1
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:35,200
Speaker 1: This one Bill's Live presented by Callida Health.

2
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 2: All right, here we are on a Friday, getting ready

3
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 2: for Bill's Niners. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you. Hope

4
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,559
Speaker 2: you all had a great Thanksgiving with your families. You know,

5
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 2: my dad mentioned this in the car on the way home,

6
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,520
Speaker 2: just like we're driving home from my brother in law's house,

7
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 2: who was kind enough to host more than twenty people yesterday, which.

8
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 1: Is nothing, that's an event.

9
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 2: And he was kind of just looking at driveways as

10
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 2: we're going down the road, and you know, there's almost

11
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 2: every driveway is six to eight cars deep, and you know,

12
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 2: you kind of forget Thanksgiving isn't all encompassing American holiday.

13
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 1: It's everybody, everybody, you know.

14
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 2: I mean, Christmas is a giant holiday, but you know,

15
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 2: we do have people in the Jewish and Muslim community

16
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 2: that aren't celebrating on Christmas.

17
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving. It's everybody, yep. And I think that's.

18
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 2: Kind of lost on some people sometimes because of the

19
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 2: run up that is Christmas, you know, in the corporate

20
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 2: you know, sales thing that it is. And I was

21
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:41,839
Speaker 2: kind of I was kind of taken by that comment

22
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 2: when he said it yesterday when I was driving everybody home.

23
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: And he's right.

24
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 2: It's like it's it's everybody in this country that celebrates

25
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 2: nice Thanksgiving, which I think is a cool thing.

26
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 3: You mentioned your brother in law hosting twenty people. I

27
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 3: think that's that's a thing, right, I mean somebody's got

28
00:01:58,520 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 3: a host.

29
00:01:58,920 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's an effort.

30
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 3: And there are people who they it's we we're gonna host,

31
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 3: and there's other people.

32
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: Like I don't know, I don't want to, you know,

33
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: I pull this off.

34
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 3: I don't pull this. I don't you know, it's and

35
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 3: I don't know that there's different types of people or

36
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 3: whether it's just tradition because you know, and some people

37
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 3: they've hosted for twenty five years and they're gonna host

38
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 3: until they can't host anymore. Yeah right. And then there's

39
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:24,679
Speaker 3: others who you know, are there like professional visitors.

40
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 2: Well you have a big family obviously. My wife has

41
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 2: a big family here in Buffalo. So I think this

42
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 2: is kind of par for the course on Thanksgiving. Everybody's

43
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 2: bringing stuff, yeah right, that you don't leave it to

44
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 2: the host to kind of I mean they might have

45
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 2: the turkey, but I'm telling you, I mean warm plates

46
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 2: were coming in with every person that came through the door.

47
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 3: Think about this too. We and this is a phenomenon.

48
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 3: We've noticed that when you have we have four sons

49
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 3: and a daughter, so we have four daughters in law. Yeah,

50
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 3: and so the sons are like yeah, whenever the wives

51
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 3: want to go home for Thanksgiving, you know, they yeah, okay, hun,

52
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 3: We'll go to your place, you know whatever. So there's

53
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 3: some holidays when we're like empty, we have nobody, oh okay,

54
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:12,959
Speaker 3: and then there are others where they're all you know,

55
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 3: you kind of alternate Christmas and Thanksgiving. And this year

56
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 3: is a Thanksgiving holiday. Next year we get everybody for

57
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 3: Thanksgiving and we don't get anybody for Christmas. This year

58
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 3: we get everybody for Christmas and nobody for Thanksgiving. That

59
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 3: kind of thing. And it's and I've noticed it's the

60
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 3: dynamic betwe because we have so many sons, you know

61
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 3: how you know, God, both boys are they're like, eh, whatever, yeah,

62
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 3: where are we going for Thanksgiving? And you know they

63
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 3: leave it up to their wives.

64
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 2: Where the opposite because my wife's family is three girls, one.

65
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: Boy, right, so that makes a difference. There's three brothers

66
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: in laws.

67
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 3: So most guys are like that, They're like where are

68
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 3: we going for Thanksgiving? But okay, I'll start getting ready

69
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 3: for it, right.

70
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it was good.

71
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 2: I mean, weather wasn't great, but you're not really outside

72
00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 2: on Thanksgiving unless you're doing the football game.

73
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 3: Yeah. Pretty first, really kind of chilly, wet day has

74
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 3: been the last few days as we ramp up for

75
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 3: this storm. That And I'm telling you what, given the history,

76
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 3: the recent history of the Buffalo Bills and their football games,

77
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,039
Speaker 3: we've had a couple in the last well two or

78
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 3: three in the last ten years have been moved or postponed.

79
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 3: Last year, the playoff game got knocked back twenty four hours.

80
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 3: Within the last few years, we've had two games go

81
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 3: to Detroit to be played the whole thing. So everybody

82
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 3: is wildly anticipating some sort of event like that this weekend.

83
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,600
Speaker 3: I don't think that's gonna happen because we here in Buffalo,

84
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,279
Speaker 3: and for those of you who are listening out of state,

85
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 3: because we get calls from We've had calls from how

86
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 3: many states, forty different states, twenty different states have called

87
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:50,599
Speaker 3: our shows. So if you're listening to we can handle

88
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 3: a foot of snow, that's nothing for us. We can

89
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 3: get everything's gonna be fine if it's a foot of

90
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 3: snow when you got when you get two feet of

91
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 3: snow even then, and it depends on when it falls. Yeah,

92
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 3: if it comes early enough fast, right, if it comes

93
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 3: early enough, or if it waits you know, so we

94
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 3: can handle most of that. Yeah.

95
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 2: If it's snowing three inches an hour because of a

96
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 2: lake effect snowband, that's challenging.

97
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,239
Speaker 1: That's right, even for our crews here forgot.

98
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 3: Yes we're buttoned up with that. But you know, so

99
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 3: we know how to handle it. So don't think that

100
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 3: this game is because this in those years where we

101
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 3: have been hammered like we'd get once in a while.

102
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:37,720
Speaker 3: The government, then the municipalities, the state governor everybody, they

103
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 3: all know it is all right, here's it's coming. Get

104
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 3: ready for it. Here's what you can expect. And they

105
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 3: nail it. Most times, they nail it.

106
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: Especially from forty eight hours in.

107
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 3: Right.

108
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:51,840
Speaker 2: The models are pretty reliable and meteorologists can nail things

109
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 2: down pretty concrete.

110
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 3: But you can sit all over the all over the map,

111
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,679
Speaker 3: everybody around on all the national shows, and everybody, everybody's

112
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 3: like speculating about what's going to right. I mean, you

113
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 3: may have a game. We may have a game like

114
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,719
Speaker 3: the Indianapolis Bills game. Yeah, you know, in the snow,

115
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 3: I mean it's gonna happen. Yeah.

116
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 2: The early talk is the most persistent snowband from Lake

117
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,839
Speaker 2: Effect looks like it's gonna be way down in the

118
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 2: southern tier, almost near the Pennsylvania state line.

119
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 1: And all models are indicating.

120
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 2: It's just gonna sit there, which means they're gonna get

121
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 2: absolutely pounded. That doesn't mean we're gonna escape it here

122
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 2: in Orchard Park. Based on what we're seeing, it looks

123
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 2: like the hot the chances of snow and Orchard Park

124
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 2: really ramp up Tomorrow afternoon. There'll be over sixty five

125
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:43,160
Speaker 2: percent chance of snow. From one pm and on into

126
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 2: the evening it goes up to ninety percent chance of snow.

127
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 3: We're gonna get.

128
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: At seven pm, we're gonna get.

129
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:53,599
Speaker 2: And that carries through into Sunday, and I mean all

130
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 2: the way till noon on Sunday, you're still at sixty

131
00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 2: percent chance of snow.

132
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:00,720
Speaker 3: I heard that. I heard it probably going to stop

133
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 3: by games end. It will stop snowing.

134
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, it looks like it's going to stop by games end.

135
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 2: Pretty they're pretty confident of that. There is even a chance,

136
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 2: as we get closer to nail this down that it

137
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 2: might even taper off by the second half of the game.

138
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 2: But it looks like heavy snow during tailgating, lighter snow

139
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 2: during the game, and then possible tapering off all together,

140
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 2: if not in the second half of the game, definitely

141
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 2: by the end of the game, right.

142
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 3: We'll see. So yeah, that's it's kind of fun to

143
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 3: see all the wild speculation on the shows about what's

144
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 3: going to be like in the flow from people who

145
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 3: are living in you know, La well.

146
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 2: And I think the main issue there as to why

147
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 2: they have trouble understanding it is because they see a

148
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 2: forecast and think that applies to all of western New

149
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 2: York when that is clearly not the case. Especially when

150
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 2: you're dealing with a Lake Effect snowband, it can be

151
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 2: very narrow and I mean the north towns aren't expected

152
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 2: to get any thing this weekend. I mean, if you're

153
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 2: living north of the city, you may not see a flake, right,

154
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 2: I tell people, we could be that's hard for people

155
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 2: to grab.

156
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 3: You could be out. We could already have two and

157
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 3: a half feet on the ground, would be in a

158
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 3: wide out and you know our friends up in north

159
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 3: Tonawanda or could be mowing their lawns. Yeah, it's just

160
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 3: the way it works. So we're all right, Yeah it

161
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 3: is gonna be. You gotta be ready for it though.

162
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 1: Yep.

163
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 3: Bring some extra stuff to the game.

164
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 2: As Steve says, if you don't bring it with you,

165
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 2: you can't put it on.

166
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:32,959
Speaker 1: So make sure you bring it with you.

167
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 2: This week's game, incidentally against the forty nine ers, presented

168
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 2: by high Mark Blue Cross Blue Shield, the official healthcare

169
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 2: plan of the Buffalo Bills because life.

170
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 1: And if you're headed to.

171
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 2: The big game on Sunday night, make sure you stay

172
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 2: in your seats at halftime. Sunday Night Lights at high

173
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 2: Mark Stadium is back again with an exciting eight minute

174
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 2: drone show that you won't want to miss. The show

175
00:08:55,360 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 2: starts right at halftime, so make sure you stay in

176
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 2: your seats. The first time I ever saw a drone show,

177
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 2: Steve and I have not seen one in person yet.

178
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 2: First time I ever saw one was the Tokyo Olympics

179
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 2: back in twenty twenty. You remember when they did a

180
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 2: drone show for the ceremonies.

181
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 1: I was like, what in thee?

182
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 3: It was?

183
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 1: Cool.

184
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 3: They yes, they there's no limit to what they can.

185
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 1: Do, and people have just tried to outdo the last show.

186
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 3: There's some beauties too, I mean I've seen them. I

187
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,559
Speaker 3: saw one online where it was over in Dubai and

188
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 3: they had this for Halloween. It was a huge skeleton

189
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 3: that was climbing up a skyscraper.

190
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:34,559
Speaker 1: Oh that's cool.

191
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 3: Yeah.

192
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,959
Speaker 2: So they can do almost anything whatever they want because

193
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,079
Speaker 2: they're all computer programmed.

194
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,079
Speaker 3: And it's the best. That's pretty cool. That's wild. Yeah,

195
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 3: that's pretty good. That's coming up Sunday night halftime.

196
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:47,199
Speaker 1: I have to take my it'll be dark.

197
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 3: I wonder they'll they'll probably cut the lights in the stadium.

198
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 2: And you would think, right, or at least turn them down. Yeah,

199
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 2: at least turn them down. I would think you'd want

200
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 2: to do that.

201
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 3: How I wonder what the regulation because I don't I know,

202
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 3: you can't go lower than a thousand feet on the

203
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 3: flyover a crowded stadium. But for drones, do they have

204
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 3: to stay up so higher? They come like right down

205
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:06,959
Speaker 3: in front of us and start, you know what I mean,

206
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 3: down inside the bowl.

207
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: I am not going to pretend to know the regulations

208
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 1: for that.

209
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 3: So let's put our crack staff on that. You guys

210
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 3: find that out for us.

211
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 1: Sure.

212
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's have some production production, one more.

213
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 1: Thing for them to do.

214
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, we've taken long enough. We have to

215
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,679
Speaker 2: get to the Bill's practice updates, which are presented by

216
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 2: Lee coom your Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine and.

217
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 3: Head coach.

218
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 2: Sean McDermott addressed this on the Bill's flagship station WGR

219
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 2: five point fifty here in Buffalo about an hour ago

220
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 2: and said that tight end Dalton Kincaid has been ruled

221
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 2: out for Sunday's game against the forty nine Ers, so

222
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 2: he will miss his second game due to a knee injury.

223
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:52,959
Speaker 2: Wide receiver Keyon Coleman, linebacker mad Milano, and defensive tackle

224
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:57,199
Speaker 2: Dwayne Carter will all be listed as questionable. No word

225
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:03,679
Speaker 2: yet on the ir status of Milano and Carter. McDermott,

226
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 2: regarding Milano, said quote, this is his first week of

227
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 2: real practice, so they're taking it a day at a time,

228
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 2: making sure they are checking all the boxes mentally and medically.

229
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 2: Good news is offensive tackle Spencer Brown good to go.

230
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 1: He will start Sunday.

231
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 2: He will return to the lineup at right tackle, so

232
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:28,199
Speaker 2: that's good news because their former teammate Leonard Floyd lines

233
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 2: up over there and he's got six and a half

234
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 2: sacks on season, led the Bills in sacks last year

235
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 2: with ten and a half.

236
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 3: Leonard Floyd can go. We know that as well, so

237
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 3: it'll I'm sure there'll be some they'll tap up Leonard

238
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 3: after the game hopefully, but yeah, that's offensive lines back

239
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 3: tow one hundred percent plus. With the depth they have,

240
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 3: that'll be that's a good thing to know.

241
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 2: Speaking of O line depth, offensive tackle Tyland Grable, the

242
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 2: rookie six round pick who coming out of training camp

243
00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:00,200
Speaker 2: won the swing tackle job behind starters Dawkins and Brown,

244
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 2: remains on injured reserve, though he began practicing this week

245
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 2: and he was practicing fully. So two was Milano and Carter.

246
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 2: So these three players who's well, practice window has been

247
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 2: open a couple of weeks for Milano, first week here

248
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:21,679
Speaker 2: for Carter and for Grable practicing fully. That's obviously a

249
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 2: good sign that they're doing that and we'll just kind

250
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,199
Speaker 2: of have to see where it takes them. If you're

251
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:30,199
Speaker 2: wondering what is the deadline for the Bills to make

252
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 2: a call on Milano and Carter potentially being activated to

253
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 2: the fifty three man roster. That decision has to be

254
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 2: made by four pm tomorrow for the Sunday night game.

255
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 2: So I'm sure we'll get an answer one way or

256
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 2: the other as to whether or not Milano and Carter

257
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 2: are going to remain on injured reserve for one more

258
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 2: week or whether they will be activated to the fifty

259
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 2: three man roster.

260
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: The Bills do have one open roster spot.

261
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,680
Speaker 2: They only have fifty two players on the roster right now,

262
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 2: so there's one open spot that they could utilize. If

263
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 2: they want to activate both Milano and Carter this week,

264
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,320
Speaker 2: they would have to make a roster move to create

265
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 2: room for the second player.

266
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 3: So that's when you get down. I mean, if it's Milano,

267
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 3: you don't know whether it would be the roster spot

268
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 3: will be, you know, given up by like Joe Andresen

269
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 3: or Eddie uff and Ulo one of those guys. If

270
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 3: you gotta go linebacker for linebacker, there's nothing says they

271
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 3: got to do that. It could be a wide out,

272
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:33,199
Speaker 3: it could be a whatever. But if they're going to

273
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 3: go position for position, those are the guys you're looking at.

274
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 3: It's it's it's interesting because because you want to handle

275
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 3: this the right way, you don't want to lose any

276
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 3: of these dudes. You don't want any of these guys.

277
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 3: You want to release a guy or have him go

278
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 3: to the I R of the practice squad and then

279
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 3: lose him to another team. So it's there's a little

280
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 3: bit of that going on. You might like one of

281
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 3: the guys better, but he might be the guy you

282
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 3: like better might be the one you put on the

283
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 3: practice squad because you know other teams won't be interested

284
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 3: in him even though you like him. A guy like

285
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,679
Speaker 3: Hulaow might fall into that because they may keep him

286
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 3: on their active roster even though he hasn't been active

287
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:16,679
Speaker 3: as much as Andresen has been, because they'll keep old

288
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 3: of foeshow because he was a draft pick and other

289
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 3: teams had had a file on that guy, they might

290
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 3: like him, so he might get plucked because of his athleticism.

291
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 3: You have to consider you, so they might say I

292
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 3: don't know so, And that's just one spot, and those guys,

293
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 3: there's fifty three other guys you gotta talk have that

294
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 3: conversation about. So it's not nothing, but these are the

295
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 3: details that just you know in two weeks. You're like going, oh, yeah,

296
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 3: we lost him. You know, I was one of those

297
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 3: details one time. Man, it's a big deal. It was

298
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 3: a big deal.

299
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 2: Uh. We need to go around the NFL to give

300
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 2: you the forty nine ers injury situation, and they are

301
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 2: a mash unit right now. So around the NFL presented

302
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 2: by Kalaida Healthy, official healthcare system of the Buffalo Bills.

303
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: So it's a long list for the forty nine ers.

304
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 2: Quarterback Brock Perdy practiced on a limited basis for a

305
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 2: second straight day on Thursday, but left tackle Trent Williams,

306
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 2: left guard Aaron Banks, starting corner Diamador Lenore, and starting

307
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 2: defensive tackle Jordan Elliott, along with starting defensive end Nick

308
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 2: Bosa all did not practice for a second straight day

309
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 2: on Thursday. Starting right guard Dominic Pooney was limited, along

310
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 2: with four other backup players. So the Niners are scheduled

311
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 2: to travel today, so who they bring on their road

312
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 2: trip will involve some decision making. They did sign veteran

313
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 2: offensive lineman Cameron Irving to their practice squad, which I

314
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 2: think is an indication of how they might anticipate being

315
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 2: shorthanded at the guard position. You've got one guard limited

316
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 2: in practice with an injury, and you've got the other

317
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,479
Speaker 2: guard not practicing at all because he's in concussion protocol.

