Speaker 1: discuss the off season. We'll also discuss playoffs, even though

5
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 1: the Bills are not part of it anymore. We've got

6
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: the AFC and NFC title games coming up this weekend.

7
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: We'll be discussing that an hour number two with the

8
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 1: one and only Greg co Sell, senior producer from NFL Films.

Speaker 1: And we also have, as we do every Friday, the

10
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 1: OBL Friday Fan Mailbag. Any question under the sun on

11
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 1: the Bills or the NFL at large fire away, we

12
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: will do our best to answer them with coherent and

13
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:19,039
Speaker 1: competent responses. No guarantees, no, yeah, that's right, Well, we

14
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: don't know what we're being asked. Results results may vary,

15
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: as results may vary. Batteries not included. M Yeah. So

16
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:31,960
Speaker 1: here we are the Friday before the conference championship games.

17
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,479
Speaker 1: I think it's been interesting, Steve, how much Patrick mahomes

18
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: Ankle can move the point spread line because they went

19
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: from I think an initial favorite to then one or

20
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: two point underdog and now it's swung back in favor

21
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: of the Chiefs where they're like a one and a

22
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 1: half point favorite again, all because Patrick Mahomes went from oh,

23
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: what's the ankle gonna do? To not wearing an ankle

24
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: brace to his press ofference to practicing fully in practice. Yeah,

25
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 1: and we just got word that the Bengals again are

26
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 1: going to be without starting right guard Alex Kappa and

27
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: left tackle Jonah Williams. They have been ruled out Sunday's game. Well, yeah,

28
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: he was out for the season. We knew that. But yeah,

29
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: those two guys at least had a shred of hope

30
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: that they could play. But that is not going to

31
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: be the case. See it, all these games, you talk

32
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: into the competition of the questions in each game, and

33
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: you kind of think you talk to yourself into either

34
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: team winning. And I get all that. I think the

35
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 1: Chiefs and I said this last week though, and I

36
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: was completely wrong. I think the Chiefs are gonna lump

37
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 1: these guys up. You don't talk about another if you

38
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 1: haven't heard, the Bengals are referring to Arrowhead Stadium as

39
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 1: Burrowhead Stadium because he's you know, three and oh against

40
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. You know, and he's Burrow has is undefeated

41
00:02:55,560 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: against Mahomes in his career. F I'm the Chiefs man.

42
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 1: I am hot about that. I am hot. Yeah. And

43
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,079
Speaker 1: the and we saw the Bengals are you know, they don't.

44
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 1: They don't lack confidence in talking about how good they

45
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: are and how good they're going to be and how

46
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 1: bad you are and what they're gonna do to you.

47
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: They have no they have no qualms about talking well

48
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: before the before the game. The Chiefs are not immune

49
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: to falling into that trap either, because they're linebacker. Willie

50
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 1: Gay was asked this week what impressed him about the

51
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: Bengals offense, and he said nothing. That was his answer.

52
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: Nothing that I think that's a mistake. Yeah, you don't

53
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: want to do that. And Zack Taylor said it himself

54
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: last week. He scours the internet looking for any shred

55
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: of bulletin board material he can find. That one is

56
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: going to be in all caps, bold face and forty

57
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: eight font on on the Bengals bulletin board this week.

58
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: It is if you have if you have a team gifts,

59
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: if you have a team that is struggling or whatever,

60
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: you need to fire them up or whatever. Disrespect is

61
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: the elixir that fixes that. When you disrespect guys and

62
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 1: their professionalism, their team, they're accompliment whatever challenge their manhood.

63
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: Take your pick. It is the absolute magic elixir for

64
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: getting a team angry enough to play football. Not that

65
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 1: you have to be angry to but still you want

66
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: to play your best, and when you play your best,

67
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 1: it's when you are highly motivated with some animosity towards

68
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: your opponent. Right. And yeah, that when you say nothing

69
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 1: about their offense, impression, impresses about their offense, nothing that

70
00:04:55,880 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 1: is that is an absolute, in my mind, absolute mental mistake.

71
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: Not much worse than the Bengals disrespecting not only you know,

72
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: burrow Head Stadium. To me, that's because now you're disrespecting

73
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: the fans too. Yeah, it's and this tends to happen,

74
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 1: and it'll probably happen even more going into the super

75
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: Bowl because it's two weeks for a war of words.

76
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 1: But yeah, you'd like to think that there were a

77
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 1: couple of Chiefs players that were trying that were you know,

78
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: the media is trying to bait them into saying something

79
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: remotely controversial, and two or three of them just wisely said,

80
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 1: we're just gonna let our play do the talking. And

81
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, you know, where has that been?

82
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 1: Because I don't know what it is why it's so

83
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 1: hard for guys to keep their mouth shut. If you

84
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,359
Speaker 1: if you don't want to back down and sound meek

85
00:05:55,800 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 1: with an answer, just say no comment, right, say yeah,

86
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: I'm not commenting on that next question. And I'll say this, Um,

87
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: it's a lot better than given a motivation does do that.

88
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: Last year, the the Chiefs, I mean, so you know

89
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 1: you talk about you know they got they were three

90
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: in Burrows three and agust moment, the Chiefs were up

91
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,479
Speaker 1: twenty one three in that game last year, one three

92
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 1: with five minutes to go in the second Yeah, I think,

93
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 1: I think if I remember right, Cincinnati shut them out

94
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: in the second half. The Chiefs got a got a

95
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: field goal to tie it up in the fourth quarter

96
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: because it went over time never mind, So yeah that happened,

97
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: held him to a field goal in the second half.

98
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: I'm like, Mike, you know, the over under is only

99
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: forty eight for that game, which I think most people

100
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:56,679
Speaker 1: would would considered low knowing the offensive firepower those two teams,

101
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, So maybe some of some

102
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: of the unknown about Mahomes. Maneuverability is a part of

103
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: that number. But it's interesting they you know forty eight

104
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 1: points you're talking, there must be fact twenty we're not

105
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: aware of their twenty six twenty three. Someone getting late

106
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: in the year and the weather and the coldness keeps

107
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: the scoring down. I guess maybe I didn't even look.

108
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 1: Did you see what the weather is supposed to be

109
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: in Kansas City? I didn't. It's gonna be cold. I'll

110
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: say that I can't. I mean, I grew up out there.

111
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 1: It's cold, it won't be I doubt that they'll get

112
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 1: precipitation in any form. Let's see what it says for Sunday,

113
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: who sunny, high of twenty five, low of fourteen. It's cold.

114
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: And when it's clear and sunny and cold like that,

115
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: it's colder than usual because the clouds keep the clouds

116
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: keep the heat in. Don't believe that it's twenty five.

117
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 1: It's colder. It's colder. It's gonna feel colder. I'm telling you, Okay,

118
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 1: it's gonna be bad. I just don't want it to

119
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 1: be windy because I want to see two offenses at

120
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,239
Speaker 1: their best as much as I don't want to watch

121
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: the Bengals play these days. I'm still a little sore.

122
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: So that is what it is. The NFC game. I

123
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: think it's going to be a slobber knocker. Those two defenses, now,

124
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if that's a low scoring game

125
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: because the quality of those two defenses, between Philadelphia's league

126
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 1: leading pass rush of seventy sacks this year and then

127
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: the Niners front seven, which just shuts it all down.

128
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 1: I don't know. If both teams get to the twenties,

129
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: I think the winner of that game's probably winning twenty seventeen.

130
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:44,599
Speaker 1: With you, I think that game is going to be

131
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: a slug fest, slabber knocker. It's all and as we've

132
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: been talking about with the I think it's all at

133
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: the at the line of scrimmage. You know, I worry

134
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 1: about Brock Purty in that one. I don't know. I

135
00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: don't worry about Brock Purdy because that shanahan and is

136
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 1: not going to put that guy at risk because he's

137
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 1: got to have him to win this game. So they're

138
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: gonna play. I think they're gonna run at that team.

139
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 1: They don't want to. You don't, you don't want to

140
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 1: drop back and let him pet rush the passer, or

141
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 1: you're gonna they're gonna have seventy five sacks. So I

142
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:18,319
Speaker 1: think I think you run right at them and just

143
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 1: play action them to death and try and get small.

144
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: Just get the ball out of Prudy's hands into those

145
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 1: guys and you know, six five, four to seven yards

146
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 1: every play is an absolutely stellar day. You know, don't

147
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: look for the big play. Just move. It's just a

148
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: one area where Philly is average sixteenth against the run,

149
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 1: twenty fourth in average yards per carry against. So I

150
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,680
Speaker 1: think they're gonna I think San Francisco is really gonna

151
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 1: test that. And the thing too is if it is

152
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 1: like we think it's gonna be where, it's gonna be

153
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 1: a low sword that'll never take the run game out

154
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: of it, you know what I mean, They'll never get

155
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: one dimensional right if if the game is close, I

156
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 1: think they'll continue to just grind it and that's just

157
00:09:56,559 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 1: wear them out. Where guys out. So I I agree

158
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:02,839
Speaker 1: with you. I think the NFC game is gonna look

159
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 1: much and feel much different than the AFC game. The

160
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 1: NFC game is first, the AFC game is second, so

161
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 1: it's gonna be it is gonna be cold in Kansas City,

162
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 1: So by the time they kick that thing off around

163
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 1: six o'clock, it's going to be about eighteen degrees. That's

164
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: gonna be chilly. WILLI shilly? Yeah, let's go around the NFL,

165
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: which is presented by Kalidah Health, the official healthcare system

166
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills. Former Jets offensive coordinator Mike Lafleur

167
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 1: has landed in Los Angeles, where he will be the

168
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 1: OC of the LA Rams. His brother, David Laflour, used

169
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 1: to work for Sean McVay. Now Mike Lafleur is gonna

170
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 1: work for Sean mcvagh in LA with the Rams. We

171
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:55,439
Speaker 1: saw late yesterday during our show Frank Reich the new

172
00:10:55,440 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: head coach of the Carolina Panthers. And I'm happy for Frank.

173
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 1: And you know that team ran the ball really well

174
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 1: down this stretch last year, and Frank knows how to

175
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 1: draw up a run game, so I'm interested to see

176
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 1: what that's gonna look like next year. Of course, they

177
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 1: have the quarterback question to answer, because I believe Sam

178
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 1: Darnold is a free agent. Even though a lot of

179
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: people down there would tell you we actually played pretty

180
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 1: well down the stretch. I don't know if he's there

181
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:31,199
Speaker 1: long term answer. So, does Frank get a quarterback in

182
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: the draft for once to trying to work with veteran

183
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 1: after veteran the last couple of years, or is he

184
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 1: gonna have yet another starting quarterback ve like Derek Carr

185
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 1: or somebody like that and parachute in again. Um. Yeah,

186
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold is a free agent. That is confirmed. And

187
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 1: we had who was it we had on this week

188
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 1: on the show said you know, don't Doug fer Yeah.

189
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 1: Doug Ferrar said, you know, don't kid yourself. After he

190
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: studied the film's Sam Darnold did not play as badly

191
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 1: as people would make it out. But I'll say this,

192
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 1: the guy that's their head coach now in Carolina knows

193
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 1: what he's looking at when he sees a good quarterback

194
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,319
Speaker 1: or a bad quarterback. The question is what's the guy

195
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 1: got left in his tank and what can his ceiling be?

196
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 1: So I think it's really interesting. I'm happy for my

197
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 1: friend Frank. I thought he deserved it. I thought what

198
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 1: happened in Indianapolis was Yes, I thought it was a

199
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: big mistake on a number of levels. So and there's

200
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: you know, so well, we'll see who comes out on

201
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 1: top this, you know, as this thing shakes out over

202
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: the next year or two or two or three years.

203
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 1: Whether Frank's a good head coach or the Colts owner

204
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: is a good owner, We'll see. I know who I'm

205
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 1: betting on. Speculation continues to swirl in New York, where

206
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 1: the Jets are desperate for a veteran quarterback, and the

207
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 1: speculation surrounds one Aaron Rodgers. The thirty nine year old

208
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 1: is taking his time to make his decision, and of

209
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 1: course the Packers have a hand in that as well

210
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 1: as to whether he's going to continue his career with

211
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 1: the only team he has ever played for in Green Bay,

212
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 1: or if he will agree to a trade. So the

213
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 1: New York tabloids are having a field day with this,

214
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 1: so much so that one reporter ran down Sauce Gardner

215
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 1: and asked him, would you mind if the Jets traded

216
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 1: for Aaron Rodgers? And Sauce said no, I wouldn't mind.

217
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: If you're a defensive player on the Jets, would you

218
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 1: mind after watching that quarterback abomination of execution this past

219
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 1: sea problem is it might take Sauce Gardner. They might

220
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 1: have been trade Sauce Gardner. They're probably looking for draft

221
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:40,959
Speaker 1: now you can trade for Aaron Rodgers. Oh you're trading me, yeah,

222
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 1: And that's what it's gonna take. It's gonna take a yeah, yeah,

223
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: a frontline player. If you're not gonna get let me

224
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 1: just this just and you're not gonna get Aaron Rodgers

225
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: for a seventh right right, you know, right? So and

226
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 1: Green Bass sitting over there going, we're not letting him

227
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 1: go for that, getting him for a song? All right?

228
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 1: So yeah, all that's on the table, and it'll be

229
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 1: interesting to see what the Jets want to do. You

230
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 1: certainly don't want to cripple his ability to be successful.

231
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 1: If you trade everything away to get him, then it

232
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 1: comes over and you're bereft of all the draft picks

233
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:16,199
Speaker 1: you just took that were so so so much complimented

234
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: by the rest of the league and you and me

235
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: even they drafted great. So what are you gonna do?

236
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 1: Give Bruce Hall to the Packers and Sauce Gardner. Yeah, well,

237
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 1: I don't think it would. I don't think they would

238
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: do that. Those are two cornerstone players on their offense

239
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 1: and defense, respectively. The Jets have some work to do

240
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 1: on their offensive line, because even three or four of

241
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 1: the guys that they had playing for them on the

242
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 1: offensive line are free agents upcoming. George Fan Connor mc govern,

243
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 1: Dan Feeney was a backup. Nate Herbig started for them.

244
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 1: He was a guard. Cedric a Boy was a guy

245
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 1: they picked up late in the year to fill because

246
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 1: they didn't have anybody healthy. What's going on with McKay Beckton?

247
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: Is that guy ever gonna play again? So they got

248
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 1: some fixing to do on the offensive line, and Aaron

249
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 1: Rodgers say what you will about him, the guy does

250
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 1: his homework, he's gonna look at that Jets roster and go,

251
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 1: you're gonna have an offensive line by August, right because

252
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 1: I'm not going there to get my head handed to

253
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 1: me right so right now, the Jets to be if

254
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 1: the Jets traded for him, they they've got the thirteenth pick.

255
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 1: Green Bay's got the fifteenth pick, so they would pick

256
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 1: thirteen and fifteen in Green Bay if they traded the

257
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 1: Jets and this year's won plus whatever else you're talking about,

258
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 1: you know, the Jets, let me think about it. The

259
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 1: Jets could say, Okay, here's what we'll do. We'll trade

260
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 1: you this year's thirteenth pick and Mackay Beckton because he's

261
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 1: a really good player, but he hasn't played for US.

262
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 1: He's been a little injured, but he's a great he's

263
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: a you know, gifted player. And let's go. I don't

264
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 1: think they're doing that, right. Would you do that? Can't

265
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 1: even control his weight? Forget about it? Would you do

266
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 1: the New York Jet? Would you do the thirteenth pick?

267
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 1: And next? And what another one next year? Or another

268
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 1: two next year? Or would they want it more urgent?

269
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 1: Would they want it wanted a two this year? Yeah?

