If 22 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 1: you remember last year, we're just gonna happen. I think 23 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 1: it was Saint Patrick's day was seventy degrees and my 24 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 1: wife was convinced that spring was here. She brought the 25 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,559 Speaker 1: front porch rock chairs. She said, get the front porch 26 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 1: rocking chairs up from the basement. We're putting them out. Said, 27 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 1: don't do it, don't do it. Don't do it. I 28 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 1: remember that. Don't be duped. She was completely fooled by 29 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 1: fake spring. You know, it's gonna happen. We're gonna get 30 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 1: that one last little snowstorm that's gonna be like, well, 31 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:19,359 Speaker 1: really it'll be gone a couple of days, but it'll 32 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 1: just be you know, one last little thing is steals 33 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:26,360 Speaker 1: two days from us. Yeah, maybe more. Yeah, I'm fully 34 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,639 Speaker 1: anticipating that it'll happen. Yeah, we're not done. Yeah, we'll 35 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 1: get snowed on two again. Obviously when it's early February. 36 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 1: So it's but I'm saying it's it's gonna get hit 37 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 1: and miss. I remember, I think it was like twenty 38 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,680 Speaker 1: twelve or twenty forties, somewhere in there. We had a 39 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 1: year where we were on the golf course March eleventh 40 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 1: and played every day. Oh so it never went back. 41 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 1: It never went back. So fake Spring was real spring, 42 00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 1: and then fake Springs was real spring, and we were 43 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,360 Speaker 1: always you know, you're packing the extra layer and he 44 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 1: didn't really need to the whole trip. It was really nice. 45 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,640 Speaker 1: That was one, the one that stands out in my mind, 46 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 1: the one exception. Yes, yes, I'm fully expecting a kick 47 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: in the teeth somewhere April May right. Well, I'll try 48 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 1: to block that kick as best I can block that. 49 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 1: We've got some Bills news here a couple of notes 50 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:30,240 Speaker 1: as a matter of fact, not only on the coaching 51 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 1: front with assistant coaches coming and going reportedly, but also 52 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 1: concerning DeMar Hamlin. As we saw late yesterday afternoon, Bill 53 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 1: safety DeMar Hamlin was named the winner of the NFL 54 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 1: PA Alan Page Community Award for obvious reasons. You know, 55 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 1: his community efforts with his Chasing Millions Foundation, the work 56 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 1: he does in his local community back in West PA 57 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: and McKees Rocks. So he was the award recipient yesterday 58 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 1: at the Super Bowl where you know, they conduct a 59 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 1: series of different events through the course of the week, 60 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,679 Speaker 1: including introducing the halftime performer, and they have a press 61 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 1: conference among other things. But the NFL has their things, 62 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:23,119 Speaker 1: the NFLPA has theirs. So this was an NFLPA award. 63 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:27,279 Speaker 1: It's one of the highest awards given to a player 64 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 1: by the players Association, and the NFLPA made a donation 65 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,279 Speaker 1: to the Chasing Millions Foundation in the amount of one 66 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:41,279 Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars with Hamlin as the winner. So Damar 67 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 1: spoke briefly to the press in attendance at that NFLPA 68 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 1: press conference, and we're going to play you that comment 69 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 1: from Hamlin now. First and foremost, I just want to 70 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 1: say thank you, just thank God for being here, and 71 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 1: thank the other guys who are nominated for the ward 72 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 1: as well, who you know, did the work in their 73 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 1: communities alongside of me as well. Giving back to my 74 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 1: community has always been a big part of who I am. 75 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:13,160 Speaker 1: Thankful to my father who's right here behind me growing up, 76 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 1: just watching him through community days in our community, and 77 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 1: I just always was waiting on my time when it came. 78 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,280 Speaker 1: One of my favorite quotes, it's a blessing to be 79 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 1: a blessing. With that being said, I plan to never 80 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 1: take this position for granted and always have an urgent 81 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 1: approach and making a difference in the community where I 82 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 1: come from and also communities across the world. So a 83 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 1: nice job by Jamari yesterday and accepting that award. Good 84 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:45,279 Speaker 1: to see him out and about, and yeah, we'll see 85 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:50,279 Speaker 1: where things go for him. Concerning a possible future playing career, 86 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 1: there was a comment made by NFL Players Association Medical Director. 87 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 1: David Sills is the league's medical chief medical officer. Doctor 88 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 1: Tom Mayer is the NFL Players Association Medical Director. He 89 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 1: was on a serious XM doctor radio show yesterday called 90 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:17,159 Speaker 1: Heart to Heart and he was asked by a caller 91 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 1: if DeMar Hamlin will ever play again, and doctor Mayer 92 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 1: said the following quote. I don't want to get into 93 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 1: hippot issues, but I guarantee you that DeMar Hamlin will 94 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 1: play professional football again. Now that's just one man's opinion, 95 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:38,039 Speaker 1: but that was pretty eye opening to hear that. I 96 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,160 Speaker 1: don't know that any of us expected that to even 97 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,599 Speaker 1: be entertained. I mean, we're not even what are we 98 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 1: a little over a month removed from the cardiac event 99 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 1: to begin with, So I was kind of surprised to 100 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 1: see that kind of chatter out there, but that is 101 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,839 Speaker 1: what he said yesterday. I guess we can all take 102 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,719 Speaker 1: it for what it's worth, Steve, but I don't know 103 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 1: that the team or even Damar is ready to go 104 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,839 Speaker 1: down that road yet. Yeah, and perhaps he has spoken 105 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 1: to DeMar dMar is going to give it a shot 106 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:07,919 Speaker 1: and has told people that he's going to try and 107 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 1: do that. We haven't heard anything from him regarding that, obviously, 108 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 1: but it's I think when you say stuff like that, 109 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 1: it's up to Damar whether he wants to give that 110 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 1: a shot again, whether he wants to try that again, 111 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,680 Speaker 1: and certainly he'll you know, the doctors are going to 112 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 1: have an enormous voice in whether that happens or not, 113 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 1: or whether he's capable of doing that or not. But 114 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 1: certainly he looks Hey looked great, and accepting the award 115 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 1: yesterday sounds great. Seems to be himself as he has 116 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 1: been since he started making public appearances. So's it'll be 117 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 1: interesting to see. It'll be fantastic to see if he 118 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 1: can do that. What a testament to the guy he 119 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 1: is and the help that he got as quickly as 120 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: he got it. Yeah, So we'll just wait and see 121 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 1: where it goes. Because again, it's one man's opinion, granted 122 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 1: it's a professional one. We don't know what his knowledge 123 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 1: of Tamar's case is, although I'm sure the PA had 124 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 1: him look into it as their chief medical officer. So 125 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 1: we'll just wait and see what comes of it at 126 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 1: the appropriate time. Wild Wild Trade Day in the NBA. 127 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 1: We'll get into that in a second, because we don't 128 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 1: see trades like that in the NFL. Maybe with the 129 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 1: acception of some quarterback swaps, but my god, it was nuts. 130 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 1: But quickly the other two Bills notes concern coaching changes. 131 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:34,960 Speaker 1: The first, Dan Graziano of ESPN is reporting that the 132 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 1: Los Angeles Rams are going to hire Bill's assistant offensive 133 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 1: line coach Ryan Windell to be their head offensive line coach. 134 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 1: He's been here the last four seasons with the Bills. 135 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,600 Speaker 1: Obviously had a playing career with the Patriots from two 136 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 1: thousand and nine to twenty fifteen, you know, played in 137 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,839 Speaker 1: some playoff games and won a Super Bowl with them 138 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 1: over the Seahawks. While NFL Networks Mike Garafolo reported yesterday 139 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,840 Speaker 1: after we were already off the air, that the Bills 140 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 1: are hiring Al Holcomb as a senior defensive assistant. Holcombe 141 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,439 Speaker 1: was the Panthers interim defensive coordinator and assistant head coach 142 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 1: of this past season under interim head coach Steve Wilkes. 143 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,440 Speaker 1: And if you look at his coaching history, he's been 144 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,199 Speaker 1: in the NFL since two thousand and nine. It's worked 145 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 1: for the Giants, the Panthers, the Cardinals, and the Browns 146 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:33,280 Speaker 1: in his career. Spent four seasons under McDermott in Carolina 147 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 1: from twenty to twenty thirteen to twenty sixteen, where he 148 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 1: was the Panthers linebackers coach under McDermott. So nothing official 149 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 1: from the team, but those are the reports that are 150 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 1: out there, and he'll be a senior defensive assistant if 151 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:55,959 Speaker 1: in fact that hiring goes through according to reports. Yeah, 152 00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 1: this happens a lot, but will a coaching change like 153 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 1: this The players and coaching staff are really gonna feel that, 154 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,200 Speaker 1: fans are gonna be like, it'll be a hard time 155 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 1: they've even known the guy exists. You know, there'll be 156 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,439 Speaker 1: a different coach up sitting in the booth in one 157 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 1: of the slots. But it could be a huge plus 158 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,960 Speaker 1: or minus for both either team, the Rams or the Bills. 159 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 1: Could be a huge plus or minus, or it could 160 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,920 Speaker 1: be just something that we never know about and we 161 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:29,680 Speaker 1: read about in the paper like we just did, like 162 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 1: you know, you hear it reported, then you never think 163 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 1: about it again. It's but the players will notice and 164 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 1: the coaching staff will notice because they're gonna be you know, 165 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 1: different family members. It's that simple. I found this quote, 166 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 1: which came from a Panther's reporter, pretty interesting on al Holcomb. 167 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 1: It came from veteran NFL linebacker Frankie Luvu, who has 168 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:54,200 Speaker 1: made his bones in this league mainly as a special 169 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 1: teams linebacker, but in any event, he said the following 170 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 1: about Holcomb this past season. Quote Al I can say 171 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,440 Speaker 1: is one of the best linebacker coaches in the league 172 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:08,560 Speaker 1: as far as coverages, scheming it up and putting guys 173 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:14,559 Speaker 1: where they find their strengths within the defense. Now, the 174 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 1: reason I found that interesting, Steve, is because we know 175 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 1: the general philosophy of this defense under Sean McDermott is 176 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,960 Speaker 1: to keep it simple. You have rules you can fall 177 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 1: back on even if you're not lined up in the 178 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 1: best possible play call, and you can still live to 179 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 1: fight another play. And it's all predicated on allowing your 180 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:44,240 Speaker 1: players to play fast rather than be compromised by thinking 181 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 1: too much because your scheme is too complicated. We saw 182 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,680 Speaker 1: that with Rex Ryan when he was coaching this team. 183 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:54,200 Speaker 1: In this defense, McDermott's approach is completely the opposite. So 184 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 1: I see this quote where he talks about coach Holcombe 185 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 1: scheming it up as far as coverages. I mean, they're 186 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,440 Speaker 1: all scheming things up. Don't get me wrong. Maybe I'm 187 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,319 Speaker 1: reading too much into it, but I have to believe 188 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 1: that we've reached a point not only in this team's 189 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:15,440 Speaker 1: development and the build and whatnot, but also we're at 190 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 1: a time in the league we're just lining up and 191 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 1: playing teams straight up. There's got to be more to 192 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 1: it than that, especially if you're going to beat the 193 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 1: top end quarterbacks in the playoffs these days. Yeah, teams 194 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 1: are too talent offensively and the rules are slanted too 195 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:35,439 Speaker 1: far to that side of the football in my opinion. 196 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 1: So I wonder if this is kind of a realization, like, Hey, 197 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:39,880 Speaker 1: here's a guy that knows how to scheme it up 198 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,240 Speaker 1: sometimes and throw some curveballs in an offense or an 199 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,679 Speaker 1: opposing quarterback. Let's get his brain in the room too, 200 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 1: to try to come up with some fresh ideas for 201 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,440 Speaker 1: a staff that's largely been together for the better part 202 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 1: of the last five or six years. Could also being 203 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,079 Speaker 1: you heard you heard him say this, he's a phenomenal 204 00:12:56,120 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 1: linebacker coach. Could it be posturing in case Tremaine's not there, oh, 205 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 1: and use scheme to kind of athletic ability exactly? Or 206 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,200 Speaker 1: maybe I suppose that's possible. More gets some more guys 207 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,920 Speaker 1: up to speed to help with that if Tremaine doesn't 208 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 1: get signed. Yeah, I mean Bobby Babbish did a hell 209 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 1: of a job last year taking over for his dad 210 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 1: as linebackers coach. I mean, Edmonds had a career year, 211 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,600 Speaker 1: Milano had a first team All Pro year. So I 212 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:27,079 Speaker 1: don't think it's that I can tend to lean towards. 213 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:30,840 Speaker 1: I think they're looking for a fresh mind, with some 214 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 1: fresh ideas for a scheme with a staff that's largely 215 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,440 Speaker 1: been together, huddled in the room, same group of people, Yeah, 216 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 1: for the better part of the last four or five years. 217 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 1: I think they need some new ideas brought to the 218 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 1: table to try to throw some curveballs at some of 219 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,959 Speaker 1: these top end quarterbacks that seemingly have all the answers 220 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:50,679 Speaker 1: against Buffalo's defense, despite the fact that they've had extraordinarily 221 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,839 Speaker 1: successful regular seasons. Yeah, you need a dissenting voice once 222 00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,360 Speaker 1: in a while, somebody say, I get all that. What 223 00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 1: about you know we should what about this? Why don't 224 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 1: you try this? Lad? You know, do this thing. It's 225 00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:07,040 Speaker 1: just a different idea. You're right, brownie. There could be 226 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:10,200 Speaker 1: a little bit of stale, staleless in the air over there. 227 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 1: Maybe they sense it, maybe they're looking at them. Shake 228 00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:13,720 Speaker 1: it up a little bit, and we're doing you know, well, 229 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:15,960 Speaker 1: we need we need some fresh eyes. Let's get somebody, 230 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:17,560 Speaker 1: so they bring a guy in that could be some 231 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:19,760 Speaker 1: of it, because this is the kind of time of 232 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:21,720 Speaker 1: year where if staff will go back and look at 233 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 1: what they did, when they did it, and why they 234 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 1: did it, how they did it, talking about schemes, personnel, deployment, 235 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:30,720 Speaker 1: all the things that they look at and do some 236 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 1: self evaluations. Said, you know, we were all thinking the 237 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:34,760 Speaker 1: same thing. Maybe we need somebody who's not thinking the 238 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 1: same thing. Well, yeah, and I know fans have pointed 239 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 1: this bills, fans have pointed this out on social media, 240 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 1: and it doesn't go by the board on me either. 