00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:11,479
Speaker 1: Oh, great time. I'll watch Steve Taskers down down, text

2
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:23,239
Speaker 1: down over time. Welcome to One Bills Alive. You see

3
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 1: an outdoor shot of the stadium up on the far wall.

4
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 1: It's a gray, cloudy, kind of rainy day in Orchard Park.

5
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 1: The team is actually practicing on the field, which is

6
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:36,520
Speaker 1: why we've got the camera shot shooting at the names

7
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 1: on the wall. You see the lou Saban and the

8
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 1: Cookie Go Chris and Bruce. It's pretty good names something

9
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 1: pretty good guys out there. Yeah, I'm Steve Tasker, One

10
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:47,840
Speaker 1: Bills Alive. We're joined today as a co host Mattie

11
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 1: Glab in the house. Let's go a little weekend. It's

12
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 1: gonna be fun. Are you looking forward to the Jet game?

13
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: This is kind of a new I told this to

14
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 1: my family last night. We were talking about it. This

15
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: is uncharted territory. Have a meaningless game that can't hurt

16
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: us or help us. I mean, you can't. This is

17
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 1: a great situation to be in. You get to decide

18
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 1: who am I going to play? Who am I going

19
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: to sit where we've already clinched the playoffs. A great

20
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: situation here at One Bill's Drive right now. Okay, So

21
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: I chose the Bills to go eleven plus wins this year,

22
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: meaning a playoff win was the plus, but eleven was

23
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,040
Speaker 1: So does this count as a win for me? I'm

24
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 1: I've been lobbying for this all week. I think if

25
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: you're gonna if you get to a game where you've

26
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 1: already earned everything you want to earn, you got this

27
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 1: game that you gotta play, it doesn't help you. It

28
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: should count. It should count as a win. So you're

29
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: you're saying, regardless of the outside, it should have been

30
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 1: Really if if I'm not going to get this as

31
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: a win in my prediction, it should be a ten

32
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 1: plus win. Yeah, right, And they've they've got to win

33
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: one Sunday. You gotta win for me to get for

34
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: you to get your kudos on the game. It doesn't

35
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: mean anything. It's like they whatever, Hey, it's still it's

36
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: still a win. It's it would still would still be

37
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: a win. What are your thoughts? Eleven wins will be

38
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: great for this team? The early the early returns, all

39
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: the national media is picking the are picking the Jets.

40
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: Jets who are two and two in their last four.

41
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 1: They're playing better in the second half, they are They're

42
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 1: one and six on the road and all that. So

43
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: everybody thinks the Jets are going to come in and

44
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: uh and beat the Bills because the Bills are just

45
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 1: gonna turn it off. What are your thoughts. I I

46
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 1: like your the point that you had while we were

47
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: planning for today's show. Um, yes, of course, some of

48
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: the starters are going to get some rest, may play

49
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,959
Speaker 1: some of the game. Uh, some of our veterans may

50
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,639
Speaker 1: sit out. You know, we don't know yet. But of course,

51
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: with with the Bills already clinching the playoffs, you gotta

52
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: think some of these guys are gonna get rest because

53
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 1: we do not have that bye week heading into the playoffs.

54
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: But I like the bills chances and I like our

55
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 1: starters getting some time. But I also like our second

56
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 1: string and third string guys who can play. They're on

57
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 1: this team for a reason. Uh, they're in the NFL

58
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: for a reason. And I like their chances against the Jets,

59
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:56,639
Speaker 1: who have been a team on offense that rank at

60
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: the bottom of the league in several different categories. Yes,

61
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 1: they have a pretty good defense, they're six they have

62
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: the second best run defense. But I think this team

63
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: is beatable with a lot of our players, and it

64
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 1: should be exciting to see maybe some of these guys

65
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,799
Speaker 1: who haven't seen a lot this season get some reps, because, hey,

66
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: you never know when injuries can happen in the playoffs.

67
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,799
Speaker 1: Hopefully no injuries happen in the playoffs, but this will

68
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 1: be a good game to see some different players get

69
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,399
Speaker 1: some playing time. Yeah you agree with me, though. See

70
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: here's what I think about it. If from a player's standpoint,

71
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: I know what these guys are thinking, and this is

72
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 1: a close knit group. We've said it all years. Part

73
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 1: of the culture is part of the thing that's made

74
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: him so fun to watch. I think it's led to

75
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: a couple of tough victories where they've had guys rally

76
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: around each other, and do you know you can see

77
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: the genuine happiness for each other when they have success,

78
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: when you see Dion Dawkins catching a touchdown pass and

79
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: all the stuff that's happened. I think that's going to

80
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: show through in this game because as a player who

81
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: was on some teams like this, it is an absolute

82
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: blast to see guys who haven't had a chance to

83
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: contribute get a chance to contribute. You can bet that

84
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: Matt Barkley is going to come in, he's gonna get

85
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: some reps, he's gonna get some time, and everybody's gonna

86
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 1: hope and he kills it right. They're gonna be cheering

87
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: for him. That you can bet. For those of you

88
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: who are going to the game this weekend, the Bill's

89
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: sideline with Josh Allen standing over there in a stocking

90
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 1: cap or whatever. Whenever this happens or these uh substitutions go,

91
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 1: that sideline is going to be really animated for the

92
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: guys on the field that are really getting a chance

93
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: to think back to the preseason. That's right, the preseason,

94
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 1: the sideline was going crazy all the time when they

95
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: went undefeated in the preseason. I feel like it's going

96
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 1: to be a similar, similar scenario. It's gonna be like that.

97
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a real positive and fun atmosphere.

98
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 1: I think the guys that are gonna get a chance

99
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:38,280
Speaker 1: to play for the first time are gonna be able

100
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 1: to do it loose and free. The game they're not

101
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: expected to win. They're not supposed to win. They weren't

102
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: even supposed to be playing in a game like this,

103
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: and yet here they are, and it's gonna be fun.

104
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 1: For them to go out and you know, just show off. Yeah,

105
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 1: it's a great mindset to be in for a game

106
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: like this. I think the sidelines are going to be

107
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: all about it, the coaches are going to be all

108
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 1: about it. I think it's gonna be a lot of

109
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 1: fun for the sidelines and this team in particular in

110
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: the locker room to go out and play a game

111
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,559
Speaker 1: like this and watch these guys get a chance to play.

112
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: And I think it's gonna elevate them. I think it's

113
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: gonna they may not be starters or whatever and backups

114
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,840
Speaker 1: and stuff, but for whatever reason, but they're gonna be

115
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: elevated by that atmosphere on the sideline, in the locker

116
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: room and in their preparation, and I think it's going

117
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 1: to carry them through. And I think that's gonna be

118
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: enough to beat a team like the Gems. I don't

119
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:24,600
Speaker 1: know that the Jets are gonna show up in all

120
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 1: guns blazing on Week seventeen. Yeah, we'll see about that

121
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: they're trying to when they're trying to maybe go what

122
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 1: nine and seven on the season or seven and nine. Yes,

123
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,159
Speaker 1: we'll see, I mean maybe, And you know, good for

124
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 1: them if they are, If they show up and they've

125
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: you know, the word coming out of New York is

126
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 1: they're playing hard for Adam Gays in the second half

127
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: of the year. Yeah, it'll be also interesting. And shahn

128
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: Wick Dimmert talked about this in as press conferences this

129
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 1: week just about the starters when they are in there's

130
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 1: there's some things that he still wants to get figured

131
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: out before you hit that first playoff game of the season.

132
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 1: So it'll be interesting to see when they are in

133
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: that valuable time that they do get in the beginning

134
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: of the game wherever they do play. You know, there's

135
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 1: some things that this offense and this defense still wants

136
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 1: to get figured out, and this is a perfect game

137
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 1: to do that. Yeah. And the Jets, I mean, don't

138
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: forget the Jets started the season in the worst possible way.

139
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: They were one and seven in the first half of

140
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 1: the season, and now they're they're sitting at six and

141
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 1: nine trying to go seven to nine on the season.

142
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:25,919
Speaker 1: I mean, it's completely disappointing for them, given them what

143
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: the off season was. There was a time in this

144
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: last offseason and I'll go back to where Murph and

145
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 1: I were talking about them, you know, right before free agency,

146
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:34,840
Speaker 1: and before the people were talking about the Jets over

147
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: the Bills going to the playoffs in the off season,

148
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 1: and they were also talking about how the Bills and

149
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: the Jets were on the same trajectory. They both had

150
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:43,839
Speaker 1: a lot of money to spend in free agency. The

151
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 1: Jets got Levon Bell and they got h. C. J. Mosley.

152
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: They went out and got some high priced guys to

153
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 1: do it, and the Bills went more middle of the road.

154
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 1: They got Cole Beasley and John Brown, more secondary. They

155
00:06:56,480 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: weren't mark key names, they weren't four or fifteen million

156
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:02,919
Speaker 1: dollars names, but they were seven or eight nine million

157
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: dollars names and they were really productive players. Look how

158
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: it's played off for the Bills. I remember when the

159
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: Jets picked up left Bell. I was thinking, oh my gosh,

160
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 1: this is I am so scared for this. But he's

161
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: been having a very down year career, low for yards

162
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 1: per rush right now. It's a big lesson. The Bills

163
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 1: built their offensive line first, because they had they struggled

164
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 1: through it last year where their offensive line struggled and

165
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: was getting beat physically at the front of the up front,

166
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 1: particularly on the interior. They got four new starters on

167
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,119
Speaker 1: the offensive line. The Jets didn't. In fact, the Jets

168
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: got worse, and we brought one of their really good

169
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 1: players over to the Bills. Now he's he was a

170
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 1: good player for the Jet Spencer long Now he's a

171
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 1: backup for us and been a quality backup. The Bills

172
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 1: got better up front, and for me going forward, it's

173
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 1: just another lesson. You win the game in the trenches,

174
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 1: start with the defensive an offensive lines, and go from there.

175
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: You can't do anything you don't have anything up front.

176
00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: And I'm not even talking about pass rushers on the

177
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: defensive side, about size and quality of guys into depth

178
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: because we had this big and we're gonna talk to h. A.

179
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,559
Speaker 1: Mod Brooks, a former defensive back for the Buffalo Bills.

180
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 1: He's doing games. He's in town this week as a

181
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: former player. He's an analyst for ESPN. We're gonna ask him.

182
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: We had this conversation yesterday. Do you build your defense

183
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: from the front to back or the back to front?

184
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: And it's a good question. Bill's got a pretty good

185
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 1: front end back in the middle. The back end is

186
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 1: really really stone now and yeah, they're well, they're hitting

187
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: on all cylinders. The Bills have got a good defense.

188
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,079
Speaker 1: How they built it as irrelevant now because they've got

189
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: it going. But I think if you're starting from scratch,

190
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 1: you know, on offense, you start with that offensive line.

191
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 1: There's five guys out of the eleven that are on

192
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: the field. If those guys are clicking everybody else. If

193
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 1: you can't protect your quarterback, you can't do much of

194
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: anything in this league. And I've said it before, I

195
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,839
Speaker 1: love how they went out and built this offensive line,

196
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: picking veterans from other teams in the NFL who have

197
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 1: won at a high level, who have gone to the playoffs,

198
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: Guys who know how to play the type of football,

199
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: the type of style that coach McDermott and Brandon Bean

200
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: want want this team to play, and for them to

201
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:09,839
Speaker 1: come together and play the way that they have played,

202
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,599
Speaker 1: even with some injuries, some hiccups here and there, with

203
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 1: Ty and Secky and Mitch Morrise coming out sometimes, and

204
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 1: the way that they've been able to seamlessly rotate and

205
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 1: continue to play strong has just been so great to

206
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: see an offensive line that has has stuck together and

207
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 1: has had that chemistry when from day one it was

208
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: a lot of new players besides Stean Dawkins right. Even

209
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 1: in training camp, they were shifting around, Mitch Morse was

210
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:38,199
Speaker 1: in concussion protocol. Everybody had ankles and knees and pulled hamstrings.

211
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,079
Speaker 1: Offensive line never had their five guys together before they

212
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 1: started the regular season. But they're doing it now. They're

213

Speaker 1: getting it done, and we've got we're here till three o'clock.

248
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 1: I'm ready. Aside from staying healthy. What is the most

249
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: important aspect of Sunday's game versus the Jets. Is it

250
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:27,319
Speaker 1: one getting a win headed into the playoffs. Two getting

251
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 1: a look at the guys I've always wanted to see

252
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: an action all season, like the Matt Barkley's the you know,

253
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:35,079
Speaker 1: Duke Williams, DJ yelled and all these guys you want

254
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 1: to see. Or number three, it's the last chance for

255
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 1: the fans to see the team at home this year.

256
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 1: They're not gonna get a home playoff game. It doesn't

257
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 1: look like it was a slight chance, but you're not

258
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: gonna do It's not gonna happen. Or four, get into

259
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 1: the head of Kansas City and Houston with this game plan.

260
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: I think it's a great Twitter poony. You see thirty

261
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:55,559
Speaker 1: three percent of you say, hey, it's getting a win

262
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,319
Speaker 1: headed into the playoffs. Stay positive, go in with some momentum.

263
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 1: Twenty seven percent say hey, get a look of the

264
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: guys I wanted to see all season. Twenty six percent

265
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: almost the same is get into Kansas City and Houston's

266
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 1: head with a game plan. Of course, twelve twelve and

267
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 1: a half percent. I just want to see it. That's

268
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 1: the last chance to see the team this year live

269
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 1: and in person. Which answer, what are you feeling? I

270
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 1: think it's getting into Kansas City and Houston's head with

271
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 1: a game plan. I like that. You think you think

272
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,839
Speaker 1: McDermott's the type of coach who who do that? I

273
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: pick him? Stuff on yourself up for success next weekend,

274
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:29,719
Speaker 1: you know, And that's that's part of that. And big

275
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:31,680
Speaker 1: part of it this week is obviously staying healthy, because

276
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 1: that's been a big story. Who's gonna play, who's gonna say,

277
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: who's gonna rest, who's gonna get healthier, who needs to

278
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 1: stay sharp? That's been a big part of the conversation

279
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: this week. But the bigger part is you know, you

280
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:46,320
Speaker 1: gotta hit next week full steam rolling. Oh yeah, And

281
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 1: that means if you need to, you know, stick a

282
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: pull through the other guys spokes and send him, you know,

283
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 1: send his bicycle off into the ditch. Right. We give

284
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 1: him something to think about. UM. I think it's an

285
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 1: interesting point that you can do. You can show some

286
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 1: things on film this week that will cause the Houston

287
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,959
Speaker 1: Oilers or give the Houston Oilers or Houston Oilers wow,

288
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans, or the Kansas City Chiefs pause. There's say,

289
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 1: wait a minute, wait a minute, what are they doing here?

290
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 1: What's going on here? We got to be ready for this,

291
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 1: and actually they did it, and if they were, hopefully

292
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: the Bills can be successful doing it, and they think, well,

293
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:22,680
Speaker 1: they're good at it. You know, we gotta be ready

294
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: for this, so it'll sabotage the Texans ability to be

295
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 1: sharp for what you really want to do against them. Yeah,

296
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: I like that, And you got to believe both those

297
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 1: teams and chiefs and the Texans are already preparing for

298
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:39,199
Speaker 1: the Bills watching film, having coaches breakdown film, start to

299
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 1: dream up a game plan for they're looking ahead at us,

300
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,439
Speaker 1: no question. But it's interesting too because there's still a

301
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 1: chance that the Bills could go to Kansas City or

302
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 1: to Houston. Yeah, there's a couple of scenarios, right. The

303
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 1: scenarios are extensive and wide ranging, and we've got them

304
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 1: here and I'll show you. It's unbelieved what's going on

305
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 1: with these There's like thirty or there's like fifty possible

306
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: scenarios of which team because because there's five games, six

307
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: games in the AFC, and they all have their you know,

308
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: six teams with a chance to get in. And what

309
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 1: it means is if those games are you know, finish

310
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 1: in whatever combination they finish in, that affects you know

311
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 1: who's gonna play where and those Now I've got this all,

312
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: I've got this all shuffled around here, I got this.

313
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 1: Whole thing is a mess. But it's amazing that the

314
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 1: permutations of what could possibly happen for these playoffs, and

315
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 1: it's fun to think about it. Yeah, and it's so

316
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 1: nice that the Bills don't have to clinch this week.

317
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 1: They're not one of those few teams left that could

318
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 1: clinch a spot with a win or with waiting for

319
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 1: five other scenarios to happen to get into the playoffs.

320
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 1: I'm like twenty seventeen and I didn't count how many scenarios.

321
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 1: There's a whole list, and it's got to be fifty

322
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 1: three of them that I highlighted have a chance for

323
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 1: Oakland getting in. The only three combinations which is Kansas

324
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 1: City wins, New England wins, Baltimore wins, Oakland wins, Houston wins,

325
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 1: Indie wins. Now that doesn't change, but it also it

326
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: does change if other games go go differently. Right, So

327
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 1: there's only three combinations, and that's if the Chargers win

328
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 1: against Kansas City, New England has to win, Baltimore win,

329
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 1: Oakland has to win Houston, and Indie has to win. Now,

330
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:35,479
Speaker 1: it's just it goes on and on and there's only yeah,

331
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: I don't know what if it gets a little mind

332
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 1: boggling at this time of the regular season's trying to

333
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 1: keep up with all of those scenarios. It's so nice

334
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 1: not to be in that spot. Yes, when Bills were

335
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 1: two years ago where sixteen things have to happen, they

336
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: all did and it could happen for the Raiders. The

337
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 1: big fly in the ointment in the AFC playoff race

338
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 1: is this, Houston doesn't need to win and there they're

339
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 1: the NFC AFC South champions already. They don't need the win.

340
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 1: They're a better team than Tennessee is at this point,

341
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 1: but they don't need to win. Everybody else the favorites.

342
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 1: If the favorites all played their guys, it would fall

343
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 1: perfectly for Oakland. But Baltimore doesn't need to win. New

344
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 1: England kind of does need to win, but they're playing

345
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 1: in Miami. Kansas City does need to win, but they

346
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 1: have to win. If if New England gets beat by Miami.

347
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 1: That's the only time Kansas City needs to win, so

348
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 1: they don't. You know, they don't need to win either.

349
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 1: They're not gonna it's not gonna help them because New

350
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 1: England's not gonna lose to Miami. And Houston, who doesn't

351
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 1: need to win either. Now Tennessee needs the win badly. Yea,

352
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 1: they gotta win, and they're on the road in Houston,

353
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 1: a team that doesn't need the win. And there you

354
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 1: see as a graphic if you're watching on MSG all

355
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 1: five things that Houston needed are Oakland needed to happen.

356
00:16:56,480 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 1: Happened last weekend, which is crazy to think about, super crazy,

357
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,120
Speaker 1: and now you need five more things and the Browns

358
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 1: beating the Bengals. Baltimore needs to beat the Pittsburgh Steelers.

359
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:11,400
Speaker 1: Now the Steelers need the game, Baltimore doesn't. Tennessee needs

360
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,120
Speaker 1: the game Houston doesn't. And those are two games that

361
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:18,199
Speaker 1: have to go Oakland's way for the favorites, Baltimore and Houston,

362
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 1: the two teams that don't need to win, they've got

363
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,159
Speaker 1: to win for Oakland to have a shot. And of

364
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: course Indianapolis has got to beat the Jacksonville Jaguars. So

365
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 1: all five of those things have got to happen. In course,

366
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:29,679
Speaker 1: Oakland's got to beat their team. Yeah, and then you

367
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 1: think about the teams that don't necessarily need to win.

368
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 1: They're probably gonna arrest people too, So big time. You

369
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 1: don't think, Yeah, RG three's not is gonna start for

370
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 1: me Baltimore. Now, he's a good quarterback, he's a good QB.

371
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 1: He was Rookie of this offensive Rookie of the Year

372
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,199
Speaker 1: that year. You know then he you know, things have

373
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,400
Speaker 1: come apart for him since then, but he's a good quarterback.

374
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 1: He's got and you know he's gonna be highly motivates

375
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:51,640
Speaker 1: the same thing. Their culture in Baltimore is great too.

376
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 1: You can bet there's gonna be a lot of guys

377
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 1: that are, you know, keeping him motivated and having that

378
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,160
Speaker 1: positive vibe on the sidelines. It's gonna be a fun

379
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 1: game for those guys. Is it as unmeaningful as it

380
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: is to fans to have this, you know, like Bills

381
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 1: fans like, you know, you know, we're locked in. It's fun,

382
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 1: but we don't need to. You know, we're not gonna

383
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,879
Speaker 1: see Josh Allen much on Sunday. We're not going to

384
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,639
Speaker 1: see you know, Devin Singletary much on Sunday or all

385
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:23,120
Speaker 1: these guys. But it is for the team. It's gonna

386
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,120
Speaker 1: be a lot of fun, I think. Yeah, players, it's

387
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 1: meaningful to the starters, to the people who don't usually start,

388
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:30,880
Speaker 1: because those people are going to see playing time. And

389
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 1: who doesn't love to watch your brother's ball out on

390
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 1: the field. Yeah, Yeah, lots of stuff going on. It's

391
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: gonna be a fun weekend. You got stuff going on

392
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,959
Speaker 1: around the league too. Antonio Brown is visiting the Saints

393
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 1: this you know, trying to find a place where he

394
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 1: can play. Bills. Yeah, the Bills are gonna play either

395
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,239
Speaker 1: Houston or Kansas City in the first round. Right now,

396
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 1: it looks like Houston, but it could change depending on

397
00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 1: when losses between Houston and Kansas City Houston in Tennessee

398
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 1: and then Kansas City versus LA Chargers at home. Both

399
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,479
Speaker 1: those teams, Houston and Kansas City are at home, and

400
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 1: so the last time we see Philip Rivers, maybe that

401
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:14,719
Speaker 1: would be insane. Maybe Philip Rivers and Eli Manning going

402
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 1: out on the same year when they were drafted the

403
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,159
Speaker 1: same time. Did you think that that could happen? Wow? No,

404
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 1: I did not for No, that's two guys to play

405
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: sixteen years like they have and then get back and

406
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:26,640
Speaker 1: both of them probably headed to the Hall of Fame,

407
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 1: they were saying, and they were traded for each other

408
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 1: one draft day's Yeah that's pretty amazing. Yeah, good for them.

409
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:36,479
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, Shack Lawson did not practice to day.

410
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,959
Speaker 1: Andre Roberts is not practicing today. Ty and Secki's ankle.

411
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 1: He returned to practice this week. He got hurt all

412
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 1: the way back in week eleven. And like I said,

413
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,959
Speaker 1: we've got Greg Cosell, we've got a mob Brooks coming up,

414
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:51,120
Speaker 1: Lorenzo Alexander's coming up on the show. Got a lot

415
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 1: going on, And this Twitter poll is, aside from staining healthy,

416
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,120
Speaker 1: what's the most important aspect of today's game. We've got

417
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,879
Speaker 1: some people already chiming in on the tweet sheet. Tweet

418
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,440
Speaker 1: sheet brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official

419
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,400
Speaker 1: movers of the Buffalo Bills. Maddie, you want to read

420
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 1: the first one, first one? All right, So from Bills

421
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,679
Speaker 1: and Mets fan, he says, all season long, we've followed

422
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 1: up a loss with a win. I think there's some

423
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 1: importance to getting back on track with many starters not playing.

424
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,679
Speaker 1: Whoever is in the game will play hard, fast, and strong.

425
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,679
Speaker 1: I want to see a strong performance heading into the playoffs.

426
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 1: I completely agree with that one. Yeah, do you think

427
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:29,120
Speaker 1: there's anything about like, say, if so, if Josh Allen

428
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:32,120
Speaker 1: Devin single train the Number Ones go in there both

429
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 1: offensively and defensively, and say, throw up fourteen points in

430
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 1: the first quarter and then they sit down for three

431
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:40,239
Speaker 1: you know, at the end of the first quarter they

432
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:42,239
Speaker 1: all sit down, and then you know, the Bills end

433
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 1: up losing the game. Does that still make you feel good? No,

434
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:49,120
Speaker 1: if we lose, I'll be bummed, even though Number Ones

435
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 1: look sharp, and I'll still be bummed because it's a loss.

436
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,120
Speaker 1: I don't want them to lose going in the playoffs.

437
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 1: I want to win. I want to get to eleven

438
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 1: wins in the regular season. So you're right, Steve, Yeah,

439
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 1: I do need to get to the eleven wins right,

440
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 1: all right? Max? On the tweet sheet, I still hope

441
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:06,640
Speaker 1: they sit a few key players so I can get

442
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:08,880
Speaker 1: a look at some other guys. I like to see

443
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 1: Robert Foster and Duke Williams get a larger role and

444
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:13,920
Speaker 1: see what they can do with eighty percent of the snaps.

445
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 1: I believe one or both of them could contribute big

446
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 1: in big ways if given the opportunity. Yeah, I mean,

447
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:23,399
Speaker 1: well that's the whole story. With his Bill's team. You

448
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,879
Speaker 1: want to see guys contribute. The offense has struggled to

449
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:29,120
Speaker 1: score points this year, although they've been much much better

450
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 1: than they were a year ago, a lot more fun

451
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 1: to watch as well, and a lot more consistent even

452
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 1: despite their difficulties in getting into the end zone. But

453
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 1: I think it the tough part about being an NFL

454
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 1: player is getting to that point, not just where you're

455
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,639
Speaker 1: a player, but also getting on the field. You know,

456
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,160
Speaker 1: Duke Williams, he's probably been working really hard, but it's

457
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 1: hard for him to bust in because if he goes in,

458
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,879
Speaker 1: somebody's got to sit down. It's not like, well you

459
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 1: should play him and him and him, Well, who's gonna

460
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,679
Speaker 1: you can't play you know, three left tackles. You know,

461
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 1: you can't play five wide receivers and take you gotta

462
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,400
Speaker 1: sit down. Devin Singletary and Dawson Knox and some guys

463
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,399
Speaker 1: that are pretty good. It's hard to find room on

464
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,199
Speaker 1: a roster that's you know, nine and five headed or

465
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 1: ten and five headed for eleven and five. It's you know,

466
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,959
Speaker 1: they're they're not shuffling the deck very much. No, and

467
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 1: these are these are also good players that are on

468
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 1: the bench. It's it's another good problem to have right now.

469
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,399
Speaker 1: It's it's tough to play guys who are sitting because

470
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 1: the guys who are who are playing right now are

471
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 1: are being productive. Yes, the offense is ranked twenty third

472
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 1: when it comes to points per game, but we've seen

473
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 1: an increase in what Josh has been able to do

474
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 1: this year in a lot of different categories, as well

475
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 1: as our wide receivers. Devin Singletary, Uh, he's going to

476
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 1: be get to one thousand scrimmage yards this season. He's

477
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:45,959
Speaker 1: very close and would be the first one to do it, uh,

478
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 1: rookie wise since Marshawn Lynch, which all these records, all

479
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 1: these milestones that this team is breaking and passing. This

480
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 1: year has shown the growth since Sean McDermott has gotten here. Yeah,

481
00:22:58,240 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 1: and it's been on both sides of the ball. The

482
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:01,880
Speaker 1: defense is good right away when Sean got here. He's

483
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 1: a quality defensive coordinator. Leslie Frazier has done a phenomenal

484
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 1: job they've day ahead of the game, ahead of the curve.

485
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 1: They've made in game adjustments that have been obvious or

486
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:12,119
Speaker 1: at least the production has changed so much during the

487
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:15,199
Speaker 1: regular season. I mean during games like you come in

488
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 1: and you know they get hit in the mouth earlier, whatever,

489
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 1: and that's so tough to do. To go into the

490
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 1: locker room and to wipe your game plan out of

491
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 1: the way and to build something else within ten to

492
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes and have your team executed. That says so

493
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:29,920
Speaker 1: much about the level that this defense is playing at,

494
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 1: how smart these players are, how much Tremaine Edmunds has

495
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,479
Speaker 1: grown from year one to year two. I mean, I

496
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:38,679
Speaker 1: think that's that's probably one of the best things that

497
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 1: this defense has been able to do, and to show

498
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 1: this year that they can make halftime adjustments. That's going

499
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 1: to play huge into the playoffs because you're playing talented

500
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 1: teams who can probably play a defense a little bit

501
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 1: better like the Bills than some other teams who have

502
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 1: played against the Bills this since it hasn't even been

503
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 1: really it's have been some at halftime, and it's also

504
00:23:56,800 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 1: been during games. They've adjusted quarter to quarter, series to series,

505
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 1: and I think that's kind of the atmosphere that the

506
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 1: league is in now, it's you know, you don't wait

507
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 1: till halftime to make adjustments anymore. You've got to get

508
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 1: on it, uh and make some adjustments on the fly.