270
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 1: Hard to say. Um, yeah, I don't even know what

271
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 1: they're going. I don't know what the compensation is for

272
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 1: a thirty nine year old quarterback who's a two time

273
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 1: MVP and is only a year removed from his last

274
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 1: MVP award. So the guy can still throw um and

275
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 1: he's right. I've said it before. He's the most accurate

276
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 1: quarterback I've ever seen in my life. The thirteenth pick

277
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: would be equal too. Oh, it's not even half of

278
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 1: what the number one overall pick would be. So if

279
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 1: you if you've got, you know, if you got, if

280
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 1: you're going buy the value chart you'd have to give

281
00:16:54,760 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 1: that and probably the Jet M two, which is forty

282
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 1: three overall, and then probably maybe at three next year

283
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:08,680
Speaker 1: or something. You spread it out. If you're the Jets,

284
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. You can't give them everything

285
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 1: this year. It's not like you don't want to do

286
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 1: a Ricky Williams trade where you trade every single draft

287
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: pick of you in your draft for one player right right,

288
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:26,880
Speaker 1: or herschel Walker trade. That's interesting. I just still don't

289
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 1: think it happens. I think Aaron likes the attention in

290
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 1: the offseason, whether he intends to really take advantage of

291
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:37,199
Speaker 1: it and leave. It happened before Brett Farve ended up

292
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 1: with the Jets at the end of his career. It

293
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 1: could the same thing could happen with Air Aaron. He

294
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:48,439
Speaker 1: could end up someplace else. What have I always what

295
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 1: have I said about the Great Ones? Brownie? It rarely

296
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 1: ends well? Right, it rarely ends well. And the Jets

297
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 1: have been down this road before. They did it with

298
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:01,680
Speaker 1: Brett Farve. That's right, Yeah, that's what I think. Yeah,

299
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 1: he went to the Jets. Well, he went to the

300
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:08,159
Speaker 1: Vikings first, but yes, then the Jets. Yeah, and he

301
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 1: was only there for one year and it was right. Well,

302
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:16,640
Speaker 1: he's it was mat It's that Aaron Rodgers can still

303
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 1: go though. You gotta I think if you're the Jets,

304
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 1: you don't want to waste any more time. I mean,

305
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,880
Speaker 1: the guy's old now, and you got to find out

306
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 1: if he's interested in it. The packers say he's on

307
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 1: the table. They'd be willing to do it if Aaron

308
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 1: wants to. It's a big cap number. May have to

309
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 1: rework some numbers, but if the Jets are in on this,

310
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:45,959
Speaker 1: of course they will. There's some you know, and it

311
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 1: may not be the Jets. It may be Carolina, or

312
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 1: it might be Miami, somebody like that. Miami has been

313
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:55,680
Speaker 1: known to pick up the phone a little too early

314
00:18:55,720 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 1: in the conversation with the collusion or the tampering that

315
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:06,160
Speaker 1: they were right find for. I don't know, Aaron Rodgers

316
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:09,439
Speaker 1: to the Jets. I'm sorry, I don't think so. I

317
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 1: just can't see it. What is your biggest stumbling block

318
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:14,920
Speaker 1: with it? What do you think? What is the biggest

319
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:18,120
Speaker 1: stumbling block for you? Aaron saying no, yeah, I don't

320
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: think aaronon wants to go anywhere. I think he wants to.

321
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 1: He saw how it went I think he he saw

322
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:28,439
Speaker 1: how it went for Russell Wilson and Denver and Brett Farve. Well, true,

323
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 1: they did get to an NFC title game in Minnesota

324
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:33,920
Speaker 1: with him and the loss to the Saints who won

325
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. Then here, m okay, I'm just saying

326
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 1: like it didn't work for Russell. Wilson said, here's the thing, Aaron, Yeah,

327
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 1: I keep calling he's just he's this wild donkey that

328
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,399
Speaker 1: doesn't he has like he's no offend and he's not married,

329
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:58,160
Speaker 1: single guy. He's like he travels and goes wherever he wants,

330
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 1: does whatever he wants, and not not held accountable by anybody.

331
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 1: He doesn't know anybody anything. He just runs his own life.

332
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 1: And and so I think he does this in the

333
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,679
Speaker 1: offseason just because he can, and there's nobody to say, hey,

334
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 1: what are you doing, make a decision, let's go. We

335
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 1: got because you got dozens and dozens of really important

336
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 1: and very wonderful people waiting on your decision. You know,

337
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 1: you got your teammates in green Bay, the front office

338
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 1: in green Bay, who you've got a probably a lifelong

339
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 1: relationship with some individuals in that organization. And you've got

340
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 1: other people on other organizations that can't move ahead. Nobody's

341
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 1: there telling him, going, hey, bro, let's go tell him

342
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 1: what's going to happen here and the longer. And here's

343
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 1: the thing. He's got to be smart enough to know

344
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 1: that the more for warning he gives teams, the better

345
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 1: it is for So if he's gonna leave, he wants

346
00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 1: that other team to know he's coming way before he

347
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 1: know what I mean, as early in the process as

348
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 1: he can, so they can start helping him. Yeah. So

349
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,919
Speaker 1: I just think that's not gonna happen. I think it's

350
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 1: I think it's a rerun. What if it does happen,

351
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:20,119
Speaker 1: Are the Jets suddenly right there with the Bills pretty close?

352
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,920
Speaker 1: It gives me pause. I'll say that they're right there.

353
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,200
Speaker 1: It gives me. It makes me pause for a moment.

354
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 1: If they get him, I think they're right there because

355
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 1: he will he will raise the level of that receiving corps,

356
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 1: and they've used high draft choices to improve it. You've

357
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:41,919
Speaker 1: got Elijah Moore, who was a second round pick at

358
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 1: Old Miss. He's a he's an emerging slot receiving target.

359
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 1: Garrett Wilson. I think it's going to be a proven

360
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 1: number one wide out by next year at a really

361
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 1: strong rookie season this year, and they still have Corey Davis,

362
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 1: who's you know, okay is a three. I guess he's

363
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 1: not great. He's okay as a three. Grease Hall's coming

364
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 1: get nicked every year. Breece Hall is back in the backfield.

365
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 1: You have Michael Carter as your pass catching back. You've

366
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 1: got Ty Conklin, who's a young tight end who's on

367
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 1: the ascent. You got to fix the offensive line. That's

368
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 1: the issue for them. They got to fix that offensive line.

369
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 1: They've tried seven ways to Sunday and none of it's worked,

370
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 1: either due to injury or guys just not panning out.

371
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,160
Speaker 1: Or here's how about this Brownie. So you're the Jets,

372
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 1: and really you need to draft some old linemen and

373
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 1: they got to come in and play. Would you be

374
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 1: more apt to say, how about this Green Bay? Instead

375
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 1: of giving you two twos or two ones, will give

376
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:50,920
Speaker 1: you two ones and a two if you don't get

377
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,159
Speaker 1: your first one until next year, not this year. We

378
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,920
Speaker 1: need our first rounder this year, you know what I mean? Right?

379
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,639
Speaker 1: I think that's the dilemma for them because they still

380
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 1: know they have some building to do on the offensive

381
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 1: side of the ball. That I think veteran quarterback is

382
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 1: firmly on their radar. Whether or not it's Rogers, I

383
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 1: think is it's because of the compensation you'd have to

384
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 1: give up to land him. That's the issue. You know,

385
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,639
Speaker 1: If you can get another veteran quarterback just as a

386
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:19,639
Speaker 1: free agent or something like that, well then it's a

387
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 1: different story, you know. Now you just have to pay

388
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 1: the money. You're not giving up assets or draft capital

389
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:30,479
Speaker 1: or players that are on your roster. Yeah, that's I

390
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 1: think it'd be really intriguing and a lot of fun

391
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 1: if Aaron Rodgers was on a different team next year.

392
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 1: No matter who it is, whether it's whether it's the Jets, Atlanta, Miami, Carolina, whatever, Houston,

393
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,919
Speaker 1: I think it's really intriguing. Certainly it probably won't be

394
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 1: Carolina because they want to take him put him outside

395
00:23:52,800 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 1: the conference, so it'll be like Miami, Houston, New York Jets. Yeah.

396
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:04,719
Speaker 1: So wonder what New England would give up to give

397
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. They could give up all their draft picks

398
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 1: because they don't know how to use them anyway. Right,

399
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 1: it's a wash. Yeah, I still cold strange. Do you

400
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 1: know what it still blows my mind. Can't believe. It

401
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 1: still blows my mind that the Patriots got Randy Moss

402
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 1: from the Raiders for a fourth round draft choice. Is

403
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,919
Speaker 1: that criminal? They got what Randy Moss in a trade

404
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 1: with the Raiders for a fourth round draft choice? Because

405
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 1: Randy Moss went to the Raiders and he stunk up

406
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 1: the joint like nothing happened. What is it about the

407
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 1: Raiders and receivers going there. I mean, Davante Adams put

408
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:43,679
Speaker 1: up numbers this year, so I guess that one worked.

409
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 1: But before that, there was a long stretch of receivers

410
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:52,440
Speaker 1: that went to the Raiders in free agency and didn't

411
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,359
Speaker 1: do anything. Randy Moss is one of them. Who's the

412
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 1: other guy I'm thinking of? Jerry Rice was at the

413
00:24:57,920 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 1: end of his career, so you knew he wasn't gonna

414
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:04,440
Speaker 1: be as productive as he was in San Francisco. I'm

415
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 1: thinking of, I just had another receiver in my head,

416
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 1: and now I just lost him that went to the

417
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 1: Raiders and did absolutely nothing after he went there, and

418
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:18,919
Speaker 1: he was a productive player, it doesn't matter. Yeah, the

419
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,160
Speaker 1: point I was trying to make was that was highway

420
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 1: robbery and fourth Yeah, Raiders, So dumb, because because we

421
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 1: paid for that, We paid for that, the bills in

422
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:37,919
Speaker 1: this division having to endure that guy. Do you remember

423
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,160
Speaker 1: the Sunday night game here fifty six to ten when

424
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:43,639
Speaker 1: he had four touchdowns in the first half thanks a

425
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:50,119
Speaker 1: lot of raiders. I remember that. God, so frustrating, really

426
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:54,920
Speaker 1: really frustrating. Um. There is an interesting report coming out

427
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:59,439
Speaker 1: of Miami Steve that tua tongue of Ioloa remains in

428
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:03,359
Speaker 1: concussion protocol and as a result, will not be participating

429
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 1: in any Pro Bowl activities. He was named a first

430
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 1: alternate for the AFC team. UM, But according to ESPN

431
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:15,800
Speaker 1: dot COM's Marcel Louis Jacques, it's a deliberate progression through

432
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 1: concussion protocol. It's not because of any setback. So let's

433
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 1: just say so here we are Conference championship weekend, still

434
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 1: in the protocol, Still in the protocol. Aaron Rodgers to

435
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:40,439
Speaker 1: Miami m Ross will still be after Brady, right, he

436
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:45,160
Speaker 1: may still be an amoric with Brady, you know, UM,

437
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:50,440
Speaker 1: I don't know. Here's another interesting development. So Shay Tierney,

438
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 1: who was an offensive assistant here under Brian Dabele on

439
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 1: the offensive side of the ball, went with Brian dable

440
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:02,159
Speaker 1: to New York Giants, where he was promoted to a

441
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:04,680
Speaker 1: quarterback coaching position. We all know the good year that

442
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:08,159
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones had for the Giants. Shay Tierney apparently is

443
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 1: getting some credit for that. He is going to interview

444
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:14,120
Speaker 1: with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for their vacant offensive coordinator position.

445
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,359
Speaker 1: Tierney has worked with day Bles since his days at

446
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:20,680
Speaker 1: Alabama as the OC, and then he came up to

447
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 1: Buffalo with him from Alabama. Now he's in New York

448
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 1: with him at the Giants as the quarterbacks coach. He

449
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 1: is getting interviewed in Tampa for their vacant OC job

450
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 1: after Byron left, which was fired down there. So we'll

451
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:37,639
Speaker 1: see how that goes. Good luck to Shay. He's a

452
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 1: good guy when he was here so on. Isn't it

453
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 1: amazing how some of these young assistants catch fire and

454
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, it's like, WHOA that guy?

455
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 1: He went from offensive assistant to quarterbacks coach to offensive

456
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 1: coordinator in three seasons. That's an impressive ascent, you know,

457
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 1: as an assistant coach in this and it happens fast.

458
00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 1: It happens when you get a guy that he does

459
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:04,919
Speaker 1: work with he works with on the same staff with

460
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. Then he works on the same staff where

461
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:09,679
Speaker 1: they get the most out of a guy like Daniel Jones,

462
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 1: and he starts getting some credit and some of the

463
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 1: guys above him starts saying, yeah, this is the guy. Yeah,

464
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 1: it happens fast, it happens fat, particularly when you do

465
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:23,159
Speaker 1: it with different entity, different bills like Bills then and

466
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:27,399
Speaker 1: then the giants. Yeah, I mean I see it happening.

467
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 1: But you know, these these hiring cycles are always fraught

468
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:35,879
Speaker 1: with biases and and preconceived notions, so you kind of

469
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 1: got to watch out for that. But you know these

470
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 1: sometimes these teams decide who they're gonna draft, who they're

471
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 1: gonna hire next, before they even fire the guy that's

472
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 1: on the staff now, and they still got to go

473
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 1: through the process. We are going to take a break here,

474
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 1: but a reminder that the obl Fan Friday mail bag

475

486
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 1: Any questions on the Bills, the league at large, fire away.

487
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 1: We'll get to the tweet sheet in a second. First

488
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 1: we go to the phones, and leading us off today

489
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 1: is Larry and Williamsville. What do you got for us?

490
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 1: Larry or on one Bills Live. Three things, guys. First

491
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 1: of all, last year, the following previous season, Gabe Davis

492
00:29:56,400 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 1: caught four consecutive tds and then he also caught the

493
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 1: first touchdown of this past season. And I never heard

494
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 1: anything whether or not that was an NFL or Bill's

495
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 1: record catching five consecutive touchdown passes. So I didn't know

496
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 1: if you've heard something or would look into that, because

497
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 1: I was curious about that. Secondly, concerning the new stadium,

498
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 1: it kind of bothers me that they're changing the setup

499
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 1: of the stadium to a north south direction instead of

500
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 1: the current east west direction. And the reason I question

501
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 1: that is in a north south direction, the sun is

502
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 1: going to be directly into the receiver's eyes when they're

503
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:45,479
Speaker 1: running north looking back to the south, and that doesn't

504
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 1: happen now in the current stadium. And I wondered if

505
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:51,480
Speaker 1: ron Rikua or any of the people looking at the

506
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 1: new stadium have even considered that, or they've gone over

507
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 1: there with the receivers and thrown passes to see if

508
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 1: the sun might affect the play of the game. And finally,

509
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 1: I'm thinking that since each team every other year now

510
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 1: gets a ninth home game, I'm wondering if instead of

511
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 1: just giving teams the ninth home game, if the league

512
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 1: might consider changing that to the team's record for the

513
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 1: previous years, so the teams with a sixteen best records

514
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 1: would then get the extra home game. So in the

515
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 1: last game of the season it's a division game, you

516
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 1: might have more to play for because you might be

517
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 1: able to get an extra home game because your record

518
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 1: was in the top sixteen. That's it, guys, all right,

519
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 1: thanks Larry, long list there. We'll try to get to

520
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 1: each and every one of them. As for the Gabe

521
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 1: Davis from whether that's a record or not. We'll have

522
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 1: to check. Very often records are kept regular season and

523
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 1: postseason and they're separate, and what you're proposing would bridge

524
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 1: those two things postseason from the previous year to first

525
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 1: game of the regular season the next year. So that

526
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:03,959
Speaker 1: might be a little tough to find, but we'll do

527
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 1: some digging and see if we can't get an answer

528
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 1: for you. Second thing was starting the stadium alignment. Yes,

529
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 1: they have done all those, They know exactly what it's

530
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 1: going to look like. I would imagine I would be

531
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 1: shocked if they didn't put a lot of thought into

532
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 1: the angle of the stadium. And I think the other

533
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 1: thing to consider too is this is not going to

534
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 1: be a stadium that's built half below ground, as the

535
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 1: lower bowl is in the existing stadium. This is going

536
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:33,560
Speaker 1: to be all above ground for the most part, and

537
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 1: I think the outer shell of the stadium is going

538
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 1: to be significantly higher. And we also know that sixty

539
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 1: five percent of the seats are going to be covered,

540
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 1: so there's going to be a larger canopy, which would

541
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 1: limit the amount of sunlight coming into the stadium as well.

542
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 1: So whether or not that's enough to keep the sun

543
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 1: out of player's eyes I'm not going to pretend to

544
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 1: know that, but I would like to think that every

545
00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 1: t has been crossed and every eye has been dotted.

546
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 1: Would just is no perfect stadium out there, but I

547
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 1: think they've done everything in their power to make sure

548
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 1: it is. I'm opposed to that. As I was reminded today,

549
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter anyway, because the sun doesn't shine in Buffalo.

550
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 1: That's right. We've got three sunny days in the last month,

551
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 1: So there you go. I'm teasing man oh man the

552
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 1: thing about the ninth home game, and I like it.

553
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 1: Giving a reward for the ninth home game, it's interesting.

554
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 1: I like it. I know that what the league has

555
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 1: done to foster more competitive games at the end of

556
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 1: the regular season is to cram division games down there

557
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 1: at the end of the schedule, so you're usually jockeying

558
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:39,680
Speaker 1: for position in your division. You need to win those

559
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 1: games instead of some of the throwaway games with players sitting,

560
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 1: starters resting when they have playoff seats locked up in

561
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 1: the like as we saw in recent years prior to

562
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 1: that schedule change. I suppose a reward system could help

563
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:54,959
Speaker 1: in that vein as well. If you wanted to go

564
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:57,880
Speaker 1: that route. I'm not convinced the league would do that,

565
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 1: only because the schedule on the surface is rotational in nature,

566
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 1: and that ninth home game is also rotational. So knowing

567
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 1: that more often than not it's conference based in terms

568
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 1: of who hosts and who's away, because you're basically playing

569
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 1: an interconference game. For that ninth home game for the Bills,

570
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:27,799
Speaker 1: that'll be the Tampa game. I don't know if they

571
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 1: go there. I like the idea, I just don't know

572
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:34,400
Speaker 1: if they feel it's necessary. Yeah, it'd be hard to

573
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 1: get it done. I mean there'd be nine teams at

574
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 1: eight and nine are better in the AFC. Well, I

575
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:43,440
Speaker 1: see eight teams that are nine and eight are better,

576
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 1: and there are eight teams that are nine or eight

577
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:51,080
Speaker 1: or better in the NFC, So it would be a

578
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 1: line of demarcation this year. Nine win teams in both

579
00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 1: conferences would be the ones who get the extra home game.