241 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 1: Their last three playoff elimination losses of an accomplished, high 242 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 1: achieving defense in the regular season has given up twenty seven, 243 00:14:55,560 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 1: forty two, and thirty eight points in their last playoff 244 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:05,960 Speaker 1: elimination losses. That's a problem. So I think it's wise 245 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 1: to try to come up with somebody that can shake 246 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 1: things up a little bit and maybe have some different 247 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 1: ideas to bring to the table. And you know, if 248 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 1: this hiring in fact does go through, hopefully al Holcomb 249 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:21,120 Speaker 1: can bring that. Yeah. Well, yeah, sure it can help, 250 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 1: But you still need to fill out a roster with 251 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 1: some really good players true to make it work. So 252 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 1: certainly there are coaching staffs who get more with more 253 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 1: out of less talent than other coaching staffs would. And 254 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:38,480 Speaker 1: I'm sure this team is going to try and maximize 255 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 1: their coaches and get the most out of their players. 256 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 1: The better players you have, the better you play. Good 257 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:47,120 Speaker 1: players make you better. Brandon Bean is as crucial to 258 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:51,720 Speaker 1: this as anybody. Still. The NFL Honors Awards show is 259 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:55,720 Speaker 1: tonight in Glendale. Josh Allen, Is it in Glendale? Is 260 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,120 Speaker 1: in LA? I think it's in Glendale, right, I think 261 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:02,080 Speaker 1: it's in the Super Bowl City yet, Yeah, Josh Allen 262 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:06,200 Speaker 1: is up for League MVP. The other nominees are Patrick Mahomes, 263 00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts, Joe Burrow, Justin Jefferson. Pretty steep group there 264 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 1: head coach Sean mcdermoto for NFL Head Coach of the Year. 265 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 1: Dion Dawkins is the Bill's team nominee for Walter Peyton 266 00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,240 Speaker 1: Man of the Year, and up for NFL Fan of 267 00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 1: the Year is John Lang, Bill's fan, who is better 268 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:28,520 Speaker 1: known as Bill's Elvis. So we'll see how they all 269 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:33,680 Speaker 1: fair tonight. NFL Honors Airs tonight on NBC and NFL 270 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 1: Network simultaneously and begins at nine pm. And that is 271 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:44,480 Speaker 1: in at Symphony Hall in Phoenix, not Glendale what the 272 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:49,280 Speaker 1: stadium is, but in Phoenix. That's fine um elsewhere around 273 00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 1: the NFL, which, by the way, is brought to you 274 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,800 Speaker 1: by Kalida Health, the official healthcare system of the Buffalo Bills. 275 00:16:56,280 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 1: NFLPA Executive director to Morris Smith, Steve has hauled for 276 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 1: the end of the NFL combine. He thinks it is 277 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 1: wrong to force NFL prospects to submit full medical information 278 00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 1: on themselves, which could obviously compromise their draft value. He 279 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:30,160 Speaker 1: would prefer to have regional setups. I guess smaller, lesser 280 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 1: sized versions of the combine in different areas around the country. 281 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:39,680 Speaker 1: Of course, he wants the NFLPA to orchestrate it because 282 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,639 Speaker 1: he knows the NFL makes money off of it. But 283 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 1: I don't see how you're changing that one. I really don't, 284 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:52,400 Speaker 1: because every NFL club will tell you flat out the 285 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:56,159 Speaker 1: number one thing they get out of the combine is 286 00:17:56,200 --> 00:18:01,199 Speaker 1: the medical evals on all the prospects, because it is 287 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,800 Speaker 1: a quintessential part of assessing the value of a player. 288 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:10,359 Speaker 1: I mean, if they have chronic problems, they're gonna get 289 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:14,920 Speaker 1: knocked for it. And you would completely understand why. It's 290 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:18,399 Speaker 1: a sport that depends on a player's physical abilities. So 291 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:22,840 Speaker 1: if those abilities are compromised because of medical issues, the 292 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,040 Speaker 1: team's not gonna want to draft him as high. Why 293 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:28,399 Speaker 1: is that so hard for Demorris Smith to understand? Is 294 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:32,160 Speaker 1: he just posturing here? I mean, you're not changing the combine, 295 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:37,560 Speaker 1: I think, so, I don't get why. I don't get 296 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:41,720 Speaker 1: the problem it is. Is it so that they can 297 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 1: keep medical problems secret? That's how he made it sound yesterday. 298 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:49,240 Speaker 1: I was totally perplexed. So I think, like I don't 299 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,280 Speaker 1: even know if you've got a leg to stand on there, No, 300 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:53,800 Speaker 1: because what are you doing. You're making the game more 301 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 1: dangerous for those guys. I mean basically, you're saying, listen, 302 00:18:57,840 --> 00:18:59,879 Speaker 1: keep your medical problems. That will cause you to be 303 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:02,960 Speaker 1: put more risk because it for an injury, so these 304 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,960 Speaker 1: teams will draft you higher. Forget about the risk that 305 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,680 Speaker 1: you may or may not know about. I mean, there's 306 00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:10,480 Speaker 1: been a handful of guys over the years who have 307 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 1: been failed, failed because they got loved. You've got spinal synosis, 308 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:16,879 Speaker 1: can't play football, can't play foot You should have been 309 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:20,200 Speaker 1: saved that guy from Parrels. You can't do that right, 310 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,040 Speaker 1: or you've got to you've got something going on with 311 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:24,439 Speaker 1: your heart that didn't they find. Well, no, I went 312 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,000 Speaker 1: to a Division three school or whatever and they didn't. 313 00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:29,199 Speaker 1: They don't check for heart murmurs or whatever that is. 314 00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:32,400 Speaker 1: And I well, you shouldn't be playing. Yeah. I really 315 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:34,320 Speaker 1: think he's a little off as Rocker with that one. 316 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 1: And I'm not saying it's I'm yeah, if it's wrong 317 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 1: to lie to get a job, yeah, that's basically what 318 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 1: you're doing. It's wrong to lie in order to get 319 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:53,119 Speaker 1: a job. It's wrong. Now I know people do it. 320 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:56,919 Speaker 1: I mean we've heard all this, you know, fluffing your resume. 321 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 1: You know, you got all that stuff going on. So 322 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 1: I get it, but it's wrong, and you can't. I 323 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:12,359 Speaker 1: think it's wrong to criticize a process that keeps people 324 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,760 Speaker 1: from doing that. Yeah, so I don't know that he's 325 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,120 Speaker 1: got a leg to stand on, but you know, yesterday 326 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,680 Speaker 1: was his day at the microphone, so I guess we 327 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,840 Speaker 1: shouldn't expect anything different. The only reason they started doing 328 00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:28,400 Speaker 1: the combine at all was to make it more economically feasible, 329 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,719 Speaker 1: because these teams will not draft a guy unless they 330 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,800 Speaker 1: can give him a medical physical period, end of story. 331 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:35,359 Speaker 1: You don't want to give us your physical yet, what 332 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:38,679 Speaker 1: you fine, you're off our board. You are off our board, 333 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:46,200 Speaker 1: and that that's gonna exclude more guys than it includes. Yeah, 334 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:47,920 Speaker 1: I mean, certainly there's gonna be some guy. You know, 335 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:49,639 Speaker 1: if you get a guy like Miles Garrett at the 336 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:51,399 Speaker 1: top of the draft, you're thinking, okay, well maybe you 337 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:56,160 Speaker 1: don't take him in the top five, you know so, 338 00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 1: And certainly I know for myself when I was come out, man, 339 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:03,360 Speaker 1: fine you want to give me twenty X rays. Yeah, 340 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:09,640 Speaker 1: I'm in sure if I get drafted zap away. Yeah, 341 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:13,480 Speaker 1: that's the way that that's the mindset these guys. They're 342 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:17,160 Speaker 1: there to impress these clubs. Yeah, so I just don't 343 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,200 Speaker 1: think he gets it. There's a part of me that's 344 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 1: just like, I don't know. I could never see Gene 345 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:28,199 Speaker 1: Upshaw taking this position. And I think it's due in 346 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 1: part to the fact that he used to be a 347 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 1: player and he was around in the days before the 348 00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:37,640 Speaker 1: NFL combine even existed. But I still think he would 349 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,600 Speaker 1: have a better grasp of this than to Morris Smith, 350 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,439 Speaker 1: you know. So, I don't know, it just seems like 351 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:49,159 Speaker 1: completely out of left field. So it boggled me a 352 00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:52,680 Speaker 1: little bit. Couldn't understand quite what he was driving at 353 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:58,640 Speaker 1: with that whole stance. The Cardinals have basically leaked through 354 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:02,439 Speaker 1: certain reports that they are not going to name a 355 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:07,320 Speaker 1: head coach until after the Super Bowl. Now reportedly the 356 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 1: field has been narrowed to Mike Kafka and lu An Arumo, 357 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,719 Speaker 1: the defensive coordinator for the Bengals, and the OC from 358 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:18,639 Speaker 1: the Giants. What would prompt them to wait until after 359 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:23,760 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl? Here are my thoughts. They're coaching candidates, 360 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,119 Speaker 1: of which there are two remaining that we know of 361 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 1: might be interested in hiring members of the Eagles or 362 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:39,680 Speaker 1: Chiefs staffs for their coaching staff. And maybe they say, 363 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:41,680 Speaker 1: all right, well, if you've got three guys from that 364 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,720 Speaker 1: staff that you want to hire and promote to be 365 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:46,879 Speaker 1: on your staff, maybe we just wait until after the 366 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:51,480 Speaker 1: super Bowl. Maybe you want to get the full breadth 367 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 1: of media exposure and doing a super Bowl week it'll 368 00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,639 Speaker 1: kind of get lost. Maybe that's it. I don't know, 369 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,320 Speaker 1: but I'm having a hard time finding another reason why 370 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:05,399 Speaker 1: if you have your guy, you're not just naming them, Like, 371 00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:08,400 Speaker 1: what's going to change between now and Tuesday or Monday? Yeah, 372 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,560 Speaker 1: the availability to assemble their staff probably right. I mean, 373 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:14,240 Speaker 1: that's the only thing I can make some sense. I 374 00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 1: would say that those guys probably have an idea that 375 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:20,399 Speaker 1: of who that's it's going to be, whether it's going 376 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 1: to be Kafka or an A Rumo, and they're not 377 00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,400 Speaker 1: letting it. They just they're told him to say, listen, 378 00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:31,280 Speaker 1: give me the give me this Sunday and then we 379 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 1: can do it on Monday. I'll do it the next day. 380 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:35,960 Speaker 1: But there's a couple of guys on this staff that 381 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,399 Speaker 1: I know will come with me, and we don't want to. 382 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 1: I don't want to upset this Apple car before you 383 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,399 Speaker 1: get a chance to win a world championship, you know. 384 00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:46,480 Speaker 1: So that makes a lot of sense. That's the only 385 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:48,240 Speaker 1: thing I can think that's holding it up. I mean, 386 00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:52,400 Speaker 1: it makes some sense. Yet you got a brand new GM. 387 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:54,360 Speaker 1: You know, he wants to make a good first impression 388 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:57,159 Speaker 1: with his head coaching higher and all that, and Monti 389 00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,080 Speaker 1: Astenford is it's like he's still sitting out there. They 390 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,560 Speaker 1: haven't named anybody, right, and who knows, maybe the Colts 391 00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:07,480 Speaker 1: are in the same boat. Um. Of course they're beginning 392 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:09,920 Speaker 1: a third round of interviews, according to reports, which is 393 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,760 Speaker 1: almost unheard of. I don't know what they're doing up there, 394 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:14,600 Speaker 1: it seems I don't know if anybody does. It seems 395 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:16,880 Speaker 1: dopey to me. Over there. I get and I'll say 396 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:21,240 Speaker 1: three interviews Chris Ballard. Chris Ballard is a really sharp guy, 397 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:24,200 Speaker 1: and he put together a really good roster and a 398 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:29,280 Speaker 1: nice organization. But the way they've handled this ever since, 399 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:34,440 Speaker 1: since before they fired Frank Reich, has been highly dubious. 400 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:39,320 Speaker 1: They you know they were they were, and I know 401 00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:41,760 Speaker 1: we could you could tell by the rhetoric coming out 402 00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:44,000 Speaker 1: of from the podium on the press conference and when 403 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 1: they announced it, when they were switching quarterbacks and going 404 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:53,240 Speaker 1: from Matt Ryan to Jake Erlinger, Sam Sam Ellinger, that 405 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:58,640 Speaker 1: guy Steve couldn't even remember. That was not a football decision. 406 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,760 Speaker 1: That was not a football decision. That was that was 407 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 1: a higher level decision, either Ballard or the owner. And 408 00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 1: when it didn't work, and the next right, and that 409 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:17,119 Speaker 1: was after they they signed him. He wasn't there to 410 00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 1: begin with, was he. Yeah, So they go to Nick Foles. 411 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:26,720 Speaker 1: That didn't work once again under probably instruction from the 412 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 1: same chain of command. So they don't None of that worked, 413 00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:39,440 Speaker 1: so they fire the guys. Whatever. Yeah, now I'm telling 414 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,359 Speaker 1: you this. They're going around on this. Yeah, they've interviewed 415 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:45,800 Speaker 1: everybody in the National Football League for their head coaching position, 416 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:49,879 Speaker 1: and their interim coach wasn't even from the National Football League. 417 00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,320 Speaker 1: So they're sitting there and I'm telling you what, who 418 00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:57,640 Speaker 1: who is ambitious, who wants to be a successful head 419 00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:59,920 Speaker 1: coach in National Football League? Not just a head coach, 420 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:06,960 Speaker 1: but a successful head coach wants that job? There ain't nobody. 421 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:11,680 Speaker 1: Maybe not if you've got if you feel like you're 422 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:16,399 Speaker 1: going to get a shot at some point and that's no, 423 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:20,400 Speaker 1: you want no part of that. I'll bet you they've 424 00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:22,480 Speaker 1: got more than one no thank you in those that 425 00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 1: round of those rounds of it. Oh. I would say 426 00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,720 Speaker 1: that's safe to say for sure because they don't have 427 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:29,840 Speaker 1: an answer at quarterback right now. Now. They do have 428 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:32,840 Speaker 1: a high draft pick, so they could quickly remedy that. 429 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:39,720 Speaker 1: But you don't like what you're hearing. Yeah, I don't 430 00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 1: think I'm your guy, but thank you for the time. 431 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:46,399 Speaker 1: Yeah kind of thing. I really appreciate the opportunity, but 432 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:49,840 Speaker 1: I don't think this is I'm the right guy for this. Yeah. Yeah, 433 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:54,359 Speaker 1: that's we are talking Super Bowl today because we're just 434 00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:58,240 Speaker 1: a few days away from the big game. And top 435 00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:01,280 Speaker 1: of a conversation for you, either on the twee cheat 436 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:03,400 Speaker 1: at one Bills Live or on the phones at eight 437 00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,640 Speaker 1: three five fifty one eight eight five fifty two five 438 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:10,800 Speaker 1: fifty is what will be the difference maker in this 439 00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:15,440 Speaker 1: year's Super Bowl? What? Or who for that matter, fire away, 440 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,359 Speaker 1: let us know what's going to tilt the scales in 441 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,639 Speaker 1: favor of one team or the other in the Super Bowl. 442 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,840 Speaker 1: On Sunday eight oh three oh five fifty the number 443 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:26,640 Speaker 1: to get on board open lines for you, there one 444 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,919 Speaker 1: eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty. And I 445 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:34,920 Speaker 1: will say, Steve, I think top to bottom, the Eagles 446 00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:42,400 Speaker 1: are the more talented roster. I don't know, though, There's 447 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:46,320 Speaker 1: something about the Chiefs. They just seem so resourceful. They 448 00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 1: just they maximize opportunity, They maximize players who may not 449 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,800 Speaker 1: be as talented across the board as the Eagles. And 450 00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:58,440 Speaker 1: here's the other one for me. They have a coaching 451 00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:01,440 Speaker 1: staff and a majar of a roster that has been 452 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:04,520 Speaker 1: there before. There's only a couple of guys on the 453 00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:06,880 Speaker 1: Eagles that were there in twenty seventeen when they won 454 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:12,000 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, Jason Kelsey, Fletcher Cox, Barnett, a couple others. 