318
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 2: So Irving, a nine year veteran, played three games last

319
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 2: year for the New Orleans Saints, has not been in

320
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 2: a game this calendar year in the NFL regular season.

321
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 2: So I'm very curious to see how that injury report

322
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 2: lines up and who actually makes the trip and that

323
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:20,359
Speaker 2: kind of stuff.

324
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 3: Packs a bag and gets on the plane. Yeah, that's

325
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 3: because if they're not going to play, they won't travel them.

326
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 3: They won't make them do that. But unless it's like

327
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 3: a quarterback, sometimes they'll do that for because he's taking

328
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 3: off our ideas and stuff. But yeah, that'll be It's

329
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 3: interesting because that is a it's a long list and

330
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 3: they've got a ton of guys who are limited and

331
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 3: out and not practicing, not out, but not.

332
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 1: These aren't We're not talking about role players here.

333
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 2: We're talking about starting Moosa, Trent Williams and all Pro

334
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 2: left tackle. I saw a stat I think without Trent

335
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 2: Williams in the lineup, the forty nine ers are like

336
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 2: five and eleven or something.

337
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, and obviously there's other factors, but.

338
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 2: And perty'll be a big one because Brandon Allen last

339
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 2: week had to play against the Packers in Purdy's absence,

340
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 2: and you know, he kind of performed like he would

341
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 2: expect a backup quarterback to perform. He's kind of feeling

342
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 2: his way hasn't played in a while, getting adjusted to

343
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 2: the speed of the game, getting adjusted to the timing

344
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 2: of his receivers, who he's had all of about three

345
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 2: practices with.

346
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 1: Going into the game.

347
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 3: He looked like a guy who had the game plan

348
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 3: under his belt, but didn't have any experience running the offense.

349
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:33,640
Speaker 3: That's what he looked like. Yeah, Yeah.

350
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 2: And then there's this starting linebacker Fred Warner who's been

351
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 2: playing all season long for the forty nine Ers, revealed

352
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 2: to reporters on Wednesday he's been playing with a fractured

353
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 2: ankle that he sustained in September in the win over

354
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 2: the Patriots. So that means when the Niners play the

355
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 2: Bills on Sunday night, Warner will be playing in his

356
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 2: eighth consecutive game with the ankle injury.

357
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:58,440
Speaker 1: Here's his direct quote.

358
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,439
Speaker 2: It's something ideal with with every game, I get on

359
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,880
Speaker 2: that table before the game, get it shot up. Every

360
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 2: game just to be able to roll. But it's not

361
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 2: an excuse, it's just what it is. That's the NFL.

362
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 2: You're not gonna be healthy. You've got to go out there.

363
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 2: You've got to find ways to execute, to play at

364
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 2: a high level and to win every single week. I mean,

365
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 2: you know the mantra, Steve haven't done it for thirteen years.

366
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 1: I mean, this guy's taking a needle every week to play.

367
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, you do what you can do. Guys do that.

368
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 3: It's there are certain there's a certain level of injured

369
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 3: you have to be in order to do that, and

370
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 3: it has to be a certain type of injury. Obviously,

371
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,120
Speaker 3: they're not just gonna It's not like.

372
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 1: Well, there's certain things you can't shoot up, right.

373
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 3: Soft tissues you can't shoot up. It's got to be something,

374
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,719
Speaker 3: something that's not going to be damaged further. You can

375
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:52,199
Speaker 3: numb up just about anything. But it's how effective it

376
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 3: is is different. And they have to be convinced that

377
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 3: you're not gonna hurt it any further or you're not

378
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 3: at any greater risk, and all of that stuff, and

379
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:02,679
Speaker 3: all of this stuff, plus you gotta have a guy

380
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 3: who's willing to do it. That's not always the case,

381
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:10,479
Speaker 3: you know, and power to them. They nobody's required to

382
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 3: do that, but you know, you got the mentality. Most

383
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 3: guys have that mentality. They're gonna ask for it, say

384
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:19,359
Speaker 3: and ask if it's an option, if they can do it.

385
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 3: So it's not even something the medical team brings up sometimes.

386
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 2: Black Friday Football this afternoon, the Kansas City Chiefs square

387
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,880
Speaker 2: off against the Las Vegas Raiders. It's an Amazon game

388
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:33,360
Speaker 2: in case you're wondering, and the Chiefs will see their

389
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 2: top running back returning to the lineup. The Chiefs activated

390
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 2: Isaiah Pacheco off of injured reserve on the active roster.

391
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 2: They also activated defensive end Charles Amenahu, who tore his

392
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 2: ACL in last year's AFC title game against the Ravens.

393
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 2: The Raiders will have a healthy starting quarterback as Aidan

394
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 2: O'Connell will get the star. Kickoff, as we said, set

395
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:55,160
Speaker 2: for three pm, right after we get off the air,

396
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,880
Speaker 2: and I probably should mention that right now because we

397
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:02,439
Speaker 2: are on the air new Une to two today, but

398
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:06,199
Speaker 2: we are on MSG and the radio from noon to

399
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:11,120
Speaker 2: one one to two we are radio only and then

400
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 2: coming up at two o'clock will be Sabers pregame for

401
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 2: their three o'clock faceoff this afternoon. That's why we started

402
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 2: an hour earlier here today. Getting back to some other

403
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:28,120
Speaker 2: news and notes around the NFL. Bear's head coach Matt Eberfluse,

404
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 2: on a zoom call interview with media in Chicago this morning,

405
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 2: said it's business as usual. He did admit the operation

406
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:40,920
Speaker 2: wasn't fast enough on the final play in the bears

407
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:44,399
Speaker 2: twenty three to twenty loss to the Lions. He acknowledged

408
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 2: that calling a time out when Caleb Williams was sacked

409
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 2: was an option. He and Thomas Brown, the OC, watched

410
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 2: the last drive together this morning on film.

411
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 3: So he gets sacked with thirty three seconds now, in

412
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 3: case you missed it, and they don't get us playoff

413
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 3: until seven or six second time runs out on the

414
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 3: very next snap and they have a timeout.

415
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 1: Yeah.

416
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,159
Speaker 2: So the Bears offense is driving at the end of

417
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 2: the game, down three twenty three to twenty to the Lions,

418
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,879
Speaker 2: with thirty three seconds left, Williams get sacked with a

419
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 2: timeout At their disposal, the Bears chose to let the

420
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 2: clock run, get lined up for another play, didn't get

421
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 2: the snap off until seven seconds left, and Williams attempted

422
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 2: a long throw down the field. By the time it

423
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 2: hit the ground time it expired.

424
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:23,120
Speaker 3: It was.

425
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:29,199
Speaker 2: Horrible clock management. There is no other way to put it.

426
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 1: And here's the other thing that's not even being talked about.

427
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,120
Speaker 3: They were almost in field goal range. I mean, no, no, no, no,

428
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 3: no run on the cusp.

429
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:40,200
Speaker 2: Here's what's not even being talked about. From the time

430
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 2: of the two minute warning to that sack with thirty

431
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 2: three seconds left, they ran two plays think about that.

432
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 3: Right, Well, that's that's not quite right though, because there

433
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,880
Speaker 3: was like there were like five penalties during that Only

434
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 3: two plays counted, but they ran five or six and

435
00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 3: they had penalty penalty and both on offense defense, on

436
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,360
Speaker 3: offensive defense. There were penalties everywhere. Yes, so they're only

437
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 3: only two plays counted, but you're right that two plays

438
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 3: that counted.

439
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:09,680
Speaker 1: From two minutes to thirty three seconds.

440
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they had two timeouts when the two minute

441
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 3: warning hit, so the Bears used one of them right before.

442
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 3: And it was just a mess. And and I'll say this,

443
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 3: Brownie has been We've been talking about this all morning,

444
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 3: and I've been listening to other people, and it's it's

445
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:25,120
Speaker 3: pretty egregious.

446
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:26,199
Speaker 1: It's hard to watch.

447
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 3: It really was. It was just what was the.

448
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 1: Reaction with you and your brother's watching this thing?

449
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 3: That?

450
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 1: Were you watching this?

451
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 3: Call time out?

452
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 1: Yeah?

453
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 2: You guys, aion call it time out if you had one,

454
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:39,119
Speaker 2: that's where you use it.

455
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 3: After it, Yeah, you gotta get sacked and whatever. So anyway, so,

456
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 3: oh my gosh, there you go. And Brownie has been

457
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 3: saying that it was.

458
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 2: I thought it was a fireable offense, and apparently it's happened.

459
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 3: Mattyberflus has now been fired as the Bears head coach.

460
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 1: That according to Jonathan holy Cow, I was sucking about.

461
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 3: I was saying, this a fireable offense. You said it

462
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 3: was a fireable offense. I said, not for everybody, but

463
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 3: for a guy who has lost six straight and who

464
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 3: has been the team has been mediocre at best every

465
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:14,439
Speaker 3: single year he has been the head coach. There has

466
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 3: been no improvement. And they've got a young quarterback who

467
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 3: does show.

468
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 1: Some promise and a decent roster of talent.

469
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 3: They've got some pretty good. Yes, because of the stretch

470
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 3: therein now and the way that they have handled that

471
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 3: and that game yesterday, that yes, that for that guy

472
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 3: in that situation, fireable offense. Not for everybody, though. I mean,

473
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:35,119
Speaker 3: you're not going to fire Mike Tomlin for that, or

474
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 3: No McDermott or Andy Reid or you know, Sean mcvag Yeah,

475
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 3: there's a list guys aren't going to get fired for

476
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,119
Speaker 3: because you can chalk that and the fact that he

477
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 3: doubled down on the fact that, yeah, we there was

478
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 3: an option to call a time out. There an option

479
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 3: to call a time out. At least you could acknowledge,

480
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,239
Speaker 3: like in that situation would have been better knowing now

481
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 3: what I didn't know then, Yeah, we should have called

482
00:23:58,200 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 3: a time out.

483
00:23:58,640 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 1: Your references nothing.

484
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,399
Speaker 2: For instance eber Flus's postgame press conference where he doubled

485
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 2: down and essentially said, like the way we operated there,

486
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 2: and it's just like, holy cow.

487
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 1: He didn't just say that, did he did? He just

488
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,680
Speaker 1: say that? Yeah, like fall on the sword, buddy, they were.

489
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:19,439
Speaker 2: And what makes it so egregious is you have a

490
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 2: first year play caller and Thomas Brown as your OC

491
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 2: or maybe his second year No, no, he took over

492
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:26,879
Speaker 2: on an interim basis because they fired their O C

493
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 2: Shane Waldron a month ago. So you have a guy

494
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,439
Speaker 2: doing it for the first time halfway through the season

495
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:38,159
Speaker 2: on the fly, and you've got a rookie quarterback.

496
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 1: You're the head coach. You got to handle the clock.

497
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, you have to.

498
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 1: It was here's the best part.

499
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:52,399
Speaker 2: They've named Thomas Brown the Internet head coach, So the

500
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:57,440
Speaker 2: poor guy who had trouble getting plays in is now

501
00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 2: gonna take over clock management as well. Where it's the

502
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 2: Bears all over again, Steve.

503
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're they're not the Jets.

504
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:06,359
Speaker 1: They're not.

505
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 3: They're not the Jets. They're No, they're a different kind.

506
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 3: Oh okay, they're they're as bad as they they well, yeah,

507
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 3: they're almost exactly like the Jets, but they look a

508
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:25,639
Speaker 3: little different. They're they look like they are stuck. The

509
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 3: Jets every so often seem like, yeah, we're we're doing

510
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 3: it here. We like the Jets are the last two

511
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 3: years have been like we're just waiting to unleash are

512
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:41,360
Speaker 3: hugely talented and spectacular team on the NFL, and then

513
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,399
Speaker 3: it comes out like it did. The Bears are like

514
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 3: they're just never even in the conversation, I never, they're

515
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 3: they're just they're like the nineteen ninety eight Cleveland Browns

516
00:25:55,400 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 3: all the time. It's rough. It's rough, and now feel

517
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 3: for the Chicago fans, the Bears with Caleb Williams, the

518
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 3: Bears have got a shot at it, and I think

519
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 3: they know it. Eber Flues, who was a defensive guy

520
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 3: coming in, I get it. Okay, They've had six double

521
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 3: digit win seasons over the past thirty years. That's it.

522
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 3: They just let me.

523
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 2: Let me pitch this to you. Do you think the

524
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 2: Chicago Bears this offseason can land Lions offensive coordinator Ben

525
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 2: Johnson as their next head coach, because that guy is

526
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 2: gonna work somewhere, let me tell you this. And the

527
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,959
Speaker 2: opportunity to work with Caleb Williams as an offensive play caller,

528
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 2: that's not nothing.

529
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:47,239
Speaker 3: To tell you this.

530
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:50,439
Speaker 2: Even as abominable as the Bears organization has been.

531
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 3: I don't know that I would take the job if

532
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 3: i'm him because he's turned him down. He's turned down jobs.

533
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:57,920
Speaker 2: Yes, he turned down jobs last year, right, so it's

534
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 2: going to be like five interviews last year, and he's like,

535
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:00,920
Speaker 2: I'm gonna wait.

536
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 3: I'm gonna wait till I get a place where I

537
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 3: can do it the way I know it needs to

538
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 3: be done. And I'm not gonna compromise if you're gonna

539
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 3: make me compromise, I'm not taking your job. So that

540
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 3: would disqualify the Bears automatically, because they're never gonna compromise

541
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 3: being mediocre. Okay, I mean that's their wheelhouse. So but

542
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 3: I'll say this, that guy's phone's gonna ring.

543
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that phone's gonna gonna be Bears got to

544
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:28,359
Speaker 1: call him. They got to call him.

545
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:30,239
Speaker 3: It's gonna because not only do you get better by

546
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:32,359
Speaker 3: getting a guy who's a slick head coach new thing,

547
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:37,920
Speaker 3: you're also crippling your division rival. So that's a no brainer.

548
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:42,120
Speaker 3: I am, Yes, I am so disgusted with the Chicago

549
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 3: Bears today.

550
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 1: All right, well we'll leave it there for the Bears.

551
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 2: The Dolphins dropped a thirty to seventeen decision to the

552
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 2: Packers in Green Bay, where game time tempts were in

553
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 2: the twenties. At least one Miami Dolphins player believe the

554
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 2: team allowed the cold temperatures to dictate the performance in

555
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 2: the third point loss. According to NFL Next Gen Stats,

556
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 2: the Dolphins missed twenty tackles in the loss, which directly

557
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 2: led to one hundred and thirty two additional yards for

558
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:12,719
Speaker 2: the Packers. Linebacker Jordan Brooks bluntly said he thought the

559
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 2: mid twenty degree temperatures played a role. Quote, I thought

560
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:19,880
Speaker 2: we were soft, simple as that. I thought we were

561
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:21,639
Speaker 2: soft today. I don't know if guys thought it was

562
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 2: too cold. I don't know what it was. I feel

563
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 2: like the elements played a part in how we played

564
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,120
Speaker 2: as a group, and that was the result that we got.

565
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:31,639
Speaker 1: Yauser, that is not good.

566
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:34,479
Speaker 2: The reason it is good, though, is because, by virtue

567
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 2: of their loss, the Bills only need a win on

568
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 2: Sunday Night football to clinch the AFC East title for

569
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 2: a fifth straight year, and that would be the first

570
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 2: time in franchise history that they've won five straight division crowns.

571
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 2: If they can win on Sunday Night against the forty

572
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:55,720
Speaker 2: nine ers, and more importantly, Buffalo would be the first

573
00:28:55,840 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 2: NFL team to clinch a division title within five with

574
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 2: five weeks still to play since the Indianapolis Colts in

575
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 2: two thousand and nine.

576
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 3: It's first time since games went to seventeen weeks seventeen

577
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 3: game season. They'll be the earliest division clincher if they

578
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 3: can find a way to beat the forty nine ers

579
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 3: on Sunday Night.

580
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 1: So that is something so the Dolphins once again assisting.

581
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 2: Finally, the Cowboys got to win at home this week,

582
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:29,479
Speaker 2: steve their first one in at and T Stadium this season,

583
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 2: and they needed to play a two to nine Giants

584
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 2: team to do it, as they won twenty seven to twenty.

585
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 2: Dallas ran the ball effectively in the battle of backup

586
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 2: quarterbacks Cooper Rush versus Drew Locke. Locke ran for a

587
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 2: touchdown late to make it twenty seven to twenty, but

588
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 2: it wasn't enough, as the Giants fault to two and

589
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 2: ten on the season and have now lost seven in

590
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:51,080
Speaker 2: a row.

591
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, there might be some other head coaches losing it.

592
00:29:57,720 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 3: I hate to save for Daves. I hope he doesn't.

593
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:01,479
Speaker 3: I don't think it's we were talking about this too.

594
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 3: I don't think it's his fault. I think you look

595
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 3: at what happened with Daniel Jones. They got backed into

596
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 3: a corner Saquon Bargain. None of this is the head

597
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 3: coach's fault. Having to pay a bad quarterback and losing

598
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 3: a Hall of Fame caliber running back just yea. And

599
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 3: this is the guy that got him to the playoffs

600
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 3: his first year, coming in after they'd fired the guy

601
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 3: who couldn't get it done with him the last year,

602
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 3: So he's proved what kind of coach he is. Now

603
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 3: he's gonna he's gonna lose his job over there. You

604
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 3: mean you can't go seven straight and not the effort

605
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 3: in the second half was the giant. Yeah, the Giants

606
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 3: are looking like a team that have given up the

607
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 3: ghost and and that's that does reflect on a head coach.

