1
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 1: These one bills live presented by called Light to Health.

2
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: And I asked our guy, Jeff Missouri, Kigo, what do

3
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 1: we expect? He just said, snow Saturday. Lake Effects snow

4
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: is going to be heading on from Buffalo and then

5
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:47,560
Speaker 1: south towards the stadium. There's a chance of steady snow

6
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 1: with it possibly becoming heavy right when kickoff starts. Temperatures

7
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 1: in the twenty with gusty thirty mile per hour wins.

8
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: Remember Lake Effects Snow. Those bands, they're only about twenty

9
00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: miles wide, so it doesn't take much for the snow

10
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 1: and then out and it comes a short distance away,

11
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 1: and I think we're gonna have some real weather. I

12
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: got to show up Saturday night versus Buffalo and this cold,

13
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 1: cold temperature and be able to make plays. But Jason,

14
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: you said something about temperature today and Hunolulu, Hawaii. We're

15
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: till I talking about all the high school eighty degrees.

16
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 1: It sounds good today, Buffalo, New York twenty one degrees,

17
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:32,759
Speaker 1: twenty one degrees degrees, playing a higher level than wed

18
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 1: before fires. It intercept it picked up by Carinavias White,

19
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: Who are you good? Afternoon on a snowy day in

20
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: Orchard Parker precipitation is come when the temperature is dragging.

21
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: That's right, the snows a coming. It's now a lake

22
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: effects snow Warning. Welcome to one Bills Live Friday edition,

23
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: as we get you pumped up for what is expected

24
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 1: to be a winter wonderland Tomorrow night, eight fifteen Bills,

25
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: Dolphins and uh yeah, I know it may snow in

26
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 1: Alabama toa but not like this. The snow totals have

27
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: been upped. It went from twelve to eighteen to eighteen

28
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: to twenty four over the life of the storm. Incidentally,

29
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 1: the Lake effects Snow Warning starts tonight at seven pm

30
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: and runs until Monday. Steve, Ah, Yeah, I love it.

31
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:47,239
Speaker 1: It's um yeah, it's it's not gonna be pretty bite

32
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 1: any standard. Yeah. So I think one thing for fans

33
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: that are coming to the stadium, I would plan on

34
00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: putting a shovel in the trunk or rear of your car,

35
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: because from the time you get here to the time

36
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 1: you leave after the game, there's very likely to be

37
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,239
Speaker 1: a foot of accumulation over that period of time. We're

38
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,519
Speaker 1: not looking, at least right now, at two to three

39
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: inches an hour, which is considered heavy lake effects. Now

40
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: The latest reports are indicating about an inch an hour,

41
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: which is manageable. I think to play a football game

42
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: two to three inches, everything goes out the window, and

43
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: three inches an hour you just can't keep up. Yeah,

44
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: we've seen it. We all remember, we all seen the

45
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: clips the snow game in two thousand and seventeen against No.

46
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: Fifteen against the Colts twenty seventy. Okay, it you couldn't

47
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: keep up with it. It came down so fast. They

48
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: had guys shoveling and blowing the stuff off. They could

49
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: keep They try to do the yard markers and the

50
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: hash marks, all of that. They just couldn't keep up

51
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: with it. It comes down so fast. This looks like

52
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: it will be, you know, once they clear it, and

53
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: then they'll clear it again at time. They'll clear it

54
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: pre game. They'll take the tarp off and Brownie, I

55
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: just thought it was ninety minutes four hours before game.

56
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 1: They got to take the tarp off four hours before

57
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: the game. So they'll do that, and then when they

58
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 1: clear the field pre game, they will probably make way

59
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: for the snow removal if they need it, then to

60
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: clear it off right before kickoff, then to get at halftime.

61
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: If they can. That's the way it used to be done.

62
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 1: So we'll see if if that can be If that's

63
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: the way it's gonna be. Um, yeah, it's a problem.

64
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: It's because it's real. It's gonna be a real thing.

65
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: And Brownie's right, pack the car. No one, you're gonna

66
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: be in for a snowstorm. You're gonna have to dig

67
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 1: in and dig out of. So because here's the thing.

68
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 1: And I didn't get a chance to talk to stadium

69
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: operations today. I was gonna lob them a phone call,

70
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 1: but I figured they're gonna be busy enough. I didn't

71
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: really want to bug them. But when you have stadium

72
00:04:53,800 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 1: lots filled with cars, your plows can't do a whole lot.

73
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: I mean they can go up and down the rows.

74
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 1: Drive your folks, drive your SUVs with four wheel drives,

75
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: bring that stuff, get bring a shovel on the back,

76
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 1: bring out the heavy gear. Um, just do yourself a

77
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,720
Speaker 1: favor and then plan on it. Listen, folks, it's an

78
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: eight fifteen kickoff. It's a three hour game, give or

79
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 1: take probably probably give probably gonna be three hours and

80
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 1: twenty most so that puts you at eleven forty five

81
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 1: game over eleven thirty. Anyway, game over all, Right, Traffic

82
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,600
Speaker 1: is gonna be slow and hard. It's gonna be a

83
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: late night. Bring your kindness card, try to be patient.

84
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: Let's remember, you know, we just remember who we represent here.

85
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: It's Saturday nights. Plan on a long night after the game,

86
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 1: plan on a long day before the game. Just be ready.

87
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: It's gonna be really, really hot, tough. It's gonna be

88
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 1: one of those games you're gonna have stories to tell im.

89
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: I can imagine, but um, yeah, this is a this

90
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: is the real thing. Oh it's happening. Yeah. And we

91
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: were on the air yesterday. We went we went off

92
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: the air, I believe right after it flipped right because

93
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 1: it was a lake effect it flipped. Yeah, it was

94
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: a lake effect storm watch, which means it has a

95
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 1: strong possibility of happening. Then it flipped to a lake

96
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 1: effect storm warning. When it flips to a warning, that

97
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: means it is imminent it is going to happen. I got,

98
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 1: I got one. There are people, you know, social media

99
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: is awesome because of you know, both the good and

100
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,479
Speaker 1: the idiocy that's on it. You guy said, you know,

101
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be bad where they're calling it a war.

102
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 1: You know, they're trying to warn you about it two

103
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:50,839
Speaker 1: days before. You know, they're not going to get it right,

104
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 1: not so much in Buffalo. Yeah, um right. It was

105
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 1: not a local guy who did that. Said that obviously,

106
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,479
Speaker 1: and I said it. I've said it the last couple

107
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 1: of days. When they predict it like this in Buffalo. Yeah,

108
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: they're pretty much right, right, And from what we understand,

109
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: plowing in and out of the rows of cars in

110
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: the lots is not going to happen. You can't during

111
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: or after the game because they're only gonna be you know,

112
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: taking care of the main arteries like one Bill's Drive

113
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 1: that'll get plowed, and you know Abbot Road, twenty Abbot

114
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 1: Road and twenty A Southwestern those will get plowed. But yeah,

115
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: they'll go Abbott all the way up north to bring

116
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: a shovel in the back of your car if you

117
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: are coming to the game. This is a little different

118
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 1: than the November storm we had a month ago because

119
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: this is gonna be south of the city, I think

120
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 1: mostly right. I mean it's gonna be a narrow band. Yeah,

121
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be sixty inches either, So they don't

122
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 1: they're not as worried about the pulling resources away from

123
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: neighborhoods who maybe stove up for a week. It's not

124
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: gonna be like that. So they're gonna have the road

125
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: I they'll be working hard keeping the roads clear. But

126
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 1: man or man, think about it, folks. Traffic's gonna be

127
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 1: a problem. Parking's gonna be you know, you're gonna have

128
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: to be slow and it and easy, you know, your

129
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: normal Think about the neighborhoods where you park. I mean,

130
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: these neighborhoods over in Orchard Park that off twenty a

131
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 1: off abbot, you know, the hammer, the hammer lot um.

132
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: You know they're gonna they're probably not gonna get a

133
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: chance to plow. They're not gonna need to plow them,

134
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: and probably before the game, well they might and they

135
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 1: may not be able to you know, I mean, they

136
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 1: may not want to do that. So you might just say, hey, listen,

137
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 1: come at your own risk. You might get stuck here

138
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 1: till April. But that's the kind of thing you're looking at.

139
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: So think about what you're doing and make some adjustments

140
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:50,679
Speaker 1: to your normal game day routine because you know it's

141
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 1: gonna be rough. It's gonna be a rough game bro. Yeah,

142
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,680
Speaker 1: I was thinking, Mike, what I was thinking like coming

143
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 1: all right, eight fifteen kick you want to time you

144
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: want to watch it. I mean I was coming like

145
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 1: maybe two to thirty in the afternoon. Three. I don't know, man,

146
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,839
Speaker 1: I might have to come earlier than that. You may

147
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 1: want to build in some extra time knowing that it's

148
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:14,079
Speaker 1: gonna be slowgo because we got stuff we do over here,

149
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, I'm gonna do post game with Maddie.

150
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 1: We kind of wind up for that. You guys, do

151
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 1: you know field pass field four? Before the game, we'll

152
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: be streaming that. You stream that before the game. Well,

153
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 1: here's the thing. Here's the thing, not that it's a

154
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:32,679
Speaker 1: huge deal. So I go do pregame radio and then

155
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 1: right from there, I have to come across the parking

156
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: lot here to the studio to do the pregame show.

157
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 1: So it's gonna I'm gonna get a real snow shoes.

158
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:39,599
Speaker 1: I'll get a real taste for what we're gonna be

159
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 1: looking at for the game. Yeah, it's supposed to now

160
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: that the warning starts tonight at seven? Is that still

161
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: in seven pm tonight? It runs through Monday, now, Friday

162
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: and Saturday. You know, southern Erie County, the southtowns, they're

163
00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:58,959
Speaker 1: supposed to get most of it from Friday and to

164
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 1: Saturday night, and then we drift into Sunday and Monday.

165
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 1: I guess most of it's supposed to go down to

166
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 1: the southern tier, and the southern tier is going to be,

167
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 1: you know, directly in line to get pounded for like

168
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 1: Sunday and Monday until the thing ends. But Friday and Saturday,

169
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 1: it's going to be right here in this neck of

170
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: the woods where we sit right now. So yes, it's

171
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: gonna be interesting, to say the least. Let's let's go.

172
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,439
Speaker 1: Let's go. So there, let's get to some of the

173
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:33,079
Speaker 1: player availability notes. Yesterday, in essence, was the final injury

174
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:37,959
Speaker 1: report of the week, so the designations for the game

175
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 1: came out. We did announce them on the air yesterday.

176
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 1: We didn't announce Miami's, but we did announce Buffalo's and

177
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 1: it's basically Ryan Bates and Jordan Phillips who will not play.

178
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 1: The anticipation is Greg Van Roten will start at right

179
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,439
Speaker 1: guard for Bates, who's out with the ankle injury. Phillip's

180
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 1: going to miss a second straight game with the shoulder injury,

181
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: but everybody else that was a little dinged and limited

182
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 1: in practiced during the week. They don't even have a

183
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 1: designation for Sunday, so essentially Matt Milano at Oliver Reggie

184
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: Gilliam all good to go for Saturday night's game, so

185
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:16,319
Speaker 1: that's good news. As for the Dolphins, it's an interesting list.

186
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 1: The two players who are out both play the safety position,

187
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 1: namely Eric Rowe and Elijah Campbell. So the backup I

188
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 1: did some I made a couple of calls yesterday after

189
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 1: the injury report came out. The general consensus out of

190
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 1: Miami is that the other safety playing opposite Javon Holland

191
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 1: the other starter, will be rookie Verne McKinley. He has

192
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 1: one start this season earlier in the year, so he

193
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 1: will make his second career start on Saturday night, provided

194
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,200
Speaker 1: that you know the information I got was accurate and

195
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 1: there's no reason to think it isn't, and you know,

196
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 1: you think about what the Dolphins may want to do

197
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 1: defensively in terms of dis guys and changing the look

198
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 1: from pre snap to post snap. How limited will McKinley

199
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 1: be making only a second start of his career Now,

200
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 1: I believe if I have this right, that both he

201
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,200
Speaker 1: and Javon Holland were college teammates at Oregon, so maybe

202
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 1: there's a longer working rapport with the two of them

203
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 1: then here with the Miami Dolphins. But still in all,

204
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: it's a young, inexperienced player, so I'm curious to see

205
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 1: how that all shakes out. It doesn't look like the

206
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 1: Dolphins are gonna have River Craycraft, who's probably the fifth,

207
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 1: fourth or fifth receiver in their core. He's got a

208
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: calf injury. He is doubtful. Then the questionable players of

209
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: interest left tackle toront Armstead, who's been dragging his body

210
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 1: around for the better part of a month and his

211
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 1: toe situation is not going to get better. He's gonna

212
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 1: need surgery after the season's over. He's got a peck

213
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 1: and a knee injury as well, so he's hobbling around

214
00:12:55,960 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 1: out there. And if the conditions are poor Steve terms

215
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 1: of footing and things like that, he's listed his questionable.

216
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,439
Speaker 1: The general consissus is he's gonna play, but if the

217
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 1: footings pour and all that, I mean, that can't be

218
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 1: good for a guy with a knee and a toe problem.

219
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 1: It's really a problem for guys that are hurt because

220
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 1: you you know, think about it as particularly if you

221
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 1: got a toe or a knee or whatever. If if

222
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,559
Speaker 1: you're running around you try and stop and start and

223
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 1: plant to cut to change direction and your your foot

224
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 1: slips out. I mean we've all been there where your

225
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 1: knee blows out. You know, you feel like feeling in

226
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 1: your knee when it happened. It's just really really don't

227
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 1: feel frail. For these guys who are huge, strong, that

228
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: you feel frail because if if you move the wrong

229
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,680
Speaker 1: way or get caught in a position, it's it hurts.

230
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: And you know, without knowing the severity of Armstead and on,

231
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 1: all these other guys who are struggling with hurts, and

232
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 1: you know, Mitch Morris is the same thing, and all

233
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 1: these guys that are that have you know, milano, you

234
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: really feel frail when you're out there on slippery surface. Well,

235
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 1: and not only that I experienced this myself, I would

236
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 1: assume it's the same for football players. When the weather's

237
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 1: colder and you've got an injury, it just aches and

238
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:12,560
Speaker 1: hurts more, doesn't it. It's stiffer, it's more, it feels

239
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 1: more sore, right, Like every little ache can hurt. Just

240
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: every time you get bumped, it just reverberates, especially when

241
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 1: it's cold. It just echoed, yes, every it just it's

242
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 1: like just turning it up for me to spike in

243
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 1: your feedback, right, I mean, it's just wow, um it

244
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 1: And listen, we've we talked a lot about it. You know,

245
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 1: the how the game was in Miami week three. I'll

246
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 1: see your one hundred and forty degrees on the sideline

247
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 1: and raise you two feet of snow. Yeah, I mean

248
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 1: it's it's gonna be as difficult although it's hard. Well,

249
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 1: it's just as difficult for the Bills players it is

250
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 1: for the Miami players, except it will be less startling

251
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: for them because we live in it. You go to

252
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 1: you go to work in it, you come home in it,

253
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 1: you go out to eat in it, you go to dinner,

254
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 1: you go to the grocery store, you get gas, You

255
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 1: live in it. You it doesn't when you walk out

256
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 1: that tunnel ready for the game, it's not a slap

257
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 1: in your face like it will be for the Dolphin

258
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: players when they get off that charter today. Dolphin players

259
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 1: will arrive in town today. The probably landed right around now.

260
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 1: It's maybe a little later. I'm telling you it's a

261
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 1: slap in the face. You get off that you get

262
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 1: off that jet and you walk down that stairs on

263
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: the tarmac. Hell, it's horrible, Yeah, it's horrible. The only

264
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 1: other injury of note running back Jeff Wilson. He's the

265
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 1: guy that they acquired at the trade deadline from San Francisco.

266
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 1: Obviously knows the Miami scheme since it comes directly from

267
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 1: San Francisco. He suffered a hip injury in the Sunday

268
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 1: night game last week against the Chargers. Did not return

269
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 1: to the game. He did not practice on Tuesday or Wednesday,

270
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 1: And let me just tell you Tuesday, they did not practice.

