1
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:36,880
Speaker 1: This One Bill's Live presented by Callida health Wave, made

2
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,599
Speaker 1: it a Friday. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you on

3
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:41,879
Speaker 1: One Bill's Live Friday edition. Thanks for making us part

4
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 1: of your afternoon. It is bitterly cold out there. You

5
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,559
Speaker 1: better be layering up for this one on Sunday if

6
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 1: you're coming out to the game, multiple layers, multiple and

7
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: if you own handwarmers and those footwarmer things, those might

8
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:04,319
Speaker 1: be apropos for Sunday's game. And there is now Steve,

9
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw this. Earlier in the week,

10
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:08,479
Speaker 1: we were talking about how there was no pre sip

11
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: in the forecast for the game. Now it looks as

12
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:14,319
Speaker 1: though it will be a dusting of snow in the

13
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: first half ew which is not all that different from

14
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 1: the playoff game two years ago against the Bengals when

15
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 1: there was a dusting of snow that compromised footing on

16
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: the field for some players. I hate that, not Joe Mixon,

17
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: but right it was not a part of this game now,

18
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 1: but you get what I'm saying. Gonna be called probably

19
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: a dusting of snow. We'll see if it impacts footing.

20
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 1: Hopefully it doesn't. As the Bengals come to town with

21
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow, with Jim ar Chase, and with T Higgins,

22
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: who cleared concussion protocol for the Bengals today. He will

23
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 1: be in uniform on Sunday for Cincinnati.

24
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 2: Just coming up all roses for Cincinnati.

25
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: Well yeah, and we'll get to the Bills news and

38
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: Sunday afternoon. Probably be wearing a T shirt.

39
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 2: Maybe where is Spider Man outfit?

40
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, get the Spider Man spandex on.

41
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:49,639
Speaker 2: That'd be nice.

42
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: I'd be yeah under the Jersey. Absolutely, why not. But

43
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: let's get to the Bills practice updates, because there is,

44
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 1: there are some subtractions and maybe a little bit of

45
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: a surprise edition. There Bills practice updates, presented by Lee

46
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 1: Coom your lake Erie of Lake Erie College of Osteopathic

47
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 1: Medicine and head coach Sean McDermott, to no one's surprise,

48
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 1: declared defensive end Joey Bosa and linebacker Terrel Bernard out

49
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: for Sunday's game against the Bengals. I think those injuries

50
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: the way they were going, that was widely expected that

51
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: neither player would be available on Sunday. Doubtful for the

52
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: game is wide receiver Joshua Palmer. I guess he's practicing

53
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: on a limited basis but not expected to get back

54
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: in time for Sunday's game. Good news is Dion Dawkins

55
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: has cleared concussion protocol and is good to go for Sunday,

56
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: so Dion will return to the lineup at left tackle.

57
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 1: Spencer Brown is going to practice today on a limited basis,

58
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: but his status for Sunday still to be determined. Coach

59
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: McDermott said how functional he is in practice with the

60
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: injured shoulder will go a long way, and determining whether

61
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: he is fit to play, The case is much the

62
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: same Steve. For Dalton Kincaid, who now has a knee

63
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: injury in addition to his hamstring injury. The knee injury

64
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 1: cropped up as he was rehabbing the hamstring, but his

65
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: status sounds questionable at best.

66
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, for the for the tackles, certainly, the urgency to

67
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 3: get Spencer Brown back on the field was alleviated by

68
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 3: how well the guy's played.

69
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 2: In his absence last week.

70
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, so they're not going to force him to

71
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 3: play because there's no there's no hurry now, no t J.

72
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 1: Watt in this game.

73
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 3: Right, So yeah, In fact, you know, Hendrickson isn't going

74
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 3: to play for the Cincinnata either, So that's why. Yeah,

75
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 3: So on the fact of you know, Spencer Brown, Okay,

76
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 3: that's all that's cool because we got guys we trust.

77
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 3: Kincaid is more problematic, and plus it you and I

78
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 3: are looking at each other. He got hurt rehabit it

79
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 3: started and it wasn't like it got hurt, but it

80
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 3: started to flare up. I guess it seems like it

81
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 3: flared up from an injury he had during training camp.

82
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: And knee injury in camp went away resurfaced.

83
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 2: It's frustrating.

84
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 1: It's got to be frustrating for him, you know, it's

85
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 1: frustrating for the coaching staff because they'd like to have

86
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:22,599
Speaker 1: him out on the field, especially because the Cincinnati Bengals

87
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: have given up more yards receiving and more receiving touchdowns

88
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 1: to tight ends than any other team in football. In

89
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,799
Speaker 1: twelve games, they are giving up an average of ninety

90
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: three point four receiving yards and they have given up

91
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 1: thirteen touchdowns passing to tight ends this season. So maybe

92
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 1: it's time for Dawson Knox and Jackson Haws.

93
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 2: To eat this weekend.

94
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be opposed to that. Some other good news

95
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: on the injury front. Defensive end Ajpanessa, who missed practiced

96
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: yesterday and popped up with a foot injury on the

97
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 1: injury report Thursday, is good to go for Sunday's game.

98
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: He's practicing fully today, so that's certainly good news because

99
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 1: had he been unavailable in addition to Bosa, the Bills

100
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 1: would have had only two healthy defensive ends on the

101
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,479
Speaker 1: active roster and would have probably had to pull up

102
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:20,039
Speaker 1: as many as two defensive ends just to fill the rotation.

103
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: They have Shaq Lawson and Morgan Fox on the practice squad.

104
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: Presumably one of those players will be called up this

105
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 1: weekend in the absence of Bosa, probably Morgan Fox, who's

106
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: been here a little bit longer. We'll have to see

107
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 1: what Sunday brings. So that's kind of the nuts and

108
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 1: bolts of the injury report, and we'll probably get the

109
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: Friday final status on all these players a little bit

110
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: later on. The show usually comes down right around two

111
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: thirty in the afternoon, so hopefully somewhere in the final

112
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: half hour of the show, we'll have that information to

113
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: pass along to you. Bills released cornerback JaMarcus Ingram was

114
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: claimed off waivers by the Houston Texans. They had an

115
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: injury at cornerback, so the Texas native is back in

116
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 1: his home state. Head coach Sean mcdermo, when asked about

117
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: the Darius slayh waiver claim today, said it was unfortunate

118
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: how it all went down, with Slay not reporting apparently

119
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: contemplating retirement, because the end result was the Bills lost

120
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 1: a player from their roster rather than even gaining an upgrade.

121
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 1: They're minus one in this equation, right, So that's stings.

122
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, because that's Yeah, that does stink.

123
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: I said sting, But it stinks too.

124
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 2: But yeah, Brandon beans up there going what Yeah, you're

125
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 2: kidding me? What are you kidding me? Yeah?

126
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 3: So yeah, he from you go from thinking you're going

127
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 3: to get better and get a really veteran guy who

128
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 3: knows what's going on to like losing one of the

129
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,239
Speaker 3: guys you've had on your roster and around the building

130
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 3: for three years.

131
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, that's horrible.

132
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: So an unfortunate circumstance there, for sure. The Bill's reten

133
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: Hain Slay's rights while he's contemplating whatever. There is speculation

134
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: out there he wanted to get back with the Philadelphia Eagles,

135
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 1: who did put in a claim for Slay, but they

136
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:18,559
Speaker 1: were further down in the waiver order than Buffalo. Let's

137
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 1: go around the NFL presented by Kalida Healthy, official healthcare

138
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 1: system of the Buffalo Bills and the Bengals. As we said,

139
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 1: we'll have T Higgins back in the lineup on Sunday.

140
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 1: He has cleared concussion protocol, so he will play against

141
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 1: the Bills. So I believe this is the first game

142
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 1: since perhaps Week two that The Bengals have Burrow, Chase,

143
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 1: and Higgins all in the lineup because Chase was out

144
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 1: last week on suspension, so it looks like all three

145
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 1: of those jokers will be in the game on Sunday.

146
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 1: The Detroit Lions dealt a significant blow to the Dallas

147
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 1: Cowboys playoff chances with their forty four to thirty win

148
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 1: on Thursday Night Football. Jamir Gibbs had three rushing touchdowns

149
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,599
Speaker 1: in the victory. Lions remain in the eighth spot in

150
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 1: the NFC playoff picture, but improve their odds from forty

151
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: three percent to fifty six percent to make the playoffs

152
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 1: per Next Gen Stats. The Lions did, however, lose safety

153
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 1: Brian Branch for the season after he ruptured his achilles

154
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 1: in the game. Meanwhile, Cowboys dropped to six six and

155
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: one on the season. They also lost Cede Lamb in

156
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: that game to a concussion.

157
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, Cowboys had three turnovers in that game, scored thirty points,

158
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 3: so their offense is not much wrong with their offense,

159
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 3: but they couldn't you.

160
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 2: Know deep, Detroit just had their way.

161
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, they boat raced them on offense for sure. Washington

162
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 1: commanders have confirmed that quarterback Jayden Daniels will return to

163
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 1: the lineup this weekend when Washington plays Minnesota. Back from

164
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 1: a dislocated elbow, Daniels has missed the last four games. Meanwhile,

165
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: Vikings quarterback JJ McCarthy cleared concussion protocol Thursday, so he'll

166
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: be back in the starting lineup for the the Vikings

167
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 1: when they play the Commanders on Sunday. Cardinals head coach

168
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 1: Jonathan Gannon confirmed today that quarterback Kyler Murray will not

169
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 1: play again this season. His progress and trying to return

170
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: from a foot injury not going as hoped. He's not

171
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 1: going to make it back in time. So it's Jacoby

172
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 1: Brissett the rest of the way for Arizona. A lot

173
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 1: of quarterback injury news this year.

174
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think Arizona was too keen on getting

175
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 3: Kyler Murray back anyway. That they're playing better with Brissett

176
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 3: under center. That's more steady, and I know Brissette. I've

177
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 3: spoken with him about him. I don't know too much

178
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 3: about Kyler, but Brissett is a real gifted leader. He's

179
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 3: a team guy. Guys love and playing for him, so

180
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 3: he's given him all the intangibles they want from that position.

181
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 3: That's an area where Kyler Murray's gotten some criticism in

182
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:58,319
Speaker 3: the past, so I think, you know, I don't know

183
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 3: if they're giving Kyler the heisman. Oh, but there are

184
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 3: people calling that this may this.

185
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 1: Would be the end of Murray's time with the Card.

186
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:07,439
Speaker 1: He's number one overall.

187
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 3: He's he's deep into a second contract, so the cap

188
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,719
Speaker 3: hit will be mitigated. I'll check on that as we talk,

189
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 3: but it's that conversation started in Arizona.

190
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: Baltimore offensive coordinator Todd Monkins said Thursday expects quarterback Lamar

191
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 1: Jackson to play against the Steelers, despite the two time

192
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: MVP missing practice with an ankle injury. Monkin said, quote,

193
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: I just give him a lot of credit. He's battling

194
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: each week trying to get healthy enough to be able

195
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 1: to play every Sunday.

196
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 2: That's what I see out of him, a guy that's.

197
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: Battling little nagging injuries, things that are stopping him from

198
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,199
Speaker 1: being able to get out there every day in practice.

199
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 1: Jackson was limited on Wednesday, did not practice yesterday, but

200
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: he is on the practice field today, so it looks

201
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 1: like he's trending in the right direction. To make Todd

202
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 1: Monkin accurate, in his comments, believing he will be good

203
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 1: to go, and it's Ravens Steelers, like that's their biggest

204
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 1: game of the year.

205
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's in terms of rivalry.

206
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:08,560
Speaker 3: That's a rivalry game for sure. Yeah. The players are

207
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 3: talking about it already. They're like they're talking about like

208
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 3: it's a college rivalry game. Yeah, So it's it's real.

209
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,319
Speaker 1: And Bucks head coach Todd Bowle said today that wide

210
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 1: receivers Mike Evans and Jalen McMillan, who returned to practice

211
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 1: this week, will not play Sunday against the Saints. Neither

212
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 1: receiver is ready to return to game action yet. So

213
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 1: Bucks receiving corps has been banged up all year long.

214
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 1: They're just trying to get healthy. So that's kind of

215
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:40,199
Speaker 1: the state of affairs down in Tampa. So that's around

216
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,839

229
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:27,599
Speaker 1: your tailgates for this weekend. I'm guessing a lot of

230
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: cayenne pepper in the rest this weekend to try to

231
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,839
Speaker 1: stay warm because it's going to be pretty cold out there.

232
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 2: Avat's a chili.

233
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, chili is a savior on days like we're going

234
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 1: to have on Sunday. But curious to see what you

235
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 1: have on your menus for your tailgates for the Bengals

236
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,559
Speaker 1: game this weekend, So fire those off to us. Also

237
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,200

238
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 1: like what we see on your menu, who knows, we

239
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 1: may stop by and have a little something for you

240
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 1: as well from the good folks at Wegmans. So get

241
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: those menu items over to us pronto because we'll be

242
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 1: reviewing them a little bit later on in the show,

243
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 1: and obviously second hour of the show, we'll have Senior

244
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 1: producer from NFL Films, Greg Cosell joining us. We'll draw

245
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 1: up the x's and o's for Bill's Bengals on Sunday

246
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 1: with him. I'm I don't feel any different knowing that

247
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 1: T Higgins is playing in this game than I did

248
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 1: earlier in the week when it was still up in

249
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 1: the air. I will say I do feel better knowing

250
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 1: the Bills are going to have at least one of

251
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 1: their starting offensive tackles back in the game. Sure, with

252
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 1: Dion on the left side, you know, so worst case scenario,

253
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 1: got Ryan Vandermark on the right and he's spelled Spencer before.

254
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 1: And as we said earlier, there's no tremendous pass rush

255
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 1: threat from the Vikings. Here's just numbers or the Bengals. Sorry,

256
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 1: why did I say Vikings Bengals Cincinnati thirty point one

257
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 1: quarterback pressure percentage twenty twenty five. That's the sixth lowest

258
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 1: pressure percentage in the league. They've also blitzed just twenty

259
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 1: percent of dropbacks in twenty twenty five. That's the fewest

260
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 1: in the NFL. I wonder if they change that this week,

261
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 1: although Josh is pretty good at beating the blitz, so yeah,

262
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 1: they may back off and just drop eight into coverage.

263
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 2: It might in case we're running the ball though, right.

264
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I think the run game will be pronounced.

265
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 3: I think they're gonna have to plan for that first.

266
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 2: Because they're not good at stopping that, yea.

267
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 3: And I think it'll come down to down and distances,

268
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 3: to the throwing game is and what they'll do against it.

269
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 3: If the Bills are in short yardage and third and shorts,

270
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 3: all their third mediums and never not too much third

271
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 3: and long, they still have to think about the run, right,

272
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 3: particularly unless their Bills are in their own end. The

273
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 3: Bills are going to a fourth down, go for it

274
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 3: if they're out of their own end, if they're at

275
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 3: the fifty, right, I think, even especially in the game

276
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 3: like this.

277
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: Drives have to finish with touchdown cut.

278
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 2: You gotta be efficient, You got.

279
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: To score points, you know that. Yeah, let's go to

280
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 1: the phones at eight o three zero five fifty one

281
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 1: eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty and to

282
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 1: Tom on a cell. What's up Tom?

283
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 4: Hi, guys, I got qussion about coin toss and the format.

284
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 1: Are you right?

285
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 2: Yeah?

286
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, Okay.

287
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 4: When you guys been the coin toss, you always elected defer.

288
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 4: I'm thinking with the Cincinnati come into town, if you

289
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 4: got a chance to get the ball first, I think

290
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 4: you would grab the ball. Don't worry about having the

291
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 4: ball of the stucond. But second or third quarter you

292
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 4: could be two touchdown down. The things don't go right. Okay,

293
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 4: that was the So I wouldn't if I won the toss,

294
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 4: I would I take the ball. I want the ball,

295
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 4: just like just like h and over time you playing

296
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:05,920
Speaker 4: all the time, it was rather head the ball, right.

297
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:07,440
Speaker 1: I get what you're saying.

298
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 4: All right, And I got one question for Steve. Okay,

299
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 4: he's got if he's got a second.

300
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 2: Go ahead.

301
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 4: Okay, Steve, do you do any noodling?

302
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:24,920
Speaker 2: Oh no, no, you're talking about getting into a river

303
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:28,440
Speaker 2: and noodling for fish. Yes, yeah, no I don't. I

304
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:30,680
Speaker 2: did it when as a kid, but I haven't done

305
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 2: it in fifty years.

306
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:37,119
Speaker 4: Okay, Well I was. I was stationed at Fort Robingworth.

307
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, back during the Vietnam era. Yeah yeah, I

308
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 4: always tell everybody was on the right side of the fence.

309
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,399
Speaker 2: What anyway, what what river did you noodle in?

310
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 4: It was just a friend of mine told me about it.

311
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 4: Oh and I told he was full of maloney, No,

312
00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 4: he says. He says, I usually put it worms or

313
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 4: something in the time of my hand, stick it down.

314
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 3: In the water.

315
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know.

316
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 2: The more although, yeah, the more.

317
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:13,440
Speaker 3: The more common way to noodle is you get in

318
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,639
Speaker 3: you go to the bank of the river and you

319
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,160
Speaker 3: just reach back in the hole in the bank and.

320
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:20,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, because there's a fish in there.

321
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:21,679
Speaker 3: There's a fish in there, and you just pull it out.

