Buffalo has never 137 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 2: been an underdog in its previous eighteen home playoff games 138 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 2: since entering the NFL in nineteen seventy. 139 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 3: That's according to ESPN Stats and. 140 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 1: Infra it Just. It's a tip of the cap to 141 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 1: the Ravens. 142 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 3: Yep. 143 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 1: I mean it doesn't say as much about Buffalo as 144 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 1: it does about the Ravens. 145 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 2: I think the game opened as the Bills is the one, 146 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 2: and then. 147 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 1: I think when it came out right away, but I 148 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 1: think it's there's no question. I mean, Bills fans have 149 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 1: got a ton of respect for this team coming in. 150 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 1: They're one of the few teams that really took the 151 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 1: Bills of the woodshed. The Bills have been beaten, you know, 152 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 1: obviously had four losses this year, and and but when 153 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 1: you know, usually when and we've seen it over they 154 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 1: had a run of forty three games coming into this 155 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 1: year that the Baltimore Ravens ended of never getting beat 156 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: by more than one pore. And Baltimore did it in 157 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 1: a big way, brought big that one. So Bill's fans 158 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 1: have a healthy respect for what the Ravens were able 159 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 1: to do, particularly offensively with Henry and and Lamar. I mean, 160 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 1: everybody know, I mean we're talking here, we're a in 161 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 1: a they're on a Bill's rating. Everybody knows this, but 162 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 1: that's where we're sitting today, and that's why that number 163 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 1: is what it is. Bill's there's a lot of people going, yeah, 164 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 1: I kind of get it, you know. 165 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, they're good. 166 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 1: I'm ry. 167 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 2: Bills are number two in red zone touchdown efficiency on offense. 168 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 3: Ravens are number one. 169 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 2: Bill score touchdowns almost seventy two percent of the time 170 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,200 Speaker 2: when they get to the red zone, the Ravens do 171 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 2: it almost seventy five percent of the time. 172 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 1: So, and I'll say this too, they're one and a 173 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 1: lot of get back is because they they do it 174 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,080 Speaker 1: the same way. They got a quarterback that can be 175 00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:58,719 Speaker 1: a threat in the run game and when you get 176 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 1: down the red zone, that's big difference maker. Oh yeah, 177 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 1: a big difference maker. And it shows in the stats. 178 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 3: Yes. 179 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:13,880 Speaker 2: And incidentally, our podcast builds by the numbers. This week 180 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 2: we will dive headlong into how and where these two 181 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 2: teams have changed the most, So be sure to look 182 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 2: keep an eye out for that. It'll be out on 183 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 2: Thursday as we head into the weekend for this big 184 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:30,960 Speaker 2: divisional playoff matchup. Let's Go Around the NFL presented by 185 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 2: Kalida Health, the official healthcare system of the Buffalo Bills, 186 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,200 Speaker 2: and the final game of wild Card Weekend went to 187 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 2: the home team despite playing in a neutral site, in 188 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 2: Arizona as the Rams handed it to the Vikings twenty 189 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 2: seven to nine. Minnesota finished a fourteen and three season 190 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:52,079 Speaker 2: with a fizzle. Really disappointing performances from Sam Darnold the 191 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,480 Speaker 2: past two weeks against the Lions and then the Rams, 192 00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 2: although his offensive line didn't really help him a whole 193 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 2: lot with this Rams defense. 194 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,439 Speaker 3: Front, they had nine sacks in the game. 195 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 1: He was holding the ball a long time too, so 196 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,959 Speaker 1: the coverage was really there, But no doubt about it, 197 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 1: that is not indicative of where we've seen the Vikings 198 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 1: be all season. And if you're sitting there thinking too, 199 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,080 Speaker 1: think about Detroit. They just I mean, this is to 200 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 1: fourteen for the first time in NFL history, had two 201 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 1: fourteen win teams going at it big game in the 202 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 1: same division, in the same regular season game. And now 203 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:38,960 Speaker 1: two weeks later, Minnesota's home. It's all over. Yeah, it's 204 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 1: all over. 205 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 3: Won fourteen games, fourteen. 206 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 1: Games, it's done. That stinks. 207 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 3: That's awful. 208 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. And now you got Darnold sitting there, 209 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 1: who had read, as we all know, resurrected his career. 210 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:51,960 Speaker 1: What do you think happens? 211 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 3: Do you think he's the Minnesota He'll be a free agent. 212 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,440 Speaker 1: Do you think he'll be Minnesota's Vikings quarterback next year? 213 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 3: I think it's fifty fifth. 214 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 1: No, I think he will be. 215 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 4: He do. 216 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,720 Speaker 3: He's never looked as good as he has with Kevin O'Connell. 217 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:07,200 Speaker 1: There's that, and he knows that. 218 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,559 Speaker 3: He should know. He should know that, and he should 219 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:10,520 Speaker 3: know the value of it. 220 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:14,840 Speaker 1: He doesn't. His agent should yea, So he should know that. 221 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 1: Number two, The Vikings have got JJ McCarthy on the bench, 222 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 1: no question about it. Might be a guy, might be 223 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 1: a stud, don't know, coming off a big knee injury though, right, 224 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,680 Speaker 1: And you have the option, if you're in Minnesota to 225 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:33,840 Speaker 1: franchise him. So the franchise tag. Darnal'll be twenty eight 226 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 1: through this next season, or he'll be twenty nine this 227 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:38,480 Speaker 1: next season. 228 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 2: So he's twenty seven now, okay, twenty eight, So it'll 229 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:42,680 Speaker 2: turn twenty eight. 230 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,440 Speaker 1: This year, so he's he's gonna have a chance to 231 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 1: make I don't know what the what the franchise tag 232 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 1: is for a quarterback. I'll look that up real quick. 233 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 1: But he's gonna make, say, fifty million bucks for one 234 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:54,960 Speaker 1: year and then become a free agent again or gets 235 00:11:55,000 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 1: franchised again, it's the Kurk Cousins business model. And I 236 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 1: don't if I'm Sam Donald, do you not you sign 237 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,680 Speaker 1: the deal? You sign the franchise tag, don't you? 238 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:12,200 Speaker 3: Well? 239 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 2: I mean I would expect Minnesota if they do want 240 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 2: Donald to I don't know, maybe they commit to him 241 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:23,200 Speaker 2: for longer than that. Let's not forget there's there's some 242 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 2: scar tissue from quarterback injuries. Teddy Bridgewater's career was effectively 243 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 2: over after a bad knee injury when he was the 244 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,959 Speaker 2: quarterback in Minnesota, and he was never the same. So 245 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:37,600 Speaker 2: how skittish does the JJ McCarthy injury make them about 246 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 2: his future? I mean, if they're going on past history 247 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 2: with the way the Teddy Bridgewater thing went, they might 248 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 2: be like, can we get Donald locked up here for 249 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 2: a couple of years not just one? 250 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 1: I'll say this now, the franchise tag. What do you 251 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 1: think the franchise tag is for quarterbacks? 252 00:12:58,160 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 3: I don't know. I haven't done that a ceculate. 253 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 1: I gotta say, I'm surprised it's thirty nine million. 254 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's gonna go up with the with the 255 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:08,480 Speaker 2: salaries from this year, maybe, I mean two is fifty 256 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,960 Speaker 2: three burrows at fifty five. 257 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:12,679 Speaker 1: It's the average at the top five. 258 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, so it's gonna go up. 259 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 1: It's got a ways to go. Thirty nine million is 260 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:23,679 Speaker 1: not that I mean it's. 261 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,960 Speaker 2: A lot, Yeah, but Burrow wasn't on the books, Tua 262 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:27,120 Speaker 2: wasn't on the books. Who else signed in this. 263 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:31,080 Speaker 1: Mar didn't Lamarson? He signed before last year. Yeah, he's 264 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:34,760 Speaker 1: making forty four, isn't he? Yeah? How can it be 265 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 1: thirty nine? Who's on this? 266 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 3: Yeah? 267 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 2: So there's a lot of guys that are over the 268 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 2: fifty million dollar barrier that are not on, that are 269 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 2: not in that calculation that will be this year. 270 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 1: So huh. 271 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 2: I mean you were at a fourteen win season. Now 272 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:52,960 Speaker 2: they have a lot of free agents. I think their 273 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:56,319 Speaker 2: top three corners are all free agents. So that roster 274 00:13:56,400 --> 00:14:00,160 Speaker 2: could change considerably from one season to the next. But 275 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:05,320 Speaker 2: I'm very interested to see how Ziggi Wilf, the owner 276 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:10,800 Speaker 2: and the front office, treats this roster. Like, do they feel, hey, 277 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 2: we won fourteen games, we just fizzled at the end, 278 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,200 Speaker 2: but we're closed. Let's keep it all together as best 279 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 2: we can that includes Darnald Or do they say, well 280 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 2: we tried, let's just start a new era. 281 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 3: With JJ McCarthy and go from here. I can't see 282 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 3: them doing that. 283 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 1: Fourteen is a big number, yeah, and they I don't 284 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 1: think you just tossed that on this guy. That guy 285 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:34,960 Speaker 1: stunk in the last two games. Yes, you gotta find 286 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:38,200 Speaker 1: out why, if you can fix it, if you should 287 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 1: have fixed it coming in, or if you need to 288 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,080 Speaker 1: get better someplace else, like in your offensive line, whatever. 289 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 1: But fourteen wins is you don't throw that to the curve. 290 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 2: I don't think you do, especially when you don't know 291 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 2: what you have yet. And JJ McCarthy, that's right. 292 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 1: You got to franchise and darnald hope that he signs it, 293 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 1: because if he doesn't sign it. 294 00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 3: Oh, someone will pay him. 295 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, there's enough teams out there for a better quarterback 296 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 2: answer than what they have right now. 297 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 1: Sure Vegas is lunacy enough to do that. 298 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 3: Well, let's see, you know, let's see. 299 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. Oh he needs one, right. 300 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 3: That is true. 301 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 1: So I'm you've got to franchise him, hope he signs it, 302 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 1: and run it back when at least you got that 303 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 1: that's nailed down, you know. Yeah, and you gotta think 304 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 1: you can do a little bit more with him this 305 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 1: year coming back second year, let's go this is he's 306 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:27,760 Speaker 1: only been there year. 307 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, So yeah, I think that's fair. Look at what 308 00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 2: Lamar did in the second year of his offense with 309 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:35,480 Speaker 2: Todd Monkin, right, you know what I mean. I'm not 310 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 2: saying Sam Lamar Jackson, but my point is. 311 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,000 Speaker 1: He's grow He was good in his first year. 312 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,040 Speaker 2: Logic says he should be even more effective with better 313 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:45,560 Speaker 2: command of that offense in a year two. 314 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,280 Speaker 1: That's the idea. So I'm yeah, I think Darnald is 315 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:54,160 Speaker 1: gonna be there in Minnesota next year. I'll be well shocked. 316 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 1: I'm taking a lot to shock, maybe because we've seen 317 00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 1: it so many times, so, but I would. 318 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,960 Speaker 2: It's an interesting debate. Yeah, in terms of franchise tag 319 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 2: or long term, dear. 320 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 1: I think for sure you'd you'd you franchise him. You 321 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 1: don't bring him long term, no way. 322 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,080 Speaker 2: Not even as not even a bridge contract like two 323 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 2: years with an option for a. 324 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 1: Third, just franchising. Do that next year, I guess. 325 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 2: Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, a day after parting ways 326 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 2: with head coach Mike McCarthy, gave a former player of 327 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 2: his a call in Dion Sanders. 328 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 3: The head coach at Colorado. 329 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,400 Speaker 2: Sanders was asked about the conversation by ESPN and said, 330 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:36,400 Speaker 2: quote to hear from Jerry Jones is truly delightful and 331 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 2: it's intriguing. 332 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 3: I love Jerry. I believe in Jerry. 333 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 2: After you hang up and process it and think about it, 334 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,600 Speaker 2: it's intriguing. But I love Boulder and everything there is 335 00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:48,880 Speaker 2: about our team, the coaches, our student body and the community. 336 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:52,200 Speaker 2: You want to talk about straddling the fence there, Holy cow, Dion, 337 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 2: do you have a wedgie? I mean, you couldn't have 338 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 2: played both sides of that any better. 339 00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, he slipped. I think that right there is he's 340 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,439 Speaker 1: staying at Colorado. He's not going to Dallas there in 341 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,000 Speaker 1: no way, not with that what was just said there. 342 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 3: I still he straddled defense with the answer. 343 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:16,160 Speaker 1: Though he straddled defense because he's leveraging both sides. He thinks, well, 344 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,520 Speaker 1: he may know for sure he's not going to Dallas 345 00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:22,719 Speaker 1: right now. And he still talk like that. You know, 346 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 1: it pumps up his well, it pumps up the idea 347 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 1: that he's a hot commodity as a coach right now. Still. 348 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:37,239 Speaker 2: Yeah, and he is coaching in the NFL is a 349 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 2: lot harder, And I don't know that Dion's approach would 350 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:43,360 Speaker 2: work as well in the pro game as it does 351 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:44,240 Speaker 2: in the college. 352 00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:44,760 Speaker 3: I don't know. 353 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,760 Speaker 1: I think it might work even better. Why because he 354 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:49,520 Speaker 1: treats college players like pros. 355 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 2: Well, college football is pro football from the standpoint of 356 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:57,920 Speaker 2: how people are paid. But if you're a great recruiter 357 00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 2: in college, you could have a vastly better team then 358 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 2: about eighty percent of the teams in college football. 359 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:04,919 Speaker 3: That does not happen in the NFL. 360 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,120 Speaker 1: I will say this, I think that is a little 361 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,679 Speaker 1: bit of an outdated way to think about it. I 362 00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:14,160 Speaker 1: think recruiting is out the window in the way recruiting 363 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:18,520 Speaker 1: is free agent recruiting is numbers. That's it. It doesn't 364 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 1: matter if they like your weight room, It doesn't matter 365 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,879 Speaker 1: if they like your how muchmus I don't care how much. 366 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:27,679 Speaker 1: I don't care. If you've got an economics degree that's respected, 367 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 1: who cares. What's the number that's recruiting these days? That's it. 368 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:37,439 Speaker 1: So that in and of itself, is it's even a 369 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,720 Speaker 1: step further into the free market than the NFL is 370 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 1: right now. Because nobody's got your rights. Nobody's got your rights. 371 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:50,920 Speaker 1: You're free agent all the time. So it's recruiting is 372 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,119 Speaker 1: the way it was done back in the day is 373 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:57,200 Speaker 1: completely out the window. It's what's the number? Okay, I'll 374 00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 1: be there tomorrow, you know. So I think Eon in 375 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:05,760 Speaker 1: some ways would be better suited as a pro coach because, 376 00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:08,160 Speaker 1: first of all, even I can tell you right now, 377 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:13,159 Speaker 1: the guy is off the charts, respected by players past, present, 378 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:17,159 Speaker 1: and maybe future. But past and present guys know Dion 379 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 1: and respect him. He's really smart. Someday he's going to 380 00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:27,200 Speaker 1: get a shot. And I think Jerry Jones is sitting 381 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:28,800 Speaker 1: back there going, am I do I want to be 382 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:34,479 Speaker 1: the first one? Never? I'm telling you, don't bet against 383 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,239 Speaker 1: that guy. He's really smart and he works hard at it. 384 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:38,439 Speaker 1: And he's going to. 385 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:42,280 Speaker 2: Have to get two three really good coordinators, oh for sure, 386 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 2: because Dion is not an excess. 