Speaker 2: yesterday was.

38
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:31,119
Speaker 1: Probably the beef Wellington for Christmas dinner. Yeah it was nice.

39
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: It's what you don't know what it is. It's a

40
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: filet mignon wrapped in pastry, and yeah, it's right on point.

41
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 1: It was very good. What what about you?

42
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 2: What we had?

43
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: You asked for a reason?

44
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 2: No, No, I was genuinely curious. I mean, you and

45
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 2: I enjoy food thoroughly, so I figured I would ask, uh, yeah,

46
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 2: we I would say the best thing I ate yesterday

47
00:02:53,840 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 2: was this beef tenderloin that we had seasoned basically seasoning, salt,

48
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 2: lemon pepper seasoning, and then just some ground pepper corn

49
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 2: on it as well, fresh ground pepper corn. And then

50
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 2: my wife is like, nah, there's not enough there. And

51
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 2: she's very much a non measurer. She is very much

52
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 2: just totally by feel and it always works, so I

53
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 2: can't knock her for it. I measure stuff out like

54
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 2: I don't mess around. She's like, that needs something else.

55
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 2: I was like, what are you worried it's not seasoned enough?

56
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 2: She knows, no, it doesn't look nice enough. So she

57
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 2: doesn't look nice enough. She goes into the spice rack,

58
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 2: pulls out a thing parsley and just starts covering it

59
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 2: with parsley and stuff. I was like, is that gonna

60
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 2: It'll be fine. You're gonna love it. So the only

61
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 2: thing that was a little awry was the recipe said,

62
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 2: first of all, you pansy her the beef tenderloin both

63
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 2: sides for like a minute or two in olive oil, right,

64
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 2: and then you then you put it on the rack

65
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 2: and into the oven.

66
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: It goes and you roast it, yeah, you crisp it

67
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: up a little bit. Yeah.

68
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 2: So that we did that really well. And then it

69
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 2: says put it in the oven for twenty minutes. And

70
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 2: I'm looking at this beef tenderline. I mean it's huge,

71
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:18,359
Speaker 2: it's big.

72
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 1: I was just like, preheated oven four seventy five.

73
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it. So I was like, all right, well,

74
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 2: we're almost near broil. You feel twenty minutes, should do that?

75
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 2: Okay if they say so. I opened the oven. I

76
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 2: put the meat thermometer in. It's eighty degrees in the middle.

77
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 2: I was like, she ain't done. Back in the oven.

78
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 2: I said, let's give it another ten to fifteen. Pull

79
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 2: it out again. The core is at ninety. I was like,

80
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 2: back in the oven. So I put it in for

81
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 2: like another ten. I pulled it out and at this point,

82
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 2: I'm not doing meat thermometer anymore. I'm not taking chances.

83
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 2: So I cut open the middle and it is I mean,

84
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 2: it's still mooing raw. Yeah, So I was like, so

85
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 2: then I cut it in half, put the two sides

86
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 2: next to each other, put it in for another fifteen

87
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 2: and that did it. So it pretty much took like

88
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 2: forty five to fifty minutes, not twenty at four seventy five,

89
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 2: like that's hot of it. But oh man, did I

90
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 2: get it perfect?

91
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,679
Speaker 1: Yeah? Oh and you hit it and nailed it so good.

92
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 2: Yeah. It was just a little pink in the middle.

93
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,279
Speaker 1: Of a lot of people like it, a little more

94
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: rare than others. But yeah, and it does continue to

95
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: cook after you take it out of there, you know,

96
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: so you got to give it a five minute thing

97
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 1: when you get it out. But yeah, so good.

98
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 3: That was.

99
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 2: That was and that went because we had that, We

00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 1: so Yeah, he was, Uh, he'll be back.

159
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 3: That's that's nice.

160
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's cool. He's one of the more well,

161
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,079
Speaker 2: you know, I mean, outside of Fred and Stevie Johnson

162
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 2: and Ryan Fitzpatrick. I would say he's probably one of they,

163
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 2: or yeah, Kyle Williams, you know, Aaron Shobel. He's probably

164
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 2: one of the more well known drought era players, I

165
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,439
Speaker 2: would say, and was certainly an exciting player to watch

166
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 2: for sure. As a matter of fact, on Christmas Eve

167
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 2: against the Cincinnati Bengals in two thousand and four, he

168
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 2: had an interception return for a touchdown and then a

169
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 2: return on special teams for a touchdown the same game,

170
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 2: so that that was the anniversary of that was twenty

171
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 2: years ago yesterday, so that was kind of cool. We

172
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 2: got to get to Bill's practice updates, which are presented

173
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 2: by leecom your Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine. First,

174
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 2: the good news, Okay, the good news is Rasoul Douglas

175
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 2: is back to a full participant in practice, as well

176
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 2: as Dorian Williams. So as we know, Raseul Douglas has

177
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 2: missed the last two games of the knee injury. Back

178
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 2: to a full participation in practice, so he's certainly trending

179
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 2: towards a return to the lineup this week. Dorian Williams

180
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 2: has been dealing with that elbow injury. He you know,

181
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 2: strapped it up and played probably even more than he

182
00:09:56,320 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 2: anticipated last Sunday after Specter went down with the caffe engine.

183
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 2: They were splitting time last week in the absence of

184
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 2: Matt Milano. So he's back to a full participant, and

185
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 2: I'll explain why I think that's important. Matt Mulano, demorw Hamlin,

186
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 2: Taylor Rap, Curtis Samuel, who all missed last week's game,

187
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 2: limited in practice yesterday. We'll see if their designations change today.

188
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,200
Speaker 2: And then a new safety was added to the injury

189
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 2: list yesterday. Cam lewis limited with a shoulder injury. So

190
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 2: the safety position continues to get battered, right, But I

191
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 2: think we'll see what happens this week and whether some

192
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 2: of these guys practice participation changes today. Hopefully it does

193
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 2: for the better because outdoors, well, that's right, So we'll

194
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 2: wait on the Thursday practice report. Hopefully it's released prior

195
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 2: to the time we're off the air, so we can

196
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 2: update you accordingly. But once the media viewing portion of

197
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 2: practice is closed, we'll get our eyes and ears that

198
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 2: are out out there to report back to us and

199
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:06,439
Speaker 2: let us know the who's participating and who might be sidelined.

200
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 2: Although everybody's been practicing, so I don't anticipate, barring an

201
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 2: injury today, for there to be any non participants.

202
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: Like you said, there were like five guys limited yesterday,

203
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: yeah and sometime. Yeah. So nice to know thebody's out

204
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 1: there in some capacity, and nice.

205
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,200
Speaker 2: To know the rasoul is trending back towards returning to

206
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 2: the lineup. And Dorian Williams being a full participant is

207
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 2: big too, because what did we see last week, Steve?

208
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 2: We saw a little base defense, so you would hope

209
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 2: Milano can get back, and if he can, well, then

210
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 2: Dorian Williams can be you know, your third linebacker in

211
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 2: base defense, which we saw a little bit last week.

212
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 2: You know, every time the Patriots went heavy personnel, Bill's

213
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 2: countered with base defense, which they did a little bit

214
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 2: against the Lions.

215
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 1: And I wonder if all of those, both the Lions

216
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: and the Patriot game were a result. You know, we're

217
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 1: a response to the injuries. You'd kind of like think

218
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,199
Speaker 1: that maybe something in there, but maybe.

219
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 2: I think they believe getting an extra linebacker on when

220
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 2: the other team's going thirteen personnel or even jumbo, you know,

221
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 2: take a little of the sting off of Taron Johnson

222
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 2: taking all those hits and get a linebacker out there.

223
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 1: And I would think too it almost if for a

224
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: team like the Bills, you'd think that. Certainly Detroit and

225
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: maybe the Patriots would take that as an invitation to

226
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 1: throw it instead of running.

227
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 2: Well, they did when they put bail In Spector on

228
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 2: the field last week, right, because you didn't have Milano,

229
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 2: so it was Williams Bernard and Spector, and as soon

230
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 2: as they saw Inspector, they threw at him.

231
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 1: That's right, that's right.

232
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 2: Spector's on ir now.

233
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: So Milaa's back to practicing. Though we'll see how Many's

234
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 1: groin injury probably getting better, we'll see it. But I

235
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 1: think all of this stuff at the end of the year,

236
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 1: this most of this is responding. Plus it's with the

237
00:12:56,360 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 1: Patriots game at least, it's probably changing the analytics for

238
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 1: their defensive numbers. So they play and what that means

239
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 1: is when teams look at the numbers, they say, well,

240
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 1: they play base defense this amount and now they're playing

241
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 1: at this amount, and it causes them to prepare differently,

242
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 1: causes them to consider to other things more than they should,

243
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 1: and it creates some uncertainty in the preparation for your opponents,

244
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 1: whoever it may be. So, you know, the Jets are

245
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 1: looking at the Bills going, Okay, how much base are

246
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 1: we going to see if these guys get healthy?

247
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 4: Yeah?

248
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: Or if we go heavy or if we go heavy yeah?

249
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 1: So and are they gonna go base with Milano if

250
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,199
Speaker 1: he's healthy, that kind of stuff. So it's that's the

251
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 1: probably get some benefit out of that as well.

252
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 2: Coming down the stretch, Let's go around the NFL presented

253
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 2: by Kalida Healthy, official healthcare system of the Buffalo Bills.

254
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 2: Christmas Day Football, The Chiefs locked up the top seed

255
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 2: in the AFC playoffs with their fourteenth win of the

256
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 2: season in a twenty nine to ten throttling of the Steelers,

257
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 2: who are proving to be less of a true contender

258
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 2: than many thought just three weeks ago. Now, they did

259
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 2: go into this game shorthanded. They're missing their top two corners.

260
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 2: Joey Porter did not play again, so they had like

261
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 2: Cameron Sutton and Corey Trice out there Xavier Worthy now

262
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 2: has nine touchdowns in his rookie season. With Rashi Rice

263
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 2: on ir, Hollywood Brown Only now returning to the offense,

264
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 2: Travis Kelsey having a down season by his standards, and

265
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 2: Isaiah Pacheco on the shelf for half the season, Worthy

266
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 2: is now the focal point of that offense out of necessity.

267
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 2: He leads the team with six receiving touchdowns and leads

268
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 2: the team with nine total touchdowns. And he's closely followed

269
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 2: by another player who has provided more production for that

270
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 2: offense in Noah Gray, the number two tight end, who

271
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 2: now has five receiving touchdowns. So they've morphed and changed

272
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 2: out of necessity and now they have these younger players

273
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 2: providing more production.

274
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 1: When the Bills played the Chiefs here in Orchard Park,

275
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 1: remember Worthy was a huge part of it. Early in

276
00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 1: the early going of that game. You know, people, you know,

277
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 1: the critics will say, yeah, they did that because they

278
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 1: traded up to get him. They wanted to showcase him

279
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 1: against Bills because you know, well not so much. Uh

280
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 1: where they need him. They need Worthy, and he's showing

281
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 1: up for him.

282
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 2: I mean, it's similar to the transformation we saw from

283
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 2: Rashid Rice last year.

284
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 1: As it's right, that's right. You give him some time.

285
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 1: And they developed play They developed guys Mahomes, Andy Reid, Kelsey,

286
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 1: those guys. They developed players just like the Bills do.

287
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 2: It's just that's why it's just hard to you kind

288
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 2: of get frustrated because had Keon Coleman not missed three

289
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 2: games in a month, right, you wonder where he would

290
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 2: be now because he was just starting to catch fires, all.

291
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: Right though, you got a couple of games here, get

292
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 1: him on the field, let him play. I'm I'm okay

293
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 1: with it.

294
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, it just stinks.

295
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 1: It stinks for him.

296
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I mean.

297
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 1: Now, if he can, if he steps into places and

298
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 1: takes picks up where he left off, that's pretty good.

299
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 1: Because he left off he was really he was starting to.

300
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 2: Five yards and a touchdown and own Seattle.

301
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 1: Right, so he was getting some traction and playing physical,

302
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 1: playing just exactly the way the Bills wanted him to play.

303
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 2: And then he gets cracked in the Miami game.

304
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 1: Right then, he got his wrist hit across his body

305
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 1: in the Miami game, and he's been out since or

306
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 1: been struggling since.

307
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 2: So then he came back against Detroit had the big play,

308
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 2: you know, sixty four yarder and he had one catch

309
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 2: last week, so I hope he can do a little

310
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 2: bit more going forward here against his feet.

311
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: The Bill's offense is not I'm not trying to be sarcastica,

312
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 1: and the Bills offense is not the Chiefs offense. The

313
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: Bill's offense spread it around. They don't have a Travis

314
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 1: Kelsey at all. And you know, they got guys they

315
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 1: can throw it two out of the back that They've got,

316
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 1: two backs that are great catchers, two tight ends that

317
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,119
Speaker 1: are great catchers of the football, three or four wideouts

318
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 1: that Josh Allen has used as the bulk of their

319
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 1: passing game in one game or another. So they've all

320
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 1: shown up at different times. So it's a different use

321
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 1: and distribution of labor, as Mike Tomlin puts it. They

322
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 1: it's different for the Bills than it is for a

323
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 1: team like the Chiefs.

324
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:05,440
Speaker 2: Steelers had two turnovers and the Chiefs got seven points

325
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 2: off turnovers. The stat that didn't make sense. Chiefs went

326
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 2: three for ten on third down while Pittsburgh was eight

327
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 2: for sixteen. But then the difference was the Chiefs for

328
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 2: four for five in the red zone. Steelers, as has

329
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 2: been their problem all along red zone offense, they went

330
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 2: one for four in the red zone. Meanwhile, in the

331
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,879
Speaker 2: late game, the Ravens ran rough shot over the Texans,

332
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 2: who apparently had too much eggnog on Christmas Eve. They

333
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 2: were shut out on offense and managed just two points

334
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,640
Speaker 2: thanks to a safety on Derrick Henry in the end zone.

335
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 2: Henry did rumble for one hundred and forty seven yards

336
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 2: and a touchdown, averaged almost five and a half yards

337
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:45,880
Speaker 2: of carry against the Houston defense that had been near

338
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 2: or in the top ten in run defense all season.

339
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 2: They are missing Al Shayir who's serving a three game suspension,

340
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 2: and he's kind of their emotional leader on defense, and

341
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 2: they were lacking a lot, including a motion against the Ravens,

342
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 2: who looked like they were playing backyard football against this team,

343
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:06,880
Speaker 2: and they had no answers. Lamar Jackson had just fifteen

344
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 2: pass attempts through for one hundred and sixty eight yards

345
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:13,120
Speaker 2: and two touchdowns, ran for another, becoming the all time

346
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 2: leader in rushing yards by a quarterback, passing Michael Vick,

347
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,440
Speaker 2: thanks in large part to a forty eight yard touchdown run.

348
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 2: Ravens three for three in the red zone. Texans, oh

349
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:22,920
Speaker 2: for two.

350
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, they I kind of figured this about the Texans.

351
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 1: I have never I have never feared the Texans, even

352
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 1: when they beat the Bills with a sixty one yarder

353
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 1: at the Buzzer. I just the Bills did not play

354
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 1: well that day and the Texans seemed like they played

355
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 1: over their heads and beat him by three. I just

356
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 1: did not believe that Texans were that good a football team,

357
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:54,160
Speaker 1: even after having a nice game against Buffalo, and yesterday

358
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:55,239
Speaker 1: was further proof of that.

359
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 3: I'm just.

360
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 1: The AFC is about Kansas City, Baltimore, and Buffalo. The

361
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 1: entire conference is about those top three seeds. Everybody else

362
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 1: is an also ran. The Pittsburgh Steelers have Dell.

363
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:12,639
Speaker 2: We thought they would fade. They had a tough schedule

364
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 2: down the stretch, and I didn't think they were gonna

365
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 2: be able to measure up in there.

366
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 1: That's right, And it's it's Buffalo, Kansas City, and Baltimore

367
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 1: in the AFC, and to me, it's Detroit and Philly

368
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:29,399
Speaker 1: in the NFC. No Minnesota and Minnesota two. But I

369
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 1: don't have as much fun with the Packer.

370
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:34,399
Speaker 3: I don't think I like the Packers.

371
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 1: I don't think so.

372
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 2: I think they're gonna be tough.

373
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,440
Speaker 1: I don't think so, but anyway, so that's what I see.

374
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 2: So with yesterday's results, the Bills do still have to

375
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 2: win on Sunday against the Jets to clinch the two seed.

376
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,360
Speaker 2: If they get their thirteenth win Sunday, the Ravens cannot

377
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 2: catch them in overall record because there'll only be one

378
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:56,439
Speaker 2: game to play. Some other quick notes here before we

379
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 2: get to our topic of discussion. Jalen Hurts remains in

380
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:02,119
Speaker 2: concussion protocol, didn't practice Wednesday, and because of that and

381
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:05,400
Speaker 2: the fact that backup Kenny Pickett was limited in practice yesterday,

382
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 2: the Eagles are signing quarterback Ian Book to the practice

383
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 2: squad following his visit to Philly yesterday. Tanner, McKee and

384
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 2: Book now QB three and four. The Eagles host Dallas

385
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 2: this week. High school state championship winning coach in NFL

386
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 2: QB Teddy Bridgewater, coming out of retirement, expected to sign

387
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:27,439
Speaker 2: with the Lions, according to NFL Network, to serve as

388
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 2: a backup quarterback. There. So, those are kind of your

389
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 2: news and notes around the NFL, presented by Kalida Health.

390
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 2: Topic of discussion for you today concerns the Bills and

391
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,919
Speaker 2: that number two seed. And the question is simple, is

392
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 2: the number two seed for the Bills worth the risk

393
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 2: and gunning for this Sunday against the Jets? Yes or no?