509
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 1: And I think, and you mentioned him, Tremaine Edmonds, that's

510
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:15,919
Speaker 1: his job because the coaches have to come to him

511
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:17,639
Speaker 1: and say, here's what's going on, and he's got to

512
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:19,400
Speaker 1: be on and say, oh, I see her. He's got

513
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 1: to understand the adjustments. He's got to communicate him to

514
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:24,400
Speaker 1: his guys. He's got to get him on the same page.

515
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:26,239
Speaker 1: And then when they get on the field and they

516
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 1: see that to be a loud enough and confident enough

517
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:34,879
Speaker 1: to get him and make those adjustments. Now, it takes

518
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,679
Speaker 1: a middle linebacker who is a PhD in your defense

519
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,879
Speaker 1: to do that, and Tremaine Edmonds has gotten better and

520
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 1: better at doing that. He's getting a higher and higher

521
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:45,880
Speaker 1: level of thinking about the defense both front end back,

522
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 1: the ability to mesh the coverages with the fronts and

523
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 1: get out ahead of the game plan and the adjustments

524
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,199
Speaker 1: so that those guys can play all together. And they

525
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:57,680
Speaker 1: you know, you've seen it. They've been really really efficient.

526
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 1: You don't see guys running free very much. You don't

527
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 1: see guys with busted plays, you don't. You know. The

528
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:04,639
Speaker 1: thing that was the buggaboo this last week, it was,

529
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:06,919
Speaker 1: you know, we had some misstackles. Yeah, they had a

530
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 1: guy there to make the tackle. The defense was called right,

531
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:11,119
Speaker 1: it was performed right. He's had a guy, you know,

532
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:15,119
Speaker 1: drop off on a tackle. Couldn't couldn't wrap up. The

533
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 1: coordinators got to be pretty happy with the scheme and

534
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 1: the plan that they're doing. But you know, the players

535
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 1: have got to you know, and in a game like

536
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:23,639
Speaker 1: the like the New England for instance, you know, the

537
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:25,639
Speaker 1: margins are so small. You know, one misstackle it's like,

538
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 1: oh and you know the game is done. Yeah, So

539
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 1: it's pretty frustrating at times, but they're still I think

540
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 1: playing at a high level. It's been fun to see, definitely,

541
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:36,200
Speaker 1: and that the Patriots offense played, uh, played like they

542
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,239
Speaker 1: haven't played in a long time. That was probably the

543
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 1: best that offense has played all season against a really

544
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:43,880
Speaker 1: tough defense. And you got to think that this defense

545
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 1: fixes some of those small problems and miss tackles. And

546
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 1: I believe the Patriots had one hundred forty three rushing yards,

547
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 1: which we haven't seen a team rack up that many

548
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 1: rushing yards against uh the Bill's defense since they fixed

549
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 1: that run defense. And I talked to several players in

550
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 1: the locker room, several defensive guys about what the difference

551
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 1: has been this year. And we'll talk to Lorenzo later

552
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 1: when he comes on, but he told me the defense,

553
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 1: the defense this season, and the difference has been as

554
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:16,440
Speaker 1: these younger players expediting their expectations and foregoing the fact

555
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 1: that hey, I'm good at football, I can play at

556
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 1: a high level, and putting even more time into film study,

557
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:25,159
Speaker 1: into time after practice, in a time meeting with teammates,

558
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,880
Speaker 1: meeting with guys you're lining up right next to so

559
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,239
Speaker 1: that you're on the same page all the time, so

560
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 1: that when you get into team meetings, when you get

561
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 1: into the game, you're way more prepared. So he said,

562
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,440
Speaker 1: guys like Tremaine are playing like fifth and six year

563
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 1: players right now because they are putting in all that

564
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 1: extra time, watching all that extra film on their own.

565
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 1: He said that wasn't the case the last season. You

566
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:47,879
Speaker 1: have a lot more guys that are that are dedicated

567
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:51,359
Speaker 1: to the film study this season. Maddie Glab Steve Tasker

576
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:26,879
Speaker 1: little minute here after if we had that first segment

577
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:30,160
Speaker 1: of the show. We're gonna get gonna look ahead look Ahead,

578
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:32,959
Speaker 1: look Ahead of the weekend. This weekend look Ahead presented

579
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 1: by Amtrak on Amtrak Get carried Away. This is the

580
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 1: look ahead. So I want you to mad all right,

581
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:45,640
Speaker 1: mad girl, I got you to break down the scenarios

582
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 1: and the importance of play the week seventeen matchups and

583
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:52,880
Speaker 1: how they affect me in my life. Okay, So here's

584
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,400
Speaker 1: what you need snow. If you're gonna watch some other games,

585
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 1: there's some good games on this weekend, but games that

586
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,400
Speaker 1: they won't affect us. It's just about who we will

587
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:03,359
Speaker 1: play in the first round of the playoffs. So you're

588
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,920
Speaker 1: looking at Chiefs at Chargers or Chargers at Chiefs one

589
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 1: o'clock on CBS, and then Titans at Texans at four

590
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:15,639
Speaker 1: twenty five. So take notes, Tasker and what's the other one?

591
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 1: Titans at Texans. So the Chiefs are a nine point

592
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:25,880
Speaker 1: favorite against the Charters. The Titans are a favorite three

593
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 1: and a half point favorite against the Texans. So if

594
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 1: the Chiefs beat the Chargers, are the Chiefs are a

595
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 1: nine point favorite against the Chargers. So if the Chiefs

596
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 1: beat the Chargers, they will get the higher seed, which

597
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 1: is the two or the three seed, and Houston will

598
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 1: be the four seed and play the Bills if the

599
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 1: Texans win. If the Texans beat the Titans and the

600
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 1: Chiefs lose to the Charters, Houston would have the higher

601
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 1: seed and then the Bills would be playing the Chiefs

602
00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 1: going to arrowhead. Kansas City win, nothing changes, right if

603
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 1: Kansas City wins. What if they both lose. If they

604
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 1: both lose, it's the same thing if they both lose

605
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 1: or they both win. So if they both lose, nothing,

606
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 1: the Chiefs have the better record. Bill's play Houston. Both

607
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 1: teams win the better records. Ye, all right, and plus

608
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 1: and so Casey's a nine point favorite and the Houston

609
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 1: Texans are an underdogs. Are the underdog in this one

610
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 1: because because of the fact that doesn't mean anything, yeah, exactly,

611
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 1: and you got to believe like they're gonna wrest some players.

612
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 1: I know, Deshaun Watson and DeAndre Hopkins have been limited

613
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 1: a little bit this week. Jat is he back in?

614
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:43,479
Speaker 1: Is he gonna get some reps? That's what they're saying,

615
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 1: Then he'll be ready for the playoffs. That means us

616
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 1: that would be a little crazy. But their their defense,

617
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 1: of course, and we've we've talked about this multiple times.

618
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 1: Houston's defense is no bueno. They are twenty eighth in

619
00:29:56,920 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 1: the league. Um, when you look at Titans text this game,

620
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 1: the Titans offense is averaging twenty four and a half

621
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 1: points per game. Houston's offense averaging twenty four point three

622
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 1: points per game. So it's pretty close with what they're

623
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 1: putting up on the scoreboard on offense. Titans defense twenty second,

624
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 1: Houston's defense twenty eighth. But should we get into what

625
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 1: a Tayshawn Gibson said that he wants to do against

626
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 1: the Titans. Yeah, Deshaun Gibson wants to be the grinch

627
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 1: on Christmas for the Titans. He because here's the thing.

628
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 1: If Houston wins, Tennessee's out of the playoffs, Yeah, they're done.

629
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 1: Tennessee wins an in, they're in, and of course their

630
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 1: division rivals, there's no love loss between them. So Tayshawn

631
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 1: Gibson had this to say about the chance to spoil

632
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 1: the holidays for the Tennessee Titans. Here's the Texans safety.

633
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 1: We definitely gonna put our best foot fall, man, and

634
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 1: eleven to five sound a lot better than ten and six.

635
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 1: So a playoff or not, Man, I think that we

636
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 1: go out there to win every game and that's what

637
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 1: we're gonna do. So that would be a little special

638
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 1: to end it for them. Yeah, that's always funny whatever. Man.

639
00:30:57,320 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 1: I think that, you know, since I've been here, I

640
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 1: understanding ports the b the Titans here, so I think that,

641
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 1: you know, it's a lot of familiarities with the head

642
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 1: coach being here obviously years ago. So I think that

643
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 1: it's gonna be just a fun game for us to

644
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 1: go out there. If you could crush somebody dreams and

645
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 1: a process. Man, play grints if you will, and I'm

646
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 1: wrong with that. Man. Everybody liked the Grints a little bit.

647
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 1: To Sean Gibson talking about what it was like, I

648
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 1: was there, I mean it does mean something. I think

649
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:25,959
Speaker 1: it'll mean something for the Jets to come back on

650
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 1: Week seventeen and beat the Bills after, you know, starting

651
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 1: their season off with such high expectations and getting smacked

652
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 1: in the mouth. The Bills had to come back in

653
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 1: that game sixteen point or maybe even the fourth remember now,

654
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 1: sixteen final score. I'll never forget. I was watching that

655
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 1: game from home and when Josh Allen hit John Brown

656
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:50,240
Speaker 1: on the sideline and John Brown the guy missed the tackle.

657
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:52,600
Speaker 1: John Brown went in for the score to put them

658
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 1: up or put it tied up. I couldn't. I was like, oh,

659
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 1: you know, it was a huge comeback. Oh yeah, and

660
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 1: it was fun man, I was. I thought, wow, And

661
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 1: he didn't know where it was gonna lead because you

662
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 1: knew there was issues with the team with the offense anyway,

663
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 1: and have him come back and win that first game,

664
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 1: it meant so much after the whole long off season

665
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 1: and then him see him do that. Yeah, New York

666
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 1: and I think the Jets remember, we'll remember that, probably

667
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:22,040
Speaker 1: remember it better than the Bills will. I remember. I

668
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 1: was watching that game with Fred Jackson because we do

669
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 1: the postgame show together. And in the beginning, you know,

670
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 1: the Jets get on the scoreboard. I'm looking at the

671
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 1: scoring uh plays from that game. So they get on

672
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 1: the scoreboard in the first quarters six to zero and

673
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 1: Fred is like, oh gosh, is it are we going

674
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 1: this way again? And then the Bills came back and

675
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 1: he was like, Okay, I like this team. I think

676
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 1: this team is going to do something. So the Bills scored.

677
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:52,160
Speaker 1: Let's see, they got on the scoreboard in the third

678
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 1: quarter with the field goal and then the Josh Allen

679
00:32:57,040 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 1: scramble for a touchdown and then deep passed to John

680
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 1: Round for thirty eight yards. Right, they scored in the

681
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. They scored the first quarter, then the third quarter,

682
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 1: third quarter, third quarter, and third quarters, so they were

683
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 1: up sixteen nothing, and the Bills came back and scored

684
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 1: seventeen unanswered in the third and fourth quarter. With three

685
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 1: forty eight left in the third they got a field goal.

686
00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 1: Four turnovers in that game, a field goal. Josh Allen

687
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 1: had two interceptions, how dark did it look on week

688
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 1: one when we're trailing sixteen nothing and we have to

689
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 1: settle for a forty three yard field goal with three

690
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 1: forty eight left in the third just to get on

691
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 1: the board. Everybody's probably thinking, here we go again, kidding.

692
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:47,800
Speaker 1: And then Josh, remember this is when we saw it too.

693
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 1: They got they got another they got the ball back

694
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 1: Josh Man and this is when Josh they snapped it

695
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 1: to Josh and did he scramble or did he or

696
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 1: was this a called run for the first touchdown for

697
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 1: the first time day and says three run, I don't know,

698
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 1: might have been that called run. Oh that was a

699
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 1: giant game the next weekend where they did that. So

700
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 1: he ran scored in that right in the right hand

701
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:12,719
Speaker 1: front corner of the ends. Okay, it's ten, you know,

702
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 1: ten to sixteen. And then we came down the thirty

703
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:16,800
Speaker 1: eight yard pass to John Brown one on one coverage.

704
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:19,400
Speaker 1: John Brown had one hundred and twenty three receiving yards

705
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:22,840
Speaker 1: in that game. What that game was I remember was

706
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 1: it was a relief because, um, you know, get that

707
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 1: first win. Huge monkey off the back. Wow, that was great.

708
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 1: That was great. What are you so? What else are

00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 1: a big play happens for the Bills, are you a

732
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:37,839
Speaker 1: cheer for the Bills kind of cheer or are you

733
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:41,480
Speaker 1: a yeah take that? Are you a smack talking cheerer?

734
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 1: It depends on the scenario. Mean score, Yeah, you see

735
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:48,760
Speaker 1: the difference, right and saying I'm mostly cheer for the Bills.

736
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 1: But I mean if the other teams getting some cheap

737
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 1: shots and playing dirty, I'm I'm the smack talk right

738
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:56,320
Speaker 1: then we gotta get a Twitter poll on that sometime

739
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:58,760
Speaker 1: in the future. Are you a smack talking cheer person

740
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 1: or are you just happy for I definitely get out

741
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:02,920
Speaker 1: of the seat and have to like do some labs,

742
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:06,760
Speaker 1: you know, pump when what did you do when Dawson

743
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:09,000
Speaker 1: Knox caught the deep ball and the Patriots to tie

744
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:12,400
Speaker 1: it up at halftime? I think I definitely jumped out

745
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:14,319
Speaker 1: of the chair, said some things that I maybe can't

746
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 1: say on air, and it's high five and spread. That

747
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 1: was a smack talk cheer for me. There's no dwo

748
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:23,000
Speaker 1: ways about it. Yeah yeah, And by the way, do

00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:29,840
Speaker 1: be the legend of the game. Let's talk about that. No,

751
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:32,360
Speaker 1: arrogant do you have to be? How arrogant do you

752
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 1: have to be to label yourself as a legend. Apparently

753
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:39,080
Speaker 1: you are not arrogant, just as arrogant and me, I'm

754
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 1: the legend of the game this week, and I'm pumped

Speaker 1: some things wrong or had bad seasons when they were

858
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:51,239
Speaker 1: supposed to have good seasons, and then's when they's fire

859
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:53,920
Speaker 1: their head coaches. One team that is not going to

860
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:55,759
Speaker 1: do that, that just announced that this morning, had a

861
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:57,719
Speaker 1: little press conference actually was going on in his last

862
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:01,640

863
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:05,960
Speaker 1: Dan Quinn and the general manager Demetrough. They're gonna come

864
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:09,040
Speaker 1: back in twenty twenty. For those of not too much

865
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:11,200
Speaker 1: skin off us, it's down now the conference in the

866
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 1: NFC South. But here's what happened to the Falcons. They

867
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:16,240
Speaker 1: went one and seven in the first half of the season,

868
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:20,000
Speaker 1: six straight losses. What lost to the Vikings opening day,

869
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 1: then they beat the Eagles, and then they lost sixth

870
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:25,319
Speaker 1: straight all the way through to the bye week. They

871
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:27,080
Speaker 1: came back after the bye. We can now they've won

872
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:28,920
Speaker 1: five out of their last seven to end the season

873
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:31,200
Speaker 1: and have looked much better and when their last three

874
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:35,319
Speaker 1: and Arthur Blanket owner says, they're bringing everybody back. What

875
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:37,040
Speaker 1: do you think? What are your thoughts about that? I mean,

876
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:40,439
Speaker 1: so that's one that's one head coaching job that's not open.

877
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:45,560
Speaker 1: And you've heard a lot of the players when I'm

878
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 1: watching NFL Network or whatever when they cut two players

879
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:52,719
Speaker 1: sound inside of that locker room, a lot of the

880
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:56,040
Speaker 1: players say, we love this coaching staff, we love dan Quinn.

881
00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:58,600
Speaker 1: We want to play for him. We don't want to

882
00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:02,359
Speaker 1: see him go anywhere else. So they've won the last three.

883
00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:05,400
Speaker 1: They beat a forty Niners team who is who is

884
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:08,160
Speaker 1: pretty good. Yes, their defense is dropped off a little

885
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:13,399
Speaker 1: bit as of late. Um, but Julio Jones has been

886
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:17,520
Speaker 1: has been playing pretty dank the last six weeks. He

887
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:19,880
Speaker 1: kind of came out of nowhere. He started this season

888
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:22,719
Speaker 1: playing not so well. But we were talking about this,

889
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:25,960
Speaker 1: Uh in the office. When do you have to make

890
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:29,960
Speaker 1: an announcement to let people know that your GM and

891
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:32,920
Speaker 1: your head coach are coming back. How bad does it

892
00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:35,520
Speaker 1: get when you have to make an announcement like that. Yeah,

893
00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:38,440
Speaker 1: the Bills are making an announcement saying, hey, guess what

894
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:41,799
Speaker 1: our GM's gonna be back next year. You know, right right,

895
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:44,840
Speaker 1: that's right, We're not doing that. Bills are the bills.

896
00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:46,879
Speaker 1: In fact, one of the reasons I think they've had

897
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:51,759
Speaker 1: such market and steady progress is because of the stability

898
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:54,320
Speaker 1: and the and the continuity. They didn't lose to They

899
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:58,120
Speaker 1: did change over some some coaching staff members, and and

900
00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:02,960
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott may here in Buffalo this last offseason made

901
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:06,640
Speaker 1: some changes to the staff and almost every position they

902
00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:09,400
Speaker 1: got younger and a little hungrier and guys who are

903
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:11,400
Speaker 1: really ready to grind it out and trying to advance

904
00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:14,200
Speaker 1: through the coaching staff. He got some younger, more ambitious

905
00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:16,680
Speaker 1: coaches who knew that there were some dudes to be

906
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:20,560
Speaker 1: paid to get to the NFL and to be successful

907
00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:22,080
Speaker 1: in it. And he wanted that kind of attitude on

908
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:25,840
Speaker 1: his staff. And certainly, I mean, you can say whatever

909
00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:30,680
Speaker 1: you want. I mean, it looks to be successful so far.

910
00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:35,080
Speaker 1: And you look at usually there's like six or seven

911
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:39,600
Speaker 1: or eight coaches who change over in the NFL. So

912
00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:41,480
Speaker 1: if you go down the list, yep, have you got

913
00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:43,120
Speaker 1: your little you have a list on the top of

914
00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:45,279
Speaker 1: your head. I kind of you, I see your list.

915
00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:50,400
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers already open. Yep, that's Cleveland Browns Freddie Kitchens.

916
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:55,640
Speaker 1: I don't know, we'll see Dallas Jason Garrett. That seems

917
00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:57,920
Speaker 1: a foregone conclusion or less a miracle happens they get

918
00:44:57,920 --> 00:45:00,040
Speaker 1: into the playoffs and make a run. Doug Marron and

919
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:02,640
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville that looks like a team that's making some change.

920
00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:05,160
Speaker 1: They already fired, they've already made a couple. The New

921
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:09,880
Speaker 1: York Giants, a team not known for changing out head coaches.

922
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:14,640
Speaker 1: But yet you know, with what they've gone through, how

923
00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:17,600
Speaker 1: much are you gonna blame Pat Shermer for You know,

924
00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:20,120
Speaker 1: you're starting a rookie quarterback. Yeah, and you had a

925
00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:24,120
Speaker 1: quarterback in Eli Manning that was unproductive and you probably

926
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:27,120
Speaker 1: didn't envision say Quon Barkley having the year that he's

927
00:45:27,120 --> 00:45:29,440
Speaker 1: having right now. And what about out to the Washington

928
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:32,680
Speaker 1: Redskins that that job Jay Gruden started the season. I remember,

929
00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:35,280
Speaker 1: it's been like it seems like months since he was fired.

930
00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:37,720
Speaker 1: It was during the season. So no, those are jobs

931
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:41,480
Speaker 1: that's six right there, and certainly you can make I

932
00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:44,360
Speaker 1: don't think anybody else is gonna make. I mean, you

933
00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:46,719
Speaker 1: go down the list. You know, the Dolphins, there's talking

934
00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:48,680
Speaker 1: about Brian Flores being one and done. I don't think

935
00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:52,520
Speaker 1: that's going to happen. I'm gonna bring him back the

936
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:54,799
Speaker 1: Colts and taking the Packers. All these teams just it

937
00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:57,720
Speaker 1: looks like Matt Patricia's coming back to Detroit. The Denver

938
00:45:57,800 --> 00:46:01,360
Speaker 1: Broncos looked like they're gonna stick with Vic Fangio. You know.

939
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:04,520
Speaker 1: So there's not really that many obvious choices for head

940
00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:07,000
Speaker 1: coaching changes this year. And you've got a couple of

941
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:10,400
Speaker 1: guys like Ron Rivera, who says he wants to coach again.

942
00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:15,400
Speaker 1: And there's a other coaching Mike McCarthy who from the

943
00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:18,200
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers, who has really been out of football

944
00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:19,719
Speaker 1: for a year he wants to get back in. So

945
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:22,120
Speaker 1: there's some quality guys out there who've had some success

946
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:25,040
Speaker 1: who may get a chance to do it with another team.

947
00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:27,880
Speaker 1: It'll be interesting. And then there's always the question of

948
00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:32,359
Speaker 1: do you dip down into college and if you do,

949
00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:34,960
Speaker 1: who do you pick? You see some of these NFL

950
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:38,200
Speaker 1: coaches and college coaches that go up and down in

951
00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:42,560
Speaker 1: between the leagues. Not super super common, No question that

952
00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:46,279
Speaker 1: it's it can be done. Jimmy Johnson did it way

953
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:48,120
Speaker 1: back in the day when I did it when when

954
00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:49,799
Speaker 1: I was playing, but it took him like four or

955
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:51,400
Speaker 1: five years to get there, right, right, It took him

956
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:55,319
Speaker 1: a while the team was depleted. And then you've got

957
00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:58,759
Speaker 1: guys like well, Cliff Kingsbury in Arizona, they're starting to

958
00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:02,560
Speaker 1: find their stride after a year. They've it can be done.

959
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:05,440
Speaker 1: You've had seen guys struggle with a chip. Kelly not

960
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:07,920
Speaker 1: so good. Although he did win twenty games for the

961
00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:11,239
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles, that team's market, it seemed to get worse

962
00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:15,440
Speaker 1: and worse. Right, So it's a different job coaching in

963
00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:18,240
Speaker 1: the NFL than it is in the regulars in the NFL.

964
00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:22,000
Speaker 1: So don't think it is an automatic transfer, right, No, No,

965
00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:25,480
Speaker 1: not at all. Two links coming up right after the break,

966
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:28,279
Speaker 1: Greg Cosell of ESPN NFL Matchups gonna be with us,

1014
00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:06,000
Speaker 1: How is your week, Steve? Maddy? Great to be with

1015
00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:09,640
Speaker 1: you guys. Unfortunately, Steve, my week is like any other week.

1016
00:50:09,680 --> 00:50:12,520
Speaker 1: You know, it's one of those where kind of Christmas

1017
00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:14,280
Speaker 1: seems to come in the middle of the football season.

1018
00:50:14,280 --> 00:50:16,799
Speaker 1: It's funny how that works. It seems to happen every year, right,

1019
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:20,439
Speaker 1: Wednesdays probably for the football people, probably one of the

1020
00:50:20,520 --> 00:50:22,840
Speaker 1: good days to have the game the holiday fall on,

1021
00:50:22,880 --> 00:50:25,120
Speaker 1: because you can kind of squeeze in one day in

1022
00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:29,839
Speaker 1: the week where you can you know, leave right, well,

1023
00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:34,200
Speaker 1: maybe you can't, I can't, right right, perfect, perfect, Let's

1024
00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:37,000
Speaker 1: let's go back and let's forget about this meaningless game

1025
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:38,719
Speaker 1: against the Texans. What do you think did you get

1026
00:50:38,760 --> 00:50:42,319
Speaker 1: a chance to watch any of the Bills Patriots? The Bills? Yeah,

1027
00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:44,719
Speaker 1: the Bills Patriots game. Really a nice game of fun

1028
00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:47,839
Speaker 1: game on that Saturday. There were three really good games

1029
00:50:47,880 --> 00:50:50,280
Speaker 1: that day actually, but the four thirty game Bills Patriots.

1030
00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:52,120
Speaker 1: What do you think? What are your impressions that left

1031
00:50:52,160 --> 00:50:55,719
Speaker 1: that are left with you this week. I thought it

1032
00:50:55,760 --> 00:50:58,359
Speaker 1: was a really good game, and you know what really

1033
00:50:58,360 --> 00:51:00,879
Speaker 1: struck me. I was almost ruck a little more about

1034
00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:04,160
Speaker 1: what the Patriots chose to do on offense Steve and Maddy,

1035
00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:07,160
Speaker 1: because they lined up a land In Roberts their linebacker

1036
00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:09,799
Speaker 1: at fullback, on over twenty snaps in the game, and

1037
00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:11,839
Speaker 1: it almost brought me back to a year ago when

1038
00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:14,279
Speaker 1: the Patriots kind of made their run and they had

1039
00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:18,400
Speaker 1: a real fallback in Devlon playing well maybe fifty of

1040
00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:20,680
Speaker 1: their snaps, and in this game they sort of went

1041
00:51:20,719 --> 00:51:22,560
Speaker 1: back to the future. But they don't have a fullback

1042
00:51:22,560 --> 00:51:24,759
Speaker 1: on the roster now, so they've been using a land

1043
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:26,480
Speaker 1: In Roberts and this was the game in which he

1044
00:51:26,560 --> 00:51:30,520
Speaker 1: played fullback the absolute most, and they really used him

1045
00:51:30,520 --> 00:51:33,040
Speaker 1: on a couple of critical drives that ended in points,

1046
00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:37,319
Speaker 1: and that just really struck me watching the game from

1047
00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:41,319
Speaker 1: a Patriots perspective, I guess from a Bill's perspective, boy,

1048
00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:43,080
Speaker 1: I thought it was a really hard fought game came

1049
00:51:43,120 --> 00:51:46,640
Speaker 1: down to that final final drive. I really wish Josh

1050
00:51:46,680 --> 00:51:49,040
Speaker 1: would have hit Dawson Knox on that when he was

1051
00:51:49,080 --> 00:51:51,919
Speaker 1: open in the corner of the end zone, which would

1052
00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:54,120
Speaker 1: have tied the game. You know, in that situation, it's

1053
00:51:54,120 --> 00:51:57,040
Speaker 1: a throw you'd love to see him make. But I

1054
00:51:57,080 --> 00:52:00,400
Speaker 1: thought the Bills competed hard. And I mean they're a

1055
00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:03,080
Speaker 1: good football team. They're a solid football team pretty much

1056
00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:05,480
Speaker 1: from top to bottom. Yeah, and that's kind of the

1057
00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:09,520
Speaker 1: personality we've seen from them all year, right Greg. I mean, yeah,

1058
00:52:09,520 --> 00:52:13,080
Speaker 1: they're They're really good defensively, very solid team. They're very

1059
00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:17,120
Speaker 1: difficult to be They're not spectacular, but they're really difficult

1060
00:52:17,160 --> 00:52:22,640
Speaker 1: to be on any given Sunday, no question. And you know, ultimately,

1061
00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:25,200
Speaker 1: to me, it's their offense that's going to have to

1062
00:52:25,239 --> 00:52:27,200
Speaker 1: carry the torch. I mean, if things play out the

1063
00:52:27,239 --> 00:52:29,880
Speaker 1: way I guess many expect, they will likely go to

1064
00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:34,279
Speaker 1: Houston for the wildcard playoff weekend, and you know, I

1065
00:52:34,320 --> 00:52:39,920
Speaker 1: think their offense really has to show a show enough.

1066
00:52:40,120 --> 00:52:42,759
Speaker 1: I mean, it's tough to keep winning games, Steve, you

1067
00:52:42,920 --> 00:52:45,480
Speaker 1: know this. It's tough to win a lot of games,

1068
00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:49,080
Speaker 1: you know. Seventeen thirteen, I mean, they played a really

1069
00:52:49,120 --> 00:52:52,560
Speaker 1: good Patriots team and they were in it the entire way.

1070
00:52:52,719 --> 00:52:54,560
Speaker 1: I mean, they obviously led for a good part of

1071
00:52:54,600 --> 00:52:57,239
Speaker 1: it until the fourth quarter, but I think in the

1072
00:52:57,280 --> 00:53:00,360
Speaker 1: playoffs when all said and done, and there are options,

1073
00:53:00,400 --> 00:53:01,920
Speaker 1: but I think you're going to need to put up

1074
00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:05,600
Speaker 1: more than seventeen points. One more question about the Patriots

1075
00:53:05,640 --> 00:53:09,240
Speaker 1: before we move on with other NFL games this weekend.