455 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,119 Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean the Chiefs have been doing this 456 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:19,600 Speaker 1: year over year for a while now too. Yes, And 457 00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:22,359 Speaker 1: I don't think that championships in a row through a 458 00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:24,960 Speaker 1: Super Bowl, three of the last third in the last 459 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:28,840 Speaker 1: four years. It's yeah, it is old hat for them. 460 00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:30,719 Speaker 1: And I think you're right. The thing that the Chiefs 461 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:33,719 Speaker 1: do better than anybody is they in crucial situations they 462 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,240 Speaker 1: throw the football to somebody other than Travis Kelsey once 463 00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:39,280 Speaker 1: in a while, they give those guys a chance. Now, 464 00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:43,440 Speaker 1: certainly Kelsey makes hay against everybody they play. And there's 465 00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:48,520 Speaker 1: a stat out today where in the play in NFL history, playoffs, 466 00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:55,920 Speaker 1: only Mahomes and Kelsey have individual superlatives that are the 467 00:28:55,920 --> 00:29:04,520 Speaker 1: best in NFL history. Completion percentage, quarterback rating, interception percentage, 468 00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:09,200 Speaker 1: stuff like that. And Kelsey catches yards, touchdown, all that stuff. 469 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:12,920 Speaker 1: Yards per game for Pat Mahomes, he's got more than 470 00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:15,800 Speaker 1: anybody else yards per game on average, of anybody in 471 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:19,360 Speaker 1: the playoff history. It's it's amazing, but that those two 472 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:24,200 Speaker 1: guys are the engine. But read any reading his staff, 473 00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:30,040 Speaker 1: they get contributions and they spread it around enough to 474 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:34,520 Speaker 1: make them impossible to think about just you know, triple 475 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,120 Speaker 1: teaming Travis Kelsey and daring him to beat with somebody 476 00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:40,000 Speaker 1: else because they will. And they've shown that already in 477 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:43,040 Speaker 1: the playoffs. I mean, the Bengals were double team and 478 00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:44,960 Speaker 1: Kelsey a lot. So what did they do. They changed 479 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,320 Speaker 1: his alignment. Instead of an inside alignment, they put him 480 00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:51,440 Speaker 1: out wide, which now opens up the middle of the field. 481 00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:53,600 Speaker 1: Because if you're getting double team Kelsey and he's all 482 00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:56,800 Speaker 1: the way outside, now there are voids in the defense 483 00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,120 Speaker 1: in the middle of the field, and Mahomes was exploiting 484 00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:00,959 Speaker 1: the heck out of that, and they had to say, well, 485 00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,640 Speaker 1: screw that, we can't double team Kelsey outside. And then 486 00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:05,640 Speaker 1: they go back to Kelsey and now he's making plays. 487 00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:09,280 Speaker 1: And they're very good at pivoting off of what that 488 00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:14,959 Speaker 1: opposing defense is doing. And I just think they're collective 489 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:18,960 Speaker 1: experience in this big game along with there's just this 490 00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:23,400 Speaker 1: certain amount of moxie with the Chiefs. I don't know. 491 00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:26,160 Speaker 1: I think I think Philly is the more talented roster, 492 00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:30,000 Speaker 1: but I don't know. The Chiefs somehow find a way 493 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:34,560 Speaker 1: every time, even in an instance where they might be 494 00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:38,480 Speaker 1: outgunned in terms of talent, still might be able to 495 00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:40,640 Speaker 1: get it done. So we're talking to you about that. 496 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,040 Speaker 1: What will be the difference maker in this year's Super Bowl? 497 00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:46,200 Speaker 1: Eight oh three, five fifty one, eight fifty two, five 498 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:47,960 Speaker 1: fifty the number to get on board. We take a 499 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,360 Speaker 1: break here, but we're back with your phone calls and 500 00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:52,720 Speaker 1: your tweets. Next on One Bill's Live, presented by Collid 501 00:30:52,720 --> 00:31:06,560 Speaker 1: of Health, It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right, Welcome back 502 00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:09,080 Speaker 1: to One Bill's Live. Chris Brown Steve Tasker on a Thursday, 503 00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:11,480 Speaker 1: and we're talking Super Bowl. What will be the difference 504 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:14,800 Speaker 1: maker in this year's big game between the Chiefs and 505 00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:17,800 Speaker 1: the Eagles. We go to the phones at eight oh 506 00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:19,880 Speaker 1: three oh five fifty where we do have a line 507 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:23,400 Speaker 1: open for you, and we lead off with Kevin in Hamburg. 508 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:25,400 Speaker 1: What do you got first? Kevin? Hey, guys, how are 509 00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:28,480 Speaker 1: you doing good? Thanks for taking my call. Sure, I 510 00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:30,040 Speaker 1: want to say a couple of being first to talk 511 00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:32,520 Speaker 1: about the weather. You were talking about the wonderful not 512 00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:35,240 Speaker 1: having full's gold weather and all that you were talking 513 00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:39,920 Speaker 1: earlier with Steve about yea, Yeah. April three, fourteen, Easter 514 00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:44,200 Speaker 1: Sunday was sixty five and Palm Sunday was like eighty one. 515 00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:46,640 Speaker 1: It felt like we were in New Orleans or something. 516 00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:49,800 Speaker 1: That was a wonderful Palm Sunday and it never went 517 00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:52,200 Speaker 1: bad to being back or back to being bad during 518 00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:55,400 Speaker 1: the next winter. So that was three thousand and fourteen. 519 00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:57,880 Speaker 1: It was Palm Sunday was like eighty one. East was 520 00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:01,000 Speaker 1: like sixty seven. I'll buy that for a dollar. Yeah, 521 00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:04,360 Speaker 1: And about your question, I think with two number one seeds, 522 00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:07,520 Speaker 1: I think it will be whoever makes the least worst 523 00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,200 Speaker 1: mistake at the worst time. It don't have to be 524 00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:13,720 Speaker 1: a turnover. He'll get that penalty on Patrick against Patrick Mahomes, 525 00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:15,680 Speaker 1: we're not on him, but the guy who pushed him 526 00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:18,600 Speaker 1: out of bounds pretty much stealed the game for the Chiefs. 527 00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:21,480 Speaker 1: Or maybe hitting the kicker trying to block a punt 528 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,240 Speaker 1: and you can't get your defense off the view because 529 00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:26,840 Speaker 1: you whack the kicker or something like that. So it 530 00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:28,400 Speaker 1: don't have to be a touchdown. It could be a 531 00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:31,600 Speaker 1: pass interference that you think you're out of bounds or 532 00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:33,880 Speaker 1: I think it's the defense goes on the field. Nope, 533 00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:35,840 Speaker 1: you gotta go back on because you've got a fifty 534 00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:39,160 Speaker 1: yard pass interference or something. Do you think So you think, Kevin, 535 00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:42,720 Speaker 1: this game might come down to somebody making a catastrophic mistake. Yeah, 536 00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,320 Speaker 1: something like that, or maybe even a small one like 537 00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:48,200 Speaker 1: a big eighty yard run and there was a little 538 00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:51,520 Speaker 1: holding in the backfield. There's something. Yeah, I hear you, 539 00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:54,800 Speaker 1: all right, thanks Kevin. If Kevin thinks that's all it's 540 00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:56,560 Speaker 1: gonna take, he's got to also believe it's gonna be 541 00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:58,400 Speaker 1: a pretty close game. I was thinking too, Yeah, and 542 00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:01,520 Speaker 1: I it's hard to pick against either of these teams, 543 00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:03,920 Speaker 1: as good as they're playing and as talented as they are, 544 00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:07,360 Speaker 1: and it's hard to be ever bet against Mahomes and 545 00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:13,440 Speaker 1: Kelsey and Andy Reid. It's really gonna be. Yeah, it's 546 00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:16,360 Speaker 1: a hard game to call because the explosiveness of Kansas 547 00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:19,280 Speaker 1: City does not seem to be diminished without Tyreek Hill 548 00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:21,480 Speaker 1: like everybody thought it might be. And of course the 549 00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:24,360 Speaker 1: Eagles are a just juggernaut on both sides of the ball. 550 00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:27,800 Speaker 1: Their defensive pass rush is unbelievable and their offense is 551 00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:33,320 Speaker 1: it's a steamroller. So yeah, it's hard to pick. I 552 00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:36,800 Speaker 1: think Kansas City is still going to score points. I 553 00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:38,560 Speaker 1: think they'll still have a plan, and I don't think 554 00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:42,160 Speaker 1: Philly has. There's no way Philly has saw seen a 555 00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:50,240 Speaker 1: quarterback this season anywhere like Kansas City, Buffalo, Sandy or 556 00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:55,440 Speaker 1: LA Cincinnati. You know that the Philly the Eagles just 557 00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:58,480 Speaker 1: didn't face those guys weekend week out like the Chiefs 558 00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:00,720 Speaker 1: defense did. And I think they're They're defense is gonna 559 00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:02,200 Speaker 1: be like, oh my gosh, you know, how does this 560 00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:04,360 Speaker 1: guy do this? Yeah, they're gonna I think they're gonna 561 00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:08,480 Speaker 1: get a little flat footed, So we'll see. But I yeah, 562 00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:10,239 Speaker 1: I'm kind of with him. I think this might be 563 00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:12,960 Speaker 1: a pretty close game. Let's go back to the phones 564 00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:15,640 Speaker 1: and we go to Judy in Buffalo next. What do 565 00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:19,879 Speaker 1: you got first? Judy? And sorry, guys, but I don't 566 00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:24,719 Speaker 1: really care who wins on Sunday. My point is the 567 00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:28,440 Speaker 1: Bills have blown two years now where they were viable 568 00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:32,200 Speaker 1: candidates for the Super Bowl. Okay, I want to know 569 00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:34,839 Speaker 1: what it's gonna take to get somebody like Brandon Cook 570 00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:38,680 Speaker 1: on this team to make a difference. The Bills have 571 00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:41,839 Speaker 1: only one chance, and that score thirty five points per game. 572 00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:45,319 Speaker 1: I don't care what they do with the defense. Last 573 00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:49,239 Speaker 1: year we won three games by three points. Otherwise it 574 00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:53,239 Speaker 1: would have been a digtional season for us. So what 575 00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:55,719 Speaker 1: is it gonna take to get somebody like Brandon Cook 576 00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:59,680 Speaker 1: can make a difference. So we have this great quarterback, 577 00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:03,680 Speaker 1: We're going to waste him if we don't get moving 578 00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:08,000 Speaker 1: on the office. Yeah, Valley, question, Judy, and thanks for 579 00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:10,719 Speaker 1: the call. It's going to be interesting to see what 580 00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:15,360 Speaker 1: the Bills can and cannot do in terms of you know, 581 00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:22,200 Speaker 1: free agency or trades. Now, Cooks is still under contract 582 00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:26,879 Speaker 1: in Houston. We know that at the trade deadline last year. 583 00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:30,200 Speaker 1: He wanted out and was very disappointed when he was 584 00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:34,600 Speaker 1: not moved at the trade deadline last fall, and he 585 00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:37,160 Speaker 1: does have an out in his contract, but it's not 586 00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:40,839 Speaker 1: until after this year where the cap hit is significantly 587 00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:43,680 Speaker 1: reduced for the Texans who are still looking to build 588 00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:45,800 Speaker 1: their roster back up. Now that's not to say you 589 00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:49,000 Speaker 1: couldn't swing a deal and get him in a trade, 590 00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:54,000 Speaker 1: but I would think, you know, thirty year old receiver, 591 00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:58,279 Speaker 1: and for the Bills to fit that contract under the cap, 592 00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:00,839 Speaker 1: because he's got a base salary of eight million this year, 593 00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:04,799 Speaker 1: you might have to spread some of that money out, 594 00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:06,759 Speaker 1: so it might have to be like a sign and 595 00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:09,879 Speaker 1: trade type situation, not to mention the fact that you'd 596 00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:12,160 Speaker 1: be giving up assets in return just to land him. 597 00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:15,399 Speaker 1: And I think more of what we can address there, 598 00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:18,319 Speaker 1: you know, just for everybody listening and callers who want 599 00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:21,200 Speaker 1: to call in and talk about the same thing. To 600 00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:24,640 Speaker 1: bring in another big time wide receivers what she's talking about. Yeah, 601 00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:27,800 Speaker 1: and whether it's Brandon Cooks or guy like Jamar Chase 602 00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:31,640 Speaker 1: or t Higgins or you know, any of these other guys. 603 00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:37,000 Speaker 1: Find a guy who can balance the field away from 604 00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:41,400 Speaker 1: Steph Diggs. So I get that, and I'm kind of 605 00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:44,279 Speaker 1: with you. It looks like to me, like a lot 606 00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:47,000 Speaker 1: of Bills fans, that the league is headed towards. Listen, 607 00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:50,799 Speaker 1: just play defense with whatever you've got left over after 608 00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:53,319 Speaker 1: you build as good an offense as you can. There's 609 00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:56,360 Speaker 1: a lot of that going around. Yeah, and I get it. 610 00:36:57,600 --> 00:36:59,640 Speaker 1: I do too. Yeah, I'm I'm okay. We got that 611 00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:03,680 Speaker 1: guy taking snaps. Give him what he needs to be successful. 612 00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:07,400 Speaker 1: I don't care if you you gotta go get up, 613 00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:10,880 Speaker 1: you know, a new offensive line and a bunch of receiving. 614 00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:13,120 Speaker 1: You need to do it, because that's what it's going 615 00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:15,040 Speaker 1: to take to keep up. If you can score points, 616 00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:18,160 Speaker 1: nobody can really run off and leave you. So I'm 617 00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:21,400 Speaker 1: kind of with Judy there from Buffalo. Whether it's Brandon 618 00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:23,560 Speaker 1: Cooks or somebody else, I don't really care. I don't 619 00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:26,080 Speaker 1: have a favorite, but I know that you know you. 620 00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:30,239 Speaker 1: I think you need to scare defenses in the back 621 00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:33,359 Speaker 1: end more than the Bills were doing it this year. 622 00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:36,680 Speaker 1: And Josh can help that too by being more fishing 623 00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:38,040 Speaker 1: in the pocket like he was in the first four 624 00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:40,920 Speaker 1: or five six weeks of the season, when that was 625 00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:44,200 Speaker 1: the most noted difference between Ken Dorsey and Brian day 626 00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:46,560 Speaker 1: Ball was the fact that the Bills were staying on 627 00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:49,840 Speaker 1: the field a lot. They were taking their yards per attempt, 628 00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:54,600 Speaker 1: air yards per attempt were significantly down from a year ago, 629 00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:58,759 Speaker 1: and they were they were hanging thirty one in week one, 630 00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:01,600 Speaker 1: forty one and week two. I mean they were lightening 631 00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:05,560 Speaker 1: them up. So yeah, I like the philosophy, go out 632 00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:08,040 Speaker 1: and get somebody to bounce the field away from Steph Diggs, 633 00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:10,839 Speaker 1: give Josh Moore weapons, protect him better, and then see 634 00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:13,160 Speaker 1: what you can do with the defense. And that the 635 00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:15,880 Speaker 1: reason we can't answer your question directly, Judy, even though 636 00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:18,400 Speaker 1: you gave us an example of Brandon Cooks, is because 637 00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:22,120 Speaker 1: depending on who the target is, what it's going to 638 00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:25,080 Speaker 1: take is going to be different. So you know, if 639 00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:27,360 Speaker 1: you're going for a midline guy because you can't afford 640 00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:29,279 Speaker 1: to pay top dollar for a receiver because of your 641 00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:33,400 Speaker 1: cap constraints, well then it's just going to take a 642 00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:35,960 Speaker 1: contract in the neighborhood at ten to twelve million a year. 643 00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:39,680 Speaker 1: If you're going to trade for somebody like a Brandon Cooks, 644 00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:42,759 Speaker 1: obviously there's gonna be some assets going out the door, 645 00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:46,680 Speaker 1: whether it's a player or a draft capital, so it's 646 00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:49,320 Speaker 1: going to differ based on who they decide to target 647 00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:53,719 Speaker 1: come free agency. And then I still would say even 648 00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:56,080 Speaker 1: if they add a free agent receiver, there's probably drafting 649 00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:58,439 Speaker 1: one as well. And I'll just give you a quick 650 00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:01,719 Speaker 1: rundown of some free agent receivers because the pool there 651 00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:04,600 Speaker 1: are some recognizable names, but I don't know that there's 652 00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:08,440 Speaker 1: many world beaters. And this is obviously before teams make 653 00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:11,080 Speaker 1: cap cuts, like just cut guys out right from the 654 00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:14,200 Speaker 1: roster because they're up against it, like Mike Thomas in 655 00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:17,520 Speaker 1: New Orleans.

I mean, is a it's a three page list, 663 00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:48,440 Speaker 1: and basically what you're doing is There's two questions. You 664 00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:51,200 Speaker 1: gotta ask, what's it gonna take to get him? And 665 00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:55,879 Speaker 1: is he better than you? Don't have to be better 666 00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:57,719 Speaker 1: than step Is he better than Gabe Davids or as 667 00:39:57,719 --> 00:39:59,840 Speaker 1: good as Gabe Davids Or is he better than Shaquille 668 00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:03,440 Speaker 1: Khalil Shakir?