322
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 3: And usually it's catfish, so yeah, and they get some

323
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 3: big catfish in Fortunately catfish don't have teeth, that's right,

324
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 3: So yeah, they do have those fins on the back

325
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 3: that will stick you.

326
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:33,680
Speaker 2: Yeah.

327
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, but yeah, No, I have not noodled in a

328
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 3: long time. And thanks for the thanks for the question, Tom.

329
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:39,679
Speaker 2: Sure I was.

330
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 1: That's when I was that. I did not have that

331
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:41,880
Speaker 1: question on.

332
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,200
Speaker 2: My big knody either. That was that was out of them.

333
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:47,119
Speaker 1: As for the coin toss, I think you can make

334
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:51,160
Speaker 1: an argument for taking the ball first, knowing the high

335
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 1: octane offense against whom you are playing. And Sean McDermott

336
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 1: has done it on occasion. I think he actually did

337
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:01,160
Speaker 1: it one time in a playoff game.

338
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,439
Speaker 3: To do it sometimes when the conditions are a certain

339
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:05,919
Speaker 3: way where you'd rather or you know, the conditions are

340
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 3: going to Yeah, that that might be the reason to

341
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:12,399
Speaker 3: do it. The reason they don't take the ball is

342
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 3: the change over at halftime because the way, more often

343
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 3: than not, the way possessions go in a game, you

344
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 3: get the ball at the end of the first half

345
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:24,679
Speaker 3: and at the beginning of the second half, because of

346
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 3: the coin flip, you deferred, so and it it just

347
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:31,399
Speaker 3: works out that way so many times analytics that's when

348
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,919
Speaker 3: guys started saying, now we're going to defer, because what

349
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 3: you do is you get a chance to double up.

350
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:37,879
Speaker 3: You get two possessions in a row, one at the

351
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 3: end of the first half, and and of course I

352
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 3: want to coming into out of halftime. So that's the

353
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 3: reason they don't. They defer the ball on the kickoff.

354
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 3: So it's not worrying about team getting off to a

355
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:53,400
Speaker 3: fast start or anything like that. It's like the number

356
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 3: of possessions. So you may, I don't know that they

357
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 3: would do that because of that reason.

358
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 2: You don't. You want more possessions, and that's one way

359
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 2: to get them.

360
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 1: To Judy in Buffalo next, what's up, Judy?

361
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:12,640
Speaker 6: You know this has been a very disappointing season when

362
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:17,400
Speaker 6: he considered the Bills were considered a Super Bowl contender. Now,

363
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 6: the four losses we have, I think the only one

364
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 6: I can stomach is the one to the Dolphins, because

365
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 6: the Dolphins always play the Bills tough. The point I

366
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 6: want to make is, as diminished as the Bills are,

367
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:36,680
Speaker 6: they have to prove something by sweeping all five games.

368
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 6: I know there are a couple of tough opponents there,

369
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:43,439
Speaker 6: but at this point, the Bills have to establish themselves

370
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 6: as we thought they were from the beginning of the season.

371
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:50,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, that's fair.

372
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 3: I'll say that, Judy, you're echoing a lot of the

373
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 3: sentiment we get from Bills fans.

374
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,160
Speaker 1: Sorry, Judy, I thought you were done.

375
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 3: You're echoing a lot of the sentiment that we get

376
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,359
Speaker 3: from Bills fans out. You know, they're an eight and

377
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 3: four team. They are winning record, and they're playing and

378
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 3: a lot of teams would kill the you know, being

379
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:07,920
Speaker 3: the playoff hunt right now.

380
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:09,160
Speaker 2: But it's not enough.

381
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:12,920
Speaker 3: This team feels like a disappointment because I think of

382
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 3: the way their losses are and not for nothing, some

383
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:22,159
Speaker 3: of their wins were underwhelming. We got more negative calls

384
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 3: when they beat Carolina forty to nine. Then we did

385
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 3: some of the other things wins. I mean, it's amazing,

386
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,639
Speaker 3: But yeah, you're Judy, You're echoing a lot of sentiments

387
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 3: from a lot of Bills fans. They feel like this

388
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,399
Speaker 3: season somehow is a disappointment, even though the Bills are

389
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 3: still in it. It looks like they're going to get

390
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 3: to the playoffs. We think, you know, unless they unless

391
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 3: they drop you know, drop the ball here down the stretch.

392
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 3: And you're right, I think winning all five of these

393
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 3: games down the stretch and it would be six because

394
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 3: of the Pittsburgh game they just won. But if they

395
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 3: win the remaining five and go on six game winning

396
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 3: streak to end out the season, that would go a

397
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:09,679
Speaker 3: long way probably towards, you know, restoring the hope that

398
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 3: Bills fans have for the playoffs this year, because right now,

399
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 3: Bills fans are kind of looking sideways at the team

400
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 3: because of what I said that, you know, they feel

401
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,399
Speaker 3: like it's a disappointment because the way they've won the

402
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 3: games they've lost, how they've lost them, how they've looked

403
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 3: in those losses. You know, offensive philosophy is always a

404
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 3: hot button for every team, and it certainly is for

405
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:31,400
Speaker 3: the Bills this year.

406
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 2: So yeah, I hear you, Judy, and you're right.

407
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 3: You know, they sweep these last five games from this

408
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 3: end of it anyway, depending on what those games look like, right, Yeah,

409
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 3: that would restore a lot of hope and a lot

410
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:45,639
Speaker 3: of faith in this club.

411
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:46,679
Speaker 2: That's a big ask.

412
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 1: Bills have done it before, though they have. They did

413
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:50,879
Speaker 1: it in twenty twenty three, ran off five in a

414
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 1: row at the end and won the division. I don't

415
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 1: think the division is in the cards as it was then.

416
00:22:56,480 --> 00:23:01,199
Speaker 1: The Bills have single digit percentage chance of winning the division.

417
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,239
Speaker 1: You would need New England to lose three of their

418
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,399
Speaker 1: last four games, including the one against the Bills next week,

419
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 1: to win the division. And that's assuming that the Bills

420
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 1: win all five of theirs or four of theirs at least.

421
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,119
Speaker 1: If the Patriots lose three of their last four, the

422
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:19,640
Speaker 1: Bills can win for their last five, ideally lose to Philadelphia,

423
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:24,920
Speaker 1: which is a non conference loss, then they could win

424
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:29,199
Speaker 1: the division. But with the schedule that New England has

425
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 1: with the Jets in Miami at the end, it's pretty

426
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 1: unlikely they're going to lose three of their last four.

427
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:38,399
Speaker 1: So stranger things have happened, though, you always hope. But

428
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 1: I think the point that Judy makes is they got

429
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 1: to go on a run. They've done it before in December.

430
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 1: They're eighteen and three in December since twenty twenty, this

431
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,400
Speaker 1: team historically knows how to close.

432
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:50,399
Speaker 2: So yeah, we'll see.

433
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 3: But yeah, Judy is it's been a while since we've

434
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:54,879
Speaker 3: heard from her, but she's I think she's running the money.

435
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 1: Well squeeze Tom in Rochester in here before the break?

436
00:23:58,359 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 1: What's up Tom?

437
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 7: Hey, guys, how you doing good? Hey? My question is

438
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,640
Speaker 7: about the field across the street there. We all saw

439
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 7: the turf going in like a month ago, and you know,

440
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:12,479
Speaker 7: I'd really like to see a video now. Is all

441
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 7: the heat on underneath it?

442
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 2: Are? Yeah?

443
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 7: Did they employ any kind of grow lights or what?

444
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 7: Thank you bike, I got.

445
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:23,680
Speaker 1: No problem, Tom. Yeah, they have a fully heated system,

446
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:27,440
Speaker 1: heated coil system underneath the field so the ground never

447
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:30,120
Speaker 1: freezes and they can grow the grass through the winter

448
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 1: pretty much. That's why they put the grass down now,

449
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:37,400
Speaker 1: even though the stadium doesn't open until next August, because

450
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 1: they wanted to get a full growing season in for

451
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 1: the grass so it could take root and be firmer,

452
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 1: because if you're plant grass and then three weeks later

453
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:49,879
Speaker 1: you got three hundred pounds men running around on it,

454
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:51,719
Speaker 1: it's gonna get torn up pretty easily.

455
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I haven't seen we have rinnan and I haven't

456
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 3: been over there for a minute. So yeah, the field's

457
00:24:56,880 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 3: down and you can imagine nobody's allowed to get on it.

458
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, everything.

459
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 3: Hallowed ground right exactly, so it's it's off limits to everybody.

460
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 3: So it'll I'm kind of anxious for a look at

461
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 3: it as well. It's funny to you know, the grounds

462
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 3: guys here, I think they've been over there and they're

463
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 3: kind of looking out for it. But uh, it's it's

464
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 3: gonna be awesome. It's gonna look great. I mean, what

465
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 3: are you gonna say. I mean, it's gonna be a

466
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,879
Speaker 3: natural grass. And I know we talked about it. We

467
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 3: talked about it yesterday about how the NFL has now

468
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 3: made mandated by twenty twenty seven, every NFL stadium is

469
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:40,719
Speaker 3: going to have a threshold of the surface that they

470
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 3: can play on, and there's gonna.

471
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:44,919
Speaker 2: Belah quality control.

472
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 3: The surfaces are going to be more uniform and they're

473
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 3: going to be of the same brand, or at least

474
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:52,200
Speaker 3: from a list of brands that are certified.

475
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 2: And uh, you know, obviously this.

476
00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 3: This field is going to qualify because by light years

477
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 3: the way they've got it set up now. So yeah,

478
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 3: the place is looking looking great.

479
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 1: Yep, it's starting to take shape for sure. We are

480
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 1: going to take a break here, but when we come back,

481
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 1: more of your phone calls, and we also have to

482
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 1: present to you the collision course for Sunday's game between

483
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:20,439
Speaker 1: the Bills and Bengals. We'll tell you what that is

484
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:22,879
Speaker 1: when we return here on One Bill's Live presented by

485
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:40,400
Speaker 1: Colid of Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio. Collision course is

486
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:45,399
Speaker 1: presented by Gabes Collision your Car's Best Defense and the

487
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 1: collision course this week is Buffalo's run game against the

488
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:53,719
Speaker 1: bengals porous run defense. Bills have run the ball on

489
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:56,719
Speaker 1: forty nine and a half percent of their plays this season.

490
00:26:56,760 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 1: That is the second highest percentage in the NFL.

491
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 2: Well.

492
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:04,440
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, the Bengals have allowed one hundred and fifty three

493
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 1: rushing yards per game, second most in the league behind

494
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,640
Speaker 1: only the New York Giants, will give up a yard

495
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,680
Speaker 1: more per game on the ground. That is the matchup

496
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 1: Bills should have success.

497
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:22,680
Speaker 2: Yeah. With the run defense like that, the game may

498
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 2: get over in like two and a half hours of

499
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:28,639
Speaker 2: the running clock, you know. Yeah, I mean it's just

500
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 2: win baby.

501
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 3: If Cincinnati comes out and tries to run the football,

502
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 3: even with all their weapons on the outside, because of

503
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 3: Buffalo's you know, has shown up until last week, the

504
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:43,359
Speaker 3: inability to stop the run effectively. Both these clubs come

505
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 3: out running it. Games go fast.

506
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think. I don't see the Bengals doing that.

507
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 1: I could see the Bills doing it and then using

508
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 1: their pass game as a compliment to their league leading

509
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:58,159
Speaker 1: rushing attack. The Bengals, while they have shown an ability

510
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 1: to run the ball, they got their quarterback back in

511
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:03,919
Speaker 1: the lineup. They're going to be having him throw the

512
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 1: ball all over the place, right, I mean, that's what

513
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:06,879
Speaker 1: you gotta believe is gonna happen.

514
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 3: Yes, with Higgins Chase, they haven't been on the field

515
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:15,160
Speaker 3: a lot together obviously because of Joe's injury this year,

516
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 3: suspension with Chase everything, So yeah, they're they're gonna be

517
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 3: chomping at them.

518
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:25,359
Speaker 1: Yet, here's another good set of statistics to throw at people.

519
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 1: According to Next Gen Stats, Cincinnati is the last in

520
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 1: the NFL with one hundred and thirty three mistackles, allowing

521
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 1: nine hundred and seven yards because of those mistackles in

522
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, their rookie linebacker Demetrius Knight one of

523
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 1: the most guilty offenders fourth in the NFL and miss

524
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 1: tackles with seventeen on the season. Meanwhile, two of their

525
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 1: three safeties have fifteen or more mistackles, Jordan Battle with sixteen,

526
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:58,360
Speaker 1: Gino Stone with fifteen, and here's the coup de gras,

527
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 1: Steve James Cook has forced fifty three mistackles in twenty

528
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 1: twenty five. That is the fourth highest total in the NFL.

529
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, the defensively and the Bengals are gonna They played

530
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 3: better this last week against Baltimore and carved out five

531
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 3: turnovers from Baltimore.

532
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 2: So a little of it was the Ravens.

533
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 3: But Cincinnati's ranked thirty second, thirty second, twenty ninth, thirty first,

534
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 3: thirteenth in their interception rate, thirtieth in their sacks attempts

535
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 3: thirty second. Now they're getting the punt and kickoff team.

536
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 3: Not so bad third down percentage. They're thirty first fourth down,

537
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 3: their twenty third red zone they're twenty eighth. They just

538
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 3: they have struggle to stop people, struggle to stop people,

539
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 3: and you got to use that to your advantage. You

540
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 3: gotta win that matchup. You almost have to act like

541
00:29:57,880 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 3: you got to use it to your advantage, Like if

542
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 3: you want to keep Joe Burrow off the field, excuse me,

543
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 3: that's what you got to do. Yep, that's what you've

544
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 3: got to do. And you've got to You've got to think.

545
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 3: You gotta have confidence that your run game is gonna

546
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 3: get your first down and a first down and first down.

547
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 1: And it should again defense with the way they perform

548
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 1: this season. So that is Collision Course presented by Gabe's

549
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 1: Collision your Car's Best Defense. Let's jump back on the

550
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 1: phone lines here on this obl fan Friday mail bag

551
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 1: into Mark in West Seneca.

552
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 2: What's up? Mark?

553
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 8: Hey, Chris, say, Steve, are you today?

554
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 2: Good? Good?

555
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 8: Good good? A couple I got to comment about a

556
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 8: couple of players. In a comment about Joe Brades real quick,

557
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 8: if you let me go here for a minute, I

558
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 8: think the Bills are a little bit between the rock

559
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 8: and a higher place on Bernardo and I can Kate

560
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 8: and I say that because they're both very key players

561
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 8: on the team, central figures in both offense and defense,

562
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 8: and relied on very much. And they can't stay on

563
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 8: the field. And you can't have guys at those kind

564
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 8: of positions that season after season can't stay on the field.

565
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 8: And not only are they not just missing games and

566
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:13,239
Speaker 8: missing multitudes of games. So and I know they just

567
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 8: gave TV the extension. In my eyes, if he's going

568
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 8: to be on the team next year, he's got to

569
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 8: move to will weinbacker. And we need to find a bigger,

570
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 8: more physical solution at the MIC for us to be

571
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 8: a better team. It just has to happen. And I

572
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 8: don't know what we do with Kiin Kaid, I really don't.

573
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 8: I love him when he's on the field, but you know,

574
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 8: if we can't get him to turn the corner physically

575
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 8: and be on the field, we have to start looking

576
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 8: for other solutions for the key guy in our passing game.

577
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 8: They're just my thoughts on that. And then real quick,

578
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 8: Joe Brady, I think Brownie you mentioned that since he's

579
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 8: terrible against tight ends, I hope Joe does not pull back.

580
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 8: I'm looking at that this year because I think he's

581
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 8: had a few suspect game plans on where he's attacked

582
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:08,719
Speaker 8: teams during the season this year. And Dawson Knox is

583
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,959
Speaker 8: more than capable. And I always forget our young our

584
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 8: rookie Titenand's name.

585
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 7: Haws.

586
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 8: I mean, I believe he can catch the ball too.

587
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 8: And I guess the team that can't cover tight ends,

588
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 8: I think they need to be a major, major part

589
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 8: of the game plan and not just to pass here another,

590
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 8: you know one in the first half of half. And

591
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 8: we're going to concentrate where we always go all the time,

592
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:37,480
Speaker 8: which is always deferring to the running game before anything else.

593
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 8: And I know it's our it's our bread and butter,

594
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 8: but we still have to start showing that we have

595
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 8: other things that we can do. So just my thoughts

596
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 8: to guys.

597
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 1: I appreciate it, a lot of good thoughts in there.

598
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 1: And I'll let Steve handle the Kincaide stuff. I'll handle

599
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 1: the linebacker stuff. I think it's it's headed in that direction.

600
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 1: I mean you can see it, Mark, I can see it.

601
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 1: Milano and all likehood not going to be here next

602
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 1: year is contract up, He's going to be a free agent.

603
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 1: You're committed to Bernard Long term, but getting off blocks

604
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 1: with guards coming down to him on the second level

605
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 1: is difficult for him, so logic would say he might

606
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 1: be better suited to play on the open side. So that

607
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 1: means you got to get a true middle linebacker on

608
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 1: this roster next year. And fortunately for the Bills, it

609
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 1: is a great linebacker draft this year. There are a

610
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 1: host of guys that are plug and play, probably about

611
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 1: five or six that I think you could draft and

612
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 1: almost immediately drop in your starting lineup. It goes that deep.