387 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:44,800 Speaker 3: And this guy he's a leader. 388 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,960 Speaker 1: That's right, You are exactly right. That's right. That's leader. 389 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:50,520 Speaker 1: That's his gift. Well think about this though. I'll give 390 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:52,480 Speaker 1: you an example. There's guys in the NFL like that. 391 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:56,480 Speaker 1: One's coming into town this weekend. John Harvard, he was 392 00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,639 Speaker 1: a special teams coach, went right to the head coaching job. 393 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:04,280 Speaker 3: How about the Andy Reid coaching tree looking pretty good 394 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:04,720 Speaker 3: right now? 395 00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:09,879 Speaker 2: Yeah, Yes, Harbaugh, McDermott, read all still in the playoffs 396 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:11,320 Speaker 2: on the a FC side of the ledger. 397 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 3: Is there anybody on the NFC side from his tree? 398 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:16,399 Speaker 1: I couldn't. 399 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,360 Speaker 3: I don't know if I could tell not McVeigh. McVeigh 400 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,200 Speaker 3: is not. He's from the Shanahan tree. 401 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:23,080 Speaker 1: There's Yeah, there's only a few the Reed tree in 402 00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,960 Speaker 1: the Shanahan tree. That's right, because. 403 00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:29,600 Speaker 2: Yesterday's game was two from the from the Shanahanan tree 404 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:31,080 Speaker 2: and O'Connell and McVeigh. 405 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:35,240 Speaker 1: The Green Bay was the Shanahan tree. Yeah, right? What 406 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,480 Speaker 1: about the Home Home Grun Was he in the Shanahan 407 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 1: thing or was he? 408 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:38,879 Speaker 4: No? 409 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 2: No, he's from the Bill Walls tree, which is essentially 410 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 2: and the Red tree is essentially a branch off the 411 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,399 Speaker 2: Walls because Reed is off the Walls tree. 412 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:51,440 Speaker 1: So yeah, I don't. Yeah, what's Minnesota? Minnesota? Is the 413 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:54,199 Speaker 1: Shanahan tree too, right or is it? Yeah? Because of 414 00:20:54,520 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 1: McVeigh correct, So yeah, that Todd buy is the only 415 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:04,119 Speaker 1: guy and Sirianni are the only ones that kind of 416 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:08,399 Speaker 1: stand alone. But it's I think a lot of it 417 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 1: has to do also with the generation of the best 418 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 1: coach of a generation brings guys along with him and 419 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,399 Speaker 1: then for a whole generation, you're scat. You've got them 420 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,439 Speaker 1: all over the league, right, That's where it was with Walsh, 421 00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:23,359 Speaker 1: That's where it was with Parcels. That's the way. You know, 422 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,920 Speaker 1: it's the way it works. And you know, we're kind 423 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:30,440 Speaker 1: of in that era of the Andy Reid, Mike Shanahan, Tree, 424 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:37,480 Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan and all of that. But I and I'm 425 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,640 Speaker 1: intrigued by who's gonna get because we've had some guys 426 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:41,959 Speaker 1: you have a shot, and now they didn't work out 427 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:45,439 Speaker 1: another coming back, you know, advance Joseph's of the world 428 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:50,199 Speaker 1: and Todd Bowles got a second shot. Robert salom might 429 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:50,960 Speaker 1: get recycled. 430 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll get to that in just a second. 431 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:58,119 Speaker 2: Here, because here is your coaching position updates and front 432 00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 2: office position updates. Bucks Assistant GM John spy Tech scheduled 433 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:05,520 Speaker 2: to interview for a second time this week for the Raiders' 434 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:08,880 Speaker 2: general manager's job. Many believe he's the favorite to become 435 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 2: the new GM for the Raiders because he's a former 436 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:14,159 Speaker 2: college teammate of Tom Brady at Michigan. Spy Tech was 437 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,639 Speaker 2: a linebacker there, so Brady weighing in heavily now is 438 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,720 Speaker 2: minority owner of the Raiders. The Raiders have also requested 439 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 2: to interview Packers VP of Player Personnel John Eric Sullivan. 440 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 2: The Jets are expected to virtually interview Brian Flores and 441 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 2: Josh McCown, both from the Viking staff now that the 442 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 2: Vikings have lost. They could interview them in person if 443 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:38,399 Speaker 2: they want to wait until next Monday, but that's probably unlikely. 444 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,480 Speaker 2: The Jets also requested an interview with Commanders defensive coordinator 445 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:46,000 Speaker 2: Joe Whitt Junior for their head coaching job. Tennessee Titans 446 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,680 Speaker 2: will conduct a second interview with chiefs Assistant GM Mike 447 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 2: Borganzi that will take place tomorrow. According to reports, Berganzi 448 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:56,000 Speaker 2: is a strong candidate for the Jets job as well. 449 00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:00,240 Speaker 2: The Atlanta Falcons interviewing Michigan defensive coordinator and long time 450 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,919 Speaker 2: NFL coach Wink Martindale for their vacant DC job, and 451 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 2: the Jacksonville Jaguars have announced that they have completed a 452 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:10,920 Speaker 2: head coaching interview with Fire Jets head coach Robert Salim. 453 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 2: So that's kind of the look around the coaching carousel 454 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:18,000 Speaker 2: and interviews that could be or have taken place topic 455 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 2: of discussion for you today to talk Bills with us. 456 00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:26,720 Speaker 2: Have the Bills changed enough from their last matchup in 457 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 2: Week four to beat the Ravens this time around? And 458 00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:33,280 Speaker 2: tell us why eight oh three oh five point fifty 459 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,639 Speaker 2: one eighty eight five fifty two, five point fifty those 460 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:39,359 Speaker 2: are the numbers to jump on board with us. And 461 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:41,439 Speaker 2: we do have some open lines for you. But we 462 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:43,760 Speaker 2: lead off today with Butcher on the east side. What 463 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:44,320 Speaker 2: do you got for us? 464 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:44,560 Speaker 5: Butch? 465 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:49,920 Speaker 6: Now, first of all, it is so good to talk 466 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,240 Speaker 6: to you guys. I love them as gee, I love 467 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:54,399 Speaker 6: w during the fans. I definitely love you. You get right 468 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:57,560 Speaker 6: to it. Number one in the offensive side of the ball, Yes, 469 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:01,439 Speaker 6: we do have. You're better off, more tore, more season 470 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,160 Speaker 6: than you were when we played Baltimore the last time. 471 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,000 Speaker 6: I just asked Joe Brady and Steve Chris. You know 472 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,200 Speaker 6: we've been speaking about this and he has done it, 473 00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:11,399 Speaker 6: especially late in the season. That's shown us the screen 474 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:14,159 Speaker 6: game with the Backs more than he did before in 475 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:15,440 Speaker 6: the beginning of the year. That's why I say the 476 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,160 Speaker 6: more season, I would use that. At the same time, 477 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:20,240 Speaker 6: I would go back to when Jim Kelly sat down 478 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:25,399 Speaker 6: with Josh Allen along with Joe Brady in the beginning 479 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:27,440 Speaker 6: of the year and showed them the K gun, I 480 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 6: would speed up a little bit, get the little temple going, 481 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:31,560 Speaker 6: keep him on the balance, you know what I mean, 482 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:33,680 Speaker 6: give them going over. The more points we put on them, 483 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:35,479 Speaker 6: the more they get that running game is gonna give 484 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 6: the minutes. Now deepest the side of the ball. You know, 485 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,080 Speaker 6: I'm gonna speak about the base package of a four 486 00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:44,000 Speaker 6: to three. But at the same time, Steve and Chris 487 00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:47,120 Speaker 6: I spoke about this. I don't know early in the year, 488 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 6: it's like preseason. I think it was something like that. 489 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:51,160 Speaker 6: I say, it's a five two backs, it's a five 490 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,760 Speaker 6: two package. You run the five two four on them. 491 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:55,960 Speaker 6: You know this way, you got five deepens, wind the 492 00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,440 Speaker 6: two linebackers, and you got your safety strong safety, two 493 00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:01,080 Speaker 6: corners the five pack. Because it's there with what we 494 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,320 Speaker 6: had with three D tackles, we could kick move so 495 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:05,680 Speaker 6: inside as a D tackle and you got you got 496 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:07,760 Speaker 6: a Japanez and you've got Vaughn on the other side 497 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,879 Speaker 6: along which other two detackers can help that and push 498 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,160 Speaker 6: that last but not Lisa, I thank you so much 499 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,639 Speaker 6: for taking my call. I want to piggyback on something 500 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:18,600 Speaker 6: you just speaking about. As far as the Dallas Cowboys 501 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,000 Speaker 6: and as far as a coaching careself, real fast, I 502 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,919 Speaker 6: believe it's two package deals out there. Two package deals 503 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,440 Speaker 6: is number one. I really be personally, i'na be personally. 504 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,600 Speaker 6: I believe that Brian Gaines Joe Braden package is automatically 505 00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:31,560 Speaker 6: going to the Jets with the Joe Shane and the 506 00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 6: Brian Davis. That's gonna be the tree for my guy, 507 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,040 Speaker 6: Sean McDermott. His tree is gonna be in New York 508 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,440 Speaker 6: City because Buffo plays in New York State. I really 509 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,000 Speaker 6: believe that's gonna be. That's solidified. Now as far as 510 00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:44,080 Speaker 6: Dallas go, I really believe this. 511 00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:45,040 Speaker 7: I believe. 512 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:48,240 Speaker 6: I believe Deon Sands spoke to Jerry Johnson. Jerry, listen. 513 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 6: In order for me to take this position, you're gonna 514 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:52,280 Speaker 6: have to back up off as a GM and go 515 00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:54,720 Speaker 6: back just being a president owner. I can see Lewis 516 00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,879 Speaker 6: Riddick and and and Louis Ridick and and and and 517 00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,439 Speaker 6: Deon Sands being attacker still going to Dalla. But I 518 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:02,440 Speaker 6: love you, guys, and thanks so much to taking my call. 519 00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:06,719 Speaker 2: All right, interesting, butch we'll see if those come to fruition. 520 00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:11,880 Speaker 2: There are some guys considered odds on favorites the Jets 521 00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:15,720 Speaker 2: supposedly want chiefs Assistant GM Mike Borganzi. 522 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:17,480 Speaker 3: He's I think he's going to be in. 523 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,200 Speaker 2: Demand in other places too, and most notably Tennessee, where 524 00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,119 Speaker 2: he's going to be taking a second interview this week. 525 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:23,879 Speaker 3: We'll see what happens there. 526 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:29,720 Speaker 2: And look, those are two teams that are at the 527 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:35,520 Speaker 2: bottom and have to be built up, and a GM 528 00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:37,919 Speaker 2: may look less at the roster. 529 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:39,719 Speaker 3: And more at the owner he has to work with. 530 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:42,000 Speaker 3: Just in deciding which job you take. 531 00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:44,639 Speaker 2: Are you going to have a meddling owner that's going 532 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:46,800 Speaker 2: to be in your ear every single day asking you, well, 533 00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:48,240 Speaker 2: why did you do this? And why did you do that? 534 00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:49,719 Speaker 2: And I think you should do this. This guy has 535 00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:51,719 Speaker 2: a higher Madden rating. You should sign that guy. Like, 536 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:53,879 Speaker 2: if that's the owner you're going to have, you're probably 537 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 2: not going there because do you want to deal with 538 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,800 Speaker 2: that every single day? Well, you need to trust me 539 00:26:57,840 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 2: that I can make the right decisions for your franchise. 540 00:26:59,920 --> 00:27:01,480 Speaker 2: You don't trust me, I'm not working for you. 541 00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:08,840 Speaker 1: That's right. You can either make that decision or take 542 00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:10,960 Speaker 1: the seven million dollars a year on a five year 543 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:16,639 Speaker 1: deal and do it, or you can go back to 544 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:20,160 Speaker 1: be making one million dollars a year as a coordinator 545 00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:23,160 Speaker 1: or whatever. So it's it's a financial deal, and there's 546 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:24,800 Speaker 1: only thirty two of those jobs and you want a 547 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:27,640 Speaker 1: shot at it, and that's the thing. But that's you're 548 00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:31,320 Speaker 1: going to deal with that in every team, and owners 549 00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,840 Speaker 1: get involved because they've got to hold their employees accountable. 550 00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:36,960 Speaker 1: They're not just going to turn those guys. Nobody just 551 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,400 Speaker 1: turns a guy loose over a two or five billion 552 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:43,320 Speaker 1: dollar entity and says, do what you want. They're not 553 00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:47,120 Speaker 1: going to do that. So that relationship is always there, 554 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:50,200 Speaker 1: even in Buffalo and even in Green Bay where you've 555 00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:55,679 Speaker 1: got a committee, you've got to deal with it. So 556 00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:02,640 Speaker 1: that's part of the job. In some places it seems 557 00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:05,600 Speaker 1: more difficult than others, no question about it. 558 00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:05,840 Speaker 4: Though. 559 00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:08,240 Speaker 2: What do you think of a five to two front 560 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:12,840 Speaker 2: against Baltimore's run game? Yeah, which incidentally has started to 561 00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:14,639 Speaker 2: use a jumbo package just like the Bills do. 562 00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:18,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll say this, whatever, No, they got a plan 563 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:20,000 Speaker 1: for that. If they want to put bigger bodies on 564 00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:22,360 Speaker 1: the field. They can do that. Sure, they can put 565 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:25,640 Speaker 1: bigger bodies on the field. They're not going to change 566 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:27,840 Speaker 1: too much about what they do and what got them here. 567 00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:33,520 Speaker 1: And if you can't, if you can't beat them playing 568 00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:37,000 Speaker 1: your best in the defense that you're trained to play in, 569 00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:39,560 Speaker 1: you're not going to beat them with tricks. 570 00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,000 Speaker 2: Are you saying you're gonna put the Nickel package out 571 00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:43,360 Speaker 2: there against that offensive front? 572 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:44,160 Speaker 3: No jumbo? 573 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:47,840 Speaker 1: No, no, well, against jumbo, of course not when they 574 00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:50,920 Speaker 1: when they bring in a specialized package, you match it. Yeah, 575 00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:51,680 Speaker 1: of course. 576 00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:53,160 Speaker 3: So what do you think about they do that. 577 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,520 Speaker 1: They'll do that now, I mean a specialized package with six, 578 00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 1: you know, seven three hundred pounders. Yeah, you're going to 579 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,280 Speaker 1: match that for sure. Yeah, for sure, because you're not 580 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:04,840 Speaker 1: worried about And maybe it is five to two and 581 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:07,200 Speaker 1: maybe or maybe it's just four to three. It could 582 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 1: be sixty three six three to two. 583 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:13,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, throw it, let me Dary to throw it. Let's 584 00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:13,920 Speaker 3: see what happens. 585 00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,520 Speaker 1: You throw it to piccard. See if he can see 586 00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:19,000 Speaker 1: if he can run around card? See see if your 587 00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:23,920 Speaker 1: card can get open with Matt Malana on him or 588 00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:27,880 Speaker 1: with Greg Russeau on him. Yeah, you know, or whatever Yeah, 589 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,120 Speaker 1: you'll match up personnel with personnel. They've always done The 590 00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 1: Bills have always done that in certain situations, even when 591 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,680 Speaker 1: though their base is is nickel. If they're going to 592 00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:39,560 Speaker 1: throw nineteen three hundred pounders out there, the Bills would 593 00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:41,680 Speaker 1: match that, no question about it. And they'll have a 594 00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,840 Speaker 1: plan for that. Yeah. But if you're here's the here's 595 00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:48,120 Speaker 1: and here's the thing, and the Ravens know this. If 596 00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:52,880 Speaker 1: plan A doesn't work, plan B has to work, right, 597 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:55,400 Speaker 1: you have to do something. 598 00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:57,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, gotta take a break. 599 00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:00,000 Speaker 2: Here more of your phone calls when we come back 600 00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:02,560 Speaker 2: here on a Tuesday edition of One Bills Live.

