and

805
00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:34,600
Speaker 1: Ray Davis can do that, you know, can be that

806
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:39,480
Speaker 1: engine of this offense. That guy's you're playing b and

807
00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:44,280
Speaker 1: that's that's a problem. That is a real problem for opponents,

808
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:48,040
Speaker 1: for opponents. So I'm with you right there, Ken, it's

809
00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:50,600
Speaker 1: a good call. I agree with about everything you said

810
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:53,600
Speaker 1: in there, starting with the Cook and Davis won two punch.

811
00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:55,960
Speaker 2: Break time for us here more of your phone calls

812
00:43:56,040 --> 00:43:58,319
Speaker 2: when we get back on a Tuesday edition and one

813
00:43:58,320 --> 00:43:59,240
Speaker 2: Bill's Live stay.

814
00:43:59,040 --> 00:43:59,480
Speaker 10: With us.

815
00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:18,840
Speaker 2: All right back here on one Bills Live Chris Brown,

816
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:21,520
Speaker 2: Steve Tasker with you, and it is signed for game

817
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 2: day mentality presented by Best Self, Best Self Behavioral Health

818
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:30,439
Speaker 2: official mental health partner of the Buffalo Bills. Obviously, young

819
00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:33,760
Speaker 2: players won't remember this, but you heard Mitch Morris reference

820
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:37,279
Speaker 2: it in our last segment. His team has been a

821
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:39,920
Speaker 2: bit of a buggaboo for the Bills. How do you

822
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:43,000
Speaker 2: handle that? How do you handle that as a staff

823
00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:45,440
Speaker 2: and as a veteran player that has not beaten this

824
00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:46,120
Speaker 2: team before.

825
00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:51,480
Speaker 1: It does light a fire, no question about it. You

826
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 1: don't want to repeat of what has happened in the past.

827
00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:00,680
Speaker 1: We talked about it with Mitch Morrison the last segment.

828
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:03,320
Speaker 1: You've got to show up early in this game. You

829
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:05,760
Speaker 1: got to take control of the game. If their defense

830
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:09,600
Speaker 1: has struggled in the past, don't turn the football over

831
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:14,400
Speaker 1: to these jokers. Run the football, soak up the time.

832
00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:19,120
Speaker 1: Leave Burrow and Chase and Higgins on the sideline and

833
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:21,960
Speaker 1: just and do what you did to the Steelers. Use

834
00:45:22,040 --> 00:45:27,120
Speaker 1: James Cook and Ty Johnson, matriculate down the field. Have

835
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:30,600
Speaker 1: nine have those fourteen, fifteen and sixteen play drives like

836
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:34,120
Speaker 1: you did in the second half of the Pittsburgh game,

837
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:38,160
Speaker 1: Bill's Steelers game and make them keep up with you.

838
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:40,160
Speaker 1: You've got to get points on the board when you've

839
00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:43,600
Speaker 1: got it. Take advantage of a defense that struggled all year,

840
00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:47,520
Speaker 1: and have some confidence in what you do well. Stick

841
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:52,560
Speaker 1: with the running game. Run it on, run pass neutral downs,

842
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:57,160
Speaker 1: run it. Make him stop you. Hendrickson's not going to

843
00:45:57,200 --> 00:46:01,080
Speaker 1: be in this game. It doesn't look like you should

844
00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:04,719
Speaker 1: be able to dominate the line of scrimmage. If you

845
00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:08,239
Speaker 1: can do that and not turn the football over, you

846
00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:10,000
Speaker 1: should be able to walk out of there with a win.

847
00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:14,399
Speaker 1: Since I had they came back. It was a big

848
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:16,840
Speaker 1: splash last week. Going to Baltimore team they don't like

849
00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:20,560
Speaker 1: all of that stuff. It'll be just the opposite form this.

850
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:22,439
Speaker 1: So this is a team that they've had their way with.

851
00:46:23,880 --> 00:46:27,680
Speaker 1: We'll see, but that's my mente game day mentalite. You

852
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:30,959
Speaker 1: got to show up and punch him in the mouth

853
00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:35,839
Speaker 1: and just run the football at him and just force

854
00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:37,000
Speaker 1: their offense to watch it.

855
00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:42,400
Speaker 2: They have been a team that hasn't been shy about

856
00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:46,279
Speaker 2: being chippy and trying to intimidate the opponent, and I

857
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:50,560
Speaker 2: would say the catalyst for that in previous years was

858
00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:55,040
Speaker 2: Joe Mixon. Mixing is no longer on that roster, and

859
00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:57,480
Speaker 2: I wonder if that has taken some of the starch

860
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:08,560
Speaker 2: out of their eagerness to be arrogant, intimidating, that kind

861
00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:12,480
Speaker 2: of thing. Obviously that doesn't apply to the defensive side

862
00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:14,479
Speaker 2: of the ball. Just Mixing was their running back. He's

863
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:17,200
Speaker 2: now when Houston and his season's over due to injury.

864
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:23,040
Speaker 2: But I do I do wonder if they still harbor

865
00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:32,279
Speaker 2: some of that bluster and arrogance and overconfidence that the

866
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:35,640
Speaker 2: Bills a lot of times could not match. And I

867
00:47:35,719 --> 00:47:37,960
Speaker 2: thought it played a role in some of the previous

868
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:41,520
Speaker 2: meetings between these two teams. I don't I'm not sensing

869
00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:43,640
Speaker 2: that I see as much of that on tape from

870
00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:46,640
Speaker 2: the Bengals as we have in the past. But if

871
00:47:46,640 --> 00:47:48,520
Speaker 2: it's there, the Bills better be ready to match that

872
00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:49,040
Speaker 2: as well.

873
00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:52,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, you got to show up, and we've talked about

874
00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:53,719
Speaker 1: it a lot. You're you're in a dog fight, and

875
00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:56,480
Speaker 1: these are you're fighting for your playoff life right now.

876
00:47:56,480 --> 00:47:59,480
Speaker 1: Even with the record as good as they have, you're

877
00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:02,200
Speaker 1: within two or three games of everybody in your conference

878
00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:06,000
Speaker 1: except for maybe the Patriots. That you're chasing. You gotta

879
00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:07,920
Speaker 1: light the you gotta have a fire lit under you

880
00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:11,280
Speaker 1: earlier than they did it against Pittsburgh.

881
00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:13,399
Speaker 2: Gotta take a break here, But when we come back,

882
00:48:13,440 --> 00:48:18,920
Speaker 2: our number two will begin with ESPN NFL analyst Dan Orlowsky.

883
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:20,719
Speaker 2: We'll talk to him about the game that was Bill

884
00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:24,560
Speaker 2: Steelers and the game coming up against another AFC North

885
00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:27,400
Speaker 2: opponent when we return here on One Bill's Live presented

886
00:48:27,440 --> 00:49:07,840
Speaker 2: by Kalida Health, It's Buffalo Bill's Radio.

887
00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:16,680
Speaker 5: The One Bill's Live presented by Calllida Health.

888
00:49:17,440 --> 00:49:20,279
Speaker 2: Second hour of the show on Tuesday can only mean

889
00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:22,080
Speaker 2: one thing here on One Bill's Live. It means we're

890
00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:26,560
Speaker 2: joined by ESPN NFL analyst Dan Orlovsky, whose appearances on

891
00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:29,240
Speaker 2: One Bill's Live are presented by Caesar's Sportsbook and official

892
00:49:29,280 --> 00:49:32,799
Speaker 2: mobile sports betting partner of The Buffalo Bill's. Fresh off

893
00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:37,000
Speaker 2: the Monday night telecast up in New England where it

894
00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:41,959
Speaker 2: wasn't really a game, Dan joins us, hopefully you got

895
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:46,600
Speaker 2: some handful of hours of sleep anyway. But before we

896
00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:48,480
Speaker 2: touch on that game a little bit, I wanted to

897
00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:54,359
Speaker 2: revisit Bill Steelers. As we know, Dan, Steelers have their

898
00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:59,680
Speaker 2: own share of problems. It's not a great defensive front statistically,

899
00:49:59,680 --> 00:50:03,040
Speaker 2: but I think think it's a respected one and the

900
00:50:03,080 --> 00:50:07,120
Speaker 2: Bills essentially played AFC North football better than the team

901
00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:09,759
Speaker 2: from the AFC North and just bludgeoned them to the

902
00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:12,400
Speaker 2: two and two hundred and forty nine rushing yards, running

903
00:50:12,560 --> 00:50:16,800
Speaker 2: largely two different run plays. For the balance of the game.

904
00:50:18,440 --> 00:50:21,560
Speaker 10: You have to love how physical they were, and the

905
00:50:21,840 --> 00:50:25,520
Speaker 10: reality is that's the most physical offense, at least offensively,

906
00:50:25,560 --> 00:50:28,759
Speaker 10: the most physical game they've had this year. Yes it

907
00:50:28,840 --> 00:50:31,120
Speaker 10: was boring, Yes it was simple, but there's a beauty

908
00:50:31,120 --> 00:50:34,080
Speaker 10: in that. And you know, for everyone that at times

909
00:50:34,080 --> 00:50:37,200
Speaker 10: has been frustrated with Joe Brader this year, you got

910
00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:38,799
Speaker 10: to give him credit for not trying to get too

911
00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:41,000
Speaker 10: cute here, which he has at moments this year, and

912
00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:43,040
Speaker 10: just said, hey, we're just going to be better than you.

913
00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:45,880
Speaker 10: And the way that they protected the tackles obviously was

914
00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:49,400
Speaker 10: a big deal. But yeah, the physicality was awesome to

915
00:50:49,440 --> 00:50:51,759
Speaker 10: watch and James the focal point of the game, and

916
00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:55,080
Speaker 10: then Josh some of the designed runs was outstanding. So

917
00:50:55,719 --> 00:50:58,080
Speaker 10: give them credit for that. Is that the path is

918
00:50:58,120 --> 00:51:00,279
Speaker 10: that the likelihood is that the best way for them

919
00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:03,080
Speaker 10: to play. I don't think you're going to play fronts

920
00:51:03,080 --> 00:51:05,640
Speaker 10: that stand up the way that Pittsburgh did, you know,

921
00:51:05,719 --> 00:51:09,440
Speaker 10: moving forward, But I do think that that is a

922
00:51:10,719 --> 00:51:11,839
Speaker 10: beacon point.

923
00:51:12,360 --> 00:51:13,839
Speaker 3: For that offense to have.

924
00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:16,840
Speaker 10: I don't want to sit here and say like the

925
00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:20,719
Speaker 10: line of demarcation, but I do remember in regards to

926
00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:23,320
Speaker 10: Philadelphia last year, and I was thinking about this yesterday

927
00:51:23,360 --> 00:51:26,480
Speaker 10: when we were talking about Buffalo, where their offensive line

928
00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:28,800
Speaker 10: just went to Kellen Moore at one point and said,

929
00:51:29,560 --> 00:51:32,640
Speaker 10: the other teams can't stop us running the football. Stop

930
00:51:32,719 --> 00:51:35,640
Speaker 10: over complicating this and just run the ball more on

931
00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:40,040
Speaker 10: early downs. And obviously it was historic, and I do

932
00:51:40,080 --> 00:51:43,560
Speaker 10: think that there's something to be said for the willingness

933
00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:47,480
Speaker 10: to just commit to running the football in the way

934
00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:49,720
Speaker 10: that they did at the defense.

