1
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:10,799
Speaker 1: At a Steve Tasker who has been all over the fields.

2
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:12,480
Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

3
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:18,919
Speaker 1: player for you, Steve, Steve a blimp. We're not even

4
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 1: in the stratosphere of normalcy. And welcome to a Wednesday

5
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 1: edition of One Bills Live. This will be the last

6
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:34,879
Speaker 1: edition of the show this week. We have Christmas Eve

7
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 1: and Christmas coming up and we've been afforded the opportunity

8
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 1: to enjoy those days with our families, so we're looking

9
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 1: forward to that and giving all of our listeners and

10
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 1: viewers a day, a couple of days off right, a

11
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 1: break from us. Let's know what you're saying exactly, Chris Brown,

12
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker with you, and plenty to get to today

13
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: as we begin preparations for this next game for the

14
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 1: Bills here in Week sixteen against the New England Patriots

15
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: in Fox Borrow Monday Night Football and will obviously be

16
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: your extended pregame on Monday, So we'll be back on

17
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: Monday to provide extended pregame coverage of this upcoming game.

18
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 1: And we should mention the Bills opened as six point

19
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: favorites against the Patriots for that Monday night game. It's

20
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: just the sixth time in forty two matchups under Bill

21
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:27,040
Speaker 1: Belichick that the Bills are favored. They were also favored

22
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: back in Week eate a Game one by the Bills

23
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: twenty four, twenty one. It's also the first time in

24
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: Belichick's twenty one years as head coach of the Patriots

25
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: that the Bills are favored in a game act Jillette Stadium.

26
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,199
Speaker 1: How's that grab you? I'm not really, I'm not thrilled

27
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,960
Speaker 1: about it, and you're not, Okay, not thrilling. You'd never

28
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: if you're if I've heard at their axioms that you

29
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: go by, and it's like never. He has always been

30
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: on the home underdog on Monday Night football. Okay, well

31
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: that's to cover. Yeah. Sure. The Patriots also have not

32
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 1: been swept by an AFC East opponent since the Dolphins

33
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: and Jets last did it to the Patriots in two thousand,

34
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: twenty years since they have been swept by a division opponent.

35
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 1: Drink that would be broken by the Bills could pull

36
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 1: that off on Monday Night. So there we are with

37
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 1: one years since any one of the division opponents has

38
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 1: swept them. That's correct. You didn't get like you can

39
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,079
Speaker 1: like have a good team. Nobody could put together good

40
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: enough team and get one bounce of the ball in

41
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 1: the second meeting. Well, yeah, nobody could really get close

42
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: enough to be in a position to do this. That

43
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 1: is yeah, suspiciously scary. Let me just say that. Okay,

44
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: So you're expecting more antics up there in Foxborough where

45
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: headsets miraculously go out or get scrambled. Well maybe, but

46
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: I expect a really a close game, really close game.

47
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: I think it's going to be, you know, forget them.

48
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: I just they're hard to beat in that building, right,

49
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: and I know the Dolphins just went in and did

50
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: it by ten twenty two twelve I believe was the final.

51
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: They're hard to beat. They're just hard to beat up there. Yeah,

52
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: for the second straight meeting, the Bills will play the

53
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,519
Speaker 1: Patriots without Stefan Gilmour. He missed the last game back

54
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 1: in wee Gate. He will miss this game after having

55
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 1: surgery for a partially torn quadriceps tendon, which is not

56
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: a fun injury, and there are many players in this

57
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: league that have failed to come back from such an

58
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: injury and perform at the level they previously did. We

59
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: even had a player on this Bill's roster. A few

60
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: years ago, probably a handful of years ago, Alex Carrington,

61
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: the former third round draft choice. He tore his quadriceps

62
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: tendon completely, did the surgical repair, all the rehab in

63
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 1: the offseason, came back the next year, was not the

64
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: same player. And a year later he was out of

65
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: the league. And he's out the first and he won't

66
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: be the last. It's a tough injury to come. It's

67
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: difficult to see two. Because Stefan Gilber, no matter what

68
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: Bills fans think of him, former first round of the Bills,

69
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: I went and was a defensive player of the Year

70
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: in the NFL for the Patriots in a year they

71
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: won the Super Bowl. You hate to see it to anybody.

72
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: And it was a non contact injury, I mean slipped

73
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: done um and he and it was he knew it

74
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: right away. He knew it. Yeah, I've never had That's

75
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: one of the one of the few injuries in football.

76
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: I've never had experienced. Yeah, And I gotta know, you

77
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 1: gotta think too that these guys are so in tune

78
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 1: with their bodies. When that happened, he knew something was

79
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 1: it was catastrophic there. Um, So I feel bad for him.

80
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 1: And uh wish him the best. There is also some

81
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: breaking news from Governor Cuomo's office. I'm guessing it's coming

82
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: from the cover's office and it's on this show. You

83
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:57,840
Speaker 1: know it has to do with fans in the stands, right,

84
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 1: and you would be correct, Ding Ding Ding. I'm guessing

85
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: this is stemming from his daily address with regard to

86
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 1: the COVID situation. But he said today that the Bills

87
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:16,679
Speaker 1: have proposed to the state a plan that involves sixty

88
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: seven hundred fans at upcoming playoff games, and they are

89
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: working with the Bills on a contact tracing plan that

90
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 1: may emphasis may allow for it. So that is the

91
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 1: latest news coming down as we speak, just about eight

92
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:39,239
Speaker 1: or ten minutes ago. I'm Governor Cuomo saying the Bills

93
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,679
Speaker 1: have presented them with a proposal for sixty seven hundred

94
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,840
Speaker 1: fans at their upcoming home playoff game, and they are

95
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: working with the Bills on a contact tracing plan that

96
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,719
Speaker 1: may allow for it. Quoting from Chris Horvadas a tweet,

97
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 1: he said, Health Commissioner Howard Zucker says fans would have

98
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 1: to proof have proof of a negative test prior to

99
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 1: entering the stadium, and the state will work with the

100
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,799
Speaker 1: team to do contact tracing afterwards. And it's being called,

101
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: quote a demonstration project. Okay, so that on a large scale,

102
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 1: well I guess a large sixty seven hundred people, they

103
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 1: could keep track of how that affects the spread of

104
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: the virus correct being at the game, because the last

105
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: thing you want is to be responsible for a super

106
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: spreader event, which is why the state has been so

107
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: reluctant from the very beginning to allow fans instands at games. Here.

108
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: New Jersey has followed the same path as New York

109
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: because there have been no fans at Jets or Giants

110
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 1: games in New Jersey, so that hasn't changed, and so

111
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:47,919
Speaker 1: we'll just have to see where it goes. Take it

112
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: a step at a time, and you know there's time

113
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: before the playoff game. They're targeting the playoff game for

114
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:57,799
Speaker 1: this to take place, so you've got three weeks essentially

115
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:04,280
Speaker 1: right to get everything signed off on. I would assume

116
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,600
Speaker 1: that this is going to require a visit from state

117
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 1: officials to survey the plan in person, to see how

118
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: viable and airtight as possible as it can be. As

119
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: far as the many times around the block as we've

120
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 1: been with coronavirus and the pandemic and a daily briefing

121
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: by the governor of the state, and all the twists

122
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 1: and turns and myths and misinformation and facts and science

123
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: that have surrounded this. If it gets to the point

124
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: where they're gonna come in, they're gonna actually, you know,

125
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: give this a shot to happen. You know, they're gonna

126
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 1: come out and check it out. They're gonna come out

127
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: firsthand and run through it, and it'll Yeah, they're going

128
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 1: to do this by the numbers, no question. And I

129
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: know this too. We've talked about it on the show.

130
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 1: The bills have jumped through fiery hoops to try and

131
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: get fans in the stands and none of it has

132
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: been has been to no avail. And hopefully they can

133
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 1: get to a point now. And I made the suggestion

134
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,239
Speaker 1: on the show maybe it would just be the first

135
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: responders and the nurses and healthcare facility and people that

136
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: would be allowed in because they've been vaccinated, right, they

137
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: get the first vaccinations. Let all those people in, you know,

138
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: but they obviously have a plan in place. Sixty seven hundred.

139
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: It doesn't sound like many, no, but it beats zero. Well,

140
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 1: you know, the stadium seats approximately seventy three thousand I

141
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: believe seventy two and change. Yeah, so you know, sixty

142
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: seven hundred is a little less than ten percent. You're

143
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 1: probably talking an eight nine the capacity. I'm assuming that

144
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 1: that would be fans in the outdoor seating areas. Only

145
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 1: you're not going to be sitting anybody inside in closed

146
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 1: spaces where they're breathing on each other. Right, that is

147
00:08:56,559 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: probably not happening. You couldn't you would, because there's no

148
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,959
Speaker 1: The only reason being is, for instance, I've got I've

149
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 1: got we have an my crew has an isolation pod

150
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,439
Speaker 1: where we're all quarantining together. We're all being tested also, right,

151
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 1: so if you could, but there's no way to prove that, Yeah,

152
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 1: this guy is living in my house, you know what

153
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 1: I mean. So you can't really open up a suite

154
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 1: to even a group of people who are willing to

155
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 1: be together, you know what I'm saying. So it's all

156
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 1: going to be outdoor seating, it seems to me. Yep.

157
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: And we will keep our ear to the ground on

158
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: that to bring you updates as they become available as

159
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:40,719
Speaker 1: to the likelihood the timetable as to when decisions will

160
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 1: be made, so we'll try to do our best to

161
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 1: keep you updated as possible on the developments. There other

162
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: news concerning the Bills, there is another AFC Offensive Player

163
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: of the Week, except it's the same guy that wanted

164
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 1: the last three times for the Bills, Josh Allen for

165
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 1: the fourth time this season again AFC off five Player

166
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 1: of the Week for his three hundred and fifty nine

167
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 1: yard passing effort that included two passing touchdowns two rushing

168
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 1: touchdowns in the forty eight nineteen route of the Denver

169
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: Broncos last Saturday. He has now won this four times

170
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:16,559
Speaker 1: and I tweeted this this morning. Lamar Jackson won Offensive

171
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,439
Speaker 1: Player of the Week for the AFC five times last

172
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:23,199
Speaker 1: year and he wound up being the league MVP. And

173
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: so I think we need to pump the tires even more,

174
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: shouted from the rooftops even more that Josh Allen is

175
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: a legitimate league MVP candidate. I know Aaron Rodgers has

176
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 1: had an amazing season in Green Bay, probably doesn't have

177
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 1: quite the defense that the Bills have to help support

178
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 1: their quarterback. And I know that Patrick Mahomes is Patrick Mahomes.

179
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 1: Sure this guy's third man in as far as I'm concerned. Yeah,

180
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 1: he is part of the conversation. Now. Yeah, he is

181
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,679
Speaker 1: three hundred ninety two yards of offense last week, four touchdowns, interceptions,

182
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 1: two running, two throwing three hundred fifty two yards passing. Yeah,

183
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:09,440
Speaker 1: I mean he's and that's and it's to the point

184
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,199
Speaker 1: now where Okay, well, how you know he's gonna throw

185
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: for three bills today. You know what I'm saying. We're

186
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 1: all like going, Okay, Josh gonna Josh is gonna play great.

187
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:22,680
Speaker 1: You kind of feel it. And that's way different than

188
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 1: what he was getting credit for being able to do

189
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 1: in any years past. He's been consistent. The team's winning games,

190
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 1: just like the Chiefs and the Packers are winning games.

191
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 1: Josh Allen is a difference maker, and he's playing well,

192
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 1: not just for this team, but in the big scheme

193
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 1: of the National Football League. This guy's lightening it up.

194
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 1: If you come in there half halfway or half speed,

195
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, the Bills are hanging forty eight points on you.

196
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 1: They're hanging forty four points on the Seahawks. They're hanging

197
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: thirty four points on the Rams or forty four on

198
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 1: the Ram. I mean it's you know, it's a it's

199
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 1: a real They're they're playing well, and they're playing they're

200
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 1: hitting their stride defensively as well. So there it's hard

201
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:10,319
Speaker 1: to find any dents or chinks in the armor, little

202
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 1: dents in the armor of this team. Yeah, seven games

203
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 1: this season so far with thirty points or more. That's

204
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 1: half of their games thirty points or more. And they

205
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 1: have twenty seven in two other games, twenty six or

206
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: more in three other games. So they can put them up.

207
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: They're hanging it up there, really are. They're they're lighting

208
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 1: it up. And that's it's it's no joke there, it's

209
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 1: for real now. And this is a team that has

210
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: emerged and is going to be as a contender, is

211
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 1: an absolute contender with the heavyweights in the league. And

212
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: you know, like I said, you know, you can't you

213
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 1: cannot discount or look away or put the bills up

214
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: ahead of the Kansas City Chiefs. But man o man,

215
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 1: everybody else's everybody else's looking up at him, that's for sure. Yes.

216
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 1: There is also a practice update that was provided by

217
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: head coach Sean McDermott this morning in his press conference

218
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 1: with the media, his last of the week, as practice

219
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 1: begins in earnest today and we can hear the base

220
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,079
Speaker 1: pumping out on the practice field as they are outside.

221
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: We'll be checking in with our colleague Maddi Glab in

222
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 1: about a half hour for an update on practice. But

223
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 1: we do know this all ready because there was a

224
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: handful of injuries that came out of the Denver Broncos game,

225
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 1: not the least of which included Tredavious White and Stefan Diggs,

226
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:34,679
Speaker 1: along with starting right tackle Darryl Williams. And coach McDermott

227
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 1: said today that Stefan Diggs and Tradevious White will practice today.

228
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,840
Speaker 1: He did not say in what capacity, whether they're limited

229
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 1: or full go or what have you. He said that

230
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 1: they will continue to monitor those two guys through practice,

231
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:50,559
Speaker 1: which leads me to believe they'll be on a pitchcount

232
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 1: in practice today. Darryl Williams and Andre Roberts, who will

233
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 1: left the game with a low back injury Darryl Williams

234
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:01,559
Speaker 1: with a groin injury, they will not practice today. Aj Epinessa,

235
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 1: who left last week's game with a head injury, is

236
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 1: good to go for practice today, so Digs White, Epinessa

237
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 1: practicing today. Williams and Roberts are not, and I know

238
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 1: Levi Wallace also turned an ankle in that game last

239
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 1: week two. We'll have to see if he is practicing,

240
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 1: but we'll have Maddie Glab to help us out as

241
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 1: she is our eyes and ears out there on the

242
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: practice field today. Also on TAP today, since this is

243
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 1: a truncated week, we made sure to make Greg Cosell,

244
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 1: senior producer at NFL Films, a part of it. Instead

245
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 1: of his normal Friday time slot, we have moved him

246
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 1: up to Wednesday today's show, so he will be on

247
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 1: at two o'clock, probably in about an hour and forty

248
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 1: five minutes to bring us up to speed on some

249
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 1: of the xs and o's and the matchups that we

250
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 1: expect to come to fruition in this Monday night game.

251
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 1: As we mentioned, Gilmore not a part of the last

252
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 1: game so again won't be part of this one either,

253
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 1: and so J. C. Jackson and presumably Jonathan Jones will

254
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 1: be the starting corners against this Bill's receiving corps. And

255
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 1: obviously we have to wait and see what Diggs availability

256
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 1: will be for this game. Also an update, John Brown

257
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 1: remains on injured reserve but is practicing again. This week,

258
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: returned to the practice fold last week, back this week

259
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 1: for more practice as he ramps up in his return

260
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 1: from a high ankle sprain. So they said they will

261
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 1: continue to monitor him daily, but no promises and still

262
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 1: on IR at this point in time. In about an

263
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 1: hour and fifteen minutes, we will have actor Bill's fan

264
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 1: and Western New York native Bill Fickner on the show,

265
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 1: so he will be joining us later in the program.

266
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: We'll get his take, presumably from the West coast or

267
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 1: who knows he might be home for the holidays, who

268
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 1: knows not much going on in Hollywood these days, get

269
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: his take on how euphoric he might be. Knowing he

270
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 1: has been a long standing Bills fan, I want to

271
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 1: say he went to Merryvale High School in cheek Zwaga,

272
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 1: if I might have I think I have that right,

273
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 1: but because I remember him doing a thing for his

274
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 1: old high school a couple of years ago. But we'll

275
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 1: check in with him in about an hour and fifteen minutes.

276
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 1: So full pack show for you today, our last edition

277
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: before the Christmas holiday here and excited to bring it

278
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 1: to you, and also on the table for you today

279
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 1: in the spirit of the season, we want to know

280
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 1: what is the best Bills related gift you ever received

281
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 1: on Christmas? I mean, anybody that lives in Western New

282
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 1: York probably at some point in their lifetime got blitzed

283
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 1: with some kind of Bill's paraphernalia or a Bill's gift

284
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 1: of some kind at Christmas. But we want to know

285
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 1: the best one. And you know what, maybe for fun,

286
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 1: we may want to ask for one of the worst ones.

287
00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: Because you could get the Bill's logo on just about anything.

338
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 1: a quick story. The jersey thing's cool, no question, the

339
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 1: one of the one of the most poignant things that

340
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,119
Speaker 1: ever happened to me. And it only happened obviously the

341
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 1: only ones. But my wife and I were walking through

342
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 1: you know, Christmas shop, a store, big, huge store. Yeah,

343
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 1: I don't want to say the name, but it was

344
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,879
Speaker 1: up in the GALLERYA and we're walking through there on

345
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 1: Christmas time. And this was twenty four while ago, twenty five,

346
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:20,919
Speaker 1: this is when I was still playing, and it was

347
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 1: like a ninety four ninety probably ninety five probably, And

348
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 1: then we were walking around there and I looked, we're

349
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,439
Speaker 1: just walking and we're in this store. We're to go

350
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 1: through the sporting good stuff with all the gear going.

351
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 1: I look up and on the walls it's John always Jersey,

352
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 1: Dan Marino's jersey, Jim Kelly's jersey, Bruce Thurman, Andre and

353
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 1: and eighty nine Jersey was up. And just to be

354
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:48,639
Speaker 1: on the wall with that group. I hadn't work. I

355
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 1: didn't have a phone, you know, we didn't have I

356
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:51,639
Speaker 1: didn't even know if I had a phone back then,

357
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:53,919
Speaker 1: because i'd have taken a picture. I stood there. I was,

358
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 1: I just I was frozen. I stopped in my tracks

359
00:20:58,440 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 1: and I was I got a kind of a little

360
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:01,919
Speaker 1: bit of emotional, a little emotional about it because that

361
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 1: was kind of cool, right, And uh, you know, because

362
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 1: all those guys were there up there, and it was

363
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:09,639
Speaker 1: and of course Marino and Elway and those guys, but

364
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,640
Speaker 1: it was it was really cool. That is, never forget it.

365
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 1: One of the great great Christmas moments ever. See that

366
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 1: you didn't even get anything, right, you just you were observing.

367
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 1: That was a gift, believe me. Well, Okay, whoever bought

368
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:26,239
Speaker 1: the jerseys for that store, I would have, you know,

369
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:28,399
Speaker 1: I would have slipped him with twenty or something. You know,

370
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 1: I just had a thank you Christmas Christmas to me right, yeah.

371
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,439
Speaker 1: From Tick on the tweet sheet, I can tell you

372
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 1: the worst Christmas Eve twenty sixteen, the Dolphins Bills overtime game,

373
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 1: Rex's last game. That game definitely ruined my Christmas Eve

374
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 1: and Christmas. As the Bills were officially eliminated, that game

375
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 1: sticks out as the last straw with Rex for a

376
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 1: lot of fans. And the reason why was the Bills

377
00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 1: had the lead. They came all the way back. Tyrod

378
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 1: had very good game. I think that was his only

379
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 1: three hundred yard passing game in his Bill's career. They

380
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,919
Speaker 1: took the lead and the defense is on the field

381
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:13,120
Speaker 1: deep in Miami territory, and I'm not going to remember

382
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:15,400
Speaker 1: the yardage. I'm not gonna remember who got handed the ball,

383
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 1: but the Bills had ten men on the field. Their cornerback,

384
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:24,919
Speaker 1: who was Stefan Gilmour the year before he left, was

385
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 1: not on the field at right corner. And of course

386
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 1: the play call for the Dolphins is a run over

387
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 1: the left side, so there's nobody in run support at

388
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 1: the cornerback position to force it back inside. And I

389
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 1: want to say it was the running back that got

390
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 1: traded from the Dolphins to the Eagles a short time later.

391
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:50,120
Speaker 1: Guy came from England. I'm not gonna remember his dang name,

392
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 1: but he I want to say he took that run

393
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 1: all the way to the end zone and it was

394
00:22:56,600 --> 00:23:00,360
Speaker 1: over after that. Wow, that was one of the there

395
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 1: was a few games there was now in the in

396
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 1: the Rex ryan Um history books that you remember that

397
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 1: and I couldn't. I can't remember names. But when one

398
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 1: of the guys that was supposed to be playing that

399
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 1: day was never told he was going to be activated.

400
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 1: So he was in the press box, yes, in street clothes,

401
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,360
Speaker 1: and they were looking for where are you You're up

402
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 1: and he's like, what you're kidding me? Right? He thought

403
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:27,639
Speaker 1: it was a joke. He's up, he's in. He was

404
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 1: in street clothes up in the press box watching the game.

405
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 1: Nobody had gotten around to telling him he was activated

406
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 1: for the game. Jai's uh, yeah, that's who I was

407
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 1: thinking of. Yeah, that's that's why the rip cord got

408
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 1: pulled on that regime pretty quick. Yeah. So he ran deep,

409
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:51,919
Speaker 1: ran deep down the field, and with forty seven seconds

410
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 1: left in overtime, he put them in position to kick

411
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:59,400
Speaker 1: a game winning twenty seven yard field goal to win

412
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 1: thirty four thirty one in overtime. It was Yeah, it

00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 1: some monitors in the in the alcoves of the stadium there,

437
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 1: because I know a lot of fans? Did that? Come on?

439
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 1: was the group you were with, like four or five

440
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 1: hundred fans or like how many people were glued to

441
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 1: the television set out there? I would I would say

442
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 1: that many. Yeah, I would say that. That's a good guest, right, there, um,

443
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 1: And I was just getting ready to walk away too. Um.

444
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 1: I actually was taking a step away when the plays

445
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 1: was happening from Andy Dalton. And then how many people

446
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 1: that you didn't know were you hugging at that point?

447
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:12,600

448
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:14,639
Speaker 1: good one. I'll take that. Yeah. I thought I thought

449
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 1: people might take the angle that Lewis did with their

450
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 1: response to this Twitter poll today, like it wasn't going

451
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 1: to always be a physical, tangible gift that you actually

452
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 1: unwrapped it in a lot of ways. It's big wins

453
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 1: this time a year that people cherish or remember the most.

454
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,359
Speaker 1: So Lewis is just one of those examples. You know,

455
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 1: the season finale, Kyle Williams going in on a fullback

456
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:45,159
Speaker 1: dive for his first and only career touchdown, and I

457
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 1: still remember the touchdown celebration. He throws the ball up

458
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,399
Speaker 1: in the air like it's a bomb and everybody drops

459
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,880
Speaker 1: when the thing hits the ground. That was pretty good.