608
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:41,400
Speaker 3: That does reflect on it.

00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 2: brought to you by Gabes Collision. Gabe's Collision, the official

624
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 2: Auto Collision Repair Center, or the Buffalo Bills get Back

625
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 2: in the game, and this week's Collision course features the

626
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 2: Bills running game against the forty nine Ers defense.

627
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 1: Steve and You're you're emboldened by what you've seen.

628
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 3: They've got a lot of defensive linemen who are nicked

629
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 3: up and hurt. The Bills are getting healthier. The Niners

630
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 3: are are hurt. And they struggled to stop the run

631
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 3: last week in the game they played against and I'm

632
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 3: struggling figure out. I can't remember.

633
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 1: I'll tell you they played the Packers.

634
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 2: The Packers and Sam Fran They've got a missed tackle

635
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 2: rate against the run of thirty one point four percent.

636
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 1: It's worse in the league.

637
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 2: Right They had eighty six missed tackles on opponents carries.

638
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 2: That's the second most in the NFL according to Next

639
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 2: Gen Stats. Last week against Green Bay, twenty two missed tackles.

640
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're they're not giving up a ton of yard

641
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 3: they're giving they're six in the league overall yardage given up,

642
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 3: sixth in yards per play, but rushing yards they're twelfth

643
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 3: in the league ninth overall, so they're still in the

644
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:49,240
Speaker 3: top half of the league in their rankings, but they

645
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 3: are taking a dip now because of the injuries. They

646
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 3: started out the year much better than this, so so the.

647
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 2: Buffalo run game could see some success against a team

648
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:03,719
Speaker 2: that looked in terms of the rankings but has not

649
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 2: looked good of late, and tackling fundamentally sound is a

650
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 2: problem for them. And if you've got James Cook running

651
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 2: like he did against the Chiefs in their last game

652
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 2: two weeks ago, could be a productive night for the

653
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 2: Bills on the ground and Ray Davis, I mean, guys

654
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 2: bounce off him already. Now you've got players not making

655
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 2: fundamentally sound tackles for the Niners.

656
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 3: That could be a big problem for that, right, I

657
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:29,959
Speaker 3: mean the Niners are still highly ranked, highly ranked defense,

658
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 3: and you know, when you it comes across it, who

659
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:35,480
Speaker 3: cares how many points are giving up? They're number two

660
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 3: in point differential per game defensively, but they're nineteenth in

661
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:42,120
Speaker 3: points given up.

662
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 2: So and the other big problem they have is in

663
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:49,640
Speaker 2: the red zone defensively and offensively, and that's one of

664
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 2: the biggest reasons why they are five and six right

665
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:55,720
Speaker 2: now coming into this game. Because they might not be

666
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 2: giving up a lot of yards over the course of

667
00:33:57,360 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 2: a game, but as soon as that opponent gets in

668
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 2: the red zone, they're in for six. More than two

669
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 2: thirds of the time. I think it's around three quarters

670
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 2: of the time.

671
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 1: So that's a.

672
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:09,719
Speaker 2: Number that they have not been able to fix. And

673
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:11,760
Speaker 2: being shorthanded is probably.

674
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:12,920
Speaker 1: A part of that due to injuries.

675
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:17,799
Speaker 2: But they can't even stop the rundown there in the

676
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:21,239
Speaker 2: tight red area where the Bills have been especially good.

677
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:24,319
Speaker 2: We had Osiris Torrance here in studio earlier this week

678
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 2: talking about that on why they're so effective in the

679
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 2: low red zone run in the football where it's hard

680
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 2: to run it, and he just said, we just have

681
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:35,040
Speaker 2: a mindset that we're getting yards and that's it. Yeah,

682
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 2: And it's been happening, so hopefully it happens again on

683
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 2: Sunday night. We have to pivot now to Tailgate Friday,

684
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:46,799
Speaker 2: presented by high Mark, Blue Cross, Blue Shield. High Mark

685
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:48,680
Speaker 2: is the official healthcare plan.

686
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:52,160
Speaker 1: Of the Buffalo Bills. Because life, we.

687
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:53,719
Speaker 2: Want to know what you guys got cooking up on

688
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:55,640
Speaker 2: the grill this weekend.

689
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 1: And I wonder if weather is going to impact what people's.

690
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:01,840
Speaker 2: Got to decide cooked. I mean, if you have a

691
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 2: grill with a top on, it doesn't matter. Everything stays covered,

692
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:05,279
Speaker 2: nothing gets wet.

693
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,239
Speaker 1: You don't have to worry about that. But you know, you.

694
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:11,840
Speaker 2: Gotta you gotta prep your food area accordingly. With weather

695
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 2: like this, it's supposed to be heavy. Snow during the.

696
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 3: Tailgate will change everything. Yeah, you know, I mean it's

697
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 3: a challenge, but we'll see, We'll see how it affects

698
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 3: the menu. Always usually get some pretty good menus.

699
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:30,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, our resident menu supplier Jack says, for this snowy game,

700
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 2: I'll be making a big pot of my three alarm

701
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 2: three bean turkey and sausage chili.

702
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:38,840
Speaker 1: Gonna slow cook.

703
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:41,720
Speaker 2: Tomorrow and heat up in the lot on the camp

704
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:48,000
Speaker 2: stove with rice, sharp cheddar, sour cream, and crusty bread

705
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 2: stick to your ribs goodness to keep us warm. Yeah,

706
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 2: on a snowy day, chili might be the only answer.

707
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's it might be the only correct answers this week.

708
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 1: I mean, you and I are big chili fans.

709
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 3: The more you get bundled up, the harder it is

710
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 3: to be dexterous enough to you know, put all, you know,

711
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:11,000
Speaker 3: put everything you got big gloves on. Everybody's going to

712
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:14,799
Speaker 3: be bundled up. Make it easy. One pot, everything's in it,

713
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:15,279
Speaker 3: let's go.

714
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:18,880
Speaker 2: I do notice here he's cooking up some rice. Not

715
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:21,880
Speaker 2: everybody has rice with their chili. But I make my

716
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:26,320
Speaker 2: chili really thick. It's not soupy. I make a thick chili.

717
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:30,799
Speaker 2: And sometimes I'll put a bed of rice in the

718
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:33,759
Speaker 2: bottom of the bowl and then put the chili on top,

719
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 2: and then mix it all together. And I often put

720
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:41,240
Speaker 2: the cheese on the bottom between the rice and the chili.

721
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:44,400
Speaker 2: So rice in the bowl first, then the shredded cheese

722
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 2: chili on top, and it melts the cheese that much faster,

723
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:53,719
Speaker 2: and it's just ooey gooey goodness. Are you a sour cream.

724
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:56,879
Speaker 3: Idea sour cream on my chili?

725
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:58,120
Speaker 1: Will you put a dollup on it?

726
00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 3: No? Cheese. I will sour cream never, only once in

727
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 3: a while if it's very if it's too spicy to eat,

728
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:09,400
Speaker 3: I'll do that. You take something, but usually I'm I

729
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:10,040
Speaker 3: don't make it.

730
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 1: I don't need it, but if it's there, I'll use it.

731
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 2: Not in plentiful supply, just a little, you know, a

732
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:20,359
Speaker 2: little tablespoon.

733
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:21,920
Speaker 3: And that's good. Sour cream has its place.

734
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 2: Now let's talk about the crusty bread because a lot

735
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:31,359
Speaker 2: of people tend to lean towards tortilla chips, which is

736
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 2: which is usually my.

737
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 3: It's a go to because you can dip it better.

738
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:38,200
Speaker 3: But I'm okay with bread too. Yeah, I'm okay if

739
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:40,560
Speaker 3: it's and again, to your point, bread I mean, not

740
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:42,879
Speaker 3: just any bread will work. The crusty bread is good.

741
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 2: But to your point, when you're bundled up and you

742
00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:48,280
Speaker 2: got gloves on, it's probably better to go with bread

743
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 2: because otherwise you're just snapping chips left and right with

744
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:53,520
Speaker 2: gloves on. I mean, you kind of look like Frankenstein

745
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 2: trying to pick up a tortilla.

746
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:56,400
Speaker 1: You know what I mean.

747
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm kind I'm kind of liking this, this chili thing.

748
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:02,440
Speaker 1: I'm somewhat motivated to make my am. It kind of

749
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:03,239
Speaker 1: gives me because I'm not.

750
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:04,839
Speaker 2: Gonna have to you know, I don't have to leave

751
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:06,799
Speaker 2: for the stadium as early as I usually do with

752
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 2: it being a night game, so I might have time

753
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:10,960
Speaker 2: to whip some up in the time.

754
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:12,799
Speaker 3: What's what do you think the timetable is for this

755
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 3: game this week?

756
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:15,879
Speaker 1: Ah, that's hard to say with the weather.

757
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, if the weather's bad, I'm leaving really early,

758
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:21,239
Speaker 2: right right half day this.

759
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:22,879
Speaker 3: Let me just say this, the four to twenty five

760
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:24,920
Speaker 3: game we just had against the Kansasity Chiefs, I was

761
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 3: here way too early. Broh. Yeah we did right here

762
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:30,280
Speaker 3: like ten am.

763
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:31,320
Speaker 1: Oh, that is early.

764
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:35,359
Speaker 3: So I'm thinking I'm for the for an eight twenty game.

765
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:41,360
Speaker 3: I don't know what three oh, man, No, that's five hours,

766
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:43,720
Speaker 3: four maybe four or five?

767
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:46,480
Speaker 1: Three hours is if it's bad weather.

768
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:48,759
Speaker 3: And it depends on the on the crew I'm going with,

769
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 3: because I got a bunch of guys in there for

770
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:52,840
Speaker 3: this game too. And the brothers are still in town

771
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:56,319
Speaker 3: and I'm picking up another brother tonight. He's actually not

772
00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:59,279
Speaker 3: a real brother, but he's like a brother. Yeah, he

773
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:03,319
Speaker 3: gets into night. Yeah, I mean, I people gotta go.

774
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 3: You gotta go through this, man. This this is one

775
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:07,000
Speaker 3: of those games you gotta be prepared.

776
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 1: Logistics.

777
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 3: Logistics is the problem for this Niners Bills game because

778
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:13,719
Speaker 3: of the snow and because you know it's late in

779
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:18,560
Speaker 3: the year. Yeah, and it's a night game. And all right,

780
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:20,920
Speaker 3: all right, I'm gonna I'm getting my mind around it now. Yeah.

781
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 2: Uh, let's go to the OBL Friday fan mail bag

782
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 2: to field some questions from you the listeners that you've

783
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:29,799
Speaker 2: sent into us. Here, you can also chime in an

784
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:32,400
Speaker 2: eight h three oh five fifty one eighty eight five

785
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:33,799
Speaker 2: fifty two five fifty is the.

786
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:35,680
Speaker 1: Number to jump on board. We do have open lines

787
00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 1: for you.

788
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:39,000
Speaker 2: This first question comes from Samantha, who asks, how are

789
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:42,880
Speaker 2: we feeling about Detroit after their game against Chicago. Definitely

790
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:47,360
Speaker 2: not the blowout everyone was expecting. I will say this, Samantha.

791
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:53,319
Speaker 2: Division games are often tight. The Bears are used to

792
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:56,800
Speaker 2: playing the Lions. They're not intimidated by this juggernaut offense.

793
00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:00,000
Speaker 2: And even though they got off to a horrible start

794
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:02,520
Speaker 2: and gave up a ton of yards, they were still

795
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 2: in the game at halftime.

796
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:05,279
Speaker 1: Because they're used to playing this team.

797
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:08,319
Speaker 2: They know their personnel, they know their schemes, and that's

798
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:11,359
Speaker 2: why we often see division games much tighter than those

799
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:13,960
Speaker 2: cross conference games against teams you don't play that often.

800
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:18,040
Speaker 3: That's right. It's easier for coaches to get matchups. They

801
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:20,840
Speaker 3: know exactly the matchups they want, so do their players.

802
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:22,000
Speaker 3: It's familiar with them.

803
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:22,200
Speaker 1: Now.

804
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:25,560
Speaker 3: You know, Caleb Williams is still young in this rivalry,

805
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:28,960
Speaker 3: so that you know, played a little into this, but

806
00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:36,080
Speaker 3: you just and it. That's the only thing I can

807
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:40,120
Speaker 3: come up with, because the Bears are terrible and they

808
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:43,240
Speaker 3: hung in there. They got talent. The Bears have some talent,

809
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:47,520
Speaker 3: but they are not a good football team this year,

810
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 3: and they still hung in there with a Detroit team

811
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:53,840
Speaker 3: that is very good. Now, I'll say this too, not

812
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 3: for nothing. You can imagine on a Thanksgiving where Detroit

813
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:04,239
Speaker 3: has not played well, notoriously, even though they're at home,

814
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 3: they've lost seven in a row. It took a bad

815
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:08,719
Speaker 3: Bears team for them to win, and they didn't play

816
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 3: well on that day. Something's going on there, I don't think,

817
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:13,920
Speaker 3: and it might have been they look at the Bears

818
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:16,560
Speaker 3: and see how bad they are and just taking a

819
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:21,480
Speaker 3: day off. I don't think the Detroit Lions played their

820
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:24,000
Speaker 3: best football yesterday. So there's that.

821
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:26,160
Speaker 2: Which kind of has me happy that the Bills are

822
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:28,719
Speaker 2: not playing them coming off of this game, because this

823
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:30,080
Speaker 2: is kind of like a mini.

824
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:30,880
Speaker 1: Buy for them.

825
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 3: That's right.

826
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:33,760
Speaker 2: They don't play them next week, They play the Rams

827
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:36,839
Speaker 2: next week, and then they play the Lions. So I'm

828
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:39,360
Speaker 2: glad there's a little bit of space between them getting

829
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:40,640
Speaker 2: this mini buye.

830
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:44,960
Speaker 3: The Detroit is looking towards next week with green Bay.

831
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:48,200
Speaker 3: They got a game at green Bay at home, and

832
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:51,800
Speaker 3: so that's probably a trap game. The Bears game was

833
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:53,880
Speaker 3: a little bit even though they were division opponents.

834
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:55,560
Speaker 1: So they have three straight home games.

835
00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:59,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, they yes, they do home with the Bears, with

836
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:01,799
Speaker 3: the Packers, home with the Bills, and then they go

837
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:02,960
Speaker 3: back to Chicago.

838
00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 2: All right, we have to step aside here for a break,

839
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:09,759
Speaker 2: but when we come back, we'll have another break. It's

840
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:12,520
Speaker 2: gonna be a lunch break presented by Snapdragon Apples. We'll

841
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:14,600

860
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:28,840

00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:30,400

00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:51,120
Speaker 2: co Sell joining us from NFL Films. We'll see on

894
00:44:51,160 --> 00:45:28,480
Speaker 2: the other side.

895
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:34,480
Speaker 1: This is One Bill's Live presented by Kalida Health.

896
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:37,840
Speaker 2: All Right, our number two here as we started an

897
00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:41,640
Speaker 2: hour early, Chris Brown Steve Tasker with you. One Bill's

898
00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:45,160
Speaker 2: Live here on a Friday, as we get set for

899
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:50,680
Speaker 2: Bill's Niners Sunday Night football, and weather looks like it

900
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:53,520
Speaker 2: is going to be a factor. There is snow in

901
00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:59,040
Speaker 2: the forecast right now. The outlook is heavier snow during

902
00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:03,279
Speaker 2: the tailgating hour, lighter snow during the game, and the

903
00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:06,680
Speaker 2: snow may even taper off and stop before the game

904
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:10,399
Speaker 2: is over. How much we get still to.

905
00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:14,600
Speaker 1: Be determined, and.

906
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:15,560
Speaker 2: I guess we won't really know for sure until we

907
00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:18,480
Speaker 2: see if a Lake effect snowband sets up or if

908
00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:21,400
Speaker 2: it's just going to be the storm portion blowing through here.

909
00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:24,360
Speaker 2: Either way, we are expected to see the white stuff.

910
00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:28,480
Speaker 2: But we've already broken a record here in Buffalo. The

911
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:32,960
Speaker 2: previous record for the latest snowfall in a season was

912
00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:36,799
Speaker 2: November twenty second, and we are a week clear of

913
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:40,840
Speaker 2: that today. So the first time it's snows will be

914
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:42,120
Speaker 2: the latest on record.

915
00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:45,919
Speaker 3: We probably won't. We might make it to December first. Yeah,

916
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:48,759
Speaker 3: it looks like it's coming tomorrow. It's the measurement's done

917
00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:50,799
Speaker 3: at the airport, correct, So.

918
00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:53,680
Speaker 1: Oh, I see what you're saying. Yeah, yeah, yeah. If

919
00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:57,080
Speaker 1: it doesn't drift that far north, yeah.

920
00:46:56,360 --> 00:46:58,160
Speaker 3: Maybe I don't know. We'll see.

921
00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:02,000
Speaker 1: But Waga isn't exactly a north town. It's more of

922
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:02,640
Speaker 1: an East town.

923
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:06,279
Speaker 2: It's right as is Lancaster where I am, so we're

924
00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:08,960
Speaker 2: right on the border there all the time of the Snowbands.

925
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:09,560
Speaker 1: It's crazy.

926
00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:12,919
Speaker 2: We have to pivot now though to our weekly guest

927
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:14,840

935
00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:37,879
Speaker 2: going to be big, more for the forty nine ers

936
00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:41,560
Speaker 2: than the Bills, and I guess we should start here

937
00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:45,880
Speaker 2: because we still don't know the official availability of Brock Purty,

938
00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:48,120
Speaker 2: who has only been limited in practice this week and

939
00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:52,200
Speaker 2: has not thrown much by all indications. First question to you,

940
00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:55,000
Speaker 2: You've got an opportunity to see Brandon Allen operate this

941
00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:58,520
Speaker 2: offense in Green Bay last week one hundred and ninety

942
00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:01,520
Speaker 2: nine yards. You know, did not win the game, obviously

943
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:04,080
Speaker 2: had his share of struggles. Ball security was an issue.