Well, 672 00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:14,239 Speaker 1: you know that's the conversation. That's the beginning of the 673 00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:16,279 Speaker 1: end of the conversation right there. Yeah, go get him. 674 00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:19,760 Speaker 1: Let's go back to the phones and to Jerry in Buffalo. 675 00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:24,200 Speaker 1: What do you got first, Jerry, Hey, guys, I want 676 00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:27,560 Speaker 1: to make a comment about how we finished the season 677 00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:31,600 Speaker 1: with that Cincinnati and Buffalo game when our man got 678 00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:34,759 Speaker 1: hurt there and they canceled the game. I felt the 679 00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:37,400 Speaker 1: NFL should have canceled the whole week. There should have 680 00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:40,720 Speaker 1: been no game Sunday, and then on the following Thursday, 681 00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:43,839 Speaker 1: the Bills should have played Cincinnati to make up that game, 682 00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:47,120 Speaker 1: and then that would have decide the fate of the playoffs. 683 00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:51,200 Speaker 1: If they win, they get it by on a wildcard playoffs, 684 00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:53,359 Speaker 1: so they get a buy. If they lose, they don't 685 00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:55,360 Speaker 1: get it by they play. But they didn't do it 686 00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:57,360 Speaker 1: that way. They just put it say, well, they have 687 00:40:57,440 --> 00:40:59,680 Speaker 1: a place, so it would be neutral for both teams 688 00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:03,759 Speaker 1: by doing it for both teams. Buffalo, all the people 689 00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:06,319 Speaker 1: that make money when the Bills are playing in town 690 00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:10,400 Speaker 1: are going to lose out on that. These other towns 691 00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:13,120 Speaker 1: and other cities are going to make the money. They 692 00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:17,520 Speaker 1: should have canceled. That's that whole week. Yeah, that Jerry. 693 00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:20,080 Speaker 1: Two reasons why that was never going to happen. Number One, 694 00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:23,400 Speaker 1: there's too much money to be lost by the league 695 00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:26,839 Speaker 1: by canceling the entire Week eighteen slate. The league wasn't 696 00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:32,040 Speaker 1: going to entertain that. Number Two, your suggestion scrap Week eighteen. 697 00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:36,640 Speaker 1: Have the Bills play Thursday. Following Thursday. If they don't 698 00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:39,399 Speaker 1: win that game, they have three days to get ready 699 00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:42,719 Speaker 1: for their first playoff game, four days maximum, even if 700 00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:45,040 Speaker 1: they play it on Monday night on wild Card weekend. 701 00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:49,359 Speaker 1: So that I said, canceled. Canceled that whole week though 702 00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:52,680 Speaker 1: the funday for the games. Then when the Bills play Sunday, 703 00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:56,920 Speaker 1: then they start off the following week against next setday 704 00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:59,560 Speaker 1: wildcard playoff, and it would have been good for Buffle 705 00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:02,440 Speaker 1: because they had to buy well if you're assuming if 706 00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:04,400 Speaker 1: they won, yeah, but if they didn't win, they'd have 707 00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:07,680 Speaker 1: to play that week that same weekend. Do you honestly 708 00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:10,360 Speaker 1: think that if it was any other team that that 709 00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:12,600 Speaker 1: happened too, that they would have done what they did 710 00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:16,200 Speaker 1: to Buffalo? And no, it's all money, Like you said, 711 00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:18,440 Speaker 1: it's all money, But why do you think why do 712 00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:21,520 Speaker 1: you think Buffalo is being made an example of you're 713 00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:25,560 Speaker 1: saying no other team would have been given that. You 714 00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:27,719 Speaker 1: think that if it was any other team, they would 715 00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:31,120 Speaker 1: have scrapped Week eighteen for the whole league where but 716 00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:34,440 Speaker 1: they just pushed the NFL like boy, they when they 717 00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:38,000 Speaker 1: had that pandemic game they did the season. They pushed 718 00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:40,880 Speaker 1: extra games on extra weeks. If they could do that 719 00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:43,160 Speaker 1: for that, then they could do It's not they're not 720 00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:46,520 Speaker 1: going to lose. Its being an extra week long. That's 721 00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:49,480 Speaker 1: all one week off for everybody and then the playoffs 722 00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:52,880 Speaker 1: or resume after that and add another week on to 723 00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:55,360 Speaker 1: the season. That's how they did it for the pandemic. 724 00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:58,120 Speaker 1: Why couldn't they do that for this this was something. 725 00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:01,360 Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong. What happens to that guy, his 726 00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:05,239 Speaker 1: life was more important than anything. And that's why what 727 00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:07,840 Speaker 1: they did was good by canceling the game, but just 728 00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:10,960 Speaker 1: add another week on to the season. Don't give you 729 00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:13,840 Speaker 1: got someone with this was our chance. I'm being honest, 730 00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:17,000 Speaker 1: this is our who was our chance? You know they got? 731 00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:20,479 Speaker 1: The officiating was terrible to stare for everybody, every team. 732 00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:23,880 Speaker 1: I've seen some games. I've seen holding calls. You get 733 00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:25,600 Speaker 1: a guy gets a call for hands in the face 734 00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:29,480 Speaker 1: and the other guy's got to helfensive players got his 735 00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:32,000 Speaker 1: hands in the guy in jersey and in his equipment, 736 00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:34,560 Speaker 1: but they couldn't see that. And then he tried to 737 00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:37,359 Speaker 1: where he got him hands to the face. I get 738 00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:40,560 Speaker 1: what you're saying, Jerry, We're unfortunately up against the break. Um. 739 00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:43,279 Speaker 1: I think this is what people have to accept once 740 00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:45,840 Speaker 1: and for all about officiating. It's never going to be perfect. 741 00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:49,800 Speaker 1: You have humans officiating a game that moves extraordinarily fast. 742 00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:53,319 Speaker 1: They have seven eight officials on the field. They're never 743 00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:56,239 Speaker 1: going to see at all. They're just not and you 744 00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:59,759 Speaker 1: have to go into every game accepting the fact they 745 00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:01,800 Speaker 1: are going to miss some things. They even added a 746 00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:05,319 Speaker 1: sky judge to help miss fewer things, and they still 747 00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:07,560 Speaker 1: miss things. They do miss fewer things, and they do 748 00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:10,680 Speaker 1: correct things without telling anybody. They don't announce it, so 749 00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:12,400 Speaker 1: we don't all know that they actually got it right 750 00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:16,640 Speaker 1: instead of what instead of not right? Yeah, and I 751 00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:18,839 Speaker 1: get it too. As soon as the league, as soon 752 00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:20,440 Speaker 1: as that game was canceled, you know, it was going 753 00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:22,399 Speaker 1: to be a very difficult situation for the league because 754 00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:25,560 Speaker 1: at the end of the season, they can't really delay 755 00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:28,839 Speaker 1: it or push a week eighteen out. They just can't 756 00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:31,800 Speaker 1: do any of that. The venues may not be available. 757 00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:35,720 Speaker 1: There's too many logistical problems from changing cities, changing games, 758 00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:37,960 Speaker 1: doing all that. It wasn't easy to get the game 759 00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:40,640 Speaker 1: to be put in Atlanta, if in case, if indeed 760 00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:43,399 Speaker 1: it needed to be put there, that wasn't easy. There's 761 00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:46,000 Speaker 1: a ton of questions that had to be answered, and 762 00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:49,759 Speaker 1: they just didn't have time to do it because there 763 00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:52,640 Speaker 1: was only a week left in the regular season. So 764 00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:54,920 Speaker 1: I get it. It wasn't perfect. You knew as soon 765 00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:56,840 Speaker 1: as the league canceled that game and they decided that 766 00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:59,719 Speaker 1: they were gonna just have the Bills and Cincinnati go 767 00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:03,080 Speaker 1: was sixteen game schedule. You knew any answer was never 768 00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:05,799 Speaker 1: gonna be fair, and they did the best they could 769 00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:10,319 Speaker 1: under the Yeah, it was a bad situation. I don't 770 00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:14,160 Speaker 1: know that you're and I your your opinion and your 771 00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:16,600 Speaker 1: plan was just as valid as the four million others 772 00:45:16,680 --> 00:45:18,360 Speaker 1: that we heard about during that time and what they 773 00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:20,799 Speaker 1: should do, what they could do, what they should have done. 774 00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:23,399 Speaker 1: That was all. If that was all in a perfect world, 775 00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:25,239 Speaker 1: maybe some of those other things would have worked better 776 00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:27,560 Speaker 1: than what they did, but this is what they did. 777 00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:29,880 Speaker 1: So going back and harpen about it is not going 778 00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:33,400 Speaker 1: to help us. Um. I'm just glad to mar Hamlin. 779 00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:34,920 Speaker 1: There's people who think out there that he's going to 780 00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:37,360 Speaker 1: be another football player here in the very near future, 781 00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:40,279 Speaker 1: which is awesome. But um, when he was on the 782 00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:44,000 Speaker 1: field in Cincinnati on a Monday night, a lot of 783 00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:48,040 Speaker 1: us would have traded traded that trade of the entire 784 00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:50,000 Speaker 1: season just to have him being able to do what 785 00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:53,400 Speaker 1: he's doing now. So, and your contention that it was 786 00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:57,880 Speaker 1: the Bills year after that happened, we learned very quickly 787 00:45:57,920 --> 00:46:01,279 Speaker 1: the Bills just weren't the same football team. And as 788 00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:04,960 Speaker 1: tragic as that situation was, the ripple effects of the 789 00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:07,600 Speaker 1: impact that had on the rest of the players in 790 00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:10,759 Speaker 1: that locker room. I think changed that team for the 791 00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:13,160 Speaker 1: rest of this season. They were not the same team 792 00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:16,120 Speaker 1: after that. And to say that, you know they were 793 00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:18,560 Speaker 1: destined to win the Super Bowl, were not for that event. 794 00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:23,560 Speaker 1: I don't know if we can go there. So it's 795 00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:27,319 Speaker 1: just a tough theory to prove, Jerry. So I hope 796 00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:29,319 Speaker 1: you understand where we're coming from. We gotta take a break, 797 00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:31,239 Speaker 1: but we'll take more phone calls when we come back. 798 00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:33,359 Speaker 1: Here on One Bills Live, presented by Kalida Health, It's 799 00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:49,319 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's Radio.

And 813 00:47:43,239 --> 00:47:46,759 Speaker 1: I thought I just passed that on too. Are you 814 00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:50,920 Speaker 1: in the market for a new AC there? Ron?