1076
00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:12,760
Speaker 1: The Patriots offensive production. Bill Belichick said it was probably

1077
00:53:12,760 --> 00:53:16,040
Speaker 1: the best game they played on offense all season. Their

1078
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:19,120
Speaker 1: time of possession was crazy in that game, almost having

1079
00:53:19,120 --> 00:53:21,759
Speaker 1: the ball for thirty nine minutes. What does a game

1080
00:53:21,840 --> 00:53:25,000
Speaker 1: like this say about the Patriots offense moving forward in

1081
00:53:25,040 --> 00:53:27,520
Speaker 1: the playoffs? And hey, the Bills could see the Patriots

1082
00:53:27,560 --> 00:53:31,200
Speaker 1: again one more time, and Maddie, I think, quite honestly,

1083
00:53:31,200 --> 00:53:33,440
Speaker 1: it's the only way the Patriots can play to be

1084
00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:36,719
Speaker 1: effective because they're lacking at the wide receiver position. They

1085
00:53:36,760 --> 00:53:39,799
Speaker 1: don't have any real vertical dimensions. So what they have

1086
00:53:39,880 --> 00:53:42,120
Speaker 1: to do is they have to run the ball with efficiency,

1087
00:53:42,239 --> 00:53:45,080
Speaker 1: and then they have to create explosive plays. And I

1088
00:53:45,120 --> 00:53:47,440
Speaker 1: think a really good example of that would be the

1089
00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:50,200
Speaker 1: Birkehead thirty one yard reception on the first possession of

1090
00:53:50,239 --> 00:53:54,280
Speaker 1: the third quarter. You know, that's an orchestrated big play,

1091
00:53:54,880 --> 00:53:57,440
Speaker 1: and that's what they kind of have to do. I mean, obviously,

1092
00:53:57,560 --> 00:54:00,440
Speaker 1: Edelman is really good teams double team him, as the

1093
00:54:00,480 --> 00:54:03,400
Speaker 1: Bills did at times as well, and they try to

1094
00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:05,960
Speaker 1: take him away. Teams try to take away James White

1095
00:54:06,200 --> 00:54:08,360
Speaker 1: on third down, but they don't have a lot of

1096
00:54:08,400 --> 00:54:11,400
Speaker 1: other weapons. So it's the run game, which kind of

1097
00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:14,680
Speaker 1: got going in this game against the Bills enough to

1098
00:54:14,719 --> 00:54:17,000
Speaker 1: be a factor, and then it comes down to their

1099
00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:20,560
Speaker 1: ability to sort of orchestrate and manufacture those twenty plus

1100
00:54:20,640 --> 00:54:22,919
Speaker 1: yard pass plays. One of the things we've watched about

1101
00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:25,200
Speaker 1: this Bills team throughout the season is their offense has

1102
00:54:25,600 --> 00:54:28,400
Speaker 1: struggled to get on, you know, be consistently put points

1103
00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:31,000
Speaker 1: on the board. Yeah, and you look back across the

1104
00:54:31,040 --> 00:54:33,000
Speaker 1: history of the league. You look back, and I've been

1105
00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:35,640
Speaker 1: doing this a couple of times this show this week.

1106
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:38,279
Speaker 1: You look back at teams who have done that, and

1107
00:54:38,440 --> 00:54:40,520
Speaker 1: you don't go back to the Giants when they put

1108
00:54:40,560 --> 00:54:43,360
Speaker 1: their runs together with Eli Manning. They were an okay

1109
00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:46,480
Speaker 1: team during the season. But do you see enough in

1110
00:54:46,480 --> 00:54:50,719
Speaker 1: this offense, enough potential, enough whatever for them to like

1111
00:54:50,760 --> 00:54:52,920
Speaker 1: put together a run like catch lightning in a bottle

1112
00:54:52,920 --> 00:54:55,160
Speaker 1: a little bit, maybe take the fetters off or whatever,

1113
00:54:55,239 --> 00:54:57,920
Speaker 1: try some things and put together a nice run in

1114
00:54:57,920 --> 00:54:59,960
Speaker 1: this playoff thing. And maybe go deep into these playoffs,

1115
00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:02,640
Speaker 1: maybe get to a super Bowl run. Certainly, their defense

1116
00:55:02,719 --> 00:55:04,640
Speaker 1: is good enough, but that's what it's going to take,

1117
00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:08,120
Speaker 1: right Greg. That's what I think. And you know, if

1118
00:55:08,360 --> 00:55:13,080
Speaker 1: you look at their personnel, I mean theoretically they have pieces, right. Certainly,

1119
00:55:13,080 --> 00:55:16,680
Speaker 1: they've got a young quarterback who still fights inconsistency at times,

1120
00:55:17,360 --> 00:55:20,160
Speaker 1: and he's going to have to be really consistent if

1121
00:55:20,160 --> 00:55:22,360
Speaker 1: they're truly to make a playoff run. And when I

1122
00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:24,879
Speaker 1: say consistent, I mean he's going to have to make

1123
00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:27,800
Speaker 1: the throws that are there and then make some special

1124
00:55:27,840 --> 00:55:30,640
Speaker 1: throws as well, like the fifty three yarder to John

1125
00:55:30,680 --> 00:55:33,160
Speaker 1: Brown this week for the touchdown. You know, those kinds

1126
00:55:33,160 --> 00:55:36,880
Speaker 1: of throws have to be made. But the key to me, Steve,

1127
00:55:36,960 --> 00:55:40,879
Speaker 1: is the ability to make the routine throws. That's where

1128
00:55:40,960 --> 00:55:44,399
Speaker 1: Josh sometimes has a tough time. They have a back

1129
00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:47,920
Speaker 1: in Singletary who does have some explosiveness to him. You know,

1130
00:55:47,960 --> 00:55:50,080
Speaker 1: I think they have a receiver in Brown who can

1131
00:55:50,120 --> 00:55:53,359
Speaker 1: get over the top of a defense. I really liked

1132
00:55:53,400 --> 00:55:55,239
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox. I know he's a rookie. I don't know

1133
00:55:55,280 --> 00:55:58,320
Speaker 1: if he's ready to be a big part of an offense.

1134
00:55:58,560 --> 00:56:00,560
Speaker 1: In a playoff run as a rookie. But I think

1135
00:56:00,560 --> 00:56:03,320
Speaker 1: he's going to be a very good player, very athletic.

1136
00:56:03,640 --> 00:56:08,640
Speaker 1: But their offense ultimately needs Josh to be more consistent

1137
00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:11,839
Speaker 1: on what we would call routine type throws and if

1138
00:56:11,880 --> 00:56:14,680
Speaker 1: they can do that, then they have a chance the

1139
00:56:14,800 --> 00:56:18,600
Speaker 1: big plays ideally they come. You know, Josh has struggled

1140
00:56:18,600 --> 00:56:20,160
Speaker 1: a bit of times with those this year as well

1141
00:56:20,160 --> 00:56:23,120
Speaker 1: when they have been wide receivers open deep, and he's

1142
00:56:23,160 --> 00:56:24,640
Speaker 1: going to have to hit those. If you get that

1143
00:56:24,680 --> 00:56:28,520
Speaker 1: opportunity in a playoff game where your receiver, whether it's Brown, Foster,

1144
00:56:28,640 --> 00:56:31,640
Speaker 1: whoever it may be, is over the top of the defense,

1145
00:56:32,160 --> 00:56:35,560
Speaker 1: those are throws you have to hit something that a

1146
00:56:35,640 --> 00:56:39,200
Speaker 1: lot of us probably didn't think would happen Week seventeen.

1147
00:56:39,400 --> 00:56:43,560
Speaker 1: Marshawn Lynch is with the Seahawks. Who would have guessed that,

1148
00:56:44,200 --> 00:56:45,840
Speaker 1: what type of production do you think we're going to

1149
00:56:45,920 --> 00:56:50,080
Speaker 1: see out of him against the forty nine Ers. Well, Maddie,

1150
00:56:50,080 --> 00:56:52,839
Speaker 1: in my view, they didn't sign him to give him

1151
00:56:52,880 --> 00:56:56,560
Speaker 1: the ball three times. They're a run first offense. Everything

1152
00:56:56,600 --> 00:56:59,960
Speaker 1: they do starts with the run game, and I believe

1153
00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:03,080
Speaker 1: Eve because what's the best case scenario for the Seahawks

1154
00:57:03,160 --> 00:57:05,040
Speaker 1: is they'll play four games if they can make it

1155
00:57:05,080 --> 00:57:07,400
Speaker 1: all the way to the Super Bowl. Best cases they

1156
00:57:07,440 --> 00:57:10,240
Speaker 1: play four games, they'd win Sunday Night and three playoff games.

1157
00:57:10,600 --> 00:57:14,880
Speaker 1: If that's the case, I think I wouldn't be surprised

1158
00:57:14,920 --> 00:57:17,600
Speaker 1: if he gets eighty carries. I think they signed him

1159
00:57:17,640 --> 00:57:20,560
Speaker 1: to be the guy in their offense because Chris Carson

1160
00:57:20,680 --> 00:57:23,280
Speaker 1: was the guy in their offense. It starts with the

1161
00:57:23,360 --> 00:57:25,960
Speaker 1: run game. It starts with Chris Carson. We always talk

1162
00:57:25,960 --> 00:57:28,800
Speaker 1: about Russell Wilson because he's very good, obviously, but the

1163
00:57:28,880 --> 00:57:31,520
Speaker 1: way they're structured and built is the run game. I

1164
00:57:31,600 --> 00:57:33,880
Speaker 1: do not think they signed Marshawn Lynch to give him

1165
00:57:33,880 --> 00:57:35,919
Speaker 1: the ball five or six times. We're talking to Greg

1166
00:57:35,960 --> 00:57:39,480
Speaker 1: co Sel, executive producer an analyst of NFL Matchup on ESPM.

1167
00:57:39,480 --> 00:57:43,360
Speaker 1: He's an NFL Films producer. He's that show. The NFL

1168
00:57:43,400 --> 00:57:45,000
Speaker 1: Matchup is going to be on at eight am on

1169
00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:47,360
Speaker 1: Saturday and a couple of showings early on Sunday morning

1170
00:57:47,400 --> 00:57:51,120
Speaker 1: as well. Greg that game Seattle with Marshawn Lynch, Seattle

1171
00:57:51,120 --> 00:57:53,080
Speaker 1: at forty nine. That's the game of the weekend in

1172
00:57:53,080 --> 00:57:55,720
Speaker 1: the NFL. I mean that is that's a monster, and

1173
00:57:55,800 --> 00:58:00,800
Speaker 1: it's unbelievable that the Seahawks in that sitting at the

1174
00:58:00,840 --> 00:58:06,000
Speaker 1: one seed sign a guy off the street. But that

1175
00:58:06,120 --> 00:58:08,880
Speaker 1: just makes this this game's got a lot of layers

1176
00:58:08,960 --> 00:58:11,960
Speaker 1: of interest in this. I think it's really an interesting matchup.

1177
00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:13,960
Speaker 1: What are you seeing? What are your predictions on how

1178
00:58:13,960 --> 00:58:18,280
Speaker 1: this is gonna look? Well, One thing to keep in mind, obviously,

1179
00:58:18,280 --> 00:58:20,240
Speaker 1: the Seahawks beat them. I think it was Week ten,

1180
00:58:20,240 --> 00:58:24,320
Speaker 1: they beat them in Santa Clara and overtime. George Kittle

1181
00:58:24,440 --> 00:58:27,320
Speaker 1: did not play in that game. And George Kittle is

1182
00:58:27,360 --> 00:58:31,040
Speaker 1: a really good player and a very difficult matchup. And

1183
00:58:31,680 --> 00:58:34,080
Speaker 1: you know, I think Kyle Shanahan is really good, maybe

1184
00:58:34,080 --> 00:58:37,720
Speaker 1: the best in the league at scheming pass offense, and

1185
00:58:37,760 --> 00:58:40,560
Speaker 1: the Seahawks are not. There's not a lot of mystery

1186
00:58:40,560 --> 00:58:43,400
Speaker 1: to the Seahawks defense, let's put it that way. They're

1187
00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:48,400
Speaker 1: pretty predictable with their coverage concepts, and I'm fascinated to

1188
00:58:48,440 --> 00:58:52,000
Speaker 1: see with Kittle, now how Kyle goes about doing this,

1189
00:58:52,120 --> 00:58:55,480
Speaker 1: because they're gonna need to scheme up some some explosive

1190
00:58:55,480 --> 00:58:58,080
Speaker 1: pass plays. They did not do a really good job

1191
00:58:58,120 --> 00:59:01,800
Speaker 1: with that the first time they played. Jadavian Clowney also

1192
00:59:01,840 --> 00:59:04,120
Speaker 1: had a pretty good game against the forty nine ers

1193
00:59:04,120 --> 00:59:06,680
Speaker 1: in Week ten. Five tackles, a sack of force, fumble.

1194
00:59:06,720 --> 00:59:10,160
Speaker 1: Do you think he can be that productive again? I

1195
00:59:10,160 --> 00:59:12,120
Speaker 1: don't know, Maddie. That was the best game of his career.

1196
00:59:13,080 --> 00:59:15,880
Speaker 1: He's not a natural pass rusher. He was very good

1197
00:59:15,920 --> 00:59:18,120
Speaker 1: in that game. He's a speed to power pass rusher.

1198
00:59:18,680 --> 00:59:21,360
Speaker 1: He says he's going to play. He's missed a lot

1199
00:59:21,440 --> 00:59:24,720
Speaker 1: of games. We'll see, you know, they see. One of

1200
00:59:24,720 --> 00:59:27,560
Speaker 1: the key factors in that game, as you basically alluded to,

1201
00:59:27,880 --> 00:59:31,000
Speaker 1: is the fact that the Seahawks D line was somewhat dominant.

1202
00:59:31,240 --> 00:59:33,320
Speaker 1: And I think the forty nine ers old line has

1203
00:59:33,360 --> 00:59:35,880
Speaker 1: been struggling, but they struggled a bid versus the Rams

1204
00:59:36,080 --> 00:59:38,439
Speaker 1: in their last game, and that's been a little bit

1205
00:59:39,040 --> 00:59:41,760
Speaker 1: of an area of concern I think for the forty

1206
00:59:41,840 --> 00:59:44,680
Speaker 1: nine ers. Yeah, talk about the forty niners, Nick Bosa.

1207
00:59:44,760 --> 00:59:47,080
Speaker 1: Their front has been really stellar. They've got a lot

1208
00:59:47,120 --> 00:59:50,280
Speaker 1: of big time athletes up front on the forty nine ers.

1209
00:59:50,800 --> 00:59:53,760
Speaker 1: They've gotten a look at this Seahawks offense already. Now,

1210
00:59:53,760 --> 00:59:57,480
Speaker 1: certainly Marshawn and these other guys they've signed have changed

1211
00:59:57,520 --> 00:59:59,920
Speaker 1: that maybe a little bit. But the forty nine ers.

1212
01:00:00,040 --> 01:00:02,000
Speaker 1: Defense was really the story in the early going of

1213
01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:06,520
Speaker 1: this season. Has that changed. I don't think they're They've

1214
01:00:06,560 --> 01:00:09,160
Speaker 1: been quite as dominant, and the numbers bear that out.

1215
01:00:09,240 --> 01:00:11,160
Speaker 1: Early in the season, I think they started eight and oh,

1216
01:00:11,240 --> 01:00:14,400
Speaker 1: their defense was absolutely dominant. Two things were dominant early

1217
01:00:14,440 --> 01:00:17,360
Speaker 1: in the season, their defense and their D line and

1218
01:00:17,440 --> 01:00:19,959
Speaker 1: their run game, and those two things have not been

1219
01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:23,400
Speaker 1: as good over the last oh five six games, and

1220
01:00:23,480 --> 01:00:27,040
Speaker 1: those things need to come back because stylistically, on defense,

1221
01:00:27,280 --> 01:00:29,520
Speaker 1: they're built off their front four. They're not a big

1222
01:00:29,600 --> 01:00:32,480
Speaker 1: blitz team. They've been doing more things defensively, I think,

1223
01:00:32,520 --> 01:00:35,960
Speaker 1: to try to compensate for particularly on third down, to

1224
01:00:35,960 --> 01:00:38,800
Speaker 1: try to create pressure on the quarterback. But ultimately they'd

1225
01:00:38,800 --> 01:00:40,960
Speaker 1: like their D line to get back to where it was.

1226
01:00:41,240 --> 01:00:43,280
Speaker 1: And then the run game. The run game has not

1227
01:00:43,360 --> 01:00:47,120
Speaker 1: been anywhere near as consistent over the last five six weeks,

1228
01:00:47,120 --> 01:00:50,760
Speaker 1: and that's really where the Kyle Shanahan offense starts. All right,

1229
01:00:50,920 --> 01:00:53,320
Speaker 1: let's move around the league a little bit. We're talking

1230
01:00:53,360 --> 01:00:57,320
Speaker 1: to executive producer for ESPN NFL Matchup, Greg Cosel Greg

1231
01:00:58,520 --> 01:01:01,440
Speaker 1: down intended in trade. One of the stories that's been

1232
01:01:01,440 --> 01:01:04,240
Speaker 1: intriguing for me has been the emergence of Tennessee. They

1233
01:01:04,240 --> 01:01:07,200
Speaker 1: inserted Ryan Tannehill into the lineup and it looks like

1234
01:01:07,240 --> 01:01:11,040
Speaker 1: their whole team has been refurbished. Now. May not be

1235
01:01:11,160 --> 01:01:14,040
Speaker 1: enough to get him into the playoffs, but Ryan Tannehill's

1236
01:01:14,040 --> 01:01:17,480
Speaker 1: playing better now for the Tennessee Titans coming off the bench,

1237
01:01:17,920 --> 01:01:19,840
Speaker 1: in my opinion then he ever did as a starter

1238
01:01:19,920 --> 01:01:21,800
Speaker 1: for the Miami Dolphins in the first seven years of

1239
01:01:21,800 --> 01:01:25,040
Speaker 1: his career. Do you agree with that? Well, I think

1240
01:01:25,040 --> 01:01:28,760
Speaker 1: he's been pretty consistent because I think they were a

1241
01:01:28,880 --> 01:01:32,240
Speaker 1: very defined offense in terms of their profile, Steve. They

1242
01:01:32,360 --> 01:01:34,680
Speaker 1: play a lot with two tight ends, sometimes with three

1243
01:01:34,720 --> 01:01:37,600
Speaker 1: tight ends. They'll play with a fullback. It all starts

1244
01:01:37,600 --> 01:01:40,560
Speaker 1: with Derek Henry. They work off that and they give

1245
01:01:40,560 --> 01:01:44,360
Speaker 1: Tannehill a ton of play action opportunities based on predictable

1246
01:01:44,400 --> 01:01:47,440
Speaker 1: looks from the defense because they're setting up those predictable

1247
01:01:47,440 --> 01:01:50,640
Speaker 1: looks with their personnel and their formation. And Tannehill has

1248
01:01:50,640 --> 01:01:53,840
Speaker 1: been throwing the ball extremely well. They've not quite been

1249
01:01:53,880 --> 01:01:56,360
Speaker 1: as good the last two weeks, so we'll see if

1250
01:01:56,360 --> 01:02:00,120
Speaker 1: they can get it back. Obviously, they have to win,

1251
01:02:00,160 --> 01:02:02,200
Speaker 1: and there I think they're playing a late game. If

1252
01:02:02,200 --> 01:02:04,520
Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken, they have to win to get in

1253
01:02:04,600 --> 01:02:07,920
Speaker 1: when they're in, so they're at Houston. Euston will know

1254
01:02:08,560 --> 01:02:11,120
Speaker 1: by the time of this game what Kansas City has done,

1255
01:02:11,360 --> 01:02:13,720
Speaker 1: so it's very possible Houston could play No. One. If

1256
01:02:13,800 --> 01:02:16,920
Speaker 1: Kansas City loses, then Houston will play people because they

1257
01:02:16,920 --> 01:02:20,919
Speaker 1: could move up to the number three seed. But Tennessee's

1258
01:02:20,960 --> 01:02:24,720
Speaker 1: been pretty defined offensively in Tennehill has been the beneficiary

1259
01:02:24,760 --> 01:02:26,760
Speaker 1: of that, but there's no question he's been throwing the

1260
01:02:26,800 --> 01:02:29,280
Speaker 1: ball extremely well. Their old line is a little bit

1261
01:02:29,280 --> 01:02:32,600
Speaker 1: of a concern though in past protection speaking of their quarterback,

1262
01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:35,160
Speaker 1: who's been playing well as of Lake Carson Wentz, the

1263
01:02:35,200 --> 01:02:38,360
Speaker 1: Eagles taken on the Giants. The Eagles can make another

1264
01:02:38,400 --> 01:02:41,120
Speaker 1: playoff run. Do you believe they can do that with

1265
01:02:41,200 --> 01:02:45,800
Speaker 1: a win over the Giants this weekend. I think every

1266
01:02:45,800 --> 01:02:47,800
Speaker 1: game for the Eagles is tough because they are so

1267
01:02:48,000 --> 01:02:51,160
Speaker 1: lacking offensively at the skilled positions, So I think every

1268
01:02:51,200 --> 01:02:53,600
Speaker 1: game is a battle, and I think they kind of

1269
01:02:53,640 --> 01:02:56,600
Speaker 1: got lucky this past week against the Cowboys because Dak

1270
01:02:56,640 --> 01:02:59,720
Speaker 1: Prescott missed so many throws that needed to be made.

1271
01:03:00,440 --> 01:03:02,800
Speaker 1: I think Wentz has played well for most of the year.

1272
01:03:03,280 --> 01:03:06,760
Speaker 1: He's playing with very little so it's a very difficult

1273
01:03:07,160 --> 01:03:09,800
Speaker 1: goal for him. There's just not a lot of weapons

1274
01:03:09,840 --> 01:03:12,680
Speaker 1: at all the Eagles from a wide receiver standpoint or

1275
01:03:12,720 --> 01:03:15,960
Speaker 1: at the bottom of the league. They've got no speed

1276
01:03:16,000 --> 01:03:18,800
Speaker 1: on the perimeter. Zach Ertz is a very good player,

1277
01:03:18,840 --> 01:03:21,200
Speaker 1: but he's a certain kind of tight end. He's almost

1278
01:03:21,200 --> 01:03:23,440
Speaker 1: like an eight to twelve yard tight end. There's no

1279
01:03:23,560 --> 01:03:26,560
Speaker 1: vertical dimension to this offense at all. It's it's a

1280
01:03:26,680 --> 01:03:31,560
Speaker 1: very pedestrian type offense. Wentz played a great game last week,

1281
01:03:31,800 --> 01:03:34,320
Speaker 1: didn't turn the ball over. It was very efficient. That's

1282
01:03:34,360 --> 01:03:37,280
Speaker 1: the only way they can play because they do not

1283
01:03:37,440 --> 01:03:41,480
Speaker 1: have any verticality or any explosiveness at all to their offense. Well,

1284
01:03:41,520 --> 01:03:43,240
Speaker 1: they go to the New York Giants this week and

1285
01:03:43,280 --> 01:03:45,080
Speaker 1: they got They've got to win the game to have

1286
01:03:45,120 --> 01:03:49,479
Speaker 1: a shot. Oh yeah, and so is this a team?

1287
01:03:49,720 --> 01:03:51,960
Speaker 1: How do you see this NFC East playing out? And

1288
01:03:52,040 --> 01:03:55,000
Speaker 1: doesn't matter in the long run? Is any of the teams?

1289
01:03:55,720 --> 01:03:57,240
Speaker 1: And you know what I'm saying. I mean, they may

1290
01:03:57,280 --> 01:03:59,919
Speaker 1: be the four seed as a division winner, but they're

1291
01:04:00,080 --> 01:04:05,640
Speaker 1: really the twelfth seed, right Yeah. Well, either if they win,

1292
01:04:06,360 --> 01:04:09,360
Speaker 1: that means San Francisco or Seattle's coming to Philadelphia. And

1293
01:04:09,720 --> 01:04:13,200
Speaker 1: while Philly has clear holes and they're really not that

1294
01:04:13,280 --> 01:04:16,520
Speaker 1: good a team overall. The reality is that coming to

1295
01:04:16,600 --> 01:04:18,680
Speaker 1: Philly is a tough place to play. Steve. I'm sure

1296
01:04:18,720 --> 01:04:20,640
Speaker 1: you played in Philly and you know it's it's not

1297
01:04:20,680 --> 01:04:24,360
Speaker 1: a fun place to play for an opponent, So anything

1298
01:04:24,360 --> 01:04:26,840
Speaker 1: can happen once you get there. But the bottom line

1299
01:04:26,880 --> 01:04:29,040
Speaker 1: is the Eagles are not that talented really on either

1300
01:04:29,120 --> 01:04:32,120
Speaker 1: side of the ball. So if they make the playoffs,

1301
01:04:32,120 --> 01:04:35,240
Speaker 1: it's a real tribute to the team, the coaching staff,

1302
01:04:35,400 --> 01:04:37,840
Speaker 1: and I think Wentz has played particularly. I know someone

1303
01:04:37,960 --> 01:04:40,280
Speaker 1: and this would sound crazy, but someone who believes that

1304
01:04:40,360 --> 01:04:43,280
Speaker 1: Wentz should be in the discussion for MVP given what

1305
01:04:43,360 --> 01:04:46,920
Speaker 1: he's had to play with this year. Maybe that's far fetched,

1306
01:04:46,960 --> 01:04:50,080
Speaker 1: but he's actually played pretty well. The Saints are playing

1307
01:04:50,080 --> 01:04:54,080
Speaker 1: the Panthers this weekend. What makes Michael Thomas so special.

1308
01:04:54,120 --> 01:04:57,800
Speaker 1: He's somebody who can have one fifty one sixty catches

1309
01:04:58,000 --> 01:04:59,960
Speaker 1: at the end of this season with what he's been doing.

1310
01:05:01,800 --> 01:05:04,520
Speaker 1: He's got tremendous short area quickness as a route runner.

1311
01:05:04,800 --> 01:05:07,760
Speaker 1: He has a great feel for understanding leverage of defenders.

1312
01:05:08,240 --> 01:05:10,600
Speaker 1: He knows how to set up defenders when they're playing

1313
01:05:10,680 --> 01:05:15,280
Speaker 1: in off coverage. He's got phenomenal hands, and he's highly

1314
01:05:15,360 --> 01:05:18,280
Speaker 1: highly competitive, So even though he's not a four three

1315
01:05:18,400 --> 01:05:21,840
Speaker 1: kind of guy, he can get open. He's really good

1316
01:05:21,880 --> 01:05:24,280
Speaker 1: to defeating press coverage with the line of scrimmage, so

1317
01:05:24,360 --> 01:05:29,720
Speaker 1: his routes are rarely disrupted. So traits that define receivers,

1318
01:05:29,760 --> 01:05:32,800
Speaker 1: he possesses those at a high, high level. He's just

1319
01:05:32,880 --> 01:05:35,439
Speaker 1: not a four three guy, and everybody thinks in terms

1320
01:05:35,480 --> 01:05:38,280
Speaker 1: of speed, and don't forget he's got really good size too,

1321
01:05:38,560 --> 01:05:42,480
Speaker 1: so he's outstanding and a lot of receiver traits. Yeah,

1322
01:05:42,520 --> 01:05:44,720
Speaker 1: and I agree with you. And it doesn't hurt either

1323
01:05:44,800 --> 01:05:47,240
Speaker 1: that you've got Drew Brees thrown you the football who

1324
01:05:47,240 --> 01:05:49,919
Speaker 1: can make some throws. And also you got to tip

1325
01:05:49,920 --> 01:05:52,000
Speaker 1: your hat as well to Teddy Bridgewater who came in

1326
01:05:52,080 --> 01:05:54,120
Speaker 1: and played for a stretch of games this year and

1327
01:05:54,320 --> 01:05:59,240
Speaker 1: Thomas continue to be productive. I think he Thomas might

1328
01:05:59,280 --> 01:06:02,600
Speaker 1: have put together Well, it's gonna statistically be that the

1329
01:06:02,640 --> 01:06:05,480
Speaker 1: greatest season of wide receiver we've ever seen. And he

1330
01:06:05,560 --> 01:06:09,840
Speaker 1: did it with two different quarterbacks. That's pretty special. It's

1331
01:06:09,880 --> 01:06:12,200
Speaker 1: really special. But you hit on a great point. Obviously,

1332
01:06:12,240 --> 01:06:14,480
Speaker 1: Breeze has been playing now for quite a number of weeks.