271
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 1: It was an estimation. Wednesday, the Dolphins had a walk through,

272
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 1: and then they had some kind of session on Thursday

273
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 1: before flying out today. He has listed as questionable as well.

274
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: Raheem Most is one of their other top two backs,

275
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 1: and he's not considered one hundred percent either. He's been

276
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 1: dealing with a nagging knee, at least according to reporters

277
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 1: down there. That is, knee hasn't been one hundred percent.

278
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 1: He's not on the injury report, but whatever, So that's

279
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 1: kind of how it shapes up in terms of his

280
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 1: injury designations and who may or may not play. I

281
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 1: know a lot of fans are wondering about Cole Beasley,

282
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 1: and the Bills have until four pm tomorrow to elevate

283
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 1: practice squad players if they choose to do so. Beasley,

284
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 1: you know, as a guy that is probably going to

285
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 1: be under the microscope to see if he is one

286
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 1: of those players that is elevated for the game. And

287
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 1: you know, we'll talk about that a little bit later

288
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 1: on in the show, because, as you know, here on Friday,

289
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: the obl Friday fan mail bag is open. Any questions

290
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 1: you have about the Bills or the NFL at large,

291
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 1: submit them to us at one Bills Live and we'll

292
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 1: try to get to as many of them as we

293
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 1: can through the course of the show. Just to let

294
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 1: you know what else is lined up, we have Tailgate

295
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,160
Speaker 1: Friday coming up a little bit later on in the hour,

296
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: where we will find out exactly what your tailgate plans

297
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 1: are in terms of your menu. If you want to

298
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 1: throw in your weather plans to shield your precious tailgate

299
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 1: food from the weather, you let us know about that

300
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 1: as well. That's gonna be half the battle. Yeah, I mean,

301
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 1: you better have it. You better have like one of

302
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 1: those pop up you know, canvas canopies or something, and

303
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 1: then you better have some cinder blocks to hold it down, right,

304
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:36,359
Speaker 1: you tie it to the vehicle. Um, yeah, it's uh,

305
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 1: it's planning. Today is a planning day. You gotta get

306
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,919
Speaker 1: it together. Yeah, and I would recommend, I don't know,

307
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:43,200
Speaker 1: a bunch of Bills fans are going to be that

308
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 1: we had that guy had that conversation kind of tongue

309
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,680
Speaker 1: in cheek. Is this a game you have to get

310
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 1: rid of your tickets or you have to keep them.

311
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 1: I think it's a half to keep them game. You

312
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 1: gotta be here, folks, You gotta be at this one.

313
00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 1: The Miami Dolphins after and you don't forget how Week

314
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 1: three ended, they ran out of time to spike it

315
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 1: for a winning field goal because they you couldn't get

316
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: out of bounds, couldn't get the ball spotted on a

317
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 1: game where they absolutely ran up, ran all over them

318
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 1: and couldn't get that win. That's the It's the Ken

319
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 1: Dorsey revenge game for the fit he threw in the

320
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:20,360
Speaker 1: press spot. It's all of that stuff in this let

321
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 1: alone the division that's on the line let alone, the

322
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,160
Speaker 1: number one seed that's on the line, let alone, that's

323
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,680
Speaker 1: in December in Buffalo, and that they gave it, and

324
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 1: they wouldn't give us misters on the sideline to keep

325
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 1: our guys from falling out with heat exhaustion. So it's

326
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:41,879
Speaker 1: that here, let's go. You gotta be here, you gotta

327
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 1: get here, you gotta and and come ready, not just

328

00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 1: and the tailgate, but when you get in the stadium,

331
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:02,440
Speaker 1: be allowed give it to him. Yeah, yeah, I mean

332
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:06,959
Speaker 1: this is this is you know, Bruce Lee. Let's go.

333
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 1: Let's push all our chips to the middle of the

334
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 1: table and show them this is the week to do it. Yeah,

335
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 1: we got to throw out our ace in the hole

336
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 1: right here. This week's game sponsor, by the way, is Toyota.

337
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 1: Toyota is the exclusive and official vehicle of the Buffalo Bills. Toyota.

338
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 1: Let's go places, Let's go around the NFL here quickly,

339
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:30,919
Speaker 1: Steve as we had a Thursday night game between the

340
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 1: Seahawks and the Niners. Thank you in an NFC West showdown,

341
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 1: and the Niners essentially put a bow on what will

342
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 1: be an NFC West title for them as they put

343
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,439
Speaker 1: more distance between themselves and the Seahawks, winning twenty one

344
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,159
Speaker 1: to thirteen. By the Way around the NFL presented by

345
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 1: Kalota Health, the official healthcare system of the Buffalo Bills,

346
00:19:54,560 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 1: and Kyle Shanahan said it after the game, Steve Purdy

347
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 1: is the most poised rookie he's ever coached, seventeen to

348
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 1: twenty six last night for two hundred and seventeen yards

349
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 1: and two touchdowns. Now, Seattle does not bring the best

350
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:13,919
Speaker 1: defense to the table. You know, the legion of Boom

351
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 1: is coming gone. They're not the defensive stalwarth they once were.

352
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean Purdie's done exactly what they need

353
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 1: him to do. Just make a handful of good plays

354
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 1: in the passing game and then let that schemed running

355
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 1: game that has always worked under Shanahan do its thing

356
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,680
Speaker 1: and get the ball in the hands at Kittle and McCaffrey. Yeah,

357
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,640
Speaker 1: what he's doing it really well. And you can call

358
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 1: it whatever your game manager. I don't know what he's

359
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 1: playing better than that, but what he's doing is, like

360
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 1: Robert Sala said about Mike White. He's making the easy

361
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:49,639
Speaker 1: stuff look easy. He's executing at a high level, and

362
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 1: every once in a while, maybe less than a handful

363
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 1: of times a game, he does something, whether it's running

364
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 1: for a first down or whatever, does something really sharp

365
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 1: with the football and gives it. But he does give

366
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 1: his team a chance to win um and he's good

367
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 1: enough to do something when they need him to. But

368
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 1: they're so good that it's not ever where he's got

369
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 1: to carry him on his back at all. No question

370
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,640
Speaker 1: about their running game is phenomenal. Their offensive line, defensive line,

371
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 1: all that Brock Purdy is and I think you know

372
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 1: it's really it's this just in coaching matters. Oh yeah,

373
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 1: they are handling him perfect. They know what he can do.

374
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,200
Speaker 1: They've got a system that's built for a quarterback like

375
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:35,360
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo. Purdy's playing better than Garoppolo did at any point.

376
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:37,199
Speaker 1: In my opinion, I would think he has over the

377
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks, and that a lot of healthy

378
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:45,679
Speaker 1: spectacular it's just steady play avoiding mistakes. And here's the

379
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,160
Speaker 1: thing that crew in San Franz. What I know about

380
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,880
Speaker 1: about Purdy is that if there's an open guy, he's

381
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 1: he's he finds him. He never look he's not never

382
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 1: looking the wrong way. He never misses a guy that's

383
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 1: running wide. I'm not he does, I'm sure because there's

384
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 1: always guys who do that. But if there's a guy

385
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,119
Speaker 1: that's open, it seems like, man, he finds him, and

386
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 1: if not, he just hey, gets it down to Christian

387
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 1: McCaffrey's not a bad option, you know. And you know

388
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,400
Speaker 1: there's people and we go through this every week in

389
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: almost every matchup. When a team comes out and plays

390
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:18,359
Speaker 1: against a good opponent like see like the Niners did

391
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 1: last night against the Seahawks, you know, all of a sudden,

392
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 1: people are going, you know what, we might look at

393
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:26,440
Speaker 1: a rookie, last guy picked in the draft winning the

394
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 1: super Bowl. I mean they're already talking like that, you know,

395
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 1: like these guys are gonna win the super Bowl because

396
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 1: they're such a complete team. And yeah, okay, that's how

397
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 1: good they're looking right now. So it's a week to

398
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 1: week league, folks, And this week started out it belongs

399
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:42,879
Speaker 1: to the Niners. The only other quick no, we have

400
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 1: to get to concerns the AFC East, and Mike White

401
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 1: is not going to start for the Jets this weekend

402
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:56,159
Speaker 1: against the Lions. White is not being cleared by the

403
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 1: medical staff for contact and because of that, he cannot

404
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 1: play lay on Sunday. Zach Wilson is back in the

405
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 1: starting lineup at quarterback for the Jets. Now Mike White

406
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 1: has only been listed as having bruised ribs, medical staff

407
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 1: won't clear him. He has practiced this week on a

408
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:18,200
Speaker 1: limited basis, but it's gonna be Zach Wilson on Sunday

409
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 1: and Robert Sala, the head coach of the Jets, Steve

410
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:23,439
Speaker 1: said they may not even have Mike White back in

411
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 1: time for their Thursday night game next week against the Jaguars. Okay,

412
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 1: I get it. He got hit and he got whacked

413
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:34,159
Speaker 1: and he took some shots. Here's the problem I have

414
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 1: with the whole thing and the way is handled in

415
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 1: the week three game two, gets out and was wobbling.

416
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:43,479
Speaker 1: When he gets up and fakes it and tells him

417
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:45,399
Speaker 1: he's not concussed. When the next week he's out and

418
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 1: now he's out for three games. That happens. Then the

419
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 1: Jets come in here and unless Mike White got hit

420
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:55,199
Speaker 1: in the tunnel after the game, some medical staff for

421
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:56,919
Speaker 1: the Jets said No, he's good to play. Give him

422
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 1: a shot, get him back out there. Now they're saying, no,

423
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:01,399
Speaker 1: he can't clear for Connor. Why can't he take a

424
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:03,239
Speaker 1: shot and go out and play. When you let him

425
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 1: play in the second half or the third quarter or

426
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,440
Speaker 1: fourth quarter of the Bills game, I mean, what's the difference? Now?

427
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 1: Did he get worse? Did he get worse? I don't

428
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 1: know how he got worse if he's practicing, they let

429
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 1: him play. Yeah, what changed? What changed? He's not getting better,

430
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 1: He's getting worse. Now. You know they got they got

431
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 1: an X ray machine in the building. I don't know

432
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 1: what you know. Yeah, so yeah, there you go. So

433
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 1: this is and this is in for Zach Wilson. You

434
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:38,879
Speaker 1: don't show up and show out and play well against

435
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,719
Speaker 1: the Lions. I think his time is done with the Jets.

436
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,200
Speaker 1: The Jets season is hanging in the balance this week

437
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 1: at seven and what are they? Seven and six? There's

438
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 1: they are hold on? I got you. The Jets are

439
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:56,440
Speaker 1: seven and six, seven and six, Their seasons hanging in

440
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:58,440
Speaker 1: the balance. Here, you don't win this game. You're seven

441
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 1: and seven. You got too many people leap frogging you.

442
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 1: Now here's the thing. He does Brownie. Here's where I sit.

443
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 1: The worst possible outcome for the New York Jets in

444
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:12,440
Speaker 1: this game is for Zach Wilson to play well. Why

445
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 1: because it just muddies the waters because he he's and

446
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 1: if he doesn't play well, you know you're done. You

447
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,679
Speaker 1: wipe your hands up at this point, He's he's not

448
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:24,920
Speaker 1: the guy from from my million miles away. In my opinion,

449
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 1: that is not the guy. Mike White is a better

450
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 1: option for them. If it's he's a better option right now,

451
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:33,640
Speaker 1: He's a better option going forward to Zach Wilson. That's

452
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 1: the worst possible scenario if he comes in. How about this?

453
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 1: He lights it up in a loss, He's not lighting,

454
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I am feeling better about my

455
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 1: Lions pick this week, though, you're that's just luck. Come on, man,

456
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:52,160
Speaker 1: they can't take I don't have good credit for that,

457
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:55,119
Speaker 1: getting any credit for that. But I think it's the

458
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:58,199
Speaker 1: worst possible scenario for Mike for Zach Wilson to come

459
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 1: in and play well. Yeah, I hear you, or at

494
00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,359
Speaker 1: a snow game for Buffalo, is there one that comes

495
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 1: to mind for you when you played it, Like, immediately,

496
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 1: give me a snow game that comes to mind immediately

497
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:06,679
Speaker 1: for you from your playing career. Is there one that

498
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 1: pops into your head that you get think. I would

499
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 1: probably think my rookie year against Miami, that's crazy against Miami. Yeah, um,

500
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:16,119
Speaker 1: two thousand and eleven, eleven, I believe it was, but

501
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 1: it wasn't really like a crazy snow game like y'all

502
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:21,919
Speaker 1: had against Indie. I think it wasn't a cumulat you

503
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 1: can see like the snow come down. That was like

504
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,360
Speaker 1: the only real snow snow game I had. But when

505
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 1: I hear it like snow is coming, I think of

506
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 1: instantly the snow member storm that I was a part

507
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 1: of twenty sixteen. Yeah, we had to go to Detroit. Yeah,

508
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 1: that's the first thing came up to um popped in

509
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 1: my mind. I saw on my Twitter people show me

510
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 1: their driveways and what it looked like outside, and I

511
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 1: was like, man, I remember that when the snow was

512
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 1: halfway up my my driveaway in my garage, and how

513
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 1: did you get to I know, Scott Chandler came out

514
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 1: of snowmobile, how did you get here? I got picked

515
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:55,479
Speaker 1: to get out, you know, to get out to the ear.

516
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 1: I got picked up. I wasn't in the snowmobile, but

517
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 1: they hadn't just plowed our streets, so I was able

518
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 1: to unfortunately go on a normal car. I wish I

519
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 1: had a cool story to say I got snowmobile, but no,

520
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 1: I just went to right. I told I was having

521
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 1: the ran the conversation for a couple of days when

522
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 1: it was first here on it's going to be a

523
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 1: cruddy day? Should I get rid of my tickets to

524
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 1: stay and watch the game. But as it gets closer

525
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 1: and it gets worse and worse, this is a game

526
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 1: you kind of gotta go to, right If you're a fan,

527
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 1: you know you gotta beat. If you're a true Bills fan,

528
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 1: a trill Bills Mafia member, you want to go to

529
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 1: the worst games. You want to go to, like the

530
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 1: Snowstorm games, because those are the best games possible. Me.

531
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 1: That's just there's more stories coming. They're way more stories.

532
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 1: And and you know, as a player, we love to

533
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I know it sounds weird, but I love

534
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 1: planning in the snow and stuff. Just it's it's it's

535
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 1: in our territory or in our backyard, so you advantage.

536
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 1: It's almost a padge of honor, I think for Bills

537
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 1: fans just to say hey, I was there, I was

538
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 1: at that game. I stood out in that for three

539
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 1: and a half hours and wash that thing. Uh and

540
00:29:55,680 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 1: it was awesome, every last minute of it. Um what um?

541
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 1: What do you make of this Bill's team? And the

542
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 1: way they have kind of kept on keeping on with

543
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 1: all the injuries they have had this year. I realized

544
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 1: every team as injuries. Nobody's gonna feel sorry for the Bills. Um,

545
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 1: But now they're finally getting a little bit healthier here,

546
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 1: particularly on the defensive side of the ball. Just weathering

547
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 1: that storm through the course of the season and still

548
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 1: winning football games. I mean, honestly, can we just give

549
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 1: a round applause for for our GM money being like

550
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 1: he's done a great job. He's allowed this team to

551
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 1: not only be the strength as the starters, but the

552
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 1: backups and the backup backups, Like we are a real

553
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 1: deep roster. A lot of the guys we know when

554
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 1: we had high go down, Um, those guys like it's

555
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 1: like we didn't miss a beat there. They came in,

556
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 1: they made an Impactum. And for a for a team

557
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 1: to have a great team, you must have starters and

558
00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 1: really good backups because in this game, you are, injuries

559
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 1: are gonna happen. As far this game, it's about, you know,

560
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 1: the guy, the guy that's name being called, how can

561
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 1: he feel in that spot? And I haven't, I mean,

562
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 1: unless I'm wrong, I haven't felt like the guys that

563
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 1: are non starters that came in that they've missed it beat.