935
00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:51,719
Speaker 3: And not around the defense that I don't know.

936
00:51:51,840 --> 00:51:53,279
Speaker 10: Again, I don't think they're gonna have a lot of

937
00:51:53,320 --> 00:51:55,319
Speaker 10: games like that, but I do think there's something to

938
00:51:55,320 --> 00:51:56,040
Speaker 10: be said about it.

939
00:51:56,120 --> 00:51:58,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think we've been talking about this all week too.

940
00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:02,200
Speaker 1: I think this game said actually more about the Pittsburgh

941
00:52:02,239 --> 00:52:04,680
Speaker 1: Steelers and where they're at than it did the Buffalo Bills,

942
00:52:04,680 --> 00:52:08,319
Speaker 1: because you get into a game like that and they

943
00:52:08,440 --> 00:52:12,400
Speaker 1: repeat the run game over and over you don't have

944
00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:15,480
Speaker 1: an answer. And I don't know if you watched the

945
00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:18,120
Speaker 1: game closely or not, but during the game there was

946
00:52:18,160 --> 00:52:22,879
Speaker 1: an altercation between Cam Hayward and Josh Allen where Cam said, hey,

947
00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:24,640
Speaker 1: Josh need him in the stomach. You did it after

948
00:52:24,680 --> 00:52:27,520
Speaker 1: the game, which did not show up on the film,

949
00:52:28,760 --> 00:52:31,600
Speaker 1: And I thought what Cam Hayward was doing was trying

950
00:52:31,600 --> 00:52:34,359
Speaker 1: to light a fire under his defense. He knew that

951
00:52:34,400 --> 00:52:37,279
Speaker 1: if he could get his guys to believe that the

952
00:52:37,360 --> 00:52:40,360
Speaker 1: quarterback cheap shot at him, it would light a fire

953
00:52:40,440 --> 00:52:44,880
Speaker 1: that wasn't there. Obviously it didn't work, but to me,

954
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:47,279
Speaker 1: that's what that spoke of. And there's guys on that

955
00:52:47,360 --> 00:52:49,960
Speaker 1: defense been Cam Hayward's been around a minute, tj Wat's

956
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:52,520
Speaker 1: been around a minute. They're looking around, going, man, this

957
00:52:52,600 --> 00:52:53,920
Speaker 1: is just not working.

958
00:52:55,280 --> 00:52:57,960
Speaker 10: Yeah, and Steve, I would agree with you that we

959
00:52:58,120 --> 00:53:03,000
Speaker 10: learned more about Pittsburgh, say from their defensive perspective. I

960
00:53:03,080 --> 00:53:05,160
Speaker 10: remember talking to you guys last week talking about how

961
00:53:05,160 --> 00:53:07,920
Speaker 10: poor their defense was in the run game, and so

962
00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:13,239
Speaker 10: that wasn't necessarily new information shocking in the way that

963
00:53:13,280 --> 00:53:17,000
Speaker 10: it carried itself out. But I will say on the

964
00:53:17,040 --> 00:53:20,000
Speaker 10: flip side, I do think we gathered a little bit

965
00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:22,840
Speaker 10: more about who Buffalo could be on defense. You know,

966
00:53:23,360 --> 00:53:25,440
Speaker 10: I do want to credit this was a pretty good

967
00:53:25,480 --> 00:53:28,319
Speaker 10: Pittsburgh run game and the way that they have gone

968
00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:30,520
Speaker 10: about running the football this year with their tight ends

969
00:53:30,520 --> 00:53:33,800
Speaker 10: and their six defensive linemen, And for the most part,

970
00:53:33,920 --> 00:53:38,160
Speaker 10: Buffalo's defense held up outstanding. They were much better at

971
00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:41,000
Speaker 10: the point of contact. I thought the linebackers and base

972
00:53:41,080 --> 00:53:43,040
Speaker 10: defense when they had all three of them out there

973
00:53:43,120 --> 00:53:47,520
Speaker 10: were absolutely fantastic, and they weren't stressed that much in coverage.

974
00:53:48,040 --> 00:53:53,279
Speaker 10: But I do sit there and say, Buffalo defensively, I'm

975
00:53:53,280 --> 00:53:56,760
Speaker 10: not telling everybody that the Pittsburgh Steelers are the Eagles

976
00:53:56,760 --> 00:53:59,160
Speaker 10: of last year. But that's a good running football team

977
00:53:59,560 --> 00:54:02,960
Speaker 10: and they basically gave them nothing, and so why can't

978
00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:07,759
Speaker 10: they be that more consistently in the run game. I

979
00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:09,880
Speaker 10: do think that's a moment where you could sit there

980
00:54:09,920 --> 00:54:12,600
Speaker 10: and say you're capable of it. So do that on

981
00:54:12,640 --> 00:54:15,240
Speaker 10: a week by week basis and the defense will improve

982
00:54:15,560 --> 00:54:17,040
Speaker 10: when it comes to their run defense.

983
00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:17,440
Speaker 1: Yeah.

984
00:54:17,560 --> 00:54:21,600
Speaker 2: Coach McDermot, who addressed the media yesterday, I actually asked him,

985
00:54:21,840 --> 00:54:27,680
Speaker 2: would you call that your best gap integrity, slash tackling

986
00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:30,279
Speaker 2: game of the season, and he agreed with me. He

987
00:54:30,320 --> 00:54:35,040
Speaker 2: said it was And I asked him why that happened

988
00:54:35,320 --> 00:54:39,720
Speaker 2: this week in this game, and he said, we rep things,

989
00:54:40,680 --> 00:54:43,839
Speaker 2: not until we could get it right, but until we

990
00:54:43,880 --> 00:54:47,719
Speaker 2: couldn't get it wrong. I thought that was an interesting

991
00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:52,520
Speaker 2: statement from him yesterday, and it's like, Okay, if it

992
00:54:52,560 --> 00:54:56,560
Speaker 2: takes eight hundred reps, find a way to walk it through,

993
00:54:56,840 --> 00:54:59,920
Speaker 2: whatever you gotta do, rep it until they can't get it.

994
00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:02,719
Speaker 2: But I think a lot of fans have noticed also, Dan,

995
00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:05,160
Speaker 2: that you know Shaq Thompson is the guy with the

996
00:55:05,200 --> 00:55:07,960
Speaker 2: green dot. Last week, he's the leading tackler at the

997
00:55:08,040 --> 00:55:10,560
Speaker 2: end of the game. Coach McDermot, who's got a long

998
00:55:10,600 --> 00:55:12,839
Speaker 2: history with him that dates all the way back to Carolina,

999
00:55:13,480 --> 00:55:15,480
Speaker 2: also said Shaq gets up in front of the team,

1000
00:55:15,640 --> 00:55:18,240
Speaker 2: in front of the defense late in the week and says,

1001
00:55:18,840 --> 00:55:21,240
Speaker 2: we got to help our offense out this week. They're shorthanded,

1002
00:55:21,280 --> 00:55:23,839
Speaker 2: they're gonna be down four starters. We got to put

1003
00:55:23,880 --> 00:55:26,480
Speaker 2: our best game on tape this week. And I think

1004
00:55:26,520 --> 00:55:31,240
Speaker 2: from those two areas of playing sound fundamental defense, they were.

1005
00:55:32,680 --> 00:55:34,560
Speaker 10: I totally agree Shaq was the best player in the

1006
00:55:34,600 --> 00:55:38,560
Speaker 10: defense when it comes to I remember years ago that

1007
00:55:38,719 --> 00:55:40,799
Speaker 10: was the calling card of this defense when it came

1008
00:55:40,840 --> 00:55:42,960
Speaker 10: to their run defense, was how good they were with

1009
00:55:43,040 --> 00:55:45,680
Speaker 10: their gap integrity, and that has not been the case

1010
00:55:46,280 --> 00:55:49,399
Speaker 10: on a consistent basis this year. I thought Joey had

1011
00:55:49,400 --> 00:55:51,640
Speaker 10: his best game when it comes to ability to defending

1012
00:55:51,719 --> 00:55:55,759
Speaker 10: the run, setting the edge, closing the edge. You know,

1013
00:55:56,200 --> 00:55:58,040
Speaker 10: we often say in football like set the edge. Well,

1014
00:55:58,120 --> 00:56:00,520
Speaker 10: if the edge is set, but it's four yards, that's

1015
00:56:00,560 --> 00:56:01,440
Speaker 10: not really defending the.

1016
00:56:01,520 --> 00:56:04,000
Speaker 3: Run very well. So I thought Joey was great.

1017
00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:06,200
Speaker 10: I do think there's something for Shaq when it comes

1018
00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:09,840
Speaker 10: to he's he's bigger, you know there, He's got a

1019
00:56:09,880 --> 00:56:11,960
Speaker 10: little bit more thickness to him, a little bit more

1020
00:56:12,040 --> 00:56:13,960
Speaker 10: weight to him at that linebacker spot.

1021
00:56:13,960 --> 00:56:14,319
Speaker 9: And so.

1022
00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:19,040
Speaker 10: That's a good sign for that defense to go up

1023
00:56:19,040 --> 00:56:23,520
Speaker 10: against a good run team on the road and play

1024
00:56:23,560 --> 00:56:26,759
Speaker 10: as well as they did, and you know, they're playing

1025
00:56:26,800 --> 00:56:28,960
Speaker 10: against the team I know we talk about Cincinnati this

1026
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:31,359
Speaker 10: coming week, and it's Joe and it's Jamar and it's

1027
00:56:31,400 --> 00:56:34,520
Speaker 10: t One of the real things that has changed about

1028
00:56:34,520 --> 00:56:37,640
Speaker 10: their offense this year is their willingness and ability to

1029
00:56:37,719 --> 00:56:40,719
Speaker 10: run the ball. And it's not all that different than Buffalo.

1030
00:56:41,080 --> 00:56:44,680
Speaker 10: It's not overly schematically complicated. They're gonna get into their

1031
00:56:44,719 --> 00:56:47,080
Speaker 10: double tight ends and they're gonna run duo at a

1032
00:56:47,120 --> 00:56:49,520
Speaker 10: defense and say, here, we're trying to get four or

1033
00:56:49,520 --> 00:56:51,200
Speaker 10: five because if we do, we'll be fine in the

1034
00:56:51,200 --> 00:56:53,400
Speaker 10: past game. And so can they do it for a

1035
00:56:53,440 --> 00:56:56,359
Speaker 10: second week against State what's become a solid run team?

1036
00:56:56,360 --> 00:56:57,280
Speaker 3: I think will be interesting.

1037
00:56:57,640 --> 00:57:01,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they really, in a back handed way, Joe

1038
00:57:01,960 --> 00:57:04,839
Speaker 1: being out forced them to lean on their run game

1039
00:57:04,880 --> 00:57:06,279
Speaker 1: a little more and they found out, well, we're not

1040
00:57:06,320 --> 00:57:08,880
Speaker 1: that bad at it, so when Joe comes back, they

1041
00:57:08,880 --> 00:57:10,840
Speaker 1: don't have to abandon it and they can lean on

1042
00:57:10,880 --> 00:57:12,439
Speaker 1: it a little more. Is that fair to say?