394
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 2: Tell us why eighth three, five fifty one eight eight

395
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 2: eight five fifty two five fifteen the number to get

396
00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 2: on board. If you don't have time to give us

397
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:00,440
Speaker 2: a call, you can hit us up on the She'd

398
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:04,440
Speaker 2: had one Bill's Live. Steve, what say you about gunning

399
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:06,160
Speaker 2: for the two seed on Sunday?

400
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you need to get it just on

401
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 1: the outside chance that Kansas City stumbles and is put

402
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 1: out of the playoffs, everything else comes through Buffalo, then

403
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 1: you're the one seed, and that's I guess it's worth it.

404
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,680
Speaker 1: And I also think that the games you have left

405
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 1: against the Jets and the Patriots are obviously winnable games

406
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 1: and all you need is one of them. So I

407
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 1: would really put my foot on the gas against the

408
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 1: Jets and then have a you know, a finger quotes

409
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:45,360
Speaker 1: bye week against the Patriots and weekend. I don't even

410
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:47,399
Speaker 1: care if you just win one of them, get the

411
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 1: two seed, and then you can lay down for the

412
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 1: other one.

413
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 2: I mean in an ideal scenario. You win this week

414
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 2: and then you can treat Week eighteen like a bye

415
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:55,400
Speaker 2: for a lot of your starters.

416
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 1: That's right, Well, you can't. You can't only do it

417
00:21:58,040 --> 00:21:59,679
Speaker 1: so much. You can only do so much because you

418
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,359
Speaker 1: only got forty seven and fifty three guys on the roster.

419
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:06,680
Speaker 1: So you can deactivate Josh, deactivate offensive linemen, deactivate wide Rei.

420
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:09,120
Speaker 1: But you know that's it's only seven of them. Yeah,

421
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 1: and he got twenty two starters, so somebody's got to

422
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 1: show up and play, and so it's it's not the

423
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 1: same as a bye week. But you certainly can ease

424
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 1: the workload on a ton of guys.

425
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 2: Right, Yes, you can scale everything back kind of, just

426
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 2: have guys breathe for a second before they get ready

427
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:34,399
Speaker 2: for the second season. He may it is win or

428
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 2: go home.

429
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 1: You may end up punting ten times in the game,

430
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 1: but it doesn't matter.

431
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 2: The game won't matter if you win Sunday. Week eighteen

432
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 2: in New England doesn't matter. And that's fine because you

433
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:52,360
Speaker 2: earn that by winning thirteen games. You earn the ability

434
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 2: to sit some guys for your seventeenth and final game

435
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 2: of the regular season because you locked up the two

436
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 2: seeds eight oh three five one eighty eight five fifty

437
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:04,679
Speaker 2: two five fifty. The number to get on board is

438
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 2: the two seed? Worth the risk? Yes or no? And

439
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 2: tell us why Uh let's get to the phones at

440
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 2: eight o three oh five fifty. We do have open

441
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,440
Speaker 2: lines for you there. But we lead off today with

442
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 2: Bob in Hamburg. What do you got for his? Bob,

443
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:20,400
Speaker 2: you're on one Bill's Live.

444
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, I know it's very important to get the number

445
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 5: two spot. Second of why aren't we calling him Michael Hyde?

446
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:30,440
Speaker 5: And I got one more question for Steve. Steve, you

447
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:34,680
Speaker 5: made my trophy to this. Sanna brought me an autograph football.

448
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 2: Oh there you go, look at that.

449
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 1: Bob appreciate it?

450
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would. I would say I would not anticipate

451
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:46,879
Speaker 2: seeing Micah Hyde anytime soon. I don't think priority number

452
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:50,120
Speaker 2: one was to get him back on the field, uh

453
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 2: in any capacity. I think he wanted to still be

454
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 2: part of the organization. I think they saw some mentorship

455
00:23:56,080 --> 00:24:00,160
Speaker 2: value for him with people like Cole Bishop, you know,

456
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 2: knowing this defense as intimately as he does. I think

457
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 2: it would have to be a five alarm fire for

458
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 2: Micah Hyde to suit up and one of the main

459
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 2: reasons I feel that way is we have to remember,

460
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 2: this man had neck surgery. That's not nothing right, come

461
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 2: back from that and play football.

462
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:19,159
Speaker 3: So I.

463
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 2: Think that's probably very very low on the priority list

464
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:28,119
Speaker 2: right now. And they have other players available, you know,

465
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 2: like they've called up Kareem Jackson the last two weeks.

466
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 2: We'll see if they have to do that again or

467
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 2: if rap and or Hamlin can get back in to

468
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 2: the lineup.

469
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 1: I'm not saying he would come up before Micah Hyde,

470
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:43,119
Speaker 1: but Lewis Sign, Lewis Scene, you know, Lewis Scene is

471
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 1: on the practice squad, Kareem Jackson's on the practice squad.

472
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:50,160
Speaker 1: Both those guys are safeties. So Micah Hyde is there

473
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,920
Speaker 1: to steady the ship off the field and to give

474
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 1: some mentorship and help film study and get guys' lights

475
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,120
Speaker 1: on so they know what they're looking at. And that's

476
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 1: that's what he's here for. I don't think the plan

477
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 1: is for him to play. I get it though, it'd

478
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 1: be a great story, but I don't think so. I

479
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:10,640
Speaker 1: don't think.

480
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 2: So let's go back to the phones and to Ron

481
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 2: in Pennsylvania. What do you got for us?

482
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 6: Ron, Chris Steve, how you doing I just wanted to

483
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 6: say that I think more important than anything is make

484
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:23,439
Speaker 6: sure we go into playoffs our players are all healthy.

485
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:28,400
Speaker 2: Right, That's that's nice to say. We know football is still,

486
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:32,640
Speaker 2: even in this era of safety, still a barbaric game,

487
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:37,399
Speaker 2: and anybody can get hurt on any play, you know,

488
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 2: but you gotta I think you have to get the

489
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 2: two seed here. Like here, let me give you an example.

490
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 7: Ron.

491
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 2: I know you say you want the players to stay healthy,

492
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:46,399
Speaker 2: So are you insinuating you'd rather just rest these guys

493
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:47,920
Speaker 2: for the next two games as best you.

494
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:51,439
Speaker 6: Could as best you can? But I mean you got

495
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 6: to try for the two seed. That's gonna be good

496
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 6: if we can get it. Yeah, But I think the

497
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 6: main thing is that we go in with all of

498
00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 6: our players healthy. That's going to help you get to

499
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 6: the Yeah.

500
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:02,640
Speaker 2: I get it based on what's happened to the team

501
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:04,679
Speaker 2: the last couple of years, getting beat up and stuff.

502
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:08,440
Speaker 2: The thing that looms for me is the divisional playoff.

503
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:10,119
Speaker 2: And I'm not trying to get too far ahead of

504
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 2: ourselves here, but let's just say the Bills end up

505
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:16,120
Speaker 2: the three seed and Baltimore ends up the two seed.

506
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 2: You win your wild card game, at home and you

507
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 2: got to go to Baltimore and play the Ravens to

508
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 2: then go presumably to Kansas City for the AFC title game.

509
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:27,159
Speaker 2: I don't know if I want to sign up for that.

510
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 2: I'd rather be the two seed and make Baltimore come here.

511
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 2: That's just me, and to me, it's enough to gun

512
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,199
Speaker 2: for the two seed this week and try to get

513
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:38,680
Speaker 2: a victory to make sure that that would happen, which

514
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 2: it would. If you're the two seed, you feel the same,

515
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 2: or you don't want to play Baltimore down there?

516
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 1: No, you need every game here, every game you can

517
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 1: get here, no question about it. It's a lot tougher to

518
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 1: go on the road in the playoffs. You're meeting a

519
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 1: good team with a hostile crowd, and usually a good

520
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 1: team who's playing well. That's a tough recipe. Over.

521
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:03,719
Speaker 2: Now, let's go to James in Buffalo next. What's up, James?

522
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 8: It was going on, guys, Yeah, definitely, I'm I'm for

523
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 8: playing for the two seed as best, even if it

524
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 8: takes the last week of the season. But you got

525
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:17,640
Speaker 8: to play for that because you don't know what's gonna

526
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,400
Speaker 8: happen in the playoffs. Don't worry about the Chiefs, worry

527
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,359
Speaker 8: about yourself, Like you said, you don't want to end

528
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:28,159
Speaker 8: up you know, playing Baltimore and uh Baltimore, like you know,

529
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 8: we gotta win. It's something to play for. Definitely, it's

530
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:34,199
Speaker 8: not insignificant at all. I know the risk of injury

531
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 8: is there, but we basically get a bye week where

532
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 8: we consider everybody if we win this week.

533
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 2: Yep, yeah, right. I think that's what laid out.

534
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 1: I think you can bet this too. I don't think

535
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:52,359
Speaker 1: they will completely lay down against the Patriots. If they

536
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 1: beat the Jets. Josh will take a couple of series.

537
00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 1: Mitch will play, you know, Trubisky will play most of

538
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,439
Speaker 1: the game. You know, you'll get guys that sit down there.

539
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 1: It'll be and I'll say this too, the emotional content

540
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 1: will drive. And you know, the big guys up front

541
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 1: on both sides of the line will will have the

542
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 1: edge off of them. I mean, it's just gonna look

543
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 1: different in that Week eighteen if they if they do,

544
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 1: even if the guys frontline guys do take a couple

545
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 1: of series, it's gonna look very different because it's gonna

546
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 1: be a preseason game. It's gonna look like that. If

547
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 1: if they beat the Jets. If they don't beat the Jets,

548
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 1: you can bet they're gonna turn it up a notch

549
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 1: and go get it. Go get it if they can

550
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 1: in New England, because I think the team believes this

551
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 1: is very important.

552
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 2: And historically, even when they have clinched with no seating

553
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 2: impacting or the outcome of a game not impacting seating,

554
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:55,720
Speaker 2: they have still put their starters out on the field.

555
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 2: To Steve's points sparingly series here series there, there's something

556
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 2: of out the routine and getting ready for a game

557
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 2: that coach McDermott that appeals to Coach McDermott, and he

558
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 2: will put his players through those paces, even if they're

559
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 2: only playing six to eight snaps in the game and

560
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 2: they're sitting the rest of the day. He just wants

561
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 2: them in that mode and routine and not skip a

562
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 2: week in that regard. So that's kind of how he's

563
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 2: approaching in the past. We'll see if that happens again.

564
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 2: But step one is winning in Week seventeen against the Jets.

565
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 2: Got to take a break here. When we come back,

566
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 2: we'll catch up with our good friend Field Yeates ESPN

Speaker 2: a good day with your family Christmas, and it's right

578
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 2: back to the business of helping people with their football

579
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 2: lineups as we have football like almost every day of

580
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 2: the week. This week it's been bananas.

581
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:31,959
Speaker 9: I know, it's been really hard to keep track of

582
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 9: what day of the week it actually is. As a

583
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 9: result of that, usually I'm thinking to myself, there's a

584
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 9: Wednesday game, or there was a game that begins, it

585
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 9: must be Thursday. Well, we had two games yesterday and

586
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 9: obviously another tonight, so three more on Saturday, the usual

587
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 9: slate on Sunday, plus one on Monday night. It's a

588
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 9: good time to be a football fan. Right now, let's

589
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 9: get right into it, because my quarterback this week is

590
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 9: actually playing on Saturday afternoon at Quarterback's Bonix. The Mobroncos

591
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 9: has been really solid this season, priced at seventy six

592
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 9: hundred dollars this week. As you guys know, Cincinnati really

593
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 9: struggling defensively all year.

594
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 10: And I've been impressed with bo in a lot of

595
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 10: ways this year.

596
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 9: I think we all have, but perhaps from a fantasy perspective,

597
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 9: what's been most impressive is that at the beginning of

598
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 9: the season he was thriving off of his rushing value

599
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 9: and not really throwing much or thrown from any touchdowns. Late,

600
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 9: he has totally morphed his game as he has become

601
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 9: much more a pocket passer than he has been a runner.

602
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 9: As a fantasy quarterback, but he has not seen much

603
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 9: of a dip intist production. So a good price here

604
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 9: at a good matchup on Saturday afternoon.

605
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 1: And as you roll down through the running backs, give

606
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 1: us an idea of as I'll tell you this, I

607
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 1: don't really have much knowledge about an Alexander Madison.

608
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 9: Yeah, and Madison who has sort of been in and

609
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 9: out as the Raiders starter of this year, but was

610
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 9: back in last week. He had a fifty seven percent

611
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:49,520
Speaker 9: of the snaps role, He had twelve carries, He had

612
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 9: six targets for Las Vegas. And keep in mind this

613
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 9: team is very dependent upon game scripts because if he

614
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 9: is falling behind or they are falling behind, you'll probably

615
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 9: see a lot more a mirror of Duel who is

616
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 9: the second man into the backfield at least late. But

617
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 9: the point in the Saints, and this is a game

618
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 9: in which I think the Vegas Raiders feel like they

619
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 9: could win. Priced at fifty seven hundred dollars if you

620
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 9: get those eighteen opportunities like you did last week, hard

621
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 9: to beat that price for a starting running back in

622
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 9: the game in which the Raiders I don't know about

623
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 9: should but very much can win. On Sunday, and running

624
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 9: back two was a bit more straightforward of a pick.

625
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 9: It's Devon hen for the Dolphins, who in a big

626
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 9: week this past week. Did he the for Miami in

627
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 9: that win against San Francisco. Well on Sunday in Cleveland,

628
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 9: he should be a busy man again. And Hn has

629
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 9: really shifted his perspective as well. You know, I was

630
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 9: talking about how last year Bonnicks was excuse me. Early

631
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 9: this season bon Nicks was running. Now he's throwing a lot.

632
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 10: Well.

633
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 9: Davon Achen has really become two different players. As last

634
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 9: year he was the master of efficiency. It wasn't that

635
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 9: he was getting much work. It was that every chance

636
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 9: he got he seemed like he was turning it into

637
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:57,960
Speaker 9: a big play. This year, the Dolphins have really struggled

638
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 9: to run the football effectively, but has been amongst the

639
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 9: best pass catching running backs and all with fantasy football,

640
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 9: keep in mind Jaleen Waddle very iffy for this game.

641
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 9: So Tyrie Kill he's going to get some work and

642
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 9: Jonasmit's going to get some work as well. But den

643
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 9: Achien could once again challenge for the team leading targets.

644
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 2: All right, so wide receiver lineup, you go right back

645
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 2: to that matchup with Cincinnati and double dip here.

646
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 9: Yeah, that's right Courtland Sutton, who last week had five

647
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 9: catches for fifty yards for the Broncos that Thursday night

648
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 9: game in which they lost to Los Angeles. But if

649
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 9: the matchup is good for bon Necks, this means good

650
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 9: for Cortland Sutton as well. Seven thousand dollars salary here

651
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 9: for Sutton, so medium priced wide receiver for a guy

652
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 9: who's been really good and excellent in terms of finding

653
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 9: the end zone.

654
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 10: You know, the over under in this game quite high.

655
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:46,440
Speaker 9: It's certainly a matchup in which you feel like if

656
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:49,720
Speaker 9: Denver is gonna take care of business punch their playoff ticket,

657
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:51,760
Speaker 9: it's not going to be because they find a way

658
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:53,720
Speaker 9: to pitch a shutout. It's going to because they outpace

659
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 9: this excellent Cincinnati offense. Wouldn't surprise me if Sutton's one

660
00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 9: of the beneficiaries. So he's wide receiver won at the

661
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 9: first wide receiver that I've picked here, and then next

662
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 9: we're going to.

663
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 10: Go to the Tampa well twice.

664
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 9: With Mike Evans a high priced option and Jalen McMillan,

665
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 9: his teammate now at wide receiver two, who's the third

666
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:14,360
Speaker 9: wide receiver in our lineup. Evans kind of needs so explanation.

667
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 9: He's one hundred and eighty two yards away from one

668
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:20,319
Speaker 9: thousand yards once again this season. As you guys probably know,

669
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 9: Mike Evans has reached one thousand yards in every season

670
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:26,680
Speaker 9: of his NFL career. That is the longest streak to

671
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:29,440
Speaker 9: begin a career in NFL history. I'm sure Tampa is

672
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:31,759
Speaker 9: motivated to get him back to that one thousand and

673
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:34,320
Speaker 9: eighty two number or that one thousand number, which is

674
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:37,399
Speaker 9: one hundred and eighty two yards shy of Moreover, good

675
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 9: matchup against Carolina and finally this team needs to win.

676
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:43,359
Speaker 9: They are now tied with Atlanta for the division lead,

677
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 9: but the Falcons have that head to head tiebreaker. Meanwhile,

678
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:50,240
Speaker 9: McMillan Jalen McMillan fifty nine hundred dollars Over the past

679
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:50,880
Speaker 9: three games.

680
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:52,279
Speaker 10: He has four.

681
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:54,720
Speaker 9: Touchdowns and did again last week against the Cowboys. Actually

682
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:57,840
Speaker 9: nearly had another touchdown late in a game I played at.

683
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:02,120
Speaker 9: Jordan Lewis ended up intercepting Baker Mayfield on But McMillan

684
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:04,200
Speaker 9: has been so solid this year. Third round pick out

685
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 9: of Washington, one of the three Washington receiver drafted very

686
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 9: high this past draft, and with no Chris Godwin, they've

687
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:12,799
Speaker 9: kind of found themselves a new starting wide receiver two

688
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 9: opposite of Mike Evans.

689
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 1: We haven't seen too many Tennessee Titans on your fantasy

690
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:19,399
Speaker 1: lineups this season, because you've got one at tight end

691
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 1: this week. Yeah.

692
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:23,799
Speaker 9: Chicken Congquil their fourth round pick in twenty twenty three,

693
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 9: who's been very busy. Over the past two weeks. He

694
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 9: has back to back games with ten or more targets.