460
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:56,200
Speaker 1: There's not too many defensive alignment with with a touchdown

461
00:26:56,280 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 1: celebration preordained. Yeah, I wonder how much time they, you know,

462
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:04,160
Speaker 1: take to rehearse that thing, you know, And well, yeah,

463
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 1: I mean, offensive linemen aren't known as the best dancers

464
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 1: or prancers, shall we say so? Yeah it's good though,

465
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 1: but yeah it was a great celebration. So he takes

466
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,359
Speaker 1: it in out and our MSG viewers are watching this

467
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 1: now is our Our fine staff in the control room

468
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:20,360
Speaker 1: have pulled it out of the archives immediately, but there

469
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 1: it is, boom and down they go. So I like

470
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:26,879
Speaker 1: that one. That's one of my favorite touchdown celebrations in

471
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 1: recent memory. That was a good The big man touchdown

472
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 1: is always awesome. And that was also the year, you know,

473
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 1: they make the playoffs the first time in seventeen years.

474
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:37,399
Speaker 1: Sean mcdermot's first year in a season where early on

475
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:40,119
Speaker 1: they were being accused of tanking and McDermot in his

476
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 1: first year as head coach, gets that team to the

477
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 1: to the playoffs. And it also is the first time

478
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:50,840
Speaker 1: we all started to understand how big a difference the

479
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 1: culture made, how big a different how much those guys

480
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:56,120
Speaker 1: loved each other, and how he came to the sideline

481
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 1: he got mobbed, he got mobbed, and how big a

482
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 1: difference it makes when you got a team that is

483
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 1: in that mental state rather than you know the others

484
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 1: that we've seen in years past, and I that's that's

485
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 1: quite the moment. Yeah, quite the moment. So good one

486
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,919
Speaker 1: there by Lewis to lead us off. That was that

487
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 1: was a good answer. Um. And we've got some others

488
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 1: on the tweet sheet that we wanted to pass along

489
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,239
Speaker 1: to you guys. So let me take a look at

490
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:26,359
Speaker 1: some of these and pass him along to you From Joe.

491
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:29,879
Speaker 1: When I was twelve, I received a Jim Kelly jersey

492
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 1: for Christmas. My parents didn't have a lot of money,

493
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:34,159
Speaker 1: and somehow they made it work and found me a jersey.

494
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 1: Twenty eight years later, I still own the jersey. It's

495
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 1: the most prized Bill's possession I own. And I gotta

496
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 1: tell you, when you're a kid and you get a jersey,

497
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 1: you're wearing it all the time. So that thing's been

498
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 1: through the wash a lot. But he's he's eleven and

499
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 1: it's cool too because it's big and it's still right

500
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 1: he can still wear. You know, you get a kid,

501
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 1: a kid a jersey, you gonna get him a big one.

502
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 1: SA can grow into it, right, so they can have

503
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 1: it when they're in their thirties and still have that jersey.

504
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 1: Because when you get a small jersey for a twelve

505
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 1: year old and it fits him when he's eighteen, is

506
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 1: probably not going to do the job. Yeah, we'll go

507
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 1: back to the phones for another quick one here before

508
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 1: we have to break. We go to Neil in East Aurora. Neil,

509
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 1: what do you have for us? You're on one Bill's Live.

510
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 1: Thanks for taking my call. How are you guys doing good? Good?

511
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 1: Greatest greatest football I got a great football helmet in

512
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 1: the nineties, red helmet, authentic helmet, and over the years

513
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 1: I got it autographed. Um I've gotten for Christmas. It

514
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 1: was blank, and over the years I put my I

515
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 1: wanted to get my fab five on it, and I

516
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 1: did throughout my you know, twenties and thirties, and I

517
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 1: finally regifted it to my oldest son, who was the

518
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 1: biggest sports freak ever. And my last autograph I got

519
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 1: on it was by none other than Thieves Tasker, who

520
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 1: was nice, fortunate, very very fortunate to get it signed

521
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 1: by him because Steve obviously this is Neil as the

522
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 1: boys and girls bump and I shouldn't his kids grow

523
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 1: up and everything. So my last bit of it was

524
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 1: Steve's Steves signature, along with Bruce Andre Thurman and Jim So. Yeah,

525
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 1: when I was either Neil, why was I the last one?

526
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 1: I'm like, I lived there. Who I mean, I should

527
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 1: have been the first. Knew. I knew you were gonna

528
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 1: be the easiest one. I figure you were the gimme

529
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:18,480
Speaker 1: and the one that was going to be free. Yeah right,

530
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 1: oh yeah, I got you. That's true. We're all gonna

531
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 1: be at dining, play shows, et cetera. But you had

532
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 1: always told me anything you ever need, Neil, you come

533
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 1: to me. I came to the house today. Yeah, I'm

534
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 1: you know there. It is the only one that can't

535
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 1: give him away. That's right. Thanks for You're probably my

536
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 1: favorite one on there, Steve, And I've always told you

537
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 1: that thanks to appreciates good talking. That's a good friend Christmas,

538
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 1: and that is that is one of the few instances

539
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 1: where a regifting is not frowned upon, it is welcomed.

540
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 1: That's a heck of a regift. He you know, he

541
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 1: got it as a kid, then started adding signatures on

542
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 1: the helmet, and then regifted it to his son. So,

543
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 1: I mean, that's a regifter that anybody would welcome. In

544
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 1: a second. It depends too. There's a lot of sentimental.

545
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 1: It could be anything, could be a coaster, for all

546
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 1: you know, a lot is. But if it's got that

547
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 1: sentimental value and you pass it down, you can regift

548
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 1: anything if you pass it down. Pat I think passing

549
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 1: it down is a little different than regifting though, right

550
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 1: right now you gotta think that's passing it down that helmet.

551
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 1: But I don't know. Can you not regift bills? I

552
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 1: can't regift bills because I well, I didn't say it can't.

553
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 1: I just I just know the general term, the general

554
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 1: term regifting, it kind of has a negative connotation. I

555
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 1: have regifted so much bills. Oh, I'm sure you have

556
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 1: well be because you know, in a lot of cases

557
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 1: you have more than enough. I think I think we

558
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 1: I think we all know. If we went into Steve's closet,

559
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 1: there are probably upwards of seventy bills polo shirts much

560
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 1: like the one he's wearing today, like a whole rack

561
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 1: quarter zip. I see I got the quarter zip you've

562
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 1: got on this one. I gotta, um, yeah, I've got

563
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 1: some other stuff that I'm that's it's not in my closet,

564
00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 1: by the way, it's in the attic. I mean the

565
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 1: rest of the family's like, you know what, So there's

566
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 1: a stash. Yes, okay, worthless, but there is a stash. Okay,

567
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 1: I'm ready for anything. I think I have one. We

568
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 1: got a break, but I actually we don't. We got

569
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 1: a few more minutes. There may be one piece of paraffinnite.

570
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 1: Tell me what this is. Somebody out there's listing what's

571
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 1: this worth? Right? Okay, Sports Illustrated? Right the magazine? Yes,

572
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 1: I got that magazine? An issue, an issue of Sports,

573
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 1: those nineteen ninety five O one with you on the cover,

574
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:30,960
Speaker 1: with me on the cover. Now, okay, there's a gazillion

575
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 1: of them, right, there's not really well, we don't know

576
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 1: how many there are. It's a thirty year old issue. Right,

577
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 1: here's the white lips. Why this is the one. Why

578
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 1: I think it's cool because you know, in the old days,

579
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:42,719
Speaker 1: they have a little postage stamped on them to who

580
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 1: they're sending. So I'm on the cover and my name's

581
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 1: on the postage they was sent to. Oh that might

582
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 1: add a little value, right, that wouldn't devalue it. That

583
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 1: might enhance the value exactly. This is Steve Tasker. It's

584
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 1: the one that's got mailed to his house. It's my

585
00:32:56,760 --> 00:33:00,240
Speaker 1: old address where we live in Wow. I think that half.

586
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 1: That's kind of cool, right, we have to get somebody,

587
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 1: somebody call me and tell me what that. Yeah, because

588
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 1: I could pay for my Christmas presents with it, or Yeah,

589
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 1: that would be I'd be interested to know that. Sure, right,

590
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 1: you got it wrapped up and protected in like a

591
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 1: plastic sleeve. You got an a plastic sleeve, so it's protected.

592

Speaker 1: there somewhere. Okay, I don't know. Well, that can't sound condition.

594
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 1: That sounds like a scavenger hunt for your brand. Kids

595
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 1: started looking around back then. It's worth two point three

596
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 1: million if it's good condition, and I'll go up there.

00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:20,800
Speaker 1: a freezing cold day. He gives me his press pass,

611
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 1: except it says Kenny on it, and it also, you know,

612
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:27,840
Speaker 1: has his picture on it. So I'm trying to like

613
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 1: get in between all these big photographers and I have

614
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:33,840
Speaker 1: this little nikon camera he gave me. The film was

615
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 1: out and everything, and my whole family's in the stands,

616
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 1: all my cousins and they were just making them, trying

617
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:40,879
Speaker 1: to make best on when I'd get kicked off the

618
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 1: field because I was dancing out there to you know,

619
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:46,880
Speaker 1: the Dolphins make me crying all the songs they play,

620
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:50,399
Speaker 1: and so security came up to me and I thought,

621
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:53,880
Speaker 1: oh boy, here we go, here we go. Yeah, the kid,

622
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 1: it's exactly it. And then he looked at me. He goes,

623
00:34:56,600 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 1: Ivon and my name's yeah, So he goes, I remember

624
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 1: you from California. He thought it was some girl. I

625
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 1: guess he was with it. California said, yeah, yeah, I

626
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:08,800
Speaker 1: remember you, and I move on. But you know, the

627
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:12,840
Speaker 1: game's win everything else, and the cousins just carried me

628
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 1: off the field. So hold on a second, here, hold

629
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 1: on the lead. Here, burying the lead, Donna. So, first

630
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:24,920
Speaker 1: of all, you get a press pass from a relative

631
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:27,359
Speaker 1: as a Christmas gift. It does not have your name

632
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 1: on said tag, so you're going in under his unassumed name. Right.

633
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 1: Then someone comes to you and provides you with a

634
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 1: second alias, thinking you're Ravan, and you immediately adopt a

635
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 1: second alias in the same event. Am I right about this? Okay? Well,

636
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:50,959
Speaker 1: I salute you for going with the flow and playing. Well,

637
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to report you to the authority. Yeah

638
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:55,920
Speaker 1: that thirty five years That is hilarious. That that is

639
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 1: from now on, your when you call in the show,

640
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:00,279
Speaker 1: you're going to be Yvonne, not Donna. Well, I know

641
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:02,799
Speaker 1: who I'm calling to keep a secret because I mean

642
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 1: that's just uh, that is super sleuth. Thank you for

643
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:09,919
Speaker 1: the call, Donna. That was best I ever got. Yeah,

644
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:11,920
Speaker 1: no question. You know what. That's funny too, because that

645
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 1: it's a thing now and and for people who go

646
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 1: to the games now you'll see in every NFL stadium

647
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 1: they kind of got an idea. Somebody did that, Hey,

648
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:27,319
Speaker 1: pregame sideline passes or a perk. Yeah, so now pre

649
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:30,719
Speaker 1: game you'll see it's like three hundreds of people on

650
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 1: the sidelines watching the players warm up. And it's a

651
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:37,440
Speaker 1: thing now, But back then, that was a big no no.

652
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 1: Nobody was allowed to be out. I know that. That's

653
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 1: why I'm surprised she got away with it. And by

654
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:43,600
Speaker 1: the way that Donna was describing it, it did not

655
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:47,399
Speaker 1: sound like she was acting professional, you know what I mean,

656
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:50,719
Speaker 1: like you got a little camera, so that automatically could

657
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:53,400
Speaker 1: be a red flag. But then she said she's dancing

658
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:55,879
Speaker 1: on the sideline, like dance into the songs that they're

659
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:59,000
Speaker 1: playing on the on the PA system. And I'm thinking

660
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 1: to myself, Oh, she's going to tell us she got nailed,

661
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:04,880
Speaker 1: she got caught, and she got dragged out of there. No, instead,

662
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 1: somebody's like, hey, I think that's a girl. I know,

663
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 1: it's unbelievable, believable, And I'll tell you not for nothing.

664
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 1: The NFL watches the sidelines like a hawk. They've got

665
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 1: observers with binoculars. They didn't even watch the game. None,

666
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:20,759
Speaker 1: they're looking at the silence and making sure nobody's down

667
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 1: there that's not supposed to be. In fact, let me

668
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:25,160
Speaker 1: tell you a story. I've always felt bad about this.

669
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:27,799
Speaker 1: So I'm standing out on the I mean, I'm playing,

670
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 1: I'm in the uniform and stuff, and the chain gang,

671
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:31,239
Speaker 1: you know, once in a while they come through the

672
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:33,320
Speaker 1: bench area and they're not right. So they're standing on

673
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:34,719
Speaker 1: the sidelines and one of the guys of the chain

674
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:39,480
Speaker 1: gang is a friend. The dude Yeah, I go, hey,

675
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:41,719
Speaker 1: what's going on? Man? He's like he's like no, You're

676
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 1: like no, He's like he's talking over so it's like nothing.

677
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:45,839
Speaker 1: I go, what do you come here? Hey? Come here?

678
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:47,319
Speaker 1: I want to show he's up okay, because I can't.

679
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:49,600
Speaker 1: I can I'll come here, Come on, bro. So he

680
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:51,839
Speaker 1: takes two steps over and I go, what are you doing?

681
00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:54,040
Speaker 1: And we talking? He goes all right, So he walks back.

682
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 1: That's all that's all that happened. I got him fired

683
00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:01,480
Speaker 1: because he fraternized with play He says, you're romer. They

684
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 1: said he told him he was a roamer. I know

685
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:05,520
Speaker 1: there was. I coaxed him away from his post for

686
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:08,760
Speaker 1: like thirty seconds, and he went back and they fired him.

687
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:11,040
Speaker 1: I felt so, I still feel bad about it. Yeah,

688
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 1: it's uh, they don't want the perception out there that

689
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 1: the officials who are marking first downs or the chamber, Yeah,

690
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 1: are compromised by players. Oh, I totally get so. The

691
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:28,839
Speaker 1: fraternization that was witnessed there was enough to give him

692
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:30,759
Speaker 1: the heave hope. I feel bad the NFL and fool

693
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:32,479
Speaker 1: around with this. I felt bad. And then of course

694
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 1: then there's also they don't let anybody. I mean, I

695
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:41,600
Speaker 1: was down on the sidelines as a reporter and I

696
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:45,919
Speaker 1: got harassed by security because I didn't have a vest on.

697
00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:50,759
Speaker 1: I was like, a vest What are you talking about? Yeah,

698
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:52,880
Speaker 1: you gotta have a vest on. I'm like yep. And

699
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:56,959
Speaker 1: by the way, I need your driver's license. What there

700
00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 1: you go? Since a when I was like, uh, it's like,

701
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 1: it's it's bad. I believe it break time for us.

702
00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:07,240
Speaker 1: But when we come back, we'll check in with Maddi

703
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:10,400
Speaker 1: glab along the sidelines at practice, find out who's practicing,

704
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:13,319
Speaker 1: who looks limited, who's not participating. We'll get the full

705
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 1: rundown from Maddie when we return. You're on One Bill's Live,

706
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:30,640
Speaker 1: presented by Kalida Health. This is Buffalo Bill's Radio time

707
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:33,759
Speaker 1: to head out to the practice field, and we are

708
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:37,920
Speaker 1: going to join now our colleague Maddie Glab Multimunity Reporter,

709
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 1: to get the four to one one on the Bills

710
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:45,919
Speaker 1: practice situation, injury report, etc. Maddie, how are we doing

711
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:49,959
Speaker 1: out there today? Hey, guys doing good out here. It's

712
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:53,400
Speaker 1: not too too cold and middle to end of December,

713
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:58,560
Speaker 1: so I've seen better days. Feeling good out here. That's great.

714
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:02,280
Speaker 1: We heard some good news from coach McDermott this morning.

715
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 1: So why don't we start there and go right to

716
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:08,760
Speaker 1: that wide receiver position where a guy that got stepped

717
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:13,840
Speaker 1: on in the game last Saturday is practicing right. Yeah, definitely.

718
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:16,319
Speaker 1: I know Bill's Mafia held their breath a little bit

719
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:18,799
Speaker 1: towards the end of the game, and we saw Trenavious

720
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:22,960
Speaker 1: White and Stefon Diggs come out and Sean McDermott really

721
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:25,560
Speaker 1: didn't give us any info on Monday as to how

722
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 1: they are doing, but he did give us an update today.

723
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:31,640
Speaker 1: And Stefon Diggs, who went out with that foot injury,

724
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:34,759
Speaker 1: was into the locker room during that game. He is

725
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:38,840
Speaker 1: out here and practicing. They're currently in special teams period.

726
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 1: So he's hanging out on the sideline right now, win

727
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:44,640
Speaker 1: through stretch. So not sure how involved he's going to

728
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:48,239
Speaker 1: be in today's practice, but he is dressed normally. There's

729
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:51,479
Speaker 1: no red non contact jersey on him, so he looks

730
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:55,160
Speaker 1: like he's going to participate in some capacity today. Good stuff.

731
00:40:55,480 --> 00:41:00,200
Speaker 1: What about his running mate John Brown. Yeah, always to

732
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:02,759
Speaker 1: see John Brown out here. He is out here as

733
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:05,960
Speaker 1: well and does not have red jersey or anything on.

734
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:08,880
Speaker 1: Is throwing the ball back and forth with wide receivers

735
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:11,560
Speaker 1: coach Chad Hall right now. And he was someone who

736
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:15,759
Speaker 1: started to practice last week but was not activated for

737
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:18,799
Speaker 1: the Broncos game. We'll see what happens this week. Sean

738
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:21,719
Speaker 1: McDermott said that John Brown was going to continue to

739
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 1: practice this week and they will evaluate later in terms

740
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:27,480
Speaker 1: of if he's going to see the field on Monday

741
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 1: night or do. Yeah. I have to believe if he's

742
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:32,799
Speaker 1: close to getting back, he's gonna want to get some

743
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:35,800
Speaker 1: kind of action here in the two regular season games

744
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 1: that remain, just so he feels like he's back into

745
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:41,799
Speaker 1: the flow of things and ready for the playoffs. There

746
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:45,160
Speaker 1: is still another receiver that is not maybe known as

747
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:50,840
Speaker 1: that primarily the new Pro Bowl returner one Andre Roberts.

748
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:54,839
Speaker 1: He is not doing anything today, is he. Yeah, he

749
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:57,200
Speaker 1: came out of the game with a lower back injury.

750
00:41:57,360 --> 00:42:00,719
Speaker 1: He is currently not practicing today. He's hanging out on

751
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:03,799
Speaker 1: the sidelines, has his jersey on, but didn't go through

752
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:06,480
Speaker 1: stretch or anything like that. And Sean McDermott said he

753
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 1: would miss practice today. So we'll see his status as

754
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:12,360
Speaker 1: the week goes on. It's a longer week, of course,

755
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:15,399
Speaker 1: with it being Monday night football, but the guys will

756
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:18,719
Speaker 1: have Christmas off, they'll practice on Christmas Eve, and then

757
00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:21,719
Speaker 1: they will practice again on Saturday. So we'll see his

758
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:25,879
Speaker 1: status as if he decides to come into practice any

759
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:28,360
Speaker 1: of the any of the practice days, if he's limited

760
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 1: or anything like that. So to be determined on his status.

761
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:35,919
Speaker 1: Per Sean McDermott, Oh, go ahead, I was gonna say.

762
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:38,960
Speaker 1: We know Daryl Williams is not practicing either. He left

763
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:43,120
Speaker 1: with the groin injury, and I'm guessing that tie and

764
00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:45,680
Speaker 1: Seki is the guy that's going to continue over there

765
00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:49,239
Speaker 1: at right tackle. He filled in for him in the game. Yeah,

766
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:52,120
Speaker 1: Daryl Williams is someone that Sean McDermot also said would

767
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 1: not be practicing today due to that groin injury, so

768
00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:58,239
Speaker 1: we'll see his status as the days go on. But yeah,

769
00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:00,239
Speaker 1: you have to guess that tie and Secki is moody

770
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:03,200
Speaker 1: who comes in and fills for that spot. He's done

771
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:05,400
Speaker 1: it last year, he's done it at times this season,

772
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:08,040
Speaker 1: so he's a good option to go to, as are

773
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:09,920
Speaker 1: a lot of the guys on the offensive line who

774
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:12,160
Speaker 1: has spent a lot of time rotating in and out

775
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:15,359
Speaker 1: of starting and coming in off the bench during games.

776
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:19,560
Speaker 1: As we've seen this offensive line be riddled with injuries

777
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:24,040
Speaker 1: at points during the season. What about Turns White, He

778
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:28,760
Speaker 1: came out of the game with his with his injury.

779
00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:32,480
Speaker 1: Tell us about how he's looking. Yeah, so Turnavius White

780
00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:35,719
Speaker 1: came out of the game with a stinger and he

781
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:39,680
Speaker 1: was listed as questionable to come back in He is

782
00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:42,960
Speaker 1: actually at practice today. Sean mcdurritt said that he and

783
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:46,439
Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs would go through practice today, so we'll see

784
00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:49,560
Speaker 1: if he is going through at a normal capacity or limited.

785
00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 1: The corners and the defensive facts are off to the

786
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:55,600
Speaker 1: side right now working on some drills and it looks

787
00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:58,759
Speaker 1: like Turnavius is participating in those as normal. With the

788
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:01,080
Speaker 1: other players. Last one I've got for you, Maddie was

789
00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:03,800
Speaker 1: a guy that was not mentioned by coach McDermott this morning.

790
00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:06,919
Speaker 1: Levi Wallace had that ankle injury and left the game

791
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:10,319
Speaker 1: last week. Do we see him out there today? Yeah,

792
00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:13,080
Speaker 1: Levi Wallace is out here too. He's dressed as normal.

793
00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:17,360
Speaker 1: There's nobody that's actually wearing red today, non contact jersey today.