944
00:48:04,080 --> 00:48:06,399
Speaker 1: What did you see well?

945
00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:09,160
Speaker 4: I think to me, Brownie, the larger question was not

946
00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:12,160
Speaker 4: so much Allen. I didn't think Allen played poorly given

947
00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:14,000
Speaker 4: the fact that I think the last time he started

948
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:16,440
Speaker 4: a game was the last game I believe of the

949
00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:20,480
Speaker 4: twenty twenty one season, if memory serves me correctly. What

950
00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:23,520
Speaker 4: I really noticed on tape was how limited the forty

951
00:48:23,600 --> 00:48:26,680
Speaker 4: nine ers offense was in terms of what they normally do.

952
00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:30,719
Speaker 4: The formation variation was limited quite a bit. There was

953
00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:35,239
Speaker 4: much less motion. It was clear that Kyle Shanahan had

954
00:48:35,239 --> 00:48:38,080
Speaker 4: to really tone down a lot of the things we've

955
00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:40,720
Speaker 4: come to expect from watching the forty nine ers offense,

956
00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:43,600
Speaker 4: which you know is a number of things that make

957
00:48:43,640 --> 00:48:46,359
Speaker 4: it so difficult to defend is the fact that they

958
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:50,359
Speaker 4: do so much with different players, where they line up

959
00:48:50,440 --> 00:48:54,800
Speaker 4: the movement before the snap. Much of that did not happen. Now,

960
00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:57,960
Speaker 4: assuming again we don't know, we're not out there, but

961
00:48:58,080 --> 00:49:01,360
Speaker 4: assuming Brandon Allen did take all the first team reps

962
00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:04,799
Speaker 4: this week, my guess is, and of course this is

963
00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:07,560
Speaker 4: also whether permitting, my guess is you would see a

964
00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:10,480
Speaker 4: little more of what their normal offense looks like. But

965
00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:13,360
Speaker 4: you certainly didn't see it last week against the Packers.

966
00:49:13,600 --> 00:49:17,239
Speaker 3: And what do you think that costs them in their

967
00:49:17,320 --> 00:49:19,840
Speaker 3: ability to win that game? Certainly there are some things

968
00:49:19,880 --> 00:49:22,080
Speaker 3: not that they didn't have on their menu, right, I mean,

969
00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:24,400
Speaker 3: so they were trying to beat a Packers team on

970
00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:27,800
Speaker 3: the road left handed right.

971
00:49:27,719 --> 00:49:32,279
Speaker 4: And you know, I think the bottom line. To me,

972
00:49:32,360 --> 00:49:33,920
Speaker 4: and I've watched the forty nine Ers for the years.

973
00:49:34,080 --> 00:49:35,680
Speaker 4: I'm sure a lot of people have, They've been a

974
00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:39,840
Speaker 4: very good team. To me, they're a very schematic team.

975
00:49:40,160 --> 00:49:42,080
Speaker 4: You know, I don't view the Niners. I don't know

976
00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:44,040
Speaker 4: what you guys think. You know, I don't view the

977
00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:48,000
Speaker 4: Niners as a team that's built on just great players.

978
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:50,520
Speaker 4: Now we know McCaffrey went healthy as a great player,

979
00:49:50,719 --> 00:49:53,200
Speaker 4: and we know that guys put up numbers. But I

980
00:49:53,239 --> 00:49:55,160
Speaker 4: don't think that they're the kind of team where you,

981
00:49:55,280 --> 00:49:58,440
Speaker 4: let's say, look at their skill players and go, wow,

982
00:49:58,880 --> 00:50:01,200
Speaker 4: you just better stop that guy or else. You know,

983
00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:03,759
Speaker 4: I don't. It's not like they have a Justin Jefferson

984
00:50:03,840 --> 00:50:07,440
Speaker 4: or Jamar Chase or To me, it's very schematic based.

985
00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:13,040
Speaker 4: And the way that Kyle Shanahan creates throwing windows, creates

986
00:50:13,080 --> 00:50:16,399
Speaker 4: in the run game, creates with motion, with movement, and

987
00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:19,279
Speaker 4: if that gets I don't want to say taken away,

988
00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:22,000
Speaker 4: but minimized by your own choosing because of who you're

989
00:50:22,040 --> 00:50:25,160
Speaker 4: playing at quarterback, I think that that has a pretty

990
00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:27,880
Speaker 4: significant impact on what they're going to look like.

991
00:50:28,520 --> 00:50:30,400
Speaker 1: You mentioned Christian McCaffrey.

992
00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:34,160
Speaker 2: He's played in three games since returning from that bilateral

993
00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:39,040
Speaker 2: achilles tendonitis. I watched pretty much that whole game from

994
00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:44,600
Speaker 2: last week, and he didn't look like the explosive, sudden

995
00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:47,680
Speaker 2: Christian McCaffrey that we saw last year when he led

996
00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:51,839
Speaker 2: the league in rushing. Maybe he's still getting back into

997
00:50:51,960 --> 00:50:54,719
Speaker 2: game shape, Greg, but I was curious your thoughts on

998
00:50:54,880 --> 00:50:57,360
Speaker 2: what he looks like, what he has looked like to

999
00:50:57,400 --> 00:50:58,920
Speaker 2: you these three games he's returned.

1000
00:50:59,680 --> 00:51:02,200
Speaker 4: I mean, and that's been a big conversation. You know,

1001
00:51:02,719 --> 00:51:05,160
Speaker 4: it's always hard for me to answer that because I

1002
00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:07,560
Speaker 4: think that for the most part, they're all line. And

1003
00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:10,920
Speaker 4: as I said, Brownie, you know, I've watched every game,

1004
00:51:12,160 --> 00:51:14,239
Speaker 4: I don't think they're all line this year has played

1005
00:51:14,280 --> 00:51:17,359
Speaker 4: particularly well. And in fact, in that Packers game, which

1006
00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:20,200
Speaker 4: I'm sure you watched that game in particular, I thought

1007
00:51:20,239 --> 00:51:24,200
Speaker 4: that they were that the Packers' defense looked quicker, faster,

1008
00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:27,279
Speaker 4: more physical than the forty nine ers all line. And

1009
00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:29,640
Speaker 4: that's been the case to me in a number of

1010
00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:33,719
Speaker 4: games this season. And you know, there were times where

1011
00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:36,120
Speaker 4: McCaffrey and they tried to get him outside, and there

1012
00:51:36,120 --> 00:51:38,200
Speaker 4: were times when he cut up and there were just

1013
00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:43,040
Speaker 4: three packers who seemingly were unblocked. So is he going

1014
00:51:43,080 --> 00:51:45,279
Speaker 4: to look exactly the same as he looked a year

1015
00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:47,399
Speaker 4: ago or when he's at his best. I would say

1016
00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:49,680
Speaker 4: the answer to that's no, But I don't. I don't

1017
00:51:49,719 --> 00:51:51,319
Speaker 4: look at him and go, oh my god, this guy

1018
00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:53,600
Speaker 4: like he shouldn't be out there. He doesn't look good.

1019
00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:57,680
Speaker 4: I think they really struggled blocking. They haven't had good

1020
00:51:57,800 --> 00:52:00,680
Speaker 4: quality play from guys that they would expect. I don't

1021
00:52:00,680 --> 00:52:02,840
Speaker 4: think the center has played as well this year. I

1022
00:52:02,840 --> 00:52:04,960
Speaker 4: don't think the left guard Aaron Banks has played as

1023
00:52:04,960 --> 00:52:08,439
Speaker 4: well this year. Obviously, Trent Williams didn't even play last week.

1024
00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:10,360
Speaker 4: I don't know what his status is this week.

1025
00:52:10,600 --> 00:52:12,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, he hasn't practiced at all, and neither has the

1026
00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:15,120
Speaker 2: left guard Banks, who's in concussion protocol.

1027
00:52:15,280 --> 00:52:18,640
Speaker 3: So if they're going to come in there like that,

1028
00:52:19,080 --> 00:52:22,640
Speaker 3: you know, Greg and there, what will they see in

1029
00:52:22,680 --> 00:52:25,319
Speaker 3: a Buffalo defense? And how would you know what I'm saying,

1030
00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:27,560
Speaker 3: how do they mesh? What are the Niners gonna use

1031
00:52:28,280 --> 00:52:29,560
Speaker 3: to beat the Bill's defense?

1032
00:52:30,360 --> 00:52:33,440
Speaker 4: Who That's a great question, Steven, If I knew the

1033
00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:35,560
Speaker 4: answer exactly to that, I wouldn't be sitting here talking

1034
00:52:35,560 --> 00:52:39,600
Speaker 4: to you guys, right, I begin a big salary coaching

1035
00:52:39,640 --> 00:52:40,240
Speaker 4: in the NFL.

1036
00:52:41,680 --> 00:52:44,120
Speaker 3: Right, But that's the question, right, I mean, they being

1037
00:52:44,200 --> 00:52:46,560
Speaker 3: his house, they may be if Purdy doesn't go, and

1038
00:52:46,600 --> 00:52:48,680
Speaker 3: they're going to be the same left handed group, kind

1039
00:52:48,680 --> 00:52:53,239
Speaker 3: of limited, maybe a little less limited, but still what

1040
00:52:53,320 --> 00:52:56,400
Speaker 3: do they see in the Bill's defense that you know

1041
00:52:56,440 --> 00:52:57,520
Speaker 3: that they're going to have to attack?

1042
00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:01,880
Speaker 4: You know, I always look at the Bills defense, and

1043
00:53:01,920 --> 00:53:03,799
Speaker 4: obviously you guys are there, but I mean I watch

1044
00:53:03,880 --> 00:53:05,799
Speaker 4: the tape every week. I've watched it for years. As

1045
00:53:05,840 --> 00:53:09,200
Speaker 4: you know, I always look at the Bills defense as

1046
00:53:09,320 --> 00:53:13,000
Speaker 4: a defense that's really fundamentally sound. They're not one of

1047
00:53:13,040 --> 00:53:15,920
Speaker 4: those exotic pressure defenses. Although they you know, there's some

1048
00:53:15,960 --> 00:53:18,200
Speaker 4: blitz schemes here and there that Sean McDermott you know

1049
00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:20,480
Speaker 4: well without, but you wouldn't say that they are, you know,

1050
00:53:20,560 --> 00:53:23,239
Speaker 4: one of those heavy blitz defenses. I think on the

1051
00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:26,920
Speaker 4: back end they play a lot of too high structure.

1052
00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:29,960
Speaker 4: They play some man but they are not one of

1053
00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:32,919
Speaker 4: those getting your face press all over the field. They're

1054
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:37,880
Speaker 4: just a fundamentally sound defense with players that understand their roles,

1055
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:40,680
Speaker 4: understand what they're asked to do. You have to beat

1056
00:53:40,719 --> 00:53:44,160
Speaker 4: them with execution. You know, to me, you rarely beat

1057
00:53:44,200 --> 00:53:46,600
Speaker 4: them because they screw up. I mean, everybody screws up

1058
00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:49,200
Speaker 4: once in a while, but you rarely beat them because

1059
00:53:49,239 --> 00:53:51,480
Speaker 4: they they screw up. Wouldn't you guys agree with that?

1060
00:53:52,040 --> 00:53:54,680
Speaker 1: Yeah? I would say that's that's pretty much on the money.

1061
00:53:55,640 --> 00:53:58,799
Speaker 4: Yeah. So, I mean, you know, I kind of feel like,

1062
00:53:58,880 --> 00:54:01,440
Speaker 4: and Kyle Shanahan's not normally like this, but I almost

1063
00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:04,480
Speaker 4: feel like there's going to have to be some kind

1064
00:54:04,520 --> 00:54:07,759
Speaker 4: of and I hate this word, but you know, trickery.

1065
00:54:08,200 --> 00:54:10,799
Speaker 4: Obviously you don't do that on twenty snaps, but there's

1066
00:54:10,840 --> 00:54:13,400
Speaker 4: going to have to be something Steve that tries to

1067
00:54:13,440 --> 00:54:15,640
Speaker 4: create some explosiveness in their offense.

1068
00:54:15,760 --> 00:54:16,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, because I.

1069
00:54:16,320 --> 00:54:18,440
Speaker 4: Think it's going to be hard for them to just

1070
00:54:18,600 --> 00:54:21,960
Speaker 4: line up and methodically play what we normally consider to

1071
00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:25,120
Speaker 4: be forty nine ers football, especially with all these people out.

1072
00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:27,279
Speaker 2: We actually saw them do that last week against Green

1073
00:54:27,320 --> 00:54:31,160
Speaker 2: Bay with that halfback toss back, double fe flicker option

1074
00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:32,000
Speaker 2: pass thing.

1075
00:54:32,120 --> 00:54:35,440
Speaker 4: And it ended up being basically just a tunnel screen

1076
00:54:35,480 --> 00:54:38,360
Speaker 4: to Samuel which probably could have gotten to without doing.

1077
00:54:38,200 --> 00:54:42,120
Speaker 1: All that right the Fred Warner.

1078
00:54:42,320 --> 00:54:45,160
Speaker 2: First of all, after the game last week, he called

1079
00:54:45,160 --> 00:54:49,920
Speaker 2: the performance embarrassing. And then if you look at the numbers,

1080
00:54:49,960 --> 00:54:53,880
Speaker 2: according to next Gen Stats, they had twenty one mistackles

1081
00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:58,120
Speaker 2: in the game against the Packers. Do you attribute that

1082
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:03,280
Speaker 2: more to the Packers ball carriers? I mean, Josh Jacobs

1083
00:55:03,360 --> 00:55:05,960
Speaker 2: is a fantastic contact balance back.

1084
00:55:06,080 --> 00:55:06,600
Speaker 3: We know that.

1085
00:55:07,719 --> 00:55:09,720
Speaker 2: So how much do you chalk up to the talent

1086
00:55:09,880 --> 00:55:13,640
Speaker 2: of the Packers forcing miss tackles to maybe the Niners

1087
00:55:13,680 --> 00:55:18,120
Speaker 2: having a bad day defensively because they're among the league

1088
00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:20,560
Speaker 2: leaders in mistackle percentage.

1089
00:55:22,239 --> 00:55:26,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, I always think that's a combination, Brownie, because you know, obviously,

1090
00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:29,120
Speaker 4: when you know when a guy like Josh Jacobs gets

1091
00:55:29,160 --> 00:55:30,960
Speaker 4: to the third level of the defense, and I think

1092
00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:34,600
Speaker 4: it happened early in the game where JayR. Brown the safety,

1093
00:55:34,680 --> 00:55:37,719
Speaker 4: then you know, quote unquote missus a tackle. You know,

1094
00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:40,600
Speaker 4: do we say that that's a mistackle? If you're the

1095
00:55:40,640 --> 00:55:43,520
Speaker 4: defensive coaches, you say so. But on the other hand,

1096
00:55:43,560 --> 00:55:45,960
Speaker 4: you have a pretty good back who makes guys mistackles

1097
00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:49,080
Speaker 4: in space. So I always think that's a combination. But

1098
00:55:49,600 --> 00:55:52,200
Speaker 4: I will say this to play off your larger point.

1099
00:55:52,480 --> 00:55:55,960
Speaker 4: They had forty two rushes last week the Packers. I

1100
00:55:56,000 --> 00:55:58,800
Speaker 4: can't recall when a team ever had forty two rushes

1101
00:55:59,040 --> 00:56:02,360
Speaker 4: recently against the San Francisco forty nine ers. So I

1102
00:56:02,360 --> 00:56:04,680
Speaker 4: mean the fact that they I think in the first

1103
00:56:04,719 --> 00:56:09,960
Speaker 4: half alone, Wilson and Jacobs obviously predominantly they combined I

1104
00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:11,880
Speaker 4: think for twenty two for one to twenty in the

1105
00:56:11,960 --> 00:56:14,440
Speaker 4: first half alone. When do you see that?

1106
00:56:15,360 --> 00:56:15,520
Speaker 3: Right?

1107
00:56:15,680 --> 00:56:17,840
Speaker 4: So you know, I think that you know, this is

1108
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:21,600
Speaker 4: a defense overall, and they were physically beaten. I mean

1109
00:56:21,680 --> 00:56:24,160
Speaker 4: you can talk about miss tackles. Obviously, coaches want to

1110
00:56:24,160 --> 00:56:26,200
Speaker 4: correct that, no question. You guys have been doing this

1111
00:56:26,280 --> 00:56:29,239
Speaker 4: a long time, you know that. But they were physically

1112
00:56:29,360 --> 00:56:31,520
Speaker 4: manhandled at the point of attack in that game.

1113
00:56:31,640 --> 00:56:33,879
Speaker 3: And that's why you gotta think the Bills are gonna

1114
00:56:33,880 --> 00:56:36,480
Speaker 3: come out and at least say, hey, did you fix it? Right?

1115
00:56:36,560 --> 00:56:38,040
Speaker 1: I mean the Bill, oh sure?

1116
00:56:38,080 --> 00:56:39,759
Speaker 3: And how much? And that forty nine ers that you

1117
00:56:39,760 --> 00:56:41,560
Speaker 3: always say, Wow, the forty niners had a great game.

1118
00:56:41,840 --> 00:56:44,160
Speaker 3: I think their game plan changed within that game as

1119
00:56:44,200 --> 00:56:46,279
Speaker 3: they saw they were having that success running the ball.

