1
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 1: At a Steve Tasker who has been all over the field.

2
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

3
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: player for you state, Steve a blimp. We're not even

4
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:24,639
Speaker 1: in the strategyre of normalcy. Never normal, especially on a

5
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 1: playoff Wednesday. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker, one bills Live Wednesday

6
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:32,600
Speaker 1: Edition players on the practice field, although it is indoors,

7
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: so updates will have to wait until the injury report

8
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: is released later today. There were some new names on

9
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: that injury report which was first released yesterday. With the

10
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 1: game being on Saturday, we can get into that a

11
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 1: little bit. And we've also got league news as the

12
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 1: coaching carousel continues to spin. It looks as though the

13
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 1: Jets are trying to nail down their prom date by

14
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 1: the name of Robert Sala, so we'll see if they

15
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 1: can close the deal there. They're definitely terrified that if

16
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 1: they let him out of the building and go to

17
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: Philadelphia to interview there, they may not get him back.

18
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:14,399
Speaker 1: So some interesting developments there along with some of the

19
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:18,960
Speaker 1: other open vacant coaching positions. As Eric b Enemy is

20
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: now up for five of those openings, he's been interviewing

21
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 1: with a lot of those teams, although none of them

22
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,319
Speaker 1: have made a terribly public so it'll be interesting to

23
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 1: see if he finally gets a head coaching post at

24
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 1: age fifty one. We know that looking at this game,

25
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: which will do a lot more of through the course

26
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 1: of today's show. We will, and our Twitter poll is

27
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: part of that. We'll get to that shortly. But Steve,

28
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: I think that just in diving into this Ravens team

29
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: a little bit more, it's I think one of the

30
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 1: interesting things to me is it looks like Lamar Jackson

31
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: had a similar development year to that of Josh Allen

32
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: because when he went on before he went on the

33
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: COVID list around mid season, he was struggling. Like he

34
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:08,839
Speaker 1: didn't get off to a hot start like Josh did.

35
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: He was struggling. And I found some of his comments

36
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: interesting this week because he said, I was trying to

37
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 1: make plays in the passing game. I was trying too

38
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: hard to make plays in the passing I was taking

39
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: too many sacks, he said. And what changed for me

40
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: after I came back from COVID was I just decided

41
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: first read, second read, not open, I'm going And that's

42
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: what he is, right, That's how he became the MVP

43
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 1: last year. I'm wondering though, when you see that as

44
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,799
Speaker 1: a defensive player on tape, you know he's only going

45
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 1: first read, second read now looking to go run around.

46
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: Can you play that like? Can you play in anticipation

47
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: of that? Or do you still have to mind your

48
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: p's and ques if you're on like the cover in

49
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:52,839
Speaker 1: the third read for example. No, you got to mind

50
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: your ps and ces, no matter what I mean, That's

51
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: just the way it is. You got to play your

52
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: position and allow your other guys to play their position. Certainly,

53
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: you can bail out if he starts run and everybody's

54
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 1: you know, all bets are off, you got to you

55
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 1: gotta go tackle him if he's passed the line of scrimmage.

56
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: The question is how long does it take for him

57
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 1: to get to his first and second read and how

58
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: long you got to cover him up? And how much

59
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 1: better has he got to go into those? Are they

60
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 1: better at getting open? Last year that you remember our

61
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 1: own John Brown for the Buffalo Bills was at Baltimore

62
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 1: two years ago when they had Joe Flacco, and then

63
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 1: it was Lamar Jackson taking over Flacco during the season.

64
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 1: Then last year, of course was his first real season

65
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 1: as the starter Lamar Jackson, he was the MVP. But

66
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: in that off season John Harbaugh said, listen, we gotta

67
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: get receivers who can block in the running game. Okay, fine,

68
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: you're not getting guys who can separate. You're getting guys

69
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 1: who can block. You're not getting guys who win one

70
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: on one battles. You're getting guys who are run run blockers.

71
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: Well yeah, and you get rid of guys like John Brown.

72
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 1: And that's why they went through that three tight end

73
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: look last year that was so popular for them. They've

74
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: moved away from that a little bit more now. And

75
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: let's face it, every time when you get something that's

76
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: really working, particularly Lamar had last year and the Bravens

77
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 1: had last year. Phenomenal season. Last year it was great

78
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: and he was the MVP. But if you're gonna continue

79
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: to win, you've got to evolve. You've got to do

80
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: more things or add to your skill set. You've got

81
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: to get better at certain things because the other thirty

82
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 1: one teams in the league are on scholarship too, and

83
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: they're gonna catch up. They're gonna do some things to

84
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: combat you. Unless you have you know, superlative gifted guys

85
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: everywhere on the like like a Chiefs team with Tyreek Hill,

86
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: with Pat Mahomes, with Sammy Watkins and you know now

87
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 1: Edwards Hilaire DeMarcus, right, you could have a list unless

88
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: you got a bunch of guys like that. You know,

89
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 1: you got to find a way to expand your skill

90
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 1: set otherwise you just outmatch everybody. And then the run game,

91
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:54,839
Speaker 1: you know, the Bravens are still you know, they can

92
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: outmatch a lot of people in the run game. They

93
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 1: ran for over three thousand yards for the second straight

94
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: season and the only team in NFL history to do

95
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: it in back to back seasons. But they can't beat

96
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 1: your left handed and if the team is good enough

97
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 1: to get a couple of stops in the run game

98
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 1: and their offense is good enough to play, you're gonna

99
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: get beat once in a while. Now that the Ravens

100
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 1: are complimented with a phenomenal defense as well, they're the

101
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 1: top one of the top defense, if not the top

102
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: defense in the league, and a lot of category so

103
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: they've got all that going on. They've never had to

104
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:29,040
Speaker 1: really play from behind all that much. So we'll see,

105
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 1: you know, if if the Bills can get him in

106
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 1: that predicament or what kind of the game this this

107
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 1: unfolds to be. But yeah, that Lamar's right. If he

108
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 1: wants to get better, the passing games places to do it. Yeah,

109
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: but there's a part of me that wonders if he

110
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 1: can get better in that area. Like I think we

111
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 1: talk all the time about Josh Allen ceiling here, right,

112
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: And I know you and I almost fell out of

113
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: our chairs last week when we had Jordan Palmer on

114
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 1: and he said, I don't know if there is a

115
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: ceiling with Josh because of his rare physical abilities, and

116
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,720
Speaker 1: knowing that you know, his mental acuity for the game

117
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:09,280
Speaker 1: is sharper than most people give him credit for. There's

118
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 1: a part of me that is starting to believe, or

119
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 1: at the very least, wonder, is Lamar Jackson already approaching

120
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 1: his ceiling as a passer in this league? Because have

121
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: we seen dramatic improvement from him in that area? I mean,

122
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: I think it's certainly better than it was his rookie season,

123
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: but I still see some limitations there to his passing game,

124
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:34,679
Speaker 1: And maybe it's because of the people he has around

125
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: him that might be part of it. We saw, we

126
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: saw the jump that you know, this Bill's passing attack

127
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: took when they added digs, So I'll give him that. Um,

128
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: they're not. I wonder they're not built personnel wise for that.

129
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: They're not. Should they be? Do you think they should

130
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 1: be to advance and evolved like you're talking about or no,

131
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 1: only unless they get to a point where they trust

132
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: Lamar to do it on a consistent basis. I mean,

133
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: here's the thing that why go divergent from what has

134
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 1: won them fourteen games last year? It's all they need

135
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 1: to do is compliment it. And you know it would

136
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 1: be almost the reverse of what the Bills are doing

137
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 1: now in the running pass. Yeah, the Bills use their

138
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 1: run game. Let's keep them honest and let's we're gonna

139
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 1: throw the football. That's what That's exactly what it should be.

140
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: And write them out. Now the Ravens are doing at

141
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 1: a high level where that's all they need their passing

142
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 1: game to be. I'm just just making player first down

143
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: once in a while. Fascinated and how divergent these two

144
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 1: offenses are, because you know, the Bills throw at sixty

145
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: one percent of the time, the Ravens run at fifty

146
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: five percent of the time. Yeah, like they are five

147
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: percent ahead of the next most you know rush offense

148
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 1: in the league, which is Tennessee. They're about fifty percent run,

149
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: fifty one percent run, and the Ravens are almost fifty

150
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,679
Speaker 1: six percent run the football in an era where everybody's

151
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 1: throwing it all over the place. I just find those

152
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: two offenses so fascinating because they are so different. I

153
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 1: will say though, over the course of going over some

154
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: more numbers last night Steve and watching these two teams

155
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 1: on a film like, I'm feeling a little bit better

156
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 1: about this matchup. I'm not saying I was in a

157
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 1: dark place yesterday, but I think on yesterday's show there

158
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: was genuine concern on my part and I still think

159
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: to a certain extent it is a coin flip game.

160
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 1: But I don't think the Ravens defense can go deep

161
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 1: enough to completely neutralize this passing game, and so I

162
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,959
Speaker 1: think there will be opportunities. And I thought Josh Allen

163
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 1: hid it on the head when he addressed the media yesterday.

164
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:55,079
Speaker 1: He essentially said this Ravens defense is tough, and if

165
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 1: that team gets some early momentum, they get scary. But

166
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: he believes that based on watching last year's game, when

167
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: he accused himself of making some bone headed mistakes, there

168
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 1: were opportunities to score points, and he feels there will

169
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 1: be opportunities again to score points this time around. He says,

170
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 1: we have to take advantage of every single one of

171
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 1: those opportunities. Now that sounds like basic logic. Of course,

172
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 1: you oh, we got an opportunity to score, well, you

173
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 1: better score. Well, yeah, you're better. But I found it

174
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,679
Speaker 1: interesting that he saw a way to being productive against

175
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: the defense that has not allowed too many opposing offenses

176
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 1: to be productive. And maybe that's just his confidence speaking,

177
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 1: but no, I think there are genuine xes and o's

178
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 1: and execution options that he feels they can use to

179
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: maybe score more points against this defense than they're accustomed

180
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: to give it up. Yeah, it's got to come out

181
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: to can they give Josh enough time to see it,

182
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:56,959
Speaker 1: read it, make the throw, and if it's covered, good

183
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 1: to a second read and all of that stuff. And

184
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: that's what it's going to come down to, decting Josh.

185
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 1: If they're gonna throw the football two thirds at the

186
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: time or sixty percent of the time or more, that's

187
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 1: what it comes down. You got to protect him now,

188
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 1: because this is a team that's got corners that they

189
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 1: may depend on to go man, and then it all

190
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:13,959
Speaker 1: comes down to how much time has he got to

191
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 1: let him get open? Right now? The other thing that

192
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: Steve and I were talking about just before we came

193
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: on the air was how bored we are at home.

194
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,079
Speaker 1: This is a completely different subject, but it's just as

195
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,079
Speaker 1: important as far as we're concerned, because it affects us.

196
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: I mean, we'll be selfish for a second. So the

197
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: pandemic is stretching, dangerous and perilously close to going on

198
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 1: a year? Here, what are we in? Month ten? So

199
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 1: it's we're ten months in. We're just about ten months

200
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:48,199
Speaker 1: February it was well, they didn't shut everything down till

201
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 1: like mid March, mid March they shut everything down. I

202
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: think I can't remember his March. The reason I remember

203
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 1: that is because it was right around my birthday. It's March.

204
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 1: I celebrated my birthday in mid March, right March in seclusion.

205
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: March ninth, we left the studio for five months, went home,

206
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: did a show. So now here January thirteenth, we're ten

207
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 1: months in. Yes, um, and it feels like it and

208
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 1: it yes. Now you've got a little bit different situation

209
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 1: because all your kids are out of your house. You

210
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 1: don't have anybody living with you full time anymore. I know,

211
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: your babysit, your grandkids and stuff like that over there

212
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 1: over there today. Yeah, so they're popping around sometimes. But man,

213
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 1: you get home from work in the evening and it's like,

214
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:32,079
Speaker 1: all right, um, dinner is the headliner of the night, right,

215
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 1: what are we having? And then after that it's like,

216
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:39,199
Speaker 1: and it's dark at five thirty. Oh. And that's what

217
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 1: we were all concerned about, right, Like, once the weather

218
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 1: started turning, you couldn't hang out on your back patio

219
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 1: or you know, do stuff outside, go for a walk

220
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: at night. We had a fire pit, you can do that.

221
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 1: But you know, it's freezing out. So we're in we're

222
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 1: into the duldrums of the winter months. It's bad and

223
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 1: so so this is what we will do. Okay, in

224
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:04,439
Speaker 1: addition to throwing out our Twitter poll, which is asking

225
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 1: you today, besides the quarterbacks, what is the number one

226
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 1: X factor for Bills Ravens on Saturday? What's the X

227
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 1: factor for the Bills that could mean the difference in

228
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 1: the game. What's the X factor for the Ravens that

229
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 1: can mean the difference in the game besides these two quarterbacks,

230
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 1: which I think everybody would agree are the two most

231
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 1: dynamic talents on the field or will be on Saturday Night.

232
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 1: So to add onto that, I think we're going to

233
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 1: request Steve, either a things that you've done during the

234
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 1: winter months of the pandemic that you think Steve and

235
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 1: I are capable of doing and enjoying outside inside I

236
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 1: don't care. And I think as a secondary choice, something

237
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 1: that you're streaming that you've happened upon that you really

238
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 1: like and you are binging right now and it's gobbling

239
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 1: up some of those precious hours of boredom in your

240
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 1: home in the evening, and I will give you one

241
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 1: right now. Okay, this is not a new or cutting

242
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:11,679
Speaker 1: edge series, Steve. This was This is actually I was

243
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: surprised because when I pulled it up on the streaming

244
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,679
Speaker 1: service which will remain nameless, I'll give it to you

245
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 1: in the break. I was surprised to see it was

246
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 1: from twenty fourteen, so it's not new, right, but my

247
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 1: brother in law recommended it to us and it's pretty good. Now,

248
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 1: I will preface this by saying that I am you know,

249
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:38,319
Speaker 1: it's somewhat of a history guy. I like American history

250
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: a lot Civil War history in particular, but also Revolutionary War,

251
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 1: a lot of the older stuff. And this is based

252
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 1: on George Washington's spies during the Revolutionary called Turn Turn.

253
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 1: That's right, I remember seeing that. So I am going

254
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 1: to tell you there are four seasons to gobble up too,

255
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 1: so you can stick with it for a while. Even

256
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 1: if you binge heavy one night, you should still have

257
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 1: a little more meat on the bone. Now, I will

258
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 1: say this, the first season kind of kind of moves along.

259
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 1: There's way too much character development first season, and so

260
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 1: there's not a lot of action, shall we say, um,

261
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 1: But season two is really good and I think we're

262
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 1: just we just finished season two and it's getting good now.

263
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 1: Now it's I'm I'm like, as you say, I'm neck

264
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 1: deep in it now and it's something that I'm looking

265
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 1: forward to, you know, each night when you know we're

266
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: not tied up with a football game or what have

267
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 1: you where. And so it's it's myself, my wife. We

268
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 1: got my son rolled into it because he's a big

269
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 1: history guy, and he was struggling with it because he was,

270
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 1: you know, he's looking for battles in the field that stuff,

271
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 1: and there wasn't a lot of that the first season

272
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 1: or two, but we're we're into the throws of it

273
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 1: now and it's it's getting good. So that would be

274
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: one recommendation that I would give you, um, but we'll

275
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 1: open it up to our listeners and viewers as well.

276
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 1: So in addition to hitting us up on the Twitter pole,

277
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 1: besides the quarterbacks, what's the number one X factor for

278
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 1: Bill's raven Saturday helped me and Steve battle the duldrums

279
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 1: of the pandemic, And we will take any and all

280
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 1: suggestions on either leisure activities outdoors. Isn't the skating rink

281
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 1: open in Easter or I think it is? Yes, it is.

282
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 1: I can't do skating right now with my ribs, I can't.

283
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 1: I can't do no, No, I can't. I can't skate.

284
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 1: I'm worse than the ten. I find that hard to believe.

285
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 1: I never skated it. I grew up in Kansas. Well,

286
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 1: when I grew up, there wasn't. This is the true.

287
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 1: There wasn't a single rink in the state when I

288
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 1: was going to school. Now they got even like a

289
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 1: recreational shortly after I graduated, they got one and it

290
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 1: was and they got it like a a double A

291
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 1: hockey team which Wind And there was a hockey team

292
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 1: there northwand which and that is so appropriate you can laugh.

293
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: But flat Kansas. The word Kansas is a Native American

294
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 1: word for wind. Oh is it no kidding? Yeah, look

295
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 1: at the stuff we are learning today, and it's this

296
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 1: is fantastic. And I went to Dodge City Community College

297
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 1: in my earlier years, and it was at the time

298
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 1: I was there, the windiest city in the country Constant

299
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 1: fifteen Constant fifteen mile prior south Wind, Constant and h

300
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 1: So the rink comes up and I started That's where

301
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 1: I first started getting into hockey. It was the Edmonton

302
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 1: Oilers like farm team, farm team, and so you go

303
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 1: to the hockey and back then when it was the

304
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 1: A and it was the eighties, early mid eights, and

305
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 1: it was a rockham Sockam League. I got story after story,

306
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 1: and I didn't know anything about I'm honecky. I was

307
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 1: pretty sure that when the puck went into the into

308
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: the fish net that it counted. That's all I knew.

309
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do you one better. So my dad is

310
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 1: stationed up in Alaska in the army in the late sixties, right,

311
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,159
Speaker 1: and they were all worried about the Russians throughout The

312
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:11,199
Speaker 1: Russians are coming over through Alaska. They're gonna invade, you know,

313
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:15,399
Speaker 1: during Vietnam and whatever. So he's stationed in Alaska and

314
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 1: him and my mom used to go to minor league

315
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 1: hockey games up there in Anchoring Steve in the late sixties,

316
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:30,119
Speaker 1: early seventies. It was a street fight slapshot. Yeah, and

317
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,439
Speaker 1: the fights in the stands sometimes were better than the

318
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 1: ones in Risk in Alaska. Oh yeah, my daughter lives

319
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:41,400
Speaker 1: right right Russo it's you know, he said, they said

320
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 1: it was something. He said. It got to a point

321
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 1: where he could only go with his army buddies. He

322
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 1: couldn't he couldn't bring my mom. Oh yeah, anymore, it

323
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,639
Speaker 1: was too bad. Well, it's unbelievable because you know, you

324
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 1: got and it's the old joke and went to a

325
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 1: fight last night and a hockey game broke out. Yeah,

326
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,679
Speaker 1: it was. I got a story that I'll never forget

327
00:17:57,760 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 1: that happened in one of those games. I don't know

328
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 1: if I it's I'll narrow it down. Brand new player

329
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 1: comes in for the Wichita team from another team he's

330
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:09,120
Speaker 1: in and he's a he's an enforcer. He's an enforcer, right,

331
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: So he's brand new with the team and everyone's like, okay,

332
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:16,119
Speaker 1: let's you know, and it's almost accepted that this guy's gonna,

333
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: you know, instigate something. Right. So literally the first period

334
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:27,200
Speaker 1: he gets on and runs their goalie and I mean

335
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 1: it's like a yard sale. The gloves, everything's up in

336
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 1: the air, everything right. He turned, he slashes the goalie

337
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 1: coming across the crease and gets and cross checks and

338
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 1: other guy's heat. All he does is spin around face

339
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 1: the goalie skating backwards, just coasting, and he's like for

340
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 1: me to you, he's like the six foot and socially distance.

341
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 1: The goalie comes after him, brownie. The guy takes his stick,

342
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 1: turns it backwards where the cook's coming away from his

343
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: hands instead of with his it's going like towards the goalie,

344
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 1: and goes bang bang with the front the nose of

345
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 1: the stick on that guy's face mask twice as hard

346
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 1: as he could do, right on the guy's eyepiece. Of course,

347
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 1: the guy's mask on it heads. I was like the

348
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:22,440
Speaker 1: place came apart. Oh, the fans were like I was

349
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:26,160
Speaker 1: part of a nineteen seventies hockey movie. It was unbelievable.

350
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 1: I was like, is that what slapshot? Is a lot

351
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:34,880
Speaker 1: more accurate than people might realize today. I couldn't believe

352
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 1: what I saw, at least in terms of portraying seventies

353
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: and back then in early eighties minor league hockey. How

354
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 1: long has it been since you've heard a match penalty?

355
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 1: Yeah it's been a minute, right, Yeah, this guy's a

356
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 1: match penalty. That guy's a match penalty. So which means

357
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 1: if for those of you don't, that means those guys

358
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:53,159
Speaker 1: for the rest of the season can't play against that

359
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 1: team anymore. Whenever their team plays whoever it was that

360
00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:01,120
Speaker 1: the Wind was playing that night, that guy can't play.

361
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:05,719
Speaker 1: I still like them. I'm not a huge fan of

362
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 1: singular nicknames, you know, for teams, you know, like the

363
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 1: Orlando Magic, you know, the Miami Heat, what, Yeah, the

364
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 1: big names. But I kind of like the Wichita Wind.

365
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 1: I like the sound of that. Yeah, although I do

366
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 1: like State Shockers. I love that name. Yeah. The Lightning Bolton, Yeah, yeah,

367
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 1: they had the good one. The song that they played

368
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 1: when the when the club took the ice was the

369
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 1: old Christopher Cross soong ride like the wind oh night.

370
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 1: Yeah right, it's great, embracing it fully, I love it

371
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: and experienced baby it was great. Yeah yeah, And so

372
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 1: it was. It was absolutely unbelieving if you went to

373
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 1: one of those games that it was absolutely mandatory that

374
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 1: were that there was at least two fights, two fights

375
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 1: lines on the number of fights because you know that

376
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 1: because back then all those guys on that ice were

377
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,199
Speaker 1: trying to get up to the next level, right, so

378
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,400
Speaker 1: they had to make a name. And I thought, wow,

379
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:04,680
Speaker 1: this is you know, it's probably not like that at

380
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:09,399
Speaker 1: the NHL level, right, So what do I know? So

381
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:13,919
Speaker 1: I go to Northwestern University and I'm you know, so

382
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 1: one of my buddies goes, hey, you want to go

383
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:17,639
Speaker 1: to the black Hawks game tonight. I go, yeah, he goes,

384
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 1: I got tickets and he he goes there standing room only,

385
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:21,879
Speaker 1: but I go, cool, and this is the old Chicago station, right,

386
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 1: So it was the place was literally a barn. So

387
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 1: we're standing up there top of the arena at center.

388
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:32,159
Speaker 1: We're I'm leaning on a pipe a railing right for

389
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 1: the game. During the game, there were three major fights

390
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:41,680
Speaker 1: on the ice bench clearing yard sale, the whole nine yards.

391
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 1: Even better, there were two enormous melee's in the stands,

392
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 1: the black Hawks and the Red Wings, and I thought, well, yeah,

393
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,920
Speaker 1: that'll do it. I was like, you know, I can

394
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 1: get into hockey now if it's that way at every level,

395
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:58,879
Speaker 1: I'm in. I'm in, so I you know, because I'm not.

396
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 1: I'm not, you know. So that was my that's great.

397
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 1: So now I'm as part of the deal. So that's yes,

398
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 1: that's outstanding. Yes, Wichita win. So that's why I don't

399
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 1: skate at the East Aurora ice Rink. We we finally

400
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 1: got back around to it, but yeah, there it is.

401
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,159
Speaker 1: I'm just surprised being as a as athletic as you

402
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:20,919
Speaker 1: were or are, hey, you know what I mean. Like,

403
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 1: but being it's you know, be coming from an athletic

404
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,159
Speaker 1: background like that, you should be. I mean, you just

405
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:31,919
Speaker 1: have the inherent innate balance to to pick that up quickly,

406
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 1: I would think, especially in a recreational I'm not. I

407
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 1: can do it. I mean I can skate around them,

408
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 1: but no, I mean I don't. I'm not pirouetting either,

409
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:44,119
Speaker 1: but right, I mean I can barely. I can't really

410
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 1: stop that. Well, that's what the walls there and I'm right,

411
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 1: So there you go. So that's I kind of play

412
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 1: it this but anyway that I'm I'm I'm interested to

413
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 1: hear what people are doing to pass the time. YEA,

414
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,919
Speaker 1: so well swimming services, I should have stalk, So we'll

415
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,679
Speaker 1: so we'll do that. We'll take those suggests in addition

416
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,439
Speaker 1: to who you believe is the number one X factor

417
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:05,919
Speaker 1: for the Bills or what. It doesn't have to be

418
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,439
Speaker 1: a who. It could be a what also, you know,

419
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 1: like it could be something like, uh, the Bills return game,

420
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 1: or I mean, it could be anything. Any any component

421
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 1: of either team could be the difference. You know, maybe

422
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 1: it's uh the Bills, uh certain personnel grouping that you

423
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 1: like in this matchup, Like maybe it's ten personnel. I

424
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:29,880
Speaker 1: think ten personnel is the X factor for the Bills

425
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,680
Speaker 1: because you know, the Ravens don't have four corners that

426
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:34,639
Speaker 1: they can put out there to cover our guys. Whatever

427
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:36,640
Speaker 1: you think it is, it's a what, it's a who,

428
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:39,399
Speaker 1: could even be like momentum. I mean, I don't know

429
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 1: whatever you think it is. We're taking any and all

430
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 1: comers here. Yeah, it's a chance for you to give

431
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,959
Speaker 1: us an insight as to what Bills fans think this

432
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 1: game is gonna look like when they say what the

433
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 1: X factors get. So we lead off with Joe in

434
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 1: North Carolina at eight O three five fifty. Joe, what

435
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 1: do you have for us? You're on one bills live. Yeah,

436
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 1: it's I'm out here, North Collins, North Collins. Sorry, I'd

437
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:07,639
Speaker 1: like your opinion on this. Deshaun Watson, what's going on

438
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 1: down there? Him wanting out? You know, when when you

439
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 1: sign a contract to play on a team, you agree

440
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 1: to money, you agree to let to a contract, you

441
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 1: agree to be that employee like we all were or

442
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 1: are at some time. UM, I've never heard of asking

443
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:26,479
Speaker 1: an employee who who should be the boss and who

444
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 1: should be the GM. I don't I don't understand that. UM.

445
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:34,160
Speaker 1: I get a little upset watching these talk shows before

446
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 1: your show comes on and they're all talking about, yeah,

447
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,159
Speaker 1: he should leave. He's not happy with it. He's not

448
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 1: he's being disrespected. Wait a minute, play to play a game.

449
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 1: If you don't like what's going on with the coach

450
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:49,239
Speaker 1: or the GM or the organization. If you feel like

451
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:54,159
Speaker 1: you're being not respected, then don't sign another contract. Go

452
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:57,160
Speaker 1: to a different team. You know, remember Jim Kelly didn't

453
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 1: want to play in the coal It took him a while.

454
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 1: He came here eventually, and he loved it so but

455
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 1: he did what a respectable person would do. He just said, no,

456
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 1: I'm not going there. I don't understand. I get her

457
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,639
Speaker 1: a little upset listening to all this Deshaun Watson and

458
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,439
Speaker 1: he should leave and all that. I'm just looking for

459
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 1: your comment on it. Yeah, hang up and listen to

460
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 1: what you guys got to say. Thanks for taking my call,

461
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 1: Thanks Joe. Yeah, here's the thing, and he's right. I mean,

462
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 1: it's hard for anybody to get behind an athlete who's

463
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:29,679
Speaker 1: making one hundred and fifty six million bucks over the

464
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:33,239
Speaker 1: next four years or five years to complain about, you know,

465
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 1: what's going on. But here's what you gotta know too,

466
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:40,360
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson became generationally wealthy the moment he's got drafted,

467
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:44,639
Speaker 1: and now it's about more than that for him. And

468
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:48,880
Speaker 1: plus it's it's also about watching the company you work

469
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 1: for makes some ill advised decisions, just fumble and stumble

470
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:58,199
Speaker 1: and do stupid things or that. And I've heard this

471
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:02,400
Speaker 1: too about terby the guy that's in charge down there.