1333
01:06:14,720 --> 01:06:17,400
Speaker 1: You know, when Breeze is really accurate, he puts the

1334
01:06:17,440 --> 01:06:21,600
Speaker 1: ball in the hands of receivers. And Sean Payton, of course,

1335
01:06:21,720 --> 01:06:26,480
Speaker 1: is really good at scheming his use. What the Saints

1336
01:06:26,480 --> 01:06:30,960
Speaker 1: are so good at is use of personnel formation, snap

1337
01:06:31,040 --> 01:06:35,040
Speaker 1: count shifts, motions and you know, Steve, all these things

1338
01:06:35,080 --> 01:06:38,520
Speaker 1: are designed to do one thing, gain an advantage before

1339
01:06:38,640 --> 01:06:42,520
Speaker 1: the ball is snapped. And Breeze is so good at

1340
01:06:42,600 --> 01:06:45,360
Speaker 1: seeing all these things. He knows where he's going before

1341
01:06:45,400 --> 01:06:48,560
Speaker 1: the ball's even snapped. Yeah, people forgetting Sean Payton's been

1342
01:06:48,600 --> 01:06:50,960
Speaker 1: around for a while, but Sean Payton was Sean McVay

1343
01:06:51,120 --> 01:06:56,000
Speaker 1: and Kyle shanahan before Sean m Kyle Shanahan. You know,

1344
01:06:56,080 --> 01:06:59,840
Speaker 1: he was like the young offensive genius and he still

1345
01:06:59,920 --> 01:07:02,480
Speaker 1: is is. I think that his longevity as an innovator

1346
01:07:02,800 --> 01:07:05,160
Speaker 1: really is underestimated. And then and that's the reason they've

1347
01:07:05,160 --> 01:07:07,880
Speaker 1: been so good for so long. And I've been half

1348
01:07:07,920 --> 01:07:11,360
Speaker 1: a step from the super Bowl for two years. No,

1349
01:07:11,480 --> 01:07:14,120
Speaker 1: I agree. You know, we kind of lose track of

1350
01:07:14,520 --> 01:07:18,160
Speaker 1: Sean Payton these days, but he does a really good job. Again,

1351
01:07:18,280 --> 01:07:20,840
Speaker 1: like I said, there's so many elements that go into

1352
01:07:21,120 --> 01:07:24,439
Speaker 1: putting together an offense, but They're so good at sort

1353
01:07:24,480 --> 01:07:28,680
Speaker 1: of having the defense declared before the snap of the ball,

1354
01:07:28,960 --> 01:07:31,400
Speaker 1: and then Breeze. You know, sometimes you can watch a

1355
01:07:31,440 --> 01:07:33,640
Speaker 1: game and Breeze never gets stuck in the pocket. Every

1356
01:07:33,680 --> 01:07:35,680
Speaker 1: throw seems to be on a rhythm. All right, I

1357
01:07:35,720 --> 01:07:38,320
Speaker 1: got one last question for you, Greg, and it's about

1358
01:07:38,360 --> 01:07:40,720
Speaker 1: maybe one of the strangest seasons a quarterback has ever

1359
01:07:40,760 --> 01:07:43,320
Speaker 1: put together. Jamis Winston is going to lead the leader,

1360
01:07:43,360 --> 01:07:45,320
Speaker 1: has a chance to lead the league in yards. He's

1361
01:07:45,320 --> 01:07:49,200
Speaker 1: gonna throw for five thousand yards. He's got thirty plus touchdowns,

1362
01:07:49,240 --> 01:07:52,720
Speaker 1: and he may have thirty interceptions for a team's gonna

1363
01:07:52,760 --> 01:07:56,600
Speaker 1: go maybe eight and eight. Maybe what is going on there? Now?

1364
01:07:56,600 --> 01:07:59,320
Speaker 1: They're gonna bring him back? I guess right. I mean,

1365
01:08:00,080 --> 01:08:02,800
Speaker 1: what do you make of maybe the strangest talk about

1366
01:08:02,800 --> 01:08:04,520
Speaker 1: a roller coaster of the season. Did you see the

1367
01:08:04,520 --> 01:08:07,600
Speaker 1: game He started the game on his first attempt with

1368
01:08:07,640 --> 01:08:13,080
Speaker 1: a pick set I thought, I mean, it's unbelievable. I

1369
01:08:13,120 --> 01:08:15,680
Speaker 1: gotta tell you, Steve, he's the strangest evaluation for me,

1370
01:08:15,720 --> 01:08:18,960
Speaker 1: and I've been evaluating quarterbacks for a long time. He's

1371
01:08:19,000 --> 01:08:21,479
Speaker 1: really a high level throwing talent. He makes a lot

1372
01:08:21,560 --> 01:08:24,640
Speaker 1: of great throws. He's aggressive turning at loose that's in

1373
01:08:24,640 --> 01:08:29,160
Speaker 1: his DNA interceptions. I've always believed you have to look

1374
01:08:29,200 --> 01:08:31,600
Speaker 1: at each of them individually. Obviously, you look on a

1375
01:08:31,640 --> 01:08:33,280
Speaker 1: sheet of paper or on a stat line and see

1376
01:08:33,320 --> 01:08:36,479
Speaker 1: twenty eight interceptions, and you know that's too many, But

1377
01:08:36,600 --> 01:08:38,760
Speaker 1: you still have to look at them. Some can be

1378
01:08:38,800 --> 01:08:42,200
Speaker 1: the result of imprecise ball placement. Some can be the

1379
01:08:42,240 --> 01:08:45,080
Speaker 1: result of not reading coverage. I mean, one interception he

1380
01:08:45,120 --> 01:08:47,200
Speaker 1: threw this past week, and I believe it was the

1381
01:08:47,240 --> 01:08:50,160
Speaker 1: one by Justin Reid. The second interception he threw was

1382
01:08:50,200 --> 01:08:53,759
Speaker 1: inexcusable for a fifty year quarterback, just not being aware

1383
01:08:54,080 --> 01:08:57,880
Speaker 1: of that player on defense. Then other interceptions come about

1384
01:08:57,920 --> 01:09:00,720
Speaker 1: because he's reckless and plays with a lack of discipline.

1385
01:09:00,960 --> 01:09:03,160
Speaker 1: So I don't know what the answer is, but I

1386
01:09:03,200 --> 01:09:05,280
Speaker 1: agree with you. He'll be back in Tampa, whether he's

1387
01:09:05,320 --> 01:09:08,640
Speaker 1: franchised or signed. Right, Greg, thanks for this is a

1388
01:09:08,640 --> 01:09:10,240
Speaker 1: great talking to you. I hope you have a great week,

1398
01:09:37,520 --> 01:09:41,719

1401
01:09:47,280 --> 01:09:53,000

1402
01:09:53,040 --> 01:09:55,360

Speaker 1: FM down where's that in Dallas? Or is that in

1416
01:10:46,400 --> 01:10:50,160
Speaker 1: I don't even know what that is. I don't even

1417
01:10:50,200 --> 01:10:51,760
Speaker 1: know what that is. Just go with it that he

1418
01:10:51,840 --> 01:10:55,200
Speaker 1: does as a busy guy. You were back at you

1419
01:10:55,240 --> 01:10:57,200
Speaker 1: were a Buffalo Bill back in the O two oh

1420
01:10:57,360 --> 01:11:00,160
Speaker 1: three years with the Drew Bledsoe years and stuff. You're

1421
01:11:00,200 --> 01:11:04,240
Speaker 1: playing with man Pat Williams and those guys and London

1422
01:11:04,240 --> 01:11:06,360
Speaker 1: Fletcher and and the crew. Played with a great crew,

1423
01:11:06,400 --> 01:11:09,720
Speaker 1: but the greatest crew was definitely the Bills Mafia. I got.

1424
01:11:10,000 --> 01:11:11,880
Speaker 1: If I'm going to get on here and actually talk

1425
01:11:11,960 --> 01:11:15,040
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills, you've got to talk about the Bills Mafia

1426
01:11:15,160 --> 01:11:17,679
Speaker 1: and my time of working for ESPN over the last

1427
01:11:17,680 --> 01:11:20,160
Speaker 1: several years and traveling around and seeing other fan bases

1428
01:11:20,240 --> 01:11:23,599
Speaker 1: and um, from a college standpoint, this is the closest

1429
01:11:23,640 --> 01:11:26,920
Speaker 1: fan base to college football in the National Football League,

1430
01:11:26,960 --> 01:11:28,639
Speaker 1: and so you got to shout out the Bills Mafia.

1431
01:11:28,760 --> 01:11:31,280
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to seeing the catch up guy um

1432
01:11:31,439 --> 01:11:33,479
Speaker 1: on Sunday. I think the one that catches the catch

1433
01:11:33,560 --> 01:11:36,400
Speaker 1: up or whatever. I've just seen it all. He's a

1434
01:11:36,479 --> 01:11:39,240
Speaker 1: legend to me so much like Stevens over here and

1435
01:11:39,320 --> 01:11:49,920
Speaker 1: Maddie and so. But we're laughing because yeah, no, I mean, well,

1436
01:11:49,920 --> 01:11:51,479
Speaker 1: the reality of it is, right, you don't want to

1437
01:11:51,479 --> 01:11:53,840
Speaker 1: brag on yourself, but as a former Buffalo bill and

1438
01:11:54,000 --> 01:11:56,479
Speaker 1: being a young man coming in here, you guys, era

1439
01:11:56,800 --> 01:12:00,080
Speaker 1: was one that everyone shoots for. And this team, I

1440
01:12:00,120 --> 01:12:02,559
Speaker 1: guarantee you this year on the brink of doing some

1441
01:12:02,600 --> 01:12:04,160
Speaker 1: things that haven't been done in a long time since

1442
01:12:04,280 --> 01:12:07,479
Speaker 1: you guys were here. Right, you think about legends like yourself,

1443
01:12:07,479 --> 01:12:09,719
Speaker 1: so I know you can't say it. I appreciate your humility,

1444
01:12:09,720 --> 01:12:11,479
Speaker 1: but the truth is you are, you are a legend

1445
01:12:11,479 --> 01:12:13,240
Speaker 1: around here. Well, this is a this is a crew

1446
01:12:13,320 --> 01:12:15,000
Speaker 1: that's gone to the playoffs two out the last three

1447
01:12:15,080 --> 01:12:17,439
Speaker 1: years and it's and regular trips to the playoffs are

1448
01:12:17,439 --> 01:12:20,439
Speaker 1: the way you you know, get noticed. Indeed, and they're here,

1449
01:12:20,439 --> 01:12:22,880
Speaker 1: they are. And it's interesting too because on the offensive

1450
01:12:22,920 --> 01:12:26,320
Speaker 1: side of the ball this year, whole new cast. Oh yeah,

1451
01:12:26,320 --> 01:12:30,400
Speaker 1: there's one guy on the team that was on that

1452
01:12:30,479 --> 01:12:33,160
Speaker 1: offense two years ago. The win the playoffs. Everybody's been

1453
01:12:33,200 --> 01:12:36,720
Speaker 1: washed through and they're getting it done mostly with the

1454
01:12:36,760 --> 01:12:38,639
Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball. But they've got some talent,

1455
01:12:38,680 --> 01:12:40,360
Speaker 1: they've got some pieces. What do you what are your

1456
01:12:40,400 --> 01:12:42,920
Speaker 1: what's your take? Certainly it's the offense that you kind

1457
01:12:42,920 --> 01:12:44,800
Speaker 1: of worry about with this team. And if they can

1458
01:12:44,840 --> 01:12:47,080
Speaker 1: get hot oll, then the lid comes off. You know,

1459
01:12:47,160 --> 01:12:49,320
Speaker 1: there's a myriad of weapons on this team, and I

1460
01:12:49,400 --> 01:12:51,840
Speaker 1: think the way Singletary is playing, the way Alan has played,

1461
01:12:52,120 --> 01:12:54,679
Speaker 1: though I'd like to see him exercise his clutch ability

1462
01:12:54,720 --> 01:12:56,360
Speaker 1: a little bit more. And what I mean by that

1463
01:12:56,520 --> 01:13:02,160
Speaker 1: is in critical situations, fourth games, you've got to perform well.

1464
01:13:02,640 --> 01:13:06,839
Speaker 1: But they've got the pieces you go to tight end position.

1465
01:13:06,880 --> 01:13:08,479
Speaker 1: I think that's covered now. I think we've got a

1466
01:13:08,479 --> 01:13:11,439
Speaker 1: guy here that can establish himself in years to come,

1467
01:13:11,760 --> 01:13:13,760
Speaker 1: not only in the AFC, but but I think in

1468
01:13:13,800 --> 01:13:16,280
Speaker 1: the National Football League. I love his swagger, I love

1469
01:13:16,360 --> 01:13:18,120
Speaker 1: what he brings to the table. And so you have

1470
01:13:18,160 --> 01:13:20,360
Speaker 1: all these weapons. The one thing that I think is

1471
01:13:20,360 --> 01:13:22,880
Speaker 1: not being used enough is Josh Allen's running ability. I Mean,

1472
01:13:22,920 --> 01:13:25,360
Speaker 1: we're talking about a dude who's big, he's powerful, he's strong,

1473
01:13:26,120 --> 01:13:29,200
Speaker 1: and the way that the game is progressing. When you

1474
01:13:29,320 --> 01:13:33,479
Speaker 1: have a player that can threaten defenses with their feet

1475
01:13:34,280 --> 01:13:36,439
Speaker 1: in that type of situation, I think you do it.

1476
01:13:36,600 --> 01:13:38,840
Speaker 1: I'd also like to see two back sets with both

1477
01:13:38,920 --> 01:13:41,919
Speaker 1: Gore and Singletary in the game. As a former defender,

1478
01:13:41,960 --> 01:13:44,760
Speaker 1: I think the problems that it presents defensively in terms

1479
01:13:44,760 --> 01:13:47,799
Speaker 1: of how you're thinking, what weapon do you stop first?

1480
01:13:48,320 --> 01:13:50,920
Speaker 1: These are the types of conversations that during the week

1481
01:13:51,320 --> 01:13:55,599
Speaker 1: kill defensive coordinators and defensive personnel. And if I were

1482
01:13:55,640 --> 01:13:57,679
Speaker 1: to give any advice to this offense that I think

1483
01:13:57,680 --> 01:13:59,960
Speaker 1: it has a potential to be very explosive. My first

1484
01:14:00,080 --> 01:14:02,680
Speaker 1: would be get Josh Allen running the football more. I

1485
01:14:02,680 --> 01:14:05,960
Speaker 1: think that that helps um stretch the defense, stress the

1486
01:14:06,000 --> 01:14:09,559
Speaker 1: defense in ways that you can't calculate, and so um.

1487
01:14:09,680 --> 01:14:11,879
Speaker 1: But I think this is a young offense that's continue

1488
01:14:11,880 --> 01:14:14,400
Speaker 1: to grow, an offensive line that I think is finding

1489
01:14:14,439 --> 01:14:16,720
Speaker 1: chemistry at the right time. Hopefully you know, they can

1490
01:14:16,720 --> 01:14:19,320
Speaker 1: stay healthy along the front. But but this is a

1491
01:14:19,320 --> 01:14:22,240
Speaker 1: team that I think is a force to be reckoned with.

1492
01:14:22,320 --> 01:14:24,880
Speaker 1: I really do. And defensively, you know that may be

1493
01:14:24,960 --> 01:14:27,120
Speaker 1: their best offensive weapon of time. We saw that against

1494
01:14:27,160 --> 01:14:30,680
Speaker 1: the Ravens. Against the Patriots. You know they've they've got

1495
01:14:30,760 --> 01:14:32,280
Speaker 1: some dudes on that side of the ball as well.

1496
01:14:32,640 --> 01:14:35,760
Speaker 1: Speaking about run game in Josh Allen's feet. You work

1497
01:14:35,840 --> 01:14:38,720
Speaker 1: with the Longhorn Network, so you see college football and

1498
01:14:38,760 --> 01:14:41,720
Speaker 1: how college football is evolving and how that how that

1499
01:14:41,880 --> 01:14:44,360
Speaker 1: is blending into the NFL. Do you think the days

1500
01:14:44,439 --> 01:14:46,960
Speaker 1: of the one dimensional pocket passer are over? When it

1501
01:14:46,960 --> 01:14:48,960
Speaker 1: comes to a quarterback, you better be darned good at it,

1502
01:14:49,120 --> 01:14:51,360
Speaker 1: you know. And and I think, but even even there,

1503
01:14:51,360 --> 01:14:53,160
Speaker 1: I mean, we know Josh Allen has a big arm.

1504
01:14:53,160 --> 01:14:55,800
Speaker 1: He can make all the NFL throws. That's a given. Um.

1505
01:14:55,800 --> 01:14:58,439
Speaker 1: I had his first game last year there in Laramie,

1506
01:14:59,080 --> 01:15:01,439
Speaker 1: m And got a chance to talk to Coach Bowls

1507
01:15:01,479 --> 01:15:03,560
Speaker 1: about what he really is. Who this kid is, and

1508
01:15:03,880 --> 01:15:07,200
Speaker 1: he's he's got the talent. However, when you look to

1509
01:15:07,240 --> 01:15:09,160
Speaker 1: the college game, I think the way when you have

1510
01:15:09,280 --> 01:15:11,559
Speaker 1: defenses now that are trying to dictate what offenses are

1511
01:15:11,600 --> 01:15:14,080
Speaker 1: doing by their formation, whether that's a three man front.

1512
01:15:14,760 --> 01:15:17,439
Speaker 1: Now you've got these these tween players that used to

1513
01:15:17,479 --> 01:15:19,519
Speaker 1: be guys that had no home. Now you've got a

1514
01:15:19,560 --> 01:15:21,960
Speaker 1: home all over the field. Not only do you now

1515
01:15:21,960 --> 01:15:25,200
Speaker 1: have to identify the middle backer and the strength of

1516
01:15:25,240 --> 01:15:27,000
Speaker 1: the defense. Now you got to find out where these

1517
01:15:27,040 --> 01:15:30,360
Speaker 1: crazy other players are coming from. And when you have that,

1518
01:15:31,479 --> 01:15:34,040
Speaker 1: it's good to have a quarterback that can extend plays

1519
01:15:34,520 --> 01:15:37,720
Speaker 1: and when plays break down, can utilize his feet. And

1520
01:15:37,760 --> 01:15:39,920
Speaker 1: so I do think that the game has moved that

1521
01:15:39,960 --> 01:15:42,280
Speaker 1: way for a reason. Number One, the defenders are getting

1522
01:15:42,360 --> 01:15:44,680
Speaker 1: bigger and faster and stronger, which I don't even know

1523
01:15:44,720 --> 01:15:47,599
Speaker 1: how that's possible, but it is happening right before our eyes.

1524
01:15:47,640 --> 01:15:49,519
Speaker 1: And so to have a mobile quarterback and one that

1525
01:15:49,560 --> 01:15:52,640
Speaker 1: can utilize his feet, I think. I think all the

1526
01:15:52,640 --> 01:15:54,439
Speaker 1: football is moving that way, and I really don't see

1527
01:15:54,439 --> 01:15:56,799
Speaker 1: it turning back. At this point. We're talking about Mod Brooks,

1528
01:15:56,800 --> 01:15:59,160
Speaker 1: former NFL player here with the Buffalo Bills back in

1529
01:15:59,200 --> 01:16:03,200
Speaker 1: the two three years and also an ESPN you broadcaster,

1530
01:16:03,520 --> 01:16:04,920
Speaker 1: and I was going to ask you about this running

1531
01:16:05,000 --> 01:16:07,320
Speaker 1: quarterback stuff, and you're right. If you got a quarterback

1532
01:16:07,360 --> 01:16:09,200
Speaker 1: that runs, you kind of use it. If he's a

1533
01:16:09,240 --> 01:16:12,599
Speaker 1: straight dropback, pass or use that. But the more things

1534
01:16:12,680 --> 01:16:14,599
Speaker 1: guys can do, it's gotten to the point when the NFL,

1535
01:16:14,640 --> 01:16:17,160
Speaker 1: where it's so sophisticated, you've got to be so multiple.

1536
01:16:17,680 --> 01:16:19,640
Speaker 1: If you've got a weapon, you need to deploy it.

1537
01:16:20,080 --> 01:16:22,280
Speaker 1: Because it's gonna help you win some games. And we've

1538
01:16:22,320 --> 01:16:24,640
Speaker 1: seen Bills in a number of occasions, particularly the way

1539
01:16:24,680 --> 01:16:29,720
Speaker 1: their defense plays these one possession games. They get into constantly,

1540
01:16:30,520 --> 01:16:33,080
Speaker 1: and you're talking about two plays over the course of

1541
01:16:33,080 --> 01:16:34,880
Speaker 1: sixty minutes to make the difference. And if it is

1542
01:16:35,040 --> 01:16:36,760
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, it's that one called run

1543
01:16:36,800 --> 01:16:38,760
Speaker 1: played by your quarterback that gets you first down, or

1544
01:16:38,800 --> 01:16:40,840
Speaker 1: if it's the play action pass, or if it's the

1545
01:16:40,840 --> 01:16:43,800
Speaker 1: big throw, or if it's the pure pocket passer who

1546
01:16:43,960 --> 01:16:46,800
Speaker 1: threads the needle, something in your arsenal's got to give

1547
01:16:46,840 --> 01:16:49,320
Speaker 1: you those couple of plays. Because the margins have grown

1548
01:16:49,400 --> 01:16:51,400
Speaker 1: thinner and thinner and thinner. We see that all the

1549
01:16:51,439 --> 01:16:53,680
Speaker 1: time with this Buffalo team. Great point, and from a

1550
01:16:53,720 --> 01:16:56,320
Speaker 1: schematic standpoint, right when the quarterback runs a football, you

1551
01:16:56,360 --> 01:16:58,519
Speaker 1: now can add an extra blocker with the running back,

1552
01:16:59,160 --> 01:17:01,280
Speaker 1: which I think is even more important when you have

1553
01:17:01,320 --> 01:17:04,799
Speaker 1: guys that are committed, that are grimy, that are gritty

1554
01:17:04,880 --> 01:17:06,920
Speaker 1: and have no problem you know, digging their face and

1555
01:17:07,080 --> 01:17:10,800
Speaker 1: face masking a linebacker's chest. So I think that is

1556
01:17:10,800 --> 01:17:13,639
Speaker 1: the other element from a schematic standpoint that really stands out.

1557
01:17:13,680 --> 01:17:16,280
Speaker 1: But it is a requirement and Buffalo is lucky to

1558
01:17:16,280 --> 01:17:18,080
Speaker 1: have a guy like Josh Allen, and so I think

1559
01:17:18,080 --> 01:17:19,680
Speaker 1: he need to be He really does need to be

1560
01:17:19,760 --> 01:17:22,040
Speaker 1: utilized more in the run game. And then I think

1561
01:17:22,080 --> 01:17:24,000
Speaker 1: that opens it up for Singletary as well and Gordon

1562
01:17:24,040 --> 01:17:26,479
Speaker 1: do their job because now you have these defensive ends,

1563
01:17:26,479 --> 01:17:28,559
Speaker 1: you're holding them with the threat of a quarterback running.

1564
01:17:28,880 --> 01:17:32,280
Speaker 1: So now widens what you see from a standpoint of

1565
01:17:32,320 --> 01:17:35,720
Speaker 1: gap control and makes it harder defensively to be able

1566
01:17:35,760 --> 01:17:38,559
Speaker 1: to control how you stop the run game. And we

1567
01:17:38,600 --> 01:17:41,160
Speaker 1: all know football football games are won in the trenches

1568
01:17:41,520 --> 01:17:43,439
Speaker 1: on how you run the football, and Buffalo could be

1569
01:17:43,439 --> 01:17:46,040
Speaker 1: a dynamic team. Um, if Josh Allen is using his

1570
01:17:46,120 --> 01:17:49,479
Speaker 1: feed stopping the run game, that's something that Greg Williams,

1571
01:17:49,479 --> 01:17:52,960
Speaker 1: who's the current Jets DC, is pretty good at in

1572
01:17:53,000 --> 01:17:55,519
Speaker 1: New York with the Jets. You know Greg Williams, he

1573
01:17:55,600 --> 01:17:57,599
Speaker 1: was in Buffalo while you were here in two thousand

1574
01:17:57,640 --> 01:18:00,360
Speaker 1: and two. How does he form a defense this This

1575
01:18:00,439 --> 01:18:04,160
Speaker 1: Jets defense is second ranked against the run. They allow

1576
01:18:04,720 --> 01:18:06,880
Speaker 1: less than one hundred rushing yards a game. It's in

1577
01:18:06,920 --> 01:18:10,639
Speaker 1: the high eighties. How can an offense attack a defense

1578
01:18:10,720 --> 01:18:12,760
Speaker 1: the way that he builds his number one, You're gonna

1579
01:18:12,800 --> 01:18:14,680
Speaker 1: have to win one on one matchups because he's going

1580
01:18:14,720 --> 01:18:17,240
Speaker 1: to stuff the box. I mean, you know, Jamal Adams

1581
01:18:17,240 --> 01:18:20,679
Speaker 1: who's questionable for the game on Sunday, leads his team,

1582
01:18:21,040 --> 01:18:23,080
Speaker 1: I believe in sacks or second on team in sacks,

1583
01:18:23,400 --> 01:18:26,280
Speaker 1: leads a team and quarterback hits and hurries. So what

1584
01:18:26,320 --> 01:18:28,120
Speaker 1: you're going to see from the strong safe position, they're

1585
01:18:28,120 --> 01:18:29,479
Speaker 1: going to move him in and out of that box,

1586
01:18:29,520 --> 01:18:31,479
Speaker 1: and they're going to force the offensive line and have

1587
01:18:31,479 --> 01:18:34,400
Speaker 1: to communicate find out where the pressure is coming from.

1588
01:18:34,800 --> 01:18:38,360
Speaker 1: And Greg does a great job of balancing out what

1589
01:18:38,439 --> 01:18:41,479
Speaker 1: an offense has to see in terms of rush and

1590
01:18:41,520 --> 01:18:44,160
Speaker 1: then that turns into protection and so those two parts

1591
01:18:44,160 --> 01:18:46,759
Speaker 1: of the game you're now able to confuse an offensive

1592
01:18:46,760 --> 01:18:50,120
Speaker 1: line with and offensive line is based on chemistry. You

1593
01:18:50,160 --> 01:18:52,200
Speaker 1: just do you need more than guys can just block

1594
01:18:52,280 --> 01:18:55,760
Speaker 1: because with the way these schemes are operating now, they're

1595
01:18:55,760 --> 01:18:58,679
Speaker 1: trying to dictate how you block and what protection does.

1596
01:18:58,760 --> 01:19:02,240
Speaker 1: So Greg Williams is a master at that. He's very aggressive.

1597
01:19:02,560 --> 01:19:04,240
Speaker 1: But on the flip side of that, what does that do?

1598
01:19:04,360 --> 01:19:07,640
Speaker 1: That opens up opportunities down the stretch for you to

1599
01:19:07,640 --> 01:19:09,720
Speaker 1: win one on one matchups on the outside edge. Where

1600
01:19:09,720 --> 01:19:11,360
Speaker 1: you get your tight end all across the middle of

1601
01:19:11,360 --> 01:19:13,559
Speaker 1: the field when they're blitzing and bringing a house blitz,

1602
01:19:13,880 --> 01:19:17,040
Speaker 1: it gives you other options. This is where we'll see

1603
01:19:17,040 --> 01:19:19,760
Speaker 1: how fast Josh Allen's mind actually works. We know his

1604
01:19:19,840 --> 01:19:22,240
Speaker 1: body can run fast, but can he think through the

1605
01:19:22,280 --> 01:19:24,439
Speaker 1: game quickly enough with all the looks that Greg's going

1606
01:19:24,479 --> 01:19:27,320
Speaker 1: to give him where the blitzers are coming from. Can

1607
01:19:27,400 --> 01:19:29,519
Speaker 1: he identify it in his pre snap and post snap

1608
01:19:29,520 --> 01:19:32,200
Speaker 1: breeds and be able to do enough to get Buffalo

1609
01:19:32,200 --> 01:19:34,160
Speaker 1: in the right position and the right plays, because that's

1610
01:19:34,240 --> 01:19:35,519
Speaker 1: that's where the game is going to be won and

1611
01:19:35,600 --> 01:19:37,759
Speaker 1: loss early on in the ball game, Say Almond Brooks,

1612
01:19:37,760 --> 01:19:40,840
Speaker 1: you're an NFL ESPNU broadcaster, you also played in the league.

1613
01:19:40,880 --> 01:19:42,760
Speaker 1: You played cornerback in the league, and you're looking at

1614
01:19:42,800 --> 01:19:45,160
Speaker 1: a defense and there's a handful of defenses at the

1615
01:19:45,200 --> 01:19:47,040
Speaker 1: top of the league rankings that have been there all year.

1616
01:19:47,080 --> 01:19:50,479
Speaker 1: Or the Patriots, the Bills, the Ravens, the Niners have

1617
01:19:50,560 --> 01:19:52,040
Speaker 1: were there for a while. Now they're kind of sliding

1618
01:19:52,040 --> 01:19:53,760
Speaker 1: off off. The Steelers got back into it. Most of

1619
01:19:53,800 --> 01:19:57,760
Speaker 1: those teams all have a dynamic and shut down corner. Yes,

1620
01:19:57,880 --> 01:20:00,800
Speaker 1: Deef William Tradevis White, Dres White, Scott ch I read

1621
01:20:00,800 --> 01:20:02,680
Speaker 1: this stat today, Tredevious White has a chance to be

1622
01:20:02,720 --> 01:20:06,679
Speaker 1: the only player with five hundred plus snaps of football

1623
01:20:06,760 --> 01:20:11,240
Speaker 1: as a cornerback and lead the league in interceptions and

1624
01:20:11,360 --> 01:20:13,479
Speaker 1: not give up a touchdown. I mean, he's put together

1625
01:20:13,520 --> 01:20:17,840
Speaker 1: a pretty elite year. Your thoughts about how he's playing

1626
01:20:17,840 --> 01:20:19,839
Speaker 1: and what that and what that means to a total defense.