613
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 1: So that's a good thing for the Bills, who are

614
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 1: clearly going to have a position need there and they're

615
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 1: probably going to have to draft two of them. I mean,

616
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 1: you don't. You're probably going to try to re sign

617
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,640
Speaker 1: Shack in light of the season that he's had, But

618
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 1: the fact is he's going to be an eleven year

619
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 1: veteran by then, and he already showed you a couple

620
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 1: of times this year. Injuries can crop up when you

621
00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 1: get a little bit longer in the tooth and you're

622
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 1: playing a major role. So so I don't I think

623
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 1: it would be foolish to count on that, although I

624
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 1: would support re signing him. You have Dorian Williams and

625
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:11,759
Speaker 1: you've got Bernard. You got to add two more there,

626
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 1: two more. So do it in the draft, refortify your ranks.

627
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:20,799
Speaker 1: Obviously there's other positional needs, but there are I guess

628
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 1: what I'm saying is there are viable and encouraging solutions

629
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 1: for the problem that you're raising.

630
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 3: And as for Kincaid, my thoughts would be this, you

631
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 3: have to ask yourself as a staff or you know,

632
00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:35,919
Speaker 3: because we run the ball so much, the Buffalo Bills

633
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 3: and their offense is kind of geared that way. Is

634
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 3: he getting nicked up because he's in the you know,

635
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 3: in the run game, getting beat up that kind of thing.

636
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:45,719
Speaker 3: Is he getting caught under piles? Is that why his

637
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 3: injuries are happening? Or do you you know, is it

638
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 3: something else? Is it something that he struggles to stay

639
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 3: healthy and would under any circumstances. Then you've got to

640
00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 3: You've got to make a decision on how patience you're

641
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:04,360
Speaker 3: willing to be on a year to year basis. Certainly

642
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:08,880
Speaker 3: it's happened already more than you wish it did. You know,

643
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:13,319
Speaker 3: everybody's going to get hurt at some point, but his

644
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:18,360
Speaker 3: injuries do seem to be I don't know, wide ranging

645
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:19,960
Speaker 3: all this knee that he's had, the one he had

646
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:22,000
Speaker 3: in training camp, and now he's back and now it's

647
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:24,440
Speaker 3: kind of flaring up again. That's been recurring and kind

648
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:27,279
Speaker 3: of he's dragging that around and it may be from

649
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 3: the knee injury last year.

650
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:28,920
Speaker 2: We don't know.

651
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,799
Speaker 3: Sean McDermot didn't have any answers for that either. But

652
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:34,239
Speaker 3: if you start getting the same injuries cropping up all

653
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 3: the time, then you know or I don't know whether

654
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:42,360
Speaker 3: that's good because you got something you can address, or

655
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:45,680
Speaker 3: whether getting injured all the time everywhere, a different thing

656
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:46,280
Speaker 3: every week.

657
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:47,880
Speaker 2: I think that's worse.

658
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:51,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, we've seen it over the years, Steve. There are

659
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:53,880
Speaker 1: just some players with bodies that just hold up to

660
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,319
Speaker 1: the rigors of this game better than others. And there

661
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:59,880
Speaker 1: are other players that they just can't stay on the field,

662
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:03,719
Speaker 1: whether they're young or old, they're just not built to

663
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:06,359
Speaker 1: withstand the riggers of the game for whatever reason, coll

664
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:10,360
Speaker 1: of jeans, whatever you want to say, but it's different.

665
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:11,919
Speaker 2: I say this as well.

666
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 3: Joey Bosa stayed remarkably healthy throughout this season. Now he's

667
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 3: got a hammy, which is obviously is the injury du

668
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 3: jour this year, but he's not going to be out

669
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 3: for that long.

670
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:29,359
Speaker 2: But he has stayed. I think healthier has a risk too,

671
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:30,920
Speaker 2: but yeah, but he was on the field.

672
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:32,799
Speaker 3: I mean, he stayed healthier than I think a lot

673
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:35,480
Speaker 3: of people thought he probably would based on his history

674
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:39,239
Speaker 3: plus given plus think about giving what's going on around him.

675
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:41,239
Speaker 3: Every you know, guys are out in and out of

676
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:43,839
Speaker 3: the lineup constantly, and he was really through the first

677
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:46,359
Speaker 3: thirteen weeks was all right.

678
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:48,320
Speaker 2: He was the guy that was there every week.

679
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:48,879
Speaker 1: Yep.

680
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:55,200
Speaker 2: So it's it's hard to make long term decisions on

681
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:58,800
Speaker 2: stuff that seems random until you think it's not random.

682
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's go to Jason up in Rhode Island. What

683
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 1: do you got for us?

684
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 9: Jason, Hey, Christmas, Steve.

685
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:09,279
Speaker 5: Good to be on with you. Being a Bill fan

686
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:11,839
Speaker 5: in RhE Island. I am what Steve used to call

687
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:15,040
Speaker 5: Pilgrim and holy land. I got to tell you, the

688
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:18,319
Speaker 5: Patriots fans have been allowed largely quiet last five years

689
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:19,879
Speaker 5: to come out of the woodwork, and it's a little

690
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 5: bit nauseating. But what I wanted to ask was would

691
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:27,759
Speaker 5: they waiver wire process? And I apologize if this has

692
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 5: already been covered. Is there anything that teams can do

693
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:36,920
Speaker 5: to protect themselves prior to claiming a player. That would be,

694
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:40,440
Speaker 5: you know, short of tampering obviously, or is there anything

695
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:43,719
Speaker 5: they can you know, any recourse they have after the process,

696
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:47,560
Speaker 5: because you know, JaMarcus Ingram wasn't exactly a back end

697
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:49,719
Speaker 5: of the roster kind of guy. He was a real

698
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:52,480
Speaker 5: contributor and now he's gone and they're down a player

699
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 5: at that position. So just wondering, you know, is that

700
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:58,480
Speaker 5: just the price of doing business or is there something

701
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:00,800
Speaker 5: that that the bills could have maybe done differently.

702
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:02,400
Speaker 2: No, it's a little.

703
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 3: Bit of the price of doing business. Jason, you got

704
00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:09,040
Speaker 3: a clear spot for a waiver claim, and the way

705
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 3: the waiver thing works, nobody knows who else puts a

706
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 3: claim in for twenty four hours. When when Slay goes

707
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 3: on the waiver wire, nobody knows who puts a bit.

708
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:19,480
Speaker 3: You put a bit in on him. They don't tell

709
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:22,680
Speaker 3: you who else did until after the fact, then you

710
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:23,359
Speaker 3: can find out.

711
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:26,080
Speaker 1: And you can't call him before to see if he

712
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:27,960
Speaker 1: would be cool with it, because that would be tampering.

713
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 1: Right even though he gets waived. I don't think you're

714
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:35,480
Speaker 1: allowed to contact him or his agent. I believe under

715
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:37,480
Speaker 1: the letter of the law. So there's no way to

716
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:40,800
Speaker 1: like preempt what we saw happen here.

717
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:43,880
Speaker 3: Now, there might have been the fairy if if you know,

718
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:46,200
Speaker 3: if the rumor going around and think, well he wanted

719
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:48,160
Speaker 3: to play, go back to Philly where he played and

720
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:50,359
Speaker 3: he won a super Bowl there, and you get kind

721
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 3: of get the player wanting to do that if something

722
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 3: the fairy has happened there where Philly said yeah, if

723
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:55,840
Speaker 3: you if they wave.

724
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:57,120
Speaker 2: You, we're gonna we're gonna pick you up.

725
00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 3: You know, So Slay I might have facilitated that departure

726
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:05,440
Speaker 3: from the Steelers. Yeah, knowing he had a soft landing

727
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:07,440
Speaker 3: in Philly. But then the Bills get in the way

728
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:10,880
Speaker 3: because nobody knows until it's over and it didn't work out,

729
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:13,879
Speaker 3: and he says, no, I'm out. Something like that could

730
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:16,040
Speaker 3: have happened, but we have no reason to think that

731
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:17,319
Speaker 3: it did. But I'm saying it could.

732
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, And JaMarcus Ingram was healthy and active for the

733
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:23,640
Speaker 1: last three weeks. I'm not trying to dismiss his value

734
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:25,719
Speaker 1: to the team. He was a guy that when he

735
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:28,640
Speaker 1: was up and playing, he was on special teams and

736
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:31,600
Speaker 1: performing there for them. And I know coach mcdermotdy even

737
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:33,319
Speaker 1: said it today in his press conference, has an awful

738
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:35,960
Speaker 1: lot of respect for JaMarcus Ingram and the path that

739
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:38,600
Speaker 1: he took to make the fifty three man roster this

740
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:42,000
Speaker 1: year after spending the last two seasons on the practice squad.

741
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 1: And thanks for that phone call. Also, by the way,

742
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:48,960
Speaker 1: because that call from Rhode Island, Steve now makes it

743
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 1: forty US states from which One Bills Live has taken

744
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:57,920
Speaker 1: Fode calls. We are national. There you go, forty states

745
00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:00,759
Speaker 1: now out of fifty. So thanks for that.

746
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:02,760
Speaker 2: Taking some international calls as well.

747
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 1: That's right.

748
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:06,160
Speaker 2: I took one from Ireland earlier in the year. Of

749
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:08,560
Speaker 2: all plays. We get Ryan from Toronto who calls us.

750
00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 1: That's right, healthy, healthy, and we got a Vancouver call

751
00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 1: every once in a while. So yeah, happy to take

752
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:16,480
Speaker 1: any and all. But thanks for that phone call. I

753
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:18,399
Speaker 1: think it was Tom, right, Tom that called from Rhode

754
00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:18,839
Speaker 1: Island or.

755
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:22,000
Speaker 2: No, Jason, Jason from Jason.

756
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 1: Thank you for that phone call. Made Rhode Island the

757
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:27,680
Speaker 1: fortieth state on the map that we can stick a

758
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:30,680
Speaker 1: pin in for One Bill's Live. Gotta take a break here,

759
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 1: more of your phone calls. When we get back, we'll

760
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 1: lead off with Aaron on a cell. When we return

761
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 1: here on one Bill's Live presented by Kalida Healthy, It's

762
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:53,240
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills Radio time. Now for a snap Dragon Apple

763
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:56,479
Speaker 1: lunch break. Sweet, salty, crunchy, the perfect bite. This snap

764
00:40:56,600 --> 00:41:01,719
Speaker 1: Dragon apple protein bark hits every game day. Rich chocolate,

765
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:07,400
Speaker 1: salty pretzels, gooey caramel, and crisp snapdragon apples. It's the

766
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:09,520
Speaker 1: kind of snack that keeps people circling back to the

767
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:13,040
Speaker 1: snack table between plays for your game day tailgate. Make

768
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:15,720
Speaker 1: it ahead of time, freeze it, break it into chunks,

769
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:18,720
Speaker 1: and you've got a crowd pleasing finger food that travels

770
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:23,440
Speaker 1: well and disappears fast. No utensils, no fuss, just past

771
00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:27,680
Speaker 1: the pan energy. The monster crunch of snapdragon apples stays

772
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:32,160
Speaker 1: crisp even when mixed into bark, making it a standout ingredient.

773
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:35,440
Speaker 1: Fans get a burst of fresh apple flavor in every bite.

774
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:38,640
Speaker 1: With a scoop of added protein powder, this dessert becomes

775
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:41,640
Speaker 1: a satisfying, energizing snack that helps keep everyone fuels from

776
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:46,680
Speaker 1: kickoff to the final whistle. Sweet enough for kids, elevated

Speaker 3: is good. Yeah, we'll say that it is good.

791
00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:28,799
Speaker 2: And you know, you can argue it's healthy. Make that

792
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:30,960
Speaker 2: apple chunks and you can always make that argument. I

793
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:32,000
Speaker 2: try and do that every time I.

794
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:36,040
Speaker 1: Have a Are you one of those people that say caramel?

795
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:37,880
Speaker 1: Or are you saying caramel caramel?

796
00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 2: Okay, what's the way I grew up?

797
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:44,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I get it. There are two ways in there.

798
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:49,560
Speaker 2: I know they don't care. My wife says carmel too. Yeah,

799
00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:54,240
Speaker 2: I say caramel caramel? Oh you fancy?

800
00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:57,360
Speaker 1: Huh either or I'm not fancy. I'm just pronouncing the

801
00:42:57,400 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 1: letters in the word.

802
00:42:58,120 --> 00:42:59,560
Speaker 3: If you're gonna pronounce the letters in the word, it

803
00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:05,000
Speaker 3: would be vehicle instead of vehicle. Well to bring back

804
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:05,879
Speaker 3: a blast.

805
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:09,920
Speaker 2: From the past. There you go, that's your blast.

806
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:15,040
Speaker 3: But that's yeah, caramel, caramel, caramel, caramel.

807
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:17,480
Speaker 1: We know either way, you know what we're talking about.

808
00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:22,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, well there's that's what language is all about, semantics

809
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:23,719
Speaker 3: being understood.

810
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:25,440
Speaker 2: There you go.

811
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 1: But this was this was tasty.

812
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:28,919
Speaker 2: It was good.

813
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:33,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, bark is kind of become like a Christmas time staple.

814
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:36,319
Speaker 1: So have you ever made that? Like you just lay

815
00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:40,160
Speaker 1: out the parchment paper and then you pour melted chocolate

816
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:43,200
Speaker 1: on it, put it in the fridge. But like people

817
00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:47,080
Speaker 1: throw peppermints crumble, like they mash up peppermints in a

818
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:49,120
Speaker 1: zip block bag and then spill that all in there.

819
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:52,840
Speaker 2: Do that with white chocolate. Now you're talking a little.

820
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:55,400
Speaker 1: White chocolate, so you know, and then you bash up

821
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:56,080
Speaker 1: the peppermints.

822
00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:59,080
Speaker 2: Throw those A great idea. Man, it's easy, I guess.

823
00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:00,520
Speaker 2: And then you just break it in. What am I saying?

824
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:01,800
Speaker 2: I don't breaking in pieces?

825
00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:05,560
Speaker 1: Throwing in as in Donzo, They just threw some apples

826
00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:08,240
Speaker 1: in here with some pretzel pieces and caramel.

827
00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:11,279
Speaker 2: They jazz it up a yes, Josh, yeah, it's got

828
00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:12,040
Speaker 2: some good stuff in it.

829
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:14,799
Speaker 1: Let's get back to the phones though here on this

830
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:18,240
Speaker 1: obl Fan Friday mail bag, and we go to Aaron

831
00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:20,960
Speaker 1: on a Celle as promised me pull him up here.

832
00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:21,560
Speaker 1: What's up Aaron?

833
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:24,759
Speaker 10: Hey, guys, Hey, thanks for taking my call. It's been

834
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:27,759
Speaker 10: a while since I talked to you guys. First off,

835
00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:31,120
Speaker 10: I wanted to say congrats on the movie. I signed

836
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:34,000
Speaker 10: up for the Hallmark Channel just to watch that Bill's movie.

837
00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:36,920
Speaker 2: All right, there you go, thank you, and.

838
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:40,400
Speaker 10: Quickly unsubscribed because it's not my cup of tea, but

839
00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:47,239
Speaker 10: because of the Bills, I subscribe. But yeah, it was

840
00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:50,120
Speaker 10: fun to see East Aurora and Barbille and all that

841
00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:54,080
Speaker 10: because I've been back and all those hot spots. But

842
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:57,480
Speaker 10: I wanted to talk about the game. What do you

843
00:44:57,480 --> 00:45:00,000
Speaker 10: guys think about doing like more of a dime defense

844
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:01,880
Speaker 10: and kind of daring him to run against this?

845
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:04,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, we talked about that.

846
00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:07,520
Speaker 3: I don't know if you'll well, I don't know if

847
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:09,480
Speaker 3: you can still stop the run and do that.

848
00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:12,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, it wouldn't.

849
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:16,160
Speaker 3: Be outlandish because they throw the football so well to

850
00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:17,680
Speaker 3: go out there and expect him to throw it and

851
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:21,000
Speaker 3: put your dime package out there. They've got a guy

852
00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:24,520
Speaker 3: that Bills fans know and Gisiki at tight end. Who's

853
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:27,319
Speaker 3: a you know, wide receiver type title D. He's like

854
00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:29,680
Speaker 3: six Yeah, he was a Miami Dolphin. He's a six

855
00:45:29,719 --> 00:45:32,240
Speaker 3: to seven guy. He's like a big, huge wide receiver.

856
00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:35,040
Speaker 3: And you put him with Higgins and Chase out there,

857
00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:42,560
Speaker 3: they're a problem. And of course Joe Burrow is borders

858
00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:45,200
Speaker 3: on genius in his ability to read the red defenses

859
00:45:45,239 --> 00:45:46,400
Speaker 3: and put the ball on the right spot.

860
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:49,359
Speaker 1: So yeah, but I wouldn't sleep on Chase Brown. They're

861
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:52,640
Speaker 1: running back. He is a home run threat. And while

862
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:55,239
Speaker 1: he's not a guy like Cook who runs for one

863
00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:57,839
Speaker 1: hundred every week, if you look at the stat sheet,

864
00:45:57,840 --> 00:45:58,120
Speaker 1: he's got.

865
00:45:58,080 --> 00:45:59,719
Speaker 2: One hundred yards from scrimmage every week.

866
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:02,799
Speaker 1: It's happened six times and it happened again last week

867
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:05,400
Speaker 1: against the Ravens. So he might have seventy on the

868
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:07,600
Speaker 1: ground and he'll have forty to fifty through the air.

869
00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:13,759
Speaker 1: So he's a dual threat. So he can run the ball.