472
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 1: There's some there's some doubts about his you know, his

473
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 1: qualifications and what his real what his real qualifications are,

474
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 1: and what his real motivations are. So um, certainly, and

475
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 1: here's another thing too. The Texans have misplayed this for

476
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 1: two years, certainly trading away DeAndre Hopkins, trading four legit

477
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:29,679
Speaker 1: Laramie Tuns. Although he's a good player, they traded him

478
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,159
Speaker 1: without a contract. I mean, he was gonna have all

479
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 1: kinds of leverage in that deal. I mean, they've done

480
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:38,440
Speaker 1: some things that do not make business sense for an

481
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:40,199
Speaker 1: NFL team. They did two or three of them in

482
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:45,479
Speaker 1: a row. And then the other thing they did wrong was,

483
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:50,360
Speaker 1: by by and large, by all the reports, they told

484
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson that he was gonna they wanted him to

485
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,640
Speaker 1: be in this. They said the decision to be part

486
00:26:57,640 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 1: of the decision because they knew, you know, they knew

487
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,160
Speaker 1: this guy on board with him. And then they went

488
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 1: around him and stabbed him in the back and did

489
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 1: something else. Well, they hired Nick Cassario without contacting him

490
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 1: at all, and he was told he was going to

491
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:12,399
Speaker 1: be part of the vetting process for a GM and

492
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 1: all of this too. Anybody, and you Joe North Collins

493
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 1: and me and Brownie. If you're lied to out and

494
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:22,680
Speaker 1: out buy your employers, how much of a right do

495
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:25,359
Speaker 1: you have to be angry no matter what your contract says.

496
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 1: That's where Deshaun Watson is right now. And I think

497
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:30,920
Speaker 1: you know he said, well, you signed the contract. Well,

498
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:33,160
Speaker 1: when he signed the contract, that was two years ago.

499
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:38,119
Speaker 1: The dynamics have changed dramatically with that organization since he

500
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 1: signed that contract. They got rid of his best receiver

501
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 1: for a running back and a draft choice that was

502
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:49,360
Speaker 1: not considered to be equal value by anybody on the planet.

503
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,159
Speaker 1: They fired the head coach, whether he liked him or

504
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:56,439
Speaker 1: not as unclear, and then he was told here that

505
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:58,880
Speaker 1: he was going to be part of the rebuilding process

506
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:00,959
Speaker 1: in terms of who they were going to hire as

507
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 1: general manager and who they were going to hire as

508
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 1: a head coach. He was left in the dark for

509
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 1: the better part of the last two weeks. We all

510
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 1: find out Nick Cassio is the new GM, and he's like,

511
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:10,199
Speaker 1: what the hell is going on? I thought I was

512
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:13,160
Speaker 1: going to be talked to about this, So that's why

513
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:17,680
Speaker 1: he's so disgruntled. And not only that, they hired a

514
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 1: very expensive consulting firm to vet the process of all

515
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:29,879
Speaker 1: the candidates, the firm made a recommendation, and the Texans

516
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:34,879
Speaker 1: picked the guy that was off their radar completely and

517
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 1: they just went completely away from the expensive professionals who

518
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 1: gave him the advice that, yeah, they paid for. They

519
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 1: went off the page and hired somebody else. So Deshaun

520
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 1: sitting there going, not only do you not talk to me,

521
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 1: the people you did talk to you ignored. Yeah, And

522
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 1: I think the other thing at work here is players

523
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 1: in professional sports wield more power than maybe they ever

524
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 1: have before. It started with superstar athletes as far back

525
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 1: as like nineteen eighty. I remember Magic Johnson got into

526
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 1: it with his head coach, Paul Westhead with the Lakers,

527
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 1: and it was Magic or Paul Westhead. Guess who The

528
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 1: organization sided with Magic Johnson and then they won five

529
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 1: more recently and Carson Wentz right, and Doug Peterson. But

530
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:28,720
Speaker 1: that's how it afford to get rid of Carson Wentz.

531
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 1: That's how long it's been going. Yeah, I mean it's

532
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 1: it's happened for the better part of the last thirty

533
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 1: or forty years, and more often than not, the player wins,

534
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 1: especially when he has the level of Casher that Deshaun

535
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 1: Watson has even in a league where there aren't fully

536
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 1: guaranteed contracts in most cases, there's a lot of guaranteed

537
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 1: money in Deshaun Watson's current contract. Let's not kid ourselves,

538
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 1: but at the quarterback position, that player wields more power

539
00:29:56,240 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 1: than than some might realize. And we've seen it time

540
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 1: and time and time again, where a player usually wins

541
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 1: and coach and or front office executive more often than

542
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 1: not loses. And this is another example of that. And

543
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 1: that's why the Houston Texans should take this disappointment on

544
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 1: the part of Watson very seriously. Otherwise he's going to

545
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 1: demand to be out. And once you have a player

546
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 1: that doesn't want to be there anymore, you can't fix it.

547
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 1: It's very hard to fix. It creates an acrimonious atmosphere.

548
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 1: It drags down your entire team. It's a distraction that

549
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 1: cannot be avoided or ignored and you just have to

550
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 1: move on. And after finally getting it right in the

551
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 1: draft with getting a franchise quarterback is one of the

552
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 1: five best signal callers in the league. They got a

553
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 1: lot of fix into do in a hurry. Otherwise it's

554
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 1: going to become irreparable, and it maybe they're already. We

555
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 1: don't know. So enough about that, we have to take

556
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 1: a break, but we will get to our phone calls

557

Speaker 1: We'll put Ralph on hoole, Ralph, I heard somebody third,

Speaker 1: I thought I heard her. Russell, is that you Ralph?

576
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 1: Stop stop? I don't think he's there. Oh boy, you

577
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:15,360
Speaker 1: always get the feeling that guy's laying there clutching his

578
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 1: chest or something. He can't ranswer the right, can't it.

579
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 1: Ralph laid the phone down. I went to the bathroom

580
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 1: at least something. Yeah, who knows we've got all because

581
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 1: we do get calls once in a a while when they say,

582
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 1: don't take the call because whoever it is listening to

583
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 1: the show, I just want to listen to this, want

584
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 1: to listen to the show. So which is maybe that

585
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 1: was Ralph? Maybe? Uh we go from Ralph to Colton

586
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 1: in Baltimore and uh we do this with with caution.

587
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 1: But Colton, what do you have? You're on one Bill's Live. Um.

588
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 1: I think that's the X factor. Oh, thank you for

589
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 1: having me on X factor for this game. It's the

590
00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 1: linebacking corps Um Tremond using his six five two fifty

591
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:05,960
Speaker 1: train to make a brick wall for the elusive running

592
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 1: backs and Lamar Jackson to stop them for a minimal

593
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 1: game this week, Ye Afraid of the Ravens defense because

594
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 1: I watched him every week I'm in Baltimore. Yeah, I'm

595
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 1: not afraid of the passing game. I'm afraid of that.

596
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 1: That's it. Tell me why you're not afraid of Baltimore's defense.

597
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:30,360
Speaker 1: What has you so confident? I'm just I'm watching these

598
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 1: games and they sometimes they look well, they're not consistent.

599
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 1: They'll have really good games and they'll have really bad games.

600
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 1: They're not consistent. Okay, all right, fair enough, appreciate the call, Colton. Thanks.

601
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 1: I will say this based on what Colton was addressing.

602
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 1: He talked about, you know, the importance of train Tremaine

603
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 1: Edmonds as far as slowing down their rushing attack, and

604
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 1: you know, I would tend to agree with that. I

605
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:56,600
Speaker 1: thought coach Fraser had some interesting comments this week when

606
00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 1: he addressed the media. He was talking about the importance

607
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:02,560
Speaker 1: of Edmunds and Milano and trying to really kind of

608
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 1: keep this rushing attack under wraps, just the amount of

609
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:09,880
Speaker 1: ground they can cover, getting too spots even in open space,

610
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:15,759
Speaker 1: you know, trying to be secure fundamentally sound tacklers. You know,

611
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 1: we saw Milano's playing time go up to about one

612
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 1: hundred percent last week. I mean, he's finally all the

613
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 1: way back, and the timing couldn't be better for this team.

614
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 1: I think, right, yeah, you're right. I mean, Milano is

615
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 1: arriving right on time. I think the thing with this is,

616
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,440
Speaker 1: and I see it a lot, is you've got to

617
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 1: find a way to make Lamar goes sideways. You can't

618
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:42,280
Speaker 1: give him that because he's a great runner of the football.

619
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 1: He's a quarterback. He can throw the football, but when

620
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:47,799
Speaker 1: he's got the ball tucked under his arm, he's a

621
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:50,839
Speaker 1: really good runner. Even by running back standards, he's good.

622
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:54,719
Speaker 1: He's faster than most of them. He's big, and he's

623
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 1: get shifty as well, so he can leave you standing still.

624
00:34:57,640 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 1: And there's you know, the highlight that you've been playing.

625
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 1: We've seen a bunch about last year's Week fourteen match

626
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:06,440
Speaker 1: was when Milano comes through untouched. Lamar gives him a

627
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:09,720
Speaker 1: little shimmy right in a phone booth and Milano just whips.

628
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 1: He just falls down. You can't lunge at Lamar. You

629
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 1: gotta let him run to you. And that means you've

630
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 1: got to have guys heard in him like he's I

631
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:20,319
Speaker 1: think the thing that's that's the hard part. The thing

632
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 1: that throws people off about him is for such a

633
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 1: long angular athlete, he can cut on a dime. And

634
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:30,920
Speaker 1: I think that that just flies in the face of

635
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 1: conventional wisdom. Like they see how long and angular an

636
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:36,759
Speaker 1: athlete he is, and they're like, well, okay, well I'll

637
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:38,799
Speaker 1: just heard him this way, he won't be able to

638
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:40,239
Speaker 1: cut around me. And then all of a sudden he

639
00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 1: puts his foot in the ground and he's by them,

640
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:46,239
Speaker 1: and they're like, WHOA. Like his agility for a man

641
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 1: that long and angular is very very rare, Like you

642
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 1: shouldn't be able to have change of direction skills like

643
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 1: he has at that height and length, if you know

644
00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Like he's a high cut athlete's and

645
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 1: high athletes can't always has shifty Yeah, you know, it's

646
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 1: like a Lashawn McCoy, for example, ground his change of

647
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:10,480
Speaker 1: direction is elite, no question about it. And he's got

648
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:13,880
Speaker 1: elite speed as well. Yeah. Let's go back to the phones.

649
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:16,799
Speaker 1: We go to Paul and Boston. Paul, what do you

650
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 1: have for us? You're on one bills live, Yes, thanks

651
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:24,280
Speaker 1: for taking my call. Um, you hear a nerve today.

652
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 1: I have to say with both talking points, Um, let's

653
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 1: take the first one, the X factor. I really believe

654
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 1: that the tight ends for both teams are the X

655
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 1: factors in this game you take. For two years now,

656
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:42,719
Speaker 1: I don't think the Bills have had an answer for Tiens.

657
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 1: I mean, and take a look at what Doyle did

658
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:50,399
Speaker 1: last weekend. Yeah, uh, he just stayed, builds launch. And

659
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 1: when you look at Baltimore, that's one of their their

660
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:56,719
Speaker 1: go to situations. I mean, Andrews can catch the ball

661
00:36:56,719 --> 00:37:00,239
Speaker 1: over the middle, but they've got this other guy, the

662
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 1: number forty two, Okay, a converted defensive lineman, and he's

663
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 1: six foot three, he wasted three hundred eleven pounds, and

664
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:13,399
Speaker 1: he crushes defensive backs. It's almost as if he's got

665
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:17,680
Speaker 1: Jackson's got seven offensive linemen on the field all the time,

666
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 1: and it helps him to get around the ends too.

667
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 1: On the other on the other side, I mean, if

668
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 1: you take a look at what the Bills are going

669
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:29,200
Speaker 1: to face, I think they should go with two tight ends.

670
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 1: And for the same reason, I think they should mirror

671
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 1: with Baltimore's doing. Because the defensive line for Baltimore, they

672
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:39,000
Speaker 1: could call them linebackers if they want to, but Judon

673
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:41,800
Speaker 1: is no linebacker. I mean they put a five defensive

674
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 1: linemen every time and then they bring a free, a

675
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:48,920
Speaker 1: free blitzer in and the Bills just are not going

676
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 1: to have an answer for that. Josh is going to

677
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:53,960
Speaker 1: be running for his life through the whole game unless

678
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:56,880
Speaker 1: they bring somebody else in to help out. It's just

679
00:37:56,960 --> 00:38:00,359
Speaker 1: my opinion. I think definitely a tight ends for both

680
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 1: teams are significant. Also, the other talking point, I'll make

681
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 1: it real quick, but I've been living in my basement

682
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:10,960
Speaker 1: for ten months now, right. It's pretty nice on a

683
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:15,759
Speaker 1: pool table, big screen, TV, fridge, elliptical, but the conversation

684
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 1: lately has been getting out of hand, and when you

685
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:24,200
Speaker 1: consider I'm the only one in the basement. Yeah, absolutely,

686
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:28,959
Speaker 1: That's all I had to say. Things. Yeah, good tight

687
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:34,360
Speaker 1: ends man. I'm John Harbaugh notices Dawson Knox. He mentioned

688
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:37,759
Speaker 1: him in his conference call this week. So Knox and

689
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:39,720
Speaker 1: what he's been able to do here down this stretch

690
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:42,759
Speaker 1: has caught the eye of the Ravens head coach. Um.

691
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:46,759
Speaker 1: They are not dismissing him out of hand. We know

692
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:50,040
Speaker 1: what Andrews can do for the Ravens attack, and we

693
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 1: can talk about their fullback who was kind of a

694
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:54,840
Speaker 1: freak in nature as well. But I think Knox is

695
00:38:54,840 --> 00:39:00,239
Speaker 1: an intriguing X factor here because even last week he

696
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 1: was still forgotten. He's forgotten in the back of the

697
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:05,000
Speaker 1: end zone. I mean, I know he leaked late on

698
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 1: the play right, but he's left all by himself for

699
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 1: a touchdown. Yeah. The fullback he's talking about is Patrick Ricard.

700
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:15,839
Speaker 1: Who's the Who's this three hundred pound fullback. Here's the thing,

701
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:19,160
Speaker 1: I don't I get it now. The Baltimore tight ends

702
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 1: are a thing. There's a there's a bunch of them.

703
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:23,239
Speaker 1: They play them a lot. They throw them the ball,

704
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 1: and Lamar has not shown the propensity to throw the

705
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:28,920
Speaker 1: boot football to the edges of the field. He likes

706
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:32,439
Speaker 1: it between the numbers that brings these tight ends into play,

707
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 1: and for that reason, the Colts use them. I mean,

708
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:38,879
Speaker 1: the the Ravens use him a ton. On the other

709
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:41,439
Speaker 1: side of it, yeah, Dawson Knox could do some stuff.

710
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:43,640
Speaker 1: He's gonna get some reps in this game. But I

711
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:47,400
Speaker 1: don't want the Bills to feel like they've got to

712
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:52,440
Speaker 1: reinvent their offense to beat this team. They shouldn't if

713
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:54,879
Speaker 1: they If they run their offense the way they want

714
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:57,719
Speaker 1: to run it, and choose the matchups that they think

715
00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:02,920
Speaker 1: they've got. I've got I want to know of these

716
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:08,720
Speaker 1: guys who's gonna be on the bills, like Marcus Peters

717
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:13,320
Speaker 1: and Marlin Humphrey too, really good. We know Marlon Humphrey

718
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:15,840
Speaker 1: when they're in a nickel package, he goes into the slot,

719
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:19,480
Speaker 1: so he'll be the guy covering Beasley when Beasley's on

720
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:22,239
Speaker 1: the field, which conceivably is going to be most of

721
00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:23,880
Speaker 1: the game. I mean, this is a team that plays

722
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:26,960
Speaker 1: eleven or ten personnel eighty five percent of the time.

723
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:33,640
Speaker 1: So Jimmy Smith, Marlon Humphrey and and Marcus Peters, thank you,

724
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:35,880
Speaker 1: are going to be the three corners on the field

725
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:37,680
Speaker 1: most of the game for them. And when they have

726
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:41,200
Speaker 1: when they're going against eleven personnel, Humphrey is usually the

727
00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:45,239
Speaker 1: slot guy who's matching up with Gabriel Davis in four

728
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:51,040
Speaker 1: wide And is Humphrey and Peters Are they gonna win

729
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:54,279
Speaker 1: every rep on the same rep so that you don't

730
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:59,279
Speaker 1: have John Brown or Steph Diggs or Cole Beasley to

731
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:05,160
Speaker 1: throw too. Yeah? And uh, Anthony Anthony Averett and Gabriel Davis.

732
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:08,680
Speaker 1: I like Gabriel Davis. I'm sorry, Yeah, I mean I

733
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:12,759
Speaker 1: they're gonna be forced to cover guys. And if if

734
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:16,120
Speaker 1: the Bills go into the slot and they put you know,

735
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:18,279
Speaker 1: Marlon Humphrey down on the slot, what happens if the

736
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:21,720
Speaker 1: slot is Gabe Davis and the outside guy is Steph Diggs?

737
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:24,919
Speaker 1: How are they going to handle the trips formation off

738
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:28,560
Speaker 1: the tight end with you know, their offensive tackle and

739
00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:30,719
Speaker 1: Steph Diggs lined up right there outside of him, and

740
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:33,319
Speaker 1: then Beasley and John Brown behind him or vice versa

741
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:35,239
Speaker 1: in whatever way, or what are you gonna do if

742
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:37,400
Speaker 1: you put Diggs by himself to the to the wide

743
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:40,720
Speaker 1: side and you've got that cluster formation to the left,

744
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:44,360
Speaker 1: to the to the narrow side, to the boundary side,

745
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:46,120
Speaker 1: what are you gonna how they gonna max match up

746
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 1: with that? And the Bills should have a plan for

747
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:50,680
Speaker 1: all of that, And it'll depend on what you know.

748
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:54,839
Speaker 1: The Baltimore Ravens field. Their guys can do um. I've

749
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:57,800
Speaker 1: said it before and I'll say it again. The Ravens

750
00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:03,160
Speaker 1: play ultra physical on the side on particularly in crucial downs.

751
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 1: And if that's the case, you know you've got to

752
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 1: be ready for that. And you know there's a lot

753
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:12,160
Speaker 1: of ways to get around that. Even for a coaching staff,

754
00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:15,160
Speaker 1: But it's gonna If they're gonna do that and play

755
00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:19,839
Speaker 1: ultra physical, they better hope that. You know, our guys,

756
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:21,880
Speaker 1: you know, the Bills, don't get loose. I mean, because

757
00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:24,880
Speaker 1: the Bills have carved up man coverage a ton. I

758
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:27,400
Speaker 1: mean it's been those have been big games with this

759
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:30,080
Speaker 1: man coverage thing. Oh, if they want to, If they

760
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:32,120
Speaker 1: want to play man coverage, I'm all about it. I

761
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, I'm not convinced they're gonna play a

762
00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:37,000
Speaker 1: lot of it. I think they might play it in spots,

763
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:39,680
Speaker 1: but I don't think they're gonna play it with any

764
00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:42,040
Speaker 1: If they watch the film of the Bills games this year,

765
00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:45,200
Speaker 1: I want to believe that a veteran defend the coordinator

766
00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:47,400
Speaker 1: like Wink Martindale is not going to play man coverage

767
00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:53,160
Speaker 1: to any great degree. Is Marlon Humphries or Marcus Peters.

768
00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:58,160
Speaker 1: Are they better than Jalen Ramsey Because I would say no,

769
00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:04,080
Speaker 1: because our boys, Steph Diggs caught the touchdown given up

770
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:06,920
Speaker 1: by Jalen Ramsey one on one in the red zone

771
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:08,600
Speaker 1: with the boundary as a helper in the back of

772
00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:11,480
Speaker 1: the end zone. He caught it right right on him.

773
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 1: I mean he went and he ran a circle around

774
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:16,359
Speaker 1: him to do it. So, if your guys are gonna

775
00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:18,720
Speaker 1: do that, and they're gonna do it for sixty minutes, Okay,

776
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:22,080
Speaker 1: you win. That's fine, you can win. Break time for

777
00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:24,359
Speaker 1: us more of your phone calls. When we return, we're

778
00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:27,160
Speaker 1: asking you what is the number one X factor for

779
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 1: the Bills and the Ravens in this game, besides those

780
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:33,000
Speaker 1: two quarterbacks. Let us know what you think and if

781
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:34,920
Speaker 1: you have anything to help Steve and I with our

782
00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:41,400
Speaker 1: pandemic shuddered boredom. We're taking any and all suggestions to

783
00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:43,880
Speaker 1: pass the time in the evenings when it's pitch blacked

784
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:48,800
Speaker 1: out twenty eight degrees and we're stuck twiddling our thumbs.

785
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:51,920
Speaker 1: Take any and all suggestions when we return here on

786
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:54,080
Speaker 1: One Bills Live, presented by Kalid to Health, it's Buffalo

787
00:43:54,120 --> 00:44:11,480
Speaker 1: Bills Radio, Chris Brown, Steve Tasker, One Bills Live Wednesday edition,

788
00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:14,440
Speaker 1: asking you to give us what you believe to be

789
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:16,440
Speaker 1: the X factor for the Bills in this game, the

790
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:19,799
Speaker 1: X factor for the Ravens in this game, besides the

791
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:23,200
Speaker 1: two quarterbacks. Also coming up in a little over an hour,

792
00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:27,000
Speaker 1: CBS Sports, Evan Washburn will be joining us he is

793
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:30,239
Speaker 1: Baltimore based. Even though we did the game, the wild

794
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:33,960
Speaker 1: Card game up here last week for CBS, he is

795
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:36,320
Speaker 1: Baltimore based and has his finger on the pulse of

796
00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:38,480
Speaker 1: the Ravens. So we'll check in with him in the

797
00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:40,960
Speaker 1: third hour of our show. But for now, we go

798
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:45,080
Speaker 1: back to the phones, and there we begin with Jim

799
00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:47,000
Speaker 1: and Raleigh. Jim, what do you have for us? You're

800
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:50,359
Speaker 1: on one bills live. Hey guys, how are you doing today?

801
00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:54,720
Speaker 1: Good taking the call? Sure? Good. So my X factor

802
00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:57,440
Speaker 1: is going to be two things, and they're kind of

803
00:44:57,480 --> 00:45:01,919
Speaker 1: tied together. One is offensive way calling and the other

804
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:10,840
Speaker 1: is the the looseness, relaxed attitude that we play with. Um.

805
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:15,360
Speaker 1: If you look at the Miami game versus the Colts game. Um,

806
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:18,120
Speaker 1: you know, in the Miami game, we were just out

807
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:23,560
Speaker 1: there playing loose, throwing the ball, you know. Um, and

808
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:26,960
Speaker 1: then it seems in the Colts game we tend stop,

809
00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:29,920
Speaker 1: we were real tight. I know, we had horrible field

810
00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:33,200
Speaker 1: position and things like that, but um, and the play

811
00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:37,080
Speaker 1: calling was a little bit more conservative. Um, you know,

812
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:41,239
Speaker 1: and the running. I'm just so concerned that we no

813
00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:44,480
Speaker 1: matter what we do, we cannot get away from this.

814
00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:48,120
Speaker 1: This UH need to run the ball or this pressure

815
00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:51,040
Speaker 1: or you know when when Zack Moss went down, I

816
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:53,600
Speaker 1: don't want to see anybody get hurt, but I was

817
00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:57,960
Speaker 1: actually relieved. Oh it's a running back. You know. We

818
00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:02,239
Speaker 1: need to throw the ball and play aggressive and loof

819
00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:05,480
Speaker 1: that's my X factor. What do you guys think? Yeah,

820
00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:08,520
Speaker 1: I mean it's a fair point. I will say that

821
00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:10,600
Speaker 1: when you are backed up in your own end, it

822
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:12,480
Speaker 1: does alter your play calling. You have to be a

823
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:15,200
Speaker 1: little bit more conservative. I mean, some teams deep in

824
00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:17,319
Speaker 1: their own end won't even run a pitch play for

825
00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:19,279
Speaker 1: fear of a fumble going into your own end zone.

826
00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:22,680
Speaker 1: So the play calling changes down there, just like it

827
00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:24,680
Speaker 1: changes in two minute drill when you have to throw

828
00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:28,520
Speaker 1: the ball. So yeah, I mean I get what you're saying.

829
00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:30,960
Speaker 1: But when you're backed up at your own five yard line,

830
00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:34,040
Speaker 1: it changes your play callers outlook on how you're going

831
00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:36,000
Speaker 1: to get out from the shadow of your own goal posts.

832
00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:38,359
Speaker 1: So you're hoping for a little breathing room so then

833
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:40,879
Speaker 1: you can open it up and be more creative. But yeah,

834
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:44,400
Speaker 1: I think unequivocally the team's field position in the first

835
00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:48,720
Speaker 1: half impacted the creativity of Brian Dable with his play calling,

836
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:50,839
Speaker 1: no question. Yeah. And you can say too that once

837
00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:52,800
Speaker 1: they got out of their own end zone there with

838
00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:55,759
Speaker 1: a two minute drill with one forty two left in

839
00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:58,359
Speaker 1: the game and the half, and they got away from

840
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:01,680
Speaker 1: their own end zone with that first uh Gabriel Davis

841
00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:03,279
Speaker 1: catch and they're out and there, and then they kind

842
00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:05,080
Speaker 1: of loosened up and they let it. They kind of

843
00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:08,319
Speaker 1: turned it loose, and it was like bing bing bing

844
00:47:08,360 --> 00:47:12,840
Speaker 1: bing down the field. And because of I think Brian Daboles,

845
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:16,839
Speaker 1: you know the knowledge. Listen, there's only two minutes left.

846
00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:19,000
Speaker 1: Let's go, you know, let's let's let's cut it loose

847
00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:21,759
Speaker 1: a little bit. And I'll tell you this, Jim, two

848
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:25,120
Speaker 1: things about what you said, I totally agree. I think

849
00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:28,120
Speaker 1: the job of to me, the best way to do

850
00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:31,120
Speaker 1: this is to make sure that your team does not

851
00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:35,400
Speaker 1: think about the consequences or the gravity of the game

852
00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:38,000
Speaker 1: or the consequence of a loss. What they need to

853
00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:40,239
Speaker 1: do is go out and have fun, play and cut it.

854
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:43,120
Speaker 1: Trust their discipline and their coaching to put them in

855
00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:45,279
Speaker 1: the right spots. They'll make the right plays. But you

856
00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:48,880
Speaker 1: got to make them play free, loose and easy, with

857
00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:50,799
Speaker 1: a lot of with a lot of fun. If you

858
00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:53,520
Speaker 1: can do that, they'll play better, no question about it.

859
00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:56,800
Speaker 1: And secondly, I'm with you as well, they got to

860
00:47:56,840 --> 00:47:59,239
Speaker 1: be who they are. I don't need to They don't

861
00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:02,960
Speaker 1: need to run the ball eighty five percent of the

862
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:04,840
Speaker 1: time and shorten the game to keep Lamar off the

863
00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:09,400
Speaker 1: field or whatever. No, do your thing. Man, you won,

864
00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:13,799
Speaker 1: You've won fourteen games this year. Turn it loose, you know,

865
00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:16,919
Speaker 1: just be you. That's a big attitude thing. I think.

866
00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:19,919
Speaker 1: Do you think there's any credence to the thought that

867
00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:23,720
Speaker 1: all of the talk for the better part since they've

868
00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:27,359
Speaker 1: clinched the division, basically all of the talk has been

869
00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:30,840
Speaker 1: the Bills haven't won a playoff game in twenty five years.

870
00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:34,600
Speaker 1: Hearing that for two weeks, do you think it crept

871
00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:37,239
Speaker 1: into the minds of some players where maybe they were

872
00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:40,759
Speaker 1: a little bit more tight last week than they had

873
00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:42,960
Speaker 1: been for the better part of the regular season. I

874
00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:45,000
Speaker 1: wonder if that got into the heads as some of

875
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:47,040
Speaker 1: the guys like, oh man, we really got to win

876
00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:48,640
Speaker 1: this game. I mean this, you know what I mean.