1120
00:56:46,400 --> 00:56:49,759
Speaker 3: They didn't plan on running at forty plus times, no, no, man,

1121
00:56:49,760 --> 00:56:52,440
Speaker 3: oh man, did that plan change when they started having success,

1122
00:56:52,440 --> 00:56:54,080
Speaker 3: and that's kind of what the Bills are up against

1123
00:56:54,080 --> 00:56:56,440
Speaker 3: as well. They're gonna they're gonna test it right out

1124
00:56:56,480 --> 00:56:57,520
Speaker 3: of the gate, correct.

1125
00:56:57,760 --> 00:57:00,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, And as you know, Steve, even Brownie, you've been

1126
00:57:00,760 --> 00:57:04,080
Speaker 4: doing this a long time too. Sometimes when teams get

1127
00:57:04,120 --> 00:57:06,560
Speaker 4: really beaten badly in one area, they do come out

1128
00:57:06,560 --> 00:57:09,120
Speaker 4: the next week and they get that relatively fixed. I'm

1129
00:57:09,120 --> 00:57:11,680
Speaker 4: not saying they're gonna shut the Bills run game down,

1130
00:57:11,760 --> 00:57:13,879
Speaker 4: you know, that is right. You know they're gonna work

1131
00:57:13,880 --> 00:57:16,120
Speaker 4: on that hard this week. It's gonna be hard coaching.

1132
00:57:16,520 --> 00:57:18,840
Speaker 4: It's not gonna be a lot of singing Kumbaya this week.

1133
00:57:18,880 --> 00:57:22,520
Speaker 4: It's gonna be hard coaching. You know, they'll probably be

1134
00:57:22,520 --> 00:57:25,320
Speaker 4: better whatever that means. We don't know the answer to that,

1135
00:57:25,560 --> 00:57:27,800
Speaker 4: but I agree with you, Steve. You know, first of all,

1136
00:57:27,800 --> 00:57:29,320
Speaker 4: you know the Bills want to run the ball anyway.

1137
00:57:29,320 --> 00:57:30,600
Speaker 4: It's not as if they don't want to run.

1138
00:57:30,560 --> 00:57:33,760
Speaker 3: The ball, right, And I'm with you you It was

1139
00:57:33,800 --> 00:57:36,360
Speaker 3: true back before I played and during my career, and

1140
00:57:36,400 --> 00:57:39,360
Speaker 3: it's been true since. A team can stink at some

1141
00:57:39,600 --> 00:57:42,480
Speaker 3: aspect of the game one week and come out and

1142
00:57:42,600 --> 00:57:45,840
Speaker 3: absolutely nail it the next week because they work on

1143
00:57:45,840 --> 00:57:48,680
Speaker 3: it they're pros and yeah, with a little bit of adjustment,

1144
00:57:48,720 --> 00:57:51,360
Speaker 3: a different mindset all of a sudden, you know they

1145
00:57:51,480 --> 00:57:54,280
Speaker 3: they play that aspect of the game one hundred percent better.

1146
00:57:55,160 --> 00:57:58,160
Speaker 4: And they have veterans like you just mentioned Brownie Fred Warner.

1147
00:57:58,520 --> 00:58:00,960
Speaker 4: You know he's a veteran leader type. You know that

1148
00:58:01,080 --> 00:58:05,760
Speaker 4: all this week it's business, serious business. You need players, Steve,

1149
00:58:05,800 --> 00:58:08,000
Speaker 4: you can speak to this better than I clearly, but

1150
00:58:08,080 --> 00:58:10,640
Speaker 4: you need players who then take the coaches can coach,

1151
00:58:10,800 --> 00:58:13,080
Speaker 4: and they can coach hard, but you need players to

1152
00:58:13,120 --> 00:58:15,600
Speaker 4: really take charge of that. Wouldn't you agree?

1153
00:58:15,880 --> 00:58:18,800
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that's yeah. And having veterans in the in

1154
00:58:18,840 --> 00:58:24,120
Speaker 3: the room who will not tolerate guys playing like that again, right,

1155
00:58:24,240 --> 00:58:26,640
Speaker 3: you know that's it's a message, and you know they're

1156
00:58:26,680 --> 00:58:29,800
Speaker 3: guys that players love and respect. They want to join them,

1157
00:58:29,840 --> 00:58:32,439
Speaker 3: so they are going to up their game. That's it's

1158
00:58:32,480 --> 00:58:33,000
Speaker 3: that simple.

1159
00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:37,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, So, Greg, red zone on both sides of the

1160
00:58:37,320 --> 00:58:40,040
Speaker 2: ball has been somewhat of a problem for this Niners team.

1161
00:58:40,240 --> 00:58:42,520
Speaker 2: I was stunned to see what their red zone defense

1162
00:58:42,600 --> 00:58:44,840
Speaker 2: is like. You're a top ten defense in terms of

1163
00:58:44,920 --> 00:58:47,280
Speaker 2: total defense. You know, you do pretty good in a

1164
00:58:47,320 --> 00:58:50,000
Speaker 2: lot of these other categories. Against the run, in the

1165
00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:53,200
Speaker 2: pass their top ten and in the red zone? What

1166
00:58:53,400 --> 00:58:55,440
Speaker 2: is going on there? Why can they not keep people

1167
00:58:55,440 --> 00:58:59,080
Speaker 2: out of the end zone? It is uncommonly low ranking

1168
00:58:59,160 --> 00:59:01,440
Speaker 2: for the forty nine ers defense in the red area.

1169
00:59:02,760 --> 00:59:05,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's true on offense as well. I mean

1170
00:59:05,560 --> 00:59:09,160
Speaker 4: they that's been an area where they've been really bad

1171
00:59:09,240 --> 00:59:12,880
Speaker 4: on both sides. And that's you know, again, that is

1172
00:59:12,920 --> 00:59:17,200
Speaker 4: such a critical area in this league. You know, to me,

1173
00:59:17,400 --> 00:59:20,960
Speaker 4: red zone defense is you almost have to look at

1174
00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:23,440
Speaker 4: all the plays, and I certainly haven't looked at them

1175
00:59:23,480 --> 00:59:28,080
Speaker 4: all in one stretch. But there's a lot of different reasons.

1176
00:59:28,120 --> 00:59:30,960
Speaker 4: Because sometimes you get beat because teams are really good

1177
00:59:30,960 --> 00:59:33,360
Speaker 4: scheming against you in the red zone. Sometimes you get

1178
00:59:33,360 --> 00:59:36,000
Speaker 4: beat because you get physically beaten in the run game.

1179
00:59:36,320 --> 00:59:38,440
Speaker 4: Sometimes you get beat like we just saw, you know,

1180
00:59:38,480 --> 00:59:42,360
Speaker 4: a fade ball. So there's a number of reasons. But

1181
00:59:42,480 --> 00:59:46,440
Speaker 4: I don't think the Niners this year and the offense,

1182
00:59:46,480 --> 00:59:48,560
Speaker 4: I think it holds true as well. I don't think

1183
00:59:48,600 --> 00:59:51,920
Speaker 4: this year they've been as physically imposing a team. I

1184
00:59:51,960 --> 00:59:54,200
Speaker 4: think one of the things about the Niners, you know,

1185
00:59:54,200 --> 00:59:56,400
Speaker 4: everybody always talks about Kyle Shanahan and how well he

1186
00:59:56,520 --> 00:59:59,320
Speaker 4: schemes things. But I always felt that the Niners were

1187
00:59:59,360 --> 01:00:03,000
Speaker 4: a physical football team first and foremost, that it all

1188
01:00:03,160 --> 01:00:06,600
Speaker 4: started there and you really see that on offense. And

1189
01:00:06,680 --> 01:00:09,040
Speaker 4: maybe it's a McCaffrey thing. I know, you know, Mason

1190
01:00:09,080 --> 01:00:12,080
Speaker 4: obviously put up good numbers, but I always felt like

1191
01:00:12,120 --> 01:00:14,320
Speaker 4: when they got in the red zone, particularly last year,

1192
01:00:14,360 --> 01:00:16,520
Speaker 4: that they gave the ball to McCaffrey and he scored.

1193
01:00:16,920 --> 01:00:18,960
Speaker 4: And this year that's not you know, obviously he's only

1194
01:00:18,960 --> 01:00:22,600
Speaker 4: played three games, but you know, from a run game perspective,

1195
01:00:22,600 --> 01:00:25,040
Speaker 4: in the red zone, they have not been able to score.

1196
01:00:25,440 --> 01:00:27,800
Speaker 4: And you know how it is, you start getting tighter

1197
01:00:27,840 --> 01:00:30,720
Speaker 4: because their past game is built more on scheme than

1198
01:00:30,720 --> 01:00:34,160
Speaker 4: it is on just individual players. Then it becomes harder

1199
01:00:34,200 --> 01:00:36,400
Speaker 4: to scheme because there's so much less space.

1200
01:00:36,560 --> 01:00:38,760
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, And the real thing when you get down there,

1201
01:00:39,160 --> 01:00:42,600
Speaker 3: if you can run the ball, the other team's defenseless anyway,

1202
01:00:42,600 --> 01:00:44,600
Speaker 3: because that's not even you don't even put the ball

1203
01:00:44,640 --> 01:00:47,360
Speaker 3: at risk, so you know, yeah, you turn around, you

1204
01:00:47,400 --> 01:00:49,640
Speaker 3: hand it. And that's why the Bills have been notoriously

1205
01:00:49,640 --> 01:00:51,640
Speaker 3: pretty good in the red zone because Josh is always

1206
01:00:51,640 --> 01:00:53,440
Speaker 3: a threat and he can.

1207
01:00:53,200 --> 01:00:57,160
Speaker 4: Also Brownie you mentioned last week, Yeah, about Cook in

1208
01:00:57,160 --> 01:00:59,720
Speaker 4: the red zone. I mean Cook sometimes Cook looks like

1209
01:00:59,720 --> 01:01:01,320
Speaker 4: a differ and back in the red zone, just in

1210
01:01:01,400 --> 01:01:05,360
Speaker 4: terms of his physicality, right, you know. But and again

1211
01:01:05,400 --> 01:01:07,000
Speaker 4: the old line is of factor as well. I don't

1212
01:01:07,000 --> 01:01:09,160
Speaker 4: want to just shoor change the old line because this

1213
01:01:09,240 --> 01:01:11,480
Speaker 4: old line's been, you know, pretty darn good in the

1214
01:01:11,520 --> 01:01:14,400
Speaker 4: run game this year. But yeah, you guys know, if

1215
01:01:14,400 --> 01:01:17,400
Speaker 4: you can score touchdowns running the ball in the red zone,

1216
01:01:17,440 --> 01:01:19,680
Speaker 4: particularly in the low red zone, the ten yards in

1217
01:01:20,080 --> 01:01:22,040
Speaker 4: that is such a huge advantage.

1218
01:01:22,360 --> 01:01:24,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the Bills have done a great job of that.

1219
01:01:24,200 --> 01:01:26,480
Speaker 2: We actually had Osiris Torrance here in studio with this

1220
01:01:26,600 --> 01:01:29,280
Speaker 2: earlier this week, and I was asking him, what is

1221
01:01:29,400 --> 01:01:30,720
Speaker 2: what is going on down there?

1222
01:01:30,760 --> 01:01:33,360
Speaker 1: Because you know, Josh was usually.

1223
01:01:33,400 --> 01:01:36,280
Speaker 2: The guy, you know, taking it over the line, and

1224
01:01:36,360 --> 01:01:38,360
Speaker 2: now you've got a guy seven yards deep in the

1225
01:01:38,360 --> 01:01:40,640
Speaker 2: backfield doing it just as well, if not better.

1226
01:01:41,160 --> 01:01:43,720
Speaker 1: And he just said, we're moving people.

1227
01:01:43,800 --> 01:01:47,080
Speaker 2: We just feel like we're successfully moving people and winning

1228
01:01:47,080 --> 01:01:48,760
Speaker 2: at the line of scrimmage. And I would say their

1229
01:01:48,800 --> 01:01:51,720
Speaker 2: consistency down there has been probably the best we've seen

1230
01:01:51,800 --> 01:01:52,960
Speaker 2: maybe in the McDermott era.

1231
01:01:54,000 --> 01:01:57,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, And sometimes it's as simple as that, as you guys. Know,

1232
01:01:57,400 --> 01:01:59,959
Speaker 4: sometimes it's just being more physical than the other team.

1233
01:02:00,000 --> 01:02:03,000
Speaker 4: And you know, football for you know, all all the

1234
01:02:03,120 --> 01:02:05,000
Speaker 4: talk with you know, the past game and all that.

1235
01:02:05,040 --> 01:02:07,080
Speaker 4: And by the way, more and more teams this year

1236
01:02:07,080 --> 01:02:09,200
Speaker 4: in the league are playing a higher percentage of twelve

1237
01:02:09,200 --> 01:02:11,880
Speaker 4: personnel with two tight ends. More and more teams this

1238
01:02:11,960 --> 01:02:14,640
Speaker 4: year are running the football. You know, everything is cyclical

1239
01:02:14,680 --> 01:02:16,960
Speaker 4: in the NFL if you go back through the recent

1240
01:02:17,040 --> 01:02:19,880
Speaker 4: history and even further than that, the history of the league.

1241
01:02:19,920 --> 01:02:22,440
Speaker 4: Everything is cyclical the way it happens. And you know,

1242
01:02:22,560 --> 01:02:26,000
Speaker 4: teams are playing, like I said, more twelve more run game.

1243
01:02:26,240 --> 01:02:29,000
Speaker 4: You know, it's it just it all goes in cycles.

1244
01:02:29,960 --> 01:02:31,960
Speaker 3: So you got the Bills coming in that Bills are

1245
01:02:31,960 --> 01:02:34,000
Speaker 3: getting healthier, they just got off, they're coming off their

1246
01:02:34,040 --> 01:02:39,760
Speaker 3: bye week. They've got the sixth, fourth or fifth easiest

1247
01:02:39,760 --> 01:02:42,080
Speaker 3: schedule remaining. Of the six games they have left, the

1248
01:02:42,200 --> 01:02:44,520
Speaker 3: winning percentage is like four point three to two or

1249
01:02:44,560 --> 01:02:48,400
Speaker 3: something like that. You're you're and they've got a chance

1250
01:02:48,520 --> 01:02:50,440
Speaker 3: and a year where they were supposed to be rebuilding,

1251
01:02:51,280 --> 01:02:54,840
Speaker 3: to clinch the division earlier than any team in the league.

1252
01:02:55,840 --> 01:02:57,920
Speaker 4: They've got to be careful. Steve. In my opinion, I'm

1253
01:02:57,920 --> 01:03:00,120
Speaker 4: not in their locker room. You guys are in the building. Ye,

1254
01:03:00,240 --> 01:03:02,680
Speaker 4: but just you know, watching sports for one hundred years

1255
01:03:02,720 --> 01:03:04,560
Speaker 4: like we all have, I think they got to be

1256
01:03:04,560 --> 01:03:07,240
Speaker 4: a little careful because they could clinch the division. Did

1257
01:03:07,240 --> 01:03:09,160
Speaker 4: they clinch the division if they win Sunday night?

1258
01:03:09,240 --> 01:03:10,840
Speaker 3: Yeses it's clinched if they win.

1259
01:03:11,720 --> 01:03:13,960
Speaker 4: They got to be careful because you know, it's easy

1260
01:03:14,200 --> 01:03:17,080
Speaker 4: at that point to just this. You know, it's just

1261
01:03:17,160 --> 01:03:20,920
Speaker 4: human nature, you know, I mean, you know, because obviously

1262
01:03:20,960 --> 01:03:22,800
Speaker 4: they're still going to be fighting for a number, the

1263
01:03:22,920 --> 01:03:25,960
Speaker 4: number one overall seed. But it's just human nature. They

1264
01:03:25,960 --> 01:03:28,600
Speaker 4: got to just you know, they can't take the pedal

1265
01:03:28,640 --> 01:03:30,160
Speaker 4: off the metal as it were. You know, they got

1266
01:03:30,200 --> 01:03:33,240
Speaker 4: to keep pushing because you just you know, maybe they

1267
01:03:33,320 --> 01:03:35,400
Speaker 4: give a guy a rest here and there, but they

1268
01:03:35,480 --> 01:03:38,160
Speaker 4: can't act like the season is you know, is now

1269
01:03:38,240 --> 01:03:39,520
Speaker 4: done for six weeks.

1270
01:03:39,760 --> 01:03:43,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're on uh Milano, Watch here Greg, because he

1271
01:03:43,480 --> 01:03:45,200
Speaker 2: practiced fully this week.

1272
01:03:45,680 --> 01:03:46,880
Speaker 4: He's oh that's great.

1273
01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:48,200
Speaker 1: He's still on IR.

1274
01:03:49,000 --> 01:03:52,760
Speaker 2: He's gonna be listed as questionable and they have to

1275
01:03:52,800 --> 01:03:55,840
Speaker 2: make a decision by tomorrow at four as to whether

1276
01:03:55,880 --> 01:03:57,680
Speaker 2: to put him on the fifty three man roster to

1277
01:03:57,680 --> 01:04:00,960
Speaker 2: play on Sunday night. Just so you know, Wich McDermott said,

1278
01:04:01,280 --> 01:04:03,600
Speaker 2: you know, if he does play, it's probably going to

1279
01:04:03,680 --> 01:04:06,560
Speaker 2: be on a pitch count. But fifty eight fifty eight

1280
01:04:06,800 --> 01:04:08,880
Speaker 2: looks like he's going to be back sooner rather than later.

1281
01:04:09,080 --> 01:04:11,680
Speaker 4: Well, he's probably chomping at the bit, you know, knowing

1282
01:04:11,720 --> 01:04:15,200
Speaker 4: the kid, he probably is in mcdermot's here every five minutes.