695
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:30,720
Speaker 9: Last week was terrific. Was chig and he's a good player.

696
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:33,879
Speaker 9: He's very very fast and athletic tight end who good

697
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:35,920
Speaker 9: things can tend to happen when you get the football

698
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:39,319
Speaker 9: in his hand. The problem for Tennessee has been that well,

699
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:41,799
Speaker 9: quarterback play has been unsteady and they haven't been able

700
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:43,799
Speaker 9: to throw the football a whole lot this year, at

701
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 9: least effectively. Well, Mason Rudoffs seems to steady the offense

702
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 9: a touch. You know, the numbers compared to Will Levis

703
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:53,799
Speaker 9: are actually like fairly close as identical. Just feels to

704
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:57,160
Speaker 9: me guys when watching them, and certainly Tennessee agrees. Because

705
00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:00,840
Speaker 9: they've made the change off of Will Levis Rudolph. This

706
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:03,920
Speaker 9: offense is just a bit more stable and under control

707
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:06,720
Speaker 9: when you have the veteran Rudolph in place of Levis.

708
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:09,560
Speaker 9: That benefits guys like chig Okonklow and.

709
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:12,760
Speaker 2: Then in your flex spot. This guy had a giant

710
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 2: week last week, and you're not surprised. I'm not surprised

711
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:18,799
Speaker 2: to see him in this lineup this week against a

712
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:19,840
Speaker 2: giant's defense.

713
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:22,680
Speaker 10: Yeah, this is an interesting one.

714
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 9: Here is Jonathan Taylor and JT was terrific last week

715
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:29,960
Speaker 9: eighty four hundred bucks. And as we're having this conversation

716
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:33,880
Speaker 9: and this could change any moment, there's been no Anthony

717
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,719
Speaker 9: Richardson seen on the practice field so far this week

718
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:39,720
Speaker 9: for Indianapolis. And while he played last week and Taylor

719
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 9: went off for that monster day, one thing we have

720
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:44,879
Speaker 9: seen this year is that when Joe Flacco plays, there's

721
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:47,880
Speaker 9: a lot more opportunity in the passing game for Jonathan Taylor,

722
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 9: at least more opportunity, I should say, but plenty more

723
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 9: opportunity in terms of goal to go rushing attempts because

724
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:57,240
Speaker 9: Anthony Richardson is a dynamic player.

725
00:36:57,280 --> 00:36:59,120
Speaker 10: He's a force by the goal line.

726
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:01,960
Speaker 9: Do you have the ball first and goal from the five,

727
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 9: You have two options there if you're running the ball

728
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:08,440
Speaker 9: Taylor or Richardson with Jonathan Taylor. If there is no

729
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:11,480
Speaker 9: Anthony Richardson, and only bodes well for Jonathan Taylor, who,

730
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:13,560
Speaker 9: as you guys just saw right there in the video,

731
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 9: I appreciated that moment right there. Or he ran for

732
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 9: a touchdown last week and just held the football all

733
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:21,360
Speaker 9: the way into the tunnel, a week after allowing the

734
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:24,319
Speaker 9: football to come three at the half yard line and

735
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:26,840
Speaker 9: a breakaway run against Denver. So he learned his lesson

736
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:29,800
Speaker 9: in a hurry priced at eighty four hundred dollars against

737
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:31,920
Speaker 9: a bad Giants run defense.

738
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:35,880
Speaker 2: And then we wrap it up and punt on defenses

739
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:36,880
Speaker 2: we have all season.

740
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:40,880
Speaker 10: Yes, here we go.

741
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:43,399
Speaker 9: We are on our last I mean, guys, it's really

742
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:45,440
Speaker 9: been one of those weeks, right, one of those seasons,

743
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:47,759
Speaker 9: I should say. But the Raiders are our defense at

744
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:51,560
Speaker 9: thirty two hundred dollars, and by saying yourself, the Raiders

745
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 9: with under four Fantasy points a game, it's correct, the

746
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:57,879
Speaker 9: Raiders and four fantasy points a game. But they played

747
00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:00,600
Speaker 9: the Saints, it became the first team also season to

748
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 9: not score a single point. The Texans nearly nearly joined

749
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 9: them yesterday, as they got a mere two points in

750
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:10,560
Speaker 9: that game against the Ravens, but as things currently stand

751
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:12,319
Speaker 9: right now, the same so the only team that has

752
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 9: not that has been shout out so far this year.

753
00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:17,920
Speaker 9: As we know, Derek Carr uncertain to play no album

754
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:21,240
Speaker 9: Kamara this week. Most likely they are very very limited.

755
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 9: So the Raiders, even though they are not a great defense,

756
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:26,359
Speaker 9: have of unsfavorable of a matchup as you can get.

757
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:29,319
Speaker 9: Does seem like there's a chance Chris o'lave plays, but

758
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:31,920
Speaker 9: with Spencer Rattler under center, should be a day for

759
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 9: that Raiders defense to capitalize.

760
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:37,959
Speaker 2: Okay, so stuff, Let's just ask you quickly about Bills

761
00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:40,440
Speaker 2: Jets this week. Obviously, the Bills have something to play for.

762
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:42,560
Speaker 2: They have the chance to clinch the two seed with

763
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:45,080
Speaker 2: a victory. You would think they'd like to get that

764
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 2: out of the way so they could rest guys next

765
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 2: week and treat Week eighteen like a bye of sorts.

766
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 2: I suppose what kind of team are you expecting to

767
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:56,080
Speaker 2: come out on Sunday?

768
00:38:57,280 --> 00:38:59,319
Speaker 9: Yeah, guys, I remember talking with you last week thinking

769
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:02,240
Speaker 9: that the Bills would outclassed the Patriots from from kickoff

770
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:04,440
Speaker 9: last week. And you know, obviously that first quarter was

771
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:06,719
Speaker 9: the opposite. Patriots came out with their hair on fire,

772
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:09,359
Speaker 9: and that's desperate team, and you know, Buffalo is much

773
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 9: more talented. They get the job done and you know,

774
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:14,959
Speaker 9: score the defensive touchdown and take care of business late

775
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:17,920
Speaker 9: on that You know that that that opportunity for them

776
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 9: to seal the game a third or fourth and one,

777
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:21,759
Speaker 9: and they end up doing that. So it did enough

778
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:23,920
Speaker 9: to win last week, but not the kind of football

779
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 9: that's going to be good enough for Buffalo.

780
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 10: To win when it matters in January.

781
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 9: So I do expect this team to come out very

782
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:31,920
Speaker 9: motivated on Sunday with everything in front of them. Right,

783
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 9: you win and you don't get the bye week, but

784
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 9: you effectively get one because or at least for some

785
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:38,400
Speaker 9: of your team and guys like Josh Allen who have

786
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:41,359
Speaker 9: been playing all season and doing so playing through some pain,

787
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:44,120
Speaker 9: and obviously the secondary has been banged up, and you know,

788
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:46,000
Speaker 9: some other key pieces on both sides of the ball

789
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 9: at this time this year, and well, you know, you

790
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:50,320
Speaker 9: still got to feel the team of twenty two starters

791
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:52,440
Speaker 9: in week eighteen. It allows you to be much more

792
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:54,600
Speaker 9: judicious in terms of how you go about your business.

793
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:57,640
Speaker 9: So I expect a Bill's team to be very motivated.

794
00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:00,719
Speaker 9: I also, I don't think the Bills are playing or

795
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:03,719
Speaker 9: for MVP credentials, but you know, I don't think they

796
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:06,240
Speaker 9: would mind Josh having a nice day on Sunday because

797
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:08,879
Speaker 9: we tend to be very prisoner at the moment. And

798
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:10,960
Speaker 9: if you saw the internet yesterday, they were all saying,

799
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:11,439
Speaker 9: what do you mean?

800
00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:14,520
Speaker 10: The MVP race is over. What about Lamar Jackson?

801
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:16,719
Speaker 9: And Lamar was terrific, But you know, I would say

802
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:18,960
Speaker 9: at least of the first sixteen weeks of the season,

803
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 9: Josh has done nearly everything in his power as well

804
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:24,480
Speaker 9: to state his case, but a triumphant Sunday would go

805
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:29,080
Speaker 9: a long way towards further stating Josh's case for his

806
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:31,080
Speaker 9: first career NFL MVP award.

807
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:34,319
Speaker 2: All Right, Field, thanks as always. It's to enjoy your

808

837
00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:25,439
Speaker 2: It's from Coach Dave, who is this week's winner. He says,

838
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:28,319
Speaker 2: I try to live my life with no regrets, win loser, draw,

839
00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 2: and I try to bestow that upon my kids to

840
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:32,200
Speaker 2: make the most of everything and be conscious of the

841
00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:36,000
Speaker 2: opportunities that present themselves. But if you could do it

842
00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:39,000
Speaker 2: all again, would you change or do anything different.

843
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:43,520
Speaker 1: It's interesting because when you're playing it, you know, in

844
00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:47,920
Speaker 1: the NFL, in any level, the game's insanely important to you.

845
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:51,040
Speaker 1: Every game is all or nothing. You pour your heart

846
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:53,319
Speaker 1: and soul into it. I'll say this though us and

847
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:55,719
Speaker 1: I knew this was going to be the question, so

848
00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:57,480
Speaker 1: I was thinking about it in the lead up to

849
00:42:57,520 --> 00:43:00,440
Speaker 1: the show. I think there's no question there's a couple

850
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:02,320
Speaker 1: of plays here and there that I would have played differently.

851
00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:04,080
Speaker 1: I would have dodged a couple of big hits, you

852
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:06,920
Speaker 1: know how that goes. But I think what I would

853
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:09,640
Speaker 1: have really done differently is I would have been a

854
00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:14,520
Speaker 1: tried to be a better teammate, better father, better husband,

855
00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:16,879
Speaker 1: better brother. You know, I would have been a better

856
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:20,239
Speaker 1: human being. I would have savored the small moments and

857
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:23,280
Speaker 1: if I had if I was going to change something,

858
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:25,359
Speaker 1: the big things take care of themselves, and you can

859
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:27,239
Speaker 1: only control what you can control, and you give your

860
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:32,360
Speaker 1: best effort. I have no regrets about that. But I

861
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:35,120
Speaker 1: don't know, you know, I want the guys that I

862
00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:37,319
Speaker 1: played with to love and respect me as much as

863
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:39,080
Speaker 1: I love and respect them. I don't know if I

864
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:42,719
Speaker 1: was always worthy of it, you try, But there were

865
00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:44,560
Speaker 1: times when I was a you know, I was a donkey,

866
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:46,479
Speaker 1: just like everybody else is, you know once in a while.

867
00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:50,600
Speaker 1: Not you, brownie, but yeah, I would be. I'd do

868
00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:52,960
Speaker 1: my best to be a better human being, a better

869
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:57,600
Speaker 1: friend to my teammates, a better a better guy, like

870
00:43:57,600 --> 00:44:00,520
Speaker 1: I say, a better husband, a better father. That's what

871
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:02,760
Speaker 1: I do. Different about the really important stuff. And certainly,

872
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:05,480
Speaker 1: while football and professional football is important to a lot

873
00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:08,040
Speaker 1: of people, uh, and certainly to me when I was

874
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:14,120
Speaker 1: playing it was important, I would have done things better

875
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:18,680
Speaker 1: maybe yeah, And for that part, yeah, differently, but I

876
00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:21,680
Speaker 1: would have been a better person, better me than I was,

877
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:25,680
Speaker 1: if I had to do over again. Not you know, Yeah,

878
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:28,000
Speaker 1: I don't have too many regrets about him, the way

879
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:28,880
Speaker 1: it went on the field.

880
00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:32,200
Speaker 2: Very well, said Steve. Very well said, Uh, we are

881
00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:34,920
Speaker 2: going to pivot back to the phone calls at eight

882
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:37,600
Speaker 2: oh three oh five fifty one eight eight five fifty

883
00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:40,080
Speaker 2: two five fifty number to get on board where we

884
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 2: are asking you is the number two seed for the

885
00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:45,360
Speaker 2: bills worth the risk going full board this week against

886
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:48,320
Speaker 2: the Jets, and you tell us yes, no, and why

887
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:51,280
Speaker 2: we go to Kevin and Hamburg next? What's up Kevin?

888
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:53,640
Speaker 11: Hey, guys, how you doing today's holiday?

889
00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:55,000
Speaker 2: Yeah? You too? Thanks.

890
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:58,560
Speaker 11: I don't know so much about because of the number

891
00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:01,200
Speaker 11: two seed, even though that's an important but being that

892
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:04,040
Speaker 11: we didn't do well last week and we barely escaped,

893
00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:07,360
Speaker 11: I like the headline you had Monday builds escape barely

894
00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:10,000
Speaker 11: against the Patriots. We need to go into that Jet

895
00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:14,080
Speaker 11: game full blown to prove it. Last week was one

896
00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:17,680
Speaker 11: of those almost trapped games and we didn't do well.

897
00:45:18,239 --> 00:45:19,919
Speaker 11: We're lucky we got out of it. If it would

898
00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:22,640
Speaker 11: have been for that blunder by the Patriots, they might

899
00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:25,360
Speaker 11: have gotten closer to winning that game. Go into this

900
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:29,520
Speaker 11: game full blown, pretend to Jets are a wonderful team,

901
00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:32,680
Speaker 11: even if they're not. And then rest, treat the Patriot

902
00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:36,000
Speaker 11: game like a preseason game and cold with cold weather,

903
00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:41,920
Speaker 11: and just chill him, and especially rest Josh's funny bone elbow.

904
00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:43,840
Speaker 11: We don't want him to get elbow problems going to

905
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:46,600
Speaker 11: the playoffs, because remember two years to go get elbow

906
00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:49,680
Speaker 11: problems of those two bad games in twenty two, the

907
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:52,080
Speaker 11: Jet game, and then the Viking game we threw another

908
00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:55,320
Speaker 11: but picks and then we want we need him rested,

909
00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:59,640
Speaker 11: all of them rested. So yeah, not really so much

910
00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:02,920
Speaker 11: about the seed. It's about proving the last week's game

911
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:06,440
Speaker 11: with just a bad almost game anomaly.

912
00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:10,120
Speaker 2: See Kevin kind of looks at it differently, Steve, He's

913
00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:13,680
Speaker 2: not Yosh concerned about seed as much as form playing

914
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:18,520
Speaker 2: for him. Yeah, I don't know, more concerned about the seed. Yeah,

915
00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:20,799
Speaker 2: I'm more concerned about the seed. And you can't have

916
00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:22,640
Speaker 2: it both ways. You can't go all in and look

917
00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:25,440
Speaker 2: like your razor sharp gonna be great against the Jets

918
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:28,240
Speaker 2: and then rest everybody. You can do that on Week eighteen,

919
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:30,839
Speaker 2: but there's no guarantees you're gonna beat the Jets. If

920
00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:33,160
Speaker 2: you play your best, you gotta go out and and

921
00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:37,239
Speaker 2: you know it. The Jets are a good team. They

922
00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:40,680
Speaker 2: don't like the Bills. Bills don't like them. There's nothing

923
00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:46,200
Speaker 2: they'd like better than to tank our season, no question

924
00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:47,400
Speaker 2: about it.

925
00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 1: Is it worth? Is it worth having Josh play four

926
00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:55,239
Speaker 1: quarters and risk his as you say, his elbow to

927
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:58,200
Speaker 1: the Jets for the two seeds at I don't know

928
00:46:58,239 --> 00:47:01,319
Speaker 1: if it is. You want him healthy, sit him down.

929
00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:06,440
Speaker 1: But if you sit him down, he's the MVP for

930
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:08,719
Speaker 1: a reason. You're taking you're chopping off a big chunk

931
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:15,520
Speaker 1: of your offense. So yeah, the question is how do

932
00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:17,919
Speaker 1: you strike the ballance? I mean, winning the game and

933
00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:20,960
Speaker 1: with as little risk as possible. That's really the balance

934
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:23,560
Speaker 1: you're trying to strike. There's not going to be ever

935
00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:30,680
Speaker 1: any no risk football games. And that's the question is it.

936
00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:34,200
Speaker 1: Are you going to go full guns blazing, go in

937
00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:37,239
Speaker 1: there and take what may come, knowing that you may

938
00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:40,120
Speaker 1: line up in Week eighteen without your best the best

939
00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:42,640
Speaker 1: player in the league lining up because he got injured,

940
00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:45,359
Speaker 1: trying to win a Week seventeen game for the two seed.

941
00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:48,720
Speaker 1: There's there's your question.

942
00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:52,319
Speaker 2: Let's go to Mark in Jersey City next. What's up Mark?

943
00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:56,560
Speaker 12: Good afternoon, gentlemen, Thanks for taking my call. They have

944
00:47:56,640 --> 00:47:58,840
Speaker 12: to they have to make sure it goes through Buffalo

945
00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:00,400
Speaker 12: outside of going to Ahead.

946
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:01,200
Speaker 3: They have to.

947
00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:03,719
Speaker 12: I think that's the one, and then they can treat

948
00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:06,680
Speaker 12: next week like bye week and do whatever they have

949
00:48:06,760 --> 00:48:09,600
Speaker 12: to do. But they come out be a little salty.

950
00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:11,600
Speaker 12: They got off to the slow start, they weren't on

951
00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:13,719
Speaker 12: their game and just punched the Jets in the mouth.