877
00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:51,680
Speaker 1: I wonder if guys got started Griffin a little bit,

878
00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:54,200
Speaker 1: it could could have and some of them I agree

879
00:48:54,200 --> 00:48:55,560
Speaker 1: with the call. I just thought some of them looked

880
00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:58,880
Speaker 1: a little tight. Both of these teams should be freed

881
00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:02,240
Speaker 1: of that. Yeah, Lamar was carrying that around for two years,

882
00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:04,719
Speaker 1: two full years, not being able to win a playoff game,

883
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:08,640
Speaker 1: being a starter, Josh, you know, this was his second

884
00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:10,480
Speaker 1: shot at it. I don't think it impacted him, but

885
00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:12,200
Speaker 1: I think there were some other players that were feeling

886
00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:15,160
Speaker 1: that maybe, And I think it's it's a point where

887
00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:17,160
Speaker 1: if if that's the case, it's probably the case for

888
00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:19,959
Speaker 1: both teams. And I think you got to you've gone, Yeah,

889
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:23,360
Speaker 1: You've got to come out and just relax. And I

890
00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:26,439
Speaker 1: think you hear a lot of guys from the I've

891
00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:28,200
Speaker 1: heard a lot of guys say this, you know, like

892
00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:30,879
Speaker 1: Terry Bradshaw, he won four Super Bowls, and he says,

893
00:49:30,920 --> 00:49:32,439
Speaker 1: the reason I played so well in the Super Bowls,

894
00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:34,080
Speaker 1: He goes, I walked out on that tunnel. I thought, man,

895
00:49:34,080 --> 00:49:36,120
Speaker 1: I I do not want to lose it. I'm so

896
00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:38,239
Speaker 1: afraid to lose this game. And if you get to

897
00:49:38,280 --> 00:49:41,360
Speaker 1: that point where it's it forces you to go for

898
00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:43,680
Speaker 1: it all the time because of your fear of losing.

899
00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:45,520
Speaker 1: That's a good place to be because I think in

900
00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:48,680
Speaker 1: these games some guys can compartmentalize that well. Others can't, right.

901
00:49:48,760 --> 00:49:50,480
Speaker 1: Other guys got to think like this game doesn't mean

902
00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:52,600
Speaker 1: anything and let's go play and have fun. That's the

903
00:49:52,600 --> 00:49:54,400
Speaker 1: way they get. But however, you get there to the

904
00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:56,920
Speaker 1: point where you're gonna play fast, loose and free and easy,

905
00:49:57,200 --> 00:49:59,480
Speaker 1: that's where you've got to get. That's where you've got

906
00:49:59,480 --> 00:50:01,400
Speaker 1: to get my opinion, because I'll tell you this, I

907
00:50:01,440 --> 00:50:05,439
Speaker 1: struggled with it. I obviously, you know I was wanting

908
00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:07,000
Speaker 1: I mean I went to four of those Super Bowls,

909
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:09,120
Speaker 1: and we want a lot of playoff games, and we

910
00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:10,759
Speaker 1: played a lot of I played pretty good in a

911
00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:13,200
Speaker 1: lot of big games. But the Super Bowl, I mean

912
00:50:13,239 --> 00:50:15,279
Speaker 1: I did a couple of things, I guess, but you

913
00:50:15,280 --> 00:50:16,680

915
00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:21,160
Speaker 1: you're going for it, and some teams struggle with that

916
00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:23,799
Speaker 1: when they think there's too much at stake. Break time

917
00:50:23,840 --> 00:50:25,400

Speaker 1: Steve and I back for hour number two of the program.

925
00:50:43,320 --> 00:50:45,120
Speaker 1: In a moment here on One Bills Live presented by

926
00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:59,000
Speaker 1: Kalid to Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio, Buffalo Bills Radio

927
00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:03,439
Speaker 1: Network Sports Date, your sports Update from One Bill's Drive.

928
00:51:03,520 --> 00:51:07,400
Speaker 1: Bills back on the practice field, practicing indoors, so no

929
00:51:07,520 --> 00:51:09,719
Speaker 1: news on the players on the injury report until the

930
00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:12,640
Speaker 1: updated injury report is released later this afternoon. Among the

931
00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:15,640
Speaker 1: new additions to the injury report that came out Tuesday,

932
00:51:15,680 --> 00:51:19,040
Speaker 1: where Tremaine Edmonds and Ed Oliver, both players were limited

933
00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:22,800
Speaker 1: in practice on Tuesday, defensive end Darryl Johnson missed practice

934
00:51:23,040 --> 00:51:25,560
Speaker 1: with a knee injury. The Seahawks are in the market

935
00:51:25,560 --> 00:51:29,120
Speaker 1: for a new offensive coordinator. Seattle parted ways with OC

936
00:51:29,360 --> 00:51:34,040
Speaker 1: Brian Schottenheimer, who has been Seattle's offensive coordinator since twenty eighteen.

937
00:51:34,120 --> 00:51:36,080
Speaker 1: Now Seattle will try to find a coordinator who can

938
00:51:36,160 --> 00:51:39,440
Speaker 1: run an offense that makes the most of Russell Wilson's

939
00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:43,560
Speaker 1: skill set. Philadelphia Eagles have a vast list of candidates

940
00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:46,719
Speaker 1: for their head coaching vacancy, including a former All Pro

941
00:51:47,160 --> 00:51:51,799
Speaker 1: New England linebacker Gerard Mayo. Former New England linebacker Gerard Mayo.

942
00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:54,080
Speaker 1: Mayo spent eight seasons with the Patriots as a player,

943
00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:57,799
Speaker 1: the last two as an inside linebackers coach. This will

944
00:51:57,840 --> 00:51:59,920
Speaker 1: be the first head coaching interview for Mayo, who has

945
00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:03,279
Speaker 1: played an integral role in the Patriots defense, allowing the

946
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:05,840
Speaker 1: fewest points per game in the NFL over the past

947
00:52:06,160 --> 00:52:10,919
Speaker 1: two seasons. And hockey is back, the NHL officially gets

948
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:13,840
Speaker 1: underway as their fifty six game schedule phases off tonight

949
00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:16,840
Speaker 1: with five games on the slate. Savers begin their season

950
00:52:17,160 --> 00:52:20,279
Speaker 1: tomorrow night when they host the Washington Capitals at the

951
00:52:20,360 --> 00:52:23,960
Speaker 1: Keybank Center. Buffalo's roster now set following the announcement of

952
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:27,640
Speaker 1: players assigned to their Taxi squad. Five players include forwards

953
00:52:27,640 --> 00:52:32,520
Speaker 1: brassmas Asplin, Casey Middlestat, defenseman Will Borgan, and Brandon Davidson,

954
00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:36,600
Speaker 1: along with goaltender Jonis Johansen. That is your sports update,

955
00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:39,680
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker our number two of the program.

956
00:52:39,760 --> 00:52:42,160
Speaker 1: As we are going to the phone lines and your

957
00:52:42,200 --> 00:52:44,799
Speaker 1: phone calls, as you tell us what you believed to

958
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:48,840
Speaker 1: be the x factor in this divisional playoff game, both

959
00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:52,120
Speaker 1: for the Ravens and for the Bills. And you can't

960
00:52:52,160 --> 00:52:55,080
Speaker 1: pick the two quarterbacks. I mean, those two guys are

961
00:52:55,080 --> 00:52:57,960
Speaker 1: obviously the quintessential pieces of each team. So who's going

962
00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:00,440
Speaker 1: to be the X factor or what is going to

963
00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:03,719
Speaker 1: be the X factor? Maybe it's sound fundamental tackling for

964
00:53:03,719 --> 00:53:05,680
Speaker 1: the Bills to limit the games when they do run

965
00:53:05,719 --> 00:53:09,680
Speaker 1: the football. Could be anything your heart desires. So we

966
00:53:09,719 --> 00:53:12,000
Speaker 1: go back to the phones and we go to Brett

967
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:14,239
Speaker 1: in Rochester to lead us off this segment. Brett, what

968
00:53:14,239 --> 00:53:16,840
Speaker 1: do you have for us? Yeah, gentlemen, thank yous for

969
00:53:16,880 --> 00:53:20,759
Speaker 1: taking my call. Start off with the X factors Number one.

970
00:53:21,600 --> 00:53:25,680
Speaker 1: From Baltimore standpoint, you're looking at their running back corps,

971
00:53:26,360 --> 00:53:30,800
Speaker 1: Dobbins and guts. They've got to really figure out what's

972
00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:32,480
Speaker 1: going on with our line if they're going to have

973
00:53:32,560 --> 00:53:36,040
Speaker 1: any penetration to get more than about, you know, two

974
00:53:36,160 --> 00:53:39,000
Speaker 1: three yards of play. Again, if we can hold them

975
00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:41,560
Speaker 1: to two to three yards of play, that's going to

976
00:53:41,640 --> 00:53:44,600
Speaker 1: force LAMARTI use his feet, and I think all the

977
00:53:44,640 --> 00:53:48,200
Speaker 1: practs we do with Josh Allen, we're going to figure

978
00:53:48,239 --> 00:53:51,640
Speaker 1: them out pretty quickly. So that's really the crux of

979
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:55,399
Speaker 1: helping out is figuring out their running backs. And from

980
00:53:55,400 --> 00:53:58,440
Speaker 1: a Bill standpoint, there's only one name I need, Matt Milano.

981
00:53:58,560 --> 00:54:01,000
Speaker 1: He is absolutely a hundred per sent going to be

982
00:54:01,040 --> 00:54:04,160
Speaker 1: the X factor for the Bills on defense, UM, and

983
00:54:04,320 --> 00:54:06,120
Speaker 1: is going to help out a defensive line even more,

984
00:54:06,760 --> 00:54:10,719
Speaker 1: making the tackles and making his presence known. UM. One

985
00:54:10,760 --> 00:54:13,280
Speaker 1: other thing I did want to mention, Steve, you mentioned

986
00:54:13,680 --> 00:54:18,880
Speaker 1: very early on UM you talked about the Wichita wind Um.

987
00:54:19,800 --> 00:54:21,600
Speaker 1: Believe it or not, I want to tie back to

988
00:54:21,640 --> 00:54:26,120
Speaker 1: one Buffalo with hockey starting tonight. Their second season was

989
00:54:26,239 --> 00:54:30,719
Speaker 1: coached by none other than John Muckler, and there you go,

990
00:54:30,960 --> 00:54:34,759
Speaker 1: ended up going to jail one night after they had

991
00:54:34,800 --> 00:54:39,560
Speaker 1: about twenty fighting penalties in a game. Steve wasn't lying

992
00:54:39,600 --> 00:54:41,799
Speaker 1: dy Now that I've got I've just been notified too

993
00:54:41,840 --> 00:54:46,040
Speaker 1: through the social that the hockey team in Wichita is

994
00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:50,719
Speaker 1: now called the Wichita Thunder. So awesome. Yeah, yeah, but

995
00:54:50,800 --> 00:54:52,680
Speaker 1: that's great. Yeah, you're you might be right because it

996
00:54:52,680 --> 00:54:55,080
Speaker 1: was an oilers the organization. Muckler, you know, he came

997
00:54:55,080 --> 00:54:57,600
Speaker 1: out with those guys, So there you go, that would

998
00:54:57,640 --> 00:55:01,040
Speaker 1: make sense. It was in eighty two, is the year

999
00:55:01,080 --> 00:55:03,160
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about is when I first started watching them,

1000
00:55:03,200 --> 00:55:04,640
Speaker 1: and it was a year or two before that that

1001
00:55:04,680 --> 00:55:09,520
Speaker 1: they actually started. So there you go, Yeah, Wichita Wind,

1002
00:55:09,680 --> 00:55:13,120
Speaker 1: good times. Good times in minor league hockeys. Man, I'm

1003
00:55:13,120 --> 00:55:15,960
Speaker 1: telling you. Back to the phones, we go to Ryan

1004
00:55:16,080 --> 00:55:18,000
Speaker 1: in Orchard Park. Ryan, what do you have for us?

1005
00:55:18,040 --> 00:55:21,640
Speaker 1: Jarmond Bill's live. Yeah. No, I think I have a

1006
00:55:21,640 --> 00:55:23,719
Speaker 1: lot of trust in our offense. Always put us in

1007
00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:26,719
Speaker 1: scoring positions and chances to get some points. So I

1008
00:55:26,760 --> 00:55:29,760
Speaker 1: think the X factor really comes down to Tyler Bass.

1009
00:55:30,280 --> 00:55:32,960
Speaker 1: He's been like great the last stretch of the season.

1010
00:55:33,040 --> 00:55:35,200
Speaker 1: When it comes on to playoffs, you got to make

1011
00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:37,560
Speaker 1: all those extra points in those field goals to win games.

1012
00:55:38,040 --> 00:55:40,080
Speaker 1: We saw it last week against the Colts with play

1013
00:55:40,200 --> 00:55:42,680
Speaker 1: and Ship missing that important field goal which ultimately led

1014
00:55:42,680 --> 00:55:44,880
Speaker 1: to them trying to go for a hell Mary instead

1015
00:55:44,880 --> 00:55:47,640
Speaker 1: of a game tying field goal. So I think I

1016
00:55:47,760 --> 00:55:49,439
Speaker 1: have a lot of trust and Josh Allen in our offense,

1017
00:55:49,480 --> 00:55:51,480
Speaker 1: and as long as Bass can make his points, I

1018
00:55:51,520 --> 00:55:54,400
Speaker 1: think will have no problem down the stretch. Yeah. I

1019
00:55:54,440 --> 00:55:57,160
Speaker 1: mean we also got to look at that other side

1020
00:55:57,160 --> 00:55:58,839
Speaker 1: of the field though, I mean, they've got one heck

1021
00:55:58,840 --> 00:56:00,759
Speaker 1: of a kicker. Probably the best in the league for

1022
00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:03,560
Speaker 1: the last five years. In Justin Tucker. I know he

1023
00:56:03,600 --> 00:56:07,160
Speaker 1: missed one last week but then came back fifty one

1024
00:56:07,200 --> 00:56:09,160
Speaker 1: yard or he won't come due to miss another one,

1025
00:56:09,480 --> 00:56:12,839
Speaker 1: you know, until until next season. The caller before that

1026
00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:17,239
Speaker 1: was talking about Buffalo's run defense. Now, last year was

1027
00:56:17,320 --> 00:56:20,319
Speaker 1: last year, and this defense is in stark contrast to

1028
00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:22,719
Speaker 1: what they were last year. They did a good job

1029
00:56:22,920 --> 00:56:24,680
Speaker 1: against the run. I mean they held the Ravens to

1030
00:56:24,719 --> 00:56:26,960
Speaker 1: three point six yards to carry and they ran a

1031
00:56:27,080 --> 00:56:29,320
Speaker 1: thirty three times and only had one hundred and eighteen

1032
00:56:29,400 --> 00:56:33,120
Speaker 1: yards and no touchdowns on the ground, So they did

1033
00:56:33,160 --> 00:56:36,960
Speaker 1: their job against the run. Lamar just got a little

1034
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:39,880
Speaker 1: loose in and around the red zone to buy time

1035
00:56:39,920 --> 00:56:41,960
Speaker 1: to throw short touchdown pass. He had the one long

1036
00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:45,279
Speaker 1: touchdown pass for sixty one yards to Hayden Hurst, but

1037
00:56:45,280 --> 00:56:47,480
Speaker 1: then he had the two short ones in around and

1038
00:56:47,560 --> 00:56:51,040
Speaker 1: near the goal line, and it was the difference in

1039
00:56:51,040 --> 00:56:53,640
Speaker 1: the game. They win by seven because let me see here,

1040
00:56:53,719 --> 00:56:56,799
Speaker 1: yeah four yard pass and what was the other one

1041
00:56:57,080 --> 00:57:00,879
Speaker 1: three yard pass? Yeah, Boil and need were the two

1042
00:57:00,920 --> 00:57:05,200
Speaker 1: short touchdown passes. So that's and that it's interesting too.

1043
00:57:05,520 --> 00:57:07,440
Speaker 1: I was watching, I was going through the notes for this.

1044
00:57:08,920 --> 00:57:11,200
Speaker 1: These two guys, these two quarterbacks, and we know what

1045
00:57:11,239 --> 00:57:14,240
Speaker 1: I mean. We were watching Josh for for whatever however

1046
00:57:14,280 --> 00:57:16,360
Speaker 1: long we've been watching them, and the same thing with Lamar.

1047
00:57:16,400 --> 00:57:19,120
Speaker 1: I mean, the guy was the MVP last year. Let's

1048
00:57:19,160 --> 00:57:20,640
Speaker 1: just say, I'm gonna go there. Here we go. In

1049
00:57:20,680 --> 00:57:28,200
Speaker 1: their careers, Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson's careers, they have

1050
00:57:28,200 --> 00:57:33,320
Speaker 1: a combined they've combined for eighty eight touchdown passes, zero

1051
00:57:34,400 --> 00:57:41,640
Speaker 1: red zone interceptions zero. It's pretty good. That might be

1052
00:57:41,680 --> 00:57:45,160
Speaker 1: the stat of the week. Eighty eight touchdown passes between

1053
00:57:45,200 --> 00:57:48,760
Speaker 1: the two of them, zero in red zone interceptions for

1054
00:57:48,760 --> 00:57:51,360
Speaker 1: for for both of them. It's unbelievable. And that is

1055
00:57:51,440 --> 00:57:54,040
Speaker 1: that's impressive. This is yeah. And also we've been talking

1056
00:57:54,080 --> 00:57:56,880
Speaker 1: to about you talk about these quarterbacks, Lamar Jackson and

1057
00:57:57,440 --> 00:58:02,080
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, and of course the nineteen twenty eighteen draft.

1058
00:58:03,200 --> 00:58:06,760
Speaker 1: Three of those guys are in this playoffs Baker, Baker,

1059
00:58:06,880 --> 00:58:09,480
Speaker 1: Lamar and Josh and of course then Mahomes is the

1060
00:58:09,520 --> 00:58:15,480
Speaker 1: seventeen draft. But yeah, and so all together in the AFC,

1061
00:58:16,280 --> 00:58:21,040
Speaker 1: all these players have eleven combined postseason starts. In the NFC,

1062
00:58:21,160 --> 00:58:24,400
Speaker 1: you won't take a guess. Oh my god, it's like

1063
00:58:25,320 --> 00:58:29,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, seventy five eighty two, Brady has forty

1064
00:58:29,360 --> 00:58:33,160
Speaker 1: two playoffs, starts Rogers nineteen, Brees seventeen, and Goff has four.

1065
00:58:33,320 --> 00:58:39,680
Speaker 1: Good lord, talk about us. Talk about a dichotomy there, Yeah,

1066
00:58:39,720 --> 00:58:42,120
Speaker 1: that's one of them. Let's go back to the phones.

1067
00:58:42,200 --> 00:58:44,400
Speaker 1: We go to Jody in Buffalo. Jody, what do you

1068
00:58:44,440 --> 00:58:47,120
Speaker 1: have for us? You're on one Bill's Live. Yeah, I

1069
00:58:47,320 --> 00:58:48,960
Speaker 1: ut in the paper. I was hit the game and

1070
00:58:49,400 --> 00:58:51,960
Speaker 1: I missed this P three plays as I understand that

1071
00:58:51,960 --> 00:58:55,280
Speaker 1: we'll run with no time left on the clock, yeah,

1072
00:58:55,280 --> 00:58:58,800
Speaker 1: by the Colts. Yeah, and there were touchdowns involved, if

1073
00:58:58,800 --> 00:59:03,160
Speaker 1: I understand correctly. And I've seen this periodically throughout the lead. Now,

1074
00:59:03,160 --> 00:59:05,480
Speaker 1: I know, like in the NBA, when you have a

1075
00:59:05,520 --> 00:59:09,280
Speaker 1: time clock ends, a buzzard goes off. Now I can't imagine.

1076
00:59:09,280 --> 00:59:11,600
Speaker 1: Maybe it'scause I'm paranoid, because just being a Bills fan,

1077
00:59:12,040 --> 00:59:15,120
Speaker 1: I can imagine being in the Super Bowl no time left.

1078
00:59:15,560 --> 00:59:18,120
Speaker 1: Two seconds later they scored the winning touchdown. It's the

1079
00:59:18,160 --> 00:59:22,960
Speaker 1: worst case scenario, but I can see this happening, and

1080
00:59:23,040 --> 00:59:25,560
Speaker 1: it's happening throughout the lead. Isn't there any way feasible

1081
00:59:25,560 --> 00:59:28,160
Speaker 1: where maybe sometime in the future where if they're running

1082
00:59:28,160 --> 00:59:31,760
Speaker 1: the play in something alarm or some kind of buzzard

1083
00:59:31,800 --> 00:59:33,960
Speaker 1: goes off. But thank you, I'll hang out. Yeah, it's

1084
00:59:34,200 --> 00:59:38,240
Speaker 1: here's the thing, You're right, it's it happens a lot

1085
00:59:38,400 --> 00:59:41,160
Speaker 1: in that it goes to zero in the ball of

1086
00:59:41,240 --> 00:59:43,360
Speaker 1: snap goes to zero, the ball of snap goes to zero,

1087
00:59:43,360 --> 00:59:45,680
Speaker 1: and the ball is snapped. It's not the ball of

1088
00:59:45,720 --> 00:59:48,600
Speaker 1: snapping and goes to zero. It's the opposite. Yeah, So

1089
00:59:48,640 --> 00:59:51,040
Speaker 1: what they tell and the league has made it known

1090
00:59:51,080 --> 00:59:53,560
Speaker 1: to all the coaches and the offensive coordinators and the

1091
00:59:53,560 --> 00:59:58,200
Speaker 1: defensive coordinators. Everybody knows. They don't want any any penalties

1092
00:59:58,240 --> 00:59:59,760
Speaker 1: like that. If you're gonna use the whole play clock,

1093
00:59:59,760 --> 01:00:02,000
Speaker 1: you can use the whole play clock, no question. And

1094
01:00:02,160 --> 01:00:05,000
Speaker 1: what they'll ask the guy to do the the guy

1095
01:00:05,040 --> 01:00:08,320
Speaker 1: that's in charge of it is the official facing the

1096
01:00:08,400 --> 01:00:12,880
Speaker 1: quarterback on the defensive side. That or the field judge.

1097
01:00:12,880 --> 01:00:13,880
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's the back judge of the

1098
01:00:13,880 --> 01:00:16,680
Speaker 1: field judge, might be the back judge. The back judge,

1099
01:00:16,680 --> 01:00:18,280
Speaker 1: he's facing the quarterback. He's in the middle of the

1100
01:00:18,320 --> 01:00:20,960
Speaker 1: field looking at everything so he can see the quarterback.

1101
01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:23,680
Speaker 1: He sees the quarterback and the play clock. What he

1102
01:00:23,720 --> 01:00:27,120
Speaker 1: does is watches the play clock. When the play clock

1103
01:00:27,200 --> 01:00:30,280
Speaker 1: goes to zero, he moves his eyes to the ball.

1104
01:00:30,360 --> 01:00:32,240
Speaker 1: If he moves his eyes the ball still there, then

1105
01:00:32,240 --> 01:00:34,960
Speaker 1: it's snapped. It's a penalty. But if he moves, if

1106
01:00:34,960 --> 01:00:37,640
Speaker 1: it goes to zero, then the ball is snapped. And

1107
01:00:37,640 --> 01:00:39,680
Speaker 1: he looks down for the ball and it's already been snapped,

1108
01:00:40,040 --> 01:00:42,280
Speaker 1: it's okay. And that's what you see happen a lot.

1109
01:00:42,320 --> 01:00:46,200
Speaker 1: There's no question. Yes, it's like a half second delay

1110
01:00:46,240 --> 01:00:50,240
Speaker 1: before they'll call a penalty. And that's and whatever that

1111
01:00:50,320 --> 01:00:53,720
Speaker 1: delay is is the gray area that the caller's talking about.

1112
01:00:54,040 --> 01:00:57,440
Speaker 1: And I don't you're not going to get that changed

1113
01:00:57,520 --> 01:01:00,360
Speaker 1: because that's the way the football guys want it. They

1114
01:01:00,440 --> 01:01:04,880
Speaker 1: want the quarterback. Offensive coordinators want the quarterback to use

1115
01:01:04,880 --> 01:01:07,360
Speaker 1: every single second he can. They're trying to maximize it,

1116
01:01:07,480 --> 01:01:10,320
Speaker 1: and the league lets him do that. So I get it.

1117
01:01:10,400 --> 01:01:12,640
Speaker 1: Technically speaking, you are absolutely right it should have been

1118
01:01:12,680 --> 01:01:15,000
Speaker 1: a penalty on a couple of those plays. But if

1119
01:01:15,040 --> 01:01:17,400
Speaker 1: they had been, if they're going to call that like that,

1120
01:01:17,640 --> 01:01:20,080
Speaker 1: it wouldn't have happened because rivers will just snap it,

1121
01:01:20,640 --> 01:01:23,560
Speaker 1: you know, they they the quarterbacks let it go that

1122
01:01:23,680 --> 01:01:25,400
Speaker 1: as long as they can possibly go no, and they're

1123
01:01:25,440 --> 01:01:27,960
Speaker 1: gonna get away with it. So if they changed it

1124
01:01:28,000 --> 01:01:29,280
Speaker 1: and they were not going to let them do it,

1125
01:01:29,280 --> 01:01:30,880
Speaker 1: by this time in the regular season, they'd all be

1126
01:01:30,920 --> 01:01:32,640
Speaker 1: used to it, and Philip Rivers would be snapping it

1127
01:01:32,680 --> 01:01:35,120
Speaker 1: with one second or zero on the clock and that

1128
01:01:35,200 --> 01:01:37,320
Speaker 1: was it. So he did it because he's used to

1129
01:01:37,320 --> 01:01:40,480
Speaker 1: doing it as as a player, and that's what the

1130
01:01:40,560 --> 01:01:42,840
Speaker 1: league allows him to do. So that's you wouldn't have

1131
01:01:42,880 --> 01:01:46,160
Speaker 1: gotten that penalty in a normal game, and you're certainly

1132
01:01:46,200 --> 01:01:47,760
Speaker 1: not going to get it in the playoffs like this

1133
01:01:48,760 --> 01:01:51,320
Speaker 1: because that's the way the league wants it run. And

1134
01:01:51,560 --> 01:01:53,120
Speaker 1: as long as they call it the same all the time,

1135
01:01:53,160 --> 01:01:56,160
Speaker 1: that's fine. Yeah, I'm not convinced they will though, right

1136
01:01:56,440 --> 01:02:00,360
Speaker 1: there're talking about different guys. It's a different prove It's

1137
01:02:00,360 --> 01:02:03,040
Speaker 1: a gray area, no question, it's a gray area. To

1138
01:02:03,320 --> 01:02:05,320
Speaker 1: al in Buffalo, we go al. What do you have

1139
01:02:05,360 --> 01:02:07,760
Speaker 1: for us? You're on one Bill's Live, Hi, guys, um.

1140
01:02:08,680 --> 01:02:12,080
Speaker 1: I think John Brown's the X factor. I think the

1141
01:02:12,120 --> 01:02:16,760
Speaker 1: offense runs a lot smoother when he's more productive. And

1142
01:02:16,840 --> 01:02:20,200
Speaker 1: I have a question for you guys all week you know,

1143
01:02:20,480 --> 01:02:23,680
Speaker 1: it just seems like a tone on all the on

1144
01:02:23,720 --> 01:02:29,360
Speaker 1: all the radio shows, is Baltimore this big, bad Baltimore team.

1145
01:02:29,400 --> 01:02:32,240
Speaker 1: I looked at the schedule. They have one quality win.

1146
01:02:32,800 --> 01:02:35,400
Speaker 1: They feasted on the NFC East, they feasted on their

1147
01:02:35,440 --> 01:02:41,040
Speaker 1: own division. They beat Houston. Um, we're the two seed.