My thing is is that you know, 623 00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:25,240 Speaker 8: we have an opportunity here to finally make it to 624 00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:29,000 Speaker 8: the big game. You know, I think we need to 625 00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:34,040 Speaker 8: change a little different philosophy on the defense. I would 626 00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:37,640 Speaker 8: love to see if the Bills would take a chance 627 00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:44,880 Speaker 8: Babby Bobbage put in j Epineza as a third linebacker. 628 00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:50,320 Speaker 8: He's got the size that we need to stop Henry. 629 00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:53,920 Speaker 8: If we don't stop Henry in the beginning of the game, 630 00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:59,520 Speaker 8: we're gonna have problems. And you know I'm gonna let 631 00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:03,520 Speaker 8: that go with that. Uh, And you know, just let 632 00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:05,320 Speaker 8: me know what you think about that. 633 00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:08,719 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, the only way I would use him 634 00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:11,640 Speaker 2: as a linebacker is is if he's an overhang guy 635 00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:15,000 Speaker 2: on the line of scrimmage. He cannot play off the ball. 636 00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:17,280 Speaker 2: He's got to be on the line of scrimmage. If 637 00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:19,880 Speaker 2: you want to use him as an overhang player something 638 00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:22,560 Speaker 2: like that, then that I would listen to anything short 639 00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:22,760 Speaker 2: of that. 640 00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:28,120 Speaker 1: No, right, it's not that it's not the time to 641 00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:34,200 Speaker 1: change your spots. Yeah, so you can add a package 642 00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:35,760 Speaker 1: and you can do that. You know, you can do 643 00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:38,680 Speaker 1: some stuff, but you're not gonna have a guy change 644 00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:42,360 Speaker 1: into a different position, uh in one week in order 645 00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:46,840 Speaker 1: to because you're afraid they're they're too big and strong 646 00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:52,880 Speaker 1: for you. They have a really formidable run game, no 647 00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:57,800 Speaker 1: question about it. The Bills are gonna have to use 648 00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:01,080 Speaker 1: the recipe they have to beat the Baltimore Ravens, and 649 00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:03,880 Speaker 1: that includes their defense and defensive front, the front seven, 650 00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:07,640 Speaker 1: front eight, front nine, whatever it takes, and their offense 651 00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:12,200 Speaker 1: and their special teams. So they're not gonna they're not 652 00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:17,760 Speaker 1: going to transform themselves into a different group just by 653 00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:19,800 Speaker 1: having a guy take his hand off the ground back 654 00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:23,040 Speaker 1: up three yards. That's not gonna happen. So if you 655 00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:26,160 Speaker 1: still get still only get eleven guys to play defense, 656 00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:29,600 Speaker 1: let guys who know what they're doing play the positions. 657 00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:33,840 Speaker 1: I'm so I get it. It looks like there's no 658 00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:35,600 Speaker 1: way the Bills are gonna be able to stop their 659 00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:39,520 Speaker 1: run game. They're still gonna try. 660 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:44,360 Speaker 2: Right, And I would argue that the Bills style up 661 00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:48,520 Speaker 2: front caters to stopping a guy like Derrick Henry. The 662 00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:53,320 Speaker 2: Bills play a penetrating defensive front trying to get upfield 663 00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:56,120 Speaker 2: make tackles for loss in the backfield. That's the way 664 00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:59,280 Speaker 2: you stop Derrick Henry by forcing him to reroute his 665 00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:01,920 Speaker 2: angle of entry on a run play. If you can 666 00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:04,600 Speaker 2: get him to go east west instead of north south 667 00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:06,600 Speaker 2: without any impedance. 668 00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:08,680 Speaker 1: You have a better chance of getting him on the Say, 669 00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:10,160 Speaker 1: when I say it looks like the Bills have no 670 00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:12,720 Speaker 1: chance to start, that's what it sounds like the caller 671 00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:14,680 Speaker 1: was thinking. I mean, I the Bills are gonna have 672 00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:16,360 Speaker 1: a plan, and they'll if they can execute. If they 673 00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:19,560 Speaker 1: execute their plan, they lost them in the past, so yeah, 674 00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:22,880 Speaker 1: I uh, well, he was with the Titans, right, so 675 00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:27,000 Speaker 1: we'll see. I'm no reason to no reason to change 676 00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,640 Speaker 1: your spots. They're good, really really, Bill's a really good 677 00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:32,040 Speaker 1: football team, and you know, finally get an opportunity to 678 00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:33,719 Speaker 1: go to the big game. They have an opportunity to 679 00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:35,560 Speaker 1: go to the big game. Every year they're in. They're 680 00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:38,359 Speaker 1: here in this spot five years in a row, six 681 00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:40,960 Speaker 1: out of the last seven. They are getting lots of 682 00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:47,080 Speaker 1: shots on goal, and you just got to play well 683 00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:52,399 Speaker 1: this Sunday night at six thirty and all this opportunity 684 00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:54,479 Speaker 1: is not has nothing to do with the last five 685 00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:58,440 Speaker 1: opportunities or six opportunities. This is a separate one, and 686 00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:00,920 Speaker 1: you've got the guy to get it done, and you 687 00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:02,440 Speaker 1: got to go out there and take your best swing 688 00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:04,520 Speaker 1: and play well on that day. Otherwise you go home 689 00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:13,399 Speaker 1: and that's it. This doesn't reflect on anything other than 690 00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:15,400 Speaker 1: the guys in the locker room in this year and 691 00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:20,880 Speaker 1: this year's opportunity. They have gotten a long way from 692 00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:27,239 Speaker 1: a team that was picked third in the division. They 693 00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:29,640 Speaker 1: are playing better than a lot of people thought they would. 694 00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:37,600 Speaker 1: They have. They have absolutely outpaced expectations and except outside 695 00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:41,520 Speaker 1: of the show, and you've got to think that they're 696 00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:42,400 Speaker 1: going to do that again. 697 00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:43,360 Speaker 7: You got it. 698 00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:45,239 Speaker 1: And if your Bills fan, you got to think, yeah, 699 00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:48,239 Speaker 1: we've got some horses. There's enough reasons to think they 700 00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:50,319 Speaker 1: weren't at one hundred percent the last time these two 701 00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:53,080 Speaker 1: teams played, and that they've got a lot more in 702 00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:55,000 Speaker 1: the tank than they did at that point on both 703 00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,400 Speaker 1: sides of the ball. They got to go out and 704 00:35:57,440 --> 00:35:57,919 Speaker 1: prove it though. 705 00:35:58,080 --> 00:35:58,160 Speaker 4: Ye. 706 00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:01,360 Speaker 2: Let's move along to Steven in Hamburg. What do you 707 00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:02,040 Speaker 2: got for a Steven? 708 00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:05,239 Speaker 10: Hey, guys, thanks for taking my call. We know what's 709 00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:08,200 Speaker 10: going to be cold. Will you see the weather? Baltimore 710 00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:11,400 Speaker 10: sees the weather. I'm not concerned about the Bills. The 711 00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:13,480 Speaker 10: Bills can cook in the cold. What do you think 712 00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:17,440 Speaker 10: about the offense and the defense, Lamar or the whole package? 713 00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:21,000 Speaker 10: You think they're going to struggle a little considering they're 714 00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:24,640 Speaker 10: more of a warm weather team compared to what we 715 00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:26,000 Speaker 10: have to bring to the table. 716 00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:29,280 Speaker 1: No, Baltimore, they've been They've been practicing in cold weather 717 00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:33,160 Speaker 1: for weeks now. There are some stuff on Hard Knocks 718 00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:35,120 Speaker 1: about it. They ca came out and they were and 719 00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:40,040 Speaker 1: John Harbor was having a big conversation with Boomer Chris 720 00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:42,839 Speaker 1: Berman from ESPN he was visiting. He was visiting. I mean, 721 00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:45,280 Speaker 1: they're blowing frost out and there was windy and bad, 722 00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:48,879 Speaker 1: and so they practice in it, so they'll, Uh, you're 723 00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:52,080 Speaker 1: not going to get that much, if any, advantage of 724 00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:54,200 Speaker 1: the wind. The only advantage you're going to have is 725 00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:56,000 Speaker 1: when you're going the right way on the field, either 726 00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:59,040 Speaker 1: with the wind or against it. That that's not a 727 00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:01,600 Speaker 1: factor I think in in this game. 728 00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:04,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, and look, the weather looks like it's 729 00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:07,960 Speaker 2: gonna be okay, no pre sip in the forecast. It 730 00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:10,120 Speaker 2: doesn't look like it's going to be terribly windy. It's 731 00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:14,440 Speaker 2: just going to be cold, and both offenses should function 732 00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:16,400 Speaker 2: without any restriction. 733 00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:19,200 Speaker 3: Because of it. Let's go to Mike and Lancaster next. 734 00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:19,839 Speaker 3: What do you got for us? 735 00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:25,680 Speaker 11: Mike, Hey, guys, good afternoon. I was just wondering Josh 736 00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:29,640 Speaker 11: Allen's contract. I know he's obviously not one of the 737 00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:33,399 Speaker 11: highest paid quarterbacks, but I would think, what's what's right? 738 00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:36,200 Speaker 11: He should probably should be one of the top two 739 00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:39,680 Speaker 11: quarterbacks in the league as far as salary goes. If 740 00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:43,200 Speaker 11: you think they'll up change at this offseason, if it 741 00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:46,600 Speaker 11: would be front loaded or backloaded or how that would work. 742 00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:48,600 Speaker 11: And the second thing is, I don't know if you 743 00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:51,239 Speaker 11: got a chance to see Bill Clinton staring at Kamala's 744 00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:54,560 Speaker 11: onion there in the carrier funeral, didn't know what your 745 00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:54,960 Speaker 11: thoughts were. 746 00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:59,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, No, no real thought on that at all. Don't 747 00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:01,000 Speaker 2: be a jackwagon, That's all I'll say. 748 00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:01,360 Speaker 5: About that. 749 00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:08,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, Allen's got three four more years left 750 00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:12,360 Speaker 2: on his current contract. There is an out in his 751 00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:17,000 Speaker 2: deal next year. His cap hit for twenty twenty five 752 00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:20,399 Speaker 2: goes up to forty three million. But I think it's 753 00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:24,239 Speaker 2: fair to say that his contract is due for an adjustment, 754 00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:29,840 Speaker 2: so having signed it four years ago, in light of 755 00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:33,120 Speaker 2: where the current market stands, his average salary is forty 756 00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:36,560 Speaker 2: three million a year, it's over ten million more than 757 00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:39,000 Speaker 2: that now on average, and he's one of the top 758 00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:41,759 Speaker 2: three quarterbacks in football and has so an adjustment is 759 00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:45,400 Speaker 2: probably necessary. And look, if the Bills can structure it 760 00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:48,080 Speaker 2: in such a way that it benefits them as well 761 00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:50,560 Speaker 2: as Josh, you're all for it. 762 00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:53,360 Speaker 1: I mean when he just doesn't care when they adjust, 763 00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:55,799 Speaker 1: it means he gets money now instead of later, and 764 00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:59,400 Speaker 1: that's always a positive thing for the players. You can 765 00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:04,920 Speaker 1: sock it away. And so yeah, that's the off season 766 00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:08,400 Speaker 1: of financials should be in a much better spot this 767 00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:15,680 Speaker 1: year without the purging of players as big a a 768 00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:18,000 Speaker 1: purging of players as we saw last year. I mean 769 00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:19,520 Speaker 1: you think about I mean, we can go over the 770 00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:21,920 Speaker 1: list again. It's been a while since we've thought about it. 771 00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:27,160 Speaker 2: With with d Morris white hide ployer. 772 00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:32,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go. So it's rough, so they probably 773 00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:35,759 Speaker 1: won't have to go to that extent this year. And 774 00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:40,520 Speaker 1: they did it last year and got better. That's what 775 00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:43,400 Speaker 1: good teams do. Whatever guys they pull in, they're going 776 00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:46,160 Speaker 1: to get some refurbishment from the draft. From free agency. 777 00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:48,080 Speaker 1: There's gonna be a lot of names out there that 778 00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:52,640 Speaker 1: will be improvements for this team. We'll see if they 779 00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:54,000 Speaker 1: can get it done, but I'm sure they will. 780 00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:58,440 Speaker 2: Not to confuse anybody, but we go to Boston from Toronto. 781 00:39:58,520 --> 00:39:59,320 Speaker 3: What's up Boston? 782 00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:03,400 Speaker 7: Hi, guys, how are you good? Good? 783 00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:05,560 Speaker 9: Thanks for taking my call. 784 00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:06,399 Speaker 7: I appreciate it. 785 00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:11,800 Speaker 9: So living in Toronto, I've been a Bills and sabersan 786 00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:15,359 Speaker 9: my entire life. So go go, go go Bills. 787 00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:15,480 Speaker 7: For sure. 788 00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:20,000 Speaker 9: But one thing I wanted to posture is that and 789 00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:22,520 Speaker 9: it hasn't really weird. It's ugly head yet. I think 790 00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:26,520 Speaker 9: the only achilles heel for the Bills team is if 791 00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:32,520 Speaker 9: they get into a situational specific coaching situation, as McDermott 792 00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:36,279 Speaker 9: never seems to have a handle on it, and if 793 00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:38,719 Speaker 9: you think of last week, they were never in that 794 00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:43,920 Speaker 9: sort of situation. But moving forward, when it's. 795 00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:44,280 Speaker 12: In a pinch. 796 00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:48,200 Speaker 13: I'm often watching the game and thinking, how are you 797 00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:50,760 Speaker 13: guys not doing this? And I could go through dozens 798 00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:53,880 Speaker 13: of examples. That's where I think the Achilles heel is 799 00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:57,359 Speaker 13: and I appreciate your guys' thoughts on that. And I'm 800 00:40:57,360 --> 00:40:59,880 Speaker 13: not talking just regular you know, through the game, but 801 00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:03,560 Speaker 13: at clock management at the end of a game, it 802 00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:06,000 Speaker 13: just seems they don't have a handle on it. So 803 00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:08,160 Speaker 13: those are my thoughts, and I appreciate your feedback. 804 00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:13,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll respectfully disagree. There have been instances where they 805 00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:16,440 Speaker 2: have not managed the clock properly at the end, but 806 00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:19,360 Speaker 2: I think they're fewer and further between than the times 807 00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:23,680 Speaker 2: where McDermott has gotten it right at the end of games. 808 00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:25,279 Speaker 3: You can even go back to the. 809 00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:29,920 Speaker 2: Baltimore Bills game two years ago where they managed the 810 00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:33,040 Speaker 2: clock perfectly at the end of the first half, end 811 00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:34,799 Speaker 2: at the end of the game and won twenty three 812 00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:38,439 Speaker 2: to twenty. So, and there are examples this year where 813 00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:43,960 Speaker 2: he managed the clock properly. I think obviously, when it 814 00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:47,440 Speaker 2: doesn't go the right way, those stand out and frustrate 815 00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:49,560 Speaker 2: fans like yourself, and I understand why. 816 00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:52,640 Speaker 3: But I think if we went game by game through 817 00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:53,440 Speaker 3: the instances. 818 00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:55,799 Speaker 2: I think there are just as many times where he 819 00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:58,759 Speaker 2: managed the clock properly. Heck, there might even be more 820 00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:00,880 Speaker 2: times where he managed the clock properly than not the 821 00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:01,359 Speaker 2: right way. 822 00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:03,120 Speaker 1: I've said this too, and it hasn't come up very 823 00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:06,359 Speaker 1: much this year and last week it didn't work out 824 00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:09,239 Speaker 1: this way. In fact, it worked out on the other 825 00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:13,280 Speaker 1: side because of the way the ball fell. Sean Payton 826 00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:15,000 Speaker 1: did a nice job giving his team a chance to 827 00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:16,839 Speaker 1: tie it up right before halftime, and the guy drked 828 00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:20,239 Speaker 1: it off the upright. The Bills have been extremely good 829 00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:23,120 Speaker 1: at the end of the first half of game's and 830 00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:25,400 Speaker 1: the one thing, and I get it. You know, everybody 831 00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:27,680 Speaker 1: goes back to the thirteen second game way back in 832 00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:29,400 Speaker 1: you know now it seems like a long time, but 833 00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:31,960 Speaker 1: the thirteen second game that left a mark on so 834 00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:37,720 Speaker 1: many people that this is a guy, this head coach 835 00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:41,600 Speaker 1: has made it his mission to improve in every area 836 00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:43,200 Speaker 1: of his coaching. He does it all the time. We 837 00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:44,839 Speaker 1: see it all the time here in the building. They're 838 00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:48,600 Speaker 1: always trying to get better.

Culton? 871 00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:38,600 Speaker 14: Hey, guys, I really think that our guys who were 872 00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:40,959 Speaker 14: out the last time we played Baltimore played a big role. 873 00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:45,440 Speaker 14: I like Tarn Johnson over top of Mark Andrews. I 874 00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:50,479 Speaker 14: like our two linebackers in the run game. Not having 875 00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:54,600 Speaker 14: Shakir for most of that game also just really really 876 00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:57,800 Speaker 14: hurt us. I also think that being at home is 877 00:44:57,840 --> 00:44:59,200 Speaker 14: going to help us a lot. I think this game 878 00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:00,759 Speaker 14: is completely different than the first time. 879 00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:02,000 Speaker 3: Yeah. 880 00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:06,120 Speaker 14: I also saw that our old friend from our old 881 00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:09,239 Speaker 14: reporter from the last playoff game was talking about the 882 00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:13,520 Speaker 14: Buffalo is the city of losers again yep, which is 883 00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:15,200 Speaker 14: just going to rile us up even more. And I 884 00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:18,480 Speaker 14: did not like John Harball's response to it, not necessarily 885 00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:21,880 Speaker 14: denying it more let's just move on. 886 00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:23,600 Speaker 3: Yeah. 887 00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:26,759 Speaker 2: I think he realized he stepped in some stuff by 888 00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:30,240 Speaker 2: taking the time to ask the reporter, why does Bill's 889 00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:33,440 Speaker 2: mafia hate you? And then immediately regretted it when the 890 00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:34,920 Speaker 2: reporter explained, why. 891 00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:40,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and there's some stuff as well. 892 00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:43,520 Speaker 2: I mean he's not John Harbaugh is smart enough to 893 00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:45,719 Speaker 2: know not to put. 894 00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:49,359 Speaker 1: The reporters that every town sometimes has that is he's 895 00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:52,239 Speaker 1: a pot ster. He's a potster. Yeah, so it's you know, 896 00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:53,319 Speaker 1: there you go. 897 00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:58,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, Jerry Coleman's his name, in case anybody's wondering, Jerry Coleman. 898 00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:00,839 Speaker 3: So there you go, Uh to Marv on a cell. 899 00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:01,480 Speaker 3: What do you got, Firs. 900 00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:06,640 Speaker 7: Marvin, Good afternoon, gentlemen. Yeah, he was just wondering. You know, 901 00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:10,280 Speaker 7: you can't use the last game as a measuring stick 902 00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:13,080 Speaker 7: by any means. I mean, Denver is not the team 903 00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:16,120 Speaker 7: that we're playing. And everybody's saying on the defense and 904 00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:19,120 Speaker 7: on what we did and everything, it's not even close. 905 00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:22,800 Speaker 7: And I'd like to know your feeling. Everybody's talking about, 906 00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:28,560 Speaker 7: you know, the Milano and Williams. Williams should be he's 907 00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:31,239 Speaker 7: the leading tackler on the team. How he's not on 908 00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:34,440 Speaker 7: the field is beyond me. I just don't see. We 909 00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:40,160 Speaker 7: do the same too high defense, cut by a thousand cuts, 910 00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:42,719 Speaker 7: and you know throw we don't want to get beat deep, 911 00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:46,000 Speaker 7: but we even found out that we got beat deep 912 00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:49,640 Speaker 7: on the first first series with Denver. But at the 913 00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:52,080 Speaker 7: end of the day, Williams should be on the field. 914 00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:55,000 Speaker 7: They should do something different. I watched the Bills game 915 00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:59,080 Speaker 7: three times. I watched that game. Our defensive line got 916 00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:03,160 Speaker 7: no pressure so advert and the only benefit of that 917 00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:06,560 Speaker 7: will be is that Lamar won't be able to dance around. 918 00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:09,879 Speaker 7: Our guys won't be making upfield because they'll they'll be 919 00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:13,040 Speaker 7: they won't even get penetration. And the only thing I 920 00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:18,279 Speaker 7: saw different was a Hamblin blitzing twice with no success 921 00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:20,879 Speaker 7: at all. So I'd like to know why you think 922 00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:23,800 Speaker 7: they shouldn't come up with something do new on defense. 923 00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:26,680 Speaker 7: We do the same thing gaming and game up. Thank 924 00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:27,919 Speaker 7: you and I appreciate your time. 925 00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:31,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, they'll do something different because they know they have to. 926 00:47:32,239 --> 00:47:36,400 Speaker 2: Now again to Steve's point earlier, it's not going to 927 00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:39,759 Speaker 2: be the entire game plan. They're going to have a 928 00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:44,120 Speaker 2: package designed to counteract some of the things they expect 929 00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:49,200 Speaker 2: from Baltimore, which they weren't successful defending in a nickel package. 930 00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:53,040 Speaker 2: And look in the week four they got whipped at 931 00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:56,960 Speaker 2: the line of scrimmage. And I think you have to 932 00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:59,560 Speaker 2: remember where the Bills were coming from. In Week four, 933 00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:04,320 Speaker 2: they were the leading scoring team in football. They scored 934 00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:08,200 Speaker 2: thirty four, thirty one, and forty seven points the first 935 00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:10,880 Speaker 2: three weeks, and I think maybe they got a little 936 00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:15,120 Speaker 2: overconfident in themselves. They got whipped at the line of 937 00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:16,880 Speaker 2: scrimmage on both sides of the ball. 938 00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:20,240 Speaker 3: There's no debating that. I think it'll be different this time. 939 00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:23,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, And you know, they came out and they had 940 00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:26,040 Speaker 1: barely beaten Dallas the week before in that first game 941 00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:28,280 Speaker 1: that I'm talking about the Ravens, and they had gotten 942 00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:30,839 Speaker 1: beat by Kansas City and Raiders in the first two 943 00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:32,600 Speaker 1: weeks of the season. They were one and two coming in. 944 00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:36,200 Speaker 1: They were desperate game. They were desperate. The Bills were undermanned, 945 00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:41,200 Speaker 1: and you know, we're watching some highlights now. It's yeah, 946 00:48:41,239 --> 00:48:43,040 Speaker 1: it's it is going to be a different game. And 947 00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:45,000 Speaker 1: certainly the Denver game has nothing to do with this 948 00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:50,719 Speaker 1: game unless Ray Davis is injured and can't play. But 949 00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:56,279 Speaker 1: this game is yeah, both teams. I mean, that's the 950 00:48:56,360 --> 00:48:58,640 Speaker 1: narrative coming into this game. You talk to, you listen 951 00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:01,680 Speaker 1: to what the Ravens fans and their media and even 952 00:49:01,719 --> 00:49:04,160 Speaker 1: their players and coaches say about where they're at as 953 00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:06,840 Speaker 1: compared to where they were in Week four. They're telling 954 00:49:06,840 --> 00:49:09,600 Speaker 1: you there is They're as different as the Bills will 955 00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:12,279 Speaker 1: tell you how different they are with four different starters out, 956 00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:16,440 Speaker 1: so it's it's going to be a completely different game. 957 00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:21,040 Speaker 1: The stars are still the stars offensively for both teams 958 00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:25,600 Speaker 1: and the and we'll see what the defenses do against 959 00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:30,799 Speaker 1: these two teams that have an absolute, you know, generational 960 00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:35,000 Speaker 1: talent playing quarterback both of them. 961 00:49:33,840 --> 00:49:36,160 Speaker 3: And a generational talent and running back for the Ravens. 962 00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:38,239 Speaker 1: And they're scoring a ton of points both of them. 963 00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:40,480 Speaker 1: And they both just lumped up a playoff team in 964 00:49:40,520 --> 00:49:44,440 Speaker 1: the NFL Wildcard round. That's not easy to do. 965 00:49:44,719 --> 00:49:48,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, we are up against the break here. We will 966 00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:50,200 Speaker 2: take more of your phone calls in our number two, 967 00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:53,319 Speaker 2: but we will begin our number two with our good 968 00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:56,239 Speaker 2: friend from ESPN NFL analyst Dan Orlovsky, as he makes 969 00:49:56,239 --> 00:49:59,560 Speaker 2: his weekly visit with us.