794
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:20,359
Speaker 1: So he's out here and looks to be participating right now,

795
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:23,960
Speaker 1: just like Trenavius White is. So we'll see when that

796
00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:27,640
Speaker 1: injury report comes out. I'm trying to think if they

797
00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:30,280
Speaker 1: are going to put in an injury report today because

798
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:34,640
Speaker 1: Monday night football. So if there is an injury report today,

799
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:37,640
Speaker 1: we will see, you know, if guys are limited or

800
00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:40,319
Speaker 1: if everyone is full go all right, super Mattie, Thanks

801
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:42,440
Speaker 1: very much, Matty. Time you have a Merry Christmas. We'll

802
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:45,399
Speaker 1: catch you out on the other side of the holiday. Yeah,

803
00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:48,480
Speaker 1: no problem, Marry Christmas, guys. All right, that's Maddie Clab

804
00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:52,600
Speaker 1: out at practice giving us the update on who's participating,

805
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:56,720
Speaker 1: who's on the side, and so I think relatively good

806
00:44:56,719 --> 00:45:01,040
Speaker 1: news all things considered here. And I'm not prized because

807
00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:04,880
Speaker 1: Daryl Williams injury looked to be the most severe of

808
00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:07,160
Speaker 1: the bunch, the way he came off the field, the

809
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:09,960
Speaker 1: way he came out with that groin injury. And you know,

810
00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:15,600
Speaker 1: for an offensive tackle, you're using those groin muscles every kickslide,

811
00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:20,080
Speaker 1: you make, every single play in pass protection. I mean,

812
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:22,960
Speaker 1: that thing's gonna be grabbing at you if it doesn't

813
00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:25,560
Speaker 1: feel right. So that might be a one that's gonna

814
00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:27,319
Speaker 1: have to sit him down for a little bit. It

815
00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:31,160
Speaker 1: would surprise me if he actually plays this week. And

816
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:33,200
Speaker 1: when you have a guy the caliber of Tie and

817
00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:35,120
Speaker 1: Secki to plug into the lineup, there's no need to

818
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:38,360
Speaker 1: rush Daryl Williams back right and it'll it'll help you

819
00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:40,160
Speaker 1: if indeed you have to go down well. I mean,

820
00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:42,680
Speaker 1: this is exactly why you have guys like Niseki in

821
00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:45,239
Speaker 1: the in on the team. The guy's a really good

822
00:45:45,239 --> 00:45:47,160
Speaker 1: player and he's gonna step in and do it. And

823
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:50,640
Speaker 1: it'll be probably for a week or two, maybe into

824
00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:54,160
Speaker 1: the regular season. He'll go to Even the John Brown

825
00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:59,359
Speaker 1: situation is getting more and more intriguing with each passing week. Here.

826
00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:02,359
Speaker 1: You know, last week you can understand, okay, get him

827
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:06,160
Speaker 1: back into the flow of practice. Let's not dump him

828
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:09,680
Speaker 1: into a game speed setting on a short week, you know,

829
00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:13,040
Speaker 1: against the Broncos on Saturday. I totally get that. Now

830
00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:16,560
Speaker 1: as we get into the second week here, if he

831
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:19,879
Speaker 1: doesn't come off IR and doesn't dress for the Patriots game,

832
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:23,360
Speaker 1: where does that leave you in terms of thinking about

833
00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:27,440
Speaker 1: what John Brown's condition is? Oh, I think it was

834
00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:30,279
Speaker 1: going forward? Well going forward? What will it will remain

835
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:32,279
Speaker 1: to be seen going forward. But I don't think there's

836
00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:36,279
Speaker 1: any question. He had a knee injury, he was fighting through,

837
00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:39,440
Speaker 1: then got a second injury, and they're probably saying, you

838
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:43,960
Speaker 1: know what, and as this team and this coaching staff

839
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:46,200
Speaker 1: has always done, they want him. They're gonna let him

840
00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:49,120
Speaker 1: get one hundred percent before coming back. They don't want

841
00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:51,040
Speaker 1: him to come back and have a setback and lose

842
00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:54,440
Speaker 1: him for the playoffs. And having him at one hundred

843
00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:57,440
Speaker 1: percent is a difference making proposition for them. So there's

844
00:46:57,480 --> 00:47:02,640
Speaker 1: no reason they're undefeated without him. But they're going to

845
00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:05,160
Speaker 1: start playing some competition that is better than the Denver

846
00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:08,240
Speaker 1: Broncos on the horizon and better than the Pittsburgh Steelers

847
00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:10,680
Speaker 1: team they played with. As bad as that sounds, the

848
00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:14,560
Speaker 1: Steelers are crumbling before our eyes, and so you know,

849
00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:18,840
Speaker 1: there was there's no sense of panic or urgency to

850
00:47:18,960 --> 00:47:21,719
Speaker 1: have this guy back because it's a do or die situation. Yeah,

851
00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:25,239
Speaker 1: it's not like your passing offense has suffered much at

852
00:47:25,239 --> 00:47:28,200
Speaker 1: all with him out of the lineup. They've been able

853
00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:30,560
Speaker 1: to pick up the slack. We've talked here on the

854
00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:34,080
Speaker 1: show about, you know, the way Gabriel Davis has proven

855
00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:37,200
Speaker 1: to be a viable third option. We've seen a little

856
00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:39,839
Speaker 1: bit more and a little bit more each passing week

857
00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:42,799
Speaker 1: from Dawson Knox in the passing game. So I think

858
00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:46,920
Speaker 1: those two players collectively have helped pick up the slack

859
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:50,720
Speaker 1: left with John Brown's absence from the lineup. So yeah,

860
00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:53,000
Speaker 1: I mean there is no reason to rush him back,

861
00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:55,200
Speaker 1: but I would like to think, if you know, knowing

862
00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:58,840
Speaker 1: John Brown, as soon as he is healthy, I have

863
00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:01,640
Speaker 1: to believe and gets you know, the clearance that he

864
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:03,879
Speaker 1: needs from the team. I would like to think he's

865
00:48:03,880 --> 00:48:05,480
Speaker 1: gonna want to be back on the field to kind

866
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:08,520
Speaker 1: of tune up for the postseason because, as you and

867
00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:12,680
Speaker 1: several current players even say, the playoffs, that goes up

868
00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:16,360
Speaker 1: a notch, right, So to be off for the length

869
00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:18,879
Speaker 1: of a month and a half and then come back

870
00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:21,800
Speaker 1: and play playoff football. I think that would even be

871
00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:23,680
Speaker 1: a jump for a veteran like John Brown. I'm not

872
00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:26,319
Speaker 1: saying he can't adjust eventually, but I would like to

873
00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:28,160
Speaker 1: think he's gonna want to get some reps in a

874
00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:32,040
Speaker 1: game like setting, presumably in week sixteen or seventeen here

875
00:48:32,280 --> 00:48:35,160
Speaker 1: before undertaking the playoffs, after the layoff that he has had.

876
00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:37,400
Speaker 1: After we're sitting here talking about it. The one thing

877
00:48:37,400 --> 00:48:39,480
Speaker 1: that jumps out of me now as well is in

878
00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:42,600
Speaker 1: the last couple of games, last two games in particular

879
00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:45,720
Speaker 1: without John Brown. I don't think that because John Brown's

880
00:48:45,719 --> 00:48:48,080
Speaker 1: out this happened, but this did happen while he was out.

881
00:48:48,719 --> 00:48:51,080
Speaker 1: Was that against the Pittsburgh Steelers in that last drive

882
00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:53,200
Speaker 1: the game, the seven minute and eleven minute, seven minute,

883
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:56,439
Speaker 1: eleven second drive, and then in this last game when

884
00:48:56,520 --> 00:49:01,200
Speaker 1: the Bills a salted it away. They have run the

885
00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:06,520
Speaker 1: football with great effect in the last couple of weeks,

886
00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:10,960
Speaker 1: and I think that has been a benefit and maybe

887
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:16,200
Speaker 1: something they have cultivated or have evolved into, maybe in

888
00:49:16,239 --> 00:49:19,520
Speaker 1: just in the in the and they've got they're winning

889
00:49:19,520 --> 00:49:21,600
Speaker 1: these games by ten points every week, so they're having

890
00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:24,160
Speaker 1: plenty of time chances to get reps in the running game,

891
00:49:24,520 --> 00:49:27,240
Speaker 1: and I think that's been a huge benefit for him.

892
00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:29,560
Speaker 1: And I don't know it came to me when you said,

893
00:49:29,600 --> 00:49:31,640
Speaker 1: you know, with John Brown out, they've they're just doing

894
00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:35,080
Speaker 1: things differently. Now. They're closing games out with a running game,

895
00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:37,080
Speaker 1: where they never really did that in the first half

896
00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:40,640
Speaker 1: of the season, and being in that position is great. Um,

897
00:49:40,719 --> 00:49:42,040
Speaker 1: And I don't know that that has anything to do

898
00:49:42,040 --> 00:49:43,680
Speaker 1: with John Brown's having us, but it did bring it

899
00:49:43,719 --> 00:49:45,239
Speaker 1: to mind for me that they are, you know, in

900
00:49:45,280 --> 00:49:48,719
Speaker 1: these games you see Zach Moss is running really well

901
00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:52,640
Speaker 1: and so is Devin Singletary, but much more so than

902
00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:54,840
Speaker 1: they did in the first part of the season. Maybe

903
00:49:54,880 --> 00:49:56,960
Speaker 1: a little of it you can attribute to, you know,

904
00:49:57,000 --> 00:49:59,880
Speaker 1: the kind of evolving into what they are now just

905
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:02,600
Speaker 1: because John Brown's out, maybe that was accelerated or whatever.

906
00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:04,640
Speaker 1: But it brought brought to mind the fact that this

907
00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:07,160
Speaker 1: running game has come to life. Yeah, there was for

908
00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:09,480
Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty two yards last week. Yeah, got

909
00:50:09,480 --> 00:50:11,719
Speaker 1: a big chunk at the end on the touchdown run

910
00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:16,200
Speaker 1: by Singletary, So you know, even without that, it's still

911
00:50:16,239 --> 00:50:18,279
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty yards. That's nothing to sneeze aad.

912
00:50:18,320 --> 00:50:21,920

939
00:51:53,680 --> 00:51:56,920
Speaker 1: The Detroit Lions have closed their facility today after a

940
00:51:56,960 --> 00:52:01,120
Speaker 1: pair of positive COVID nineteen tests and placed practice squad

941
00:52:01,160 --> 00:52:04,279
Speaker 1: linebacker Anthony Pittman on the COVID nineteen reserve list. The

942
00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:06,960
Speaker 1: other person who tested positive has not been identified, and

943
00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:10,680
Speaker 1: contact tracing has led to questions about which coaches will

944
00:52:10,719 --> 00:52:13,600
Speaker 1: be available for this weekend's game for the Lions as

945
00:52:13,640 --> 00:52:17,200
Speaker 1: they host the Buccaneers. Interim head coach Darryl Bevill and

946
00:52:17,400 --> 00:52:21,080
Speaker 1: almost all of their defensive coaches have been identified as

947
00:52:21,080 --> 00:52:23,960
Speaker 1: close contacts. Team is currently working with the league to

948
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:26,359
Speaker 1: determine which of those contacts are high risk and who

949
00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:29,799
Speaker 1: will be on hand in Detroit on Saturday NBA opened

950
00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:32,720
Speaker 1: their season last night. News out of Houston Today says

951
00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:36,080
Speaker 1: that Rockets and the league are looking into a video

952
00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:40,400
Speaker 1: circulating on social media showing James Harden at a strip club.

953
00:52:40,719 --> 00:52:42,719
Speaker 1: If the video is found to be recent, it would

954
00:52:42,719 --> 00:52:45,840
Speaker 1: be in violation of the NBA's COVID nineteen protocols and

955
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:47,959
Speaker 1: could mean Harden does not play in the Rocket season

956
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:51,719
Speaker 1: opener tonight against the Thunder. And a show reminder for you,

957

971
00:53:37,719 --> 00:53:40,719
Speaker 1: a Bills fan. I'm only twenty five years home, so

972
00:53:40,800 --> 00:53:44,560
Speaker 1: I mean it's been rough. I toughened it out. I've

973
00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:47,280
Speaker 1: dealt with all these Patriot mans in my whole life.

974
00:53:47,280 --> 00:53:49,840
Speaker 1: And now Brady left, and I kind of wish you

975
00:53:49,960 --> 00:53:52,799
Speaker 1: stated because I think Allen would have tickets of them.

976
00:53:52,800 --> 00:53:54,960
Speaker 1: He's away because last year we were so close. I

977
00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:56,840
Speaker 1: was actually at the game in New England, which is

978
00:53:56,840 --> 00:54:01,800
Speaker 1: overthrown Knox to tie it in for Yeah, that was awesome.

979
00:54:02,520 --> 00:54:05,520
Speaker 1: But me and my dad haven't missed the game on

980
00:54:05,560 --> 00:54:09,040
Speaker 1: Sunday since I was seven years old. That was when

981
00:54:09,040 --> 00:54:12,000
Speaker 1: I really started getting into it. And to be able

982
00:54:12,080 --> 00:54:15,440
Speaker 1: to finally have a division title, it's just it's awesome.

983
00:54:15,480 --> 00:54:19,280
Speaker 1: I remember being my dad watching that game and we needed,

984
00:54:19,400 --> 00:54:22,800
Speaker 1: um Cincinnati to win. We watched the game with Miami.

985
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:25,080
Speaker 1: I mean that was close. Sales caught the all sized

986
00:54:25,160 --> 00:54:28,960
Speaker 1: kick whatever and then um, I remember telling my dad like,

987
00:54:29,040 --> 00:54:32,080
Speaker 1: you know what, there's no way Andy does was gonna

988
00:54:32,080 --> 00:54:34,040
Speaker 1: complete this pass, and there's no we was gonna They're

989
00:54:34,080 --> 00:54:36,959
Speaker 1: gonna win this game. And when he ever caught that ball,

990
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:40,360
Speaker 1: and scored the touchdowns. That was I don't have any kids,

991
00:54:40,360 --> 00:54:42,480
Speaker 1: so that was honestly the best thing that's probably ever

00:54:42,520 --> 00:54:45,319
Speaker 1: happened in my life. Wow. Then we're both on the

00:56:34,840 --> 00:56:37,080
Speaker 1: You're twenty five years old, your team's never done anything,

1030
00:56:37,160 --> 00:56:39,719

00:56:43,040 --> 00:56:51,839
Speaker 1: are ridiculous. Mom. No, that is totally mom. Yeah. It is.

1033
00:56:52,880 --> 00:56:57,359
Speaker 1: On a much different but still NFL related subject. We

1034
00:56:57,400 --> 00:57:00,319
Speaker 1: know that Brian Dable and Leslie Frazier are going to

1035
00:57:00,360 --> 00:57:05,319
Speaker 1: be getting you know, interest elsewhere in the league for

1036
00:57:05,680 --> 00:57:08,960
Speaker 1: teams in search of a new head coach based on

1037
00:57:09,040 --> 00:57:13,520
Speaker 1: their success here, and coach McDermott has been very honest

1038
00:57:13,560 --> 00:57:15,919
Speaker 1: about how he believes both of those men deserve head

1039
00:57:15,920 --> 00:57:19,960
Speaker 1: coaching opportunities. He hasn't been shy in endorsing them for

1040
00:57:20,200 --> 00:57:22,960
Speaker 1: such a role, and the league sent a memo out

1041
00:57:23,080 --> 00:57:27,280
Speaker 1: late yesterday to all thirty two NFL clubs with a

1042
00:57:27,400 --> 00:57:34,320
Speaker 1: revised means by which teams can interview potential head coaching candidates. Obviously,

1043
00:57:34,320 --> 00:57:37,080
Speaker 1: in this COVID world that we're still living in, in

1044
00:57:37,160 --> 00:57:40,200
Speaker 1: person meetings are going to take a little bit more doing,

1045
00:57:41,160 --> 00:57:44,480
Speaker 1: especially if there is travel involved and such. So it

1046
00:57:44,640 --> 00:57:47,920
Speaker 1: sounds as though the first step in the interview process

1047
00:57:47,960 --> 00:57:51,200
Speaker 1: will be done virtually and there are rules that were

1048
00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:52,840
Speaker 1: passed down there in I'm just going to read a

1049
00:57:52,840 --> 00:57:55,560
Speaker 1: few of these. So prior to the end of the

1050
00:57:55,600 --> 00:57:59,120
Speaker 1: regular season, virtual interviews are permitted with head coaching candidates

1051
00:57:59,440 --> 00:58:03,040
Speaker 1: currently employed by a member club, but only with the

1052
00:58:03,080 --> 00:58:08,760
Speaker 1: permission from their current team. And coach McDermott was asked

1053
00:58:08,800 --> 00:58:12,120
Speaker 1: about this today and I gotta check with our people

1054
00:58:12,120 --> 00:58:14,160
Speaker 1: on the other side of the class. Here they've got

1055
00:58:14,160 --> 00:58:17,320
Speaker 1: the sound by ready. So here is coach McDermott addressing

1056
00:58:17,440 --> 00:58:21,760
Speaker 1: how they will navigate these new rules when asked for

1057
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:26,920
Speaker 1: permission to interview either and Brian Dable or Leslie Frasier.

1058
00:58:28,400 --> 00:58:35,360
Speaker 1: The key is is limiting and eliminating distractions and all

1059
00:58:35,360 --> 00:58:39,960
Speaker 1: that type of noise. And so we're going through, like

1060
00:58:40,320 --> 00:58:43,560
Speaker 1: with other things, making decisions on all all those things

1061
00:58:43,560 --> 00:58:46,400
Speaker 1: that are important this time of year. And so we

1062
00:58:46,480 --> 00:58:49,080
Speaker 1: got that memo last night, like you mentioned, and we're

1063
00:58:49,080 --> 00:58:52,200
Speaker 1: going to do it when it's right for our football team.

1064
00:58:52,240 --> 00:58:56,840
Speaker 1: And certainly understand the situation and how important those opportunities

1065
00:58:56,880 --> 00:58:59,120
Speaker 1: are for some of our guys and really proud of

1066
00:58:59,160 --> 00:59:01,480
Speaker 1: them for it. But then at the end of the day,

1067
00:59:01,480 --> 00:59:04,080
Speaker 1: we got to do what's best for the Buffalo Bills.

1068
00:59:04,080 --> 00:59:06,920
Speaker 1: And so we'll handle that internally. And I will say

1069
00:59:06,960 --> 00:59:10,080
Speaker 1: this too, Brian Dable said all the right things. On

1070
00:59:10,160 --> 00:59:12,920
Speaker 1: Monday when he was made available to the media, he

1071
00:59:13,000 --> 00:59:14,840
Speaker 1: was talked about, you know. He was asked, Hey, you

1072
00:59:14,840 --> 00:59:16,600
Speaker 1: know you're getting mentioned in a lot of these head

1073
00:59:16,600 --> 00:59:21,400
Speaker 1: coaching vacancy circles. You're likely to be interviewed this, that,

1074
00:59:21,520 --> 00:59:22,800
Speaker 1: and the other. When are you're gonna do that? How

1075
00:59:22,800 --> 00:59:24,360
Speaker 1: are you going to do that? Blah blah blah, And

1076
00:59:24,400 --> 00:59:27,920
Speaker 1: he said, look, I don't want to be distracted from

1077
00:59:27,960 --> 00:59:30,760
Speaker 1: what I'm doing right now, So I'm going to focus

1078
00:59:30,800 --> 00:59:35,640
Speaker 1: on what I'm doing right now, right now. I think

1079
00:59:35,680 --> 00:59:40,240
Speaker 1: if and when an interview request comes, they'll handle it accordingly.

1080
00:59:40,320 --> 00:59:44,360
Speaker 1: But it sounds as though Brian Dabele does not want

1081
00:59:44,400 --> 00:59:46,640
Speaker 1: to be pulled away from the current task in hand

1082
00:59:46,640 --> 00:59:48,320
Speaker 1: because I think he, along with a lot of other

1083
00:59:48,360 --> 00:59:50,439
Speaker 1: people on that coaching staff and in that locker room,

1084
00:59:51,760 --> 00:59:53,840
Speaker 1: believe this team can go a long way, and to

1085
00:59:54,040 --> 00:59:57,800
Speaker 1: compromise that, I think goes against his principles as a coach,

1086
00:59:58,480 --> 01:00:03,640
Speaker 1: given with the dream opportunity sitting out there for him.

1087
01:00:03,680 --> 01:00:06,200
Speaker 1: So I give him a lot of credit for saying that. Now,

1088
01:00:06,200 --> 01:00:09,560
Speaker 1: taking this a step further. Once the NFL regular season ends.

1089
01:00:11,240 --> 01:00:15,640
Speaker 1: Virtual interviews for head coach or coordinator positions may begin

1090
01:00:15,880 --> 01:00:19,120
Speaker 1: with coaches whose clubs have a bye in the first

1091
01:00:19,120 --> 01:00:22,080
Speaker 1: week of the playoffs and may continue through the conclusion

1092
01:00:22,120 --> 01:00:25,400
Speaker 1: of the wild card games on January tenth. Requests for

1093
01:00:25,480 --> 01:00:30,120
Speaker 1: interviews at that point cannot be denied by the NFL

1094
01:00:30,200 --> 01:00:34,760
Speaker 1: club for whom that person currently works. So the Bills

1095
01:00:34,800 --> 01:00:37,040
Speaker 1: are not going to get a bye. We've already determined

1096
01:00:37,080 --> 01:00:40,000
Speaker 1: they cannot catch the Chiefs. They can tie the Chiefs,

1097
01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:42,320
Speaker 1: but then they would lose on tiebreaker via the head

1098
01:00:42,320 --> 01:00:45,000
Speaker 1: to head loss that they had back in Week six, which, oh,

1099
01:00:45,000 --> 01:00:47,120
Speaker 1: by the way, is the last, well the second to

1100
01:00:47,200 --> 01:00:49,000
Speaker 1: last loss that they have next to the Hail Murray.

1101
01:00:50,760 --> 01:00:53,520
Speaker 1: So they wouldn't fall into that category because they're not

1102
01:00:53,520 --> 01:00:55,520
Speaker 1: going to have a bye going into the playoffs. They're

1103
01:00:55,520 --> 01:00:57,560
Speaker 1: getting ready for the first week of the playoffs, so

1104
01:00:57,880 --> 01:01:01,640
Speaker 1: to play with Green Bay in Kansas City. Yes, So

1105
01:01:01,680 --> 01:01:05,160
Speaker 1: then the next step is virtual interviews with coaches whose

1106
01:01:05,200 --> 01:01:09,400
Speaker 1: team one a wild card game. May begin for head

1107
01:01:09,400 --> 01:01:13,400
Speaker 1: coaching positions through the conclusion of the divisional games. That's

1108
01:01:13,400 --> 01:01:15,520
Speaker 1: where the rubber is going to meet the road for

1109
01:01:15,720 --> 01:01:19,960
Speaker 1: the Bills with Leslie Fraser and or Brian Dable, because

1110
01:01:20,240 --> 01:01:22,960
Speaker 1: we know they're gonna probably they're gonna be playing first

1111
01:01:23,000 --> 01:01:25,720
Speaker 1: week of the playoffs, so you can't interview any of

1112
01:01:25,720 --> 01:01:29,840
Speaker 1: their people that week. After that week, though, that is

1113
01:01:29,840 --> 01:01:32,560
Speaker 1: when the interview window opens, and you're going to have

1114
01:01:32,600 --> 01:01:36,400
Speaker 1: to figure out how, when, and what to do with

1115
01:01:36,440 --> 01:01:39,439
Speaker 1: that circumstance, knowing you're going to be preparing for another

1116
01:01:39,440 --> 01:01:42,960
Speaker 1: playoff game. I gotta tell you, Steve, being the number

1117
01:01:42,960 --> 01:01:50,640
Speaker 1: two seed may actually help facilitate getting an interview done

1118
01:01:50,760 --> 01:01:54,600
Speaker 1: virtually anyway for either of these two men, because they're

1119
01:01:54,640 --> 01:01:56,680
Speaker 1: not going to be worried about a travel schedule at

1120
01:01:56,680 --> 01:01:58,480
Speaker 1: the end of the week. They know they're staying put,

1121
01:01:59,200 --> 01:02:03,440
Speaker 1: and so that might afford them the time to conduct

1122
01:02:03,440 --> 01:02:08,680
Speaker 1: a virtual interview, however long it takes, and you know,

1123
01:02:08,800 --> 01:02:11,440
Speaker 1: cram that into the schedule of getting a game plan ready.