1148
01:02:42,240 --> 01:02:48,439
Speaker 1: We we we have a legitimate fourteen wins. Yep. I look,

1149
01:02:48,520 --> 01:02:51,480
Speaker 1: I don't, I don't. I mean, I kind of get

1150
01:02:51,520 --> 01:02:57,200
Speaker 1: the feeling that we're terrified to this team. That terrified

1151
01:02:57,280 --> 01:02:58,880
Speaker 1: might be a little strong al but I get what

1152
01:02:58,880 --> 01:03:02,080
Speaker 1: you're saying. I think, yeah, as on the part of

1153
01:03:02,120 --> 01:03:04,600
Speaker 1: the fan base, I think there is a healthy respect

1154
01:03:05,160 --> 01:03:10,600
Speaker 1: for Baltimore because they have perennially been in contention and

1155
01:03:10,680 --> 01:03:12,680
Speaker 1: we can't forget this was a fourteen and two team

1156
01:03:12,800 --> 01:03:16,600
Speaker 1: last year. Now, they kind of lost their way in

1157
01:03:16,600 --> 01:03:18,280
Speaker 1: the middle of the season. I think they lost three

1158
01:03:18,360 --> 01:03:22,080
Speaker 1: straight in the middle of the season and then ripped

1159
01:03:22,120 --> 01:03:24,760
Speaker 1: off head Covid. Right, Lamar had Covid, he was added

1160
01:03:24,800 --> 01:03:26,760
Speaker 1: the lineup, and then they ripped off five wins to

1161
01:03:26,760 --> 01:03:29,320
Speaker 1: finish the year. You're one hundred percent right. Their strength

1162
01:03:29,320 --> 01:03:32,880
Speaker 1: of schedule was not as strong as the Bills. I

1163
01:03:32,920 --> 01:03:35,480
Speaker 1: would venture to argue that the Bills have the more

1164
01:03:35,600 --> 01:03:41,920
Speaker 1: explosive offense than Baltimore does, But I think playoff football

1165
01:03:42,000 --> 01:03:46,200
Speaker 1: is a little bit different, and sometimes in playoff football

1166
01:03:46,240 --> 01:03:48,280
Speaker 1: you have to get a little down and dirty. And

1167
01:03:48,320 --> 01:03:52,640
Speaker 1: I think most people are of the honest opinion that

1168
01:03:52,800 --> 01:03:56,120
Speaker 1: Baltimore is probably the grimeer of the two teams here.

1169
01:03:57,640 --> 01:04:01,480
Speaker 1: They'll they'll play smash mouth football on both sides of

1170
01:04:01,480 --> 01:04:04,200
Speaker 1: the ball and not blink. They welcome it as a

1171
01:04:04,200 --> 01:04:06,560
Speaker 1: matter of fact that if you ask me, I think

1172
01:04:06,560 --> 01:04:08,800
Speaker 1: that's the kind of game they want to play. Yeah,

1173
01:04:08,800 --> 01:04:11,120
Speaker 1: so that's that's all the more reason why the Bills

1174
01:04:11,160 --> 01:04:13,800
Speaker 1: have to be who they are and light them up

1175
01:04:13,840 --> 01:04:17,560
Speaker 1: in the air. That's what you gotta do, because that's

1176
01:04:17,560 --> 01:04:20,120
Speaker 1: not who they are. They are not the get down

1177
01:04:20,120 --> 01:04:22,520
Speaker 1: and dirty, grim it up, you know, muck it up

1178
01:04:22,600 --> 01:04:24,720
Speaker 1: kind of team. That's not who the Bills are this year. Yeah.

1179
01:04:24,760 --> 01:04:27,840
Speaker 1: Now the Ravens, you can say what you want about

1180
01:04:27,840 --> 01:04:29,520
Speaker 1: who they played, but they kind of finished like the

1181
01:04:29,560 --> 01:04:31,880
Speaker 1: season like the Bills did. They got five straight wins,

1182
01:04:32,600 --> 01:04:34,960
Speaker 1: they won by seventeen, and then they got into a

1183
01:04:35,040 --> 01:04:38,200
Speaker 1: tussle with the Browns and won by five. They won

1184
01:04:38,280 --> 01:04:42,360
Speaker 1: by twenty six. By fourteen and by thirty five, so

1185
01:04:42,360 --> 01:04:45,280
Speaker 1: they finished with a flurry. But they played the Bengals,

1186
01:04:45,720 --> 01:04:49,320
Speaker 1: the Giants, the Jaguars, and the Cowboys were four out

1187
01:04:49,320 --> 01:04:52,120
Speaker 1: of those last five games. So you would expect them

1188
01:04:52,120 --> 01:04:55,320
Speaker 1: to go at least four and one if the Browns

1189
01:04:55,320 --> 01:04:59,400
Speaker 1: could have beaten them. But yeah, that's that's not a

1190
01:04:59,480 --> 01:05:02,720
Speaker 1: gauntlet like the Bills played the Bills. And I'll remind

1191
01:05:02,760 --> 01:05:05,120
Speaker 1: you of who the Bills Bills played. They went down

1192
01:05:05,120 --> 01:05:09,920
Speaker 1: a stretch where they played the Patriots, the Seahawks, the Cardinals,

1193
01:05:10,280 --> 01:05:15,040
Speaker 1: then the Chargers, the Niners, the Steelers, and then the

1194
01:05:15,080 --> 01:05:18,440
Speaker 1: Patriots again after the Broncos. I mean that we were

1195
01:05:19,560 --> 01:05:21,560
Speaker 1: we just we were hoping they'd go three and two

1196
01:05:21,560 --> 01:05:23,440
Speaker 1: in that five game stretch. They went four and one

1197
01:05:23,480 --> 01:05:25,600
Speaker 1: and lost the fifth one on a Hail Mary. The

1198
01:05:25,600 --> 01:05:28,280
Speaker 1: Bills are rolling, and they and their strength of schedule

1199
01:05:28,920 --> 01:05:31,600
Speaker 1: is the most difficult in the National Football League left

1200
01:05:31,640 --> 01:05:33,720
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. I think the biggest concern on the

1201
01:05:33,720 --> 01:05:35,480
Speaker 1: part of Bills fans, just from all the people we've

1202
01:05:35,480 --> 01:05:39,240
Speaker 1: heard from to this point in the week, is there's

1203
01:05:39,240 --> 01:05:43,720
Speaker 1: a genuine concern that the Bills can't match the physical

1204
01:05:43,840 --> 01:05:47,000
Speaker 1: power and strength of the Ravens, And so if it

1205
01:05:47,040 --> 01:05:49,680
Speaker 1: turns into that kind of a game, I think that's

1206
01:05:49,680 --> 01:05:54,720
Speaker 1: what has Bills fans concerned. Now, I still maintain it's

1207
01:05:54,720 --> 01:05:57,840
Speaker 1: a coin flip game. Baltimore is good enough to win

1208
01:05:57,920 --> 01:06:01,080
Speaker 1: this game with their own idea entity and what it is.

1209
01:06:01,440 --> 01:06:04,720
Speaker 1: So are the Bills. Bills are just as equipped to

1210
01:06:04,760 --> 01:06:07,840
Speaker 1: win this game as the Ravens are. That the big

1211
01:06:07,920 --> 01:06:10,280
Speaker 1: question is how is it going to unfold. Who's going

1212
01:06:10,320 --> 01:06:13,000
Speaker 1: to deliver the big plays, Who's gonna be the X factor,

1213
01:06:13,240 --> 01:06:15,720
Speaker 1: Who's going to be the differences Because it's almost like

1214
01:06:15,720 --> 01:06:18,080
Speaker 1: these two quarterbacks cancel each other out of it's a match,

1215
01:06:18,160 --> 01:06:22,240
Speaker 1: it's a matchup game. This offense for the Ravens is

1216
01:06:22,280 --> 01:06:24,680
Speaker 1: a bad matchup for the Bills. The strength of the

1217
01:06:24,680 --> 01:06:27,360
Speaker 1: Bills is their secondary. Well, they don't throw the ball,

1218
01:06:27,640 --> 01:06:30,520
Speaker 1: what's that Good's that gonna do? Yet? Yeah? The strength

1219
01:06:30,640 --> 01:06:36,760
Speaker 1: of the Ravens defense is there is there is their corners.

1220
01:06:36,800 --> 01:06:39,480
Speaker 1: They lean on their corners, they play man. Well, you

1221
01:06:39,520 --> 01:06:42,040
Speaker 1: can't do that against this team because they have they

1222
01:06:42,080 --> 01:06:44,360
Speaker 1: go deep bills of each alive, they each alive. Their

1223
01:06:44,400 --> 01:06:46,240
Speaker 1: quarterbacks got a big, strong arm, and you got to

1224
01:06:46,320 --> 01:06:50,040
Speaker 1: defend the field sideline to sideline and from the line

1225
01:06:50,040 --> 01:06:51,480
Speaker 1: of scrimmage all the way to the back of the

1226
01:06:51,560 --> 01:06:54,640
Speaker 1: end zone wherever it is on the field. Um, and

1227
01:06:54,800 --> 01:06:57,920
Speaker 1: their offensive line is really good and pass pro, and

1228
01:06:57,960 --> 01:07:00,200
Speaker 1: they got in a quarterback that'll escape and make it.

1229
01:07:00,400 --> 01:07:06,040
Speaker 1: So it's a bad matchup defensively for both these teams.

1230
01:07:06,080 --> 01:07:08,120
Speaker 1: So we'll it's a it's a question of who can

1231
01:07:08,280 --> 01:07:11,880
Speaker 1: be themselves better than the other team? Yeah, and you know,

1232
01:07:11,920 --> 01:07:14,240
Speaker 1: and all the obviously all the other stuff that sprinkled in,

1233
01:07:14,400 --> 01:07:16,840
Speaker 1: like who turns it over? What's kind of fuel position? Yeah,

1234
01:07:16,840 --> 01:07:18,960
Speaker 1: who can put their identity stamp on this game? Right?

1235
01:07:19,280 --> 01:07:20,800
Speaker 1: Who makes a play out of the blue? Like do

1236
01:07:20,840 --> 01:07:22,880
Speaker 1: you get a special teams play that forces a fumble,

1237
01:07:23,000 --> 01:07:25,000
Speaker 1: or do you get a missed field goal, or do

1238
01:07:25,040 --> 01:07:28,040
Speaker 1: you get a fumbled fumbled kickoff or punt or something

1239
01:07:28,080 --> 01:07:29,720
Speaker 1: like that. You know, it's all the other stuff that

1240
01:07:29,720 --> 01:07:33,440
Speaker 1: goes into these games that affect the score and the

1241
01:07:33,480 --> 01:07:36,160
Speaker 1: team would ever team's ability to do what they do

1242
01:07:36,360 --> 01:07:38,080
Speaker 1: because now they're in a hole and they got to

1243
01:07:38,120 --> 01:07:41,280
Speaker 1: dig out, or now they're they got to protect a

1244
01:07:41,400 --> 01:07:42,960
Speaker 1: lead and they don't want to throw the football all

1245
01:07:42,960 --> 01:07:46,200
Speaker 1: over the yard. Let's go to lou in Lockport. Next, Louis,

1246
01:07:46,200 --> 01:07:49,600
Speaker 1: you're on one Bills live? What do you have? How

1247
01:07:49,680 --> 01:07:54,600
Speaker 1: you like those Bills? Now? I mean, how exciting is this? Yeah? Hey,

1248
01:07:54,680 --> 01:07:58,240
Speaker 1: we're all enjoying it right, Oh? Great football? I mean,

1249
01:07:58,880 --> 01:08:00,920
Speaker 1: you know, I think one of the expectors could be

1250
01:08:00,920 --> 01:08:05,440
Speaker 1: the weather, you know, could be you know, the Bills.

1251
01:08:06,720 --> 01:08:10,080
Speaker 1: They've been doing a lot of running. Josh has been running.

1252
01:08:10,440 --> 01:08:16,200
Speaker 1: So I always for me a question, where is Antonio

1253
01:08:16,280 --> 01:08:19,559
Speaker 1: Williams in all of this? Well, I think he will

1254
01:08:19,600 --> 01:08:21,960
Speaker 1: be a consideration this week, lou I don't think there's

1255
01:08:21,960 --> 01:08:25,240
Speaker 1: any question about it. I mean, coach McDermott, when asked

1256
01:08:25,240 --> 01:08:28,559
Speaker 1: about him, said he popped on tape when we watched

1257
01:08:28,600 --> 01:08:32,240
Speaker 1: that week seventeen game back. He was explosive. And the

1258
01:08:32,320 --> 01:08:35,360
Speaker 1: Bills don't really have an explosive back on their active roster.

1259
01:08:35,760 --> 01:08:38,200
Speaker 1: You know, Antonio Williams is still on their practice squad. Now,

1260
01:08:38,240 --> 01:08:40,320
Speaker 1: they could call him up, they could activate him on

1261
01:08:40,400 --> 01:08:44,680
Speaker 1: game day. He could see some action. Here's the thing. Historically,

1262
01:08:45,880 --> 01:08:49,440
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott, when he's faced with these kinds of decisions,

1263
01:08:50,240 --> 01:08:53,800
Speaker 1: more often than not, goes with the player he trusts

1264
01:08:53,800 --> 01:08:56,640
Speaker 1: the most. And I would venture to say that he

1265
01:08:56,760 --> 01:09:01,760
Speaker 1: probably trusts t J Yelden more because he's seen more

1266
01:09:01,880 --> 01:09:06,080
Speaker 1: of him in game situations. Now. I know people are

1267
01:09:06,080 --> 01:09:07,960
Speaker 1: gonna bring up the fact that t J Yelden has

1268
01:09:08,000 --> 01:09:11,320
Speaker 1: fumbled in his time with the Bills. Yes, that is true,

1269
01:09:11,479 --> 01:09:14,800
Speaker 1: so to Devin Singletary in his rookie year, and he

1270
01:09:14,840 --> 01:09:19,800
Speaker 1: was able to fix that. I don't know. While I

1271
01:09:19,840 --> 01:09:22,479
Speaker 1: do believe Antonio Williams is talented. I had him listed

1272
01:09:22,520 --> 01:09:24,439
Speaker 1: as a sleeper in training camp back in the summer.

1273
01:09:24,640 --> 01:09:30,559
Speaker 1: I liked him in this spot a divisional playoff, you know,

1274
01:09:30,600 --> 01:09:33,479
Speaker 1: where it's win or go home, and you've seen all

1275
01:09:33,520 --> 01:09:37,599
Speaker 1: of a half of football from this kid. I don't

1276
01:09:37,600 --> 01:09:39,479
Speaker 1: know if that's enough of a body of work to

1277
01:09:39,560 --> 01:09:42,040
Speaker 1: say we're gonna ride him in this game a little

1278
01:09:42,040 --> 01:09:43,639
Speaker 1: bit and have him kind of take the load off

1279
01:09:43,640 --> 01:09:45,880
Speaker 1: of Devin's Singletary. I don't know. You've seen a very

1280
01:09:45,920 --> 01:09:48,400
Speaker 1: recent half of football against a really good defense, although

1281
01:09:48,439 --> 01:09:50,439
Speaker 1: they had kind of checked it checked out a little

1282
01:09:50,479 --> 01:09:53,160
Speaker 1: bit in Miami, but you've seen him play more recently

1283
01:09:53,200 --> 01:09:55,840
Speaker 1: than you've seen t J. Yeldon play valid and you've

1284
01:09:55,880 --> 01:09:58,920
Speaker 1: got to also watch him practice every single day in practice,

1285
01:09:58,920 --> 01:10:00,720
Speaker 1: so it's not like he's dropping out of this. This This

1286
01:10:00,760 --> 01:10:07,439
Speaker 1: isn't DeVante Freeman we're talking about. Yeah. Also, and Lou asked,

1287
01:10:07,479 --> 01:10:10,240
Speaker 1: because where's where's Antonio Williams? Once again, Well you're not

1288
01:10:10,280 --> 01:10:13,000
Speaker 1: gonna know, Sean McDermot. I gotta tell you what he's

1289
01:10:13,040 --> 01:10:15,920
Speaker 1: gonna do until ninety minutes before the game. So we

1290
01:10:15,960 --> 01:10:18,240
Speaker 1: won't know if Antonio Freeman is even really in the

1291
01:10:18,280 --> 01:10:22,040
Speaker 1: mix until we see him out there taking snaps. And

1292
01:10:22,080 --> 01:10:24,080
Speaker 1: that's the way Sean McDermott wants it. So you can say,

1293
01:10:24,080 --> 01:10:26,519
Speaker 1: why isn't this happening, Well, it's not happening because they

1294
01:10:26,520 --> 01:10:28,640
Speaker 1: don't want anybody to know if it's happening or not.

1295
01:10:28,800 --> 01:10:31,439
Speaker 1: And I'm gamesmanship and I'm not saying I don't have

1296
01:10:31,479 --> 01:10:33,080
Speaker 1: a problem with it. I'm just saying that's the way

1297
01:10:33,120 --> 01:10:35,840
Speaker 1: it is, so don't get impatient. Yeah, And I'm I'm

1298
01:10:35,880 --> 01:10:39,320
Speaker 1: not saying it can't happen or it won't happen. My

1299
01:10:40,160 --> 01:10:44,160
Speaker 1: just going off the past history, my inclination is it

1300
01:10:44,200 --> 01:10:47,200
Speaker 1: will probably be yelled in. But I don't think that's

1301
01:10:47,240 --> 01:10:49,639
Speaker 1: a lock I guess, is what I'm saying. You get

1302
01:10:49,640 --> 01:10:54,920
Speaker 1: what you earn. And I think it's really interesting that

1303
01:10:55,560 --> 01:11:03,200
Speaker 1: Antonio Williams got snaps in week seventeen. Why not t J. Well,

1304
01:11:03,240 --> 01:11:05,920
Speaker 1: he was on the COVID list. That's why. That's a

1305
01:11:05,920 --> 01:11:07,760
Speaker 1: good question. We'll never know that whether it was that

1306
01:11:07,840 --> 01:11:10,360
Speaker 1: because of that, well he was out, he wasn't eligible,

1307
01:11:10,520 --> 01:11:13,200
Speaker 1: I know. But if how much Antonio Williams would have played,

1308
01:11:13,200 --> 01:11:16,240
Speaker 1: even if t J yelled him in fact happened at all,

1309
01:11:16,439 --> 01:11:20,760
Speaker 1: we may we may not know about Antonio. So that's

1310
01:11:20,760 --> 01:11:23,599
Speaker 1: the interesting thing about the whole whole scenarios. We don't

1311
01:11:23,640 --> 01:11:25,479
Speaker 1: know how that played out and why, whether it was

1312
01:11:25,520 --> 01:11:29,439
Speaker 1: totally COVID or whether Antonio Williams was you know, certainly

1313
01:11:29,439 --> 01:11:31,679
Speaker 1: he was ready when his name was called. The guy

1314
01:11:32,000 --> 01:11:36,880
Speaker 1: played great. So that's we're not going to know, and

1315
01:11:37,000 --> 01:11:39,559
Speaker 1: that's exactly the way the Bills want it. Let's go

1316
01:11:39,600 --> 01:11:42,120
Speaker 1: to Sunny and Orchard Parks. So anybody you have for us,

1317
01:11:42,160 --> 01:11:45,360
Speaker 1: you're on one Bill's Live. Hey, guys, thank you so

1318
01:11:45,439 --> 01:11:48,680
Speaker 1: much for taking the call. Love the show, Yeah, thank you. Um,

1319
01:11:48,720 --> 01:11:50,479
Speaker 1: I want to just call in me what I thought

1320
01:11:50,479 --> 01:11:53,680
Speaker 1: about the X factors actually a group. Um, you know,

1321
01:11:53,720 --> 01:11:56,720
Speaker 1: we know that our offense can score basically at will

1322
01:11:56,800 --> 01:11:59,920
Speaker 1: against good defenses. We've seen it all year What can

1323
01:12:00,040 --> 01:12:03,639
Speaker 1: turns me though, is the misdirection and our pos coming

1324
01:12:03,640 --> 01:12:06,320
Speaker 1: out of the Ravens backfield. So I think our linebackers

1325
01:12:06,320 --> 01:12:09,240
Speaker 1: are going to be really important this week. You know,

1326
01:12:09,280 --> 01:12:11,799
Speaker 1: they've got the speed to match up with Milano and Edmonds,

1327
01:12:11,840 --> 01:12:14,320
Speaker 1: but you know, react too quickly and you're in a

1328
01:12:14,360 --> 01:12:17,240
Speaker 1: bad position, and we're not react fast enough and you're

1329
01:12:17,280 --> 01:12:18,960
Speaker 1: still in that same bad position. So I think that

1330
01:12:19,040 --> 01:12:22,439
Speaker 1: their awareness and just jumping at the right times is

1331
01:12:22,479 --> 01:12:24,559
Speaker 1: going to be really important this week. So how' seege

1332
01:12:24,560 --> 01:12:26,439
Speaker 1: you guys think, thank you so much. Yeah, no, that's

1333
01:12:26,479 --> 01:12:28,360
Speaker 1: a valid point. You're not the first person to bring

1334
01:12:28,360 --> 01:12:31,760
Speaker 1: it up, and I think it's bang on. Steve talk

1335
01:12:31,840 --> 01:12:38,840
Speaker 1: to us about how challenging it is to balance being

1336
01:12:38,880 --> 01:12:45,080
Speaker 1: aggressive and getting to your landmarks, but also fundamentally breaking

1337
01:12:45,120 --> 01:12:49,760
Speaker 1: down to tackle in a sound fashion against players that

1338
01:12:49,840 --> 01:12:53,120
Speaker 1: you know, Lamar Jackson chief among them, are quicker and

1339
01:12:53,200 --> 01:12:56,240
Speaker 1: faster than you like. How do you balance the aggressiveness

1340
01:12:56,240 --> 01:12:58,360
Speaker 1: of getting to your landmark, getting to your spot on

1341
01:12:58,400 --> 01:13:03,200
Speaker 1: your assigned play, and still fundamentally tackling that a sound way.

1342
01:13:03,280 --> 01:13:05,600
Speaker 1: That's why Baltimore is so good at what they do.

1343
01:13:05,680 --> 01:13:08,280
Speaker 1: They're I mean, they're averaging two sixty a game on

1344
01:13:08,320 --> 01:13:11,559
Speaker 1: the ground. Over these last five games six games, they're

1345
01:13:11,600 --> 01:13:15,240
Speaker 1: averaging two hundred and sixty yards rushing a game. They

1346
01:13:15,280 --> 01:13:17,280
Speaker 1: have eight hundred and eighty nine rushing yards in their

1347
01:13:17,320 --> 01:13:21,840
Speaker 1: last three games. They're juggernaut and ridiculous. And here's the

1348
01:13:22,160 --> 01:13:25,360
Speaker 1: reason is this. They their offensive line is extremely well coached,

1349
01:13:25,400 --> 01:13:27,800
Speaker 1: and they're very good and talented, and their running backs

1350
01:13:27,800 --> 01:13:29,839
Speaker 1: are exactly what they are. In the course, their quarterback

1351
01:13:29,920 --> 01:13:33,160
Speaker 1: is the ultimate weapon. But what they also are able

1352
01:13:33,200 --> 01:13:35,920
Speaker 1: to do is to get you looking and thinking they're

1353
01:13:35,920 --> 01:13:38,720
Speaker 1: going one way when they've got an ability to go

1354
01:13:38,800 --> 01:13:41,040
Speaker 1: the other way right in front of you. So what

1355
01:13:41,360 --> 01:13:43,120
Speaker 1: this is and I saw the Bills defense do this

1356
01:13:43,200 --> 01:13:46,960
Speaker 1: a year ago when they Ravens came out and did that.

1357
01:13:47,960 --> 01:13:50,280
Speaker 1: Like Trent Murphy was on the field, Shack Loss was

1358
01:13:50,320 --> 01:13:52,680
Speaker 1: on the field, Jordan Phillips was on the field. These

1359
01:13:52,680 --> 01:13:57,840
Speaker 1: guys had a real ability to just sit still and

1360
01:13:58,040 --> 01:14:03,160
Speaker 1: not let the misdirection and decide their discipline. They if

1361
01:14:03,160 --> 01:14:05,479
Speaker 1: they if they had the third receiver on the on

1362
01:14:05,520 --> 01:14:09,080
Speaker 1: the boundary side, they didn't move until that receiver went.

1363
01:14:09,800 --> 01:14:11,800
Speaker 1: They didn't follow him that you know, they didn't get

1364
01:14:11,840 --> 01:14:13,640
Speaker 1: their eye they didn't like watch the run go the

1365
01:14:13,640 --> 01:14:15,559
Speaker 1: other way. They stayed with the guy they were supposed

1366
01:14:15,600 --> 01:14:19,640
Speaker 1: to be covering. That is an incredibly important aspect of

1367
01:14:19,640 --> 01:14:21,880
Speaker 1: playing defense against this Ravens team. If you've got this

1368
01:14:21,960 --> 01:14:24,559
Speaker 1: receiver over here, you guard that receiver. You're not gonna

1369
01:14:24,560 --> 01:14:27,759
Speaker 1: make the tackle over there, So don't chase it. Stay

1370
01:14:27,840 --> 01:14:30,400
Speaker 1: here because the ball may well be getting thrown back

1371
01:14:30,400 --> 01:14:32,280
Speaker 1: to the guy. Same thing on the back side of

1372
01:14:32,360 --> 01:14:35,840
Speaker 1: a running play, they'll have a motion where a guy

1373
01:14:36,000 --> 01:14:37,600
Speaker 1: come down underneath and come back the other way on

1374
01:14:37,640 --> 01:14:39,680
Speaker 1: an inside handoff or a or a pitch player on

1375
01:14:39,720 --> 01:14:42,519
Speaker 1: the end of round. They do that thinking you're gonna

1376
01:14:42,600 --> 01:14:46,400
Speaker 1: chase Lamar, and that's just it. Don't You don't chase him.

1377
01:14:47,400 --> 01:14:49,599
Speaker 1: You wait for him to come into your area, and

1378
01:14:49,640 --> 01:14:51,800
Speaker 1: you understand where your help is. So if you're say,

1379
01:14:51,840 --> 01:14:54,080
Speaker 1: for instance, if you're a J. E. Panessa and you're

1380
01:14:54,120 --> 01:14:55,879
Speaker 1: on the back side and you're on the line of scrimmage,

1381
01:14:56,280 --> 01:14:58,559
Speaker 1: you get up the field. You can't chase down the

1382
01:14:58,600 --> 01:15:00,920
Speaker 1: line to try and keep Lamar because now you lose

1383
01:15:00,920 --> 01:15:02,920
Speaker 1: your leverage because now Lamar is gonna run around you

1384
01:15:02,960 --> 01:15:05,479
Speaker 1: on the outside. So what you do is you stay there. You,

1385
01:15:05,760 --> 01:15:07,640
Speaker 1: and you get up the field. If he starts to

1386
01:15:07,640 --> 01:15:10,320
Speaker 1: come back towards you, you go up. You don't go

1387
01:15:10,360 --> 01:15:12,080
Speaker 1: at him. You go up the field to make sure

1388
01:15:12,120 --> 01:15:14,240
Speaker 1: he has to cut inside of you or stay or

1389
01:15:14,280 --> 01:15:16,320
Speaker 1: go the other way, because that's where you're helping, that's

1390
01:15:16,360 --> 01:15:19,479
Speaker 1: where your teammates are. So you've got to you hem

1391
01:15:19,560 --> 01:15:22,320
Speaker 1: him in and you tackle him when he comes when

1392
01:15:22,320 --> 01:15:25,200
Speaker 1: he runs to your arms, basically, rather than go and

1393
01:15:25,240 --> 01:15:27,240
Speaker 1: try and chase him and tackle him like a normal

1394
01:15:27,280 --> 01:15:29,040
Speaker 1: running because you lunge at him and he's by you.