952
00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:17,040
Speaker 12: Just give it to them early. That way, you can

953
00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:19,759
Speaker 12: just go into cost mode in the second half or

954
00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:23,040
Speaker 12: whatever the case may be, because you know the way

955
00:48:23,080 --> 00:48:24,960
Speaker 12: they came out in the malaise and just kind of

956
00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:28,120
Speaker 12: I don't even think they got out of I don't

957
00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:31,319
Speaker 12: even think they got out of Neutral last week and

958
00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:33,799
Speaker 12: they still won the game, and Cook didn't even play

959
00:48:33,840 --> 00:48:36,600
Speaker 12: in the first matchup, and Ray Davis had his coming

960
00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:39,759
Speaker 12: out party and for KC, I mean, god's talk about

961
00:48:39,760 --> 00:48:44,080
Speaker 12: two no shows from Pittsburgh and Texans thanks for nothing.

962
00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:47,680
Speaker 12: You think that extra rest might because they're going to

963
00:48:47,719 --> 00:48:52,200
Speaker 12: be in sleepwalk mode to win till the divisional round

964
00:48:52,239 --> 00:48:55,520
Speaker 12: that's almost a month. Do you think that is going

965
00:48:55,600 --> 00:48:56,600
Speaker 12: to take them out of gear?

966
00:48:56,719 --> 00:49:02,440
Speaker 1: I think that's I think that it's a misnomer. I

967
00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:05,800
Speaker 1: don't think teams show up like that in the playoffs.

968
00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:07,759
Speaker 1: You've seen teams do it, but it's not because they

969
00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:10,800
Speaker 1: had three weeks off. I don't think that's an I

970
00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:13,600
Speaker 1: don't think that to me. I mean, we talk about

971
00:49:13,600 --> 00:49:15,479
Speaker 1: this and I'm saying, you know, how is it worth

972
00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:17,520
Speaker 1: the risk? Listen, time off at this point of the

973
00:49:17,719 --> 00:49:22,080
Speaker 1: regular season is an elixir. It fixes a ton of problems,

974
00:49:22,120 --> 00:49:25,480
Speaker 1: because the thing that causes you to show up flat

975
00:49:26,520 --> 00:49:28,840
Speaker 1: is a lack of motivation and a lack of meaning

976
00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:34,000
Speaker 1: in the game, a lack of need to win the game.

977
00:49:34,360 --> 00:49:38,000
Speaker 1: When you get in the playoffs, that is absolutely on

978
00:49:38,239 --> 00:49:42,560
Speaker 1: full blast. So not only do you show up like

979
00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:45,000
Speaker 1: your hair's on fire during the week to get ready

980
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:47,120
Speaker 1: for the game, you show up on game day out

981
00:49:47,120 --> 00:49:51,120
Speaker 1: of your mind. That's where these guys live. This thing

982
00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:54,239
Speaker 1: about will it make them rustier? No, I do not

983
00:49:54,320 --> 00:49:58,040
Speaker 1: think anybody's gonna show up rusty. I just don't think

984
00:49:58,080 --> 00:50:01,040
Speaker 1: that's a thing. There have been time from playoff teams

985
00:50:01,040 --> 00:50:03,600
Speaker 1: have shown up and not shown and been flat, and

986
00:50:03,840 --> 00:50:05,520
Speaker 1: I do not think it's because they had two weeks off.

987
00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:09,920
Speaker 1: I think it's because they're poorly coached. I think it

988
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:13,920
Speaker 1: was because they're leaders on the team. I put it

989
00:50:13,960 --> 00:50:15,799
Speaker 1: in the lot the leaders, the best players on their

990
00:50:15,840 --> 00:50:20,359
Speaker 1: team did not show up well enough. I don't think

991
00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:23,040
Speaker 1: it's because they had time off, unless that time off

992
00:50:23,160 --> 00:50:26,120
Speaker 1: did it to the best players. Your best players got

993
00:50:26,160 --> 00:50:28,800
Speaker 1: to show up on the biggest games, and playoff games

994
00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:31,480
Speaker 1: are the biggest games. So I don't think there's any

995
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:34,480
Speaker 1: question that the Chiefs could take two months off and

996
00:50:34,560 --> 00:50:37,279
Speaker 1: show up ready to play. And I think the same

997
00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:39,600
Speaker 1: thing about the Bills. I think the same thing about Baltimore.

998
00:50:39,640 --> 00:50:42,520
Speaker 1: I think the same thing about you know, Detroit and

999
00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:45,439
Speaker 1: Philly and Minnesota. All those teams are going to show

1000
00:50:45,520 --> 00:50:48,279
Speaker 1: up in a big way on the opening round of

1001
00:50:48,280 --> 00:50:52,040
Speaker 1: the playoffs. But let me tell you them, all of

1002
00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:54,919
Speaker 1: them wish they had a week off. Yeah, all of them,

1003
00:50:55,160 --> 00:50:58,160
Speaker 1: because it means a ton as to how you feel

1004
00:50:58,160 --> 00:51:03,560
Speaker 1: physically mentally is what you're talking about, And mentally, those

1005
00:51:03,560 --> 00:51:06,279
Speaker 1: guys are going to invest everything they are into these

1006
00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:07,240
Speaker 1: rep playoff games.

1007
00:51:07,880 --> 00:51:10,160

Speaker 13: The Wow, that's a long list. That's it's a long

1023
00:52:37,239 --> 00:52:39,120
Speaker 13: list I had to go through because I'm going through

1024
00:52:39,239 --> 00:52:42,880
Speaker 13: like what we had, you know, turkey whatever.

1025
00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:46,360
Speaker 3: But man, I'm talking about like the desserts were nice.

1026
00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:49,400
Speaker 2: So that's right, it's okay, dessert.

1027
00:52:49,440 --> 00:52:51,360
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter the course, just what you like this,

1028
00:52:51,560 --> 00:52:53,360
Speaker 3: what you like the most. So I'm gonna have to

1029
00:52:53,360 --> 00:52:54,360
Speaker 3: go with dessert.

1030
00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:57,720
Speaker 13: And I'm still trying to figure out who sent missus

1031
00:52:57,800 --> 00:52:59,360
Speaker 13: Field's cookies to our house.

1032
00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:02,200
Speaker 2: Oh oh nice, Well that's a nice surprise.

1033
00:53:02,280 --> 00:53:04,520
Speaker 13: Oh yeah, I mean it was a bad They were

1034
00:53:04,560 --> 00:53:07,400
Speaker 13: going within probably twelve hours.

1035
00:53:07,480 --> 00:53:11,400
Speaker 2: Yeah. Are you a pie guy? Not really really?

1036
00:53:11,440 --> 00:53:14,000
Speaker 13: Okay, My wife makes Patty make some good apple pies

1037
00:53:14,040 --> 00:53:16,080
Speaker 13: and I usually eat like the crust.

1038
00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:21,319
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, I'm like a crust guy, so okay, fair enough. Yeah, yeah,

1039
00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:22,880
Speaker 3: probably dessert was the best thing for me.

1040
00:53:23,040 --> 00:53:25,480
Speaker 2: Right, fair enough, fair enough, We just check in, get

1041
00:53:25,480 --> 00:53:28,440
Speaker 2: the temperature of the room. H two seed on the

1042
00:53:28,440 --> 00:53:31,600
Speaker 2: line here this week, theterm uh bills need to win

1043
00:53:31,840 --> 00:53:34,280
Speaker 2: to clinch the two seed in the af se because

1044
00:53:34,760 --> 00:53:39,080
Speaker 2: Chiefs wrapped up the top seed winning yesterday, as you know,

1045
00:53:39,880 --> 00:53:45,000
Speaker 2: so just your thoughts like, gunning for that is worthwhile, right,

1046
00:53:45,040 --> 00:53:47,239
Speaker 2: You get two home games that way.

1047
00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:49,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so too.

1048
00:53:49,120 --> 00:53:51,880
Speaker 13: And you know, I even though Kansas City has in

1049
00:53:51,920 --> 00:53:54,200
Speaker 13: the last couple of weeks have just kind of kind

1050
00:53:54,200 --> 00:53:55,839
Speaker 13: of turned it on a little bit, put it in gear.

1051
00:53:55,880 --> 00:53:57,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, they kind of put it in gear a little bit.

1052
00:53:57,480 --> 00:54:02,759
Speaker 13: So yeah, yeah, getting the two seed and man, you're

1053
00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:04,759
Speaker 13: thinking after the way they played this year, but they've

1054
00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:06,480
Speaker 13: turned it on the last couple of weeks that if

1055
00:54:06,480 --> 00:54:08,960
Speaker 13: somebody goes in there and beats him, then Buffalo has

1056
00:54:08,960 --> 00:54:11,279
Speaker 13: a home fiella advantage you know, for the rest of

1057
00:54:11,320 --> 00:54:14,040
Speaker 13: the playoffs. But yeah, I mean the two seasons. Yeah,

1058
00:54:14,080 --> 00:54:18,000
Speaker 13: you get to play two home games and yeah, but

1059
00:54:18,280 --> 00:54:22,920
Speaker 13: it's still in that area where you know, you have

1060
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:26,279
Speaker 13: to win one more game, like so yeah you have

1061
00:54:26,520 --> 00:54:28,520
Speaker 13: and you and you have to go because you don't

1062
00:54:28,520 --> 00:54:31,400
Speaker 13: want to go one, two, three weeks in the playoffs

1063
00:54:31,440 --> 00:54:34,000
Speaker 13: and not doing anything, right, So yeah, I think this

1064
00:54:34,120 --> 00:54:36,040
Speaker 13: is and there's a lot to play for it, like

1065
00:54:36,120 --> 00:54:37,959
Speaker 13: just said, the two seed and then you can rest

1066
00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:40,560
Speaker 13: your guys the following week. But you know, I think

1067
00:54:40,640 --> 00:54:44,440
Speaker 13: James Cook is right there getting a thousand yards Josh

1068
00:54:44,640 --> 00:54:47,680
Speaker 13: would touchdown. So there's some MVP and some awards to

1069
00:54:47,719 --> 00:54:50,480
Speaker 13: be to be had still, you know, and and and

1070
00:54:51,080 --> 00:54:52,799
Speaker 13: for me, hey you go play them.

1071
00:54:52,800 --> 00:54:54,360
Speaker 3: You're I mean, you're still trying to lock up the

1072
00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:55,040
Speaker 3: number two seasons.

1073
00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:57,759
Speaker 1: I said this just before he came on. People think, well,

1074
00:54:57,800 --> 00:54:59,959
Speaker 1: if they give him some time off, they're gonna come back. Russ.

1075
00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:03,720
Speaker 1: I don't see it. I don't see any of these teams.

1076
00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:05,400
Speaker 1: The top team, Kansas City is certainly not going to

1077
00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:07,399
Speaker 1: show up russy. They showed up playing with their food

1078
00:55:07,600 --> 00:55:10,480
Speaker 1: for two months. They got to gear nobody else's I mean,

1079
00:55:10,480 --> 00:55:12,680
Speaker 1: they got to gear nobody else's got. They turn it

1080
00:55:12,719 --> 00:55:15,239
Speaker 1: on and they stayed close enough to win or they

1081
00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:16,840
Speaker 1: or they just beat you. They give you enough to

1082
00:55:16,840 --> 00:55:20,400
Speaker 1: beat you. The bills I think we've seen, and even

1083
00:55:20,719 --> 00:55:22,759
Speaker 1: particularly with this last week where they showed up in

1084
00:55:22,800 --> 00:55:25,080
Speaker 1: a game that was meetingless. They got an engine. They

1085
00:55:25,080 --> 00:55:29,680
Speaker 1: played half a game and won. Same thing. When they

1086
00:55:29,680 --> 00:55:31,600
Speaker 1: turn it on, they can beat Kansas City and they

1087
00:55:31,600 --> 00:55:34,759
Speaker 1: beat Detroit. I mean they got a big engine. I

1088
00:55:34,840 --> 00:55:36,520
Speaker 1: just think when they get ready and they know they've

1089
00:55:36,520 --> 00:55:40,160
Speaker 1: got a game they gotta win. They've got a a

1090
00:55:40,239 --> 00:55:45,200
Speaker 1: process that can get them ready to play. So I

1091
00:55:45,200 --> 00:55:48,279
Speaker 1: don't I don't worry too much about a team like

1092
00:55:48,360 --> 00:55:51,680
Speaker 1: Kansas City or Buffalo or Baltimore taking a week or

1093
00:55:51,719 --> 00:55:53,640
Speaker 1: something off and then showing up flat. I don't think

1094
00:55:53,640 --> 00:55:54,200
Speaker 1: that's gonna happen.

1095
00:55:54,200 --> 00:55:55,839
Speaker 13: I don't think that's going to happen with the Bill's either.

1096
00:55:55,880 --> 00:55:58,520
Speaker 13: I mean, they've been this way throughout the entire football season.

1097
00:55:58,880 --> 00:56:01,919
Speaker 13: They've been right there, averaging over thirty points in the game. Yeah,

1098
00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:04,919
Speaker 13: the defense not so good at certain times, but these

1099
00:56:04,920 --> 00:56:07,960
Speaker 13: guys know, and Josh hasn't had key on Copan, so

1100
00:56:08,040 --> 00:56:09,919
Speaker 13: you want that chemistry to try to get back together.

1101
00:56:09,920 --> 00:56:12,279
Speaker 13: So I mean it's, yeah, you're talking about the top

1102
00:56:12,320 --> 00:56:14,600
Speaker 13: three teams. I don't think a week or so it's

1103
00:56:14,640 --> 00:56:18,920
Speaker 13: gonna hurt these teams at all. But you know, I

1104
00:56:18,960 --> 00:56:21,319
Speaker 13: think it's the time for us to get healthier. I mean,

1105
00:56:21,360 --> 00:56:23,440
Speaker 13: I want Matt Malloner to play into the playoffs, you know.

1106
00:56:23,440 --> 00:56:26,319
Speaker 13: I want guys like that to be yeah, you know,

1107
00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:27,839
Speaker 13: and and and give him a little bit.

1108
00:56:27,760 --> 00:56:29,200
Speaker 3: More time to rest and relax.

1109
00:56:29,280 --> 00:56:31,800
Speaker 13: So, uh but yeah, but I think with this team

1110
00:56:31,840 --> 00:56:34,200
Speaker 13: and with Josh and with they the way that they

1111
00:56:34,200 --> 00:56:36,960
Speaker 13: have performed this year. I mean they've pretty much been

1112
00:56:37,040 --> 00:56:39,239
Speaker 13: on every single game, no matter who's been in there.

1113
00:56:39,239 --> 00:56:42,160
Speaker 3: I mean, can Kate miss how many games this year?

1114
00:56:42,640 --> 00:56:43,560
Speaker 1: Miss three? Three?

1115
00:56:43,760 --> 00:56:44,040
Speaker 3: Three?

1116
00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:47,640
Speaker 13: Covian missed four or five? So I mean that's kind

1117
00:56:47,640 --> 00:56:50,680
Speaker 13: of part of your offense. But Dauwstain Knox came to play,

1118
00:56:51,040 --> 00:56:56,319
Speaker 13: started putting them more involved. So Mac Collins, you know,

1119
00:56:56,440 --> 00:56:59,960
Speaker 13: I'm like, by the way, Mac, my son in law love.

1120
00:57:02,080 --> 00:57:06,120
Speaker 13: So yeah, it's uh yeah, this team here is uh

1121
00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:08,400
Speaker 13: you know, and and and Josh has been on on

1122
00:57:08,520 --> 00:57:11,240
Speaker 13: time and on past this this this offense has had.

1123
00:57:11,080 --> 00:57:12,759
Speaker 3: A rhythm throughout the entire year.

1124
00:57:12,840 --> 00:57:15,560
Speaker 13: So uh you know, maybe that last game of the

1125
00:57:15,600 --> 00:57:17,120
Speaker 13: year is to rest some of their guys.

1126
00:57:17,240 --> 00:57:20,400
Speaker 2: All right, So Jets up this week, and we know

1127
00:57:20,440 --> 00:57:22,320
Speaker 2: the Jets and the Bills don't really care for each

1128
00:57:22,360 --> 00:57:27,200
Speaker 2: other too much. There's a little animosity there. James Cook

1129
00:57:27,240 --> 00:57:29,760
Speaker 2: didn't play in the first meeting. He missed that game.

1130
00:57:29,840 --> 00:57:33,120
Speaker 2: But yeah, the ray came out that first drive. I'm

1131
00:57:33,120 --> 00:57:35,040
Speaker 2: sure you remember it well since it was eight runs

1132
00:57:35,040 --> 00:57:39,400
Speaker 2: on nine plays. How do you kind of see this

1133
00:57:39,560 --> 00:57:41,800
Speaker 2: and how does James being in the lineup kind of

1134
00:57:41,840 --> 00:57:44,880
Speaker 2: change the dynamic of what the Jets have to prepare

1135
00:57:44,920 --> 00:57:47,680
Speaker 2: for here running wise, because he's much different than Ray.

1136
00:57:47,760 --> 00:57:50,720
Speaker 3: Oh, he's way much different than Ray. Yeah, I think, Uh,

1137
00:57:50,760 --> 00:57:53,600
Speaker 3: you know their middle linebackers. Who are they? I don't

1138
00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:54,200
Speaker 3: even know who they are.

1139
00:57:54,400 --> 00:58:00,040
Speaker 2: Quincy Williams Williams. He's on i R. So Jamie and

1140
00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:03,080
Speaker 2: Sherwood and Quincy Williams are the two inside backers. Yeah.