1124
01:02:11,480 --> 01:02:14,240
Speaker 1: You can also players. You can also catch them say,

1125
01:02:14,280 --> 01:02:16,120
Speaker 1: for instance, it's a one o'clock game, well, it'll be

1126
01:02:16,200 --> 01:02:18,640
Speaker 1: Monday night this week, but if you have a one

1127
01:02:18,640 --> 01:02:21,960
Speaker 1: o'clock game on a Sunday coming up for the final

1128
01:02:21,960 --> 01:02:24,520
Speaker 1: week of the season or whatever, you can or after that,

1129
01:02:25,840 --> 01:02:27,320
Speaker 1: you don't have to. You can do it while the

1130
01:02:27,320 --> 01:02:29,080
Speaker 1: other team's traveling. You know what I'm saying, you don't

1131
01:02:29,080 --> 01:02:30,640
Speaker 1: have a flight to catch. You can do it right

1132
01:02:30,680 --> 01:02:33,160
Speaker 1: after the game. As soon as that's over, you shower up,

1133
01:02:33,160 --> 01:02:35,760
Speaker 1: you go home, and you flip on zoom and you're

1134
01:02:35,920 --> 01:02:38,560
Speaker 1: interviewing for a head coaching And the other thing to

1135
01:02:38,680 --> 01:02:43,920
Speaker 1: remember here is after that window that takes place after

1136
01:02:44,080 --> 01:02:47,920
Speaker 1: the wild card weekend where Brian Dabele or Leslie Frasier

1137
01:02:47,960 --> 01:02:53,840
Speaker 1: can be interviewed interviews with coaches whose teams. So let's

1138
01:02:53,840 --> 01:02:56,800
Speaker 1: say the Bills win their wild card game, Brian Dabele

1139
01:02:56,840 --> 01:02:59,439
Speaker 1: and or Leslie Frasier get an interview that week after

1140
01:02:59,480 --> 01:03:04,160
Speaker 1: the wild hard victory. That's it between that point in

1141
01:03:04,200 --> 01:03:08,680
Speaker 1: time and the Super Bowl. Right, So, interviews with coaches

1142
01:03:08,680 --> 01:03:12,720
Speaker 1: whose teams are still participating in the playoffs prohibited until

1143
01:03:12,840 --> 01:03:17,600
Speaker 1: January twenty fifth, which is after the conference championship games.

1144
01:03:18,080 --> 01:03:22,880
Speaker 1: So if the Bills keep winning get to the conference championship,

1145
01:03:22,960 --> 01:03:27,160
Speaker 1: let's just say, hypothetically they win the AFC title January

1146
01:03:27,160 --> 01:03:30,440
Speaker 1: twenty fifth, day after the AFC Title game. Assistant coaches

1147
01:03:30,440 --> 01:03:33,640
Speaker 1: whose clubs are participating in the Super Bowl who have

1148
01:03:33,720 --> 01:03:37,960
Speaker 1: previously interviewed for another club's head coach position may have

1149
01:03:38,040 --> 01:03:41,920
Speaker 1: a second interview at that time, but at no point

1150
01:03:42,000 --> 01:03:45,520
Speaker 1: January thirty first, So the window opens after wildcard weekend,

1151
01:03:46,640 --> 01:03:49,080
Speaker 1: even if the Bills are still playing, and then the

1152
01:03:49,120 --> 01:03:54,120
Speaker 1: window opens again after conference championship weekend if the Bills

1153
01:03:54,120 --> 01:03:56,720
Speaker 1: are in the super Bowl. So you know they say,

1154
01:03:56,720 --> 01:03:58,280
Speaker 1: oh well, if the Bills keep winning, there won't be

1155
01:03:58,280 --> 01:04:01,439
Speaker 1: an opportunity for them to interview. Sadly there will. Sure,

1156
01:04:01,600 --> 01:04:04,040
Speaker 1: there's no way to keep him from interviewing, and it's

1157
01:04:04,120 --> 01:04:06,120
Speaker 1: very clear that coach McDermott does not want to stand

1158
01:04:06,160 --> 01:04:09,120
Speaker 1: in the way of those opportunities. But he's also meant

1159
01:04:09,240 --> 01:04:11,480
Speaker 1: his first responsibilities to his team and do everything he

1160
01:04:11,520 --> 01:04:13,640
Speaker 1: can so those guys are ready and can get their

1161
01:04:13,640 --> 01:04:16,600
Speaker 1: work done for these playoffs. And let's make no mistake,

1162
01:04:17,680 --> 01:04:22,360
Speaker 1: particularly Brian Dayball, his value was doing nothing but skyrocketing.

1163
01:04:23,160 --> 01:04:26,720
Speaker 1: Yes the better Joe skyrocketed again today with another Offensive

1164
01:04:26,760 --> 01:04:29,240
Speaker 1: Player of the Week award for Josh Allen. His guy

1165
01:04:29,360 --> 01:04:32,040
Speaker 1: who was a punchline when he was drafted, is now

1166
01:04:32,160 --> 01:04:35,560
Speaker 1: in the conversation outside of the outside looking in on

1167
01:04:35,640 --> 01:04:40,360
Speaker 1: the MVP race and just won his fourth AFC Offensive

1168
01:04:40,360 --> 01:04:44,280
Speaker 1: Player of the Week award, So Brian day Ball in

1169
01:04:44,320 --> 01:04:48,439
Speaker 1: a league that is dominated by quarterbacks, Brian day Ball

1170
01:04:48,680 --> 01:04:52,200
Speaker 1: is as smoking hot a prospect to come in and

1171
01:04:52,240 --> 01:04:56,280
Speaker 1: fix your quarterback as anybody ever. We heard last week

1172
01:04:56,440 --> 01:04:59,160
Speaker 1: when we had Mark Slayreth on the show, and we've

1173
01:04:59,160 --> 01:05:01,080
Speaker 1: heard it from other guests that we've had on the show,

1174
01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:05,520
Speaker 1: he said, the number one thing you want if you

1175
01:05:05,560 --> 01:05:09,760
Speaker 1: are a franchise seeking a head coach is a guy

1176
01:05:09,800 --> 01:05:14,240
Speaker 1: that you know can develop a young quarterback. Steve, you

1177
01:05:14,280 --> 01:05:16,280
Speaker 1: mentioned it the other day on the show, or maybe

1178
01:05:16,280 --> 01:05:18,280
Speaker 1: it was during a break. Yes, it was during a break,

1179
01:05:18,280 --> 01:05:21,320
Speaker 1: so we'll mention it here. But you were looking at

1180
01:05:21,320 --> 01:05:23,480
Speaker 1: the top draft choices after the Jets kind of foul

1181
01:05:23,600 --> 01:05:25,560
Speaker 1: things up with their victory over the Rams last week,

1182
01:05:25,600 --> 01:05:29,000
Speaker 1: and you're like, Okay, Jacksonville's got the first pick, Jets

1183
01:05:29,000 --> 01:05:31,440
Speaker 1: have the second pick, and there's another team in the

1184
01:05:31,440 --> 01:05:35,120
Speaker 1: AFC that's going to have a high pick. Again, well,

1185
01:05:35,160 --> 01:05:39,479
Speaker 1: Cincinnati has their quarterbacks, Cincinnati, but those are two more

1186
01:05:39,520 --> 01:05:43,400
Speaker 1: teams that could have two more young quarterbacks in the system.

1187
01:05:44,320 --> 01:05:47,280
Speaker 1: And you look at this AFC conference, Steve, as you

1188
01:05:47,360 --> 01:05:52,400
Speaker 1: pointed out Josh Allen and Buffalo. Okay, Lamar Jackson in Baltimore.

1189
01:05:54,160 --> 01:05:57,400
Speaker 1: And then you have these two teams, the Jets, whether

1190
01:05:57,440 --> 01:05:59,640
Speaker 1: they have Sam Darnold or one of the top quarterbacks

1191
01:05:59,640 --> 01:06:02,080
Speaker 1: in the have to pick number two. And then you

1192
01:06:02,120 --> 01:06:06,040
Speaker 1: have Jacksonville, who's presumably gonna have Trevor Lawrence, and then

1193
01:06:06,400 --> 01:06:12,160
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes Justin Herbert. These are all AFC teams, right,

1194
01:06:12,240 --> 01:06:16,040
Speaker 1: all of them. You are gonna be chock full of

1195
01:06:16,120 --> 01:06:20,560
Speaker 1: young quarterbacks in the AFC. It's gonna be competitive. I mean,

1196
01:06:20,600 --> 01:06:22,760
Speaker 1: there's a reason why there's six teams with ten wins

1197
01:06:22,840 --> 01:06:25,480
Speaker 1: right now. LA Chargers have got to be screaming to

1198
01:06:25,520 --> 01:06:28,120
Speaker 1: get somebody in to develop Justin Herbert and Brian Dabo

1199
01:06:28,200 --> 01:06:29,800
Speaker 1: would be the guy, as seen as how they played

1200
01:06:29,840 --> 01:06:31,400
Speaker 1: him this year and we got a load of what

1201
01:06:31,520 --> 01:06:34,720
Speaker 1: Josh Allen did to them and thinking their guy could

1202
01:06:34,760 --> 01:06:38,280
Speaker 1: do the same thing. Certainly, Herbert has shown some ability

1203
01:06:38,320 --> 01:06:40,480
Speaker 1: and some you know, he's been coached pretty well thus far,

1204
01:06:40,640 --> 01:06:44,520
Speaker 1: it seems like. But if the Chargers are gonna do

1205
01:06:44,600 --> 01:06:47,320
Speaker 1: away with Anthony Lynn and get a new head coach

1206
01:06:48,920 --> 01:06:53,680
Speaker 1: for me for those guys and Jacksonville, Yeah, and let's

1207
01:06:53,720 --> 01:06:58,240
Speaker 1: not forget the two gms and Jacksonville and La Francis

1208
01:06:58,320 --> 01:07:01,040
Speaker 1: High School guy. They're Saint Francis High schoo graduates who

1209
01:07:01,040 --> 01:07:03,280
Speaker 1: went to high school with Brian Dable, right, so they

1210
01:07:03,320 --> 01:07:08,800
Speaker 1: know him inside and out. Yeah, so that's you know, Okay,

1211
01:07:08,880 --> 01:07:11,840
Speaker 1: go to San Diego. Just don't don't go to the Jets.

1212
01:07:11,880 --> 01:07:13,760
Speaker 1: Don't go to La go to La. Don't go to

1213
01:07:13,800 --> 01:07:17,760
Speaker 1: the Jets. You know, Jacksonville. I don't care if he

Speaker 1: played golf with Brian just you know, just a great guy.

1220
01:07:34,640 --> 01:07:36,400
Speaker 1: And I know this too. I've talked to Josh about him.

1221
01:07:36,480 --> 01:07:39,640
Speaker 1: Josh loves the guy. I mean, they they he's the best.

1222
01:07:39,680 --> 01:07:42,600
Speaker 1: They got great relationships with him. He's a great relationship guy.

1223
01:07:43,320 --> 01:07:48,520
Speaker 1: He's a great coach. He's got an incredible resume of experience.

1224
01:07:49,320 --> 01:07:51,840
Speaker 1: You think about that when he burst onto the scenes.

1225
01:07:52,840 --> 01:07:56,120
Speaker 1: He's the guy that called the play that two or

1226
01:07:56,200 --> 01:07:59,080
Speaker 1: through in the championship game, as a true freshman. When

1227
01:07:59,080 --> 01:08:03,320
Speaker 1: he replaced Jalen Hurts, Day Balls the guy that called that.

1228
01:08:05,120 --> 01:08:08,080
Speaker 1: Dave Bows, the guy that calls the play. So he

1229
01:08:08,320 --> 01:08:13,160
Speaker 1: worked with Tua. Yeah, and Jalen Hurts and he goes

1230
01:08:13,240 --> 01:08:15,320
Speaker 1: so they send in two off the bench in the

1231
01:08:15,360 --> 01:08:20,120
Speaker 1: second half, which is an unbelievable move, and he throws

1232
01:08:20,360 --> 01:08:24,519
Speaker 1: that shot down and Dave Ball's the guy. Yeah. So

1233
01:08:24,920 --> 01:08:29,840
Speaker 1: he's got five Super Bowl rings and National Championship ring

1234
01:08:30,439 --> 01:08:32,479
Speaker 1: and he's done what he said, and he's got Josh

1235
01:08:32,479 --> 01:08:37,040
Speaker 1: Allen on his his development on his resume. So Brian

1236
01:08:37,160 --> 01:08:40,639
Speaker 1: day Bole is and I'll tell you what too, there's

1237
01:08:40,640 --> 01:08:44,000
Speaker 1: another Eric B. Enemy is high on that list. That

1238
01:08:44,040 --> 01:08:46,519
Speaker 1: guy's an impressive guy. And I know people here Buffalo

1239
01:08:46,600 --> 01:08:48,400
Speaker 1: don't know Eric b. Enemy. He's the guy that's right,

1240
01:08:48,560 --> 01:08:50,880
Speaker 1: you know, with he doesn't call the plays for Kansas City.

1241
01:08:51,920 --> 01:08:53,840
Speaker 1: He has called plays for Kansay, but doesn't call him

1242
01:08:53,840 --> 01:08:57,880
Speaker 1: all the time. He's an impressive dude. So he's gonna

1243
01:08:57,880 --> 01:09:02,639
Speaker 1: get some consideration as well. So there are a lot

1244
01:09:02,640 --> 01:09:08,759
Speaker 1: of guys who are in the running, but Brian Dable

1245
01:09:08,840 --> 01:09:12,040
Speaker 1: deserves a ton of credit because he's got a defensive

1246
01:09:12,080 --> 01:09:14,479
Speaker 1: head coach. It's not like Sean McDermott's call an offensive

1247
01:09:14,479 --> 01:09:18,720
Speaker 1: place you know, and or given Josh Allen tips on

1248
01:09:18,720 --> 01:09:22,120
Speaker 1: his throwing motion. Let's go back to the phones. As

1259
01:09:54,240 --> 01:09:57,600

1263
01:10:06,360 --> 01:10:08,519
Speaker 1: this was the year that he changed his number. I

1264
01:10:08,520 --> 01:10:10,800
Speaker 1: think it was mid season or something like that. Yeah,

1265
01:10:10,800 --> 01:10:14,720
Speaker 1: he went from fifty five to ninety seven. Yeah, and

1266
01:10:14,760 --> 01:10:17,639
Speaker 1: they are able to pick up the ninety seven and man,

1267
01:10:17,840 --> 01:10:21,479
Speaker 1: I was. I was crying. It was crazy. It was

1273
01:10:38,760 --> 01:10:41,640
Speaker 1: pulled it off, and every time dun me because they

1274
01:10:41,640 --> 01:10:43,639
Speaker 1: weren't the type of people that would go out because

1275
01:10:43,840 --> 01:10:46,519
Speaker 1: and this jersey was was the real deal with it,

1276
01:10:46,640 --> 01:10:50,799

1278
01:10:53,200 --> 01:10:56,280
Speaker 1: I still owned the jersey and I wear every um

01:10:56,280 --> 01:11:00,559
Speaker 1: Susan opener. So thank you, gentlemen. I love that dude too,

1280
01:11:00,640 --> 01:11:05,200
Speaker 1: so I've I can feel you. Yeah, that's that was big.

1281
01:11:05,479 --> 01:11:07,840
Speaker 1: It was was kind of a thing. Then when when

1282
01:11:08,000 --> 01:11:10,960
Speaker 1: Biscuit got here, Scott Ratissick already had number ninety seven,

1283
01:11:11,400 --> 01:11:15,000
Speaker 1: and Biscuit didn't say anything, he just wore number fifty five. Yeah.

1284
01:11:15,120 --> 01:11:17,880
Speaker 1: And then when Radissect that's year subsequently was went to

1285
01:11:17,960 --> 01:11:20,439
Speaker 1: Kansas City that number was open and Biscuit put in

1286
01:11:20,479 --> 01:11:22,320
Speaker 1: for it and they said sure, of course, they said, yeah,

1287
01:11:22,360 --> 01:11:24,880
Speaker 1: whatever you want, and he wore that for the remainder

1288
01:11:24,880 --> 01:11:27,679
Speaker 1: of his time here. Yeah, but yeah, you can fall

1289
01:11:27,760 --> 01:11:30,920
Speaker 1: victim to the number change we were. I remember Stefan

1290
01:11:31,000 --> 01:11:33,679
Speaker 1: Gilmour when he got here. He was twenty seven when

1291
01:11:33,680 --> 01:11:36,559
Speaker 1: he started his career, and then Terrence McGee was no

1292
01:11:36,600 --> 01:11:39,639
Speaker 1: longer on the roster and he took twenty four. And

1293
01:11:40,840 --> 01:11:42,639
Speaker 1: I know some people that got stuck with the twenty

1294
01:11:42,640 --> 01:11:44,600
Speaker 1: sevens and you're like, dang it. But then if you

1295
01:11:44,680 --> 01:11:46,200
Speaker 1: just held on for a couple of more years, you

1296
01:11:46,200 --> 01:11:48,280
Speaker 1: could have ripped Gilmore off the back and stuck White

1297
01:11:48,280 --> 01:11:53,160
Speaker 1: on it. Yeah, you're new name name plate. Yeah, all right,

1298
01:11:53,200 --> 01:11:55,120
Speaker 1: we have to take a break, but when we return,

01:13:08,840 --> 01:13:15,240
Speaker 1: That that is spectacularly that is spectacularly awful. Yeah, I

1319
01:13:15,280 --> 01:13:17,800
Speaker 1: look at that thing. I do want to ask you

1320
01:13:18,120 --> 01:13:20,000
Speaker 1: because we try to start this off whenever we have

1321
01:13:20,000 --> 01:13:21,639

1323
01:13:25,800 --> 01:13:27,960
Speaker 1: we are close to home. That's what we do. And

1324
01:13:28,040 --> 01:13:30,080
Speaker 1: you know, I'm I'm back to work on this show,

1325
01:13:30,160 --> 01:13:33,519
Speaker 1: mom and tested five times a week, four times a week,

1326
01:13:33,560 --> 01:13:37,439
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, just you know, staying home, staying

1327
01:13:37,479 --> 01:13:40,040
Speaker 1: home and being safe. That has been an industry hit

1328
01:13:40,120 --> 01:13:44,080
Speaker 1: hard by it has it not oh, just huge. I mean,

1329
01:13:44,240 --> 01:13:47,680
Speaker 1: you know, you know, every and everybody wants to go

1330
01:13:47,720 --> 01:13:51,240
Speaker 1: back to work. You know, people want movies and content

1331
01:13:51,280 --> 01:13:53,479
Speaker 1: and everything. But I don't know where it's all gonna

1332
01:13:53,479 --> 01:13:56,439
Speaker 1: go because you know, movie theaters they're not open right now.

1333
01:13:56,600 --> 01:14:00,439
Speaker 1: Rum you know, are on a very very limited basis.

1334
01:14:00,479 --> 01:14:03,200
Speaker 1: So it's going through a big growing pain right now,

1335
01:14:03,280 --> 01:14:07,080
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. Right before we get into the bills, here,

1336
01:14:07,240 --> 01:14:10,960
Speaker 1: the character that you play on Mom, Adam Janetkowski, I

1337
01:14:11,040 --> 01:14:14,280
Speaker 1: kind of find I find the character name kind of

1338
01:14:14,439 --> 01:14:16,360
Speaker 1: I chuckle a little bit because I think we know

1339
01:14:16,400 --> 01:14:21,240
Speaker 1: about the healthy Polish population in cheek Dawauga, of all places,

1340
01:14:21,280 --> 01:14:23,000
Speaker 1: and it kind of struck me as funny, like here's

1341
01:14:23,040 --> 01:14:26,160
Speaker 1: a Buffalo native playing a guy with a Polish last name.

1342
01:14:26,200 --> 01:14:27,880
Speaker 1: Did you kind of chuckle at that too when you

1343
01:14:27,920 --> 01:14:31,000
Speaker 1: kind of first saw the script or well, you know

1344
01:14:31,080 --> 01:14:34,160
Speaker 1: that our showrunner is Nick Baca, who's a Buffalo right

1345
01:14:34,240 --> 01:14:36,599
Speaker 1: right right? And uh, you know, I've never asked him

1346
01:14:36,640 --> 01:14:39,400
Speaker 1: about that. I thought I'm just gonna leave that one alone.