870
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:16,120
Speaker 1: He's not a huge tackle breaker, but if you give

871
00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:18,560
Speaker 1: him a crease, he could end up in the end zone.

872
00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:22,440
Speaker 1: So daring him to throw, yeah, or daring him to run, yes,

873
00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:24,640
Speaker 1: But just be mindful. You better be on your p's

874
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:27,520
Speaker 1: and q's tackling wise, which they were last week. Now,

875
00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:28,720
Speaker 1: let's hope they can do it again.

876
00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:29,080
Speaker 2: Yeah.

877
00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:32,120
Speaker 3: That last week was a great reminder of just how

878
00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:34,080
Speaker 3: basic it sounds, but how true it is. If you

879
00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:35,880
Speaker 3: tackle well, you're gonna have a pretty good defense.

880
00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:39,759
Speaker 1: And they did that this week. Theyt We had Shack

881
00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:43,880
Speaker 1: Thompson here in studio with us earlier this week on Wednesday,

882
00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:47,239
Speaker 1: and he basically I said, what do you gotta do now?

883
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:48,799
Speaker 1: He said, prove it wasn't a one off.

884
00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:49,960
Speaker 2: We got a show.

885
00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:53,040
Speaker 1: We can do it again. Yeah, so hopefully they're just

886
00:46:53,080 --> 00:46:57,520
Speaker 1: as motivated and just as effective on Sunday against the Bengals.

887
00:46:57,760 --> 00:47:01,080
Speaker 1: Gonna step aside and take a break here. But our

888
00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:04,399
Speaker 1: number two begins with who else but our good friend

889
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:07,920
Speaker 1: Greg Cosel, senior producer from NFL Films. Gonna talk some

890
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:10,920
Speaker 1: x's and o's with him about the Bills and Bengals

891
00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:13,120
Speaker 1: when we get back here on One Bill's Live presented

892

Speaker 1: by Colida Health. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. This this One

893
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:57,919
Speaker 1: Bills Live presented by Kalida Health. All Right, our number

894
00:47:57,920 --> 00:47:59,920
Speaker 1: two on a Friday, Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you

895
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:01,920
Speaker 1: here on One Bill's Live and join now by a

896
00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:04,680
Speaker 1: senior producer from NFL Films, Greg co Cell, who's weekly

897
00:48:04,760 --> 00:48:09,520
Speaker 1: appearance on One Bill's Live is presented by Pepsi. Pepsi

898
00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:15,440
Speaker 1: is the official soft drink of the Buffalo Bill's Food Deserves. Pepsi.

899
00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:20,000
Speaker 1: All right, Greg, So Bill's Bengals here, and on paper,

900
00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:25,640
Speaker 1: Cincinnati's defense looks horrendous. I realize they've made some slight

901
00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:29,280
Speaker 1: improvements in a couple of areas. Where would you feel

902
00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:32,959
Speaker 1: they have made the most improvement on the defensive side

903
00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:33,440
Speaker 1: of the ball?

904
00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:34,120
Speaker 2: Of late?

905
00:48:36,640 --> 00:48:39,600
Speaker 11: Again, putting aside numbers, because you know, obviously, if you

906
00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:42,160
Speaker 11: just look at numbers, you're not going to necessarily feel

907
00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:46,120
Speaker 11: that they are a good defense. But I think you

908
00:48:46,120 --> 00:48:50,200
Speaker 11: know they've obviously made major changes at the linebacker position.

909
00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:54,520
Speaker 11: They traded Logan Wilson, so now they play Barrett Carter,

910
00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:57,440
Speaker 11: a rookie fourth round pick from Clemson. He basically is

911
00:48:57,560 --> 00:49:01,319
Speaker 11: their number one linebacker. He plays every snap and he

912
00:49:01,440 --> 00:49:04,319
Speaker 11: does show up on film. He's he plays like he

913
00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:08,600
Speaker 11: did in college. He's quick, he's sudden, he's he's one

914
00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:13,040
Speaker 11: of those, you know, smaller, faster linebackers. The other linebacker

915
00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:15,400
Speaker 11: who plays a lot is also a rookie, the second

916
00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:19,720
Speaker 11: round pick, Demetrius Knight from South Carolina. He's been playing

917
00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:23,040
Speaker 11: most of the season. He's a good player, So you know,

918
00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:27,640
Speaker 11: I think they're better at the linebacker position. You know,

919
00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:31,239
Speaker 11: it's it's the question is up front. Obviously Hendrickson has

920
00:49:31,239 --> 00:49:33,520
Speaker 11: not played for a good part of the season now,

921
00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:37,759
Speaker 11: so you know, up front they've been playing. Aside, they've

922
00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:40,080
Speaker 11: been playing Miles Murphy who was a first round pick

923
00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:43,080
Speaker 11: a few years ago, who's never quite become what they

924
00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:46,839
Speaker 11: hoped he'd become. Where they have always struggled. And I

925
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:49,759
Speaker 11: still think they're beatable. But this is a discussion we

926
00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:52,520
Speaker 11: can get into because who knows what what the Bills

927
00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:56,000
Speaker 11: are going to do offensively. I think they struggle on

928
00:49:56,040 --> 00:49:58,839
Speaker 11: the back end. I think that's the weakness in their

929
00:49:58,880 --> 00:50:03,200
Speaker 11: defense is on the back end. But the Bills, and

930
00:50:03,280 --> 00:50:08,120
Speaker 11: I'd love your guys opinion, you're there. Is it the receivers,

931
00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:10,520
Speaker 11: because they play now as if they want to hide

932
00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:13,520
Speaker 11: the quarterback, and they've got the most physically gifted quarterback

933
00:50:13,560 --> 00:50:15,560
Speaker 11: in the league, and they play almost as if they

934
00:50:15,600 --> 00:50:17,919
Speaker 11: want to hide the quarterback. And then maybe in those

935
00:50:17,920 --> 00:50:20,279
Speaker 11: two or three times where gee, the quarterback has to

936
00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:22,360
Speaker 11: do something, hope that he can do something.

937
00:50:23,200 --> 00:50:25,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think they're trying to figure out different They

938
00:50:25,840 --> 00:50:28,520
Speaker 3: figure they can depend on Josh, so they want to

939
00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:30,400
Speaker 3: beat They want to figure out if they can prove

940
00:50:30,560 --> 00:50:34,600
Speaker 3: or try to beat teams other ways and try and

941
00:50:34,880 --> 00:50:37,840
Speaker 3: develop that for a postseason when you think Josh is

942
00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:40,040
Speaker 3: gonna be fine if you particularly if you protect him

943
00:50:40,040 --> 00:50:43,560
Speaker 3: like they have by protecting I mean like the cold

944
00:50:43,640 --> 00:50:45,440
Speaker 3: runs and you know, getting the ball out of his

945
00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:47,680
Speaker 3: hands and running the football, that kind of thing. And

946
00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:51,800
Speaker 3: I think, but I agree with you, they have asked

947
00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:55,200
Speaker 3: less of Josh this year. Certainly James Cook has proven

948
00:50:55,440 --> 00:50:59,560
Speaker 3: worthy of that, and the offensive line has played extremely well.

949
00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:01,520
Speaker 3: But I think, right Greg, I think they're trying to

950
00:51:01,560 --> 00:51:04,120
Speaker 3: find different recipes for winning games so that when they

951
00:51:04,120 --> 00:51:05,680
Speaker 3: get into a tussle with a team they got to

952
00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:08,719
Speaker 3: beat left handed, their left hand is pretty good.

953
00:51:10,280 --> 00:51:13,480
Speaker 11: Yeah, And because you know, look, obviously last week's game,

954
00:51:13,560 --> 00:51:16,319
Speaker 11: the score ended up making it seem like they won

955
00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:19,520
Speaker 11: fairly easily, but they had three points in the first half.

956
00:51:19,680 --> 00:51:22,520
Speaker 11: You can't count on the Bosa play, you know, the touchdown,

957
00:51:22,560 --> 00:51:25,080
Speaker 11: then they got the interception. These are things, you know, Look,

958
00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:27,120
Speaker 11: you hope they happen. But you can't go into a

959
00:51:27,160 --> 00:51:29,880
Speaker 11: game saying that's going to happen. You know, their offense

960
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:32,600
Speaker 11: is still for me anyway. And maybe I'm you know,

961
00:51:32,640 --> 00:51:35,520
Speaker 11: I'm old school and I've always felt Josh Allen was

962
00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:38,960
Speaker 11: a great player. But I feel like there isn't really

963
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:42,719
Speaker 11: a consistent pass game week to week that maybe it's

964
00:51:42,719 --> 00:51:45,880
Speaker 11: the receivers. Like I said, I think they don't feel yeah,

965
00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:48,000
Speaker 11: And look, they're not going to come out and say, gee,

966
00:51:48,040 --> 00:51:50,040
Speaker 11: we don't like our receivers. No team's gonna come out

967
00:51:50,080 --> 00:51:52,360
Speaker 11: and say that. But the end of the day, every coach,

968
00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:55,239
Speaker 11: as you guys know, coach to what they believe the

969
00:51:55,280 --> 00:51:58,080
Speaker 11: strengths and weaknesses of their offense are right.

970
00:51:58,280 --> 00:52:02,920
Speaker 1: And I think to the point, it's a player availability

971
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:07,080
Speaker 1: problem too. Kinkaid has been out since Kinkaid has been

972
00:52:07,120 --> 00:52:11,800
Speaker 1: out since Week ten, and Josh is a significantly higher

973
00:52:11,840 --> 00:52:17,320
Speaker 1: efficiency passer with Kincaid on the field. Palmer is out

974
00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:21,880
Speaker 1: and he's doubtful for this game again. Palmer and Kinkaid

975
00:52:22,040 --> 00:52:24,279
Speaker 1: were to be two of the top three pieces in

976
00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:27,560
Speaker 1: the passing game. When you don't have those, I think

977
00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:32,040
Speaker 1: the offensive staff, the offensive staff immediately pivots, especially when

978
00:52:32,080 --> 00:52:34,239
Speaker 1: you have the number one running game in football, not

979
00:52:34,360 --> 00:52:36,120
Speaker 1: to mention the fact that you know, they didn't have

980
00:52:36,160 --> 00:52:38,680
Speaker 1: either of their starting tackles last week, so if there

981
00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:40,600
Speaker 1: was a week to hide, Joshua was last week, so

982
00:52:40,600 --> 00:52:42,799
Speaker 1: he didn't get killed, right.

983
00:52:42,840 --> 00:52:45,000
Speaker 11: Well, you know, it's funny, and I think we have

984
00:52:45,080 --> 00:52:48,200
Speaker 11: to talk about the run game because I was fascinated.

985
00:52:48,200 --> 00:52:51,360
Speaker 11: And my guess is Aaron Kromer's probably responsible for the

986
00:52:51,400 --> 00:52:53,400
Speaker 11: run game. You know, Joe Brady might call the plays

987
00:52:53,480 --> 00:52:56,160
Speaker 11: during the game, but I'm pretty sure Aaron Kromer would

988
00:52:56,160 --> 00:52:58,239
Speaker 11: be the one that designs the run game. You know,

989
00:52:58,280 --> 00:53:00,560
Speaker 11: he's been in this league almost twenty five years. He's

990
00:53:00,560 --> 00:53:02,760
Speaker 11: one of the best there is as an O line coach.

991
00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:05,759
Speaker 11: You know what fascinated me, guys for weeks we talked

992
00:53:05,760 --> 00:53:08,040
Speaker 11: about There was a stretch of three four weeks where

993
00:53:08,040 --> 00:53:10,560
Speaker 11: all it seemed that we spoke about was that counter

994
00:53:10,640 --> 00:53:12,840
Speaker 11: gap run where Gillian would be in the game and

995
00:53:12,920 --> 00:53:15,200
Speaker 11: Hawes would be the motion guy and he'd be the

996
00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:18,160
Speaker 11: kickout block and Gillian would be the rapper. And then

997
00:53:18,280 --> 00:53:21,920
Speaker 11: this past week there were forty one rushes, thirty two

998
00:53:22,040 --> 00:53:25,640
Speaker 11: by Cook and nine by Ray Davis. Okay, they did

999
00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:29,080
Speaker 11: not pull an offensive lineman one time on those forty

1000
00:53:29,120 --> 00:53:32,200
Speaker 11: one rushes because I charted it. I started watching the game,

1001
00:53:32,239 --> 00:53:35,879
Speaker 11: and I'm thinking, where's the polls, where's the run that's

1002
00:53:35,920 --> 00:53:38,360
Speaker 11: been kind of a staple for you know, four or

1003
00:53:38,440 --> 00:53:41,840
Speaker 11: five weeks. They didn't pull an offensive lineman one time

1004
00:53:41,920 --> 00:53:43,080
Speaker 11: on those forty one runs.

1005
00:53:43,160 --> 00:53:46,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, they wanted to keep it easy and simple.

1006
00:53:46,440 --> 00:53:46,640
Speaker 7: Yep.

1007
00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:50,120
Speaker 1: For their offensive tackles. I mean, Alec Anderson hadn't started

1008
00:53:50,160 --> 00:53:53,239
Speaker 1: an offensive tackle since he was at UCLA four years ago.

1009
00:53:54,440 --> 00:53:59,640
Speaker 1: Van der Mark started. I think he's a quality swing tackle,

1010
00:54:00,239 --> 00:54:02,600
Speaker 1: but I don't think he's the same athlete that Spencer

1011
00:54:02,600 --> 00:54:05,080
Speaker 1: Brown or Dion Dawkins are. No offense to him, So

1012
00:54:05,520 --> 00:54:08,359
Speaker 1: I think that they wanted to keep it simple, and

1013
00:54:08,440 --> 00:54:11,440
Speaker 1: I think they weren't quite certain, you know what they

1014
00:54:11,480 --> 00:54:14,560
Speaker 1: could get consistently out of those guys, so they pivoted

1015
00:54:14,600 --> 00:54:16,200
Speaker 1: to duo and ran that to death.

1016
00:54:16,440 --> 00:54:17,760
Speaker 9: Yeah.

1017
00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:20,640
Speaker 11: Also there was obviously some zone you know, yes to

1018
00:54:20,719 --> 00:54:25,160
Speaker 11: me yby one of the even on runs that were

1019
00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:28,680
Speaker 11: not necessarily dueo but more traditional zone. I thought they

1020
00:54:28,680 --> 00:54:31,200
Speaker 11: did a really really good job with the old line

1021
00:54:31,239 --> 00:54:33,959
Speaker 11: on two blocks that are essential in the zone run game,

1022
00:54:34,239 --> 00:54:36,840
Speaker 11: and that's the front side reach block and the backside

1023
00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:40,040
Speaker 11: cutoff block. If you can't do those blocks, you can't

1024
00:54:40,080 --> 00:54:42,680
Speaker 11: really have an effective zone run game. And I thought

1025
00:54:42,680 --> 00:54:46,800
Speaker 11: that when asked, the old line executed those really, really well.

1026
00:54:47,400 --> 00:54:50,600
Speaker 3: One of the things about this offense and Brownie's right,

1027
00:54:50,760 --> 00:54:52,839
Speaker 3: when when they've got all their guys, and we've made

1028
00:54:52,840 --> 00:54:55,239
Speaker 3: the point numerous times, they're okay when they've got all

1029
00:54:55,280 --> 00:54:57,600
Speaker 3: their guys, but when they don't. I mean, the offense

1030
00:54:57,640 --> 00:55:00,879
Speaker 3: only scored nineteen points against that Pittsburgh team they got

1031
00:55:00,880 --> 00:55:06,040
Speaker 3: the pick six. So that's one thing that Josh and

1032
00:55:06,080 --> 00:55:08,040
Speaker 3: this offense have always been able to do is find

1033
00:55:08,040 --> 00:55:12,200
Speaker 3: a way to score points. And if that dries up,

1034
00:55:12,280 --> 00:55:15,040
Speaker 3: I think they've got bigger problems. But if you look

1035
00:55:15,080 --> 00:55:17,680
Speaker 3: back in the last two games, nineteen points against Pittsburgh,

1036
00:55:18,120 --> 00:55:21,200
Speaker 3: nineteen points in a loss against Houston. But then you

1037
00:55:21,239 --> 00:55:23,120
Speaker 3: get to the Tampa Bay game, they lit them up

1038
00:55:23,120 --> 00:55:26,960
Speaker 3: for forty. They only scored thirteen against Miami and that

1039
00:55:27,080 --> 00:55:29,440
Speaker 3: bad game they had. So there's been with the exception

1040
00:55:29,480 --> 00:55:32,360
Speaker 3: of the Tampa Bay game, the points have started to

1041
00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:34,040
Speaker 3: dry up a little bit in the last month.

1042
00:55:35,080 --> 00:55:37,520
Speaker 11: Yeah, they have, And that's why I mentioned the passing game,

1043
00:55:37,560 --> 00:55:40,760
Speaker 11: and I know, look, the reality is it's the NFL. Steve,

1044
00:55:40,840 --> 00:55:42,640
Speaker 11: you can speak to this way better than I. Guys

1045
00:55:42,640 --> 00:55:45,399
Speaker 11: get hurt, you still got to go out and play. Now,

1046
00:55:45,880 --> 00:55:47,799
Speaker 11: you go out and play with what you haven't and

1047
00:55:47,840 --> 00:55:50,279
Speaker 11: the best way you can can play a complete game.