I think I think 823 00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:20,759 Speaker 1: somebody in that air conditioning company has a good end 824 00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:23,439 Speaker 1: at the sports books in Vegas. They must know something 825 00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:27,040 Speaker 1: we don't. I'm gonna wait, like AC units, I mean, 826 00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:31,600 Speaker 1: that's like betting on black or red. Yeah, like chiefs win, 827 00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:35,680 Speaker 1: you win too, here's a free AC unit. Why would 828 00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:38,239 Speaker 1: I mean? I understand that's that's an effective way to 829 00:48:38,320 --> 00:48:41,279 Speaker 1: build up a customer list, like people that might be 830 00:48:41,360 --> 00:48:43,800 Speaker 1: in the market for an AC are giving me their name, address, 831 00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:46,920 Speaker 1: phone number, email, all that. So now I have a date, 832 00:48:46,960 --> 00:48:48,279 Speaker 1: but you got to give it to them free if 833 00:48:48,480 --> 00:48:52,239 Speaker 1: if the wrong team wins. If the Chiefs win, as 834 00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:56,920 Speaker 1: Ron said, they are probably going broke, he said, like 835 00:48:57,040 --> 00:48:59,719 Speaker 1: an AC unit in the neighborhood at ten Grand. Yeah, 836 00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:03,440 Speaker 1: come on, is that right? I'd like to see the 837 00:49:03,520 --> 00:49:07,680 Speaker 1: fine print on that one. Yeah, me too, what is 838 00:49:07,719 --> 00:49:12,000 Speaker 1: the Yeah? Okay, I'm like, straight up, just when I 839 00:49:12,080 --> 00:49:16,840 Speaker 1: don't know, that's wow. The man said, Okay, there's an 840 00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:19,799 Speaker 1: AC company in Myrtle Beach off their rocker rolling the dice. 841 00:49:19,880 --> 00:49:23,440 Speaker 1: It sounds like I would say for sure, I'm not 842 00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:27,080 Speaker 1: even questioning it. Got a good second hour coming up 843 00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:29,239 Speaker 1: for you. We'll have more discussion on what you think 844 00:49:29,239 --> 00:49:31,440 Speaker 1: the difference maker will be in this year's Super Bowl. 845 00:49:32,360 --> 00:49:37,200 Speaker 1: We also have ESPN, NFL and college football analyst Sam 846 00:49:37,320 --> 00:49:39,960 Speaker 1: Acho coming your way in hour number two as well. 847 00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:41,640 Speaker 1: You want to stay tuned for that as we talk 848 00:49:41,719 --> 00:49:45,080 Speaker 1: super Bowl with him along with his new book. So 849 00:49:45,200 --> 00:49:47,560 Speaker 1: we'll get all of that coming up an hour number 850 00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:49,839 Speaker 1: two Here on One Bills Live presented by Kalida Health. 851 00:49:49,920 --> 00:50:29,920 Speaker 1: This is Buffalo Bills Radio, The One Bills Live presented 852 00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:33,319 Speaker 1: by called Light to Health. All right, here we are 853 00:50:33,440 --> 00:50:35,600 Speaker 1: our number two Chris Brown, Steve Test. We are you 854 00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:39,880 Speaker 1: on a Thursday, three days away from Super Bowl fifty 855 00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:45,360 Speaker 1: seven between the Chiefs and the Eagles, and we are 856 00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:47,320 Speaker 1: asking you what will be the difference maker in this 857 00:50:47,440 --> 00:50:49,279 Speaker 1: year's Super Bowl. We go to the tweet sheet for 858 00:50:49,320 --> 00:50:52,200 Speaker 1: some answers. Now. Tweet sheet brought to you by Corrigan 859 00:50:52,239 --> 00:50:55,240 Speaker 1: Moving Systems, the official equipment moving company of the Buffalo Bills, 860 00:50:55,920 --> 00:50:59,720 Speaker 1: and Greg leads us off and says, Eagles defense because 861 00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:02,839 Speaker 1: of their physicality. You know what's really interesting about their 862 00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:07,759 Speaker 1: pass rush, Steve. They almost play a fifty front or 863 00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:10,120 Speaker 1: a delayed fifty front, so it looks like a four 864 00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:11,560 Speaker 1: man front, and all of a sudden there's a fifth 865 00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:15,320 Speaker 1: guy there, and they forced those five offensive linemen to 866 00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:18,800 Speaker 1: play man to man. They only trigger it when the 867 00:51:18,920 --> 00:51:22,480 Speaker 1: opponent is spread out, you know, nobody in the back 868 00:51:22,560 --> 00:51:27,120 Speaker 1: like empty backfield. They'll go man up and just say, okay, 869 00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:29,799 Speaker 1: you're gonna go nobody in the backfield. We're gonna going 870 00:51:29,840 --> 00:51:31,719 Speaker 1: to go five on your five, and are five are 871 00:51:31,760 --> 00:51:34,000 Speaker 1: better than your five? And we're gonna win. And more 872 00:51:34,080 --> 00:51:35,560 Speaker 1: often than not they do, and it's one of the 873 00:51:35,600 --> 00:51:38,759 Speaker 1: big reasons why they got seventy sacks this year. Seventy 874 00:51:39,680 --> 00:51:41,799 Speaker 1: it's a huge number and that and it has been 875 00:51:41,840 --> 00:51:43,880 Speaker 1: the difference for him, no question about it, and that 876 00:51:44,840 --> 00:51:46,880 Speaker 1: the Chiefs are gonna have to have an answer for 877 00:51:47,040 --> 00:51:51,200 Speaker 1: it now. One thing. Also, if the Chiefs are the 878 00:51:51,280 --> 00:51:54,920 Speaker 1: team we know they are, they will have an answer 879 00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:56,960 Speaker 1: for it, and in fact will probably do a couple 880 00:51:57,000 --> 00:51:59,520 Speaker 1: of things to invite it. Invite them to do it 881 00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:02,080 Speaker 1: once in a while, especially with two weeks to prepare. Yeah, 882 00:52:02,239 --> 00:52:05,799 Speaker 1: they'll they'll have a wrinkle in their offense where they're 883 00:52:05,800 --> 00:52:10,239 Speaker 1: gonna get get it blocked up and lead those six 884 00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:16,000 Speaker 1: guys in the back end hanging out to dry. We'll see. Yeah, 885 00:52:16,600 --> 00:52:18,960 Speaker 1: Mica on the tweet sheet feels the same way. Eagles 886 00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:21,320 Speaker 1: pass rush will be the difference. Mahomes still dealing with 887 00:52:21,400 --> 00:52:23,200 Speaker 1: that ankle injury that takes weeks to heal, so it 888 00:52:23,200 --> 00:52:25,680 Speaker 1: won't be one hundred percent. If they can't get pressure, 889 00:52:25,719 --> 00:52:28,279 Speaker 1: he'll simply pick them apart. I've seen a lot of 890 00:52:28,320 --> 00:52:31,399 Speaker 1: people Steve believe that this game could play out much 891 00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:34,080 Speaker 1: the way the Super Bowl a few years ago did 892 00:52:34,200 --> 00:52:37,400 Speaker 1: between the Chiefs and Tampa. When if you remember, Mahomes 893 00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:40,479 Speaker 1: had a toe injury and couldn't move around in that pass. 894 00:52:40,560 --> 00:52:43,600 Speaker 1: Rush ate him for lunch most of the day, and 895 00:52:44,160 --> 00:52:46,959 Speaker 1: you know, the Chiefs ultimately came up short. Some people 896 00:52:47,040 --> 00:52:50,120 Speaker 1: feel it's gonna play out similarly with this Eagles pass. 897 00:52:50,200 --> 00:52:52,280 Speaker 1: I don't think so. Not the way he played against 898 00:52:52,320 --> 00:52:55,160 Speaker 1: Cincinnati in the Division Round. He played he moved around fine. 899 00:52:55,160 --> 00:52:56,759 Speaker 1: I saw it a couple of times where he looked 900 00:52:56,760 --> 00:52:58,759 Speaker 1: like a little twinge in his you know, hitching his 901 00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:04,480 Speaker 1: giddy up. But with two weeks to get better. Yeah, 902 00:53:04,520 --> 00:53:06,840 Speaker 1: I think that high ankles or whatever it is is 903 00:53:07,880 --> 00:53:12,120 Speaker 1: not even a ripple. And if Mahomes is healthy and 904 00:53:12,280 --> 00:53:14,759 Speaker 1: the Eagles are counting on him not to be, I 905 00:53:14,800 --> 00:53:17,879 Speaker 1: think it's a I think they're asking for it. Yeah, 906 00:53:18,239 --> 00:53:19,840 Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't think the ankle is a 907 00:53:19,880 --> 00:53:24,400 Speaker 1: factor at all in this game. Okay, Tiffany says on 908 00:53:24,520 --> 00:53:29,520 Speaker 1: the tweet sheet, I believe Andy Reid will Philly, specially Eagles, 909 00:53:29,600 --> 00:53:32,000 Speaker 1: with a few out defensive plays he's been saving to 910 00:53:32,160 --> 00:53:35,680 Speaker 1: deploy on the big stage Sunday. Well, there's one thing 911 00:53:35,800 --> 00:53:38,319 Speaker 1: for sure. Andy Reid is as creative as they come, 912 00:53:39,480 --> 00:53:42,360 Speaker 1: and it wouldn't shock me if he's got some special 913 00:53:42,440 --> 00:53:44,600 Speaker 1: plays dialed up for what he think could work at 914 00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:48,400 Speaker 1: a critical moment against that team. Everybody's talked about how 915 00:53:48,480 --> 00:53:51,399 Speaker 1: aggressive Nick Siriani has been on third and fourth down, 916 00:53:52,160 --> 00:53:54,279 Speaker 1: and I know Andy Reid in the regular season isn't 917 00:53:54,280 --> 00:53:56,960 Speaker 1: super aggressive. I think his percentage is down in the 918 00:53:57,040 --> 00:53:59,440 Speaker 1: lower third of the league in terms of aggressiveness. But 919 00:53:59,560 --> 00:54:02,879 Speaker 1: in the play offs his aggressive in his doubles, He's 920 00:54:03,040 --> 00:54:06,040 Speaker 1: very aggressive in the postseason, or at least he has 921 00:54:06,080 --> 00:54:08,480 Speaker 1: been in the past. We'll see if he is on 922 00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:11,600 Speaker 1: Super Bowl Sunday, but yeah, that wouldn't surprise me. If 923 00:54:11,640 --> 00:54:13,920 Speaker 1: he's got a couple of things up his sleeve. Usually 924 00:54:13,920 --> 00:54:18,040 Speaker 1: he does so, and Philly will too. It'll be no 925 00:54:18,200 --> 00:54:21,640 Speaker 1: holds barred. I mean, yeah, that's this is the one 926 00:54:21,840 --> 00:54:25,239 Speaker 1: ultimate game where they always say, don't leave it on 927 00:54:25,280 --> 00:54:27,480 Speaker 1: the table. I mean, I got a block punt in 928 00:54:27,520 --> 00:54:30,759 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl for that because of that mentality. That's 929 00:54:30,960 --> 00:54:32,440 Speaker 1: just the way you're as the first punt of the game, 930 00:54:32,480 --> 00:54:36,719 Speaker 1: they said, yeah, go for it. So coaches are in 931 00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:40,560 Speaker 1: that mindset there's nothing on off the table, you know, 932 00:54:40,640 --> 00:54:42,840 Speaker 1: they say, well, if we get into they're always saying, hey, 933 00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:44,719 Speaker 1: if we get into this certain situation, we may do this, 934 00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:47,200 Speaker 1: or may try that, or if something funky happens and 935 00:54:47,239 --> 00:54:48,600 Speaker 1: we get in there, you know, they got the score 936 00:54:48,600 --> 00:54:50,480 Speaker 1: out of whack or this that's going on, we might 937 00:54:50,560 --> 00:54:55,480 Speaker 1: try something like no, it's like whatever you And famously, 938 00:54:55,680 --> 00:55:00,360 Speaker 1: in that Philadelphia, New England super Bowl, the Phillies Special 939 00:55:00,560 --> 00:55:03,040 Speaker 1: Fulls comes overcaus hey, you want the Philly Philly and 940 00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:08,320 Speaker 1: Doug Peterson's going okay, yeah, yeah. He waited like a 941 00:55:08,440 --> 00:55:11,040 Speaker 1: beat and a half. Yeah, let's do it. Yeah, let's 942 00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:15,640 Speaker 1: do it. And and Frank right was the offensive o 943 00:55:15,840 --> 00:55:17,880 Speaker 1: C And he said it was. It was a brilliant 944 00:55:17,920 --> 00:55:20,480 Speaker 1: move by Peterson because that's exactly the kind of vibe 945 00:55:20,600 --> 00:55:23,520 Speaker 1: that the team had the entire year, and he felt 946 00:55:23,600 --> 00:55:24,879 Speaker 1: it and he went with it, and he said, okay, 947 00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:27,320 Speaker 1: go and he said, yeah, let's do it. And you 948 00:55:27,360 --> 00:55:30,680 Speaker 1: know they pulled it off obviously famously, And there you 949 00:55:30,760 --> 00:55:33,720 Speaker 1: have it. That's the kind of mindset these coaching staffs 950 00:55:33,760 --> 00:55:35,480 Speaker 1: are going to be in for this game. So let 951 00:55:35,560 --> 00:55:38,239 Speaker 1: me ask you this, because we've seen reports this week 952 00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:43,160 Speaker 1: that the Chiefs practice every minute detail of what game 953 00:55:43,280 --> 00:55:45,280 Speaker 1: day is going to be in the Super Bowl, even 954 00:55:46,520 --> 00:55:50,520 Speaker 1: halftime they practiced halftime and how long it would be 955 00:55:51,239 --> 00:55:53,839 Speaker 1: and what they would do if it gets extended even 956 00:55:53,960 --> 00:55:56,400 Speaker 1: longer because of some snaff food with the stage performance 957 00:55:56,400 --> 00:55:58,640 Speaker 1: of Rihanna, and maybe they can't get stuff off the field. 958 00:55:58,760 --> 00:56:02,640 Speaker 1: The thing they practice that it's a thing. In fact, 959 00:56:03,160 --> 00:56:06,080 Speaker 1: it's a it's a big moment too. What we learned 960 00:56:06,080 --> 00:56:08,719 Speaker 1: in our Super Bowls, even way back then, it's a 961 00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:11,279 Speaker 1: twenty five it's a twelve minute half time usually in 962 00:56:11,320 --> 00:56:14,120 Speaker 1: this in the regular season, regular season. Now it's a 963 00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:16,839 Speaker 1: twenty five minute a halftime. It's more than more than 964 00:56:16,880 --> 00:56:19,480 Speaker 1: twice just more than twice as long twenty five minutes 965 00:56:19,840 --> 00:56:25,839 Speaker 1: for halftime and usually and we talk about it all 966 00:56:25,840 --> 00:56:28,120 Speaker 1: the time, how the NFL is is a thing of 967 00:56:28,239 --> 00:56:31,560 Speaker 1: a place, of habit of routine. Right, Well, you have 968 00:56:31,719 --> 00:56:37,279 Speaker 1: your your game day meal is four hours or two 969 00:56:37,360 --> 00:56:40,320 Speaker 1: hours or three hours, two three or four hours before 970 00:56:40,440 --> 00:56:45,840 Speaker 1: game time, extended pregame because of America, the beautiful, the 971 00:56:45,960 --> 00:56:50,680 Speaker 1: national anthem, the you know, the flyover, the parades, the 972 00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:54,839 Speaker 1: interviews that introduction all of that stuff. It's you're off 973 00:56:54,880 --> 00:56:57,360 Speaker 1: the field earlier before game time than you normally are 974 00:56:57,800 --> 00:57:00,480 Speaker 1: in a regular season game. So there's that So all 975 00:57:00,520 --> 00:57:04,360 Speaker 1: that stuff. By halftime of the game, they have to 976 00:57:04,520 --> 00:57:07,719 Speaker 1: bring food in for the players because it's so long, 977 00:57:08,040 --> 00:57:12,160 Speaker 1: they're starving and they're out of carbs. So they got 978 00:57:12,239 --> 00:57:13,960 Speaker 1: all these you know, and they didn't remember when the 979 00:57:14,040 --> 00:57:16,800 Speaker 1: Chiefs game in Kansas City for the Bills got delayed 980 00:57:16,920 --> 00:57:21,760 Speaker 1: in week five or twenty twenty, right lightning, they break 981 00:57:21,800 --> 00:57:24,840 Speaker 1: out the peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, So they got 982 00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:26,680 Speaker 1: to have that going for them. They gotta have all 983 00:57:26,720 --> 00:57:30,960 Speaker 1: this stuff ready, you know. So practicing the halftime of 984 00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:34,360 Speaker 1: the super Bowl is that is, I think kind of 985 00:57:34,400 --> 00:57:37,360 Speaker 1: a normal move. You gotta get your guy's minds around 986 00:57:37,400 --> 00:57:38,720 Speaker 1: what it's going to be like. So they're not sitting 987 00:57:38,720 --> 00:57:42,040 Speaker 1: there going well, so they start getting distracted by the delays, 988 00:57:42,360 --> 00:57:44,240 Speaker 1: they start getting put off by it. They got to 989 00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:47,360 Speaker 1: be ready for it. And when they go into that 990 00:57:47,440 --> 00:57:51,080 Speaker 1: halftime and they're ready for it and they oh yeah, okay, 991 00:57:51,400 --> 00:57:54,680 Speaker 1: it gives them more confidence and everything else that they've 992 00:57:54,720 --> 00:57:57,480 Speaker 1: planned to do because we're all over this. We got this, 993 00:57:57,840 --> 00:57:59,720 Speaker 1: yeah all right, oh yeah, I remember the yeah, okay, 994 00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:03,800 Speaker 1: all of that. It's it builds the confidence you get 995 00:58:03,840 --> 00:58:07,480 Speaker 1: in your preparation when you see it taking place. And 996 00:58:07,600 --> 00:58:10,560 Speaker 1: working even in the small things like you know, peanut 997 00:58:10,560 --> 00:58:14,080 Speaker 1: butter and jelly sandwiches. At halftime, it really goes a 998 00:58:14,160 --> 00:58:16,320 Speaker 1: long way towards setting your mind right, going out and 999 00:58:16,360 --> 00:58:19,120 Speaker 1: trying and playing your best. Right. Fair enough, it's big, man, 1000 00:58:19,160 --> 00:58:22,960 Speaker 1: because I'm telling you what, because it's for how long 1001 00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:27,800 Speaker 1: halftime is Like today is when the players have had 1002 00:58:28,480 --> 00:58:33,320 Speaker 1: enough most of the what the Thursday.

I mean, 1042 01:00:48,720 --> 01:00:51,360 Speaker 1: especially Damar Hamley. You saw what happened there and like 1043 01:00:51,440 --> 01:00:53,240 Speaker 1: how there were so many leaders wondering what should we 1044 01:00:53,320 --> 01:00:55,080 Speaker 1: do and how should we do it?

Yeah, we kind of experienced that firsthand 1060 01:01:33,200 --> 01:01:37,920 Speaker 1: here in Buffalo with the tragic racial shooting back in 1061 01:01:38,080 --> 01:01:41,880 Speaker 1: May last year where the only grocery store where unfortunately 1062 01:01:41,920 --> 01:01:45,120 Speaker 1: this incident happened, turned east the East Buffalo community on 1063 01:01:45,200 --> 01:01:48,560 Speaker 1: Jefferson Avenue into a food desert, and you know, it 1064 01:01:48,720 --> 01:01:52,680 Speaker 1: prompted some people to take positive action as well.