Dan, Let's rehash Bill's Broncos 979 00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:16,520 Speaker 2: first before we get to the heavyweight matchup. 980 00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:18,920 Speaker 3: And I remember. 981 00:51:18,560 --> 00:51:20,640 Speaker 2: Talking to you last week and I asked you about 982 00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:23,480 Speaker 2: Buffalo's run game. You're like, I don't know if that's 983 00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:26,400 Speaker 2: a great idea. Denver's a top three run defense, and 984 00:51:27,080 --> 00:51:30,000 Speaker 2: look at this. I mean, Buffalo's offensive line made a 985 00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:33,440 Speaker 2: big statement in this thing, rushing for over two hundred. 986 00:51:34,680 --> 00:51:37,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, because I think the most impressive thing was I 987 00:51:37,560 --> 00:51:41,319 Speaker 4: feel it was probably the most diverse run game that 988 00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:43,840 Speaker 4: they've had all year. And you know, we've talked about 989 00:51:43,840 --> 00:51:47,480 Speaker 4: how you know what Joe Brady's done is sometimes there's 990 00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:50,800 Speaker 4: a beauty into simplicity. You know, they'll run the same 991 00:51:50,920 --> 00:51:53,920 Speaker 4: two or three runs all game, and they'll dress them 992 00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:56,360 Speaker 4: up and make them into different formations and whatnot. 993 00:51:56,400 --> 00:51:57,800 Speaker 1: But you know, and. 994 00:51:57,960 --> 00:52:00,680 Speaker 4: Credit to them that it's been a simple, thick approach 995 00:52:00,719 --> 00:52:02,800 Speaker 4: to that and it's been really good. But I counted, 996 00:52:03,160 --> 00:52:05,600 Speaker 4: and this is why I say the most diverse run game. 997 00:52:05,680 --> 00:52:08,719 Speaker 4: I counted nine different runs in this game from them, 998 00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:12,719 Speaker 4: and in so many different ways personnel wise. You know, 999 00:52:12,760 --> 00:52:15,640 Speaker 4: we saw some of their two back run game when 1000 00:52:15,640 --> 00:52:18,040 Speaker 4: they had two legit backs in the game, and then 1001 00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:21,040 Speaker 4: they had some what looked like two back but Curtis 1002 00:52:21,080 --> 00:52:24,360 Speaker 4: Samuel was playing in that position. We saw the full 1003 00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:27,200 Speaker 4: back Gilliam get you know, snaps again a little bit 1004 00:52:27,200 --> 00:52:29,359 Speaker 4: out of the blue, and different run out of that. 1005 00:52:29,719 --> 00:52:32,200 Speaker 4: I think we saw some different runs in some bunch 1006 00:52:32,320 --> 00:52:36,160 Speaker 4: formations and so some tosses and some duos, different ways 1007 00:52:36,160 --> 00:52:39,000 Speaker 4: that they pulled certain people. So that was probably the 1008 00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:43,160 Speaker 4: most impressive part schematically is how and you know, one 1009 00:52:43,160 --> 00:52:45,319 Speaker 4: of the teams that I guess in the course of 1010 00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:48,400 Speaker 4: the last two years has really been the kind of 1011 00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:52,480 Speaker 4: benchmark when it comes to run game diversity as the Lions. 1012 00:52:52,640 --> 00:52:56,239 Speaker 4: They throw so much at you scheme wise, kind of 1013 00:52:56,239 --> 00:52:58,319 Speaker 4: felt like I was watching one of their games in 1014 00:52:58,360 --> 00:53:01,000 Speaker 4: regards to that, and then I know Tony Rumo was 1015 00:53:01,360 --> 00:53:04,640 Speaker 4: mentioning this on the broadcast foot the tape absolutely reaffirms 1016 00:53:04,680 --> 00:53:09,319 Speaker 4: it is. I thought James cook vision was sensational, you know, 1017 00:53:09,440 --> 00:53:12,799 Speaker 4: like his ability to wait for the hole and then 1018 00:53:12,840 --> 00:53:15,600 Speaker 4: get through the hole. That vision and burst was was 1019 00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:18,319 Speaker 4: one of the better performances when it comes to that 1020 00:53:18,320 --> 00:53:21,120 Speaker 4: that I've seen all season. So it was it was 1021 00:53:21,840 --> 00:53:24,279 Speaker 4: in many ways, I don't want to say flawless, but 1022 00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:26,800 Speaker 4: a big time performance by that whole group. 1023 00:53:27,160 --> 00:53:29,720 Speaker 1: What do you think fit this running game into the 1024 00:53:29,760 --> 00:53:32,480 Speaker 1: Baltimore run defense. They're the best. They're the best run 1025 00:53:32,520 --> 00:53:36,120 Speaker 1: defense in the league. They're really good at it. I mean, 1026 00:53:36,560 --> 00:53:39,080 Speaker 1: certainly it's a rock and a hard place. The Bill's 1027 00:53:39,160 --> 00:53:41,279 Speaker 1: run game has been pretty good, but I don't know 1028 00:53:41,320 --> 00:53:44,239 Speaker 1: that there's been number one run defense in the league good. 1029 00:53:44,239 --> 00:53:44,799 Speaker 1: What do you think? 1030 00:53:46,480 --> 00:53:50,399 Speaker 4: Yeah, Obviously, the size of Baltimore defensively is a big 1031 00:53:50,440 --> 00:53:52,680 Speaker 4: deal across the board, you know, and so that's one 1032 00:53:52,680 --> 00:53:54,719 Speaker 4: of the reasons why that they're so good in the run. 1033 00:53:54,760 --> 00:53:57,399 Speaker 4: I think the second thing is, Steve, they do such 1034 00:53:57,440 --> 00:54:01,000 Speaker 4: a great job of having hands and there really handsy 1035 00:54:01,040 --> 00:54:03,000 Speaker 4: in the run game, you know. They it's not like 1036 00:54:03,040 --> 00:54:05,480 Speaker 4: they're not a big defensive bond that once they get 1037 00:54:05,520 --> 00:54:08,719 Speaker 4: penetration right now and create a TfL or try to 1038 00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:10,400 Speaker 4: get it back to stop his feet. They do a 1039 00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:12,600 Speaker 4: really good job of, you know, kind of what we 1040 00:54:12,719 --> 00:54:15,640 Speaker 4: call that two gap where they they're strong and powerful 1041 00:54:15,680 --> 00:54:17,879 Speaker 4: and they'll shed a block and trying to make sure 1042 00:54:17,880 --> 00:54:20,279 Speaker 4: that they have really good gap sound integrity. So like 1043 00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:24,200 Speaker 4: the size of that Rokwan is sensational as a linebacker 1044 00:54:24,239 --> 00:54:26,760 Speaker 4: when it comes to just his vision to the ball 1045 00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:29,360 Speaker 4: and whatnot. I think they tackle over really well in 1046 00:54:29,440 --> 00:54:32,640 Speaker 4: space as well. Marlin Humphrey, he's a lot like tarn 1047 00:54:32,760 --> 00:54:34,960 Speaker 4: you know, when it comes to they'll put Marlin in 1048 00:54:35,120 --> 00:54:38,000 Speaker 4: that run in pass game world, and so they don't 1049 00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:40,640 Speaker 4: they don't permit a ton of numbers to the past game. 1050 00:54:40,760 --> 00:54:40,960 Speaker 3: You know. 1051 00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:44,200 Speaker 4: It's it's a little bit, at least theoretically like the 1052 00:54:44,480 --> 00:54:46,239 Speaker 4: Bills when it comes to the starting to point of 1053 00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:49,280 Speaker 4: wanted to play show. But it's just this really strong 1054 00:54:49,480 --> 00:54:50,920 Speaker 4: defense at the point of attack. 1055 00:54:51,920 --> 00:54:54,560 Speaker 2: Conversely, though, I would think the Bills are going to 1056 00:54:54,640 --> 00:54:57,680 Speaker 2: want to penetrate, because the only way you slow Derek 1057 00:54:57,719 --> 00:54:59,920 Speaker 2: Henry down is to get him to reroute his any 1058 00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:02,200 Speaker 2: of entry. You need him going east west. He's a 1059 00:55:02,239 --> 00:55:05,120 Speaker 2: lot easier to tackle that way, So is penetration kind 1060 00:55:05,160 --> 00:55:09,439 Speaker 2: of the key for Buffalo and run defense or yeah, yeah, 1061 00:55:09,520 --> 00:55:10,280 Speaker 2: one hundred percent. 1062 00:55:10,360 --> 00:55:10,560 Speaker 12: You know. 1063 00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:13,520 Speaker 4: Uh. One last thing that Baltimore will do is they'll 1064 00:55:13,520 --> 00:55:16,200 Speaker 4: put five guys at the line of scrimmage and they'll 1065 00:55:16,239 --> 00:55:18,080 Speaker 4: put hat on a hat, which will be interesting to 1066 00:55:18,080 --> 00:55:20,160 Speaker 4: see how Buffalo handles it. And then the thing is 1067 00:55:20,200 --> 00:55:22,000 Speaker 4: if it's a pass, they'll drop one of those guys 1068 00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:26,200 Speaker 4: out and still have seven guys in coverage for Buffalo. Yes, 1069 00:55:26,320 --> 00:55:29,399 Speaker 4: I mean it is huge to get penetration. I think 1070 00:55:29,440 --> 00:55:32,000 Speaker 4: the if you had to ask me, like, the one 1071 00:55:32,080 --> 00:55:35,120 Speaker 4: specific matchship that I'm gonna be fascinated to watch is 1072 00:55:35,920 --> 00:55:38,759 Speaker 4: in both the run and the pass. Who does Buffalo 1073 00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:43,720 Speaker 4: put over Baltimore's right guard for letle really good player, 1074 00:55:43,920 --> 00:55:47,680 Speaker 4: He's only done this throughout the season. His one thing 1075 00:55:47,719 --> 00:55:51,920 Speaker 4: that he has struggled with consistently is quickness. You gotta 1076 00:55:52,040 --> 00:55:57,120 Speaker 4: win versus him with quicks and obviously Oliver smooth at 1077 00:55:57,160 --> 00:55:59,680 Speaker 4: Panessa maybe in past game stuff. I think that'll be 1078 00:55:59,760 --> 00:56:02,280 Speaker 4: really interesting things. So, yes, you have to get penetration 1079 00:56:02,480 --> 00:56:04,879 Speaker 4: versus Derrick Henry. You have to make sure you try 1080 00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:06,839 Speaker 4: to get him to stop his feet and make a 1081 00:56:06,880 --> 00:56:09,919 Speaker 4: cut because if he gets going with momentum, he's tough 1082 00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:13,359 Speaker 4: to stot. I do think the really interesting part of 1083 00:56:13,360 --> 00:56:16,520 Speaker 4: this game when it comes to McDermott and Babbache is 1084 00:56:17,200 --> 00:56:20,640 Speaker 4: last week Baltimore, for the first time all year, they 1085 00:56:20,719 --> 00:56:23,840 Speaker 4: put six offensive linemen on the field to run the football. 1086 00:56:24,120 --> 00:56:26,880 Speaker 4: So hear me up with this. They put six offensive 1087 00:56:26,880 --> 00:56:30,400 Speaker 4: linemen and Patrick Ricard on the field. Right, that's seven 1088 00:56:30,560 --> 00:56:33,560 Speaker 4: human beings that are three hundred pounds or more. So 1089 00:56:34,040 --> 00:56:37,359 Speaker 4: I me, my brain tells me there's no way if 1090 00:56:37,400 --> 00:56:39,560 Speaker 4: you're Buffalo you could just line up with your four 1091 00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:42,919 Speaker 4: man front, your nickel defense versus that and say hey, 1092 00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:46,080 Speaker 4: here we go. Because it's just big body versus little body. 1093 00:56:46,360 --> 00:56:49,040 Speaker 4: I think it'll be very interesting to see how they 1094 00:56:49,840 --> 00:56:52,279 Speaker 4: counter and or plan for that because it was a 1095 00:56:52,320 --> 00:56:55,000 Speaker 4: big part of what Baltimore did and it was super successful. 1096 00:56:55,960 --> 00:56:58,360 Speaker 1: Right, and you see some of these teams now and 1097 00:56:58,400 --> 00:57:01,719 Speaker 1: Buffalo did a little bit, I mean they got the 1098 00:57:01,719 --> 00:57:03,279 Speaker 1: game was a little bit out of ea, excuse me, 1099 00:57:04,280 --> 00:57:06,320 Speaker 1: is fourth and one and that's on the Ty Johnson 1100 00:57:06,360 --> 00:57:09,640 Speaker 1: touchdown pass. The Bills don't line up in shotgun four 1101 00:57:09,680 --> 00:57:13,399 Speaker 1: wide in fourth and one, but they did it late 1102 00:57:13,440 --> 00:57:16,880 Speaker 1: in that game. So you saw those teams, particularly like 1103 00:57:16,920 --> 00:57:19,680 Speaker 1: a game like the one that the Steelers in Baltimore 1104 00:57:19,720 --> 00:57:21,640 Speaker 1: Ravens got into and the Bills got into it with 1105 00:57:21,680 --> 00:57:25,160 Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos. These games and you start to sprinkle 1106 00:57:25,160 --> 00:57:28,400 Speaker 1: in some stuff that you haven't we haven't seen these teams. 1107 00:57:28,440 --> 00:57:29,840 Speaker 1: Do Do you think there's a little more of that 1108 00:57:29,920 --> 00:57:30,280 Speaker 1: going on? 1109 00:57:32,360 --> 00:57:36,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I think that was a philosophy of Baltimore. 1110 00:57:36,280 --> 00:57:38,480 Speaker 4: Now maybe it was a little bit attached to nose 1111 00:57:38,520 --> 00:57:40,640 Speaker 4: any flowers. I mean we saw them get into the 1112 00:57:40,640 --> 00:57:43,440 Speaker 4: Wildcat and use Lamar Jackson in an emotion and they 1113 00:57:43,440 --> 00:57:45,600 Speaker 4: snapped it too directly to Derreck Henry and faked it 1114 00:57:45,640 --> 00:57:48,960 Speaker 4: to Lamar. So you know, when the fourth and one 1115 00:57:49,000 --> 00:57:51,520 Speaker 4: happened for Buffalo, like it was, it was a thirteen 1116 00:57:51,520 --> 00:57:53,960 Speaker 4: to seven game with eighteen minutes to go in the game, 1117 00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:56,280 Speaker 4: so I think it was very much so still I 1118 00:57:56,280 --> 00:57:58,880 Speaker 4: guess a ball game. It felt like certainly Buffalo was 1119 00:57:58,920 --> 00:58:01,600 Speaker 4: in control of it, but it's still the outcome was 1120 00:58:01,640 --> 00:58:05,320 Speaker 4: still in limbo. You know this this game is going 1121 00:58:05,360 --> 00:58:08,520 Speaker 4: to be awesome because I do think that ninety five 1122 00:58:08,560 --> 00:58:11,240 Speaker 4: percent of what you're gonna do on an offense, the 1123 00:58:11,320 --> 00:58:13,240 Speaker 4: other team is going to have a pretty good beat 1124 00:58:13,280 --> 00:58:16,000 Speaker 4: on of what you're trying to do, but there is 1125 00:58:16,040 --> 00:58:19,680 Speaker 4: that five percent of you know they've done. Each offense 1126 00:58:19,800 --> 00:58:22,320 Speaker 4: is kind of done so much this year that there's 1127 00:58:22,400 --> 00:58:26,280 Speaker 4: always that unknown of, Okay, what else can they get to? 1128 00:58:26,440 --> 00:58:29,480 Speaker 4: And so that'd be a really interesting part to see 1129 00:58:29,600 --> 00:58:32,160 Speaker 4: what defense is kind of Petter prepared for some of 1130 00:58:32,160 --> 00:58:32,680 Speaker 4: that stuff. 1131 00:58:33,360 --> 00:58:36,960 Speaker 2: You might know this already, but in that first meeting 1132 00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:39,520 Speaker 2: in week four, the Bills did not have any member 1133 00:58:39,520 --> 00:58:42,080 Speaker 2: of their defense from the second level in the lineup. 