1141
00:58:03,120 --> 00:58:05,440
Speaker 13: So, I mean, I mean it's it's gonna be well

1142
00:58:05,440 --> 00:58:08,080
Speaker 13: to see them playing because the Jets have always given

1143
00:58:08,320 --> 00:58:11,000
Speaker 13: Josh and our bills offense a little trouble. I mean,

1144
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:13,000
Speaker 13: they got a nice defense over there, and they play

1145
00:58:13,160 --> 00:58:15,280
Speaker 13: very very well, and it seems like they have the

1146
00:58:15,360 --> 00:58:18,360
Speaker 13: right scheme that matches up well against uds. But like

1147
00:58:18,400 --> 00:58:20,360
Speaker 13: I say, James didn't play in the first in the

1148
00:58:20,400 --> 00:58:22,760
Speaker 13: first game, but Ray Ray had an outstanding game. So

1149
00:58:24,400 --> 00:58:27,000
Speaker 13: you know, it's it's good to see that you're Joe

1150
00:58:27,040 --> 00:58:30,000
Speaker 13: Brady and you have Hey, they haven't seen Josh, I

1151
00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:33,400
Speaker 13: mean James this year doing what he's done besides watching

1152
00:58:33,440 --> 00:58:33,919
Speaker 13: the O film.

1153
00:58:34,080 --> 00:58:35,600
Speaker 3: So I mean, I think he's going to have an

1154
00:58:35,640 --> 00:58:37,800
Speaker 3: outstanding game. I want him to have an outstanding game.

1155
00:58:38,240 --> 00:58:41,440
Speaker 13: Uh so, you know, and he creates a dilemma in

1156
00:58:41,480 --> 00:58:44,240
Speaker 13: the passing game also forever who's gonna be covering?

1157
00:58:44,880 --> 00:58:48,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, we've been having this conversation about you know, you

1158
00:58:48,120 --> 00:58:49,760
Speaker 1: want to show best case scenario.

1159
00:58:49,800 --> 00:58:50,160
Speaker 3: Show up.

1160
00:58:50,160 --> 00:58:52,040
Speaker 1: You score twenty eight points in the first quarter and

1161
00:58:52,080 --> 00:58:56,280
Speaker 1: a half, and then you can coast in and knowing

1162
00:58:56,320 --> 00:58:58,240
Speaker 1: the Jets are going to struggle to score points and

1163
00:58:58,880 --> 00:59:01,720
Speaker 1: hopefully struggle to score points, and that's that's then you

1164
00:59:01,760 --> 00:59:04,600
Speaker 1: go into week eighteen. You can do whatever you want,

1165
00:59:05,560 --> 00:59:07,520
Speaker 1: but the Jets got something to say about it, and

1166
00:59:07,960 --> 00:59:10,920
Speaker 1: you know that, you know it's gonna be risky. I mean,

1167
00:59:10,960 --> 00:59:13,080
Speaker 1: you're gonna play Josh hard for four quarters. You're gonna

1168
00:59:13,080 --> 00:59:14,560
Speaker 1: play all these guys. Now, that's what they sign up for.

1169
00:59:14,600 --> 00:59:17,000
Speaker 1: And it's been fine. This is this is in week one.

1170
00:59:17,080 --> 00:59:19,040
Speaker 1: This is week seventeen. So it's been a year, like

1171
00:59:19,520 --> 00:59:23,040
Speaker 1: you know, like it has been you still it's hard

1172
00:59:23,160 --> 00:59:27,640
Speaker 1: to convey how much you want to push the throttle

1173
00:59:27,720 --> 00:59:31,440
Speaker 1: forward and you know push that, you know, if you're

1174
00:59:31,440 --> 00:59:33,720
Speaker 1: Schmi Dedermott and he's got to push this team hard

1175
00:59:33,840 --> 00:59:35,919
Speaker 1: to get him into this game and win this game.

1176
00:59:36,360 --> 00:59:38,280
Speaker 1: And then think about week eighteen.

1177
00:59:38,520 --> 00:59:40,680
Speaker 13: Yeah, well, yeah, I mean the Jets are going to

1178
00:59:40,880 --> 00:59:42,320
Speaker 13: I think the Jets are going to come out. They

1179
00:59:42,360 --> 00:59:46,480
Speaker 13: know they play a matchup well against the Bills number one. Uh,

1180
00:59:46,760 --> 00:59:49,800
Speaker 13: and they're like any other team, they're looking to try

1181
00:59:49,800 --> 00:59:51,200
Speaker 13: to screw your season up anyway.

1182
00:59:51,400 --> 00:59:52,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, they are looking.

1183
00:59:52,600 --> 00:59:53,080
Speaker 5: I mean.

1184
00:59:55,520 --> 00:59:56,640
Speaker 3: Those got Quentin Williams.

1185
00:59:56,680 --> 00:59:58,920
Speaker 13: I mean, he's gonna come to play, right, He's gonna

1186
00:59:58,920 --> 00:59:59,600
Speaker 13: come to play.

1187
01:00:00,280 --> 01:00:01,160
Speaker 3: Sauce Gardener.

1188
01:00:01,440 --> 01:00:02,960
Speaker 13: Those guys are going to put them to play and

1189
01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:05,480
Speaker 13: just say, hey, look our season hasn't been going away

1190
01:00:05,880 --> 01:00:07,120
Speaker 13: that we thought it should be going.

1191
01:00:07,440 --> 01:00:09,160
Speaker 3: So yeah, we still have a lot to play for.

1192
01:00:09,480 --> 01:00:12,200
Speaker 13: They got bonuses and all this type of thing incentives

1193
01:00:12,240 --> 01:00:14,600
Speaker 13: and their contract, so yeah, I mean an opportunity for

1194
01:00:14,640 --> 01:00:17,120
Speaker 13: them to come out here and you know, Rick have

1195
01:00:17,320 --> 01:00:20,320
Speaker 13: it and having the builds to play that last game

1196
01:00:20,480 --> 01:00:24,280
Speaker 13: is something that those teams look forward to, especially when

1197
01:00:24,280 --> 01:00:25,280
Speaker 13: you're out of the playoffs.

1198
01:00:26,480 --> 01:00:29,560
Speaker 2: Last week, we heard Josh after the game say the

1199
01:00:29,600 --> 01:00:32,880
Speaker 2: team is in a tricky spot and gave indication that

1200
01:00:33,680 --> 01:00:36,640
Speaker 2: they were leaving some things in the bag scheme wise

1201
01:00:36,920 --> 01:00:41,040
Speaker 2: and stuff like that. Do you remember there ever being

1202
01:00:41,080 --> 01:00:44,560
Speaker 2: a time where you guys down the stretch if you

1203
01:00:44,600 --> 01:00:47,840
Speaker 2: had your seed locked up, where the coaches in a

1204
01:00:47,840 --> 01:00:50,280
Speaker 2: given week, getting ready for a game plan, said hey,

1205
01:00:50,320 --> 01:00:53,120
Speaker 2: look we're gonna bear bones this one because we want

1206
01:00:53,120 --> 01:00:54,920
Speaker 2: to save some of our stuff for the playoffs. Do you

1207
01:00:54,880 --> 01:00:57,840
Speaker 2: ever remember a time taking that approach. This is a

1208
01:00:57,840 --> 01:01:00,600
Speaker 2: difficult needle to thread here because you're trying. You want

1209
01:01:00,640 --> 01:01:03,160
Speaker 2: your team to get healthy, you want them to be rested,

1210
01:01:03,200 --> 01:01:05,800
Speaker 2: but you got to win this game this week. Yeah,

1211
01:01:05,840 --> 01:01:06,800
Speaker 2: they kind of go in.

1212
01:01:07,720 --> 01:01:11,120
Speaker 13: I think it's a difference with with this football team

1213
01:01:11,160 --> 01:01:15,080
Speaker 13: than it is with ours because we had a lot

1214
01:01:15,160 --> 01:01:16,440
Speaker 13: of plays, but we didn't run a.

1215
01:01:16,440 --> 01:01:17,000
Speaker 1: Lot of plays.

1216
01:01:17,080 --> 01:01:21,600
Speaker 13: We ran the same place almost we ran a good point.

1217
01:01:21,680 --> 01:01:24,880
Speaker 3: Yeah. So with this right here, you have all type

1218
01:01:24,880 --> 01:01:27,520
Speaker 3: of things that they're doing on offense right now that

1219
01:01:27,760 --> 01:01:28,160
Speaker 3: really in.

1220
01:01:28,520 --> 01:01:30,560
Speaker 13: So we didn't have to really worry about Okay, well

1221
01:01:30,680 --> 01:01:32,320
Speaker 13: let's put back a troll back in the gym.

1222
01:01:32,400 --> 01:01:33,920
Speaker 3: No, we don't need to do that because we never

1223
01:01:33,960 --> 01:01:34,600
Speaker 3: did that and we.

1224
01:01:34,560 --> 01:01:37,040
Speaker 1: Were Yeah, a lot of our good stuff on a

1225
01:01:37,080 --> 01:01:39,360
Speaker 1: week to week basis was wrinkles off of stuff we

1226
01:01:39,400 --> 01:01:43,479
Speaker 1: did really well. Anyway, you know where you just add

1227
01:01:43,480 --> 01:01:45,360
Speaker 1: a wrinkle to a couple of the plays that we

1228
01:01:45,400 --> 01:01:47,760
Speaker 1: already ran really well, and if they sold out to stop,

1229
01:01:47,800 --> 01:01:49,400
Speaker 1: which they did have to sell out. I mean, you

1230
01:01:49,480 --> 01:01:52,000
Speaker 1: got the biggest and baddest offensive line, you got a

1231
01:01:52,040 --> 01:01:53,840
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame quarterback, hall of Fame running back in

1232
01:01:53,840 --> 01:01:56,959
Speaker 1: all two Hall of Fame wideouts. They had to sell

1233
01:01:57,000 --> 01:01:58,920
Speaker 1: out to stop some of those matchups. And when you

1234
01:01:59,080 --> 01:02:02,400
Speaker 1: sell out, the wrinkle takes advantage of it, and you're

1235
01:02:02,480 --> 01:02:04,440
Speaker 1: now you're off and running, and you're you're snapping off

1236
01:02:04,440 --> 01:02:07,880
Speaker 1: big plays right and left. This is this In this

1237
01:02:07,960 --> 01:02:10,360
Speaker 1: day and age, teams have got to take big sections

1238
01:02:10,360 --> 01:02:12,240
Speaker 1: of their playbook and lay it over here for the day.

1239
01:02:12,880 --> 01:02:15,920
Speaker 1: You know, whether it be personnel combination.

1240
01:02:15,960 --> 01:02:18,160
Speaker 2: I'm just wondering if this week because you need to win,

1241
01:02:18,320 --> 01:02:20,800
Speaker 2: is any different than last week, and if last week

1242
01:02:20,880 --> 01:02:23,080
Speaker 2: keeping things in the bag was predicated more on the

1243
01:02:23,120 --> 01:02:25,680
Speaker 2: fact that you have to play that team again next

1244
01:02:25,720 --> 01:02:28,680
Speaker 2: week next week, or if it was more predicated on

1245
01:02:29,160 --> 01:02:31,680
Speaker 2: holding stuff back and keeping it under the vest to

1246
01:02:31,800 --> 01:02:34,560
Speaker 2: use in the postseason. I'm wondering what the motivation was

1247
01:02:34,880 --> 01:02:36,200
Speaker 2: if they were holding it back.

1248
01:02:36,640 --> 01:02:42,520
Speaker 13: Any theories, I don't have any, You have any.

1249
01:02:41,160 --> 01:02:43,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I think it's you gotta let it all

1250
01:02:43,360 --> 01:02:45,240
Speaker 2: hang out this week. You want to win this football game.

1251
01:02:45,280 --> 01:02:47,600
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously, if you get up early, you know

1252
01:02:47,640 --> 01:02:48,160
Speaker 2: you can take it.

1253
01:02:48,320 --> 01:02:52,520
Speaker 13: I think you have to play well in this football Yeah,

1254
01:02:52,640 --> 01:02:53,960
Speaker 13: you don't want to go two weeks in a row

1255
01:02:54,040 --> 01:02:54,760
Speaker 13: not playing well.

1256
01:02:54,840 --> 01:02:55,040
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1257
01:02:55,120 --> 01:02:56,800
Speaker 13: I did think all of a sudden, you can, which

1258
01:02:56,840 --> 01:02:59,400
Speaker 13: I think they could, but it would be a much more.

1259
01:02:59,280 --> 01:03:01,600
Speaker 3: Struggle if not a game you want to play, not

1260
01:03:01,640 --> 01:03:03,320
Speaker 3: a game that you want to play. Yeah. So yeah,

1261
01:03:03,360 --> 01:03:06,800
Speaker 3: I'm I'm all in calling them all in with this

1262
01:03:06,920 --> 01:03:07,720
Speaker 3: game here and.

1263
01:03:08,120 --> 01:03:10,880
Speaker 13: Hopefully we can jump out to that fourteen and nothing

1264
01:03:10,960 --> 01:03:12,680
Speaker 13: league instead of New England jumping out.

1265
01:03:12,560 --> 01:03:13,280
Speaker 3: Of North to Fortuit.

1266
01:03:13,400 --> 01:03:13,560
Speaker 14: Yeah.

1267
01:03:13,600 --> 01:03:16,080
Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean, because I think with with that last

1268
01:03:16,160 --> 01:03:18,720
Speaker 13: week with New England kind of scared me a little bit.

1269
01:03:19,240 --> 01:03:20,680
Speaker 13: It kind of scared me a little bit that we

1270
01:03:21,280 --> 01:03:23,240
Speaker 13: that we got behind and then we had to turn

1271
01:03:23,280 --> 01:03:23,520
Speaker 13: it on.

1272
01:03:24,400 --> 01:03:26,520
Speaker 1: This is the ability to turn it on is impressive.

1273
01:03:26,920 --> 01:03:29,560
Speaker 1: It is as impressive it is exact it.

1274
01:03:29,760 --> 01:03:32,160
Speaker 13: Was because you know, it ain't easy, but sometimes it

1275
01:03:32,320 --> 01:03:33,280
Speaker 13: just don't work that way.

1276
01:03:33,440 --> 01:03:34,480
Speaker 3: That's right, it doesn't work.

1277
01:03:34,680 --> 01:03:36,120
Speaker 1: It doesn't work that way a lot of times, and

1278
01:03:36,120 --> 01:03:40,840
Speaker 1: that's why you come out flight you lose. Yeah, Bills

1279
01:03:40,840 --> 01:03:43,200
Speaker 1: didn't let that happen last week and James Cook made

1280
01:03:43,200 --> 01:03:44,720
Speaker 1: a big you know it was a big part of that.

1281
01:03:44,960 --> 01:03:47,480
Speaker 1: But I'm with you. You want to do that in

1282
01:03:47,480 --> 01:03:49,400
Speaker 1: the reverse. You want to take the second half off,

1283
01:03:49,400 --> 01:03:53,160
Speaker 1: not the first half off. Right, So you know, you

1284
01:03:53,280 --> 01:03:58,160
Speaker 1: just this whole how much you really have to do

1285
01:03:58,280 --> 01:03:59,760
Speaker 1: to win. You know that you want to do just

1286
01:03:59,800 --> 01:04:03,080
Speaker 1: to barely enough to right. But if you do that,

1287
01:04:03,160 --> 01:04:05,240
Speaker 1: even if you do, if you knew exactly that, you're

1288
01:04:05,280 --> 01:04:07,680
Speaker 1: still risking one play going wrong and you lose.

1289
01:04:09,520 --> 01:04:11,600
Speaker 13: You want to be smiling walking up to the football field,

1290
01:04:11,800 --> 01:04:14,560
Speaker 13: but smiling and playing well.

1291
01:04:14,720 --> 01:04:17,320
Speaker 1: The players know. It's not like the coaches can do

1292
01:04:17,360 --> 01:04:19,640
Speaker 1: this too, because you figure like the coaches are gonna

1293
01:04:19,640 --> 01:04:21,680
Speaker 1: get your but they're gonna say, I We're only gonna

1294
01:04:21,760 --> 01:04:28,440
Speaker 1: use this much though. Players know they you know, if

1295
01:04:28,480 --> 01:04:29,840
Speaker 1: you're not going to give us what we need to win,

1296
01:04:29,880 --> 01:04:32,520
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, the players know.

1297
01:04:32,640 --> 01:04:34,840
Speaker 1: So as soon as they know you're like not really

1298
01:04:34,840 --> 01:04:36,760
Speaker 1: going full speed, they're like, on the ringing guns, I

1299
01:04:36,760 --> 01:04:38,160
Speaker 1: ain't gonna go you know what I mean?

1300
01:04:38,480 --> 01:04:39,920
Speaker 13: You know it from the first day that they walk,

1301
01:04:41,000 --> 01:04:42,720
Speaker 13: when they first walk into the mean, they know the

1302
01:04:42,720 --> 01:04:43,240
Speaker 13: players on it.

1303
01:04:43,320 --> 01:04:45,480
Speaker 3: It's like, Okay, we're going for it. Yeah we're not.

1304
01:04:46,720 --> 01:04:49,920
Speaker 3: You're looking at the sheet going like okay, well yeah,

1305
01:04:49,920 --> 01:04:51,040
Speaker 3: there's no play so much.

1306
01:04:51,120 --> 01:04:54,760
Speaker 1: There's so much into preparation that if you're not, if

1307
01:04:54,760 --> 01:04:58,040
Speaker 1: you're not fully one thousand percent, we got to win

1308
01:04:58,080 --> 01:05:02,120
Speaker 1: this game. The players f feel it. Yeah, they feel it,

1309
01:05:02,160 --> 01:05:04,640
Speaker 1: they know it, they can see it. They're like and

1310
01:05:04,680 --> 01:05:07,320
Speaker 1: they start looking sideways. You's okay, cool man, I'm okay.

1311
01:05:07,160 --> 01:05:11,160
Speaker 3: I'm ready. Yeah, yeah, keep the same rotation. We have

1312
01:05:11,240 --> 01:05:11,600
Speaker 3: to do it.

1313
01:05:12,120 --> 01:05:14,560
Speaker 13: If we have to use James a little bit more,

1314
01:05:14,760 --> 01:05:16,720
Speaker 13: or we have to use Rail a little bit more.