580
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 1: I think that the teams at the bottom would consider

581
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:07,759
Speaker 1: that a penalty and they would then say, how are

582
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:09,799
Speaker 1: we expected to get better if we can't get that

583
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:12,880
Speaker 1: extra home game in the first place. I think there

584
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:16,839
Speaker 1: would be a there would be complaints on that where

585
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:20,359
Speaker 1: there would be more incentive to get better, well, right,

586
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:23,400
Speaker 1: but part of getting better is a perceived home field advantage.

587
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 1: You know, it makes it easier to win a football game.

588
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 1: So I don't know. I don't hate the idea. I

589
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:31,839
Speaker 1: just think it's a slippery slope and I think you'll

590
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 1: get enough pushback where it wouldn't happen. I don't know.

591
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 1: I like it. I do like it. I think it's great.

592
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:40,279
Speaker 1: It might get skewed some years where the AFC has

593
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 1: ten teams in the NFC has six, I don't know.

594
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 1: You'd have to go back and look at different years.

595
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:49,120
Speaker 1: I think it complicates how to schedule everything too, because

596
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:54,040
Speaker 1: next year it's the AFC getting the extra home game, right,

597
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:57,759
Speaker 1: don't they switch it by conference? That's how they do it, right,

598
00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:01,480
Speaker 1: So I don't think they want to muddy the waters

599
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:04,080
Speaker 1: even more and make the schedule maker's job even harder.

600
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:08,919
Speaker 1: If from last year it would be teams that were, yeah,

601
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:14,720
Speaker 1: there were ten teams in the AFC that we're nine

602
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:18,160
Speaker 1: wins are better, and there were eight teams in the

603
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:20,239
Speaker 1: NFC that we're nine wins are better. So you'd have

604
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:22,240
Speaker 1: some tie breaking to do there, But that it seems

605
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:24,279
Speaker 1: to be it'd be pretty pretty evenly split, at least

606
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 1: in the last two or two years. Twenty twenty kind

607
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 1: of the same thing. There's eight teams that have ten

608
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 1: wins and six teams that have ten wins in the NFCC.

609
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:38,719
Speaker 1: It's just not gonna fly because these other teams is

610
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:41,480
Speaker 1: gonna be like, so we because we're struggling right now

611
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:43,440
Speaker 1: and I don't have a franchise quarterback. I'm only going

612
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:45,919
Speaker 1: to host eight home games the rest of the rest

613
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:48,960
Speaker 1: of my days. Like what the hell? And I understand

614
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 1: you say, well, just get better then, um, I just

615
00:36:54,280 --> 00:37:00,439
Speaker 1: I see too much pushback on it. It's just one game, Yeah, game,

616
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:02,839
Speaker 1: I know what you're saying. That's an incentive, I think,

617
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:05,839
Speaker 1: plus teams complaining about it, where it does give you,

618
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:11,480
Speaker 1: it does give you some incentive, the incentive, it widens

619
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:13,440
Speaker 1: the incentive at the end of the season when you

620
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:16,920
Speaker 1: got that that it means something if even if it's

621
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 1: not even if you're not a playoff team, right it

622
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:23,719
Speaker 1: could it inconceivably could mean something. I love the incentive.

623
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:26,279
Speaker 1: That's why I think it's a nice idea. I think

624
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:28,719
Speaker 1: you need to incentivize winning. That's all there is to it.

625
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:30,759
Speaker 1: And that's just one way to do it. I get it,

626
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 1: and it does, and it is one place. It is

627
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:35,680
Speaker 1: kind of counterintuitive to what the NFL has always been.

628
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:38,520
Speaker 1: The good teams. They make it harder on the good teams,

629
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:40,720
Speaker 1: easier on the bad teams. Maybe we should do it

630
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 1: the reverse. The worst teams have people tanking to get

631
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:49,440
Speaker 1: an extra home game, right exactly. That's the problem, that's right.

632
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:54,880
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, it's it's a slippery slope. It's a slippery slope.

633
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:56,719
Speaker 1: I like the idea though, it was it was it

634
00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:59,839
Speaker 1: was creative, that's for sure, definitely creative because I had

635
00:37:59,880 --> 00:38:02,920
Speaker 1: not heard that before. So good on you. Let's get

636
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:05,719
Speaker 1: back to the phones and we go to Jerry and Tonawanda.

637
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:10,120
Speaker 1: Next we got for us. Jerry, Well, I'm just wondering

638
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:13,400
Speaker 1: if the running game in the NFL has become something

639
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 1: in the past over the last four or five years.

640
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:19,280
Speaker 1: It seems like not only the NFL, but the Bills

641
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:21,960
Speaker 1: are a past happy team. And I was just wondering

642
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:26,080
Speaker 1: if that's a poor ten of the future, or maybe

643
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:28,840
Speaker 1: it's just because they don't have any quality running backs anymore.

644
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:32,399
Speaker 1: So that's that's really what happened to the running game

645
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:35,799
Speaker 1: in the NFL's Yes, it's obsolete. I don't want it's

646
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 1: already happened. Yes, we're already there. That every most of

647
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:40,880
Speaker 1: the team, most of the top teams in the league

648
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:43,399
Speaker 1: throw at sixty percent of the time, and I mean

649
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:45,319
Speaker 1: throw at sixty percent of time and run at forty

650
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 1: percent of the time more if not more than that. So, yes,

651
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:53,239
Speaker 1: you're right, Jerry, it's the running game is not is

652
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:56,719
Speaker 1: not as important as it once was. The running back

653
00:38:56,840 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 1: position has been devalued across the league. Teams are vilified

654
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:03,560
Speaker 1: for taking a guy in the first round these days.

655
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:08,239
Speaker 1: If they do, he'd better be really really good, I

656
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:11,680
Speaker 1: mean really good. And then teams are like the Giants

657
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:15,120
Speaker 1: are forced to build things around a running back and

658
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 1: struggle with an okay quarterback. So it's and Tennessee with

659
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry, they were really good. They were the one

660
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:25,919
Speaker 1: seed just a year ago, and they were one one

661
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:29,000
Speaker 1: game and done in the playoffs. They couldn't win a

662
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:33,920
Speaker 1: game in the playoffs. So the running game it has become,

663
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:36,000
Speaker 1: and I think particularly at the level of the NFL

664
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 1: is now with the quality of the defenses that are fielded,

665
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:46,880
Speaker 1: the running game is not so much about being big physical,

666
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:51,959
Speaker 1: nasty defense, big huge guys. Although obviously it's important it's

667
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 1: run fits. They do it technically, guys are in the

668
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:57,959
Speaker 1: right spot at the right time. There's just no place

669
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:01,200
Speaker 1: to run. It's hard to do unless you really have big,

670
00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:03,399
Speaker 1: huge guys who can dominate, and those are hard to find.

671
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:05,080
Speaker 1: It's hard to put five of those guys on the field.

672
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 1: So yeah, the running games, it costs you too much

673
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:17,399
Speaker 1: to make it work consistently and really good. And if

674
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:20,640
Speaker 1: you spend your assets to get that done, you can't

675
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:22,920
Speaker 1: keep up on the scoreboard in too many games because

676
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:25,239
Speaker 1: the other team can sling it. That's the main thing.

677
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 1: The dawn of analytics proved definitively that passing the ball

678
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:38,080
Speaker 1: is far more efficient and caters more effectively to scoring

679
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:42,120
Speaker 1: more points and improving your win probability than a run play.

680
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:46,520
Speaker 1: It is significantly more efficient. Analytics prove that, and the

681
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:48,920
Speaker 1: rest of the league followed, and that's why we are

682
00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:51,840
Speaker 1: already there. So it's not something Jerry that just happened.

683
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 1: We've already been there for the last five to eight years,

684
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 1: and it's only going to get more and more that way,

685
00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:02,440
Speaker 1: one more quarterbacks capable of running offenses and leading offenses

686
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 1: becomes more prevalent. There's a couple of things working on

687
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:08,920
Speaker 1: it too that that made it get there. One, obviously,

688
00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:12,440
Speaker 1: is the rules against how you can play defense skewed

689
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:15,120
Speaker 1: towards the end, so it gives guys more opportunities to

690
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:19,160
Speaker 1: run free in the secondary. Two, pass rushing protecting the

691
00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:24,400
Speaker 1: quarterbacks is another one, of course. But three is the

692
00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:26,800
Speaker 1: fact that back in the old days, I mean you

693
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:31,239
Speaker 1: go back and look at Joe Namath, Steve Grogan, these

694
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:34,040
Speaker 1: guys in the seventies, they'd take a snap and they

695
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:36,840
Speaker 1: just turn around and they just backpedal out of the

696
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:39,640
Speaker 1: out from behind center. They just backpedal and start looking

697
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:42,200
Speaker 1: around right, and they drop back and they you know,

698
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:44,000
Speaker 1: sling and the guys are running all the way down

699
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:47,279
Speaker 1: the field. And then Bill Walsh came into the into

700
00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:50,040
Speaker 1: the equation and ran that West Coast offense where Joe

701
00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:53,919
Speaker 1: Montana would take three steps, three choreograph steps, turn and

702
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:56,240
Speaker 1: boom it's out. Jerry Rice catches it on a slant

703
00:41:56,520 --> 00:42:02,800
Speaker 1: catching run the run. The passing became sort accurate, quick release,

704
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:07,600
Speaker 1: hard to sack the guy, impossible to defend. You give

705
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 1: receivers different routes on the same call. They could either

706
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:12,640
Speaker 1: run inside or outside, depending on where the defender is.

707
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:14,919
Speaker 1: They just run away from the defender, just say get open,

708
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:18,840
Speaker 1: and that's really hard to defend. So it became more

709
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:23,960
Speaker 1: and more and more common for every quarterback to complete

710
00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 1: two thirds of his passes. And when you do that

711
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:33,319
Speaker 1: on a three down series, it's a first down. So

712
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:37,800
Speaker 1: the game evolved very quickly. When you start getting quarterbacks,

713
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:40,120
Speaker 1: you can just you know, they take that three step

714
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:42,480
Speaker 1: drop or a five step drop, the hitch it and go.

715
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:44,880
Speaker 1: You know, you hit it and you let it go

716
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:47,200
Speaker 1: and the guy's turning away from a defender and then

717
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:50,480
Speaker 1: it's easy throw. So you know, all that stuff coupled together.

718
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:54,360
Speaker 1: And yeah, I'm sorry, but the running game is is

719
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:57,560
Speaker 1: an audios. Yeah, it'll always be there. There'll be fewer

720
00:42:57,600 --> 00:42:59,680
Speaker 1: and fewer a thousand yard rushers because there's gonna be

721
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:02,000
Speaker 1: more and more committee back fields. We see it here

722
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:05,600
Speaker 1: in Buffalo, having had a thousand yard rusher in a while.

723
00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:08,399
Speaker 1: We have to take a break though when we come back.

724

Speaker 1: official equipment moving company of the Buffalo Bills. Four Question

733
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:03,520
Speaker 1: number one from Vince. How does Brandon Bean retool the

734
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:06,080
Speaker 1: old line to protect Josh, provide an upgrade in the

735
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:08,640
Speaker 1: run game, and also add a weapon or two Based

736
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:11,920
Speaker 1: on salary cap constraints, It seems like a tall task

737
00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:17,160
Speaker 1: considering all the other needs this team has. Valid question, Vince,

738
00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:21,279
Speaker 1: valid question. I think the draft comes into play here.

739
00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:25,360
Speaker 1: You need cheap labor a wide receiver and offensive line,

740
00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:27,799
Speaker 1: and cheap labor is found in the draft where you

741
00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:32,040
Speaker 1: pay guys on rookie contracts, and that's one way to

742
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:34,600
Speaker 1: do it. The other way, which we've seen Brandon Bean

743
00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:38,480
Speaker 1: due before Steve is one year contracts. Yeah, they'll do

744
00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:40,560
Speaker 1: it again. They did it this last year. Both guards

745
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:42,480
Speaker 1: were different this year coming into this year than they

746
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:46,800
Speaker 1: were last year. They brought in greg Van Roten Van Roten,

747
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:52,640
Speaker 1: Kessonberry Roger Saffold were three new additions. Greg N's was

748
00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:58,360
Speaker 1: another guy. Also, Bates was new to the equation from

749
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:00,520
Speaker 1: a year ago, although he moved in and was there

750
00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:04,040
Speaker 1: when like Budker got hurt. So you had all of

751
00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:06,080
Speaker 1: that going on this last year as well, And they'll

752
00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:10,399
Speaker 1: do that again, I said it, and I'm gone back

753
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:11,879
Speaker 1: and really looked at it. But I remember having these

754
00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:14,360
Speaker 1: conversations at the end of last year. We knew that

755
00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:15,879
Speaker 1: there was a number of guys that they were gonna

756
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:19,040
Speaker 1: have to sign. You know, Milano was a Milano. Last year.

757
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:23,839
Speaker 1: They released Feliciano and they released Darryl Williams right, which

758
00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:27,600
Speaker 1: created even more holes. Right, and then they had they

759
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:30,560
Speaker 1: were capped constrained as well, and we thought, well, they're

760
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:32,200
Speaker 1: gonna have to draft some people and do all this.

761
00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:35,480
Speaker 1: And then they got it done. Not only they get

762
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:38,120
Speaker 1: it done, they extended Josh Allen and they signed von

763
00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:41,920
Speaker 1: Miller under the same circumstances that were kind of like

764
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:44,400
Speaker 1: they are right now. They need to retool their offensive line.

765
00:45:47,480 --> 00:45:49,799
Speaker 1: So I'm you know, I'm fully confident they're gonna they're

766
00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:52,320
Speaker 1: gonna rerun it and maybe not with the same guys,

767
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:56,359
Speaker 1: but the same plan. And and like I always say,

768
00:45:57,000 --> 00:45:59,000
Speaker 1: if they get the right players, they'll be fine, but

769
00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:01,799
Speaker 1: they're gonna be some new players. Last year, it was

770
00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:03,919
Speaker 1: hard to say goodbye to that team last year after

771
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:06,040
Speaker 1: that loss in Kansas City, it was really difficult to

772
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:08,160
Speaker 1: say goodbye to those guys because that was a great team,

773
00:46:08,239 --> 00:46:10,680
Speaker 1: special team, fun way to end it, except that, you know,

774
00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:13,400
Speaker 1: for the tragedy that was thirteen seconds, all of that stuff,

775
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:16,000
Speaker 1: and it felt like and we knew that they were

776
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:18,239
Speaker 1: going to have to make some significant changes. It's the

777
00:46:18,280 --> 00:46:20,600
Speaker 1: exact same thing this year, except now you've got von

778
00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:23,879
Speaker 1: Miller and Josh Allen extended, you got all these other

779
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:26,279
Speaker 1: you know you're gonna have to sign that now this year.

780
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:30,920
Speaker 1: It might be Tremaine Edmonds, it might be poorer, it

781
00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:33,439
Speaker 1: might be somebody, you know what I mean. So all

782
00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:36,720
Speaker 1: that stuff is on the table, and it's different names,

783
00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:38,680
Speaker 1: same situation as they were in a year ago, and

784
00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:41,400
Speaker 1: I imagine they're going to navigate it the exact same way.

785
00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:45,400
Speaker 1: Nick asks. I know the Damar incident was a turning point,

786
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:47,279
Speaker 1: but I think an even bigger turning point was the

787
00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:49,919
Speaker 1: bye week after we beat Kansas City and went into

788
00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:52,600
Speaker 1: the bye. We never looked the same again. What happened

789
00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:56,399
Speaker 1: after that week that prevented us from playing complete games

790
00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:59,040
Speaker 1: like we did in the beginning of the season. Well,

791
00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:03,000
Speaker 1: one of the problems was Josh Allen, a week after

792
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:06,719
Speaker 1: that Packers game, injured his elbow, and as he told

793
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:09,360
Speaker 1: us in his season rapp up press conference earlier this week,

794
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:11,879
Speaker 1: it really didn't feel good until the last two games

795
00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:15,160
Speaker 1: that he played against Miami and Cincinnati. So that was

796
00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:17,200
Speaker 1: a factor number one, and I think it was evident

797
00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:20,120
Speaker 1: it was proven in the way that the Bills approached

798
00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:22,759
Speaker 1: offense the next few weeks. After that game against the

799
00:47:22,840 --> 00:47:25,879
Speaker 1: Jets in Week nine, they went to a much more conservative,

800
00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:29,360
Speaker 1: short passing game, leaned on the run even more, to

801
00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:31,439
Speaker 1: the point where there were two or three games where

802
00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:35,600
Speaker 1: they had more rushing attempts than pass attempts. And if

803
00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:38,480
Speaker 1: you noticed and you got to the stadium early enough,

804
00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:42,000
Speaker 1: Josh wasn't going out for warmups during that point in time,

805
00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:46,000
Speaker 1: didn't throw a single pass in warmups, and then would

806
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:49,000
Speaker 1: come out for the beginning of the game, take about

807
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:51,120
Speaker 1: five to ten warm up throws, and then play the game.