1347
01:14:39,600 --> 01:14:42,639
Speaker 1: But let's put it this way. I feel I feel

1348
01:14:42,640 --> 01:14:45,599
Speaker 1: at home, yeah, no doubt, no doubt. How at home

1349
01:14:45,640 --> 01:14:49,120
Speaker 1: do you feel now with the way these bills are playing. Uh,

1350
01:14:49,560 --> 01:14:52,040
Speaker 1: you're wearing your bill stuff proudly. I have to imagine

1351
01:14:52,120 --> 01:14:56,240
Speaker 1: right about now, Listen, we look forward to every whether

1352
01:14:56,280 --> 01:15:01,559
Speaker 1: it's a Saturday, Sunday or a Monday night. U you know, listen,

1353
01:15:01,600 --> 01:15:03,400
Speaker 1: we all had the question at the beginning of the year,

1354
01:15:03,439 --> 01:15:06,080
Speaker 1: and we had high hopes for what we would be

1355
01:15:06,120 --> 01:15:08,840
Speaker 1: this year or could be, and hoping that all these

1356
01:15:08,880 --> 01:15:11,840
Speaker 1: pieces of the puzzle that are coming together, especially with

1357
01:15:11,960 --> 01:15:14,479
Speaker 1: you know, you know, you know, with the leadership with

1358
01:15:14,560 --> 01:15:16,920
Speaker 1: Sean and his staff and everything, and and you know,

1359
01:15:16,960 --> 01:15:19,760
Speaker 1: you keep your fingers crossed. But as the season went on,

1360
01:15:20,680 --> 01:15:23,720
Speaker 1: you know, I have to tell you, I just it's

1361
01:15:23,880 --> 01:15:27,080
Speaker 1: it's it's not like I'm waiting for like, ah, where's

1362
01:15:27,120 --> 01:15:30,320
Speaker 1: the mistake going to come? It's more like, where's the

1363
01:15:30,360 --> 01:15:33,880
Speaker 1: next great play gonna come from? And um, and that's

1364
01:15:33,960 --> 01:15:36,120
Speaker 1: what it's turning into for all of us. I mean,

1365
01:15:36,960 --> 01:15:39,639
Speaker 1: you gotta be blind not to watch this magic start

1366
01:15:39,680 --> 01:15:42,680
Speaker 1: to happen on the sidelines and yet see it in

1367
01:15:42,880 --> 01:15:48,200
Speaker 1: Josh's eyes. And it's a good feeling because I just

1368
01:15:48,240 --> 01:15:51,240
Speaker 1: feel like, uh, we're just we're and you know what

1369
01:15:51,360 --> 01:15:54,560
Speaker 1: I have to tell you also too, I'm not in Buffalo, obviously,

1370
01:15:54,600 --> 01:15:58,360
Speaker 1: I'm out here in southern California, so I'm not getting

1371
01:15:58,560 --> 01:16:02,720
Speaker 1: you know, mostly Bill's coverage. You know, I'm getting the

1372
01:16:02,840 --> 01:16:05,240
Speaker 1: NFL in general a little bit more tilted to the

1373
01:16:05,320 --> 01:16:08,160
Speaker 1: Rams and the Chargers. So I'm watching everything, and I'm

1374
01:16:08,160 --> 01:16:10,840
Speaker 1: watching an NFL network in the shows and that, and

1375
01:16:10,880 --> 01:16:14,760
Speaker 1: it still feels like we're just a little bit under

1376
01:16:14,800 --> 01:16:18,880
Speaker 1: the radar. There's bigger stories that are always like leading

1377
01:16:18,880 --> 01:16:21,360
Speaker 1: the way, and I kind of like it. It's not

1378
01:16:21,400 --> 01:16:24,320
Speaker 1: that people aren't talking about the Bills, but we're just

1379
01:16:24,720 --> 01:16:27,080
Speaker 1: in a way, we're just really catching up with Like,

1380
01:16:27,560 --> 01:16:29,840
Speaker 1: you know, that game in San fran was big, the

1381
01:16:29,840 --> 01:16:32,799
Speaker 1: game against Pittsburgh was huge, and all of a sudden,

1382
01:16:32,800 --> 01:16:36,200
Speaker 1: the word elite in the AFC started to be part

1383
01:16:36,200 --> 01:16:39,760
Speaker 1: of the narrative. And we've known that and we've seen

1384
01:16:39,800 --> 01:16:42,599
Speaker 1: it coming, and I love it that other people are.

1385
01:16:42,800 --> 01:16:44,840
Speaker 1: I think one of the great things about this is that,

1386
01:16:45,000 --> 01:16:48,599
Speaker 1: you know, particularly Bills fans can be really excited about

1387
01:16:48,640 --> 01:16:52,160
Speaker 1: how a big an accomplishment the National Football League has

1388
01:16:52,560 --> 01:16:55,519
Speaker 1: has done in just getting all of these games in.

1389
01:16:55,680 --> 01:16:58,200
Speaker 1: Certainly the schedule hasn't been fair, it's been shuffled around,

1390
01:16:58,240 --> 01:17:01,200
Speaker 1: but they haven't missed a game yet. And man, what

1391
01:17:01,320 --> 01:17:03,320
Speaker 1: a relief in a year where the Bills are playing

1392
01:17:03,360 --> 01:17:06,559
Speaker 1: so well not to have stuff go haywire, completely off

1393
01:17:06,560 --> 01:17:09,160
Speaker 1: the rails in a season that could have been lost.

1394
01:17:09,920 --> 01:17:12,080
Speaker 1: It's the one where it looks like the Bills finally

1395
01:17:12,120 --> 01:17:16,759
Speaker 1: found themselves. Oh that is so true. I mean it,

1396
01:17:16,760 --> 01:17:19,640
Speaker 1: it is amazing. And it's not like the NFL is

1397
01:17:19,680 --> 01:17:22,000
Speaker 1: like giving people a free pass. Hey, just don't tell

1398
01:17:22,080 --> 01:17:25,559
Speaker 1: us about those eight positive tests you got. You got tests.

1399
01:17:25,840 --> 01:17:29,360
Speaker 1: People are going away. We've felt it. Everybody has, except

1400
01:17:29,360 --> 01:17:32,120
Speaker 1: for maybe Seattle. I don't know, a couple of weeks ago.

1401
01:17:32,160 --> 01:17:35,679
Speaker 1: They hadn't popped the positive test all year. But teams

1402
01:17:35,720 --> 01:17:39,719
Speaker 1: have game plans in place. It's making a difference. They're

1403
01:17:39,760 --> 01:17:42,639
Speaker 1: trying to keep it safe. But you're right, I mean,

1404
01:17:42,680 --> 01:17:46,400
Speaker 1: we're I can't believe we're coming up to week sixteen

1405
01:17:46,520 --> 01:17:49,320
Speaker 1: right now, and and and they got all the games in.

1406
01:17:49,479 --> 01:17:53,080
Speaker 1: It's just amazing, and it's it's great for us obviously.

1407
01:17:53,439 --> 01:17:56,719
Speaker 1: I also read this morning that's you know, Governor Colmo's

1408
01:17:56,760 --> 01:18:02,960
Speaker 1: considering a plan of sixty seven hundred potential fans that

1409
01:18:03,000 --> 01:18:05,080
Speaker 1: could be at the game. So of course, you know,

1410
01:18:05,760 --> 01:18:08,000
Speaker 1: you know, my sons are like, we're going right, and

1411
01:18:08,080 --> 01:18:10,559
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, not slow down. I don't know if

1412
01:18:10,560 --> 01:18:13,800
Speaker 1: that's happening, but I mean that would just be an

1413
01:18:13,800 --> 01:18:18,280
Speaker 1: amazing thing for the fans of Buffalo. And but listen,

1414
01:18:18,400 --> 01:18:21,040
Speaker 1: whether we're there or not, I really don't get the

1415
01:18:21,120 --> 01:18:25,320
Speaker 1: sense for Bills fans that that we're you know, it's

1416
01:18:25,360 --> 01:18:28,040
Speaker 1: taking anything away from us, you know, to sit down,

1417
01:18:28,360 --> 01:18:31,040
Speaker 1: to turn on that TV and to watch our team

1418
01:18:31,040 --> 01:18:35,040
Speaker 1: play has just been thrilling this year. I just might Yeah,

1419
01:18:35,280 --> 01:18:37,639
Speaker 1: something that we've talked about on the show a lot

1420
01:18:37,680 --> 01:18:41,599
Speaker 1: Bill is all of the scar tissue that Bills fans

1421
01:18:41,640 --> 01:18:44,320
Speaker 1: carry around with them from all the disappointment for the

1422
01:18:44,400 --> 01:18:47,880
Speaker 1: better part of the last twenty years. And it's been

1423
01:18:48,080 --> 01:18:51,680
Speaker 1: a task for a lot of the fans to finally

1424
01:18:51,800 --> 01:18:56,799
Speaker 1: let their guard down and enjoy this team knowing, hey,

1425
01:18:57,040 --> 01:18:59,280
Speaker 1: this is a damn good team that they have this year.

1426
01:18:59,600 --> 01:19:02,960
Speaker 1: So my question to you is when did your scar

1427
01:19:03,080 --> 01:19:05,320
Speaker 1: tissue kind of break up a little bit? What game

1428
01:19:05,880 --> 01:19:08,280
Speaker 1: was it that sold you? Like, you know what, I

1429
01:19:08,280 --> 01:19:10,200
Speaker 1: don't think this team's going to disappoint us this year.

1430
01:19:10,200 --> 01:19:12,519
Speaker 1: This team's good. When did you get there? When'd you

1431
01:19:12,520 --> 01:19:15,200
Speaker 1: get to that point. You know, There's been a few

1432
01:19:15,200 --> 01:19:17,320
Speaker 1: moments along the way. And I'll tell you the first

1433
01:19:17,400 --> 01:19:19,639
Speaker 1: moment that I had. I mean, we started off the season,

1434
01:19:19,760 --> 01:19:22,479
Speaker 1: we had the Jets right off the bat. We kind

1435
01:19:22,479 --> 01:19:24,519
Speaker 1: of figured, you know, we felt real confident about winning

1436
01:19:24,560 --> 01:19:27,840
Speaker 1: that game. My son was having such a meltdown in

1437
01:19:27,960 --> 01:19:31,360
Speaker 1: that Rams game when they took the lead with a

1438
01:19:31,400 --> 01:19:34,200
Speaker 1: couple of minutes to go, and I looked at my

1439
01:19:34,240 --> 01:19:36,960
Speaker 1: boy and I said, listen, if this team is as

1440
01:19:37,000 --> 01:19:39,679
Speaker 1: good as we think we are and Josh is ready

1441
01:19:39,720 --> 01:19:42,160
Speaker 1: to step to the play, well here's the moment. Here's

1442
01:19:42,160 --> 01:19:45,519
Speaker 1: the moment right now. And we won that game. That

1443
01:19:45,640 --> 01:19:49,639
Speaker 1: was a biggie for me also too. You know, yeah,

1444
01:19:49,680 --> 01:19:51,719
Speaker 1: here we go. I love you got the clip playing.

1445
01:19:52,760 --> 01:19:54,680
Speaker 1: I'm not even looking at you guys anymore. I'm just

1446
01:19:54,720 --> 01:19:58,920
Speaker 1: gonna watch this. There we go, boom, there's it. But

1447
01:19:59,000 --> 01:20:02,479
Speaker 1: I will tell you this. The other one was, you know,

1448
01:20:02,680 --> 01:20:06,680
Speaker 1: the Seattle game. The Seattle game was was huge. I mean,

1449
01:20:06,680 --> 01:20:11,679
Speaker 1: we had everybody was talking Seahawks, and the Seahawks are good.

1450
01:20:11,760 --> 01:20:14,760
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson's great, no doubt about it. But they went

1451
01:20:14,800 --> 01:20:18,120
Speaker 1: to Buffalo and we're like, whoa, Okay, we got a

1452
01:20:18,120 --> 01:20:21,840
Speaker 1: team we gotta deal with after that game. You know,

1453
01:20:22,320 --> 01:20:24,760
Speaker 1: as far as the Cardinals game, go listen, there's one

1454
01:20:25,120 --> 01:20:28,880
Speaker 1: great fluke play. Not that Hopkins wasn't great and taller

1455
01:20:28,920 --> 01:20:31,599
Speaker 1: than everybody else and to grab that ball, but come on,

1456
01:20:31,840 --> 01:20:33,680
Speaker 1: it's it's a little bit of a fluke play. You

1457
01:20:33,800 --> 01:20:37,000
Speaker 1: got it. Congratulations to you. Otherwise we're out of what

1458
01:20:37,120 --> 01:20:42,040
Speaker 1: seven eight in a row, you know. So after that

1459
01:20:42,120 --> 01:20:44,160
Speaker 1: and then coming up with these games, it's just a

1460
01:20:44,479 --> 01:20:48,160
Speaker 1: it's a building thing throughout the season, but those were

1461
01:20:48,280 --> 01:20:50,840
Speaker 1: real clear moments. The one thing I also want to

1462
01:20:50,840 --> 01:20:54,240
Speaker 1: say about the scar tissue of a Buffalo Bills fan.

1463
01:20:55,320 --> 01:20:57,080
Speaker 1: Let me tell you this, and I've said this one

1464
01:20:57,160 --> 01:20:59,880
Speaker 1: hundred times in my life. You know, people go, oh, yeah,

1465
01:21:00,120 --> 01:21:02,479
Speaker 1: lost those four super Bowls? Man, are you still a fan?

1466
01:21:02,640 --> 01:21:04,479
Speaker 1: I'm like, what's wrong with you? What do you mean?

1467
01:21:04,479 --> 01:21:06,400
Speaker 1: Am I a fan? Who do you think that goes

1468
01:21:06,439 --> 01:21:09,240
Speaker 1: away because we don't win one game? If you were

1469
01:21:09,280 --> 01:21:12,240
Speaker 1: a Bills fan back in the nineties, yeah, you didn't

1470
01:21:12,280 --> 01:21:14,720
Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl. But guess what you want your

1471
01:21:14,720 --> 01:21:16,840
Speaker 1: team to go to the playoffs? Oh, we did that

1472
01:21:16,920 --> 01:21:19,439
Speaker 1: a lot. You want them to win playoff games? We

1473
01:21:19,560 --> 01:21:22,439
Speaker 1: did that too. We did it so many things did

1474
01:21:22,520 --> 01:21:25,360
Speaker 1: we did? We lose four games, sure, but I look

1475
01:21:25,400 --> 01:21:27,640
Speaker 1: back on those times and I think I got more

1476
01:21:27,640 --> 01:21:30,120
Speaker 1: of a smile than than it depressed looked on my face.

1477
01:21:30,439 --> 01:21:32,439
Speaker 1: I got a lot of joy out of those years.

1478
01:21:32,640 --> 01:21:34,920
Speaker 1: We had a great team yet win the final one.

1479
01:21:35,120 --> 01:21:38,080
Speaker 1: But we're gonna win it soon, so I'm okay. Yeah.

1480
01:21:37,720 --> 01:21:40,600
Speaker 1: I did an interview last night for NFL Films, and

1481
01:21:40,600 --> 01:21:42,960
Speaker 1: they asked the question that a lot of guys on

1482
01:21:43,000 --> 01:21:45,360
Speaker 1: my team, on that team that you're talking about, get asked,

1483
01:21:45,720 --> 01:21:48,679
Speaker 1: would you have traded those four losses for one win?

1484
01:21:48,920 --> 01:21:50,559
Speaker 1: That meaning if you'd have gone to the super Bowl

1485
01:21:50,600 --> 01:21:52,960
Speaker 1: once won it and then not gone back. And I

1486
01:21:53,960 --> 01:21:59,240
Speaker 1: gotta say no, that it's too much about the relationships

1487
01:21:59,280 --> 01:22:01,240
Speaker 1: for me. It could because the other three teams that

1488
01:22:01,280 --> 01:22:04,599
Speaker 1: went to the super Bowl, whichever one you pick, the teams,

1489
01:22:04,680 --> 01:22:06,639
Speaker 1: the guys that went to those other three super Bowls

1490
01:22:06,640 --> 01:22:08,519
Speaker 1: not getting to go and getting to experience that with

1491
01:22:08,600 --> 01:22:13,519
Speaker 1: them is a loss for me, and it's worth it

1492
01:22:13,600 --> 01:22:17,320
Speaker 1: was worth the ride even if we didn't win one

1493
01:22:17,360 --> 01:22:19,400
Speaker 1: of those four going to the four of them were

1494
01:22:19,560 --> 01:22:22,439
Speaker 1: it was four different rides with four different teams that

1495
01:22:22,520 --> 01:22:24,400
Speaker 1: were You know, there's a core guys that were the same,

1496
01:22:24,760 --> 01:22:26,840
Speaker 1: but as man, it was it's about the relationships and

1497
01:22:26,880 --> 01:22:28,559
Speaker 1: the fun and then in the city and the whole

1498
01:22:28,960 --> 01:22:31,400
Speaker 1: era insteady, it wasn't just And I've said that to

1499
01:22:31,439 --> 01:22:33,360
Speaker 1: these people, and I'll ask you about that now. I've said,

1500
01:22:33,400 --> 01:22:36,400
Speaker 1: this is feels. Yeah, certainly, it's a great season. It's

1501
01:22:36,400 --> 01:22:39,439
Speaker 1: a fun, magical season that we're experiencing right now. But

1502
01:22:39,520 --> 01:22:41,800
Speaker 1: it has the real feel of a beginning of an era,

1503
01:22:41,960 --> 01:22:44,640
Speaker 1: not just a magical season. Do you agree with that?

1504
01:22:46,560 --> 01:22:49,160
Speaker 1: You know, I said this the other night. I my

1505
01:22:49,280 --> 01:22:52,719
Speaker 1: nephews and uh and and my son's after the game

1506
01:22:53,600 --> 01:22:55,479
Speaker 1: just a couple of days ago, they were like, called

1507
01:22:55,560 --> 01:22:59,560
Speaker 1: w g R right now. So so I called in

1508
01:23:00,240 --> 01:23:02,920
Speaker 1: and I was on the air talking to the guys

1509
01:23:03,080 --> 01:23:08,160
Speaker 1: and I said, that's uh, you know, we're we're we're

01:23:08,200 --> 01:23:12,120
Speaker 1: so excited right now. And and you know, let me

1511
01:23:12,160 --> 01:23:14,559
Speaker 1: say this also too. You know, you know, my wife

1512
01:23:14,600 --> 01:23:16,719
Speaker 1: said to me after the game the other day, she's

1513
01:23:16,720 --> 01:23:20,120
Speaker 1: from Massachusetts Patriots fan. It's okay, it's all right, she

1514
01:23:20,200 --> 01:23:23,200
Speaker 1: has to watch it in a smaller TV. But let

1515
01:23:23,200 --> 01:23:25,800
Speaker 1: me say this much that she looked at all of

1516
01:23:25,880 --> 01:23:28,240
Speaker 1: us the other day and she said I just can't

1517
01:23:28,240 --> 01:23:33,280
Speaker 1: imagine another quarterback that's more built for Buffalo than Josh Allen.

1518
01:23:34,000 --> 01:23:38,280
Speaker 1: He just feels like he's that guy at this time,

1519
01:23:38,360 --> 01:23:40,680
Speaker 1: right now. And I do agree with that, and I

1520
01:23:40,720 --> 01:23:43,120
Speaker 1: really believe in that. But what I said on the

1521
01:23:43,160 --> 01:23:45,920
Speaker 1: air the other day was, you know, the one thing

1522
01:23:45,960 --> 01:23:48,679
Speaker 1: that I thought was most inspiring of just about anything

1523
01:23:48,720 --> 01:23:50,920
Speaker 1: I've seen this year, and I really mean this, it

1524
01:23:51,000 --> 01:23:53,439
Speaker 1: was that clip that that thirty second clip of the

1525
01:23:53,520 --> 01:23:57,000
Speaker 1: snowball fight out in front of the training facility, because

1526
01:23:57,040 --> 01:23:59,360
Speaker 1: I thought, look at these guys right here, they're having

1527
01:23:59,400 --> 01:24:02,040
Speaker 1: fun with each each other. Most of these guys are

1528
01:24:02,080 --> 01:24:05,400
Speaker 1: not from this area. They probably don't know snow but

1529
01:24:05,479 --> 01:24:08,880
Speaker 1: they're loving it and it's because of what's happening to

1530
01:24:09,000 --> 01:24:12,040
Speaker 1: a team right now, and that's how you win games.

1531
01:24:12,320 --> 01:24:15,479
Speaker 1: And they're they're believing. You know, you don't see these

1532
01:24:15,520 --> 01:24:18,880
Speaker 1: guys walking on the sideline an interception happens, or a

1533
01:24:18,880 --> 01:24:21,920
Speaker 1: fumble or a plate it didn't go their way, going

1534
01:24:22,000 --> 01:24:24,360
Speaker 1: on the sidelines and shaking their heads. No, no no, no, no.

1535
01:24:24,680 --> 01:24:26,840
Speaker 1: You see guys walk up to each other and go

1536
01:24:27,439 --> 01:24:30,519
Speaker 1: my bad whatever, But you know it ends with a

1537
01:24:30,560 --> 01:24:32,240
Speaker 1: smile and it's like we're going back out there in

1538
01:24:32,280 --> 01:24:35,120
Speaker 1: a few minutes, so we'll get it. Yeah, you'll probably

1539
01:24:35,120 --> 01:24:36,960
Speaker 1: even like like it even more to know that it

1540
01:24:37,000 --> 01:24:39,240
Speaker 1: was Terry Pagoula that was shooting the video of that

1541
01:24:39,560 --> 01:24:42,439
Speaker 1: snowball fight. He had his phone out, didn't was that

1542
01:24:42,560 --> 01:24:45,400
Speaker 1: practice and he was Jill, I know, I know it's

1543
01:24:45,439 --> 01:24:48,519
Speaker 1: probably amateur cinematography from where you're from where you sit,

1544
01:24:48,680 --> 01:24:51,400
Speaker 1: but yes, it was the owner actually filming the snow

1545
01:24:51,520 --> 01:24:53,120
Speaker 1: You can tell those guys were all from the side.

1546
01:24:53,120 --> 01:24:54,880
Speaker 1: None of them knew how to pack a snowball. They

1547
01:24:54,880 --> 01:24:57,280
Speaker 1: were just ring. They were scooping. Ter I was like,

1548
01:24:57,320 --> 01:25:01,200
Speaker 1: come on, guys, clearly not from chick to walk. Yeah, exactly,

1549
01:25:01,840 --> 01:25:04,200
Speaker 1: no malicious intent with any of those throws. They're not

1550
01:25:04,280 --> 01:25:06,680
Speaker 1: clearly not from the neighborhood. The burning question I have

1551
01:25:06,800 --> 01:25:10,360
Speaker 1: for you, Bill is you know, now you and Nick

1552
01:25:10,760 --> 01:25:12,960
Speaker 1: have the opportunity to kind of puff your chest out

1553
01:25:12,960 --> 01:25:14,600
Speaker 1: a little bit when you're on set. I mean, I

1554
01:25:14,600 --> 01:25:17,200
Speaker 1: don't know how much water cooler talk about sports goes

1555
01:25:17,240 --> 01:25:20,160
Speaker 1: on on the set, but if it comes up, I

1556
01:25:20,320 --> 01:25:23,920
Speaker 1: have to believe that you're walking about a few inches taller,

1557
01:25:24,360 --> 01:25:28,600
Speaker 1: uh these days on set? Are you not? Well? Absolutely?

1558
01:25:28,840 --> 01:25:31,719
Speaker 1: The director his name is Jamie Widows. He actually plays

1559
01:25:31,800 --> 01:25:34,719
Speaker 1: that the head of the fraternity and animal House. Okay.

1560
01:25:35,080 --> 01:25:37,840
Speaker 1: He was an actor and is a director now. He

1561
01:25:37,880 --> 01:25:41,920
Speaker 1: directs all of our episodes. And he's a Pittsburgh guy.

1562
01:25:42,080 --> 01:25:45,519
Speaker 1: So he had the game the other night, and I

1563
01:25:45,600 --> 01:25:47,880
Speaker 1: haven't texted him yet because I just figured i'd I'd

1564
01:25:47,920 --> 01:25:52,080
Speaker 1: let him live off his Monday night loss. But I

1565
01:25:52,200 --> 01:25:56,080
Speaker 1: went into work on Monday after that Pittsburgh game and

1566
01:25:56,479 --> 01:25:59,320
Speaker 1: I wore Pittsburgh jersey. I wore it for him, just

1567
01:25:59,360 --> 01:26:02,320
Speaker 1: to them calm and everything. And then he was like,

1568
01:26:02,400 --> 01:26:04,479
Speaker 1: you know, boy, that's really sweet of you, Bill. And

1569
01:26:04,520 --> 01:26:06,320
Speaker 1: then I took it off and had a Bill's shirt

1570
01:26:06,360 --> 01:26:10,200
Speaker 1: under there. So I'm doing it subtly, but I'm letting

1571
01:26:10,240 --> 01:26:14,200
Speaker 1: everybody know, you know, listen. Yeah, it's also too you know.