1043
00:57:13,560 --> 00:57:14,560
Speaker 3: Yeah? Absolutely.

1044
00:57:14,840 --> 00:57:17,040
Speaker 10: It's also the receivers being out a little bit was

1045
00:57:17,040 --> 00:57:19,680
Speaker 10: more demanded that they got to protect better. And so

1046
00:57:19,760 --> 00:57:23,280
Speaker 10: I think allowing them to lean on a defense giving

1047
00:57:23,320 --> 00:57:25,840
Speaker 10: your offense, the offensive line, the opportunity to just fire

1048
00:57:25,840 --> 00:57:28,320
Speaker 10: off the football. I think also learning the type of

1049
00:57:28,400 --> 00:57:33,040
Speaker 10: back Chase Brown is. Chase is not necessarily a sideline

1050
00:57:33,040 --> 00:57:36,280
Speaker 10: to sideline back. He's way better at just keeping his

1051
00:57:36,360 --> 00:57:40,200
Speaker 10: shoulders square to the line of scrimmage. He's he bursts

1052
00:57:40,280 --> 00:57:44,720
Speaker 10: through holes. And I've said it, this isn't a run game.

1053
00:57:44,760 --> 00:57:47,520
Speaker 10: There's run games that are trying to build explosives. Detroit's

1054
00:57:47,520 --> 00:57:50,600
Speaker 10: trying to build explosives in their run game. Cincinnati just

1055
00:57:50,600 --> 00:57:53,360
Speaker 10: wants efficiency. Cincinnati's thought is if we call Ron on

1056
00:57:53,440 --> 00:57:54,960
Speaker 10: first down and we got to second and six, you

1057
00:57:54,960 --> 00:57:57,800
Speaker 10: can't stop us two passes in a row. And so

1058
00:57:58,920 --> 00:58:01,120
Speaker 10: and their willingness to play with more tight ends on

1059
00:58:01,160 --> 00:58:04,320
Speaker 10: the field, They've gone through up and down with receivers

1060
00:58:04,320 --> 00:58:06,520
Speaker 10: in health, and so I do think.

1061
00:58:06,280 --> 00:58:08,600
Speaker 3: By a by a default on.

1062
00:58:08,720 --> 00:58:11,360
Speaker 10: Most or a necessity, some of the variants that we're

1063
00:58:11,360 --> 00:58:14,640
Speaker 10: seeing from this football team has just been a product,

1064
00:58:14,640 --> 00:58:21,480
Speaker 10: a byproduct of them kind of improving schematically and varying schematically.

1065
00:58:22,040 --> 00:58:25,960
Speaker 2: Defensively though, Dan as we know, they've they've switched some

1066
00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:28,600
Speaker 2: people in and out. Logan Wilson's no longer there. They've

1067
00:58:28,640 --> 00:58:32,480
Speaker 2: got Barrett Carter in the lineup now good who cover,

1068
00:58:32,560 --> 00:58:35,000
Speaker 2: who clearly covers more ground than Wilson did. And that

1069
00:58:35,160 --> 00:58:38,440
Speaker 2: was what precipitated the change, probably more than anything else.

1070
00:58:39,680 --> 00:58:43,960
Speaker 2: But where can they get got, so to speak, by

1071
00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:45,360
Speaker 2: the Bills, do you think?

1072
00:58:46,320 --> 00:58:49,440
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, Barrett Carter played actually very well recently the

1073
00:58:49,480 --> 00:58:53,800
Speaker 3: other other night against Baltimore. He was absolutely fantastic, And

1074
00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:54,800
Speaker 3: I would tell you, like.

1075
00:58:54,920 --> 00:58:57,040
Speaker 10: The starting point for that is you got to you

1076
00:58:57,120 --> 00:58:58,680
Speaker 10: got to get him. You got to get to the

1077
00:58:58,680 --> 00:59:02,560
Speaker 10: second level to get Bert Carter blocked. He's really athletic,

1078
00:59:02,960 --> 00:59:06,080
Speaker 10: he avoids blocks. He's a young he's got a little

1079
00:59:06,120 --> 00:59:10,280
Speaker 10: bit of young Milano, and they're much They're much stronger

1080
00:59:11,840 --> 00:59:14,640
Speaker 10: in run defense. And Carter as a pressure guy as well.

1081
00:59:15,520 --> 00:59:19,520
Speaker 10: I would tell you this, the corners turner's playing at

1082
00:59:19,520 --> 00:59:22,400
Speaker 10: a high level. I don't necessarily love testing him. He's

1083
00:59:22,400 --> 00:59:26,120
Speaker 10: got really good ball skills. You can force his defense.

1084
00:59:26,160 --> 00:59:30,280
Speaker 10: They want to play man coverage, you gotta get running sideline.

1085
00:59:30,280 --> 00:59:30,760
Speaker 3: The sideline.

1086
00:59:30,760 --> 00:59:32,320
Speaker 10: If you're going to play one on one football on

1087
00:59:32,360 --> 00:59:35,080
Speaker 10: the perimeter against them, that's not gonna bode well. You

1088
00:59:35,160 --> 00:59:38,000
Speaker 10: gotta get horizontal against them in your past game. I

1089
00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:42,360
Speaker 10: think the second thing is when you guys know, defenses

1090
00:59:42,440 --> 00:59:45,120
Speaker 10: sometimes like to line up in these double a gap

1091
00:59:45,160 --> 00:59:47,520
Speaker 10: pressures where they'll take their linebackers and put them up

1092
00:59:47,560 --> 00:59:50,160
Speaker 10: on either shoulder of the center, and then it's who's

1093
00:59:50,200 --> 00:59:52,720
Speaker 10: the pressure guy who's not. What they do is they

1094
00:59:52,760 --> 00:59:54,640
Speaker 10: take both of them and put them over the guard,

1095
00:59:55,080 --> 00:59:58,520
Speaker 10: and they overload one front, one side, and they single

1096
00:59:58,560 --> 01:00:02,200
Speaker 10: up a defensive end, and so it stresses you where

1097
01:00:02,240 --> 01:00:03,920
Speaker 10: are you taking the center? Is he going left or

1098
01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:05,680
Speaker 10: is it going right? And then they're just trying to

1099
01:00:05,680 --> 01:00:07,480
Speaker 10: create those one on ones and they're good at them.

1100
01:00:07,680 --> 01:00:11,040
Speaker 10: Their backers are good in pressure. They win against lineman,

1101
01:00:11,080 --> 01:00:14,720
Speaker 10: they win against fec. So making sure that you don't

1102
01:00:14,760 --> 01:00:17,080
Speaker 10: get into those situations. But if and when you do,

1103
01:00:17,280 --> 01:00:19,560
Speaker 10: your communication has got to be very good against it.

1104
01:00:19,600 --> 01:00:21,960
Speaker 10: But I would tell you this is a game that

1105
01:00:22,320 --> 01:00:25,680
Speaker 10: it is won a bunch and stack game. You have

1106
01:00:25,800 --> 01:00:29,280
Speaker 10: to get into that to run away from this defense. Two,

1107
01:00:29,320 --> 01:00:32,920
Speaker 10: when they play their zones, they're not very physical and

1108
01:00:32,960 --> 01:00:36,560
Speaker 10: they are overly deep in their drops. Ball has to

1109
01:00:36,560 --> 01:00:39,400
Speaker 10: get underneath right now. This has to be an underneath

1110
01:00:39,440 --> 01:00:42,760
Speaker 10: game right now. Shakir a yards after the catch, Cook

1111
01:00:42,840 --> 01:00:45,360
Speaker 10: a yards after the catch, Johnson a yards after the catch.

1112
01:00:45,360 --> 01:00:47,480
Speaker 3: I don't think it's a throw it down the field game.

1113
01:00:47,840 --> 01:00:50,720
Speaker 10: I think it's a high completion yards after the catch

1114
01:00:50,800 --> 01:00:53,200
Speaker 10: game in their pass game and then in their run game.

1115
01:00:53,800 --> 01:00:55,960
Speaker 10: I'll reiterate it. You don't have to get over the car.

1116
01:00:56,040 --> 01:00:58,439
Speaker 10: You got to get to Carter. Carter's a very very

1117
01:00:58,560 --> 01:01:00,320
Speaker 10: up and coming linebacker.

1118
01:01:00,440 --> 01:01:03,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that seems to be an okay, a pretty

1119
01:01:03,120 --> 01:01:06,040
Speaker 1: good matchup for the Bills. They're very good when Josh

1120
01:01:06,120 --> 01:01:08,320
Speaker 1: is on, he just dinks it, throws it to the

1121
01:01:08,400 --> 01:01:11,360
Speaker 1: underneath stuff. They haven't really forced the ball down the

1122
01:01:11,360 --> 01:01:14,840
Speaker 1: field at all season, so it seems as though and

1123
01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:16,880
Speaker 1: it kind of even the stats back it up. I mean,

1124
01:01:16,880 --> 01:01:19,080
Speaker 1: this is a Cincinnati defense has given up more points

1125
01:01:19,120 --> 01:01:22,120
Speaker 1: to anybody in the league. So you feel like you're

1126
01:01:22,160 --> 01:01:26,880
Speaker 1: gonna be able to keep up like that. What do

1127
01:01:26,920 --> 01:01:29,960
Speaker 1: you expect out of this Bill's offense? I mean, what

1128
01:01:30,000 --> 01:01:34,840
Speaker 1: would you do? Yeah, I mean, do you try this

1129
01:01:34,960 --> 01:01:36,280
Speaker 1: time of possession him to death?

1130
01:01:37,360 --> 01:01:40,760
Speaker 3: Yeah? I mean, obviously their offense. You have to respect it.

1131
01:01:40,800 --> 01:01:44,160
Speaker 10: And so the time of possession game always gets dangerous

1132
01:01:44,160 --> 01:01:47,480
Speaker 10: for me because if you're gonna commit the time of possession,

1133
01:01:47,520 --> 01:01:49,160
Speaker 10: you have to commit to going forward and fourth down

1134
01:01:49,160 --> 01:01:51,280
Speaker 10: in the red zone because time to possession three points

1135
01:01:51,280 --> 01:01:51,960
Speaker 10: aren't good enough.

1136
01:01:52,040 --> 01:01:52,200
Speaker 1: Right.

1137
01:01:52,280 --> 01:01:56,000
Speaker 10: So yeah, if that's the philosophy, if you go back

1138
01:01:56,000 --> 01:01:59,000
Speaker 10: and just watch this defense, like even Baltimore last week,

1139
01:02:01,400 --> 01:02:06,600
Speaker 10: three of their turnovers are literally carelessness with the ball hairlessness.

1140
01:02:07,200 --> 01:02:09,800
Speaker 10: Buffalo got away with it last week. Two of them

1141
01:02:09,800 --> 01:02:14,240
Speaker 10: are early, so one there's got to be this. You

1142
01:02:14,280 --> 01:02:16,240
Speaker 10: give the ball away against this defense, you can't beat

1143
01:02:16,280 --> 01:02:18,600
Speaker 10: them because their offense will scored too much, right, so

1144
01:02:18,640 --> 01:02:19,320
Speaker 10: you can't.