564
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 1: I feel like they on the flow making plays. Our

565
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 1: record speaks for itself. I mean, he should be better,

566
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 1: honestly in my opinion. But these guys are doing their

567
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 1: like their jobs like they are working hard, and it's

568
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 1: hard to be a backup because you're not getting them

569
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 1: many reps in practice like the starters do. So for

570
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 1: them to come in and make an impact that they have,

571
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 1: I'm i pressed honestly because it's hard to have a

572
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:43,480
Speaker 1: backup compensate from your starter, and a lot of really

573
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 1: good teams have those. So I'm you know, shout outs

574
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 1: some money being no question, and it's been. The Bills

575
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 1: were the super Bowl favorite coming in. They were big favorite.

576
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 1: People were loving what the Bills had done. Didn't know

577
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 1: how it was going to turn out, but still you know,

578
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 1: before that opening Thursday night game in LA, this was

579
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 1: the team that people are gonna be chasing. They you know,

580
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 1: they you know, the tough game to end of the

581
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:06,560
Speaker 1: season last year in Kansas City, two years in a row. Uh,

582
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 1: just missing out on the on the one seed a

583
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 1: year ago. So now you know, deep into it, it

584
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 1: has been proven to be true. They have had the

585
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 1: most difficult schedule of anybody in the league, and they've

586
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 1: been really more injured than they've been over the past

587
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 1: three years even combined, probably, and they're still the one

588
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 1: seed coming into week fifteen of the season. What do

589
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 1: you think is important now for the mindset of the

590
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:33,480
Speaker 1: players and the coaches, certainly they got to want to

591
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 1: win every game starting with this win and all that.

592
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 1: What do you think is important keeping it between the

593
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 1: lines and just staying focused and all that. What's what?

594
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 1: What's you know? Give us a menu of things that

595
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 1: you got to do. Don't change anything? Oh yeah, yeah,

596
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 1: Like don't fix what's not broken. You know what I'm saying, Um,

597
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 1: one step at a time, like literally one day at

598
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 1: a time. I understand where we're ten and three, going

599
00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 1: going into a week fourteen, now fifteen, and you have

600
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 1: to still continue to take it one day at a time.

601
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 1: You can't look forward, you know. You look forward. That's

602
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 1: how we that's how we getting those miscues and during

603
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 1: the game. So we gotta handle Miami and then once

604
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 1: we handle Miami, get ready for the next week and

605
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 1: then move on from there. But we have to fix

606
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 1: we have to just stay focused on what we have

607
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 1: in front of us and not ahead of us, because

608
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 1: that's how we that's how that's how really good teams,

609
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:28,240
Speaker 1: you know, start losing the last two games of the

610
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 1: season and missing out on a home birth bye week,

611
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:33,960
Speaker 1: on a playoff. We have to stay focused on Miami.

612
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:37,959
Speaker 1: Let's let's handle our payback because we didn't show up

613
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 1: the first time we played them, so right, we gotta

614
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 1: stay focusing. Yeah, what's your speaking of Miami, what's kind

615
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 1: of your your take on those guys. I mean, they

616
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:47,960
Speaker 1: were high flying on a five to six game winning streak.

617
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 1: They've come back down to earth here these last two weeks.

618
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 1: San Fran handle them. They got the number one defensive

619
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 1: football that's not terribly surprising, But then the Chargers kind

620
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 1: of flip the scrip on them. Defensively. They're playing press

621
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 1: man on first and second day out of playing zone

622
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 1: on third down. That's like the opposite of what most

623
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 1: normal teams do. They dropped. They're dropping a middle linebacker

624
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 1: into a single high safety look and bringing the safeties

625
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:11,239
Speaker 1: up in the middle of the field. It was they

626
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 1: had two all sorts of cross stuff last week. I'm

627
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:16,359
Speaker 1: not gonna lie though Miami has definitely surprised me this year.

628
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 1: I didn't expect him to have the success that they're

629
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:23,400
Speaker 1: having this year, but Two was willing, and Dylan, especially

630
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 1: after his injury. I'll say this too, I give credit

631
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:28,600
Speaker 1: a lot of credit to Mike McDaniel, how he schemed

632
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 1: it up, schemed it up and captured the emotion of

633
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:34,720
Speaker 1: the locker room to get it pointed in the right direction,

634
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 1: because there was some turmoil it seemed in Miami about

635
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 1: you know, was two gonna be good enough? Was he

636
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 1: good enough? And McDaniel handled it really well, So that's,

637
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 1: you know, you gotta give him credit. They have. He

638
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:50,880
Speaker 1: has promoted a culture in their building that has allowed

639
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 1: at least their quarterback to really thrive. And a lot

640
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:55,760
Speaker 1: of people twelve months ago didn't think that would happen

641
00:34:55,800 --> 00:35:00,439
Speaker 1: for sure, And you know, playing against Miami, I haven't

642
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:02,799
Speaker 1: really seen the culture the way it is as far

643
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 1: as like in the Miami locker room, the way it

644
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 1: is for them now. Yeah, the their confidence is through

645
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:11,480
Speaker 1: the roof. Um. I'm not saying before they weren't, but

646
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 1: it's just you can tell us a totally different energy,

647
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 1: totally different five from or they thought they were going

648
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:18,919
Speaker 1: to be last year till they're at now. So coach, Yeah,

649
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 1: that coach is doing a heck of a job out there.

650
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:24,319
Speaker 1: Let's go back to week three briefly, it's about one

651
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:27,239
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty degrees on the field. You've played early

652
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:30,000
Speaker 1: season games down there before. I know, you're a Texas boy,

653
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 1: so you're used to heat. I mean, what do you

654
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:33,839
Speaker 1: got like fifty sixty days of one hundred down there

655
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:37,400
Speaker 1: every year? That's insane, um. But the Bills come in

656
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:40,320
Speaker 1: shorthanded with a ton of injuries. They got two rookies

657
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:43,279
Speaker 1: start in a corner, you know, in Benford and Elam,

658
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:48,440
Speaker 1: and they got Jaquan Johnson and Damar Hamlin starting in

659
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 1: the in the at safety. I mean, you basically have

660
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 1: Tarren Johnson and all backups you know, in their nickel package,

661
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 1: and they held it down. I mean, Tyreek only has

662
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:02,799
Speaker 1: two catches for thirty three yards. Waddle kind of had

663
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:04,839
Speaker 1: a couple of big plays, including one that was key

664
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:08,400
Speaker 1: for the go ahead score. And they're dropping like flies

665
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 1: the whole game because they got to sit in the sun,

666
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:12,759
Speaker 1: as you know, and the Dolphins are sitting over there

667
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:15,480
Speaker 1: in the shade. Yeah, I mean the team literally had

668
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:17,680
Speaker 1: to try to beat the Dolphins and the heat in

669
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 1: the same game. What do you what do you remember

670
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:24,319
Speaker 1: about early season Miami games and had it been an

671
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:26,840
Speaker 1: issue before because we had guys throwing up at halftime,

672
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 1: getting ivs and all that stuff. I mean, it's definitely

673
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:33,239
Speaker 1: totally different. Um, when you know, while we're in training camp,

674
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:35,719
Speaker 1: I think the highest in training camp maybe eighty nine,

675
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 1: maybe eighty five yea. So dealing with that for as

676
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 1: meaning weeks as it is leaning up to going to

677
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:44,880
Speaker 1: Miami and then playing in one hundred and five degree

678
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 1: it's it's a total difference, especially if you're not hydrated. Um,

679
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 1: they heat death. I mean, if y'all noticed the way

680
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:55,680
Speaker 1: the stadium is set up, they make it to where

681
00:36:55,719 --> 00:37:01,479
Speaker 1: the sun is pointing sidelines. So having that sun beam

682
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:05,319
Speaker 1: on you like that, it does. Yeah, even when you're

683
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:07,440
Speaker 1: sitting down, it definitely takes a toll on you. But

684
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:12,160
Speaker 1: it's one hundred and five degree weather. I mean, it's

685
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:14,839
Speaker 1: just I when I was in training cap, I used

686
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:17,360
Speaker 1: to wear hoodie over my paths and put a hoodie

687
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 1: on my on my helmet just so I can get

688
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:21,240
Speaker 1: acclimated to the heat. Even though I am from Texas.

689
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:24,440
Speaker 1: I live in Buffalo, and the Buffalo doesn't have that

690
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 1: same heat index as Texas does, so you kind of

691
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 1: get used to that normal heat Buffalo weather. Talking to

692
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:31,319
Speaker 1: a lot of the players this week, they said the

693
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 1: biggest problem week three was the dang humidity because it

694
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 1: was like one hundred and five degrees but on the field,

695
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 1: but it was like eighty eight percent hidy, and it

696
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 1: just sucks. It literally sucks the hydration out of your body,

697
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 1: especially when you're tired. You can't You're not feel like

698
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 1: you're getting that fresh air when you're trying to breathe.

699
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 1: So like when you run let's just say a fade

700
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:50,799
Speaker 1: route and you got to come back, You're trying to

701
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 1: get that air, but all you feel like good. It's

702
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:59,000
Speaker 1: not good air. It's straight heat, humidity, sweat everything, and

703
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 1: you just you feel like you're not getting that grasp

704
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:04,279
Speaker 1: or that you need. Yeah. Yeah, I you know, I

705
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 1: played down there as well back you know, the eighties

706
00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:08,719
Speaker 1: and nineties, and and I was saying before the game,

707
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 1: they said, Wow, it's really gonna be hot, and I

708
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:12,719
Speaker 1: was like, I don't know. We'd go down there even

709
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:14,759
Speaker 1: in early in the in the season We played down

710
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 1: there opening day one time in nineteen eighty nine, and

711
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:19,640
Speaker 1: then you go down late in the season whenever. I

712
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:24,720
Speaker 1: never had a game down there like that, and I played,

713
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 1: I was there, I was with the team a whole decade,

714
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:29,960
Speaker 1: eleven years. We never had a game like that. So

715
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:35,439
Speaker 1: that that type of atmosphere is as rare there as

716
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:38,240
Speaker 1: this atmosphere. Yer is going to be up here because

717
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:40,719
Speaker 1: we you know, we'll get bad weather, but you know,

718
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:44,600
Speaker 1: put us no no, so bad weather here would be

719
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:46,960
Speaker 1: like six feet us. Now that's bad. People used to say, hey,

720
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:48,360
Speaker 1: what are you gonna do in the heat in Miami.

721
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 1: We used to get off the plane and soak it

722
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:53,240
Speaker 1: up like a spide man. It's great. I mean we're practicing,

723
00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:56,239
Speaker 1: like you say in hoodies and park asn't. But you

724
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:58,240
Speaker 1: get down there and you get off the plane, it's like, wow,

725
00:38:58,320 --> 00:38:59,920
Speaker 1: it hits you as soon as you get off that plan.

726
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:03,600
Speaker 1: You feel the humidity. Yeah. I said the same thing

727
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:05,880
Speaker 1: about them getting off the plane here today. Oh yeah,

728
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:09,799
Speaker 1: they're definitely gonna feel that. That scan gonna come off

729
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 1: that bone. I'm telling you that when that when that

730
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 1: wind comes in, that wind chill, it was I kind

731
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:18,839
Speaker 1: of poo pooed the heat thing in the run up

732
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 1: to that Week three game. But I was I was

733
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:23,440
Speaker 1: proven completely because I never get done it. I've been

734
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:25,399
Speaker 1: there a year, ten years, we never had a game

735
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, that was a bad game. Yeah that

736
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:29,360
Speaker 1: was a really rough all right. So tell us Aaron,

737
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:31,600
Speaker 1: because Bills fans always want to know, like what do

738
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:34,279
Speaker 1: you what are you up to? And you know you're

739
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:37,480
Speaker 1: back home in Texas and kind of just doing your thing. Yeah,

740
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:40,839
Speaker 1: I mean, um, I'm doing I wasn't able to do beforehand.

741
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:43,759
Speaker 1: I'm I'm traveling a lot. I just got back from

742
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 1: Columbia a few weeks ago. Oh cool. Um mentoring high

743
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:53,000
Speaker 1: school college and some professional athletes. Um uh, developing uh

744
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:56,719
Speaker 1: app slash website with my with my dad, helping high

745
00:39:56,719 --> 00:40:01,680
Speaker 1: school athletes get a chance to get scholarships. Um. And

746
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:04,279
Speaker 1: we all know that five four stars get all the

747
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:06,799
Speaker 1: progod city and stuff. So we're trying to get those

748
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:10,960
Speaker 1: kids who are dark horses, those two three one stars

749
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:15,719
Speaker 1: that are really really good athletes but don't have the

750
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:18,839
Speaker 1: tension around them that others do. Um. So doing that

751
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:22,440
Speaker 1: real estate, just trying to keep busy. It's this whole

752
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:25,440
Speaker 1: this whole retired life is different. I have a lot

753
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:27,239
Speaker 1: of time on my hands and I don't have a

754
00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:30,319
Speaker 1: set schedule, so every day is something's new. Um. But

755
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 1: I'm enjoying it. I'm loving it. I have no complaints

756
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:36,160
Speaker 1: about it. What's your whole family's down there? Right? Everybody

757
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:40,279
Speaker 1: I tell people, they when I retired from the league,

758
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:42,840
Speaker 1: they always say, wow, what do you think about retirement?

759
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:46,000
Speaker 1: How's it going? Yeah? I recommend it. Yeah, absolutely. I

760
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:49,400
Speaker 1: wake up and just be like, Hey, what do I

761
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:52,040
Speaker 1: want to do today? It's it's awesome at the same time,

762
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:54,840
Speaker 1: it's it's it's a yin and yang. Um. It gets

763
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:56,880
Speaker 1: old after a while. Yeah, you gotta have something. You

764
00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:58,960
Speaker 1: gotta have something to do after a while, waking up

765
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:00,799
Speaker 1: and not knowing what to do, it's old and boring

766
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:02,680
Speaker 1: and you don't you feel confused and you don't know

767
00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:04,320
Speaker 1: what's going on. So well, it's good. You got a

768
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:06,720
Speaker 1: lot of irons into fire. That's good. Man, for your

769
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:09,360
Speaker 1: luck with all of that. And if you're going to

770
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:11,680
Speaker 1: the game, be on the lookout for this guy. Come

771
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:14,239
Speaker 1: say what's up? Number twenty three? Yeah, you know it's

772
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:15,759
Speaker 1: crazy as a lot of people. When I go to

773
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:17,440
Speaker 1: the games, a lot of people will stare at me.

774
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 1: They'll be like, and then I'll look at them. Yeah,

775
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:23,839
Speaker 1: you guys, come, I'm a human being. Well, I think

776
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:26,520
Speaker 1: I think that you find that in Buffalo, like me

777
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:29,120
Speaker 1: being from the New York metropolitan area, people are not

778
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 1: shot down there. They're now bum rush a professional athlete

779
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:34,160
Speaker 1: in a second and not even think about it. Here.

780
00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 1: I tend to think the Buffalonians are a little bit

781
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:38,640
Speaker 1: more respectful of your personal space. You know, they know

782
00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:40,799
Speaker 1: you're a busy person, they know you're probably approached a lot,

783
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:43,560
Speaker 1: and so I think there's this respectful distance that fans keep.

784
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 1: But I love that Aaron's inviting it. I love the respect.

785
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:49,799
Speaker 1: Come say us up, see him, come say hi. Pop

786
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:53,319
Speaker 1: the game. Yea. So it's like you expect to be

787
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:55,920
Speaker 1: able to approach. Yeah, you shight up forward. It's fun

788
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:58,160
Speaker 1: and it'll be great. And by the way, um, you're

789
00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:00,399
Speaker 1: gonna beat the Buffalo store again. We're gonna yeah, I'm

791
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:05,399
Speaker 1: I love that was there last show out of side

792
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:07,319
Speaker 1: that has quickly become one of my favorite aside from

793
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:09,319
Speaker 1: the store here on the property where actually I get

794
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:13,719
Speaker 1: an employee discount. The Buffalo store is awesome. It is

795
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:15,760
Speaker 1: there's a lot of I love this. I get stuff

796
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:17,400
Speaker 1: that you never get to see any place else. Is

797
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:20,040
Speaker 1: pretty cool. So Aaron will be at the Bflo Store

879
00:46:57,160 --> 00:47:00,440
Speaker 1: in traffic. So you may as well just you may

880
00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:03,400
Speaker 1: as well fire the grill up again and eat before

881
00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:07,600
Speaker 1: you leave. Yep, those the lots across the way on

882
00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:09,560
Speaker 1: twenty A, and I'm sure some of the other lots

883
00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:12,080
Speaker 1: you know, the neighborhood lots down twenty A between two

884
00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:15,680
Speaker 1: nineteen and the stadium and Abbott. You're not going anywhere,

885
00:47:16,040 --> 00:47:18,080
Speaker 1: coach heeha. In case you didn't know what that was,

886
00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:21,399
Speaker 1: it's just saying it, right, I am, I know you're

887
00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:27,120
Speaker 1: you're is. It is an aged Mexican cheese apparently, okay

888
00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:30,920
Speaker 1: from Brandt. I'm doing a flank steak with chimmy churry

889
00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:34,800
Speaker 1: and her potatoes fried on the flat top. Also a mudlotter.