1315
01:05:17,000 --> 01:05:17,520
Speaker 3: Let's do it.

1316
01:05:18,560 --> 01:05:22,320
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I I think it's a they You

1317
01:05:22,440 --> 01:05:23,960
Speaker 1: gotta kind of go for it. You got to tell

1318
01:05:24,000 --> 01:05:26,160
Speaker 1: them up front, say listen, we're gonna win this game.

1319
01:05:26,360 --> 01:05:28,280
Speaker 1: You're gonna play and you're gonna play hard, more full,

1320
01:05:28,320 --> 01:05:30,880
Speaker 1: we're gonna go full game plan. Let's go. And that's

1321
01:05:30,920 --> 01:05:35,680
Speaker 1: how you get them to show up sharp. Yeah. I

1322
01:05:35,720 --> 01:05:37,600
Speaker 1: don't know when you pull the plug on that at once,

1323
01:05:37,640 --> 01:05:39,280
Speaker 1: you you know, but I will.

1324
01:05:39,320 --> 01:05:42,080
Speaker 13: I will say this about this football team, even though

1325
01:05:42,120 --> 01:05:44,680
Speaker 13: they're right now they're fighting for that the number two

1326
01:05:44,720 --> 01:05:50,840
Speaker 13: seeds whatever, But I think even with this football team,

1327
01:05:51,000 --> 01:05:52,800
Speaker 13: I think they're at a point now where they don't

1328
01:05:52,800 --> 01:05:54,680
Speaker 13: really care where they play. They will love to play

1329
01:05:54,680 --> 01:05:57,480
Speaker 13: at home, sure, but if we got to go on

1330
01:05:57,520 --> 01:06:00,919
Speaker 13: the road, that's fine too, because I I think they're

1331
01:06:01,000 --> 01:06:02,600
Speaker 13: kind of built for that way too.

1332
01:06:02,680 --> 01:06:04,480
Speaker 3: Now that they play well at home.

1333
01:06:04,600 --> 01:06:05,960
Speaker 2: They're unbeaten at home though.

1334
01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:08,680
Speaker 3: I get it, I get it.

1335
01:06:08,760 --> 01:06:11,040
Speaker 13: No, I'm just saying the mindset, Yeah, we don't care

1336
01:06:11,080 --> 01:06:11,680
Speaker 13: where we play.

1337
01:06:11,760 --> 01:06:12,320
Speaker 1: That's I think.

1338
01:06:12,320 --> 01:06:14,800
Speaker 13: We know we're a damn good football team and we're

1339
01:06:14,800 --> 01:06:17,560
Speaker 13: ready to play. We can go ahead ahead with everybody. Yes,

1340
01:06:17,600 --> 01:06:19,280
Speaker 13: we would love to be at home, but if we

1341
01:06:19,320 --> 01:06:21,120
Speaker 13: gotta go on the road, so be it.

1342
01:06:21,200 --> 01:06:22,400
Speaker 1: Fans, we feel like we can.

1343
01:06:22,560 --> 01:06:23,400
Speaker 3: We can go in there and win.

1344
01:06:23,560 --> 01:06:26,480
Speaker 1: Fans don't believe that, but I know you're right, they're like,

1345
01:06:27,240 --> 01:06:31,680
Speaker 1: because I feel that, well, this team will go anywhere

1346
01:06:31,760 --> 01:06:35,720
Speaker 1: and play anybody and win. You feel right into Detroit

1347
01:06:36,280 --> 01:06:39,480
Speaker 1: and kicked him in the teeth, right, I mean kicked

1348
01:06:39,520 --> 01:06:40,160
Speaker 1: him in the teeth.

1349
01:06:40,360 --> 01:06:44,880
Speaker 13: Yeah, And that started from the first game, first snap

1350
01:06:44,880 --> 01:06:47,280
Speaker 13: of the season, right, So I'm a game with Ed Oliver,

1351
01:06:47,440 --> 01:06:47,840
Speaker 13: that's right.

1352
01:06:47,920 --> 01:06:48,160
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1353
01:06:48,200 --> 01:06:52,160
Speaker 1: So so I think you know that is that's under

1354
01:06:52,160 --> 01:06:54,120
Speaker 1: the hood, and I think if they do go on

1355
01:06:54,160 --> 01:06:56,560
Speaker 1: the road, I think they're gonna they're gonna be a

1356
01:06:56,680 --> 01:06:58,560
Speaker 1: really tough team to beat. Even if they are on

1357
01:06:58,600 --> 01:07:01,800
Speaker 1: the road, it better if they're at home, no question,

1358
01:07:01,920 --> 01:07:03,600
Speaker 1: or nobody's saying it's not on it.

1359
01:07:03,640 --> 01:07:07,640
Speaker 2: But if that doesn't always guarantee anything either. Absolutely, as

1360
01:07:07,640 --> 01:07:09,840
Speaker 2: we just witnessed last season, that's right season.

1361
01:07:09,880 --> 01:07:13,360
Speaker 1: So I'm I'm totally.

1362
01:07:14,600 --> 01:07:14,960
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1363
01:07:15,280 --> 01:07:17,920
Speaker 1: This team is a little bit. There's a couple of

1364
01:07:17,960 --> 01:07:19,960
Speaker 1: teams like this. Kansas City certainly is like this. I

1365
01:07:20,000 --> 01:07:23,200
Speaker 1: know this team is like this. I imagine Baltimore's a

1366
01:07:23,240 --> 01:07:25,400
Speaker 1: little bit like this because of what they've been through

1367
01:07:25,400 --> 01:07:27,640
Speaker 1: in the postseason with Lamar winning one game and is

1368
01:07:27,680 --> 01:07:31,240
Speaker 1: in a whole career in playoffs. You know, Detroit's kind

1369
01:07:31,240 --> 01:07:35,400
Speaker 1: of like this. Philly, these teams are like going to

1370
01:07:36,160 --> 01:07:39,480
Speaker 1: just get us in right, Please, I'm tired of playing

1371
01:07:40,000 --> 01:07:44,000
Speaker 1: the Patriots at three and eleven in Week four point fifteen.

1372
01:07:44,520 --> 01:07:46,960
Speaker 1: Give me a team, give me a game that means something,

1373
01:07:47,120 --> 01:07:49,760
Speaker 1: and I think all these teams are in that boat

1374
01:07:50,040 --> 01:07:52,480
Speaker 1: home or away. Just get me to the stinking playoffs

1375
01:07:52,480 --> 01:07:56,800
Speaker 1: so I can stop playing the three and twelve Jets.

1376
01:07:58,200 --> 01:08:02,360
Speaker 1: Just give me a good team like the Detroit game

1377
01:08:02,400 --> 01:08:02,720
Speaker 1: we saw.

1378
01:08:03,120 --> 01:08:05,400
Speaker 13: Yeah, I don't like to like go back, but god,

1379
01:08:05,440 --> 01:08:07,000
Speaker 13: I think I said it last week. I would love

1380
01:08:07,040 --> 01:08:09,680
Speaker 13: to play Houston over again. If it's the one game

1381
01:08:09,720 --> 01:08:12,320
Speaker 13: out of the season, I would love to have back.

1382
01:08:12,920 --> 01:08:20,080
Speaker 1: And if we said it's.

1383
01:08:17,240 --> 01:08:19,760
Speaker 3: Still means the same, they will still be the same.

1384
01:08:20,640 --> 01:08:22,639
Speaker 1: I'm with you, I'm with you, but.

1385
01:08:22,640 --> 01:08:26,560
Speaker 13: You know I'm I'm I'm very confident in this football team.

1386
01:08:26,640 --> 01:08:27,479
Speaker 3: I'm very confident.

1387
01:08:28,160 --> 01:08:30,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just I think a lot of and we

1388
01:08:30,720 --> 01:08:33,080
Speaker 2: know how fans think, they think differently than players, but

1389
01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:36,160
Speaker 2: I think they're just saying, let's just get the two.

1390
01:08:37,320 --> 01:08:41,200
Speaker 2: So in the divisional playoff, if we're playing Baltimore, it's here,

1391
01:08:41,240 --> 01:08:44,000
Speaker 2: not in Baltimore. I got it, Yes, And I think

1392
01:08:44,000 --> 01:08:47,120
Speaker 2: anybody would take I want to take that, like, let's let's.

1393
01:08:46,960 --> 01:08:48,080
Speaker 3: Play them here. Yeah.

1394
01:08:48,120 --> 01:08:50,200
Speaker 2: I don't want to go absolute Baltimore and playing that

1395
01:08:50,880 --> 01:08:57,680
Speaker 2: team again. Yeah, absolutely, fans, Sorry, all right, But.

1396
01:08:59,479 --> 01:09:02,280
Speaker 3: I tell you what the top three teams in each

1397
01:09:02,400 --> 01:09:07,880
Speaker 3: league or I think fantastic and clear cut. It is

1398
01:09:08,040 --> 01:09:09,160
Speaker 3: pretty clear cut.

1399
01:09:09,200 --> 01:09:13,200
Speaker 1: It's Kansas City, Buffalo, and Baltimore. And in the NFC

1400
01:09:13,360 --> 01:09:17,920
Speaker 1: it's Detroit, Philly and Minnesota and Minnesota. All of those

1401
01:09:17,960 --> 01:09:19,280
Speaker 1: have twelve and thirteen.

1402
01:09:18,920 --> 01:09:22,360
Speaker 13: Wins, all the top three seats right there in Kansas

1403
01:09:22,360 --> 01:09:23,080
Speaker 13: City with fourteen.

1404
01:09:23,200 --> 01:09:26,360
Speaker 1: So you know Baltimore. Now, so I'll say this about Baltimore.

1405
01:09:26,400 --> 01:09:26,760
Speaker 2: They lost.

1406
01:09:27,080 --> 01:09:33,120
Speaker 1: You know, they're ten and eleven and five, and if

1407
01:09:33,120 --> 01:09:36,560
Speaker 1: you you know, they struggled out of the gate this

1408
01:09:36,640 --> 01:09:38,599
Speaker 1: year a little bit. They got beat by Kansas City,

1409
01:09:38,720 --> 01:09:40,400
Speaker 1: which is not a struggle. But remember the guy had

1410
01:09:40,439 --> 01:09:44,160
Speaker 1: his toe on the line right week two, they got

1411
01:09:44,200 --> 01:09:47,519
Speaker 1: their heads handed to him by the Raiders, So there's

1412
01:09:47,560 --> 01:09:50,200
Speaker 1: that one of them. Then they got beat by the

1413
01:09:50,240 --> 01:09:54,120
Speaker 1: Browns in week eight, so then they then they you know,

1414
01:09:54,160 --> 01:09:56,519
Speaker 1: then they got Steelers. They got beat by a name,

1415
01:09:56,600 --> 01:10:00,920
Speaker 1: so they got those. But man, oh man, it's hurt themselves.

1416
01:10:01,240 --> 01:10:02,960
Speaker 1: These are those are all those teams we just made.

1417
01:10:02,960 --> 01:10:05,120
Speaker 1: Those half dozen teams. Super Bowling's coming out of that.

1418
01:10:05,240 --> 01:10:07,919
Speaker 13: I'm not even I'm not even worried about like Houston,

1419
01:10:08,479 --> 01:10:13,160
Speaker 13: Denver or Pitts La Denver. I'm not even not even

1420
01:10:13,200 --> 01:10:15,320
Speaker 13: remotely worried about those teams because I just think the

1421
01:10:15,320 --> 01:10:18,040
Speaker 13: top three teams and the a f C and the NFC,

1422
01:10:19,439 --> 01:10:21,719
Speaker 13: somewhere in there, you're going to see.

1423
01:10:21,560 --> 01:10:23,840
Speaker 3: Two of those teams in the Super Bowl.

1424
01:10:23,880 --> 01:10:27,360
Speaker 13: Right, I don't know which one, but yeah, obviously I

1425
01:10:27,400 --> 01:10:28,599
Speaker 13: want Hours to be there.

1426
01:10:28,880 --> 01:10:33,400
Speaker 3: But from the NFC, it's it's a toss up, I think.

1427
01:10:33,439 --> 01:10:37,040
Speaker 2: So you think any of those in the Hunt teams

1428
01:10:37,080 --> 01:10:41,080
Speaker 2: like Indie or any of those Cincinnati somehow find a

1429
01:10:41,080 --> 01:10:41,439
Speaker 2: way and.

1430
01:10:41,439 --> 01:10:45,400
Speaker 13: I think I think they're done. They're hey, hey, I

1431
01:10:45,439 --> 01:10:47,240
Speaker 13: made the playoffs. I got it, we got a nice ball.

1432
01:10:47,560 --> 01:10:49,720
Speaker 13: Fans got to see us or whatever. We Yeah, but

1433
01:10:50,280 --> 01:10:52,599
Speaker 13: I think their season there's a hard weeks ago.

1434
01:10:52,760 --> 01:10:55,240
Speaker 1: There's a hard line of demarcation. There are teams with

1435
01:10:55,280 --> 01:10:58,920
Speaker 1: eight losses and then there's teams with with six losses.

1436
01:10:59,479 --> 01:11:02,040
Speaker 1: That's the line. Now Houston's in there because of the South.

1437
01:11:02,080 --> 01:11:05,679
Speaker 1: They're nine and seven, but they're gonna win that division. Yeah,

1438
01:11:06,080 --> 01:11:09,320
Speaker 1: with Tampa Bay, right and Tampa Bay. Yeah, Tampa Bay

1439
01:11:09,400 --> 01:11:12,560
Speaker 1: is they're at the eight seed at eight and seven.

1440
01:11:13,080 --> 01:11:15,479
Speaker 13: Even as good as Green Bay has been, I just

1441
01:11:15,520 --> 01:11:21,000
Speaker 13: don't think they can handle the top three teams. I

1442
01:11:21,040 --> 01:11:23,040
Speaker 13: think they're a good football team.

1443
01:11:23,120 --> 01:11:23,760
Speaker 2: They can run it.

1444
01:11:23,960 --> 01:11:25,280
Speaker 3: They are a good football team.

1445
01:11:25,320 --> 01:11:27,439
Speaker 13: It just happened to be in the era right now

1446
01:11:27,479 --> 01:11:29,559
Speaker 13: where there are a couple other teams that are kind

1447
01:11:29,600 --> 01:11:30,599
Speaker 13: of a little bit better.

1448
01:11:30,720 --> 01:11:30,960
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1449
01:11:31,000 --> 01:11:35,519
Speaker 2: The crazy thing is they here's a really crazy one.

1450
01:11:35,560 --> 01:11:42,439
Speaker 2: If Detroit wins the division, that means that Minnesota is

1451
01:11:42,880 --> 01:11:46,360
Speaker 2: the five because the four division winners of the top fours,

1452
01:11:46,360 --> 01:11:50,519
Speaker 2: that means Minnesota at like thirteen and four or fourteen

1453
01:11:50,600 --> 01:11:54,400
Speaker 2: and three is going to be the five seed and

1454
01:11:54,479 --> 01:11:58,720
Speaker 2: have to go on the road and play probably Atlanta

1455
01:11:58,920 --> 01:12:02,000
Speaker 2: or the Ramps or Tampa Bay as a as a

1456
01:12:02,080 --> 01:12:03,160
Speaker 2: fourteen winning team.

1457
01:12:05,280 --> 01:12:10,040
Speaker 1: Come on now, yeah there right, it does seem wrong,

1458
01:12:10,720 --> 01:12:11,400
Speaker 1: seems wrong.

1459
01:12:11,720 --> 01:12:13,000
Speaker 3: But that division is tough.

1460
01:12:13,040 --> 01:12:16,639
Speaker 2: Now, well, yeah it is tough, but Atlanta is and

1461
01:12:16,840 --> 01:12:19,960
Speaker 2: the NFC South is a is a tire fire.

1462
01:12:20,240 --> 01:12:22,799
Speaker 1: I mean it's just yeah, they're all five hundred clubs,

1463
01:12:22,920 --> 01:12:23,040
Speaker 1: you know.

1464
01:12:23,120 --> 01:12:25,400
Speaker 2: I mean, Tampa is still in the hunt. They're only

1465
01:12:25,439 --> 01:12:27,960
Speaker 2: behind Atlanta right now because they beat him head to

1466
01:12:28,000 --> 01:12:30,120
Speaker 2: head the first time. I mean.

1467
01:12:30,560 --> 01:12:35,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, geez, I'm glad we're in AFC. Yeah, glad we're

1468
01:12:35,960 --> 01:12:36,439
Speaker 3: in an AFC.

1469
01:12:37,160 --> 01:12:38,760
Speaker 2: All right, ther Well, thanks for stopping by.

1470
01:12:38,760 --> 01:12:39,519
Speaker 3: I appreciate it.

1471

Speaker 2: Good to see you. Glad you're in your family at

Speaker 2: a good Christmas and uh, happy New Year to you.

1473
01:12:45,080 --> 01:12:48,400
Speaker 2: You don't see it, go Bills, Yeah, we have to

1474
01:12:48,439 --> 01:12:50,240
Speaker 2: take a break. We're getting back to your phone calls

1475
01:12:50,280 --> 01:12:52,479
Speaker 2: when we get back here. On one Bill's Live presented

1476
01:12:52,520 --> 01:13:11,920
Speaker 2: by Colidea Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio from the Coach's Office,

1477
01:13:11,960 --> 01:13:16,880
Speaker 2: presented by CfBT, the official office technology company of the

1478
01:13:16,880 --> 01:13:20,160
Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills. And what they're discussing in the coach's office

1479
01:13:20,240 --> 01:13:23,479
Speaker 2: is to how they approach this game. They need to

1480
01:13:23,560 --> 01:13:25,599
Speaker 2: win to nail down the two seed. I think that's

1481
01:13:25,640 --> 01:13:29,880
Speaker 2: pretty straightforward, and coming off of last week's game where

1482
01:13:29,920 --> 01:13:34,760
Speaker 2: in coach McDermott's words, the first half was sloppy and

1483
01:13:34,800 --> 01:13:37,880
Speaker 2: in Josh Allen's words, they were not ready to play

1484
01:13:37,920 --> 01:13:41,880
Speaker 2: in the first half, I would anticipate that they're formulating

1485
01:13:41,880 --> 01:13:44,599
Speaker 2: a way to get these guys to put their level

1486
01:13:44,680 --> 01:13:46,640
Speaker 2: best out on the field on Sunday.