How do you get to that fire 1090 01:03:03,200 --> 01:03:05,920 Speaker 1: and follow it to change the world. Well, Sam, good 1091 01:03:06,000 --> 01:03:07,840 Speaker 1: luck with the book. What we're looking forward to its release. 1092 01:03:07,880 --> 01:03:10,000 Speaker 1: I wanted to also ask you about the other project 1093 01:03:10,080 --> 01:03:12,200 Speaker 1: we mentioned a moment ago. You are an analyst for 1094 01:03:12,480 --> 01:03:16,720 Speaker 1: XFL football. What led to this and how's it gonna go? 1095 01:03:16,760 --> 01:03:18,840 Speaker 1: And what are your thoughts about in this new season 1096 01:03:18,880 --> 01:03:21,880 Speaker 1: coming up? What's the schedule look like? Man, I couldn't 1097 01:03:21,880 --> 01:03:24,160 Speaker 1: be more excited. So the season starts the week after 1098 01:03:24,280 --> 01:03:27,480 Speaker 1: Super Bowl, so in about nine days is when the 1099 01:03:27,520 --> 01:03:30,800 Speaker 1: first game is and so February eighteenth, And what led 1100 01:03:30,840 --> 01:03:32,960 Speaker 1: to it was really an opportunity. I haven't told a 1101 01:03:32,960 --> 01:03:35,560 Speaker 1: lot of people this story. So I was covering college 1102 01:03:35,600 --> 01:03:38,240 Speaker 1: football in the NFL and happened to be in studio 1103 01:03:38,360 --> 01:03:41,200 Speaker 1: one day and one of my hosts missed their flight. 1104 01:03:41,680 --> 01:03:43,560 Speaker 1: And they missed their flight, and so somebody said, hey, Sam, 1105 01:03:43,600 --> 01:03:45,440 Speaker 1: we're gonna are you available to be in studio? I 1106 01:03:45,480 --> 01:03:48,440 Speaker 1: said sure, And so they were gonna do this audition, 1107 01:03:48,600 --> 01:03:50,120 Speaker 1: not really an audition, but it's so many ways an 1108 01:03:50,120 --> 01:03:52,280 Speaker 1: audition for the XSO, which is going to be totally 1109 01:03:52,360 --> 01:03:55,120 Speaker 1: different than anything we've seen. You're gonna have open microphone, 1110 01:03:55,200 --> 01:03:58,520 Speaker 1: so player coach communication, you'll hear all of that. There's 1111 01:03:58,560 --> 01:04:01,320 Speaker 1: gonna be new rules where coaching get one challenge. You 1112 01:04:01,360 --> 01:04:04,560 Speaker 1: can challenge anything in the entire game, right like you 1113 01:04:04,600 --> 01:04:07,200 Speaker 1: can challenge a miss pass interferes. You can challenge whatever 1114 01:04:07,200 --> 01:04:10,280 Speaker 1: you want to challenge. The Rock is the co owner 1115 01:04:10,320 --> 01:04:13,840 Speaker 1: along with Danny Garcia, so co owners of the XFL. 1116 01:04:13,920 --> 01:04:16,400 Speaker 1: And so that's what led to my opportunity. I got 1117 01:04:16,480 --> 01:04:18,280 Speaker 1: a chance to do this audition because someone missed their 1118 01:04:18,320 --> 01:04:19,720 Speaker 1: flight and I think I did a really good job. 1119 01:04:19,760 --> 01:04:21,720 Speaker 1: And like the referee, you know, when you had integrated 1120 01:04:21,760 --> 01:04:24,240 Speaker 1: Dean Blandy, know, the referee who's gonna we're gonna hear 1121 01:04:24,320 --> 01:04:26,880 Speaker 1: his audio like throughout the entire game anytime a call 1122 01:04:26,960 --> 01:04:29,000 Speaker 1: is being made. And so I got a chance to 1123 01:04:29,120 --> 01:04:32,880 Speaker 1: do that. And then along with that, my role will 1124 01:04:32,880 --> 01:04:34,680 Speaker 1: be calling some of the game. So I'll be the 1125 01:04:35,480 --> 01:04:37,680 Speaker 1: color analyst for you know, week one, it will be 1126 01:04:38,040 --> 01:04:41,280 Speaker 1: on ESPN. The Orlando Guardians at the Houston Roughnecks is 1127 01:04:41,320 --> 01:04:43,600 Speaker 1: my first game. There's gonna be a game on FX 1128 01:04:43,680 --> 01:04:47,360 Speaker 1: the following week on Thursday, so really Saturdays and Sundays 1129 01:04:47,480 --> 01:04:49,800 Speaker 1: or mainly the games, and also Thursdays and a Friday 1130 01:04:49,880 --> 01:04:53,320 Speaker 1: here are there. Yeah, And I would imagine Sam that 1131 01:04:54,040 --> 01:04:56,720 Speaker 1: this is gonna go outside the box of you know 1132 01:04:56,840 --> 01:04:59,280 Speaker 1: what Steve did for CB, yes for eighteen twenty years 1133 01:04:59,280 --> 01:05:04,240 Speaker 1: as a Klorand because with all that extra content live, 1134 01:05:06,000 --> 01:05:08,080 Speaker 1: we're gonna be able to like climb into the head 1135 01:05:08,360 --> 01:05:11,520 Speaker 1: of those player coach conversations all the more because we're 1136 01:05:11,520 --> 01:05:14,120 Speaker 1: gonna not only see them live, but you're gonna be 1137 01:05:14,200 --> 01:05:16,560 Speaker 1: able to kind of commentate on them having been in 1138 01:05:16,600 --> 01:05:20,040 Speaker 1: those situations yourself. I would assume, and you'll be able 1139 01:05:20,080 --> 01:05:21,880 Speaker 1: to listen to them. It's almost like you don't even 1140 01:05:21,960 --> 01:05:23,880 Speaker 1: need Like, you know, you have the coach interviews which 1141 01:05:23,920 --> 01:05:26,200 Speaker 1: will have at halftime, all we gotta run hard and 1142 01:05:26,400 --> 01:05:28,400 Speaker 1: tackle better and all these things. They don't give you anything. 1143 01:05:28,640 --> 01:05:31,280 Speaker 1: We'll be in the locker room at halftime listening to 1144 01:05:31,400 --> 01:05:34,360 Speaker 1: what the coaches are saying and what they're teaching their players. 1145 01:05:34,440 --> 01:05:36,040 Speaker 1: Will have you know, in the NFL and see if 1146 01:05:36,040 --> 01:05:37,840 Speaker 1: you know this really well, they have the iPads where 1147 01:05:37,840 --> 01:05:40,520 Speaker 1: they just do the screenshots. You only see a screenshot 1148 01:05:40,880 --> 01:05:43,160 Speaker 1: of the play that happened before on the sideline. Well, 1149 01:05:43,200 --> 01:05:45,560 Speaker 1: now you actually have the live film of the live footage. 1150 01:05:45,800 --> 01:05:48,400 Speaker 1: You can watch it. The coaches have access, the players 1151 01:05:48,440 --> 01:05:50,680 Speaker 1: have access, but also we as fans will be able 1152 01:05:50,680 --> 01:05:53,280 Speaker 1: to have access to that. So after a touchdown, you'll 1153 01:05:53,280 --> 01:05:55,040 Speaker 1: be able to go and watch what the player have 1154 01:05:55,160 --> 01:05:57,600 Speaker 1: The quarterback or the player tell me what happened on 1155 01:05:57,680 --> 01:05:59,200 Speaker 1: this play, and you'll watch it and they'll tell you 1156 01:05:59,320 --> 01:06:01,920 Speaker 1: exactly what the play was called. You'll hear play calls, 1157 01:06:02,000 --> 01:06:05,040 Speaker 1: you'll hear defensive adjustment to or from defensive coordinators as 1158 01:06:05,080 --> 01:06:08,960 Speaker 1: they come back against offensive coordinators. This is unprecedented access. 1159 01:06:09,000 --> 01:06:12,240 Speaker 1: That's why I'm so excited about this XFL three point er. Yes, 1160 01:06:12,320 --> 01:06:15,280 Speaker 1: the access, but also the leadership, the Rock, Danny Garcia, 1161 01:06:15,400 --> 01:06:18,720 Speaker 1: Red Redbird Capital, the partners obviously ESPN a multi year agreement. 1162 01:06:19,600 --> 01:06:22,000 Speaker 1: So you've also got some stuff going on as as 1163 01:06:22,080 --> 01:06:24,880 Speaker 1: everybody in the football world, everybody's kind of focused on 1164 01:06:25,320 --> 01:06:29,000 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl coming up here this weekend. You have 1165 01:06:29,320 --> 01:06:31,720 Speaker 1: also kept track a little bit of what's going on 1166 01:06:31,800 --> 01:06:33,520 Speaker 1: with your old team, the Buffalo Bills, where you were, 1167 01:06:33,680 --> 01:06:35,280 Speaker 1: like you said, you're here for a cup of coffee. 1168 01:06:36,800 --> 01:06:38,720 Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on a team like Buffalo, like 1169 01:06:38,800 --> 01:06:42,120 Speaker 1: a team like San Francisco, these like a team like 1170 01:06:42,240 --> 01:06:44,400 Speaker 1: Cincinnati in Kansas City, those kind of teams that are 1171 01:06:44,520 --> 01:06:48,920 Speaker 1: up at the top along with Philadelphia. You know that 1172 01:06:49,000 --> 01:06:51,080 Speaker 1: they're so close every year, and when you get into 1173 01:06:51,080 --> 01:06:53,920 Speaker 1: those final games, the division round of the playoffs and 1174 01:06:53,920 --> 01:06:56,160 Speaker 1: the championship round of the playoffs and the Super Bowl, 1175 01:06:56,600 --> 01:06:58,440 Speaker 1: you know what the key ingredients are that can put 1176 01:06:58,520 --> 01:06:59,920 Speaker 1: a team over the top. What do you see the 1177 01:07:00,120 --> 01:07:02,480 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills at right there as well as some of 1178 01:07:02,520 --> 01:07:03,880 Speaker 1: the other teams that are right at the top of 1179 01:07:03,960 --> 01:07:07,760 Speaker 1: the heap. Well, and you all know this and Steve 1180 01:07:07,840 --> 01:07:11,360 Speaker 1: you know this well as well. You could almost feel 1181 01:07:11,440 --> 01:07:16,400 Speaker 1: the pressure that was put on the team, or maybe 1182 01:07:16,440 --> 01:07:19,520 Speaker 1: the team put on themselves. The expectations, specifically with Buffalo 1183 01:07:20,080 --> 01:07:22,840 Speaker 1: and sometimes that it's a lot of weight. And I 1184 01:07:22,920 --> 01:07:24,320 Speaker 1: know the team went through a lot, right, I mean 1185 01:07:24,400 --> 01:07:27,720 Speaker 1: think about like players losing loved ones early in the season, 1186 01:07:28,640 --> 01:07:31,919 Speaker 1: the snowstorms, you think about the Marham like, the team 1187 01:07:31,960 --> 01:07:33,840 Speaker 1: went through a lot and these are not excuses. But 1188 01:07:33,960 --> 01:07:37,320 Speaker 1: then the expectations, right, the Patriots are down, Patriots have 1189 01:07:37,360 --> 01:07:39,360 Speaker 1: been down. This is your time, no more, Tom Brady, 1190 01:07:39,800 --> 01:07:43,200 Speaker 1: and you could that's what I felt. That pressure. It 1191 01:07:43,360 --> 01:07:45,440 Speaker 1: seems like with Kansas City and you talk about other 1192 01:07:45,480 --> 01:07:48,760 Speaker 1: teams at the top, there's this freedom in so many ways, 1193 01:07:49,000 --> 01:07:50,360 Speaker 1: and maybe that's a you know, I don't know what 1194 01:07:50,560 --> 01:07:52,960 Speaker 1: that comes from. Right, there's this freedom and obviously not 1195 01:07:53,040 --> 01:07:54,600 Speaker 1: every team can make it every year we get it, 1196 01:07:56,040 --> 01:07:58,320 Speaker 1: but man, it's like, you know the talents there, you 1197 01:07:58,400 --> 01:08:01,400 Speaker 1: know the coaching is there. But felt that pressure and 1198 01:08:01,520 --> 01:08:03,080 Speaker 1: that pushing and trying to go back out there and 1199 01:08:03,080 --> 01:08:04,840 Speaker 1: play even though Josh Allen had the injury and trying 1200 01:08:04,880 --> 01:08:07,360 Speaker 1: to play through it. Stuff like that is where you say, man, 1201 01:08:07,400 --> 01:08:10,600 Speaker 1: how do you get over the hump? And sometimes it 1202 01:08:10,920 --> 01:08:13,120 Speaker 1: is it does take a player or two, right, Losing 1203 01:08:13,200 --> 01:08:15,440 Speaker 1: Von Miller is obviously hues. The reason you've got him 1204 01:08:15,480 --> 01:08:16,840 Speaker 1: was to go and win in the playoffs and win 1205 01:08:17,160 --> 01:08:19,560 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl, So losing him hurts a ton. So 1206 01:08:19,680 --> 01:08:21,640 Speaker 1: maybe it just takes a healthy Von you know, like 1207 01:08:21,760 --> 01:08:23,599 Speaker 1: sometimes that's all it takes. But that's what I felt 1208 01:08:24,000 --> 01:08:26,360 Speaker 1: watching the games, a little bit of that pressure for 1209 01:08:26,760 --> 01:08:30,280 Speaker 1: the Bills. And then specifically with respect to the Super 1210 01:08:30,320 --> 01:08:33,760 Speaker 1: Bowl matchup, Sam, you know you have two of well, 1211 01:08:33,840 --> 01:08:36,840 Speaker 1: I think, what are arguably the two best offensive lines 1212 01:08:37,439 --> 01:08:41,320 Speaker 1: in football matching up. I know the Eagles are pretty 1213 01:08:41,360 --> 01:08:43,880 Speaker 1: darn good front to back on the defensive side as well. 1214 01:08:44,400 --> 01:08:47,479 Speaker 1: The Chiefs might not be quite as talented defensively, but 1215 01:08:47,560 --> 01:08:50,680 Speaker 1: they've got a veteran play caller in Spagnolo who can 1216 01:08:50,760 --> 01:08:53,760 Speaker 1: somehow tilt the scales in favor of his unit an 1217 01:08:53,840 --> 01:08:58,960 Speaker 1: awful lot. Do you see the offenses dictating this game 1218 01:08:59,600 --> 01:09:02,759 Speaker 1: or do you anticipate maybe one of these defensive units 1219 01:09:03,320 --> 01:09:07,040 Speaker 1: playing a major hand in this thing. I think the 1220 01:09:07,280 --> 01:09:13,160 Speaker 1: defense for the Chiefs will have to step up, and 1221 01:09:13,200 --> 01:09:15,160 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's going to be Chris Jones 1222 01:09:15,280 --> 01:09:20,400 Speaker 1: on the defensive line, or George carlottis the rookie out 1223 01:09:20,439 --> 01:09:23,040 Speaker 1: of produce. I don't know who it'll be or what 1224 01:09:23,280 --> 01:09:26,920 Speaker 1: it'll be, but someone on Philly's defense step up. I 1225 01:09:26,960 --> 01:09:28,200 Speaker 1: don't know if it's just going to be in the 1226 01:09:28,320 --> 01:09:30,599 Speaker 1: in the passing game right and getting sacked. I think 1227 01:09:30,600 --> 01:09:32,880 Speaker 1: it'll have to be like stopping the run Philly when 1228 01:09:32,920 --> 01:09:35,839 Speaker 1: the rubber meets the road. Philly wants to run the football. 