1145
01:02:19,360 --> 01:02:20,240
Speaker 3: They gotta go.

1146
01:02:20,640 --> 01:02:23,600
Speaker 10: They got to pitch a gooseg in that there's guys

1147
01:02:23,720 --> 01:02:26,000
Speaker 10: open against his defense.

1148
01:02:26,160 --> 01:02:29,680
Speaker 3: Every week there's guys open. Now more often than not,

1149
01:02:29,880 --> 01:02:30,440
Speaker 3: they've hit him.

1150
01:02:30,480 --> 01:02:33,080
Speaker 10: Lamar missed five wide open throws last week, and I

1151
01:02:33,120 --> 01:02:36,440
Speaker 10: love Lamar wide open, and so well, you're encouraged with

1152
01:02:36,520 --> 01:02:39,200
Speaker 10: the way that the defense played last week. If Lamar

1153
01:02:39,240 --> 01:02:41,960
Speaker 10: hits five throwers at an x MVP multiple time, guys

1154
01:02:42,160 --> 01:02:45,240
Speaker 10: should and Josh absolutely should outbreakers.

1155
01:02:45,520 --> 01:02:49,200
Speaker 3: Just throw outbreakers versus this defense. Throw outbreakers versus this defense,

1156
01:02:49,200 --> 01:02:51,680
Speaker 3: and you don't give the ball away. They're not talented

1157
01:02:51,800 --> 01:02:53,120
Speaker 3: enough to stop a good offense.

1158
01:02:54,240 --> 01:02:56,800
Speaker 2: So I know, we talked to you last week about

1159
01:02:56,840 --> 01:03:01,920
Speaker 2: these huge, you know, inexplicable voids in the Pittsburgh defense.

1160
01:03:02,520 --> 01:03:05,800
Speaker 2: Are there voids like that if and when Cincinnati does

1161
01:03:05,880 --> 01:03:09,240
Speaker 2: have zone calls? Maybe not to the same degree, but

1162
01:03:10,320 --> 01:03:11,600
Speaker 2: are there opportunities there?

1163
01:03:12,560 --> 01:03:15,560
Speaker 10: Yeah, if the if it happens in the past game, Chris,

1164
01:03:15,560 --> 01:03:16,600
Speaker 10: if it happens fast.

1165
01:03:17,400 --> 01:03:19,080
Speaker 3: But but it can't be a hold it game.

1166
01:03:19,280 --> 01:03:23,360
Speaker 11: Yeah, because the Al Golden, who's their defensive coordinators, is

1167
01:03:23,880 --> 01:03:29,720
Speaker 11: really good at one in their zone, like the challenging

1168
01:03:29,760 --> 01:03:34,560
Speaker 11: you to be patient with the football and make them

1169
01:03:34,640 --> 01:03:35,479
Speaker 11: rallying to the ball.

1170
01:03:35,520 --> 01:03:37,280
Speaker 10: When they run to the football, you'll see they're not

1171
01:03:37,360 --> 01:03:39,080
Speaker 10: running the football to get you on the ground. They're

1172
01:03:39,120 --> 01:03:41,720
Speaker 10: running the football to punch the ball out there. Their

1173
01:03:41,720 --> 01:03:43,800
Speaker 10: philosophies get the ball back to the offense right like

1174
01:03:43,880 --> 01:03:44,280
Speaker 10: many are.

1175
01:03:44,320 --> 01:03:46,280
Speaker 3: But their offense is one of the best in the NFL,

1176
01:03:46,360 --> 01:03:47,720
Speaker 3: so there's I.

1177
01:03:47,680 --> 01:03:49,760
Speaker 10: Don't see the voids in this defense in the run

1178
01:03:49,800 --> 01:03:52,960
Speaker 10: game as much as it was against Pittsburgh, but they're

1179
01:03:53,000 --> 01:03:55,960
Speaker 10: not very stout. I think that what they're trying to

1180
01:03:55,960 --> 01:03:58,400
Speaker 10: do in their run defense is free up Barrett Carter

1181
01:03:58,480 --> 01:04:01,240
Speaker 10: as much as possible with his speed and athleticism. Sideline

1182
01:04:01,240 --> 01:04:06,000
Speaker 10: is sunline and vertically, but there's hay to be made.

1183
01:04:06,120 --> 01:04:07,680
Speaker 3: Outbreaking routes are a big deal.

1184
01:04:08,320 --> 01:04:10,440
Speaker 10: I think the more that you can throw corner routes

1185
01:04:10,800 --> 01:04:13,080
Speaker 10: outs running away from people is going.

1186
01:04:13,080 --> 01:04:13,720
Speaker 3: To be a big deal.

1187
01:04:13,800 --> 01:04:17,720
Speaker 10: And then when you get into that zone defense coverage wise,

1188
01:04:17,760 --> 01:04:19,560
Speaker 10: get the ball to your hands in yards after the catch.

1189
01:04:19,840 --> 01:04:22,680
Speaker 3: But they should be successful running the football as well.

1190
01:04:22,720 --> 01:04:25,240
Speaker 10: But they have to this is the double team offense, right,

1191
01:04:25,720 --> 01:04:28,120
Speaker 10: double team has to get up. If the double team

1192
01:04:28,160 --> 01:04:31,080
Speaker 10: hangs too long, he'll backdoor it, he'll scrape over the top,

1193
01:04:31,080 --> 01:04:32,960
Speaker 10: and then all of a sudden, that eight yard run

1194
01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:33,520
Speaker 10: goes for two.

1195
01:04:34,240 --> 01:04:35,640
Speaker 1: So last night you got a chance to see the

1196
01:04:35,640 --> 01:04:38,720
Speaker 1: New England Patriots won ten in a row, playing well,

1197
01:04:38,760 --> 01:04:41,360
Speaker 1: and the Bills feel like that game got away from

1198
01:04:41,400 --> 01:04:43,200
Speaker 1: them when they were here in Buffalo. The Bills turned

1199
01:04:43,240 --> 01:04:45,240
Speaker 1: it over three times and I feel like, but you know,

1200
01:04:45,280 --> 01:04:47,040
Speaker 1: they feel like they were the better team and lost

1201
01:04:47,080 --> 01:04:49,000
Speaker 1: the game rather than having the Patriots come in and

1202
01:04:49,040 --> 01:04:52,320
Speaker 1: beat them. But now after a month and a half

1203
01:04:52,400 --> 01:04:55,400
Speaker 1: of in that game, in the rearview mirror, the Patriots

1204
01:04:55,400 --> 01:04:57,120
Speaker 1: are a little bit of a different team, just like

1205
01:04:57,160 --> 01:04:59,720
Speaker 1: the Bills are a little bit of a different team.

1206
01:05:00,120 --> 01:05:02,480
Speaker 1: The Patriots going into their bye week this week. How

1207
01:05:02,480 --> 01:05:06,600
Speaker 1: impressed were you yesterday with them? Certainly they've got a

1208
01:05:06,600 --> 01:05:09,080
Speaker 1: fourth place schedule and everybody's kind of knocking them because

1209
01:05:09,080 --> 01:05:13,000
Speaker 1: they haven't played any great teams. What are your thoughts

1210
01:05:13,000 --> 01:05:15,720
Speaker 1: on the Patriots and the playoff picture overall in the AFC.

1211
01:05:15,840 --> 01:05:19,000
Speaker 1: I mean, it's you've got seven teams with at least

1212
01:05:19,040 --> 01:05:24,439
Speaker 1: eight wins. Welleven six teams with at least eight wins,

1213
01:05:24,440 --> 01:05:26,520
Speaker 1: and then the Division of the North with six and

1214
01:05:26,600 --> 01:05:28,200
Speaker 1: six Baltimore at the top of it. What are your

1215
01:05:28,200 --> 01:05:29,439
Speaker 1: thoughts about the playoff race?

1216
01:05:30,520 --> 01:05:32,720
Speaker 10: Yeah, one, New England's got the MVP of the NFL

1217
01:05:32,840 --> 01:05:36,240
Speaker 10: right now, Steve so and the way that he's played.

1218
01:05:36,480 --> 01:05:39,640
Speaker 10: I was so impressed with their maturity last night. Good

1219
01:05:39,680 --> 01:05:41,760
Speaker 10: team playing a bad team. Don't allow the bad team

1220
01:05:41,800 --> 01:05:43,560
Speaker 10: to think that they belong in the same field. Just

1221
01:05:43,600 --> 01:05:46,640
Speaker 10: absolutely boat race them. I love their past game. The

1222
01:05:46,680 --> 01:05:50,560
Speaker 10: young man playing quarterback is absolutely exceptional. The role players

1223
01:05:50,560 --> 01:05:53,120
Speaker 10: on offense, he gets through progressions. My favorite thing about

1224
01:05:53,160 --> 01:05:56,440
Speaker 10: their offense. Every play starts with protection. Every play, how

1225
01:05:56,440 --> 01:05:59,040
Speaker 10: do we protect it? Can't let's protect it. Let's protect it.

1226
01:05:59,120 --> 01:06:01,560
Speaker 10: Let's protect it. Ends are a huge part of the

1227
01:06:01,560 --> 01:06:04,400
Speaker 10: past game. I love Henderson, so it's a really good

1228
01:06:04,400 --> 01:06:06,520
Speaker 10: football team. And then the defense. I think you got

1229
01:06:06,520 --> 01:06:08,320
Speaker 10: to dare them to run the ball. You gotta dare

1230
01:06:08,400 --> 01:06:11,120
Speaker 10: them to run the ball the fourth quarters. Okay, like schematically,

1231
01:06:11,160 --> 01:06:13,160
Speaker 10: you have to just we're not going to let you

1232
01:06:13,240 --> 01:06:15,720
Speaker 10: throw the ball specifically down the field, and you got

1233
01:06:15,760 --> 01:06:18,320
Speaker 10: to vary your information. I think from a defensive perspective,

1234
01:06:18,360 --> 01:06:20,800
Speaker 10: it's a good unit. They got two really good man

1235
01:06:20,840 --> 01:06:23,840
Speaker 10: covering corners. They're good against the run. I would get

1236
01:06:23,880 --> 01:06:26,360
Speaker 10: big bodies on the field and pound the football against them.

1237
01:06:26,360 --> 01:06:29,280
Speaker 3: They want to live with nickel. You guys know that world.

1238
01:06:30,320 --> 01:06:32,160
Speaker 10: I just wouldn't allow them to do that, and if

1239
01:06:32,200 --> 01:06:34,160
Speaker 10: they if I do, that's my fault.

1240
01:06:34,240 --> 01:06:36,960
Speaker 3: That That's what my belief is from a football perspective

1241
01:06:37,000 --> 01:06:37,240
Speaker 3: on that.

1242
01:06:38,600 --> 01:06:44,760
Speaker 10: My AFC playoff picture wide open. Teams are all over

1243
01:06:44,800 --> 01:06:48,240
Speaker 10: the place. There's an offensive line that I you know, like,

1244
01:06:48,280 --> 01:06:50,920
Speaker 10: who's offensive line do I trust the most and believe

1245
01:06:50,960 --> 01:06:51,480
Speaker 10: in the most.

1246
01:06:51,520 --> 01:06:52,760
Speaker 3: It's probably Indies.