1487
01:13:47,000 --> 01:13:50,400
Speaker 1: The coaches have to give them enough game plan to

1488
01:13:50,479 --> 01:13:54,040
Speaker 1: win this game. You can't just go out and expect

1489
01:13:54,120 --> 01:13:59,400
Speaker 1: them to out muscle, outman outperform players on another NFL

1490
01:13:59,439 --> 01:14:01,920
Speaker 1: team without giving them the game plan they need to win.

1491
01:14:02,280 --> 01:14:04,120
Speaker 1: And by looking at the film, they're going to see

1492
01:14:04,120 --> 01:14:06,400
Speaker 1: that the Jets roster is much more talented than the

1493
01:14:08,520 --> 01:14:11,960
Speaker 1: Patriots roster and much more talented than other rosters around

1494
01:14:11,960 --> 01:14:13,559
Speaker 1: the league. You're gonna have to You're gonna have to

1495
01:14:13,560 --> 01:14:18,040
Speaker 1: give them some weapons to win this game and expect

1496
01:14:18,080 --> 01:14:20,080
Speaker 1: them to execute it. I get it enough. You get

1497
01:14:20,080 --> 01:14:21,800
Speaker 1: all the bells and whistles and the trick plays and

1498
01:14:21,840 --> 01:14:23,920
Speaker 1: all that, but you do have to give them some stuff,

1499
01:14:24,680 --> 01:14:29,160
Speaker 1: and I would expect them to do that. Yes, there

1500
01:14:29,160 --> 01:14:32,320
Speaker 1: are other there are bigger considerations on the outside. And

1501
01:14:32,560 --> 01:14:35,000
Speaker 1: you don't need to win this game ninety to nothing,

1502
01:14:36,280 --> 01:14:38,200
Speaker 1: but you gotta win it. And you've got to give

1503
01:14:38,240 --> 01:14:40,960
Speaker 1: your players enough confidence that you're giving them some enough

1504
01:14:41,000 --> 01:14:47,120
Speaker 1: weaponry and enough concepts and enough enough of a enough

1505
01:14:47,160 --> 01:14:50,280
Speaker 1: wrinkles to give the Jets problems and help them win.

1506
01:14:50,479 --> 01:14:52,160
Speaker 1: You've got to convince the players you're gonna do that,

1507
01:14:52,240 --> 01:14:53,559
Speaker 1: and the only way to do it is to actually

1508
01:14:53,600 --> 01:14:55,639
Speaker 1: do give them that those kind of game plans.

1509
01:14:55,680 --> 01:14:58,200
Speaker 2: So that is from the Coach's Office, presented by CfBT,

1510
01:14:58,360 --> 01:15:01,800
Speaker 2: the official office technology company of the Buffalo Bills. We

1511
01:15:01,920 --> 01:15:05,000
Speaker 2: pivot now to the post practice podium. Practice is wrapped

1512
01:15:05,080 --> 01:15:07,680
Speaker 2: up for the day and addressing the media now is

1513
01:15:07,840 --> 01:15:08,599
Speaker 2: Josh Allen.

1514
01:15:10,120 --> 01:15:14,000
Speaker 7: It's very cool, as I get from the old line. Yeah,

1515
01:15:14,000 --> 01:15:15,640
Speaker 7: I never I don't really have any jewelry, So that

1516
01:15:15,680 --> 01:15:16,960
Speaker 7: was that's a cool little collector item.

1517
01:15:16,960 --> 01:15:21,680
Speaker 4: I guess conversion.

1518
01:15:27,040 --> 01:15:31,040
Speaker 7: He's been awesome since you know, since the start, the

1519
01:15:31,080 --> 01:15:34,400
Speaker 7: communication that we've had, you know, the trust that we've

1520
01:15:34,400 --> 01:15:38,639
Speaker 7: built over the course of the last year. It's been awesome.

1521
01:15:38,800 --> 01:15:42,280
Speaker 7: And uh, he's he's been playing extremely should any good

1522
01:15:42,280 --> 01:15:44,559
Speaker 7: football Just happy that he's on our team.

1523
01:15:44,760 --> 01:15:48,479
Speaker 2: Any idea of why the Jets the most problem?

1524
01:15:50,520 --> 01:15:53,240
Speaker 7: I mean, I think these division games, they're always always

1525
01:15:53,240 --> 01:15:55,679
Speaker 7: gonna add a little bit more flair to it. They're

1526
01:15:55,680 --> 01:15:58,439
Speaker 7: a physical team. You know, they got a really good

1527
01:15:58,479 --> 01:16:04,719
Speaker 7: defense in terms of why they've given me fits. Again,

1528
01:16:04,760 --> 01:16:06,639
Speaker 7: I don't feel like I've protected the ball too well

1529
01:16:06,640 --> 01:16:10,840
Speaker 7: against them in the previous years, but you know, just

1530
01:16:10,840 --> 01:16:13,040
Speaker 7: making sure I'm I'm being smart with the football and

1531
01:16:13,080 --> 01:16:15,439
Speaker 7: being decisive with my decisions and where it's going, and

1532
01:16:16,040 --> 01:16:17,400
Speaker 7: just allowing our guys to make place.

1533
01:16:18,760 --> 01:16:20,400
Speaker 1: Rogers, but.

1534
01:16:22,880 --> 01:16:27,519
Speaker 10: He's one touchdown pass away from five hund Could you

1535
01:16:27,560 --> 01:16:30,200
Speaker 10: would envision yourself, would you five hundred?

1536
01:16:30,240 --> 01:16:31,439
Speaker 15: If you could you.

1537
01:16:31,400 --> 01:16:34,320
Speaker 7: Imagine what you know, what that takes beside the long

1538
01:16:35,320 --> 01:16:40,439
Speaker 7: I mean, that's a spectacular stat You know. Aaron's one

1539
01:16:40,479 --> 01:16:43,320
Speaker 7: of the if not the best to ever throw football.

1540
01:16:43,360 --> 01:16:46,000
Speaker 7: I think he's the most talented for sure, and the

1541
01:16:46,000 --> 01:16:49,400
Speaker 7: most gifted thrower of all time. The way he's been

1542
01:16:49,439 --> 01:16:51,519
Speaker 7: able to do it over the course of his career,

1543
01:16:51,560 --> 01:16:53,760
Speaker 7: it's it's been nothing but spectacular. He's been an idol

1544
01:16:53,760 --> 01:16:56,880
Speaker 7: of mine since I was a little kid, looking up

1545
01:16:56,880 --> 01:16:58,720
Speaker 7: to him and wanting to be in a position like him.

1546
01:16:58,800 --> 01:17:02,200
Speaker 7: So got a lot of love and respect for him.

1547
01:17:02,720 --> 01:17:04,800
Speaker 7: I mean, could I envision it? I mean sure, And

1548
01:17:04,880 --> 01:17:08,599
Speaker 7: you know, it's takes a lot to play in this league,

1549
01:17:08,720 --> 01:17:12,920
Speaker 7: to sustain your playing this league takes everyone around you.

1550
01:17:13,760 --> 01:17:17,040
Speaker 7: But again, year nineteen, I think he's in right now,

1551
01:17:17,200 --> 01:17:17,719
Speaker 7: you're twenty.

1552
01:17:18,080 --> 01:17:18,439
Speaker 1: Uh.

1553
01:17:18,760 --> 01:17:20,479
Speaker 7: It's a lot of football, and he's seen a lot

1554
01:17:20,479 --> 01:17:24,439
Speaker 7: of things, and you know, he's always evolved his game.

1555
01:17:24,520 --> 01:17:26,880
Speaker 7: But yeah, he's he's one of the best to ever

1556
01:17:26,920 --> 01:17:27,160
Speaker 7: do it.

1557
01:17:29,280 --> 01:17:31,800
Speaker 3: Last thing, Aaron isn't sure.

1558
01:17:32,000 --> 01:17:35,479
Speaker 4: He's actually started to say he's not sure about what Yeah,

1559
01:17:35,600 --> 01:17:39,479
Speaker 4: twenty one, Mike, whether it's continues on a does.

1560
01:17:40,800 --> 01:17:43,240
Speaker 10: What might this be maybe the last what?

1561
01:17:43,240 --> 01:17:44,360
Speaker 3: What what might this being to you?

1562
01:17:44,439 --> 01:17:46,400
Speaker 2: Maybe the last time going had.

1563
01:17:46,200 --> 01:17:47,200
Speaker 1: To head against him?

1564
01:17:47,520 --> 01:17:49,679
Speaker 10: Potentially you know what.

1565
01:17:49,520 --> 01:17:50,920
Speaker 3: What what like that mean?

1566
01:17:50,960 --> 01:17:51,240
Speaker 1: To you?

1567
01:17:52,160 --> 01:17:54,680
Speaker 7: Again? I'm just just trying to do my job and

1568
01:17:54,720 --> 01:17:56,519
Speaker 7: try to help our team win a football game. That's

1569
01:17:57,120 --> 01:18:00,360
Speaker 7: that's all I can really boil it down to. You know,

1570
01:18:00,400 --> 01:18:02,680
Speaker 7: it's still a real feeling being in the position I

1571
01:18:02,680 --> 01:18:04,920
Speaker 7: am and playing against you know, a guy with his

1572
01:18:05,000 --> 01:18:08,880
Speaker 7: caliber and a guy that I, like I said, I

1573
01:18:08,920 --> 01:18:10,320
Speaker 7: looked up to. But at the end of the day,

1574
01:18:10,320 --> 01:18:21,120
Speaker 7: we're just trying to win football game. I mean, I

1575
01:18:21,120 --> 01:18:24,439
Speaker 7: think we're still learning each other and that's that takes reps.

1576
01:18:24,439 --> 01:18:28,280
Speaker 7: And you know, we've the type of offense that we've

1577
01:18:28,280 --> 01:18:30,960
Speaker 7: been running that everybody eats, type of type of deal.

1578
01:18:31,400 --> 01:18:34,200
Speaker 7: You know, sometimes you get more opportunities than than than

1579
01:18:34,240 --> 01:18:39,559
Speaker 7: other guys based on the game, you know. And uh again,

1580
01:18:39,640 --> 01:18:40,960
Speaker 7: just trying to find more ways to get him to

1581
01:18:40,960 --> 01:18:43,559
Speaker 7: the football because he's such a dynamic playmaker for us

1582
01:18:43,600 --> 01:18:46,920
Speaker 7: and you know, I gotta be better for him. But yeah,

1583
01:18:46,920 --> 01:18:48,600
Speaker 7: we're just I think every day we're still getting more

1584
01:18:48,640 --> 01:18:51,200
Speaker 7: comfortable with each other, and you know, hopefully it starts

1585
01:18:51,200 --> 01:18:52,160
Speaker 7: paying division on the field.

1586
01:18:52,400 --> 01:18:54,960
Speaker 16: Josh, after you guys wrapped up the division, you guys

1587
01:18:55,000 --> 01:18:57,360
Speaker 16: made it no Now you guys were chasing the number

1588
01:18:57,400 --> 01:18:57,920
Speaker 16: one scene.

1589
01:18:58,200 --> 01:18:59,880
Speaker 1: Now with that specific.

1590
01:18:59,560 --> 01:19:02,760
Speaker 16: Goals out of reach, how does that maybe you recalibrate

1591
01:19:02,960 --> 01:19:05,000
Speaker 16: the way you guys approach or think about these last

1592
01:19:05,000 --> 01:19:06,960
Speaker 16: two weeks, especially in the context of what you say

1593
01:19:06,960 --> 01:19:08,760
Speaker 16: after they pass. You guys are sort of pulling the

1594
01:19:08,760 --> 01:19:09,760
Speaker 16: line between.

1595
01:19:09,760 --> 01:19:11,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think locking up the two seed is the

1596
01:19:12,280 --> 01:19:15,720
Speaker 7: number one priority and that that all that does is

1597
01:19:15,760 --> 01:19:21,040
Speaker 7: guarantee us two playoff games, you know, and again you

1598
01:19:21,080 --> 01:19:23,280
Speaker 7: gotta gotta win the first one to get the second one.

1599
01:19:23,320 --> 01:19:25,599
Speaker 7: So that's all we're caring about is going out there

1600
01:19:25,640 --> 01:19:27,719
Speaker 7: this week and just trying to play good sound football

1601
01:19:27,760 --> 01:19:30,280
Speaker 7: and our type of brand that that we know how

1602
01:19:30,280 --> 01:19:33,560
Speaker 7: we can play.

1603
01:19:31,040 --> 01:19:31,639
Speaker 1: What would.

1604
01:19:33,800 --> 01:19:34,200
Speaker 3: Give you.

1605
01:19:37,720 --> 01:19:41,720
Speaker 7: Lock up the Sea this week, guys, Yeah, I mean

1606
01:19:41,720 --> 01:19:44,160
Speaker 7: I think that's a huge plus when things are locked down.

1607
01:19:44,160 --> 01:19:47,240
Speaker 7: And obviously haven't talked about that at all with coach

1608
01:19:47,280 --> 01:19:51,160
Speaker 7: McDermott or coach Brady, and you know, we're just we're

1609
01:19:51,160 --> 01:19:53,599
Speaker 7: focused on this week right now, Sunday one o'clock.

1610
01:19:54,439 --> 01:19:54,679
Speaker 9: Josh.

1611
01:19:54,760 --> 01:19:56,639
Speaker 14: The defense has done a great job where of courcing

1612
01:19:56,680 --> 01:19:59,000
Speaker 14: takeaway is all season long. You know how much energy

1613
01:19:59,040 --> 01:20:02,120
Speaker 14: is they the sideline, especially you know he's give a

1614
01:20:02,400 --> 01:20:03,800
Speaker 14: field or sometimes you do the scoring.

1615
01:20:04,400 --> 01:20:06,479
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean that's a huge help when you can

1616
01:20:06,720 --> 01:20:08,919
Speaker 7: you know, flip the field in that fashion with a turnover,

1617
01:20:09,000 --> 01:20:12,719
Speaker 7: and I know we had one this last week and uh,

1618
01:20:13,120 --> 01:20:14,800
Speaker 7: you know, I think we only got three points from it,

1619
01:20:14,800 --> 01:20:18,320
Speaker 7: so we got to be better. But you know, when

1620
01:20:18,320 --> 01:20:21,599
Speaker 7: when our defense can force turnovers and on offense we're

1621
01:20:21,640 --> 01:20:24,519
Speaker 7: we're holding onto the football, that's typically a good recipe

1622
01:20:24,560 --> 01:20:25,080
Speaker 7: for success.

1623
01:20:25,360 --> 01:20:28,080
Speaker 2: There's a report that came out last week.

1624
01:20:28,040 --> 01:20:30,440
Speaker 8: That you were playing with the broken left hand.

1625
01:20:31,320 --> 01:20:31,559
Speaker 11: Au.

1626
01:20:32,600 --> 01:20:36,639
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, it's it's the left one, So don't don't

1627
01:20:36,640 --> 01:20:37,559
Speaker 7: really matter all that much.

1628
01:20:39,640 --> 01:20:42,400
Speaker 2: Shoulder and were hello, just a little.

1629
01:20:42,160 --> 01:20:46,040
Speaker 7: Sore from this last game. Again, probably took too many,

1630
01:20:46,280 --> 01:20:48,960
Speaker 7: too many opportunities for them to lay their hands and

1631
01:20:49,000 --> 01:20:51,720
Speaker 7: pads on me. So it's gotta be smarter and make

1632
01:20:51,760 --> 01:20:53,760
Speaker 7: sure that we're we're rolling here.

1633
01:20:53,960 --> 01:20:56,120
Speaker 2: Bosh, you guys have a chance to finish out the

1634
01:20:56,160 --> 01:20:58,519
Speaker 2: field where you season at home over that.

1635
01:21:00,040 --> 01:21:02,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think that's a precedent that coach Coach sets

1636
01:21:02,320 --> 01:21:05,240
Speaker 7: early on from everybody that gets here of defending our

1637
01:21:05,280 --> 01:21:08,639
Speaker 7: dirt and making sure that you know that that's one

1638
01:21:08,640 --> 01:21:10,320
Speaker 7: of the best ways to help yourselves get in the

1639
01:21:10,360 --> 01:21:13,880
Speaker 7: playoffs is being a good team at your home field.

1640
01:21:13,880 --> 01:21:16,519
Speaker 7: And that mean a lot because that's again one of

1641
01:21:16,560 --> 01:21:18,040
Speaker 7: our goals that we set out to do every year.

1642
01:21:18,520 --> 01:21:20,240
Speaker 16: That's where you go back and look at the film

1643
01:21:20,280 --> 01:21:24,719
Speaker 16: from about Sunday's game. What was it with the offense

1644
01:21:24,760 --> 01:21:28,400
Speaker 16: that made it that you guys weren't next to against?

1645
01:21:28,439 --> 01:21:29,960
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean I think they had a good game plan.

1646
01:21:30,920 --> 01:21:33,920
Speaker 7: You know, we'd next cute as well as we wish

1647
01:21:33,960 --> 01:21:37,479
Speaker 7: we did obviously, and a few plays that we want back.