1395
01:15:29,160 --> 01:15:30,800
Speaker 1: That's right, You lunge at him and he's just gonna

1396
01:15:30,800 --> 01:15:34,240
Speaker 1: step step around you. So you have to have real discipline.

1397
01:15:34,320 --> 01:15:37,120
Speaker 1: You have to play real team defense, and you can't

1398
01:15:37,680 --> 01:15:40,840
Speaker 1: chase Lamar. You've got to let Lamar come to you

1399
01:15:40,960 --> 01:15:42,880
Speaker 1: into your area where you're defending, and then try and

1400
01:15:42,920 --> 01:15:45,640
Speaker 1: tackle him in your area. All right, break time for us,

1401
01:15:45,720 --> 01:15:49,080
Speaker 1: but more of your phone calls when we return, So

1402
01:15:49,200 --> 01:15:52,320
Speaker 1: let's make sure Tom and Brockport, Kaden and jamestound Ted

1403
01:15:52,360 --> 01:15:53,920
Speaker 1: and Georgia. You guys hanging tight. We'll get to you

1404
01:15:53,920 --> 01:15:57,200
Speaker 1: in the next segment. Is we're asking you, besides the quarterbacks,

1405
01:15:57,240 --> 01:15:59,280
Speaker 1: what's that number one? X factor for the Bills. What's

1406
01:15:59,280 --> 01:16:02,320
Speaker 1: the number one X actor for the Ravens On Saturday

1407
01:16:02,400 --> 01:16:05,400
Speaker 1: night when they kick off the divisional playoff, they're painting

1408
01:16:05,400 --> 01:16:08,559
Speaker 1: the logos on the field. Steve, Yes, you're painting the

1409
01:16:08,560 --> 01:16:11,360
Speaker 1: playoff logos as we speak. We'll be back with more

1410
01:16:11,439 --> 01:16:13,960
Speaker 1: here on One Bill's Live presented by Kalida Health. It's

1411
01:16:14,000 --> 01:16:28,800
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's Radio. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker, One Bills Live

1412
01:16:29,280 --> 01:16:32,280
Speaker 1: Wednesday edition. To get to the tweet sheet in the moment,

1413
01:16:32,280 --> 01:16:34,160
Speaker 1: but we got people waiting in eight oh three h

1414
01:16:34,200 --> 01:16:37,519
Speaker 1: five fifty, So we go there first and to Cayden

1415
01:16:37,560 --> 01:16:40,200
Speaker 1: and Jamestown to lead us off. He's been waiting the longest, kid,

1416
01:16:40,280 --> 01:16:44,920
Speaker 1: What do you have for us? Hey? Go this great show. Um,

1417
01:16:45,000 --> 01:16:47,720
Speaker 1: I'm just saying on the defensive part, we know that

1418
01:16:47,800 --> 01:16:50,759
Speaker 1: the sucking Derek can lock down the receivers. The biggest

1419
01:16:50,760 --> 01:16:53,920
Speaker 1: part is not getting off in the back field, keeping

1420
01:16:53,920 --> 01:16:56,519
Speaker 1: your eyes not looking at the action with like the

1421
01:16:56,560 --> 01:16:58,519
Speaker 1: miss directions and stuff. You know what I mean. Yeah,

1422
01:16:58,560 --> 01:17:04,320
Speaker 1: I discipline right, Yeah, I'm offensive ball. I'm often to decide,

1423
01:17:04,360 --> 01:17:08,760
Speaker 1: just maintaining ball possession. No stupid turnovers, you know, just

1424
01:17:08,920 --> 01:17:12,360
Speaker 1: got it. Played one great game of football. Yeah, no

1425
01:17:12,479 --> 01:17:14,479
Speaker 1: question about it. Kating, thanks for the call. Yeah, I

1426
01:17:14,520 --> 01:17:18,360
Speaker 1: mean in turnover last week, actually neither team did. It

1427
01:17:18,400 --> 01:17:20,519
Speaker 1: was a clean game from that perspective between the Bills

1428
01:17:20,520 --> 01:17:22,760
Speaker 1: and the Colts. And you know every week you strive

1429
01:17:22,880 --> 01:17:25,360
Speaker 1: not to turn to football over. We know that, but

1430
01:17:25,520 --> 01:17:27,720
Speaker 1: I discipline. A lot of the defensive players were talking

1431
01:17:27,720 --> 01:17:30,160
Speaker 1: about that this week. A lot of the window dressing

1432
01:17:30,200 --> 01:17:32,439
Speaker 1: Greg Roman does. I mean Ryan Dabele does the same

1433
01:17:32,479 --> 01:17:36,040
Speaker 1: thing for that matter, but they dress up a lot

1434
01:17:36,040 --> 01:17:39,120
Speaker 1: of the same plays in different ways, and they get

1435
01:17:39,120 --> 01:17:42,000
Speaker 1: your eyes moving in the wrong places. I think Milano

1436
01:17:42,040 --> 01:17:44,120
Speaker 1: and Edmonds event enough experience looking at that kind of

1437
01:17:44,120 --> 01:17:46,840
Speaker 1: stuff for the better part of the last two years.

1438
01:17:47,560 --> 01:17:51,000
Speaker 1: Not saying it's easy, but you know those read options

1439
01:17:51,000 --> 01:17:54,559
Speaker 1: that Lamar runs, you know he'll pull it out at

1440
01:17:54,560 --> 01:17:56,840
Speaker 1: the last possible second. That's why you know, as much

1441
01:17:56,840 --> 01:17:58,600
Speaker 1: as you were talking about what the linebackers have to

1442
01:17:58,600 --> 01:18:01,599
Speaker 1: do to almost kind of eight and catch Lamar instead

1443
01:18:01,600 --> 01:18:04,880
Speaker 1: of lunging at him. The ends are huge in this

1444
01:18:05,000 --> 01:18:07,920
Speaker 1: also in terms of holding their water and staying out

1445
01:18:07,920 --> 01:18:10,360
Speaker 1: there instead of crashing down, because as soon as you

1446
01:18:10,400 --> 01:18:12,840
Speaker 1: take a step in, all you have to do is

1447
01:18:12,920 --> 01:18:17,080
Speaker 1: take one step inside when it looks like the read

1448
01:18:17,120 --> 01:18:19,200
Speaker 1: options go into the back and he'll outrun and he'll

1449
01:18:19,240 --> 01:18:21,880
Speaker 1: just pull it out and now he's got you. Yeah,

1450
01:18:22,000 --> 01:18:26,600
Speaker 1: it's it's it's a scary feeling. And you've got to

1451
01:18:26,720 --> 01:18:30,639
Speaker 1: have rules that you follow, discipline that you've got to maintain,

1452
01:18:31,479 --> 01:18:35,720
Speaker 1: and you know responsibilities that you're fully aware of, and

1453
01:18:35,760 --> 01:18:38,040
Speaker 1: you also have to know where your weaknesses are and

1454
01:18:38,080 --> 01:18:43,160
Speaker 1: those responsibilities. And one weakness is Lamar's speed that you've

1455
01:18:43,160 --> 01:18:46,840
Speaker 1: got to contend with. You can't give him any kind

1456
01:18:46,880 --> 01:18:49,120
Speaker 1: of leverage and actually you have to kind of over

1457
01:18:49,320 --> 01:18:54,400
Speaker 1: leverage him to the outside, have to overcompensate, right, And

1458
01:18:54,439 --> 01:18:57,000
Speaker 1: you have to because if he gets around your edge,

1459
01:18:58,040 --> 01:19:00,960
Speaker 1: there's a corner and a receiver out there and that's it.

1460
01:19:01,560 --> 01:19:04,080
Speaker 1: And inside of you there's you know, defensive lineman, all

1461
01:19:04,080 --> 01:19:06,760
Speaker 1: the other linemacker, everybody, there's everybody's inside. So you got

1462
01:19:06,760 --> 01:19:09,120
Speaker 1: to keep him in there and use your leverage as

1463
01:19:09,680 --> 01:19:12,920
Speaker 1: because of that. So that's the that's the issue. And

1464
01:19:12,960 --> 01:19:14,920
Speaker 1: we've heard a bunch of people say it and there,

1465
01:19:14,960 --> 01:19:18,599
Speaker 1: and it's true. It's gonna be a matter of absolute

1466
01:19:18,479 --> 01:19:22,000
Speaker 1: one percent discipline defensively on the front to keep them

1467
01:19:22,080 --> 01:19:24,120
Speaker 1: him dim In and they're running him. Let alone the

1468
01:19:24,120 --> 01:19:25,919
Speaker 1: fact that you got to match up with them physically.

1469
01:19:26,560 --> 01:19:29,080
Speaker 1: We go to Thomas in Brockport. Next, Thomas, what do

1470
01:19:29,120 --> 01:19:33,280
Speaker 1: you have for us, gentlemen? Your show is outstanding. You're

1471
01:19:33,320 --> 01:19:37,479
Speaker 1: what's getting me through the pandemic and a flow nation. Okay,

1472
01:19:37,640 --> 01:19:41,120
Speaker 1: appreciates what you guys. We appreciate that out for your boredom.

1473
01:19:41,880 --> 01:19:44,360
Speaker 1: But I just wanted to say that christ your articles

1474
01:19:44,360 --> 01:19:48,679
Speaker 1: are fantastic and Steve, you're truly one of my favorite players.

1475
01:19:48,920 --> 01:19:53,160
Speaker 1: I I loved you as a special teamer, but when

1476
01:19:53,160 --> 01:19:56,000
Speaker 1: you got out to play wide receiver, man, it made

1477
01:19:56,200 --> 01:19:59,760
Speaker 1: my day. Reminded me of a guy named Luke Capone.

1478
01:20:00,360 --> 01:20:03,640
Speaker 1: Is just a great receiver for the team. Anyway, my

1479
01:20:03,800 --> 01:20:07,040
Speaker 1: concern is that the Bills may not play within themselves.

1480
01:20:07,120 --> 01:20:10,000
Speaker 1: I saw a little bit of hero ball from Josh

1481
01:20:10,000 --> 01:20:13,200
Speaker 1: on that touchdown. That shot putted and that could have

1482
01:20:13,200 --> 01:20:15,880
Speaker 1: been a really dangerous play. And also the hero ball

1483
01:20:15,880 --> 01:20:19,639
Speaker 1: it just take the sack, baby, you know, that second

1484
01:20:19,720 --> 01:20:22,560
Speaker 1: go through to try and get away from the defender

1485
01:20:23,080 --> 01:20:25,800
Speaker 1: cost him the ball and it seemed to bleed into

1486
01:20:25,840 --> 01:20:28,639
Speaker 1: Andre Roberts a little bit coming out of the end zone.

1487
01:20:28,720 --> 01:20:32,479
Speaker 1: Instead of when they kept getting stuck on the seven

1488
01:20:32,560 --> 01:20:35,599
Speaker 1: yard line, he should have allowed a little bit of

1489
01:20:35,640 --> 01:20:37,360
Speaker 1: space to go. You know what, Let's just get it

1490
01:20:37,400 --> 01:20:42,519
Speaker 1: at the twenty five and go for the Baltimore I'm

1491
01:20:42,520 --> 01:20:45,559
Speaker 1: worried about the tight ends. That just doesn't seem that

1492
01:20:45,600 --> 01:20:49,680
Speaker 1: we have good matchups there. And if you're looking for

1493
01:20:49,720 --> 01:20:53,320
Speaker 1: something to watch on TV, tried The Good Place, Okay

1494
01:20:53,520 --> 01:20:57,800
Speaker 1: for a season comedy? Is that with Kristin bell Or? Yes, yeah, yeah?

1495
01:20:57,840 --> 01:21:02,600
Speaker 1: And Ted Danson. I think The Good Place? Yes, really delightful,

1496
01:21:02,800 --> 01:21:06,320
Speaker 1: good feeling show. All right, Yeah, Hey, I'll take anything

1497
01:21:06,320 --> 01:21:12,320
Speaker 1: that's uplifting. Thanks for the call, Thomas, appreciate it. Yeah,

1498
01:21:11,479 --> 01:21:14,919
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, Steve, I'm I was more concerned

1499
01:21:14,920 --> 01:21:18,080
Speaker 1: about the tight end matchups last year because they had

1500
01:21:18,160 --> 01:21:21,360
Speaker 1: three of them, two of whom scored touchdowns last year

1501
01:21:21,400 --> 01:21:25,240
Speaker 1: in that game. They really only rely on one now,

1502
01:21:25,720 --> 01:21:27,960
Speaker 1: I mean, it's really the Mark Andrews show. They traded

1503
01:21:27,960 --> 01:21:30,160
Speaker 1: away Hayden Hurst, who had the sixty one yard touchdown

1504
01:21:30,200 --> 01:21:35,760
Speaker 1: last year. He's in Atlanta, so they don't and that's

1505
01:21:35,760 --> 01:21:38,920
Speaker 1: part of the reason Baltimore struggled out of the gate

1506
01:21:39,439 --> 01:21:42,120
Speaker 1: because that three headed monster at tight end was no

1507
01:21:42,240 --> 01:21:46,160
Speaker 1: longer there, and it made them easier to defend because

1508
01:21:46,160 --> 01:21:48,040
Speaker 1: the big problem last year when they had those three

1509
01:21:48,040 --> 01:21:51,280
Speaker 1: tight ends was, well, man, you gotta put bigger guys

1510
01:21:51,320 --> 01:21:53,000
Speaker 1: on the field, because if those three tight ends come

1511
01:21:53,080 --> 01:21:56,080
Speaker 1: running at you to block, and you got safeties in

1512
01:21:56,240 --> 01:21:58,559
Speaker 1: corners trying to cover those guys, you're gonna get run over.

1513
01:21:58,840 --> 01:22:00,640
Speaker 1: So now you got linebackers on the field, and now

1514
01:22:00,680 --> 01:22:02,840
Speaker 1: they go to the pass, and now they're beating in

1515
01:22:02,880 --> 01:22:07,560
Speaker 1: the passing game. Right. Yeah, Mark Andrews, Eric Tomlinson, you

1516
01:22:07,640 --> 01:22:10,519
Speaker 1: gotta have an answer for. But Andrews is the guy

1517
01:22:10,600 --> 01:22:13,200
Speaker 1: that you know that seems to be the go to

1518
01:22:14,000 --> 01:22:17,720
Speaker 1: and they're both aload so. And then of course the

1519
01:22:17,760 --> 01:22:20,240
Speaker 1: Patrick Ricard, who's the fullback who can play wing back,

1520
01:22:20,280 --> 01:22:22,280
Speaker 1: age back, all that. He's a better athlete than I

1521
01:22:22,280 --> 01:22:24,240
Speaker 1: think he gets credit for. Made some play for them

1522
01:22:24,320 --> 01:22:27,639
Speaker 1: last week against Tennessee. John Harbaugh on the conference call

1523
01:22:27,680 --> 01:22:30,519
Speaker 1: actually told a story when he was asked about Ricard

1524
01:22:30,560 --> 01:22:33,680
Speaker 1: and he said, yeah, you know, we had converted him.

1525
01:22:33,920 --> 01:22:36,840
Speaker 1: Wade Phillips, who was with the Rams at the time

1526
01:22:36,880 --> 01:22:40,120
Speaker 1: as the defensive coordinator. They're playing them a couple of

1527
01:22:40,200 --> 01:22:42,640
Speaker 1: days of joint practices and then they had a preseason

1528
01:22:42,680 --> 01:22:49,000
Speaker 1: game two days later, Rams and Ravens. So Harbaugh overhears

1529
01:22:49,080 --> 01:22:52,120
Speaker 1: Phillips out on the practice field during the joint practice

1530
01:22:52,240 --> 01:22:54,240
Speaker 1: is saying, Oh, don't worry about covering and he's a

1531
01:22:54,240 --> 01:22:56,439
Speaker 1: defensive alignment like I don't even know if they had

1532
01:22:56,520 --> 01:22:59,360
Speaker 1: changed his number to forty two yet two years ago.

1533
01:23:00,080 --> 01:23:03,840
Speaker 1: And so Harbaugh just stored that away in his memory bank.

1534
01:23:03,880 --> 01:23:06,000
Speaker 1: They get to the preseason game, they throw him two

1535
01:23:06,080 --> 01:23:09,720
Speaker 1: touchdown passes because they didn't cover him right. And Tennessee

1536
01:23:09,920 --> 01:23:12,559
Speaker 1: last week did the same thing. He leaks out into

1537
01:23:12,560 --> 01:23:15,360
Speaker 1: the flat, there's nobody with him. Think he caught three

1538
01:23:15,400 --> 01:23:19,120
Speaker 1: or four passes last week. It's a thing the guy.

1539
01:23:19,560 --> 01:23:21,960
Speaker 1: The guy's a player, and he brings a skill set

1540
01:23:22,000 --> 01:23:24,120
Speaker 1: you got to match up with. And that's what Baltimore

1541
01:23:24,160 --> 01:23:26,720
Speaker 1: has done. I don't think John Harball has gotten enough

1542
01:23:26,760 --> 01:23:30,000
Speaker 1: credit for it. They have. I mean, you talk about

1543
01:23:30,000 --> 01:23:33,160
Speaker 1: going all in with a with a player Lamar Jackson,

1544
01:23:33,240 --> 01:23:35,000
Speaker 1: and this is and I'll tell you this too. That's

1545
01:23:35,040 --> 01:23:40,000
Speaker 1: why players like Lamar Jackson have not come along before,

1546
01:23:40,800 --> 01:23:44,720
Speaker 1: because there was an unwillingness in football circles and head

1547
01:23:44,760 --> 01:23:48,080
Speaker 1: coaching GM circles to go all in with a player

1548
01:23:48,120 --> 01:23:50,479
Speaker 1: with his skill set in order and trying to make

1549
01:23:50,560 --> 01:23:53,439
Speaker 1: him successful. And if he's successful, your team is going

1550
01:23:53,520 --> 01:23:57,479
Speaker 1: to be successful. And John Harbaugh said, let's do it.

1551
01:23:58,000 --> 01:24:01,639
Speaker 1: So they go all in the wide receiver spots, all

1552
01:24:01,680 --> 01:24:04,080
Speaker 1: the way in through the tight ends and the fullback

1553
01:24:04,120 --> 01:24:07,519
Speaker 1: and the offensive line. They are all in with this guy.

1554
01:24:07,560 --> 01:24:11,120
Speaker 1: They run the football. They have rushed for more yards

1555
01:24:11,120 --> 01:24:14,680
Speaker 1: in the last six games than six teams rushed for

1556
01:24:14,880 --> 01:24:19,599
Speaker 1: all season. They are all in with this guy, and

1557
01:24:19,680 --> 01:24:22,040
Speaker 1: they haven't gotten enough credit for it. And that and

1558
01:24:22,360 --> 01:24:25,200
Speaker 1: it's also a signal as to why it never happened before.

1559
01:24:26,400 --> 01:24:29,160
Speaker 1: You know, No, it's like, you know, we're not gonna

1560
01:24:29,200 --> 01:24:32,479
Speaker 1: throw these good skill position players to the curb and

1561
01:24:32,520 --> 01:24:35,240
Speaker 1: get guys in here who block at wide receiver rather

1562
01:24:35,280 --> 01:24:37,680
Speaker 1: than run routes. We're not gonna do that. We're not

1563
01:24:37,680 --> 01:24:39,599
Speaker 1: gonna get an offensive line to run the ball behind.

1564
01:24:39,640 --> 01:24:42,280
Speaker 1: We're not gonna get two big offensive tackles to play

1565
01:24:42,960 --> 01:24:45,519
Speaker 1: tight end, and we're not gonna get a three hundred

1566
01:24:45,520 --> 01:24:48,600
Speaker 1: pound fullback. We're just not gonna do it. It's embarrassing.

1567
01:24:48,640 --> 01:24:51,040
Speaker 1: We're not gonna do it. Well, Harba said, screw it.

1568
01:24:51,240 --> 01:24:54,519
Speaker 1: Let's do it, and they were fourteen and two last year,

1569
01:24:55,240 --> 01:24:58,479
Speaker 1: and they won a playoff game this year with this

1570
01:24:58,520 --> 01:25:03,600
Speaker 1: guy and by the way, he's the MVP. So the

1571
01:25:03,680 --> 01:25:07,080
Speaker 1: amount of effort and commitment it took from the Baltimore

1572
01:25:07,160 --> 01:25:12,200
Speaker 1: Ravens to make this happen for their team is also

1573
01:25:12,280 --> 01:25:15,200
Speaker 1: a signal as to why it hasn't happened before, how

1574
01:25:16,120 --> 01:25:18,320
Speaker 1: much of a commitment it has been. And it's yeah,

1575
01:25:18,360 --> 01:25:21,240
Speaker 1: you got you gotta go with your stick, with your

1576
01:25:21,280 --> 01:25:24,479
Speaker 1: gut because that is an unconventional decision to make, and

1577
01:25:24,479 --> 01:25:29,919
Speaker 1: it's a seismic decision. It's a franchise altering, fundamentally different decision.

1578
01:25:29,960 --> 01:25:33,559
Speaker 1: And you're right. I mean, now you know all the

1579
01:25:33,560 --> 01:25:35,880
Speaker 1: way RG three has to be their backup. Who else

1580
01:25:35,960 --> 01:25:37,559
Speaker 1: is going to be their backup? You know what? Kind

1581
01:25:37,600 --> 01:25:42,280
Speaker 1: of quarterbacks? Completely changed the playbook? Right, So, I mean

1582
01:25:42,320 --> 01:25:45,120
Speaker 1: it is from top to bottom. And kudos to John

1583
01:25:45,160 --> 01:25:48,040
Speaker 1: Harbaugh and that entire organization for making it happen and

1584
01:25:48,080 --> 01:25:51,400
Speaker 1: being so successful doing it. Yeah. Um, update on the

1585
01:25:51,400 --> 01:25:54,439
Speaker 1: head coaching front, with the vacancies that exist in the NFL,

1586
01:25:54,520 --> 01:25:57,759
Speaker 1: seven of them, to be exact. According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler,

1587
01:25:58,200 --> 01:26:01,479
Speaker 1: all is quiet out of Jacksonville on the urban Meyer front,

1588
01:26:01,760 --> 01:26:04,519
Speaker 1: but multiple people close to Meyer believe he will settle

1589
01:26:04,560 --> 01:26:06,720
Speaker 1: on the Jaguars if he does make the jump to

1590
01:26:06,720 --> 01:26:10,000
Speaker 1: the NFL. The Chargers are said to be interested in Meyer,

1591
01:26:10,280 --> 01:26:13,960
Speaker 1: but questions persist about whether they'd go all in on him,

1592
01:26:13,960 --> 01:26:17,400
Speaker 1: and Meyer has long been enamored with Trevor Lawrence. So

1593
01:26:17,439 --> 01:26:20,679
Speaker 1: the general consensus is it might take a little while,

1594
01:26:21,000 --> 01:26:23,519
Speaker 1: but that Meyer will end up in Jacksonville as the

1595
01:26:23,520 --> 01:26:26,080
Speaker 1: head coach. We'll see if there's any further developments on

1596
01:26:26,120 --> 01:26:27,920
Speaker 1: that break time for us, but when we come back,

1597
01:26:27,960 --> 01:26:29,559
Speaker 1: we'll try to get to more of your phone calls,

1598
01:26:29,560 --> 01:26:32,280
Speaker 1: and coming up in about fifteen minutes time, we'll have

1599
01:26:32,400 --> 01:26:36,840
Speaker 1: CBS Sports Evan Washburn joining us. He's based in Baltimore.

1600
01:26:36,880 --> 01:26:38,760
Speaker 1: Even though he did the Bills Colts game last week.

1601
01:26:38,920 --> 01:26:40,559
Speaker 1: It's got his ear to the ground on the Ravens

1602
01:26:40,560 --> 01:26:42,920
Speaker 1: will chat with him in the third hour of the show.

1603
01:26:43,200 --> 01:26:45,200
Speaker 1: Back in a moment here on One Bill's Live, presented

1604
01:26:45,200 --> 01:26:59,559
Speaker 1: by Kali to help. This is Buffalo Bill's Radio Chris

1605
01:26:59,560 --> 01:27:03,200
Speaker 1: Browns tasker One Bills Live. That's the name of the show.

1606
01:27:03,320 --> 01:27:05,600
Speaker 1: Closing up our number two here, hour number three to

1607
01:27:05,680 --> 01:27:08,559
Speaker 1: come with Evan Washburn from CBS Sports to lead us

1608
01:27:08,600 --> 01:27:10,920
Speaker 1: off next hour. So let's get to a couple more

1609
01:27:10,960 --> 01:27:14,200
Speaker 1: calls here before we get there to Ted in Georgia,

1610
01:27:14,280 --> 01:27:15,680
Speaker 1: we go, Ted, what do you have for us? You're

1611
01:27:15,720 --> 01:27:19,800
Speaker 1: on one Bills Live. Hey, dentleman. I believe the biggest

1612
01:27:19,960 --> 01:27:23,559
Speaker 1: X factor will be the coordinators. Based on the weather,

1613
01:27:23,880 --> 01:27:26,840
Speaker 1: They're most likely will be a field bias, and I'm

1614
01:27:26,880 --> 01:27:30,200
Speaker 1: sure that the players will have adjustments made to cleats

1615
01:27:30,240 --> 01:27:33,200
Speaker 1: and gloves and things like that. But as the game

1616
01:27:33,280 --> 01:27:36,439
Speaker 1: goes on and the conditions could change and the bias

1617
01:27:36,479 --> 01:27:40,599
Speaker 1: on the field could change, which coordinators see that adjust

1618
01:27:40,640 --> 01:27:44,679
Speaker 1: to it the quickest will give their team the biggest advantage. Yeah,

1619
01:27:44,760 --> 01:27:47,519
Speaker 1: I mean that's a good point. And fortunately for the Bills.

1620
01:27:47,560 --> 01:27:52,360
Speaker 1: I know that Brian Dable is a guy who wholeheartedly

1621
01:27:52,400 --> 01:27:55,080
Speaker 1: subscribes to making adjustments as you move along in a

1622
01:27:55,120 --> 01:27:58,719
Speaker 1: football game. So the offense is certainly equipped to adjust

1623
01:27:58,760 --> 01:28:01,800
Speaker 1: to that, and I know Leslie Fraser very often does

1624
01:28:01,840 --> 01:28:05,519
Speaker 1: the same. So how those coordinators operate on the other

1625
01:28:05,560 --> 01:28:07,960
Speaker 1: sideline remains to be seen. We don't know them quite

1626
01:28:08,040 --> 01:28:14,000
Speaker 1: as well. You know, Wink Martindale is an aggressive play caller.

1627
01:28:14,120 --> 01:28:16,320
Speaker 1: I think that goes without saying has been since he

1628
01:28:16,360 --> 01:28:19,479
Speaker 1: took the job there in Baltimore as the defensive play caller.