1229 01:09:36,479 --> 01:09:38,040 Speaker 1: We've seen it a couple time they ran over. They 1230 01:09:38,080 --> 01:09:39,960 Speaker 1: had a couple of game over two hundred and sixty 1231 01:09:40,000 --> 01:09:41,720 Speaker 1: fifty yards once a couple of games, you know, like 1232 01:09:42,160 --> 01:09:44,479 Speaker 1: in the playoffs, run over hundred sixty Philly wants to 1233 01:09:44,640 --> 01:09:47,559 Speaker 1: run the ball. And if Philly can dictate the game 1234 01:09:47,600 --> 01:09:49,479 Speaker 1: by running the ball, it's gonna be a long day 1235 01:09:50,240 --> 01:09:53,559 Speaker 1: for the Chiefs. But if the Chiefs can get Philly 1236 01:09:53,640 --> 01:09:58,120 Speaker 1: and like second and long, right, third and long, maybe 1237 01:09:58,160 --> 01:10:00,040 Speaker 1: force a turnover to the one game that Jay it 1238 01:10:00,160 --> 01:10:02,320 Speaker 1: hurts loss. I think they turned the ball over four 1239 01:10:02,400 --> 01:10:07,519 Speaker 1: times one interception. I believe it was three fumbles the 1240 01:10:07,640 --> 01:10:11,600 Speaker 1: formula right, Yeah, I was gonna ask as well. It 1241 01:10:11,680 --> 01:10:14,200 Speaker 1: seems like and if you boil his game down to 1242 01:10:14,280 --> 01:10:19,240 Speaker 1: his most basic fundamental things. Phillies seems to have a 1243 01:10:19,400 --> 01:10:23,240 Speaker 1: really loaded roster around Jalen Hurts. Certainly, Jalen played very 1244 01:10:23,320 --> 01:10:27,120 Speaker 1: well this season, but their defensive front, their secondary of Philadelphia, 1245 01:10:27,720 --> 01:10:30,240 Speaker 1: and of course their offensive line, running game and all 1246 01:10:30,479 --> 01:10:33,080 Speaker 1: and their weapons on the outside. They seem to be 1247 01:10:33,160 --> 01:10:35,640 Speaker 1: a really loaded roster. The Kansas City Chiefs seemed to 1248 01:10:35,680 --> 01:10:38,719 Speaker 1: be Pat Mahomes, Travis Kelsey and a bunch of guys. 1249 01:10:41,160 --> 01:10:45,519 Speaker 1: Is that the basics of this game is because because 1250 01:10:45,680 --> 01:10:50,960 Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey and Pat Mahomes lead all time historic levels 1251 01:10:51,400 --> 01:10:54,240 Speaker 1: in some of their statistics in playoff football, those two 1252 01:10:54,320 --> 01:10:57,240 Speaker 1: guys are powerhouses. But the Eagles come in with the 1253 01:10:57,320 --> 01:10:59,600 Speaker 1: really loaded roster. Is that kind of the basics of 1254 01:10:59,680 --> 01:11:03,040 Speaker 1: this game. Well, I think it's it's it's it's deeper 1255 01:11:03,120 --> 01:11:05,040 Speaker 1: than that. I think the next level is the bunch 1256 01:11:05,080 --> 01:11:07,080 Speaker 1: of guys. But the coach putting these bunch of guys 1257 01:11:07,120 --> 01:11:09,920 Speaker 1: in a position to succeed. Mark Quez Valdes Scantling. Remember 1258 01:11:09,960 --> 01:11:12,080 Speaker 1: he was in Green Bay. This dude was one of 1259 01:11:12,160 --> 01:11:14,080 Speaker 1: the top as far as like average yards per cash. 1260 01:11:14,120 --> 01:11:15,680 Speaker 1: He was tops in the league. So you get rid 1261 01:11:15,680 --> 01:11:18,720 Speaker 1: of Tyreek Hill all of a sudden, you do have 1262 01:11:18,840 --> 01:11:22,120 Speaker 1: a potential deep threatened scantling Juju Smith Schuster who yes, 1263 01:11:22,160 --> 01:11:23,599 Speaker 1: had some injuries, but you find a way to get 1264 01:11:23,720 --> 01:11:26,559 Speaker 1: him involved. Isaiah Pacheco out of Rutgers. Right, this late 1265 01:11:26,640 --> 01:11:28,479 Speaker 1: round pick, all of a sudden is the running back 1266 01:11:28,560 --> 01:11:32,439 Speaker 1: of the future, getting games that people don't usually get 1267 01:11:32,920 --> 01:11:36,320 Speaker 1: yards after contact, and so it's about those pieces putting 1268 01:11:36,400 --> 01:11:39,719 Speaker 1: them in place that's been the difference. So, yes, Travis 1269 01:11:39,840 --> 01:11:42,720 Speaker 1: Kelsey and Patrick Mahomes, but those bunch of guys are 1270 01:11:42,760 --> 01:11:47,040 Speaker 1: being you know, marionetted by their head coach and Andy 1271 01:11:47,120 --> 01:11:51,240 Speaker 1: Reid and then Sam. I know you're always keeping an 1272 01:11:51,280 --> 01:11:54,080 Speaker 1: eye on your long horns. Don't know if you've noticed, 1273 01:11:54,120 --> 01:11:56,920 Speaker 1: but in a lot of the early mock drafts, the 1274 01:11:57,040 --> 01:11:59,800 Speaker 1: Bills are being mocked by Jean Robinson. Personally, I don't 1275 01:11:59,840 --> 01:12:01,840 Speaker 1: think he's making it all the way down to twenty seven. 1276 01:12:03,360 --> 01:12:09,280 Speaker 1: So there's that, But all in all, what are your 1277 01:12:09,960 --> 01:12:14,719 Speaker 1: thoughts on him and his pro prospects for an NFL career. 1278 01:12:16,720 --> 01:12:19,360 Speaker 1: He's an animal, I mean, like so, I've called a 1279 01:12:19,400 --> 01:12:22,120 Speaker 1: couple of Texas games, not only this year but last year. 1280 01:12:22,760 --> 01:12:25,320 Speaker 1: He and obviously cost Bill Nis. I'm watching all the 1281 01:12:25,360 --> 01:12:30,680 Speaker 1: games he's an animal. This dude has lateral quickness that 1282 01:12:30,920 --> 01:12:33,639 Speaker 1: is unprecedented. I think about like the Saquon Barkley type. 1283 01:12:33,640 --> 01:12:35,160 Speaker 1: What you saw him early in his career and even 1284 01:12:35,200 --> 01:12:37,559 Speaker 1: in Penn State he talked about wanting to be as 1285 01:12:37,600 --> 01:12:39,720 Speaker 1: strong as an ox and he's strong, but he's also quick, 1286 01:12:39,800 --> 01:12:41,679 Speaker 1: quick enough or yeah, he could hit the hole downhill. 1287 01:12:41,760 --> 01:12:43,599 Speaker 1: Sure you want to say, man hit the hole. Then 1288 01:12:43,600 --> 01:12:45,640 Speaker 1: all of a sudden you see him cut latterly and 1289 01:12:45,720 --> 01:12:47,400 Speaker 1: make a bigger play than he would have made if 1290 01:12:47,400 --> 01:12:49,120 Speaker 1: he hit the hole. And so you see him have 1291 01:12:49,280 --> 01:12:52,160 Speaker 1: great straight line speed, great lateral quickness, great strength, and 1292 01:12:52,240 --> 01:12:54,280 Speaker 1: big playability to catch the ball out of the backfield 1293 01:12:54,280 --> 01:12:58,160 Speaker 1: as well. So there's no way he's getting to twenty seven, 1294 01:12:58,280 --> 01:13:01,320 Speaker 1: is there. He's he's not getting twenty seven. If he does, 1295 01:13:01,360 --> 01:13:03,080 Speaker 1: will be one of those Aaron Rodgers steels where it's like, 1296 01:13:03,080 --> 01:13:05,160 Speaker 1: how did he go all the way that league? Yeah, 1297 01:13:05,360 --> 01:13:08,720 Speaker 1: that's what I was thinking. Yeah, well, Sam, that's we 1298 01:13:08,800 --> 01:13:10,880 Speaker 1: appreciate you coming on with it.

It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right, 1309 01:13:44,920 --> 01:13:47,040 Speaker 1: welcome back to One Bills Live. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker 1310 01:13:47,080 --> 01:13:49,400 Speaker 1: here on a Thursday. And you know we've been talking 1311 01:13:49,600 --> 01:13:52,000 Speaker 1: at times today about the Super Bowl matchup Steve and 1312 01:13:52,080 --> 01:13:54,200 Speaker 1: how the Eagles had a season with seventy sacks. You 1313 01:13:54,240 --> 01:13:58,280 Speaker 1: know who finished second? Who the Chiefs fifty five sacks 1314 01:13:58,320 --> 01:14:00,800 Speaker 1: on the year. There you go, So it's not like 1315 01:14:00,920 --> 01:14:03,639 Speaker 1: they're a slouch. Yeah, it'll be nice, it'll be well, 1316 01:14:03,680 --> 01:14:06,360 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a spectacle no matter what it's. Uh, 1317 01:14:06,720 --> 01:14:09,960 Speaker 1: it's gonna be fun to be around. Fifty seven. I'm 1318 01:14:12,520 --> 01:14:16,719 Speaker 1: I played in Super Bowl twenty five. It's been minute 1319 01:14:16,800 --> 01:14:23,120 Speaker 1: thirty two years. Yeah, it's a long time, bro. Philadelphia 1320 01:14:23,200 --> 01:14:25,519 Speaker 1: is looking to become the six team to lead the 1321 01:14:25,600 --> 01:14:27,560 Speaker 1: league in sacks and win the Super Bowl in the 1322 01:14:27,720 --> 01:14:33,240 Speaker 1: same season. M Pittsburgh did it a couple of times. 1323 01:14:33,280 --> 01:14:38,720 Speaker 1: Maybe Chicago did it. Yeah, there are a few in there. 1324 01:14:39,240 --> 01:14:42,639 Speaker 1: Maybe Seattle probably did it. Oh, Legion a boom defense. 1325 01:14:42,760 --> 01:14:47,720 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, probably the Ravens in two thousand. So yeah, 1326 01:14:47,760 --> 01:14:50,439 Speaker 1: it's I think people forget that Chiefs were second in 1327 01:14:50,439 --> 01:14:56,640 Speaker 1: the league in sacks with fifty five. Not too shabby. Uh. 1328 01:14:56,800 --> 01:14:59,840 Speaker 1: Final thoughts on the tweet sheet from Jack in terms 1329 01:14:59,880 --> 01:15:02,080 Speaker 1: of of what will be the difference maker in this 1330 01:15:02,240 --> 01:15:05,240 Speaker 1: year's Super Bowl, Jack says, for the Eagles, the difference 1331 01:15:05,280 --> 01:15:06,960 Speaker 1: maker will be their old line. If they can stay 1332 01:15:07,000 --> 01:15:08,680 Speaker 1: on the field and keep fifteen on the bench and 1333 01:15:08,800 --> 01:15:10,920 Speaker 1: create holes for Hurts and the running backs to run 1334 01:15:11,000 --> 01:15:14,240 Speaker 1: through and contain Jones, they'll win. That's a long list. 1335 01:15:14,760 --> 01:15:17,400 Speaker 1: For Ksey, It's Kelsey. How can it not be? No 1336 01:15:17,560 --> 01:15:20,200 Speaker 1: one can cover him. He has seven to eleven always open. 1337 01:15:20,280 --> 01:15:23,360 Speaker 1: If he goes off, the Chiefs win, Well, he's gonna 1338 01:15:23,400 --> 01:15:26,519 Speaker 1: go off. The question is is he is he gonna 1339 01:15:26,520 --> 01:15:29,840 Speaker 1: be enough to do it? Just Kelsey? Well, is he 1340 01:15:29,880 --> 01:15:32,360 Speaker 1: gonna be eleven eight catches for eighty yards or is 1341 01:15:32,360 --> 01:15:35,639 Speaker 1: he gonna be fourteen catches for one eighty Like, right, 1342 01:15:35,760 --> 01:15:37,400 Speaker 1: is he gonna be Well, here's the thing. If he's 1343 01:15:37,400 --> 01:15:41,280 Speaker 1: gonna be eleven catches for eighty yards and two touchdowns, okay? 1344 01:15:42,360 --> 01:15:44,360 Speaker 1: Or is he gonna be like he's he really gonna 1345 01:15:44,360 --> 01:15:46,280 Speaker 1: go off. He's gonna be like twelve catches for two 1346 01:15:46,479 --> 01:15:50,320 Speaker 1: ten three touchdowns. That kind of day you can you 1347 01:15:50,320 --> 01:15:56,560 Speaker 1: can see happening. Yeah, just never know the problem is 1348 01:15:56,640 --> 01:16:00,880 Speaker 1: if the Eagles rush five, Kelsey's gonna have AIAC. Yeah. 1349 01:16:01,000 --> 01:16:03,320 Speaker 1: They don't do that all the time. They pick their spots, 1350 01:16:03,360 --> 01:16:06,439 Speaker 1: but they're effective when they do because one on one, 1351 01:16:08,640 --> 01:16:10,600 Speaker 1: you're five on the old line usually are not as 1352 01:16:10,640 --> 01:16:12,240 Speaker 1: good as they're five on the D line. And that's 1353 01:16:12,240 --> 01:16:13,760 Speaker 1: why they got That's a big reason why they got 1354 01:16:13,800 --> 01:16:16,320 Speaker 1: seventy sacks this year. They just know when to dial 1355 01:16:16,400 --> 01:16:20,080 Speaker 1: it up, and they do. We are going to turn 1356 01:16:20,120 --> 01:16:22,719 Speaker 1: the page on that and do a little NFL true 1357 01:16:22,840 --> 01:16:28,719 Speaker 1: false Steve brought to you by Patron Tequila, the official 1358 01:16:28,760 --> 01:16:34,760 Speaker 1: tequila of the Buffalo Bills. NFL True false. Number one 1359 01:16:36,160 --> 01:16:41,679 Speaker 1: new offensive coordinator Kellen Moore will turn around the Chargers offense. 1360 01:16:42,240 --> 01:16:50,479 Speaker 1: True or false. I will say false. Why, Well, they 1361 01:16:50,560 --> 01:16:54,080 Speaker 1: had really good players this year. Maybe Kellen Moore. Maybe 1362 01:16:54,080 --> 01:16:58,560 Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator was the problem. Maybe I don't think so. 1363 01:16:58,680 --> 01:17:02,040 Speaker 1: I think their problems run deeper. I think he'll struggle 1364 01:17:02,080 --> 01:17:03,599 Speaker 1: to keep those guys on the field. I think they're 1365 01:17:03,600 --> 01:17:07,680 Speaker 1: going to continue to be an injured group, and I 1366 01:17:07,800 --> 01:17:10,080 Speaker 1: think they may take a step backwards before they take 1367 01:17:10,080 --> 01:17:14,439 Speaker 1: a step forward. Chargers were a better total offense than 1368 01:17:14,520 --> 01:17:17,840 Speaker 1: the Cowboys, the team Kellen Moore leaves. Chargers were the 1369 01:17:17,960 --> 01:17:22,000 Speaker 1: ninth total offense in football. Cowboys were eleventh. Cowboys were 1370 01:17:22,000 --> 01:17:24,719 Speaker 1: a far better running football team, which was the achilles 1371 01:17:24,800 --> 01:17:30,760 Speaker 1: heel of the Chargers, thirtieth in rushing passing yards, Chargers 1372 01:17:31,080 --> 01:17:36,520 Speaker 1: were better than Dallas. They were third, while the Cowboys 1373 01:17:36,600 --> 01:17:41,040 Speaker 1: were fourteenth in passing. Then you go down to third 1374 01:17:41,120 --> 01:17:45,280 Speaker 1: down efficiency. Dallas was the better offense there, fifth in 1375 01:17:45,320 --> 01:17:48,360 Speaker 1: the league, and third down conversions the Chargers not too 1376 01:17:48,439 --> 01:17:54,160 Speaker 1: bad eighth, and then points per game. Chargers were thirteenth 1377 01:17:54,240 --> 01:18:00,559 Speaker 1: in the league. Dallas was fourth. It's a tough one 1378 01:18:00,640 --> 01:18:05,000 Speaker 1: for me. I like Kellen Moore a lot. He's got Herbert, 1379 01:18:05,280 --> 01:18:08,240 Speaker 1: who I think is a better overall passer than Dak 1380 01:18:08,320 --> 01:18:12,760 Speaker 1: Prescott doesn't make as many mistakes. I think he's got 1381 01:18:12,800 --> 01:18:18,400 Speaker 1: a better arm than Prescott too. So even if Keenan 1382 01:18:18,479 --> 01:18:22,400 Speaker 1: Allen doesn't come back, because there is talk he could 1383 01:18:22,439 --> 01:18:26,680 Speaker 1: be a cap casualty, I'm gonna say true. I think 1384 01:18:26,760 --> 01:18:30,719 Speaker 1: Kellen Moore can make them a little bit better. They're 1385 01:18:30,760 --> 01:18:36,360 Speaker 1: in a tough division and Brandon Staley's got major coaching 1386 01:18:36,479 --> 01:18:41,759 Speaker 1: matchups there. Because now you've got Sean Payton and Andy 1387 01:18:41,880 --> 01:18:46,479 Speaker 1: Reid that you gotta play twice. Yeah, have fun with that. 1388 01:18:47,720 --> 01:18:49,439 Speaker 1: You're gonna need all the help you can get. They 1389 01:18:49,479 --> 01:18:51,880 Speaker 1: were top ten in total yards a game, they were 1390 01:18:51,960 --> 01:18:56,160 Speaker 1: top five in passing yards a game, and they could 1391 01:18:56,240 --> 01:19:00,720 Speaker 1: not win games. The problem really isn't on that side 1392 01:19:00,760 --> 01:19:02,320 Speaker 1: of the ball all that much. Aside from trying to 1393 01:19:02,400 --> 01:19:05,040 Speaker 1: run the football where they were terrible. It was on 1394 01:19:05,120 --> 01:19:09,160 Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball. Twenty first and points allowed, Yeah, 1395 01:19:09,520 --> 01:19:12,280 Speaker 1: you know, twenty eighth against the run. They still couldn't 1396 01:19:12,280 --> 01:19:14,880 Speaker 1: stop anybody against the run. It's been a problem for 1397 01:19:14,960 --> 01:19:17,920 Speaker 1: them for years. Yeah. I mean they finished second in 1398 01:19:18,040 --> 01:19:20,400 Speaker 1: the division. They won ten games, yeah, and got in 1399 01:19:20,400 --> 01:19:24,640 Speaker 1: the playoffs. I mean they didn't stink right, and you 1400 01:19:24,720 --> 01:19:26,640 Speaker 1: can make that, you're gonna make that argument. I mean 1401 01:19:27,280 --> 01:19:32,000 Speaker 1: that you know they were injured and all that, but 1402 01:19:32,200 --> 01:19:34,160 Speaker 1: you know, that's a that's an ongoing issue. I think 1403 01:19:34,200 --> 01:19:36,640 Speaker 1: that's a systemic issue with them. It's not just a 1404 01:19:37,000 --> 01:19:41,559 Speaker 1: luck of the draw anymore. Right, So, Yeah, I think 1405 01:19:42,760 --> 01:19:46,840 Speaker 1: as good as their roster has been, yeah, I think 1406 01:19:47,040 --> 01:19:49,080 Speaker 1: I think they're going to struggle to keep it going 1407 01:19:49,120 --> 01:19:51,040 Speaker 1: as well as they did this year with ten wins, 1408 01:19:52,240 --> 01:19:54,760 Speaker 1: I don't I think they take a step back next year, right, 1409 01:19:55,200 --> 01:20:02,080 Speaker 1: fair enough? NFL true false Numero dose Texans should acquire 1410 01:20:02,200 --> 01:20:12,960 Speaker 1: quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo with Jamiko Ryan's hired as head coach. Yeah. Sure, 1411 01:20:13,520 --> 01:20:16,519 Speaker 1: if they can't do any better, they gotta get somebody. 