1048
00:55:50,360 --> 00:55:52,920
Speaker 11: In other words, it's not just an offense. It's obviously

1049
00:55:52,920 --> 00:55:55,160
Speaker 11: a defense as well. But I know bos will be

1050
00:55:55,200 --> 00:55:57,880
Speaker 11: out this week against a quarterback that you know is

1051
00:55:57,920 --> 00:56:00,760
Speaker 11: really good, and te Higgins's back, so they've got weapons.

1052
00:56:01,600 --> 00:56:03,640
Speaker 11: So we don't know how this game will play out.

1053
00:56:03,640 --> 00:56:05,319
Speaker 11: I'm not you know, I'm not a predictor. I'm not

1054
00:56:05,360 --> 00:56:08,319
Speaker 11: a prognosticator. That's not my thing. But you would look

1055
00:56:08,360 --> 00:56:11,600
Speaker 11: at this game and think that they would likely have

1056
00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:13,759
Speaker 11: to score some points. I mean, I don't think any

1057
00:56:13,800 --> 00:56:15,960
Speaker 11: of you would likely see this game unless weather it

1058
00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:18,400
Speaker 11: becomes a huge issue where it's it's going to be

1059
00:56:18,400 --> 00:56:20,359
Speaker 11: a thirteen to ten game, right. I mean, I think

1060
00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:23,319
Speaker 11: in this game, you probably believe you got to at

1061
00:56:23,400 --> 00:56:25,080
Speaker 11: least get into the twenties, wouldn't you think?

1062
00:56:25,320 --> 00:56:25,520
Speaker 2: Yes?

1063
00:56:25,800 --> 00:56:29,160
Speaker 1: And I'll say this to Steve's point, the last time

1064
00:56:29,160 --> 00:56:31,600
Speaker 1: the Bills put big time points on the board, it

1065
00:56:31,680 --> 00:56:33,719
Speaker 1: was against a team that struggles to get heat on

1066
00:56:33,719 --> 00:56:37,239
Speaker 1: the quarterback. Tampa Bay Cincinnati has the same problem, So

1067
00:56:37,320 --> 00:56:39,920
Speaker 1: I think there will be instances where Josh will have

1068
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:43,719
Speaker 1: opportunities to throw the ball, which leads me to my

1069
00:56:43,760 --> 00:56:46,520
Speaker 1: next question for you, Greg. You know, this will only

1070
00:56:46,560 --> 00:56:50,239
Speaker 1: be Brandon Cook's second game in a Bill's uniform was

1071
00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:54,680
Speaker 1: utilized last week, albeit sparingly understandably so. And it's a

1072
00:56:54,719 --> 00:56:57,120
Speaker 1: guy that's probably going into every week just trying to

1073
00:56:57,160 --> 00:57:00,000
Speaker 1: know the game plan, not trying to learn the playbook,

1074
00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:02,279
Speaker 1: being a late arrival. But what do you think is

1075
00:57:02,360 --> 00:57:06,320
Speaker 1: realistic to expect from him? Knowing Palmer's out of the equation,

1076
00:57:06,440 --> 00:57:08,560
Speaker 1: and so too is Kincaid, and they may want to

1077
00:57:08,640 --> 00:57:10,479
Speaker 1: lean on a veteran like him a little bit more.

1078
00:57:11,680 --> 00:57:15,040
Speaker 11: And I think that there's basic routes, Steve, You know this,

1079
00:57:15,200 --> 00:57:18,360
Speaker 11: there's basic routes that you can run, that any receiver

1080
00:57:18,440 --> 00:57:20,640
Speaker 11: can run, that are part of any offense. I mean,

1081
00:57:20,800 --> 00:57:22,240
Speaker 11: you know, maybe you're not going to ask him to

1082
00:57:22,320 --> 00:57:25,680
Speaker 11: work in combination with other routes because that that might

1083
00:57:25,720 --> 00:57:29,160
Speaker 11: have specifics to it that are a little bit different than,

1084
00:57:31,040 --> 00:57:34,040
Speaker 11: you know, than normal. But I mean the first third

1085
00:57:34,040 --> 00:57:37,200
Speaker 11: and long, you know, Obviously he hit Cooks this week

1086
00:57:37,240 --> 00:57:40,200
Speaker 11: on the on the stop route outside the numbers for

1087
00:57:40,280 --> 00:57:44,360
Speaker 11: thirteen yards. I mean, you can run individual routes, isolation

1088
00:57:44,560 --> 00:57:47,840
Speaker 11: routes with any receiver. You know, they know those routes.

1089
00:57:48,240 --> 00:57:52,600
Speaker 11: So I think that if the game demands, I think

1090
00:57:52,600 --> 00:57:55,080
Speaker 11: that Cooks can become a factor. Now, having said that,

1091
00:57:55,480 --> 00:57:57,200
Speaker 11: I'm not saying he's going to get, you know, fourteen

1092
00:57:57,240 --> 00:57:59,440
Speaker 11: targets and go nine for one thirty. But I think

1093
00:57:59,480 --> 00:58:02,640
Speaker 11: there are that are pretty universal, Steve, when you agree

1094
00:58:02,640 --> 00:58:04,720
Speaker 11: that are pretty universal in every offense.

1095
00:58:04,480 --> 00:58:06,720
Speaker 3: Running the routes. Running the routes is the easy part.

1096
00:58:06,840 --> 00:58:10,480
Speaker 3: It's knowing, it's communicating that that's the route you want

1097
00:58:10,520 --> 00:58:13,360
Speaker 3: him to run, having him understand it, you know, and

1098
00:58:13,440 --> 00:58:15,240
Speaker 3: getting the play call without having to go out and

1099
00:58:15,280 --> 00:58:17,040
Speaker 3: just call out and say, hey, run the fifteen yard

1100
00:58:17,080 --> 00:58:21,280
Speaker 3: comeback right. So right, That's the problem is learning the

1101
00:58:21,280 --> 00:58:24,680
Speaker 3: words in the vocabulary, the routes and the physical part

1102
00:58:24,720 --> 00:58:24,960
Speaker 3: of it.

1103
00:58:26,320 --> 00:58:30,560
Speaker 2: You know, that's universal, right So, but sometimes.

1104
00:58:30,160 --> 00:58:32,160
Speaker 11: And you know that, Steve, you're probably in this situation

1105
00:58:32,240 --> 00:58:34,560
Speaker 11: with players that you know in Buffalo where sometimes you

1106
00:58:34,600 --> 00:58:36,400
Speaker 11: can call play in the huddle and then you can

1107
00:58:36,440 --> 00:58:38,240
Speaker 11: you know, just as the huddles breaking. You can say

1108
00:58:38,240 --> 00:58:41,360
Speaker 11: to you know, Cooks, Hey, Cooks, on that play call,

1109
00:58:41,480 --> 00:58:43,480
Speaker 11: you're running you know, a stop.

1110
00:58:43,320 --> 00:58:44,200
Speaker 9: Or whatever the route is.

1111
00:58:44,200 --> 00:58:46,080
Speaker 11: You just tell them what it is, you know, and

1112
00:58:46,120 --> 00:58:47,680
Speaker 11: he's gonna know how to run it because he's run

1113
00:58:47,760 --> 00:58:49,280
Speaker 11: it a thousand times in his career.

1114
00:58:49,640 --> 00:58:49,840
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1115
00:58:49,880 --> 00:58:52,120
Speaker 3: Then the problem becomes checking at the line of scrimmage

1116
00:58:52,120 --> 00:58:53,480
Speaker 3: and going to a different play and all.

1117
00:58:53,880 --> 00:58:56,640
Speaker 9: Yeah, and you do have all those other factors.

1118
00:58:56,680 --> 00:58:58,520
Speaker 11: I'm not saying it's easy, but I'm saying there are

1119
00:58:58,680 --> 00:59:01,040
Speaker 11: universal routes and I've believe that you know, he can

1120
00:59:01,080 --> 00:59:01,760
Speaker 11: run those, and.

1121
00:59:01,720 --> 00:59:04,280
Speaker 3: Certainly it's okay at this point, after he's been here

1122
00:59:04,320 --> 00:59:09,280
Speaker 3: now going on two weeks, there's been a ton of

1123
00:59:09,360 --> 00:59:12,840
Speaker 3: study and a ton of conversations that are getting him

1124
00:59:12,840 --> 00:59:15,960
Speaker 3: more and more comfortable both on the field and off

1125
00:59:15,960 --> 00:59:16,400
Speaker 3: the field.

1126
00:59:16,440 --> 00:59:18,040
Speaker 2: So yeah, that you can bet.

1127
00:59:17,840 --> 00:59:21,080
Speaker 3: That he will have a larger menu that he can

1128
00:59:21,160 --> 00:59:24,560
Speaker 3: go to than he did this last Sunday in Pittsburgh.

1129
00:59:24,680 --> 00:59:26,840
Speaker 11: I love too, what Brownie said. I'm very interested to

1130
00:59:26,880 --> 00:59:29,280
Speaker 11: see what the Bills approaches. Obviously they're gonna try to

1131
00:59:29,360 --> 00:59:30,800
Speaker 11: run the ball. I'm not saying they're gonna come out

1132
00:59:30,800 --> 00:59:33,000
Speaker 11: and you know, by choice drop back forty five times.

1133
00:59:33,360 --> 00:59:35,480
Speaker 11: But I thought Brownie's pointing about the past rush of

1134
00:59:35,520 --> 00:59:37,800
Speaker 11: the Bengals, which has really not been a factor much

1135
00:59:37,840 --> 00:59:41,040
Speaker 11: at all, you know, which has been kind of a

1136
00:59:41,080 --> 00:59:44,240
Speaker 11: flaw and weakness in their defense. It'll be interesting to

1137
00:59:44,240 --> 00:59:46,200
Speaker 11: see if they feel like they can take advantage of

1138
00:59:46,240 --> 00:59:49,400
Speaker 11: that now again, you know, they're a running football team.

1139
00:59:49,440 --> 00:59:51,840
Speaker 11: They're really good at it. They get Dawkins back this week,

1140
00:59:52,280 --> 00:59:54,200
Speaker 11: maybe that means you'll see a little more pulling. You know,

1141
00:59:54,240 --> 00:59:56,640
Speaker 11: we've seen that in the past. But you know there

1142
00:59:56,640 --> 00:59:58,720
Speaker 11: are going to be situations where you have to throw it.

1143
00:59:58,800 --> 01:00:01,080
Speaker 11: You are gonna want to throw it times by choice

1144
01:00:01,120 --> 01:00:04,320
Speaker 11: as well. You know, you'd love to see, uh, because

1145
01:00:04,320 --> 01:00:06,240
Speaker 11: they don't really throw the ball down the field and

1146
01:00:06,440 --> 01:00:09,160
Speaker 11: there could be many reasons for that, you know, and we.

1147
01:00:09,120 --> 01:00:09,919
Speaker 9: Don't know all of them.

1148
01:00:10,160 --> 01:00:12,520
Speaker 11: But you'd love to see maybe a shot play here

1149
01:00:12,600 --> 01:00:14,880
Speaker 11: or there, or the ball just be thrown a couple

1150
01:00:14,920 --> 01:00:17,320
Speaker 11: of times, you know, twenty plus yards and see if

1151
01:00:17,320 --> 01:00:19,880
Speaker 11: you can, you know, get get a few explosives.

1152
01:00:19,440 --> 01:00:23,560
Speaker 1: Right flipping it to the other side. No Bosa is

1153
01:00:23,640 --> 01:00:28,320
Speaker 1: obviously a loss for a pass rush that didn't have

1154
01:00:28,800 --> 01:00:32,560
Speaker 1: a lot of production to begin with. It is interesting though,

1155
01:00:33,080 --> 01:00:36,880
Speaker 1: that the Bills now have ten takeaways in their last

1156
01:00:36,920 --> 01:00:40,640
Speaker 1: six games after having only five in their first six.

1157
01:00:41,880 --> 01:00:46,000
Speaker 1: We've seen Tradevious White get put in coverage on tight

1158
01:00:46,160 --> 01:00:48,880
Speaker 1: ends and he's had a measure of effectiveness in that

1159
01:00:50,760 --> 01:00:53,720
Speaker 1: are We're I'm anticipating this, I'm curious, what do you

1160
01:00:53,760 --> 01:00:59,600
Speaker 1: think I'm anticipating Trudeavious White gets assigned GASICKI in obvious man.

1161
01:00:59,400 --> 01:01:01,160
Speaker 2: Coverage situation I'm talking about here.

1162
01:01:01,520 --> 01:01:03,919
Speaker 1: I think Benford's gonna follow Chase and then you put

1163
01:01:03,920 --> 01:01:07,560
Speaker 1: Harrison on Higgins and figure out the rest after that.

1164
01:01:09,240 --> 01:01:11,440
Speaker 1: What do you think about that? Knowing this is the

1165
01:01:11,440 --> 01:01:14,040
Speaker 1: first time that this Bengals crew has all those cats

1166
01:01:14,080 --> 01:01:16,280
Speaker 1: on the field since Week one or two.

1167
01:01:17,520 --> 01:01:19,840
Speaker 11: Well, the question becomes how much man versus how much

1168
01:01:19,920 --> 01:01:22,680
Speaker 11: zone we play? Obviously going to play some man, I mean,

1169
01:01:22,720 --> 01:01:25,600
Speaker 11: everybody has to play man somewhere along the line. But

1170
01:01:25,720 --> 01:01:30,480
Speaker 11: what foundationally will will be their approach. The one thing

1171
01:01:30,480 --> 01:01:32,520
Speaker 11: about Burrow, whether it is man or his own, once

1172
01:01:32,560 --> 01:01:34,920
Speaker 11: you go outside the numbers, you pretty much have to

1173
01:01:34,960 --> 01:01:37,320
Speaker 11: match up Brownie, as you know. And the one thing

1174
01:01:37,360 --> 01:01:40,000
Speaker 11: about Burrow is if he believes he has one on

1175
01:01:40,000 --> 01:01:41,880
Speaker 11: one on the outside and there's not going to be

1176
01:01:41,880 --> 01:01:44,160
Speaker 11: a safety that's going to be a factor over the top.

1177
01:01:44,680 --> 01:01:46,680
Speaker 11: He attacks the one on ones and he is not

1178
01:01:46,800 --> 01:01:50,000
Speaker 11: shy about it. And the issue there is those create

1179
01:01:50,080 --> 01:01:51,880
Speaker 11: big plays. I mean you saw that last week in

1180
01:01:51,880 --> 01:01:54,080
Speaker 11: his first game back, and he hit Chased for forty

1181
01:01:54,120 --> 01:01:54,720
Speaker 11: three yards.

1182
01:01:54,800 --> 01:01:55,520
Speaker 9: I mean, he's going to.

1183
01:01:55,560 --> 01:01:57,960
Speaker 11: Go and attack the one on ones, and you just

1184
01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:00,400
Speaker 11: can't give up those plays. I mean, maybe you give

1185
01:02:00,480 --> 01:02:03,320
Speaker 11: up one just because they're so good, but you've got

1186
01:02:03,320 --> 01:02:06,360
Speaker 11: to be really, really careful because he's he can hit

1187
01:02:06,400 --> 01:02:08,600
Speaker 11: those plays. And plus the one thing he's really good

1188
01:02:08,600 --> 01:02:10,760
Speaker 11: at and this, to me is a great chess match

1189
01:02:10,840 --> 01:02:13,480
Speaker 11: game because I think one of the things Sean McDermott's

1190
01:02:13,520 --> 01:02:15,960
Speaker 11: been really good at over the years is I think

1191
01:02:15,960 --> 01:02:19,200
Speaker 11: he's really good at changing the picture pre snapped to

1192
01:02:19,320 --> 01:02:23,880
Speaker 11: post snap, and Burrow is so good at just seeing that.

1193
01:02:24,000 --> 01:02:26,720
Speaker 11: He's like a computer chip like that, and that to

1194
01:02:26,760 --> 01:02:29,560
Speaker 11: me is a major chess match in this game, because

1195
01:02:30,040 --> 01:02:32,400
Speaker 11: you know, Sean McDermott's been a master at that for years.

1196
01:02:32,400 --> 01:02:34,920
Speaker 11: When I've talked to offensive coaches, that's one of the

1197
01:02:34,920 --> 01:02:37,120
Speaker 11: first things they say about Sean. When I asked him

1198
01:02:37,160 --> 01:02:39,800
Speaker 11: about Buffalo's defense is that he's so good at that

1199
01:02:40,200 --> 01:02:42,800
Speaker 11: just changing the picture that what you see it right

1200
01:02:42,840 --> 01:02:44,760
Speaker 11: away is not what you're going to get. And it's

1201
01:02:44,840 --> 01:02:48,200
Speaker 11: more subtle than it is dramatic, you know. But Burrow

1202
01:02:48,480 --> 01:02:51,400
Speaker 11: has been really good at that. That's one of his superpowers.

1203
01:02:51,800 --> 01:02:55,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, and the Bills, we talked about Cincinnat's pass rush

1204
01:02:55,560 --> 01:02:57,680
Speaker 3: not being a factor, the Bill's pass rush, particularly now

1205
01:02:57,680 --> 01:03:00,720
Speaker 3: with Bosa not being able to go this week. Yeah,

1206
01:03:00,880 --> 01:03:03,760
Speaker 3: it's kind of do you do you think the Bills?

1207
01:03:04,320 --> 01:03:05,760
Speaker 3: You know, is this one of those games where you

1208
01:03:05,800 --> 01:03:08,480
Speaker 3: kind of rush three, drop eight and double team the

1209
01:03:08,480 --> 01:03:11,000
Speaker 3: top guys, you know, all the way across the board.