1572
01:26:14,200 --> 01:26:17,559
Speaker 1: It's a bit of a Buffalo thing, you know. I

1573
01:26:17,600 --> 01:26:21,000
Speaker 1: gotta say this. I like Rex Ryan, and when Rex

1574
01:26:21,120 --> 01:26:24,400
Speaker 1: was in Buffalo. The only thing that really kind of

1575
01:26:24,439 --> 01:26:26,840
Speaker 1: bothered me a little bit. Rex is a big guy.

1576
01:26:27,000 --> 01:26:29,840
Speaker 1: He likes to you know, he's he likes to brag

1577
01:26:29,880 --> 01:26:31,880
Speaker 1: a little bit. I gotta tell you, it's not really

1578
01:26:32,439 --> 01:26:35,360
Speaker 1: it's not really a Buffalo thing, you know, we don't

1579
01:26:35,360 --> 01:26:37,400
Speaker 1: really put the cart before the horse, you know. We

1580
01:26:37,520 --> 01:26:41,400
Speaker 1: like to earn our stuff. And so you know, I'm

1581
01:26:41,439 --> 01:26:43,760
Speaker 1: not really like running around. I'm like, work great, and

1582
01:26:43,800 --> 01:26:47,160
Speaker 1: you are not. I'm just I'm just sitting low, enjoying

1583
01:26:47,200 --> 01:26:51,479
Speaker 1: the moment, watching it happen. And you know, they'll come

1584
01:26:51,520 --> 01:26:53,840
Speaker 1: a time when I'm gonna when I'm gonna jump up

1585
01:26:53,880 --> 01:26:55,960
Speaker 1: and I jump up and down every Sunday or set

1586
01:26:56,120 --> 01:26:59,040
Speaker 1: or whenever they're playing. But uh, I just like to

1587
01:26:59,080 --> 01:27:02,799
Speaker 1: sit back and just feel more confident every day about

1588
01:27:02,840 --> 01:27:06,960
Speaker 1: what's happening. All right. So Nick and I see each

1589
01:27:06,960 --> 01:27:11,519
Speaker 1: other at work and we're like, okay, let's go to

1590
01:27:11,560 --> 01:27:14,200
Speaker 1: the next week. Yeah, it's it's a good feeling. So

1591
01:27:14,240 --> 01:27:16,760
Speaker 1: what are your thoughts on the last two games of

1592
01:27:16,800 --> 01:27:20,559
Speaker 1: the regular season. If they need this game to clinch

1593
01:27:20,680 --> 01:27:23,960
Speaker 1: the number two seed for good, obviously they're gonna play

1594
01:27:23,960 --> 01:27:26,599
Speaker 1: guys and go hard. But even if they don't, even

1595
01:27:26,640 --> 01:27:29,040
Speaker 1: if everything falls their way and they clinch the two

1596
01:27:29,080 --> 01:27:32,360
Speaker 1: seeds somehow some way this weekend without playing before they

1597
01:27:32,360 --> 01:27:34,439
Speaker 1: play or whatever, what are your thoughts on resting players

1598
01:27:34,520 --> 01:27:36,800
Speaker 1: or keeping your foot on the gas or you know,

1599
01:27:36,960 --> 01:27:38,960
Speaker 1: taking a chance on getting somebody that's near and dear

1600
01:27:39,040 --> 01:27:43,760
Speaker 1: to us hurt. Well, you know, there's always there's always that,

1601
01:27:43,840 --> 01:27:45,240
Speaker 1: and we have to be careful of that. I mean,

1602
01:27:45,240 --> 01:27:47,599
Speaker 1: even at the end of the Denver game the other day,

1603
01:27:47,680 --> 01:27:49,439
Speaker 1: you know, a couple of our defensive guys who went

1604
01:27:49,439 --> 01:27:52,440
Speaker 1: down like one play after another, and I'm like, eh,

1605
01:27:52,479 --> 01:27:54,400
Speaker 1: you know, White was on the ground. I'm like, and

1606
01:27:54,439 --> 01:27:59,120
Speaker 1: then he walked off, Thank God. And but you know,

1607
01:27:59,600 --> 01:28:03,400
Speaker 1: Sean Gonna, I have all faith in Sean McDermott to know,

1608
01:28:04,000 --> 01:28:05,640
Speaker 1: you know where to go with this. But but I

1609
01:28:05,680 --> 01:28:07,640
Speaker 1: will say this, if we need the game, that we

1610
01:28:07,640 --> 01:28:10,719
Speaker 1: should go and get the game. Is there something special

1611
01:28:10,760 --> 01:28:13,879
Speaker 1: about beating New England on a Monday night in New England?

1612
01:28:14,000 --> 01:28:17,120
Speaker 1: You bet there is, especially for a Bills fan. I

1613
01:28:17,600 --> 01:28:20,599
Speaker 1: think the journey is beyond this regular season right now.

1614
01:28:20,960 --> 01:28:23,240
Speaker 1: That's what the focus is. That we gotta do whatever

1615
01:28:23,280 --> 01:28:27,160
Speaker 1: it is that helps support that. I will tell you

1616
01:28:27,240 --> 01:28:30,600
Speaker 1: this much. You know, I've been saying a lot of

1617
01:28:30,640 --> 01:28:33,519
Speaker 1: people and I'm not talking smack here. I'm just talking truth,

1618
01:28:34,000 --> 01:28:37,759
Speaker 1: my own truth. I have looked forward to that final

1619
01:28:37,840 --> 01:28:41,720
Speaker 1: game of the season on January third, because two is

1620
01:28:41,760 --> 01:28:44,600
Speaker 1: potentially a really great quarterback in this league. And he

1621
01:28:44,680 --> 01:28:47,120
Speaker 1: played at Alabama, and he plays in Miami, but he

1622
01:28:47,160 --> 01:28:51,519
Speaker 1: hasn't played in Orchard Park on January third point, it's

1623
01:28:51,560 --> 01:28:54,880
Speaker 1: a bit of a different ball game. And if it's if,

1624
01:28:55,120 --> 01:28:58,880
Speaker 1: if there's meaning in that game, you know, listen, if

1625
01:28:58,880 --> 01:29:01,599
Speaker 1: there's meaning for both of those games, and the Bills

1626
01:29:01,680 --> 01:29:04,040
Speaker 1: need to go out and the coaching staff decide, Seawan

1627
01:29:04,080 --> 01:29:06,160
Speaker 1: de secs, we need to win these two games. I

1628
01:29:06,200 --> 01:29:08,080
Speaker 1: have no doubt we're gonna win those two games. I

1629
01:29:08,120 --> 01:29:10,439
Speaker 1: really feel that way, Bill. Last one I have for you,

1630
01:29:10,600 --> 01:29:12,559
Speaker 1: and we're short on time, so I'll make it quick.

1631
01:29:13,320 --> 01:29:16,120
Speaker 1: Knowing your acting, Chops, I was curious to get your

1632
01:29:16,160 --> 01:29:20,160
Speaker 1: best Cisco and Ebert review on Steve Tasker's performance in

1633
01:29:20,240 --> 01:29:23,120
Speaker 1: the hype video after the victory. Have you seen it

1634
01:29:23,160 --> 01:29:26,679
Speaker 1: where he said it might be chilly in Buffalo in January?

1635
01:29:26,760 --> 01:29:29,519
Speaker 1: Did you see the hype video or no? No, oh

1636
01:29:29,560 --> 01:29:32,600
Speaker 1: my god, guys, Can we play this for Bill? Somebody's

1637
01:29:32,600 --> 01:29:34,320
Speaker 1: got to say that. Send it to me or play it.

1638
01:29:34,400 --> 01:29:35,880
Speaker 1: Hold on, we're gonna play it for you right now.

1639
01:29:36,320 --> 01:29:38,240
Speaker 1: That's a two minute video. We don't have time for this,

1640
01:29:38,840 --> 01:29:40,760
Speaker 1: Yes we do. We got time for this. I need

1641
01:29:40,800 --> 01:29:43,720
Speaker 1: the actor's opinion, on this all right, here we go,

1642
01:29:43,840 --> 01:29:48,719
Speaker 1: ring it up, Steve, we gotta see it. Amy Fairburn

1643
01:29:48,800 --> 01:29:51,040
Speaker 1: ready to go. After the timeout. It is a twenty

1644
01:29:51,080 --> 01:29:53,240
Speaker 1: eight yarder for the win. The kick is on the way,

1645
01:29:53,360 --> 01:29:55,880
Speaker 1: it is up. It is good. And the Houston Texans

1646
01:29:56,040 --> 01:29:59,000
Speaker 1: knocked the Bills out of the playoffs and the Bill season.

1647
01:30:00,080 --> 01:30:02,719
Speaker 1: Trust me, I get it. There's a lot of pain

1648
01:30:02,840 --> 01:30:05,559
Speaker 1: and going home and be handed all. I won't be

1649
01:30:05,600 --> 01:30:09,320
Speaker 1: over this until we start playing again. But the kind

1650
01:30:09,360 --> 01:30:12,479
Speaker 1: of pain that eats at you just makes us hungrier.

1651
01:30:12,560 --> 01:30:14,599
Speaker 1: But I promise you, our guys are hungry and we'll

1652
01:30:14,640 --> 01:30:19,720
Speaker 1: be back and we'll never stop fighting. Winners know how

1653
01:30:19,760 --> 01:30:22,160
Speaker 1: to turn that pain into growth. And late last night

1654
01:30:22,240 --> 01:30:25,719
Speaker 1: things heated up between the Minnesota Vikings and the Buffalo Bills,

1655
01:30:25,840 --> 01:30:29,760
Speaker 1: ending with Stefan Diggs being traded to Buffalo putting on

1656
01:30:29,880 --> 01:30:34,040
Speaker 1: a clinic. Now, can't beat stopped. He's in the same

1657
01:30:34,040 --> 01:30:36,519
Speaker 1: old Bills. Man. We're not gonna let anybody on the

1658
01:30:36,560 --> 01:30:38,960

01:35:14,120 --> 01:35:16,799
Speaker 1: it yet. He hadn't seen it his honest acting chops

1741
01:35:16,840 --> 01:35:21,320
Speaker 1: review on it. We were rolling on his reaction back

1742
01:35:21,360 --> 01:35:24,120
Speaker 1: in the control room, and we have his reaction to

1743
01:35:24,200 --> 01:35:27,080
Speaker 1: the very end where Steve's on camera and he goes,

1744
01:35:27,640 --> 01:35:31,080
Speaker 1: be ready, might be chilly. So here is Bill Kickner's

1745
01:35:31,120 --> 01:35:36,080
Speaker 1: reaction as he's watching it for the first time. He's

1746
01:35:36,320 --> 01:35:40,880
Speaker 1: rocking back in his chair. He's losing it, losing it. Yeah,

1747
01:35:40,920 --> 01:35:43,280
Speaker 1: he liked it. That's that's the best part about the

1748
01:35:43,360 --> 01:35:45,519
Speaker 1: video's not and even it's not just about me, it's

1749

1751
01:35:49,680 --> 01:35:52,000
Speaker 1: to my family. But Steve that is like a bonafide

1752
01:35:52,120 --> 01:35:54,559
Speaker 1: Hollywood actor. I mean, the guy's been in movies. He's

1753
01:35:54,600 --> 01:35:57,120
Speaker 1: been in you know, big screen, small screen. I mean,

1754
01:35:57,120 --> 01:35:59,840
Speaker 1: he knows what good acting is. And he gave I mean,

1755
01:35:59,880 --> 01:36:02,719
Speaker 1: he wasn't acting, it was just being me. He's writing

1756
01:36:02,800 --> 01:36:05,920
Speaker 1: off the Oscar nomination. There. It's the fun. That's the

1757
01:36:05,960 --> 01:36:07,840
Speaker 1: fun part about it's even for Bill's face. You show

1766
01:36:30,439 --> 01:36:35,040

1767
01:36:35,080 --> 01:36:37,200
Speaker 1: here on One Bill's Live presented by Kalid to Health,

1768
01:36:37,240 --> 01:36:56,400
Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bill's Radio at a Steve Tasker who has

1769
01:36:56,439 --> 01:36:58,760
Speaker 1: been all over the fields, kind of unique. He was

1770
01:36:58,800 --> 01:37:05,639
Speaker 1: kind of a dual role play Steve a blimp. We're

1771
01:37:05,680 --> 01:37:11,400
Speaker 1: not even in the strategyre of normalcy. Here our number

1772
01:37:11,439 --> 01:37:16,000
Speaker 1: three of the program, and without further ado, we go

1773
01:37:16,040 --> 01:37:18,760
Speaker 1: to the senior producer of NFL Films, also one of

1774
01:37:18,800 --> 01:37:22,519
Speaker 1: the co hosts on the ESPN NFL Matchup Show. It

1775
01:37:22,760 --> 01:37:27,280
Speaker 1: is one Greg Cosell joining us to talk Monday Night

1776
01:37:27,360 --> 01:37:32,040
Speaker 1: Football between the Bills and the Patriots. Part Do and Greg,

1777
01:37:32,080 --> 01:37:37,120
Speaker 1: this one again is going to happen without Stefan Gilmour.

1778
01:37:37,280 --> 01:37:39,760
Speaker 1: He missed the first matchup between these two teams with

1779
01:37:39,840 --> 01:37:41,840
Speaker 1: an injury in week eight and he is not going

1780
01:37:41,880 --> 01:37:44,760
Speaker 1: to be a part of it again here in week sixteen,

1781
01:37:44,920 --> 01:37:47,800
Speaker 1: which is probably something that the Patriots are not looking

1782
01:37:47,840 --> 01:37:50,040
Speaker 1: forward to knowing how much the Bills spread him out

1783
01:37:50,040 --> 01:37:54,120
Speaker 1: and throw the football. Yeah. I just have to comment though,

1784
01:37:54,160 --> 01:37:56,479
Speaker 1: you know, seeing that open, I think Tasco looks exactly

1785
01:37:56,479 --> 01:37:58,760
Speaker 1: the same now as he did as a player. I

1786
01:37:58,800 --> 01:38:01,519
Speaker 1: don't Yeah, without my help, you are not the first

1787
01:38:01,520 --> 01:38:04,080
Speaker 1: person to say that. This week, Greg, we had Ruben Brown,

1788
01:38:04,160 --> 01:38:06,640
Speaker 1: one of his former teammates, on the show, and he

1789
01:38:06,760 --> 01:38:09,360
Speaker 1: said the same thing. Ruben has to say that, though,

1790
01:38:09,400 --> 01:38:14,479
Speaker 1: I've got pictures of him. So so what about Greg,

1791
01:38:14,560 --> 01:38:17,479
Speaker 1: So you go ahead. What's gonna be interesting, Chris about

1792
01:38:17,520 --> 01:38:20,800
Speaker 1: I guess this game is I believe that Belichick has

1793
01:38:20,840 --> 01:38:24,840
Speaker 1: not committed to who will be the starting quarterback. No, right, right,

1794
01:38:24,920 --> 01:38:28,519
Speaker 1: that's kind of interesting. Well, you're right, and that that

1795
01:38:28,560 --> 01:38:30,479
Speaker 1: remains to be seen. But we do know who the

1796
01:38:30,800 --> 01:38:35,439
Speaker 1: quarterback of the Bills is. And he's AFC Offensive Player

1797
01:38:35,439 --> 01:38:39,400
Speaker 1: of the Week for the fourth time, which is far

1798
01:38:39,439 --> 01:38:43,759
Speaker 1: and away beyond expectation. So he's kept it going all season. Greg, Well,

1799
01:38:44,200 --> 01:38:47,400
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's been Yeah, even from where he

1800
01:38:47,479 --> 01:38:50,360
Speaker 1: was last year, it's almost transformational. Forget where he was

1801
01:38:50,439 --> 01:38:54,559
Speaker 1: two years ago. No, it's it's remarkable and it's funny.

1802
01:38:56,200 --> 01:38:59,479
Speaker 1: He's a guy I love talking about because watching him,

1803
01:38:59,560 --> 01:39:03,800
Speaker 1: there's own much improvement besides the obvious improvement in his game.

1804
01:39:03,840 --> 01:39:05,840
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, we can obviously see that the

1805
01:39:05,880 --> 01:39:09,120
Speaker 1: ball is being thrown with much better ball location. He's

1806
01:39:09,200 --> 01:39:11,920
Speaker 1: more consistent with that. But to me, a lot of

1807
01:39:11,920 --> 01:39:14,519
Speaker 1: it is the little things, you know, I think he's

1808
01:39:14,560 --> 01:39:17,760
Speaker 1: so much better before the snap of the ball. I mean,

1809
01:39:17,760 --> 01:39:19,840
Speaker 1: there was a play this week to me that that

1810
01:39:19,960 --> 01:39:22,080
Speaker 1: kind of spoke to that, and it's just an example.

1811
01:39:22,120 --> 01:39:24,519
Speaker 1: Obviously it's the most recent one, and I just watched

1812
01:39:24,520 --> 01:39:27,519
Speaker 1: that tape, you know, I think yesterday, you know, when

1813
01:39:27,560 --> 01:39:29,680
Speaker 1: he hit Beasley for twenty seven yards on third and

1814
01:39:29,720 --> 01:39:31,920
Speaker 1: three in the fourth quarter, the way he read the

1815
01:39:31,960 --> 01:39:34,599
Speaker 1: slot blitz pre snap, And the thing that I loved

1816
01:39:34,680 --> 01:39:37,519
Speaker 1: is not only did he read the slot blitz pre snap,

1817
01:39:37,760 --> 01:39:40,799
Speaker 1: but then the post snap execution because he hit Beasley

1818
01:39:40,800 --> 01:39:44,240
Speaker 1: in the second window because Jewell expanded and took away

1819
01:39:44,240 --> 01:39:48,599
Speaker 1: the slant. So examples like that of just pre snap

1820
01:39:48,640 --> 01:39:52,360
Speaker 1: recognition post snap execution. I'll tell you the other play

1821
01:39:52,439 --> 01:39:56,760
Speaker 1: that really stood out to me and was the throw

1822
01:39:56,880 --> 01:40:00,439
Speaker 1: to Knox for twenty seven yards. I think it was

1823
01:40:00,439 --> 01:40:02,400
Speaker 1: twenty seven yards but it was the throw to Knox,

1824
01:40:03,880 --> 01:40:06,280
Speaker 1: and what I really really loved about that that was

1825
01:40:06,320 --> 01:40:09,360
Speaker 1: a basic concept that the Bills run. It's their double

1826
01:40:09,439 --> 01:40:13,360
Speaker 1: post crosser concept that they run with different players. But

1827
01:40:13,400 --> 01:40:15,880
Speaker 1: he had pressure on that, So that means he had

1828
01:40:15,920 --> 01:40:18,840
Speaker 1: to throw the ball early. So you can't throw it

1829
01:40:18,960 --> 01:40:21,160
Speaker 1: the same way that you would throw it if the

1830
01:40:21,200 --> 01:40:23,640
Speaker 1: play just played out normally, where you drop back hit

1831
01:40:23,680 --> 01:40:26,320
Speaker 1: your back foot. So we had to throw the ball

1832
01:40:26,479 --> 01:40:30,320
Speaker 1: almost when Knox was on the far hatch and he's

1833
01:40:30,400 --> 01:40:33,760
Speaker 1: running the crosser. So what did he do. He knew

1834
01:40:33,800 --> 01:40:35,720
Speaker 1: he had to take something off the throw because you

1835
01:40:35,720 --> 01:40:38,920
Speaker 1: couldn't throw it with the same speed and pace that

1836
01:40:38,960 --> 01:40:41,320
Speaker 1: you would throw it if it was a normal situation.

1837
01:40:41,400 --> 01:40:44,120
Speaker 1: So to me, just the details and the nuances of

1838
01:40:44,160 --> 01:40:47,479
Speaker 1: the position as I watched Josh Allen a week to week,

1839
01:40:47,800 --> 01:40:50,160
Speaker 1: those are the areas in which I think he's improved

1840
01:40:50,400 --> 01:40:53,400
Speaker 1: so dramatically. You know, we can the obvious is the obvious,

1841
01:40:53,400 --> 01:40:56,320
Speaker 1: everybody can see that. But he's just gotten so much

1842
01:40:56,360 --> 01:40:59,519
Speaker 1: better in the details and nuances of the position. Yeah,

1843
01:40:59,560 --> 01:41:02,160
Speaker 1: I would say, Greg, if there is still one part

1844
01:41:02,200 --> 01:41:05,040
Speaker 1: of Josh Allen's game that I believe is still underrated,

1845
01:41:05,560 --> 01:41:08,439
Speaker 1: I think it's his football smarts. I know the Wonderlick

1846
01:41:08,520 --> 01:41:10,880
Speaker 1: test isn't the end all be all, but in that

1847
01:41:10,960 --> 01:41:14,519
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen draft class, his Wonderlick score was the highest

1848
01:41:14,560 --> 01:41:17,720
Speaker 1: of the bunch, and from what I've been told, it

1849
01:41:17,800 --> 01:41:20,760
Speaker 1: wasn't close. And I think that kind of goes by

1850
01:41:20,800 --> 01:41:23,960
Speaker 1: the board sometimes. Not only is this a guy who

1851
01:41:24,000 --> 01:41:26,000
Speaker 1: wants to be great and has a work ethic to

1852
01:41:26,040 --> 01:41:29,880
Speaker 1: accomplish that, but he's also got the brain to dissect

1853
01:41:30,000 --> 01:41:33,960
Speaker 1: and you cut up all these defenses and make those

1854
01:41:34,000 --> 01:41:36,400
Speaker 1: on the fly adjustments that you were just speaking about

1855
01:41:36,439 --> 01:41:39,040
Speaker 1: post snap. I mean, we had one of his other

1856
01:41:39,280 --> 01:41:42,080
Speaker 1: teammates miked up for the game last week against Denver

1857
01:41:42,400 --> 01:41:44,479
Speaker 1: and he's on the bench and you hear him talking

1858
01:41:44,520 --> 01:41:47,000
Speaker 1: to the receiver and the receiver says, well, why didn't

1859
01:41:47,040 --> 01:41:50,040
Speaker 1: you throw that to me? And he said, because I

1860
01:41:50,040 --> 01:41:53,160
Speaker 1: saw the safety creeping backside. He was trying to bait

1861
01:41:53,240 --> 01:41:54,920
Speaker 1: me into throwing it to you, so I had to

1862
01:41:54,920 --> 01:41:57,840
Speaker 1: go to Dawson Knox instead. And I mean that's just

1863
01:41:57,880 --> 01:42:01,880
Speaker 1: some of that post snap acumen that you're talking about. Yeah,

1864
01:42:01,880 --> 01:42:05,200
Speaker 1: And the other thing too, is I think he's getting

1865
01:42:05,280 --> 01:42:07,720
Speaker 1: much much smarter when he does run. I think he's

1866
01:42:07,760 --> 01:42:11,000
Speaker 1: getting much much smarter in terms of certain throws just

1867
01:42:11,040 --> 01:42:13,439
Speaker 1: throwing it away, you know. I think he's just growing

1868
01:42:13,439 --> 01:42:16,479
Speaker 1: and understanding that in this league you don't have to

1869
01:42:16,520 --> 01:42:19,640
Speaker 1: make every single play, which for a quarterback with his

1870
01:42:19,760 --> 01:42:22,320
Speaker 1: kind of skill set where he does have at times

1871
01:42:22,320 --> 01:42:25,800
Speaker 1: that sort of superman ability, is you learn that, hey,

1872
01:42:25,920 --> 01:42:28,519
Speaker 1: you can't do that in this league on every single

1873
01:42:28,600 --> 01:42:31,920
Speaker 1: play and there's nothing wrong. You know, if you're forced

1874
01:42:31,920 --> 01:42:34,439
Speaker 1: out of the pocket and you're running to the sideline

1875
01:42:34,439 --> 01:42:37,000
Speaker 1: and there's nothing there and it's first or second down,

1876
01:42:37,080 --> 01:42:38,680
Speaker 1: you know what, throw it out of bounds. You have

1877
01:42:38,720 --> 01:42:41,920
Speaker 1: another play. And I think that speaks The other thing

1878
01:42:41,960 --> 01:42:45,360
Speaker 1: that speaks to is his red zone efficiency because he

1879
01:42:45,439 --> 01:42:48,760
Speaker 1: does not make bad decisions in the red zone. Yeah,

1880
01:42:48,800 --> 01:42:51,240
Speaker 1: I think that's one of the things that's really helped them. Yet,

1881
01:42:51,320 --> 01:42:53,160
Speaker 1: it seemed like when we were doing the game on radio,

1882
01:42:53,200 --> 01:42:55,280
Speaker 1: there are like five touchdowns he got called back in

1883
01:42:55,320 --> 01:42:57,840
Speaker 1: this game. There were two on one drive and then

1884
01:42:57,880 --> 01:42:59,960
Speaker 1: there it was the same drive. They had two touch

1885
01:43:00,080 --> 01:43:02,839
Speaker 1: downs callback one by Lee Smith, won by Isa McKenzie,

1886
01:43:03,120 --> 01:43:05,559
Speaker 1: and then they got what I thought, stabbed in the

1887
01:43:05,600 --> 01:43:10,519
Speaker 1: back on the spot with Zack Moss going in on

1888
01:43:10,560 --> 01:43:14,080
Speaker 1: the fourth down, they turned it over on down. I

1889
01:43:14,080 --> 01:43:16,120
Speaker 1: thought it was a first down, no question. But an

1890
01:43:16,439 --> 01:43:18,439
Speaker 1: all that stuff happens, it seemed like they were scoring

1891
01:43:18,439 --> 01:43:21,439
Speaker 1: at will and getting them all called back. But I

1892
01:43:21,479 --> 01:43:26,519
Speaker 1: thought that red zone efficiency was really on display at

1893
01:43:26,520 --> 01:43:28,639
Speaker 1: that even when they hitched the number one red zone

1894
01:43:28,680 --> 01:43:31,120
Speaker 1: defense in football, and even when they get first and

1895
01:43:31,280 --> 01:43:33,559
Speaker 1: goal on the thirty and it takes them two plays

1896
01:43:33,560 --> 01:43:35,560
Speaker 1: to score after going the wrong direction. I mean, I

1897
01:43:35,880 --> 01:43:38,280
Speaker 1: just thought it was a complete beatdown of the Broncos.