1627
01:20:19,920 --> 01:20:21,920
Speaker 1: His competitive edge a second to none, you know, and

1628
01:20:21,960 --> 01:20:24,600
Speaker 1: when you're out there on the island, your swag, your confidence,

1629
01:20:25,479 --> 01:20:27,880
Speaker 1: your moxie is on full display. You know. I always

1630
01:20:27,880 --> 01:20:30,439
Speaker 1: say when I'm broadcasting a game on ESPN Yspin two,

1631
01:20:30,479 --> 01:20:32,519
Speaker 1: it's it's always like you make a mistake in the

1632
01:20:32,520 --> 01:20:34,960
Speaker 1: back end at the cornerback position, the fight song is playing.

1633
01:20:35,200 --> 01:20:37,479
Speaker 1: It's so different in the NFL. I mean, if you

1634
01:20:37,520 --> 01:20:41,080
Speaker 1: can prevent guys from scoring and also and you're the

1635
01:20:41,080 --> 01:20:43,760
Speaker 1: type of Ballhawky is, I don't think this is going

1636
01:20:43,800 --> 01:20:45,640
Speaker 1: to be one season for this kid. Now, what I

1637
01:20:45,680 --> 01:20:47,280
Speaker 1: do think it's going to be incredibly hard for him

1638
01:20:47,280 --> 01:20:49,240
Speaker 1: to get that many interceptions next year, just because teams

1639
01:20:49,280 --> 01:20:52,000
Speaker 1: are going to throw his way. He's balanced, he's aware

1640
01:20:52,560 --> 01:20:55,800
Speaker 1: and great cover guys. Normally they have that competitive edge

1641
01:20:55,800 --> 01:20:57,280
Speaker 1: when you look back over time at some of the

1642
01:20:57,320 --> 01:20:59,320
Speaker 1: great corners. But the second part of that is the

1643
01:20:59,400 --> 01:21:03,080
Speaker 1: awareness right when to take that risk. You still have

1644
01:21:03,120 --> 01:21:05,400
Speaker 1: to play within the defense, but when you take those

1645
01:21:05,400 --> 01:21:10,879
Speaker 1: calculated risks that turn into takeaways, now you're an elite, lockdown,

1646
01:21:10,920 --> 01:21:13,720
Speaker 1: shut down corner and he's shown that. I like what

1647
01:21:13,760 --> 01:21:16,519
Speaker 1: I'm seeing from this young guy. I love his swag

1648
01:21:16,520 --> 01:21:19,839
Speaker 1: and his moxie. He's physical at the line of scrimmage.

1649
01:21:19,840 --> 01:21:22,000
Speaker 1: He gets his hands on wide receivers and prevents their

1650
01:21:22,120 --> 01:21:25,639
Speaker 1: timing and the rhythm of a route to even from

1651
01:21:25,640 --> 01:21:28,200
Speaker 1: even getting started. I think this kid is legit, and

1652
01:21:28,240 --> 01:21:30,400
Speaker 1: I think this won't be his first. This is first

1653
01:21:30,439 --> 01:21:31,960
Speaker 1: year in the Pro Bowl, but it won't be his last.

1654
01:21:32,640 --> 01:21:37,160
Speaker 1: Someone who is who played in Texas at Oliver the

1655
01:21:37,240 --> 01:21:40,360
Speaker 1: first round pick for the Bills. Did you see anything

1656
01:21:41,160 --> 01:21:43,280
Speaker 1: from him when he was in college? Is that a

1657
01:21:43,360 --> 01:21:46,160
Speaker 1: name that you knew? Well? I know you're you're working

1658
01:21:46,200 --> 01:21:49,200
Speaker 1: for the Longhorn Network and ESPNU, And what have you

1659
01:21:49,320 --> 01:21:52,320
Speaker 1: seen from him in his rookie season. He's had a

1660
01:21:52,360 --> 01:21:55,439
Speaker 1: pretty good year, came on strong in the second half

1661
01:21:55,439 --> 01:21:57,720
Speaker 1: of the season, for sure. I'll tell you what so

1662
01:21:57,720 --> 01:22:00,000
Speaker 1: I've had an opportunity to call several of Ed's games

1663
01:22:00,000 --> 01:22:01,960
Speaker 1: and then Major Opwhite, his former head coach, was my

1664
01:22:02,040 --> 01:22:04,960
Speaker 1: quarterback at the University of Texas. So, um, I think

1665
01:22:05,000 --> 01:22:07,400
Speaker 1: I had I'm pretty sure I had Houston several times

1666
01:22:07,400 --> 01:22:10,960
Speaker 1: on on ESPN. And what I loved about Ed is,

1667
01:22:11,080 --> 01:22:13,120
Speaker 1: you know, if you know his background, he's a country boy,

1668
01:22:13,200 --> 01:22:16,240
Speaker 1: you know, and and being from the country myself, and

1669
01:22:16,240 --> 01:22:18,960
Speaker 1: and uh, loving horses and all of that kind of thing.

1670
01:22:19,520 --> 01:22:22,280
Speaker 1: He's very simple and when he plays though, there's a

1671
01:22:22,400 --> 01:22:25,080
Speaker 1: there's not a lot of sophistication to his game, but

1672
01:22:25,200 --> 01:22:28,439
Speaker 1: he gives supreme effort. And for a guy with his

1673
01:22:28,520 --> 01:22:31,680
Speaker 1: type of athletic ability his skill set to give that

1674
01:22:31,720 --> 01:22:33,519
Speaker 1: type of effort, you know, he's going to be a

1675
01:22:33,520 --> 01:22:36,439
Speaker 1: great player. Um. The next part of that is the smarts,

1676
01:22:36,520 --> 01:22:38,760
Speaker 1: right the intelligence? Can you can you do you get

1677
01:22:38,760 --> 01:22:41,519
Speaker 1: a good enough pre snappered? How do you dossect the play?

1678
01:22:41,760 --> 01:22:44,439
Speaker 1: And how often are you a force and the opposing

1679
01:22:44,479 --> 01:22:48,160
Speaker 1: team's backfield. With all those things, this guy is well

1680
01:22:48,200 --> 01:22:50,680
Speaker 1: on his way to being one of the greats, you know,

1681
01:22:50,720 --> 01:22:52,799
Speaker 1: And I mean that and he and he's still a puppy,

1682
01:22:52,840 --> 01:22:55,880
Speaker 1: he's still learning how to play the game at this level.

1683
01:22:56,200 --> 01:22:58,599
Speaker 1: Ed Oliver is a is a great football player. And

1684
01:22:58,600 --> 01:23:00,839
Speaker 1: from what I know from him, he's a hard worker.

1685
01:23:01,400 --> 01:23:04,680
Speaker 1: Um and uh likes to talk, you know. And and

1686
01:23:04,720 --> 01:23:06,479
Speaker 1: that's okay because you don't get a normally, you don't

1687
01:23:06,520 --> 01:23:08,639
Speaker 1: get that type of swag, Maddy from from your big guys.

1688
01:23:08,840 --> 01:23:10,640
Speaker 1: I played with Pat Williams who also had that kind

1689
01:23:10,640 --> 01:23:12,599
Speaker 1: of the same kind of swag. But um, I think

1690
01:23:12,720 --> 01:23:14,719
Speaker 1: Ed Oliver is Uh. I think he's one of those

1691
01:23:14,760 --> 01:23:17,760
Speaker 1: young defensive lineman that the NFL that he's put on

1692
01:23:17,800 --> 01:23:19,439
Speaker 1: watching and I think he's gonna be a good player

1693
01:23:19,600 --> 01:23:21,519
Speaker 1: years to come. Um. I gotta ask you one thing

1694
01:23:21,520 --> 01:23:24,040
Speaker 1: we asked you about. You know, I mentioned the top

1695
01:23:24,120 --> 01:23:26,880
Speaker 1: defenses in the NFL have these cornerbacks and stuff, and

1696
01:23:27,000 --> 01:23:29,040
Speaker 1: this at this point in history of the NFL and

1697
01:23:29,160 --> 01:23:31,160
Speaker 1: there with things change in ebb and flow. Do you

1698
01:23:31,200 --> 01:23:33,720
Speaker 1: think teams are building their defenses from the front to

1699
01:23:33,760 --> 01:23:36,360
Speaker 1: the back or from the back to the front. Oh,

1700
01:23:36,400 --> 01:23:38,559
Speaker 1: this is a great question, and I think it. I

1701
01:23:38,560 --> 01:23:40,640
Speaker 1: think it depends. It depends a lot on who you

1702
01:23:40,680 --> 01:23:44,000
Speaker 1: see in the division now. But I think you've got

1703
01:23:44,000 --> 01:23:45,640
Speaker 1: to be stronger now in the back end than you

1704
01:23:45,680 --> 01:23:48,439
Speaker 1: do upfront. Because a lot of it is, you know,

1705
01:23:48,479 --> 01:23:50,080
Speaker 1: you're just trying to get teams the third down where

1706
01:23:50,120 --> 01:23:52,840
Speaker 1: you can pinue's it right. You just want to get

1707
01:23:52,880 --> 01:23:55,240
Speaker 1: an opportunity on these third and long situations to attack

1708
01:23:55,280 --> 01:23:58,000
Speaker 1: the quarterback. And then once you do that, you better

1709
01:23:58,000 --> 01:24:00,360
Speaker 1: have some defensive backs on the back end that are

1710
01:24:00,560 --> 01:24:03,880
Speaker 1: aware enough to play zone but also have the cover

1711
01:24:04,040 --> 01:24:06,240
Speaker 1: skills to give you the flexibility to play man to

1712
01:24:06,320 --> 01:24:08,599
Speaker 1: man when you need to lock somebody up. And when

1713
01:24:08,600 --> 01:24:11,559
Speaker 1: you put another professional on one professional, he shouldn't have

1714
01:24:11,560 --> 01:24:14,160
Speaker 1: a field day, right. So you may give up a

1715
01:24:14,200 --> 01:24:16,400
Speaker 1: few plays, but you shouldn't give up a lot of touchdowns,

1716
01:24:16,400 --> 01:24:19,000
Speaker 1: and you shouldn't give up a lot of costly plays.

1717
01:24:19,040 --> 01:24:21,439
Speaker 1: And so I think building from the back end, whether

1718
01:24:21,439 --> 01:24:24,960
Speaker 1: your safeties now are covering down on tight ends that

1719
01:24:25,000 --> 01:24:29,479
Speaker 1: are versatile or smaller slot wide receivers, your secondary is

1720
01:24:29,520 --> 01:24:31,760
Speaker 1: where you need to be strong. And I think this

1721
01:24:31,840 --> 01:24:33,720
Speaker 1: year for the Bills, one of the best things that's

1722
01:24:33,720 --> 01:24:36,240
Speaker 1: happened to them is this secondary has been solid, so good,

1723
01:24:36,320 --> 01:24:39,400
Speaker 1: and that has been the most surprising thing of this stretch,

1724
01:24:39,479 --> 01:24:41,559
Speaker 1: of this outstanding stretch of play from the defensive side

1725
01:24:41,560 --> 01:24:44,280
Speaker 1: of the ball. Go ahead in two thousand and twos.

1726
01:24:44,320 --> 01:24:47,040
Speaker 1: Think back to when the Bills brought in Drew Blood.

1727
01:24:47,080 --> 01:24:50,720
Speaker 1: So just the vibe of Buffalo, and do you think

1728
01:24:50,760 --> 01:24:53,599
Speaker 1: that's similar to the vibe of Buffalo right now under

1729
01:24:53,680 --> 01:24:56,200
Speaker 1: Josh Allen and the season that these guys have put

1730
01:24:56,240 --> 01:24:58,720
Speaker 1: together have the chance to get eleven wins in the

1731
01:24:58,800 --> 01:25:02,360
Speaker 1: regular season. Here, I see some similarities. I mean Drew obviously,

1732
01:25:02,600 --> 01:25:04,640
Speaker 1: my first start came here was when Tom Brady came

1733
01:25:04,680 --> 01:25:07,559
Speaker 1: into town and Drew Bletso that first meeting there back

1734
01:25:07,600 --> 01:25:12,320
Speaker 1: here and Ralph at the time, and there was some excitement.

1735
01:25:12,360 --> 01:25:13,920
Speaker 1: So I was around for that and got a chance

1736
01:25:13,960 --> 01:25:15,040
Speaker 1: to see him and be a part of that. And

1737
01:25:15,040 --> 01:25:16,840
Speaker 1: how special it was the Bills coming off their first

1738
01:25:16,840 --> 01:25:20,120
Speaker 1: Super Bowl of this run they've been on. And I

1739
01:25:20,160 --> 01:25:22,919
Speaker 1: think the similarities are the excitement, you see, the potential.

1740
01:25:23,280 --> 01:25:26,080
Speaker 1: The difference is is that I think Josh Allen can run.

1741
01:25:26,200 --> 01:25:27,960
Speaker 1: And if you know anything about Drew bletso I mean

1742
01:25:27,960 --> 01:25:29,840
Speaker 1: he was a statue in the back. I mean that's

1743
01:25:29,840 --> 01:25:31,160
Speaker 1: just what that was his game. He you know, he

1744
01:25:31,200 --> 01:25:32,720
Speaker 1: wasn't trying to beat you with his feet at all,

1745
01:25:32,840 --> 01:25:35,080
Speaker 1: nor did he pose a threat to the defenses. But

1746
01:25:35,240 --> 01:25:37,400
Speaker 1: Josh is different. In that way where he can run

1747
01:25:37,439 --> 01:25:39,600
Speaker 1: the ball, he can extend plays. He can beat you.

1748
01:25:39,640 --> 01:25:41,640
Speaker 1: If you drop eight back and you give him a

1749
01:25:41,640 --> 01:25:43,479
Speaker 1: little crease to the corner, he can pick up ten

1750
01:25:43,520 --> 01:25:45,320
Speaker 1: and run out of bounds. And so that's where the

1751
01:25:45,320 --> 01:25:47,639
Speaker 1: game has changed. And I think the Bills mafia should

1752
01:25:47,640 --> 01:25:49,519
Speaker 1: be excited because the Bills are playing. They're playing at

1753
01:25:49,560 --> 01:25:51,799
Speaker 1: a high level right now. They really are. Ama Brooks

1754

Speaker 1: coming down to the top of the hour. We're gonna

1760
01:26:11,160 --> 01:26:12,479
Speaker 1: talk to him and get the low down. I thought

1761
01:26:12,479 --> 01:26:14,519
Speaker 1: this game. This is One Bill's Live, presented by Kalidah

1762
01:26:14,560 --> 01:26:17,040
Speaker 1: Health from One Bill's Drive, and this is Buffalo Bill's Radio.

1763
01:26:28,880 --> 01:26:31,240
Speaker 1: Welcome back to One Bill's Lives. Steve Tasker and Mattie Glad.

1764
01:26:31,320 --> 01:26:34,840
Speaker 1: Murph's gonna took the Christmas holiday off and he's gonna

1765
01:26:34,920 --> 01:26:37,400
Speaker 1: hang loose until he has to come in and do

1766
01:26:37,439 --> 01:26:40,040
Speaker 1: the game on Sunday, take it easy, getting ready to

1767
01:26:40,040 --> 01:26:41,920
Speaker 1: getting his spotty boards. I spoke to him this morning.

1768
01:26:41,920 --> 01:26:44,120
Speaker 1: He's kind of getting wound up from getting ready for

1769
01:26:44,160 --> 01:26:47,360
Speaker 1: the game, but good. He deserves a couple of days off. Yeah,

1770
01:26:47,360 --> 01:26:50,360
Speaker 1: he does. He grinds it like nobody else. So it's

1771
01:26:50,360 --> 01:26:53,000
Speaker 1: good to see him. We'll be glad to see him

1772
01:26:53,040 --> 01:26:55,519
Speaker 1: on the call on Sunday with Eric Wood and Sal

1773
01:26:55,600 --> 01:27:02,519
Speaker 1: Capaccio down the sidelines. UM this game coming up. We

1774
01:27:02,600 --> 01:27:05,080
Speaker 1: had this tweet sheet out and it's aside from staying healthy,

1775
01:27:05,120 --> 01:27:08,400
Speaker 1: what's the most important aspect of Someday's game versus the Jets?

1776
01:27:08,760 --> 01:27:12,960
Speaker 1: And it's it's a pretty good question because if you're

1777
01:27:13,000 --> 01:27:19,320
Speaker 1: thinking about, you know, other than winning, which doesn't really

1778
01:27:19,360 --> 01:27:22,640
Speaker 1: matter and you've kind of earned that, but what's the

1779
01:27:22,680 --> 01:27:25,519
Speaker 1: most important thing aside from the team standing healthy? What's

1780
01:27:25,520 --> 01:27:26,920
Speaker 1: the most important thing is it to get a win

1781
01:27:26,960 --> 01:27:28,640
Speaker 1: headed into the playoffs? Is to get a look at

1782
01:27:28,680 --> 01:27:30,719
Speaker 1: guys we wanted to see all year, guys like Matt

1783
01:27:30,720 --> 01:27:33,680
Speaker 1: Barkley or Duke Williams. Is last chance for us to

1784
01:27:33,680 --> 01:27:36,439
Speaker 1: see our team at home this season in a playoff year?

1785
01:27:36,960 --> 01:27:38,680
Speaker 1: Kind of a big deal? And or is it d

1786
01:27:39,320 --> 01:27:41,000
Speaker 1: to use our game plan of the game. To get

1787
01:27:41,000 --> 01:27:43,120
Speaker 1: into Kansas City in Houston's head with a game plan

1788
01:27:43,200 --> 01:27:45,000
Speaker 1: to see, give them some things they got to think about,

1789
01:27:45,160 --> 01:27:47,360
Speaker 1: give us a better chance to win on wildcard weekend.

1790
01:27:47,680 --> 01:27:50,240
Speaker 1: All this stuff's on the table. Thirty five percent of

1791
01:27:50,280 --> 01:27:52,360
Speaker 1: you say, Hey, it's getting to win is the big thing.

1792
01:27:52,920 --> 01:27:54,720
Speaker 1: Twenty nine percent say, now, let's get a look at

1793
01:27:54,720 --> 01:27:56,840
Speaker 1: the guys we wanted to see. Twenty three percent say,

1794
01:27:56,880 --> 01:27:58,800
Speaker 1: let's get into Kansas City or Houston's head with a

1795
01:27:58,880 --> 01:28:01,280
Speaker 1: game plan and see he said. Nah, I don't need

1796
01:28:01,280 --> 01:28:02,720
Speaker 1: to see to get team at home. I'll see him.

1797
01:28:04,479 --> 01:28:07,519
Speaker 1: But that's It's a good Twitter poll. Your thoughts haven't

1798
01:28:07,560 --> 01:28:11,240
Speaker 1: changed on this getting throughout the day. I want I

1799
01:28:11,280 --> 01:28:13,160
Speaker 1: want to get a win, hanging into the playoffs. I

1800
01:28:13,240 --> 01:28:16,960
Speaker 1: like going into the playoffs with a win, not going

1801
01:28:17,000 --> 01:28:19,840
Speaker 1: into the playoffs with back to back losses. But I

1802
01:28:19,880 --> 01:28:22,280
Speaker 1: can back to back glasses all year. Yeah, I don't.

1803
01:28:22,280 --> 01:28:24,000
Speaker 1: I don't want to happen. I'm not ready for that.

1804
01:28:25,080 --> 01:28:27,400
Speaker 1: But I also like d and I know that's that's

1805
01:28:27,520 --> 01:28:30,639
Speaker 1: your that's your choice is to get into Kansas City

1806
01:28:30,720 --> 01:28:33,280
Speaker 1: or Houston's head with the game plan. I think that's

1807
01:28:33,280 --> 01:28:36,160
Speaker 1: a little bit beneficial to throw them off. Of course

1808
01:28:36,160 --> 01:28:39,479
Speaker 1: they're already game planning for us, but to throw some

1809
01:28:39,600 --> 01:28:42,040
Speaker 1: things that they may have to game plan for would

1810
01:28:42,080 --> 01:28:44,960
Speaker 1: be the way I would do that. The way I

1811
01:28:45,000 --> 01:28:49,400
Speaker 1: would do that is with off the top of my head,

1812
01:28:49,400 --> 01:28:53,720
Speaker 1: and I'm I've never coached, but if you were, If

1813
01:28:53,760 --> 01:28:57,519
Speaker 1: I were a coach, and you know, in an alternate

1814
01:28:57,600 --> 01:29:00,679
Speaker 1: universe and we got into playoffs, I think I would

1815
01:29:00,680 --> 01:29:04,000
Speaker 1: do it with personnel com personnel groupings. Yeah, I'd say

1816
01:29:04,200 --> 01:29:06,519
Speaker 1: who they got on the field, now, what are they running?

1817
01:29:07,479 --> 01:29:10,000
Speaker 1: Mod Brooks are just our last guests. Guests said, you know,

1818
01:29:10,080 --> 01:29:12,320
Speaker 1: you go with two back set with Josh in there

1819
01:29:12,680 --> 01:29:15,120
Speaker 1: have some called quarterback runs. Do some things like that

1820
01:29:15,160 --> 01:29:18,200
Speaker 1: to show Houston, Kansas see some extra stuff that you've

1821
01:29:18,240 --> 01:29:20,640
Speaker 1: got in your arsenal they maybe didn't think about or

1822
01:29:20,680 --> 01:29:23,240
Speaker 1: hadn't seen on film. I think it's interesting. And you

1823
01:29:23,280 --> 01:29:27,400
Speaker 1: could go out there with a heavy set or four wide,

1824
01:29:27,439 --> 01:29:29,639
Speaker 1: five wide kind of set, split out let and then

1825
01:29:29,680 --> 01:29:31,439
Speaker 1: call Josh to run, you know that kind of thing.

1826
01:29:31,600 --> 01:29:33,640
Speaker 1: The mod Brooks was really big on getting Josh to

1827
01:29:33,720 --> 01:29:36,040
Speaker 1: run more with the football, and I see it. I

1828
01:29:36,080 --> 01:29:40,240
Speaker 1: think that, you know, it's always the question you're gonna

1829
01:29:40,240 --> 01:29:44,000
Speaker 1: get hurt. Yeah, protect him. You got to learn how

1830
01:29:44,040 --> 01:29:46,559
Speaker 1: to do it. True, it's not in the nineteen seventies.

1831
01:29:46,920 --> 01:29:49,439
Speaker 1: And Sean McDermott said he will play in this game,

1832
01:29:49,520 --> 01:29:53,080
Speaker 1: so we'll see how much he does play, and when

1833
01:29:53,120 --> 01:29:56,360
Speaker 1: he plays, how much he does run. He's actually there's

1834
01:29:56,360 --> 01:29:59,439
Speaker 1: a pretty cool stat about Josh this season. He is

1835
01:29:59,479 --> 01:30:02,040
Speaker 1: the only order back to have at least one rushing

1836
01:30:02,080 --> 01:30:04,920
Speaker 1: first down in all fifteen games this season, So we

1837
01:30:04,960 --> 01:30:07,760
Speaker 1: can see if he'll make it sixteen. Eight others who

1838
01:30:07,800 --> 01:30:11,280
Speaker 1: have done that in all fifteen games so far running backs,

1839
01:30:11,320 --> 01:30:13,599
Speaker 1: and only two quarterbacks have run for at least one

1840
01:30:13,720 --> 01:30:17,080
Speaker 1: first down in all sixteen games. That's Cam Newton and

1841
01:30:17,200 --> 01:30:20,280
Speaker 1: Steve McNair have only done that. Wow. So to be

1842
01:30:20,360 --> 01:30:22,759
Speaker 1: able to have a threat like Josh on your team,

1843
01:30:23,200 --> 01:30:26,479
Speaker 1: which Ahmad was talking about with his capabilities to run

1844
01:30:26,520 --> 01:30:29,519
Speaker 1: the football, to be able to have that to break

1845
01:30:30,880 --> 01:30:33,520
Speaker 1: break one open for a first down for a touchdown,

1846
01:30:33,600 --> 01:30:37,960
Speaker 1: design quarterback runs, his scramble ability, and how we're seeing

1847
01:30:38,000 --> 01:30:40,200
Speaker 1: a lot more of that when it comes to younger

1848
01:30:40,280 --> 01:30:43,880
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in this league. That's something that's definitely beneficial for

1849
01:30:43,920 --> 01:30:45,920
Speaker 1: an offense. Here's a little sun to chew on two.

1850
01:30:45,960 --> 01:30:47,640
Speaker 1: We've talked about you know, this whole season's kind of

1851
01:30:47,640 --> 01:30:50,120
Speaker 1: been about Josh and he's getting better and making better decisions.

1852
01:30:50,160 --> 01:30:52,240
Speaker 1: We talked about it all on the offseason, and we

1853
01:30:52,320 --> 01:30:55,840
Speaker 1: needed to see him improved over the last two seasons.

1854
01:30:56,439 --> 01:30:59,640
Speaker 1: The highest passer rating increase over the start as a

1855
01:30:59,680 --> 01:31:03,280
Speaker 1: star in the entire NFL is Josh Allen. He's raised

1856
01:31:03,360 --> 01:31:09,280
Speaker 1: his passer rating as a starter from sixty eight point

1857
01:31:09,360 --> 01:31:12,400
Speaker 1: five last year to eighty five point six this year,

1858
01:31:12,479 --> 01:31:16,920
Speaker 1: seventeen point one points different. The next closest guy is

1859
01:31:16,920 --> 01:31:20,080
Speaker 1: Minnesota Kirk Cousins, who's raised his by seven point seven.

1860
01:31:20,439 --> 01:31:22,800
Speaker 1: So he's like ten ten points more, and he had

1861
01:31:22,840 --> 01:31:24,519
Speaker 1: a long way to go, no question he had some

1862
01:31:24,560 --> 01:31:29,680
Speaker 1: work to do. But Josh Allen has really in his

1863
01:31:30,000 --> 01:31:32,080
Speaker 1: first year a starter. Last year he was five and six,

1864
01:31:32,160 --> 01:31:36,000
Speaker 1: remember ten tits, twelve interceptions, sixty eight point five passer rating.

1865
01:31:36,080 --> 01:31:38,120
Speaker 1: This year as a starter with a game to play,

1866
01:31:38,120 --> 01:31:42,559
Speaker 1: he's ten and five, twenty touchdowns, nine interceptions, and eighty

1867
01:31:42,560 --> 01:31:45,920
Speaker 1: five point six passer rating. That's twenty passing touchdowns. He's

1868
01:31:45,920 --> 01:31:49,120
Speaker 1: actually responsible for what twenty seven or twenty eight He's

1869
01:31:49,160 --> 01:31:55,840
Speaker 1: got all those twenty nine touchdowns. Yeah, he's this is

1870
01:31:55,880 --> 01:31:58,200
Speaker 1: the guy we signed up for, right, Yeah, I mean

1871
01:31:58,200 --> 01:32:00,320
Speaker 1: he's got he's got some warts to his game. I

1872
01:32:00,360 --> 01:32:03,040
Speaker 1: get it. But man, oh man, I'm I'm liking what

1873
01:32:03,160 --> 01:32:07,880
Speaker 1: I see from his improvement. And that's why two, you

1874
01:32:07,960 --> 01:32:10,920
Speaker 1: kind of have help for this playoff run. We've seen

1875
01:32:11,000 --> 01:32:13,519
Speaker 1: flashes of him turn it up and I and when

1876
01:32:13,520 --> 01:32:15,439
Speaker 1: you get in the playoff. We haven't seen Josh in

1877
01:32:15,479 --> 01:32:20,360
Speaker 1: the playoffs. And he is a tea's competitive. This is

1878
01:32:20,360 --> 01:32:22,720
Speaker 1: a guy that's going to pretty much do anything to

1879
01:32:22,760 --> 01:32:26,240
Speaker 1: put his team in a position to win. Yeah. I agree,

1880
01:32:26,880 --> 01:32:28,759
Speaker 1: And we've seen the way he is in the fourth quarter.

1881
01:32:28,800 --> 01:32:31,599
Speaker 1: We've seen the way he's able to make drives come

1882
01:32:31,640 --> 01:32:34,400
Speaker 1: to life when it matters most. They were very close

1883
01:32:34,439 --> 01:32:37,719
Speaker 1: to doing it against the Patriots. They've been in pretty

1884
01:32:37,800 --> 01:32:41,600
Speaker 1: much every game they've lost within a touchdown besides that

1885
01:32:41,720 --> 01:32:44,880
Speaker 1: Eagles game. I mean, he's not going to let his

1886
01:32:44,960 --> 01:32:48,200
Speaker 1: team down. Well, here's the thing. He's a fourth quarter guy.