890
00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:36,680
Speaker 1: I'm planning on walking around and meeting a lot of

891
00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:41,120
Speaker 1: Bills Mafia this Saturday. That's fun too, how do you well.

892
00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:43,960
Speaker 1: I like doing that because people introduce themselves to me

893
00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:46,960
Speaker 1: like we had Aaron Williams on. People don't hesitate to

894
00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:48,600
Speaker 1: come up and talk to me. I love that. I'm

895
00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:50,600
Speaker 1: all about it. I love meeting everybody. I love saying

896
00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:52,640
Speaker 1: hid everybody. It's a it's a for me. It's a

897
00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:54,440
Speaker 1: fun part of the game. I think flank steak is

898
00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:57,640
Speaker 1: a smart steak to bring to a cold weather tailgate.

899
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:00,200
Speaker 1: Doesn't because it doesn't take long to cook it right,

900
00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:03,400
Speaker 1: you know that makes sense? That thing. You can flip

901
00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:05,680
Speaker 1: it over once and it's done in like eight to

902
00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:09,279
Speaker 1: ten minutes, provided your your flat top grills heat it

903
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:13,440
Speaker 1: up properly. Right. Finally, Mark on the tailgate Friday tweet sheet,

904
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:19,680
Speaker 1: meat ball bombers and martinis. Let's go, let's go. I

905
00:48:19,719 --> 00:48:23,879
Speaker 1: am all about I love that combination. The only way

906
00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:25,400
Speaker 1: that could be better is if he said I got

907
00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:27,720
Speaker 1: little tiny meatballs that I put in the martini instead

908
00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:32,120
Speaker 1: of olives. Let's go. I'm not putting meat in my drink. Yea,

909
00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:35,040
Speaker 1: there are there are lines. We do it as the

929
00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:22,120
Speaker 1: are you guys doing getting ready for snow? Huh oh yeah.

930
00:50:22,200 --> 00:50:24,279
Speaker 1: We're telling everybody coming to the game they better put

931
00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:25,719
Speaker 1: a shovel in the trunk of their car if they

932
00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:30,040
Speaker 1: want to get out of here afterwards, they may need it. Yeah, well,

933
00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:32,920
Speaker 1: you guys deal with that. You know, I live obviously

934
00:50:32,960 --> 00:50:35,279
Speaker 1: outside of Philadelphia, and I'm not a big snow fan.

935
00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:39,000
Speaker 1: You know, never was did a lot of snow. I

936
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:41,239
Speaker 1: guess I wouldn't go overwell in Buffalo. Did you Did

937
00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:43,279
Speaker 1: you hear how Greg said that, Well, you guys deal

938
00:50:43,320 --> 00:50:45,040
Speaker 1: with that. Did you hear that? Did you hit the

939
00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:50,400
Speaker 1: disdain for the snow? Oh my gosh. It's the unwillingness

940
00:50:50,400 --> 00:50:52,560
Speaker 1: to put your arms around it and embrace it is

941
00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:57,040
Speaker 1: what's the troubling. I'm very aware of my unwillingness doing

942
00:50:59,280 --> 00:51:02,000
Speaker 1: I have very good self awareness about that. All right, Well,

943
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:04,360
Speaker 1: let be let's begin here Greg, because there has been

944
00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:08,200
Speaker 1: a lot of talk about this this week. People are

945
00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:11,439
Speaker 1: wondering if if Tua and this offense has turned into

946
00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:16,360
Speaker 1: a pumpkin the last two weeks, San Francisco goes with

947
00:51:16,480 --> 00:51:19,000
Speaker 1: a much different approach than the Chargers go with the

948
00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:22,840
Speaker 1: last two weeks, both are equally effective against that Dolphins offense.

949
00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:27,560
Speaker 1: To it, it looked supremely crossed up last Sunday night,

950
00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:30,880
Speaker 1: as I think I might have been more impressed with

951
00:51:30,960 --> 00:51:36,240
Speaker 1: Brandon Staley's game plan than San Francisco's because Damiko Ryan's

952
00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:39,560
Speaker 1: has oodles of talent to work with Brandon Staley not

953
00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:42,480
Speaker 1: so much. Last week for the Chargers. He goes and

954
00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:47,080
Speaker 1: plays press man on early downs and goes and backs

955
00:51:47,120 --> 00:51:50,279
Speaker 1: off on third downs, and then he even switched it

956
00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:51,839
Speaker 1: in the second half. We can get into the whole

957
00:51:51,840 --> 00:51:55,640
Speaker 1: plan in a second, But Leslie Frazier's got a lot

958
00:51:55,680 --> 00:51:58,040
Speaker 1: to pick from on the menu. Obviously, he's gonna do

959
00:51:58,120 --> 00:52:01,399
Speaker 1: what he feels his unit can do best, but there

960
00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:03,399
Speaker 1: are little bits and pieces he can take from each

961
00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:05,759
Speaker 1: of these two game plans and utilize from time to

962
00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:09,840
Speaker 1: time on Saturday Night. Canny, Yeah, look, I think that

963
00:52:09,920 --> 00:52:13,239
Speaker 1: with Brandon still he did, and I know Brandon still

964
00:52:13,360 --> 00:52:16,479
Speaker 1: a little bit, and he is a very aggressive mindset guy,

965
00:52:16,960 --> 00:52:20,360
Speaker 1: and he's you know, it took a lot to decide

966
00:52:20,520 --> 00:52:23,399
Speaker 1: to go that route, because, like you said, Brownie, they

967
00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:26,160
Speaker 1: played press man, and then they also played a good

968
00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:29,279
Speaker 1: amount of Cover two where you can press the receivers

969
00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:32,879
Speaker 1: because you have two safeties over the top, and no

970
00:52:32,960 --> 00:52:36,840
Speaker 1: team had really done that with the amount that the

971
00:52:36,920 --> 00:52:40,680
Speaker 1: Chargers did, that was really their game plan. And you know,

972
00:52:40,680 --> 00:52:43,760
Speaker 1: he pretty much said that, Hey, if you can't disrupt Tuah,

973
00:52:43,840 --> 00:52:48,000
Speaker 1: because their offense is built on quick rhythm, quick timing throws,

974
00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:51,520
Speaker 1: particularly in normal down and distant situations. If you can't

975
00:52:51,560 --> 00:52:54,200
Speaker 1: get to Tuah, then who else do you have to

976
00:52:54,239 --> 00:52:56,920
Speaker 1: disrupt the receivers? It's one or the other, and you're

977
00:52:56,960 --> 00:52:59,840
Speaker 1: not going to disrupt Tuah. So let's disrupt the receiver.

978
00:53:00,280 --> 00:53:02,279
Speaker 1: And he did it. He was only burned one time

979
00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:05,240
Speaker 1: on the sixty yard touchdown when Mike Davis fell down.

980
00:53:05,840 --> 00:53:09,160
Speaker 1: The other thing that was really interesting is they play

981
00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:12,920
Speaker 1: boundary corner and field corner in Los Angeles the Chargers,

982
00:53:13,160 --> 00:53:16,279
Speaker 1: and Mike Davis is the boundary corner. There were snaps

983
00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:19,319
Speaker 1: guys in that game where they literally had Davis play

984
00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:22,880
Speaker 1: zero man on hill and they would bring the boundary

985
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:26,040
Speaker 1: safety into the middle of the field to close down windows.

986
00:53:26,400 --> 00:53:30,759
Speaker 1: So he took a super aggressive approach. I'm not a

987
00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:33,399
Speaker 1: big blueprint guy. I think you nailed at Brownie when

988
00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:36,920
Speaker 1: you said other teams might take bits and pieces, you know,

989
00:53:37,239 --> 00:53:40,440
Speaker 1: because I just don't think like I don't think the

990
00:53:40,520 --> 00:53:44,319
Speaker 1: Bills would echo that exact approach. That's not the way

991
00:53:44,360 --> 00:53:46,560
Speaker 1: they play. And I think the other fact that we

992
00:53:46,600 --> 00:53:47,960
Speaker 1: do have to keep in mind. And it might not

993
00:53:48,040 --> 00:53:51,880
Speaker 1: play out tomorrow night because weather will obviously be a factor.

994
00:53:52,040 --> 00:53:55,279
Speaker 1: But assuming a normal fast track. You know, Mike McDaniel,

995
00:53:55,320 --> 00:53:57,880
Speaker 1: who I know as well, he's not an idiot. You know,

996
00:53:57,920 --> 00:54:00,320
Speaker 1: they're gonna have some adjustments as well. It's all always.

997
00:54:00,760 --> 00:54:02,960
Speaker 1: You know, that's what the game is, right. You know,

998
00:54:03,640 --> 00:54:06,239
Speaker 1: one team does something and then it works, and then

999
00:54:06,280 --> 00:54:09,919
Speaker 1: the other side evolves and and and justus and you'll

1000
00:54:09,920 --> 00:54:13,080
Speaker 1: see that over time. Obviously, Bills fans don't care what

1001
00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:16,160
Speaker 1: the Dolphins doing three weeks. They care about tomorrow night, right,

1002
00:54:16,239 --> 00:54:19,480
Speaker 1: And what we've seen a couple of people say that

1003
00:54:19,560 --> 00:54:21,920
Speaker 1: one of the things that Dolphins have done well and

1004
00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:24,000
Speaker 1: depend on is to his ability to throw the ball

1005
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:29,560
Speaker 1: between the numbers, and the Niners were able to clog

1006
00:54:29,640 --> 00:54:32,120
Speaker 1: those lanes up by saying, if you're gonna beat it,

1007
00:54:32,200 --> 00:54:34,400
Speaker 1: you're gonna do it ten yards down the field outside

1008
00:54:34,400 --> 00:54:36,920
Speaker 1: the numbers, and to a struggle to do that. But

1009
00:54:36,960 --> 00:54:39,279
Speaker 1: there was also there seems another element, particularly in the

1010
00:54:39,360 --> 00:54:42,520
Speaker 1: Charger game and also in the San Francisco name or

1011
00:54:42,600 --> 00:54:44,680
Speaker 1: they were two A doesn't know where to go with

1012
00:54:44,719 --> 00:54:47,960
Speaker 1: the football, correct, So, because yeah, how much of each

1013
00:54:47,960 --> 00:54:52,040
Speaker 1: of those is important. A couple of points here, the

1014
00:54:52,120 --> 00:54:55,560
Speaker 1: last one. First two is extremely rhythmic. Steve and his

1015
00:54:55,640 --> 00:54:57,640
Speaker 1: whole game is built on he hits his back foot,

1016
00:54:57,719 --> 00:54:59,680
Speaker 1: he knows where to go. He's decisive. He turns it

1017
00:54:59,800 --> 00:55:03,960
Speaker 1: loose if he hits that back foot and something shows

1018
00:55:04,040 --> 00:55:06,399
Speaker 1: that tells him I can't be decisive. Hey, I can't

1019
00:55:06,400 --> 00:55:09,040
Speaker 1: throw it or I want to. He's not the same quarterback.

1020
00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:11,799
Speaker 1: He's not really a late in the down as we say,

1021
00:55:11,880 --> 00:55:15,600
Speaker 1: pocket quarterback. He needs to play rhythmically and nor does

1022
00:55:15,600 --> 00:55:17,680
Speaker 1: he have a big arm, so he can really sit

1023
00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:20,960
Speaker 1: on his back foot and wait for things to happen

1024
00:55:20,960 --> 00:55:23,560
Speaker 1: and then drive the ball at the intermediate levels. That's

1025
00:55:23,640 --> 00:55:27,360
Speaker 1: not his game. So now getting to another point, you

1026
00:55:27,400 --> 00:55:30,560
Speaker 1: made the Niners. Look, I think Fred Warner's the best

1027
00:55:30,560 --> 00:55:33,840
Speaker 1: linebacker in football. He's also six three, and Fred Warner

1028
00:55:33,960 --> 00:55:37,120
Speaker 1: is phenomenal at playing between the numbers and between the

1029
00:55:37,120 --> 00:55:40,960
Speaker 1: hashes in pass coverage. You know, so you're dealing with

1030
00:55:41,400 --> 00:55:45,040
Speaker 1: and Greenwall. Look, they have two outstanding nickel linebackers. I

1031
00:55:45,080 --> 00:55:48,200
Speaker 1: think that the Bills have two really good nickel linebackers

1032
00:55:48,200 --> 00:55:50,920
Speaker 1: as well. But Warner is a different animal than Edmunds.

1033
00:55:50,960 --> 00:55:55,320
Speaker 1: Warner has more almost more corner type skills than Edmunds.

1034
00:55:55,360 --> 00:55:58,080
Speaker 1: Warner can do those kinds of things. I don't think

1035
00:55:58,200 --> 00:56:01,120
Speaker 1: Edmonds is quite that kind of player. So the Niners

1036
00:56:01,160 --> 00:56:04,080
Speaker 1: had talent, as Brownie you said, you know, the Niners

1037
00:56:04,080 --> 00:56:08,000
Speaker 1: have really good talent, so they could almost play somewhat normal,

1038
00:56:08,360 --> 00:56:11,080
Speaker 1: whereas the Chargers kind of stepped out of the normal

1039
00:56:11,320 --> 00:56:13,719
Speaker 1: and did something that really no team had had done

1040
00:56:13,719 --> 00:56:17,200
Speaker 1: against the Dolphins. Maybe just talk to us a little bit,

1041
00:56:17,360 --> 00:56:21,799
Speaker 1: because the Chargers also kind of defeated some of that

1042
00:56:22,880 --> 00:56:27,400
Speaker 1: the missile motion that they used with Tyree Hill and

1043
00:56:27,719 --> 00:56:31,680
Speaker 1: even with Wattle at times. First, maybe just explain to

1044
00:56:31,719 --> 00:56:35,640
Speaker 1: our listening audience how missile motion might be slightly different

1045
00:56:35,680 --> 00:56:38,480
Speaker 1: from just regular motion and how it helps a fast receiver,

1046
00:56:38,920 --> 00:56:40,920
Speaker 1: and then what the Chargers did to defeat that, and

1047
00:56:40,920 --> 00:56:42,880
Speaker 1: then whether or not you think the Bills can employ

1048
00:56:42,960 --> 00:56:47,480
Speaker 1: some of that. That's something they probably could employ. So

1049
00:56:48,360 --> 00:56:50,279
Speaker 1: let's just talk about that a little bit. So one

1050
00:56:50,280 --> 00:56:52,680
Speaker 1: of the things we've seen all year long, and it's

1051
00:56:52,680 --> 00:56:55,719
Speaker 1: a really good strategy by the Dolphins. They normally do

1052
00:56:55,760 --> 00:56:58,160
Speaker 1: it with Hill, is they would take Hill from one

1053
00:56:58,200 --> 00:57:00,839
Speaker 1: side of the formation and they run him across it

1054
00:57:00,880 --> 00:57:03,640
Speaker 1: looks like initially jet motion, but then you go all

1055
00:57:03,640 --> 00:57:07,640
Speaker 1: the way across and literally to the side of waddle,

1056
00:57:07,680 --> 00:57:10,440
Speaker 1: almost as if they'd have a stack release. Okay, so

1057
00:57:10,760 --> 00:57:13,759
Speaker 1: when you do that, it is difficult to press that,

1058
00:57:14,480 --> 00:57:17,160
Speaker 1: and the stack release also makes it difficult to press,

1059
00:57:17,240 --> 00:57:20,760
Speaker 1: and therefore Hill is flying off the line of scrimmage

1060
00:57:20,760 --> 00:57:24,000
Speaker 1: because he's running, he's in motion, he's running hard across

1061
00:57:24,040 --> 00:57:27,240
Speaker 1: the formation. So what the Chargers did is they basically

1062
00:57:27,400 --> 00:57:32,080
Speaker 1: switched instead of trying to stay with the matchups and

1063
00:57:32,160 --> 00:57:35,240
Speaker 1: have a corner run across with Hill and he's going

1064
00:57:35,240 --> 00:57:37,240
Speaker 1: to be trailing him and he's going to be off

1065
00:57:37,280 --> 00:57:39,760
Speaker 1: the ball and it's going to be difficult to defend him,

1066
00:57:39,960 --> 00:57:42,400
Speaker 1: they would just switch it up and they would then

1067
00:57:42,520 --> 00:57:46,400
Speaker 1: match it. And you know, it didn't show right away

1068
00:57:46,440 --> 00:57:49,240
Speaker 1: to Tua as a clean throw. And that's just what

1069
00:57:49,240 --> 00:57:51,040
Speaker 1: we were talking about, is that if he can't hit

1070
00:57:51,080 --> 00:57:54,480
Speaker 1: that back foot and make a clean throw, it's more

1071
00:57:54,480 --> 00:57:58,120
Speaker 1: difficult for him. So that's the missile motion that they used.