1629
01:28:20,720 --> 01:28:24,600
Speaker 1: How much does he change his spots. We'll see. I

1630
01:28:24,640 --> 01:28:28,400
Speaker 1: think he he's gonna stick to his guns and believe

1631
01:28:28,439 --> 01:28:32,120
Speaker 1: in what they do because it's been very successful for

1632
01:28:32,160 --> 01:28:34,040
Speaker 1: a pretty long time and their number two in points

1633
01:28:34,040 --> 01:28:39,360
Speaker 1: allowed right that it's defensively what they do, and they'll

1634
01:28:39,360 --> 01:28:41,800
Speaker 1: make some calls, but what they do is and where

1635
01:28:41,920 --> 01:28:47,000
Speaker 1: defenses hinge and their success is their adjustment packages. Because

1636
01:28:47,000 --> 01:28:50,720
Speaker 1: you can say, I'm gonna call this defense, but you

1637
01:28:50,760 --> 01:28:53,240
Speaker 1: know the offense comes out in a formation. You've got

1638
01:28:53,240 --> 01:28:55,360
Speaker 1: to adjust and you've got to you've got to put

1639
01:28:55,400 --> 01:28:58,960
Speaker 1: your defensive call and overlay it onto what the offense

1640
01:28:59,040 --> 01:29:01,800
Speaker 1: is showing you. And if they do this or do that,

1641
01:29:01,840 --> 01:29:04,280
Speaker 1: you've got adjustment packages that you've got to go to

1642
01:29:06,320 --> 01:29:09,840
Speaker 1: the And I don't get down a rabbit hole, but

1643
01:29:11,320 --> 01:29:15,400
Speaker 1: those defensive signals are crucial for an offense to figure out,

1644
01:29:15,680 --> 01:29:19,040
Speaker 1: which is why you've got, you know, coaching a coach

1645
01:29:19,080 --> 01:29:24,080
Speaker 1: who will go and nameless videotaping teams defensive signals. It's

1646
01:29:24,080 --> 01:29:26,880
Speaker 1: illegal to do because it's it's a crucial element in

1647
01:29:27,600 --> 01:29:30,040
Speaker 1: attacking that. That's why you have advanced scouting, where you

1648
01:29:30,040 --> 01:29:32,000
Speaker 1: know you've got to scout in the press box taking

1649
01:29:32,080 --> 01:29:33,920
Speaker 1: notes and he's got to write all that stuff down,

1650
01:29:33,960 --> 01:29:36,000
Speaker 1: that's right, And you've got people that you want to

1651
01:29:36,040 --> 01:29:38,720
Speaker 1: record all the noise and chatter that come off the

1652
01:29:38,760 --> 01:29:41,080
Speaker 1: field if you can and get a handle on what

1653
01:29:41,120 --> 01:29:43,000
Speaker 1: they check to and why they check to this, and

1654
01:29:43,040 --> 01:29:45,640
Speaker 1: what they're trying to stay away from and all that

1655
01:29:45,720 --> 01:29:51,080
Speaker 1: information is crucial. So when you're you know, when the

1656
01:29:51,160 --> 01:29:56,519
Speaker 1: conditions become a factor like this, you can either say

1657
01:29:56,600 --> 01:29:58,200
Speaker 1: us and I've got to use it to my advantage,

1658
01:29:58,280 --> 01:29:59,479
Speaker 1: or you can say I've got to make the best

1659
01:29:59,520 --> 01:30:02,559
Speaker 1: of a bad situation. But it always plays to the

1660
01:30:02,560 --> 01:30:08,519
Speaker 1: advantage of the offense because the defense can't react as

1661
01:30:08,600 --> 01:30:11,519
Speaker 1: quickly as they normally would, and the offense doesn't have

1662
01:30:11,600 --> 01:30:13,599
Speaker 1: to react. They just have to get through their motions.

1663
01:30:14,200 --> 01:30:16,599
Speaker 1: And when the defense gets caught off guard and they

1664
01:30:16,600 --> 01:30:18,640
Speaker 1: plant hard or whatever, you got guys falling down all

1665
01:30:18,640 --> 01:30:20,920
Speaker 1: over the place. They can't adjust, they can't change direction

1666
01:30:20,960 --> 01:30:23,760
Speaker 1: like they would normally, and a defender always has to

1667
01:30:23,880 --> 01:30:27,240
Speaker 1: change direction harder and in a more violent way than

1668
01:30:27,280 --> 01:30:32,040
Speaker 1: the offensive player. And you know, it all falls in

1669
01:30:32,080 --> 01:30:35,759
Speaker 1: favor of the offense when the conditions go bad, contrary

1670
01:30:35,800 --> 01:30:39,759
Speaker 1: to what most people think. So you know, we'll just see.

1671
01:30:40,240 --> 01:30:43,080
Speaker 1: I think a fascinating part of this game is going

1672
01:30:43,160 --> 01:30:46,360
Speaker 1: to be third down between Buffalo's offense in Baltimore's defense

1673
01:30:46,400 --> 01:30:48,880
Speaker 1: Buffalo number one in the league, third down conversion rate,

1674
01:30:49,160 --> 01:30:51,320
Speaker 1: Baltimore number two, and getting off the field on third

1675
01:30:51,320 --> 01:30:53,880
Speaker 1: down defensively. That is going to be a matching of

1676
01:30:53,920 --> 01:30:56,759
Speaker 1: wits like maybe we have not seen at all this season,

1677
01:30:56,800 --> 01:30:59,160
Speaker 1: and it all depend two and it'll all be affected

1678
01:30:59,160 --> 01:31:02,519
Speaker 1: by you know, the third, third and distance, third and

1679
01:31:02,560 --> 01:31:04,640
Speaker 1: whatever it is. If it's third and long, you know,

1680
01:31:04,880 --> 01:31:07,400
Speaker 1: obvious it changes things. Then whether it's third and one,

1681
01:31:08,960 --> 01:31:13,040
Speaker 1: that's a big difference maker. So it all runs together

1682
01:31:13,040 --> 01:31:15,200
Speaker 1: a little bit, but those crucial downs are still going

1683
01:31:15,280 --> 01:31:17,800
Speaker 1: to come up at any given time. One thing I

1684
01:31:17,840 --> 01:31:20,720
Speaker 1: wanted to let our MSG viewers take a look at,

1685
01:31:20,760 --> 01:31:23,080
Speaker 1: and we'll describe this for our radio listeners as well.

1686
01:31:24,000 --> 01:31:31,439
Speaker 1: Football outsiders recently put up their calculated odds to win

1687
01:31:31,520 --> 01:31:34,880
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl and this is based on defense defensive

1688
01:31:34,960 --> 01:31:40,120
Speaker 1: value adjust a defensive value over average, and they feel

1689
01:31:40,160 --> 01:31:45,400
Speaker 1: pretty good about the Bills odds through the wildcard round

1690
01:31:45,400 --> 01:31:48,160
Speaker 1: to win the Super Bowl. So of the eight teams remaining,

1691
01:31:48,640 --> 01:31:52,799
Speaker 1: the only team with a higher odds according to Football

1692
01:31:52,840 --> 01:31:55,519
Speaker 1: Outsiders and their number crunchers are the Green Bay Packers

1693
01:31:55,560 --> 01:31:57,880
Speaker 1: at twenty six point two percent. The Bills are right

1694
01:31:57,920 --> 01:32:00,599
Speaker 1: behind them on odds to win the Super Bowl at

1695
01:32:00,600 --> 01:32:04,000
Speaker 1: twenty two point one percent, Kansas City right behind them

1696
01:32:04,000 --> 01:32:07,160
Speaker 1: at nineteen followed by New Orleans, Tampa, Baltimore, the Rams

1697
01:32:07,200 --> 01:32:12,880
Speaker 1: in Cleveland, Baltimore at five point eight percent. Interesting, you know,

1698
01:32:12,920 --> 01:32:15,120
Speaker 1: we're all expecting this to be a super razor thin

1699
01:32:15,240 --> 01:32:17,720
Speaker 1: close game. You look at the percentage difference here on

1700
01:32:17,760 --> 01:32:21,920
Speaker 1: winning the Super Bowl and it's so pretty. But here's

1701
01:32:21,920 --> 01:32:24,280
Speaker 1: the thing, and I get it. These numbers are crunched

1702
01:32:24,280 --> 01:32:31,720
Speaker 1: from the from previous games Colts Bills haven't played. And

1703
01:32:31,800 --> 01:32:34,639
Speaker 1: this is well, this is after the wild card round. Yeah, yeah,

1704
01:32:34,640 --> 01:32:37,200
Speaker 1: but this is a matchup game. If you take the

1705
01:32:37,200 --> 01:32:40,280
Speaker 1: strengths of the Bills and lay them on the Baltimore Ravens,

1706
01:32:40,280 --> 01:32:43,080
Speaker 1: it's not great for the Bills, and which is why

1707
01:32:43,120 --> 01:32:44,680
Speaker 1: a lot of us are as concerned as we are.

1708
01:32:44,840 --> 01:32:48,280
Speaker 1: Right So, yeah, while against everybody else, the Bills are

1709
01:32:48,320 --> 01:32:50,200
Speaker 1: doing pretty good, they haven't seen this team, and this

1710
01:32:50,240 --> 01:32:53,160
Speaker 1: team is different. This team's different than everybody else. Just

1711
01:32:53,200 --> 01:32:57,680
Speaker 1: like their quarterback is kind of a unicorn, so was

1712
01:32:57,800 --> 01:33:00,040
Speaker 1: their offense around him. So you don't know how the

1713
01:33:00,040 --> 01:33:03,559
Speaker 1: Bills can match up with that and have and be

1714
01:33:03,680 --> 01:33:05,519
Speaker 1: as effective as they have been against the rest of

1715
01:33:05,520 --> 01:33:08,439
Speaker 1: the league, because this is such a unique franchise. And

1716
01:33:08,479 --> 01:33:10,240
Speaker 1: it's kind of silly because I think a lot of

1717
01:33:10,280 --> 01:33:12,000
Speaker 1: people are like, well, if we just get past this game,

1718
01:33:12,040 --> 01:33:14,160
Speaker 1: I feel really good about those odds. Well, yeah you should,

1719
01:33:14,160 --> 01:33:16,519
Speaker 1: because now you're down to four teams and you got

1720
01:33:16,520 --> 01:33:18,439
Speaker 1: a twenty five percent chance to win the thing anyway,

1721
01:33:18,600 --> 01:33:23,600
Speaker 1: right right on four left. Yeah, but then, yeah, I

1722
01:33:23,600 --> 01:33:26,479
Speaker 1: don't even want to get it. Am I oversimplifying? You

1723
01:33:26,520 --> 01:33:28,720
Speaker 1: get past these guys, then listen, I've said it a

1724
01:33:28,760 --> 01:33:31,120
Speaker 1: million times. I said it again. You forget. If the

1725
01:33:31,160 --> 01:33:34,120
Speaker 1: Bills managed to beat the Baltimore Ravens here this weekend,

1726
01:33:34,720 --> 01:33:37,360
Speaker 1: your reward for that win is an even bigger and

1727
01:33:37,880 --> 01:33:40,760
Speaker 1: more difficult game the next week. So just get your

1728
01:33:40,760 --> 01:33:43,439
Speaker 1: mind around that. Just focus on this one and you

1729
01:33:43,439 --> 01:33:45,519
Speaker 1: can worry about the next one later, because this is

1730
01:33:45,560 --> 01:33:49,680
Speaker 1: gonna be a battle this weekend. Break time for us

1731
01:33:49,720 --> 01:33:54,240
Speaker 1: when we return. CBS Sports sideline reporter Evan Washburn will

1732
01:33:54,320 --> 01:33:57,840
Speaker 1: join us as he is Baltimore based. He's got his

1733
01:33:57,880 --> 01:33:59,640
Speaker 1: ear to the ground on the Ravens. We'll ask him

1734
01:33:59,640 --> 01:34:02,920
Speaker 1: about that and also how well equipped he feels this

1735
01:34:02,960 --> 01:34:05,479
Speaker 1: Bill's team that he saw just last week as he

1736
01:34:05,520 --> 01:34:08,240
Speaker 1: was here along the sidelines for the Bill's Colts game.

1737
01:34:08,360 --> 01:34:11,479
Speaker 1: How prepared he thinks this crew is for the Ravens

1738
01:34:11,520 --> 01:34:13,840
Speaker 1: in the divisional round. Back with Evan Washburn in a

1739
01:34:13,880 --> 01:34:15,920
Speaker 1: moment here on one Bill's Line, presented by Kalida Health,

1740
01:34:15,960 --> 01:34:30,439
Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. Hello, Bills Radio Network Sports Update.

1741
01:34:30,840 --> 01:34:33,880
Speaker 1: Bill's back on the practice field and practicing indoors, So

1742
01:34:33,920 --> 01:34:36,439
Speaker 1: no news on the players until the updated injury report

1743
01:34:36,520 --> 01:34:39,519
Speaker 1: is released. Among the new additions to the injury report

1744
01:34:39,560 --> 01:34:42,280
Speaker 1: on Tuesday where Tremade Edmonds and Oliver both players were

1745
01:34:42,320 --> 01:34:45,879
Speaker 1: limited in practice Tuesday, defensive end Daryl Johnson this practice

1746
01:34:46,320 --> 01:34:48,760
Speaker 1: with a knee injury. Seahawks are in the market for

1747
01:34:48,800 --> 01:34:52,720
Speaker 1: a new offensive coordinator. Seattle fired Brian Schottenheimer, who've been

1748
01:34:52,800 --> 01:34:56,240
Speaker 1: Seattle's OCA since twenty eighteen. Now Seattle will try to

1749
01:34:56,240 --> 01:34:59,080
Speaker 1: find a coordinator who can run an offense that makes

1750
01:34:59,120 --> 01:35:02,559
Speaker 1: the most of Russell Wilson's skill set, although they're also

1751
01:35:02,600 --> 01:35:06,080
Speaker 1: looking to mix in more of a rushing attack. Philadelphia

1752
01:35:06,120 --> 01:35:08,519
Speaker 1: Eagles have a vast list of candidates for their head

1753
01:35:08,560 --> 01:35:11,799
Speaker 1: coaching vacancy, including former All Pro New England Patriots linebacker

1754
01:35:11,880 --> 01:35:14,840
Speaker 1: Gerard Mayo. They'll spend eight seasons with the Patriots as

1755
01:35:14,840 --> 01:35:17,960
Speaker 1: a player, last two as an inside linebackers coach for

1756
01:35:18,200 --> 01:35:21,320
Speaker 1: New England, and hockey is back. The NHL officially gets

1757
01:35:21,400 --> 01:35:25,640
Speaker 1: underway as their fifty six game schedule begins tonight with

1758
01:35:25,760 --> 01:35:28,240
Speaker 1: five games on the slate. The Sabers begin their season

1759
01:35:28,280 --> 01:35:31,439
Speaker 1: as they host the Washington Capitals tomorrow night at the

1760
01:35:31,520 --> 01:35:35,360
Speaker 1: Key Bank Center downtown. That is your sports update from

1761
01:35:35,360 --> 01:35:38,000
Speaker 1: One Bill's Drive Chris Brown, Steve Tasker, our number three

1762
01:35:38,000 --> 01:35:41,240
Speaker 1: of the program, broadcasting from the Seneca Studios in Orchard Park,

1763
01:35:41,640 --> 01:35:46,639
Speaker 1: and join now by NFL on CBS reporter, Sideline Man,

1764
01:35:47,000 --> 01:35:51,760
Speaker 1: CBS Sports Studio host Ravens preseason TV reporter and some

1765
01:35:51,840 --> 01:35:54,120
Speaker 1: of the best hair you're gonna find on television. It's

1766
01:35:54,160 --> 01:35:57,800
Speaker 1: one Evan Washburn joining us. Evan, where's the floss Man?

1767
01:35:57,840 --> 01:35:59,840
Speaker 1: You had it out for Stefan Daggs, but we get

1768
01:35:59,880 --> 01:36:03,400
Speaker 1: no flaws this time for us. Huh, Well, it's a

1769
01:36:03,400 --> 01:36:06,120
Speaker 1: little bit later in the day to keep my floss

1770
01:36:06,160 --> 01:36:08,840
Speaker 1: into the morning and at night. But you're right, I

1771
01:36:08,840 --> 01:36:11,040
Speaker 1: should now have that attached to me if that's going

1772
01:36:11,080 --> 01:36:13,880
Speaker 1: to become part of part of my brand. It worked

1773
01:36:13,920 --> 01:36:17,760
Speaker 1: for Stefan, so I'll ride that was a good icebreaker

1774
01:36:17,800 --> 01:36:19,679
Speaker 1: with him. Yeah, you got him cutting up right away

1775
01:36:19,680 --> 01:36:21,320
Speaker 1: when you busted out the flaws. That was a good

1776
01:36:21,320 --> 01:36:23,200
Speaker 1: play by you. Hey, Evan, I gotta ask you. We're

1777
01:36:23,200 --> 01:36:26,120
Speaker 1: asking about these Baltimore Ravens coming into Buffalo and you've

1778
01:36:26,120 --> 01:36:27,600
Speaker 1: seen him and you're kind of got your ear to

1779
01:36:27,640 --> 01:36:30,920
Speaker 1: the ground about that franchise. What would they have been

1780
01:36:30,960 --> 01:36:33,240
Speaker 1: as good this year as last year if it weren't

1781
01:36:33,240 --> 01:36:36,439
Speaker 1: for getting ravaged by the virus during mid part of

1782
01:36:36,439 --> 01:36:37,960
Speaker 1: the season, if it would have been more of a

1783
01:36:38,000 --> 01:36:40,680
Speaker 1: normal schedule year, that kind of thing. Are they as

1784
01:36:40,720 --> 01:36:44,479
Speaker 1: good as they were a year ago? If not better? Well,

1785
01:36:44,680 --> 01:36:47,120
Speaker 1: it's Steve. I think it's they're a different team in

1786
01:36:47,160 --> 01:36:49,720
Speaker 1: a lot of ways, and we didn't expect that. I

1787
01:36:49,760 --> 01:36:53,240
Speaker 1: don't necessarily place the COVID outbreak and what it did

1788
01:36:53,320 --> 01:36:57,559
Speaker 1: to a month of their season as reason for their

1789
01:36:58,120 --> 01:37:02,280
Speaker 1: overall struggles. Obviously, it impacted them in some games that

1790
01:37:02,400 --> 01:37:05,160
Speaker 1: led to most notably a loss in Pittsburgh, but they

1791
01:37:05,200 --> 01:37:09,120
Speaker 1: were trending in a negative direction before the COVID outbreak.

1792
01:37:09,160 --> 01:37:12,479
Speaker 1: I would point more towards some injuries they had to

1793
01:37:12,520 --> 01:37:16,639
Speaker 1: start the season and some absences, most notably Marshal Yanda

1794
01:37:17,360 --> 01:37:20,040
Speaker 1: his retirement at the end of last season impacted the

1795
01:37:20,080 --> 01:37:22,439
Speaker 1: way they started this year in a way that I

1796
01:37:22,479 --> 01:37:26,599
Speaker 1: don't think anybody myself included, who lives here and covered

1797
01:37:26,640 --> 01:37:29,880
Speaker 1: that team and covers the league as much as we

1798
01:37:29,960 --> 01:37:33,440
Speaker 1: thought it would. So I think what happened with COVID

1799
01:37:33,439 --> 01:37:37,320
Speaker 1: became a galvanizing factor for this team, and they have

1800
01:37:37,520 --> 01:37:40,599
Speaker 1: been much different mentally as they've come out of them.

1801
01:37:41,040 --> 01:37:43,920
Speaker 1: How would you say, Evan, they are most different at

1802
01:37:43,920 --> 01:37:46,120
Speaker 1: the tight end position. Last year they were this three

1803
01:37:46,160 --> 01:37:49,600
Speaker 1: headed monster. But you know, Hayden Hurst is now in Atlanta,

1804
01:37:49,920 --> 01:37:53,679
Speaker 1: traded down there, and it's pretty much the Mark Andrews

1805
01:37:53,720 --> 01:37:56,559
Speaker 1: show at the tight end position in the passing game.

1806
01:37:56,920 --> 01:38:00,679
Speaker 1: So how would you describe how their utilising the tight

1807
01:38:00,760 --> 01:38:05,120
Speaker 1: end position differently this year, maybe as opposed to last year. Well, Chris,

1808
01:38:05,160 --> 01:38:07,479
Speaker 1: it's a great point, and that goes hand in hand

1809
01:38:07,479 --> 01:38:11,240
Speaker 1: with the most of yonda retirement. Because you mentioned Hayden Hurst,

1810
01:38:11,439 --> 01:38:14,160
Speaker 1: they trade him to Atlanta. That seems like a great

1811
01:38:14,200 --> 01:38:17,519
Speaker 1: move because they get some nice draft capital back, but

1812
01:38:17,720 --> 01:38:20,160
Speaker 1: they realized quickly to start the season that man that

1813
01:38:20,280 --> 01:38:23,080
Speaker 1: three tight end package we had was pretty good and

1814
01:38:23,080 --> 01:38:25,680
Speaker 1: it worked really well with what Lamar does well. And

1815
01:38:25,720 --> 01:38:28,320
Speaker 1: then on top of the loss of Hearst, they lose

1816
01:38:28,439 --> 01:38:31,599
Speaker 1: Nick Boyle in the Patriots game on Sunday Night Football

1817
01:38:32,000 --> 01:38:34,560
Speaker 1: for the season with a knee injury, and looked the

1818
01:38:34,680 --> 01:38:37,680
Speaker 1: common football fan and maybe even football fans up there

1819
01:38:37,720 --> 01:38:39,760
Speaker 1: and in Western New York don't know a lot about

1820
01:38:39,840 --> 01:38:43,200
Speaker 1: Nick Boyle, but he's the best blocking tight end in

1821
01:38:43,240 --> 01:38:47,200
Speaker 1: the NFL, and he was like having an extra offensive lineman,

1822
01:38:47,360 --> 01:38:52,040
Speaker 1: experienced offensive lineman on that offense and with such a

1823
01:38:52,040 --> 01:38:53,640
Speaker 1: big part of it, and would make some plays in

1824
01:38:53,680 --> 01:38:56,800
Speaker 1: the passing game. So Hurst and boil Out has made

1825
01:38:56,800 --> 01:39:00,000
Speaker 1: them very one dimensional in that position group. And Andrew

1826
01:39:00,560 --> 01:39:02,840
Speaker 1: is still a top tier tight end, so he'll make

1827
01:39:02,880 --> 01:39:06,479
Speaker 1: some plays, but they're nowhere near as multidimensional as they

1828
01:39:06,520 --> 01:39:09,879
Speaker 1: were in that position a year ago. How many snaps

1829
01:39:09,880 --> 01:39:13,599
Speaker 1: and how much of a difference does Patrick Ricard make?

1830
01:39:13,640 --> 01:39:15,640
Speaker 1: I mean, he's a one of a kind athlete in

1831
01:39:15,680 --> 01:39:18,639
Speaker 1: the NFL and nobody else has a fullback like him.

1832
01:39:18,920 --> 01:39:21,360
Speaker 1: And how do the Ravens use him and how much

1833
01:39:21,400 --> 01:39:25,040
Speaker 1: how many snaps does he get? Well, I think a

1834
01:39:25,160 --> 01:39:27,840
Speaker 1: snap counts it's pretty high. I mean I would say

1835
01:39:27,880 --> 01:39:31,680
Speaker 1: it's probably either three quarters, if not more of some

1836
01:39:31,720 --> 01:39:35,920
Speaker 1: of those offensive snaps. Now, his role on in the

1837
01:39:36,000 --> 01:39:40,320
Speaker 1: offense is ever changing. I'd say majority of the time

1838
01:39:40,760 --> 01:39:45,360
Speaker 1: he's in that conventional lead blocking back fullback role. But

1839
01:39:45,479 --> 01:39:48,040
Speaker 1: as we saw last week against the Titans, and he's

1840
01:39:48,080 --> 01:39:50,840
Speaker 1: shown sprinkles of it, and it has been to try

1841
01:39:50,840 --> 01:39:54,000
Speaker 1: and replace what they lost in Nick Boyle and maybe

1842
01:39:54,000 --> 01:39:58,519
Speaker 1: Hayden Hurst would degree he is providing some plays in

1843
01:39:58,560 --> 01:40:01,120
Speaker 1: the offense as a pass catch, as a run bocker

1844
01:40:01,200 --> 01:40:05,040
Speaker 1: in short yarded situations, but at his core, he's a

1845
01:40:05,080 --> 01:40:08,519
Speaker 1: full back. And then just with respect to their to

1846
01:40:08,600 --> 01:40:12,320
Speaker 1: the Ravens defense, Evan, we know they like to play

1847
01:40:12,360 --> 01:40:14,840
Speaker 1: man coverage and blitz a great deal of the highest

1848
01:40:14,840 --> 01:40:17,439
Speaker 1: blitz right team in the league. But how do you

1849
01:40:17,520 --> 01:40:22,360
Speaker 1: feel this matchup goes for them? Because while they have

1850
01:40:22,439 --> 01:40:25,280
Speaker 1: three corners that are really really good, I don't know

1851
01:40:25,320 --> 01:40:27,920
Speaker 1: if they have four and so if the Bills go

1852
01:40:28,000 --> 01:40:33,120
Speaker 1: ten personnel and go four wide, I'm kind of leaning

1853
01:40:33,120 --> 01:40:35,599
Speaker 1: advantage Bills there because I think somebody's going to get

1854
01:40:35,600 --> 01:40:40,320
Speaker 1: open before the blitz even gets there. To Josh, I

1855
01:40:40,360 --> 01:40:42,360
Speaker 1: think that's fair. The one thing I would say is

1856
01:40:42,479 --> 01:40:45,280
Speaker 1: that they do have the luxury in their secondary, especially

1857
01:40:45,280 --> 01:40:49,120
Speaker 1: now that Jimmy Smith's healthy, is that their corners are

1858
01:40:49,280 --> 01:40:51,360
Speaker 1: good in the run game and in the past game.

1859
01:40:51,439 --> 01:40:54,040
Speaker 1: Marlon Humphrey is one of the most physical corners in

1860
01:40:54,080 --> 01:40:57,040
Speaker 1: the league and punching the ball out. Marcus Peters is

1861
01:40:57,080 --> 01:40:59,760
Speaker 1: really your only true corner in the sense that he

1862
01:40:59,840 --> 01:41:02,240
Speaker 1: just wants to cover guys and not really get too

1863
01:41:02,280 --> 01:41:05,519
Speaker 1: involved in in the run game. But everybody else on

1864
01:41:05,520 --> 01:41:08,880
Speaker 1: that back end is very comfortable one blitzing, as you noted,

1865
01:41:08,920 --> 01:41:10,960
Speaker 1: but also making plays in the run game, so that

1866
01:41:11,000 --> 01:41:14,400
Speaker 1: allows them to have to not have to do too

1867
01:41:14,520 --> 01:41:18,519
Speaker 1: much subbing um based off of personnel packages. To Sean,

1868
01:41:18,600 --> 01:41:22,320
Speaker 1: Elliott has has done a nice job as he stepped

1869
01:41:22,360 --> 01:41:24,600
Speaker 1: in for Earl Thomas, so they got rid of in

1870
01:41:24,640 --> 01:41:27,559
Speaker 1: training camp at that safety position. So I do think

1871
01:41:27,600 --> 01:41:29,920
Speaker 1: that's gonna be a fun as we always describe chess

1872
01:41:29,920 --> 01:41:33,360
Speaker 1: match throughout this game, and when you talk about how

1873
01:41:33,760 --> 01:41:36,360
Speaker 1: you know this game comes down. How shocking was it

1874
01:41:36,520 --> 01:41:40,200
Speaker 1: last week to see Justin Tucker miss a field goal

1875
01:41:40,240 --> 01:41:43,240
Speaker 1: in the in the game. I mean, I I don't

1876
01:41:43,240 --> 01:41:46,360
Speaker 1: even like you're not even paying attention. I'm not even

1877
01:41:46,360 --> 01:41:48,120
Speaker 1: paying attention when he kicks the ball. He has been

1878
01:41:48,160 --> 01:41:50,479
Speaker 1: so fantastic, which means he's not due to miss another

1879
01:41:50,479 --> 01:41:53,240
Speaker 1: one until late in the twenty twenty two season, right,

1880
01:41:53,280 --> 01:41:55,400
Speaker 1: I mean, he's he's gonna be pretty money. What about

1881
01:41:55,439 --> 01:41:58,160
Speaker 1: their special teams for the Ravens, how they've done this

1882
01:41:58,240 --> 01:42:02,400
Speaker 1: year well? And Steve, I'm not just saying this to

1883
01:42:02,439 --> 01:42:04,360
Speaker 1: play kate you this is a going to be a

1884
01:42:04,360 --> 01:42:08,280
Speaker 1: great special teams matchup. I mean, these are two organizations,

1885
01:42:08,360 --> 01:42:11,320
Speaker 1: coaching staffs and units that that take a ton of

1886
01:42:11,320 --> 01:42:14,200
Speaker 1: pride in that area and find advantage and an edge

1887
01:42:14,200 --> 01:42:17,160
Speaker 1: in games in that area. The Tucker miss You're right,

1888
01:42:17,400 --> 01:42:20,200
Speaker 1: was it made you look at the TV twice? Did

1889
01:42:20,240 --> 01:42:22,599
Speaker 1: I really just see that? Because look, he missed a kick.