1134 00:58:42,440 --> 00:58:45,960 Speaker 2: No Terrell Bernard, no Matt Mulano, no Taron Johnson in 1135 00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:48,640 Speaker 2: that game. They have all three of them for this one, 1136 00:58:48,800 --> 00:58:51,520 Speaker 2: and look, Taron Johnson may not play as much as 1137 00:58:51,520 --> 00:58:54,200 Speaker 2: he usually does, especially if you're seeing their jumbo package 1138 00:58:54,240 --> 00:58:54,600 Speaker 2: come out on. 1139 00:58:54,600 --> 00:58:55,560 Speaker 3: The field with Recard. 1140 00:58:57,240 --> 00:59:00,960 Speaker 2: But all that being said, I'm curious for your thoughts 1141 00:59:01,040 --> 00:59:04,760 Speaker 2: on Milano's level of play in the Jets game in 1142 00:59:04,800 --> 00:59:09,320 Speaker 2: Week seventeen this past week against Denver, because we're feeling 1143 00:59:09,400 --> 00:59:13,120 Speaker 2: like we're seeing old Matt Mulano coming back, just the 1144 00:59:13,160 --> 00:59:15,960 Speaker 2: way he's triggering and firing. It looks like he's seeing 1145 00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:19,680 Speaker 2: it and reacting like we're used to seeing Milano. 1146 00:59:19,800 --> 00:59:22,200 Speaker 4: Because I think the word you just set a spot 1147 00:59:22,240 --> 00:59:25,240 Speaker 4: on the reaction. The instincts seemed to kind of be 1148 00:59:25,320 --> 00:59:27,920 Speaker 4: coming back and both the run in the past. I 1149 00:59:27,920 --> 00:59:30,160 Speaker 4: think a couple of times when he ran people down 1150 00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:33,560 Speaker 4: this past week kind of didn't see that in Week seventeen. 1151 00:59:33,560 --> 00:59:35,479 Speaker 4: I think early on in that game he ran down 1152 00:59:35,520 --> 00:59:38,720 Speaker 4: bow Nix on a scramble, and so, you know, it's 1153 00:59:38,840 --> 00:59:42,680 Speaker 4: nice to see that come back. I think the three 1154 00:59:43,280 --> 00:59:46,640 Speaker 4: that second level where those three guys weren't there and 1155 00:59:46,800 --> 00:59:48,920 Speaker 4: are there as huge because if you go back to 1156 00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:52,680 Speaker 4: that first game, one of the massive takeaways was, oh 1157 00:59:52,720 --> 00:59:56,360 Speaker 4: my gosh, they just took advantage of Buffalo's eyes and 1158 00:59:56,400 --> 00:59:59,400 Speaker 4: they had them completely running side to side and it 1159 00:59:59,520 --> 01:00:02,960 Speaker 4: just they Caden's space and it was kind of, you know, 1160 01:00:03,400 --> 01:00:06,640 Speaker 4: in a mocking way, so easy for Baltimore. So to 1161 01:00:06,680 --> 01:00:10,040 Speaker 4: have the discipline of that group back is going to 1162 01:00:10,120 --> 01:00:13,320 Speaker 4: be huge. To have the speed of that group back 1163 01:00:13,760 --> 01:00:16,360 Speaker 4: is going to be huge. I also think just having 1164 01:00:16,360 --> 01:00:18,600 Speaker 4: the ability and I'm not saying that it's going to 1165 01:00:18,640 --> 01:00:21,640 Speaker 4: be a you know, a pit to shut out by Milano, 1166 01:00:21,720 --> 01:00:24,160 Speaker 4: but just to have the ability for Milano to be 1167 01:00:24,280 --> 01:00:27,120 Speaker 4: in some situations a spy on them are it's going 1168 01:00:27,160 --> 01:00:28,640 Speaker 4: to be a huge deal in some of those past 1169 01:00:28,640 --> 01:00:31,400 Speaker 4: game situations. We talked about this yesterday, you know, with 1170 01:00:31,480 --> 01:00:34,160 Speaker 4: the unknown of Jay Flowers. Does he play, because it's 1171 01:00:34,160 --> 01:00:36,760 Speaker 4: a big deal if he doesn't, and how healthy is 1172 01:00:36,760 --> 01:00:38,760 Speaker 4: he going to be. We've watched this defense be a 1173 01:00:38,800 --> 01:00:41,960 Speaker 4: little bit more comfortable playing some man coverage over the 1174 01:00:42,000 --> 01:00:44,800 Speaker 4: past five, six, seven weeks than in the past. I 1175 01:00:44,840 --> 01:00:47,680 Speaker 4: think that'd be something that'd be even more comfortable playing 1176 01:00:47,800 --> 01:00:50,760 Speaker 4: if there is no Jay Flowers. And if you're doing that, 1177 01:00:50,880 --> 01:00:52,880 Speaker 4: you want to have eyes on Lamar Jackson, and I 1178 01:00:52,920 --> 01:00:55,560 Speaker 4: think Milana would be a prime candidate to be that 1179 01:00:55,640 --> 01:00:56,920 Speaker 4: person more often than not. 1180 01:00:57,640 --> 01:00:59,600 Speaker 1: Let's flip it over and talk about Josh Allen. In 1181 01:00:59,600 --> 01:01:02,000 Speaker 1: the past game, we saw once again for the second 1182 01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:04,600 Speaker 1: week in a row. Actually Curtis Samuel was the leading 1183 01:01:04,600 --> 01:01:06,200 Speaker 1: receiver for the Bills. They got him in the game 1184 01:01:06,240 --> 01:01:08,760 Speaker 1: against the Patriots to get him kind of his feet 1185 01:01:08,800 --> 01:01:10,440 Speaker 1: back under him. Then he came out and had a 1186 01:01:10,440 --> 01:01:13,520 Speaker 1: big game again this last week. The tight ends combined 1187 01:01:13,560 --> 01:01:15,960 Speaker 1: for six catches. I mean, Josh was twenty to twenty 1188 01:01:16,000 --> 01:01:19,400 Speaker 1: six and the Ravens, and I think as a result 1189 01:01:19,440 --> 01:01:22,720 Speaker 1: of teams trying to keep up with Lamar and Derrick Henry. 1190 01:01:24,280 --> 01:01:26,959 Speaker 1: Teams are throwing the football on these guys. They're they're 1191 01:01:27,080 --> 01:01:29,520 Speaker 1: one of the lowest earning first thirty first in the 1192 01:01:29,560 --> 01:01:32,360 Speaker 1: league in pass defense, probably because nobody can take the 1193 01:01:32,400 --> 01:01:34,919 Speaker 1: time to run the ball because they're trying to catch 1194 01:01:35,120 --> 01:01:38,080 Speaker 1: Lamar and Derreck Henry on the scoreboard. But still, nevertheless 1195 01:01:38,600 --> 01:01:40,560 Speaker 1: there is how do you think Josh Allen, the weapons 1196 01:01:40,600 --> 01:01:44,560 Speaker 1: he's got mesh against the secondary and the pass rush. 1197 01:01:44,840 --> 01:01:47,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, that pass defense has gotten a lot better ever 1198 01:01:47,480 --> 01:01:49,920 Speaker 4: since they moved Hamilton back and Humphrey gone inside and 1199 01:01:49,920 --> 01:01:52,640 Speaker 4: Wiggins on the outside. I think they're really disciplined with 1200 01:01:52,680 --> 01:01:54,840 Speaker 4: their coverage right now. They're not giving up a ton 1201 01:01:54,880 --> 01:01:57,120 Speaker 4: of big plays and everyone's going to point to you know, 1202 01:01:57,280 --> 01:01:59,600 Speaker 4: Steeers had two. You know, one of them was a 1203 01:01:59,640 --> 01:02:02,360 Speaker 4: perfect toll shot by Russell Wilson. I think the past 1204 01:02:02,360 --> 01:02:06,680 Speaker 4: game is this. You know, my big takeaway of Josh's 1205 01:02:06,680 --> 01:02:10,160 Speaker 4: past performance is again the discipline. And I do think 1206 01:02:10,200 --> 01:02:13,200 Speaker 4: that there was a they the way they structured the 1207 01:02:13,240 --> 01:02:13,680 Speaker 4: pass game. 1208 01:02:13,720 --> 01:02:15,600 Speaker 1: It was he to low, ID to low. 1209 01:02:15,920 --> 01:02:17,600 Speaker 4: He wasn't trying to see four or five things. 1210 01:02:17,600 --> 01:02:19,040 Speaker 3: It was one, two, ID to low. 1211 01:02:18,920 --> 01:02:21,280 Speaker 4: And he was very disciplined in that decision making. So 1212 01:02:21,360 --> 01:02:24,320 Speaker 4: that's going to be needed again. You've got to figure 1213 01:02:24,320 --> 01:02:27,480 Speaker 4: out ways to take shots at Brandon Stevens. As much 1214 01:02:27,520 --> 01:02:31,320 Speaker 4: as I respect him as a pro, Number twenty one 1215 01:02:31,400 --> 01:02:34,680 Speaker 4: is the defensive back that teams have had consistent success against, 1216 01:02:34,720 --> 01:02:36,920 Speaker 4: and so you got to take shots at him. I 1217 01:02:36,960 --> 01:02:40,240 Speaker 4: think Amari is a big guy in that game when 1218 01:02:40,240 --> 01:02:42,760 Speaker 4: they present it. I think Kean Tolman is a big 1219 01:02:42,800 --> 01:02:45,720 Speaker 4: guy in that game when they present it. Shakira versus 1220 01:02:45,800 --> 01:02:48,560 Speaker 4: Humphrey matchup is going to be awesome. You know, guys, 1221 01:02:48,600 --> 01:02:51,360 Speaker 4: I really think I'm talking about all this scheme and 1222 01:02:51,400 --> 01:02:54,560 Speaker 4: all that. I really believe this game in many ways 1223 01:02:54,560 --> 01:02:57,280 Speaker 4: of coming down to what quarter quarterback kind of plays 1224 01:02:57,320 --> 01:02:59,880 Speaker 4: their game. You know, what quarterback can handle them on 1225 01:03:00,760 --> 01:03:03,200 Speaker 4: and way he doesn't have to do too much, don't 1226 01:03:03,200 --> 01:03:05,040 Speaker 4: do too much, and when you have to kind of 1227 01:03:05,080 --> 01:03:07,800 Speaker 4: go make a play, make that play. And so because 1228 01:03:07,840 --> 01:03:11,680 Speaker 4: both of these players, while remarkable, have had a lot 1229 01:03:11,680 --> 01:03:14,320 Speaker 4: of their career when they've done just that and have 1230 01:03:14,440 --> 01:03:16,840 Speaker 4: had moments when they've tried to do too much or 1231 01:03:17,200 --> 01:03:19,280 Speaker 4: you know, and gotten ahead of themselves a little bit. 1232 01:03:19,320 --> 01:03:22,000 Speaker 4: And I think whatever guy kind of placed it that 1233 01:03:22,160 --> 01:03:26,080 Speaker 4: discipline to style and then four or five times ratcheted 1234 01:03:26,160 --> 01:03:27,760 Speaker 4: up when it's needed. I think goes a long way 1235 01:03:27,800 --> 01:03:29,040 Speaker 4: to see and who wins. 1236 01:03:29,480 --> 01:03:32,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, good stuff, Dan, thanks as always for the time. 1237 01:03:32,280 --> 01:03:35,120 Speaker 2: We appreciate it. Enjoy this game this weekend. It's gonna 1238 01:03:35,160 --> 01:03:37,080 Speaker 2: be tight, have fun, guys, it's gonna be awesome. Yeah, 1239 01:03:37,080 --> 01:03:39,720 Speaker 2: I enjoy it all right. That's Stani Rolowski joining us 1240 01:03:39,720 --> 01:03:43,640 Speaker 2: as he does every Tuesday. And yeah, I mean, I 1241 01:03:43,640 --> 01:03:46,080 Speaker 2: think we're kind of expecting a back and forth game. 1242 01:03:46,080 --> 01:03:47,720 Speaker 2: I think there's gonna be times where each of these 1243 01:03:47,760 --> 01:03:51,480 Speaker 2: teams facing uphill battle on the scoreboard and who can 1244 01:03:51,560 --> 01:03:55,600 Speaker 2: keep responding. And I think his point about the decision 1245 01:03:55,640 --> 01:03:59,080 Speaker 2: making of the quarterbacks. You know, this is a Bills 1246 01:03:59,160 --> 01:04:02,280 Speaker 2: quarterback who has removed ill advised decisions from his game. 1247 01:04:03,720 --> 01:04:06,120 Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson has the fewest turnovers he's ever had in 1248 01:04:06,160 --> 01:04:11,160 Speaker 2: a single season in his career, who stays disciplined in 1249 01:04:11,280 --> 01:04:14,120 Speaker 2: playing within themselves and within the framework of how the 1250 01:04:14,160 --> 01:04:17,120 Speaker 2: game is unfolding and not try to do too much 1251 01:04:17,880 --> 01:04:19,840 Speaker 2: because there will be that temptation at times. 1252 01:04:19,880 --> 01:04:24,520 Speaker 1: I was watching the game two years ago, perhaps in Baltimore, 1253 01:04:24,520 --> 01:04:26,600 Speaker 1: where the Bills came back and won with the last 1254 01:04:26,640 --> 01:04:30,200 Speaker 1: play of the game with twenty three to twenty. That's 1255 01:04:30,240 --> 01:04:31,880 Speaker 1: kind of what I'm looking at this game thing. And 1256 01:04:31,880 --> 01:04:34,240 Speaker 1: that's why clock management the game. Yeah, when I was 1257 01:04:34,280 --> 01:04:36,000 Speaker 1: referencing earlier. Yeah, and if you want to go back 1258 01:04:36,000 --> 01:04:38,160 Speaker 1: and look at that one and get some reassurances to 1259 01:04:38,200 --> 01:04:39,959 Speaker 1: how the Bills handled the end of the game clock 1260 01:04:40,040 --> 01:04:44,080 Speaker 1: they did it to perfection in that game. It's but 1261 01:04:44,160 --> 01:04:48,400 Speaker 1: it's you know, Bills were down. I think they were 1262 01:04:48,440 --> 01:04:51,120 Speaker 1: down twenty to seven, but they were certainly down twenty 1263 01:04:51,200 --> 01:04:54,120 Speaker 1: to ten, came back and beat him and scored well, 1264 01:04:54,120 --> 01:04:58,480 Speaker 1: they scored seventeen unanswered, so they were down fourteen and 1265 01:05:00,600 --> 01:05:04,240 Speaker 1: came back and won. That's the one where Poyer made 1266 01:05:04,240 --> 01:05:05,920 Speaker 1: the interception in the end zone on one of the 1267 01:05:06,000 --> 01:05:08,720 Speaker 1: late drives for Baltimore. And that's when Poyer punctured his 1268 01:05:08,800 --> 01:05:10,600 Speaker 1: rib when he had to drive to Kansas City the 1269 01:05:10,640 --> 01:05:12,760 Speaker 1: next week. Yep, Brownie reminded me of that. So that's 1270 01:05:12,880 --> 01:05:14,840 Speaker 1: kind of where the time frame we're talking about. And 1271 01:05:15,400 --> 01:05:19,240 Speaker 1: it was a great game, a really great game, and 1272 01:05:21,440 --> 01:05:23,160 Speaker 1: I kind of think this was gonna look like that. 1273 01:05:23,720 --> 01:05:24,919 Speaker 3: You know, it's gonna be tight. 1274 01:05:24,960 --> 01:05:26,800 Speaker 1: It's gonna come down to who can make a play 1275 01:05:26,840 --> 01:05:28,800 Speaker 1: here and there, who can stay on the field, who 1276 01:05:29,040 --> 01:05:31,439 Speaker 1: you know points will be at a premium. I think 1277 01:05:31,480 --> 01:05:33,720 Speaker 1: this might be one of those games where on a 1278 01:05:33,800 --> 01:05:34,480 Speaker 1: fourth and. 1279 01:05:35,840 --> 01:05:38,960 Speaker 3: Twenty to three, Yeah, you come back and it's like. 1280 01:05:40,880 --> 01:05:42,600 Speaker 1: Fourth and three or fourth and four. 1281 01:05:42,760 --> 01:05:43,880 Speaker 3: I mean they made it twenty to ten. 1282 01:05:43,920 --> 01:05:45,640 Speaker 1: At the hand, you might try the field goal instead 1283 01:05:45,680 --> 01:05:48,400 Speaker 1: of going for it, you know, because you know points 1284 01:05:48,440 --> 01:05:51,720 Speaker 1: are gonna be really hard to come by. Oh you 1285 01:05:51,760 --> 01:05:54,680 Speaker 1: think they will. I mean, I don't know that Baltimore. 1286 01:05:55,000 --> 01:05:57,560 Speaker 1: Both these offenses are wagons. It could be you know, 1287 01:05:58,640 --> 01:05:59,680 Speaker 1: forty two, forty four. 1288 01:06:00,000 --> 01:06:02,480 Speaker 2: It was in LA two in the red zone. Yeah, yeah, 1289 01:06:02,520 --> 01:06:05,160 Speaker 2: one and two in the red zone. Like, there could 1290 01:06:05,200 --> 01:06:07,000 Speaker 2: be some points in this one. There might People are 1291 01:06:07,040 --> 01:06:09,520 Speaker 2: saying low twenties, and I don't know, maybe. 1292 01:06:09,320 --> 01:06:11,080 Speaker 1: That's what it was the last time at that game 1293 01:06:11,080 --> 01:06:12,120 Speaker 1: that we're talking about. 1294 01:06:12,360 --> 01:06:14,320 Speaker 3: I think both offenses are better than they were two 1295 01:06:14,400 --> 01:06:14,880 Speaker 3: years ago. 1296 01:06:15,400 --> 01:06:17,960 Speaker 1: I think both offenses are better than they were in 1297 01:06:18,120 --> 01:06:21,720 Speaker 1: two months two months ago. Yeah, right, so we'll see. 1298 01:06:21,760 --> 01:06:25,160 Speaker 1: I know Baltimore really started putting it together in that 1299 01:06:25,240 --> 01:06:27,600 Speaker 1: game against Buffalo. They scored twenty eight against Dallas, then 1300 01:06:27,680 --> 01:06:31,280 Speaker 1: thirty five, forty one, thirty forty one, you know, and 1301 01:06:31,320 --> 01:06:33,480 Speaker 1: then they dropped one to Cleveland, which a team, it 1302 01:06:33,640 --> 01:06:35,760 Speaker 1: was a team at that point they were looking completely past. 1303 01:06:35,840 --> 01:06:38,680 Speaker 1: And they came back against the Broncos, the team that 1304 01:06:38,680 --> 01:06:40,960 Speaker 1: the Bills just beating the playoffs. They beat the Broncos 1305 01:06:41,000 --> 01:06:44,040 Speaker 1: forty one to ten, and then they beat the Bengals 1306 01:06:44,080 --> 01:06:49,640 Speaker 1: thirty five thirty four. So they're hanging some points up. 1307 01:06:50,440 --> 01:06:52,440 Speaker 1: I mean, so were the Bills. I mean both these teams. 