1283
01:04:16,320 --> 01:04:19,200
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I mean he's been working hard. It's been

1284
01:04:19,240 --> 01:04:21,080
Speaker 3: thirteen months since he took a snap, and I remember

1285
01:04:21,160 --> 01:04:23,959
Speaker 3: he lost his last season because of a broken leg,

1286
01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:28,080
Speaker 3: and by all accounts, this extra time off because of

1287
01:04:28,120 --> 01:04:31,440
Speaker 3: the peck injury or the bicep injury has really allowed

1288
01:04:31,520 --> 01:04:33,400
Speaker 3: him to get his wheels back to where they were

1289
01:04:33,480 --> 01:04:35,800
Speaker 3: pre injury, and I think it's been, in that way

1290
01:04:35,840 --> 01:04:36,760
Speaker 3: a benefit to him.

1291
01:04:37,440 --> 01:04:39,400
Speaker 4: Well, I gotta tell you, I mean, you could make

1292
01:04:39,400 --> 01:04:42,000
Speaker 4: the argument a healthy Milano playing the way we know

1293
01:04:42,080 --> 01:04:44,000
Speaker 4: Milino could play, which is not going to happen the

1294
01:04:44,000 --> 01:04:48,240
Speaker 4: first game he plays, obviously, But Milano and Bernard as

1295
01:04:48,680 --> 01:04:52,200
Speaker 4: your nickel linebackers, that's a pretty darn good duo, don't

1296
01:04:52,240 --> 01:04:52,520
Speaker 4: you think.

1297
01:04:52,600 --> 01:04:54,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, especially when you have Taron Johnson lined up next

1298
01:04:55,000 --> 01:04:56,720
Speaker 2: to them.

1299
01:04:56,840 --> 01:04:57,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1300
01:04:57,000 --> 01:05:01,480
Speaker 4: Oh yeah. So it's a tough deal for for Dorian Williams.

1301
01:05:01,520 --> 01:05:04,000
Speaker 4: So I actually thinks played, you know, reasonably well this year.

1302
01:05:04,040 --> 01:05:06,720
Speaker 4: I think he's I think he's improved significantly from you know,

1303
01:05:06,760 --> 01:05:07,600
Speaker 4: his rookie season.

1304
01:05:07,680 --> 01:05:08,280
Speaker 1: I would agree.

1305
01:05:08,360 --> 01:05:10,479
Speaker 2: I would agree with that as well, reading it better,

1306
01:05:10,600 --> 01:05:13,320
Speaker 2: reacting to it faster. He's Yeah, he has been solid.

1307
01:05:13,320 --> 01:05:15,600
Speaker 2: He has been their leading tackler, I think in more

1308
01:05:15,640 --> 01:05:17,080
Speaker 2: than half of their games this season.

1309
01:05:17,160 --> 01:05:19,680
Speaker 1: He he gets to the ball in a hurry.

1310
01:05:20,520 --> 01:05:21,200
Speaker 4: He sure does.

1311
01:05:21,480 --> 01:05:22,880
Speaker 1: Greg enjoy this one.

1312
01:05:23,920 --> 01:05:26,800
Speaker 2: We'll see who San Francisco actually puts on the field

1313
01:05:27,160 --> 01:05:30,880
Speaker 2: which may have an impact on it. And I'm sure

1314
01:05:30,920 --> 01:05:33,480
Speaker 2: you'll enjoy seeing the snow fly. There is snow in the.

1315
01:05:33,400 --> 01:05:35,520
Speaker 4: Fourth is it supposed to snow during the game.

1316
01:05:35,960 --> 01:05:40,520
Speaker 2: So it supposed to be heavier pregame, but there should

1317
01:05:40,600 --> 01:05:43,120
Speaker 2: still be snow during the game. There is a chance

1318
01:05:43,160 --> 01:05:45,840
Speaker 2: that it will taper off completely by the second half,

1319
01:05:46,240 --> 01:05:48,920
Speaker 2: definitely by the end of the game, but there is

1320
01:05:48,960 --> 01:05:51,000
Speaker 2: supposed to be snow during portions of the game.

1321
01:05:52,200 --> 01:05:56,400
Speaker 4: Ah okay, Well, these these Sunday night games are tough

1322
01:05:56,400 --> 01:05:57,240
Speaker 4: for me, guys, you know.

1323
01:05:58,920 --> 01:06:00,760
Speaker 3: You know, listen with you.

1324
01:06:01,080 --> 01:06:02,240
Speaker 1: I am right, I gotta get.

1325
01:06:02,160 --> 01:06:04,720
Speaker 4: You know, I'm a senior now. Unfortunately, I got to

1326
01:06:04,760 --> 01:06:05,360
Speaker 4: get my rest.

1327
01:06:05,400 --> 01:06:07,720
Speaker 3: You know, I'm way ahead of you.

1328
01:06:09,680 --> 01:06:11,640
Speaker 1: All right, Thanks Greg, we'll catch up for the next week.

1329
01:06:11,680 --> 01:06:13,000
Speaker 4: All right, guys, have a great weekend.

1330
01:06:13,040 --> 01:06:13,840
Speaker 3: Thank you. All right.

1331
01:06:13,960 --> 01:06:17,880
Speaker 2: That is Greg Cosel, senior producer from NFL Films, joining

1332
01:06:17,920 --> 01:06:20,040
Speaker 2: us as he does every Friday, talking to little x's

1333
01:06:20,040 --> 01:06:26,400
Speaker 2: and o's there. And it's hard to know how big

1334
01:06:26,640 --> 01:06:28,760
Speaker 2: the plan is going to be for the Niners, to

1335
01:06:28,960 --> 01:06:32,720
Speaker 2: Greg's point, A, based on who they have at quarterback

1336
01:06:33,600 --> 01:06:36,720
Speaker 2: and B who they're gonna have on their offensive line.

1337
01:06:37,440 --> 01:06:40,400
Speaker 2: Their left tackle Trent Williams hasn't practiced at all this week,

1338
01:06:41,040 --> 01:06:44,000
Speaker 2: neither is their left guard Aaron Banks, who's in concussion protocol,

1339
01:06:44,360 --> 01:06:47,280
Speaker 2: and their right guard Dominic Pooney has been limited in

1340
01:06:47,320 --> 01:06:48,560
Speaker 2: practice with an injury too.

1341
01:06:48,840 --> 01:06:51,560
Speaker 1: I mean, that's sixty percent of your offensive line.

1342
01:06:51,640 --> 01:06:54,800
Speaker 2: If you're missing even two of those guys, you probably

1343
01:06:54,840 --> 01:06:58,400
Speaker 2: have to alter your game plan too, because maybe you're

1344
01:06:58,440 --> 01:07:00,720
Speaker 2: not as confident past protections gonna hold up on a

1345
01:07:00,720 --> 01:07:03,480
Speaker 2: play action, you know, that kind of stuff that weighs

1346
01:07:03,520 --> 01:07:06,200
Speaker 2: into what Shanahan's gonna call.

1347
01:07:06,320 --> 01:07:09,200
Speaker 3: Right, and it's it's not gonna get that much better.

1348
01:07:09,200 --> 01:07:10,880
Speaker 3: And I think now here's the thing. I think Trent

1349
01:07:10,920 --> 01:07:13,760
Speaker 3: Wims will probably go. He's gonna he doesn't need the practice.

1350
01:07:14,200 --> 01:07:16,400
Speaker 3: He's got an ankle injury, a little bit like Spencer

1351
01:07:16,400 --> 01:07:20,280
Speaker 3: Brown's the same body part. And you know we've said

1352
01:07:20,480 --> 01:07:23,919
Speaker 3: time and time again guys can kind of buck up

1353
01:07:24,360 --> 01:07:29,320
Speaker 3: and make that work. But they've got three defensive linemen

1354
01:07:29,320 --> 01:07:36,160
Speaker 3: that are down, including Nick Bosa. Yep, yes, and you

1355
01:07:37,560 --> 01:07:39,200
Speaker 3: in Buffalo when we got a couple of guys hurting

1356
01:07:39,240 --> 01:07:40,520
Speaker 3: all that, it was always, hey, we got this next

1357
01:07:40,560 --> 01:07:43,320
Speaker 3: man that with I haven't heard that from the Niners. Yeah,

1358
01:07:43,800 --> 01:07:46,320
Speaker 3: there's like there ain't no next man, right. That's where

1359
01:07:46,440 --> 01:07:47,640
Speaker 3: how far it is down? Right?

1360
01:07:47,680 --> 01:07:50,160
Speaker 2: And their defensive line has got just as big a problem.

1361
01:07:50,200 --> 01:07:53,480
Speaker 2: It's not just Bosa, it's the other defensive it's the

1362
01:07:53,480 --> 01:07:55,680
Speaker 2: defensive tackle lines up next to him, Jordan Elliott. He

1363
01:07:55,680 --> 01:07:57,960
Speaker 2: has not practiced at all this week, and he's been

1364
01:07:58,000 --> 01:08:02,120
Speaker 2: filling in for Javon Hargray, who's on injured reserve. So

1365
01:08:02,360 --> 01:08:05,440
Speaker 2: they could potentially be down to their third string defensive

1366
01:08:05,520 --> 01:08:06,840
Speaker 2: tackle starting.

1367
01:08:08,120 --> 01:08:11,160
Speaker 3: Another defensive lineman, Kevin Gibbons, is down or has been

1368
01:08:13,320 --> 01:08:14,440
Speaker 3: limited in practice.

1369
01:08:15,240 --> 01:08:17,599
Speaker 2: I mean, it's a long list and their starting corner

1370
01:08:17,600 --> 01:08:21,479
Speaker 2: Diamador Lenore, has not practiced at all this week. He

1371
01:08:21,640 --> 01:08:25,560
Speaker 2: slides into their nickel role when they go to a

1372
01:08:25,640 --> 01:08:28,799
Speaker 2: nickel package, and even his backup Bernardo Green, the rookie,

1373
01:08:29,120 --> 01:08:29,960
Speaker 2: has been limited.

1374
01:08:30,880 --> 01:08:33,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's that time of year for some of these teams,

1375
01:08:35,200 --> 01:08:37,240
Speaker 3: and as we've said, the Bills are coming off their

1376
01:08:37,280 --> 01:08:40,000
Speaker 3: buy They're going to be refreshed, so you would think

1377
01:08:40,040 --> 01:08:41,439
Speaker 3: they would come out with a little bit of spring

1378
01:08:41,439 --> 01:08:45,160
Speaker 3: in their step. McDermott has and his staff have handled

1379
01:08:45,200 --> 01:08:47,800
Speaker 3: the buye as well as anybody in the league over

1380
01:08:47,840 --> 01:08:49,400
Speaker 3: the course of his tenure as head coach. They have

1381
01:08:49,479 --> 01:08:51,160
Speaker 3: yet to lose a game coming out of the bye

1382
01:08:52,040 --> 01:08:55,679
Speaker 3: seven to zero. But every game is that its own animal,

1383
01:08:55,680 --> 01:08:59,320
Speaker 3: and this Niners team could, in their desperation to stay

1384
01:08:59,320 --> 01:09:01,120
Speaker 3: in their division race, come out and put out a

1385
01:09:01,120 --> 01:09:02,840
Speaker 3: great effort and beat the Bills. That you got to

1386
01:09:02,840 --> 01:09:05,120
Speaker 3: know that's possible. So the Bills have got to come

1387
01:09:05,160 --> 01:09:07,840
Speaker 3: out and treat this like it is the game it is.

1388
01:09:07,880 --> 01:09:11,639
Speaker 3: It's a chance to clinch the division. There's a lot

1389
01:09:11,840 --> 01:09:14,559
Speaker 3: in this game for both these teams, and that's you know,

1390
01:09:14,640 --> 01:09:16,960
Speaker 3: that's what you would hope for a Sunday night game

1391
01:09:17,000 --> 01:09:19,519
Speaker 3: late in the season, even if it is out of conference.

1392
01:09:20,560 --> 01:09:23,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're desperate.

1393
01:09:24,320 --> 01:09:24,880
Speaker 3: They need to be.

1394
01:09:24,920 --> 01:09:25,599
Speaker 1: They need the game.

1395
01:09:25,720 --> 01:09:27,479
Speaker 3: That's it. They got to have it. The Niners have

1396
01:09:27,520 --> 01:09:28,800
Speaker 3: got to have it, and you're going to see it,

1397
01:09:30,080 --> 01:09:30,519
Speaker 3: I think.

1398
01:09:30,680 --> 01:09:33,640
Speaker 2: I mean, unfortunately, I know the win helps them in

1399
01:09:33,760 --> 01:09:36,000
Speaker 2: terms of overall record, the fact that it's an AFC

1400
01:09:36,080 --> 01:09:39,080
Speaker 2: opponent does not help them. They need conference wins, they

1401
01:09:39,120 --> 01:09:42,759
Speaker 2: need division wins. They are one in three in the division.

1402
01:09:43,120 --> 01:09:44,600
Speaker 2: The best they're going to be able to do is

1403
01:09:44,600 --> 01:09:48,360
Speaker 2: three and three, So they've got an uphill climb here,

1404
01:09:49,000 --> 01:09:49,840
Speaker 2: to say the least.

1405
01:09:49,880 --> 01:09:52,400
Speaker 3: But they're only one game back, a full game back, yes,

1406
01:09:52,520 --> 01:09:56,880
Speaker 3: from Seattle and Arizona, and they're they lose the tiebreaker

1407
01:09:56,880 --> 01:10:00,200
Speaker 3: to the Rams, so they're fourth in their division and

1408
01:10:00,240 --> 01:10:03,479
Speaker 3: that's it. Everybody's within a game of each other, so

1409
01:10:03,520 --> 01:10:07,439
Speaker 3: they're they've got to hang in there. Now they'll they'll

1410
01:10:07,479 --> 01:10:10,280
Speaker 3: know how much they can gain and because Seattle and

1411
01:10:10,320 --> 01:10:13,960
Speaker 3: Arizona will have played earlier in the day. Uh, the schedule.

1412
01:10:16,439 --> 01:10:19,360
Speaker 3: The schedule is that the let's see who they play.

1413
01:10:19,400 --> 01:10:23,120
Speaker 3: The The Seahawks play at the Jets, so they're gonna

1414
01:10:23,120 --> 01:10:26,680
Speaker 3: know the difference of that. The Rams play at the Saints. Uh,

1415
01:10:26,720 --> 01:10:34,400
Speaker 3: and the Cardinals play at the Vikings. That's it. Now,

1416
01:10:34,439 --> 01:10:38,000
Speaker 3: the Seahawks are gonna beat the Jets. Let's just say

1417
01:10:38,320 --> 01:10:42,000
Speaker 3: Rams are probably gonna beat the Saints. But the Cardinals

1418
01:10:42,200 --> 01:10:45,760
Speaker 3: at the nine and two vikings. Yeah, on the coast,

1419
01:10:45,920 --> 01:10:48,160
Speaker 3: we'll see at Central time. It's only an hour. It's

1420
01:10:48,200 --> 01:10:52,280
Speaker 3: only an hour difference. I think. Yeah, they're gonna know

1421
01:10:52,320 --> 01:10:55,960
Speaker 3: all that stuff, so that will further light a fire

1422
01:10:56,040 --> 01:10:58,559
Speaker 3: under the Niners to come in and desperately play this

1423
01:10:58,680 --> 01:11:00,960
Speaker 3: game to win. And and they're believe me, the coaching

1424
01:11:00,960 --> 01:11:03,040
Speaker 3: staff knows it too, so they're going to pull out

1425
01:11:03,040 --> 01:11:03,639
Speaker 3: all the stops.

1426
01:11:04,600 --> 01:11:07,320
Speaker 2: Let's get back to the Friday fanmailbag to answer some

1427
01:11:07,400 --> 01:11:09,280
Speaker 2: of your questions while we have a few minutes here.

1428
01:11:09,800 --> 01:11:14,040
Speaker 2: Next one comes from David, who says, for Brownie, we've seen.

1429
01:11:13,840 --> 01:11:15,160
Speaker 1: A few videos of you in the booth.

1430
01:11:15,160 --> 01:11:17,439
Speaker 2: How are you so physically calm yet verbally jumping to

1431
01:11:17,479 --> 01:11:18,599
Speaker 2: the moon on big plays.

1432
01:11:19,000 --> 01:11:22,000
Speaker 1: It's extremely impressive. Is that just you or is it learned?

1433
01:11:22,320 --> 01:11:25,200
Speaker 1: I would say it's learned, and it's learned from my

1434
01:11:25,320 --> 01:11:28,360
Speaker 1: day sitting in the press box when I was the

1435
01:11:28,439 --> 01:11:31,760
Speaker 1: lead journalist for Buffalo bills dot Com. For those that have.

1436
01:11:31,760 --> 01:11:34,720
Speaker 2: Been in a professional sports press box, there is no

1437
01:11:34,800 --> 01:11:39,080
Speaker 2: cheering of any kind allowed, or gesticulating or jumping up

1438
01:11:39,120 --> 01:11:42,000
Speaker 2: and down. So over the last twenty years, I got

1439
01:11:42,040 --> 01:11:47,400
Speaker 2: accustomed to not reacting physically or even verbally, to be

1440
01:11:47,520 --> 01:11:50,559
Speaker 2: quite honest, sitting in the press box at games for

1441
01:11:50,640 --> 01:11:53,360
Speaker 2: the better part of the last twenty years, so I

1442
01:11:53,360 --> 01:11:56,639
Speaker 2: think that's been kind of ingrained in me. I can't

1443
01:11:56,640 --> 01:11:58,880
Speaker 2: say the same for my broadcast partner, who sits three

1444
01:11:59,000 --> 01:12:00,719
Speaker 2: rows behind me in the cast booth.

1445
01:12:01,200 --> 01:12:02,639
Speaker 1: Steve gets a little excited.

1446
01:12:02,720 --> 01:12:06,200
Speaker 3: I'm impossible. It was a couple of weeks. I don't

1447
01:12:06,240 --> 01:12:08,200
Speaker 3: know what game it was this year. I had to apologize.