1887
01:32:48,200 --> 01:32:50,439
Speaker 1: We've seen that clutch and he's got like more. He's

1888
01:32:50,439 --> 01:32:53,200
Speaker 1: got five fourth quarter comebacks in his career. He's like

1889
01:32:53,400 --> 01:32:55,360
Speaker 1: for the season, he's tied with the lead league. I mean,

1890
01:32:55,400 --> 01:32:57,080
Speaker 1: he's kind of got that clutch team. We've seen it

1891
01:32:57,240 --> 01:32:59,200
Speaker 1: in the big lights of the Sunday night football game,

1892
01:32:59,240 --> 01:33:01,240
Speaker 1: the Thanksgiving Day game, he kind of plays his best.

1893
01:33:01,720 --> 01:33:03,519
Speaker 1: Let me tell you, that's what a playoff game is.

1894
01:33:03,800 --> 01:33:06,160
Speaker 1: You're it's the fourth quarter all the time. It's the

1895
01:33:06,160 --> 01:33:08,439
Speaker 1: fourth quarter on Wednesday. You know what I mean. It's

1896
01:33:08,520 --> 01:33:11,960
Speaker 1: the intensity is ratcheted way up. I think the key

1897
01:33:12,000 --> 01:33:15,400
Speaker 1: thing for Josh going in knowing that about him would

1898
01:33:15,400 --> 01:33:18,960
Speaker 1: be that he stays disciplined. It doesn't just go flying

1899
01:33:18,960 --> 01:33:20,400
Speaker 1: off the hand trying to win the game. Again on

1900
01:33:20,479 --> 01:33:25,000
Speaker 1: every player, relax, take a deep breath and trust your

1901
01:33:25,000 --> 01:33:27,320
Speaker 1: thing and and you know, just be on on par

1902
01:33:27,439 --> 01:33:30,280
Speaker 1: with your fourth quarter comebacks, you know, and make those plays.

1903
01:33:30,520 --> 01:33:31,800
Speaker 1: If we can get him do that, this is a

1904
01:33:31,840 --> 01:33:34,479
Speaker 1: team that could make a really deep run. I don't know,

1905
01:33:34,520 --> 01:33:37,040
Speaker 1: we'll see. Hey, Lorenzo Alexander's coming up at the top

Speaker 1: and were just hoping that missus Tacchi has a healthy,

1963
01:36:57,400 --> 01:37:00,519
Speaker 1: happy little baby, and uh, yeah, I guess they know

1964
01:37:00,520 --> 01:37:02,040
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a little boy. I guess right, they're

1965
01:37:02,040 --> 01:37:04,639
Speaker 1: already found that out. But yeah, I hope everything goes

1966
01:37:04,640 --> 01:37:06,559
Speaker 1: well with a pregnancy and all that. But that's kind

1967
01:37:06,560 --> 01:37:11,479
Speaker 1: of cool. Congratulation, that's nice. That's you're right. I got

1968
01:37:11,520 --> 01:37:16,280
Speaker 1: four sons, none of them. What do you think man,

1969
01:37:16,320 --> 01:37:18,760
Speaker 1: the Jets coming too the town. You don't need the game, right,

1970
01:37:18,880 --> 01:37:20,960
Speaker 1: probably gonna get some guys a little bit of rest.

1971
01:37:21,040 --> 01:37:23,960
Speaker 1: But that's that's a tough balancing act because the movie,

1972
01:37:24,040 --> 01:37:25,680
Speaker 1: you take your foot off the gas, you have a

1973
01:37:25,760 --> 01:37:28,000
Speaker 1: chance to show up really flat. And the good thing

1974
01:37:28,040 --> 01:37:30,280
Speaker 1: about I guess our team is that we have a

1975
01:37:30,280 --> 01:37:32,519
Speaker 1: lot of professionals, a lot of guys that have been

1976
01:37:32,520 --> 01:37:35,120
Speaker 1: around the block a little bit and understand that you

1977
01:37:35,200 --> 01:37:37,240
Speaker 1: just can't take your foot all the way off the gas.

1978
01:37:37,240 --> 01:37:38,840
Speaker 1: Obviously you want to you know, this kind of coast

1979
01:37:38,840 --> 01:37:40,800
Speaker 1: a little bit in the sense of getting fresh this week.

1980
01:37:41,360 --> 01:37:43,960
Speaker 1: But you know, from Micah Hide to your Davids White

1981
01:37:44,240 --> 01:37:47,280
Speaker 1: to Jordan Poyer, those guys really went out there still

1982
01:37:47,280 --> 01:37:50,519
Speaker 1: practice on the fundamentals and individual um still had their

1983
01:37:50,600 --> 01:37:52,960
Speaker 1: keys and went through meetings with the focus as if

1984
01:37:52,960 --> 01:37:56,280
Speaker 1: they're going to play, because those guys are gonna have

1985
01:37:56,280 --> 01:37:58,920
Speaker 1: limited raps and you know, some limited exposures well amongst

1986
01:37:59,000 --> 01:38:01,200
Speaker 1: other starters. But if a goes down, you have to

1987
01:38:01,240 --> 01:38:03,400
Speaker 1: go back in the game. You have to turn it

1988
01:38:03,439 --> 01:38:05,760
Speaker 1: back on and be ready. So obviously your role to

1989
01:38:05,840 --> 01:38:07,720
Speaker 1: be flipped. So they still prepare us if they're going

1990
01:38:07,800 --> 01:38:10,760
Speaker 1: to play you know the entire game what you have

1991
01:38:10,800 --> 01:38:13,400
Speaker 1: to do every single time. Here's the big question. Has

1992
01:38:13,439 --> 01:38:16,880
Speaker 1: it affected the reps at practice? Yeah, most definitely, because

1993
01:38:16,920 --> 01:38:19,040
Speaker 1: the guys that are gonna play, I think the majority

1994
01:38:19,080 --> 01:38:21,080
Speaker 1: of the game, you want them to show well and

1995
01:38:21,120 --> 01:38:25,080
Speaker 1: so you have to give them the opportunity to see

1996
01:38:25,080 --> 01:38:27,360
Speaker 1: the looks, see how the Jets going to attack us,

1997
01:38:27,360 --> 01:38:29,360
Speaker 1: so when they're out there, it's just not like just

1998
01:38:29,439 --> 01:38:31,639
Speaker 1: throwing them in the game, and you know, hand to yours,

1999
01:38:31,640 --> 01:38:33,000
Speaker 1: you want guys to show well and be able to

2000
01:38:33,040 --> 01:38:36,240
Speaker 1: showcase their talents and get the right experience and go

2001
01:38:36,280 --> 01:38:37,800
Speaker 1: out there because ultimately you want to be able to

2002
01:38:37,840 --> 01:38:39,639
Speaker 1: win the game too. And if you don't give those

2003
01:38:39,640 --> 01:38:43,040
Speaker 1: guys the reps, you definitely set yourself behind in that regard.

2004
01:38:43,400 --> 01:38:45,880
Speaker 1: Regardless of if you know this game matters or not.

2005
01:38:45,960 --> 01:38:48,840
Speaker 1: You guys have already clinched the playoff spot, but you're

2006
01:38:48,880 --> 01:38:52,120
Speaker 1: still cleaning stuff up from the Patriots game. Played them

2007
01:38:52,120 --> 01:38:54,960
Speaker 1: pretty close. Unfortunately it was a loss. But going back

2008
01:38:54,960 --> 01:38:57,120
Speaker 1: and looking at film, what are some things that you

2009
01:38:57,160 --> 01:38:59,600
Speaker 1: saw from the defense that you guys think needs to

2010
01:38:59,600 --> 01:39:03,040
Speaker 1: be clean in this game ahead of the playoffs. Biggest

2011
01:39:03,040 --> 01:39:05,599
Speaker 1: thing physically at the line of scrimmage in our tackling. Um,

2012
01:39:05,600 --> 01:39:08,680
Speaker 1: I think we had over fifty yards of yak that

2013
01:39:08,720 --> 01:39:10,759
Speaker 1: we're given up. So it's not like we weren't fitting

2014
01:39:10,760 --> 01:39:12,760
Speaker 1: the run, right, We just weren't physical at the point

2015
01:39:12,760 --> 01:39:14,880
Speaker 1: of attack. And when you have a back like Sony

2016
01:39:14,920 --> 01:39:18,840
Speaker 1: Michelle or you know, Rex, if you tackle and if

2017
01:39:18,880 --> 01:39:21,599
Speaker 1: you don't bring your your your feet and your hands

2018
01:39:21,600 --> 01:39:23,720
Speaker 1: and your pads, those guys are going to bounce off

2019
01:39:23,760 --> 01:39:26,360
Speaker 1: and have some big explosion plays. And so that's something

2020
01:39:26,360 --> 01:39:27,880
Speaker 1: that we really want to make sure that we were

2021
01:39:27,920 --> 01:39:30,160
Speaker 1: sure up as we enter into the first week of

2022
01:39:30,160 --> 01:39:32,720
Speaker 1: the playoffs. So that's not an issue moving forward. There.

2023
01:39:32,720 --> 01:39:34,040
Speaker 1: You kind of get a chance to do that against

2024
01:39:34,080 --> 01:39:37,480
Speaker 1: the Jets this week. Bad break for the Jets this week, Um,

2025
01:39:37,560 --> 01:39:39,479
Speaker 1: they may see a lot of the Jet Killer Matt

2026
01:39:39,520 --> 01:39:44,479
Speaker 1: Barkley remember here. Yeah, he had a great over again

2027
01:39:44,520 --> 01:39:46,800
Speaker 1: for those guys, And and Barkley's got to feel pretty

2028
01:39:46,800 --> 01:39:50,439
Speaker 1: good about whatever reps he's gonna get, whether it's whatever, right, yeah,

2029
01:39:50,560 --> 01:39:52,760
Speaker 1: it's he's got to feel good and probably the team

2030
01:39:52,760 --> 01:39:55,920
Speaker 1: feels good having him out there. Um yeah, most definitely

2031
01:39:55,960 --> 01:39:57,519
Speaker 1: has he been taking reps? I mean, how's he looking

2032
01:39:57,600 --> 01:39:59,479
Speaker 1: what's his He's definitely been taking reps. I mean it

2033
01:39:59,520 --> 01:40:02,360
Speaker 1: met is. He's a pros pro. He prepares all year long,

2034
01:40:02,439 --> 01:40:05,080
Speaker 1: gets the looks. Obviously in practice he gets you know,

2035
01:40:05,120 --> 01:40:06,760
Speaker 1: when we have a game that's on the line, his

2036
01:40:06,840 --> 01:40:10,280
Speaker 1: reps are reduced because Josh is getting all of them.

2037
01:40:10,280 --> 01:40:12,120
Speaker 1: But he's taking the practice squad reps and trying to

2038
01:40:12,120 --> 01:40:14,840
Speaker 1: go still go through his progressions as he would as

2039
01:40:14,840 --> 01:40:17,559
Speaker 1: if he was out there. And so he's had a

2040
01:40:17,600 --> 01:40:19,640
Speaker 1: lot of opportunities to throw the ball in practice and

2041
01:40:19,720 --> 01:40:22,760
Speaker 1: be competitive. We have a very competitive practice, and so

2042
01:40:22,800 --> 01:40:24,479
Speaker 1: I know he's going to be ready and up for

2043
01:40:24,520 --> 01:40:26,000
Speaker 1: the you know, the opportunity to go out there and

2044
01:40:26,040 --> 01:40:29,240
Speaker 1: showcase once again and get an opportunity to play as

2045
01:40:29,280 --> 01:40:31,640
Speaker 1: the season, the regular season comes to an end. We

2046
01:40:31,680 --> 01:40:35,160
Speaker 1: wanted to do some superlatives with the Lorenzo, So let's

2047
01:40:35,200 --> 01:40:38,400
Speaker 1: get into these superlatives. What do you think is your

2048
01:40:38,479 --> 01:40:42,519
Speaker 1: best off the field moment from the team in twenty nineties.

2049
01:40:43,280 --> 01:40:46,480
Speaker 1: You know, for me, it would have to be Thanksgiving

2050
01:40:46,560 --> 01:40:49,559
Speaker 1: Day after we beat the Dallas Cowboys coming home and

2051
01:40:49,600 --> 01:40:52,040
Speaker 1: had to be I don't know, two two thirty after

2052
01:40:52,080 --> 01:40:54,720
Speaker 1: you've eating all his food and you come off the

2053
01:40:54,760 --> 01:40:57,040
Speaker 1: plane and you have I don't know a thousand people

2054
01:40:57,080 --> 01:41:00,600
Speaker 1: outside and it is buck cold, you know, I you know,

2055
01:41:00,800 --> 01:41:04,360
Speaker 1: it just shows you the passion of this Bills community

2056
01:41:04,600 --> 01:41:07,040
Speaker 1: for the Buffalo Bills, because I couldn't see myself doing that.

2057
01:41:07,439 --> 01:41:09,759
Speaker 1: But they love us. Obviously we appreciate all the support

2058
01:41:09,800 --> 01:41:12,280
Speaker 1: they've given us. But that's cool, and you know, yeah,

2059
01:41:12,400 --> 01:41:14,280
Speaker 1: that's probably the coolest moment off the field. How good

2060
01:41:14,320 --> 01:41:16,400
Speaker 1: was it to see Cole Beasley in the locker room

2061
01:41:16,400 --> 01:41:18,800
Speaker 1: after that game beating his former team? Yeah, that was

2062
01:41:18,840 --> 01:41:20,720
Speaker 1: cool and everybody wanted to wait on him. Obviously had

2063
01:41:20,720 --> 01:41:23,200
Speaker 1: a huge game. UM, anytime you're able to go back

2064
01:41:23,200 --> 01:41:25,479
Speaker 1: and beat a team that didn't want to, you know,

2065
01:41:25,640 --> 01:41:27,560
Speaker 1: obviously pay you what you what you thought you was

2066
01:41:27,640 --> 01:41:29,320
Speaker 1: deserved to go out, able to go back in there

2067
01:41:29,439 --> 01:41:31,600
Speaker 1: and beat them. It was great, It was great. It

2068
01:41:31,640 --> 01:41:35,840
Speaker 1: was awesome. What about was the biggest surprise on your

2069
01:41:35,840 --> 01:41:37,400
Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball. You've got a lot of

2070
01:41:37,400 --> 01:41:41,640
Speaker 1: guys over yet defense has been elite through If I

2071
01:41:41,640 --> 01:41:43,639
Speaker 1: had to pick, if you're gonna make me pick one guy,

2072
01:41:43,720 --> 01:41:45,960
Speaker 1: I would say the way Jordan Phillips has really shown

2073
01:41:46,040 --> 01:41:48,920
Speaker 1: up UM this year nine and a half sacks. Um

2074
01:41:49,000 --> 01:41:51,000
Speaker 1: has been dominant on the line of scrimmage all year,

2075
01:41:51,520 --> 01:41:54,880
Speaker 1: very productive and breaking up stuff and um, my one

2076
01:41:54,920 --> 01:41:56,800
Speaker 1: b I gotta I gotta talk about my guy ty

2077
01:41:56,880 --> 01:41:59,800
Speaker 1: Crane as we called him. But Shack Lawson, Um, you know,

2078
01:41:59,840 --> 01:42:02,160
Speaker 1: I obviously not getting his option picked up and not

2079
01:42:02,240 --> 01:42:04,040
Speaker 1: allowing that to really affect the way he was going

2080
01:42:04,080 --> 01:42:06,360
Speaker 1: to approach, as you know, and he really took it

2081
01:42:06,400 --> 01:42:09,479
Speaker 1: to heart, um and continue to grow up, grow up

2082
01:42:09,520 --> 01:42:11,920
Speaker 1: in this league. And he's been, um a guy that

2083
01:42:11,960 --> 01:42:13,680
Speaker 1: I've got to see from his rookie year to his

2084
01:42:13,760 --> 01:42:16,920
Speaker 1: fourth year and he's really taking leaps and bounds and

2085
01:42:16,960 --> 01:42:18,720
Speaker 1: you can just see his production obviously in the in

2086
01:42:18,760 --> 01:42:20,640
Speaker 1: the in the past game getting after the quarterback, but

2087
01:42:20,680 --> 01:42:22,559
Speaker 1: also the way he prepares every day and the way

2088
01:42:22,560 --> 01:42:24,600
Speaker 1: he plays a run is one of the tops in

2089
01:42:24,640 --> 01:42:27,479
Speaker 1: the league, I believe. What about your biggest surprise on offense?

2090
01:42:27,479 --> 01:42:29,680
Speaker 1: There have been a lot of productive guys on this

2091
01:42:29,720 --> 01:42:32,479
Speaker 1: offense this year, a lot of improvement on the offense.

2092
01:42:32,560 --> 01:42:35,000
Speaker 1: If you get to pick one or maybe even a couple,

2093
01:42:35,120 --> 01:42:37,800
Speaker 1: what what pops off to you? A couple of guys

2094
01:42:37,800 --> 01:42:40,479
Speaker 1: that have popped just because the way the year started

2095
01:42:40,479 --> 01:42:42,600
Speaker 1: off obviously you have you know, Hall of famers in

2096
01:42:42,600 --> 01:42:45,320
Speaker 1: the room and Frank Gore and Lashawn McCoy and the

2097
01:42:45,360 --> 01:42:49,519
Speaker 1: way Devin has really uh come out as uh the

2098
01:42:49,680 --> 01:42:51,959
Speaker 1: guy and has told it the rock and the outside

2099
01:42:51,960 --> 01:42:53,960
Speaker 1: of I think two games that he missed has been

2100
01:42:54,120 --> 01:42:57,040
Speaker 1: very durable and it is very explosive in a lot

2101
01:42:57,080 --> 01:42:59,639
Speaker 1: of different ways. And so I've really been surprised about

2102
01:42:59,640 --> 01:43:02,240
Speaker 1: how ass he's made an impact on our team, having

2103
01:43:02,240 --> 01:43:04,160
Speaker 1: those other guys in the room, and it's really kind

2104
01:43:04,160 --> 01:43:07,600
Speaker 1: of um stood up and stood out. Yeah. One of

2105
01:43:07,600 --> 01:43:09,800
Speaker 1: the other things that better what was the things that

2106
01:43:09,800 --> 01:43:12,000
Speaker 1: have happened on the field. I mean you personally, you've

2107
01:43:12,000 --> 01:43:13,920
Speaker 1: seen on the team, You've got a lot of great moments.

2108
01:43:13,960 --> 01:43:16,759
Speaker 1: You're five team headed, the playoffs you gotta sewed up early.

2109
01:43:17,439 --> 01:43:20,920
Speaker 1: It's been a fun year. What's been the best on

2110
01:43:20,960 --> 01:43:23,320
Speaker 1: the field moment? What's been what's happened that you're gonna

2111
01:43:23,320 --> 01:43:26,160
Speaker 1: remember about this season where you look around and say, man,

2112
01:43:26,200 --> 01:43:30,479
Speaker 1: this is pretty cool. Maybe it hasn't happened yet, do

2113
01:43:30,640 --> 01:43:35,160
Speaker 1: not know them? Yeah, I don't know this year. I

2114
01:43:35,200 --> 01:43:37,639
Speaker 1: mean because I've always expected to be a playoff team,

2115
01:43:37,760 --> 01:43:39,679
Speaker 1: and so you know, it was cool to obviously clinch

2116
01:43:40,400 --> 01:43:44,800
Speaker 1: um in Pittsburgh and obviously solidify that momentum. But I

2117
01:43:44,800 --> 01:43:46,800
Speaker 1: think we have better things coming. I'm waiting for, you know,

2118
01:43:47,120 --> 01:43:49,479
Speaker 1: getting the playoffs and actually win a game. I haven't

2119
01:43:49,479 --> 01:43:51,960
Speaker 1: won a game at all in the playoffs, and so

2120
01:43:52,120 --> 01:43:53,720
Speaker 1: I'm looking for it. I'm looking for that to be

2121
01:43:53,760 --> 01:43:57,040
Speaker 1: my best moment. What about best rookie moment? Is there

2122
01:43:57,040 --> 01:43:59,559
Speaker 1: a rookie that stands down to your an end game moment?

2123
01:44:00,000 --> 01:44:01,280
Speaker 1: I gotta saw this. I mean it has to be

2124
01:44:01,360 --> 01:44:04,040
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox going be small on the sideline. Who who

2125
01:44:04,080 --> 01:44:06,640
Speaker 1: are you playing, Miami or somebody Cincinnati. I mean he

2126
01:44:06,880 --> 01:44:12,519
Speaker 1: throws two or three guys down due Dawson is and

2127
01:44:12,560 --> 01:44:14,120
Speaker 1: he would have been my other guy as far as

2128
01:44:14,160 --> 01:44:17,040
Speaker 1: standing out as a young guy offensively. But the way

2129
01:44:17,080 --> 01:44:19,320
Speaker 1: he's played this year, being in that tight end, having

2130
01:44:19,320 --> 01:44:21,960
Speaker 1: to block some some good dns, being in the run game,

2131
01:44:22,080 --> 01:44:24,880
Speaker 1: he's your complete tight end. Kind of a throwback in

2132
01:44:24,880 --> 01:44:26,679
Speaker 1: a sense because in his day and age, it almost

2133
01:44:26,680 --> 01:44:28,080
Speaker 1: seems like you have to be one or the other.

2134
01:44:28,120 --> 01:44:30,680
Speaker 1: You have to be a good blocker or you have

2135
01:44:30,720 --> 01:44:33,240
Speaker 1: to be more of that, you know, glorified receiver as

2136
01:44:33,240 --> 01:44:34,880
Speaker 1: a tight end and he does a great job of

2137
01:44:35,240 --> 01:44:38,599
Speaker 1: doing both at a high level. There's so many moments

2138
01:44:38,600 --> 01:44:40,360
Speaker 1: in this season that you look back on his seat

2139
01:44:40,479 --> 01:44:41,960
Speaker 1: glimpses of, and there are a couple of things that

2140
01:44:42,080 --> 01:44:44,960
Speaker 1: grouped together for me. I think early on, you know,

2141
01:44:45,360 --> 01:44:47,519
Speaker 1: nobody knows how it's gonna go, right you get in there,

2142
01:44:47,600 --> 01:44:51,000
Speaker 1: you're down sixteen points in New York. Before you know,

2143
01:44:51,040 --> 01:44:52,800
Speaker 1: they score all their points, and then you come back

2144
01:44:52,800 --> 01:44:55,479
Speaker 1: and score more one than them to win it. I

2145
01:44:55,520 --> 01:44:57,400
Speaker 1: think I remember those first two weeks, and then you

2146
01:44:57,439 --> 01:44:59,280
Speaker 1: went back to New York and played the Giant right

2147
01:44:59,400 --> 01:45:01,120
Speaker 1: and they hit you the mouth on the first drive.

2148
01:45:01,880 --> 01:45:03,519
Speaker 1: The thing that stands out to me is the two

2149
01:45:03,640 --> 01:45:05,920
Speaker 1: consecutive weeks in games you really kind of needed to

2150
01:45:05,920 --> 01:45:08,759
Speaker 1: have to set the tone for the season. Josh Allen

2151
01:45:08,880 --> 01:45:12,040
Speaker 1: scored in the same corner of the same end zone

2152
01:45:12,080 --> 01:45:14,240
Speaker 1: in two different games, one on a call to run,

2153
01:45:14,360 --> 01:45:17,880
Speaker 1: one on a scramble, and you knew the defense was

2154
01:45:17,920 --> 01:45:19,680
Speaker 1: gonna be good. You didn't know how good he was

2155
01:45:19,720 --> 01:45:22,200
Speaker 1: gonna and so much road on how how he improved,

2156
01:45:22,520 --> 01:45:26,000
Speaker 1: and that to me, those two moments in two different

2157
01:45:26,040 --> 01:45:27,960
Speaker 1: weeks set the tone for like, you know what this

2158
01:45:28,000 --> 01:45:30,960
Speaker 1: guy is gonna get better. Oh yeah, yeah, and if

2159
01:45:31,080 --> 01:45:33,400
Speaker 1: you can see it. And that was to me, that

2160
01:45:33,479 --> 01:45:35,120
Speaker 1: was like it's set up for like we're two and

2161
01:45:35,200 --> 01:45:40,000
Speaker 1: oh right, yeah, let's go. You know, it's right. I know.

2162
01:45:40,040 --> 01:45:42,960
Speaker 1: It's been great, And I guess I'm something though, surprising

2163
01:45:42,960 --> 01:45:45,000
Speaker 1: because I get to see how he works every day

2164
01:45:45,200 --> 01:45:47,360
Speaker 1: and obviously you guys know him and talk to him,

2165
01:45:47,400 --> 01:45:49,639
Speaker 1: but not as round as much as the players are.

2166
01:45:49,720 --> 01:45:52,080
Speaker 1: So I've had confidence of what he was going to

2167
01:45:52,160 --> 01:45:54,439
Speaker 1: be able to do um since day one, going back

2168
01:45:54,479 --> 01:45:57,080
Speaker 1: to OTAs and just seeing the growth there and and

2169
01:45:57,320 --> 01:46:00,160
Speaker 1: his mind set, the way he approaches the game is uh,

2170
01:46:00,880 --> 01:46:04,000
Speaker 1: he's just awesome to watch as a guy that's going

2171
01:46:04,040 --> 01:46:05,680
Speaker 1: out of the league to watch a guy that's coming

2172
01:46:05,720 --> 01:46:07,559
Speaker 1: in the league and grabbing it by it and trying

2173
01:46:07,560 --> 01:46:09,840
Speaker 1: to do everything the right way. Yeah. And the way

2174
01:46:09,840 --> 01:46:12,479
Speaker 1: this offense has been able to put drives together when

2175
01:46:12,479 --> 01:46:15,720
Speaker 1: it matters most led by Josh Allen, has just been

2176
01:46:16,040 --> 01:46:18,720
Speaker 1: amazing to watch those fourth quarter drives, to be able

2177
01:46:18,760 --> 01:46:21,240
Speaker 1: to put a touchdown together and just march down the field,

2178
01:46:21,479 --> 01:46:24,719
Speaker 1: watching Josh throw a fifty three yard pass to John

2179
01:46:24,760 --> 01:46:27,280
Speaker 1: Brown and score. I mean, these these are definitely some

2180
01:46:27,360 --> 01:46:29,720
Speaker 1: highlights in the regular season that that stick out to

2181
01:46:29,760 --> 01:46:33,800
Speaker 1: me too. Yeah, what about your best rookie moment? My

2182
01:46:33,920 --> 01:46:39,040
Speaker 1: best rookie moment, Man, I'm not talking about your rookie

2183
01:46:39,080 --> 01:46:41,720
Speaker 1: year ten. Yeah, I definitely don't remember my best rookie moment.

2184
01:46:41,760 --> 01:46:44,640
Speaker 1: I don't even know what my rookie moment would be. Um.

2185
01:46:46,240 --> 01:46:48,360
Speaker 1: I kind of talked about them already. The two guys

2186
01:46:48,360 --> 01:46:52,599
Speaker 1: that pop out, I don't I don't know what I mean.

2187
01:46:52,640 --> 01:46:59,240
Speaker 1: It's ed Get his first real sack. Remember his first

2188
01:46:59,240 --> 01:47:02,759
Speaker 1: sack that counted as a sack, but it wasn't necessarily

2189
01:47:02,800 --> 01:47:04,960
Speaker 1: against the quarterback. Yeah, I don't know on that one.

2190
01:47:05,040 --> 01:47:06,760
Speaker 1: I mean, they've they've all done a great job. It's

2191
01:47:06,800 --> 01:47:10,240
Speaker 1: collectively how well they've contributed to this team. And uh,

2192
01:47:10,320 --> 01:47:12,280
Speaker 1: I think that's the coolest part. And that's one of

2193
01:47:12,280 --> 01:47:14,400
Speaker 1: the reasons why we're here now because oftentimes, you know,

2194
01:47:14,600 --> 01:47:16,240
Speaker 1: you can kind of on paper, you know where the

2195
01:47:16,280 --> 01:47:19,080
Speaker 1: team is going is projected to be, and the X

2196
01:47:19,120 --> 01:47:22,280
Speaker 1: factor is how how well your young guys going to play,

2197
01:47:22,280 --> 01:47:24,880
Speaker 1: you know, that first year guy or the guy going

2198
01:47:24,920 --> 01:47:28,040
Speaker 1: into a sophomore season. Um. And so to see how

2199
01:47:28,040 --> 01:47:30,200
Speaker 1: many rookies we have that are contributing to this team

2200
01:47:30,240 --> 01:47:33,639
Speaker 1: at a high level. Um collectively is the reason why

2201
01:47:33,680 --> 01:47:36,760
Speaker 1: we're probably in the playoffs, you know, um against Pittsburgh

2202
01:47:36,920 --> 01:47:39,000
Speaker 1: or with two games left to play. What about your

2203
01:47:39,000 --> 01:47:43,040
Speaker 1: best veteran moment. That's Frank Gore. Yeah, and you know,

2204
01:47:43,080 --> 01:47:46,400
Speaker 1: obviously he set, yes, setting a record, but it was

2205
01:47:46,400 --> 01:47:48,400
Speaker 1: a game and he set the tone early for us.