808
00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:54,680
Speaker 1: So that was a major factor. The other major factor

809
00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:59,200
Speaker 1: was injuries. You had him here, there, and everywhere on

810
00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:02,919
Speaker 1: both sides of the ball, and it compromised the availability

811
00:48:02,920 --> 00:48:06,320
Speaker 1: and depth of the roster. You know, people talk about

812
00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:09,240
Speaker 1: losing von Miller on Thanksgiving. You also lost Jordan Phillips,

813
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:12,080
Speaker 1: who I would argue is your best interior pass rusher.

814
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:14,319
Speaker 1: So you lost your best edge rusher and your best

815
00:48:14,360 --> 00:48:16,879
Speaker 1: interior rusher who yeah he was still playing, but he's

816
00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:20,359
Speaker 1: playing with one arm. Yeah, torn rotator cuff. Guy had

817
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:22,279
Speaker 1: his arm and a harness every week. You can't play

818
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:24,440
Speaker 1: on the line with one arm. I mean, it's valiant

819
00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:27,040
Speaker 1: effort that he did it, but he wasn't the same player.

820
00:48:27,640 --> 00:48:30,279
Speaker 1: And you know, those were all mitigating factors I think

821
00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:34,680
Speaker 1: to me, and you're right, Josh's elbow. The injuries were

822
00:48:34,719 --> 00:48:39,920
Speaker 1: a huge problem. I would say even more so the

823
00:48:40,160 --> 00:48:42,319
Speaker 1: way it manifested itself. Here's what it looks. And you

824
00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:44,880
Speaker 1: can know, everybody says the offensive line, and no, it was.

825
00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:47,840
Speaker 1: It was one thing and one thing only that caused

826
00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:52,040
Speaker 1: this offense to look like it was sputtering. One turnovers,

827
00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:55,399
Speaker 1: that red zone turnovers after they started too right after

828
00:48:55,400 --> 00:48:57,840
Speaker 1: the bye week. The red zone turnovers it was your turnovers.

829
00:48:57,880 --> 00:49:00,239
Speaker 1: They fumbled it away and Josh threw it to the

830
00:49:00,239 --> 00:49:03,040
Speaker 1: other team and they got tipped interception, all of that stuff.

831
00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:06,600
Speaker 1: It was turnovers that did it. That was the Achilles

832
00:49:06,640 --> 00:49:08,800
Speaker 1: heel that made this team look like it was stumbling.

833
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:11,320
Speaker 1: They would turn into it and I said it there was.

834
00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:15,080
Speaker 1: This team is so good. So you can talk about

835
00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:17,320
Speaker 1: the offensive line getting killed at the line of crimage.

836
00:49:17,320 --> 00:49:20,839
Speaker 1: They were so good. They were turning it over three

837
00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:23,480
Speaker 1: times and going four and one in those games. You

838
00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:25,760
Speaker 1: just don't do that in the NFL. Not in the NFL.

839
00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:29,600
Speaker 1: This team was really good. The thing that caused them

840
00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:33,360
Speaker 1: to sputter was something that is incredibly easy to fix.

841
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:37,840
Speaker 1: It was turnovers. Turnovers is what made this team sputter.

842
00:49:38,560 --> 00:49:42,160
Speaker 1: They almost got beat by a horrible Patriots team in

843
00:49:42,200 --> 00:49:45,640
Speaker 1: Week eighteen because they turned it over, and they almost

844
00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:47,640
Speaker 1: got beat by a Jet team when they turned it

845
00:49:47,680 --> 00:49:49,520
Speaker 1: over in the playoff or I mean the Dolphins team

846
00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:51,319
Speaker 1: would get in the playoffs because they turned it over

847
00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:53,680
Speaker 1: and they lost to a Jet and they lost us

848
00:49:53,680 --> 00:49:56,000
Speaker 1: they turned it over in Week nine. That's right. That

849
00:49:56,239 --> 00:50:01,280
Speaker 1: is the absolute, single biggest reason why this team sputtered.

850
00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:03,920
Speaker 1: And there was a stretch where Josh had nine turnovers

851
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:07,239
Speaker 1: in a five week span and seven of them were

852
00:50:07,239 --> 00:50:10,040
Speaker 1: in the red zone, and this team still finished second

853
00:50:10,040 --> 00:50:14,120
Speaker 1: in scoring. Think about that. They're really good and the

854
00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:18,080
Speaker 1: turnovers is what if they'd cut them in half, not

855
00:50:18,160 --> 00:50:19,759
Speaker 1: even got rid of all of them, just cut them

856
00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:23,319
Speaker 1: in half. It's a very different conversation everybody's having. We

857
00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:25,400
Speaker 1: got to take a break here because when we come back,

858
00:50:26,040 --> 00:50:28,600
Speaker 1: our number two on a Friday can mean only one thing.

859
00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:32,760
Speaker 1: Senior producer from NFL Films, Greg co Sell. We'll talk

860
00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:36,399
Speaker 1: post mortem Bills, but we'll also talk conference championship game

861
00:50:36,440 --> 00:50:40,120
Speaker 1: matchups and where he sees the edges in each of

862
00:50:40,160 --> 00:50:42,600
Speaker 1: those games on Sunday, Great co Sell coming your way

863
00:50:42,600 --> 00:50:56,480
Speaker 1: next here on one Bill's Live. Stay tuned. All right,

864
00:50:56,520 --> 00:50:58,319
Speaker 1: Here we are our number two on One Bills Live.

865
00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:00,360
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you, and you know what

866
00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:03,120
Speaker 1: that means on a Friday means we're joined by senior

867
00:51:03,160 --> 00:51:06,080
Speaker 1: producer from NFL Films, also co hosts of ESPN's NFL

868
00:51:06,160 --> 00:51:10,280
Speaker 1: Matchup Show. It is Greg co Sell joining us. Greg,

869
00:51:10,280 --> 00:51:12,920
Speaker 1: how are you doing? You're ready for these Conference championship games?

870
00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:16,480
Speaker 1: I believe I am. Yeah, I'm sure, and Philly they

871
00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:20,319
Speaker 1: probably started tellgating about four days ago, So yeah, I guess,

872
00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:23,959
Speaker 1: I guess, I'm ready. Yeah. Yeah. Let's let's begin, though,

873
00:51:24,280 --> 00:51:26,920
Speaker 1: with the playoff loss that the Bill suffered in the

874
00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:31,320
Speaker 1: Divisional round last week. And we know that the defense

875
00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:35,360
Speaker 1: was just not with it in that game, blown coverages

876
00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:39,560
Speaker 1: on each of the first two touchdowns by Cincinnati. But

877
00:51:39,680 --> 00:51:44,320
Speaker 1: what about Buffalo's offense? Why do you think they spun

878
00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:49,600
Speaker 1: their wheels as much as they did? You know, it's

879
00:51:49,600 --> 00:51:54,440
Speaker 1: an interesting question because in some ways you could argue

880
00:51:54,520 --> 00:51:57,040
Speaker 1: that they that they didn't in some ways, I mean,

881
00:51:57,120 --> 00:51:59,680
Speaker 1: I think they played the way that they played Brownie.

882
00:52:00,120 --> 00:52:03,080
Speaker 1: You know, we've talked at time throughout this season the

883
00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:06,879
Speaker 1: fact that they know the old line is probably needs

884
00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:10,080
Speaker 1: an upgrade in certain areas. They don't really run the

885
00:52:10,120 --> 00:52:13,360
Speaker 1: ball with any kind of volume or consistency. There have

886
00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:15,760
Speaker 1: been games where the run game has been a factor,

887
00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:17,760
Speaker 1: but it's not really the way in which they play.

888
00:52:18,640 --> 00:52:21,120
Speaker 1: So it's really an offense that's built on the ability

889
00:52:21,120 --> 00:52:23,320
Speaker 1: of Josh Allen to make plays, and it's kind of

890
00:52:23,360 --> 00:52:25,839
Speaker 1: a tribute to him that they've been able to win

891
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:29,680
Speaker 1: so many games playing that way Because it's hard to

892
00:52:29,719 --> 00:52:32,640
Speaker 1: play that way, to be honest, where you're you're expecting

893
00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:35,319
Speaker 1: your quarterback just to do it every week. And I think,

894
00:52:35,440 --> 00:52:37,600
Speaker 1: you know, I was thinking about this since they lost

895
00:52:37,640 --> 00:52:41,360
Speaker 1: that game. I think in some ways we became mesmerized

896
00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:43,799
Speaker 1: by what Josh Allen did in the playoffs last year.

897
00:52:44,440 --> 00:52:48,280
Speaker 1: Those two games were superhuman. They can't happen all the time,

898
00:52:48,640 --> 00:52:51,520
Speaker 1: but they were so so good that I think we

899
00:52:51,640 --> 00:52:55,400
Speaker 1: started to believe, probably many of us, that this is

900
00:52:55,440 --> 00:52:58,800
Speaker 1: just going to happen pretty regularly. And that's really hard,

901
00:52:59,239 --> 00:53:03,520
Speaker 1: you know. Um, you know, Let's say, let's say, for instance,

902
00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:07,080
Speaker 1: that Josh had hit Diggs on third and ten late

903
00:53:07,120 --> 00:53:09,920
Speaker 1: in the second quarter of second reaction movement where he

904
00:53:10,040 --> 00:53:12,399
Speaker 1: left the throw just a little bit wide. I'm sure

905
00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:15,879
Speaker 1: you remember the play, right, It's a play we've seen

906
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:20,680
Speaker 1: him make many times, correct, Yeah, sure, yeah, and he

907
00:53:20,840 --> 00:53:22,759
Speaker 1: just missed it by you know too, you know, a

908
00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:27,520
Speaker 1: foot or two. If he makes that throw, it changes

909
00:53:27,560 --> 00:53:29,640
Speaker 1: the whole game. And I'm not saying they win the game.

910
00:53:29,680 --> 00:53:32,920
Speaker 1: No one knows what would have been happened, but that

911
00:53:32,960 --> 00:53:36,439
Speaker 1: could have changed was that the drive they ended with

912
00:53:37,440 --> 00:53:41,000
Speaker 1: uh any points? First there was no points and they

913
00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:42,680
Speaker 1: I think it was the first drive of the game,

914
00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:47,600
Speaker 1: and it was the first in the second quarter. Yeah,

915
00:53:47,719 --> 00:53:50,120
Speaker 1: late in the second quarter. Um. But the point is,

916
00:53:50,719 --> 00:53:54,680
Speaker 1: in some ways they played kind of Bills football and

917
00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:58,440
Speaker 1: they just missed some opportunities. Look Davis obviously, on that

918
00:53:58,520 --> 00:54:02,560
Speaker 1: long throw going the left sideline that was in the

919
00:54:02,560 --> 00:54:05,160
Speaker 1: second half, I know that for sure he could have

920
00:54:05,239 --> 00:54:09,319
Speaker 1: caught that ball. You know. So in many ways, as

921
00:54:09,320 --> 00:54:10,960
Speaker 1: I kind of watched that game and I went through

922
00:54:10,960 --> 00:54:13,120
Speaker 1: it twice on that side of the ball, you could

923
00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:15,480
Speaker 1: argue that they kind of played the way they normally

924
00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:19,280
Speaker 1: play and you know, for whatever reason, it just didn't

925
00:54:19,280 --> 00:54:21,520
Speaker 1: work in that game. Now that raises a larger question

926
00:54:21,800 --> 00:54:25,640
Speaker 1: about whether they need to sort of change their approach offensively,

927
00:54:25,920 --> 00:54:29,120
Speaker 1: and that's a discussion that you know, Brandon Bean and

928
00:54:29,320 --> 00:54:31,520
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott and others are going to have to have

929
00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:34,600
Speaker 1: as they self evaluate in this offseason. Yeah, that's that's

930
00:54:34,680 --> 00:54:36,920
Speaker 1: kind of the follow up question. I mean, they're number

931
00:54:36,920 --> 00:54:40,200
Speaker 1: two in scoring, right, and they did that through a

932
00:54:40,239 --> 00:54:42,160
Speaker 1: season where Brann and I were just talking about they

933
00:54:42,160 --> 00:54:44,040
Speaker 1: turned it over like it was their job in the

934
00:54:44,080 --> 00:54:46,960
Speaker 1: second half of the season and still managed to go

935
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:51,319
Speaker 1: on an eight game winning streak. Why. I mean, if

936
00:54:51,320 --> 00:54:53,279
Speaker 1: you're gonna change something, just don't turn it over and

937
00:54:53,360 --> 00:54:57,040
Speaker 1: keep going, right. I mean that it seems crazy to

938
00:54:57,120 --> 00:55:01,600
Speaker 1: change that formula. Yeah, and that's that's the big question,

939
00:55:01,680 --> 00:55:05,520
Speaker 1: because you know, clearly this was a team that and

940
00:55:05,560 --> 00:55:07,840
Speaker 1: you guys would know the record better. But going back

941
00:55:07,840 --> 00:55:11,759
Speaker 1: to last year, Brownie, when they after they lost to

942
00:55:11,760 --> 00:55:14,200
Speaker 1: Indianapolis last year, which was what week five or six

943
00:55:14,239 --> 00:55:16,319
Speaker 1: somewhere around there, give or take. I can't remember the

944
00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:18,400
Speaker 1: exact of the second half of the season. Actually, I

945
00:55:18,400 --> 00:55:24,480
Speaker 1: think it's like, so there, their record going back to

946
00:55:24,560 --> 00:55:30,279
Speaker 1: that game has been pretty outstanding. Um so five and five. Yeah,

947
00:55:30,320 --> 00:55:32,520
Speaker 1: you make a pretty good point, you know, but then

948
00:55:32,560 --> 00:55:35,239
Speaker 1: you play a playoff game. I guess what I'm saying

949
00:55:35,400 --> 00:55:37,640
Speaker 1: is they've won a lot of games, and I don't

950
00:55:37,680 --> 00:55:39,359
Speaker 1: know the answer to this. I'm just trying to pose

951
00:55:39,400 --> 00:55:41,719
Speaker 1: the questions which I'm sure they're posing in there. You

952
00:55:41,760 --> 00:55:46,040
Speaker 1: know that will be discussed in the building is if

953
00:55:46,080 --> 00:55:48,319
Speaker 1: you look at the way the team is structured offensively

954
00:55:48,320 --> 00:55:51,759
Speaker 1: in particular, it really is structured around the ability of

955
00:55:52,280 --> 00:55:55,799
Speaker 1: one player to be great pretty consistently, and for the

956
00:55:55,800 --> 00:55:59,000
Speaker 1: most party has been Um, you know, you guys have

957
00:55:59,040 --> 00:56:01,560
Speaker 1: watched a lot of football, us have I you have

958
00:56:01,600 --> 00:56:04,440
Speaker 1: to decide if that's a realistic approach to get to

959
00:56:04,480 --> 00:56:09,200
Speaker 1: the big game, you know, because obviously that hasn't happened yet. Right.

960
00:56:09,560 --> 00:56:12,239
Speaker 1: That was November twenty first, actually Week eleven last year

961
00:56:12,280 --> 00:56:14,480
Speaker 1: with the indianaposence. Since then it was the only time

962
00:56:14,480 --> 00:56:17,120
Speaker 1: they got run out of the gym as right, And

963
00:56:17,160 --> 00:56:21,400
Speaker 1: since then those last seven games, well eight nine games

964
00:56:22,080 --> 00:56:25,120
Speaker 1: last year and then moving into this year, they're like

965
00:56:25,239 --> 00:56:29,640
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five and five over their last thirty and yeah,

966
00:56:29,640 --> 00:56:32,919
Speaker 1: the lot you know, even you know, everybody talked about

967
00:56:32,960 --> 00:56:35,400
Speaker 1: how they got physically beaten this week. It was interesting

968
00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:38,759
Speaker 1: because in the first half the Bengals had twenty nine

969
00:56:38,800 --> 00:56:41,560
Speaker 1: called passes and twelve called runs. It's just that the

970
00:56:41,640 --> 00:56:44,720
Speaker 1: runs gained some yards, But it wasn't if the Bengals

971
00:56:44,719 --> 00:56:46,480
Speaker 1: just came out and ran the ball, ran the ball,

972
00:56:46,520 --> 00:56:48,680
Speaker 1: ran the ball, you know, they, like I said, they

973
00:56:48,680 --> 00:56:51,160
Speaker 1: had twenty nine called passes and twelve called runs in

974
00:56:51,200 --> 00:56:55,440
Speaker 1: the first half. Right, Yeah, and there I think and

975
00:56:55,520 --> 00:56:57,120
Speaker 1: Steve and I have talked about this a lot on

976
00:56:57,160 --> 00:57:00,640
Speaker 1: the show. Since the Umar Hamlin situation, this team hasn't

977
00:57:00,640 --> 00:57:03,680
Speaker 1: looked the same either. I think the emotional toll there

978
00:57:05,040 --> 00:57:07,960
Speaker 1: compromise their play on the field. Also to what degree

979
00:57:08,040 --> 00:57:11,400
Speaker 1: exactly will never know. But against the Bengals, they didn't

980
00:57:11,400 --> 00:57:13,440
Speaker 1: even look like the team that we had watched for

981
00:57:13,480 --> 00:57:18,080
Speaker 1: most of the season and estimation there just wasn't the

982
00:57:18,160 --> 00:57:20,000
Speaker 1: want to It just wasn't there. And even some of

983
00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:22,720
Speaker 1: the players said, we just didn't have the energy that

984
00:57:22,760 --> 00:57:26,320
Speaker 1: we normally have on the field. And that's a great point. Yeah,

985
00:57:26,320 --> 00:57:28,320
Speaker 1: I mean, none of us know how something like that.