1308 01:06:52,680 --> 01:06:55,400 Speaker 1: So it's you know, make of that what you will. 1309 01:06:57,120 --> 01:06:59,840 Speaker 1: I think this might be. And obviously, since it's six 1310 01:07:00,040 --> 01:07:01,880 Speaker 1: thirty on Sunday night, a lot of people think this 1311 01:07:01,920 --> 01:07:03,000 Speaker 1: is going to be quite the game. 1312 01:07:03,720 --> 01:07:06,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, to get what you think of the game, you 1313 01:07:06,240 --> 01:07:08,280 Speaker 2: can call us at eight oh three five point fifty 1314 01:07:08,320 --> 01:07:10,480 Speaker 2: one eight eight eight five fifty two, five point fifty. 1315 01:07:11,240 --> 01:07:14,040 Speaker 2: Have the Bills changed enough from the last matchup in 1316 01:07:14,080 --> 01:07:16,840 Speaker 2: week four to beat the Ravens this time around? You 1317 01:07:16,920 --> 01:07:19,040 Speaker 2: let us know we got open lines for you, or 1318 01:07:19,080 --> 01:07:20,960 Speaker 2: you can hit us up on the tweet sheet at 1319 01:07:21,000 --> 01:07:21,720 Speaker 2: one Bills Live. 1320 01:07:21,800 --> 01:07:23,320 Speaker 3: We're going to crack that open right now. 1321 01:07:23,880 --> 01:07:26,240 Speaker 2: And tweet sheet brought to you by Corgan Moving Systems, 1322 01:07:26,240 --> 01:07:30,680 Speaker 2: the official equipment moving company of the Buffalo Bills. Hedgi says, well, 1323 01:07:30,720 --> 01:07:33,200 Speaker 2: two things, and I'll stay in the trenches. Bill's O 1324 01:07:33,320 --> 01:07:36,600 Speaker 2: line continues to play exceptionally well and the defensive line 1325 01:07:36,600 --> 01:07:39,920 Speaker 2: continues to struggle getting pressure. The latter will kill us 1326 01:07:40,240 --> 01:07:43,200 Speaker 2: Sunday against the Ravens. I don't think there's any question 1327 01:07:43,280 --> 01:07:46,520 Speaker 2: it has to be better. Wasn't good enough in the 1328 01:07:46,560 --> 01:07:49,240 Speaker 2: first half against the Broncos and got a little bit 1329 01:07:49,280 --> 01:07:51,440 Speaker 2: better in the second half where the score got lopsided 1330 01:07:51,440 --> 01:07:53,880 Speaker 2: and your knew Denver was in pass mode. So if 1331 01:07:53,880 --> 01:07:56,880 Speaker 2: you can somehow get up on the Ravens, I think 1332 01:07:56,960 --> 01:08:00,440 Speaker 2: that's beneficial of Buffalo's pass rush because Henry's running it 1333 01:08:00,560 --> 01:08:03,800 Speaker 2: less and what your defense is better built for is 1334 01:08:03,880 --> 01:08:06,600 Speaker 2: rushing the passer. Even though they haven't had a tremendous 1335 01:08:06,600 --> 01:08:11,240 Speaker 2: amount of success, but that's a big if. Bobby Babbage 1336 01:08:11,280 --> 01:08:13,560 Speaker 2: has had to call up blitzes to try to generate 1337 01:08:13,600 --> 01:08:16,880 Speaker 2: better pressure and affect the quarterback more consistently, and even 1338 01:08:16,960 --> 01:08:18,479 Speaker 2: that didn't work at times last week. 1339 01:08:18,520 --> 01:08:20,479 Speaker 1: And one of the problems with that is you've got 1340 01:08:20,479 --> 01:08:22,960 Speaker 1: a time it right, the quarterback can't see it coming. 1341 01:08:23,000 --> 01:08:24,880 Speaker 1: There's got to be at a point where you think 1342 01:08:24,880 --> 01:08:28,120 Speaker 1: it's a neutral down. They're not gonna do that or 1343 01:08:28,439 --> 01:08:31,120 Speaker 1: against a certain set, So there's it's situational when you 1344 01:08:31,240 --> 01:08:34,120 Speaker 1: actually actually want to call it. Otherwise they see it coming, 1345 01:08:34,200 --> 01:08:38,040 Speaker 1: they're gonna call a beater right away and you're gonna 1346 01:08:38,040 --> 01:08:39,800 Speaker 1: pay the price for it. So you can't just go 1347 01:08:39,880 --> 01:08:43,439 Speaker 1: out and blitz blitz blitz blitz blitz, because sooner or 1348 01:08:43,520 --> 01:08:45,639 Speaker 1: later they're gonna catch up with you and you can 1349 01:08:45,680 --> 01:08:49,479 Speaker 1: be you start to be predictable, so you know you're 1350 01:08:49,520 --> 01:08:51,800 Speaker 1: gonna have to get a pass rush from four guys 1351 01:08:51,840 --> 01:08:56,160 Speaker 1: at some point, and this is a hard group to 1352 01:08:56,160 --> 01:08:56,759 Speaker 1: do that against. 1353 01:08:57,479 --> 01:08:59,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, from Duel. 1354 01:08:59,200 --> 01:09:01,760 Speaker 2: On the tweets sheet, the Ravens week four were one 1355 01:09:01,800 --> 01:09:05,080 Speaker 2: and two, desperate and at home. This Bill's defense was 1356 01:09:05,120 --> 01:09:07,360 Speaker 2: banged up and inexperienced as a whole. You can watch 1357 01:09:07,400 --> 01:09:09,439 Speaker 2: all the tape on Lamar and Henry, but until you 1358 01:09:09,439 --> 01:09:11,479 Speaker 2: play them, you don't get it. Now they come to 1359 01:09:11,520 --> 01:09:13,680 Speaker 2: our house in a winner, go home game. I like 1360 01:09:13,920 --> 01:09:18,839 Speaker 2: our chances, Jeremy says on the tweetsheet. Three defensive starters 1361 01:09:18,840 --> 01:09:22,280 Speaker 2: are back, Rap and Shakir hopefully will be in the 1362 01:09:22,280 --> 01:09:26,240 Speaker 2: whole time we're at home and the perennial Josh slump 1363 01:09:26,600 --> 01:09:29,519 Speaker 2: came and went during those two weeks. We're also at 1364 01:09:29,560 --> 01:09:33,040 Speaker 2: home with Fits leading the charge. A lot of change. 1365 01:09:32,680 --> 01:09:33,200 Speaker 3: For the good. 1366 01:09:33,400 --> 01:09:35,679 Speaker 2: I forgot that rap got shaken up when he tried 1367 01:09:35,680 --> 01:09:38,439 Speaker 2: to make that tackle and his head ran into the 1368 01:09:38,479 --> 01:09:41,680 Speaker 2: thigh board of Derrick Henry, and he went out for 1369 01:09:41,720 --> 01:09:44,240 Speaker 2: a spell because he got his bell rung pretty good. 1370 01:09:45,120 --> 01:09:47,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't and listen, I like Fits as much 1371 01:09:47,240 --> 01:09:49,320 Speaker 1: as anybody. I don't know that he's gonna actually carry 1372 01:09:49,360 --> 01:09:54,080 Speaker 1: the day. It's gonna be fun. But yeah, all that 1373 01:09:54,120 --> 01:09:56,680 Speaker 1: other stuff does go into the recipe for trying to 1374 01:09:56,680 --> 01:09:59,800 Speaker 1: win this game. Staying healthy and keeping your guys on 1375 01:09:59,840 --> 01:10:02,599 Speaker 1: the not losing anybody during the game is also a big, 1376 01:10:02,680 --> 01:10:03,400 Speaker 1: big plus. 1377 01:10:03,640 --> 01:10:05,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, Joe says. 1378 01:10:05,240 --> 01:10:07,840 Speaker 2: Having Bernard, Milano and Johnson are the obvious ones to 1379 01:10:07,880 --> 01:10:10,519 Speaker 2: point out on defense, but from the offensive side, Coleman 1380 01:10:10,520 --> 01:10:13,599 Speaker 2: now has a full season of experience, They've added Cooper 1381 01:10:13,960 --> 01:10:16,880 Speaker 2: and Ty Johnson has been wildly productive since he started 1382 01:10:16,880 --> 01:10:20,080 Speaker 2: getting more touches. Those are all valid points, you know. 1383 01:10:20,160 --> 01:10:25,680 Speaker 2: I think Cooper and Coleman are two size receivers that 1384 01:10:25,720 --> 01:10:28,120 Speaker 2: can make a difference, particularly down in the red zone. 1385 01:10:28,520 --> 01:10:30,960 Speaker 2: I mean, Coleman is an above the rim player. We 1386 01:10:31,000 --> 01:10:33,240 Speaker 2: know that, and you know. 1387 01:10:33,200 --> 01:10:34,120 Speaker 3: Cooper is Cooper. 1388 01:10:34,240 --> 01:10:37,479 Speaker 2: So you add those two guys to the mix, and 1389 01:10:37,640 --> 01:10:41,479 Speaker 2: the passing game is suddenly more formidable for Baltimore to defend. 1390 01:10:41,880 --> 01:10:45,840 Speaker 2: So right, I think those are valid points. And yes, 1391 01:10:45,880 --> 01:10:48,080 Speaker 2: Ty Johnson has been a playmaker in the second half 1392 01:10:48,120 --> 01:10:48,599 Speaker 2: of the season. 1393 01:10:49,280 --> 01:10:52,599 Speaker 1: Josh has said had glowing things to say about Ty 1394 01:10:52,720 --> 01:10:55,519 Speaker 1: Johnson and his abilities on third down, and he's given 1395 01:10:55,560 --> 01:10:58,840 Speaker 1: the Bills just one more guy the defenses have to 1396 01:10:58,920 --> 01:11:02,320 Speaker 1: really worry about. It's you don't just line when you 1397 01:11:02,360 --> 01:11:04,720 Speaker 1: line these guys up. Some teams, some of these guys 1398 01:11:04,800 --> 01:11:06,639 Speaker 1: on third down. Some of these teams have guys out there. 1399 01:11:06,680 --> 01:11:08,760 Speaker 1: They're lining them up just to line them up. They 1400 01:11:08,800 --> 01:11:10,720 Speaker 1: haven't gone to those guy on a third down in 1401 01:11:11,040 --> 01:11:13,960 Speaker 1: all season. He has never gotten a target on third down. 1402 01:11:14,040 --> 01:11:17,640 Speaker 1: Teams know that all these guys are getting targets, not 1403 01:11:18,080 --> 01:11:22,280 Speaker 1: first down, second down, third down, fourth down. Ty Johnson's 1404 01:11:22,280 --> 01:11:27,120 Speaker 1: getting a target on fourth down out a shotgun. 1405 01:11:26,560 --> 01:11:28,320 Speaker 3: Spread off and off strip play. 1406 01:11:28,479 --> 01:11:30,440 Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean I brought that up to Dan Orlowski. 1407 01:11:30,520 --> 01:11:32,439 Speaker 1: I was shocked when they got lined up in that 1408 01:11:32,560 --> 01:11:35,760 Speaker 1: on a fourth and one, and he's like, well, the 1409 01:11:35,800 --> 01:11:38,200 Speaker 1: game and it was still in doubt. But at this 1410 01:11:38,320 --> 01:11:41,479 Speaker 1: point too, the Broncos were I think the Bills felt 1411 01:11:41,479 --> 01:11:45,639 Speaker 1: like they had a handle on this, but lining up 1412 01:11:45,800 --> 01:11:50,360 Speaker 1: shotgun fourth and one and spreading it out, I was 1413 01:11:50,520 --> 01:11:52,880 Speaker 1: not went for a touchdown, So what do I know? Right? 1414 01:11:53,560 --> 01:11:55,600 Speaker 1: And the guy had a day and a half to 1415 01:11:55,640 --> 01:11:58,600 Speaker 1: find an open receiver, so what do I know? But 1416 01:11:58,680 --> 01:12:04,280 Speaker 1: still I was shocked by that. Yeah, and so you know, yeah, 1417 01:12:04,320 --> 01:12:06,120 Speaker 1: TDD Johnson or fourth and one. So all these guys are 1418 01:12:06,120 --> 01:12:10,599 Speaker 1: getting targets everywhere, at any position, in any situation, any 1419 01:12:10,640 --> 01:12:13,000 Speaker 1: down and distance, and it's a problem. 1420 01:12:13,360 --> 01:12:16,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, let's get back to the phones to Ryan in Toronto, 1421 01:12:17,000 --> 01:12:18,000 Speaker 2: we go, what do you got for us? 1422 01:12:18,040 --> 01:12:21,719 Speaker 12: Ryan, Chris Steve love the show, guys, Happy Tuesday. 1423 01:12:22,400 --> 01:12:22,720 Speaker 1: Thank you. 1424 01:12:23,320 --> 01:12:27,240 Speaker 12: First of all, you're a question was has the Bills 1425 01:12:27,240 --> 01:12:30,639 Speaker 12: got better? Yes, they have got better, They got healthier, 1426 01:12:30,640 --> 01:12:34,320 Speaker 12: they got a Mani Hooper. At the same token, Baltimore 1427 01:12:34,600 --> 01:12:38,679 Speaker 12: defense hast gotten better as well. Now, secondly, they're talking 1428 01:12:38,680 --> 01:12:43,960 Speaker 12: about Minnesota Vikings and the fourteen win team. Answer you, guys, 1429 01:12:44,160 --> 01:12:47,960 Speaker 12: my opinion that a far team in the NFL this season. 1430 01:12:48,880 --> 01:12:52,479 Speaker 12: These guys only be two teams the regular season, which 1431 01:12:52,479 --> 01:12:55,680 Speaker 12: is Green Bay and Houston that are in the playoffs, 1432 01:12:55,720 --> 01:12:59,160 Speaker 12: nobody else and Kevin O'Connell should not be favored to 1433 01:12:59,160 --> 01:13:01,479 Speaker 12: be the court to the year. He's a fraud. He 1434 01:13:01,600 --> 01:13:03,559 Speaker 12: got to be. He can have to step up the 1435 01:13:04,320 --> 01:13:08,160 Speaker 12: big game, a big stage, and that's how I got 1436 01:13:08,280 --> 01:13:11,240 Speaker 12: to say it. But I think these guys, Baltimore and Raymonds, 1437 01:13:11,360 --> 01:13:14,680 Speaker 12: they both got better in two different ways. And on 1438 01:13:14,720 --> 01:13:17,200 Speaker 12: the on the head, I think who had the ball 1439 01:13:17,240 --> 01:13:19,920 Speaker 12: at the end between the Raymonds and Bills is going 1440 01:13:20,000 --> 01:13:22,120 Speaker 12: to win the game, and hopefully it's Josh has the 1441 01:13:22,160 --> 01:13:24,160 Speaker 12: ball at the end and takes a knee for the 1442 01:13:24,240 --> 01:13:25,400 Speaker 12: w times are taking my. 1443 01:13:25,479 --> 01:13:26,760 Speaker 3: Call, all right, thanks Ryan. 1444 01:13:26,840 --> 01:13:29,800 Speaker 2: Yet I think everybody's expecting a nip and tuck game 1445 01:13:29,800 --> 01:13:31,479 Speaker 2: here between the Bills and the Ravens, So we could 1446 01:13:31,520 --> 01:13:35,920 Speaker 2: come down to who has the ball last, could Yeah. 1447 01:13:36,439 --> 01:13:38,160 Speaker 1: I think it's going to be a tight game, and 1448 01:13:38,240 --> 01:13:39,839 Speaker 1: it's going to be one of those games where somebody's 1449 01:13:39,880 --> 01:13:42,920 Speaker 1: going to make a play, and well, there may be 1450 01:13:42,920 --> 01:13:45,680 Speaker 1: a bunch of guys that make plays, yeah, but it's 1451 01:13:45,720 --> 01:13:48,680 Speaker 1: going to be both these offenses are good enough to 1452 01:13:48,720 --> 01:13:52,080 Speaker 1: overcome a ton so you got to make a play, 1453 01:13:53,040 --> 01:13:55,280 Speaker 1: and it's got to be at a time late in 1454 01:13:55,280 --> 01:13:58,360 Speaker 1: the game where they can't recover. There's no time. That's 1455 01:13:58,400 --> 01:14:00,320 Speaker 1: what it comes down to in this that I was 1456 01:14:00,320 --> 01:14:06,360 Speaker 1: talking about, this game they played in Baltimore two years ago. Yeah, 1457 01:14:06,560 --> 01:14:08,800 Speaker 1: Poyer picks that ball off in the end zone. Bill's 1458 01:14:08,840 --> 01:14:11,000 Speaker 1: go to link the field touchdown or for a field goal, 1459 01:14:11,080 --> 01:14:13,560 Speaker 1: and that's it. Time's over. Times up. Guy makes a 1460 01:14:13,600 --> 01:14:18,880 Speaker 1: play late, you don't get a chance to recover. You know, now, 1461 01:14:19,720 --> 01:14:20,960 Speaker 1: if the Bills would have had to go to the 1462 01:14:21,040 --> 01:14:23,400 Speaker 1: length of the field to get a touchdown to tie it, 1463 01:14:24,280 --> 01:14:26,320 Speaker 1: as was the would have been the case had Poyer 1464 01:14:26,360 --> 01:14:28,719 Speaker 1: not intercepted it, you still don't know if you wouldn't 1465 01:14:28,720 --> 01:14:34,080 Speaker 1: have done it. That's that's the kind of game you're 1466 01:14:34,080 --> 01:14:37,000 Speaker 1: in for. This is it's gonna be high anxiety. There's 1467 01:14:37,040 --> 01:14:39,120 Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of angst going into this game, 1468 01:14:39,200 --> 01:14:42,799 Speaker 1: and they're gonna make plays, and the Bills will make plays. 1469 01:14:42,800 --> 01:14:44,880 Speaker 1: It's I think this is gonna be a fantastic game. 1470 01:14:45,800 --> 01:14:46,920 Speaker 3: Break time for us here. 1471 01:14:47,040 --> 01:14:49,240 Speaker 2: When we come back, we head down to the Carolina's 1472 01:14:49,280 --> 01:14:51,800 Speaker 2: Tim in South Carolina.