1247
01:06:53,080 --> 01:06:55,280
Speaker 10: Houston's the one team I don't think anybody wants to

1248
01:06:55,280 --> 01:06:59,080
Speaker 10: play because their defense is Miami is dangerous. Their run

1249
01:06:59,120 --> 01:07:02,120
Speaker 10: game is wild the impressive right now. Kansas City's got

1250
01:07:02,160 --> 01:07:05,320
Speaker 10: like a win or go home game this week against Houston.

1251
01:07:06,000 --> 01:07:10,240
Speaker 10: Denver's out defensively outstanding, but the quarterback's a roller coaster.

1252
01:07:10,760 --> 01:07:13,240
Speaker 3: Jacksonville, they can't.

1253
01:07:13,040 --> 01:07:15,280
Speaker 10: Run the ball real right well right now, but when

1254
01:07:15,320 --> 01:07:17,840
Speaker 10: the quarterback's on, he's awesome. Baltimore Lamar is just not

1255
01:07:18,040 --> 01:07:21,080
Speaker 10: playing well Indie. I'm concerned how well they played late

1256
01:07:21,120 --> 01:07:23,640
Speaker 10: in games. Yeah, I would tell you this, and this

1257
01:07:23,800 --> 01:07:25,920
Speaker 10: is sometimes I hate when people talk like this.

1258
01:07:26,000 --> 01:07:26,960
Speaker 3: I'm gonna be that person.

1259
01:07:27,680 --> 01:07:30,040
Speaker 10: If Patrick doesn't get in and Lamar doesn't get in,

1260
01:07:30,080 --> 01:07:32,800
Speaker 10: and Joe doesn't get in, you guys got the best

1261
01:07:32,840 --> 01:07:34,880
Speaker 10: quarterback in the playoffs.

1262
01:07:35,080 --> 01:07:37,280
Speaker 3: You know, the guy that anybody would want.

1263
01:07:37,440 --> 01:07:40,520
Speaker 10: So I think if Buffalo can get in and those

1264
01:07:40,560 --> 01:07:42,440
Speaker 10: other three guys or two of the three aren't in,

1265
01:07:44,040 --> 01:07:45,560
Speaker 10: you got a chance to bring it at home or

1266
01:07:45,600 --> 01:07:47,200
Speaker 10: be at home. I know it's a long shot, but

1267
01:07:47,800 --> 01:07:50,280
Speaker 10: you know I think Buffalo just because of Josh.

1268
01:07:50,520 --> 01:07:52,080
Speaker 3: You give him life absolutely.

1269
01:07:53,120 --> 01:07:55,640
Speaker 2: Dan, thanks is always appreciate the time. Get some rest.

1270
01:07:55,640 --> 01:07:56,720
Speaker 2: We'll catch up with you next week.

1271
01:07:57,520 --> 01:07:58,640
Speaker 3: Thanks guys, Thanks dance.

1276
01:08:12,320 --> 01:08:15,600

1277
01:08:15,640 --> 01:08:20,320
Speaker 2: defensive performance last week in Pittsburgh this week against Cincinnati

1278
01:08:20,600 --> 01:08:22,559
Speaker 2: eight H three H five poin fifty to jump on board,

1279

01:09:28,640 --> 01:09:32,240
Speaker 2: sure to partake if you're going to the game this weekend.

1298
01:09:32,640 --> 01:09:37,400
Speaker 2: Bills and Bengals uh topic of discussion today. As we

1299
01:09:37,439 --> 01:09:40,559
Speaker 2: have stated, can the Bills defense repeat last week's performance

1300
01:09:40,600 --> 01:09:43,479
Speaker 2: against Cincinnati, and if so, tell us why eight oh

1301
01:09:43,520 --> 01:09:46,720
Speaker 2: three five point fifty one, eight of eight, five fifty two,

1302
01:09:46,800 --> 01:09:49,000
Speaker 2: five fifty those are the numbers to join us. Do

1303
01:09:49,120 --> 01:09:51,479
Speaker 2: have open lines for you right now? Going to crack

1304
01:09:51,560 --> 01:09:54,200
Speaker 2: open the tweetsheet here though tweets sheet brought to you

1305
01:09:54,240 --> 01:09:57,120
Speaker 2: by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment moving company of

1306
01:09:57,120 --> 01:10:01,559
Speaker 2: the Buffalo Bills, and from nowhere by any says, this

1307
01:10:01,600 --> 01:10:04,439
Speaker 2: week is going to be a lot more difficult. The

1308
01:10:04,560 --> 01:10:08,680
Speaker 2: injuries just continue to stack and limit the capability of

1309
01:10:08,800 --> 01:10:13,000
Speaker 2: our defense. And they're probably referencing the Bosa injury.

1310
01:10:15,040 --> 01:10:17,760
Speaker 1: I was, yeah, at the ten thirty mark of the

1311
01:10:17,840 --> 01:10:25,320
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, I believe I saw I saw Bishop come

1312
01:10:25,400 --> 01:10:27,840
Speaker 1: up lame after a tackle he had and I was like,

1313
01:10:27,920 --> 01:10:33,639
Speaker 1: oh no, now he's getting now he's down. But he didn't.

1314
01:10:33,760 --> 01:10:36,599
Speaker 1: He walked it off and uh stayed in the game

1315
01:10:36,640 --> 01:10:38,840
Speaker 1: and finished it. I imagine he there's a chance he

1316
01:10:38,840 --> 01:10:41,120
Speaker 1: may be on the injury report tomorrow for that, just

1317
01:10:41,120 --> 01:10:42,960
Speaker 1: because you know, you finish the game, you're all right,

1318
01:10:43,000 --> 01:10:44,639
Speaker 1: it's in. It's ten minutes to go in the game.

1319
01:10:47,200 --> 01:10:49,000
Speaker 1: But I wouldn't be surprised for Cole Bishops on the

1320
01:10:49,040 --> 01:10:51,840
Speaker 1: injury report tomorrow because of what I saw on the

1321
01:10:51,880 --> 01:10:54,400
Speaker 1: live game broadcast, and I haven't heard anything or seen

1322
01:10:54,439 --> 01:10:58,200
Speaker 1: anything other than that. And he may be fine, but

1323
01:10:58,280 --> 01:11:02,840
Speaker 1: that wouldn't surprise me. So, yeah, the injuries are an issue.

1324
01:11:02,920 --> 01:11:06,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, LFG Buffalo says, I hope I'm wrong, but I

1325
01:11:06,439 --> 01:11:09,320
Speaker 2: don't think they can repeat the reportments this week. Bills

1326
01:11:09,320 --> 01:11:11,640
Speaker 2: have never shown they're able to slow down Burrow and

1327
01:11:11,680 --> 01:11:14,960
Speaker 2: the fact every game is literally a must win for

1328
01:11:15,000 --> 01:11:18,720
Speaker 2: them doesn't give me much confidence. Bills struggle against offenses

1329
01:11:18,760 --> 01:11:24,400
Speaker 2: that get the ball out quick. Yeah. If they tackle

1330
01:11:24,479 --> 01:11:27,880
Speaker 2: well though, like they did last week, get the ball

1331
01:11:27,920 --> 01:11:29,559
Speaker 2: out quick all you want, you only get in three

1332
01:11:29,640 --> 01:11:32,280
Speaker 2: four yards, it's gonna be hard to keep a drive alive.

1333
01:11:34,160 --> 01:11:37,720
Speaker 2: And I'll I'll say, as much as the game is

1334
01:11:37,720 --> 01:11:41,000
Speaker 2: a must win for Cincinnati, it is for Buffalo too.

1335
01:11:42,000 --> 01:11:45,760
Speaker 2: I mean, everybody's in contention right now. I mean there's

1336
01:11:45,800 --> 01:11:49,080
Speaker 2: ten teams that are arguably in contention for a playoff spot.

1337
01:11:49,320 --> 01:11:54,040
Speaker 2: So if you're gonna say it's a must win for Cincinnati,

1338
01:11:54,640 --> 01:11:56,640
Speaker 2: I mean they're not even on the board of our

1339
01:11:56,680 --> 01:12:00,840
Speaker 2: AFC standings right now because they're four and eight. So

1340
01:12:01,439 --> 01:12:04,120
Speaker 2: you know, I talk about must wins. The Bills are

1341
01:12:04,160 --> 01:12:05,559
Speaker 2: tied with three teams right now.

1342
01:12:05,600 --> 01:12:08,840
Speaker 1: I get it, though Joe Burrow has some cachet with

1343
01:12:08,920 --> 01:12:12,720
Speaker 1: Bills fans in the respect factor, right I mean, they

1344
01:12:12,760 --> 01:12:14,160
Speaker 1: just think the guy can really play.

1345
01:12:14,240 --> 01:12:14,519
Speaker 9: They have.

1346
01:12:15,160 --> 01:12:18,679
Speaker 1: They're a tough matchup for the Bills. They have always

1347
01:12:18,680 --> 01:12:21,000
Speaker 1: given the Bills problems and this is one of the

1348
01:12:21,040 --> 01:12:23,639
Speaker 1: few teams that lump the Bills up in a playoff game.

1349
01:12:25,479 --> 01:12:28,160
Speaker 1: Bills have lost playoff games, we all know, but they

1350
01:12:29,000 --> 01:12:33,000
Speaker 1: don't ever really in recent years get beat up. And

1351
01:12:33,040 --> 01:12:36,559
Speaker 1: the Bengals lit them up in a playoff game in

1352
01:12:36,640 --> 01:12:43,519
Speaker 1: high Mark. So I get the fear intrepidation associated with

1353
01:12:43,600 --> 01:12:45,280
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow coming in here. I get it.

1354
01:12:46,360 --> 01:12:49,479
Speaker 2: Seth on the tweets sheet says, I'd say most likely

1355
01:12:49,560 --> 01:12:52,000
Speaker 2: not Burrow is at least ten times the quarterback that

1356
01:12:52,120 --> 01:12:54,760
Speaker 2: Rogers is at this point in his career. D Lion

1357
01:12:54,840 --> 01:12:56,800
Speaker 2: better get ready to throw their hands up and knock

1358
01:12:56,840 --> 01:12:59,400
Speaker 2: some of the quick passes down or they will likely

1359
01:12:59,439 --> 01:13:02,680
Speaker 2: carve us up. Hopefully Bosa can go gonna need to

1360
01:13:02,720 --> 01:13:06,679
Speaker 2: score a lot of points, and you are Dani Orlowski

1361
01:13:06,720 --> 01:13:08,080
Speaker 2: say it in the last segment too. If you want

1362
01:13:08,080 --> 01:13:09,960
Speaker 2: to play that time of possession game and reduce the

1363
01:13:10,040 --> 01:13:14,160
Speaker 2: number of possessions for the Bengals, then you better be

1364
01:13:14,200 --> 01:13:16,160
Speaker 2: going for it on fourth down in the red zone

1365
01:13:16,400 --> 01:13:19,080
Speaker 2: because you got to score touchdowns because you're also reducing

1366
01:13:19,120 --> 01:13:20,360
Speaker 2: your own number of possessions.