986
00:57:28,360 --> 00:57:30,160
Speaker 1: I mean, you're talking about a life and death situation.

987
00:57:30,240 --> 00:57:32,440
Speaker 1: This is not just like a normal injury for a

988
00:57:32,480 --> 00:57:36,200
Speaker 1: player that happens that players accept in football. Everybody gets injured.

989
00:57:36,400 --> 00:57:39,000
Speaker 1: This was a totally different situation, you know. And even

990
00:57:39,040 --> 00:57:40,720
Speaker 1: through the course of the season, having to go to

991
00:57:40,760 --> 00:57:44,280
Speaker 1: Detroit to play you know, that game where because of

992
00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:47,440
Speaker 1: the snow, you know, and you could say these are excuses,

993
00:57:47,440 --> 00:57:51,280
Speaker 1: some might say that, but you know, none of us

994
00:57:51,320 --> 00:57:54,280
Speaker 1: can understand what they really dealt with, you know, during

995
00:57:54,280 --> 00:57:57,080
Speaker 1: the season, and maybe they just were emotionally spent. Who

996
00:57:57,160 --> 00:57:59,520
Speaker 1: knows the answer of that. No one does. Two questions

997
00:57:59,560 --> 00:58:03,280
Speaker 1: about two rookies going forward for this team, and then

998
00:58:03,280 --> 00:58:06,960
Speaker 1: we'll move on to the conference title games. Khalil Shaker

999
00:58:07,920 --> 00:58:10,720
Speaker 1: showed more and more as the season went on. His

1000
00:58:10,840 --> 00:58:14,320
Speaker 1: opportunities didn't increase to any great degree, but to some degree.

1001
00:58:15,160 --> 00:58:18,080
Speaker 1: What do you see for him maybe as a future

1002
00:58:18,200 --> 00:58:21,760
Speaker 1: in the slot. And then we heard Brandon being talking

1003
00:58:21,800 --> 00:58:25,400
Speaker 1: about how they may be moving Christian Benford to safety

1004
00:58:25,480 --> 00:58:30,040
Speaker 1: full time next year. Knowing his skill set and being,

1005
00:58:30,200 --> 00:58:35,000
Speaker 1: you know, a six one player in the secondary, what

1006
00:58:35,080 --> 00:58:37,680
Speaker 1: do you think about that prospect for those two players

1007
00:58:37,720 --> 00:58:41,120
Speaker 1: going forward? Well, as you guys probably recall when they

1008
00:58:41,200 --> 00:58:43,160
Speaker 1: drafted Shakir, I told you how much I liked his

1009
00:58:43,200 --> 00:58:45,560
Speaker 1: tape coming out of college, and I said that I

1010
00:58:45,600 --> 00:58:49,280
Speaker 1: thought he'd be some kind of factor this season. To

1011
00:58:49,360 --> 00:58:51,040
Speaker 1: be honest, it didn't quite work out the way I

1012
00:58:51,080 --> 00:58:53,000
Speaker 1: thought of what I thought he'd be more of a factor,

1013
00:58:53,040 --> 00:58:56,280
Speaker 1: But it was clear as the season progressed he didn't

1014
00:58:56,280 --> 00:58:59,120
Speaker 1: make some plays, and I think that he'd be a

1015
00:58:59,160 --> 00:59:02,840
Speaker 1: guy I seriously consider playing, you know, as a slot

1016
00:59:02,840 --> 00:59:05,800
Speaker 1: receiver next year. I think there's a lot more there

1017
00:59:05,880 --> 00:59:08,360
Speaker 1: to be developed and I think he could be a good,

1018
00:59:08,520 --> 00:59:12,920
Speaker 1: good receiver. Bedford. I did not see him coming out

1019
00:59:12,920 --> 00:59:15,600
Speaker 1: of Villanova, So my first real look at him, was

1020
00:59:15,640 --> 00:59:19,400
Speaker 1: playing corner for the Bills, but he is long, he's

1021
00:59:19,440 --> 00:59:23,080
Speaker 1: pretty athletic. I mean, clearly they want Elam to be

1022
00:59:23,160 --> 00:59:26,560
Speaker 1: the starting corner opposite White, so and I think Elam

1023
00:59:26,600 --> 00:59:30,880
Speaker 1: has better traits overall than Bedford. So if that's the case,

1024
00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:33,240
Speaker 1: if you liked the player, which I think they do,

1025
00:59:33,360 --> 00:59:36,880
Speaker 1: because obviously he played well enough at corner through training

1026
00:59:36,920 --> 00:59:38,920
Speaker 1: camp and through the early part of the season that

1027
00:59:39,040 --> 00:59:42,080
Speaker 1: he was getting more snaps than Elam. So you know,

1028
00:59:42,080 --> 00:59:45,040
Speaker 1: if they liked the player, you know, it might make

1029
00:59:45,080 --> 00:59:48,400
Speaker 1: perfect sense. I mean, you know, I know that the

1030
00:59:48,400 --> 00:59:51,640
Speaker 1: things I don't follow. Our contract status is our player

1031
00:59:51,720 --> 00:59:54,080
Speaker 1: and high going to be Bills next year or as

1032
00:59:54,160 --> 00:59:57,400
Speaker 1: player a free agent. Free agent. Hyde has a year left,

1033
00:59:58,560 --> 01:00:01,480
Speaker 1: so Hide is likely to be back. Player could well

1034
01:00:01,520 --> 01:00:03,400
Speaker 1: not be back. You know, again, we don't know how

1035
01:00:03,520 --> 01:00:06,200
Speaker 1: the organization sees I mean, we know he's a really

1036
01:00:06,240 --> 01:00:09,200
Speaker 1: good player. The organization would say that, but there's obviously

1037
01:00:09,240 --> 01:00:11,120
Speaker 1: many factors that go into how much you pay a

1038
01:00:11,120 --> 01:00:14,320
Speaker 1: particular player, so it's possible player could not be there.

1039
01:00:15,160 --> 01:00:17,520
Speaker 1: Let's move on and talk about these games this weekend.

1040
01:00:18,280 --> 01:00:21,880
Speaker 1: Forty nine ers at Philly. This looks like it's going

1041
01:00:21,920 --> 01:00:25,000
Speaker 1: to be like a three to two game maybe, and

1042
01:00:25,680 --> 01:00:28,720
Speaker 1: you know, low scoring slug fest. What do you see

1043
01:00:28,760 --> 01:00:34,360
Speaker 1: with San Francisco, Philly and quarterbacks in particular. I'm I'm

1044
01:00:34,480 --> 01:00:38,000
Speaker 1: kind of fascinated by this game because Philly's offense has

1045
01:00:38,040 --> 01:00:39,720
Speaker 1: been a lot of fun to watch this year. You know,

1046
01:00:39,800 --> 01:00:46,040
Speaker 1: when Hurtz has played and been healthy, his abilities as

1047
01:00:46,080 --> 01:00:49,400
Speaker 1: a runner really makes it difficult to defend that offense

1048
01:00:49,720 --> 01:00:52,400
Speaker 1: because he's in the gun on almost every play, So

1049
01:00:52,520 --> 01:00:55,400
Speaker 1: you know, unless it's third and long, there's a run element,

1050
01:00:55,440 --> 01:00:58,400
Speaker 1: a designed run element that is there that you have

1051
01:00:58,440 --> 01:01:01,520
Speaker 1: to defend that Really he puts a burden on second

1052
01:01:01,560 --> 01:01:06,400
Speaker 1: level defenders. He's really improved as a passers. He can

1053
01:01:06,480 --> 01:01:08,760
Speaker 1: make throws from the pocket. They do a great job

1054
01:01:08,800 --> 01:01:11,760
Speaker 1: with design in their past game, and I think with

1055
01:01:11,800 --> 01:01:15,880
Speaker 1: the two receivers Smith and aj Brown, I think they're

1056
01:01:15,920 --> 01:01:18,520
Speaker 1: going to attack on the outside. And I'm not suggesting

1057
01:01:18,560 --> 01:01:21,640
Speaker 1: that the corners for the forty nine ers Lenoir and Ward,

1058
01:01:21,680 --> 01:01:25,120
Speaker 1: who've played well, I'm not suggesting their weak players. But

1059
01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:29,320
Speaker 1: I think this defense is really really strong down the middle.

1060
01:01:29,560 --> 01:01:32,760
Speaker 1: And I think that the Eagles, who has this season progressed,

1061
01:01:33,080 --> 01:01:37,000
Speaker 1: really started to throw more outside the numbers. I think

1062
01:01:37,000 --> 01:01:39,640
Speaker 1: you're going to see them look to attack there and

1063
01:01:39,720 --> 01:01:42,520
Speaker 1: see how that goes. They hit some vertical throws. Hurtz

1064
01:01:42,520 --> 01:01:46,680
Speaker 1: has became a very good deep ball thrower. I think

1065
01:01:46,680 --> 01:01:49,200
Speaker 1: they're a tough offense to defend. Now, the Niners obviously

1066
01:01:49,240 --> 01:01:51,240
Speaker 1: have a very very good defense. They have the best

1067
01:01:51,320 --> 01:01:54,000
Speaker 1: linebacker in the game and Fred Warner. They've got two

1068
01:01:54,080 --> 01:01:57,400
Speaker 1: really good nickel linebackers with green Law. Obviously we know

1069
01:01:57,440 --> 01:02:02,480
Speaker 1: about Bosa. So there's something inside me is thinking that

1070
01:02:02,520 --> 01:02:04,600
Speaker 1: the Eagles are going to score. When I say score,

1071
01:02:04,600 --> 01:02:06,400
Speaker 1: They're not going to put up forty, don't get me wrong,

1072
01:02:06,640 --> 01:02:08,640
Speaker 1: but I don't think they're gonna put up thirteen. I

1073
01:02:08,640 --> 01:02:11,840
Speaker 1: think they're going to score some points. Which path that

1074
01:02:11,920 --> 01:02:13,960
Speaker 1: might answer this question that I had for you. We

1075
01:02:14,000 --> 01:02:17,320
Speaker 1: have two pretty formidable fronts here. We know, yes, that

1076
01:02:17,360 --> 01:02:19,640
Speaker 1: the Eagles led the league in sacks. We know San

1077
01:02:19,680 --> 01:02:23,840
Speaker 1: Francisco wasn't far behind. Which pass rush do you think

1078
01:02:24,080 --> 01:02:27,640
Speaker 1: has the better chance of being more effective on Sunday?

1079
01:02:28,760 --> 01:02:32,600
Speaker 1: I think, Brownie, much of that will depend on situational football.

1080
01:02:32,880 --> 01:02:36,000
Speaker 1: You know. I think that the way both teams play

1081
01:02:36,080 --> 01:02:40,440
Speaker 1: in normal down and distant situations minimizes pass rush because

1082
01:02:40,440 --> 01:02:42,760
Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers will play an awful lot out

1083
01:02:42,760 --> 01:02:45,960
Speaker 1: of twenty one personnel with two backs, one tight end,

1084
01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:48,919
Speaker 1: and two wide receivers, and you check the fullback being

1085
01:02:49,240 --> 01:02:52,480
Speaker 1: one of those backs, and they are so multiple formationally

1086
01:02:52,560 --> 01:02:56,040
Speaker 1: out of that personnel package that that's difficult for defenses

1087
01:02:56,080 --> 01:02:59,600
Speaker 1: as well. So I think you're really getting into pass

1088
01:02:59,720 --> 01:03:03,560
Speaker 1: rush situations. I would think the Eagles would attack the

1089
01:03:03,640 --> 01:03:07,680
Speaker 1: right tackle McGlinchey, and that's where Hassan Reddick lines up. UM.

1090
01:03:08,040 --> 01:03:11,040
Speaker 1: You know, I would think that that Nick Bosa would

1091
01:03:11,080 --> 01:03:14,600
Speaker 1: get some snaps against Jordan Malatau. So I think it

1092
01:03:14,680 --> 01:03:18,520
Speaker 1: really is situational UM. And then then it comes down

1093
01:03:18,560 --> 01:03:22,760
Speaker 1: to um. You know, Purdie has played well. He's not

1094
01:03:22,880 --> 01:03:25,280
Speaker 1: been quite as sharp the last two weeks, but he's

1095
01:03:25,280 --> 01:03:30,600
Speaker 1: played well clearly overall for a rookie quarterback. UM. So

1096
01:03:30,720 --> 01:03:33,000
Speaker 1: that's a hard question to answer. I really believe that

1097
01:03:33,080 --> 01:03:35,080
Speaker 1: it'll come down. Look, all that could happen last week

1098
01:03:35,080 --> 01:03:37,600
Speaker 1: with the Niners offense, because their defense is so good,

1099
01:03:37,600 --> 01:03:40,360
Speaker 1: they could stay with the run game, but they really

1100
01:03:40,440 --> 01:03:42,320
Speaker 1: did not have the kind of pass game I think

1101
01:03:42,360 --> 01:03:44,560
Speaker 1: that they wanted to have. We're looking at a play

1102
01:03:44,640 --> 01:03:49,240
Speaker 1: that was obviously Flukey Kittle wasn't even part of the progression, So, um,

1103
01:03:49,720 --> 01:03:52,240
Speaker 1: you know, it'll be interesting to see. But you know,

1104
01:03:52,280 --> 01:03:54,440
Speaker 1: Purdie has started to do a couple of things that

1105
01:03:54,520 --> 01:03:56,800
Speaker 1: he's gonna have to be careful with. He's starting to

1106
01:03:56,840 --> 01:04:00,440
Speaker 1: retreat backwards when he faces pressure, and he's starting to

1107
01:04:00,440 --> 01:04:03,080
Speaker 1: move to his left, and both of those things, you know,

1108
01:04:03,240 --> 01:04:07,520
Speaker 1: can cause problems. How good is brock Purty now and

1109
01:04:07,600 --> 01:04:10,400
Speaker 1: what's his upside? What's how possible? I mean, obviously he's

1110
01:04:10,440 --> 01:04:14,040
Speaker 1: in a almost the perfect situation for a young quarterback,

1111
01:04:14,120 --> 01:04:16,320
Speaker 1: with a running game and a defense to protect him,

1112
01:04:16,960 --> 01:04:20,240
Speaker 1: you know, great elite and elite playmakers around him. I mean,

1113
01:04:20,240 --> 01:04:23,439
Speaker 1: it's hard to imagine a better landing spot. But how

1114
01:04:23,480 --> 01:04:29,000
Speaker 1: good could brock Purty be? Um? You know, I think

1115
01:04:29,040 --> 01:04:32,840
Speaker 1: Purty is what ultimately he is, and I don't think

1116
01:04:32,840 --> 01:04:34,760
Speaker 1: he'd be more than this. And when I say that,

1117
01:04:34,800 --> 01:04:36,360
Speaker 1: I don't mean this in a negative way at all.