1898
01:43:38,680 --> 01:43:44,160
Speaker 1: And Josh really he carried I mean, he was the

1899
01:43:44,200 --> 01:43:45,920
Speaker 1: engine that drove that team. He said, which one of

1900
01:43:45,960 --> 01:43:48,280
Speaker 1: my steph Diggs the running game or whatever. But Josh

1901
01:43:48,320 --> 01:43:53,160
Speaker 1: Allen really elevated that entire team. No, And and like

1902
01:43:53,200 --> 01:43:55,719
Speaker 1: I said, even you know, the ball location is pretty

1903
01:43:55,760 --> 01:43:58,639
Speaker 1: remarkable because you just don't see guys improve like that.

1904
01:43:58,920 --> 01:44:01,320
Speaker 1: And obviously the long ball to Diggs, I think it

1905
01:44:01,360 --> 01:44:03,280
Speaker 1: was a fifty five yard or you couldn't have handed

1906
01:44:03,280 --> 01:44:05,640
Speaker 1: it to him any better. But I thought he had

1907
01:44:05,680 --> 01:44:09,360
Speaker 1: a fifteen yard sort of outrout comeback to Diggs in

1908
01:44:09,400 --> 01:44:12,120
Speaker 1: the second quarter. I'm sure you guys remember the play.

1909
01:44:12,160 --> 01:44:15,120
Speaker 1: And I thought that was very representative of his dramatic

1910
01:44:15,120 --> 01:44:18,080
Speaker 1: improvement in ball location because Diggs kind of ran, like

1911
01:44:18,080 --> 01:44:20,320
Speaker 1: I said, it was kind of an outrout comeback versus

1912
01:44:20,360 --> 01:44:23,840
Speaker 1: the inside leverage corner Bosby boy, and he placed it

1913
01:44:24,040 --> 01:44:27,519
Speaker 1: perfectly on the outside away from Bosby. And you know,

1914
01:44:27,760 --> 01:44:30,280
Speaker 1: that's not a throw that we would have expected him

1915
01:44:30,280 --> 01:44:33,600
Speaker 1: to make last year, certainly not as a rookie. And

1916
01:44:34,160 --> 01:44:37,400
Speaker 1: he's just to me the improvement in his game, both

1917
01:44:37,400 --> 01:44:40,800
Speaker 1: the obvious ones and this more subtle, nuanced ones, it's

1918
01:44:40,880 --> 01:44:44,400
Speaker 1: really high level. And you know, again, I know maybe

1919
01:44:44,400 --> 01:44:46,040
Speaker 1: there's some people who are waiting for him to have

1920
01:44:46,040 --> 01:44:48,439
Speaker 1: a bad game. Who knows. And then it doesn't mean

1921
01:44:48,479 --> 01:44:50,000
Speaker 1: he's never going to have a bad play. I mean,

1922
01:44:50,160 --> 01:44:52,120
Speaker 1: we get caught up in everything having to be one

1923
01:44:52,200 --> 01:44:55,400
Speaker 1: extreme or the other extreme, and Steve, you know from

1924
01:44:55,479 --> 01:44:57,600
Speaker 1: playing that's not the way it works. You know. The

1925
01:44:57,640 --> 01:44:59,639
Speaker 1: other players, you know, they get paid, the other coaches

1926
01:44:59,640 --> 01:45:02,720
Speaker 1: get two. This league's not so easy. There's gonna be

1927
01:45:02,760 --> 01:45:07,120
Speaker 1: some bad plays, but overall, I think the improvement has

1928
01:45:07,200 --> 01:45:10,320
Speaker 1: really been dramatic, and there's just I think even in

1929
01:45:10,439 --> 01:45:14,080
Speaker 1: his movement, I think you just see a better sense

1930
01:45:14,120 --> 01:45:17,800
Speaker 1: of poison composure. He doesn't seem as frenetic and chaotic

1931
01:45:17,840 --> 01:45:19,960
Speaker 1: as he did a year ago, and certainly as a rookie.

1932
01:45:20,120 --> 01:45:23,640
Speaker 1: And with that in mind, Greg, we know that Belichick

1933
01:45:23,760 --> 01:45:27,000
Speaker 1: basically dared the Bills to run in the last matchup,

1934
01:45:27,280 --> 01:45:29,680
Speaker 1: and they did to the tune of one hundred and

1935
01:45:29,760 --> 01:45:35,120
Speaker 1: ninety yards. Are what are you anticipating the second go round?

1936
01:45:35,160 --> 01:45:37,840
Speaker 1: Because as we know, coach Belichick never really gives you

1937
01:45:37,880 --> 01:45:41,400
Speaker 1: the same thing twice, especially division opponents. So what do

1938
01:45:41,439 --> 01:45:44,000
Speaker 1: you think he does going into this one to kind

1939
01:45:44,040 --> 01:45:49,200
Speaker 1: of keep the raps on Josh from taking over the game. Well,

1940
01:45:50,000 --> 01:45:53,040
Speaker 1: I think he'll do it differently, Chris, but I think

1941
01:45:53,040 --> 01:45:55,519
Speaker 1: the general approach will be the same because one thing

1942
01:45:55,520 --> 01:45:58,320
Speaker 1: we know about Belichick is he's not going to play

1943
01:45:58,400 --> 01:46:01,720
Speaker 1: defense to potentially give up big plays. That's the thing, right,

1944
01:46:01,800 --> 01:46:04,920
Speaker 1: So I think he's going to try to make Josh

1945
01:46:05,040 --> 01:46:09,759
Speaker 1: have to work through progressions. Look, last time they played,

1946
01:46:09,800 --> 01:46:11,840
Speaker 1: he played a ton of man coverage. I don't know

1947
01:46:11,880 --> 01:46:13,920
Speaker 1: if he'll do that might be what's different. Maybe he

1948
01:46:13,960 --> 01:46:16,479
Speaker 1: won't play as much man, but he's definitely going to

1949
01:46:16,600 --> 01:46:21,280
Speaker 1: make Josh work going through progressions. I still believe that

1950
01:46:21,479 --> 01:46:24,439
Speaker 1: he would prefer that Josh allenhand the ball off. Now,

1951
01:46:25,120 --> 01:46:27,200
Speaker 1: Stefane Diggs, is he dealing with an injury? Is he

1952
01:46:27,280 --> 01:46:30,600
Speaker 1: due to play? He's practicing today. He got stepped on

1953
01:46:30,760 --> 01:46:33,320
Speaker 1: with about You probably saw a review in the film.

1954
01:46:33,320 --> 01:46:34,880
Speaker 1: He got stepped on at the end of a play

1955
01:46:35,360 --> 01:46:37,640
Speaker 1: and that's what caused his foot injury. But he is

1956
01:46:37,680 --> 01:46:40,519
Speaker 1: practicing today in what capacity we do not yet know,

1957
01:46:40,600 --> 01:46:44,160
Speaker 1: but he is practicing. Yeah, I mean, obviously if he

1958
01:46:44,240 --> 01:46:47,320
Speaker 1: does not play, that might change the approach, but I

1959
01:46:47,400 --> 01:46:49,559
Speaker 1: still now, how about John Brown? Is he due to play?

1960
01:46:49,760 --> 01:46:52,519
Speaker 1: He's practicing, but he is still on IR at this point,

1961
01:46:52,680 --> 01:46:54,840
Speaker 1: I don't think they feel like there's any sense to

1962
01:46:54,920 --> 01:46:58,040
Speaker 1: rush him back right now, you know, with a division

1963
01:46:58,080 --> 01:47:01,720
Speaker 1: locked up and the offense hasn't suffered without him all

1964
01:47:01,720 --> 01:47:05,080
Speaker 1: that much. No. No, The only reason I'm asking is because,

1965
01:47:05,280 --> 01:47:06,840
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, one thing we know

1966
01:47:06,880 --> 01:47:10,719
Speaker 1: about Belichick is he's a big believer in not allowing

1967
01:47:10,760 --> 01:47:13,720
Speaker 1: big plays. And obviously every decoordinator will say that, but

1968
01:47:14,200 --> 01:47:17,920
Speaker 1: the Patriots normally do not do that. So I think

1969
01:47:17,960 --> 01:47:21,040
Speaker 1: when he looks at this Bills team, he knows that

1970
01:47:21,120 --> 01:47:23,800
Speaker 1: Josh Allen is the number one weapon here, and I

1971
01:47:23,840 --> 01:47:25,960
Speaker 1: think that he would say, hey, if they want to

1972
01:47:25,960 --> 01:47:30,080
Speaker 1: hand the ball off to Mowson singletary thirty times, that's okay.

1973
01:47:30,320 --> 01:47:33,320
Speaker 1: Obviously we want to stop them, but I think you'd

1974
01:47:33,400 --> 01:47:37,000
Speaker 1: rather have that happen than Josh pushed the ball down

1975
01:47:37,040 --> 01:47:40,320
Speaker 1: the field for twenty plus twenty five plus yard completions.

1976
01:47:40,520 --> 01:47:42,439
Speaker 1: What have you seen from the Bills running him? I

1977
01:47:42,479 --> 01:47:44,960
Speaker 1: was having this conversation earlier with Brownie about how the

1978
01:47:45,040 --> 01:47:47,400
Speaker 1: last two games, particularly the Pittsburgh game where they had

1979
01:47:47,400 --> 01:47:49,479
Speaker 1: seven minutes eleven seconds left on the clock and they

1980
01:47:49,560 --> 01:47:51,519
Speaker 1: ran it all out. And then in a game against

1981
01:47:51,720 --> 01:47:53,400
Speaker 1: the Broncos, they looked like they were going to try

1982
01:47:53,400 --> 01:47:54,920
Speaker 1: and run the clock out the same way and they

1983
01:47:54,960 --> 01:47:57,360
Speaker 1: snapped a fifty one yard run off and went up

1984
01:47:57,400 --> 01:47:59,680
Speaker 1: by twenty. Not right, I mean so it looks and

1985
01:47:59,760 --> 01:48:02,760
Speaker 1: even during the game at different times, and I noticed

1986
01:48:02,800 --> 01:48:06,200
Speaker 1: too a lot on second down runs, they were really

1987
01:48:06,240 --> 01:48:08,519
Speaker 1: having their way with Denver in the running game. So

1988
01:48:09,040 --> 01:48:11,479
Speaker 1: how is Buffalo's running game if they do get into

1989
01:48:11,520 --> 01:48:15,240
Speaker 1: a slugfest with New England? You know, I think it's funny.

1990
01:48:15,280 --> 01:48:17,559
Speaker 1: I think Zach Moss is starting to show some of

1991
01:48:17,600 --> 01:48:20,840
Speaker 1: the traits we saw in college, sort of that grinder

1992
01:48:21,200 --> 01:48:25,320
Speaker 1: sustaining grinder, urgent, competitive runner. He's not necessarily a big

1993
01:48:25,360 --> 01:48:28,080
Speaker 1: play runner, but I think we're starting to see him

1994
01:48:28,320 --> 01:48:31,160
Speaker 1: show those traits where he gets five yards, six yards,

1995
01:48:31,160 --> 01:48:34,160
Speaker 1: eight yards. It seems they like to run the outside zone,

1996
01:48:34,160 --> 01:48:37,799
Speaker 1: play to the left a lot, and he's been featured

1997
01:48:37,840 --> 01:48:39,840
Speaker 1: in that. Of course, now we're seeing one to the right,

1998
01:48:39,920 --> 01:48:44,479
Speaker 1: But I think that he's starting to show what I

1999
01:48:44,479 --> 01:48:47,439
Speaker 1: imagine is the reason why they drafted him, because when

2000
01:48:47,479 --> 01:48:49,720
Speaker 1: you drafted back in the third round, you expect him

2001
01:48:49,720 --> 01:48:52,439
Speaker 1: to play and be a factor. So you know, he

2002
01:48:52,520 --> 01:48:56,120
Speaker 1: has those kinds of traits which I think work extremely

2003
01:48:56,200 --> 01:48:59,040
Speaker 1: well with a quarterback like Josh, because if you can

2004
01:48:59,120 --> 01:49:02,599
Speaker 1: stay on schedule, a quarterback like Josh Allen, with his

2005
01:49:02,640 --> 01:49:06,080
Speaker 1: ability to make plays with his legs if needed, really

2006
01:49:06,160 --> 01:49:10,080
Speaker 1: becomes a big factor and very difficult to defend. So look,

2007
01:49:10,120 --> 01:49:12,720
Speaker 1: I've always believed that deep down they would like to

2008
01:49:12,840 --> 01:49:15,920
Speaker 1: run the ball more, but they've been inconsistent doing it,

2009
01:49:15,960 --> 01:49:19,439
Speaker 1: and Josh has been so good that they've ultimately stayed

2010
01:49:19,479 --> 01:49:21,720
Speaker 1: with what works. You know, keep one thing in mind,

2011
01:49:21,760 --> 01:49:24,280
Speaker 1: the last time they played New England was the only

2012
01:49:24,320 --> 01:49:27,160
Speaker 1: game this season in which Josh had less than twenty

2013
01:49:27,160 --> 01:49:29,920
Speaker 1: pass attempts and I think he had eighteen. And there

2014
01:49:29,920 --> 01:49:32,519
Speaker 1: have been numerous games this year or he's been in

2015
01:49:32,560 --> 01:49:35,519
Speaker 1: the forty plus rain, so you know, we'll see how

2016
01:49:35,520 --> 01:49:38,040
Speaker 1: they approached the game. At this point, we don't know

2017
01:49:38,040 --> 01:49:41,080
Speaker 1: who New England's quarterback will be, so and if it

2018
01:49:41,160 --> 01:49:43,640
Speaker 1: is Cam Newton or whoever it is, the point is

2019
01:49:43,800 --> 01:49:47,679
Speaker 1: with Cam Newton, what's so obvious watching tape is they're

2020
01:49:47,760 --> 01:49:50,280
Speaker 1: telling you by what they're doing on offense that they

2021
01:49:50,360 --> 01:49:53,760
Speaker 1: don't really want Cam Newton throwing the football. And so

2022
01:49:53,840 --> 01:49:57,280
Speaker 1: with that in mind, and I know it's a small

2023
01:49:57,320 --> 01:50:00,960
Speaker 1: sample size, but let's just say even at some point

2024
01:50:01,000 --> 01:50:05,759
Speaker 1: in the game, Jared Stidham enters, how might things change

2025
01:50:05,840 --> 01:50:09,000
Speaker 1: based on the limited sample size that you've seen, how

2026
01:50:09,040 --> 01:50:12,599
Speaker 1: their offense might change with Stidham in the game. Well,

2027
01:50:12,640 --> 01:50:15,439
Speaker 1: it becomes more conventional, Chris, because obviously you're not going

2028
01:50:15,479 --> 01:50:18,240
Speaker 1: to get the quarterback run game, so it becomes far

2029
01:50:18,400 --> 01:50:21,559
Speaker 1: more conventional, which doesn't mean it's easier to defend. I

2030
01:50:21,560 --> 01:50:24,240
Speaker 1: guess it doesn't a sense because there's less you have

2031
01:50:24,280 --> 01:50:27,559
Speaker 1: to defend unless you have to be concerned about He's

2032
01:50:27,680 --> 01:50:29,960
Speaker 1: essentially a pocket quarterback. He can move a little bit

2033
01:50:30,000 --> 01:50:32,120
Speaker 1: you know he can if obviously the pocket breaks down,

2034
01:50:32,160 --> 01:50:34,519
Speaker 1: he can move. He's not a statue, but he's not

2035
01:50:34,560 --> 01:50:36,120
Speaker 1: a guy that's going to beat you out of the

2036
01:50:36,120 --> 01:50:39,360
Speaker 1: pocket with any consistency. And he's not going to beat

2037
01:50:39,400 --> 01:50:42,599
Speaker 1: you with design runs. So so therefore, the way you

2038
01:50:42,720 --> 01:50:46,320
Speaker 1: rush the quarterback changes. You don't need. I don't know

2039
01:50:46,360 --> 01:50:50,000
Speaker 1: if if they have a spy concept in mind if

2040
01:50:50,040 --> 01:50:52,599
Speaker 1: Newton plays, but you certainly don't need to do that

2041
01:50:53,520 --> 01:50:58,799
Speaker 1: with Jared Stidham. So just the overall defensive approach changes.

2042
01:50:58,800 --> 01:51:02,519
Speaker 1: And obviously they're practicing both these things this week because

2043
01:51:02,560 --> 01:51:05,360
Speaker 1: they just don't know. And my guess is Belichick's not

2044
01:51:05,400 --> 01:51:07,880
Speaker 1: going to ring the bell and make a big public announcement.

2045
01:51:08,720 --> 01:51:12,200
Speaker 1: That's problem. I'd love to see it too. Yeah, Bill

2046
01:51:12,240 --> 01:51:15,960
Speaker 1: Belichick is a town crier. That would be great. Let yeah, yeah, yeah,

2047
01:51:16,040 --> 01:51:18,360
Speaker 1: let's go down with the Bills play the Dolphins in

2048
01:51:18,400 --> 01:51:20,200
Speaker 1: Week seventeen. I know it's a it's a couple of

2049
01:51:20,200 --> 01:51:21,840
Speaker 1: weeks out's on the horizon and we don't even know

2050
01:51:21,880 --> 01:51:24,320
Speaker 1: what that game is gonna mean if anything, but Tuah

2051
01:51:25,000 --> 01:51:27,439
Speaker 1: has been playing for the Dolphins, is he has he

2052
01:51:27,520 --> 01:51:30,639
Speaker 1: shown enough this last week? I got to say showed

2053
01:51:30,680 --> 01:51:33,920
Speaker 1: me something that you know, Miami fans have been screaming

2054
01:51:33,960 --> 01:51:36,400
Speaker 1: about for a while. They love the guy. And I

2055
01:51:36,439 --> 01:51:37,960
Speaker 1: saw a little bit of what we used to see

2056
01:51:37,960 --> 01:51:41,519
Speaker 1: in Josh in two. I mean, he seemed like he's

2057
01:51:41,800 --> 01:51:44,479
Speaker 1: he's got a ceiling that's going to be able to

2058
01:51:44,479 --> 01:51:46,680
Speaker 1: make him the Miami quarterback going forward. What do you

2059
01:51:46,720 --> 01:51:49,479
Speaker 1: think about him? Oh, well, he will be because obviously

2060
01:51:49,479 --> 01:51:52,120
Speaker 1: they drafted him fifth. He's their quarterback. You know. I

2061
01:51:52,160 --> 01:51:55,479
Speaker 1: think for the most part, he's what I saw on

2062
01:51:56,479 --> 01:51:58,720
Speaker 1: tape coming out of Alabama, and believe it or not,

2063
01:51:59,320 --> 01:52:03,040
Speaker 1: Belichick talked about him least. Belichick is phenomenal in his

2064
01:52:03,080 --> 01:52:06,280
Speaker 1: press conferences when you ask him about opposing players, and

2065
01:52:06,320 --> 01:52:08,600
Speaker 1: I'm so anxious to see what he says about Josh

2066
01:52:08,640 --> 01:52:10,920
Speaker 1: first of all, but he's so good when you ask

2067
01:52:11,000 --> 01:52:13,920
Speaker 1: him about opposing players as long as you don't ask

2068
01:52:14,000 --> 01:52:15,919
Speaker 1: Hi about the game plan. As you guys know, he'll

2069
01:52:15,960 --> 01:52:19,200
Speaker 1: talk about opposing players and their strengths, weaknesses, their traits.

2070
01:52:19,720 --> 01:52:22,360
Speaker 1: And it made me feel very good because almost everything

2071
01:52:22,360 --> 01:52:26,320
Speaker 1: he said about too, that was basically my evaluation sheet

2072
01:52:26,320 --> 01:52:31,080
Speaker 1: coming out of Alabama. He's not really an athletic movement player.