1890
01:42:22,680 --> 01:42:25,800
Speaker 1: I think early in the year on Thursday Night Football

1891
01:42:26,280 --> 01:42:28,320
Speaker 1: there was a great jinx there. I think Joe Buck

1892
01:42:28,360 --> 01:42:30,519
Speaker 1: had it and that one was surprising, But there were

1893
01:42:30,560 --> 01:42:33,960
Speaker 1: some conditions I don't know what happened in Tennessee. But yes,

1894
01:42:34,080 --> 01:42:37,600
Speaker 1: he's probably not do But look, the conditions are going

1895
01:42:37,640 --> 01:42:39,680
Speaker 1: to be what they are. But whether it just be

1896
01:42:39,800 --> 01:42:43,000
Speaker 1: the field position game, how they can again find the

1897
01:42:43,040 --> 01:42:46,960
Speaker 1: hidden yardage. I think whoever wins out in that department

1898
01:42:47,000 --> 01:42:49,080
Speaker 1: in the game that we all expect to be so

1899
01:42:49,200 --> 01:42:52,360
Speaker 1: close and the margin for error or determining of a

1900
01:42:52,400 --> 01:42:55,040
Speaker 1: winner is going to be so small that those can

1901
01:42:55,080 --> 01:42:58,599
Speaker 1: be really pivotal moments in a game. Talking to NFL

1902
01:42:58,640 --> 01:43:01,679
Speaker 1: on CBS reporter Evan Washburn, who was here in Buffalo

1903
01:43:01,760 --> 01:43:05,720
Speaker 1: last week doing the wildcard game for CBS, and we

1904
01:43:05,760 --> 01:43:08,080
Speaker 1: haven't even asked you, you know, some of your takeaways

1905
01:43:08,120 --> 01:43:10,599
Speaker 1: from that game, Evan, and I think we can all

1906
01:43:10,600 --> 01:43:12,679
Speaker 1: agree that the Bills did not play their best game

1907
01:43:12,720 --> 01:43:16,599
Speaker 1: as a collective. Josh Allen essentially putting the team on

1908
01:43:16,640 --> 01:43:20,120
Speaker 1: his back with his performance and pretty much willing this

1909
01:43:20,160 --> 01:43:23,960
Speaker 1: team to victory. But knowing Sean McDermott having been around

1910
01:43:24,000 --> 01:43:26,360
Speaker 1: him enough over the past four years as a head coach, Evan,

1911
01:43:27,479 --> 01:43:30,720
Speaker 1: he's one of the best at getting his players to

1912
01:43:30,880 --> 01:43:33,519
Speaker 1: kind of course correct and move on to the next

1913
01:43:34,000 --> 01:43:36,599
Speaker 1: And I'm wondering if you share the feeling that I

1914
01:43:36,680 --> 01:43:38,599
Speaker 1: do that this team is going to be a much

1915
01:43:38,640 --> 01:43:43,880
Speaker 1: more focused team this week in terms of execution and

1916
01:43:44,200 --> 01:43:46,760
Speaker 1: the consistency of that execution. I guess I guess what

1917
01:43:46,800 --> 01:43:49,360
Speaker 1: I'm saying is I'm anticipating a much better performance this

1918
01:43:49,400 --> 01:43:50,920
Speaker 1: week than we saw last week. I don't know if

1919
01:43:50,920 --> 01:43:53,840
Speaker 1: you feel the same. Well, I mean, I think that

1920
01:43:53,840 --> 01:43:57,479
Speaker 1: that that's probably a safe bet, and probably I would

1921
01:43:57,479 --> 01:44:03,200
Speaker 1: trend more towards just and attention to the fact that

1922
01:44:03,360 --> 01:44:05,920
Speaker 1: they got away with one in a lot of ways

1923
01:44:06,160 --> 01:44:09,679
Speaker 1: last weekend, that their their talent in certain areas, whether

1924
01:44:09,680 --> 01:44:12,240
Speaker 1: it be as you mentioned, Josh or Stefan making a

1925
01:44:12,280 --> 01:44:15,120
Speaker 1: big play, or just the way the ball bounced or

1926
01:44:15,200 --> 01:44:18,280
Speaker 1: didn't bounce on that fumble for Josh Allen that allowed

1927
01:44:18,320 --> 01:44:21,800
Speaker 1: them to escape with a win. I wouldn't say they

1928
01:44:21,880 --> 01:44:24,200
Speaker 1: I mean, they didn't execute to a degree that they

1929
01:44:24,200 --> 01:44:26,680
Speaker 1: would like, but I didn't walk away going man that

1930
01:44:26,800 --> 01:44:30,800
Speaker 1: they really were sloppy throughout that game. It is going

1931
01:44:30,880 --> 01:44:35,400
Speaker 1: to be a different beast in Baltimore on Saturday night,

1932
01:44:35,720 --> 01:44:38,200
Speaker 1: and I think if nothing else, the fact that you know,

1933
01:44:38,760 --> 01:44:43,679
Speaker 1: you maybe got away with one on Saturday afternoon will

1934
01:44:43,760 --> 01:44:47,000
Speaker 1: heighten whatever needs to be heightened. As they head into

1935
01:44:47,040 --> 01:44:49,320
Speaker 1: this one, and you're right, Sean McDermott is as good

1936
01:44:49,320 --> 01:44:52,880
Speaker 1: as any coach in the league at really forcing his

1937
01:44:53,000 --> 01:44:58,000
Speaker 1: players and his group to find those those those areas

1938
01:44:58,080 --> 01:45:02,600
Speaker 1: of attention. We're getting reports out of Baltimore that today

1939
01:45:02,600 --> 01:45:05,559
Speaker 1: that the Ravens are dunking the footballs in water before

1940
01:45:05,560 --> 01:45:07,439
Speaker 1: they handed the Lamar let him do it. He's and

1941
01:45:07,560 --> 01:45:10,280
Speaker 1: he's still dealing with his jam thumb on his left hand,

1942
01:45:10,280 --> 01:45:13,760
Speaker 1: non throwing hand. How much of a How worrisome is

1943
01:45:13,760 --> 01:45:17,280
Speaker 1: it for the Ravens to come up and know they

1944
01:45:17,360 --> 01:45:21,599
Speaker 1: might walk into some poor weather. I don't know if

1945
01:45:21,640 --> 01:45:25,120
Speaker 1: I would go worrisome, Steve, I've ideally, I mean, Lamar

1946
01:45:25,400 --> 01:45:29,040
Speaker 1: has admitted he'd rather not be snowing. He's a South

1947
01:45:29,080 --> 01:45:32,479
Speaker 1: Florida guy. But I remember a game last year against

1948
01:45:32,479 --> 01:45:34,519
Speaker 1: the San Francisco forty nine ers and a team that

1949
01:45:34,560 --> 01:45:36,040
Speaker 1: made it all the way to the Super Bowl and

1950
01:45:36,120 --> 01:45:39,840
Speaker 1: arguably could have stole that from Kansas City, playing them

1951
01:45:39,880 --> 01:45:43,360
Speaker 1: in a torrential downpour here in Baltimore, and Lamar planning

1952
01:45:43,400 --> 01:45:46,600
Speaker 1: pretty well and winning that game. So in Baltimore is

1953
01:45:46,640 --> 01:45:50,280
Speaker 1: not It's it's not climb or controlled. It's not Indie

1954
01:45:50,320 --> 01:45:53,320
Speaker 1: It's it's not South Florida, So these guys have all

1955
01:45:53,360 --> 01:45:59,320
Speaker 1: played in challenging conditions. Look, Buffalo is probably more in

1956
01:45:59,400 --> 01:46:02,519
Speaker 1: tune to it right now, but I think the Ravens

1957
01:46:02,520 --> 01:46:05,839
Speaker 1: are plenty comfortable going up there and dealing with whatever

1958
01:46:05,880 --> 01:46:09,040
Speaker 1: elements are coming their way. Yeah, they've been really good

1959
01:46:09,080 --> 01:46:10,960
Speaker 1: on the road. I mean, we know John Horball just

1960
01:46:10,960 --> 01:46:14,200
Speaker 1: set a record, a league record for head coaching road

1961
01:46:14,240 --> 01:46:17,559
Speaker 1: playoff victories with eighty past Tom Landry and Tom Coughlin

1962
01:46:17,640 --> 01:46:22,280
Speaker 1: this past week. What about this JK Dobbins Evan. I mean,

1963
01:46:23,920 --> 01:46:26,719
Speaker 1: he's obviously really come on here in the second half

1964
01:46:26,720 --> 01:46:28,840
Speaker 1: of the season, so much so that mark ingram is

1965
01:46:28,880 --> 01:46:34,519
Speaker 1: a weekly inactive What part of his skill set maybe

1966
01:46:34,600 --> 01:46:37,080
Speaker 1: has made this rushing attack even better than it was

1967
01:46:37,200 --> 01:46:39,080
Speaker 1: last year, although I know they didn't reach quite the

1968
01:46:39,120 --> 01:46:43,880
Speaker 1: rushing totals they did in twenty nineteen. He's extremely explosive,

1969
01:46:44,280 --> 01:46:48,040
Speaker 1: and I think that there was a prudent and patient

1970
01:46:48,080 --> 01:46:51,960
Speaker 1: approach that frustrated JK to some degree to start this season.

1971
01:46:52,360 --> 01:46:55,320
Speaker 1: They did not give him a bevy of carries to

1972
01:46:55,360 --> 01:46:57,479
Speaker 1: start the year. I mean there were certain games where

1973
01:46:57,760 --> 01:47:00,200
Speaker 1: he was just a couple of touches and that was it,

1974
01:47:00,280 --> 01:47:02,559
Speaker 1: and you're right, it was mark Ingram and Gus Edwards

1975
01:47:02,560 --> 01:47:06,760
Speaker 1: and Lamar's obviously the primary runners in a lot of

1976
01:47:06,760 --> 01:47:09,679
Speaker 1: these play calls in these formations and what they're trying

1977
01:47:09,680 --> 01:47:12,120
Speaker 1: to do in the run game. But as they came

1978
01:47:12,120 --> 01:47:16,639
Speaker 1: out of the COVID situation, they made the concerted effort

1979
01:47:16,640 --> 01:47:20,439
Speaker 1: to shift things towards JK. And all he's done has

1980
01:47:20,479 --> 01:47:23,559
Speaker 1: proved them right. And again I go back to just

1981
01:47:23,920 --> 01:47:27,280
Speaker 1: his style of running is one that's explosive. It's physical,

1982
01:47:27,400 --> 01:47:30,599
Speaker 1: he seeks out contact, but he also has the ability

1983
01:47:30,880 --> 01:47:33,720
Speaker 1: to make you miss in the hole and gain the

1984
01:47:33,840 --> 01:47:37,080
Speaker 1: edge on you at times. Not necessarily a big threat

1985
01:47:37,120 --> 01:47:39,479
Speaker 1: in the passing game, but has shown the ability at

1986
01:47:39,520 --> 01:47:42,599
Speaker 1: times to be a threat as a pass catcher out

1987
01:47:42,640 --> 01:47:46,800
Speaker 1: of the backfield. It's one of those things where he

1988
01:47:46,880 --> 01:47:50,280
Speaker 1: does have and he resembles a lot of backs. But

1989
01:47:50,320 --> 01:47:52,320
Speaker 1: if you're in Baltimore and you see that number and

1990
01:47:52,360 --> 01:47:55,679
Speaker 1: that body type Ray Rice at his best on the field,

1991
01:47:55,920 --> 01:47:57,960
Speaker 1: you can see a lot of similarities to what JK.

1992
01:47:58,120 --> 01:48:01,120
Speaker 1: Dobbins is doing. What have the Rays and John Harboub

1993
01:48:01,200 --> 01:48:03,839
Speaker 1: been saying about the kind of team they see in Buffalo.

1994
01:48:03,920 --> 01:48:07,240
Speaker 1: Certainly Buffalo's put together a nice season and got you know,

1995
01:48:07,560 --> 01:48:10,320
Speaker 1: home field for this game. What are the Ravens. Is

1996
01:48:10,320 --> 01:48:13,439
Speaker 1: there anything that they have said about the Buffalo Bills

1997
01:48:13,479 --> 01:48:16,559
Speaker 1: team that they're facing that gives you any insight into

1998
01:48:16,600 --> 01:48:19,880
Speaker 1: what they think this game's gonna look like? You know what, Steve,

1999
01:48:19,920 --> 01:48:23,559
Speaker 1: I think what I've sort of heard is that it's

2000
01:48:23,560 --> 01:48:26,040
Speaker 1: a lot of what Buffalo has been hearing in recent weeks.

2001
01:48:26,080 --> 01:48:29,360
Speaker 1: And I'll even go a bit deeper specific to what

2002
01:48:29,360 --> 01:48:32,720
Speaker 1: we got from Indianapolis, is they just know how explosive

2003
01:48:32,920 --> 01:48:36,160
Speaker 1: this Bills team can be and the fact that they

2004
01:48:36,160 --> 01:48:39,839
Speaker 1: were up there last year and that team was different.

2005
01:48:40,040 --> 01:48:44,080
Speaker 1: It relied on a defense in Buffalo that did frustrate

2006
01:48:44,160 --> 01:48:46,759
Speaker 1: Lamar and the Ravens. I think they see a different

2007
01:48:46,800 --> 01:48:49,559
Speaker 1: team this year where they, as you guys well know,

2008
01:48:49,720 --> 01:48:52,559
Speaker 1: is things have shifted to Josh Allen and Stefan and

2009
01:48:52,600 --> 01:48:56,080
Speaker 1: that whole group really taking the lead and being a

2010
01:48:56,080 --> 01:48:58,360
Speaker 1: team that you have to be prepared to go back

2011
01:48:58,400 --> 01:49:02,240
Speaker 1: and forth with, maybe in the scoring department. So what

2012
01:49:02,520 --> 01:49:05,840
Speaker 1: seems like, you know, a decision that you would make

2013
01:49:05,920 --> 01:49:08,720
Speaker 1: or wouldn't make against a certain opponent, you maybe think

2014
01:49:08,760 --> 01:49:12,680
Speaker 1: differently against Buffalo that was something that Indianapolis brought up.

2015
01:49:12,680 --> 01:49:14,720
Speaker 1: I know we got into it on the broadcast that

2016
01:49:15,160 --> 01:49:18,639
Speaker 1: it was clear that they had that Kansas City in them,

2017
01:49:18,640 --> 01:49:21,280
Speaker 1: where when you go into this game you have to

2018
01:49:21,320 --> 01:49:24,920
Speaker 1: make decisions that maybe you wouldn't make another games based

2019
01:49:24,960 --> 01:49:29,040
Speaker 1: off of their ability to quickly put up fourteen twenty

2020
01:49:29,080 --> 01:49:31,920
Speaker 1: one points in a blink of an eye. One thing

2021
01:49:31,920 --> 01:49:33,559
Speaker 1: that I've been kind of hitting a lot of people

2022
01:49:33,640 --> 01:49:35,519
Speaker 1: up on that we've had on the show, Evan, and

2023
01:49:35,560 --> 01:49:38,040
Speaker 1: I wanted to bounce it off you as well, is

2024
01:49:38,160 --> 01:49:44,720
Speaker 1: this surging of young quarterbacks in the AFC conference. Obviously

2025
01:49:44,760 --> 01:49:46,559
Speaker 1: we have four of them still left on the table

2026
01:49:46,640 --> 01:49:49,439
Speaker 1: here in the current playoff format with Mahomes and the

2027
01:49:49,479 --> 01:49:52,639
Speaker 1: three guys from the twenty eighteen quarterback class with Baker,

2028
01:49:52,760 --> 01:49:56,400
Speaker 1: Josh and Lamar. But you look at the AFC landscape, Evan,

2029
01:49:56,800 --> 01:49:58,960
Speaker 1: I mean you're talking besides the guys I mentioned, you

2030
01:49:59,040 --> 01:50:05,720
Speaker 1: got Watson, Burrow, Mahomes, obviously Tua, Justin Herbert, and then

2031
01:50:05,760 --> 01:50:10,280
Speaker 1: probably Trevor Lawrence to Jacksonville this spring. I mean that

2032
01:50:10,439 --> 01:50:13,160
Speaker 1: is that that is a hell of a quarterback landscape

2033
01:50:13,200 --> 01:50:15,840
Speaker 1: in the AFC. You want to talk about ultra competitive,

2034
01:50:16,240 --> 01:50:21,240
Speaker 1: that's gonna be crazy, isn't it. It's awesome. And I

2035
01:50:21,280 --> 01:50:23,920
Speaker 1: know that the TV deals are coming up, so who

2036
01:50:23,920 --> 01:50:25,720
Speaker 1: knows what things are gonna look like, but I know

2037
01:50:26,000 --> 01:50:28,400
Speaker 1: and Steve can speak to this too. Get in the

2038
01:50:28,400 --> 01:50:30,800
Speaker 1: AFC at CBS for the most part, I mean, there's

2039
01:50:30,800 --> 01:50:33,280
Speaker 1: cross flex here and there, but man, it feels like

2040
01:50:33,320 --> 01:50:36,280
Speaker 1: each week we get a chance to to see some

2041
01:50:36,360 --> 01:50:39,080
Speaker 1: of these young guys play and play well. And I

2042
01:50:39,120 --> 01:50:40,760
Speaker 1: do think it. I mean, it speaks to a lot

2043
01:50:40,800 --> 01:50:43,559
Speaker 1: of things. And I mean, I know you guys talk

2044
01:50:43,640 --> 01:50:45,720
Speaker 1: to Jordan Palmer a bunch, just based off of his

2045
01:50:45,800 --> 01:50:48,640
Speaker 1: relationship with with Josh and what he's been able to

2046
01:50:48,640 --> 01:50:51,320
Speaker 1: do to help his game at least when he's away

2047
01:50:51,400 --> 01:50:54,280
Speaker 1: from from Buffalo and the organization in the offseason. I

2048
01:50:54,320 --> 01:50:58,960
Speaker 1: think there's just the quarterback play and in how specific

2049
01:50:59,080 --> 01:51:02,360
Speaker 1: these young athletes are getting to that position so that

2050
01:51:02,400 --> 01:51:04,320
Speaker 1: when we get a chance to see him on the

2051
01:51:04,360 --> 01:51:08,320
Speaker 1: professional level, they're not ready to be in you know,

2052
01:51:08,640 --> 01:51:11,960
Speaker 1: super Bowl champions or caliber maybe in year one or

2053
01:51:12,040 --> 01:51:14,760
Speaker 1: year two, even though we've seen some of these breakout performances,

2054
01:51:14,960 --> 01:51:18,360
Speaker 1: but there's no doubt they are just more prepared. So

2055
01:51:18,720 --> 01:51:21,360
Speaker 1: it's it's exciting for all of us that are involved

2056
01:51:21,400 --> 01:51:24,520
Speaker 1: in the league in the game to be able to

2057
01:51:24,560 --> 01:51:27,000
Speaker 1: look across the landscape. As you mentioned Chris and say

2058
01:51:27,360 --> 01:51:30,320
Speaker 1: wof I mean basically half the league's got a quarterback

2059
01:51:30,360 --> 01:51:33,719
Speaker 1: in their twenties that looks to be pretty good. Steve

2060
01:51:33,840 --> 01:51:35,680
Speaker 1: was saying, like, if you're if you're a guy up

2061
01:51:35,680 --> 01:51:38,000
Speaker 1: for a head coaching job, you may not want to

2062
01:51:38,040 --> 01:51:40,000
Speaker 1: go to the AFC. You may want to get a

2063
01:51:40,080 --> 01:51:41,840
Speaker 1: job in the NFC. You got a better chance to

2064
01:51:41,920 --> 01:51:43,960
Speaker 1: win it. Think about it. I think Philadelphia and Atlanta

2065
01:51:44,080 --> 01:51:46,160
Speaker 1: or the spots to Land. I mean Atlanta, you've got

2066
01:51:46,240 --> 01:51:49,040
Speaker 1: Tom Brady and Drew Brees what for another year or two,

2067
01:51:50,160 --> 01:51:51,720
Speaker 1: and then they'll have to go with search. And I

2068
01:51:51,840 --> 01:51:54,800
Speaker 1: push back, Steve, because if you go to Philly, you

2069
01:51:54,920 --> 01:51:56,840
Speaker 1: might not have to deal with young quarterbacks, but you've

2070
01:51:56,840 --> 01:51:59,120
Speaker 1: got to deal with your own quarterback problem of your own.

2071
01:51:59,280 --> 01:52:01,160
Speaker 1: So I mean, like you got to look at I

2072
01:52:01,160 --> 01:52:03,599
Speaker 1: would sort of take the reverse and be like, if

2073
01:52:04,160 --> 01:52:07,000
Speaker 1: I'm looking at jobs in LA has got Herbert, that

2074
01:52:07,120 --> 01:52:10,280
Speaker 1: to me is a desirable place to be. Yeah, you

2075
01:52:10,360 --> 01:52:13,040
Speaker 1: might have to compete against young quarterbacks in that division

2076
01:52:13,080 --> 01:52:15,599
Speaker 1: in the FC West and Mahomes and you know, Derek

2077
01:52:15,600 --> 01:52:17,479
Speaker 1: Carr is stilly a young guy and who knows what

2078
01:52:17,560 --> 01:52:20,000
Speaker 1: Lock's going to be. But I don't know the idea

2079
01:52:20,040 --> 01:52:23,640
Speaker 1: of going to Atlanta or Philly where you either have

2080
01:52:23,920 --> 01:52:27,120
Speaker 1: a quarterback question Mark and Wentz or Jalen Hurts or

2081
01:52:27,160 --> 01:52:30,200
Speaker 1: Atlanta or you might not have a quarterback. That to me,

2082
01:52:30,200 --> 01:52:33,559
Speaker 1: it can be more concerned. Yeah, it's gonna be interesting

2083
01:52:33,600 --> 01:52:36,639
Speaker 1: to see how this coaching hiring cycle goes and what's

2084
01:52:36,640 --> 01:52:38,880
Speaker 1: going to happen with it. But you're right. One last

2085
01:52:38,880 --> 01:52:40,960
Speaker 1: thing I want to talk to you about is we've

2086
01:52:41,000 --> 01:52:44,040
Speaker 1: asked our listeners about this game in here in Buffalo,

2087
01:52:44,160 --> 01:52:47,519
Speaker 1: Baltimore Buffalo, what's your X factor? If you were going

2088
01:52:47,600 --> 01:52:50,200
Speaker 1: to say, obviously, Lamar and Josh Allen are going to

2089
01:52:50,240 --> 01:52:51,880
Speaker 1: be a big part of what goes on. But if

2090
01:52:51,880 --> 01:52:55,000
Speaker 1: there's something off the radar, either a player or an

2091
01:52:55,040 --> 01:52:56,880
Speaker 1: aspect of the game that you think is going to

2092
01:52:56,960 --> 01:52:59,240
Speaker 1: come out of nowhere to be a factor in this game,

2093
01:52:59,240 --> 01:53:01,400
Speaker 1: what would it be? What you'r X factor for the

2094
01:53:01,400 --> 01:53:05,439
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens at Buffalo Bills. I think it's it's the

2095
01:53:05,520 --> 01:53:08,599
Speaker 1: Bill's defense and their ability to look they're not going

2096
01:53:08,640 --> 01:53:13,760
Speaker 1: to stop the run. But affect it, frustrate it, neutralize it.

2097
01:53:14,439 --> 01:53:19,519
Speaker 1: I thought Jonathan Taylor at times exposed that defense, and look,

2098
01:53:19,520 --> 01:53:23,800
Speaker 1: they're going to get a much more potent, committed and

2099
01:53:24,000 --> 01:53:28,120
Speaker 1: explosive running game in Baltimore. I know that that Indie

2100
01:53:28,160 --> 01:53:31,320
Speaker 1: possesses that O line and a really talented back in

2101
01:53:31,400 --> 01:53:34,880
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor. So it's not a poor running game that

2102
01:53:35,000 --> 01:53:38,000
Speaker 1: had some success acus Buffalo. But I would not say

2103
01:53:38,040 --> 01:53:40,920
Speaker 1: that Indie's running game resembles what you're going to get

2104
01:53:41,520 --> 01:53:44,760
Speaker 1: in Baltimore and the complexity that it can have in

2105
01:53:44,840 --> 01:53:49,280
Speaker 1: the mental strain they can put on defensive linemen and linebackers,

2106
01:53:49,280 --> 01:53:51,240
Speaker 1: and then on the back end, which which the Bills

2107
01:53:51,240 --> 01:53:54,360
Speaker 1: possess is good tacklers and hide and poyer. But if

2108
01:53:55,040 --> 01:53:57,439
Speaker 1: if I look at that that game, I think when

2109
01:53:57,479 --> 01:54:01,559
Speaker 1: all things are maybe created equal, it's if if Buffalo

2110
01:54:01,680 --> 01:54:05,679
Speaker 1: can can frustrate Baltimore and keep that run game from

2111
01:54:05,680 --> 01:54:08,599
Speaker 1: being successful even early, even though they came back from

2112
01:54:08,640 --> 01:54:10,880
Speaker 1: ten down, I think that puts the Bills in a

2113
01:54:10,920 --> 01:54:14,960
Speaker 1: great position to win this game. Evan, as always, thanks

2114
01:54:14,960 --> 01:54:17,040
Speaker 1: for the time. We appreciate you joining us and kind

2115
01:54:17,040 --> 01:54:19,120
Speaker 1: of breaking this one down. We've figured you had a

2116
01:54:19,120 --> 01:54:21,160
Speaker 1: good handle on the Ravens, So we saw that as helpful.

2117
01:54:21,200 --> 01:54:24,760
Speaker 1: So thanks for making the time. Thanks you got it, guys,

2118
01:54:24,760 --> 01:54:26,200
Speaker 1: I was going to be with you all right. That's

2119
01:54:26,280 --> 01:54:31,120
Speaker 1: NFL on CBS reporter Evan Washburn. CBS this weekend has

2120
01:54:31,160 --> 01:54:35,360
Speaker 1: the Sunday afternoon game between the Browns and the Chiefs,

2121
01:54:35,880 --> 01:54:40,760
Speaker 1: and Fox has the rams At Packers. NBC has our

2122
01:54:40,880 --> 01:54:44,560
Speaker 1: Sunday night game on Saturday night, and then on Sunday

2123
01:54:44,640 --> 01:54:47,360
Speaker 1: night it's Fox again with Tampa and New Orleans. So,

2124
01:54:47,680 --> 01:54:52,400
Speaker 1: so the Saturday game is rams At Packers and Ravens

2125
01:54:52,440 --> 01:54:55,680
Speaker 1: Bills that day. Yeah, yep, that's so. CBS just has

2126
01:54:55,720 --> 01:54:58,320
Speaker 1: the Browns and the Chiefs, right. I think CBS though,

2127
01:54:58,360 --> 01:55:01,640
Speaker 1: has the Super Bowl. They do, so they that's what happens.