1118
01:04:36,760 --> 01:04:41,640
Speaker 1: He would be a distributor and a high level executor

1119
01:04:41,680 --> 01:04:44,520
Speaker 1: of a well schemed offense who gives you some secondary

1120
01:04:44,520 --> 01:04:47,200
Speaker 1: action movement That I think is what Brock Purty is,

1121
01:04:47,720 --> 01:04:50,400
Speaker 1: and that's good. There's nothing wrong with that. But I mean,

1122
01:04:50,560 --> 01:04:52,800
Speaker 1: I don't think we'd ever be talking about Brock Purdy

1123
01:04:53,000 --> 01:04:56,480
Speaker 1: in the conversation, you know, with Mahomes, Alan Burrow, Herbert,

1124
01:04:56,520 --> 01:04:59,200
Speaker 1: you know, probably even Jayalen hurts at this point and

1125
01:04:59,440 --> 01:05:01,760
Speaker 1: hurts his career. I don't think we'd be talking about

1126
01:05:01,760 --> 01:05:04,920
Speaker 1: Purty in that same way. But in a Kyle Shanahan offense,

1127
01:05:05,240 --> 01:05:08,120
Speaker 1: if you are a high level distributor of the football,

1128
01:05:09,120 --> 01:05:11,640
Speaker 1: then you are a really good player, and he gives

1129
01:05:11,680 --> 01:05:14,840
Speaker 1: them something Garoppolo couldn't give them, which is the play

1130
01:05:14,880 --> 01:05:17,800
Speaker 1: action boot game which Kyle Shanahan always wants to have,

1131
01:05:18,040 --> 01:05:21,440
Speaker 1: and some secondary action movement because he's got light, athletic feet,

1132
01:05:21,480 --> 01:05:23,920
Speaker 1: so he could be a very efficient player in the

1133
01:05:23,960 --> 01:05:27,280
Speaker 1: context of that offense. Flipping it over to the AFC

1134
01:05:27,480 --> 01:05:30,880
Speaker 1: title game, Greg, the one thing that I'm interested in

1135
01:05:31,560 --> 01:05:36,560
Speaker 1: are the problematic matchups for both defenses here, based on

1136
01:05:36,600 --> 01:05:38,920
Speaker 1: the weapons that you know each of these offenses can

1137
01:05:38,920 --> 01:05:41,480
Speaker 1: throw out there on the field, which defense do you

1138
01:05:41,560 --> 01:05:51,000
Speaker 1: feel has more problematic matchups to deal with in your estimation? Well,

1139
01:05:51,040 --> 01:05:55,960
Speaker 1: I think that the Chiefs have more problematic matchups if

1140
01:05:55,960 --> 01:05:59,560
Speaker 1: you're talking one on one type matchups, And I think

1141
01:05:59,600 --> 01:06:03,800
Speaker 1: that the Bengals have. Their matchup issues would stem more

1142
01:06:03,920 --> 01:06:06,800
Speaker 1: from the scheme that the Chiefs run, because I think

1143
01:06:06,840 --> 01:06:12,200
Speaker 1: the Chiefs are very schematic, particularly and given situations. You know,

1144
01:06:12,480 --> 01:06:15,560
Speaker 1: we've seen that the Bengals. You know, everybody talks about

1145
01:06:15,640 --> 01:06:18,960
Speaker 1: rushing three and dropping eight. Okay, that in and of

1146
01:06:19,000 --> 01:06:22,240
Speaker 1: itself shouldn't pose a problem, but it's how they do that.

1147
01:06:22,480 --> 01:06:25,160
Speaker 1: I went back and looked at Week thirteen they played

1148
01:06:25,160 --> 01:06:27,640
Speaker 1: this year back last year in the ANFC Championship game,

1149
01:06:28,040 --> 01:06:32,000
Speaker 1: when they rush three and drop eight, it's really noticeable

1150
01:06:32,320 --> 01:06:35,240
Speaker 1: who the defensive end is that they drop the large,

1151
01:06:35,320 --> 01:06:38,600
Speaker 1: large percentage of the time that defensive end drops on

1152
01:06:38,640 --> 01:06:41,440
Speaker 1: the side of Kelsey. And I think they do that

1153
01:06:41,480 --> 01:06:46,360
Speaker 1: because it immediately presents kind of a bracket situation on

1154
01:06:46,480 --> 01:06:50,600
Speaker 1: Kelsey and it takes mahomes eyes off of Kelsey right away.

1155
01:06:50,680 --> 01:06:54,080
Speaker 1: Now Mahomes is capable of doing a lot of things, obviously,

1156
01:06:54,440 --> 01:06:56,880
Speaker 1: but it takes his eyes off Kelsey right away because

1157
01:06:56,880 --> 01:06:59,600
Speaker 1: it appears that there's two players who are going to

1158
01:06:59,600 --> 01:07:02,680
Speaker 1: be in position to defend him, right and that and

1159
01:07:03,400 --> 01:07:07,000
Speaker 1: making knowing that if you're Kansas City does that and

1160
01:07:07,040 --> 01:07:09,760
Speaker 1: they've done this a ton, I mean, they'll put Kelsey everywhere.

1161
01:07:10,560 --> 01:07:14,000
Speaker 1: That's the start. They started throwing him around and moving

1162
01:07:14,040 --> 01:07:16,520
Speaker 1: him and shifting him and like everybody does, they've all

1163
01:07:16,560 --> 01:07:18,640
Speaker 1: got this the ability to shift in motion and move

1164
01:07:18,680 --> 01:07:24,200
Speaker 1: guys around. Kansas City. I've seen them also go static

1165
01:07:24,960 --> 01:07:27,400
Speaker 1: and what does go and you know, go go line

1166
01:07:27,440 --> 01:07:30,440
Speaker 1: up and move and go. What does what advantages that

1167
01:07:30,520 --> 01:07:33,400
Speaker 1: give Kansas City? Because if they know or maybe they

1168
01:07:33,400 --> 01:07:35,600
Speaker 1: have already anticipated, who's going to match up with him

1169
01:07:35,600 --> 01:07:38,360
Speaker 1: in that down to distance. I don't know. Yeah, a

1170
01:07:38,360 --> 01:07:40,880
Speaker 1: couple of thoughts I have. It wouldn't surprise me. And again,

1171
01:07:40,920 --> 01:07:44,240
Speaker 1: we don't know about Mahomes. Apparently he practiced this week,

1172
01:07:44,280 --> 01:07:47,000
Speaker 1: you know, and uh so let's assume he's close. You know,

1173
01:07:47,160 --> 01:07:49,960
Speaker 1: he can't possibly be one hundred percent bouts. Assume he's

1174
01:07:50,040 --> 01:07:53,200
Speaker 1: relatively okay. It would not surprise me, Steve to see

1175
01:07:53,240 --> 01:07:55,520
Speaker 1: them do some no huddle tempo. Again, you don't have

1176
01:07:55,560 --> 01:07:57,720
Speaker 1: to snap the ball right away, but as you know,

1177
01:07:57,880 --> 01:08:00,080
Speaker 1: no huddle tempo. Look, you played in that kind of

1178
01:08:00,600 --> 01:08:03,440
Speaker 1: defenses can't do a lot of communication and pre snap

1179
01:08:03,480 --> 01:08:05,360
Speaker 1: adjustment because they don't know when the ball is going

1180
01:08:05,400 --> 01:08:07,479
Speaker 1: to be snapped. And I think one of the things

1181
01:08:07,480 --> 01:08:09,640
Speaker 1: and Brownie you brought this up last week about Loui

1182
01:08:09,680 --> 01:08:12,200
Speaker 1: and Ramo, and you're so right. Is he's so good

1183
01:08:12,240 --> 01:08:15,240
Speaker 1: with that kind of thing, and that might minimize what

1184
01:08:15,840 --> 01:08:18,320
Speaker 1: how much he can do that if if the Chiefs

1185
01:08:18,320 --> 01:08:21,240
Speaker 1: decide to, you know, go some no huddle, right, and

1186
01:08:21,400 --> 01:08:23,880
Speaker 1: it's all about getting first downs. You don't want to

1187
01:08:23,880 --> 01:08:25,800
Speaker 1: go no huddle in ten seconds or off the play

1188
01:08:25,840 --> 01:08:28,920
Speaker 1: clock and you already won two, three and out right.

1189
01:08:29,160 --> 01:08:31,479
Speaker 1: That's that's the key thing. Plus if you go no

1190
01:08:31,680 --> 01:08:33,439
Speaker 1: huddle too, and I don't know, maybe the Chiefs have

1191
01:08:33,520 --> 01:08:36,360
Speaker 1: a way of doing this. It's really difficult to shift

1192
01:08:36,439 --> 01:08:40,360
Speaker 1: in motion out of no huddle. Yeah, and I'm not

1193
01:08:40,360 --> 01:08:43,160
Speaker 1: sure they're necessarily worried about that. I think you know,

1194
01:08:43,200 --> 01:08:45,599
Speaker 1: you made a good point about where they line up Kelsey.

1195
01:08:45,600 --> 01:08:48,439
Speaker 1: It's very possible because Kelsey can line up everywhere. You

1196
01:08:48,520 --> 01:08:50,559
Speaker 1: might see them split Kelsey out a little more at

1197
01:08:50,560 --> 01:08:53,000
Speaker 1: times because then it becomes a little more difficult for

1198
01:08:53,120 --> 01:08:56,280
Speaker 1: someone from the inside to be able to bracket him

1199
01:08:56,360 --> 01:08:58,600
Speaker 1: or be involved in a double because then if you

1200
01:08:58,640 --> 01:09:00,800
Speaker 1: want to double and we're bracket and then you're dealing

1201
01:09:00,880 --> 01:09:03,479
Speaker 1: with his safety doing that more than likely. Could it

1202
01:09:03,560 --> 01:09:05,599
Speaker 1: be a linebacker, Yeah, but you have to show that

1203
01:09:05,920 --> 01:09:07,840
Speaker 1: so you know this is going to be a really

1204
01:09:07,880 --> 01:09:11,040
Speaker 1: good chess match here because Kelsey he makes that pass

1205
01:09:11,080 --> 01:09:14,559
Speaker 1: game go obviously other than Mahomes, and you can't you

1206
01:09:14,600 --> 01:09:18,280
Speaker 1: can't just let him be a big factor in the game. Okay,

1207
01:09:18,320 --> 01:09:22,360
Speaker 1: So going from Annarumo to Spagnolo. Now back in the

1208
01:09:22,360 --> 01:09:25,400
Speaker 1: twenty twenty AFC title game with the Bills, Spagnolo gave

1209
01:09:25,439 --> 01:09:29,200
Speaker 1: Alan fitz because he would change the coverage with five

1210
01:09:29,240 --> 01:09:31,439
Speaker 1: seconds left on the play clock and it wouldn't give

1211
01:09:31,479 --> 01:09:35,439
Speaker 1: Alan enough time to check his offensive play call and

1212
01:09:35,479 --> 01:09:38,760
Speaker 1: he would get a bad look sometimes. How effective could

1213
01:09:38,800 --> 01:09:43,800
Speaker 1: that be against the Bengals offense? Knowing how sometimes, at

1214
01:09:43,880 --> 01:09:48,120
Speaker 1: least to me, it seems like Burrows where he's going

1215
01:09:48,160 --> 01:09:50,320
Speaker 1: with the football is predetermined with how fast he gets

1216
01:09:50,320 --> 01:09:52,599
Speaker 1: the ball out. Can that compromise some of that if

1217
01:09:52,600 --> 01:09:56,800
Speaker 1: he spends the dial late in the play clock? Sure?

1218
01:09:57,160 --> 01:09:58,760
Speaker 1: And I think that was one of the things that

1219
01:09:58,760 --> 01:10:02,400
Speaker 1: did not happen Week thir teen, Brownie, is that the Chiefs,

1220
01:10:02,400 --> 01:10:04,679
Speaker 1: who are a little static, they did not pressure much.

1221
01:10:04,680 --> 01:10:07,760
Speaker 1: They played a lot of coverage and they really didn't

1222
01:10:07,840 --> 01:10:10,360
Speaker 1: change the picture a lot. I would expect them to

1223
01:10:10,400 --> 01:10:12,959
Speaker 1: do more of that, you know, just as the Bengals

1224
01:10:12,960 --> 01:10:15,960
Speaker 1: did this week against Josh Allen. I change the picture

1225
01:10:15,960 --> 01:10:18,000
Speaker 1: and make the quarterback work a little bit. One of

1226
01:10:18,000 --> 01:10:20,320
Speaker 1: the strengths of Burrow and it's one of the reasons

1227
01:10:20,320 --> 01:10:23,479
Speaker 1: he's a great, great player is he really knows where

1228
01:10:23,520 --> 01:10:25,679
Speaker 1: he's going with the ball before the ball is snapped.

1229
01:10:25,880 --> 01:10:28,160
Speaker 1: He's one of those guys. He plays that kind of

1230
01:10:28,240 --> 01:10:31,120
Speaker 1: game and you like and it won't happen every snap.

1231
01:10:31,120 --> 01:10:33,800
Speaker 1: Of course, nothing happens every snap, but you like in

1232
01:10:33,880 --> 01:10:37,559
Speaker 1: certain situation to change the picture pre snap to post snap,

1233
01:10:37,920 --> 01:10:41,320
Speaker 1: just to create a little bit of hesitation because they

1234
01:10:41,360 --> 01:10:44,040
Speaker 1: still have offensive line issues and this is a very

1235
01:10:44,040 --> 01:10:46,920
Speaker 1: good pass rush group. They're among the league leaders in

1236
01:10:47,000 --> 01:10:50,479
Speaker 1: pressure of quarterbacks. So you know, you have Chris Jones,

1237
01:10:50,479 --> 01:10:52,840
Speaker 1: he's a real tough handle. They got a kid named

1238
01:10:52,840 --> 01:10:55,519
Speaker 1: Michael Dana who's been a really big part of what

1239
01:10:55,600 --> 01:10:57,920
Speaker 1: they do, playing both d tackle and d end and

1240
01:10:57,960 --> 01:11:00,960
Speaker 1: pass rush situations. So this is you know, and obviously

1241
01:11:01,000 --> 01:11:04,280
Speaker 1: they have Frank Clark. So you know, I think that

1242
01:11:04,280 --> 01:11:06,600
Speaker 1: that's a really important point. It would not surprise me

1243
01:11:06,640 --> 01:11:08,679
Speaker 1: if you see more of that from Spags this weekend.

1244
01:11:09,120 --> 01:11:11,160
Speaker 1: You know, you talk about spags and how and also

1245
01:11:11,200 --> 01:11:14,320
Speaker 1: how Cincinnati has with lou Anna Rumo and all the

1246
01:11:14,360 --> 01:11:17,519
Speaker 1: things he does. Which are these defenses? Do you think

1247
01:11:18,479 --> 01:11:21,920
Speaker 1: is a better matchup for the defense against which offense?

1248
01:11:21,960 --> 01:11:23,920
Speaker 1: I mean, which one of these defense has the upper

1249
01:11:23,960 --> 01:11:31,000
Speaker 1: hand compared to the other? Wow? Obviously matchups that's a

1250
01:11:31,120 --> 01:11:34,880
Speaker 1: question with a lot of variables. Um, you know, I

1251
01:11:34,920 --> 01:11:37,960
Speaker 1: think that anytime you're playing three wide receivers the quality

1252
01:11:38,000 --> 01:11:42,080
Speaker 1: of Chase Higgins and Boyd, you potentially have issues because

1253
01:11:42,240 --> 01:11:45,799
Speaker 1: you know, look, I think that you know, the Chiefs

1254
01:11:45,800 --> 01:11:50,000
Speaker 1: are playing, you know, they're playing with rookie corners. When

1255
01:11:50,040 --> 01:11:52,479
Speaker 1: they go nickel, they play with two rookie corners and

1256
01:11:52,520 --> 01:11:54,840
Speaker 1: they're good players. And McDuffie was a first round pick

1257
01:11:54,880 --> 01:11:57,080
Speaker 1: and I really loved his tape coming out of You Dub.

1258
01:11:57,280 --> 01:12:01,320
Speaker 1: But he's a rookie corner. So we'll see snee. They

1259
01:12:01,360 --> 01:12:05,080
Speaker 1: brought him back inside this past week, and I'm sure

1260
01:12:05,200 --> 01:12:07,720
Speaker 1: that had to do with the opponent, but he'd been

1261
01:12:07,720 --> 01:12:10,559
Speaker 1: playing outside in their nickel and they brought McDuffie inside

1262
01:12:10,760 --> 01:12:13,439
Speaker 1: in weeks prior to that. So we'll see what they're

1263
01:12:13,479 --> 01:12:16,080
Speaker 1: what they do this week. But anytime you're playing with

1264
01:12:16,120 --> 01:12:19,200
Speaker 1: two rookie corners against this receiver group, Steve, I think

1265
01:12:20,280 --> 01:12:22,479
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not saying it's a problem. There's ways

1266
01:12:22,520 --> 01:12:25,920
Speaker 1: to camouflage and compensate for that. Spags knows way better

1267
01:12:25,960 --> 01:12:29,200
Speaker 1: than I do. But those are three really good receivers. Ye.

1268
01:12:30,200 --> 01:12:32,800
Speaker 1: Greg has always thanks for the inside. We appreciate it.

1269
01:12:32,880 --> 01:12:35,760
Speaker 1: Thanks for coming on today. Enjoy those conference championship games

1270
01:12:35,760 --> 01:12:38,760
Speaker 1: this weekend. All right, guys, appreciate it. Thanks so much.

1271
01:12:39,320 --> 01:12:41,840
Speaker 1: That's great. Co Sal senior producer from NFL Films, joining

1272
01:12:41,960 --> 01:12:45,120
Speaker 1: us as he does on Fridays during the season, and

1273
01:12:46,320 --> 01:12:49,800
Speaker 1: sounds like he's leaning towards Cincinnati winning that football game.

1274
01:12:49,960 --> 01:12:54,200
Speaker 1: He's genuinely concerned about the two rookie corners for the

1275
01:12:54,280 --> 01:12:58,920
Speaker 1: Chiefs being out there in Nickel personnel, and I understand why.