1072
00:57:58,160 --> 00:58:00,600
Speaker 1: They've had really good success with it. I did a

1073
00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:02,960
Speaker 1: piece on it in the Matchup show, probably week four,

1074
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:06,080
Speaker 1: week five, weeks six, somewhere earlier in the season because

1075
00:58:06,160 --> 00:58:10,720
Speaker 1: it's really hard to defend. But they chose to to switch,

1076
00:58:11,120 --> 00:58:14,880
Speaker 1: and therefore, early in the down, the first six seven

1077
00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:18,160
Speaker 1: steps by Hill and Waddle they didn't show up as

1078
00:58:18,200 --> 00:58:22,480
Speaker 1: really viable throws. And that's what happens, you know, is

1079
00:58:22,840 --> 00:58:26,680
Speaker 1: he gets caught a little bit, and that's that's what happened.

1080
00:58:26,720 --> 00:58:30,960
Speaker 1: So it seems like the key is obviously making two uncomfortable,

1081
00:58:30,960 --> 00:58:32,880
Speaker 1: which is basically the game plan for just about every

1082
00:58:32,880 --> 00:58:36,240
Speaker 1: team with the opposing quarterback every week. But do you

1083
00:58:36,280 --> 00:58:39,640
Speaker 1: think the Bills are better equipped to muddy the look

1084
00:58:39,720 --> 00:58:43,440
Speaker 1: so to speak? Knowing they have Poyer and Tredavious White

1085
00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:46,880
Speaker 1: back there, you know, two players who know how to

1086
00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:49,680
Speaker 1: disguise as veteran players, two guys they did not have

1087
00:58:49,760 --> 00:58:54,280
Speaker 1: in Week three? Correct? I mean, you know that Week

1088
00:58:54,320 --> 00:58:56,440
Speaker 1: three game was a very odd game for the defense.

1089
00:58:56,440 --> 00:58:58,600
Speaker 1: First of all, the Dolphins only ran thirty nine plays.

1090
00:58:58,840 --> 00:59:01,720
Speaker 1: But Ingram was playing in that game at corner. I

1091
00:59:01,720 --> 00:59:04,360
Speaker 1: believe both Hamilon and Johnson were the safeties in that game,

1092
00:59:04,480 --> 00:59:06,840
Speaker 1: if memory serves me, correct, Is that right, Brownie? Yeah,

1093
00:59:06,840 --> 00:59:10,080
Speaker 1: that's right. Aaron Johnson was the only regular in their

1094
00:59:10,160 --> 00:59:13,360
Speaker 1: nickel package. There you go, So, I mean this is

1095
00:59:13,400 --> 00:59:16,040
Speaker 1: a different defense right now. And obviously White's back, you know,

1096
00:59:16,080 --> 00:59:19,040
Speaker 1: being White, I mean he literally matched up to Wilson

1097
00:59:19,160 --> 00:59:21,680
Speaker 1: last week and he played every snap, so he obviously

1098
00:59:21,760 --> 00:59:24,160
Speaker 1: is ready to go. So yeah, this will be a

1099
00:59:24,160 --> 00:59:27,200
Speaker 1: totally different defense. And as you said, Brownie, they'll take

1100
00:59:27,240 --> 00:59:33,720
Speaker 1: bits and pieces situationally of what the last two teams did. Look,

1101
00:59:33,720 --> 00:59:36,280
Speaker 1: the Bills defense is pretty talented, you know. Obviously the

1102
00:59:36,360 --> 00:59:39,240
Speaker 1: Niners are real good, but the Bills defense has talent.

1103
00:59:39,320 --> 00:59:41,880
Speaker 1: It's not as if they're trying to compensate for poor talent,

1104
00:59:43,200 --> 00:59:45,640
Speaker 1: you know. So the question is, and now you're dealing

1105
00:59:45,640 --> 00:59:47,640
Speaker 1: with the weather as well, because I'm very curious to

1106
00:59:47,680 --> 00:59:51,000
Speaker 1: see Tua, who is, like we said, very rhythmic and

1107
00:59:51,080 --> 00:59:53,280
Speaker 1: does not have a big arm, how that's going to

1108
00:59:53,360 --> 00:59:55,680
Speaker 1: play out in this kind of weather. I mean, this

1109
00:59:55,720 --> 00:59:58,120
Speaker 1: could be a thirteen ten game at ten seven game

1110
00:59:58,120 --> 00:59:59,880
Speaker 1: where teams have to run the ball, and that's just

1111
01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:02,720
Speaker 1: the nature of the evening, right And we've also seen

1112
01:00:02,760 --> 01:00:04,920
Speaker 1: games where in weather like this that turned into a

1113
01:00:04,960 --> 01:00:07,360
Speaker 1: forty four thirty four game as well, because the defense

1114
01:00:07,400 --> 01:00:10,680
Speaker 1: can't stand up. And I've said this to everybody, says, well,

1115
01:00:10,720 --> 01:00:13,000
Speaker 1: when the weather's like this, this happens, and this happens.

1116
01:00:13,360 --> 01:00:15,880
Speaker 1: You don't always know that that's the case, because the

1117
01:00:15,920 --> 01:00:17,800
Speaker 1: simple fact of the matter is it could snow one

1118
01:00:17,880 --> 01:00:19,960
Speaker 1: day and this field could be as slipperies can be,

1119
01:00:20,320 --> 01:00:22,560
Speaker 1: and the next time you play it in snow, it's

1120
01:00:22,600 --> 01:00:24,560
Speaker 1: not that slippery. And teams are able to do a

1121
01:00:24,560 --> 01:00:26,240
Speaker 1: lot more things. Defenses are able to do a lot

1122
01:00:26,360 --> 01:00:29,040
Speaker 1: more things. So it really is a game by game

1123
01:00:30,120 --> 01:00:32,360
Speaker 1: take on what the weather's gonna do. The one thing

1124
01:00:32,360 --> 01:00:35,320
Speaker 1: that's always constant is the wind, and the wind could

1125
01:00:35,360 --> 01:00:38,560
Speaker 1: be a factor in this, and certainly the temperature and

1126
01:00:38,680 --> 01:00:42,600
Speaker 1: the snow are gonna be a problem for ball handling,

1127
01:00:44,040 --> 01:00:47,200
Speaker 1: but that again is an impredictable thing. Turnovers or the

1128
01:00:47,240 --> 01:00:49,600
Speaker 1: unpredictable stat that really has so much to do with

1129
01:00:49,640 --> 01:00:52,560
Speaker 1: the outcome. So when you talk about this, the Dolphins

1130
01:00:52,640 --> 01:00:56,400
Speaker 1: defense has not gotten many turnovers. They don't seem to

1131
01:00:56,440 --> 01:00:59,000
Speaker 1: be a team that although they didn't look pretty good

1132
01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:02,920
Speaker 1: against the Chargers, their defense doesn't seem to get after

1133
01:01:02,960 --> 01:01:06,240
Speaker 1: the quarterback on a consistent basis, although they have at times.

1134
01:01:06,320 --> 01:01:08,920
Speaker 1: And what's their personality defensively in a game like this

1135
01:01:09,080 --> 01:01:13,400
Speaker 1: given the weather and all that stuff, Well, it's hard

1136
01:01:13,440 --> 01:01:16,040
Speaker 1: to know. If they'll make any true tactical changes. But

1137
01:01:16,080 --> 01:01:18,320
Speaker 1: I would say that there's not a lot of mystery

1138
01:01:18,360 --> 01:01:21,040
Speaker 1: to the way the Dolphins play defense. They played a

1139
01:01:21,040 --> 01:01:23,800
Speaker 1: lot of man coverage and they pressure, and they show

1140
01:01:23,840 --> 01:01:27,320
Speaker 1: a lot of pressure front looks, So that's kind of

1141
01:01:27,360 --> 01:01:31,360
Speaker 1: their defensive profile. Now that can the degrees with which

1142
01:01:31,360 --> 01:01:34,000
Speaker 1: they do those things can certainly vary on a week

1143
01:01:34,040 --> 01:01:36,800
Speaker 1: to week basis. But as you guys know, over the

1144
01:01:36,880 --> 01:01:40,560
Speaker 1: last three years, going back to the twenty twenty season,

1145
01:01:41,560 --> 01:01:45,160
Speaker 1: for the most part, the Bills have not had a

1146
01:01:45,200 --> 01:01:48,720
Speaker 1: lot of problems attacking their man coverage. Then I think

1147
01:01:48,720 --> 01:01:50,400
Speaker 1: they switched up one game and played a lot of

1148
01:01:50,440 --> 01:01:52,200
Speaker 1: zone and the Bills didn't have a lot of problems

1149
01:01:52,200 --> 01:01:54,680
Speaker 1: with that either. So the Bills have been pretty good

1150
01:01:54,680 --> 01:01:58,040
Speaker 1: against this defense over the last three years. I mean,

1151
01:01:58,080 --> 01:02:01,080
Speaker 1: even in the game Week three where I believe Josh

1152
01:02:01,120 --> 01:02:04,240
Speaker 1: dropped back over seventy times and the Bills ran ninety plays.

1153
01:02:05,360 --> 01:02:07,440
Speaker 1: You know, they had success moving up and down the field.

1154
01:02:07,440 --> 01:02:10,400
Speaker 1: It wasn't as if they were shut down. So they've

1155
01:02:10,400 --> 01:02:12,880
Speaker 1: been able to throw the ball against this defense. And

1156
01:02:12,920 --> 01:02:15,360
Speaker 1: I know people are out. I think Eric Rowe is out.

1157
01:02:16,960 --> 01:02:20,640
Speaker 1: I think someone else is out. I mean, well, his backup,

1158
01:02:20,680 --> 01:02:25,200
Speaker 1: Elijah Campbell is also out. So the word is the

1159
01:02:25,240 --> 01:02:28,000
Speaker 1: word is they're going to start the rookie Veron McKinley

1160
01:02:28,560 --> 01:02:30,680
Speaker 1: is going to make just the second start of the season.

1161
01:02:31,760 --> 01:02:34,480
Speaker 1: Which was gonna be my next question, Greg, because when

1162
01:02:34,480 --> 01:02:38,280
Speaker 1: you have a young, inexperienced safety out there, what have

1163
01:02:38,400 --> 01:02:41,400
Speaker 1: offensive coordinators told you over the years as to how

1164
01:02:41,440 --> 01:02:44,640
Speaker 1: you might be able to take advantage of an inexperienced

1165
01:02:44,680 --> 01:02:49,720
Speaker 1: safety in coverage. Yeah, and he's been playing basically in

1166
01:02:49,760 --> 01:02:52,840
Speaker 1: their nickel excuse me, in their dying. But now if

1167
01:02:52,840 --> 01:02:56,080
Speaker 1: he starts, because obviously Holland is a really really good

1168
01:02:56,080 --> 01:02:58,800
Speaker 1: buyer and they use him as their back end safety,

1169
01:02:58,800 --> 01:03:00,919
Speaker 1: and also when they blitz, he's up at the line

1170
01:03:00,920 --> 01:03:05,760
Speaker 1: of scrimmage. You know, McKinley is an interesting guy. I

1171
01:03:06,240 --> 01:03:08,920
Speaker 1: kind of liked his tape a lot when I watched

1172
01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:12,960
Speaker 1: him coming out of Oregon. You know, I think he

1173
01:03:13,000 --> 01:03:15,760
Speaker 1: has a playmaking dimension to his game. I think you

1174
01:03:15,800 --> 01:03:19,960
Speaker 1: can get him to be aggressive. He's a very aggressive player.

1175
01:03:20,280 --> 01:03:23,080
Speaker 1: So I think you need to try to create scenarios

1176
01:03:23,120 --> 01:03:26,800
Speaker 1: Brownie where he's aggressive, and you can do that. You know,

1177
01:03:27,000 --> 01:03:32,200
Speaker 1: maybe it's double moves, maybe it's you know, maybe it's

1178
01:03:32,280 --> 01:03:34,640
Speaker 1: a certain number of receivers to one side, you know,

1179
01:03:34,680 --> 01:03:37,200
Speaker 1: it's but I think you can probably attack him. The

1180
01:03:37,280 --> 01:03:40,040
Speaker 1: question is how will they use him. Will they use

1181
01:03:40,120 --> 01:03:43,560
Speaker 1: him essentially as a box player, because when he plays

1182
01:03:43,600 --> 01:03:46,720
Speaker 1: in their dime, he's not really a box player. So,

1183
01:03:47,320 --> 01:03:49,760
Speaker 1: you know, because Holland normally, unless he's going to line

1184
01:03:49,840 --> 01:03:51,800
Speaker 1: up on the line of scrimmage and their pressure looks

1185
01:03:51,800 --> 01:03:55,920
Speaker 1: and blitz, then he's the back end safety and he's

1186
01:03:55,960 --> 01:03:59,040
Speaker 1: really good at it. So McKinley might be forced to

1187
01:03:59,080 --> 01:04:01,520
Speaker 1: play in a way in which he's not really comfortable.

1188
01:04:03,320 --> 01:04:06,479
Speaker 1: You know, I'm really curious about the Bills passing game.

1189
01:04:06,600 --> 01:04:09,200
Speaker 1: You know, look, they obviously signed Beasley for a reason.