1210
01:03:11,560 --> 01:03:13,600
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's you know what I mean, great question.

1211
01:03:13,760 --> 01:03:17,800
Speaker 11: I mean, you know, because obviously the normal thought would be, hey,

1212
01:03:17,800 --> 01:03:19,680
Speaker 11: you got a pressure Burrow and they can play faster.

1213
01:03:20,120 --> 01:03:22,640
Speaker 11: But if you don't feel like you have those guys,

1214
01:03:23,320 --> 01:03:25,760
Speaker 11: you probably don't really want to blitz. They're not a heavy,

1215
01:03:25,960 --> 01:03:29,560
Speaker 11: high percentage blitzing team. Now, let me ask you a question.

1216
01:03:29,680 --> 01:03:30,919
Speaker 11: Is Bernard playing this week?

1217
01:03:31,000 --> 01:03:31,240
Speaker 2: Nope?

1218
01:03:31,440 --> 01:03:35,760
Speaker 11: No, No, so he's out again. Okay, so it's gonna

1219
01:03:35,760 --> 01:03:37,720
Speaker 11: be the same group. You know that, boy, I'll tell

1220
01:03:37,760 --> 01:03:39,640
Speaker 11: you what picking up Shaq Thompson turned out to be

1221
01:03:39,680 --> 01:03:41,640
Speaker 11: a godsend, wasn't it. I mean, that guy has played

1222
01:03:41,680 --> 01:03:44,440
Speaker 11: great football. Looks like he did he did when he

1223
01:03:44,480 --> 01:03:45,920
Speaker 11: was twenty three years old and he was, you know,

1224
01:03:45,960 --> 01:03:49,800
Speaker 11: one of the best athletes in the league. But you know,

1225
01:03:49,960 --> 01:03:53,080
Speaker 11: so they're not really a high percentage blitzing team. It's

1226
01:03:53,120 --> 01:03:55,680
Speaker 11: a great point, Steve. You know, what do you do

1227
01:03:55,800 --> 01:03:58,800
Speaker 11: in those sort of must pass situations where you know,

1228
01:03:58,800 --> 01:04:01,040
Speaker 11: if you don't feel like you can really get there

1229
01:04:01,080 --> 01:04:02,800
Speaker 11: with four? And Burrow is the kind of guy that

1230
01:04:02,840 --> 01:04:06,960
Speaker 11: you know, he normally sees it. Well do you think

1231
01:04:07,000 --> 01:04:10,040
Speaker 11: in terms of clogging you know, windows? And you know,

1232
01:04:10,840 --> 01:04:13,480
Speaker 11: it's a great that's another part of the chess match

1233
01:04:13,520 --> 01:04:15,919
Speaker 11: in this game. You know, I don't know, it's it's hey,

1234
01:04:15,920 --> 01:04:17,680
Speaker 11: that's why those guys get paid the big bucks and

1235
01:04:17,680 --> 01:04:18,640
Speaker 11: we're sitting here chatting.

1236
01:04:18,680 --> 01:04:21,040
Speaker 2: That's right, And that's what we talked about.

1237
01:04:21,040 --> 01:04:24,160
Speaker 3: It's going to be a really interesting matchup on both

1238
01:04:24,200 --> 01:04:26,760
Speaker 3: sides of this. You feel like Buffalo both offenses have

1239
01:04:26,840 --> 01:04:31,520
Speaker 3: an advantage, but they also have trying to play complimentary

1240
01:04:31,520 --> 01:04:35,840
Speaker 3: football win the game. And yeah, Cincinnati has the engine

1241
01:04:35,840 --> 01:04:37,280
Speaker 3: that they could you know, put it the floor and

1242
01:04:37,360 --> 01:04:39,000
Speaker 3: go two hundred miles an hour and you got to

1243
01:04:39,040 --> 01:04:39,680
Speaker 3: keep up with them.

1244
01:04:39,880 --> 01:04:40,960
Speaker 9: Yeah.

1245
01:04:41,080 --> 01:04:43,400
Speaker 11: I mean, look, Burrow is the kind of guy that

1246
01:04:43,520 --> 01:04:45,439
Speaker 11: any given a week, if he's really on his game,

1247
01:04:45,560 --> 01:04:47,560
Speaker 11: and you know, granted it's only his second game back,

1248
01:04:47,600 --> 01:04:49,640
Speaker 11: but he's Burrow where he could be great.

1249
01:04:49,440 --> 01:04:50,440
Speaker 9: Against any defense.

1250
01:04:50,720 --> 01:04:53,760
Speaker 11: And you know, who knows how the game will play out,

1251
01:04:53,840 --> 01:04:56,840
Speaker 11: you know, but you know, as we said, it's not

1252
01:04:56,960 --> 01:04:59,360
Speaker 11: likely to be a low scoring game unless weather really

1253
01:04:59,440 --> 01:05:01,720
Speaker 11: dictates it change and the way teams you know, have

1254
01:05:01,800 --> 01:05:02,240
Speaker 11: to play.

1255
01:05:02,520 --> 01:05:02,840
Speaker 2: Well.

1256
01:05:02,920 --> 01:05:04,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, right now, it looks like it's going to get

1257
01:05:04,640 --> 01:05:07,960
Speaker 3: one to three inches on Sunday during the day, so

1258
01:05:08,000 --> 01:05:10,720
Speaker 3: it's it's gonna look a lot like the playoff game

1259
01:05:10,840 --> 01:05:14,840
Speaker 3: weatherwise here two years ago, where it was snowing during

1260
01:05:14,840 --> 01:05:15,240
Speaker 3: the game.

1261
01:05:17,360 --> 01:05:21,920
Speaker 1: What Greg, can you say about the high mistackle percentage

1262
01:05:21,920 --> 01:05:25,120
Speaker 1: of this Bengals defense. It's among the highest in the

1263
01:05:25,200 --> 01:05:27,720
Speaker 1: league according to some of the next Gen stats. It

1264
01:05:27,720 --> 01:05:30,120
Speaker 1: looks like both of the safeties have high numbers in

1265
01:05:30,160 --> 01:05:34,520
Speaker 1: that area, so does Demetrius Knight, the linebacker you mentioned earlier.

1266
01:05:35,320 --> 01:05:38,480
Speaker 1: It looks like they've given up over nine hundred additional

1267
01:05:38,560 --> 01:05:42,720
Speaker 1: yards according to the metrics because of mistackles. Defensively. Do

1268
01:05:42,760 --> 01:05:44,680
Speaker 1: you still see that as an issue that crops up

1269
01:05:44,680 --> 01:05:45,360
Speaker 1: on the tape?

1270
01:05:46,400 --> 01:05:49,200
Speaker 11: Yeah, it does. And you know, Battle to me is uh.

1271
01:05:49,880 --> 01:05:52,360
Speaker 11: I don't want to call him a liability necessarily, but

1272
01:05:52,440 --> 01:05:54,760
Speaker 11: he's not a great athlete. He's almost more like a

1273
01:05:54,760 --> 01:05:57,920
Speaker 11: linebacker type player, and I think he's a guy you

1274
01:05:57,960 --> 01:06:02,320
Speaker 11: can go after, you know, inultiple ways. You know, he's

1275
01:06:02,360 --> 01:06:04,400
Speaker 11: not a great tackler in space because he's just not

1276
01:06:04,480 --> 01:06:07,120
Speaker 11: a really good athlete and you can really go after

1277
01:06:07,160 --> 01:06:09,920
Speaker 11: him in my view and coverage. Stone to me is

1278
01:06:10,000 --> 01:06:13,320
Speaker 11: really more of a back end player who's not a

1279
01:06:13,560 --> 01:06:15,640
Speaker 11: top back end player. But that's what he is, you

1280
01:06:15,640 --> 01:06:17,360
Speaker 11: know what I mean. I mean that's who he is.

1281
01:06:17,440 --> 01:06:19,960
Speaker 11: He's a back end safety, but he's not great at it.

1282
01:06:20,280 --> 01:06:23,640
Speaker 11: So you know, that's why I mentioned their secondary and

1283
01:06:23,720 --> 01:06:25,880
Speaker 11: all year long, they've been trying to mix and match.

1284
01:06:26,120 --> 01:06:29,560
Speaker 11: They've basically made Dax Hill. You know, he's an outside corner.

1285
01:06:29,600 --> 01:06:33,440
Speaker 11: Now we'll move inside in their sub packages, but they

1286
01:06:33,720 --> 01:06:38,000
Speaker 11: essentially made him an outside corner. And he's probably the

1287
01:06:38,000 --> 01:06:41,960
Speaker 11: best athlete of their corners. But you know, it's their

1288
01:06:42,000 --> 01:06:45,040
Speaker 11: back end is beatable, Brownie. And that's why I started

1289
01:06:45,080 --> 01:06:48,440
Speaker 11: by saying I'm really curious to see how they approach

1290
01:06:48,560 --> 01:06:51,120
Speaker 11: this because I think there's going to be opportunities to

1291
01:06:51,160 --> 01:06:52,240
Speaker 11: throw the ball in this game.

1292
01:06:53,160 --> 01:06:56,400
Speaker 1: I would expect it. I think it's going to mirror

1293
01:06:56,520 --> 01:06:59,960
Speaker 1: something similar to what we saw against Tampa Bay. I mean,

1294
01:07:00,440 --> 01:07:02,560
Speaker 1: sure they'll try to run the ball, but if they

1295
01:07:02,560 --> 01:07:04,880
Speaker 1: see opportunities, I think they're going to try to take

1296
01:07:04,880 --> 01:07:07,800
Speaker 1: advantage of them, mainly because I don't think the pass

1297
01:07:07,920 --> 01:07:10,640
Speaker 1: rush of the Bengals is anything to write home about,

1298
01:07:10,720 --> 01:07:13,880
Speaker 1: so I think they feel they'll Josh will have time

1299
01:07:14,080 --> 01:07:17,120
Speaker 1: to make those kinds of place, so hopefully it happens.

1300
01:07:17,240 --> 01:07:19,080
Speaker 11: I mean, you know, you'd love to be in a

1301
01:07:19,120 --> 01:07:22,400
Speaker 11: situation and they haven't been like this as as Steve

1302
01:07:22,520 --> 01:07:25,440
Speaker 11: mentioned that there were a time they were like this,

1303
01:07:25,560 --> 01:07:28,080
Speaker 11: but not recently. You'd love to see a situation where

1304
01:07:28,120 --> 01:07:29,880
Speaker 11: all of a sudden they are head seventeen six and

1305
01:07:30,040 --> 01:07:32,360
Speaker 11: not that the game's over, obviously it's not, but just

1306
01:07:32,400 --> 01:07:34,600
Speaker 11: that the game starts playing out a little differently and

1307
01:07:34,640 --> 01:07:37,760
Speaker 11: you don't feel like every possession is You know, you're

1308
01:07:37,760 --> 01:07:39,800
Speaker 11: sitting there on the edge of your seat. You know

1309
01:07:40,280 --> 01:07:42,040
Speaker 11: that you have a little breathing room.

1310
01:07:42,280 --> 01:07:45,000
Speaker 1: Right Greg, thanks for the time. As always, we appreciate it.

1311
01:07:45,040 --> 01:07:46,200
Speaker 1: We'll catch up with you next week.

1312
01:07:47,280 --> 01:07:49,520
Speaker 9: All right, guys, thanks, have a good one, appreciate it.

1313
01:07:49,520 --> 01:07:52,360
Speaker 1: Thanks that senior producer from NFL Films, Greg Cosel joining

1314
01:07:52,440 --> 01:07:57,520
Speaker 1: us talking to us about Bill's Bengals for Sunday at

1315
01:07:57,520 --> 01:08:01,200
Speaker 1: one PM and Bill's Mafia. It's tailgating season. There's nothing

1316
01:08:01,240 --> 01:08:03,520
Speaker 1: better than an ice cold pepsi zero sugar to pair

1317
01:08:03,560 --> 01:08:06,800
Speaker 1: with your tailgating food rituals. As the Great Josh Allen

1318
01:08:06,800 --> 01:08:10,560
Speaker 1: once said, Bill's fans deserve pepsi. Bill's Mafia has brought

1319
01:08:10,560 --> 01:08:14,640
Speaker 1: it this season, and so is pepsi. Bill's tailgates deserve pepsi.

1320
01:08:15,360 --> 01:08:16,599
Speaker 2: Go Bills. Well.

1321
01:08:16,640 --> 01:08:20,959
Speaker 1: The Friday injury report has been released and it's official.

1322
01:08:21,840 --> 01:08:24,760
Speaker 1: Terrell Bernard Joey Bosa, as head coach Sean McDermott said

1323
01:08:24,800 --> 01:08:29,200
Speaker 1: earlier today, are both out for this game. Joshua Palmer

1324
01:08:29,680 --> 01:08:33,240
Speaker 1: is doubtful, and then the two questionable players are Dalton

1325
01:08:33,320 --> 01:08:36,880
Speaker 1: Kincaid and Spencer Brown and Steve and I were kind

1326
01:08:36,880 --> 01:08:39,880
Speaker 1: of talking about this off air. Not that you discount

1327
01:08:40,000 --> 01:08:42,360
Speaker 1: the importance of this game because it's the one you're

1328
01:08:42,360 --> 01:08:45,639
Speaker 1: playing on Sunday, but you have a gigantic game next

1329
01:08:45,680 --> 01:08:49,680
Speaker 1: week against arguably a more complete opponent in the New

1330
01:08:49,720 --> 01:08:54,200
Speaker 1: England Patriots. And so if Spencer Brown is a little

1331
01:08:54,200 --> 01:08:58,360
Speaker 1: iffy for Sunday and Dalton Kincaid is a little GIMPI

1332
01:08:58,680 --> 01:09:01,960
Speaker 1: for Sunday, maybe you just sit them down another week

1333
01:09:02,760 --> 01:09:06,240
Speaker 1: and have them more ready for a game you'd prefer

1334
01:09:06,280 --> 01:09:09,040
Speaker 1: to have them in up in New England next Sunday.

1335
01:09:09,520 --> 01:09:10,920
Speaker 1: Am I out of line to think that way?

1336
01:09:11,080 --> 01:09:15,000
Speaker 2: No, I'm I, but it's there.

1337
01:09:15,560 --> 01:09:17,519
Speaker 3: We feel like there's gray area because we don't know,

1338
01:09:17,880 --> 01:09:19,840
Speaker 3: but it's a thumbs up thumbs down. And if you're

1339
01:09:19,840 --> 01:09:23,679
Speaker 3: good enough to play, play, if you're not, don't That's

1340
01:09:23,680 --> 01:09:26,240
Speaker 3: the way it is. And if a guy like Spencer

1341
01:09:26,280 --> 01:09:31,360
Speaker 3: Brown can play, he's gonna play. But there is the

1342
01:09:31,760 --> 01:09:34,719
Speaker 3: window there where if Spencer, if you believe Spencer Brown

1343
01:09:34,800 --> 01:09:36,760
Speaker 3: is not going to be one hundred percent and Ryan

1344
01:09:36,840 --> 01:09:39,240
Speaker 3: Vandermark is one hundred percent and he'll play better than

1345
01:09:39,280 --> 01:09:42,439
Speaker 3: Spencer Brown's eighty percent or sixty per or whatever it is,

1346
01:09:43,000 --> 01:09:47,240
Speaker 3: then that's the move you make. And but it should

1347
01:09:47,240 --> 01:09:51,680
Speaker 3: be that way regardless of the opponent. And that's the way,

1348
01:09:51,880 --> 01:09:55,240
Speaker 3: that's what I anticipate it'll be. If they can go,

1349
01:09:55,280 --> 01:09:55,920
Speaker 3: they're gonna go.

1350
01:09:58,920 --> 01:09:59,280
Speaker 2: You don't.

1351
01:09:59,360 --> 01:10:03,439
Speaker 3: You don't judge your player's health on who the opponent is.

1352
01:10:03,760 --> 01:10:05,240
Speaker 3: You got to if they can play, they play.

1353
01:10:06,280 --> 01:10:09,840
Speaker 1: Yeah. I'm kind of in that boat though with the

1354
01:10:09,880 --> 01:10:12,880
Speaker 1: eighty percent, you know what I mean? Yeah, I mean

1355
01:10:12,920 --> 01:10:14,920
Speaker 1: your eighty percent isn't better than that guy is one

1356
01:10:14,960 --> 01:10:17,040
Speaker 1: hundred percent. Just wait another week.

1357
01:10:17,120 --> 01:10:19,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, and here's get closer to one hundred percent myself

1358
01:10:20,160 --> 01:10:24,360
Speaker 3: for Brown, Spencer Brown, because it's his right shoulder and

1359
01:10:24,400 --> 01:10:27,479
Speaker 3: he plays right tackle, so everybody going off the edge

1360
01:10:27,479 --> 01:10:31,760
Speaker 3: goes right towards his right shoulder, and it's always under

1361
01:10:31,760 --> 01:10:33,519
Speaker 3: stress and it's always something you gotta have. You know,

1362
01:10:33,520 --> 01:10:36,360
Speaker 3: you got to have it right. And uh so he's

1363
01:10:36,400 --> 01:10:38,479
Speaker 3: he needs it needs to be good in order for

1364
01:10:38,560 --> 01:10:39,120
Speaker 3: him to play.

1365
01:10:39,640 --> 01:10:43,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, so we'll see what happens. There could be a

1366
01:10:43,600 --> 01:10:46,800
Speaker 1: game time decision. Got to take a break here, But

1367
01:10:47,000 --> 01:10:50,280
Speaker 1: when we come back, we've got the tailgate tag along.