1276
01:12:59,080 --> 01:13:01,519
Speaker 1: It's a heck of a seaving corps they got over there. Yeah,

1277
01:13:01,520 --> 01:13:04,040
Speaker 1: and I don't know that they've got a Certainly, the

1278
01:13:04,479 --> 01:13:07,840
Speaker 1: Chiefs pass rushes is quality, but I don't know that

1279
01:13:07,880 --> 01:13:11,280
Speaker 1: they've got a dominant enough pass rush to get home

1280
01:13:11,320 --> 01:13:14,479
Speaker 1: in time to you know, two point five seconds is

1281
01:13:14,520 --> 01:13:16,400
Speaker 1: what Burrow gets rid of it. That's hard man to

1282
01:13:16,479 --> 01:13:19,040
Speaker 1: get back to the quarterback that fast. So I think

1283
01:13:19,800 --> 01:13:23,599
Speaker 1: with those three wideouts, if Burrow picks the right guy,

1284
01:13:23,640 --> 01:13:25,880
Speaker 1: there's gonna be somebody on every play that he's getting. Well,

1285
01:13:25,880 --> 01:13:29,160
Speaker 1: that's why. That's why I asked Greg that question that

1286
01:13:29,200 --> 01:13:32,559
Speaker 1: I did about Spagnolo's spinning the dial late in the

1287
01:13:32,600 --> 01:13:34,400
Speaker 1: play clock. He was doing that to Josh in the

1288
01:13:34,400 --> 01:13:36,719
Speaker 1: twenty twenty AFC title game and it gave him fits

1289
01:13:36,760 --> 01:13:39,360
Speaker 1: because he didn't have the chance to change the play

1290
01:13:39,400 --> 01:13:41,639
Speaker 1: because the play clock was going to run out right

1291
01:13:41,840 --> 01:13:45,200
Speaker 1: and he would just strategically time it where he'd tell

1292
01:13:45,280 --> 01:13:47,679
Speaker 1: his safeties, hey, spin the look on him with five

1293
01:13:47,720 --> 01:13:50,280
Speaker 1: seconds left on the play clock. He'll try to change

1294
01:13:50,280 --> 01:13:52,160
Speaker 1: the play or he won't have time to do so

1295
01:13:52,240 --> 01:13:54,040
Speaker 1: and be worried he's not in the right play call.

1296
01:13:54,400 --> 01:13:58,600
Speaker 1: And it worked uncommonly well in that game, and it

1297
01:13:58,240 --> 01:14:00,839
Speaker 1: was a It was a big lesson for job going forward.

1298
01:14:01,439 --> 01:14:03,519
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised because you've got to do something

1299
01:14:03,560 --> 01:14:05,719
Speaker 1: to affect Borrow. And if he's getting it out that fast,

1300
01:14:05,760 --> 01:14:08,240
Speaker 1: your pass rush isn't getting home even if somebody's coming clean,

1301
01:14:08,479 --> 01:14:10,640
Speaker 1: that's right, So you got to spin that wheel on

1302
01:14:10,720 --> 01:14:13,559
Speaker 1: him to at least make him pack the ball once. Yeah,

1303
01:14:13,560 --> 01:14:17,520
Speaker 1: and you've got to Yeah, and it's all about indecision.

1304
01:14:17,720 --> 01:14:20,320
Speaker 1: The quarterback thinks he's got something as he drops back

1305
01:14:20,320 --> 01:14:22,760
Speaker 1: and throws, he can't throw it there, and then he

1306
01:14:22,800 --> 01:14:25,600
Speaker 1: holds it. That's what the whole thing is about. You

1307
01:14:25,760 --> 01:14:28,080
Speaker 1: got to get to the guy, and you get to

1308
01:14:28,160 --> 01:14:29,920
Speaker 1: him because he's got the ball, still got the ball

1309
01:14:29,960 --> 01:14:32,000
Speaker 1: in his hands, he can't there's nobody to throw it too,

1310
01:14:32,280 --> 01:14:36,800
Speaker 1: or the guy he wants to throw it too isn't

1311
01:14:36,840 --> 01:14:39,800
Speaker 1: open because you've got him snapped off and you know

1312
01:14:40,479 --> 01:14:42,559
Speaker 1: the third option may be open, but he can't get

1313
01:14:42,600 --> 01:14:46,000
Speaker 1: there in time. It's all about and it all happens fast,

1314
01:14:46,720 --> 01:14:48,920
Speaker 1: and that's you know, good quarterbacks to man and they

1315
01:14:48,960 --> 01:14:50,880
Speaker 1: know it. They got that stuff down cold. They know

1316
01:14:50,880 --> 01:14:54,160
Speaker 1: where they're going to go with the football. You always

1317
01:14:54,200 --> 01:14:59,559
Speaker 1: hear quarterbacks talking about predetermining. Sometimes it's a good thing,

1318
01:14:59,640 --> 01:15:05,439
Speaker 1: sometimes is bad, and usually it's bad because you got

1319
01:15:05,439 --> 01:15:08,040
Speaker 1: to play football, and when you start predetermining where you're going,

1320
01:15:08,160 --> 01:15:11,720
Speaker 1: anybody who want, any good coaching staff who watches film

1321
01:15:11,920 --> 01:15:14,240
Speaker 1: is going to know what you're seeing and they're gonna

1322
01:15:14,280 --> 01:15:16,360
Speaker 1: take it away and orbit you into throw in someplace

1323
01:15:16,360 --> 01:15:19,679
Speaker 1: where you shouldn't throw. Break time for us here when

1324

Speaker 1: we come back. More of your questions from the OBL

01:16:05,520 --> 01:16:08,080
Speaker 1: we get in there. I wanted to get back to

1335
01:16:08,160 --> 01:16:11,880
Speaker 1: your questions about the bills. The NFL at large, both

1336
01:16:12,040 --> 01:16:16,000
Speaker 1: on Twitter and on the phones. So we go to

1337
01:16:16,000 --> 01:16:19,360
Speaker 1: the phones first, where Jerry in Buffalo is waiting. What

1338
01:16:19,400 --> 01:16:25,439
Speaker 1: do you got for us? Jerry? You're all one Bills Live. Jerry?

1339
01:16:25,479 --> 01:16:29,080
Speaker 1: Are you there? He's asleep at the switch. All right,

1340
01:16:29,120 --> 01:16:30,840
Speaker 1: I'll put Jerry on hold and then check back with

1341
01:16:30,920 --> 01:16:33,680
Speaker 1: him later. He's not there, Jerry, He's asleep at the

1342
01:16:33,680 --> 01:16:37,040
Speaker 1: wheel here. He is a ghost person. Were a ghost

1343
01:16:37,160 --> 01:16:38,680
Speaker 1: runner when you were kids, were as a guy on

1344
01:16:38,800 --> 01:16:43,800
Speaker 1: second we go to Rick in the OBL fanmail bag

1345
01:16:43,840 --> 01:16:46,280
Speaker 1: and he says, if you two were the Bills GM

1346
01:16:46,280 --> 01:16:48,519
Speaker 1: and the NFL Draft started today, what position would you

1347
01:16:48,560 --> 01:16:50,640
Speaker 1: be looking to fill for twenty twenty three. I know

1348
01:16:50,680 --> 01:16:53,160
Speaker 1: there's the best player available theory, and although Brandon being

1349
01:16:53,160 --> 01:16:55,840
Speaker 1: lives by that, he did take need over availability in

1350
01:16:55,920 --> 01:16:59,519
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen with Josh and in twenty twenty two with

1351
01:17:00,080 --> 01:17:08,000
Speaker 1: elam need over availability. I mean, we're not taking Josh

1352
01:17:08,160 --> 01:17:11,920
Speaker 1: or Kaier unless the value matches the spot where they're

1353
01:17:11,920 --> 01:17:15,160
Speaker 1: taking them. So don't don't mistake the fact that they

1354
01:17:15,160 --> 01:17:17,840
Speaker 1: were able to match need and value together and just

1355
01:17:17,880 --> 01:17:20,160
Speaker 1: say they went for need over availability. I don't know

1356
01:17:20,200 --> 01:17:23,559
Speaker 1: if that's necessarily true, so just be careful with that um.

1357
01:17:23,680 --> 01:17:26,720
Speaker 1: In an ideal world, I'm getting a receiver in round one,

1358
01:17:26,760 --> 01:17:28,840
Speaker 1: in alignment in round two, and then another alignement a

1359
01:17:28,920 --> 01:17:32,680
Speaker 1: round three, and then get me a power back in

1360
01:17:32,760 --> 01:17:37,559
Speaker 1: round four. Okay, going all in on offense, Steve, that's fine.

1361
01:17:38,120 --> 01:17:40,840
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm really not a I'm not going to

1362
01:17:40,920 --> 01:17:43,840
Speaker 1: do that. I'm not I'm not gonna be ideal. I'm

1363
01:17:43,880 --> 01:17:46,960
Speaker 1: not gonna prison I'm not gonna be imprisoned by that

1364
01:17:47,080 --> 01:17:50,360
Speaker 1: last game. They're gonna go through free agency. They're gonna

1365
01:17:50,360 --> 01:17:52,280
Speaker 1: sign some guys that they already have a chance to

1366
01:17:52,280 --> 01:17:54,160
Speaker 1: start for this team to compete, I want to look

1367
01:17:54,200 --> 01:17:57,000
Speaker 1: at the roster right before the draft. If the drafts today, Okay,

1368
01:17:57,000 --> 01:18:00,920
Speaker 1: I'm with you, that's fine, But let's wait and see

1369
01:18:00,960 --> 01:18:04,640
Speaker 1: what the roster looks like after free agency and the

1370
01:18:04,680 --> 01:18:09,000
Speaker 1: trade deadline and all of that and the draft. Well

1371
01:18:09,280 --> 01:18:11,920
Speaker 1: before the draft, let's see right up to the see

1372
01:18:11,920 --> 01:18:14,360
Speaker 1: how many holes are. Let's just see and if what

1373
01:18:14,520 --> 01:18:16,439
Speaker 1: needs still exist, and then we can take it from there,

1374
01:18:16,439 --> 01:18:18,320
Speaker 1: because a lot of things we don't even Yeah. So,

1375
01:18:18,600 --> 01:18:21,000
Speaker 1: like I said, we were talking yesterday about people doing

1376
01:18:21,080 --> 01:18:22,840
Speaker 1: mock drafts, and there are some of these teams that

1377
01:18:22,840 --> 01:18:25,080
Speaker 1: they're mocking people too. They don't even know the head

1378
01:18:25,120 --> 01:18:30,920
Speaker 1: coaches yet. So that's just stretch to say the least. Yeah,

1379
01:18:31,000 --> 01:18:35,080
Speaker 1: so let's I'm gonna wait and take free agency first.

1380
01:18:35,080 --> 01:18:37,479
Speaker 1: Then we'll think about the draft after the combine. I

1381
01:18:37,520 --> 01:18:40,519
Speaker 1: got yeah, we got time. Yeah. Nate in the mail

1382
01:18:40,560 --> 01:18:44,439
Speaker 1: Bag asks Brownie after calling a couple of Bills games,

1383
01:18:44,479 --> 01:18:48,840
Speaker 1: do you go back and listen to yourself? Absolutely? Yes. Um.

1384
01:18:49,760 --> 01:18:52,240
Speaker 1: Much like players go back and review film, you go

1385
01:18:52,280 --> 01:18:54,320
Speaker 1: back and listen to yourself so you can kind of

1386
01:18:54,400 --> 01:18:58,240
Speaker 1: self critique find out where you can improve. That's why

1387
01:18:58,280 --> 01:19:01,160
Speaker 1: you do it, why you were going to something. No. Plus,

1388
01:19:01,200 --> 01:19:04,840
Speaker 1: of course you know Twitter is always willing to lend help. Yeah,

1389
01:19:04,920 --> 01:19:08,439
Speaker 1: constructive hand right, Well, NFL Films tweets that stuff out

1390
01:19:08,479 --> 01:19:11,040
Speaker 1: a lot too. But yeah, I go back and listen

1391
01:19:11,080 --> 01:19:15,639
Speaker 1: because sometimes I might have to. I might not remember

1392
01:19:15,720 --> 01:19:17,519
Speaker 1: something and how I called it, and I might want

1393
01:19:17,560 --> 01:19:19,040
Speaker 1: to go back and listen to it and say, hey,

1394
01:19:19,040 --> 01:19:21,599
Speaker 1: did I get that right or something like that, Or

1395
01:19:22,040 --> 01:19:24,000
Speaker 1: I want to listen to my tone. Did I go

1396
01:19:24,040 --> 01:19:27,120
Speaker 1: over a cliff and yell too loud? In some cases? Yes?

1397
01:19:27,120 --> 01:19:28,679
Speaker 1: And you got to pull that back a little bit.

1398
01:19:29,240 --> 01:19:32,120
Speaker 1: Yeah that's yeah. I mean I'm sitting there at my

1399
01:19:32,120 --> 01:19:34,599
Speaker 1: desk and I hear Brownie calling gain. He's over there

1400
01:19:34,600 --> 01:19:38,120
Speaker 1: listening to it. So yeah, it's yeah, you got If

1401
01:19:38,120 --> 01:19:40,600
Speaker 1: you're trying to get better, that's what you do. Yeah,

1402
01:19:40,680 --> 01:19:43,840
Speaker 1: Rachel asks. As good as being and his staff have been,

1403
01:19:44,479 --> 01:19:46,759
Speaker 1: is it fair to question his ability to scout lineman?

1404
01:19:46,800 --> 01:19:50,160
Speaker 1: Besides maybe Rousseau, none of our defensive lineman drafted in

1405
01:19:50,240 --> 01:19:52,280
Speaker 1: rounds one and two have lived up to their draft position,

1406
01:19:52,280 --> 01:19:55,240
Speaker 1: and basically none of our offensive lineman picks have panned out. Well.

1407
01:19:55,240 --> 01:19:57,240
Speaker 1: I would say Dawkins has turned into a pretty nice

1408
01:19:57,280 --> 01:20:02,960
Speaker 1: left tackle, even made a ball last year, So that

1409
01:20:03,000 --> 01:20:08,360
Speaker 1: would be my response. Spencer Brown. You heard Brandon being

1410
01:20:08,439 --> 01:20:11,479
Speaker 1: explained his situation, and you know, you can call it

1411
01:20:11,520 --> 01:20:13,839
Speaker 1: an excuse whatever you want, but coming off a back surgery,

1412
01:20:13,840 --> 01:20:15,960
Speaker 1: you miss basically all of training camp, barely played in

1413
01:20:16,000 --> 01:20:18,760
Speaker 1: the preseason, so his first half of the season was

1414
01:20:18,760 --> 01:20:24,080
Speaker 1: going to be a work in progress. You know, Dawson

1415
01:20:24,160 --> 01:20:27,840
Speaker 1: Knox didn't hit Peter till year three, so maybe give

1416
01:20:27,920 --> 01:20:30,320
Speaker 1: Spencer Brown another year see where it goes. Tommy Doyle

1417
01:20:30,360 --> 01:20:32,519
Speaker 1: lost his whole season due to an ACL injury in

1418
01:20:32,560 --> 01:20:37,599
Speaker 1: Week two or Week three against Miami. I think two

1419
01:20:39,240 --> 01:20:44,400
Speaker 1: the Bills have been more successful signing free agent offensive

1420
01:20:44,400 --> 01:20:47,000
Speaker 1: lineman than drafting them. Yeah, Wyatt Teller was a good

1421
01:20:47,000 --> 01:20:49,439
Speaker 1: offensive line pick, but yeah, and you know what, they

1422
01:20:49,479 --> 01:20:51,840
Speaker 1: moved him because they had what I thought it was

1423
01:20:51,840 --> 01:20:54,800
Speaker 1: where they traded him when they still had Richie Incognito

1424
01:20:54,840 --> 01:20:57,280
Speaker 1: and Eric Wood on the roster. It was after that

1425
01:20:57,520 --> 01:21:01,320
Speaker 1: after that, but THEYD three veteran guards in the pipeline

1426
01:21:01,680 --> 01:21:05,760
Speaker 1: that we're going to start ahead of him. In hindsight,

1427
01:21:05,880 --> 01:21:08,479
Speaker 1: Brandon Bean, to his credit, has said that was a

1428
01:21:08,520 --> 01:21:12,400
Speaker 1: mistake by him. Yeah, but there's alignment that they drafted.

1429
01:21:12,400 --> 01:21:16,439
Speaker 1: It was good pro Bowl guard, so pro guard. Yeah,

1430
01:21:17,680 --> 01:21:19,840
Speaker 1: And like I say all the time, any good GM

1431
01:21:19,880 --> 01:21:24,760
Speaker 1: will tell you, hitting on picks in the draft is

1432
01:21:24,760 --> 01:21:28,240
Speaker 1: a lot like a baseball player's batting average. If you

1433
01:21:28,280 --> 01:21:30,439
Speaker 1: can bat three hundred, you're doing pretty well. If you

1434
01:21:30,520 --> 01:21:34,360
Speaker 1: bat four hundred, you are in rare air in terms

1435
01:21:34,360 --> 01:21:38,920
Speaker 1: of getting hits. Like bona fide starters in the draft.