1648
01:21:37,520 --> 01:21:39,120
Speaker 7: But again, we're just gonna keep working hard, found a

1649
01:21:39,120 --> 01:21:42,439
Speaker 7: way to win, you know, and I think those you

1650
01:21:42,520 --> 01:21:44,160
Speaker 7: learn more from those ones than you do from the

1651
01:21:44,160 --> 01:21:47,240
Speaker 7: blowout wins, and you know, this close to the playoffs,

1652
01:21:47,240 --> 01:21:49,080
Speaker 7: I think that's a good reminder of, you know, getting

1653
01:21:49,080 --> 01:21:51,000
Speaker 7: back to our process and and just getting back to

1654
01:21:51,040 --> 01:21:52,080
Speaker 7: some of the fundamental things.

1655
01:21:52,400 --> 01:21:55,519
Speaker 16: Is there an element of hipping a division game late

1656
01:21:55,560 --> 01:21:57,920
Speaker 16: in the season, those games are seemed to be tight

1657
01:21:57,960 --> 01:21:59,679
Speaker 16: that you guys can sort of apply.

1658
01:21:59,560 --> 01:22:01,000
Speaker 2: To this some Yeah.

1659
01:22:01,040 --> 01:22:04,519
Speaker 7: I mean, I think you can look at it both ways. Right, we're, uh,

1660
01:22:04,640 --> 01:22:07,080
Speaker 7: they're the team that we're playing. They don't really have

1661
01:22:07,160 --> 01:22:09,960
Speaker 7: anything to lose, so mine as well go out and

1662
01:22:10,000 --> 01:22:13,280
Speaker 7: try to win with a bang and do something crazy

1663
01:22:13,320 --> 01:22:15,519
Speaker 7: that you haven't showed it on tape and uh again,

1664
01:22:15,560 --> 01:22:16,920
Speaker 7: we just got to be ready for everything that they

1665
01:22:16,920 --> 01:22:18,360
Speaker 7: can throw at us and just try to act as

1666
01:22:18,360 --> 01:22:18,960
Speaker 7: best as we can.

1667
01:22:20,080 --> 01:22:22,240
Speaker 14: And he's a guy that's been here with you pretty much.

1668
01:22:22,080 --> 01:22:22,920
Speaker 1: The entire Uh.

1669
01:22:23,479 --> 01:22:25,479
Speaker 10: Great, he's about to.

1670
01:22:25,439 --> 01:22:27,439
Speaker 14: Play in his one hundred game. You played in yours

1671
01:22:27,479 --> 01:22:30,519
Speaker 14: earlier this season. You know, just what does that mean?

1672
01:22:30,600 --> 01:22:33,000
Speaker 14: What have you seen out of tearing throughout you guys

1673
01:22:33,040 --> 01:22:33,880
Speaker 14: his entire careers.

1674
01:22:34,560 --> 01:22:37,280
Speaker 7: Man, he's been awesome. You know what he's done for

1675
01:22:37,320 --> 01:22:40,479
Speaker 7: this football team and the rock.

1676
01:22:40,320 --> 01:22:40,720
Speaker 3: That he is.

1677
01:22:40,760 --> 01:22:42,840
Speaker 7: He's a you know, I wouldn't say he's the most

1678
01:22:42,880 --> 01:22:44,679
Speaker 7: vocal guy, but he is a leader on this team,

1679
01:22:44,800 --> 01:22:46,639
Speaker 7: and guys look up to him. The way that he works,

1680
01:22:46,680 --> 01:22:48,439
Speaker 7: the way that he carries himself each and every day

1681
01:22:48,439 --> 01:22:50,160
Speaker 7: in this building. It's infectious.

1682
01:22:51,160 --> 01:22:51,360
Speaker 3: You know.

1683
01:22:51,400 --> 01:22:56,559
Speaker 7: He's a great teammate, a great friend, and uh you know,

1684
01:22:56,840 --> 01:22:58,280
Speaker 7: I feel like we have those type of guys in

1685
01:22:58,320 --> 01:23:01,599
Speaker 7: our locker room. And he's definitely one that helps set

1686
01:23:01,600 --> 01:23:04,080
Speaker 7: the tone when people get here of like how to

1687
01:23:04,120 --> 01:23:06,240
Speaker 7: be a Buffalo bill and got a lot of loving

1688
01:23:06,280 --> 01:23:06,960
Speaker 7: respect for Tarim.

1689
01:23:08,360 --> 01:23:10,920
Speaker 2: All Right, So that's Josh Allen addressing the media here

1690
01:23:11,479 --> 01:23:14,559
Speaker 2: and basically was asked point blank about the reports out

1691
01:23:14,600 --> 01:23:17,599
Speaker 2: there about his left hand, which as we know, he

1692
01:23:17,640 --> 01:23:20,640
Speaker 2: injured all the way back in week one, and he

1693
01:23:20,720 --> 01:23:24,799
Speaker 2: basically confirmed, yeah, a little busted up, and then admitted

1694
01:23:24,840 --> 01:23:27,799
Speaker 2: also that he probably left himself a little too exposed

1695
01:23:27,880 --> 01:23:31,720
Speaker 2: last week on some runs and long plays in the pocket,

1696
01:23:31,920 --> 01:23:34,240
Speaker 2: and uh like, guys kind of get a few too

1697
01:23:34,280 --> 01:23:37,639
Speaker 2: many hits on him last week, which makes it interesting

1698
01:23:37,680 --> 01:23:39,320
Speaker 2: to see what his approach will be this week.

1699
01:23:39,800 --> 01:23:43,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, but he also said getting the two seeds really important.

1700
01:23:43,160 --> 01:23:47,360
Speaker 1: We'll see, Uh. I know this, It's been my experience

1701
01:23:47,439 --> 01:23:50,280
Speaker 1: that players of his caliber, like the player we just

1702
01:23:50,320 --> 01:23:53,720
Speaker 1: had in last segment, Thurman and Bruce Smith and you know,

1703
01:23:53,760 --> 01:23:56,200
Speaker 1: Andre Reid and Jim Kelly and a bunch of guys

1704
01:23:56,240 --> 01:23:58,080
Speaker 1: on that in that era and the guys through the years,

1705
01:23:58,080 --> 01:24:00,599
Speaker 1: even through the drought. You have some guys out there

1706
01:24:00,640 --> 01:24:02,960
Speaker 1: who you put them on the field and they only

1707
01:24:03,000 --> 01:24:08,320
Speaker 1: have one speed and that is when what no matter what.

1708
01:24:09,360 --> 01:24:11,680
Speaker 1: Uh So, if you're gonna protect guys like that, you

1709
01:24:11,760 --> 01:24:14,040
Speaker 1: got to do it because they ain't gonna do it themselves.

1710
01:24:14,880 --> 01:24:17,439
Speaker 1: And that's that's kind of been our topic of the

1711
01:24:17,479 --> 01:24:22,679
Speaker 1: show today. They ain't protecting themselves. They won't. They're I mean,

1712
01:24:22,920 --> 01:24:25,439
Speaker 1: you know, they're gonna go win and play with a

1713
01:24:25,479 --> 01:24:27,640
Speaker 1: busted hand. They're gonna go back in and play with

1714
01:24:28,120 --> 01:24:29,800
Speaker 1: you know, with a bumped shoulder. They're gonna go back

1715
01:24:29,840 --> 01:24:33,120
Speaker 1: and play with a concussion. So if you're gonna protect them,

1716
01:24:33,640 --> 01:24:36,360
Speaker 1: you have to protect them because they know what they

1717
01:24:36,400 --> 01:24:40,120
Speaker 1: signed up for and they're certainly willing to play that price.

1718
01:24:41,240 --> 01:24:43,559
Speaker 2: Let's get back to the phone instant and people waiting patiently.

1719
01:24:43,640 --> 01:24:45,160
Speaker 2: We go out to Mike in Pittsfield.

1720
01:24:45,360 --> 01:24:49,880
Speaker 17: At first, Mike, Hey, Brownie, Hi Steve, thanks for taking

1721
01:24:49,920 --> 01:24:55,519
Speaker 17: my call. Happy holidays from Pittsfield. Steve, I am one

1722
01:24:55,520 --> 01:24:59,320
Speaker 17: of your pilgrims in a hostile land here boy Okay, okay,

1723
01:25:00,680 --> 01:25:03,240
Speaker 17: Giants and Patriots, but I grew up in Elma and

1724
01:25:03,400 --> 01:25:04,360
Speaker 17: the loyal Bills fan.

1725
01:25:04,479 --> 01:25:08,360
Speaker 15: First time call it all. I think we need to

1726
01:25:08,400 --> 01:25:12,680
Speaker 15: go go for the number two, Steve. Uh It's it

1727
01:25:12,720 --> 01:25:15,720
Speaker 15: all falls under the heading of mindset, and I think

1728
01:25:15,760 --> 01:25:19,439
Speaker 15: Thurman and Steve have gotten around to that conclusion with

1729
01:25:19,520 --> 01:25:23,680
Speaker 15: their discussion. These are professional athletes that are highly competitive.

1730
01:25:23,720 --> 01:25:26,960
Speaker 15: The coaches are highly competitive. Don't go into a game

1731
01:25:27,000 --> 01:25:29,559
Speaker 15: when there's something still to win. Don't go into a

1732
01:25:29,640 --> 01:25:31,680
Speaker 15: game with half intent to win.

1733
01:25:32,360 --> 01:25:32,960
Speaker 8: Go for it.

1734
01:25:33,080 --> 01:25:35,360
Speaker 15: That's what that's what they're made of. And then if

1735
01:25:35,360 --> 01:25:39,479
Speaker 15: we win this game, then everyone would understand the last game,

1736
01:25:39,680 --> 01:25:42,080
Speaker 15: some of the starters would get rested, and I think

1737
01:25:42,120 --> 01:25:43,880
Speaker 15: that would work out the best. So I vote for

1738
01:25:43,920 --> 01:25:47,519
Speaker 15: that that method, all right. The other thing I wanted

1739
01:25:47,520 --> 01:25:50,479
Speaker 15: to mention is Steve, you had you had mentioned a

1740
01:25:50,560 --> 01:25:53,360
Speaker 15: nice story about seeing your your game shirt with Hall

1741
01:25:53,360 --> 01:25:55,720
Speaker 15: of Famers game shirts walking through a mall when you

1742
01:25:55,720 --> 01:25:58,559
Speaker 15: were playing, and you had also mentioned you had never

1743
01:25:58,600 --> 01:26:02,519
Speaker 15: gone to Sofi Stadium. Well, last Christmas, my wife and

1744
01:26:02,560 --> 01:26:04,600
Speaker 15: I went to see our adult children in LA. We

1745
01:26:04,640 --> 01:26:07,599
Speaker 15: saw that Chargers game and I wore a Great Tasker

1746
01:26:07,880 --> 01:26:10,880
Speaker 15: game shirt in there. So your game shirt has been there.

1747
01:26:11,320 --> 01:26:13,240
Speaker 15: It's a great acclaim. I must say.

1748
01:26:13,560 --> 01:26:14,120
Speaker 1: That's nice.

1749
01:26:14,160 --> 01:26:17,000
Speaker 2: Thanks well, thanks for the call. I appreciate that.

1750
01:26:16,880 --> 01:26:20,880
Speaker 1: And thanks Mike. You're right going through the you don't

1751
01:26:20,880 --> 01:26:25,280
Speaker 1: want to go halfway. But the problem is when you

1752
01:26:25,320 --> 01:26:28,160
Speaker 1: want to win the game just for something that gets

1753
01:26:28,160 --> 01:26:30,840
Speaker 1: you a better chance to do what you really want

1754
01:26:30,840 --> 01:26:34,360
Speaker 1: to do, the mindset becomes let's gonna we're gonna win.

1755
01:26:34,400 --> 01:26:37,200
Speaker 1: We're gonna win it all costs the mindset becomes let's

1756
01:26:37,240 --> 01:26:40,200
Speaker 1: just do enough to win, you know, And there's a

1757
01:26:40,360 --> 01:26:44,120
Speaker 1: vast difference in that. And that's where you turn out

1758
01:26:44,400 --> 01:26:47,160
Speaker 1: half of halves of football like the Bills did against

1759
01:26:47,160 --> 01:26:49,559
Speaker 1: in the first half against the Patriots, Let's just try

1760
01:26:49,600 --> 01:26:51,320
Speaker 1: and do enough to win. Well, the other team's not

1761
01:26:51,360 --> 01:26:53,400
Speaker 1: doing just enough to win, They're doing all it takes

1762
01:26:53,400 --> 01:26:57,640
Speaker 1: to win. And that's that's the difference in mindset, and

1763
01:26:57,680 --> 01:27:01,240
Speaker 1: that's it shows on the field really quickly. The NFL

1764
01:27:01,360 --> 01:27:04,920
Speaker 1: has a propensity to have teams that are just in

1765
01:27:05,000 --> 01:27:09,519
Speaker 1: it to finish out the string. It exposes them very

1766
01:27:09,560 --> 01:27:12,760
Speaker 1: quickly against a team that really wants to win. And

1767
01:27:12,800 --> 01:27:15,920
Speaker 1: that's why there is a big premium put on head

1768
01:27:15,960 --> 01:27:19,920
Speaker 1: coaches who get their teams to play hard in a

1769
01:27:19,960 --> 01:27:24,960
Speaker 1: season that's lost already. It's hard to do because of

1770
01:27:25,000 --> 01:27:29,000
Speaker 1: the physical pain and the discomfort and the risk. When

1771
01:27:29,040 --> 01:27:31,559
Speaker 1: a team really does that. For a guy a head coach,

1772
01:27:31,720 --> 01:27:35,360
Speaker 1: it does mean something. But that's what you run into.

1773
01:27:35,600 --> 01:27:37,280
Speaker 1: You go from wanting to win at all, let's go,

1774
01:27:37,320 --> 01:27:40,280
Speaker 1: we're gonna win, win just like you know what, we

1775
01:27:40,320 --> 01:27:42,920
Speaker 1: need the game. But it's not it's not really that,

1776
01:27:43,439 --> 01:27:45,760
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Let's just do enough to win.

1777
01:27:46,479 --> 01:27:49,880
Speaker 1: That difference is one hundred percent of the difference, if

1778
01:27:49,880 --> 01:27:50,479
Speaker 1: you know what I mean.

1779
01:27:51,240 --> 01:27:53,400
Speaker 2: Break time for us here. When we come back, we'll

1780
01:27:53,400 --> 01:27:54,800
Speaker 2: see if we have a chance to squeeze in a

1781
01:27:54,800 --> 01:27:56,720
Speaker 2: phone call. Final segment coming your way here on one

1782
01:27:56,720 --> 01:28:12,080
Speaker 2: Bill's Live Stay with Us Dame Day mentality presented by

1783
01:28:12,160 --> 01:28:16,080
Speaker 2: Best Self, Best Self Behavioral Health, the official mental health

1784
01:28:16,120 --> 01:28:18,920
Speaker 2: partner of the Buffalo Bills. So we talked about what

1785
01:28:18,920 --> 01:28:23,160
Speaker 2: the coaches are thinking. Players. They got to just treat

1786
01:28:23,160 --> 01:28:25,479
Speaker 2: this like any other regular season game. You gotta have it.

1787
01:28:25,760 --> 01:28:28,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, you gotta trust that your coaches will give you

1788
01:28:28,600 --> 01:28:32,439
Speaker 1: the off signal or set you down or whatever. But

1789
01:28:32,560 --> 01:28:35,840
Speaker 1: you got to go out and win a division game.

1790
01:28:35,920 --> 01:28:37,920
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the way your mind has to work.

1791
01:28:37,960 --> 01:28:40,599
Speaker 1: You got to go out and do whatever it takes

1792
01:28:40,640 --> 01:28:43,240
Speaker 1: to fuel your emotions to get into the game and

1793
01:28:43,320 --> 01:28:46,880
Speaker 1: win it and play really well in your role, whatever

1794
01:28:46,920 --> 01:28:49,519
Speaker 1: it may be. So that's yeah, you've got to dredge

1795
01:28:49,600 --> 01:28:53,519
Speaker 1: up the emotion to push hard through this game and

1796
01:28:53,680 --> 01:28:57,040
Speaker 1: beat the Jets because it's important, and that's what you

1797
01:28:57,120 --> 01:28:58,240
Speaker 1: got to get your mind or.

1798
01:28:58,240 --> 01:29:01,200
Speaker 2: I think it's easier to do that when there's a

1799
01:29:01,240 --> 01:29:04,519
Speaker 2: little dislike in there with these certain games.

1800
01:29:04,920 --> 01:29:08,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, certainly you can conjure up enough instances over the

1801
01:29:08,200 --> 01:29:10,120
Speaker 1: matchups that you've been a part of. If you've been

1802
01:29:10,160 --> 01:29:11,920
Speaker 1: a Bill for any length of time, you know that

1803
01:29:13,360 --> 01:29:15,400
Speaker 1: there's a little something in this. So yeah, it's a

1804
01:29:15,400 --> 01:29:16,320
Speaker 1: little easier that way.

1805
01:29:16,479 --> 01:29:20,759
Speaker 2: I still remember the first meeting, Dion and Michael Clemens

1806
01:29:20,840 --> 01:29:24,080
Speaker 2: were chirping pretty much wire to wire in the game

1807
01:29:24,120 --> 01:29:26,080
Speaker 2: at each other, and it spilled over to some other

1808
01:29:26,080 --> 01:29:28,840
Speaker 2: players too, So I think getting your dander up for

1809
01:29:28,880 --> 01:29:31,000
Speaker 2: this one is going to be too hard for a

1810
01:29:31,000 --> 01:29:33,679
Speaker 2: lot of these guys. That is game day mentality presented

1811
01:29:33,680 --> 01:29:37,559
Speaker 2: by Best Self Behavioral Health. That is it for us