2206
01:47:48,439 --> 01:47:52,040
Speaker 1: It was actually the Giants game when he fifty seven.

2207
01:47:52,080 --> 01:47:55,639
Speaker 1: I don't know who he is, but I still plays

2208
01:47:57,000 --> 01:48:05,479
Speaker 1: line background of Wisconsin and Frank. Oh yeah, and you

2209
01:48:05,600 --> 01:48:08,479
Speaker 1: know going against Frank, I played against him, So that

2210
01:48:08,520 --> 01:48:10,880
Speaker 1: has been in the back of my minds's day one,

2211
01:48:10,920 --> 01:48:12,920
Speaker 1: and that's one of the I think plays and runs

2212
01:48:12,920 --> 01:48:15,120
Speaker 1: that have really defined our season. You talk about being

2213
01:48:15,160 --> 01:48:18,200
Speaker 1: gritty and bazillion, you know, in that Giants game, that's

2214
01:48:18,320 --> 01:48:21,000
Speaker 1: that's really the definition of our football team right there. Yeah,

2215
01:48:21,040 --> 01:48:23,000
Speaker 1: that was a sixteen year running back who's going to

2216
01:48:23,000 --> 01:48:26,639
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame telling the rookie linebacker who had

2217
01:48:26,680 --> 01:48:31,439
Speaker 1: some get off my Yeah, Yeah, it was that was

2218
01:48:31,439 --> 01:48:34,320
Speaker 1: pretty special. I agree, one hundred percent exactly the moment

2219
01:48:34,360 --> 01:48:37,200
Speaker 1: I was thinking of as well, Frank or maybe Dion

2220
01:48:37,320 --> 01:48:40,559
Speaker 1: Dawkins catching the touchdown passing was a good moment too.

2221
01:48:40,560 --> 01:48:42,320
Speaker 1: Those are always fun to trick plays. But that one

2222
01:48:42,439 --> 01:48:46,439
Speaker 1: right there, as a former player, Yeah, that one, that

2223
01:48:46,479 --> 01:48:51,519
Speaker 1: one spoke to me. That's an old school player. Yeah,

2224
01:48:51,720 --> 01:48:54,760
Speaker 1: we had we had something. And Kurt Coleman had a

2225
01:48:54,800 --> 01:48:57,200
Speaker 1: statement yesterday in the locker room where he says, listen, this,

2226
01:48:57,200 --> 01:49:01,280
Speaker 1: this resting guys and and taking time off and being

2227
01:49:01,280 --> 01:49:04,080
Speaker 1: prepared to play is kind of a media driven thing.

2228
01:49:04,120 --> 01:49:05,559
Speaker 1: And I and I kind of caught where he was

2229
01:49:05,600 --> 01:49:07,680
Speaker 1: coming from yesterday a lot and some of the other

2230
01:49:07,680 --> 01:49:09,439
Speaker 1: guys were like, what are you talking about. You know

2231
01:49:10,520 --> 01:49:12,800
Speaker 1: it's not media driven. We're not the one sitting here.

2232
01:49:12,840 --> 01:49:16,439
Speaker 1: But here's the thing. Guys like Matt Barkley and Kurt

2233
01:49:16,520 --> 01:49:21,679
Speaker 1: Coleman and t. J. Yelden, they're getting ready to play

2234
01:49:21,760 --> 01:49:25,000
Speaker 1: every week, right, it is not a different week. Yeah,

2235
01:49:25,280 --> 01:49:27,360
Speaker 1: they have got to be ready. That is there. That's

2236
01:49:27,360 --> 01:49:30,320
Speaker 1: why you get seven figures so you can stay ready,

2237
01:49:30,360 --> 01:49:33,880
Speaker 1: be ready, and be prepared. You don't get the rest.

2238
01:49:33,960 --> 01:49:35,960
Speaker 1: The tone and said like a guy's gonna take the

2239
01:49:36,040 --> 01:49:37,840
Speaker 1: chill all, you know, like the whole team of this

2240
01:49:37,960 --> 01:49:41,720
Speaker 1: chill that all the starter is just hang out. It works. No,

2241
01:49:41,840 --> 01:49:43,960
Speaker 1: everybody's mindset is Hey, I got to play in this

2242
01:49:43,960 --> 01:49:46,120
Speaker 1: game because you don't know what's gonna happen. Because dress

2243
01:49:46,280 --> 01:49:49,000
Speaker 1: forty six guys, that's right, and that's that's the attitude

2244
01:49:49,520 --> 01:49:52,479
Speaker 1: with You can rest him, but you can't rest everybody.

2245
01:49:53,080 --> 01:49:56,000
Speaker 1: Somebody got to cover kicks, somebody cover punch. Somebody's gotta,

2246
01:49:56,560 --> 01:50:00,120
Speaker 1: you know, be there. Dan said that in the the

2247
01:50:00,120 --> 01:50:02,960
Speaker 1: press conference. He was like, I wish I could sit everybody,

2248
01:50:03,000 --> 01:50:05,680
Speaker 1: but I cannot. We only dress forty six, right, you

2249
01:50:05,680 --> 01:50:10,960
Speaker 1: wish you right, relax at the beach for a minute,

2250
01:50:11,000 --> 01:50:14,559
Speaker 1: you know, But it really is. It's a mindset that, yeah,

2251
01:50:14,560 --> 01:50:16,680
Speaker 1: it's we I may play more or I may be

2252
01:50:16,760 --> 01:50:19,200
Speaker 1: ready to play, but I can't. If I could prepare harder,

2253
01:50:20,040 --> 01:50:22,240
Speaker 1: I would have done that last week when I didn't play.

2254
01:50:22,280 --> 01:50:25,080
Speaker 1: I wouldn't you know. That's the mindset, correct, correct, Yeah,

2255
01:50:25,120 --> 01:50:26,720
Speaker 1: And I think that's what Kurt was talking to. Being

2256
01:50:26,720 --> 01:50:29,240
Speaker 1: a veteran, he understand how hard it is each week,

2257
01:50:29,320 --> 01:50:31,040
Speaker 1: regardless if you want to be the guy out there

2258
01:50:31,040 --> 01:50:33,479
Speaker 1: getting all sixty reps or a guy that may get

2259
01:50:33,520 --> 01:50:35,800
Speaker 1: five or zero, you have to prepare the same way.

2260
01:50:35,920 --> 01:50:37,840
Speaker 1: All right. So let's let's hear we got the Jets

2261
01:50:37,840 --> 01:50:40,160
Speaker 1: coming in week seventeen to the regular seats to go

2262
01:50:40,280 --> 01:50:42,040
Speaker 1: eleven and five on the year, you got the five

2263
01:50:42,080 --> 01:50:46,280
Speaker 1: seed locked up. What's the lowdown for the Jets in

2264
01:50:46,479 --> 01:50:48,920
Speaker 1: Ruffalo this weekend? Well, this was a weird weekend. I

2265
01:50:49,000 --> 01:50:50,800
Speaker 1: kind of got away from, I guess, some of my

2266
01:50:50,880 --> 01:50:52,880
Speaker 1: traditional lowdowns as far as how to beat him, and

2267
01:50:52,960 --> 01:50:54,479
Speaker 1: kind of looked at the big picture of this game,

2268
01:50:54,560 --> 01:50:57,960
Speaker 1: kind of what we already talked about, and what did

2269
01:50:57,960 --> 01:51:01,479
Speaker 1: I start off with? Experience? It's number one experiences and

2270
01:51:01,520 --> 01:51:03,200
Speaker 1: what I mean by that is just what we kind

2271
01:51:03,200 --> 01:51:05,639
Speaker 1: of were alluding to. When you have guys like Kirk Coleman,

2272
01:51:05,640 --> 01:51:08,280
Speaker 1: obviously he's a VET. TJ Yellows a VET, but you

2273
01:51:08,320 --> 01:51:12,519
Speaker 1: start talking about a Jaquan or a Corey Thompson that

2274
01:51:12,560 --> 01:51:15,040
Speaker 1: are gonna have opportunities to play significant amount of reps,

2275
01:51:15,040 --> 01:51:17,920
Speaker 1: whether it's linebacker or safety, us maybe some offensive lineman

2276
01:51:17,960 --> 01:51:21,360
Speaker 1: getting in there. We talk about Matt Barkley playing, allowing

2277
01:51:21,360 --> 01:51:25,519
Speaker 1: these guys to get some real live game reps that

2278
01:51:25,560 --> 01:51:28,280
Speaker 1: they most of them haven't seen outside of special teams,

2279
01:51:28,320 --> 01:51:32,200
Speaker 1: haven't seen any reps since preseason. And you know, my

2280
01:51:32,520 --> 01:51:34,720
Speaker 1: train of thought is that this season, obviously now we're

2281
01:51:34,720 --> 01:51:38,519
Speaker 1: going to postseason. Now we're talking about game seventeen, hopefully

2282
01:51:38,560 --> 01:51:42,559
Speaker 1: game you know, eighteen, nineteen, and twenty, and that is

2283
01:51:42,640 --> 01:51:45,479
Speaker 1: more strained on the starter's bodies and so you hate

2284
01:51:45,479 --> 01:51:47,439
Speaker 1: to see it, but at some point there may be

2285
01:51:47,560 --> 01:51:50,360
Speaker 1: an injury that that's unforeseen because we're going into additional

2286
01:51:50,400 --> 01:51:52,840
Speaker 1: play and that experience is going to help that guy,

2287
01:51:52,920 --> 01:51:56,080
Speaker 1: that backup, that gotten this week seventeen play versus the Jets,

2288
01:51:56,080 --> 01:51:58,360
Speaker 1: some live reps, now you can step in, Okay, at

2289
01:51:58,439 --> 01:52:00,680
Speaker 1: least I have a little bit of a game and

2290
01:52:00,720 --> 01:52:02,320
Speaker 1: I don't have to think about what it was like

2291
01:52:02,400 --> 01:52:04,439
Speaker 1: in preseason when I was out there, you know, fighting

2292
01:52:04,479 --> 01:52:06,920
Speaker 1: for a job. And it's interesting too that the Bills,

2293
01:52:06,960 --> 01:52:09,200
Speaker 1: you talk about guys resting guys and who's gotten reps?

2294
01:52:09,200 --> 01:52:10,920
Speaker 1: Who has in the Bills are one of the league leaders,

2295
01:52:10,920 --> 01:52:14,280
Speaker 1: and the fewest people they've used in game fifty seven

2296
01:52:14,320 --> 01:52:16,760
Speaker 1: guys have seen snaps for this team. There's some like

2297
01:52:16,800 --> 01:52:20,120
Speaker 1: the Jets, the Dolphins have seen eighty five, not you know,

2298
01:52:22,520 --> 01:52:24,760
Speaker 1: taking live reps, right, And that's a good thing because

2299
01:52:24,760 --> 01:52:26,160
Speaker 1: we don't have a lot of guys on I all.

2300
01:52:26,720 --> 01:52:28,559
Speaker 1: But yeah, like I said, you just never know when

2301
01:52:28,600 --> 01:52:31,040
Speaker 1: that injury bug Hopefully it doesn't speak up on us,

2302
01:52:31,040 --> 01:52:33,160
Speaker 1: you know, knocking on wood, but you just never know.

2303
01:52:33,240 --> 01:52:35,360
Speaker 1: And you need that experience because it's next man up

2304
01:52:35,400 --> 01:52:38,360
Speaker 1: and that this is a good live venue for these

2305
01:52:38,360 --> 01:52:40,000
Speaker 1: guys to get these reps to see it so they

2306
01:52:40,240 --> 01:52:41,960
Speaker 1: are more prepared. Well, there's a playoff team too. It

2307
01:52:41,960 --> 01:52:44,280
Speaker 1: doesn't mean always injuries either. If you get teams like

2308
01:52:44,360 --> 01:52:46,880
Speaker 1: the Dolphins or the Cincinnati Bengals or some of these

2309
01:52:46,880 --> 01:52:49,120
Speaker 1: teams they turned that roster. They're trying to find guys

2310
01:52:49,120 --> 01:52:51,400
Speaker 1: that can play. Yeah, that's trying there. It's a it's

2311
01:52:51,439 --> 01:52:53,680
Speaker 1: all about it. It's a scouting combat. Every week they

2312
01:52:53,680 --> 01:52:55,559
Speaker 1: get a guy who comes in. How's he acclimate, what's

2313
01:52:55,600 --> 01:52:57,920
Speaker 1: he like? What's he doing? He's he better than that guy? Okay,

2314
01:52:57,920 --> 01:53:00,000
Speaker 1: we'll keep him and throw that guy out, get another one.

2315
01:53:00,560 --> 01:53:03,040
Speaker 1: That's what these teams, the Bills have been victims of that.

2316
01:53:03,080 --> 01:53:06,200
Speaker 1: In Yeah, I've been yeah, ten guys working out every

2317
01:53:06,200 --> 01:53:08,800
Speaker 1: two rights exactly right now. And it says something about

2318
01:53:08,840 --> 01:53:10,479
Speaker 1: the state of this team and the stability of it

2319
01:53:10,520 --> 01:53:13,080
Speaker 1: that their roster has been so static throughout the Raider season.

2320
01:53:13,200 --> 01:53:14,920
Speaker 1: Not only the health but also the quality of the

2321
01:53:14,920 --> 01:53:18,599
Speaker 1: player right makes a lot of sense. Yeah. Thing. Second

2322
01:53:18,600 --> 01:53:22,000
Speaker 1: thing execution. Um. You know, obviously we're gonna have a

2323
01:53:22,040 --> 01:53:24,680
Speaker 1: lot of moving parts this weekend. Um, as far as

2324
01:53:24,720 --> 01:53:27,919
Speaker 1: guy's playing special teams and now having to double on defense,

2325
01:53:28,000 --> 01:53:29,720
Speaker 1: and so just making sure guys get in and out

2326
01:53:29,720 --> 01:53:32,200
Speaker 1: of the huddle. No, we don't have to burn timehouse

2327
01:53:32,240 --> 01:53:35,120
Speaker 1: for stupid stuff. And then and then that we execute

2328
01:53:35,120 --> 01:53:38,040
Speaker 1: the game plan. Um, because you want to be able

2329
01:53:38,040 --> 01:53:39,640
Speaker 1: to make sure that your standard is still at a

2330
01:53:39,720 --> 01:53:41,240
Speaker 1: high level, because we do want to go out there

2331
01:53:41,240 --> 01:53:43,519
Speaker 1: and win this game. And so um, even though we

2332
01:53:43,560 --> 01:53:46,160
Speaker 1: won't have our you know, starters and I'm using airports

2333
01:53:46,200 --> 01:53:48,519
Speaker 1: because air quotes, because everybody's a start in my mind,

2334
01:53:48,600 --> 01:53:51,080
Speaker 1: you want to make sure that we're able to execute

2335
01:53:51,120 --> 01:53:53,200
Speaker 1: and still play the high level. And so we still

2336
01:53:53,240 --> 01:53:54,920
Speaker 1: have to set the tone as far as you know,

2337
01:53:54,960 --> 01:53:57,160
Speaker 1: getting off blocks, being physic at the line of scrimmage,

2338
01:53:57,400 --> 01:54:00,960
Speaker 1: tackling well, blocking well, catching the football. Um, being on

2339
01:54:01,000 --> 01:54:02,840
Speaker 1: the same page, and be able to communicate with guys,

2340
01:54:02,880 --> 01:54:05,000
Speaker 1: because now you're gonna be working with somebody that you

2341
01:54:05,040 --> 01:54:07,200
Speaker 1: may not have worked with for a long time or

2342
01:54:07,200 --> 01:54:09,600
Speaker 1: maybe not at all, especially like you know, back in

2343
01:54:09,720 --> 01:54:13,280
Speaker 1: communication linebacker and safety talk. So you want to make

2344
01:54:13,320 --> 01:54:15,800
Speaker 1: all these things are in line because you don't want

2345
01:54:15,800 --> 01:54:18,240
Speaker 1: to give up, you know, a stupid touchdown or a

2346
01:54:18,280 --> 01:54:22,120
Speaker 1: bad play because we weren't communicating well, right, all right.

2347
01:54:22,160 --> 01:54:24,200
Speaker 1: So the third thing, and it's it's the most obvious.

2348
01:54:24,200 --> 01:54:25,960
Speaker 1: When you get to stay healthy, stay healthy, you want

2349
01:54:25,960 --> 01:54:27,599
Speaker 1: to show up in the playoffs ready to go, right,

2350
01:54:27,640 --> 01:54:29,320
Speaker 1: And this is probably one of the most important things,

2351
01:54:29,320 --> 01:54:31,439
Speaker 1: is just making sure that guys get in obviously get

2352
01:54:31,439 --> 01:54:34,120
Speaker 1: get a sweat going, but then obviously being very strategic

2353
01:54:34,200 --> 01:54:36,120
Speaker 1: about you know, when you decide to pull guys or

2354
01:54:36,120 --> 01:54:38,280
Speaker 1: who or who plays, and so that we just come

2355
01:54:38,320 --> 01:54:40,280
Speaker 1: out and that we're healthy and ready to go for

2356
01:54:40,320 --> 01:54:42,000
Speaker 1: this first round of the playoffs because at the end

2357
01:54:42,000 --> 01:54:43,840
Speaker 1: of the day, that's that's what really matters, because we

2358
01:54:43,840 --> 01:54:46,440
Speaker 1: all want a championship at the end of the day. Lorenzo,

2359
01:54:46,960 --> 01:54:49,280
Speaker 1: last show of the regular season. Man, we're off to

2360
01:54:49,320 --> 01:54:52,560
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Congratulations, looking forward to stay one pieces. We

2361
01:54:52,680 --> 01:54:56,520
Speaker 1: can get the win. Well if we are, I don't

2362
01:54:56,560 --> 01:54:58,000
Speaker 1: know if you're gonna do we get a bonus in

2363
01:54:58,000 --> 01:55:00,080
Speaker 1: the Do I get a bonus in the playoff day?

2364
01:55:00,160 --> 01:55:01,640
Speaker 1: And that's what that's what I'm leading to. I'm just

2365

Speaker 1: trying to get something. We're coming back with the bottom

2384
01:56:09,640 --> 01:56:12,440
Speaker 1: some reflections from you on what this season in twenty

2385
01:56:12,560 --> 01:56:15,520
Speaker 1: nineteen has been for you. So first and foremost, at

2386
01:56:15,600 --> 01:56:21,080
Speaker 1: what point were you convinced I belong here, I'm good

2387
01:56:21,160 --> 01:56:24,240
Speaker 1: enough to play in the NFF during training account Yes,

2388
01:56:24,360 --> 01:56:26,560
Speaker 1: you know, to be honest, you know, I'm just getting

2389
01:56:26,560 --> 01:56:28,600
Speaker 1: out there being able, you know, to compete with the

2390
01:56:28,640 --> 01:56:31,080
Speaker 1: guys at at a high level. And I felt like

2391
01:56:31,080 --> 01:56:33,480
Speaker 1: I was able to do pretty well. I'm like, I

2392
01:56:33,560 --> 01:56:35,240
Speaker 1: feel like I got a chance in the league. You know,

2393
01:56:35,280 --> 01:56:37,040
Speaker 1: it wasn't it wasn't too bad, as you have to

2394
01:56:37,040 --> 01:56:39,800
Speaker 1: convince yourself, right, I mean that drafted the team thinks

2395
01:56:39,840 --> 01:56:42,280
Speaker 1: you can, but you almost have to convince yourself, right right,

2396
01:56:42,320 --> 01:56:45,440
Speaker 1: definitely on Yeah, So going in the training count, you know,

2397
01:56:45,440 --> 01:56:47,200
Speaker 1: that was a good time for me. I realized, you know,

2398
01:56:47,240 --> 01:56:49,640
Speaker 1: I belong here. Yeah. And then I was talking to

2399
01:56:49,640 --> 01:56:52,600
Speaker 1: Pat DeMarco the other day and he said, Devin may

2400
01:56:52,640 --> 01:56:59,200
Speaker 1: have had the best football knowledge education a rookie can

2401
01:56:59,240 --> 01:57:02,000
Speaker 1: get at the running position. You had two future Hall

2402
01:57:02,080 --> 01:57:04,760
Speaker 1: of famers to learn from and Lashawn at the time,

2403
01:57:05,080 --> 01:57:08,760
Speaker 1: and then Frank also, what was it like observing and

2404
01:57:08,840 --> 01:57:11,560
Speaker 1: maybe learning from those guys every day in camp, right,

2405
01:57:12,000 --> 01:57:14,760
Speaker 1: that was major for me, you know, like, like you said,

2406
01:57:14,800 --> 01:57:16,800
Speaker 1: those are two of them, you know, some of the

2407
01:57:16,840 --> 01:57:19,640
Speaker 1: greatest backs to play the game. You know. I really

2408
01:57:19,760 --> 01:57:21,800
Speaker 1: was just sitting back and watch them, so you know

2409
01:57:21,840 --> 01:57:23,760
Speaker 1: how they go about their business on the field, and

2410
01:57:23,880 --> 01:57:26,040
Speaker 1: I was taking notes on that. You know, even off

2411
01:57:26,040 --> 01:57:27,720
Speaker 1: the field. You know how they carry themselves, you know

2412
01:57:27,720 --> 01:57:29,800
Speaker 1: how they go about things, and I was taking notes

2413
01:57:29,840 --> 01:57:31,480
Speaker 1: in them. If I had any questions, you know, I

2414
01:57:31,720 --> 01:57:33,680
Speaker 1: can ask them anything I wanted, you know, and they

2415
01:57:33,640 --> 01:57:36,400
Speaker 1: will always give me the answer. A lot of people

2416
01:57:36,520 --> 01:57:40,400
Speaker 1: call you slippery. You're hard to really wrap up or

2417
01:57:40,440 --> 01:57:43,560
Speaker 1: get a clean shot on. Why do you think it's

2418
01:57:43,560 --> 01:57:48,160
Speaker 1: so hard for defenders to get a good, clean hit

2419
01:57:48,240 --> 01:57:51,000
Speaker 1: on you? Um one, just just you know, my God

2420
01:57:51,000 --> 01:57:53,480
Speaker 1: giving talents that I was blessed with, you know. I

2421
01:57:53,480 --> 01:57:55,120
Speaker 1: feel like just growing up, I heard that a lot

2422
01:57:55,240 --> 01:57:58,080
Speaker 1: like I don't take big hits, you know, you know

2423
01:57:58,280 --> 01:58:00,200
Speaker 1: I was. I was always hard to bring down. So

2424
01:58:01,320 --> 01:58:02,720
Speaker 1: I don't know how. I don't know how to put

2425
01:58:02,720 --> 01:58:04,400
Speaker 1: it in you know words. It's just the best way

2426
01:58:04,400 --> 01:58:05,960
Speaker 1: to put it is, just you know, God bless me.

2427
01:58:06,080 --> 01:58:07,600
Speaker 1: You know that's the best way to put it. Do

2428
01:58:07,640 --> 01:58:10,000
Speaker 1: you get caught? I know, guys talk on the field sometimes,

2429
01:58:10,000 --> 01:58:13,520
Speaker 1: so can you get comments from opponents, like whether it's

2430
01:58:13,600 --> 01:58:16,200
Speaker 1: positive comments or dang your heart to get down or

2431
01:58:16,360 --> 01:58:18,280
Speaker 1: I gotta get a hand on you, or like what

2432
01:58:18,280 --> 01:58:21,160
Speaker 1: what do any come to mind? Like you got from

2433
01:58:21,160 --> 01:58:24,920
Speaker 1: other No, definitely I get comments, you know, almost every game.

2434
01:58:25,160 --> 01:58:27,600
Speaker 1: If it's it's mainly from the bit guys or or

2435
01:58:27,760 --> 01:58:29,840
Speaker 1: like the safeties or something like that. Okay, you know

2436
01:58:29,880 --> 01:58:32,240
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Um, you know, like last week, you

2437
01:58:32,280 --> 01:58:34,520
Speaker 1: know the trade, Um, I mean main brother. I know,

2438
01:58:34,840 --> 01:58:36,680
Speaker 1: he came. He came to me like it was doing

2439
01:58:36,680 --> 01:58:38,800
Speaker 1: like a TV term. I listen, man, you shifty. You

2440
01:58:38,840 --> 01:58:41,840
Speaker 1: shifty as him. If you know, I'm like, appreciate appreciate it,

2441
01:58:41,840 --> 01:58:43,560
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Now. I know you've also

2442
01:58:43,600 --> 01:58:45,200
Speaker 1: made a point to kind of get involved in the

2443
01:58:45,200 --> 01:58:47,840
Speaker 1: community here in Buffalo in the surrounding area. It took

2444
01:58:47,880 --> 01:58:50,720
Speaker 1: some kids Christmas shopping. What was that like to kind

2445
01:58:50,760 --> 01:58:52,920
Speaker 1: of give back a little bit? Um? You know that

2446
01:58:53,040 --> 01:58:55,120
Speaker 1: that was amazing. I have fun with the kids on

2447
01:58:55,480 --> 01:58:58,360
Speaker 1: they will feel with joy, you know. But and I

2448
01:58:58,360 --> 01:59:00,080
Speaker 1: always wanted to give back, you know, because when I

2449
01:59:00,120 --> 01:59:01,880
Speaker 1: was young guy, I was able to give back, and

2450
01:59:01,920 --> 01:59:03,480
Speaker 1: I definitely, you know, I want to thank the boys

2451
01:59:03,480 --> 01:59:05,720
Speaker 1: and girls Clause and Target, you know, for helping out

2452
01:59:05,760 --> 01:59:07,640
Speaker 1: and you know, letting me kind of put that together,

2453
01:59:07,640 --> 01:59:10,160
Speaker 1: helping me put that together along with you know, my team.

2454
01:59:10,560 --> 01:59:13,040
Speaker 1: So but like I said, it was fun and you

2455
01:59:13,080 --> 01:59:14,840
Speaker 1: know I love to give back. All Right, we listen,

2456
01:59:14,880 --> 01:59:17,480
Speaker 1: devn Let me appreciate the time. Good luck the rest

2457
01:59:17,480 --> 01:59:19,040
Speaker 1: of the way in this rookie season. I know the

2458
01:59:19,040 --> 01:59:21,760
Speaker 1: fans have enjoyed watching y'all season long. So good luck

2459
01:59:21,800 --> 01:59:24,240
Speaker 1: finishing strong this year. Appreciate him man. All right, that's

2460
01:59:24,240 --> 01:59:26,840
Speaker 1: Bill's running back, Devin Singletary. This has been Coffee with

2461
01:59:26,840 --> 01:59:31,120
Speaker 1: the Bills, presented by Tim Horton's thanks for watching Devin

2462
01:59:31,240 --> 01:59:33,640
Speaker 1: Singletary getting a chance with There's a guy that has

2463
01:59:33,680 --> 01:59:38,720
Speaker 1: really emerged as crucial. Oh yeah to the Bill's success. Yeah,

2464
01:59:38,720 --> 01:59:40,360
Speaker 1: it's good. He's been helping out the team a lot

2465
01:59:40,400 --> 01:59:42,880
Speaker 1: this year. While that was on, the Bill's injury report

2466
01:59:42,920 --> 01:59:45,760
Speaker 1: came out. Shack Lawson and Andre Roberts have both been

2467
01:59:45,840 --> 01:59:48,440
Speaker 1: ruled out of Sunday's game against the Jets, so Shack

2468
01:59:48,520 --> 01:59:50,840
Speaker 1: Lawson will not have a chance to build on his

2469
01:59:50,880 --> 01:59:54,120
Speaker 1: sack total. Mitch Morrise is full go. He may he

2470
01:59:54,200 --> 01:59:56,160
Speaker 1: may not play the entire game, but he's certainly good

2471
01:59:56,160 --> 01:59:59,760
Speaker 1: to go. Tie in Secky who's been injured. He's questionable

2472
01:59:59,760 --> 02:00:04,120
Speaker 1: with ankle injury. So short list of people injured, and

2473
02:00:04,160 --> 02:00:07,240
Speaker 1: I think you could probably guess that Andre Robertson Shack

2474
02:00:07,320 --> 02:00:09,240
Speaker 1: Lawson may or may not have been out of a

2475
02:00:09,280 --> 02:00:11,480
Speaker 1: game if it had meant something. I don't know. Yeah,

2476
02:00:11,720 --> 02:00:15,560
Speaker 1: certainly both of them are for real injured, but so

2477
02:00:15,640 --> 02:00:18,680
Speaker 1: many times we see him suck it up and go. Yeah.