1368

Speaker 1: turkey and sausage chili with holapanos and fire roasted tomatoes.

1388

Speaker 1: I keep it around three alarms so everyone can enjoy.

1389
01:12:11,920 --> 01:12:14,679
Speaker 1: I serve it with cheese and sour cream and over

1390
01:12:14,840 --> 01:12:19,200
Speaker 1: rice upon request, with Weggman's Tuscan garlic bread My recipe

1391
01:12:19,280 --> 01:12:22,920
Speaker 1: is always a fan favorite. I will say that I

1392
01:12:22,960 --> 01:12:27,479
Speaker 1: have made rice as the bed for chili on occasion.

1393
01:12:29,160 --> 01:12:33,599
Speaker 1: They mix very well, they do, They do very well together.

1394
01:12:33,640 --> 01:12:35,240
Speaker 1: They're a good compliment to one another.

1395
01:12:36,280 --> 01:12:36,600
Speaker 2: Not me.

1396
01:12:37,439 --> 01:12:40,479
Speaker 1: Well, yes, but I'm saying, if you want to turn

1397
01:12:40,520 --> 01:12:44,040
Speaker 1: in that direction, you're not going the wrong way necessarily

1398
01:12:44,120 --> 01:12:46,880
Speaker 1: on a one way street. But that does sound good.

1399
01:12:46,880 --> 01:12:48,080
Speaker 2: It's more common than you might know.

1400
01:12:50,120 --> 01:12:55,559
Speaker 1: Turkey and sausage chili. So the sausage is pork, and

1401
01:12:55,600 --> 01:12:57,880
Speaker 1: he's got ground turkey in there too. I'm guessing is

1402
01:12:57,920 --> 01:12:58,559
Speaker 1: what that means?

1403
01:12:58,680 --> 01:13:01,160
Speaker 2: Three bean turkey sausage chili. Right?

1404
01:13:01,240 --> 01:13:02,760
Speaker 1: Is that how I'm reading? Am I reading that right?

1405
01:13:02,920 --> 01:13:04,000
Speaker 2: Yeah? Three beans?

1406
01:13:04,040 --> 01:13:05,080
Speaker 1: I mean it sounds good either way.

1407
01:13:05,200 --> 01:13:09,920
Speaker 3: Beans, turkey and sausage with jalapenos and fire roosteds.

1408
01:13:10,040 --> 01:13:14,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's turning up the heat for sure, uh Amon says,

1409
01:13:14,400 --> 01:13:19,000
Speaker 1: cooking up fully loaded skyway chili dogs and searing flank

1410
01:13:19,080 --> 01:13:22,879
Speaker 1: stakes using our grills, Mafia all purpose Rubbo reed Ferguson,

1411
01:13:22,880 --> 01:13:25,920
Speaker 1: I'll be happy to hear that. We'll also have classic

1412
01:13:26,080 --> 01:13:31,799
Speaker 1: old fashioned cocktails. We're behind the chiropractor's office on Abbot,

1413
01:13:32,280 --> 01:13:35,640
Speaker 1: so he's already giving us his location. Very suggestive.

1414
01:13:35,680 --> 01:13:38,960
Speaker 3: Amen, I am I've been the Cincinnati number of times,

1415
01:13:39,120 --> 01:13:40,519
Speaker 3: particularly back in the day when I was doing the

1416
01:13:40,600 --> 01:13:41,800
Speaker 3: national thing with CBS.

1417
01:13:42,400 --> 01:13:45,160
Speaker 2: I am Skywait Chili. I am not a fan. It

1418
01:13:45,200 --> 01:13:47,200
Speaker 2: is awful. It is awful.

1419
01:13:47,360 --> 01:13:50,639
Speaker 1: Who is putting spaghetti with chili?

1420
01:13:50,840 --> 01:13:52,760
Speaker 2: Yeah? It is? It is not to me, it's not.

1421
01:13:52,800 --> 01:13:55,240
Speaker 1: Do you want to know what it is. I'm just

1422
01:13:55,320 --> 01:13:58,320
Speaker 1: gonna tell you, having grown up in an Italian household,

1423
01:13:58,400 --> 01:14:01,479
Speaker 1: it is an affront to a Bologna's dish. That's what

1424
01:14:01,520 --> 01:14:05,879
Speaker 1: that is. Yes, they're trying to cross Bolonne's with chili,

1425
01:14:06,600 --> 01:14:10,040
Speaker 1: and it is a horrific step child of a nightmare.

1426
01:14:10,600 --> 01:14:14,360
Speaker 1: They really have to stop making that. You go to Cincinnati,

1427
01:14:14,600 --> 01:14:18,200
Speaker 1: you get barbecue. You don't get that stuff because it

1428
01:14:18,320 --> 01:14:22,600
Speaker 1: is horrible. Cincinnati, love your barbecue. Skyway Chili is a

1429
01:14:22,640 --> 01:14:28,800
Speaker 1: mistake with a capital M. Andrew says something warm, lol,

1430
01:14:28,960 --> 01:14:32,599
Speaker 1: but probably going to enjoy a local favorite pizza and

1431
01:14:32,640 --> 01:14:36,360
Speaker 1: wings and maybe a nice mug of spiked hot chocolate.

1432
01:14:36,840 --> 01:14:41,880
Speaker 1: Highly recommend Bailey's Irish Cream as the alcohol additive go

1433
01:14:41,960 --> 01:14:45,719
Speaker 1: bills and Baillye's Irish Cream is popular around the holidays,

1434
01:14:45,760 --> 01:14:49,759
Speaker 1: so that is no surprise. Do you have to doctor

1435
01:14:49,840 --> 01:14:51,080
Speaker 1: up your hot chocolate.

1436
01:14:51,320 --> 01:14:53,280
Speaker 2: I don't have to know. Yeah, I don't have to

1437
01:14:53,360 --> 01:14:55,160
Speaker 2: either marshmallows.

1438
01:14:55,280 --> 01:14:57,360
Speaker 1: Maybe, yes, I'm talking about alcohol, but.

1439
01:14:57,600 --> 01:14:59,280
Speaker 2: You don't really need I don't need to spike it up.

1440
01:14:59,400 --> 01:15:02,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like, if you're gonna do that, do that.

1441
01:15:02,240 --> 01:15:04,280
Speaker 2: If you're gonna do hot chocolate, do hot chocolate.

1442
01:15:04,479 --> 01:15:07,240
Speaker 1: But Andrew's going to do both. There you go in

1443
01:15:07,320 --> 01:15:10,960
Speaker 1: one mug. So good on you. So those are some

1444
01:15:11,040 --> 01:15:14,679
Speaker 1: of the recipes being cooked up this week. So those

1445
01:15:14,720 --> 01:15:18,840
Speaker 1: do sound good, and we do remind you that there

1446
01:15:18,880 --> 01:15:23,080
Speaker 1: is a chance that if you submit your menu items

1447

1448
01:15:28,160 --> 01:15:31,360

1449
01:15:31,360 --> 01:15:34,040

01:15:44,240 --> 01:15:47,479

Speaker 2: It's gonna be so cold.

1460
01:16:01,240 --> 01:16:03,800
Speaker 1: That should be an entertaining video come Tuesday on the show.

1461
01:16:03,880 --> 01:16:06,519
Speaker 2: So you might have to upgrade my game day attire.

1462
01:16:06,640 --> 01:16:07,479
Speaker 1: That might be going long.

1463
01:16:07,560 --> 01:16:09,679
Speaker 2: John's yeah, oh that's a given.

1464
01:16:10,800 --> 01:16:13,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I gotta so, I gotta get I gotta get

1465
01:16:13,840 --> 01:16:16,799
Speaker 3: on the on the Yeah, I gotta get that together.

1466
01:16:18,320 --> 01:16:20,000
Speaker 1: I know where mine are. They're in the trunk at

1467
01:16:20,000 --> 01:16:23,200
Speaker 1: the foot of my bed. So I'll be I'll be

1468
01:16:23,360 --> 01:16:24,200
Speaker 1: lined and layered.

1469
01:16:24,240 --> 01:16:26,120
Speaker 2: I've got lots of I've got lots of options.

1470
01:16:26,200 --> 01:16:29,320
Speaker 3: I got the zero camping you know, the the winter

1471
01:16:29,400 --> 01:16:30,280
Speaker 3: camping gear that I.

1472
01:16:30,200 --> 01:16:32,800
Speaker 2: Can Oh, yeah, you could roll out my gosh. Yeah,

1473
01:16:32,880 --> 01:16:37,880
Speaker 2: I've got options. You're you're far more prepared. It looks

1474
01:16:37,880 --> 01:16:40,680
Speaker 2: like we got to be waterproof too, though, if you're

1475
01:16:40,720 --> 01:16:41,120
Speaker 2: out in it.

1476
01:16:41,200 --> 01:16:43,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, you are right about that.

1477
01:16:43,760 --> 01:16:43,960
Speaker 11: Yeah.

1478
01:16:44,960 --> 01:16:48,559
Speaker 1: I want to take a look at the other tweet sheet,

1479
01:16:48,960 --> 01:16:51,320
Speaker 1: uh to see what questions you might have there. In

1480
01:16:51,400 --> 01:16:56,720
Speaker 1: the OBL Friday fan mail bag, Kevin asks Steve what

1481
01:16:56,840 --> 01:17:02,120
Speaker 1: was your favorite away team slash stadium to play? Chris,

1482
01:17:02,160 --> 01:17:04,640
Speaker 1: what's been your favorite away team stadium to call a

1483
01:17:04,680 --> 01:17:05,240
Speaker 1: game at?

1484
01:17:06,840 --> 01:17:10,519
Speaker 2: For me, it's probably Miami, Okay. During my career. Joe

1485
01:17:10,600 --> 01:17:14,519
Speaker 2: Robbie were talking or that you place, Joe Robbie. It's

1486
01:17:14,520 --> 01:17:16,959
Speaker 2: the same spot, but it's just been renovated and renamed.

1487
01:17:17,000 --> 01:17:18,040
Speaker 2: So yeah, well that's right.

1488
01:17:19,080 --> 01:17:20,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, did you ever play at the Orange Bowl?

1489
01:17:21,240 --> 01:17:21,599
Speaker 2: He didn't.

1490
01:17:21,840 --> 01:17:24,920
Speaker 3: No, I did not, not even when I was with

1491
01:17:24,960 --> 01:17:28,479
Speaker 3: the Oilers. So I think that's my fair because we

1492
01:17:28,479 --> 01:17:30,280
Speaker 3: had a really good record against Miami during my day.

1493
01:17:30,320 --> 01:17:33,760
Speaker 3: In fact, I think Marv is the only coach of

1494
01:17:33,840 --> 01:17:36,479
Speaker 3: a certain level that had enough games against him, that

1495
01:17:36,520 --> 01:17:41,840
Speaker 3: had a winning record against Don Shula. Mar Marv was

1496
01:17:41,880 --> 01:17:44,080
Speaker 3: successful against him. Of course, you know, it was the

1497
01:17:44,160 --> 01:17:46,920
Speaker 3: team of the nineties, so yeah, that was for me.

1498
01:17:47,040 --> 01:17:50,920
Speaker 3: It was a great surface, nice fast, natural grass, so

1499
01:17:50,960 --> 01:17:52,560
Speaker 3: it was Yeah, it was good.

1500
01:17:52,439 --> 01:17:55,519
Speaker 1: I would say for me. And I don't like to

1501
01:17:55,560 --> 01:17:58,400
Speaker 1: admit this, but it's probably New England to call a

1502
01:17:58,439 --> 01:18:04,800
Speaker 1: game at because it's an unbelievable vantage point. You are

1503
01:18:04,880 --> 01:18:09,439
Speaker 1: literally right behind the last row of the lower bowl.

1504
01:18:11,000 --> 01:18:14,759
Speaker 2: You're approximately at the forty yard line, but you're low.

1505
01:18:15,439 --> 01:18:18,400
Speaker 1: The overhang from the upper deck doesn't obstruct your view

1506
01:18:18,400 --> 01:18:24,640
Speaker 1: in any way. So that just from a vantage point

1507
01:18:24,720 --> 01:18:28,720
Speaker 1: to call a game, that is probably tops for me.

1508
01:18:28,840 --> 01:18:33,240
Speaker 1: Now I have not been to Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

1509
01:18:33,800 --> 01:18:36,759
Speaker 1: I have not been to the new San Francisco Stadium

1510
01:18:36,760 --> 01:18:40,679
Speaker 1: in Santa Clara, so I'll have to report back on those.

1511
01:18:40,760 --> 01:18:45,519
Speaker 1: I was pleasantly surprised last year with Seattle's broadcast booth

1512
01:18:47,240 --> 01:18:50,160
Speaker 1: because some of these newer stadiums, you know, they stick

1513
01:18:50,200 --> 01:18:53,360
Speaker 1: the radio crew in the corners, and we were at

1514
01:18:53,720 --> 01:18:55,760
Speaker 1: probably the thirty five forty yard line.

1515
01:18:55,760 --> 01:18:56,000
Speaker 2: I was.

1516
01:18:56,080 --> 01:18:58,840
Speaker 1: I was pretty pleased with that location because we're not

1517
01:18:58,880 --> 01:19:00,599
Speaker 1: out in Seattle very often, so I didn't know what

1518
01:19:00,640 --> 01:19:01,200
Speaker 1: to expect.

1519
01:19:01,920 --> 01:19:02,640
Speaker 2: But that booth was.

1520
01:19:02,640 --> 01:19:04,800
Speaker 3: Pre it used to be way back in the day. Man,

1521
01:19:04,880 --> 01:19:07,320
Speaker 3: the broadcast media got right.

1522
01:19:07,760 --> 01:19:08,840
Speaker 1: And TV still does.

1523
01:19:09,000 --> 01:19:10,840
Speaker 2: TV still does, National TV still gets.

1524
01:19:10,880 --> 01:19:11,759
Speaker 1: They're paying billions.

1525
01:19:11,960 --> 01:19:16,600
Speaker 3: But everybody else it started moved slower and slower to

1526
01:19:16,800 --> 01:19:18,719
Speaker 3: less attractive real estate.

1527
01:19:20,560 --> 01:19:24,360
Speaker 1: Yeap, hey, man, it is what it is. Yeah, Ed asks,

1528
01:19:24,520 --> 01:19:31,680
Speaker 1: who's due for a breakout game against the Bengals. I'm

1529
01:19:31,720 --> 01:19:33,600
Speaker 1: kind of feeling key on here a little bit. I

1530
01:19:33,640 --> 01:19:38,479
Speaker 1: don't know why. It's just a gut thing he's got.

1531
01:19:38,600 --> 01:19:42,080
Speaker 1: I think he's got touchdowns in each of his last

1532
01:19:42,080 --> 01:19:47,920
Speaker 1: two games that he's played, so he's scoring. Can he

1533
01:19:47,960 --> 01:19:51,240
Speaker 1: be productive in other ways. I think, as you heard

1534
01:19:51,280 --> 01:19:56,400
Speaker 1: Greg co Sel say, his secondary is not all that good.

1535
01:19:57,280 --> 01:20:00,000
Speaker 1: Their best and most physical corner is on injured resis

1536
01:20:00,320 --> 01:20:04,160
Speaker 1: Cam Taylor Britt. So it's DJ Turner and an undersized

1537
01:20:04,200 --> 01:20:09,040
Speaker 1: Dax Hill outside. I could be off my rocker, but

1538
01:20:09,080 --> 01:20:11,439
Speaker 1: I just got a gut feeling that Keon's going to

1539
01:20:11,479 --> 01:20:12,479
Speaker 1: do a few things in this game.

1540
01:20:12,560 --> 01:20:14,960
Speaker 3: You know, I would name I was you know how

1541
01:20:15,000 --> 01:20:17,280
Speaker 3: you kind of throw all the names to the teams

1542
01:20:17,280 --> 01:20:17,680
Speaker 3: and what he.

1543
01:20:18,120 --> 01:20:20,160
Speaker 2: I think Max might have to be out there. I

1544
01:20:20,240 --> 01:20:22,080
Speaker 2: might Max might have an ice game.

1545
01:20:22,320 --> 01:20:24,760
Speaker 3: Okay, he's gonna go defensive side, He's gonna go test.

1546
01:20:24,840 --> 01:20:28,080
Speaker 3: He's gonna get tested. Yep, it's going to be a

1547
01:20:28,080 --> 01:20:30,280
Speaker 3: big test and we'll see how. We'll see how whether

1548
01:20:30,280 --> 01:20:32,800
Speaker 3: he sinks or swims, because I think they'll probably pick

1549
01:20:32,840 --> 01:20:38,880
Speaker 3: on him, right, Uh, you would assume so go after

1550
01:20:38,920 --> 01:20:41,960
Speaker 3: the rookie, right So yeah, there could be some of that,

1551
01:20:42,320 --> 01:20:44,599
Speaker 3: sure for sure, interesting and he can make the most

1552
01:20:44,600 --> 01:20:44,760
Speaker 3: of it.

1553
01:20:44,840 --> 01:20:46,160
Speaker 2: Good questions fun to think about.

1554
01:20:46,880 --> 01:20:51,040
Speaker 1: Mike asks did the Bills air in their handling of

1555
01:20:51,160 --> 01:20:54,519
Speaker 1: waving ingram after claiming sligh? How does this process work?