1448
01:12:08,280 --> 01:12:11,360
Speaker 3: But that but.

1449
01:12:11,479 --> 01:12:15,599
Speaker 2: And the physical gesticulations are just as demonstrative as.

1450
01:12:15,760 --> 01:12:21,080
Speaker 3: I'm bodies englishing everything. Yes, I'm leaning, I'm leaning back,

1451
01:12:21,120 --> 01:12:24,479
Speaker 3: I'm leaning sideways, both directions. I've got my he is

1452
01:12:24,479 --> 01:12:26,599
Speaker 3: a show. I'm like, am ready to bang my head

1453
01:12:26,600 --> 01:12:29,160
Speaker 3: off the table. I'm going down low on somebody. It's

1454
01:12:29,200 --> 01:12:32,080
Speaker 3: just I'm everywhere. I'm all over the map. Yeah, it's

1455
01:12:32,200 --> 01:12:34,880
Speaker 3: very And I sit between John Murphy and Maddie Glad

1456
01:12:36,080 --> 01:12:38,920
Speaker 3: They're both looking at me like, yeah, hit you.

1457
01:12:38,920 --> 01:12:41,160
Speaker 1: Over the head with a pot or what is wrong

1458
01:12:41,240 --> 01:12:44,080
Speaker 1: with you? Yeah, but yeah, I don't.

1459
01:12:44,439 --> 01:12:46,560
Speaker 2: I don't react physically because I think it was a

1460
01:12:46,640 --> 01:12:48,960
Speaker 2: learned thing sitting in the press box for so long.

1461
01:12:49,200 --> 01:12:51,639
Speaker 2: It's just where you have to be, this neutral observer,

1462
01:12:52,360 --> 01:12:54,719
Speaker 2: and now I don't have to be nearly as much.

1463
01:12:55,200 --> 01:12:58,400
Speaker 2: And so I would say eventually, because if you if

1464
01:12:58,439 --> 01:13:00,320
Speaker 2: you talk to my wife and kids with me watching

1465
01:13:00,360 --> 01:13:01,960
Speaker 2: a game at home, I mean there's times I will

1466
01:13:02,040 --> 01:13:04,080
Speaker 2: literally jump off the couch and run out of the room.

1467
01:13:04,120 --> 01:13:06,400
Speaker 2: I'm so excited about what happened. If it's one of

1468
01:13:06,439 --> 01:13:07,639
Speaker 2: the teams that I root for.

1469
01:13:07,760 --> 01:13:13,439
Speaker 3: That, yeah, it is, Yes, it is. I'll say this

1470
01:13:13,479 --> 01:13:15,880
Speaker 3: too for most people who you heard what you just

1471
01:13:15,920 --> 01:13:18,720
Speaker 3: said and didn't really register. In the press box at

1472
01:13:18,720 --> 01:13:21,280
Speaker 3: an NFL game is full of people and it's all

1473
01:13:21,400 --> 01:13:26,280
Speaker 3: media and stuff happens on the field that is absolutely unbelieving,

1474
01:13:26,320 --> 01:13:28,320
Speaker 3: like the twenty six yard fourth and two run by

1475
01:13:28,360 --> 01:13:30,439
Speaker 3: Josh Allen touchdown is gonna put the game away against

1476
01:13:30,479 --> 01:13:35,240
Speaker 3: the Chiefs. On that game, it is nobody says a word.

1477
01:13:35,880 --> 01:13:39,200
Speaker 3: It is the most amazing phenomenon that I witnessed it

1478
01:13:39,240 --> 01:13:45,280
Speaker 3: a couple of times. Yeah, and it's unbelievable. That's really unbelievable.

1479
01:13:45,320 --> 01:13:49,000
Speaker 2: It's considered that this is a professional press box. Cheering

1480
01:13:49,120 --> 01:13:53,000
Speaker 2: is prohibited of any kind. You know who's hollers whatever.

1481
01:13:53,320 --> 01:13:56,439
Speaker 2: There is none of that in a in an NFL

1482
01:13:56,640 --> 01:13:57,920
Speaker 2: or many other press box.

1483
01:13:57,960 --> 01:14:00,479
Speaker 3: And you look outside and in the him you know,

1484
01:14:00,560 --> 01:14:03,080
Speaker 3: the glass there in front of those wind it knocks

1485
01:14:03,120 --> 01:14:07,920
Speaker 3: out a lot of the noise, and it's amazing to

1486
01:14:07,960 --> 01:14:11,479
Speaker 3: see the crowd absolutely losing its mind and these guys

1487
01:14:11,520 --> 01:14:13,439
Speaker 3: all sitting there with their heads down just kind of

1488
01:14:13,479 --> 01:14:18,960
Speaker 3: nodding and texting and tapping on their keyboards. It's amazing.

1489
01:14:20,000 --> 01:14:22,240
Speaker 2: We have to take a break here because when we

1490
01:14:22,320 --> 01:14:25,280
Speaker 2: come back, we are going to reveal to you this

1491
01:14:25,320 --> 01:14:28,320
Speaker 2: week's legend of the game when the Bills host the

1492
01:14:28,320 --> 01:14:29,120
Speaker 2: forty nine Ers.

1493
01:14:29,680 --> 01:14:32,040
Speaker 1: And I'll give you a hint.

1494
01:14:32,520 --> 01:14:34,960
Speaker 2: The jersey number he wore with the Bills was a

1495
01:14:35,000 --> 01:14:38,080
Speaker 2: single digit. We'll see if that helps you when we

1496
01:14:38,120 --> 01:14:40,360
Speaker 2: return here on One Bill's Live presented by Collide To

Speaker 1: Now, Doug, how you doing.

1509
01:15:10,120 --> 01:15:13,120
Speaker 5: I'm doing well, hanging in Florida, nice and toasty warm

1510
01:15:13,200 --> 01:15:15,240
Speaker 5: right now, even though it's Thanksgiving. I know I'm coming

1511
01:15:15,280 --> 01:15:17,200
Speaker 5: into the snow and cold up in Buffalo.

1512
01:15:17,560 --> 01:15:19,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, we were asking you, but we've came on. Have

1513
01:15:20,040 --> 01:15:21,160
Speaker 3: you got gear for this?

1514
01:15:23,760 --> 01:15:24,080
Speaker 5: Sure?

1515
01:15:24,680 --> 01:15:26,559
Speaker 6: But I have to go find it, Like I was

1516
01:15:26,600 --> 01:15:28,800
Speaker 6: calling around on the cross base last night finding some

1517
01:15:28,840 --> 01:15:33,599
Speaker 6: foods in a heavy coat. So yeah, you know, it'll

1518
01:15:33,680 --> 01:15:35,000
Speaker 6: be fun for me because I don't have to do

1519
01:15:35,040 --> 01:15:37,200
Speaker 6: that once in a while. So it's fun when it's

1520
01:15:37,240 --> 01:15:37,839
Speaker 6: that way.

1521
01:15:38,120 --> 01:15:42,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, we were thinking this matchup. It's been

1522
01:15:42,840 --> 01:15:45,880
Speaker 2: interesting because they don't play the forty nine Ers often. Uh,

1523
01:15:46,000 --> 01:15:47,920
Speaker 2: you guys got to do it back in ninety eight.

1524
01:15:47,960 --> 01:15:50,960
Speaker 2: I remember after getting off to an zero to three

1525
01:15:51,080 --> 01:15:53,840
Speaker 2: start and you started to turn it around from there.

1526
01:15:53,880 --> 01:15:56,559
Speaker 2: I know, you know, you kind of vacillated between you

1527
01:15:56,640 --> 01:15:58,840
Speaker 2: and Rob and the lineup based on Rob's health and

1528
01:15:59,240 --> 01:16:02,000
Speaker 2: you know, things like that. But you guys were able

1529
01:16:02,000 --> 01:16:04,120
Speaker 2: to overcome an zero to three start. You beat a

1530
01:16:04,120 --> 01:16:07,320
Speaker 2: Steve Young team, you know back in ninety eight that

1531
01:16:07,479 --> 01:16:12,280
Speaker 2: was really loaded. It's been kind of a cool I

1532
01:16:12,320 --> 01:16:14,080
Speaker 2: don't want to call it a rivalry because they don't

1533
01:16:14,080 --> 01:16:16,240
Speaker 2: play them often enough, but there have been some pretty

1534
01:16:16,640 --> 01:16:19,960
Speaker 2: cool games between these two teams over the years.

1535
01:16:20,280 --> 01:16:22,840
Speaker 5: Well, you know, it's just anytime you played the Nine,

1536
01:16:22,960 --> 01:16:23,840
Speaker 5: especially back then.

1537
01:16:23,960 --> 01:16:26,479
Speaker 6: You know, we went straight from Montana to Young and

1538
01:16:26,520 --> 01:16:29,200
Speaker 6: they were a staple at the top of the league,

1539
01:16:29,240 --> 01:16:31,599
Speaker 6: so it was always the game or a big.

1540
01:16:31,479 --> 01:16:34,280
Speaker 5: Challenge or an.

1541
01:16:34,160 --> 01:16:37,920
Speaker 6: Exciting game to play. I do remember playing out there.

1542
01:16:39,680 --> 01:16:40,559
Speaker 3: Is it that game?

1543
01:16:40,960 --> 01:16:41,040
Speaker 2: No?

1544
01:16:41,360 --> 01:16:44,120
Speaker 5: Oh, my goodness, that was way back. I'm sorry.

1545
01:16:44,160 --> 01:16:47,120
Speaker 6: I had a little back when the I played against

1546
01:16:47,160 --> 01:16:52,200
Speaker 6: San Francisco the week after the earthquake out there and

1547
01:16:52,240 --> 01:16:56,960
Speaker 6: we had to move up to the stadium that Stanford

1548
01:16:57,000 --> 01:16:59,400
Speaker 6: plays in. The hotels the stadium all had cracks in

1549
01:16:59,439 --> 01:17:03,120
Speaker 6: the wall, acting the sidewalks and all that type of stuff.

1550
01:17:03,160 --> 01:17:06,280
Speaker 5: So for those are my memories of playing the forty

1551
01:17:06,360 --> 01:17:06,960
Speaker 5: nine ers.

1552
01:17:07,600 --> 01:17:07,920
Speaker 3: We had.

1553
01:17:08,000 --> 01:17:10,599
Speaker 6: We did, we did have a big win against San Francisco,

1554
01:17:10,720 --> 01:17:12,519
Speaker 6: kind of kicked the soft and got us rolling in

1555
01:17:12,560 --> 01:17:15,959
Speaker 6: the right direction and created a nice little run forse.

1556
01:17:15,760 --> 01:17:16,400
Speaker 5: In ninety eight.

1557
01:17:16,800 --> 01:17:19,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that was I also I remember him too.

1558
01:17:19,080 --> 01:17:21,840
Speaker 3: We going out to Candlestick. That was one of the

1559
01:17:21,840 --> 01:17:24,760
Speaker 3: first games when we hit those guys out there and

1560
01:17:24,880 --> 01:17:27,280
Speaker 3: neither team punted and the only way the other team

1561
01:17:27,320 --> 01:17:28,840
Speaker 3: got the balls if you scored or if we turned

1562
01:17:28,840 --> 01:17:30,760
Speaker 3: it over. There were like three turnovers in the game

1563
01:17:30,800 --> 01:17:34,479
Speaker 3: and no punts. That was this. That was a Steve

1564
01:17:34,520 --> 01:17:35,719
Speaker 3: Young Jim Kelly special.

1565
01:17:37,400 --> 01:17:39,080
Speaker 5: That's that's CFL football right now.

1566
01:17:39,080 --> 01:17:41,559
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, oh.

1567
01:17:41,479 --> 01:17:44,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, go ahead.

1568
01:17:45,000 --> 01:17:46,600
Speaker 5: I didn't ask, I didn't hear a question or.

1569
01:17:46,920 --> 01:17:47,680
Speaker 3: No, that's all right.

1570
01:17:48,160 --> 01:17:49,799
Speaker 1: I thought you were going to go off on CFL.

1571
01:17:49,880 --> 01:17:53,040
Speaker 2: But look, I mean, you got this Niners team and

1572
01:17:53,080 --> 01:17:55,200
Speaker 2: they are they are beat up, like they are a

1573
01:17:55,240 --> 01:17:58,479
Speaker 2: mass unit. They don't know if Perdy is gonna play

1574
01:17:58,560 --> 01:18:01,120
Speaker 2: or not. It might be branded and again a quarterback

1575
01:18:01,160 --> 01:18:03,240
Speaker 2: for them. And you know, they got big names that

1576
01:18:03,280 --> 01:18:05,080
Speaker 2: could be out of the lineup, like Bosa on the

1577
01:18:05,120 --> 01:18:08,719
Speaker 2: defensive side, the left tackle Trent Williams may not play.

1578
01:18:10,000 --> 01:18:12,320
Speaker 1: They look like a wounded animal coming in here.

1579
01:18:12,360 --> 01:18:16,120
Speaker 2: But uh, I always think of the famous quote by

1580
01:18:16,200 --> 01:18:20,160
Speaker 2: Rudy Tom Johanovich, the famous Houston Rockets head coach back

1581
01:18:20,160 --> 01:18:23,320
Speaker 2: in the nineties, who always said, never underestimate the heart

1582
01:18:23,320 --> 01:18:23,920
Speaker 2: of a champion.

1583
01:18:23,960 --> 01:18:26,280
Speaker 1: And they are the defending NFC champions.

1584
01:18:27,560 --> 01:18:30,559
Speaker 6: I mean, Rockberty had an amazing year last year, played

1585
01:18:30,920 --> 01:18:34,000
Speaker 6: under fire through the through the playoffs.

1586
01:18:34,040 --> 01:18:36,559
Speaker 5: Just the pressure didn't bother him. And he's that kind

1587
01:18:36,640 --> 01:18:37,000
Speaker 5: of guy.

1588
01:18:37,640 --> 01:18:40,760
Speaker 6: Uh, if you're starting quarterbacks out, I'm sorry, whether whether

1589
01:18:40,800 --> 01:18:44,320
Speaker 6: you're rallying the troops and circle the wagons all that stuff,

1590
01:18:45,320 --> 01:18:47,840
Speaker 6: a guy like that being out or especially bosas a

1591
01:18:48,040 --> 01:18:52,160
Speaker 6: from a quarterback standpoint, that guy, that premiere pass rush guy,

1592
01:18:53,120 --> 01:18:55,599
Speaker 6: he's a He's a determining factor.

1593
01:18:55,640 --> 01:18:58,040
Speaker 5: He determines a lot of pass protection. What you can

1594
01:18:58,040 --> 01:18:58,760
Speaker 5: and cannot do.

1595
01:18:58,840 --> 01:19:00,600
Speaker 6: How long is going to hold the ball, Are the

1596
01:19:00,640 --> 01:19:02,400
Speaker 6: backs going to be chipping or you're gonna keep the

1597
01:19:02,400 --> 01:19:04,120
Speaker 6: tight end in there on his side and try to

1598
01:19:04,120 --> 01:19:06,880
Speaker 6: bang them around a little bit. When you lose a

1599
01:19:06,880 --> 01:19:10,040
Speaker 6: premier pass rusher, it changes a lot of things. Uh,

1600
01:19:10,120 --> 01:19:13,200
Speaker 6: that all of a sudden, your whole offense is in play,

1601
01:19:13,560 --> 01:19:15,040
Speaker 6: all of a sudden, you're hanging on the ball that

1602
01:19:15,120 --> 01:19:18,120
Speaker 6: traction of a second longer Alellan things have developed to me,

1603
01:19:18,680 --> 01:19:22,400
Speaker 6: obviously thinking from an offensive standpoint, that that's a huge

1604
01:19:22,439 --> 01:19:25,280
Speaker 6: factor because when we played teams that had a Reggie

1605
01:19:25,280 --> 01:19:28,960
Speaker 6: White or teams have played against Bruce Smith in his prime,

1606
01:19:29,720 --> 01:19:31,320
Speaker 6: that was their major concern.

1607
01:19:31,400 --> 01:19:32,160
Speaker 5: How do we handle that?

1608
01:19:32,240 --> 01:19:34,479
Speaker 6: Do we slide the line, do we put a back

1609
01:19:34,520 --> 01:19:36,439
Speaker 6: on that side? Do we put a tight end over

1610
01:19:36,479 --> 01:19:40,840
Speaker 6: his head? So that that's a big deal. That that

1611
01:19:40,960 --> 01:19:43,360
Speaker 6: and right now, right now, the way the builds are playing,

1612
01:19:44,880 --> 01:19:47,200
Speaker 6: don't even worry about that. It's worried about us. If

1613
01:19:47,200 --> 01:19:50,280
Speaker 6: we play well, our best is good enough, will win.

1614
01:19:50,400 --> 01:19:52,280
Speaker 6: Don't don't try.

1615
01:19:52,080 --> 01:19:54,320
Speaker 5: To do anything. We don't have to know. You don't

1616
01:19:54,320 --> 01:19:56,960
Speaker 5: have to do anything special, Just be you. They're playing

1617
01:19:57,000 --> 01:19:57,840
Speaker 5: so well right now.

1618
01:19:57,960 --> 01:20:00,920
Speaker 3: I love watching Josh Boy to give give us an idea.

1619
01:20:01,120 --> 01:20:02,760

Speaker 3: You know?

1642
01:21:04,360 --> 01:21:09,960
Speaker 2: In professional football retirement, for lack of a better term, unbelievable.