1412 01:20:17,280 --> 01:20:24,800 Speaker 1: Why not Jimmy g you know, or car Car has 1413 01:20:24,840 --> 01:20:26,600 Speaker 1: a no trade clause, So I think that might be 1414 01:20:26,640 --> 01:20:30,680 Speaker 1: a little bit more difficult to overcome. Maybe, But it's 1415 01:20:30,680 --> 01:20:33,799 Speaker 1: all about the compensation package and the Raiders. The Raiders 1416 01:20:34,280 --> 01:20:39,840 Speaker 1: agreed to a compensation compensation, a compensation package with New Orleans. 1417 01:20:39,920 --> 01:20:45,439 Speaker 1: That's why Carr got permission to go visit those guys. Obviously, 1418 01:20:45,600 --> 01:20:47,640 Speaker 1: Dave Derek Carr's not going to say, listen, I'll go 1419 01:20:47,760 --> 01:20:49,240 Speaker 1: visit him, but I ain't going there. He'll just say 1420 01:20:49,280 --> 01:20:51,760 Speaker 1: I ain't going there. I ain't going to visit um. 1421 01:20:53,200 --> 01:20:56,000 Speaker 1: So he's up for that. Houston, what will they offer, 1422 01:20:56,080 --> 01:21:01,240 Speaker 1: What would be the the enticement there? You know, there 1423 01:21:01,280 --> 01:21:02,920 Speaker 1: may be a little bit of a connection there because 1424 01:21:03,120 --> 01:21:06,040 Speaker 1: you know, Derek was in Houston with his brother David 1425 01:21:07,160 --> 01:21:10,080 Speaker 1: as a kid when David was the first overall pick 1426 01:21:10,400 --> 01:21:13,599 Speaker 1: and got his clock cleaned by a bad franchise back. 1427 01:21:14,600 --> 01:21:16,920 Speaker 1: So he may want to go back there and have 1428 01:21:17,000 --> 01:21:19,600 Speaker 1: a little redemption there for his family. And maybe you 1429 01:21:19,680 --> 01:21:21,880 Speaker 1: know that's a that's a reach, but I think that's 1430 01:21:21,880 --> 01:21:25,680 Speaker 1: a big reach. But Derek Carr wants to move on 1431 01:21:25,800 --> 01:21:28,160 Speaker 1: and go somewhere where he can win. Presumably that ain't 1432 01:21:28,200 --> 01:21:34,400 Speaker 1: Houston right now. Well maybe that division. Jacksonville is playing 1433 01:21:34,400 --> 01:21:38,400 Speaker 1: pretty good. But you got Houston needs a lot. They 1434 01:21:38,439 --> 01:21:44,760 Speaker 1: got a left tackle, a running back. Brandon Cooks is 1435 01:21:44,800 --> 01:21:49,439 Speaker 1: your best receiver. They need a lot of help. It's 1436 01:21:49,439 --> 01:21:53,400 Speaker 1: gonna be three years before they're really a true contender, 1437 01:21:53,720 --> 01:21:55,439 Speaker 1: have to be. I mean, they're gonna get some They're 1438 01:21:55,479 --> 01:21:58,160 Speaker 1: gonna get some picks in there. They'll you know, they 1439 01:21:58,200 --> 01:21:59,600 Speaker 1: do have a lot of draft cat if they got 1440 01:21:59,680 --> 01:22:01,680 Speaker 1: to hit Derek Carr came in there to visit him 1441 01:22:01,720 --> 01:22:03,400 Speaker 1: and they said, here's what we're thinking about we're gonna 1442 01:22:03,439 --> 01:22:07,320 Speaker 1: get We're gonna target into interior linement and a tackle 1443 01:22:07,439 --> 01:22:09,280 Speaker 1: to play on the right side from our left tackle, 1444 01:22:09,760 --> 01:22:13,080 Speaker 1: and we're gonna protect you, you know, and we're gonna 1445 01:22:13,080 --> 01:22:16,240 Speaker 1: get this run game. Guy. Yeah, why is Garoppolo? The 1446 01:22:16,320 --> 01:22:18,880 Speaker 1: answer here? Is it because of the Nick Casserio connection 1447 01:22:19,000 --> 01:22:20,920 Speaker 1: from their days together back in New England? Is this 1448 01:22:21,160 --> 01:22:26,080 Speaker 1: SiO still there? He's the GM. Yeah, So I could 1449 01:22:26,160 --> 01:22:29,960 Speaker 1: understand why Garoppolo's name might come up, But to me, 1450 01:22:32,920 --> 01:22:35,240 Speaker 1: Jimmy ge only gets it to the Promised Land if 1451 01:22:35,280 --> 01:22:38,120 Speaker 1: you have a multitude of things around him, which San 1452 01:22:38,240 --> 01:22:42,960 Speaker 1: Francisco had, I mean enormous number of playmakers on offense, 1453 01:22:43,479 --> 01:22:46,240 Speaker 1: a top five defense for the last three or five years. 1454 01:22:46,840 --> 01:22:49,519 Speaker 1: I mean that's why Garoppolo got to the NFC title 1455 01:22:49,600 --> 01:22:51,320 Speaker 1: game and won it, went to the Super Bowl and 1456 01:22:51,360 --> 01:22:54,479 Speaker 1: then lost. Because the guy can't get you there. You 1457 01:22:54,640 --> 01:22:57,120 Speaker 1: need to give him a ton of help around him 1458 01:22:57,320 --> 01:23:00,639 Speaker 1: to maximize what he does, which is a facilitation at best. 1459 01:23:01,080 --> 01:23:04,040 Speaker 1: You can't put him on a two win team and 1460 01:23:04,200 --> 01:23:06,679 Speaker 1: say where are you to be better? Now? It ain't 1461 01:23:06,720 --> 01:23:09,960 Speaker 1: gonna happen if the last rookie drafted can come in 1462 01:23:10,320 --> 01:23:12,760 Speaker 1: and play as well as you are. You're not the guy. 1463 01:23:13,680 --> 01:23:16,040 Speaker 1: So I would say, no, Jimmy G does not need 1464 01:23:16,080 --> 01:23:17,679 Speaker 1: to be there. Somebody else needs to be in Houston. 1465 01:23:17,720 --> 01:23:20,040 Speaker 1: They need to. Did I flip you from true to fall? 1466 01:23:20,200 --> 01:23:23,080 Speaker 1: They need to?

AFC Championship Game NFL 1487 01:24:34,560 --> 01:24:38,519 Speaker 1: true false. Number three AFC Championship Game was the best 1488 01:24:38,600 --> 01:24:44,960 Speaker 1: performance of Patrick mahomes career. No false, you say, yeah, false? 1489 01:24:45,400 --> 01:24:49,360 Speaker 1: This guy you mean because of his ankle. Yeah, because 1490 01:24:49,360 --> 01:24:52,160 Speaker 1: of all that he dealt with, you know, no more tyreek, 1491 01:24:52,240 --> 01:24:54,519 Speaker 1: and he wins the AFC title game over the defending 1492 01:24:54,560 --> 01:24:56,599 Speaker 1: AFC champion. It was great. Now, don't get me wrong. 1493 01:24:56,600 --> 01:24:58,160 Speaker 1: He was nice, very nice. He was like, was he 1494 01:24:58,200 --> 01:25:01,360 Speaker 1: over just over four hundred? Right? I don't think he 1495 01:25:01,439 --> 01:25:03,640 Speaker 1: threw for four hundred? Did he? Maybe? Now it was 1496 01:25:03,680 --> 01:25:07,160 Speaker 1: over three hundred? I know, Okay, over three hundred. You know, 1497 01:25:07,240 --> 01:25:09,439 Speaker 1: tooling around on a bad wheel, I get it. But 1498 01:25:09,800 --> 01:25:16,280 Speaker 1: now tootling around nice, I like tootling around the floor 1499 01:25:16,400 --> 01:25:20,720 Speaker 1: of Arrowhead Stadium. No, that was not. No, it may 1500 01:25:20,720 --> 01:25:23,040 Speaker 1: have been one of the most important, but that's to me, 1501 01:25:23,200 --> 01:25:26,880 Speaker 1: is a different thing. You know, any conference championship game, 1502 01:25:26,960 --> 01:25:30,880 Speaker 1: Super Bowl, thing is a is a big performance, especially 1503 01:25:30,920 --> 01:25:32,639 Speaker 1: when he plays well, which he kind of always does. 1504 01:25:33,120 --> 01:25:34,560 Speaker 1: But I you know, you can't put that ahead of 1505 01:25:34,600 --> 01:25:37,760 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl winning performance. Okay, for the performance he 1506 01:25:37,800 --> 01:25:41,080 Speaker 1: put against the Bills on that AFC championship three years ago, 1507 01:25:41,840 --> 01:25:45,559 Speaker 1: So yeah, it's good, he played good, But I've seen 1508 01:25:45,680 --> 01:25:48,559 Speaker 1: him play better than that. Twenty nine of forty three 1509 01:25:48,800 --> 01:25:51,600 Speaker 1: for three hundred and twenty six yards and two touchdowns, 1510 01:25:52,400 --> 01:25:56,559 Speaker 1: no picks. And let me see what was his passer rating? 1511 01:25:56,640 --> 01:26:01,760 Speaker 1: His passer rating was where is it? I can't find 1512 01:26:01,800 --> 01:26:05,280 Speaker 1: it right now? Oh sorry? Rating one oh five point four. 1513 01:26:05,800 --> 01:26:09,240 Speaker 1: That was in the AFC title game. Good day. I 1514 01:26:09,320 --> 01:26:11,680 Speaker 1: think most people would take it. Do you want to 1515 01:26:11,720 --> 01:26:13,360 Speaker 1: know what he was in the AFC or in the 1516 01:26:13,439 --> 01:26:16,439 Speaker 1: AFC Divisional playoff last year against the Bills forty two 1517 01:26:16,520 --> 01:26:20,920 Speaker 1: thirty six overtime game, thirty three of forty four, which 1518 01:26:21,040 --> 01:26:24,720 Speaker 1: is seventy five percent completion, three hundred and seventy eight 1519 01:26:24,840 --> 01:26:29,800 Speaker 1: yards and three touchdowns. Okay, so one twenty three rating 1520 01:26:29,880 --> 01:26:34,880 Speaker 1: hold on the week before that against a Pittsburgh team 1521 01:26:34,920 --> 01:26:39,439 Speaker 1: that crawled into the playoffs. Roethlisberger's last year thirty of 1522 01:26:39,560 --> 01:26:43,600 Speaker 1: thirty nine for four oh four and five touchdowns, he 1523 01:26:43,720 --> 01:26:46,519 Speaker 1: had one pick in the game, one thirty eight rating, 1524 01:26:46,880 --> 01:26:52,479 Speaker 1: averaged ten point three six yards per Oh my gosh. 1525 01:26:54,360 --> 01:26:59,720 Speaker 1: Then you have the twenty twenty one playoffs coming off 1526 01:26:59,760 --> 01:27:03,160 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty season against the Bills in the AFC 1527 01:27:03,360 --> 01:27:07,719 Speaker 1: title game, twenty nine to thirty eight, seventy six percent completion, 1528 01:27:08,080 --> 01:27:11,840 Speaker 1: three twenty five, three touchdowns, no picks, one twenty seven rating. 1529 01:27:12,400 --> 01:27:15,679 Speaker 1: So the so I was right, Oh, you're one hundred 1530 01:27:15,720 --> 01:27:20,880 Speaker 1: percent right. Yeah. In in twenty twenty nineteen, very quickly 1531 01:27:20,960 --> 01:27:24,720 Speaker 1: before we go to break beats Houston fifty one thirty one, 1532 01:27:25,560 --> 01:27:28,240 Speaker 1: twenty three of thirty five for three, twenty one and 1533 01:27:28,400 --> 01:27:33,639 Speaker 1: five tds, no picks, no sacks, one thirty four point 1534 01:27:33,800 --> 01:27:36,800 Speaker 1: six ratings. So I will say falls as well. He's 1535 01:27:36,840 --> 01:27:39,400 Speaker 1: had some good day. He's had a few good days 1536 01:27:39,439 --> 01:27:42,240 Speaker 1: at just a few. That is NFL true. Falls brought 1537 01:27:42,280 --> 01:27:46,080 Speaker 1: to you by Patron Tequila, the official tequila of the 1538 01:27:46,120 --> 01:27:48,240 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. Break time for us, Steve and I close 1539 01:27:48,280 --> 01:27:49,960 Speaker 1: it up next year on One Bill's Live. Stay tuned. 1540 01:28:00,320 --> 01:28:02,840 Speaker 1: All right, So, Steve, it is the trade deadline day 1541 01:28:02,840 --> 01:28:05,439 Speaker 1: in the NBA, and it has been people have gone 1542 01:28:05,479 --> 01:28:09,200 Speaker 1: cuckoo for Coco puffs and the currency that has turned 1543 01:28:09,200 --> 01:28:14,160 Speaker 1: into monopoly money are second round picks. Just eight minutes ago, 1544 01:28:15,600 --> 01:28:20,280 Speaker 1: NBA insider for ESPN Adrian war Janowski said the Blazers 1545 01:28:20,360 --> 01:28:23,880 Speaker 1: are trading Gary Peyton the second to the Warriors for 1546 01:28:24,120 --> 01:28:28,000 Speaker 1: five second round picks. Now, in the NFL, you can 1547 01:28:28,040 --> 01:28:31,280 Speaker 1: only trade draft choices a maximum of three years down 1548 01:28:31,360 --> 01:28:34,240 Speaker 1: the line. In the NBA, there is no such rule, 1549 01:28:34,640 --> 01:28:40,120 Speaker 1: hence the way the Warriors are sending five second round picks. Yeah. 1550 01:28:40,160 --> 01:28:42,479 Speaker 1: People saying second round picks are like the equivalent to 1551 01:28:43,040 --> 01:28:48,640 Speaker 1: FTX coins, you know, bitcoin. Yeah, yeah, they're they're like 1552 01:28:50,040 --> 01:28:55,160 Speaker 1: they're like cryptocurrency, even worse. That's why I said monopoly money. Yeah, 1553 01:28:55,200 --> 01:28:57,519 Speaker 1: they're like the little they're like tokens at a pizza 1554 01:28:57,640 --> 01:29:00,559 Speaker 1: joint where you get prizes at the end. Yeah, yeah, 1555 01:29:01,120 --> 01:29:03,479 Speaker 1: that's what that's what second round picks up. It's nuts. 1556 01:29:03,680 --> 01:29:05,920 Speaker 1: It's I've never seen this much activity. What do we 1557 01:29:06,120 --> 01:29:08,160 Speaker 1: name small names, middle of the road names.