1190
01:04:09,280 --> 01:04:11,720
Speaker 1: We don't have to interpret that they signed Beasley for

1191
01:04:11,760 --> 01:04:14,560
Speaker 1: a reason. They brought him back because obviously the passing

1192
01:04:14,560 --> 01:04:17,000
Speaker 1: game has not been over the last number of weeks

1193
01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:23,000
Speaker 1: as consistent as it was earlier in the season. And look,

1194
01:04:23,000 --> 01:04:25,960
Speaker 1: they weren't their first five series punts this week again,

1195
01:04:27,280 --> 01:04:31,000
Speaker 1: first time that's happened the season. Yeah, and I thought

1196
01:04:31,120 --> 01:04:32,840
Speaker 1: Josh was a little tentative in that game. I thought

1197
01:04:32,840 --> 01:04:35,000
Speaker 1: in the second half he started to seem a little

1198
01:04:35,040 --> 01:04:37,640
Speaker 1: more comfortable I thought, you know, the throw that told

1199
01:04:37,680 --> 01:04:39,520
Speaker 1: me he was getting more comfortable was the out route

1200
01:04:39,560 --> 01:04:41,760
Speaker 1: to Davis, which I think might have been may have

1201
01:04:41,760 --> 01:04:44,080
Speaker 1: been the first possession of the third quarter. I can't remember,

1202
01:04:44,240 --> 01:04:46,680
Speaker 1: but it was, but that was the ball where I said, Okay,

1203
01:04:46,680 --> 01:04:50,720
Speaker 1: now he's he's feeling a little more comfortable. But you know,

1204
01:04:51,360 --> 01:04:54,680
Speaker 1: this offense hasn't been as aggressive. I think, if we're

1205
01:04:54,720 --> 01:04:57,280
Speaker 1: being honest guys, and you know that's the only way,

1206
01:04:57,320 --> 01:04:58,920
Speaker 1: and I had to do it. Based on tape study,

1207
01:04:59,240 --> 01:05:01,600
Speaker 1: I think that they probably haven't gotten on a week

1208
01:05:01,640 --> 01:05:03,760
Speaker 1: to week basis what they were hoping to get out

1209
01:05:03,760 --> 01:05:06,440
Speaker 1: of Gabriel Davis. I would say that, I would say

1210
01:05:06,480 --> 01:05:08,360
Speaker 1: that's accurate to some extent. I was going to ask

1211
01:05:08,400 --> 01:05:11,040
Speaker 1: you about that a little bit because I was wondering,

1212
01:05:11,080 --> 01:05:14,080
Speaker 1: what's up with Gabe Davis. How much do you believe

1213
01:05:15,160 --> 01:05:19,800
Speaker 1: it's Davis's failure to get consistent separation and how much

1214
01:05:19,800 --> 01:05:22,800
Speaker 1: do you believe it's scheme oriented where maybe they're not

1215
01:05:22,960 --> 01:05:27,040
Speaker 1: drawing up as many one on one opportunities for him. Yeah,

1216
01:05:27,400 --> 01:05:29,520
Speaker 1: a lot of times, Greg, I see him as just

1217
01:05:29,680 --> 01:05:34,040
Speaker 1: the clear out guy, you know what I mean? Yeah,

1218
01:05:34,080 --> 01:05:36,720
Speaker 1: you know what I'm always Lyarly Brownie, And I'm just

1219
01:05:36,760 --> 01:05:38,680
Speaker 1: being honest, and I know you guys will appreciate this.

1220
01:05:39,320 --> 01:05:43,360
Speaker 1: You know, it's always hard for me comfortably. Obviously I

1221
01:05:43,400 --> 01:05:46,000
Speaker 1: have my opinions, but because I'm not in the meetings

1222
01:05:46,000 --> 01:05:49,400
Speaker 1: and I'm not there with installations, you know, I'm always

1223
01:05:49,400 --> 01:05:52,720
Speaker 1: a little uncomfortable about talking about scheme. But to me,

1224
01:05:52,840 --> 01:05:55,560
Speaker 1: there is something to that. Now, Hey, I'm sure if

1225
01:05:55,640 --> 01:05:58,320
Speaker 1: Ken Dorsey was sitting here, maybe tell me I'm nuts, okay,

1226
01:05:58,400 --> 01:06:03,000
Speaker 1: And maybe I am, but I think that I would

1227
01:06:03,080 --> 01:06:05,680
Speaker 1: tend to agree with you to some extent. I feel

1228
01:06:05,720 --> 01:06:08,480
Speaker 1: like they could do a better job in terms of

1229
01:06:08,520 --> 01:06:14,160
Speaker 1: getting other receivers involved and open through route concepts and combinations.

1230
01:06:14,160 --> 01:06:18,040
Speaker 1: That's just my take watching the film. Now again, that's

1231
01:06:18,920 --> 01:06:20,640
Speaker 1: you know, I do want to qualify that because I

1232
01:06:20,680 --> 01:06:23,280
Speaker 1: don't know how it's taught, and I don't know, you know,

1233
01:06:23,600 --> 01:06:26,480
Speaker 1: what they do on the practice field. But I think

1234
01:06:26,520 --> 01:06:28,720
Speaker 1: there is some mirror to that based on tape study.

1235
01:06:28,800 --> 01:06:32,960
Speaker 1: How much do you think Beasley, I mean, first of all,

1236
01:06:33,120 --> 01:06:35,440
Speaker 1: he's back, that's number one. Number two. If he's up

1237
01:06:35,440 --> 01:06:38,360
Speaker 1: and he's active and he plays, how much is that

1238
01:06:38,760 --> 01:06:43,400
Speaker 1: a prompting by the offensive staff to get Josh to

1239
01:06:43,560 --> 01:06:47,080
Speaker 1: go to the checkdown options more often, because it seems

1240
01:06:47,120 --> 01:06:49,880
Speaker 1: like this has been something that's been happening over the

1241
01:06:49,920 --> 01:06:53,080
Speaker 1: last several weeks, maybe most notably in week nine. In

1242
01:06:53,120 --> 01:06:56,680
Speaker 1: Week ten, where Josh is wanting maybe a little too

1243
01:06:56,760 --> 01:06:59,200
Speaker 1: much to push the ball down the field when he

1244
01:06:59,280 --> 01:07:01,640
Speaker 1: has an easy checked down for eight or ten yards.

1245
01:07:01,880 --> 01:07:03,880
Speaker 1: They've tried for the last four weeks to get him

1246
01:07:03,880 --> 01:07:07,480
Speaker 1: to do more of that. It's happened on occasion, but

1247
01:07:07,640 --> 01:07:12,040
Speaker 1: not terribly often. I feel like this is a prompting

1248
01:07:12,080 --> 01:07:14,480
Speaker 1: on the part of the staff. Hey, here's a guy

1249
01:07:14,480 --> 01:07:16,520
Speaker 1: you trust. Check it down to him if you're not

1250
01:07:16,520 --> 01:07:19,360
Speaker 1: going to check it down to anybody else. And I

1251
01:07:19,400 --> 01:07:22,560
Speaker 1: think that's fair as well, you know, because we know

1252
01:07:22,680 --> 01:07:25,880
Speaker 1: that Beasley is really good at finding voids and coverage,

1253
01:07:25,880 --> 01:07:29,280
Speaker 1: particularly his own. You know, Mackenzie theoretically has been the

1254
01:07:29,320 --> 01:07:32,640
Speaker 1: man beater guy, but he obviously had two drops last week,

1255
01:07:32,680 --> 01:07:34,600
Speaker 1: and I'm you know, I don't know if that prompted

1256
01:07:34,640 --> 01:07:37,520
Speaker 1: them to go get Beasley, but you know, Beasley is

1257
01:07:37,560 --> 01:07:40,520
Speaker 1: obviously a guy, as we saw in the previous number

1258
01:07:40,480 --> 01:07:43,720
Speaker 1: of years, that Josh Allen is really comfortable throwing the

1259
01:07:43,760 --> 01:07:46,600
Speaker 1: ball too. He knows how to find voids, he knows

1260
01:07:46,600 --> 01:07:51,000
Speaker 1: how to find space, and he's a chain mover and

1261
01:07:51,040 --> 01:07:53,400
Speaker 1: that's ultimately what you want to do because look, I

1262
01:07:53,520 --> 01:07:55,440
Speaker 1: guess I was. You know, this gets back down to

1263
01:07:55,480 --> 01:07:58,120
Speaker 1: the whole offensive philosophy and approach, which, like I said,

1264
01:07:58,160 --> 01:08:01,320
Speaker 1: you know, I don't say this with great confidence, but

1265
01:08:01,400 --> 01:08:03,560
Speaker 1: I see the tape. You know, I thought they would

1266
01:08:03,640 --> 01:08:05,160
Speaker 1: run the ball more or less. We're coming off what

1267
01:08:05,240 --> 01:08:08,320
Speaker 1: they did the week prior against the Patriots with you know,

1268
01:08:08,400 --> 01:08:11,120
Speaker 1: the pony package, which they didn't only ran four or

1269
01:08:11,120 --> 01:08:14,760
Speaker 1: five times this week, Um, and James Cook running the ball.

1270
01:08:14,800 --> 01:08:17,680
Speaker 1: They didn't really run the ball this week, and um,

1271
01:08:18,160 --> 01:08:20,519
Speaker 1: you know that struck me as interesting as well. Um,

1272
01:08:21,120 --> 01:08:23,479
Speaker 1: but yeah, I think that. Yeah. And one thing I

1273
01:08:23,479 --> 01:08:26,080
Speaker 1: will say, and I don't know if they talked to

1274
01:08:26,200 --> 01:08:28,759
Speaker 1: Josh Allen about this, I think there have been times

1275
01:08:28,760 --> 01:08:31,559
Speaker 1: this year Brownie more recently where he's left the pocket

1276
01:08:31,600 --> 01:08:34,840
Speaker 1: too soon. And you know, I think he can. The

1277
01:08:34,840 --> 01:08:37,479
Speaker 1: thing is he can make special plays doing that, like

1278
01:08:37,560 --> 01:08:39,639
Speaker 1: the play against New England where he threw the touchdown

1279
01:08:39,640 --> 01:08:42,439
Speaker 1: at Davis. So we all get, you know, excited about

1280
01:08:42,439 --> 01:08:44,880
Speaker 1: those plays. But I think there are times he leaves

1281
01:08:44,880 --> 01:08:47,400
Speaker 1: the pocket too soon. What about the ability to run

1282
01:08:47,439 --> 01:08:50,040
Speaker 1: the football against this Dolphin team? This is you know,

1283
01:08:50,160 --> 01:08:54,320
Speaker 1: it may be, like you said, dictated by the weather anyway,

1284
01:08:55,280 --> 01:08:58,559
Speaker 1: but on but on level playing field in a dome stadium,

1285
01:08:58,600 --> 01:09:01,280
Speaker 1: what would what would the matchup look like without the

1286
01:09:01,280 --> 01:09:07,960
Speaker 1: weather being a factor? Um ooh, you know, I mean,

1287
01:09:08,000 --> 01:09:11,920
Speaker 1: I think the Dolphins, you know, they have multiple fronts

1288
01:09:11,960 --> 01:09:14,560
Speaker 1: because you know, just like every team does with personnel,

1289
01:09:15,000 --> 01:09:18,120
Speaker 1: and then it would depend on what the Bills personnel is,

1290
01:09:18,160 --> 01:09:21,000
Speaker 1: whether they're going to play with a fullback or not,

1291
01:09:23,040 --> 01:09:25,519
Speaker 1: or you know, if they play eleven personnel, then you're

1292
01:09:25,560 --> 01:09:27,519
Speaker 1: not going to get the five two front that the

1293
01:09:27,600 --> 01:09:31,920
Speaker 1: Dolphins play as their base defense. You know, I'll answer

1294
01:09:31,960 --> 01:09:35,040
Speaker 1: it this way, Steve, I personally believe that the Bills

1295
01:09:35,040 --> 01:09:36,920
Speaker 1: have to try to run the ball more no matter

1296
01:09:36,920 --> 01:09:40,760
Speaker 1: who they play against, because I just you know, I

1297
01:09:40,800 --> 01:09:43,519
Speaker 1: think we all and I'll be the first to admit

1298
01:09:43,560 --> 01:09:45,559
Speaker 1: this coming off last season, and I'm sure you guys

1299
01:09:45,600 --> 01:09:48,439
Speaker 1: felt the same way. With the two games that Josh

1300
01:09:48,479 --> 01:09:51,280
Speaker 1: Allen had in the playoffs and in the last two

1301
01:09:51,360 --> 01:09:53,559
Speaker 1: two and a half years that he's had. You know,

1302
01:09:53,600 --> 01:09:55,200
Speaker 1: I think we all got caught up in that this

1303
01:09:55,200 --> 01:09:57,920
Speaker 1: guy's Superman, and that this guy is the most physically

1304
01:09:58,000 --> 01:10:00,280
Speaker 1: gifted quarterback in the league, which he is if you

1305
01:10:00,360 --> 01:10:03,160
Speaker 1: look at just raw physical traits, and that, you know what,

1306
01:10:03,320 --> 01:10:06,320
Speaker 1: every week, he's just going to be super special because

1307
01:10:06,320 --> 01:10:09,519
Speaker 1: that's who he is. And I think sometimes that can

1308
01:10:09,840 --> 01:10:12,760
Speaker 1: camouflage some concerns you have throughout the rest of your

1309
01:10:12,760 --> 01:10:15,840
Speaker 1: offense because you assume that he's going to make those

1310
01:10:15,880 --> 01:10:22,080
Speaker 1: special plays every single week, and that's unrealistic. So you

1311
01:10:22,160 --> 01:10:25,799
Speaker 1: have to find other ways offensively to move the ball

1312
01:10:25,840 --> 01:10:30,040
Speaker 1: and to win. And you know, I think they've been

1313
01:10:30,080 --> 01:10:33,200
Speaker 1: struggling to do that on a weekly basis. I think

1314
01:10:33,200 --> 01:10:36,360
Speaker 1: that's a fair statement. Let's just take a look at

1315
01:10:36,360 --> 01:10:38,439
Speaker 1: some of the young pass rushers here for the Bills

1316
01:10:38,439 --> 01:10:40,920
Speaker 1: before we let you go, Greg and you know, absent

1317
01:10:41,040 --> 01:10:43,360
Speaker 1: von Miller, who is no longer part of the equation.

1318
01:10:44,040 --> 01:10:47,000
Speaker 1: Gregor Rousseau has done a nice job the last two weeks.

1319
01:10:47,040 --> 01:10:49,799
Speaker 1: You know, had two sacks along with the force fumble,

1320
01:10:51,160 --> 01:10:54,599
Speaker 1: and Oliver's flashed so too as aj Epanessa the last

1321
01:10:54,600 --> 01:10:58,120
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. So maybe just give me your synopsis

1322
01:10:58,120 --> 01:11:00,920
Speaker 1: and what the film has told you about these young

1323
01:11:00,960 --> 01:11:05,200
Speaker 1: pass rushers. Knowing once again, they're going against a quarterback

1324
01:11:05,520 --> 01:11:09,320
Speaker 1: where they know where he's going to be and the

1325
01:11:09,400 --> 01:11:12,679
Speaker 1: ball comes out quick Brownie right. So this is more

1326
01:11:12,880 --> 01:11:17,280
Speaker 1: to me of a early downs, normal down and distance.

1327
01:11:17,360 --> 01:11:20,040
Speaker 1: Your coverage has to be the deciding factor. If you

1328
01:11:20,120 --> 01:11:22,560
Speaker 1: get them into a good number of third and longs,

1329
01:11:22,600 --> 01:11:27,160
Speaker 1: then the pass rush has to win. Now Armstead he's playing,

1330
01:11:27,200 --> 01:11:29,920
Speaker 1: so he's a really good left tackle. I think they've

1331
01:11:29,960 --> 01:11:33,360
Speaker 1: got some other concerns along their offensive line that ideally

1332
01:11:33,560 --> 01:11:36,920
Speaker 1: the Bills can exploit. But it's really going to be

1333
01:11:36,960 --> 01:11:40,040
Speaker 1: more in long yarded situations where two A can't just

1334
01:11:40,200 --> 01:11:42,920
Speaker 1: take the quick, you know, the quick three step rhythm throws,

1335
01:11:43,240 --> 01:11:45,880
Speaker 1: where he has to kind of drop back and throw

1336
01:11:45,920 --> 01:11:48,240
Speaker 1: the football down the field a little bit more. That's

1337
01:11:48,280 --> 01:11:51,439
Speaker 1: where it's going to have to happen. But Rousseau, I've

1338
01:11:51,439 --> 01:11:53,800
Speaker 1: been pleasantly surprised by Rousseau. I'll be the first to

1339
01:11:53,880 --> 01:11:56,840
Speaker 1: admit when he came out that I wasn't sure if

1340
01:11:56,840 --> 01:11:59,320
Speaker 1: he could be this kind of player. And again I'm

1341
01:11:59,320 --> 01:12:01,840
Speaker 1: not suggesting he's, you know, the best pass rusher in

1342
01:12:01,880 --> 01:12:03,920
Speaker 1: the league, but I think he's shown in his two

1343
01:12:04,000 --> 01:12:06,040
Speaker 1: years in the league that he can be a pretty

1344
01:12:06,120 --> 01:12:08,880
Speaker 1: quality edge pass rusher. He knows how to use his

1345
01:12:09,000 --> 01:12:11,280
Speaker 1: length really well, and I think he'll continue to get

1346
01:12:11,320 --> 01:12:14,360
Speaker 1: better at that great stuff. Greg, thanks for coming along

1347
01:12:14,400 --> 01:12:15,920

01:13:41,040 --> 01:13:43,120
Speaker 1: much like it was for the Colts game, Steve, Yeah,

1373
01:13:43,160 --> 01:13:45,040
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to run the football, probably more than

1374
01:13:45,040 --> 01:13:47,479
Speaker 1: you anticipated. I don't know if you need a fourth

1375
01:13:47,520 --> 01:13:50,120
Speaker 1: guy up to do that, though, I think you're fine

1376

01:13:53,200 --> 01:13:55,920
Speaker 1: somebody else And you got Reggie Gillian back in the lunch. No,

1378
01:13:56,280 --> 01:13:58,800
Speaker 1: don't run somebody else's offense. Go out and swing it.