2128
01:55:01,680 --> 01:55:04,640
Speaker 1: They start to get pushed aside for the you know,

2129
01:55:05,240 --> 01:55:08,320
Speaker 1: just get one of those. Let the other networks bound

2130
01:55:08,440 --> 01:55:12,240
Speaker 1: of some money. Yeah, some money. It's true. I'm gonna

2131
01:55:12,360 --> 01:55:14,240
Speaker 1: you know, why, why say anything else? That's what it's

2132
01:55:14,280 --> 01:55:17,200
Speaker 1: gonna be. Um, this just you know, in the stats

2133
01:55:17,200 --> 01:55:20,160
Speaker 1: that you accumulate for all these games, I came across

2134
01:55:20,200 --> 01:55:31,520
Speaker 1: this one. Rodgers has lost his last four playoff starts,

2135
01:55:32,880 --> 01:55:37,520
Speaker 1: regular and postseason. Wow. When he's facing a team with

2136
01:55:37,560 --> 01:55:40,760
Speaker 1: the number one ranked total defense. So he's won some

2137
01:55:40,840 --> 01:55:44,480
Speaker 1: games the Rams. Whenever he faces a number one ranked

2138
01:55:44,480 --> 01:55:47,600
Speaker 1: defense total defense, he has lost in his last four

2139
01:55:47,640 --> 01:55:50,320
Speaker 1: attempts in a regular and the postseason. And of course

2140
01:55:50,360 --> 01:55:54,040
Speaker 1: the Rams that they're facing are just that um our

2141
01:55:54,120 --> 01:55:56,000
Speaker 1: guy hung four touchdowns on those guys. I don't know

2142
01:55:56,040 --> 01:55:57,360
Speaker 1: if you do you remember that. I say that. I

2143
01:55:57,400 --> 01:55:59,200
Speaker 1: do remember that I hung four touchdowns on those and

2144
01:55:59,320 --> 01:56:03,160
Speaker 1: I think he threw for four bills, yes, four hundred

2145
01:56:03,200 --> 01:56:06,240
Speaker 1: yards as well. About got AFC Offensive Player of the Week,

2146
01:56:06,280 --> 01:56:10,480
Speaker 1: the first of three. With with that one, we do

2147
01:56:10,520 --> 01:56:12,200
Speaker 1: have a little time here, so let's go to the

2148
01:56:12,200 --> 01:56:14,760
Speaker 1: tweet sheet, which is brought to you, as you know,

2149
01:56:14,800 --> 01:56:17,720
Speaker 1: by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment. He didn't not company,

2150
01:56:17,800 --> 01:56:23,280
Speaker 1: He did not throw bills one team reception. Sorry, okay, okay,

2151
01:56:23,360 --> 01:56:28,040
Speaker 1: go ahead. That's facts. Besides the quarterbacks. What's the number

2152
01:56:28,040 --> 01:56:30,600
Speaker 1: one X factor for the Bills Ravens Saturday from Rachel

2153
01:56:30,680 --> 01:56:32,840
Speaker 1: She says, our front seven needs to step up after

2154
01:56:32,920 --> 01:56:35,640
Speaker 1: a mixed performance last week. If they can maintain their

2155
01:56:35,640 --> 01:56:37,920
Speaker 1: gaps and contain, we can limit the Ravens running game,

2156
01:56:37,960 --> 01:56:39,880
Speaker 1: force them to throw from the pocket. But if we

2157
01:56:39,880 --> 01:56:42,080
Speaker 1: give up big runs like we have at points, it

2158
01:56:42,200 --> 01:56:44,720
Speaker 1: could be a long day. So she's in the same

2159
01:56:44,720 --> 01:56:48,680
Speaker 1: boat as Evan Washburn Bill's defense from Michael Maybe I'm

2160
01:56:48,680 --> 01:56:53,160
Speaker 1: not answering this correctly, but speed, discipline, containment, and tackling

2161
01:56:53,680 --> 01:56:56,520
Speaker 1: sounds just like a coach. We have to contain and

2162
01:56:56,560 --> 01:56:59,600
Speaker 1: tackle Lamar, force him to have to throw the ball,

2163
01:56:59,640 --> 01:57:02,920
Speaker 1: and we win. Easier said than done. We have the players,

2164
01:57:03,040 --> 01:57:06,320
Speaker 1: love you guys, Go Bills. I was providing emphasis to

2165
01:57:06,880 --> 01:57:10,280
Speaker 1: all of his all caps words and his thing there. Yeah,

2166
01:57:10,880 --> 01:57:16,240
Speaker 1: from Kevin Buffalo's defense, you can't stop Lamar. You can

2167
01:57:16,280 --> 01:57:18,840
Speaker 1: only hope to contain him. Also, I think we need

2168
01:57:18,880 --> 01:57:22,360
Speaker 1: to bring up Antonio Williams. He's shown some explosiveness that

2169
01:57:22,480 --> 01:57:25,440
Speaker 1: we haven't even seen all season from the running back position. Yeah,

2170
01:57:25,440 --> 01:57:27,640
Speaker 1: we were talking about that yesterday. That's the one element

2171
01:57:27,680 --> 01:57:30,640
Speaker 1: that he brings explosiveness. So if the Bills feel they

2172
01:57:30,680 --> 01:57:33,680
Speaker 1: need to have that, he'll be up. And it might

2173
01:57:33,720 --> 01:57:38,120
Speaker 1: not even be Steve An either or between Antonio Williams

2174
01:57:38,160 --> 01:57:41,920
Speaker 1: and t. J. Yeldon, although Yelden doesn't give you special

2175
01:57:41,960 --> 01:57:45,480
Speaker 1: teams abilities and I we haven't seen Antonio Williams a

2176
01:57:45,560 --> 01:57:47,920
Speaker 1: practice enough to know whether or not he's a factor

2177
01:57:48,000 --> 01:57:50,280
Speaker 1: on any of the special teams units. If he is,

2178
01:57:50,640 --> 01:57:56,120
Speaker 1: it would certainly enhance his chance that they bring. Yeah,

2179
01:57:56,120 --> 01:57:59,520
Speaker 1: if Williams can play special teams as well as run

2180
01:57:59,560 --> 01:58:01,920
Speaker 1: the football helps his cost. It does help his cause.

2181
01:58:02,000 --> 01:58:04,160
Speaker 1: But they've already got Taiwan Jones a running back as well.

2182
01:58:04,400 --> 01:58:08,440
Speaker 1: But if if they wanted t j and Antonio Williams

2183
01:58:08,480 --> 01:58:12,080
Speaker 1: up and they could sit you know, Taiwan Jones down

2184
01:58:12,240 --> 01:58:15,160
Speaker 1: and you know, make it up on the special teams

2185
01:58:15,160 --> 01:58:16,480
Speaker 1: with somebody else, they could do that as well and

2186
01:58:16,520 --> 01:58:18,480
Speaker 1: get both those running backs up there, and so they

2187
01:58:18,480 --> 01:58:20,880
Speaker 1: could they could both have an opportunity to play. Who

2188
01:58:20,920 --> 01:58:23,760
Speaker 1: knows how they how they see that those contributions. But

2189
01:58:24,280 --> 01:58:27,120
Speaker 1: Taiwan Jones has been active and playing in all sixteen

2190
01:58:27,160 --> 01:58:29,120
Speaker 1: games this year, so he has been hurt. Yeah, Yeah,

2191
01:58:29,240 --> 01:58:30,960
Speaker 1: it'd be hard to see him sitting down for that.

2192
01:58:31,000 --> 01:58:34,280
Speaker 1: But it's the playoffs and it's a winner, go home scenario,

2193
01:58:34,320 --> 01:58:36,880
Speaker 1: so we'll see from Jack. He says. On offense, the

2194
01:58:36,920 --> 01:58:38,480
Speaker 1: Bills have to get the ball in the hands of

2195
01:58:38,520 --> 01:58:41,920
Speaker 1: Brown and Mackenzie in space and motor on slip screens

2196
01:58:41,960 --> 01:58:43,960
Speaker 1: to use their speed on the boundary and stay aggressive

2197
01:58:44,000 --> 01:58:46,880
Speaker 1: to beat Baltimore's blitz on defense, we need to attack

2198
01:58:46,880 --> 01:58:49,760
Speaker 1: the run and not over pursue or else Lamar will

2199
01:58:49,800 --> 01:58:52,040
Speaker 1: be tossing it over our heads. I will say this

2200
01:58:52,680 --> 01:58:56,840
Speaker 1: late last season, Brian Dable would split Devin Singletary out

2201
01:58:56,840 --> 01:58:59,440
Speaker 1: a good deal and when they got him on linebackers,

2202
01:58:59,480 --> 01:59:02,480
Speaker 1: that was in it vantage. And I wonder if they

2203
01:59:02,520 --> 01:59:04,760
Speaker 1: try to mess around with that again, because they will

2204
01:59:04,800 --> 01:59:07,080
Speaker 1: go empty. I mean they'll go eleven personnel, but they'll

2205
01:59:07,120 --> 01:59:10,240
Speaker 1: go empty with the tight end and Singletary usually split

2206
01:59:10,280 --> 01:59:12,480
Speaker 1: out wide, and if they get the right matchup there,

2207
01:59:12,600 --> 01:59:16,360
Speaker 1: Josh will exploit it. The thing he's here's an aspect

2208
01:59:16,360 --> 01:59:17,720
Speaker 1: of this that kind of gets lost when you go

2209
01:59:17,800 --> 01:59:22,320
Speaker 1: empty and the defense decides to blitz you. Here's the

2210
01:59:22,360 --> 01:59:24,440
Speaker 1: thing they're gonna get. They can get home. They're gonna

2211
01:59:24,440 --> 01:59:26,320
Speaker 1: get home. They're gonna get home fast. But they're gonna

2212
01:59:26,320 --> 01:59:28,320
Speaker 1: have They're gonna be spread very thin on the backside

2213
01:59:28,360 --> 01:59:30,320
Speaker 1: on the outside. Now, what happens is what they do

2214
01:59:30,360 --> 01:59:32,720
Speaker 1: is they cover up those slot receivers and the tight ends.

2215
01:59:32,840 --> 01:59:36,720
Speaker 1: They kind of jump those routes because they know the

2216
01:59:36,800 --> 01:59:39,720
Speaker 1: quarterback's got to get rid of it quick. Yeah, here's

2217
01:59:39,720 --> 01:59:42,840
Speaker 1: the problem with a defense like that. The Bills have

2218
01:59:42,880 --> 01:59:45,360
Speaker 1: a quarterback that can flick it all the way to

2219
01:59:45,400 --> 01:59:48,839
Speaker 1: the wide side of the field on a route faster

2220
01:59:48,920 --> 01:59:51,280
Speaker 1: than the dB can jump on the route. So if

2221
01:59:51,280 --> 01:59:54,280
Speaker 1: they're gonna they'll play off on the outside knowing that

2222
01:59:54,280 --> 01:59:55,640
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks is gonna get rid of it on the

2223
01:59:55,680 --> 01:59:58,240
Speaker 1: inside and not give up the big play. If Josh

2224
01:59:58,240 --> 02:00:01,240
Speaker 1: Allen wants, if he can, he can. His outlet can

2225
02:00:01,280 --> 02:00:02,600
Speaker 1: be as wide as you want it to be in

2226
02:00:02,600 --> 02:00:05,960
Speaker 1: the ball will get there faster, fast enough for the

2227
02:00:06,000 --> 02:00:08,560
Speaker 1: back or the running back or the receiver to turn

2228
02:00:08,600 --> 02:00:10,120
Speaker 1: around and make some guy miss and then go for

2229
02:00:10,160 --> 02:00:12,920
Speaker 1: a big one. So he can have an outlet pass

2230
02:00:13,040 --> 02:00:16,520
Speaker 1: that is further away from from the ball than other

2231
02:00:16,600 --> 02:00:21,200
Speaker 1: quarterbacks because of his arm strength. That affects their ability

2232
02:00:21,200 --> 02:00:24,000
Speaker 1: to go bump and run on the outside. And here's

2233
02:00:24,000 --> 02:00:25,440
Speaker 1: the thing that you know if they line up in

2234
02:00:25,840 --> 02:00:28,080
Speaker 1: one cover cover one where they have a one free

2235
02:00:28,120 --> 02:00:30,480
Speaker 1: safety and everybody else is bumping run across the front

2236
02:00:30,520 --> 02:00:33,120
Speaker 1: and everybody's around the line is scrimmage in an empty set,

2237
02:00:33,880 --> 02:00:35,680
Speaker 1: or even if you have a one back, you know

2238
02:00:35,800 --> 02:00:40,480
Speaker 1: somebody's got him man to man that causes problems because

2239
02:00:40,520 --> 02:00:43,000
Speaker 1: the minute you don't get to the quarterback, you may

2240
02:00:43,040 --> 02:00:46,640
Speaker 1: give up a touchdown. And this guy can do it.

2241
02:00:46,720 --> 02:00:50,960
Speaker 1: And if Josh extends the play outside the pocket, it's

2242
02:00:51,080 --> 02:00:54,920
Speaker 1: really good. You're done. You're done. It's a touchdown. Yeah.

2243
02:00:54,920 --> 02:00:59,320
Speaker 1: And if you would happen invariably a defensive Coordinay'll try it.

2244
02:01:00,720 --> 02:01:02,680
Speaker 1: And if he does it and it works, he'll come

2245
02:01:02,680 --> 02:01:04,240
Speaker 1: back to it. And if he doesn't and it and

2246
02:01:04,320 --> 02:01:07,000
Speaker 1: he gets beat for a touchdown, you will never see

2247
02:01:07,040 --> 02:01:11,120
Speaker 1: it again. So hope that he gives up a touchdown

2248
02:01:11,120 --> 02:01:13,640
Speaker 1: on the play because Josh did something special. Break time

2249
02:01:13,680 --> 02:01:16,640
Speaker 1: for us. When we return, it's time for coffee with

2250

02:02:08,160 --> 02:02:11,000
Speaker 1: Who would you say is the loudest in the team,

2264
02:02:11,160 --> 02:02:14,840
Speaker 1: the loudest person on the team? I feel like Jay No,

2265
02:02:15,000 --> 02:02:17,520
Speaker 1: it is a person that uh, Josh Gorman is a

2266
02:02:17,600 --> 02:02:20,520
Speaker 1: person definitely that I would say it's the loudest of

2267
02:02:20,560 --> 02:02:23,240
Speaker 1: the team as far as she's not caring about the

2268
02:02:23,280 --> 02:02:26,280
Speaker 1: surround us of what's going on. He's just gonna be himself.

2269
02:02:26,400 --> 02:02:29,280
Speaker 1: So he's funny. The funny guy that come to mind.

2270
02:02:29,320 --> 02:02:33,520
Speaker 1: He's definitely a funny guy too because he talks. He

2271
02:02:33,560 --> 02:02:37,000
Speaker 1: tries to talk talk very intellectual, but the things that

2272
02:02:37,040 --> 02:02:40,960
Speaker 1: come out of his mouth doesn't. They don't make sense,

2273
02:02:41,080 --> 02:02:43,880
Speaker 1: and it has it has you thinking, sit back, thinking

2274
02:02:43,920 --> 02:02:47,160
Speaker 1: like man, when Josh Gorna leaves, what could I take

2275
02:02:47,200 --> 02:02:49,440
Speaker 1: from that conversation that that's going to you know, make

2276
02:02:49,520 --> 02:02:54,080
Speaker 1: me a better person? Anybody that jumps over charging bullish

2277
02:02:54,080 --> 02:02:58,440
Speaker 1: crazy and he was the guy to do that. So yeah, hey,

2278
02:02:58,480 --> 02:03:01,440
Speaker 1: that was pretty impressive though he shaved the videos. Okay, oh,

2279
02:03:01,480 --> 02:03:04,800
Speaker 1: it definitely was impressive. But that's like taking chances with

2280
02:03:04,840 --> 02:03:07,160
Speaker 1: your life, like, you know, for no reason, for no

2281
02:03:07,320 --> 02:03:09,720
Speaker 1: real reason. He has no reason in the world to

2282
02:03:09,760 --> 02:03:11,960
Speaker 1: do that, Like he had no reason to do it,

2283
02:03:12,040 --> 02:03:15,040
Speaker 1: but he did it because he's jable. I so told

2284

2293
02:03:47,440 --> 02:03:50,520

2294
02:03:50,600 --> 02:03:52,680

2343

02:07:30,960 --> 02:07:33,800
Speaker 1: can't live there because if you do have fix, if

2348
02:07:33,840 --> 02:07:36,080
Speaker 1: you don't have thick skin, and then you show your

2349
02:07:36,080 --> 02:07:39,160
Speaker 1: thin skinned you're done. Oh you are the target for

2350
02:07:39,200 --> 02:07:41,200
Speaker 1: the rest of the year. They because there's no he'll

2351
02:07:41,240 --> 02:07:44,600
Speaker 1: be merciless. This, See's right, there is no mercy. There's

2352
02:07:44,640 --> 02:07:50,280
Speaker 1: absolutely no mercy. They will they will whenever they can.

2353
02:07:51,400 --> 02:07:54,800
Speaker 1: They'll they'll prick your thin skin. You know, they'll they'll

2354
02:07:54,800 --> 02:07:56,640
Speaker 1: give you a little I gotta tell you, like one

2355
02:07:56,680 --> 02:07:59,560
Speaker 1: guy that I saw take it relentlessly. And this is

2356
02:07:59,560 --> 02:08:04,400
Speaker 1: when I was a young reporter, Corbin Lisina. Oh my god,

2357
02:08:05,360 --> 02:08:07,680
Speaker 1: oh my gosh. They killed him when he was a

2358
02:08:07,760 --> 02:08:11,320
Speaker 1: rookie lineman. That lineman room down at that end of

2359
02:08:11,360 --> 02:08:13,680
Speaker 1: the locker room in the stadium. It was in you know,

2360
02:08:13,720 --> 02:08:16,320
Speaker 1: it was in the back corner, as you know, and

2361
02:08:16,680 --> 02:08:21,600
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, it was merciless. It was borderline cruel,

2362
02:08:21,960 --> 02:08:25,280
Speaker 1: like just some of the nicknames they had for him.

2363
02:08:26,680 --> 02:08:31,080
Speaker 1: He just got killed like every like the media. We

2364
02:08:31,080 --> 02:08:33,840
Speaker 1: would only go in there on Wednesdays and Thursdays, and

2365
02:08:33,880 --> 02:08:35,960
Speaker 1: we'd have to stand out in the tunnel on Fridays.

2366
02:08:35,960 --> 02:08:38,040
Speaker 1: We weren't even getting into the locker room on Fridays,

2367
02:08:38,320 --> 02:08:40,320
Speaker 1: so it's basically Wednesday and Thursday the only days we're

2368
02:08:40,320 --> 02:08:44,760
Speaker 1: in there. Every week, it was clockwork like he was

2369
02:08:44,840 --> 02:08:49,080
Speaker 1: getting killed and he didn't have any comebacks, which made

2370
02:08:49,120 --> 02:08:51,760
Speaker 1: you feeling even worse for the guy. Right, here's the

2371
02:08:51,800 --> 02:08:55,080
Speaker 1: thing about Therman used to give him trouble about something

2372
02:08:55,080 --> 02:08:56,600
Speaker 1: he goes. I knew, I always know when he's in

2373
02:08:56,600 --> 02:08:58,960
Speaker 1: the game, and I'm like, what are you talking about. Well,

2374
02:09:00,320 --> 02:09:06,240
Speaker 1: at one point I started checking it out. And whenever

2375
02:09:07,000 --> 02:09:10,080
Speaker 1: the ball was snapped and Lesina was in the game,

2376
02:09:10,360 --> 02:09:12,240
Speaker 1: the moment the ball was snapped, when they get out,

2377
02:09:12,240 --> 02:09:14,280
Speaker 1: when the when the offensive line wouldn't explode out of

2378
02:09:14,320 --> 02:09:20,240
Speaker 1: their stance, Corbon would make this noise and it was

2379
02:09:20,280 --> 02:09:23,960
Speaker 1: like a puke noise, but it yeah, but it was

2380
02:09:24,000 --> 02:09:29,440
Speaker 1: like right like and it was the same noise every

2381
02:09:29,560 --> 02:09:32,920
Speaker 1: single time. I was like boo, and I was like,

2382
02:09:33,160 --> 02:09:36,000
Speaker 1: is that is that a guy? What what is that?

2383
02:09:36,320 --> 02:09:38,800
Speaker 1: And it's like that's you know, everybody's pretty soon it

2384
02:09:38,880 --> 02:09:43,960
Speaker 1: was corbon yea. And so Thurman would talk. Thurman was

2385
02:09:44,000 --> 02:09:46,240
Speaker 1: relentless on to do but yeah, that's that's funny. He

2386
02:09:46,320 --> 02:09:48,680
Speaker 1: had a whole bunch of nicknames, most of which are

2387
02:09:48,720 --> 02:09:50,760
Speaker 1: not suitable for air, but I think puke face was

2388
02:09:50,800 --> 02:09:52,720
Speaker 1: one of them. And it was probably because of that noise.

2389
02:09:52,880 --> 02:09:54,880
Speaker 1: I couldn't get over it. And it was just one

2390
02:09:54,920 --> 02:09:57,440
Speaker 1: of those things. He just just his dad a thing.

2391
02:09:57,480 --> 02:10:01,840
Speaker 1: Everybody but every sing own position group just oh man.

2392
02:10:01,880 --> 02:10:04,600
Speaker 1: They wrote him all the offensive. He took it all.

2393
02:10:04,680 --> 02:10:06,840
Speaker 1: I mean, he's just kind of grand and be like yeah,

2394
02:10:06,840 --> 02:10:09,240
Speaker 1: okay whatever, any like, Yeah, yeah he was. And that's

2395
02:10:09,480 --> 02:10:11,520
Speaker 1: because half of that they know, it's like it's all

2396
02:10:11,560 --> 02:10:14,040
Speaker 1: out of love anyway, right, the guys you're in the

2397
02:10:14,120 --> 02:10:17,120
Speaker 1: room with every day, and it's an expression of affection absolutely,

2398
02:10:17,440 --> 02:10:21,560
Speaker 1: absolutely a little twisted, but yes, but yes, and and

2399
02:10:21,600 --> 02:10:23,560
Speaker 1: I'll say it's the same thing. I mean, it's you

2400
02:10:23,640 --> 02:10:25,600
Speaker 1: know you can make funny. It's like making fun of

2401
02:10:25,600 --> 02:10:27,520
Speaker 1: your own family a little more than you wouldn't laybody

2402
02:10:27,560 --> 02:10:29,320
Speaker 1: else to do it. So that's the way it goes.

2403
02:10:29,480 --> 02:10:32,600
Speaker 1: But yeah, that was rough, and there's a whole bunch

2404
02:10:32,640 --> 02:10:35,000
Speaker 1: of others, I'm sure, but oh yeah, that one sticks

2405
02:10:35,040 --> 02:10:36,960
Speaker 1: in mind. But that's but that thing with turdevious and

2406
02:10:36,960 --> 02:10:38,800
Speaker 1: I would I would invite go back and watch it.

2407
02:10:38,800 --> 02:10:40,920
Speaker 1: It's just the two two of them sitting there, sitting separate,

2408
02:10:40,920 --> 02:10:45,400
Speaker 1: They're on two different screens, Turdavious white, and they can't

2409
02:10:45,680 --> 02:10:48,640
Speaker 1: they can't be together. And you get a sense of

2410
02:10:49,240 --> 02:10:51,200
Speaker 1: I mean, Christian Waye's been here for two years, just

2411
02:10:52,280 --> 02:10:56,120
Speaker 1: no chance to play this year, he's ineligible. Biden his

2412
02:10:56,240 --> 02:11:00,840
Speaker 1: time trying to make the squad. And and the you know,

2413
02:11:01,040 --> 02:11:03,360
Speaker 1: the friendship that is formed there is you know, you

2414
02:11:04,120 --> 02:11:06,880
Speaker 1: Christians are running back. Yeah, so these two guys that

2415
02:11:06,960 --> 02:11:08,480
Speaker 1: you know, that's that's how it is in the locker room.

2416
02:11:08,520 --> 02:11:11,920
Speaker 1: It doesn't it's it makes strange bedfellows when you know,

2417
02:11:11,960 --> 02:11:13,600
Speaker 1: you become friends with a guy on another on the

2418
02:11:13,640 --> 02:11:15,320
Speaker 1: other side of the ball, in another position. But that's

2419
02:11:15,360 --> 02:11:16,920
Speaker 1: that's the way the locker room is. It's and It's

2420
02:11:17,280 --> 02:11:20,080
Speaker 1: this is a pretty healthy locker room break time for us, Steve,

2421
02:11:20,160 --> 02:11:21,800
Speaker 1: and I'll close it up when we return with what

2422
02:11:21,880 --> 02:11:24,320
Speaker 1: have we learned here? On One Bill's Live presented by

2423
02:11:24,280 --> 02:11:41,000
Speaker 1: a Collid of Health. It's Buffalo Bills Radio. What have

2424
02:11:41,080 --> 02:11:44,480
Speaker 1: we learned from today's show? Brought to you by Skyworks,

2425
02:11:44,520 --> 02:11:48,440
Speaker 1: the official construction of Quimin Rental Company of the Buffalo Bills.

2426
02:11:48,440 --> 02:11:50,440
Speaker 1: And you know what I learned today, Steve? Right before

2427
02:11:50,480 --> 02:11:54,440
Speaker 1: we came on the show, today would have been Kent

2428
02:11:54,600 --> 02:12:00,240
Speaker 1: Hull's sixtieth birthday today the Wall of Famer. What do

2429
02:12:00,280 --> 02:12:03,840
Speaker 1: you say is the funniest story involving Kent that you

2430
02:12:03,880 --> 02:12:08,200
Speaker 1: can possibly remember? Where? Because was he He wasn't really

2431
02:12:08,200 --> 02:12:11,440
Speaker 1: a prankster um, but he'd have a quick line or

2432
02:12:11,440 --> 02:12:13,440
Speaker 1: two every once in a while. No, yeah, the best

2433
02:12:13,640 --> 02:12:16,760
Speaker 1: thing I remember, too was mostly was him as a player.

2434
02:12:16,760 --> 02:12:18,680
Speaker 1: I mean, he's a quiet dude off the you know,

2435
02:12:18,760 --> 02:12:23,640
Speaker 1: he's great dude, really smart, great, really smart guy. I'll

2436
02:12:23,680 --> 02:12:26,120
Speaker 1: never forget where. And Jim is at the height of

2437
02:12:26,120 --> 02:12:29,280
Speaker 1: his power, right So Jim Kelly's and Kent snaps Jim

2438
02:12:29,320 --> 02:12:33,280
Speaker 1: in the ball all the time, and Jim trusts Kent implicitly,

2439
02:12:33,360 --> 02:12:38,040
Speaker 1: I mean, just without question. And so we're playing this

2440
02:12:38,080 --> 02:12:42,920
Speaker 1: game and Jim's you know, Jim got an ego, I

2441
02:12:42,960 --> 02:12:45,160
Speaker 1: mean like everybody does. So you know, he's he doesn't

2442
02:12:45,200 --> 02:12:48,840
Speaker 1: want to be embarrassed or anything. So Jim, Jim gets

2443
02:12:48,880 --> 02:12:50,600
Speaker 1: up to the last scrimmage, calls his play and we're

2444
02:12:50,600 --> 02:12:54,120
Speaker 1: going into snow Huddle's gonna be awesome. And he calls

2445
02:12:54,120 --> 02:12:56,160
Speaker 1: a play and he starts to step and put his

2446
02:12:56,200 --> 02:12:59,440
Speaker 1: hands down for the for the snap, and Kent sits

2447
02:12:59,520 --> 02:13:04,120
Speaker 1: down on the ball, turns around, looks at Jim wide eyed,

2448
02:13:04,200 --> 02:13:06,760
Speaker 1: doesn't say anything. He just shakes his head like don't

2449
02:13:06,840 --> 02:13:09,600
Speaker 1: run that, don't run of that, Like what are you doing?

2450
02:13:09,800 --> 02:13:11,480
Speaker 1: He's like, turns around, he just goes like this, no,

2451
02:13:12,360 --> 02:13:16,160
Speaker 1: and Jim just just smacks him on the on the

2452
02:13:16,200 --> 02:13:20,000
Speaker 1: butt and says okay and changes the play. No IF's

2453
02:13:20,080 --> 02:13:22,200
Speaker 1: ends or but he doesn't even question it, He just okay.

2454
02:13:22,600 --> 02:13:24,680
Speaker 1: And so he changes the play and totally plays it

2455
02:13:24,720 --> 02:13:28,560
Speaker 1: off like it didn't happen. Right, So what was said

2456
02:13:28,600 --> 02:13:30,600
Speaker 1: in the locker room after the game about that or

2457
02:13:30,600 --> 02:13:32,960