I'm a little surprised 1487 01:15:41,960 --> 01:15:45,000 Speaker 1: by their ability to run the ball as Willows as 1488 01:15:45,040 --> 01:15:49,080 Speaker 1: well as they did. They certainly James Cook deserves a 1489 01:15:49,120 --> 01:15:54,080 Speaker 1: lot of credit for what he did and for the 1490 01:15:54,160 --> 01:15:57,479 Speaker 1: running game Ty Johnson as well his contributions. Ray Davis 1491 01:15:57,520 --> 01:16:03,400 Speaker 1: was in there, took the big hit. But I'm yeah, 1492 01:16:03,439 --> 01:16:05,200 Speaker 1: we'll see. I mean, if they can obviously, if they 1493 01:16:05,200 --> 01:16:07,839 Speaker 1: can run the ball like they did last week against 1494 01:16:07,840 --> 01:16:11,120 Speaker 1: this team, this becomes a different matchup. 1495 01:16:11,840 --> 01:16:13,080 Speaker 3: Yes, I would agree. 1496 01:16:14,200 --> 01:16:19,800 Speaker 2: Cooling down Buffalo's red zone touchdown efficiency on offense. They 1497 01:16:19,840 --> 01:16:23,160 Speaker 2: went one for five last week, and there are varying 1498 01:16:23,200 --> 01:16:26,040 Speaker 2: reasons for that. I think we'd like to believe it's 1499 01:16:26,080 --> 01:16:28,160 Speaker 2: more of a one off because the Bills have been 1500 01:16:28,200 --> 01:16:31,160 Speaker 2: remarkably consistent down there on the offensive side of the ball, 1501 01:16:31,479 --> 01:16:34,599 Speaker 2: and even despite the one for five last last week, 1502 01:16:35,000 --> 01:16:37,880 Speaker 2: for the season, they were second best in red zone 1503 01:16:37,920 --> 01:16:40,920 Speaker 2: touchdown efficiency at over seventy one percent success. 1504 01:16:41,479 --> 01:16:43,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, and you look at what happened last week in 1505 01:16:43,240 --> 01:16:47,519 Speaker 1: the red zone. They missed a blatant non call on 1506 01:16:48,320 --> 01:16:50,439 Speaker 1: kin Kaid, which would have given even if they didn't 1507 01:16:50,640 --> 01:16:53,599 Speaker 1: get the touchdown, would have given them first in goal 1508 01:16:53,640 --> 01:16:59,120 Speaker 1: on the one that changes that entire sequence. They come 1509 01:16:59,160 --> 01:17:01,400 Speaker 1: away with their from with a touchdown, and that then there, 1510 01:17:01,680 --> 01:17:03,960 Speaker 1: and then there was another I can't remember the exact 1511 01:17:04,240 --> 01:17:06,120 Speaker 1: it would have been. It should have been three for five, 1512 01:17:06,720 --> 01:17:10,760 Speaker 1: not one for five. So, uh, they're not They weren't 1513 01:17:10,800 --> 01:17:13,360 Speaker 1: that bad and they weren't that far off of being 1514 01:17:13,520 --> 01:17:16,680 Speaker 1: what they usually are down there, So I'm I'm not 1515 01:17:16,760 --> 01:17:20,040 Speaker 1: really that concerned. Like you said, Brownie, they there's no 1516 01:17:20,080 --> 01:17:23,600 Speaker 1: reason to think they aren't gonna be able to duplicate 1517 01:17:23,600 --> 01:17:26,200 Speaker 1: their production down there the way they have. I certainly 1518 01:17:26,400 --> 01:17:29,880 Speaker 1: the Ravens have something to say about that. But I 1519 01:17:29,920 --> 01:17:31,920 Speaker 1: think that was a one off, like you said, And 1520 01:17:32,520 --> 01:17:34,720 Speaker 1: if you look, if you kind of grind down on 1521 01:17:34,800 --> 01:17:37,240 Speaker 1: what they did, you kind of gotta be really happy 1522 01:17:37,280 --> 01:17:41,639 Speaker 1: with it even though they got I mean, you can't. 1523 01:17:41,720 --> 01:17:42,840 Speaker 1: How can you not call that? 1524 01:17:42,960 --> 01:17:43,120 Speaker 7: Come? 1525 01:17:44,080 --> 01:17:46,519 Speaker 1: The guy is literally five feet from it, standing under 1526 01:17:46,520 --> 01:17:50,080 Speaker 1: the goad post. So whatever. I'll say this too. The 1527 01:17:50,320 --> 01:17:54,160 Speaker 1: officials are they're gonna let him play this week. That's 1528 01:17:54,320 --> 01:17:55,960 Speaker 1: what's what they do in the playoffs. They're gonna let 1529 01:17:56,000 --> 01:17:57,960 Speaker 1: him play. They did it last week. You know, Keon 1530 01:17:58,040 --> 01:17:59,680 Speaker 1: Coleman going up for a pass and can't even get 1531 01:17:59,680 --> 01:18:01,000 Speaker 1: his arm above his waists. 1532 01:18:02,280 --> 01:18:02,559 Speaker 5: Horror. 1533 01:18:02,920 --> 01:18:04,920 Speaker 1: And there's the guys standing looking at going and no, 1534 01:18:05,120 --> 01:18:06,479 Speaker 1: I don't think the ball was catchable. 1535 01:18:06,560 --> 01:18:09,560 Speaker 2: Well, Greg Russolle got Baar hugged when he should have 1536 01:18:09,600 --> 01:18:13,000 Speaker 2: had a free pass to the quarterback. Nothing there either, Right, 1537 01:18:13,280 --> 01:18:15,639 Speaker 2: So there you go. That's heating up and cooling down. 1538 01:18:15,680 --> 01:18:18,880 Speaker 2: Presented by t Mark Hvac and plumbing back to the 1539 01:18:18,920 --> 01:18:21,639 Speaker 2: phones and to Tim in South Carolina. 1540 01:18:21,720 --> 01:18:22,840 Speaker 3: What do you got for his? Tim? You're on One 1541 01:18:22,840 --> 01:18:23,320 Speaker 3: Bill's Live. 1542 01:18:24,640 --> 01:18:26,400 Speaker 16: Hi, guys, thank you so much for having me on. 1543 01:18:26,800 --> 01:18:29,639 Speaker 16: As always, I just wanted to start by saying really 1544 01:18:29,680 --> 01:18:32,719 Speaker 16: really excited for the weekend. Me and my wife haven't 1545 01:18:32,760 --> 01:18:37,280 Speaker 16: been to a Bills game since the Cincinnati playoff game. Unfortunately, 1546 01:18:38,000 --> 01:18:39,880 Speaker 16: we moved down here to Carolinas about a year and 1547 01:18:39,920 --> 01:18:41,599 Speaker 16: a half go, so we're coming back this weekend. We're 1548 01:18:41,640 --> 01:18:44,960 Speaker 16: both really really excited about it. But as far as 1549 01:18:44,960 --> 01:18:47,559 Speaker 16: the matchup goes, I think everybody kind of touched on 1550 01:18:47,600 --> 01:18:50,439 Speaker 16: it today. It's completely different a lot what the Bills 1551 01:18:50,479 --> 01:18:53,759 Speaker 16: are doing now. Right now, they're very, very versatile on offense, 1552 01:18:53,800 --> 01:18:55,360 Speaker 16: like a beach in a bunch of different ways as 1553 01:18:55,400 --> 01:18:58,160 Speaker 16: opposed to years pass. And then I'd love to ask 1554 01:18:58,200 --> 01:19:00,280 Speaker 16: you guys, if you think I'm right in this. Is 1555 01:19:00,280 --> 01:19:03,040 Speaker 16: this the most healthy the Bill's defense has ever been 1556 01:19:03,080 --> 01:19:05,719 Speaker 16: in a Divisional round game? I would be hard pressed 1557 01:19:05,760 --> 01:19:08,280 Speaker 16: to think that it wasn't. But just really really excited 1558 01:19:08,280 --> 01:19:11,080 Speaker 16: about the overall matchup. I think the Bills have enough 1559 01:19:11,080 --> 01:19:13,639 Speaker 16: in the tank to not only go toe to toe 1560 01:19:13,640 --> 01:19:15,360 Speaker 16: with this team, but I think they're healthy enough to 1561 01:19:15,439 --> 01:19:18,720 Speaker 16: even stop this team. I think that it could be 1562 01:19:18,840 --> 01:19:21,400 Speaker 16: like a thirty five twenty seven game. I think the 1563 01:19:21,400 --> 01:19:24,479 Speaker 16: Bills defense gets a late stop. But you're absolutely a 1564 01:19:24,479 --> 01:19:27,799 Speaker 16: spot hunt about Derrick Henry's got to make him run sideline, 1565 01:19:27,840 --> 01:19:30,559 Speaker 16: the sideline, not north and south. And also I would 1566 01:19:30,600 --> 01:19:33,200 Speaker 16: really like to see them have an approach kind of 1567 01:19:33,240 --> 01:19:35,880 Speaker 16: like they did the Lions game where I'm not sure 1568 01:19:35,880 --> 01:19:37,680 Speaker 16: how the Lions ends up with the ball first, but 1569 01:19:38,120 --> 01:19:40,439 Speaker 16: if you can stop them, they ended up stopping them 1570 01:19:40,439 --> 01:19:43,360 Speaker 16: twice back to back possessions. But make this Ravens team 1571 01:19:43,439 --> 01:19:45,639 Speaker 16: chase you, because I can't even remember the last time 1572 01:19:45,640 --> 01:19:47,600 Speaker 16: they've been down a couple scores, and Lamar's had to 1573 01:19:47,680 --> 01:19:49,559 Speaker 16: shoulder the burden on his arm. I think that's the 1574 01:19:49,560 --> 01:19:51,800 Speaker 16: way that you beat him. Take Henry out of the game. 1575 01:19:51,960 --> 01:19:53,120 Speaker 16: I just want to know your guys thoughts. 1576 01:19:53,120 --> 01:19:53,720 Speaker 7: Thank you so much. 1577 01:19:53,720 --> 01:19:55,640 Speaker 1: Well that sounds it sounds like a great plan. But 1578 01:19:55,960 --> 01:19:57,880 Speaker 1: let's see a score, you know, get up two scores 1579 01:19:57,880 --> 01:19:58,759 Speaker 1: on the Baltimore Ravens. 1580 01:19:58,800 --> 01:19:59,720 Speaker 3: An easier said than that. 1581 01:19:59,840 --> 01:20:02,360 Speaker 1: Right, you're right, this this is gonna be a completely 1582 01:20:02,360 --> 01:20:11,640 Speaker 1: different matchup. And this time around, I'm this Bills team 1583 01:20:11,680 --> 01:20:14,800 Speaker 1: going into this game. You're right, they're gonna be up 1584 01:20:14,800 --> 01:20:16,880 Speaker 1: against it. And I think, what's gonna happen in this game? 1585 01:20:16,920 --> 01:20:18,679 Speaker 1: You try and predict what it's gonna you said thirty 1586 01:20:18,680 --> 01:20:22,920 Speaker 1: five twenty seven and Bills get a late maybe. I 1587 01:20:23,000 --> 01:20:25,840 Speaker 1: think if you look at the way these two teams 1588 01:20:25,840 --> 01:20:30,840 Speaker 1: are constructed, this game comes down to the team that 1589 01:20:31,040 --> 01:20:37,639 Speaker 1: makes a big defensive play later in the latest part 1590 01:20:37,680 --> 01:20:39,439 Speaker 1: of the game. The last team to make a big 1591 01:20:39,479 --> 01:20:42,640 Speaker 1: defensive play is gonna win this game. It's gonna come 1592 01:20:42,680 --> 01:20:47,680 Speaker 1: down to the final defensive play that's made, much like 1593 01:20:47,760 --> 01:20:53,000 Speaker 1: it did two years ago when Poyer picked off Lamar 1594 01:20:53,080 --> 01:20:55,040 Speaker 1: in the end zone to stop the Ravens from scoring, 1595 01:20:55,040 --> 01:20:56,600 Speaker 1: and the Bills took it and went down kicked the 1596 01:20:56,600 --> 01:20:59,720 Speaker 1: field goal to win it with no time left. It's 1597 01:20:59,760 --> 01:21:02,880 Speaker 1: gonna be one of those games. The last thing about 1598 01:21:02,880 --> 01:21:04,720 Speaker 1: the defense in this game is gonna be the last 1599 01:21:04,760 --> 01:21:06,920 Speaker 1: team that makes a play in this game. It's not 1600 01:21:07,000 --> 01:21:09,080 Speaker 1: I don't think it'll be an offensive play. I think 1601 01:21:09,439 --> 01:21:11,479 Speaker 1: the defense who makes the play the last is that's 1602 01:21:11,479 --> 01:21:13,760 Speaker 1: gonna be the game. I don't I don't mean a 1603 01:21:13,840 --> 01:21:16,599 Speaker 1: touchdown to pick But like I just said, either they 1604 01:21:16,640 --> 01:21:19,439 Speaker 1: set their own offense up pass, breakup on third pass, 1605 01:21:19,439 --> 01:21:22,200 Speaker 1: fourth down, breaking up a fourth down pass, whatever. I 1606 01:21:22,240 --> 01:21:26,439 Speaker 1: think a defensive play and at the last possible moment 1607 01:21:26,479 --> 01:21:28,360 Speaker 1: of this game is going to set a team up 1608 01:21:28,400 --> 01:21:32,680 Speaker 1: for win to win. As good as these offenses are, 1609 01:21:32,720 --> 01:21:34,639 Speaker 1: that's what it's gonna be. It's gonna be somebody doing 1610 01:21:34,680 --> 01:21:36,120 Speaker 1: something on the other side of the bowl that takes 1611 01:21:36,120 --> 01:21:36,679 Speaker 1: something away. 1612 01:21:37,600 --> 01:21:41,560 Speaker 2: Let's go to Dennis in North Carolina. What's up, Dennis? 1613 01:21:41,560 --> 01:21:46,599 Speaker 17: Hey, Uh so, I think the offense looks really good. 1614 01:21:46,680 --> 01:21:51,960 Speaker 17: The defense team uh be more and more pricer. Everybody 1615 01:21:52,040 --> 01:21:59,400 Speaker 17: say that, But uh Mac mac college Holley's the receiver. 1616 01:21:59,680 --> 01:22:03,160 Speaker 17: I mean, he's luck. He hit a different guy. He 1617 01:22:03,240 --> 01:22:06,840 Speaker 17: reminded me of Steve Tay. He always popped somebody. But 1618 01:22:08,040 --> 01:22:11,520 Speaker 17: I'm looking forward to the game. Hopefully's Buffalo in Philadelphia 1619 01:22:11,800 --> 01:22:12,639 Speaker 17: in the Super Bowl. 1620 01:22:14,080 --> 01:22:19,120 Speaker 2: All right, sounds good. Appreciate the call, Dennis, Yeah, I 1621 01:22:19,120 --> 01:22:23,439 Speaker 2: think he. I mean, look, Ma's been a good guy 1622 01:22:23,560 --> 01:22:25,759 Speaker 2: everywhere on the field for this team. Whether he's blocking 1623 01:22:25,800 --> 01:22:28,040 Speaker 2: in the run game as a receiver, whether he's catching passes, 1624 01:22:28,120 --> 01:22:31,519 Speaker 2: or whether he's covering kicks. He's he's done just about 1625 01:22:31,560 --> 01:22:33,200 Speaker 2: everything for this team that's been asked of him. 1626 01:22:33,640 --> 01:22:37,040 Speaker 1: So yeah, that play he made this last week, beating 1627 01:22:37,040 --> 01:22:40,080 Speaker 1: a double team and going down and catching mims like 1628 01:22:40,360 --> 01:22:46,400 Speaker 1: at the exact millisecond. Uh, it's pretty it's pretty great. 1629 01:22:47,120 --> 01:22:49,200 Speaker 1: It was a good. That was a nice hit, and 1630 01:22:49,280 --> 01:22:51,120 Speaker 1: I know it feels good as a player when you 1631 01:22:51,160 --> 01:22:53,880 Speaker 1: can time that just right. But you can see mems 1632 01:22:53,880 --> 01:22:56,679 Speaker 1: as he he gets there and the ball gets past 1633 01:22:56,760 --> 01:22:58,679 Speaker 1: him and he has to turn around to make the catch. 1634 01:22:58,720 --> 01:23:05,920 Speaker 1: He gets over his head and whipblash from that one. Yeah, yeah, 1635 01:23:06,080 --> 01:23:08,679 Speaker 1: brown textbook kit. Yeah, go back and listen to Brownie's 1636 01:23:08,680 --> 01:23:10,200 Speaker 1: call of that. I was a good one.