1367
01:13:20,400 --> 01:13:24,080
Speaker 1: That's right, that's exactly right. You've got to you got

1368
01:13:24,080 --> 01:13:28,040
Speaker 1: to get points when they're there and going forward on four.

1369
01:13:28,040 --> 01:13:32,200
Speaker 1: And that surprised me because he not because he's right,

1370
01:13:32,360 --> 01:13:34,280
Speaker 1: but I hadn't thought about that. But yeah, that is

1371
01:13:34,280 --> 01:13:37,479
Speaker 1: a kind of a commitment that is tagged onto your

1372
01:13:37,520 --> 01:13:38,720
Speaker 1: commitment to that game plan.

1373
01:13:38,840 --> 01:13:42,240
Speaker 2: Well, especially against the team that has firepower on offense

1374
01:13:42,280 --> 01:13:44,560
Speaker 2: and can score points again on limited.

1375
01:13:44,280 --> 01:13:46,160
Speaker 1: You've got to get touchdowns because that's what puts the

1376
01:13:46,200 --> 01:13:49,880
Speaker 1: pressure on their offense in limited possessions, they've got to

1377
01:13:49,880 --> 01:13:54,120
Speaker 1: do the same. Yeah, that's a that's an added commitment

1378
01:13:54,680 --> 01:13:55,760
Speaker 1: to that kind of game plan.

1379
01:13:56,240 --> 01:13:58,280
Speaker 2: Let's get back to the phones and we'll go to

1380
01:13:58,560 --> 01:13:59,719
Speaker 2: ed in Saratoga Springs.

1381
01:13:59,760 --> 01:14:03,040
Speaker 1: What's okay?

1382
01:14:05,280 --> 01:14:09,000
Speaker 9: As we know, we won the game Sunday against the Steelers,

1383
01:14:09,120 --> 01:14:12,800
Speaker 9: we ran the ball fifty one times average four point

1384
01:14:12,960 --> 01:14:16,800
Speaker 9: nine yards a game. Against the Texans, we ran the

1385
01:14:16,840 --> 01:14:21,840
Speaker 9: ball twenty four times at six yards of game and

1386
01:14:21,920 --> 01:14:25,240
Speaker 9: against the Bucks twenty two times at four point five.

1387
01:14:26,280 --> 01:14:31,760
Speaker 9: It shows if you run the ball and their quarterback

1388
01:14:31,840 --> 01:14:36,639
Speaker 9: is riding the bench, you're gonna win. It worked Thunday

1389
01:14:36,880 --> 01:14:41,760
Speaker 9: against the Steelers. If you look at the Texans in

1390
01:14:41,840 --> 01:14:45,000
Speaker 9: the Bucks game, if they had done the same thing

1391
01:14:45,080 --> 01:14:48,600
Speaker 9: they did the Steelers game, we wouldn't have had that

1392
01:14:48,760 --> 01:14:54,519
Speaker 9: loss in Texas. And poor Josh got felt at eight

1393
01:14:54,600 --> 01:14:59,840
Speaker 9: times or sack eight times to hit twelve times. That's

1394
01:15:00,160 --> 01:15:02,519
Speaker 9: I have to say. I think running the ball is

1395
01:15:02,520 --> 01:15:03,679
Speaker 9: the way to go right now.

1396
01:15:03,920 --> 01:15:06,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's hard to argue based on the results of

1397
01:15:06,320 --> 01:15:10,439
Speaker 2: last week, and knowing that the Bengals are thirty first

1398
01:15:10,439 --> 01:15:12,559
Speaker 2: in the league in run defense and give up one

1399
01:15:12,640 --> 01:15:14,760
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty three yards on the ground per game,

1400
01:15:16,040 --> 01:15:18,000
Speaker 2: you kind of be foolish to not at least test it.

1401
01:15:18,080 --> 01:15:19,920
Speaker 1: Some of it is lean on you get to the

1402
01:15:20,000 --> 01:15:21,760
Speaker 1: and I get it too. You're saying you have a

1403
01:15:21,840 --> 01:15:24,519
Speaker 1: higher the number of runs, the more likely it is

1404
01:15:24,560 --> 01:15:27,960
Speaker 1: that you win. I'm not sure that that correlates the

1405
01:15:27,960 --> 01:15:30,120
Speaker 1: way you think it correlates. You run the ball a lot.

1406
01:15:30,160 --> 01:15:32,120
Speaker 1: When you're running it well, and when you can run

1407
01:15:32,160 --> 01:15:37,200
Speaker 1: the football and score points. You do win, you really do.

1408
01:15:38,160 --> 01:15:39,920
Speaker 1: But a lot of times you're running the ball more

1409
01:15:39,920 --> 01:15:43,360
Speaker 1: because you're being successful. You can make the case that

1410
01:15:43,400 --> 01:15:45,480
Speaker 1: the Bills have gotten away from it too early.

1411
01:15:45,240 --> 01:15:47,760
Speaker 2: In games, or maybe in the Houston game.

1412
01:15:47,880 --> 01:15:51,040
Speaker 1: Maybe in the Houston game, I'll listen to that. But

1413
01:15:52,640 --> 01:15:57,559
Speaker 1: the number of runs that you have is coincides with

1414
01:15:57,600 --> 01:16:02,120
Speaker 1: how successful you are in that game running. You're not

1415
01:16:02,120 --> 01:16:04,599
Speaker 1: gonna run the ball on third and eleven or third

1416
01:16:04,640 --> 01:16:08,000
Speaker 1: and nine or third and ten. You know, and if

1417
01:16:08,000 --> 01:16:10,320
Speaker 1: you've run the ball twice and that's what you're looking

1418
01:16:10,320 --> 01:16:13,280
Speaker 1: at on third down, you're not gonna run it. That's

1419
01:16:13,320 --> 01:16:16,200
Speaker 1: just the way it is. So and you're gonna stop

1420
01:16:16,280 --> 01:16:18,600
Speaker 1: running it on first and second down both. If you

1421
01:16:18,720 --> 01:16:21,320
Speaker 1: end up in third and eight, third and eight plus,

1422
01:16:22,120 --> 01:16:24,519
Speaker 1: you're gonna start throwing it on earlier downs and that's

1423
01:16:24,520 --> 01:16:26,439
Speaker 1: gonna cut down on your run thing. That's just the

1424
01:16:26,439 --> 01:16:29,160
Speaker 1: way it is. I get it. It's easy from this

1425
01:16:29,280 --> 01:16:31,120
Speaker 1: end of the stats to look back and cherry pick

1426
01:16:31,439 --> 01:16:34,000
Speaker 1: stats about you know, what they should have done, could

1427
01:16:34,000 --> 01:16:36,840
Speaker 1: have done, would have done. But when you're in the

1428
01:16:36,880 --> 01:16:39,160
Speaker 1: game and you're handing it off and it's not going

1429
01:16:39,200 --> 01:16:43,880
Speaker 1: well or it's not looking like it's going well. And

1430
01:16:43,920 --> 01:16:45,320
Speaker 1: I get it too. You come out the other end

1431
01:16:45,320 --> 01:16:47,840
Speaker 1: when Cook snaps off a forty five yard and all

1432
01:16:47,840 --> 01:16:50,720
Speaker 1: of a sudden he's averaging six yards of carry. I

1433
01:16:50,800 --> 01:16:55,400
Speaker 1: get it. But you got you gotta blend all that together.

1434
01:16:56,360 --> 01:16:59,920
Speaker 1: I am not in the camp with a lot of

1435
01:17:00,040 --> 01:17:03,439
Speaker 1: Bill's fans that say that they just don't call plays. Well,

1436
01:17:04,360 --> 01:17:07,080
Speaker 1: I'm not in that camp. I've seen there's been instances

1437
01:17:07,080 --> 01:17:09,680
Speaker 1: where I can I can all talk about it, but

1438
01:17:10,640 --> 01:17:13,200
Speaker 1: not as a whole. So I'm they run it when

1439
01:17:13,280 --> 01:17:15,000
Speaker 1: they run it, and they run out a lot when

1440
01:17:15,040 --> 01:17:17,679
Speaker 1: the other team has no answers, and that's good enough

1441
01:17:17,680 --> 01:17:17,920
Speaker 1: for me.

1442
01:17:19,120 --> 01:17:22,280
Speaker 2: Let's go to Steve down in Alabama. What's up, Steve?

1443
01:17:23,400 --> 01:17:25,559
Speaker 7: How you doing guys? You know, I think if we

1444
01:17:25,600 --> 01:17:28,880
Speaker 7: look at the season, let's be honest, we came out

1445
01:17:28,920 --> 01:17:33,599
Speaker 7: with all these expectations high. We're favored in every game,

1446
01:17:34,280 --> 01:17:37,160
Speaker 7: et cetera, et cetera, So we kind of think we're

1447
01:17:37,200 --> 01:17:39,640
Speaker 7: just trying to we're trying to get to the postseason

1448
01:17:40,240 --> 01:17:43,080
Speaker 7: from week one. Then we get to the Baltimore game

1449
01:17:43,479 --> 01:17:46,040
Speaker 7: in it, you know, and honestly, we we're lucky to

1450
01:17:46,080 --> 01:17:48,840
Speaker 7: win that game. And we're going, Okay, we were, but

1451
01:17:49,680 --> 01:17:52,280
Speaker 7: that was perfect because that set us up for the

1452
01:17:52,360 --> 01:17:56,120
Speaker 7: number one seed. Now here we are, we're looking up

1453
01:17:56,120 --> 01:17:59,960
Speaker 7: at the Patriots again. So if we you know, we're

1454
01:18:00,160 --> 01:18:02,479
Speaker 7: you know what, it's the NFL. It is a week

1455
01:18:02,520 --> 01:18:05,479
Speaker 7: to week league. But we are in the last stage

1456
01:18:05,520 --> 01:18:09,920
Speaker 7: of the season and it is it is week to week,

1457
01:18:10,080 --> 01:18:15,280
Speaker 7: and I think our team, everybody has injuries, everybody has excuses.

1458
01:18:15,920 --> 01:18:18,680
Speaker 7: I think we came out this week and we just

1459
01:18:18,720 --> 01:18:22,840
Speaker 7: said we're going to win this week, and that's what

1460
01:18:22,920 --> 01:18:26,280
Speaker 7: we have to do every week going forward. We cannot

1461
01:18:26,280 --> 01:18:29,320
Speaker 7: win a playoff game next week. We have to go

1462
01:18:29,439 --> 01:18:32,320
Speaker 7: out and do our job. And I think this team

1463
01:18:32,400 --> 01:18:35,960
Speaker 7: is getting some grit. I saw that Sunday and I'm

1464
01:18:36,120 --> 01:18:40,600
Speaker 7: actually on the positive side as an ever living for

1465
01:18:40,840 --> 01:18:44,519
Speaker 7: Super Bowl loss optimistic Bills fan. So honestly, what you

1466
01:18:44,600 --> 01:18:45,760
Speaker 7: guys have to say, all.

1467
01:18:45,720 --> 01:18:50,479
Speaker 2: Right, thanks to call Steve. Yeah, this is where the

1468
01:18:50,560 --> 01:18:53,559
Speaker 2: rubber meets the road. It's a We've said it. It's

1469
01:18:53,560 --> 01:18:56,559
Speaker 2: a tight race, and the Bills have to stack wins now.