2478
02:00:18,680 --> 02:00:22,360
Speaker 1: Sean McDermot said on Thursday that it would be tough

2479
02:00:22,440 --> 02:00:25,000
Speaker 1: for Shack. This is before they ruled him out for

2480
02:00:25,040 --> 02:00:27,120
Speaker 1: the game, but he said it'd be tough for Shack

2481
02:00:27,200 --> 02:00:29,680
Speaker 1: to play on Sunday. But don't count him out yet.

2482
02:00:30,240 --> 02:00:32,520
Speaker 1: But now the hopes are definitely to get him back

2483
02:00:32,520 --> 02:00:35,200
Speaker 1: for the playoffs, which it didn't seem like it was

2484
02:00:35,240 --> 02:00:37,640
Speaker 1: out of the question at all from what Sean McDermot

2485
02:00:37,640 --> 02:00:39,480
Speaker 1: said on Thursday. That's hard to argue with the art

2486
02:00:39,560 --> 02:00:41,320
Speaker 1: with the argument just shutting him down and getting ready

2487
02:00:41,360 --> 02:00:44,000
Speaker 1: for the playoff game in another ten days or something,

2488
02:00:44,160 --> 02:00:47,120
Speaker 1: and ten days a long time to get physically better. Definitely,

2489
02:00:47,200 --> 02:00:48,800
Speaker 1: he'll be back in if you want to try and

2490
02:00:48,800 --> 02:00:52,040
Speaker 1: do true NFL true false, All right, NFL true false.

2491
02:00:52,080 --> 02:00:54,560
Speaker 1: Brought to you by Yancy's Fancy New York's artists and Cheese.

2492
02:00:54,920 --> 02:00:58,520
Speaker 1: I got a couple today. So the first one NFL

2493
02:00:58,560 --> 02:01:01,720
Speaker 1: true false. Should that NFL get rid of divisions and

2494
02:01:01,800 --> 02:01:04,560
Speaker 1: just have the best six teams in each conference make

2495
02:01:04,640 --> 02:01:08,000
Speaker 1: the playoffs? True or false? They should get rid of

2496
02:01:08,000 --> 02:01:12,520
Speaker 1: the divisions and just have the best six teams. I

2497
02:01:12,560 --> 02:01:15,800
Speaker 1: went back and forth with this one, and I think

2498
02:01:15,840 --> 02:01:18,800
Speaker 1: you look at the NFC East this year, of course,

2499
02:01:19,520 --> 02:01:22,560
Speaker 1: Eagles eight and seven, Dallas Cowboys seven and eight, New

2500
02:01:22,640 --> 02:01:25,720
Speaker 1: York Giants four and eleven, Washington Redskins three and twelve.

2501
02:01:27,720 --> 02:01:30,040
Speaker 1: I would say the NFC East is kind of a

2502
02:01:30,120 --> 02:01:32,680
Speaker 1: different case this year. With what we've seen from the

2503
02:01:32,720 --> 02:01:37,760
Speaker 1: bottom half. It's not crazy to have a team ranked

2504
02:01:37,800 --> 02:01:40,480
Speaker 1: second with seven wins. I mean, if you look at

2505
02:01:40,560 --> 02:01:43,600
Speaker 1: the NFL, the Tampa Bay Bucks are second in the

2506
02:01:43,680 --> 02:01:49,160
Speaker 1: NFC South with seven wins. AFC West Raiders are second

2507
02:01:49,160 --> 02:01:55,160
Speaker 1: with seven wins. So I say, I say false. I

2508
02:01:55,200 --> 02:01:57,440
Speaker 1: think it'd be false because here's the thing, so many,

2509
02:01:58,040 --> 02:02:00,480
Speaker 1: so much of the way the schedules put together has

2510
02:02:00,520 --> 02:02:02,800
Speaker 1: to do with divisions, Like, your your division is playing

2511
02:02:02,800 --> 02:02:06,080
Speaker 1: another division this season? Well, what if there's no divisions?

2512
02:02:06,080 --> 02:02:08,320
Speaker 1: How to decide and the number one team in the

2513
02:02:08,320 --> 02:02:11,160
Speaker 1: conference from a year ago would play the hardest schedule?

2514
02:02:11,880 --> 02:02:14,640
Speaker 1: Well they if if that was the case, then wouldn't

2515
02:02:14,640 --> 02:02:17,240
Speaker 1: those teams kind of recycle every year kind of? And

2516
02:02:17,320 --> 02:02:21,120
Speaker 1: the bottom half of this schedule, the bottom half of

2517
02:02:21,160 --> 02:02:23,320
Speaker 1: the conference plays, you know, the upper half or the

2518
02:02:23,640 --> 02:02:26,800
Speaker 1: you know, how do you get the schedules set by

2519
02:02:26,800 --> 02:02:28,720
Speaker 1: who you're gonna play, where you're gonna play, and who's

2520
02:02:28,760 --> 02:02:31,240
Speaker 1: the home field, who's the who's the who's the home team,

2521
02:02:31,240 --> 02:02:34,360
Speaker 1: who's the road team. Uh, the scheduling would become even

2522
02:02:34,400 --> 02:02:36,600
Speaker 1: more of a nightmare than it already is. I think

2523
02:02:36,920 --> 02:02:41,120
Speaker 1: because the divisions kind of help you group teams so

2524
02:02:41,160 --> 02:02:43,640
Speaker 1: that you can kind of lay out who your team's

2525
02:02:43,920 --> 02:02:45,400
Speaker 1: your schedule is going to be. I think it would

2526
02:02:45,400 --> 02:02:48,680
Speaker 1: make a real difficult thing to schedule, not impossible. I

2527
02:02:48,800 --> 02:02:52,919
Speaker 1: like the idea, but because of the way the divisions

2528
02:02:52,920 --> 02:02:55,480
Speaker 1: are ruled are laid out. I mean that's why you know,

2529
02:02:55,560 --> 02:02:58,000
Speaker 1: some people here the first half of the season, two

2530
02:02:58,040 --> 02:02:59,920
Speaker 1: thirds of the season, people are saying, well, Buffalo and

2531
02:03:00,000 --> 02:03:02,400
Speaker 1: New England and playing makes We had a very easy

2532
02:03:02,440 --> 02:03:08,240
Speaker 1: schedule the UH the AFC North with Cleveland, Cincinnati and

2533
02:03:08,680 --> 02:03:13,120
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Cleveland, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Baltimore. And then of course with

2534
02:03:13,200 --> 02:03:17,520
Speaker 1: the NFC East, we played Dallas Washington and the Giants

2535
02:03:17,520 --> 02:03:19,320
Speaker 1: and the Eagles, and we went three and one in

2536
02:03:19,360 --> 02:03:23,320
Speaker 1: that division. So it's it's hard to get your mind

2537
02:03:23,320 --> 02:03:25,520
Speaker 1: around what it would look like without divisions to help

2538
02:03:25,520 --> 02:03:27,680
Speaker 1: you set the schedule about who you're gonna play. They

2539
02:03:27,720 --> 02:03:30,280
Speaker 1: know the schedules years down the line. They just don't

2540
02:03:30,280 --> 02:03:32,040
Speaker 1: know the home and home and away and who the

2541
02:03:32,920 --> 02:03:38,280
Speaker 1: you know er exactly which which order and which one

2542
02:03:38,320 --> 02:03:39,560
Speaker 1: you're not going to play, that kind of thing. And

2543
02:03:39,920 --> 02:03:43,160
Speaker 1: so I would say I'm okay with I don't know

2544
02:03:43,200 --> 02:03:45,320
Speaker 1: what it's gonna look like. How they going to schedule

2545
02:03:45,360 --> 02:03:47,880
Speaker 1: that the next year? You know, all right, I'll just

2546
02:03:47,920 --> 02:03:53,480
Speaker 1: say false. You say okay false NFL true false. Number

2547
02:03:53,480 --> 02:03:55,560
Speaker 1: two Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas is having the most

2548
02:03:55,600 --> 02:04:01,600
Speaker 1: impressive season season for a wide receiver ever, ever, ever, ever.

2549
02:04:01,880 --> 02:04:05,160
Speaker 1: He was one hundred forty five catches, the single season

2550
02:04:05,200 --> 02:04:08,480
Speaker 1: reception record in two thousand and three, was one forty three.

2551
02:04:08,920 --> 02:04:14,040
Speaker 1: Marvin Harrison had that Thomas right now has. He's averaging

2552
02:04:14,080 --> 02:04:16,960
Speaker 1: one hundred and twelve and a half receiving yards a game,

2553
02:04:17,040 --> 02:04:21,360
Speaker 1: has nine touchdowns, one thousand, six hundred eighty eight receiving yards,

2554
02:04:21,440 --> 02:04:25,400
Speaker 1: and to put his one hundred forty five catches in perspective,

2555
02:04:25,880 --> 02:04:30,960
Speaker 1: the number two for catches, Christian McCaffrey has the second

2556
02:04:31,000 --> 02:04:34,600
Speaker 1: most with one hundred and nine receptions. DeAndre Hopkins is

2557
02:04:34,640 --> 02:04:39,000
Speaker 1: third on that list with one hundred and four receptions.

2558
02:04:39,000 --> 02:04:43,880
Speaker 1: Thomas is catching eighty two point four percent of his targets.

2559
02:04:43,880 --> 02:04:48,320
Speaker 1: Targets pretty good. Yeah, he's really good. Yeah. I mean

2560
02:04:48,600 --> 02:04:50,480
Speaker 1: we said it earlier in the show, Drew Brees doesn't

2561
02:04:50,560 --> 02:04:53,480
Speaker 1: hurt things, but he also did it when Teddy Bridgewater

2562
02:04:53,520 --> 02:04:55,200
Speaker 1: had to take over for Drew Brees because of the

2563
02:04:55,200 --> 02:04:59,800
Speaker 1: thumb surgery. Yeah, I think he's having the absolute most

2564
02:05:00,040 --> 02:05:03,280
Speaker 1: dominant years of receiver now. Certainly that the yardage that

2565
02:05:04,440 --> 02:05:09,080
Speaker 1: Calvin Johnson put up in in UH Detroit, he had

2566
02:05:09,080 --> 02:05:12,360
Speaker 1: like eighteen hundred yards almost trying almost nineteen almost almost

2567
02:05:12,400 --> 02:05:15,280
Speaker 1: two thousand yards receiving. That's a monster of a year.

2568
02:05:15,320 --> 02:05:17,280
Speaker 1: But he didn't have one hundred and forty five catches,

2569
02:05:17,680 --> 02:05:20,040
Speaker 1: and the league is different now as well. But I

2570
02:05:20,080 --> 02:05:23,720
Speaker 1: think the dependability and the and the just absolute consistency

2571
02:05:23,760 --> 02:05:26,960
Speaker 1: weekend week out, they're facing teams that their job number

2572
02:05:26,960 --> 02:05:29,280
Speaker 1: one is to take Michael Thomas off the table, and

2573
02:05:29,320 --> 02:05:31,960
Speaker 1: they cannot get it. He's continuing to catch the ball. Say,

2574
02:05:32,080 --> 02:05:35,080
Speaker 1: I say, true, that's it's really the most deppressive performances

2575
02:05:35,120 --> 02:05:38,640
Speaker 1: you'll ever see from a wide receiver. Yeah, true, true true.

2576
02:05:38,920 --> 02:05:41,920
Speaker 1: All right, well there you go. That's yes, that's NFL

2577
02:05:41,960 --> 02:05:44,040
Speaker 1: true false. Brought to you by Yancy's Fanacy, New York's

2578
02:05:44,120 --> 02:05:46,200
Speaker 1: artist and Cheese. Got a lot of stuff coming up.

2579
02:05:46,360 --> 02:05:49,840
Speaker 1: The coffee. We just had coffee with the Bills Devin Singletary.

2580
02:05:50,280 --> 02:05:53,880
Speaker 1: We also had Greg Cosell on the show, Brooks on

2581
02:05:53,920 --> 02:05:56,720
Speaker 1: the show. We had Lorenzo Alexander on the show. Funky

2582
02:05:56,800 --> 02:06:00,760
Speaker 1: Week And how great is it that Bills fans around

2583
02:06:00,760 --> 02:06:03,040
Speaker 1: the country say, you know what we get, we get

2584
02:06:03,080 --> 02:06:05,080
Speaker 1: to rest. Let's start. I'm gonna start lining out my

2585
02:06:05,160 --> 02:06:07,960
Speaker 1: way to get for that wildcard weekend, to see when

2586
02:06:07,960 --> 02:06:09,560
Speaker 1: we're gonna play, when we're gonna do it. Where what

2587
02:06:09,640 --> 02:06:12,400
Speaker 1: my weeks gonna look like? The Bills have a virtually

2588
02:06:12,480 --> 02:06:14,600
Speaker 1: meaningless game against the Jets to end the season. They're

2589
02:06:14,640 --> 02:06:18,720
Speaker 1: locked into the five seed. We're some pretty Yeah, I

2590
02:06:18,760 --> 02:06:21,240
Speaker 1: like it. It looks like they're headed to Houston, which

2591
02:06:21,760 --> 02:06:25,080
Speaker 1: on paper one loss record, all of that looks like

2592
02:06:25,240 --> 02:06:29,720
Speaker 1: the favorable matchup for Buffalo to go. It's tough to

2593
02:06:29,760 --> 02:06:33,800
Speaker 1: play an Arrowhead. I would rather play in Houston than Arrowhead. Yeah. Well,

2594
02:06:33,840 --> 02:06:35,880
Speaker 1: and the Chiefs are a better team. They're twelve and three,

2595
02:06:35,880 --> 02:06:38,080
Speaker 1: they're a chance to be. Their defense. Over the last

2596
02:06:38,120 --> 02:06:42,000
Speaker 1: four games, Chiefs defense has been allowing seven point eight

2597
02:06:42,040 --> 02:06:46,520
Speaker 1: points per game. That is insane. Yeah. And also the

2598
02:06:46,560 --> 02:06:48,400
Speaker 1: Bills going on the road in the playoffs as a

2599
02:06:48,440 --> 02:06:52,400
Speaker 1: wildcard the AFC conference this year, of the playoff teams Baltimore,

2600
02:06:52,440 --> 02:06:55,440
Speaker 1: New England, Kansas City, Houston, Buffalo, and I put Tennessee

2601
02:06:55,480 --> 02:06:58,080
Speaker 1: in as the sixth seed. Don't know if they'll actually

2602
02:06:58,120 --> 02:07:01,080
Speaker 1: be there, but from right now, those teams are thirty

2603
02:07:01,120 --> 02:07:05,000
Speaker 1: two and twelve on the road. If you take Tennessee

2604
02:07:05,040 --> 02:07:12,200
Speaker 1: out of there, they are twenty five and eight on

2605
02:07:12,240 --> 02:07:14,680
Speaker 1: the road. Twenty five and yeah, twenty five and eight.

2606
02:07:15,840 --> 02:07:20,160
Speaker 1: They are this The teams in their playoffs in the

2607
02:07:20,160 --> 02:07:23,400
Speaker 1: AFC are really good road teams really good roads, including

2608
02:07:23,400 --> 02:07:27,320
Speaker 1: the Bills. Buffalo is one of them. Now it's the end.

2609
02:07:27,320 --> 02:07:29,440
Speaker 1: They're actually Buffalo is better on the road. They were

2610
02:07:29,480 --> 02:07:30,920
Speaker 1: at home this year, the three losses at home, the

2611
02:07:31,280 --> 02:07:33,240
Speaker 1: loss at home, two losses on the road. Yeah, and

2612
02:07:33,680 --> 02:07:36,040
Speaker 1: so it's gonna be fun game to go. And I know,

2613
02:07:36,400 --> 02:07:39,400
Speaker 1: I know some of my friends here around town they're

2614
02:07:39,400 --> 02:07:43,440
Speaker 1: headed to They've already got two. They're counting Bills going

2615
02:07:43,480 --> 02:07:45,520
Speaker 1: to Houston. I don't know what's going to happen if

2616
02:07:45,840 --> 02:07:48,360
Speaker 1: it turns out to be the Chiefs. Yeah, that'll be

2617
02:07:48,600 --> 02:07:51,600
Speaker 1: a stink change of flight. No big deal, right, Yeah

2618
02:07:51,640 --> 02:07:54,600
Speaker 1: for me, I'm sure Bill's mafia will travel to Houston

2619
02:07:54,760 --> 02:07:57,920
Speaker 1: or Kansas City, wherever they go, they will definitely show

2620
02:07:58,000 --> 02:08:01,400
Speaker 1: up because it's the Playoffspace tickets to n I can

2621
02:08:01,440 --> 02:08:03,280
Speaker 1: sure you can get tickets to the Houston game. I

2622
02:08:03,320 --> 02:08:05,200
Speaker 1: think Kansas City might be a tough kN city would

2623
02:08:05,200 --> 02:08:08,680
Speaker 1: be tough, Yeah, that would be tough. Great venues, both

2624
02:08:08,680 --> 02:08:10,080
Speaker 1: of them, great teams. It's gonna be a lot of

2625
02:08:10,080 --> 02:08:11,839
Speaker 1: fun this playoffs. The Bills are back in the playoffs

2626
02:08:11,840 --> 02:08:17,880
Speaker 1: second time in three years. Wow, that's big, that's really big. Yep,

2627
02:08:18,560 --> 02:08:20,840
Speaker 1: to be a team or an organization that kind of

2628
02:08:20,880 --> 02:08:23,040
Speaker 1: has that expectation and then and to pull through and

2629
02:08:23,080 --> 02:08:24,840
Speaker 1: look as good as they did at times this season.

2630
02:08:25,520 --> 02:08:27,200
Speaker 1: And this is one of those things where you kind

2631
02:08:27,200 --> 02:08:29,320
Speaker 1: of hope your team, and you mentioned that the Chiefs

2632
02:08:29,400 --> 02:08:31,800
Speaker 1: defense has kind of got it together where if your

2633
02:08:31,880 --> 02:08:33,960
Speaker 1: offense or one side of your ball that's been lagging

2634
02:08:34,000 --> 02:08:37,760
Speaker 1: in the regular season can catch lightning and catch fire.

2635
02:08:37,880 --> 02:08:40,360
Speaker 1: At this point of the season, you're rolling all the

2636
02:08:40,400 --> 02:08:42,160
Speaker 1: way to the super Bowl and it's only been a

2637
02:08:42,160 --> 02:08:44,400
Speaker 1: few plays here there, and you look you look back

2638
02:08:44,440 --> 02:08:46,240
Speaker 1: to the losses and you look back to the plays

2639
02:08:46,240 --> 02:08:48,840
Speaker 1: that have broken down. It's been it's been small things

2640
02:08:48,880 --> 02:08:50,680
Speaker 1: here and there that have determined the game. And I

2641
02:08:50,720 --> 02:08:53,840
Speaker 1: know this comes down to no matter what team you

2642
02:08:53,880 --> 02:08:57,320
Speaker 1: are with with close losses to good teams, it's decided

2643
02:08:57,360 --> 02:09:01,600
Speaker 1: by a few mistakes here and there. But it's it's

2644
02:09:01,600 --> 02:09:03,680
Speaker 1: also good to see for the Bills that they they

2645
02:09:03,680 --> 02:09:06,280
Speaker 1: haven't gotten blown out. I mean, the Eagles game was

2646
02:09:06,440 --> 02:09:09,840
Speaker 1: the black eye on the loan one. This season, They've

2647
02:09:09,840 --> 02:09:13,640
Speaker 1: played h teams pretty close. They played the Patriots close

2648
02:09:13,720 --> 02:09:16,960
Speaker 1: both games, they played the Ravens close. They limited Lamar

2649
02:09:17,560 --> 02:09:21,200
Speaker 1: in a way that no other NFL team has they held.

2650
02:09:21,840 --> 02:09:25,000
Speaker 1: There's a cool stet. They held, Um, the Patriots and

2651
02:09:25,040 --> 02:09:28,040
Speaker 1: the Ravens two in the three times they played those teams.

2652
02:09:28,040 --> 02:09:31,840
Speaker 1: So Patriots twice, Ravens once to twenty point three points

2653
02:09:31,880 --> 02:09:34,560
Speaker 1: per game and all three games. Yeah, over those three games,

2654
02:09:34,560 --> 02:09:38,000
Speaker 1: and all other opponents against those two teams have allowed

2655
02:09:38,280 --> 02:09:41,840
Speaker 1: in the thirties. Yea. So yeah, the Bills held thirty

2656
02:09:42,040 --> 02:09:45,960
Speaker 1: three percent lower than their points about average, points scored average. Yeah,

2657
02:09:46,000 --> 02:09:47,720
Speaker 1: it's gonna be good. It's gonna be fun. We're gonna

2658
02:09:47,760 --> 02:09:49,680
Speaker 1: wind it up this, We're gonna take a break. We'll

2659
02:09:49,720 --> 02:09:51,480
Speaker 1: be right back and fish up her here till three o'clock.

2662
02:09:57,480 --> 02:10:13,600
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills Radio. What have we learned? Brought to you

2663
02:10:13,640 --> 02:10:17,480
Speaker 1: by Skyworks. Skyworks, the official construction equipment rental company of

2664
02:10:17,560 --> 02:10:21,960
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. Executive producer at ESPN and NFL Matchup,

2665
02:10:22,600 --> 02:10:24,760
Speaker 1: Greg Cosell. He came on and talked to us about

2666
02:10:24,800 --> 02:10:27,240
Speaker 1: what the offense needs to do for the Buffalo Bills

2667
02:10:27,240 --> 02:10:29,360
Speaker 1: in order to carry them through the playoffs. And here's

2668
02:10:29,400 --> 02:10:33,400
Speaker 1: what Greg Cosell had to say. The key to me,

2669
02:10:33,520 --> 02:10:37,560
Speaker 1: Steve is the ability to make the routine throws. That's

2670
02:10:37,560 --> 02:10:41,080
Speaker 1: where Josh sometimes has a tough time. They have a

2671
02:10:41,120 --> 02:10:44,240
Speaker 1: back in Singletary who does have some explosiveness to him.

2672
02:10:44,600 --> 02:10:46,440
Speaker 1: You know, I think they have a receiver in Brown

2673
02:10:46,480 --> 02:10:49,680
Speaker 1: who can get over the top of the defense. I

2674
02:10:49,800 --> 02:10:51,840
Speaker 1: really like Dawson Knox. I know he's a rookie. I

2675
02:10:51,840 --> 02:10:54,560
Speaker 1: don't know if he's ready to be a big part

2676
02:10:54,560 --> 02:10:56,960
Speaker 1: of an offense in a playoff run as a rookie,

2677
02:10:57,000 --> 02:10:59,040
Speaker 1: but I think he's going to be a very good player,

2678
02:10:59,400 --> 02:11:04,800
Speaker 1: very But their offense ultimately needs Josh to be more

2679
02:11:04,840 --> 02:11:09,400
Speaker 1: consistent on what we would call routine type throws. Greg

2680
02:11:09,440 --> 02:11:12,200
Speaker 1: co Sell, Executive producer, NFL Films. Also we had a

2681
02:11:12,280 --> 02:11:15,200
Speaker 1: mod brooks on, a former National Football League player, former

2682
02:11:15,200 --> 02:11:18,920
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill He is a current broadcaster for ESPN Universe,

2683
02:11:19,360 --> 02:11:23,000
Speaker 1: ESPN You, and he had some thoughts about what it

2684
02:11:23,040 --> 02:11:25,040
Speaker 1: takes to be a good cornerback of the position he

2685
02:11:25,080 --> 02:11:26,840
Speaker 1: played in the National Football League and some of his

2686
02:11:26,920 --> 02:11:29,880
Speaker 1: thoughts about the Bills number one cornerback t Davious White.

2687
02:11:29,920 --> 02:11:32,480
Speaker 1: Here's what a mod Brooks had to say, he's balanced,

2688
02:11:32,520 --> 02:11:36,160
Speaker 1: he's aware, and great cover guys. Normally they have that

2689
02:11:36,160 --> 02:11:38,120
Speaker 1: competitive edge when you look back over time at some

2690
02:11:38,200 --> 02:11:40,080
Speaker 1: of the great corners. But the second part of that

2691
02:11:40,240 --> 02:11:43,760
Speaker 1: is the awareness right when to take that risk. You

2692
02:11:43,840 --> 02:11:46,080
Speaker 1: still have to play within the defense, but when you

2693
02:11:46,120 --> 02:11:50,560
Speaker 1: take those calculated risks that turn into takeaways, now you're

2694
02:11:50,600 --> 02:11:54,520
Speaker 1: an elite, lockdown, shutdown corner and he's shown that. I

2695
02:11:54,560 --> 02:11:56,800
Speaker 1: like what I'm seeing from this young guy. I love

2696
02:11:56,880 --> 02:12:00,440
Speaker 1: his swag and his moxie. He's physical at the line

2697
02:12:00,440 --> 02:12:02,440
Speaker 1: of scrimmage. He gets his hands on wide receivers and

2698
02:12:02,520 --> 02:12:06,200
Speaker 1: prevents their timing and the rhythm of a route t

2699
02:12:06,280 --> 02:12:09,120
Speaker 1: even from even getting started. I think this kid is legit,

2700
02:12:09,160 --> 02:12:11,240
Speaker 1: and I think this won't be this first this is

2701
02:12:11,280 --> 02:12:12,560
Speaker 1: first year in the Pro Bowl, but it won't be

2702
02:12:12,560 --> 02:12:15,040
Speaker 1: his last. That's what have we learned. Brought to you

2703

Speaker 1: by the official construction equipment rental company of the Buffalo Bills,

2704
02:12:18,160 --> 02:12:21,520
Speaker 1: that is Skyworks and Mattie. What a lot of guests

2705
02:12:21,520 --> 02:12:24,200
Speaker 1: on the show. Lorenzo, he had demons, we had Greg, Yeah,

2706
02:12:24,280 --> 02:12:28,800
Speaker 1: Greg Cosell here. Finally, let's all right, what do you think?

2707
02:12:28,840 --> 02:12:30,320
Speaker 1: What are your expectations. How do you think this game

2708
02:12:30,400 --> 02:12:32,160
Speaker 1: is going to turn out. You can predict, and I'll predict.

2709
02:12:32,840 --> 02:12:36,280
Speaker 1: I expect the Bills to win. I want to see

2710
02:12:36,280 --> 02:12:38,200
Speaker 1: them win this one. I don't think it's going to

2711
02:12:38,240 --> 02:12:41,600
Speaker 1: be a seventeen to sixteen game. I think this game

2712
02:12:41,640 --> 02:12:45,040
Speaker 1: they win by a touchdown, and they win with the

2713
02:12:45,160 --> 02:12:48,400
Speaker 1: non starters. The starters play a quarter or two and

2714
02:12:48,440 --> 02:12:51,120
Speaker 1: then you put the second string, third string guys in.

2715
02:12:51,320 --> 02:12:53,480
Speaker 1: I think this is gonna be a little higher scoring

2716
02:12:53,520 --> 02:12:55,040
Speaker 1: game than normal. I think it's going to be a

2717
02:12:55,080 --> 02:13:01,000
Speaker 1: game probably, no, not too much. I'm gonna I'm gonna

2718
02:13:01,000 --> 02:13:02,200
Speaker 1: call it what I thought in my gut feeling. I

2719
02:13:02,240 --> 02:13:04,480
Speaker 1: think it's twenty ten Bills playing ten. The Bills will

2720
02:13:04,480 --> 02:13:06,320
Speaker 1: go twenty ten. I don't think that. I think this

2721
02:13:06,440 --> 02:13:08,560
Speaker 1: defense will still show up. I think they're gonna elevate

2722
02:13:08,560 --> 02:13:10,520
Speaker 1: their play. The guys who are gonna play. I think

2723
02:13:10,520 --> 02:13:12,480
Speaker 1: the starters are the guys that this whole team. You're

2724
02:13:12,520 --> 02:13:14,200
Speaker 1: gonna see it on the sideline. You're gonna be excited

2725
02:13:14,240 --> 02:13:16,160
Speaker 1: for each other to play and play well. I think

2726
02:13:16,160 --> 02:13:17,600
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a good Bills win, and I think

2727
02:13:17,640 --> 02:13:19,960
Speaker 1: it's a culture win. Yeah, if they get get a win,

2728
02:13:20,120 --> 02:13:22,280
Speaker 1: they get two eleven wins for the first time since

2729
02:13:22,400 --> 02:13:27,120
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety nine. That's big, that's big, right, Yeah, let's

2730
02:13:27,120 --> 02:13:29,720
Speaker 1: do it. Yeah, all right, well there you go. That's there.

2731
02:13:29,720 --> 02:13:32,680