1379
01:13:59,000 --> 01:14:01,840
Speaker 1: You're past, you'll want to throw it. Of course, it's

1380
01:14:01,880 --> 01:14:05,040
Speaker 1: what you do. That's who you are. Why would why

1381
01:14:05,040 --> 01:14:07,439
Speaker 1: would snow or I mean, what are you gonna do?

1382
01:14:07,880 --> 01:14:15,680
Speaker 1: Run you? No? No, no, The only way you do

1383
01:14:15,720 --> 01:14:17,720
Speaker 1: that I got now my thing broke in my ear here.

1384
01:14:18,680 --> 01:14:22,120
Speaker 1: The only way you've change what you do is if

1385
01:14:22,240 --> 01:14:26,120
Speaker 1: it's impossible to do what you do normally. You gotta

1386
01:14:26,160 --> 01:14:28,000
Speaker 1: know these guys are gonna be good enough to get

1387
01:14:28,000 --> 01:14:30,160
Speaker 1: it done. They're gonna be good enough to get it done.

1388
01:14:31,320 --> 01:14:33,439
Speaker 1: To routes. Of course, they're gonna be able to run routes.

1389
01:14:33,920 --> 01:14:37,240
Speaker 1: Are they gonna be able to cover them? Yeah, you're

1390
01:14:37,280 --> 01:14:40,919
Speaker 1: playing against backup corners. Come on, man and say our safeties,

1391
01:14:40,920 --> 01:14:44,720
Speaker 1: backup safeties, one backup safety. Don't Yeah, just do what

1392
01:14:44,760 --> 01:14:48,320
Speaker 1: you do, okay, because think about what the dolphins are

1393
01:14:48,320 --> 01:14:51,040
Speaker 1: looking at. They can't run the ball a lick, yeah,

1394
01:14:51,080 --> 01:14:54,519
Speaker 1: in good conditions, In good conditions, If they can't throw it,

1395
01:14:54,560 --> 01:14:57,240
Speaker 1: you don't have to worry about it anyway. Come, let's go. Yeah,

1396
01:14:57,520 --> 01:14:59,280
Speaker 1: they're they're gonna come out and throw it. You need

1397
01:14:59,320 --> 01:15:02,200
Speaker 1: to throw it. Run your offense. Don't think because the

1398
01:15:02,240 --> 01:15:05,680
Speaker 1: weather's sloppy, you and I are gonna be sitting in

1399
01:15:06,000 --> 01:15:08,400
Speaker 1: snow banks to watch them that they can't do their thing.

1400
01:15:08,400 --> 01:15:12,559
Speaker 1: They're gonna be fine. They're gonna You gotta at least

1401
01:15:12,880 --> 01:15:14,599
Speaker 1: you gotta go out and make him think you think

1402
01:15:14,640 --> 01:15:18,120
Speaker 1: you can run your offense. You're the home team, You're

1403
01:15:18,120 --> 01:15:20,160
Speaker 1: the guys who live in this You're the ones who

1404
01:15:20,200 --> 01:15:21,880
Speaker 1: know what you can get done. You gotta show him,

1405
01:15:22,720 --> 01:15:25,240
Speaker 1: show them you don't have to. Don't try and beat

1406
01:15:25,320 --> 01:15:30,400
Speaker 1: a team left handed without without trying to beat him

1407
01:15:30,439 --> 01:15:34,360
Speaker 1: with your strength. Yeah, I get it, you know if Okay,

1408
01:15:34,479 --> 01:15:36,479
Speaker 1: that's all I'm saying. As for you don't need to

1409
01:15:36,479 --> 01:15:39,320
Speaker 1: go in there trying to be somebody else. Yeah, you're

1410
01:15:39,320 --> 01:15:43,160
Speaker 1: the number one seed for goodness sakes almighty. As for

1411
01:15:43,360 --> 01:15:46,639
Speaker 1: our best guest as to whether Beasley is activated, I

1412
01:15:46,640 --> 01:15:50,439
Speaker 1: would anticipate yes he will be. The question is how

1413
01:15:50,479 --> 01:15:53,240
Speaker 1: long does he play? How many snaps does he get?

1414
01:15:53,320 --> 01:15:55,920
Speaker 1: But I think it's I think it's a pretty good

1415
01:15:55,920 --> 01:15:59,640
Speaker 1: bet that he's up on Saturday night. And as we

1416
01:15:59,680 --> 01:16:01,760
Speaker 1: mentioned earlier in the show, the Bills have until four

1417
01:16:01,840 --> 01:16:06,519
Speaker 1: pm on Saturday. Yeah, we elevate practice squad players every

1418
01:16:06,560 --> 01:16:08,519
Speaker 1: other game. You have to do it. If it's a

1419
01:16:08,640 --> 01:16:10,920
Speaker 1: night game, you can do it at four o'clock that

1420
01:16:11,040 --> 01:16:16,679
Speaker 1: day only if the game is Saturday or Thursday. And

1421
01:16:16,720 --> 01:16:20,040
Speaker 1: what about Monday, Yes, Monday too, and Monday too. I

1422
01:16:20,080 --> 01:16:22,800
Speaker 1: believe if Sunday game, it's got to be the day

1423
01:16:22,800 --> 01:16:26,920
Speaker 1: before at four pm, even if it's a night game, right,

1424
01:16:27,840 --> 01:16:30,400
Speaker 1: but Thursday, Monday, you can do it the day of

1425
01:16:30,400 --> 01:16:33,040
Speaker 1: at four o'clock for some reason, or Saturday if it's

1426
01:16:33,080 --> 01:16:35,320
Speaker 1: a night game. This is all confusing. Now, that's why

1427
01:16:35,400 --> 01:16:40,240
Speaker 1: here's the down right exactly now. Now I'm in the weeds.

1428
01:16:40,240 --> 01:16:42,400
Speaker 1: I don't know what am I talking about here? Okay,

1429
01:16:42,800 --> 01:16:47,400
Speaker 1: I'm a Christmas shopping is done. Um. No, the Bills

1430
01:16:47,439 --> 01:16:51,760
Speaker 1: have till four o'clock tomorrow to activate guys, elevate guys

1431
01:16:51,800 --> 01:16:55,200
Speaker 1: off the off the practice squad or whatever they're on. Um,

1432
01:16:55,880 --> 01:16:58,160
Speaker 1: because it's a Saturday night game. Now, I think about this,

1433
01:16:58,360 --> 01:17:01,040
Speaker 1: the Saturday at one o'clock game and the Saturday at

1434
01:17:01,080 --> 01:17:03,920
Speaker 1: four to twenty five game. They had to do it

1435
01:17:03,960 --> 01:17:08,760
Speaker 1: today at four today, not tomorrow. Same thing for a

1436
01:17:08,800 --> 01:17:11,719
Speaker 1: Monday night game, they get until Monday at four o'clock

1437
01:17:12,360 --> 01:17:16,360
Speaker 1: to activate their to elevate their guys for those games,

1438
01:17:17,040 --> 01:17:19,040
Speaker 1: and for Thursday night games it's the same thing. It's

1439
01:17:19,080 --> 01:17:22,280
Speaker 1: the day of the game. But for Sunday night games,

1440
01:17:22,280 --> 01:17:25,360
Speaker 1: the ones we see all, they got to doturday Saturday

1441
01:17:25,400 --> 01:17:29,280
Speaker 1: at four, same as the bills. That's what are they doing.

1442
01:17:29,400 --> 01:17:30,920
Speaker 1: It's a little weird. They got to make it a

1443
01:17:31,000 --> 01:17:33,599
Speaker 1: uniform thing. Yeah, you should just put it, you know,

1444
01:17:33,840 --> 01:17:37,000
Speaker 1: four o'clock the day before four four o'clock, whatever time

1445
01:17:37,040 --> 01:17:41,200
Speaker 1: your game is, it's four pm. Who cares if when

1446
01:17:41,200 --> 01:17:44,400
Speaker 1: we find out about it anyway, but still anyway, it's

1447
01:17:44,760 --> 01:17:49,080
Speaker 1: second question coming from Bakes, who asks which team has

1448
01:17:49,120 --> 01:17:51,679
Speaker 1: the advantage in the white out, the Dolphins in white

1449
01:17:51,920 --> 01:17:54,600
Speaker 1: or the Bills in red. Well, I would say offensively,

1450
01:17:54,640 --> 01:17:56,320
Speaker 1: it would be the Bills in red. Easier to see

1451
01:17:56,320 --> 01:17:59,240
Speaker 1: your teammates running around out there, right, Yeah, I think so.

1452
01:17:59,600 --> 01:18:02,280
Speaker 1: And the bill will be wearing their color rush red uniforms,

1453
01:18:02,280 --> 01:18:05,040
Speaker 1: which will stand out very nicely in a snowstorre thing.

1454
01:18:05,080 --> 01:18:07,200
Speaker 1: They're gonna pop, Man, it's gonna be awesome. They popped

1455
01:18:07,240 --> 01:18:10,679
Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen, popped off the thing I'm set before

1456
01:18:10,680 --> 01:18:12,799
Speaker 1: it was the game was a work of art. Yeah,

1457
01:18:12,880 --> 01:18:17,400
Speaker 1: visually from Bill's Mafia Dad. This offense looks so awesome

1458
01:18:17,400 --> 01:18:19,720
Speaker 1: and hurry up, but it's only used sparingly. Do you

1459
01:18:19,720 --> 01:18:22,920
Speaker 1: think this offense should use it more going forward to

1460
01:18:22,960 --> 01:18:27,479
Speaker 1: increase productivity? Yeah, it's it's funny. The Bills more often

1461
01:18:27,479 --> 01:18:30,400
Speaker 1: than not will score at the end of the first half,

1462
01:18:30,479 --> 01:18:32,479
Speaker 1: especially when they win the corny toss with a two

1463
01:18:32,520 --> 01:18:35,040
Speaker 1: minute drill drive. When it's you know, a little bit

1464
01:18:35,120 --> 01:18:37,320
Speaker 1: up tempo. And the Bills tried to use tempo a

1465
01:18:37,360 --> 01:18:39,840
Speaker 1: few times against the Jets last week. You know, they'd

1466
01:18:39,840 --> 01:18:41,760
Speaker 1: have a second down play it's third and short. Bang,

1467
01:18:41,760 --> 01:18:43,519
Speaker 1: they'd go right up to the line and call something.

1468
01:18:44,120 --> 01:18:46,200
Speaker 1: And they got a couple of conversions that way, not

1469
01:18:46,280 --> 01:18:48,439
Speaker 1: many because they were over five on third down the

1470
01:18:48,479 --> 01:18:53,559
Speaker 1: second half. Yeah, they tried it, though, right, I get

1471
01:18:53,600 --> 01:18:55,840
Speaker 1: do you go to it more? What do you think? Listen,

1472
01:18:55,920 --> 01:18:59,920
Speaker 1: that's why that's where the k gun came from. Jim

1473
01:19:00,280 --> 01:19:03,040
Speaker 1: got so good at going fast and they started to

1474
01:19:03,240 --> 01:19:06,599
Speaker 1: realize that. And we've all heard this story million times.

1475
01:19:06,600 --> 01:19:08,840
Speaker 1: I'm sorry to be an old guy saying telling the old,

1476
01:19:08,840 --> 01:19:12,000
Speaker 1: same ol story. What happens when you go fast and

1477
01:19:12,040 --> 01:19:14,880
Speaker 1: you don't substitute. The other defense isn't allowed to bring

1478
01:19:14,920 --> 01:19:16,840
Speaker 1: guys on, and the game can go fast because if

1479
01:19:16,840 --> 01:19:19,320
Speaker 1: you don't substitute, they can't. You don't have to allow

1480
01:19:19,320 --> 01:19:21,840
Speaker 1: them to substitute. The officials don't, and if you get

1481
01:19:21,840 --> 01:19:24,000
Speaker 1: a matchup, you can exploit, well, what are they going

1482
01:19:24,080 --> 01:19:26,960
Speaker 1: to do? They got called time out or change their

1483
01:19:27,000 --> 01:19:29,200
Speaker 1: defense somehow, some way, And it's hard to do that

1484
01:19:29,240 --> 01:19:32,200
Speaker 1: on the fly, especially if you keep converting third downs.

1485
01:19:32,240 --> 01:19:35,400
Speaker 1: That's the thing. The big weakness of the hurry up

1486
01:19:35,400 --> 01:19:39,479
Speaker 1: offense is that you have to make first downs. If

1487
01:19:39,520 --> 01:19:43,960
Speaker 1: you don't, it's a self inflicted slow death because you

1488
01:19:43,960 --> 01:19:45,880
Speaker 1: can wear out your defense pretty fast and the other

1489
01:19:45,920 --> 01:19:50,040
Speaker 1: team gets the ball right back. So there's two ways

1490
01:19:50,040 --> 01:19:51,960
Speaker 1: to it. But that's where the ka gun came from.

1491
01:19:52,040 --> 01:19:55,120
Speaker 1: Jim was so Jim, Kelly Therma, Thomas Andre and our

1492
01:19:55,160 --> 01:19:58,400
Speaker 1: offensive line that was so big at the time they

1493
01:19:58,439 --> 01:20:01,360
Speaker 1: started going and they were so good in certain situations

1494
01:20:01,400 --> 01:20:03,120
Speaker 1: during the game. We just said, we know what, let's

1495
01:20:03,200 --> 01:20:04,720
Speaker 1: let's try and do that right out of the gate.

1496
01:20:05,160 --> 01:20:09,200
Speaker 1: And they did it like opening game of nineteen something

1497
01:20:09,280 --> 01:20:13,920
Speaker 1: something against Indianapolis, and it worked and they stayed with it.

1498
01:20:14,000 --> 01:20:18,479
Speaker 1: So yeah, if you if you get a matchup you

1499
01:20:18,479 --> 01:20:23,400
Speaker 1: can exploit, you do want to keep going fast. I

1500
01:20:23,400 --> 01:20:25,639
Speaker 1: don't know if the Bills, this iteration of the Bills

1501
01:20:25,680 --> 01:20:27,080
Speaker 1: is going to do that. I think they might do

1502
01:20:27,120 --> 01:20:30,439
Speaker 1: it in certain instances, or if the opponents, you know,

1503
01:20:30,520 --> 01:20:32,040
Speaker 1: you find an opponent that if you get him in

1504
01:20:32,080 --> 01:20:33,840
Speaker 1: the wrong personnel grouping and you want to keep them

1505
01:20:33,840 --> 01:20:35,759
Speaker 1: on the field, maybe you go fast for that series.

1506
01:20:36,880 --> 01:20:38,799
Speaker 1: But for a whole game. I just don't see that happening.

1507
01:20:38,840 --> 01:20:41,679
Speaker 1: From Ed in the mail bag. If the weather shuts

1508
01:20:41,680 --> 01:20:43,880
Speaker 1: down the passing game, who has the advantage running the

1509
01:20:43,920 --> 01:20:48,040
Speaker 1: ball Saturday night? Statistically, it's the Bills because the Dolphins

1510
01:20:48,040 --> 01:20:49,960
Speaker 1: have not been able to run the football all season long.

1511
01:20:49,960 --> 01:20:52,240
Speaker 1: They're twenty ninth and rushing. One of their top two

1512
01:20:52,320 --> 01:20:54,639
Speaker 1: running backs is digged with a hip injury, and their

1513
01:20:54,640 --> 01:20:57,120
Speaker 1: offensive line has injuries as well, the right tackles on

1514
01:20:57,160 --> 01:21:00,639
Speaker 1: ir and they're just not a good running football team.