1470
01:18:56,600 --> 01:18:59,280
Speaker 2: There's no more of this trading wins and losses like

1471
01:18:59,320 --> 01:19:01,800
Speaker 2: they did for the pres four weeks leading up to

1472
01:19:01,800 --> 01:19:04,479
Speaker 2: the Steelers game win loss, win loss, that's just not

1473
01:19:04,520 --> 01:19:09,880
Speaker 2: going to fly. Now you've squandered your cushion that you

1474
01:19:09,920 --> 01:19:12,200
Speaker 2: gave yourself with the four and oh start, that has

1475
01:19:12,200 --> 01:19:16,400
Speaker 2: been squandered and lost. So now you've put yourself in

1476
01:19:16,400 --> 01:19:19,680
Speaker 2: a position where, in all likelihood you got to run

1477
01:19:19,720 --> 01:19:21,960
Speaker 2: the table. Maybe you lose one, and if you do

1478
01:19:22,000 --> 01:19:24,000
Speaker 2: it better be to the NFC team still on your

1479
01:19:24,000 --> 01:19:26,479
Speaker 2: schedule in the Eagles, because you don't want to hurt

1480
01:19:26,520 --> 01:19:29,599
Speaker 2: in your AFC conference record, right your tiebreaker record. Yeah,

1481
01:19:29,640 --> 01:19:35,759
Speaker 2: so's it's now time because you're in December, and look,

1482
01:19:36,000 --> 01:19:39,479
Speaker 2: Bills have been very successful in December under Sean McDermott.

1483
01:19:39,479 --> 01:19:41,479
Speaker 2: I think they're eighteen and three in the month of

1484
01:19:41,479 --> 01:19:45,120
Speaker 2: December since twenty twenty and since twenty twenty three, I

1485
01:19:45,120 --> 01:19:49,760
Speaker 2: think they've lost one game in December. So they know

1486
01:19:49,880 --> 01:19:53,799
Speaker 2: how to close. Let's hope history repeats itself again this December.

1487
01:19:53,840 --> 01:19:56,880
Speaker 1: This is yeah, they should at least their coaching staff

1488
01:19:56,920 --> 01:19:58,920
Speaker 1: knows how to prepare their guys. There's a lot of

1489
01:19:58,960 --> 01:20:01,120
Speaker 1: new guys on this square, you know, and there's a

1490
01:20:01,160 --> 01:20:02,960
Speaker 1: lot of new guys on the squad that are contributing

1491
01:20:02,960 --> 01:20:05,479
Speaker 1: that have no idea what they did last year, even

1492
01:20:05,960 --> 01:20:07,960
Speaker 1: not even last year, but two years ago. For sure.

1493
01:20:09,040 --> 01:20:14,360
Speaker 1: They gotta they gotta know that these games in this

1494
01:20:14,520 --> 01:20:18,000
Speaker 1: last five weeks of the regular season, you got to

1495
01:20:18,040 --> 01:20:20,559
Speaker 1: close it out. You got to show up big time.

1496
01:20:22,720 --> 01:20:25,479
Speaker 1: You've got a number one schedule. You've got that one

1497
01:20:25,479 --> 01:20:28,400
Speaker 1: of the hardest schedules remaining, and have had one of

1498
01:20:28,400 --> 01:20:32,320
Speaker 1: the hardest, most difficult schedules all year. It's laid out

1499
01:20:32,320 --> 01:20:35,880
Speaker 1: because you had home games laid out with Cincinnati, with Philadelphia,

1500
01:20:35,920 --> 01:20:40,160
Speaker 1: with Baltimore, with Kansas City, those four teams that you

1501
01:20:40,160 --> 01:20:42,800
Speaker 1: know had high expectations like you did that you get

1502
01:20:42,840 --> 01:20:46,040
Speaker 1: them all at home. You gotta make hey, uh, this

1503
01:20:46,120 --> 01:20:48,280
Speaker 1: is the Bills are a really difficult team to beat

1504
01:20:49,240 --> 01:20:52,720
Speaker 1: at in this building, and you got to kind of

1505
01:20:52,800 --> 01:20:55,640
Speaker 1: lean on that. But you got it. It's like you

1506
01:20:55,720 --> 01:20:58,360
Speaker 1: got to show up. You've got to show up. There's

1507
01:20:58,400 --> 01:21:01,960
Speaker 1: just no two ways about it. Every game is is

1508
01:21:02,120 --> 01:21:06,240
Speaker 1: magnified now because there are so many teams right there

1509
01:21:06,280 --> 01:21:08,599
Speaker 1: with you, right there with you, and the team that

1510
01:21:08,640 --> 01:21:11,000
Speaker 1: you need to chase is the one that's kind of

1511
01:21:11,040 --> 01:21:13,800
Speaker 1: caught lightning in a bottle in New England. Well, now

1512
01:21:13,840 --> 01:21:15,400
Speaker 1: that puts you up against it because you're looking at

1513
01:21:15,400 --> 01:21:18,320
Speaker 1: the wild card and you've got to keep pace because

1514
01:21:18,320 --> 01:21:20,800
Speaker 1: one of the teams with fewer wins than you is

1515
01:21:20,840 --> 01:21:23,960
Speaker 1: going to win the North and they get in. Whether

1516
01:21:24,000 --> 01:21:26,639
Speaker 1: you can get a home game, yeah, they're better, whether

1517
01:21:26,680 --> 01:21:28,840
Speaker 1: you're better than them or not. They get a home

1518
01:21:28,880 --> 01:21:31,000
Speaker 1: playoff game. You don't, even though you've got a lot

1519
01:21:31,040 --> 01:21:34,320
Speaker 1: more wins than they do. So you got to keep winning.

1520
01:21:34,880 --> 01:21:37,360
Speaker 1: You've got to keep winning. Six and six is the

1521
01:21:37,400 --> 01:21:42,439
Speaker 1: top of the AFC North right now, and this just then,

1522
01:21:42,960 --> 01:21:44,920
Speaker 1: the Patriots are eleven and two at the top of

1523
01:21:44,920 --> 01:21:49,040
Speaker 1: the East. You're not catching them.

1524
01:21:49,080 --> 01:21:53,480
Speaker 2: Probably not to Kathy in Buffalo, what's up, Kathy?

1525
01:21:54,040 --> 01:22:01,559
Speaker 12: Hey? Are you issuing? God? Let's you hear that. I

1526
01:22:01,600 --> 01:22:06,040
Speaker 12: want to say that the dust thing that they did

1527
01:22:06,320 --> 01:22:08,679
Speaker 12: was a lot a lot of tapping of the ball

1528
01:22:09,439 --> 01:22:14,360
Speaker 12: in the air for the when when when the quarterback

1529
01:22:14,479 --> 01:22:19,800
Speaker 12: is throwing it? Okay, so do you you can get

1530
01:22:19,880 --> 01:22:20,920
Speaker 12: a silly question.

1531
01:22:22,160 --> 01:22:23,720
Speaker 2: You want him to be throwing the ball more? Is

1532
01:22:23,720 --> 01:22:24,320
Speaker 2: that what you're saying?

1533
01:22:24,880 --> 01:22:26,960
Speaker 12: No, no, no, I'm saying that. You know when they

1534
01:22:27,160 --> 01:22:29,200
Speaker 12: put your hands up, you know, after they do a

1535
01:22:29,200 --> 01:22:33,200
Speaker 12: tackle and they the bothing passed that they capped the

1536
01:22:33,200 --> 01:22:36,040
Speaker 12: ball and go somewhere else. And we got, we got,

1537
01:22:36,120 --> 01:22:41,160
Speaker 12: we got. Uh, you know, we intercepted the ball.

1538
01:22:41,560 --> 01:22:43,960
Speaker 1: Are you talking about when the defensive line tips the

1539
01:22:43,960 --> 01:22:47,960
Speaker 1: ball when the quarterback throws it and knocks it down. Yes, yeah, okay, yeah, yeah,

1540
01:22:48,000 --> 01:22:50,200
Speaker 1: you're right. That may be really important this week, particularly

1541
01:22:50,200 --> 01:22:51,960
Speaker 1: against the Joe Burrow who they may have to get

1542
01:22:51,960 --> 01:22:56,040
Speaker 1: the ball out fast. It was effective in this last

1543
01:22:56,040 --> 01:22:59,439
Speaker 1: game a couple of times on Rogers, and it has

1544
01:22:59,479 --> 01:23:03,599
Speaker 1: been effective as well in certain instances when they played

1545
01:23:03,720 --> 01:23:06,720
Speaker 1: quarterbacks like Tua, where they know the ball is coming

1546
01:23:06,760 --> 01:23:11,000
Speaker 1: out really fast, really quickly after the snap, and the

1547
01:23:11,360 --> 01:23:13,200
Speaker 1: d line knows that's the only chance they've got. They're

1548
01:23:13,200 --> 01:23:14,640
Speaker 1: never going to get to the quarterback in time, so

1549
01:23:14,640 --> 01:23:16,960
Speaker 1: they bat it down. That's it's a common thing. And uh,

1550
01:23:17,479 --> 01:23:19,679
Speaker 1: and you're right, it's effective. Thanks Kathy.

1551
01:23:20,600 --> 01:23:23,639
Speaker 2: We'll move along to Mike in Orchard Park. What's up, Mike.

1552
01:23:24,600 --> 01:23:27,640
Speaker 13: Hey, guys, thanks for taking my call. Sure, Hey, I

1553
01:23:27,680 --> 01:23:29,960
Speaker 13: gave you guys a call last week and you you know,

1554
01:23:30,000 --> 01:23:31,920
Speaker 13: you guys were kind of asking what do you want

1555
01:23:31,960 --> 01:23:33,600
Speaker 13: to see from the scene and whatnot, and I was

1556
01:23:33,680 --> 01:23:37,240
Speaker 13: kind of fired of about our Russian defense and hey, man,

1557
01:23:37,439 --> 01:23:40,080
Speaker 13: like they came to play, you know, regardless of the

1558
01:23:40,120 --> 01:23:43,120
Speaker 13: component and Aaron Rodgers risks and everything, I just felt

1559
01:23:43,120 --> 01:23:45,479
Speaker 13: I just felt that empsony was there, you know. And

1560
01:23:45,520 --> 01:23:48,320
Speaker 13: then as far as you know, offensively, you know, we

1561
01:23:48,360 --> 01:23:51,200
Speaker 13: struggled in the first half, but you know, like as

1562
01:23:51,400 --> 01:23:53,560
Speaker 13: as as a Bills fan, and it was encouraged to

1563
01:23:53,640 --> 01:23:55,519
Speaker 13: kind of see that fire in Josh Allen. You know

1564
01:23:55,640 --> 01:23:59,120
Speaker 13: when when Queen you know, did that late hit on him, Man,

1565
01:23:59,200 --> 01:24:01,280
Speaker 13: it was just like for that hit, it just felt

1566
01:24:01,280 --> 01:24:03,040
Speaker 13: like there was a change on the sideline. It just

1567
01:24:03,040 --> 01:24:05,680
Speaker 13: felt like, you know, like Allen was like brilliant in

1568
01:24:06,200 --> 01:24:08,439
Speaker 13: the game, and you know, if we can if we

1569
01:24:08,479 --> 01:24:10,519
Speaker 13: can carry that fire, you know, if this team can

1570
01:24:10,560 --> 01:24:14,599
Speaker 13: carry that fire. He carried an intensity like Chack Thompson said, well,

1571
01:24:14,600 --> 01:24:17,000
Speaker 13: we're not gonna get pushed around no more, and mc dermott.