1436
01:21:39,439 --> 01:21:41,560
Speaker 1: If you bat four hundred in a draft class, you

1437
01:21:41,600 --> 01:21:45,439
Speaker 1: are killing it. Because that's the inexact science that it is. Yeah,

1438
01:21:45,560 --> 01:21:48,519
Speaker 1: it's yeah, you want to gotta hit on those. You

1439
01:21:48,560 --> 01:21:50,160
Speaker 1: need to hit on him. And the more you hit

1440
01:21:50,200 --> 01:21:52,840
Speaker 1: on the better it is. And it's exponential, the more

1441
01:21:52,880 --> 01:21:55,040
Speaker 1: starters you get out of your drafts that you can

1442
01:21:55,040 --> 01:21:56,799
Speaker 1: go back and look at it. I mean the Seattle

1443
01:21:56,800 --> 01:21:59,360
Speaker 1: Seahaks went to two Super Bowls because they got four

1444
01:21:59,400 --> 01:22:03,160
Speaker 1: starters in two consecutive drafts. Four not seven. They got

1445
01:22:03,200 --> 01:22:06,519
Speaker 1: four guys in one year, starters in that year, and

1446
01:22:06,560 --> 01:22:09,519
Speaker 1: then the next year they got four more, and they

1447
01:22:09,520 --> 01:22:13,400
Speaker 1: were a championships for years. And yeah, and they went

1448
01:22:13,439 --> 01:22:15,080
Speaker 1: to and won a Super Bowl, and went to and

1449
01:22:15,080 --> 01:22:17,320
Speaker 1: threw an interception on the goal line in another Super

1450
01:22:17,360 --> 01:22:19,759
Speaker 1: Bowl that they should have want to lose it. Yeah,

1451
01:22:20,360 --> 01:22:22,640
Speaker 1: let's check in one more time. See if Jerry and

1452
01:22:22,640 --> 01:22:25,000
Speaker 1: Buffalo is ready this time. What do you got first, Jerry,

1453
01:22:25,000 --> 01:22:28,080
Speaker 1: you're on one Bill's Lives. Yeah, sure, I am here.

1454
01:22:28,280 --> 01:22:30,320
Speaker 1: I am here this time. I wish you're earlier, but

1455
01:22:30,439 --> 01:22:33,439
Speaker 1: I had something happening, okay, any of it. Thank you,

1456
01:22:33,520 --> 01:22:36,559
Speaker 1: Brownie and Steve. I want to thank you guys just

1457
01:22:36,640 --> 01:22:39,800
Speaker 1: for being there, just for hearing everyone out and letting

1458
01:22:39,840 --> 01:22:43,599
Speaker 1: builds fans, you know, let you know, let our stuff. Oh,

1459
01:22:43,600 --> 01:22:45,040
Speaker 1: by the way, you guys were some of the most

1460
01:22:45,080 --> 01:22:46,519
Speaker 1: awesome gear. I just want to like you know that.

1461
01:22:47,280 --> 01:22:50,439
Speaker 1: But I'll be up one question for you, and that is,

1462
01:22:51,120 --> 01:22:52,519
Speaker 1: you know, I have to build it up a little

1463
01:22:52,520 --> 01:22:56,320
Speaker 1: bit here first. I think that Terry and Kim, it's

1464
01:22:56,320 --> 01:22:59,920
Speaker 1: just strong to look at people like Cliff Kingsbury, Byron

1465
01:23:00,120 --> 01:23:06,360
Speaker 1: left Widge, maybe any disciple of Mike Holmgren, because I mean,

1466
01:23:06,960 --> 01:23:09,439
Speaker 1: you know, and I know Steve's gonna say that that's

1467
01:23:09,479 --> 01:23:12,280
Speaker 1: a change over in the first year. But I mean,

1468
01:23:12,520 --> 01:23:15,720
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson did it, Lincoln Riley did it. So it's

1469
01:23:15,760 --> 01:23:18,120
Speaker 1: possible to change the offense in one year and still

1470
01:23:18,120 --> 01:23:21,240
Speaker 1: be a productive And the only question I have for

1471
01:23:21,400 --> 01:23:23,160
Speaker 1: both of you guys is when was the last time

1472
01:23:23,200 --> 01:23:26,160
Speaker 1: you said, boy, that was a great play call. Not

1473
01:23:26,240 --> 01:23:28,599
Speaker 1: a great play by Josh Allen, but that was a

1474
01:23:28,600 --> 01:23:31,120
Speaker 1: great play call whom I don't know how many times

1475
01:23:31,240 --> 01:23:33,080
Speaker 1: or whims all at the time you said that. That

1476
01:23:33,240 --> 01:23:35,439
Speaker 1: is all I have to say. Thank you guys. All Right, Jerry,

1477
01:23:35,479 --> 01:23:39,880
Speaker 1: thanks for the call first and foremost. I don't anticipate

1478
01:23:39,880 --> 01:23:43,200
Speaker 1: a change there based on what Brandon Being said earlier

1479
01:23:43,240 --> 01:23:46,519
Speaker 1: this week when he was asked about Ken Dorsey, he

1480
01:23:46,640 --> 01:23:49,519
Speaker 1: talked about how he did a lot of good things

1481
01:23:49,920 --> 01:23:54,000
Speaker 1: in his first year, which I think he did. You know,

1482
01:23:54,000 --> 01:23:55,439
Speaker 1: this is a guy that was doing it at this

1483
01:23:55,560 --> 01:23:58,639
Speaker 1: level for the first time ever. He was literally learning

1484
01:23:58,760 --> 01:24:02,320
Speaker 1: on the fly and had to inherit an offense that

1485
01:24:02,439 --> 01:24:05,160
Speaker 1: was a top five offense and kept it there. It

1486
01:24:05,320 --> 01:24:08,120
Speaker 1: was an offense that finished second in total offense, second

1487
01:24:08,120 --> 01:24:10,800
Speaker 1: in scoring. They were the only offense in football that

1488
01:24:10,880 --> 01:24:13,840
Speaker 1: converted more than fifty percent of their third downs, number

1489
01:24:13,840 --> 01:24:16,320
Speaker 1: one in the league, and they were top ten in

1490
01:24:16,360 --> 01:24:19,439
Speaker 1: red zone touchdown efficiency. They were ninth, So what do

1491
01:24:19,439 --> 01:24:21,800
Speaker 1: you want to change? So I don't know what you

1492
01:24:21,880 --> 01:24:27,040
Speaker 1: want to change for change sake and hope the next

1493
01:24:27,040 --> 01:24:32,400
Speaker 1: guy can do better. Like that's to me that might

1494
01:24:32,439 --> 01:24:37,000
Speaker 1: be a bigger risk. So I think, and truth be told,

1495
01:24:37,080 --> 01:24:38,800
Speaker 1: I think Doris is gonna be even better next year.

1496
01:24:39,400 --> 01:24:42,920
Speaker 1: And look, you can argue, Jerry, when was the last

1497
01:24:42,920 --> 01:24:45,680
Speaker 1: time you said, Wow, what a great play call. I

1498
01:24:45,720 --> 01:24:48,360
Speaker 1: don't know how anybody could say that on any play

1499
01:24:48,640 --> 01:24:52,280
Speaker 1: because you don't know what the play call is. Like

1500
01:24:52,520 --> 01:24:56,519
Speaker 1: with all the off script plays that Josh makes, there

1501
01:24:56,520 --> 01:24:58,680
Speaker 1: are great play calls that never see the light of

1502
01:24:58,760 --> 01:25:01,200
Speaker 1: day because Josh ad li and does something on his own.

1503
01:25:01,200 --> 01:25:04,599
Speaker 1: And that's great that Josh can do that. But everybody

1504
01:25:04,640 --> 01:25:08,080
Speaker 1: gets on Dorsey all the time for having all these

1505
01:25:08,120 --> 01:25:10,519
Speaker 1: downfield shots and where are the checkdowns? And where are

1506
01:25:10,560 --> 01:25:13,120
Speaker 1: the underneath options? I got news for you, there are

1507
01:25:13,120 --> 01:25:18,040
Speaker 1: plenty of on every play. Josh sometimes chooses not to

1508
01:25:18,160 --> 01:25:24,000
Speaker 1: utilize those. You can't blame the OC for that. Yeah,

1509
01:25:23,640 --> 01:25:26,080
Speaker 1: I don't know why. I don't. I don't know why

1510
01:25:26,120 --> 01:25:30,719
Speaker 1: you want to change the offense um. And like I said,

1511
01:25:30,840 --> 01:25:34,639
Speaker 1: I'll say it again. The thing that made this offense

1512
01:25:34,720 --> 01:25:37,440
Speaker 1: look like it sputtered was because they were getting intercepted

1513
01:25:37,439 --> 01:25:39,760
Speaker 1: and turning the football over. They've turned it over too much.

1514
01:25:40,640 --> 01:25:44,280
Speaker 1: That's not a problem with the scheme. That's a problem

1515
01:25:44,320 --> 01:25:46,920
Speaker 1: with the players. Now you can say, hey, Josh, we're

1516
01:25:46,920 --> 01:25:48,559
Speaker 1: trying to make too many hero throws and all that.

1517
01:25:48,840 --> 01:25:53,479
Speaker 1: Lest you go back and look, listen that that's that's

1518
01:25:53,520 --> 01:25:55,280
Speaker 1: on the players. That ain't on the coaches. That's not

1519
01:25:55,320 --> 01:25:58,599
Speaker 1: on the scheme. This offense scored more points this year

1520
01:25:58,640 --> 01:26:02,240
Speaker 1: than that that great offense they had last year. They

1521
01:26:02,280 --> 01:26:06,400
Speaker 1: scored more points this year per game. It was almost identical,

1522
01:26:06,520 --> 01:26:11,160
Speaker 1: but it was the same. Yeah, I don't know, they're

1523
01:26:11,160 --> 01:26:15,200
Speaker 1: not going to change the offense, no oh yeah. And

1524
01:26:15,280 --> 01:26:19,120
Speaker 1: Brandon Bean basically said, we've got to support Ken Dorsey

1525
01:26:19,520 --> 01:26:23,240
Speaker 1: in year two to be even better. So that leads

1526
01:26:23,240 --> 01:26:25,280
Speaker 1: me to believe he's going to be here. We got

1527
01:26:25,280 --> 01:26:27,559
Speaker 1: to take a break here. We got one final segment.

1528
01:26:27,600 --> 01:26:30,040
Speaker 1: We'll try to take a couple more questions in that segment.

1529
01:26:30,280 --> 01:26:33,120
Speaker 1: Here on an obl fan mail bag Friday on One

1530
01:26:33,120 --> 01:26:51,720
Speaker 1: Bill's Live. Stay tuned all right back here on a

1531
01:26:51,720 --> 01:26:54,160
Speaker 1: Friday on One Bills Live, Chris Brown, Steve tasker with

1532
01:26:54,200 --> 01:26:56,840
Speaker 1: you and we're gonna squeeze in one more phone call,

1533
01:26:57,000 --> 01:26:59,160
Speaker 1: and it's a Nick in Buffalo. What do you got

1534
01:26:59,200 --> 01:27:03,680
Speaker 1: for his? Nick? Hi? Has it gone good? Good? I

1535
01:27:03,840 --> 01:27:06,440
Speaker 1: just wanted to see what you guys would think about

1536
01:27:06,520 --> 01:27:09,360
Speaker 1: the Bills bringing back Singletary on a cheap one year

1537
01:27:09,400 --> 01:27:11,880
Speaker 1: deal and running a two running backs formation like the

1538
01:27:11,880 --> 01:27:15,880
Speaker 1: Cowboys do with Zeke and Pollard. I mean, there were

1539
01:27:15,920 --> 01:27:20,280
Speaker 1: times where they ran a pony package this year. Not

1540
01:27:20,479 --> 01:27:24,360
Speaker 1: often we saw it, I think most frequently against the

1541
01:27:24,360 --> 01:27:28,120
Speaker 1: Patriots in the first matchup, they ran at thirteen times

1542
01:27:28,160 --> 01:27:30,719
Speaker 1: and I think they threw out of it like nine times,

1543
01:27:32,200 --> 01:27:36,559
Speaker 1: which was kind of interesting to say the least. But

1544
01:27:37,760 --> 01:27:42,040
Speaker 1: I think Singletary is a question mark, and as you

1545
01:27:42,120 --> 01:27:44,680
Speaker 1: propose it, Nick, I don't see him coming back on

1546
01:27:44,720 --> 01:27:48,200
Speaker 1: a one year deal. I think Devin Singletary knows this

1547
01:27:48,280 --> 01:27:50,840
Speaker 1: is his second contract. He's going to look to make

1548
01:27:50,880 --> 01:27:53,840
Speaker 1: as much money as he can, and understandably so, because

1549
01:27:53,920 --> 01:27:56,920
Speaker 1: running back shelf lives in this league are very short.

1550
01:27:57,400 --> 01:28:01,280
Speaker 1: He's twenty four, and he know this is his big

1551
01:28:01,360 --> 01:28:03,759
Speaker 1: kick at a big money contract if he can find

1552
01:28:03,760 --> 01:28:06,320
Speaker 1: it somewhere. Now I'm not saying he can, but I

1553
01:28:06,360 --> 01:28:08,320
Speaker 1: think he's gonna look before he takes a one year

1554
01:28:08,360 --> 01:28:11,000
Speaker 1: deal anywhere, including here. I think you're also taking it

1555
01:28:11,040 --> 01:28:14,880
Speaker 1: for granted that doing a pony package with Cook, I

1556
01:28:15,320 --> 01:28:20,960
Speaker 1: presume James Cook and Devin Singletary. You think that would

1557
01:28:21,000 --> 01:28:24,160
Speaker 1: be some sort of a magic elixir to make this

1558
01:28:24,200 --> 01:28:28,759
Speaker 1: team run it better, throw it better. Somehow that would

1559
01:28:28,840 --> 01:28:31,439
Speaker 1: change them or what they do, And I don't think

1560
01:28:31,439 --> 01:28:37,040
Speaker 1: it would just bring more defenders into the box. And

1561
01:28:37,760 --> 01:28:40,240
Speaker 1: you know it changes the equation in different ways. So

1562
01:28:40,560 --> 01:28:42,960
Speaker 1: I don't know. No, if they couldn't make it work

1563
01:28:43,040 --> 01:28:45,320
Speaker 1: this year, why would they make it work next last?

1564
01:28:45,360 --> 01:28:50,000
Speaker 1: Next year? And I'm for one, Yeah, certainly they'll try it.

1565
01:28:50,040 --> 01:28:51,880
Speaker 1: And they did try it, Like Brownie said, they gave

1566
01:28:51,880 --> 01:28:54,040
Speaker 1: it a little shot. But you know, this is an

1567
01:28:54,040 --> 01:28:56,479
Speaker 1: offense that they did a lot of different things with

1568
01:28:56,520 --> 01:28:58,720
Speaker 1: a lot of different personnel. Bobby Hart was a big

1569
01:28:58,720 --> 01:29:00,840
Speaker 1: part of what they did. You always heard him his

1570
01:29:00,920 --> 01:29:04,000
Speaker 1: name being called out because he was an eligible receiver

1571
01:29:04,120 --> 01:29:06,479
Speaker 1: coming in. They tried a lot of different things and

1572
01:29:06,520 --> 01:29:10,280
Speaker 1: they went with what would work in any given week

1573
01:29:10,720 --> 01:29:13,719
Speaker 1: depending on the matchup. They want thirteen games to fourteen

1574
01:29:13,760 --> 01:29:16,519
Speaker 1: games doing it, and they were really tough to beat,

1575
01:29:16,680 --> 01:29:20,240
Speaker 1: and they scored more points than anybody except one team

1576
01:29:20,240 --> 01:29:22,439
Speaker 1: in the National Football League. So I don't think they

1577
01:29:22,479 --> 01:29:26,200
Speaker 1: need to change too much. Yeah, and I'm not They're

1578
01:29:26,200 --> 01:29:28,160
Speaker 1: gonna keep doing what they did and yeah, and it

1579
01:29:28,240 --> 01:29:31,479
Speaker 1: made the offense may look differently next year because of

1580
01:29:31,520 --> 01:29:33,760
Speaker 1: who they signed in free agency and what offensive lineman

1581
01:29:33,800 --> 01:29:37,080
Speaker 1: they have. Right. I think, as coach McDermott says all

1582
01:29:37,080 --> 01:29:39,679
Speaker 1: the time, it starts up front, and I think that's

1583
01:29:39,680 --> 01:29:42,400
Speaker 1: where we're going to see more changes than we will

1584
01:29:42,439 --> 01:29:46,559
Speaker 1: even in the offensive backfield going forward. That's the end

1585
01:29:46,640 --> 01:29:49,280
Speaker 1: of this week's edition of One Bill's Live. Steve and

1586

Speaker 1: I will catch you on Monday at one one. We'll