1515
01:21:00,640 --> 01:21:05,479
Speaker 1: They're just not. The Bills aren't fantastic, but they're the

1516
01:21:05,520 --> 01:21:07,400
Speaker 1: only team in football that is run for a hundred

1517
01:21:07,479 --> 01:21:11,600
Speaker 1: yards in every single game this season, and your quarterback

1518
01:21:11,800 --> 01:21:14,400
Speaker 1: is one of the best read zone running quarterbacks in football.

1519
01:21:14,720 --> 01:21:18,000
Speaker 1: So advantage Bills. Yeah. If the game goes that direction

1520
01:21:18,040 --> 01:21:22,640
Speaker 1: where nobody can throw the football, You're advantage evaporates. And

1521
01:21:22,720 --> 01:21:25,719
Speaker 1: the Bills have a better run defense, but your advantage

1522
01:21:25,760 --> 01:21:31,000
Speaker 1: evaporates because then it becomes a question of which defensive

1523
01:21:31,040 --> 01:21:33,800
Speaker 1: coordinator is going to sell out to stop the run

1524
01:21:33,920 --> 01:21:37,760
Speaker 1: more than the other and not get taken advantage of

1525
01:21:37,840 --> 01:21:40,040
Speaker 1: by some little dink pass over the top that goes

1526
01:21:40,040 --> 01:21:45,400
Speaker 1: for a touchdown. It becomes a chess match, whereas you

1527
01:21:45,400 --> 01:21:48,439
Speaker 1: can put six defensive tackles on the field or however

1528
01:21:48,479 --> 01:21:50,280
Speaker 1: many you have in defensive ends, and you can put

1529
01:21:50,360 --> 01:21:52,880
Speaker 1: defensive ends a linebacker, and you can put take the

1530
01:21:53,160 --> 01:21:56,320
Speaker 1: deep corners off the field and put and put linebackers

1531
01:21:56,320 --> 01:21:58,559
Speaker 1: in for them too. You can put you know, you

1532
01:21:58,560 --> 01:22:02,800
Speaker 1: can put eleven defensive linemen and linebackers out there and

1533
01:22:03,120 --> 01:22:07,720
Speaker 1: stop the run pretty easy, you know, and it just

1534
01:22:07,760 --> 01:22:10,599
Speaker 1: becomes a balancing act. Okay, how can they? Can they

1535
01:22:10,640 --> 01:22:14,240
Speaker 1: throw it against us and the double wing? Yeah? Yeah,

1536
01:22:14,320 --> 01:22:16,760
Speaker 1: I mean everybody can do it. The question, you know,

1537
01:22:17,000 --> 01:22:20,200
Speaker 1: But then what advantage do you have if there if

1538
01:22:20,200 --> 01:22:23,160
Speaker 1: their defense is willing to do that, you're not going

1539
01:22:23,200 --> 01:22:25,120
Speaker 1: to run it on him. I don't care who it is.

1540
01:22:25,240 --> 01:22:29,720
Speaker 1: So yeah, then it becomes a different kind of contest

1541
01:22:30,640 --> 01:22:35,040
Speaker 1: that has nothing to do with running ball. Yeah from TJ.

1542
01:22:35,520 --> 01:22:38,400
Speaker 1: Not a question for Brownie and Steve, but a declaration.

1543
01:22:39,120 --> 01:22:43,240
Speaker 1: Josh Allen will run for two hundred yards and four tds.

1544
01:22:43,720 --> 01:22:47,759
Speaker 1: He is literally a buffalo alien hybrid that's been waiting

1545
01:22:47,760 --> 01:22:50,559
Speaker 1: all his life for a snow game like this. I

1546
01:22:50,600 --> 01:22:52,800
Speaker 1: am available for a call in Monday morning to take

1547
01:22:52,840 --> 01:22:56,120
Speaker 1: over the radio show. Okay, put yeah, put TJ on

1548
01:22:56,160 --> 01:23:00,800
Speaker 1: the whiteboard just in case I think we're just I

1549
01:23:00,800 --> 01:23:03,840
Speaker 1: think it. The statement says it all. We'll just leave

1550
01:23:03,840 --> 01:23:06,679
Speaker 1: it at that. From Cole in the mail bag, TJ

1551
01:23:06,840 --> 01:23:08,519
Speaker 1: is actually right now in a camper out in the

1552
01:23:08,640 --> 01:23:12,679
Speaker 1: camper a lot. He's already thrown him back there. Cole asks,

1553
01:23:12,720 --> 01:23:15,439
Speaker 1: do you think people have moved the goalposts for Josh

1554
01:23:15,439 --> 01:23:17,800
Speaker 1: in the MVP race? I think Mahomes should be clear

1555
01:23:17,800 --> 01:23:21,200
Speaker 1: front runner, but hurts over Alan seventeen has more total

1556
01:23:21,280 --> 01:23:23,840
Speaker 1: yards in the same amount of tds. I think Alan

1557
01:23:23,960 --> 01:23:26,000
Speaker 1: is so great sometimes that when he dips a little,

1558
01:23:26,040 --> 01:23:28,519
Speaker 1: people tend to overreend. Yeah. I think people also were

1559
01:23:28,520 --> 01:23:30,640
Speaker 1: taken into account he got injured and Josh hasn't been

1560
01:23:30,640 --> 01:23:34,560
Speaker 1: a hundred percent Yeah that people are like ah and

1561
01:23:34,600 --> 01:23:37,000
Speaker 1: it's easy for people who aren't fans of his or

1562
01:23:37,040 --> 01:23:39,320
Speaker 1: don't have anything invested him, say just take him off

1563
01:23:39,320 --> 01:23:42,760
Speaker 1: the board, because while he was injured, despite how the

1564
01:23:42,840 --> 01:23:44,880
Speaker 1: kind of year he's having that happened to Fred Jackson

1565
01:23:44,880 --> 01:23:48,680
Speaker 1: and twenty he was having a league MVP season and

1566
01:23:48,720 --> 01:23:51,080
Speaker 1: then he got dinged late in the year. He didn't

1567
01:23:51,120 --> 01:23:53,479
Speaker 1: even make the Pro Bowl. Yea and in fact of

1568
01:23:53,520 --> 01:23:56,479
Speaker 1: the matter is, you know, you got guys out there

1569
01:23:56,479 --> 01:24:01,800
Speaker 1: like Mahomes whom it's hard. Every week he's throwing for

1570
01:24:01,800 --> 01:24:04,519
Speaker 1: three hundred yards. Josh last week throws one every time

1571
01:24:04,600 --> 01:24:06,559
Speaker 1: and it's like, yeah, he's off the MVP. And every

1572
01:24:06,600 --> 01:24:09,880
Speaker 1: time Mahomes does this little side arm, no look, get out,

1573
01:24:09,920 --> 01:24:11,639
Speaker 1: get rid of it for a touchdown, and it goes

1574
01:24:11,640 --> 01:24:13,720
Speaker 1: for a touchdown. People forget that he threw three picks

1575
01:24:13,760 --> 01:24:16,479
Speaker 1: in that game. In the Denver game. You know, nobody

1576
01:24:16,479 --> 01:24:19,599
Speaker 1: even says anything, so m That's just the way life is.

1577
01:24:20,120 --> 01:24:24,720
Speaker 1: And the MVP is a very difficult UM award to

1578
01:24:24,760 --> 01:24:29,240
Speaker 1: win for good reason. And but once you've won it once,

1579
01:24:30,080 --> 01:24:34,160
Speaker 1: you get a little mileage out of that in future seasons.

1580
01:24:34,280 --> 01:24:36,479
Speaker 1: And I think Mahomes is doing that. He deserves every

1581
01:24:36,479 --> 01:24:38,479
Speaker 1: good thing they say about him. We can be honest here.

1582
01:24:38,479 --> 01:24:42,599
Speaker 1: Even as Buffalo, the guy's great, The guy's fantastic, He's

1583
01:24:42,800 --> 01:24:45,000
Speaker 1: the league is better for him having him in the league.

1584
01:24:45,080 --> 01:24:47,800
Speaker 1: He's fun to watch, even for people who who don't

1585
01:24:47,840 --> 01:24:50,679
Speaker 1: like their team, all of that stuff, even for Bill's fans,

1586
01:24:50,680 --> 01:24:52,960
Speaker 1: you got to appreciate the guy. And much like you know,

1587
01:24:53,040 --> 01:24:56,880
Speaker 1: other teams are like that Josh Allen's a problem. So yeah,

1588
01:24:57,040 --> 01:24:59,760
Speaker 1: it's it's gonna be hard to catch Pat Mahomes in

1589
01:24:59,800 --> 01:25:03,439
Speaker 1: the in this season, particularly given the ease of their

1590
01:25:03,479 --> 01:25:11,240
Speaker 1: schedule going down the stretch. I think, discerning analysts, I

1591
01:25:11,400 --> 01:25:13,200
Speaker 1: can find a lot of good reasons to give it

1592
01:25:13,240 --> 01:25:16,240
Speaker 1: to more than one, more than Mahomes and Josh Jalen

1593
01:25:16,320 --> 01:25:19,360
Speaker 1: hurts all these guys. Yeah, there's arguments to be made

1594
01:25:19,360 --> 01:25:21,960
Speaker 1: for all three of them, but for right now, it's hard.

1595
01:25:22,280 --> 01:25:23,960
Speaker 1: It's hard to find an argument better than the one

1596
01:25:24,040 --> 01:25:26,920
Speaker 1: Mahomes has put out quickly from Daniel, a good friend

1597
01:25:26,920 --> 01:25:30,040
Speaker 1: of mine is getting married Saturday. I'm not in the wedding,

1598
01:25:30,040 --> 01:25:32,720
Speaker 1: but the reception runs from six to ten pm. It's

1599
01:25:32,760 --> 01:25:35,960
Speaker 1: an hour from home. When is a polite time to

1600
01:25:36,080 --> 01:25:38,439
Speaker 1: leave to watch the game? I live out of the area,

1601
01:25:38,560 --> 01:25:43,240
Speaker 1: so radio is not an option. I would say streaming

1602
01:25:43,320 --> 01:25:45,840
Speaker 1: on your phone, Oh you're out of the area, though,

1603
01:25:45,920 --> 01:25:50,759
Speaker 1: that's not gonna work on NFL Plus. Man, the kickoffs

1604
01:25:50,760 --> 01:25:55,439
Speaker 1: to You're Gonna eat dinner and run Yah, sixteen people

1605
01:25:55,439 --> 01:25:59,679
Speaker 1: aren't even on the dance floor by eight. That's tough.

1606
01:26:00,120 --> 01:26:06,519
Speaker 1: As soon as you clear the receiving line, you come

1607
01:26:06,520 --> 01:26:10,800
Speaker 1: on what you're not even staying for dinner. It's six

1608
01:26:11,040 --> 01:26:14,400
Speaker 1: the reception six to ten. He could stay the first

1609
01:26:14,720 --> 01:26:17,120
Speaker 1: hour at least walk down dinner and then let me

1610
01:26:17,160 --> 01:26:20,680
Speaker 1: just do an Irish goodbye. Here's the strategy Irish, so

1611
01:26:20,720 --> 01:26:23,840
Speaker 1: I can say that you go through the receiving line

1612
01:26:23,920 --> 01:26:25,960
Speaker 1: and you make a big deal of it. Oh, it's

1613
01:26:25,960 --> 01:26:28,360
Speaker 1: been great, you know you you kind of look stunning.

1614
01:26:28,400 --> 01:26:31,559
Speaker 1: You overdo it so they know they're gonna oh it

1615
01:26:31,640 --> 01:26:34,639
Speaker 1: was great to see just and be profuse in your

1616
01:26:34,680 --> 01:26:37,160
Speaker 1: praise of their wedding and everything and that. And then

1617
01:26:37,160 --> 01:26:38,720
Speaker 1: if you want to cover yourself a little bit more,

1618
01:26:38,800 --> 01:26:42,800
Speaker 1: put an extra fifty bucks in the card. Yeah, yeah,

1619
01:26:42,840 --> 01:26:46,200
Speaker 1: you get what you pay for. Yeah, extra extra fifty

1620
01:26:46,200 --> 01:26:48,280
Speaker 1: bucks in the in the little kid, I might cover

1621
01:26:48,320 --> 01:26:50,280
Speaker 1: you for cutting out her. And then you know it

1622
01:26:50,320 --> 01:26:53,120
Speaker 1: gives you a free hour and a half of game time.

1623
01:26:53,520 --> 01:26:56,280
Speaker 1: That's the obil Friday fan mailback. Thanks for all your questions.

1624
01:26:56,320 --> 01:27:00,160
Speaker 1: Hopefully we helped you there, Daniel. Good luck on at

1625
01:27:00,360 --> 01:27:02,840
Speaker 1: that's a tough one. We're taking a break here. When

1626
01:27:02,880 --> 01:27:05,720
Speaker 1: we come back, it's time to build a game plan.

1627
01:27:05,800 --> 01:27:07,519
Speaker 1: We'll have that for you next here on one Bill's

1628
01:27:07,520 --> 01:27:19,719
Speaker 1: Live Building a game plan presented by United Rentals. United

1629
01:27:19,760 --> 01:27:22,719
Speaker 1: Rentals is an exclusive and official construction equipment rental partner

1630
01:27:22,760 --> 01:27:25,040
Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bill Steve for the offense game plan,

1631
01:27:25,160 --> 01:27:28,720
Speaker 1: go you gotta get some easy completions for Josh early on.

1632
01:27:28,800 --> 01:27:30,400
Speaker 1: Don't be afraid to let him run it if the

1633
01:27:30,479 --> 01:27:33,800
Speaker 1: conditions go south. I think you just turn Josh into

1634
01:27:33,840 --> 01:27:36,680
Speaker 1: an option quarterback, let him and do power sweeps right

1635
01:27:36,680 --> 01:27:39,559
Speaker 1: at the Dolphins. But I also think you leave the

1636
01:27:39,600 --> 01:27:42,000
Speaker 1: passing game in the game plan. You've got to be

1637
01:27:42,000 --> 01:27:44,439
Speaker 1: able to throw the football, even if it's just five

1638
01:27:44,520 --> 01:27:47,200
Speaker 1: yards down the line of scrimmage or beyond the line

1639
01:27:47,240 --> 01:27:49,400
Speaker 1: of scrimmage. So I think you go in there thinking

1640
01:27:49,400 --> 01:27:52,679
Speaker 1: you can run your offense until you prove to yourself

1641
01:27:52,680 --> 01:27:57,000
Speaker 1: you can't. And I think you got to give Josh

1642
01:27:57,000 --> 01:27:59,519
Speaker 1: some easy outlets, some check downs with the backs, with

1643
01:27:59,520 --> 01:28:02,639
Speaker 1: the tight ends and with the slot receivers. It will

1644
01:28:02,760 --> 01:28:05,200
Speaker 1: be hard to throw the football down the field, but

1645
01:28:05,680 --> 01:28:09,680
Speaker 1: it could be that because of the conditions, you got

1646
01:28:09,720 --> 01:28:13,559
Speaker 1: guys running open deep down the field because one little

1647
01:28:13,600 --> 01:28:16,599
Speaker 1: hesitation move and a receiver or the deep goes down.

1648
01:28:17,479 --> 01:28:20,000
Speaker 1: That stuff happens in games like this, So you've got

1649
01:28:20,000 --> 01:28:23,080
Speaker 1: to be alert to being abled to threaten the field everywhere,

1650
01:28:23,080 --> 01:28:24,880
Speaker 1: even if you have no intention of going down there,

1651
01:28:24,920 --> 01:28:27,320
Speaker 1: just in case. That's why the Bills drafted Josh Allen

1652
01:28:27,360 --> 01:28:29,639
Speaker 1: to play in whether like this. Big arm, big hands

1653
01:28:29,720 --> 01:28:33,000
Speaker 1: can handle it. Defensively, the Bills just have to muddy

1654
01:28:33,040 --> 01:28:36,680
Speaker 1: the waters for Tua. Don't make the anticipatory throws that

1655
01:28:36,720 --> 01:28:39,000
Speaker 1: he can make. Because he knows what the defense is

1656
01:28:39,360 --> 01:28:43,120
Speaker 1: readily apparent to him. When he hesitates, he can't make plays.

1657
01:28:43,160 --> 01:28:45,840