1572
01:24:17,240 --> 01:24:19,559
Speaker 13: McDermott made the statement as well in this press conference

1573
01:24:19,560 --> 01:24:22,320
Speaker 13: and basically just you know, just stating that we're we're

1574
01:24:22,320 --> 01:24:24,400
Speaker 13: not getting pushed around no more. And you know, in

1575
01:24:24,439 --> 01:24:27,320
Speaker 13: the playoffs, that's what we got to do, man, you know,

1576
01:24:27,400 --> 01:24:29,680
Speaker 13: like we got to come out Brett intensity. And as

1577
01:24:29,680 --> 01:24:33,519
Speaker 13: far as stats wise, I was looking like it says

1578
01:24:33,560 --> 01:24:36,280
Speaker 13: that the Bills passing defense is like top five in

1579
01:24:36,320 --> 01:24:37,719
Speaker 13: elite is Is that correct?

1580
01:24:37,720 --> 01:24:38,000
Speaker 9: Guys?

1581
01:24:38,040 --> 01:24:40,800
Speaker 2: They're the number one pass defense in football now. Part

1582
01:24:40,800 --> 01:24:43,439
Speaker 2: of the reason why is because teams have run so

1583
01:24:43,520 --> 01:24:45,599
Speaker 2: successfully on them that they didn't have to throw it.

1584
01:24:46,680 --> 01:24:49,240
Speaker 2: So it's a little skewed because of that. But I

1585
01:24:49,280 --> 01:24:52,360
Speaker 2: feel like their past defense has gotten better here. I

1586
01:24:52,400 --> 01:24:55,840
Speaker 2: think Benford's play has seen an uptick. I think Tredavius

1587
01:24:55,840 --> 01:25:00,479
Speaker 2: White's play has seen an uptick of late, So that's

1588
01:25:00,600 --> 01:25:01,839
Speaker 2: encouraging going forward.

1589
01:25:04,479 --> 01:25:06,040
Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah, okay, thank you.

1590
01:25:06,439 --> 01:25:07,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, sure thing.

1591
01:25:08,920 --> 01:25:11,960
Speaker 1: I'll say I don't want to make a bigger deal

1592
01:25:11,960 --> 01:25:13,760
Speaker 1: out of it than this, because Shaq Thompson kind of

1593
01:25:13,760 --> 01:25:15,840
Speaker 1: poo pooed the idea. Some of the media asked him

1594
01:25:15,840 --> 01:25:17,479
Speaker 1: if you made a speech late last week and that,

1595
01:25:17,560 --> 01:25:20,080
Speaker 1: and he goes, I don't make no speech, you know.

1596
01:25:21,360 --> 01:25:24,600
Speaker 1: Sean McDermot said he did, And Shaq stood up and

1597
01:25:24,600 --> 01:25:29,800
Speaker 1: probably gave a little bit of an impassioned speech to

1598
01:25:29,920 --> 01:25:32,320
Speaker 1: his teammates in the defensive room about how they've got

1599
01:25:32,360 --> 01:25:37,800
Speaker 1: to play going forward. And I think it was well

1600
01:25:37,840 --> 01:25:40,040
Speaker 1: received by those guys. I mean, they showed it.

1601
01:25:40,960 --> 01:25:43,760
Speaker 2: He saw the most responsible gap integrity and tackling he's

1602
01:25:43,800 --> 01:25:44,479
Speaker 2: seen all seasons.

1603
01:25:44,479 --> 01:25:47,080
Speaker 1: The tackling was absolutely a cut above where they have

1604
01:25:47,160 --> 01:25:51,599
Speaker 1: been all year, and every guy, and even Danie Rolofsky said,

1605
01:25:51,600 --> 01:25:53,880
Speaker 1: even a veteran like Joey Bosa, was much better on

1606
01:25:53,920 --> 01:25:56,120
Speaker 1: the edge this this week. He set the edge and

1607
01:25:56,160 --> 01:25:58,559
Speaker 1: he set it tight to the ball, so they didn't

1608
01:25:58,560 --> 01:26:00,960
Speaker 1: you know it's he didn't at the edge halfway to

1609
01:26:01,000 --> 01:26:02,639
Speaker 1: the sideline. He said it right there on the line

1610
01:26:02,640 --> 01:26:09,760
Speaker 1: of scrimmage at the ball. And that makes a huge difference. Yeah,

1611
01:26:09,840 --> 01:26:13,559
Speaker 1: that that kind of leadership goes a long way, particularly

1612
01:26:13,600 --> 01:26:16,160
Speaker 1: at this time of year when you've got veterans like

1613
01:26:16,200 --> 01:26:20,760
Speaker 1: Shaq Thompson, like Joey Bosa and others stepping up saying listen,

1614
01:26:20,840 --> 01:26:23,519
Speaker 1: this ain't good enough, let's go. You saw the difference

1615
01:26:23,560 --> 01:26:27,800
Speaker 1: because I know the players believe they've got the guys

1616
01:26:27,800 --> 01:26:31,280
Speaker 1: that can get it done, and when they play like

1617
01:26:31,320 --> 01:26:33,439
Speaker 1: they did against Pittsburgh, it kind of proves it and

1618
01:26:33,439 --> 01:26:36,320
Speaker 1: it maybe it'll gain some momentum.

1619
01:26:35,720 --> 01:26:37,640
Speaker 2: Break time for us. Here one segment ago on a

1620
01:26:37,680 --> 01:26:56,880

1626
01:27:12,640 --> 01:27:15,240
Speaker 2: call in here before we go, Ryan and Syracuse, you

1627
01:27:15,280 --> 01:27:16,519
Speaker 2: are up. What do you got for us?

1628
01:27:17,520 --> 01:27:17,840
Speaker 12: Hello?

1629
01:27:18,120 --> 01:27:22,120
Speaker 4: So how big of an impact? What could kid be?

1630
01:27:22,680 --> 01:27:25,640
Speaker 4: And how many Fantasy points would he get? I know

1631
01:27:25,800 --> 01:27:30,960
Speaker 4: Kincaid's been hurt like a lot this season and last season,

1632
01:27:31,439 --> 01:27:34,559
Speaker 4: but what does impact really matter to the Bengals and

1633
01:27:34,640 --> 01:27:35,360
Speaker 4: the Bills.

1634
01:27:35,720 --> 01:27:38,639
Speaker 1: If he's healthy and one hundred percent, he will matter

1635
01:27:38,680 --> 01:27:40,360
Speaker 1: a great deal and he'll get a lot.

1636
01:27:40,240 --> 01:27:44,479
Speaker 2: Of targets, especially with the underneath voids right now this defense,

1637
01:27:44,560 --> 01:27:45,960
Speaker 2: depending on what the kind of game plan.

1638
01:27:46,040 --> 01:27:48,240
Speaker 1: The Bills have no question they can run the football.

1639
01:27:48,360 --> 01:27:53,719
Speaker 1: So even any Bills offensive receiver other than James Cook

1640
01:27:55,000 --> 01:27:58,160
Speaker 1: may be a risk because you don't know who is

1641
01:27:58,240 --> 01:28:01,960
Speaker 1: going to eat right But if King Kid's in there,

1642
01:28:02,000 --> 01:28:04,600
Speaker 1: he will get and has gotten the lion's share of

1643
01:28:04,600 --> 01:28:06,720
Speaker 1: the targets for this offense and when they throw it.

1644
01:28:06,800 --> 01:28:10,120
Speaker 1: So we'll see if that continues to be the case

1645
01:28:10,160 --> 01:28:11,719
Speaker 1: if he's healthy in one hundred percent.

1646
01:28:12,439 --> 01:28:15,280
Speaker 2: Their run defense has been better in recent weeks. The

1647
01:28:15,280 --> 01:28:18,960
Speaker 2: Bengals their red zone defense has been better in recent

1648
01:28:19,000 --> 01:28:21,960
Speaker 2: weeks as well, So they're trying to round that unit

1649
01:28:22,080 --> 01:28:26,599
Speaker 2: at least into a respectable one because the rankings are terrible,

1650
01:28:27,160 --> 01:28:29,080
Speaker 2: uh for the balance of the season, but they have

1651
01:28:29,200 --> 01:28:33,679
Speaker 2: corrected some things and been marginally better in some areas.

1652
01:28:33,720 --> 01:28:35,960
Speaker 2: But if you're the Bills, you're running right at this

1653
01:28:36,040 --> 01:28:38,759
Speaker 2: crew and say, prove to us you can stop this group.

1654
01:28:40,520 --> 01:28:44,200
Speaker 2: Because when push comes to shove, as long as Cincinnati

1655
01:28:44,200 --> 01:28:45,280
Speaker 2: does struggle, as.

1656
01:28:45,120 --> 01:28:50,479
Speaker 1: Long as it is a one score game or or less,

1657
01:28:52,200 --> 01:28:54,080
Speaker 1: if the Bills are trailing, they're gonna they're gonna run

1658
01:28:54,080 --> 01:28:56,200
Speaker 1: the football to do it. Now, unless the Bills get

1659
01:28:56,240 --> 01:28:58,800
Speaker 1: behind by a score or two there, you know, then

1660
01:28:58,840 --> 01:29:00,280
Speaker 1: they won't. Then they might start through one of the

1661
01:29:00,320 --> 01:29:02,160
Speaker 1: ball around. But as long as it's a close game

1662
01:29:02,360 --> 01:29:04,439
Speaker 1: where the Bills have a lead, they're gonna get a

1663
01:29:04,439 --> 01:29:06,639
Speaker 1: belly full of the run game or the Cincinnati Bengals.

1664
01:29:07,360 --> 01:29:11,719
Speaker 2: First injury reports come out tomorrow and we'll pass along

1665
01:29:11,840 --> 01:29:14,240
Speaker 2: practice updates to you as the players are back on

1666
01:29:14,280 --> 01:29:16,880
Speaker 2: the field tomorrow. We'll also have to check in on

1667
01:29:16,960 --> 01:29:20,599
Speaker 2: Cincinnati and see what is going on with the likes

1668
01:29:20,600 --> 01:29:23,240
Speaker 2: of t Higgins, who as of last week was in

1669
01:29:23,320 --> 01:29:28,360
Speaker 2: concussion protocol and Trey Hendrickson, who's already considered doubtful. Will

1670
01:29:28,400 --> 01:29:31,840
Speaker 2: catch up with Bengals reporter Ben Baby on tomorrow's show

1671
01:29:32,200 --> 01:29:35,559
Speaker 2: to give us the latest from Cincinnati. But that is

1672
01:29:35,680 --> 01:29:38,439
Speaker 2: it for us here today on a Tuesday edition of

1673
01:29:38,520 --> 01:29:41,160
Speaker 2: One Bill's Live, Steve and I will catch you tomorrow.

1674
01:29:41,320 --> 01:29:50,320
Speaker 2: For a Wednesday edition, we will see ed one