He's just everywhere on the field. 1645 01:23:37,439 --> 01:23:39,800 Speaker 1: They use him in a ton of different ways, and 1646 01:23:40,840 --> 01:23:44,320 Speaker 1: you love having guys that are that versatile on your team. 1647 01:23:44,360 --> 01:23:46,320 Speaker 1: And it sounds easy because we're all out here as 1648 01:23:46,360 --> 01:23:48,200 Speaker 1: fans thinking, man, I wish I could play, I wish 1649 01:23:48,200 --> 01:23:49,360 Speaker 1: I could be on the team.

It's 1654 01:24:01,240 --> 01:24:08,960 Speaker 1: that simple. Guys careers end because they don't cover. They 1655 01:24:08,960 --> 01:24:12,599 Speaker 1: don't want to cover kicks, they don't want to block 1656 01:24:12,880 --> 01:24:18,479 Speaker 1: in the run game, they don't want to go barefoot whatever. 1657 01:24:19,560 --> 01:24:21,080 Speaker 1: There's a ton of guys that are out of the 1658 01:24:21,120 --> 01:24:24,040 Speaker 1: league because of that. They just don't want it bad enough. 1659 01:24:24,200 --> 01:24:27,000 Speaker 1: They aren't willing to do that kind of stuff to 1660 01:24:27,040 --> 01:24:30,800 Speaker 1: play professional football. And that sounds crazy to Jimokes like 1661 01:24:30,880 --> 01:24:35,160 Speaker 1: me and Brownie, but it happens every single training camp 1662 01:24:35,160 --> 01:24:39,639 Speaker 1: for every single team. Guys just will not do what 1663 01:24:39,680 --> 01:24:43,439 Speaker 1: the club asks them to do, and certainly not at 1664 01:24:43,479 --> 01:24:46,760 Speaker 1: a high enough level to be on a pro football team. 1665 01:24:47,560 --> 01:24:52,680 Speaker 1: And it's really that simple. Yeah, for a lot of 1666 01:24:52,680 --> 01:24:53,200 Speaker 1: these guys. 1667 01:24:53,520 --> 01:24:55,800 Speaker 3: Let's go to Jay and Orlando next. What's up Jay? 1668 01:24:56,840 --> 01:24:57,040 Speaker 4: Hey? 1669 01:24:57,080 --> 01:24:57,320 Speaker 7: Aj? 1670 01:24:57,520 --> 01:25:01,360 Speaker 18: Here, listen, pob Buffalo Bill's FA of sixty four years. 1671 01:25:01,840 --> 01:25:03,960 Speaker 18: I was in New York for that Bills in New 1672 01:25:04,080 --> 01:25:07,800 Speaker 18: York Titans first exhibition game in the history of the 1673 01:25:07,840 --> 01:25:11,000 Speaker 18: Bills in New York City, and I got to tell 1674 01:25:11,040 --> 01:25:15,679 Speaker 18: you this, Baltimore's team scares me more than any other 1675 01:25:15,720 --> 01:25:19,240 Speaker 18: team in the NFL, even the Eagles, even more so 1676 01:25:19,360 --> 01:25:22,720 Speaker 18: than Kansas City. And I think it's going to come 1677 01:25:22,760 --> 01:25:27,240 Speaker 18: down to somebody keeping an eye on Lamar's feet, making 1678 01:25:27,320 --> 01:25:30,600 Speaker 18: sure tackles on Henry so he doesn't get any of 1679 01:25:30,600 --> 01:25:37,200 Speaker 18: these breakaway long gainers or touchdowns. And on the Bill side, tackling, tackling, sure, tackling, 1680 01:25:37,479 --> 01:25:40,000 Speaker 18: hit him low, get him down, because you're not going 1681 01:25:40,040 --> 01:25:43,799 Speaker 18: to bring Henry down hitting him eye. So my heart's 1682 01:25:43,840 --> 01:25:46,360 Speaker 18: with the Buffalo Bills. But I have a very bad 1683 01:25:46,360 --> 01:25:49,760 Speaker 18: feeling about this game. And I mean, from my heart, 1684 01:25:49,800 --> 01:25:51,760 Speaker 18: I love him to death, but I think if I 1685 01:25:51,800 --> 01:25:54,000 Speaker 18: had to pick a score, I'd say all the more 1686 01:25:54,040 --> 01:25:59,679 Speaker 18: thirty Buffalo twenty. And I'm just really worried about this game. 1687 01:26:00,120 --> 01:26:02,120 Speaker 18: And we're gonna need our fans for this one because 1688 01:26:02,160 --> 01:26:05,360 Speaker 18: this is going to be really, really huge for the franchise. 1689 01:26:05,960 --> 01:26:08,800 Speaker 3: All Right, we hope you're wrong, Jay, Thanks for the call. 1690 01:26:08,880 --> 01:26:11,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, I but really, basically I think he's in this 1691 01:26:11,560 --> 01:26:13,320 Speaker 1: He's in the same spot as a lot of Bills fans. 1692 01:26:13,320 --> 01:26:16,360 Speaker 1: They saw this game, this team early, and and I 1693 01:26:16,400 --> 01:26:20,000 Speaker 1: think the thing you remember about that first game this 1694 01:26:20,040 --> 01:26:24,240 Speaker 1: week season in Week four was how that game felt. 1695 01:26:24,600 --> 01:26:29,120 Speaker 1: It was an absolute sickening feeling though we we just 1696 01:26:29,320 --> 01:26:33,320 Speaker 1: couldn't stop them from handing it off and gaining yards. 1697 01:26:33,400 --> 01:26:36,080 Speaker 1: We couldn't get them off the field. We could not 1698 01:26:36,320 --> 01:26:39,760 Speaker 1: do it, and we and our offense couldn't get anything going. 1699 01:26:39,840 --> 01:26:44,759 Speaker 1: It was just an absolute crushing from the opening play. 1700 01:26:44,800 --> 01:26:46,559 Speaker 1: That and how many times have we seen this eighty 1701 01:26:46,600 --> 01:26:48,680 Speaker 1: seven yard are from Henry Right, I. 1702 01:26:48,600 --> 01:26:51,000 Speaker 3: Don't need to see it like triple digits. 1703 01:26:51,040 --> 01:26:54,439 Speaker 1: I've seen it a hundred times. So that and you 1704 01:26:54,439 --> 01:26:59,599 Speaker 1: know Aj from North Carolina, I guess Dennis or Dennis 1705 01:26:59,640 --> 01:27:02,320 Speaker 1: from North Carolina. He's set. You know it's this team 1706 01:27:02,360 --> 01:27:05,479 Speaker 1: scares him. And I think we all felt new know 1707 01:27:05,520 --> 01:27:07,479 Speaker 1: what we felt like when we watched this team lump 1708 01:27:07,560 --> 01:27:10,000 Speaker 1: them up in Week four, lump us up. So we 1709 01:27:10,000 --> 01:27:11,040 Speaker 1: don't want to go through it again. 1710 01:27:13,120 --> 01:27:14,200 Speaker 3: Gotta take a break here. 1711 01:27:14,400 --> 01:27:16,600 Speaker 2: We'll close things up with one final segment, see if 1712 01:27:16,600 --> 01:27:18,519 Speaker 2: we can squeeze a call in next on one Bill's Live. 1713 01:27:18,560 --> 01:27:23,439 Speaker 5: Stay with us. 1714 01:27:36,160 --> 01:27:38,519 Speaker 2: All right back here on a Tuesday edition of One 1715 01:27:38,560 --> 01:27:42,160 Speaker 2: Bills Live and got some final thoughts from the tweet sheet. 1716 01:27:42,240 --> 01:27:45,360 Speaker 2: Here have the Bills changed enough from the last matchup 1717 01:27:45,640 --> 01:27:49,720 Speaker 2: to beat the Ravens this time around. Christine says, we 1718 01:27:49,760 --> 01:27:52,920 Speaker 2: are now a well oiled, cohesive team playing as one. 1719 01:27:53,360 --> 01:27:55,479 Speaker 2: We also have the defensive players back that were out 1720 01:27:55,479 --> 01:27:58,320 Speaker 2: the last time. Trust the process, one play at a time. 1721 01:27:58,360 --> 01:28:01,120 Speaker 2: If we keep the everyone eats men reality, we'll keep 1722 01:28:01,160 --> 01:28:03,759 Speaker 2: them guessing and we'll go on to know Go Bills. 1723 01:28:04,120 --> 01:28:07,320 Speaker 2: Jeff says, most definitely more physical along both sides of 1724 01:28:07,360 --> 01:28:09,400 Speaker 2: the ball. I think the Bills were still figuring the 1725 01:28:09,400 --> 01:28:11,479 Speaker 2: offense out in Week four. 1726 01:28:11,600 --> 01:28:12,800 Speaker 3: I think there's some truth to that. 1727 01:28:14,160 --> 01:28:17,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Sir Coleman was a non factor in the 1728 01:28:17,320 --> 01:28:19,200 Speaker 2: offense at that point, in the offense at that point 1729 01:28:19,200 --> 01:28:23,040 Speaker 2: in the season, right Amari Cooper obviously wasn't even here yet. 1730 01:28:23,520 --> 01:28:26,519 Speaker 1: Right this think about it too. I mean, the Bills 1731 01:28:26,560 --> 01:28:28,639 Speaker 1: were in a very different place than the Ravens were. 1732 01:28:29,280 --> 01:28:31,559 Speaker 1: They had gone three to oh and scored thirty four 1733 01:28:31,560 --> 01:28:33,439 Speaker 1: to thirty one forty seven. So you can say what 1734 01:28:33,520 --> 01:28:35,400 Speaker 1: you want about figuring out the offense, but you're right, 1735 01:28:35,439 --> 01:28:37,559 Speaker 1: we didn't feel like it was hitting. But they were 1736 01:28:37,560 --> 01:28:40,519 Speaker 1: still scoring thirty plus point forty seven points the week 1737 01:28:40,560 --> 01:28:42,160 Speaker 1: before against Jacksonville. 1738 01:28:41,720 --> 01:28:43,439 Speaker 3: And I don't think the run game was the force 1739 01:28:43,479 --> 01:28:44,719 Speaker 3: that is not either. 1740 01:28:44,560 --> 01:28:48,120 Speaker 1: Not at all. So I'm yeah, and the Ravens were 1741 01:28:48,240 --> 01:28:52,360 Speaker 1: absolutely desperate for a win this night game. Remember was 1742 01:28:52,520 --> 01:28:55,040 Speaker 1: there was a first It was a third in a 1743 01:28:55,160 --> 01:28:58,519 Speaker 1: row primetime game for the Bills. Yes, there's a lot 1744 01:28:58,560 --> 01:29:00,479 Speaker 1: going on, and then not that that makes any difference 1745 01:29:00,479 --> 01:29:05,080 Speaker 1: to this, but yeah, everything's different. You feel different. You 1746 01:29:05,120 --> 01:29:06,960 Speaker 1: can't even like these players. They're gonna have to go 1747 01:29:06,960 --> 01:29:08,240 Speaker 1: back and look at the film. They go, oh, yeah, 1748 01:29:08,280 --> 01:29:11,000 Speaker 1: I remember that now. You know. There's got so much 1749 01:29:11,080 --> 01:29:13,760 Speaker 1: water under the bridge. You can't even remember what that 1750 01:29:13,800 --> 01:29:16,479 Speaker 1: game was like where you felt, you know, the injuries 1751 01:29:16,520 --> 01:29:18,000 Speaker 1: that you were dealing with that there were center of 1752 01:29:18,000 --> 01:29:20,720 Speaker 1: your universe for trying to get healthy. You can't even 1753 01:29:20,720 --> 01:29:25,720 Speaker 1: remember them. Two months later, you're completely different. So there's 1754 01:29:25,760 --> 01:29:27,400 Speaker 1: a lot of that going on. That's just kind of 1755 01:29:27,400 --> 01:29:32,080 Speaker 1: the way the NFL works this The lineup is going 1756 01:29:32,120 --> 01:29:35,599 Speaker 1: to be significantly different. The Bills are in a much 1757 01:29:35,600 --> 01:29:39,559 Speaker 1: different place offensively, and so are the Ravens. 1758 01:29:40,680 --> 01:29:43,839 Speaker 2: The court Jester says Bills and Ravens are similar teams. 1759 01:29:43,920 --> 01:29:46,240 Speaker 2: The Ravens have a Ferrari at quarterback and the Bills 1760 01:29:46,280 --> 01:29:49,320 Speaker 2: have a four x four truck, vice versa running back. 1761 01:29:49,400 --> 01:29:51,719 Speaker 2: Henry's the four x four and Cook is the Ferrari. 1762 01:29:52,280 --> 01:29:54,719 Speaker 2: Ravens tend to start fast and coast, while the bills 1763 01:29:54,760 --> 01:29:56,879 Speaker 2: tend to start slow and then keep on trucking. 1764 01:29:57,439 --> 01:29:59,479 Speaker 3: It's a good assessment. That's it for us today. We'll 1765 01:29:59,479 --> 01:29:59,960 Speaker 3: see you tomorrow. 1766 01:30:00,040 --> 01:30:00,400 Speaker 1: It once