1556
01:20:54,520 --> 01:20:56,839
Speaker 1: Could the Bills have waited to wave Ingram until confirming

1557
01:20:56,840 --> 01:20:58,960
Speaker 1: with a player agent Slay's intention, or do they have

1558
01:20:59,040 --> 01:21:01,960
Speaker 1: to cut Ingram immediately Once you're awarded to claim, you

1559
01:21:02,040 --> 01:21:04,280
Speaker 1: have to make space on your roster for said player.

1560
01:21:05,120 --> 01:21:07,840
Speaker 1: So right, that's kind of the way it works there.

1561
01:21:09,000 --> 01:21:11,960
Speaker 1: Andrew asks, with the injuries we have at linebacker, you

1562
01:21:12,040 --> 01:21:15,280
Speaker 1: think Bean would look at bringing back a familiar face

1563
01:21:15,760 --> 01:21:18,080
Speaker 1: in Boogie Basham. I know he's currently on the Raiders

1564
01:21:18,120 --> 01:21:22,120
Speaker 1: practice squad lately, it seems like Bean's putting the band

1565
01:21:22,200 --> 01:21:25,040
Speaker 1: back together. Maybe Boogie might have something to bring to

1566
01:21:25,080 --> 01:21:28,400
Speaker 1: the table. Well, if he's not on the Raiders active roster,

1567
01:21:29,280 --> 01:21:30,720
Speaker 1: that might be all you need to know. Because the

1568
01:21:30,800 --> 01:21:32,320
Speaker 1: Raiders are not a good football team.

1569
01:21:32,680 --> 01:21:35,960
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1570
01:21:35,960 --> 01:21:39,760
Speaker 3: Well, the list that they have is far more comprehensive

1571
01:21:39,800 --> 01:21:41,479
Speaker 3: than any list we can come up with just because

1572
01:21:41,479 --> 01:21:46,519
Speaker 3: we know these guys' names. They've got every player in

1573
01:21:46,560 --> 01:21:49,680
Speaker 3: the league and certainly every practice squad player, and a

1574
01:21:49,760 --> 01:21:52,760
Speaker 3: file on every guy and a file on it. Got

1575
01:21:52,760 --> 01:21:56,720
Speaker 3: guys looking combing other team's rosters to try and get

1576
01:21:56,720 --> 01:22:00,320
Speaker 3: a handle on who those guys are. Because free agencies coming,

1577
01:22:00,439 --> 01:22:05,479
Speaker 3: you know, in five four or five months. Yeah, it's

1578
01:22:05,720 --> 01:22:09,240
Speaker 3: not four months, So it's yeah, they know everybody in

1579
01:22:09,240 --> 01:22:11,640
Speaker 3: the league. Basically, it's what I'm saying, and they've got

1580
01:22:11,640 --> 01:22:14,440
Speaker 3: a file on them, and they've probably got them prioritized,

1581
01:22:14,479 --> 01:22:16,519
Speaker 3: and if a guy on the right priority and it's

1582
01:22:16,600 --> 01:22:19,160
Speaker 3: high enough on the priority list, comes available, they're gonna

1583
01:22:19,200 --> 01:22:23,120
Speaker 3: jump it. So yeah, no, I would say no to

1584
01:22:23,200 --> 01:22:27,840
Speaker 3: Boogie for the same reason that you know that Chris did.

1585
01:22:27,920 --> 01:22:33,320
Speaker 3: I'm he was here, they know him. He's out there

1586
01:22:33,400 --> 01:22:36,639
Speaker 3: now on their practice squad, and he can't crack that lineup.

1587
01:22:36,760 --> 01:22:39,280
Speaker 3: I don't think you can assume that he's gonna be

1588
01:22:39,280 --> 01:22:40,400
Speaker 3: able to crack yours.

1589
01:22:40,720 --> 01:22:45,040
Speaker 1: Especially when they already have two pass rushers in reserve

1590
01:22:45,120 --> 01:22:48,640
Speaker 1: on the practice squad right now, and Morgan Fox and

1591
01:22:48,760 --> 01:22:55,000
Speaker 1: Shaq Lawson, so Epanessa is up, Bosa is down this week,

1592
01:22:55,240 --> 01:22:57,160
Speaker 1: so you would assume they call one of them up.

1593
01:22:57,840 --> 01:23:01,680
Speaker 1: I'm anticipating it's gonna be Morgan File. We'll see who

1594
01:23:01,760 --> 01:23:04,479
Speaker 1: they choose to elevate from the practice squad to be

1595
01:23:04,520 --> 01:23:08,680
Speaker 1: available for the game. On Sunday, Sarah asks do the

1596
01:23:08,760 --> 01:23:12,599
Speaker 1: Bills have enough cornerback depth at this point? Any thoughts

1597
01:23:12,640 --> 01:23:15,120
Speaker 1: on how they will fill the fourth fifth cornerback slot.

1598
01:23:15,200 --> 01:23:18,960
Speaker 1: This worries me because every postseason, we've had cornerback injuries.

1599
01:23:19,439 --> 01:23:23,120
Speaker 1: I understand the concerns Sarah. The last several weeks, they've

1600
01:23:23,160 --> 01:23:25,439
Speaker 1: gone into the game the last three weeks, I know

1601
01:23:25,560 --> 01:23:29,160
Speaker 1: for sure with JaMarcus Ingram as a healthy, inactive player.

1602
01:23:30,240 --> 01:23:33,439
Speaker 1: Part of the reason they feel comfortable going into games

1603
01:23:33,520 --> 01:23:36,280
Speaker 1: with only three outside corners is because you have Cam

1604
01:23:36,400 --> 01:23:41,000
Speaker 1: Lewis as an emergency break lass option, knowing he can play,

1605
01:23:42,680 --> 01:23:46,920
Speaker 1: you know, dime back corner safety. He's kind of a

1606
01:23:46,960 --> 01:23:49,160
Speaker 1: Swiss Army knife for you, So that's an option they

1607
01:23:49,200 --> 01:23:52,000
Speaker 1: have at their disposal. They do also still have Dane

1608
01:23:52,080 --> 01:23:56,000
Speaker 1: Jackson on the practice squad, so I think in an

1609
01:23:56,040 --> 01:23:58,680
Speaker 1: ideal world, they'd like to have the veteran depth there.

1610
01:23:58,720 --> 01:24:00,880
Speaker 1: That's why they put the claim in to begin with.

1611
01:24:01,880 --> 01:24:04,840
Speaker 1: They don't at the moment. We'll see where it goes

1612
01:24:06,880 --> 01:24:09,400
Speaker 1: because right now they have an unfilled roster spot there,

1613
01:24:09,640 --> 01:24:11,160
Speaker 1: so we'll have to.

1614
01:24:11,160 --> 01:24:11,760
Speaker 2: See what they do.

1615
01:24:13,280 --> 01:24:16,560
Speaker 1: Going forward if they feel it's necessary to have that

1616
01:24:16,680 --> 01:24:19,080
Speaker 1: extra corner on the active roster, because right now they

1617
01:24:19,080 --> 01:24:19,599
Speaker 1: don't have one.

1618
01:24:20,200 --> 01:24:23,640
Speaker 2: I don't know. Do you think they got to No, No,

1619
01:24:23,840 --> 01:24:24,400
Speaker 2: I don't think so.

1620
01:24:25,040 --> 01:24:27,000
Speaker 3: If someone gets hurt, I think, but I think they

1621
01:24:27,040 --> 01:24:30,800
Speaker 3: were looking to upgrade, and now then they in the

1622
01:24:30,960 --> 01:24:34,760
Speaker 3: process lost a guy they liked. But they I think

1623
01:24:34,760 --> 01:24:38,439
Speaker 3: they liked Slay. I thought, you know, this the kind

1624
01:24:38,520 --> 01:24:43,360
Speaker 3: of guy that a coach like McDermott would have a

1625
01:24:43,400 --> 01:24:45,160
Speaker 3: conversation about. And he would have a lot of respect

1626
01:24:45,240 --> 01:24:47,840
Speaker 3: for the guy, right because he's played well, won a

1627
01:24:47,920 --> 01:24:50,519
Speaker 3: championship with Philly, who was a top draft pick. He's

1628
01:24:50,520 --> 01:24:52,960
Speaker 3: a great athlete, played against him probably a number of times,

1629
01:24:53,040 --> 01:24:56,160
Speaker 3: and his name came up and probably say, you know,

1630
01:24:56,280 --> 01:24:58,680
Speaker 3: I kind of like to have that guy on our team. Right,

1631
01:24:59,720 --> 01:25:02,120
Speaker 3: So that's where that came from. It wasn't that they

1632
01:25:02,160 --> 01:25:04,240
Speaker 3: looked at their corner room said yeah, we're not good enough.

1633
01:25:04,280 --> 01:25:06,920
Speaker 3: He just said, this guy I want to coach. I

1634
01:25:07,000 --> 01:25:11,280
Speaker 3: want him on our team. His reputation says it. The

1635
01:25:11,360 --> 01:25:15,040
Speaker 3: way we've seen him play against us says it. It

1636
01:25:15,080 --> 01:25:17,120
Speaker 3: would be an upgrade pretty quick as soon as he

1637
01:25:17,200 --> 01:25:21,080
Speaker 3: got acclimated. So I think that's where that conversation went.

1638
01:25:21,120 --> 01:25:22,880
Speaker 3: I don't think it was them and had anything to

1639
01:25:22,960 --> 01:25:24,559
Speaker 3: do with the guys or the number of guys they've

1640
01:25:24,600 --> 01:25:28,280
Speaker 3: got on their team. I think they in particular like

1641
01:25:28,360 --> 01:25:32,360
Speaker 3: that guy. Yeah, I wouldn't disagree with that at all.

1642
01:25:33,080 --> 01:25:35,360
Speaker 1: Gotta take a break here a final thought or two

1643
01:25:35,640 --> 01:25:38,559
Speaker 1: on the tweet sheet when we return on this obl

1644
01:25:38,720 --> 01:25:41,360
Speaker 1: Friday fan Mailbag edition of One Bill's Live, presented by

1645
01:25:41,439 --> 01:25:55,599
Speaker 1: Colida Help. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio Vision to Victory, presented

1646
01:25:55,640 --> 01:25:58,720
Speaker 1: by Awell eye Here, the official eye care provider of

1647
01:25:58,920 --> 01:26:02,720
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. And I don't know, the more I

1648
01:26:02,800 --> 01:26:05,679
Speaker 1: think about this game, the more I'm envisioning a balanced

1649
01:26:05,720 --> 01:26:10,040
Speaker 1: approach on offense from this Bills team. This is a

1650
01:26:10,120 --> 01:26:13,560
Speaker 1: Cincinnati defense that struggles in a lot of areas, and

1651
01:26:13,680 --> 01:26:15,880
Speaker 1: because of that, I think as long as you stay

1652
01:26:15,920 --> 01:26:19,360
Speaker 1: on schedule down in distance wise, the playbook is wide

1653
01:26:19,400 --> 01:26:24,360
Speaker 1: open for you. Even without presumably Palmer and Kincaid. I

1654
01:26:24,439 --> 01:26:26,160
Speaker 1: think you've got enough talent that you can put on

1655
01:26:26,240 --> 01:26:29,720
Speaker 1: the field to win matchups against this defense, which is

1656
01:26:29,760 --> 01:26:31,080
Speaker 1: one of the worst in football.

1657
01:26:32,160 --> 01:26:34,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think if you don't turn it over, you

1658
01:26:34,320 --> 01:26:36,600
Speaker 3: can play it. It feels like you can play it

1659
01:26:36,680 --> 01:26:40,400
Speaker 3: close to the vest and still be productive and score

1660
01:26:40,479 --> 01:26:45,799
Speaker 3: points even with Kincaid and Palm are out. Your passing

1661
01:26:45,880 --> 01:26:51,439
Speaker 3: game should be, you know, robust enough to keep you

1662
01:26:51,520 --> 01:26:55,840
Speaker 3: on the field anyway, and your running game certainly is

1663
01:26:55,880 --> 01:26:57,320
Speaker 3: going to put a lot of pressure on that team.

1664
01:26:57,479 --> 01:27:00,640
Speaker 3: So I think if you don't like, for instance, the

1665
01:27:02,080 --> 01:27:04,840
Speaker 3: Bengals did beat the Ravens last week, but the Ravens

1666
01:27:04,880 --> 01:27:08,800
Speaker 3: had five turnovers, five and they beat and they and

1667
01:27:08,880 --> 01:27:12,479
Speaker 3: the Ravens had two touchdown, one touchdown called back, and

1668
01:27:12,600 --> 01:27:15,360
Speaker 3: another touchdown that was fumbled away by the guy likely

1669
01:27:15,479 --> 01:27:19,840
Speaker 3: going in. So yeah, if you play it close to

1670
01:27:19,880 --> 01:27:22,080
Speaker 3: the vest and you can still be productive offensively and

1671
01:27:22,160 --> 01:27:25,200
Speaker 3: you don't turn it over, you're gonna be okay against

1672
01:27:25,200 --> 01:27:28,799
Speaker 3: this defense and score the points you need. And on defense,

1673
01:27:28,920 --> 01:27:32,479
Speaker 3: all you need is just a couple of handful of plays.

1674
01:27:32,960 --> 01:27:33,960
Speaker 3: A handful of plays.

1675
01:27:34,120 --> 01:27:36,680
Speaker 1: Now that's not to say there might be some uncomfortable

1676
01:27:36,720 --> 01:27:38,960
Speaker 1: moments in this game. We remember there were some uncomfortable

1677
01:27:39,000 --> 01:27:40,840
Speaker 1: moments in the Tampa Bay game a few weeks ago.

1678
01:27:41,640 --> 01:27:45,519
Speaker 1: I could foresee that. But to me, the Bills are

1679
01:27:45,560 --> 01:27:48,920
Speaker 1: the better all around team and should win this football game.

1680
01:27:48,960 --> 01:27:52,679
Speaker 1: So that's vision to victory. Final question on the OBL

1681
01:27:52,760 --> 01:27:55,920
Speaker 1: Friday fan mailbag Jim asks to make a Super Bowl run,

1682
01:27:56,640 --> 01:27:58,720
Speaker 1: do you have more faith in the Bills defense or

1683
01:27:58,760 --> 01:28:01,120
Speaker 1: their offense to hold up their end of things in

1684
01:28:01,280 --> 01:28:03,560
Speaker 1: pursuit of a Lombardi.

1685
01:28:04,200 --> 01:28:06,000
Speaker 2: I'll pick the side of the ball with Josh Allen

1686
01:28:06,080 --> 01:28:06,240
Speaker 2: on it.

1687
01:28:06,479 --> 01:28:09,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that is the engine that kind of

1688
01:28:09,439 --> 01:28:14,320
Speaker 1: drives this team. You're just hoping for the defense to

1689
01:28:14,520 --> 01:28:17,439
Speaker 1: get healthier by the time you get to the end

1690
01:28:17,479 --> 01:28:21,160
Speaker 1: of the season. We had coach McDermott tell us today

1691
01:28:22,040 --> 01:28:26,880
Speaker 1: that as far as Ed Oliver is concerned, postseason is

1692
01:28:27,000 --> 01:28:29,799
Speaker 1: the goal there for him to be ready in returning

1693
01:28:29,840 --> 01:28:34,760
Speaker 1: from a biceps injury. So the assumption is he would

1694
01:28:34,800 --> 01:28:37,760
Speaker 1: be available once you reach the postseason. That would be

1695
01:28:37,840 --> 01:28:42,439
Speaker 1: a boost for this defense. You gotta hope everybody else

1696
01:28:42,520 --> 01:28:45,280
Speaker 1: that's healthy now is healthy then, which is saying a

1697
01:28:45,320 --> 01:28:47,919
Speaker 1: lot these days with five games to play.

1698
01:28:47,800 --> 01:28:54,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's yeah. I think this offense would be markedly better.

1699
01:28:54,760 --> 01:28:59,599
Speaker 3: I think people would have less angst about it if

1700
01:29:00,160 --> 01:29:02,479
Speaker 3: it could stay healthy on the outside. I'm talking about

1701
01:29:02,479 --> 01:29:06,160
Speaker 3: the receiving group and the tight end and Kincaid. Of course,

1702
01:29:06,960 --> 01:29:08,680
Speaker 3: if it was healthy, I think it would be much

1703
01:29:08,720 --> 01:29:12,680
Speaker 3: more productive. But you know, they haven't been able to

1704
01:29:12,920 --> 01:29:14,360
Speaker 3: this on and off the field, in and out of

1705
01:29:14,360 --> 01:29:16,439
Speaker 3: the lineup. Man, They're forever mixing it up on the

1706
01:29:16,479 --> 01:29:17,800
Speaker 3: outside and it makes it tough to throw.

1707
01:29:18,920 --> 01:29:19,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, So.

1708
01:29:21,160 --> 01:29:26,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I would lean offense on that question there, Andrew,

1709
01:29:26,720 --> 01:29:28,880
Speaker 1: but thanks for it. That'll wrap it up for a

1710
01:29:28,920 --> 01:29:32,200
Speaker 1: Friday edition of One Bills Live, Enjoy the Game. On Sunday,

1711
01:29:32,320 --> 01:29:34,560
Speaker 1: I'll have the call, Steve will have postgame coverage with

1712
01:29:34,640 --> 01:29:36,679
Speaker 1: Maddi glab and then we'll be back here on Monday

1713
01:29:37,080 --> 01:29:39,400
Speaker 1: to recap it all with a start at noon.

1714
01:29:39,479 --> 01:29:40,000
Speaker 2: We'll see the