1643
01:21:09,960 --> 01:21:11,640
Speaker 6: When I retired, I've been out of the game for

1644
01:21:11,680 --> 01:21:15,560
Speaker 6: eighteen years. When I retired, I thought it's going to

1645
01:21:15,600 --> 01:21:17,479
Speaker 6: be a struggle. It's going to be tough, because you know,

1646
01:21:17,560 --> 01:21:22,080
Speaker 6: the notoriety drops off. We are flourishing. We've got a

1647

Speaker 6: new director, Nick Evarie that you know in COVID we

1648
01:21:27,360 --> 01:21:30,519
Speaker 6: had to do some things virtually. And what it's done

1649
01:21:31,080 --> 01:21:35,400
Speaker 6: is we realize to add a virtual concept to every

1650
01:21:35,520 --> 01:21:38,800
Speaker 6: event we do. And our fundraising has been through the roof,

1651
01:21:38,840 --> 01:21:40,760
Speaker 6: so we keep putting. The last three years, we keep

1652
01:21:40,800 --> 01:21:44,080
Speaker 6: breaking our former record on fundraising. The people have been

1653
01:21:44,120 --> 01:21:48,280
Speaker 6: amazing people. It makes me how many warm hearted, good

1654
01:21:48,320 --> 01:21:51,240
Speaker 6: people are out there that support you, that volunteer, that

1656
01:21:54,880 --> 01:21:58,680

1657
01:21:58,720 --> 01:22:03,200
Speaker 6: my wife and I the legacy, it's Dougie's legacy and

1658
01:22:03,280 --> 01:22:07,640
Speaker 6: it's worth just his boys and uh, it's it's just

1659
01:22:07,800 --> 01:22:12,320
Speaker 6: been stronger than ever the last few years. It's been

1660
01:22:12,360 --> 01:22:14,080
Speaker 6: amazing for me to see because I was a little

1661
01:22:14,120 --> 01:22:16,479
Speaker 6: worried about that. You know how how my d window,

1662
01:22:16,560 --> 01:22:20,439
Speaker 6: as I ask, my popularity went off after football.

1663
01:22:21,320 --> 01:22:23,080
Speaker 3: Well, Doug is certainly gonna be good to see. I

1664
01:22:23,120 --> 01:22:25,400
Speaker 3: know you're in for a treat. Uh, it's gonna be

1665
01:22:26,520 --> 01:22:28,599

01:22:36,400 --> 01:22:40,519
Speaker 6: the Stadium. I say this all the time about Bill's

1670
01:22:40,560 --> 01:22:42,800
Speaker 6: fans are the most amazing. They would show up on

1671
01:22:42,880 --> 01:22:45,360
Speaker 6: Wednesday with their RBS and go on vacation for the

1672
01:22:45,439 --> 01:22:50,280
Speaker 6: week to the parking lot and papia and the slamming

1673
01:22:50,320 --> 01:22:52,760
Speaker 6: of tables and everything else. It's it's they're one of

1674
01:22:52,760 --> 01:22:55,200
Speaker 6: a kind and second to none.

1675
01:22:56,080 --> 01:22:56,320
Speaker 1: Dog.

1676
01:22:56,400 --> 01:22:59,280
Speaker 2: Thanks, make sure you get them amped up right before kickoff.

1677
01:22:59,320 --> 01:23:00,439
Speaker 2: We'll see hoside night.

1678
01:23:01,560 --> 01:23:03,360
Speaker 5: Gotta see We'll see you there, all right.

1679
01:23:03,360 --> 01:23:05,840
Speaker 2: That's Doug Flutie, former Bills quarterback, joining us. He is

1680
01:23:05,880 --> 01:23:09,120
Speaker 2: this week's Legend of the Game when Buffalo hosts the

1681
01:23:09,120 --> 01:23:10,920
Speaker 2: forty nine ers on Sunday Night.

1682
01:23:10,920 --> 01:23:11,280
Speaker 1: Football.

1683
01:23:11,360 --> 01:23:13,519
Speaker 2: Legend of the Game, presented by the BFLO Store and

1684
01:23:13,560 --> 01:23:17,840
Speaker 2: official retailer of the Buffalo Bills, wanted to get to

1685
01:23:18,120 --> 01:23:23,559
Speaker 2: a couple more questions in the obl Friday fan mail bag.

1686
01:23:23,840 --> 01:23:26,800
Speaker 2: This one comes from Ed, who says, if the weather

1687
01:23:26,920 --> 01:23:30,280
Speaker 2: is lousy Sunday night, what's the run versus past play

1688
01:23:30,320 --> 01:23:33,080
Speaker 2: percentage going to be for Buffalo seventy thirty eighty twenty

1689
01:23:33,200 --> 01:23:37,520
Speaker 2: ninety ten. I think that depends on if there's measurable

1690
01:23:37,600 --> 01:23:41,519
Speaker 2: snowfall on the field that they can clear fast enough. Yes,

1691
01:23:41,640 --> 01:23:43,000
Speaker 2: it's going to be a heavy run game.

1692
01:23:44,439 --> 01:23:49,920
Speaker 3: Might be it's easier for the offense to throw the

1693
01:23:49,920 --> 01:23:52,280
Speaker 3: football when it's slippery than it is for the defense

1694
01:23:52,320 --> 01:23:53,080
Speaker 3: to defend.

1695
01:23:52,760 --> 01:23:53,840
Speaker 1: It because the footing's bad.

1696
01:23:53,880 --> 01:23:55,800
Speaker 3: Footing's bad, and you know where you're going, you can

1697
01:23:55,800 --> 01:23:59,000
Speaker 3: set yourself up to your keep your footing. I don't

1698
01:23:59,040 --> 01:24:02,400
Speaker 3: know how free wheeling the Bills offense will want to

1699
01:24:02,439 --> 01:24:07,280
Speaker 3: be in those conditions, but it's sometimes those games turn

1700
01:24:07,320 --> 01:24:14,800
Speaker 3: into forty four to thirty four games. We'll see, we'll see. Yes,

1701
01:24:15,120 --> 01:24:17,519
Speaker 3: if you can run the football, nobody's ever gonna do

1702
01:24:17,520 --> 01:24:20,439
Speaker 3: anything else because you don't put the ball at risky

1703
01:24:20,439 --> 01:24:22,320
Speaker 3: and the only way it happens is somebody punches it

1704
01:24:22,320 --> 01:24:24,439
Speaker 3: out and that's hard to do. It doesn't happen very often.

1705
01:24:24,520 --> 01:24:28,559
Speaker 3: So I don't know that right now you can expect

1706
01:24:28,600 --> 01:24:30,200
Speaker 3: any kind of change and what the Bills are going

1707
01:24:30,280 --> 01:24:34,320
Speaker 3: to do. I would expect the same sixty fifty to

1708
01:24:34,320 --> 01:24:37,400
Speaker 3: fifty run pass mix and we've seen.

1709
01:24:38,439 --> 01:24:39,400
Speaker 1: Unless it's extreme.

1710
01:24:39,720 --> 01:24:41,000
Speaker 3: Unless it's extreme.

1711
01:24:40,720 --> 01:24:44,920
Speaker 2: And they have said that Originally the forecasts for high

1712
01:24:44,920 --> 01:24:48,240
Speaker 2: winds that has been altered. Right it doesn't look like

1713
01:24:48,280 --> 01:24:50,840
Speaker 2: it's going to be nearly as windy as they initially thought.

1714
01:24:50,880 --> 01:24:54,360
Speaker 2: So that's certainly good news because nothing affects a game

1715
01:24:54,400 --> 01:24:58,800
Speaker 2: more than wind unless you have torrential rains, then you

1716
01:24:58,800 --> 01:24:59,680
Speaker 2: know the balls.

1717
01:24:59,360 --> 01:24:59,920
Speaker 1: Wet the field.

1718
01:25:00,240 --> 01:25:01,360
Speaker 3: Every wind is a problem.

1719
01:25:01,400 --> 01:25:02,639
Speaker 1: Wind is a major issue.

1720
01:25:02,680 --> 01:25:04,200
Speaker 3: The snow is.

1721
01:25:04,120 --> 01:25:09,000
Speaker 2: Not ed on the mail bag asks I know we're

1722
01:25:09,080 --> 01:25:11,360
Speaker 2: nine and two, but what do you make of McDermott

1723
01:25:11,360 --> 01:25:15,439
Speaker 2: conceding the run on defense because it's less explosive while

1724
01:25:15,439 --> 01:25:18,599
Speaker 2: prioritizing the run on offense. I feel our slow starts

1725
01:25:18,640 --> 01:25:21,800
Speaker 2: are do largely descripted plays, limiting Josh in the first half,

1726
01:25:22,160 --> 01:25:24,160
Speaker 2: only for him to open it up out of necessity

1727
01:25:24,200 --> 01:25:25,000
Speaker 2: in the second half.

1728
01:25:27,760 --> 01:25:29,720
Speaker 3: I don't know if I get that general I don't

1729
01:25:29,720 --> 01:25:31,840
Speaker 3: know if I'm with you on that generalization. Certainly I

1730
01:25:31,880 --> 01:25:34,680
Speaker 3: see the logic in it, but and there's been other

1731
01:25:34,720 --> 01:25:36,799
Speaker 3: times when we've seen it. That's you know, John Elway

1732
01:25:37,400 --> 01:25:39,439
Speaker 3: did that when Dan Reeves was his head coach. He

1733
01:25:39,479 --> 01:25:42,000
Speaker 3: had so many fourth quarter comebacks because they played so

1734
01:25:42,160 --> 01:25:45,920
Speaker 3: conservatively that he had to put a cape on in

1735
01:25:45,960 --> 01:25:47,960
Speaker 3: the fourth quarter of many, so many games. That's what

1736
01:25:48,000 --> 01:25:49,760
Speaker 3: we saw Josh due early in his career. I think

1737
01:25:49,840 --> 01:25:52,920
Speaker 3: right now they're doing more of I and I get

1738
01:25:52,920 --> 01:25:56,400
Speaker 3: what it looks like. I don't think that's the same

1739
01:25:56,439 --> 01:26:00,680
Speaker 3: result we're talking about. The Bills are playing I think offensively, defensively,

1740
01:26:00,760 --> 01:26:05,479
Speaker 3: some really good, complimentary football. The defense invites the other

1741
01:26:05,520 --> 01:26:08,400
Speaker 3: team to run the football and then gets a stop

1742
01:26:08,400 --> 01:26:10,920
Speaker 3: on one or two third downs and gets them off

1743
01:26:10,960 --> 01:26:13,479
Speaker 3: the field. And the Bills don't go off. They score.

1744
01:26:13,600 --> 01:26:15,760
Speaker 3: They score more often than their opponents are able to.

1745
01:26:16,320 --> 01:26:20,200
Speaker 3: And that and because they are in close games, the

1746
01:26:20,200 --> 01:26:22,840
Speaker 3: Bills run the football whenever they want, not when they

1747
01:26:22,880 --> 01:26:25,200
Speaker 3: need to or when they have to. They can shorten

1748
01:26:25,240 --> 01:26:27,880
Speaker 3: the game in the second half. Certainly, we've seen Bobby

1749
01:26:27,880 --> 01:26:32,600
Speaker 3: Babbage's defense constrict the opponent's offenses all year in the

1750
01:26:32,640 --> 01:26:34,760
Speaker 3: second half, and that allows the Bills offense to be

1751
01:26:34,800 --> 01:26:38,760
Speaker 3: even more conservative, particularly when they finish drives. I think

1752
01:26:38,800 --> 01:26:42,639
Speaker 3: that's just the way it looks. I don't think their

1753
01:26:42,720 --> 01:26:46,280
Speaker 3: invitation for the offense is to run the football. Makes

1754
01:26:46,360 --> 01:26:48,600
Speaker 3: Josh put a cape on. Now. We ran into a

1755
01:26:48,600 --> 01:26:51,160
Speaker 3: really good team in Kansas City and they got a

1756
01:26:51,200 --> 01:26:54,800
Speaker 3: gear nobody else does, so they had to. It looked

1757
01:26:54,800 --> 01:26:57,559
Speaker 3: different against the Chiefs, but I think for the most part,

1758
01:26:57,600 --> 01:26:59,120
Speaker 3: that's where you're going to see this team play and

1759
01:26:59,160 --> 01:27:00,519
Speaker 3: it's been extremely successful.

1760
01:27:00,640 --> 01:27:03,120
Speaker 1: Us for gotta take a break here.

1761
01:27:03,320 --> 01:27:06,160
Speaker 2: We'll be back with some final thoughts, including Vision to

1762
01:27:06,240 --> 01:27:08,759
Speaker 2: Victory when we return here on One Bill's Live, presented

1763
01:27:08,800 --> 01:27:10,519
Speaker 2: by to a Lot of Health. It's Buffalo Bills Radio.

1764
01:27:21,640 --> 01:27:23,720
Speaker 2: All right back here on One Bill's Live. Chris Brown,

1765
01:27:23,760 --> 01:27:26,599
Speaker 2: Steve Tasker final segment Here on a Friday, and it's

1766
01:27:26,600 --> 01:27:29,640
Speaker 2: time for Vision to Victory presented by adwall eyecare the

1767
01:27:29,680 --> 01:27:32,920
Speaker 2: official I Care provider of the Buffalo Bills.

1768
01:27:33,479 --> 01:27:36,000
Speaker 1: And I don't know, Steve.

1769
01:27:36,120 --> 01:27:38,760
Speaker 2: I mean, with all these injuries that the Niners have,

1770
01:27:38,880 --> 01:27:42,840
Speaker 2: it's almost like you have to say, just play your game.

1771
01:27:43,400 --> 01:27:45,280
Speaker 2: Don't worry about who the Niners have and don't have.

1772
01:27:45,560 --> 01:27:48,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, you just don't turn it over a bunch, don't

1773
01:27:48,600 --> 01:27:50,360
Speaker 3: give them extra chances. I think if you can run

1774
01:27:50,400 --> 01:27:53,559
Speaker 3: the football, do it. I think all those guys will

1775
01:27:53,600 --> 01:27:55,479
Speaker 3: be on board with I know you got a bunch

1776
01:27:55,520 --> 01:27:57,880
Speaker 3: of wide receivers who are you don't want to help

1777
01:27:57,920 --> 01:28:00,640
Speaker 3: and stuff, but you also got some guys who are questionable.

1778
01:28:02,920 --> 01:28:05,360
Speaker 3: I think if if the Niners haven't fixed their run

1779
01:28:05,439 --> 01:28:08,599
Speaker 3: defense issues, you got to exploit it on a night

1780
01:28:08,720 --> 01:28:11,080
Speaker 3: like it's going to be on Sunday night. If not,

1781
01:28:11,640 --> 01:28:13,160
Speaker 3: you got to find a way to get the ball

1782
01:28:13,200 --> 01:28:16,680
Speaker 3: out of Josh's hands. I don't don't revert to the

1783
01:28:16,720 --> 01:28:18,479
Speaker 3: point where you're going to have Josh call his own

1784
01:28:18,520 --> 01:28:20,479
Speaker 3: number and be running the football all over the place.

1785
01:28:21,479 --> 01:28:23,200
Speaker 3: That's the last thing you want to do. So run

1786
01:28:23,240 --> 01:28:25,720
Speaker 3: the football, hand it off or get the ball out

1787
01:28:25,720 --> 01:28:27,760
Speaker 3: of his hands quick and try and turn out some

1788
01:28:27,800 --> 01:28:29,479
Speaker 3: first downs that way that the weather's going to be

1789
01:28:29,520 --> 01:28:32,479
Speaker 3: a factor. And that's it's a big question mark, I

1790
01:28:32,520 --> 01:28:34,120
Speaker 3: think right now. So it's hard to get a handle

1791
01:28:34,120 --> 01:28:35,360
Speaker 3: on what really needs to happen.

1792
01:28:35,479 --> 01:28:38,160
Speaker 2: And as much as we're wondering who will be in

1793
01:28:38,200 --> 01:28:40,719
Speaker 2: the game for the Niners and who will be out,

1794
01:28:41,240 --> 01:28:44,280
Speaker 2: it looks like there are some other players whose availability

1795
01:28:45,080 --> 01:28:48,080
Speaker 2: could be up on Sunday. We know Spencer Brown is

1796
01:28:48,080 --> 01:28:50,320
Speaker 2: going to return too the lineup a right tackle, but

1797
01:28:50,439 --> 01:28:54,320
Speaker 2: Keon Coleman is questionable, along with IR players Matt Mlano

1798
01:28:54,400 --> 01:28:57,559
Speaker 2: and Dwayne Carter. Do one or both of those IR

1799
01:28:57,680 --> 01:29:01,240
Speaker 2: players get activated to the fifty three man roster, will

1800
01:29:01,280 --> 01:29:05,160
Speaker 2: know by four PM on Saturday as to whether either

1801
01:29:05,160 --> 01:29:07,760
Speaker 2: of those two players will be up and available for

1802
01:29:07,840 --> 01:29:10,720
Speaker 2: the Bills on Sunday night. Coleman would be nice to

1803
01:29:10,720 --> 01:29:12,679
Speaker 2: see after a two game absence as well.

1804
01:29:12,560 --> 01:29:13,440
Speaker 1: He is questionable.

1805
01:29:13,600 --> 01:29:15,760
Speaker 3: Cooper would be nice to see. Spencer Brown's going to

1806
01:29:15,800 --> 01:29:19,719
Speaker 3: be back in there. I think. I think the weather

1807
01:29:19,760 --> 01:29:21,559
Speaker 3: and the conditions kind of make it a little less

1808
01:29:21,640 --> 01:29:23,760
Speaker 3: likely that mlonne will give it a go. Oh you

1809
01:29:23,800 --> 01:29:26,560
Speaker 3: know what I mean, although they may just say, you

1810
01:29:26,600 --> 01:29:28,040
Speaker 3: know what, he's ready, let's put him in there.

1811
01:29:28,560 --> 01:29:31,639
Speaker 1: That's it for us, Sabers. Pregame coming your way next.

1812
01:29:31,640 --> 01:29:33,960
Speaker 2: Steven I will see on Monday for a three hour

1813
01:29:34,120 --> 01:29:36,240
Speaker 2: edition at noon to talk about the Sunday night game.