2073
01:52:31,360 --> 01:52:34,680
Speaker 1: Now can he move, yes, and people should not be

2074
01:52:34,720 --> 01:52:36,960
Speaker 1: fooled by the fact that always scored a rushing touchdown

2075
01:52:37,040 --> 01:52:41,240
Speaker 1: or two. He's essentially a rhythmic pocket player and that's

2076
01:52:41,280 --> 01:52:43,599
Speaker 1: the way chan Gailly is using him. That's the way

2077
01:52:43,600 --> 01:52:46,800
Speaker 1: the offense is designed. He's very, very good at that.

2078
01:52:47,200 --> 01:52:49,400
Speaker 1: I think he has a really good feel for the

2079
01:52:49,560 --> 01:52:53,120
Speaker 1: route concepts versus the defense, and the ball comes out

2080
01:52:53,160 --> 01:52:55,920
Speaker 1: with timing, with rhythm. Not a big armed kid. He

2081
01:52:55,960 --> 01:52:58,360
Speaker 1: can make throws, but he's not big armed. But he

2082
01:52:58,479 --> 01:53:00,280
Speaker 1: just has to me a very good feel for the

2083
01:53:00,280 --> 01:53:04,519
Speaker 1: passing game. What do we anticipate we will see greg

2084
01:53:04,640 --> 01:53:08,280
Speaker 1: from the Rams after they're shocking loss to the Jets

2085
01:53:08,360 --> 01:53:11,120
Speaker 1: last week. They have a giant Division game against Seattle

2086
01:53:11,200 --> 01:53:14,920
Speaker 1: this week of enormous proportions. Now that they're a game

2087
01:53:14,960 --> 01:53:18,840
Speaker 1: behind after that loss. So are we expecting maybe that

2088
01:53:18,920 --> 01:53:22,479
Speaker 1: bounce back performance from this group where you know, they

2089
01:53:22,520 --> 01:53:25,040
Speaker 1: look like they have some sense of urgency, which wasn't

2090
01:53:25,080 --> 01:53:28,320
Speaker 1: the case last week. What happens, Yeah, I guess they'll

2091
01:53:28,360 --> 01:53:31,120
Speaker 1: be ready to play. That would be my guest. You

2092
01:53:31,160 --> 01:53:33,240
Speaker 1: know what I think you'll see from the Rams. I

2093
01:53:33,280 --> 01:53:36,120
Speaker 1: think you'll see a lot of no huddle tempo because

2094
01:53:36,439 --> 01:53:39,920
Speaker 1: Jehan McVeigh has used that selectively throughout the season. It's

2095
01:53:39,920 --> 01:53:42,599
Speaker 1: a good way to get your offense into it right away.

2096
01:53:42,840 --> 01:53:45,360
Speaker 1: And the other thing it does against Seattle is it

2097
01:53:45,400 --> 01:53:49,479
Speaker 1: limits pre snap movement and it also limits Jamal Adams

2098
01:53:49,479 --> 01:53:52,120
Speaker 1: as a blitzer. But by the way, one thing that's

2099
01:53:52,200 --> 01:53:55,040
Speaker 1: very interesting and people I'm sure are not aware of this,

2100
01:53:55,760 --> 01:53:58,200
Speaker 1: because Jamal Adams broke the record for sacks I guess

2101
01:53:58,200 --> 01:54:01,160
Speaker 1: by a defensive back in a season when they blitzed

2102
01:54:01,200 --> 01:54:03,160
Speaker 1: Jamal Adams. And I do have the numbers, but I'm

2103
01:54:03,160 --> 01:54:04,880
Speaker 1: not going to sit here and recite numbers. But when

2104
01:54:04,920 --> 01:54:09,599
Speaker 1: they blitzed Jamal Adams, quarterbacks eat up the Seahawks defense.

2105
01:54:09,800 --> 01:54:13,680
Speaker 1: He gets sacks. But the overall numbers against the Seahawks

2106
01:54:13,880 --> 01:54:17,120
Speaker 1: when he blitzes, which is something like ninety plus times

2107
01:54:17,120 --> 01:54:20,360
Speaker 1: this year, the numbers are off the charts for the offense.

2108
01:54:20,400 --> 01:54:23,479
Speaker 1: They eat up the Seahawks defense when he blitzes. Are

2109
01:54:23,520 --> 01:54:26,880
Speaker 1: you talking like a completion percentage around seventy five eighty percent? Like,

2110
01:54:26,920 --> 01:54:30,120
Speaker 1: what are we talking about? It's over seventy It's a

2111
01:54:30,160 --> 01:54:34,760
Speaker 1: ton of yards. It's a ton of yards per attempt, touchdowns,

2112
01:54:34,800 --> 01:54:38,600
Speaker 1: no interceptions. Wow. So other than the sacks that he gets,

2113
01:54:38,640 --> 01:54:42,000
Speaker 1: which obviously are are very dramatic and visual, they don't

2114
01:54:42,040 --> 01:54:44,560
Speaker 1: do well as a defense when he blitzes. One thing

2115
01:54:44,600 --> 01:54:46,200
Speaker 1: I got to ask you before we go this week

2116
01:54:46,240 --> 01:54:48,680
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl v balloting came out. He's talked about

2117
01:54:48,960 --> 01:54:51,160
Speaker 1: Jay won't look at that right. But you we've talked

2118
01:54:51,200 --> 01:54:53,960
Speaker 1: about Jordan Poyer on the show before. You you seem

2119
01:54:53,960 --> 01:54:56,760
Speaker 1: to like the way he has right and he is

2120
01:54:56,800 --> 01:54:58,200
Speaker 1: and he was, you know, he didn't get in the

2121
01:54:58,200 --> 01:55:00,400
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl, and I was wondering, could you give us

2122
01:55:00,400 --> 01:55:02,480
Speaker 1: a real affirma is it's not just a you know,

2123
01:55:02,680 --> 01:55:05,440
Speaker 1: Bills fanboy talking about how great Jordan Poyer is. You

2124
01:55:05,480 --> 01:55:09,080
Speaker 1: agree how good of safety he is. I think Jordan

2125
01:55:09,080 --> 01:55:10,760
Speaker 1: Poyer is one of the best safeties in the NFL.

2126
01:55:11,120 --> 01:55:14,600
Speaker 1: I think he's complete, He's multidimensional. They use him more

2127
01:55:14,680 --> 01:55:17,400
Speaker 1: in the box than they do hide. But I think

2128
01:55:17,680 --> 01:55:20,360
Speaker 1: Poyer can play in the box, he can play on

2129
01:55:20,400 --> 01:55:24,080
Speaker 1: the back end. He's very competitive and good against the run.

2130
01:55:24,480 --> 01:55:26,760
Speaker 1: They use him as a blitzer of times. To me,

2131
01:55:27,000 --> 01:55:29,840
Speaker 1: and again, I'm not charting every safety in the league,

2132
01:55:29,880 --> 01:55:32,160
Speaker 1: so you know, but I think when you talk about

2133
01:55:32,200 --> 01:55:34,960
Speaker 1: the top safeties in the league, and I've seen enough,

2134
01:55:35,000 --> 01:55:37,160
Speaker 1: believe me, because I try to get through as many

2135
01:55:37,160 --> 01:55:39,840
Speaker 1: games as I can every single week, and by this

2136
01:55:39,880 --> 01:55:42,160
Speaker 1: time of the year, I've seen every team. I think

2137
01:55:42,240 --> 01:55:44,040
Speaker 1: Jordan Poyer is one of the best safeties in the

2138
01:55:44,200 --> 01:55:47,000
Speaker 1: NFL when you talk about a complete skill set and

2139
01:55:47,040 --> 01:55:49,200
Speaker 1: how he can be used in the context of a defense.

2140
01:55:50,160 --> 01:55:54,400
Speaker 1: All right, Greg, enjoy the holiday weekend and I'm sure

2141
01:55:54,440 --> 01:55:56,920
Speaker 1: you'll be crunching film throughout the weekend before that big

2142
01:55:56,960 --> 01:55:59,600

Speaker 1: related Christmas gift you ever received, and we have gotten

2167
01:57:36,080 --> 01:57:40,440
Speaker 1: some interesting answers on the tweet sheet, which, as you know,

2168
01:57:40,560 --> 01:57:42,839
Speaker 1: is brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official

2169
01:57:42,840 --> 01:57:46,120
Speaker 1: equipment moving company of the Bills, and we are up

2170
01:57:46,160 --> 01:57:52,720
Speaker 1: to I believe it's Jack who says, in nineteen ninety four,

2171
01:57:52,760 --> 01:57:55,160
Speaker 1: I was eleven years old and my mother got me

2172
01:57:55,200 --> 01:57:59,000
Speaker 1: the old Champion Blue Bills jersey of my favorite player,

2173
01:57:59,080 --> 01:58:02,560
Speaker 1: number eighty nine, Steve Tasker you go. I was the

2174
01:58:02,600 --> 01:58:04,640
Speaker 1: only kid with number eighty nine, and luckily it was

2175
01:58:04,680 --> 01:58:07,800
Speaker 1: a big jersey because I still have it and wear

2176
01:58:07,840 --> 01:58:09,800
Speaker 1: it to this day. I would love to get you

2177
01:58:09,840 --> 01:58:13,440
Speaker 1: to sign at Steve future Hall of Famer. That's great.

2178
01:58:13,440 --> 01:58:15,400
Speaker 1: The old Champion gear that we used to wear, a

2179
01:58:15,480 --> 01:58:18,960
Speaker 1: Champion gear with the club, and that you can't wear

2180
01:58:19,000 --> 01:58:23,240
Speaker 1: that stuff out and it is thick and I got

2181
01:58:23,360 --> 01:58:26,000
Speaker 1: to an industrial strength man. A lot of parents were

2182
01:58:26,000 --> 01:58:28,560
Speaker 1: playing in Ahead. They used to get the adult sized

2183
01:58:28,640 --> 01:58:30,880
Speaker 1: jersey even if their kid was eleven or twelve, because

2184
01:58:30,880 --> 01:58:34,080
Speaker 1: they're figuring, I can wear it for seven eight years. Now,

2185
01:58:34,200 --> 01:58:37,000
Speaker 1: you're not growing out of this thing I got. I got.

2186
01:58:37,000 --> 01:58:41,560
Speaker 1: I have old Champion sweatshirts. They're like literally thirty years

2187
01:58:41,560 --> 01:58:45,280
Speaker 1: old and you can still because they're you know, they're indestructible. Yeah.

2188
01:58:45,320 --> 01:58:48,480
Speaker 1: I mean that company was unbelievably. They just wore. They

2189
01:58:48,520 --> 01:58:52,080
Speaker 1: just made stuff that wore really well. From Dinah on

2190
01:58:52,120 --> 01:58:55,760
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet. Hidden somewhere in my parents' house is

2191
01:58:55,800 --> 01:58:59,000
Speaker 1: a key chain with a piece of rich stadium turf.

2192
01:58:59,400 --> 01:59:02,120
Speaker 1: It was put way for my Christmas gift many years ago,

2193
01:59:02,560 --> 01:59:06,080
Speaker 1: but so well hidden that to this day it's unfound.

2194
01:59:07,400 --> 01:59:12,480
Speaker 1: It's the best bills related gift I've never received on Christmas.

2195
01:59:13,280 --> 01:59:15,280
Speaker 1: Well done, dine up. My wife does it all the time.

2196
01:59:15,840 --> 01:59:19,879
Speaker 1: She's the kind of person that if she sees something

2197
01:59:19,960 --> 01:59:22,600
Speaker 1: that she thinks someone will like, whether it's for Christmas,

2198
01:59:22,640 --> 01:59:25,960
Speaker 1: their birthday, Mother's Day, anything, it doesn't matter. If it's

2199
01:59:26,000 --> 01:59:29,840
Speaker 1: six months in advance, she will purchase it. Then she

2200
01:59:29,880 --> 01:59:33,920
Speaker 1: will put it somewhere, you know, because we we admittedly

2201
01:59:33,920 --> 01:59:36,240
Speaker 1: have snoopers in our house when it comes to gifts.

2202
01:59:36,320 --> 01:59:39,800
Speaker 1: It's not me, it's everybody else. So she will strategically

2203
01:59:39,880 --> 01:59:44,360
Speaker 1: hide it somewhere. Unfortunately, she forgets sometimes where she has

2204
01:59:44,360 --> 01:59:47,840
Speaker 1: put said gift, and then it becomes a treasure hunt

2205
01:59:48,280 --> 01:59:51,680
Speaker 1: and it's off, not often, but sometimes a failed treasure hunt,

2206
01:59:51,680 --> 01:59:53,440
Speaker 1: and then we have to get something else for that person.

2207
01:59:53,520 --> 01:59:55,920
Speaker 1: I'm a step step below that, because what I'll do

2208
01:59:56,000 --> 01:59:58,920
Speaker 1: if if I do buy somebody a gift for Christmas

2209
01:59:59,000 --> 02:00:01,760
Speaker 1: and you get a no member September, October, whatever, you know,

2210
02:00:01,760 --> 02:00:04,400
Speaker 1: in the fall early in the year, and you put

2211
02:00:04,400 --> 02:00:09,000
Speaker 1: it away, I forget I ever bought it, let alone

2212
02:00:09,000 --> 02:00:12,920
Speaker 1: that I can't find it. Yeah, right, I've done that.

2213
02:00:12,920 --> 02:00:18,400
Speaker 1: That's just why I have really one or two hiding places,

2214
02:00:18,880 --> 02:00:21,920
Speaker 1: because I know me, if I have more than two

2215
02:00:21,920 --> 02:00:24,480
Speaker 1: of anything, I'm gonna forget one of them. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

2216
02:00:24,520 --> 02:00:27,680
Speaker 1: And so I have one or two hiding places. So

2217
02:00:27,720 --> 02:00:29,800
Speaker 1: if I can't find something, I'm like, well, it's either

2218
02:00:29,880 --> 02:00:32,880
Speaker 1: here or it's here. If I buy somebody a gift,

2219
02:00:34,680 --> 02:00:37,600
Speaker 1: I want to give it to them like now, Like

2220
02:00:37,640 --> 02:00:39,920
Speaker 1: I want to take the rap like, take the tag off,

2221
02:00:40,240 --> 02:00:42,400
Speaker 1: run to where they are and hand it to them. Yeah.

2222
02:00:42,720 --> 02:00:45,960
Speaker 1: Then right then, I know it's July seventh, but Mary,

2223
02:00:46,000 --> 02:00:49,760
Speaker 1: Chris Christmas, exactly right, It's exactly right. I struggle with

2224
02:00:49,800 --> 02:00:54,880
Speaker 1: that and struggle, struggle, struggle with it. I'm totally I can't.

2225
02:00:55,320 --> 02:00:58,120
Speaker 1: I can't. I have the same thing with like, yeah,

2226
02:00:58,280 --> 02:01:00,640
Speaker 1: I just can't wait. I just can't wait. I was

2227
02:01:00,680 --> 02:01:02,520
Speaker 1: just give it to them. Yeah, last one on the

2228
02:01:02,520 --> 02:01:04,840
Speaker 1: tweet sheet that we'll get to from Dave. He says,

2229
02:01:05,600 --> 02:01:09,440
Speaker 1: Josh Allen best gift ever. Yeah, And I imagine he's

2230
02:01:09,480 --> 02:01:12,200
Speaker 1: not the only one feeling that way these days. We

2231
02:01:12,320 --> 02:01:13,840
Speaker 1: go back to the phone, though, where we have a

2241
02:01:40,520 --> 02:01:42,600

2270
02:02:58,440 --> 02:03:01,160
Speaker 1: Thanks guys. The best gift I ever got. My father

2271
02:03:01,240 --> 02:03:04,200
Speaker 1: had season tickets to the Bills. I got a four

2272
02:03:04,240 --> 02:03:06,960
Speaker 1: tickets for the Houston comeback game, and I took two

2273
02:03:07,040 --> 02:03:10,640
Speaker 1: high school friends and we got got there. We had

2274
02:03:10,640 --> 02:03:12,720
Speaker 1: one extra ticket and I never used it. I kept

2275
02:03:12,720 --> 02:03:14,440
Speaker 1: it in my pocket. After the game, We're like, oh

2276
02:03:14,480 --> 02:03:16,640
Speaker 1: my gosh, this is worth a lot. So I took

2277
02:03:16,640 --> 02:03:19,800
Speaker 1: the ticket, got it signed by Frank Wright the WHOA Summer,

2278
02:03:20,360 --> 02:03:22,280
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh my gosh, I'm getting this

2279
02:03:22,320 --> 02:03:24,800
Speaker 1: thing framed. And then before I got it framed, I

2280
02:03:24,840 --> 02:03:27,320
Speaker 1: had an opportunity to take it to someplace where Steve

2281
02:03:27,400 --> 02:03:30,200
Speaker 1: was signing autographs. And I took the ticket, gave it

2282
02:03:30,240 --> 02:03:32,400
Speaker 1: to Steve and he looked at it. He goes, is

2283
02:03:32,400 --> 02:03:34,200
Speaker 1: this what I think it is? I said, yes, it's

2284
02:03:34,240 --> 02:03:36,840
Speaker 1: an unused ticket from the comeback game, and he signed it.

2285
02:03:36,880 --> 02:03:39,680
Speaker 1: So I've got Frank Wrych and Steve Tasker signed that ticket,

2286
02:03:39,720 --> 02:03:42,080
Speaker 1: and it's framed in my house, and now with my

2287
02:03:42,560 --> 02:03:45,600
Speaker 1: with my segature, it's worthless. You should have just had

2288
02:03:45,640 --> 02:03:49,640
Speaker 1: Frank sign it. No, right, it was great though, Frank.

2289
02:03:49,800 --> 02:03:54,240
Speaker 1: Frank was the headliner of that game for sure. Yeah, yeah,

2290
02:03:54,320 --> 02:03:57,040
Speaker 1: that is. That is a good one. Good on you

2291
02:03:57,120 --> 02:04:00,839
Speaker 1: for having the foresight to keep the unused ticket, because

2292
02:04:01,240 --> 02:04:04,280
Speaker 1: an unripped ticket from that game that's got to be

2293
02:04:04,280 --> 02:04:06,680
Speaker 1: worth a lot. I had a guy, I had a

2294
02:04:06,680 --> 02:04:08,200
Speaker 1: guy that's a that's a great story. And I have

2295
02:04:08,440 --> 02:04:11,200
Speaker 1: one that somebody gave me a ticket stub, a used

2296
02:04:11,240 --> 02:04:17,160
Speaker 1: ticket stub years later to the final game of the

2297
02:04:17,240 --> 02:04:19,520
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety seven season in Green Bay, the one I

2416
02:10:47,640 --> 02:10:49,600

2417
02:10:49,600 --> 02:10:51,720

2420
02:10:56,240 --> 02:10:58,880

2421
02:10:59,360 --> 02:11:03,160

Speaker 1: more segment to go. Chris Brown Steve Tasker back in

2425
02:11:11,320 --> 02:11:13,680
Speaker 1: a flash. Here on One Bill's Live, presented by Kalida Health.

2426
02:11:13,680 --> 02:11:31,760
Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bill's Radio time for what have we learned?

2427
02:11:32,800 --> 02:11:35,720
Speaker 1: Brought to you by Skyworks, the official construction equipment rental

2428
02:11:35,760 --> 02:11:38,880
Speaker 1: company of the Buffalo Bills. One thing we learned today?

2429
02:11:39,000 --> 02:11:42,600
Speaker 1: Juju Smith Schuster, in a statement today, said in the

2430
02:11:42,640 --> 02:11:45,480
Speaker 1: interest of the team, he will no longer be dancing

2431
02:11:45,560 --> 02:11:49,920
Speaker 1: on visiting team logos pregame. Gee. I wonder if somebody

2432
02:11:49,920 --> 02:11:54,360
Speaker 1: had a talking to I think Mike Tomlin said he

2433
02:11:54,360 --> 02:11:56,920
Speaker 1: did plan to talk to Juju about it, although he

2434
02:11:57,000 --> 02:12:00,640
Speaker 1: didn't believe that what happens pre game impact what happens

2435
02:12:00,640 --> 02:12:04,200
Speaker 1: in the Bengals might have driven the point home, right

2436
02:12:04,440 --> 02:12:08,640
Speaker 1: with the shot. So that is that. That is something

2437
02:12:08,680 --> 02:12:11,720
Speaker 1: we learned today, and I'm happy that those antics have

2438
02:12:11,800 --> 02:12:14,520
Speaker 1: been put to rest because it's just, I don't know,

2439
02:12:14,560 --> 02:12:18,040
Speaker 1: it strikes me as selfish, even though it has nothing

2440
02:12:18,080 --> 02:12:20,120
Speaker 1: to do with the game. It's it's just like, look

2441
02:12:20,160 --> 02:12:21,600
Speaker 1: at me, look at me, look at me, and it's

2442
02:12:21,680 --> 02:12:25,240
Speaker 1: just way too much of that. NFL players have a

2443
02:12:25,320 --> 02:12:29,440
Speaker 1: platform that they can use, and obviously they get to

2444
02:12:29,480 --> 02:12:32,680
Speaker 1: use it however they want, and this is how Juju

2445
02:12:32,880 --> 02:12:37,800
Speaker 1: wanted to use his platform, and other guys can do

2446
02:12:37,960 --> 02:12:42,120
Speaker 1: things for widows and orphans. Yeah, we got time for

2447
02:12:42,240 --> 02:12:44,920
Speaker 1: one more call to squeeze in here and we are

2448
02:12:44,920 --> 02:12:47,600
Speaker 1: going to go to Jeff in Ala Gainey, Jeff, what

2449
02:12:47,600 --> 02:12:49,280
Speaker 1: do you have for us? You're on one Bill's Live.

2450
02:12:49,960 --> 02:12:53,600
Speaker 1: Good afternoon, Jelen, how are you good? That's Christmas present?

2451
02:12:53,600 --> 02:12:56,880
Speaker 1: I received Bills related nineteen ninety six. So this is

2452
02:12:56,920 --> 02:13:01,800
Speaker 1: what twenty four years ago, Yeah, Bills Jags home playoff tickets,

2453
02:13:01,840 --> 02:13:04,480
Speaker 1: which little did I know then that was Jim Kelly's

2454
02:13:04,560 --> 02:13:06,640
Speaker 1: last game with the Bills and that was the last

2455
02:13:06,720 --> 02:13:10,400
Speaker 1: home playoff game for the team now until two weeks

2456
02:13:10,440 --> 02:13:14,360
Speaker 1: from now. Maybe maybe somebody in your family remembers that,

2457
02:13:14,960 --> 02:13:18,560
Speaker 1: and you'll see what they can do to get you

2458
02:13:18,640 --> 02:13:21,720
Speaker 1: somewhat closer to a playoff game this year, although we're

2459
02:13:21,760 --> 02:13:25,040
Speaker 1: relying on Governor Cuomo and the Health Commissioner of the

2460
02:13:25,040 --> 02:13:29,040
Speaker 1: state for that. Yeah, even if the sixty seven number passes,

2461
02:13:29,080 --> 02:13:33,400
Speaker 1: I'd probably be sixty seven one. Yeah yeah, right else,

2462
02:13:33,480 --> 02:13:36,320
